5:00 pm
we have got israel. there is so much. also, set your dvv -- dvr so you don't miss "on the record" ever. good night from washington. >> the o'reilly factor is on. tonight. >> on behalf of the correspondence association i want to launch a complaint about the apollo 11 event today. >> president banned the press from covering anniversary of the man on the moon. >> why? >> we should i'm not sure where the clear cut american interest is. >> senator rand paul talking about the isis terror army on the march in the middle east. will mr. paul's isolationist view hurt his quest for the presidency? laura ingraham on that? also ahead tonight, should president obama be impeached? a new poll asks the folks. >> caution, you are about to
5:01 pm
enter the no spin zone, the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. president obama and the folks. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. as i mentioned last week, some are calling for the president to be impeached. so i asked a fox news polling people, scientific poll, to form a question about impeachment, results came in last night. 36% favor impeaching barack obama, 61% do not. now, the reason the majority of americans reject impeachment spectacle because they know it hurts the country. no support that drastic legal action he would never be convicted. when president clinton got into trouble with monica lewenski the u.s.a. poll 45% approval and 53%
5:02 pm
'disapprove. impeach isn't a last resort mechanism. even though the president is having trouble most believe it's a overreaction that would damage the country. there is no question the president is under pressure. on every issue the folks disapprove 6 his performance. immigration, 5% disapprove. 48% approve. finally on how the president is handling the border crisis involving children approve just 31%. disapprove 56. so you can see barack obama has lost the folks, at least americans who evaluate things in a fair way. there will always be zealots on both sides to vote their ideology or skin color or whatever. talking points believes president obama's current problems are being exacerbated, word of the day exacerbated by his demeanor. as we have been reporting,
5:03 pm
he seems disengaged, apathetic even arrogant at times. when he speaks about the border or middle east or putin, me an ders, doesn't seem authoritative. the perception even in some democratic precincts is that president obama has lost his ability to deal with things effectively. interesting question on the fox news poll was. this does barack obama even want to be president anymore? 52% say yes, but 41% of americans thinks he has had enough. and that may be true. from the president's point of view he believes he is being treated unfairly by the republican house. and that the media, which once adored him is not giving him enough support these days. the president is not the kind of guy who rallies the troops. is he an academic, a consensus seeker. well, there is consensus now. majority of americans believe president obama is failing in his job. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight.
5:04 pm
reaction. with us here in new york city, one of the co-host of the five andrea tantaros. from washington democrat james carville, what do you attribute the president's low poll numbers across the board too? why do you think that's happening? >> first of all, they are stable and they have been around these numbers for quite a while. there is a lot of things that are going on in the world. people's incomes have not gone up like they like it. so he is -- according to the aggregate he is about 43.6, which is not very good but it's not collapsing and unstable. >> the issue on every single issue he is getting failing grades. i mean -- what i'm trying to get at here is not technical garbage. >> i understand. all right. >> the perception is he is failing to solve the problems. now,. >> right. >> is that perception fair in your opinion? >> well, i think the economy can be the best year for private job creation in this century. lowest unemployment claim, it takes a while for these
5:05 pm
things to get in the bloodstream. >> median income is still falling. >> his approval is about 43.5. approval 52. more people disapprove of it it that's not unusual at this point. >> you are dodging the question, do you think it's fair in every area that americans are saying he is not cutting it? do you think it's fair? >> again, right, do you know what? whether it's fair or not, that's public opinion, i further think that honestly, i don't really think he much cares what we think. >> i agree with you on that. >> i don't think he much cares about his poll numbers. i really don't. >> he doesn't seem to -- he is fundraising again this week. >> he doesn't -- i think he thinks he is done and is doing a good job. and history will record him and he is doing it by consensus. >> all right. i agree with carville he doesn't care. do you think he cares? >> i don't think. i think that's the reason why the poll numbers are so low. because people don't believe that he cares. is he not even pretending like he cares, bill.
