us. see you again tomorrow night here at 7:00 p.m. eastern. up next "the o'reilly factor." 9:00 p.m. fox business network. good night from washington, d.c. see you tomorrow night. bernie goldberg and i have some thoughts. also ahead, president obama

takes two legal hits his immigration order is still deny. and the little sisters of the poor. are going to the supreme court. >> well, seems like your prayers have been answered. caution, you're about to enter the no-spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> hi i'm bill o'reilly thank you for watching us tonight. the rise of fascism on american college campuses. a hallmark of facist societies is the denial of free speech. and now that's happening on some college campuses. at the university of missouri president timothy wolf and chancellor bowen loften have resigned because some students say they didn't do enough about alleged racism. no question that unruly students as mizzou as it's called are running wild.

>> i'm documenting this for a national news organization. yes, i can. this is a first amendment that protects your right to stand here and protects mine. >> i'm walking forward. i'm walking forward. >> you're pushing me. you're pushing me. >> i'm being pushed. >> you're not doing your job. >> it's our right to walk forward. i believe it's my right to walk forward. >> i'm media, can i talk to you. >> no, you into he had to get out. you need to get out. >> no, i don't. >> you need to get out. >> i actually don't. >> all right. hey, who wants to help me get this reporter out of here. i need some muscle over here. >> now that woman, you just saw, is a university of missouri professor. named melissa click. how disgraceful is that? at yale, hundreds of students march across campus to protest what they see as racial

insensitivity at the ivy league school. the march of resilience as the demonstration was called arose after yale intercultural affairs committee warned students not to wear quote racially insensitive halloween costumes. unquote. a yale administrator, erica kristakis who oversees a residence hall as an associate master objected to that memo saying it interrupted freedom of expression, her husband, also a yale employee then had to defend her from an onslaught of criticism. >> by sending out that email, that goes against your position as master. do you understand that? >> no i don't agree with that. >> then what the [ bleep ] did you accept the position? why the [ bleep ] hired you? >> i have a different vision than you. >> if that's what you think is being a master, you should step down. it's not about being an intellectual.

do you understand that? it's about creating a home here. you are not doing that! >> now, we have seen the rise of intolerance on american campuses for years. recently the president of the university of louisville had to apologize for this picture. he and his friends dressed in festive mexican garb for halloween. the picture was called racist by some on the louisville campus. so the next time gi into a mexican restaurant and somebody is wearing a sombrero i can cry racism? that's how absurd the whole thing has become. rush limbaugh made an interesting point on his radio program saying for years american college students have been taught that their country is racismist, a terrible place and now the students are acting out. the nutty college professors have reaped what they have sown. they are no doubt encouraged by groups like black lives matter and other radical concerns. the same thing happened during the vietnam war. when i was a senior at marist college i was walking to class

one day and was blocked by a radical student who told me no one would be going to class. ordinarily that would have been a big bonus for me. but because this guy was intruding on my freedom to make a decision it did not end well for him. i attended the history class, dr. peter o'keefe was glad to see me. there comes a point when freedom of speech, expression, movement and thought must be defended. we have reached that point now. get it yale? get it university of missouri? and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction joining us from washington charles krauthammer. you were a student during the vietnam era as i was, do you see parallels? >> you know what they say about the '60s? if you remember them you weren't there. but you got to remember that i went to college in canada. where the situation was radically different. but let's talk about what's happening today. what you're seeing now and i agree with you entirely. there's a kind of poetic

justice. universities the professors the administrators have for years now, decades, been feeding their students historical ignorance. political radicalism intolerance, and a sense of entitlement and victimization. and now it's all being thrown back in their faces. and as well the same as part of that package, for which the parents pay $30,000, $40,000 sometimes, is an idea of infant infantilizanion. this is my home you have to make me comfortable. i can't be upset about anything. if i'm upset i'm a victim of microaggression. now we get the spectacle of the dean the president, resigning as an act of supreme cowardice in the face of bullying, by students who have been soaked and seeped in this sense of

entitlement and victimization. what exactly is the crime he committed? why did he abjectly leave the scene, remember in the '60s, that same collapse of authorities, that same walking away hiding under their desks, happened at college after college. in the face of demonstrations. >> but it's different today. here's the difference. the sds, students for a democratic society, were the movers of intimidating the faculty back then. it was an organized movement and they were pretty vicious. now it's worse and here's why, if you're a minority student of any stripe at all, or in you're gay, or if you're a woman, or if you are any other type of human being other than a white male whenever life goes against you, on the college campus you can cry -- racism sexism whatever. whenever there's something you don't like all right and you alluded to that.

