"the factor" begins right now. hi. i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight.

why president obama does not seem to want to solve the economic dilemma. that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. reports today say that greece is about to default on its obligations, go into bankruptcy. why? very simple. greece is an entitlement state and the government spent so much money, they can't possibly pay its debts. here in america, we have a similar situation. our government is spending so much money, we can't pay our debts either. but because the usa generates trillions of dollars in revenue, people keep lending us money. raising another ponzi scheme scenario. you remember that, right? now, we borrow, they lend. we run up more debt. ponzi scheme. you would think president obama's first priority would be to drastically cut spinning, right? get the deficit under control by eliminating expenditures the country can't afford. but as john belushi once opined, no! the president wants a balanced approach to getting the debt under control. revenue enhancement, along with a few cuts, nothing drastic,

mind you. but is the balanced approach fair, so to speak? from 2007 and 2010 when the democrats controlled congress, america added $5.2 trillion to the debt. a record setting amount in a nearly four-year time period. that's directly on nancy pelosi, harry reid, barak obama and george w. bush. democratic party embraced the spending and presidents bush and obama go along with it. finally, we the people are beginning to understand, you can't do that. you must live within your means or economic disaster will bite you. president obama wants us to believe that by taxing the rich he can begin solving the enormous economic problems we have. the government is already taxing the rich. according to the tax policy is there, the very few households making more than a million dollars a year in this country will pay an average of 29% federal income tax. households making between 50 and $75,000 will pay 15%. households making between 20 and 30,000 will pay just 6%.

even if mr. obama is successful in raising the tax rate on the wealthy, he's not going to get much money. there are about 315 million americans and just 230,000 homes bringing in more than a million bucks a year. so it's a ruse, a class warfare illusion. taxing the rich is not going to make much of a difference. what will make a difference is reforming the entire tax code to collect more money. modifying the medicaid and medicare systems, and 10% cut across the board on all government expenditures. if that would happen, america's economy would soar. money would pour in here from all over the world. unemployment would drop. business would expand and happy economic days would be here again. if the feds do not pass spending, greece is the word. an apology to frankie valli., that's a memo. reaction joining us from a rock and a hard place duo.

monica, the class warfare mantra is what president obama is going to run on. there is no question about that. we all know that. even colmes knows that. >> no. >> i think it may work. i think that there are enough 47% of all american homes don't pay any federal income tax. >> it's actually 37, 48% pay no federal income tax. >> that's a lot of people. >> but here is the flaw in the strategy, bill. the united states of america is an aspirational society. so even if you are working at a minimum wage job, you aspire to the next step and then the next step. we aspire to be the rich if we are not currently the rich. >> why does the democratic party -- that's the philosophy. why then does the democratic party continue to rack up huge numbers in the african-american communities, hispanic communities, the poorer precincts in america go democrat almost exclusively.

>> because their philosophy and the stated philosophy of this president, which he told us point-blank in 2008 when he was running when he said to joe the plumber, i any when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody. the party and this president are committed wealth redistributionists. >> that's where they're going to run. you say it's not going to work. >> like your talking about the african-american communities and some others benefits from that, disproportionately to everybody else. but it is a fundamentally anti-american proposition. >> philosophically -- >> because you're taking away the element of self-reliance. >> you haven't convinced me it's not going to work. >> politically it might work, with certain communities. >> that's what he's banking on. >> no, you're limiting it just to his base. >> no, i want the numbers. >> in the more broad electate, the independents and others, forget it. >> is it going to work? >> yes. i tell you why. first of all, he is not playing class warfare. he's fighting against their class warfare. he's fighting against class

warfare on the other side, the republicans. the conservatives playing class warfare using the wealthy as their people they're protecting and hurting the poor. >> we already gave you the statistic that the wealthy paid far more taxes. >> 47% who don't pay taxes. some slip through loopholes. >> how many you think that is? >> many paying other kinds -- >> i studied general electric, how many? >> you have to think about mlg. >> you're going to defend them? are you going to defend them? >> it's like niagara fall, slow lie i turn. >> are you going to defend them? >> you explode when you say it. >> the fourth time. are you going to -- >> i'm not even here to talk about g.e. i'm here to talk about -- >> then don't bring it up. you brought it up. >> you brought up g.e., bill. not me. >> so it's going to work, you say? >> let me give you actual hard numbers. cnn poll and gallup poll both show that his particular ideas are appeal to go independents hugely overall. >> why do all the polls say

