exclusive interview with the president of the united states, donald trump. thursday, 10:00 p.m. thanks for being with us, have a great night. then. >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on tonight. >> you wanted to deport the people here, each and every one are entitled to due process, and it would take decades to do thae and gazillions of dollars and the courts would block you at every turn. >> bill: that was a year and a half ago. now it looks like the trump administration will not be deporting the dreamers. but if you are an illegal alien who has committed a crime inn america, watch out. >> my job is to shut other white people down when they want to say, "oh, no, i'm not prejudiced. i am a democrat." >> bill: a woman trying to become the leader of the democratic national committee trafficking in racism. we will show you what happens. >> jump on it.

>> let's do it! >> we got company! >> bill: also, ahead, is there redemption for mel gibson in hollywood? he is nominated for an academy award. >> what will you do without freedom? >> bill: caution, you are about to enter the "no spin zone." "the factor" begins right now. ♪ >> bill: hi, i am bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. another busy day at the white house. that is the subject of this evening's "talking points" memo. president donald trump met with executives of the big motor companies today, vowing to cutet corporate taxes and asking the moguls to build more plants in the usa. obviously, mr. trump is trying m to gin up the economy by urging big business to invest in america. also, threatening, however, 35% import taxes on those carmakers

who build in mexico and want to sell here. in addition, the president signed an executive action aimed at opening up the keystone and dakota oil pipelines. president trump believing that will create jobs and energy profits. of course, that will anger the environmentalists, but mr. trump does not care. in fact, he ordered the environmental protection agency to essentially stop communicating with everyone! no social media, no press releases, nothing! but perhaps the most controversial thing that happened today was not anything that donald trump did, but a change in policy. you may remember that president obama signed the deferred action for childhood arrivals executive order. that stopped the deportation ofr migrants who were brought to this country by their parentsat illegally. during the campaign, donald trump was up and down on so-called daca action, but now, the policy is this. >> on the daca piece, i think

the president has been clear that he is going to prioritize the areas of dealing with the immigration system, both building the wall and making sure that we address people who are in this country illegally. first and foremost, the president has been very, very clear that we need to directir agencies to focus on those who are in this country illegally and have a record, a criminal record, or pose a threat to the american people. >> bill: so applications from the so-called "dreamers" continue to be processed by the immigration services. and the threat of mass deportations is not likely to come about in the trump administration. finally, the president has asked fbi director james comey to stay. "talking points" is a bit surprised. mr. comey now allied with politics, whether that is fair or not. i was critical of mr. comey for releasing documents on some fridays before holiday weekends, an obvious technique to suppress information.

however, i don't know how effective mr. comey is in his job. but again, he is keeping it, at least for now. summing up, the second full day on the job, president trump continues to be an activist. he is angeringtr environmentalists, still threatening companies that move overseas, but doing all of that in the name of the american worker. clearly, the trump administration is putting economic growth above all else. and that is "the memo." now to the top stories. some controversy at the white house press briefing today. yesterday, donald trump believes millions of illegal aliens voted for hillary clinton, and that is why she won the popular vote. this afternoon, the press pounced. >> does the president believe that millions voted illegally in this election? and what evidence do you have of widespread voter fraud in this election, if that is the case? >> if 3-5 million people voted illegally, that is a scandal of astronomical proportions. don't you want to restore american states and their ballot systems?

>> why not definitely say that he will investigate if he believes that there was massive voter fraud? >> bill: as for the white house spokesman sean spicer's answer, here it is. >> the president does believe that. he has stated that before. i think he stated his concerns of voter fraud on people voting illegally during the campaign. and he continues to maintain that belief based on studies and evidence that people have presented to him. >> bill: with us here in new york city, dana perino. so, you say? >> well, the reason the reporters asked that question is because donald trump said this last night. it has not been brought up -- well, it has been brought up over a time, but there was this concern that there was illegal voting.. there might be some, but there is not widespread illegal voting in the united states. >> bill: how do you know? >> well, the burden of proof is not on me. >> bill: but you, ms. dana perino just stated -- >> if there was evidence, you and i would know about it.

