tv The Kelly File FOX News January 29, 2015 9:00pm-10:01pm PST
9:00 pm
that on friday's "the factor." again, thanks for watching us tonight. ms. megyn is next. i'm bill o'reilly. the spin stops here cause we're definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight, u.s. officials now confirming to fox news that at least one of five taliban killers recently released by the obama administration has now returned to terror. welcome to "the kelly file" everyone. i'm megyn kelly. in june of last year president obama agreed to swap five top taliban commanders for captured american soldier bowe bergdahl, a sergeant accused by his squad of deserting. these guys are considered generals in the taliban terror army with the united nations saying they ordered or supervised the murder and torture of thousands. nearly all have deep ties to al qaeda. and one of them even harbored osama bin laden before the 9/11 attacks. but they went free anyway. and even the president had to
9:01 pm
acknowledge that they may again threaten the united states. >> is there the possibility of some of them trying to return to activities that are detrimental to us? absolutely. >> republican congressman peter king is chairman of the counterterrorism and subcommittee of the homeland security committee. good to see you tonight. sir, thanks for being with us. in fairness barbara starr broke this story and she had it and now we have confirmed it and senator lindsey graham has come out in advance saying these guys -- he uses plural, they have had some haqqani people that's the worst of the worst, come to meet with them. they're reaching out. they're communicating with people inside afghanistan. so so much for the plan of qatar's going to watch them for a year. not to worry. >> megyn, this is what we've been concerned about and angry about from the start. this was a hoax. the president released the five
9:02 pm
of the worst of the worst and all we got in return saying qatar saying they'll monitor them and keep an eye on them. there's no reason why we should trust qatar. just last week when the other terrorist sent back to qatar, he got a welcoming ovation. so us relying on them to keep an eye or to monitor or to be honestly monitoring these five al qaeda terrorists is absolutely absurd. this is part of the president's overall policy to shut down gitmo at any cost. tonight i was feeling mike mccaul, nunez, this is going to result in the loss of life. >> do you believe there is a threat to america? i want to remind the audience of what hillary clinton said about this when it was announced that we had made this deal when she was rolling out her book in
9:03 pm
june. listen. >> these five guys are not a threat to the united states. they are a threat to the safety and security of afghanistan and pakistan. >> was she right? >> no. secretary clinton's wrong. the fact is if they were a threat to afghanistan, if they were a threat to anyone in the world they were a threat to the united states. if we learned anything from september 11th is that islamist terrorist, their ultimate target is the united states. and secretary clinton above all should know that. they are definitely a threat to the united states. tonight you'll see statements coming out from members of congress saying this is going to -- this does risk american lives. that's the reality here. lives are at risk and there's no policy reason for it. there's no possible justification whatever for this other than the president's ideological passion to close guantanamo. >> congressman pete king, good to see you, sir. >> megyn, thank you. >> when the taliban five were released many questioned the
9:04 pm
wisdom of allowing our enemies a chance to return to the battlefield while some of the president's defenders came on "the kelly file" and told us not to worry. >> okay. wait a second. they can't get back to the battlefield in less than a year. also, to whom are they a danger? >> respectfully that just sounds insane to me. >> plus, they've been out of action for 12 years. >> come on larry, you are smarter than that. >> they have to have the skills. okay. a lot of people have bad motivations. >> i'm sure omar would be happy to sit down and go over the briefing manual on how to kill americans. the head of the taliban. here now is the man you just heard, larry korb. so there you have it not even a year into the so-called custody of qatar and they're already back at it. one, possibly more according to senator graham meeting with haqqani people who came right to them. i mean the worst attract tors
9:05 pm
have been proven right. that qatar could not keep this under control and we do have to worry about this threat? >> remember how we found out, we're monitoring their communications. >> we, not qatar. >> of course we are. working with qatar. we're the ones who found out they've been trying to communicate. >> how did they have a meeting with the haqqani network larry? the system's got some holes in it. >> wait a second, that hasn't been proved. >> correct. senator lindsey graham has come out saying to the associated press they've had some haqqani people come to meet with them. >> okay. wait a second. he knows more than you do. >> no he doesn't. >> he does too. he gets briefs. he's a u.s. senator. you are not. >> all right. what john kirby, who's the pentagon spokesman, okay who was on cnn tonight -- >> and will be on "hannity" as well. >> okay. basically said we're monitoring their communication -- i assume if they met with the haqqani people we were monitoring what
9:06 pm
