[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly, thanks for watching us tonight. president obama continues to fall in the polls and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. the gallup company has been polling presidential approval ratings since 1938. this week its poll says 47% of americans now approve of the president's job approval performance. that's the lowest number ever recorded for a president at this point in his term. presidential spokesman robert gibbs says the white house is not concerned with daily tracking polls as they vague, maybe. last march it stood at 62%. were they vague then? so he is obviously lost a lot of ground. by comparison after

approximately 11 months. bill clinton's job approval rating was 52%. bush the elder 71%. nixon at 59%. george w. bush had 86% approval raght but that was skewed by the 9/11 attack. the reason the president is falling is because many are uneasy with his leadership. not one thing. combine afghanistan with the health care chaos. unemployment, string of uninspired speeches. not hard to see why some americans have lost confidence in mr. obama. the president has plenty of time to make a comeback. indeed, he did gain some support for afghan policy after speech at west point last week. that means many americans still have an open mind about barack obama. that's a good thing. they are watching and evaluating him based on performance not ideology. as we reported last night, i gave president obama a b on jobs. a c on afghanistan, and a d on health care when asked by good morning america to grade the president. some of you disagreed and we will read your letters at the

end of the program. for now the president is having a hard time. he needs to take a hard look at his liberal agenda because the country is moving to the right. new study by james carville says 45% of americans now call themselves conservatives if president obama governs to the left and the economy continues to be shaky he would be a one term guy. he would have a much better chance for success if he moved to the center. barack and a hard place duo dr. monica crowley and alan colmes. why do you think the president's approval rate is falling. >> people are worried. they are worried about the war and the economy and their jobs. legitimate concerns people have. clearly people are concerned about all these moving parts. none of this have been clearly defined because we are still in play. bill: let me stop you there if you are right and it's -- you are pretty much agreeing with me so i hope you know your reputation among the left is ruined. [ laughter ]

>> that's not true. bill: if it's a bunch of things that have made people uneasy, not just one. president obama then really isn't doing his job. >> no, that's not true. we are talking about daily tracking polls. ronald reagan has 49%. bill: at this point in his term. >> statistically each with what barack obama has now. bush went from 86%. tracking polls are a moment in time. bill: plenty of time to bring thomg them on up. why do you think this is driving him down? >> two things. first of all, it's the economy, stupid. americans are out of work. 10% unemployment. 18% under employment and those who have stopped looking for work because they are so discouraged. home foreclosures still at record highs. deficits balloons because the government spending is totally out of control now you have the national debt smashing through $1.12 trillion. bill: primary motive is the economy. do you want to be fair.

>> of course i do. biffle bill every day you go home i'm going to be fair to president obama. when he took over as colmes well knows, the first month he was in august, 671,000 jobs lost. last month, 11,000 jobs lost. that seems to be an improvement to me. am i wrong. >> we hope that this trend continues. bill: put hope aside. jesse jackson said give hope a chance. deal with that stat. 671 when he took over, 11 lost last month. that seems to be a pretty good deal. >> again, we hope the trend continues and he will get the credit for it if it continues. bill: we do hope that. >> his problem is between the spending which is outrageous. bill: it is and i agree with that. >> the perception that the president is off in the weeds on health care and carbon emissions he is going to copenhagen and all this that is he not focused on the american people that care first and foremost about keeping their jobs and keeping their homes. put priorities are totally out of whack.

bill: karl rove coming up soon on whether that is going to help or hurt him in the u.s.a. it will help him abroad but here i'm not so sure president obama you would is i to be fair is having a hard time right now december 8, 2009? >> three day period that the tracking poll covers that could change in the next two days. bill: perception has been building since the summer. his frubs have been going down. >> at 51% december 1st three day tracking poll. it's changeable in a moment-to-moment basis. bill: wait a minute. would you say he is in trouble now. >> no. i wouldn't say he is trouble because he is not 50% figure. >> i think he is in trouble for a first term president in his first year. this is a flashing red danger zone. you mentioned ronald reagan. ronald reagan inherited a massive recession. almost as bad as this one. what reagan did that bumped up his poll numbers because the economy improved, he cut taxes. what barack obama is doing is the exact opposite of what reagan did. bill: 45%, obama 47 as colmes pointed out. >> my point is that reagan

