what my grandparents and parents wanted for me. a better america for you, tomorrow, thank you for coming. give yourselves a big hand. that is the time we have left this evening. thanks for joining us. we'll see you back here soon. gretawire.com. good night. the o'reilly factor is on. tonight -- >> way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable and the way to make it accountable is to make it transparent so the american people can know what decisions are being made, how they are being made and whether their interests are being well served. >> the press now pushing president obama for his lack of transparency. >> if vladimir putin were doing something like that, you guys would mock it. >> can the love affair with the president be over? white house correspondent ed henry has the latest. >> as i talk to people around the world, it was a sense like, if you guys can't get your act together, we need to de-americanize the world.

>> sounds like hillary clinton is eyeing the white house. so who from the gop could defeat the democratic darling? we'll look at some interesting new polling. not trying to rob them or anything. >> and the knockout game, where young black men attack innocent bystanders and post the assault online. tonight we'll hear from one of those teens and what he says may shock you. caution. you're about to enter the "no spin zone" and "the factor" begins right now. hi, everyone. i'm laura ingraham in for bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. obama and his masters of control. that's the subject of tonight's talking points memo. last night we talked about how senate democrats supported by

the president changed the filibuster rules to limit the rights of the senate minority party. and now a new domination move. this time, limiting the right of the people to get an independent view of president obama while he's conducting official business. 38 of the nation's largest news organizations, including fox news, have lodged an official complaint against the white house for instituting onerous new invitations on photo journalists covering president obama. access to important executive branch functions is being shut off so that the white house can turn around and release its own official video or photos to journalists, kind of like producing it. sounds like propaganda. fox news ed henry raised this at the white house briefing yesterday. >> or say that you're providing more access to the american people, you're shutting off independent journalists who want to cover those events and you're having people who work for the president actually cover the events.

how is that independent? how is that more access for the american people? >> i think i described that there are certain circumstances where it's not feasible for independent journalists to be covering the president. i think the best example of this would be in "the situation room" at the white house where the president is talking about -- it's not feasible for us to have independent journalists in the room. >> how is that disruptive to -- >> let me finish my answer, which is, it's just not feasible in those circumstances. >> now, to some extent every president tries to control his image. but if the press began to turn a more critical eye on obama and his policies this last year, the white house has moved more aggressively to limit access and circumvent scrutiny. and let's not forget, by the way, that obama justice department secretly seized records of james rosen and the associated press.

you're only seeing what they want you to see. this is a far cry from what barack obama promised in its first day of office. >> let me say it as simply as i can. transparency and the rule of law will be the touch stones of this presidency. >> those of course were just words, like you can keep your own health insurance policy under obama care. it didn't happen. but look on the bright side, the mainstream press is finally waking up. and that's the memo. now on the top story, reaction. joining me from the white house, ace correspondent ed henry. okay, ed, good to he sue you. you were ruffling some feathers yesterday but it's not just you. we have this whole press association, 38 press outlets, all of the cables signing on to this letter, really lodging a complaint against the white house. >> sure. >> and then an amazing admission, ed, by the president

saying we've been enablers of this white house. we have to admit it. we've been enablers. wow. >> i think journalists are realizing they've got to stand up, whether it's a democrat or se, and demand more access. in the clip you played a minute ago, the press shouldn't be in there when there's national security information being talked about in the situation room. of course, no one is arguing that there should be a camera in there when they are running the osama bin laden raid. the white house claims that they are having their own official photographers and videographer to present sort of the -- >> state-run media. stayed-run media. >> now, if that were just going on on its own and the media was still getting access to the news events, fine, do what you want. but the fact of the matter is, sometimes -- not all the time but sometimes the official administration-run media, i'll let you use the other phrase, is

replacing independent journalists like myself and other networks from going in and asking the president direct questions with our own cameras, our own notebooks and so instead it's being replaced by administration officials who are paid by the white house and by taxpayers who are obviously giving a more friendly account of how the president is doing. >> ron fornier mentions this in his piece, the mandela visit, that the white house was off to the reporters but in other words they produced their own coverage. they have their own twitter feed. that's paid for by the u.s. taxpayers. people are managing that being paid by us. >> and they should be able to use the tools and that is fair game but i was on that trip to south africa and there was a lot of push back about not letting reporters in the cell with the

