>> bill: president obama once again saying he will cut the nation's debt on the backs of affluent and corporations. brit hume, juan williams and mary katharineham will analyze. >> the very rich are paying less in the way of taxes than the people that clean their offices. >> no spin alert warren buffet is misleading you. we will demonstrate just how he is doing that also tonight, should you let your kids watch chaz bono? and bernie goldberg on the web site attack watch.com being run by the obama campaign. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone, the factor begins right now. captions by closed captioning services >> hi, i'm be ol rye. will thanks for watching us tonight. raising revenue by punishing
8:01 pm
achievement. that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. more of same from president obama today demanding tax increase on wealthy and corporations in order to cut the enormous federal debt. >> explained by somebody who is making auto million dollars a year in the financial markets should be paying 15% on their taxes when a teacher making auto thousand dollars a year is paying more than that. paying a higher rate. they ought to have to answer for that. >> bill: well, mr. president, do i have have an answer, of course i do. number one, you are talking about long-term capital gains tax currently at 15%. but you and your pal warren buffet never say that you equate the 15% cap gains tax with the federal income tax. that is not fair. that's because capital gains tax is levied on profits from invested money that has already been taxed. let's take me, for example. i pay 35% in federal income tax.
8:02 pm
some of my take home pay is invested. and if i make some money, on the investment, the government comes right back at me for 15% of it or more if i make the profit in less than a year. so let's see, 35% plus 15% on profits, a nice return for the feds on my sweat equity. is it not? okay. let's continue, mr. president. if i lose money on my investments, a good possibility, you only allow me to deduct $3,000 a year. therefore my risk in investing is substantial. now you want to up the anti-on my winnings but you don't say how much because the stock market will go nuts if you do. with all due respect, the tax the rich deal is bogus as i will demonstrate in a moment. one more thing, mr. president, in august of 2009, you said this: >> the last thing you want to do is to raise taxes in the middle
8:03 pm
of a recession because that would suck up, take more demand out of economy and put businesses in a further hole. >> bill: correct. so let me ask you. what's changed in two years. the economy is still awful. unemployment is even higher. why have you, mr. president changed your mind about a tax increase on the affluent and business. here is the unintended cons sequence of mr. obama's revenue enhancing plan. i must tell you i want the feds to have get more revenue. i don't want to starve them as some do. we need a robust military, a good transportation system and protections all over the place. but if you tax achievement, some of the achievers are going to pack it in. again, let's take me, my corporation employ scores of people. they depend on me to do divhi so they can make a nice salary. if president obama starts taxing me more than 50% which is possible i don't know how much longer i will do this. i like my job but there comes a point when taxation becomes
8:04 pm
oppressive. is the country really entitled to half a person's income? finally, this fair share garbage has got to stop. right now taxpayers with incomes above $1 million represent just 0.2%. not 2%. .02% of all in connection with tax returns. the million-dollar babs pay 21% of all the federal income tax. fair share, mr. president? you make the call. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction, joining us from washington. fox news analyst juan williams, author of the big new book mustled, the assault on honest debate and mary katharine ham. now, juan, president obama knows aren't going to go for the increase. isn't this a campaign kickoff? the folks against the rich? that's what's going on here. >> well, you know what you? are right. i must tell you, you are right on two counts. one is, yes, this is a campaign kickoff unless you want to count the speech he gave to the joint
8:05 pm
session last week, i think this was a campaign style speech. a populist speech. but the second thing to say, bill, is, yes, most americans agree with president obama that the rich should pay their fair share. in fact, the polls are very clear on this especially when you get above $1 million. >> bill: what's share fair juan? you are making big bucks now. >> let me tell you something. >> bill: i don't want you to tell me anything. i want you to tell me what is juan williams' fair share? what is a fair share of your income to pay to state, local, and federal government? what is it? tell me now. >> well, i think a fair share is whatever. if you put me in the category of the rich, i'm very pleased to thereby if i'm truly there. >> bill: you are rich, juan. >> let me tell you something, if that's the case and i agree with warren buffet his secretary should not be paying a higher tax rate. >> bill: his secretary isn't paying a higher tax rate. is he comparing as i said juan, and you know this to be a true a capital gains tax to an income
