tv   Red Eye  FOX News  November 13, 2014 12:00am-1:01am PST

12:00 am
comment tonight. thanks for being with us tonight. see you tomorrow night 7 p.m. eastern. dan sullivan will join us to go "on the record." good night. tonight on "red eye." >> >> coming up on "red eye" would pro golf be watchable if it was held in an ancient roman amphitheater? we report. you struggle to have a good time. does the president think we should make matthew mcconaghey's birthday a national holiday? >> the majority of americans agree with me on this and that's not something to be afraid of. that's something we need to embrace. >> and finally, meet america's next top athlete. but does he expect the ioc to change their stance before the next olympics? it is the interview you have been waiting to see. none of these stories on "red eye" tonight. >> i am filling in for greg gutfeld. turns out he was sick after all.
12:01 am
go figure. and now let's welcome our guests. her last name is brown. no relation to that bald kid, charlie. i am here with fox news anchor patti ann browne. what is black and blue and dead inside? it is andy levey, of course. like the cereal i had for breakfast he is a special k meal. owe cost of the independent -- co-host of the independents on fox business network. and he sounds like he smells like a dive bar. next to me is imus in the morning executive producer. >> a block. the lede. that's the first story. >> he is hammered and they are enamored. it is part social experiment and part prank. she stumbles around lake lange pre -- los angeles pretending to be drunk and asking people for help. if only they filmed it.
12:02 am
>> you don't need a bus. we are going somewhere else. >> where are we going go? i. >> my house. >> i got a water bed and all of that. >> it is thr is a party. >> you want to hang out? go back to my place? >> let's go. >> okay. >> come with me, i will take care of you at my place. >> really? what kind. >> you are not coming home with him. you are coming home with me. >> they are all cads. later the woman sobers up. >> come on. >> actually i'm feeling better thanks. >> what? >> actually i am feeling better. >> you know who will never sober up? this cat.
12:03 am
>> that was great. talent. i would fall over from dizziness. did we really need a video to prove that men are creeps? >> i don't think so. i guess the question is of course this happens all the time in clubs and in bars every night of the week. >> you go to clubs and bars every night of the week? >> matter of fact i do. >> how do we miss each other? >> does it make it okay to happen -- for it to happen in a bar or club as opposed to it happening in broad daylight which is exactly what happened. i have had a similar experience. may younger days i experimented and i was bi. i went home with a bunch of friends one time and i remember the whole thing, but i was tipsy. i woke up the next morning and there was a little what, what in the butt. but i remember it. i felt like i was violated. i didn't like it. i felt like there was a tonka
12:04 am
truck where it shouldn't be. i say it is not a good thing based on my personal experience. >> you are not on o'reilly and we don't talk about things like that here. >> i didn't caution anyone. >> that's a true story. that's a true story. it is a cautionary tale. >> talking about lessons that need to be learned. should we take away from the video that maybe women shouldn't -- i am going to keep this moving. maybe women shouldn't drink that much is that what the problem is? >> that's probably part of it. i think there was nobility there. one guy says come on, let's go back to my spot. we can hang out. and then he says i am not going to charge you. what a nice guy. normally when you invite a drunk chick back to your apartment to hang out you charge her money. i thought he was really noble.
12:05 am
>> interesting point, camille. she only went up to men. is this sexist? >> it may be sexist. i wonder if there wasn't a bit of nobility. i want to believe they didn't say let me help you get home was she was so inebriated she didn't know where she lived. i am going to take you to a safe place, back at my house. there is a water bed. it will be fun, awesome. there was even the tall guy who defended her from the short guy. she was obviously -- >> he said you are coming to my place. >> i'm safe. you can trust me and my tattooed arms. >> andy, there is a slight chance that this is a prank. should we hope that it is? >> i would say let's not rule out the possibility this is a fake. not because of what we saw. i fully believe that could happen, but there is a lot going around. the guy was going to take her to a water bed when you are drunk you do not need to be on a water bed.
