including the beautiful "charlie hebdo" book that matt brought. in "stossel" is in tomorrow night and friday back with a new show called the hangover. wait until you see what that's about. matt welch and kmele foster, i'm kennedy. thank you so much for being a part of the show, and good night. lou: good evening, everybody. breaking news tonight. the manhunt under way in paris three radical islamist terrorists on the loose killed 12 people earlier today. a raid in reims france reportedly happening at the moment. the gunmen stormed the office of the satirical newspaper "charlie hebdo" known for caricatures of islamic figures like mohammad and islamic state leader abu bakr al baghdadi. two hooded men armed with kalashnikov rifles viciouslyg a french

police officer in the street as he lay wounded. after calling out the names of would-be victims as they stalk them inside the "charlie hebdo" offices. president obama comdemned the terrorist attack, pledged america's help in tracking down the perpetrators. >> our counterterrorism cooperation with france is excellent. we will provide them with every bit of assistance that we can going forward. i think it's going to be important for us to make sure that we recognize these kinds of attacks can happen anywhere in the world. lou: the three suspects tonight are believed to be two french algerian brother,s ages 32 and 34 who may have recently from under fighting in syria and getaway driver is believed to be an 18-year-old homeless student also a french origin. fox news senior foreign affairs

correspondent greg palkot is in paris and has the latest for us greg? >> reporter: french police confirm to fox news they have identified the three suspects in the brutal shooting here, they are it is reported said and cherif kouachi and hamyd mourad age 18. one is reported to already have a terror conviction. there are reports of ongoing raid related to the attack, but the police tell us there are no arrests yet. the manhunt continues. emergency crews race to the scene of france's deadliest terror attack in decades. masked gunmen with assault rifles stormed the offices of the "charlie hebdo" in a military-style attack shouting allah akbar god is great. in a matter of minutes they

killed 12 before escaping in a car later found abandoned. much of the stunning video came from witnesses who saw the attack as it went down. >> i was on the balcony and heard a loud noise and saw an injured policeman. >> reporter: the shots came from automatic weapon, and it was quite shocking. it was as if we were in a state of war. many observed that the attackers were well trained and carried out plan calmly. french president francois hollande expressed sorrow in a nationally televised address wednesday evening. freedom will always be stronger than barbarism. this is what i'm encouraging you to do. the unity of all and everybody should be our answer. >> reporter: earlier at the scene, he noted that several other attacks had been thwarted in france in recent weeks. the country's security alert raised to the highest level putting in place additional

safety precautions. >> i have asked the regional heads of police to take all the precaution measures needed at train stations and transport facilities. cultural institutions and public institutions, we have increased security deployment everywhere in the french territory. >> reporter: not the first time the paper's offices were attacked. they were firebombed after a spoof issue featured a caricature of the prophet mohammed on the cover. there were additional threats after more depictions were covered. among the killed stephane charbonnier as well as his bodyguard. outspoken advocate of the paper. >> it is a religion that scares people because every time we talk about it, it is when we talk about bomb attacks done by extreme minority. >> reporter: french president hollande declared three days of national mourning for those killed in the attack and no letup in the hunt. lou? lou: greg, thank you greg palkot from paris.

it appears the dragnet of the national nationwide manhunt for the three suspects has produced results. there are unconfirmed reports now that two of the suspects are in custody and that a third has been killed. we'll have the latest for you on that later in the broadcast as details are available. the terrorist attack in france left the white house in a somewhat familiar position. trying to decide what to do about a campaign-style road trip scheduled on the day of an unexpected deadly terrorist attack. today, president obama made the same choice as he has previously making a public comment before getting aboard air force one. fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry with our report. >> reporter: while president obama hoped to focus today on cheerleading the economy in detroit, reality intervened in the horror in paris left the president scrambling as aides

would not initially label it a terror attack. though the president later gathered top officials in the oval office to declare it was. >> i thought it was appropriate for me to express my deepest sympathies to the people of paris and the people of france for the terrible terrorist attack that took place earlier today. >> reporter: on the second day of a new congress already dominated by veto threats, a rare opportunity for senate majority leader mitch mcconnell to join the president in expressing solidarity with france, he took aim at the president's long claim al qaeda has been decimated. >> unlike some of the suggestions that were made as late as last year the war on terrorism is not over. >> reporter: before expressing his own sorrow in french -- secretary of state john kerry noted the commitment to battle terror between two nations launching airstrikes against isis. >> we stand with you in solidarity and in commitment. >> reporter: republican lindsey graham charged the

