tv   The O Reilly Factor  FOX News  July 31, 2015 8:00pm-9:01pm PDT

8:00 pm
2016 stops right here in this studio. as always thank you for being with us. we hope you have a great night. a special edition of the oe"the o'reilly factor" is on tonight. >> this grotesque level of inequality is immoral, it is bad economics. >> income inequality. hillary clinton making it the centerpiece of her campaign and many americans are sbieg the belief that the united states is an unfair country. tonight we'll tell you the no-spin truth. >> bill o'reilly says it -- >> another nasty piece of deceit. tonight how some dishonest people are trying to tell the world that america is a racist country. bernie goldberg and i will analyze. >> it's an enormous challenge and we have to fight it on every
8:01 pm
front including front of social media. >> incredibly nancy pelosi believes that fighting isis on the net should be a priority. that's how screwed up this entire terroristic war is right now. >> caught. you're about to enter the no spin zone. quick the "the factor begins right now. hi. i'm bill o'reilly. tonight, pardon the allergies. is your country unfair too you about money? memo. as you may know hillary clinton is trying to put together a coalition that will elect her president of the united states. her strategy is two-fold. telling americans they're being treated unfairly across the board and cob vincing working class americans that the deck is
8:02 pm
stacked against them in the market place. if mrs. clinton can persuade folks who don't earn a lot of money and vote for her en masse she may win, but what is the truth about so-called income inequality? first the accusation. >> this grow test level of inequality is immoral, it is bad economics, it is unsustainable. this type of rigged economy is not what america is supposed to be about. this has got to change. >> now, it should be note thad mr. sanders is a socialist who does not believe in capitalism. he essentially wants the federal government to regulate the private sector providing money andcy stace tans to those who are not competitive that. is the play here to convince americans that market competition is bad, unfair, it's a rigged deal. sadly that message is gaining currency pardon the pun.
8:03 pm
a poll asked can anyone get ahead in today's economy. 35% believe anyone can prosper. 61% say just a few people at the top can advance. question two do, you feel the distribution of money and wealth in this country say it's fair? 35% believe it is 61% believe. 71% favor it 26% oppose. what the poll dell straights is americans are buying into the dangerous proposition that the golf should control the flow of money. that the feds should decide who gets once. that goes against how america was founded. the free market dictates what you make, not the feds.
8:04 pm
here's the truth. the capitalistic system in the usa is tough but it's not rigged. we're living in a changing world where you must have a skill in order to make money. and you must understand technology not labor drawing economy. many of those jobs have gone overseas and there's nothing the feds can do about that. what the left will never, ever tell you because of all this income inequality stuff that's designed to give votes is that it is largely up to you the individual american to do what's necessary to make money. step number one. you have to get educated. that doesn't mean you have to go to college. but if you don't you have to know how to fix stuff or perform
8:05 pm
some service people need and you have to be good at it. if you want to be a plumber, you'll make good money if you're efficient. if you want to be in con striks again, you'll make money but you've got to know what you're doing. the problem is many believe they can slack off in school and then somehow show up in the workplace and make big money. pipe dream. again, you must have a skill and you must have some kind of education, just go out to the mall this weekend. sit in a chair. watch how people behave. millions of americans cannot speak english. their concentration is so short they can't read a book or magazine article. they speak in crude ways. sometimes they can't understand simple directions. how many of us have called a takeout place and had to repeat
8:06 pm
the order five times. american students in public schools are not being held to account generally speaking. the smart kids prosper, the lazy kids are passed just to get them the hell out of school. what's going to happen to them lazy kids? >> they're going to be poor. they're going to become victims of inincome inequality. millions are fine. their children are dominating and they're being admitted to finer colleges and universities in numbers way out of proportion tore their population. why? maus asian parents impose strict discipline on their kids. senator sanders knowing that but he'll never admit individual achievement is the only way to
8:07 pm
economic success in america. if he did admit it. it's designed to get woos. hillary clinton knows talking points speak the truth but she needs the bow was points to get elected. she's selling the myth. people who are frustrated about their own lack of success. the great thing about america. you can acquire the skills to make money. in a moment we're going to talk to a pro football who just completed college and had the opportunity to play in 1974. dishonorent politicians will never say that. according to the cbs poll millions of americans are not buyially a personal story.
