tv The Kelly File FOX News March 31, 2014 9:00pm-10:01pm PDT
9:00 pm
oreilly@foxnews.com. word of the day, do not impune when writing to the factor, again, thank you for joining us, i'm bill o'reilly, please remember the spin stops here because we're out for you. i'm megyn kelly, live in new york, and tonight. >> the honor system in most of the societies is really the basis of a lot of harm that is perpetuated against women. >> a powerful new film on women's rights in islam coming under intense fire. tonight, we'll show you who would like to silence both the filmmakers and "the kelly file." 52 americans were held for 444 days. now, one of the iranian hostage takers just got a big job at the united nations. so what will the white house do? our cable exclusive.
9:01 pm
governor chris christie tonight talks 2016. his plans, his possible rivals and the moment he might like to forget. what do you say? on "the kelly file" right now. first on "the kelly file," growing controversy over the film showing violence against islamic women, attempts to silence the film and now attempts to silence us from telling you about it. welcome to "the kelly file," everybody, i'm megyn kelly, this film is called "the honor dire ry -- diaries," the film is focused on protecting women's rights where women are treated with something called honor violence. >> i said to her, come to me, she said i can't because i have to think about honor.
9:02 pm
she didn't want to dishonor the family by leaving her husband. and then she set herself on fire. and she died. because of honor, it is very difficult to explain it to western societies. honor is something that is carried and contained in women. and is there to be guarded by men. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> anything from wearing short sleeves or choosing to wear head scarves, being seen talking to a man, those things can be deemed dishonorable. >> thousands of women have been detained for dressing unislamically, like this woman who is screaming as she is pushed into a police car. >> the honor system in most societies is really a basis of a lot of harm that is perpetuated against women. >> this systemic, institutionalized mysogyny.
9:03 pm
>> i couldn't breathe. i was crying. but he used me anyway. >> the issue of child marriage, and honor abuse is a world wide problem. >> when you do defend the belief, there are threats of murder, and rape. physical mutilation. >> now the council for american/islamic relation, okr care, has joined in to stop the screening, others have followed suit, the film's critics celebrating the victories on their social media sites. we reached out to care to get their perspective. this is the same group you may remember that wanted to have juan williams punished about his
9:04 pm
comments, he was later fired. care pointed us to a blogger, who instead came on to defend his criticism of the film, decided to write a hit piece suggesting that jews wrote the film, and suggesting that fox news was pushing up the controversy. clearly they wanted fox news to back off of its coverage, they said american muslims join people of conscience of all faiths in condemning feel genit genitalmutilation. if anyone mistreats women, they should not seek refuge in islam, the producers are hijacking a legitimate issue to push their hate-filled agenda. so why is care and its
9:05 pm
supporters so afraid of this film? and why are they trying to shut down free speech? rip goldstein is a human rights attorney who first brought the issue to our attention. and dr. ahmed, author of "in the land of indivisible women." thank you for joining us, this is an extremely serious issue, you would think the muslim community would want this faction of muslim society highlighted. but they do not. >> i think the muslim community wants this highlighted. but you have care, the council on islamic relations, which is an organization that is connected to terror groups. it was set up as a pr for hamas, the muslim brotherhood here in the united states was set up to
9:06 pm
stifle this. >> doctor, let me ask you, you have experienced some of this firsthand, and what groups like care and those who support them say it is islamaphobia, this is an attempt to portray the muslim community against women at large. >> i think your observations are valid, the motives are questionable. they claim to be defending the vulnerable, whereas they're actually silencing the vulnerable, they do that for a reason, there is political capital in portraying the american muslim as a victim. nothing can be further from the truth. muslims in this country are more social viable and economically powerful than the majority of the world. >> what do you make of the movie? the criticism of the movie is the vast majority of muslims don't condone in this type of behavior or engage in this type
9:07 pm
of behavior and may be appalled. >> that may be true, many of us participating and many observing in muslim beliefs. most of the violence that is conducted against women occurs nine out of ten times most commonly in the muslim majority countries. we have countries that legislate and encourage and cite this kind of violence, saying that the muslim world doesn't have a role in the violence, is false, but the motive is to advance their own political position. >> the producers behind this film with which care takes issue say we want to do this film, call attention to it, we're sick of the political correctness that stops attention being called. a few years ago i did a documentary called honor killings, the blowback was amazing, the people who don't
9:08 pm
want a spotlight shined on this are very vocal. >> what they do is sue anyone, call anyone islamophobic, bringing people awareness about children that are being married to elder men. these are real human rights violations. and cair has gone out on this calling anybody who talks out, is anti-muslim, i would like to call out, in the uk, in canada, in the united states and pakistan in the muslim world, what then is pro-muslim? >> and i'll give you the floor in a second, just the statistics, 125 million women and girls suffering the female g genital mutilation, the u.n.
