come back. >> bob: eric, we miss you, buddy. >> kimberly: puerto rico! welcome to "red eye. i'm andy levy filling in for greg gutfeld who has been de dane -- detained regarding the i'm prommer use of an easter bunny suit. tom, what is coming up on tonight's show? >> while are you hosting the show, i will be in your show fighting the power all by myself. tonight's top story, no one has tried to remove god from anything in about 11 i days. so a school in massachusetts picked up the slack giving us something to talk about besides "the hunger games." and should fans be allowed to argue loudly at ballgames? let's pass a law banning it, and then argue loudly about that. and president obama is inscrieting green-themed characters on easter. let's hope they are not taking

private jets to get there. as my voice and articulation professor used to say, andy, have you some brandy handy? >> thanks, tom, even though your voice and articulation professor said no such thing. >> we will talk about this later. let's welcome our guest. i am here with lauren sivan in los angeles. it is her birthday by the time you are watching this. and welcoming a first time guest. he is comedian grews fine and in-- bruce fine and he is. bill schulz, he thinks he is on mob wives right now. and next to me, bill hammer, weekdays at 9:00 a.m. on this fox channel. and he cries for his mommy. good to see you pinch. >> congratulations to the new york metropolitan for their opening game shutout against the braves of atlanta. as a result our sports section has picked them to win the

national league pennant. just kidding, andy. we don't have a sports section. >> i thought you would do an old timey guy. >> i am shocked you are speaking with me. >> let's end the charade right now. god bless texas. god bless the child. just don't god bless the usa. at least when you are passing through the people's republic of massachusetts. patriotic singer lee greenwood would be rolling over in his grave, but he is very much alive, and pissed off they planned to change it is leer ricks to his song "god bless the usa" to relove the -- we love the us. local parents flipped out too. >> god is a big part of society and we are taking him out and you can see it in more drugs and kids in trouble. it reflects on that. >> i think that church and state should be separated. however, with god being in that song it has to do with the foundation of our

government. i don't think it should be removed from the song whatsoever. >> the fallout from the outrage, well, first the school said it was scraping all songs from the assembly because of the, quote, unquote, logistics. but then the superintendent issued a statement saying "political correctness is a consideration in the public sector. there are traditional parts that are sacred and we did not intend to disrespect. they will be singing two songs, one is about the 50 states and the other will be god bless the usa. students will be allowed to inning sing or not sing the words god bless the usa as they sing for their acquired knowledge. no other words will be substituted. there's no doubt this woman loves this land.

>> god bless booty popping. that's all i know. >> it is all at the same stoplight. >> take it easy. it is my daughter and she just got out. >> i want to start off with a complicated question. i spent a lot of time working on this crafting it and honing it. >> that superintendent has some guts. he allowed it and disallowed it and then allowed it and then said it is political -- well, of course it is. if you are lee greenwood he hasn't had publicity in this in a longtime. >> i think he is tied for first in the masters. >> you are a kid at the school. aren't you confused? >> where does it end? you will start teaching kids to stop saying god, what will you remove the g from omg from every text message they send

every day? where does it end? >> you would change it to oh my gourd. >> it is massachusetts. >> lauren, so the superintendent , he says political correctness is a consideration in the public sector. agree? >> it is not that hard. >> yes, it is a consideration because these -- he is a school administrator. >> he is a superintendent. >> it is a consideration because either way you will have people angry at the decisions you made. i am way more concerned about the fact they are having an assembly to celebrate the fourth grade learning about the 50 states. is that not something you are learning about? we are finished as a society, not because of this song, but because we celebrate that kind of basic -- >> that inned could of minor uh -- that kind of minor

achievement. >> the school said earlier they were not doing any songs because of logistics. i don't know what that means. >> it was acquired logistics. >> you know what it is? you remember in high school when they needed something with sound and audio they had the av crew that would come in? that's the logistic problem. you have to bring in the big projector. because schools don't have money. >> they may have lost the big key chain they carry. >> that would open the closet. >> with the projector. >> what was that? >> the overhead projector. >> i was going to say, they are not trying to change the words of the song. they are saying they are giving kids an option to say something else if they don't say god bless the usa. kids have been changing the lyrics forever. >> we love the usa.

