[chanting u.s.a.] >> for the mainstream voter it is frightening to see that. >> bill: far left guy howard dean says americans are getting fed up with the tea party movement. the polls do not reflect that we will talk with democratic governor ed rendell about the situation ♪ your army keeps marching to hell. >> bill: the supreme court will decide whether the vicious fred phelps group can continue to verbally assault military families. megyn kelly will have an update and the latest on the grand jury investigation of john edwards.

hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thank you for watching on our very first day. >> bill: congrats to fox news. it is our 14th anniversary today. >> who won? who lost? who cares. >> bill: we'll show you some scary clips. >> bill: i disagree with you. i disagree. >> bill: 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. fox news 14 years old today that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. in the beginning o'reilly report on at :00 a.m. catherine crier was on at 8:00. chances are you couldn't see us in 1996 because we had very few cable clearances back then. now we dominate news in america. according to the nielsen

ratings. the reason that happened is fnc filled the void. up until 1996 cable news was very liberal few conservative voices heard. fox news changed all that giving access to the right, center, and the left and you the american people responded. looking back on the first edition of what is now "the o'reilly factor," i'm kind of embarrassed. listen to next change with the late edwin newman over the debate between president clinton and bob dole. >> bill: i don't know what dole, is he much stiffer than the president. >> yes, he is. >> bill: he doesn't have liquid eyes. >> one reason is he much stiffer than the president is he has the use of only one arm. >> bill: that's a good point. >> bill: how stupid was that. quiet crowley. but even on our first program there were demonstrations of the now well-defined no spin zone. >> drug abuse in america is down by 50% in the last 15 years. there is good news there. >> bill: i disagree with you. i disagree.

you can throw all the stats you want out but i will throw some back at you. according to insurance agencies 72% of all street crime is caused by drug addicts right now as we are speaking here in new york city people are breaking into cars, people are mugging people, people are breaking into houses to get money to buy drugs. >> bill: now general mccaffrey was not happy with that interview. he was a pioneer in that regard a fascinating part of the fox news story is the hatred it has engendered on the left. our cable news competition has been destroyed. ratings for liberal tv news is dismal. there is no doubt who has clout in america after 14 years with that success comes a greater responsibility. we have got to be vigilant every second because if we are not, we make any mistakes it becomes a page one story. after 14 years it is still you the viewer who makes the call on fox news. we thank you all very much. we hope you continue with us as we enter year 15. by the way the hair back then, that was a do you pay. [ laughter ] and now for the top story tonight, government control.

in san francisco, there is a proposal, force restaurants to serve healthy food to children. the new law would require fruit and vegetables every meal where there is a promotional toy given away to kids. that nanny state is seen all across the u.s.a. already the federal government is controlling the health care industry. it wants to control the energy industry. and if liberal unions have their way there would be guaranteed jobs and wages for all workers. joining us now fox news analyst alan colmes and monica crowley. monica, in san francisco they just want the kids to be healthy. what's wrong with that. >> sure. first of all, happy anniversary, bill. time flies when you are having fun. >> bill: mocking me off camera? >> i was not. you still look great, o'reilly. you haven't changed a bit. >> stop kissing up. >> let's deal with the san francisco lunatics. you say we just want the kids to be healthy. that's not what it was about. just like obama care is not about health care. what these things are all about is government control. government control over every aspect of your life.

>> bill: why does the san francisco board of supervisors who hasn't passed this yet it's out of committee 3-o. they will pass it okay. why care what jack in the box or mcdonald's serves to kids. i mean, they say they don't want chubby kids. and so you have got to give them a little fruit a little vegetable along with whatever they are buying. >> this is all about government control. >> bill: why? >> the more power they amass whether it's state federal government the last power you have over your own life. >> bill: they want to amass power at the expense of mcdonald's? >> of course they do. it's not the government's responsibility whether you give your kid an egg mcmuffin for breakfast or cereal or apple that is the parent's responsibility. >> bill: they say there is so many bad parents and derelict parents around they have to step in for the good of the kids. >> that's the liberal argument and justification for encroaching government control over every aspect of your life. >> bill: you don't think the board of supervisors of san francisco care about the health of the kids. >> i don't. the way the federal government the way the democrats didn't

