tv The O Reilly Factor FOX News December 22, 2015 5:00pm-6:01pm PST
5:00 pm
ecord" after you finish watching your other favorite fox programs. is 1:01 each night would be a good time. thanks for being with us. see you tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. eastern. up next the o'reilly factor. good night from washington d.c. ♪ ♪ >> hi, i'm eric bolling in for bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us, we begin tonight with g.o.p. frontrunner donald trump ramping up his attacks on hillary clinton. at a campaign event last night, he set his sights on hillary yet again this time taking aim at late return to the debate stage after a bathroom break during a commercial. >> i'm watching the debate and she disappeared. where did she go? where did she go? i thought she quit. i thought she gave up they had to start the debate
5:01 pm
without her phase two. i know where she went. it's disgusting. i don't want to talk about it. >> no, it's too disgusting. >> trump continued his attack using a vulgar yiddish word mrs. clinton for losing the election in 2008. everything involved in. she was going to beat obama. she was favored to win and she got [bleep] she lost. i mean she lost. >> joining us from washington contributor editor conservative review and from los angeles democratic strategist matthew littman. it wouldn't be a night. i wouldn't be sitting in for o'reilly on the factor. your thoughts on mr. trump going after hillary clinton? >> i know it's hard to believe but he may have gotten a little bit carried away. i think, you know, he started out okay. hillary mentioned these videos that nobody had seen, right?
5:02 pm
okay fine. trump has some ground to criticize there. but then he goes so far off the deep end it's completely unnecessary. but the question really is, why did he do it, eric? >> he did it because hillary clinton made up a lie. she said he was one -- >> -- no, no, no, no. >> recruiting tools. >> no one to this day can find a trump in an isis recruiting video. dan jump in here very quickly. it seems like when you attack donald trump he hits back harder and he is willing to do that with hillary, too. >> yeah, well, there is two things matt is getting wrong here. the first one is there is no deep end for trump. and i don't know, matt, you have got to get out of the d.c. bubble a bit. the level of disgust in america right now at the cesspool in washington, d.c. just because you don't see the pitch forks doesn't mean the disgust isn't out there. people feel like they are being ruled not governed. they see trump as anti-what they hate about d.c. is. and secondly the most biting attacks out there in politics are are the ones that already fit a
5:03 pm
preexisting narrative. here is the narrative about mrs. clinton, she is elitist from inside the d.c. bubble. she couldn't make it back on time from a bathroom break. this is a bigger deal than it seems on its face. good for trump for hitting her on it. >> matthew, i'm guessing, i don't know this, but i think he was trying to say she lacked which means took a beating but something else slipped out. whatever. >> for you to try to to figure out what trump means good luck. number one. number two, far from the d.c. bubble i live in los angeles. number three hillary is ahead in all the polls, i'm not sure why you are criticizing hillary. to say also that it's bad that she had a bathroom break. are you kidding me? is that what we are. >> no, no, not that. but she came back late to a debate being televised live on abc. >> i truly and i don't think any voter is going to care. >> by the way dan i think she occupied that restroom other, i guess bernie sanders was trying to get in there. >> eric, listen i don't know
5:04 pm
if the l.a. bubble is much better by the way. clinton is elitist insider leveraging because she has no principle. do they care that she went to the bathroom. that's not the point. that's not what i said. you skewed my words. what i said was the fact that she came back late gave the appearance on tv she doesn't seem to care about everyone else. biting narrative are the ones that fit the preexisting narrative. >> all right dan to who did it give that impression number one? number two. >> one you said. >> talk about a bubble? >> i don't live in west palm beach, i live in palm city. secondly, you are talking about mrs. clinton, the woman who doesn't stand for anything. you know, she doesn't want to pay taxes and so she sets up these real estate- >> -- no dan no, dan. >> what's the question? >> the question was you said that you are saying that people are upset that she came out of the bathroom late as if it is some sense of privilege.
