right now o'reilly is back and is he live and coming at you. >> bill: the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> i tried to stand up and that's when he grabbed me by the head and slammed my head down. put his hand on my nose and other hand on my mouth and [bleep] >> bill: the jury in the trayvon martin case hears the defendant george zimmerman tell police he was defending himself from harm. do you believe that? we will have the latest from the courtroom. also, bernie goldberg will analyze press coverage from the trial. >> there is no stopping the publishing process at this stage. great care has been taken to make sure that mr. snowden can't be pressured by any state to stop the publication process. >> bill: the united states telling russia and ecuador it better not harbor edward snowden.

colonel ralph peters has the inside story on that. >> why did you decide to leave india and come here? >> luck. >> are you making any doe? >> not yet. bill jesse watters on recent immigrants coming to the united states trying to make a living coming to america. >> you are legal, right snsm. >> yeah. >> let me see your papers? i'm kidding you. >> caution. you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the united states of loopholes. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. because i am a simple man, we all know that, all the supreme court business is way too confusing for me. so i spent a lot of time trying to break it down so everybody can understand what's going on. talking points now believes the supreme court is morphed into a political

organization, not a body that seeks to uphold the constitution. so now we have three political concerns in the u.s.a., the house, the senate, and the supreme court. not what the founding fathers wanted. they gave the highest court in the land enormous power to make sure that congress and the president obey the constitution. obama care and gay marriage are the best examples of how the supreme court has gone against what the founders really wanted. this there is no way on earth that the federal government should have the power to compel americans to buy any product, including health insurance. the only exception is public safety as in automobile insurance. if somebody hurts with you a vehicle, they must be able it to pay compensation. so, the states mandate car insurance. but five members in the supreme court ruled that the feds can now order everyone to buy expensive health insurance and the feds will dictate how that happens. and punish you if you don't comply. again, there is no way the

founders would ever have condoned that. but the vote decider, chief justice john roberts found a legal loophole to justify its support. on the gay marriage front, the court actually got it right when it ruled that marriage should be decided by the individual states. if the folks in vermont for example want a secular progressive society that's up to them. if voters in texas want a more traditional society that sentiment should be respected as well. the gay marriage issue should be decided by each state. california did decide it in november 2008, 52% of californians voted for traditional marriage only but governor schwarzenegger and brown and the powers that be in sacramento refused to support the vote when a judge struck it down. so the supreme court heard the case and once again found a loophole to nullify two votes. not one, two. against gay marriage. the streams ruled 5 to 4

that supporters of traditional marriage had no legal standing to challenge the judge who struck it down. ridiculous? you bet. an ab-surd. it was all a big con. judges finding a way to support their political opinions by manipulating the law. anyone with a law degree can do that, anyone. the main reason the courts will not uphold traditional marriage because of the discrimination accusation. if you are against gay marriage then you are denying a segment of the american population their constitutional rights. that argument was destroyed yesterday by ravel reid. >> this suggestion that because somebody wants to affirm the institution of marriage that they are inso facto intolerant, by that argument barack obama was intolerant 14 months ago. by that argument, 342 members of a house, 85 members of the senate, including by the way joe biden, harry reid, pat leahy, who all voted for

this law and bill clinton who signed it into law were intolerant and motivated by. >> anna: must and a hatred for gay. >> bill: talking about the doma, defense of marriage act. now, remember, the defense of marriage act was signed in '96 by then president clinton and president obama ran twice, twice opposing gay marriage both times. now, he has changed his mind. talking points doesn't want to discriminate against anyone. i want all americans to have an equal pursuit of happiness, but i also want we the people to have the primary power to decide what kind of country we should have. that means you don't find loopholes to nullify legitimate votes. the supreme court is now deciding issues along political lines rather than constitutional principles. and that is drastically changing this nation for the worse. and that's the memo. now, for the top story tonight. reaction. joining us from washington mary katharine ham and juan williams, both fox news

