american family back in the 1960's. but today most american kids don't have a traditional family. charles krauthammer has some thoughts. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ i'm bill o'reilly, thank you for watching us tonight. blame france that is the evening talking points memo. the debate over muslim extremism continues to rage here in the u.s.a. and in western europe. some liberal folks believe religion should not be part of the equation that most muslims are good people and the jihadists should not be associated with islamic theology. that seems to be president obama's point of view as well. but after the paris massacre, the french government no longer believes that. >> what i want to say is as the french prime minister has said, we are at war. we are at war with radical

islam. it means that right now that islam and in a sense muslims are the first victims. but islam is breeding you know radicalism which is quite dangerous for everybody. >> the key line from the ambassador is islam is breeding radicalism which is quite dangerous for everybody. and that's true. just today belgium authorities shot it out with some jihadists, killing two men who were heavily armed. apparently the men had ties to syria. but no matter how many jihadist incidents take place, it's tough to convince the left wing zealots to see things clearly. >> there is a prevailing feeling in france among many muslims that they are not treated as part of the state at large. there is a feeling there that muslims may be bullied, that they may be pushed to the side. they passed a law recently that banned the full face veil which many muslims took as an affront because it's a religious belief.

>> so because france wants to remain a secular society they have invited islamic terrorism according to mr. burk. apologists for the jihad used to be considered cranks and dismissed. now we have the "new york times" leading the way on the leave the muslims alone front. another column today by nicholas kristof complaining about me and others who want the muslim world to be accountable to fight the jihad. kristof is a chief apologist for the excessive islam. to too afraid to fight the issue hiding under his desk typing out columns. it's flat out dangerous as newt gingrich wrote in the "wall street journal" today the only solution the only solution to worldwide terrorism is for the muslim nations themselves to aggressively combat it and ally themselves with merge and the -- america and the west. that has not happened with the noted exemptions jordan, morocco and sometimes egypt. the cold truth that the left will never admit is that violence against infidels is

accepted even encouraged in most muslim nations. there are violent imams everywhere, including the u.s.a. we spotlighted some of the radical mosques here last night. there is zero chance that president obama will change his point of view. everyone working for him knows they is not going to confront the jihad or put pressure on muslim nations to confront the problem. even as reports say isis is and from london, adam barron, a fellow at the european fellow on council relations. you just returned from

yemen. how strong is al qaeda in that country: i think there is no question that al qaeda maintains a presence in yemen and manages to find safe haven in lot of yemen's rugged and deserted area. i would take issue with your statements yemen continues to be on the front line in the war on terror. do you have yemeni troops widely seen as a close u.s. ally continuing to lead the way in combating al qaeda in the arabian peninsula both in the military offensive that occurred last year and another one that occurred two years prior to that. >> small backwater a weak army it does cooperate with the united states. but there are no u.s. troops there and jihad there is very very wrong. you know that. you know that yemen is a dangerous place? i think it's problematic to take a myopic view on that and the fact that the primary targets of the jihad in yemen are not americans.

people getting killed on the front lines every day due to violence in yemen are muslims. to act like this is something crippling the west and taking that view is deeply problematic. >> mr. bay ron. we know the terrorist people trained there. if they can get over to america they will. by point is, this by and large the arab nations and the muslim nations, all right, have not allied themselves with the u.s.a. yemen is an exception. but it's a weak nation. they really can't do much else than survive. now, mr. fleiss. >> i would take issue with that statement. >> that's why we have you on the program mr. barron. >> absolutely. >> mr. fleiss will disagree with you. how do you see it? >> well, what i see is that the administration thinks we are at war with violent extremists. bill, we are not at war with specific terrorists or terrorism, we're at war with an ideology, radical islam. and the administration is not engaged in a debate just with republicans or the american right.

