to "the factor." again, thanks for watching us tonight. ms. megyn is next. remember the spib spin stops here because we're definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight, three big stories raising new questions about americans security. first, chaos reigns in one of the worst terror hot spots in the world after radical forces take control of yemen. second, one of our best allies in the middle east saudi king abdullah just died creating what sources tell fox news creating a worst case scenario. and third, israeli media out with satellite images of what it calls "new iranian intercontinental ballistic missiles." bigger, stronger and capable of flying farther than before as talks drag on with tehran about playing nice. all this after president obama seemed to suggest on tuesday night that things are getting

better in the middle east, suggesting we have turned the page on terror. and that's where we begin a busy night on "the kelly file" everyone. welcome everyone. i'm megyn kelly. all of this is far away, but all of it could directly affect your safety. first, yemen, where the u.s. allied government has fallen. now we're told there's anarchy in the place that's home to the worst and most lethal branch of al qaeda. then, in just the last couple of hours we learned saudi king abdullah has died at age 90. his successor is pro-western but told that creates a big headache. we'll get to that in a moment. first, fox news just got this video from channel 2 in israel. it shows what we are told is a brand new intercontinental ballistic missile just outside of tehran, potentially capable of reaching far beyond the middle east. something the pentagon warned could be in development two years ago. we will get to all of this with

ambassador john bolten who is here with me live in a moment. first to chief white house correspondent ed henry working overtime for us on the breaking news. ed. >> reporter: megyn, good to see you. this is really a dangerous trifecta iran edging closer yemen government has fallen and fears king abdullah's death could rock the already volatile oil markets. i remember the king was already ailing last march. when i went there his desert compound in saudi arabia with president obama, bottom line is the president just released a statement hailing the u.s.-saudi relationship as a force of security and stability in the middle east but you're seeing very little stability. the white house's strategy is in tatters. as recently as september remember the president hailed yemen as a success. right now it is in chaos. yet state department spokeswoman general psaki said earlier today we have not yet changed our security posture.

listen. >> anarchy is not enough to get you to adjust your presence? >> well, matt with all due respect to your assessment as an a.p. reporter we have the united states government and our team on the ground. >> okay. that's fine. >> -- assessing what is needed. we take it very seriously -- >> now, the president did some interviews earlier tonight with some youtube stars. he said in the world right now there's a "lot of bad stuff going on out there," an understatement saying the least. >> i'm sure glozell asked him all about yemen. ed, good to see you. as ed mentioned we've reached out to the state department and pentagon about these satellite pictures that reportedly show iranian missiles at what the israelis say are brand new missile sites just outside ft capital of tehran. iran's ballistic missile program is moving forward at full throttle. the israeli prime minister shared a warning about this

during an interview with charlie rose a little more than a year ago. >> by the way iran, charlie would not be interested in having one bomb or two bombs, they're gearing up for infrastructure for 200 bombs. and they're not developing those icbms for us. they can reach us with what they have. it's for you. it's for you. >> joining me now formerer ambassador to the united nations and fox news contributor. so catherine herridge citing a former u.s. diplomat close to the saudi royal family saying the death of king abdullah combined with the collapse of government in yemen is a worst case scenario for the united states. because why? current events are allowing iran to extend its reach and influence in a very dangerous region. >> right. what we're seeing across the middle east is a dissent into chaos, crisis in country after country is now spreading across the entire region. and these two developments what was left of the government of yemen collapsing, allowing a

pro-iranian shia sect coupled with the iranian territory in the former state of yemen meanwhile we are at risk of the saudis in the state of some confusion. they have a crown prince but it's far from a constitutionally stable government. all of those oil producing monarchies now squeezed on two sides from iran and with the threat of terrorism if not from al qaeda in the arabian peninsula from isis. the risk here is very high no doubt about it. when you add iranian ballistic missiles potentially capable of delivering nuclear missiles on us prime minister netanyahu said it's very dangerous for us. this is an absolute disaster. it's a policy of appeasement that president obama has pursued. and you'll see appeasement in short order. >> i don't think a lot of our viewers pay a lot of attention to yemen, but this group that's

