5:01 pm
on why the secular progressive movement fears jesus so much. >> i'm giving you the chance to change your life. >> 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. more destruction in america. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. last night we chronicled how the grievance industry, which is being used as a political weapon by the democratic party causing trouble on a number of fronts. if you missed the memo, it is posted on bill o'reilly.com. well, right on cue, another disgraceful exhibition. after their basketball team won the national championship, some students at the university of connecticut ram paged causing destruction and putting other students and police at risk. 35 people arrested. 20 of them uconn students.
5:02 pm
at the university of kentucky which lost the game a similar scene, mindless vandalism. contempt for authority, 18 people hurt. multiple arrests. there is no political component involved. the mayhem is happening because of a breakdown of respect for property and authority. the main driver of the destructive mind set is grievance and intaltsment. the u.s.a. is now being portrayed by powerful people as an unfair country that oppresses minorities, women, the poor and so on. that message is sinking in. thus, disrespect is rising. the primary grievance right now is allege inequality. progressives selling the myth that folks cannot get a fair shake in america bowers the system is rigged against most citizens. the left-wing media legitimizes that nonsense and one of the biggest mouth pieces for the progressive movement is stephan coal -- colbert. only about 1 million people watch his program.
5:03 pm
he is the darling of the far left internet which what happen so rhapsodizes. >> why is our nation in decline? tonight can i can give you this. equality is what is hurting president obama. the left has seized that word equality to push its progressive agenda. we have income equality. marriage equality, gender equality and on and on and on. >> yes, income, marriage, gender, on and on and on and yes, those last three don't mean anything? but they don't mean anything equally. [ laughter ] and bill laid out why fighting for equality is pointless. >> the truth is there will never be equality in this world. it's impossible. an opium-laced dream. >> yes. i believe that's what dr. king was talking about in his i have an opium-laced dream speech.
5:04 pm
>> but mr. colbert is a deceiver. i strongly believe in fighting for equality and also believe institutional bias should be against the law. what i oppose is government trying to impose equality you because every human being is different. maybe colbert should take a look at china and the former soviet union to see just how the imposition of equality really works. maybe colbert should understand that dr. king gave his life for equality of opportunity. and his dream was that human beings would be judged by the quality of their character. something mr. colbert might want to think about as he deceives his audience. like many ideological fanatics colbert is misguided in the extreme. ast analysis under the guise of comedy. is he a believer playing exclusively to other believers. colbert can be dismissed as clueless but the guy does do
5:05 pm
damage. because he gives cover to powerful people who are selling americans a big lie. that this country is bad. that it intentionally oppresses many of its own citizens. that is a lie. that point of view is shameful. america is not perfect but we set the gold standard for opportunity in this world. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction with us, monica crowley and alan colmes both fox news analyst and you say, colmes. >> i say there is a grievance industry. people upsit that their taxes are too much. they are giving money to the poor. people on food stamps they don't like paying for schools that they don't use. angry that demographically going to become a nonwhite country by the year 2014. >> you say conservative grievance. >> that's the grievance industry as i see it. >> us ba he they're reacting to changes in the country. >> yes and they can't accept them. >> you see a conservative grievance but not liberal. >> i don't see that as
5:06 pm
grievance. fighting for equality and gay marriage. >> not that people that oppose that it's just that we have imposition. colmes, president obama today and i want to play the sound bite in a moment said that there is income inequality. i ran a house painting business to put myself through college to get myself through college. i had employees. the ones who painted the most were paid the most and the others were paid less because they didn't do as much work. yet, they all came at the same time. they all left at the same time. so, i really was practice income inequality, am i not. >> we are not talking. not as good as the other person, we are talking about equal pay for equal work there. >> isn't such thing as equal pay for equal work. >> everybody does a job some do it better than others. there is no equal pay for equal work. >> some comep tators are saying that the pay back doesn't even exist. they say it's a myth. but it's not a myth.
