5:01 pm
rise. a factor investigation tonight. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone, the factor begins right now. hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. foreign policy chaos, that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. as you may know, former pro-basketball player dennis rodman is in north korea again. this time with other former players entertaining the dictator kim jong un and his murderous regime. but what started out as a publicity stunt for rodman has now turned very serious. this man, 45-year-old american kenneth bay has been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in north korea for, quote: committing hostile acts. mr. bay is a christian missionary from washington state, was running a tour into north korea when he was arrested in november of 2012
5:02 pm
he was a wife and three children. by all accounts this is a frameup and bae is being held illegally by the north koreans. today on cnn rodman was asked about the situation. >> are you going to take an opportunity if you get it to speak up for the family of kenneth bea bae that this is wrong and he is sick. if you get the opportunity will you talk to him. >> the one thing about politics, kenneth bae did one thing. -- if you understand what kenneth bae did, do you understand what he did? >> what did he do? you tell me. what did he do? >> no, no, no. you tell me. no, no, i don't give i don't give a rats ass what the hell you think. i'm saying look at these guys. look at them. >> don't use them as an excuse for the behavior that you ever putting on yourself. don't use these guys as a shield for you, dennis.
5:03 pm
>> listen, listen. listen. they don't shield. i gotly -- let me do. this really? really? i'm going to tell you you one thing. people around the world, around the world, i'm going to do one thing, you guys behind the mike right now. >> there is no doubt that rodman is a buffoon and being used by brutal dictator that kills people at will. there isn't much that the u.s. c do about it except not traveling to north korea which it has. no american including rodman should go to that terrible country. on the other front even more serious there is now chaos in iraq. while the obama administration is drawing down u.s. troops in iraq, vice president biden said this. >> i am very optimistic about iraq. i think it's going to be one of the great achievements of this administration. you are going to see 90,000 american troops come marching home by the end of the summer. you're going to see a stable government in iraq that is actually moving toward a
5:04 pm
representative government. >> wrong. mr. biden is wrong. iraq is a mess. sunni and she a muslims are fighting each other and al qaeda is now all over the place in that country. this is a huge loss for american foreign policy and now we have a similar situation developing in afghanistan. with all the domestic problems we have in america, foreign policy is not really in the forefront. but president obama needs to deal with overseas situations forcefully. in pakistan the doctor who helped us find bin laden remains in prison on bogus charges. in iran we have the nuke situation still unresolved. and in iraq syria and lebanon war may be looming. so mr. obama some work to do in 2014. and that's the memo. now for reaction. joining us from little rock, arkansas. wesley clark former allied commander of nato. start with rodman, first. it's not an important story like iraq or iran, but here you have a guy who is propping up this north
5:05 pm
korean regime because they use him as a propaganda tool who doesn't know anything and they ask a benign question look will you help get mr. bae out becse you have access to the dictator he goes off on this rant. what do you think about that? >> i think it's very sad that a guy like dennis rodman who uses his former celebrity eustachian. he is an american citizen. he goes over there and gets used and pretends to know nothing. and i guess it's all about him and money or something in north korea. but i am dismayed by it. >> see how much he is getting paid and all of this. i think he truly does know nothing and i don't think he cares. the interesting thing is, general, this rodman situation has reached the white house. here's jay carney. >> i did not see some of the comments that mr. rodman made but i'm not going to dignify that outburst with a response. i'm simply going to say that we remain greatly concerned about kenneth bae's health
5:06 pm
and continue to urge the authorities to grant his amnesty and immediate release on humanitarian grounds. >> you know, mr. carney can say that and it sounds good but the fact remains that you can't get the doctor in afghanistan out. you can't get mr. bae out o. i mean, it seems like they are impotent. the u.s. government is impotent. >> we don't have complete power all over the world. i would say, this bill. you know, when you look at northeast asia, you put your finger on a real problem. and i think the administration was right two years ago to try to pivot and somehow get a broader focus around the world and simply the middle east. it's been very difficult for them to do. if you look at china pushing its neighbor japan. pushing the philippines. claiming the so-called 9-line in the china sea. that makes its of its neighbors nervous. japan is more -- south korea is there dealing with uncertainty and greater risk
5:07 pm
