5:00 pm
@greta. so easy. go to gretawire.com and answer. this does it make a difference if we call the violence terrorist act of war or not? vote in our poll. up next the o'reilly factor. good night. the o'reilly factor is on tonight: >> the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam. it's time to heed the words of grande intolerance is itself a form of violence. >> is the obama administration avoiding the real issue? defeating the jihad? almost all the reaction to the terror attack in paris has been not to bother muslims. we will continue our reporting on this. >> the defense of freedom of the press, freedom of expression, those foundations to our laws are there to protect negative speech. >> the freedom of speech issue is interesting but again not the crux of the jihad matter. we'll take a look at how the world is reacting to islamic extremism. >> we are not on our own
5:01 pm
because he, he is with us. >> also tonight, can politicians like mike huckabee be elected in america anymore or has secularism overwhelmed them? laura ingraham 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. where is u.s. policy to it fight the jihad? where is it? that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. as we reported last night, president obama has been very quiet in reacting to the muslim killers murdering 12 more people in paris france. president's only statement was that we cannot let a few people inhibit freedom. as talking points pointed out last night we're not dealing with a few people here. maybe a few million but most likely many more. the islamic jihad is very
5:02 pm
active in the following places. syria, iraq iran, turkey egypt, libya algeria, most immigration nations in western europe. afghanistan, pakistan, yemen, somalia, the philippines, indonesia and on and on. in africa the continents' largest economy nigeria is being directly threatened by the jihad. and here we have the most powerful man in the world barack obama say the problem is being caused by a few? very troubling. the truth is that extreme islam has taken deep root in the world. and is at the source of ultra violence all around the globe. that's the truth. in "new york times." the huffington post and new york media you will not hear that after a the murders in paris after we read is the following all muslims are not bad. freedom of speech is good. we must not demean muslims or create islamophobia.
5:03 pm
look we so if respect islam we should not go out and poke our finger in other people's eyes. everyone should have a right to critique islam but at least we should do it with some sense of respect. >> nowhere on the left did you hear a solution about how to combat the jihad. ever since he was elected in 2008, president obama's rhetoric has been soft soft on the muslim threat. >> the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet islam. it's time to heed the words of grande intolerance is itself a form of violence. >> isil is not islamic. no religion condones the killing of innocence and the vast majority of isil's victims have been muslim. >> i notice you don't use the term war on terror. only once since inauguration. is there something about that term you find objectionable or not useful? >> you know i -- i think it is very important for us to
5:04 pm
recognize that we have a battle or a war against some terrorist organizations. but, that those organizations aren't representative of a broader arab community, muslim community. >> let's take a hard look at the broader muslim community. there are about 1.6 billion muslims on the planet. most of them are good people. but a substantial minority are evil islamic faith in general can easily be used to condone violence. like the old testament there are a number of passages in the koran that say hurting other people is acceptable. here's an example. we will cast terror into the heart of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with allah of which he had not sent down any authority and their refuge will be the fire and wretched is in the residence of the wrong doers.
5:05 pm
now, all scripture, the bible, the koran can be interpreted in many ways. so this is not a defining passage for islam. but it does reflect the thinking of millions of fanatical muslims that if you are a gleefer you deserve to be punished or killed. that is at the heart of the jihad. and that is what the west is avoiding. you can't keep saying most muslims are good and then do nothing to neutralize the bad muslims. the world continues to turn away from the threat. and the threat continues to grow this is the same thing that happened in the 1930s, most germans were not nazis but they looked the other way as hitler and his homicidal crew committed atrocities. most japanese did not endorse mass murder against civilians, but they continued to support their militarized government which did that all over asia. the result about 6 million
5:06 pm
german civilians were killed. and about 3 million japanese died in world war ii tim the majority of muslims should have joined with america and other nations to fight the jihad. but, they have not joined. pakistan, iran many other muslim nations actually help terrorists, that's got to stop the way to make it stop is to slap economic embargoes on pakistan iran and other offenders. nobody trades with them. but the world will not do that until there is a catastrophe that makes 9/11 look like a school dance. and if things keep going the way they are going. that catastrophe will occur iran is close to getting nuclear weapons. plij wall warfare is a viability with all over the place. there is no question the jihadists will commit mass murder if they can. where on earth is america's
5:07 pm
