the day, do not be a quiver when writing to the factor. do not be a quiver. thanks for watching us tonight. up next, i'm bill o'reilly, please always remember, the spin stops here. we are definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight, new fallout from the president's decision to send american troops back into iraq as we learn the terrorists now have control of a chemical weapons facility. welcome to the kelly file, everyone, i'm megan kelly. the president making clear that iraq is the racky's problem. he says we will send in 300 military advisers to help them solve it. president obama has lost the confidence of the american people. the latest polling shows most americans, 54%, do not trust this president to lead. 54%. nearly 60% disapprove of his

foreign policy. the situation in iraq clearly fueling some of that. why would americans blame barack obama for the mess. wasn't it the mush cheney team that got us into this mess? >> i pressed former vice president, dick cheney on that. >> in your op ed, you write, rarely has a u.s. president been so long about so much at the expense of so many. time and time again, history has proven you got it wrong in iraq. you said hussein had weps of mass destruction, that the iraq is your genesee was in the last throws and you said after our intervention, extremists would have to rethink their strategy of jihad. now, with almost $1 trillion & 4500 american lives lost there, what do you say to those who say, you were so wrong about so much at the expense of so many? >> no.

i fundamentally disagree. you have to go back and look at the track record. we inherited a sways where there was no doubt in anybody's mind about the extent of sadam's involvement with the weapons of mass destruction. we had a situation where if after 9/11, we were concerned about a follow-up attack that would involve not just airline tickets and box cutters but something far deadlier, perhaps a nuclear weapon. it would have been irresponsible not to act. >> whatever the mayor rierits o getting into iraq, our troops made great progress to where joe biden said this in 2010. >> i am very optimistic about iraq. i think it is going to be one of the great achievements of this administration. >> so what happened? we pulled out at a precipitous time. that country was stabilizing and not stable. the iraqi leader, maliki, was

not trusted, rightly, as it turned out, by iraq's sunni population. some urged our president to try harder to keep american troops in iraq. americans were war-weary, including president obama, who couldn't or wouldn't reach a deal with maliki. the americans went home. on the downward spiral came from all sorts of reasons, including leader in maliki but also the fact that sunnis and shiites have hated each other for hundreds of years. there was an opportunity to secure the gains we had made. the president chose not to take it. they learned that americans, no matter what their president may threaten, are not prepared to return to this region in any meaningful way. actions have consequences. for republicans and democrats. joining me now, andrew mccarthy, author of faceless execution and john bolden, a fox news

contributor. gentlemen, thanks to both of you for being here. andy, you have written extensively about iraq from the beginning on to today. where do you stand on it? >> i still think it was the right thing to do, to go in. the reason for going in was in the post 9/11 period, we could not abide having rulers who were aiders and abettors of terrorism. they said after the 9/11 attack, we had to hunt down terrorists and treat them as terrorists. that was the only prescription for victory in the war. i think the detour that went wrong was the idea of trying to turn iraq into something resembling a western democracy, which i think was a fool's errand in the end. i think the major problem in iraq and the one that continues to be intractable is is la mick. that's just a fact of life in that region.

>> ambassador, as the president announces we are going to send 300 military advisers over to iraq -- is that synonymous with soldiers? when we sent a bunch of advisers over to vietnam and we wound up in a war. americans are questioning tonight whether this is worth it, whether we want to be getting -- first of all, it is 300 people, troops, advisers, whatever they are, going to get it done. second of all, do we want to send even one more under these circumstances? >> i have no idea what the president's policy is. i'm not sure he does either. the question for us is not what the last 10 years of history might allow us to argue about but what our interests are today. it seems that this conflict between ice sis and the al maliki government is a conflict between two sides we don't have much interest in. i think you have to try and

assess who the principle enemy is to american interest. right now, it is iran. i don't see any up-side to aiding the maliki government, which is largely responsible in iraqi terms for the effective partition of the country that's underway. aiding al maliki would objectively strengthen iran, which i don't see. >> let me ask you about this. people are looking at the past ten years to figure out how we got here and whether that is reflected in these poll numbers for president obama, which are on a downward spiral and whether he can be fairly tarred with what's happening in iraq muchless significantly. it seems like when people go to talk about president obama, they talk about the fact that we didn't leave some troops there to sustain the blood and pressure that was sacrificed, rightly or wrongly, depending on your point of view by our american troops on the ground there. >> megan, i think the same

