" "hannity". thanks for joining us, have a great night. the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> i don't want to put the cart before the horse. we don't have a strategy yet. >> is president obama doing too little too late to confront the isis threat? we will hear from two top military experts on how to tee feet the terrorist group. >> there is a war on black boys in this country. in my opinion, there is a war on african-american men. >> why was opinion replaced fact in the news? have the riots in ferguson turned just not a town but a nation into warring camps? bernie goldberg will analyze what is troubling america. >> where we can get healthcare, afford college, be guaranteed equal pay, all of these things are at great, great risk. >> and, scarlett johansson,

my ex, getting into bed with planned parenthood. could their new campaign to attack republicans back fire? we will tell you. caution, i have ten of these, the factor begins as soon as i stop talking. ♪ ♪ hi, i'm greg gutfeld in for bill o'reilly. top story, confronting isis, when it comes to terror, the white house has changed their tune more times than a jukebox. you would think isis would realign priorities. when our leader is fixated on our country's flaws not its threats it's no wonder he sends out more messages than a dyslexic texter. >> as our strategy develops we will continue to consult with congress and i do think it will be important for congress to weigh in and/or

that our consultations with congress continue to develop so that the american people are part of the debate, but i don't want to put the cart before the horse. we don't have a strategy yet. >> no strategy? so let's help him. there are two choices. isis is not yet a threat or isis is a threat? those who say it's not a threat act like sis sis are from outerspace and it's going to take them decades to get here. sorry, they are here on earth, evil can reach us now. see boston, see times square and even the incompetent overtime becomes competent the 9/11 bombers they were feeble once which is why whether they can kill us now or later owe blited rating them solves the problem either way. let them live and they spread faster than a cold sore in college which is why it's scary to see our president consumed by climate not by terror. like a man worrying about dran druf in a plague.

isis is no flakey condition. they are the deadliest terror group going. controlling the turf the size of maryland with oil fields and weaponry out recruiting all. you can't spell crisis without isis and until our commander in cleats takes it seriously, we are screwed. meanwhile comedians on the left like jon stewart seem to down play the danger from isis. >> first rule of evil, try not to have your acronym remind me of 70s live action children's television show. yes, i'm taking over your town from. now on, everyone reports to me! captain kangaroo. >> so, wait a minute. they are recruiting americans? >> he grew up in minnesota and nothing on his facebook page hints while he decided to sacrifice his life for jihad. mccain's likes included pizza hut, the chicago bulls and the koran.

>> so isis is an unstoppable force of evil. it's been using things like youtube to recruit hungry chicago bulls fans to fight for them. >> harmless. so what is the risk that isis poses to the united states? joining me now to analyze from boise, idaho, former cia officer mike baker and from washington james carafano national security expert and vice president at the heritage foundation. so, mike, i will go to you first. jon stewart compared isis to terrorist group to a kid's show. i guess they can't be that bad. they are foolish and silly. >> right. yeah. i mean according to the state department over the past couple days it's a national security threat according to military and intel personnel throughout the community. it's a national security threat. jon stewart or his writers think differently so frankly i may have to reassess my position based on jon stewart's assessment. look, there is a real problem here. and that is that, you know,

there is two things you probably shouldn't do when you are confronting an enemy like isis. one, is you probably shouldn't give them a lot of advanced warning about potential air strikes. the other is you probably shouldn't say you have a strategy. i don't want to make light of this, but, i think today's press conference by the president indicates just how much they are struggling to figure out a game plan for this. we, right now we have been working to contain the issue. that's it. we need a strategic plan to defeat this problem before they finish what they're trying to do, which is gabe territorial integrity and consolidate the position and ultimately make this a much bigger problem to deal with down the road. >> james, was it a mistake calling isis jv unless maybe it stood for jumbo vicious? >> well, there so great story, as a matter of fact, it was broke on fox news about a report coming out from the encountering terrorism at west point

doing great work. four year rise of isis. even if you look at the open literature that's available. really clear these guys are becoming a big problem. to see we don't have a strategy is unbelievable day before pearl harbor happened we had a strategy because the military spent years thinking about well, what happened if the unthinkable happens? and the notion t we weren't doing that or our president hasn't been listening to things that might potentially be a problem and therefore, is he flat footed and doesn't know what to do. look, here is the real problem, sorry. this guy has been president for six years. and so, everybody has watched him for six years and he is very, very the same. is he predictable. is he reactive. is he risk averse how would you like to be playing poker with this guy. isis knows exactly what this guy is going to do. that's the problem. >> he surprised us today by wearing a tie which i thought was a brilliant move. mike. why would they want to pick

