Venturing in to the heart of motorcycle madness. A revved up watters world ahead. Caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone from southern california. The factor begins right now. Hi, im bill oreilly reporting from los angeles. Thanks for watching us tonight. As president obama returns from vacation, the threats from overseas mount. That is the subject of this evenings talking points memo. We live in a dangerous world and under president obama its becoming even more dangerous yet millions of americans are not paying attention. And that in itself is dangerous. Reports over the weekend say that russian tanks have now moved in to southeastern ukraine. We dont know the extent of that. But we do know the russian tyrant putin continues to challenge president obama. In china, warplanes apparently buzzed a u. S. Navy surveillance jet over international waters. The pentagon calls the situation provocative. And the isis Army Continues its carnage in the middle east. Its now captured an air base in syria. Even as the Obama Administration debates whether or not to attack the terror group in that wartorn country. Now its hard to believe the isis situation is so out of control and the president knew about it, knew about the threat, for nearly a year. Last thursday defense secretary hagel said this about isis. They are an imminent threat to every interest we have, whether its in iraq, or anywhere else. Isil is a sophisticated and well funded as any group that we have seen. Theyre beyond just a terrorist group. But this morning Pentagon Press secretary rear admiral john kirby seemed to play down the isis situation. Well, i think the general feeling is theyre not capable of a 9 11like style attack on the homeland right now. They certainly could through the use of foreign fighters impact western targets, including american targets, if they so choose. So once again we have mixed signals. The Obama Administration apparently not knowing how to deal with isis. Thats disturbing, because the usa should be doing everything in its power to crush those savages. We have to bomb them in syria, we bomb them. We have to send in drones to kill their leadership, you do it. America has been equivocating about this threat for far too long. And one of the reasons for that is that Many Americans are fed up with fighting wars abroad. On the republican side, senator rand paul leading that movement. You know what . We are tired of war. Were worried that Hillary Clinton will get us involved in another middle eastern war because shes so gung ho. If you want to see a transformational election in our country let the democrats put forward a war hawk like Hillary Clinton. On the left is also opposition to using military power to crush threats or right wrongs. And its understandable that all the chaos in iraq and afghanistan, who wants another military involvement . Not talking points. President obamas correct in being hesitant to put American Military forces on the ground. But there are other ways to confront villains. And threats to the American People. And here is where president obama falls down. He does not anticipate dangerous situations. He does not have strategies at the ready. Therefore, the Terror Threat is rising, and villains like putin are gaining power. Just a matter of time before america is harmed by bad people. The murder of journalist james foley was just a preview of what is very likely to continue to happen on a far greater scale. President obama must wise up and fast, and become far more aggressive in blunting threats to his very. And we, the people, need to start paying attention, as well. Because it is we who hold the real power in this country. And believe me, we are not using it. And thats the memo. Now for the top story reaction. Joining us from washington charles krauthammer. Lets take china first. How do you see their aggressive tactics . Chinese are always very careful. Theyre very incremental but they are relentless. And they can see what they would call a paper tiger when they see one and they have never seen one more thin and less reliable than barack obama. I mean, what prevents them from expanding as they want to do . Expanding their influence, and their control, and theyre pushing into the east china sea, the south china sea, in to areas that are claimed by all the countries around them and they are ignoring them and establishing their control with in the air and on the ground and the sea. The one power that would deter them is the united states. But not with this president. So they buzzed one of our planes yesterday. Our reaction is, very little rhetorically. Obama decides to send a carrier. I guess he was handed a checklist where it says send the carrier. But is there anything he said . Any warning . Any explanation to the American People about whats happening . It shouldnt have to happen on this show. It does. But this is not where it ought to be. Right. The reason obama you dont have to define the situation. But i need you to define it. Why is china saber rattling in international waters, trying to seize islands that have traditionally belonged to japan, vietnam and the philippines . Why are they doing that . China has, for at least 60 years, you could argue a millennium, but lets say at least since the second world war, since the communists came to power, wants to dominate the region. Wants to dominate the pacific rim countries all of whom are allied with us, south korea, japan, the philippines, all