8:02 pm
believe they are mandated by their god to kill infidels. the statistics are grim. a report by open doors international says the following. 80% of nations where christians are persecuted the most are muslim. the top five countries that persecute christians are north korea somalia iraq, sir i can't understand a afganistan. some examples of rerepression, the muslim brotherhood in egypt attacked christians loading properties. saudi arabia other than islam against the law. in iran authorities routinely arrest members of christian communities. but the christian world is largely silent in the face of the atrocities. yes, pope francis did speak out after 21 cop pick christians were beheaded in libya by the jihadists but there isn't an organized effort to protect christians in the middle east have disturbing here in the yaws the obama administration continues to down play the threat from the jihad. >> despite isil despite the visible killings that you
8:03 pm
see and how horrific they are, we are actually living in a period of less daily threat to americans and people in the world than normally, less deaths, less violent deaths today than through the last century. >> with all due respect to secretary of state kerry, he would be better served by developing a strategy to the islamic terrorists rather than an attempt to provide dubious perspective. once again, talking points will state that the isis savages are running wild because the world is a cowardly place. the jihadis know they can pretty much do thinking any want and the world will not unite against them president obama should leave but other countries should encourage. refuses to attack isis where it lives. in syria. meantime thousands of christians are being slaughtered. young children are being raped and forced into military situations. women are being sold into
8:04 pm
slavery. and any muslim not sunni is a death target as well. history will record. that situation. and that's the memo. a bit later on charles krauthammer and i will try to come up with a strategy to defeat isis. but first our lead story tonight. reaction to the persecution of christians. joining us from boston, jessica stern, author of the upcoming book. isis the state of terror. she also teaches at harvard. and from north carolina, franklin graham samaritan's purse. wife do you think will not unite to stop isis? >> first bill, i think it's important for muslims that are watching this program know that we love them and pray for them and i want muslims everywhere to know that god loves them and he sent his son from heaven to this earth jesus christ for them. have the have in the west is that our governments especially in washington has been infiltrated by muslims
8:05 pm
who are advising the white house. who i think think are part of the problem and see this in western europe. they have gottenned into the halls of power. and they are influence. >> give me some names in washington. i don't know any muslim advisors. to president obama: >> i can get those four for you bill. do i know that they are there. i know this from a number of people they influence. they are not sitting next to the president. they are seeking to. >> those groups do lob ysm. >> they sure do. >> it's everyone. it's not just the u.s.a. i mean we don't see the outrage, i mean we saw it from jordan after they cut off 21 jordanian heads. we saw a little bit of outrage there. but we don't see the world going, you know, we got to stop this 50,000, 60,000 crew because they were rampaging and running wild and there is not a christian in the middle east that is
8:06 pm
safe from these people. >> and, bill one of the nations wj of the nations you left out is iran. in prison. all speaking churches. baptize. they are not allowed to ordain: saudi arabia. your book and what interesting there. is you say that the isis jihadis want a confrontation. they want a ground war. they want to fight and die because they believe that once that starts, all the muslims will rise up and fight the west. that's the basic philosophy over there right? >> well, they actually would like to have a kind of a
8:07 pm
apalm lip particular battle that's sectarian battle against shiites as well as against christians and policy fias. it's not just luring us in there. but they would like to see an apocalyptic battle take place. they are committing tattle massacres in order to goad us into that apocalyptic battle. >> i agree with that. when does the world say why have to stop muslims and she a muslims from being slaughtered? when does the world say we are going to intervene and get together and organize and the nations of the world are going to go in and stop it? does that happen? >> well i think the hope is that jordan and other sunni muslim majority countries would lead through special forces operations as well as
8:08 pm
attack from the air. >> there doesn't doesn't seem to be any organized resistance on part of the world. i'm watching what happened in the 1930s, reverend graham, same thing happened, the world new hitler he was not subtle about what he wanted to do. he wrote a book about it and they let him go. and they let him gain power and they let it spread and now we are seeing isis metastasize all across north africa and other places. seeing the same exact historical mistake occur again. >> bill, you are right. and, bill, one thing that no one in washington, d.c. is doing, and no one is calling on this nation to pray. we need god's help. this is a huge crisis. this isn't something small. this is huge. and you look at the entire middle east how it's been destabled since the gulf war. the christians are the ones that have suffered in iraq. several million population now it's down to a few hundred thousands that have fled. the few christians that are