you can do that. which one of those kids is actually going to do that? >> i was jimmy. >> bill, your good friend the reverend jeremiah wright is known for saying god damn america, so this is all a joke, right? >> sometimes i think you bring this up just to say that. i pal around with a lot of people and found out who they are and what they did. there is no reason they should be doing this song. and it is not because of the god factor. it is a terrible, terrible song. it is more mellow dramatic than brunch in chelsea, and it should not be inflicted on these poor kids and their tiny ears. >> bill, i disagree. i just bought a copy at the car wash in the bin for $2. >> it was one of the best

ones. >> it was one of the best hits on his greatest hit. >> in between your horrible, horrible statement, the simple solution is don't pick that song. if there is a problem and we have to change the works, pick a different song. >> fourth graders know all of the lyrics to drake songs. >> there is no separation from drake and school. >> you made it better. >> should schools be sensitive toking a nose sticks and atheists? >> it is a public school. you could argue in it if you wanted. if i were a parent i would take my kid out of the school. >> really? >> it is not the values i believe in. i don't want my kids going there. >> honestly, i like a principal with some sack. by the way, the largest cup of water i have ever seen in my life, you can drowned in this

thing. >> last question to you, lauren, he said he objected to the lyric change. he said god is the most important word in the whole piece of music, but really what does he know? >> he wrote it. >> but so what? >> francis scott key can't defend himself when people sang his song. >> that's a great point. >> because he is dead. from replacing the word god to the size of your bod. the latest disof paers -- dispatchers could not be more fatragous. they have instituted a policy banning job applicants from being too overweight. they said "the majority of our patients are over 65 and they have expectations that cannot be ignored in terms of personal appearance. we have the ability to characterize our process and

have a policy that says what is best for our business and our patients. meanwhile, the irish airline has gotten frequent flier slack -- wow, don't ever make me say that again. they dropped excess baggage to save on fuel costs. we cut costs where possible and there will be a significant reduction in weight. fuel is an integral part of the flare. and the shut your jaws in sen tiff clause it is a chance to appear in the girls of ryan air. what is next? roosters dating cats? i guess that is what is next. >> sorry about that. >> how did you get a video of

my rooster? >> you have to stop posting that publicly. >> lauren, i am taking a huge chance you can talk about this without offending most of america, so don't make me regret it. what do you think about what the hospital is doing? >> i really have a problem with this. in all seriousness i don't think think -- they are comparing it to age discrimination and racial discrimination. it is not the same. you were not born that way and there is something you can do about it. i think you have a right to hire who you want, especially if it will affect their job. my problem is they think -- they are just judging on appearances and bmi, whatever that is. >> body mass index. >> and i don't know if that determines what a healthy person is. bill schulz is rotting from the inside, and you wouldn't know it. >> but he could be hired just based on looks. he could weigh five times what

he weighs and be okay. >> i knew where that was going. >> i love is that the hospital exec says he is doing this because of the 65-year-old patients who have expectations. it is not me. it is all of the cranky old people. >> i think the hospital may have a point here. they want to set a certain standard and it leads to every bad thing you can think of. they are trying to set a certain standard. i don't think there is anything illegal about it. by the way, bmi, what the hell is that? >> body mass index. it is wrong. >> did anybody think was that do git mat? they came out with it 10 years ago. >> it can't tell the difference between what is muscle and what is fat. i ask for everyone's bmi before i go out with them. >> it is more like tmi. just playing. >> bruce, should the hospital be allowed to qualify job

candidates if they are overweight. they have the legal right, but as far as good business, people over 65 are so happy that anybody will talk to them and care for them. society just ignores our elderly. >> which is another show. >> i think it is on lifetime. >> it is on right now. it is killing us. >> you are right about that. seniors in america are ignored. everybody takes care of babies. >> and it is a thankless job. >> it is thankless and it is tough, but it would be nice if corporations would get people that are competent. it werks -- it works for starbucks and experiment -- spear mint rhino. >> the great part is they will hire you, and if you get obese on the job, they will say something. >> they will work with you.

