years ago and two years ago, today, hope you'll set your dvr and record "hannity" the series see you back here tomorrow night. the o'reilly factor is on tonight. >> you didn't choose to know your boss is the one that when the entire national security team wanted to arm and train them, that he turned them down. >> senator mccain talking about syrian muslims who oppose isis as president obama now scrambles to fight that threat. we'll have a number of reports this evening. >> there have been twitter social media exchanges among isil adherence across the globe speaking at that as a possibility. >> u.s. intelligence say terrorists may be trying to sneak across the southern boarder. why woulthey? >> let's not jump on the band

wagon demonizing this guy. >> not condemning ray rice for the vicious assault on his wife. the doctor will be here. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. hi, i'm bill o'reilly, thanks for watching tonight. does administration know what is going on in the word? that is the subject of the talking points memo. while many are small balling president obama's speech last night, talking points is taking a broader view on this 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attack, our thoughts with those who lost loved ones but also on preventing another terror attack. the president's speech last night was okay. he said he'll finally confront the isis threat. good. i hope the u.s. can destroy the killers. does the obama administration really understand what is happening in the world?

that's debatable. listen to jay carney working at cnn. >> i think the united states and a lot of the world was stunned by the repedty with which isis moved into iraq and took territory and the brutality that they have demonstrated. >> but many were not stunned by the isis situation. i knew about it and many other americans saw the dramatic rise of muslim terrorism inside syria and across the middle east. so when mr. carney says everybody was surprised, that's a fable. you may remember a couple years ago there was intense debate whether to arm so-called moderate muslim rebels in syria. they would fight not only against asad but isis but president obama said no, claiming he didn't know enough about the moderate rebels. >> yeah, we know all about them then. you just didn't choose to know.

i was there in syria. we knew them. come on, you guys were the one -- it's your boss that when the entire national security team wanted to arm and train them, that he turned them down, mr. carney, after -- >> senator, look -- >> the fact is -- [ overlapping speakers ] >> we have to agree to disagree on this. >> no, facts are stub bubern things. he made the unilateral decision to turn them down and the fact that they didn't leave the residual force in iraq over ruling all of his military advisors is the reason we're facing isis today. >> of course, he, senator mccain is referring to is president obama. talking points can say with certainty there is deep anger within the u.s. intelligence community because president obama was warned about isis and advised explicitly withdrawing all troops from iraq would cause

chaos and look what we have. again, the question does the obama administration know what is going on? the next five months might tell a tale on that. top story reaction, joining us kate and in the studio democratic james carla. i'm sympathetic to president obama on one thing if there is a terror attack here, he's through. it it will be blamed on him and there is nowhere to run because as senator mccain said, he's made enough decisions that are, let's say, debatable, let's say controversial to put himself on the defensive now that he looks like a weak leader against terrorists. >> first of all, the terrorist act, i suspect that would not be politically even more damming to him. i think he understands the nature of the threat but also knows what the truth is and that's we've been at war for 13 years and will be at war for another 13. >> probably.

unless the muslim nations of the world and crack down on this kind of stuff. >> basically, we defeated al qaeda and these guys come up. >> everybody else comes up. >> the reality is, been nearly aggressive enough in setting up defensive parameters to avoid the isis people. i think that could have been, i hate to use a cliche nipped in the bud more. >> let's go to kay, go ahead. >> he wasn't clear, ooeeither a the fact this is going to be a prolonged effort. he said three-year thing. he was very -- you know, i agree with bill that it was an okay speech. it's great that he's got this sort of new outlook that we'll hunt down those who say they are

going to attack america but he referred to isis as a small group of killers minimizing the threat they pose to america. i think it's incumbent upon this president that does understand the threat, bill. i think he's minimizing it. he's minimizing the nature of the threat. he's minimizing the fact that it could be at our southern border, the northern border is porous, too. >> i don't think he does understand, not the nature of the threat. he understands in theory what it is. he doesn't understand and practice how bad 9/11 was for some reason. but let me ask this question, if the two americans were not beheaded. >> right. >> right, on camera so the world could see, i don't believe president obama would be giving that speech. >> that's the reason they did this. with the parents of one of them said he was turned over by the moderates in syria. >> absolutely. absolutely. >> they just saw the idea, they

are wearing jerseys like the giants are wearing blue and eagles wearing green. >> and also to legitimize the point, we gave weaponry and surrendered immediately. so you can't guarantee an outcome. >> right. >> but it is a -- it is a strategy, all right, that you have to employ. now we have a strategy. i don't know -- i think it's going to work to diminish isis but you're right. there will be another isis someplace else. you got to go get them carville. you got to go get them. >> i'm not saying we should. i'm saying we should tell people this is war without end. >> i don't know if you say without end but you say this is war until the muslim world wises up. >> how do i get out of this business? i keep getting some back in. >> president obama. >> we'll never get out of this. >> president obama, his main job is to protect us and by being

