true. 9:00 p.m. eastern set your dvr. in the meantime go to facebook.com/t facebook.com/thekellyfile. thanks for watching everyone. this is "the kelly file." welcome to "hannity." this is a fox news alert. bomb shell reports tonight out of the nfl, one of the league's biggest names, ray rice, has been released from the baltimore ravens and indefinitely suspended by the nfl after new video surfaced of him punching his then-fiancee in an elevator before dragging her out. we're going to have more later with espn's steven a. smith. officials are now saying the administration is preparing a three-phase campaign to destroy the isis terror network which could outlast the remainder of president obama's term in office. the president is expected to address the nation on wednesday and inform the american people of his strategy. fox's own ed henry is standing by at the white house tonight. he has the details. ed, first it's no strategy then

it's degrade and destroy, then it's, well, we need an international coalition and then it's managing the threat and then chase them to the gates of hell. what's going to happen on we say? >> sean, as you lay that out, you're right the president fumbled his first couple of attempts if you will to sort of explain this strategy to the american people. it took three news conferences over about a week here at the white house all the way over to europe before he did finally settle on that strategy. now as we press for details about what he'll say wednesday to flush all of that out, the white house is being very vague. all they're really saying is what he will not say, which is that he will not send in u.s. combat troops to either iraq or syria. that leaves the door open to what you referred to as that three-part strategy, continue the u.s. air strikes in iraq number one. number two, try to stand up the iraqi government so they can start taking care of some of this on their own, their own military take care of business. third, potentially expanding the u.s. air strikes into syria. and as you say officials are saying the president will lay out the idea that this could be

a long campaign, maybe up to three years that would span into the next administration, democrat or republican. fascinating because this suggests a long battle with an enemy that the president just back in january suggested was the jayvee squad. the bottom line is josh earnest today was pressed by me and others about the fact that the president's interview with nbc's "meet the press" he was not referring to isis when he was talking about the jayvee squad. but when josh earnest -- gave him four pinocchios. something i pressed earnest about. why do you and the president continue to say something proven to be false? >> it's not proven to be false. the president was describing the wide variety of extremist groups that have sprouted up over the last several years in this region of the world. some have greater capabilities than others. some do not pose a threat to the homeland. >> now, politifact has declared that this is false because they say they reached out to the new

yorker magazine and found out that the context was that in this january 7th interview the president was referring in part to what had happened four days later, which is the islamic state taking over the iraqi city of fallujah. so the bottom line is they're going to get pressed on this. and they're going to getmf]wç pd on why if the president was dismissing them as the jayvee just a few months ago he's now this week laying out what they're billing as a pretty dramatic strategy to deal with this enemy that's only grown in influence in recent months, sean. >> real quick, ed, two quick questions. number one, is senators rand paul and ted cruz, they're demanding that the president go to congress if there's going to be any use of force as it relates to isis. and secondly, the president delaying executive action on immigration, the cynical side of me says all politics. he denied it this weekend. >> he denied it's about politics. but look, if you look at the calendar, it's the president himself who set this timetable back in june that the republicans on capitol hill had not moved on comprehensive immigration reform. he said that forced his hand.

that was his explanation for saying i'm going to take executive action, unilateral action to reform the immigration system without congress. in june he said, look, i'm going to do that. i've asked my cabinet to look at what we can do legally and we'll do it by the end of the summer. then he pulled back. what happened in recent weeks? senate democrats came to the white house and said if the president takes more unilateral action, it's only going to get conservatives motivated to vote in thiez med terms and the white house concerned they'd get the blame for losing control of the senate if in fact he angted now. so they're pushing past the midterm elections. there's not just pressure from republicans. some democrats have said come to capitol hill, get an authorization of military force and by also being vague saying when the president has the house and senate, democratic and republican hill leaders here at theçh1 white house tomorrow, h going to sort of get what they call buy-in. they're not committing they'll actually seek a vote for authorization of military force. there's a debate still going to play out here.