problem obtains today as obtained in 2008. that's the part of the story i don't think anyone is focused on. president cut the best deal he could get under the circumstances. the circumstances were that the iraqis wanted us out. 60% of iraqis thought that americans were legitimate targets of jihad. 80% wanted us out. maliki was not going to give immunity to our troops. under those circumstances, i certainly wouldn't have committed u.s. forces there under the circumstances. >> that's an important point. the audience should know, you are not a big defender of president obama. >> no, not often. >> people need to remember, 80% of the iraqis wanted us out. 70% of the americans wanted us out. president obama ran for office saying he would get us out at the time. so he got in and ambassador bolton, al maliki gave us a hard

time with the immunity for the troops. mr. obama's critics say it was nonsense. he used whatever excuse he could to avoid putting troops on the ground. it wouldn't have taken that many but more than the paltry 3,000 he was offering. if we could have kept more on the ground, we could have protected the gains 4600 americans sacrificed their lives. >> it is irrelevant to the circumstances we face now. >> you keep saying that. it is relevant to a lot of people who are out there wondering, how did we get here? is it not relevant to ask, how did we get here? >> it is very interesting but the decision-maker, has to look at environment we have now and that's why i think it is a mistake at this point for the president to put these 300 advisers in place to help the al maliki government. i think that ends up in strengthening iran's hands in iraq at a time when iran is the

principle threat that we face. i couldn't care less what obama's poll numbers are. the issue is what we should do to protect american interests. >> you know that a lot of people are out there tonight saying, well, weren't you one of the people who was in favor of going into iraq in the first place. is that why you don't want to discuss the past ten years and whether they were worth it? >> i would be happy to discuss the past ten years and we can start ten years before that if you want. that's not the question that america faces today. >> andy, i'll give you the last word. >> i just think the fact on the ground that makes a difference continues to be the islamic sue prem ma sichl and i am not convinced we could have consolidated our games unless we were willing to have a permanent troop deployment there. i think it is quite right to point out that right now, we don't have an ally in this game. i don't see iraq as any different from syria in that regard. >> very interesting discussion, guys. thank you both so much.

also, breaking tonight, we have reports of this terror group has taken control of what is described as saddam hussein's premier chemical weapons plant. the state department has just wae w weighed in. we are told it holds supplies of sarin, mustard gas and a na nere gas, vx. they are saying they don't believe terrorists could use these chemicals without great risks to themselves. we came up with a cia report that raises specific concerns about this plant and what was sealed inside. in just three minutes, we have a former cia agent and the terror expert who has tracked the rise of this group and share what they know about the possible threat here and in particular the threats about sarin gas. dramatic developments in the scandal of the irs's targeting of conservative groups.

see why the white house may be directly linked to this in a new way. >> i think this is a scandal in and of itself. it is absolutely not credible.

>> new and potentially dangerous developments out of iraq as the group has control of saddam hussein ace chemical weapons

facility. they once produced mustard gas and nerve agents and where there are still stockpiles of what was left behind after desert storm. there is a caveat. joining me buck sexton and seth jones. seth, let me start with you. as the vice president, dick cheney, mentioned your report as something he was read and was rather disturbed by, just last night on the rise of al qaeda and other terror groups. i know you have been looking into this facility. what do you know and how concerned should we be that this i isis has control of it? >> it did have and likely does have a number of chemical weapons. they are almost certainly heavily degraded. the facility was sealed two

decades ago. everything is likely in extremely poor condition. frankly, anybody, including members of isis right now, that try to enter it through the earth then burns are going to need protective equipment and it is not clear at this point they have the capabilities to go in and use anything in there, specially if it is even useable. >> before i bring in buck, i want to ask you another question, seth. i know you have been researching in particular isis and the use of sarin gas, which can be devastating, a chemical weapon. tell us what you know? >> well, what's particularly concerning, even if isis isn't able to use anything at the chemical weapons complex, what is a little bit more concerning is that they have had at least for the past year probably longer an effort to build chemical weapons, particularly sarin production capability. we have had arrests in turkey and iraq, individuals connected

with in aan al qaeda affiliate trying to secure sarin. the fact that this group is attempting to secure chemical and biological weapons is of concern. they are on the market to buy or seize it. >> it raises the stakes or should. we all know what happened in syria. in the meantime, this same group has seized control of most of an oil refinery there, not to mention a bank and taken half a billion dollars from that bank. how important is the oil refinery in this? >> well, beiji is the largest oil refinery. it shows the maliki government is incapable of holding a strategic asset. this adds another problem on their very large and growing list of serious, strategic problems. it also means that the