8:08 pm
i group up on lever intown long island. all of them under the same or circumstance serkset not much money. all of us had a decision to make after high school. do we go to college or get a job. those who chose college are generally making a good lives. those who chose blue collar jobs are doing as well. accomplishes car saleses minnesota, but they're not going to make the kind of money i'm making. i have two master's degrees, one from harvard, and i earned the money to pay for those degrees myself. yet i start out the same way as the kids in levittown, disadvantages and advantages. i chose my own packet. i knew my packet could lead to
8:09 pm

8:13 pm
yeah. paid child care. people who have trouble taking care of their kids. those are things i think the federal government can do. but when you talk about equalizing what we all make i'm thinking of the movie dr. zhivago. are the come sars going to come in and say you're going to move in and others are going to. that wouldn't happen. you need the free market system. one quick anecdote in this regard bill. i remember ronald reagan. i covered him when he was president and he told the story how in the 1940s the top marginal tax rate was 90%. 9 cents on the dime. when they came to him and said do you want a make a new movie, he said i'm not going to make a rate where 90 cents goes to you,
8:14 pm
10 cents go to me. >> what worries me is the gullibility of the american public because now we're seeing in that poll a majority of the people want the government to regulate the salaries of ceos which is clearly unconstitutional and basically doll out the goodies is what sanders is saying and to some extent hillary clinton as well. look. you're not going to have people working in fast food in car washes valet parkers making money that white collar workers are going to make. that ain't going to happen. but somehow millions of americans believe government can take from the white collars and give to the car wears and that would create an unbelievable chaotic environmental in our economy. >> this is going to be a subject that you're going hear a lot of on the 2016 campaign.

personal story tonight as we mentioned in the talking memo.
8:19 pm
it's never to late for americans to prove themselves in the marketplace. case in point, hall of famer bobby bell who achieved his college degree at the age of 74. so mr. bell 56 years, you go back to get your college degree. why? >> the reason i went back is because i promised my dad that if i went to the university of minnesota and they gave me a scholarship that i was going to get my degree up there, and i've about been putting it off, bill for a long time. for some reason last year i said hey, i am going back to school. >> so you left the university of minnesota to play pro football. you were 13 credits short of graduating. >> i got drafted by the kansas city chiefs.
8:20 pm
i was missing some credited. i went on "the ed sullivan show," johnny carson shoerks i needed to go back and fin isht. >> all right. you did. >> yes. >> tell me about your father. he was a guy who lived in the segregated south in north carolina. he picked some kohn. he drove people around white people people. what was his attitude ottawa trd country, america. >> the whole thing is he taught me to love everybody. you've got to love everybody, and you treat people the way you want to be treated. my dad never went to school and i wanted to go off to school and do every opportunity i had. >> now, your mom and dad -- your mom and dad stayed together. they raised you and your brothers and sisters in the house. but you did haven't any money. you were pore. did your mom and dad tell you
8:21 pm
african-americans had a very tough history, it wasn't a fair society, particularly when they were chirp? did they tell you that? what did they say about their country? >> well they said we african-american you know we had our certain place. we couldn't eat in the restaurant and we couldn't go to the bathroom. we had separate bathrooms and waters and sfought tans. that's why i remember my dad said, do the right thing. everything is possible. >> today when you talk to younger black males and you see in chicago and baltimore and other places you know the devastation -- >> you've got to realize that everything is different in different parts of the country. i realized that as soon as i went to minnesota. at that time it was like 2% blacks up there. you've got prejudices all over the country, you know.