analysts. let's keep this simple, juan, may be more simple than i am. maybe not. >> that's possible. >> bill: keep it simple. loopholes were found by john roberts in obama care. >> yeah. >> bill: and by anthony kennedy in the prop 8 california situation. loopholes. not what the constitution really intended what say you? >> first, i say welcome back, we missed you, secondly, let me tell you we are a nation of laws. not loopholes. and that the court has become a more politicalstituti. i think he is trying to make up for things that have been done in the past that weren't so popular. when it comes to the gay marriage issue, there is a constitutional principle here, 14th amendment that says we all as americans have equal rights. you can't vote in texas because you say this is a tradition or this is my religion to take away my rights. if that's the case back in '54 they would have taken away the rights for blacks

to go to school with whites? bill what happened? '96, juan why wasn't this challenged then on constitutional basis? >> we don't know what would have happened. >> bill: it wasn't challenged then why anyone, all right? but now now suddenly something has changed now bill clinton is a bigot as reid says and all the other people bigots. traditional marriage tenet that they felt strengthened the country. mary katharine ham, what about my loophole theory? whack they find the little loophole. you don't have standing to bring suit standing against the suit. you struck it down. that is just absurd. >> the issue of stand something is not absurd point in saying are you looking for a way out of this. the justices have been thrown to -- i will say on

the doma issue and i agree with you about the healthcare decision being a stretch on the doma issue it does seem like the loophole such that it is that they depend on is federalism, which is a pretty solid constitutional. >> bill: you are getting too pinheady here. federalism nobody knows. this is very simple. all right? juan, in obama care here is what roberts did, it was 4 to 4. roberts said, you know what? the punishment, it's really not a punishment, it's a tax, okay? it's not a tax. everybody knows it. if franklin and jefferson were alive today they would have known it it roberts pulled it out of the sky saying can i justify my vote saying it's a tax and congress has a right to levy taxes. okay. that's a loophole, juan, do you not understand that. >> not only do i understand it i agree with you.

let me just say i think he made a decision based on what he thought was in the political best interest of the court. >> bill: but that's not his job. that's not his job, juan. >> i agree, i'm just telling you you went a step too far. you turn the knob just a little bit too far when it came to the gay rights decision. >> bill: no, no, no. it's the same thing. >> based on constitutional right. >> bill: i don't care whether you think it's based on constitutional right. >> the constitution doesn't matter o'reilly? >> no. no. it doesn't matter in this debate. the debate we're having now is that the supreme court has put aside its mandate to uphold the constitution. if juan they had said what you say that gay marriage is a constitutional right. if they had the guts to say that then i would have said all right, they are interpreting the constitution that way, okay? but they didn't they didn't. they found a loophole you

are agreeing with me. >> when it came to dome marks they say the federal government has to give rights and benefits as they did to everybody else. >> bill: okay, juan, can i shred that argument in 10 seconds. >> go right ahead. >> bill: anybody that wants to get married in any way shape and form, mormons if they want to be big polygamous again. they all have a vision and they don't want their rights denied. sure, juan. you can't limit it to two people. you can't. once you open the door, then everything comes under the tent, am i right marry catherine? >> i disagree with how that's going to go down and we will see how it place out by the courts in the future. i do agree with you there are issues here where it looks like the court is making political decisions that doesn't seem like a safe decision in the end with the doma decision at least you seem to be happy with the idea that you can hash it out on a state level and i agree with you. >> bill: that's where it

should be hard out. are going to say this isou bigoted than president obama was bigoted 14 months ago. that's not a healthy way to go through the democratic process. >> bill: so juan understands it, here is the con. the supreme court rightly says the states should decide because that's what freedom is but california even though you decided twice in favor of traditional marriage, we're throwing that vote out because we found a lop hole that the people behind the proposition don't have the right to challenge the judge who nullified the vote. bs. >> no, not at all. >> yes. yes. loophole. it was a legal referendum under the state of california. it was a legal vote. and a legal referendum. i have got to imonchts you said it was too political. now they are not political and you are still upset. >> bill: next on the rundown brit hume on why so many republicans are opposing immigration reform.

later, the trayvon martin case the very latest from the courtroom and bernie goldberg will analyze the