once it's the university's fault. if i'm flunking out, it's the university's fault. if i don't like my lunch, it's the university's fault. you give the white kid better food or whatever it may be. so that you have absolute anarchy. and fascism on these campuses. because if you go up against it then you're a target. you become a target. so everybody is scared. i think it goes simple identity groups. even white kids are marinaded in this culture that they themselves are, or their culture that they represent, is secretly or subtly or unconsciously racist and they join in the self-flajleation that what happened with the university administrators in missouri. and in yale you've got this preposterous memo that was sent out about wearing costumes -- >> i thought it was a national lampoon thing, that's how ridiculous the memo was. >> it said if you wear a

historical costume, make sure you're not in any way feeding false stereotypes. so i imagine that if you go around in a pirate costume, with a patch on your eye, -- making fun of visually-challenged people. >> let me make one point. you're distorting history, because if you did a poll of pirates, you would find that only a very small minority were missing an eye. >> look the sombrero picture, is halloween. they've got sombreros on is this racist? if it's racist i can't go to the mexican restaurants any more. >> well here's why i think it's it's this in the end will die out. >> tell me about the picture. do you see anything racist about this picture? >> we have a problem here bill. because i'm in washington and all i can see is my own mug. >> it's a bunch of people

adults with sombreros, all right, a few have mustaches and they're holding caracas. >> is the reference here to the three amigos? >> if you go to any mexican restaurant in the world, they come out and they're singing with the sombreros on. >> that's why i'm optimistic. in the end it could be a while. this thing has to die out. because it is so beyond the pale stupid. but between now and then, when you get the cowardice of the administrators this is now going to, in the short-term this is going to spread from campus to campus. because these guys will not pup put up even are protest let alone a fight. and if you're a student and you have a grievance and you want to get on television and show that you're match eh because you're not supposed to say that then do you this. >> it's a witch-hunting deal. just like salem was. they're going to point at

people. you're a racist you're a sexist. you don't want to be uncomfortable. it's just getting, it's not getting, it's out of control. we're going to hold charles over and talk about the big republican debate in less than an hour that's coming you. and bernie goldberg and i are appointing ourselves as fantasy moderators of the debate. the cold truth is... if a cold keeps you up at night you can't just catch up on sleep the next day. new alka-seltzer plus night cold & cough liquid relieves tough cold symptoms and quiets coughs for up to 8 hours... ...to help you sleep at night. new alka-seltzer plus night liquid. ♪ there are no medals won for earning a living. it's just what you do for family. but it's hard to build a future if you can't see past today. that's why walmart is investing in the most important part of our company - our people. because a raise in pay raises us all. ♪

ago in the prezsidential primary hunt howard dean led in the polls. eight years ago hillary clinton led barack obama by 23 points and rudy giuliani was atop the republican field. 2011 herman cain was the polling leader in the gop. re rejoining us from washington charles crownhammer. which candidate tonight is the most desperate? >> that's izeasy. jeb bush. he's lost three debates in a row. his numbers have plummeted. his supporters are really panicking, they're very upset. some of them are ready to bolt. so he's got to show something. the best would be if he had this moment the kind of moment that cruz and rubio had last time around. but bush is not a moment type of guy. so i think his second best chance right here is to play to

his strength. it is going to be about economics. it is going to be very different debate from the cnbc. they're going to try to make it substantive and this is where he's strong. so he may not be able to be theatrical which is what the primary race has been all about until now, the most theatrical showman leads. but i think if he can make a strong case for himself and come off just confident, somebody you can trust with the country, that would be a plus. he needs to stop the spiral downwards. >> do you -- if you're advising governor bush do you say, in addition to putting forth your economic vision -- all right -- do you denigrate any of the other candidates for their programs? >> historically speaking denigrating other candidates doesn't help. it usually hurts both candidates. >> trump has gotten away with it this year.

