[ applause ] >> vice president joe biden unleashed. but is it all for show, or is he

prepping for a white house run in 2016? >> what the hell are we talking about? a shocking celebrity scandal that could affect you. a hacker posts sensitive photos of celebrities, and the internet world is up in arm. some say it's their own fault. we'll have a factor investigation. caution, you are about to enter the no-spin zone. "the factor" begins right now. ♪ hi, i'm laura ingram in for bill o'reilly. thanks for watching tonight. let's get straight to our top story. of course, news reports say that a second american journalist, steven sotloff, who had been threatened with death at the hands of isis thugs, has in fact been beheaded. his death follows that was james foley who was killed just last month. today fox news' james rosen asked the state department spokeswoman if this reported

second beheading will escalate the administration's approach to isis. >> does the obama administration consider this an act of war? >> we certainly -- i'm not going to put new labels on it, james. i would say we certainly consider this act, this reported act, the act of the killing of james foley as a horrific terrorist act. >> but there are now reports that president obama has known for at least a year that isis posed a dangerous threat not only to iraq and syria but to our own vital interests. still, the president admits he's still looking for a strategy to address the threat. and now even some democrats are criticizing the president. >> i've learned one thing about this president. that is he's very cautious. maybe in this instance, too cautious. >> with us to comment on this rather strange obama doctrine, if that's what you call it, dr.

charles krauthammer. i know we don't have a strategy yet, but analyze this situation after, again, another horrific beheading. the administration responds saying it's horrific. we know that. >> look, it's a nonresponse. the video like the the one proceeded it was called a message to america. and in it obama dresses it's a challenge to him. we know with the first video obama made a statement. then he went off and had a round of golf. i wonder if when he lands in estonia if he'll have a round of golf, as well. this is a president who refuses to act, as you say, refused to act on a year's worth of intelligence because he fits his view of the world. his understanding of reality. to fit his own ideology. this is a president pledged to basically withdraw the u.s. from the world. this is the anti-bush. a, because he believes america that doesn't have the moral right to intervene in the world. he's not a believer in american

exception lialism in the confessional. in his presidency abroad, he talked about all of our sins. second because he prides himself, there's a streak of narcissism in him. as a man who ends wars, historically important. he says, "i ended the war in iraq." of course he didn't. david petraeus ended the war in iraq. he threw away the fruit of victory. lastly because highway cares about domestic affairs above -- because he cares about domestic affairs above all, and public opinion which correctly does not want to intervene abroad unless led by a president who explains why, and thus he's been utterly passive. >> the new poll, 54% of americans said we haven't been aggressive enough in spongs reso the islamic threat. in the absence of leadership, the public sees the brutality, understands now more fully what's happening not only to our vital interests but to the christian people, to the other religious minorities.

and amnesty international called it an ethnic cleansing i think of epic proportion, what's happening right now in iraq. after we were there, christians were living there, at one point, you know, two million christians. now's down to 600,000 people, charles. and we were led to believe by this administration that they were blind sided. so it's willful, it's -- it's willfully telling the american people, oh, this -- this was kind of surprising to us. it was j.v. they weren't blind sided, were they? >> it's willingfully telling himself, obama creates a reality around himself. he's surrounded by sycophants. nobody of any stature of n his administration who will tell him he's wrong, who will tell him when he gets the briefings for over a year on isis and the growing threat that it is not something he can ignore. and the reason there's been a shift in public opinion is that public opinion today is seeing what was obvious five years ago, that when you withdraw american power from the world, whether in

iraq, in syria, where you go into libya and abandon it, whether with russia, wherever it is, there are consequences, and there is setting into americans the reason you cited that poll, the reason it shows americans are believing that we are an -- aren't aggressive enough, there's a sense of shame. with ativities involving americans who are cruelly -- atrocities involving americans who are cruelly beheaded -- >> would you respond in the way the state department did? they came out, dot comes out, like tit for tat. we behead someone, you respond. almost like -- of course i work for president reagan, you were around then. you almost want our actions to speak louder than any words. and we have kept up the air strikes. they got a big -- big islamic leader in somalia. we killed gadahn yesterday it looked like. they have had big strikes. >> what's important is not how we responded immediately