and we would want to know. that is why they are asking me about it. >> bill: i think there is some voter fraud but not at the level of 5 million or 3-5 million. we did a report a few weeks ago in california, where it was very easy for an illegal alien to get credentials to vote. very, very easy. whether they do it or not, you don't know, right? >> nope. >> bill: i don't know. so what is the logical progression? what should be done? >> what will happen, you'veho already seen on the far left, them say that this is the prelude to what will be a widespread republican effort to suppress voters in the future. >> bill: okay, that is just garbage. what should happen is, an investigation. right? >> if this is true -- >> bill: one of the reporters, they asked this question over and over to spicer -- what is space spacer going to ? that is what he believes. but it was pound, pound, pound, pound. why doesn't president trump launch an investigation?? >> if he believes that there ist

that kind of widespread -- there should absolutely be investigation. >> bill: right, investigate it. let's find out. >> do you remember when the left was saying that the russians hacked the election and that was why donald trump won and it was stolen from hillary clinton? the trump team rightly pointed out that that was irresponsible. >> bill: false. >> that was irresponsible. at that time, they said it was irresponsible, have to look at the integrity of our electoral college system, they were right. he is the legitimately elected president of the united states. >> bill: there was no evidence of hacking into polling places. here, i think, this goes away if president trump says, okay, i'm going to check it out, we will find out to see if there is illegal alien intrusion into the voting place. that is all. then, sign it, let's go. far more important than this, the most important story is, he

gathers the biggest ceos in the country and he basically is browbeating them down into not -- >> they were willingly being browbeaten. >> bill: is that a good thing? >> i think they are excited about the upcoming policies.th what is interesting, the day before, his very first day, he met with union leaders, who were also very happy. maybe we will have a -- >> bill: maybe this is what hed should do and to stay away from the crowd estimates and the illegal aliens, voting. that doesn't get us anywhere. if he is able to forge an alliance between the ceos of major corporations that promise to stay in the usa and build plants and rank and file union leaders who are far left -- >> they are going to make money. >> bill: right.. there will be more jobs for their membership. if he is able to do that, he will be reelected. >> if he is able to do that, not only will he be reelected, butl he will be able to win the popular vote. and he has confirmed -- >> bill: even if the illegal aliens are voting! >> exactly. >> bill: he will win it even

then! >> he has a chance to return all of that around. think of the last seven republican -- >> bill: if the economy improves and jobs go up and wages go up, the illegal aliens will vote for him. they will all vote for him! they will be making more money! all right. we are living in a crazy time and it is my job. >> you know my motto? >> bill: what? >> embrace the chaos. >> bill: embrace the chaos. well, i understand that. you work on "the five." have you ever seen that show? dana perino, everybody. next on "the rundown," if you can believe it, gang violence in chicago getting worse. will president trump step in and override local authorities? later, the democrats still playing the race card. >> my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt. >> bill: shut those white people down. those reports after these messages.

>> the "impact segment is party by national car rental. >> bill: in the "impact segment" segment tonight, the violence in chicago, getting worse if youio can believe it.be the first 23 days of this year,h 42 homicides in the windy city, up 24% from last year. an unbelievable 228 people have been shot in chicago in 23 days! while campaigning last july, donald trump said this. >> in the president's hometown of chicago, more than 2000 people have been the victim of shootings this year alone. the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon, and i mean very soon, come to an end. [cheering and applauding] >> bill: the question is, can president trump override local illinois and chicago authorities and stop the murder?t joining us now from washington, horace cooper, an attorney whoes specializes in federal law.