care whether or not you get health insurance. they don't care if you pay the fine or buy the health insurance. that means more revenue for them if you forego. >> bill: that's a cynical attitude. colmes, i know you care about the kids, right? >> yes, i do, bill. >> bill: you want to force them to eat fruits and vegetables with their happy meal, don't you? >> this is absurd. they shouldn't being telling you what goes -- this is not the government thing. i know there are some supervisors in san francisco. this does not represent liberals all over america. >> bill: you think it's crazy? >> it's nuts. this is not obama care. let's not tie this all together connect the dots all these liberals want to control. you know who is the biggest purveyor michael blerg nondemocratic republican elected mayor. >> bill: new york guy. >> more of this than anybody. he is not a democrat or liberal. >> bill: surely you have noticed, colmes, through the fog in which you live. >> thank you so much, bill. >> bill: that the obama administration has taken over the health care industry. >> no, they have not.

>> bill: they are dictating exactly what's going to happen. >> if there were single payer public option you would have more of an argument. those things went by the wayside. >> bill: surely you have noticed the president spent a lot of currency on obama care. you are surely you have noticed they want to run the energy. the unions lock step with the president want guaranteed jobs and wages. surely you have noticed that. >> we have a minimum wage in this country which the republicans object to which is a good idea. let me turn this around. you talk about a nanny state which i think is really what you are talking about. the republicans who want to tell you who you can and can't marry. want to tell women they can't have pretruckive rights that is the nanny state from the right. >> bill: can i rebutt for a second on the marriage deal they want government to stay out of it and say this group can and this group can't. they want traditional. >> meaning gays can't get married. >> bill: can i tell you -- what did you say reproductive rights? >> you can laugh. >> bill: might be issue of life and death.

>> might be giving women the right to do with their bodies what they choose. >> bill: what happens to the potential human being in the process. >> that is a religious issue. >> bill: that's religious? i think it's a scientific issue if you destroying a fetus. >> you know exactly what day life begins? you can answer that question? >> bill: the deity is going to have to answer that question. i'm not going to put myself up. >> that is people's individual belief. it shouldn't be government controlled. you want to be a libertarian. government should not tell women what they can and not do. >> bill: government should not protect lives of potential human beings? answer my question. the government shouldn't protect the lives of potential human beings? >> you cannot tell when it is a potential human being. you cannot answer when that becomes a human being. >> arguing in a giant circle. >> no, i'm not. >> point out that both president obama and a lot of other democrats support the defense of marriage act which is not gay marriage. >> does not support gay marriage. >> bigger point we are trying to get at here o'reilly is the nanny state. this is why president obama's approval numbers are so low.

why there is disconnect between president obama and the american people. the american people -- united states founded on idea of self-reliance and limited government. the founding fathers did not -- >> bill: cultural resistance. >> what we had for breakfast. >> bill: i have got to ask colmes one more question. you say that the san francisco board of supervisors now are crazy or overstepped their bounds in this area. >> i don't agree. >> bill: why do you think they want to do that. >> i have no idea. >> bill: you don't? >> make it some kind of liberal totalitarian. >> bill: there has got to be a reason why they are spending their time. >> maybe they actually care about children but going about it the wrong way. by the way in terms of approval ratings of obama, the presidents who had higher approval ration who didn't get reelected or. >> here we governmental ronald reagan has 42%. is he where obama is george w. bush. >> i don't want to relitigate past presidents. >> you can't go by obama's approval rating. >> bill: thank you very much. both of you. >> you are welcome. >> bill: howard dean says voters are getting angry at the tea party.

is that true? later can a hate group assault you and get away with it? megyn kelly will provide analysis upcoming.

gecko: what's this one do? gecko: um...maybe that one. ♪ dance music boss: ok, let's keep rolling. we're on motorcycle insurance. vo: take fifteen minutes to see how much you can save on motorcycle, rv, and camper insurance.

