start your day with fox and friends each morning 5:00 to 9:00. thanks for joining us, we'll see you here tomorrow night. "the o'reilly factor" is on. tonight. >> -- from the ground >> high emotion at the funeral for michael brown in miouri as many african-americans believe they do not receive justice in this country. we will have a number of reports. >> they are an imminent threat to every interest we have, whether it's in iraq, or anywhere else. >> but now, as president obama returns from vacation, the administration may be downgrading the isis threat. charles krauthammer on that. >> you know the vice president, right? >> man -- >> i'm going to give you a hint. >> okay, go. >> first name joe -- >> also tonight, jesse waters

venturing in to the heart of motorcycle madness. a revved up watters' world ahead. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone from southern california. "the factor" begins right now. hi, i'm bill o'reilly reporting from los angeles. thanks for watching us tonight. as president obama returns from vacation, the threats from overseas mount. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. we live in a dangerous world and under president obama it's becoming even more dangerous yet millions of americans are not paying attention. and that in itself is dangerous. reports over the weekend say that russian tanks have now moved in to southeastern ukraine. we don't know the extent of that. but we do know the russian tyrant putin continues to challenge president obama. in china, warplanes apparently

buzzed a u.s. navy surveillance jet over international waters. the pentagon calls the situation provocative. and the isis army continues its carnage in the middle east. it's now captured an air base in syria. even as the obama administration debates whether or not to attack the terror group in that war-torn country. now it's hard to believe the isis situation is so out of control and the president knew about it, knew about the threat, for nearly a year. last thursday defense secretary hagel said this about isis. >> they are an imminent threat to every interest we have, whether it's in iraq, or anywhere else. isil is a sophisticated and well funded as any group that we have seen. they're beyond just a terrorist group. >> but this morning pentagon press secretary rear admiral john kirby seemed to play down the isis situation.

>> well, i think the general feeling is they're not capable of a 9/11-like style attack on the homeland right now. they certainly could through the use of foreign fighters impact western targets, including american targets, if they so choose. >> so once again we have mixed signals. the obama administration apparently not knowing how to deal with isis. that's disturbing, because the usa should be doing everything in its power to crush those savages. we have to bomb them in syria, we bomb them. we have to send in drones to kill their leadership, you do it. america has been equivocating about this threat for far too long. and one of the reasons for that is that many americans are fed up with fighting wars abroad. on the republican side, senator rand paul leading that movement. >> you know what? we are tired of war. we're worried that hillary clinton will get us involved in another middle eastern war because she's so gung ho. if you want to see a transformational election in our country let the democrats put

forward a war hawk like hillary clinton. >> on the left is also opposition to using military power to crush threats or right wrongs. and it's understandable that all the chaos in iraq and afghanistan, who wants another military involvement? not talking points. president obama's correct in being hesitant to put american military forces on the ground. but there are other ways to confront villains. and threats to the american people. and here is where president obama falls down. he does not anticipate dangerous situations. he does not have strategies at the ready. therefore, the terror threat is rising, and villains like putin are gaining power. just a matter of time before america is harmed by bad people. the murder of journalist james foley was just a preview of what is very likely to continue to happen on a far greater scale. president obama must wise up and fast, and become far more

aggressive in blunting threats to his very. and we, the people, need to start paying attention, as well. because it is we who hold the real power in this country. and believe me, we are not using it. and that's the memo. now for the top story reaction. joining us from washington charles krauthammer. let's take china first. how do you see their aggressive tactics? >> chinese are always very careful. they're very incremental but they are relentless. and they can see what they would call a paper tiger when they see one and they have never seen one more thin and less reliable than barack obama. i mean, what prevents them from expanding as they want to do? expanding their influence, and their control, and they're pushing into the east china sea, the south china sea, in to areas that are claimed by all the countries around them and they are ignoring them and establishing their control with -- in the air and on the ground and the sea.

the one power that would deter them is the united states. but not with this president. so they buzzed one of our planes yesterday. our reaction is, very little rhetorically. obama decides to send a carrier. i guess he was handed a checklist where it says send the carrier. but is there anything he said? any warning? any explanation to the american people about what's happening? it shouldn't have to happen on this show. it does. but this is not where it ought to be. >> right. >> the reason obama -- >> you don't have to define the situation. but i need you to define it. why is china saber rattling in international waters, trying to seize islands that have traditionally belonged to japan, vietnam and the philippines? why are they doing that? >> china has, for at least 60 years, you could argue a millennium, but let's say at least since the second world war, since the communists came to power, wants to dominate the region. wants to dominate the pacific rim countries all of whom are

