7:00 pm
mumia as commencement speaker. what's next, charles manson? let me know what you think. tomorrow is a very special day. my nanna turns 99. happy birthday, nan. love you. see you tomorrow, 9:00. welcome to "hannity" tonight, the cdc has confirmed that the first case of ebola has been diagnosed right here in the united states. john roberts is standing by at the cdc in atlanta with the breaks details tonight. >> certainly this case will raise a lot of questions as to whether the public health screenings procedures that are in place are stringent enough to prevent somebody from getting on an aircraft in one of the west african nations and ending up here in the united states. we know this is a liberian national who was coming to dallas, texas, to visit family here. he traveled out of the country on the 19th, arrived in the united states on the 20th. did not show symptoms of ebola until the 24th, which is good because public health officials
7:01 pm
say that if you are asymptomatic it's not likely that you can transmit the disease to someone else. but then he got sick on the 26th and went into the hospital. on the 28th he was admitted to the hospital and placed in strict isolation based on his symptoms and the fact that he'd traveled to africa. there was quite a period of time in there where he could have come into contact with people when he was very ill and may have transmitted the virus to them then. dr. tom frieden said he believes he can get a lid on this thing but that other people may indeed become sick. >> it is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual, a family member or other individual, could develop ebola in the coming weeks, but there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here. >> now, as far as screening people that this person may or may not have come in contact with, they're not recommending people on the aircraft get screened. it has been almost ten days since he flew on that flight. the incushionation period, eight to ten days, but the people he
7:02 pm
came in contact with here in the united states it's likely they'll be assessed and screened as necessary. >> john, thank you. we'll have more on this later in the program with dr. mark siegel. but now we turn to washington where the intelligence community is now striking back against president obama after being blamed for underestimming the threat posed by ice. new information about the security breach at the white house after lawmakers grilled the secret service director at a house hearing earlier today. fox's own ed henry standing by at the white house. he has the details on both these breaking stories. >> sean, good to see you. right, intelligence officials not happy about the fact that in that "60 minutes" interview sunday night the president suggested that james clapper and by extension the rest of the intelligence community had sort of screwed this up and had underestimated the threat from isis and overestimated the ability of the iraqi army to push back against these terrorists. that's why a scathing article in "the new york times" where
7:03 pm
senior intelligence officials basically said no, we were setting off alarm bells, putting off flares, the president, other officials were ignoring them. listen to my exchange with josh ernest. the white house just didn't pay attention to it. they were preoccupied with other crises, this was not a big priority. sounds a lot different what the intelligence community is saying and what this white house is saying. >> the leader of the intelligence community jim clapper, the director of national intelligence. today he put out a message that directly contradicts the anonymous individual who is quoted in "the new york times" today. >> james clapper saying in that note that, look, while they were aware of the threat from isis, they had no idea it was going to grow this rapidly. new information tonight, republican lindsey graham firing off a letter to the president demanding he turn over some of the details of his presidential daily brief. the intelligence information he's briefed on every morning. because you'll remember our own catherine herridge has been reporting that over a year ago this threat from isis was in the
7:04 pm
president's presidential daily brief, graham trying to say, look, if you're going to go on "60 minutes" saying the intelligence community failed here, you should turn over this intelligence to tell us what you were really being told. what was going on behind closed doors. i asked josh ernest about that, he said it is unlikely the president will turn that over because that's a highly classified document. >> a real convergence of issues here. the president under fire for saying we're not at war for isis. are we at war? the president also, the fbi won't rule what happened in oklahoma as an act of terror. then, of course, there was the analysis that obama spent more time playing golf than in these intelligence briefings and only went to 42% of the meetings in his term as president. >> what they pushed back on with that is they say, look, most of the time what the president does is he gets an electronic version of that presidential daily brief. so he's not skipping the meetings, technically, he's just not getting them face-to-face. the question is going to be moving forward as lindsey graham
7:05 pm
and others pursue that with that letter i mentioned, look, sure, can the president receive a paper copy or electronic copy of this classified information, yes, but is he missing something when he's skipping a one on one briefing or a two on two, he and the vice president and other intelligence officials where they maybe could ask questions. if you're just reading it electronically, you might be missing some of the nuance. >> you remember in catherine's report she said that the president was given for well over a year granular detail about the rise of isis yet no action was taken. then the issue that the president was warned repeatedly that chaos would ensue in iraq if they pulled out too early. you know washington better than i do. they might be leaking back as payback. >> they may be pushing back. and there's information in the public record, you don't even have to dig for anonymous information. we found a quote today from jay carney who when he was press secretary, almost a year ago, last halloween, october 31st.