>> it is the grandfather clause. >> yes, are you grandfathered in. >> don't jump ahead. i was going to stay over here and sit in my chair. >> i want to get to bill schulz. remember when it was about hiring people who were talented -- actually it is good you don't remember that. >> i am getting it from all sides here. i am one man trying to do his thing. >> i don't want a doctor wasting his time staying healthy and being in shape and counting calories. i want a doctor who smoked. people are not coming because they -- because he had a cigarette addiction. i want him to do all of those things to foe us with on one thing and one thing only. make sure i stay alive to do the same thing. >> he can relate. >> exactly. keep me alive.

>> when your unconscious body has to be lifted and moved around you you will need somebody physically capable of doing that. >> your earlier argument says at the could hale next to anything. >> you want keith richards to be your doctor? >> let's get to the ad thing. are they using this as an excuse not to have overweight floit attendants? >> it keep them hot. if that's what you mean. >> yes. >> you are disuk on a plane and they nickel and dime everything. you may as well have a hot weight staff. >> they are known for charging to use the toilet. for a while they wanted standing room only tickets. this is just a pr stunt, stnt it? >> am i allowed to talk now? >> yes.

>> the whole bathroom thing and everybody was talking about it. this is just -- >> balderdash? >> they should name it to cheap bastard airline. >> it is like the easter bunny here. they are not telling the flight attendants to lose weight. >> you don't want to be on that ryan air girl counselor? >> and getting back to the hospital, this deck is racist in addition to being sizeist. he had a discrimination lawsuit describing his disgust over the middle eastern born physicians. is this guy looking for excuses to not hire people?

when they backed him in he said i am just voicing the concerns of my patients. they are my racist, racist patients. >> you know how grandpa is, you know? >> you would think if you heard that day in and day out you would want to -- >> even at this age i am a sponge. i smoke is up. i soak it up ?ie. the -- there is an actual original created by boss fa uston. breitbart passed away last month. to win this make a bid. e-mail us at fox news.com. all of the money from the highest bid goes to the trust fund for andrew breitbart's four children. the highest bid comes from last week's winner who is again bidding $5,000. somebody beat him. the deadline is monday at 3:00 p.m. eastern time. let's see if anybody can top

this bid. if you want to make a donation, the youngest and 4 and the oldest is 12. checks and money order can be sent to 149 south barrington avenue, number 735, los angeles, california, 90049. coming up, should hot people get special treatment at movie theaters? first, why is don cheetle unhappy with the news? you are watching "red eye" on fnc. stick around.

does buying a seat give you the right to bleep. two players in the -- two

former play -- players in the stands werey ejected -- were, ejected for yelling at the calls. are they protected by the first amendment? it is open to debate with one legal expert saying, quote, when you go to a game, the governing body can control drunken behavior, but most viewed expresses are protected speech. no one has the right to insist that the game be watched in silence. but it changes if it interferes with the ability for the ref to do his job. >> nice. that one could over power greg. >> if he doesn't get the job

-- >> he will escape. >> he can run and climb and he is strong. >> strong lips sink ships. >> for some reason you are a cinncinati reds fan. >> have you been to madison square garden for a new york nicks name? have you heard these people 1234* good lord. they should have had the cameras on the court and they should have reversed them to the stands. it is really a show. but if they want to do this at madison square garden they will have quite a -- >> based on what they are saying everything is on the table. is there a line? when it comes to being physical. verbal abuse has been a part of sports. >> you know where there is not a line? going into madison square garden because the knicks suck. >> linsanity is over. >> is anyone going to argue you can yell racial epitaphs