former president and his daughters and within a few hours or a few minutes they released an official photo with the president and one of his daughters in that very cell. so if it was such a private moment that the press couldn't be in there, then why would the white house release a photo? it's obviously not a private moment, then. >> and other things have happened, not official but events that are staged or produced to put the first lady in the best light. i don't really blame them for doing this but i think it's gone to an incredible level. remember michelle went to target, the first lady went to target and they brought the white house for thing photograp capture her being at target, she's just like you, nothing different. that was staged management. >> that was staged management. i should point out, it was not an official a.p. photographer which might have been worse, it was an independent journalist going in along for the ride for

that staged event. >> that's the enabling. the press willingly did this. >> right. and we should point out that the official white house for thing to photographer putting out pictures worked for ronald reagan. they would let the official photographer in as well as our independent cameras. sometimes, not all the time, but the problem is the official record from inside the administration is replacing the independent record from journalists and that's not fair. >> but think about back in 2008 and 2007, right, they had harvey weinstein, spielberg. i mean, they've been producing and managing huge events for a long time. the difference here, ed, is that the news has turned against the president and the press has gotten more critical and so the white house really wants to do more to limit those people who are asking him tough questions. that's what i think it is. >> well, because if you put an

official photographer in or a reporter in, they will not ask about health care but an independent journalist might. >> ed great to see you. >> thank you. a new poll shows that the president's approval rating, speaking of that, is at an all-time low and the gop is actually gaining influence. we'll take a look at that. later, we'll talk to the 13-year-old girl accused of 13-year-old girl accused of bullying a classmate [ eeping ] [ male announcer ] you hear that?

in the "impact segment," obama care is taking a toll on president obama. according to a new cnn poll, 41% of americans approve of the job he's doing. 66% disapprove. that same poll shows republicans getting a bit of a bounce from the health care mess. when asked who will have more influence over the direction the nation takes in the next year, 50% said the republicans and

congress. joining us to analyze from new york, republican pollster, kelly ann convey and here in the studio democratic strategist chris co-fine nas. let's start with you, chris. bad news for the president. we found out that in california the exchange continues to produce disappointing numbers in the enrollment figures. they are down. they are staying about the same as they were before. they wanted an uptick. mostly older people finding out, 20% under the age of 34. what's your take on where this is going to go? >> well, in terms of the poll numbers? >> for the president and your party. >> i think the numbers are going to stay low until people see better news when it comes to obama care. >> when is that going to happen? >> at some point it will.

there are positives. a lot of people with pre-existing allowed to stay on their plan. children up to the age of 26 allowed to stay on their parents' plan. because of the website, because of the individuals being kicked off their plan -- >> these people are getting on the website in california but the people signing up are not the young, healthy vigorous people that need to be in the exchanges for the risk assessment to make sense. that's a substantive problem, not a technical problem. they are signing up but it's the younger people not signing up. >> people in massachusetts, people did not sign up until late. granted, if we're talking about this come january or late february, then i think we've got a major problem. i think the questions of what needs to happen become much more difficult. >> kelly ann, i just get this feeling when i looked at people yesterday like mark pryor on the floor of the senate, he just looked like a defeated man. democrat arkansas up for tough re-election battle. who knows, anything can happen.

you keep thinking it's going to stop. it's going to stop. but every day there's more bad news. the administration is going to make an important delay of obama care enrollment next year. but your take on this california deal which is being mirrored in places like new york. >> it is. and in fact, laura, about five million plus people have their health insurance policies canceled and 206,000, according to government statistics, have successfully enrolled. now, we're in the holiday season. americans know it's a bad deal and they are starting to see obama care for what it is, it's not just a bad website. they are starting to see for the first time in history forcing us to buy a product that we don't want or don't need at a price we can't afford. when people heard reform early on, they would tell pollsters, i like that idea but they didn't think they needed it. now they are being asked to pay a fine or higher premiums for it by losing their own coverage. you can't introduce this level

of uncertainty into something that's private and intimate as health care and expect there not to be a public backlash. that's why this issue has stickiness politically if i'm mark pryor or mary landrieu, i may consider deequifect from th president. >> they may have a lifeline, kofinis, because now they have put off the enrollment deadline. this is one of the most cynical moves i have seen in a long time. they put off the enrollment deadline for 2014 so it won't kick off until after the election. that way most people won't see the premium increases until after the election and they claimed today this is so people could have more time. oh, come on. that is embarrassing. you can't say this is not a cynical move. >> the lifeline -- listen, elections are always a choice.