5:05 pm
>> can we progress this bathroom story a little bit? hang in here. you have donald trump on one side and hillary clinton on the other side. is this good politics, good strategy, start with you littman for either one of them to be taking shots at the other one who is leading their side? >> generally i think it's good for both of them. so i think on the republican side for trump to go after hillary is a winner for trump. on the democratic side, and probably for most independents, for hillary to go after trump just increases her support also. so i think actually for both of them it's a win. >> okay. so dan, on hillary's side she has got a clear lead. let's forget her. is this more for donald trump to get sucked into that debate against hillary especially when it's things like this whole vape videotape thing isis recording and going. he has got to win his side first, right? >> matt is desperate right here to pull out some benefit for hillary. hillary is getting smoked on this. matt, to answer your prior question, she was up in the
5:06 pm
polls against just about every republican candidate a year ago. she is now getting she lacked by just about every one of them. what do you mean to who? just about everybody they are polling? >> where is hillary versus trump on the polls? >> matt, she is down everywhere against all these candidates. >> where in the poll? an the question. dan, don't be afraid. >> i'm not afraid. >> 40 has changed. >> but the polls change. and there are are times where every single g.o.p. candidate goes up against hillary and beats or at least the top four or five or so. so the polls are going to change. i'm trying to figure out if trump should be aiming his sights on hillary. i know a lot of nontrump supporters would like to see the focus put on hillary clinton instead of the other candidates. maybe not a bad strategy. let's start with you littman. >> so i think that for trump to go after hillary is very good strategy for trump. his big problem right now is that ted cruz is catching him, right? but for donald trump to be perceived as the
5:07 pm
frontrunner, which he still is and have hillary go after him is absolutely a win for trump. the question for trump is, are there enough angry white men to really win an election? >> i'm going to go it to dan very quickly. what really sparked this whole back and forth that we have got trump going was hillary claiming that trump was part of some isis recruiting tool. meanwhile, i have seen barack obama -- >> -- not correct. >> i have seen obama isis recruiting tool. i didn't hear her mention that. >> that's correct, too. >> i have seen seen, i can't confirm this but i have even seen her husband bill clinton on some of these isis videos or what appear to be isis videos or what we understand to be isis videos. dan, quick thought before we go? >> leave it to matt to then throw the race card out. matt doesn't want to acknowledge hillary's trajectory has been down for a year now. you know it you want specific polls just look at the trajectory. it's completely down hill. she is going up against a saber tooth right now. >> she is winning. >> she is in way out of her game. she has lost. >> she is ahead by seven points in today's poll.
5:08 pm
5:11 pm
in the election 2016 segment tonight, interesting new polling from the folks at quinnipiac university, they found that half of american voters say they would be embarrassed to have donald trump as their president. only 23 percent said they would feel proud. even so the donald is still leading the g.o.p. pack with 28%. ted cruz 224%. marco rubio 12%. ben carson 10%. chris christie comes in at 6%. as for hillary clinton 35% of voters surveyed said they would feel embarrassed to have her as commander and chief while 33% say they
5:12 pm
would feel proud. what do all these poll numbers mean in the real world? with us in the real world in new york andrea tantaros, the co-host of outnourished and from tampa a democratic strategist jessica erhlick. andrea, i heard you earlier on outnumbered talk about this. very interesting that half the voters would be embarrassed to have donald trump. yet, they are still nominating him right now. >> because that doesn't matter. not why people go to the voting booth and embarrassed or not. who represents their values? i think you see something very interesting with this poll eric, people and especially in other polls blue collar voters which is why president obama attacked trump head on in that npr interview seemed to be gravitating toward trump. democrats own they claim this but he, trump is giving a voice to blue collar mail male voters. when you look at hillary clinton, she is not galvanizing women the way she should be.
5:13 pm
men in this country eric, and you talk about this all the time on the five the would you sayification of america. they have been masculated and feminized by the left that has pushed on a culture it. they see donald trump as somebody who speaks for them. >> we see the poll, donald trump is still leading the pack. ted cruz moving up. is this problematic and by the way do we kay what americans feel if they are proud or embarrassed? don't we want to be safe? >> i think it will make a difference actually, because what you are looking at there is the independent voters who are saying that they would be embarrassed to have donald trump as their president. and they are going to make a difference. we already know donald trump and democrats like hillary. the concern is what independents say. what are some of those independent women saying. what are some of the independent men saying. everyone is concerned what's going to happen with the hispanic vote. they are saying they would be embarrassed to have trump but hillary doesn't embarrass them. that's an interesting question that's posed. i don't know that it's going to make that much of a difference in terms of what andrea said people vote on
5:14 pm
that. but, there is a difference, also, where you see, you know, i think the republican primary, the favorable unfavorables are fascinating . doing horribly. she is way under water. >> hillary and trump eric, if you look at this poll, their likability numbers are are the same. the trustworthy numbers are the same they neutralize each other. >> they do. >> embarrassment point, who is more embarrassing than president obama? hillary clinton's foreign policy, seriously she is supposed to do her job and protect americans and she couldn't do it. that's not just embarrassing. that's disgraceful. >> if you look at their likability numbers they are the same. >> give a lot of favor to that embarrassment question. >> jessica? >> i don't give favorability. their likabilitiability is equally on par. they get very high points both of them for people believing they have leadership and the qualities it takes to be president. that's a specific question and they both scored very high on that.
