cold again greta. >> that's rotten. thank you. i have a special off the record for you only on facebook. go like my facebook page. you can see a special "off the record" only tonight from miami. the o'reilly factor is on. tonight -- >> why didn't you mention 29 muslims were killed. is that relevant? >> sure is. >> more craziness in the war on terror. ed henry has been pounding the white house spokesman. we'll analyze what's going on. >> he gave a speech that was courageous. why don't we see the president of the united states demonstrating that same courage. >> senator ted cruz and others including majority of the american people according to a new cbs poll now disagreeing with the way president obama's confronts isis. we'll have a follow-up report. ♪

also ahead those at the american catholic clergy are not standing up against islamic terrorism. is that true? laura laura ingle has some thoughts. >> the spin stone starts right now. hi i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. more terrorism madness. that is the subject of this talking memo. a turn around how the americans see the fight against isis. back in october 48% were in favor of defending against isis. in february, 57% oppose. they're slaughtering human beings all over the world and

the most powerful nation in the world should lead in stopping that. president obama continues to play the long game saying social problems and other factors must be weighed in any campaign against islamic terror. that's a dangerous point of view because human beings are being slaughtered and isis terrorists are expanding their territory. perhaps president obama should hear the words of the egyptian leader. >> he says the muslims need to stand up against these terrorists. why don't we see the president of the united states demonstrating that same courage just to speak the truth about the face of evil we're facing right now. >> that's a powerful statement from the senator because mr. obama is certainly taking his time in formulating an effective strategy to stop the mass murder. here's what the president and his acolytes believe. >> we do have to address the grievances that terrorists

exploit including economic reasons. >> we have a huge common interest in dealing with this issue of poverty, which in many cases is the root cause of terrorism. >> what struck out at me in this speech by the president is that we talked about so many of the issues. poverty, education the ideology. but one thing that was omitted very blatantly from this is the consequences of so many of the west's policies in the middle east. >> that's right. it's america and the west's fault. we provoked the jihadists into slaughtering thousands of innocent people. that's just insane. but almost as crazy is believing as apparently secretary of state john kerry does that the united states can affect poverty in muslim nations, they with can somehow upgrade the standard of living in yemen and afghanistan. why does the obama

administration putting out this blather? why? it would be like saying because america was part of the world war i german surrender that crushed the germany economy for years, we're responsible for hitler's rise. maybe secretary kerry believes that fdr could provide jobs in munich. for anyone who knows history, what the obama administration is putting out there is not only false, it's incredibly stupid. this country can't regulate how the government of pakistan runs its economy. over the decades american taxpayers have sent billions of dollars overseas to help people and these loony far left people say we're the problem? we encourage al qaeda and isis

to commit barbaric acts? i mean this kind of stuff is off the chart. and then you get back to the president's unwillingness to confront radical islam by name yet he has no problem, no problem at all suggesting that the three muslim young people in north carolina might have been murdered over their religion. ed henry confronted the white house on that. >> i'm curious, why didn't you mention it was 21 christians killed by muslims? is that relevant? >> it sure is because the isil -- the isil extremists who carry out this attack indicated that the reason they were killing them wasn't just because they were egyptian but always because they were christian. >> why not say 21 christians were killed? >> ed, i tried to be clear here. i can't account for that specific line in the statement but we've been clear there that we condemn this murder. >> two days earlier on the 13th you put out a statement under

the president by talk about about the three tragic deaths of the students of north carolina. in there the president says no one in the united states should be targeted no matter what they look like, who they are, or who they worship. why wasn't it relevant in that statement? >> ed, i think as we indicated the situation in north carolina still under investigation. >> why was their faith invoked in the president's statement. >> well, ed, i think it's important for the president in this case as he has in many others to articulate a pretty clear principle and i think it's the kind of principle that the vast majority of americans should be able to support? >> i mean my head is going to blow off. ed henry will be here in a few moments. finally the far left is now desperate to stop the growing anger americans have for the jihad. today in "the new york times" there's a full-page ad from a group that does not want war with iran even if they develop a

