fight against isis and whether we should. in the meantime go to facebook.com/thekellyfile. follow me on twitter. let me know what you think of tonight's show. we're always reading, esp this time of night. thanks for watching. i'm megyn kelly. see you tomorrow. welcome to "hannity." this is a fox news alert. isis militants are demanding $6.6 million for the release of another american hostage that they are holding captive. now, this hostage has been identified as a 26-year-old woman who was kidnapped one year ago while doing humanitarian relief work in syria. now, this comes after news broke last night that 33-year-old douglas mcarthur mccain was killed while fighting for isis over the weekend. we turn to conor powell standing by tonight in jerusalem. conor. >> reporter: sean, it's estimated there are more than 12,000 foreign fighters like mccain in syria and iraq right now. u.s. intelligence officials say they're tracking 300 american

citizens over there fighting side by side with militants as we speak. now, mccain reportedly joined isis in the spring. and the 33-year-old minnesota native was killed this weekend by the free syrian army during a fight. his family say they were unaware of his activities. they said they spoke to him on friday. they believed he was in turkey. now, intelligence officials say american militants represent a real threat to the united states. the fear is that jihadists like mccain will return to the u.s. on american passports and launch attacks. in addition to the large number of foreign fighters, one of the real big reasons that u.s. officials say groups like isis are so dangerous is their financial strength. isis looking to add to the more than $1 billion in assets. the group reportedly demanding nearly $7 million in exchange for the release of another american. the unidentified 26-year-old female aid worker is the third known american in isis custody. isis, sean, threatening to kill the woman if the u.s. doesn't

pay ransom. sean. >> pretty frightening. conor, thank you so much for that report tonight. and tonight there are also questions that remain about the administration's approach to isis and whether or not the white house is down playing the threat that in fact this terror group poses to our homeland. earlier today fox news got its hands on the west point counterterrorism journal which includes a new assessment on isis and its military and intelligence capabilities. and fox's own catherine herridge is standing by with all the details. >> the terrorist group isis or isil has taken a systematic and strategic approach to gain equipment. this assessment published by the combatting terrorism center at west point, an independent and privately funded research group reads in part, isil did not suddenly become effective in early june 2014, it had been steadily strengthening and actively shaping the future operating environment for four

years. >> there's been deliberate and very thoughtful approach to how they built themselves up. they have armored units. they have vehicles. they have tactics. they have command and control structures. they're very well organized. it's not a bunch of terrorists running around. it's an organized militant army. >> the analysis also says abu bakr al baghdadi, the group's leader, rebooted the organization in 2010 and began a multi-year campaign that took specific aim at the american-trained iraqi security forces with car bombs and assassinations at checkpoints. >> do they need to give themselves the freedom to operate. and by putting pressure on the security forces and weaken them, it gave them the freedom and the room to operate and build the organization that it has become. >> with iraqi security forces under pressure, as early as 2013 the report says trained fighters began shifting from syria to iraq and built on these gains. a senior republican lawmaker says the network is having --

during the bush administration surge. >> we know it's connected to al qaeda and iraq. the former core of the anbar province insurgency that general petraeus helped to crush. >> this week the pentagon acknowledged they were not blind sided and that there were multiple indicators in the intelligence that this group was gaining strength, sean. >> thank you for that report tonight. meanwhile, as the administration begins to weigh military options against isis, there are reports that the president may bypass congress and go it alone on these air strikes. but this is not the only case where the legislative branch may be circumvented. the "new york times" reporting that the white house is also pursuing an international climate change deal but without the approval of congress. fox's own ed henry is standing by at the white house tonight. he has the details. ed, this more troubling talk of an imperial presidency here. that, immigration, air strikes, a lot going on the president

doesn't want to consult congress with or use them for. >> well, sean, tonight certainly looks like the president is on a collision course at this point. syria particularly interesting because there's kind of a growing riff potentially within the president's own party. you now have two senior senate democrats, chris murphy of connecticut, tim kane of virginia saying they want to have a debate if not a vote to authorize military support in syria if the president wants to go forward with that. that's not what the white house wants to hear. murphy saying this is going to be a broader fight against isis that could be military action throughout the middle east, a long-term campaign. and he wants this debated out on capitol hill. meanwhile, senate republicans are saying they want to see a strategy from the president to defeat isis, not just contain them. something i pressed josh earnest about today at the white house podium. what is the strategy? for the president to say we're going to root out the cancer, that's more of a slogan than a strategy, isn't it?

