tonight, we will have the facts for you. also this evening, bernie goldberg on how the media is using pope francis and john stossel tries to buy a handgun. >> supreme court says i have a right to carry one of these. 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. what you absolutely have to know about your government. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. new stats on obamacare are in. once again, younger americans not buying into the program. that means there will be a huge deficit in the mandatory healthcare law. right now about $48 billion a year allocated for obamacare. also the feds get 3% of every healthcare policy sold

and that could bring in hundreds of billions. but, it still might not be enough. now, why should you you care? the main danger facing all americans is not al qaeda but it's the treasury department. right now the federal debt, how much we owe as a nation 17,300,000,000,000; 17 trillion. since president obama took office five years ago the debt has increased 63% in 2014 alone, at least $560 billion will be added to the debt bringing it up to 18 trillion. happy new year 2015. that's a massive problem. massive. and it's not really being addressed in congress. the new budget calls for more than $3 trillion in spending. as i just said that's 560 billion more than the feds are going to take in from we the taxpayers. again, why should you care? it's very possible that the u.s. dollar could collapse. if the people who are lending our government money, china et al begin to

pull out of the bond market and other u.s. investments, armageddon. also the feds cannot continue printing dollars to pay our debts so the dollars will lose buying power. right now the u.s.a. is playing it very dangerous game with the currency. many americans don't want to pay attention. in fact, some americans don't even know who joe biden is. they are texting all day, all night. but unless voters, unless voters start to demand that the feds pull back on spending, all of us are going to get hurt. all of us. just a matter of when. once again, talking points feels like paul revere, i'm galloping around, but half the country doesn't care. democratic party surely knows the danger on the horizon. are they doing anything about it? are they trying to find ways to cut spending? no. same with president obama. he doesn't seem all that concerned by the titanic national debt

poor you are very sensitive. you didn't have anything when you were a kid. parents didn't have anything. now you are a success. you still put money away? >> there is a possibility that all the money that you have, all the dollars that you have saved. those dollars are going to crash. do you know what happens when a currency crashes? all your savings. everybody watching, everybody they have worked hard for their whole life can dissolve now we have a debt that's irresponsible. it's irresponsible to carry an 18 trillion-dollar debt. you are liberal, obama

supporter. your party, your president, your philosophy all say we must continue spending at a record rate that's the fight between the republicans who want less government and democrats who want bigger government more spending. how you can juan williams justify that. >> you are a good man bill o'reilly or should i say paul revere. >> i am paul. >> you are sip sear in trying to wake up america. it's too much doom and gloom. bill o'reilly says the sky is falling and ignoring some facts. let's look at the facts. the spending as a percentage of the economy done by the federal government right now at about a 30 year low. 30 oyear low. >> 3 trillion-dollar budget? >> no, no. >> 3 trillion-dollar budget isn't a 30 year low. >> as i said it's a percentage of the economy, bill, okay, i'm just telling you -- the deficit. the deficit has been cut in half in the last five years. >> that's ridiculous because

they ran it up so big and now you are saying because they ran it up -- look, look, look, juan. you are a baseball fan. >> they ran it up because of what? we were in a terrible recession. and we were involved in two major wars. >> no doubt. >> okay. so slow down. and the final point to you is, you know what? we have about the lowest number of federal employees, despite the fact the population is much bigger, we got all the -- lowest number last 47 years bill o'reilly. >> they don't take much money anyway. let me put forth this. both parties would say you know what 18 trillion is unsustainable as a debt. both parties embrace austerity plan because of the foolish mistakes we make. letting wall street sell all these irresponsible mortgages. foolish mistake and both parties are involved. both parties. >> thank you. >> iraq, i wouldn't put the word foolish on it but it was a mistake. it was a mistake.

