better job than we credit them for. >> bret: what do you think? key make a politician? maybe so. they are quiet here. no online show tonight. thanks for inviolating us into your home tonight. but that's it for this "special report." fair, balanced, and unafraid. ut something. >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on. tonight. >> why haven't we heard from the president on this yet? >> understand that the president has, as you mentioned, lots of responsibilities. >> president obama still not addressing the wikileaks situation. but we will with dick morris and glenn beck. both have interesting takes on the matter. >> bill: do you believe in the world we have a muslim problem? >> i think we have a terrorist problem. >> bill: okay. body language breaks down whoopi goldberg's recent appearance on the factor and my reaction to it. >> you understand my point.

>> bill: no, i don't. i believe there is a muslim problem in the world. >> i think there is a radicalization of news presentation. damaging and irresponsible fox news. >> bill: also, dennis miller has some strong words for jimmy carter who continues to bash fox news. >> bill: caution, you are about it enter the no spin zone, the factor begins right now. ♪ >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. happy hanukkah to all our jewish viewers. we hope you have a good time. interpol after the wikileaks guy. that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. authorities all over the world searching for julian assange. man who posted state department documents on his web site wikileaks. police are looking for assange in relation to rape allegations out of sweden. let's face it, authorities are using anything they can to get

this guy. for the second consecutive day wikileaks is mostly off line after being attacked by cyber people. there is no question mr. assange is a pariah in many places. the issue is quite simple. guys like assange succeed in creating chaos among intelligence agencies, the terrorist also have a much easier time. here in america where terrorism remains a huge issue, many folks are misty find by president obama's failure to talk about the wikileaks situation. white house spokesman robert gibbs was asked about that on "fox & friends." >> why haven't we heard from the president on this yet? >> well, the president, through the secretary of state and through many of the people that work here have spoken. >> bill: i know, why not the president? >> how they are upset on the fact that hundreds of thousands of documents, many highly classified, have been leaked. understand that the president has, as you mentioned, lots of responsibilities and has, let's make sure this economy is strong and growing. let's make sure our country is safe and secure.

>> bill: so it's obvious mr. gibbs doesn't want to tell the nation why president obama will not speak about wikileaks. maybe it's just me, ladies and gentlemen, but i don't understand, mr. obama. remember when he was asked about the wisdom of the ground zero mosque? wouldn't say anything. and now with a huge assault. a huge assault on the u.s. state department he stays silent as well. on monday brit hume said that was smart because it might tamp down the situation. i disagree. i think most americans want to know what the president thinks about the fact that the u.s.a. cannot seem to protect its secrets. as for assange, most americans want him prosecuted. guy has gotten away with hurting this country for far too long. it is time for the obama administration to put an end to that and charge him with espionage. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight, why is the president not talking about wikileaks? why? joining us from washington, former cia analyst michael

scheuer, author of the book biography. he was the head of the bin laden unit at one time. so, doctor, were you surprised the president hasn't said anything about wikileaks. >> no. i think the president has a pretty established pretty good record of not talking about things that would defend american. -- he and holder have been very good about criticizing americans about how we have lost our moral compass. he always has time to talk about has been burmese journalists and chinese writers you never hear of. when it comes to defending america, bill, is he generally pretty quiet. >> bill: yeah, but, look, i want to break this down because this is so interesting to me because i studied the guy as you know, doctor, research in pinheads and patriots, i mean, i just watched him from the time he was 3 years old all the way to present day. he sends holder out yesterday and holder says all the prerequisite things and so does hillary clinton the secretary of state. this is bad. we're going to get the guy.

we're gonna investigate. we're going to do this, that, and the other thing. so there is holder yesterday. but this happened last july. so from july to the last day in november, holder did butkus. didn't do anything. so it happens again and there is holder saying we are going to get -- who on earth is buying this? everybody knows -- everybody who has a brain knows that there is something preventing the president from taking a strong stand? i don't know what that is. >> well, you have to assume, bill. you don't know what goes on inside somebody's head. >> bill: right. you don't know what goes on inside his mind. >> but somebody who acts or doesn't act tells you clearly what he thinks. the president, when the first announcement was made, that these things were going to be leaked, could have ordered the u.s. military or the central intelligence agency to destroy the web site, mr. assange was going to use and prevent any

