that is not a good thing. i do this, we -- nice threads. jack victor. if you want your letter written on the air you gotta catch my attention the first couple of seconds. we get thousands, i can only use a few. i am bill o'reilly. please remember the spin stops right here. we are definitely o o o o o o ot for you. >> sean: despite suffering historic losses in the midterms the democratic party still does not get it. senate democrats have unveiled a staggering 1.1 trillion dollar spending bill. contained within this monstrous piece of legislation are thousands of earmarks estimated to cost upwards of eight billion dollars. senate are leading the charge against this outrageous bill.

chief among them arizona senator mccain who had some very strong words for democrats, just yesterday. >> american people said just 42 days ago, enough! are we tone-deaf?my+(] are we stricken with amnesia? what is going on here? >> sean: senator mccain has released the so-called top 10 pork barrel projects in the bill. they include $350,000 for swine waste management in north carolina. $165,000 for maple research in vermont. over a million dollars for cranberry and blueberry research in new jersey. $413,000 for peanut research in alabama. $125,000 to buy fishing equipment in guam. today we learned that congress's approval rating has reached an all time low, 13%. the scary part about this number is that gallup conned the poll before this bill was unveiled. -- conducted this poll before

this bill was unveiled. joining me to respond the man himself arizona senator john mccain. >> thank you sean, great intro. could i add another $300,000 to string more lights along the columbus river walk in columbus, ohio. a million dollars for a sewer pipeline in north pole, alaska, population 1,700. not making these up. >> sean: bridge to nowhere, everywhere. i'm as perplexed as you are. why are these politicians so tone-deaf to the last election that just happened 43 days ago? >> i don't know but they are tone-deaf. it is a direct repudiation of the voters of last november 2nd. it is a direct insult sticking thumb right in their eye. i was on the phone with the tea partiers all over arizona today, they are outraged. i wanna see an uprising all

over this country, the same people that caused the victories, we got to hold these people to account. frankly, there's some republican senators who intend to vote for this there are many democrats, many who are up next time. i don't often give advice across the aisle. i say to my friends republican and democrat, you vote for this, you do a great -- you put your political future in great peril. >> sean: we are days from christmas. this is our christmas present every year they ram a 3,000 page bill or 2,000 page bill down the throat of the american people. these were supposed to be 12 separate, individual spending bills that should have been handled earlier in the year. now they are putting it together with all their omnibus. buying off each congressman and senator along the way to get this done. why did they wait so long? >> they waited because it was

political cowardice. they didn't want to take the votes before the election. by the way, we have no budget. there's a billion dollars in this pork barrel bill to start implementing obamacare. again, in direct contradiction to the votes of november 2nd. it is really -- i think this is a seminole moment. i say to my republican friends. they gave us a second chance last november. you saw the approval rating of congress is down to 13%. they gave us a second chance. if we republicans allow this to go through and i'm not sure they are gonna give us another chance. >> sean: president obama was elected. the first omnibus bill had 9,000 earmarks in it. let me play president obama on the campaign trail. you may remember some of these highlights. >> our earmark system, what's called pork barrel spending in washington is fraught with abuse. it badly needs reform. i pledge to slash earmarks by

more than half when i'm president of the united states of america. i'm not going to stan here and tell you what i'm going to spend. i'm going to tell you how i'm going to save. we will go through the entire federal budget page by page, line by line, eliminate programs that don't work. senator mccain talks earmark there is is no doubt the system needs reform and there are a lot of things we end up spending money on and]nmo, they need to be eliminated. >> sean: like he said on the campaign trail he would never support a deal that extended the bush tax cuts. >> all he's got to do is tell the democrats that he's going to veto this bill and we could shut it down in a new york minute. all we have to do is pass a 45 day clean continuing resolution. no earmark, no nothing, keep the government in being and operating until the middle of january, beginning of february. and let the new representatives of the voters of november 2nd, take charge

