>> you heard him. tom: it is a daily event. the president does not seem to be engaged in this struggling. am i too harsh? >> we have to understand. this is radical islam. the president will not even call it that. the problem that we have they got it all wrong. it is a much bigger thing than this. isis is only part of the

problem. this is radical jihad. it is the same way we disputed the communists and the nazis. there is an ideological component to it. you guys have to wear a form within. you need to call radical islam out. you see these components in other parts of the world. this is not america's fight. this is our fight. we should cut off terrorist funding. you bankrupt then. tom: i take this point. i have asked the question many times. is that resident running a risk

by doing very little. we had an attack in the united states of america. it is a dreadful situation for us all. a huge political problem for the president of the united states. why is he doing this? he thinks that it will go away. his legacy will be the same kind of legacy that chamberlin had to leave behind. we either do it now or we wait and do it later. >> let's get back to boots on the ground. do you believe that it has to be soldiers? it has to be? >> it should not be our boots on the ground.

proposing progrowth policies and we could settle these disruptions happening around the world, we could see the dow above. stuart: having a president that wants to support. they are going down in terms of prosperity. why is it that the president's policies have done that it's the opposite of what he wants to do? >> i have always reject it that argument. it is not just rich people that get rich when the stock market goes up.

the problem is not the people at the top are getting richer, the people at the bottom are not paid enough opportunities that we would normally see during a recovery. look at this list. it is blacks. it is hispanics. the people most likely to vote for president obama. stuart: they do not care if the poor get poorer so long as the rich get warmer, to. >> a good economic system wants to make poor people rich. i think president obama, they are so obsessed with redistribution and the gap.

stuart: big story today, egypt launching airstrikes against isis in libya a day after isis released a video showing the beheading of 21 coptic christians there. the mass of terror itselfs in the video referring to their enemies as crusaders. sounds like a direct reference to this: --

>> unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the crusades and the inquisition people committed terrible deeds in the name of christ. stuart: that was last week. last night the white house released a statement that said in part quote: the despicable and cowardly murder of 21 egyptian citizens in libya by isil-affiliated terrorists -- that was the direct, that was the statement. no mention of religion on either side. here is fox news contributor pete hegseth. how do do you explain this? after that brutal butchery that was on videotape how is it that the president cannot name a religion? [laughter] >> because he hasn't from the very beginning. he's wedded to his world view that says that religion in this context doesn't matter, doesn't play a part yet we're fighting an enemy who yeah, that reference may have been in some ways to the president using the

crusades as an example, but they've been calling us people of the cross, people of the book from the very beginning. this is an islamic religious war for isis and on our end we even refuse to recognize coptic christians in egypt but also jews that have been targeted across europe. we're unwilling to recognize that too. one side fighting religiously, the other not, it means our defense is going to be incomplete. stuart: pete just coming into us now is a statement there pope francis. here's what he says. direct quote: they only said "jesus help me." the blood of our christian brothers is testimony that cries out be they catholic, orthodox, copts, lutherans it doesn't matter. they're christian. the pope doesn't have any problem stating clearly the nature of this outrage. we've gone through this. i simply don't understand why the president won't do this. but i've got to ask, it's almost a daily terrorist occurrence. it looks to me like it's a

global war. is it? >> it is a global religious war being waged by radical islamists against western society, most critically christians and j wellews. so while we were use religious language, we're doing it in the context of plural itch. here in the west we've -- pluralism. we've figured out that different religions can live in peace, but as long as we understand the role religion plays in society. religion is politics, is society, is culture is all things, so we have to understand how isis sees religion as central to politics in order to defeat them. but if we strip them apart like we do in the west we're never going to understand the true nature of the enemy. stuart: so i ask this question of everybody pete, why does the president take this position? he seems to be in retreat. >> well, he has a romanticized

view of islam, a row habit sized view of what it looks like what the quran teaches. i say this often, islam is not a religion of peace it's not a religion of violence it's a religion of submission to the text. and if you look at the quran and i've read it and spent a lot of time with muslims in iraq and afghanistan, it talks a lot about violence. it's in the text. the president just seems to be content with rose-colored glasses to say this is not the true nature of that religion and it's so -- it's incredibly unhelpful, and it doesn't allow us to get to the baseline problem that we're facing today. this president wants to think the big questions are over, stuart. he thinks perpetual pieces on the horizon, in fact the opposite is the case because america is absent from leadership in the world right now. stuart: pete hegseth as always thanks for joining us. you've heard it on "varney & company" many times, your money not safe from hack attacks.

just about road rage -- [laughter] heit was very good, that psa. he spoke to us not just about that, but money and taxes. roll that tape. >> well, you know i'm for the person who have to think for the people. we need people who make great decision which direction we should go. stuart: i'm going to ask you a personal question. you make a lot of money. you certainly have made a lot of money. how do you feel about paying more than half your income in taxes to the federal and state governments? >> don't feel good at all. stuart: oh. >> not at all. stuart: can i put you down in the conservative column then? >> well, i don't know what you call it, but, you know, it just don't feel good. but, you know, you have to do things that's right. stuart: evander holyfield, you can come on this show any day you like. what would be a legitimate tax rate, and he said he could live with 10%.

of the men who helped make our country on president's day, it makes me wonder what will president obama's legacy be 30 years down the road? that's a good question to ask the author of the book, "madison's myth." come on in, david stewart. you are a historian, presidential historian. put yourself 30 years in advance and look back at today. what do you think might be your judgment of president obama? >> well that's always difficult. it does seem to me that he's going to be seen as someone who confronted tremendous challenges when his presidency began. things were in a very bad way. we have been in a state of almost perpetual with conflict with, in the middle east, and there's no, no way to say that he has found his way out of it, and i think that's going to end up being the ultimate verdict. i do think obamacare -- and i know this may be controversial on this show -- i do think

obamacare will be something people recognize as a great initiative. its success and failure may still be debated. stuart: all right, david. why did you say that on this show might not be great to say something good about obamacare?

and he had two remarkable talents, one of which is the focus of my book which is his ability to work with others. he worked with a lot of very different people hamilton jefferson, monroe washington. but he could always work with them. as long as they agreed on final outcome. the other thing was he never avoided a tough issue. he always tried to deal with it. didn't always succeed but he was a fellow who thought the hard issues had to be confronted, you had to try to figure them out. stuart: you couldn't say either of those things about president obama, could you? because he doesn't work well with the opposition and he doesn't confront the tough issues of the day. but the jury on obamacare is out, can we agree on that one? david stewart what a guy.

resources. stuart: i do not want to exaggerate. are we approaching world war iii? >> it is a global war. if this administration continues to turn a blind eye to it, it may well be. the obama administration refuses to act all at that sooner or later they will have to deal with isis. they are still recruiting. they are still gaining strength. we will have to actually go after them in a few years.
