there is an open border movement in the country that has some influence on full circles the obama administration has not a clue about what to do on the southern border. last week announcing it will speed up deportations. the answer is securing borders once and for all. talking points has been saying that but there is no way president obama is going to do that. so finally, iraq disaster, and it is. 4500 americans, dead, trying to
8:05 pm
deliver freedom to the iraqi people. again, and worse, why did the president not engage earlier? >> there are people in the military advocating let's keep 10,000 troops there as an insurance policy. we know. we all live on whether that solved a problem, we don't know but experts, generals are saying they're almost on their knees, keep some troops here. and we left 0. >> no question, we're now paying the price for leaving 0 american military behind in iraq. according to a new cbs poll,
8:06 pm
most americans don't care. # when asked if violence in iraq will cause a threat of terrorism against usa to increase, 44% yes, 50% brief the threat will stay the same. for his part, the president doesn't seem overly concerned. >> this group is so extreme it's been disavowed by become too violent. how urgent of a threat? >> it's fair to say that their extreme ideology poses a medium long term threat. it's important to recognize it's just one of a number of organizations that we have to stay focused on. al qaeda and is staying focused on that. >> staying focused means
8:07 pm
watching the slaughter. the president asked by the iraqis to bomb the terrorist army months ago the president refused most americans april pathetic about iraq, it's easy not to do anything. here is something interesting. the left wing press calling invasion of iraq by terrorists a militant sunni problem, stay with me, here. look at this magazine cover. "the economist ". it clearly says the isis army is a terrorist concern." and the article says one day, if they have their way, isis fighters will also target europe and america. that is reminiscent osama bin
8:08 pm
laden in afghanistan. >> the economist is printed in britain. they, the liberal media here, do not want to portray the iraqi story as a terrorist action because that might turn public opinion in favor of doing something there. so the media reports it's a sunni-shia deal, knowing americans don't care about the sunni-shia. once again, the media tries to obscure the truth. with mr. obama staying focused by not being pro active, american power is receding. we'll talk with charles krauthammer about that, later. usa seen as evil by folks around the world, all talks no action. heavy odds are that we're in for it. terrorism is rising all over the world bad guys know western powers are reluctant to move against them,
8:09 pm
nobody is calling for ba tallins of american troops in iraq. that would be foolish. when you can strike dangerous terrorist armies from the air, you do so. especially when asked by a government that you installed at great cost in american blood. simply amazing president obama continues, this evening, to sit it out. and that is a memo. next on the run down, reaction from mary catherine. and later, charles crathammer on the great american retreat of 2014 the factor is coming right back. nobody told us to expect it... intercourse that's painful due to menopausal changes. the problem isn't likely to go away... ...on its own. so it's time we do something about it. and there's help. premarin vaginal cream. a prescription that does what no over-the-counter product
8:10 pm

8:13 pm
on everything you purchase, every day. don't settle for anything less. i'll keep asking. what's in your wallet? in the intackets segment tonight. the lead story the irs and border and iraq. juan, don't be a left wing loon tonight, okay? now, i just went through methodically and everything i said was absolutely true; is that right? >> is that right? all in fact and all can be backed up. so, what kind of responsibility, juan williams, does president obama bear for this iraqi mess right now? what kind of responsibility? >> well, i'm not sure, in fact, i was concerned in your memo you say, and i had not heard any republican say we should have boots on the
8:14 pm
ground, but i thought bill o'reilly is getting pretty close there. >> no, it's all about air power. and i made it quite clear that that would be insane to put boots on the ground. it's air power. >> again, with regard to air power, you can't just indiscriminately start using air power and make it the air force, al maliki and the iranians, i don't think the iranians are our friends, and don't forget, our bombing of those terrorists right now would also help bashir al assad the syrian leader, again, not a friend to us. so we have got to use our military powers strategically. >> juan, i don't think you understand geography or history. the al qaeda army, the isis army, okay, is fighting against assad, that's true in syria, that's true. but, we want assad out, okay? >> yes. >> so if they cut his head off, that's fine with us. but we don't want to support. >> geography. >> a terrorist group like them. >> we're not supporting anybody. we are protecting ourself. we are protecting the homeland as the economists
8:15 pm