and go to work. that's all they have to do. >> sean: that was during the campaign. you knew well what was saying because you were running against him. after this recent midterm election he said the same thing. >> the president: i agree with those republicans and democratic members of congress who have recently said in these challenging days we can't afford what are called earmarks. as a senator i helped eliminate anonymous earmarks and created new measures of transparency so americans can better follow how their tax dollars are being spent. as president i've call for new limitations on earmarks. >> sean: as senator he requested 800 million dollars in earmarks. he said that november 13th, this year after the election. does the president's word mean anything any more? >> well, it certainly is part of the question. another thing he said during the campaign was all these negotiations on these legislation, including obamacare, was gonna be on c-span. this bill is written by a

handful of powerful senators, who are appropriators. without the input of any of the rest of us. none of the authorization that of that comes from the various committees, jammed into as you mentioned whatever it is, 2,000 page -- 1,924 page bill. then presented to us. not only violated all his other pledges but he has refused to tell the democrats to have some transparency and -- about this -- it is real an an egregious process. >> sean: is this bill going to pass, senator? >> right now i would say that it may, because we have five or six republican senators who may vote for it and a bunch of department dats obviously. if the american people speak up. if our tea partiers get going. come on up on my website, facebook, twitter, tell the democrats and republicans in congress to stop this.

i think that the american people can be heard and we can stop it. >> sean: by the way, bob bennet of utah leaving, voinovich, leaving they appear willing to go along. bond of missouri on the appropriations committee. i got very angry today senator at some republicans. here jim demint gave an opportunity to make these tax cuts permanent. there were six republican senators, scott brown, susan collins, mark kirk, lisa murkowski, olympia snowe, george voinovich all voted against the demint will which would have allowed the tax cuts to be permanent. did they understand the electorate in this election? >> i don't know. obviously, we were able to achieve, i think a significant success by extending all tax cuts. this mortgaging of our children's futures the debt and deficit. you look at it in one way we have a worse debt problem in the short term than greece and

spain does. what have they don't this senate and the house? it is really an outrage an insult to the american people. i hope that our viewers will get active, call and jam up their phonelines, get going. let's charge. >> sean: senator thanks for being with us. coming up the prospect of a government shutdown is on the horizon. congresswoman michelle bachmann, margaret hoover, here. plus reaction from a school board meeting

>> sean: democrats have until saturday to pass their omnibus bill unless the current funding will expire the stroke of midnight and washington will be closed -- forced to close shop. to keep this from happening the president can sign the pork-filled democratic bill into law or the senate can do as the house has and pass temporary spending bill to keep current levels through february option republicans and some democrats are taking. democrats do not remember the message of the midterm elections, republicans do. they are determined to stop this mad spending. >> americans told democrats

last month to stop what they've been doing. bigger government, 2,000 page bills jammed through on christmas eve. wasteful spending. this bill is a monument to all three >> i think it demonstrates profound disrespect for the american people. the senators and congressmen who are going to be leaving and who will never be held politically accountable for this spending, i think are showing disrespect for those of us who will be left behind to try to cleanup the mess, come january. >> sean: what will it take for democrats to understand this spending has to stop? me sandra smith. and fox news contributor, margaret hoover is here. what? >> i have no -- you and i both know that i am very conservative. >> sean: i'm kidding it was a joke. i said and boy did she get defensive fast. >> no one can afford to be branded as being liberal by

sean hannity. it is false. >> sean: i agree. i'm about to be -- you are going to defend me? >> i think she is fiscally conservative. >> sean: first of all the utter arrogance of these guys. >> it is the health care bill all over again. i was channeling nancy pelosi when i was list . let's pass this so we can see what is in it. 2,000 pages, eight billion of earmarks. this is a mess. they are trying to cram this in before christmas. either the democrats transfer power in the house in november, either the democrats are ignoring the message sent in november. or as you continue to say, they just don't get it. >> they are lining up, this is like their christmas shopping. lining up in front of wal-mart waiting for everyone to say go, this is your minute before you are out this is their window

and they are going for it this is the largest failure, two or three times in american history has this happened the budget process failed for an entire fiscal year. [ talking over each other ] >> behind doors, no input, no say. they didn't pass a budget resolution the entire year. >> sean: talk about inefficiency in government. why did we have a historic midterm, biggest changeover in 70 years, if not for this reason? then back to the cornhusker kickback, bribery, last minute deals -- >> this isn't a partisan thing. if you look into this omnibus bill, this is republicans as well as democrats throwing all this pork. >> sean: there is truth to that. but there's a caveat. mitch mcconnell as these bills were making their way through the year he might have supported it. he's now made a pledge after the election saying i the