>> bill: hume zone segment tonight. as you may know immigration reform passed the senate last week by a vote of 68 to 32. trouble in the house. a number of republicans say they will not vote for a bill that provides a pathway to citizenship no matter how difficult for illegal aliens. expected to begin sometime? july. brit hume joins us now. you don't believe if republicans kill immigration reform that the party itself will suffer national elections, correct? >>. no what i'm saying is that members of the house will not suffer very much if at all if they oppose this bill. and, by the way, the issue is not the path to citizenship. the issue is making illegal aliens legal in this country before the security

measures that the house republicans support are in place and certified to be effective. >> okay. but i think that issue is taken off the table by the 13 year. >> no it is not. here is the reason. >> let me explain what is in there now and then you can explain the objection. what is in there now in the senate is that nobody gets a green card, all right, which is tantamount to citizenship where you can work legally wherever you are in any state until at least 13 years have passed. and then a number of things have to be met in the bill and if they aren't met, then the whole thing dissolves. go ahead. >> the problem is that before any of those security measures is put into place, there is something called -- there is a provisional legal status that nearly every immigrant in america who is here before the beginning of 2012 is -- can get. that's not a green card. and it doesn't put you on the path to citizenship. >> bill: right.

it's basically they can't throw you out. >> brit: it means you are allowed to stay here and work legally. before any of that is put in place. >> bill: you have to register, you have to 'pay a fine. you have to pay any back taxes you have to do a whole bunch of cureldzs. >> you have to do a couple of hurdles. >> bill: what i'm saying to you is this. number one, i think you are right the individual conservative republicans who would vote against the immigration reform in their own districts would probably not be hurt. they would probably be helped. the republican party in a national election would be hurt because it's going to be spun and purr -- perceived by many latin american voters that it's. >> anna: at this latin american play. >> that would be true. >> bill: would be hurt and would be hurt severely if it's perceived that way. number two, it seems to me that the house, hume, if you go down there and wise them up couldn't improve on the bill in the sense that there had to be demonstrable improvements

in apprehensions, seizures, all kinds of things before the stair step begins. and i think that could happen. so the house should make it a better bill. >> well, i think that's what the house will in effect try to do. let me make just a couple points about this business about presidential elections and lat teen know vote. clearly the latino vote was helpful to president obama in this last election and clearly mitt romney did exceptionally poorly among those voters. but he also did very badly in terms of turnout and in terms of the vote he got from white voters, which while they may be over time may be shrinking percentage of the vote overwhelmingly turnout of the electorate. their participation was down from four years ago. that hurt him. and if republicans are looking to improve their standing with the broad electorate, they need to do better among the kinds of white voters that they

lost. >> bill: that's true. not going to do better by alienating a voting block that's going to try him around 16 to 18%. bit. >> brit: maybe so, maybe not. remember, some of these people who didn't turn out for romney thought he was, you know, a businessman and a big softy and they. >> bill: romney's fault. >> maybe so. and, look, i think he should have fought back and i think the obama campaign did a pretty good job of damaging him. i would still get to the point when you are talking about the latino vote you are talking about something 10% or less of the electorate. when you are talking about the white vote something on 70% of the vote. white vote declined and the. >> bill: en masse support a public repudiation of the immigration bill. it's not. it's going to be divided down among party lines and a whole lunch -- bunch of things. independents support immigration reform. so it's hard to quantify the white vote. what i'm saying is this: this country is founded on

fairness. that's how we're founded on. that's what i'm saying in the talking points memo this ties in with that we're not a nation of loopholes. that's what we have become. we have got to get away from that. all right? it's not all the illegal alien's fault. okay, that the government looked the other way for 30 years and big said come on in and they let them come in. let's be fair about. this and i think the house can make it a stronger better bill, but i think it has to be done. last bill. >> personally, i would vote for the senate bill. personally. i think the country needs immigration reform and needs it badly. i think the provisions in this bill that allow more scientifically trained mathematically trained, engineering trained people and matt matt particularly trained people to stay in this country these are all things good in the economy and badly. all i'm trying to assess is the hard political realties of the situation. and they are two fold. one, that the reports of the republican party is

likely death if they don't pass this bill are greatly exaggerated certainly as far as the house of representatives are concerned as you and i both agree now, house members ife very little to fear they don't pass this bill. >> bill: they should pass for the good of the nation. >> i hope they do. >> bill: for the good of the nation and they can make it better. thank you,. >> you bet. watters world talked so some recent immigrants to america taxi drivers. the trayvon martin murder trial who is winning. how the press is covering the trial. are they still convicting george zimmerman? we are coming right back.

