>> bill: o'reilly factor is on. tonight: [explosions. >> bill: today marks the ninth an verse sorry of the coalition an invasion of iraq. did that decline the power in the world. karl rove may analyze. >> i may get some obama buck. that's what i'm doing obama money. >> i'm here to get checks. i want a check. >> bill: shocking new video showing welfare recipients talking about their situation. juan and mary katharine will analyze that. >> what has happened that we are fighting again for reproductive rights in america? >> unbelievable. >> bill: rosie o'donnell injecting herself in the sandra fluke controversy. you knew it would happen. >> how did this happen? >> bill: caution, you where to enter the no spin zone.

the factor begins right now. captions by closed captioning services >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the decline of american power continues. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. a few months ago t points stated that the u.s.a. is declining in power mainly because of our weakened economic position which includes everything we do including military action. right now there are three very troubling challenges to american leadership. first, afghanistan. president karzai now demanding the u.s. and coalition forces pull back from the countryside and basically stay in designated bases. karzai is corrupt inseptember leader reminiscent of the south veems clowns who ruined their country inspite of 60,000 measures killed there trying to defend south vietnam. karzai has legit beefs. you have got to expect blow

backs when a sergeant masters 16 civilians. all in all the u.s.a. has sacrificed massive, massive blood and treasure to try to give the afghan people a better life. karzai couldn't care less. is he truly a villain. in iran, the mullahs continue to defy the united states and the world because they don't fear president obama. perhaps they should. mr. obama is on record as saying he will not allow the iranians to build a nuclear weapon. the president can't back down from that if he is elected we can expect military action against iran unless they wise up. the big reason the iranians can defy the u.s.a. is because china is helping them. here is the main challenge to american power. the chinese will understand we have a 16 trillion-dollar debt and they are holding more than a trillion dollars of it. economically, we are beholden to communist china. and things are getting worse. you will remember that president obama said his new budget would reduce the deficit by 3.2 trillion over the next 10 years. now, now. the nonpartisan congressional budget office says that's

bogus. the cbo predicting the add 3.5 trillion to the debt in the next 10 years. if that's true, that's a 9 trillion-dollar mistake by the obama administration. and nothing is being done to solve the immense spending problem. today marks the ninth anniversary coalition attack on saddam hussein. back in 2003, we quickly deposed the heinous dictator while trying to give the iraqi people a better life. the same thing we are doing now in afghanistan. that invasion in iraq marked a downturn. since then $1.2 trillion in actions in iraq and afghanistan. money we simply don't have. in addition, more than 6,000 military people have lost their lives. nearly 50,000. 50,000 have been wounded. talking points america needs resurrection. get the federal government under control. come up with a budget. reinvigorate economy by allowing the private

marketplace to run. president obama is smart enough to understand that but he continues to play to his left wing base. 8 months from now. that may lead to his defeat. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction, joining us from iraq washington. fox news analyst karl rove who was in the white house nine years ago today when the iraq invasion began. where am i going wrong here, mr. rove. >> first pick out the areas of agreement. you are right picking iran as a significant security threat to the region to the very existence to israel. it has been mishandled by the president. i think you are also right in pointing out the debt as being our biggest economic driver. it's keeping our economy from growing and it represents a real threat to america's prosperity. i would say -- i need to correct your numbers a little bit. the public debt of the united states the debt is composed of two things. public debt secure ties to the form of bond and sold to someone is roughly $10.1 trillion and the chinese own a trillion dollars plus of that.

the total debt is over $15 billion. but the difference between 15 billion and. >> bill: trillion you said billion. >> trillion. government obligations. one part of the government owes the government another part. the cbo said that the end of 2022 that that would be roughly $18 trillion the administration had forecast $15 trillion. and, look, historically the administration the obama administration is underestimated the deficit and underestimated its spending but you are right. it represents a huge threat and they're doing little, even congress is doing a little bit to restraining it but the president's budget proposal, which is what we are talking about here calls, you know, sort of says after next year we are going to dramatically increase spending again and let it go wild. >> bill: so, look. and as i said in the talking points memo. barack obama is smart enough to know what you just said. all right? he knows he went go up against

the left wing of the democratic party. that shows me that he is not putting his country first. that he is putting his political fortunes before the welfare of the united states. and i don't think there is any question about that i agree is he smart. your diagnosis this is a problem. i think he thinks we can solve this by simply raising taxes. >> bill: come on. even if you raise taxes, the cbo's revenue prediction don't come close to covering. nobody on earth will say raise taxes and you can cover. you can't cover. >> right. we have got to restrain discretionary spending. but we have to do something which is very tough for this president to do and that is restrain entitlement spending over the medium and long term which means we need to act and act now. now, i do disagree with you on a couple of points. karzai i have a slightly different view. you can call him inept and say it's a corrupt regime. i don't think is he personally corrupt. >> bill: hold on. let me stop you.

