ks for watching us. please always remember, the spin stops right here. we are definitely looking out for you. serious new questions for the xhanler in chief. as a growing number of americans want to know why the white house is not doing more to recognize the deaths the murders of four marines and u.s. one u.s. sailor killed in a possible terrorist act on american soil. welcome to "the kelly file." it is one of our most solemn symbols of mourning. flying the flag at half-staff signifying the country's loss. tonight, five days after a gunman ambushed marnls at two military facilities in chattanooga, and 72 hours after we learned that a fifth victim a sailor has died from his injuries the white house flag has not been lowered.

hours ago, reporters asked the white house press secretary why? why this gesture has not been made. it has been in the aftermath of similar tragedies before. the white house provided no explanation. >> following newtown, following boston bombing, following massacre at ft. hood, the president ordered the flag be lowered to half-staff. there were questions asked about the chattanooga shooting. the white house's response? >> i would anticipate you will hear the president discuss this a little bit more in his remarks tomorrow. i don't have more information about the status of the flag over the white house. >> meanwhile, despite the lack of a proclamation from the president, some mernls are acting on their own. may the mayor from eastern pennsylvania decided to lower the flag even though a president or governor can give the order. and people are showing up outside recruiting centers, carrying their own legally licensed firearms.

volunteering to protect the service members who are barred from carrying weapons by federal regulations. tonight we are joined by republican congressman dumpian hunter marine corps and medal of honor resippen and former chief presidential speech writer. we begin with trace gallagher with breaking news on the suspected gunman in a could not frontation moments ago between fbi agents investigating the attack and a teenager. >> reporter: minutes ago, fbi agents in chattanooga were outside the apartment complex of an aquanlance of mohammad youssuf abdulazeez when suddenly a 15-year-old walked around the corner with an air soft pellet gun and a pistol. he pointed them at the agent. they demanded drop the guns immediately and after some coaxing, he finally did. the scare is over but a very good illustration of how high tensions are in the area. meantime, the portrait family and friends are painting of mohammad youssuf abdulazeez is

that of a man struggling with alcoholism drug addiction and bipolar. saying he had a weak mind and easily influenced by others them say before he shot and killed military membersering rented a ford mustang and went on a three-day bender drinking and driving at excessive speeds through the mountains. he was arrested with white powder found on his nose. abdulazeez's father said he sent his son to live with his grand father in jordan to get him away from nonmuslim friends who were a bad influence. but simply blaming depression and addiction would ignore growing evidence that mohammad youssuf abdulazeez also had some anti-american sentiments. for example, random writings from last year found in abdulazeez' home are described as senior correspondent john roberts as angry, handle written notes talking about suicide, becoming a marter and referencing the middle east. some also expressed displeasure

with america. there is no hard evidence linking him with terror groups but they are still combing through reports that he may have also gone to kuwait and possibly yemen. today a member of the senate homeland security committee. this on "your world." >> there's a lot we don't know about chattanooga yet. what we do know is the era we're entering will have a lotter month of this. soft targets are exploited by people who believe in killing in the name of religion. >> and a friend of abdulazeez just told me moments ago, he would often go shoot guns with him at a chattanooga shooting rage. he believes they shotguns used in the attack. >> thank you. joining us now, a fox news contributor and form he chief presidential speech writer. good to see you tonight. >> does it mean anything? does it mean something to have the white house flag to have the order come, that the flag

should be flown at half-staff? >> absolutely it does. look. there are lots of things about the presidency that are really hard. this is not one of them. okay? i mean five days, the president has not referred to what happened in chat chat as a terrorist attack. five days handle lowered the flag. he bathed the white house in rainbow lights to celebrate the supreme court decision on same sex marriage but he can't lower the flag for four marines at a u.s. navy petty office here were killed in a terrorist attack on our soil. >> he instead went and played golf and went to a fund-raiser over the weekend. he is being criticized form mark. however, you know having worked for a president, they need r & r. they need to burn off steam. >> i know they need their r & r. but president bush gave up golf during the war on terror because he didn't think the optics were the right ones to have.

certainly the optics of the president. united states going to a broadway show going and playing golf as he did this week literally two days after a terrorist attack on our soil are not very good either. >> he spent some time with his daughters. they need family time as well. >> you know what? there's some marines and the u.s. navy petty officer families in tennessee whose dads will not be able to take them to a show any time soon. so people just lost their dads their husbands brothers and sisters. so he is the commander in chief. he is their commander in chief. the people died wearing the uniform of the united states. under attack from a muslim extremist with an ak-47 who attacked not one but two military installations in the united states. that calls for the xlanler in chief. >> why do you think the president has chosen to say very little about this other than lone gunman and this is heart breaking. >> i don't think this is what he wakes up to do to be the xlanlder in chief to wage a war on terror.

