>> bill: the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> this is not going to be an apocalypse as some people have said. >> who were those people, mr. president? they were democrats. >> 170 million jobs could be lost. >> what's going on now with the budget madness? we will have the very latest. >> if i started subway today, subway would not exist. >> the ceo of the subway sandwich empire says the business climate in america is dismal. lou dobbs on that. >> yeah, apparently i haven't been invited. listen, i wish them all the best. if they don't want to invite me, that's their call. >> should conservatives shut out governor chris christie? gutfeld and mcguirk on that. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone from california. the factor begins right now.

>> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. reporting tonight from los angeles. thanks for watching us. the madness continuing in washington. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. after hearing for weeks that the automatic spending cuts, which became reality today, would cause massive suffering in america, the president has now changed his tune. >> this is not going to be an apocalypse as some people have said. it's just dumb. it's going to hurt. it's going to hurt individual people and it's going to hurt the economy overall. >> bill: well, that may or may not be true because the apocalypse line is interesting. no question that the president's acolytes were pounding the disaster drum. >> we don't need to be having something like sequestration that's going to cause these job losses,

over 170 million jobs that could be lost. >> 150,000 correct the number of job loss. >> 750. >> at least. >> that's insane. >> it's not even close to being true. watters and pelosi were misleading everybody. they don't know what they are talking about. in fact, a short time later watters' spokesperson said that the number is 170,000 jobs lost down from 170 million. that's just bull as well. nobody knows how the spending cuts are going to play out. what we do know is that president obama and his party tried to scare the american people into pressuring the republicans to allow mr. obama to continue the insane federal spending. that's exactly what happened. and now mr. obama is trying to walk that back because republicans are simply not going to cooperate with him until he begins discussing serious spending cuts. it's very simple. the president wants spending that will vastly expand the already catastrophic debt.

republicans say enough. if we don't start imposing fiscal discipline the country is going to go bankrupt. talking points sees the issue very clearly. you wouldn't run your business the way the president is running the country. you wouldn't run your household that way. if you did, you would be in serious trouble. the country is in serious trouble. but the president does not seem to recognize it. meantime, the budget chaos continues in washington with the government shutdown looming by the end of march. talk about march madness. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight reaction joining us from washington, fnc chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel and at the white house ed henry who covers the president for us. am i making any mistakes first of all in the talking points? >> the only thing i would say to this is that what the white house would push back on. two big pots of money. domestic spending that you are talking about that the president wants more of. give me more for education and infrastructure. et cetera. other big pot of money which is the entitlements which you have talked about again and again which is the really big pot of

money. frankly, neither side is talking a whole lot about that. and what the president would say, if he were here now, is that he, in december, put about $400 billion in cuts to medicare and medicaid on the table and john boehner walked away from that. where they would push back is, look, he has been trying to do something about spenting in a broader context. boehner walked away from that and everything has unraveled since then. there is tough questions for this president though if boehner were to say yes i will take those medicare changes, would the president take a few steps back and say whoa, let me change it or we sign on to it? that's something we don't know yet. >> bill: okay. but i think that the issues are separate issues and correct me again if i am wrong. you have the federal budget that mr. obama wants for next year. i think it's $3.2 trillion, right? >> um-huh. >> the republicans don't want it that high. they want it to come down 10% or whatever. that would be, i guess, but not really if you look at 2008. this country was fine and we could go back to their spending and we would be

fine. but, what the president is talking about is changing medicare and social security. so, maybe raising the age. maybe having very wealthy people forego. all of that is what they call reform. entitlement reform. ed? it's not the same as spending. it's not the same as spending in 2013 or am i wrong? >> well, you are right. but the point is what the republicans are complaining about on medicare is that the president at one time was talking about changing the medicare age eligibility. democrats screamed and yelled about it now maybe that is off the table. in terms of the spending you are talking about separate from entitlements. you are right that the president wants to do more of that spending. he has been crimped in that what the republicans are trying to do is choke off more of that money on the domestic side because think don't want to see the president spending more. that's where he feels constrained right now. >> well, look, i want and i think most americans want entitlement reform because we know we can't afford it going forward.