independents turned against him? >> independents turned against him overall. if you ask people and say do you like his policies, yes or no? when the individual policy, 70%, let me give you actual numbers of independents favor providing federal money to state governments. 63% of independents favor increasing federal spending to building roads and bridges. 53% favor -- >> so you say class warfare is going to work. >> if him fighting class warfare will work. >> we have the evidence for that. that is the lack of support for the massive redistributionist programs called obamacare. you have 60% of the american people who want that thing repealed. why? because they understand that health care was never a bad health care. health care under this president, bad democrat congress, redistributing the wealth. >> let me move on. colmes, you know the greece situation. you following that? >> yes. >> it's in europe. you know where it is? you take a left at italy and there you go.

those people are out of the game. out of the game right now. they'll have to be bailed out by other countries. united states, the reason we're not greece is because we still can generate money and greece can't. nobody is going to invest in greece. not even zorba. they live in cypress. so i'm just amazed that you don't see the policies that you yourself personally have championed in the last 15 years on this network failed so dismally. >> what you and others don't see, conservatives don't see that trickle down doesn't work. doing things to help the rich -- >> your policies failed. >> but so have reagan policies. >> so have reagan policies. so i, alan colmes failed and so did reagan. >> i have not failed in my analysis. >> you championed these. >> we'd be more progressive were it not for the blue dog democrats. >> we should have had more spending. >> we should have more spending, more investment, more stimulus. >> i don't know what to say. >> i know.

neither do i. welcome to my world, o'reilley. great example, it's the cautionary tale for the united states. to put it in perspective, the greg debt to gdp ratio is 150%. you know where we are? total u.s. debt, everything, 100% of gdp. >> we're creeping up to greece. >> we don't seriously cut to spending -- >> democrats don't want -- >> capitalistic society, we invest in capitalism, the money comes back to us. a bigger stimulus would have done it. >> i don't know. your track record over 15 years, i don't know if you can stand on that. >> next on the rundown, will this week's republican debate be the last stand for michelle bachman? we'll talk with her former campaign manager. and will walgreen's rehire a pharmacist it fired because he protectd himself against armed robbers? coming right back.

[ giggles ] >> bill: impact segment, the gop debate on thursday sponsored by fox and google, very important for congresswoman michelle bachman. she has lost some staff and her comments about the hpv vaccine that governor rick perry mandated in texas caused controversy. mrs. bachman's former campaign manager, ed rollins is here. the latest poll, i want to put it up, is not good news for michelle bachman at all. this is a usa today gallup.

good poll. historically good poll, small sample, 439 republicans, republican leaners. romney, 7. ron paul, 13. and that's a very hard core vote, 13. but michelle bachman sliding all the way down to 5%. why do you think she slid? >> i think rick perry. the bottom line here is she's the best candidate in this field. i watched a lot of candidates over my 40 years in politics. she's an enormous candidate and very, very strong on the stump. she won the straw poll which no one expected her to do. she's a great retail politics. our game plan was always to win iowa. >> bill: then why, if she's so good and i agree with you, i've always said she waged very, very good campaign. her personally. then why did perry destroy her support? she's down more than 50%. >> it's not over yet. i think when you look at a national poll, it basically indicates people from all over the country. when you throw texas into a national poll, it's 10% of the

population. so a guy that's from texas, obviously has a big impact. i'm not saying perry is not a strong candidate. i'm just telling you michelle, our strategy was always for her to win iowa. win the iowa caucus. she didn't expect to win the straw poll. in seven weeks she came in and won. what we did in the straw poll is built an enormous organization that's still there. my sense is she's going to be very competitive. >> bill: in iowa, though? >> iowa is important because it basically will narrow down the field and give her an opportunity as it did huckabee. >> bill: you say she still has a chance. >> i'm saying she can win iowa. she wins iowa, she's still in this race. since 1980, whoever wins two out of the three, south carolina, new hampshire, iowa, goes on. >> bill: that's interesting because romney a lock in new hampshire. he's a hometown guy and he'll get that. and south carolina is a game breaker. so when you see the whole field here and another debate on thursday, as i mentioned, you say that perry right now and romney are the two guys that are