>> but trump is -- trump is a reality star playing a totally different game. nobody vets his statements. nobody cares if they are contradictory. nobody actually looks at the policies. he floats in a different stratosphere. i think that will change as we approach the actual voting. if you take him out of the equation i think other candidates are judged to some extent on their programs. the trump effect is that it's been largely about theater, personality and performance. but i think we're going to have a turn. eventually you got to talk about what are you going to do -- >> trump had a "wall street journal" article this week on his economic plan particularly china and the devaluation of their currency and what he would do. i think he himself understands what you're saying and is trying to turn it into substance. but let's face it two hours of watching people tell you about macro economics, people are going to just fall off the couch. you got to have some kind of

color, particularly in an age of anger, clarlsharles. >> look i don't think jeb is good at anger. he can pretend but it is pretty transparent that it's not. remember a couple of weeks ago he said he rooesentenceresents having to demonize others. who says you have to demonize others? he obviously doesn't like the game he's in, the game of presidential politics. i think his escape is to simply say i'm different. i'm not going to hurl insults and i'm going to tell you what i'm going to do. if he can do it in an engaging convincing way, this is a guy of some substance. i think his job is to halt the damage. >> he's got to stop damage and he's got the money to hang in. he's like at 4% and 5% in some polls now. if you slip any further he's done. any of the second-tier candidates -- it's like four and

four now. we've got carson and i don't know if they're going to give carson any questions about the stuff that's happened this week about his narrative and his biography. we've largely put that in perspective here on "the gaktfactor" that it's really small ball. do you agree? >> i agree entirely. the west point story is a. non-story. it is really overblown. >> all of them -- all of them if you go back and you look they might have been said or written imprecisely, but there's no scandal here. i wonder if they'll even nudge him a little bit on that. >> i think the nudge is going to trump if it comes from anybody. >> trump opens himself up because carson's going to be ready to hit him right back. >> that's the question with trump, does he have the discipline to do what is best for his candidacy or is he going to react viscerally. this is the guy who's nipping at his heels. this is a guy who could turn trump into a loser. loser is the worst thing that

can happen to him in the world. when he's running number two, how is he going to fill up the 90 minutes of his speeches where he talks about how great he is in all the polls? he a he got to stay number one. it's almost his calling card. so i think he sees carson as a threat. it will be interesting to see whether -- i think you're right, the best strategy is don't lay a glove on carson. this is a guy who was seen to be almost worshipped. that's likely to blow up in your face. >> charles, as always, we appreciate it. we'll see charles at 11:00 this evening because we'll have reaction right after the debate with a tremendous lineup. directly ahead, bernie goldberg and i would told you what questions we would ask if we were moderating the debate tonight. tonight president obama losing to the little sisters of the poor. fascinating story -- moments away. try free at dulcolaxoffers.com dulcolax® stool softner makes it easier to go comfortably. hurry! try free at dulcolaxoffers.com. dulcolax®. designed

let's get right to the purveyor of bernardgoldberg.com join something us from miami. fantasy debate like fantasy football. you and i are the moderators. let's throw a few specific questions out there to the eight people on stage. because i'm a generous guy, as you know you go first. >> okay. before the question to the specific candidates, my overall first question is to all of them. have you of you, other than dr. carson tried to hit your mother over the head with a hammer or stab a close relative with a knife in the privacy of your home? don't laugh. don't laugh, because you never know. i produce real news with that. what if kasich said "i did." all right. here's my first question. my first question is to rand

paul. it is to rand paul because he's spoken on a lot of college campuses. question is is the growing movement on a lot of college campuses not a new movement but it is getting stronger and stronger whereby liberal students are shutting down any speech or opinions they don't agree with. bill o'reilly and charles krahhimer saying these students are acting like infants. senator rand what would you say to these students who you've spoken to many times before and what would you say to the college administrators and zeents deans -- >> that's a little verbose. my question first one is to trump. okay mr. trump. you've said that you would defeat isis by taking their oil which means you'd have to put

american troops on the ground back in iraq. a lot of them to retake oil fields. do you have any other strategy to defeat isis? please be specific. good question? >> yeah. yeah. >> then you marginalize the oil thing. because if he is indeed going to seize oil fields that's 5,000, 6,000 infantry troops. >> i have a question for donald trump, also. and the reason i want to ask him this is because i don't think he's ever given this question a second's worth of thought. and it is as pithy as yours. the demographics are heavily weighted against republicans. the electoral college is heavily weighted against republicans. add to that the fact that the democrats want to expand the size of government and spend more and more money on more and more entitlements. given the fact that republicans can never outspend democrats,