leaks at all. >> bill: how could he have done that? how could the u.s. military have destroyed the web site? >> there is information warfare command in the u.s. military. the central intelligence agency has a powerful capability to disrupt communications of america's enemies. and he is the commander and chief. these things -- >> bill: you believe we have the technology so ordered that president obama knock them off -- >> absolutely, sir. absolutely. you just reported that the site was not available today. >> bill: no because some other cyber people knocked him off. i understand it's a former american military person is behind it. okay. so let's assume that the united states has the capability of knocking wikileaks off the air forever. but, president obama doesn't want to do that because he would be criticized? >> oh, i think so. i think he thinks this is the first amendment issue when it really is just a matter of trafficking in stolen material.

you know, the president clearly is cheek by jaw with the aclu. he doesn't want to upset those people or the "new york times." somehow committing treason has become protected by the first amendment. >> bill: all right. now, do you believe that what assange has done damages the united states going forward because, look, we all know that intelligence has to come from human -- one human being to another. i mean, it's passed a law. and if people feel everything they say to the united states is going to wind up on a web site one day they are less inclined to say anything, correct? >> i think that's very much the case, sir. i think we live, at least here in washington in very much a lawless environment. because i think you have to remember president bush and president obama have leaked very, very highly classified material along with their lieutenants to bob woodward. mr. woodward brags in his books about the national security documents he has received from

these -- from our governments. so it's a very lawless -- it's a very lawless situation, bill. >> bill: all right. so you say that because the people in washington do their own leaks that they are less inclined to clamp down on other people leaking? >> i think that's very much the case. i think, you know, if you look at woodward's recent book, obama's wars, he should be in jail for publishing that material, except that the material came from the president of the united states. >> bill: you can give us one example of something being published that you feel is treasonous or actionable? >> i can give you the best one that i can think of is george tenant telling bob woodward that we listened to oivel when he called his mother in saudi arabia. that clearly ended that channel of cable interception for the united states. that was in one of mr. woodward's books. >> bill: doctor thanks very much. we appreciate it. next on the run down dick morris

on whether president obama will give tax increase for the affluent. úç>?[ozo

>> bill: impact segment tonight. editorial in the "wall street journal" today says that president obama and some diehard leftists are the only ones holding out for tax increase on the affluent. the journal points out that 50% of that increase would be paid

by install business owners and n time of high unemployment that might not be a good thing. the question will mr. obama get his tax hike? joining us from now from charlesville, virginia the purveyor of dick morris.com mr. morris. prediction time, morris, what's going to happen in the tax room? >> i think that obama is going to try to pass the raising the taxes for the wealthy for people making more than 250. and i think he will probably pass it in the lame duck house and then it will go to the lame duck senate. but it's not quite the lame duck senate. it's the 41 senators, the 40 plus scott of massachusetts. scott brown and then the 42nd who is mark kirk from illinois who took office immediately. republican. i think those 42 republicans are going to hold firm and i think he is not going to get. >> bill: that means they will filibuster and not even going to vote on it. >> what's going to happen then is that he is going to confront

the situation where either he let's taxes go up for everybody or taxes go up for nobody. and i think once that's the choice obama is going to blink, is he going to cave, in and he is not going to impose the tax hike. >> bill: try to impose raising the ceiling from 250 to a million. >> yes clare mccaskill suggested that sunday on fox news. i don't think that's going to fly. if fox viewers are concerned about this issue, there are four senators who could con seeivelg bailiff flake on this. i don't think they will but they could. obviously snowe and collins from maine. voinovich from ohio who is a lame duck. and bennett from utah who is a lame duck. if you live in those states call and write your senators because if anybody is going to flake, it's going to be them. but it's -- if the 42 hold firm and i think they will. i don't think they will flake. then obama can't pass it. >> bill: he doesn't want to have

