thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that is it for this "special report." fair, balanced, and unafraid. captions by closed captioning services tonight. >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on. tonight. [gunfire] >> bill: another dictator bites the dust. qaddafi in libya finished. kaput, over. did america do the right thing in the campaign against qaddafi? we have an inside report. >> he said he promised to not arrest -- rest until every american who wanted a job got a job. there he goes to tickle his toes in the sand.

>> bill: is the criticism fair? and how do the folks on martha's vineyard feel about the presidential vacation? >> what would you tell the president to turn this ship around? >> bill o'reilly told me he had a secret weapon. i didn't know it was just a pretty girl that he would bring here. >> laura: that's very condescending here. >> bill: wow, congressman rangle's line to laura ingraham has caused some controversy. bernie goldberg will analyze it tonight. >> bill: you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. captions by closed captioning services >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. we will get to the libyan situation in a moment. first, president obama on vacation. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. you may remember that left wing partisans am her president-i had president bush every august because he vacationed in texas. how key they wailed when the

iraq war was waging. now we have criticism on some on the right directed at president obama currently relaxing with his family on martha's vineyard. how can they do that they say when the country is to toddering president obama doesn't want to be photographed on vacation having fun. the presidents deserve down time with their families. they do work on vacation just as i and millions of other folks do as well. and here's the no spin upside. it's absolutely better for all of us, for all of us if president obama stays out of economic matters for a while because at this point is he not helping. obama care. job killer, no question. tax hikes during a recession? poison a business. which is now scared to expand. increased federal regulation? cutting into profits. and causing banks to hoard not lend money. the debt debate debacle,

incredibly harmful to the american economy. we need to drastically cut federal spending, not tip toe through the fiscal tulips. mr. obama and his economic advisors are on the wrong side of all of these issues, so if is he golfing, i'm happy. get him away from the economy. now, if you think that assessment is unfair, you are misguided because in his own words, the president will not admit his economic vision has been wrong. >> look we have actually made the right decisions, things would have been much worse had we not made those decisions that's not that satisfying if you don't have a job right now i understand and this aexpect to be judged a year from now on whether or not things have continued to get better. good grief what exactly is getting better, mr. president? come on. most americans understand the problem. recent gallup poll says 71% of us believe the president is doing a bad job managing the

economy. 26% think is he doing a good job and some of them are communists that's just a joke for those of you taking notes for george soros. still, we have guys like billionaires warren buffet, no relation to jimmy. writing in the "new york times" mr. buffet laments he ♪ paying enough to the feds because his capital gains are taxed at 15%, not 35% as straight income is of course, increasing the cap gains tax would inhibit investment and further damage the american people. buffet has to know that but, still, clings to the erroneous belief that further taxing the rich is an economic solution. perhaps like his namesake jimmy, old warren is spending some time in margaritaville. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight reaction. joining us wayne rogers entrepreneur. comils ben stein who is also an

actor at times. all right mr. stein. now, you know that you know that everything i said in that memo was true, correct? >> absolutely not. i would say almost every part of it is wrong except for the fact that he is on vacation. he needs a vacation. >> bill: you think is he a positive force. >> i don't think he has caused the recession. >> bill: no. is he a positive force, mr. stein? >> yes, i think he is. >> bill: he is? >> his stimulus program. >> bill: in what way? >> the stimulus program was too much and the money was not well spent but it's probably better than if he hadn't done it at all. did he not cause this recession. he did not cause the prolongation of the recession. is he not the one causing the enormously problematic issue of debt. that was set up for him teed up for him by george bush 43. yes, he has spent too much money. no doubt about that.

why are you against tax raising on the rich? there is no harm. >> bill: you think is he a positive force for the economy because even though you admit he misspent the stimulus money. >> some of it. >> bill: the cause of the recession he is a -- see, look -- >> i don't see -- we will get to the rich in a minute. >> bill, i don't see what he could have done differently. >> bill: i will tell you, mr. stein but i first want to hear from mr. rogers. do you think, mr. rogers, that mr. obama is a positive force in the american economy at this moment? >> i think it's a neutral force. i don't think is he a force at all. i don't think he has much control of it. i don't think he can do much about it. as we have said before, the ability to make law is in the congress and not in the president's hands. >> bill: but when he goes on tv though and he talks about the economy. the stock market drops 200 or 300 points every time he shows up. isn't it better that he plays golf? >> it has nothing to do with it? >> i don't think it has anything