9:09 pm
puts the worldwide number of honor killing at about 5,000 women, it is incredible. that oxy smoron. >> that is actually a tip of the iceberg, just to add to what book said. it is only a manufactured controversy with what i can describe as political extremist front groups. that is how i would classify the organization like cair, because recently she was honored for her work fighting against violence against children and women in her country, we have muslim women doing -- >> if cair is so concerned, why aren't they leading or at the sharp point of the spear, calling attention to it. we asked brook to come on and did on my afternoon show, as well. and you reached out to a contact asking her does she want to come
9:10 pm
on and debate this with you on line. this woman, linda sarsor. >> exactly. >> and she -- this woman has not only declined to come on, her bio is featured on white house.gov, she has a high profile. she tweeted, how many times do we have to tell white women that we do not need to be saved by them. is there code language i need to use to get through? >> extraordinary. >> it is unbelievable, because what cair has done and groups have done by calling out women who are brave enough to appear in this film as anti-muslim, they have unleashed a vicious attack against those who are in the film. and there were women too intimidated to talk about these issues because people like linda sarsour are talking about them on line. >> and endangering them. >> exactly, they are trying to
9:11 pm
cover up these crimes, about these very real issues. >> she tweeted out about how domestic violence is the issue. and she is tired of those who equate domestic violence and islam. we've heard over and over, this is not an issue of domestic violence. >> that is correct. there is an absolute culture of honor violence, it is not should have to islam, but it is very prevalent in most muslim countries. and the most muslim act is to expose this injustice which is what this movie does. so cair should be hosting screenings rather than shutting them down. >> thank you both so much. we appreciate it. we're not done digging on this story, you can follow me on twitter @megynkelly. and we have new questions about executive power. our report says that the obama administration released more
9:12 pm
than 6,000 criminals onto american streets because the d.o.j. decided not to enforce the law and instead deport the criminals. former prosecutor andy mccarthy is next. plus, part two of our interview with governor chris christie. his prediction on the mid-terms, his 2016 plans, wait until you hear what he says, and the one moment that might prove a problem in the future. >> the bear hug of president obama, some people on the right in particular felt betrayed by that. they felt that you [ dennis ] it's always the same dilemma -- who gets the allstate safe driving bonus check. rock beats scissors!

9:15 pm
. tonight, new questions about limits of a president's power to enforce only the laws he likes. these come after a report based on government data suggest the feds chose to release tens of thousands of criminal aliens last year instead of deporting them as the law requires. the administration is knocking the findings, andrew mccarthy is a contributing editor, good to see you andy, the report suggests in 2013, tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who were convicted of crimes and then who came into law enforcement were released instead of being deported. the feds were saying, the mass is off. we deported a lot more.
9:16 pm
>> it is true, i don't think they're contending that they didn't release these tens of thousands people. and the other thing to bear in mind this is now coming to the surface but this actually goes back, megyn, to 2010, it is actually back to the early days of the obama administration, where they have been giving advice to prosecutors and people who were supposed to enforce our immigration laws to take what their interpretation of prosecutorial interpretation into account, and actually dismiss cases involved in the system and who should be depo deported. >> they say it is all about priorities, that they will focus on the worst criminals, people who are here illegally, they sort of say you can commit a murder, a kidnapping, you're out of here. dwi, maybe not so much. >> i would like to see what their range of crimes is. but look at the way the goal post has been moved.
