suing the widow of american sniper chris kyle. is america becoming a mean and ruthless country? we'll debate it. also, tonight in the state of california says children can legally have more than two parents. also in colorado, some counties now want to secede from that state. caution, you are about to enter the no-spin zone. "o'reilly factor" begins right now. hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching tonight. the brawl continuing over obama care and the government shutdown that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. both sides upped the rhetoric. last night talking points suggested a one-year reprieve for folks who don't want to buy into it this surrounding the implementation of it and the waivers the president granted to

some business concerns. this morning republicans echoed ha. >> if you're having a hard time using obama care's broken website, you shouldn't be penalized for not signing up this year. very simple. that's all we were asking for. a one-year delay of that tax is more than fair given how poorly the rollout of obama care has been. >> now, a few hours later president obama replied. >> what we haven't been able to get are serious positions from the republicans that would allow us to actually resolve some core difference, the greatest nation on earth shouldn't have to get permission from a few responsible members of congress just to keep our government open or to prevent an economic catastrophe. >> the core difference as the president puts it is this, republicans believe obama care as it has developed will drastically harm the country. democrats believe the exact opposite, and the democrats have the law on their side.

but mr. obama opened the door to some changes with the waiver deal. once he did that, a legal battle began. the obama administration says it has the legal authority to grant any health insurance waivers it wants under section 7805 of the tax code. it's complicated and only litigation which would take years will settle it but i continue to hold that the president will bend and let the folks who want obama care sign up while the folks who don't want it get a year waiver because at that time one year from now, hard evidence will be available to see just how good the law is for the country. if president obama would make that compromise republicans would stop obstructing the government. the situation is getting to a point where we are the people are sustaining damage. the stock market is down. china is angry that all the bonds they hold may be in jeopardy and the worldwide economy did slowing so something

has to give but i cca can predi what it will be, that's a memo. maybe charles has a prediction. i know you've been following ultra closely. i really have no clue on who is going to billick or how this is going to resolve itself. do you? >> no, i don't and i'm sure that the leaders don't know either. i think what we're clearly heading to is a cliff that the administration cannot go over and that's the one having to do with the debt ceiling. they're quite prepared they're politically enjoying the shutdown of the government because as we saw in the polls, "the washington post" poll that came out today, 70% blame it on republican, only 50% on the president. that's a 20-point spread so that's a big deal. but when it comes to the debt ceiling, first of all, americans don't want it, even raising it with nothing in return, 58% want to see us refuse to raise the debt ceiling, which absolutely cannot happen, so the

president's on very weak ground. he can't allow it to happen because the economy will go down the tubes, and he's the president. he'll get the blame. so on that, he's got his back against the wall and he says he won't give anything, i think he will. and i think what will probably happen as a way to allow the two sides to walk away saving face is the house and the senate pass let ee say a three-week extension on the debt ceiling, and then the negotiations begin. in other words, the president is able to say, i didn't negotiate until they extended the debt ceiling and the speaker is able to say, all i wanted from the president was for him to sit down and to talk to us and negotiate over a range of issues and i think the administration would do it. the day after they were in extension of the debt ceiling so that's the finesse. >> in "the washington post" poll you cited a 70/50 which adds to

120. i want to clarify some people think both parties are at fault which is why we have 120% rather than 100. the differential is 20% more than those polled by "the washington post" feel that the democrats are not to blame as much as the republicans, but that's going to change, i think. because i put forth here and the republicans have embraced it at well a very logical compromise. no doubt obama care is chaotic. everybody knows it's chaotic and also no doubt we don't know how good it's going to be for the country because we don't know how many people are going to be paying a lot more for health care insurance. we don't know. we will know a year from now. so it makes sense to give that option, and if the president would do that, i think everything would be fine. am i wrong? >> if the president had accepted the first three proposals by the republicans about obama care we wouldn't have any of this. one was to defund which, of course, he --

>> he couldn't do that. >> and there was a one-year extension pursuant to everything which he didn't want to do and he will not agree i don't think to a one-year postponement of the original mandate even though i think it's logical. >> how do you defend that position when he's given it to some companies? >> look, i don't think it's defensible. >> you can't defend it. >> i've argued for it but he doesn't have to. he simply has to stand fast as i think he will because the administration believes that unless you have the individual mandate, the whole economic structure of obama care will collapse. if you're going to ensure the uninsured and you're going to allow sick people with pre-existing conditions to get insurance which in the past they weren't able to, you're adding enormous cost to the system. >> but you can opt out for 100 bucks. it doesn't add up, come on. >> but that's going to escalate. it's their only hope for the thing to survive have all right.