7:06 pm
he sat right behind me at the podium because nuri al maliki was coming to the white house. we're aware of isil, it's a threat, they're growing. they could potentially launch attacks. this is jay carney almost a year ago talking about the threat of isil. he didn't just pop off at the podium. that was probably something in his briefing book, something in the intelligence community. in terps of what they knew a year ago, it's what they said publicly that they had some inkling of the threat. >> and one last point on this is past presidents usually would take the briefing and ask the people that presented it questions. the president has decided not to do that. >> sure. and jim woolsey, the former cia director said today on fox, back in the clinton administration he got frustrated because president clinton also liked to take a copy himself and not be briefed directly. woolsey thought, look, while clinton was digging deep on it himself and marking notations he said, to fox, he still wanted to have that back and forth. he said today, woolsey, the
7:07 pm
former cia director, president obama may have missed some nuance, may have missed some details by not having it briefed directly to him. >> the suspect in the oklahoma beheading has been formally charged with first degree murder and also faces two assault charges. now, fox's own casey steagall is on the ground in moore, oklahoma w the very latest. >> reporter: sean, good evening. tonight we have a clearer picture of the horrors that went on inside that food processing facility here in oklahoma last week. the district attorney said that the suspect had been in an altercation earlier in the day with his co-workers over race. that's when the co-workers allegedly turned him into human resources. when hr confronted 30-year-old alton nolen and suspended him for a few days, well, authorities say he was escorted off the property. he went home, got a knife and returned to exact revenge on the people he felt betrayed him.
7:08 pm
officials have backed off their official story that they had been turned in for trying to convert people to islam. however, listen this new bit of information that came out in a press conference earlier today. >> my understanding that he was using some arabic terms -- term during the attacks the and certainly that's one of the many reasons why the fbi is involved at this point in time. >> republican congressman frank wolf of virginia has now sent a letter to u.s. attorney general eric holder asking that this be investigated as an act of terrorism as opposed to workplace violence. the investigation ongoing, the fbi on the ground here in oklahoma. sean? >> and casey, thank you, but despite our entire nation being at war with radical islam, the fbi is refusing to call the brutal beheading what it is, an act of terror. instead they're labeling this workplace violence. there's minimal coverage of the beheading in the mainstream
7:09 pm
media, the president has yet to address it publicly. so the question remains why was the government so quick to jump into the ferguson case after the shooting death of michael brown but m.i.a. when it comes to an act of terror by a radical islamist here on american soil? is this yet another example of the administration's failure to recognize the rise of radical islam? lieutenant colonel ralph peters. colonel, the president only attending 42% of his intelligence briefings. he spends more time playing golf than at his intel briefings. and now we're hearing that he missed the entire rise of isis even though he was warned about it repeatedly and he was warned repeatedly what would happen in iraq if he pulled out. is this the intel community fighting back? >> yes, but come on, sean, his golf game has really improved in office. >> got to give him credit. >> what you heard from jim woolsey and you hear from others and i can tell you from my own career in intelligence there's nothing like a face-to-face
7:10 pm
briefing because you can really make eye contact whether a president or general, congressman, make that eye contact, you can really stress what's important. you can read them. you can tell when you're losing them. they can ask questions. not only doesn't obama ask questions, which is vital, but he just doesn't seem interested. and trying to blame -- to lay the blame for his inattention, for his disinterest on the intel community made a lot of people very, very angry because the intelligence community isn't perfect but i will tell you it is vastly better than when i left it in the 1990s. war made us better. we've got some incredibly skilled intelligence personnel working. i can also tell you that starting with mike flynn can the former head of dia who was basically crowded out because he was telling the trut to congress about isis and trying to tell the president, starting with him
7:11 pm
on down, there were a lot of people in the intelligence community who have been concerned about this group and other groups for two and more years and they couldn't make progress with the white house. the white house didn't want the hear it. >> the president was provided, we're told, granular detail for over a year. and then when all the cities that 4,000 americans fought, blood and died for, he didn't lift a finger. he was warned about the rise of isis, he didn't lift a finger. the beheading in oklahoma is not an act of terror. it's workplace violence and we're not at war with isis, we're just dropping bombs on them. there's something radically wrong here. you know, workplace violation, overseas contingencies, there's almost a missing chip. what is it? >> when the president says he's not at war with isis, he's telling the truth. because the pinprick pop gun air strikes we're doing are for political purposes. that's political cover for obama.