d that he has not gotten to it. you can knit pick the president's speech -- >> which i wouldn't want to do. >> carville wouldn't want to do, either. none of us did it. the president's view, world view is such that i don't think he's nearly aggressive enough in setting up what has to be set up. you don't tell the enemy you're going to put boots on the ground, you don't. i say hey, see this guy, he may be coming to visit you. that's what you do. >> right. >> and rather you use it or not is up to you and depends on circumstances. you don't diminish the threat you're telling the world. why would you do that? >> the big question the american people have given the limitations he's put on this mission is is he serious? will he do whatever it takes to eliminate isis. bill, i do think while he understands the threat of isis, i think he has a fundamental

misunderstanding how to handle it. talking about yemen and somalia which are different situations and you're not going to be able to take out isis and handle the situation and what dan had a great piece in the wall street journal today talked about this president thinks he knows more than the national security team. [ overlapping speakers ] >> he -- mccain was right when he said that the president over rode hillary clinton, general petraeus and all these people and didn't do the things he needed to do to contain isis. >> doesn't that bother you? >> i'm skeptical the moderates was a good strategy. he makes a decision. boots on the ground and permanent occupation. >> don't put words in our mouth. >> that's what it means. >> the problem is not boots on the ground but getting boots on

the ground. >> nobody is talking -- >> the republicans should run on national security. all right? we're not going to make bad moves like pulling all the troops. >> like going into iraq -- >> i'm not on board with that, too, carville, you know that. >> that was the worst idea since world war -- >> the idea -- >> all the democrats voted for it. >> it was a uniquely repub -- >> the worst idea was pulling our guys totally out when we had essentially one. >> we can agree both of them didn't really work out. all right. >> actually -- >> than debate. >> next, u.s. intelligence picking up chatter that irksz sis may look across the southern boarder. boarder. why would they? can you start tomorrow?

testifying before the senate homeland security committee yesterday under secretary for intelligence. francis taylor said this about isis possibly crossing the southern boarder into the usa. >> there have been twitter social media exchanges among isil adherence across the globe speaking about that as a possibility. >> and why not? as we saw the central american children, it's not difficult to cross the boarder into the usa. before we analyze the boarder terrorist situation, i want to play you sound byte from bob beckel on the factor roll it. >> the threat level of isis, my son said dad, should i be worried about isis? i said absolutely not. >> some are down playing the isis threat. you say? >> i know the world is going to come to an end when i say this

but i see and understand what beck l is saying. let me tell you why. i think we have to learn about what happened, you know, 13 years ago, a nation under attack. we had a lot of vulnerabilities, bill. you discussed them at length on this show. vulnerabilities on the homeland. we have vulnerabilities on the boarder today. we have these really horrible, brutal people who have been fighting a conflict with each other, a triable conflict for a thousand years in iraq. we lost a lot of good men and women in the iraq war. we can debate that on and on and on. i was a huge supporter. i believe we have to be extremely careful how we get involved again in another middle east earn conflict. we're weaker than we were 13 years ago. our country is more pessimistic than 13 years ago. china is growing stronger, not firing a shot and not being involved in military conflicts. this is what is going to be required to truly defeat isis and destroy isis, i'm not sure

the american people frankly or our economy are going to be all in. that's a very big concern of mine. >> i think the beheadings, as i said, mobilized or galvanized but they drift. i'm concerned about our government and you heard jay carney saying no, look, let's just admit the mistakes, all right? admit the mistakes. the first iraq war we probably should have done that differently. not that saddam hussein was a threat, he was. if we had to go back in a time machine, i don't think we would do it in the same way. the karzai government was corrupt. it didn't help us. we lost a lot of great people there and then, and then bush goes out and we get a new president who continues to make mistakes and pulls even out of iraq and signals -- >> bingo.

bill, we got to remember where the american people were. >> we have to get good, smart leaders. >> of course we need good leaders but the public in 2007 when push went in with the surge and he gave a great speech about why we needed to do this, he sounds it today, he didn't have the people with him. you have to have the people with you from the home front. >> i think you have to be basically -- president obama. >> we got obama -- >> no, no, no president obama had the people with him, you know, until the last two years he was riding pretty high. >> they don't want to go back in the middle east. >> you have to go back anywhere. we fight it smart. all right? we don't take all the troops out of afghanistan. we don't take the troops out of iraq. we keep some there for -- >> for how long? >> for stability purposes. we are still in south korea. all right? >> we are still in south korea.