to do with whether he is playing golf or not whether the stock market goes up or down. he doesn't control that either. he has very little influence on that. he makes imunusual speeches and some of those, i think are just wasted. he doesn't influence anyone. the congress is what does it the budget comes out of the congress. the laws come out of the congress and the regulars are the ones who are controlling the economy. not the president. >> bill: there is a psychology to this and you both know that let's get to the tax cuts for the rich here. i got the little chart here. >> here is a little chart, mr. stein, all right? so i'm not like ferris buehrle. i did my homework. all right? i'm in class. there are only 237 billion nargs. >> 237 who earned a million dollars in 2008. >> bill: you can't tax people just sitting on their money, okay? >> yes, you can you can tax that. >> bill: come to their house and

say give me money. >> some states have a wealth tax. >> bill: you have to do something. you have to earn interest or something like that. >> that's the way it is now. >> bill: it's down 39% in two years because the economy has taken the wealthy and battered them around. battered them around. so in 2007, before the recession started, mr. stein, all right, the 390,000 millionaires, people earning more than a million back then paid $309 billion in taxes. now they pay 178. so you get more money -- you get more money the better the economy is. >> absolutely, no question. >> bill: if you take, then you are helping the recession. you are feeding the flames of it? >> that's not true. >> bill: sure it is. >> that isn't true. there is no correlation, i'm going to call you mr. o'reilly. there is no correlation mr. o'reilly between tax rates on millionaires and people above that level, billionaires and the growth of the economy. we have had the highest growth.

>> bill: business people are going to take less money? >>. no we had the highest growth in capital and productivity and the economy generally in the 40s, 50s, and 60's when we had much higher tax than we have now. higher taxes historically have been correlated with more growth. >> bill: mr. rogers, do you agree that taxing the rich more is an economic solution here? >> no. and i would also submit that ben is right in the following sense. there is no correlation between taxes and the rich paying those taxes. the question here is not whether the rich are paying taxes. that's a sop. you want to give that away. you say okay. we will tax people over a million who are earning over a million dollars. not who have over but are earning over a million dollars. we will tax them a little more. why not give that up. what difference does it make? billion bill it's not going to make a difference financially but it would raise more revenue.

mr. stein is right about that. >> it would raise a lot more revenue. >> bill: not a lot. a little it would raise several tens of billions of dollars at east. we need the revenue desperately. they are talking about postponing military retirement and not giving people military retirement that they bargained for. >> bill: even though initially you will would get more, the economy would go down because business would hire fewer people to make up for the higher taxes. >> mr. o'reilly, sir, there is no correlation of raising taxes. >> bill: i don't believe that for a second. >> and unemployment. there is none. >> bill: i don't believe that for a second. >> if you could show it to me. >> excuse me. >> bill: i will let you wrap it up, mr. rogers. >> i think you are arguing about a point here. i don't think it matters one way or the other. it's not going to make a big difference in revenue. not going to make a big difference the other way. this is just a something that you can give to get what you want out of the rest of the economy. what you need to do is, okay, go ahead and tax the rich, make everybody happy about that so we're going to give that up. and we're going to get a lot of tax savings on the other side. we are going to get some

restrictions in the budget. >> bill: i continue to believe that the federal government derives more revenue from the wealthy when the economy soars and the private marketplace needs incentives. >> we aall agree with that. >> bill: raising taxes is not incentive in the private marketplace. gentlemen, thanks again. next on the run down, ham and williams why the administration is so tone deaf on the economy. for america's wounded warriors,

>> bill: clinging to -- poor recall -- joining us now are mary katharine and juan williams. big new best seller "muzzled." juan, i asked ben stein if president obama was a positive force in the economy he said yes. mr. rogers said is he a neutral. you say? >> i think is he a true central to positive and. >> bill: tell me the positive. i need to be convinced. >> clearly, when he took office, we were in a recession. we are now that recovery that's very fragile and faltering. >> bill: higher than it was when he took over. >> he has been creating jobs since he has been in office. >> hold it. if he has been creating jobs while he has been in office. why is employment 2 percentage

