i haven't heard of anybody who has defended neil monroe. e was wrong. here is chris wallace, who went on shepp smith's show friday afternoon. >> i think it's outrageous. i covered ronald reagan for six years. with sam donaldson, we used to scream our lungs out asking questions, but we always waited until the president had any -- any had finished speaking. the idea that you would interrupt the president in the middle of prepared remarks and shout a question, i don't think the guy should be allowed back in the white house, you know, on a press pass. >> i couldn't agree more. i have already told the leadership of the white house correspondence association of which i am a member, that i think we as a group should con condemn him and i think we should support and ask the white house to pull his pass and never allow him back at any other event in the white house. kathleen's calling from kimbridge, virginia. kathleen, what's your take on this. >> good morning, bill. keep up the good work. i love your program. >> you are very kind. >> thank you. i a

first of all, when he was speaking, the president was speaking, and neil monroe started interruptingy asks questions, it is completely and utterly unacceptable. look, we have to have some sense of decorum. we have to let people speak in this country. it drives me crazy when somebody's speaking and students or activists throw a pie in their face or even the glitter bombs i don't like. let people say their peace. but the second part of this is that i think our media actually is not aggressive enough in questioning whether it's the president, whether it was president bush or president obama. so when he gets to the question-and-answer portion, i think it should be a lot more aggressive. >> all right. matt, he's your colleague at the "daily caller." a lot of conservatives have criticized what he did. he claimed -- neil monroe says he believed the president was closing his remarks, he had no intention of interrupting him. but he kept on talking while the president was trying to speak. >> well, first of all -- a little about neil monroe. he's an irish immigrant himself. he was with "the nat

this was a monumental act of rudeness act by neil monroe.i that we have to be aggressive in questioning the president. yes, reporters should shout questions at presidents when they've finished a statement, when they're working a rope line, walking to the helicopter. not while the president is addressing not just in the rose garden but the american people via television. >> it won't diminish the president's commitment to pursuing immigration policies that reflect our values, laws and history as a nation of immigrants. monroe issued his own statement saying, i timed the question believing the president was closing his remarks because naturally i have no intention of interrupting the president of united states. i know he rarely takes questions before walking away from the podium. you buy that? >> i don't buy it at all. first of all, he interrupted mid mf sentence. second of all he kept talking while the president said, excuse me, i'm not taking questions right now. the president circled back and said i'm answering your question, he spoke again.

. >> that apparently wag neil monroe -- apparently neil monroe from the daily caller.f somebody did that to the queen they would be shot. >> he wasn't actually addressing the reporter. he was addressing a bird. >> is that right? >> yes, the bird that was tweeting. that means perhaps president obama is dilution national. you don't address a tweeting bird. >> they said that about dr. doo little. >> and look what happened to him. in a way it is offensive. as you know the queen is royalty and in a sense president obama is your royalty. he is both your king and your queen. >> and our prime minister and our president and our king -- gentlemen, and our king. >> what do you say for every illegal that gets to say but we can kick someone out. the peruvian can stay, but chris brown has to go. >> i found it interesting that an administration official said this policy change that was announced is another step in the administration's evolving approach to immigration. allall of this evolution in an election year. >> these things always come out as november approaches. >> and there is

tucker carlson said he is proud by neil monroe. he was trending worldwide on twitter. >> that is amazing. thanks, john. we'll take the gains today, but are the markets rallying for the wrong reasons? and more ahead right now on "closing bell." >> the facebook ipo blame game is heating up. somebody here says facebook stock would have plunged regardless of the trading at the nasdaq. >> do they think what we're doing now is a program of success? it's a program of disaster. >> the former head of ibm says leaders in washington are crazy if they think what is happening in europe won't happen here. is the u.s. headed for a euro style crisis? take me out to the ball game, maria's stepping up to the plate for charity at yankee stadium. we have the video, and you will see it later on the "closing bell." >>> welcome back, the major averages having the best run, but we're talking a rally because of a bailout. fed action in the united states, and ahead of the fed meeting next week. with us now john carey, and charles gushy. so we rally stocks b

i'm not saying that neil monroe, the reporter, is a racist.who are saying that president obama is an "other." he's not american like the rest of us. he wasn't born here. i don't his college education. he's a muslim. to me that's a racial thing we've never seen before. it angers me because he's not a democratic president but the president of the united states of america and he deserves the same respect as any other president and having a congressman yell "you're lying" during a joint session of congress, no one has ever done that. having a conservative reporter and heck it will president twice. i'm a comedian. heckle me once, it's a mistake. heckle me twice and it's an agenda. this man, neil monroe, had a agenda. deport him! >> here's the thing i think is interesting. being in the workforce and working with -- i grew up in a family of all women so i know the plight of women and how they are sometimes diermd as "other." and women in the workplace don't get respect. and men will question women in a way that they won't question men. and i think th