7:12 pm
we've been hitting empty buildings, hitting individual vehicles and armered personnel carrier here, pickup truck there, very exnsive way to trach them out, by the way, with precision weapons. but my contact within the chain of command, people involved in this operation are furious that obama's put incredible targeting restrictions on them. doesn't want any civilian casualties. this is war, dude. civilians die. they're going to die. you minimalize the casualties, people die. he's uneasy with racking up the body count. but this president is perfectly comfortable sending troops to deal with ebola. >> the president said it's not a state. they have more territory than many countries. he says they don't have a vision. their vision is a caliphate. we're not at war with them. we're dropping bombs on them. we're at war with the islamic state but it's not islamic. tell me and i'll feel better about the state of our country. i see isis growing in syria,
7:13 pm
land mass, they're growing in number, attracting every nut case around to them. they're growing in iraq. now we see the rise of radicalism in libya, africa and the continent of africa. why anything other than we are next on the list after they continue to grow? >> well, if you live in a dream world as the president does, you can believe that. but sean, something else that people are missing. in addition to these ridiculous targeting restrictions, is that in these tiny air strike, 200 in almost two months. in a serious air campaign that's one or two days of air strikes. you're also missing the fact that by going so lightly, by not really hitting isis with all we've got, the president is allowing isis to say, see, we can take everything americans can dish out. we're standing up to the americans and they can't defeat us. and that is a great recruiting tool. what i predict is that, unless we get serious, unless we really go to war with isis, this group is going to get stronger and
7:14 pm
stronger. there will be rival groups rise up. >> it's coming here. >> although we've done a good job fighting the kurds -- having the kurds fight isis in iraq, they're now attacking -- >> they're a mile and a half away from baghdad and the kurds are now saying that it's nowhere near enough to do -- to have any major impact. >> and the kurds are right. we've repped the iraqi kurds. we did protect the yazidis and other minorities. that's worth doing. but if you talk about degrade and destroying isis like the president has, you got to wallop those suckers. another iraqi base just fell near baghdad. they're within a mile and a half of the turkish border and president obama just wants the problem to go away. >> it is not going to go away. >> no, it's not. >> thank you, colonel. appreciate it. ebola is in the united states. we'll have more on that tonight. benjamin netanyahu delivered a
7:15 pm
strong speech at the u.n. including explaining how hamas is linked to isis. how does his leadership style compare to our commander in chief? that and coming up next john mccain and former connecticut senator joe lieberman are here to weigh in on all of this. i ha. i took nyquil but i'm still stuffed up. nyquil cold and flu liquid gels don't unstuff your nose.
7:16 pm
really? alka-seltzer plus night rushes relief to eight symptoms of a full blown cold including your stuffy nose. (breath of relief) oh, what a relief it is. thanks. anytime. 58 seconds on the clock, what am i thinking about? foreign markets. asian debt that recognizes the shift in the global economy. you know, the kind that capitalizes on diversity across the credit spectrum and gets exposure to frontier and emerging markets. if you convert 4-quarter p/e of the s&p 500, its yield is doing a lot better... if you've had to become your own investment expert, maybe it's time for bny mellon, a different kind of wealth manager ...and black swans are unpredictable.
7:17 pm
trying to mislead you about the effects of proposition 46. well here's the truth: 46 will save lives. it will save money too. i'm bob pack, and i'm fighting for prop 46 because i lost my two children to preventable medical errors and i don't want anyone else to lose theirs. the three provisions in 46 will reduce medical errors and protect patients. save money and save lives. yes on 46. ♪ i'll stop the world and melt with you ♪ >> welcome back to "hannity."
