i thought, that's dangerous because jokes have a way of -- maybe this was before that and that came out, too. >> online, we continue the s s . have a great weekend. >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on. tonight. [chanting] >> whose street? our street. >> bill: the occupy wall street protesters avoid getting kicked out of a new york city park. we have two strong opinions on the group. first from glenn beck. then from geraldo rivera. >> the crowd is easy to mock. >> she said he is the most conservative candidate in the race and is he a christian. >> governor rick perry sticking up for his wife who said the governor is getting pounded because he is an outspoken christian. mike huckabee on that. >> would you like to bet me on that stat? >> i will bet you a paycheck? [ laughter ] >> bill: happy to do it. quite a shootout last night on the long-term show. we will letterman show.

>> if i win donate your paycheck to charity. [ laughter ] >> caution, you where 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. the first 1,000 days of president obama's administration that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. monday marks that anniversary. let's do a no spin assessment of the president's tenure thus far. the two most important issues are the economy and fighting terrorism. first ladder he has done well. bad guys are on the run. gitmo remains open and the number of terror plots have been foiled. both the cia and the fbi are doing excellent job. high marks for the president here. on the economic side, things remain dismal. just the facts, jack. since the president has been in office, the national debt has

increased $4.2 trillion. country now spending $4.2 billion every day more than it takes in. if that doesn't take your breath away, nothing will. so far 2.2 million jobs have been lost on mr. obama's watch. even though he added 140,000 jobs to the government payroll. nearly 3 million more americans live in poverty than they did before the president took office. 4 million bankruptcies, 2.4 million homes foreclosed. gas prices have risen more than 80%. health insurance premiums up 13%. are we all getting the picture here? the situation is urgent. president obama's strategy is two-fold. first, try to stimulate the economy by spending even more on infrastructure jobs. republicans will not okay the spending. second, the president will try to convince you, the folks, the situation would have been worse had he not spent all that money. his economic policy saved banks

and some car companies. democrats will say they spent the company from another great administration because the bush administration was so bad. now some americans are going to buy that even though none of it can be proven. the president continues to raise an astounding amount of money for his campaign. even though his job approval ration continue to fall. his personal approval, however, still around 50%. so, after 1,000 days on the job, the president is much weaker than he was when he started. but still has a fighting chance to be reelected. the president challenger will have a lot of economic ammunition but he or she should be ready for political war. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. we were hoping, hoping to bring you rick perry this evening but the governor could not work it out. this morning perry did a round of media in which he defended his wife who said yesterday that he is being attacked because of his christianity. >> well, families always take these elections probably as tough as anybody. my wife said two things yesterday. she said he is the most

conservative candidate in the race and he is a christian. i can't argue with either one of those facts. >> bill: with us now to analyze fox news guy and former presidential candidate mike huckabee. perry is like you. he is a lot like were four years ago when you were doing this. >> no. he started at the top, bill. i started at the bottom there is a great big difference. >> you were pretty successful in arkansas. >> we had a good run. four and a half years. >> bill: i wouldn't put it that way. you know what i'm talking about. you identified very, very early that you were a christian man. you know, a preacher in some sense. and perry has been in that category as well. perry's wife says that's the reason his poll numbers are coming down. do you buy that. >> no. i don't think so. his debate performances have been extremely less than spectacular. i'm being charity being. >> bill: why does his wife think it has to do with christianity. >> any time you are the family of the candidate, it hurts when you see things not going well. rick perry started at the top.

