. yesterday president obama took that message to the next generation of leaders, the millineals. >> we're coming out of this recession be the most diverse, the most -- the good news is despite some of the grit lock in washington we're making progress. and when i come to places like this, it inspires me and reminds me why i'm chronically optimistic about america. >> even get this, rolling out an imoge campaign on the committee. how are his liberal policies working owl for young people. the unemployment rate for teens hit 24% in september. so should millenials on the set today. bob, it's not any of the guys. >> you call it girlfriends? >> neither one of you. >> so we should define millennium -- i thought millennials were -- >> i'm a millennial. >> so let's do it this way, young people, should they be buying what president obama's selling? >> not if they want to be able to have a job. they will be able to have sex with whoever they want and smoke all the pot they want but they will not have a job. >> this imoge campaign, what are the symbols? like a pack of contraception, a joint,

moment in the oak of the obama presidency as the president's former cia director and defense secretary gives a series of interviews that raise serious questions about the president's foreign policy and his leadership. all this in the face of a major crisis in the middle east. democrat leon panetta in a new autobiography is suggesting the president has "lost his way." and that he "refuses to engage people, bringing the country to a point where we are governing by crisis." whether in syria we squandered an opportunity to arm syrian rebels before they were infiltrated to al qaeda. and whether we created the very vacuum known as isis where we withdrew all american troops in iraq over the recommendations of our generals. then there's benghazi where secretary panetta says the much-disputed talking points on exactly what happened that night were "not on point" and to make his point, this respected leader who worked for two democratic administrations has engaged in a nonstop series of eye opening sit-downs. here is a brief sample. >> in retrospect now was not arming the rebels at that time a m

scandal involving prostitutes rocks the obama white house. >> i think it's a very clear cover-up even more clear cut than benghazi. >> anyone who's going to use the quran to commit crimes of violence is someone who's a criminal. >> joe, they're not criminal, these kids who are running over there. they have no criminal records and they're joining up with isis. >> was the oklahoma beheading simply workplace violence, or was it an act of terrorism? >> why did he do it? >> acts of violence before they put in jail -- >> individual pointed a gun at the police officer, fired at least three rounds and continued to pull the trigger. >> racial tensions flare up in st. louis after an 18-year-old is shot and killed by an off-duty police officer. new polls show new signs of life in the gop. bill hemmer is at the "hannity" big board with all the details. all of that plus the latest on the battle against ebola here in america. "hannity" starts right here, right now. >>> welcome to "hannity." tonight, another cover-up is rocking the obama white house this time regarding the 2012 secret service prosti

analysis that the confidence ebbs at a steady drip. two overseas wars president obama set out to restore society's faith in public institutions. six years later, americans seem more dubious than ever that it really does. he goes on to point to the cdc. heading into the last election that will directly influence his presidency, michelle obama remains near lowest approval ratings with handling of matters called into question by many voters. only solace is that congress is held in even lower regard. above that, peter baker reporting that now public esteem for the long respected centers for disease control has plummeted with the arrival of ebola on more than shores. new poll found that only 37% of americans thought the centers were doing a good job, down from 60% last year. in fact, of nine agencies tests, seven that were judged highly by a majority of americans last year have now fallen below 50%. only one, the fbi, was rated well by a majority and that by just 51%. so, we're turning to all of you this morning. what is your confidence level in the federal government? again, republicans, dem

evening's talking points memo. when president obama cancels a fundraising trip, you know things are serious. and that's what happened today. mr. obama meeting with his cabinet about the growing ebola chaos in the u.s.a. instead of traveling. late last night texas health authorities announced a second healthcare worker at texas health presbyterian hospital has contracted ebola. she is 29-year-old amber joy vincent a registered nurse who treated the man who died from ebola thomas duncan a liberian national. that make twos american nurses infected after treating duncan the other nurse pham remains in isolation. the other case is even more harrowing than the first because ms. vinson took flight 113 from cleveland to dallas on october 13th. apparently carrying the ebola virus. now everybody on that flight has it to be monitored as well as all the people they came into contact with you can see how thomas duncan coming into the u.s.a. on a false premises has led to disaster. as you may know, talking points has demanded that u.s. authorities stop admitting west africans into america right n

in the united states. >> but just a few days ago, president obama had this warning. >> in terms of immediate threats to the united states, isil, khorasan group, those folks could kill americans. >> so before we get to the mixed messages coming out of the white house, eric, you saw the beheading video before they took it down. >> yeah, i watched it and i have seen three, i think three of the beheadings. this one is very similar. just like to point out, the brit, i believe they think he's british, the executioner says that the killing of henning was blood on the hands of the british parliament, he pointed thome o them out. he said this one belongs to the british parliament, and then he goes on, obama, in a very direct term, you started your air bombardment, you strike our people, we will continue to strike at the next of your people. he goes ahead and executes -- the execution starts and the video goes to black and then the -- they show a picture of peter edward kasig and basically saying this guy is next. it's gory, it's bloody, it's horrible, by it just proves how cowardly these pe

is he criticizing president obama for profit. we will have the inside story. >> i'm a guy who believes that barack obama has the guts to do the right thing. the real question is will he make the decision to do it? >> last night's factor interview with mr. panetta causing a sensation across the country but what does the white house think? ed henry will tell us. >> today we are deeply saddened by the death of of the patient in dallas despite max mall intervention, we learned today that he passed away. >> also ahead the liberian national who came to the u.s.a. with ebola has died in texas. the question tonight, are americans being told the real story about this disease? caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ >>> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the fallout from my interview with leon pa net attachment that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. predictably the former defense secretary is being attacked by some folks upset that president obama is being criticized. instead of debating what mr. pane