>> bill: impact segment tonight, far left by howard dean believes the tea party is now alienating american voters. >> what they have done essentially is created a monster. their rhetoric has been so uncompromising, so inaccurate. so ludacris that they have created -- they have given permission for this wing of the republican party, which is now -- this is a tea party group to say outrageous things and so the mainstream voter, it is frightening to see that. >> bill: according to recent fox news poll 70% of voters in america support the main issues the tea party has raised like calling for lower taxes, less government spending and that includes 49% of democrats.

i'm not exactly sure what mr. dean is talking about. joining us now from harrisburg, pennsylvania, the democratic governor of that state ed rendell. do you agree or disagree with dean? >> well, i have to admit, bill, i'm a little upset because i do understand what howard is talking about. i think what howard is talking about is some members to call themselves tea party members. the basic thrust of the tea partyites is something many democrats agree with and partially i agree with. there are clearly people who are flying the tea party banner who are saying bizarre and extreme things and it is helping the democrats because it ising that he those voters who are disenchanted. >> bill: you would agree any group has extreme nuts in it? >> absolutely. >> bill: dean says that mainstream voters are becoming frightened of the tea party.

none of the polls reflect that. >> it's not frightened of the tea party. there are republican candidates out there saying some really shockingly disturbing things like, for example, if you are the victim of rape, you have to bear the child of the rapist who raped you. >> bill: but do you think. >> that's disturbing to most americans. >> bill: i think the perception in america is that the tea party is a positive force for change. i could be wrong i'm just going by scientific data in here. i don't think the individual kook is swaying independent voter feeling. i don't see it? >> i think for a while that was the case. i agree with you the major thrust of the tea party is nothing that scares any voters and nothing that energized the democratic base because the tea party has been around for over a year now and they haven't energized the democratic base. but there are people out there who call themself tea party-ites and you know who they are. candidates running for office and saying things very, very disturbing. >> bill: you can say that about the democrat candidates.

bernie sanders sitting senator? vermont who is a socialist. let's talk about pennsylvania because pennsylvania is a barometer. it's a working class state. blue collar state. first of all you, you are retiring in a few weeks. your disapproval rate is 56%. your approval rating is 35%. is that all economic-driven because unemployment is high? >> yeah. i think. so if you look at governors across the united states, virtually everyone, republican and democrat, who is an incumbent has a strong disapproval rating. it's because people have a tendency to take it out on people in office. >> bill: backlash on a sitting governor. >> i think so because before 2008 my approval rating was over auto%. you can imagine what abe lincoln's ratings would have been second week in office? >> bill: absolutely. barack obama in pennsylvania 52 approve 42%. that's bad for all democrats in

pennsylvania is, it not? >> sure. look, the key for democrats is to talk about the things that we have done that people like. and. >> bill: what might that be? give me one big one. >> bill: for example,. >> bill: give me one. >> if you give me time. >> bill: just one. >> we ended insurance companies being able to disqualify 25 and under children for preexisting conditions. every american believes that's a good thing. >> bill: okay. and that's a good one to point to. >> bill: now, in the senate race, toomey the republican leads sestak according to the mullenberg college poll 35-38 and rasmussen poll 49% 40%. looks like republicans are going to take that senate seat. in your race, the republican tom coshocton county -- corbett dan onorato 53% 41%. looks like pennsylvania now is becoming a red state here,

governor. does that distress you? >> of course it would distress me. but that's not entirely accurate. the race, franklin and marshal poll which is a good poll. >> bill: was muffin is pretty good. he nailed it on the -- >> -- again? franklin marshal has it 3 points. and onorado is coming on. >> bill: do you want to bet me a steak dinner on this one? >> absolutely. >> bill: i'm running up dinners. >> on the governor's race. don't count out joe sestak. >> bill: i'm not counting anybody out. i'm just hungry. >> four weeks to go. >> bill: i'm not rooting for anybody. i'm a hungry guy, governor. when i see the point spread being 13, i'm taking the steak. i don't care who wins. it doesn't really matter to me. governor, you are a stand-up guy. >> what do you think

castle-o'donnell was? >> bill: anything can happen. >> sure, onorado is coming on. >> bill: i'm not making the reservation yet but i'm writing it down. >> all right. i'm happy. >> bill: directly ahead, analyze the supreme court case where a hate group verbally attack as military family who lost their son in iraq. later, why do some people want you to vote naked? the culture warriors looking into that moments away. with capital one's vture card, we get double mi on every purchase. echo! so we earned a trip thgrand canyon twice as fast. uhoh. we get double miles evy time we use our card. i'ltake these. no matter what we're buying. plus the damas. and since double miles add up quick,