from the north. >> yeah, everything is evolving. >> and this uncle is worrisome. it increases the risks in the region. >> absolutely. all right. so then we go over to iraq. and i have to ask you that if this situation continues to worsen, we now have fallujah and ramadi, two towns in the north central area of the country that americans fought and died for, and we won that fight. but now they are being taken back by the terrorists. there is going to come a point where president obama is going to have to make a decision, do you send in u.s. advisors and u.s. personnel, not just guns, do you send them in to keep this country from falling into a civil war? would you send them in, general? >> well, you may have to work out of some kind of arrangement with maliki. maliki hasn't lived up to all of the prom missions he has made either. he has done a little bit on his own to dig himself a hole there with the sunnies. and he is in the grip of regional forces. he has made some
5:08 pm
accommodations with iran. he has got iraqis fighting in syria on the side of hezbollah, and so it's a really -- it's a stew pot of difficulty. the question is can we put the right arrangements. >> it's the president's job to do its best for america. is it best for america to reengage in iraq to get back in there so this doesn't go into al qaeda's hands? because that's where it's heading. >> well, i wouldn't rule it out. but i think you are going to find stronger performance. >> you ran for president would you go back in with limited force? >> right now, i would let maliki's military handle fallujah. that's what he is going to do. we have given him some military assistance. if it goes beyond that could you conceive of putting some special forces in and using air power, yes, you could. only with the right agreements on the ground and with al maliki because he hasn't lived up to his side of the bargain either. >> no he hasn't but neither
5:09 pm
has karzai in afghanistan. we are going to get rid of him because it's the same thing there. it's a mess, general. the whole foreign policy for america right now is a mess. >> well, bill, you know i was one of those who was against going into iraq in 2003 for this very reason. it's what general colin powell said. >> yeah, but you supported afghanistan and so did i and i supported both of them. but i think we have to deal with the here and now. we have got to deal with the here and now and i think president obama has got to engage and figure this thing out. general, always a pleasure to talk with you. next on the rundown, political hatred. bernie goldberg says it's worse than ever. he will be here to explain why. later, is it legal on a win for the progun people in chicago and a victory for anti-gay marriage folks in utah. factor is coming right back. v-. natural energy from tea packed with real juice from delicious fruits and veggies. it's what you need for that extra boost!
5:10 pm
oh and did we mention it's only 50 calories? need a lift? could've had a v8. in t juice aisle. need a lift? could've had a v8. is a really big deal.u with aches, fever and chills- there's no such thing as a little flu. so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. prescription tamiflu attacks the flu virus at its source. so call your doctor right away. tamiflu treats the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior,
5:11 pm
stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. so don't wait. attack the flu virus at its source. ask your doctor about tamiflu, prescription for flu.
5:13 pm
segment tonight. political hatred it is certainly on the rise in america as both liberals and conservatives battle for power. but why is the vitriol worse now than even when it was during vietnam and during the iraq wars? joining us from miami, the purveyor of bernard goldberg got come, mr. goldberg. >> i agree with you. i read your column on your web site. i agree with you. it's now, i think, the worse that i have ever seen in my life. why? >> yeah, let me agree with your lead. in i do think that it's worse than vietnam and frankly i think it's as bad since the civil war. during vietnam and the civil war there was no internet and the tv and no talk radio the way we have it today. they didn't start the fire. they didn't create the hatred and the polarization. but what they did, bill, is they created a battlefield where the right and the left can fight each other 24 hours a day nonstop every day. and what we have got as a result of that is more polarization, more anger, so
5:14 pm
one side, neither side wants to hear what the other side has to say. neither side likes the other side. and when you go to these platforms, you go there only to get your own entrenched views validated. we don't -- we wall ourselves off to anything we don't want to hear. we segregate ourselves to things we don't want to hear. i think that creates even more polarization and more anger i agree that the fuse gets lighted in the media because every little thing gets blown up into a big story because we have a to fill time. here on the fox news channel we have got to fill 24 hours of time here. and then talk radio these guys usually do a three hour block and they have got to get calls and generate controversy. so any little thing. i call it small ball is whipped up in. but it's a mentality thing too on the part of of the consumer who absorbs it. now, in vietnam and bernie and i were obviously
5:15 pm
eyewitnesses to what happened. kent state where kids were shot down in the street and counter culture attacking jons and johnson and nixon. we don't have physical violence but we have mental and verbal violence, correct? >> yes. and what started during that time of kent state and vietnam and watergate was the breakdown of respect for our institutions. and i think that also creates this polarization and divisiveness and hatred. during the great depression, there was a lot of bad stuff going on in america but we were united. during world war ii we were united because we had faith in our institutions. now because of vietnam and watergate, we -- who trusts congress? who trusts. >> nobody according to the polls. nobody does. nobody. >> who trusts journalism?