>> bill, i think the point i'm trying to make is that we have to understand the world as it is today. right? not the world that we want it to be where we were a nation building we're the world police. we don't have the money. we don't have the debt levels that are required to create this new world order and the same people, john mccain out there talking about how the boarder is vulnerable to isis, some of us have been talking about the boarder being vulnerable for 12 years. we got to do amnesty and legalizing illegals and we created a big magnet. we don't know who is in this country. i think the state department and homeland security department know darn well there are people in this country probably right now who have great allegiance to the ideas behind isis. >> i agree with that. you're almost agreeing with me. we need to have smart, tough

policies. >> yeah, but at home first. here. >> you don't have to flood the zone. you just have to anticipate problems and the president now did not or does not or will not anticipate problems and that's why we -- >> how about the fact -- bill, how about the fact student visas? we're not tracking the people -- >> should be a felony, felony for any person to over stay a vi visa, felony. the nfl domestic abuse scandal continues to grow. interesting things to say about ray rice. ray rice. later, watching the president's guys! you're not gonna believe this! watch this. sam always gives you the good news in person, bad news in email. good news -- fedex has flat rate shipping. it's called fedex one rate. and it's affordable. sounds great.

personal story tonight, investigating why the league did not move against ray rice in an appropriate manner. as you know, the bolt more ravins running back punched out his wife in a new jersey elevator and now been suspended indefinitely from the league. dr. ben carson said this earlier this week. >> you know, let's not all jump on the band wagon of dehumanizing this guy. he obviously has real problems and his wife obviously knows that because she subsequently married him. so they both need some help. >> that statement has caused controversy and last night i talked with dr. carson about it. so doctor you almost sound sympathetic to ray rice, although i understand you want to cure whatever disease mr. rice has, that you're a physician, that's your job. but shouldn't we demonize him and others like him to send a message that this can't happen in america, this kind of

violence? >> well, i'm not sure that demonizing people is ever the right thing to do. that doesn't mean that i don't think that, you know, appropriate punishment should be given. we're all punished for what we do. there are consequences for bad behavior, but you also need to recognize that these are human beings. we're all human beings. you know, i remember as a teenager trying to stab someone, had it not been for the belt buckle, i would be in jail. >> very interesting. so you did a violent act when you were younger so you can sympathize perhaps with people who commit violent acts now. you know, i have trouble with that and here is why. i demonized osama bin laden, the isis crew. i have no sympathy. fy were commander in chief, i would kill as many of them as fast as i could.

i don't believe in redemption for them. ray rice not in that category but a man who did a terrible, terrible thing and i want the message sent, you're right, he's punished and lost his job and probably will not play in american football again, you might see him in canada but is that enough? is that enough? >> recognize the reason we feel that way because it is despicable. he pummeled her with enough force it could have killed her. >> you know how many millions of men do that? it's not an isolated deal. it's a terrible plague. >> i'm not sure that's true. to have a man who is an nfl star who is very, very balked up against -- >> i'm telling you. battery against women in this country and around the world is just out of control, doc.

>> this is far out of control. i'm not advocating he not be punished. for someone to do something like that who has everything going for them, it means that there is some real deep -- >> i don't -- >> and i hope, you know, mr. rice gets the treatment he needs but again, i want to send a message and i do believe this is a plague, this violence against women all over the world is a plague. >> no question, it's a big problem. >> now, do you believe that president obama has the will to defeat, because i just referenced osama bin laden and islamic terrorism, do you believe he has the will in his soul or wherever to do it? >> well, i would hope that he has -- >> no, no, no, doub you believe observing him, do you believe he has the will to do it? >> his previous actions have not

demonstrated he would have such a will and it's really unrealistic to expect to develop the coalition that he's talking about with no leadership. if you get in there and you prove that you can lead and people don't believe that you're going to abandon them, i believe they would be quite willing to jump on your bandwagon but as long as you're wishing washing and leading from behind, why would they do that? they want to be on the winning side. >> i just don't know in his heart whether he is, you know, as the god father said, a wartime, i don't see it. and throughout history, we have had presidents like that. all right? they don't have it. the steel that it takes to break the back of this kind of terrorism around the world. you know, you have to take it personally, doctor. you have to take it personally. >> no question. no question if you're going to be the commander in chief, you need to have a spine of steel. you can't be a jelly spine and

you also have to be willing to listen to your generals and to the experts in the area and can't always believe that you know better than they do. >> all right. doc, appreciate you coming on and thanks, as well. >> my pleasure. as the factor moves on, bernie will analyze how the nfl is covering the media situation and if hysteria has taken hold and we hope you stay tuned for those reports. e. i am so nervous right now, it's not even funny. oh my gosh... driver 1 you ready? yeah! go!

