going to play it. it has been such an unpredictable here. that is all the time we have left this evening. as always, thank you for being with us and i hope you have a great weekend. "the o'reilly factor" is on, tonight: >> hillary clinton believes it's vital to deceive the people by having one public policy and a totally. [crowd boos] different policy in private. here she is tonight in public pretending not to hate catholics. [crowd boos] >> it is great also to see mayor bloomberg here. it's a shame he is not speaking tonight. i'm curious to hear what a billionaire has to say. [crowd boos] embarrassing situation at the al smith dinner last night. neither candidate did well. what exactly is going on. talking points will tell you. >> i believe we're going to

win. this is what is going to happen. [cheers] >> this is what is going to happen. >> ahead the latest polling on the presidential race is surprising. lou dobbs, herald, dana perino and eric bolling all have some thoughts. 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. an embarrassing situation at the al smith dinner in new york city last night, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. the dinner is sponsored by the catholic arch diocese of new york primarily to raise money for poor children. last night the charity broke a record raising more than $6 million. that is the good news. the bad news is the key knows speakers hillary clinton and donald trump were way too harsh. and they embarrassed

cardinal timothy dollan. no way to spin it, it was not a good evening. al smith was the first catholic ever to run for president. he lost to hubert huber in 1928. his family puts together charity every year. it's supposed to be a light hearted tonight. four years ago president obama and mitt romney understood that. >> as president obama surveys the waldorf banquet room with everybody in white tie and finery. you have to wonder what he is thinking. so little time, so much to redistribute. [ laughter ] >> i'm still making the most of my time in the city. earlier today i went shopping at some stores in midtown. i understand governor romney went shopping for some stores in midtown. [ laughter ] >> you can see the ribbing was gentle. last night it was nasty. >> hillary believes that it's vital to deceive the people by having one public policy.

[crowd boos] >> and a totally different policy in private. that's okay. i don't know who they are angry at, hillary, you or i. for example, here she is tonight in public pretending not to hate catholics. [crowd boos] >> now, that stunned the crowd. so i was expecting secretary clinton to seize the moment and be gracious when she came up. that would have helped her. she didn't really need to do anything else other than keep it light. that would have contrasted with mr. trump. but mrs. clinton did not do that. >> now, look, i have deep respect for people like kellyanne conway. she's working day and night for donald and because she is a contractor, he is probably not even going to pay her. donald looks at the statue of liberty and sees a 4.

maybe a 5 if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair. >> now, what trump and clinton did was more like a roast, not an am i can't believe benefit. before the speeches began i was able to see both trump and clinton upclose. i was about 5 feet away from them. it's clear to me that neither wanted to be at the event, understandable. they had to be tired coming off that debate. it's also clear that they despise each other. at a level rarely seen in national politics. i kind of felt sorry for cardinal dollan, a friendly guy who did a nice job sitting between the two trying to keep the peace. while trump was at the day as cardinal was smart enough to divert secretary clinton by talking to her during his remarks. it was a deaf deflexion all the cardinal could do. this incident will pass. it's not anything that will linger. for me, a voter, a voter,

not a commentator, i have to question the judgment here. both candidates this their strints written for them. they saw what was happening, yet, they chose to go the hard way. why? why? again, the evening was to raise money for poor kids. that's it. judgment is important for a president. and that's the memo. now for the top stories tonight. here is the man of the week "fox news sunday" anchor chris wallace from d.c. who received many accolades, probably too many moderating the debate. before we get to that what do you think of this al smith thing, very strange, isn't it? >> well, i watched it live on fox it was strange. i have been covering these things since 1980. i remember carter and reagan. as you say there is ribbing and edge to it but it stays within some bounds. the only thing i disagree with your talking point i thought that while they both went a little too far i thought trump went way too

far his comments about she is corrupt and she got fired from the watergate committee and that she is lying because she is pretending she doesn't hate catholics, that was bad taste. clinton, maybe a little bit tough, but, just up to the line as far as trump is concerned, he stomped all over the line and went into the next county. i disagree a little not vehemently. it audience friendly to her. it was not well received speech at all. didn't get a lot of laughs. didn't deliver it well. didn't look like she was having a fun time. you are right the hate catholic thing, that was bad. >> and they openly booed him, bill. we're talking about a charity dinner and they were. >> no. they booed him. no doubt about it. they were heckling and