a fight just playing devil's advocate? why would its isis want to pick a fight with the most powerful military in the world while they are still consolidating gains in iraq and syria? >> well, here's the problem, that question is part of the issue that we deal with when we are talking about extremists and al qaeda. al qaeda, isis, the mind set is still same. we tend to mirror our thought process, our logic train. are our believes on to our enemies. you end up getting these questions like i'm sure they won't do it. it was hike in the earlier days of the iraq war, i'm sure the sunnies and shiites are never going to find common ground or how to work together or some coordinated fashion against the u.s. they don't think that wait a minute and they have been very clear. as james pointed out, this is not something that happened overnight. it wasn't just suddenly here was isis they overran mosul and now it's a problem. this has been building for a significant period of time. and might i add the military community had been providing reports on it they didn't

gain traction until the thing really got out of control in iraq. we have to stop trying to think about this and trying to figure out, you any, as if they process information. as if they think like we do. that's not the case. and if we continue down that train, we're going to have more problems than we know what to deal with. >> yeah. it gets frustrating when you hear people lecture you about trying to understand evil. james, should the u.s. actually try to work with assad or even putin or iran to try -- i mean, you are trying to pick the worst of everything and get everybody to galvanize around them. is that a wise move? >> well, that was actually the one part of the president's press conference which was actually pretty good where he said look, assad is not the future of this region. he is as evil. you heard the thing, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. well, in the middle east, the enemy of my enemy happens to be be my enemy. assad and iran are huge threats to not just our interests but to the future of that region. the fact is that you have to

be as much working against them as isis. they are all equally bad threats to us. >> people are very very worried about the fact that there are young americans and young brits drawn to isis europeans. i happen to think it's a great thing. in fact, i would like america to sponsor a terrorist transport program where we encourage young extremists to fly to syria for whatever reason and when we get they get there we kill them. it's like a long distance skeet competition. what would be your solution to this kind of boomerang terrorism where these guys are going there and then coming back because they have passports? >> i'm thinking you put a lot of thought into that concept. >> i did. >> this is a problem we have been talking about since 9/11. the extremists efforts to recruit westerners, what do they want? they want people who can cross borders and blend in. this is an extension of that they have gotten better at

it over the years. obviously through social media and whether they make direct or indirect contact with these individuals, as long as they pull them to the dark side, that's a victory for them. we have gotten, at the same time, we have gotten better at trying to track, trying to understand the contact that takes place between impressionable, often unemployed, easily manipulatable and influenced youth, often mailing whether it's here in the u.s. or with our allies. the fact of the matter is that even by state department estimates, there is some 10 to 12,000 foreign fighters with isis right now. probably 2,000 to 3,000 of those are european and north african. the europeans easily transferring across the borders without a visa. so, when we talk about this being a national security issue, it's not some theoretical idea, we don't need another case study to understand what that mobility can mean or whether a it means did isis gains territorial integrity and has the comfort to develop,

plot, plan, recruit and train to reach outside those borders that they develop. >> all right. we have got to go. gentlemen, thank you very much. next on the rundown, why some on the left are saying the isis threat is being overbehind. do they have a point? and is that point on the top of their head? of their head?

in the impact segment tonight, down playing the isis threat. despite the terror groups rampage of death and destruction and its desire for an islamic caliphate that rules over the entire middle east. some people on the left say the dearng from isis is being overblown. apparently, they haven't seen videos like this. >> [speaking foreign language]

>> that's cheerful. joining me for reaction the disillusioned alan colmes. >> am i supposed to be scared of that video? is that supposed to frighten me. >> okay. you frighten me more than that video. >> i understand that i'm an intimidating fellow. >> why is that lefts like you though. >> lefts like me? >> yes. have trouble identifying existential eesm unless it's a stay at home mom where you want to condemn.