so can he go in? and cook county is where chicago is located, everybody says the same thing, gun crimes are not persecuted aggressively, the sentences are way too low, the gang thing is getting worse, the mayor of chicago has no clue, the governor of illinois doesn't want to do anything about it.ng so can the feds go in and stop this? >> well, absolutely, the feds can do this. and as you pointed out, there have been a wholesale failure on the part of the state and local community to address this very serious problem. i don't know another word besides "carnage" to describe the devastation that has been taking place. let's remember, we had a shooting in south carolina. the state of south carolina prosecuted that killer in the church shooting and the federal government was allowed to come t in because the federal government's statutory authority was actually greater than that of the state government. >> bill: wasn't that

a hate crime situation that allowed the feds to come in? this is not a hate crime situation. this is a failure -- it is almost like new orleans when the feds went in and took over the new orleans police department. okay. a failure to protect american citizens in chicago. that is what it is. what is that, 228 people shot in 23 days? that is worse than afghanistan. it has been going on for seven or eight years. so sessions takes over, you assume he will be okayed next week. and he comes in and he does what? does he send federal authorities into chicago? what does he do? >> so he sends a justice department directive that says to the u.s. attorneys in that jurisdiction in cook county, that they are going to work directly with the prosecutors, they are going to work directly, have the fbi and the local law enforcement work together and they are going to pick which

cases that they come across that they are going to prosecute directly. this doesn't require a change in law. this simply requires will and acts of authority. >> bill: the u.s. attorneys in cook county can go in and say to the local chicago d.a., district attorney, i am taking that gun case. >> absolutely. >> bill: i am taking a murder case. is a the federal beat, thy have the authority to take it away.. >> they absolutely do. we already see this happening. that's why i mentioned the incident in south carolina. but in any bank robbery case, the feds are able to step in at any point. any kidnapping case, they are allowed to step in. >> bill: but those are federal crimes, kidnapping and -- local murder is a local beat or a state beat. >> what you do is what we did in richmond, virginia. you say, if we find an instance -- and we are seeing these numbers overwhelmingly in chicago -- if we find an instance where you are a felon and you are in possession of a

firearm, you have now got a federal beat.n we are going to take those prosecution cases. the "chicago sun-times" did an analysis of what the locals are doing and they are giving, on average, about a year and a half >> bill: i know, it's insane. >> and then the prison is saying to the people, you don't even have to serve even one-third of that amount of time. we absolutely need to bring in the u.s. attorney, send these o people off to federal prison, nowhere even necessarily in illinois, and make sure they are held accountable. >> bill: you know what else president trump could do? he could call in the national guard. the governor won't. the governor is afraid. the governor is a coward. all right. if i were the president, i would say, you know what, the next month, we will have the guard in these neighborhoods to stop this because you are right. it is carnage and it is racism. it is black people getting killed, innocent black people.eo and if it were happening in a

white neighborhood, belive me, it would stop. >> everybody would be against it if it happened there. thank you for having this discussion. >> bill: glad to have you. directly ahead, more racism from prominent democrats. and it's pretty outrageous. later, gutfeld and mcguirk want to talk about the far left woman kicked off a plane over the weekend. up ahead. ar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet?

>> bill: "unresolved problems" segment tonight. can the democratic party rise b again? as you know, with the eight years president obama was in office, the party has lost 63 house seats, 10 senate seats, 12 governorships, 948 state legislative seats. so some believe it is because the democrats play the race card all the time, people are fed up with that. now, they are playing a competition to see who will emerge as a leader of the

democratic national committee, that used to be debbie wasserman schultz. she was fired because she let the russians hack into all of the emails. that is not true, that is a joke. but she was fired. now, one of those in the mix is a woman named sally boynton brown from idaho. >> my job is to listen and be a voice. and my job is to shut other white people down when they wand to interrupt. my job is to shut other white people down when they want to say, "oh, no, i'm not prejudiced. i am a democrat. i am accepting." my job is to make sure that they get that they have privilege. >> bill: that wasn't "saturday night live." that was an actual democratic confab. with us here in new york,k, y lisa boothe and juan williams. [laughs]ar i mean, this is your party, juan. these are your people. this woman wants to be the leader of the democratic national committee. she is going to shut down white people, all right, who say they are not prejudiced. so, if i, your humble correspondent said, i don't

