"o'reilly factor" is next.woer a good night from washington. store. >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on. tonight: >> mr. president, please do not compromise with the republicans. >> i have been the highest tax bracket. we don't need the money. >> bill: the far left screaming that president obama must raise taxes on the affluent. but the president may be wavering. laura ingraham will analyze. >> 1965, a lot of good things came out that year. like medicare. this year, like always, we'll have our guaranteed benefits. >> bill: a fact check web site says andy griffith is full of

it. that he has mislead gomer, goober and everybody else about obama care. we will give you the facts. >> nip it in the bud. >> lindsay lohan is -- >> bill: lindsay lohan's mother threatening to sue the show glee ♪ forget you. >> bill: megyn kelly investigating the situation. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. president obama and your money. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. republicans are squeezing mr. obama because they know he cannot get a tax hike on the affluent passed at this time. while a house, not the white house, the house of representatives passed it today. the senate can block.

so mr. obama will have to compromise or give up entirely and extend the bush 2003 tax cuts. for his part, mr. obama is caught because if he gives up, the far left will go crazy. and at this point they are the people the president needs to fund his campaign in 2012. radical left wing americans want, above all, to take income from the affluent and give it to those who have less. that is what the far left lives for. so they are now sending a message to president obama don't compromise. >> mr. president, please do not compromise with the republicans about extending the bush tax cuts. >> i am in the highest tax bracket. we don't need the money. the country does. >> you said in your campaign speech that enough is enough and it's time to fight. please fight. i'm willing to fight with you. >> also allow the temporary bush tax cuts for the wealthiest americans to expire.

>> bill: talking points believes president obama is basically with the far left on this one. if you check out my interview with him in the book pinheads and patriots, the whole thing is printed. he does believe in income redistribution. he does want to take money from those who have it and give it to others. simply because the affluent have money, he believes the government should take as much as it can. but, the president cannot do that right now. again, the senate will block attacks hike on the affluent as it stands now. taking ideology out of the equation, it's risky to raise taxes on anybody with the economy as weak as it is. caution should dictate. congress should extend the current tax system and hope the unemployment rate comes down as consumers up tick their spending. as we reported last night, 50% of any tax hike on the affluent would be paid by small business. 50%. that will slow down hiring. it has to. but, remember this, some on the far left want to harm the economy because the worse it gets the more people will look

to big government to save them. and in the end, that's what move on and the rest of these loons are really striving for. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. how badly is president obama being hurt by the contentious tax issue. joining us from washington radio star laura ingraham. author of the big best seller and great christmas gift the obama diaries. okay. so, you know, it's a policy deal but a lot of people are engaged. you know, it's everybody's pocketbook january 1st could be affected by. this do you think president obama is being harmed? >> well, bill, i just got off the phone with the leadership's office in the house. just for you because i knew i was coming on. and what i found out is that the scuttlebutt on the hill is that it's the left that's really in a state of frenzy right now. i mean, the democrats, a lot of infighting going on. there is obviously an enormous amount of pressure for the president to take this one to the mat. extending not the bush tax cuts but extending the idea on

raising taxes on subchapter s corporations who make more than $250,000. the democrats are in a pickle because november 2nd was a big message we need less redistribution of wealth and returning economic power to the people but the left is in a state of frenzy. >> bill: if that's true why did the house vote today 284 to 188. >> ha ha. they did that obviously to throw a bone to the left there are true believers that believe that's the way to go. but they now can go -- the president can go as gibbs said today in his statement, the president's statement, look, we want and we think this is the best idea to raise taxes on just those people making, you know, more than $250,000 a year. but those basically those mean nasty republicans aren't going to let that happen. i'm going to send tim geithner to negotiate with the republicans and try to find a path forward. okay? he can go to the left and say i did it the best and gave it the old college try i'm with you.

>> bill: posturing. >> it is. >> bill: people should remember this vote in the house 234 to 188 would have been exactly the opposite a month from today -- not a month but when the new congress comes in january they spin it totally differently. you say that the president's strategy is to hold firm in the republican arenas so the left knows he tried but reality is he is not going to get it through the senate. if he doesn't get it through and everybody should understand this, nothing happens, then everybody gets a tax hike. everybody. >> the question bill and the leadership has said this the question is not for how long the bush tax cuts or whether they are going to get extended but for how long whether it's two or three years. >> bill: there is something at play here that geithner is going to try to put on the table listen we will raise the minimum from 250 to a million. millionaire's tax here. >> they are not going to go for it republicans feel like and this is a quote from top leadership staff, we have the wind at our backs and the people with us. >> bill: the wind at our backs. >> and people with us. they feel very confident.