>> bill: factor follow-up segment tonight, as you may know the supreme court is hearing a very important case about freedom of speech. you may remember the westboro baptist church, a bunch of nuts, not affiliated with the mainstream baptist church in america, verbally assaulting a military family at the funeral of their son in the state of maryland. lance corporal matthew snyder

was killed in iraq. his father albert sued for emotional distress and the judgment was overturned in the federal appeals court. joining us is albert snyder and his attorney summers. what is the main point you are trying to get across to the justices. you know they are skeptical of the free speech issue here. >> bill, from our perspective, it's very simple. personalized target attacks at a private individual should not be sanctioned under the guise of the first amendment and you should not be allowed to exploit the snyder family's grief for your own personal gain and hijack their one and only opportunity to bury their son. >> bill: what was the personal gain though of the westboro crew? i mean, they wanted to get their vile message publicized. is that what you are talking about? >> that is their gain. no one would listen to them if they were in a public park or tehran dom corner somewhere. so the only way they can command an audience is by hijacking

somebody else's private event and in this case a funeral. >> bill: okay. so not only do they inflict emotional distress on the schneider family -- snyder family and friends. but they did it to promote their own agenda. they had venal reasons for doing it and you are trying to convince the justices that is not protected under the first amendment? >> correct. mr. snyder had no relationship whatsoever to their purported concern that they were discussing that day. they just used that funeral as a vehicle to express whatever hateful messages they wanted to express that day. >> bill: now, you know the justices are worried about the government intruding on freedom of speech as are many broadcasters. how are you going to counter that concern? >> well, mr. snyder had no connection whatsoever to the concern that they had. we don't have random people running around the country

protesting at funerals or other people's private events. so i don't think that there is a huge concern that we're going to have people copycat this group sort of speak and go out and harass people at funerals. so, the slippery slope, at least as it pertains to funerals isn't really applicable in this case but the slippery slope does go both ways. if can you harass people at a funeral i suppose can you harass them at a wedding. you can harass them at their home, their school, their work place. >> bill: all right. now, mr. snyder, you have observed the opening arguments in the supreme court. what struck you as interesting? >> i think sean did a really good job. i think he touched on the major points, bill. i think that, you know, he laid out that this was harassment. and that's what it was. it was -- it was targeted. i think sean pointed that out right and like he said the slippery slope does have two sides.

>> bill: now, do you understand the other argument that the government, that many people don't want the government telling even hate groups what they can and can't say? do you understand that argument? >> yes, i do bill. i understand that. but, you know, you have to draw the line somewhere. it has to be drawn at funerals. >> bill: when people say to you, look, they obey the law by being back a certain amount. i think it was a thousand feet from the actual ceremony, how do you answer that mr. snyder? >> to me, bill, it wouldn't have mattered if they were 150,000 feet behind. it wasn't just about the funeral. it was what they did before and after the funeral. to me, that was the intrusion, also. >> bill: what was that? what did they do to you before and after? >> well, when they -- when they sent out the notice to the media and to the law enforcement that they were coming. the notice started out as a picture of matt on it and then it had a military coffin and

underneath the military coffin it said burial of an ass and then it went on to say that they would be protesting at saint john's catholic dog kennel. because of that action there, we had to have swat teams. there were media coming out of the woodwork. there were emergency vehicles. there were. >> bill: it was a circus. it was a zoo. you didn't have your right to privacy. >> it was. >> bill: listen, everybody knows i'm on your side. >> they want to say. >> bill: i know what they want to say. they are hiding behind the constitution it gives them the right to do this vile stuff. we're on your side here, mr. snyder. i said you have to pay court costs. we will pick tum. we will help you in any way we will. you are right. i disagree with a lot of my colleagues here at fox news. you can't have intentional emotional infliction of distress at the level they did to you and your family. you just can't have it in america. there has to be a line as you rightly pointed out. so we appreciate you guys coming on. we will follow the case every step of the way. it is a very important case for america. we thank you very much.

plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. megyn kelly will weigh in on the snyder case. federal grand jury continuing to investigate john edwards in north carolina. then, culture warriors on a vote naked campaign. what's that all about? we hope you stay tuned to those reports. pwpwpspwpspw@s@a 

>> bill: kelly file segment tonight, let's bring in mismegyn because we have three interesting stories to talk about. your reaction to my interview i just did here. >> did you a nice job and didn't misstate any of the facts of the case. that was a good job. >> bill: i never misstate.

>> you can have nothing but sympathy and empathy for mr. snyder. that was clear from the supreme court when they heard his case this week. it's a question of how far the first amendment goes. >> bill: you and i disagree on this. do you want to make a prediction how the supreme court is going to governmental i don't think it went well for him overall. i didn't go to the arguments this time. i read the transcript and i read the write ups from the people i trust. and my sense is that the justices, a couple of them were struggling to find a compromise position so they could throw on some bones. >> bill: i see this with all due respect to the counselor i wish i had made the case to the supreme court. i'm not lawyer. i don't care about that mumbo jumbo. here is the deal on this. there was a case in oklahoma, gun vs. the church of christ of collinsville, are you familiar with this? amazingly, bill. i don't know every case off the top of my head. >> bill: this is emotional distress, intentional infliction of emotional distress which is what this is all about. the courts ruled that this

church, all right, was libel to this lady because the lady committed a sin in the church's eyes. she was living with a guy or something like that. the church, the pastor went on the pulpit, up to the pulpit and said she is a sinner and named her. marianne gun. the courts ruled that that preacher, because he targeted her intentionally inflicted emotional distress and that church lost. >> what court was it? >> bill: this is oklahoma. >> yeah. it's not the u.s. supreme court. >> bill: it's not a federal case. >> that's the problem. no. >> bill: it's the targeted nature of it? >> there is no case on point here. the question is -- it's not whether it's targeted. the question is whether you can have -- there is a tort called intentional infliction of emotional distress. the question is whether that can apply when you are talking about speech. that's essentially what they did. >> bill: that's what happened here. >> you know what will happen if the court says yes to that, with the supreme court. that's oklahoma. let me finish my point. >> bill: hold it wait, wait. so the people know, the original

judgment was in maryland. >> it doesn't matter. the supreme court is bound by a whole host of federal, high court jurisdiction. jurisprudence that speaks to the issue of the first amendment. what i'm telling you, bill. >> bill: they are adjudicating a state case here. go ahead. >> what i'm telling you, bill, is if they say that outrageous speech can give rise to a claim like mr. snyder had, then you can -- you wait for the flow of lawsuits we're going to get over cartoons depicting the prophet mohammed. you wait for the flow -- that's speech. >> bill: i'm not disputing that would lead to it? >> abortion clinic protests. those will be banned. protests outside of a mosque. speech to somebody as they are trying to attend their -- it opens. >> bill: you are doing the slippery slope thing. >> that's what the supreme court has to worry about. >> bill: fine. >> with all due respect it's not just about mr. snyder. >> bill: it is just about it because his case was an intentional infliction of emotional distress by this group. >> it doesn't matter, bill. county supreme court try to find

a very narrow exception just for mr. snyder and a funeral and this church, yes, they can. >> bill: i hope they do. >> once the supreme court rules, it gets expanded by aggressive lawyers across the country to try to cover everything. and you wait until the people go in and say depiction of the cartoon mohammed are intentional inflection of emotional distress on me and i want that journalist arrested and targeted. >> bill: you know how we get around it court costs paid by frivolous lawsuit people. get around that and eliminate it. you and i are not ever going to agree on this. >> all right. >> bill: let's go to john edwards. the grand jury still after all of this time anything new there. >> now they are casting a wide net of new subpoenas to staffers and small-time associates and schedulers as well as some very big people with the campaign to try to get more information. it all boils down to whether he used campaign funds to pay off his mistress as hush money so she wouldn't tell the world she was his mistress and had his

