martinet. there it is. guy called general patton a martinet. ms. megyn is next. i'm bill o'reilly. please remember the spin here cause we're definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight, a huge shift in sentiment regarding the war on isis with the majority of respondents in a new fox poll saying they would support sending ground troops into this fight. welcome to "the kelly file," everyone. i'm megyn kelly. a majority of americans believes the air strikes we're conducting in iraq and syria will not be enough. 78% say they do support our current air campaign. but some 57% also say ground troops will be needed to win. and 52% of the american public now favors sending in ground troops, something the president has said repeatedly he will not do if the air strikes fail to get the job done. moments ago i spoke with charles

krauthammer, a syndicated columnist, fox news contributor and author of the best-selling book "things that matter" which has now sold more than a million copies. charles, that's the question. just to go through it, you've got 55% of the american people saying he has not been aggressive enough. 64% saying we have no strategy. and now the biggest number, 52%, the most critical saying they now favor ground troops in this conflict. so are ground troops coming? >> no, i don't think so. i would trust every other one of those numbers in the polls. i think americans are exactly right. air power will not be enough. obama does not have the strategy. i think three-quarters of americans in the poll think obama has not been tough enough with muslim extremism. ohm won't even call it by its name. but when it comes to ground troops and support for that is a

very afemoral number. that's a number before anybody's committed to the ground. that is a number when america has not yet sustained so much as a sprained ankle in this campaign. if we start to put ground troops in syria and iraq and casualties start to mount, that number will turn around very rapidly. in part, it's because i don't think people have faith that the president is willing to carry through the policy as we see in the numbers. they don't think he has a strategy. so i would be very wary about relying on that number of support for ground troops now. this is very pristine conditions now. that can change overnight. >> if we go forward and continue to hear reports that the air strikes are not doing that much as we have heard from some corners, and baghdad falls into

greater peril, do you think the president will re-evaluate the ground troop strategy notwithstanding the polls? >> yes, i think so. but in those conditions. i'm not sure we'll arrive there. for one thing, i don't think iran which has now made iraq in part a -- state and directs a lot of what iran does. i don't think iran is going to allow baghdad to fall. it's not that easy whereas baghdad before the u.s. invasion in 2003 was fairly evenly split between shiite and sunni. of course shiite was majority. as a result of the last ten years it is overwhelmingly shiite, which means it would be hostile territory for isis. they may get near, they may even attack the green zone. i think there might even be an offensive like suicide attacks, very bloody, dramatic, tell generalic attacks on the green zone, perhaps even the u.s. embassy. but to take and hold baghdad

would be something different. that would trigger u.s. ground troops, but i don't think we would get there. i think the president's current strategy will be able to contain isis, use some of the ground allies we have, the kurds, some of the iraqi army, perhaps sunni tribes in iraq. but will not be able to do very much about the isis headquarters in syria because there we have essentially no allies on the grou ground. >> what do you make of you mentioned the polling on how they feel, the american public, feels about the president's handling of radical muslim extremis extremists. let's put it on the board. 74% believe he's not tough enough on radical muslim extremists. 74%. and that includes 60, six zero percent of democrats overwhelmingly they think he's been too soft on this issue. >> and they're right about that.

just look at the lathest appalling example. the beheading of an american in oklahoma. shouting muslim slogans. a guy who had sort of al qaeda elements all over his website. and the fbi comes in, the federal government says we see no evidence of terrorism here. what in god's name are they talking about? this is obviously a terror attack. they're calling it workplace violence. like colonel -- captain assad who shot 13 americans about three or four years ago also workplace violence. obama will not even call this by its name. in the speech he gave at the u.n. just a week ago he used the phrase three times, violent extremi extremism, which is an empty phrase with no content and meaningless. even -- for god sake the islamic state isis itself calls itself

the islamic state. but obama won't because of what you showed earlier in the show, obama saying i grew up in muslim -- i can speak to them. i will change the relationship with the world. >> let me show that here. let me show that right here so the audience can hear what you and i heard prior to air. listen. >> well, i truly believe that the day i'm inaugurated, not only does the country look at itself differently, but the world looks at america differently. if i'm reaching out to the muslim world, they understand that i've lived in a muslim country and i may be a christian, but i also understand their point of view. and then i think that the world will have confidence that i am listening to them and the world. that will ultimately make us safer. >> go ahead, charles. >> i mean, that is preposterous. that is a toxic combination of naivete on the one hand and grandiosity on the other. he went around the beginning of

his presidency to cairo, istanbul, all over the place offering an open hand, understanding. he even said we're going to finally respect the muslim world as if the u.s. has not respected it in the past. and then he would somehow by this sort of, you know, accommodation would strengthen our hand in the muslim world. everywhere you look in the muslim world, from the boko haram terrorists in nigeria, al shabaab attacks in kenya and somalia to what's happening with isis to what's happening in libya where obama goes in and leaves, leaves nothing behind where the terrorists are now frolicking in the u.s. embassy pool. everywhere you look you have got a deterioration of the u.s. position. obama shows weakness. obama chose withdrawal. obama chose decline thinking it would appease our enemies. it's of course always the precisely opposite effect.