administration's policies are leaving the homeland exposed. graham said the president has the right goal in trying to destroy isis but added policies like releasing terrorists from guantanamo mean the u.s. is, quote, gradually losing the ability to prevent terrorist attacks. >> if we don't have track of the individuals they can travel to the united states of america. >> reporter: homeland security secretary jeh johnson shows the incident is evolveing. >> it's becoming a more and more complex terrorist threat. >> reporter: the president spoke out on behalf of the newspaper that published satirical cartoons of mohammed. >> a universal belief of freedom of expression is something that can't be silenced because of the senseless violence of the few. >> reporter: yet in an address to the u.n. general assembly days after the benghazi terror attacks in 2012 the president was not quite as aggressive.

>> the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam but to be credible, those who condemn that slander must condemn the hate and the images of jesus christ that are desecrated. >> reporter: in that speech the president blamed benghazi on anti-mohammed video. he said he would not ban the video because of free speech. a week earlier the white house press secretary jay carney said the french newspaper had the right to publish the anti-mohammed cartoons but questioned the judgment of doing that. lou? lou: ed thank you ed henry from the white house. starting next week house republicans reportedly get to work trying to defund president obama's executive action which grants amnesty to five million illegal immigrants. congressional aides tell politico that republicans plan to use a standoff over funding for the department of homeland security to limit funding for the president's executive fiat

and increase funding for border security. the development as a new government watchdog report finds the obama administration's use of unmanned drones to patrol our southern border just doesn't work. according to the homeland security inspector general, there is little or absolutely no evidence that the drones have increased apprehensions of illegal immigrants, and the program costs five times more than originally projected. nearly 63 million dollars in fiscal 2013. the report recommends the administration drop its plans to spend a half billion dollars to expand that highly ineffective drone fleet and put it three sources into efforts that show signs of working, like manned aircraft and men and women in uniform actually patrolling our border. we're coming right back. will boehner be brutal or magnanimous? and what will the new

republican led senate and congress accomplish? karl rove on if you're taking multiple medications does your mouth often feel dry? a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene available as an oral rinse toothpaste, spray or gel. biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. remember, while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isn't. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth.

. lou: the senate in session for first full working day under republican leadership, and

majority leader mitch mcconnell wasted no time in taking the president to task for threatening to veto bills on the keystone pipeline and the 40-hour work week. >> the president is not going to set the agenda here for us in the senate. we have an agenda we believe helps save and create jobs for americans. if the president wants to be a part of that, he can sign the bills that make it to his desk and if he doesn't, i'm sure he will make his best effort to explain to the american people why these measures are not in the best interest of the country. lou: the new majority leader of the senate, and joining us now is karl rove former deputy chief of staff for president george w. bush, fox news contributor. great to have you with us. happy new year. here we go. mitch mcconnell making a rather generous offer to the white house to sign the bills and everything will be fine. much as the president said pass what i want and i will sign the

bills, go along famously. >> i thought it was interesting the point if you don't like the bills, you'll get a chance to explain to the american people why you don't like them. the look, the keystone pipeline showed 72% of americans including a plurality of democrats support its passage. large numbers of republicans, large numbers of independents and plurality of democrats. so the president's hurting himself when he immediately comes out and says i'm going to veto this bill. there's a broader thing lou, that's under way, in early december, after the election pew asked the question, who do you think ought to take the lead in setting the direction for the country? and they said the opposing party in congress meaning the republicans. 53%, or the sitting president. they didn't use the president's name so as not to bias it. 36%. that seems to be a pretty big

advantage to the republicans in congress. normally people have confidence in the executive, the sitting president regardless of party. more confidence in him than they do in the congress but now that's not the case. lou: karl, the president says he doesn't pay attention to the polls. how much of a constraint can it be on him to look at the will of the people here? he seems to be uninterested in either traditional constraints, constitutionally checks and balances, equal partners in government. seems unconcerned by the constitution. is there anything that this now congressional-led senate and house can do to rein in his somewhat adventurous impulses? >> sure, absolutely. we'll see them fixing riders to appropriations bills that say no funds appropriated will be used for the following purposes. in february it's going to take