everybody's taxes go up. you are saying that he probably will at the end of all of this it probably the bush tax cuts instituted in 2003 will probably be extended for a period of time? >> yeah. two years, probably. >> bill: okay. >> they will all be extended for the same amount of time. you know, it's very hard for obama to go to the american people and say i so want to redistribute income that i'm willing to raise taxes on everybody. no he can't do that all right. let's get back to the wikileaks. you heard my interview with dr. shroyer. >> yeah. >> bill: let's do it from a political viewpoint first. walk through it? >> i think missed the point in that interview because he is a national security guy and not a politician. you remember when bill clinton had the waco raid going on and he was content to be quiet and let janet reno take the fall for it? >> bill: yes. >> i think for all kinds of reasons right now, barack obama is very content to let this be hillary clinton's scandal. first of all, because he doesn't want it to be his own and

secondly because it's hillary clinton. >> bill: you know, you are flying in the face. >> is he perfectly happy to sit there. >> brit hume made that argument earlier this week. you are flying in the face of the perception that the president is disengaged. he doesn't feel what americans feel. it's another example americans are angry about it they want this guy assange nailed to a cross and our leader, our commander and chief who dr. shroyer rightly pointed out could have knocked that thing right off the air if he gave the order to do so. i believe that the technology is in place. >> "new york times" would still have printed it and you can't knock them off the air. no but you could have made it a lot harder for everybody involved to disseminate that information. >> i think that the problem is that the left wing wants that information out there because they are opposed to the war, they are opposed to what the state department. >> are you in that category of being a far left zealot?

>> he's not willing to antagonize them because he is worried about a primary from them. >> bill: if that is true he is willing to watch his approval rating go into the 30's? because zogby's last poll was 39%. >> yeah, 39. >> bill: willing to see it go down to 32? >> you have got to remember the first step for barack obama is to get renominated. and with the left mad at him over no public option. high unemployment. guantanamo would still open. still in iraq. fighting like crazy in afghanistan. he doesn't want to alienate them. and they are pretty mad about this war. by the way, i'm becoming mad about it, too. because while i hate the idea that the leaks took place and i want to prosecute theson that did it. i am furious that the vice president of afghanistan shows up in the with a suitcase with 50 million bucks of cash. that cash came from one of two places. the american taxpayers or the drug industry in afghanistan.

>> bill: maybe he sold his house. >> i don't want our boys and women fighting to preserve that kind of regime. >> bill: we all know what kind of regime it is over there, morris. what are you, little bo beep? we know they are crooks have to have. i agree with you outrageous. they are making tradeoffs over there as they do in every dirty war. you know that i will give you the last word. >> the last word on afghanistan is that it is very possible for us to be counter insurgency but -- counter terrorists but not counter insurgency. keep troops there. strike at al qaeda. send out your drones. kill people but don't try to change the governments in kabul. and if the taliban takes over and they say get out of here. we tell them to go fly a kite and we stay there and mind our own business there. >> bill: that would be pretty messy. check out dick morris.com. directly ahead, glenn beck also has a little take on assange and wikileaks. he is going to be here. then, body language breaks down

whoopi goldberg's appearance on the factor. should be interesting moments aw

>> bill: in the at your beck and call segment tonight, our pal glenn is roaming around the country. we have to do his segment early this week. he annualized the weeks situation so that's where we begin. here is beck, the busiest guy in the world. you did manage to work in on your very fine programming seen here on fnc at 5:00 p.m. >> 5:00. >> bill: is that when it's on. >> 5:00 p.m. so you know, it's christmas. that's his charitable giving. >> bill: i get you and cavuto mixed up. >> i know. >> bill: he is on at 4:00. you you are on at 5:00. you were pounding this wikileaks thing in a way that was different from everybody else. you can explain?

>> i don't think is he sincere here. yes, actually i can. i think what this is is a clear attempt to cause chaos around the world. >> bill: by whom? >> by the -- one of the guys -- the private. >> assange? >> the private. >> bill: manning? >> he knows all the details. >> bill: that's my job. >> manning is the guy who actually got all the documents and he said in an email that it was going to be beautiful and terrifying, the chaos it would cause. >> bill: manning had bad intent. >> yeah. he had bad intent and assange is also a guy who loves to have just all open society. sound familiar? >> bill: do you think assange knows george soros? >> i know assange is being represented by the attorneys that does pro bono work open society. >> bill: i did not know that. >> that's good. >> bill: i think this is what we