9:17 pm
because what they said at first was we're not going to hassle people who have been law abiding and who lived in the country, we're just going to focus on crimin criminals. all right, well, now we're focusing on criminals. but not all criminals. >> the numbers are just huge, 68,000 people who were apprehended, who apparently we had and then said never mind. here you go again back out into the united states. and the question is whether -- the president has been hammered recently for his executive power grabs. this is an example that is less recent by still ongoing. >> this is exactly what he is doing. what he is doing, he doesn't like what congress has done or i guess as he put it has not done. so he has granted an administrative amnesty to a category of aliens who he believes should be allowed to stay in the united states.
9:18 pm
and that a very, very broad category. and being convicted of a crime is not something that disqualifies you. >> you know, the administration at the time said oh, we don't have enough resources to pursue all the cases, and therefore you have to prosecute. >> that is one end of the spectrum, they say to the states don't you dare enforce the immigration laws so they tell the states they can't defend themselves against illegal immigration, and then they won't enforce the laws on illegal immigration, and everybody is left to deal with the consequences. >> that is interesting, when they tout the deportation numbers, for those who get concerned he said they're counting events where they apprehended the illegal events and sending them back on the border. that is something every administration does but never counts. >> and what they have done on
9:19 pm
that score you have some people who decide, america not for me. they go back home. they get counted as deportations, as well, or at least they have been caught doing that. they fudge the numbers. >> uh-huh, andy mccarthy, good to see you. and up next, on the hillary clinton deal with the major media outlet that no one is talking about. plus, three weeks after sharing the final words from the cockpit of the missing malaysia plane those words have now changed. never mind, forget what we said before. this according to malaysia airlines, we'll update you. and then, one of the iranian hostage takers, one of the guys who took 52 americans hostage for 444 days wants to work at the united nations? you know what phones are supposed to have? buttons. one for each number. so-called smartphones have two, maybe three buttons max. that's neat, but what do you do when you want to dial a four?

9:23 pm
some gop lawmakers raised questions about the spanish uni vision, the deal reportedly involving the promotion and education of the well being of young children, but critics of the deal say it would mean free publicity and air time to a possibility clinton run for president. why are we not hearing more about it. brent bozell has more on this, and an announcement. >> reporter: well, imagine for a second if rupert murdock announced he was giving ted cruz a year platform to promote tax cuts and smaller government
9:24 pm
going into the 2016 election. there would be pure outrage about that. but that is exactly what they have done for hillary clinton. they have announced -- this is what buzz feed said about it. for more than a year the spanish language television network univision has em barked on a network to get exchanges, working on advertisement, partnerships and dedicated web care sites. then, they have entered into an agreement with hillary clinton to push her agenda and the president told an israeli newspaper that seeing hillary clinton as president is quote, a big dream of mine. these are people using news casts to do this. and that is a serious problem in journalism. >> and so not directly with this, but in a related development, you are launching a new effort, what is it?