>> charles krauthammer, thank you, sir. >> you're very welcome. well, the mosque where this oklahoma beheading suspect had worshipped has refused to speak to "the kelly file." but in moments we will be joined by someone who says he also worshipped there. we are protecting his identity. and when you hear what he has to say about this mosque, you will understand why. if you watch nothing else tonight, watch this segment. plus, with breaking news reports of mortars landing inside baghdad tonight, fears are growing about what happens to the christians if isis gets inside this city. tony perkins and general jack keane are here next. >> because i said to one of my soldiers today, if -- were coming towards you, what would you do? be ♪ want to change the world?

create things that help people. design safer cars. faster computers. smarter grids and smarter phones. think up new ways to produce energy. ♪ be an engineer. solve problems the world needs solved. what are you waiting for? changing the world is part of the job description. [ male announcer ] join the scientists and engineers of exxonmobil in inspiring america's future engineers. energy lives here. helps you find a whole range andof coverages.ur price" tool no one else gives you options like that. [voice echoing] no one at all!

no one at all! no one. wake up! [gasp] oh! you okay, buddy? i just had a dream that progressive had this thing called... the "name your price" tool... it isn't a dream, is it? nope. sorry! you know that thing freaks me out. he can hear you. he didn't mean that, kevin. kevin: yes, he did! keeping our competitors up at night. now, that's progressive.

new details on the terror army known as isis and its march to baghdad. there are reports of mortar rounds landing inside the city. but we have not yet independently confirmed those. a number of media outlets on the scene are saying the islamic state terrorists are no more than five to eight miles from the gates of iraq's capital. yesterday at this time i spoke with the vicker who are protecting him and continue to fight against isis, does he have faith in them. >> i said to one of my soldiers today, if isis were coming towards you, what would you do? be scared or take off my uniform. why are you a soldier. what are you doing? aren't you protecting us?

he said no -- >> joining me now tony perkins. he reached out to us and general jack keane chairman for the institute of the study of war. i'm going to start tonight with tony. tony, thank you for being here. he's sounding the alarm bells from inside baghdad. he started on his facebook page and then he came on "the kelly file" last night to expand on his fears. what if anything should we be doing about this? >> well, megyn, unfortunately he began sounding the alarm seven years ago. nobody's really been listening. and america's about as reliable at this point under this administration as iraqi soldiers. but there is something that can be done because we don't want to see a repeat of the blood bath we've seen in other parts of iraq. the united nations could establish a security corridor that would allow the christians to escape baghdad to the south into kuwait.

that's about the only place they could go. there is a way, the question is is there an international will to do that? >> do you believe that what's happening right now to the christians inside of iraq amounts to a genocide? >> there's no question about it. congressman frank wolf has raised that issue numerous times. they're systematically being murdered, they're being slaughtered. the few christians that are left. remember there was about 1.5 million before the u.s. invaded in 2003. they're down to maybe 250,000. who knows how many have been murdered. we may never know. but the reports will continue if we don't do something. now, i believe charles is right. it's questionable whether or not they go into baghdad, but can we risk it? can we risk more innocent women and children being beheaded, crucified, raped and sold into slavery when we can do something about it. but this administration has not found the will to do something for christians. >> after the holocaust if you go to any concentration camp you'll see the signs out there that say

never forget in several different languages. and a quote saying those who cannot remember the history are forever condemned to repeat it. genocide is happening at the hands of isis. it's not just christians. they are indeed a target inside baghdad and inside of iraq tonight and they're waiting there, sitting there like sitting ducks, tony. the question is whether the international community needs to be doing more to actively get them out. i understand the coalition, the bombing, but something to act e actively get them out. >> they have to, megyn, this is not going to work with just dropping bombs. over the weekend when he had the dinner honoring meriam ibrahim, i spoke with a number of organizations, individuals, that just came back from that region of the country. they said the same thing that the canon said last night. maybe 20% are actually hitting a target. this is much like the wildfires we fight in the west. the assets in the air are great, but in order to contain and stop