going to fight it out. in the national poll, perry doesn't defeat barak obama. but romney does. what does that tell you? >> it tells that you perry has great support among the republican base, the conservative, tea party, evangelical. basically romney has an ability to track independent voters in a general election. but i go back to the point, no poll today matters. four years ago, rudy guiliani was leading in all 50 states. didn't get a delegate. leading in every single state, every national poll. fred thompson jumped into the race. he was leading in every single poll. john mccain's campaign had self-destructed. he was very much like michelle down to five, 10, the maximum. he went on, took new hampshire, won that. mike huckabee -- >> bill: it's a different time. >> no, why is it a different time? >> bill: i'll tell you why. because john mccain had basically the background and the credibility to run for president, whereas michelle and rick perry have to prove

themselves. mccain really did. it was a preference. and this time the anti-obama feeling is so huge that a lot of people just looking for somebody who can beat him. >> absolutely. >> bill: they'll put their ideology on the shelf for a little while. the vaccine comments, did that help or hurt michelle bachman? >> they were very good in the debate when she attacked him on executive overreach and basically doing something he shouldn't have done with his cronies. obviously she stumbled at the next day when she talked about the vaccine. but at the end of the day, she's a great debater. >> bill: but i want to stay on the vaccine because that's gotting a lot of turns currency with the comedians. overall, help her or hurt her? >> it hurts her at this point in time, but she'll be back debating tentatively on thursday night. >> bill: okay. you think people will forget that? >> absolutely. >> bill: but michelle bachman on thursday has to dominate that field, i would think. >> she has the capacity to do that. she dominated the first debate. she dominated the iowa debate.

people forget that pawlenty was viewed by the washingtonians as the alternative to romney. she knocked him on his tail. >> bill: do you think he endorsed him because they're both from minnesota? >> i think there was a conservative moderate battle over the years. she was the conservative leader in the assembly. >> bill: bad blood between them? >> i don't think bad blood. i think there is an ideological. at the end of the day, she was the conservative leader in the assembly and the congress. >> bill: does the congresswoman still call you for advice? >> she does. talked a little while ago. >> bill: you take the calls? >> absolutely. i love her. at the end of the day, i quit because i'm 68 years old. i've been doing this since 1968 was my first presidential campaign. i'm an old man. i don't need to basically be working 14 hour days. i helped put her campaign together. great people in her campaign. she is a wonderful campaigner. i love her dearly. >> bill: thank you very much. nice to see you. ahead, a congressman apologizes to muslim americans. what for? we'll find out.

>> bill: speaking before the american islamic college conference in chicago over the weekend, congressman mike quigley of illinois apologized to muslim americans. you have my pledge to fight them and >> bill: wow. the question, what discrimination? mr. quigley unavailable this evening, with you joining us now from chicago, executive director of care in chicago.

he was at the event on saturday. look, i don't want to be a wise guy here. after 9-11, there were americans who looked askance at anybody who was a muslim. okay. but the stats don't back up mr. quigley's assertion that there is an institutional bias against muslim americans. there is severally no statistics, none, that demonstrate that. am i wrong? >> you're wrong in several ways. first of all, i think one would have to be living under a rock with all due respect, not to notice the uptick we're seeing in this country in terms of both islam aphobic remarks from people in power, not just people on the street. >> bill: you want to cite an example? >> well, yeah. i mean, one example is pretty much everything that comes out of the mouths of representative allen west and when your producer called me to be on the show, i was rather surprised that it was to react to someone

expressing sympathy against islamaphobia. another representative says day in and day out about muslims. >> bill: did west say anything that you can quote to us, because i'm not real familiar? >> only that islam is the enemy and that islam is not a religion. >> bill: okay. you may remember that i said on "the view" that muslims attacked us on 9-11. all right? and then that caused all kinds of controversy, as joy behar and whoopie goldberg walked off the set. at the time i was kind of surprised because at the time i thought everyone knows i was referring to jihaddists, but they were all muslims. but i don't consider myself anti-muslim. i've been to many muslim countries. always enjoyed myself there. admire the culture. i'm not anti-muslim. but i guess you would think that i would be? >> actually, bill, this may surprise you, but i don't. i've heard your positions. i disagree with many of them, but i don't regard you as an

