that is all the time we have left this evening. thanks for joining us. we'll see you back here tomorrow night. >> "the o'reilly factor's" on. tonight -- >> what i've done my whole life is win. we had 17 people and i ended up winning. >> a political scientist says trump has an 87% chance of becoming president. is that hooey or based on reality? we investigate. >> we don't pay ransom. we just don't pay ransom. it is our policy. this was not ransom. any suggestion that it had anything to do with ransom is absolutely and utterly false. >> wall street journal angering the white house. we will take a look that. also, ahead, miller on olympic chaos, and goldberg on the new york times possibly protecting

hillary clinton. >> help us go out and win an election. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. factor begins right now. >> time to o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. what folks think about the trump campaign. that's the subject of tonight's talking points. unfortunately the press largely defines the campaigns for president and as we all know, the american media leans sharply left so we the people are often barraged with propaganda rather than reality. as an example, a populous newspaper, usa today, signed a jihad against donald trump posting negative headlines day after day. sometimes mr. trump deserves to the headlines but there's little balance in that paper. now it is certainly true that most voters do not rely on the media to make decisions but some

uninformed americans are swayed by what they believe is popular opinion. so tonight i want to give everyday folks a voice commenting on the trump campaign itself.which has taken some hit the controversy. marcus smith who lives in hagatna, guam. he wrote, mr. o, kirsten powers is correct, stating that you were overgenerous to trump regarding his muslim comments. this proves you are endorsing him. no, i said it is important when launching critical arguments and the press rarely provides context. when speaking about muslim women, trump raised the inequality argument which is certainly valid when discussing islam. is it not? while that cannot be applied to mrs. khan herself, because we don't know her circumstance, that was a trump mistake, we

must be sensitive to mrs. khan. because of a great loss. but the general point was mentioned by me to provide context. james love writes from norman, oklahoma. so we are down to a choice between someone who does stupid things and lies about them as opposed to someone who says stupid things and tries to justify them. kind of dark, james. so the question is, for everyone, who's better to run the country? patrick neuman checks in from manchester, new hampshire. o'reilly, you dropped the ball when trump said he was viciously attacked by mr. khan. hoinlt was also attacked by dozens at the rnc and didn't respond. i pointed out how hillary clinton handled the broad side. didn't i do that? second, there is a style difference between clinton and trump.

he confronts, she is far more measured. that will be interesting to see how it plays out in the debates. that's a key. carol rolo from pensacola, florida. o'reilly, after last night's interview with trump, i finally realize what is wrong with him, he lacks wisdom. obviously anyone in that position will make mistakes. it is how fast that trump learns from his mistakes that will make or break his campaign. gina mendoza writes, from miramar, florida, the democrats are baiting trump hoping el explode. why can't anyone in his campaign tell him that? i'm sure they have told him that. and trump knows it as well. he is a shrewd man. but it is discipline that defines how any candidate reacts. discipline is the key to this

election. and hillary clinton is very disciplined. i believe we're all trying to vote responsibly. emotion rules the race, and that's an good thing. and that's a memo. now for the top story as we reported monday. a political scientist at new york stony brook university said his model shows trump has an 87% chance of winning the election. helmet norpoff laid out his model in news day. what say you, mr. roe? >> well, bill, there is not a lot to study there. models, if you want to verify them, you have to look at the equations they used to look at numbers that rise to 87%. anyone can go on-line to primary mod

model upon t model.com. there is no calculation or formula. he looks at basically three things. is this a third-term election? that's to say, has the white house been held for eight years by one party, and if so then a third-term election and advantage goes to the party out of power. that's pretty standard. he then says beginning in and looking at elections beginning in 1952, only the new hampshire primary has been used as a rule. south carolina has been added to gauge primary performance this year. he look at two primaryes. new hampshire and south carolina but does not explain how he looks at them. what does that mean? does that mean he said trump did better in south carolina and new hampshire? what does that mean? and for example, 1988, there are more people who voted in the republican primary in new hampshire and george h.w. bush gets more votes than the number of people who voted the democratic primary for massachusetts governor michael dukakis. but that may simply be the fact that in 1988 there were a heck