8:09 pm
not able to run, are being persecuted. their churches are being burned. they are being persecuted as you know being beheaded. one of the safe places is northern iraq in the kurdish areas. i spoke to president last year and i thanked him for allowing the christians and these christian villages to come into his area and he said they were welcome. he said but we as kurds have been persecuted and we know what it is. and so they have opened up their doors to christians i'm going to give you the last word, your father, billy graham had the ear of the presidents. do you have the ear of president obama. can you get him on the phone and say why don't you do something about this? >> i have talked to him on several times for pastor abedino, the american who in prison in iran for his faith. i have talked to him about the kurdish people asking him to help the kurdish people. only safe place left in that part of the world. but whether i have his ear or not, i don't know. >> so he hasn't really reacted though in an
8:10 pm
aggressive way. i give you the last word the thesis here is that the world is cowardly. the world looks away. looks away from isis and putin. and they know it. they know it and they know they can do. commit atrocities on a mass scale. am i wrong? >> no, i think you are not wrong. i think that isis's goal is really to manage savagery. it is to polarize the world. this is what they want to happen. they know how to get under our skin. raping and taking children hostage. that is the best way to get under our skin. >> to provoke it. but sooner or later powers what's going to happen prayer is good render, i agree with you, we should be praying but powers is the only thing that broke the third like and power is going to have to break the jihad. it's going to have to happen. reverend ms. stern, thank

8:15 pm
they are down playing the threats. the president did this that weeks ago in vioxx.com interview. john kerry did it much more dramatically on chill when he said -- what did ernest say. >> he said there is evidence to back up john kerry. he said they are pushing ba back on what they called the reign of terror from isis. i'm not sure there secretary of defense to back up that the reign of terror is being pushed back i don't see any evidence almost every day. >> more than 200 christians rounded up in syria. that's on top of christians being beheaded elsewhere. >> we know the statistics. those are just numbers. but there is also real personal human stories behind the statistic. >> did you see richard engel's report on nbc news? did you see that? i did not. >> they have 8 the 9 10-year-old girls they are raping isis. 8, 9 10-year-old boys running around saying kill
8:16 pm
christians. this is child abuse on epidemic level in addition to slaughtering she a muslims and christians. and president obama, i guess he feels that the bombing is going to stop this eventually what in 65 years? when is this going to happen? >> josh ernest said the bombing campaign is working, that it's slowing the momentum of isis. >> slowing the momentum? >> right. but not actually stopping them. >> right. and i think the very bottom line is the president's own director of national intelligence today gave his own testimony that 24 hours after secretary kerry completely contradicted what kerry said. kerry said that americans and others around the world have never been safer. >> right. >> despite the beheadings and all of that you played the clip. what james clapper said is the opposite. his life and career he has never seen more threats. he is the director of national intelligence. he sees what you and i don't see behind closed doors. >> henry is there anyone in charge really in the white house? tell me the truth, is there anyone in charge? nobody knows, you have these
8:17 pm
conflicting statements. some dumb statements. you have got the crusades coming in i mean, is there anybody in charge at all? >> i think that they need to reestablish some authority obviously, to get a handle on what is being said because what secretary kerry said completely contradicts what james clapper says. so it's t. certainly raises questions about who is in charge. >> it really is going over to putin. yeah, you are got sanctions on him but so what? putin is going to try to destabilize ukraine. he has a good chunk of it already. it just doesn't seem that there is any urgency with the president to deal with it? >> there is not. here is why. actual evidence. not just an a attack. which is that i sat through the news conference with the president two weeks ago with angela merkel can the german chancellor, remember? the president had leaked out the staff had leaked out before that news conference he was really close to finally sending arms to the ukrainians so they could defend themselves. angela merkel was saying no, give peace a chance. cease-fire went forward worked for 24 hours.
