O'REILLY: "Watters' World" segment tonight. If you've ever been Key West, Florida, you know it is the end of the U.S.A. in more ways than one, a notorious outlaw town.
It was also a place where Ernest Hemingway and Harry Truman liked to hang out. For my money, there is no place more colorful in America than Key West. So, we sent Watters down there to check it out.

WATTERS: No one watches TV. They don't have telephones, the Internet.

WATTERS: They don't even have bank accounts.
O'REILLY: This is for Americans who just want to say, "Enough."
WATTERS: Right.
O'REILLY: "I just want to be left alone to do whatever I want."
WATTERS: They're running from the law most of the time.
O'REILLY: And in Key West, they'll let you do whatever you want.
WATTERS: I didn't see one police officer when I was down there. Someone told me in analogy, it's like, if you shake the country, --
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
-- all sediment winds up in Florida. And then if you shake Florida, the rest --
O'REILLY: Goes down to Key West.
WATTERS: Goes to Key West.
O'REILLY: It's a beautiful place.

O'REILLY: OK. You go to Isle Mirada, you go to Key Largo, fine.

(END VIDEO CLIP)
O'REILLY: That's it. No.
WATTERS: You may wind up --
O'REILLY: Not even a day trip.
(LAUGHTER)

O'REILLY: But they were nice to you. Nobody bothered you, right.
WATTERS: Very nice to me. I got out alive, so --
O'REILLY: OK. Did you get the eyebrows waxed.
WATTERS: No. You know this is the second person that said I had bushy eyebrows.
O'REILLY: I don't know why.
WATTERS: I'm starting to get the hint here.
O'REILLY: All right, Jesse Watters, everybody. And we would like to remind you, we have a new Billoreilly.com poll question. And this is for the folks in Key West, too.