he went in and the day he appear announced he was riding the top of the polls and is he plummeting since then. repeat debate performances and the fact that he has not been able to find his footing on key issues is just made people start looking elsewhere. i have been in texas three different times this week and the interesting thing was that the buzz was not about their governor. the buzz was about herman cain. >> bill: but the reason that i think and i said this yesterday that perry has imploded is because of illegal immigration. >> bill: that's a big factor. >> how he handled the debates and what he said on illegal immigration which is not the orthodoxy of the republic party right now. >> bill: the conservatives. the conservative republics when you don't support the border fence and when you are legislating to give illegal alien tuition, instate tuition comes out of the taxpayers' pocket. >> and the hpv issue was another one. >> bill: i don't think i could be wrong on. this i think you are on this one because it really offended parents. parents look at that and say why

would the governor make my child do it and demand that i have to opt out rather than simply say it's available and if you want it, you can opt in. i do think that's a factor. >> bill: do you think that rises to level of illegal immigration. >> no. it's the cumulative effect. i thought he was in and he is not. so therefore they are still shopping. >> bill: you don't think it has anything to do with his christianity? >> no, i don't think so at all. >> bill: nothing at all. i think that's a plus for perry. he has an opportunity to reach into that evangelical base which is 40% of the republic primary voters. >> bill: now, the problems that herman cain, you mentioned mr. cain, is going to run into is fundraising. >> yeah. >> bill: reports today is he less than a million dollars in the till. organization. >> yeah. >> bill: okay. now, and also the perception that he is ideological candidate not a mainstream candidate. isn't it egg about difference, governor? i want you to explain that to

the folks running in a primary like iowa which you run and thin running in a general election campaign two different audiences. >> but herman cain does have the advantage he talks the language of people that understand he is talking to them and is he talking for them. >> bill: he is a good communicator. >> is he great communicator. is he winsome. >> win some? >> that could be the word of the day. >> >> bill: so, you want to define it for the folks. >> it means that you are appealing, that you are a person who is attractive and pleasant personality. >> bill: charismatic it? >> could be very charismatic. >> bill: that's what herman cain has going for him. what he has against him no legislative experience. doesn't know much about foreign affairs by his own admission. get my advisors around me which is exactly what barack obama did economy. with respect to the president he doesn't know anything about economics. >> the difference is herman cain has run something successfully. he has run several corporations

a.c. and took them from failure to success barack obama has never run a lemonade stand. he has never had a hot dog cart on sixth avenue. >> bill: there is a difference on subject matter. no godfather pizzas in saudi arain yanchts there should be. >> bill: that might be a good phrase. >> might be a good thing if they ever tried it. >> bill: i don't want to harp on this because we do want to get governor per i don't understand program but i'm mist find. i don't know whether you remember this. but i chased you down at a holiday inn or something. it wasn't even a holiday. holiday inn express in new hampshire when you were up there. and you were more than happy. bill, let's sit down. you gave me all the time i needed. >> i begged for opportunities to be on your show for the simple reason that if you want to talk to voters in the republic primary. >> bill: 6 million people watch it? >> o'reilly. do you fox news. >> bill: what in god's name is happening with the perry campaign where they will do these little shows with all due respect. [ laughter ] and we get get him? i love you as a guest but he

should be sitting here tonight or on a bird some place. >> i'm glad he didn't because it gave me the opportunity to be here. >> bill: why doesn't he come in here. >> you are not going to let him off easy. you will not throw him softballs. you are fair but tough. it doesn't matter whether it's barack obama or mike huckabee or anybody else. >> bill: he has been on the program before perry and he has done fairly well. i don't understand. this he can handle it? >> it's different when you run for president. one ever the things that i think is he experiencing and it's not about religion. it's about the fact that running for president is like sticking your face in the blade of the fan. >> bill: sticking your face in the blade of the fan. >> don't try that at home. >> bill: it is not winsome. >> it's not winsome and not pretty. folks running for president is not a chess game. full contact sport played without pads. tough experience for a lot of people when they first get out of there. >> bill: we hope the governor comes on. in give you a little plug now. governor huckabee has a good tip for you parents and grandparents.

he has, he and his crews have put together historical dvds for kids. they are great and you can check them out on learnourhistory.com. next on the run down, glenn beck says the occupy wall street protesters are serious threat. the beck meister will be here. a few of those protesters shout

ill bill pal glenn beck has a new venture called gbtv does internet daily show. he has been warning that the occupy wall street protesters have a legitimate threat to the nation. he joins us with another free sweatshirt. >> they keep sending them. i got this off a guy on wall street. >> bill: protesters would wear something like that. >> they might. if they would put on some clothes from time to time that would be nice. >> but you are taking them seriously? >> yes. bill, i was on your show, i don't know. two years ago and i talked about the coming insurrection. i talked about this for a long time. this is the beginning of something. i don't know if this protest hangs through the cold months, how it mutates, but we are headed for a very tough summer take these people seriously. >> bill: let's walk through it who is behind, in your opinion who is behind.