child. >> bill: right. >> they are still investigating this after all this time. they had edwards testify. they had rielle hunter testify. they had andrew young testify. andrew yowrng, -- young who was edwards' close aid he threw him under the bus. >> bill: he wrote a book about it. >> he told the grand jury yeah, it happened. i don't know what the other witnesses said. >> bill: it's still in play. >> yeah. >> bill: questioning more people. >> how strong is the case if it's taken this long. over a year. may of 2009 that his lawyer acknowledged that it was happening, the grand jury probe. >> bill: remember who is in charge of the justice department thank you very much. as predicted in the guantanamo bay civilian court routine, there is a terrorist on trial for the embassy bombings in africa. one of the main witnesses has been barred by the judge because of some cia intrusion, right? >> yes. the defendant is ahmed ghailani, he was allegedly osama bin laden's body guard at a point and guilty, they say, of these

bombings. and the star witness against him was this guy hughes sane -- hussein abbe. he was tortured essentially harsh interrogation and that's how ghailani gave up the name abbebb. >> bill: they were dunking him in water? >> yeah. >> bill: he gave up the name so that's -- that's just a subjective thing on the judge's part. >> the judge didn't do anything wrong. once this court got moved into civilian court the judge has to follow the constitution. >> bill: that's why it should be in the military. megyn kelly, everybody. so you are going to predict that the supreme court is going to rule against the snyders, right? >> i think so. >> bill: i can't bet you on that. i already won a state dinner on rendell. i can't bet you but i'm praying you are wrong. >> i told you i thought it was going to be a close case. i still think it's going to be a close case. >> bill: when we come right back, the culture warriors on a

vote naked campaign. also a commentator saying that killing disabled children is okay. later, what christine o'donnell, president obama and tony curtis

people like watching it rain, as long as they're not outside. but, i'm a home. i'm always outside. i make being inside possible. look, do me a favor. get flood insurance. floods can devastate your home. fred, how you doing over there? i think this is gonna be a problem.

>> with us now the culture warriors fox news analyst margaret hoover and "fox & friends" co-anchor gretchen carlson. all right, carlson, effective? gets your attention, right? >> no kidding. i mean, i was looking where that cup was placed. [ laughter ] >> bill: i didn't know what it was going -- what was going to happen there. i thought it might have been a rahm emanuel campaign thing for mayor of chicago. >> funny. i thought it was an s and l skit. >> bill: what do you mean funny? >> it's so cheese i couldn't don't think it's real. this is what we have come to. voting is a privilege. but since most people choose not to vote, we now have to put naked people up on the screen to try to get people energized. >> bill: that's not bad thing. >> that people don't vote? yeah, it is. >> let's be clear about who we is. the left in illinois trying to drive the youth vote to the polls. 24 months ago they swarmed to the polls to vote for barack obama and a the democrats thought that they were going to seal the deal with an entire generation of voters. >> bill: why wouldn't

conservative voters flock to this message as well? why is it -- >> the youth vote, when you are targeting the youth vote in illinois, you are targeting people to come out and vote for the democratic party. this is barack obama's senate seat this year. >> bill: you are making that leap. >> this is not a hard leap. this is illinois. this is rock the vote. this is roosevelt university. the majority of 30 and under's vote for democrats right now that's just the way it is. >> part of the bill is that they will establish early voting registration booths on the state's nine public university campuses. she is correct. >> bill: i understand they want people to vote and register and vote by mail. but i don't understand why this would appeal to liberals rather than conservatives? everybody would pay attention to that. >> everybody would pay attention to it but who are youth voting right now? youth are voting overwhelmingly for democrats. >> bill: older people will pay attention and say maybe i should sign up too. >> this is a youth year message. >> you see the naked voting thing oh yeah i have got to