8:06 pm
tax and you can't do that that's like comparing the atlanta falcons to the pittsburgh pirates, two different sports. i know you know that juan, you dodged my question. i will give you one more chance. what is your fair share, juan williams of your income? give me a percentage, please. >> i think it's clear that right now that percentage should be about 35%, 36%. >> bill: that's what you have got now. that's what's going on. >> that's a fair share. >> bill: so what is he talking about. >> clearly under clinton and others the percentage was much higher and you are saying somehow people who are rich are not going to invest their money in the united states and corporations. >> bill: i'm not going to buy stocks if he ups the capital gains to 40%. that would be insane. i'm not doing it? >> there is no evidence of that bill. warren buffet in his argue. makes it very clear. he has been in the investment business 60 years. never met anybody who said they're not going to invest because of the tax rate. >> bill: right here, juan. you raise that cap gains tax up above 20%. i ain't going on. mary katharine, let me ask you a
8:07 pm
personal question. what is juan's fair share? >> i'm not going to assign juan's fair share. he he pays it out to me in lunches. >> bill: you are going to chicken out and not tell me how much juan williams should be paying in taxes? >> i think that juan probably should not endure a tax hike. i don't think it's particularly great for the economy to do that look, if juan wants to pay more money as if any friend out there, he is welcome to do that. >> bill: tell me what juan's fair share is he says 25% that's what we have got now. i assume you like it now. >> mary katharine's point the rich aren't paying 35%, bill. >> bill: i am. >> wait, wait, wait. >> talking about the dividends and capital gains. >> warren buffet is welcome to pay himself a salary on which he would pay an equivalent percentage. he doesn't do it. he takes it in capital gains because he likes his 15% and he can send a check whenever he likes. >> bill: baseball team and the buffet thing.
8:08 pm
all right, now, mary katharine, you are a conservative republican person, i guess. i never ask you what you are. i don't really care. what's fair? what's fair? is 35% failure and then i get to write off some stuff. juan is right. but, juan, they make it up with other things like property taxes and this, and that. so, i'm adding the whole kit and caboodle here. go ahead, what's fair? >> here's the thing. i think what we have now actually is not fair because you get all this string pulling. you have the things like g.e. and jeffrey immelt where they can end up with no tax liability because they have the green subsidies and whatever. >> yeah. here is the thing. there is inherent corruption in that system because once you are rich and you have the money to pull the strings. >> bill: you can hire ziggy and ziggy will get you over into get the money over to switzerland. >> right. so i think what conservatives -- many conservatives and parts of the tea party and many republicans think would be a good idea would to be flatten and broaden the system so that you are having lower rates. >> bill: small consumption tax.
8:09 pm
collect the money. >> all he wants to do is raise taxes and call it tax reform. that's not tax reform. >> bill: now you agree with juan this is a campaign kickoff. barack obama and the folks against the mean, rich guys. >> and it's a distraction from what a flop that speech was last week, too. >> bill: all right. mary katharine and juan thanks very much. next on the run down, brit hume on a new cbs poll that is not good news for mr. obama. bernie goldberg on a web site called attack watch.com run by the obama campaign. coming right back. o0 c1 2 o0 [ telephone rings ] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa auto repair. gary... he hung up. ...why do we have so many a's in our name? so we're listed first in the phone book. ya know, gives us an edge. you know fedex can, give us an edge. how? well, fedex ships auto parts from factories around the world, they clear em through customs, anthat'll help us fix cars faster. great idea. you know you got a bright future

my dis best absorbedlcium in small continuous amounts. only one calcium supplement does that in one daily dose. citracal slow release... continuously releases calcium plus d for the efficient absorption my body needs. citracal. but think about your heart. 2% has over half the saturated fat of whole milk. want to cut back on fat and not compromisen taste?
