that is all the time we have this evening. thank you for being with us. have a great weekend we'll see you here on monday. >> the o'reilly factor is on. tonight. >> i don't want to put the cart before the horse. we don't have a strategy yet. >> that's comforting. with isis running wild across the middle east. has anything changed since the president admitted there was no strategy to destroy the terror group? we have been investigating. >> clearly have been times when you have felt disrespected on capitol hill. how much of that did you relate to race? >> there have been times when i thought that's at least a piece of it. >> well, there is a surprise. eric holder throws down the race card on his way out as attorney general is that just excuse for controversial legacy? we'll take a look at that. >> repeal every blasted word

of obamacare. >> it really is not compassionate to pat people on the head and say there, there, you poor little thing. that is making people dependent. >> we need a president who will stand up and say we will take the fight to them line cpac with potential g.o.p. candidates. trying to fight their way to front leader status. caution. in scrabble, that's worth nine points. the factor begins right now. greg gutfeld in for bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. straight to the top story. the mounting threat from isis. depending on what day it is. the obama administration says the danger from radical terrorism is either totally under control or setting world records for death and destruction. so which one is it?

frankly, we could use some clarity. listen to what secretary of state john kerry and director of national intelligence james clapper had to say this week. despite isil. despite the visible killings that you see and how horrific they are. we are actually living in a period of less daily threat to americans and to people in the world than normally less deaths less violent deaths today than through the last century. when the final accounting is done 2014 will have been the most lethal year for terrorism for the 45 years such data has been compiled. about half of all attacks as well as falingses fatalities occurred in iraq, pakistan and afghanistan. >> well, those two might want to start communicating with each other before they speak in public it's embarrassing the kids. leave it to charles

krauthammer aka dr. domplet cut right to the heart of the issue. >> i don't actually think the president is spinning it. i think he truly believes that this is a tranquil earer. we are overhyping. putting emphasis on terrorism which is out of proportion in the end compared to the strategic threats of naziism or communism, it's a minor issue. i think he thinks that and thus, he is rather -- i think he is internally plays said about all of this joining us with reaction. the executive director for the foundation of defense of democracy and here in the studio, counter terrorism analyst and fox news contributor lisa so lisa, clapper says it's been the worst year ever. kerry thinks it's no big deal. who do you trust the head of national intel or a guy who cries while james taylor serenades the french? i believe isis when they tell us that they are serious about the creation of an islamic state.

you know who else we should believe? the headlines, the intel our eyes when we are looking at the islamic state go about creating this state, doubling land despite the coalition strike. going after the wholesale genocide of christians. bun by one we are watching the headlines watching day by day the situation is getting worse and then the talking points from the white house podium are now conflicting, i mean we have no time to wait around for these contradictions and go at this with a tweezer at what we should call it what we shouldn't call it are they islamic, are they not islamic? you know what the bottom line is you know who is islamic state? jordan. you know who else is islamic state? egypt. they retaliated without flinching because it was a national security issue for both of them. their nationals were killed they went after them. >> um-huh. you know mark, it is not just isis two islamic fundamentalists hacked to death. they hacked to death an american writer yesterday an atheist.

is that just another random act a of non-kindness? >> well, again, it's not just isis. i mean, i think it's -- lisa is right about radical islam. global radical islam. the fact that the islamic state of iraq and syria. for example the islamic state of iran are two sides of the jihadist. spreading globally. young people being recruited recruited from our cities europe and elsewhere to go fight for isis and fight on behalf of the revolutionary guards creating a very dangerous situation for the united states and for our national security. >> lisa, we have seen the recently the destruction of antic at this and library books in mosul. i guess you can't convert a statute to islam. so you destroy it what's the purpose of this? i look at it as post game celebration. this is what you do after you get there. what else do you do?