afterwards. after 9/11, george bush did not respond, he didn't toss a useless missile into an empty tent in afghanistan. the way the clinton administration went after the bombings in embassies in africa. he wait a month and then rallied. the tremendous operation, 100 days. took down the fully entrinched government in afghanistan. -- entrenched government in afghanistan. what the world wants is actions, not words. the president's words don't mean anything. he establishes a red line in syria. it doesn't exist. nothing happens. he's now in estonia. he says, "we will stand with the estoni estonians." that doesn't mean a thing. he hasn't even supplied the ukrainians with weapons to defend themselves. there's got to be action. >> in the region, shouldn't we have the powers step up? we heard about the moderate muslims, against us. we don't hear it or see the tangible evidence of their meaningful assistance. i'm sure the stuff going on behind the scenes, we want our european partners involved, america has to lead. i think the american people --

okay, we have a lot on our backs, we'll do it. we want some other people involved. that's what the other side said, what the liberal want. >> that's the one thing the obama administration prides itself on, diplomacy. you know, george w. was crude and blunt, and we are sophisticated and can do diplomacy. the best example is to go for it. here's the president, george bush sr., who organized a coalition. but only after he said, "this will not stand. we will lead." obama never says that. >> charles, thank you very much. congratulations to dr. krauthammer, whose book, "things that matter," is in its 10th month on the best seller list. wow. next on the "rundown." how should the beheading of steven sotloff change president obama's strategy in confronting isis? reaction from the top expert in a moment. ugh. heartburn. did someone say burn?

in the "factor followup," with the death of steven sotloff at the hand of isis terrorists, it seems that it's the group -- that the group upped the ante in its fight against the united states. last week, sotloff's mother appealed directly to the terrorist for her son's release. >> as a mother, i ask for justice to be merciful and not -- i want what every mother want, to live to see her children's children. i plead with you to grant me this. >> hard to wash. and with two other americans reportedly being held by isis, it would seem that even more americans are now in danger. so is president obama still looking for strategy to deal with isis in maybe somebody else has a suggestion. here to discuss our options from washington, david shanker, a former bush adviser on the middle east. david, obviously horrific news today with the release of the video. and the appearance plaintiff

sotloff -- parents of mr. sotloff have been informed, they're aware of. it obviously our thoughts and prayers go out to them. what can president obama do? i mean -- saying we don't have a strate strategy, the pentagon says we're always -- we're always moving forward, trying to clean up a little after the president's remarks. nevertheless, they have not settled on a strategy that they want to convey, to defeat --not contain but defeat isis. >> yeah. i continue's about time to roll out some of these plans. the pentagon is working all the time on plans. it's just the administration that is not deciding. they is a broader range of options. they have to attack isis. they're doing some containment in iraq, but they cannot proceed without starting to take on isis in syria. they have to do so directly -- >> boundaries don't affect them. they said they're not going to be held back from boundaries. they keep seeing strikes, david, these strike of a convoy here, a truck there.

it seems like we -- a lot more than that. killing hundreds of people, thousands of people in ditches. the report from amnesty international, they took a 3-year-old little girl from her christian mother and walked off with her. those stories, the burning of the boy's eyes. i mean, all these horrific stories in addition to what they promised in this country with the 100 americans who might be fighting with them. we're still looking for strategy here. seems that you got to move this along a little bit. >> we have to go after isis in syria. set them back significantly. this may involve spotters on the ground. we can do what we can do from the air. certainly along the way, of course, we should be targeting the assad regime, as well. it's not like the asod regime is any better -- >> can you do both? that will help assad, right, if we go after the islamist state. how do you thread that needle? >> we have to do both. if we don't, we will confirm to every sunni in the middle east that we are siding with the assad regime. we have to actually target the assad regime, as well. in fact, a good way of doing