nuclear weapon. this group says it's five if they have the ability to wipe hundreds of thousands of people off the earth. in the media, they're decrying the use of the words holy war. no. no, no, no no no. you can't say holy war. not even if isis puts out a public statement saying they beheaded 21 christians because of their religion. no holy war. that's what they want you to say. dennis miller often says the world has gone mad, but what's really dangerous for all of us is that our leadership in washington not only the president, but congress as well doesn't have a plan to stop the jihad. our leaders continue to dikter while syria, iraq, yemen, afghanistan, many other places burn. as talking points has said time and again, sooner or later these muslim fanatics are going to bring their death plan here

compliment. i hope that's the way you took it. >> i'm sure i will, after i think about it. >> at first i thought he was mocking you. he just made a mistake because you were sitting next to plante. >> i pushed him a little bit on what i thought was a fair why is it a double standard. 21 christians were beheaded and josh earnest puts out a statement -- >> we made it clear that he didn't answer your question after you asked it four times because he can't answer it. there is no answer. these people are doing things that every american with a brain knows are inexplicable. let me ask you this. i've never been a white house correspondent. they keep me away from there as far as possible. a betdrone has a better chance of getting in there unless i hop a fence. can you say to josh earnest look, i'm going to give up now because you have not or will not

answer my question. would you embarrass him like that? is that allowed? >> it's allowed but i think it's a mistake. look, he knew i was going to come out of it. he was respectful enough. i think to take a cheap shot and say you're not answering -- >> why would that be a cheap shot. >> he wouldn't answer. he couldn't answer. right. and i think what you do on your own, after yo ask three or four times, if the question's not going to be answered, at some point it becomes badgering. >> i agree with that. but for the record, is it wrong for the ronald for a correspondent, not just you just to say, you know, i'm sorry, josh, but i've got to go back to my news agency? >> it's probably case by case. i think there's some occasions where you should say, i feel like you haven't answered it but you move on. i think sometimes because of the prickly relationship with the white house and this channel i try to move on to be as respectful as possible. >> and i think you're smart in doing that. you don't wasn't to give them any bait.

i mean we already have an eric holder telling us where the problem and all this nonsense but that protection is not going to change. all right. you heard my, you know, brilliantly crafted talking points memo. >> right. >> but i want to know from your perspective if i'm being unfair to president obama or overstating anything. >> where i think you're being unfair is you're not at least giving the president for saying there's nr than just the military situation, that we do have to get at why these young muslims are being recruited. that is part of the problem. and george w. bush, by the way, a republican president, saw that and tried to do so as well. he obviously didn't make much progress in it in the last administration, and this one hasn't either. >> wait, wait wait. let me stop you. >> yeah. >> so i'm supposed to give president obama credit for deflecting away from the real issue -- >> no, no. >> -- which is fighting evil -- >> no. >> -- into a fantasy world. >> no.

>> wait a minute. you know it's a fantasy world. i know it's a fantasy world. everybody knows it's a fantasy world. we're not going to be able to create jobs for people in the united arab early ritz. to deflect away from that is insulting. >> my next sentence was going to be where you're absolutely right, the emphasis is off in the sense that i believe if you had been on mars in the last couple of weeks and then got a ticket to the white house summit, you would think the crisis we're facing right now because of the president's emphasis is that the muslims are degree discriminated against. the crisis is people are being beheaded. i agree with you on that. that was my next sentence. >> i've got to get to the two agencies. in the summit meeting this week, there were two organizations that some believe are pro-jihad. the first one is the islamic society of boston. what is that?

>> well i did some poking around on that. it's a group where for example the tsarnaev brothers before the boston marathon bombings at least attended some meetings there. we've done some dig on this. there's absolutely no evidence that the tsarnaev brothers told anyone -- at least not yet. it's still going to trial -- did not tell anyone they were going to do something awful they were part of islam, but obviously there are those tied to terror in that society. i pressed the white house did you do any background checks and they said they did vetting of the people who attended. >> all right. because we know that the boston police is watching that crew up there. the second one is the islamic council of new england. is that a pro-jihadist group? >> i think that would be a bit strong. i think we found at least one example in the clarion project is a group that's done a lot of digging on this and they found a lot of hateful anti-israel,

anti-jewish speech given by an islamic leader back in 2011 to that council citing that, look this is a radial group. however, as i talk to those around the administration, they say, look, it might be a one off. they say it was a hateful speech, it was awful, it was wrong, but that doesn't u mean they spoke every week or is the lead over that society in new england. and, by the way, the person representing the islamic society of new england was not. they believe moderate islamists attended that. >> that's fair. ahead they're passivists, peacemakers. how would they confront the isis evil. later covering the jihad. is it a covered story on the network "nightly news," upcoming. ♪

