The word of god is the standard in my home, its the standard for my marriage. Its the standard for my companies. The benham brothers lost a possible tv show as a result of their christian believes and today, they nearly lost their business. But a dramatic new twist tonight on the kelly file. Starting now. Breaking tonight in a kelly file exclusive, new questions about whether some Top Democrats were involved in irs targeting of conservative groups and whether the agency is trying to keep that from coming out. Good evening, everybody. Im Martha Maccallum in for kelly tonight. We have been reporting for the last 48 hours of how a court order forced the release of brandnew emails in the irs scandal, emails that show officials were discussing the effort to target conservatives and political groups in the run up to the 2012 election, senator leaven encouraged them to go out there and challenge those groups by the irs. Now attention turns to roughly a dozen additional democrats now including senator harry reid, Chuck Schumer and Mary Landrieu and others. Its been almost a year exactly since republicans demanded the irs produce the emails between those lawmakers and the irs and were hearing the irs still has not released those documents. Joining me now, katy who broke this story. Shes a Fox News Contributor and news editor for town hall. Com. Youre suggesting through six different moves, they basically stone walled releasing information on the top senators, right . Last year shortly after lois lerner admitted and apologized for the targeting of tea party groups, the group on capitol hill full of republicans asked the irs to produce information through a request showing the correspondence, if there was, between 13 democrats on the hill and this includes senator harry reid, senator Chuck Schumer and other democrats. The correspondence between them and top officials at the irs including former commissioner douglas shulman, lois lerner and and stephen miller. What is taking so long . Throughout the course of the last year, weve seen the irs send these letters to the nrfc over and over again, six of them with the same exact language saying we need more time to fulfill your request. The first initial request that they asked for more time, the irs has 20 days to respond to a request by law and they then have a tenday period to extend it to and then they have also recognized that after that tenday period they can sue the group asking for that information. They keep sending letters over and over again saying we need time to compile this information but dont deny the information exists, which suggests they are running out the clock to circle the wagons around democrats because that correspondence exists. You go to lois lerner and who took the fifth and all of that that put together suggests there is something they dont want to release. If they had gone through everything and found nothing, you would think they would be more than happy to say we went through everything, we havent seen any correspondence pushing them to investigate or give these groups a hard time. Right. The specific language in these letters, the entire six of them that keep getting sent in response to this request, they specifically say we need more time to compile and send and go through this information, and on the election side, we know the irs was working with democrats during an Election Year to try and target these groups, but going forward, march Mary Landrieu is on this list because people had a they had a suspicion there were democrats and harry reid on the senate floor calling out groups saying they need to be targeted and Chuck Schumer saying this. So the nrfc wanted to know what information there could have been between the irs and democrats and they are getting stone walled and that information isnt coming forward. They still dont know. Judicial watch got them through suing. So well see what happens next. Katy, thank you very much. Thank you, martha. The court order that produced the emails came after a lawsuit, as i junction mentioned from Judicial Watch. The news about senator leavens emails and the role of the irs headquarters in washington got picked up by a couple dozen newspapers, blogs and newscasts like this one but our next guest says it has been so far ignored by a broad part of the main stream media. Brad is the president of the Media Research center. Good to have you with us. Why didnt they cover it . Well, lets put the news in the proper perspective. The developments in the last week, the first thing that we know is that the documents that were talking about were supposed to be delivered by administration. It took Judicial Watch and freedom of information act to do what the government, what the Obama Administration simply will not do, just like with benghazi. The second thing that we learned was that this story about the irs targeting coming from a Cincinnati Office was a lie. These documents now confirm it, and its confirmed because lois lerner we know was lying when she said that just like benghazi saying it was a video. The third thing we learned a United States senator was using his power to push the most feared arm of the federal government to persecute conservative organizations brent, you know like americans for prosperity. Carl leavens office says look, he was concerned that these groups were using their political abilities to sway people and they are not allowed to do politics, essentially, so he wanted them checked out and they claim he investigated liberal groups, even though it was one, compared to 11. They say that but its a litany of conservative groups. What is the irs going to do when a senior member, the United States senate says i want