9:25 pm
>> well, this is in the course of finding out preparing to run this. i don't think conservatives have a problem with the fact that it is surging, is the attention on the hispanic-latino media. and when we looked at it over a four-month period, what we found was a non-stop push for barack obama and health care. here is a number that is pretty shocking. in four months we didn't find a single story anywhere dealing with obama controversies. whether it was "fast & furious." the irs, benghazi, no mention. so if you're a latino and you depend on latino media for your news you know nothing about benghazi or nothing about the irs. >> uh-huh, so it is sort of an under-served market in that they didn't get both sides fair and balanced. brent, i want to ask you before i let you go, somebody who was a
9:26 pm
columnist at the research center, noel sheppard passed away, i was very sorry to see the announcement you posted on friday. >> yeah, it was tragic, noel was about the most prolific blogger on the internet, always pinpoint accura accuracy, always respectful of anyone he was writing about. and just a whale of a human being. he came down suddenly with cancer, and three or four months later he is dead. so it is a tragic loss and kind of broke the heart of the media research center. >> yeah, he was diagnosed with lung cancer, he was not a smoker, he blogged about how you should seize the day, love those around you every day while you have a limited time. >> there is a sobering message, ultimately a good message if we
9:27 pm
remember noel sheppard as a good man. >> we certainly will do that here, all the best to you, brent. thank you, megyn. coming up, on the search for the missing airplane after the government changed one very big detail about its disappearance. plus, part two of my cable news exclusive with governor chris christie. what he thinks about his own potential in 2016. wait until you hear him on his potential run. and what is going on in washington right now. the latest polls show that more americans think the united states is weaker than it was before barack obama took office. do you agree with that?

details on the transmission from the pilots. malaysia's spokesperson says that the voices from the cockpit was good night, malaysia, 370. not all right, good night, like the government reported weeks ago. the question tonight is how do you get that wrong in a story of this importance? trace gallagher live in the west coast with more details, trace? >> and megyn, even after they were pressured today malaysian authorities refused to explain exactly why for the past 19 days they have stood by what is a wrong report. because remember it was march 12th that they said the transmission was all right, good night. then a few days later the ceo came out and said that it was the co-pilot who said that, well, now we know that was wrong, as well. they don't know if it was the captain or the co-pilot who said
9:32 pm
the last words, they seem to indicate that they just say what they're told to say. listen to this. >> at the end of the day i'm answerable to the royal commissioner the parliamentary commission to the report. so we are not hiding anything. we're just following the procedure that is being set. >> a procedure that has frustrated the families. authorities plan to release the full air traffic control transcript to those families at some point in time. many of those families by the way now in malaysia to thank the malaysian people for their help and also to seek answers, but many of them also say it does not matter what the authorities say they will not believe them. listen. >> when it comes to court issues they just say sorry this is under investigation or i don't know about it. and was not responsible for this. when it comes to key questions they just explain basic information about the airplane that i can find out on the internet. >> we should also note that the
9:33 pm
debris picked up today, none of that is from flight 370. they're back out searching in a couple of hours. >> all right, trace, thank you. well, not so long ago he was the frontrunner for the republican presidential nomination. then a scandal over traffic jams on a bridge hit. for the first time since he addressed the cameras once on this months ago, governor chris christie spoke out last week, in part two of my cable news exclusive i asked the new jersey governor about his plans for the future. the gop presidential field and whether the u.s. is weaker today than it was not long ago. watch. one thing that appears to have hurt you is some in the republican base is what people affecti affectionately refer to as the bear hug of president obama. some people feel that it hurt
9:34 pm