vote. >> bill: everybody watching that would go what is this and what do they want? >> it is youth here. but here is the point we are missing. i suspect there is a tremendous amount of fraud with this where can you vote in the mail like this. we already know that dead people are voting. >> bill: here is my concern. if they are going to vote with their clothes on, does it still count. >> vote early and often is all that matters. >> bill: this rahm emanuel was a good line. i have got to stop you. now we have got to go to a more serious situation. in england, there is a pundit who said something that is really, really disturbing. roll the tape. >> if i were a mother of a suffering child, i would be the first to want -- i mean deeply suffering child, i would be the first to want to put a pillow over its faces a i would with -- any suffering thing. and i think the difference is my feeling of horror, suffering is much greater than my feeling of getting rid of a couple of cells

because suffering can go on for years. >> bill: so that woman says, you know, if i have a suffering child i might put a pillow over its head and suffocate it and everybody is going like this. >> like did she actually just say that? this is a woman who writes sort of a dear abby column in the u.k. independent. this is in the context of the debate whether they should legalize euthanasia they have socialized form of medicine. to save money why don't they allow euthanasia to happen. people who are terminally ill are going all the way to switzerland to interest v. themselves -- >> bill: euthanasia under a doctor's supervision for terminal illnesses is a lot different than to put the pillow over a head of a child who has a disability. >> how do you determine who is disabled enough to get the pillow? this is so ridiculous. so a kid who has cerebral palsy suddenly that's disabled enough to shorter -- smother the kid?

>> that's so ridiculous. the far left accused the right when we were discussing health care reform in this country of death panels and saying we were going to have death panels under obama care. how does this sound to you. >> bill: that's in england. >> this is what is coming to america. >> bill: if somebody said that to the united united states thed be in trouble. >> this is outside the mainstream even in england. this is outrageous. spurred a huge amount of reaction editorials, commentary about it whether collapsing unwanted and disabled, you know, the value of a life is still, you know, full and the quality of life for people who are disabled. >> bill: i don't want children to suffer, who does? i mean, nobody does. but i'm going to say, you know, i'm going to put the pillow over their head, you know. >> that's murder. >> there is no such thing as compassionate murder. >> how many people have we interviewed in our years

journalism parents who have disabled children who say that is the best thing that ever happened to them in their lives because they learned about life through that child. >> >> bill: there are children who grow into adults with severe handicaps who are tremendous contributors to society. this woman has got the pillow and is going to be going around. i think this is a desensitivity to all of these issues now because of the -- you heard alan colmes reproductive rights. they never really think about the bigger picture. >> no need to conflate reproductive rights with having a worthwhile wholesome life of a disabled person. >> bill: let me say this to you. whether you believe in abortion or not, it is a very serious issue. and to cloud it under the euphemism, reproductive rights is insulting, insulting to the potential human beings who lose their lives. you have got to think about that thing and get that slogan off your mind. this is about destroying a fetus. >> potential human life. it is a dilemma, not a choice. i agree with you. it's a dilemma, not a choice.

it is up to every -- >> bill: free country you have a legal right to make that decision but a moral right. that's between you and the maker. >> and any woman and her god to make a decision on. >> bill: knock the sloganeering off. great american news quiz. bruce willis does something strange on late night tv. you can vote whether he is a pinhead or a patriot. .

the witchcraft charges. >> i'm not a witch. i'm nothing you've heard. i'm you. none of us are perfect. but none of us can be happy with what we see all around us. politicians who think spending, trading favors, and back room deals are the ways to stay in office. i'll go to washington and do what you would do. >> bill: ms. o'donnell did not ask martha maccallum about the none of us are perfect -- in the late 1600s in salem, masses, more than 150 people were arrested for witchcraft. 196 -- 19 of them were actually executed up there. how were they executed? >> bill: the answer is they were hanged. by cotton matther and his crew. >> i thought they were drowned in the. >> bill: you got dunked if you

fooled around. if you were a witch you got hanged. >> i'm sticking with drowned. >> bill: walter mondale criticized president obama's use of teleprompters. >> i think he tends to and he uses these idiot boards to read speeches in television and i think he loses the connection that he needs emotionally with an american voters. >> i want to assure everybody we do not use idiot boards here.