points higher than when he took over? >> well, because what happened was we had a tremendous hole to dig out of. >> bill: no, no, no. you just said he created jobs since he has been in office but 2 percentage points higher in the unemployment rate. math doesn't add up. >> yes, it does. because we haven't created enough jobs. >> bill: no, no, no. he was creating jobs. the unemployment rate would have gone down 2%. mary katharine is, this fuzzy map or voodoo economics? am i not grasping juan's calculations properly. >> no. i think it's pretty clear that unemployment is higher. not only that what american people are sense something we have paid a trillion dollars for it to go up. >> bill: for unemployment to go up. what kind of a good deal is that. >> representative peter fazio ally liberal guy said last week the slogan the idea of the campaign it could have been worse is a hard thing to sell. that's the probable is he having. >> bill: that's like saying, look, the kansas city royals could be worse. >> i know.

>> bill: come on. they are not winning. they are getting pounded it could be worse though. we could win no games. come on, juan. this is a crazy argument. >> no, it's not. >> it's insane. >> it's a perfect story. >> bill: go ahead, mary katharine. >> there is a perfect story out of seattle reported by local seattle tv news last week about the 20 million grant they got as part of the green jobs stimulus. supposed to get 2,000 green jobs. 20 million bucks, 14 jobs, handful of homes. >> bill: can i see people at home juan why bothering just send them the money. if you send them the money it would be better than trying to create these jobs that don't come. >> i want you and mary katharine to get out of margaritaville and let's come back to reality. >> bill: i many in realty. >> reality is at the moment we have economy not in good shape. americans are saying they wish the economy was much better. they wish the president could do something right now to create

jobs, to get us on a growth path. the president doesn't have any magic bullet and people are disappointed. >> bill: he doesn't have any plan at all, juan. the only plan he has is to spend more money. let's double down on what didn't work. that's your plan, too juan. double down on what didn't work. let's bring in more 200 hitters. don't have enough. bring in more 200 hitters. >> how you can say it didn't work, bill when in fact we are no longer in a recession we are in a recovery. >> bill: you can't make it that's like saying look, the confederates lost at gettysburg they lost the battle b and e but they would have lost a lot worse. come on, it's instain to -- insane to make that argument. >> you talk to economists, i'm talking about conservative economists hank paulson, what are they saying, bill? we need to spend more money. we need. >> bill: we don't have any money, juan. we don't have any money to spend. >> taxes on the very rich. there is no reason with a we

shouldn't tax the rich if you are so concerned about there aren't enough rich to tax. they don't exist unless you tax all their money; all right mary katharine. >> what americans are saying according to polls they disprove of president obama's handling of the economy in particular at 70 something percent. ill. >> bill: it didn't work. >> he is proposing more stimulus. maybe a new federal department because that will work real well. here is the deal he can't put that on paper as a actual plan it has to be a vision that the cbo can't score. >> bill: the president won't commit to slashing the budget. that drives the deficit up. that's why we got downgraded. number two, he won't do what reagan did, cut taxes, try to stimulate the private sector. he still believes the public sector can lead to jobs. that's what it is. now, juan, aren't i right when i say look, it's better for barack obama to go on vacation. it's better for him to go boggle

bowling or go barbecue. just get him out of way for a few weeks. calm things down. because as i said every time he makes a speech the stock market goes down 200 points. isn't it better that he goes and has fun? >> what did you hear from mr. rogers and mr. stein? they both said to you no. >> bill: they said no but can i prove it? >> positive or in influence. you keep beating him up. >> bill: i'm not beating him up. i'm just saying it didn't work. i'm not beating up the kansas city royals. i like their logo, right? but they are not winning. >> they are not winning. well, america -- check this out. you keep talking about obama because i know people want to beat him up. the economy is not winning and this president is trying. support this or anyone else. >> beating up more than anyone who makes more than 100,000 bucks who creates a job. >> bill: charlie sheen and i have something in common winning, not winning here. >> you are much better than charlie. >> bill: i hope so. god i hope so.

directly ahead why did the qaddafi regime collapse so suddenly, dramatic story about the events in libya. jesse waters travels to martha's vineyard to see how the vacation is going down with the folks there. back in a moment.