8:12 pm
try smart balance fat free milk. it's what you'd expect from the folks at smart balance. >> bill: human zone segment. the lowest number barack obama has ever gotten in that poll which is usually favorable to barack obama. nevertheless, former president bill clinton thinks president obama will be reelected. >> if unemployment does not come down significantly from 9.1%, you know the history, can this president be reelected? >> yes if people believe he had a credible plan and republicans thwarted it either because they were wrong or just wanted to beat him. that's the probable they are facing. >> bill: joining us now from washington fox news senior political analyst brit hume. take it one by one. president clinton is a smart guy. he knows what we were just saying with juan williams and mary katharineham. this rather than trying to get
8:13 pm
the revenue enhancement going, barack obama knows that the house is never going to pass that so it's basically a campaign vehicle that set him up with the folks against the rich. bad guys, right? >> right. that's how president clinton aptly described it. if he can convince people he has got a good plan and the republicans thwarted it, that gives him a way, in president clinton's opinion to win the election. did you notice, bill, the long pause between the question and the answer. and you could certainly see the wheels turner in the former president's mind. >> bill: there was a reason there. >> i i don't think he thinks that this president is likely to win with these conditions, in these conditions, i think it's fair to say, most people think are going to persist. >> bill: but the fair share deal is really starting to annoy me. it really is so i ask all these people to define what the fair share is and they can't. president obama can't define what the fair share is he didn't say today well, this is what i want to tax capital gains at now. he knew as soon as he said that stock market dropped 100 points
8:14 pm
today it would drop 500 points had he put 40% capital gains on the table. he didn't say anything. i think the whole thing is bogus. i think i pay a fair share of income to the state and federal local governments. i think most people in my position agree. what would you say. >> what i would say about that, bill, there is a very good chance you and i in post of the taxes we pay are on our income and tax as ordinary income our tax rates could be much lower at no cost to the federal government if all these exclusions and loopholes were eliminated and we reformed the tax code and then we could have lower rates across the board for everybody which i think would contribute to people willing to work longer and harder hours because the dollar -- the next dollar they earn would be worth more than it is today. i think that's something that would be a huge achievement for the president, the congress and republicans in congress like the idea. something they could agree on and it would be a big deal. that's not where the president appears to be going at this point. >> bill: he doesn't seem to want to reform.
8:15 pm
>> he wants to raise taxes. >> bill: i don't know if the republicans want to reform it either. i haven't heard in any of the republican debates these people saying i have this plan to do a flat tax and this, that, and the other thing. >> >> flat tax is a little different because that's is a form of tax reform that would all but require a constitutional amendment to eliminate the income tax as we now have it. >> bill: still label it income tax but flat in the sense that things would be -- this is the percentage you pay and then you can't have this deduction, that deduction, we will phase them out. you have to phase them out. you can't do it immediately. the fair share thing is a philosophical argument. that's what it is. you know, one person's fair share is another person's, you know, you are not even close i want 70% of your income. you have no right to have that much money. you know, that's among some in the democratic party that is a prevailing wisdom. you take from people you have. you take it from them. they believe that's moral and that's right. >> yeah, they do. they believe that's the way to have a more just and more
8:16 pm
level -- more just society, more level playing field. more equitable circumstances in our country thrill and the way you eliminate some of this income inequality. to democrats and liberals is a problem. some democrats would rather have everybody equally poor than unequally rich. that's an exaggeration on my part but you do get that sense because of their obsession with inequality. if inequality is much higher level? who cares. >> bill: the polls show that most americans admire achievement. it looks like president obama under the guise of fair share wants to punish achievement in the sense that he is saying, look, it's you and me, the regular folks against the rich fat cats and the republicans who protect them. that is the campaign's nehemiah. there is no -- theme. there is no question about it. >> how many times have we heard this argument made over the years? how long has it been since it's really been effective? i would submit to you it's been a very long time.
8:17 pm
you may be able to ask people in a poll if the rich can pay more and say yes. should taxes be raised in a weak economy they will say. no it depends on how you frame the argument. i think the republicans frame the argument effectively in 2010. my sense about it is that this argument that the president is making may rally his base behind him but i don't think it's going to win over the independents who as you have pointed out are the key to the whole thing. >> bill: thanks very much. the head of the congressional black caucus says african-americans are getting hosed and should be marching on the white house. wow. then how should american parents process transgender guy chaz bono. bono. dr. keith ablow raising bono. dr. keith ablow raising do you have an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation, or afib, that's not caused by a heart valve problem? are you taking warfarin to reduce your risk of stroke caused by a clot? you should know about pradaxa.