of a lot more registered republicans in new hampshire than there were registered democrats. unlike today where it is relatively a third, a third, a third. i don't find enough in here to make -- >> so you think that's hoey then. 87% is not -- >> i can't figure out how he gets to 87%. >> that's why we gave it to you. because you're an analyst. you look at those things. that's what you do. now i think the democratic strategy has changed from issues into personality. that they will run on one thing and one thing only at this point, that trump's not suitable, whatever that means. and they will define it whatever way they want, to hold the office. am i wrong? >> no, i think that's been their plan all along to make that the dominant note. and he has given them ammunition the last two weeks to make it larger than would he have planned at this point. >> i don't know if that's from the jump. you know, in the beginning, hillary clinton was challenging him on issues.

now it's all turned around. with a powerful ally in the press. the clinton campaign does have the advantage in trying to define mr. trump as a danger. right? that is a pretty big advantage. >> yeah. but look, so what, the press is not porous. it is on the side of the liberal in the race. wake up. that's the reality. the question is, is why is donald trump giving him the ammunition to do what they want to do? let me give you a couple of examples, bill. this started a day after he accepted the nomination. he holds a news conference on friday morning. he is the fresh new candidate of the republican party. the democrats will meet on monday. so what does he do? he holds a news conference that he votes to ted cruz, saying he doesn't need his support and bringing back up the myth that ted cruz's father had something to do with the assassination of jfk. that was not a good starting note from the general election.

and since then he has missed opportunity after opportunity after opportunity to wage this campaign on a winning front. last friday, he is involved in attacking a gold star family. that is the day that government put out the official numbers on gdp saying we had anemic 1.2% growth in the first quarter. he could have spent the day and subsequent days attacking hillary clinton for being more of the same that cost americans jobs prosperity and paychecks. >> and he lost all that. and the press doesn't -- i have to make one quick correction, 1.2 in second quarter. >> sorry, that's right. >> yeah, we want to be precise here. i think this kind of thing will go way. democrats will use it. but in the mind of voters, i think the debates, first one will be the super bowl of all debates, highest rated debate of all time, and i think that will tell the tale. last word, 20 second. >> i'm not sure he will last in the debates if we have more disastrous weeks like this in which he miss answers opportunity. sunday hillary clinton goes on

television and lies again about e-mails. what does he do? he attacks the debate commission for scheduling debates 18 months ago on nights of nfl games and the fire marshals -- >> certainly needs more focus. >> he needs more focus and may run out of air time speed long before -- >> i don't think so. i think the debate will tell the tale. but i could be wrong. did u.s. bribe iran to release americans? the wall street journal angered the white house. and possibly dangerous, a and possibly dangerous, a special report, an

vicious iranians for the release of americans. the wall street journal says $400 million sent to iran coincided with the release of four american hostages held by iran. there they are. white house quickly shot the article down. >> we don't pay ransom. we just don't pay ransom. it is our policy. this is not ransom. anything suggestion it has anything to do with ransom is absolutely and utterly false. these are two separate processes run by two separate teams. yes, done simultaneously. so i understand the coincidental nature of the timing but absolutely nothing do with ransom. we do not and will not pay ransom. >> so the thing about this is that in the exact day that the $400 million in swiss franks and dutch, i guess euros, or whatever they did, they bundled it up, reached teheran, the exact day that four americans got out of there. >> i think if it was a coincidence --

>> how could it be? >> it would be cosmically impossible. >> right. >> if it was not, i think it was amateurish to do it that way. not helpful. interestingly enough, i think, am not opposed to paying ransom to get our people out. i think the u.s. is way too rigid. the way you do it like everybody else, through interimmediate aries, why have your people sacrificed because of your natural -- >> that's a debate. if they want to pay ransom they have to debate it and everybody has to know about it and they have to change the policy. >> worst part today around noon, josh earnest said, we're quoting him, we know iran supports terror and hezbollah and some of this money may be used to support them. can you imagine a group, the administration knowing that some of the $400 million or $2 billion which eventually they will turn over, is going to support terror? >> of course, everybody knows that. >> but if you don't --- >> who cares --