>> well, i -- >> what does that mean root out the cancer? how? >> well, i think, as i've answ question that the president has laid out a comprehensive strategy for dealing with the threat posed by isil. >> earnest said that includes military mite but also diplomatic initiative. while there's been a lot of hype about the potential for military action, it's not clear from the white house that the president is going to move forward with military action in syria. meanwhile, on the climate change report you noted the "new york times" saying the president might cut a deal with the united nations, avoid a senate vote on these climate change moves. today, josh earnest tried to downplay that. said, look, if congress is not going to act on climate change, the president is going to have to look at other avenues to move forward on this. bottom line on both of these big issues the president has to at least take a time-out on those issues friday when he heads to rhode island for a fundraiser. >> ed, as the president talks about a comprehensive strategy, will not use the word defeat

isis, but diplomatically, does that mean there might be any possibility that they might engage isil/isis militants? >> i think what he's referring to is try to get saudi arabia, jordan, other important partners in the middle east to help in the fight against isis. so it's not just a u.s. fight. so this is a broader coalition. but as you know the president has spoken out on this issue but has not been seen publicly sort of leading a coalition. as i pressed josh earnest about, he gave the speech to the american legion yesterday about, look, justice will be done. this is a cancer that's going to be rooted out. but he's not laid out what steps he wants to take to actually follow through on that. that's what republicans and some democrats are now saying they want to see up on capitol hill. >> all right. thanks, ed henry at the white house tonight here with reaction to obama's imperial presidency and much more. nationally syndicated talk show host, i call him the great one, mark levine. isis has acquired more land,

more money, more fire power, they are more brutal, evil and ruthless than even al qaeda, if you can imagine. they said to the united states we will see you in new york. we saw what they did to this photo journalist. they said they want to raise the flag of islam in our white house. what do you make of the president's reaction or lack thereof? it seems to me this is a situation where people have declared war against us. >> you know, i want the american people to understand something, sean. the commander in chief, and we only have one, is the president of the united states and his name is barack obama. and these cockroaches organized, funded themselves, built a forceful military, started conquering geographic areas all around the world under his nose. he ignored it. he did nothing about it. he didn't talk to the american people about it. as a matter of fact, he

downplayed it. this is one of the worst military national security screw ups in modern american history. and he's still screwing up. has he rallied the american people? has he spoken to congress? has he asked for a declaration of war or at least a joint resolution to fund an aggressive offensive attack against these cockroaches? no, he hasn't. we're dealing with a very peculiar, petulant man who operates with a few advisors around him. a man who really needs as much counciling and expertise he can get given his thin resume and experience record. i'm going to tell you something else because you've brought up a number of issues here. if this president thinks by changing the word treaty to accord or treaty to deal that he can violate article 2, section 2, clause 2 of the united states constitution which involves the essential rights of the union, that's what governor morris,

delegates of the constitutional convention said on september 8, 1787, this treaty process involves essential rights of the union. then this is number 1200 example of a lawless imperial president. this treaty process, they debated at length. they said, no, they don't want the house of representatives involved. they want the senate involved. do you know why? because they wanted the states involved in issues of sovereignty involving america. well, that was blown away with the 17th amendment, but still there has never been a debate, ever, that the senate has the right under our institution -- >> let me ask you -- >> -- to ratify treaties. >> agreed. and i would agree they're bypassing. i agree they think they're being clever. but this is not unusual. he didn't get his immigration bill, they didn't enforce immigration laws in the country. same with health care. they make changes in health care, they don't go back to