yelling. again, it was very friendly pro-hillary crowd. but, the degree on which both of them exercise poor judgment, i think, is deserves, do you? do you disagree with that? >> no. i completely agree. maybe to a certain agree degree, i was more shocked by trump because he went first and this was so far beyond the bounds. the clips you played of romney and obama from four years ago, that's the kind of ribbing you get at this dinner. you know, look, people say what difference does it make? it's a dinner they all look foolish in their white ties. the fact is it's part of the glue that holds the country together. yeah, we fight on the issues, but, you know, this more than unites us and divides us. you sure didn't feel that last night. >> not anymore. there is not more that unites us than divides us anymore. whoever wins the election is going to go in as the most unpopular president electricity in the history of this country. even more unpopular for

andrew johnson after he took over for abraham lincoln after he was assassinated. more from las vegas. i'm more interested in what you saw behind the scenes and tempo of it. my posture as i just said is that they hate each other, clinton and trump. do you pick that up? >> oh, yeah. there is an old saying that the great football announcer keith jackson when he was talking about a big rivalry game these two teams just plain don't like each other. i had that distinct feeling from the moment they walked out on the stage and very pointedly refused to shake hands to the end when at least in the second debate they shook hands at the end. no, they didn't. and when hillary clinton came up to thank me, trump very pointedly at the end stayed behind his podium. he didn't want to breathe the same air or get anywhere near hillary clinton. he only came up to me after she had left. >> what did secretary clinton say to you? >> just -- well, it was funny. she said two things, first of all, thank you. very pleasant. but the other thing was that

is opposed to the other debates, there was a barrier that kept the families from going up, walking up onto the stage. so, bill and chelsea couldn't get to her and she said to me "do you think it's okay if i go down there?" i said "secretary clinton, i think you can do whatever you want." so she went down that was very simple. with trump, a little bit lingerer conversation. he said he thought did i a good job and that it was the best of the debates. he seemed in quite a good mood at the end. >> okay, now, taking out the rigged election thing, taking that off the table, all right, did both of them, in your opinion, answer your questions or did they dodge? and if so, who dodged the most? >> well, i mean, did they answer my questions? that is the most rhetorical question have you ever asked on this show, bill. of course they didn't answer my question. sometimes they did. and sometimes they dodge like crazy. i would have to say hillary dodged more than trump did. especially when it came to the question about the

clinton foundation. and this is incidentally gives you an insight into the difficulty of being a moderator. so i asked her the question which i think was perfectly legitimate about you promised that there would be no conflict of interest but, in fact, wasn't this pay-to-play and she quickly said no. of course it isn't. but then she said let me tell you about the foundation. >> that's the line. >> i knew where we were headed there. but then you are in a position as a moderator as she is talking about helping needy kids and sick kids and stuff, you know, how do you cut that off and the answer was after about 10 or 15 or 20 seconds when it was obvious to me and i thought to the audience that she was ducking, i then interrupted. but, she dodged more, sometimes he just didn't answer the question. but i don't think he was dodging. >> okay. i'm going to give chris two more minutes than originally scheduled because i have more questions for him. all right. now, hillary clinton spoke 6

more minutes than donald trump. were you aware of that when it was going on? >> no. they had said to me, the commission that they would let me know but i will say afterwards because i expressed some concern about that, it was the case that sometimes, for instance, in those two minute answers where they were given two minutes, you know, uninterrupted, at the beginning of each topic, he didn't fill up his time. so part of that she talked more and sometimes he just seemed to run out of things to say. >> right. she never ran out of things to say but he did. >> oh, no. >> and i said that yesterday. because i watched very closely. in the -- in the sequence with the puppets, i thought that was inif i tile. i would have said that if i were the moderator. did it ever occur to you to say, you know, that's kind of juvenile what you guys both did? >> no. look, one of the things i will say is i had prepared very, very -- as you would -- as anybody would,

in-depth, i had my questions, i was we writing them on wednesday. i had cheat sheets of little facts so you know that i would be able to back up anything that i asked. but, you know, you are making decisions and even as much as we do this on this show, when you are there with the two presidential candidates and they are arguing with each other and they each have their agenda, you have to make a lot of snap decisions on the fly, indistinctionial decisions am i going to get in here, am i not going to get in there. if they were going to be infantile god bless them let them be infantile. >> well, everybody says you did a good job so now you are really going to be insufferable. you will be strutedding around hey, i'm chris. >> do you want to do something? i have too much of my dad in me. i enjoyed it for about half of the plane ride home from las vegas and then i started thinking i have got it book a show for sunday. >> oh, right. >> as you know no matter how good or bad we do the real reaction is next.

