left this evening. before we go, record "hannity" the series each week night at 10:00. start your day with ainsley and fox and friends first. we'll see you back here tomorrow night. thanks for joining us. answer that poll. the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> where are you planning on building a presidential library? why your home country of kenya. >> that's a ridiculous question. >> was it ridiculous to president obama to it appear on a comedy web site. the white house says it was done to promote obamacare. some say it was a mistake. we will hear both sides. >> they set up a lot of hoops, making us pay for insurance that we don't want. telling us nothing to see in benghazi. nor at the irs. nothing amiss. not even a smidgen. >> after sarah palin appeared in a conservative conference, the far left started calling her names again. things like moron. why does that continue?
8:01 pm
crowley and colmes will analyze. >> a stunning turn of events in a murder conviction against michael skakel. >> and cable star nancy grace being accused by accused killer michael skakel. is it legal is investigating. >> also ahead, the latest on the very strange jet liner disappearance. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ >> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. using comedy to promote obamacare. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. two weeks ago, before putin invaded the crimea, president obama did an interview with comedian zach on a web site called funny or die. the interview was a farce and some believe it was demeaning. >> what is it like to be the last black president?
8:02 pm
>> seriously? what's it like for this to be the last time you ever talk to a president. >> it must kind of stink though that you can't run, you know, three times. >> actually, i think it's a good idea. you know, if i ran a third time it would be sort of like doing a third hangover movie. it didn't really work out very well, did it. >> where are you planning on building a presidential library in hawaii or home country of kenya? because both places seem like they would be -- >> -- zach, that's a ridiculous question. >> do you know what i would do if i were president, mr. president, i would make same sex divorce illegal and then see how bad they want it. >> i think that's why you are not president. and that's a good thing. >> now the president did the interview to encourage young people to sign up for obamacare. today, the white house spokesman jay carney echoed that. >> i can assure you that the funny or die video will be one of the reasons we get
8:03 pm
young americans to healthcare.gov one of the reasons we get americans to enroll in health insurance programs but not the only one. >> all right. so that's the rationale. comedy show raises some questions. first of all, i don't really have a problem with it in general: i think the timing hurts mr. obama, the timing continues to be problematic and putin is clearly testing the president. it looks like putin believes the president is a light weight with a comedy will a comedy video counter that? just asking. the affordable healthcare act is dubious to say the least. using a comedic web site to enroll people is a little bit desperate, don't you think? i'm all for pr and if carney wanted to go on funny or die, fine but the president of the united states? all i can tell is you abe lincoln would not have done it. there comes a point when
8:04 pm
serious times call for serious action. we're a divided nation which talking points believes is in decline. mr. obama is quick, has a good sense of humor. those are assets. but he needs to be aware. he needs to be aware of how his enemies perceive him because i believe the testing of america is just getting started. >> and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction. joining us from washington chris, a democratic consultant from nashville, tennessee chip, a republican strategist. you are up first. what say you? >> well, i get where the president was trying to go and the video was kind of funny, like you said, we are at serious times and there are serious problems. and at a time when russian troops have strategic assets outs their borders. european leaders are unsure where to go. they are looking to the united states and our president for leadership and get a stand up comedic routine. it's bad optics all across the world. >> we have to be fair, this is before putin surprised everybody by going into
8:05 pm
crimea. apparently the cia did not know about it which is kind of disturbing. what do you say? >> i think they have a god sense of humor and understand what the purpose of this was which was to it obviously i think raise awareness to young people about the enrollment deadline a in terms of if we owe political implications i'm not really worried about vladimir putin watching two ferns. i think that is he probably more concerned about zach's hangover iii movie. >> why aren't you concerned though? don't you believe that putin believes himself that president obama is not a formidable opponent? don't you believe that? >> i think that he is testing the president like he would test every president. like he tested president bush prior. like he would test every single president whether he was republican or democrat. >> you are not answering my question. don't you think putin thinks that obama is a light weight? >> no. >> what evidence formulates that opinion? his body language is
8:06 pm
contempt for the united states. his i will do what i want and f you attitude. you don't -- i mean, you think he is going to do that to somebody who is going to hurt him? >> i think he has his agenda. and he is going to pursue that agenda regardless of who the president is. >> do you think that he sees president obama as a strong leader? do you really? >> i don't think he thinks the president is strong because i don't think he thinks any president is strong. i think he is clearly pushing the president's buttons and the challenge and the challenge here that president obama faces is organizing the ally, the european allies and our interests to put as much pressure on putin to get out of crimea. that's that is the challenge. >> i hope for the country's sake. look, let's get back to the presentation. as i said, look, do you an interview. i do lots of interviews outside othe fox news channel. they are for a reason. to get publicity for projects. maybe its charity. maybe it's a book. whatever it may be
8:07 pm
mr. suldzman and i go on. we are comedian, i josh and mix it up with them. but i don't go certain places. i won't go certain places. because i know they are looking to hurt me and demean me. funny or die is a liberal web site. but i don't think watching the body language there that mr. obama was prepared for him being as cheeky as he was. >> i'm not sure anybody can prepare for zach. anyway, at the end of the day what you said in your talking points was right. this was below the office of the president of the united states. yeah they are 40% short of their goal to do obamacare. at the end of the day this is way beneath the office of the presidency. show a little big dignity when you are trying it be funny. this is not good. >> we had three at the end of the days there. so you have to donate 30-dollars for wounded warrior. we have a fine for anybody who says that we can't be doing that i know you are a big wounded warrior supporter mr. as you will seeman so you won't mind.
8:08 pm
>> happy to donate. >> isn't perception important in this world with the crazy north korean guy, the mullahs in iran, putin running around topless and killing tigers or whatever is he doing on thursday right now don't we have a perception problem in this country? >> i would say yeah, there is perception. clearly element we are talking about international politics bill if you want to make a point about perception, you can be fair to criticize republicans and others who basically are openly criticizing the president during an international crafs. i think it's fair to criticize the president but b. what show he is going on or not. if the president was going on, you know, this show to talk about crimea or any kind of serious issue clearly this a parody. clearly he was trying to raise awareness young people. >> quick to both of you and i need a yes or. no okay? i do you think if he had to
8:09 pm
do it again he would do it again mr. sulsman. >> i would hope not. >> do you think he would. >> i think he understands the american people have a sense of humor, bill, just like you do. >> listen, the lines were good by old zach. but i don't think he would do it again. i thought he was caught a little bit unaware on that. could be wrong. gentlemen, thank you. good debate. next on the rundown, president