think i am biased, i think ium treat everybody the same -- "you shut up, o'reilly. you are not allowed to say thatl you white person." and this is what the democratic party is considering? >> it is only odd that i'm allowed to say that to you. no, clearly, i think this -- >> bill: it looks like a parody, did it not? it is serious. >> comedic material. the fact is, the democrats, in their desire to have some resurgence, in fact need to listen to white working-class voters. >> bill: how about sally? do they have to listen to sally? should they listen to sally? >> the best i can say about ms. brown or boynton browny. is that minorities often feel that they are ignored or not listened to. even though blacks and latinos are the base of the democratic party. >> bill: she's talking about white people.

>> especially when you have, after the trump election, trump talking about white people who feel forgotten, i think the democrats need to go -- >> bill: you are not approving of what sally is saying? you? >> i think it is incorrect to say that the president is directed to white people from president trump. he is talking about all americans, every american who feels that they have been left behind by this economy. i applaud sally's comments because i applaud the implosion of the democratic party. and if you point -- >> bill: but that's a partisan statement. >> no, it is not. >> bill: you are partisan. >> okay, bill, let me connect the dots here real quick. as you pointed out, the historic losses that the democratic party has faced, why do you think that is? there has been a class warfare that is race baiting -- >> bill: -- beyond repair, don't you want two vibrant parties in this country, two common sense parties? you go, "i want them to destroy themselves, i don't want the democrats left standing." that is not good for the country. >> but you know what is good for the country are the common sense policies that help all americans. whether it is moving the

pipelines -- >> bill: so we have to encourage juan's crew -- >> pro-choice, those policies are right now being represented by the republican party, by president trump. >> very partisan. >> juan is somehow objective? >> it is very difficult given the partisanship on the set. even president obama, in his address, said, we have to do a better job of listening to white americans. o >> to all americans. >> bill: you can't listen because sally is going to shut you up. are you going to vote for sally? >> i am not. but i will say this, donald trump, by the way, went beyond that. remember, donald trump really went beyond the gerrymandering efforts by republicans, very partisan, and he appealed to people -- >> bill: last word, lisa. >> that's what he won. broke that blue curtain.

>> i think it is important to point out representative keith ellison, also in the running, has also made and written very racially charged and racist remarks.. he said that black people need a separate country. >> bill: see if we can have ellison on tomorrow or the next day, he comes on. >> get him on there. >> bill: i don't think he has learned his lesson about this racial politics business either. but we will talk to him. thank you very much, guys. plenty more as "the factor" moves along this evening, president trump's job approval rating is already being scrutinized, karl rove has somep thoughts. and gutfeld and mcguirk on why the far left woman kicked off the airline is such a big story. >> is there going to be a problem? change seats. >> we are trying to schedule somebody -- we don't have that. >> bill: we hope you stay tuned for those reports. right? when was the last time you checked?

yeah, i better check my credit score. here, try credit karma. it's free. alright, no more surprises. credit karma. give yourself some credit. so we sent that sample i doff to ancestry. i was from ethnically. my ancestry dna results are that i am 26% nigerian. i am just trying to learn as much as i can about my culture. i put the gele on my head and i looked into the mirror and i was trying not to cry. because it's a hat, but it's like the most important hat i've ever owned. discover the story only your dna can tell. order your kit now at ancestrydna.com.