allied with us, south korea, japan, the philippines, all the way down to, in fact, vietnam, which is a de facto ally of ours. they want to dominate. they want to be the regional hedge mon but to do that they have to get rid of the u.s. navy. and if they get rid of us they become the dominant power, control the resources and they essentially control what the other countries do. if the u.s. is not there, as we have been for 50 years, to deter them and protect the weaker powers, they will become the dominant power. >> okay. but president obama doesn't really have to define it to the american people because the american people know nothing about it. all right. they just don't know. >> well that's because you've never said anything about it. >> or the media hasn't said anything about it. and nobody has defined the issue the way we're doing it tonight. so you can go out on the street. i don't even think most of the american people know about isis. i don't think they know because most don't watch television news or read the newspaper anymore. they don't know about the

threats. >> that's why we have presidents. that's why we have leaders. people have their own lives. they have their own affairs. they have their own livelihoods. they have their families. they have a lot on their plate. when it comes to leadership about what's happening in a far corner of the world, you go to the president. the country was not interested in europe between the first and the second world wars. it needed an fdr who could see what was happening. to mobilize them at least spiritually, prepare them for pearl harbor. we know reagan was the one who girded us against the soviets. people -- and george h.w. bush, do you think there was a clamor in the country to kick iraq out of kuwait? there was none. but you had a president who understood the stakes, explained them over and over to americans, was able to rally an alliance behind them, after he had said either you come with us, or we're going to do this alone, created a coalition. that's -- >> so the question now --

>> -- leadership. >> so then the final question is, why isn't barack obama leading the way many past presidents have? why? >> look, there are ten theories i could offer, but the one that strikes me, the one as the most is he defines himself as anti-bush. he sees his mission in life as taking us out of wars. that's how he got elected. he thinks that if we leave places, nothing will change. and we'll all be safe. >> i can't believe. he can't believe that. >> he's governed that way for five years. >> i know but he can't believe it, charles. he can't believe it when he sees people being beheaded in front of cameras. he sees 35,000 miles of territory taken over by a terrorist army. he sees china's provocation of russia. he can't believe that nothing bad is going to happen. he can't. that's impossible. >> you can't believe that he can't believe it, but he does.

i've been arguing this since 2009 when he withdraw our power from iraq. he doesn't do a thing about the expansion of russia. he barely backs an ally when the chinese are expanding into the east and south china seas. he does this for years and years. now to admit that all of these things have gone sour is to admit that everything he's done for the five years has been a mistake, and a misunderstanding of the world. that is hard for anyone to do, and with obama, with his streak of narcissism, it is impossible for him to do. >> it's almost six years now. and it's -- but as i said, if we continue down this road it's going to be disastrous for the country. charles, thanks very much. next on the rundown the funeral of michael brown in missouri. very emotional. and there are many major issues at play here. later, we'll discuss white privilege. does it really exist in america?

tonight, the funeral of michael brown shot dead by a ferguson, missouri, police officer on august 9th. close to 5,000 attended the service today, at a baptist church in st. louis. the white house sent three officials. and five members of the congressional black caucus also attended. the ceremony was peaceful, but emotional. >> there is a cry being made from the ground. not just for michael brown. but for the trayvon martins, for those children at sandy hook elementary school, for the columbine massacre, for the black-on-black crime, there is a cry being made from the ground! and god is hearing. >> and joining us now from

washington, mary katherine hamm, ron williams both fox news analysts. what is the head line from the funeral service today for you? >> well, i think there was a lot of fear that this would become a platform, bill, for protests, racial rhetoric and language, invectives, even potentially for riots, more rioting, it would spark more rioting. instead what i saw was a deep show of faith. i was taken aback. you know, in the black religious tradition of, you know, moving on this far by faith, a show of belief even in the face of deep grief and loss over a child's life. i really was taken that it was a religious service, and i'm grateful for that. >> and mary katherine, any headline for you? >> yeah, i think it was sort of a peaceful coda perhaps to the story. maybe we're moving into a new phase of the starry and i hope it gives some folks on the ground some closure. look i think whenever an

incident becomes a national conversation, you're going to have some political opportunists, rhetorical opportunists, and even criminal opportunists latching onto this. i think in this new phase it becomes easier to get the facts about an issue like this. or an incident like this and not to sort of jump to conclusions. but i will say what i saw was some real people who are the friends of this person who have real concerns. and this incident aside, people should have concerns when an unarmed person ends up dead in a conflict with police. and the police need to be open about those investigations, and not to comment on this particular officer, the police department's response can be commented on and they gave basically a clinic on how not to deal with this and calm people down. and i think that's something that we demand of police and should. >> i agree with that, juan. i called the ferguson police the keystone cops. i got the nasty letters accusing me of whatever. >> you can say that without disrespecting cops.