>> it is iran's money. >> i'll explain that in a minute. >> they are killing americans -- >> pay russia for russian goods -- >> hold on. if you don't give them the money, you don't get the nuke deal or the four americans back. okay? so you're the president and you say, blank them. they're not getting anything. so then the nuke thing goes and netanyahu will bomb them and the americans stay in teheran. now, look, we've been negotiating -- >> we didn't need -- >> we have been negotiating with this government for years and got nowhere. they wanted to be bribe end i believe we did bribe them. but you're right, it was their money. this is crazy. the shah made a deal, 1979, right, made a deal, sent 400

million usa that never got to the shah because it opposed them. so the money we kept. so is it was their money. >> and you have to add the international code of justice and the hague had arbitration set up. and going against us. we would have had to pay the full amount plus exorbitant interest in the amount of $2 billion. i think is a good deal. >> four americans -- >> negotiate -- >> you want to tell their family -- >> you want to -- >> these four americans -- >> it is like having a gun battle with the bad guys -- >> you buy saudi oil -- >> all right, geraldo, the issue is, you guys can make up your own mind whether that deal was worth it. however, administration, telling the truth geraldo? once again here we are all three of us -- >> i think that democrats and the obama administration brought this on themselves. >> they didn't tell the truth. >> all they today do was wait a

week, a month, here, there -- >> tell the truth. >> it's been since 1981. like pay at christmas time. >> right. >> just for grins, tell the truth once. i'm tired of it. both parties do it. both parties do it. they don't tell us the truth. they didn't tell us the truth. the wall street journal had nailed down and today both the white house is denying it and not telling the truth. 20 seconds. >> if you're worried about donald trump's foreign policy and not the obama administration's foreign policy, you're a fool. >> okay. if you're worried about iran and not worried about saudi arabia who financed al qaeda and -- >> all right. >> iran is strategically our, could be our ally. >> whoa! >> no, no -- >> don't listen to the conventional wisdom -- >> enemies -- >> saudi arabia, isis --

>> let geraldo say to the world that they could be our ally. then you say, okay. and everyone be considerate. >> if you call someone a man or woman and they object, truth serum with an incredible story. later, olympic madness. and goldberg watching hillary clinton getting a break from the "new york times." moments away. many people clean their dentures with toothpaste or plain water. and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day.

truth serum tonight, two hot topics, if you get someone's gender identity wrong here in new york city you can be fined big money. follow-up to last week's discussion of police shot dead in america. >> we have had 78% increase of

officers murdered in the line of duty -- >> mostly by white men. >> by the end of the year, that is absolutely -- that is absolutely incorrect. >> i will have a stat on this year, mr. williams. and the police officers who were killed -- >> all right, we today research extensively and we now have the stats. this is year to year with us. shannon brieman, shannon you take the police shootings. this is july to july, is that how we did it? >> yes. and it is not true that most have been killed by whites. it is broken down even. 33 police officers have been shot and killed this year. up to this point. >> wait, wait. that's from july '15 to july '16. >> yes. >> okay, 33 dead. >> and 25 separate incidents. 14 of those are reported or said to be white. 14 are reported or to be black. >> rest are hispanic or others. >> one hispanic and one unknown because it was burglary.

>> i'm not going to call it propaganda. you can't assume the worst in people. but the new york city councilman, that's who you just saw, his stalts are wrong. it is down the middle. >> correct. >> and now to provide perspective, blacks make up 13% of the american population and whites are what? do we know? more than 50% or you don't know? >> not offhand. >> there is a big disparity. we're not singling out any race here but trying to give perspective. now that's up, right? the police shootings are up because of the dallas thing primarily? >> up 83%. of course you have dallas and baton rouge and recently san diego. >> right. >> so it had been going down. going down from last year to the year before last. >> so '14 and '15 it was down and now '15 and '16 it is up

with these assassinations. let's just pray it stays quiet. it starts to erode the soul of a nation. once you start killing police officers, it erodes us all. let's turn to new york city which i guess in one of the most liberal cities in the country. p san francisco, new york. so according to the -- and i love this because i'm so confused. i love being confused. new york city commission of human rights says if you misidentify a person's gender identity you can get fined. >> big time. up to $250,000. in new york city they recognize 31 different genders. have you different choices. i can't pronounce some of them but there are confusing onees. two spirits. >> two spir snits. >> which i understand has something to do with native american culture and people having male and female characteristics. there are gender bernd, gender

