mcfarland, and pulitzer prize winner judith miller. the most polarizing members of the president's cabinet. president obama announcing the resignation of attorney general eric holder and he talked about his legacy. >> it might be reinvigorating and restoring the core mission to what he calls the conscious of the civil rights division. he has been relentless against attacks on the civil rights voting act. no citizen should have to jump through hoops to exercise their most fundamental right. >> the attorney general isn't going anywhere, however. he will stay on until the president nominates a successor and the person is confirmed. joining us is congressman randy forbes, house armed services committee and the house judiciary committee. held in contempt by the house of representatives. >> lou, it was interesting when the the president was speaking the. he suggested that he had appointed mr. holder as america's lawyer and as the people's lawyer. and mr. holder might have been a number of things, but he was anything but america's lawyer, the

my friend and journalist fox news contributor judith miller. all right, judith. ever hear that one?n soindividual extreme lis believe a lot of different things, judge jeanine. i have to tell you what miriam al mansouri means to me she not only flew this f-16 complicated plane she led the combat mission. that is an extraordinary gesture by the united arab emirates. it says we the moderate muslims of the world do not need people taking religion in vein. we will fight. we will send our women to fight and best planes we bought from you but we will defeat you. >> not that we have time but i was reading about her. i was so impressed. she had to wait 10 years to get into the school. 35 years old. >> we all chair her on. >> atta girl. >> even more than that i want our viewers to know judy has spent 25 years in the middle east ahead of the bureau for the new york times. you are very knowledgeable what about this group is this for real? >> what i find interesting is the semantic game they are playing. they don't want to admit these are the same people that we have been watching since they lef

. >> guest: i think the first time i really thought about it seriously was an article by judith miller and jeff gerth is in the new york times, round about the time the state department released this kind of rather detailed fact sheet about him. and i thought, 'well, that's kind of interesting,' because it always seemed to me that the bombing of the world trade center was the -- you know, when you're a prosecutor, there's a rather narrow set of things you're looking for. i mean, who bombed the trade center? and that question was solved by the trials. but who was behind the bombing wasn't ever really asked very seriously, it didn't seem to me, perhaps because it just didn't seem that necessary or whatever, but here was something kind of odd about the people. they came from peshawar, pakistan; you know, ramzi yousef, the mastermind. they seemed to have money from somewhere. they must have had training to build these explosives. i mean, who is doing all that? they didn't just suddenly show up in brooklyn and know how to build a huge bomb. and, you know, it turns out, you know, the more th

in the early hours of the morning in russia right now, we have judith miller.conference is being held in kiev this year. so that we understand more. can you explain what the conference is about to . >> the conference is really focusing on the faith in the future of the ukraine, which has been fighting for its life. and there are assembled here are some 350 diplomats and foreign service people and experts on the region, european commissioners and is an extraordinary number of people but no americans have discussed the future of the ukraine as of yet. ashely: what is the reaction from the eu and the u.s. that has really targeted, most importantly, the future of russia's energy industry? >> everyone is very pleased that 28 nations of the european community managed to agree on this third set of sanctions aimed at crippling the russian economy that is closest to vladimir putin. his oil drilling equipment, has financial establishment of 25 people who were closest to him. but the americans went even beyond that and they targeted the kremlin's largest bank. and even so

joining us now, judith miller, pulitzer-prize-winning investigative reporter, author and fox news contributorh us, radio talk show host and fox news contributor as well. before we launch into this discussion, i want to show you what nbc's chuck todd had to say eric holder. >> attorney general has to do the tough stuff and this is not forgiving job. what is interesting about him he is very non-political person. people u.s. to mistakenly think this guy was long-time political operative who happened to be a an attorney general. that is not him at all. that used to get him in hot water with some of the president's own political aides who sometimes felt eric holder was not thinking about the politics of an issue. jon: so he is not a guy who thinks about the politics of an issue. judy, your response. >> i think i have other problems with the soon to be former attorney general. my most important is as a journalist, and i think as an american, i was very upset by the extent to which he has gone after the press, for doing our job, which is bringing americans the news. i mean he has had more leak inves

judith miller, manhattan institute for policy research, a pulitzer prize winning author and fox newstributor. russell goldsmith, chairman and ceo of citi national bank, reporting strong earnings. thank you for joining us. this is just extraordinary. i don't understand how this keeps on going. it's almost like a comedy. five more people. >> it is a comedy. the problem is, there is no time to get it done and congress is going to be back for 12 days. >> right. >> the senate is out september 23rd. they've got a budget resolution, export/import. obviously, the president's speech and all of the concernrnn the international arena. this just becomes one more sort of background noise. it should be a full investigation, it should be something -- something should be done about it, but it's not going to. >> so you don't think -- you have any confidence it will turn into an investigation? >> i don't have any confidence the administration will be able to do anything with it. >> judy? >> i wish i could be optimistic, but i'm not. there is a great agenda of items to do out there and i don't think th

let's talk about it with judith miller, author and fox news contributor.alkshow host with us. most of us hadn't given a lot of thought to, the fact these guys are media experts, they were the first in iraq known as al qaeda in iraq, the first ones to shoot video of their ied explosions, the first ones on youtube, what is it getting them now in the current conflict? >> it is making people afraid, which is what it wants to do. i disagree with people who say this is an excellent device. i think it recruits nut cases and brutal thugs, but it scares people and certainly scared our president into action and language we haven't heard from him of this destroying this group making sure they don't spread, the vice president talking about following them to the gates of hell. a poll showed people who think we are not doing enough about islamic militancy has jumped since the first beheading video from 17% to 31%. we need to wake up, and isis videos are helping to do that. jon: what do you think of that, are they having perhaps not the effect the terrorists intended? >>

let's talk about it now with judith miller, a pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter and fox newsutor, tammy roos is also with us. what about it, tammy? there are accusations that the media, you know, putting still photos of the unfortunate journalists just before they were beheaded on the front pages, that the media are driving an attack on isil which maybe does not need to take a place? what do you think? >> well, look, i mean, that's news. what's happening in the world is news. americans should know about it. and what senator paul is doing is part of the problem that president barack obama's doing in that they are referring back to the past of a situation that was entirely unique and a dynamic that was different. this is now. this is a different situation. this is a dynamic that is created out of syria. the meltdown of the syrian dynamic, isis coming out of that, and this is what's so very strange, is the these to attach a political framework to the choices we make. at the same time, you know, the media in some ways is covering certainly some very basic news like the beheadings