these wildfires, you have got to put firefighters on the ground. the same is true for stopping this spread of radical militant islamic army. you're going to have to put boots on the ground. there's no way around it. >> just a little color for you, catholic.org reported there was n in one area of northern iraq for the first time in 2,000 years. they reported that on monday. no holy communion for the first time in 2,000 years. that's the scope of what isis has achieved in iraq. and yet, tony, the administration hasn't intervened. they've been bombing iraq. they've been bombing syria. they offered humanitarian assistance when the yazidis were up on the mountain. they have not been silent. they haven't been idle. they've done some things. but this is a complex problem. >> they have not done nearly enough. we have not done what we can do. as you mentioned the humanitarian effort there is still folks that are suffering in the northern part. and the humanitarian -- the

mass -- the size of the humanitarian crisis is yet to be seen. america should pull together the international community so the united nations and work to allow these christians to escape before they're murdered by isis. >> he sounded like a sitting duck when he talked to us last night. tony, thank you for being here. we'll check back in with canon white tomorrow night. general jack keane, former vice chief of staff of the army joins me now. general, is it possible? i mean, i realize activity is increasing around baghdad or outside of baghdad. is it possible that these terrorists could seize baghdad? >> no. it's highly unlikely. they don't have the combat power to seize a city of that magnitude. and there's thousands of shia. >> backed by iran. that's what charles was saying iran will not let baghdad fall. >> regardless of the performance of the iraqi army. some of the iraqi army will fight, some will run just like the vicker thinks.

they did this for a year before they conducted a conventional attack against mosul. >> we saw how that ended. >> but to sustain mortar attacks, to sustain ied attacks takes infrastructure to do that. i don't think they can keep that up for very long. but nonetheless anything dealing with the green zone psychologically -- >> the green zone is where our embassy is. >> the government of iraq. >> the government of iraq is. >> some other embassies are there. a fairly large area quite frankly. reaching with a mortar is not all that difficult. they can i think put together a demonstration attack that would move in at night and early in the morning, run against the green zone with vehicle-born ieds, mortars and ground assault. most of those people would be killed. >> what should we be doing, john? they're six miles outside of the capital city where the vicker is sitting saying they're getting ready to cut and run.

>> that's not a sizable force. the fact of the matter to deal with something in baghdad from a military perspective where they could seize something and force the government to topple, that would take a significant force. that capability is not there. no one looking at this believes that isis can seize baghdad. but listen, they can cause lots of trouble. the thing that has not happened, megyn, that we want to have happen, is the air campaign. what we want to do with the air campaign is take isis' freedom of movement away and take their initiative away for them to be able to attack at will. they're attacking in three different places right now around baghdad. and they're attacking in two different places in syria. so obviously the air campaign, while it's progressing, has not accomplished what it's intended to do. >> we heard the canon talking about that as well. he believes some civilians have been hit by air strikes. he doesn't see them taking out the bad guys. why would that be? >> well, the fact of the matter is if you're talking to central command, who's overseeing the

prosecution of the war, they believe the rules of engagement are too restrictive. and therefore they're not able to go against some of the targets that they believe they can hit. >> we're trying to prevent civilian casualties. >> but we're being overly constrictive and overly controlling about that. that's principally coming out of the white house generated to the pentagon as a general policy. and then they put that into what they can hit and what they can't hit. >> do you believe tony's suggestion is possible? is there any sort of escape route that we can establish to get the folks in danger out? >> well, yes. if we wanted to do that, we would do that. but the u.n.'s not going to do that. >> the u.n. -- you know you're in trouble when you're looking to them for help. >> if the united states wanted to conduct a humanitarian relief operation to move people to kuwait, if that's what they truly wanted to do, certainly we could do that. >> kuwait is no grand place either. they also persecute christians there, but it's nothing like what we see with isis. general, good to see you. >> good to talk to you, megyn. coming up, oklahoma

beheading suspect jah'keem yisreal worked at a mosque that refused to speak to "the kelly file." why is that? in moments you'll hear from someone who says he also worships there and why he says he had to leave. don't miss this. plus, break k news on the grand jury investigating the police shooting of miebl brown in ferguson. someone may have broken the rules in a very big way. up next, the u.s. marine jailed for months in a mexican prison may soon see his best chance to walk free. the new twist in the case when we return. >> april 5th, mom, i'm not going to make it through the night. whatever youo to not come down here to investigate, do not come down here to ask questions. you will be killed as well.