the way down to, in fact, vietnam, which is a de facto ally of ours. They want to dominate. They want to be the regional hedge mon but to do that they have to get rid of the u. S. Navy. And if they get rid of us they become the dominant power, control the resources and they essentially control what the other countries do. If the u. S. Is not there, as we have been for 50 years, to deter them and protect the weaker powers, they will become the dominant power. Okay. But president obama doesnt really have to define it to the American People because the American People know nothing about it. All right. They just dont know. Well thats because youve never said anything about it. Or the media hasnt said anything about it. And nobody has defined the issue the way were doing it tonight. So you can go out on the street. I dont even think most of the American People know about isis. I dont think they know because most dont watch Television News or read the newspaper anymore. They dont know about the threats. Thats why we have president s. Thats why we have leaders. People have their own lives. They have their own affairs. They have their own livelihoods. They have their families. They have a lot on their plate. When it comes to leadership about whats happening in a far corner of the world, you go to the president. The country was not interested in europe between the first and the second world wars. It needed an fdr who could see what was happening. To mobilize them at least spiritually, prepare them for pearl harbor. We know reagan was the one who girded us against the soviets. People and george h. W. Bush, do you think there was a clamor in the country to kick iraq out of kuwait . There was none. But you had a president who understood the stakes, explained them over and over to americans, was able to rally an alliance behind them, after he had said either you come with us, or were going to do this alone, created a coalition. Thats so the question now leadership. So then the final question is, why isnt barack obama leading the way many past president s have . Why . Look, there are ten theories i could offer, but the one that strikes me, the one as the most is he defines himself as antibush. He sees his mission in life as taking us out of wars. Thats how he got elected. He thinks that if we leave places, nothing will change. And well all be safe. I cant believe. He cant believe that. Hes governed that way for five years. I know but he cant believe it, charles. He cant believe it when he sees people being beheaded in front of cameras. He sees 35,000 miles of territory taken over by a terrorist army. He sees chinas provocation of russia. He cant believe that nothing bad is going to happen. He cant. Thats impossible. You cant believe that he cant believe it, but he does. Ive been arguing this since 2009 when he withdraw our power from iraq. He doesnt do a thing about the expansion of russia. He barely backs an ally when the chinese are expanding into the east and south china seas. He does this for years and years. Now to admit that all of these things have gone sour is to admit that everything hes done for the five years has been a mistake, and a misunderstanding of the world. That is hard for anyone to do, and with obama, with his streak of narcissism, it is impossible for him to do. Its almost six years now. And its but as i said, if we continue down this road its going to be disastrous for the country. Charles, thanks very much. Next on the rundown the funeral of Michael Brown in missouri. Very emotional. And there are many major issues at play here. Later, well discuss White Privilege. Does it really exist in america . The factor is coming right back. Tonight, the funeral of Michael Brown shot dead by a ferguson, missouri, Police Officer on august 9th. Close to 5,000 attended the service today, at a Baptist Church in st. Louis. The white house sent three officials. And five members of the Congressional Black Caucus also attended. The ceremony was peaceful, but emotional. There is a cry being made from the ground. Not just for Michael Brown. But for the trayvon martins, for those children at sandy hook elementary school, for the columbine massacre, for the blackonblack crime, there is a cry being made from the ground and god is hearing. And joining us now from washington, Mary Katherine hamm, ron williams both fox news analysts. What is the head line from the Funeral Service today for you . Well, i think there was a lot of fear that this would become a platform, bill, for protests, racial rhetoric and language, invectives, even potentially for riots, more rioting, it would spark more rioting. Saw was a d show of faith. I was taken aback. You know, in the black religious tradition of, you know, moving on this far by faith, a show of belief even in the face of deep grief and loss over a childs life. I really was taken that it was a religious service, and im grateful for that. And Mary Katherine, any headline for you . Yeah, i think it was sort of a peaceful coda perhaps to the story. Maybe were moving into a new phase of the starry and i hope it gives some folks on the ground some closure. Look i think whenever an incident becomes a National Conversation, youre going to have some political opportunists, rhetorical opportunists, and even criminal opportunists latching onto this. I think in this new phase it becomes easier to get the facts about an issue like this. Or an incident like this and not to sort of jump