5:16 pm
who trusts the mainstream media. >> here is the question. is congress worse now, the caliber of individuals sitting in the senate and the house, are they collectively worse now than they were in 1971. >> well, i will tell you what the big difference is. >> we get a lower form of politician? >> whether we do or not, and this is where the consumer comes in. there is no compromise now. >> sell out? >> tantamount to sell out. crime against humanity. that is because today everybody is afraid that that consumer that you mentioned will call the talk radio station, will, you know, go on the web site. so they are afraid to compromise. they are afraid to be seen as sell outs. again, this contributes to the polarization and the anger. and the fact that the democracy of the media. now, knuckle heads who couldn't get a letter to the
5:17 pm
editor published years ago, now they go on the web, they write u mail and i bet you get a ton of hate mail. >> i don't read it but we get it that brings me to the point of our society and the way that parents are raising children going back i would say 20 years ago. they be be a -- abdicatiny. you want to call somebody four letters word. you want to dance on them when they are down, go ahead. i do think it's just as much consumer-driven, individual consumer driven as it is mass media behavior. >> i think that's a good point. the bill that was rung up in the 60's is coming due today. starting in the 60's it was hey, do what you want.
5:18 pm
you don't have to respect authority. do whatever you want. that's what -- that's what is happening. >> hey hey l.b.j. how many kids did you kill today? that started it. >> right. and, bill, on that matter, that's an important point. on that matter, in the last administration, the left called george bush a nazi. and that was just commonplace. now, i get emails from people and i mean this literally, i get emails from people today who think president obama is worse -- they hate president obama as much as i hate adolf hitler and i mean that literally. that's how angry things have gotten. you know, bush was a nazi. obama is as bad as hitler. and this is all coming from people who as i say couldn't get a letter published in a weekly newspaper if they tried. now they have forums. >> they have got forums. >> they have the internet. >> i think it's worth
5:19 pm

john has a program on income inequality this thursday on the fox business channel. >> while the richest americans prosper, the other 9% of americans are left to suffer. >> this is the story of the rich getting richer. >> while the poor are now poorer. >> after all as the movie wall street says. >> it's a zero sum game. somebody wins, somebody loses. money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred. >> that's a mistake a lot of people make. it's as if they think wealth is like a pot. >> oh, you smell that fresh baked pie right from the oven. would you like a piece? which of you gets a big piece. >> in a zero come game, the rich take a big piece so the rest of us have less. but in a free society, -- >> -- it's not a zero sum game. the makers who get rich, get rich by baking many more
5:33 pm
pies. >> here now to explain further is stossel. well, i agree with you on this issue. this is like -- >> -- finally. >> on the factor that i agree with stossel. i will tell you why, i think most people identify with this. when i was a kid, i made money the way i could. shoveling snow, cutting lawns, painting houses, baby-sitting, whatever i had to do. i never resented the people who had more than i did, which was almost everybody. i just said look, i'm going to makes a much as i can honestly and i hope i will get there some day. i have always kept that philosophy. i don't believe in this redistribution business. i don't believe in any of that. and you say? >> and, great, that has been the american philosophy. and what matters most is income mobility. and you are not stuck as a poor person or as a rich person. pew did research on this and found checking the children of people 30 years later, most move out of their quintile of income.
5:34 pm
>> not barack obama taking money out of your wallet. >> 10% move all the way from the bottom to the top. >> what the liberal will never understand, the democratic party as well, is that will there are some people who don't do what is necessary to have the pie to take out of the oven or have the oven they will not or can cannot do it. >> and these ever growing programs teach people not to do it. >> that's right. >> to be dependent. >> there is always an excuse. the abuse excuse. the race excuse, whatever it is is. >> as you said, if you are not making a living in buffalo, get on the greyhound bus and go to dallas or go to miami where there are jobs and you can make money. i moved 15 times in 20 years in my career. >> and the reporters often say the rich got richer, which they did, that's a by product of freedom there will be a wealth disparity and the poor god poorer. that's a lie. the poor have not gotten poorer. middle incomes have stagnated. that leaves out a lot of the good stuff that poor and
5:35 pm
middle income get. it lifts all boats. >> the reason the rich get richer is primarily because when you have money you can invest money, the investment brings you more money, that's capitalism. >> there is also unfair part. they may have rich parents. they tend to marry other rich people. >> that isn't fair. >> that's just life. some people are 6'4" with blue eyes, thank you very much. other people look like stossel, you know. [ laughter ] >> it's not fair that you are so much taller i agree. >> and smarter. >> is it fair that we are born in america. >> that's right. i tell my kids all the time you could be in zayier and getting pounded. you have got to go with what you are getting and work hard. that's the solution. we have got to stop this stuff, right? >> i agree. >> watching thursday night. is it legal on good news for progun people in chicago and bad news for pro-gay marriage people in utah. legal is next.