talked about on my program before about the perfect storm. this is what al qaeda is doing as well. they are doing operation hemorrhage. cut us a thousand times until we bleed. >> bill: disrupt. create as much chaos in the tent as you can. do you believe in your heart, i'm not going to ask to you prove it, but that george soros, who both you and i believe is a danger to america. >> yeah. >> bill: is in bed with assange? knows what his operation is and had a hand in it. >> i don't know at the had a hand in it but i think he absolutely knows what the operation is the nation magazine doesn't like you, you know that, right? >> no. get out of here. >> bill: only 18 people subscribe to it. >> yes. >> bill: they don't mail it out. >> say, hey. they had a little poll, name your media heros. and assange came in 23rd. so my question is this: people who believe and read the nation magazine, far left people, how could they think that assange is

a hero when americans might wind up dead? >> because i don't think they are looking at the dead part. they are looking at the causing of chaos to collapse the system. they want the system -- >> bill: i know you don't buy into this theory but, i mean, they are all saying it. last night i was playing clips on the television show of this liberation and communist convention. they are having conventions now in los angeles. i have four people or five people on tape saying now is the time. cause the chaos. we want revolution. >> bill: always been a communist in this country and want the system what's different now. >> now they have organized each other. and like minds for instance i go back to al qaeda. al qaeda is not coordinated with, you know, the white house or coordinated with anything else. it's people of like minds that see an opportunity that have hated capitalism, have seen america as the great oppressor. if you are in that category, now is the time.

>> bill: so my point and i made this to you before, is that i don't see these things as being any more powerful than they have been in the past. i agree with you. same as it's always been. >> here's the difference. you have crushing, crushing debt. you have crushing unemployment and it's always going to get worse. our whole society is crumbling. >> bill: they have a bigger opportunity because there isn't a staunch force against them. >> it's the perfect storm. >> bill: i think guys like you and me and the fox news channel and "wall street journal" so much more powerful that we do form that -- making any progress. >> here is what has to happen. if you are informed. if you know that it's top down, bottom up and inside out, that it is get the bottom to rise up in revolution, get the pressure from up top and get the people in the middle to say help us,

help us, stop this, and the people who are coordinating both top and bottom come down and crush you. it's what happened in czechoslovakia in '46. what van jones has talked about happening in america. >> bill: it's not going to happen not in our lifetime. >> if they are informed. >> bill: continue to be informed by us. i'm at the movies the other day. i see you. and i thought it was a commercial for the curse of frankenstein. kind of like lightning bolts and you came out walking stiffly. >> that's not exactly. >> bill: you are in the movies again. >> you know -- >> bill: tomorrow? thursday? >> yeah. >> bill: you are in the movies again? >> this is actually more of a town hall meeting. here is what it is. i explain visually we have got quite -- >> bill: black boards. >> i have got black boards and '65 mustang that i'm restoring. '65 mustang. several people on stage with me and props. i'm going to explain the fed. i'm going to explain how all of these things work. the stimulus package -- see he

is mocking me. >> bill: i'm not mocking you. here is what i don't understand. i'm not with you here. this isn't a bold fresh thing. this is the broke thing. >> no. that's on my back later in the week bill billing like when nick jaguar left the rolling stones and it failed. i think that's what's going to happen here. >> i think you are probably right. >> bill: glenn beck everybody. last call for the big beck o'reilly show on friday and show on saturday. show in big d sold out. details on bold fresh.com. ahead, body language takes look at whoopi goldberg on the factor and president obama talking about sarah palin. and then the miller man arrives. he has got some advice for former president jimmy carter who continues to hammer fox news. we hope (announcer) energy security. climate protection. challenges as vast as the space race a generation ago.

and tal to global security. to reach this destination, our engineers are exploring everyossibility. from energy efficiency to climate monitoring. securing our nations clean energyuture is all a question of how. and it is the how that will make all the difference.