congress. we have co-equal branches of government, separation of powers, there are three issues on the table now where this president may dictate and not go to congress. air strikes in syria is one, immigration and possibly even given amnesty to as many as 6 million people and now this climate change issue. how should republicans deal with this? >> well, i don't know how these republicans should deal with this. i've been arguing a long time that we need to stand up to this president. i want to say this again to the american people, we are living increasingly in a post-constitutional period. this president is destroying the united states congress with the help of his party, with the help of harry reid in the senate. whether it's the filibuster rule, whether it's treaties or what have you, we've never seen anything like this in american history. even franklin roosevelt's vice president rejected former speaker of the house when he tried to pack the supreme court.

we do not have these ethical leading democrats anymore who are standing up to this president. this president does not want to work with congress. he does not want to rally the american people. he wants to go it alone. he's incapable of going it alone. he's doing e nor maus damage to this country. he's vis rating what's left to the constitution. he's attacking american sovereignty. with this u.n. deal they're talking about. with the open borders and the executive fiat that he's talking about, these are all efforts to destroy american sovereignty by barack obama. >> look, i agree, you wrote this in one of your books, a pro-constitutional american. if you look back and look at the things you're saying, it's pretty frightening. and i think he's taken this further than anybody. i know the republicans in the house going forward with the lawsuit. there is the power of the purse. the one senator that tried to do something about health care using the power of the purse was

senator ted cruz. isn't that the one thing, the one weapon that they can use where they have constitutional authority if in fact they want to combat some of these things the president's trying? >> it's a power if they use it. if they don't use it, it's just words on a piece of parchment. the fact of the matter is within weeks of becoming speaker of the house john boehner surrendered it. when he came to that continuing resolution he said he's not going to shut down the government. great, don't shut it down, but do you have to announce it to your adversary on the other side of pennsylvania avenue? the government's been shut down 27 times. i don't see where it's done enormous damage. that said you have paul ryan coming on saying it was a disaster, disaster. so what they've done is they have surrendered their power. impeachment we can't talk about it. the power of the purse they're not going to exercise. what's left? if they're not going to act like congress, then congress is going

to be destroyed. let me be clear mr. boehner and mr. mcconnell and the other republicans, he is destroys congress. and the senate has been i vis rated and none of you guys have the guts to stand up and tell the american people over and over and over again who he is and what he's doing. >> well said. mark levin, thanks so much for being with us. still ahead, senator john mccain will be here. but first -- thank you very much for being with us. well, you're one sick, miserable, evil -- >> he's back. i go one-on-one who in the past has praised the 9/11 hijackers. he's in the news yet again as there are multiple reports that he has ties to the isis terrorists who in fact beheaded american journalist james foley. i'll ask him to respond and more. unlimited cash back.

welcome back to "hannity" now. although the world is focusing on the isis network in syria, we should point out the rise of radical islam is not just in the middle east. advocated for britain to become an islamic state. last week imam tweeted whatever -- they cannot stop the rise of the awakening giant called the muslim ummah, shari' ah will one day be low in the uk. james foley was reportedly

radicalized by his followers. here to explain himself in a "hannity" exclusive is imam. you have blamed this on -- whatever military reaction we had in mosul and surrounding areas was in reaction to isis demanding convert to islam or die. do you support isis demanding that christians, the yazidis, convert to islam or die? do you support that? >> well, that's two questions there. one about what the islamic state actually asking to do and how this particular incident began. in fact, i seem to remember people were shocked and awed over ten years ago when the americans killed hundreds of thousands of people. >> i asked you several -- do you support -- >> i'm talking about -- >> do you support convert to islam or die? answer the question. >> the fact is -- i'm answering

