8:00 pm
prevents the president from acknowledging who they are? we want to hear what you have to say. let us know what you think. that is all the time we have for you tonight. thanks for joining us we hope you have a great night. tion. the o'reilly factor is on. tonight. >> the french prime minister said yesterday that france is at war are with radical islam. is the u.s. at war with radical islam? >> i certainly think that we are at war with those who would commit terrorist attacks. >> big trouble for the obama administration. it now admits it made a mistake by not joining with 40 world leaders to condemn radical islamic terrorism in paris. we have two reports this evening. >> i'm saying romney is running. that's what i'm saying. >> that was way back in september. so how did i know mitt romney would make another run for the presidency? we will tell you. >> do you admire the fact that the president went golfing after that american was beheaded? >> yeah, if he was on vacation. >> also ahead, watters world, the hero edition.
8:01 pm
>> dreamy eyes. >> yeah, he does. staring right at me. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. hi i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the subject of this evening's talking points memo. as you may know about one and a half million people demonstrated in paris france on sunday. demanding an end to radical islamic terrorism. 40 leaders led the march which received worldwide coverage but among those leaders there was one big absence. the usa. president obama, vice president by den secretary of state kerry and holder did not attend. holder was already in paris. all he had to do was take his latte and walk across
8:02 pm
the street. but he didn't show up. the outcry has been fierce. >> i was ashamed, i mean, how can obama do this, not only not go himself but forbid our other top officials from going? i mean, there is simply no excuse for it looks like missed opportunity. i would add and i don't mean this as a criticism of the obama administration. but just as an american, i do wish that we were better represented in this beautiful procession of world leaders. >> today white house spokesman josh ernest admitted the administration made a mistake. come on, it's not just a mistake. there is a pattern of behavior here from. very beginning of his tenure president obama has been reluctant to declare war on the jihad. even after the prime minister of france said is his nation is now at war,
8:03 pm
the obama administration would not do so. >> the french prime minister this morning declared that france is at war with radical islam. would you say the united states is at war with radical islam? >> well, i would say that we are at war with terrorists who commit these heinous acts and who use islam. they use a corrupted version of islam to justify their actions. >> once again, holder saying we are at war with terrorists but not islamic jihadists. the obama administration simply will not say it but why? why? well, there is a reason. part of the left wing philosophy is that america is partially responsible for islamic terrorism. some liberal pundits believe that because the u.s.a. has protected the oil sheikh and supported dick like mubarak in egypt we are responsible for al qaeda, isis and other savage groups who experience repression. of course, that's a very
8:04 pm
simplistic view but it has taken deep room in the left wing pretickets. the truth is the america and the west need oil. so since world war ii american presidents have dealt with muslim nations rather than radical islamic chaos. oil is vital so compromises were made. president obama is a man of liberal thought. obviously tentative about confronting the jihad. but here is something very interesting. while the left continues to soft pedal islamic terrorism. they are appalled by christian fundamentalism. and generally speaking support the palestinians over the jews. i mean, once again today, this is what the "new york times" editorialized quote: perhaps the greatest danger in the wake of the massacres is that more europeans will come to the conclusion that all muslim immigrants on the continent are carriers of a great and moral threat unquote. from the beginning of the paris terror very concerned about the backlash to muslims and not very
8:05 pm
concerned about how to it combat the jihad at least on its editorial pages. when the catholic priest pedophilia scandal broke did you ever read in the "new york times" or any other left wing publication that they were concerned good catholics might be affected adversely. did you ever read that? i didn't. but later on bernie goldberg and i will discuss the situation. but, for now the obama administration makes yet another mistake, does not stand with the world to declare war on the islamic jihad. unbelievable. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight reaction. joining us from los angeles mark hanna who worked on the obama campaign and also advised secretary of state john kerry. you can't be pleased. your guys are are looking bad once again. you can't be pleased with this. >> no question there was a missed opportunity for the president to show some solidarity with the french people and make a strong sort of symbol for america's commitment to a free pressure.