that would be to go after initially the air defenses. the blunted air defenses that have prevented us for the past three years from targeting the assad regime in the first place. >> get the air defenses of assad and will go after isis in iraq. who's left -- in syria. who's left in syria to at that point to stand up for what is left of the country? >> well, the president has been promising $500 million to arm the moderate, vetted syrian opposition. there are, believe it or not -- >> vetted? >> moderate -- >> i keep hearing about the vetted opposition. and they do exist in your mind? these are real people? we heard about the iraqi security forces, they were going to be trained and be able to fight. turns out they weren't that capable. >> the iraqis have their problems centered around the vicious sectarianism. the opposition is committed. they have the free syrian army and a group that has been effective. don't espouse a militant islamic ideology. we have been providing them with

anti-tank weapons. we're not showing any sense of urgency. it's about time. >> are we going to have to have boots on the ground to defeat them, not just to push them pack but defeat them? they have to be killed -- i think every last one has to be killed. i don't think there's rehabilitation for the people who did what they did today. >> boots on the ground is difficult because we're not only going to be targeted by isis but the al qaeda regime. you have shifting front lines in syria. i don't think that's a possibility. maybe covert to help with the targeting, definitely -- >> all of our partners on the ground, we get partners, all these people in the middle east, we've got to have -- we need help from other countries. i not that's what a lot of american people are looking for. we need european help. we want some people on the ground in the middle east to stand up for -- you know, for some level of decency. let alone the security of the whole entire region. mr. shanker, thank you very much. great to have you. and directly ahead, how democrats are using the race card and recent trouble in ferguson to win votes in the

for the extra activities that, for most kids, are a normal part of growing up. not everyone can be a foster parent... but anyone can help a foster child. in the "impact segment," the talki ing points memo. weeks after the headlining events in ferguson, the democrats have a new strategy for spiking turnouts this november. tell black voters that the racists are coming, the racists are coming. well, since obama's numbers are in the toilet, he's a drag in every tight senate race, democrats have scrambled to find some edge in the upcoming midterms. and the use of force in ferguson is just what they've been looking for. >> it must continue it engage in peaceful, nonviolent action, but also they must participate in the political process. they must register and vote.

>> congressman lewis, who personally and physically sacrificed during the civil rights protests in the 1960s, is echoing what everyone from al sharpton to attorney general eric holder believes. that african-americans in this country still live in a racist, evil place. so go out and punish your enemies at the polls. now, recall that record numbers of black voters turned out for obama in 2008 and 2012. presumably they did so not just because he was black but because they thought that their lives were going to get better. better jobs, better schools, a chance at a better life. but by all relevant indicators, the lives of most black americans haven't improved much since the inauguration of barack obama back in 2009. black unemployment, it's about double that was whites. cheap illegal labor has hurt job prospects and wages. even race relations are worse after five years of president obama. but rather than change policy and to turn things around for

everyone and actually improve people's lives, the democrats go back to the politics of division. so if you don't go to the polls to vote democrat in november, your son could very well be the next michael brown or the next trayvon martin. how cynical, how counterproductive, and how revealing. remember obama's scene of, "yes, we can"? to many it sounded optimistic and upbeat. now his hope turned into nope. nope, we can't make it because of racism the tea party, and/or the police. democrats may spike turnout with this rank race-baiting strategy. but this will not create a single job in the inner city or keep a single african-american male out of prison. but if obama can save a senate seat or two in the process, then that's all that matters, right? and that's a memo. now for reaction. with us our old friend, richard fowler, radio talk show host. richard, where am i wrong here

about the jonathan martin piece, "the new york times" on sunday, that the democrats have decided to fashion a new strategy to try to really spike turnout among african-american voters by going to the ferguson issue and really lighting a fire because of the questions of whether police brutality, police use of force in that case was unjustified? >> i think we can all agree that a police use of force is is unjustified in ferguson. no question -- >> we can all agree? i don't think so -- we're not going do a ferguson question here. >> totally -- >> that's an open question. it hasn't been a charge against a police officer. it may be the case, but we don't know yet. >> i think the truth of the matter is that this is nothing new. democrats have always depended upon the latino voters as well as african-american voter. the same thing you see from the republican party, they roll out james dobson and people who rally their base. we know this is a base election. you turn your base out. political science 101. >> i don't have any problem with turning your base out. you're right.