they are engaged in a debate with the entire world which has said very clearly this is the case. but the administration continues to deny it. >> okay. but as mr. barron said, there are some nations that are allied with the united states but overall, there are sanctuaries all over the world for al qaeda, for isis for other islamic groups to do damage, and that's got to stop. that's the crux of the matter right from fleitz? >> that's exactly right. i agree with newt gingrich that the islamic world has to move against this. but the united states also needs a strategy similar to what president reagan did to fight totalitarianism in the 80's. we need an nstd 75 to unite the entire u.s. government to fight radical islam. tomorrow the center for security policy will have a press conference at the national press club at noon. it will be streamed on our web site secure freedom.org where we are going to release a comprehensive strategy to commit the

united states government to defeat this threat. >> okay. and i assume a lot thoof strategy has to do with getting other muslim nations beside yemen and morocco involved in the fight. you have to do that. now, mr. baron, you have to understand the anger in the united states because you are over in london, that the president of the united states has ordered his guys not to say islamic terrorism. and indeed didn't send anybodyparis when the other 40 world leaders demonstrated against islamic terrorism. so there is a deep anger here against the president. do you understand that? >> i mean i can understand the points you are saying, yes. >> okay. but i do understand -- i think it's important in this case it's important to realize that america's true allies and the world's allies this is not a matter of the u.s. versus the world. the world's truest ally defeating islamic is muslims

on the ground. >> saudi arabia give lip service but allow it to go off the chart. not getting anywhere after 14 years mr. baron with those nations. got to stop. >> i mean, i would certainly take issue with the number of policies of the united states with saudi arabia and with pakistan. but the fact is this is a dramatic fight that i think the muslim world is facing right now. and, in reality, this is something that only muslims can truly deal with. >> well, they are not doing a goob job. 14 years and now isis controlling thousands of miles of territory. only muslim nations can deal with it, they ain't dealing with it i'm going to give mr. fleitz the last word. >> to treat isis as -- sorry. to treat isis is distant from the iraq war. i'm sorry. go for it. >> all in the same hopper. they are all islamic extremists, give us a 30 second preview of what your group is going to say tomorrow mr. fleitz.

>> he zeal a comprehensive strategy intelligence diplomacy, economic strategy. it's going to be across the board. it's going to try to fix the united states government which has been distorted by the obama administration's refusal to acknowledge this threat. >> all right, gentlemen, thanks for the debate. next on the rundown, the president will sponsor a summit on violent extremism. not jihad, violent extremism across the board next month ed henry will tell us all about it latest, charles krauthammer halls some thoughts on terrorism and the decline of the traditional american family. the factor is coming right back. music: melodic, calm music. hi this is conor. sorry i missed you. i'm either away from my desk or on another call... ... please leave a message and i'll get back to you... ... just as soon as i'm available. thank you for your patience at this busy time. join us for stargazing with discovery at sea.

terrorist terrorists from gitmo was a topic of conversation. how could the president release five more gitmo detainees originally from unanimous frrms his national security team. >> isn't that still a problem of% of detainees wind up going back to terrorism could kill people in paris or washington it? >> is that's why this administration continues to pursue a very aggressive counter terrorism strategy. >> joining us now from d.c. ed henry. what percentage of detainees that are released go back to fight, did you say? i missed it. >> republican john mccain kelly ayotte, others have claimed it's 30% go back to the patel field. the white house insists it's 6%. they have independent analysis backing that up. so, bottom line though is what i was trying to press josh earnst on even if it is 6% and john mccain is wrong. 6% of these terrorists going

back to the battlefield. >> we saw painfully in paris could be real problems. >> what is the summit now in extremist here in washington and one of the things when we pressure josh earnst on in this week they want to talk about quote strats we could better pro-proceed pluralism and resilience and exiewnts. i am struggling a little. and that's why i prettied said why didn't you call this a summit on islamic extremism and josh earnst said look, there is other forms of violence extreesm. >> and we have to deal with ed henry. we do. >> obviously islamic extremism is the one that is threading, unfortunately tragically all these incidents in recent memory. >> of course. boston bombing. everybody knows that canada, australia. they goal back to mcveigh and all of this other business. now, i believe this is what