8:22 pm
i went down that road. i just wish people could walk my trail, you know i came from north carolina bill and when i left my dad said if you get a scholarship for minnesota, you go up there. others said no, don't do it. my dad had a positive attitude mtd i tell african-american kids all the time gorks to school, learn everything you can, mind your parents. >> mr. bell, we really respect you. you're a patriot and you had a great career in both sports and business and we really thank you for talking with us tonight. >> why thank you, bill. next up, is america a racist

more videos from the antiabortion group behind the recent planned parenthood recordings. the under cover videos showing planned parenthood members speaking about m. now back to "the o'reilly factor." continuing coverage live all night long right here. demonizing america as a racist nation. that is the subject of this evening's "talking points" memo. it is an amazing thing to watch. the usa has gone from being the land of the free and home of the brave dominated by white supremacy. no longer is it white privilege. it's while supremacy. the idea that white americans are a actively trying to keep black americans down. that is what the far left is now
8:28 pm
putting out there largely unchallenged by a cowardly media. you hear the insane rhetoric on cable news nearly every night. it is an outrageous tower of babble. >> it's a white. it's what they do. their body and integrity more than people of color. >> is racism built into this country? is it in the hearts of many americans? >> oh i definitely think that's the case. >> i would like to know if the white churches in the country are hanging their heads in shame today. you know the shame isn't enough because they can't repent without restitution. when are we going to have reparation for slavery, for jim crow for the new jim crow. unless you give back there is no forgiveness for you. >> i'm deeply afraid we're still as a country mired in prejudice and racism. >> the problem is we can't
8:29 pm
alleviate these types of problems if we don't get at the source of the problem. the source is crazy people. it's white supremacy. >> once again it's being put on to the entire world. they're afraid to challenge it. they're afraid because if they do challenge they may be labeled anti-black bigots. the only tv network that does not accept the blatant dishonesty that america is a white supremacist nation is fox news and some of us on the channel get viciously attacked for standing up for the truth. last night on the web the yahoo! web service was brutal. yahoo! throwing this garbage out there with no balance, gives these smear merchants a worldwide platform. you rarely see any conservative
8:30 pm
points of view on ya hoomanawanui. yahoo!. the world of yahoo! news they koemt exist, yet every anti-fox statement jon stewart makes is headlined. it's disgraceful. so that's why these anti-american race bigoters view their specter with glee because of the downside of terrible ratings. as talking points has recorded there are anti-black bigots in america, of course, there are. but to say the entire country is defined by them is a gross lie. that would be like saying that african-americans are all defined by farrakhan with the black panthers. most americans no matter what color are decent fair-minded people but there are problems in the african-american precincts especially in the inner city.
8:31 pm
however, the problems have little to do with white people rather a corrosive culture that does not confront child neglect and anti-social bash on the streets. that's what's driving poverty and dysfunction. it's not white on black crime that's the problem. it's black on black crime that is causing social chaos. while the terrorist dylann roof is an embarrassment to america, he's the exception, not the norm. a racist who murdered nine people is a terrorist. thank god this kind of thing is rare in america. the truth is there's no organized effort to harm black people by white people. that doesn't exist here. the real racism is looking way from what is really harming black americans. the root cause of poverty. as talking points has reported
8:32 pm
over and of and over again that is the disillusion of the african-american family chaos on the streets in poor neighborhoods and an educational system that does not demand the same standards of achievement that are demanded in the white neighborhoods. in many schools if black students miss behechemisbehave, nothing is done. they promote them or get them the hell out of the school. that's racism. all americans should be treated the say way. the excuse that slavery, jim crow other other son-in-law injusts thes is how black americans should be treated is insane. barack obama a poor boar of mixed race rose up with little parental help and became president. did these anti-american folks who are exploiting chars ton miss that? governor bobby jindal a man of
8:33 pm
indian descent rose up to run for president and ben carson is also running for president and they have to t gal to say america is a white supremacist nation? fox news is attacked when we support the truth? you want a war you've got war i ooh not going to sit here any longer and take this began badge. people who lie and run the country down are going to be called out right here on the factor. in the next segment with bernie goldberg we'll call out an outrageous statement played by the nbc news. >> in america america remains the country that provides the most opportunity to the most people. that's why millions of folks are trying to get in here many of them people of color. american taxpayers fund

trillions of dollars worth of entitlements for pyre people. our harder and dollars are given to fm folks who need help and we're glad to do it. american businesses actively seek good competent minority employees. the american congress has passed law after law after law to make sure all americans have equal opportunity to pursue happiness. every country has racist elements within it. you're always going to have that. you're always going have terrible incidents like ferguson and baltimore and others. every state says the same thing. there's not an epidemic of racism in the united states of america. that's the truth and the lie yars who distort the record are now on notice. you will be held to account. and that's "the memo." next on the rundown, bernie