they 9/11 about iraq. overreactg into two countries should have been out of afghanistan in three weeks. iraq had -- afghanistan had nothing to do with it. >> chuck hagel says it's the worst thing ever. >> is he a republican chalk hagel. hague is -- hagel is is a republican. >> i don't represent democrats. i'm a liberal. i'm a progressive. >> you represent a weirdo. >> thank you so much, greg. look, let me ask you this. what is the isis threat? what about the isis threat that is being overstated? >> the fact that according to stratfor which is a group

that idolizes geopolitical threats, george freidman says they couldn't beat the kurds in northern iraq. they couldn't beat the shiites in southern iraq. this threat that is being wind up for the purposes of getting american involvement where we go in and who do we side with assad in syria or enemies elsewhere? they might wind up in getting our weapons? do we wind up in another war. >> for what? >> i get it. i guess what it is they are not reaching the colmes level of bar borism. they are not injuries enough for you. are you waiting for genocide? >> i'm not defending isis. i'm not standing up for what they do. >> are you a member of isis. >> i am not. thank you for asking so i'm on the record as saying i am not. >> what do they have to do. >> they have to be a threat to the homeland of the united states of america which they're not according to stratfor and according to many other groups they are not a threat. why is it our battle to be in a fight between shiites and sunnies which has cost us treasure, which has cost

us american lives for a decade now and more? >> did you see the video of the poor guy being beheaded? he was an american. >> yes, yes. god forbid that should happen to anybody. he was a journalist who chose to be in syria. sadly and horribly that happened to him. that doesn't mean that's a threat to the homeland of the united states. >> a lot of people didn't think bin laden was a threat. can can hit us out of iraq. >> threat to bin laden has gone on for 12 years including another surge in afghanistan which we're still in. even though al qaeda has moved on. when have we ever gone in. >> what would have been your reaction to 9/11? would it have been outreach? >> i would have gone in to it afghanistan to the tourist training camps which we were supposed to do, and then once they were gone, we are still in afghanistan 13 years later and al qaeda is not. >> i think what you are saying is wait until it gets really bad and then do something? >> i'm saying wait until it's a true threat to the homeland of the united states. >> here is what i believe, alan.

this is a convenient perspective when you are a talking head and you are not in power. if all of a sudden you became president colmes, your point of view would change immediately which makes your point of view false because the moment lives i'm not sure that american lives are on the line. this is a sunni, shiite issue in a part of the world now the fourth president of president has gone n a row to bomb iraq which continues to cost us all kinds of treasure which we should not be doing. it is not our fight. >> it will be our fight if we don't fight. don't you see that? >> no. we are making it more our fight every time we go in and do this, it comes back to hit us, it becomes more of a problem. we created this problem by going into iraq in the first place, creating al qaeda in iraq which is a reaction to the united states involvement. and isis erodes out of that. we helped create this. >> when i said i was offering you a ride home tonight. >> no more? >> we have got to go alan but thanks. >> i don't think i want to be in that seat. >> up next, a new 2016

presidential poll shows mitt romney destroying the competition in iowa. while he says he isn't running. he may have opened the door on a third run for the white house. when the factor comes right back. if you leave now, i will send alan to your house to sing show tunes.

co-hosts and squash partner bob beckel has no doubts at all about a third presidential run by romney. >> mitt romney will announce he is going to run for president. >> mr. bob predicted in. >> yea. a new presidential poll shows romney crushing competition in iowa should he decide to run again. joining me with all of this from new orleans democrat james carville and from washington, d.c. republican strategist kate obenshain. kate, guy to you first. wouldn't the country and the world be better off if mitt had won and shouldn't that be the plank that he needs to run on, the world is a mess and is he mr. clean? >> i don't know if we would have 4.2% growth in the economy. we would have had the biggest deficit reduction since world war ii. i don't know that i don't know what would have happened. i can say i think there is good chance that he would run. he has run for president twice. i once noted that running for president was like having sex. no one did it once and forgot about it you know he

wants to be president. he has run twice. and i think there is a good chance that he will run again. production' field has republicans field has had a bad year this year, chris christie, scott walker to jeb bush. it looks like it's more of a possibility for him and he may seize it. >> kate, i think that mitt has an excellent chance of winning if he runs against president obama and not hillary. if he had been -- if he had won in 2012 he would have dealt with the russians better because they didn't believe in the re-set. he would have okayed the pipeline. he would have advocated for natural gas. the only down size is he would have been impeached over the irs scandal because is he a republican. and the media would have had him impeached. he wouldn't have made it. what do you make of his chances? well, first of all, i think james carville is the only person in the entire country including barack obama who doesn't think the country would be better off had mitt romney won. i mean, there is no question