for blood and treasure we acknowledge our past mistakes, we the u.s.a., congress, both parties. enough to, we have to be austere. you know what the word of the day is austere. >> there we go. let's do it. >> you oppose that? >> unless it's done in a way that's foolish. at this point when you say that the united states economy is in the midst of a very slow protracted recovery and we need to make sure that economy continues to grow. wall street is booming. we're still the number one place for global investment, the united states of america. you have got to say that, too, paul revere. >> what's the other choice? >> i'm just saying. >> there is no other choice. >> you said a minute ago. what happens if people start to pull out the bond market. >> right. >> they have no chance. guess what, we are the number one place for global investment. >> right now. but that could change. >> we are. >> that could change. >> you don't walk the wire like that. all i'm saying is that voters of both parties have got to stop the nonsense. this is not the time in

history for social engineering. >> i would agree. >> that's where the money is going. >> no, it's not. >> oh, it is. so you know it is. >> let me just tell you something. you are a conservative kind of guy. >> i am not conservative. >> i was a liberal. >> i am independent. >> you are independent, all right. okay. i will buy that. here is the thing? why don't you think politician does what paul revere bill o'reilly suggest? let's make a deal. let's talk about it? >> because there is pork. there is too much pork. >> oh, no, you point fingers at the liberals, the democrats. >> that's the liberal philosophy. >> why does it that you think then that the republicans refuse to say to the rich in this country we have got a problem if you think that the debt is such a problem and we have got to get it down for future generations. why aren't they responsible. why aren't the rich responsible. >> you want the rich to pay down the debt? >> no i think everybody. didn't you say people as americans have to come together and do what's pragmatic. >> i have got to go. just take a look at the chart. the wealthy in america are paying almost all the taxes

now. >> the tax rate right now is what it was back in the 90's. >> do you want their houses? no. stop. i can't believe you are a mouth piece for the rich. >> mouth piece for the rich. >> you should be a man standing up for the people. >> i am. i want both parties to come together and stop the spending nonsense. >> now you are back to paul revere. >> next on the rundown, new developments released yesterday. president obama in a very tight spot. they show he was told that benghazi was a terror attack on the day it happened. we'll have the latest. later, is it legal on alex rodriguez suing pretty much everybody in the world. the factor is coming right back.

impact segment tonight, tonight the house armed services committee released a bunch of documents that clearly show president obama was told by the defense department that the assassination of libyan ambassador christopher stephens was done by

terrorist. the president was told that on the day the attacks happened. yet as we all know the administration told another story to the public. joining us now from d.c. fox news chief washington correspondent james rosen. so is this as bad as it sounds, rosen? >> well, speaking just as an honest broker of information here and i'm not someone who has any particular dog in this fight, yeah. this is another nail in the coffin of the idea that the obama administration was telling the people the truth in the days after 9/11. this is declassified, top secret testimony that was given to congress last year by the nation's top military officers. the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and other key people at the pentagon. they gave this testimony in secret last year. now it's been declassified. >> i want to be very fair to president obama and to then defense secretary leon panetta, right? i want to be fair to both men. the testimony was given to congress by the pentagon chiefs, under low on

panetta, correct? at the pa net that is the top goif. panetta himself did not testify, correct? >> not before this panel. he testified before the senate armed services committee last year. here is the point of this testimony, bill. >> let's say on panetta. >> yes, please. >> what did he say to panetta in the senate committee? basically i got the word from the general something called afri-con. libya. 15 minutes of the attack starting, the head of afri-con notifies the chairman of the joint chiefs, the chairman of the joint chiefs and the other guy go to panetta. all three of them know within 20 minutes of the attack it's a terrorist attack. panetta and dempsey go to the oval office to see president obama. they had a previously scheduled meeting. again, we are now within an hour and a half of the attack. panetta told the senate armed services committee.

getting too much information too quick. panetta and dempsey go to the president. they tell him it's a terrorist attack. they don't say organized attack on our guys. that's what happened. get the nomination. ambassador susan rice as we all know goes out, tells everybody spontaneous demonstration. now panetta says nothing. all going on, secretary panetta not saying a word even though he knows it's true. he is not saying a word. dempsey is not saying a word. they are not saying a word. of the president is not saying a word. there seems to be three people here that allowed ms. rice who i don't think knew. i think she was a dupe, to mislead the world. am i wrong? >> well, it's not just the president and susan rice. it's jay carney, it's secretary clinton. there is a lot of people.

