ucon. please remember the spin comes here. we are definitely looking out for you. >> tonight it is a verdict we've all been waiting for. nine days into injure deliberations the john edwards case ended in a mistrial when jurors found him not guilty on one charge and remained deadlocked on the other five. he acquitted him of campaign finance charge. count that charged him with taking money to hide his miss stress during his 2008 presidential run. the final day of deliberations was you be precedented drama when the jury announced they could not come to an agreement on five of the six counts and that's when the judge scent them back to deliberate further and one hour later they returned and
9:01 pm
said they just couldn't reach a decision and a mistrial was declared on the remaining counts. and one more dramatic moment. john edwards took to the podium to relax act and for the first time he acknowledged his illegitimate child quinn. take a look. >> i want to say first thank you for the jurors, and their incredibly hard work and r not d anything illegal or ever thought i was doing anything illegal, i did an awful, awful lot that was wrong. and then finally, my precious quinn. who i love more than any of you could imagine. and i am so close to and so, so grateful for. so grateful for quinn. >> and joining me now with reaction to all the drama is the co-host of the five, kimberly,
9:02 pm
and mercedes cohen and joe trippi. he is talking about the trial for the first time tonight. we will start but. you are on the witness list, you didn't get called. can you shed some light on all this or anything you want to share? >> well, look, when you look at this result, there were six different fbi agents that either came to my house on two or three different occasions. i was interviewed a couple times, deposed by the prosecution attorneys in the case. and i'm just one person and there were lots of people on that list that were never called. and for this result. i mean, a tremendous waste of, i think, of fbi and justice department resources to get this result. so he admits he did a lot wrong,
9:03 pm
9:04 pm
but there was no smoking gun here. the jurors didn't see any evidence, didn't hear anyone say that john edwards knew that this was taking place and he knew that the laws were being broken. and without intent you can't have it -- >> i learned, i don't question injures. sometimes they get it right, most times i think they get is it right i think they always go in with the best of intentions. they want to follow the law. but if we look at this very closely, a campaign contribution, anything of value provided for -- for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election. but for the purpose. so weren't they trying to basically donate money, circumvent the law for the purpose of -- you are shaking your head. >> no. because there are two things. two tracks here. this is why the jury did what they did. you have to show the intent. we will set that aside. but they also said this is about hiding and the baby. he was a married man and had other children. >> but no one -- >> i understand that, your honor.
9:05 pm
but the jury got it right because they never saw the fact that there was intent by john edwards to knowingly commit this type of fraud. i don't know that the jury got it right necessarily. i think the evidence was there. it came down to a question of credibility and you had andrew young who is an individual who has had some questionable credible. he's been caught in a number of situations where there were false statements alleged to have been made but when he takes the sand he says believe me now. he also received financial benefit and avoided prosecution which, of course, he will quickly cooperate with the prosecution. >> but the how, why, when and where in this case. really he was in jeopardy here. in other words, there was a chance. but with a little more evidence you are saying they could have gotten a guilty verdict but maybe it wasn't a strong case presented to the jry. >> well, this was a group thing. they were dressing the same and
9:06 pm
things like that. >> and you look at andrew young and you are right. he said he lied to the whole nation. i am quinn's father. suddenly he's on the father saying believe me. but the other thing that incriminated him, most of the the money, bunt any money -- >> the bunny funny money. >> was to build $600,000 house or build the pool. so most the money didn't go to edwards or -- >> i don't know allow you want to explain this to the audience but i know a lot of people and i interviewed andrew young a lot of people that were around edwards. they all new this this was true. do you want to weigh in that maybe you knew something, maybe you be didn't know something? i'm not putting you on the spot or anything. >> no, no, no. >> yes, you are. >> no, i came into the campaign in april. and hunter and andrew had both
9:07 pm
