day. another adventurer asked the folks about it. >> he came over on three ships. >> mayflower maybe? caution. you are about to enter the no-spin zone. factor begins right now. hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. why the federal government is not protecting america. that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. americans are rightly concerned that their government is not protecting them against the contagious disease. 27-year-old nina pham that treated thomas duncan who died from ebola last week has now been diagnosed with the disease. even though she was apparently wearing protective gear. very worrisome. a new poll of nbc news asks, should there be a ban on flights

from west african countries into the usa? 58% say, yes. 20%, no. don't know and no answer, 22%. talking points has said from the beginning there's no compelling reason why west africans should be admitted to the usa when there is an ebola epidemic raging in that region. think about it. think about this. this is a national security issue, is it not? what reason on the earth not to suspend vi sas from that area? there is no reason. just a bunch of excuse making. >> we really need to be clear that we don't inadvertently increase the risk to people in this country by making it harder for us to respond to the needs in those countries by making it harder for us to get assistance in. >> total garbage. we have asked dr. frieden a number of times to appear here.

he will not because he is afraid. he knows that i know he's not being candid, that he is spinning the situation and not being forthcoming about how the disease is being spread. frieden should resign. as he well knows, charter flights could carry medical and military personnel to africa and that's the way they should be transported, by charter. so that monitoring can be very close. believing that civilian airport people in jfk or newark or dulles airport can spot ebola that is dormant, believing that is stupid and irresponsible and puts all americans at risk. it's a dumb and dangerous ruse and frieden is the chief prop gandist. he knows better. talking points is just asking for common sense. which the obama administration is rejecting outright.

but i will predict tonight they will soon reverse course. again, there is no compelling reason for west africans to come to the united states at this point in time. secondly on ebola, we're simply not being told the truth. how did the nbc news cameraman contract the disease? ashoka mukpo is being treated and we don't know how he got it in africa. americans have a right to know that. this has to stop. the federal government has to level with the american people. now, on to the isis terror threat. reports out of syria and iraq say u.s. bombing is doing some damage to these terrorists but is not stopping their advance. all of us who see things clearly knew that was going to be the case. and i believe president obama also knew that was going to be the case. but wouldn't tell the american people. instead, the president has created a myth that somehow a

60-nation coalition that is basically doing nothing is going to defeat isis. i mean, the turkish army, part of the coalition, is one mile away from the terrorists watching them slaughter civilians. and the turkish army is doing nothing. great coalition, mr. president. way to go. summing up, the american people are not being told the whole truth by the obama administration about two very important situations and the b.s. has to stop. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction, joining us from washington, mary katherine and juan. where are am i going wrong? >> i think you are right. i'm troubled by what's going on in dallas and nebraska. when it comes to dr. frieden, i think accountability is key for our officials, especially in this situation. my one question to you, bill o'reilly, what's on the bench?

who's coming next? who have we heard from in the american medical company saying he's wrong in allowing the hospital in dallas to control this rather than bringing the patient to a central place where we know we can isolate -- >> i'm not questioning that right now. i put dr. manny alvarez in charge. >> come on. >> ten times more honest than frieden. he's a propagandist. >> that's not fair. >> that's not the issue tonight, juan. i'm not going to tell the center for disease control how to set up their apparatus. >> right. >> what i'm outraged about, a mary-katherine, what's a fact is frieden is not telling the truth. he would be here instead of you two. you would be in the b-block behind him. >> i'd love for him to show up. >> i think i saw him on scooby-doo and spongebob.

all right? he knows i know he's a b.s.-er. >> with public health, it is important not to foment panic and make sure it's under control and in west africa it's panic that make it harder to treat because people start turning on health officials and one of the things. but it is perfectly rational as an american to look at this situation and go, wow, president obama spoke at the cdc saying they had screening process in place to prevent this. they didn't prevent this and procedures to not spread it once it got here. people can look at that rationally. one more thing -- >> i need -- wait. >> this is important. when it comes to government health organizations, and i'm not panicking anybody, but telling facts, in the past year the nih and cdc gross ri mishandled anthrax, bird flu and smallpox. so i'm sorry if i don't have the utmost confidence at all times

that everything is the truth. >> worse than that. juan, i need a short answer. a number of simple questions. do you believe civilian employees at jfk, dulles, newark and the other airports can spot dormant ebola? >> not at the moment. no. >> mary katherine -- >> this is a fraud. >> do you believe that? >> no. i'm not confident in that. >> we have two don't believe that it could happen. i don't believe it. that's three. all right? but the government's saying they're going to be able to spot it. they're going to be able to stop it from coming in. total lie. 100% lie. no civilian could -- employee could spot that no matter what kind of thermometer they have. impossible. >> yeah. >> number one. number two, let's shift gears. juan, isis bombing, okay, do you believe that the isis advance is going to be stopped by bombing? yes or no? >> yeah, i think we have slowed them down. they were supposed to -- >> going to be stopped, juan? 20 miles outside of baghdad? >> yeah.