writing, draftsmanship because the president is funding his, in my opinion, illegal, unsupported statutorily not allowed immigration memorandas by using fee income of people who are in the system. so you have to say not only shall no funds be appropriated but you need to say no funds that are available in the system may be used for this. so they're going to have to find the right words to rein it. in i think that's going to pass the house with ease, and i would not be surprised if it didn't get more than 60 votes in the senate to rein in the president's spending. he'll have to veto it, and we'll have a battle over veto override. lou: you are referring to fees collected by the immigration services, by the sheer numbers involved here. it is clear to anyone who has paid much attention to the cis in its management and highly inefficient and unproductive organization, it will be

swamped, it will be brought to a standstill. there is no way in the world for cis to deliver on the president's promises. do the republicans have an opportunity to hoist the president on his own, if you will, petard? >> you are right. let's gain this out. let's say the republicans pass through the house and the senate the language that keeps him from spending dhs funds either appropriated by the congress or received in fees on his immigration memorandas. let's say they pass it, and let's say he vetoes it. if he vetoes it and it can't be overridden. if a third of the congress stands by the president house and senate stand by the president, you are absolutely right. there could be a point where the president runs out of fee income and has to come to the congress and say either give me money to pay for this or he's going to be stuck. the deficiency act and other

laws on the books in some cases for more than 100 years are going to keep him from spending money he doesn't have, and you're right the program is badly managed, very expensive. it's going to cost more than they anticipated, and if they a significant flow of people that stepped forward, they could be in trouble. the one thing that might save them is i think a lot of people who are here illegally in that covered class that he -- that the president has unconstitutionally allowing to go without enforcement of our immigration laws a lot of those people might say, i don't trust him, i'm not going to come out of shadows, i'm comfortable where i am and the circumstances i have and i'm not going to step forward and take advantage of this, quote, opportunity that the president is providing me. lou: the president says he's going to veto keystone the 40-hour work week. is there anything that appears to karl rove's vision that says

this is a place where the president of the united states and congress and the senate can actually work together and produce legislation that's in the national interest? not in the interest of the president, the left or the right, the chamber of commerce or la raza? >> look, lou, here's the issue i think the president is doing this out of machismo. he wants to set the tone saying i'm going to be a hard guy right from the get-go and i'm going bend -- the only things i want you to deal with are the things i want you to deal with and the way i want you to deal with them. there's a reality here. pass the legislation through the house and senate send it to the president, and after a while if the president's vetoing things like keystone pipeline and the definition of the work week is 40 hours, two things happen. one is the american people are going to look at the president and say where are you coming from? why aren't you doing the sane and sensible things? and you will see as we've started to see the polls

indicate that he is the source of gridlock and obstruction. second thing that's going to happen, there's only so many times can you go to house and senate democrats and say i need you to stand by me in a tough vote. only so many times i can say i want you to join me in vetoing this legislation and going home to explain it to voters whom you're going to have to face. the president said i'm never going to be on the ballot again. they will be and many will say mr. president, i know where you're coming from but can't stand with you on this veto. lou: karl, that is entirely plausible and a sage inspiring analysis. what was that one area of agreement which we're going to see unique capacity for compromise between this white house and the congress? >> well, you know, look there are a couple. one is on trade where the president wants trade promotion authority, the republicans supported trade promotion authority. the problem is the president

may not deliver upon fascinating to get your perspective. the direction of the fbi says he has no doubt north

korea was behind the cyberattack against sony pictures. listen to director james comey speaking at a cybersecurity conference today. >> several times they got sloppy. several times either because they forgot or had a technical problem, they connected directly, and we could see them, and we could see that the ip addresses used to post and to send the e-mails were from ip's exclusively used by the north koreans. it was a mistake by them that we haven't told you about before that was a very clear indication who is doing this. lou: sony's ceo doesn't expect the november cyberattack to have a significant impact on the company's finances. in fact, the movie at the center of the cyberattack and the controversy, "the interview," is already close to breaking even. it cost 44 million to make but has already brought in $36 million, and lord knows sony

got quite a break in the promotion and marketing efforts that they had to finance. up next the "new york times" accuses of nypd of extorting mayor deblahsio, and we're going to take that up and try to understand better what the house if a denture were to be put under a microscope we can see all the bacteria that still exists. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher

brighter denture everyday. these ally bank ira cds really do sound like a sure thing but i'm a bit skeptical of sure things. why's that? look what daddy's got... ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! growth you can count on from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

