Retired general john allen to lead the International Effort against the terrorist group. The specifics are being finalized. The cia has increased its estimate of possible isis fighters. The initial estimate was as many as 10,000 and now the cia is saying that they can muster between 31,000 fighters. We want it get more details on the foreign fighters that are helping to swell the isis ranks in syria. Brian todd is following that part of the story. What are you finding, brian . More than 15,000 foreign fighters, including about 2,000 westerners, have gone to syria to fight. The source said they have come from more than 80 countries. Of those, according to a u. S. Intelligence official, hundreds of them are westerners and hundred of westerners are fighting for isis, including maybe a dozen or more americans, brianna. So thats how the breakdown is right now. The 15,000 foreign fighters in syria is an astounding number because we know there could be as many as 31,000 fighters in isis alone. Of those, hundreds are westerners and maybe a dozen more are americans. And tell us in france, its giving us a sense of how isis recruits foreign fighters. What have we learned here . The man handed over to french authorities from turkey the French Interior minister calls him a particularly dangerous individual who recruited many young people in france, several of them teenagers. Some of those fighters went to isis, some to other groups. Analysts say they tend to lure these young men with the ideal of fighting for the cause, they pay their fighters, according to intelligence officials, but its not clear the range of pay and how they pay them and what they pay them. A little unclear. Were digging on that a little bit. Were going to have more tonight at 6 00. They do pay their way into syria and some of these areas. They pay for their travel and also pay them a small salary. Also, we have to say these recruiting videos are a huge recruiting tool for them. Here is a jihadi video just luring people in. Come fight for the cause, come for the adventure. Come be a hero. Those are some of the things they lure them with. Its a pretty astounding recruiting process. Its a terrorist organization with a serious pr effort. Brian todd, thank you so much. What about the u. S. Passport holders, for instance, that have gone to syria to fight alongside isis . What should authorities do to keep them from carrying out terrorist attacks . John thune is one of a dozen senators calling for action. What do you want that the administration isnt doing . We want to see a plan, brianna. One of the things that should concern a lot of americans is so many westerns are involved in this. As you just heard, the effect of social media and trying to radicalize them as people, make this a real, attractive magnet for younger people in particular to come there. But the fact that there are americans and europeans in the fight withholding passports is a real concern. How do we prevent these people from coming back into the country . They are on no fly lists. Were just asking secretary of state john kerry and jey johnson, secretary of homeland security, do you have a plan to prevent these people from coming back into the United States where they may do harm. I want to talk to you about some of the semantics and then also the congressional role. Some say there should be an authorization of military action. Republicans run the house. Youre a former house member. Why dont they just do it . Its not exactly a profile encourage if there are people calling for this and yet the house isnt going ahead and naturally taking action. I think unwith of tone of t. Is, congress can do that on its own. They are going to act on a continuing resolution which will provide the authorization to train the troops, the moderate opposition. In terms of the broader authorization, the Community Welcomes congress doing it themselves but i, frankly, think it would be advisable to talk to congress and with that request and for congress to act on it. I think thats the way the process ought to work. Most of us i personally believe that they do have Legal Authority based upon the 2001 and 202 aufms. A year ago we heard the president say its stronger if congress is involved and not just in a consultant role but beyond that, voting on this. To your point that this isnt the way that its done, Speaker Boehner said, it hasnt been done that way before. I mean, it sounds kind of like a lame excuse, in a way to, say thats not how weve done it before. Well, i think and really, frankly, it is. Theres one commander in chief and thats the person who says, this is what i want to do. This is my objective. Hes the one that comes and sells his plan. Weve gotten sort of conflicting signals about that and the concern that a lot of republicans in congress is, is the president in this to win it . And if he really is, he could come with an authorization are to the use of military force, get congress to vote on it. The last time he proposed doing, that of course, is enwhether he was when he was talking about using force in syria and then he got pushed from the left and he pulled away from that. I want to end on a sound bite that we have of secretary kerry. This is how he is describing in an interview with our elise labott the campaign to destroy isis. He says its not a war. Lets listen. What we are doing is engaging in a very significant counterterrorism operation. And its going to go on for some period of time. If somebody wants to think about it as being a war with isil, they can do so. But the fact is, its a major counterterrorism operation. A major counterterrorism operation. Why not call it a war . It is. I think they are trying to give base to their political wars in the country. There are democrats leery of this and, frankly, most of the calls for the president to come to congress are coming from democrats right now. But i think when he says that, its its basically denial of what is happening. Were dropping bombs in a foreign country. Weve got 1700 troops on the ground. This is a war against isis. This is a war to destroy an organization that is set upon doing great harm to americans and to our allies around the world. Senator thune, thank you for being with us. Really appreciate it.

