provoking trump more. is assad provoking trump by doing this or is lindsey graham, who long wanted deeper u.s. intervention in syria, who was really critical of barack obama and now is pressuring trump to go deeper, do more to try to push assad out of power, is he using this as an opportunity to try to go after trump s pride, to try to say, hey, you can t let this guy push you around? i mean in other words graham maybe is sort of the instigator here because graham doesn t want to see these strikes that we saw the other night just on this one airfield to be the end of the story. he thinks there should be a much deeper american involvement in syria, that there should be a coordinated campaign to try to push assad out and hold him accountable for what he s done there. despite what trump did on thursday night, there s really there doesn t seem to be any appetite in this administration for at this point pressing further down that line. so i see definitely the ultimate cull pa ability here
we re conservative, but we re not mad about it. reporter: senator lindsey graham is south carolina s cheerful conservative. but most republicans didn t expect 2014 to be a cheerful year for him. this is a conservative state with an active tea party and graham doesn t talk like a tea party senator. my sister went to college with pell grants. and i can tell you there was a time when social security benefits meant the world to my family. so i m a republican who believes that there is a role for the government. they just can t shut us out and stifle our chances to succeed as individuals. reporter: he s angered the base backing immigration reform and president obama s two nominees. what are you up against here? well, i don t know. seven to ten people. i think incumbency is part of it. you know, washington s broken. i get that.
bill: once they find out where this came from. right. bill: and there are hundreds involved, right? hundreds of girls names and boys. hundreds. this is huge. started on blackberry and spread out on facebook. huge. bill: hundreds of schools and federal offense if it goes across state lines. whoever did this is in huge trouble, right? but, criminally, it would be a big long stretch to charge this criminally because the cyber bullying laws, you know are very, very weak. new york connecticut doesn t even have one. new york says if it s on school property, well then it can be cyber bullying, come on, cyber bullying never happens. bill: it doesn t cross state line. interstate. what are you going to do? international bill: i don t know, you tell me. did they break the law by posting names and posting descriptions next to the names, you know, demeaning denigrating these kids? did they break the law? not criminally. it is a big stretch.

bill: i can do that. so is miss alley a pinhead or patriot for that? last night we showed you franklin graham saying all the earthquakes and mideast violence may be a signal the end of the world could be near. mr. graham doesn t know but believes it is worth discussion. 85% agree with him. 15% believe he s a pinhead for big it up. that is it for us. we would like you to spout off about the factor from anywhere in the world. oreilly@foxnews.com. name and town, if you wish to opine. here s the word today, do not be invidious when writing to the factor. we want you to perspicacious. you guys giving me a hard time about never being positive.