now, on the congressional side. you basically have boehner, mike, right? i mean, he is really the guy that everything swirls around. speaker of the house of representatives. or is there another player that i'm missing here? >> well, boehner is key. harry reid is also key as well. because and the frustration for john boehner and a lot of his allies in the house is essentially harry reid controls the united states senate. same party as the president of the united states. why don't they get together and figure something out and do something? there has always been the pressure on the house republicans to pass something. they want to know what harry reid is is doing about these major problems that are affecting the country. talk a little bit what you guys were talking about in terms of entitlement reform, john boehner will tell you to your face that the president talk as good game. he says in the private meetings that we need to address entitlements, but then his actions never follow up those words. they will say that liberal groups who come to the white house have a meeting with the president. all of a sudden entitlement reform will go out the

window. bottom line they're asking for him to show some leadership. they seem happy with where things are today in the sense that the president seemed resigned to the fact that this was going to happen. he changed his tone a great deal, not so apocalyptic. they think that's a huge shift. i talked to a close aid to somebody who was in the meeting who said the president's energy was flat. he seemed resigned that the cuts are coming. and now he is going to deal with it bill? >> bill: so the -- you are telling me the republicans think they won this round here with all this chaos? >> well, they think, essentially, that tax increases are off othe table in terms of dealing with these automatic spending cuts they don't think the spending cuts are well managed they will have to address them in some way. the sky is going to fall and here we are on march 1st. people go to work on monday for many many americans their lives are going to be exactly the same. >> nobody going to visually change unless -- we have to wait and see how the thing

comes out it's only 2.3% cut anyway which is not anything. now, does the president, ed, he took questions from the audience today he didn't call on you. i thought the questions were soft again. it's like, all right, look. you say you want fiscal responsibility, mr. president. put some numbers up. put some numbers up. how much do you want to cut the federal budget in 13 and 14 and 15? put them up on the board so everybody can see them. i don't know why these guys don't ask that question. >> sure. and he also didn't get the questions of the sequester is so bad why didn't your staff think of it. it was created in the white house. sure the republicans ending up voting for it so they bear some responsibility for it, too. >> that's a little complicated. i don't grasp. here is the simple one i think you are going to get this. in the last presidential debate which you will remember was on national security, bob schieffer asked about the sequester and the president said it's not going to happen. he said he wouldn't let this happen to national

security, national defenses. it's happening. >> the reason he is -- the reason it's happening -- already, everybody should understand this. the reason that this is happening, because the president refuses to put numbers on the board. he just won't put them on the board. won't do it. so they're waiting. the republicans are waiting say hey, look, we are not going to do anything else until you come up with something that we can see. am i wrong? >> well, the president insists he had a plan on the table with boehner in december. that had real numbers. like $400 billion in medicare and medicaid cuts. as mike pointed out rightly though, republicans on the hill thinks the president says that in private and backs away. today at the podium behind me he insisted he will get behind it and make those tough choices. we will see in the days ahead. the other thing to watch the president was in newport news talking about how bad this was going to be and said i don't want to play the blame game. i want to solve these problems. >> bill: do you know what i think? i think we should make maxine watters secretary of the treasury. wouldn't that be great?

thanks very much. >> she did not have a hold on the numbers. >> bill: she missed it by a little. next on the run down mitt romney's first interview since his crushing defeat in november. chris wallace has it. chris will be here. flamboyant basketball player dennis rodman cozying up to the brutal dictator of north korea. gutfeld and mcguirk on that as the factor continues from southern california.