>> bill: body language segment tonight. we begin with president obama being quizzed about sarah palin. >> you know, i don't speculate on what's going to happen two years from now. i'm right now focused on making sure that we're doing everything we can to improve the economy and put people back to work. >> mr. president. >> um-huh. >> you will not tell me you think you could beat sarah palin? >> what i'm saying is i don't think about sarah palin. [ laughter ] >> okay. all right. >> bill: here now to analyze body language maven tonya

reiman. okay, i have a few specific questions here. okay? because we see this with hillary clinton, too. when they are asked, mrs. clinton and president obama, a question that is, you know, a little awkward, they laugh. >> it's the nervous. [ laughter laughter. it gives them a few seconds to gain control. >> bill: it's not funny. >> not at all. it allows them a few seconds to kind of get their thoughts together. that's really all you need. >> bill: i don't think that's a voluntary -- that's involuntary. >> it is involuntary because the brain is going at such a pace that you suddenly realize you don't have an answer. the distraction comes in. you are able to laugh, collect your thoughts and then verbalize. >> bill: okay. so that's number one. number two, is he tilting his head. >> when he talks about sarah palin? >> bill: does that mean anything? >> it depends. when he talks about sarah palin, see that? >> bill: yeah. >> he is disengaging there. as he does that he breaks eye contact and he also breaks the connection that he has, the forward facing connection. when you do that, you are able

to desengage and kind of reevaluate. he does that and immediately after lifts up his chin in that kind of superiority gesture. >> bill: when you lift your chin you are a superiority person? >> what you are doing is looking down your nose. >> bill: beneath him to talk about sarah palin. >> to even think the thought of sarah palin even coming to mind. >> bill: i think the president believes that. >> i agree he does believe that. >> bill: 100%. >> because when they were talking about the economy that was only time that i saw red flag which was the increase in blink. here he is calm, cool, and relaxed. disengaged in the conversation. then the economy comes up and he starts blinking. >> bill: blinking again. i blink when the economy comes up too. second one is whoopi goldberg coming on the factor. ms. reiman is going to look at ms. goldberg's posture and mine. roll the tape. >> bill: what did you guys say about me after i left. [ laughter ] come on, what did you say. >> you know, i said. >> bill: yeah. >> i thought that did you not

realize how hurtful. >> bill: you said that on the air. i mean off the air when you guys were back. >> i said the same stuff off the air. >> bill: were you cursing me off. >> no. no i heard myself say the "b" word and i knew i had to get up. >> bill: bs you were saying. >> i had to get up. >> bill: not a lot of eye contact with me when i asked the question what were you guys saying about me behind the scenes. >> there is a reason for that. what usually happens is if i say to you what was the conversation like with, you know, dick morris before, what you are typically going to do is look off to the side because what you are trying to do is access the part of the brain that remembers the conversation. so as she looks off to the side she is really trying to remember what that conversation was. >> bill: that makes perfect sense. >> it does make sense. then she looks down. and once again she is feeling the emotion of that aggravation. she got frustrated when that happened initially. i love your body language here though. see how you move in and you like mirror her body language, in other words, try to get the good dirt from her.

>> bill: i'm moving in, i'm basically saying come on, just tell me. >> you are trying to build rapport and have the same body posture as whoopee. whoopi started off very close and then her defenses went down. >> bill: that's because i'm so charming. >> that's right, yes. >> bill: there it is. the final one is this singer susan boyle who is actually on "the view" and things did not go well. roll the tape ♪ o hear the angel's voices ♪ o night. [ laughter ] [cheers] >> bill: i think she swallowed a bug or something. something happened there. >> here you see the direct opposite of obama actually. you see her chin tuck. when we tuck our chin we are trying to protect ourselves. she feels -- she knows she made the gaffe.

she gets embarrassed. she tucks down her chin. immediately after that she grabs her belly. women do this more than men do. when we feel that tension we protect ourselves. we grab our stomachs in order to make ourselves comforted. there you go. after that she puts her hands behind her back, that usually is indicative based on the context of two different things. either superiority in you are letting all your vulnerable parts. >> bill: or she is embarrassed. >> doing the minihug behind her back. once again her chin tucked down. >> bill: that could happen to anybody. >> she is magnificent. >> bill: tonya reiman, there you go. when we come right back, it will be miller time starring wikileaks, jimmy carter, global warming and, of course, miller. he is next.