>> bill: impact segment tonight. the trayvon martin murder trial. cable news going heavy on

the cases because of the racial angle. as you may know many in the liberal media have already convicted 29-year-old george zimmerman for killing 17-year-old trayvon martin on february 26th, 2012. today, jury heard some testimony that zimmerman gave the police. >> tried to sit up and that's when he grabbed me by the head and tried to slam my head down. he put his hands on his nose -- on my nose and his other hand on my mouth and he said shut the [bleep] up. that's when my jacket moved up and i had my firearm on my right side of my hip. my jacked moved up and he saw it. i feel like he saw -- he looked at it it he said you are going to die tonight mother [bleep]. and he reached for it. he i felt his arm going down to my side. earm and shotd it and i just him. >> bill: joining us from sanford, florida where is he following the trial judge andrew ferrera. >> what's the most important thick that's happened so far. >> on the trial i would say the most important testimony that's come in

has been the testimony of john good. john good is the neighbor. closest thing to an eyewitness that we have in the case who was the closest to the fighting between trayvon and zimmerman. he specifically makes the defense's self-defense claim. he says he came outside and saw the white male on the bottom dressed in a red jacket that was george zimmerman getting pummeled, it looked like by trayvon martin who was on top of him dressed in darker colors. he also says he believes george zimmerman was the one yelling for help and those observations of his are actually confirmed by other evidence in the case or at least supported by other evidence in the case. george zimmerman had wetback with grass on it which indicated he was on his back you have another witness who came outside and george zimmerman said i yelled for help. nobody came and i had to shoot him. all these little pieces are coming together to build a self-defense claim. the problem is we are on the prosecution side of the case. the case should be really looking strong for the state. and, instead, every day it seems like the state gets one point, and the defense gets one or two. so we can't imagine what

will happen getting on the defense side of the case. >> bill: when good was cross-examined. did he -- did they make any inroads to his credibility? >> they did. they made a few inroads because he was not favorable clearly not somebody who likes lawyers let's put it that way. difficult witness for the prosecution and the defense. didn't want to give an inch. what that has resulted in is the defense has now put the theory of self-defense in front of the jury and florida law, once you present the theory of self-defense by any evidence, it becomes the state's burden to prove it wasn't self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. they haven't gotten anywhere near that at all. on top of they have to prove ill will. second degree murder. every witness they have asked that too the defense has been able to elicit that even the homicide detectives that testified today and other officers have said they interviewed zimmerman and found no traces of ill will, hatred or spite. in fact, the elite homicide

said today mentored african-american students he realized there was no evidence of profiling in this case. every day just gets worse and worse for the state. >> bill: i think the state's strongest evidence may be that the 911 operator told zimmerman to cease and desist. apparently he didn't. and that is going to be a fairly big part coming down the road. right? you are absolutely right about that something very emotional to the public. hear most tweets about this case people say why did he he get out of the car. why didn't he follow him and listen to the 911 operator? legally it doesn't hurt the defense at all because the 911 operator's instruction of we don't need you to do that or even stay in your car is not a lawful police order. so he is not violating any law when he does that. >> no it goes to state of mind, judge. it goes to state of mind. if the prosecution is going to contend and they are.

that this man had. >> anna: must toward trayvon martin because of his color and he was a stranger and he shouldn't have been there and he was told by an official not the to follow him and he did, there had to it be a reason why he did. that's what the prosecution is going to, you know, try to get across to the jury. >> sure. they can try to claim that the problem is that to the extent that they want to claim that his state of mind was evil in some way, not listening to the instruction of the operator doesn't do that they have to prove a lot more than that. >> no. >> the racism angle that they have been trying to play. the racism angle got thrown in their face because the state's witness rachel jeantel who was their star witness actually said that trayvon called zimmerman a crazy blank cracker. >> bill: i understand. we are going to get with that bernie goldberg. i only have 10 seconds here. do you think george zimmerman is going to take the stand. >> i don't think he has to take the stand at this point. here is the thing if he gets convicted of a lesser

of manslaughter it's actually as bad for him as getting convicted as second degree murder. that might be the state's intention all along. throw out othe big charge and settle for the lesser. >> bill: why as bad as the big charge wouldn't get as much time. >> pretty much. because manslaughter in florida is 15 years because it was under 18 the manslaughter charge carries 30 years. >> bill: then it would be. >> also with a firearm he gets 30 years. absolutely. >> bill: we will continue checking with you. thanks very much. as mentioned bernie goldberg will analyze press conference of the trayvon martin murder trial. is it still mostly unfair to the defendant. then, what to do about russia protecting nsa leaker edward snowden? colonel ralph peters has a strong opinion about that we hope you stay tuned to those reports.

