5:00 pm
huckabee starts in two minutes and first the latest on the croisis in iraq. the pentagon confirming four more air strikes against the isis targets. we showed you the video showed earlier air strikes taking out the isis artillery and trucks. and the president pledging to defend the citizens in iraq from the isis terrorist. and while we said that tarseted strikes would continue and saying how long the united states stays involved depends on the iraqi people.
5:01 pm
>> once the inclusive government is in place. i am confident that they will mobilize greater support from the friends and alloys. and ultimately only the iraqis can insure stability of iraq. >> >> there are thousands of refugees on the run from their lives. and many are christians. others are fleeing to churches and others the mountains. isis and the islamic state controls the largest christian town. 200,000 people have fled. >> and violence escalating in gaza. and they are killing members of
5:02 pm
hamas. and civilian deaths are reported in the fighting. there is doubts that a long- term agreement will be soon. israelis left yesterday. i willing back. huckabee starts right now. tonight on huckabee. crisis in iraq as radicals take more ground. andap unthinkable terror threat could cripple major cities. and we go inside of the war room with top military minds and from christian persecutions in iraq and israeli and hamas conflict. it is a huckabee exclusive. >> plus, a deadly epidemand i can fear and panic spreading worldwide. what is the truth. and the answers on ebola tonight. and the little rockers with a special guest james burton.
5:03 pm
5:05 pm
they are a pure form of it. i would like to suggest we cease and desist and stands with rhino. the rhino term suggest a arrogance. if i say someone who is an active participant in the gop is a rhino. i singly determine what is a legitimate republican. i declare that i am personally more powerful than all republicans in the country and i am the standard for party orthodoxy.
5:06 pm
we have a process. the republican national committee is made up of a state chair from each of the 50 states. they get elected from the state level from those who dully levelled. they are truly the glass roots of the party and check in the local level and give power through the representative electives and the only enitiy who can determine when a person is in good standing. >> for an individual to by pass that process and elevate itself to be part of the lord and master is the rankest of evidence and provide. it doesn't accurately describe the target. but the user is someone who doesn't understand that he or she is not elected or appointed
5:07 pm
to be the pope of the party. my advice is don't be a party pooper or pope. be a unselfish servant for a better american. (applause) >> and so president obama said the u.s. air strikes destroyed isis arms and equipment and bringing security to iraq would be a long- term project. they talked about religious minorities under threat of death. isis has taken control of key regions of syria and iraq. and president obama urged the people of iraq to take action. >> we continue to call on iraqis to come together and form an inclusive government that iraq needs right now. all iraqi communities are threatened by the barbaric
5:08 pm
terrorist and all communities need it unite to defend their country. the u.s. can't do it for them. >> here to update us on the growing threat. here is major scales and dan hampton and retired air force pilot. >> general, you were here in june and we looked at a map of the region. and briefly, what happen since you were here a few weeks ago. and isis and how they made changes to what we see in iraq. >> a lot of it happen and none of it is bad. we understand their strategy. they have the initiative and momentum in the region and their task is to turn a series of army enga
5:09 pm
engagements in a terrorist country. they made their first attack in lebanon. and the lebanese army threw them back. but the isis army is still there. and in addition in the city of rutga. they pushed their capture up to the iranian territory. they encircled baghdad and through fallujah and around the army of baghdad and working their way around the city to isolate the garrison there. but the greatest danger over the last few weeks is up here in the nineva h. and emptied mosul of the christian minorities and they fled to kurdish dan. and they captured the mosul dam.
5:10 pm
and more recently they have thrown the army of the kurds off mount sinjar and left 40,000 trapped and they moved all the way over to the outskirt of irbil to the city of carlot and they are only two mile from the center of irbill and tanks and mortars and weapons that they couldn't dream of having. >> and they circled the wagons and created the situation and moving the people up to the mount sin jar. >> one of the things the air forces giving is water and food. tell us how dangerous is it to get the humanitarian aid to them. >> governor, what they have done is smart. they are controlling the rivers. and without water that part of the world is nothing.