now taken over they like to chant death to america death to israel. they keep those signs at the checkpoints. on the bright side they hate al qaeda too. they don't like american missile strikes. they don't like american drones unlike the government that just fell. and that's his whole policy there. that's what he was touting in his big address back in september. look at yemen, that's the model for the future. the model as ed reported is in tatters. >> that was just as delusional as his state of the union message. and the origin of the delusion goes back to his 2009 speech in cairo where he welcomed the arab spring and said this would be the answer to al qaeda. in fact, a stable pro-american government in yemen fell some time back this new government has always been at risk. and what the pro-iranian group -- >> nobody knows who they are. >> they want anarchy, so does

aqap. >> the reason we don't want anarchy in yemen is one of the worst adversaries, if there's anarchy in yemen guess what's going to happen? >> it's on the back door of the arabian peninsula with the saudis with a potential succession issue. >> you would think they would be on top of that watching yemen it'd been all over this could happen there might be a coup, the leadership might be falling. and you would be wrong. watch a little highlight of jen psaki today. >> it just happened. we've obviously seen the report. our team is seeking confirmation of all of the reports. we continue to support a peaceful transition. >> there is no government. >> i don't think we look at it -- we're still seeking confirmation. >> right. but you're referring to an agreement that came out yesterday between a government that no longer exists and a rebel force that appears to have control -- not just appears does have control of the capital. >> again, we don't have

confirmation of it. we're not going to jump to conclusions about what it means. >> what? >> it's bad enough when the president of the united states withdraws from his responsibilities in the wider world when the state department gives up on foreign affairs then you know we're in real trouble. i'm speechless at that kind of reaction. >> meantime we've got the two u.s. air carriers in the region now. and reports tonight that the embassy is being evacuated at least in part. and yet you've got the pentagon and state department saying today no change in strategy, we're good we're good. >> well, this is the consequence of years of neglect and the withdrawal of american influence. we're not entirely capable of changing everything, but one thing is clear. when the united states walks away from the middle east, it's a further invitation to chaos and it's exactly what we're getting. >> ambassador, good to see you. >> thank you. >> he just outlined the challenge from this breaking news in the middle east. and up next we will hear from governor scott walker who many call potential 2016 candidate. he's here to discuss the president's foreign policy and

the issue of leadership. plus new developments with reports on the feds decision regarding the ferguson shooting. a former fbi official joins us tonight to discuss the obama administration's response and why he thinks the threat against this police department even as the case against the cop falls apart is hurting police departments and public safety. and in related news, the white house's pointman on ferguson heading to england to explain why he believes america is institutionally racist. >> we don't want no double talking. we don't want no backsiding. we want to know where justice is! ♪ bring your vision for the future to life. for more than 145 years, pacific

success story. >> we've targeted al qaeda's affiliate in yemen and recently eliminated the top commander of its affiliate in somalia. taking out terrorists who threaten us while supporting those on the front lines is one we've pursued in yemen and somalia for years. >> the president went onto claim that iran's nuclear program had been halted a statement "the washington post" greeted with three pinocchios for accuracy. that comes even as top democrats are slamming the white house for going too easy on iran. >> the more i hear from the administration and its quotes, the more it sounds like talking points that come straight out of tehran. >> ironically it was one year ago this week that president obama dismissed the islamic state terror army as jayvee junior varsity, downplaying the threat from a group that now controls major parts of both iraq and syria. joining me now to discuss it governor scott walker of

wisconsin. governor, good to see you tonight, sir. i know you believe it comes down to the most important thing you say on foreign policy is leadership. how did the president fail to lead in these areas in your view? >> well, it's very -- you took the words right out of my mouth talking about the jayvee reference from nearly a year ago. this president talked about not only turning the page but talking about the shadow of crisis passed. i think any of us watching what's happened in the world not just the last 48 hours but the last few weeks, in france, any time you have freedom loving people anywhere in the world under attack by islamic radical terrorists, it's a threat to all of us. we send mixed messages to israel at the same time this administration is opening its arms to iran. i think that's a huge mistake. we need to speak with one voice aligned with our allies and ready to speak out against any who would threaten not only american lives but any other innocent life around the world. >> let's talk about iran. i want the viewers to know