you can't build anything so you destroy it. >> this is a a very tragic moment because a lot of them are nationals of iraq and syria. what they are really doing effectively trying to erase, any type of history. i mean, they are not just targeting, you know jews or christians, they are going after anybody who won't fold and follow under their brand of islam. who -- that will eventually lead to a caliphate. so here we see them, you know targeting cultural you know artifacts that are so, so just a part of the tapestry of the region. going after yazidis and christians and kurds. part of the patchwork of these areas. they are we writing mystery and we are watching as this is happening. >> they're not rewriting it. they are eliminating history. >> we look back at the holocaust and we say how was it that people 60, 70 years ago stood back and allowed this to happen here we are in the year 2015 and we are doing the exact same thing. >> mark, this is kerry could

be right in terms of numbers. but he is guilty of what i call ocean privilege. we are separated by thousands and thousands of miles of water it's not that immediate to us. so far away maybe we see it on the web but that's it. >> well, it should be immediate to us. 9/11 was a wakeup call for us. the fact is that isis is a manifestation, again of radical islam. the problem is that the president and secretary kerry have a trebility gap. the president himself said that isis is the junior varsity city team that al qaeda was on run that we had stabilized iraq and libya was going to be an easy adventure. chaos, growth of radical islam while all the while in the administration is now negotiating a nuclear agreement with another radical estate in iran and assuring us we have a nuclear agreement that will

stop iran from acquiring the nuclear weapon. the problem is when you combine radical islam terrorist organizations like sis sis and possibility of proliferation with middle east. on a nuclear hair trigger it becomes a serious threat and oceans are not going to protect us. >> lisa, one last question. i think president obama, worries about overshooting this apocalyptic threat of exaggerating it the worst part of that is you prepare. complaining that you work out too hard. what is the problem of being too careful? >> i think what he is trying to really do is put this to rosy glasses. i think the american people are waking up to it when it is syria and iraq not part of our daily life. now it's here and effecting us. >> all right lisa, mark, thanks. next on the rundown, geraldo rivera lays out his plan to defeat the isis terrorist as their atrocities mount. stay tuned.

thanks for the ride around norfolk! and i just wanted to say geico is proud to have served the military for over 75 years! roger that. captain's waiting to give you a tour of the wisconsin now. could've parked a little bit closer... it's gonna be dark by the time i get there.

geico. proudly serving the military for over 75 years. in the fridays fridays with geraldo segment tonight. g man up to awesome mustache with isis enraged over the atrocities committing against christians, shiites women, children and now of course even history. what's geraldo's plan to annihilate them? lucky for us we can ask him. geraldogeraldo what's your problem with president obama's handling of this? it seems he is so in over his head is he under his own beth butt. >> he is not committing to it i think you have got to declare war on these savages and have to understand that it's them or us. >> right. so here's the plan. >> okay. of the first thing i would do is to bring back general david petraeus the architect of the surge. >> right. >> i would pardon him for this alleged transgression with the girlfriend. he gave us some papers so she could write the boggographer of petraeus, at

the same time who has it in baghdad. >> i do it all the time. >> i was with petraeus several times in iraq including in mosul the sunni tribes men love him. they were kissing his ring. he is the one who could get the sunnies back on our side in this fight you have got to absolutely largest city in iraq. occupied by sis sis. cut them off from the outside world. anything that moves certainly anything military and i include oil trucks because that's where they are getting the money vastly expand our ariel campaign. i would give the kurds everything they need and more. i would give the iraqi army anything it needs and more. but with this caveat. i would stop playing around put american commanders kurdish forces. there is no reason to play. the only way we are going to

get this thing done is with our strategic vision our battle harvardened commanders. we have got a bunch of them. let them take charge of this fight. also, the saudis who have been the source of so much mischief in the middle east and in the arab world and elsewhere they were 15 of the 19, 9/11 hijackers. i would make them and the jordanians say they are willing. let them field a sunni brigade. sunni fighters in uniform. mosul first. let a sunni army be engaged. american commanders seducing financially and politically the sunni tribes. you have got a sunni army. you have got the kurds. you have got the iraqi army and the iraqi shiite militias. mosul will fall. there is no doubt about mosul falling. i would apply that same formula to each and every one of their isis strongholds ending with rocca, their defacto capital in syria.