disappeared before that in october. >> and you didn't hear any why or how come? >> sure, when the national inquirer came out, i, like a lot of people, thought the martians. >> the picture holding the baby up was a pretty key moment. >> that came after the election. but, sean, look, the charge he was found innocent on they unanimously found him innocent on was a check that the campaign -- or not the campaign, but it was never cashed by anybody until after the election was over. which is why a bunch of jurors could figure out how could that be about protecting his candidacy? his candidacy had ended before, you know, before the check was ever cashed. >> all right. >> but that one they found him innocent on. look, it's all -- known that i knew in the campaign, whether they knew or didn't know, condoned what had happened or would have condoned it. he did a lot wrong. but i think the jury made the
9:08 pm
right -- what happened was the right thing here. >> we are running out of time. >> i don't know that society would have been served. >> let me bring back our attorneys here. he was not a sympathetic figure. this brings a whole new meaning to what two americas are like. he was talking about one wife, one girlfriend, one plus one -- forget it. but we have the picture of him doing the hair thing. >> he comes off as an arrogant narcissist. >> he does. he denied of having knowledger her back in july of '08. and meantime he's having his closest aid. do you think the jury, knowing he's not a sympathetic figure but knowing the wife had passed away and the children would not have the father, is this in the jury's mind? >> you are saying injure nullification that maybe they factored it in especially with the daughter? >> i think that's why they were tortured so long because there was this reaction to john edwards. he's vilified. no one cares for him, no one
9:09 pm
likes him. he's vilified nationally. he came across as a flawed figure when he did his press conference. he's been punished enough. >> i got to run. good to see you. >> thank you. >> coming up, the former governor mitt romney gave axelrod a taste of his own medicine. we will show that tape next. and more. the planned parenthood videos. the very latest on the bill to ban gender based apportion and congress passed that law. we will tell you the results i know the name of eight princesses. i'm an expert on softball. and tea parties. i'll have more awkward conversations than i'm equipped for because i'm raising two girls on my own. i'll worry about the economy more than a few times before they're grown. but it's for them, so i've found a way. who matters most to you says the most about you.
9:10 pm
massmutual is owned by our policyholders so they matter most to us. massmutual. we'll help you get there. >> the former president and first lady return to the white house for the unveiling of their official portraits and likely an awkward affair with the obamas hosting president obama. he never skipped a beat. >> mr. president, that when you are wandering this halls as you wrestle with tough decision, you will now be able to gaze at this portrait and ask "what would george do"?

9:14 pm
axelrod was met with a crowd of fans that were chanting things like solyndra. kind ever like a boston bruins game. >> it's hard to etch sketch the truth away. if there are members of the news media who want to address questions to us? >> we are happy to entertain anyone out there. [indiscernible chanting] >> you can't handle the truth, my friends. that's the problem. you can't handle the truth. >> did you have anything to do with that enforcement? >> what? good good you have anyoning to do with the endorsement yesterday? >> no, no. governor patrick's endorsement was governor patrick's
9:15 pm
endorsement. we made clear what you are feelings were and the tremendous contributions she'll make to the united states senate. leveraged buy outs, do they transfer to government? and what the president has said and others said the middle class suffer. [background chanting] >> incomes decline, that is what happens when you are trying to translate those values and those principles into the governance of a state or a country. >> wow. joining me with reaction, and the co-host of the five, eric, and political analyst juan williams. welcome back. i'm watching this video, it's of its beyond i'm loving it for political purposes because he was there to stir up things, so it was entertaining. but butting that aside, i'm thinking why is the president's campaign advisor going to massachusetts, and trying to conduct a speech like this. i can see karl rove on "meet the
9:16 pm
press" or on a sunday show but i don't see karl rove doing this. what was he thinking? >> it was like the home team, sean, the home field for them. but president obama was busy today. he was doing the unveiling of the bush portrait, which was fantastic, by the way. so he went out and went east when romney went west. but he told us over the last few days they will start attacking mitt romney on thinks jobs record in massachusetts. romney has a response saying unemployment numbers were pretty darn good when i was there and made them even better. but they want that 47 out of 50 states talking point. they want to keep putting that out there. problem is the crowd was smart enough to go, hey, we have an open sword here of obama. let's talk solyndra for a minute. there's no answer to that. >> juan, from just a p. r. perspective it seems like a disaster for axelrod and the obama campaign and the crowd was yelling where are the jobs, where are the jobs, solyndra. it had that hockey feel to it.
