4:00 pm
if you want to learn more, go to our website, fox news.com. we'll see you next week, fox news sunday. i'm harris faulkner, reports from inside iraq that one of the most dangerous terrorists in the world has been woungded in a military operation. that man, the secretive leader of the isis terror army. they have beheaded american journalists, executed untold numbers of men, women in towns and villages all across the middle east, all under his command. two iraqi officials say that al baghdadi was hurt in an american air strike. connor powell live for us in our mid east bureau, and connor, how reliable are these aemged sources inside iraq? >> for the last 24 hours, we
4:01 pm
have been hearing a lot of reports coming out of the middle east that baghdadi had been killed. but -- extremely skeptical about these reports particularly gauze they're ouj naturing with unnamed iraqi officials. the u.n. said they have started air strikes around mosul, but they haven't targeted any isis target s as reports have indicated. there's no official view from the united states or the pentagon that they were targeting al baghdadi or that they were -- the pentagon is saying essentially they don't know what the actual status of baghdadi is, but they are very skeptical that he would have been hit and given the long history of iraqi exaggerations about their success on the battlefield against isis, not only their ability to defeat isis but take cities back, and what we have seen in the last few months and really their
4:02 pm
inability to put -- pentagon officials are very, very skeptical that baghdadi has been injured or even killed. >> what could be -- if this were to be confirmed? >> reporter: any type of attack or the killing of senior isis officials would be a big coup, let alone taking out baghdadi. isis is more than just one man, this is a group that has a lot of senior commanders that are very well trained, they have a lot of money, they have a lot of weapons, and many of the fighter who is make up isis are the men and the fighters who really battled iraq in the last decade or so. so it's a well trained, well equipped army that if baghdadi were moved, it would be a coup for the international community, but it certainly wouldn't destroy isis, this is a group that unfortunately is much more powerful than just one man, but this would be a big step forward
4:03 pm
in battling isis, but there is a group that would be fighting the international community for probably months if not years to come. >> and i don't want to be tone deaf on what you're saying about the pentagon expressing skepticism at this hour, we could wake p up tomorrow moorngd it could go the other way. connor, thank you very much. who is this isis leader? abu al baghdadi was a cleric around the time of the invasion in 2003. in 2005 he was captured by u.s. forces and spent four years in an american prison camp in iraq. and in 2011, long after he had been freed from there, the u.s. government officially designated him as a terrorist. and now as a leader of the islamic state, he is one of the world's most wanted men, theist government has a $300,000 bounlty on his head. let's bring in a fox military armist. i want to start with the word
4:04 pm
that connor just brought, that's the word from the pentagon that they are now skeptical. and i want to go further with a quote here. iraq has virtually no air force and a reputation for stretching the facts. your thoughts? >> well, i think connor has a point, we have to be very skeptical about that, but let me just connect the dots for you very briefly here, harris, this news if it turns out to be true, tied to other -- suggest tas us, suggests to me, at least, that the u.s. has made great progress in getting its intelligence act together, both over iraq and over syria. remember, harris, four months ago, our intelligence picture was virtually black. we couldn't even speculate about such a thing happening back in the summertime, we had no overhead, our drones were off the our human intelligence had been rolled up and killed or exiled by isis. and the fact that we have had several indicators in the last
4:05 pm
few weeks that that intelligence picture is improving enormously. we have human intelligence back in place, we have droens by the dozens over iraq. we have downlink centers that are beginning to get intelligence suggest to me that slowly but surely, the lights are going on over iraq. >> you know, i would think so, major general that it would still be rather difficult to give any sort of proof or as they say proof of life in this instance, because this is isn't like when we took out osama bin laden, where we somewhere people on the ground, our own skbel that can go in there and say here is the body of this person. this isn't like that. >> that's exactly right, and don't forget, harris, this is the middle east. and everybody has an agenda, even we have an agenda, because in the past, we have proclaimed people dead, like we killed
4:06 pm
saddam hussein at least five times several years ago. so it would be important to be skeptical just to proclaim this gentleman dead. what we're seeing today and yesterday is indicative that we have a lodge way to go and you know i've been critical of the u.s. commitment to this war, but what we're seeing in the intelligence community is the ability to do better and better at this, slowly but surely, who knows where it will lead us, but i'm far more optimistic about our ability to see ground troops than i was, say, back in august. >> i want to point out where we first got these statements, they were from iraqi defense minister, these were sources within their government. >> and the interior ministry is notorious for, shall we say exaggerating the truth, even back in the maliki era. and iraqi media is not like ours, they tend to be very one
4:07 pm