8:06 pm
let's think about this for a second bill. we have never -- there is no question about america's oldest ally and against us. we might not exist as a country without france. nobody question our free press. they were the guys who created a free press. while there would have been stylistic points to sending somebody on, the substance of working with the french government to provide intelligence, share intelligence, coordinate militarily if necessary and to prevent that something like this never happened again, that's the important thing that's why forget what bernie goldberg says or ralph peters. the office has come out and said it's been extraordinary gesture first thing he did when he returned from vacation. >> nobody united states and france are friends. what we are seeing now, i
8:07 pm
believe is, a president who is disengaged. james folly beheaded this summer. president comes out, says you know it's really bad and goes and plays golf. terrible gaffe. >> come on, bill. you can't think that the president wasn't mortified by that? >> i don't know what he he was but it was a terrible gaffe. it made him look in and the united states look bad. now he does the same thing to a lesser extent. i don't think it's as bad as the folly deal. to less ebb expense when he had holder sitting in a cafe across the street. holder was fold to the it to show up. don't you to in that march there is a reason for are that. we don't know what the reason is. we asked the attorney general today and we got a bunch of gobblely giewk. macy the question why can is president obama to dust engaged in the jihad and the answer is speculative at this point. >> i don't think he is bill. i will refute the premise. >> you think it was okay for
8:08 pm
him to go golfing after folly. and okay not to have holder show up? >> stay on this. >> killed. i'm staying on topic here. you are saying he has been disengaged from the war on terror. >> correct. >> i'm telling you, he wept in removed qaddafi. we have killed more terrorists under this organization. >> he didn't remove qaddafi. the other people removed qaddafi. come on. >> do you remember usama bin laden? he was also somebody under the president's leadership was assassinated? how was he disengaged. >> still languaging p with a pakistan president. you don't have any problem be with the president playing golf after folly is gee headed and no problem having him go to that demonstration. >> bill, you are doing exactly what msnbc hosts did when the president
8:09 pm
presidency was playing golf. you same being-like to have no problem with golf after folly and him ordering holder not to go. >> you and don't know what i understand could of confidential briefings he is having. what i understand could of intersection he is receiving, what kind of decision discussion he has is having on the phone and with the heads of state across the world. i don't think it's particularly constructive to keep calling it islamic jihadism or extremism. >> why not call it timothy mcveigh republican extremism. >> going back to a blast from the past. >> all right mr. hanna. >> let's not foreguest the french police officer who was muslim. >> they are hijacking. >> showing up at the eventually that as it may we appreciate your time. juan and mary katharine will react by the president and
8:10 pm

8:12 pm
8:13 pm
continuing now with our lead story. the obama administration admitting made a big mistake in not sending a big shot to the anti-jihadist movement in paris. with us now in new york mary katharine ham and juan williams. how do you see this. >> the president made a mistake. i think it was a mistake of the like like i you said early beheading of james folly and going golfing. we should have shown solidarity with people against islamic terrorism. i will say that i think, you know, it was 10 years ago president bush didn't go to madrid after more than 100 people were killed. >> i don't have any beef with him not going.
8:14 pm
president of the united states tough for him not to get picked up and go over there i don't have any beef with him not going personally. but your pal, your close personal friend, eric holder, is he over there. all right? he is looking at the eiffel towery. he is having a little croissant, okay? all he has to do is walk across the street. are you telling me not too long there juan. we called him today. we called him and said why didn't you go? gobblably gook. unbelievable bilge. >> he didn't belong. >> secretary of state. >> the attorney general is there, you put him there. >> look, the attorney general was there let me tell you the fad news. the attorney general was there working on intelligence matters. >> oh, that's good. >> intelligence had told the french that one of those guys had traveled to yemen. it was a breakdown of the
8:15 pm
party can walk and chew gum at the same time. >> the reason no one includingth media. and including the white house itself cannot cup a good explanation for are this because there is not a good excuse for. this there isn't, juan. this was incredibly moving and rare event. the day the world stood together we will not van nirn without a fight. the united states of america decided not to be present. that's deplorable. >> it only took them. speaker: years to come in this conclusion. that's all it took them. they are finally there and we can't show -- we can't put our attorney general's in town on that little rope line there. [i mean, it's ridiculous. >> your accent is impeccable. >> i worked on that all afternoon. >> extra isn't croissant. i want mary kathleen to do it first. the president is disengaged now. wherever he is i think he is global warming income redistribution obamacare. this other stuff is an an annoyance to him.