to do that i have got to give you some political and financial components. >> you do. all right. in terms of finances anybody, any business, any financial institution found to be profiting from isis and those oil sales, i would severely sanction them, crush them, they are aiding and abetting the enemy of civilization. we cannot abide it in that regard, the turks must know that we know that turkey is allowing those foreign extremists to go through turkey to get into syria and iraq to be extremists to jihadi john to cut off people's heads or burn them alive. turkey must know that if they want to be part of europe then they have to be part of this coalition against these anti-civilized civilization savages that represent isis. turkey is either with us or against us. now, i really do believe that this is doable

scenario. we have got to tell the french and the british where the hell are you? you are our friends. you are supplying most of these foreign fighters. where are your soldiers? where are your aircraft get into the fight. we can beat them. >> ohio did you not win the a -- how did you not win the apprentice. >> girl power. >> dial donald trump. >> i have his number by the way my inner here is that i feel the american culture has changed so much that we are not -- we are so division based that we can't unify against a common enemy like isis don't you think that american patriotism right now is kind of at a low in terms of the willingness to fight? >> i think the beauty of my plan is it does not require a lot of patriotism and requires no sacrifice from the american people. let everyone go millennial generation. your generation go into your mother's basement. do your computer.

do your computer games no yeed that i need hard core professional fighters led by petraeus. i love general allen. great people. petraeus knows the ground. my goodness, i almost got killed in mosul. i got it on vape. our car got hit 14 times by a sniper in mosul. i know that ground. and the way to take it is with vigor, isolate them. degrade them. destroy them. and then go on to the next town. >> all right geraldo. glad you got a plan. all right. we got to go. up next, what do you call it when eric holder plays the race card? friday. he does it again. this time on his way out of office. we'll have that when the factor comes right back. you get sick you can't breathe through your nose suddenly, you're a mouth breather.

in the impact segment tonight. attorney general eric holder and the race card. sounds like the name of a great band, they are opening for hootie & the blowfish. holder is livening office in a few weeks and telling the press that race has been a factor in his struggles. >> there clearly have been times when you have felt disrespected on capitol hill hoich thaf do you think how much of that do you think relates to race. >> there were times. >> were there times you felt that was a piece of it. >> there have been times when i i thought that was at least a piece of it. been political in nature. >> joining us now from washington constitutional law attorney david ripken along with nationally syndicated radio host richard fouler. david, holder seems to be playing the race card more than obama plays golf. why is that? is that to escape blame or is the allegation actually

legitimate? >> accusation is not legitimate. he may be trying to escape blame or believe that race permeates all aspects of public and private life. he is wrong. aside from the rhetoric, he on his way out is suggesting and i think it's very dangerous that we quote need to lower the standard of proof in federal civil rights prosecutions. that is exceedingly bad idea. very generous certification requirements that enables the federal government to come in and take over prosecutions and places like ferguson or travon martin case. if it's in the interest of justice, substantial justice watering it it down even further would in essence lead to federalization of the whole area of law. would allow the federal government to swoop in any time political expediency demands. all i'm trying to say it's not just rhetoric. is he actually trying to act upon it and very very

regrettable it seems to me race card is getting pretty old at this point. to be fair he was asked he the question and he answered it as i expected he would. but do you think he is just overusing it? >> i don't think he is overusing it at all here. if you listen very carefully to the attorney general's interview very clear saying the main motivation is politics. people on the right and people in congress want to do everything to make sure this fails. stellar record. we have had i do crease in terrorism. crimes happening in the united states. decrease in violent crimes happening in the united states. police officers are getting more funding than ever before and training they need to keep our streets safe. everything to do with this attorney general. now, where i disagree with the guest here is this idea that he wants to have this expansive civil rights authority of the justice department. live in society where people's civil rights are being eroded whether calvin bundy nevada or trayvon martin in florida.