no reason for them to compromise. they just had a tsunami come through on november 2nd. the public opinions polls on this are basically let these bush tax cuts continue. let's figure out ways to grow this economy. >> bill: it's close. >> well, this is going to kill subchapter s. >> bill: opinion polls are close. if you look at how the question is asked. >> it depends. >> bill: not a lot of sympathy in this country and i think i'm absolutely right in saying this for rich people like me and i assume you. >> subchapter s corporations -- >> bill: let's take it one by one. the perception is that the fat cats are making a ton of money living large. >> yeah, but, bill. >> bill: most americans are struggling. so that's a perception. >> you know what my view is is that people should find as many rich people as they can find on the street and go hug them, okay? because we want rich people to be expanding their companies, hiring, figuring out ways -- >> bill: they are not. the banks getting bailed out and don't lend the money to the folks.

the rich people aren't spending as much money as they can. >> don't stoke the class warfare here. >> bill: i'm not. i'm telling you what the reality and perception is. i'm not stoking it. >> that's what the left has been saying. >> bill: that's what the polls say, laura. >> the polls on this, when you talk about small businesses and subchapter s corporations, being at the effectively the highest tax rate in the world. >> bill: in the world. >> which is basically what they will be at. >> bill: let me explain that. if this tax hike on the affluent over 250 goes into effect, we would have the highest corporate tax in the world here in the united states. so the argument is, you think it's bad now unemployment, all these people are going to go to bermuda or go to mexico or they are going to go down to central america because they are paying fabulous amount of money to the government. >> what we need to know is that the last time the democrats tried to ram through and did successfully ram through an unpopular piece of legislation, it killed them on november 2nd. all right? >> bill: prediction. you say it's going to be extended for two years? >> at least.

>> bill: the bush so-called tax deal. >> at least two years. and look for russ feingold as lindsey graham said on my radio show today. look for russ feingold to start making moves for a possible challenge to obama in 2012 from the left. >> bill: laura ingraham everybody. thank you. next on the run down, andy give fifth getting pounded. apparently pro obama commercial doesn't tell the whole truth. later, congressman charles rangel didn't pay all of his taxes so why isn't he going to jail like wesley snipes? megyn kelly will tell us ♪ [ man ] if it was simply about money, every bank loan would be a guarantee of success. at ge capital, loaning money is the start of the relationship, not the end. work with polaris every day. at ge capital, we succeed only when they do. whoo! awesome! yes!

>> bill: according to fact-check.org, 10 million medicare advantage recipients will see their benefits cut by $50 a month. that's not what andy is saying here. >> actually, if you want to parse and get to the real technicality. >> bill: no. i want you to address fact check.org saying 10 million people are going -- >> yes it's advertising speak. it's smureb. it's a little would he seely in a way a lot of advertising is. guaranteed benefits aren't cut. >> bill: are you telling me opie's father is being a weasel? is that what you are doing? >> i'm saying there is a standard that georgia's on in advertising. i hate to say because we make our money at it. >> bill: leslie, i don't know what ellis is talking about, but all i know is that this fact-check and it's a nonpartisan group. not a conservative group. 10 million americans are going to have their benefit -- i want to get this right. cut by 50 bucks a month so that andy is not telling the truth on our dime.

[ laughter ] no. what i'm say something that i agree with ellis' advertising. how come nobody was outraged democrats in california were at least when bush was spending $22 million on an ad with information. and i agree with ellis before the election -- >> bill: what ad was that? >> there was an ad on medicare where california democrats stated that george w. bush, then president,. >> bill: yes. >> was misinforming and misleading the american people when it came to medicare.

>> bill: who paid for that ad? >> the american taxpayer. >> bill: all right. we'll check it out. but, look, we have the $3 million and, granted, it's chump change when you have a 14 trillion-dollar deficit. i'm saying to myself it's just not right. and, by the way, i want to be fair to andy griffith. he didn't get any money. he didn't get paid. >> the natural extension of this argument you are making, although it's kind of appealing by the way. government should down all p.r. operations? shouldn't communicate? what are you saying? >> bill: i don't mind a public service announcement that is fact-based in stone. now we find out that andy is misleading the public -- look, strip your ideology away, ellis. >> it has nothing to do with ideology. >> bill: you are paying for andy to mislead you. does that make any sense? >> in the modern age, bill, you understand this the communication world, government needs to talk to people. >> bill: but they need to talk to people in a straight way. >> and the arena that they're operating in, all of us operate in, it's debate, it's shorthand. it's passion. you know that.