>> but a year is not going to bankrupt obama care and a year will tell the tale. if it's good for the folks, the folks will know it and they'll get behind it. if you say he won't back down he won't give the republicans anything. he can't possibly. do you think the republicans and boehner will surrender. >> look, i'm trying to agree with you that it would be a good idea. >> he has to give them something. >> yeah, but it doesn't have to be this and he won't do this because -- >> what is he going to give them. >> it's central to his signature achievement and i think they're concerned that if you give it up for a year you may never get it back in which case obama care will collapse which would be okay with me but not -- >> what is he going to give them. >> that will depend on what the republicans demand. there are all kinds of things. you know, there's a fundamental choice. are they going to ask for a concession of obama care or are they going to ask the traditional republican demand which is to reduce spending, fiscal restraint and all that

kind of stuff which has been what they got in the previous negotiations on the debt ceiling and on continuing the resolutions. i'm not sure the republicans even agree among themselves over which is going to be the demand. >> all right. i mean i think if they don't get anything on obama care it's a win for the president and that's what -- i don't know if boehner will go for it. listen, high drama, charles, and we appreciate you coming on tonight. >> it's going to get even hairier as we approach the debt ceiling and the markets will begin to tank. >> you're right. >> the president will have to give. he will have to give. it's not clear what they'll negotiate. >> if it gets much worse i'll have to come down and move in with you. you got a guest room, right? >> i got a guest room but the rent is pretty high. >> i'll put in for a government subsidy. next on the rundown a new political ad that says democrats are very nasty people. is that out of line? then is america mean and ruthless? some disturbing things going on.

the standoff over obama care has turned nasty. both sides using rhetoric laced with vitriol. a new republican ad spotlights the democrats. >> i call the legislature arsonists. they're there to burn down -- >> the republican inmates are running the asylum. >> what we're not for is negotiating with a person with a bomb strapped to his chest. >> if you can have one child without cancer, why wouldn't you do it? >> taking hostages. >> the hostage-taker. >> i believe it's political terrorism. >> they are not holding your children hostage. they are trying to blow your children up. >> here to react monica crawley and alan colmes. shouldn't everybody tone it

down? >> i think so. it is almost like -- holding something hostage to another piece of legislation is a typical expression. nothing terrible about saying that. >> a lot of that stuff is angrily -- >> yeah. >> yeah, it doesn't help at all. what do you say? >> i'm probably going to take a contrarian view because -- well, i think -- i think it's fair play because we've had this language used in politics since the beginning of the republican. founding fathers were talking about each other, talking trash so it's always existed. the distinction is here if you're talking about a talk show host, that's one thing but the president of the united states, the senate majority leader, the house northridminority leader t he different because you're talking about people in high authority positions and should be setting a higher standard. >> if you watch spielberg's "lincoln" movie and you see the language --

>> what that is what i mean. >> when they were trying to get rid of slavery, oh, my god so it's the same but there's a mean-spirited and i want to get colmes' reflection. >> you can call me out if you like. >> i don't want to go overboard. there is a mean-spiritedness on both sides. >> i think monica made a good point. >> i don't care about monica's point with all due respect to monica. i want you to reflect your side. why is it so mean? >> a lot of anner. >> why? >> there is a strong sense that there is anger on both sides and that there's a plot to hold the entire -- i'll say it, hold the entire government hostage to defunding a bill that has already been passed. >> it's a ploy they're using. why can't they just expose the ploy, the left, and say, you know, take the higher ground? why is it so angry. >> the angry people are the

obliviating talk show hosts. >> schumer and -- >> i don't know. >> you don't know. >> let me say -- >> no, no, no. no, no, no. your side and you're in the industry -- >> be civil. >> your side and you're in the talk show industry because a lot of it comes out of there. their angry. they hate obama. they heart him. >> i would take issue with that. i don't think it's a personal thing against barack obama, it's what he's doing against the country and damascus straight -- >> they're not doing it with william f. buckley, you know, president obama -- >> they are -- >> they're not doing it that way and calling him a communist and muslim. >> there are intellectuals on the conservative side like charles krauthammer. >> we're talking about your crew, okay. >> my crew. >> your crew. >> my rue. >> why are they so angry? >> because of what's happening to the country and the president -- >> but you can't be william f. buckley. >> no one knows those words.