>> ed, dpraet work today at the white house. >> thank you. >> it's tho secret that the administration has continuously tried to play down the benghazi terror attack that left four innocent americans dead. now my colleague and friend revealing how she personally was pressured by the white house to get vox news to back down on the benghazi coverage. here to explain exactly what happened is the voes of "on the record" 7:00 eastern here on fox, gretta van susteren. >> our colleague reported there was a stand down issue ordered at benghazi and apparently the administration didn't like it. i was getting ready for my 10:00 p.m. slot that you now occupy i get a call from someone high up in the obama administration someone i'd known for years and say tell yen fer griffin to stop reporting and iñ#swy said why be she's wrong, and worried about her career. i said since when? so i said give me the proof.

tell me how she's wrong. the person didn't give me the proof, but i hung up, called jennifer griffin and told her about my phone call, jennifer says i have several sources but i can't reveal them. she's a good journalist. she didn't reveal them. she got hit by many news outlets for reporting this. i suspected the obama administration went to other news organizations, maybe trashed jennifer, now we've had this interview by bret baier and the sources have come forward and turned out she was doing her job and going to the sources it was just she had to keep quiet and take criticism from others she was essentially making it up. i saw that as dirty. the obama administration trying to get me to shut down jennifer griffin. jennifer griffin doesn't take marching orders from me, sean. >> well, we don't want her to hurt her career, she was right on every point. we both know her as a great reporter. >> don't forget two other things. the state department had a briefing a couple days after

benghazi. every news organization was on that except they excluded fox news and the other news organizations called us. the state department said it was an oversight and apologize. about a week later the cia had a briefing on the langley press conference. guess who wasn't invited? fox news. we got an awful lot of pushback from the obama administration. >> and, gretta, no youtube video, no spontaneous demonstration and a stand down order given. in bret's interview i thought was fabulous on friday night rkts had they gone earlier they believe the lives of these people had been saved. it took two years to actually talk to those people on the ground at the time that knew the truth from the beginning. >> i will say this, i suspect everybody was very confused that night. and my beef with the obama administration is not with what happened there as they're trying to decide what to do and they don't want to send people in who might get killed themselves. my beef with them is what they did afterwards.

that sill video story and the president saying it on "the view" and susan rice and everybody else. us being excluded from briefing calls from the state department, cia, me getting this bizarre call to try to shut down my colleague who's reporting something she has adequately and completely sourced. why were they soin sis sent that we just not report on it? >> yeah. thanks for coming forward. an important part of the story people need to know. the pressure that administrations sometimes put on reporters. great job. thank you. >> thank you, sean. we turn our coverage back to the isis terror threat and what we can expect to hear from the president when he addresses the nation on wednesday. with me to talk about that and much more fox news military analyst retired four-star general jack keane. jack, good to see you, sir. how are you, general? >> good to be here today, sean. >> let me start with the comment made it was bad optics given a three-minute talk about the beheading of james foley and then going to play golf. i see that as different than bad optics. i see that as almost cold and

callous and frankly out of touch that he should have been in the situation room. your reaction. >> well, i'm not sure he needed to be in the situation room. but certainly following an emotional and passionate speech that he gave about the loss of life of mr. foley and such horrific barbaric fashion. and then to just rush back out on the golf course i clearly think was inappropriate. >> when you look at the president, we learned last week from our own catherine herridge that in his own presidential briefings for over a year was given in their words granular details of the threat that isis was posing as they began to gain ground in syria and then later in iraq. and yet the president never acted. never asked any questions. referred to them as the jayvee team. then, you know, this incoherent vat ji, then we have no strategy, then talked about we're going to degrade and kill

them off basically. then it became an international coalition. then chase them to the gates of hell and then we'll tell you wednesday and we'll manage the threat. what do you make of all these mixed messages? a lack of a plan a year later he could have prevented what happened in iraq, couldn't he have? >> i don't think he necessarily would have been able to prevent it. the fact of the matter is we could have done so much better with it. from the time that the attack took place in fallujah and then in mosul, we could have been hitting isis pretty hard. and we should have been. i'm the chairman of the institute for the study of war, we've been tracking isis for years on a daily basis. there's no secret there, no secret in the intelligence agencies about the growing menace that isis represented every six months it increased in size and scale, took more territory. so clearly that is a fact that this was well known to everyone and certainly to the white house.