. unresolved problems. as you know, i have asked american clerics to preach over this weekend about confronting the evil that jihad is imposing on the world. thousands of clerics have told me by e-mail they're going to do that. but some religious leaders are passivists peacemakers. joining us jim wallace protestant, kate, a quaker. let's begin with you. we know quakers are passivists, we respect that. but when you see isis trying to establish a caliphate and expanding their territory thousands of miles and committing atrocities against people do you feel any moral obligation as a quaker to stop that? >> of course. we all have a moral obligation to stop the atrocities that isis is committing, and the way that we can do that is by working

toward a political solution that starves isis of the three things that it needs to strive. and that's money weapons and recruits. >> let me stop you there. you want a political solution to stop people from giving isis money. now, you noeknow i says sells oil to get money that others give isis to get money. you're not going to be able to stop either of those things. you can't stop them, all right? and you also know there isn't really a political solution in the sense that isis is not going to negotiate with anybody and that they have free reign on the social media to recruit. you can't stop that. so isn't it pie in the sky? isn't it a ruse for you to say that this could lead to some kind of a solution? >> no because how we stop the flow of money to isis is by cracking down on oil sales and also working with communities -- >> cracking down with whom? cracking down with whom? >> we have to put pressure on the gulf countries to -- and make sure to work with local

communities to stop the access that isis now has in the global communities. >> well, they conquered the oil fields in iraq. they're not getting oil from saudi arabia. they conquered it and they've taken the oil and they're selling it to people who are buying it. crack down on whom? >> there's still local communities that are allowing isis to access oil pipelines in their communities. >> who? >> and the way we have to -- >> who? >> they're in iraq and syria. >> those are territories under the control of isis. >> yes as many of them are. and we have to work through local policing efforts. >> local policing. what local police? there is no local police? isis has cut their heads off. think about it i'll come back. reverend wallace we've had you on many times and we respect your role as a peacemaker but surely you know these savages are -- and we haven't even talkin' about boco haram killing

people in africa. slaughtering children in iran. how would you suggest reverend from stopping that. >>peacemaking, bill, is different than peace-loving. it takes hard wednesday. as you know yesterday was ash wednesday, a time of lent, reflection and repenitence. he said don't be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. >> how would you do it. more military. >> how would you do it? how? >> i think they're going take advantage of your narrative of a holy war. i would never use that language.

leaders are going to reject the narrative of a whole new war. >> you're still not telling me -- you're telling me what i shouldn't do but you're not telling me how you would stop the bloodshed. how? >> there's two things. leaders have to help our muslim brothers and sisters defeat this extreme fundamental attack from within? >> how? how? wait a minute. not by bombing. >> again, if you -- you don't have anything. you have nothing reverend. >> no no, no no i do. you're saying that we should do a holy war -- >> forget about what i'm saying. i'm asking you for fifth time. do you have any -- >> i'm giving you an answer. we have to defeat this kind of extremism from within not bomb it from with us -- within islam. >> and how do you do that? how exactly do you do that? >> i'm trying to tell you, bill. the countries in the region have

got to live with their own future. they've got to solve this. we can help in particular ways but another american war -- bill, the war in iraq -- >> you know with all due respect, reverend we like you, but you've about got nothing. you have nothing. >> no, no, bill -- >> all you have is krit siechl what's happening. you have nothing. you have nothing reverend. you're wasting our time. righteous people would behead you, your family and everybody you know and you would be saying you know, the muslim people have to deal from it within. ms. gould after thinking about it, do you have any -- >> we have to forge a political solution. >> a political solution. >> a political solution and that's not about involving isis and diplomacy. it's involving the key stake holders that continue with this conflict conflict. it means doing something we've never done before, seriously

engage iran. they had leverage on the assad regime and right now isis is growing from continued violence in syria. >> it's not iran that's going to solve the problem. it's a political process that brings in all the stakeholders that are now -- >> the stakeholders. yo now e how well the negotiations have been doing. all right, guys. look. i know i'm obnoxious. >> bill, you have nothing that hasn't worked before. >> okay. all i can say to you, rev remd, is this. if your philosophy was in place in world war ii we'd all be speaking german. we appreciate you coming up. you do know i'm on noxious, and i'm sorry. did you know elisabeth hasselbeck still wants to be friends with rosie o'donnell? and all that's fair and