. lou: mayor de blasio has set the country's biggest city on edge. he has done so capriciously without seeming regard for his own regards and the high duty of the office he sought and won. nor for the men and women who serve the city of new york and law enforcement risking their lives daily to protect ours. the mayor chose to castigate the thousands of new york's finest who turn their backs on him during funerals for two officers killed in the line of duty. >> those individuals who took

certain actions these last two weeks they were disrespectful to the families involved. that's the bottom line. they were disrespectful to the families who had lost their loved one. and i can't understand why anyone would do such a thing in a context like that. lou: that is, of course the mayor's convenient construction of the events and the gesture. but it is not that of the officers and the families of officers of the two men who were killed, and they will likely not overlook nor forgive what they believe to be overwhelming hostility and disrespect of new york's finest on the part of this mayor. listen as he attacked law enforcement not hesitating to politically exploit his own mixed race son. >> good young man, law-abiding young man never would think to do anything wrong. but yet because the history hangs over us we had to train

him as families have all over this city for decades and how to take special care in any encounter he has with the police officers who are there to protect him. lou: the insults, the hostility toward law enforcement emanate from the left and the insults go on. de blasio has powerful if not surprising allies, in his ofront on new york's finest including the president, the attorney general, the president's adviser reverend al sharpton and the new york times which continues to add editorial voice to the campaign against law enforcement in the city and across the country. the "new york times" editorial board today resorted to what i consider to be fascist and authoritarian impulses of the left in urging that the justice department investigate forthwith whether new york police are guilty of civil rights violations as the times accused the nypd of withdrawing

policing from minority communities. the times editor wrote that de blasio, quote -- frankly, it's never been clearer that the times has little more than a house for the left doing anything it can do further the obama administration's campaign against bigotry against the police. i would urge mayor de blasio to, for a moment, step back to reflect and to carefully consider his nature and the better lights within it and his responsibilities to the city, and to decide whether he truly wants to govern in this fashion, whether he truly wants his legacy to be defined by this conflict of his own creation or whether he would like to be defined by leading its resolution.

now our quotation from the evening, from robert peel the former british prime minister and creator of the modern police force who said -- upon. up next more proof that radical islamist terrorism is definitely not, as the president said previously on the run. house foreign affairs committee member congresswoman ileana ros-lehtinen joins us here next.

. lou: speaker of the house john boehner today fired back at the obama administration, the latest threats from the white house against the keystone pipeline and obamacare work week mandate. >> unfortunately, by threatening two of the bipartisan jobs bills, the president essentially is telling the american people he doesn't care what they think. well our commitment is to stand up for the american people and their priorities and it's a commitment we will not break. lou: joining us now, congresswoman ileana ros-lehtinen who voted yesterday to re-elect boehner as speaker. member of the house foreign affairs committee, and because of that vote, you're going to

stay on the committee. she shares the subcommittee great to see you, happy new year. >> happy new year, let me tell you lou, what i am going stay on the committee, and the speaker is not been taking retributions on these members for voting against him on other committees, but the rules committee is a special committee. it is a traditionally called the speaker's committee. lou: he's a little sensitive he puts on that committee, isn't he? >> well come on. lou: i was kidding with you. >> he's a fun guy and conversing with the members. >> conversing sounds like rehabbing them, tutoring them along here. >> there was a time to confront the speaker that was in the november election that we held as a country, lou. lou: should i have never said a word. >> a surprise attack i think it was not the right thing to do. lou: a little joke that's all

it was. a little joke. great to see you. let's turn to paris al qaeda, they say and the terrible event, the terrorist attack and the president condemning it but again, he can't seem to spill the words radical islamist terrorist. who is he afraid of offending for crying out loud? >> i do not understand, this is the same president who looked at the fort hood islamic terrorist attack and called it workplace violence and still to this day has not called it for what it is. and now we have a similar type of attack when they're saying allahu akbar he does not want to confront it. how can you deal with the problem? that's why i worry about our security, the president's

resolve to eliminate this global jihadist network that has at its roots this hateful islamic ideology that they have distorted, but it is what it, and we've got to call it that, and this president is hesitant to do it. it doesn't mean that all muslims believe that but let's call it what it is the only way we can eliminate it is to get the radicals to be called what they are. lou: you know, i want to turn to cuba if i may, congresswoman, and you referred to the president's teamed opening through unilateral action without bringing along congress or the entire government or building a national consensus, he just decided to open, to reverse more than a half century of u.s. policy. will he be successful? what are your thoughts? >> well, this president says we're going to establish diplomatic relations with the communist dictatorship, we're going to put in ambassador, and what has changed in cuba? do they have political parties?