5:15 pm
so do people think that a leader needs to be likeable? not necessarily. they need to be capable of do their job. all these questions what it is going to come down to is where are people voting? when it comes to a head to head they prefer clinton to trump. >> look at the numbers. although ted cruz is making a substantial move up as ben carson moves down, ted cruz moves up. >> he is moving up. i think it points to, eric, something very important that the republican base, that the root of the party that has worked so hard to win in these midterm elections is sick and tired of the establishment. an establishment that put up two loadsers, two moderates essentially that haven't got the job done. you see a little bit of a cruz surge he and trump are the ones garnering the plurality of the vote. >> more than 50% between the two of them. >> which speaks to the fact that the republican party is sick of the establishment. they want something different and cruz and trump represent that. >> you can't dispute that, jess, i will give you a shot. >> cruz is a senator from texas. it's not like he is a total outsider here. >> his policy is very
5:16 pm
different, jessica. >> that's how he plays himself. >> husband policy is very different from rubio. >> jessica let me they this to you. ted cruz could be the most outsider of the inside d.c. he literally can't get other senators to even vote with him. >> he is not popular. he is not popular. he certainly likes to play the outsider card even among other senators. what's interesting is when you look at the favorable and unfavorables cruz and rubio are almost identical in members among the republican voters which means there is a huge amount of gap there that rubio could make up, also. >> hillary clinton is caught bold faced lying about donald trump in the alleged isis recruiting video that doesn't exist. and people don't care. andrea, why is it that people don't hold her to the same standards that they hold the republicans? >> because she has got the media covering for her. what does she do? thee play the victim card and distracts and makes it about trump's rhetoric. she is a liar. that's one of her highest negatives across the board
5:17 pm
people think she is a liar. that's been proved. her husband is the one that showed up in the isis video. more important than that, hillary has to make up her mind eric, is she a victim who can't take the rhetoric that hurts her feelings from donald trump or is she a strong leader? i think this back and forth with trump shows the latter and it hurts her. >> it exposes the ominous underbelly of the clinton organization. >> i don't even know where to start. i think it is sort of the opposite. i don't think she is really concerned can. i think actually, anybody who. >> her campaign is very concerned. >> always ends up very ugly for everybody which is why cruz avoids going head to head about trump. he is the only person who avoids it. >> that may be ugly but this was a beautiful segment. directly ahead strange relationship between donald trump and the press is the media being unfair to the frontrunner? we have a debate coming up.
5:18 pm
5:21 pm
strange and combative relationship between donald trump and the press. trump makes no secret of how he feels about the media but in case you weren't certain listen to this doosie from a rally last night. >> by the way i hate some of these people, but i would never kill them. i hate them. no, these people, honestly, i will be honest. i will be honest. i would never kill them. [ laughter ] i would never do that. let's think no, i wouldn't. i would never kill them. but i do hate them. and some of them are such lying disgusting people. it's true. it's true. [cheers and applause] >> well, the question is trump getting a fair shake from the press or are they bringing -- trying to bring him down.
5:22 pm
joining us now from virginia, tim graham of the media research center and from washington lauren ash burn ewtn. lauren, i get it he doesn't like the press and the press doesn't like him. the press holds the g.o.p. to a higher standard than they hold hillary clinton and the liberals. >> donald trump is a bombastic flame thrower who divides this country and he does it so that he can get attention. he knows how to manipulate the media. there is no question about it. and, he is a lot like isis in that regard. isis uses social media to kill people. g.o.p. front runner to isis. yes, trump bombastic yes. is he isis?