5:07 pm
it's math. you can look at the paycheck. can you look at the stub. >> we did look at the paychecks for white house personnel and men are paid 12% more than women and you say? >> yeah. about $9,000 more. >> yeah, at the white house under president obama. >> if you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, the left has been using the grievance industrial what i call actually classifying huge swathes of people, them as victims in order to do the hurt and rescue mission. which is casting you as a victim. keeping you in that victim hood and proposing that government can only solve your problems. that justifies ever growing government. you have these growing classes of victims. women in this case oh you are not being paid equally which is a giant myth by the way. this shout democratic party keeps the constituencies going. >> that's what they're doing. now it is in full blossom. now, colmes, isn't it a little shake iny that president obama says what just
5:08 pm
said while his white house is not equal pay for equal work. >> yes he should. >> here is what is wrong. men being paid are have been there longer. >> >> we are talking about the same job. >> listen to me. read my lips. when you work longer at a certain job, you make more money. >> comparisons have been done that show people at the same level, vice presidents of corporations, people in certain jobs get the general disparity. women do not get the same amount of money as men do for the same jobs. >> the studies in the data i have seen there is always a reason for that since there is a federal law in place you can put a hurt on a corporation. >> leftist feminists true discrepancy in the case of discrimination. yes, women may tend to make less money than men generally speaking. that's because all these other variables having to do with their choices,
5:09 pm
education, seek out fields of study that pay less than men do. men work longer hours. >> do you believe that america is unfair nation. >> in some ways. we are finally moving to marriage equality, and moving toward income equality and gender apostle for some ways we are. >> no you are saying we are bad? >> >> not at all we are a great country. >> this constant harping as what you sees a unfairness undermines people's respect for authority and their country? would you cede that? >> we should question authority. i think it's very healthy to question authority. libertarian wing. >> questioning is not the same as burning downed. >> demi lovato civil rights act. there was obvious, obvious injustice going on there. you get the last word. he is he shall live income equality, the opposite of
5:10 pm
that is income owe quality. that's what is called communism. it's it's human nature were. >> here alberto line, co-bay and i both did a nationally syndicated program. i'm paid 8 times for man he is. do you know why? do you know why? >> have you been doing it longer. >> oh, no, no. i have been doing it longer. all right? i'm going to leave to you answer that question. >> more time on the job. >> because of your good looks, bill o'reilly. >> what else can be part of it. next on the rundown, putin causing even more trouble. we'll have the latest on this villain. and later two big political stories will congress hold former irs official lois lerner in contempt. attorney general eric holder grilled about alleged abuses of power. factor will be right back.

5:14 pm
in the impact segment tonight. more trouble by putin. occupying building in ukraine. no reason at all. obviously trying to provoke an incident so russian troops will cross the border. meantime ukraine's parliament communist politicians started a brawl again inciting violence to give putin another excuse to invade ukraine. there they are. there are communist politicians still around. secretary of state kerry is warning russia. >> russia's clear and unmistakable involvement in destabilizing and engaging in separatist oocket tifts in the east of ukraine is more than deeply disturbing. no one should be fooled and believe me no one is fooled. >> joining us now from washington, fox news chief strategic analyst lt. colonel ralph peters. so, a meeting next week between kerr i can't understand the russian
5:15 pm
foreign minister. what do you think is going to happen? >> nothing. as wild bill shakespeare put it. nothing comes of nothing. putin, he is such a chopper, cool customer. this guy by agreeing to these talks next week, is he basically given us a lollipop to suck on while he robs the candy store. you know, putin and his right-hand man russian foreign minister sergei lavrov, they realize kerry has no authority and obama no courage. i think putin, who is a sharp judge of character, bill, has sized up obama on this as obama really doesn't care about ukraine, it's annoyance to him, distraction. kind of like his attitude towards israel. he just wishes it boo go away. >> so you believe that putin is going to invade ukraine because, if that happens, president obama will be forced to act and act in a very strong manner. he will be forced to do so.