>> do you support owe oppose >> if the europeans back out, should the. in s a sanctions alone. is first i want to get your take on -- >> richard nixon laugh in, sock it to me. i think nixon set the bar about as low as it can go. i find myself generally undisturbed by she's kind of -- i'm not sure that the russians care one way or the other about what obama does on the internet. what they care about is what he has done in geo politics.
8:14 pm
what makes them have no respect for obama is not a minute and a half of sketch comedy with this guy. it's the fact that obama comes into office. he appeases the russians by canceling a missile defense agreement with the polls and the checks unilaterally by the way. he then goes ahead and does a reset with russia which the russians understand is a complete give away to them with no quid pro quo and then they watch his stunt on syria. where he says there is a red line. he threatens to attack and then he clearly finds himself in a box and he boxes down allows putin of all people to come in and rescue him with a phony deal about chemical weapons. once you have got that they don't give a damn what show he is on. it has no effect whatsoever on the perception of obama around the world. >> okay. the poll was interesting
8:15 pm
because it doss doesn't cut across ideological lines in the sense that there are a lot of conservatives who don't want to mess with russia. a lot are supporting aggressive action against putin. it's all over the place and evenly divided. you are president obama, what do you do to putin? you have got to make a statement, i think. and the president is very quiet this week. what do you do? >> no, i think he should have made a statement. he shouldn't have been out there playing golf. i mean, he plays a lot of golf. and i don't begrudge him the rest. this is not the week to play golf. >> is he playing golf in key largo and then biden was playing golf in the virgin islands. >> remember, after obama made his first statement on the invasion, he went right away within 30 minutes he was in a pep rally for democrats here in d.c. and declared by presidential decree that it was happy hour. that's not exactly a serious
8:16 pm
presidential response. >> why do you think he does this stuff? he is smart enough to know the perception guys like you and me why are you playing golf for when you have a crisis in this area. he knows that. what why does he do it. >> it's kind of arrogance. he thinks he has a good foreign policy. is he simi delusional about the results of these five years. there is not a spot in the world you can go from syria to libya to iran to china, to russia it's not worse off. less regarded, considered weak than it was five years ago. this is a completely failed foreign policy. and he seems radically unaware of that. >> is it all about power? because cheney and bush were very agrfb fnt they were aggressive in foreign policy. i mean, don't mess with us. it didn't really work to our
8:17 pm
advantage because some would say and i think there is a point to be made here. they were overly aggressive, particularly in iraq. or is there something else that a president has to have to make other people respect this country? see, look, i agree that we're not better off foreign policy wise than we were when president obama took office. >> we are worse off. we are a lot worse off. >> okay. i don't think there is much argument there, i really don't. he tried the kindler gentler, he tried the we are all in it together it didn't work. not working in afghanistan and syria. not working in north korea. it's not working. all right? i don't know if you get a bellicose guy like cheney back whether that's going to make any difference these days. >> let me give you one example much the other president who was rather weak in his foreign policy was jimmy carter. until the russians invaded afghanistan. at which point the scales fell from jimmy carter's eyes. you remember what carter did
8:18 pm
right away? he elm posed a grain embargo on the soviets. he boycotted the olympics. the most important step he did was send brazen ski. increased aid to the mujahideen. bled dry until they limped out of afghanistan. what scares me is given the same kind of shock watching russia invade another country, obama's scales remain on his eyes. the stuff he has been saying this is 19th century behavior in the 21st century as if a turn of the calendar has changed human nature and the international system is now a gentleman's club is absurd. it's what he said in his first u.n. speech. you could attribute that to being naive. he has been around now for five years. he sees the wages of
8:19 pm
weakness and he does not understand that he is now feeding the bear. >> all right. well, he has got to do something. the vote in crimea is already, we know, the fix is in is on sunday. and you expect something done after that soon after that all right. charles, as always, thank you. and the doctor's book. things that matter still a mega best seller. directly ahead, where is that malaysian jet liner? it's a huge mystery. i think there is something wrong here. not just a crash. we'll have the latest. then stossel on the war on women. he says it's bogus and stossel says he can prove that. factor is coming right back.