that's politics. my question is about race specifically. look, when you talk to people about the police and how police treat any individual case in ferguson or down in florida, that doesn't go to the whole question, right, of how people are doing in america. whether it's latinos, single women, or black -- black voter. and when you look at the metrics, richard, set aside the police question. you could debate that all day long. but just the metrics -- black unemployment is double that was white unemployment today. youth unemployment, i think the figure is 34.9%. youth unemployment for african-americans. homeownership is down since 2009 among african-americans. these are indicators of whether we're going in the right direction or the wrong direction. i guess we could blame the tea party or the police for that, right? but we have a president been in for five years, and we're supposed to say -- we've got to vote because this is a racist country? >> i don't think it's a blame -- i think you have more and more educational equality, more and more income disparities, and you have all of this. that's a reason --

>> who's to blame for that after five years? >> that is why voting is fundamental. you have the ability to shape the policies, and unfortunately, the republican party hasn't proposed any new idea that's are going to get african-americans to turn out the vote for them. >> you would say the last five years, the referendum, just the indicators that i listed, that this has been a successful five years for african-americans? >> no question that we could have seen more congressional action. there's no question about that. >> obama has nothing to do with it? >> i not there's places we can work together. sadly, there's been no -- no camaraderie in washington. for example, mandatory minimums. we could work together, let the tea party agree -- >> is that going to create jobs i ? i'm not against the issue. that's -- what about jobs in get a job. i mean, if you don't have a job, you're not having any -- >> an example is the president pushed forward in the reauthorization bill. which is -- >> government jobs are the answers.

you create jobs, 34,000. white jobs, blue jobs, purple jobs, yellow jobs. >> keystone, all the enhancements we could do. >> listen -- >> race -- is race really what's holding black people back? do you think so? there's -- >> i think that there's no doubt about it, anti-christian bog on theory, jewish bigotry, latino -- bigotry, jewish bigot rea and racism s. that really what's at the -- bigotry and the racism. is that really what's at the heart of it or lack of economic opportunities? >> i think those go hand in hand. you can't decouple those things. there's economic equality. the equality happens to exist in places, but there's racism. >> do you believe that this president has advanced the cause for african-americans? >> of course he's advanced the cause. >> when you look at the indicators, if that was the indicator and it was a republican president, you would say i imagine this is a failed presidency. we go back to race, we don't want to talk about the record -- so >> when you look t president's record and what he stood for, of

course he's going to advance the progress on race. >> race relations are worse than ever. >> ask yourself why. that's the main question here. >> okay. so that's it. all right. okay. appreciate to see you as always. >> thank you. >> always the best dressed, by the way. i've complimented him on that and many more ahead. joe biden, he tells union workers to take america back during a fiery labor day speech. is he warming up for a 2016 presidential run? we hope you stay tuned for that. if you're suffering from constipation or irregularity, powders may take days to work. for gentle overnight relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, for relief you can count on. dulcolax, for relief you can count on. i'm on expert on softball. and tea parties. i'll have more awkward conversations than i'm equipped for, because i'm raising two girls on my own. i'll worry about the economy more than a few times before they're grown. but it's for them, so i've found a way.

in the unresolved problem segment tonight, will vice president joe biden make a rupp for the white house in 2 -- a run for the white house in 2016? he set a speculation following a passionate address to union supporters in detroit yesterday. >> folks, the american people have not stopped dreaming. the american people have not walked away from what they believe they are entitled to. just give them a chance. no handouts, just give them a chance. [ applause ] >> because once you give americans a chance, they have never, never, never, never, ever let their country down, never. folks, it's time to -- >> sounds like a campaign speech, doesn't it? i counted six nevers. joining us with reaction -- from charlottesville, virginia,