>> stick with the big fish. stick with the big fish. i have three big fish here for you. i have got the president. i have secretary panetta, i have dempsey. stick with the big fish. they let it go. >> big fish number one, bill, dempsey is a uniformed military officer. he only follows orders or he answers questions before the congress. otherwise o, it's not his turn to speak. so he stays buttoned up and we can can perhaps understand that. >> okay. >> leon panetta is a civilian and a member of the president's cabinet. his obligation to correct this false narrative over the next two weeks. did he not. we asked leon panetta's former chief of staff, well connected by still in town. tight with leon panetta for a comment yesterday in our reporting. we did not hear back. >> president obama is the last big fish is there any wiggle room in here for the president? >> these transcripts as illuminating as they are, bill, still leave unanswered one key question. how exactly and when and where did this idea of this false narrative take route

within the obama administration? the point is, we now know, thanks to these declassified transcripts the president knew from the get-go this is a terrorist attack. he resisted saying so for days and weeks. only he can truly answer that question. >> there is no doubt that he knew? >> not according to the chain of reporting of information that is laid out pretty clearly in this these transcripts. i urge all of your viewers to read them themselves. you can go to the house armed services subcommittee on oversight investigation, their web site and read all 450 pages, even though they are redacted, there is plenty of material here. >> fair report, rosen. i'm sorry, but i want to stay on the main centralissue oa and on the president of the united states. we appreciate it we will will stay on the story. it's a big story. directly ahead, bernie goldberg on an interesting question. are the american media exploiting pope francis? and then stossel, trying to buy a gun here in new york city. wait until you see this. upcoming.

weekdays with bernie segment tonight. very interesting situation involving pope francis, you may remember last november the pope said some capitalists are evil, exploiting poor folks that got picked up all over the place in the u.s.a. mentioned on the evening news. this week when pope francis said abortion is literally throwing away human beings like garbage, that got no mention at all. none. joining us from miami, the purveyor of bernard goldberg .com mr. goldberg. i'm not surprised in the pope puts the u.s.a. in a bad light. that's going to get headlines. if he abortion, the liberal media will ignore it. is that what we have here. >> right. once again you have stumbled on to the truth. the issue isn't solely about

how the media treat this particular pope. there is a bigger issue. that is that too many journalists on the left and on the right tend to play up stories that reflect their own values and play down stories that don't reflect their own values. so, when the pope talks about the excesses of capitalism and income inequality they jump all over that story because it reflects their values, their friend's values their family's values and probably president obama's values because he also talks about income inequality. but when the pope talks about abortion being horrific and part of a throw away society, we did some checking. the network said the vote is exactly zero -- >> -- no mention. >> virtually every major paper ignored the story. even in today's "new york times" story about the pope quoted him a few months ago saying that the church was obsessed with abortion and

cob that accepts but left out. >> they didn't mention that he said people should understand that are not catholic that the basic doctrine of christianity is all life is sacred. all life. christian doctrine opposes it abortion, same thing. cath leaks and other christian sects say the only one who has a right to terminate a life. not a doctor, not a woman, not a woman who is pregnant. god. when life is in play. you can't. that's why euthanasia they oppose. now, a lot of americans don't believe that we respect that. this is a pluralistic society, we do. but when the media, the national media uses a pope or exploits the pope as i think they did in this case on capitalism and turns around around doesn't report the other stuff i think we