8:16 pm
is he not going to confront the jihad. he want to get the hell out of afghanistan of guilty he doesn't like any of it he says lack, i'm not going to do anything so levy me alone. that's what it is. >> i any you are exactly right. this was not on their front burner. it got past people. whether incompetence or ideology you jrnghts you say to that wawnel what? >> i didn't know the two of you. >> it's our priority to get there. >> how you can blame america? america is the ones out there fighting. >> we want representation. >> that they didn't show up here. >> hey, healed on a second. you can't get the europeans to go over there and put people on the ground, put money on the ground. americans waging those fights you are not only talking about the president you are talking about our soldiers and our intelligence officials. >>
8:17 pm
wait, wait. you are doing exactly what mark hanna did. >> how is that? >> nobody is arguing that the the united states is the primary source against the jihad. all right? >> we are. >> nobody is arguing that we are arguing that president obama in his last two years is so disengaged, all right that he doesn't know how to react after an american is beheaded and he doesn't know how to react after 12 people were killed in paris. he. >> you are talking about. >> he doesn't know how to react. >> everybody has said to you tonight. i don't think there is nobody who said he made a mistake. pattern of behavior. >> bill, don't get lost in the weeds. the key thing is here are you waging a fight against islamic terror? are you putting yourself your money and your children your soldiers on the line and he doing that. >> the president tillablely and the administration want credit for acting like they are engaged for this being a priority for them when they are not acting like it is.
8:18 pm
if it is a priority you get somebody over there. the president's symbolism, he loves this kind of thing. when this is the symbol, you get yourself there and you make it happen. it was important and we missed it. >> directly ahead, somebody, and i remember exactly who it was predicted mitt romney would run for president once again that person it sawlg. but rather how did he know. >> later why liberals love muslims andlights watters on who americans admire those you get sick you can't breathe through your nose suddenly, you're a mouth breather. a mouth breather! well, put on a breathe right strip and shut your mouth. cold medicines open your nose over time, but add a breathe right strip and pow, it opens your nose up to 38% more. so you can breathe and do the one thing you want to do
8:19 pm
sleep. add breathe right to your cold medicine shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. and look for the calming scent of new breathe right lavender in the sleep aisle.
8:20 pm
8:21 pm
personal story segment tonight. let's go back to september 8th, 2014. when we were talking politics. >> i'm saying romney is running.
8:22 pm
that's what i'm saying. i could be wrong. you know but very rarely am i as you both know. >> well after months of denying it, governor romney now says is he considering a run for the presidency. joining us from washington allison barber who writes for the washington free beacon and from charlie'sville dr. larry sabato, teaches politics at the university of virginia. i know you have been watching the if a being tore for years, doctor. i just continue to amaze don't i? when i said that oh, no, no, no. everybody went to oh no, no, no, no no. i knew he was going to run. deep in your heart you knew he was going to run, didn't you? >> well, you know the only cure for presidential eye tits is being six feet under in a comfy pine box. >> he came so close and president obama let's face it, is he a controversial president. his approval anybody's are not very strong, allison,
8:23 pm
and and i think romney is seeking just what richard nixon shot. redemption. >> i think in some ways. i also think he really genuinely believes this is the job that he was meant to do so he kind of wants to finish what he started. and whenever i speak to anybody who works on the campaign and has worked in romney's campaign in the past the thing i always ask when we talk about romney i'm always interested to hear people who think romney was going to run much more convinced he was going to run and people tell me is probably not. that's something i consistently notice even if i was one of those people saying he probably won't run. the people thought he were were always much more confident. >> i never had a doubt that the governor was going to run because i know the governor. and i know that he even though it's his own fault that he lost, absolutely his own fault, he could have run. he didn't do what was necessary. we will get into that down the road. right now it sets up a jeb bush vs. mitt romney situation, doctor. where both can raise serious money.
8:24 pm
both are moderate republicans, and that's going to be an interesting race. >> it will be. two dynasties in a way. both of them have anti-see dents who run for president. what's interesting in an odd way, bill, this opens up the field to some the other candidates that we might not have heard as much about. simply because i don't think it's enough to have bush and romney shooting it out day after day. there are going to be a lot of side stories like, for example, governor scott walker of wisconsin. >> withdrew congressman ryan is not going to run. i think mike huckabee will. >> which helps walker. >> the governors, i'm not sure about yet. you have kasich in ohio doing a good job. perry down in texas he would like to do it. walker in wisconsin i think will do it. i think walker will get. in they will don't have the name recognition or 00 money that the other two have.