place federal government act to protect civil rights of every citizen. not black citizens, not white citizens but all citizens that's the only way we can stop our democracy and liberty from being eroded. >> david when eric holder first came on to the scene he said that we were basically a neex of cowards when it came to race and he wanted to talk race. it seems to me the only time he wants to talk race is when he calls you racist i don't think it ever moves beyond that discussion. you can only have that debate with him if you accept the premise that inherently we are racist. >> i agree. but i want to emphasize something. it is not just about this issue. what we have here and i disagree sterling record is a clear disregard for all a the constitutional nice cities. look, we all should ensure that nobody's civil rights are being violated. should be done at the local level. what should be done at the state level, should be done at the federal level. the noghts that federal government should know best. federal government runs police departments and uniform rules for policing.

the notion that the federal government should become involved in every single place that has racial connotations is frankly rise being that destroys federalism which is to say vert tall separation of powers. the notion that the federal government has a better policing record than local and state governments is just not supported by the facts. what i'm trying to say is this attorney general doesn't just have sort of a an ideologically belong inclination about race permeating all issues. he doesn't care about the constitution. let me just say briefly this. this attorney general has aided and abed this administration in engaging in the most aggrandizing and unconstitutional conduct by the president of the history. rewright numerous statutes. immigration, control substances acts. obamacare. relitigated ranging from the house of representatives that when he judge got an injustice against us. and he doesn't seem to care about any of this stuff. this is the attorney general that led a witch-hunt against numerous reporters against violation of the first amendment.

>> i will let richard respond because we have about a minute. >> wait a second, there is a couple points that i want to point out here. first on the controlled substance act the reason why the prevail because states say they want to legalize marijuana because the legalization of marijuana. the federal government, the laws are contradictory to each other. the federal government had to act. let's not focus on this tyrannical. what is tyrannical we have bliss departments who don't provide adequate civil rights to all of their citizens. eric garner said i can't greet answered was still. that is a civil rights violation. and job of our justice department to make sure that every citizen in this country has civil rights this is not a racial issue here gregg. >> i think that eric holder wants more than fertion he's retribution. >> all right. end it there plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. president obama flexes the muscles of executive power

power. on the heels of the president's controversial action on immigration, which is pretty much amnesty for a million illegal immigrants, is he now threatening to use the bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearms, my favorite bureau to ban certain kinds of bullets. bullets, because, you know they are evil. is the president misusing his power to get around an unfriendly congress? joining us now is jeanne a political science professor at eye own that college. and from college lisa booth a g.o.p. strategist. so jeany, this is kind of -- this is a familiar argument, president decides to do something on his own and then the opposing party goes nuts. this happens no matter what the president sand no matter what the party is. it just reverses itself depending on the affiliation. >> absolutely, we saw it with bill clinton in 92 and saw it again with george w. bush in 2008. interestingly, it was barack obama, if you remember as a candidate who was critical of george w. bush for exceeding his powers and, you know promising to do something different when he

got into office. but the truth is when you are president and you are facing a party in the other -- another party in congress you can get your agenda past so you look for other ways to do it. president obama has settled on the ways that other presidents have. executive orders, vetoes. you remember george w. bush used steining statements. it is a very common tactic and common for the minority party or the opposing party to be critical. quite frankly it works. look at the republicans how well they did in 2014. in large part because they were very critical of the president for overstepping his boundaries. >> it's interesting. it's like every candidate ends up lying. they say i'm going to be different. but then when they become -- get in office, they just change just like marriage. are these executive orders any different than say, previous presidents? is there something different about these or more disturbing? >> well, i do think they are more disturbing. as you mentioned with immigration specifically, i think those on the left and right would say that

president obama's decision to move forward unilaterally to undermine the rule of law, to throw away the constitution and also undermine the will of the american people and the strong message that they sent during the 2014 midterm election is somewhat unprecedented and the shear amount of people that he is granting amnesty too. essentially rewriting our nation's immigration laws. what he we are seeing with this banning of the atf as well. once again we are seeing from president obama is circumventing congress and really undermining the intents of congress. what atf did specifically here is they cited a bill from 30 years ago but even the bill's sponsor stated 30 years ago that the intent of that legislation was supposed to have nothing to do with rifle ammunition. so we have seen this obama administration, you know mislead and, you know i think take to unprecedented action that we have not seen before from prior presidents. >> jeanne, it's kind of like a liberal or leftist dream that what doesn't work