>> bill: impact segment tonight. the libyan action has been going on since last fullback. the regime pretty much collapsed it was an all of the sudden thing. what happened there. joining us now in from us citizen texas, reba, the director of analysis for stratfor.com. i was surprised. i mean, this has been going on and going on and going on and all of a sudden two days tripoli falls. what's behind that? >> well, we knew from the beginning when this military campaign began in mid martha the

gather regime was not going to fall purely by an air campaign. something else had to happen to actually propel this advance ward into the capital. we were watching very carefully as the participating nato countries particularly u.k. and france had a lot of political pressure rising on them and then there was a decision made to insert special operations forces. one thing to bear in mind is that the lebles did not pull it off on their own it didn't magically happen in two weeks. >> you say that the british and the french inserted special operations, military forces to help the rebels. did the united states send any special forces in there as well? >> you know, that's very unclear, bill, at this point. >> bill: we hear that cia people are on the ground. we hear there are cia people on the ground. have you heard that? >> naturally, there is, of course, a concerted effort to collect the intel needed to actually go into tribunely --

tripoli to target qaddafi forces. that's what what we saw when those forces got into tripoli snatching saif son. >> bill: we can assume that france, the u.k., and america are on the ground, have been on the ground for a while, training the rebels, arming them. their arms are much better than they had been, and also running ops to find out where certain selected people are to get them or kill them or whatever. and it worked. now, it was a lot of controversy in the united states in the beginning. president obama should not have gone in at all or should have taken a lead roll. did -- lead role. did the united states do the right thing in letting nato drive this operation. >> remember, that the united states is not the eager one to engage in this operation it was really france and the u.k. that was pushing this and the u.s. was integral to the nato operation itself given the command and control it has in

the alliance overall. so, you know, of course the u.s. had to play a role in this as other nato countries were propelling this forward. this isn't over yet there are still very big questions moving forward as to what would happen should the regimes fall and whether qaddafi's forces i'm not going to ask her you would assume with a structure on the ground that the big three, france, the u.k., and the united states would impose some semblance of discipline or whoever is going to take over in tripoli. we had a lot of politicians, boehner, burton, republicans. we had coverage and and -- kucinich and lugar against the action. i said this from the beginning qaddafi gone is an overall plus for the entire world. syria comes under more pressure to get rid of this thug assad, correct? >> yes. but syria is a very complicated

situation compared to libya. you have syria emerging as more and more of a proxy ground between the saudis and the turks on bun side and the iranians on the other. you have huge sectarian fischers in play. and to see regime change in syria, you would first need to see large scale defections amongst the whites and military in the regime itself. we haven't seen that yet. >> bill: folks in syria, the qaddafi fall has got to enbolden them. >> of course, the opposition on the street. the elo whmplet -- it's not going to be easy for the regime. >> bill: i don't know about intense. qaddafi was a brutal dictator. if he is still alive, they will get him, i hope, and try him in the hague. also, thanks very much. as always, we appreciate it plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. bernie goldberg on big shootout between congressman rangle and

bill o'reilly weekdays with bernie segment. new study by the media research center conservative group said there is a huge disparity in the mainstream media using the words conservative and liberal as descriptions. also the big rangle ingraham shootout last week. joining us from north carolina bernard goldberg.com

mr. goldberg. what is the point of the study? >> the study found that journalists at abc, nbc, and cbs identified conservatives in their stories 20 times more often than they identified liberals they might say jo blow a conservative, 20 times more often than they said joe smith a liberal. this is like when the government puts warning labels on cigarettes that say cigarettes cause cancer this is a media warning label conservatives are dangerous to your mental health. it's the same thing. this happened before, bill. in american journalism up until really about the 1960's. and it involved race and crime. the only time journalists would identify race in a crime story is if the criminal was black. they would say jobbie smith, a black man was arrested last night for whatever. if johnny smith was white they would simply say johnny smith

was arrested last night for breaking into a liquor store the reason they identified black people is that black people were seen out of mainstream as alien and even as dangerous. is nothing is the same as race i readily acknowledge that this is pretty similar. the reason they identify conservatives is because to liberal journalists, conservatives are out of the mainstream are alien and their views are dangerous. but liberals, bill, they are the very essence. >> bill: i remember. >> of mainstream. both bernie and i have discussed this before. there was a reuters review i think in one of my books, i can't even remember which one it was where in the article the body of the piece that maybe ran 250 words they named me as a conservative three times. in case you missed it the first two times. they couldn't stop doing it but i think it's more of an anittany lionance, it's an annoyance many. >> no. >> bill: let me make my point. when a conservative is