missouri told the mc"the columbus dispatch" ideal newspaper chain that african-americans are not getting enough help from the feds, quote: bill clinton had been in the white house and failed to address the problem, we probably would be marching on the white house but there is a less volatile reaction in the cbc because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people that hate the president, quote. with us now to analyze dr. marc lamont hill who teaches at columbia university. we just got a statement from his offers saying he was taken out of context. i have been taken out of context myself thousands of times. be that as it may, what's the primary beef among african-americans vis-a-vis the white house. >> i can't speak for all african-americans one central criticism is that the president hasn't addressed a so-called black agenda the way other presidents would have to. >> bill: what does that mean? what is the black agenda? i do this for a living, i have no idea what that means. >> black agenda agenda for all sorts of folks. heal the middle class.
8:22 pm
job advancement. tax breaks sheessments are things we want to do for african-american people. >> bill: why can't we do it under one banner. why do veto separate out out. help the middle class help everybody. >> different groups have specific issues. >> bill: give me a specific african-american issue. >> you can look at any measure of social prosperity in america where the bottom and you measure social misery we are at the top. >> bill: doesn't that correlate to educational skills. >> in some things it does. when you inject help or money or resources across the board. black people still don't get access. >> bill: isn't that because of the dissolution of the family? >> oh god, bill. you are reading from that script still? >> bill: all right. now, if i'm wrong, i want you to chastise me but i'm going by the stats. 70% of african-americans babies born out of wedlock, it looks like there is a correlation there. >> correlation is to poverty now through standing at an altar. other structural issue absence of fathers in the households
8:23 pm
1967 to 2011 the prison population has gone from 250,000 to 2.5 million. >> bill: isn't that because of narcotics? >> yes. right. so we could address a so-called war on drugs which has targeted african-american people specifically. >> bill: if there is a reason for every social problem that you raise. >> right. >> bill: so what's the beef then? what do you want that isn't happening to lessen those problems? >> one, again, public policies that are targeted toward african-american communities. >> bill: like what? >> jobs bills that specifically address unemployment in the african-american community. >> bill: you want president obama to sign a jobs bill spending even more money saying, you know, the rest of you americans, if you are not black you can't get in on this. you want him to do that? >>. no one because it would be unprincipled and politically suicidal. >> bill: right. >> i'm not suggesting he ignore the rest of americans. black people are americans. if you have a targeted americans that address african-americans and poor people. >> bill: it can't be targeted to african-americans without a racial component on it. >> i'm not saying it isn't a
8:24 pm
racial opponent. doesn't have to come at the expense of everybody else it can be and not or. >> bill: how? we don't have any money. every cent he spends from now on is going to be unbelievable scrutiny. >> what a great segway that speaks to revenue hiking. instead of just trimming the deficit we need to be fiscally responsible. also raise money from people like you insanely wealthy people. >> bill: who should i send my money to you people on the street. >> i would like to you pay my fair share of taxes. >> i'm up to around 45%, 50%. >> you also have more money than god. don't say it doesn't make a difference. >> bill: i don't have more money than god. it doesn't matter what i have because i earned it. >> yes. we all earn it. >> bill: you don't have a right to. >> we all work hard. >> bill: you and the african-american community or the white community or the indian community, native american community don't have a right to my earnings. you don't have that right. >> the last time i checked, the way america functions is we all pay taxes. >> bill: and i do, through the
8:25 pm
after. roof. >> the tax structure certain people pay more. >> bill: so say -- you are taking about half of my money now. say you take 60%, 70%, where does that go? >> that speaks to the other part on this. not just about taking more money. because you don't want to throw more money after bad. >> bill: do you want my shirt? my socks? what do you want. >> no. definitely don't want your socks. social programming. >> bill: okay. look, get 60%, 70% of of a opportunity rich people's money where does it go? where do you channel it? >> first, let me say to the record i shouldn't say we should take 70% of people's money that will be in the blogs tomorrow. >> bill: all right. no blogs. >> however we know what works, bill, we know early childhood education works. >> bill: we have that. >> we need tox pansd that. >> bill: expand it? >> early literacy programs work. mentoring programs work. >> bill: we have that. >> not enough. if people pay their fair share perhaps it would be. doesn't require money the vision
8:26 pm
bill billing the stat was something like 10 trillion more than that since lyndon johnson's poverty program 60 until now. poverty rate only dropped 3%. so i don't know if it's ever going to be enough. because, look, you are a smart guy. i wouldn't have you on if you weren't. you could not in the five minutes allotted to you tell me exactly what the african-american community needs to be more prosperous. you could not do it? >> the range of issues. health care, housing, education. >> health care, what does that mean. >> you don't know what health care means? >> bill: do you want a doctor come to every african-american house. >> americans need health care. certain problems african-american problems. health care, housing, education, so forth. we are disproportionately affected by these things. >> bill: think about it and come back in a couple of weeks and give my audience and me specific things, when you say health care, looking around like what are you talking about. >> that's because they don't have any. that's why they are looking around for it. >> bill: they don't have any. they don't have enough money to buy it or don't care. >> comes back to paying your fair share.