democratically, you use by force. or you just do on your own. many people wanted president obama to act like a dictator. is he now? >> well, you know, in terms of this atf issue, you know do i think this is fright thing. i agree with people like jonathan turley. you are empowering executive groups that are not responsive to the meelgd. that is a frightening proposition. you would much rather have congress and the president working together to pass legislation because we can throw them out of office. we can, you know change the peoples that not what president obama is doing here. >> is he not doing that because is he not able to pass a legislative agenda that works. that has been the problem. i agree with you, lisa in terms of the executive order being more substantial than in the past. but, in terms of shear number, he has passed fewer executive orders than any president since grover cleeflted. the suggestion that he has been overstepping his boundaries to an extent greater than other

presidents is simply not true if you look at the data. >> lisa last word, quickly. >> it doesn't matter. look, the reality is, if you look at the shear -- not necessarily the shear volume but the impactfulness of his executive actions as you have mentioned. you think president obama has overstepped his bounds using executive action. that's exactly what he did. he just granted amnesty to a million americans which is going to direct or a million illegal immigrants which is going to directly effect taxpayers and directly effect americans. >> lisa, thank you, thank you, jeanne. next up, biggest game in town for the g.o.p. the latest from cpac. stay with us. 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.

change the subject. >> sometimes you wouldn't know we are in by listening to the levment. they have describe us as people divided on lines of gender andeth nist city and justice center and class. sometimes you wouldn't know we are exceptional nation by listening to the president who has described our nation as sometimes being arrogant. or dictating terms to others. but americans know we are exechingsal and you know who else knows we are exceptional? the world does. >> at a home our nation needs new ideas and new answers to old problems. liberal policies have failed our inner cities. , we have a president. a president who draws lines in the sand and fails to act. a president who calls isis the jay vee club. we need a president a leader who will stand up and say we will take the fight

to them american soil for children and grandchildren. >> number one, repeal every blasted word of obamacare. number two abolish the irs. take all 125,000 irs agents and put them on our southern border. >> wow joining us to analyze from oklahoma city. chris wilson a pollster and republican strategist and from washington, kelly ann conway. founder and president of the polling company and also a republican strategist. kelly ann, i know you are doing a straw poll there at cpac. anything exciting happen today? there was a lot of applause lines there. were there any major arrests? >> no major arrests that i'm aware of, greg. no, it was very exciting second day at cpac. you had some of the headliners, of the presidential -- i think the big news today was jeb bush coming into hostile

territory if you will, facing many of his critics in the lion's den. governor bush's. i think his goal was to show up and get through it he succeeded. if his goal was to convert some of the curious and to convince people that he agrees with them on immigration and common core, two issues on which he faces serious head winds among conservatives, then he probably fell short. is he raising money, is he hiring staff. but, as you see, and you see right there at cpac, greg and chris, nobody is stepping aside because jeb bush is in this race. they want an open primary the way we did not have one. george w. bush ran in 2000 and the way george w. walker bush had a clear field in 1988. >> we watched ted cruz deliver a lot of applause lines. i think the problem with conferences is that they perform attention. they perform for confirmation. they don't perform for conversion. is this -- does this actually tell you anything about a candidate other than they are willing to say what the people there want to

hear? >> well, i think every candidate leaves us something to remember. with bush, i think we can take away from his speech that he believes there is a good washington. much like his dad and his brother did. they can do good things if the right people are are in charge. i think that's is a little bit contrary to what everybody else had to say. cruze's comments left a lot of questions in his minds what has everyone else done. he has able to fight obamacare and tax reform across the board. rand paul and marco rubio had some of the same messages. what's going to come away from this primarily is conservative voters coming together and saying we need one candidate that's going to motivate the base and nominate that candidate. otherwise, conservative voters are going to stay home and they don't get excited about candidate that's what elected barack obama in 2012. >> who is toying with us? it's dead serious. >> good question. if you are winking and nodding at this stage at the

