the remains of holly bobo have been found not far from her home in decatur. she vanished in april of 2011. her disappearance touched off massive search by authorities and volunteers. police say holly's skull was found sunday near property owned by the family of suspect zachary adams. he and another man now face murder and kidnapping charges. call it a national priority for the u.s., president obama is now pledging more american assistance in the fight against the ebola outbreak. the president says the u.s. military will donate isolation units and equipment in west africa. doctors there say the deadly virus is spreading with ever growing speed. i'm robert gray. now stay tuned for hannity. 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. but first, senior officials are now saying the administration is preparing a three-phase campaign to destroy the isis terror network, which could outlast the eremainder 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 wednesday? >> 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 jv 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" suggested he was not referring to isis when he talked about the jv squad in that new yorker interview. but when josh earnest made a

similar claim recently, "the new york post" 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 get pressed on why if the president was dismissing them as the jv just a few months ago, he is now this week laying out what they're billing as a pretty dramatic strategy to deal with this enemy that's only grown in uninfluence in recent months.

>> 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, which has inflamed the right previously, it's only going to get conservatives motived to vote in these mid terms. and the white house was concerned that they would get the blame for losing control of

the senate if in fact he acted 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 the white house tomorrow, he's 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. >> all right. ed, great work today at the white house. thank you very much. >> 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 greta van susteren is revealing how she personally was pressured by the white house to get fox news to back down on the benghazi coverage. here to explain exactly what happened is the host of "on the record" 7:00 eastern here on fox, greta van susteren. what a story >> our colleague reported there was a stand down issue ordered

at benghazi and apparently the administration didn't like it. so one night i was sitting in my office, minding my own business, getting ready for the 10:00 p.m., a slot that you now occupy, i get a phone call from someone high up in the obama administration, someone i'd known for years and said say tell jennifer griffin to stop reporting that. and i said why? because 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. and so then she got hit by many news outlets for reporting this. i suspect the obama administration had gone to those other news organizations, maybe trashed jennifer. but lo and behold, now we've had this interview by bret baier, and it turns out jennifer was

going to her job, she was going to the sources. 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. >> no, but the important aspect here -- there is an implied threat there, we don't want to hurt her career, she was right on every point, as we both know her as a great reporter. >> don't forget two other things. 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, they apologize. then about a week later, the cia had a briefing on the langley campus. guess which news organization was not invited? fox news. so, you know, it's peculiar. the more aggressively we pursued this, the more difficult it seemed to get. 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

what did they say? that had they gone earlier, they believe the lives of these people had been saved. so 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 silly video story, and the president was saying it on "the view," and you have 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. you know, that's my problem, it's what they did after. why were they so insistent that we just not report on it? >> yeah, greta, thanks for coming forward. an important part of the story people need to know.

the pressure that administration 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. >> first, let me start with a comment that he made, well, it was bad optics, giving 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 jv team. then, you know, this incoherent strategy, that he said we have to strategy. and then he 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 it became well 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 daily 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 and end state. >> but he didn't clarify that 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 battlefield and it's not just rubric and hubris and the rest of this.

we actually have clear capabilities. >> last question. 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. when we all know it was an act of terror. why do you think he'll change now? >> i don't know. 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 on this very busy news night tonight 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. plus, 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." despe 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 isis is exactly 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."

patrick j. buchanan, sir, how you? >> fine. >> 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, i will

say this, you said we got to win the war. the president in a post-vietnam era -- here's my conrn. 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 we would have eseen isis coming. 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. >> all right. 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 overstayed 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. we're going to use energy to jump-start the economy. >> i'll tell you what they ought to do. >> an inspiring vision. >> 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 inspiring vision, they're not nationalizing the elections about the economy, about the energy, about securing the borders, about an alternative to health care. simple. >> some of them want the amnesty to get the issue behind them. >> that's true. >> a lot of chamber of commerce conservatives will say let obama do it, it will be gone for 2016. we can focus on capital gains tax cuts. >> pat buchanan, thank you. >> thank you. coming up, a new startling report about the rise of radical islam right here on american soil. imam saddiq is back for what will undoubtedly be a debate. later, the baltimore ravens running back ray rice is now out of a job. his contract terminated after this video surfaced of him actually punching his then-fiancee now-wife back in february. espn's steven smith will be here