there's this whole, when it becomes a national conversation like this, you either hate african-americans or you hate cops. you can have a discussion about this without doing either. >> right. and in the same commentary, we came up with the stat that 99.9% of arrests do not lead to anything like this in america. and that is a record that all law enforcement should be proud of. in this particular case to leave the body in the street for hours, to not put forth any rationale about why the incident happened was, as mary katharine is absolutely correct, irresponsible. because it did give, juan, it agitators, who then ran in and as we'll show you later on in the broadcast what they do, and blew this thing up. however, we get back to michael brown, because it was his service. and fair-minded americans, an 18-year-old -- you know, 18-year-olds make mistakes. no matter how this turns out. no matter how this case turns

out, one. 18-year-olds make mistakes. so if michael brown did something wrong it doesn't mean that you wind up dead in the street. all right. >> no. and, in fact, i was taken by that piece -- the piece that you ran in drusing the segment with mary katharine and me, bill, you had michael brown's uncle preaching. and you know, i was taken. i just thought it was an amazing little sermon that he delivered, eulogy, in which he talked about michael brown as something bigger than what we have all been focused on in terms of the racial back and forth, cop versus poor black people and all that. in which he was talking about this in terms of trayvon martin, columbine, sandy hook, and saying this is a level of violence our children live with in america, black, white, asian, hispanic. i thought that was quite amazing. and the second thing to say is here, i thought that when you heard from people who also spoke at the ceremony, a number of black celebrities there who took the time to be there, t.j. jakes

the minister, tom joiner the radio personality, spike lee the moviemaker, i think lots of people really thought this was an important thing to signify by their presence and i'm again glad that they did it. and even, even al sharpton, who i don't have a lot of respect for as you know, to say there's no time for a pity party, time to talk about black-on-black crime. you heard that from the uncle, too. >> yeah, he has to say that now. >> that's an important -- >> he has to say that now. >> because of you -- >> okay. i got to run but what we did here on "the factor" last week changed the whole way that everybody was talking about it. >> there we go. >> we'll get into a moment. thank you. directly ahead al shortstopton and how could the nation's leading provocateur continue to be paid by a leading news agency? how can that happen? and later watters in biker heaven out in south dakota. those reports after these messages.

personal story segment tonight. one interesting note about the funeral of michael brown today, al sharpton gave the eulogy. cnn and fox news did not take that live and msnbc only took part of it. that may be because sharpton has become so controversial in america that it's hard to explain how a news agency, nbc, can even have him on the payroll. joining us from washington lauren ashburn, howard kurtz from the fox news program "media buzz." so howard i understand you've been critical of the nbc/sharpton alliance. >> bill, this is a travesty. you have sharpton delivering pretty political speech at the funeral today. you have him meeting with michael brown's family. you have him talking about it on msnbc. interviewing the family on msnbc. and now, you have the acknowledgment by sharpton that he is a conduit, he is the go-to

guy for the obama white house on ferguson. it is amazing to me, this just weeks that msnbc thinks this is acceptable. >> well, why isn't a compliment to sharpton that he can deliver to msnbc exclusive stories from the white house, and from the family, of the slain boy? i mean that's what reporters are supposed to do, get exclusives. >> right. but, phil griffin -- >> no, no, no, laura, laura, laura -- >> are you cutting me off already? >> already. i'm challenging howard's opening statement. why isn't that a compliment to sharpton to be able to deliver that stuff? >> because you can't be a player and cover the game. we didn't know until this article in politico, now "the new york times" has a real puff piece on sharpton today, doesn't even mention this conflict of interest that obama was quietly working with -- excuse me that reverend al is working with the president to carry his message to be a conduit to valerie

jarrett. it is so fundamental that i don't think very few news organizations would allow it. >> no, i don't think any other than msnbc, and nbc news the parent company. now, lauren, look. it is a conflict of interest to take a sitting president, and to have a commentator basically do the sitting president's bidding. that is a conflict of interest. that is way out of the realm of what journalism used to be. surely you know that. >> 100% agree with you. absolutely agree that he should not be colluding with the white house and with president obama. however, president of -- >> but he is. >> he is, i agree. he shouldn't be. however, the president of msnbc, phil griffin, says look, we have been transparent with the audience. we are aware of his dual role, and so is the audience. >> here's how stupid that is. what if i was on the payroll of general electric, all right? >> you wouldn't be as rich as you are now. >> what if i was their paid