9:17 pm
your son plays hockey and i played a lot of hockey. but you hear the crowd, that really backfired. >> no, it didn't backfire. it certainly didn't work, i'll give you that. but it didn't work because every gopher in the romney campaign saw an opportunity to go out there and make a seen and try to disrupt david axelrod's proper and accurate representation of the fact. even eric said he was 47th out of 50th in terms of job creation in the state of massachusetts. rick perry, the governor of texas, on a point during the republican primary. >> we got that. and i'm saying this in fairness to axelrod. in 2008 they ran a really strong campaign. but he's lost his footing here. it seems like, you know, there's something missing. "meet the press" for david axelrod, that's the place that he belongs. if he wants to go on and anywhere on nbc news, they are
9:18 pm
pretty much all obama friendly all the same so that would be a good place. can you imagine karl rove doing this? i couldn't. >> i think kral has done things like that. >> i don't think so. i don't remember. >> sure, he gave speeches -- >> when he was -- >> but i think you are right. i think it's better for someone like a david axelrod, who is not really a public figure to stay behind the scenes and let vice president biden or an elected official do that. but on the other hand, just the other night, where did they see mitt romney? he's out there with donald trump. is donald trump a better surrogate than david axelrod? i don't think so. >> i would take him over the money i would take from bill mauer. but here's the question. it seems everything, the war on women backfired , the dog backfired, and now they are yelling where are the jobs. >> well, what they keep doing, sean, we talked about this last week and the week before. they are called rabbits.
9:19 pm
see if the media chases the rabbit and takes your mind off the bad stuff, the jobs, the economy. these rabbits keep turning around and running back to the white house. the more you talk about jobs, whether it's massachusetts or california, you still electric to go back to what's going on in america in jobs. 500,000 fewer jobs today than the day that president obama took the oath. tomorrow morning we are probably going to have an 8.1 or 8.2 unemployment rate released with 150,000 jobs created. >> and how many people have left the workplace? >> absolutely the most important, two numbers you look for tomorrow. the amount of people that left the workforce and what that does to the unemployment rate because the job numbers is 150,000 to 200,000. it needs to be hire. but they can make it look however they want depending on how many left. and the other is duration of unemployment. when president obama took office the average, media amount of time people stayed on unemployment, 19 weeks and it's now 40 weeks. more than doubled if that number keeps going higher and higher,
9:20 pm
that means the unemployment benefits they are giving out keeps them on unemployment. romney is start smart. he will keep the focus on what's really happening in the economy and the jocks. and the $100 billion we've wasted on green energy. >> seems everything backfires. but if you were running the campaign, i don't think you would be involved in something like this. >> no, i thought it it was a mistake, sean. >> all right. so you are right occasionally. [laughter] >> once in a blue moon a blind squirrel finds a nut. and to eric, the country went through a terrific recession here. some people call it the great recession and how can you blame that all on president obama, i don't know. and in fact the economy has been producing jobs for -- >> juan, where are the jobs? he hasn't created a single nut job. >> look at the numbers. private sector even in this last quarter is up. >> and we are at a net job loss. this is eric's point.
9:21 pm
if i can speak for you. >> this is the key here. reason this romney was out at solyndra to say, look what happened to solyndra. that's just craziness. >> okay, we have to roll. >> and they invested in solyndra to try to promote alternative energy. >> and it was wasted. >> it was never about profit. and he closes the plant -- >> juan, juan, last word. >> and -- >> the smallest percentage of the american population is working in the last 25 years. the smallest number. >> that's the recession, eric. >> and 25 months in a row. >> thank you. >> what administration brought about the recession? >> all right. what administration didn't get us out of it and made it worse? got to go. thank you both. last night we showed you part one of a video sting targeting abortion based on gender. and tonight we will show you the

9:24 pm
9:25 pm
9:27 pm
>> >> that sounds like china. that doesn't sound like the united states. it doesn't sound like pro-choice. i want a girl or a boy. and that is... >> and and at this point to see someone do that, that is not what anyone wants. it's not sincere, republicans defeated it by putting it on the suspension calendar. they needed two thirds. >> they didn't want it to happen. that is what they wanted to do. >> it's going to be by the left. and districting and the president and white house now, you go back a day ago they
9:28 pm
weren't sure so there is a lot of political strategies went into this decision. and i find this shocking. when you take a look at the money we give to planned parenthood it makes it more work. >> this is outrageous what happened today. this is the deliberate suppression of women from society. this is the real world women, not the made up version. yet the president, planned parenthood and yes, house democrats, 94% of them voted against this bill. and all stood together to defeat this bill. we're not done with it yet. >> john boehner defeated this bill by putting it on the suspension calendar, let's be honest. not a dime of money from planned parenthood goes to abortion. >> there is no evidence gender specific abortions are... >> let me finish.