>> since september? >> yes. >> i have told you i support the truth. >> i have been the same for years. >> i asked you if you believed what the republican pundits were saying. you said nothing. >> no, no, no. no, no, no. do not -- do not because number one i sit here every single day. i tell people exactly what i do. >> so do i. >> don't call me a coward. >> that argument ensued because ms. o'donnell said something that some believed you compared the terrorists to u.s. troops. >> right. >> after that, you and rosy o'donnell. there was real tension, correct? >> that was her last day. i actually did reach out to her. i'm not a person who wants to be angry with or have someone angry with me. i tried to fix it. i think that's my natural personality. tried to fix it with good intention, and never heard back from her. >> them you're on "the view" and you've pretty much had enough, right? >> i actually love a challenge. what i didn't love is that it

didn't operate as much of a unit. i feel blessed to be part of a unit now. >> people jockeying for your time it's not an easy time. >> i was able to have a great relationships with everyone including rosy o'donnell. >> it was soo good on "the view." you love whoopi and barbara. but behar -- >> some would say. >> you leave "the view" to come to fox. >> this will cheer you up. you can do it either one. >> that is liquor. >> right. whaefr works. >> look. i've always considered fox news my home. i was thankful for the opportunity to come here even on visits when i would come here and do a piece here and there. i felt as though i was coming home. it feels that way every morning. i'm always excited to go there. it wasn't always the case for

let's get right to the purveyor. you've been watching the coverage of the jihad. we've been really pounding it here. the ratings are big. we know the audiences are interested. but the "nightly news" castors they're not doing the same thing. so far this week, six minutes of jihadist coverage, did not mention the word muslim or islam at all. nbc news they did a story monday and wednesday, seven minutes, 30 seconds. mentioned the word "christian" five times. mentioned the word "muslim" once. cbs covering the story once, 6:30. mentioned the word christian three time muslim or islamic six times along with jihadees once. so cbs is obviously covering the story at least verbally in the correct manner. in your opinion, is there an appetite for this on the nightly evening newscast? >> not like there is on this

program, that's for sure. while you've been leading with this and as you say the ratings have rewarded you for leading with this they've pretty much been leading with the weather. but, bill, the audiences are fundamentally different. the people who are watching us now are news junkies. i mean that as a compliment. the people watching the evening news they're cooking spaghetti dinner and meatloaf and the news is on in the background, so there's not the same audience. there is a sliver of sunshine, though, and it's this. the networks and other big news organizations have had a bad habit of covering the news pretty much the way barack obama wants the news covered. so if it's the irs scandal which he calls the phony scandal, he treats it as the phony scandal. he doesn't want much discussion on the bernie madoff trade-off,

there isn't much discussion on the bernie maydoff trade off. but when you come on and say 21 citizens were beheaded, the network says, no, it's christians. that may not be much, bill but it's something. they didn't go along with the network. the president doesn't use muslim or islamic terrorists but this year from january 1st "the new york times" mentioned the islamic or muslim terrorists 18 times and the "washington post," 41 times. again, it's a sliver of sunshine. usually they willcover for the president and report news the way he likes it covered. but they're not jumping through these hoops for him. it just -- it doesn't make sense what he's doing with his going out of his way not to use the term. and they've noticed that. >> okay. when i was at the network news when there was a conflict a

war, any kind of really violent crime spree, whatever they're all over it. i mean even minor wars like the falklands war the -- you know, i was down there in argentina salvadoran war i was there when gren nayda was hit, there was big coverage, iraq invasion, huge, huge coverage. here there seems to be muted coverage of this expanding unit. no coverage in nigeria. can't get anybody in there but it seems to me the appetite of this story the jihad, all right, the islamic fundamental lists trying to take over as much territory as they can take over isn't what it used to be as far as conflict is concerned, or am i wrong? >> no i think you're on to something, but that's because television news isn't what it used to be. you talk about going to el