about it. there is a lot of buyer's remorse right now which i think is why we are seeing those iowa numbers. people are thinking if anybody else were president, we would be in better shape. i don't necessarily think romney is going to hop into the race. and i disagree with you a little bit. i think he would have a hard time winning. i think he is -- he would make a fine president, of course, but romney just had this inability to understand how destructive the democrat campaign was that it was a campaign based on republicans hate women and we hate black people, we hate poor people oh we hate immigrants too. mitt romney could never quiet grasp that he could never engage and fight effectively and frankly he didn't articulate enough of a compelling vision for the future. maybe he would be able to do that better given the circumstances. i think we are going to be looking at some governors across the country who we haven't seen loot of. not the chris christies not former.

maybe susanna martinez. bobby jindal who people haven't been talking much about. i think there are a lot of folks out there that folks are going to start hearing from after the midterm elections. >> james, imagine you walked out and you hit your head and you woke up and you became a republican. >> i would have to hit more than my head. >> your head is big enough, you could hit anything with it. who would you work for? who would you put your money on in the field? >> what's happened is that a lot of people that look promising have faded if you will. romney would be a classic republican nominee. they always tend to go with old experienced white guy and he is the old experienced white guy right now. >> speaking from an old experienced white guy. >> since 1944, we have always been able to predict a republican nominee. maybe 64 was an example -- an exception, but that was it and the poll in iowa, let me point out, was 170 republican caucus goers, i don't know where we get that that says something about barack obama, everything,

guess, has something to do with barack obama here. but, i think he would be somebody that would be a sirius candidate from the get-go. there some people out there that are also very seriously very competitive. i always thought perry had a good chance. i don't know how these recent events are going to unfold for him. >> kate, my theory is that the republicans actually need to find their obama which is somebody who can persuasively argue their perspective without stepping in it which always been in the issue with republicans at some point they step in something. because the media is so biased against republicans, if you step in something, it's over. do you think that's the case that the republicans need to find a young new fresh voice? you think think they need to signed somebody whether he or she is young or not. something who can compellingly articulate the conservative vision why is freedom such a great thing? we sort of assume people understand that obviously we have not done a great job of explaining it because right

now the majority of americans embrace this vision that actually we need government to help everybody. that a government controlled country is a little bit better than freedom. it's got to be somebody who can put forth that compelling message and yes not step in it but bring new constituencies to the republican party. >> okay. james, kate, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> plenty more ahead as the factor moves along, breezily this evening. a father accused of murdering a drunk driver who killed can his children is then acquitted by a texas jury. it's an amazing story. but should he be walking free? you better stay tuned for this report. factors like diet n negatively impact good bacteria?

stoned and drunk out of his mind. you know, if it were me, all i can tell you is i would probably go get my .357 and go do the same thing to the dirt baggage banger -- bag banger. >> this raises a point. no matter who you are of what political stripe. vigilante justice seems to be so atransactionive is it because we believe that real justice never comes? >> i think that what you have to do, first of all, let me just say that my second son cruise lives in gavelston which is near houston. is he in his mid 20's. he has got a son. he is, you know, he has got jury duty in a couple weeks. if he was on that jury he would feel as his dad would feel or got forbid we're ever in a situation like that, here you have someone with reckless disregard for human life kills you and kills your dreams and then,

you know, there is an arrogance about them. these guys. so i can see dad, there he is. he sees his two dead children, what were they doing? helping dad push his car up a hill. they were yards from their home. the car ran out of gas just because they got to the home and here, whack, comes the gang bangers. the almost spontaneous gesture when you think of the jurors there, i think even if they had a videotape of what happened they would have nullified that verdict. they would have acquitted that poor man. he was in his post verdict demeanor, very gracious and conciliatory and christian in his, you know, i'm sorry, nobody wins here. the family of the victim that's a tragedy, they have lost their son, too. in the heart of hearts, and you heard the applause when this man walked out after the acquittal, that's the sense that everyone -- it's not just texas justice. now, to your question, your point will revenge and

