decline, it just gets my back up, because after everything i have seen and learned, my faith in our country and our future is deeper than ever. >> also ahead, how county republican party stop hillary clinton from becoming the next president? charles krauthammer will put forth on that. >> 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. gambling with your safety. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. president obama and attorney general holder want to change the criminal code when it comes to some dope deerlts. they believe in some cases, the drug laws in america are unfair. right now, 80% of those incarcerated in this country abuse drugs or alcohol. 50% of prison inmates are
5:02 pm
clinically addicted and 600% tested positive for illegal drugs at the time they were arrested. 21% of all prison inmates are doing time because of, quote: nonviolent drug crimes. now, nonviolent crime means the perpetrator did not use force during the illegal transaction outside of selling poison, of course. and therein lies the controversy here. the act of giving another person a substance that could kill them or alter their minds so they kill somebody else, surely is an aggressive action. i believe it's a violent action. the president and attorney general obviously do not. since tough mandatory drug sentencing was imposed, the nation's crime rate has plummeted. in fact, in 2011, violent felonies were down 75% compared to 1993. amazing. that's because many drug gang members are in prison. remember, the drug world is not some isolated situation.
5:03 pm
addicts steal, mug and commit other crimes. dealers kill people for territory. payment and rival gangs attack each other all the time for a variety of reasons. we are seeing that now in chicago where the murder rate is horrific. the drug culture is not some benign opium den where people sit around contemplating their pipe dreams. drug trafficking is aggressive, nasty, brutal, and inhuman main in the extreme. it enslaves people, robs them their dignity and substance abuse harm and neglect children at a frightening rate. yet, some of these abusers are now being portrayed as victims, nonviolent offenders. again, if you are peling heroin or crack or meth, you are harming people. talking points believes that giving drug-involved people leniency will escalate the crime rate in this country across the board. it took decades to bring violent crime under control. the reason it happened was aggressive policing,
5:04 pm
aggressive sentencing, no pity for bad people. ask any cop on the street. and they will tell you that. but now we're living in a very liberal time where sympathy for the devil on a number of fronts is growing. yes. america has the highest incarceration rate in the western world. that's because we are a nation that embraces drug abuse. from marijuana to prescription drugs to heroin, this country is hooked. and if we don't deal with that reality, all of us are going to suffer. just a matter of when. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight, another point of view, joining us from washington paul larkin who works at the heritage foundation a conservative group. where am i going wrong here very specifically, mr. larkin? >> in two ways, bill. first, i think you have missed the most interesting point of what the attorney general said yesterday. the president clearly has the authority to grant clemency to people who are suffering from unduly severe sentences. enemy cases that is the right thing for the president to do.
5:05 pm
but if it's it was the right thing four years ago. what's most interesting about what the attorney general said yesterday was he blamed inaction on congress since 2010 to change the law. when congress changed the law in 2010, the president knew it was not going to apply retroactively and he done nothing to exercise the lem men is i power except to grant it to 8 people. if the president thinks there are people in prison that shouldn't be, he should have done this a long time ago. >> all right. secondly. >> let me stop you there. clemency is a privilege that governors and presidents have and i don't have any beef with that at all because i know there are people who are serving hard time that pretty much don't deserve it but caught up in something. generally speaking what's going on in this country and what some like you i'm surprised are buying is that dealing hard narcotics is a nonviolent action. it absolutely is not. and to peddle that kind of garbage to the american
5:06 pm
people, many of whom are buying it, is really, really a bad thing. >> the bad thing, bill, is mischaracterizing what's going on. yes, selling narcotics to people endangers their lives. yes, it cheapens their lives. but it doesn't necessarily involve violence. there are a large number of people. >> wait, wait. that's the semantic. if you give somebody strict nine and they ingest it and die, that's a violent action. now, heroin and cocaine aren't -- that's not strict nine. it's not 100% of the time going to put you on your back, but it's the same level of toxicity and you are just blowing that of off just all of these other people, blowing it off. it's okay because the customer wants it. that kind of stuff. >> it's a mistake to equate strictnine and other poisons with marijuana and other drugs.