i believe, i believe that president obama is well aware that the american people think that he is far out on this issue. fox news poll shows that. it's not even close anymore. people don't feel that he is fighting the jihad the way he should be. i think he knows it. i don't think he cares. i think he just says i got less than two years left. i'm going to try to get my projects done, whatever they may be on the social front. and let the jihad pass down to whoever else is going to be president. i really believe that's what the man that's his mind set. >> i think i agree with you that he doesn't care about the criticism. i agree with you because his behavior, you can just -- the facts are there over the last week or two. he has continued pushing these state of the union proposals on the domestic front. >> that's right. >> despite the terrorist attacks in paris. you are right on that part. the idea if you are also saying, i want to make sure i have the language right. if you are saying that he doesn't care about islamic terror at all and he doesn't cared about potential for attacks here. i obviously disagree with

that. >> there is a difference between playing defense and playing offense, okay? what josh earnst told you a robust counter terrorism operation is true because if there is another 9/11, on american soil, president obama goes down in history as the worst president of all time. he is down there with buchanan and johnson. so, yes, they are on defense. do they want to defeat the jihad? no. >> well, okay. i agree with you they are on defense now. where i would say he has been on offensive before was taken out bin laden. >> those are are small ball. that's small ball. that's not big picture stuff. >> let me finish the thought which is that as recently as september, the president talked about being on offense in yemen and held it up in a speech to the american people. i think it was september 10th as a success story. >> it isn't. >> in yemen and look at what happened. >> but it isn't. >> one of the brothers, who was a mastermind last week in paris we now know trained

in yemen. >> that's what i just told mr. baron just came back from yemen. it's not a success story. the truth is that isis and al qaeda are getting stronger. they are killing more people he, and the president isn't -- doesn't have a strategy to deal with it. >> they are not on the run anymore, that's for sure. >> okay. ed henry. we'll have more on terrorism with charles krauthammer a bit later on. but, directly ahead some big-time republicans do not want mitt romney to run. right back with that.

impact segment tonight, the republican party trying to figure out what to do with mitt romney. geench might very well run for president. and that's not sitting too well with some in the g.o.p. recommendation we need new

energy. we need new blood. we need new ideas. >> i feel like i'm taking crazy pills at the idea of mitt romney running again. i think it's a terrible idea. >> i meet people i don't say i want mitt romney to run. >> he had a great chance of winning and he blew it. is he like a dealmaker that couldn't close the deal. >> however, according to a poll in iowa by town hall.com romney leads the pack with 21%, 18% uncertain. 14% jeb bush scott walker 10%. that's a strong number for mitt romney. joining us now from los angeles denise and here in the studio angela tantaros co-host of outnumbered at noon. what do you think about mitt romney. >> i don't think he should run again. i think he would make a great president but as candidate, trump was right. he didn't close the deal. is he very successful. i do think he knows how to turn failing companies around he was successful but he couldn't even explain his success.

what was overarching message mitt romney had this last election? >> he wasn't tough enough during the last campaign biggest issue that he could have hit the president on obamacare he takes that off the table because of romney care. he doesn't excite people. >> he had a chance in the third debate to really nail him on libya and he did not which we all were kind of. >> disappointed. >> i wasn't disappointed. i was perplexed. i wanted to he know what the strategy was. why wouldn't could you that you have a dead ambassador over there and explanation. >> he doesn't like to punch hard. he doesn't like to go negative. he thought he could run an all political campaign. when you look at his record in massachusetts. he has had so many different positions on some issues. >> a job overall running the state while he was in office because i lived there and he did. gentleman niece, when he see romney recycled, the man is able to raise a lot of

money. iowa, i was surprised 2 1% number in iowa. that's a good number. because that's a conservative state iowa, in the republican precincts. and so i mean i don't think you can discount him. >> well, no. you can't discount him but if you can win the white house without the hispanic vote, then maybe you can count him in. i think we could all agree that the hispanic vote play as significant role in next presidential election. and didn't seem to come up for him. he was after dole who got 21% when he ran. he had the lowest of any republican, 27% of hispanics supported him. so i think, you know, in terms of mitt romney, i think he is really finding no. because only a year ago he gave an interview where he said no 11 scon seq.ive times regarding his run for presidency. i think mitt romney no means maybe could he be a candidate?