explain then the afghan bank run by his cronies. >> brother. i don't think he has a bank account set aside. >> bill: i don't think he knows what his brother is doing with the afghan bank and siphoning off all that money. >> yeah. i think they accept this as business as usual. >> bill: that's corruption. >> i know. there is a difference between the tolerating corruption and being corrupt yourself. >> bill: no there isn't a difference. if you tolerate you are corrupt. hold on. let's say he is inept and toler rates corruption. i don't think the problem though is that the biggest problem this guy is sitting there saying to himself. president obama sent less than three quarters of the troops that the commander said needed to secure iraq as part -- afghanistan as part of the surge. then he turned around around said they're out of here on a date certain. this guy is now trying. >> bill: he has all the right in the world to be teed off. this guy, now we find out the afghan air force is dealing heroin.

transporting heroin on the planes. this guy knows what's going on. he is corrupt. >> he is not necessarily tolerating that pay attention to the main point. which is this guy is trying to figure out how he can keep his country together once america bales out on him which we indicated we are trying to do, why are going to do. >> bill: london with a big flat with a big swiss bank account. last question here. do i believe that america's decline started when the iraq war went south. i do believe that. >> i don't agree. >> so much money. so much horror. >> bill, you are wired up about a trillion two spent on afghanistan and iraq. that includes incidentally the cost of keeping our military even wasn't in combat together during that period of time. look at this. we spent $862 billion in one year on a failed stimulus bill. we are spending $600 billion on welfare payments that the president set up in a program called making work pay which takes money from people who pay taxes and gives it to

people who don't pay taxes. right for us after 9/11 would not tolerate a failed state in afghanistan that served as a base for attacks in our country. after 9/11 the change would we could no longer say tolerate a guy with wmd in the heart of the middle east. >> didn't work out the way we wanted it to. >> yes, it did. iraq is today a reasonably stable, somewhat democratic regime which represents a different model for the region. i remember sitting with the leader, with the chief of staff to the leader of the palestinian authority who said to me after the fall of saddam hussein does america understand that the world changed with the fall of the dictator and now we have hope in the middle east because of experiment that is taking place in iraq. we have no reason to apologize for it and it's not -- >> bill: i didn't apologize for it i thought what we did was try to give the iraqi people a better life. and that's noble. >> which they have got. >> bill: i think the blood and treasure spent has led to bad

things for us. look, we have a gentleman's disagreement as we often have. >> he we do. as we often do exactly. >> here is the latest bill o'reilly.com poll. is the afghan war worth fighting anymore? yes or no. we will give you the results tomorrow. next on the run down, shocking videotape welfare recipients in their own words. you have got to see this. who will win the illinois primary tomorrow night? we're coming right back.

recently she interviewed a bunch of southern people who disparaged president obama. now she has a new video where she talks with welfare recipients. >> i'm here trying to get some obama buck. that's what i'm doing. trying to get some obama money. >> i'm here to get some benefits. i'm here to get the checks. i want a check. >> tell me why you like obama. >> because he gives me stuff. >> election. >> obama. >> why? >> because he is black. >> when is the last time you actually worked? >> i would say about half a decade. >> you are perfectly healthy young man, why aren't you working right no. >> because my background. once you go to jail, it's hard to get a job. >> why should i help you?

[ laughter ] >> do you really want to work or do you want to just get a free check. >> i just want to get a free check. >> bill: joining us now to react fox news analyst mary katharineham and juan williams. >> >> what do you think of that. >> it's awful. you didn't show last week nancy pelosi had a video of poor whites in mississippi. people who rely on entitlement spending and they were all against obama even though of course they are the ones who need it now we show poor black people in urban setting. i think the problem here is poor people and ignorance, lack of education and these folks it seems to me are the ones who do blow up entitlement spending so are seniors who say government get

your hands off my medicare as if there is something crazy about that. >> bill: let's deal with what we have in front of us now. i mentioned about the southern people and disparaged president obama right now that's a very troubling video. you both admit that's very troubling, right? >> absolutely. >> bill: that's a subculture. there was one white woman in there. the rest obviously african-american. but it's a subculture that says, look, i'm a victim and you owe me and i'm going to support this president because he is going to deliver a bigger, you know, gift to me than the other guys will. it's hard to be fair, mary katharine. you can't say all welfare recipients are like that. i don't think they're. some of them are in bad circumstance, especially the children. what really the guy with the four baby mom mass and i have got five kids and i'm not going to work, too bad. i would put that guy in jail. i would put him in jail if i could. i would try to find a way to put him in jail.