5:06 pm
at least bill clinton tried to feel people's pain. president obama doesn't care. he makes no effort. and the more republicans ramp up the criticism, the more passive aggressive he gets. you want me to go to the border? i'm deliberately not going to go. he doesn't care. >> do you think is he a passive aggressive? >> i think is he is very passive aggressive in the way he handles things. the more people ask him to do things, the less he wants to do them. and he recoils. i think, yes, this is all about keeping the senate for him. that's why he is fundraising. he could care less about anything else. he would do better though, believe it or not, losing the senate, in my opinion. and having that republican congress to run against like clinton did, because then he really could do what he likes, that's demonize the right and fund raise for his library and then he really doesn't have to talk about the scandal. >> in the meantime, we are really in dangerous territory here in a number of different areas, particularly in iran, i mean, that is an off othe chart dangerous situation. the isis army. they are making great gains, the president hasn't hit them once.
5:07 pm
it seems to me that, okay, we are discussing politics now. let's discuss real life. is he not solving the problems, carville. he is just not. >> let me be clear about something. i think he cares about his job. i just think he doesn't care what we think. >>. no all right, i'm not disagreeing with you on that. >> i know. okay. >> i think one of the happiest days of barack obama's life will be when he leaves. i don't think he wants to hold on to this job. >> honestly, the modern politician in some ways that he reminds me most of and this is kind of odd is dick cheney. i don't think dick cheney really cared what people thought about him. to some extent i think that the president is increasingly like that. he doesn't much like politics. and he is pretty much decided that he is going to do what he wants to do. >> when you are walking away from solving these problems that are massive and getting worse. >> right. i don't think in his mind, i don't think is he walking away at all. and i think -- i think that he is working hard on these problems. you know, again, the middle
5:08 pm
east problem has been trouble in gaza since 5,000 years or something like that. >> you are going to hear in a moment coming after you that the president was warned about this isis army. did absolutely nothing. and now it's a crucial situation. all right, let me get to andrea for the last word here. >> go ahead. >> now, the reason i think that the poll numbers for him aren't even lower because they kind of bottom out about 40%. all right? he still holds that 40% approval. because you have a coalition of people, african-americans, for example, they are still with him, all right? >> sure. >> liberal americans. they are still with him. >> um-huh. >> democrats, some of them he has lost. but the party is worried. so that coalition keeps him at 40. >> um-huh. >> all the independents are gone. and, you know, the folks who don't pay attention that much, they are gone, too. >> in the last poll we looked at, every demographic that he won, independents, hispanics, women, he has lost significant ground with and that's really troubling. i would disagree with james. james said that the president -- he doesn't really care about politics.
5:09 pm
i think the only thing he cares about bill with politics. he doesn't care about policy and problems. he doesn't know what to do. his whole staff is political. he put jen psaki at the state department: i do think he likes his job. he likes the perks. remember when he was asked what is the best part? it's air force one. he likes being president. he doesn't like the hard stuff about being president. >> don't you think when he leaves the white house that he is going to be relieved and then looking at making 30 or 40 million a year in speaking and writing. i think he is going to skip out of there, andrea. he is going to go down the yellow bring road, here i go. i'm out of here. >> do a couple cart wheels. >> that's what i think is going to happen. >> is he going to milk every perk until the very end. >> i think things are going to get worse, i hate to say that. >> i really do. >> this iran thing is really troubling. carville, thank you, andrea,. >> you bet. >> hesitant to attack the isis army as mentioned.
5:10 pm
that's causing destruction throughout the middle east. why is the president hesitant. later republican senator rand paul doesn't want to go after isis either. laura ingraham will analyze that moments away. nexium®,is now available, without a prescription for frequent heartburn. get complete protection. because the best moments in life aren't experienced from the sidelines.