>> bill: thanks for staying with us i'm bill o'reilly in the miller time segment tonight, the d-man has been talking about wikileaks on his fine radio program i understand as i understand kateed why west wood 1 and he joins us now from los angeles. just tell the audience haven't heard you on the radio what your take is on this. >> i didn't even know who this guy was a month ago. i looked up on my screen i thought my god chef gordon ramsey has malaria. then all of a sudden i find out it's julian assange and, you know, i'm not fan of artificial

dissemination, billy, i will say, this thank god he is putting it on the "new york times" because no one is reading it the only place he could bury this more below the fold is on the cover of "newsweek." put it there and keep everybody's secrets safe. >> bill: you don't think it's catching on with the mainstream audience. you might be right. it certainly damages america's ability to protect itself because we discussed earlier in the program with dr. scheuer, people aren't going to want to get into business with us as far as intel is concerned if they think it's going to be on the internet. president obama doesn't look real strong in this situation. >> well, listen, i think last time through it was more deleterious to our cause. this time through i mean hillary try to gather secrets on somebody, go back and ask linda tripp about that. kadafi travels with voyeur will you pleasous blonde that's his masseur. and then the last revelation wasn't no shock to me that

kucinich is indeed from the planet you're you are rain. >> student: -- this is the reason bumper chutes were invented. if they are north going to do that at least sentence him to three hours on tang bed with snooky. >> bill: do you want him punished? >> yeah. i think they should off him because he is a pale dweeb. >> bill: just on looks alone you want him off the planet. >> somewhere in the bowels of langley there is an old cia guy like alfred and the company. one of these old style eastern block spooks. if this guy getting anywhere near anything that's going to compromise this country i assume they off him. >> bill: i don't think so. not anymore. after the first round in july they should have charged him with espionage and they didn't do anything about it jimmy carter, former president as you know. i think you voted for him, miller, did you not?

that was in your dark period? didn't you vote for carter? >> no. >> bill: even then you knew better? >> listen, i could have been eugene mccarthy, i could sense he was a drip that time through. carter in '95 he had the worst presidency are then in '95 he goes to north korea and gets played like an amish preacher in a game of begin -- ginn rummy on flight. i'm trying to figure out what his play is here. i think i got it it was the worst presidency of modern times. what he is trying to do is make his after presidency even worse so he looks like a genius when he was in office. i can't believe habitat for humanity trusts him with a hammer. >> bill: i don't know. i think he has hit himself in the head a few times with that hammer because he continues to say stuff like this. roll it. >> i think there is a radicalization of news presentation. not only with the news broadcast but with the commentators that are particularly vicious, i think and damaging and

irresponsible on fox news where they have presented an image that the american people have adopted to excessive degree that president obama is not even a citizen of our country, that he a muslim, and that he is a socialist. >> bill: i think he is talking about you, miller. i think it's all your fault. >> i hope so. i loathe the guy. i hope he loathes me. you were a horrible president, jimmy. you are a crazy old man. you are rip taylor without the confetti. >> bill: rip taylor. is he still alive rip tailor? is he still around? >> yeah. you just saw him on that clip. [ laughter ] >> bill: all right. miller and i are trying to book our passage to cancun for the climate summit in mexico, correct, miller? we're going to stay down there -- what are we going to do down there? >> all i know is you thought cancun was full of horny simpletons during spring break, you can't wait to see this week. they are all going to fly in on private planes.

listen. do me a favor drive down to cancun in a smart car and going through juarez. you will get airconditioning. they will put a hole here, a hole there, and a hole there. listen, they better dine on this while they can. it's going away within the next 10 years. either they are right and we are all dead or they are wrong and this stuff is going to be defunded. they best party like it's 1999. >> bill: they are. cancun for global warming. what better place than maybe south beach in miami, olay. >> billy it's cancun. it's not the hotel decap at some point getting sprayed down with a beer by same hager. [ laughter ] >> bill: that would cool you off and we don't want that we want to stay warm at the global warming conference. okay. now, i was hoping that you were going to be selected to host the academy awards this year. you know, your hbo special went

through the roof. get the miller guy. you know, he will be fair and balanced. >> and you were going to do the helen thomas lifetime roast. >> bill: i'm going to give you the award from the academy for, you know, film criticism over the years or something. but miller was rejected and ann hathaway and james franco. now i thought james franco was from the franco family, the disco singers. but he isn't. >> that's the chef boy are ardee can. >> bill: i'm sure good actor why host the academy awards. >> rachel getting married stunner of an actress. key observer of the human condition as most actors are unless you are boyfriend of four years taken millions out of -- pocket. she knows everything. franco is in the new movie. i think he is great. he is going to kill.