i think he came into office to end george bush's war on terror. so he is uncomfortable with the role of commander in sxleef the role of fighting this war. he doesn't want to be the one leading the country in a time of war. the fact is war is being visited on us. it was just visited on us in chattanooga, tennessee. and it could be visited on us again. and he has to lead whether he wants to or not. >> he is getting hit for not calling this terrorism. tuesday attorney said we're investigating this as an act of terrorism. the president wouldn't go that far. his defenders say he is the commander in chief he will should be more judicious in his tone before we know exactly what happened. he shouldn't get out ahead of his skis. >> that might be fair if wasn't for the fact there is a pattern here. he called the christmas day bomber an isolated extremist. he referred to benghazi as being over an internet video. the tike a paris kosher deli was a random act of violence. so there is a pattern here of

downplaying terror. and i think it is because this is not what he wants to get up in the morning and do. he didn't come to office to be the xlanlder in chief in a time of war. he came to end war. he is consistently downplaying the trifl. when you downplay terrorism, you can't defeat terrorism. when you don't defeat terrorism, it comes and visits our shores. >> white house said wait until tomorrow. he will make remarks at the vfw. and so we'll wait to hear when he suppose the veterans what he says. what we are being told is there will be some remarks. we can't get into all of them but he will address them among other things predatory allegeding. we hope he addresses predatory jihadists. but in the meantime the white house stands on this. president obama came out and made clear, we take, this is a quote, we take all shootings very seriously. >> first of all, fell to the

family of kate steinle. they still haven't heard from president obama and he still hasn't condemned that attack. a criminal alien killed a woman in broad daylight in san francisco. so i don't think they take all shootings seriously. secondly this isn't just a shooting. this was a terrorist attack on our country. isis published a hit list of american service members. they called on the members to attack at home and all of a sudden, it happens. this is an attack on the country. and he has to respond to it. he can't simply ignore it. he's got no choice. if he goes in front of those veterans tomorrow and doesn't address this he will get a very unpleasant reception. >> mark thank you. >> thanks. we are also hearing questions about the d.o.d. suggesting some marines should stop wearing their uniforms. at recruiting centers to avoid being targets. medal of honor resippen did a cota meyer has some thoughts on that and so does duncan hunt here is doing something to protect our men and women in uniform next.

plus a dramatic new push to claw back hundreds of millions after this doctor is caught on video making some very troubling comments. and why is presidential candidate martin o'malley having to apologize for suggesting that brace yourself all lives matter. that must-see debate is just ahead. [ yelling ] >> wait a second.

he probably would have been proud of how he died. i wish he had not died. never wished him to be a hero. but i know he did what he could do. >> that was the father of marine staff sergeant david allen wyatt, one of the five brave men killed in the terror attack we saw in chattanooga last week. men who were unable to defend. they thanks to regulations that keep guns off military installations. a single harrowing image. now summing up the outrage. as a no fire articles sign. a product of a regulation that left everyone inside as sitting ducks. they've gone so far as to stand

guard on his day off while the d.o.d. is reacting a different way. suggesting that marines consider ditching their uniforms in order to avoid being targets. tell that to this 5-year-old boy. the son of a deployed marine wears a uniform just like dad. dakota meyer is a u.s. marine corps medal of arm recipient. and a member of the house armed services committee, he is introducing a bill to protect them. thank you for your services and for being here. you are the only i want to get the language right. the first living marine in 38 years to be honored. here's the video time of the president in 2011. your reaction to this suggestion that the focus at these recruiting centers not wear

their uniforms to stay safe. >> i think that's the craziest thing ever. terrorism is when people come over and they instill fear inside of people to where they change their way of life. that's how terrorism winds. and that's how it grows. i would hope it is the last thing they do take their uniform off because of fear something would happen. that's cris. that's crazy to think that way. we need to give them the opportunity to carry their own firearm. they tied our hands in iraq and afghanistan with rules of engagement are. they going to do it here too? >> walk us through it. what would the reaction be in this moment when you are a marine you are in your uniform. you have your weapon. here you may not have that. now you may not have your uniform. what does that feel like to a marine? they're not going on take their uniform off. when are we going to start standing up to what's right? when are we going to stop

worrying about hurting people's feelings? and we don't want to say the wrong things. this is been color or skin color. bits a belief in order to hurt other people and to instill terrorism. it is a belief of this radical islam. when are we going to stand for it? when are we going to stop it? instead of our way of life we don't want to hurt their feelings. it is only a lone wolf. it is not a lone wolf. that has happened over 20 times where service members are going to get killed. when does it stop? >> you have a different idea in how to in terms of how to keep our men and women safe. tell us. >> i think this will happen more and more. it is pretty simple. if you have civilians guarding military personnel, because we've disarmed our military personnel. that's a sad state of affairs.