no, just the communist party. do they have freedom for political prisoners? no, we have given away leverage to a communist dictatorship and have gotten nothing in return. this president who fought us on let's say the colombia free trade agreement, yet wants to wheel and deal and trade everything with castro's cuba. castro owes companies and countries millions of dollars. this deal gets to the regime and gets us nothing in return. all this raul castro had to say was he's going liberate 54 innocent dissidents, and by the way, lou, up until now, has not done so it's incredible. lou: he's detained more dissidents. >> 80. lou: than at any time. >> unbelievable. lou: so it's going to be -- he has the help of the president of mexico. >> of mexico! of all the issues that we have

with mexico all the difficulties that we have, he said that asking them to help with cuba was number three on his agenda. this is pathetic. this administration doesn't know an ally from an enemy, and i worry for the iran nuclear deal. i worry for israel security if he's willing to sign this deal with raul castro, i worry for poor israel. they're going to be left out to chain anding to have to be pushed into a bad deal with the palestinians. lou: something tells me that israel will not, not be -- exceptionally quiet nor play the part of victim in this. >> let's hope so. lou: congresswoman, always good to talk with you thanks for being here. >> thank you lou, you look great. happy new year. lou: you, too. happy new year.

stocks rebounded. the dow up more than 200 points, up 213. the nasdaq up 58. volume in the big board picking up a bit, 3.8 billion shares. crude oil breaking its slide settling above $48 a barrel. that's right. i said $48 a barrel. who would have ever dreamed? listen to my financial reports three times a day on the salem radio network. we are coming right back. stay with us. . a deadly day in paris, radical islamist terrorists attack a french magazine. former u.s. ambassador to the united nations john bolton on who's

. lou: three radical islamist terrorists still at large after they kill 12 people wounded at least 10 others in paris. earlier reports by the way, that have been unconfirmed, we are actually being waived off. our catherine herridge, chief intelligence correspondent saying that french police french embassy personnel as well as the interior ministry are through her waiving us off of this story. so it remains that the point unconfirmed reports and certainly reports that we will not carry further based on

catherine herridge's reporting. the terrorists shouting alhue -- allahu akbar. >> i stopped calling them muslim. they are about as muslim as i am. they have no respect for anyone's life that's not what the koran says. europe has a problem, i think isis is a cult, not an islamist cult, i do not think we should accord them religious respects whatever they're claiming motivation clearly is a twisted cultish mind. lou: well, one could argue that the twisting was done by the good doctor. joining us former ambassador to the united nations, fox news contributor, john bolton, good to have you with us, the contortions of the left are unspeakable. the president refusing to talk

about radical islamist terrorists, did not want to call that a terrorist attack when it plainly, in the english language is a terrorist attack but radical islamists. >> without any question, i think that unwillingness to name it for what it is is a major reason why for six years the president responded to it so inadequately. it's not being deferential to the islamic religion not to identify these people as radical islamists. people hurt most by them over the years have been other muslims. you can make the argument what they do to heretics is worse than infidels, it is a first step on the road to recovery. lou: six years of frustration with the administration which refuses to do so by the way bringing up your old boss president george w. bush, that white house refused to talk about radical islamists itself. what in the hell is wrong with

the u.s. government that its leaders refuse to talk plainly, name enemies and kill them? >> i think there's a substantial element of the population that simply doesn't want to admit we're at war, the leader of that faction sits in the oval office treats this as if it's a law enforcement matter. and i have to say, i think this was a big event in paris. military-style attack against civilians in the capital city of a major western country. i don't think there's a single reason to think our president would do anything any differently. >> you may well be right but what is frustrating for the american people is to see year upon year of engagement and involvement in iraq with a disappointing conclusion it's not a conclusion it's a complete withdrawal. same thing happening in afghanistan. we have troops in 140 countries around the world engaged in one form or another a war on global

terror, radical islamist terror, and yet, we don't see any connection between policy and result and the poppy fields bloom in afghanistan and radical islamists in the form of the islamic state which the president said wasn't islamic. >> it was a junior varsity defense. lou: incredible what the national media puts up with what the republican party tolerates without too often even a remark. >> i think we've got to have a national debate about what's in america's national security interests. we think americans strengthen the world, protects us from this threat. or as the president believes are we a major part of the problem? we can ignore it as our peril. this thing that happens in paris, the attack in the cafe in sydney, australia in mid-december could happen in new york or washington or any other american city. if we don't pay attention to it, it will. lou: john bolton always good to see you. >> thank you, lou. lou: thanks so much.