i cannot imagine the president of the united states was not aware of it. >> apparently got the presidential briefing, it was there for a year. what i was suggesting is if we kept our intelligence and provided it to the iraqi troops, continue training for the iraqi troops, we could have prevented it because we could have seen it coming. why would anyone though have faith in a president that has been weak on syria, weak on iraq, weak on crimea, weak on ukraine, weak on china, weak on iran and weak on hamas. why would anyone have faith that regardless of what he says will contradict all his prior statements on isis, why would we have faith in him? >> well, i think we want to have faith in our president, sean. we only have one. i think we're rooting for this guy to get it right. i have the same problems that you have with everything you just it rated. but fact of the matter is i'm hoping that the equivocation is over, he has stated an in-state which is defeat isis, that is an

appropriate goal -- >> he said i need an international coalition and we can manage the threat. again, incoherent. >> he needs an international coalition. that is something we should be doing and we should be leading that. now, he has to push that coalition and get out and make certain those capabilities that are inside those countries actually show up on a rubric and -- >> the president steadfastly refused the term war to describe the nature of what this conflict is just as the president refuses to talk about a war on terror or even define ft. hood as anything other than workplace violence. >> i'm mystified why he would not use the term war to describe what we're doing. we'll see how he refers to it on

wednesday. clearly the fact of the matter is this, we are going to lead a coalition effort and conduct an air war in iraq to be sure and hopefully in syria as well. that is a war. the fighter pilots who were conducting that as well as isis who's on the receiving end of it certainly know it is a war. we are also going to provide support for a ground war in iraq and also in syria. now, we're not leading that effort. but we're supporting that effort. and we're going to find ourselves supporting it considerably more than what we are currently doing. >> too little too late, general, at this point. but we got to do it. you're right. appreciate you being with us. coming up tonight right here on "hannity". >> there was no credible information on september 10th, 2001 that al qaeda was going to hit. >> a chilling warning that the threat of isis and what it poses to our homeland. pat buchanan, he'll weigh in next. and shocking new video surfaces of ray rice punching and then dragging his fiancee out of an elevator. he's now been suspended indefinitely from the nfl. tonight, steven a. smith is here

to weigh in on that decision. and david limbaugh on his brand new book straight ahead. it's monday. 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.

welcome back to "hannity." despite some officials including the commander in chief insisting isis does not pose a credible threat to our homeland yet while others continue to sound the alarm on the radical islamic group's capabilities. take a listen to these chilling warnings and keep in mind they come just days before the 13th anniversary of the september 11th attacks. >> isis is a major threat to this country in the future and right now to the entirety of syria and iraq and the expanding caliphate. i think where they're going is to baghdad.

it is my belief they will try to attack our embassy. >> there is no credible information on september 10th, 2001, that al qaeda was going to hit us. the threat from isistly what fran said it was. it is them directing an american citizen or a canadian or a west european to come here and conduct a small scale attack. that could happen tomorrow. with or without credible information. >> here with reaction is the author of the "new york times" best seller "the greatest comeback, how richard nixon rose from defeat." what part of the president not realizing if you behead americans and you're saying we'll see you in new york and we're going to raise the flag of islam in your white house, what part of that not being a war does this president not understand? because that sounds like war to me that they're at war with us. >> no doubt when you behead two americans like that and do it on video and send it to the americans and taunt them, that is not only an insult to the united states, it's an outrage

and atrocity. and we should really hammer them hard. as soon as that happens, sean, and the severe and extensive in our attacks. now, they're a threat to the united states however i think is much more like the al qaeda threat. it's a threat of individual acts of terrorism of people that have been over there being moved out and moved over here. so i think there's two different kinds of threats. >> you know, pat, you and i, we even had one or two knockdown dragout fights over the issue of the iraq war. but once we were in it, you said this, we've got to win the war. the president in a post-vietnam era -- here's my concern. is that we have now politicized war to the point where we can't win it. and all the president needed to do was keep intelligence on the ground, keep training on the ground for iraqi forces. and i tell you that fallujah, tikrit, mosul and these other cities wouldn't have fell because we would have been able to stop it. do you agree with that part? >> i agree with the surge.