what do we do next? >> your father would have hot dogged it. i will tell you one thing and i don't want to you reply. your father would be very proud of you, chris. i appreciate you coming on tonight. >> thank you. >> next on the run down, very surprising polling and boggle. talk to lou dobbs [ cough ] shh. i have a cold with this annoying runny nose. better take something. dayquil liquid gels doesn't treat a runny nose. it doesn't? alka-seltzer plus cold and cough liquid gels fight your worst cold symptoms including your runny nose. oh, what a relief it is!

methodology and all the rest of it, it may not represent what's really going on. i still think the real clear average of polls is the way to go. you have to average to weed out the mathematical discrepancies. discrepancies. >> about 67. >> hillary plus 6. in some ways when we were kids taking caster oil the vote is for hillary even though she is preferred right now going like this. >> not a lot of enthusiasm. >> trump has a lot of enthusiasm, smaller base. >> i would like to also point out when you have a poll that has one candidate leading by 6 and a margin of error 4 that's within the margin of error. you do the same to both sides. i think any other election hillary clinton would have thrown the town in by now because of, you know, the wikileaks, and the project veritas videos. this is damning stuff. when the dnc is hiring thugs to create problems in events. >> may be damning to you and the people who are watching the factor right now. but most people don't have any idea. the media doesn't cover this to any great extent. >> that's what i'm talking

about. what the media has done has been so biased they will talk about everything trump does instead of these issues. >> these issues would disqualify hillary clinton any other year. >> he dispawfd himself when the access hollywood tape came out even though it was 11 years old. that is an issue that everybody grabs. that lost him the women's vote and that's where the wall. >> you think that's more important than exposing quid pro quos with the clinton foundation? >> you talking about under god or, you know, in some cosmic sense or practically. >> people looking at who do i want to run the country for the next four years. >> let's advance. >> said some nasty things. >> i don't believe that hillary clinton, all right, is very popular among even people in her own party. she just doesn't -- not barack obama. >> she is only more popular than one person the person she is running against. >> if that's so, the further away you get from the access

hollywood stuff, the further way you get from this fallacious business the more that wears down. >> i agree. >> two weeks left in the race. >> running out the clock to a certain extent. >> do you think she can. >> it depends on how many more the bimbo eruptions. >> there was one yesterday nobody paid attention to it? >> they are paying enough attention to keep the undercurrent that donald trump is a predator. i think if you keep that buzz it's like a toothache. it's very difficult to ignore. >> the fox news poll asked not that question but essentially and half the country says it doesn't care. do you think that within two weeks, all right, this race can change so that hillary clinton is behind when we go to vote? >> of course it can change. >> how what do you mean? >> first of all donald trump earlier today had a rally where he outlined some great ideas. if he sticks to the ideas, he talked about a national debt. >> you don't think the perceptions now are in stone. >> bill, you just said it yourself. the american public has an attention span and a memory of about 5 minutes, let alone five days or 18 days

left in the race. anything can happen. i'm not saying that the polls are going to flip. i'm saying there is a lot of things that are going to happen between now and then. >> and then we are going to have more wikileaks stuff too. >> they decide to vote for trump. >> as long as we all agree this would be the biggest political come back in the history of the planet. >> according to what, the polls? >> this was bigger than truman, dewey. this is the hugest. -- if he were to come back. >> two polls,. >> let's main for the mainstream polls like fox news. >> directly ahead, lou dobbs has been a big trump supporter. is he happy with the way things are going right now. stossel, a libertarian guy can he support gary johnson who, to put it kindly, doesn't seem to know very much. those reports after these messages.