8:18 pm
no one believes it actually stuck. and what happened to the president's policy? nobody ever followed up and said wait a second, are you going to actually arm the ukrainians? we have asked, others have asked in the briefing, they said they are still looking at it. he were on the edge of it doing it two weeks ago and didn't do it. >> you can get a message for me. >> i'm going to write it down right now. >> the next meeting that president obama should have is with yoko ono. >> okay. because give peace a chance and maybe we could have everybody could sing that song. >> you know what? i'm actually ripping up that. i'm not going to send that. i just can't. >> is president obama playing politics with illegal immigration? and then, brand new segment called "would you buy them dinner?" tonight starring vice president biden and ron paul. upcoming...... ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

week in review from the ingraham angle segment tonight. is president obama playing politics with illegal immigration? >> mr. president, when you had salute control of congress you really didn't fight for immigration. and them when you had the situation where you lost the majorities, then you take action. is there political implications behind something that effects so many people so close to their heart? >> we wanted immigration done. we pushed for immigration to be done but ultimately we could not get the votes to get it all done. >> even though the democrats controlled both houses of congress. right. joining us now from washington to comment ms. laura ingraham. >> ha ha. >> why are are you giggling? come on, that was hilarious. i'm actually glad jose asked that question. good for him.
8:23 pm
of course they could have passed immigration reform. barack obama knows if he passed it just with democrats, there would be republican and conservative wrath that would have been the fallout and it would have been a disaster for him. >> he did that with obamacare. he didn't get any republican votes. >> for that he thought he could ride it out. establishment in both parties, i think they actually know pretty were well bill, that the idea of bringing tens of millions of foreign workers in the country, legalizing tens of millions of people who are going to ultimately be here. have him work here. i think they know it's really not a popular idea. and pretty much every poll shows that people want either the same level of legal immigration or less immigration. only 7% of the country in the last gallup poll wants more immigration. so both parties know that people want legal immigration but they want it to be measured and want it to work for the country, et cetera, et cetera. i think obama just knows that. he didn't want to deal with
8:24 pm
any of the political fallout. i think he actually thought obamacare was going to work because he didn't know the system. >> putting words in your mouth. you correct me. in his first term he didn't want to pass any kind of amnesty for illegal aliens because he might not get eelected. if he did that on party lines, then folks would be mad at him and boot him out after four years is that pretty much it. >> i think that's a big part of it. he didn't really believe that he was going to lose as many seats as he did in the midterms in 2010, bill. so i think he couldn't do both obamacare and amnesty all these people he had to pick one and picked the one he believed was going to be morsellable. i think both fell on their face though. probably be be the supreme court will rule that president obama does have the authority to do the executive order. i think that most people
8:25 pm
believe that. >> i don't believe that. >> and you dissent. >> yeah. >> but the republicans are going to have to deal with this in the upcoming presidential election. they are going to have to repudiate barack obama's executive order. and they are going to have to repudiate the amnesty that it really is. it's an amnesty play. how are they going to do that in your opinion? >> i think you nailed it, bill. >> i don't think that mcconnell and boehner especially are going to be claim that they are against amnesty really though. because they on different occasions they both said we need to do some type of reform. they have muddied the waters here, i think, the republicans. we know what the democrats want to do. but the republicans are trying to serve two masters. trying to serve the big business interest that wants to keep the cheap labor coming and try to serve the grass roots to some extent and they basically want enforce. and want immigration policy in a system that has the american worker and the american people at the forefront. so they are trying to serve
8:26 pm
two masters and they are caught. and it's really, it's not in the end going to be good for republicans have a very clear message going in on amnesty is going to bring out the wrath of the republican voter. i think you are already seeing it with how mcdonnell is handling funding of dhs. fast forward to 2016. let's say the nominee is somebody who believes that pathway to citizenship voting rights, working rights, if the middle class still has flat lining wages bill, they had for about 13 or 14 years, i don't see how you are going to galvanize a lot of the working class ethnic types to rally for republicans if that's at the core of their message. >> how big the issue becomes. but hispanic americans obviously in many states in the southwest now becoming an electoral factor and if they perceived that the republicans are still anti-immigration or anti-mexican or whoever it may be. then republicans will suffer. >> you are good to bring that up that's that's right. when you look at texas.