>> sciu steven learner. >> bill: unions? >> part of it. it is global in nature and, you know, sciu and code pink were over for the uprisings over in egypt. we exposed it last spring. we had undercover tape of steven learner giving a talk. >> bill: the head of the service union in the u.s.a. >> is he on sim baltic call now. but he was talking about how we are going to collapse the system not pay their bills and march in front of wall street. et cetera. et cetera. very well planned. >> bill: you think the sciu people are funding the people who leave these groups. >> you have sciu, have you alf-cio. you have all kinds of groups. >> bill: who are they paying?

they are not paying all the demonstrators. >> no. you have the working families parties. we just showed on my broadcast the screen shots that have been scrubbed now from the internet on craigslist where they were recruiting people and paying them 300 to $600 per week to come protest for this. that was a couple of months ago. it was pay to -- we're going to pay you to come protest against wall street and the banks. now it's more organic in nature. have you people on the streets calling for revolution. the media is doing a horrible job in explaining what this really is. what the roots are. how it is global in nature. i'm telling you, bill, i said this two years ago that it's coming. all of it is. >> bill: portraying it as dissatisfaction with the economy based on the unfairness. >> it is not. this is a marxist revolution that is global in its nature. >> bill: they want to create

anarchy is that the strategy? >> yes. anarchy. you have the leaders of the movement of the two weeks ago on msnbc saying we are not here to reform. we are going to collapse the system. we are not hear to reform it. they are calling openly for revolution. >> bill: and in new york magazine they did a survey and 34% of the 100 that they interviewed say al qaeda and the u.s.a. are the same. >> yeah. >> do you think that the comcast corporation, which now runs nbc, because msnbc as you just mentioned is now promoting this. >> big time. >> bill: they are promoting it do you think that comcast understands. >> no. i think everybody is -- they think that this is something that is spontaneous. it is not. we are paying our institutions our higher learning institutions to indoctrinate our kids into marxism. why if they are so worried about their student loans, why is no

one actually protesting in front of the universities? they are the only ones that can effect the price of education. why are the universities all of the sudden blameless? >> bill: do you think that the people themselves who are bunkered hunkered down in the parks and all of this know what's going on or are they being used. >> i think some of them do. some of them are very, very clear. some are idealistic and think this really is about. >> bill: they are not telling them the leaders of -- there has to be leaders. not telling them we are marxist guys. >> no. some are bill, i have documents from working family. i have documents from sciu. i have documents from anonymous. i have documents. >> bill: these are all groups. >> these are all different groups. some of them are, hey, we just want health care. some of them are revolution and they are serious. the really dangerous groups that are inside, they are well organized and they are organized all over the globe.

>> bill: what's the george soros factor here. >> george soros is connected with this through the tides foundation, the tides foundation, his open society and code pink are involved in what is called the wall street journal occupy "wall street journal." and it is -- it's a full color newspaper. you know what it costs to print a newspaper. >> bill: somebody is behind that. >> huge money. huge money. >> bill: what's the editorial bent of the newspaper? >> revolution. >> bill: overthrow? >> you know, collapse the system. >> bill: you see this as a growing movement? why would people want to sign up once you expose and i expose it? why would they want to sign it? >> you are getting a lot of people that are -- i want to be very, very clear. this is a growing movement but there are two trees. there are two branches to this tree. you are seeing the first one. the first one here is a growing marxist revolutionary angry crowd. that is the president -- he is a

street organizer. he knows everything that's going on. he knows all the people that are involved. the other branch you will see soon will be one that will come out and will appear to be more tea party like. and that one will be run by van jones. these people are useful idiots. they will be brought up. there will be chaos and violence in the streets. and then van jones will appear with his nice little organization that looks far more reasonable. that's why they destroyed the tea party. did everything they could to destroy the tea party. >> bill: tea party is still viable it? >> is. but the media tried to destroy it and did everything they could to destroy it. they are doing that now to the country. >> bill: we are going to prove that two segments down. we have some studies on how the media covered the tea party as opposed to this. all right, beck. we are going to be watching gbtv. >> thank you. >> bill: keep doing that work. all of you check out beck's stuff on glenn beck.com. >> let me just say best book "killing lincoln" outrageously great book. read it.