i didn't want to see the united states in war in 2006 and 2007. i do agree if you had 10,000 americans in there right now that isis wouldn't be doing as well in iraq as it's doing. i also agree, sean, that we can use american air power. where i do disagree is this, i think a lot of these terrorists want americans to send another big army over there into syria, into iraq where we create as many terrorists as we kill. look, there are about a million troops in the turkish, syrian, iraqi and kurdish armies. they can deal with isis on the ground. america should be restricted to air power. >> let me go to the threat here at home. did you see today in the news that saudi arabia is actually building a fence on the iraqi border, a fence that we should be building on our southern border? i've always said and you've been so outspoken on the issue of immigration, the biggest need to control our borders is the fact that we've got terrorists that can enter this country. when i was down getting briefed by rick perry and a team of border agents down there, they

were telling me they're capturing people from yemen, syria, afghanistan, pakistan. how important if we really want to prevent another 9/11 is it that we secure that border and make it a single top priority now? >> well, sean, look, we've seen terrorists come through the canadian border, which is much more secure. here we've got 2,000 miles of border where 13 million people or something have walked into the united states. others have come in here and oversaid their visas. look, this issue is about the future of the united states. and as you mentioned in the short-term it's about the security of the united states. look, if you got terrorists you wanted to have walk into the united states easily, you'd find some spot along that border and send them in. for the life of me i don't know why the republican party has not been -- >> i have no idea. >> -- ironclad on this issue for 25 years. >> their strategy according to roll call today is play it safe until the elections. i think they ought to be saying we're going to control the border, we're going to have the penny plan and stop spending money we don't have.

use energy to jump start the economy. >> they ought to also hammer the president of the united states who's going to give an executive amnesty to 7 million people after the election -- >> he's delaying it, but he's going to do it. so what's the difference? >> every democrat should be put on notice to answer whether he supports this unconstitutional, illegal action which usurps the power of the united states. look, we had a battle in 2007 about amnesty and it was in the congress and our side won, sean. our side won. now the president can do it by executive order? i think the republicans ought to raise the devil about it. >> but they're not going to do it, pat, because they're playing it safe. no one's firing vision, they're not nationalizing the elections

first prescription free at mybreo.com welcome back to "hannity." according to a report by "new york post" also had ties to several suspected terrorists and terrorist supporters including abousamra, the man believed to

be the top propaganda for isis. we reached out -- yesterday the "new york post" published a sensational article about our mosque full of many half truths and inaccuracies which has unfortunately been used by other agencies. we'd like to now clarify this issue. in fact, according to our records abousamra never came to or had any relationship with our mosque. now, the post article also mentioned several individuals where the mosque could not confirm or deny had attended services. so should we be monitoring more closely who's attending these so-called places of worship? joining me steve emerson and mohamed sadik is back with us. did you ever get to answer the question that hamas, which has in their charter the obliteration of israel, i asked you twice now since you've been on the program, they have in their charter to obliterate

israel. will tonight you now acknowledge they're a terror organization? >> i will not. >> have you read the charter yet? >> i bear witness to one good, allah. i want to offer condolences, again, to the sotloff family and to the family of foley. let them know that -- >> you've been on twice, i asked you to read their charter -- >> what i know about hamas, they're not a terrorist organization. >> what you know about hamas. but their charter calls for "the obliteration of israel and jews." >> i have nothing to do with their charter. i know that the democratic -- >> but you're not acknowledging a terror group for what they are. >> i'm not afraid. i won't identify anybody i do not believe -- >> if somebody wants to obliterate an entire country, a group of people, what part of that being terror don't you understand when they fire 4,000 rockets into israeli towns and

