which is crazier, not having the tax or al gore himself? on my facebook page. ray writes this: gore and the rest of the progressives are nuts to think they can change behavior by increasing taxes. and john agrees: al gore, he says, is nuttier than a squirrel. that's one of the best e-mails i've ever seen. all right. we also asked the question on jerry willis.com. 4% said no carbon tax, 96% said al gore. here are some of your e-mails. richard from michigan writes: if paul ryan considers our average social security benefit of $1200 a month an entitlement the government can't afford, what does he consider the average congressional benefit of $3300 a month for which they have contributed little or nothing? grand larceny, pardon me, we can afford? you don't hear any democrat or republican talking about cutting those payments or increasing their contributions to the plans. and dean from iowa asks: if you were on a plane and it was of being taken over by a couple of terrorists, how many people on that plane who are not terrorists would you want to

it happened in democratic primaries when al gore -- -- he attacked michael dukakis or willy horton. your greater point is a critical point for republicans. i come from a state that is 38% black. highest percentage population of any state. republicans like george bush and mitt romney get 5% or less. i got 20%-something mississippi from the blacks in mississippi, and i would like to think partially because i had a good record, but also because i tried. if your greater point is a critical point for we talk abou 27% of the hispanic vote after saying effectively we want your grandmother to self-deport, you know, i want to know who the 27% of hispanics who voted for him.

. >> bill: al gore be damned, is that what you are saying? >> i often say that al gore?aughter ] >> bill: did you actually call me on knock us -- obnoxious on my own program? is that allowed? i have one of those ejector seats. i was goods going to use on colmes. john stossel and daryl hannah hates him. courts saying the state can't drug test welfare recipients. legal next. >> bill: thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly in the is it legal segment tonight it. three hot topics. get to them. here now attorneys and fox news analyst kimberly guilfoyle and lis wiehl. miami, a jury wanted to hold a sex offender, convicted sex offender -- not hold. a jury wanted to release the sex offender after the 25-year term. >> right. 4 the years old now. here is he. >> bill: what he did do. >> sexual assault of six women. he served his 25 years. full service. he was going to be let out. in florida they have a law that says you can be detained even after your criminal. >> bill: a lot of states have that. >> they have it. a jury of sex said no, he he -- a jury of six said no. he shoul

. >> you are close to the former vice president al gore. his overriding purpose is saving the earth from an holocaust.al he often says that. given that goal, were you surprised to discover he just took $100 million from the oil- rich family that runs qatar, and next time you see him, will you ask him to give that money to an environmental charity with his apologies? >> when our grandchildren inherits a planet that is still alive and functioning, they will think al gore, the nobel peace prize winner. you do not believe in climate science, as tucker pointed out. it is real. i think this is ingenious. this is gore at his best. he is using these funds for good. he is a genius. >> that was valiant. here's my question. mr. carlson, mitt romney could live anywhere he wants -- except the white house -- and so he chose to sell his mansion in utah and buy a mansion in liberal la jolla, california. why did he decide to settle in california? >> mitt romney -- the name rings a bell -- as someone who is from la jolla, i would say he inexplicable, to be h

and unfortunately i'm old enough to remember the attempts by al gore and re-inventing government back in the day, and it seems like all the evidence from government, and all these challenges, would argue that the chances for re-inventing government anytime soon or slim to nil. what do you think? >> guest: am i supposed to disagree? >> host: well you recommended -- >> guest: expecting it to happen two entirely different things. let's put the framework around this conversation for the viewers. as you know, the largest source of funding for the charitable sector by far is the federal government, outstripping all other sources, all the sources by far, and larger than any -- all collections. half a trillion a year. it's -- it is. >> host: it's there's larger bucket of money that comes from earned income when you look at the nonprofit sector, but it's the largest. >> guest: i treat those differently because income is not on a transactional basis as oppose ode a decision to give money to an organization because it is effect enough pursuing a public purpose. when i recommend re-inventing gove

gore obviously that the supreme court is more partisan as knnia was just talking about.. let's take a listen. >> it really enrages me to hear people refer to it as a politicized court. neither i nor any one of my colleagues votes a certain way because he or she likes this president or is a member of the party that that president belongs to. i couldn't care less who the president is. >> so, professor, this comes from the same person who's compared homosexuality to murder, to prostitution, to incest, to bestiality, and yet he wants us to believe that he doesn't care about partisan politics? or ideology? really? >> we're not buying it, right? because, i mean, since the supreme court picked a president, maybe they don't care who the presidents are, but once you make that kind of intervention, as nia was mentioning, that's contributed to the declining popularity of this hallowed institution. ska lcalia is the last person h who can have credibility in talking about not being political. when you look back at the litany of his kind of comments as sort of conservative positions a

of the problems mitt romney had that joy was talking about were similar to the kind of problems al gore had in 2000 and john kerry had in 2004 which essentially you had a campaign apparatus that would not let the guy talk about who the core of what he was is. the core of who he is is his mormonism, his deep commitment to his faith, and his belief he was a great governor of massachusetts. when you take those things away, like you said to al gore in 2000, you can't talk about the environment, what you get is someone who is inauthentic. >> i remember that image that was presented by parents of a 14-year-old who died at a very young age of mitt romney coming to his bedside with a legal tablet and preparing for him his last will and testament so that he knew where his skateboard would go. >> right. >> not shown in prime time. if you weren't watching a feed like ours on msnbc, chances are you didn't even see it. that's not the fault of the media. that's whomever put it at 9:00 instead of 10:00 at night. >> i think it's part of the core problem i think with the romney campaign is it was operat