12:06 am
that's the worst possible thing to do. it is just not that hard to be a good person. i don't understand why you can't be a good person. >> that brings up my theory. i think there were a lot of good people. this video happened in broad daylight. obviously middle of the day. there is a lot of palm around a. we only saw about four men in this video who tried to do this to her. i think there was probably like 50 who tried to help. that doesn't serve their point. >> that doesn't excuse these creeps who tried to take her back -- i mean these guys if this is not a hoax, those are quasi rapists if you ask me. there is no defending they guys. but it does happen. that's how guys take up girls at 2:30 in the morning at bars as you know. >> it is true on a serious note. one guy says i see you like to party. she is definitely being flirty and leaning in.
12:07 am
guys have to understand -- obviously she is smashed and that's not consent. >> although i do have to say about her acting it could have been a little better. when people are very drunk they tie to appear sober. they are like no i'm not that drunk. they try to walk in a straight line, but they can't. next time you do one of these videos keep that in mind. >> it wouldn't have served her point. everyone needed to foe she was drunk. >> yes, but if she was great actress, the intention should have been there. >> i think you are not understanding her motivation here, joanne. >> she is making an artistic point. another thing to be off fended about is they used a hot chick. they didn't use a plus sized -- >> who can still be hot. >> exactly right. i am off fended they were so super official. >> you just said it -- what
12:08 am
you said is worse than what any of those guys did. >> what i said? i am outraged. how can it be worse? >> i am going to shame you for the rest of the show. if you are single you can't mingle. a family-friendly theme park in england banned child less men and women from entering as a safety measure. they explained there is a lot in the headlines about pedophiles and things going on with children. one grandfather couldn't believe he was turned away when he went to see a display. he was at the park previously with his grandkids and said, quote, i was frankly amazed. i almost feel discriminated against. following an outcry on facebook they said 90% of the park is dedicated full 3 to child's play. we would veer be overzealous when accompanied visitors come with cameras than put children at risk. at the mouse amusement park.
12:09 am
♪ >> how does it talk so slowly? that's a talent. patti ann, you have a young son allegedly. i haven't seen this child. but do you think the park is being reasonable here? >> i keep my son hidden from view in the closet most of the day. i let him out for a couple of walks. this story you are telling us about happened in england, but it is in central park in new york city as well. when i was single i would go to central park and pass the playground that was fenced in and there what is a sign that said no single people allowed in here without a child. i was like, i feel like i should be really off fend -- off fen dead by that. but it was unprincipalled. why would i need to be in a playground?
12:10 am
am i going to sit on half of the see-saw alone? >> you don't want to see the flconry? >> that was the thing at the amusement park. the adult without kids said that is an adult thing. we make accommodations for that. most of the playground is just for kids and the playgrounds in sen stral park, it is not necessary. on the one hand i am like should i be pissed off about this? if you can't decide whether you should be or not, then don't be. this guy said i almost feel like i should be discriminated against. they don't be. >> you also have a kid or two or five which frightens me. >> i have two legit and several more. >> and several you may not know about. >> no, i know about them. >> would you be upset if they kicked you out? >> this is a hoax. what kid park has a falconry park?
12:11 am
what you watch birds fly? they don't have that attention span. whenner do pedophiles go? they go to where the kids are, of course. if you want to talk about the constitution and the bill of rights. what trumps what? a 50-year-old due fuss watched a bird display or a kid getting molested in a park. >> camille knows a lot about the constitution. >> we are in england though. >> it is a natural rights approach to this. you can totally tell people they can't come into your park if you want to. you ought to be able to. it is a property rights issue. >> it is a public park. >> is it? >> well central park is. >> i don't think this is. this is an amusement park.
12:12 am
it is sad for grandpa if he is just scouting it out. is this falconry safe for my toddlers, my grandson? will he be kidnapped by this bird and flown away someplace? i need to check it out first. i can understand why you would want to see if that's dangerous. >> how happy are we to hear what you said. i thought you were going to come down on the side of jerry sandusky. you never know. you can't figure a guy out. >> i wouldn't do that. >> as a lonely single man do you feel discriminated against? >> a little bit. >> can you go to any parks? >> i can, but i don't. this is lffensive to the adult baby community. the easy way around this is you go to the park with your fed do file friend. pedophile friend. you go together and they get around the whole single person thing. >> this is the unintended consequence.