to the fans ? the issue is the refs. the core of the subject is the refs. and they even had the audacity -- and when we talk sports you want to bring attorneys in. they said something about it affects the ref's ability. >> i don't think the refs like. it. >> you know what affects the riff's ability? the refs. they are the same guy that let michael jordan take four steps is now letting lebron james take four steps. i think they run until they die on the court, and then they bury them and get another 80-year-old guy to replace them. it is 60-year-old trying to take them in their prime. that's a problem. they can't do their job. it is not only right, but it

is our god given right. >> it is almost our responsibility. >> i heard a woman at the boston garden when i was 12 years old tell the referee, three seconds? your wife will tell you what three seconds is. that's entertainment. it comes with the ticket. >> do you heckle at sporting events or do you not know what is going on because are you a woman? >> i cover a lot of sporting events, andy. i cover a lot of sporting events and as a reporter i want the loon gnaw particular fans that are screaming. that's who i want to talk to and put on tv. who wants to watch a fan siting in silence? they are not interesting. and the rest of the problem because it is affecting their job, i don't -- you have been a reporter. if you are out in the field and guys are coming up to me and mooning me and licking my face. i have to put up with that all day.

>> but you enjoy it. >> it is called a perk. >> i do welcome it, but sometimes, no. >> did you get a picture of that? >> it is on youtube. >> if you want to see how many people care about refs talk to the people who saw billy crystal play. you know what, i went there. >> my thing is i like to heckle hobbyists. i will get in their face. >> exactly. you have to toughen them up. do you have a comment on the show? e-mail us. and to leave a voicemail for virtually no reason call 212-462-5050. still to come a half time report from tom shaw lieu. >> tonight's half time report is built by the animal native to central australia.

welcome back. let's go to tom shalou. >> andy, how did i do in pre game? it is your job, you should know. >> i honestly don't remember. that was a longtime ago. >> it was.

oh boy, the first story "god bless the usa" bill hammer, you said you would take your kids out of that school. this is a public school, is it not? >> they would be going to a catholic school. in the spirit of lent, they would never be at that school. i mean, it wasn't entirely candid my comment. in reality, my kids would not be under the per view of the superintendant at that school. >> but if you found yourself in dire -- in financial circumstances and you had to do something like send your children to public school, you might take them out. bill schulz, you find -- >> there are two. >> bill, you find this song to be modlin 1234*. >> mellow dramatic. >> oh, mellow dramatic. that is similar to modlin, is it not? >> isn't modlin like an old

time instrument? >> i love modlin. it dealt with some racy issues. >> what is mellow dramatic about "god bless the usa." he is saying if he had to start all over again, at least he has this country. it sounds like a sentiment that you, bill schulz, taking advantage of the american dream could agree with. >> you know what was medical droa dramatic, his button down american flag shirt he tucked into his jeans. that's crossing the line right there. >> tom? the important thing to remember is like all liberals, bill hates america. >> okay, now i understand. >> once you understand that, the rest flows freely. >> does he still want god to bless the usa? >> he doesn't believe in god. >> i believe god should bless the usa and come up with a better song. >> by the way, andy, you say lee westwood was second in the

masters. according to my computer lee westwood is in first place. >> i think that's what i said. >> well he is in first. >> now when you go and correct him -- >> he is correcting things he didn't hear. he is making it his own, andrew. >> oh boy. the obese hospital -- i guess we can't call it the obese hospital. that's what i am referring to it in my notes. bruce you are positive that our society ignores the elderly? what about medicare, medicaid and social security that is gobbling up america's fortune? >> that is an hour of the day. what about the other 23 hours of the day? >> the social security hour? what is this man talking about? >> i am talking about taking and caring and loving and

living. tlc, baby. bruce, they are taking all of our money, the old people. >> don't go chasing water will fas, tom. >> don't confuse him #w* lisa "left eye" lopez. >> this is the half time report. it is very serious. >> bill, you were wondering about bmi. you know it stands for body mass index. do you have it hand ?e? >> it is a three. >> that sounds impressive. >> i have no idea. it is all bunk anyway. >> you were wondering in the body mass index was valid. i checked my go to internet source for all of the health related news. the bmi is a valid index. >> douda vied it by something? >> i didn't check that. >> i wanted to see if live

strong is on there. >> my bmi is past and i learned that on the website live drunk. >> you did you get a wrist band for that? >> no, that is just a cut. >> live strong it is valid but you have to factor in blood pressure and alcohol roll and if you have a spare tire, if you one has a spare tire it throws off your bmi and you have to start all over. >> that's where they do one of the measurements, right? >> yes. if it is soft and flat in the middle, i guess it dloa -- >> don't worry about it. you don't have one? >> a spare tire? >> no, i don't. i read if it is little in the middle it's got much back. again i question your sources, sir.