>> bill: impact segment tent, mitt romney giving his first interview since he lost the presidential race in november, to chris wallace. that will run this weekend and of course the budget mess is addressed. >> i look at the sequester and also the expiration of the bush tax cuts as almost once in generational opportunity for america to solve its fiscal problems. i mean, i see this as this

huge opportunity and it's being squandered by politics. by people who are more interested in a political victory than they are in doing what's right for the country. it's very frustrating. i have to tell you. >> bill: mr. wallace joins us now from washington. if governor romney had won the presidency, we wouldn't be going through this because the governor would have cut the federal budget, there is no doubt about it. does mr. romney understand, chris, that many of his supporters feel very let down by him? >> oh, absolutely. you know, this is the first interview he has done since election day. and obviously it's four months that he has been out of the public spotlight. one of the questions i asked him in the interview is why would the republican party want to hear from you and he said look, i know, i lost. i lost a race that a lot of people thought we should have won and they blame me. but i care too much about it. you know, i care about these issues. and i'm going to offer what i think and people can take

from it what they want to take. is he keenly aware, first of all, is he disappointed and secondly and he says repeatedly in this interview he knows he let a lot of people down. and when you see something like this, which he believes he could have prevented from happening, yeah, he feel as tremendous sense of frustration. >> shepard: it was his fault he lost, in my opinion. he didn't do what he had to do to close the deal and he didn't take advantage of the benghazi/libya situation and the foreign policy debate. he came off as detached from reality and didn't show the people an urgency that certainly he could have shown with the economy and the general tenure of the country being so disorganized. did he take personal responsibility in the interview with you for the loss? >> oh, absolutely. because i asked him about some things the campaign did wrong. and while he acknowledges that, he says, look, every strategic decision in this campaign i made, i take full responsibility for it it but the one place i disagree with you, bill, is, you know, it's not like

the other side wasn't trying. one of the things we talk about in the interview is the fact that from april until august, after he had had this tough primary campaign, he was out oof money. he had not set up an organization for national campaign. he had set it up in these series of primaries that the president was able to just bastion to hit him on beanie capitol and tax returns. until he was able to get money in the organization those attacks went unanswered. frankly they just had a better ground game. a better organization than we had. they had been planning if for two years. they didn't have to go through the primary fights. all they could do is develop and their race started in april of this year. his race started a year and a half before. >> all right. but he got fewer votes than john mccain got. and, you know, the economy is just awful. so, to me, he could have used the free media. he could have used the social media. he didn't. nobody really understands why he didn't. so that's what happens. but i agree with you, if he

had been elected president we wouldn't be in the mess we are in right now and we are in macy here. chris, we will look for the interview. thanks very much. directly ahead, the founder of the subway sandwich franchise says he couldn't have started his company under the obama administration. lou dobbs on that. overweight women new study says they should be doing more housework. coming right back from l.a. all right that's a fifth-floor problem... ok. not in my house! ha ha ha! ha ha ha! no no no! not today! ha ha ha! ha ha ha! jimmy how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? happier than dikembe mutumbo blocking a shot. get happy. get geico.

>> bill: louens the boss segment tonight, many american businesses are cutting back because of obama care. the situation is confusing. increased healthcare costs will obviously cut into the bottom line. enter the founder of the subway sandwich restaurant chain who recently said

this: >> if i started subway today, subway would not exist because i had an easy time of it in the 60's when i started and i just just see continuous increase in regulations. >> do you think that obama care will expand to 40 employees to no more? what is the impact that you see? >> that is the biggest concern of our franchises, they don't have enough information. they don't know what they're looking forward to. it's causing a lot of concerns. that's it will pass through the consumer. >> bill: joining us from new york commentary fox business anchor lou dobbs. we should tell everybody if you have more than 40 employees then the obama care, the full weight of what you have to pay for healthcare kicks in. if you have less, you pay a little bit. right? explain that to me. >> 50 or more. and what happens is you are seeing a lot of businesses, purposefully, going to hold at 30 because, after that level, you start -- it starts kicking in: in 30

house it starts kicking. in 50 employees it kicks in. and the costs are ratcheting up quickly. $2,000 fines for not providing obama care. the penalties are onerous for a small business in particular. >> bill: okay. so do you believe that that has constrained people from even starting up businesses or is it just kind of like we're not going to hire anymore people? >> we can't really tell on job creation, bill. job creation is running, you know, it slipped a little bit, about 5% or 6% over the course of the last couple of years. overall job creation remains at very high levels. up near the levels over the course of the past 20 years which has been very high. we can't speak to job -- to business creation itself. but we do know that businesses aren't hiring. they are saying in every poll that we look at that they are not hiring because either they don't need them, not expecting demand for services or products. or they simply can't