airline flight 370. four days since the plane disappeared in asia on its way it to beijing. can iner remember an airliner disappearing like this. joining us from washington is scott brenner. let's brun this down. you have never seen anything like this either, correct? >> have not. >> so the latest wire out of that labor shah in the military basically is running the investigation, the plane is on a straight shot to china then all of a sudden in the middle of the night it veers west it veers west in big way. >> right. >> it crosses malaysia and it goes toward the indian ocean and then it disappears. now, to me, that is not an accident. all right. so somebody flying the plane is doing that on purpose. it's almost like the 9/11 guys when they took the plane out of boston and they rammed it down here, okay. it looks to me like something along those lines happened. do you agree. >> do i agree, bill. i think even more troubling than the direction of the
8:24 pm
plane is when somebody turned off the transponder on the aircraft. >> what is the transponder. explain what that is. >> the transponder is on basically every commercial aircraft and it provides information to air traffic control about who that aircraft is, where they are flying. what their altitude is and what their speed is. >> is it a recording or is it like a fax thing or an internet thing? >> no. it's a live, emitting device that is broadcasting the profile of this aircraft. >> almost like radar. >> yeah. >> and everybody can can receipt it. so somebody turns that off. that can't go off accidently and it can't break, right? >> no, absolutely not. especially in this aircraft. this is a 777, nine years long. basically brand new aircraft in the aviation world. these are not designed to go out. even you have two power failures, you still are going to have a third system set up to make sure that these things continue to function. so somebody turned that off. turns that off o.
8:25 pm
and now it no longer is identifiable aircraft. it's a small blip on somebody's radar screen, if they are paying attention to that again, we are talking in the middle of the night. is he probably beyond radar distance by now. i is an hour out. so they don't really have radar that goes that far. so he right now is nothing but a blip that may be appearing on somebody's screen. he not only turns off the transponder, he turns off another system on board the aircraft called the akar system. that is a system continually feeding information to the air carrier's home base, giving it an update on how the aircraft is performing. so you turn off both of those things, you have got somebody who has got some bad intentions. they turn to the west and start complying allegedly very low. now, again, we are getting information drip by drip from the malaysians here. they knew from day one that this aircraft -- this radar track existed and, yet, all
8:26 pm
they said was we may have some information that shows the airplane turned around you either know it do you not know that they had all these folks out there spending hours and hundreds of millions of dollars not hundreds of millions but a lot of money looking at an area where they well knew that there was no aircraft going to be found. and you know why would they do that? perhaps they are sensitive about potential terrorism or being identified with terrorism or terrorism happening. >> well, malaysia is a big muslim nation and they have terror groups there operating. there is no doubt about it and the government is fighting those terror groups so, yeah. summing up and again this is educated speculation. >> yes. >> there is no way on earth this is an accident that just happened. something went wrong like the french plane out of brazil that flew into the atlantic ocean. >> glit that didn't happen. this is man made thing. somebody on board was doing something wrong and now only
8:27 pm
god knows where it is. they will find it but right now that's where we're. >> yep. absolutely. turn left and then who knows where it is now. >> thank you very much. we will follow, of course, the story for you. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. sarah palin once again being personally attacked after her speech at a conservative conference over the weekend. is it legal on nannies grace being sued by accused killer michael skakel. we hope you stay tuned to those reports. in the new new york, we don't back down. we only know one direction: up so we're up early. up late. thinking up game-changing ideas, like this: dozens of tax free zones across new york state. move here. expand here. or start a new business here... and pay no taxes for 10 years. with new jobs, new opportunities and a new tax free plan. there's only one way for your business to go. up. find out if your business can qualify at start-upny.com