i'm a big fan. new movie 127 hours about the hiker who had to cut his arm off. that's while i would give out the first statuette that night. he hands it to them. pull away and the arm sticks on -- >> bill: baffling choice. i guess it could work, miller. you know that industry better than i do. >> i think they will be great at it. >> bill: okay. did you see that on deck? a cheetah exposition. also, one of the most misguided political sound bites we have ever heard and then, charles barkley on president obama's basketball produces we coming right back. i'm hugh jidette and i'm running for president. i'll say a lot of things but do i really care about this baby's future? when he's 30 years old our $13 trilli debt will be $70 trillion eventually his taxes will double just to pay the interest. i'm hugh jidette and i say let's keep borrowing and stick our kids with the tab.

>> bill: back of the book segment tonight, did you see that as we mentioned with dick morris, president obama believes that raising taxes on the wealthy is actually going to help the economy and he is not

alone. >> there is no real history illustrating that these tax cuts for the rich result in jobs. it's extending unemployment benefits that creates economic activity that creates jobs. not giving a millionaire an extra 10 or 20 or $30,000 in tax cuts that they likely won't spend because they are already buying what they are going to buy anyway. >> bill: senator sherrod brown, very liberal guy, saying that unemployment benefits stir the economy. here now to analyze that incredible sound bite juliet huddy. >> hello, william. >> bill: i don't know if senator brown is an economist or not but i haven't heard that very often. >> i'm certainly not economist either. i have done my research william and i will tell you this. i have basically when it comes to experts in macroeconomics definitively say the bush tax cuts were effective. conversely, experts in macroeconomics definitively say that they were not effective. so i think when it comes down to the average nonexpert in economics can basically glean from all of this that it depends

on sort of how you look -- >> bill: what you want to believe. isn't there a pattern of information when ronald reagan cut taxes, the economy started to boom a little bit when bush after 9/11 cut taxes, the economy started go up. when jfk cut taxes the economy started to go up. isn't that a matter of record? >> yes, it is. one of the things that he was saying was that sherrod brown was saying was that these tax cuts were not effective. i mean -- >> bill: that's not true. >> there was job growth. >> bill: yeah. >> but it wasn't as large. >> bill: we came out of all three economic that malaise two cutting taxes. he says there is no evidence of that i'm going i think there. >> there is. >> bill: okay. but that's why we are here to tell people that sherrod brown doesn't know what he is talking about. >> there are also some of the other things to factor in. >> bill: i know. you can egive indicate all day

long and that's. >> oh, big word. >> bill: that's not what we do here. now chia. everybody knows chia but me. >> you know what a chia pet is the statue figurine thing you pour water on it and hair gross out it's like a plant. >> bill: a plant? >> strange plant strange people buy it no offense. >> bill: they have a tape on chia. let's roll it. >> to honor three great american presidents with an american icon. >> chia. >> washington, our founding father, lincoln, freedom for all. obama, help and -- hope and prosperity. statute do you of liberty evergrowing flame. seed, water and watch them grow. >> bill: obviously a so tire, right. >> this is real. >> bill: this is real. you buy that. >> it's called the proud to be an american line. >> bill: how much does it cost. >> 19. 9.

>> bill: 20 bucks. >> cool 20 bucks and you get that. >> bill: green hair on washington obama and lincoln? >> yes. unfortunately, last year walgreen's pulled the obama -- obama chia. >> bill: green hair on lincoln and washington. >> because it doesn't look like after fro and apparently having hair that looks like afro is now racist. >> bill: why would anyone but this? is there a reason? >> why did we buy those little strange troll things? >> we? i never bought a strange troll. i see them every day for free in new york. i don't have to buy them. [ laughter ] >> bill: why would nibby this? >> because it's just cute. put it in your little window sill. >> bill: we don't want one with an expansive massive mansion like you do. little tiny window sill. >> if i saw -- i beg to differ on that one. >> bill: the chia in somebody's window. i would keep walking. >> that's because you like to marinate in your own misery.