policy to fight the jihad? where is it? why are we still dealing with pakistan when that country imprisoned the doctor who led us to usama bin laden? it is long past time that president obama and all the other western leaders stop talking nonsense. and begin formulating a coordinated plan. it's time to stop making excuses for muslim nations who don't fight the jihad. we are either going to live in a civilized world or we are going to be destroyed. it's as simple as that and one more thing you may remember i was in the forefront of stopping a proposed mosque on the site of the world trade center here in new york city. i said there was not a construction crew in the area that would build that mosque because the location walls inappropriate. that was not an anti-muslim
5:08 pm
play just logical. you don't build a benny hanna at pearl harbor. the was not built. i was vilified in those precincts. tonight i want to bring you back to the confrontation i had on "the view." >> let me give you an example. the mosque, the mosque down here on 9/11, that's inappropriate. it's -- sure, they have a right to do it and the constitution but it's inappropriate because a lot of the 9/11 families who we don't know say we don't want that it shouldn't be there there's the president going well, they have a right to do it. >> this is america. >> hold it. hold it. >> we're americans too. we agree with him. >> what about him? >> you agree with him. >> i'm an american. >> let me break this to you, 70% of americans don't want that mosque down there. so don't give me the we business. >> i don't want to sit here now, i don't. >> you are outraged about
5:09 pm
muslims killing us on 9/11? [cheers] >> now i submit ms. behar and ms. goldberg feel the same way as they did back then. after all this time, all the deaths, all the beheadings, all the mindless violence, the left in america still will not get it there is a problem in the muslim world. and sadly among those who will not get it is president obama. that's the memo. next on the rundown we have two opposing points of view. later, bernie goldberg will analyze how the media is covering the pairs terrorist attack. the factor is coming right back. introducing the new philips norelco shaver series 9000 with contour detect technology that flexes in 8 directions for the perfect shave at any angle. go to philips.com/new to save up to $40. innovation and you. philips norelco. do you suffer from constipation or irregularity? trust dulcolax® for dependable relief. try free at

5:13 pm
let me begin with you where am i going wrong? >> thank you for having me on the show, bill. >> sure, any time. i think what you said is a mixture of things, a lot of what you said is true. we have been saying it as muslims the truth is there is a problem of violent extremists who are narrow-minded, violent and murderers, they are the product of many factors ignorance, hatred, narrow-minded interpretation of religion. poverty, dictatorship. a lot of factors and they need to be addressed the trurstd also is the muslims around the world including in america. are doing a lot to counter that. >> i disagree with that and let's get specific, pack san. find usama bin laden nothing happened tom pakistan for doing that the presidency could go more. we continue to look away not compromise. we are looking away from the
5:14 pm
doctor who is in a dingy jail for helping the world rid itself of usama bin laden. now, let's. >> i will get back mr. teren, where am i going wrong? >> well, bill, it's not just that muslims in pakistan are doing nothing. there is muslims on the front lines in iraq, in syria in afghanistan that are dying. >> let me answer the question bill. >> it's a trend. >> this is the no spin zone. here is the deal in the no spin zone. >> i'm not spinning. >> that's ridiculous. i'm going to interrupt you. >> no, no, no, no pakistan, stay in pakistan. all right? >> i will stay with pakistan. >> the worst terrorists on earth for 10 years. >> i agree with you. >> so we haven't done anything to pakistan for doing that allow me to finish my point. my point is there has been over 50,000 pakistani soldiers and policemen who
5:15 pm
have died as a result of the war on terror. as a result of extremism. yes, we should punish those who harbor terrorists and harbor usama bin laden. on the front lines in iraq in syria, in places like that, muslims are the primary victims of terrorism. and we have to work together. >> that makes it worse that the governments won't move against the jihadists. >> i'm not saying that there are individual muslims but individuals can't solve the problem let's get back to you, have you iranian situation where these people are defying the world, they are gonna get the nuclear weapon, all right. that's going to change worldwide terrorism all over the place. what are we doing against iran mr. aliewsh? what are the other muslim nations doing about it? nothing. >> until we are serious in committing and supporting democracy in that region, we are not going to see change, bill. >> what does that mean? you want to invade the country? >> no, not invade the
5:16 pm
country. you know, for the last many years paid with their only blood to fight extremism. >> some of them have not all of them. if you wanted to have democracy in iran the people could rise up and kill the mullahs. >> they tried. >> that's what you have to do. that's why america broke away from great britain. we fought them. the iranians won't fight the mullahs. >> to the credit of the iranian people there is something called the green revolution. >> it's not enough of them people in egypt tried to have a item casey and we supported a coo. >> supported a coo against the muslim brotherhood killing christians. >> the first democratically elected government. >> had you a muslim brotherhood massacring christians.