vengeance, i just think that there are some natural instincts that everybody gets. there was plenty of physical evidence in this case. there was plenty of circumstantial evidence in this case. it is pretty clear what happened in this case. the defense was spirited, however, and gave just enough of a hook so the jurors could feel in some ways that well, it's not quite beyond a reasonable doubt. but everybody knows that this man, this dad killed the people who killed his son. >> did he try very hard to say he didn't do it? >> well, you know, he -- he had a very good defense attorney who raised every possible angle he could. >> yeah. >> i think that he did a very professional job of it. but -- it was a pretty slam dunk case. come on, it was pretty obvious. >> yeah. >> they had the shell casing. they didn't have the gun because he threw it away. they had the holster. they had the other spare ammunition in his house. they had his blood as he

leaned in the driver's side window to kill the driver. they had had his blood on the inside of the driver's door. i mean, we know what happened here but in our heart of hearts, hasn't this man suffered enough? he lost his 11-year-old and 12-year-old to what? and the gang banger probably had his half-brother and his cousin in the vehicle. they were called as witnesses. they fled the scene. so defense attorney well maybe they killed the driver. totally illogical but it just gave the jury enough of a hook. >> i get the sense that these days people know that many bad guys get off for heinous crimes. you saw that affluency case and think about o.j. simpson, the people don't serve their full sentences so whether it's due to overor what. people get the sense that people don't serve what they deserve so maybe they thought this guy was going to get out so i'm going to do it. >> you mention o.j. simpson, the case i was infamously involved in, i understand that and it is very similar to that now, the problem

with revenge is, you know, your revenge is my horror. in o.j. simpson's case he was taking revenge against his ex-wife who had a lover in his mind be a the jury was taking revenge against the l.a.p.d. who had just dealt with rodney king. the jury nullified in the simpson case and we find that deplorable. in this case we applaud it that's the danger of vengeance. >> thank you, geraldo. directly ahead, throwing out the facts and replacing it with dismonday nest opinion. why the the media has turned the fergus [ female announcer ] we help make secure financial tomorrows a reality for over 19 million people.

about how if you listen, just listen to the other guy, that's tantamount to treason, and i wanted it see how it played out in ferguson. despite the fact, greg, despite the fact that none of us really knows what went on there, both sides have already reached a verdict. the left, not every single liberal but there is a liberal take on this. >> right. >> and the liberal take is that the kid was black, the cop was white. >> um-huh. >> the kid was unarmed, he got shot six times. the cop is guilty, case closed. >> right. >> on msnbc they had a contributor who said that what ferguson shows is that black boys are about to be they are all under attack. this is insane. this is crazy it's liberal delusion. but while conservatives --

conservatives aren't much better. they at least start out othe sentence by saying let's wait until the facts come in. but i get emails on my web site. they have also reached a verdict. that verdict is the kid was a thug. he robbed the store. the cop had no bad record. the cop is innocent. the kid is guilty. i was a reporter. let me just say. this i was a reporter long enough to know that there are bad 18-year-old kids and there are bad cops. i don't know which is which in this case. all i'm saying is before the facts come in, don't circle the wagons. don't take your side and the other side takes their side because all that does is divide america even more and that cannot be a good thing. >> you know what's interesting, in all cases of life, there are only two sides. people -- when something happens, everybody splits. my theory is that opinion has now become ideology has become a team sport. >> that's right. >> nobody waits for the facts. they immediately put on their uniforms and they get ready to get on the court or

othe field and fight because it's a team. >> that is exactly right. every now and then, not often, greg, you stumble on to a brilliant point. but you are absolutely right. i will be criticized. you know, i don't get hate mail from liberals, i get hail -- hate mail from conservatives when i dare stray from the conservative plantation. and black conservatives they get nailed when they stray from the liberal plantation. that's the way it's become. you can't even consider the other guy's point of view because then you are giving ammunition to the enemy. i want to make clear, i am not making an argument for wishy washy even-handedness. i'm not making an argument for moral eequivalencey. there are some issues that are deeply held. we have some values and principles that we hold deeply and we should hang on to them. but, in ferguson, in ferguson and only in

ferguson, where the facts haven't come in yet. don't as you rightly say put on your uniform and either take this position or that position before you know what really happened. >> you know, i have a theory as well that polarization has become worse because of the media obedience to obama is so devout that any criticism is met with screams of outrage, which then causes the rebound effect. so, in fact, it's the media bias towards obama that has caused it to get even more intense. >> that's a possibility. look. president obama said he was going to unite us. he is the most polarizing president since abraham lincoln anyway. so, you have -- if barack obama were caught on videotape, greg, robbing a bank, on videotape, his liberal supporters would say, hey, the bank was closed. he needed money, if was his money anyway, he made a