5:16 pm
i strongly disagree. obama will impose sanctions that will wither within a year or two. putin knows it it putin would rather gain his ends without military action. buff he doesn't have auto thousand relatively elite troops on the border for nothing. he is not staging these provocations and they are provocations in the areas for nothing. and, oh, by the way, i tell your viewers out there that, you know, the media is portraying these as mass demonstrations. the biggest pro-russian demonstration has been 1500 people. these are hired thugs, putin security people. there are a few die hard pro-russia old come my types. putin wants, in fact, he feels he needs picturesque blood shed. deaths of ethnic russians. some blood on the streets and then he will pull the trigger that provocation the one he can flash up pictures of is going to be his excuse to go in the eastern
5:17 pm
ukraine. putin doesn't shrink from any action to get what he's. and we have no leader capable, nowhere in the entire west do we have a leader capable of standing up to this ruthless, ruthless man. >> a couple of observations interesting. i have been doing this program 18 years. no unrest in ukraine. no persecution of russian nationals or russian speakers. this just happened offer the olympics. just suddenly popped up. so, come on, it's a contrived issue. we all know it. >> yes. >> crimea is gone. russia now controls it so you firmly believe that putin is going to roll in but, see, i'm not so sure. because, once putin does that once he rolls in to eastern ukraine, invades this nation, then the west will be forced to being a. now, you may be right. it might be paper tiger stuff. it might be not effective,goinge forced to do something. and, you know, merkel and germany is going to be forced to do something. obama is going to be forced to do something here. and that will hurt putin
5:18 pm
because the russian economy is so shaky. so, i'm not so sure he is going to go. >> the europeans are whores and the americans are fools. he is pretty close to the mark on this. i want to repeat one thing. putin would once prefer to grab eastern than the rest of ukraine without military action. but he will not shrink from military action if that's what it takes. i'm looking at the may elections in ukraine. i think he feels he needs to move before that because the national elections in ukraine would legitimize the government. right now he is say oh the people in kiev, the government, they are coupe are noters, they are thugs, they are terrorists. he has a narrow window in his view. >> what is the election scheduled for? >> i think it's may 11. check the date. but it's in may. it's going to elect a new president. going to be a nationwide election, and, again, putin doesn't -- military force is
5:19 pm
not his preferred means but it's his ultimate means. >> only means he this is not going to get any part of ukraine without it ukrainians are not going to give up territory to putin. he will have to seize it. >> never underestimate. the elite in this country doesn't. he doesn't fit the. he is not kuth. he is not nice, he poses with his shirt off. he is the most brilliant, ruthless, powerful and capable world leader anywhere on the globe today. >> lrnt, determine, the election is may 25th for the recovered. >> may 25th, thank you. >> directly ahead, stossel on marijuana, data coming in showing major problems with legalized pot. we will debate it then is it legal on whether congress will cite former irs official lois lerner for contempt. those reports upcoming. you are feeling powerful with a 4-cylinder engine.

5:26 pm
stats and i don't think it has anything to do with marijuana. marijuana does not stimulate violent crime. >> right. the prediction was there is going to be all this drug crime and the criminals are going to come there. >> here is the only prediction that matters. mine, okay? and my prediction is that this is going to do two things, it's going to harm children because they will use it more because it is more available and it is going to cause more accidents on the roads. more duis, so that's my prediction. and that will come true. last word? >> the drug war is far worse, thousands of people dying, being murdered and that. >> yeah, okay. you know what in the drug war is always going to be there no matter how many substances you legalize. >> no drug war over cigarettes or beer. >> sure there is. they smuggle cigarettes into here all the time to it avoid the tax there is a whole bunch of underworld intrusion on that. >> much less. >> john stossel, everybody. there he is. plenty more ahead. factor moves along this

5:44 pm
room. >> she says no. >> no, shoots him dead. so now the movement says wait a minute, that girl is as responsible for the man who pulled the trigger for his death. >> the owe -- declined to charge because of the castle law. >> castle law which means you can defend your house. >> insufficient evidence. therefore any charge for accessory or asome police will fail as well. you can not have one charge without the other. another piece of fact of significance the father testified or told the authorities that the young man was reaching down like the pick up to get something lake he was in fear for his life. if you believe that and those facts, you can't bring a case against the dad. >> nor the daughter. >> no one to refute those facts because there is nobody else there in the room. >> there was no weapon found. >> there was no weapon found. >> if you are the intruder? >> the father thought this kid was answer triewrd. obviously he wasn't. that's on the girl. >> everybody should know in texas if you are in somebody's house. >> not just texas.