>> i think on both sides passions run very high. i think we're in a new media world where you have a huge risch shay and echo chamber and feeds off itself so when passions are running high it builds and constantly escalates. is that a good thing? not necessarily but i don't see how you can contain it. >> i'm not containing it, by the way. i'm trying to understand it. freedom of speech extends into all this rhetoric. >> and -- >> wait. i've been guilty of being bombastic. >> shocking. >> i don't do it evilly. i didn't do it in a mean-spirited way. it was more frustration. i don't want to hurt my opponents but they want to hurt him. >> remember, politics -- >> wouldn't you say sometimes you may as you just said things come out in frustration. not because you want to hurt the opponent. couldn't that also be said by the politicians and other obliviaters we saw in the clip? they're not necessarily or want

to hurt somebody like you but frustrated at the moment. >> could be but they have a pattern of behavior that people -- the commercial features. >> let's not be so self-righteous about this. we all want to be civil and that's true and great but let's understand something here, we're all kind of part of this and when frustrations and passions run high, yes, sometimes it comes out this inappropriate ways but politics is a blood sport. it's hard ball and, you know, sometimes it comes out in ways that i'm not the greatest. >> been this way forever. >> live in a digital sound bite medium where things go viral, let this go viral. i hope what i say gets out there and the virility of it makes it attractive. >> i think high office holders should be held to a different standard. they have a certain responsibility to try bring us all together. >> nobody is bringing us together. that's for sure. attacking widows and, of

personal story segment. suing widows. auts may know jesse ventura is suing the widow of chris kyle. he said mr. kyle defamed in and former agricultural employee sherrod suing the widow of andrew breitbart for an internet beef that happened years ago. two widows have to endure these lawsuits. in addition as we reported last night some of the motorcycle gang people that attacked an suv may sue the father protecting his wife and da.

mean? off the chart. joining us is guy benson, political editor for townhall.com and in the studio lena maxwell. are we a mean country? >> yes, we are, i think we're too mean-spirited. i don't think it's wrong to sue the widows because that is a part of consequences for andr andrew's behavior -- >> i disagree with you 100%. i don't think the widows had anything to do with the action. >> part of the estate. that's how the legal process works. >> all right. but they're inflicting pain on widows. there's not enough money in the world that would make me do that. now, why? what's the why behind it? have we always been a mean country when we were slaughtering native americans and taking their land, when we were enslaving -- >> yes. >> -- african-americans so from the jump has america become a mean country? >> mean is a little too simple.

it's hard-hearted so we've done a lot of things in the past that are mistakes. in order to make up for those mistakes we need to have policies that help the least among us, you know, live by matthew:25. i think we start with enslaving people then we're doing jim crow and all types of things policywise that harm african-americans all throughout generations and we're not making up for when we started out being mean during slave -- >> mr. benson, you say? >> i say america is absolutely not a mean or hard-hearted country. i mean, of course, i'll agree with zerlina that there are instances every single day of unimaginable cruelty in this society and history is littered with not just meanness but pure evil like slavery, like the trail of tear, we have a blemished history but that does not make the country itself at its core mean or mean-spirited and i think there are everyday examples everywhere you look that prove that point. on the micro level and on the

macro level. >> let me challenge for a moment. i agree with you that america is essentially a noble nation but we don't have an outcry anymore against barbaric behavior. we used to. we don't anymore. i mean, suing widows, suing widows, the people who do this should be outcasts. you know, if they have a legitimate beef, okay. put it aside. put it aside. these women didn't do anything to you. this suv guy trying to protect his 2-year-old in a car, you're suing him. are you kidding me? all americans should rise up against these kinds of atrocities, mr. benson and that disturbs me that we're not. >> well, bill, i would argue you have the number one cable news show and you're pointing out the injustice and one of the best things about our country, why we aren't mean and are a great noble people is you and i --