8:35 pm
goldberg will react. >> that's buy bashing america as a racist country because it makes t unbelievable! toenail fungus? seriously? smash it with jublia! jublia is a prescription medicine proven to treat toenail fungus. use jublia as instructed by your doctor. look at the footwork! most common side effects include ingrown toenail, application site redness, itching, swelling burning or stinging, blisters, and pain. smash it! make the call and ask your doctor if jublia is right for you. new larger size now available. here is a simple math problem. two trains leave st. louis for albuquerque at the same time. same cargo, same size, same power. which one arrives first? hint: it's not the one on the left. the speedy guy on the right is part of an intelligent system that creates the optimal trip profile for all trains on the line. and the one on the left? uh, looks like it'll be counting cows for awhile. so maybe the same things aren't quite the same. ge software.

from switching back to verizon, and so can you! verizon. come home to a better network. my constipation and belly pain feel like a raging storm. i've tried laxatives but my symptoms keep returning. my constipation feels like a heavy weight that keeps coming back. vo: linzess can help. once-daily linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements.
8:38 pm
linzess helps you proactively manage your symptoms. do not give linzess to children under 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include, gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. bottom line, ask your doctor about linzess today. gross dishonesty.
8:39 pm
>> you say the confederate flag is a symbol of hate. >> that's the way i feel when i see it. >> absolutely legitimate. for other people who see it in historical context. >> what's the historical context. >> what's historical. >> please know they did not say it symbolizes bravely. i didn't say that. i was paraphrasing what some merning believe in order to present both sides of the story. that's what we do here. enter the race hustlers who do what they always do. >> almost as soon as the backlash of the confederate flag got out of momentum. rush limbaugh railed. bill o'reilly says it represents the bravery of confederates who fought in the civil war. >> complete distortion. some believe and i clearly said
8:40 pm
the confederate flag represents to me oppression. now, the marketplace has spoken about the guy you just heard. he's the biggest failure in cable news. but the fact that he's allowed to distort day after day after day is troubling. joining us now from north carolina the purveyor mr. goldberg. let's take the talking points memo first. do you agree with me that america is now being besummer. ed in an almost unprecedent way? >> yes, by the hard left. i'm afraid you're absolutely right. there's a certain way liberal elite show how virtualist they are. it makes them feel better about themselves. that way they can say we're for the underdog we're fighting white oppression or white privilege or now white supremacy. it's what has been called -- they're showing good racial
8:41 pm
manners. now, look. as you said in a country of over 300 million people, are there some racists? unfortunately yes. but this is not a racist country or anything like that. progressives amuse me because they don't progress. they're stuck in the past. this is not the same america as we were in 1965. that was 50 years ago. we have change for the better and we have changed a whole lot. >> that's what the stats say. we've reported in a vivid way that shows there isn't an epidemic of white against black violence. there isn't an epidemic of ill will toward blalks from whites. that's just a fact. but some believe and now i'm using the confederate flag, some believe that the progressive movement to diminish america and label it a racist nation is
8:42 pm
political because then they can mobilize blacks and other minorities to vote for the left and tie in republican white guy s or a rb black guy with the supremacists you know. some believe it's a political play here. do you see it that way? >> if it's a political play i think it's a bad, bad move because let's first take why it should be a political play. liberals see the answer to almost everything in government. so if they can say this is a racist country well what's the solution? more government. more money. more trillions spent on programs that very often don't work. but the reason i say i don't think it's a good political move is because, yeah the far left is going to believe we're racist and conservatives -- by the way that's who they're calling
8:43 pm
racists. let's not pretend it's some vague charge. >> anyone associated with the republican party even if you're a moderate they'll call you a racist. >> that's right. so one side the conservatives aren't buying it and the hard left you're not going to change their mind. i think there's a reasonable middle in this country. i don't think they're going to buy this because in the last few years since president obama got elected. if you're against immigration reform you're a rafts. if you're against obama care you're a racist. if you're against higher taxes on the wealthy, you're race iflt. if you're as you and i have discussed previouslyin posh earth
8:44 pm
poverty, you're a racist. >> the far left hope they can overwhelm with propaganda, overwhelm the truth. ahead in the talkinging us your aching and sleep deprived. bring us those who want to feel well rested. aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid... plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. be a morning person again with aleve pm.