turned around poll numbers by turning around the economy cutting taxes. this president is doing the exact opposite. >> give it time because we are still in play here. we have got -- bill pointed out we have the job situation turning around. he may ratchet up his numbers. bill: are you worried that next november, you know, and time goes fast but there is still 11 months, that it is going to be all over for obama? pelosi is going to hit the highway and republicans are -- are you worried? >> november is two years away from the presidential election. you know things can turn on a dime. look how fast george w. bush's approval rating went up an 9/11 and went right back down. bill: after iraq. >> here is the danger for president obama. early on in the presidency, if a narrative starts to get really entrenched in the american public's mind that this guy is really over his head, not up to the job, afghanistan, health care, carbon emissions, unemployment. take him right down after the speech. >> they went up. bill: right now he is at 60 on

afghanistan. that's not bad. >> a lot of the polls have shown that that support for afghanistan has business dissipated. bill: you sound like robert gibbs. >> what i'm saying is that if this is indelible perception that the guy ♪ up to the task. entrenched now than the rest of his term is toast. bill: what's coming down the pike is iran which is going to be very intense. >> strong leader does not make decisions based on these polls. leadership is not paying attention to a daily tracking poll. bill: you know who did that? bush. you hammered him. >> this is the most political white house we have seen in a long time with rahm emanuel and david axelrod running the show. are you kidding me? bill: continue throughout the evening. run down, should illegal aliens participate in obama care? we will deet bait it. chaotic circus with heavy legal implications and is our legal

bill: impact egg segment tonight, you may remember the statement by president obama and reaction to it by congressman. >> there are also those who claim that our reform efforts would ensure illegal immigrants. this too is false. [boos] >> the reforms i'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. >> you lie. >> not true. bill: well now the illegal controversy is coming to a head. it is still possible illegal immigrants could participate. writing today cardinal mahony quotes: bill: despite the cardinals plea

we know if all illegal immigrants are waived into obama care is going to be a major controversy for the president. here now colombia university professor marc lamont hill. i know you agree with cardinal mahony. humanitarian. hard to say that jesus wouldn't want everybody to get health care. on a humanitarian basis. you don't argue it. on a fiscal basis you have to argue it. you can't pay for the health care of the entire world. and we have 10 million illegal aliens here who shouldn't be here. they should be back in their own country. i'm giving the theoretical argument if a that they are here illegally. they should be back in their own country. america is going bankrupt. we owe $12 trillion. now you want to pay are to the health care or a part of it of 10 million people. yeah, humanitarian wise that's right. but the country is going to go broke. those are the two arguments that have to be considered. >> i would say you are misrepresenting the humanitarian angle because those of house are humanitarians say it makes good fiscal sense emergency rooms. bill: you can make argument for that but entitlement would

overwhelm the day-to-day care that they receive it would. it's an amazing -- so president obama is now caught because of the left, you, and your pals. [ laughter ] >> i prefer comrades. bill: comrades are very fine. you can wear that little red hat that you left in the green room the next time you come out here. you guys want this built into the health care bill. obama would have to veto it or he looks like a liar. >> that's just the point. obama already backed himself into a corner because he has agreed to the premises of the screen know phobic right yells you lie he says i'm not going to cover. bill: maybe he believes it is not correct to cover people who shouldn't be here. maybe he believes that. >> since you have spent so much time saying he is radical socialist it's hard to imagine he has a centrist position. bill: i'm not pushing radical socialist agenda. you watch this program.