personal story segment tonight. lou dobbs, a supporter of the trump campaign, so how's it going lou? he joins us now. are you happy with the way the debates turned out? >> i think the debates turned out absolutely perfectly. he won the last two. i think it was a 2 to 1 series of debates. i think he has engaged the american public on the issues that are important to the nation. and that hasn't happened in a presidential election since 1980. >> i give you the second

debate. i think trump won the second debate. the third one he was ahead and then he did the rigged thing. >> the rigged thing is one of the brightest things he could have done. >> to his base. >> for his base. >> he needs more than his base. >> it is, i think, an absolute stroke of genius what he has done. is he dominating the airwaves, the web, and newspapers that still exist with a story of why this is a rigged election. >> all right. so you say that even though he is getting pounded by the media,. >> yes. by the liberal media, particularly. >> which is 80% of it, lou. let's be honest. that it's not a bad thing because he is now the center of attention again, which he loves. >> well, he loves that. >> right. >> and she is gone. and you think that's a positive? >> i think what is a positive is that there is now -- there is insistence on an accounting. the democratic party in this country had to replace their three top officers because they rigged an election

against on bernie sanders. they chose the nominee. >> there were other reasons why they were dumped. >> as you will but they were marginal. the main reason is because they were corrupt. >> that was a super delegate thing. let me ask you. this you know jeff bezos? >> do i know jeff. >> do you know him personally by the way. >> i have have met him. >> you hobnob with those people. he is the head of amazon answered bought "the washington post. he comes out today and he smashes trump. just smashes him. >> of course. have you been reading his paper in the "the washington post" has seven attack pieces on him every day. >> i understand that. but he did it on the rigged business. and my analysis the other night was that trump was winning that debate okay the issues and didn't have to give the hammer to the people who hate him. >> the people who hate him, bill, as you well know are going to hammer him whatever he does. >> that's a big one. this way he is dominating and insisting that people come to a conclusion about whether or not the system is rigged. you can't dismiss what the

democratic party did. debbie wasserman schultz who is the head. >> the system is rigged but he said the election is rigged. >> debbie wasserman schultz was the top official, was replaced and where is she today? she is the chairman of hillary's campaign. why would you trust them? >> think just want to win. they don't care about credibility. >> that's what he wants to do. only considered a liability when he wants to win. >> there is a difference between the system is rigged and the election is rigged, right? >> i don't think so in this instance. >> no? >> because the system is the establishment. the democratic party represents the establishment. hillary clinton is the establishment. >> yes. >> she has a series of utter scandals that are unprecedented in our history. she was not charged. >> we all know that but what's the point. >> the point being she represents the establishment and you are seeing that reflex from the establishments, the elites of both political parties attacking donald trump. >> you think that will mobilize the people.

>> absolutely. >> predicting tonight that trump will win? >> i will predict this. that the margin and this race is going to be so close. >> but then it's going to be rigged. you know if it's close then everybody gets sued. >> no. what i'm say something i think he prevails. >> you do? and he is going to win? >> yes. i do think he is going to win. >> all right. >> and i think the reason is largely because he has focused people's attention on the facts that wikileaks is now the institution in this country honoring the people's right to know. >> we have got you on tape, dobbs. we have it? >> i was afraid of that. >> all right. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. younger american voters do they know anything? we'll have a shocking report for you. and dana perino on her former boss, president bush the younger how he handled things like the al smith the lexus rx, rx hybrid and rx f sport. this is the rx...elevated. get up to $5,000 customer cash on select 2016 models.

socialist like bernie sanders. joining us from washington, mary anne smith from the foundation. were you surprised by the findings here, mr. smith? >> unfortunately we weren't really surprised. over two years we have been educating americans and especially younger americans about the now almost 100 years of history since the first communist regime burst forth on the world stage in 1970 with the ball chick revolution. since that time 100 million people killed in nearly 40 some communist regimes around the world. and we found that most people found that these numbers were shocking and many didn't even believe them. we suspected it was a problem. >> let's get into george w. bush and stalin. if you don't know who joseph stalin is, he was a dictator in russia soviet union during world war ii. he killed millions of people, so many people that they can't count them because there was no reporting on it.

