honoring its heros 230 years ago today. and now you know the news for this tuesday, august the 7th, 2012. i'm shepard smith. thanks for having us in tonight. mr. bill is coming up. see you tomorrow. the o'reilly factor is on tonight. >> it's like robin hood in reverse it's romney hood. >> bill: wants to take money from the working folks and give it to the fat cats. can that possibly be true? crawl and colmes will analyze. >> the feeling when people get when they hear barack obama speech i felt this thrill up my leg. >> favoring barack obama over mitt romney. how much will that effect the vote? we will tell you. >> if you ran into o'reilly at a cambridge cocktail party what would you tell him? >> i would probably avoid him. >> bill: jesse watters traveling to unfriendly factor

territory. cambridge, massachusetts, home of harvard. >> are you an o'reilly fan. >> for comedy reasons, yes. >> bill: caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. factor begins right now. hi, i'm bill o'reilly, thanks for watching us tonight. president obama and the american media that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. last night on the factor bernie goldberg said this about the political media and president obama. they droold all over him four years ago and now they can find gaffes in romney's trip. journalists are barack obama's most loyal base. they will not abandon him and they have got too much invested in him. >> bill: what bernie says is true. here is the backup. 2004 kerry vs. bush.

university of connecticut study of 300 journalists nationwide found 52% supported kerry, just 19% favored bush. 2007, the pew research center did a survey of 585 journalists, it found 32% of them describe themselves as liberal. 8%, 8% say they are conservative. the rest claim to be moderate. in 2008, another pew survey assessed the tone of the presidential campaign between barack obama and john mccain. it found that fewer than a third of the stories about mr. obama were negative. while more than half the stories about john mccain cast him in a negative light or negative. even worse, less than 20% of the stories about senator mccain a certified war hero were positive. less than 20%. more than 33% of the reports on mr. obama were favorable. so you can see the press in america favorables the more liberal candidate and has for decades. what does it mean in the

upcoming election? it gist the democrats advantage. they will be covered far more extensively than the republic agenda. second, stories that make the president look bad will be played down in the national press. while anything mitt romney does will be described as a gaffe, a mistake or just plane dumb. the cumulative effect of this will to influence voters who do not pay attention. those of you who watch the factor and listen closely to what the candidates are saying will not likely be influenced by the media. we know that but the folks who spend most of their time in recreational pursuits could be very much influenced by the pro-obama coverage. the here and there. talking points estimates that will give the president about 3% or 4% of the popular vote. finally why are most journalists liberal? pier pressure the main reason. bernie goldberg and i worked at cbs news at the same time, if you were not politically correct, if you were

traditional you were suspect in the eyes of management. that included dan rather. when i worked at abc news, things weren't as bad because peter jennings did not like blatant partisanship even though he himself was a liberal thinker. in order to prosper in their careers, many journalists believe they have to toe the liberal party line. the second thing they want to tow the liberal party line because a lot are educated in liberal universities and liberal environments. not a lot of leavitt town or abilene guys in the national press. no spin. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight, joining us from reaction writes for "roll call" a political paper and charlottesville, virginia dr. larry sabato who teaches politics at the university there. where am i going wrong, dr. sabato? >> well, bill, there is no question that there is a will the of bias in the media. there is no question that by a very wide margin the key editors and reporters and producers vote for democratic candidates.

but i think you exaggerate the impact they have on the quote undecided voters. number one, there aren't that many undecided voters in a year like this. you know, i would argue, bill, that about 95% of the people who will actually show up in november have already decided for whom they will vote. >> 12% seems to be the number we are seeing in the weekly polling. 12 hers remain undecided. as bernie goldberg says those people shouldn't be allowed to vote because if you don't know the difference is so stark between the president and mitt romney, if you don't know by now, goldberg doesn't want you to be able to vote. all right you? are too dumb. but it's about 12% i agree with dr. sabato in the sense that there aren't going to be as many undecides this time around but those who are immersed in the internet culture, gamings, sports, or whatever, they are hearing snatches and it's all pro-obama from the national press. >> i think independent voters who are still independent and