they said. we didn't just let -- >> so not to worry. it's not a big deal. the haqqani network, which is one of the major threats that we now face in the middle east, go ahead and talk to those top five taliban commanders. it's not an issue for us. we're so happy to have sergeant bergdahl, it was all worth it. >> wait a second. as i mention they've been out of action for 13 years. what can they know about what's happened since then? >> they've lost all -- amazingly they went completely limp in prison and forgot mentally intellectually all the things they do to unleash hell. let's say that's true. maybe they connect with omar who runs the taliban and they learn new things. suddenly they're operatives. >> but we're listening to them. >> are we going to re-arrest them? qatar's only going to watch them for another couple months. >> a year okay. and part of the reason we did it and got the year is because our
9:07 pm
combat mission will be over. and actually the main combat mission is over. but we're monitoring, we know what they tell haqqani or anything and we can use it to combat it. >> the pentagon is taking it very seriously. >> of course. >> and believes it can handle the threat. they seem to be taking it more seriously than you are. >> no they are. take it seriously that they're trying to do that. that's what they're trying seriously. and they know what they're doing. >> okay. >> if they know what they're doing -- >> the system of qatar didn't work out glad we had eyes on it. thank you for being here. joining me with more retired u.s. air force lieutenant mcinerney, predicted it months ago. good to see you. not to worry, they're old. they don't know how to unleash hell. >> yep. that's our good friend larry. the fact is we got a buck sergeant for five four-star generals, megyn. they have a lot of knowledge that they were continuing to
9:08 pm
generate at gitmo. and they are now going back down the battlefield. it's like world war ii at the battle of the bulge. we decided to release five german general officers that we captured. it doesn't make sense. it doesn't pass the sniff test. >> this is what the administration had said, that they're not really -- it's not like we did a prisoner swap. this is a prisoner of war that we had bowe bergdahl, so we traded for these five guys. the reason we did it is because the war is ending. and whenever wars end we get our guys back and we give the other side's guys back. >> first of all, the war is not ending against radical islam. we may be pulling out of afghanistan. and when they talk about leave no one behind, we leave no honorable person behind. we leave deserters behind. we did that in korea. and we've done it before in our history. and so i would not have brought a deserter back for five
9:09 pm
four-star general officer equivalents. >> do you believe that that argument, that the war is ending and therefore we need to start releasing these prisoners we caught on the battlefield and now at gitmo, the president's so determined to empty out that prison, that that holds? i mean this doesn't seem like your typical sort of symmetrical warfare that we've had in the past. >> it doesn't make sense megyn. look, when we left iraq, "the war was over." well, look at what we've got today. we've got isis a much more dangerous threat than we had before and it is growing. it's metastisizing in the whole region spreading to lebanon now. and it's going to have the same impact in afghanistan. so one, it doesn't make sense to anybody to let five senior taliban leaders go in the middle of a war. >> and what a shock, what a shock. they still want to kill people.
9:10 pm
>> correct. >> general mcinerney good to see you. >> thanks, megyn. >> we're going to have much more on this tomorrow night. we're going to have several folks briefed on the program and offer more details on what we really know about what they did. also tonight hours before the news broke before the taliban commanders returning to the battle the white house was again on the ropes for arguing that these guys are not terrorists. up next, the white house answer to this. >> does the administration consider the taliban a terrorist organization or not? >> plus, the fight between the administration and israel took an ugly new turn today. brit hume is ahead with the warning about what could happen next. and oliver north joins us live from israel tonight to explain why the threat to that country is the worst he has seen in decades. wait until you hear what he witnessed. and angry new fallout from the must-see story of the night. what happened when 91-year-old henry kissenger was assaulted in

9:15 pm
>> wow. it wasn't an hour plus answer he got hammered for that amount of time. you can see him not being straight forward. why? why? the question was the obvious yes in national review. why won't they say yes? >> that was a -- they don't want to answer the questions and are trying to redefine american law of terrorism. the only thing you need is to be foreign, conduct terrorist activity, and and to be a national security threat to the united states. that is it. and factually, they're a part, ideologically they align

themselves with the global jihad. >> so why doesn't he say that? >> terrorism is going away just to find noernl word for them. >> they try to make a distinction today. taliban just murdered 140 school children. and he said that is the pakistani taliban. >> this latest charade is inability to call evil what it was, to call islamic terrorists islamic terrorists. we see this throughout.