7:18 pm
the president's vent refusal to take any blame for the isis threat is just one example of him leading from behind. when it comes to being a leader, the commander in chief could learn a thing or two from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> are you saying this is not really a war? >> what i'm saying is that we are assisting iraq in a very real battle. >> isis must be defeated. but to defeat isis and leave iran as a threshold nuclear power is to win the battle and lose the war. >> rather than play whack a mole and send u.s. troops wherever this occurs, we have to build strong partnerships. >> when militant islam succeeds anywhere, it's emboldened everywhere. when it suffers a blow in one place, it's set back in every place. >> if we make the mistake of simply sending u.s. troops back in, we can maintain peace for a
7:19 pm
while. >> once iran producing atomic bombs, all the charms and all the smiles will suddenly disappear. and it's then that the ayatollahs will show their true face and unleash their aggressive fanaticism on the entire world. >> winston churchill, obama neville chamberlain. joining me joe lieberman who is now an advisory board member for the counterextremism project. thank you both -- by the way, now that i have you both here. truth be told in 2008, senator mccain, did you consider this man as a potential vp choice? >> oh, absolutely. absolutely. and i would -- listen, i'm grateful for sarah palin, but i'm also grateful for joe lieberman and the wonderful work
7:20 pm
he's done for this country and i consider him one of the finest men i've ever known. >> listen, i tried to say once i was his friend and nearly got him defeated in connecticut. >> unlike you, sean, in connecticut, when john says he's my friend, it used to help me. >> exactly. >> this is our first time on television together. >> is that true? >> john and me. we talk to each other all the time. first time on television together since i left the senate. i don't know if it's like simon and garfunkel getting together again. >> let me ask you, senator lieberman, no shock and awe, no boots on the ground, we're not at war with isis, the islamic state is not islamic. he was warned for a year about isis. misses his briefings for 60-some percent of the time. what do you make of this? >> the statement you're just citing, sean, are to me are really disappointing because they come after a really pretty good strong speech by president obama at the united nations in which he took some positions that he had not taken for the
7:21 pm
previous years, recognizing the broader threat of militant islam, violence islam coming from the muslim community finally doing what john and i had been asking him to do for three years which is to give weapons to the syrian opposition to fight a butcher, assad in damascus. and talking about cutting off funding for the terrorist groups and developing social media to try to convince young muslims not join them, which is what this counterextremism project that i'm involved with is going to do now. so when he goes on the air and does a "60 minutes" interview and some of the others and says some of the things you cite, it undercuts that. and we are at war. he himself said, this is going to last beyond -- >> why can't he say it? >> i don't know. >> maybe he's concerned legalisticcally if he says we're in a war, then that congress has to authorize whatever he does. but you got to tell it as it is. and it is a war.
7:22 pm
>> he misses 60% of his intelligence briefings, plays for golf than he sits in these meetings. he's warned for over a year about isis, warned about the consequences of leaving iraq. he did nothing as city after city fell. we lost 4,000 americans senator mccain. those families have to be asking why tonight. >> joe lieberman and i were in fallujah and ramadi where hundreds of americans were killed and wounded, the black flags of isis fly over those cities today. it's hard to talk to the parents of those families and those brave veterans that literally put everything on the line. but let me just say, it's a bigger problem here with this president. the dog ate my homework routine is getting a little tiresome. it started for six years with biob, blame it on bush. now the jv has turned into more than -- has been turned into super bowl contestants. he does not -- fails to realize
7:23 pm
that it is his policies and decisions that led us where we are. when ryan crocker yesterday, most respected diplomat that i know of, said, yes, we could have left a stabilizing force behind, these brave americans had stabilized the situation in iraq. isis was nothing when the president of the united states announced that we were going to withdraw everybody from iraq. and by the way, if he does what he says he's going to do in afghanistan, you'll see the same movie. that is just disgraceful. >> let me ask you both this question because i think both of you recognize, senator lieberman, i know you recognize that isis is islamic. >> right. >> i know you understand that we're at war with isis right now. i know you understand that a president ought to be reading his intelligence briefings every day. i know that you understand what happened in oklahoma and what happened at ft. hood was not workplace violence but this was
7:24 pm
terror. >> terrorism, right. >> i ask ed -- i want you becaue you have far more credibility with the white house than i do. advise this president. give him your best counsel. >> well, i don't know why these games really. i spent a lot of time what happened at ft. hood with major hasan, shouted allahu akbar then killed americans. and wounded a bunch of others. do you know of any time in recent memory when there's been a murder in the united states and the murderer has cut off the head of the victim? >> no. >> three days after the leader of isis called for lone wolfs to do it. >> and it's not just coincidental, as we know. this is an individual who obviously had turned toward violent islam by his own social media. >> what's the answer? >> the answer is we have to keep shouting out. >> go war.