sided. but having said that, again, this is another day to point, another situation, even going back to the failed foley rescue attempt back in july, where they seemed to jump on the isis defenders and killed them by the truckloads, so it seems that isis is getting sloppy, their trade craft through perhaps huberis and overconfidence. >> talk to me about where we go from here, in terms of if this person were injured or taken out completely, what does that mean in our overall fight? >> well, a lot of its timing, harris, because remember now, what's isis trying to do now? they're not trying to expand their territory by capturing baghdad or expanding their perimeter. they're trying to turn their captive territory into a state. and who's the symbol of that state, harris? it's al baghdadi, he's the guy who started all this, he birthed isis, if you will, just a few
4:08 pm
years ago. if he's incapacitated in any way, it's going to slow that transition from a conquest into into -- >> do you know if there's been any chatter on social media from accounts linked to known isis members or those people who would profess to follow this blood thirsty group. that's a great question, and what's happened again in the last three or four weeks, is that my sources tell me that the big -- the chatter is everywhere in isis right now, not just inside of syria and iraq, but also in the periphery, where the questioning is going back and forth about what happens next to our leadership, will we be able to convert ourselves into a call califate. there's a great deal of uncertainty whether al baghdadi is dead or a live. >> that's interesting. major bob scales joining us with his expertise and time on this sunday, we appreciate it, thank
4:09 pm
you, sir. as far as word from the white house on the iraq reports, president obama is on board air force one on his way to -- our chief white house correspondent ed henry is in beijing actually ahead of the president's arrival. and ed, i understand the acute losses for democrats now to toggle the politics in the midterm elections have followed the president all the way to china? >> reporter: no doubt about it, harris, he was hoping to get a respite here, in china and then on to burma, wrap it up in australia. and a lot of presidents like to do in their second temple, get away from all those domestic problems, political crises, but instead, the global-times, one of the state run newspapers has been blasting the president ahead of his visit, sort of mocking the fact that democrats lost those elections, righting in an editorial in part, obama always utters yes we can, which
4:10 pm
led to the high expectations people have for him. but he has offering nothing to his supporters. bush who dared to do everything and obama who dares to do nothing, come from different parties but have the same destiny. the white house shrugs in off, calling it propaganda, but the president is facing some challenges here as we continues to do what he calls to the asian pivot. there are a lot of people in this region who think he's tied down with others like isis. >> the china global times in somewhat of an op-ed for this. the president is off to a pretty rocky start working with congress. the topic of conversation with a sticky one this weekend. >> no doubt about it, look, among the things he hopes to do here in asia is move forward on a free trade agreement, but he's going to have to get the republican congress's backing. that's a new reality he has to
4:11 pm
face politically back home, and he did get off to a shaky start, friday in a meeting with congressional leaders he said he was going to move forward with executive orders on immigration reform. he was trying to explain that he wants to work with republicans. >> we have got to sell it, we have got to reach out to the other side and where possible persuade and i think there are times, there's no doubt about it, where i think we have not been successful in going out there and letting people know what it is that we're trying to do and why this is the right direction. >> reporter: now aides to the presumpive majority leader mitch mcconnell, saying it's not his policies that are failing, it's hiss messages, you know mitch mcconnell has already said, the president bullying forward with
4:12 pm
immigration executive orders is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. >> you know, his words, who's got to sell it, reach out to the other side, make people understand what we are doing, it's almost like what he said about obama care and the supreme court is taking up a case that would cause the who is more headaches on obama care and the administration's handling of that is what? because that's coming up. >> well, you're right, yet another legal challenge to the president's domestic achievement, this will be aimed at the subsidies. it's supposed to be dealing with state exchange, there are states, 36 states that don't have the exchanges set up. that's what the legal challenge is about, these are mostly federal exchanges, so the bottom line is the white house is lawyering up, they're dealing with yet another legal challenge, they say we have survived all the previous ones, this law is still the law of the land. but they're dealing with another
4:13 pm
reality. while an incoming senate and congress. they'll be going after the funding of his health care law and the like, so this is clearly a two pronged war he's fighting right now on health care. >> ed, great to see you as always. >> good to see you. well, as you heard ed reporting, the president is now starting to take responsibility for democrats and the troubles they're having after a republican wave swept through the midterms, what he's saying about the coming changes on capitol hill and about his changes, more on that, plus -- the british people honoring that fallen heroes. you're watching the fox report, stay close. wow!