it. allow me to. the fact is this has a precursor. if the americans bomb and murder hundreds of thousands of people and they torture people and they continue to do so in guantanamo b bay, repercussions. i think it was george bush say either you're with us or you're a terrorist. >> so you're with the terrorist. not even answer my question. do you support isis telling christians, the yazidis, in mo sell, northern iraq, that they must convert to islam, pay a tax or die? what do you think of that? >> this is simply false. it didn't happen. >> it did -- >> the thing about the muslims in the islamic state -- the muslims in the islamic -- >> they've been chased out of their homes -- >> answer the question. i'll answer the question -- >> let me educate you because obviously you're pretty ignorant. but we have video of children that have been beheaded, like this photo journalist, women and children with their heads placed

on a stick after they've been beheaded. and we have one report after another of people who've been killed, chased out of their homes, they're in the sinjar mountains, the world is dropping food to support them and to protect them from radical friends of yours that you obviously support. and i'm just asking, do you support the concept of an islamic caliphate of either convert or die? do you support that? it's a simple question. >> can i answer the question without interruption? >> come on. go ahead. do you support convert or die? >> what you're talking about is completely falsehood. first ol of all the yazidis went to the mountain before the islamic state came to the area. first of all they said there were 40,000 and then 20,000 and said a couple hundred and they were living in the mountains anyway invil villagevillages. so this is a complete pack of lies in order to villainize. there's nothing called isis anymore. the christians coming back into

mosul because they realized the life under the shari' ah is better. >> let me ask you now -- listen, you're rewriting -- you're writing your own history. you're wasting our time. >> let me educate you now. >> you're not honest. you get your show and i'll be a guest on your show. >> torture people for over ten years in guantanamo bay. they are still there. >> that's right. they're called terrorists. by the way, by the way, i would take you -- i would take you -- i would take you and i would take all your friends and i would take the guy that beheaded this -- i'm giving you an answer. i'll say it in your mosque. i would tell you -- >> which would you prefer? >> listen closely to the answer. if you shut up i'll give you an answer. listen. i would take every terrorist like you -- >> what about your drones? how many people have you -- with

your drones and your vacuum bombs and your daisy cutters. the only weapon of mass destruction you found in iraq were the ones you dropped yourself. >> eventually the world's going to wake up to what i would say and every radical islamist like you will be wiped off the face of the earth because you have no respect for women, no respect for people of other faiths, you have no respect for innocent human life. you are radical and you want your religion or no religion. let me ask you questions -- let me ask you questions about shar' ah which you want to implement. what do you think about women that toent want to cover themselves? what would the punishment be if you don't want to cover women in shari ah -- >> let me answer the question. we don't exploit pornography, fashion and cosmetics industry. women are not slabs of meat. they are our mothers, our sisters. >> and if a woman doesn't want to wear a burka or covering --

>> you're not -- women -- >> are you that dumb and ignorant? answer it. what would the punishment be? >> western women would cover themselves. they don't walk around naked -- >> so if they don't cover themselves, what should the punishment be? >> they're honored. >> now, let me ask you this, if a woman is raped under shari' ah, there's a need for four male eyewitnesses for that rape. do you agree with that? >> no, this is nonsense. they not implement -- >> in iran -- >> the man would be punished. >> what about women that commit adultery? should women be stoned to death if they commit adultery? >> both men and women if there are witnesses, self-confession, of course they will be punished. >> what about gay people? should be gay people be stoned to death? >> you know, ho mo sexuality and bestiality, i believe in -- >> should they be stoned to

death? i'm asking. >> you know, you can have a relationship with just about whoever you want. in islam -- created adam and eve -- >> should gay people be stoned to death? >> under the islamic state people would not be doing this relationship in the public. if they do, then there would be punishment of course. >> how about in saudi arabia women can't drive and women pu men they're related to under shari' ah, do you agree with that? >> well, women can drive if they want to -- >> they can't drive. >> you know -- you keep interrupting. >> no freedom. >> in saudi arabia they're not shari' ah. in iraq and syria. let's talk about that. iran is implement in -- bashar al assad who you want to support now who killed over 200,000 people -- >> let me ask you this. last question. the quran, which you love so much, the quran says you should take neither christians nor jews