>> bill: factor follow up segment tonight, 19-year-old mohammed assam mohamud charged with setting off a weapon of mass destruction. he wanted to kill innocent people on portland's pioneer square as part of the muvment jihad. the case is controversial because of the fbi used a sting and caused division within the american muslim community itself. joining us from denver mohammed al lay hasan. and phoenix dr. judy deather a president for forum. do you believe that the fbi did the right thing here and how should muslim americans react?

>> i can't tell you how much i appreciate what the fbi did and i will tell you, our organization was formed on supporting the constitution against the threats of ideologies like political islam. and, in this case, the focus on entrapment, they are simply claiming victimhood. they are deflecketting responsibility. it's a smoke screen this kid 19 years old had a radicalization pattern for years. he was reaching out to pakistan to jihadists. the fbi did not put those ideas in his head. they simply became trusted by him and able to make a conviction. recently reported that there is not one example of an acquittal because of entrapment. so this is all deflekdz and actually, i will tell you, muslims focusing on this entrapment are feeding into e theology of jihadist that tells them that americans are against them and against muslims and islam. they should be having rallies in portland supporting the fbi, thanking them for doing the work that muslims should be doing. we should be taking the offensive, muslims and not just belly aching.

>> bill: mr. hasan, you disagree with that. why? >> well, the problem i have with dr. jasser is that i have got documentation here from the top three muslim groups isna cair and impact. with you look at them isna is running a workshop to get muslims hired by the homeland security department. impact has a page. they have run a program for five years now connecting the fbi with mosques that's been very successful and cair has page where they lift fbi information and encourage muslims to report suspicious activity. this is dr. jasser's group the american islamic forum. this is their page. there is nothing here, resources linking muslims to the fbi or cia or homeland security. this a volunteer page. the thing that jasser is asking for most is help with marketing and help with fundraising. so i think it's a bit -- i this dr. jasser is being a double-talking hypocrite. >> bill: wait a minute now. you are attacking the man personally hold it mr. hasan, knock it off, man. you are attacking the man permanently. we don't do it here. stop it right now. his -- mr. jasser. >> he is the only group that

doesn't help connect muslims with the fbi. >> bill: knock it off. no personal attacks. read my lips. dr. jasser believes that muslim americans should go to portland, publicly thank the fbi for arresting this man. do you believe that? >> bill, i do believe that, but we have to remember this man was turned in by his own father who is a fellow american muslim. >> bill: that's right. that's a good point. >> which dr. jasser is not recognizing. again, i'm going to get back to these groups, isna, impact, and cair are all demonstrating strong relationships. >> bill: nobody is casting aspersions on any muslim american groups. >> i think it is wrong for dr. jasser -- >> bill: this is about muslim reaction. >> talking with his group. >> bill: this is about muslim reaction to, yet, another young man charged with a very serious crime. all right. if you read the affidavit, he was willing to go to pioneer square during a christmas tree lighting ceremony and kill women and children.

so, how is the american muslim community going to react? now, i'm heartened and i think it's a good thing that both of you agree that the fbi did its job. go ahead, doctor. >> and i think what ali is doing is clearly he is using these groups that have -- their programs really don't mean anything if you look at exactly homegrown terrorism is more of a threat today than it has been at any time. mr. lighter today from the national counter terrorism center said that one of these is going to get through. so it's not an issue much entrapment. >> bill: i don't think it's fair doctor to take -- wait, wait, wait. >> i didn't want you curing your personal attacks. >> bill: i'm interrupting you. i stuck up for you, doctor. >> you are avoiding the ideologies. you don't want to deal with the fact that we have to reform the ideas within our faith community. can talk about communicating with fbi -- our organization's web site is about internal change that it's our problem. we own it. >> bill: doctor, you don't have to defend your organization on this program, all right? i will tell you two things.

number one, it's not fair of to you criticize cair, okay? because cair isn't fostering any kind of jihad, as far as i know. number two, mr. hasan, i think that there has been -- there has been in the past a silence that most americans recognize from the american muslim community and dr. jasser has broken out of that a little bit, that americans say where are you guys? we want you to condemn jihad louder like me. i'll giving you the also a word, mr. hasan. go. >> bill, i appreciate the last word. bill, i don't know what else you want muslim groups to do. they are providing resources and recruiting muslims to join homeland security. cair has a page encouraging people to call the fbi. impact has a program. >> bill: good public rallies around the country would be a first step. so you ask me a question. i'm giving you an answer. get out there. show the american people. >> i think they are doing terrific work. >> bill: gentlemen, thank you

very much. we appreciate it thank you, gentlemen. plenty more as the factor moves along this evening. megyn kelly on why congressman charlie rangel is not going to jail for tax evasion while wesley snipes is jimmy kimmel apparently mocked me this week. can that be possible? we hope you stay tuned to those [ male announcer ] you are a business pro. lord of the carry-on. sovereign of the security line. you never take an upgrade for granted. and you rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. and go. you can even take a full-size or above. and still pay th mid-size price. i deserve this.