well, i don't think they're getting to baghdad if that's what you're asking me. >> i'll discount that answer. mary katherine, do you believe that the isis advance will be stopped by bombing? >> no. i was always worried it wouldn't be. >> 2-1. >> coming to both of these things -- >> no. it is not going to be. juan said something i didn't understand what it was. >> you said -- talking about kobar. talking about kobar, i think they probably get that. >> juan? >> not getting to baghdad. >> juan, i said do you believe the advance is going to be stopped from the air in yes or no? >> and the answer is, no, with regard to baghdad. yes with regard to kobar. they haven't done it. yes, they can stop them with -- >> it's an overall question, juan. there is a -- there isn't one military expert in the world who believes the isis terror advance is going to be stopped from the air. not one credible military person. yet we are -- >> you are right. >> we are told, we are told that this is going to stop them with

a 60-nation coalition. that is a lie. don't you get it? we're being -- >> yeah. i get it. >> we're lied to. >> no. wait. what you said earlier about turkey is the point. why are they sitting still? are you calling for the u.s. to send troops? i don't think so. >> on both fronts, probably not infected with ebola and the american people don't have a stomach for being on the ground but they shouldn't be lying about them. >> it's a simple one. i'm a simple man. we are being lied to. period. >> yep. i agree with you in many cases. >> all right. we have a new poll. do you believe the federal government is doing enough to protect americans from ebola? yes or no? another simple thing. give you the results tomorrow. next, brit hume will react to the memo and then karl rove. factor's coming right back. smar.

hume's own segment from washington. so, do you have any quibbles with my talking points that essentially say the federal government under president obama not telling the truth to the american people? >> i don't think we've been leveled with really on either of the two issues you mentioned, isis and ebola. no question about it. >> i'm glad to hear you say that because i have such a headache from hearing, you know, equivocating back and forth. when you get a doctor like frieden who i believe knows absolutely knows the truth about ebola and he won't tell american people the truth, what are we to do with this man? he won't come on "the factor." i don't think against you either, brit, if you were doing special report now and come on with you either because he knows that you and i know what his game is. we have seen it many, many times. he's a spinner, a government spinner. all right? but what are we to think of him? >> bill, i'm more concerned, you

say he knows the truth an i'm more concerned he doesn't know the truth about ebola. i think he was probably genuinely surprised that the nurse that you mentioned got infected even though she was wearing the gear to protect you. >> let me stop you. he says he has two teams from the cdc, federal teams, on the ground. one right away after the liberian contracted it and now the after one after the nurse contracted it. if he doesn't know that means the teams don't know. all right? >> well, i can't -- >> here's how they got it and went down. >> i mean, i'm not sure that the analysis is done yet but either way i think what's happening here, bill, we keep getting the surprises. you remember the president said that this disease wouldn't make it here. then it did. and then getting here it wasn't going to spread. well, now it has and now we wake up this morning to the news that the person who caught the disease was wearing apparently necessary protective gear and

didn't think was possible and we keep -- look. this is small. even in africa, 4,000. even though there are -- claims being made the worst infectious outbreak of our time. that's what the head of the world health organization said today. it is relatively small in terms of the people affected by it but still frightening. >> it is my job to keep it small. it's my job to look out for the folks. is there one reason on this earth that we should not deny visas to west africans right now until we can set up an apparatus? >> if there is a good reason for that, there may be, we haven't been told it. i've heard the arguments made and seem to me vague, difficult to understand. they don't seem to have much to do with the health of americans. they -- the claim that's made as you pointed out in the talking points memo or earlier at least that, you know, we couldn't get aid into the african countries. that doesn't make any sense. so, there may be a good reason for this. maybe people fear a panic.