5:23 pm
no. the problem we have is the other republican candidates can't get a word in edge wise because the news media like this show. they like it bombastic. they like it that he doesn't spend much time on policy. he calls somebody a pig and this guy a loser and discusses which persons he is not going to kill. >> of course, i completely agree with you tim. that's the way they like it? >> i completely agree with you there. the 13 others who are left don't get the attacks. it is because he is such a master manipulator when it comes to the media. if he doesn't like you he insults you and you tweet about it. if he likes you and he loves you, like he does with eric, eric promotes him. promotes the fact that he has got an interview with trump. >> i promote segments that i have with trump. >> i didn't mean you promoted donald trump. sorry. >> look at it this way lauren, if the media don't show up, if they are so disgusted by donald trump then why are there fouror five rows of people taking pictures and cameras front row on him because they want to hear what he has to say.
5:24 pm
>> of course. and he is the frontrunner. i'm not denying him coverage. what i would like to see is a little coverage of say, i don't know, someone who espouses his same views. i interviewed rick santorum for my program the other day. rick santorum has a lot of views of donald trump except he is a nice guy. and as we know, nice guys finish last. he doesn't come out and insult every single person sees. >> where is the news media over the last couple of days calling out hillary clinton for lying lying this b. this isis videos that doesn't exist? dispr please send it to me because i have been looking for it, lauren. >> it's been on your network. >> this is exactly the problem is that your original point was right and that is there is nothing wrong with calling out trump when he says something that's false. the problem we have the news media they only fact check one way. hillary can talk about sniper fire and blame benghazi on a youtube video and lie about this in a
5:25 pm
debate that nobody watched. >> and how much coverage did that youtube video of benghazi get? >> going on a comedy show with jerry seinfeld. >> this entire network covered the benghazi hearings from beginning to end. what are you talking about? >> it isn't the thed me we're talking about the rest of the media. >> video while she stood next to drake's casket at andrew's air force base knowing very well had nothing to do with it. there in lies one of the biggest problems. hillary clinton has the media. hillary clinton also has holiday. you watch "saturday night live." everything, all the skits are geared toward making her look humorous, making her look funny and vulnerable. look at what they do to the republicans, they destroy them lauren. >> and they have trump say -- they had had trump this saturday night saying none of us have a chance. and then they go -- >> -- that's not true. how many countless times have i seen george w. bush. >> you want to go to the
5:26 pm
tape? >> go ahead lauren. >> on saturday night they said basically that the republicans are going to lose. >> tim hold on. >> how many times have we seen republican candidates criticized by snl? that's how they make their money. that's how their chief writers earn their living by coming up with skits like that. look, we are missing the point here tim. >> they make it funny and cute and humorous. when they do bernie sanders they bring in larry david who is hilarious and loivel. you have got to love anyone who is a democrat, they are proper at ad as fun heart felt vulnerable and the republicans are just trashed. >> yep exactly. >> i have seen people go after -- democrats, you know, i think we are missing the point here. >> there is no question that "saturday night live" is an obama, hillary propaganda outfit. >> the media love to cover a bully, number one and they love to cover somebody who makes news. this guy understands how to make news. he has hardly spent any money in advertising because
5:27 pm
all he has to do is tweet out a little something and the world goes crazy. >> and lauren ash burn, we had donald trump on her show if he would come on tomorrow, i would bet my bottom dollar on that one. tim and lauren, i'm going to leave it right there. thank you very much. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. a group of muslim imams say they have to do a better job of keeping the isis. wonder what took them so long to come to that conclusion. plus a new surge of minors illegally crossing the southern border. is it time to take drastic measures? we hope you stay tuned to those reports. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line. what's in your wallet?