>> no, he was also a prolific pill mill prescription pill a seller. supposed to be legal, however, he was putting on the street thousands of prescription pills that were abused by people every day. >> bill: so you got in on a drug beat and you found him doing what? >> we found him, through the use of informants, prescribing an enormous amount of prescription pills that were hitting the streets. and with the interview of one of gosnell's secretaries at the office, we found additional disturbing evidence, which we followed up the investigation with, one of them being the death of karnamay mongar, a patient of dr. gosnell's. ultimately, we executed search warrants at the office, which, after interviews of the workersi

at the location, and the fetuses that were recovered from the freezer of his office revealed disturbing sights, sights that i have never seen in my lifest before. once the fetuses were exposed, you could see that their necks had been cut, the babies' necks had been cut. there were so many other disturbing evidence within the clinic, not including -- >> bill: were some of these babies actually born alive and he killed them? >> yes, sir.th several of the babies were born alive, which he was ultimately charged with their deaths. >> bill: so he was doing late-term abortions in pennsylvania, no abortions after 24 weeks. he, i understand, made more than a million dollars a year catering to mostly poor women who were desperate, they came in, he didn't care what the term was.rm if he had to birth the baby and kill the baby, he would do thatb and you found baby body parts, you found blood all over the

place, and then his own people turned against him and testifiel against him. is that correct? >> yes, sir, that is correct. >> bill: is there an estimate about how many babies he destroyed? >> at this point, bill, he was performing abortions for a very long time. i would estimate there had to be in the thousands that he killed without any regard for how hehe did it. that is very disturbing. >> bill: it wasn't even a tough case to prosecute.. the guy was found guilty on all kinds of stuff. detective, we appreciate your good work. thanks very much. let's turn to ann mcelhinney, who is the co-author of the book about dr. gosnell. the story pretty much underplayed by the media, i think, if it is true that he killed thousands of babies, many of whom were actually birthed and he executed them. the media doesn't really have an appetite for the story. >> well, the media should have an appetite. this is exactly the kind of

story -- you know, if it bleeds, it leads. they didn't like with the story tells you about abortion. they didn't like, if these babies had been a couple of inches in a different direction, they had been in the womb, it would be perfectly fine. >> bill: in some states, but not in all states. >> not in pennsylvania, 24 weeks in pennsylvania, that's a lot. >> bill: you wrote this book. did you write it because you are a pro-life person or did you write it because you were uncovering a grisly crime? >> i'm a journalist and i like the idea of journalism being a voice for the voiceless. if you can find a more voiceless person than karnamaya mongar, semika shaw, the babies who he slaughtered, i welcome it.ery wm was supposed to be about. it is a privilege to be the person who gets to speak for these. everybody in the country knows who michael brown is. we all know that name. we know who trayvon martin is. nobody knows who these are, semika shaw, the 22-year-old

black woman, she is dead and nobody cares about her.ouon >> bill: she was killed in a botched abortion. now, you actually interviewed gosnell. he is a monster. would you agree with that? >> absolutely.ry he is an extraordinary thing. he sang to me in french. >> bill: he has no remorse about killing all of these babies? >> listen to me, bill. a meeting him, it is like he has just come in from playing 18 holes of golf. it is like he smiles all the time, he talks about his big feet, he talks about his hands. you look at his hands, thinking, i know what those hands did.isnk he has an extraordinary affect. >> bill: did you ask him why he didn't feel remorse about all of these? >> he did nothing wrong. he is helping the poor women of pennsylvania, he is providing a service, he is delighted with himself. he thinks he is going to get out, run a triathlon. he is extraordinary. you know what is disappointing, too, bill? it's really disappointed he didn't get into the poetry class. this is the kind of stuff that we have in the book. >> bill: in prison? >> in prison. he went to auschwitz. he tells us he went to auschwitz.

the word he used to describe auschwitz, if you ever findn anyone nearby whoever describes auschwitz like this, i challenge you, "impressive." he called it impressive. >> bill: he is a monster. now, you made a movie off your book, dean cain, superman, he is a lead.e but you are having trouble getting a movie company to distribute this. why? >> that is right. we have been to all the big ones. lots of them have said, great, extraordinary story, not for us, too controversial. this of the same people, by theg way, who released a road trip movie with lily tomlinn collecting money for her granddaughter's abortion and also the same people who did a rom-com on abortion.>> >> bill: so it's a political thing. >> the movie is done already. we just need to get it out there. >> bill: they like the movie but it is too controversial. they don't want to distribute it. the book that you have, is that -- are you able to book yourself on programs? like i'm talking to you now? is it hard for you to get publicity? >> isn't that amazing? i am not on "the view." you know, shocker there, bill. i think there is a sense. t we are privileged to be on your show. we knew that you were great on the story. but a lot of people weren't. people don't want this truth out. people don't want to face thehe reality that you can have an