director at the university of virginia center for politics. doctor, aside from the fact that he said never, ever, ever -- i did count. it was six, larry. joe biden, i mean, it was -- like back in 2007, 2008, right? maybe 2012, like there's no record to talk about. it's just we're taking america back. i'm thinking where are they taking it back from? they're the ones in power. presumably, i don't know where they're taking it back from. >> yeah. i think it was a powerful phrase. they been in power already. if he runs for president and somehow manages to get the democratic nomination, it will have been eight years. listening to biden, lauer ai've always thought he's -- laura, i've always thoughts he's very much like the people who send emails and tweets in all capitals. >> wait, i -- i occasionally do that, larry. i better stop. it remind me kind of -- look, no, no. occasionally. but no, it's kind of like the

aging -- you know, from the 1970s rock stars when they try to squeeze into their white sequinned pant for the best of tour. you know, it's kind of endearing. but it's -- some being it make you uncomfortable -- something about it makes uncomfortable, and it's silly. is there much of a chance from biden running successfully against hillary, you know, does it change your analysis of what will happen in 2016, that he's all revved up and got the short sleeves and got going yesterday. >> look, he's dying to run. you know there is absolutely no vaccine. there's no cure for presidentialitepresidentia presidential-itis. all you need about biden is that he was elected to the senate at the age of 29 in 1972. he wasn't even at the constitutional age of 30 the night he was elected. my guess is within an hour, he was humming "hail to the chief."

this has been a long-term goal for joe biden. if he gets half a chance, he will run. 's difficult seeing him -- it's difficult seeing him defeating hillary for the nomination. he will be a logical nominee being the incumbent vice president, though he'll be 74 by inauguration day of 2017. >> that's young. 74 -- i mean, 70 is -- it's the new 50. that's right. the new 50, larry. but one final question, can he campaign, larry, where the president can't? so can he be an asset on the campaign trail like alaska or arkansas or -- or north carolina where obama is not popular? could send biden in there to stoke turnout, or is that just for entertainment purposes? >> well i think it's partly entertainment. of course that's where the scranton story comes. you know, white working class and he communicates so well with them. and has in pennsylvania and

other places in the past. you can make an argument for that. i can't think of an example other than spiro agnew where a vice president generated larger turnout for a party in a midterm. >> great to see you. thank you very much. outrage after hackers leave explicit private photos of more than 100 scelebrities. some are saying the celebrity should blame themselves for taking the stupid photos in the first place. that's coming up. introducing nexium 24hr finally, the purple pill, the #1 prescribed acid blocking brand, comes without a prescription for frequent heartburn. get complete protection. nexium level protection™ who's more excited about back to school savthe ladies?ples? these guys? or these guys? when you get guaranteed low prices

thanks for staying with us. bill o'reilly will be back tomorrow. in the "personal story" segment, growing fury after hackers posted nude photos of more than 100 celebrities. investigators are still looking into exactly how the hackers got their hands on these racy photos and who may be responsible. but some are saying the stars themselves are at least partially to blame. comedian ricky gervais faced a major backlash from fans and celebrities after tweeting yesterday, "celebrities make it harder for hackers to get your nude pics of you from your

computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on the computer." sound reasonable to me. joining me now for reaction from boston, "boston herald" columnist and radio host adrianna cohen. adrianna, look, these are private photos, whatever you may think of them, stored i guess on the cloud, wherever the cloud is. surprise, they're hacked. everything seems hackable. government computers are hackable at some point. why do people find this to be surprising that your information is accessible by people who want to sell it, make a little money, but these are private photos. >> i know. you know, i feel bad for the celebrities in some respects because nobody want their private contents stolen off their phones or computers. but they should have a little bit of common sense here. i'm going to have to implement tough love, you know, they should know that they are high-interest target s so to speak. they're famous, the world is fascinated with them. we live in an age of

sophisticated hackers. the cautious thing is keep your sexual life and sexual content off line. that's one option. or -- >> at least get a polaroid or old polaroid camera. if that's really what float your boat, keep it in house. >> go old school, go with the polaroid, that's right. or implement common sense cybersecurity things that exist that are not difficult, that would prevent hacker from penetrating their contents. for example, on apple, all they could have done was put in the two-step verification code, and that would have made it virtually bullet proof for hackers to get in and hack their stuff. my advance to celebrities, if you want -- advice to celebrities, if you want to make these scandalous videos or fake nude no -- or take nude photos, that's your prerogative. >> they have time on their hands. they're posing with the mirror and the flash goes off in the mirror. i mean, what -- is it only good-looking celebrities that