gifted. >> gender gifted. >> but man and woman are on the list too. but if you get it wrong, then they -- >> wait, wait. so man and woman. that's two. 21 other gender -- >> 29 more. >> 29 more. >> so if you're in the workplace you have to provide your employer with what gender description you want to be addressed as? >> essentially. and for some people it changees. >> two spirits. right over here, please. is that what you are supposed to do? hey, two spirits? >> don't get us in trouble. >> you're on a program, you're in trouble. >> i know. just being here. >> doesn't this deserve to be mocked? come on. >> there are 31 cases currently investigated. >> and they could be fined $250,000. >> they say if you slip and call someone by the wrong gender, if you slip that's not what we are talking about. but if you repeatedly get it wrong. >> i want to give everyone the tip of the day, i call everyone

guyes. unisex. everybody is guy. hey, guys. so i can't be fined, new york city. commission of human rights. because i call everybody guys. this is insane. we live in an insane country. i don't want you to get in trouble. but i will comment. insane! plenty more ahead as the factor moves ahead. olympics in rio could be dangerous. a special report and miller has comments on the situation. he is competing in the olympics. and charge overs the paper is protecting hillary clinton. we hope you stay tuned for those reports. ooh... >>psst. hey... where you going? we've got that thing! you know...diarrhea? abdominal pain? but we said we'd be there... woap, who makes the decisions around here? it's me. don't think i'll make it. stomach again...send! if you're living with frequent, unpredictable diarrhea and abdominal pain, you may have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea or ibs-d - a condition that can be really frustrating.

we would like to clarify something from our segment. the officers were killed in 2016, this year, not in 2015 and again 50/50 black murderers and white murderers or alleged murderers. olympic chaos. friday's opening ceremonies will be held in rio de janeiro brazil. there is violent crime, possible terrorism and pollution beyond belief. >> recent poll sound that hosting the games here is doing more harm than good. >> when rio won the right to host the olympics back in 2009 a

throng of brazilians were bouncing on the beach. it was their chance to shot world that brazil had arrived. but then, the worst recession in 25 years hit and unemployment shot up alongside billions of k dollars worth of olympic venues. >> so are the games a disaster in the making? joining us from los angeles, here in new york city, have you ever been in rio? >> i have not. >> i have been there a number of times, and it is a disaster. from the air when you ply in, looks beautiful. stat you've christ on the mountain. all of that. and in the daytime when the sun comes up, whoa, whoa. you could walk across the bay, it is so polluted. and when they gave the summer olympics in 2009, i said, this will be nasty. and that's what it looks like it'll be. >> in 2009 barack obama was president and dea full-court press to get at olympics in chicago. sending oprah over and everything. and the international olympic committee turned around and gave it to rio.

but you're right, bill. rio has really had this grinding problem, huge corruption problems for a long time. but not just rio, all of brazil. brazil is nation in economic and political crisis. they are in impeachment proceedings. widespread corruption. and now fiscal crisis and recession affecting the government's ability to carry the games out. >> but ebony, the plollution we are looking at right now on the screen, because there are events in the watt wesh on the bay. it is so dire that if you fall in the water you almost have to go to the hospital. and i don't think people understand that. ways shocked when the olympic committee gave ree yot games. remember the soccer scandal where there was a lot of money changing hands about where the venues were in i think the olympics need to be looked at too. this doesn't make any sense at all based upon what is happening there. >> i think you're right, bill. there are a lot of questions that it almost doesn't make

sense. there is some precedent, 2009, hosting pan american games and they were demonstrating fitness. but you and monica are both right, this is a nightmare scenario. the olympics are supposed to be a about the world's best athletes coming together and competing for the most prestigious notoriety in sports. guess what? the best athletes are not even going. you've got lebron james, and others not putting themselves at risk. >> yeah. they are afraid of zika and other things. they should be afraid. most of the time i would say zika, give me a break. but now with the terrorism component, all right, because you know, you know if if isis can, they will. and i have to say this, the brazilian, the army, they are brutal. >> the olympics games are supposed to be a nice showcase for east host nation. china last go around put on quite a show. so it is incumbent on brazil to