5:07 pm
>> now marijuana, you know i'm talking about the hard drugs. nobody is doing federal time for selling a joint. go ahead. i don't know. i'm not so sure about that. talking about heroin and cocaine not talking about poison. no pharmacological justification for that as a policy matter, the important thing to look at is where you get the best bang for your buck. >> no, it isn't. the important thing to look at and criminal justice policy is protecting human beings, not bang for the buck. you and i have a fundamental disagreement about. this i'm glad you came on and i'm glad you are an honest man, mr. larkin. sigh this as violent action because i know people who are dead from it, all right? i know people who died with from it and i know drug dealers. i know the world. and they are violent, uncaring people most of them. there are some who get caught up who aren't that way, but most, if you get in that world, you are getting into a violent world.
5:08 pm
by your own free will, you are doing it. and i have no sympathy for these people on a mass level. one by one, no problem. not busting them all down. last word? >> i saw the same things that you see in new york city because i grew up there. i saw junkies on the subway. so i know what that is like. the important point though is not to be blinded by those images. we have to decide what is the best policy. if the best policy is to soften the laws so that you you open up bed spaces for people who do belong there, then that's a policy worth pursuing. >> well, i think the violent crime drop in this country reflects the tough sentencing that they brought in, and i think that is just beyond a reasonable doubt. great debate. i appreciate you coming on tonight. next on the rundown, taking your child to a marijuana exposition. is that a smart thing to do? and then, there is a militia movement in america that is supporting nevada rancher cliven bundy. we will talk with one of it

[ male announcer ] great rates for great rides. geico motorcycle, see how much you could save. blf paragraph impact segment tonight. last night jesse watters presented his videotape from the big pot festival from denver over the weekend. one situation caught my attention. a 14-year-old girl with her father talked with jesse. >> she is 146789 she is at the pot rally. is that a good idea? >> as long as you keep it in the realms of -- >> appropriateness. >> appropriateness, yes. so far she has been introduced to very wonderful outcome lady that's in college for being an artist. >> does your daughter smoke marijuana? >> no. >> do you smoke? >> no. >> i think it's a good idea to be -- to keep the boundaries and ramifications like alcohol. make it understood. make it real. i'm a single father that was on morphine in 2008 for from
5:13 pm
a spinal injury. now i only smoke marijuana. >> this is kind of festival make you want to experiment with marijuana? >> um, 21 and up, maybe. >> all right. here now to comment monica crowley and alan colmes, what did you think when you saw that? >> i saw that segment last night. i was yelling at my television because of all of the pot heads who justy watters talked to at the festival, that is the exchange that really got to me. because what structure me is so she is so young, she is 14. is he treating her like she is an adult. she is not an adult. parents are there to be your parents. they are not there to be your friend. >> what if he is trying to just say to her, listen, this is what the world is. i suspect, and i could be wrong, that is a lenient father, a permissive father, you know. he admits right in front of his daughter he smokes pot. what kind of message does that send? he has the sleeve, the tattoo sleeve down. i don't know if it's blanket wrong if you took your kid there and said, do you know, do you really want to be
5:14 pm
like these people? because if you didn't see it ladies and gentlemen, the watts world last night you should. you should dial it up. the people who were there, i mean, well, what do you think? >> i think it depends on the child. she seemed like a mature young woman. used the word aprop i can't seeness. wouldn't smoke if she did it until she was 21. >> she was 10 times smarter than the father. >> she was very mature young woman. >> she was. i know what this permissive parent something all about. i see it every day. it's like, okay, my kid is 14. she is obviously bright. so i'm going to bring her into all of these situations that maybe it isn't really emotionally, you know, right to do. >> you can't do that unless we know more about the family. to make a blanket statement. >> would you take your 14 to a pot rally. >> it depends on the maturity of the child. >> so you might take them there. >> it would depend on the maturity of the child. >> to your point you say maybe if he brought the child there to show her what the world looked like. >> but he didn't. >> you don't need your
5:15 pm
parent to do it. it is so pervasive in the culture. it's displemp it's all over the place. the pressure is there among their piers. the pressure there s. there in the culture. these kids are so far beyond their years growing up in this culture they already know what it is. they don't need the exposure from the on top of everything else. fun, getting high. the kid sees. that is like going to a bar, colmes. and you are planting yourself at the bar stool. >> it's not a bar stool. it's more like oktoberfest. it's outside. >> no. >> it might be outside but you can go to an open air bar. it's like okay, tiffany, let's go to the bar and watch people get loaded on beer and gin tonight. that doesn't seem like a good idea to me. >> i think had you a good point. look, this is what you you might be exposed, to look, the father could say i did a lot worse than marijuana, look what i used to do look where i am now, this is what you could wind up as, be careful, be aware of it. >> maybe if it was a cautionary tale i suspect it was not.