5:12 pm
5:13 pm
washington beat segment tonight. troubling situation about terrorists. yesterday, state department big shot testified that the isis army, also known as isil, is now a huge threat. ice sill is no longer simply a terrorist organization. it is now a full blown army seeking to establish a self-governing state through tigris and you uphrates valley. >> the u.s. did nothing to stop them gaining power. >> we did see this coming. that makes it even more troubling that the administration didn't do
5:14 pm
what was mess to prevent isis from taking over such a large swath of iraq. >> joining us now from washington, ace correspondents carl cameron and james rosen. is that a fair assessment from the congress from california that they knew about it and they didn't care no. >> no, i wouldn't say they didn't care they did have indications that something like this was going to happen. remember that isis overtook fallujah and ramadi in january. and, in fact, i sat down with secretary kerry in iraq a month ago and i asked him look, you saw fallujah fall, you saw ramadi fall. that was in january. what did you do to prevent mosul from falling in june it doesn't look like very much. the secretary said he can provide a detailed warning that the obama administration provided in that time frame. he did not provide it. look, the question is, why is the administration not
5:15 pm
taking shots at isis or firing any shots at isis as you just mentioned in the previous segment? the answer is for a number of reasons. overriding amongst which is the commander and chief who harbor as real revulsion toward the military power as we discussed previously here on the factor. even if that were not the case, mr. obama came to office pledging to end the iraq war and having kept that pledge he is loathe to take any action that would appear to be renegativing on it especially in a midterm year. >> looking foolish and everybody is now saying look, we have got another problem here. we have got a terror army. that has said they are going it strike jordan and other countries in the united states. and the president sits there. he has got a drone arsenal. he has air force power in the area. and he didn't do anything when they were building in syria to stop that and he is not doing anything now. he sent a few advisors into iraq he could hit them from the air. he could hit those caravans and refuses to do so. you think it's a revulsion to use military power.
5:16 pm
he just doesn't want to do it. >> since mosul fell in fairness. he has deployed about '300 military advisors there and ramped up our intelligence and surveillance and so forth. one interesting point from yesterday's house foreign affairs committee hearing, bill, from which you played those sound bites was that the degree to which even democrats, such as the panel's ranking member, congressman elliott angle of new york faulted the obama administration for not having done enough to help the so-called vetted moderate opposition in syria over a year ago before jihadists there reached their present level of influence and spread like isis to iraq. and just let me quote elliott ingle for you. we waited so long said the democrat from new york that now isis is far more difficult to stop. >> there is no doubt about it that if you -- -- >> -- criticism. >> if you let this stuff fester and grow, they become a problem. all right, now, cammeron, john mccain, you know, very, very anti-obama. says the president has brought a lot of the
5:17 pm
congressional problems that he cites, the president cites among himself. roll the tape. >> when is the last time he called leaders of both parties together at the white house say for a dinner, a social event, you know, that reagan was best at, clinton did? how poisonous is the atmosphere. >> as poisonous as everybody is talking about. house republicans suing the president. republicans who think that the president should be impeached. the president forced the healthcare law, the affordable care act through the house and senate without allowing republicans to get any kind of amendment to it. there has been acrimony since the first term there is no discussion between either side. it's gotten to the point now where both sides are utterly wedded to servicing their political bases. president obama is working on his legacy. he can't get anything through you congress so is he using executive orders and his pen and his phone as
5:18 pm
he said to do things unilaterally that further urks the republicans. the democrats see the republicans in the house to unwilling to compromise at all. in terms of house races the congressional jerry man dering very red or very blue makes the republicans to go further to the right and democrats further to the left. centrist democrats are really worried about the president's agenda. as you showed in those polls, bill. the president is incredibly un. larr. both the president and the congress have hit record lows even bill clinton when he was impeached. >> there is a feeling and i think it's an accurate feeling on the part of the folks that he is not going to get anything done. we should for the record, president obama so far has signed 184 executive orders. in his 8 years. george w. bush signed 291. bill clinton 364. boy, that's a lot. and bush the elder, 66. barack obama has not overused the executive order thing right now as it stands. is that accurate? >> well, that is
5:19 pm
statistically accurate. it also depends on the topics and the substance. >> absolutely. >> another point very important here. that is that the senate democrats with the president's approval changed the rules for judicial nominees. changed the rules for nominees in general. as a consequence of that, there is a tremendous amount of acrimony on both sides. >> yeah, there is no doubt. >> in this election year it's poison. >> gentlemen, thank you. laura ingraham analyze senator rand paul wants to be president. he doesn't want to get involved overseas. later bernie goldberg banning the press from a tribute honoring the apollo 11 astronauts. why? the factor is coming right back. huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. yeah, everybody knows that. well, did you know that playing cards with kenny rogers gets old pretty fast? ♪ you got to know when to hold'em. ♪ ♪ know when to fold 'em. ♪ know when to walk away. ♪ know when to run.