>> not personally but you are in the same camp as the ones who push the health care issue. bill: president obama says illegal aliens are not going to get the entitlement. ok in the left says, no, we want them to. what does he do. >> here is what he does. he does a perfect bit of political -- that's what he has done so far. we are not going to cover anybody what is illegal. makes everybody legal. gives everyone amnesty. i didn't lie. bill: you know how that is going to play. >> i know exactly how it is going to play. bill: tell us how it will play. >> the right will be satisfied because they will say we won. we got illegal immigrants not to get health care. next big battle will try to make everyone legal. it's not going to pass because he has lost so much political capital. who loses? bill: you know as well as i do and i don't think it's going to happen. i think the senate bill -- see, the house has got them included, the illegal aliens and the senate doesn't. that's what mahoney was writing about. let's say the house prevails and

that it is written in that if you are an illegal immigrant you can, with your own monday, buy into the government-run health care, twhafer may be. because, it is subsidized. so you can buy. that's what mahoney doesn't say with all due respect to the cardinal, you can buy in but if you don't have any money, the government helps you, gives you money to buy. if you are illegal alien and making $20,000 a year, they will let you buy in and give you mope on top of it that is going to intour united states most americans. >> no, it's not. bill: oh, yes it is. >> the next time there is a swine flu outbreak and you find out that the person got it from didn't get it because he didn't have health care. bill: why do you think the kennedy mccain bill died? because most americans didn't want entitlements for illegal aliens. >> all about the way things are framed. same thing about the public option. i sold you a poll that americans are for the public option. depends on how it was framed bile bill right. >> same thing with their. no one wants to be in this country where diseases aren't treated. bill: your argument now is you

have got to gil give all illegal aliens 10, 15. >> option to buy health care. bill: no, they can buy private now. they can buy private now. if you are illegal alien you can buy private because they are not going to check. so you can buy oxford health and send them a check. so don't give me that so the illegals can get private insurance. >> undocumented workers. bill: whatever swell thing you want to put on it, they can get it. so that is bull. what mahoney wants is, he wants the poor people, as jesus would want, and i see that, to be covered. but you are going to tell me the reason they should so they don't get a disease. >> that's another issue. one issue is economic issue. if we don't do, this they end up in emergency rooms. that's a tax on us. i don't like the way you are slipping into secular progressive values that makes me uncomfortable, especially around christmas time. bill: you would see this is a tight spot. >> he is in a tough spot. he will cave to the right like he did on the public option and bailout. bill: he will cave. >> he always caves.

i'm disappointed. bill: he is not going to invite you to the christmas party. you are not going. >> i don't think i'm invited anymore. bill: mark lamont hill, everybody. karl rove on whether the show in copenhagen will help or hurt barack obama in the u.s.a. which businesses are christmas friendly and which are grinches? we are going to name names moments away.

bill: unresolved problem segment tonight, the big global warming conference in copenhagen, denmark is underway and it kicked off with some video. ♪

[screams] >> please, help the world. please help save the world. bill: now, i for one hope president obama can save that little girl in the tree. i hope he can do it. and he is expected to show up in copenhagen this week. i don't know if that girl can last that long. and here to comment on the situation, fox news am list karl rove who joins us from washington. ok. that is how -- >> -- o'reilly you and i need to get on a plane right now and fly to where that little girl is and save her, save her. bill: people think that i make this up. they think this is the daily show with jon stewart that video opened the conference. the little girl in the tree. but, you, mr. rove, and president bush, who you were advising for many years, you guys didn't have any interest in the global warming deal, did you? >> bill, don't show your

ignorance so quickly and easily by saying things like that. look, here is the dirty little secret. under bush for seven years bush pursued a policy of using technology and technology advancements and their sharing around the world in order to advance an environmentally sensitive program aimed at an insurance policy if global warming is real. as a result in 2006, for example, there was only one major industrialized economy in the world that grew its economy that year and reduced the absolute amount of greenhouse gases and that was the united states of america. and during the campaign last year, we heard barack obama say we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the united states by 2020 i pledge a 14% reduction. well, guess what? bush was on track and america is on track to have greenhouse gas reductions of more than 12% without a cap and trade bill, without huge energy taxes because the investments that the bush administration made in technology and research and development and expansion of