insurgents insurgents, the terrorists have the control of the life blood of the northern iraqi economy. they use this fuel obviously for cars. it is also used in generators. this is what you need for electricity generation. it givers the insurgents a tremendous revenue source. this is going to be something they can use to buy weapons and recruits. al qaeda has a long-standing history of paying low level street finders and generals salaries. they have the funding to continue on with what is an invasion by this isis force. >> on the subject of recruits, seth, there may be plenty of them. in the report the former vice president referenced last night that you wrote, you talk about how the increase of these jihadist groups and fighters went up considerably. 58% in the number of jihadist groups, a tripling of attack, a doubling of jihadist fighters. why so many. >> in particular, the war in

syria right now and the calls for sunni clerics across north africa and europe to go there and fight has resonated across the muslim world. this is of concern and this is what isis did in iraq. they leveraged the money, weapons and fighters they have been using in eastern syria right now and moved them down into iraq and actually made use of both warfronts at the moment. they have moved stuff even now back and forth across both borders. this jihad activity has been attracting fighters at levels we haven't seen since the 1980s anti-soviet jihad. >> what do you make of the increase? >> there is a similarity to the afghanistan-pakistan model. meaning the syrian area is a rearguard area where they have relative safe heaven, the ability to train and gather jihadists from all over the

world. that has been happening. when the army is trying to fight against them, they can't go into syrian territory. they won't do it. when we are trying to fight in afghanistan, we aren't going to follow them with some exceptions into pakistan. >> do they look at the united states at all? political leaders, presidents, does that factor in? or is it just all about we hate americans and the west, it doesn't matter who is there. we want to kill them. >> when it comes to what was referred to as the global war on terror, america has to take the lead. president obama's unwillingness to establish -- he has established red lines. he has then decided they don't count. to establish a real policy in some limited spaces, right now, the training operations they are talking about in places like iraq have been going on elsewhere. that alone, is not going to be enough to stem this tide. jihadists are playing for control of territory. they are trying to control nation states. they want to be the government in some of these places.

they want to establish that as you know. that is a new level. that's beyond trying to wage attacks that garners attention for the cause. that's what the policy has led us to. we have pulled out of the middle east. >> thank you both. the irs scandal with reports that more possible evidence may have been destroyed. that's just ahead. plus, a new twist in the government's effort to strip the team name from the washington redskins. see how uncle sam may now be getting a big assist from some in the mainstream media. you will not believe what they are going to do. texas has decided it has had enough with the surge of illegal immigrants crossing the border. see how that state is now trying to turn ba

developing tonight, a new twist in the federal effort to strip the team name from the washington redskins. yesterday, the u.s. patent office canceled the team's trademarks and said the word is disparaging to native americans. a number of media outlets decided to help out not to use the term redskins in any reporting. we have more. >> the sports editor for the seattle times says, he cannot control what redskins owner, daniel snyder says. he can control what's on your doorstep. the paper will no longer print the name redskins. they join the kansas city star and the san francisco chronicle and the star in not using the term. other media outlets are considering a ban. in a story about them losing their trademark, a nbc host

warned viewers when someone was about to say redskins. >> he does use the name of the team. so i'm going to warn you about that. let's listen to senator harry reid. jim gray says, he will keep saying the name redskins as long as their name is still the redskins. here is jim. >> i didn't call muhammad ali cassius clay. i didn't call kareem jabbar lou al cinder. as long as they are the redskins, that's what i am going to do, unless the people i work for tell me differently. >> it is not just being debated among professional journalists. the student editor of the neshaminy high school news letter refused to print the word redskins even though the school mascot is the redskins. other students believe they have a right to show their red skin pride in the school newspaper and the school agreed ordering that the name be printed. the editor refused and

graduated. month are than 60 high schools still have the redskins mascot. >> how are they going to do it, trace? the announcers doing the game are going the washington -- scored. >> they are going to use washington r-blank or skins. >> they have no idea what skins would be referring to, what that is a shortened form of. what are the papers going to do? to me, this seems like this could be another iteration to when prince changed his name to a symbol. it is going to be very hard. >> it is going to be tough. >> the away team scored 14 points. trace, thank you. let me know what you think. go to facebook.com/the kelly file. or facebook.com/megynkelly. there are a lot of ways to reach me.