this done as if the irs was the personal fiefdom of carl leaven but this is what happens when its a government out of control, and we have a government out of control. So youve got those three major developments. The fourth was that the media thought there was no interest in this, abc, nbc, cbs, not one second has been devoted to this. And to put that in as proper perspective. They were spending 20 minutes talking about karl rove and Hillary Clinton but zero seconds on these stories. Brent, thank you very much. Something to think about. Good to see you tonight. All right. Also breaking tonight, we are just getting word that a 57yearold man has been charged with setting one of the wildfires that swept across Southern California throughout the course of this week. This as we get word that another fire has erupted at Camp Pendleton. Good evening, trace. Martha, that new fire was called the combat fire. Now its renamed the san mateo fire. Either way, it is a very for midable force. It pushed evacuations to 75 of the northern part of the base, marines and families being forced out. Keep in mind, cameras not allowed on Camp Pendleton or on. It looks like a big, giant smoke plume now. Two other fires burning out there. Some 15,000 acres on Camp Pendleton, eight across the entire city of san diego aside from the camp with the cocoas fire threatening thousands of homes. Today some people came back to their burned out homes and some people like jim, he never left. Listen to him. My wife loves this house. We wake up every morning, i love this house. We have to save this house. We did. He did, indeed. But many neighbors lost their homes. At least 37 structures across san diego have been destroyed. The temperatures and wind both dropped a bit today. They are hoping for a bit more tomorrow, and if you think its dangerous fighting fires, its also a little dangerous when you cover them. This is a photographer in san diego that got a bit close to the fire drop. He got a face and camera full of the orange stuff, martha, not too bad. Happened to me. You get over it. Days after an explosive report on how administration released thousands of felons facing deportation, there is talk of executive action to relax the rules on them even further. Thats next, plus this. International outrage mounting over the death sentence for the pregnant wife of an american citizen in sudan because she refuses to renounce her Christian Faith and concerns about the state of Veterans Health care as battle field heroes wait for doctors while a soldier who betrayed his country gets gender treatment . Plus, first they lost their tv show, then they almost lost their business. A dramatic new twist tonight in the story of the benham brothers and their Christian Faith. [ female announcer ] theres a gap out there. Thats keeping you from the healthcare you deserve. At humana, we believe if healthcare changes, if it becomes simpler. If frustration and paperwork decrease. If grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home. The gap begins to close. So lets simplify things. Lets close the gap between people and care. Just days after a bombshell report shows just days after a bombshell report shows administration frees thousands with serious criminal convictions back into their communities, were getting hints that the president could take executive action to change a Controversial Program that is meant to identify and remove immigrants who pose a threat to Public Safety in their communities. Here is the new secretary of Homeland Security on this, listen. The program is very controversial and i told a group of sheriffs and chiefs that i met with a couple days ago that i thought we need add fresh start. Former speech writer for president George W Bush and American Enterprise institute fellow. Mark, good evening. Good to have you here, as always. Good evening, how are you . Good. Its interesting. This is a program the president ramped up and had removed a lot of people using this program and took credit, you know, and said weve done more deportations than any prior president but now they decided that for some reason, this program is a bad idea. Why would that be . Im not sure. They are saying that what they are going to do or contemplating is raising the restrictions, a program called secure communities and federal officials, if a local Police Detains somebody in another crime and their fingerprints show up in a federal data base of people who have immigration offenses, they can be detained by immigration and considered for deportation. What they are doing is saying they have to be convicted, not booked for a crime for that to happen. I dont know why conviction is such a standard since they released 36,000 people who were convicted of serious crime. We have a break down of those people. Lets put that up on the screen. This release of 36,000 people included 193 homicide convictions, 426 Sexual Assault convictions were among those released into the general public, 16,000 plus drunk and drugged driving convictions of folks. It makes no sense. I mean, why would they be doing this . I know you feel there is a political under pinning here. What do you think it is . Sure, they are releasing murders and kidnappers and the rest. Reasonable people can disagree about Immigration Reform. Reasonable people can disagree about a path to citizen ship. We should be able to agree if youre an illegal immigrant who comments a serious crime, the only path is a path out of the country. I think what they are trying to do is use this as pressure on congress to pass Immigration Reform that the president is going to go out and do it unlat hilly if congress doesnt act. The reason thats holding up