breaking tonight, the st. louis county prosecutor's office is investigating an allegation of misconduct by the grand jury. a man shot and killed 18-year-old michael brown back in august, a grand juror hearing the evidence may have discussed the case with a friend, which of course is forbidden. a person who claims to be friends with the member of the grand jury tweeted out "i know someone sitting on the grand jury, there isn't enough at this point to warrant an arrest." we've reached out to the prosecutor's office for comment. we have yet to hear back. also developing tonight, the mother of a u.s. marine jailed for months in mexico now going directly to the u.s. government to plead for her son's freedom. watch. >> 2014, mom, i've been arrested. please secure me an attorney. april 5th, mom, i'm not going to

make it through the night. april 14th. mom, i tried to kill myself. these quotes, horrific and varying degrees for a mother pail in comparison to the statement my trip to mexico have been far worse than my four tours in afghanistan. >> trace. >> megyn, critics point out the president is fond of using a phone and pen, but the white house now confirms despite being asked to do so, president obama has now placed a call to mexican leaders on behalf of jailed marine andrew tamarisi. instead the white house passed the buck. but in a hearing on capitol hill, gop lawmakers made it clear they are looking for executive action. listen. >> a low bar to set for the commander in chief, a commander in chief that should go, should go, to hell and back for one of

their men or women. >> so i would say, mr. president, we have a man down. pick up the phone and do your job. >> even democratic house members acknowledge it's time to make a political push for sergeant tamarisi's release. diplomats are engaged but that mexican due process has to be respected. his mother says the due process has taken too long and has taken its toll on her son who suffers from ptsd. >> my son is december pont without treatment and needs to be home. >> he was thrown in a mexican jail six months ago for mistakenly crossing into the country carrying guns. after several hearings and rulings, a new mexican federal prosecutor now seems more cooperative. the prosecutor's own psychiatrist says not only does tamarisi have ptsd, but he wants him treated in the united states. legal experts say that will likely pave the way for him to

be released in a matter of weeks unless of course a phone call is made before that. megyn. >> trace, thank you. in moments we will hear from someone who once attended the very same mosque as the oklahoma beheading suspect. the mosque will not speak to "the kelly file," but this man has come forward. up next, we will tell you why he wants to remain anonymous. and we will have new details in the case against the suspect. don't miss this. >> my understanding that he was using some arabic terms during the attacks.

all around the world the dedicated people of united airlines ♪ are there to support you. ♪ that's got your back friendly. ♪ prosecutors say they are planning to seek the death penalty in the case of an oklahoma man accused in the first beheading on american soil of -- by someone who had apparently self-radicalized. the decision made after the d.a. met with the victim's family and

shortly after alton nolen also known as jah'keem yisreal -- accused of beheading a co-worker and attempting to behead another woman. he asked the judge if he could be represented by a muslim attorney. the judge's response, we'll see. the fbi is currently investigating last thursday's attack which follows a series of high profile beheadings of course by the terror group isis. in public the mosque yisreal worshipped at denounced his actions. but the mosque has also refused to speak with "the kelly file" after initially agreeing to an interview. watch this. >> it seems that we're getting the runaround. >> it is not a runaround. we're not doing any interviews. we're not speaking to anyone. we're stopping all media interviews. we're stopping everything now. >> now, with respect sir, you told me not ten minutes ago that i could speak to someone tomorrow morning. and that representative from cair just called me back and said no. >> yep. we're all saying no.

everyone media-wise will have to leave. if not i'll have to call the authorities. >> tonight, new information about this mosque from a man who says he attended prayers there. we are protecting his identity at his request and for the interview's purposes we will call him nor. so you attended this mosque, the very same mosque where alton himself, yisreal, attended. and what did you observe? >> i observed the teachings of islam. it took two years to learn what i know about islam today. to the public, the mosque will not promote terrorism or any kind of radical acts. but when they're among friends and con gre gats, only, they will promote the teachings of islam which include the offer to nonmuslims the choice rather that you must convert, live

under islamic rule or be fought against. jihad -- for the sake of allah. >> so behind closed doors you felt the mosque was much more radicalized than they led on to the general public. let me tell you what they say now. they have come out in response to this beheading and condemned it. they say that their hearts and prayers go out to the victims. and they have expressed condemnation of his behavior and said he does not stand for islam. >> they'll say that to any media presence. however, when i was attending the mosque, i was specifically told for example concerning suicide bombings in israel that we do support these acts because as it was told to me this is the only weapon the palestinians have, but do not mention this to the media because they would not understand. >> i understand you had another incident where you were with two people from the mosque and there was a discussion about what they would do if osama bin laden