understand what's happening with the regulatory environment which is now in that pieceurden as fred that you aired. >> bill: what does that mean regulatory environment? what does that mean? what's the difference now than it was in the 60's? what does fred have to do now that he didn't have to do then? >> let me give you a couple of real quick examples. back in 1960, one in 20 people had to have an occupational license of some sort. now, it's every one in three. that's how much its exploded recognitions themselves on the federal government alone. leave out the state and local government which has the health department going in to look at franchises and food chain or fast food chain. these are costly burdens placed on a small businessman or woman trying to build up their business. >> they can't pass the cost

on to consumer because subway sandwich is about as much as they can get they charge higher somebody is going to go some place else. what about the minimum wage 9 bucks? the president wants a $9 minimum wage. i kind of think that's all right. i would give exception to teenagers, maybe senior citizens. is that going to hold the economy back the minimum wage? the chamber of customers loves. at the margin. it can't be done all at once. incremental steps raising that minimum wage is passed on to the consumer as is everything else. jobs to provide higher wages. people have to always remember this. sometimes the business community forgets that, you know, consumers are also workers. and if you pay them more, they can buy more. and that makes for a lot healthier, more robust economy. it's a good idea.

>> bill: it's a dual sword because if you pay them more you might have to raise the price of the burgers. a minute left on the program. obviously we are following all of the budget chaos. do you think the tide has turned against the president, generally speaking? with this woodward deal and bad publicity and now today he is going well, it's not the apocalypse but two days ago we had zombies in the street, flesh eating zombies are going to come if we cut anything. i mean, people wising up? >> i think people are waking up. i think they are wising up. and also, i believe that the president has overstepped because as you suggest, i mean, he tried to bring out everything but the four horse men of the apocalypse as a result of the 1% change in federal outlays in seven mons. he overreached. it was hyperbole at its worse. i think there there will be a penalty for it, a backlash. right now his approval rating as you know is above 50%. >> bill: i think it's going to go down. can you call maxine watters for me, lou.

>> sure what would you like toe call her? >> run some numbers by her. >> peggy noonan had the best description of her referring to her as one of those famous idiots in washington, d.c. a town that seems to breed famous idiots. >> bill: she certainly has a little number problem. maybe we will get her a calculator or something. i don't know. lou dobbs plenty more as the factor moves along this evening. new study says women are overweight because they are doing less housework. whoa. gutfeld and mcguirk has some thoughts. security has been called. >> chris: industry responds to being snubbed by conservative group this month. hear from the governor. stay tuned for those reports. dad, i'd put that down. ah. 4g, huh? verizon 4g lte. 700 megahertz spectrum, end-to-end, pure lte build. moe most consistent speeds indoors or out. and, obviously, astonishing throughput. obviously... you know how fast our home wifi is? yeah.

this is basically just as fast. oh. and verizon's got more fast lte coverage than all other networks combined. oh, why didn't you just say that? huh-- what is he doing?

>> bill: fridays with geraldo segment tonight. the u.s. soldier who provided national security to the bioweb site wikileaks has pleaded guilty, could receive up to 20 years in prison. joining us now from new york to update this, geraldo rivera. so what is this weasel pleading guilty to? >> he bled -- pled guilty to the less serious charges. there are 22 charges in all. he pled guilty to the 10 that really had to do with kind of the general information that was out there, like the most famous video from baghdad in 2007. where a u.s. helicopter took out a group of men they thought were al qaeda, turned out they were reuters reporter and two other civilians.