8:45 pm
8:46 pm
my name is jamir dixon and i'm a locate and mark fieldman for pg&e. most people in the community recognize the blue trucks as pg&e. my truck is something new... it's an 811 truck. when you call 811, i come out to your house and i mark out our gas lines and our electric lines to make sure that you don't hit them when you're digging. 811 is a free service. i'm passionate about it because every time i go on the street i think about my own kids. they're the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then i'll drive it every day of the week. together, we're building a better california.
8:47 pm
war and peace in the usa, that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. in washington bad things are occurring. as america's power overseas is in free-fall decline. the worst situation, war on terror. isis sashages are creating war overseas. even though barack obama promised to downgrade it that has not happened.
8:48 pm
they've murdered thousands of people creating chaos wherever it goes. in fact there are very few victories on war on terror. isis controls about a third of the country. libya yarks no functioning government nigh year. isis is aiding boco haram. meantime iran is gaining power throughout the middle east. iran now the only power inside iraq that is actually putting up a fight against isis. in the meantime president obama's acolytes continue to insist they have a handle on the terror system and isis in particular. >> we have to fight it on every front including front of social media. that is place where they've really made more advances than you would have suspected and that is where we have to fight them as well. >> so while isis is burning human beingings alive, nancy
8:49 pm
pelosi is worrying about the social media aspect of the struggle. also we're not confronting isis on every front. we're not fighting them on the ground. as usual nancy pelosi is living on n the land of oz. she has no blanking crew. harry reid. >> it's tough situation. the president has done the best he can with the tools that he was given by the constitution and what congress has allowhood time do. >> are you kidding me? there are many on congress poujding the table. so here we have the three most powerful democrats in the nation, mr. obama, employee circle and reid all saying varying things that make no sense at all. now, the unintended consequences. president obama likes to point to a 16-nation coalition who has report lid signed up to confront
8:50 pm
isis. outside of taking up a few bojing missions, there's little sign. maybe germany, italy have noticed the millions of people the middle east. many of them fleeing terrorism. much generated by isis. as thousands drown in the mediterranean sea, the leaders of the european union fiddle imitating nero too corrupt or incompetent to do anything. the world is changing. the jihad is advancing yet the 60-nation coalition is as impotent as any group. there isn't enough viagra in the world. as american power reseeds abroad tyrants like vladimir putin take advantage. this is an example of president obama's weak foreign policy. john kerry promised putin sanctions would be lifted if he promised to stop seizing more
8:51 pm
territory. that must have delighted vlad the invader as he saw the usa desperately trying to appease him. putin will take whatever kerry gives him and do whatever he wants knowing europe and north america are too afraid too soft to stop his activities. same thing with china. a country seizing territory that doesn't belong to it and developing the mille tear in a dramatic way. china seeks to dominate southeast asia and understands it can now expand without any consequence from the west. so this is a perfect storm of waebness. not only is the usa reluctant to use its power but nato and other western countries don't want to confront evil oath. the evil doers are on the march. talking points is aghast that the american foreign policy is so bad. we can no longer police the world but we can use our
8:52 pm