president is takinging some sharp criticism. south carolina lindsay graham cruised some short words after republicans gained control of congress. watch. >> he is in denial about what happened he is arrogant about the results, you have don't have to look at the tea leaves to see what happens. the americans put a stop sign outside the oval office, all he's got to do is look at it. >> president obama has taken a moment to admit that democrats, including himself dropped the ball in the midterm. >> the buck stops right here at my desk. and so whenever as the head of the party it doesn't do well, i've got to take responsibility for it. >> doug mcelway live for us in washington. so congress will be in a lame duck session then we'll see the brand-new republican dominated house and senate in january? >> reporter: what we heard today was tough talk over negotiations
4:18 pm
of legislative -- take immigration reform for example, we had a prehave you of potential troubles ahead last friday. at that meeting president obama ask -- reportedly, vice president joe biden asked how long the gop would need? february 15? march 15, he asked? the president apparently cut biden off, ending the imprompt tu negotiations and given their newfound strength, republicans are clearly focusing on other m issues than immigration reform. >> putting solutions like the keystone pipeline, like the medical device tax on the president's desk, let's pro-to the american people that washington learned it's lesson and that will help republicans in 2016 when it comes to our nominee. >> reporter: today the president
4:19 pm
signaled his intention to act along if congress does not submit an immigration bill. >> i'm going to do what i the do through executive action. it's not going to be everything that viennese to get done, and it will take time to put that in place. we will be impmenting an executive action, but if in fact a bill gets passes, nobody's going to be happier than me to sign it. >> the gop has long held that immigration reform is a nonstarter without tougher boarder enforcement. >> and he didn't let the vice president finish u he didn't let speaker boehner finish so we don't know how much time would actually be needed for republicans to come one a bill that could be passed that he could possibly sign, so that could be very interesting. what can we expect, if the president keeps -- he doesn't give them a chance to come forth with that bill. >> you know, speaker boehner and
4:20 pm
many others have suggested it would poison the well, that's a quote from speaker boehner, senator lindsay graham goes farther than that. >> if he goes it alone on immigration, it will not only poison the well, it will be a backlashing that will flow over on democrats yet again. >> also weighing in on this is whether confirmation hearings for loretta lynch will occur in the lame duck session or in the new session. republicans want to hear her views on the subject of immigration reform. two americans are now back on u.s. soil after years detained in north korea, details on their or deal next and how they came home. and the fall of the berlin wall, 25 years ago today. and we'll show you how germans are celebrating. stay with us.

reports us of iraq says that abu baghdadi was wounded by iraqi security forces. joining me now the walid farris, author of "the lost spring" u.s. : catastrophes to avoid. st with the very late breaking word that the pentagon is really skeptical. saying saying iraq doesn't have the forceses to -- >> first of all, yes, we have all the reasons the pentagon, and other sources have all the reason to be skeptical because of presence dense, it's not the first time that iraqi authors,
4:33 pm
iraqi officials have said that something happened that did not happen. if a video appears later in the chatroom realize that he was not neither wounded or killed, or only woungded not killed, we will know. so it's only a question of days to verify that. >> we traded e-mails and a couple of things stuck out in your notes, and one, i saw you on greta last week, you were saying that pretty much experts thought that the headquarters for isis was inside syria. does this mean that those reports were wrong and that in fact they're headquartered still in iraq? >> we have to learn how to -- the pentagon of that movement is in iraqi and syria. it's open information. but will he be sitting at a desk inside that building, probably not. the story that he may have been hit in that location is that
4:34 pm
he's visiting jihadists here and there. we don't know if was wounded or it. >> the man has to go around and shore up the morale of his 2r507s? >> absolutely. how do i know that's the biggest question. because we go on chatrooms and listen and read what his supporters are saying, oh, we have been visited by the -- so he's not going town issuing a press release as they do, we will know when he's moving, we will not know before, but we certainly will know after. we heard this from major general bob scales earlier in the hour, that they were looking to come up with that next commander in the ranks, tell me about that prois session. >> look, i don't think they are even looking, they already have him. when they appoint or select a -- they are the deputies, first you have the commanders on the
4:35 pm