5:20 pm
♪ you never count your money, ♪ when you're sitting at the ta...♪ what? you get it? i get the gist, yeah. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. you've reached the age where you know how things work. this is the age of knowing what needs to be done. so why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have.

5:23 pm
week in review from the ingraham angle tonight it. senator rand paul taking a look at the run in 2016. charismatic guy departs from many because he wants to stay out of foreign quarrels. that's a libertarian point of view. we have tried to get senator paul on the factor he has declined despite appearing elsewhere. joining us from washington laura ingraham. so, do you think senator paul can run on an isolationist platform with all the troubles in the world? >> well, bill, what i think he is doing, right, is he is capturing what a lot of people are feeling out there after, you know, obviously the bush years and a sense that we didn't really win in iraq or iraq is now in chaotic terms, you can talk about who is responsible for that and obama, you know, didn't finish the job and all of that just the way the american people feel, he is probably closer and is he closer in every poll with the way they feel about getting involved militarily in syria and ukraine. in iraq than i think john
5:24 pm
mccain or lindsey graham are. he is a lot closer to them. >> that's starting to change now with the growing danger of the isis army we saw there iran flimflamming everybody over nukes. >> i don't think so i don't think it is. >> i think it's starting to change. >> i think if the puck prosecutes run in 2016 on the george bush kind of approach to foreign policy, we are going to have a much more muscular foreign policy that people read as a lot more wars, military intervention. we are going to spend a lot more money overseas. i think rand paul is banking on someone like a jeb bush doing that. because i think he believes and he is probably right that that spells real trouble for the g.o.p. >> a guy like putin you don't think americans want putin to be kind of handled better? >> i think they do. i think they want a strong america. but i think they want an independent america. an american that is independent of some of these struggles enough so that we
5:25 pm
can rebuild at home while we rebuild at home we will be much better suited if we have a strong economy or vibrant middle class. we will be much better at confronting all of these crises like we have to. as far as democratizing the middle east. >> nobody is going to run on that. they are going to run. perry, governor of texas already staked it out. he already said. look, we are going to rebuild the military. we are going to deal with terror by our strength far and most most dangerous situation is iran. grand ayatollah says we have got to destroy israel. they are building a nuke. there he is this guy is off the chart. everybody knows, everybody pays attention knows that iran really the biggest threat. here is rand paul on iran, go. >> do you think the united states could live with a nuclear armed iran? >> i think it's a mistake for them to get nuclear weapons and we should do
5:26 pm
everything possible. >> clearly everybody agrees with that if they cross the threshold, is it something that can live wand contain it? >> i think it's not a good idea to a announce that in advance. should i announce to iran we don't want you to but we will live with it no, that's a dumb idea to say that you are going to live with it however, the opposite a dumb idea, too. >> all right. so you can't pin him down. is he not going to say obama said we are not going to allow it. does anyone believe that. >> no one believes that. >> what's happening also, unlike the isis, he made the point the other night look, we are funding the syrian revolutionary front that okayously supporting isis. we are funding them, giving them help. they have crossover with isis. this is a tricky thing for republicans after bush. it's difficult. we have to lay out a very conservative foreign policy that's strong. if we start sounding like we
5:27 pm
are more concerned with the borders of iraq than we are with our own borders, i think that's going to be a hard sell to the middle class that always carries the burden. most of the burden on the wars. >> i think rand paul is going to be hurt by his foreign policy. i just do. and, by the way, i'm going to make a prediction here. because i pointed out that senator paul wouldn't come on the program -- >> -- he is going to come on. >> well, i bet you i get attacked. i bet you that happens. >> he has a great affection for you i understand. he will be on, don't worry. >> he is one of the few. >> he does. he has great affection. he wants chocolates and he wants some -- >> pampered? wants to be pampered? >> exactly. >> there is ms. laura, everybody, a brand new bill o'reilly.com poll for you. we are asking: what's the biggest threat to the u.s.a.? putin, iran or the jihadists? what's the biggest threat? please vote on bill o'reilly.com. plenty more ahead, factor moves along this evening. on bernie goldberg dissing the press over the apollo 11 astronauts.