12:13 am
>> what are you doing is bringing them together. >> you thought this who the thing out. >> they have had this policy for seven years and people are complaining now. they say most of the other parks have the same policy. they say they will speak to customers and review the policy, but they also seem to think that most of the customers will say no this is a good policy. i suspect they are right about that. >> i have a very ease -- easy solution. public parks should be like public libraries. everyone needs a cart so you -- a card so you are on file that way if you swipe a kid you have to return him. otherwise they will fine you. >> brilliant. >> but you can check the kid out. >> moving on. >> what i said wasn't the most effective. >> we have forgotten about that.
12:14 am
he got his hpd with the sla. the university of illinois is reconsidering hiring a symbionese liberation army terrorist. he served as an adgunct professor and then took part in a deadly bank robbery. kilgore financed gorilla warfare for their revolution. during one heist the customer was murdered and the mother of floor bleeding to death. kilgore was on the lamb for three decades until he was caught in 2002 and convicted of second-degree murder. patti ann, second-degree murder, not that bad. should the school hire him back? >> absolutely not. kilgore says in addition to this he does not think colleges should use background checks because that is an obstacle to formerly
12:15 am
incarcerated people. i think that's the idea. this guy was not in for shoplifting. he is in for murder. he has a whole group out l lobbying to get him -- i mean ear of seriously? you can't find a better cause. there has to be somebody convicted who is a fugitive for three decades. >> she a friend of kilgore. >> this man what he did he did for the cause. that makes it all different. he was fighting the man, you understand? it makes sense. to be serious, if he killed somebody because of their sexuality or race of course they would have nothing to do with them. it should be one standard and this is the same university who employs bill aires.
12:16 am
this is the poisonous atmosphere for those who make the tiring decision. >> and this is taxpayer funded. >> i don't want my tax money going to that man. although he is rehabilitated. should these people who have served their time should we not do these background checks? >> i will provide. nonanswer to this question. my older brother played football at university of illinois. he was a running back for them for awhile. this is exhibit 542 in why there should not be any federal funding. no government funding for universities. higher education is sufficiently competitive and we will find a way to finance our education. it is a dubious enough value for those who go to college. >> i love that word. >> it is good, isn't it? don't ask me to spell it. but we don't need taxpayer
12:17 am
dollars involved in that. >> andy, defend your heros of the symbionese hero federation. >> first of all, maybe change your name from kilgore. not the best look at this point. i am in general of hiring criminals or the ability of criminals who have served their time. if you served your time, you served your time. i would be more sympathetic if he didn't go on the lamb for the last 28 years. you spent almost 30 years trying not to be rehabilitated. i completely agree what you said about if he had committed -- not about that. if he had committed, quote, unquote, hate crime, how about if he was con vic testified rape? if he was convicted of rape those defending him now would not be defending him. they would say you can't be
12:18 am
rehabilitated. >> i think about my favorite team, the jets. michael vick, the dog fighting thing, there are people who feel he should not be playing football. he is not teaching young people. it is dog fighting. here is a murderer in front of a classroom shaping young minds, but people have less of a problem than that. >> that's one man i don't want to shape my mind because there may be cutting and things involved. coming up, andy and i rearrange greg's office putting everything on the top shelf. first, a space probe lands on a comet. i hope that is referring to comet, the tanner family dog on "full house."
12:19 am
12:20 am
12:21 am
12:22 am
that they check every text? parents are increasingly keeping tabs on their kids' phones and come suiters with spy tech -- computers computers with spy technology. >> "red eye" debate 2014 live from the" red eye" debate center. >> welcome to the "red eye" debate center. tonight we come to you from brigadoon so try to stay awake. keep your hands and arms in the debate at all times. should parents pry? an app from a p company called custodio can be installed on do vieses to restrict their web browsing and monitor for signs of cyber bullying and on-line predators. the coo told the new york post people say i don't want to spy on my kids, but all parents want to 3r0e -- protect their kids on-line. one guy put teen safe on his 14-year-old daughter's phone to track her texts. he says it is to monitor areas of potential danger.
