joining us brit hume. that's my take on it, brit. what's yours? >> i would first say, megyn i regret this happened. brian is a friend of mine, someone i always liked and admired. we were white house correspondents back in the clinton years for a couple years. i found him to be a great company, great fun, a good friend hilariously funny. i never detected, megyn in his work as a journalist there no tendency to not tell the truth or embellish. he seemed a straight shooter and a fine television news anchor. so i was surprised by these developments. and saddened by them. and i, like you, hope that somehow he can overcome this. >> you know, i was thinking about what he needs to do to get back to where he was. i was asking myself well will the american public forgive him. and i think they will forgive him if he comes out and offers a full-throated me a cull pennsylvania. but it's not about forgiveness really, but whether he can establish that trust with the american audience, to get them to believe what he is telling them. >> well, that's obviously true

>> well, we've been documenting ant kachin and sean, hume rights activates have have been tracking forced labor rape, in kachin state and not in the could can area, but if the paver of the military in the past is any indication there should be some i have serious concerns now. >> do you think there will be any account ability? >> i'm sorry i had trouble hearing your question. >> what about accountability? >> yes. >> so far there has been very little if any accountant, there have been human rights violations by all parties. we would expect the rules of law, the rules of law has not worked out so well of myanmar's ft. population. >> whether yingluck shinn wawrt will stand trial for her part in the downturn in the thailand situation. >>> and drew thomas reports from sydney. >> an innocent man held for 30 years, david hicks has finally killed his name. >> relieved. also it is exhausted because it's been a long time. >> shortly after al qaeda's 9/11 attacks. he had been getting military training, hicks spent five years at the notorious prison camp. before he did a deal to secure his deportatio

joining us now is brit hume, our fox news senior political analyst.t, good to have you with us tonight. >> hi, martha. >> your thoughts on this, and on the fact that the white house hasn't even mentioned the story of upwards of 100 people taken out of their homes? >> well i think it's pretty clear, martha, that the president does not want to frame this conflict with isis in a religious context. he refuses to label this as islamic terrorism. or even to say islamic extremism. he simply talks about violent extremism. the last thing he wants to do is frame this as christians versus muslims. so the white house is reluctant on this consistent with the way the white house has behaved before on issues of this kind. i'm guessing there will be something said in the next few days. the president does not want to fan the flames on this mostly christian country to say we need to go there and put a stop to this. in fact, what he's doing now which is the bombing campaign that he's carrying out largely in iraq, it seems to me is a result of public pressure that came f

i had to reach way back to the early days of education when you're starting to be taught locke and hume and descartes and all that. what's the point of this book? >> guest: well, there are really two aspects of it that are sort of the epicenters of it. one is: what is our tradition? what is the american political tradition? what does it consist of? that's the first level of it. and the second level is: where does it come from? why do we have the tradition that we have? and the way that we are taught our history, the way i was taught it and, based on what you were saying before apparently the way you were taught it and, i think, a lot of other people, is that our freedoms are a secular product that they come out of the enlightenment, they come out of the period with the french revolution, when people rejected the authority of religion and set up institutions on a purely rational basis. and that's where you get your locke and your hume and your descartes and all of that, all of which sounds awfully academic and awfully irrelevant to current events. but it isn't, because much of what we se

brit hume says this is not true. >> there are serious public health reasons why certain vaccinationsuld be mandatory. i don't think that it is reasonable for example for the new york times to say that the conservatives largely speaking don't buy that. i think the times provided no support for their proposition. there are people on the right and as you have demonstrated very ably megyn on the left as well who are skeptical of the idea and think autism may be caused by vaccinations and so forth. the idea that that is a view widely held among conservatives is unsupported by any data i know of or anything the new york times is reporting in its story which was clearly an effort to tar i think conservatives and republicans with this idea this sort of anti science notion on vaccination. >> in another news more trouble for the va. the director of denver va hospital now retiring. the announce am comes days after a local news report found a secret list of veterans waiting for appointments. lynette ross announced her retirement in an e-mail to staff. it is not related to the waiting list. ross

brit hume when you look at that landscape, you see these christian leaders taking these threats and these actions very seriously, and some doubt that our president, white taking them seriously, is -- whether he is appreciating the targeting of specific religious groups, and the importance of that in identifying this conflict. >> well, megyn i think he recognizes that the people killed were killed for being christians. what he's trying to do is not fan any sentiment that might result in pressure on him to do something really serious about this. because i do not believe that the president is faking when he says that he does not believe isis is a existential threat to the united states of america. i don't think he believes that. and i think he's only doing what he's doing in resisting isis because of the pressure that was generated by the beheadings of the americans and by these other hideous atrocities that we've seen. i think he believes the american military footprint in the world has been more often a cause of than a solution to the problems we're facing now. and unless he sees what he c

i know bill o'reilly has come to his support, megyn kelly and brit hume on fox news said they want to see him survive this. but there hasn't been an outpouring of support at nbc universal that. speaks to the level of embarrassment it's caused the network. >> and one big problem for nbc news is they don't have a replacement. they're going to park him here for six months and if they can get somebody else to sit in the chair maybe he's gone. maybe he's an insurance policy in case lester holt doesn't work out. >> we've heard everything from savannah guthrie, perhaps jon stewart might be interested in moving over to do real moves from fake news. all options are on the table at this point. but i don't know that they have a plan. i think they're just starting to figure out what they might do if they don't bring him back. keep in mind this investigation is still ongoing. they could find other embellishments in this investigation that could basically mean the end for him. >> if you look at nbc news gosh just a few years ago, they were riding high the crown jewels in the nbc network. they've ta

>> first i will say i think everybody has a bias and i think that the question is as brit hume alwayss are you aware of your bias and do you try to correct for the bias? and so as far as the mainstream media goes, they are overwhelmingly liberal. i don't think anybody can dispute that anymore. every study has shown that the issue is whether or not they are able to correct for the bias, i would say that generally are not because i don't think they think they are biased. >> okay. that's an interesting point. they won't acknowledge the reality. what is the root cause of the bias on the left? >> well the bias is that they have a world view that assumes that liberals are right and so they are going to go into a situation if a liberal is saying one thing and conservative saying another thing, they are going to give more credence to what the liberal is saying. >> polls show 40% of americans hold conservative groups 30% fundamentally liberal views. that isn't reflected in journalism. in fact, it's probably 80% liberal, 10% conservative. so, how do the liberals get control of the national medi