>> two weeks later he would have won. do you think he would have won if it was two more weeks? >> yes, he would have. >> no. you cannot lose women voters by that percentage. >> he lost by 9. romney lost women by 13 in virginia. >> elections are about choices. and if the republicans put up candidates that alienate women -- >> listen, women are the chief health care offices. when they look at obama care, they see the real war on women. it's a war on my right to choose whether i keep my policy, a state exchange that allows me to have a 50-state true health care system in this country where you can sell policies across state line. let's talk about that. excuse me -- >> whether you like it or not it does more for women in terms of preventive care and birth

control. >> it's a great sound bite but 53% of the people being polled are females. a majority of women, laura, are disapproving. this is huge. look at the disapproval. the majority of women -- >> i would say -- chris, i'd like to feel empathy for the democrats but i'-- >> let it pass, laura. >> i sound like chris christie. that's what he said the other day. but at some point reality has to settle in and trump ideology otherwise you truly are the fanatics that you claim the tea party is. >> i'll be the first one to say, at some point, i don't care if you're republican or democrat, there has to be good policy. there's never been a policy passed by congress and signed by the president that didn't have problems. the question is, what do you need to do -- >> not like this. not in two decades of polling, not like this. >> the american people will look back and say, good. this is great. if it doesn't, then you guys will have a field day. i'm not ready to give you that

yet. >> chris and kellyanne, there's not a political solution to every problem. some of them are substantive. appreciate it. you guys have a great weekend. directly ahead, with president obama's leadership in question, what lessons can you learn from jfk. and hillary clinton is sounding very much like a presidential candidate. is she already running for the white house? we'll analyze in just a few moments. i got this.

in the personal story segment tonight, the nation took time today to honor president john f. kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his assassination. ♪ glory, glory hallelujah

>> you may remember that america faced tough economic times during mr. kennedy's short-lived presidency and he proposed tax cuts to help jolt the economy. >> such a bill will be presented to congress for action next year. it will include an across-the-board cut in personal and income taxes. it will include long-needed tax demands and it will base that cut in taxes to take effect as of the start of next year. >> music to my ears. so can president obama learn any lessons from jfk or has today's democratic party just changed too much? joining me now from dallas, university of virginia, larry savato, the author of "the kennedy half century." professor sabato, earlier we

were playing clips on foreign policy and you hear those words and it sounds more like a republican today yet he was a democrat and there's a lot of debate over his legacy. the obama administration hasn't done that pivot to the middle that bill clinton did i, which is more kennedy-esque. could he learn anything from it and do something? >> i think he ought to given where he is right now. he's in the 30s in most polls and still has more than three years as president. he's got to try to engineer a comeback. one way to do it would be to look at the substance of john f. kennedy's administration. not just the rhetoric. he was a mixture of philosophies, as you know, laura. he was liberal in some areas and eventually getting liberal on civil rights. he was conservative on others. you mentioned the tax cut policy but also his economic policies generally were rather

conservative. he was concerned about budget busting, for example. and then the muscular foreign policy he believed in a tough posture towards america's enemies. it was a mixture of philosophies and that's how to keep a bipartisan coalition behind you or at least your own party plus independence. >> when you look at somebody like a bill clinton, he grew up in arkansas, obviously governor of arkansas, the great middle class and middle america. he kind of had a sense, you know, of the people. i'm not trying to lionize clinton but he had a certain sense of what america was, even though he was a little more liberal. when he got shellacked, he was humbled. he was brought down a peg or two and he changed. you do not get that sense of this administration. there's no pivot here. in fact, the filibuster removal, push forward on obama care, push the deadline back to make it

look better, there doesn't seem any movement. >> you know what's interesting in what you just said, 2010, that is the tea party election, the republican sweep in the house of representatives. that did not have the same effect on barack obama that the republican revolution of 1994 clearly had on bill clinton. again, there's another democratic president even though, as obama said, he can take clinton in small doses. well, one small dose that he maybe ought to take is a look back at how clinton dealt with the aftermath of 1994. >> where are the kennedy democrats today? >> a lot of the kennedy democrats became reagan democrats and eventually reagan republicans. >> right. >> and really reagan, laura, had a lot to do with that. one of the subjects i cover and spend the most time on in the kennedy half-century is the incredibly shrewd policy

strategy that ronald reagan had for attracting kennedy democrats, using john f. kennedy's own words. ronald reagan quoted john kennedy more than any other modern president, which sounds incredible but it suited his needs perfectly for tax cuts and a tough foreign policy. >> great to see you, professor. thank you so much. and plenty more ahead as "the factor" moves along this evening. could a republican beat hillary clinton in a 2016 presidential matchup? a new poll has interesting results. and also ahead, we'll talk to the teenager accused of bullying a classmate into suicide. she said she did nothing wrong she said she did nothing wrong and may sue the sheriff who ...so you say men are superior drivers? yeah? then how'd i get this...