>> bill: i appreciate it. >> you bet. >> bill: geraldo gets up close and personal with some the protesters. not a great persons for him. he will be here. he will be here. miller and i [ male announcer ] it's simple physics... a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. and celebrex is not a narcotic. when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen, and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke,

>> about what's happening in the park. [chanting] >> the crowd is easy to mock. they are disorganized. they look funny. some like the person putting the paper in front of the lenz are aggressive. but they have a real legitimate complaint deep down and it is the message that i think will

resonate eventually as people listen up. thank you for being with us. >> bill: here now mr. rivera. you are trying to be sympathetic to them and they are going "fox news lies." you are trying to give them a break and they are still being disrespectful. >> i didn't take it personally. they are fueled with their own ideology. they hate fox news. and i work for fox news proudly. so the shoe fits. >> you heard what glenn beck said that this is pretty serious business and some big money behind it. and the agenda is worldwide anti-capitalism stuff. do you agree? >> i think that glenn's statements on the program just now harsh at best, paranoid and delusional at worst. he totally is blowing the grand scheme of this out of proportion. i don't think anyone is in charge. i think the one word he used today i agree with is organic. it is generally speaking

organic. >> bill: if you have big people paying attention to this like george soros like sciu. like these various -- very, very left wing groups. they are paying attention to. if you have the craigslist ad you know about it offering money, how can you just blow it off like that? >> well, having seen it up close and personally, can i report that the vast majority of those protesters or white guys in their early 20's who live in their mother's basement, you know, they are college kids. they are recent college graduates. >> bill: i don't disagree with that aren't they being used by forces that they don't really understand? >> i don't buy that maybe forces they don't understand will use them or are using them. that's not what this is about. i think that you have to recognize that there is real frustration out there. there is real fear that they are not going to get a job. you know, there is one job for every five or six college graduates coming out now. >> bill: college graduate unemployment in the u.s.a. is 4.5% is very low so i don't buy that for a minute.

>> i just saw a generally well regarded survey that said college kids graduating to the most bleak job market. >> bill: that i gave is you in stone. >> like everything. >> bill: it is. i base all my analysis on facts as you know. very rarely wrong here. i'm not saying that beck is right. i'm saying that beck makes a compelling case. when you have these big shots paying attention to this stuff, look, you are right in the sense that magnet once the word gets out is certain people frustrated. what's behind it may be what beck says a larger agenda i report from the street level. let me tell you what the protest looked like. looked like the line outside the apple store this morning for kids waiting to buy the new iphone 4 1-6r789 or look like the truther. it's the same crowd, it is his

searching for another -- >> bill: you don't think it's going to impact on american society. >> i think it's the democratic party who is looking at thee protesters and saying um-huh there is what we can reenergize is the left. use the blueprint of the tea party. they were mocked initially and became a political force. these kids can be our new adrenaline and be our new energy. they can put some balls back on the left and i think that, you know, that's the vast majority of it will there be heavy, heavy comey types trying to breed anarchy and graffiti and disorder, sure. if you look what this is generally speaking, this is a naive movement. they don't know -- that's the problem with it they don't know

what they want. if they were in favor, for instance, of the restoration of the clinton era tax rates or more a physical narrow's tax or for a holiday in the repayment of student loans. if they backed specific legislation and candidates, if he would have a movement that had an arc with a beginning, middle, and end. they have no goal. that's the problem. you know i'm for, this i'm for equality. i'm the 999%. >> you don't see a threat to the stability of the country from these people. >> i see a threat to the public sanitation in around the park. >> bill: no doubt about it we're going to see who is right. beck or rivera. we will track it. lou dobbs on the aarp. he and i disagree a bit about the organization. also, the obama administration seriously gambling with taxpayer money. we will deal with that and then another letterman-o'reilly extravaganza last night. extravaganza last night. we show you some highl