you mitt romney in what appeared to be a very tight race. do you feel that? >> no, the best source for that is mitt romney. i have heard him say over and over again it had absolutely no effect on the race, either subjectively how he felt or objectively. so the answer is no, what mitt romney said to me was you're doing your job, you're doing it as best as you can, i've had that job. >> he was gracious about it. but that doesn't necessarily mean the voters will be. the voters felt you were too effusive in the praise of the man who wanted to hold onto the white house when other independents and republicans didn't want him to. to those voters still holding a grudge against you, what do you say? >> first of all there was not one person with the possible exception of paul ryan in america who worked harder for mitt romney. i was the first governor to come
9:35 pm
out and endorse him in the fall of 2011. i traveled to 26 states for him. and right up until the day of hurricane sandy, in fact that friday before hurricane sandy i was in north carolina campaigning and raising money for mitt romney, some people have a very short memory. fortunately, mitt romney doesn't. when that crisis hit, i was asked has the president been responsive, has the president been there to help the people. and my answer is yes. and megyn if i had to do it again, i would say the same thing, because it was an honest answer. >> they didn't want you to have such a smile on your face. >> well, if anybody saw me smiling during hurricane sandy, they were not looking at the right pictures, let me just finish on that point. these are the a, b, cs of me, some days it may serve your political purpose, some days it may not. but in the end, i'm not changing as the wind blows, i say what i
9:36 pm
think and i think that is what people should take cover from. the critics at least many of them my my reaction, are over that. >> top three ca now. >> wow, an interesting question, i don't know if i can restrict myself to three. the ones i think are very good, jeb bush would be an outstanding candidate for president. i think scott walker would be a really good candidate for president. i think paul ryan would be a really good candidate for president. >> rand paul? >> i think he would be a credible candidate for president. i think marco rubio would be a good candidate for president. >> there has been bad blood between you and rand paul, he has been very critical of you. would you campaign for him? >> i intend to campaign for whoever the nominee is, i'm a republican. whatever differences i may have with any one of those people that i just named because there were differences it would be minor compared to the
9:37 pm
differences i would have with whoever the democratic nominee is. >> now, some people say that mitt romney would run again. >> i don't think he will. >> how about you? >> we'll see. >> i had to ask. i knew we were going to get the answer. you sound like you were closer to doing it than you were the last time around. >> well, i think i'm older and more experienced and it is certainly something that i said to everybody that i will consider. >> but do you have too much baggage? >> no. >> you have so little baggage -- >> i'm older. >> you know, if you don't have baggage they will create it for you. that is politics in america today. people don't judge you on that kind of stuff. people look into your eyings and they try to decide what is in here. and that is how they vote. they for the for what they believe is in your heart. and can they trust you? do you care about them and understand them? will you be the type of person that they will be proud of
9:38 pm
sitting in that office? and on that basis, if i ever decided to do it i'll be happy to be judged. but my son said something interesting to me about this. said to me you know, dad, if the way you judge whether you have been a success in your life is that you had to have been a president of the united states, that is a pretty high bar. >> hope that is not right. i want to ask you about the sitting president of the united states. the latest polls show that more americans think the united states is weaker than it was before barack obama took office. do you agree with that? >> yes. >> we're weaker as a country? >> i think we are, as perceived by the rest of the world. >> why? >> listen, i think america has to continue to be around the world, and there is burdens that come with this, but we have to be a force for good around the world. and when we're not a force for good around the world. it is not as if no one else fills that vacuum. and when we retreat and pull back others fill that vacuum.
9:39 pm
and that is dangerous for our country. and it is sad for people around the world who are yearning to be free. and so from my perspective the sense that others in the world have, and i've heard this from people around the world that we've pulled back, that we're not as involved as we used to be. i think that is a problem. and i think that is what buttresses this sense that people have that we're weaker than we were before. >> and what about freedom? because the latest polls show that americans are feeling less free than just six years ago. >> well, on that one, i'm not quite as agreeable. i think we should be looking around this country and saying how fortunate we are. especially compared with the rest of the world. >> even with the expansion of big government and people feeling like uncle sam is on top of them? >> well, listen, i think that stuff needs to be reined back.