who are undecided right now probably aren't listening to these news reports at all. i think they are zoned out. when i go on the trail and i talk to women in particular. they can't even name some of the people up for vice president. they are just that much tuned out about it i think we can underestimated how much these -- how long these voters wait just in the final two weeks to make a decision. >> bill: shows voters count as much as your vote or my vote or dr. sabato's vote. i think you are right. there are a number of americans, in the millions, that basically aren't paying attention, it's boring to them. it doesn't speak to them so they don't want to pay atense. in the last two weeks they will dial in. but they do catch snatches of this and that they do catch, you know, president obama and he is still a charismatic cool guy. mitt romney is this dunder head rich guy. he wants to take money away from the poor people and give it to the rich people. the democrats play to that they play to the media, dr. sabato. you know they do. and the media runs with whatever the democrats give

without a lot of scrutiny. not everybody. there are excellent reporters excellent concern, everyone. but the majority of them basically, look, you know, romney is a rich guy. and obama is a cool guy. that's the way it's come down again. am i wrong on that? >> well, look, some of that is true. i'm not going to argue with all of that, bill. but i think, again, you are ignoring, i think sahara is ignoring the fact that many people she is interviewing and you are interviewing who don't know where they stand right now and don't know anything about politics, they are not going to vote. tens of millions of americans won't show up in november. won't cast a ballot. luckily, i think many of them are the people who know the least don't know. >> bill: we estimate 55% of the registered voters will turn out. 55%. between 55 and 60%. it's a lot. it's not a bad turnout. but i do believe that it gives the media bias toward

president obama, gives him about 2% to 3% of the popular vote. am i wrong on that? >> i don't know if i would calculate it 2% to 3%. i think it's really hard to put a speck number to t. i think what you can look at in swick states and divorce are getting a lot of their information and that has changed over the last couple of cycles. you have influx of television ads and a lot of negative advertisements way earlier than we usually have and voters are looking at that, too just as much as a voter turns on the tv and sees a quick news clip and also watching a television advertisement. these are also a source of information for a lot of voters. so keep that in mind seeing those ads hurt sherrod brown the liberal senator there. doctor, do you teach in summer classes at charlottesville? are you teaching anything this summer. >> absolutely. always teach. >> bill: so you are teaching,

right? so these zombie kids paying a lot of money to go to the university so they are all for obama, most of them, i would imagine. do you ever ask them why they are for obama? because they don't know anything. you know how stupid college kids are. why are they for obama? for what reason? >> well, first of all, things have changed over the past four years. you are going to see in november a smaller percentage of young people voting for obama and, frankly, i think a lower turnout of young people. >> bill: why? why? why are we going to see that? >> why are we going to see that? >> bill: yeah. >> because unemployment is up for one thing. >> bill: the economy is -- okay. but why -- tell me why that college students are so pro-obama? big on obama, why? >> well, because i think they took to the cool image of obama four years ago. >> bill: where did that image come from? who brought the college kids that image? >> part of it was the media

part of it was the way they grew up. values that they adopted when they grew up. >> bill: the media brought -- the media anointed him, the cool guy. they made him. they gave him the image. bill, when we were growing up, we had three networks with the same stories presented. >> bill: but you didn't have the bias you have now. >> same kind of people. today we have a multiplicity we all know that cronkite was a raving liberal. we all know that but he hid it he hid it they don't hide t anymore. >> i don't know how well he hid it. look, hey how about fox news and all these blogs and news organizations. people select news organizations. >> bill: it's like 10 to 1. we are fair here. i don't think we are promoting mitt romney on this network. there are a few people who are but certainly our hard news guys aren't. next on the run down, president obama says mitt romney wants to raise money on

with us now is alan colmes and monica crowley, author of the big new best seller "what the bleep just happened?" so the president is basing his projections of governor romney taking money from the poor and the working people and giving it to the fat cats on by the tax policy center when which is very complicated has to do with phasing out deductions and all kinds of things that are basically theoretical, they are not real things. the president is taking this and his guys have taken and this run with it saying that now romney wants to take from the folks and give it to the rich people. now, i'm laughing because and i'm not favoring romney owe over obama or anything like that. it's so patently absurd that the president believes what is he saying. like romney was in massachusetts. did he make money away from the poor people in south boston and give it to the rich people? >> of course not. >> bill: in concord and lexington? no, he didn't. >> well, in this particular line of attack, it's particularly rich coming from