>> he likes big butts and he cannot de night. the fans write to jeer, you said who wants to sit around at a sports event and watching a fan sitting in silent. w45* about my grandmother? >> first you are bashing the old people as they take all of our money. tell your grandmother to grow a sack and get involved in the game. get a little enthusiastic. >> also it grows off your bmi. bruce you said that these referees are 60 years old and white. i will have you know the average age is 51. >> that's the nfl. they are older at the nba.

i will check that. >> i will go on common sense. i will put my commence sense on the line, and at the break i will put a wager on that. >> this is hatch time -- half time report. we don't do common sense here. >> my mistake. wrong show. >> bill, did you figure out the billy crystal films yet? >> i was going to sang my giant, but he never is. he went through an nba phase. >> was whoopi goldburg the co-host? >> no. how do you not have it? it is your job to have it. >> are you killing me? >> did splb do -- did somebody use going tbel? >> that was a long half time. >> coming up, should fist

bumps replace our currency? bill hammer's new book first, what is the big surprise for the white house easter egg roll? i hope it is not a peanut butter. not a fan, people.

why was he so bitter on twitter? don cheetle slammed nbc for play is the race card. this after the network apologized for airing an edited version of george zimmerman's 9-1-1 call. he is the florida man who shot and killed an unarmed black teen claiming he was being attacked. "the today show" chopped it up to make it sound like zimmerman said trayvon martin looked suspicious because he was black,. i pray this does not affect the investigation or sway the facts in anyway.

and -- dangerous subject matter to be f-ing with. irresponsible and completely counter for justice on either side. i don't hate you, but i hate a new recruit. clearly we must discuss in the -- >> lightning roooooouuuunnnndd. lightning round. >> good for cheetle, right 1234*. >> you know the problem with this story that bothers me is the media has been in many cases enormously irresponsible about covering it. the grand jury has a job to do. ratings and the emotion that is involved in all of this is gets everybody fired up. >> what would be smart is to chill out and see what comes of it. for those of us bought and

sold on zimmerman's convictions, which may come at some point, but they are not going to be sad unless you go back to prison. at what point does it end? we would air a more cautious side. it is better for america frankly. >> lauren, it is nice they had a civil conversation. that's not usually what you see on twitter, as you know. i mean, i am confused why this is a news story. there were so many people speaking on out on this topic. i like that they could discuss it in a public forum and everybody could talk about it in that way. and bill was mentioning there was so much discussion about this that was not civil. it was violent in some cases. it is good on every level.

plenty of people have an opinion. >> they are not don cheetle. >> ties twitter -- his twitter name is i am dam twiddle. >> i was focusing on the dog. how many times do i have to tell you that 1234*. >> we need more liberals and more conservatives calling bs on their own side when bs exists, don't they? >> it is great he is a celebrity and he is putting his status on the line and making a point on an emotional subject. nbc was wrong. there is no director's cut necessary when you are dealing with hard core news. somebody made an error and he is pointing it out. he is pointing out the ramifications for that. talking about trials and justice. with all do respect with don

chettle. i would appreciate if thatett didded 30 minutes. >> we said lightning round. >> now that cheat tell is called bs in editing, isn't it more important to why he had a coffee accident? >> for sure. here is my theory on that. they were -- auditioning for the role and they said can you bring anything special. i said i can do an english ago sent. dark dark accent and then they looked over and it made him cooler. he was a dj. >> maybe they got to drop in some lightning. >> it really furthers the story. next topic, on thursday the white house spokesman says president obama believes augusta national golf club should change its membership rules and admit women. this after a reporter says ibm's