abortion in america at 40 weeks, at nine months. who knows that? you can only compare the law in america to the laws in pakistan and china. europe don't have this. the socialists wouldn't do this. i think that that is something that is unique about this story and about the trial. you know, in the trial, one of. the most dramatic parts of the trial is that you have ane abortion doctor on the stand -- i think it's a first -- describing what a good abortion look like. i can tell you, the jury were shocked. >> bill: well, he will never see the light of day again, and thah is good, ann. the book again is "gosnell: the untold story of america's most prolific serial killer." when we come right back, donald trump's initial job approval rating, you might be surprised. and gutfeld and mcguirk on the far left woman tossed off the airplane, moments away. airplane. my heart beats one hundred thousand times a day, sending oxygen to my muscles. again! so i can lift even the most demanding weight.

here now to explain that, from austin, texas, karl rove. so he is in the office 12 seconds, they got a job approval rating. why? >> well, you used the right word in your introduction to the piece.e. "baseline." you want to get a number that is there at the very beginning. what is interesting is, if you look at recent presidents, that number, this baseline number that is received literally in the days after the president is sworn in is pretty close, t generally, to what the president-elect's favorability rating is going into the inaugural. here are the last four presidents. right after the election, donald trump had a 42% favorable.o after the election, he was the president. just before the inaugural on gallup, it was 40%. and the post-inaugural, how do you think he is doing? 45%. for obama, 68%, right after the election, 78%, just before his

inaugural. 68% right after inaugural. probably, he had the difference between those two numbers is,e 10 or 12 points of people saying, well, i like them, but i'm a republican or conservative and i don't like what he is doing in office. george w. bush, controversial election, 53% favorability after the election, 62% just before his inauguration, 64% right after.is bill clinton, 58% at the time after the election, 66% upon his inaugural up. 65 for his baseline. >> bill: trump got the biggest bounce from the inauguration of any of the four that you have on your little white card. that is interesting. when i saw the number this morning for the first time, i was surprised that it was so i high. i thought trump would be down in the 30s because he is a bomb thrower, and he comes in and he is not like any other politician that we have ever seen elected to the presidency.e he has sworn to blow up the system. he offends everybody at one time or another. and i said, wow, he is at 45%, that is not bad. >> well, if what you are saying is 45% is good compared to where

you thought he would be, you are probablyre right. >> bill: compared to who he is. compared to who he is. >> 45% is not a great number. he is going to be in an unusual position. he ran an unusual campaign. he is going to have to be an unusual president because the only way that he is going to be able to build political credit to get things done now is to get things done. that is why the last couple of days have been important. it will be interesting. >> bill: he finally has a republican machine behind him. one more question. jeff sessions, attorney general, designated, they put him off for a week for the vote. anything going on behind theer scenes there? >> no, democrat senators have the power to withhold a vote for a week, to delay it for a week. but this is really irresponsible. i have known jeff sessions literally since college. it is appalling to me that this man, this good and decent man, is being attacked for being a bigot. people don't seem to understand that in the 1960s, if you were a

republican in alabama, you were a racial moderate because all of the bigots were over there supporting democrat george corley wallace. this is a guy who desegregated a the alabama schools, who prosecuted for murder the leader of the klan, and the democrats, for political purposes, forit sheer political joy, are holding this man up on demonizing him. >> bill: it's bad. all right, mr. rove, we appreciate it. gutfeld and mcguirk on deck.y america fascinated by the loopy woman thrown off the airplane for imposing her politics on passengers.n the boys are next.t. for lower back pain sufferers, the search for relief often leads here. today there's drug-free aleve direct therapy. a high intensity tens device that uses technology once only in doctors' offices. for deep penetrating relief at the source. aleve direct therapy.