another racial kdemonstratin in missouri. more than 100 demonstrators tried to block interstate 70 yesterday. police arrested people for unlawful assembly but four on charges police officers. the demonstrators protesting the shooting death of michael brown a month ago. joining us now from los angeles, a commentator on pjtv. so you watched the story from the beginning. what's the headline for you as it unfolds? >> well, look, if you want cops to not shoot black people, do things like don't rob liquor stores and if you're protesting, don't throw things at cops. look, i'm sad about the death of mike brown. i really am. i don't know what happened. i'm not going to sit here and

pretend i do. there are certain things that lead up to this tension but robbing liquor stores and throwing things at cops ain't going to help the situation much. >> michael brown 18 years old, teenagers make mistakes. i'm sure you made mistakes, i did, every american teen makes mistakes. we don't quite understand the big picture, a lot of people use intoxicants and that leads to this. the police are given power, training, the gun and the power to arrest and detain. coming with the power is the responsibility of restraint and that's where this tension comes in where you expect people to make mistakes. you expect people to do bad things but the police officer has to be responsible every second and sometimes he or she makes a mistake. i think this is a mistake. that's how it looks to me right now, but if that's what the ruling is, then the black community is going to go wild in america.

they want vengeance right now, i believe, some black americans. >> that's the key. what is it you actually desire? do you desire vengeance or justice? if you're looking for vengeance, things will spill over and it will make the dynamic worse. we have to keep a level head and do those things that don't cause people to perceive us in a way that we have to be policed so hard. >> okay. but the vengeance aspect comes from injustices that african americans experience in their own lives, don't you agree? >> sure. >> every african american has been treated poorly one time or another and they don't like it. when they see something like this, they go i'm not going to sit for it. i'm going to close down i-70 and that's what it is about. >> yeah, there is definitely truth there has been mistreatment from cops concerning white cops and black

people. that's true. but there is also responsibility of not inviting this kind of harassment from cops. like i said, if you're robbing a liquor store and going out and acting, if i can go ahead and use the word thuggish, you might be inviting a response from a police officer. i'm not going to charge a police officer and i'm not going to say michael brown is guilty or innocent but what about the energy towards taking responsibility for our lives so we don't invite this stigma upon ourselves. >> why do you believe young black men are arrested in far greater numbers than any other portion of the population? why are young black men being arrest so much? >> well, there is not just being arrested. there is a lot of things that go along with the arrested development of the black community in general and i think a lot of that is because of there is having to stick to the

paradigm of what it is to be black. not being able to get ahead. not getting an education. not getting a good job because if you try to do them, you'll be stigmatized for trying to be white. >> does that still exist? if you try to fit in the conformity of the marketplace, you're stigmatized as being an uncle tom or something? >> yes, i'm going to be stigmatized for being you can uncle tom for being on your show. thank you, bill o'reilly. >> will you be? will you get that mail? >> absolutely. i must really like you. >> you should. i'm looking out for all americans. what kind of people write you that mail? have you figured that out? >> it's usually left wing liberals, progressives who buy into the liberal narrative, yes. >> okay. we'll have you back on very interesting discussion. we appreciate you taking the time. we come right back, bernie goldberg on how the media is i'm type e.

thanks for staying with us. the nfl, ray rice situation receiving major coverage in the national media and commentators

under pressure. ted robinson has been suspended for two games after he said quote, how does she marry him after that? how does she go in front of goodell? that's pathetic to me. bernard goldberg, mr. goldberg, this guy out in san francisco, i don't know why he referred to goodell but he was expressing how does she marry him? i bet millions of americans have asked the same question. should he have been suspended? >> millions of americans are asking the same question. he should not have been suspended. i mean, let's review, this is very important. let's review what he said. he said how does she marry him after that? after he knocked, you know, ray rice knocked her out cold? how does she go in front of goodell and plead the case? he said that's pathetic to me. >> i don't know why he's suspended for that but i think there is a hysteria growing around the story.