cities? >> i'm not going to get into that. there are two sides to that story. there are two sides and you only tell one side. >> i'm reading from their charter. steve emerson -- >> bring me in for a real program -- bring me in for something other than a sound bite. >> sound bites? i will ask you back again. maybe you'll educate yourself and read hamas' charter. steve emerson, why is there this reluctance to acknowledge in some -- in the muslim community radicalism? >> you know what, sean, there's not just a problem in the muslim community. it's a problem within various sectors in american society. under this administration the term radical islam is prohibited from being used. it's not used at all. in fact, prosecutors have had hard times using the word jihad in the indictments of islamic terrorists. so the fact is not only do we have it in the islamic community where imams like mr. sadik should be directly involved in combatting extremism. that's the only way to stop the

growing number and proliferation of young muslims who want to join isis -- >> but here's my question, steve. why is there -- i would argue there are too few people that are moderate muslims who don't like the hijacking by radical -- like when the catholic church had its problems, i'm a catholic, and i spoke out loudly. i would think all muslims would not want these radicals hijacking their religion. >> here's the problem, it might not be correct to say this, but the people who control the education, of religion, of communication, of television, are the jihadists. not all of them are violent, but they believe in islamic supremacy. muslim brotherhood, even though it condemns isis cannot be considered a moderate group. all of these groups, and this is the problem, we compartmentalize

all of these groups into different organizations as if they're not connected to one another under the rubric of radical islam. >> let me ask the imam sadik here. shar' ia law -- those that convert to another religion, the penalty for them is death. the penalty for many people under sharia is they're gay is death. the penalty could be stoning to death. many women can't drive in countries under sha' ria. do you condemn? >> i can't condemn sharia. i can condemn the misunderstanding of how -- >> so they're not killed -- as an apostate -- >> there's a whole lot of misunderstanding overseas -- >> do you think -- >> try to work with the positive side of what this government is

trying to do. you're so busy worrying about them -- why don't you concentrate on the beautiful thing that the muslims are doing -- >> why don't you answer my question? i got a question. >> sure you have a question. >> women under sharia in some countries need four male eyewitnesses for rape. >> sean, first of all i don't know if you're reading it right. do you read arabic? >> i don't read arabic. >> you might not be reading it right. >> i have a whole list of quotes here in the quran. >> invite me in for a meaningful program where we have some time -- >> do you want to do a half hour together and come in studio? >> i would love to do that, sean. >> we'll make that happen. >> and i'll give you what you want. >> something here. the point is when the imam said you're not reading it right.

this goes to the heart of the debate. the fact he refuses to say hamas is a terrorist group i think means he's reading it right. the fact is these people like him, not all muslims, it's how you interpret it and the fact is these people, these extremists, whether they're violent or nonviolent, interpret the quran as to justify islamic supremacy and ultimately leads to -- >> women are stoned to death, steven. women can't drive. four male eyewitnesses for rape. women are treetded like second class citizens. gays are murdered. >> if you're talked about this, you're accused of being islamic phobic. but if you talk about white racism, that's encouraged. >> i got to go. i'm sorry. i'm out of time. coming up, baltimore ravens star running back ray rice has been terminated after newly released security footage actually shows him punching his then-fiancee, now-wife, in an elevator back in february. coming up next steven a. smith here in studio with reaction.