i doubt that he could win. >> i told everybody in september i doubt he would run because he was saying. no behind the scenes, we know who he is talking to. here is the key. this is interesting. i knew mitt romney was going to run for president when he got up on a summer morning at 6:00 a.m., even earlier because it might have been out on the west coast to talk to chris wallace and put on a tie. 6:00 in the morning probably earlier if he is in la jolla okay? put on a tie and talked to chris wallace. what human being on earth would get up at 6:00 in the morning on sunday to talk to chris wallace if you weren't running? >> are you insulting mitt romney. >> i'm not insulting anybody. i'm like sherlock holmes. i see the whole picture. i deduce. that was a deduction. you don't get up to talk to chris. is he is a good guy but you don't do it unless there is something there. >> well democrats would have you believe mitt romney water skis in a tie because is he so uptight. so, yeah i get that you are insulting chris wallace. >> i'm not insulting anybody. >> but, bill that 21%

that's all name i.d. in that poll. >> it doesn't matter. >> this is his third time running. another thing, hold on jennice, this is the real issue too bill, democrats have the playbook where to defeat him. they know where he is going to throw the ball. >> different world now and different person running for president in hillary clinton than barack obama so, yes, they know how to attack and you would think that romney and mitt would hire guys that say look, this is what you did wrong last time. go ahead jennice what did you want to say. >> i want to say i don't want much importance in this poll because 2016 is years decades away. and it's an entire lifetime away from look at the margin of error, he is only 3 points away from the undecided. jeb bush is not even the candidate per se. i think you are seeing that the people poll just remembered that the last guy to run and lose for the republicans was mitt romney. and that's what he gets in there. >> i'm a pretty good poll guy. we have the al sharpton's poll that i'm going to

ramadan geraldo's throat in a minute. >> did i say that outloud. >> you are very mean tonight. i can't believe imagine a woman using the war on women hillary clinton against mitt romney. he would flounder again. >> you think so? >> i do. i know so. >> romney is such a nice guy. >> no one is debating that. is he a nice guy. no one is debating that. >> all right ladies, got to go. it would be nice to talk to you all evening. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. recently geraldo was talking up al sharpton i said we do a poll. result are next. charles krauthammer on the the decline of the traditional american family and the war on terror. we hope you stay tuned to those reports. then you don't know "aarp." life reimagined gives you tools and support to get the career you'll

shooting down black people? >> well the study that you refer to is a study that was done in a lab in washington state university. and to make a very long story short, we had a bunch of volunteers, including police officers, citizens and military people who went in to what we call an immemberrive environment where they looked at scenarios being played out and it turns out that the participants were slower to shoot when a black suspect portrayed on a screen presented a deadly threat as compared to white and hispanic suspects. >> did they say why they were slower to shoot? >> they didn't say. that wasn't part of the study. they weren't debriefed. the working hypothesis is that perhaps, what's going on is that people are very attuned to the facts about concerns about racial bias and prejudice if they reacted too quickly to a threat from a black suspect and so they waited to make sure that there was, in fact, a gun as opposed to a wallet or cell phone before they fired. >> okay. just so everybody knows, you had to press a button to

fire in the simulation that these volunteers were put into. and was across the board that if you were caucasian oration, you were more likely to be buttoned than if you were black. okay. so now in your research -- >> -- what we he did. >> go ahead. >> right. well, what we did in our study, wasn't just a button pushing thing. it was situation where research subjects had a real gun modified to fire laser impulses. consequently it wasn't the button pushing experiments that others had done. this was truly a shoot don't shoot as opposed to push this button or that button. that's important for your viewers to understand. >> as a former police officer yourself you researched the book into the kill zone and you talked to a lot of people. the message is out there that, you know, some feel the american police actually have it in for in a very violent way. do you believe that?