5:16 pm
>> you are not supposed to be your child's friend. >> that is gone. believe me, that's gone. these parents. moral guide for your child. listen, we talked about this during this segment on the show where main is linked to be a gate way drug to harder stuff is this father going to be around if this girl gets hooked on stronger judges? is he going to pick up the wreckage? >> i don't know if that's fair to the father because there are very very good parents or traditional parents and strict parents whose kids become drug addicts. >> he may be. >> there is a legion across the board. >> he may be more responsible than most. >> we don't know. >> if this is going on on a wider scale. >> gateway drug to anything. >> that makes sense, colmes. we are living in a world now where a lot of parents feel obligated to kind of be hip. you know, let's be cool. let's get the sleeve tattoo. not that there is anything wrong with the sleeve tattoo, i guess. but it is disturbing me that the boundaries are collapsing between parents and children.
5:17 pm
>> yes. >> boundaries are collapsing. look, you can't spank a child in this country or you are going to be charged with child abuse. even if you raise your voice to the child, you are going -- people are going to turn around and go what are you doing? and now, you have to take them to the drugs. come on. >> we have talked about it here on this show, too. it's a breakdown for the respective authority but when the parents are playing into it too, my mother sat me down when i 13 and said if yu drink i will kill you, if do you drugs, i will kill you. i have enough respect for her and i was afraid of her and afraid of her to this very day i knew not to do it. when you don't have those boundaries. >> sometimes that work and sometimes it doesn't. that should be. >> said with your sister you better. >> it was rough. i was very scared. not prettiy. >> you should be colmes. all right. so, that -- but i'm glad we did the segment, because that girl, i mean, she just got to me. i think she is a nice girl. just, you know. >> sometimes the kids end up parenting the parent.
5:18 pm
>> that's right. there is no doubt about that. all right. cawley and colmes, everybody. directly ahead. the militia movement in america. supporting cliven bundy in america. talk with the militia leader. supreme court says no to affirmative action. is it legal will analyze a very important and controversial decision today. those reports after these messages. at any minute... ...you could be a victim of fraud. most people don't even know it. fraud could mean lower credit scores, higher mortgage rates... ...and not getting the home you really want. it's a problem waiting to happen. check your credit score, check your credit report, at experian.com.

5:21 pm
factor follow up segment tonight, the militia movement in america supporting the rancher in nevada. as you may know, the u.s. government is demanding that 67-year-old cliven bundy pay more man a million dollars in grazing fees that he say he will not pay. even some conservatives are siding against mr. bundy. >> you have a bunch of people there trying take the law in their own hands and they shouldn't be doing it and the bureau of land
5:22 pm
management is not government owned. it is publicly owned. and there is a big difference there. and and so i blame both sides on that. >> joining us now from oklahoma city, scott shaw, co-founder of the oklahoma volunteer militia, which is supporting mr. bundy. walk through this with you, mr. shaw. there is no doubt he broke the law, that mr. bundy broke the law. there is no doubt it's been adjudicated in court after court after court. every legal expert we have had on the factor said the same thing, the man broke the law. would you agree with that? >> yes. i would agree with that. >> now, throughout our history as i mentioned last night, there have been conscientious on tore who's broke the law. i think mr. bundy may fall into this category. he doesn't believe the law is just. he believes he has been there since 1970, his family, that he is being treated unfairly and he is being oppressed by his government. so, therein lies the next question, mr. shaw. what would your advice to mr. bundy be?