and it was just mass slaughters that stalin undertook. to compare him to bush the younger, is so absurd it's painful, so that tells me that the u.s. educational system, the public school system just doesn't -- they are not teaching anything. >> well, we have a sort of withering critique of the american free enterprise system and of our own u.s. history. and at the same time millennials and, i don't want to be too hard on them, i am one, are finding sort of a difficult job environment as they graduate from college and enter the workforce. our poll also found that there were more people my age, the millennial generation who thought our economic system worked against them rather than for them. >> right. >> and some 46% would vote for a socialist. one generation younger than us, those who are in high school now half of them would vote for a socialist. and one in five would vote for a communist. >> they don't even know what socialism is, most of them. i want to get back to my

question about not knowing who stalin is. stalin was as bad as hitler. all right in the same thing. he just killed different groups of people. and it didn't get reported because there was no allied invasion into russia to expose these do yo gulags. and you walk down and people your age they don't know stalin. they don't know world war ii. they don't know anything. how can they make responsible decisions about any economic system now. how i how is it possible? >> you are right. what you see is a willingness to almost blow up our own system rather than perfect it and refine it in something that we don't understand which is socialist systems. the ideas of marxism. and it is a dangerous thing, especially because there is a sort of white washing of the term socialism which really historically and intellectually is ernesto twined with communism. >> sure. it's the same kind of government runs the show. communism is more they con iconfiscate more like the

castro brothers as opposed to some socialist nations that don't confiscate property but they confiscate income. mr. smith, a fascinating study. thank you. when we come right back, dana perino on her former boss bush the younger. and stossel can he vote for the libertarian candidate who doesn't know very much? moments away. coaching means making tough choices. jim! you're in! but when you have high blood pressure and need cold medicine that works fast, the choice is simple. coricidin hbp is the only brand that gives powerful cold symptom relief without raising your blood pressure. coricidin hbp.

thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly. in the factor follow-up segment tonight as we told you in the talking points memo the al smith dinner last night was embarrassing as hillary clinton and donald trump did not get into the spirit of things. in 2000 then candidate george w. bush running against al gore attended that dinner. >> thank you all very much. this is an impressive crowd, the haves and the have mores. [ laughter ] some people call you the elite. i call you my base. [ laughter ] the guy on the elevator, we are coming down he said say, i said yes, sir, did anybody ever tell you look like george w. bush? [ laughter ] it happens quite a bit.

he said it sure must make you mad. [ laughter ] >> perfect. right? here now dana perino who is the white house press secretary under president bush. quite the contrast, huh? >> yes. humorous speeches are some of the hardest ones to give and president bush put a lot of effort into it. there were white house speech writers, of course, but sometimes for like a white house correspondence dinner or a roast like the al smith dinner you go to a separate speech writer maybe outside and contract it out because it's such an important one. make everyone feel comfortable and have that moment of levity and you can hear the out loud laughter. the be. make everyone feel comfortable and enjoyable. last night that's not what you saw. >> not at all. >> did he, president bush, have input into the speech? >> yes. and he spent a lot of time actually practicing those speeches. so the state of the union speech that's a one where you would go into the family theater that's in the east wing of the white house, and he would get up there and he would deliver the "studio b"

and i was like okay, stop. he might as he was going through and saying it out loud edit but he did the same for the humorous speeches because those were the most -- some of your most important. >> i don't believe -- i think hillary clinton rehearsed hers. i don't think trump rehearsed his. >> time something important. >> he was looking -- you can see it he was very rarely looking up. he was reading everything. she was a little bit more. as i said in the talking points memo. and i don't want to labor belabr the issue. this was judgment. they knew what these lines were. that's not what this is about. you don't want to embarrass the cardinal. like president obama the younger or not he was always appropriate. i know he had the training at from his dad and his family traditional. you have to cut donald trump slack he had none of that hard scrabble guy in real estate. it's a big difference. president bush to me was always appropriate. and i remember my interview with him in the oval office. you weren't working for him then. tony snow was the guy.

>> i was working there. i was the deputy. i was behind the scenes i was pretty short. >> i kept hounding bush why don't you fight back about these people sliming you and slandering you? why do you continue to take it because then it becomes in the public a truism. and he just said, look, it's not my job. i don't respond to that. >> and i remember watching you at the time, and i would ask myself why aren't we punching back harder? partly it was when i was at the podium giving the press briefing if you were saying something that you thought george w. bush would not be proud of, you swallowed it you didn't say it i remember after i left the white house i gave a speech to large group in washington, d.c. and i told a joke about president obama that i thought was funny and all of my friends would have laughed. my husband would have thought it was great. no one in the room laughed. i still feel uncomfortable about that moment and i have never done it since. >> okay. and mentioning president obama, he is one of the best. >> absolutely. >> giving those kinds of funny speeches. he is a little edgier than bush the younger is. >> you remember and did you