given all those obstacles, how do you or any other gop candidate expect to win next year? >> any candidate would say, look and i'm going to goose the private economy, we'll create more jobs and more money. my next question would go to dr. carson it would be this, another very pithy question. you don't have any experience in running a business or a government. you have nothing as far as foreign policy on your resume. we just elected a president who had the same circumstance barack obama. it was a disaster. why would you be any different? good question? >> okay. yeah. bill these are good questions. but, you know you're not going to get an answer worthy of the question. >> then i have to go on stage. i'd have to go up there myself and say, "did you not hear me?" >> i know. the biggest problem you have

with the debates is that you can't ask the questions, and then run up and answer them. >> follow up on it. that is a big problem with the debates. there should be a buzzer you can hit that says "not answering the question." because you're right, they'll answer whatever they want to answer. they be everybody's sitting there. >> i have a question also for dr. carson and the reason i'm asking that frankly, it's because he's black. tell you that right up front. one of the big issues in the campaign dr. carson mostly on democratic side is inkoncome inequality. but one of the greatest reasons for income inequality is dysfunctional behavior. young girls having babies out of wedlock which often leads to poverty and income inequality. you have talked about this. the democrats won't talk about this. they refuse to. you have talked about this, but the other candidates on this stage have not. why do you think that is and do you think it has anything to do

with the fact that they're all white and that a lot of the problems of out of wedlock births are happening in minority communities? >> that's a provocative question. >> that's a provocative. the democrats won't touch it, but neither do most republicans. >> no they don't. they don't want to be branded a racist. goldberg will be back. he's going to go out for a little dinner -- come back at 11:00. big, big lineup tonight. see you then bernie. plenty are more ahead. as "the factor" moves along this evening for president obama. his reform on illegal immigration has been stopped cold again. stay tuned.

book honestly. there's been so many examples. when you look at missouri for example, a student says she's tireded of people using their first amendment rights to create an unsafe environment. this is the mentality that you have to on able to tolerate disagreement. >> i don't know what the unsafe environment is. i've been reading all the dispatches. i'm obviously not out on the campus in columbus missouri, i'm not at new haven at yale or boston at the crazy colleges up there. there are always going to be cooks -- >> i can explain it to you. what she's -- when she's talking about first amendment she's talking about people disagreeing. this is separate from the issue of why they're protesting in the first place. she's not talking about somebody saying something racist. she's talk about people disagreeing with what's going on. this is what happens on

campuses. what they're saying is creating an unsafe environment or hate speech is in fact condoleezza rice coming to their campus and speaking. >> an opposing point of view. >> that's what they consider unsafe. it is not that anybody is in any danger. >> it is oppressive to hear somebody with and opposing point of view. >> yeah. and they use the language of violence. they talk about it as if they've been actually physically attacked because somebody has expressed an opinion different than theirs. >> yeah their feelings are hurt but more importantly their ideology's been challenged usually. >> to politics. who's your favorite republican? >> i don't have a favorite republican. >> you don't like any of them? >> i don't -- you know i don't have a favorite candidate at all on either side really. >> is nobody in the field people -- there's eight people up there -- >> who do i think is the most impressive? i would say marco rubio. >> to you.

>> yes. i think marco rubio is the most impressive. py like jeb bush. i think he seems like a good man. i don't think he's been a particularly good candidate and i think the way he's trying to go after rubio is not helping him at all. >> what about ben carson? >> he seems like a nice man. i do not see him as somebody who could be president, should be president and i'm mystified by the fact there's so many people that seem to think he should be. >> they admire his value system and -- because we don't have very many values anymore in washington. i think that's what's propelling him. >> well i'm not saying i don't understand why people find him to be a compelling man. i understand that. that's different than thinking that somebody should be the president. i think that you need to have somebody -- what i would love to actually ask him is look. being a surgeon is very impressive no question. you've done incredible things at johns hopkins but how does that translate into running a massive bureaucracy? >> he has an answer for that.

all day long. >> he really does not have the skill set or experience to do that. you know i'm not a donald trump fan but at least what you could say about donald trump he's run businesses. >> that was my question for goldberg but i think dr. carson would tell you that what he has accomplished shows discipline and whatever -- so he could run the government. i'll let him speak for himself. i think that question might well be asked. when we come right back bad legal news for president obama. or legal team on the case moments away.