for your friends. it talks about infidels and jihad and holy war. what does that mean to you? i'm a christian. are you as a muslim not allowed to be friends with me because the quran says you can't be friends with me? and what do you think about jewish people? >> okay. let's not have another interruption, should we? or do you want to ask the question? you're not interested in the answer. you want to listen to your own voice. maybe you would learn something if you listen. >> make it simple to get through your big head. >> shut up for a minute. >> answer. answer the question. >> i'm going to answer you. >> finally. >> let me tell you something, in the house of europe for over 800 years, muslims, jewish, christian, live side by side. i believe in a society where we can live together. unlike the jews who are bombing muslims in palestine, unlike

your friends bombing people in syria, we've been in a society where we can live together. our life, our honor, our wealth -- >> what about hamas? 4,000 rockets into israel. do you condemn that? what about hamas's charter that calls for the obliteration. >> i believe your own channel said that 2,000 people being slaughtered in self-defense. is that what you believe? is that self-defense? >> absolutely it's self-defense. israel is defending itself. 100%. >> of course they're defending themselves. >> you have made a living off being very clever in your own way. >> when you live in america -- the rest of the world -- >> you support the caliphate. you support hamas, hezbollah, isis, you support al qaeda. you once said about 9/11 you were very clear that you were on team bin laden, not team obama. so you supported what happened on 9/11 and said it was a good thing.

i know where you're coming from. >> sean, sean, there are two things -- >> you are the enemy of free people. you are the enemy of free people. you support evil. and you support murdering and terror. so that makes you an enemy of freedom. i don't want -- neither does anybody in great britain that has a brain. >> sean, it's coming to a place near you. it's coming to a place near you. >> so you're threatening to come and get me, is that what you're saying? >> i'm saying shari' ah is coming -- >> you want a worldwide islamic caliphate. >> of course we do. yes. being promised -- >> infidels should be destroyed and done with. >> you will be liberated from the shackles of -- >> i need to be liberated by islam. i'm a christian. i don't want shari' ah. i believe in womens rights.

i believe in freedom. your version of morality is cutting people's heads off you don't agree with. i'll take -- freedom as they are. but i don't chop kids heads off, i don't chop photo journalist heads off and say that's a good thing and pay back people -- you support murder. you support terror. you supported bin laden. >> which is self-defense. >> you support evil. >> and you're killing children -- >> see you later. and up next, senator john mccain is here to respond. plus, i'll ask him how senate republicans intend to stop obama's imperial presidency as we continue. hoo, hoo, hoo oohh, you got it! i love the looks of it.

along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. 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 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. this a fox news alert.

in just a moment i'll be joined by arizona senator john mccain. but first new reports iran is taking steps to help defeat the terror group in isis in iraq. here with more on that story is fox's own james rosen. >> sean, good evening. on its face you might think iran providing arms to the kurds in northern iraq to help them combat the terrorist army known as isis would be a clear cut case is the enemy of my enemy is my friend. not in this case. begun funneling weapons to krg in northern iraq emerged when the iranian foreign minister visited irbil yesterday and met with krg president. the state department wouldn't confirm the weapons deliveries but clearly did not look kindly upon them. >> i think we've expressed concerns in the past about the reports of iranian flow of arms into iraq previously. that would apply here as well. >> when isis captured the iraqi