welcome back to "hannity." according to a report by "new york post", a mosque also had ties to several suspected terrorists and terrorist supporters, including ahmad abu sam ra, 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. the isb was never contacted for a statement for even for verification. 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 now with reaction, terrorism expert steve emerson, and immadge ma'am mohammed saddiq is back with us. mr. saddiq, did you ever get to answer the question that hamas has in their charter, the obliteration of israel? i've asked you twice now since you've been on the program. you said you'd look into it. will tonight you now acknowledge they'r >> no, i will not. >> have you read the charter yet? >> i bear to but one witness, allah. i want to offer condolences, again, to the sotloff family and to the family of foley. >> i asked you a question. you've been on twice. denied that hamas is a terrorist organization. i asked you the 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'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. you know, there is two sides to that story. there are two sides to that story. and you only tell one side. >> i'm not telling one side. i'm reading from their charter. >> bring me here for something other than a sound bite. >> okay. i will ask you back again. maybe you'll educate yourself and read hamas' charter. steve emerson, why is there reluctance of some in the muslim community to acknowledge 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. saddiq 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 -- that don't have the courage to speak out. like when the catholic church had its problems, i'm a catholic, i spoke out and spoke out loudly. i would think that all muslims do not want these radicals

representing their religion or hijacking their religion. >> here's the problem, sean. it might not be correct or politically correct to say, this but the people who control the education of religion, the communication, the television are the jihadists. not all of them are violent, but they believe in islamic supremacy. from the university to al jazeera to the muslim brotherhood. so the muslim bureau brotherhood, even though it condemns isis cannot be considered a moderate a group. that's the problem. we've compartmentalized 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 for adultery could be stoning to death under sharia. many women can't drive in

countries under sha' ria. they can't be seen in public with men that they're not related to. do you condemn sharia that is used in the name of your religion? >> i can't condemn sharia. i can condemn the misunderstanding of how sharia -- >> so they're not killed -- as an apostate -- not given the death penalty in that country? because the answer is yes. >> there's a whole lot of misunderstanding overseas -- that is sick. you need to concentrate on the positive. >> do you think sharia in your religion -- >> try to work with the positive side of what this government is trying to do. >> do you think four male eyewitnesses for rape -- >> why don't you concentrate on the beautiful thing that the muslims are doing, working with christian, working with jews. >> can i ask you? i got a question. >> sure, you have a question. >> women under sharia in some countries need four male eyewitnesses for rape. is that okay? is that an okay interpretation of your koran and your religion? >> sean, first of all i don't know if you're reading it right. do you read arabic? >> i don't read arabic.

but i've read the koran. >> you might not be reading it right. >> i have a whole list of quotes here in the quran. i can go through them with you about jihad, infidel, holy war. >> invite me in for a meaningful program where we have some time and we can share some wonderful things. >> do you want to do a half hour together and come in studio? >> i would love to do that, sean. >> all right. we'll they can that happen. >> and i'll give you what you want. >> can i ask 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 koran as to justify islamic supremacy. and that 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. >> if you're killed you're an apostate and i can't bring it up. >> but if you talk about white racism, that's encouraged. >> i got to go. thank you both. 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, the one and only stephen a. smith is here in studio. ♪ i'm m-a-r-y and i have copd.

click or call. 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 which was 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 the story initially broke, the nfl suspended rice 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, stephen 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 is news and espn analyst also the host from siriusxm mad dog 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 a woman. >> true. you and i have spoken about this on radio. we have spoken about it ad nauseam. >> but i know and i know you meant that and 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 recognize 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 needs 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. >> yep. >> now the ravens don't -- he is 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 stallworths of the world who committed vehicular manslaughter, and they

ultimately ended up having to deal with that, with the ramifications of that. they ended up back in the league. you have a lot of things and a lot of people who have been affiliated with the nfl who have been involved. 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. i think he'll be back in the league. but not this season. >> but that woman was his fiancee then. >> and she is wife now. >> she is wiz wife today. >> that's right. i'm not an expert. i can't speak on that. you're going to have a lot of people in the domestic violence community that will tell you there is a bevy of reasons why a woman who had that happen would turn around and mare something 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. >> okay. so the question is what does he have to do?