obviously you are considered a possible 2016 gop presidential candidate. >> uh-huh. >> and some have said, well, one of his faults, this is from somebody at uw madison says his biggest limitation is foreign policy. iran, what should the president be doing? his position is we're not going to go over and bomb iran. the american people don't want to bomb iran. what is our choice, we should sanction them? we've done that. but before we just keep loading on the sanctions and while the sanctions we already had on are having some effect let's sit down and see if we can get them to agree to something. >> well, i just don't agree with that. i think you've seen while we bought them some time, this latest video you just talked about in the first segment shows exactly why opening the door to relieving sanctions is a bad idea. that's not a republican or conservative idea. there are plenty of democrats in the house and senate who share that same sentiment. the problem i mentioned you

allude to is leadership didn't come from a foreign policy expert, at least not early on in his tenure, it came from ronald reagan in the early days of his presidency in the early 1980s when he took action against the air traffic controllers. that sent a powerful message not only domestically, it sent a message around the world both to our allies that this president was serious and could be trusted. we have not more importantly sent a message to our adversaries at the time soviet union and iran ironically that this president was serious and shouldn't mess with him. >> how about yemen? i know most people realize yemen is a hot mess. it's not a complete shock there's anarchy there. and yet the state department seemed very caught on guard about this whole thing in a country where our worst enemy the al qaeda branch in yemen is the worst and most lethal according to the experts when it comes to america. so why wouldn't we be watching it more carefully? it's what the critics say. on the other hand, governor, how are we supposed to control the

internal politics of a country like that? >> well, the first part i think this goes to part of a pattern. unfortunately we saw a little bit in france with that administration currently in charge as well where they were tracking some of the very people who appear to be responsible for some awful attacks against innocent individuals there. when you have an administration whether it's the united states or france or anywhere else it doesn't take seriously the threats, who doesn't invest the resources needed to take those threats seriously, you open the door to chaos. i think that's something we all should have learned after 9/11. it's not a matter of if they'll be attempts, it's a matter of when. we need to be prepared here and around the world to make sure the fight doesn't come to us, that we take the fight to them. whether it's yemen iran, anywhere else out there. there's a concerted effort that if we want to protect our families our children, our livelihood here in the united states, we've got to be prepared to act elsewhere. >> last question, when are we going to get an announcement from governor scott walker he's

running for president? >> well, i'm looking much like in 2009 i was afraid my sons were going to grow up in a state that wasn't as great as the one i grew up in thankfully my state is better. but today i have those same worries about this country so probably by this summer we'll have to make a decision. and talk about how to make this nation a better nation not only for my sons but all those in their generation and those yet to be born. >> look forward to keeping that conversation going.o see you tonight. >> thank you, megyn. also this evening new fallout over a woman singled out by the president during the state of the union. chris stirewalt is here next with some fact checking on rebecca. and, it's the interview we've all been waiting for. oh, boy, there she is again. find out what youtube star and cereal olympian glozell today had to say when she visited the white house to interview the president. >> my social media reaches over 5 million fans. >> that's a lot of people.

america, rebecca and ben's story is our story. they represent the millions who worked hard and scrimped and sacrificed and retooled. >> new details tonight on the woman you just heard who was spotlighted, you just heard spotlighted in tuesday's state of the union. rebecca earler was the guest of the first lady as the president highlighted their family sharing their hard times, regular americans. then people started raising questions when it came out she worked on a democratic campaign and met with the president last june. chris stirewalt digital politics editor joins me now.

apparently rebecca is involved in democratic party politics. how does that affect her standing as a witness? >> well, there's nothing wrong with being a partisan. that's cool. we have a system based on that. there's no problem there. the problem comes in when the president passes off this person as just a random mom, just a hard working mom out there who wrote a letter to the white house to share her story and golly gosh she was great. why do you think they liked her so much? they liked her so much because she was already good at issuing democratic talking points because that's what she had done as a campaign worker and when she was out in washington state. that was her earlier career. they said she did career retraining, the previous career was campaigning for democrats. i'm sure they liked her letter and i'm sure they liked the idea of using her as the example because she'd stick to the script. >> why does it matter? rebecca, you know, she has -- she splurges on friday with pizza night.