>> let me ask you a question about your point there. what happens to me when i do that, mr. benson? >> well, i mean in this particular case, your guest, agrees with you. >> no, no, what happens to me is i have to have armed bodyguards if i go out in public. >> it's also because you're famous. >> no, it's not because i'm famous but because of what i said. going back to your point on balance, the united states, mean nation from the jump? that overwhelms all the good we did. >> we can always do betterment you're talking about -- >> everybody can do better. >> no, just -- >> you look at all the people we've freed all over the world and all the opportunity we give people. why do you think millions have snuck in here. come on, i think the balance is in the nobility range. i'll give you last word. >> you're talking about walking around with bodyguards. i have received death threats and hate mail and i think the most important thing for me was the people that stood up and had my back in that situation and i

think that we don't get it often enough. >> the internet is making us a meaner society. >> absolutely, social media allows -- >> hide behind their handles. very interesting discussion, guys. thanks very much. plenty more ahead as "the factor" moves along. is it legal for children to have more than two parents? some counties in colorado saying they do not want to be part of that state anymore. why? and next, john stossel saying we have become a nation of victims. whoa. we'll talk about that with him and hope you stay tuned for those reports. peace of mind is important when you're running a successful business.

honest woman. a lot of people are gaming the system. we'll talk with karl rove after you about the disability which "60 minutes" featured on sunday. is it worse now and almost like the mean discussion we had. is it worse now, people saying i'll con the government and steal from my fellow american who has to pay the taxes than it was in the past? >> absolutely, because we've taught people that you get paid off if you are helpless. we have encouraged learned helplessness. >> didn't we pass welfare reform under the clinton administration that you had to work and stuff like that. >> that took it back a little bit but at first there's a stigma and you don't want to take it then you're glad and later on you feel like a sucker if you don't take it. these programs always increase. >> i don't think that there's any public school emphasis on self-reliance anymore but i could be wrong. >> they can barely teach reading

and writing. i don't expect them to teach self-reliance. if you give people to be helpless, more will be helpless. i'm a stutterer, if the -- maybe i would have said accommodate me and stayed off the air. difficulty makes life. we want to help the truly helpless but charity is able to do that without -- >> you're of the opinion we should cut all welfare or most welfare. >> we should stop the growth. stop adding to it. it's tough to cut once you become dependent on it. this chart is the poverty rate and lyndon johnson said we'll declare war on poverty. here's when it began and sure enough the rate dropped and say look how many we lifted out of poverty in those first five years. look at the line before welfare. it was going down even more sharply. americans were lifting themselves out of poverty then we passed the law. it continues and we've stopped

progress. we taught people to be dependent. >> there is a group of americans that this is a lifestyle and the children that are born into that group, they see the check coming and that and the other thing and a crew that cons the system, sells the food stamps for drugs and alcohol and all that. does there seem to be any oversight on the whole thing? >> what you'll talk to karl rove about, disability. there are fewer people doing heavy labor now. we have artificial knees and yet more people are disabled. how does that work? >> it works because the government doesn't oversee. >> in all of your investigating have you ever seen an effective oversight apparatus in state, local or federal government ever. >> i don't know they could. when insurance companies do it, it's hugely expensive. >> a drug state. >> you can prove he doesn't have back pain or isn't helpless. the insurance companies follow

people with video cameras and catch them running around when they say they're helpless. that's expensive. >> the government can't do that. john, thank you very much. billo'reilly.com poll. in your leisure hours how much time do you spend on the net including e-mail and texting, all that? less than one hour a day, between one and three hours or more than three hours? please select one in your leisure time. billo'reilly.com. is it legal or illegal for an illegal alien kills his wife? an illegal alien kills his wife?

policy to be all over california. >> he's making it -- >> you threaten somebody with a knife and here illegally -- >> think about it. >> he threatened his own child with the knife then went in when the wife sought protection and he went in allegedly, okay, and murdered her. >> right. okay. >> the two kids in the other room. >> will we keep pointing this insanity out and on the governor of california and politicians. >> the family destroyed because of that. >> period, period. okay. colorado, when i worked there at kmgh tv was a fairly traditional conservative state. now it's not. and 11 counties, guilfoyle. >> this is interesting. >> they'll vote to secede from the state. >> they're going to vote in november because they've pretty much had enough. they would like to make their own state, okay. so the 11 have it on the ballot to be considered the county