the civilians standing out with firearms while the marines have none? >> let's give every noncommissioned officer or officer who is trained in the .9 millimeter pistol. let them carry one. keep it in the building. if they can't do that if the city code says you're not allowed to have weapons. let's have what i am allowed to have. you have to push a button to let people in. let's at least do that. let's not say we won't wear uniforms. we'll close the blinds. we'll huddle in our recruiting centers. >> you know the reason they're doing this. >> the reason they're doing this is because they say they want to keep at least for the time being. they want to take an immediate action to keep the mental and women safe. and right now, they are not. >> be why not -- why does it

matter where we can carry guns and where we can't? what do all these people who don't want to us carry guns when they have a problem,000 an issue? they call people with guns. there was a law passed by president george bush the elder and it has been on the books for years, that was a long time ago and it was before we were being targeted. especially to men and women at their recruiting locations. >> if you were to mention the patriot act pre-9/11 people would say you're nuts. if you talk about it now, you're nuts. yes, there is a need for that now. same thing here. radical islam will strike the soft targets over and over again. you'll have members of congress getting shot. you'll have people in the recruiting centers being shot. being blown up. anything that they can do to strike at what they see as

representing american values and american patriotism. that's where the radical jihadists will strike. let's make it tough for them. let's make sure there is a marine staff commissioned officer who has short gun fire before. and who ran toward the sound of gun fire not away from it. let's have him sitting there for mohammed whoever. we at least to have instill some question mark in the jihadist' head. some fear if they go busting in to this recruiting center they might get shot in the face. >> they see the big sticker on the window seeing no guns allowed and they see the men and women like sitting ducks. guys thank you so much. great to see you both. >> thank you. there's some dramatic new develop manies with the bombshell video of a dr. from planned parent hood talking about harvesting for research.

. developing tonight, a new push to cut hundreds of millions in tax dollars from planned parenthood after an undercover video turns up a disturbing look at the abortion practices and certainly the chief abortion provider. she is planned parenthood's senior director for medical services. to see her having lunch with actors looking to obtain fetal

tissue from abortions to obtain medical research. this short clip is extremely graphic. >> time for more sal alfredo planned parent hood has apologized for more tone but insists the group's actions are legal. many conservatives have challenged that. and rand paul is talking about using a filibuster to go after the $500 million a year this group gets from you, from the taxpayers. my next guest is urging lawmakers who got campaign donations from plant parenthood's pac for more money. tony perkins, good to see you. the white house has asked specifically whether they will join the push to now stop to reconsider the funding for

planned parent hood. the answer was clear. no we will not. your idea is what? >> well first let me say the disclaim per the president almost shut down the government back in 2011 to ensure that planned parent hood continued to get taxpayer dollars. i believe every human life should be protected because it was created in the image of god. when an organization such as planned parent hood has evident such as this that strongly suggests they are trafficking in the body parts of aborted babies look. that's beyond the pale and most americans agree. those politician that's benefited from the political largess of plan parent hood yes, do i believe they should return it. >> yonlt if they got them on that. you look at the full tape. they talk about selling, transacting the baby organs a fetus's organs at a cost $30 to $100 which they say a reimbursement for the transition of the organs. it is not a fee.

not a profit. >> look what they say about how they and attract these parts. where the mother is supposed to be the first patient. we were told by the clinton that's they wanted abortion to be legal, safe and rafrl it is certainly not safe when your primary decision on how to extract parts of the baby are pre emnenl over the health and care of the mother. the law is very clear, you're not allowed to change the way you perform an abortion for certain reasons. and this doctor suggests that is what it has done. there are questions of legality. separate and apart from that the defense, the primary defense for planned parent hood is yes, they have abortion services. taxpayer dollars are not supposed to be used for that although they can be used for research on harvested body parts from an aborted fetus. they say, you're going to have a lot more abortions if you get rid of the funding. you'll have a lot more women who don't have a lot of dough who cannot afford birth control and