anti-muslim individual. >> bill: okay. >> there are people, unfortunately, in government even, in congress, i think people like michelle bachman, newt gingrich in the past, we have now representative allen west, peter king, that made statements that would reasonably make them anti-muslim. there are stats contrary to what you said. >> bill: i'm not sure about that. look, i'll grant you this, that maybe those people have said things that you don't agree with and you don't like and you took personally. but i know all three of those individuals and i don't think they're anti-muslim. just me. now, the stats are interesting. this is hate crimes. anti-islamic hate crimes in 2009, last stats available, 107. compared to antiblack hate crimes, 2284. anti-jewish, 931. so it seems the jewish americans have much more of a beef than muslim americans. do they not? >> there are many con founding factors. jews have been in this country longer as a community and

learned to deal with anti-semitism more system athlete by reporting it. in our case, there are many immigrants who comprise the american muslim community who are afraid to speak out against the hatred or bigotry. >> bill: how would you know that there are those times if they're afraid to speak out? how would you know that there are those crimes then? i'm not saying there aren't. you might be right, but you couldn't know. >> well, there are different things we look at. we have thousands of cases of discrimination. we've dealt within our own organization alone about employment discrimination. actually the eeoc has reported that the complaints they received about anti-muslim discrimination in the workplace has been on the rise five years in a row. and when you look on the other side, you look at stats and polls that come out, for example, usa today gallup poll, the reports that 39% of americans said they favored requiring muslims, including american citizens, to carry special identification, a time

poll showed one third of americans believed that muslims should be barred from running for president the united states. american citizens who otherwise would qualify. >> bill: all right. those are stats to bolster your argument. but i will point to the fact that in the economic realm, muslim americans doing pretty well. doing pretty well. >> i would live in america more than anywhere else. but we have an issue and we need to deal with this issue. >> bill: that's why we have you on the program, then people can make up their own mind and we don't want anybody to be anti-muslim. thank you for coming on. as "the factor" moves along, jesse watters and maxine waters together for the first time, kind of. we'll show you what happened. also, will walgreen's hire back a pharmacist it fired for defending himself against robbers who shot at him? we have an update. we hope you stay tuned for those reports.

>> bill: tonight as we told you in the talking points memo, in order to solve any complex problem, you first have to take tough action to get the situation under control. he can't be discussing amnesty for illegal aliens until you stop millions of people without portfolio. and you shouldn't threaten to raise taxes unless you cut taxes first to get debt under control. why doesn't the democratic party recognize this? with us, mark stein, author of the book "after america, get ready for armageddon." are you saying it's all over, that we just can't come back? >> i'm saying it's pretty much over unless we get this stuff under control by mid decade. >> bill: so there is an unless? >> it's mid decade. >> bill: because beck, he's digging the bunker out. >> i know. loading up on ammunition. >> bill: and there are a lot of people who do believe that america is in decline and isn't

coming back. you have the point to one factor, pardon the pun, that is driving america down. what would it be? >> the single factor is the spending. we basically eluded the future to bribe the present and we're doing it on such a scale that we're unlikely to have is a future. by mid decade, american taxpayers will be covering the entire cost of the chinese military. we're covering about 80% of the cost just in the interest on the debt. >> bill: whatever we send money over there, they can finance their military? >> yeah. >> bill: all right. i said pretty much that in the talking points memo. did you see that? >> yeah. i did see that. i think just to pick up on one thing in that, bill, is how when you compared us with greece, greece used to be more disciplined because they don't print its own currency. so it can't do quantititive easing. right now, 70% of treasury debt is being bought by the federal

reserve. in other words, america's left hand is issuing debt to its right hand. >> bill: that's why the dollar is weakening all over the world, because people are losing confidence. but it all comes back to what you said, the government is spending far more money than it can take in. >> right. >> bill: i'm a simple man, you know that. you're a smart guy. write a smart guy. i'm simple and trying to grasp. but i have grasped this, i do understand and i think most of my viewers understand as well, why doesn't alan colmes, liberal americans, the democratic party, strip away the ideology, see the danger that you define in your book? >> because they genuinely think that rich guys like you and warren buffet and me and everyone else somehow wear keeping all this money in a bond somewhere. when obama said to joe the plumber, i think it's better when you can spread the wealth around, the point he's missing is that you have to earn the wealth before you can spread it around. >> bill: why? why do you have to earn it?