♪ >> bill: "back of the book >> bill: "back of the book

segment," tonight, "what the heck just happened?" all over the country, people are talking about that woman who started haranguing people on her alaska airlines jet about her left-wing political views. >> she has called me names were just sitting in my seat saying i came to celebrate today. >> is there going to be a problem? i am going to get somebody -- you don't have that right. i will get somebody. >> you pretend you have the moral high ground, but you put that man's finger on the nuclear button. that man doesn't believe in climate change. do you believe in gravity? do you know gravity is a theory? >> bill: here to analyze her, bernard mcguirk and greg gutfeld. gutfeld, i know that you lived with that woman in the 1980s. >> i don't know what happened to her. she wasn't like that when i was with her. that is pure performance art. her poor husband is next to her and he is so uncomfortable, he is going, if she goes, can i stay?

please, let me go. they were going from baltimore to seattle. even the people going to seattle were sick of this person. that is saying something. this happens because liberals believe that they have the moral high ground. they are morally superior, which allows them to act vile. their heart is in the right place. >> bill: well, i don't care whyr she does it.he what i'm fascinated by it, americans can't get enough of this story. this is day two on this thing. i got mail, letter after letter after letter. we got 3000 letters last night.i >> it is amazing. >> bill: why? >> first of all, the particular nutcase is a dead ringer for the senator from massachusetts. whatever that is worth. >> bill: elizabeth warren. >> she is probably a college professor. i think what we are seeing is a phenomenon that started with these privileged, angry white women on saturday marching down washington, these older women, like ashley judd and madonna, it seems like a trend is starting with these -- they are unstable. these thumb-sucking crybullies, for what, they don't know why? they lost. >> bill: i don't understand,

gutfeld.d. since you lived with her, maybe you can understand it. the guy sitting next to her, martha maccallum had him on, he is just a guy. >> you know what, he is evil. remember, it was either krauthammer -- >> bill: he wanted to forgive her, by the way. >> krauthammer said this, i h think he said, the right thing is to -- he didn't care how polite he was. can you imagine sitting next to that from baltimore to seattle? i would pull the emergency hatch. i would fly to my death and pleasure. >> i don't know why she wasn't arrested, first of all. >> bill: she should have been arrested. we can't have this. this is the important part of the story. if you are on an airplane or in a restaurant or a movie theater, you can't have crazy loons coming up and verbally assaulting you for your political belief system. now, let me ask you guys this. i have been around a long time, nobody does this to me. i am 6'4" and i don't look like i appreciate it. all right? but i have seen this kind of stuff.

but never from far right people. never from that. >> it is always the lefties. >> bill: it is in those precincts where this usually happens. we looked around for clips, 20 years we have been doing this, of maybe a far right person yelling at somebody, it is not around. talk radio, you get it but not in person. >> apparently not. my own personal experience is, the first vote i ever cast was for ronald reagan. i had a girlfriend who partially broke up with me for that reason. >> bill: partially? >> she was a pot-smoking, tree-hugging environmentalist. >> bill: she only saw you on tuesday? >> to be fair, she was having a lot of pressure from her husband. >> bill: last word, mcguirk. >> i was attacked at an airport bar. somebody told me i should be ashamed of where i t work.troys. he thought i was harvey levin.

[laughter]r] that destroyed me. >> bill: it's not a true story? >> that is a true story. it happened in newark. >> bill: you were attacked andn? someone thought you were harvey levin? >> he said, you should be ashamed of where you work. i'm going, oh, fox news. then he goes, tmz has ruined so many lives. >> bill: have you ever been chastised for working on fox news? >> oh, yeah. from old friends. >> someone you know? >> our buddy frank was attacked. >> by me. >> bill: stay strong, frank. >> i attacked him. that beard. >> bill: all right, guys.