9:29 pm
the democrats with planned parenthood have been caught redhanded again going against what society believes is important. they're supporting before, people they thought were sex traffickers. there are 107 criminal... >> you're sounding like a film maker. maybe i want smaller go. maybe i don't want government in my bedroom and doctor's office. >>. >> sean: we have this couldn't septemberive mandate that liberals support the idea. >> absolutely. >> sean: you want to pay for birth control. >> i do. >> sean: you want to be able to compel people of conscious in different religious faiths to pay for it. >> nobody is trying to do that. >> sean: yes. they are. that is what this is about. catholic charities. let me finish. employees of catholic hospitals where it is a
9:30 pm
district opposition of their conscience, and teachings of their faith are forced to do something that they don't believe in. that is going against their freedom of religion like taking $486.4 million in grants and what about the first amendment freedom from religion? people go to work for catholic charities. >> no one and and there is -- not the way it works. >> it's logic. >> this is the -- do not believe this is the war against women? you don't understand the violence against women is in the womb? these guys voting in favor of the violence against women act split around and are in favor of it. it's outrageous. >> a lot of the people voted
9:31 pm
not one of the women voted for lilly ledveterer. >> so what? >> sean: do you remember when robert bork was up for the supreme court, remember, it was ted kennedy said there is going to be women, back alley abortions, all that have rhetoric. that showed up again. here is congress woman lee. listen to this. >> i think next act will be dragging women out of patient rooms into the streets, and screaming over their bodies they dragged out of getting access to womens' health care. that is what i feel like is occurring today. with the legislation that is on the floor. >> sean: this is a problem. i know you democrats are deaf on the president's record. you've got to scare grandma and start a phony war on women, nobody is going to be dragged out of anything. conservatives are saying if
9:32 pm
you want birth control, you pay for it. if you want to make that choice, you choose that life style, whatever it is. you pay for it. if you want to go to planned parenthood the government should not get $487 million taxpayer dollars to pay for abortion. abortion services or any things. you explain to me how a government $5 trillion in new obama debt should be paying for it. >> $487 million. >> $487 million for family planning so people do not have children. there are a lot of people out of work. >> sean: how about you and your liberal friends. why don't you raise the money for this? >> a lot of people do raise it. >> sean: why don't you do it? why taking way from taxpayers? >> it's money well spent. >> sean: you think so. penny and i, i don't understand how you can be against abortion and against fair access to birth control.
9:33 pm
and discovered in the process, you can get birth control pills for $9, condoms not that expensive. i looked into it. >> we spend millions of dollars a year in order to get free access to birth control this, is not about that. >> this is having government in a place where it does not belong. i think no woman wants to see that happen. >> and tax dollars where it does not belong. >> sean: taking a look at small government unless it's dealing with a woman that. is bad. bad. >> sean: coming up, thank you both. >> thank you. >> sean: a university of pennsylvania professor goes on a shocking anti-american rant. we have it on tape telling students we need to dust off marxist theories. our great, great american panel is coming up next. by work. the economy needs manufacturing. machines, tools, people making stuff.

>> a fox news legal analyst, peter john's is back. and she's a fox news contributor, nina easton is back. and he's known atrium's right-hand man, special counsell to donald trump, michael cohen. by the way, my trump tie. >> loving it. >> and we have university of past professor, we talk about captive audience, students and listen to this. >> i can't help but explain, wow, conservatives, they are such mean spirited [bleep]. you have to figure out how you can get the statistics is that show why the garbage is so badly picked up in north philly, why the police are rough, mean, vicious, and nasty in north philadelphia where they just beat you to the ground no matter what your color is. >> i think the mccarthy years have been behind this for long enough that we need to dust out
9:39 pm
the very usist marxist, the very hard-core ugly marxist concept. but the lump-in. and we are at a different moment in our history where it's useful to look at that term, you know, precisely. what did he mean by it? most of the time he was very sloppy with that term, right? the almost-in, it's the lumping secondtors. are those secondtors of the society that get thrown out of any possibility of interfacing productively with the economy of that moment in history? >> reaction? >> i'm not even sure what i can possibly say, something as ridiculous as that. my niece a senior at university of pennsylvania. and trump is a wharton graduate, and this guy is an absolute disgrace to the universities. i hope he was tenured because if i was on the board of that school i would call for his
9:40 pm