5:17 pm
>> unless we are committed to democracy. unless we are seriously committed to democracy not the democracy that brings our puppets. we are not going to see an end. >> don't you get the muslim brotherhood is a result -- do you get the muslim brotherhood? do you get them? they murder people. >> if they play by the democratic rules and if they respect human rights, we will work with them the wizard oz can solve all the problems. i submit to you that this world is being crippled by islamic extremist and the world is too cowardly to unite against them. would you say that's wrong? >> bill, what these are extremists who have perverted a faith. over 1.6 billion muslims on this world on ho on a daily basis do great work.
5:18 pm
seven out of the last 11 nobel peace prize winners were muslims bill. what we have to do is come together with muslim majority countries and our society as americans. >> here is what we have to do -- >> -- back against extremist ideology. if we allow them to divide us, they are dividing us if we allow them to. >> we have to pakistan and make them the example. we have to say no to trade to pakistan. no money in, nothing. starve them out. >> we have to stand together as muslims, as jews as christians as secularists. >> pie in the sky. not going to happen. all right, i didn't. >> that's not pie in the sky that's what we should be doing against these terrorists and extremists. >> it will not happen. >> it will happen because america is an example of it happening, bill. >> all right. guys. directly ahead, white house correspondent ed henry on why president obama is avoiding the pa recognition terror attack.

white house insider. joining us from washington fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry. to me, it's very strange. you had the attack in canada. you had the attack in australia. africa is chaos. you have got 200 girls kidnapped by the jihadists. you have got paris. you have got ongoing middle east isis situation and now you know, president obama is in phoenix talking about the economy and doesn't even mention this. isn't that a little strange? >> well, he talked about every single one of those
5:23 pm
that you mentioned and yesterday he did mention paris. >> there is a few people doing that and we shouldn't really be affected by them. was that good statement? >> i heard what you said you don't think it's good enough. >> not me not thinking it's not good enough. a few people? and how many people countries did i run down? do you want me to run down who more? >> i'm sure you have got to the list. >> i do. >> this has been a six year situation where can i tell you are not happy with, you know the president's focus on this. i think it's very clear that he is trying to focus on other things and not make this the top priority. >> why though why doesn't he see the threat? i mean, you have got iran. this close, this close. >> he sees the threat. what you have to acknowledge though bill, knock wood, there hasn't been an attack here on our homeland, you know, like you saw yesterday. >> you saw the boston marathon bombing. >> you had fort hood which the administration won't call a terror attack and that's a whole other story
5:24 pm
that probably ties into what you are trying to get at. i'm not saying there haven't been any and we shouldn't minimize any one of them by the way but there has been a few. every single one is one too many. but i think the president is trying to let the situation in paris play out at least a little bit and not get ahead of the. >> how long have you been covering barack obama? how long have you, ed henry, -- >> -- six and a half years. >> so you have been been there from the beginning, right? >> yeah, day one. >> what's president obama's policy to defeat the jihad? >> well, i think first of all if you look at isis he has laid out a policy of air strikes but not ground troops and partnering with countries what's the policy? >> i don't think he has a policy. >> there is no policy. >> jihad worldwide. >> i think if you are credit siding and saying it's more piecemeal. i think you have a case. because he is picking out spots that he is focusing on. >> are we friends with pakistan? we send them money a couple
5:25 pm
billion, right? >> to who? >> pakistan. >> sure. >> are we friends with them? >> well, the president is going to india in about a week or two and is not stopping in pakistan. at least it hasn't been added to the schedule yet. i think that was a message to pakistan that they need to clean up their act a bit and you are certainly right there are huge problems with focusing. >> we are sending them a couple billion taxpayers money we don't have a trade embargo against them. we have a trade embargo against the castro brothers for a lot of years. >> happy ending. >> isn't that doctor still in jail over there that helped us get bin laden he is in jail. didn't the jihadists kill hundred children up there in pakistan? didn't they do that? he has a state of the union address coming up. he is not going to give the state of the union address about jihad. give the state of the union
5:26 pm
address about how he thinks the economy is recovering like you are going to attack that. >> i think the economy is very very important. i would like to see a u.s. policy to defeat the jihad. call me crazy, henry, call me a mad man. >> i will keep asking for it policy to defeat the jihad. a little one a small one maybe it could grow. get that message to him from me, please. >> i will. happy new year. you are fired up for the new year. >> not a happy new year to the 12 people dead in paris is it. >> that's true. >> ed henry, everyone. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. bernie goldberg on how the media is terrorist attack. assess the "new york times" and huffington post. and laura ingraham on whether politicians like mike huckabee could ever get elected again. hope you stay tuned to those reports.