12:23 am
and a mother hired a private-i to make sure her daughter wasn't doing drugs. >> oh. andy, you are both the cat expert and spying expert. should parents spy on their kids or lady it to the nsa? >> i expect this crap from greg, but not from you jie. i feel his hora. >> are you better than this. he is not. you are. i don't have any problem with parents keeping an eye on their kids cyber life. checking every text or snap chat may be excessive. doing spot-checks may be more reasonable. in general it is the parents' house and the parents are probably paying for the phone or the computer and they have every right to keep an eye on their kids. >> patti ann? >> you don't have to tell us if you do.
12:24 am
but if you do, should you tell your kid if you are looking through their text? should they know about it if you install this software on their phone? >> i think you should tell them. my son is 9 and he doesn't have a cell phone. >> good for you. holding out. >> he is pushing for it. here at work they tell us you don't own your e-mails e-mails and you don't own anything you do. we can look at it. people still do stupid things. it is not going to stop. it but i think it is okay to know. i also think that parents do have the right. as long as parents are going to get the blame if things go out of control, then they have the responsibility to take control. there is a lawsuit in georgia where a kid created a fake facebook page for a female friend and the parents are being sued for not paying close enough attention to what the kid was doing. we have the responsibility that you have to know your own kid. each situation is different. you know how far you have to go. you certainly have the right. >> with my kids -- are we
12:25 am
preparing them for adulthood for when they have jobs and e-mails and bosses and they don't have technology that is theirs? >> i don't really know about that, but i do know this. if you tell the kid you are spying on them, it defeats the purpose. not that i am for. it but it does president make sense -- it doesn't make sense to me. if the jerk you spawned is giving you reason for concern then you should spy on them. however, as a parent, i think spying on your kid is creepy. it is a gung tbel out there. jungle out there. they have to work through it themselves. if you are micromanaging every text and question, believe me you don't want to know half of the things they say. you really don't. it is creepy unless again there is cause, stay away. let them grow up. >> camille, a lot of the spying technology people use in relationships as well.
12:26 am
what is worse? spying on a significant other with this stuff or spying on a kid? >> i have never used these tools to spy on my wife and i don't appreciate you suggest as much. if it was my child, and i don't have any kids, but i totally support parental, total informational awareness. spy on their facebook and stalk them on twitter and instagram. be as creepy as possible. pick up their phones when they are sleeping and go through their text. make certain they are not doing anything that will come back to harm them and haunt them. they are yours and they live in your house. if you don't like it, move the crap out. >> as the only parent on the panel, i am hearing what everyone is saying, but i think we are all watching a little too much "law and order." i think all of this fear is just that. there is no evidence to back it up. researchers have shown that kids are not attacked as often as we think by on-line
12:27 am
predators. >> good point. >> the post article talks about it. people over blowing the sexual predator thing. that's not all you are looking for. there is sex, drug. >> what else are you looking for? >> sex, drugs. and then there is the bullying aspect going on. and then there is people doing foolish things and posting naked pictures of themselves that will come back to haunt them. they do a lot of foolish things. you have to keep an eye on it. >> give them some credit. 98% of the kids will be okay. they will see creepy things and will respond. leave me alone, blank hole and don't text me again. if you are in there and on top of them all the time and so over buyering, they will, a, recent it, and get around it and they will not grow up independent. >> andy, should parents be looking at the off line lives? >> no, not at all. >> all right then. >> that's a good point. kids used to just hang out with other kids and the parents would drop them off. they knew who their kids were
12:28 am
hanging out with. you saw them physically. now those visits are being replaced by the texting and the e-mailing. it depends on the age. it changes with the age. you still have to be aware with who your kids are interacting. i don't think you should micromanage the way bernie is saying to. i agree with that. >> i agree with you, bernie,. it should be based on the kid. if your kid seems well adjusted and happy and whatever and everything is fine, then you probably don't have to worry about it that much. you have the right to do it as a parent, but it is up to you. if a kid seems depressed or if you are in thing changes in behavior or mood, i think that -- at that point that's a time to take a close look. >> pot stains on the fingers and the eyes are bloodshot. >> and not sharing with you. at some point selfishness -- >> just confirms i am never having children. coming up, a story nobody could have predicted.
12:29 am
rapper eminem says the f-word. first a word from our sponsor. >> tonight's sponsor is chess. do you have three hours to kill and want to feel board and frustrated? you need chess. chess, the thinking man's game that nonthinking computer programs dominate. chess, we put the board in board games.