resignation. >> and so commonplace in school. that's the problem. >> and that's why i would be careful to just write this guy off. his thinking, less the direct marxism, but when he accuses conservatives of wanting to brutalize the poor, which is part of this rant, i think you have to take him on. you guys were the guys that set up a welfare system that led to generations of dependency. i was a big sister to an innercy girl who was 13 years old in the 80s and she wanted to get pregnant so she could get a welfare check and move out from her parents. that's what welfare was doing before conservatives push to change it and reform and and bill clinton took it on and end welfare as we know it. what is he doing for the poor? >> i feel sorry because the kids of vulnerable. they are susceptible because they have to get good grades so they have to pair it back and rejoining state this in doctrination and this tapes in many schools. >> it would be frightening to suck up to this guy. >> you don't suck up and --
9:41 pm
>> the university's, great universities are marketplaces of ideas, not cesspools of ideas. so he's supposed to engage in a pedigogic exercise, not in propaganda. it's all crazy talk. >> they ought to fire him. >> i don't believe in fire professors, but i believe is not signing up for his class. >> where's the critical thinking? of the i of. i went to college and the first thing the professor said was i'm a marxist, i'm a communist, and i spent the entire semester arguing with the guy. >> the first thing you should have done is gone and changed classes you are probably right. but i kneed the class at that time. >> but you don't have to finish it in four years. you will finish it in four years and one semester. >> but i would rather not. >> i would absolutely not take that class. >> there's such a uniformity of
9:42 pm
liberal views at ivy schools that they are aware there is a uniformity of liberal views. i was just at a school and there is a great awareness they need a wider range of views. >> but bring the voice necessary and not heckle them. >> another example, greg mancue at harvard, economic advisor to mitt romney, there was a walkout in his economic class. and the occupy folks staged a walkout. >> boycotts have a role sometimes and maybe on a university campus where you say you are not teaching us anything. if you want to teach us something, you want to be a communist or socialist or espouse marxism, but teach the course, though. we don't need that. >> we will take a break. we will come back. did you know the soda police is now alive and well in new york? and michael is going to reveal whether donald trump is running for president. he will speak for his boss. and we will have more with their great american panel, [ morgan ] lopez lomong started running when he was six

9:44 pm
on my journey across america, visa. supporting athletes and the olympic games for 25 years. i found new ways to tell people about saving money. this is bobby. say hello bobby. hello bobby. do you know you could save hundreds on car insurance over the phone, online or at your local geico office? tell us bobby, what would you do with all those savings? hire a better ventriloquist. your lips are moving. geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.
9:46 pm
9:47 pm
>> we continue with the great american panel. city of new york has a mayor, bloomberg, and apparently the most important thing on the gender is salt, you can't get it unless you ask for it at a restaurant. no smoking anywhere even outside in a public park and now the latest development is you can't get a drink bigger than 16 ounces if it has a lot of sugar in it. the nanny state, fully complete. listen to this. >> government cannot ultimately control what type of beverages new yorkers choose to buy for themselves and their children, nor should we. but we do have a responsibility to tell people the facts about sugary beverages and how harmful they can be. >> the irony here is guess what tomorrow is? national doughnut day. what's worse? what about creating a job? what about getting jobs in new york? 24 is what we want government to do now? >> government has more than just the role of creating jobs. government also has a responsibility to protect its citizens.
9:48 pm
especially the children. >> you support this? >> i absolutely support mayor bloomberg on almost everything that he does. >> you support the guy? >> i have seen -- i have seen, when you go to the movie theatre and they ask you would you like a small, which is 20 ounces, would you like a medium which is 32 ounces or would you like a 64, and if you want the super they give you a bucket filled with ice and you at this time there. it's 8,000, 10,000 calories. >> then don't buy it, you are an adult. >> but the children are buying and they are getting type ii diabetes. >> in the end i don't think it will happen but i think it's a great discussion because i'm sick of going to the theatre and ordering a soda and get 97 ounces for $12, and i'm going to drink this -- what am i doing with this? is it the whole town i'm drinking with? >> you are supposed to share it.
9:49 pm
this is the era of obama. come on. >> i love coke, but 12-ounces is good. >> you want the government to control -- >> no, i don't want to government to be the nanny state. i don't want that. >> i like a big popcorn. >> it's a good discussion, though. >> $18. >> it's a good conversation to have. it is not a good role for government. i agree with sean, this is a nanny state. to give you an idea how bizarre this is, so diet -- >> he is talking about a diet. he doesn't want -- >> first of all, i haven't had diet or regular soda after two and a half years. between the sugar and i think they should get rid of it all together. >> can i finish? since they are disallowing 16-ounce cups, in order to police that you have to take out the cups so even if you want the diet coke you can't get it. >> but that's the level of regulation we are talking about.