it's that stuff. it's him having access, unauthorized access to this classified material. posting it on the internet. providing it to wikileaks. he pleads guilty to the 10 less serious charges. is he facing up to 20 years as you suggest. the reason he pled guilty to those less serious charges is that if he were tried in a civilian court, ironically, bill, he would, for even those 10 less serious charges have been facing over 90 years in prison. so he allows the military hearing to accept the guilty plea to the 10 less serious charges. but and this is the big but, he is still facing 12 charges of aiding the enemy. this is a lot more serious. this is treason. >> right. and that will be a military court as well. now, just so people know this bradley manning and what he did, he was in iraq. he is some kind of gay militant guy and i guess that was his beef that he

wasn't being treated the way he wanted to be treated. but he put out information that included the names of afghans who were helping the u.s. military. get them killed. the government says that in the raid on bin laden's compound, in pakistan, they actually found some material that manny -- manning had given wikileaks. usama bin laden according to the government was asking for more material from him. this isn't some little beef. this is a pretty big deal. >> i will argue if you want on whether or not substantively i thought he aided the enemy. clearly, usama bin laden thought that bradley manning was important. he wanted access to this material. >> yes. >> that manning was posting on the internet through weeks. when the seal team 6 heros busted into bin laden's compound there in pakistan, they did discover much of

the material that bradley manning had leaked through wikileaks. the question i have though is when you look at the big picture, putting aside the emotion of the moment and the passions we want to string this guy up. he is a traitor in war time. aiding the enemy, what was it he really accomplished, this private first class bradley manning? did he aid the enemy in the sense that he gave them the upper hand? did his actions result in the death of any gi's, for example? any u.s. diplomats, for example? i don't think any of that is proven. that's why i'm a little curious. they got him now for the 20. it seems to me they could have gotten him to plead to twice that. but now they are going all out. they are going to have dozens and dozens of witnesses. they may prove their case. it is speculated, bill, and this is interesting that one of the members of the team that raided the bin laden compound will make a surprise appearance at the

military tribunal, at the military court and testify that when he busted into bin laden's office os or the digital material they seized, remember, they emptied those file cabinets that that material contained manning's stuff that bin laden specifically asked for it. >> bill: that's what the government alleges. the question is whether -- -- the reason they are doing this is to send a message to other people you better not do. this make an example out of this guy is what you do. i was down last summer at the west bury theater on long island seeing crosby steals and nash remember the protest singers in the 1960's and 1970s. wrote a protest song bradley manning is a good. why are we protesting him. a third of the audience walked out. might have been because it was a terrible song, i'm not sure. i think it was, hey, you guys are pinheads, nobody should stick up for somebody trying to hurt their country. last word, rivera?

>> i think the reason he generates any sympathy at all is that the war was so deeply unpopular the war in iraq. he is seen as a martyr to the antiwar cause and he was held under abysmal conditions in solitary and all the rest of it can i understand how they tried to get the sympathy for him. as a traitor he doesn't deserve much sympathy i bill think 20 years in prison is enough in my opinion. >> if he gets 20 i'm fine with it? >> heard, everybody, chris christie being snubbed by conservatives, dennis rodman telling the leader of north korea he loves him and are american women chubby because they are with the spark miles card from capital one,

>> bill: thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly reporting from los angeles. in the what the heck just happened segment tonight, we begin with new jersey governor chris christie, the conservative political action conference cpac will hold a convention later this month in washington. almost all the big republican names are going to be there. but not christie. >> i didn't know that i hadn't been invited to cpac until like two days ago when i saw it in the news. [ laughter ] so, yeah, apparently i haven't been invited. listen, i wish them all the best. they are going to have their conference. they have a bunch of people speaking there they don't want to invite me, that's their call.