they post the photos of? there are some celebs you don't want to see. it's only the good-looking ones, kate upton, jennifer lawrence. are there any overweight celebrities? do we have the list? not that any of us care, i don't. >> so many of these women are absolutely beautiful. >> yeah. >> if they want to protect their privacy, they have to do common sense things like keep their -- you know, private scandal louse c -- scandalous information off line. >> these are celebrities, they're used to beinged, they have people -- being handled, they have people surrounding themming telling them they're wonderful 24/7. i think they feel invulnerable in many ways. they're above it all. whether some have a that's existic personality disorder -- narcissistic personality disorder i don't know. we all do stupid thing when we're young. we were talk during the break,

we're all glad that we grew up before there were any cameras everywhere. it seems like if you take a photo, you should just assume that that photo is going to be seen or an e-mail or post anything with what's happened with the tmz. remember, there was a tmz deal with bieber or someone -- it's hackable, everything is hackable. i don't care if you have two step, three step. seems like that's in the end kind of stupid. you're going to get hacked at some point. and so you've got to maybe not do the stuff in the first place. i would prosecute all these people. whoever's responsible for this should be prosecuted. >> they absolutely should be prosecuted. and i think their lawyers are going to be successful, and i think they could seek damage for their clients because think about it -- take kate upton. she gets paid a lot to show her body. she's a beautiful woman. whether modeling or product endorsement. say you're a "sports illustrated" or "playboy" magazine and may have wanted to pay her millions to appear nude

in your magazine. now nude photos get released of her, they might say, well, the public appetite, you know, has been satiated. so we no longer are going to -- >> devalued -- >> cut the deal with you. and then she loses out that revenue that she should be paid for. the only problem, a lot of hackers, they could be 19 with no money, you know? so the dry could be -- the well could be dry. and the lawyers may not find money to tap. >> yeah. in the end, none of this is surprising, right? everyone thinks it's not going to happen to us. we appreciate it. and quick housekeeping. we wanted to remind you to check out billoreilly.com. you can get replicas on parchment suitable for framing at a great price. hurty -- that means now. all the money bill gets goes to charity. next, an illegal immigrant kills two children in a hit and run. not only is she not getting

administration back in 2012 since she was a child when her parents brought her to the united states. so-called daca status. joining us from ft. worth, texas, is francisco hernandez, an immigration attorney. francisco, good to see you. this was a horrible case -- >> thank you. >> this was -- you can call me laura, francisco. >> thank you. >> it was a horrible case. this woman ran over two girls in a leaf pile. she was convicted of a felony, a felony hit and run, two counts. and then she doesn't get any jail time, goes to immigration, and the judge whose name will not be released apparently -- they're not releasing the name of the judge -- says she can stay in the country. do you support this decision? >> well, we don't know the basic reason, but i know -- i have researched this just today that it was at the behest of the parents of the victims. they pleaded with both judges not to have her convicted. they pleaded with the

immigration judge not to have her deported. so there's a lot more to this story than we know about, and most of it is confidential. you know the term due process. >> i wasn't a justice -- >> law clerk. the case was dismissed with prejudice. and they have full authority and ability to bring it in if they so desire. the issue is what the conviction was under state law. you know immigration law, state law. >> francisco, this has been -- i mean, look -- >> by the way, my buddy has a crush on you. >> you're a great guest and a trifblg advocate for your side of all this. but we havewo dead girls. hit and run counts. if you're illegal green cardholder. you're a legal immigrant in the country and you commit a felony,