9:50 pm
>> mr. mayor. >> we did the same thing with cigarettes. >> go and create jobs. this isn't a top priority. media bias with athlete's foot, i just wanted to hide myeet. now? not so much. i got lotrimin ultra. it penetrates to soothe symptoms while it cures athlete's foot at its core. prescription strength lotrimin ultra. put your best foot forward. in your fight against bugs. ortho home defense max. with a new continuous spray wand. and a fast acting formula. so you can kill bugs inside, and keep bugs out. guaranteed. ortho home defense max.

9:54 pm
>> welcome back to "hannity." time for media mash. all the ways the media tries to put their liberal spin on all the news. here to go through this week's material we welcome back the center of the media center, brent brazel. how are you? >> sean has been, how are you doing? >> you are a great american. all right. let's start with this. when the president made the statement about a polish death camp this week, i even said on my radio show he misspoke. i didn't think it was a big deal. the white house apologized. i didn't think it was like navy corpse-man that he read three times. i think it's an honest mistake. we all make them. but the problem is the networks didn't cover that at all. but they did cover the romney campaign and the misspelling of america. let me show everybody what i'm talking about here. >> served as a courier for the resistance during the darkest way of world war ii. before one trip before enemy

lines they told them jews were being murdered on a massive scale and smuggled him into a polish death camp to sea for himself. he took that information to president franklin roosevelt, giving one of the first accounts of the holocaust and imploring the world to take action. >> the in the romney campaign is taking heat for bumbling tuesday's unveiling of a new i-phone app. the word "america" was misspelled. >> the romney camp red-faced after misspelling "america" on the new i-phone app. >> is it true they totally ignored the obama story, and some could argue it was a serious gaffe, i gave him the benefit of the doubt, being as benevolent as i am, but seriously there was no coverage of that, right, on the networks? >> right.

let's start with romney. the romney issue was a typo by his staff. a typo. i love it when a reporter says he's the campaign that's catching heat. sure they are they are catching it from the reporter that's doing the story. that's a typo. let's look at obama. i agree with you that it was an innocent mistake. however, this innocent mistake said that poland was in fact housing death camps. and it outraged 38 million poles. what they got was not an apology, what they got was a statement from the white house saying he regrets it. prime minister of poland said that's not enough. he needs apologize to us. and he's refused to do it. now the former was covered. the latter was ignored. >> i think that's the thing. i mean, it's such a double standard. all right. typical many stream media stuff. we talk about all the blister now and what's happened at nbc

news. we had the controversy obviously about the lack of comfort in describing our troops as heros, and this is what you get for analysis. we know there's an ebb and flow to political cycles but when you are trying to scare people and you are basically the press secretary for the white house, well, it's all doom and gloom all the time, even predicting if mitt romney is elected we will never have a democratic president again. which if they stay with the same ideology may not be a bad thing. roll the tape. >> it's pretty clear to me what's happening here. they are trying to set it up that if mitt romney gets elected, if mitt romney gets elected, there will never be a democratic president again in the history of the united states. the future is just -- this is the way it's going to be. there will never be a democratic president in our lifetime again. when i say in our lifetime, i'm

talking about long, long, long, long time. this is why wisconsin is so important. the people of the country need to know that you can defeat it. >> this is a guy who wanted to rick dick cheney's heart out and stomp on it and stick it back in him and called laura ingraham a slut. >> can we spell panic here? ed schultz, ed schultz is. [laughter] >> ed schultz is to talk radio what bill moyer acedias ad was to political advertising. it's thermo nuclear theatrics. they have been building up wisconsin as much as possible and suddenly they are saying there's about a 95% chance they are going to lose. they are panicking. and look, this is the first time in memory that the gop is hoping he's right. >> listen, that would be the one

time i would being actually happy, especially if the democratic party doesn't go back to the days of scoop jackson, more conservative blue d democrats that are almost nonexistent in the party. they didn't even have room for joe leiberman, the former vice presidential candidate. the question is will the fear work? the question is will the bias come through and have an impact? >> i think the more they are out there, it's like the boxer who is flailing away in the final round. i think people are seeing desperation here. and they are not seeing gravitous and they are not seeing presidential statesmanship. when you see this kind of bomb throwing coming from them and they are cheap shots coming from them, the public is seeing the cheap shots, i think it will catch up to them. mr. bozell, always a pleasure. thanks for being with us. as always, thank you for being with us. let not your heart