have a serious problem in this country, bernie. >> let me throw this out to you because i think we were both hard newsed journalists. one could make the case and i'm not necessarily making it tonight. but one could make the case that the pope coming out, making a statement against abortion, isn't exactly a bulletin. >> it is the language though. >> he is the pope after all. >> no, no, but it's the language. >> there is no question that you or i could have written a pretty good page one story. >> that's right, absolutely. >> about the whole context. i'm just saying, you know they are going to say i don't care what they say we heard the drum beat for months that this was a liberal pope. he was changing and then all of the sudden he comes out language and it doesn't exist in the united states bernie. this story does not exist. precisely because of what i said at the open, when they have a story that reflects their values and their

friends' values. >> they run with it. >> they play it up. >> right. and when they have a story that doesn't, they ignore it. >> it's wrong, it's corrupt. it's not what journalism is supposed to be. >> that's the important point that it's not what journalism is really about. that's important. >> when i was at cbs and abc, i didn't know who was ledge just and who wasn't. i was a hard news reporter, i was running around. i didn't have spend a lot of time in the office religion never came up. i never told anybody that i was catholic that i went to mass. i never told anybody and nobody told me. don't ask, don't tell situation. was that your experience as well? >> it never came up because virtually nobody in the news room cares very much about religion. >> how did you know that? >> and by the way. >> how did you know that? >> because every -- i know that because i know they didn't go to church on a regular basis and they didn't go to synagogue on a regular basis.

and having written about this kind of thing for over 10 years now, i know that every poll that's ever come out journalists are not especially formal in a religious sense, religious people. why does that matter? and by the way, that's fine with me. i don't care what people are but when a story comes up about abortion, they don't understand what you said about a t. a minute ago. they don't understand that in catholic theology and in a lot of christian beyond catholicism, theology, life is sacred. all they know is that hey, we are for abortion rights, what's the big deal here? that's why people choop sort of balance things out a little bit in the newsroom. >> plenty more as the factor moves along this evening. stossel trying to buy a handgun permit in new york city. it's quite an ordeal. we will show you what happened. then, alex rodriguez suing major league baseball, the players' union and maybe the

>> it took hours and hours to fill out the forms. we had to call the police department six times to clarify what questions meant. finally, it was done. >> get this notarized go ahead and sign here and i will fill in the rest. >> then, you have to go in person to police headquarters. here, they fingerprinted me, asked me to list reasons why i should be allowed to have a gun. and then they charged me a $430 application fee. they said they would get back to me. >> and then in the end stossel didn't get the permit, right? >> that's right. >> i wouldn't give it to you either, just looking at you you didn't get it after you went through all of, this right? >> i thought the supreme court said we have a right to keep and bear arms. >> you have a legitimate reason for wanting it. >> people have threatened me. >> i do every week. >> you threaten me every week but you don't threaten to kill me he. >> behind your back i do.

you had a legitimate reason. you went through. you paid the 430 bucks. you file it. you are a professional. they turned you down, why? >> you haven't demonstrated a special need. these threats you are showing us, i have a myspace page where someone wanted to kill me and i showed them samples. but you didn't report these to the police. >> oh, so they were looking for a reason not to give it to you. >> that's right. i can afford the 430 but if you are a poor person that can't take the time off work to go twice and spend hours here. >> they want to make it as hard as humanly possible, right? >> right. >> that's the philosophy here in new york city. there are other states where you don't even need a permit. >> in five states, vermont, alaska, arizona, wyoming, i forget the fifth anybody can carry a concealed handgun. there is no more crime in those states. >> so, in those states that you mentioned. carry it anywhere you want to go. >> no schools but generally speaking if you have a gun on you the cop pulls you

over for speeding and you have a gun you are not charged with anything? >> that's right. >> there are states like new york and other states like illinois where it's almost impossible to get a gun. >> and mostly the three cities. washington, d.c., chicago, and new york city. i mean, 50 pages. and there is lots of crime in those cities. but, i mean, the obstacles. you are supposed it know the desks of things like gravity knife. ballistic knife. kung fu star. it's obstacle course to make it hard for people. >> you are a libertarian. do you believe that the five states that allow anyone to carry with no paperwork should be the 50 states? do you believe that should happen? or should there be some regulation? >> certainly if you are a ex-con. if you are a felon, if you have mental problems that have been clearly demonstrated. we there is no more crime in