that counts. how does that make her story any less persuasive? >> look i'm no prude. and i certainly don't -- i have a very low expectation for forthrightness when it comes to politicians. >> it's true. i can vouch for you on that. >> i've been here long enough to know that you will be instantly disappointed if you do otherwise. but, but when you talk about authenticity, when you are draped with this terrible attitude that the president carries forward about laying it on straight, real stories, real people, on and on and on and if it turns out that the story may be real but the talking points may be doctored that is yet another asterisk. presidents a s as a risk we go through. if you want to know why this administration and why this president struggles with trust, with confidence, with other things, all those small things

add up. it's not just if you like it you can keep it but all those things that add up to a feeling where the american people this is not on the level and this administration's not leveling with them, that counts. >> chris, good to see you. >> good to see you. >> coming up, the new england patriots had to give two separate news conferences today on the scandal that had reporters asking did they cheat in last weekend's playoff game. the answer just ahead. by the way, we asked phil houston about whether he thinks they were lying. and i have an answer for you. plus, today we asked the white house about reports that the justice department will not bring civil rights charges against officer darren wilson in connection with the shooting death of mike brown in ferguson. we will have that answer along with a former deputy director of the fbi his take on what this is doing to law enforcement next. e... it's a full day for me, and i love it. but when i started having back pain my sister had to come help. i don't like asking for help. i took tylenol but i had to take six

pills to get through the day. so my daughter brought over some aleve. it's just two pills, all day! and now, i'm back! aleve. two pills. all day strong, all day long. and now introducing aleve pm for a better am. you owned your car for four years. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends. three jobs. you're like "nothing can replace brad!" then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. no chest-beating monologues about engine size, horsepower, or performance.

developing tonight, it has now been 24 hours since reports surfaced that it appears the doj will not bring civil rights charges against officer darren wilson in connection with the shooting death of michael brown in ferguson, missouri. "the kelly file" has reached out to the doj to ask whether that's true. the doj's declining whether to comment. as for the white house it has directed our comments to the noncommenting doj. all this comes at a fresh look at the violence after the grand jury decided not to indict. video showing nearly 200 people storming a local store and destroying it. served as assistant director of the fbi until april of 2014, ron, good to see you tonight. >> thank you. >> so the obama justice department saying nothing now as we hear reports that the fbi's concluded there's no there there and there's no case that can be brought against officer darren wilson no matter what people told you over the past couple of

months. >> so here we are almost six months after this spark that ignited across the country. and we're hearing leaks coming out of doj saying there's nothing there. megyn, i am disappointed that it's taken this long for not only the leaks but for the truth to come out of doj. i think from what i'm hearing there's no sen till la of evidence indicating officer wilson did anything wrong that day, his actions were completely justifiable. >> and andy mccarthy came on last night and said he's not surprised. he doesn't believe the obama justice department is surprised but this was all a lure, this is all -- it was a hoax basically so they could get sort of the camel's nose under the tent into the ferguson police department to investigate the ferguson police department. they never had their eye on this officer but they've done this in 25 different cities. holder's doj wants to control

how cops do business. >> well, quite clearly there's another message here because the events that day in ferguson are finite. this is not some sprawling white collar or cyber investigation that requires review of servers full of information or rooms full of documents. the number of witnesses is finite. the number of purgers are finite. those facts have been known certainly to doj prosecutors for months. >> why does it take so long? >> that's exactly the question. is this incompetence out of doj or is this some grander design to influence? and my fear is look at the influence that it's had so far in those five months. look at the protests. when you were talking earlier about yemen, you know, the parallels in some of your comments relate to this case. we're talking about people hollering for the deaths of americans. here in our own country in the streets of new york we have