i've always tried to give it my best shot. these days i'm living with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. at first, i took warfarin, but i wondered, "could i up my game?" my doctor told me about eliquis. and three important reasons to take eliquis instead. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three... unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis ifyou have an artificial heart valve abnormal bleing. while taking eliquis, yomay bruise more easily and it m take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk

if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. in "the factor" follow-up segment, hillary clinton seems to be setting a stage for a presidential run. >> as i talk to people around the world, it was a sense like, if you guys can't get your act together, we need to de-americanize the world, which was a phrase used by a high-ranking chinese official. that is not good news for us. that is a very unfortunate conclusion. so we have to pull ourselves together. >> democrats seem to be in agreement that the former secretary of state is their best bet for a 2016 victory. and a recent nbc news poll shows 66% of them would vote for her in a presidential primary. just 14% backing another

candidate. so when will she officially throw her hat in the ring? with me now, richard goodstein, a democratic strategist and former adviser to hillary clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. boy, time flies. five years, we're back here again and hillary clinton is up there talking about the chinese statement. they say maybe it's time to demeanori de-americanize the world. too bad she's not in a position of foreign policy or power to have changed that. oh, wait, she was. she was secretary of state. does she have any role in this? >> any way you cut it, she is incredibly qualified, seeing this era of peace and prosperity and she had a role in that. she was a senator who was a workhorse and not a show horse. and as secretary of state, look, she traveled widely, as you know. and the fact of the matter is, take russia. i've heard you make fun of the

recent -- were it not for her position with russia, we wouldn't be taking the chemical weapons out of syria. we wouldn't have gadhafi out of syria. i think she has a lot to be -- >> not, bret hume said the idea of mrs. clinton is wonderful as it was in 2008 but the reality of mrs. clinton is weaker. it's a weaker record to stand on, especially as secretary of state. when you look at the arab spring, when you look at really our relationship with russia, russia's closer to china than russia was five years ago. china's stronger, that's for sure. china feels like it can with impu impune tea it's time to de-americanize america. she's an incredible speaker. i completely grant you that. she's obviously really smart.

but the idea that america has gained standing in the world, america's stronger than it was five years ago on the world stage, every poll, most countries have a lower opinion of the united states five years into this. >> well, ask any businessman who has a u.s.-based company that's global. would they rather be doing business around the world today or the day that george bush left office? even before that, the fact of the matter is i think the u.s. kind of assessment in the world was degraded before president obama came in, before hillary clinton came in as secretary of state. >> but it's gone down. britain has a lower opinion of us, germany has a lower opinion of us. >> everyone thought in these glorified terms when barack obama came in, domestically and internationally, that he was going to be the saviour. he's a human. we have the s.t.a.r.t. treaty that we wouldn't have without hillary clinton. the fact of the matter is, her

record is rather formidable. >> of course, i didn't mention the little problem of not taking really any responsibility in a meaningful way for what happened to four americans the night of september 11th, 2012. that night and the failure of the administration really to let the sunshine in, for people who understand what happened, i think that was a window into whether it's management style or the urge to cover up, i don't know what it is. i think that sticks with a lot of people. maybe they blow it off. i think her comment, what difference does it make, i think that comment's going to live on. >> which was totally about the politics. it wasn't indifference to those people. look, laura, the fact of the matter is, this reminds me of republicans making a lot of to-do about you didn't build that. they thought this was a game changer. >> it's an important issue. >> we've had 18 hearings.