5:30 pm
5:31 pm
in the impact segment tonight, a group of muslim advocacy organizations claim there has been so much anti-muslim backlash after the terror attacks in san bernardino and paris that they are launching a voter registration drive and a bus tour to educate americans. the group held a must conference yesterday also suggesting it's time to step up their efforts to keep young muslims from joining isis. >> we are very clear from this effort that we have to do better job of reaching out to our young people from the pulpits of the mosques in america and teaching them how they can avoid the seductive approaches that are found on the internet from groups like isis and others. >> i wonder what took so long? joining us from now from
5:32 pm
detroit the publisher of the arab american news and from phoenix dr. zuhdi jasser the president of the islamic forum for democracy. here we are december 22nd it took a long time for these imams to finally say hey, time for moderate muslims to speak up and address the youth. >> they have been speaking.ng to them. they have been speaking for long time. this is a very good thing that they are doing. it's better late than never to register people to get them involved in the american political process. that is the american way. >> i don't know, mr. siblani we spend a lot of time watches these things this seems like the first public outreach. can i address something? they said they want to talking to youth about not being radicalized by isis. how about condemning some of the things going on around the world. i didn't hear a lot about that. >> i have heard them condemn this over and over again. and i tell you yesterday we
5:33 pm
had a press conference here in detroit and the media were there and we condemned it in the strongest terms. the museum community has been -- muslim community has been condemning attacks against innocent people. you have to remember one thing that we are the victim of this. most of the victims of isis are muslims. they are being burned in the thousands. >> i'm not sure, mr. siblani warn i'm not sure who was muslim in that attack. >> i'm not talking about the california attack. >> dr. is this enough and is it a little late. >> you know, eric, when you said what took so long, i'm trying to figure out what was positive about this development. these groups came together in a very islamist way and spoke as one voice. almost like alcoholics get together and say they are going to get rid of drunk driving. they didn't address the ideology. only address the means which is terrorism. they are not addressing the ideology. we had a reform movement
5:34 pm
that formed in a summit at the same national press club three weeks ago. we didn't condemn the terrorism. what we said is we condemn the ideology. we made a declaration we are against i have had. violent jihad. against the caliphate. for the equality of men and women. we owned up to the fact that our faith has core ideas that need reformed and we as muslims want to own it i saw none of that ownership and in fact, eric, the intoxicant of collective islamism is exactly what these groups embodied and they are going to continue to radicalized our faith community youth. >> some of the numbers the most recent polls that we found pew poll and gallup poll have shown that somewhere around 8% of muslim americans say suicide bombings are often or sometimes justified. i do math and that number comes 3 million people or so 8%. you are talking about 240,000 muslim americans who think it's okay for suicide bomb at least sometimes. >> well, first of all, i have to say that we have to
5:35 pm
hire v. your other guest to reform islam. that's ridiculous. islam there is 1.5 billion people believe in this religion. i am one of them. i'm very proud to be a muslim. muslim american. now to answer your question, i don't know what kind of a question was asked i can't answer your make sense out of it. >> both pew and gallup polled muslim americans and the numbers were fairly similar and i cited a pew poll that has 11% say attacks on civilians are sometimes justified. now 11% of 300 million. >> let me give you another poll. can i give you another poll? there is another poll that 30% of republicans wants to go out and fight aladdin. >> nonsense. >> it's a disneyland. it's a movie. >> i mean, listen, osama do you take americans for fools
5:36 pm
we talking about muslims need reform. coming out of regimes like saudi arabia, iran, hamas. your own publication could not get itself to condemn hamas and hezbollah so. for you to tell the american public that we don't need reform, are you kidding? americans are not fools. you need to wake up and look at the organizations and governments speaking on behalf of muslims around the world and own up to the fact that they're radicalling our youth from corner to corner of the planet in the tune of hundreds of millions that you continue to america about. >> this is all propaganda, you know. what you need to do. >> propaganda. >> what you need to know about islam. your ignorance is not an excuse because you don't know islam. >> that's your answer, ignorance? please elaborate about the substance what i'm talking about. rather, you are deflecting and showing. >> go ahead. >> the substance is that
5:37 pm
radicalization is on equal footing among all the religions and ideologies, christianity judaism and islam, there are people be radicalized. >> you are equating. >> would you please let me finish? would you let me finish? >> do it. >> the person who went on shooting rampage in colorado killing an injuring four people in planned parenthood clinic was not a muslim. >> equivalent of the iranian theocracy? >> mr. siblani. >> debated on right wing people who go on fox news. >> you are on fox news right now. >> this is what always happens. you bring a cair representative on and they do the same thing. but what about those other mass shootings? i got to go, gentlemen thank you very much. we have to leave it right there. when we come right back, a dramatic spike in the number of unaccompanied children streaming across our