5:11 pm
in addition to that, because they have the dams they have the electric plants. they can starve baghdad and force a revolt which is part of the larger plan. and as far as the humanitarian mission. it is done with c130s and 17s and the air forces depend at logistics and splois. but the isis has captured who knows what from the iraqi army that they and those aircraft are not safe and hit with manned surface to air missiles. if that happens, what happens. does the president say we have lost an airport or engage us. what you are seeing is not an air campaign. it is all he can do at the moment short of a full-scale
5:12 pm
escalation that is beyond the scope of this. if someone goes down there. there is a rescue operation that occurs and other fighters around and they would make a mess out of the isis troops and you would have a dead america or dead crew. >> 40,000 stranded people who are holding on waiting for the calvary because we are it and the president made clear other than dropping food down nothinges is going to general scales and hampton will stay with us. we'll talk about what is truly helping on this map. >> i welcome your response. go to mikehuckabee.com. you can follow my regular messages on twitter and at the

5:16 pm
>> what i want to do is sort of set the stage for what we ought to be doing. there is a real crisis going on and general. you have been to the region many times as bofth you have. and if i were to bring you in to the oval office and say general, how do we protect people who are slaughtered, what do we do? >> in this resident you have two friends. and the best army in the region and kurdis stan. they have never wavered in the support of the united states. and they have fought for us since the first gulf war and they haven't gotten a bullet from the iraqis and they have
5:17 pm
ak- 47. abrams tank asks artillery and missiles and anti- aircraft missiles and more. let's send aid to the kurds. we sent them nothing. >> and what the iraqi government said have the almaliki government transfer. they didn't. >> and now these people are standing with the pants around their ankles. >> those guys can't fight and these guys want to take the offensive. it is no big deal to load missile ands fly them in irbil airport and let them fight for us. >> they are not asking us to fight the battles, or troops on, but asking to put arms and do their own fighting.
5:18 pm
in the air, colonel. and how do we get the air force engaged in a way to nuteralize isis. >> assuming it escalate. the general is right. secower irbil. >> why do you do that? >> there is a airport and good place to base out of and kurdis stan should split off and be kurdist an. if that occurs? >> recanturing mosul. and if they bro blow it up it wipes everything out. >> and naval air can go in and mop up the fragments and once they are splinter ared. they can do close air support and take them out. and hopefully the desert will kill them. >> we are not doing a air
5:19 pm
campaign. but we are doing air strikes. >> define the hitting and missing. >> and air campaign would imply a plan which we have not sewn out of the white house. what they are doing now. they are doing what they can. believe me, they have book that full of rules of engagement of what they can't do. i don't think the president is more interested in helping them than not having the americans get killed because it is it bad press. if that is going to last i don't know. the air force and naval air can take care but imploys an escalation. and tied to a ground campaign for specific goals. that is not something we will so. the kurds are good fighters and i know them. and they are not good at large
5:20 pm
unit operation and they are not a big force. what i don't so happening is a big ground movement even with all of the weapons, they are mountain fighters. >> they could defend their own territory. and it sounds to me like there is a clear way forward but what it requires is someone in the white house instead of taking vacation maybe listening to the military advisors. if you guys understand this. people in the pentagon understand it why are they not. >> it is driving them nuts. let's make a campaign out of this. and remember richard nixon saved the israel in 1973 with an 18 hour air lift. we have more planes now. why don't we put an air bridge from germany to the irishgs bill
5:21 pm
and flood the zone with high-tech weapons and let the soldiers kill the tanks and a pc's and push them back in the desert. this is it a 600 mile border. you don't do that with rifles. you need first-class equipment to stand up. >> i wish the president would listen to these guys. i know you will not listen to me. but mr. president save the lives of the people and do something right in america. listen to these. >> and christians and yazidis have been given a choice. leave the region or convert to the religion or do i. our activist will join us next. you don't want to miss this, next.
5:22 pm
5:23 pm
5:24 pm
that's why i always choose the fastest intern.r slow. the fastest printer. the fastest lunch. turkey club. the fastest pencil sharpener. the fastest elevator. the fastest speed dial. the fastest office plant. so why wouldn't i choose the fastest wifi? i would. switch to comcast business internet and get the fastest wifi included. comcast business.