message. >> sandra is right. they made a pledge for earmark reform. there are republicans who have earmarks including mitch mcconnell. [ talking over each other ] >> sean: this is important. i am very critical. republicans have voted against extending the bush tax cuts permanently, scott brown, olympia snowe, lisa murkowski, voinovich and others. i'm furious at all of them. mcconnell always said he supported earmarks until after the election. i am not defending republicans. >> he put earmarks in. >> sean: but he's opposing the bill. >> that is still disingenuous. >> reporter: i don't want to defend this any republican that supports earmarks does not get the mood of the people. so, he changed after the election. >> did he really change? >> sean: yes. >> this bill has earmarks in it. >> sean: he's not supporting the bill, so yes.

>> this all goes back to the fact there's no accountability in washington. yes, there are earmarks from both parties. no accountability, nobody wants to cut the fat where fat is necessary to be cut. they are pointing fingers at each other. yes they have earmarks in that bill any republican that said they would not have that, they better vote against this. >> not only vote it, they should rescind putting earmarks in. our fault we heard you loud and clear and we mean what we say. >> sean: mitch mcconnell said and i interviewed him. he said he always supported earmarks. now he hears the american people and he's changed. i'm giving him credit this was in there before. he didn't write this bill, he didn't see this bill. come january, any republican that shoves earmarks in a bill we are going to put their faces names up on the screen and identify them for the american people. >> i just had quote in front of me. he said it has become abundantly clear nobody has

gotten the message from november's election. >> republicans need to remember loud and clear they are on probation still. they have to earn their way become and they have no room for leeway. >> sean: i want to go to the six ran so-called centrist, brown, collins, kirk, murkowski, snowe, join in the omnibus bill bob bennet is going to support that, he's leaving. all of those republicans are acting like democrats. >> we should call mitch mcconnell and get him to whip his low to vote it. >> sean: how do you get snowe and coll lens onboard >> i'm pro gay marriage and every other issue i'm down the line conservative. >> sean: good to see you both.

merry christmas to both of you. >> the motion is agreed to. >> sean: obama tax cut deal passes the senate. now it is on to the house. michelle bachmann is here. >> completely inappropriate to wrap this up into a 2,000 page bill and try to pass it the week before christmas. >> sean: more outrage over the spending frenzy on the hill. juan williams on our great, great american panel. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] some people just know how to build things well. give you and your loved ones an expertly engineered mercedes-benz... ho ho ho!

earlier today the senate overwhelmingly pass the tax bill with an 81-19 vote. now legislation is passed on to the house where it could hit a major roadblock. president obama's political clout has been hit hard by

house democrats furious over the so-called compromise. it is not just his friends on the left who are unhappy. house republicans are also split on whether or not to support the bill. incoming house budget chair congressman paul ryan said the bill must pass one way or the other. >> this is better than the alternative. the alternative is a massive tax increase. there's a lot of stuff in here that i don't like. of this pack can the mass majority of republican tax policies. >> sean: not all share congressman ryan's position. michelle bachmann introduced legislation that would make the tax rates permanent while repealing death tax and gift tax and joins us to explain. welcome back. >> always great to see you, thanks. >> sean: you are against this legislation? you are going to vote against it? >> i will be voting it. again, the legislation is not paid for. the problem is spending that is not paid for that is adding to the deficit.

it is an excess of 800 billion dollars. it also blows a hole in the social security trust financed of about 100 -- 110 billion dollars in addition to the 57 billion we will be paying out in unemployment benefits. >> sean: pence is against it, king, a lot of conservatives have come out it. i might have a dispute with you over the 800 billion. doesn't that include the projected income revenues by raising taxes? >> yes, it includes continuing the tax rates as they currently are, which says again, we need to cut spending. we all recognize that's the first priority. i'm for expend the current tax rates. that's a good thing. in fact, i would like to drop them even below what they currently are. what we want do is add to that mix of increased spending by blowing a hole in the social security trust fun. and by adding to the