a segment on this not too long ago when president obama gave the white house correspondent's speech after the whole birth certificate issue and donald trump was there and donald trump was not happy about being treated that way. you can make a point in these speeches and you can get news out of them, but hopefully what you do is be respectful to the cardinal. >> yes. >> raise money for the kids. >> right. >> have a moment of levity that tries to lift the country up. >> the correspondence continuer is a little bit different than the al smith dinner. the al smith dinner is just fine. the correspondence dinner they want to make fun. >> needling. >> all right, dana. i want to plug your book. dana perino, everybody, has a new book, it's about a dog. it's called "let me tell you about jasper, how my best friend became america's dog." there's jasper. you can tell he has got makeup on sitting next to dana. you will like the book. stossel on deck, you know is he a libertarian. can he vote for gary johnson who doesn't really know very much?

stossel is next. recently, a 1954 mercedes-benz grand prix race car made history when it sold for a record price of just under $30 million. and now, another mercedes-benz makes history selling at just over $30,000. and to think this one actually has a surround-sound stereo. the 2016 cla. lease the cla250 for $299 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. yeahashtag "stuffy nose."old. hashtag "no sleep." i got it. hashtag "mouthbreather." yep. we've got a mouthbreather. well, just put on a breathe right strip and ... pow! it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. so you can breathe ... and sleep.

shut your mouth and say goodnight mouthbreathers. breathe right.

back of the book segment tonight, the libertarian vote as you may know, former new mexico governor gary johnson running on that ticket. is he polling more than 6%. here now libertarian john stossel. so, you know, the gaffes that governor has made, everybody makes them. but those were big gaffes, especially the one about, you know, the question was give me any foreign leader you admire, any one. and he couldn't do it. you can't vote for him, can you? >> yes. >> you can? >> i can't vote for the other two. >> no? >> they are bad people. >> really you? think they are poet bad people? >> yes. >> really dark hearts,

right? >> both are ruthless, ambitious, ignorant, selfish, grasping, power-mad people. that makes them bad people to me. >> good night, makes them bad p me. >> good night, everybody. we can't do the show anymore. >> you say johnson doesn't know anything but that is unfair. he looked dumb in those situations. >> he doesn't know anything about foreign policy. >> libertarians don't want to try to run other countries. >> so that's good. if you vote for him and he wins, which isn't going to happen but say it did, and he gets in to office, isis are the happiest people in the world. the happiest campers ever. gary johnson doesn't know what to do with them. he's not going to get involved and they will do whatever they want and we will have to take it. >> unfair. he's not going to create new terrorists by bombing every terrorist as hillary wants to do and trump may want to do and

will have people with foreign policy expertise. >> he won't do it. his policy is we don't intervene overseas. >> we intervene if we are attacked. >> we wait to be attacked, which we will certainly be and he has to find out where aleppo and syria is, he doesn't even though. >> he knows where it is. >> he thought it was dog food, i would have thought a leopard. cut him slack. >> notice i didn't use the clip to embarrass him. >> appreciate that. >> i'm covering his slack. when you say to the guy give me one foreign leader you respect and why and can't give you one that means he doesn't know. >> he couldn't pull up a game. >> that's like saying one movie star you think is talented, one that you admire, most of these guys are power mad. >> winston churchill or something. >> they asked living.

>> gary johnson ran mexico okay. they are not thrilled with him and not going to carry the state. and he likes pot, a pot guy. pretty much it. a two-term governor in an elected state . not going to carry that state. >> why if they love him. >> habit in america. >> maybe he will carry the state. >> he won't. he vetoed 700 bills, had a good fiscal record. he knows more about governing and growth than trump or clinton. >> you believe despite the pot thing he has an economic vision that would help the country? >> yes. i'd rather have a guy smoking weed than drinking alcohol. >> the state dinners will be so different with the bongs on every plate. >> crazy.

>> come on here. >> he's a pot guy. >> this is the intoxicant i like. i haven't had a drink in 28 years it's more damaging and i agree. >> the white house and the strobe lights and all of that. that hard rock music. >> better than donald and hillary, by far. >> stosle, there he is, everybody. catch him on the fox business network after the factor at 9:00 p.m. back to the tip of the day. i'm taking my own advice. the tip moments away. i wanted to know where my family came from. i did my ancestrydna. the most shocking result was that i'm 26% native american. i had no idea. it's opened up a whole new world for me. ♪