5:39 pm

5:41 pm
5:42 pm
thanks for staying with us, i'm eric bolling in for bill o'reilly. and in the unresolved problem segment tonight dramatic new influx of unaccompanied children and families trying to cross the southern border. according to customs officials, over the last two months, more than 10,000 children have been stopped trying to get into the united states, that's 106% increase from the same period last year. the number of families stopped at the border is up an astounding 173%. joining us now from seattle to discuss the crisis and how to deal with it, ira mehlman of the federation for immigration reform and fort worth immigration attorney francisco hernandez. >> thank you for having me. >> let's talk about this 107% of families try to cross the border. this feels like a crisis, why is it not. >> it's not. >> why? >> it's not true. the numbers are not there. they said if there are they were stopped. that means they were turned away. they didn't cross the
5:43 pm
border. if they crossed the border where are they? they talked about this new holding facility. they are only building or opening a new one because the last one they lost the lease. the government lost the lease. it's not there the sky is not falling. this is all scare tactics for politics. it's not happening guys. >> ire remarks is that the case that we are just getting better at the border at stopping people coming across the border? >> >> we are not stopping them at all. as a matter of fact, if the border patrol doesn't find them they will find the border patrol and turn themselves in because they know precisely what's going to happen. they will be taking to a processing centered. they will be put back out on the streets somewhere in the united states given a notice to appear. >> you will not put juveniles out on the streets. >> 80% to 90% never show up for their notices to appear. entire families disappear here in the united states. social media is sending messages back to central america come, because if you get here, if you turn yourself in, we will release you into the united states, nobody will ever come looking for you. >> absolutely. >> a.p. reports this is
5:44 pm
precisely what they're telling the border patrol. >> there are reports that illegals are allowed to stay. they are processed and allowed to stay. sometimes they don't show up for their court dates. that's not a fallacy. >> no, no, it is absolutely not true. you just said that 10,000 children cross the border. where are they? they don't release children on the street. but i will tell you there i know for a fact the last time we had this surge 80%, 90% of the ones from last time would were repatrioted, this is a scare tactic, it's not happening. if they are here, give me two, i will adopt two of them right now. baby movies, if it's true, any parent, anywhere in the world would do that. send their child. >> we will keep you informed on whether you have two more children coming your way francisco. ira. >> i will take them. >> 173% increase in families trying to cross the border. 173. we are talking about a big year last year and we are 173% higher than that. >> right now. >> as a kid you are taken
5:45 pm
into the united states. they come with the children because they come with children we release them and give them a notice to appear which they and we know they are never going to honor. the ones who come on their own aren't put on the street. they are released to family members here in the united states many of whom are here illegally themselves. it's a charade. in spite of the fact that the government is sending messages over the air in central america don't come. everybody sees precisely what's happening. and the signal is do come because we will let you in and we will let you stay. >> go ahead rq steinle.
5:46 pm
am i wrong ira? let me get ira in here. >> it's not -- even if that were true but it's not. even one of my worst critics the atom mick bombshellly roger also tell you they are not there. once they are across. >> hang on, hang on. stop stop. >> i agree it doesn't matter. >> ire remarks what's not true francisco. >> they are not here. >> san francisco cities don't allow people to stay without getting deported. >> that means if they go to jail they don't call immigration. immigration can check the jails every single day anyway. they don't need
5:47 pm
rq jump -- hold on francisco. once they jump that court appearance, they have now become eligible to go to a sanctuary city because now they won't be deported for committing that crime. >> but they have an order of deportation which means they will never get any citizenship residency or even any benefits here. they have to live in the shadows. that is just absolutely incorrect. they are not released. we don't release to appear juveniles. no. but if you look at the quote you just used. now, one thing the "the washington post" got it wrong. i don't know where they got the 10,000 number. they don't cite a single source even unidentified single source. we are not releasing juveniles and if we wanted to we have got their identification and go to a school and pull them out. it's not just happening. it's a scare tactic. >> source of the department of homeland security itself. they are the ones compiling statistics. they are the ones releasing these people. >> very heated debate, gentlemen. thank you very much. up next, bowe bergdahl finally faces a judge on charges of desertion and

come on in pop pop. happy birthday. i just had a heart attack... and now i have a choice. for her. for them. and him. a choice to take brilinta. a prescription for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin ...no more than 100 mg. as it affects how well it works. it's such an important thing to do to help protect against another heart attack. brilinta worked better than plavix. and even reduced the chances of dying from another one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding.