city of mosul in early june, the kurdish army responded by seizing the oil hub of kirkuk and the u.s. intervened with air strikes. a kurdish analyst told fox news his people are grateful for that but readily accepted iran's offer of weapons. >> the dynamics of politics in kurdistan does not lend itself to too much iranian domination unlike what might seem iran is overwhelming the decision making process. >> iran has its own population of 8 million kurds. tehran has brutally suppressed them over the years and may be assisting the iraqi kurds as a way of prechbting them from seeking independence and giving the iranian kurds some unwelcomed ideas, sean. >> james, thank you. joining me now to react on this and much more senator john mccain. senator, welcome back. did you like the imam? >> it's amusing in one respect,

sean. but in another it's really scary. the muslim faith as you know is a forgiving religion. it has a lot of similarities between that and the christian and hebrew and jewish religions. but this perversion of it and from time to time like in the spanish inquisition the bible was perverted. but here we are in the 20th century to hear that is entertaining but also pretty scary. these are the guys that arin doctrine nating people to go to syria and kill people and some day come back and kill americans. >> that's the reality. that's what we saw happen to this photo journalist. that's what they're threatening to do to others. we see people chased out of their homes. you know, it took the entire time to get out of him he wants a worldwide caliphate. and that's what they're pushing for. and this is a real danger. and how do you react to the president of the united states, and that is it's been a pretty

much nonresponse. the official position today is still that ft. hood was workplace violence, not a terrorist attack. >> well, the president of the united states was elected president, as you know, on a very different world view, get us out of iraq. by the way, he did. and it was his decision. and it was a huge mistake. and we predicted all that is happening at the time because it was so predictable. but he doesn't view the united states of america as a nation that needs to lead the world. that does not mean sending troops everywhere engaging in every war. but when america's leadership is absent, bad things happen. and all of this could have been avoided. sean, it's not like hurricanes or earthquakes and natural disasters. it has to do with strategy and policy and outlook of the united states' obligations in the world. could i just mention two instances that have not escaped attention but are symptom attic

of the problem we have with american leadership. one is the egyptian and uae bomb in libya, without asking us. two, there was a cease-fire made in egypt between hamas and israel. and do you know any role the united states played there? none. that is huge when you think about the absence of american leadership. why? because they don't believe we're reliable because of the syria decision on bombing and also by us not leaving a force behind. go ahead. >> what do you make the president may go about air strikes without working with congress? or he might go along with this u.n. climate change without consulting congress and bypassing congress on that? or on immigration. what do you make of the president not respecting co-equal branches of government? >> i think it's terrible and i think it's the worst that i've ever seen. and if he ever wants immigration reform, he will set it back years and years if he acts through executive order.

as far as the bombing is concerned, under the war powers act he can bomb and then come to congress after 30 days. but what he really needs to do is come to congress with a strategy, with policies that implement this strategy. does anyone on earth know what the president's strategy is? by the way, you know, jimmy carter changed after afghanistan, george bush, the surge after iraq was failing, clinton after -- he can change. but these other presidents saw the reality, did change in light of conditions as they existed. and this president seems to blightly ignore them. >> senator, thank you for your insight. appreciate it. >> thank you, sean. coming up, sources say more than 300 americans are now fighting in support of isis in the middle east. so will that threat soon reach the shores of america? coming up, my one-on-one interview with imam.

that that's what he wants, the caliphate. >> yes. >> you've seen this because you've traveled abroad a lot. >> i thought it was the perfect microcosm of the clash of citizens today. i thought you both articulated your positions in a way that revealed who you are. now, obviously i think that your side is logical and more reason than his. but he feels his -- >> that's the first time you've called me logical and reasonable -- >> my differences are with you are nuance, not substance. he revealed a very harsh and intolerant world and it's very fearful because it is a message that is malignant right now. and it is spreading. and i think that it is inevitable that it will come here. >> i think it's more than inevitable. i think it's a certainty. and that's sad because you lost friends on 9/11. i lost friends on 9/11. this is the way that i see this going down is you got all these radical groups. they have in common a hatred for