>> bill: all right. joining us now from new york to react, bernard mcguirk and greg gutfeld. gutfeld, you can sympathize with the governor because you are very rarely invited anywhere yourself; is that correct? >> that is true. you see by pay back i will throw myself a party and then invite nobody. that makes me feel a lot better. look, this story to me is a joke. most people in america don't know what cpac is. to them it's a three day course in antibiotics. and the fact is the left loves this kind of political infighting. but it -- i mean, it's too low to be even political inside baseball. it's more like inside lacrosse. this is not a big deal. it's a big deal to people who want to paint the republican party as falling apart. >> bill: mcguirk, do you believe that the governor is a conservative? is chris christie a bonafide conservative? >> i certainly do believe that. i think it is a mistake. i think it is important and stunning turn around. he was the tea party darling just six months ago.

gave the keynote speech at the republican national convention. i don't think anything like this has happened since hollywood turned its back on fatty arbuckel the late great fatty arbuckel. chris christie embraced president obama. and botched aid bill which they eventually passed. this guy speaks their language on the biggest problem facing our country, debt, deficit. to throw him overboard would be a mistake. it would be like fox news disowning bill o'reilly because he shows love to jon stewart once in a while. you are a winner, chris christie is a winner. they are making a big mistake in my opinion. >> bill: i like that analogy, that was brilliant. gutfeld write that for you? >> thank you for that. you have a lot in common with the big guy governor christie. >> bill: i don't know physically whether we do. but certainly in our style of confrontation. >> indeed. >> bill: dennis rodman, we

know him, we love him. is he a former basketball player. kind of a walks to a different beat kind of guy. he plays for the harlem grown trotters now, mcguirk. and as part of their world tour, he is in north korea and he kind of likes it in north korea and he likes the dictator there. roll the tape. >> his grandfather and a his father, are great leaders. and he is such a proud man. as a young kid, guess what? he is so awesome. he loves his wife so much. he is proud. his country like him. not like him, love him. love him. guess what? i love him. i love him. the guy is awesome. >> bill: the next msnbc commentator dennis rodman. [ laughter ] i mean, you can't take this seriously, can you? >> no, you cannot. but it is in a sense, it's obscene because humanizing

this clearly well-fed despots who population is starving to death. i don't blame dennis rodman he is like an idiot in this whole ming. lenny mice and men. lenny nose ring and tattoos. is he a clueless skanky pawn in this whole thing. i blame the hbo executive, the bottom feeding hbo executives for putting him out there. dennis rodman doesn't know the difference between hong kong and pyongyang that there was a korean war at all. they asked him if he wanted to go see the dmz he says he watches tmz ail the time and loves harvey levin. he doesn't know what he is doing. it's the hbo executives. >> bill: i'm sorry dmx, zy, whatever it is. giving him a pass what about you? >> i think the media has this thing all wrong. rodman is actually a hostage.

but the north koreans don't get it if you are going to take a hostage. it's got to be someone that we want back. that's why nobody is bothering to get rodman back. we need to send all of our pointless celebrities to north korea because we don't appreciate them here. they appreciate them there call it the has been exchange program. for example, we could send andy dick to north korea. in exchange, we don't have andy dick. see how that works out? it's perfect. >> bill: it's a good deal for them because they don't have to give up anything and they don't really have much to give up. i feel a little sorry for rodman. i think that the guy is allowing himself to be used. not that he cares. but, you know, he clearly doesn't know anything, mcguirk. >> what is the point. bill clinton went over there and rescued two pretty girls. happy ending and that was all good. in this case he turns this fat little jerk around, then we will applaud and send gary busey to syria to hang out with -- mike tyson

in iran. it's not going to happen. yes, he is a pawn. he is being used. he is getting paid. that's what it is. >> yeah, getting paid. >> getting exploited. that's what he is. >> bill: we have more with gutfeld and mcguirk in a moment. very controversial story on the docket. are some american women overweight because they're doing less housework these days? whoa. don't blame me. this is a study. factor will be right back from california. i you're suffering from constipation,

miralax or metamucil may take days to work. for faster relief, try dulcolac laxative tablets. dulcolac provides gentle relief overnight unlike miralax and metamucil that can take up to 3 days. busy ihere. yeah. progressive mobile is...