8:27 pm
i know you have interviewed the new lt. governor and new governor, they both ran greg abbot and dan patrick, they both ran really tough campaigns on illegal immigration. they are also pro-immigrant. they also go into spanish neighborhoods and they talk about wages and how to give more economic opportunity to people who play by the rules. they got 44% of the hispanic vote. they got huge turnout for republican. about the same level if not more than george w. bush got when he was governor. i think you can run a very populist pro-american campaign and get a lot of african-american support. and ethnic support and latino support. but republicans aren't doing that very few are doing that. >> very skilled candidate to do that laura ingraham everybody, plenty more as the factor nofs along this evening. charles krauthammer and i will do try to come up with a strategy to try to fight the isis terrorists. that should be interesting. gutfeld mcgirk on a pot controversy in washington.

8:32 pm
[ laughter ] >> all right ladies, let's begin with joe biden. >> i'm grateful to the president and the vice president for your trust and confidence and to the u.s. senate as well. for their trust and confidence. got a lot of thanks to give out here. >> >> boris car love as the frankenstein monster. all right. cheryl, by him dinner? >> heck yes, i would buy him dinner. >> you would. >> absolutely. i have questions and a couple of opinions about his behavior. he violated personal space which is nine inches of air by the way between you and another person. >> nine inches. >> i would have lots of questions. first and foremost single woman in manhattan i would have snatched the vice president. >> would you buy him dinner. >> i would but only if he were in prison and some sort of glass separating us. >> you don't have to buy him dinner in prison they feed you there.
8:33 pm
>> okay. >> i would be kind enough chivalrous russ enough to buy him dinner in prison. >> would you buy the vice president of the united states dinner here in manhattan to speak with him? would you or would you not. >> i would absolutely buy him dinner. i have a loft questions for him i think he has an interesting background and funny to see him walk around and grope the clavicles of various weight -- wait staff. >> i would buy him dinner. i would buy him dinner because i have lots of questions for him had as you ladies do. >> absolutely. >> i would want to hear what he had to say. it would be off the record and this and that i would not buy him appetizers and desert. he only gets an entree and ice water. >> if i hit him during dinner we are not going to make it to the appetizers. >> i applebying dinner, right? >> do you usually buy dinner. >> long table like rich people eat at and 12 people apart from one another.
8:34 pm
>> second dinner guest is congressman ron paul. >> i was knowed with it in congress. we had antiwar unofficial group libertarian republicans, and generally the black caucus and others did not -- they are really against war because they want all that money to go to food stamps or people here. >> wow, so would you buy ron paul dinner? >> i have a lot of respect for ron paul's ideals and he has turned a lot of younger people on to the liberty movement. and he has a lot to say and nothing to lose. so even if i didn't splurge for the cabernet, he would have so much to say about his life, liberty, and of course he would spill the dirt on rand at some point. >> would you buy ron paul dinner. >> i would not buy him dinner whatsoever. he i'm a journalist. he needs to stay away from microphones and journalists for some time. he has made a lot of gaffes
8:35 pm
in the last few weeks. he has been saying some very strange things. until his son decides what he wants to do for this next election, i think he doesn't need to go to dinner with anyone that can repeat what he says. >> so you would not even buy him chicken friday steak? >> no. >> that's an economical meal in texas which i really like down there. i'm going down there in a couple of weeks. ill would not buy ron paul dinner. >> how am i in the minority here. >> the reason is that i do not take ron paul seriously. i think -- and here is why. let me back this up with no personal animus. he was in congress 22 years. he passed one bill. one bill in 22 years with his name on it that was changing the name of the post office in his district. all right? so whatever he was doing, i don't think he has got a lot to tell me. you know, because he certainly wasn't in the forefront of legislation in this country. >> dr. no they called him. i would buy dr. no dinner
8:36 pm
hopefully getting to -- those who are bond fans know what i'm talking about. we will see you next week with two new dinner guests. when we come right back, gutfeld and mcguirk talking about deliver russ big pot controversy in d.c. and miss madonna falling on her butt. the boys moments away. if you're suffering from constipation or irregularity powders may take days to work. for gentle overnight relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, for relief you can count on. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?"

thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly in the what the heck just happened segment tonight. two hot topics beginning with legalized pot in washington d.c. it's kind of complicated because the district of columbia is run by congress and pot is illegal on the federal side. but folks who run the local government, the mayor, the city council apparently don't care about that. so they have legalized potted. here now to comment bernard mcguirk and greg gutfeld. gutfeld, what is going on there. >> this is all about big twinkie. it's the junk food lobbying groups that are trying to make a buck. i'm talking about doritos and jerky and barbecue corn nuts. they are all in on this, bill. just follow the cheetoe film and goes straight to the top. president obama's orange tinged finger tips are all over. this i think it's good
8:41 pm
stoned bureaucrats are better than sober ones. i would rather have them eating a hot pocket than being in our pocket. >> so you say that it's a good thing that washington d.c. has legalized marijuana. >> i didn't know what i said. that's the problem. i'm so high. >> that is a problem. >> now the addiction rate in d.c. is through the roof. drug addiction is a huge problem in the district. so it doesn't really make sense to me why you would, you know, make it easier to get into the drug world. >> it doesn't make sense why they would just legalize using and possession of marijuana and not reap the benefits by selling it and tax taxing it for the revenue. this way someone could open a pot store in d.c. and call it the weed house. for all intents and purposes. >> you can't sell it. you can only use it? >> feds want to stop it but the cops take their orders from the city. >> you can grow plants on your property? >> you can grow plants, yes couldn't for all intents and

(announcer) ask your doctor about linzess-- a once-daily capsule for adults with ibs with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation. linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements. it helps you proactively manage your symptoms. do not give linzess to children under 6,

washington. you go first. what would do you? >> o'reilly. there are two aspects to this. the first is to try to inat a time what reagan did in the 80's. he took after some of the soviet proxies but not with direct american troops he did it by proxies nicaragua and afghanistan. succeeded in all three. if there are people on the ground, you supply them with weapons. the one thing that's entirely incomprehensible is why are the kurds not being supplied directly by us? we should be running an air lift, a berlin air lift. >> do you want me to answer the question why? >> the os continues cybil reason is have to go through baghdad. >> no, no, here is why we are not arm ing them directly the turks. the turks don't want the kurds to be powerful. as you know a turkish rebellion in parts of turkey.
8:49 pm
>> and why? >> kurdish rebellion. >> so why you tell me. why are we acquiescing to the wishes of the turks who haven't lifted a finger. >> absolutely right. >> to help us against isis. >> they share intelligence and they give us some kind of shadow support. but nothing active. you are absolutely right. but that's the reason. >> they give us nothing. he had sit on the hilltop outside of kobani and they watch as the -- our allies are being kerred. until reinforcements arrive and who are they? they are not turks, they are iraqi kurds. you don't allow the turks who are not lifting a finger to restrain us. the kurds are the the best. they are courageous. they are skilled and they have a stake in the game. so that's number one, you have to arm them. absolutely obsolete equipment. >> arm them to the teeth. all right. i'm down with that so you and i agree on that. what's number two? >> what's number two is you need a sir serious air
8:50 pm
campaign. the number of soaredies we are now engaged in is about 50 a day. in kosovo we were averaging 500 a day. and the stakes for us in kosovo and the and the balkans was infinitely less today than in iraq and syria. we should be running a campaign where nobody in isis lifts his head out of a fox hole without expecting it to be blown off by american -- >> why are we? >> by aircraft from the allies. >> why are we not? >> the other thing -- sorry? >> why are we not bombing to the tune of 500 soardies a day. >> the same reason we're not arming the kurds. this is an unserious campaign. i think obama's strategy is simply to hold things in place. he's looking to keep the status quo. he's looking for what's called containment rather than rollback, as he is for example with the iranian nuclear
8:51 pm
program. and hand it off to his successor. he's not interested in. he's interested in neutrality. he's interested in immigration reform. he's interested in all kinds of stuff. his legacy's for him in his mind are all at home. why is he going to waste his energy on a war that he thinks he's not going to win anyway and he'll hand over to a successor? >> why isn't he as outraged as rudy giuliani and others of the atrocities that we see everyday? why isn't the president taking it as personally as an american leader should in my opinion? >> what do you think i am a psychiatrist? >> there you go. >> look, there are a lot of things about barack obama that are hard to explain. this is his legendary cool, i don't know. i would expect that any american would be utterly outraged. now, perhaps -- and we've heard him say this, you know thrks is just exaggerated. we get upset because it's now on the video. in the past it wasn't on video.