9:17 pm
fort hood was a work place violence now we have the tall hi ban they're not terrorists, they're insurgents. you can be an insurgent group and a terror group at the same time. so the question is why? why won't this administration say afghani taliban is a terrorist group? the answer is because we'd be admitting we're leaving afghanistan in the words of the terror group. >> i know you believe that too. there is a reason to say oh, hamas and hezbollah are focused on their own countries different from al qaeda and isis on a global jihad. why is that not valid? >> they're discounting ideology and by minimizing each place, so hamas is just concerned about what is going on in the palestinian territories and
9:18 pm
bokah haram. and -- >> they're counting on you not being able to keep track. when bush actually said exactly the right thing after september 11th it was clarifying. he said our message to all regimes across the world is that you're with us or you're with the terrorists. it wasn't some independently acting organization that's didn't have a shared ideology. >> but we're fooling ourselves when we say hamas and taliban are not international per se. hamas getting funding from iran. if you look at the afghani tall hi ban they're engaged in a human trafficking network. they take that money they use to it fund terrorism. >> administration this is of

developing tonight a new dramatic controversy on the film "american sniper" "american sniper" after a man who is supposed to be a straight news reporter for nbc network goes after navy s.e.a.l. chris kyle with some ugly accusations. listen. >> chris kyle has emerged about what kind of personality he was. in his own words very far -- talking about hold up he viewed iraqis. what some people described racist as he was going on some of these killing sprees in iraq on assignment. so i think there are -- >> wait, killing sprees? chris kyle was going on killing sprees? >> when he was involved on assignment. >> right. >> in terms of what he was doing. >> right. >> a lot of the description that has come out from his book and some of the terminology that he has used. >> right. >> people have described as racist. >> the president of the media research center.
9:25 pm
and good for joe scarborough for putting a stop to that. and the reporter could not back it up. and moved right onto his other claim. there have been allegations of racism. no one's describing him as doing killing sprees as if he's killing people just for the fun of it. >> some say, people say it's always anonymous sources that you want to use when you want to say it. and willie geist also congratulations to him for standing up. this fellow worked for al jazeera back in 2011. he gave an interview to the columbia journalism review. they asked him about his role. this is what he said, the arab viewer doesn't want just news. they want something more polemic. they want to feel they have someone fighting on their behalf. now, with that he enters the field of journalism. what is remarkable megyn, is he went from al jazeera, doing that, to cnn which hired him to do that to nbc which now has him
9:26 pm
to this day as their mideast correspondent doing exactly that projecting an islamic agenda propaganda on that news network. then they take him from nbc news at night and they move him over to msnbc in the daytime to be a fill-in anchor and to be a round table participant promoting that which he's reporting as true. >> okay. but let me say, i mean, that was -- scarborough was listening and heard him get way out of bounds and hit him back in. maybe, you know, sometimes people don't do their homework and the reporter comes on the air and sounds like something like, all right, i guess so. and they get away with it. now the question is wa does the news organization do now? it saw what he did. >> at what point is msnbc or nbc going to fly right? in the last year they've had to apologize four different times for outrages. and yet they continue doing it over and over again putting
9:27 pm
these left wing on their news programs, al sharpton putting them on them and projecting them as some kind of reporters when they're nothing but activists and po letterman -- >> do you think they need to apologize? >> absolutely. they darn well better apologize to the family of chris kyle. $ 213 million in box office receipts, this movie has exploded on the american scene. people are loving this man. and look what he says about him. yeah, he needs to apologize. and so does nbc. >> good to see you. >> thank you. well, an anonymous white house source is now lashing out at israel and its representatives. up next, brit hume on what is happening in washington. also, colonel oliver north on what's happening in israel and you will not believe his report. we'll then show you what unfolded in st. louis when a man dared to show support for a

developing tonight, an escalating feud over a congressional speech by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, it was not cleared by the white house. now the "new york times" is quoting an anonymous senior obama administration official attacking the israeli ambassador to the united states for allegedly putting politics ahead of the two countries' relationship. trace gallagher reports from our west coast newsroom. trace. >> megyn, when the israeli prime minister accepted house speaker john boehner's invitation to america without running it by president obama, the white house went on the record calling it a departure from protocol. but it's crystal clear the
9:32 pm
upcoming trip has left the white house furious. a senior unnamed administration official is now openly venting to "new york times" pointing fingers at israeli ambassador to the u.s. ron dermer and saying putting benjamin netanyahu putting his -- once a political consultant responded by saying he has no regret and that he never meant to slight the white house but assumed the speaker of the house would notify the president about netanyahu's visit. the senior administration official also finds it odd that during a lengthy meeting with secretary of state john kerry dermer never mentioned the netanyahu trip. other critics of john dermer accuse him of soiling his pad but his supporters fire back saying dermer is doing his job by representing israel's best interest. and if anyone's tried to undermine and embarrass the israeli prime minister it's
9:33 pm