in places like cuba, china, they take it away from you. >> right. and at a certain point, you've taken away the future. we are running out. the critical issue here is that you can't -- if you're spending $4 trillion every year but only taking in $2 trillion, you can't close that gap. there is no way. you can tax warren buffet and you and me and everyone else -- >> bill: we made that point. it's only 200,000 making over a million households. but you got barak obama, you got timothy geithner, you got all of these brainy acs. they've got to know what you're saying is absolutely true. >> i don't think so. >> bill: they have to know! it's on paper! >> i think here is the issue, that they don't understand that we're now get to go the stage where we've not only outspent america's ability to fund american government, but outspent the planners. the official figures of these budget projections require the rest of the planet to be willing

to sink a fifth of its gdp into u.s. treasury debt. >> bill: just to float -- you're making my point for me. you know that. i know that. it's on paper. you see it. >> right. >> bill: you're telling me summers and geithner and obama don't see that? >> no, because the sane man would not stand in front of his pointer and immediately a-- >> bill: that's a reelection play. >> but another -- the fact that he can get away -- the fact that we spent the summer talking about the debt ceiling debate, knuckle teeth show down to carve out $7 billion of savings from the 2012 budget, that's what america borrows every 35 hours, and then the president in 20 minutes proposes another half trillion dollars in spending. that's the disease of america! that's why the world knows we're not capable of serious cost correction. >> bill: some of my viewers believe obama wants to tank the

economy on purpose, so they can rebuild a socialistic system. >> i think what he wants is to establish as the baseline for washington federal spending 25% gdp, which means the way approaching a kind of scandinavian level of government. you can't turn america into a large sweden. you can do it in small northern european countries. >> bill: you can't do it with 315 million. very interesting book. thanks very much. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> bill: we come right back, is it legal on the sea world killer whale lawsuit and whether walgreen's will hire back a pharmacist dismissed because he defended himself against armed robbers who were shooting eight eight -- at him. with the strains of good bacteria to help balance your colon. you had me at "probiotic."

walgreen's fires a pharmacist who had a license to carry a pistol. he was carrying in the store when these two guys came in and one of them shot at him during annealed robbery. the guy shot back. nobody was hit. but walgreen's fired the pharmacist. okay? now, the pharmacist's lawyer says we're going to sue for wrongful termination. >> right. >> bill: and the walgreen's ceo, do we have his picture there? no, that's the pharmacist. he says you were wrong to fire me. there is gregory. he's unrepentant, this guy. he says it's our policy that you can not carry a gun if you're an employee of walgreen's no matter what. jack the ripper could be coming at you. you can't have the gun on you. >> no, you're supposed to stand still and -- it was two gunmen, one specifically shot at him. the gun misfired, shot at james, so james pulls out his lawful

concealed weapon and shot back. >> bill: walgreen's says you can't have it in the first place. >> that's against their policy. >> bill: you have a legitimate point, that the guy disobeyed the rules before. he knew anything was going to happen. >> yes. jeremy hoven disobeyed the rules, violated the policy that he signed off on. absolutely. >> bill: that's beyond a reasonable doubt. >> beyond a reasonable doubt. here is the thing, in my many conversations with walgreen's, all of them down the ladder over this last week, i kept saying, wait a second. yes, he violated the policy. can't you make an exception? very narrowly tailored exception for this one guy, this one incident? and they say no. >> bill: what they should have done -- put the picture up there again. i know you'll agree with me, guilfoyle, because you know i am the voice of reason. >> always. >> bill: they should have suspended him. >> i agree. >> bill: a reprimand and say we don't want any -- but in this case, you let it go because it was so extreme, and but don't

anybody ever do it again. >> you understand the absurdity of this. i agree with you. he has a right to bear arms and a right to have a concealed weapon. there was an armed robbery at that walgreen's. >> bill: but they say you can't. >> guess what? the second he walks outside the walgreen's and he could have shot the guy. this is ridiculous. >> bill: that's why they should have had a compromise. real quick, the is going to sue. does he win is this. >> yes. >> yes. >> bill: even though the policy is there, that gregory will win? >> because it's self-defense and second amendment rights to carry a weapon. >> bill: we will follow it. thank you very much. coming right back with waters world. jesse versus maxine. we tried to get answers from congressman waters. we'll show you how that turned out. you don't want to miss it in a moment. look, every day we're using more and more energy.