>> bill: weekdays with bernie segment tonight. purveyor of bernard goldberg.com.

the focus on the rachel jeantel. >> describing the person is what made you think it was racial? >> yes. >> that's because he described him as a creepy ass cracker? >> yes. >> so, it was racial, but it was because trayvon martin put race in this? >> no. >> you don't think that's a racial comment? >> no. >> you don't think that creepy ass cracker is a racial comment? >> no. >> bill: after that al sharpton said. this. >> the attacks that i have heard on rachel jeantel have been nothing short of offensive to any american that wants to see young people, teenagers, people that are minors do the right thing and come forward.

>> bill: so, bernie, sharpton, does he have a point? >> well, you know, race is the thing that never -- it's the wound that never quite seems to heal in america. i think that's partially at least because people like al sharpton keep poking at it when he talks about attacks on rachel jeantel he is not talking about any kind of attack. is he talking about a racial attack. now, what al sharpton considers an attack others might consider legitimate questions. for instance, is it okay to question her credibility? or is that a racial attack? is it okay to question her attitude on the witness stand or is that proof that white people don't understand black people? is it okay to wonder how she could not think that creepy ass cracker is a racial slur or does she get a pass simply because she is a black person? these things are all troubling to me. and as i say, race is this

wound that never quite seems to heal. i don't want to hear lectures quite frankly from somebody like al sharpton who has done more to divide americans based on race than just about anybody else on tv. >> bill: all right, jamie foxx the actor? >> that's not to say that in a nation of 310 million people there aren't some racists who don't like rachel jeantel because she is black. >> bill: i think that number is insignificant. when you have a witness on the stand who makes a controversial statement that she doesn't believe that description was racist, you have got to question it it now, jamie foxx, the actor, he wears a trayvon martin t-shirt or sweatshirt to the bet awards. again, this is promulgating the racial aspect of the story that if zimmerman gets acquitted somehow it's injustice. and i think that's what's driving the national media covering this story, correct?

>> i completely agree. there are some people who say na race has something has something to do with this wall-to-wall coverage on cable tv. i don't agree he with that it doesn't have something to do with it. it has everything to do with it. if this were a black-on-black crime, this wouldn't get three seconds on national tv. let alone three weeks or three months or whatever it turns out to be this is the great american drama. here you have a victim who is a black teenager who was unarmed. and here you have the shooter, who is perceived as white. he is actually a light-skinned hispanic but close enough, so you have this great american drama where liberals in the media think it's still 1965 in mississippi, is a black man ever going to get justice? is a white man going to get away with murder again? this is how the story is being portrayed in part. >> okay.

but in the african-american community there are many people who believe that justice is stacked against black americans. and so they buy into the narrative that you just described because of the history of this country. and it's just like o.j. simpson. you saw a lot of for instance, even though the evidence was overwhelming against the man, when he was acquitted they were happy. and so you never -- i don't think you are ever going to get away from that i will give you the last word on it? >> no. we have an ugly racial history. it is 1965 in mississippi. and i understand why black people may be -- may still think that way because of what they have gone through in this country. but white liberals feeding into this aren't doing anybody any good. it just -- we have made a lot of progress since 1965. and i think we have to realize that it's not then -- it's 2013.

we're not the same country we used to be. there is far less racism than there used to be. we have to being a knowledge that. >> bill: all right, bernie, thanks very much as always. we when we come right back, putin protecting the nsa leaker, what should the nsa do about that. jesse watters talked to some new york city cabbies, who have a big stake in immigration reform. those reports after these messages.