put their best face on. terrorism issue is critical. over the last month, july, brazilian authority working with the fbi arrested 12 people they suspected of having connections to isis, possibly targeting, we also add newly free a detainee. >> when ways there, the brutality of both in the criminal detail and how the police respond is staggering off the chart. last word? >> a hot mess, riert. criminal defense lawyers spiking. they had seven years to get it together. also the first south american

country and they set a precedent and unfortunately i think is going to be bad one moving forward. >> ladies, appreciate it. when we come back, miller that has thoughts on the olympics. and pokemon violence, actual violence breaking out over this crazy stuff. new legends and lies, alexander hamilton versus aaron burr. nexium 24 hour introduces new, easy-to-swallow tablets. so now, there are more ways, for more people... to experience... complete protection from frequent heartburn. nexium 24hr. the easy-to-swallow tablet is here. millions of women worldwide trust tena with their bladder matters. thanks to its triple protections from leaks, odor and moisture. tena lets you be you ♪

thanks for being with us. i'm bill o'reilly. three hot topics beginning with the olympics in rio. joining us, susanna from california, and southern california, dennis miller. are you going down to the olympics, miller? you going down there? >> i hear nothing is working. imagine the poor athlete who finishes fourth in his race, goes back to the dorm, sitting on a toilet that doesn't work. and he gets bit bay skeeter that's got the zika. you talk about the agony of defeat, my friend. that is a rough scene down there. >> have you been to brazil? i know you've been to argentina. have you been to brazil? >> i invented the thong, so i go down recently to get a check. >> you know, all of the legendary beaches, you go down

there and it looks okay then you walk to the water and then there's godzilla dead from pollution. >> you know things are rough when polaris complains. there are people who have lived their entire life in bolaris who don't know where that is. when they are cranky, you know you pushed it too far. >> they are teed off. let's get to politics in the usa. trump was broadcast last night complaining about cnn. saying they are giving it to them and here is something that he didn't like at all. roll the tape. >> every time it is demonstrated that donald trump is plainly ignorant about some basic public policy issue, some well-known fact w fact, he comes back with a certain bravado and tries to explain it away with the tweet. sometimes it is amusing or entertaining. if the guy is trying to sell you

a condo or car. >> okay. so now if on cable you use the "s" word and i don't know if the flood gates will ever come back. >> i don't even believe fareed zakaria said that. i believe someone else said it and he copied it and took blame for it on his own. i think he is a biden guy, if you know what i mean. listen, in a world that's gone mad, someone calling bs on somebody is fine with me. i think we are way too uptight about stuff you hear on tv and stuff you see on tv. why beyond the pale. >> yeah, with taking other people's stuff. he is smart guy, saturday arzak. >> best guy that ever lived. >> you always say that.

>> well, questioning fareed zakaria's ethics, and -- >> everybody makes mistake, miller. >> you know -- you do this good cop/bad cop thing but you know i'm going to knock that off when you ask me about that -- >> you know what i was surprised to hear that you were running around playing pokemon go. i thought you were just counting your money in your mansion but no you're out there in santa barbara trying to capture the pokemon thing, and it is getting out of control. roll the tape. >> [ bleep ]. >> i mean, it's crazy everywhere now. people run into traffic. and what say you? >> i say i love to see the herd like that. there's america in 2016.

you got couch potato slobs who have ripped imaginary friends. you've got fat losers chasing cartoons across the media strip on to the internet. the world's going to hell and we have fat guys fighting over cartoons. if you find a pocky mkemon in r flush it down one of the three o toilets that works. i think pokemon was bill clinton's secret service. oh, they are telling me the e is silent. poke mon. i'm telling you, i've got it right here. >> yeah. all right, now, it is okay for the kids to be loons, all right? you expect that from kids. but you know, there are grown men and women running around with the dopey machine trying to capture phantoms, miller.

when you see one of those men or women doing that, what goes through your mind? >> well, you know, they have a bowling glove for bowlers to keep your wrist straight? there is one for your shoulder so you can walk around with good leverage and put a shoulder right into the thorax of these morons. it is called the dennis miller shoulderator. if you want to spend me 18 bucks, i will send it to you with place mat. >> and since the thongs are so successful in brazil, you have a track record. >> we have a shoulderator thong too. i don't want to show you how it works. >> dennis miller, everybody. goldberg on deck. interesting hillary clinton situation at the "new york times." the preview of legend of lies. alexander hamilton, after these messages.