9:40 pm
>> so do the way people feel, the transitional government, in a way they're not comfortable, what say you? do you think he has been a favorable transitional president? >> i think the jury is still out on that. i think he has changed things through obamacare, especially, that has been a problem for our economic long-term success and health care system. that is why i fought so hard against it here in my state. but transformation and being a transformative president, i don't think can be judged until the end and beyond it. and the president has a lot of work to do if he wants to be a transformat transformative president, even in a way that i would object to. i think there is work to be done on our side as well. we have to stop talking all the time what we're against, and talk about what we're for. and that will be a much more effective counterweight to the president than just instantly talking about what we oppose,
9:41 pm
let's talk about what we're for and how we'll make it happen. i think that will give people a lot of faith and confidence and hope about the future, not just that we're against things but that we are for a positive vision for our country. that is what i have done here in our state. i talk about what i'm for, some people don't like it. but that is okay. at least they know what i'm for and then they can make a judgment one way or the other. we have to drop the ball, and i hope that we don't. >> do you think republicans will take control of the senate? >> i do. >> i'll leave it at that. >> remember, i was the only guy who predicted in 2012 that mitt romney was going to beat barack obama handily in the first debate and transform the race, go back and look at the sunday before, people thought i was crazy. i was right. i predicted they were going to win the united states senate. we'll roll that tape back after november. >> tomorrow you're heading to las vegas. >> i am. >> do you feel like your luck is
9:42 pm
changing? >> i feel like tomorrow will be better than yesterday, that is all you can hope for in this life. is that tomorrow we'll be better than yesterday. >> we would like to know what you think about our interview with the governor, everything you just heard. follow me @megynkelly. and 52 americans were held in tehran for 444 days. and now one of the hostage-takers just got a big job at the united nations? we have got breaking news on that story with ambassador john bolton ahhh. beautiful day in baltimore where most people probably know that geico could save them money on car insurance, right? you see the thing is geico, well, could help them save on boat insurance too. hey! okay...i'm ready to come in now. hello? i'm trying my best.
9:43 pm
seriously, i'm...i'm serious. request to come ashore. geico. saving people money on more than just car insurance. when folks in the lower 48 think athey think salmon and energy.a, but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. thousands of people here in alaska are working to safely produce more energy. but that's just the start. to produce more from existing wells, we need advanced technology. that means hi-tech jobs in california and colorado. the oil moves through one of the world's largest pipelines. maintaining it means manufacturing jobs in the midwest. then we transport it with 4 state-of-the-art, double-hull tankers. some of the safest, most advanced ships in the world: built in san diego with a $1 billion investment. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. and no energy company invests more in the u.s. than bp. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work.
9:46 pm
breaking news tonight about iran and one of the hostage takers who held 52 americans for roughly 14 months starting back in 1979. now the iranian government wants this man, one of the members of that group behind the hostage taking to be its next ambassador to the united nations. just a short time ago, they demanded he did not receive a visa, john bolton is a former u.s. ambassador to the united nations and a fox news contributor, ambassador, you can't make this up. his defense was well, i was only a translator and negotiator, does that make a difference? >> of course not. this is outrageous, this is the
9:47 pm
ayatollah sticking their thumb in our eye. they know exactly what they're doing. they know how much the hostage-taking still says to americans that the carter administration was weak. and that they took advantage of us. and this fellow has been a close associate of rouhani since the days of the revolution. they know that by picking him they are deliberately raising the hostage-taking and the subsequent weakness that it revealed. the hostage takers know one other thing, as well, they know barack obama will do nothing to stop this. because they have him dancing to their tune, they know he wants progress on the nuclear negotiations and that they can put their thumb in their eye by naming this ambassador and getting away with it. >> he comes out and says well, i've been to the united states before and when i came in '94, nobody ever questioned my pass,
9:48 pm
what do you make of that? >> well, that was the clinton administration. you have to take a pretty aggressive view here. the united states is entitled under the headquarters of the u.n. to deny visas or diplomats to meet at the u.n. if they're a threat to international security. and i would say this guy is a continuing threat to american national security. to have participated in a violation of diplomatic immunity which is what that hostage-taking was, remains to me a crime that has never been prosecuted. it is true that this fellow has been an ambassador to several european countries and all i can say to that is that the europeans have their standard, we have ours. >> yeah, and what an affront to the hostages, alive and well today, those of whom are still here and objecting and wondering why this man who participated in their capture is potentially walking around on american soil or in the u.n., in any event. good to see you. thank you, megyn. up next, day one for
9:49 pm
obamacare, chris stirewalt for this moment, wait until you see this moment with kathleen sebelius, plus, "hannity" at the top of the hour. >> weekdays are for rising to the challenge. they're the days to take care of business. when possibilities become reality. with centurylink as your trusted partner, our visionary cloud infrastructure and global broadband network free you to focus on what matters. with custom communications solutions and responsive,