>> bill: unresolved problem segment tonight. come to the conclusion that there will never be media fairness in the country again. it's done. just too much money to be made in the partisan precincts. i base my opinion on the decline of hard news reporting and here is a great example how the media covers the tea party as opposed to the occupy wall street folks. joining us from washington tympanogram from the media see search center a group which recently did a study comparing network news coverage of the tea party and the occupy wall street guys. what's the headline, tim? >> >> there is dramatic amount of early coverage. we have seen in the first 11 days of protests 33 stories on the morning and evening shows on abc, cbs, and nbc which auto would average out to basically each network having a story every day. you look at the tea party back in 2009, we counted 13 stories in the entire year of 2009.

so that would be about four stories per network all year long. >> bill: all right. so, for some reason, this movement, occupy wall street has been embraced by the big three network news broadcasts. i think it might have to do with video action, nothing else going on. do you see it as a -- some kind of ideological play? >> it's absolutely ideological thing. and that is that, you know, they're looking at this to say there is an uprising in the country that we have a growing protest movement. they are trying to sort of inject energy on the left. and, you know, if you look at the first stories tea party tax day 2009, it was like this isn't going to go anywhere. this is the corporate astroturf. they were denouncing it from the get-go.

this was different. tone was overwhelmingly positive. you count the sound bites. our jeff dickens counted the sound bites and 93% of them were positive. protesters and people saying this was a wonderful thing. there really is at some point a question as to whether this is just advertising instead of news. >> bill: all right. so, tea party was portrayed in some precincts on network news as racist, as destructive, particularly after that little gauntlet thing where the congressman walked in and they were being shouted at and all of that. >> right. >> bill: while it was branded as such by the network news, i don't think there is any doubt about that. this movement, even though 34% of it according to the new york magazine thinks america is as gadd as al qaeda. that was a magazine very liberal magazine new york took. this is being stun as a good, wholesome, demonstration of legitimate dissent. >> not only that not really

being described as ideological at all. you go looking and i believe we found two or three occasions in these 33 stories where they were even described as liberals. you know, this is the problem we have is -- they have done this with protests for the whole 20 years i have been on this beat. they do not describe left wing radical protesters as ideological in any way. they are just against greed. >> bill: has there been any investigation into finances, into what goes on after dark, into drug use and sale? any of that? did you see any of that? >> no. anything that would be negative, like let's defecate on police cars, let's say anti-semitic things, let's shoutdown staffers to black members of congress, whatever these sorts of stories where you would say wow, that looks bad for them, just they have been white washed right out. >> bill: now. white wash is an interesting word. has there been any mention that most of these protesters are white, very few blacks?

>> no. and i think that, you know, when it was the tea party -- >> bill: that was the headline. >> exactly. their whole thing was and the reporters, these so-called objective reporters would say many say that this is discomfort with a black president. and they just stated that like it was a fact. >> bill: all right. tim. thanks very much. we appreciate it come right back lou dobbs and i differ a bit on the aarp. then shootout alert. letterman and o'reilly once again up ahead.

>> bill: thanks for staying with us. bill o'reilly in the lowe's the done segment. taxpayer money ventures in the tilt of the i talked with lou

last night. >> yeah. it was terrific. i have to say that he probably is still thinking about some of that discussion. >> bill: with all due respect to him, he didn't seem to have a grasp of how his organization is coming across to moderate americans. coming across as a left wing deal. >> and i think his best answer was when he acknowledged that is he a volunteer president and not either the editor of the magazine. >> bill: even if you are a volunteer, have you got to see what's going on. now, the aarp put out another spot about medicare and social security, another one. roll the tape. >> i'm not a number i'm not a line item on a budget. and i'm definitely not a pushover. but i am a voter. so washington before you even think about cutting my medicare and social security benefits, here's a number you should remember, 50 million. we are 50 million seniors who earned our benefits and you will