8:32 pm
differences, there are good reasons for it let's just take two. we have got the wage difference and president obama says often women make only 77 cents for a dollar and he knows this is deceitful. his own labor department did a study and said it's really 95 cents. >> i thought it was 92 cents. it's up to 95. >> 9 a cents based on different choices we make. we men may be more work aalcoholic. women may be smarter. make better life decision. and the remaining 5% may be because men are more likely to ask for a raise. we are more aggressive in the workplace. >> okay. but it's not any huge gap. >> and it's not caused by discrimination. and if it were, women could start -- women only companies and they would get rich because they would be cheaper and out sale the men's company. >> and also, there are laws that if you don't pay women what men are making for equal jobs, can you get your
8:33 pm
butt sues and those lawsuits are legion. they are everywhere. >> but the laws are not the answer. >> no, i'm not saying that i'm just saying that there are ways to, if you are really getting hosed to go to. all right. give me a second one. >> it's terrible that doctors -- that insurance companies were charging women more for health insurance and nancy pelosi says we he are no longer a preexisting condition under obamacare. everyone is charged the same. and that just sounds fair to people. the idea that insurance companies discriminate against women or anybody sounds terrible. but that's what insurance is supposed to too. women go to the doctor much more often. the cdc says even if you take out pregnancy visits, they are 33% more likely to go to the doctor. so, it costs more in medical payments. men, by contrast, pay more for health insurance because we are stupider and get into more accidents. we are more aggressive. >> but, i'm a little confused. who pays more on average? men or women for health
8:34 pm
insurance? >> it used to be women. >> it used to be? >> right. >> but it's not anymore? >> under obamacare that's illegal and the insurance companies fold. >> even though women use the medical system more than men -- >> -- right. >> all right. their premiums can't be higher anymore. >> right. >> they all have to be like. this right. >> so you are basic saying that this is wind up for political reasons, this war on women? >> right. insurance is supposed to reflect differences, provide ensignives. how about life insurance? he we die sooner than women. should women have to pay as much for life insurance? no, they pay much less. >> they pay less now. >> they pay less now. >> even under obamacare. >> they haven't got -- >> they haven't got there yet? >> we men are the victim class that they are looking to make hey on. >> you -- hay on. >> you are going lay this out on the fox business channel. >> we will celebrate the difference because it is real. >> john stossel when we come right back, is it legal on nancy grace being sued and new stuff about the chris