7:25 pm
>> if we're going to go to war, should we win it? >> that's the only way to go to war. that's why i say i'm so disappointed because the president in the address to the united nations seemed to be turning in the right direction. now it seems to be two steps forward one step back or maybe one step forward and two steps back. >> i believe we won that war, but the intelligence and the training and troops on the ground for the iraqi forces. i cannot in good conscience ever support a war if we don't plan to win it and maintain the victory. what's your advice to the president? >> my advice is -- and i agree with ralph peters. these are minimal strikes, minimal action. we're asking 5,000 young syrians to go back into the fight yet not protect them against bashar assad's barrel bombs. we warned isis days ahead of time so the buildings were empty. i promise you, we'll have to
7:26 pm
have boots on the ground. that does not mean units, it means air controllers, special forces even in syria if we're going to prevail over isis. the way these air strikes are being conducted reminds me of a war a long time ago and far away, my friend, called the vietnam war when gradual lation lose it. >> gh ood to see you both. the head of the secret service took a lot of heat from laurps today on capitol hill after news broke yesterday that the white house intruder made it much farther into the people's house than the agency originally revealed. and ebola is here in america. we have a report with a medical team straight ahead.

7:29 pm
omar gonzalez, a former member of the u.s. army who reportedly suffering from ptsd. he's been homeless now for some time. now according to reports, we now know that on september 19th, gonzalez was carrying a knife, was able to hop the white house fence and jog across the lawn, walk into an unlocked front door of the executive mansion. look at this. pass a female member of the secret service, walk into the east room and shortly after exiting back out of the east room, well then gonzalez was apprehended by an off-duty guard. earlier today secret service director julia pierson testified before congress in a very tense oversight committee hearing. let's take a look at it. >> i wish to god you -- you protected the white house like you're protecting your reputation here today. >> how much would it cost to lock the front door of the white house? >> this is just processing a crime scene, director. this is not high math. it is processing a crime scene. you actually don't need 18 weeks of training to be able to do
7:30 pm
that. you just need to be able to walk around. >> director pierson, let me be frank, i believe that you have done a disservice to the president of the united states. >> joining me now with reaction is fox news legal analyst peter johnson jr., nationally syndicated radio talk show host dennis prager is with us and our friend tamara holder is here. peter johnson jr., we have got to protect our president. >> at all cost and any cost. director pierson should resign today. i don't understand why she has not resigned as a matter of honor and duty and service to this country. she's got to go. we need to protect our president. >> this is ridiculous. i mean -- >> what part? >> sure, the fact that you would say that she has to resign, this is a typical right-wing kind of attack. >> peter's a democrat. did you know that? >> right, right. i understand. >> nonpartisan.
7:31 pm
>> she should resign when we really have to look at the bottom up starting with this man who you said has alleged depression when we have -- >> it's not even about this man. >> don't put your hand up to me, sean. let me tell you we have 2.3 million people who come back from iraq or afghanistan since 9/11, 300,000 of them have depression and we're not treating them. >> we're getting close to delusional. >> what? >> in the obama administration, the words "i take full responsibility" means i will not leave nor will anyone else. it is sort of orwellian talk and it needed to be translated. >> first of all, if you look at the president throwing, you know, our intelligence agencies down the stairs, i think the president needs ra roger goodell moment where he can say the words "i was wrong. i take responsibility." but let me put this aside because this was not the first incident. the secret service it took them days to determine that a gun had been fired at the white house in 2011 literally striking the building at least seven times

health care so they can go to the hospital and get treated, something that people didn't believe in equal access for everyone. >> that is not true. it was illegal to send somebody away from a hospital before obama care ever got on the scene. by the i wa, we spend $2 billion on a website that still doesn't work right. >> reading the credible article in business week talking about how the z-mapp drug was mishandled. >> blame the federal government. >> unfortunately, yes. >> i'll tell you i just want to add, if we're talking about africa, which i have been to 20 african countries, i have a particular passion for africa, i just came back from west africa a couple of months ago plus some of the countries affected. the tragedy of africa is government corruption. this is nothing to do with politics, this is not republican or democrat. and if they don't have the ability to treat their people, it is not for lack of resources. it is not for a lack of talented people. their doctors go to europe because there is so much