8:27 pm

bell bill personal story segment. the daughter of cher and sony bono had a sex change. ablow wrote quote i advised parents not to watch episodes in which chaz appears unquote. that has raised ire of some including megyn kelly. dr. ablow joins us from boston. what is the objection? you don't want the parents to
8:31 pm
let their kids watch mr. owe bono, why? >> well, mr. bono is doing more than dancing. is he on a campaign to mainstream transagain derism. i have to care more about america's kids as much as i do about my own kids. here is the thing. we know, bill, people model their behavior after one another. we wouldn't invite people with anorexia to go on fashion shows and talk about how wonderful they feel now that they are thinner and how they want more liposuction. this is an exact parallel. we have somebody who is not a man asserting that he is a man. and the bottom line is, that this can kindle. people who are having trouble with their identities, adolescents, tom boys. boys who are afilm incident in into thinking maybe i'm not just those things, maybe i should go the whole way. after all, look at chaz getting a standing ovation after standing ovation. >> bill: if chaz bono is happy
8:32 pm
with what he has done, if he is a happier guy, i don't know him at all so i don't know whether he is or isn't. i'm sure he would say he is what's wrong you? are an american, you can choose now with medical science to do a lot of different things. you have the right to do it legally. so what's wrong with him doing it? >> well, first of all, him doing it is different than then coming to me or my children or you and saying i want you to agree with me. i'm a man, right? but he is making. >> bill: is he making an argument that what he did isn't wrong. do you really believe that he is promoting and saying to the kids, hey, if you are confused, you should do what i did? >> of course he is. >> bill: yeah? >> he wrote a book to that effect. he actually called brad pitt's -- he asked to speak with brad pitt's daughter, shyla, because she dresses like a tom boy and said i could be of use to her. for what could you be of use, chaz? to convince her that when she develops breasts she should cut
8:33 pm
them off? >> bill: i think that's pretty harsh you don't know why he wanted to talk to her. >> why is that harsh? >> bill: i'm not sure he is as militant as you are proper at ing him. i could be wrong. i don't know the man. let's go to the wider question. here you have a very high profile guy who did what he did, all right? and, you are right, it's in the public square. but with the secular country in which we live and with the media championing all kinds of alternative lifestyles and you know they do. every single day. >> sure. >> bill: i think this might be a positive for parents to discuss this with their children, to say look at this guy here is what dr. keith ablow says. the kids aren't going to get away from it not with being the way the media is. they are not going to get away with it? >> if that's what you want, open the dsm 4 our diagnostic manual
8:34 pm
take the hair win dependent people put them on tv with drug pair fer nailial people and see how happy they are. you won't see chaz bono saying. this people transgendered and take massive doses of hormones have 50% higher mortality race than the general population. >> bill: basing your information on the fact that what mr. bono did is not healthy. >> correct. i am with paul mchue with whom i studied who shut down the sexual reassignment clinic at johns hopkins saying there is no evidence this helps people and many, many, many academic follow suit. >> bill: that's a different thing. okay. now, you resigned today from the american psychiatric association because they disagree with you, correct? >> look, i can't -- i have supported them. i have written books that explain psychiatric thinking on behalf of the american psychiatric press. one of my mentors was the president of the american psychiatric association.