these technologies aimed at energy efficiency and thereby reducing greenhouse gases. bill: there hasn't been as pointed out today in a number of places, there hasn't been a major break through in wind or solar or even nuclear in the sense that it becomes a mass quantity, even though we poured in billions of dollars in research. >> i disagree. i disagree. when bush came into office there was zero applications for nuclear power plants pending at the nuclear regulatory commission and the last one had been ordered in the 1970s, when he left office, there were 22 applications for new nuclear power plants. we made significant investments in solar, wind, lithium eye on batteries. satellite. they are starting to pay off enormously. we are already starting to seeth no plant from a sugar plant in louisiana to wood waste products plants in georgia. we are seeing huge advances in ion batteries which make battery powered cars much more

affordable and realistic in the near term. distinct improvements in renumbers in wind and solar exceeding goals that the government laid out earlier in this century for advancements and improvements. there is big progress being made. barack obama is going to be able to benefit from it even if he doesn't get. bill: i didn't know most of this so you are telling me that you and w. were green guys. >> look. but reasonable, sense sin, based upon technology and don't beggar the economy. keep the economy going. bill: don't punish the folks in business. bush wouldn't have gone to copenhagen and saved the little girl in the tree? he wouldn't have gone. >> the little girl would not have to go into the tree if bush were still in office. look, last year at thegate meeting g-8 meeting. basically a goal that will be repeated this week. i want your listeners to remember. this aiming for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in the

united states between 60 and will 0% by 2050. we were on our way by 2020 to get greenhouse gas emission reductions of 12%. remember, obama campaigned saying i'm going to get 14% reduction. bill: you said that already. we got it? >> he is now saying we might have 17%. but, again, we're on the path to getting this job done but we're getting it done in a sensible way that doesn't greg garr the american economy or bankrupt the world. bill: last question. obama is going over there next week at the end of the copenhagen dog and pony show. you heard at the top of the program that he has now got a poll problem. 47% of americans think he is doing a bad job. i'm sorry, 47% approve and the others don't. i mean, it's just crazy. so he is going down with the lowest approval of any president at this point in time. is that going to help or hurt him going to copenhagen? are they going to get his numbers up? or will they get them down? >> it won't get them up it will continue a pattern that we have had all year.

people are concerned about the economy, jobs, and deficits in that order. greenhouse classes gases and climate change are down there six or seven with literally a population feel this is the number one issue. has spent this year talking about health care and greenhouse gas emissions and the environment and his nobel peace prize and not talking about the things people are concerned about jobs and the economy. bill: bread and butter. >> speech today grew gra tuesday tus stump speech. bill: karl rove everybody. appreciate it plenty more as we move along this evening. john stossel has been making his list on which american companies are christmas-friendly and which are not. stossel will name names next. then, is it legal on the continuing chaos surrounding tiger woods and controversial conviction of an american student in italy on murder charges. we hope you stay tuned for those reports. ooo

bill: very hard to find companies that said merry christmas to their customers. but that has changed partly because of the factor's coverage. what's going on this year? we asked fox business guy john stossel new program debuting on thursday. a list to make christmas friendly companies and those who are hum bug people. here is stossel. who are the good guys? how did this come about? >> probably because of you talking about it. bill: there is a group that can this. >> the american family association. bill: stand for christmas.com. and this was people who actually voted for the companies they thought were best. >> right. or they talked about their good or bad experiences. it's not that scientific. bill: like a bill o'reilly.com poll. >> it's worthy because of the people -- i trust the folks and i think you do, too. to tell the truth? >> depends on which folks we are talking about. bill: regular folks. customers who go into a store. they are not going to lie. they come in said i had it good or had it bad.

first one is bass pro shop. >> top of the list was bass pro shop can a bare was, lands end and sears. bottom of the list old navy, american eagle company, best buy, banana republic and gap. bill: gab, -- gap, best buy, banana republic american eagle and old navy. they say happy holidays. >> except sometimes they do say merry christmas some customers complain it wasn't said enough. that's the beauty of the market. if you don't like the presentation. some companies are sensitive to not wanting to appeal to non-christians. you sort it out. if you like it you won't go there. enough don't like it lose business and probably change their business. bill: as a libertarian you do not care what weather people say merry christmas. >> i don't care. bill: say happy holidays doesn't bother you at all.