Immigration Reform in congress is the president s lawlessness and action. The fact that hes not enforcing the laws hes already passed and members of congress feel if there is a deal on immigration that involves enforcement and amnesty of some kind, enforcement will not happen because obama follows the laws. They are hoping that this will urge something to happen or perhaps urge something not to happen because this is going to paint john boehner into a difficult position because his critics on his side of the fence will say why would we agree to anything on Immigration Reform because this is the stuff they want to do . Makes it harder for john boehner to do it. Makes it much harder for him to do it. We have an administration that is not enforcing obama care and passing waivers and enforced the dream act that congress didnt agree to pass. They have deferred deportation for 1. 7 Million People who came to the country under 16. That may or may not be a good idea but congress didnt pass the act. He has to follow the laws and were talking about not deporting criminals. How is that going to help the cause of Immigration Reform . If you are for Immigration Reform, you should be for the secure communities program. We should agree people that commit crimes should be punished. Thanks. She married an american and calls herself a christian and now a muslim court says that after she gives birth to the baby that she is now expecting, leaving islam. See what washington is doing about this coming up next. And then a new twist in the story of a u. S. Marine jailed for weeks in mexico after he got lost. Plus when Edward Snowden decided to publish some of americas most critical secrets, he used Glenn Greenwald to tell his story. Greenwald joins us tonight on the saga and blow back. Do you think that Glenn Greenwald should be prosecuted for what is released so far . It should be considered. The reason, its putting american lives at risk. [ male announcer ] what if a Small Company became big business overnight . Like, really big. Then expanded . Or their new product tanked . Or not . What if they embrace new technology instead . Imagine a companys future with the future of trading. Company profile. A Research Tool on thinkorswim. From td ameritrade. She married an american and calls herself a christian and now a muslim court says after this young wife and mother gives birth to her second child, they will give her 100 lashes and hang her for marrying a christian. Thats her crime. Earlier this week, the judge gave the 27yearold an opportunity to recant her Christian Faith. She refused, declaring in court i am a christian and i will remain a christian. She is a woman of courage, and joining me now is fox news political analyst kirsten powers. Thank you for being here tonight. Good to be here. This is an extraordinary story that is playing out in sudan, which is one of the most impossible places to practice religion freedom in the world, and religious freedom in the world and she is definitely a victim of that. Right. I mean, what incredible bravery, too. You know, when you think about this, that she has basically been told if you will renounce your faith we wont kill you and she wont do that. Its a testament to how deeply she holds this belief and its a belief that really needs to be protected and its not just that she is going to be possibly executed, that she is going to be, you know, punished allegedly for adultery because she married a nonmuslim, she has a 20 month old with her in jail. This is incredibly inhumane. The logic is so difficult for us to understand. In this country. They are basically saying her son cant be with his father who is christian who is wheelchair bound because hes not muslim so he doesnt count as a parent and shes the only parent and this child, toddler, hes suffering with her in prison. Right. Yes, and i think, you know, the question is what is the United States doing about this . They have expressed some outrage about it, but are they pressuring, putting any pressure in this situation . I mean, this is such a fundamental right to practice your religion. She was raised by a christian mother, so she actually was raised a christian. Her father was a muslim, but abandoned the family, and then she was apparently reported by a Family Member, i mean, can you imagine her brother. Her Family Member saying shes an apostacy and adultress. This is the statement from the government. We called on the government to respect her and to her right to freedom of religion, a universal human right enshined in sudans own 2005 constitutional as well as the universal of as the universal of declaration, of human rights. So thats well and good. I dont know, should we be criticizing our government for not doing enough or not . I think we should be, and i think this look, persecution, religious persecution around the world is one of the biggest, it is the biggest human rights crisis in the world and not just christians. You know, even in a lot of these countries, you will see muslim minorities being discriminated against and persecuted and the president has said almost nothing. This is an opportunity to speak up, especially when her life is on the line but she represents so many people, martha. This is not isolated. This is something happening all over the world, and the United States really has not at all taken this seriously. You know, we dont have an envoy, frank wolf is somebody on the hill whose been pushing for us to have an envoy and i cant stress the horrors that religious people around the world of all religions, not just christians are experiencing. If you print this out, there are pages and pages of Church Bombings and killings of women and child