be hearing from us today and on election day. >> bill: is it me, lou? i asked hammond who wants to cut -- who wants to take away from the seniors? and he couldn't answer me. and now they keep spending gazillions of dollars on the stuff who are they talking about? >> that's the unfortunate part of this. spending all of that money. i'm not a pushover. the number they used 50 million. the number 37 million. the most recent numbers members of aarp. it's a huge outfit as you well know. the idea that they could be doing responsible work, talking about sustainable benefits and entitlements. >> and nobody if you correct me if i am wrong is proposing. it would be political suicide taking away from senior citizens. >> there is no proposal on the table. >> bill: anywhere. >> anywhere. there have been discussions, ancillary discussions in washington. my lord we could be talking about alien landings, you know.

>> why is aarp trying to scare the seniors? >> first, i think it generates some interest in their product, their organization. this is a tremendously wealthy organization that sustains itself on royalties from insurance companies, health care, life insurance. >> bill: so they want to scare the seniors so that they say well, aarp is looking out for me and nobody else is? is that what they want? >> you know, i can't get inside their heads, but i can tell you, this they are spending over 20 million a year on lobbying and they have hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. sure i don't know what the strategy is. >> if i may, i think the point you made at the outset which is the magazine, the aarp magazine with all of those and they are left wing not just liberal left wing. >> bill: devoted hard core leftist at the magazine. i don't know how that plays into the rest of it rahm emanuel former chief of staff for

president obama now mayor of chicago believes that united states is a hedge fund. >> the united states governor started under george bush venture capital. sometimes you are right and sometimes you are wrong. that's unfortunate. nobody takes losing money easy. >> bill: so he is actually admitting you know it's now a casino our tax dollars. solyndra. couple billion here and maybe it will work but maybe it won't but that's okay. rahm left out a couple of facts. there are some winners and losers in venture capital. no one has authorized venture capital to get in the business. the other thing is that those loans guarantees to those solar companies. green companies providing venture capital providing to contributors, to donors,

executives in that company. >> bill: friendly to obama. the basic overall philosophy that the government, the federal government takes our tax dollars and just plays vegas. why don't you just go to vegas, guys? why don't you get on the wheel. maybe we could raise money this way. there is no pollution for roulette. there is a green thing there is green numbers. >> rahm emanuel, is he used to sure things like the garbage disposal folks in chicago, everybody knows exactly how much money it takes. those who gets it, it's all very -- >> bill: you know what i'm talking about here they are gambling with the federal budget, the dollars. they are gambling with this t. now and it's insane. >> gambling with taxpayer money sure thing for the donors, to this administration, to the democratic leaders. >> bill: not a sure thing for the folks. the folks are getting hosed. lou dobbs, everybody. >> bill: coming right back with my shootout with dave letterman

>> bill: back of the book segment tonight. the dumbest things of the week. centering my appearance last night on letterman how apropos. with us arthel neville and greg gutfeld on at 5:00 each weekday. ms. arthel has first crack on it. >> if you want to be a protester,s i think that's good. i think you should bring your beef to whoever you can to get something done. we like the tea party. the tea party protests. the occupy wall street people they are okay if they have a message. bloomberg is down there got the hose today hosing them all down.

>> really the mayor is hosing protesters? >> really couldn't see him he is so small. >> bill: dumb, right? >> of course, because you are in it of course because of i'm in it. honestly you thought it was funny. your appearance overall entertaining. you are bagging on the mayor of new york city? you better give his favorite charity a lot of money so he doesn't kick you out of town. >> bill: follow me around and give me parking tickets. what do you say? i'm a little upset at this. two individuals with different political stripes uniting together to bash little people. >> small people. >> this disdust gusts me. as a little person i have to speak up. >> just because you see eye to eye with him and i only get up to your belly. >> bill: how tall are you. >> on a strong wind i'm 5'5". >> bill: how do you buy pants? >> i go to baby gap.