israel and a hatred for the west. and you heard his answer about womens and gays, et cetera, et cetera. it's intolerance. to me they want a modern day holocaust. they want to wipe israel off the map. they want to destroy the west. they have no problem beheading people by whatever means necessary. >> and they say so in arabic to muslim audiences and then they come on your show and you hear this double speak and frankly outright lies. i want to say he is more than just a loud mouth. mr. choud ri was the leader of an organization in the uk that was outlawed because of its support of terrorism. one in five convicted terrorists in britain was one of his students. this is someone who radicalizes and he connects young men in the uk to go off and fight jihad violently. so when he's on the show and he's just debating and being lawyerly and legalistic, that's only a slice of what that particular imam is doing. he is very actively supporting

terrorism. >> interesting a lot of these guys never put the bombs on themselves or strap the bombs -- the 72 virgins go to somebody else, stacy. >> they put it on children. >> they put it on children. >> or bomb the nation to the muslim religion. it's not fair that that's what we see. that's what we have to feel about that religion because that's not how the religion is. >> but hijacked and aren't modern muslims, many of them afraid to speak out. >> of course they're scared. that guy's a bully. that's why you have to take them out. >> these guys have become apocalyptic nihilists. i don't mean to disrespect -- cheech from cheech and chong, what have they invented since algebra. >> suicide bombs. >> for the violence to bring down everybody else and to suppress women which means you cut yourself intellectually from half of your gene pool -- then

you're doomed to be -- >> is there any other option than taking them out? anything else we can do short of that? i don't see it. >> not with a person like that. sean, you make such a great point about how these imams whip up this fervor and recruit these young men, but they never strap the bombs on themselves. this particular imam he has said he would love to live under shari' ah and isis in the caliphate. >> oh well. >> that's what i say. don't let the drone hit you on the way out. >> that's a great line. >> what's interesting to me is how his hateful philosophy is legal in the united kingdom. i think it's going to hit britain. britain will be like the canary in the coal mine. >> france, germany, britain. >> i think britain is the most intense. >> look at france. look at the rise of anti-semitism. >> and french muslim jihadist. >> we're seeing a simultaneous rise of radicalism and anti-semitism and antichristian sentiment as well. >> the saudis are behind most of it.

>> thank you. coming up, is america's southern border a gateway for these terrorists to enter the u.s.? coming up next i'll ask the nation's toughest sheriff, nation's toughest sheriff, friend of geraldo, joe [ female announcer ] hands were made for talking. feet...tiptoeing. better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don't start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines,

low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. one pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. ask about xeljanz. i thought "so what?", but now "cai can't stop playing.rst that's not how it works. i mean it's so simple. it's like my car insurance. i saved 15% in fifteen minutes.

>> welcome back to "hannity", my first guest is ramping up his rhetoric, america's toughest sheriff wrote in a letter, quote, our country is under attack and barack obama is the aggressor. he's not mincing words here and given the threat isis poses the question tonight, could our open boarde boarders -- borders. >> you said that about obama. people pick it up you mean it, don't you? i've known you a long time. >> you know, he's the leader. he has to be held responsible. and i was a director with the u.s. drug enforcement.

my job is stopping the drugs before it enters the united states we'll never secure that border 100% we have to take action and other means. one thing that confuses me, we have thousands of kids coming into the united states across the mexican border. where was the cia? where was the state department? the u.s. ambassador? trying to tell me they did not know that this activity would be occurring? if they didn't know, there is something wrong over there. >> i was down with governor perry, and down to the border ten times. and they're catching people from yemen, syria, pakistan, afghanistan do you believe isis can cross that border? and have? >> of course, anyone can cross the border. they look at cnn and fox, and everywhere you're trying to tell

me they don't know the politicians saying the border is not secured? they know it's not secured. that is just common sense. let's hope we can do something, in foreign countries, and stop them from reaching the u.s. border. >> all right. sheriff, thank you. appreciate it. more "hannity" right after the break. if you're suffering from constipation or irregularity, powders may take days to work. for gentle overnight relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, for relief you can count on.