5:51 pm
don't take brilinta if you have bleeding like stomach ulcers. a history of bleeding in the brain or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. i will take brilinta today. tomorrow. and every day for as long as my doctor tells me. don't miss a day of brilinta. in the back of the book segment, disgraced sergeant bowe bergdahl faces justice. he was held by the taliban for five years after walking off his base in afghanistan in 2009. today he was arraigned before a military judge in ft. bragg on charges of desertion and misbehavior in front of the enemy. for the latest and a look at what happens next fox news chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge.
5:52 pm
catherine, bring us up to speed. bergdahl goes in front of judge. what does he say what what does he hear? >> basically he takes a pass for the future. he doesn't enter a plea. they'll meet again in january. my contacts say there will be some pretrial motions, and at some point the defense will put their finger up in the air, and then they're going to try for some kind of deal. a good deal for bergdahl would be an unauthorized absence, a lesser charge and then commit for one year in jail. the problem is based on our reporting there's a lot selfpremeditation that he intended to leave the outpost permanently. >> sure. i remember he kept a journal. he had a lot of anti-american rhetoric right? >> he did. just recently one of his squad mates shared a thumb drive with fox news that bergdahl had given him five days before the outpost. that is also some -- so that's a
5:53 pm
sign that he knew he was leaving. those photos don't show a guy who is stressed about the leadership situation in the squad, as he now says in that serial podcast. you see him there with the goats, there's some crazy selfies, there's digging out the outpost itself and lots of photos of these feral cats. i don't know why he seemed to be obsessed with feeding the wildcats. >> to you, now, some of this podcast, it seems to be problematic. he wanted this whole bergdahl situation to go away. obama wanted to go on his hawaiian vacation but this serial podcast, he fancies himself as jason bourne the action hero. >> i know. from looking at,s know those pictures more like spongebob than bourne. let's be clear on this. the bottom line is when you start talking about the details,
5:54 pm
eugene phi del did a great job of rehabilitating him during the article 13 here. he almost broke down in tears talking about the hardship of bergdahl in captivity. in one single podcast he poked the army in the eye and the army said whoa i guess we better move forward with the fact this guy is not a good character. basically put him on the course to waking up to reality which she faces, which is with a general court-martial he could be seeing some hard time. more importantly, eric the if army is contemplating, they have hard evidence hard intelligence showing that this misbehavior before the enemy charge is very much deserved and justified. the question becomes how much of that will they admit in evidence during the courts martial, and as catherine said how much will come in during the horse trading session before the court-martial starts. >> there's been a lot of discussion as to whether some military service people were
5:55 pm
killed in search of bowe bergdahl. has that come up at all? >> that has come up. based on our reporting, there are real questions about whether you can pin the death or injury on the search. this is really hostile territory. the history that comes home to me is based on our contacts this reporting we did about walking off base and getting captured by gymsies and being high one of the military lawyers got in got in touch with our contact saying we want to know more about it. he intended to go bam at some point, but he simply couldn't because he can be captured by these gypsy and he was stoned. i don't mean to make light of this search and i hope i didn't seem that way. i know from the guys this was a really really onerous thing to be looking for him.
5:56 pm
this is the wild west in southeast afghanistan. this was no small thing to be looking for him when he was already across the border in pakistan based on our reporting. >> colonel, i have a 17-year-old son. the thought of my son looking for someone who walked off the base with anti-american comments in his journal makes me crazy. you as a military guy, that has to make you crazy as well. >> i know the people who were personally involved in the search. we talked about mike was actually a senior intelligence officers. eric this is so small point. people did die, at least six coalition members, u.s. and three british died in the process of doing this. more importantly. mike mullins, the chief of staff of the pentagon knew this in december of the year that bergdahl walked away and told to president obama. a real travesty despite the fact of this guy walking off, the white house completely tries to gloss over it and basically tries to push this fiction on the american people that bergdahl is a hero. it completely sickens most
5:57 pm
people who know exactly what happened. it never should have come down like there. about ten seconds or so i have to believe that president obama in hawaii is going, what's next? >> well i don't know. i mean i can't put myself in his shoes, but i can tell us what the squad commander said they totally agree with this idea that no one should be left behind. got to leave it there, catherine. >> thank you so much. up ahead, a special message from bill to you. stay with us.