people hollering for the deaths of cops. we're looking for leadership. we're looking to start this conversation on race. the starting point should be the truth and if you look back to august 9th the truth was a young officer was trying to defend himself against a violent attacker. and he took the steps that cops across this country would take. my concern is all those cops are watching, and my advice is mr. holder, it's time to cut darren wilson down from that tree. it's time to cut him loose. cops are watching. apparently you want them to watch this show. >> well, we'll see. and when the doj has a formal announcement to make, perhaps we will get a statement on the record from eric holder about darren wilson and what he has concluded and what he hasn't. ron, good to see you. >> you too. >> when the grand jury in ferguson decided not to indict officer wilson in november reverend al sharpton calls it a blow to justice and told people to wait and see what the doj would do here. the white house has said

sharpton is its laison. we are told sharpton is on his way to england where oxford university has invited him to make the case that america is institutionally racist. on the other side of that debate david webb, a series xm patriot host, fox news contributor and co-founder of -- i spoke with him earlier about news that sharpton wanted to sidestep the showdown. your thoughts now on the fact that we're now learning al sharpton after agreeing to participate in this debate in oxford, your name pops up and suddenly he's too busy, he just wants to speak on his own. >> well, for the ones al sharpton would have to face in a parliamentary style debate questions of opposition. megyn, he would have to answer not just the points he puts out on narrative, but he would have to face facts.

he can't do that. he has to push his message out. if he goes to oxford and he gets to speak and does whatever he wants, he tells his story and walks away. >> even on his show he asks the questions. he never answers them. no one ever makes al sharpton hold himself accountable. >> there's no rebuttal. the reason i accepted this debate and it's a three-on-three debate and i looked at the people proposing america was constitutionally racist and i saw sharpton and i said this is the president's go-to man on race this is bill de blasio's right-hand man literally here in new york city. and they're representing around the country these "black community" which is not a monolithic community. and i'm going there to defend frankly america who has done an amazing job in advancing issues of race relations institutionally racist matters. institution is apartheid, institution is slavery. >> why don't you ask the folks

in england do they ever have a black prime minister? >> that's a good question. >> why don't you ask them that? >> they covered the woman not the black. >> how about this study says nearly a third of britains admit being racist. why i must ask racism in america? >> it's the debate that goes on as lisa explained about the eric garner case, ferguson -- >> sharpton and others. >> and this is what happens. you have someone that makes his living off race makes his living off a false cry in a charmg of racism. >> but when is he ever held to account? so he's going to go there and debate and suddenly david webb's name shows up and now he wants to go and do a speech. maybe he wants to do a show. maybe timing changed but it's all so suspicious because we never hear him pressed one-on-one by somebody who knows, somebody who's lived this experience like yourself on whether those claims that he's been making hold up.

>> you nailed it. he would, one have to deal with me and charlie wolf and joe hicks. on the other side of that al sharpton has never been countered in a formal setting where there's media. he can't face that. he is the real coward. eric holder said we're a nation of cowards when it comes to race. the real cowards are those that cast dispersions and live this poverty and pimp lifestyle they live at the expense of a community and not challenged on it. al sharpton is the coward and frankly this administration should stand up and avow someone like that. we'll watch tomorrow. >> we'll see. i'm off to oxford. >> good luck. you can ask about this survey. they can mind their own business. so what happens when a youtube star and self-declared cereal olympian gets the chance to go one-on-one with the president of the united states? you're about to find out.

and up next, we asked the human lie detector, remember him, cia interrogator for 25-plus-years, what he thought when the new england patriots were asked today when they cheated in last weekend's playoffs, his answer on belichick and brady. >> i tell them i'm okay you know. things are going to be fine. this isn't isis. this isn't you know no one's dying.

developing tonight, new england patriots head coach bill belichick and star quarterback tom brady both addressing allegations that the team deflated footballs, which is not allowed, in their sunday night afc championship win. in separate press conferences today they also both denied knowing anything about it. >> i never touched a game ball. that's not something i have any familiarity with on that. and again i was completely and totally unaware of any of this that we're talking about in the last couple days until monday morning. >> i think that's the main thing over the last couple days it's trying to figure out, you know what happened. as i said, i -- i was surprised as anybody when i heard monday morning what was happening. >> joining me now, donovan mc mcnabb alum of syracuse university, nice.