new ceo has been invited to be members. >> it has been in affect since 1933 following the great cooties outbreak. >> never forget. is this me or does that come up every year when the masters is on. and then it comes up again next year. >> first of all, they don't want to wear the ugly green jackets. it comes up in other places. in last there is a gym cod for whim -- a gym for women only. >> they just had to go work out and then of course they never heard anything. let the women have their gym. >> this is a bigger deal and the president stepping in with hope. there will be a campaign. >> lightning round, lightning round. >> he knows a way to the woman's heart. >> let me get to that. mitt romney says he thinks

they should let women join. >> he did. >> i didn't hear that. >> everybody is in full campaign mode. >> for the female vote. you are exactly right. this is a guarantee every april like the dog was blooming in georgia. of the women here, who really cares? >> bill? >> some of us are offended. i have to say for women only is a much better name for a gym. every time i go through curves it seems like a strip club. >> we could not get away with a whites only club. is it different for gender? >> how is jindle doing? >> he is allowed in the crowd once. >> is it different for genders genders -- discriminating against gender. >> lightning round. >> well done.

>> quickly, bill, you yourself were denied entry to augusta. will they allow you to become a member? >> it depends on which day they catch me. it is mama girl day and doors locked. >> call me a huh maf raw diet. don't leave now, we have more stuff to talk about.

so the white house's upcoming easter egg roll will include characters like captain planet, the super hero who helps fight polluters with magical rings in the early 1990s. others include smoky the bear and pbs green rabbit and bob the gym coach who stairs at you when you shower. lauren, is this a cool, sneaky move by the obama administration? >> what? smoky the bear? that is sneaky? >> to force their green agenda down the throats of our unsuspecting children? >> we are not even included.

>> for the rare occasion when nobody is chasing us. >> does it take the focus off what the meaning of easter is about which is a giant rabbit, i think? >> it would be a cool thing to bring your kids too. to. i have worked at captain planet and there is a reason knee is retired. >> did he do something bad? >> no, lightning round. >> bruce, what do you think? >> i am a jew. so i do defend lauren. i think there should be a passover ce dis ar. cedar. >> and this is a lightning round and the correct answer is i am a jew. >> bill, would you let your four i will legitimate daughters take place in the easter egg roll? >> yes, if i can find them. and how dare you be smir of --

dare besmirch. >> business in the front and party in the back. >> and the environment wins every dame all the time. >> i have had enough of all of you so we will close things up with a post game wrap up. to see clips of recent shows go to fox news.com/red eye.

you can watch us a couple times this weekend 3 a.m. eastern and saturday at 2:00 a.m. and 11 p.m. pacific. on monday on the next new red eye, that's right, we are off tomorrow. greg will be back and we have return appearances from patti ann browne and comedian joe devito.

time to go back to thomas michael shaw lieu for the post game wrap up. >> well, thank you, andy. boy, i had fun. bill, i hear you gave up alcohol for lent. how is that working out for ?u. >> three more days. i am almost there. lent is just too damn long. >> nicely done. >> we are almost there. >> lauren, your birthday is coming up, do you have any plans? >> it is pass over. >> no birthday fun on passover? >> no birthday cake even. >> can't you have the flat eped eped -- the flattened cake? >> that's all i get. thanks for bringing it up. >> i think our guests have loved your company. where can they see you perform?

>> i will be in lake tahoe in may. i will have the last pack show in los angeles every month. >> come on out. >> good i will see you when i am out there. >> by the way, 90% of nba referees under 60, buddy. over 51. nice try. >> was that what it was? >> you said 60. >> you said 51 and i said they are older. >> guys, i finally got something to plug. >> fox news radio.com, we don't remember. we have to plug this. >> i will click subscribe. >> you were there in mind. >> okay, andy, back tow. how did i do? >> good job, tom. nicely done. you headed to uganda? >> in a week. >> god speed. >> as a friend of mine said, give me a call, if you get back. >> that woulde