thanks for staying with us. in a 2-1 decision on monday the 5th circuit court of appeals based in new orleans upheld a texas federal judge who blocked president obama's executive action which would pretty much give 4 million illegal immigrants amnesty. obviously that's a setback to the president. with us now, attorney and fox news analystses, kimberly gilfoyle. >> look obama administration

you've exceeded your authority to make such a sweeping change, a. b, you didn't follow the proper procedures for getting this through. there is a time limit where you say to the states hey, what do you think about there? they get to comment and note. >> they give states enough time -- >> enough time. they exceeded their authority. >> is this a conservative appeals court down in new orleans? >> well yb yes, decision was made 2-1 by two conservative justices prior bush appointees. basically to sum up this case in my opinion it is a case of overreach by the president of the united states because only congress should have the ability to change illegal immigration status. >> i would think that most people watching tonight -- and a good number of legal scholars would agree that there is an overreach. however, however, we are in such a political time now -- you saw that with obamacare. there's no way on earth that obamacare is constitutional.

it is not. it is an imposition by the federal government. enormous program that force rz people to do certain things that they might not want to do and now it is all unraveling. back to this this goes to the supreme court now. right? >> the administration has appealed -- >> i didn't understand that. the administration is appealing -- >> to the supreme court. straight to the supreme court. >> but appeal directly. >> there you have ideologues and that's where there's going to vote. again kennedy the swing vote guy. >> right. that's what it's going to come down to. >> we don't really have a fair constitutional justice system anymore. it is all about ideology liberals want it they'll vote and find a way. >> this is all about the president being able to impose this executive action before he leaves office. >> he'll never get it through and that's what he does. if i were elected president, next president i go in with executive orders all day long and unravel this other stuff.

>> you know why? because the precedent has been established. >> i had the school systems of notre dame so i bear no grudge against the little sisters of the poor. >> i had the tersesisters of mercy. this is interesting. the supreme court agreed to hear this new case on contraception and religion. earliyer we heard they went into the hobby lobby case. this is a non-profit. >> little sisters of the poof run facilities that are non-profit. they don't want obamacare because it mandates birth control. >> correct. they are objecting on religion objection. however, this is going to be problematic. the obama administration was concerned about going forward because they do pose a sympathetic plaintiff. these sweet little nuns. >> they're good people. >> they are interfering with our religious freedom and ability to

do this. >> i think it will be a problem for the court, pt administration has said if you want to opt out, sisters, that's fine. just fill out -- >> they let the opt out on the individual but not on the non-profit. >> yes, they have. they could opt out if they just fill out the form. the sisters don't want to fill out that form. >> they said it still imposes an undue burden on their religious freedom to force them to comply by filling out this form that's against their religious objection. zblrm they could just say sisters, just fill out the form. >> that's not an undue burden. >> ladies thank you. hillary clinton on deck. she's not going to be here but i bet you she wishes she is. is she being scrutinized by the media? as much as the republican candidates? then the tip of the day on starbucks, coffee cups and

up. they were not in the least bit biased and very open to the question set. i was very happy with the number of touches. i think you do need a strong quarterback. i expect neal will be that tonight but it is great to be a wide receiver on that set and i'm coming >> do you sit around? do you have people on the stage and you're asking questions to them? is that how they did it over there? >> yes, indeed, we've got a lot of people to play a lot of different kant dats. you try out questions and you see if it works. a lot of them are clungers. and i'll add mid this to the world. i had a lot of stuptid yeses that would have fallen flat. now, not being able to be programmed because i'm a salem guy and i value, and i respected, as you would, the input of television professionals and say that doesn't work really well. >> did you write your own questions? >> did you write your own questions? >> yeah. >> you did. >> they had a question, well, if

we had run out of time -- >> the question we'll? it sounds like a good game show. wleel of questions. well i'd like to play it with you, bill. >> you win. hugh. i don't know anything. you know that. okay. your book is basically saying hillary is going to win. is that what you really believe? >> so she had been a favorite. and if these debates don't help the republican select someone has the perfect skill set to take her on. she's getting an easy ride right now, bill. last week, two stories about hillary clinton. the release over nondisclosure and the reuters report the firm that employs all sorts of her friends and her husband's friends and is tied up with the corruption that swirls around the clinton foundation they blew off the senate judiciary committee. >> it's a kind of small mall for television and it's just more of the same. who do you think on the