successful. or gaining traction with the folks, the liberal media becomes very annoyed and says don't you realize to themselves, don't you realize this is a conservative so i have to tell you that. over and over and over. but they don't do that on the left. yeah. but it's more than an annoyance because it's exhibit a proving beyond any doubt that there is a liberal bias in the media and, if they don't deal with this problem, they will never solve the problem of bias in the media. >> bill: they are never going to solve it anyway. you know that. it's not going to happen that's why the fox news channel is here to give a little balance. last week, i was out and swimming in the ocean and i heard this thunder clap i thought it was the weather but it was the factor people are like texting me you have got to watch your own show, you idiot where are you? i said i'm under water but i will watch the 11:00. here is rangle and laura

ingraham. roll the tape. >> let me say this that bill o'reilly told me he had a secret weapon. i didn't know it was just a pretty girl that he would bring here. >> that's very condescending sir. >> i i'm sorry i said you were attractive i withdraw that completely. >> i was going to make a joke about the condo and the dominican republic and i didn't make it out of due respect for you. >> bill: i got a lot of ink. what do you think? >> if the question the implicit question is did charlie rangel cross the line? i want to be very clear on this. a big fat emphatic no. when did we become such sissies that something like this becomes a big deal? it's clear lay generational thing. younger guy wouldn't have said it let me say something else, bill. no spin? let me say something else here. laura is lucky that that's all he said about her. because there ought to be a roll rule on these shows. the host asks the question and shuts the hell up.

>> bill: you can't do that, bernie. because i do that as well. >> you just did what i said. >> bill: because i have to challenge. >> and then let the guest answer it. you know what? charlie rangel was clearly frustrated. and he said that i repeat big deal. >> bill: two things. it wasn't the pretty girl thing that i think was -- and i think rangle was wrong in saying it. it was just a pretty girl. just is the key word there. the second thing is, you have to interrupt when you ask a question, bernie, you know, this because many times the question isn't answered. the person will deflect and go into a totally different area or they will lie or say something that isn't true. so as a host have to do it? >> are you alleging right here right now on your program that charlie rangel lied? >> no, absolutely not. i'm giving a general pressroom

premmer why the question. the interview should ask a question and step back and allow an answer that is dishonest or a dance? i say no, i'm not wasting people's time. >> was that dishonest or a dance you? are not making that statement you are not saying that charlie rangel was either dishonest or dancing around. look, come on. let's go behind the scenes. a lot of times the hosts have an agenda. and the person starts to answer the question. but they want to make a speech. people at home are tired of that. i get as much email on that as anything else. they say come on. let the guest answer a question. you are right. >> bill: what if the guest is making a speech? >> if the guest is dishonest you should interrupt. >> bill: that's right. filibustering. filibustering. you have to. so, look, i'm not going to take -- look, number one, i like rangle. sea stand up guy. he did some bad things with his taxes. he paid a price for it. >> i'm with him on this one. i like laura because i think

laura is feisty and laura doesn't want any bs on the program and she is in charge when she is here. i think it was the just the pretty girl. just the pretty girl. the only reason look the only reason you are analyst for the factor you are just a pretty face. >> that's true. >> bill: did you just say that's true. >> both statements are true. i'm just a pretty face and have nothing upstairs. i admit that. >> bill: bernie goldberg breaking news tonight, ladies and gentlemen. maxine waters attacking the tea party in a theological way. and the first miller-o'reilly live exposition. we will show you a bit of that check is next.

>> bill: back ever the book segment tonight. reality check we begin with maxine waters a little worked up about the tea party.

>> i'm not afraid of big bad wolf. i'm not afraid of anybody. this is a tough day. you can't be intimidated. you can't be frightened. as far as i'm concerned, the tea party can go straight to hell. [cheers] >> bill: now, ms. waters, was that nice? there are very good people in the tea party. do you really want them to go to hell to burn for all eternity? what about the president's call for more civil rhetoric? we would like to talk but to this congresswoman. we will give you a call and we hope to see you soon. it's an hell of an opportunity so to speak. you are not afraid of me, are you. president obama said this to matt lauer in 2009. >> one nice thing about the situation i find myself in is that i will be held accountable. if i don't have this done in three years, there is there is going to be a one term