>> where was she the night of september 11th, 2012? do you know? why wouldn't she be interviewed by the accountability review board? if mrs. clinton is completely in the clear and was at the helm that night and directing the operations and getting these counterterrorism task forces together, why wouldn't she be interviewed by the accountability review board? >> the answer to that is she was under oath at that committee and if they had a real serious question that they wanted to put before her, they could have and they didn't because they knew there wasn't anything -- >> that was the independent assessment, though. that was the investigative body that was set in working with congress. she wouldn't be interviewed. >> well, in view of the whole public she was at the senate hearings. if they really had something on her, they could have questioned her. give it up, as your friend. >> 6.7 trillion in debt, that's her former boss. great to see you, as always.

we'll see what happened? into when we come back, we'll talk to one of the teenagers accused of bullying rebecca sedwick to death. she may sue the sheriff that brought the charges in the [ male announcer ] introducing new fast acting advil. with an ultra-thin coating and fast absorbing advil ion core™ technology, it stops pain before it gets worse. nothing works faster. new fast acting advil. look for it in the white box. would you like apple or cherry? cherry. oil...or cream? definitely cream.

thanks for staying with us. i'm laura ingraham in for bill o'reilly. we continue our coverage of the tragic death of 12-year-old rebecca sedwick who killed herself last september after a year of vicious bullying from her classmates. joining me now is one of the girls accused of being the bully and her mother and jose baez is also with us. i want our audience to hear what sheriff grady judd had to about you. >> if you still believe it, why is the case going away? >> because we rest on probable cause and the state prosecute's beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. had we taken these two kids to juvenile court, we would have ended up with the same outcome,

contrary to what kaitlyn has been coached by her very slick attorney, she apologized in person. we have texts where she admitted that she bullied and beat up our victim, rebecca, who ultimately jumped to her death. >> are you a bully? >> no. >> what was your relationship with rebecca ann sedwick? >> me and becky used to be best friends and i got pressured into not being her friend anymore. >> and you got pressured online to write things about her or say things about her? did you get pressured, katelyn, to say things about her that you otherwise would not have said? >> no. >> did you ever write anything about her at all on facebook that was unflattering or maybe mean-spirited that you might regret today?

>> um, well, yes, i did. and i wish i could take it back. but i'm trying to move on from all of this. >> michelle, you're katelyn's mom and sheriff judd came out and he said that, look, we have probable cause, charged your daughter and another young teen and what happened then in your life? >> my daughter was arrested from just basically what sheriff grady judd did. this is a horrible thing that happened to rebecca, but these were two -- it was a typical teenage fight. this was not a year-long bullying session. this was an isolated incident that happened and could happen to anybody's child. this isn't something that continued for a year and that was a torture of another child. it was a simple schoolyard fight.

it was not aggravated stalking. this was two children having a disagreement. >> michelle, do you -- i'm a mom, too, by the way. so do you monitor what your daughter -- did you monitor what she did online? were you aware of her relationships online and did you monitor her facebook page as a mom? >> sadly to say, i'm not educated in online. i don't even have a facebook. but -- >> do you think that's smart as a mother of a young teenager not to know what she's doing online? we have child predators out there. obviously all sorts of things can happen online. and sometimes you're making dinn dinner and the kids -- but that's a problem, right, for all moms, for everyone out there. >> i think that is a problem for all moms but if katelyn had really done something so horrifying, so horrible, she would have come to me because my daughter would have come to me and told me there was a problem. >> how would you know? >> she would have told me. >> so you didn't know of any

problem between rebecca sedwick and your daughter? >> i knew they had a fight in school. i knew that other kids were unhappy with rebecca because of another child in school. >> uh-huh. >> it was a childhood fight. nothing to the extreme of what has been said, has occurred, nothing like that. no. >> and rebecca's parents are now planning to sue you and the other teen, whose name we're not going to mention. michelle, what's next? she's going to sue you for negligent supervision and on "the o'reilly factor" just now you admitted to not supervising your daughter online. >> i didn't say i didn't soup advise my daughter online. i said i wish i knew more online. i -- i can't say that i'm -- that i'm smart enough to know everything about that. >> jose, what's the liability potentially here for your clients? bullying happens every day.

mean things are said every day. but with young girls, sometimes they are impressionable. they have other problems. complicated factors here. a negligent supervision claim, how do you defend against that if your client just said two times on television that she's not smart enough to know i guess navigate or monitor the web with her daughter? >> well, let's start with the facts. you can say all you want. but here are the facts. katelyn and rebecca had a fight in school almost a year ago. there were some words exchanged between both parties and the friendship ended. katelyn feels horrible that she got into a fight with her friend. not a single web post, facebook post, or text message that had anything to do with bullying occurred over the last ten months. this child -- this child committed suicide based on obviously other factors.