, but not only has the obama administration refused, they're now encouraging more individuals from west africa to come to the united states for training are and sending more americans to africa to help treat the already infected. >> who and cdc have not recommended we cut off travel from the countries because it remains essential that the world community engage in order to help the countries address and contain the ongoing health crisis, so some nationals of all three ebola affected countries will be traveling to the united states for training on how to treat ebola patients, an essential measure and, of course we have foreign nationals going there as well. lou: health and human services secretary sylvia burwell tried to assure americans by pointing to the obviously ineffective screening process put into place in the ebola stricken nations, a process that failed when eric duncan simply lied before boarding flight from liberia. duncan's family is under a court ordered quarantine in dallas including armed guards outside their door after they refused to obey health officials who direct

handling of the crisis. with president obama holding an emergency meeting with his cabinet and canceling a fund-raiser. but he placed the blame on dallas hospital officials. >> the the key thing to understand about this disease is the these protocols work. we know that because they have been used for decades now in ebola cases around the world. if they're done properly, they work. but we have to make sure that understandably certain local hospitals that may not have that experience are walking -- walked through that process as carefully as possible. >> the white house today claiming it still has confidence in embattled cdc director dr. tom freeden despite obvious mistakes made and misstatements. >> the answer to your first yes or no is yes. throughout this process and, dating back to march, this has been guided by medical experts who have experience in dealing with ebola outbreak. >> our first guest tonight says health care workers and nurses must work to promote safety. joining us is secretary of the american academy of nursing, executive vice president and chief operating officer of pe

less safe. that is the future of obama's policies. less prosperity, lesson safety and security. senator pryor has voted with obama 93% of the time and he cast a deciding vote for obama care. there is a better way. let's get the economy going. let's for po obamacare. -- repeal obama care. let's balance the budget. let's rebuild the military. let's stop apologizing for america. >> mr. cotton, the 188 fighter wings mission was previously changed. the 188th, originally based in were transferred out of state. the river valley was promised new jobs when drones were added to the mission. what will you do to ensure these jobs return to fort smith? >> is a former infantry officer who has been in combat, i can tell you there are few things that an infantryman love to hear better than the sound of an a-10 warthog coming over the mountain. it is not sleek, it is not modern. it does save lives. it supplies close support for infantryman. i try to fight it from the very first day that i entered into office. we need a manned up flying mission in arkansas. as your next senator, i will work to r

michelle obama campaigning with dan malloy. he's neck and neck with the same man who challenged him four years ago. the first lady today also hit the trail for the democrat running for governor of rhode island. that is also another close race. the president will head there later tonight. but right now, he's in the air on the way to stump in maine. with a presidency that's not exactly flying high. two points above his all-time low. we know obama's not on the ballot. his name alone is bringing republicans to the polls. nearly 60% of registered gop voters say they're going simply to the polls on tuesday to express their disappointment with the president. now, compare that to just 43% of democrats who say their vote will be in support of president obama and his policies. conventional thinking would say president obama is a drag on democrats, but our steve kornacki has another take on all of this. we'll talk to him in a few moments. but first, let's start with the stump. ron allen at the white house. and ron, the president has more campaign events this week through election day, really t

returned in 2009 to become the director of the central intelligence agency under president obama. in 2011 he became secretary of defense. a position he held until february of last year. somebody like leon panetta knows how about how the u.s. government really works. this morning on the "today" show, mr. panetta was asked about isis and why president obama pulled all u.s. troops out of iraq instead of leaving a force behind. >> i think he really did want to do what was right, but his feeling is if malaki doesn't want this, why should we keep pushing on this. >> maliki overran parts of iraq earlier this year. leon joins us now, by not leaving u.s. troops in iraq, president obama committed a colossal blunder, did he not? >> there's no question that not maintaining a true presence in iraq so that we could continue the momentum towards trying to secure that country and try to hope that it could govern itself in the right way, i think was a mistake. >> all right. i say it was a colossal blunder, not just a mistake, a mistake is -- uh, driving your rear-view fender into the wall when you're

donors. most -- more so than john boehner. president obama -- the democrats have the white house. i think the third aspect of this is that republican small donors, who used to be the lifeblood of the party, there is a disconnect between the rank and institutional voters. you are not seeing the kind of devotion to the nrc's the that you might have 10 or 20 years ago from the base. headlines from "the washington post," "flooding inboxes with last-minute campaign cash." as the house senator for the cook political report, reviews the with nbc news and an advisor and that famous or snowball -- let's get to your phone calls. new york city, democratic line, your thoughts? are you with us? let's go to clark in wisconsin. let's not forget about gerrymandering. hope that they get control of the congress so that america can be reminded of what it would he like to have republicans in control of congress, like they were in total control of government from 2000 to 2006. thank you. the third congressional district in wisconsin is represented i have democrat. it's funny that you should ring republi