5:49 pm
this country's constitutional history. the sculpture of moses holding the 10 commandments hangs outside the supreme court to this very day. and there is a good reason for that. jing us now from washington fox news political analyst charles krauthammer. so, first of all, am i going awry in my analysis of jesus and the public schools? >> well, i'm not sure what the analysis is. if what you are saying is that that your book should be mandatory in the public schools, perhaps not. [ laughter ] >> my book, yes. your book, not so sure. >> doesn't have anything to do with books, you know. you read my talking points memo it has to do with teaching the urchins history. you can't teach the history of america by avoiding judeo-christian tradition and the impact it had on the framers. it's impossible. >> i'm all in favor of teaching history. i'm all in favor of teaching civics. i'm all in favor of teaching where the founders derived
5:50 pm
the principles that went into the declaration and then went into the constitution. and, for that, you would want to start with the greeks. you would want to go to the romans. you would do john lock. you would do the old testament, john locke, old testament, new testament and have a pretty good summary of how we got to where we are. if that's what you want to teach i'm all for it. >> i would pick it up with the 18th century and the british throwing off the king and basically becoming a democracy and then pick it up because that's the link. you know what i'm talking about here. if you bring in -- if you say the word jesus in public school you'll have somebody knocking on your door screaming separation of church and state. i mean, look. do you think the statue of moses holding the ten commandments can be erected in front of a federal
5:51 pm
building now? >> i wouldn't. when you say the wore jesus can't be used in public school it depends on what the context is. >> no it doesn't. >> yes. let me give you and example. under the first amendment you can teach about religion. you want to have a high school course on the history of religions and comparison religion, on the influence of religion on the american founding, on lincoln, his view, his understanding of divine justice and the civil war. that would be perfectly reasonable, and i don't think there would be any objection. the difference is -- >> why aren't we? >> we're not teaching anything. we're not teaching the civil war. we're not teaching the founders. we're not explaining anything. i looked at the ap exams my son had to write in high school. there's whole gaps of the history. they tell you in advance they will never ask about a battle or a date in the civil war. you go until 1860 and skip to reconstruction. a bit of a gap.
5:52 pm
>> but i submit to you that this case in west virginia that i cited where they took the picture of jesus which was hanging in a corridor for 20 years off the wall, there was no divinity there. it was just a picture of the man. all right. now i would have put a picture of moses next to him and a picture of mohamed maybe. i don't object to that. i believe public school has consciously said we're wiping out judeo-christian tradition, we're not going mention it, it's too much trouble and we don't want it and that what i think is happening. last word. >> look, i don't believe in what the zealots are doing. i don't like tearing stuff off the wall. but if you want your child to learn about god, i wouldn't mind -- i would not want my child be taught about the nature of god and divinity at my public school. >> we're not talking about that. >> well jesus is considered
5:53 pm
divine -- >> only by christians. >> right. >> you know it forged the constitution, they did use the traditions and the history of judeo-christian philosophy. >> bill, if i have the last word i would say we agree on this. there's nothing wrong with teaching in the context of the founding. jesus if you like in the context of the founding. the only difference is under the first amendment you teach about religion, and its influence on history and philosophy. but you do not teach religion itself. if you want that you go to your parents, you go to your school, private school, a parochial school or a church but not the public school. >> charles as always thank you. tip of the day an amazing charitable story that many of you made possible. the tip, moments away.