ground, the various areas of iraq where they rule, but then you have an individual, what we don't know is the name of that individual, of course they're not going to give that name, but certainly if something has happened, even if he's wounded, there is a number two and there is a number three, they have a chain of command. >> all right, met kl help for this guy, i mean would we possibly see movement there? >> yes, that's a very smart note, if he is wounded badly, i don't know where in those areas between syria and mosul and iraq, any sophisticated move of medical supplies would not be detected by us. that would be a way to detect him. >> real quickly before i let you go, if you're saying that there's the next man in line, we don't know who he is yet, i kind of think that then they must be planning even beyond that, how do you defeat these guys? >> first of all, how we were not able to defeat, we killed a -- a third of yemen today is under al
4:36 pm
qaeda. we killed bin laden and al qaeda is in 28 places including the offshoot of al qaeda i isis ask in two countries. it's not about the leaders, it's about the ideology, the machine is spreading the ideology. we need to turn our attention to that. >> how so? >> we need to have the ngos on the ground, and unfortunately the administration since 2009 has refused simply to touch the ideology, if we don't touch ideology, it's going to produce more of the same. >> the president now has asked for more people to go, there are 1,000, 1,100 or more troops to go there, and your quick thought on that and the role that we play going forward. >> these military advisors are going to be inge serted into the military forces of iraq. and what we could do is maintain is resistance of the iraqi government in the south and the shiite areas. the concern that i would have is if these leaders leave into the

president obama admitting defeat. it's days after democrats suffered crush losses in the midterm elections. tune in and chime in. facebook and oner at harris faulkner, #fox report. pat caddell, former pollster for jimmy carter and fox news contribute for. and doug shown, former pollster for bill clinton and fox news contributor as well. you don't think -- >> i thought he was saying something they told him he better say. and then he went on to announce he was going to immigration, you know, you don't know how hard i have worked with the other side, it was, you know, after the apparently they spent the whole lunch fighting over immigration, and he's headed for disaster.
4:42 pm
>> you know, it's interesting, we heard from doug mcelway tonight so we know from the standard that that meeting got a little chippy on friday and the president is reported to have cut vice president biden off as he was talking with speaker boehner about, well, maybe we give them time, how long would it take for you guys to cobble together a bill for immigration? why? >> this thing has the potential to be a self-inflicted nuclear bomb on the obama administration. >> why? >> because of what he's thinking of doing by himself. there are ways we change the law in america and it's in the letti legislative process under the constitution. to stay everybody can stay who's here already, whether they're here illegally or not, is not
4:43 pm
the way it should be done. >> the president had an opportunity -- you could hair, speaker boehner was, look, we might be able to come up with something, give us time to do that. >> basically the president is going to double down, his logic is i'm going to do it my way, and he sees this as a defining moment for his legacy and his career. when you lose an election and i worked for bill clinton after the '94 election so i saw it, so you have to compromise, that's what biden and boehner were trying to do. >> he did not use the word compromise yet, what he said is i will persuade them. he's still in disney land. >> persuade who? >> the republicans to do the right thing. >> they have leadership in both houses, i don't get that, how is hi going to do that? >> i don't ask me that, i don't know. let me just say one thing, it is
4:44 pm
clear the main stream media and everyone there and all of these political pundits don't get it. there has been a sea change in attitudes about immigration, the president's problem is he's going to blow up, make the republicans mad, the problem is the country, including lots of democrats don't think he has the authority as john said, and don't think he should do this. the firestorm is going to start out there i believe, as long as the republicans don't go crazy on impeachment or whatever madness they can come up with. >> the polls in most places were extraordinarily close. there was a tide, that there was a generic vote lead of 5, 7, 8 points, when you factor in the
4:45 pm
ties and the close race, it became a clear and apparent win for the republicans. that's what happened. >> all of you who tuned in called it 51-53 you would get republican leadership and republican senate. have you seen anything like it? >> you see it every election, first of all, there's so many bad polls out there, let's be fair about this, also we said, we saw this thing underneath, i said there was -- i personally said -- >> by underneath, you mean the attitudes -- >> we're talking about you guys for weeks. >> i said 30% chance the thing will blow right open because the undecideds won't move, and these polls are -- and by the way, the des moines register was right about iowa, that's the only poll that was right in one of these states. >> paul o'brien writes, which the pull off the virginia senate race? >> i think i can speak for pat and doug that that was a race we