8:40 pm
if they are innocent. >> they are not going to though. their lawyers are advising them and probably rightly so. >> do you think the courts will say they don't have to hand over the emails. >> the only way the courts will say you don't have to it hand over the emails is in the legislative committee says we will give you immunity anything you hand over to us. that would be enough to turn over. won't happen here you. >> these are the two big targets. >> they're the ones that could lead to christie if they flipped and said hey, the governor and this is speculation. >> of the alleged crime. >> if the the subpoena went to the governor's office, then the governor could order them to hand it over, right? >> the governor could order. but, still not those personal emails. >> not. >> will always protect them. >> you can't connect. so the fifth amendment right here is probably going to be in violation. >> the bottom line is it is stemmed me right now. >> the story is basically where it was.

back of the book segment tonight. the villeification of sarah palin continues. over the weekend she gave a strong anti-obama speech at a conservative conference in washington. >> he promised to heal the planet. stop the rise of the oceans but the planet is not listening to dr. obama. [ laughter ] and the only thing rising in his la la land is the russian empire.
8:49 pm
i'm sorry, but really, i am probably being too hard on the president. after all, who could have seen this coming? [ laughter ] well after that speech governor palin was called a moron among other things by left-wing media people. with us is monica crowley and alan colmes. colmes, i don't understand why this continues to happen do you understand it. >> i don't favor calling her a moron. i don't think that accomplishes anything. i think some of this criticism is justified. she quit her job as governor. if she were a serious policy person and serious about running for office oshe would have studied the issues. >> why don't you criticize her on that basis. i want to get the behind calling the woman names which is done by the left all the time. do you understand that? >> yes. i mean, do i -- no, i don't favor it. i'm not going to favor. >> do you understand it? >> i think what i'm trying to explain to you is because

she seems to be one thing and does something else. she doesn't seem to -- she says things that are not true. she says things to rev up the crowd as you saw. >> give me an example of something she says. >> she said at cpac, for example, there were more uninsured people since obamacare came into play that's absolutely untrue. >> is that untrue? >> i don't know. i can't answer that. >> do you know why they attack sarah palin personally? >> i have a good idea. i think because, from the beginning when she first emerged on the national scene, sarah palin represented an exis only threat to the left. she was a smart, hip, gorgeous, funny, conservative who actually walked the walk as well as talked the talk. so in other words she was progun. she was pro-life. she was very pro-family. she wasn't on the vice presidential ticket. so when she emerged basically out of nowhere and got on the national ticket, they realized that they had a real problem on their hands because if she were aloud to really gain traction, especially with