you're instantly deportable. the case of conrad black who was convicted of patrick fitzgerald, all this felony -- the supreme court throws out the statute. the guy can't come back into the country. but he was legally -- he can't come back to the country. we have special status give tonight so-called dreamers who she dreamed all her way right into running over these two girls. i'm glad -- i feel bad for her, this shows us, this whole dreamer thing is a big farce. >> she didn't get to stay because of her dream acts status, she gets to stay because of the result of the state case plus whatever went on in the immigration court which up until now is completely confidential. and we're not able to find out. >> why are we not able to find out the name of the judge. and they're not going to say why it was dropped, why the case was

dropped, you may have sources, but ice is not revealing why this case was dropped. we already know that -- they can. they reveal all sorts of stuff when it's convenient to their agenda. i'll also remind you francisco 68,000 criminals have been released in the last year by ice. 167 murderers have been released by ice. we have people who have committed horrific crimes from rape to burglary and serious narcotics trafficking, who have been released back into our country and apparently are just melding into the community and we're supposed to think that this is all -- these are all valedictorians here? i think it's a fraud for the american people to have to deal with this. >> with your permission, we don't have enough time to defend all those cases, i don't know. however, we only have time to discuss this case, and we don't know what the circumstances are behind this case. however, i assure you, none of the cases you cited are here

or -- >> why was she here. she had daca status, did she not? >> yes, she did. however, even if she did not have, doesn't mean she would have been deported. she had the right to be here, we don't know that situation, i venture to guess she has -- i had a guy that was on the verge, on the precipice of deportation. turns out he was a citizen, he didn't even know it. >> we have enough criminals to deal with in the country. we don't need another new class of individuals. >> stephen colbert versus howie kurtz. this could be the start of a beautiful friendship or not 37 beautiful friendship or not 37 coming up. waves don't care what age you are. take them on the way you always have. live healthy and take one a day 50+. complete multivitamins. with 7 antioxidants to support cell health. research suggests cell health plays a key role throughout our lives.

the latest spat all about the media coverage of the rioting in ferguson. >> it's true, the presence of a camera clearly makes people behave recklessly, i don't believe for a minute that howie kurtz would have floated the idea that journalists are to blame for the ferguson violence if a camera wasn't pointed at him. nor his own safety, get this man off of television. >> steven, i am so touched by your concern for my well being, that i'm going to respond in kind. i hope you will be safe when you have to get in front of the camera at the late show and survive as yourself after dropping your protective cloak as a pompous blow hard. >> you've arrive d. >> i sure showed him. there is some humor impaired people out there who think we're in a blood food.

i know they engage in a little creative disorganization for comedic purposes. i thought i was taking the high road by saying good luck when you take over david letterman's show, when you're no longer a blizerring conservative anchor. >> right, that's what he plays. and that transition is going to be interesting to see. when he's criticizing you, i love making cobert real at night. they do the creative editing, that's fine. they need to do more of it and it would be a lot funnier, when joe biden repeats words 10 times for effect, that would be funny. >> it's more geared toward conservative -- >> i was trying to make a serious point about ferguson, he took it out of context. that's what they do, it's fine. it's like someone playing you on saturday night live, it's gold. i hope when he goes to cbs he'll

continue to make fun of me. >> kristen gillibrand, she made some comments about -- sexist remarks made about her weight or that she was chubby, and that some of her senate colleagues had made offhand comments in the gym to her at some point, she will not name those people who made these comments. she's a big liberal from new york. some of them were democrats. >> she won't even give us that. >> this is a book the senator has coming out, she's created buzz. >> that's the best thing in the book, that someone called her chubby? >> that's a pretty odd book. >> one of them grabbed her waist according to senator gillibrand and said, don't too much weight because i like my girls chubby, she doesn't have to bring this up. if she's going to put it in a book, she ought to name them. i think constituents ought to

know about this. she was losing weight, that's a compliment. oh, i like my girls chubby. oh, i get it. if there's people prowling around making these comments, we want to know who they are. who was it who called you chubby. first of all, she's a good looking woman, she's not chubby. that is it for us tonight. do not forget to go to lauraingram.com where you can sign up and become a laura 365 member, hear me any time you want anywhere you want. the weekend, facebook as well. thank you so much for watching, bill will be back tomorrow. and he is irreplaceable. when he makes fun of you, then you've really made it.