5:40 pm
us, i'm bill o'reilly. in the weekdays with bernie segment tonight. the white house press corps outraged because the obama administration banned the press for an event celebrating the 45th anniversary of the apollo 11 moon landing. this is a big deal. america getting to the moon first 45 years ago, neil armstrong walking around. the entire country celebrating back then. why on earth wouldn't the president want press coverage? >> on behalf of the correspondence association, i just want to lodge a formal complaint about the apollo 11 event today. the presentation of that limits television coverage of that event. we believe that that is a classic definition of something that happened should have the broadest press coverage imaginable. >> joining us now from north carolina bernie goldberg has been investigating. so, this, to me, for the life of me, i can't figure this out. do you know why? >> well, i will give you a strong possibility. what if one of the astronauts goes up and says, mr. president, i think you made a big mistake by
5:41 pm
getting the manned space program? what if another astronaut says, mr. president, it's humiliating for americans to have to hitch a ride to the space station on a russian rocket. do you think the president needs the press around to hear any of that? >> but, wait, wait, wait, they could do that anyway the two guys involved aldrin and collins they could do that anyway. hold a press conference and say that. it's different if you are right there with a problem don't forget. this is the same barack obama who promised us that he would have the most open administration, the most transparent administration in american history. yeah, sure, but to my friends at home watching, this please do not believe that this is evidence or one more piece of evidence that the press is finally getting
5:42 pm
tough on barack obama. it is not true. the press is miffed because barack obama is treating them like children. telling them where they can go and where they can't go. when they show some interest in the irs scandal. when they show some interest in sergeant bergdahl who is off othe radar screen all together, then maybe i will reconsider my position. but not until then. >> okay. so you think that they were told they couldn't cover this and their egos were, or feelings were hurt. i still think it was a dumb thing. i can't imagine. aldrin is pretty feisty. aldrin is a feisty guy. so -- collins wouldn't do it. because maybe they were worried about aldrin saying you know what? we used to it be a great nation in space and now we are not. >> right, exactly. mr. president, please rethink it. embarrassing him. possible. angry about sources used
5:43 pm
by the -- >> they don't like these anonymous sources because they made the president look bad. if there was a story about anonymous sources that said barack obama is the greatest president sense george washington, they would have no problem with it it and, besides, the white house is filled with anonymous sources that blab to the press every single day of the week. so, know. is it ideal to have anonymous sources? no, it is not ideal. we would all prefer people to go "on the record." that doesn't always work. people are afraid of losing their jobs. it's not ideal, but to use a familiar expression, it is is what it is. >> okay. i would never say that because it's a cliche. >> i know, i apologize. >> we're not kicking any can down the road and we are are not going home at the end of the day. i need goldberg's advice. there is a bunch of books

factor tip of the day, soccer guys and wounded warriors in a moment. first, dave ul rick, san jose, california, as the father of two teenage girls i'm outraged that a planned parenthood nurse would talk about bondage and other practices with a 15-year-old. that adult would be in major trouble if it were my daughter. dr. james, denver, colorado.
5:56 pm
the girl got the information she asked about. that's the way medical information is given. it wasn't medical information, doctor, it was recreational in nature. and i bet you would not have engaged a 15-year-old girl or boy that way. as a planned parenthood nurse did. melissa, brighton, michigan, mr. o'reilly, what do you think the nurse should have told the girl? very little, melissa. planned parenthood is there to advise on reproductive matters, not alternative conduct. the nurse was way over the line in a professional form. sue thomas, bakersfield, california. i don't care about lyla rose's opinion on abortion. miss rose set up that sting. well, that's your right, sue. but ms. rose also has a right to give her opinion on abortion. jonathan cur, champagne, illinois, bill, watching you break down obamacare with austin was like watching the