>> frieden, doesn't that concern you? he's putting the preposterous crap out there. they couldn't get aid in there. they don't have transports to get military and medical personnel in? of course they do. >> i have my doubts of whether this is a decision that's being made by frieden. >> it isn't. he's a puppet. he's a puppet. a mouthpiece. >> look. he's a subordinate official within a larger government who's, you know, who's sticking to the policies that have been outlined above him. as far as i can tell. >> yeah, that's right. >> which is why i don't know that getting rid of him makes a difference. >> what do we want a puppet for? resign. have a little dignity. misleading the american public. come on, brit! i mean, this is life and death for some people. i feel terrible for this -- what about the nbc guy, brit? how come we don't know how he got it? washing a car? stack up to you? do you have any photographers that wash cars? on assignment? do you know one that washed cars?

>> not defending these claims. as i say, but what i'm saying is -- >> preposterous. >> firing him. put in a subordinate official. that's the question. >> al franken and then we'll know it's a joke. brit hume, everybody. karl rove on whether'll be a ebola and isis will influence the election. a dubious public sell brigs. >> what year did columbus discover america? >> what year? i don't know. 1940s? >> correct! those reports after these messages. it's monday.

three weeks from tomorrow, midterm elections across the country. many believe republicans will win the senate and the gop currently controls the house. with us now here in new york city karl rove. all right. you heard me blister the federal government about ebola and isis and we're obviously being lied to. you don't disagree with that. >> i don't think it's the full truth. >> you guys here you kill me. not the full truth. i think that falls you should -- >> no, no, no. >> no? you can spin? >> i don't know fit's a deliberate lie or somebody said don't tell them. there's a big difference. >> why doesn't he say somebody told me not to tell you guys? >> it's inconsequential. we are not getting the information we need. that's the bottom line. >> we are being misled about life and death. that's dangerous. isis is life and death, too. >> right. >> that being established, beyond a reasonable doubt, will voters take that in in three

weeks? >> look. we have two issues here. ebola adds to the growing concern of security and we have isis which is for five or six months a driver of public opinion. if you take a look back early spring, the economy was number one and lots of things two and three. since then, the issue of national security and terrorism risen to number go in most of the polls so i think that's a direct effect of isis. ebola is -- adds to the concerns about our nation's security. we have seen the reemergence of security moms and dads like in 2004. so, yes. it is an issue. now, having said that, it's going to be more of an issue where there's a direct connection between the individual candidate and either one of those two issues. on ebola, for example, it hurts mark pryor. he was asked by a reporter, what do you think of the president's plan on ebola? he had no answer. >> he is from arkansas. >> isis issue is particularly

powerful of dh ch the democrat is a member of -- >> that's sophisticated stuff. >> no, no. but look. >> it's an emotional thing. you know that. >> but look. kay hagan never held a committee meeting. senator udal of colorado and the first debate attempted the speak on behalf of the beheaded american journalist saying they wouldn't want us to be tough in iraq. he had to walk those things back. if you have a republican candidate who has some credential to talk about this and a democrat who has a weakness on it, it becomes more salient. >> what about the perception and you see this in every political poll that the obama administration is not being effective? does that transfer then to senatorial and congress races? >> to the degree that people say, my vote is a way to send a message to the president and the bad news for the president is the second midterm election they

feel very free to do exactly that. we have seen this in the gallup poll. if you take a look at four years ago 20% of the american people -- 22% of the american people said their vote is a message of support for president obama. four years ago it was 30% said their message was a message of opiniposition to the president. today it's 32%. he is in a weaker position than the eve of the 2010 elections and those didn't turn out too good for him. >> so you were saying that the whole -- the whole atmosphere in america right now points to republicans doing well. >> right. >> yet, the races most of them, many of them are still very, very tight. >> that's right. >> what is it that is keeping the republican party and you have to be honest here, away from a dominant position three weeks out? >> three things. one is democrats knew it was

coming unlike 2010 and so they prepared for it and raised a lot of money. that's point number one. >> to buy ads. >> went on the offense against republican opponents early and often and done everything they can for the last five or six months -- >> marn ginnalize. >> republican vs to offer a critique of the opponents and obama but new stuff, particularly entering the last three weeks of the election. >> all right, mr. rove, thanks as always. cable exclusive about the government possibly putting james risen in prison. he will be here. megan kelly on how the defense team for the boston terror bomber trying to get him acquitted. we hope you stay tuned for those reports. and now telcos using hp big data solutions are feeling the love, too. by offering things like on-the-spot data upgrades -- an idea that reduced overcharge complaints by 98%. no matter how fast your business needs to adapt,

feet...tiptoeing. better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don't start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take.

one pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. ask about xeljanz. both the obama administration and the bush administration before it believed "the new york times" journalist james risen violated national security with secrets of nsa surveillance. that came about because of the 2006 book "state of war" in which he cited anonymous government sources which the feds want him to reveal. here's what i said back then. >> risen flat-out states president bush broke the law allowing the national security agency to listen to calls made by americans. ridesen, however, down plays the nature of the calls, that they were reportedly made to overseas people and al qaeda surveillance was the primary reason.

this nsa deal is largely undefined. there are good arguments on both sides. >> now, mr. risen has a new book of "pay any price." which comes out tomorrow. he joins us now. here's what i don't understand. about the bigger picture and what you're writing about. why doesn't the obama administration and the bush administration before, why don't they get the warrants to listen? because they're easy to get from the fisa court. are they not? >> what happened was the bush administration went around that court because they argued they wanted to listen in on so many people, so fast, that they needed to use new technology to do it in a way that the courts, the secret fisa court, couldn't keep up with. that was their argument. but since then there's been new laws after our stories came out that allowed basically legislation that allowed them to basically do what they were already doing. now the obama administration has

expanded it exponentially with all the social media, facebook and twitter. they have grabbed all of that and so now the nsa has much more digital information. >> do they have to pass a new law to keep up with this? >> yes. >> now the technology is outrunning the law. >> right, right. >> okay. now, all of this is centered around one thing and correct me if i'm wrong. i haven't read your new book. i just got it. >> okay. >> centered around both administrations saying we need to monitor what the terrorists are doing. that's why we're doing this. with all of our intelligence agencies. >> right. >> that's it, right? >> that's their argument but i think if you look at the details in the way of which we fought the war on terror, we've gone -- we have given the government way too much power over the last 13 years. we have poured hundreds of billions 0 of dollars into this. at the same time we got rid of a lot of rules and regulations the way we handle intelligence and so that led to a lot of unintended consequences in the way in which we fought the war on terror and we have -- if you

look at all of the countries in which we have had combat operations since 9/11, it's difficult to say that any one of those countries is doing better than they were before we got involved. >> okay. put that aside, though. it's intent i want to know about tonight. >> sure. >> intent. do you believe there's evil intent on the part of either administration or both to listen and spy on civilian conversations? >> i don't think that was the intent. i think the intent was -- >> there's no intent to do wrong. it's just misguided in the way they carry out national security in your opinion. >> right. yeah. i think the problem is very little oversight. >> sure. >> trying to do it in secret and having a secrecy, you lead to abuses. >> parents can't oversee their own children with this technology anymore. >> right. >> now, let's get to you. so they want you, they, the obama administration, now to tell them who gave you all this inside stuff. that's the crux of the matter. right? >> right.

>> where is that legal case now? >> it's kind of -- it's going to a trial in january. and they've indicated that they're going to subpoena me again shortly the supreme court can go ahead. right? >> right. >> big deal. >> right. >> where the trial in washington? >> virginia. >> virginia, all right. so they subpoena you and ask you again. >> right. >> you will say i won't tell you. >> right. >> just like james rosen for us. >> he is by the way i really respect what he's done on this, so -- >> don't pump him up too much. he's a problem with us. so you're going to go on trial and you're going to say, i'm not telling you. >> right. >> they're likely to do what? >> i don't know. >> what are your attorneys telling you? >> we don't know. we don't know. the government -- >> could they order you to jail right then? >> they could, yeah. >> you're in contempt of what? >> contempt of court at that point, yeah. >> if the judge goes along, he could order you into jail. >> yes, yeah. >> this is all centered around the wikileaks stuff and leaks

from the national security agencies to journalists and assange says that's what he was and the government says you're putting people's lives in danger. some of them level that charge at you. >> that's the argument they use. >> does it have any credibility to you? >> i don't believe so. i don't think you can point to anything written in the press in the last ten years that's really affected national security. >> all right. if you go to jail, and you can write another book. you know? >> yeah. >> on the eavesdropped on me in the cell or something like that. we don't want you to go to jail. rosen is okay. they can send him any time they want. you're doing your job. if i were you, i would have done the same thing. i have to say. as a long time journalist. >> everybody who says nice things about me, i always say, i think every other reporter that i know would do the same thing. >> a lot of corruption in the press right now but any reporter who's honest you have to protect your sources. >> right. >> good luck with the book.