the king of wealth redistribution. right? i mean, barack obama has been running around like a did demind robin hood in very aggressively redistributed wealth in america. has he done it through obama care and done t through massive massive restructuring during the energy sector and health care sector and financial base. for him to do this is classic projection. but there are also ways. >> bill: he believes what the tax policy center has put out, colmes. >> i can't sit here and have you say redistributed wealth 95% of working families. tax center congressional budget office and whole bunch of other independent studies have shown that romney, the only way to make romney's numbers cut are to cut benefits for the middle income people. romney doesn't come out with a specific plan. >> bill: you just said something correct. >> right. >> bill: romney has not come out with a specific plan. yet, the president has come out with a plan -- >> i'm going to cut 20% and

the tax policy center says the only way to make his numbers work. >> bill: take a deep breath for a minute. all right. okay. you just hit it i know you didn't mean to. >> yes, did i. >> bill: romney has not come out for -- to lay out a specific plan about taxes, wait, and deductions. the tax policy center did that. so obama, the president, took what the tax policy center did and assigned it to romney. >> do you know why? because the tax policy center said the only way to make romney's numbers work is you have got to cut the middle income people. you have got to take away money from them. >> bill: certainly you see the ruse here. >> it's not a ruse. no other way to make numbers work. why won't he get specific. >> bill: i want to make it clear. colmes did tell you the truth when he said governor romney has no specific tax plan on the table. >> on anything. >> bill: but president obama

says he does and just assigned him that you say? >> first of all the tax policy center, one of the two authors of what we are talking about here happens to serve on obama's economic advisors in 2009 to 2010. >> bill: it doesn't matter whether he served. it's all conjecture. >> right. and there are biases built into conjecture. >> it's all could, might, might have to do this and he assigns it as fact. >> correct. and that's very irresponsible on the part of the president. >> bill: people should know this. >> of course. >> hold on. both of you guy, listen, romney put out a 59-point economic plan. you are correct to say that it doesn't have specifics on which particular deductions and loopholes he would close in order to lower all the rates. broaden the base in order to achieve revenue neutrality. that much is true. he does have a specific pro-growth tax plan on the table. >> i don't care what he has, all right? i don't care at this point. what i want is the truth to be

reported. now, the governor is going to have to, in the next three months, put forth a viable economic plan that deals with taxes, phasing out deductions, which he says he wants to do. and then we will take a look at it but, don't you -- aren't you upset a little bit by the president of the united states, again, believing every word he says, believing it? his heart. >> bill, the only -- >> bill: no, no, no. he believes that romney wants to take money from somebody living in a shack and give it to me. and you buy it. >> the only way to make those numbers work is to take those deductions away from middle income americans. let romney say there is another way to do it let him be specific about it. >> one the great ironies is that the argument that obama is trying to make here is that there has been nobody more intent on gutting the middle class than barack obama. >> that's ridiculous. >> what he says, is he wig to go to fiscal cliff come january 1st. have everybody's marginal tax

rates rides. the point of this is he knows that the real money ♪ with bill o'reilly. he knows that the real money is with the middle class. is he doing everything possible to go after the middle class in terms of the 28 obama care taxes that are going to january 1st. >> bill: i don't believe that for a second. i think -- i just don't believe that for eakd is. what the president's to do is set up a two tier structure. the wealthy in business support everybody else. that's what he wants. >> but he knows the real money is with the middle class and that's coming in second term. >> he may know that. >> mark my word. >> he doesn't care we owe 16 trillion. the president of the united states does not care. >> how you can give tax breaks about caring about the deficit. >> it's not my job to do that. >> romney's job to come up with a plan. he doesn't have one. >> he does have one. >> if he doesn't have one in august you can go run around. the president of the united states miscategorized what is going on and it shouldn't happen. >> i don't agree. >> i got to go. >> bill: he doesn't agree. the sun is out in the daytime.

>> bill: stossel matter segment tonight, if you watched us last night, you saw a very robust debated where mary katharine ham and juan williams opined. the people who sell hard drugs should not be prosecuted, subjected to harsh prison sentences. unless they are kingpins or something like that. i say if you sell heroin, meth, oxycontin, cocaine, you are committing a violent act around you should be punished accordingly. here now author the book-now