>> i would describe it as a feeding frenzy, as a rain of terror, as the speech police are out to destroy. anybody who says things that they deem are inappropriate and liberals ought to be leading the offensive against this kind of thing. you'll have donald sterling, the old fool who owned the la clippers. he makes racist remarks in the privacy of his house, he's secretly recorded but nothing short of the virtual death penalty. he must lose his business. will be tolerated. this is part of the reign of terror. just a little while ago, you bill o'reilly make a comment about a woman spokesperson at the state department and you're called a sexist. what you did was the opposite of sexism. you treated her as an equal

because you've also criticized men, criticizing men is okay, criticizing women is not okay. that is part of the feeding frie frenzy. that is something important going on and not enough people are paying attention. >> i agree the speech police are now out in force and that has been predicted by authors and many other people. the interesting conversation that we had with dr. carson and i do believe that ray rice is a villain. now -- >> so do i. >> i believe he's probably got emotional problems but the problem is his villain has to be exposed by the media and condemned so the other people engaging stop or at least know they will be unruined if they don't stop. on the other hand, you have to be allowed, mr. robinson has to be allowed to wonder, to wonder why the woman wouldn't marry

him. that's a legitimate wonder. >> that's my position. what ray rice did was wrong. ray rice needs to be punished. what i'm saying is this feeding frenzy requires the death penalty, that he can never play in the nfl again. well, i'm going to say something that might get me in trouble in some circles. i think he should be allowed at some point to come back interest the nfl. there have been drunk drivers, nfl players who were drunk driveedriv drives who killed people. >> donte star worth. >> and they were allowed back into the nfl. listen, we're living a time bill when we're trying to stamp out racism and sessixism and that's good thing. let me say that again. and that's a good thing. when donald sterling loses his business because he's a dumb old fool and a racist dumb old fool i'm not comfortable with that

and if ray rice has to lose his job forever, no, i'm not comfortable with that, either and i'm really not comfortable with those people who are leading this reign of terror. i'm telling you, it started on college campuses, they have gotten away with that crap for way too long and it's infecting the blood stream of the rest of america. we better wake up to that. >> we appreciate it, as always. they will analyze the president's speech so get a pen and notebook. the voice moments away. claritin-d presents two allergy sufferers. 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

back to the book segment, what the heck just happened? some americans are asking that question to president obama's speech last night. here to analyze, anything at all

impress you about that speech? >> i thought he looked out. he woke up and he smelled the republican. he realized that if you're actually going to get a country behind you and get behind you in battle you got to act like a conservative. you have to act like a right winger. some people said the same thing. you notice the tone. he put on the conservative super hero costume and because nobody takes you seriously as a liberal when you jump into battle. >> what about the accusation or the opinion that he never would have done anything if the beheadings didn't happen. do you believe that? >> i do. absolutely. i think he's actually sort of reacting to the emotion of the polls and hysteria. i, for one, wish he wouldn't react to that. he looked very tentative, unsure and not confident last night, not somebody you want to follow into battle. i was happy he wasn't wearing a sucker suit last night.

that was good. he had a tie on. still, i wish he said listen, folks, we won't cave to the pressure and repeat the mistakes to the past and get sucked into another quagmire. that's what i wish he would have said. >> the quagmire thing is interesting but on the anniversary of 9/11, the more important thing is the nation being protected effectively. what brothers me is whether he has a patent because if you look. >> that's now how you envision

yourself. when you do a speech it was supposed to be about global warming and domestic. he never envisioned himself having to do the speech. this is is not him. it's an act. he'd like to play president. he doesn't want to be president. >> you know, in a civil war, mcclelen, the main general for the union army he wouldn't fight. he ran against abraham lincoln in the campaign of 1864. mcclellen against lincoln saying lincoln's a war mongar. lincoln fired him because he wouldn't fight. if he hadn't fired him, he would have two countries right now. the turning point was when lincoln, he wasn't a violent man, but he understood what was at stake. and then i go back to my question, does president obama really understand if we get hit again, you know, i don't think it's going to be obama's fault. that would be foolish to blame one man. but he's done. everyone's going to blame him. >> well, yeah. blame him or -- >> because he made so many

mistakes. made so many overseas. >> yeah, but in this particular case what do you want him to do? he's sending 500 more troops. do you want more troops? >> no, no, that's a good question from mcguirk. i want accountability. he moved these troops out of iraq, the american troops, when he should not have. >> the iraqi government -- >> you know what you say to those guys? tough. we're keeping our people here to protect the embassy. >> and you leave and you suffer the consequences of isis coming and taking -- >> you can't because then we suffer the consequences from iraq. >> but if we keep going over there, the americans taking care of all the bad actors in the neighborhood, the local people won't ever. >> the mistake of withdrawing all american forces from iraq led to isis. now he may do the exact same thing in afghanistan. >> my issue is he keeps taking things off the table. isil won't take anything off the table. they'll put a head on that table. meanwhile obama is replacing that table with a tv tray. he's telling them exactly what