5:30 pm
impact segment tonight. as ed henry mentioned, president obama is largely staying away from commenting on the latest terror attack in paris. as you may remember, islamic killers hit canada australia, africa and a variety of other places in the last few months. yet, there does not seem to be any policy coming out of washington to fight the jihad. jessicaer lick and here in the studio angela tantaros. i want to say something to the audience. i disrespected the two guests that came on the top of the show they didn't have anything specific.
5:31 pm
blathering we have to get together and got the to beach and go to camp together. that's a waste of everybody's time. all right? the truth is we have no policy to defeat jihad correct? >> that's correct. i think we have a policy running counter to fighting jihad. >> really? >> i do, bill. at a time when she wee should be amping up interrogation tactics keeping gitmo open, we are at war with the cia. basically in this country this administration with that torture memo is really going against the cia. we are fighting with the the dod on the strategy do combat isis. the law enforcement issue all over the nation right now. look at the way this administration treats the associated press, i mean freedom of the press for the president to talk about that yesterday, is he at war with the first amendment. >> freedom of press doesn't really have anything to do with the jihad, does it. >> everything we are supposed to be doing with the exception of i would say, droning terrorists, we are not doing. so instead of having a strategy to fight the war on
5:32 pm
terror, we are actually, i think, emboldening it. >> all right, jessica, do you see any strategy on the part of the obama administration to counter the violence that we're seeing on consistent basis around the world by the jihadists? >> i do, actually, i think a lot of it has to it do with the policy that we have implemented going back to after 9/11 with the 9/11 committee reports that's been ongoing process. >> you can tell me what the policy is. in 30 seconds to go and to find the jihadists. it's to seek out jihad wherever it may be. >> seek out? >> and have all of our agencies, including the state department the treasury department, the cia, the fbi working with nations across the world. >> can i stop you now. >> in order to share information and defeat them. >> can i stop you? >> sure. >> you just said the u.s. policy under president obama is to seek out the jihad wherever it may be, correct? >> yes. >> okay. the cia i think it's
5:33 pm
american policy not just obama policy. >> all right. the cia and the administration know exactly where isis is in syria. they know exact town is they will not send ground troops in to seek them out. that seems to run against what you just stated. >> no, they are not made now solely as they were pre-9/11 by one agency he brings agencies together. another example you mentioned earlier financial substantials. there is a very important group tax force on terrorism, finance and proliferation. and they look into making sure that our agencies are working together. >> they look into it. all right. but pakistan still sending them 2 billion to pakistan. >> yeah. because there is an american policy that is being. >> not working. i hate to be abrupt but bs has to walk when people are
5:34 pm
dying all over the place. you don't like president obama. you are a conservative woman and you don't believe that he is -- he has the fire in the belly to confront, this am i correct? >> you are correct. >> you don't believe that he has the fire in the belly. i think that the facts show that that is true. henry just alluded to it that he is going to make the state of the union about the economy. he is going around talk about this bad news doesn't know what to do. i think it puts us in danger. >> i think it puts us in enormous danger. you asked for a very specific example bill. jessica said that we are going to seek out jihad. we had the killer, the man who was responsible for benghazi who stood up and said imright here the "new york times" found him drinking a central berry frap pay. where is the justice bill? everything that we are doing now, releasing terrorists that are returning to the battlefield, everything that we are doing condemning the cia. >> no doubt it's soft. >> condemning those who slander the process. >> let me give jess cat last
5:35 pm