5:25 pm
built for business. >> hundreds of yazidis women were captured by isis in iraq. the humanitarian mission is to stop the gen soyed. my next guest is now an american where she can speak out about the treatment of women in islamic societies. you recall when in the spring the university offered her an honorary groe degree and then resended. she is in the harvard kennedy school and founder of the a ha foundation and joins me now. i want to thank you for being
5:26 pm
here. >> you have been a heorric and clear voice of reality when it comes to the world of islam and a lot of americans see isis and hamas and the few of islam is not positive because of this. how does that different from the islam that you grew up with in somalia the islam was the islam of the masses. if one individual to represent it would be my grandmother. she prayed and was pious. and she minded her own business. in my grandmother's islam there was no islam or sharia. and there is a lot to comment on the beliefs. but what we are seeing is different than that. and it is woman like my mother
5:27 pm
and grandmother and mothers of all of the boys and men who are sacrificed to jihad wringing their hands in despair and we reject the islam of wahabi and hamas and isis. and extremist. but unfortunately that islam of my grandmother is not organized and not produced. it is saying at this point, they are pass and i have have nothing to say. >> it would be helpful if more people would speak out like do. but we don't hear the voices of islam that say the radicals are wrong and not representing us. why not? >> we hear two types of voices. one group say it is not my islam. and therefore, it is not islam. and we looks atrocities committed by boka ha ram and
5:28 pm
isis and all of these sgroups say it has nothing to do with us. denial is not policy or strategy or tactics. it is just to say no, it is not us. the other group who are our allies and friends. is saudi arabia and qatar. and we have these nations who have produced radical islam in the way that is taken to the consequence with hamas and isis and boca ha ram. and we are diplomatic friends and it is us really us americans who are not standing groups and stop talking about the violence extremism but talk about radical islam. >> if you could give the speech that they asked you not to so
5:29 pm
and speak to the foggy bottom diplomats in the state department, what would you say that we ought to do differently as a nation in dealing with islam and the radicals. >> we are dealing with an ideological war that we don't want to fight. and so today, please help out the yazidis and the christians. please do what is to do onap emergency and please get together and instead of addressing the various brands of radical islam. today boca haran or isis. can you have a combination of all of these brands. but ultimately what it winds up or boils down to, there is a movement that conflats politics with religion.
5:30 pm
and then declares a jihad holy war on everybody who don't believe the way they do. it is the muslims and christians and jews fwe don't believe the way they do from their perspective, we need to die. there is a decree of death. >> this is not just a threat to christians and jews, but a threat to every person on the earth who doesn't accept the radical version of it. when we come back, you will hear the perspective on the hamas and israeli conflict and a surprising view of who should get a nobel peace prize. when frustration and paperwork decrease. when grandparents get to live at home
5:31 pm
instead of in a home. so let's do it. let's simplify healthcare. let's close the gap between people and care. a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance
5:32 pm
of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.
5:34 pm
targets in response to hamas today. hamas claims that israeli bombs hit houses and mosque and warehouses and training sites, killing throw people. israeli military said hamas has fired 70 rockets. hamas said they are keeping the negotiators in cairo in case peace can be revived. >> and progress in oregon. the fire started tuesday and now 35 percent contained and 700 homes were threatened and only one destroyed. they have turned a corner and things are looking better. i am julie bandaras and now back to huckabee for headlines. go to fox news.com. we are back with author and activist a ya a n.