5:23 pm
>> my advice would be stay true to your convictions. he has a problem with, you know, the government owning the land in nevada. i totally understand that. >> all right. so, he stays true to his convictions, which i believe he will. and then the government attaches his land. so that when he dies, or attempts to sell, the government will come in and put a lien on it, they have the perfect right to do that that's what you do to tax scofflaws who don't pay their taxes. >> right. >> so would that be a solution that you would be okay with? >> yes. that would be a solution i would be okay with. what i'm not okay with is what we saw happen just a few weeks ago. >> all right. the confrontation and overreaction from the federal government sending in the armed agents to seize his cattle. now, i agree with you there. i agree with you there. but i have heard some rhetoric from not your group per se because you are in oklahoma, but from other groups that are basically
5:24 pm
saying we're going to do what we want here. and, you know, and if you provoke us, we're going to have a confrontation. and i think that's wrong. >> well, yes. that is wrong. we always hear that we are a nation of laws. but it turns out we are only a nation of laws when it suits our federal overlords. you know, they like to pick and choose what laws they are going to enforce. that's not fair. i understand the frustration from the people on the ground there. >> okay. but you wouldn't encourage them to do anything to provoke a confrontation? >> no. i wouldn't provoke a confrontation. but i would definitely defend myself, you know, if the federal government came and took up arms against me. >> sure. but that's not going to happen. but the federal government does have a right to seize the man's cattle but they pulled back after the confrontation that obviously i think most americans would agree with you was unnecessary. you can do it another way in a nonviolent way. what's the difference between mr. bundy and the
5:25 pm
occupy wall street crew that doesn't respect the federal government for a variety of reasons and feels it has the right to go into a city like oakland and burn things down? what's the difference? >> well, the difference is mr. bundy is providing a service to the nation. you know, is he a cattle rancher. is he providing the country with beef he. the occupy movement, to this day i still don't know what they are providing the country with. >> but they are both dissenters. they are both dissenting what they feel is an he oprogressive system. that's what they have in common. >> okay, yeah. they have that in common. i guess the way they are going about it would be different. i haven't seen any reports from the -- from the bundy ranch that, you know, any supporters of his or destroying property or being arrested, like you saw with the occupy movement. >> okay. legitimate point. last question are for you. do you believe the federal
5:26 pm
government is oppressive to you, to your family, to the nation, do you believe that we are not living in a country that is looking out for the folks anymore? the patriot act, the national authorization defense act. we are losing ground via our liberties and freedoms on a daily basis. >> now, do you feel you are going to have to defend yourself firearms down the road? >> i see that as a good possibility, yes, sir. >> that frightens a lot of people when you are that candid. >> that frightens me. >> you are ready to -- there is going to come a point though when you are going to have to make a decision whether to stay in the sham it we have here, or go out of the system. >> exactly. >> and what's going to be the -- in your mind, what would be the catalyst for you to go out of the system and fight your own
5:27 pm
government? >> that's really in the government's, you know, the ball is in their court. if they wanted to impose martial law, do something with the banking system, just more infringements on our rights. it's going to come. >> you think it's going to come? >> yes, sir, i do. >> all right. mr. shaw, we appreciate you coming on this evening. >> plenty more as the factor moves along this evening. charles krauthammer on what it will take to defeat hillary clinton 2016. county republican does it. supreme court saying no to affirmative action. big ruling today. we hope you stay tuned to those reports. ready for action?