the question, according to john harwood, not audible on the tape but he spoke to neil monroe and he saidd he only asked him what any reporter would ask. >> which was what? >> apparently at the end of the remarks, what monroe was saying which was audible on the tape was, how are you doing this when there are americans out of work and don't have jobs? ironically, according to a facebook page with his name on it, he is from dublin, ireland. educated at king's college at london and dublin and it may be that monroe himself is not an american. >> do you think -- >> not recent lay american. >> do you think he was angry of a 45-minute sfwhat. >> well, there was a delay there in getting it off the ground. >> can i just ask you about that? the president tends to be late a lot. very late. >> sure. >> do we know why? >> well, you never know why with the president of the united states. he has a lot of things going. could be a military thing going on. meeting with somebody that's not on the official schedule going on. in this case, the president at an event off campus and was late getting back from th

. >> neil monroe asked the president why he favors foreigners over american workers. the editors of the online site tweeted late this afternoon that they are proud of him for doing his job, but monroe's behavior sparked debate over whether reporters should be interrupting the commander in chief when they have a question. tell us what you think on our wusa9 facebook page. >>> the president's announcement comes after two days maryland's highest court affirmed they can qualify for instate tuition. maryland's governor, martin o'malley says he likes that decision. >> i think this is the right move. it also helps with enforcement, because there are so many people that don't need the attention of immigration services. like any effort, being able to focus in on the people where you really want to target your resources, the violent offenders and need to be deported and need to be taken out of our country, that's a big help to enforcement. >> now it is children and young people who are at the center of this controversy. today, families rallied outside the white house to voice t

let me tell you about this guy, his name is neil monroe. he works for a right-wing cable news operation and web site. and before the president could finish describing his big unilateral change in immigration policy, he shouted a question. you could see the president kind of snap a look at the guy and he said, i'm doing this because it's right. and then when with the president was actually done, there was another brief exchange. later, the reporter said he only wanted to ask a question and he's been defended, raj, by his bosses who said the president was trying to dodge some key issues here at the white house. so that's that little business. but the main bit is pretty dramatic. it's a unilateral move by the president to change u.s. immigration enforcement, which in effect, of course, changes policy, when you take about 800,000 people and you're not going to deport them. he said he's doing it because congress didn't and because he said, emphatically, because it's the right thing to do, raj. >> steve handelsman reporting live from washington.

he decided to get inside the head of neil monroe and claimed that what neil monroe did by interruptingpeople have agreed it was but it was racism. >> right, and so over on cnn, one of their hard news anchors, don lemon weighed in on mr. donaldson's statement that neil monroe was interrupting the president of the united states because he was a racist with this comment. >> let's face it, many on the political right believe this president ought not to be there. they oppose him not just for his policies and political view but for who he is, an african-american. finally, the elephant in the rose garden. thank you, sam donaldson, enough said there. >> really? sam donaldson goes on to say, he says some people and news organizations encourage disrespect for the president and he called out rush limbaugh for doing that. >> here is bernie goldberg with bill o'reilly last night weighing in on this. >> do you really think that those people you call right wing bigots, racists, do you really think they'd be racist toward a black man, a conservative black man who was president of the united states? i

really makes some of the question here about how long this will last politically this reporter, neil monroe from the daily caller interrupting the president during his remarks. that is a breach of white house protocol and not something i have ever seen in all the years i have been going to the white house. reporters do holler questions but they generally wait until he has finished his prepared remarks. >> let me tell you, we will explain why i think this is a cynical political election ploy even though i do favor some of these. take a listen to what the president had to say on the whole matter. >> that's just not the case. there are enough laws s on the books by congress in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system. that for me to simply through executive order ignore the congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president. >> all right. that question directly contradicts what he said today. not give how about brainiacs coming over to help us in high-tech. going to damage the cause of immigration reform and not helping. joining us we have maria theres

. >> the person asking the question was neil monroe right there in the light colored khaki jacket. he's a reporter for the daily caller. monroe asked the president why do you favor foreigners over american workers. he later said he thought obama was finishing his speech and wanted to get a question in before the president walked back inside. he said, quote, a roert's job is to ask questions and get answers. our job is to find out what the federal government is up to. a good reporter gets the story. we're proud of neil munro. >>> the next republican nominee for governor in virginia will not be chosen by voters. they'll hold a convention rather than a primary. convention delegates will decide between bill bold iing or ken cuccinelli. >>> a proposal that would have made virginia one of the most restrictive and expensive state in the country for women to get an abortion has been struck down. the virginia board of health rejected a requirement that existing abortion clinics meet the same building standards as new hospitals. instead only newly constructed clinics will now have to meet th