30-year-old alicia arnold 19 weeks pregnant and is thinking about terminating her fetus because she is in a bad emotional state according to her blog. husband pete arnold disputes some of this but there is no disputing the fact couple has asked americans to vote on whether the abortion should take place and 2 million people have. with us now the culture warriors "fox & friends" co-anchor gretchen carlson and fox news analyst margaret hoover. number one, this is disgusting. this is a human life we are talking about, is it not? >> this is a potential human life. >> bill: i don't mind your description there. it's a potential human being containing human d.n.a. right at this moment. >> correct. >> bill: so it's disgusting that you would put this up for a vote on whether to execute it, am i wrong. >> the decision to have an abortion is a deeply personal decision between a woman, her family, her doctor, her god, not her government, and not the public at large. it should not be open to a vote.

>> bill: why do you think these pinheads are doing this? >> why does anybody put their life out there for the ether and for the world to find out. i think they are looking for attention. they are clearly opening this up to people. >> duh. >> bill: they want their 15 minutes of fame. is that what you say. >> i say this is completely what is wrong with the internet. for gosh sake, with the most intimate personal decision about whether or not you keep a pregnancy? you are going to go to 2 million voters whom you don't even know? >> bill: by the way, this is what makes me suspicious of the whole thing. 77% of the people who voted on this crazy thing say the woman should have the abortion. 23% say they shouldn't. whenever you get something like, this the audience should understand you get the pressure groups. >> in what happened was within 30 hours they got a million votes mostly in the proabortion direction. >> bill: pressure groups said oh you have got to do. this you have got to do that makes it more disgusting.

>> what kind of world do we live in. >> bill: you know what kind of world we live, in carlson. >> kids are growing up and they are now going to blog about whether or not they should break up with their boyfriend or whether or not they should study for an exam? give me a break. >> bill: it is. it's disturbing. >> i read the blog today. read all the comments. the comments really landed on there. they are really justly harsh and critical. >> bill: of this couple. >> of this couple. and everyone one in ten was sort of think about what you are doing here. >> bill: if they could think, they wouldn't do it? >> it isn't clear from the beginning and all the stuff that i read that they were actually really going to execute what the vote was. >> bill: i don't expect them to do anything. if they do, we will report it. >> pro-choice and -- >> bill: the fact that they would put the spectacle up is is revolting. >> and listen to the end result? >> bill: talk about spectacle when you are driving through new jersey through the tunnel moo mid-atlantic there is a big

billboard. if you don't want to belief in god, fine. believe in bill maher, he created everything. all right? but why, why would you want to run down and i have asked this question before carlson, why do you want to run down people's sincere beliefs by this kind of an exposition? do they think this is going to create more atheists? >> gretchen: because you and i and margaret are talking about. this so we are giving this the attention that they know that we will. >> bill: makes people angrier against atheists. >> number two. they never put up these billboards in july, do they? they always have to try to hijack christmas season. >> bill: tell me why. what is the mentality put this stuff up and offend people who believe in christmas. >> this society has made it easier for them to do that. >> i know why. >> bill: you are not answering. >> i went to the web site my name is hoover i went to the web site. here is why they say they do it at christmas. they do it at christmas, bill,

because atheists feel alone during christmas because everyone sells religious and together. and they also -- this is what the web site says. they have it right here. >> bill: why don't they go to atheist parties? >> they feel closeted because they feel like they can't come out. >> bill: this is. >> christians feel alone at christmas. >> bill: they can't come out. the entire month of december they can't come out? >> that's crazy. >> this is what they say. >> that is so crazy. christians feel alone at christmas in this society that we live. in because we are supposed to be tolerant of every religion oh, except christianity. especially around christmas time. >> bill: i don't feel alone and i'm a christian. by the way, hoover, i know your name. i was going to say that carlson won't answer the question why don't you. don't try that stuff with me. >> here is the answer. the answer is that atheists feel alone during the holidays. >> bill: feel alone? >> intended to encourage them to be honest with themselves and their family members. >> bill: about hating christmas. >> about not believing in god.