himself showed up at their house. what happened? >> that's correct. i had two friends at the mosque, one is now an imam. both of them at the time attended the islamic society of greater oklahoma city. i'm unaware of -- is now. the last i heard he was in houston or cairo. because i know he along with webb both studied at university in cairo. both of the subjects, the men, told me that if osama bin laden came to their door, they would invite him in and protect him because he was a brother muslim and we must protect him from those that don't believe. >> did they ever discuss the subject of beheadings? was that ever discussed? >> the only time beheadings were discussed was in the means of which you confront the infidel

as it is related to in the quran that when you meet the unbelievers you should smite at their necks. >> that was a quote actually on this defendant's facebook page which we saw ourselves. now, did they talk publicly -- i mean privately behind closed doors the need to act differently in front of media. you made reference to that. >> absolutely. there's a teaching in islam which is deception. muhammad, the prophet of islam, even said that war is deception. and the reason that they are so deceptive is that when they cannot do jihad physically, they attempt to do jihad by means of stealth. by endearing themselves to the media, endearing themselves to government, endearing themselves to the american people to slowly work their way in, but they all believe in their religion which

teaches that according to -- that when you approach the nonbelievers you must offer them the choice to convert, to live under islamic rule and pay the poll tax and live in submission, or you will be fought against, which is what you see now with isis and al qaeda and various other groups throughout the world. >> but clearly this can't be true of everyone who attends this mosque. they can't all be this radical. >> absolutely. not everyone -- as ayyan said herself, a muslim will choose how much they wish to practice. however, the people that told me -- the person that told me rather about the concept of jihad and the choices must be offered to nonmuslims was imam sohed web. >> he is the old imam?

>> yes. he is in boston. >> where the tsarnaev brothers were going, the elder. >> that's correct. >> this is a picture of him on the screen. he specifically was a teacher there to you, an imam there to you? what specifically did he say? >> he is the one that told me to not talk to the media about suicide bombings in palestine or israel. and he's the one that first told me about the concept of jihad, the teaching of islam allows three choices to be made to nonmuslims. and eventually they're all going to have to make that choice, to convert, to live under islamic rule or die. >> i understand there was a time when you were invited to fire weapons north of oklahoma city by somebody you met at the mosque. what happened there? >> that's correct. the two individuals i was with were both fellow converts. one of them was from what i'd been told a jewish convert to

islam. the other one was either in the military at the time or had just gotten out of the military. they invited me to go shoot weapons. now, i'm from oklahoma, i have no issues with guns. so i just figured it would be a fun time with friends. however, when we got up there and we put out the targets he said, well, this target is going to be george w. bush, this target is going to be sharone and i don't remember what the other ones were. but they were famous people that were considered enemies to the faith. >> i know you left the mosque because you felt it was too radical. and you've been back from time to time in more recent years. when was the most recent time? >> the last time i was in the mosque was some time in 20 -- 2011. >> did you hear the same sort of discussions as you've been referencing? >> absolutely. the reason i was back in there was at the request of law

enforcement. i can't say anymore than that. >> really? >> however, i was in there and the current imam who is a friend of mine, he was preaching a sermon that the israelis were trying to collapse -- in jerusalem by digging tunnels underneath it. and at the end of the sermon they prayed for the holy warriors in palestine, kaz mir and in iraq who we all know is being fought in iraq by the -- the united states. >> as i've been telling the audience we've been trying to get comments on the record from this mosque. so far we've been unsuccessful. but we will try again to get a response to noor's comments tonight. thank you very much for being with us tonight. >> thank you. so you just heard from noor. let us know your thoughts during the break at facebook.com/t