perm story segment tent. you may remember the case of philip gosnell convicted in may for killing babies in his abortion clinic. >> the case is absolutely horrific. gosnell sentenced to life in prison. now actor nic versey who plays a tv show justified wants to produce a film gosnell, hollywood isn't exactly stepping up here. he joins us now from raleigh, north carolina. you are trying to raise about 2 million bucks to get this movie made, correct? >> that's right, bill. we are well on the way. we are already 50% there. i think the last time i checked we are at 1.2 million. we are going for 2.1. gosnell movie.com. tell them i sent you. >> okay. now, you any the hollywood landscape. it's not easy to get any movie produced.
5:32 pm
they are pinheads out there. they very rarely make quick decisions. and, you know, killing babies, not exactly an uplifting, an uplifting situation. now, the story, legally is fascinating. and i -- if you do get the film made, i think you will do all right with it. and that's a trend now to fund your open movies and then put them out to an audience who are interested. i don't know if the hollywood people would take this even if they weren't pro-choice. >> basically it's a true crime story, bill. it's a story about one of the prolific serial killers kils in american history. it's gruesome, it's violent. it's gory, it's horrific, it's bloody. hollywood loves those kind of things. of course they would do it. >> not with babies. you don't see too many infanticide films. i can't recall any. it would be hard to sit in the theater and watch this
5:33 pm
horrendous doctor murder these babies. i don't know if many people could sit through that. >> well, i have sat through some things that i couldn't have imagined people sitting through. did you ever see the human sent peed? that's pretty bad. >> no, i stay away from the exploitation from human suffering. but you get my point. a movie of this kind, i don't know if i would sit through it i mean, i know what happened there and i'm glad i reported on it and i'm glad the guy was put away for the rest of his life. but you do believe that there is an anti-pro-life bias in hollywood, correct? >> well, i don't think there is any question about it. i mean, there is a lot of -- a lot of true crime stories that hollywood does do. this one is pretty fascinating. you don't have to go into gory details and show the blood and gore for this to be a fascinating film. i mean, this was a very well-respected member of his community. this went on for 30 years.
5:34 pm
with the support of a lot of government programs. and for this sort of situation to continue, as long as it did, and for gosnell to continue to doing the things that he did for so long, it says a lot about society. it's not just an exploitation film, as you said, it's a story about why this happened. >> no. i didn't say it was exploitation film. i said the other film that you mentioned was exploitation film. this one is absolutely compelli in the sense that you are right. he got away with it for a long time. the authorities looked the other way in philadelphia. and handled properly, it could be a very very interesting film. so, you want people to donate to get the movie made. they are donating. they are not buying into it. they are just trying to get this thing made. you can give the address once again if you would like. >> yes, just go to gosnell movie.com and donate. if you tell them that nick
5:35 pm

thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly in the is it legal segment tonight, three hot topics beginning with a stunning decision by the u.s. supreme court in a 6 to 2 ruling justices say that voters in michigan have the right to change their state constitution to ban affirmative action in college admissions. with us now to explain attorneys and fox news analyst kimberly guilfoyle and lis wiehl. let's begin in 2006, referendum in michigan. folks there when you apply to a michigan college, race to be taken into any consideration. >> no preferential treatment. >> the supreme court took 8 years. >> exactly. >> 8 years to say okay, that's okay. >> it had to go through the appellate process sixth process. >> of course it does. >> the sixth circuit struck
5:40 pm
down and said equal protection, you know, it should be struck down. >> right, right, right. just today, the supreme court, as you said, 6 to 2. because because earlierstate p, we do not want preferential treatment based on race or gender or what have you, we will allow the state voters to decide. now that is the law in michigan as it is in about seven other states. >> and you know why? >> it's a state by state call. >> correct. >> the program government is not imposing anything. >> there is no authority in the u.s. constitution to undermine elections. this is alection where they put this proposal forward. >> gay marriage election in california. >> so there is some inconsistencies here. >> oh. >> legal reasoning. >> absolutely. >> technicality though. >> spotlight on. >> it's always the same argument. you are doing the human rights thing. you know, that you pass a law that restricts affirmative action, that's gonna unfairly target african-americans or hispanic americans. and you are going to pass a law restricting gay marriage, that's unfairly targeting homosexuals.