unemployment benefits additional 57 billion dollars. what it would do, is have us say to the voters that voted clearly and forthrightly in november that at this point we still aren't listening. >> sean: did we get an answer what came out of the senate bill? were the ethanol subsidies thrown in, the final one that voted on? were the rum subsidies in there? has anyone had a chance to read this? >> that's part of the problem. that's what people were furious about in november. they want us to chain the way we do business here. they want us to have committee hearings in the open. this bill neglected to do. this is all fashioned behind closed doors. we get this, we aren't able to read the bill. yes, i understand it still has the ethanol subsidies. >> sean: your bill you proposed today. you would make the tax cuts permanent. eliminate the death and gift tax. do you have enough support to

get in bill? i now congressman pence in the house and senator demint they have a bill that would make the tax cuts permanent. there's no chance nancy pelosi is going to allow that vote to take place on the floor, is she? >> very unlikely. my bill would also keep the -- lower the corporate tax rate from the current 34% down to 25% that. would be a huge inducement for creating jobs here in the country. we need to have a pro jobs piece of legislation not what president obama is putting forward. >> sean: is any republican gonna support this pork laden, lard-filled omnibus bill that the senate is pushing today? >> i haven't heard of one republican in the house that has any plan to support this bill. i would highly urge any of them not to. this is a terrible vote. it is 1.1 beyond, as you said,

with 6600 earmarks. candidate obama said he would veto any bill that has earmarks. now is his time to put up or shut up and veto this bill. >> sean: i'm not looking forward it to. back to the tax deem for -- tax deal for just a second. if in fact you did not pass a bill. you come back january 5th, new come res, now you have the majority. you have more senators onboard. that means what? you can have a cleaner bill without spending in it and you are confident you can get that passed then? you think barack obama would cave before the end of the year? >> i did. again, what we could do is have the tax cuts retroactive back to january 1st. no one wants to do this. no one should forget this lies at the feet of speaker pelosi. for four years she has known this date is going to come. and she neglected to pass a budget. ing ined to pass spending

bills. neglected to pass a tax bill. here we are two weeks from january 1st, and her work isn't done this is a failure on her part. now she wants to hurry, hurry, hurry. i don't think republicans should feel compelled that we have to bail her out, so to speak. i do believe we can have a better deal when the republicans take the majority conservative conservatives will put a clean bill forward. >> sean: they got don't ask don't tell today in the house pushing the dream act and issues in the final days. remarkable how tone-deaf they are. congresswoman thanks for an update. >> thank you sean. >> sean: if the tax cut compromise and spending bills are not enough democrats are at work on another nightmare before christmas. they are trying to ram it through in congress, as we speak. we have an investigative report with michelle malkin, next. first, desperate times call for desperate measures obama administration now calling on

referring to it as a frankenstein bill. prince harry reid is not deterred. >> we have a lands bill that the senators worked on. we are going to try to get agreement to move forward on that. christmas is a week from saturday. i understand that. but i hope the republicans understand it also. because, we are going to complete our work, no matter how lone it takes in this congress. we have to do the work of the american people. >> sean: joining me with reaction the author of the "new york times" best seller culture of corruption michelle malkin is back. he wasn't happy, harry reid about being referred to as the grinch. i don't need sanctimonious lectures from jon kyl and jim demint to remind me what christmas means. this is -- you picked up something that is disastrous, we are so wrapped up in omnibus bill, so wrapped up on the tax bill, don't ask,

didn't tell, dream act, what you're pointing out, omnibus bill, everything else. what are they trying to do in the lame duck session days before they are out of power? >> it amazing the lack of restraint and just how out of control these extremists are in washington. that is what they are, and need to be called out as, radical extremists trying to shove as much pork in the case of the omnibus public landfill, green pork, down our throats before the new session takes place. i'm calling this particular thing an omnibus double whammy. you have the 2,000 page omnibus spending bill that was dropped yesterday. lurking in the background this more than 300 page omnibus public lands bill which is a huge land grab buy the radical greens. they've been pushing this for months. it has been under the radar.