to conclusions. But i will say what i saw was some real people who are the friends of this person who have real concerns. And this incident aside, people should have concerns when an unarmed person ends up dead in a conflict with police. And the police need to be open about those investigations, and not to comment on this particular officer, the Police Departments response can be commented on and they gave basically a clinic on how not to deal with this and calm people down. And i think thats something that we demand of police and should. I agree with that, juan. I called the Ferguson Police the keystone cops. I got the nasty letters accusing me of whatever. You can say that without disrespecting cops. Theres this whole, when it becomes a National Conversation like this, you either hate africanamericans or you hate cops. You can have a discussion about this without doing either. Right. And in the same commentary, we came up with the stat that 99. 9 of arrests do not lead to anything like this in america. And that is a record that all Law Enforcement should be proud of. In this particular case to leave the body in the street for hours, to not put forth any rationale about why the incident happened was, as Mary Katharine is absolutely correct, irresponsible. Because it did give, juan, it did give ammunition to the agitators, who then ran in and as well show you later on in the broadcast what they do, and blew this thing up. However, we get back to Michael Brown, because it was his service. And fairminded americans, an 18yearold you know, 18yearolds make mistakes. No matter how this turns out. No matter how this case turns out, one. 18yearolds make mistakes. So if Michael Brown did something wrong it doesnt mean that you wind up dead in the street. All right. No. And, in fact, i was taken by that piece the piece that you ran in drusing the segment with Mary Katharine and me, bill, you had Michael Browns uncle preaching. And you know, i was taken. I just thought it was an amazing little sermon that he delivered, eulogy, in which he talked about Michael Brown as something bigger than what we have all been focused on in terms of the racial back and forth, cop versus poor black people and all that. In which he was talking about this in terms of trayvon martin, columbine, sandy hook, and saying this is a level of violence our children live with in america, black, white, asian, hispanic. I thought that was quite amazing. And the second thing to say is here, i thought that when you heard from people who also spoke at the ceremony, a number of black celebrities there who took the time to be there, t. J. Jakes the minister, tom joiner the radio personality, spike lee the moviemaker, i think lots of people really thought this was an important thing to signify by their presence and im again glad that they did it. And even, even al sharpton, who i dont have a lot of respect for as you know, to say theres no time for a pity party, time to talk about blackonblack crime. You heard that from the uncle, too. Yeah, he has to say that now. Thats an important he has to say that now. Because of you okay. I got to run but what we did here on the factor last week changed the whole way that everybody was talking about it. There we go. Well get into a moment. Thank you. Directly ahead al shortstopton and how could the nations leading provocateur continue to be paid by a leading news agency . How can that happen .

One interesting note about the funeral of Michael Brown today, al sharpton gave the eulogy. Cnn and fox news did not take that live and msnbc only took part of it. That may be because sharpton has become so controversial in america that its hard to explain how a news agency, nbc, can even have him on the payroll. Joining us from washington lauren ashburn, howard kurtz from the Fox News Program media buzz. So howard i understand youve been critical of the nbc sharpton alliance. Bill, this is a travesty. You have sharpton delivering pretty political speech at the funeral today. You have him meeting with Michael Browns family. You have him talking about it on msnbc. Interviewing the family on msnbc. And now, you have the acknowledgment by sharpton that he is a conduit, he is the goto guy for the Obama White House on ferguson. It is amazing to me, this just weeks that msnbc thinks this is acceptable. Well, why isnt a compliment to sharpton that he can deliver to msnbc exclusive stories from the white house, and from the family, of the slain boy . I mean thats what reporters are supposed to do, get exclusives. Right. But, phil griffin no, no, no, laura, laura, laura are you cutting me off already . Already. Im challenging howards opening statement. Why isnt that a compliment to sharpton to be able to deliver that stuff . Because you cant be a player and cover the game. We didnt know until this article in politico, now the New York Times has a real puff piece on sharpton today, doesnt even mention this conflict of interest that obama was quietly working with excuse me that reverend al is working with the president to carry his message to be a conduit to valerie jarrett. It is so fundamental that i dont think very few news organizations would allow it. No, i dont think any other than msnbc, and nbc news the parent company. Now, lauren, look. It is a conflict of interest to take a sitting president , and to have a commentator basically do the sitting president s bidding. That is a conflict of interest. That is way out of the rea
