Look, ive helped end a decade of war. Weve decimated al qaeda, and, yet, here he is a year later acknowledging that the remnants of al qaeda are dangerous enough to the American Homeland that he has had to basically launch a new war, and so he made a direct plea. He said it was to the entire world to join this coalition i press the nato secretary general about that very point. Lets take a listen sfwloosh they havent joined the military aspect. Theyre helping with aide and support, but why havent european allies joined the military fight . I think you will see european Allies Joining the u. S. Also when it comes to military operations. But we have not seen that really yet. British Prime Minister David Cameron in the last few hours suggesting he is edging closer to joining the military fight with the u. S. In iraq, potentially in syria, and in the last few moments netherlands has now announced the netherlands has added six f16s to the fight against isis. Again, in iraq not in syria. Chri
Actually in new york today and joining me right here in studio. Catherine, what were the headlines coming out of the hearing today . Well, thank you, gretchen. One of the main headlines is that homegrown terrorism or selfradicalization is happening right here in the United States and that the facilitator is social media. Weve heard today from the fbi director james comey and the director of Homeland Security, jay johnson, and the head of the National Counterterrorism center, matt olson, that the Nations Center for threatening information. What the fbi to is that you dont need to travel overseas anymore. There are people rate inside the country who are able to make this connection online in a virtual way. He said there are essentially rec room radical wrshz these are people sitting in their basement in their pajamas connecting with isis. We saw that specifically in this new case of that rochester man in the new court documents. Obviously, its great news that we are on to this guy and we
Thats seen heavy fighting over the last 24 hours ago. Concern, it is very close, just a few miles from an air base where there are hundreds of American Military personnel involved in training. Iraqi army air fighters there. It is increasingly an area of iraq where isis has maintained military momentum over the iraqi army over the local sunni rip tribesmen that have been trying to stop the advance. This is also getting very close to the iraqi capital baghdad. Meanwhile, across the north of iraq where the kurdish fighters have done a much more effective job, they reported over the last 24 hours, theyve come under significant fire. They think this is part of the isis tactic to attack them on multiple fronts in order to distract them. Distract them from the main strategy which is most big city in that isis still holds. Please be safe. So from what phil is telling us with isis on the move whats going on here in the United States . Congress and the president are going back and forth on the l
State. Then, its one year and one week until the election. But all eyes already on the polls. What do they really tell us and will todays frontrunners be tomorrows nominees. Also from one child to two. China changes decades of policy. Its hoping to grow its economy by growing its family. Will it work . And one of the worlds most famous scientists on dr. Ben carsons rejection of the theory of evolution. This is not something you believe in or not. This is a fact. It is a fact. Its just as much a fact as the earth goes around the sun. First, heres my take. I had an interesting visitor drop by my office last week, and he said something that stuck with me. The most important contest in the world right now, he said, is between isis and us. He is rasheed, the intellectual leader. Despite winning the countrys first free elections compromised with its political foes and helped make tunisia the arab springs only success. As he sees it, the real struggle is not between islam and the west but bet
Learned . We first told you about the attacks that marquez and farook wanted to do something in 2012. Now we are learning how disturbing the plots were. Syed farook and his friend Enrique Marquez planned to use pipe bombs for an attack at Riverside Community college where they were students, targeting the library and cafeteria area. They wanted to maximize casualties and they planned to start this attack by throwing pipe bombs into the cafeteria from an elevated position on the second floor and they planned a rush hour attack on a major highway where they would throw pipe bombs into cars and shoot into the stopped cars and kill people. Very disturbing. I understand there was a dispute in the doj even to bring this terrorism charge, right . Thats right. My colleague scott glover and evan perez, we were told that this debate of whether or not to bring this terrorism charge today went into late last night. In fact it wasnt on the table 24 hours ago. And then within the last 24 hours it wa