dobbs or a president obama addressing the american public, the 10 states have outlined their own protocols, including mandatory quarantines come and health care workers are turning from the regions of western africa. >> the end is not defined by fear. that's not who we are. america is defined by possibility and when we see a problem and a challenge, then we fixed it. and we don't just react based on our fears. we react east on fact and judgment. and making smart decisions. ashley: fox news obtaining moments ago an internal state department memo marked sensitives that indicates the president obama is considering allowing non-american ebola individuals into the country for treatment. and this as australia suspended all travel from liberia and australia in the first to close its borders to travelers from the stricken region. also tonight the united states military under cyberattack will have as they that russia has infiltrated some of the top defense contractors. it has all ready spread as if all report is straight ahead. in the meantime, another good day for investors on wall stree

march. they are beheading americans. and crucifying christians. president obama admits he underestimated them. we need a senator to hold the president accountable and make america safe. >> isis is on the march not being pushed back. there are times when there are setbacks but how much of a chance is there for surprise? >> the impact on the elections could be quite a surprise in the sense it looks like the campaign is not having a dramatic effect and the notion that isis could end up in baghdad before election day. that is -- >> or they take territory, should the republicans jump on that? if baghdad falls, what do democrats say? >> they talk about things are not foreign policy. for the democrats who voted for obama and our incumbents there is no question. >> the other crisis is ebola. we heard the news that a dallas has been infected. the first person to contract ebola in the united states. john mccain is calling for an ebola czar in the white house. is this issue about two dominated the midterms? >> he is getting good political advice. he watches briefings and we keep talk

service for 40 years and he has a lot to say that's positive about president obama, the man who made the decision to go after osama bin laden, which he called a gutsy decision. there are a lot of people around the table who disagree with him on that go order but he did it. with the president who he feels thing done the right with the syria chemical weapons issue, with keeping the residual force in iraq. i think what he's trying to do in this book is talk about leadership. when you talk to people in the a te house, they'll say it's betrayal of him. that he's talking a good game now but not what he sounded like when he was in the white house. when i asked him whether it was a betrayal or you should be doing this -- joe biden said couldn't you wait until the guy is out of office? his answer was you don't put a hold on history. gwen: some do. after george w. bush was out of office, we got emails from condoleezza rice and dick cheney and stay pointed fingers at 50e67 other. >> this president has had bill gates. hill rill clinton. i this isn't unprecedented but i think that you have two pe

argues that president obama and the liberal media worked overtime to convince the public that george zimmerman unlawfully killed trayvon martin even though neither knew what really happened. he writes that martin was a drug user and street fighter who was confronted and shot by zimmerman. this is about an hour and 15 minutes. .. president obama will surely pass president richard nixon as the worst president ever on issues of national security and press freedom imagine what your enemies are saying. how is a man that launched for his but launched for his campaign presidency in springfield illinois comparing himself to abraham lincoln well end up the presidency hunkered down in the white house being compared. something went wrong in the process. we are here to explain that tonight. in other civil libertarian for a long time the village voice contributor said obama doesn't give a damn because he can get away with whatever he wants. unfortunately there is a lot of truth to what he says. i'm going to explore tonight how that came to be and it's a complex question. and it's one that

the kind of future that barack obama's policies promise. senator pryor has voted with barack obama 90% of the time. casting a decisive vote for obamacare. voting for every single penny of new deficit spending. mark pryor said barack obama doesn't offer a lot to rural america to states like arkansas. i agree. i just don't understand why he votes with him 90% of the time. barack obama's policies are on the budget. i agree with that. in arkansas those policies are called mark pryor. as you are listening, i hope you agree, there is a better way. let's repeal obama care and get health care working again. let's stop terrorists before they attack us here again. if you are ready for change, i'm ready to serve. >> mr. cotton, thank you. our first question tonight goes to mr. pryor. >> mr. pryor, i think a lot of people are turned off by the negative campaigns, especially some of the groups, like citizens united. what do you think? >> well, i'm turned off by the negative tone as well. you know, i wish that the groups, they set the tone ovwer 20 months ago, and they have spent a lot of money try

ground real combat boots according to the definition that president obama has. >> well, boots are already on the ground. it's just a question of whether they're wearing loafers or boots or tennis shoes. they're already on the ground. >> or barefoot. >> yeah. >> this highlights a bigger problem. we constantly are debating the tack continues of what we should use for isis or in the midst of africa. is president obama using the right ones or not? and republicans say he's not using the right ones or needs to use more. we really need to paint the strategy, the broad strategy, our foreign policy strategy and what does our foreign policy vision -- >> use of drones. >> the american public does not think we have a real foreign policy vision, and i think that's a debate we should have, not tactics. >> and, donna, this week we saw another of president obama's former cabinet members, this was defense secretary leon panetta come out and criticize the president. let's listen. >> the first four years and the time i spent there, i thought he was a strong leader on security issues. but these last