can't. >> >> i say no you they can't make go away. >> bill: i said you can't incarcerate yourself out of the drug problem. however, we have a justice system. justice is the key word there. it should be, all right? if you sell someone a substance that can kill them, can enslave them, give them aids, on and on and on, you are selling them poison. poison. you shouldn't be held accountable for that? >> well, in my ideal libertarian world, no. selling to adults is legal and if you sell to. >> bill: if you sell poison in your libertarian world. >> take another run of prohibition. is alcohol poison? >> bill: it's not poison in the sense that if it's abused it is. but if you have a glass of wine or a beer or two. >> some people have dabbled in crack and given it up. >> bill: very few. >> the government numbers show most. >> bill: that's not true. if you deal in substances like

heroin, crack cocaine and oxycontin. the difference between the effect on your physiology to a glass of wine is enormous. there is an enormous equative -- it's like selling a cigarette. and a. >> i agree. >> i'm submitting to you in america i don't care if that person is addicted or what they're. if they're giving you heroin, selling you heroin, that's a violent act. because the effect on your body is pernicious, it's awful. all right? so that person is selling you something that will harm you. and could harm others. and we are too permissive in this society. too blaz za with the theory about it now, here is the question i asked mary katharine, you have a 19-year-old daughter. girl od's on oxycontin and i have a letter coming up in this broadcast exact same situation dies. you know the person who sold her the oxycontin, go to the police, what should happen to that person? >> that person broke the law. that person should be

prosecuted. >> bill: now you are being -- i'm telling you now you are gone. >> in my world it's legal and if my daughter dies, i'm terribly sorry but the dealer is no more responsible than the wine dealer is responsible when someone has a dui. >> bill: it is never going to happen in the united states of america where heroin and crack cocaine and oxycontin are going to be legal over-the-counter drugs. it's never going to happen. but if your daughter turns up dead, all right? and you want the person prosecuted, correct? >> my daughter is 27. >> bill: why do you want that person prosecuted, why? >> because he broke the law. >> just because he broke the law. >> i shouldn't decide because my daughter died of her own abuse. that she is responsible. >> bill: your daughter is responsible for own death, i will give you that another contributory factor another human become giving her the substance killed her, selling her the poison. you can't give these people a pass. i will give you the last word. >> you have to ban alcohol.

>> no, you don't. >> punish the. >> it isn't the same as heroin. >> the government's own data show 4 million americans have tried heroin. 200,000 used last month. most people try. use it for a while. give t up on their own. >> the government's own statistics show there are 24 million americans now involved with narcotics to some extent. >> while it's it's illegal. >> bill: that's a public safety disaster. >> because of drug war. >> if it were legalized the number would be 45 million not 25 million. >> you don't know that. >> bill: every other society that is legalized has seen rise in you use. >> not true. >> bill: everyone. go to england or switzerland. >> portugal legalized. switzerland did it in one town. >> bill: i have stats on that tomorrow. stossel, thank you. is it legal on arizona man put in jail for holding a prayer service in his own home? and next, jesse watters combing the country for places that do not like fox news and the factor. tonight, cambridge, massachusetts. hope you stay tuned to those reports.

authorities say, at the attorney general level, well, the investigation is ongoing. >> yeah, right. >> it's not ongoing. if you just not going to charge those two kids. >> bill: they are not going to say that they dropped two charges but they have two. >> they still have two. >> the only reason to have dropped the charges on those two, the only reason especially with all those witnesses they did not follow through with by the way. at least three that came forward say we want to testify and they never followed through. the only reason to take that is that if those two, the two that they dropped the charges against are saying we'll talk. we'll testify against the other two. and they are more culpable than we are. meaning a plea deal. >> nevertheless, they have sufficient evidence. they have an obligation. >> bill: let me ask you straight up? do you think there is a coverup here because norfolk doesn't want the prunt of a racially charged mob. >> it's suspicious. >> it wasn't covered. >> bill: the attorney general of virginia who was on this program to intervene. he says he can't. i don't believe that.

he has got to get an investigation at the state level. got to get that 911 call out there. >> right. internal affairs investigation going on right now could be charged federally as a hate crime possibly. >> arizona, guy holds a prayer bible study in his house, lots of cars show up. they charge him with, what? >> 57 counts of violations to the code. don't have exit signs and handicapped ramps. >> he was getting the donations. >> giving him money. >> right. he said. >> that's why the authorities are mad. >> right. that's exactly -- he has got more than 80 people there twice a weeks. is he saying it's for -- he is being persecuted for religious reasons. >> in close proximity? exactly very upset. >> totally right. no one interfere with someone's right to practice and serve religion. did get a building permit 2,000 square foot game room where he is having these

services. background is interesting. former prison guy on parole was a gang member. >> drive by shooting. >> don't want to cast dispersions on the guys. if you have rules. you can't have that and can't do it. rent a hall some place if you want to have a prayer meeting. >> why does everybody else have to follow the rules. >> bill: especially if there is money changing hands. charles krauthammer on deck. he hammered mitt romney last week. is charles sorry for doing that? krauthammer moments away. born with. and inspires the things you choose to do. you do what you do... because it matters. at hp we don't just believe in the power of technology. we believe in the power of people when technology works for you. to dream. to create. to work. if you're going to do something. make it matter.