>> do you say happy holidays back or say merry christmas. >> if i think they are being politically correct i say merry christmas just to annoy them. bill: that's the kind of guy you are. >> yes. bill: now, retail wise, do the companies that say merry christmas and go christmas big time do better? >> the companies at the top of the list increase sales 1%. the companies at the bottom of the list increase sales 1%. bill: so it was a wash? >> it was a wash. bill: comes down to people they would rather -- i think most americans, 72% the polls say like the greeting merry christmas in the christmas season. 24% like happy holidays. so i think that if you have a good product that they want and you say merry christmas, that's a winner right there. would you disagree with that? >> i think these people know more how to run their business than i do. if it was good business practice, they would all be saying merry christmas. bill: do you really believe though that pinhead ceos, i mean, come on, you know what corporations are. that tell their -- and this is

why we got involved four or five years ago, they were ordering their employees not to say merry christmas. do you think they know how to run a company better than you do? would do you that? >> i think they figured it out pretty quickly. bill: why did they figure it out. >> because they were losing business. bill: why were they losing business? >> because will o'reilly gave a bad wrap. bill: i got a lot of good presents from santa for doing that my point is that i thought it was fascism. fascism which offends a libertarian like you. for a ceo or a store manager to tell their employees you better not say merry christmas, even though the reason we are selling stuff is because of christmas. isn't that fascism? >> no. it's ownership. he built the business. if he says stand on your head, sing when people come in, you don't have to work there. you can quit. it's his business. bill: the union won't tolerate that you can't stand on anybody's head if you are a teamster. they will cut your head off if do you that, stossel. >> that's closer to fascism.

i couldn't call the unions fascism. bill: you weren't offended by the management saying to employees merry christmas. >> scared people frightened by the left. oh, we are going to get sued for religious discrimination or something. bill buy want to do two things. christmas friendly by the folks bass pro shop can a bellas, is that how you say it? >> cabellas, gun shop, lands end, sears. stossel's new program debuts thursday 8:00 p.m. at fox business channel across the country. wife should i watch it. >> because it's gonna be great and it's going to crush your show. bill: you are up against the factor? >> that's right. bill: you know why they did that? >> because they are tired of you. bill: they want you out of here. you are making too much money. dvr stossel. be on friday at 10:00. >> go up against my old show 20/20. crush my old show and crush you. bill: anybody want to make a

bet. come back is it legal? two very intense stories tiger woods and the college student convicted of murder in italy. legal is next. boss:hey, glad i caught you. i was on my way to present ideas

about all the discounts we're offering. i've got some catchphrases that'll make these savings even more memorable. gecko: all right... gecko: good driver discounts. now that's the stuff...? boss: how 'bout this? gecko: ...they're the bee's knees? boss: or this? gecko: sir, how 'bout just "fifteen minutes could save you

fifteen percent or more on car insurance." boss: ha, yeah, good luck with that catching on! anncr: geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

bill: thanks for staying with us. i'm bill o'reilly. in the is it legal segment tonight, we are not aggressively cover everything the tiger woods situation. it's clear the man -- the family is in crisis. police investigation and aftermath. here now attorneys and fox news analysts kimbler live guilfoyle and lis wiehl. i guess this all centers around our report that mr. woods had a drug overdose of some kind? >> had a drug overdose of ambien and vicodin and alcohol. not quite sure who called it in. it may have been the wife it may have been the 911. bill: do we know that to be a fact. >> that's what's been reported. but the problem is that the prosecutors said, hey, there is not enough information here to