spokesperson, all right? but i still worked at fox news. and our bosses said well we're transparent, we tell everybody o'reilly is on the payroll at general electric. but i couldn't do commentary on environmental issues, on business issues, i couldn't do anything. it would be insane. so here's the rub. here's the rub. i believe that sharpton almost single-handedly has corrupted nbc news. >> i think that there are a lot of other factors that have gone in to that frankly, bill. it's not just al sharpton. it is the -- >> this is huge. >> it is. but the network has been leaning left and left and even more left in the last several years. it's not like one person is going to bring down the network. >> this is not about a bring down anything. there have to be some standards of behavior when you have a news channel, howard, or am i insane? >> well, here's the thing, bill. i covered al sharpton in new york when he was peddling the false gang rain claims, and he

told me afterwards that he still believed her. i covered him on a racial murder, and he said if there was an acquittal blacks would burn this town down. nbc gives him this platform and i think there's an ethical blind spot allowing you to have a little bit more relaxed view of it. >> no, i don't. but i also think that it is transparent what he is doing. he shouldn't be doing what he's doing with the white house. but you have to give it to him. he is a brilliant marketer with tremendous influence in the african-american community. he's gone from a laughingstock to a presidential adviser. >> i don't agree that he has tremendous influence. i don't think the national action network is a major organization in this country. i think the influence comes what we the media gives him, and nbc gives him a platform -- >> who did the president call, kurt? he picked up the phone he called al sharpton. he didn't call jesse jackson.

>> i've got to wrap it up. but there's a difference between an administration and the people. and if you took a poll, and we will on fox news, and we will ask americans, do you approve of al sharpton, yes or no? let's see. lauren, howard, thank you. what about the concept of white privilege in america? is it something real or fabricated? megyn kelly and i will discuss it. then watter is going to south dakota where the annual biker celebration was held. >> how many felony warrants do you have right now? >> two. >> we hope you stay tuned for those reports. as "the factor" continues from southern california.

factor follow-up segment. racial attitudes. an saturday a march in new york city accusing the nypd of racism in the case of eric garner. he died on july 17th after resisting arrest. the new york city medical examiner ruled garner's death a homicide saying police strangled the man while attempting to subdue him. the case will now be presented to the grand jury. mr. garner was unarmed and selling illegal cigarettes when the confrontation took place. now, that case, along with michael brown, have ignited anger in many african-american precincts. simply put many black americans feel they are being unfairly

treated in this country. some white americans don't understand that, but based upon history and personal interactions with the police, african-americans can make a case that they do not get the same kind of justice that white americans get. that perception causes some black americans to reject our criminal justice system entirely. the factor producer robert samuel out to the new york city march over the weekend. >> i'm here today demanding justice for the death of eric garner, who was murdered by the nypd. >> you think the officer who killed eric garner should be convicted without a trial? >> absolutely. because it was clearly a homicide. clearly murder. there's no doubt about it. it was a illegal chokehold placed on him that has been illegal since 1994. >> you think the officer should be convicted without a trial? >> without a doubt. of course -- >> what about the concept

innocent until proven guilty? what do you think about that? >> what's your innocent? what's innocent about it? what's not guilty about it? what's guilty about it? a chokehold right there? that's guilty. automatic. you got everything lock stock. prosecution. >> i'm tired of acting like this country isn't still suffering from a severe racist epidemic, and i'm tired of my white friends not recognizing the privilege they have. i think they should be tried. i don't know if they should be convicted without a jury because we have to refix our jury system that caters to white people and a police system as a license to kill. >> do you think there's anything -- self-defense? >> no self-defense. there was no reasonable self-defense. no one was violent against them. their life wasn't in danger. their life wasn't in danger so there's no self-defense. >> do you think the police in new york are racist? >> i don't believe 100%. yes they are. >> michael brown you think

there's any chance the officer was acting in self-defense? >> no. >> why do you think that? >> because from my research, he had his hands in the air, and they just kept shooting at him. witnesses said. >> witnesses saw him -- >> -- approached the officer, went to the hospital before he shot -- right after he shot michael brown said he was injured by michael brown. >> that's what they said. >> uh-huh. >> that's what they said. >> the news reports, yeah. does that change your thinking at all? >> to be honest, i don't really listen to the news. i depend on alternative media. >> look what they did to the kid in ferguson. how many times do you have to shoot to stop? it's ridiculous. >> you think that officer should be convicted without a trial? d. >> and do you think there's any chance that police officer shot in self-defense? >> no, i don't. no i don't. it's impossible. >> but of course it's not impossible and the police