>> right. >> it's always the tension. but i was surprised by the 6 to 2. >> i was as well. kennedy, breyer. >> kennedy i could see. briar is a surprise. >> sotomayor her defense. >> sotomayor comes from a very ideological point of view. she states it it she doesn't believe that the constitution is a document that doesn't change. she sees the constitution as having to change for the social good. >> living, breathing. >> which is a very different viewpoint versus the strict constitutional. >> that is how she is always going to vote. ginsburg is always going to vote liberal no matter what it is. >> 50% of the electorate voted for this in michigan in 2006. that's their right to do so. >> this nut in kansas kills some jewish people, is he a nazi creep, convicted felon. he was convicted in new york. therefore, he is not entitled to have a gun. he does get a handgun
5:42 pm
through someone. and now the kansas authorities are looking for that someone to drop a big anchor on that person's head. right? >> right. this is glenn miller, you are seeing him in the pictures there is he a convicted felon, known antifeminist. very on the forefront in terms of his viewpoints. very sad and tragic irony is, even those these individuals coming out of a jewish center were all christians. >> just a hater. >> right. >> because of the -- >> the person who gave him the gun is in trouble. >> exactly. >> huge. >> that's it. because 10 years you are looking at behind bars. >> here is my question. so what if the person who gave him the gun didn't know he was a convicted felon. >> that's the problem. the intent of the displish you have got to say that the law written out. >> that he knew. >> prohibited from owning. >> whoever gave it to him is going to say i didn't know he was a felon. >> do you know how a previous conviction how this started. grandmother went in to purchase something for a family member who was a
5:43 pm
known felon and she made the statement to the person. he can't get a gun because is he a felon, i'm buying it for him. how often are you going to get that? >> i hope granny is doing some time. now, in arizona, poor black woman goes for a job interview. unfortunately she didn't have the resources or wherewithal to get a babysitter for her children. >> there she. >> they are locked in the car. >> and now she is charged with, what? >> with endangerment, two felony counts of endangerment of these children. 2-year-old and a 6 month old were left in the car. >> 6-month-old baby in the car unattended hot car. >> yes. this is arizona. it's about 82 degrees. and they were sweating. apparently somebody called in the cops. they came. the kids were sweating. they were endanger, the problem is this woman was trying to go for a job. >> i understand that wiehl. >> you have got to be responsible. >> here is what you do. i want to cut to the chase. if a woman has a 6-month-old baby and 2-year-old.
5:44 pm
you take them to the job interview. you hold the baby and have the 6 month old sitting next to you. i you know, i really need this job. i couldn't find a babysitter today so here are my children. >> but i will if i have this job i have the money to get a baby-sitter. >> that's what you do. don't leave them in the car. would i put this woman in jail? no i would not. would i put supervision on her by the state authorities? yes, i would. >> i am glad she was looking for a job to support her children. that's not the way to go about it. >> supervision by the state authorities because this was a terrible decision. >> off-the-record from authorities that's exactly what they want to do. >> you are going to follow the indicates. >> just so you know real quick part time employment at the time of the arrest. she was not homeless. other means. sympathetic to her and her family. 100 degrees in the car. >> what the fair thing is to do. >> i think so too. >> krauthammer is on deck. what will it take to keep hillary clinton from being the next president of the united states? charles has some thoughts in just a few moments.