made quite clear, okay? number two, they moved 11,000 men and vehicles and ammunition and whatever else you want from syria into northern iraq. all right? a distance of hundreds of miles in desert, juan, no trees, no camouflage no, mountains, nothing. you are tell me that the united states did not know that movement was happening with all of our satellite technology? all of our cia people on the ground in baghdad and in other parts of iraq? with the kurds? you are telling me they didn't know it? everybody knows it. they knew it. >> i think they did know it, bill and again -- >> -- as soon as they saw it, whack, whack. and it didn't happen. >> okay, juan, that's the answer. you don't know. mary katharine, go. >> here's the thing. juan. >> no, i want mary katharine to weigh in. >> here's the thick. on all three of the scandals you brought up and i would add the v.a. as well. the fact is that the president often president's passive voice. is he not as you said being president proactive as it comes to these really sticky
8:16 pm
issues. on iraq specifically, talking today, doing some interviews this morning she asked look, you said al qaeda was disseminated and you said it was a stable situation in iraq well it was. sometimes stable things become unstable. there is was no recognition of his role in that or our role in that. >> there were enough newspaper reports coming out of there but b. all this falling apart. and then you have president obama looking around going what happened there. >> yes. >> proactive in this world you have got to anticipate that bad things are going to happen. let's go to the border, juan. okay. so you have now, we know the border is not secure. we were told it was. i actually bought that like an idiot. i admit it you take your shots at me, everybody, when the border patrol people were telling me oh, yeah, it's much better border, i believed it? >> i think that's true. >> it's a siv. >> no, it's not. >> taking people over on jet skis, juan. that's how they are taking people over jet skis. >> you can take an airplane, bill. don't buy into that. >> all i'm doing is looking at the numbers, juan,
8:17 pm
hundreds of thousands of people are crossing over illegally. that's not a secure border. >> it's a net negative right now. again, can you say it's it the economy, whatever, but it's a net negative. now, these children coming over, i have got to tell you, i'm with kirsten powers. i think those children are just like refugees that came from the irish famine. came from jews being persecuted from germany. they are escaping war and political instability. they are the heart of america as we know it. >> we can't take everybody in the world. the country is bankrupt, juan. $17 trillion debt. >> oh, i didn't hear you say that all that money that went over to iraq, you want to send more now, i think, right? >>. no i just want to drop some bombs on them so we don't have to spend more money down the road when a big office build something hit in a major american city. go ahead, mary katharine, go. >> a couple things, look. with the situation on the border, many of those who have come across is been interviewed. people have been is serving find out why they came. it was not just about strife
8:18 pm
at home it was partly about the fact that they thought they would be able to stay that people were selling that promise to them. here is what i am concerned about. because i'm concerned about is having humane reaction to a a humanitarian crisis. that our government is clearly not able to handle on the border. here's my issue. the way that you deal with these children and the way, if they do indeed get to stay, in america, indefinitely, how do you end up not with the exact same humanitarian crisis in a month? that's my question. because you actually perpetuate the situation. if do you that instead of. >> here going to report on later on this week. and that is by accepting all of the people that are coming here, which is probably what's going to happen about 75, 80 members will stay. you create an underclass, an underclass of people. it's going to take a generation for them to be able to compete because this is a very complex marketplace. we can't even support our own people as laura ingraham has pointed out. we can't even have jobs for the wages are declining. so you are taking people with no skills, don't know
8:19 pm
the language, and you are creating an enormous underclass. and that's what you are doing. but look i understand the humane argument, juan. >> those kids are going to be american greats. they are going to come up and surprise you and say i don't know how those kids got here. they got here in a cuba, kids germany and become einstein, come on. >> some of them will. but there will be a big underclass. >> mary katharine, juan, thank you. we would like to you vote in our bill o'reilly.com poll. should the u.s.a. bomb the terrorist army which is attacking iraq or should we stay out of it. all right. please vote. we will give you the results tomorrow. directly ahead much the chaotic border does the democratic party really want to solve the problem or are they befting? later, krauthammer on president obama and the great american retreat. those reports after these messages. fighting constipation by eating healthier, drinking plenty of water, but still not getting relief? try dulcolax laxative tablets.