5:35 pm
you are vocal in your support for israel in the conflict. that so manies to be unusual. i don't hear many muslims speaking out on behalf of israel. >> i support israel primarily because it is not only democratic and free government in a region where there is a lack of that. but israel has a creed of life before death. and they are facing enemies that want to a nillite not only israel but the jews. and the enemies of israel believe in a creed of death. for them life is transitional. and so the life of their own children and the life of their own mother and wives and fellow civilians tdoesn't matter that much. they are looking forward to death so that after death something wonderful will happen. and people don't so the basic
5:36 pm
difference. it is so important to so this. if you don't see that, you don't understand the conflict. i vote for life. and so i vote for israel. (applause) >> it is remarkable to hear you say. that but that puts you in a dangerous place. do you fear for your life that there would be recrimination and speaking out so clearly? >> i am speaking out because i appreciate life. they want to take my life and they wanted that for past 12 or more years and i think that the under that threat is not specivity. they can silence us all by threatening us all. what we need to do is speak up for life and to take all of the necessary actions for life before death and not after death. we need to support israel. otherwise we are all in the position of israel from their
5:37 pm
perspective. >> there is a pressure on israel to negotiate with hamas. and i was stunned by former president carter. we should treat them like a state. they are a terrorist association. is there any value in negotiating with hamas. >> let's do what president carter treats them wants to do. states have conflict and how do you resolve. that you negotiate peace and you believe in a common ground. there is no common ground in a enemy that only believes in death and your elimination. and then you have a second option, we could have a co-existence of what israel is calling quiet for a long time. if the enemy is weak enough keep them contained. but that is not happening and so the sad option which is the
5:38 pm
least attractive of all options that israel is faced with. they have to pacify israel and who will benefit of a full pacification of israel or hamas? people who live in gadsa. the women and children who are used arizona human shields. they are driven in to hospital and schools and into places and from that rockets are launched. >> you suggested that there was a person deserving of a nobel peace proiz. who is that? >> prime minister benjamin netanyahu deserves it. (applause) he deserves the nobel peace prize because he is doing what is right for the cities of israel. and as you all know, in a democracy, when you are
5:39 pm
hunting for lekdz, you say you are going to do what is the best for those people who elect you. and we are seeing a leader who is under tremendous pressure from inside and from outside. and he is forced in a place where he has to take the options and none of them attractive and time after time, he does what he promises to do. >> you are a refreshing and wonderful clear voice of reason and sense. i hope that our audience will find out more about the foundation that she heads up and support. it theahafound anticipation.org. what a delight to have you here. >> everything you need to know about ebola and were afraid to ask. that's next. . they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing.

5:44 pm
always a pleasure to be with you. >> tell us about ebola and how do people get it and should we be scared to death tonight? >> let me start with the last part of the question. we should not be. we should rest peacefully and it is important that the nation is aware that there is a problem going on in western africa that is roaching epidemic porportions and this virus is transmitted by body fluids and urine and feses and medical professionals and people who live in the remote areas and burial practices by touching dead relatives can transmit it. >> when we think of ebola and medical workers coming back in the united states. there is criticism of they shouldn't be brought back here. they are americans and that is
5:45 pm
the right thing to do for them. is it a good idea medically and stand point of medical epidemic to bring them back to the emory university. nbecause of the procedures and policies, there is virtually no risk as long as we provide the care and the centers they are in, in emory and other centers in the united states stood up for this type of contingency. and as far as the moral and ethiccal and legal issues, clearly it was the right thing to do. we have two wonderful americans that served in a remote area of the world trying to bring american values to those folks and they get sick and it is best expression to bring them home and get the best care in the world. >> they were given a drug that
5:46 pm
was experimental and so manied to have an affect. but there is no known cure. and most people are afraid of being on a flight with someone with ebola. can they transmit it? >> people in the united states should not worry. you can be on a plane or ebola and as long as you are not exchanging body fluids you can't get the disease. we have a surveillance system that works even before ebola to keep our nation safe and watching migration patterns and to make sure disease is not brought in the country. the public is aware. and we are not at significant risk in the united states. >> that is comforting because i
5:47 pm
am on the airplanes a lot. and i rarely exchange bodily fluids with the people around me. thank you. and giving us a reassures prospect of the ebola croisis. thank you. >> and we are going to bring the house down with one of rock's greatest guitarist. james burton jams with the little rock ares when we come back.

5:52 pm
this year is your 75th birthday in august. and as part of that celebration, tell us about the james burton guitar festival that's happening in shreveport this month. >> we got a great celebration in shreveport, louisiana. we have great artists, we have priscilla presley. we have paul sheaffers coming. there's so many great entertainers. we have 20 artists. and i'm hoping to get you sometime. >> one of these days i'm going to be there. i love you and i think what you do to encourage music among kids is a fantastic thing as well. the mown dags is not only doing this event every year, but you're getting ready to build a museum. and we have little artis