and is -- look, the league's been involved in a major reachout 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. and your boy mark 11 levin. be clear, michael vick showed appropriate level of contrition, he spoke out against it. he didn't dodge any questions. he got mentoring, right people around him. but more importantly michael vick who i do know personally and speak to often, michael vick has never shied away from the accountability he harbored in all of this. and america sees that. and that's why it's easier to

absorb him being back in the league. ray rice can't hide. he's got to be front and center communicating with folks in the domestic violence community. he needs to be out, quick, front and center. and acknowledge, you know what, i deserve this. let me take my comeuppance. >> stop picking on my guy tebow. he belongs in the nfl. he's being punished because he's got a strong christian faith. >> you are entitled to your feelings, but you are quick to say that i don't know that much about politics compared to you. i would say the same thing about you with sports when it comes to me. stay in your lane. >> touche. >> will you stay out of my lane? >> no. of course not. >> see you. thank you. coming up, isis' demands, iraqi christians convert or die. so president obama is going to address the speech on wednesday. when we come back, david limbaugh is here to talk about that in his brand new book straight ahead.

twisted version of islam all too common. a lawyer confirms the truth of the gospel. david limbaugh, how you, sir? >> great. >> convert or die that is the strategy. what is your reaction to the simultaneous rise of radical islam, anti anti-semitism. >> i think in this country we need to be aware that it's going on, quit denying it, get an administration that is sensitive to what is going on. this administration doesn't even appear it has a clue about the dangers of islam. and wants to candy coat it, redefines the war on terror as a con cou contingency. you got to know your enemy to defend yourself. >> christianity is now under fierce attack. you wrote an earlier book, "persecution."

it was a best seller. and our entire country, and now throughout the world, and that goes to a passion of yours, which is obviously your faith. you talk on your book, you're on a sporadic spiritual journey that changed lives. >> yes. i always believed in god. i think it's so obvious. and you and have i talked about the glories of the creation. and the idea that this just happened spontaneously i think defies common sense. but i wasn't sure i bought into the truths of christianity. and so i had doubts about evil and suffering in the world and the different science questions. so i embarked on a personal study. and it took me years and years to examine the truth claims of christianity and the evidence that has been deduced. the field of christian apologetics, which seeks to defend the faith. and then theology itself. i study those and i concluded that christianity is true. its true claims are true, that jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. and it's important i think that

we understand that, that jesus was a real historical figure. he really died. he really lived a sinless life. >> you approach this intellectually as the lawyer that you are. >> yeah. >> and you sort of are making a legal case. >> yes. >> about this. why did you approach it from that angle? and you even point out how many in the world, they look down on christianity. they mock it. >> yes. and a lot of people think that we're anti-science, anti-intellectual. and it's quite the contrary there are so many -- in fact, one of the things that took my attention, grabbed my attention from the very first 20 or 30 years ago was seeing robbie zacarias, one of the most brilliant people i've seen, talking about the gospel on tv. and i letter met him and became a good friend. but there is evidence that we can examine with our critical factors, we don't suspend our critical faculties. we don't suspend our rationality. we don't suspend our reason. we eexamine the evidence. >> just the opposite.

>> and there more evidence, it takes more faith to believe that some of these things just happened. when you look at the science supporting it, sean. >> if you leave believe, for example, if you're an atheist, don't you have to believe something comes out of nothing? or you see the majesty of creation, which you go into detail and you think this happened randomly? >> that's right. science now, the developments in science have shown that there was a beginning to the universe. so the darwinists and the other materialists and naturalists can no longer say we had an infinite amount of time plus chance to producing? . there had to be a beginning there just hasn't been enough time in the history of the universe, even as a expansively calculated. >> even one cell. >> yes, the cell is so complex, it's irreducibly complex which points to an intelligent designer. but you also have the an thropic principal. this universe was fine-tuned to

accommodate life, and life on earth. you can't believe. if we were any closer to the sun, if the stars were positioned differently, if our magnetic forces were a little off. >> it's all science you're talking about. >> we have nothing to fear from science. the atheists and the agnostics, the nonbelievers, they are the ones who won't ascience to take them where it will believe because they have anti-a supernatural predispositions that won't allow them to believe. it scares the pants off them. >> i got to be honest. this was the single most compelling case that i've ever made for the faith that i share with you. but it's david limbaugh. you can see it right there.