after a long investigation, fbi director james comey said none of those things that you told the american public were true. >> chris, that's not what i heard director comey say, and i thank you for giving me the opportunity to, in my view, clarify. director comey said my answers were truthful and what i said was consistent with what i have told the american people. >> now that was widely reported in the press, but it was ignored in the "new york times," so "the times" wrote an article criticizing her own paper for not running the story about hillary clinton, comey, and all

that. joining us now from north carolina, bernie goldburg. so the basic contention is this, the washington post gave mrs. clinton four pinocchios because what she was saying is in a narrow interview that she did with the fbi, comey said that interview she didn't mislead, but in the broader investigation, comey clearly said she did mislead the american people, so hillary clinton focused in on that one thing and that's called parsing. and everybody knows what happened. fox news knows, everybody knows. "new york times" knows, too, but chose not even to report it. that's pretty big, is it not? >> very big. two weeks ago the same person, public editor, whose job is to look out for the reader, two weeks ago she wrote a column under the headline "why readers see the times as liberal" and gave several examples. the best, easy to understand example was an editorial "the

times" ran on gun control. hey, they are a liberal paper, they have every right to run an editorial on gun control, except they put it on page one. so that's a reason readers see "the times" as liberal. now we have this, hillary clinton goes on fox news sunday and lies about her e-mails and what james comey said. that's legitimate news by any standard, but at least one editor at "the times," maybe more, made a conscious decision not to run that story. okay, there's another example why readers see "the new york times" as liberal. i'll give the main reason, because "the new york times" is liberal, and not simply on its editorial page. >> no, all throughout all the editors, all the columnists, absolutely. and if you're in the business, as goldberg and i am, we see it because we know the sub text of what's happening, but there is a

broader picture here. >> yes, there is. >> "the new york times," okay, we're not going to report stories we feel might damage the candidate that we want to win, hillary clinton, but there is a paper, "usa today," and i mentioned this in the talking points memo, you get it free on the airlines, not something with a lot of prestige, but they have good writers. it's gwinnett, it's a big news chain. their job every day is hammer trump, hammer him, hammer him, hammer him. >> look, are there elements in what we call the mainstream media that viscerally can't stand donald trump and think he's the threat to the republic, the united states of america? yes. will there be more stories negative about him that come out in dribs and drabs? you can be sure about that, but the media are not donald trump's

worst enemy. donald trump's worst enemy is donald trump. he is just a terrible candidate. >> i disagree with that. trump is new -- >> i know you do. >> let me say my piece, you say yours, that's what we do here. trump is new to the ball game, and he has to decide whether he's going to be the primary trump, the little marco trump, the lying ted trump, or you know what, that's not going to get me to the white house, because it isn't. not going to, he's going to lose. i said that last night to him. >> and if he keeps this up -- >> every mistake he makes is a thousand times more illuminated than the mistakes that secretary clinton makes. last words. >> listen, if somebody's trying to shoot you, don't give them a gun. and he's giving them a gun on a regular basis. look, let's just take the khan story, i'll do this quickly.

>> real quick. >> mr. khan goes to the convention and says what have you sacrificed, donald trump, and george stephanopoulos picks up on the question and asks trump what have you sacrificed for your country, and donald trump gives the stupidest answer he could possibly give, which is i build buildings and i hire people. a smarter politician, a smarter candidate would say, no, i haven't. i haven't sacrificed the way captain khan sacrificed or anybody else in uniform. >> that's not his style. >> you know who else hasn't? hillary clinton hasn't, bill clinton hasn't, barack obama hasn't. you, george stephanopoulos haven't. >> that would have been a brilliant answer. >> are you going to ask all of them? >> that's right. that would have been it. all right, good word. i've got to glive it to you, tht would have been the best answer. all right, first look at the legends and lies i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back

on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. to be taken care of. in good hands? like finding new ways

politics. >> burr is unprincipled, he is for or against nothing, but as a suit, his interests or ambitions. i feel it a religious duty to oppose his career. >> and that sets up the fatal duel. hamilton's real hot because his broadway show. get the real story behind hamilton and burr.
