8:16 pm
the author of the new bock not col. police welcome greg gutfeld. >> one of the things i love about your bock, you have a list of free radicals and even named me as a guy, do you think i am cool or just because you are afraid to bump with me in the hall? >> nothing to do with getting on your show? >> nothing at all. >> the governor is immune to anyone's opinions about himself. he has what he calls the code and he's not only right, it is something that is important. he is persuasively right.
8:17 pm
he is persuasive in his arguments and this is a big problem i find in all ideologies and with conservativism and libittarian ands they don't know how to persuade people. that is an issue with your cappedidates. if you are up against president obama who is cool? where does cool get you? no where. he was persuasively progressive and what conservatives and libittarians needs someone who is right and persuasively right x. you play a base that is least colininstrument. >> no, it is coolest of all. >> no, you are not ashamed to play the bass. the problem with the book though, when people hear about it, they think it is hit people and it is not. it is a mine set that is subversive mind set that said all tradition and family and work is bad. this is why the book to me is
8:18 pm
most important book for young people that is out there right now. no one told them this in this manner. parents will tell their kids, don't listen to the people who want to do bad things. that makes them want to rebel. they are explaining to you why it is bad and why there is it no inherent value in doing something that is against your own intchlt and no one told kids that way without sounding like a doshg. >> my favorite chapter was called southern discomfort that is about the south. and i love the south and i rather have corn bread and cat fish. and that whole thing. you really paid a great compliment to southeners and said they are misunderstood. >> you know it is easy for comedians when they talk about
8:19 pm
southeners, they play out red- neck cliche and stupid people and the fact is, in my book, i talk about what are the worst crimes in recent times taking place? not in the south. look at the goz nel mass murder that is in philadelphia. you can so what happen in the castro household, that was in cleveland, that is a city. why did that happen? it happened because of a lack of neighborly concern. when the cities that are now desolate wastelands. no one makes eye contact. if you have a neighbor squatting no one wants to get involved. the south is predicated on getting involved and knowing your naeshs. it is like, if there is something going on over there you check it out. (applause) >> and people speak to each
8:20 pm
other on the street and pull over when a funeral procession comes by and help a total stranger and if a tornado hits the house it is the way they live. only flaw with the south is that they are perhaps too friendly. i went to 31 cities in the south. it was incredible how much food they gave me and to a cliche, how much moon shine. they, people gave me. no hip new yorker is going to give me moon shine. some kid, and southern conservative kid with tattoos and nose ring. i made this in my garage. >> dpreg, the book is great and one of theerancy i wanted to have you, you said i was cool, not many people said that. >> you are good, you are not cool. >> that is fine, i will take it. >> best of luck on the bock.
8:21 pm
not cool. by greg gutfeld. >> enjoy the mug. >> your mug on the mug. i got that, too. allegations of a va cover up involving the deaths was 40 veterans in arizona and where are they serving subway sandwiches behind bulletproof glass. really? my reaction and the quotes of the week coming up next. i'm type e. my golden years will not just be gold plated. i had 3 different 401(k)s. e*trade offers rollover options and a retirement planning calculator. now i know "when" i'm going to retire. not "if." was a truly amazing day.ey, without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. for over 18 years we've helped people take care of the things that matter most. join today at angieslist.com but there are some places even mr. can

8:25 pm
one nation under god. you can get a free copy. it is free god dvd.com. >> a report in the arizona reprobable alleges that 40 veterans died awaiting medical appointments and that the va health system tried to cover it up with secret records to hide the length of wait times. arizona septemberor jonator mck for: >> never have i seen a cover up of 40 people dying. this is why we need to use government to get to the bottom of this, and if it is thorough hold those accountable. >> absolutely hold them accountable. it is bad enough to send veterans in harm's way where they risk loss of life and facing the bullets of terrorist
8:26 pm
and foreign enemies. when they come back home, the least thing they should have to worry about is that their own government kill them with inattention. this is unacceptable. i hope that no one will allow the concept of letting veterans be put on the shelf to wait as acceptable or tollerable. we owe the veterans of this country to treat them better than that. absolutely has to happen. (applause) nevada reg end clive bundy lost support in the stand off in the government when he made derogatory comments about african-american. on thursday bundy tried to defend his comments. >> are they better off and happier when they were in the south in their homes and with their chickens and their gardens and children a round them and their men having something to
8:27 pm
do? are they better off? >> i am sure mr. bundy you are not better off for making statements that nobody can defend and no one would try to defend it. and people who supported you run from you as fast as anybody can gho go. the obvious reasons that the comments were objectionable and deplorable. i hope however, that we don't forget what people were standing up for had nothing to do with bundy personally and anything he believed. the issue and i want to make sure you understand. the issue for many of us was it necessary for the federal government to escalate the problem that was created there and the whole idea of his cattle grauzing that they were willing to point high-powered rifles at citizens of the united states and threaten to kill them over cows eating grass?
8:28 pm
this is really what has been the front of the issue for me? i am not defend clive bundy. he is pay for the grass, but you don't shoot somebody over it. and that is an issue i hope that is not lost on any of us. (applause) the crime is so bad in chicago subway shops are putting up bulletproof glass between the employees and customers. not according to the woman who works next to the subsway shop. it is not odd. it defends on the owner wanting to keep the employee's safe. our cities are in a real mess when you have to put bulletproof glass between the customers and employees in a simply place
8:29 pm
place that makes sandwiches. no one is explained it. and so as a result people like the owners of the subway sandwich shop protect their employees with bulletproof glass. that is sad. >> and the recent meeting of obama care and state insurance commissioners was so alarming many are raising red flags. ohio commissioner mary taylor explains next. scott: okay, neighbors, here's the top-drawer skinny. scotts wraps each seed in a brilliant water smart plus coating, that feeds, protects, and holds in moisture to make growing thicker, healthier grass easier. now let's spread your newfound knowledge! seed your lawn. seed it!

8:36 pm
consumers looking to purchase health insurance are paying the price. premiums are going up and he believes that the increase will be because of the delays and it is very concerning to us and a policy and law not working in the state of ohio and every time they make any kind of change it makes it worse for the ohio consumers. noregon was enthusiastic about obama care and this week oregon walked away from a state- run exchange and say the feds will have to do it. that is after spending hundreds of millions of dollars of oregon taxpayer money. how significant is oregon saying we are done and can't make it work? >> i think it is significant. first of all a state all in favor of obama care and preparing to run their own state- based exchange and did

this past week marks the 50th anniversary of president johnson declaring a war on poverty. on friday i spoke at an event in martin county. the very community where lbj traveled to announce what would become an almost $21 trillion effort in spending to end poverty. 50 years later, the poverty rate is about the same. you think that the government would look at the am spent and the minimal impact and declare that maybe a new model needs to be launched. but then you wonderful understand government. because 50 years and $21 trillion later some think we just need to spend more money. but look, i love the people that i met at the event. these are people who know hard work, hard times, and sometimes hard luck. but they aren't hard people. in fact they care deemly about their community and each other. and they reminded me the real
8:58 pm