8:25 pm
i suspect that maybe there will be an alliance. maybe there will be a romney jeb bush ticket possible. what do you think? >> i don't know. i do think initially who this is probably not going to hurt. you hear a lot of people talking about this. they share donors. is it going to mess up bush's fundraising efforts in these are two candidates who k. raise a substantial amount of money who it is going to hurt is people like scott walker and chris christie. when you move down and say theoretically romney does run and so does jeb bush both of them on a primary ticket. there you see a potential where you split the core of the presidential electorate and may have someone like a rand paul or one of those establishment candidates lower down in the poll shot coming up and prevailing through the middle. >> through the offset though, these guys formidable with name recognition means a lot. even rand paul who on the cable channels people know him. but out in the general population, they don't know him, doctor. it takes a long time to get known in this country. whereas romney and jeb bush
8:26 pm
are very well known. i think that's a big advantage it is a big advantage. you could have two separate races. you could have establishment race among jeb bush, mitt romney and say chris christie and then you could have another contest among the other contenders as to who is going to rise to be the challenger to the eventual winner from the establishment side. i think this is a race that's going to prove interesting for a long time. i think it's the most race in decades if romney and jeb bush go after each other. other competent get. in sitting there like and this raising that money and watches these guys. maybe they will hone their act. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. as gas prices go down the politicians in d.c. want to raise gas taxes. i say gas price informs go down right? to get more money from you.
8:27 pm
wait until you hear where your tax dollars are going. we'll have a factor investigation and then watters world. american heroes and goldberg on why liberals like muslims. i hope you stay tuned to those reports.
8:28 pm
sheila! you see this ball control? you see this right? it's 80% confidence and 64% knee brace. that's more... shh... i know that's more than 100%. but that's what winners give. now bicycle kick your old 401(k) into an ira. i know, i know. listen, just get td ameritrade's rollover consultants on the horn. they'll guide you through the whole process. it's simple. even she could do it. whatever, janet. for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this. (woman) the constipation and belly pain feel tight like a vise. how can i ease this pain? (man) when i can't go, it's like rocks piling up. i wish i could find some relief. (announcer) ask your doctor about linzess-- a once-daily capsule for adults with ibs with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation.
8:29 pm
linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements. it helps you proactively manage your symptoms. do not give linzess to children under 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include, gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. bottom line, ask your doctor about linzess today.
8:30 pm
impact segment tonight. apparently hackers suspected of being islamic terrorist sympathizers got into the twitter account for the u.s. central command. >> i can tell you that this is something we are looking
8:31 pm
into and something that we take seriously. however, i just -- a note of caution to folks as they are covering this story pretty significant difference between what is a large data breach and the hacking of a twitter account. >> with us now melissa francis from our sister network fox business, you see her 2:00 p.m. weekdays. i don't understand any of this twitter stuff. >> you love the twitter i have people to tweet for me. i tell what to say but i'm afraid of the machines. this is basically a device for the u.s. centcom to get some messages out to the world, right? >> it was cleverly hacked and taken over. we don't know necessarily who did this. it looks like it was somebody with isis. it could be just sympathizers. they wrote silly things like i love isis on the front page. looked like. >> embarrassing isn't it. >> very embarrassing. >> very embarrassing to the united states to have a twitter account attached to the military and then these
8:32 pm
idiots go in and mock it and tear it up you know look, i don't know what the future is on this thing but i i just think it's not going the way we want it to go. >> you make a great point. ridiculous for center come to have a twitter account. what has hacked was not their computer it was twitter computer. you talk to security experts why are you operating on twitter servers then? not go overboard on the thing. gas praises way down. with the folks. 18 cents a gallon whatever you buy goes to the feds. all right? price is low. and people are not using as much gas. >> demand is low. >> to so, they want to raise the gas tax from 18 cents to 25 cents or something like that. we don't know how much.
8:33 pm
they haven't raised it since 1993. but my beef is that the money that they raise supposed to go to the highways and bridges they are all complaining are falling down and they don't. they don't spend the money there. where do they spend. >> it they point to the crumbling bridges and say we need more money. that's the only solution. what the heck are you doing with the money we already gave you? it turns out there is all kinds of boondoggles we dug into it. ridiculous things in there last year they spent a billion dollars on bike paths, hiking trails. education for pedestrians. i don't know what that is. museums. >> museums for transportation in kentucky in december of 2014, as they were going around, talking about this thing going bankrupt. they built the mike hayden transportation museum in kentucky. >> that's mitch mcconnell and rand paul bringing that bacon home. >> a million dollars on this thing tell people about the his tri of transportation in their state while bridges are crumbling. >> they do what they always do. 38 billion in gas tanks the feds did. they spent a 3 billion.