8:52 pm
this is like local news. he said i'm like a mayor trying to reduce the crime rate. he sees it as annin -- not a real threat to american security. a disturbance of the peace. i can't explain it. but he's the president. >> i would have an international summit in washington, d.c. with the 60 coalition members that nobody knows anything about because they don't do anything and then anybody else who would want to join. in that summit, which would be a three or four-day meeting, they would put forth a military option both in the air and on the ground. and we would sign up people and then start to coordinate military action against isis wherever it may be. north africa, syria iraq. get the whole world involved like bush the elder did in the first gulf war and then you hit them. >> but the point is this, bill. if they aren't doing it now why would they do it at a summit? it makes no difference. >> you put pressure on and see who will do it and who won't.
8:53 pm
>> what kind of pressure? no country is going to join in a coalition led by a country -- a leader by the -- the leader barack obama who's heart isn't in it. the reason we got all the people to join us in the gulf war in 1991 because everybody knew that bush, the elder bush, was going. he said we're going to do it on our own if we have to. >> if we had a strong leader -- >> we are going to win and everybody wanted to be on the winning side. that's how you get a coalition. >> if we had a strong leader that would work would it not? >> i know. but the summit isn't going to work. it has to do with leadership in washington. and we don't have it. summit or no summit. >> charles krauthammer, everybody.

"the factor" tip of the day a really big show in a moment. but first the mail. houston, texas. bill, yesterday's talking points were the worst ever. you said republicans should stay
8:56 pm
away from personal attacks. john mccain did and he lost. mitt romney did and look what happened to him. senator mccain lost to barack obama because the economy collapsed under bush the younger. mitt romney lost because he couldn't close. he was ahead a week before the vote. also governor romney would not exploit benghazi and could not explain his comments about poor americans. bill las vegas, bill, lack of understanding of president obama. he believes america has -- he believes we should adopt the socialistic programs of europe. he thinks we should apologize. for that reason -- you can oppose policy and belief systems without attacking someone personally. ronald reagan is a poster guy for that. arkansas, bill you said the truth doesn't matter anymore. it's more accurate to say the truth to some doesn't matter as much as they want the truth to be. interesting analysis, doug. but my statement is pithier.
8:57 pm
doesn't matter. panama. in the media the truth has two components, what you see and what you hear. correct. what they do not show and do not tell you often obscures the truth. and that censorship and false presentation is at the heart of media bias mostly on the left. frank rizzo florida. bill, you promised to stop the political slime. will you also stop candidates from embellishing? vermont, any attempt to determine whether our rights are god given is an exercise in futility. believers believe that seculars do not, end of story. not quite end of story. the battle continues between secular progressives and traditional americans. ed evans, roseville california. o'reilly, after reading killing
8:58 pm
patton my opinion of general eisenhower has changed. i was surprised to learn he never served in combat. ike was a brilliant political general and that was what was needed to keep the allied force working together. he also did a decent job as president. although he and patton were often at odds eisenhower was a patriot. on the subject of patriots, as you may know the independencefund.org continues to provide high-tech wheelchairs for severely wounded american vets. something the federal government will not do. the chairs cost $15,000 each. and i have pledged that every vet who needs one will get one, as they are life changing machines giving the wounded some independence and options. on may 21st here in new york city the gary senise foundation will stage a rocking the boat show, a benefit concert. select tickets are priced at $2,000 each. i'll be there and so will other
8:59 pm

breaking tonight, the reviews are in for a host of republicans testing the waters for a possible white house run. and the crowds are going crazy for one man in particular, welcome to "the kelly file." i'm shannon bream in tonight for megyn kelly. on the first big night of the unofficial kickoff to the 2016 gop campaign for president thousands of conservative activists, lawmakers and party leaders are gathered just outside washington, d.c. for the conservative political action conference or cpac as it's been called, the silent primary where some hopefuls explode on the scene and others fail to find their spark. today, three of the party's potential front runners did their best to fire up the crowd. >> there's not
