has to say, okay, ha, ha, ha, caption here, please. i mean, imagine, bill, if you did that or i did that on the radio, you did that on television in a similar setting. sandra bullock's child, look, i have a daughter who's from latin america. she's pretty brown skinned, you know, you just don't do that, right? i don't want to make a bigger deal of it than it is, because i think a lot of other things that happened at msnbc have been much more egregious, but again, the type of thing that the left tends to get away with, especially involving whites and -- versus blacks. they seem to get away with this kind of stuff time and again, and we've become kind of numb to it, but it certainly isn't helping the cause of liberalism, which i think msnbc strives to assist at all terms. >> the picture they were referring to with the black child was a christmas card that the romneys sent out. and they wanted to demean mitt romney and his family, that was the tone of the three of them. now you worked at msnbc, see, i problem over there, that there is a culture that either promotes or encourages in some way these personal attacks, because they've trafficked in them for years. now it's reached critical mass on a lot of different fronts. am i wrong? >> look, leadership comes from the top down, and most news organizations, roger ailes sets the tone for fox, and i think we all try to live up to that, and i think at msnbc, you have phil griffin. i worked with phil at msnbc, he's always nice to me. i think it was in the early days from '96 to 2000 when i was there, and it was a different sensibility. it was kind of more edgy than lefty, right? you had a lot of conservative voices at msnbc at the time and it was a little bit more interesting back then, and now it seems as they've become more desperate, bill, in the quest to make some dent in these ratings, it's almost like people have to almost one-up each other. either that or they are just incredibly stupid, which could be a possibility. >> they are not incredibly stupid, i mean, they are not doing well. if cnn is -- cnn, by the way, doesn't do this stuff very much. >> no. >> but they are in big trouble ratingswise and msnbc beats them by a little, and i guess they feel that this far left approach they take is the reason why, but i couldn't to be amazed by comcast, the parent company of nbc, owns it, took it over from general electric, because i've dealt with comcast in the past, and it's a good company, in my opinion. they know what's going on. they are a liberal crew to some extent, but not irresponsible. and they are allowing this to happen. this is just embarrassing, is it not? >> yeah, brian roberts, the ceo of comcast, is a pretty big democrat donor, couple hundred thousand to democrats, i believe, and $27,000, might be getting the numbers off a little bit, for republicans. there's quite a differential between his democratic donations and republican donations. i think their affinity is to the left, but i'll ask this question of mr. roberts, how is this helping liberalism? if you're a liberal, you want an effective liberal. someone like rachel maddow -- >> she is responsible, she makes her point, she believes what she says, she's not malicious. >> no, i don't think so. >> why can't you hire a few more of those kind of people? now make a prediction. make a prediction, is comcast going to step in and do anything about this network? >> well, i would like to think they would. my prediction is some time in the next 12 months, especially before the next presidential election, you'll see the swinging door at msnbc again and there will probably be new faces and some of the newcomers of the last year or so will be gone. >> maybe they'll make you a big offer and we'll have to top it. >> yeah, bill, that's going to be a tough one. >> ms. laura ingraham, everybody. plenty more ahead this evening. kelly on two-court rulings, one on religion, the other on welfare drug use. >>> then charles krauthammer on the far left taking over new york c you're givi away pie? would you like apple or cherry? cherry. oil...or cream? definitely cream.

[ male announcer ] cleaner, fresher, brighter every day. >>> health segment tonight, the first one of 2014, we have some interesting letters from some very annoyed folks. here to help us out, heather noward, word of the day. heather, first letter from sam, lives in new jersey. mad at hell because an innocent man was gunned down in new jersey by four african-americans and not a word out of al sharpton about this. first of all, what happened there? >> yeah, they caught the four guys responsible. he was shot in the head on december the 14th, 15th, rather, late last year, and the four guys are in jail, in essex county, new jersey now, and charged with a whole slew of crimes, murder, felony murder, conspiracy, what have you. >> what happened was this lawyer and his wife were christmas shopping at a mall and these four, two of them just out of prison, were cruising to try to carjack and shot the guy in the head. so this is a crime, it's a crime, and it could be committed by any race, and it is, there are carjackers by hispanics, whites, everybody else. should somebody like sharpton, who's always mouthing off about how blacks are treated poorly in the criminal justice system, be saying something about this. >> the prosecutor says this doesn't appear racially motivated, it's about a car, fancy range rover. >> stripping it down, getting money to buy drugs, that's what it is about. >> crime rate in new jersey, carjackings, and there's been a major rash of carjackings in this area so far, it's gone up 44% in the past couple years. >> letter number two comes from reverend michael croll. this hasn't been a good year of holding anybody accountable, but now senator richard blumenthal of connecticut wants to hold ups responsible for not delivering packages on time for christmas. so the government is getting involved in ups? >> some constituents from kentucky are saying, wait a minute, don't we have more important things? nevertheless, some people who ordered -- >> what does blumenthal want? >> ups, fedex, other companies, to pay back people who paid for the speedy delivery. >> is that unreasonable, shouldn't you get a refund? >> look, i think the retailers should be responsible. >> blumenthal is not being a pin head, he's sticking up for the pros. >> people are saying aren't there more important things. >> i don't care what people say, i want to do this. if you pay your money for an on-time delivery that's guaranteed and you don't get it, they should be forced to give a refund. i'm with blumenthal. >> i think you have to be a little suspicious when they promise something on the 23rd and expect to get it by christmas. doesn't take a rocket scientist -- >> contract's a contract. third let from d.j. king. i'm mad because i don't think a majority of parents are teaching their children manners and social etiquette. i think that's a growing problem in this country. >> i disagree. i have a 3 year old and 4 year old, both boys. kids throw temper tantrums. it certainly happens. it's embarrassing for the parents and a lot of parents will pick up their kids and take them out of there. >> you think most americans are doing what you do? >> i think most parents try to teach their children please, thank you. >> you do? have you been to a shopping mall lately? >> yes, yes, yes! but here's where i have a problem. i have a problem with kids who are 6, 7, 8, 9, when aren't doing that. >> i don't think so. i think civility in this country is declining. next letter from colorado springs. i'm angry because i attended my grandson's elementary school show and the kids sang about frosty the snowman and santa and hanukkah and peace but nowhere was christmas mentioned. there is a war on christmas. do you believe there sa war on christmas? >> i believe that some people are not comfortable with embracing god or religion or faith. >> you believe there's a war on christmas, but "the san francisco chronicle" does not, so we have to surrender. "san francisco chronicle" says no war on christmas. tony, i used to like jesse waters until he called pigeons rats. pigeons have been man's friend and ally longer than dogs have. i can't go into all the ways pigeons have benefitted man. >> two ways. >> fascinating, world war ii, normandy, delivering messages from france to the uk. >> all right. >> they were concerned that the nazis would intercept. >> pigeons knew where the address was better than ups. they came and they delivered. >> that's what ups needs. the second one is search and water rescue. >> yes. >> basically taught by the u.s. coast guard to go out and spot people in boats in the middle of the water. >> pigeons do that? >> yeah. >> how do they tell? they can't speak. >> they have very good eyesight. >> they circle around and maybe go with the beak. that's what they would do with water, try to rescue. >> you're going to be thankful for these pigeons. >> i'm thankful now. if you're mad at hell, we want to know about it, please write us, madashell&foxnews.com. >>> kelly is next. ♪ we're gonna be late. ♪ ♪ ♪ oh are we early?