>> back of the book segment tonight criticizing mitt romney. july 25th, governor romney said this in london about the olympics. >> it's how know how well it will turn out.

few things disconcerting, stories about the private security firm not having enough people. the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials. >> bill: well, after hearing that, charles krauthammer opined this way. >> what romney answered in that question is unbelievable. beyond human understanding. uncome prehence cybil. i'm out of adjectives. all the man has to do is say nothing. nothing. >> bill: joining us now from washington is mr. krauthammer. >> bill: i have got to tell you i don't think what romney said was all that dopey. i didn't think it was malicious or irresponsible or any of that just said hey, is he an expert on the olympics, he ran one, he has seen a few possible flaws appointing him a lump mix and krauthammer says -- you say. >> i say you are obviously wrong. i didn't say that what he said was wrong and i didn't say that it was something that

he,, you negotiation, you could refute but the point of it is he wasn't being interviewed as olympic expert. he was being interviewed as a presidential candidate about to head overseas on a trip three places chosen precisely because barack obama had dissed each of these allies, britain, israel and poland when you are asked that question about the olympics. what you do is a three foot putt. you say i love the olympics, i have been there and i'm sure the brits end of story, bill and there is no story. >> if i were mitt romney i would have answered exactly the same way because he gave an honest answer. now, what you are saying isn't wrong. it's not wrong if you were political advisor, you say hey, governor, no matter what they say, put on a happy face, tell them they are great and

go home. you know i don't like politicians like that. i want people to answer the question the way they think it should be answered. i respect candor. now, what you are saying is politically strategically correct. but what i'm saying is, he didn't say anything wrong. he was honest in his assessment. and he shouldn't get hammered for it. >> he didn't say anything untrue but on the eve of a visit, a foreign policy trip meant to demonstrate your solidarity with allies you don't go and say something that ends up being the butt of a rally in london on the eve of the opening ceremony. >> bill: why would it -- >> hold on, bill. >> bill: answer become a butt of anything. the british are very tough people. we know that. this is just totally media contrived-driven by anti-romney people. that's what it is. >> when the mayor. >> people wine about that.

the mayor made romney into the butt of -- >> bill: who was -- >> -- it wasn't the american media that made him do that he saw a political opportunity for himself. >> bill: that's right. boris johnson is a liberal guy and by the way he is still suspended. >> they haven't taken him down. >> is he not a liberal guy. he a conservative boris johnson. not a guy going after romney ideologically. look, when you are going abroad you have to calculate what you are going to say. look, my objection to how the trip was covered was that the president took this one gaffe, which was a gaffe, and turned it into the theme for the whole trip whereas the two other parts of the trip, the one in israel and poland were a triumph. and instead of calling it that. in israel, obama was received by the prime minister who is a man of the right and is he a

hawk then received by the president man of the left. dove, member of the oslo accords as congress corresponding hero. he was given essentially the reception of a head of state. in poland he was explicitly endorsed by the george washington of that country who was the former dissident, former president, cold war hero. icon of history. second only to pope john paul. and these are the big events of his trip. >> bill: yes, and the press here completely misreported them. your fault because krauthammer says is he a dummy so they used you because of that stupid preliminary pick thing which didn't amount to anything. >> krauthammer said he made a mistake where he did. and they ran with it. i'm not responsible. >> bill: that's right. >> i'm not responsible for the misinterpretations which you are now amplifying and repeating, bill. >> bill: of course i am. >> i demand an apology.

>> bill: all right, krauthammer, i will give t to you i think in about february. charles, as always, factor tip of the day up next. this one is a treasure hunt. the tip, 60 seconds away. this y teaching the perfect swing begins with back pain and a choice. take advil, and maybe have to take up to four in a day. or take aleve, which can relieve pain all day with just two pills. good eye.