4:46 pm
never thought gillespie would do well. >> he made up a 20 point difference. >> lobbyist insider in an era where people really don't like that. i think that state in one year reverted more to being a red state. >> it was about eight points or nine points for mark warner. with a seven-point swing from that time, that made the race very, very close. but pat is right, it was a tie to the republicans, but lets be clear, it was a reaction against president obama, it was really a message to him, not a vote for republicans. >> warner's favorability was very high and he almost lost that seat because of president obama. but let me just say, again, to remind our voters and our listeners. >> that's not -- >> they're not all voters. but our watchers. in any event, there were states i still believe nationally the republicans could have had

let's go to twitter. what happens when the -- >> we got to mention when pat in a previous segment brought up the fact that the country has changed on immigration, it started in june and july with the kids from el salvador and guatemala coming up here, and with isis and ebola and feeling we're not secure, there has been a change. >> the refusal to go downing there and deal with it. >> that's true. >> it's more than his refusal to go there. he's sitting with the congressional leadership, he's lost an election and there is no intent on his side to compromise, we face what could be a potential constitutional crisis if he tries to do as he has intimidated a constitutional order on isis. >> can anyone, will anyone stop the obama immigration order, it will be a disaster. >> i had forgotten, he has not
4:53 pm
been down there, pat. >> no, he's refused, he went to a fund-raiser. >> he was advised by the governor to go and he wouldn't go. >> i'm telling you, i said it last election, we're always going to be negotiating. no, he doesn't believe in negotiating. he is who he is. he is willing to blow his party and the country up because he is a narcissistic man who doesn't have a clue how to do his job. >> i wonder how pat really feels. the president hasn't been to the border because it's impossible to take in the breadth of what's happening there without actually seeing it. >> and what you discussed earlier, the global situation where we are a couple of weeks away from the united states and and iran potentially allowing iran to make nuclear weapons. >> the white house will not comment on whether that letter was actually sent to iran.
4:54 pm
>> but doug, the thing that is going on, the white house is trying to craft this agreement so that they do not have to have senate approval of it. >> correct. >> we had not talked about that letter, but told reportedly that it exists. >> i hear people saying, well, you know, immigration, it doesn't poll well, people don't really -- i'm looking at twitter and people want it to get back on the top. >> the country will blow up if the president tries to do this by executive order. >> is it more that he's trying to do it without congress in a lame duck session than -- >> the three of us were discovered on friday that we all had the same reaction of the president on wednesday, and nancy pelosi the next die saying we have to pay more attention to the 2/3 of voter who is did not vote. when we are in a point in america when the people who
4:55 pm
don't count more than the people who do vote, something is really wrong here. >> something in the democracy, only someone with a weird view of the constitution could come up with something like that. >> this is a constitutional scholar who he is saying he will floult the constitution. >> and the republicans have laid down in the political party. >> why does president obama seem to consider iran a closer ally in congress. >> because he thinks he can work with them and the syrians against isis. >> you take the question seriously. >> i did take it seriously, because he is working that way. now if you believe that letter, which i do. >> in what limb time we have left, president george w. bush on his brother running, watch. >> i hope he runs, i think he would be a very good president, i think i understand the decision-making process and i
4:56 pm
know he's wrestling with the decision. >> if you had to make an estimate right now, what do you think would happen? >> i would think it's 50/50. >> 50% seems to be a lot. i think we got to look at the big picture, this country likes new things, new iphone, new car, new gadgets. new people. >> hillary and bill clinton. >> they're not going to want them, they're going to want new people. >> not discussed in the national exit poll, it's a question that asked, do you think hillary clinton would make a good or bad president, a majority of people said she would not make a good president. and asked four republicans, bush, christie, rand paul and kerry. >> there has not been anything to make the american people happier, more satisfied, more