>> i didn't find that i have interviewed over 300 police officers around the country in a variety of settings. 300 in federally funded research and there is really two things your viewers need to understand. number one police officers don't want to shoot anybody, the great untold story about american police officers use use of deadly force is the vast majority of situations where they have lawful warrant to shoot to hold their fire. in particular, when it comes to shooting at black citizens, officers many of them, have told me that they really didn't want to shoot because they understand that there will be a more robust critique, could be accused of racism so on and so forth. so that the contention that american police are hunting down black people to kill them is not true in your opinion? it's not supported by the research that i have done. not supported by any other research that any other scholar has done either. >> doctor we appreciate it thank you. we come right back, al

weeks ago about al sharpton. >> we're going to do a fox news poll question, all right? just like we did here. >> let me write the question not you. >> do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of al sharpton? is that fair? favorable or unfavorable? here are the results of the brand new fox news poll. just 19% of americans have a favorable view of sharpton. 59% negative. 21% have no clue as far as black americans concerned 56% favorable 15% unfavorable. 16% don't know. er other category, including democrats do not like mr. sharpton. joining me from los angeles to tell me how brilliant i am geraldo rivera. >> you know i think your story is an accurate story. i just think your emphasis is wrong bill. when you suggest that al sharpton is americans. you are literally and

obviously mathematically correct. when you factor in his popularity among his constituency african-americans black people, is he enormously popular. >> not enormously. >> 60% is pretty enormous. >> 56, 28 and 21 don't know who he is or 16 don't care. the fact is that anyone anyone can carve out a sliver of favorability by i'm not going to even describe it. but we have a man who has tax problems to the tune of millions of dollars we have a guy who has been accused of shaking down businesses for personal gain. we have a very, very controversial history and you know it he very well. i don't have to go through it again. and now today geraldo, and you are out in l.a. it's perfect. come back it to me. we know what he looks like.

al sharpton is appallingly insulted about the academy awards. he calling for an emergency meeting in hollywood to discuss possible action against the oscars because no black actors or actresses were nominated. now, selma was nominated for best picture but he is appallingly insulted. >> well, you know, i just -- just take sell marks i only saw the clips. i haven't seen the movie yet. it looks great. oprah winfrey did it the acting looks terrific. everybody that i know that has seen it is inspired by it what did it get shut out for best song -- >> best picture. nominated for best picture. >> good theme song of theirs and then it got best picture. that's great. none of the actors, i mean, come on. >> maybe it was -- i didn't see it. >> maybe people sincerely don't like it. >> bill, my point is this. al sharpton's constituency really likes him a lot.

he is the man for the black civil rights movement the fact that you don't like him is irrelevant. tax cheat could be put in that category, you know he. >> that's a different issue. >> it's not a different issue. the everyone is that forever whatever reason martin luther king isn't here anymore and nobody is really taking his place. i think his son, martin luther king iii, i wish he would be more visible. but it's just sad to me. it really is. >> but if you look at the contemporary press about the personality of martin luther king jr. you see a man who was -- was suspected of the same kinds of shenanigans as al sharpton. you had the fbi director was all martin luther king. >> i know what i'm talking about here. >> as adulterer this that, and the other thing. the fact of the matter is black people admire al sharpton selma and other

films is correct. >> does not deserve admiration where martin luther king despite his personal life did. >> is that for us to say? >> yeah, sure it is. of course it is. >> he doesn't represent us. >> we are in business. >> we're in business to analyze the facts. all right? america is america. we're all in it together. i mean if somebody is a chart ton and is under investigation for irs problems to the tune of millions and has done what the man has done, i mean, it's absolutely fair game. this guy is a shakedown guy. that's in my opinion what he is. >> also the only person who can get fifth thousand people to demonstrate on fifth avenue at the click of his finger on a perceived wrong and the fact that he. >> perceived wrong. >> complaining about the lack of nominations. he is the only one who would have the credibility to make that complaint. >> eye yayah. it's a bad situation. you are backing the wrong. >> people see it differently. >> you are backing the wrong pony here. >> i'm not backing anybody. i'm merely pointing out black people have anointed al sharpton as their guy. >> you love the man and