it occludes the appropriation of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of acres of land that will be off limits to economic activity. these are the same job-killers from the interior department, ken salazar, carol browner pushing in the background behind the scenes. it is going to cause all sorts of economic damage to the vilified induce of logging, mining, recreation, hunting, fishing. i think the republicans, some of them have done a good job. you mentioned hate continues also james inhofe in calling attention to all of the spas sieve regulatory power these things would hand to the feds. >> sean: you discuss this in your column. first the democrats they are going to get their way there, there's a real human impact in all of this. it is going to be a real

threat to the financial livelihood and security for thousands and thousands of untold numbers of workers, mining workers, logging workers. we killed the offshore drilling industry off the coast of louisiana. this is really disastrous, especially at a time when jobs are hard to come by. >> yes, that's right. there's an added insult and injury to this as well in addition to all of the financial damage, it is also a threat to our national security. he has been pushing for wildlife and preservation, wilderness designations along the southern border. huge, vast swaths of land that they want to put off-limits not only to economic activity, but to border enforcement. on a day like today when we had a border patrol agent just killed in arizona, buy-out laws, who have come across the border and that the obama administration cannot control, the last thing we need to be

doing is hampering the border patrol even more not just from protecting us, but from protecting themselves. >> sean: this election was 43 days ago. is it pure arrogance, tone-deafness. almost breath taking to think they are trying all these shenanigans and an election just occurred the biggest defeat in a midterm in 70 years. >> yeah. it is no surprise. we knew, after the mid term election results they would turn their noses at the will of the people, like they've done over the last two years. nobody is surprised that all of these bills have been dropped at the last minute when people are not paying attention. they've turned every last one of these things into a christmas tree the federal government can't even do its basic fundamental constitutionally mandated duties of passing budgets. of course there should be massive outrage across the country. we get a fresh, clean state

[ shots ]

>> sean: there's more video graphic that we didn't show. first that guy that was talking said i'm the one that did this, his wife got fired. let all the other guys go. a woman at one point, we have the video of this. she comes in and comes from behind and tries to take the gun from the guy. look at this woman. it is a pretty amazing story about how people, you know deal with that. the guy ended up killing himself. your reaction? >> thank goodness no one else was injured. there were students in the room earlier. this was a case of someone who was really had serious problems, machine tall problems. he was trying to take it out on other individuals and he should not have done that. when that woman hit his arm with the bag. i would have rushed the guy. i would have done something. >> you mean the people on the panel.

>> i could not sit there and let him tack shots at people. >> sean: i've been shooting since i was 11-years-old and it is a miracle. >> he wasn't just a lunatic, he was a terrible marksman. every time something like this happens it is an spanishing the bravery of american people. you have the guy on the school board saying let everyone else go the woman charging in with the handbag and the then the armed guard shooting him. he was upset at having to have to shoot him. there's also a lesson. what stopped these guys is someone else with a again. you can have a hand bag, try to talk him out of it -- >> sean: apparently, i want you to respond to what rich said. >> craziness is there are so many guns. especially, you hear from people who are supporters of gun rights for everyone. they say, you know what, it is

not the guns, it is the person. then why is a guy who had been charged with stalking, previously with shooting a missile into a vehicle, had been in prison, why is that guy allowed to have a again? >> sean: i've had weapons my whole life. but i've been well trained in the use of a firearm. i agree. if you are a felon you shouldn't have a again. >> so there's a break town when people like that can get guns. unfortunately, what we are seeing in this country is there's a pipeline from states with laxed gun laws so people up with guns and commit crimes or become mentally unstable and shooting you and me. >> unfortunately, criminals find a way to get guns. if you have a state where they are not gun-friendly with the second amendment, the criminal knows that. they know if they are going into a house they know that person is not supposed to have a gun. so citizens should be allowed to on a gun if they choose to.

>> assuming this guy had more ammunition if there hadn't been an anned guard he would have walked behind the table and killed everyone. >> i'm not saying that police shouldn't have guns. police have a legitimate reason to have a gun k >> what about law abiding citizens? >> unless you have a reason like you are being threatened. >> i'm a gun owner. >> are you packing right now? >> i might be. >> i think i'd better be quiet. >> sean: -- >> you are reading from something that has to did with -- to do with a militia. >> it's an individual right. >> i think of the could is wrong. as someone who lives in a big city -- >> sean: you want people to have guns? >> i don't think it is good. >> police can't be everywhere. citizens should have the right to protect themselves and their families.