' back of the book segment tonight, can governor chris christie make a come back after the bridge scandal? today in trenton he gave his state of new jersey address and he was kind of contrite. last week has certainly tested this administration. mistakes were clearly made and as a result we let down the people we are entrusted to serve i know our citizens deserve better. much better. >> here now to analyze the governor going forward, monica crowley and alan colmes. colmes, can he make a come back? >> yes, of course. i certainly think he can depending upon what else might come out about. this if it turns out there is further retribution and turns out he actually did know about this, then he has a problem. >> sure he can he. >> let's assume he was telling the truth, monica. that's what i said. fair amount of people guy gets out there like that and says i didn't know about it

no matter if you don't like him, do you like him, whatever, if he is going to put his whole life on the line, which is what you do when you go out and say i didn't know about it, okay? you put your whole life on the line. fair minded people will believe him. if he lied, he is done. we all know that. >> right. >> that's why the polls on christie are no good because they have big. if, if useless, why bother? however, is he damaged in some precincts. is he not? >> well, let me say. this i think that he built a reputation for being a straight talker and a straight shooter and that's what he he did over the last week, right? so i think to some extent it it does help him. what hurts him is this idea that he has surrounded himself with maybe some thugs and bullies that carried out some orders whether or not it came from him and that that might damage him because he has this reputation for being above board, you know, total straight shooter and totally honest. so that might chip away at the image a little bit. on the other hand, this could toughen him up. this could harden the guy because, what should occur to chris christie is that

president obama is not his friend. the democrats aren't his friend and the media aren't his friends. they will never be his friends. >> the conservatives aren't. >> they are all over him, you know, the hard right doesn't like christie at all. they don't want any part of him. they were rooting for his well,. he knows what the other side is capable of, even members of his own side, he could go into the 2016 race a more formidable form. >> unless hillary clinton runs for office this is going to be another emotional election like barack obama, polarizing. at this point pretty much everyone's made up their mind about hillary clinton, either you like her or you don't. a lot of people like her. she does very well in the favorability of polling. the only thing the republican challenger can do is go after her and say that she is a hollow pant suit.

>> that's going to be very tough, especially if it's a man running against hillary clinton. >> of course. christie is the most capable of -- i shouldn't say that cruz, they can get tough. >> remember what makes it tough? you're running against another first. in 2008 the first black candidate, now you're running against the first woman it complicated the race. >> i think what they're doing to christie with bridge gate they did with hillary clinton with benghazi. we're three years away, if you wanted to go after christie with this, this could be easily forgotten by 2016. >> that's right, this is just bad staffers, and we've all had them. we've all had bad staffers. i've been lucky in 18 years i've

only had about five bad staffers. everyone has them. >> he's known as a hands on guy. >> i'm a hands on guy, you can't read minds. >> and you can't control everybody who's under you. >> his job approval is still nearly 60% in new jersey. nationally, 60% of american voters say this has not changed their view of chris christie. we'll see if that holds. >> if christie doesn't come back, say he makes another mistake, all right? skip the -- i'm done -- it's not a wish, it's -- if he does. who in your mind is the front-runner for the republican party. >> i think their best chance would be jeb bush? >> how about you? >> i'm not sure jeb bush can make it through a republican primary? >> why not. >> he's perceived too moderate. you have a clintonian problem with the bush family.

you want a fresh face. this is hillary's problem as well. she's been in the public eye for 20 years now. but they want a fresh face. >> who's your pick? >> i like ted cruz. >> really? >> not going to happen. >> i think he's a hell of a smart guy and could give everyone in the gop a run for their money. >> and he has to show his birth certificate. >> there you go. factor tip of the day. a viewer has a money saving suggestion for everybody. a tip you don't want to miss moments away.