republican side is best equipped to take her on? >> i don't know. i have to wait and see these debates unfold. >> you don't have to predict. you, hugh hewitt. you must have seen enough republicans to know somebody someone that can take her on. do you have any names for me? >> i'm not going to give you any names. like a judge and a jury, i want every litigant to believe in my essential fairness. >> i've got to go back. >> i don't think that she's the prohibitive favorite in this country. i see a tremendous discontent everyone among conservative democrats and independents. i see her not being able to distance herself from barack obama. but i do agree with you on one things. the republican candidate, unlike mccain and rockmney are going to have to go after her. >> she's got enormous problems

on trust. and what you're going to do and allow her to prop began diez. but the same thing where her. she's going to have to go after the republican and not let the republican define her. >> factor tip of the day, starbucks and christmas. the tip, smoemts away. looks like some folks have had it with their airline credit card miles. sometimes those seats cost a ridiculous number of miles... or there's a fee to use them.

i know. it's so frustrating. they'd be a lot happier with the capital one venture card. and you would, too! why? it's so easy with venture. you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, every day. just book any flight you want then use your miles to cover the cost. now, that's more like it. what's in your wallet? nexium 24hr is the new #1 selling frequent heartburn brand in america. i hope you like it spicy! get complete protection with the purple pill. the new leader in frequent heartburn. that's nexium level protection.

factor tip of the day, starbucks and christmas. many are getting their orders in early. very smart. we have the following great stuff, fabulous coffee mugs and a special one for bill o'reilly prep yum members. there it is. pens are the best. i use them every night own the air. and a brand new factor garment bag protects your clothing like no other. it's light and i use it. now, all the money i get from

bill o'reilly dot com is donated to charity. i want to thank the fox news channel for allowing me to mention the gear. it's allowed for scholarships for under-privileged kids all over the country. it's one of the main reasons i hang in. i've been with fox news now for more than 19 years. so we hope you think of us for christmas and hon can giving. you went too far with george will. you should let the facts speak for themselves and write a rebut rebuttal in washington post. funny you should mention. the washington post will not print the reput buttal. even though the newspaper has run two op eds attacking "killing reagan." they won't let us replay. disgraceful. on the hard news side, the washington post is good. on the editorial side the paper is unfair, unbalanced and

unworthy. now, we have posted that column that we wrote that they won't print un"killing reagan." and the column will answer all of your questions. as fur will himself, it's so fallacious e fallacious i don't think the man has read the book. but you know what george, i'm bored with it. this is my last reply to you. everything in kwt killing reagan" is true. everything is documented. you, george are jealous of our success on television and in pun lishing. your lags book was a huge bomb, george. catastrophe. only 28,000 copies sold. i might be jealous, too, with that kind of resume. so i really don't blame you. but your elitest tone has never really been welcomed here in the factor. and we believe that is a factor in your current jihad against us.

as far as we're concerned, where there's a will there's a way. end of story. rhonda bill i appreciate your irish savvy which cuts to the chase. >> thank you for your accurate and well-researched subjects. i've been in the country, beautiful place. and a very happy birthday to the marine corps, 240 years ago today, semper fi. also world war ii vet, '97. way to go. and finally tonight, the factor tip of the day. there's some anger over starbucks. last year the coffee cups had a little wintery design on it. nothing directly associated with christmas. this year, the cup is just red. no design. now, when we first saw the red cup, i thought starbucks may be favoring the republican stakes.

but think e then i realized that's impossible it's a see atle-based company. whole, as the original war on christmas five star general, i have to say i don't see any problems with it. red is one of the colors of christmas. santa's outfit is red, rudolf's nose is red. here's the factor tip of the day. this kind of stuff diminishes the real problem when certain companies order their employees not to say the word christmas. that's what the war is all about. and that's it for us tonight. >> word of the day, no pule when writing to the editor. kbraet word. we'll be back live at 11:00 after debate analysis. big line-up, as i mentioned.

i mean, we've got everybody. we hope to see you then. i'm bill o'reilly. please always remember, the spin stops here. we're definitely looking out. >> breaking tonight, facing a new challenge on the fox business debate stage after days pumelling media attacks. the stakes are high for dr. ben carson tonight. welcome to "the kelly file," everyone i'm me grkszgyn kelly. his mother, ill lit rat. and married at age 13. his father, a bamptist minister who turned out to be a bigamist. when carson was 8, his father took off.