12:30 am
12:31 am
12:32 am
should we condemn eminem?
12:33 am
the rapper is in the crapper after his concert with value lore with profanity. tuesday's show that was streamed on hbo raises awareness for issues affecting veterans. let's take a look. >> make some [bleep] noise for rihanna. ♪ dc ♪ happy [bleep] >> i am told he dropped the f-bomb 86 more times after that. many on twitter, where else, denounced eminem's pearl form mans as disrespectful to veterans, but others defended him. one guy tweeting everybody complaining at eminem swearing at # concert for valor needs to chill out. soldiers fight for his freedom of speech. # get over it. what did this owl think? >> dc make some [bleep] noise dc, happy [bleep] veterans
12:34 am
day. >> andy, you served in the military. were you off fended by dash uh febded by this? >> no. i remember hearing that word once or twice when i was in the army. i am pretty sure every veteran has heard that word before. i don't think it was disrespectful to veterans a the all. i do think you are at an outdoor concert on the mall with a bunch of kids and you don't need to drop a bunch of f-bombs, but you got eminem to play your concert. i am not sure what you expected. >> patti ann browne is a huge marshall matthers fan. >> i thought we were talking about eminem. >> were you surprised -- or should everyone have been surprised or shocked? >> my gosh, who would have thought? no, obviously they knew what they were getting. he is, i think, a very, very talented guy. he has a lot of energy and he brings the younger crowd. we want the younger generation to appreciate our vets. i think that they thought all of that through before inviting him.
12:35 am
i think as andy said people in the military have heard the word before. i am not opposed to all swearing. it is certainly fine here and there when it is motivated and when appropriate. happy m-f-ing veterans day? there is no motivation and no context. he just throw itself out there over and over again. i wish he would cool it. he is a grown now -- he is a grown man now. >> he wished me a happy veterans day. >> you follow me on twitter. >> you do? >> i am now off fended -- offended. happy veterans day, andy. >> whatever. >> should the event organizers have asked him to clean up the act ahead of time? >> no. this is eminem. all of his songs for the most part, i searched the entire marshall matthers catalog, punching star lets and
12:36 am
songstresses, and mutilating his girlfriend and tieing up his mother in the closet. this is his schtick and if you weren't expecting him to do this at the concert i don't know what you were expecting him to do? poetic reading of god knows what? this is his thing. >> spoken word is nice though. in all seriousness, why do they call it a mall? no, really, truly. >> there are no stores there. you can't buy a purse. >> and people don't congregate at malls. they have a mission. they are shopping. >> it is not a hangout place. listen, what i think is what andy said. we have to stop treating the military like they are victims and patronizing them. the military people are tough. they are not suffering from some disease. they are tough people. eminem goes up and curses a little on hbo and it is no big deal. it wasn't a bunch of boy
12:37 am
scouts. what people should be upset about is what he said about punching plan gnaw del -- lanna del rey in the face and dropping a few f-bombs in front of our strong, tough military, relax is what i say. >> i love concert and i hope they do it next year. >> at least he didn't do like bruce springsteen, half a shoutout to bergdahl or whatever the hell. >> at least he did singing unlike bruce springsteen. andy gets so mad at me. >> i can't even right now. >> i can't even. next topic. on wednesday the european space agency made historic -- made history by landing the first ever probe on a comet. >> springsteen could have read that. >> the 220-pound lander was on a decade-long mission through the solar system to rendezvous with the icy space gong that is traveling 84 miles per hour. scientists hope the samples taken from the comet will
12:38 am
review how planets and even life evolved. patti ann, $1.8 billion is about the same as my shoe budget. do you think the money will be worth did? worth it? >> it is hard to say. think of how many people you could feed for that money. on the other side people say space exploration ladies to technological discovers applied to everyday lives and medical advances and whatnot. i think there is something to all of that. the disappointing thing is that after this thing hit the comet, it didn't anchor. now the european space agency is looking like it may have just bounced off and they lost all contact with it. they are not even sure they will drill and get the surface -- the samples from beneath the surface they were hoping for. >> if it doesn't anchor, if they can't get the samples should someone be fired and who should it be?