this a fox news alert. star running back ray rice has been fired by the baltimore ravens and suspended indefinitely by the nfl after a new video surfaced showing rice knocking out his then-fiancee janay palmer in a hotel elevator over the offseason. the video uncovered by tmz earlier today shows rice, watch right there, punch palmer right in the face knocking her unconscious. and then subsequently dragging her limp body out of the elevator. you may recall when this story initially broke the nfl suspended rice for only two games. now, that all changed today. and one of the league's biggest stars is now out of a job for what could be the remainder of his career. my next guest, steven a. smith, he got in a little bit of hot water. he made this remark about the incident back in july. >> we keep talking about the guys. we know you have no business putting your hands on a woman. i don't know how many times i

got to reiterate that. but what i've tried to employ the female members of my family, some of who you all met and talked to and what have you, again, this is what -- i've done this all my life. let's make sure we don't do anything to provoke wrong actions because if i come -- or somebody else come, law enforcement officials, your brother or the fellas that you know, if we come after somebody has put their hands on you, it doesn't negate the fact that they already put their hands on you. so let's try to make sure that we can do our part in making sure that that doesn't happen. >> so what does he have to say about these new developments? here with more host from sirius xm mad dog host sports radio, steve -- i was angry over how you were treated. and i'll tell you why. because i watched the whole tape.

you said it again and again and again. no man has any business ever putting a hand on a woman period, period, period. you said it so many times. and people i felt purposely took that out of context. >> well, that's what happens. unfortunately, i mean, when you're in this position, i mean, big boy rules, sometimes people misinterpret what you say. at the same time, again, i have a license to make sure i articulate myself clearly. that's not a problem -- >> would you say that differently today? >> i would say that differently today to make sure i'm not coming across to anybody -- >> but how many times can you say no business putting hand on -- >> you and i have spoken about this on radio and at nauseam. >> but i know and i know you pent that, i know you live that. >> yes, i do. i've never put my hands on a woman. never would. and when i think about ray rice and what he has suffered from today, he deserves the punishment that has been handed down. that video was very alarming. >> one more question, we'll start with the video.

janay rice actually tweeted out back in may before you made your comments in july, and she said that she deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident. i assumed when you were saying what you said on espn that you were referring to what she's saying. >> well, to some degree absolutely. but at the same time, again, i look at it from the perspective of making sure everybody understands that you've got to be a real straight up punk as a man to put your hands on a woman. >> ever. >> ever. but at the same time -- >> i learned that growing up with three older sisters. >> i have four older sisters as you well know. there's no question. but you also have to rcognize that there are some men out there who will do that any way. and that's why they need to be dealt with. and they need to be dealt with harshly. >> what bothers me is that when they shut you down, i felt here's a real topic that really neds to be dealt with, real life situation. men need to hear your message of never, ever under any circumstances. and now everyone's going to kind of be afraid to talk about it.

i watch this video, it breaks -- it's got to break your heart. >> yeah, it does. >> now the question, they suspended him for two games. now the ravens -- he's out of the nfl. >> yes, he is. >> does he get back in ever? >> i think it's possible that he'll get back in. not this season no question about it he's nuclear. nobody will touch him right now. you have to consider the fact that michael vick with the whole dog fighting scandal, serving 18 months in a federal penitentiary, he's back in the league. the dante stal worth, they ultimately ended up having to deal with that with the ramifications of that, they ended up back in the league. you've got a lot of things and a lot of people that have been associated with the nfl that have been involved in -- lawlessness. not only that america is the land of second chances. as long as you show the appropriate level of contrition and you take the necessary steps. >> and it's got to be real. >> like i said, appropriate level of contrition. >> but that woman was his fi

yawn say then -- >> i can't speak to that. there's reasons as to why a woman would turn around and marry somebody like that. that's their personal relationship. i'm not even qualified to speak on that. i do know this. today, ray rice suffers but also ray rice -- >> do you know ray personally? >> no, i do not. i met him a couple of times but do not know him personally. >> the question is what does he have to do. and, look, the league's been involved in a major reach out to women to get them more involved in the game and the pink everything. very successful. i think the right thing to do. the question is here if they let him back in. >> uh-huh. >> does that go away? >> i don't think it ever goes away. but i think that michael vick is a prime example. if you talk about somebody has resurrected themselves just as a man, as a human being, i don't know of any better example than michael vick. >> and i love dogs as much as anybody. >> that's right.