quarterbacks started by peyton manning and tom brady that was passed around through the nfl to make sure we had the ability to have the ball early in the week to make sure it's catered and doctored to our liking to get out on game day so it wouldn't be a problem. obviously it's become a problem. losing two pounds in the football is something that you just don't do. it's against the rules. if tom were to get up in that press conference and said i hold myself responsible, everything's on me, it's not on the equipment manager or anyone else me being the quarterback of the football team and leader, i'm going to put myself accountable and put the finger at myself. so if anything transpires from this, i'll be the one to take the blame. >> except if he did that donovan, then roger goodell, what do you do? you almost tell him, well you got to suspend me. if he's the one going to take the heat the ramifications have to fall right on his lap. i don't think he's able to do that. megyn, i watched it.

if all of my clients just stood up in front of the judge and said i didn't do it and it was all over i'd be out of business. you have to dig deeper. >> as a professional lawyer, because we reached out to phil houston on this the spy the lie guy, this is a guy who did cia interrogations for 25 years, we asked him whether they were lying, he said he thought substantial evidence of deception on belichick's part and also evidence of deception on brady's part. this is a little want-to-be phil houston, i saw this q & a and phil houston says this type of answer is not truthful. watch. >> can you answer right now is tom brady a cheater? >> i don't believe so. i mean i feel like i've always played within the rules. i would never do anything to break the rules. >> i don't believe so arthur? >> you want ethical, absolutely not with all due respect your honor, never, unequivocally no

that could happen. i don't know why he isn't screaming from the top of the empire state building whatever big building they have over there. >> what do you make? donovan, you're talking about how the nfl quarterbacks are leaders. you're trained to be leaders. i don't think so? i don't think i'm a cheater? >> yeah that wasn't a confident answer so to speak. you know, for tom brady all he had to do is say, no, i'm not a cheater. if this situation, you know me being the quarterback of the team and the one who holds the football for four full quarters i'm the one that should be held responsible for what's going on. coach belichick has no clue. and as a head coach let me go back to bill belichick's press conference. head coaches have no clue what the air amount is in the football. they can care less about the football as long as they're quarterback is comfortable in the pocket throwing the football accurately to help him win games. >> you really put this on brady. >> all he had to do is say, no, i'm not a cheater. that hasn't ever been me mindset. i just wanted to make sure the footballs were comfortable.

i didn't measure them but i knew going into that game when i picked out the balls i wanted for the game i knew that i was ready to go and my focus was completely on the indianapolis colts and nothing else. >> megyn, billions of dollars are really on the line here. if you look at the whole nfl and the whole season and all of this stuff, the integrity of the game is vital here. and the way you and i speak about investigations in the world of politics, in the world of crime there needs to be an investigation here because donovan knows a lot of people touch the ball. >> yes. >> there's a lot of people like the offensive coordinator, the quarterback coach, they all have vested interests huge financial vested interests in the outcomes of this game. could somebody have dope something without brady knowing it, without the coach knowing it? >> brady has made comment on tape in the past that he likes the ball deflated. i now know more about football balls than i ever -- >> footballs. >> footballs. about the pigskin.

too much. i realized. okay. it's the presidential event we've all been waiting for really? youtube star glozell president obama one-on-one. how'd it go? that's next.

got milk? >> should we put a viewer warning on that? that was glozell, one of three youtube stars to score a sit-down interview with the president of the united states earlier today. while she did ask him a few hard hitting questions, this was one of our favorite moments. >> my momma said whenever you go to somebody's house you have to

give them something. >> oh okay. >> don't come empty handed. >> all right. >> so i have green lipsticks. one for your first wife -- >> my first wife? >> i mean -- >> do you know something i don't? >> oh, for the first lady and the first children. >> oh, i'll ask michelle to try it on maybe even tonight. >> okay. >> howard kurts host of media buzz on saturday afternoons. howie, how did it go? >> glozell is a star she's funny, but when did eating milk and cereal out of your bathtub become an audition to interview the president of the united states? megyn, i'm not some old media cur mujen saying obama shouldn't go on "ellen" or colbert. but it seemed beneath the office to be hanging out with some of these youtubers. >> you think? the woman sitting down bathing

herself in froot loops and then sitting down with the president the next day asking about cuba and castros put the d in the d word dictatorship. i wasn't sure how i was going to get that. this is now what the president is across from. >> well, there was that. there was hank green thanking him for obamacare. there was bethany saying his answers were awesome asking him what super power he would like to have. and also taking the selfie. so maybe this is how the president wants the white house press corps to act around him. >> you know here's a question for you, you know, yemen was collapsing today. and al qaeda is really big there. and he was sitting down with glozell and i'm just thinking like doesn't anybody say, well this may not be the best -- these may not be the best optics for us. that's what the reporters always focus on. >> if you grant it the white house didn't know in advance there would be another foreign policy crisis this was scheduled as the first interview two days after the state of the union.