a new report finds the persecution of christians reaching record levels last year. 100 million christians targeted because of their faith. the study ranking the most dangerous countries in the world in which to be a christian, north korea, first place, followed by somalia, iraq afghanistan, the list unfortunately goes on. up next billionaire pedophile jeffrey epstein's sweetheart deal with the government netted him 15 months in prison despite his ties to 40 underaged girls. his once attorney alan dershowitz is here with us next. you get sick you can't breathe through your nose... suddenly... you're a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than cold medicines alone so you can breathe and sleep shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. every truck can tow a boat. every truck can climb a hill.

every truck can haul a trailer. but not everyone can say they're the fastest-growing truck brand... in america. guts. glory. ram. so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

lou: prominent defense attorney alan dershowitz filing a statement saying he didn't have sex with underage girls linked to epstein. it was necessary for him to do so, his accusers part of a lawsuit against the us government challenging a plea deal that spared epstein federal charges. he received only 13 months in prison. pleading guilty to a state charge of solicitation of an underage prostitute. joining us now via skype alan dershowitz. he's want feeling well today. professor at harvard law school. alan, thank you for

bearing up to do this tonight. >> well, thank you for having me. i appreciate it. lou: alan, let's start with the plea deal, if i may before we move to this. how in the world was a us attorney involved in a plea deal that was constructed by -- and largely by you as i understand it, and given such a light sentence, given the level of charges, and agreed to facts? >> well, i did it along with very good lawyers, ken star kay, republicans and democrats alike. they had a very weak case. they had to rely on the word of witnesses who had long records of lying. and so we were able to strike a plea bargain which my client didn't like. he thought it was too tough. i thought it was a good deal. the idea that i would be charged with having sex with minors is just outrageous. and, you know, she charged me with

specifics. sex in a ranch in new mexico. i was once for an hour with my wife and daughter when it wasn't built yet. sex on a private island. i was there one day with a very prominent professor at the harvard business school. his wife, in-laws children, my wife, daughter. slept in the room with my wife and daughter. was never alone on the island. no women on the island. she made it up out of whole cloth. how could responsible lawyers put this pleading in -- lou: something you said respectable lawyers. paul. former federal judge for crying out loud. bradley edwards. plaintiff attorney. well-respected and well-regarded. it's your judgment that they simply maliciously and capriciously went after you. >> no, they had a reason to go after me. they wanted to avoid the deal. i was one of the attorneys who had known

jeffrey epstein before the alleged crimes were prosecuted. so they could make the accusation against me. they did it for crass financial and political reasons. the point is: they didn't do -- i did the investigation. and was able to prove through all kinds of records that i couldn't have been in these places. the woman is a serial liar. if they had done that investigation, they would have come to the same conclusion. imagine how you'd feel if you found yourself accused of being a child molester. they didn't say they would try to prove it. they just want to put it in there. like a drive-by shooting. of course, i will fight it. i'm totally innocent. lou: it's as if they didn't know alan dershowitz or his what of the andcapacityor stomach for the fight. >> i'm not that kind of

person. i'm a family man. i've been with my wife for so many years. with my children. i'm not the kind of person that would ever do it. i didn't do it. i can prove it. that's the point. lou: what kind of person though, on the part of the federal government and the state -- the state prosecutors would ignore the victims rights act and make a deal like this without informing the victims. >> well, you know that's the issue between the united states government and the victims. and that's an issue the judge will have to resolve. but they put me in this thing, even though the accusation against me was in 2014. the deal was struck in 2007. unless they had an allegation going back against 2007 which i would not be able to continue in the case this is totally irrelevant. they put it in there there to smear my reputation. they won't get away with it. they picked on the wrong victim this time.

lou: we wish you speedy recovery. again, thanks for being ill and bearing up with us. thanks. >> i appreciate it. thank you. lou: stay tuned for cavuto. coming up next. thanks for being with us. neil: filled in paris. all because of a cartoon? if that is how little it takes to set bad guys off, why aren't we doing a little more to make damn sure they never get the chance? welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. go ahead and joke about jesus. don't mess with muhammad. what he said in jest sometimes brings out the terrorist in earnest. forget about tuning him out. these terrorists want to take him out. no logic. no mercy. for much of the world no idea how to respond. we are shocked. we are saddened. unwilling to say what everyone knows is the