>> bill: walk around with a big sign i don't believe in god. that would be good. then everybody will know. >> they need encouragement to come out of the closet. >> bill: do you want the last word? >> i do. in a recent poll 91% of americans said yes, we believe in a god or a universal spirit. get over it. >> bill: get over what? >> get over the fact that overwhelming majority of this country doesn't agree with your billboard. >> bill: there they are. the culture warriors, ladies and gentlemen. when we come right back, megyn kelly has been investigating why congressman charles rangel is not going to prison for tax evasion. then jimmy kimmel, using the christmas season to mock me your humble correspondent. a national outrage up ahead. gecko: good news sir, i just got an email from the office

to get prosecuted. >> bill: telling me backed up by megyn kelly is that i can try to get away with it, but if i'm caught i just pay up. >> i think that's actually right. don't you see the advertisements? i think we run them on our air coming around in april of every year saying call us. you have got a window. >> bill: that's offensive to those of us who do pay our taxes. >> wrong gel's defense there was a language barrier. >> bill: oh language barrier. >> he wasn't sure. he didn't understand. >> bill: charles has spoken english. any way he is being cren suffered now. >> the dominican republic. that's where the villas were. he said he never actually got a check. it was like the rental income was going to pate mortgage i guess. >> bill: okay, good. >> that's the deal. >> bill: congressman is taking care of rangle. here is what rangle said today, go. >> there is absolutely no excuse for myomission for my responsibility to obey those rules. i take full credit and for the responsibility of that, i brought it on myself.

but i still believe that this body has to be guided by fairness. >> bill: it's fair to censure yourself, charles. i like rangel. >> he is a likeable guy. >> bill: you can't be doing in this at your level. >> censure historically is a big deal. at the end of the day it's really like a public dressing down gill. >> bill: you just get scolded. he got reelected anyway up in harlem. they don't care. >> avoid the embarrassment of standing in the middle of well of congress and being scolded. >> bill: the reason the good people of harlem don't care they think the system is stacked against him anyway and he brings home bacon. that's more important to the voter than what rangel does in his taxes. >> his point is it may not be that bad to the average citizen but it's a big deal in the house. it hasn't happened in many years. this will be the first time in 30 years. and he says, look, historically been used for people who do really bad things like sexual assault not failing to pay

taxes. >> bill: that was the -- page scandal way back. this is the wrong message to send. if you don't get away with it then you should pay. everybody should pay. the program "glee" a big hit. took a couple shots at lindsay lohan. roll the tape. >> lindsay lohan is. [speaking spanish] >> excuse me, ms. holiday a word.

defamation lawsuit against the show which is totally baseless. >> bill: it's a publicity stunt. >> that's what it is to me. the two statements at issue is lindsey is crazy and how many times has she been to rehab five. the first one is a an opinion that you can't sue over and the second one is a fact. she has been to rehab five times. >> bill: can you do anything in the united states to a public figure. that's the downside of being a public figure. >> bill: guy gets in on a drug beef. 1993 rape conviction. >> served six years. >> bill: guy gets in front of the judge. he gets convicted on the drug beef and he has got to go to jail. >> right. >> bill: but he says, look, i have to take care of a relative. >> my dad had a stroke. >> bill: let me out to do this and then he goes out and rapes another woman. >> he says put off my sentencing, basically, for a month so i can take care of my dad who just had a stroke. and the judge no good deed goes unpunished especially when you are dealing with a convicted

felon. >> bill: i think he wasn't trying to help the felon he was trying to help the felon's dad. what ended up happening was the felon went out allegedly sexually assaulted another woman. an 18-year-old. >> bill: we know that because the woman that was sexually assaulted was also the victim of robbery and this guy had her stuff. what i'm trying to say to this judge at least he said i did something wrong. we called him and he said -- >> the judge said i deeply regret the outcome. of course he does. he doesn't foresee that the guy is going to you go out and rape someone. >> bill: rape is a crime just short of murder. it ruins people's lives. you don't cut people slack when you are into that arena. you smoke pot or steal a car okay but not rape. >> i think the way the court was looking at it or let's look at the charges he is facing now, selling crack cocaine. auto would i let him out for that? would i postpone a this hearing a month for that yes i would. you have to look entirety. >> bill: life of crime. >> judge -- should be a lesson to other judges.