now, to -- just because the sheriff wants to say it's so doesn't make it is so and the prosecutor has proved that by not even filing the charges. we worked with them closely. we went through the evidence with the prosecutors and there wasn't a single thing. we asked for one -- >> were there any facebook postings at all, jose? >> zero. >> nothing on her account or texts? >> well, that's significant. >> you can say she's a bully and call her all kinds of things. >> i didn't call her anything. they did. >> the sheriff can call her a felon and an attacker leak he did last night on your show and any other name he wants to call her. that doesn't make it so. he's a grownup. he should know better, especially when the prosecutors are not willing to back you up in your own town. and those are the cold-hard facts. >> civil and criminal liability are different. the standard of proof is much lower and it's a different deal. >> but in a court of law you need facts and there are no

facts. they can file whatever they want. it will be thrown out. >> thank you. on deck, a teenager in jail on deck, a teenager in jail for playing [ eeping ] [ male announcer ] you hear that? that's the sound of car insunce companies these days. here a cheap, there a cheap. everywhere a cheap... you get it. so what if instead ofjust a cheachoice, you could make a smart choice? like esurance for example they were born online and built to save people money

from the beginning. that's what they've always ne. not just somhing they...cheep about. that's insurance for the modern world. esurance. now backed by allstate. click or call.

in the back of the book segment tonight, fridays with geraldo. the knockout game where predominantly young black males attack young people and post the assaults online is starting to get media attention. in one case out of lansing, michigan, a station interviewed 17-year-old marvel weaver serving a year in prison for knocking a man out in january. >> reporter: weaver said this wasn't the first time he played it. before he was caught, he and his

friends had attacked people on several occasions. >> not many, i would say overall, leike six or seven. we p don't try to rob them or anything. that's the gail. >> reporter: according to weaver, it's not gang related. teens are playing it because they're bored. and they've been seeing others doing it and getting away with it on the internet. he says he used to play it because he was usually dared, high and with a bad group of friends. >> if somebody throws out there, okay, we going to play this and few people go along with it and one thing leads to another and -- just goes downhill. >> joining me now from new york to react, fox news anchor geraldo rivera. this is so heartbreaking and so sad and there's so many things going on here. washington post had a big story in metro section. two women appear to be victims of these knockout game attacks. interviewed a young boy who was 10 years old who had tried to,

you know, be the attacker and couldn't knock down a person. i mean, i don't know what we say about this, but it's predominantly black as we reported last night and as others reported. and predominantly against white, asian and sometimes jewish victims. >> in new york they call it "punch a jew" or polar bear, again for the race of the victim. but i have to say that in new york hours ago, an arrest was made for the latest incident, the eighth attack on a jewish victim friday. today they arrested four of the alleged perpetrators. and three were latino and one was asian. so for the first time these more notorious cases that appears the assailants were not black. where does it come from, laura? my goodness, i guess the origins are "mortal combat" or these video games. why is it spreading, where are

the dads? why are the children committomm acts? >> boredom. we had a guest on last night who said we have to ask a question about why these kids have so much time on their hands. >> that's too easy. >> i guess they're bored. a lot of people are bored, but -- >> really, if you're bored, you go out and take a hobby. i don't think it's boredom as much as it's the quest, the desire for notoriety. what makes this big story now bigger than ever is the fact that their youtube postings, they've gotten as much as 1 million views because they have their moment of fame. they have their instant of infamy. they can have one of their cohorts having the -- you know, having their iphone or taking video somehow. they get the shot of the cold cocking of the victim. >> celebrity culture, thug culture and fatherlessness and

no role model. >> and taking life as a game. life is now a great big video game. it always comes back. >> it's heartbreaking. geraldo, this charles manson story, i know you interviewed manson back in 1998, but now this woman has told "rolling stone" that she's going to be marrying charles manson, obviously, convicted murderer. >> she's 25, he's 79. he's obviously serving a life sentence for the engineering, the helter-skelter murders. the one good thing, there are no more congical visits in california. they did away with them in 1996. i think the bigger question here, and i think it segues into the previous segment, why is manson so charismatic to this new generation?

i remember when manson was the biggest selling t-shirt in the country. he has this -- this dark appeal to young people that is in its own way more disquieting or as disquieting as the attacks on the street. >> geraldo, thanks so much. and a quick reminder. christmas is quickly approaching and now is the time to get gifts on billoreilly.com. please get the orders in now. the cutoff date will soon be here. and on deck, our favorite video of the day starring vice president joe biden. do not miss it after these messages. gh bells♪ the bass pro shops 5 day sale starts wednesday with huge savings on great gift ideas. like bass pro logo hooded sweatshirts for only $10. ladies 5 pocket jeans for only $10. and a wildgame rage 4 game camera with free viewer