backing the wrong pope you really are i want to get into de blasio another guy you back who is just a big villain and running the city down like crazy we don't have time. we will do it next week. >> shattered in terms of the racial divide it's terrible. >> the cops don't like him. and now he is giving out free ids that terrorists can get. it's insane. >> it's a municipal i.d. that is long overdue. >> the terrorists can get, geraldo. anybody can get it it? >> terrorists can get that card they can get any other card. >> no they can't. that's the easiest card to in the country to get. >> don't you want to know who is here inventory of the 500,000 undocumented immigrants in our town. >> we can do that in a very orderly way, not in this chaotic here is an i.d. that the police have to respect and you can be a terrorist and get it. that's insane. and that's what's happening. but geraldo is out say in l.a. for the trump show right? >> for the celebrity apprentice and he would have to have you on the next

back of the book segment tonight, analysis by the pugh research center says for the first time in american history most children are not living in a home with two married heterosexual parents in their first marriage. in fact, the exact number is 46% in a traditional situation. joining us now from washington to assess what that means,

charles krauthammer. so for baby boomers like you and me in our lifetime we have seen a dramatic change in the american family. how do you assess it? >> well, there would be two explanations, one is that marriage is more unstable. i don't think that explains the new numbers. it is true that divorce rate doubled between 1960 and 1980. it more than doubled. but in the last 30 or so years it has now settled back to somewhere between those two numbers. so the divorce rate after exploding has actually declined. so that can't be the explanation. the explanation i think most obviously is what we used to call illegitimacy, which is single parenthood. which has exploded. it is now at 41%, that is unprecedented in sort of modern

history. it's kind of a social experiment with results we don't see. but we surely know any child raised by one parent is going to have a much harder time in general in terms of education discipline socialization, economic possibilities. all of those are diminished. and it is an epidemic that is at the root of many of the social -- >> particularly the african-american community with 71% out of wedlock birthrate now. you can stem back poverty. every stat says if you're a single mom and have two or three kids you're going to be poor. >> it's got an effect also on the white working class, which has suffered enormous increase in that as well. >> right. well, why is this happening? why do people having babies when birth control is very, very accessible, abortion i don't

believe in it but obviously it's accessible. why is it happening? >> the major factor i think is the lack of stigma attached to it. and it seems to me for the individual you want to be humane, you want to be sympathetic for the individual it's a good thing that there is no stigma. but collectively for society when the rate hits 41% it is a disaster for a society. it's a good thing for society in general when you're at 50, 60 million on food stamps, it's a bad thing. it's a dilemma, it's really hard to figure out. should we have stigma or not? but certainly the removal of the stigma, the normalization of illegitimacy has been a catastrophe for society. and we're going to suffer the consequences. >> we are. we are now. okay, let's get to terrorism. i asked ed henry if president obama really cares about

defeating the jihad, not protecting the nation. i believe he wants to protect the nation but defeating the jihad, taking the aggressive action that would be necessary to do that i don't think he's got his heart in it you say? >> i think that for him it's not the reason he came to the presidency. in the same way that on domestic affairs he talks about reforming entitlements and all that, but he hasn't lifted a finger for that because what he cares on domestic affairs is about equality, it's about climate change, it's about all these other things. and, you know, when it comes to entitlements he'll say the words, but he doesn't really care. in foreign policy he cares about essentially appeasing our enemies, or as he would say making overtures to our enemies the russians, the iranians with the nuclear program. he sees his mission as the one who makes america sort of popular again in the world.

he doesn't see to be the president who defeated islamic terrorism. he knows he has to do it. he knows he has to protect the nation. so he does the drone strikes and he says the right words. but if you look at what he's said overall, the nonappearance in paris, the way he's downplayed the paris attacks the way they writeoff all the lone wolf attacks, the workplace violence in talking about ft. hood, the abolition of the terminology the war on terror that's not why he became president. and that's not what he cares about. so he does the minimum. he does the silent stuff. he does the stuff that you don't see, the drone attacks. and as you said a little earlier, he will now pass it off to his successor. >> yes, he will. that's for sure. thanks, charles.