the state of the union is a serious policy speech. and this looked like obama was just going to the d-list hollywood afterparty. and if he was serious about getting some of these proposals in this speech, the tax hike free community college, through congress he'd be working the mainstream media. but he doesn't think any of that's going to pass and the white house doesn't believe most of it's going to pass. so he goes to the party and hangs out with glozell. >> if i get to interview the president i'm bringing a big picture of myself with crazy lipstick. i'm going to put it behind myself in the interview. i don't know how she managed to do that. that was impressive. >> she will be on the cover of "new york times" magazine after you are next sunday, i bet. >> thank you very much. so joining me now mark hannah is a democratic strategist and he's also pursuing his doctorate in media studies. all right, mark, i get that they want to outreach to young people. and it's young people who didn't watch state of the union. but there's a reason they didn't watch the state of the union. they don't care what was said. they don't care if glozell sits

down and tells them the state of the union. what's the point? >> don't ask first of all, megyn, like you're not a big glozell fan. >> i admit it was somewhat riveting. >> this is the first time i've heard the name glozell but this is what young people are watching. she has over 3.5 million youtube subscribers. boggles your mind. >> i know. >> i learned on an article before i came on. but the young lady who greeted me at the washington bureau here, she's 22 years old, she's been watching glozell for four years. this is what young people are watching. facebook put out some -- >> should we be encouraging it? i don't understand if we should be feeding that. >> often politicians are sort of beholden to the trends of the see this will bill clinton on arsenio hall -- say again. >> howie says it's beneath the dignity of the office. >> i couldn't agree more, which

is why it's great that glozell's not going to be running for president. >> but he belittled the office by sitting across from somebody asking him like they put the d in dictatorship. >> she's a comedian, megyn. >> i know. she's funny. but that doesn't mean she should get to sit down with the president at the white house. >> but a lot of comedians do. if you take everything -- you could go back in jon stewart's history and see some of the off color jokes he's made, but he sits down with republican and democratic presidential candidates. >> i predict that glozell viewers who really just want to see her eat weird stuff don't want to watch this. why do they want to see a substantive interview. actually, she did ask some good questions. >> a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. the most active questions on facebook about state of the union were happening with people 65 years and older. the white house has a challenge and every future white house is going to have a challenge in reaching young people. this is one of the tricks they pulled out of their hatd.

i don't know i would have necessarily picked glozell if i was picking the interviewers, but there were some questions like howie said about drone policy and whether there's a bad precedent there. >> i'll never look at my froot loops the same way again. mark, great to see you. >> thanks, megyn. >> we'll be right back. every truck can tow a boat. every truck can climb a hill. every truck can haul a trailer. but not everyone can say they're the fastest-growing truck brand... in america. guts. glory. ram. ameriprise asked people a simple question: can you keep your lifestyle in retirement? i don't want to think about the alternative. i don't even know how to answer that. i mean, no one knows how long their money is going to last. i try not to worry, but you worry. what happens when your paychecks stop? because

follow me on twitter @megynkelly and answer this question, what would you like your super power to be barack obama said today, the flying thing seems pretty cool. welcome to "hannity." so in a season full of scandals the national football league is once again rocked by controversy. now, the new england patriots are accused of cheating in sunday's afc championship win over the indianapolis colts by using underinflated footballs. the league says the balls were in fact deflated but still investigating whether they were tampered with on purpose. patriots coach bill belichick said he was shocked by the allegations and denied he had anything to do with the deflating of the footballs. >> i've never touched a game ball. it's not something that i have any familiarity with on that. and