commissioners said we want to have our chance to have our own state. >> they can't secede. >> they can't without permission. it's like you've got to ask your parents if you can stay out late. so they'll be punished but it's also there's insurmountable legal burdens they'll have to make. >> this is symbolic let's embarrass denver because of the crazy left. i heard some of these counties want to join why homeing. >> they do. >> they're like anybody but colorado, any state. >> it's a shame. colorado is a beautiful state, a great place to live but it's been hijacked by the far left. >> the state won't let them leave and neither will congress. >> governor brown is going to sign a bill that allows california children to have more than two parents legally. >> right. >> more than two parents. now, i don't know if that's biologically possibly. >> it sounds crazy. when i first looked at it -- four, ten parents but it's only if the kid is going to be harmed if they can't find that other parent so, for example, you have

two women, have two lesbians that have a child. maybe both are incapacitated. there are only two parents and only two parent as on the birth certificate but they're incapacitated. in this case, the case that brought it up, one is in jail and the other in the hospital then come as long the biological parent, the father, the donor and says i want that kid. i want to be in that kid's life and instead of going to a foster home in the state this would allow -- >> but aren't there, guilfoyle, legal mechanisms now where if you're a child that needs and there is somebody, a relative or somebody, how many grandparents are raising kids, aunts and uncles. why do you have to designate 16 people as a -- >> you could award custody, right. that's what the courts are for and they have a hearing. what's in the best interest of the child. so children are being harm in the sense they're already able to get somebody to be their custody or custodian or garden. >> an attempt by the secular forces to diminish traditional

parenting in america. if we the state think that lenny over there should be your dad, we're -- >> only if lenny really is your dad. >> a lot of extensions all over the place. >> no, under the act only if he qualifies as -- >> if you qualify. >> well, he looks like lenny. >> no, it's a dna test. >> i think we have already had legal mechanisms for this and this is another in your face to traditional parenting. >> they're saying -- the state can saying they're trying to do it to have further financial responsibility for the care of the kids. you can still only have two parents on a birth certificate. >> we should have five or six. all right, ladies, thank you, if you want to read a fun book check out "fatal tie" by lis wiehl. an enormous disability scandal and honest folks like me and you are paying for it.

back of the book segment, the big disability con. last week "60 minutes" reported on it. we've been telling you about it for years. 20 years ago in june 1992 there were 3,300,000 receiving federal disability payments. 0 years late their number is a record 8,733,000 workers on disability. so why has the disability rate increased more than 100%? i'll tell you why. it's a con. it's easy to put in a bogus disability claim. yes, it is. a senate subcommittee headed by tom coburn released a report that said many claims are fabricated. the question tonight is why is this happening?

joining us from austin, texas, fox's analyst karl rove. so, why, mr. rove? >> because people can do it. i mean, senator coburn's investigation, they randomly chose 300 applications that had been approved and found evidence in a quarter of them that there was fraud. i mean the case that coburn put the spotlight on involved an administrative law judge who is the person who has to grant these applications who is in bed with an attorney who had a mill that literally prepared these applications, bought off doctors, five doctors in order to give the diagnosis and then they coordinated their schedules and this administrative law judge just, you know, rubber stamped these politics. >> every one, 100% in west virginia. threes the attorney. >> let's be honest -- let's be fair to him. out of nearly 1400 he did disallow 4. >> 4. >> this is -- 4. this is probably what brought him to the attention of the

inspectors at the social security administration because it was such an anomaly but the lawyer got paid nearly $5 million. the judge may have gotten paid $2 million. they put a lot of money into the pockets of a lot of money into e pockets of doctors. >> how do the judges -- how does he get paid? >> sure, he gets paid. he just got paid. he got cash from -- we'll find out more in the trial. but he apparently got paid cash by the lawyer at the end of this deal. >> so we -- >> getting bribed. and look, this is not the only instance, for example, in august, 75 people were indicted in puerto rico. one former social security administration employee, three doctors and 71 claimants, the former social security employee got paid up to six grand to fill out -- to get you the bonus application. the doctors got paid $500 each in order to give you the phoney diagnosis. most of them said they were mood

disorders. and these people got all accepted. >> all right, so how did it get so out of control? here on long island where i live, we have the long island railroad, i mean, there is a immune scandal, billions involved. almost every single person who worked for the railroad was out on disability. how did it get so far out of control? >> well, i listened to what you and stossel said earlier, that look, private insurance companies have a financial necessity of making certain they stop fraud. there are no fraud protections in medicaid, medicare, social security alone. they estimate 15% of the cost of medicare is involved in fraud. we spend $135 billion, if coburn is right, we're talking about spending $40 billion in fraudulent payments. and it is worth it to the government to put some money into fraud.