will wind up pregnant with unwanted pregnant nancies. >> fits so necessary, there will be private don'tations. americans should not be part of a billion-dollar operation which is the single largest abortion provider in the country. i said this is alleged. the evidence suggests this may very well be the case. based on that, that there could be illegal activity here americans should not be forced to be a part of this. and i believe there should be an immediate moratorium on the funding for planned parent hood. >> one of the thing that shocked me about it now the american people see the woman with whom they are aligning. they see the person they are paying in part to the extent the harvesting of the organs is okay. and by the way, we do pay for abortions if it is in the case of rape or incest. so this is the person with whom they are aligned. >> right. very calloused in the way they talk about it. there could be much more behind

this. this is why congress is investigating. it reminds me when i was a police officer in the late 80s and early 90s. the cars were never found. they were taken to the clop shops because the sum of the charts were worth more to the thieves than the cars themselves. and i see that with these babies. the parts are worth more. taxpayers should not be a part of this. should be a moratorium immediately on this. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> planned parent hood has an open invitation to come on the program. we are hearing critics complain about a new low for folks on the liberal group. that's being claritiable. liberal? far left! as one of the staffers launches an attack on anne rom any for writing a book about her battle with m.s. you have to hear janice dean.

important. black lives matter white lives matter all lives matter. >> later, that same day, came martin o'malley's apology. >> i believe what i first said was that black lives matter before the other two phrases. that was a mistake on my part and i meant no disrespect and i did not mean to be insensitive. >> kevin jackson is the executive director. and mark hanna a campaign aide. >> hi megyn. >> really? really? i get the contech in which the original remark was offered but it is to the point where he has to apologize for saying all lives matter? >> yeah. it is. it is to that point now.

it's crazy. what's interesting, when emwhite lives matter that's when he got the most vitriol from the audience. you white people are evil. they booed. the same party that booed god or didn't want god at their convention booed white people too, so maybe white people are god. this is most idiotic thing i've seen in a long time. the fact of the matter is that the narrative around black lives matter should be called black lies matter. they don't want to talk about the real issues around why black lies matter. it isn't because of cops or america. it is because of the behavior of liberal blacks and the system that has made black people unfortunately put in situations where we are disproportionately criminals. the idea that you can't come over the top of that and say all lives matter in 87% don't matter because black lives do in. >> way to get other half to listen to you.

right? how are white people going to responsibility to thing into of the fact their lives should matter. >> yeah. i don't think anybody disagrees the statement that all lives matter. >> i think you're right. >> let's listen to this in context. what was happening was a protest erupted about the black lives matter. obviously there's been a lot of frustration in the black community over news of a new woman that was, that died in police custody again in texas. >> no proof that that was by an intentional action by a police officer whatsoever. >> we should reserve judgment. >> go right. like we should have in the michael brown case in ferguson which helped give birth to the black lives matter and it was based on a lie. >> about 400 people have died at the hands, unarmed people at the hands of police. and a disproportionate number and i'm sure kevin is outraged by this.

a disproportionate number is black. >> but way more white people have been killed at the hands of police officers over the past two years. >> if you look at proportions -- >> that's exactly right. >> there is a proportion of more black messages of the community. >> that's absolutely -- look. that's absolute fallacy and wlats these guys do. they come on all the time. they spew out this nonsense date. a they know least common denominator won't check it. it's nonsense. white people are killed in high numbers, in percentage to crime than black. and you don't see white people running around white lives matter. to your original point, the very first thing out of your mouth was i don't think people believe that. they booed when they said white lives matter. >> i'll tell you the reason that was so tone deaf. you reported last week on this major tragedy. kate steinle, there woman died in san francisco. if i was on your show and you

said something like the murderer of kate steinle should be brought to justice. and i responded, well every murderer should be brought to justice. noble disagrees but it would be miserably offensive to say that in that context. >> you use this big word fallacy. the fallacy that is called from my fellow nerds out there is a fallacy of illicit transferrience. why martin o'malley why he apologized. >> was that an an sense of back bone moment? was that an opportunity for martin o'malley to look at the crowd and say that kind of attitude would not help the cause. >> absolutely. he missed his moment. he missed his presidential moment. right there to say, you know what folks? all lives matter. i don't care what you think. i'm not trying to be president so i can be president of black people. i'm president of everybody.