The president called on middle east countries to join with the United States, jordan, egypt, lebanon and saudi arabia are some of the partners who have signed on but israel is not in that group. Mark regev is joining me. The Prime Minister would only say that israel is only playing a part. Is israel part of this coalition to defeat isis . Theres no doubt whatsoever as to which side israel is on. My Prime Minister said yesterday that we fully support, fully support president obamas call for International Action against isis. Isis is a threat to all civilized countries, to all responsible actors on the International Stage and we have to defeat isis. Whats the hesitation to be h labeled as part of the coalition . I think there could be some Diplomatic Solutions of having israel up front because we want to have sunni arabs in this. Some of it will be known publicly and some of it will be remaining secret. There should be no doubt that israel is an active partner in the fight against isis and against the other islamic extremist and they want to return to some premedieval society and these are violent terrorists and have to be defeated. What type of military role is israel considering or prepared to take in combatting isis in syria . I think its best that i dont answer that question publicly. Israel has a very close militarytomilitary relationship with the United States, intelligencetointelligence relationship. We are Strategic Partners and the National Security establishment has been speaking to their american counterparts and we are cooperating fully in this effort. Youll forgive me if i dont go into greater detail than that other than to say it must be remembered that isis is just one branch of a very poisonous tree. And you have other radical movements out there, whether its the al nusra front, hezbollah backed by iran, hezbollah in lebanon, whether its al qaeda oral shabaab or boko haram. They are all branches of the same poisonous tree and its crucial that we defeat this radical extreme islamist terrorist movement. Is it on the table, though, Israeli Military action, to combat isis . If you cant say that it definitely is, is it on the table . Im not going to answer exactly. Okay. For obvious reasons that question. I apologize, brianna. The Prime Minister has come under some criticism from opposition leaders. They say that a lack of Public Partnership with the u. S. Is a diplomatic failure. Whats your response to that . No. Weve been through this sort of thing in the past. When america is focusing on trying to get arab states, Sunni Arab States to step up to the plate and to play their part in a concerted effort, sometimes israels presence in these things has to be a little more behind the scenes. Is there a having said that is there a trigger that i know that youve said that everyone knows what side israel is on here. Is there a trigger, though, that would force israel to take a bigger role or to maybe come out from behind the scenes in the fight against isis . I dont want to go into different contingencies. Its obvious that youve got isis in iraq and in syria. Youve got isis maybe threatening to other countries, lebanon and jordan. And i think its fair to say that israel will act as needs be. First of all, in coordination with the United States and, of course, if we are directly to protect ourselves but isis is not only a threat to the region, its a threat to the world. Its a threat to the United States, its a threat to israel, its a threat to all democratic countries and its crucial that we nip this in the bud. The good news is that this can be done. This task is doable and that if we act concertedly with allies, we can nip this in the bud.

The nfl and commissioner Roger Goodell are coming under fire over their handling of the ray rice case. Now a Bipartisan Group have sent a letter to the commissioner asking that the ncfl Institute Real zero tolerance policy and send a real message that the legal will not tolerate violence. Joining me to talk about this is minnesota senator who signed that letter. Thanks for being with us. And tell us if youve gotten a response from the commissioner here. Brianna, we havent gotten a direct response yet but many people have been hearing the news out there. And one of the reasons the Women Centers came together, just as we came together to pass the violence against womens act was to say that these players are role models for young men all across the country. And this is an opportunity for the nfl to change their policies and really when you think about this, this is a celebrity player but we know this happens all the time in america. And we cannot change the culture when people are getting small suspensions. Youre taking a strong stance as well against the nfls policy of the six game ban saying it is too short. With the first consideration given to mitigating factors and a longer suspension when situations warrant. A second offense will result in ban ne banishment from the nfl. Do you think players should be treated differently because, as you say, they are role models . No. You look at all employees when you look at a policy for your business. In this case, obviously the nfl hadnt done all of their homework. They knew that the act was so atrocious, the way that he beat up his then fiancee, it was so outrageous, that they ended up releasing him from the team. This gets to the point of, why didnt they try to get all of the evidence. Clearly there are reports that they had that tape within their midst and also when youre an employee you really want to try to get the facts. I know as a prosecute are to,or victims change their story because they are scared and they are scared economically. This happens all the time and you have to understand that if youre going to have a policy in place on Domestic Violence and at some point we know the ray rice knew about this video, we knew that there were a lot of people that knew about this video. So it seems outrageous to me that they didnt try harder to get a copy of the video. Can i ask you, and thats really interesting to hear you say, coming from a former prosecutor, i think a lot of people have been shocked. Reporters found that overwhelmingly it was women who were wearing the ray rice jersey and when reporters interviewed those in the stand, they said this is a private matter between this couple they are getting counseling, as we have heard. Do you think theres any room for Second Chances after counseling is the nfl currently gives right now . There is always room for Second Chances in america for everyone unless youre put away for the rest of your life. I think the point here is that the nfl mishandled it and admitted how they h