look at this pattern, bill, this ought to unnerve you. from 2001 to 2012, the social security administration disability program were up only 6%. the approvals are up 45%. now, part of this is because we do have an aging population, and we also have a lot of women who work in the work force who are aging and so there are more people who actually have a legitimate claim. but even the federal reserve bank of san francisco did a study and said you can't explain at least half of this -- >> you believe it has to do with the liberal administration basically creating and saying it is okay to be on the dole? you know, because they have created an entitlement state here. >> yeah, maybe you missed it. but in june there was a congressional hearing in the house where these administrative law judges, about 1400 of them

at social security, said we feel the pressure is on for us to erase the back log by rubber stamping them and moving forward. there is a sense there is a problem because of this back log. and look, bill, there is one other fundamental problem with this. this program was designed in 1973. and at that time if you had a disability, in all likelihood, you wouldn't have the advantage that people have today of both physical therapy and medical devices to help you get back. so it is a lifetime benefit, you get up to $300,000 a year. so should we redo the disability situation, and retrain you so you can have the dignity that you were at before. >> by the way, we'll be attacked for being anti-sick people tomorrow. >> i'm happy to be in the fox hole with you. >> tip of the day, one nice thing, the tip, two minutes away. if you think a prune is a prune, you haven't tried sunsweet, the amazing prune.

factor tip of the day, one nice thing in a moment. but first, mr. riley, congratulations on 17 years with the factor, i used to watch you on the news in portland, oregon, and will continue to watch you until one of us dies. well, let's hope that is down the road a little bit, eric. sharon, we have watched o'reilly for several years, being able to speak the truth with authority is a gift. sharon, i appreciate your loyalty. so i'll send you two tickets to see miller and me saturday january 18th. show is almost sold out. i hope you enjoy it. john bine, colorado springs, mr. o'reilly, what is the secret to the factor's success? authenticity, john, we're real people here. where do people get the money to sue the bikers?

they don't need money, jay, there are many lawyers hoping to get a percentage after the settlement. it is an industry that is greatly harming america. and the recent attack by the bikers on that family illustrates the need for "stand your ground" laws. deborah, juan williams says 80% of americans will have no changes in health insurance, my changes went up 80%. one says my wife has a pre-existing cancer condition, her premium went from 40 for 80. we received hundreds of letters like those. tennessee, o'reilly, in the discussion about obama care, juan williams ate your lunch. sure, he did. did you enjoy the kool-aid with your lunch? just finished killing jesus, and like killing kennedy and

lincoln, i couldn't put the book down. lou edwards said i wasn't going to read "killing jesus," thinking i knew all about him, but i did. using the romans as a back drop brings an entirely new perspective. and as an ordained minister for years, i believe that "killing jesus," has been informative, i appreciate that. and singapore, first time i watched the o'reilly factor was in zurich, switzerland, i continue to watch, some of my friends are speechless, but bill, i think you're islamic-phobic. i spent a lot of time in islam, and even used a muslim source in killing jesus. in fact, millions of people all over the world are using

facebook, chatting about whatever. used responsibly, facebook can be a great way to communicate. now, as a tip i suggested we do something kind for a senior citizen, send them a card, visit, just to be nice. senior citizens in america deserve to be respected. so the tip tonight is this, do something nice on facebook. offer a suggestion like i did. use your imagination like i did. encourage your face friends -- is that what they call? face friends, to do something nice, do it every week with a different suggestion, the world would be a better place. factor tip of the day. and that is it for us tonight. please check out the fox news factor website different from billo'reilly.com, and check it

out. o'reil o'reilly@foxnews.com. and i used this word on a police officer, i said don't be a jackanaps, almost putting on cuffs. thank you for joining us, remember, the spin stops here. so we're definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight on the kelly file, one of the worst stories of shutdown shame. >> the families of our fallen soldiers now being told there is no money to bury those who died fighting for our flag. and wait, it gets worse. plus, in another slight to our military, world war ii vets told they were not welcome here. but look who was. >> nancy, did you visit the vet memorial today? >> not yet. >> are you going? >> so how could all of these people go to an immigration rally on the very same piece of property they were barricading last week?