5:48 pm
if we can't offer faster speeds or save you money we'll give you $150. comcast business built for business. back of the book segment tonight, denying hillary clinton the presidency. it's widely expected she will run on the democratic ticket in 2016. 49% of americans have a favorable view of mrs. clinton. 45% unfavorable. overwhelmingly she is the choice of democrats to run. 69% want that just 14% support vice president biden. joining us now from washington, fox news political analyst charles krauthammer. so, not much is going to change, as far as hillary clinton is concerned in the next two years. her record is her record. how do you beat her? >> >> you let reality set in. i think the democrats will surely nominate her if she runs. it will be a coronation. i think if you look at how the polls have narrowed over the last few months, i think
5:49 pm
what did you say 49 pert% to 45%? that's a pretty narrow range. we are still two and a half years away. you know, i think the reason that people have this fuzzy picture of her, the name clinton, the 90's, very good time. peace and prosperity. they don't remember anything particarly bad. but then as reality approaches and they get to look at her record, this is not going to be an easy run to the once she gets in the general. and when he they look at her record, they begin to examine the real hillary and the real achievements, the lack of achievements, i would say. then she is going to be up against the real race. >> all right, let's go over the achievements that mrs. clinton has on her resume. and i hold in my hand those achievements. as senator for new york, she co-introduced legislation to increase the size of the army. so she will be able to run as a fairly tough foreign
5:50 pm
policy person, correct? >> no. and i think it doesn't really matter if she co-sponsored a bill to increase the size of the army. that doesn't count. what counts is what she counts for. what counts is what she had just finished doing. what counts is how she is addressed now -- madam secretary. she was asked at a forum just a few weeks ago, "what is your proudest achievement as secretary of state"? she could not answer the question. she fumbled around and she ended up saying, i handed off the baton. can you tell me if there is any great track and field star who is remembered for handing off the baton? in other words -- i defy anybody to tell me to name a single achievement of this person who has been called by democrats in a very are extravagant way one of the great secretaries of state. she has zero achievements. the two things she has done and
5:51 pm
will be remembered for is the disastrous reset policy founded in naive ti, gave away the store to the russians. the fruits of which we can see unraveling in ukraine and crimea. >> she'll blame barack obama for that. >> she was the secretary of state. >> you know how it goes. >> there was video of her handing it over. in other words you're saying she was a cipher or a nobody. >> i think she'll repudiate a lot of barack obama's policies when she runs. i do. i think she will get out there and say, you know what? i was a good team player but i didn't agree with x, y, and z. i would have done obamacare differe differently, blah, blah, blah. i don't think she'll run on the obama ticket. i do not. >> i 'm talking about her credentials, achievements. why should she be president of the united states other than she
5:52 pm
married a man who became president? >> first woman president. she hases that going for her. she'll position herself as the champion of women and children. the only thing she did while senator of new york was she did get a bill passed that mandates a rating system for video games to protect the tykes from, you know, pernicious dvds and all of that. but that's where she's going to run. i'm your champion -- women and children. i'm your champion. >> well, i would say the country has just gone through a six-year and soon an eight-year experience of electing a man because he would have been an historic first. completely understandable. it was a reason so many people supported him. it was one of the reasons i felt poud to be an american the day he was sworn in. given the record of the amateur that came into the presidency unprepared and the record he'll leave behind, i'm not sure the
5:53 pm
country will want to elect a second president -- >> that's why she'll get away from him. >> -- simply to set a precedent. >> how much will bill be at her side and basically, listen, maybe i'm not the smartest guy, but he is. he did it for eight years and he'll be the co-president. >> i don't think you run that way. i don't think you do it explicitly. bill is the one who said when he was running two for the price of one, that she would be the copresident. she doesn't have to say it. just make a speech with him standing with a berks -- smile on his face pt. everybody knows you get bun -- it's not so much that clinton will be involved in her presidency. he radiates. he reflects the '90s which were a great decade pr tfor the coun. it was between the cold war and
5:54 pm
9/11. >> that's a plus for her. >> absolutely. >> he'll be the attack dog, too. whoever goes after her, he'll fight back. >> all she's runninging on is the reflected glory of the '90s and zero achievements on her part. that the will be a problematic legacy on which to run because the '90s are over. you don't have to be a genius to figure out how to run against her. reset. benghazi. reflected glory. that's how you attack it. >> thank thanks, charles. factor tip of the day is moments away. why is our arizona-based company relocating manufacturing to upstate new york? i tell people it's for the climate. the conditions in new york state are great for business. new york is ranked #2 in the nation for new private sector job creation. and now it's even better because they've introduced startup new york - dozens of tax-free zones where businesses pay no taxes for ten years.