from the world headquarters of fox news, it's "the kelly file" with megyn kelly. new developments in the irs file. it may be impossible to recover lost e-mails from the woman at the heart of the investigation. lois lerner has refused to speak out asserting her fifth amendment rights. her e-mails may be the only way to learn what happened. the irs is not making it easy. just last friday, late in the day in a multi-page report, they buried the news. we learned that nearly two years of miss lerner's e-mails vanished when her computer crashed. then, we found out that six other irs employees e-mails went poof. terrible, terrible computer glitches. now, we are hearing that lois lerner's hard drive not only

crashed but that it was recycled or wiped clean. why did they do that? today, a bombshell report shows one of those six who also lost their e-mails magically, also happened to be a frequent visitor to the white house. she just so happened to be chief of staff to the former acting irs commissioner, steven miller, who resigned in the wake of the targeting scandal. even with all that, remember what the president told bill o'reilly about the irs. >> there were some boneheaded decisions. sg boneheaded decisions but no mass corruption. >> not even mass corruption. not even a smidgeon of corruption. >> morgan right is a cybersecurity expert and jay seculo is chief legal council for the american center of law and justice and represents dozens of conservative groups that say they were targeted by the irs. >> jay, i want to start with you. what do you view as the most significant development?

the commissioner went to the white house 31 times? >> that's obviously very significant. the fact that her e-mails are gone. as you said, they are no longer in existence. you have to ask, and i think it is clear, we have six other officials whose e-mails are also wiped out. there is one critical e-mail and this is the connect to the white house. there was an e-mail between lois lerner and nicole plaque, the chief of staff. it said, we want to look at making criminal cases against our clients. they said they had no evidence and would have to piece them together. she makes 35 trips to the white house when there was a lawsuit going on, the hobby lobby cases. >> wait. i think we are losing the viewers. in may of 2013, just so the viewers know, lois lerner sends an e-mail to nicole flax. she says, hey, i just got a call from the d.o.j. they are asking who they can talk to here at irs about

democratic senator sheldon whitehouse's idea that we criminally prosecute some conservative groups who we think may be liars about their political acist it is. solo which is is calling nicole saying this democrat wants us to work with the d.o.j. to see about criminally prosecuting the conservative groups? >> right. >> nicole flax writes back and says, i think we should do it? >> right. >> nicole procedures to go to the white house dozens of times and now both lois and nicole, whoops, had a computer glitch and we can't get their e-mail. do i have it right? >> yes, but there is something else. when that e-mail came out, two days later, lois lerner issued the fake apology. at the same time, nicole flax went over to the white house after the e-mail about the criminal charges. what was the discuss at the white house? what was that about? nobody has their e-mails. >> right as lois lerner went

public, she was meeting with nicole about possibly criminal prosecutions. >> let's talk about what's real and what's not real. what they said about lerner's details? they said lerner sent an e-mail from her desktop. there was a crash. she e-mailed. we have evidence she did complain she had a crash. they said the irs said in a letter to the congress, e-mails are -- they go to servers. they are not just on your desktop. they go to the servers but then the servers rewrite every six months. we couldn't get the e-mails off of her fried laptop or desktop and the server had rewritten. why is that not plausible? >> it is not just lois lerner. it is the other six. >> i get that. stick with lerner right now. explain to me what is not plausible. >> she is a high-ranking official. these e-mails exist, not just in her inbox. they exist on backup tapes. >> that's the server, right?

>> there is the server. once it operates for a while, it does a backup of itself. those tapes are then archived somewhere. the irs commissioner said in testimony during march, the congressman asked him, he said they exist but it will take years to get there. >> let me stop you there. that's a different kind of evidence. when the commissioner testified, he said, yes, we'll give you all those e-mails, lois letter new . why is it not plausible that the e-mail went to a server and after six months, the irs was too cheap to have a lot of memory on a server or whatever it takes? it just rewrites itself. >> they are so complex. i don't believe it for a couple of reasons. they maintained information from

tax payers. from the mid '70s backward, you can go and get a lot of information. third of all, i had actually taught a lot of people from the tax inspector general. agents that did inspections inside the irs and were able to get e-mails. so it is kind of not plausible to think they all disappeared and there is no recovery. >> if they are not telling the truth about the servers, they are in serious trouble. what is your evidence that this really -- look what we have seen. look at a.j. jackson, sebelius. is it so plausible the irs is such a hot mess it has this crappy irs server and that it rewrites. they always have the records to audit us but when it comes to their bad behavior, it disappears. is it so implausible? >> yes, it is. those e-mails went to other people. the department of justice, the

federal election commission. there were recipients to these e-mails, unless all of theirs were mysteriously wiped out. there is a federal record-keeping act here. you are supposed to keep hard copies of significant data. this would be significant data when you are talking about mass criminal indictments when you are talking about people engaged in free speech activity. they went to somebody. where can you you get them in discovery if the white house doesn't produce them? >> the white house came out and jay carney said, hm, there are not. if you want the communications, we checked and there are no e-mails between lerner and the executive office of the president. >> except nicole flax we know was the conduit to the white house. let's get her e-mails and see if there are e-mails between her and the white house and i bet you will not find those unless their computer has crashed as well. >> this nicole flax, this chief of staff, whose e-mails are