8:34 pm
the highway trust fund. so, you know, i can't evened a 15 billion in debt. isn't that how rupp the household. >> if i had somebody throwing money in to me for free every year i wouldn't either and they don't. the final thing want to talk to you about is the keystone pipeline is going to pass the senate and the house. the president is going to veto it. all right? now, his veto could be overridden. that's how construction works. people come in to build the poop line. once the pipeline is built. the oil comes in the gulf coast. it gets refined and sold in the area. the price of oil goes down. we are getting something out of it. ridiculous. >> how much canadian oil do we got to sell in the united states. >> first of all illegal to sell oil outside of the u.s. once it's here. )fined and stay here
8:35 pm
anyway. >> we refine it in louisiana? >> yes, we can he is export the refined product that goes to the closest customer. >> how much of the oil from the shale fields in canada is going to come in to us that we are going to have it and not have to buy it from overseas, do you know? >> all of it. if we don't get the pipeline they will for sure send to china. that's for sure. they have already said that they said it's not like it's going to come out of the ground. if we could come up with that stated how much oil that the canadians are going to put through the pipeline is going to be used in america to drive the prices down and control our exports. >> you mean beyond once it's refined? >> yeah. >> how much it's going to stay here. >> and how much is going to be sold out? >> i mean right now we consume almost everything we make it's 8% exported out of what is consumed. >> that's what i want to know once we get it done it's going to be hard for the president to. >> drives down the price of oil all around the country all around the world. >> if it goes.

8:40 pm
thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly in the weekdays with bernie segment tonight. told you in the talking points memo some media outlets are very worried about the backlash to muslims in general because of all the islamic terrorism around the world. that's the headline for them not confronting the jihad and stopping it. and it's strange because you don't get sympathy for christians or jews from that crowd very often. joining me from miami mr. goldberg and you say let's get the easy stuff out of the way first. no love lose between journalists and the catholic church one, the church is against abortion. two, the church is against gay marriage and three, the church is against allowing women to become priests. these are not search values, these are liberal and liberal journalist values. and because so many journalists are not only
8:41 pm
liberal but also secular liberals. like the church a lot more if the church adopted their it doesn't work that way. as for the muslims, a lot of liberals at the "new york times" and other places see muslims as oppressed. they see them as in the crosshairs of right wing bigots, whether it's in europe or in america and being the liberals that they are they determine that he this be the protecters so they will write editorials about how their potentially in danger because of what happened in paris and all that. the secular liberal many eighth its they desurprise catholics and fundamental lists as well islam is the most repressive religion on earth. i mean, if you are gay, they
8:42 pm
find out you are gay,. >> it's not that they are not going to let you get married. you will be lucky if you got your hands and legs attached to you. women brutalized, abortion unheard of. i mean, come on bill, this is what makes it almost i want to make clear almost funny. the worst thing -- i don't share the views of the catholic church on these social issues okay? so i have no problem with gay marriage. i'm for it actually. the catholic church is against it. but the worse you can accuse the catholic church of is discrimination if you are a liberal. if you guys are walking down the arab street in the middle east holding hands. they will wake up dead in the morning. >> they won't have hands to hold in iran they will be thrown in a dungeon. let's advance the story a little bit more.
8:43 pm
when the priest pedophilia stands broke as horrible as it was and everybody should know i am roman catholic getting that cardinal law booted out of this country. i led that charge against that man because it was just outrageous what they were doing. i read nowhere gee, you know the good catholics are getting tarnished by. this we have to stick up for the good catholics, the sincere people who followed jesus. but you didn't get any of that. >> so shear a theory. okay tell me what you think of this theory. the media we know they have a liberal bias but it isn't play tant most of the time. they can't come out and say look, we're for abortion rights and we are for gay marriage and we are for equality of women so that's why we don't like the church, to use your word that's why we detest the catholic church, they can't say that so any time there is a scandal think jump on it. >> big time. >> they salivate. they salivate at the
8:44 pm
opportunity. unfortunately, there have been enough scandals to keep them busy. >> absolutely. >> but they salivate over that the way they salivate over a scandal that involves conservative republicans instead of liberal democrats. >> all right. and then the muslim religion, you know let's not be mean to the muslims but the muslims are very mean to other people and it doesn't add up. it doesn't equate. i think you nailed it they feel that muslims are oppressed by the big satan america that we did it. and we caused it. >> correct. >> bernie goldberg, everybody, watters on deck. who do americans really admire? then kelly and i appear during the cowboys packers game. wow. right back.
8:45 pm
8:46 pm
8:47 pm
8:48 pm