this administration. the white house today said this. listen. >> the point is that this relationship between the united states and israel is bigger than any single diplomat. in fact, it's an alliance that shouldn't be turned into a relationship between two political parties. >> the president won't meet with netanyahu in march saying it's too close to israeli elections. and the white house doesn't want to appear to be taking sides. megyn. >> trace thank you. and ambassador dermer says he has no regrets. brit hume, pastel brit very good to see you tonight. the question is how much damage has been done here in all of this back and forth between our two countries? >> this is a regular mess megyn, no doubt about it. and it possibly could have been avoided if the speaker of the house had notifyied the white house of the invitation to netanyahu. the speaker has a perfect right to extend the invitation. mr. netanyahu has a perfect
9:34 pm
right to accept. normally these things are done with the full knowledge and possibly the approval of the administration. i suspect that mr. boehner felt if he did go to the administration ahead of time the administration would object and he would be accused of having done this over the administration's objectives -- objections, excuse me i think his idea was worse than what we have now. but what we have now is not particularly a nice situation in terms of u.s. and israeli relations. >> i realize they got ticked off at the white house. >> that's right. >> what is with the ongoing "anger and fury," that's how it was being reported at msnbc that the white house is furious about this. >> well, it's no secret, megyn, that the relationship between the president and mr. netanyahu has been tense and difficult. and i think what needed to happen here once we got to where we are is -- or to where we were once the invitation became public was the president needed to kind of put on his big boy pants and say, well, we'll
9:35 pm
welcome the prime minister to washington and i'll look forward to meeting with him. that might have been smart from the president's point of view because if prime minister netanyahu was facing after his speech to congress a visit with the president, he probably would have been a little loathe even indirectly criticize capitol hill knowing he was going to sit down with the president within the next day or so. >> good point. >> but the president obviously got annoyed. and the men around him -- or men and women around him we don't know who this unnamed official was, just who said these things about ron dermer and do you remember megyn earlier a senior administration official quoted as saying that benjamin netanyahu was a chicken feed although she didn't say feed. so this is more of the same kind of thing that's been going on. this is a tumultuous and difficult relationship. and the situation isn't doing anything to improve it. >> brit, great to see you.
9:36 pm
>> thanks megyn. well this just a day after iranian-backed hezbollah launched a deadly missile attack on israeli forces leaving two soldiers dead and more wounded. israel retaliated firing mortars and artillery into lebanon. one peace keeper was killed. our next guest was an eyewitness to that assault. lieutenant colonel oliver north live in jerusalem tonight. colonel, good to see you. so your take from those on the ground, and i know you know a lot of people in the idf, the israeli defense forces, on their feel do they care, are they following this riff? >> well, yes. i think people in israel it's a small country, it's under siege from hamas in the south and hezbollah in the north as you just reported. we were eyewitnesses to the attack yesterday. six coronet missiles, i counted at least five as the impact came in on the israeli patrol. here's the important thing about that attack by the way. the attackers are two and a half to three kilometers inside
9:37 pm
lebanon with so-called peacekeepers. those hit are two kilometers inside israel on a road used by both israeli military and civilian traffic. so what that all means is an attack on a sovereign country. that was going on as this tiff if you will, in washington where people are dumping on the israeli ambassador trying to keep netanyahu from coming to address the congress and what's important to the people of israel is two of their soldiers was killed one of them an officer, seven of them were wounded. we watched -- coming in. and the response was reprisal it was to protect the helicopters coming in to evacuate the wounded. i think people are looking at what's occurring now politically as obama is acting like a petulent child. he's detached from the reality of what's going on both on the
9:38 pm
border with hamas, with hezbollah. he is focused in the case of prime minister netanyahu on the threat that is being posed by the possibility and now even the likelihood of an iranian nuclear weapon. >> do you think they're listening to him? do you think the israelis want to know what our president thinks? >> i think the israeli people are quite fed up with mr. obama. i hear that routinely. it's almost as though that is a side bar issue to the protection of israel and the determination is the outcome of an election that could be very very important to their future. and they look at the white house as the one who is are interfering. and they're getting help from hezbollah. this attack could not have happened yesterday were it not for iran. hezbollah doesn't go to the bathroom without checking with iran. >> and that's their mission is to destroy israel. before i let you go i got to ask you, you have your wife there with you? you get shot at your whole life you brought your wife into this?
9:39 pm
>> well, it was not intentional. and i don't accept any responsibility for the iranian attack, but my wife is now an expert on whether it's incoming or outgoing rounds. and she and several of our friends who are with us also know how to drop don't run in the midst of incoming. >> ollie, the kind of life you lead. thanks for being here with the update. god bless. >> my pleasure, megyn. >> sounds like a good woman. tough one too. in st. louis they called a meeting to talk about calming tensions between the community and police but things did not go quite as planned. >> down here with that [ bleep ]. >> we'll show you what happened before this was done. plus, angry new fallout from the must-see story of the night. what happened when 91-year-old former secretary of state henry kissenger goes before congress and why senator john mccain is calling it the worst display he has ever seen next.