8:35 pm
the bottom line is when you have volume after volume coming out where they are taking diagnoses out, putting new diagnoses in, what kind of medicine is this? a group that supports obama care. a group that can literally say, hey, i'm not going to take your call, doctor, because there is no evidence that watching this fellow on tv can hurt anyone. guess what? there is no evidence on the other side either. so, no, i'm out. >> bill: your primary objection is not moral. it's not social. it's medical. you believe that this transgendered stuff is harmful physically to the people who undergo it? >> it's both, bill. i believe it's medically not indicated but i also believe that people model their behavior after others and this is ill advised behavior and that celebrating someone who is performing that behavior is a mistake and people shouldn't watch. >> bill: all right, doctor. thanks so much. we appreciate it. when we come right back, bernie goldberg on obama campaign web site called attack watch.com.

web site where you people at home can report all this nasty stuff people say about me that isn't true. if you ever tried that, they would have to change the name of the show from the o'reilly factor to the owe wienie factor. >> bill: owe whining factor. i have to be honest i would like to do it. >> you don't want to do it. >> bill: i wouldn't do it. president launching re-election campaign who does something like this. this doesn't exude confidence. this exudes weakness. >> what about contracting the record though, bernie. correcting the record for slams and smears that aren't true? >> well, you know, correcting the record is fine. but to get people to go to a web site and, by the way, here is what is wrong with it. i will tell you exactly how they phrase it they say the web
8:41 pm
site -- this is hilarious, will stop these attacks before they start. before they start? >> bill: then you couldn't have a web site. there would be nothing on it. >> and let me tell what you this web site is really about. let me tell what you it is really about. this is a charade. you could punch a button on the web site. you can click on something that says make a donation. this is about money also they get your email address. everybody who reports to this web site the way we used to -- kids used to report to the junior high school hall monitor, bill just said something bad about me, you know. everybody who reports can bet they are going to get an email down the road saying would you like to contribute to barack obama's re-election campaign? >> bill: i got it we are not taking it really seriously. i have never even gone there'm glad you did. you can do these things and i don't have to. >> are you going to set up like a web site like this you say?

>> bill: i may the o winier factor or something like that. zachariah is a commentator on cnn and writes in one of the news magazines as well. he interviews jeffrey immelt who, you know, big controversial guy now. the ceo of g.e. because he is in charge of the president's job planning thing and he is shipping jobs over to china and india. roll the tape. >> sitting on piles of cash and people say you are opening businesses in china, you are hiring people in china, but you are not hiring. >> we're hiring 15,000 people in the united states this year. you know, we are investing in the u.s. but we're also investing in china. we're also investing in india. look, fareed, more than 60% of the company is in the united states. 70% of my -- iish all my customers were in chicago, really, i do. >> bill: nice slide of hand there. not about the customers, jeff, it's where you make the stuff. so, fareed, he wasn't really challenging too hard, was he? >> you want to know why?
8:43 pm
>> bill: yes, i do. >> because immelt, we know, is the presidential advisor. but so is fareed zacharia. he advises the president person to person face to face on foreign policy matters. so you have two people who are pals of barack obama sitting down talking to each other, that's not an interview. it's something else. >> bill: did zakaria make that clear before they started the interview that they were both advisors of barack obama? >> i don't believe he did. i don't believe he did. by the way, on the china matter, which you played it so i know it's important to you. >> bill: yes. >> as you know, bill, what's important to you is important to me. since jeffrey immelt, your close personal friend took over g.e. g.e. has lost 34,000 jobs in the united states. they added 25,000 overseas and
8:44 pm
now there are 36,000 more g.e. workers overseas than in the united states. which is pretty much the reverse of what it used to be. >> bill: you know that but fareed does not know that as soon as he said we are going to hire 15,000 that was the end of that a miracle happened "newsweek" magazine actually said something nice about me. it all goes back to killing lincoln, which comes out next week, a week from tomorrow. and i thought it piece was -- i very rarely do print interviews, bernie, peter has been around for a long time he did a fair and balance job, right? >> he did. i read the whole interview. i think the reason you got a fair shake is basically for one reason. peter boyer. he is smart. he is perceptive and most of all, he is a decent journalist. i don't mean a decent journalist, he is much more than a decent journalist. he is a decept guy who plays
8:45 pm
fair. >> bill: he has done a the love writing on cbs so you are aware of him. but, yeah, that's why we did it because they said boyer is going to do it and we thought he would give us a fair shot it's an interesting article. >> i would suggest that people read it because in the article you will learn that, bill, as child, actually shot lincoln.