word here. both andrea and i feel that the president's avoidance of the jihad issue is endangering americans and all over the world other people. do you agree? >> i don't think that the president is avoiding the i jihad issue. we have a disagreement on whether or not we support the president and what he has been saying. i know for a fact that the agencies that are working on these issues are doing so. i mean, much in the same way sometimes when we don't take someone down when we find them initially is the same way they say they are going offer a mopster. they are building their networks. you said earlier we have to find these people because we are not infiltrating them in pakistan. i think we are in constant danger. i think since 9/11 we have been. we have to recognize that we are at war and there is not an ongoing policy. this is going to take decades. this ♪ going to go away. we have to continue to be vigilant regardless hough is president. it has to be congress led. >> congress can't lead. it mass to be one

5:40 pm
thanks for staying with us i'm bill o'reilly. how the liberal press sees the jihad. annual lying the huffington post today there are no conservative articles about the pairs terrorist attack. freedom of speech is good. "new york times" the overall theme is don't get mad at muslims. joining us now from miami the purveyor of bernard goldberg.com mr. goldberg. i'm oversimplifying but just a little correct? >> yeah. i think what liberals, whether they write for the "new york times" or merely read the paper and nod an agreement, i think what liberals are really worried about, bill, is simply backlash. they see white cops needlessly and in a racially -- racial way
5:41 pm
attacking innocent young black men. they talk about white privilege. and in this case i think they are afraid that there are a bunch of yahoos out there who want nothing more than to beat up innocent muslims because of what. >> that doesn't happen after 9/11. >> exactly. >> we are a society that is ruled by law. >> right. it's a false narrative. but it's gonna happen in europe. you are already seeing it. you are already seeing germany, even in sweden, people -- and holland, they are furious about it. >> so here is an idea. given the influence that i have in the muslim community will go nowhere. so maybe one of the liberal columnists like nic kristof of the "new york times" who is so concerned about all of this, maybe he will pick up on this idea. here's the idea. a million muslim man march. on washington on paris on london, on madrid, on cairo on rihad and every other
5:42 pm
capital in the arab world so they say not because they have committed any crime but because they are the good muslims, the ones who say you are not going to get away with doing this don't slander islam by your violent tactics. we asked come on because he is the biggest about muslims. how dare you impugn he won't come on. your idea is brilliant. >> thank you. >> let's start in london us because that's where have you concentrated in a very very small area. >> i want it on the same day. >> that's not going to happen. but in london england. >> it's not going to happen any place. you are north going to get 27 muslims out to march. and condemn. >> i bet you can get a couple of thousand in washington. i bets you that you could do that if cair would do it or
5:43 pm
one of these groups would do it. >> in a country of 300. >> should do it. >> in a country of 350 million people you get a couple of thousand people out to march for anything. >> i would like to see that in detroit there is a big muslim community. let's go in detroit. you don't have to go to washington. go march on the civic center or something. >> here is another coverage. if there were real journalists around in the 1200s and they would look at the inquisition and one of the things they would be writing about and asking about if they were serious journalists they would say what is wrong with these catholic people. why are they so violent? why are they torturing people? there would be some curiosity about what it is in that religion that made people do those things. you don't see that curiosity in american journalism today about islam.
5:44 pm
now, i'm not -- look, we all know that most muslims are good people. the overwhelming, that's not the issue. but journalism has on obligation to say what is is t. about the religion that produces so many fanatics and that's not something they are interested in not interested in it because in order to confront the jihad you have to make a judgment that a portion of the muslim population is evil. you have to make that judgment the left will not make that judgment on that group they will make it on the police or the tea party or me or you but they won't do it on the muslims because they are poor, because america has exploited them for oil and on and on. last word. >> last word? exactly right. you are exactly right. >> as usual.

communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn't act so surprised when all hell breaks loose. >> with us now here in new york city ms. laura ingraham. so, can a politician like mike huckabee get elected in a nation america that is going increasingly secular? >> i think it's hard bill. i think social conservatives are in a bind for 40 years now they have wanted one thing first and foremost which is roe vs. wade to be overturned. all their effort, all the great marches it hasn't happened. we have had republican presidents who say they are going to put people on the court and will help and it doesn't happen. there is some demoralization going on in the social conservative community. that having been said, huckabee is a formidable voice. is he a great speaker. i think he should have gone and been senator from arkansas. i think he would have had a better platform to run for president than just as a talk show host. it's a little hard. so a friend of mine emailed me a chicken wing and a
5:50 pm
prayer. >> everybody knows huckabee he ran last time. he has fairly good q rating which means people are aware of him. he to his credit i think he is no phony, is he a baptist minister. >> he can speak to the people. >> and he hasn't wavered. >> he has an ability to speak to the people. >> he believes that america needs god to come back -- >> -- a lot of people agree with him. we have a spiritual deficit. bill, show me the pathway to the nomination for hike huckabee, as powerful as a nomination for mike huckabee? as powerful a speaker, and i think has a strong record from arkansas, some tax issues probably that are going to come back to bite him, but that was litigated in 2008. show me the pathway to the nomination, especially when you're up against really successful current governors. people like the new thing, right? they like the new thing. so maybe it's a walker or kasich. >> assume in the early primaries of iowa and a few other places though they're saying they may not have the iowa caucus.
5:51 pm
>> not even have a primary. >> he'll do okay. but i agree with you that it's going to be hard for him to beat a jeb bush or if mitt romney decides to go or something like that because we are a society that isn't any longer responding to god and country. that seems to have been diminished. >> i think the striking the balance that someone maybe like a christie or a scott walker could do mike pence, john kasich, where they are conservatives. they are to a large degree social conservatives. but the most important thing most people believe is facing the country is economic stagnation. the middle class is stuck. they can't get out of this middle class stagnation. they want a pathway to american renewal. balance social conservative concerns. >> and jihad we're talking about. >> right. but you can't be an elite who kind of looks down your nose at the social conservatives and expect that they're going to come rushing to you or go knock on doors for you. you have to be respectful. >> gay marriage was a bill brawl five years ago.
5:52 pm
>> well yeah. and i think social conservatives are seeing that. but a lot of them bill, i imagine will either drop out of politics altogether focus on their families maybe evan jalizing or local state politics where they have had a lot of success in senate races in house races, state houses. i think social conservatives are actually doing well in that arena. >> uh-huh. >> but on the national front they're going to have to have a new generation of people that come to the floor. >> so you don't think mike huckabee can do it. >> chicken wing and a prayer. and i like mike huckabee. >> and jeb bush? >> jeb bush is the dominant figure in american republican politics today. conservatives have to figure out what they're going to do when jeb bush raises $200 million. >> will you support him? >> i'm not a jeb bush fan, but i will support him. common core and amnesty, i just can't do it. >> of course you select him over hillary clinton. >> well, i'm not a hillary clinton fan, but i would probably focus more on state and governors races. >> so you would sit it out?
5:53 pm
>> i'm not going to sit anything out but put my focus on state races and senate races. >> one note, governor huckabee will be here on "the factor" tomorrow. and "the factor" tip of the day about killing jesus. now, you secularists, you got to listen to this. the tip moments away. want to know how hard it can be... ...to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled...

bill, last night in talking points you called muslim terrorists on the fringe of islam. the cia estimates 40% of all muslims are radical. we can find no such statement or analysis by the cia jay. i suspect you read that somewhere on the net. islam is not compatible with democracy, you and the rest will not admit it. so risking their lives to vote, i guess you missed that. okinawa, japan. my father used to say the difference between liberals and conservatives is the ability to think logically. after listening to howard dean call the islamic killers a cult, i realized how smart my father was. connecticut, bill, you call the nypd professional yet you laughed at them leaking embarrassing things about al sharpton. that's unprofessional. and was done by just one or two police officers. does not reflect on the entire department. as you know.
5:57 pm
the reason i brought it up at all was to demonstrate how much the cops loathe sharpton. i did not endorse the action. mike haywood california, why the personal attack on john boehner. i don't see you and miller mocking people on the left. are you kidding me? are you kidding me mike? two names, pelosi and reid. and poking fun at the speakers is not personally attacking him. wise up. naples, florida. boehner has a place on marco island, that's where the tan comes from. i didn't know that. i love marco. you can get burned down there. jim andrews, albuquerque new mexico, my tickets to don't be a pinhead show in rio rancho say april 11th, you said april 4th. my mistake, jim. i want to get down there. miller and i will see you down there on saturday april 11th at the santa anna star center. looking forward to it. great time to be in the land of enchantment, new mexico. bill, i've fired off e-mails to