that was his time. and he could have gone on to say if black lives matter so much why don't they matter to you with abortion? why don't they matter to you when black people are killing each other in record numbers in disproportionate number in your own community? why doesn't it matter, the people who call themselves african-americans don't care about the genocide in the mother land. >> that wouldn't exactly have been a barn burner. >> you can accuse martin o'malley of a lot of things. the there mayor character on the wire in hbo was based on his character. he has looked out for an untold number of black lives as a mayor of baltimore. >> how many times have we heard among gop field, that may play with the gop base but they're going to get killed in a general election with that kind of rhetoric. guess what governor o'malley. guess what. >> it is even better. o'malley presided over the state of maryland and as mayor of baltimore, and i don't know a

year that they haven't been in the top ten for murders. and again, those murders -- >> i lived in baltimore for a short time when he was mayor. and i will say, i saw him out there picking up trash on trash day. we'll send on that happy note. bye! donald trump is getting slammed in the press for that the the comments on mccain not being a hero of war. we'll fact check the matter. >> does donald trump owe you an apology? >> no. i don't think so. but i think he may owe an apology to the families of those who have sacrificed in conflict. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla apremilast. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently.

things about a lot of people. >> joining me now, senator mccain's daughter radio host of america now and fox news criticalor meghan mccain. along with howie kurtz. all right. some are saying mr. trump is being unfairly attacked because he did not, he said first he's not a war hero and then he said three time right after, he is a war hero. he said i like people who aren't captured. >> in new york we call that a dis. you know what i'm saying? the magic of videotape, you played it. we've all seen it 12 times now. trump was questioning john mccain's war hero status. a guy who was repeatedly tortured during five and a half years in vietnam and trump's default setting is to rip the media when he talks himself into trouble. the remarkable thing is even in the midst of this he was saying he's toast, he's history, she pack it up. they're still underestimating

donald trump and his appeal. >> because why? they don't like him? why? >> trump, they don't understand donald trump that he plays by his own set of rules. when he plays by this take no prisoners talk he goes up against the establishment. and even against john mccain who is absolutely an american hero but as a senator, he is not the first or second or third choice of the most conservative part of republican base. so there is just this rush to declare trump to be a side show illegitimate. he has a double digit lead in the polls. it doesn't exclude what he says. >> how do you get jacket off him? i like people who are not captured. how does the u.s. military get past that comment. >> yoth i don't have any doubt that donald trump hurt himself with veterans with that kind of

comment and john mccain on a morning television said he doesn't owe me an apology. he owes veterans an apology. very smart. donald trump keeps doing. this yet the people who have no use for the political and media establishment say he's a rich guy and he doesn't take any gunfire. the details don't matter to them all that much. >> we'll see. as the next poll comes out. good to see you. >> my pleasure. >> joining us now, meghan mccain, host of america now. great to see you. >> thank you so much for having me. >> he keeps standing by the comments saying i did say he is a war hero. i'm being misrepresented. >> my father has been in public office since before i was born. and this is one of the grossest most disgusting comments i've ever heard which is really saying something. i'm 30 years old. and it is because it's not just an attack on my father. it is an attack on all veterans

and an attack on all p.o.w.s. like cell mates of my father like come bud day, who was awarded the congressional medal of honor and during his death was the most highly decorated american alive. >> what did you make of i don't know whether he was saying what he really felt trying to be incendiary. but the comment i just highlighted, i like people who aren't captured. >> i don't know what he was saying. it was a come from an extremely disconnected millionaire living in new york city. my little brother just return from afghanistan three weeks ago. he got to come home to hearing his father's heroism discussed on television by a man who deferred his time in vietnam four times. and i think what the worst part about this is it is taking away from real conversations we should be having about the failures of the obama administration and it makes republicans look disorganized and we're infighting and on top

of everything else any discussion about any veteran's heroism at all has no place in the national dialogue whatsoever. >> would you say that about john kerry and the swift boat veterans for truth and raised questions about whether he was telling the truth about his experience? >> any conversation whatsoever. john kerry made some very nice remarks about my father. they are friends. i would never question john kerry's heroism or service to this question. >> you're an interesting person to ask this of. you are not some far right idealog. do you think that the media is blowing this up? even greater than they otherwise would because imts gop on gop violence? if you will? >> i think the media is -- i don't think the media is blowing this up. i think it was an incredibly disgusting incendiary comment by donald trump. but i think the media loves it.

i think it is taking away from discussing the failures of the obama administration and the short comings of hillary clinton which is why this is really very sad. >> who do you like in the election so far? >> well you know i love lindsey graham. he is like an uncle to me. i've grown up around him. i'm really coming around to marco rubio at the moment. >> i missed it. who was the other person? >> marco rubio. but there are over 400 days between now ask the election cycle. >> and over 400 candidates on the gop side so it works out well. great to see you. welcome. >> thank you so much. >> i would like to know your thoughts. let me know. facebook.com/the kelly file. critics are sounding off about what they call a new low for the folks in the far left media matters group. as one of the top staffers attacks ann romney about her fight with multiplesclerosis. they're so classy.