>> back of the book segment tonight. we continue now with what the heck just happened? new study out of the university of south carolina has concluded that some american women are chubby because they are

doing less housework than women have done in the past. 1965, for example, american women spent an average of 26 hours a week doing housework. by 2010 that had dropped to just 13 hours, half. here now once again gutfeld and mcguirk. all right, mcguirk, i assume you don't do any housework at all. >> that's not true. it's not. >> bill: yeah, saturday, you are kind of dusting? >> no. i will throw stuff in the garbage now and then. i'm a good guy like that. but, you know. >> the average woman does 13 powers of housework a week how many do you do? >> about 13 minutes. okay. you got me. you got me bill o'reilly. >> bill: i just wanted to establish credibility on this issue. go ahead. >> no do much housework. this confirms what i have always thought that zumba classes are no substitute for swinging a mop and washing windows. that's all i'm saying. and, you know, the study

was actually just a clumsy attempt to say people should be more active. i would add that there is something attractive about watching a woman clean a house. at least arnold schwarzenegger thought so. but i don't know, the "new york times." [ laughter ] >> this is straight like out of 1950s. the "new york times" there is a war on women from the "new york times." this is ridiculous. gutfeld, you remember that tv show hazel? do you remember that, hazel? >> i'm not 65. >> she was hot. >> bill: maybe the reruns of hazel? >> no. >> shirley booth. >> i remember alice from the brady bunch. how about that? >> bill: hazel was row fund, shirley booth. she was doing housework like crazy. >> yeah. >> bill: on nbc. >> any activity above sedentary lifestyle would burn calories. they knew the media would pick this up by inserting the housework clause. they knew jay leno will do this as a bit tonight which

he probably will. women should do more house so should men. housework is the most relaxing thing can you do. i do it all the time usualfully a french maid outfit i get 300 bucks an hour, downtown. [ laughter ] >> bill: i give you $500 an hour never to mention that image again. >> that was tmi. >> i will take that. >> bill: i will be on leno tonight. i will stop him from doing any kind of offensive material about the south carolina study. go ahead, mcguirk. >> i'm just saying mr. hollywood, bill o'reilly, you you are the vanity fair party, the laker game last night. i'm surprised you are not sitting here with sunglasses doing this thing this afternoon. >> bill: i brought -- bought a lot of chains when i was out here so i will be wearing them later on. as you know gangnam style with this chubby south korean guy who doesn't do enough housework if he did he would be more slender. that was huge. >> you know he is not a north korean. >> bill: no. is he a south korean guy.

and now there is something called, let me get this straight, the harlem shake. roll it. ♪ ♪ ♪ do the harlem shake ♪ ♪ >> bill: now, apparently, gutfeld, that was a frontier airlines flight that actually happened. and now everybody is looking on the internet. right? >> this actually angers me. travel is designed to get you from point a to point b. you have no idea what mood people are in on that flight. if you start standing up and dancing, i should have the right to punch you in the face. by the way, these are guys from a colorado frisbee team. that makes it even more heinous. they should toss these people out the baggage door

and watch them sail across the sky because i'm on a plane. i hate flying. i have got to be medicated. i don't like people complicating matters by being wacky. oh good for you, you are wacky. shut up. >> bill: by doing the harlem shake i have to say as somebody who knows harlem fairly well, those people would be beaten to a pulp if they ever tried that north of 110th street mcguirk if you know what i'm talking about. >> what a doubt. this video should be called shakes on a plane by the way. apparently the seat belt sign went off and act like a moron sign went on. this is no joke. this is on a plane. instead of doing the harlem shake they should be doing the jail house rock. terrorists could use. this they could do the tehran twist. the west bank wiggle on the baghdad booingy. next thing you know all hell is breaking loose. the air marshall doesn't know what the hell to do. it's a disaster and offensive and people should be locked up if the crew was complicit in all of this stuff, i agree with

greg. sit down and shut up. >> the airline was complicit. if you want to do the harlem shake on the airline, you have got to pay them a dollars. everything costs money. so you can dance but it's 5 bucks a a head. gutfeld and mcguirk, everyone. once again, i apologize for the segment. on deck, the factor tip of the day. is california a good or a bad place? the tip 60 seconds away.

>> bill: with all due respect, that is entirely false. that is wrong. that never happened. so, you should pre-order my up coming book killing jesus which will have the