. from the world headquarters of fox news, it's "the kelly file" with megyn kelly. moments ago you saw here i spoke with someone who said he attended the very same mosque as the oklahoma beheading suspect jah'keem yisreal. we're joined by a former frl prosecutor with extensive experience with islamic issues and extremism. he's now a national review contributing editor. he put the blind sheik in jail. he's the prosecutor who did it. now, did that ring true to you? >> absolutely. it's exactly the sort of thing we proved in court. i guess it's now 20 years ago. but mosques were used to store weapons, transfer weapons, have conspirator yal conversations in sight, recruit, you name it. every aspect of what you would need to have a terrorist faction, the mosque was the center. >> but it's hard to believe this is happening, you know, at every

mosque. you will concede, and i know you've been very critical of radical islam, but you will concede there are many peace loving muslims in the world, right? >> it's not every mosque. but it's a lot more mosques than you'd be comfortable thinking, number one. and number two, you know, there's a big divide between the doctrine and the mosque. and i also found in my experience there's a big divide dween between the rank and file muslim-american who i think by and large tends to be pro-western and love this country just like we do. and the leadership of the mosques and islamic community center -- again, we're overgeneralizing, but they tend to be much more influenced by overseas elements and much more radical i think than the rank and file. and another thing is mosque attendance is not particularly high among rank and file. so the fact that we find disturbing things in the mosque

doesn't necessarily mean that it projects over the entire american-muslim community. but it's disturbing. >> can you speak to what he was saying about how the public face is very different. you know, when they come on tv and discuss their facilities and so on, what they do, it's very different according to him than what they say behind closed doors. >> he's absolutely spot-on accurate about that. the blind sheik, for example, after the world trade center was bombed in 1993, went on television and said how could we be responsible for a bombing. we live in america. we've made a truce with america. this is where we live. and then of course go back to the mosque when the people he was concerned about weren't listening in and he would incite and try to push them to do more. and he'd try to get to the bottom of what informants might have given up the guys who had been arrested. >> unbelievable. i want to get to a column you wrote this week talking about the president's use of the term khorasan to discuss the group that we bombed. in addition to bombing isis we bombed this group he's calling khorasan. people said who? who did we bomb?

and you say don't believe a word. we bombed al qaeda. >> right. it is al qaeda. khorasan is nothing more -- if it's even this, it was an advisory group around the leadership of al qaeda. and it has some heavy duty -- >> why not just call it al qaeda? >> that's exactly right. they should call it al qaeda. if you call it al qaeda and you're the president who went around three dozen times saying you've already defeated al qaeda, that's problematic. so what they basically do is they assign a bunch of different names. some al qaeda's come up with themselves. some we've imposed like core al qaeda, that's the obama administration. al qaeda doesn't call itself core al qaeda. and what they do is they miniaturize the enemy and miniaturize the threat by saying it's a bunch of small parochial units that aren't really connected by anything that we could call islamic or an overarching ideology. >> but you say they had to do that in part because those five muslim nations fighting with us

over there, they're bombing isis but they don't want to bomb al qaeda. >> right. khorasan -- actually, when they got sent to syria they're with al qaeda's franchise in syria which is al nusra. buried in the accounts of the bombing campaign was the fact that these five sunni-muslim governments will participate against the islamic state. but they won't participate against al nusra. and that makes perfect sense because for three or four years they've been arming, funding and training these groups which are said to be moderate groups. but the moderates it turns out work arm in arm with al qaeda and syria. >> this is how andy put it. what a totally messed up strategy. we're partnering on the ground with moderates whose main allies are al qaeda which we've been at war with for 13 years and which we're now bombing because it's plotting imnminent attacks. the man diagnosed with ebola

18 people may have had contact with duncan while he was contagious including five children. we're also learning the man did tell officials he had just come from liberia the first time he went to the hospital. but that information was never passed on to the rest of the medical team. that seems important. fox news's john roberts with this report. >> megyn, governor rick perry today had some startling news for parents in the dallas area saying five of the people who have been in close contact with ebola patient thomas eric duncan were children who went to four dallas schools earlier this week. the governor did say however the children were asymptommatic, they were being monitored very closely. and likely the risk of them passing on the infection to other students at those school ss very low. we are learning troubling information about what duncan was doing prior to leaving liberia. according to reports he helped move a woman who was about to die from ebola. the fella who helped him move her later died himself. and yet duncan still got on an airplane and flew here to the united states. and when he became ill with ebola, he went to that texas

hospital last thursday night. but despite the fact that he told them he had just come from an ebola-infected country, he was turned away and given antibiotics. apparently the message didn't get passed. here's a hospital official. >> the overall clinical presentation was not typical at that time yet for ebola. so as the team assessed him, they felt clinically it was a low-grade common viral disease. >> and late today we heard from united airlines which said duncan flew of two of its flights from brussels to dulles. flight 951 from brussels to dulles and then 822 from dulles to dallas. any passenger worry about that is encouraged to call the cdc. >> john roberts, thank you. up next, a special announcement. plus, coming up on "hannity". >> i believe he knew about it for years. i believe he knew about it when i believe he knew about it when he was running for