officer that killed michael brown darren wilson deserves to have his story on the record before he is condemned. many americans, not all of them black, are missing, is that no one at this point knows all the facts of both cases. justice should not be emotional. it should be factual. coming right back. megyn kelly and i will discuss the white privilege accusation driving much of my name is jenny, and i quit smoking with chantix. before chantix, i tried to quit... probably about five times. it was different than the other times i tried to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. that helped me quit smoking. 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 can 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 and unusual dreams. my quit date was my son's birthday. and that was my gift for him and me. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. a brand new start. your chance to rise and shine. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner, you can do just that. with our visionary cloud infrastructure, global broadband network and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable - secure - agile. and with responsive, dedicated support, we help you shine every day of the week.

thanks for staying with us. i'm bill owe reilly reporting tonight from los angeles. in the kelly file segment the notion of white privilege. as stated some african-americans believe and some whites as you saw in the previous piece, that blacks do not receive the same kind of justice that white americans are getting. megyn kelly herself is an attorney and covered the supreme court for fox news before anchoring her own program. so do you believe the white privilege theory? >> it's got a lot of evidence behind it. if you look at the statistics, bill, they're alarming. and i did a little research before the segment. just to kick off a few for your viewers. black unemployment rate in ferguson is three times the white unemployment rate. black men between the ages of 16 and 24 have an almost 50% unemployment rate for whites it's 16%. in the united states, a black

child is almost four times as likely to live in a poor neighborhood, as a white child is. 20% of white kids are in single parent homes. 52% of black kids are. the incarceration rate is six times higher for blacks than it is for whites. there are segregated housing in ferguson. there's underperforming schools. both of those correlate strongly with low prospects in life. and this area, st. louis, has a noticeably disadvantaged situation when it comes to folks who are born poor getting out of poverty over the course of their life. places like seattle, you got a real shot at it. places like st. louis, not so much. all of that, and not to mention in 2008 the bureau of justice staff came out with this figure. blacks almost three times as likely as whites to be subjected to force or threatened with it by police. all of that explains numbers by pew that show that just 18% of blacks are confident in this michael brown investigation. 52% of whites are. 65% of blacks say the cops went too far. 33% of whites do.

those numbers are all correlated, bill. they are all correlated. >> all right. now let me challenge the stats here. number one you have a black attorney general, who is basically running the investigation. so i don't know why african-americans wouldn't have confidence in that. eric holder has, in the past -- >> he's not running it yet. he's running a satellite investigation. but right now -- >> but you and i both know that holder will call the shots here. and he has the bully pulpit. >> and holder the viewers should know, his doj was actually cited for misconduct in an investigation against cops down in new orleans. so there you have the opposite problem. you know, i mean there's a question about whether holder can be fair to law enforcement. >> but i'm dealing with the african-american perception that justice won't happen here which i think is a myth. secondly the asian-american community is not a troubled situation, as everybody knows, their academics are better than whites, okay. they have language to overcome. while black americans don't.

it all comes down to families, culture, personal responsibility, all of these things, which we don't hear anything or much about. and this is what drives the poverty -- >> but it's not just families and culture. look it's not just families and culture. i agree with you, the stats i was giving you about single parent homes and so on that's all relevant. the double parent home is very helpful. >> and that's big. >> it's big. but it's not just family culture. i mean you look at -- if you are -- look at that stat about the black children, four times as likely to live in poor neighborhoods as white children. and in the same -- >> but that's all economically driven. >> there's documented white flight. the blacks as they move out to these suburbs like ferguson the whites take off. these become black neighborhoods, the schools, they get forgotten. and the black population feels forgotten, bill. that's why they feel resentful. they don't believe the justice system is going to give them a fair shake. they don't believe the economic system is going to give them a

fair shake. president obama made all sorts of promises that didn't come true. their democratic governor in missouri made all sorts of promises that didn't come through. they have very few people to trust. >> all right. and i agree with all of those statements. but nothing will get better in this country until the culture changes. and the culture is, you can do it. and here's what you have to do. >> i understand that. >> in order to succeed. >> self-empowerment and what they don't need in this case -- >> government and white people can't change -- >> what they don't need in this case or any case is people like al sharpton going in there and declaring as a matter of fact that michael brown didn't use any deadly force or pose no deadly threat to the officers. >> it just alienates everybody. >> have someone come in and prejudge and tell you the facts are one way, you believe him. that's why he is abusing his power. >> okay. megyn kelly and she's coming up right after "the factor." watters on deck. watters on deck. motorcycle madness tonight as [ male announcer ] are your joints ready for action? osteo bi-flex® with joint shield™