gone, the guy she was chief of staff to, steven miller, he is an important figure and he has been accused by congress of directly misleading them. he testified while the target was going on and while he was investigating that. here is a sample of that. may of 2013. >> i did not mislead the committee. i stand by my answer now. i stand by my answer now. harassment discussion implies political motivation. there was a discussion going on. there is no political motivation. >> he is trying to explain his earlier answer where he said that there was no harassment of conservative groups. by this point, he had been caught. >> he should have took fifth amendment is what he should have done. at that point, he couldn't get out. look, it took them a year to respond to congress and subpoena and say, we don't have any e-mails. this whole thing is a sham.

with the situation as it exists right now, it is going to take discovery in a federal court. the conduit is in the white house. the defendant in our lawsuit, nicole flax, we are going to get that information as the case moves forward. the ridiculous nature of this is that lois lerner is one important element. she is not the most important. we are finding it a lot higher than lois lerner. >> do you know what the six other employees, whether their e-mails and documents are missing from the same timeframe as lois's? >> you bring up a point. both of you being lawyers, in political corruption, it is follow the money. here, it will be follow the access and the audit logs. if it was once or twice but when it is six, that defies probability. there will be a paper trail of somebody accessing systems and deleting things. without the hard drives, the only thing you have left is the paper trail. >> very interesting, guys.

>> that's what they should be investigating. >> thank you, both. after all these bombshells, how do you think this story is playing out on the media outlets across this country? we have some eye-opening answers next. foot and asked for less. because what we all really want... ...is more. there's a reason it's called an "all you can eat" buffet. and not a "have just a little buffet". that's the idea behind the more everything plan. it's more of everything you want. for less. plus, get the droid maxx by motorola for 0 down. get more with our best plans on the best network. for best results, use verizon. dad: he's our broker. he helps? look after all our money. kid: do you pay him? dad: of course. kid: how much? dad: i don't know exactly. kid: what if you're not happy? does he have to pay you back? dad: nope. kid: why not?

we've seen bombshell after bombshell in the irs targeting scandal. where is the media coverage in all of this? brent bezel is president of the media research center. how are they doing? >> the coverup of the cover up continues. we have been reporting on the lack of reporting. it is in full throttle. >> i couple of big items. i apologize for interrupting you. the first big piece of news was in this report on friday. the irs tried to bury it in this 27-page report. they revealed they were missing

two years of lois lerner's e-mails and other documents. what kind of coverage did that get? >> let's put this in perspective. absolutely nobody believes that story. everybody believes there is something very bad that went on there. how do they cover it? cbs morning gave it a story. cbs evening news, no coverage. abc morning, no coverage. abc evening news, no coverage. nbc today, no coverage, "nbc nightly news," no coverage. >> did they get to it today? friday, they buried it. by monday, it was everywhere. >> they didn't get it to this week. you learned yesterday that the hard drives have disappeared as well. >> now, no more hard drives and they have been wiped clean. >> the level of disbelief has now been doubled or quadrupled. what's the coverage? we looked this morning. tonight, nothing. this is a cover-up.

at what point will the news media decide that this is news. when they have covered it, megan, i listened to your last two guests. they are giving such great insight and analysis but what they are telling you opens up a whole pandora's box of investigative possibilities and consider this, megyn, i don't know of any network, besides fox, that has done five seconds of investigation into this or with the exception of benghazi, any other clinton scandal. they are not even trying to do the stories on this. >> it may be that it is as they say and they are just victim of some very bad i.t. issues at the irs but any journalist would want to push a little to test these claims. >> of course. a journalist could go in there

just as wide-eyed as possible, completely objective in his or her perspective simply wanting to drill down to the truth. if the truth sets them free where they are innocent, that's a wonderful story for the network. if the truth is that they are break laws and this is increasingly by everybody's analysis, a lawless administration going on here, that's it. if that's the truth, then a journalist's job is to get to the bottom of that. that's what their job is. when they are involved in the cover-up, what it tells me is that, look at the news today, that showed that the confidence in these networks is at an all-time low. 18%. all-time low. this, megyn, is why. >> is it true that "nbc nightly" did not cover their own polls. >> when it is a poll that is

negative, they don't cover it. why in the heck did they pay for it. >> we covered it. thanks for that. "wall street journal" on nbc news. all right, brent, thank you. >> thank u, megyn. texas has decided they have had enough with illegal immigrants crossing the border. how they are tr