8:23 pm
does not want to secure the southern border because new immigrants especially latinos tend to vote democratic, the party of entitlement. president obama received 71% of the latino vote last time around just opposed to 27% from mitt romney. joining us from washington fox news senior analyst brit hume. i have never heard an elected democrat. elected democrat want to militarize the border. i have rarely heard an elected democrat support tough measures to keep illegal aliens out. is it by design? >> well, it certainly -- i think it's a case of their divisions fitting nicely with their politics it is clearly to the political advantage of democrats to be friendly to immigrants of all kinds coming across the american border. and to be seen by them as being that way because that means that they do better and better with the latino vote which is growing all
8:24 pm
the time. i think most of these politicians would be naturally in favor of that attitude anyway but it also benefits them politically. so it works two ways for them. >> okay. but there is a strain of thought in this country that the democratic party actively wants chaos on the border. actively wants millions of people to come here. certainly george soros is the best example of that with the open society, open border, let everybody in. you just heard juan williams, kirsten powers, any child -- >> -- wait a minute, wait a minute, bill, the situation with children is a different matter. >> all right. define that for me. >> i will explain. the situation with immigrant children who are not coming from mexico or canada is as a legal matter is different from adults. immigrant children who arrive from central america which is nearly where all of these unaccompanied immigrant minors are coming from now are under a special category of the law they are
8:25 pm
subject to removal proceedings. they simply can't be turned away at the border. the thing you have to remember about these kids and these people that are crossing now is they are not trying to sneak into the country. they walk right up and they want to be caught. they want to be apprehended because, under the law, after three days in the hands of our border people, they are turned over to the office of refugee resettlement and the department of hhs and they are then, we have to take care of them. >> under our law. >> the law the way it's written now actually -- it actually supports the proposition, the law supports the proposition that these kids have a good chance of getting in here and there is also a special category for immigrant children, especially juvenile visas they can get allow them to stay. >> of course. that's the magnet. the magnet isn't some rumor really it's the truth actual law, get you there. paid by the uncle or the father or the mother. then they are here then eventually their parents
8:26 pm
will be here. look, here's the deal. you could militarize that border and you could secure that border bill suppose you militarize the border. >> there would be a wall and barrier. >> there in other words, what you would do is have a giant wall across our entire southern border to stop the children from coming. >> to stop everybody from coming. >> i understand that. >> i would. >> that's the o'reilly plan. >> be a -- i would secure that border so you couldn't get a jet ski and drive up and walk. in yes, i would. am i mean guy for doing that? >> well, if you walk up to an immigration check point, in mexico, and turn yourself in, you would change the law so that these people simply would be turned back into mexico? >> absolutely he would. >> well, the point about that is that the immigration proposals, that as i understand them, that are before the congress right now, won't change that.
8:27 pm
>> no, i don't think there is a democrat in the country that would vote for it because it would be inhuman. your alternative is what you have now which is mass chaos. texas and arizona can't handle it all right. so now they have to send the kids -- and the kids are the victims. as i said, you are creating an underclass, all right? and, yeah, some of them will break out but most won't. >> this is a cruel way to look at it, bill. i would seriously doubt with these particular kids coming as far as they have and facing the difficulties that they have that they are going to end up being the underclass. these are probably the most abled kids that are reaching our borders. >> but there is no language skills. they are going to have to go into the public school system already overburrenned. there aren't a lot of good jobs for working americans, the per capita media -- the per capita income is going down. this is not a great time to assimilate millions of refugees into america. and you know it. >> well, the numbers we are talking about of these immigrant children do not number in the millions. >> but they will. >> i don't think so.
8:28 pm
>> word is out now. >> look, how many -- do you really think millions of people are going to make it through mexico? >> you are damn well right. that thing is going to crank up big time down there. >> i seriously doubt it? >> we will see. >> who knows. >> brit hume, everybody. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. watters world goes into obama territory to find out if some of the folks are standing by their man. then krauthammer on the great american retreat. all over the world. we hope you stay tuned to those reports. (woman) the constipation and belly pain feel like a knot. how can i ease this pain? (man) when i can't go, it's like bricks piling up. i wish i could find some relief. (announcer) ask your doctor about linzess-- a once-daily capsule for adults with ibs with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation. linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements.