cycle you get a cycle. get 20 minute q and a thousands of activists. great time. the crowd has been absolutely on its feet and impact throughout. it's hard to say. the wrap on donald trump is that he always and then pulls the rug out and he says is he more serious than ever. actually hired prominent people in new hampshire and iowa he said he is 80% sure. some people say dloneld run until the first financial disclosure is due and then he won't run are. i think we will have some surprises. rick perry got into the presidential race in august of 2011. that's six months from now, 2015 time. other people can maybe get into the race. some folks thinking of doing it may eventually decide against it it but could i detect something else. two things that i see coming out of cpac one is a big emphasis on national security. so many of these men and women are up there trying to answer the question on everybody's mind, can i picture you as commander and chief. the world is on fire. the issues are serious. they need to be able to picture them as commander

and chief. number two, very few of these candidates if any are afraid of hillary clinton. i mean i'm not afraid of her. she is the second most gifted popular person in two person household. i don't know why they should be afraid of her. i'm surprised and heartened to see how many of these candidates seem to be willing to take the fight to jeb bush primary. really to hillary clinton the general. they are not stepping aside for her. >> chris, you mentioned how important it is to motivate the base. but, you also need a candidate that can -- that is able to persuade an a political public. there are hundreds of millions of people there political. >> that's where we as a conservative need to win. who can do that? another good question. >> look it last two elections. 20008, 2012. middle of the road voters turned out key aspect keep

them motivated. bringing back together the three legs national security, the economic side and the social side. when that's really the key for conservatives and republicans is to nominate someone who can bring those three groups back together. >> but really is it about lock step it's about winning. not enough to be conservative. intellectually agile. be able to persuade people not simply pontificate, right? >> that's right. i think the emphasis, the trap for conservatives, greg and chris has been the fiction of electability? who can win? mitt romney. you have to support john mccain because he can do it. he can take on obama. did he? i believe conservatives are away electability. and on to the electoral college which the is only way you do win. that's why i think people like rust belt governors have a great following. folks who have really taken the fight to the -- on behalf of the people right to washington who served in the united states senate. people want to win but they realize the only way to do

that is to win the electoral college. >> thank you kelly anne and chris. how do you catch a crime suspect when you are not allowed to identify their race. cops at the university of minnesota are about to find out. one prominent sheriff is outraged and he is going to join us next. a pm pain reliever that dares to work all the way until... the am. new aleve pm the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. oh i'm on the cookie air diet. you just... and that's it. i prefer real food and whole grains. great grains cereal starts whole and stays whole. more processed flakes look nothing like natural grains. let's get real.

in the back of the book segment tonight, an odd move by the university of minnesota to remove racial descriptions from some campus crime alerts. meaning that the university's police chief and other school officials will decide on a case by case basis whether to describe suspects by race. presumably it's still okay to mention height which to me is heightist. and as someone of below average

height i am outraged. join ugh us from maryland, milwaukee county sheriff, david clarke. sheriff. describing a suspect by their skin color can now be deemed as racist? is that what this means? >> yeah. this is what happens when political correctness starts to seep into law enforcement and what the american police officer has to deal with on a daily basis. i only care about one thing, that's getting that guy in custody so that he doesn't get to claim another victim, especially on a college campus. i guess the university of minnesota president wants everybody to be equal opportunity suspect. what we try to do with the suspect description, we try to give as much information as possible, as you indicated height, weight complexion hair color, clothing age and race. those are all critical factors. if you take race out of the mix, you haven't narrowed the pool you have expanded the pool. it makes it more difficult for law enforcement and for the students and public and neighborhoods to help you get