we appreciate you coming on. >> thanks very much. megan kelly on the boston marathon terror bomber's new defense strategy. and then watters on columbus day. er reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

. . . . . . . .

thanks for staying with us. kelly file segment tonight, does president obama play too much golf? but first, the defense of accused boston marathon terror bomber dzhokhar statsarnaev. here's some new stuff out. the brother, just to recap, older brother dead. police shot him dead. >> yep. >> and now the younger brother on trial for his life, capital crime. >> correct. >> his lawyers are putting forth what? >> so they are getting ready to argue that he is not as culpable as the dead older brother and he sort of went along to get along because he was being manipulated by the older brother and one of the things we have learned this week in a late court filing on friday is that his lawyers are going to argue to make their case in part that he knew his older brother had murdered three people back in 2011. a year and a half before the boston marathon bombing. they're going to say he knew about it.

long believed that he did it. they dealt pot and they showed up dead and they were almost beheaded in their apartment and police -- it was an unsolved crime and then after the boston marathon bombing, it came out that he was friends with one of them and didn't go to the funeral service and started acting strangely after the murders and started to put two and two together and say this may have had a connection. >> the killer of the three. >> and then there was a question, well, was the younger brother dzhokhar that did it with them? it seems that they have moved away from that and another guy friends and fbi interrogating that guy. they reportedly had him ready to sign a confession saying it was me andtamerlin that did it and something happened and the fbi shot him six times dead. >> that was in florida, right? >> yes. in the hotel room. >> he's dead. older brother is dead. >> now the younger brother's lawyers argue he knew about that

and perhaps he was intimidated by the older brother. he thought he'd wind up dead, too, if he didn't -- >> fear of his life? >> that's where i think it's going. >> when does the trial begin? >> i don't think we have a trial date but they're arguing over the theories. >> that's why they're putting this out to see if the judge will allow this. >> there's a prosecution witness, though, that's -- it's strange. both sides want to argue this. the prosecution witness came forward saying i'm going to tell you, the prosecution wants to put him on to say that he knew all about the older brother's murder and it appears that the defense attorneys saying, great. take the stand. testify to that. we like that evidence, too. >> not going to buy that. the jury's going to convict him. >> the defense attorney has to do something. they have to defend him. that's what the system did. >> the devil made him do it and the devil is his older brother. >> and the jury sees the three dead victims and all of the carnage caused outside of the loss oif life -- >> i don't think there's any chance he gets off.

he's going to get life in prison and not execute him. all right. you play golf, kelly? >> hi, megyn kelly, bill. nice to meet you. no, i don't play golf. >> nothing with sport sms. >> pretty much yeah, no. >> a lot of women out on the golf course these days. >> i was on opposite some good-bye game for derek somebody and why was he crying? everybody like james was like, what are you -- you don't know why jeter is crying? >> no interest in sports? nothing about it? >> i'm not -- occasionally watch a game here or there. my husband makes me. >> he doesn't make you do anything. all right. so now the controversy is that there's barack obama and somebody is beheaded and goes, too bad. i'm going to get them and plays golf and then, gee, ebola is bad and then plays golf. is that a legitimate criticism or just carping? everybody is entitled to a day off. >> i think one of those is legitimate and the rest -- they

don't bother me. the president copped to that and president bush which was add a line and made a comment of 9/11 and terrorists and said watch me hit this ball. but president obama had no business doing that moments after a remark about it the first american beheading. >> ebola thing okay this weekend? >> he can't give up what he needs as an r ae&r goes on in t country. just fyi, woodrow wilson, estimated to have played 1,200 rounds of golf in office. dwight eisenhower, 1,600. the president is only at 200. he is doing okay. >> yeah. wilson and eisenhower? big golfers. >> 1,600! enough gone every single day. right? >> so, you know, you're not down on the president for playing golf. >> do you play golf, bill? >> no. for sissies. >> what do you do? >> wilson made my point. i play ice hockey. >> the little pants with the plaid? >> nickers?

>> little beanie cap. >> ever been in a country club locker room with golfers you give up the game. guarantee you. >> ask you about that later. >> no. you won't get the answer. watters is on deck. columbus day. do the folks know anything about old chris? watters is next. and just give them the basics, you know. i got this. [thinking] is it that time? the son picks up the check?