8:29 pm

8:33 pm
>> what would you give him? >> at this point i would give him maybe a 6. >> kind of harsh. >> job is not getting done. >> 10. >> why do you say that? >> the world is still going on. >> i don't even know what that means. >> no one know what is it means. but it's provocative. >> economy in america. has president obama done a good job there? >> >> i really don't care. >> for someone of my age, he has done a the love positive things regarding helping students pay off loans. >> has obama reduced your loan yet. >> not yet. >> economically, do you think the economy is good right now. >> i think the economy is kind of strange. >> strange? >> i met obama. i sent him a drink he. >> you did. >> i turned it down. months later i saw he has having a beer summit. what's that about? >> maybe he thought you were going to slip him a mickey. >> i'm not a fan of

[crickets chirping] >> i weep for the future. the president has been confronted by a lot of scandal. does that bother you? >> no. i ruled the world. >> what are you talking about? >> i think fox news makes up a lot of the scandals. >> which scandals has fox created? >> ah, i don't -- >> do you think that bergdahl swap with the taliban was a good idea? >> no idea what you just said. >> kind of a crisis right now in texas and arizona because all these illegal alien kids are flooding the zone. >> well, i don't live down there, so -- [ laughter ] >> that's compassionate.

smoking with chantix. for 33 years i chose to keep smoking... ...because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping
8:40 pm
and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly in the personal story segment tonight. is america in retreat? many say yes. including me, your humble correspondent. all over the world the power of the u.s.a. seems to be in tee klein. our enemies have certainly been emboldened this has happened before in our history. the question is how bad is it now. joining us from washington charles krauthammer author of the book things that matter. so charles, how bad is it? >> well, temporarily it is very bad. but, there is a big difference between decline as a condition and decline as a choice.
8:41 pm
what we have with obama is a president choosing decline this is very much unlike how many people talk about decline, as a condition, as a result of something wrong with america. britain after the second world war had declined as a condition. exhausted, broke, parts of it were leveled. lost of generation of two men in world wars. america is in precisely the opposite condition. strong economy innovative people. stumbled across one the great energy bananzas in history. natural gas in oil. we are the saudi arain afternorth america. parts of the world of the we are in a position to dominate again. but we have a president who doesn't believe in american exceptionism. american greatness. and he has chosen retreat to the middle east to not lift a finger places like
8:42 pm
ukraine, basically to make us one nation among others and this is a choice it, can be reversed. >> a couple things. >> that, i think is the challenge america maces, we are doing this segment tomorrow on the factor, a lot of the conservative radio voices in america said exactly what you said in the beginning, in the very beginning. of the president's tenure. and they said, you know, this guy he wants america to decline in power. is he not going to promote our best interests. this was on right wing talk radio. and many people, including me, were septic call of that approach. okay? skeptical. tomorrow we are going to say look, these guys may have been right from day one. now, you are stating, without a shred of doubt, that that is what the president wants to do. if he were sitting in my chair here, he would vehemently deny that
8:43 pm
charles. he would say that's not true, i want america to be the strongest, most prosperous nation on earth. you know he would say that look i didn't come up with this yesterday when isis came across the border. he wrote a cover piece in the "weekly standard" called decline is a choice. where on the basis of the president's speeches of the apology tour of the way he went around talking about america as a nation which had sinned deeply, i wrote this and said this i who believes that america ought to retreat as a matter of ideology and in part because he is a president who wants to see all our efforts domestic affairs to become a social democracy like europe. when europe had to make that choice after the second world war it, gave up greatness abroad it gave up its empires it gave up its military so it could create a a welfare state. >> you are not disputing the fact that the president, if he were here, would say charles krauthammer, you are
8:44 pm
full of bologna, i don't want america in decline. i don't want -- i disagree with everything you said. he would say that i'm not saying that the president wants america to be a country that has injured itself. i think he would rationalize it and he would say no, the way to strengthen america is to retreat, to concentrate on what's happening at home. but, i think he is very comfortable with the the fact that america is not exceptional when he was asked that question in the first tour he made abroad about american exceptionism, he said oh, yes, i believe in american exceptionism the way the greeks believe in greeks exceptionism and british believe in british exceptionism. that means if nobody is exceptional nobody is a sense obama feels and i wrote this at the time in 2009. incidentally, it's the last chapter in my book.
8:45 pm
where he says it is very clear that he believes that america in some way, perhaps does not have does not have the moral right to be the leader of the world, i think he feels that the sins that we have created in the past the injuries that we have inflicted on others, the iraqis, i think he would list, among others, does not entitle us to the kind of hegemonic position, dominant position that we had at the end of the cold war. >> all right, charles krauthammer everybody as always. up next the irs scandal being cross-examined tonight in washington. we have a live report moments away.