women, the democratic party would be toast. therefore, they had to destroy her. the fact that they continue to try to destroy her tells me that she is still incredibly influential as she was in that i do might speech. >> i don't know if it's influential. there is something about her. >> continue to take her down. >> there is something about her that gets the left furious. >> do you know what it is? i can tell what you it is. not only is she conservative that walks the walk and talks the talk. she looks like she is having fun doing it. she was having a blast giving that speech. and that drives the leftist insane. >> i don't think it's a left right issue. this is a woman who chose money over continuing her job as governor. libel how offensive that is to jews. doesn't seem steeped in an understanding of what she is talking about. >> if that's true you can go after her on those issues. >> i do. i agree with you. >> without getting personal. if you think back on the resume. i'm certainly not going to do that here. the things that have been said about her and her family, i can't think of any

american politician that even comes close. even bush the younger who is vilified. >> obama with a birth certificate and marxist and socialist. >> all of that isn't your kids. that is not your kids. >> should and reality are two different things. she is in a class, sarah palin, by herself. she is the most vilified politician in this country by the left. and i don't really understand it because she doesn't have any power. >> and she is not running. >> other than -- other than she gets attention. >> right. doesn't have any legislative power. >> that drives them crazy as well. she is not running for anything. this is not ted christie or ted cruz or marco rubio. as far as we know she is not running. why do they continue to go after her. >> i don't know. >> she still gets under their skin. all the vicious names they call her don't effect her at all. that makes them under. >> the way you stop a good

guy with a nuke is get a good guy with a nuke. is that what our policy should be in ukraine? come on o. >> again, you debate what she says on the merits of that. >> i agree with you. >> you don't go in and call her names and call her children names and cast aspersions on her in ways that are despicable. >> that's correct. the left can't stop. they are compulsive. >> the left as if the left walks in monolithic way. >> colmes, everyone who criticized her. everyone and i'm not going to mention their names because i don't want to empower them was on the left every one. >> yes, and it happens on both sides. >> no it doesn't happen on both sides. when sarah palin gave her speech. everyone was. >> vilify people on the left. >> colmes. all right. thanks very much. factor tip of the day. are you a cheapskate? the tips moments away. ♪

factor tip of the day on being cheap in a moment. first, i want to tell you about a straw poll for premium members only. who do you favor in 2016? please go to the website, make your choice. everyone is given an inkling that they may run. we'll give you the results on friday, next week we'll do the democrats. this is a great time for everyone to become a bill o'reilly.com premium member. bill, last time i checked, iraq was a sovereign nation so the left compares our invasion to what putin is doing in crimea?
8:57 pm
they were harboring terrorists after 9/11. that's what prompted the invasion. ukraine has done nothing to prompt the invasion. >> why do you think president obama needs more time to figure out what do do with putin? >> because what ever he is going to do is going to have consequences, and they need to be thought out. karl rove was a good presidential adviser, you are an enterta entertainer. you are an egoist, look it up. i knew it already, an egoist is a conceited person. some viewers would prefer uninterrupted mono logs. al an sweeney, your ego is of the good kind based on conviction and concern for the folks. i'm glad you see it that way.

you seem to be okay with darrell issa wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on the faux irs scandal bill, bernie left out the elite factor, one of the reasons the left celebrates barack obama is that he went to harvard. >> so did george w. bush. jacqueline craighead, as a teacher in the innercity, i know my students idolize entertainers like beyonce and rappers. and those entertainers are negatively impacting black population. i can't waterboard the man, ron i can't slap him around, i'll be sued. dodging a question is an answer. you got it, you got it. jeff haynes, you are damaging

christianity, with your harrassy killing jesus. >> i don't think so, jeff but eventually i'm going to find out one way or the other finally tonight, a new online poll about tipping in restaurants is very instructive. 10% of customers in america never tip. only 20% give more than 20%. the rationale being people don't have much money these days, that's understandable. however, generosity will always come back to you. if you get good service in a restaurant you should tip between 15 and 20%. even more if they were really good. that's simply the right thing to do. the more generous you are, the more things will break your way in the long run, it's a karma thing. factor tip of the day. that's it for us tonight. please check out the factor news website, different from bill o'reilly.com. name and town if you wish to