get those medical records. if it in fact though is true that he overdosed on ambien, alcohol and vicodin that would be enough to get -- bill: he goes out of his house at 2:30 in the morning and crashes his car into a tree and there are people who see it? >> 911 call. bill: they call 911. >> they also report he is out on the street. is he unconscious. >> he is snoring some of them say. bill: he is out. the emergency techs come and put him in the ambulance and take him to the hospital. >> right. bill: the hospital does not release anything about his condition at all. >> right. bill: and they release him. the cops can't get the warrant to go in and ask the hospital? >> which doesn't make any sense. they say that they went to the d.a. and the d.a. said there is not enough information to get the hospital records. buff, i am telling you if there is a sniff of alcohol or ambien, vicodin, anything like that, that d.a. is wrong. bill: how do you see it. >> i think they dropped the ball here. bill: who is they? >> not only the police, the

highway patrol, but i think the hospital, the doctors specifically involved. i find it to be grossly irresponsible if you discharge someone that quickly that is admitted as an o.d. they have an obligation to keep him in hold up. bill: we don't know. this is what it is reported. >> able to gain access to the medical records. bill: both of you are former prosecutors. wiehl and guilfoyle former prosecutors. you can't make a case against somebody for drunk driving or anything like that if the hospital doesn't tell you what their condition is, right? >>. no but you can ask for those records. >> subpoena the them. bill: the d.a. says i don't have enough. >> i disagree with the d.a. >> so do i. bill: you both do. >> yes. >> yes. bill: you both say in your counties where you prosecute in washington state and san francisco. >> in l.a. bill: you would have gotten the warrant to go in. >> i think there is sufficient probable cause to believe that yes perhaps an overdose has taken place. bill: looks like they were doing this to protect tiger woods

because is he a famous guy. >> admitted into the hospital they gave him an alias. howhow many of us could do that. bill: that happens a lot. a famous person goes in under dubious reasons you don't want the press calling all over. to get favorable treatment because is he a rich guy is not right. let's go to amanda knox guilfoyle. 23-year-old woman gets 26 years in prison in italy for killing her roommate. peter van isn't a the 24 hour correspondent on this broadcast said not guilty, didn't do it. do you concur. >> i watched that special 48 hours saturday evening as well. what i believe having reviewed and prosecuted many cases like this with less evidence, this is a case where i believe the jury could have come to the conclusion that they did. that there was sufficient evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. bill: you are not outraged by the conviction. >> i'm not outraged but i believe she should have her

appeals process. they will file what is called motivation state the reasons that the jury reached their verdict. she will then have an appeal process. bill: did you see anything in the testimony or 48 hours or anything that raised a red flag to you. >> yes. bill: what was it. >> with respect to the knife. there is inconsistencies in terms of is that the exact murder weapon, whether or not the outline matches on the sheet. there is blood evidence to support that there is a knife on the bed. bill: if you were to turn the tables youked have torn this apart. >> i would have say that the d.n.a. sample is insufficient it would not have met the standard to be able to be brought into court in the united states. it's a smaller sample. bill: i'm going to put you on the spot. do you think amanda knox is innocent. >> i can't tell whether she is innocent or not. i was not in the room. any courtroom in this country she would have been acquitted. that probably would have never brought the charges. because there were so many things that went wrong. bill: really? >> start from the beginning. the prosecutor on this case, who

by the way is a guy under sufficient for misconduct in another murder case kept her in a room for 14 hours. biffle bill we all know that the interrogation initially. that was italy and this is the united states. two different places. you are saying, wiehl, that you believe the woman did not kill this person. >> i am saying that in this country, she would have been found not guilty or acquitted or never would have gotten to trial. >> real quick. no i'm going to tell you why the jury found the way they did. bill: 20 seconds. >> a woman made three different statements. saying she wasn't there. on closed circuit television. they see her entering the apartment on the night of the murder. blames an innocent man. why do you do that if did you not do that. >> she did not flee. she could have fled. bill: you have suspicions about her. >> and her d.n.a. on the knife. >> i think on appeal it's going to be overturned. bill: we will see. and hillary clinton the secretary of state is going to get involved. >> maria cantwell. bill: we will see how it plays out. thanks very much. great american news quiz tonight