12:39 am
>> maybe for other reasons. i am a super geek. i love space. i am into space movies. i like space mountain, the ride, at disneyland, epcot center. >> that says a lot about you. >> i am skeptical about space travel. i don't know if we get value out of this crap. i don't know the international spacestation is helping to advance mankind. not sure if it is a good idea to spend taxpayer dollars to shuttle fruit bats into outerspace. >> bernie, disagree with camille. >> you don't know what you are talking about. you were way off the hook. >> do some research on it. >> you know what, i am still stuck on the icy junk. the icy space junk. i can't get past that. my juvenile mind is go going all over the place. >> the rocket blows up and you build another one and try again. this is technology.
12:40 am
this is how we discover things. >> we should keep sending kids to space camp? >> we should. keep them away from the icy junk. >> if we are landing things on comets, what is next, a man on the moon? >> i can only assume this is no big deal and not left it to the europeans. this just can't be that big a deal. the europeans did it. and have we blown up the comet yet? why else would you go into space and blow it up? >> if we are not blowing it up, then we are just wasting $1.8 billion. >> is that an armageddon reference? >> i am hearing aerosmith in my head. >> $1.8 million, if you can actually blow up the comet and film it, it is well worth the money. if you are not blowing it up, you are wasting my time. >> speaking of not wasting
12:41 am
money you said "interstellar" not worth it? >> i was disappointed. >> did you feel you were in space? >> i liked it. i didn't like the end, but i liked the visuals. >> don't tell us! >> i like space. >> i just know anne hathaway is in it so i'm not seeing it. time for a break. we band words when we get back. ç
12:42 am
12:43 am
12:44 am
12:45 am
if only a word could be unheard. it is time to rate those we hate. "time" the magazine and not the fourth dimension is asking people to vote. past winners were wtf, yolo and twerk. the nominees for 2015 include basic, bassie, feminist, kale, i can't even and yaass. specifically spelled with three a's and five s'. bernie, what word do you want to see banned? >> i want to see -- first i am not for banning words, but -- you know what i want banned? -- >> that doesn't surprise me. >> words like tro and mim and
12:46 am
things you twitter obsessed aging hipsters. >> aging? you look at me and say aging? >> you guys perpetuate these things. get rid of the words. kale? what do you want to ban kale for? and wtf? that's an acro anymore and not a word, yolo. >> there are phrases on this list of nominees. should freezes be in a different category completely? >> they want to ban i can't even. i don't mind i can't even and i like the whole don't even. we are both jets fans and we said don't even. and he is like, i know! sometimes that is just adequate why more than that? >> that was really good. >> is this list problematic or should problematic be added to
12:47 am
the list? >> that's a fair question. no it should thought be added to the list. it is a fantastic word. fablet. the word fablet has to go. it is the big clones -- >> i have never heard that? it sounds awful so let's stop. >> that's what they call it. they call them fablets. i can't stand the word. explanatory journalism should go away if phrases are okay. and after tonight i don't want to hear a tonka truck. >> how about really and seriously. really? seriously? it is time for that -- >> seriously. >> it is time for the garbage can. >> on a more serious note, is this list simply attacking women, social media users and hip hop culture? that's everyone who uses this. >> i haven't thought of that, but you are absolutely right.
12:48 am
if i were into banning words, i would probably ban turnt. >> what does that mean? >> turn up? >> it depends on the usage. it is turn up so we can be turnt up. >> turntup. >> i voted this afternoon for a basic cash -- i use it too much. but it shows after you vote who is ahead. at 2:30 feminist was ahead at like 45% and everything else was in the teens and less. is that a problem though now? is it a good thing that we are using the word feminist more or is it a bad thing? are way using it in the wrong way? >> i think feminists don't like to be called feminists like liberals don't like it. i don't have a problem with a
12:49 am
feminist or a liberal. the people who are, those things, they don't want to be called that. >> who do you have a problem with? >> i have a problem with you and your attitude. >> the reason feminist is ahead and that's the fine people over at fortan -- sorry, bernie. >> he is so cool. >> they are trolling "time" magazine. >> they are trolling on their fablets. >> how about the word bully? is that not over used. >> cyberbully. >> somebody is pushy. >> if we get rid of the cyberbullies people can't do it because it is gone. like kale. get rid of it. >> black friday, start your shopping lists now. the conference call.