deposit last week, what's the big deal? but if barack obama found a cure for cancer tomorrow morning, there are conservatives and we both know that this is true, there are conservatives who would scream and yell because he didn't discover a cure for cancer a year ago. i am sick of it. i have positions on most issues and most of the time they are right of center positions. but, i am sick of this mindless polarization. >> um-huh. i think in a way for many networks, not fox news, the way stories are package sod they are like mini specials with ominous music and serious graphics that demand conclusions before there are facts because they see something happening and they make it into a crisis and then they have got it fill those buckets with people with opinions. not facts. >> yeah. literature and journalism depend on conflict and confrontation. >> yes. >> and it's called good

television. >> right. >> you know. and that's why what you just said, i'm -- frankly i'm shocked. you have made a couple of very good points in this exchange. >> and i'm sober doing it, which is amazing. >> that's why it happens because we need conflict. we need confrontation, it's good television. >> you know what we should do? we should have a polarizing debate on polarization. that's what we should do and scream about it we have got to go, bernie. thanks so much for coming. just some quick house-keeping we want to remind everyone to check out bill o'reilly.com. the american documents sale will soon end and you can get replicas of parchment suitable for framing at a great price. the one on the left is bill's report card from eighth grade. if you are looking for a good book to it read this labor day. be sure to pick up a copy i bill's "killing jesus" remember all of the money from bill o'reilly.com goes to charity, which is not the name of his boat, it's an

actual charity. when the comes right back while scarlet johansson is teaming up with planned parenthood. i can't believe how much she has changed since the prom. has changed since the prom. up ahead. we fill our freshly baked flatbread, with bold, unflat flavors. like taste inspired by the freshness of the mediterranean. so you always get flavor that's anything but flat. new flatbread sandwiches, try one today.

one tried nasacort, which could take up to a week to feel maximum nasal symptom relief. the other took claritin-d,which starts to work on allergies in 30 minutes. the moral: nothing works faster than claritin-d 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. built for business.

joining me now is penny young, the president of concerned women for america do you think this tee shirt is a big deal? if so, why? >> you know, first i want to know why is it when you're a celebrity your opinion counts on everything that is public policy? whether it's foreign diplomacy or the environment. now, apparently abortion is included in the list. look, if planned parenthood wants to design an ugly tee shirt and sell it, that is great i would trade that for them to get their hands out of the taxpayers' pockets and raise their own money. go for it i'm tired of them pilfering the taxpayer. . >> i find it something because

female celebrities think the hobby lobby decision somehow deprives them of birth control. >> they're confused of you can't have it and i'm not paying for it a third of the plaintiffs that filed in the hobby lobby case were women a third of businesses in this country were run by women. women of faith have strong opinions on this issue, too. they called this project women are watching they should call it women who are only watching oprah winfrey for their news this, is about whoim care about what celebrities have to say. so, go for it. raise your own money, stop taking it from taxpayers. >> yes. i've got to go, penny, but i think you've got to take a page out of their playbook. i mean -- >> but that wasn't funny. >> yes. >> and you can maybe come up with something, an arrow saying not aborted?

that would be a great tee shirt, i believe. if you do that, i get 10%. >> i take that under advisement. i'd love to design the next tee shirt. >> if i have free time over the weekend. >> coming up how angelina jolie and brad pitt finally made my dreams come true. stay tuned. ♪ it was the best day -[ laughing ] -yeah! ♪ it was the best day ♪ it was the best day yeah! ♪ it was the best day ♪ 'cause of you we make a great pair. -[echoing] great pair. -huh? progressive and the great outdoors! we make a great pair. right. totally. uh, that's what i was thinking.

and remember the spin stops here because we're looking out for you. and you. and you. but not you. not you. breaking tonight, growing concern about the unchecked threat from the world's most dangerous terror group. as the president came out late today and admitted, and i quote, we don't have a strategy for dealing with these barbarians. welcome to "the kelly file," everyone. i'm megyn kelly. for four years now members of the military and intelligence communities have been watching an al qaeda offshoot now known as isis. they warned the administration with increasing alarm over the last 12 months as the terrorist army gathered fighters, money and equipment and launched a horrific and bloody campaign to capture a portion of iraq and syria that is now the size of belgium. this covers extensively how they took over the