>> bill: thanks for staying with us. i'm bill o'reilly in the factor follow-up segment tonight. apparently the nsa leaker edward snowden still in russia being protected by putin. the chinese let snowden leave hong kong but now is he in some kind of protective custody deal in moscow. joining us from washington the author of the big best seller cain at gettysburg. 150th anniversary of that

battle. lt. colonel ralph peters. what do you think putin is going to it do? number one, why is he giving us jadz on this and, number two, what's ultimately going to happen? >> well, putin is having a great time jerking obama's chain. there is no question about that. he loves to do it. he is playing the national card. but putin is not going to give edward snowden asylum. they are questioning him. snowden is trying to make him happy, i'm sure. he wants asylum. for putin, wants the russians have the intelligence the same as the chinese. liability. downloaded his computers, told him to hit the road. putin is going to hang on longer and question him. eventually he will hang on. snowden is a liability. snowden bottom line. edward snowden the nsa leaker thought the world was going to declare him a hero and welcome him with open arms and kiss him. he is stateless man.

nobody wants him. even the president of ecuador edward was talking big. even is he backing ooff. >> you can forget about. >> yeah. >> bill: putin is an interesting deal. pew continue is not afraid of obama. we both agree with that. >> oh no. >> going to do whatever he wants to do. i'm not sure where it gets putin to tee off not only the president but all the american people, the senate, the house, all of the people, we don't like putin. because we know putin is trying to humiliate us. so we don't like him. so where does that get putin? i mean, i don't think it gets him anywhere, do you? >> i think putin just enjoys it he is an autocrat. he is having a good time, bill. >> it doesn't get him anywhere. >> putin doesn't think that wait a minute the chinese are rationally analytical. putin is having a good time. in end he will move edward snowden along. snowden will probably end up in the murder capital of

the word, venezuela, possibly tehran, iran where his pole dancer girlfriend may not want to join him. there is poetic justice in the world nobody wants edward snowden. >> bill: his life is over. merkel and the french are all mad that snowden said the u.s. is eavesdropping on you and all of that we both know the colonel and i we are in this world. canada and all of that. we want to know everybody is doing. listening in on this. french aren't eaves drops on us. it's a show. it's politics. >> >> perform brotherhood not doing a good job. morsey, they want him out after a year. why? why the egyptian

morsey? >> well, because morsey screwed up everything he could screw up. this is really wonderful news. it's the best news out of the middle east in the last couple years, actually, because the muslim brotherhood in egypt, out of power so long thought they saw the chance to grab power forever. unlike the creepy islam islamsing of turkey wouldn't talk to the opposition. became bullies overnight and the people rejected him. the economy is in the tubes. tourism is dead. >> it's all about the economy. let's see so. comongss by the way in egypt. >> law and order breaking down. >> look at this. millions of people in cairo. so, most people in egypt under the age of 30 don't work in a straight economy. they have, you know, they make money different ways. so there is unemployment is through the roof. tourism is dried up. nobody is going to go there. though don't want to get a bullet between the eyes of

these fundamentalists running around. morsi has nowhere to go. the cop pick coptic christians don't like him. doesn't seem like egypt has the fund mntlist base as pakistan does to keep the brotherhood in power it looks like the secularists are going to win here. >> moderates. morsi has alienated not only secularsists moderate muslims. law and order has broken down. there are no jobs there you have talked about this. right now this is healthy. this is civil society coming out and saying we don't want muslim brotherhood's version of islam to run this country. >> bill: that's a good thing. >> for sharia law. >> bill: the army is going to have to take it over again. that's probably what's likely to happen. real quick on your book about gettysburg. the bloodiest battle in american history fought on our own soil. and you -- there is a million books about

gettysburg, colonel. >> yeah. >> bill: why should i buy your book? what's different about it. >> it will give you the human factor of what those men went through more accurately and better than others. it's a very good read. and thanks the american library association just yesterday gave it the boyd award for the best book of 2012. >> bill: good for you. it was the turning point of our nation as far as war is concerned. >> george mead saved the union. >> bill: absolutely. that george mead, man. nobody even knows who he is these days. colonel, thanks very much. watters world on deck. jesse talked to new york city cab drivers about immigration reform. this is great. wait until you hear about. this i will tell you about my trip to ireland last week up ahead.