salvador and grenada, that's when news organizations covered the news, you know. now, you know, weather becomes -- >> weather is the big thing. i didn't go to grenada. i want to make that clear to everybody. i don't want to get in trouble. i was in salvador and argentina. >> no, i understand. look. nostalgia ain't what it used to be. >> you say just because it's downsized. >> here's the bottom line. americans are interested in this story. they're interested in their president not confronting the evil and the network news doesn't seem to be as interested as the folks, and i'm just wondering whether there's something more there. >> i think you're right. and one reason, they don't cover it the way they covered iraq or the others is because they can't get in. you've got to be a lunatic to go and try and cover the story. >> we can't get in either and we're finding every day, new

as you know laura ingraham takes her religion very seriously. little has been heard from american catholic clerics. to be farks cardinal dolan in new york city wrote an op-ed post but we've seen very, very little. what do you think is going on here? >> well, cardinal wuerl in

washington discussed the plight of our christian brothers and sisters in the middle east and, of course, in strong terms condemned the horrible killings and christians. i'm not sure what the priests are supposed to do you know as they give their homilies this weekend. i know you're asking them to speak out on this. what i think has to happen and speak to the catholic church is we need more people in the pews. you have to instruct people in the faith your own faith. so there's not a vacuum that's created in this country or as we've seen a vacuum created in europe as we've seen the decline of christianity. so i think priests should be priests. they should take care of the flock, the faithful. get more people to come into the church and explain why their christianity is superior to other faiths, not to condemn other faiths but, you know -- >> all right. >> islam operates in a vacuum right now in a lot of places. >> a lot of places there is

declining attendance in mass catholic mass, is because the church is not relevant to many people. it doesn't speak to our modern lives. and here there's a tremendous opportunity, and i've asked every cleric including muslim imams, to address their congregations about what the moral duty is for good people. good people. doesn't have to be religious, atheists too. good people. what is our moral obligation to confront evil? therefore if you believe we have a proactive obligation to call on our leaders the president and congress, to come up with some kind of strategy to stop this jihad. now, i'm open to suggestions, but right now there's nothing being done. and it's not even being spoken about in most houses of worship. >> well i think you're right. i mean i think a prayer, we believe, is the most important and powerful tool in dealing with this. i mean ultimately this is not our place, this is not our earth. >> all right. but let me ask you something do

you think prayer would stop it? >> i'm not saying prayer would have stopped it. we're talking about the role of the church. >> right. >> i think condemning evil -- absolutely, you're right. condemning evil and where appropriate and in this case of course and learn people what's going on. >> in getting people involved in trying to rouse the most powerful nation on earth to do something. >> churches aren't political wings of the discussion. >> not politics. it's morality. >> well the church at the same time let's not forget also advocates for basically open borders. so the church is in a weird position here right? borders are very -- >> i don't think -- comparing proverbial apples to oranges. the clear issue is islamic fanatics who want to kill christians and jews and will if they can. okay. so what do the christians and jews do? >> but the pope doesn't have an army.

>> no, but he certainly has power. he has a power to mobilize public opinion. >> and he has strongly condemned with his very big pulpit. >> the american church has not done that. the american catholic church is largely silent. >> my priest has. i don't know what's going on in other parishes. but i think you're right. good and evil moral relativism has been a real problem krooz e across a lot of faiths, right? and christianity especially. in the united states moral relativism where you can't judge anyone, no judgment we're tolerant of everybody that has hurt christianity in the united states. i think that line has to be drawn. so i absolutely agree with you there. all i'm saying, bill, is when the church becomes just another political lobbying organization i think it loses some of its power in their community. that's all i'm saying. >> it doesn't have much power left because it's -- >> people don't know what

christianity is. i don't think they talk about the gospel enough. >> there's philosophy and then there's guidance. in order for the church to make a comeback it has to become more honest and more relevant. we always appreciate the lively debate with laura ingraham.