cheng, obama appointee, says that chicago's ban on guns is unconstitutional. here now with analysis, kimberly guilfoyle and lis wiehl. all right, wiehl, we know what he said why did he say it. >> the second amendment, very simple. the right to keep and bare arms must also include the right to transfer arms, buy arms. >> acquire. >> the right to sell them. >> it's that simple. >> no city or state or municipality can infringe on the right to possess firearms and if you want to possess you have got to buy. >> you have got to buy them. >> right. so it's counter intuitive. how can you possess. >> big word. >> i like the judge's reasoning and also he said it was overbroad and said the city did not demonstrate a direct correlation this would pose a direct threat to public safety. >> i don't buy that part of the argument. chicago is a violent city and a lot of thugs who have illegal guns in there. by illegal guns i mean shaved serial numbers. they don't for the religion
5:41 pm
congratulation process. >> that's what we are talking about, legal guns here. >> i understand it i disagree with cheng saying you haven't demonstrated there isn't an effect. there is an effect. dead people. is he right founding fathers wanted to give americans the constitutional right to defend themselves. >> speaking of founding fathers. the federal law doesn't ban. this so i expect that this will be upheld all across this -- >> -- and it will. >> in chicago people will be able to buy and possess legally handguns. >> demonstrated a nexus, a causal link. if the city appeals they will provide more justification on the bounds. >> maybe. i think the trump card is you can't stop people from owning guns. >> right. >> utah, supreme court has told the state of utah to stop marrying gay people. >> right. >> based on what, guilfoyle. >> this was interesting. they put a hold on gay marriages in utah. this is now being sent back. sotomayor could have decided this herself. it is being sent back to the
5:42 pm
tenth circuit for the whole tenth circuit it to hear this case. >> that's the u.s. appeals court? >> that's correct. there you see justice sonia sotomayor. >> she sends it back. >> let's get to the why of this. already about 900 gay couples have been married. >> right 950 couples. >> 9 auto performed in 17 day -- >> -- because of this ruling. >> right. and the ruling is based on what? >> well, they are saying that this basically an equal protection issue but also an issue of the voters rights and it's very similar if you look at what happened in california. >> california they -- the judges overturned the will of the people there. >> right. but the point is it's very similar correlation between the two. >> wait, wait, wait. this is what i don't understand. in utah can't overturn the will of the people but california can. what is that? >> -- here is the reasoning, they specifically did not give a reasoning as to why do that they put it on hold. >> the supreme court stayed the ban. why did they stay the ban? they said it could possibly be unconstitutional to have
5:43 pm
this ban. we don't know. we are not deciding whether it is or not, the supreme court. >> this is so confusing and so inconsistent. >> i agree. >> i think the court is going to have to rule and it should be state by state as far as votes are concerned. not judges. >> and the will of the voters depending on what they put forward. >> all right. so what you are both saying is it is going to be chaotic going into the future. >> it is. >> what about people who don't know whether they are married or not in utah? >> 27-year-old jake strict atlanta is -- strickland utah father, he has a child with a woman, not married. >> yeah. >> they break up. the woman, wiehl -- >> -- baby. >> gives the baby up for adoption without strickland's approval. strickland wanted to raise the child. strickland is suing the mother and a bunch of other people for, what? >> $130 million. >> this is little jack. this is the father here. >> there is the dad. >> he is suing for under racketeering theory, which is a federal crime. saying or federal cause saying, hey, you colluded.
5:44 pm
>> you brought me in, mother. you said don't worry about it, it's all going to be okay. >> does he have a shot? >> no. >> he has no shot? >> because in utah the law is so strict on what a biological -- >> -- you have to register with the. >> this is probably a guy who doesn't know about the rules. >> well, did he but it was too expensive. >> expensive? >> hire a lawyer and cost him $4,000. >> also you have to understand something there was duplicity on the part of the mother. she was him and the family the days before the baby was born. >> no shot in federal court do you believe it? >> i would lining to say he does have a shot. utah has the strictest rules. it's onerous. >> he wasn't even on notice that he should have done that because he didn't give the baby up for adoption. >> pinheads not in utah but anybody involved in this case. if the father wants to raise
5:45 pm
the child, and the mother doesn't, the father should be able to raise the child. >> he hasn't even seen the child. >> never even let him know she was giving the child up for adoption. she was not hun nest about it. >> we will follow that case for you. a 2-year-old in colorado eat as marijuana laced cookie. we told you that stuff was going to happen. we'll be right back with that report. i love to eat. i love hanging out with my friends. i have a great fit with my dentures. i love kiwis. i've always had that issue with the seeds getting under my denture.