these people into custody. this university president capitulated to political correctness and that's very dangerous policy for students at the university of minnesota. he needs to reconsider this decision. >> yeah. i mean if you use this logic, even mentioning the gender of a suspect, could be viewed as sexist. so in fact we'd have to just say that they are humans, correct? >> that's about what it will be in the end. we'll be able to say the perpetrator was the human being. that's how this stuff goes as you know starts with race, next gender. like i said, when i'm on the trail of a crook i don't care about offending somebody's racial sensitivity. i want to get that guy in custody so that he does not continue to victimize people on college campuses and in our communities. >> yes. in fact, you can even go in further and say that calling them human is slight against oh

earthlings like canines call them earthlings but that would offend outer space aliens. what about clothing? i guess they would prefer you go by clothing however most suspects remove clothing that's why they bring a different shirt if they're robbing a place wear a shirt and then change. you can't go by clothing either. >> this is what happens when a non-law enforcement professional like the university president starts to dabble in police work in america. as you said there are certain things that a criminal perpetrator can change. even leaving the crime scene can take his shirt off, turn it inside out. if it's over a long period of time they can cut their hair grow a beard shave a beard. there's certain things that cannot change on a suspect. one of them is their race. >> that's true. so do you think this is actually going to stay or is this going to spread? i mean i watch this kind of thinking kind of spread throughout the campuses. and no one seems to want to stop it. >> well, this is going to spread

on colleges and universities. they're no longer learning institutions. these are laboratories for liberal indoctrination. this is modern liberalism. but it's very dangerous for students, very victims for law-abiding people to capitulate to this violence. it's going to have devastating offense especially if they have a serial rapist on the university of minnesota. if i was a parent looking at colleges and universities of my child, i would scratch the university of minnesota off the list immediately because apparently public safety's not a high priority modern liberalism is. >> thank you sheriff. up next, the single most important issue in 2016. and, no it's not that stupid dress that nearly blew up the internet today, although i-on-ownwnwnwnwnwn doers they don't worry if something's possible. they just do it. at sears optical, we're committed to bringing them eyewear that works as hard as they do. right now, buy one pair and get another free.

international threat like isis when you have an administration focused on the internal flaws of a country and see terrorists as victims of past circumstances? let's look at wesleyan university in connecticut where the school now welcomes lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender transsexual, queer, questioning flexual, asexual dominant/submissive to the open house dorm. it's a safe space for those self-identified students. it's intriguing. but more so if you see it as a microcosm for a nation becoming more fixated on identity and less on unity. we have so completely turned inward we see nothing beyond our own gaits. identity is now our achievement. so where does this lead? perhaps it's the rise of movements that offer purpose especially in a world where meaning is now attached to material and sexual goods.

what drives all kinds of groups, be they cults or gang affiliations is infamy? attach the awards of a glorious afterlife and the appeal grows, hence isis. meanwhile, the white house plays down this threat blaming the rise of isis on lack of jobs as their own military shrinks and youth unemployment rises. have we become so preoccupied with identity that we discarded unity? without a national soul, america's just a giant walmart, the aisles filled with bored and angry consumers waiting for sales. could it be that the appeal of the radical fills the spaces where patriotism retreats as we view love of country as colleges ridicule the rtc and leaders obsess over our country's past sins how can we offer our own goodness as an alternative to evil? which is why for 2016 the big issue isn't really the economy

or terror or joblessness. it's a bigger thing. so big that it encompasses all three. to grow an economy, to fight terror, to enable the freedom to find work it's about one country, one people. the real message is unity. if you take these issues seriously, then you must banish the per vaers of the america is bad mentality and admit that it's time for a renewed invigorated defense. and our own awesome persuasive propaganda. it's time for an american crusade. and like wesleyan it should include everyone. and that is it for us tonight. again, thanks for watching. and for all you red eye fans, tonight will be my last time hosting that great show. so tune in for that. the show will continue, but i'm moving onto a new project that you'll hear about in the coming weeks. so keep your eyes and ears glued. not literally of course because that would be harmful. that's it for me. i'm greg gutfeld in for bill o'reilly. please remember the spin stops here because we're looking out for you and you and you, but not