you are not going to work. i don't want you walking around, spending juan williams' money. i will put you in jail and you can go do some job there so you don't get any more baby mommas pregnant. >> well, yeah, i think this is clearly a problem. i have spent a lot of my life in inner city black communities in schools. spent a lot of my life as you might imagine in conservative southern rural areas. i have had experience, saints and sinners both in people who rely on government and people who are not. the interesting thing about these two videos that alexander pelosi did. it's a nixon goes to china moment only alexandra pelosi could go to the 149 street in new york and examine this. there are, whether liberals want to admit it or not there are societal else on both sides of this coin. she actually dealt with both. i think it's an interesting thing for her to tackle because i don't know if she will come under the gun. i'm sure she is terrified of being called racist by doing the piece. in the sense that she does work. pay attention to. she should be lauded.

i still want to get into. >> here is -- what's interesting is that maybe it allowed liberals to look at this problem and say well this person is clearly not racist out to get these people. maybe it's an actual problem. >> then you are living in the land of oz. the discussion after that the liberal people said you are right. evil slaves give them whatever they want. >> that's what they said, juan. that's what they said. don't give me the look, that's what they said. mind set you are not going to get out. >> no. you talked about if you want to talk about radical leftist. those are people believe in repatriotation and that stuff goes down every time. majority of black people don't support it it majority of americans. >> what do you want with the mind set? how do you change the mind set that you just heard? is it possible to change it? >> yeah, it is. i think what we have to do one, we have to say to people you work in this country, this entitlement thing is a total bunch of bologna and it kills you. it hurts families, it hurts children and children are the ones who really bear the brunt

and you are thinking with four baby mommas. >> bill: go to their house and drag them out and say you work or you don't get any money? >> no. first of all there are people who are out of work in this country. >> bill: what do you do with them, juan, the hard core you just saw what do you do. >> with that crowd what you have got to do some of those people i don't know what we could do. i believe you start with education. give people opportunity. don't respond to opportunity -- >> hold on. >> wait a minute. what's wrong with what i said? >> bill: it's all -- >> stick up for you. >> bill: hypothetical. what do you say, mary katharine? >> look, i want to speak up for juan. we are both in favor of school choice partly because we grew up in communities we saw affected by. this. >> >> bill: school choice downed the road. >> change habits and communities. >> bill: 20 years it might work. what do you do with those people who want a handout, don't want to work and impregnating people all over the place. what do you women. this always going to be people among us who behave in that manner. i also think if you stop

encouraging that and stop treating everyone who says hey, if you can take care of yourself, you should as if that's a bad thing, that's the story that built america. that's the story of our grandparents and our parents that they in bad times and good supported themselves. supported their families and did not run to the government at every turn. that's what we have to be encouraging. >> we say you have got to work if you are on welfare. >> bill: absolutely. much stricter rules and regulations. anybody getting any dole money much stricter. >> a. agree. >> bill: new polling in the key state of illinois. the vote is tomorrow. brit hume will analyze. rosie o'donnell injecting herself in the sandra fluke controversy. you knew it would happen. we're coming right back. ♪ [ male announcer ] how could a luminous protein in jellyfish, impact life expectancy in the u.s., real estate in hong kong, and the optics industry in germany? at t. rowe price, we understand the connections of a complex, global economy. it's just one rean over 75% of our mutual funds

>> bill: hume zone segment tonight. illinois primary tomorrow. here is the latest polling:

according to a fox news chicago poll: >> joining us now from washington fox news chief political analyst brit hume. mitt romney won puerto rico over the weekend and got all the delegates there good shape in illinois. is that a turning point, brit. >> could be. i doubt it 54 at stake in illinois. romney will likely get the loin share of them. santorum isn't competing for all of them because once again he had problems delegates in place late in states. santorum if he loses big tomorrow will probably want to hang on to them is louisiana coming up saturday. >> bill: saturday. >> feels like his win in the south the last time out will give him, you know, a real chance to win in louisiana. it could be a blow to him. illinois is a state that doesn't set up particularly well for him. it's an important state. it's big midwestern state.

doesn't look good to lose big there. >> bill: media setting it up that illinois is more conservative now than it ever has been. and i love the media run up. that santorum could do well. because, again, we talked about this. mainstream media would love to have rick santorum as the nominee running against president obama. however, some polls today showed santorum beating obama one in one in the five, you know, key ohio, north carolina, florida those states. be careful what you wish for. i think that -- i think if romney wins big tomorrow night, that that will reenergize his campaign. that he will then become, go up another level hangs on to louisiana on saturday. >> i think gingrich is hanging on just to -- i think he maybe decided is he not going to win. riding around and campaigning and someone who is kind of fun. as long as the money hangs out why not do it. can't think of any other logic for campaign really unless he

thinks by getting some of the delegates that romney would get that he can help deprive romney of 1144. romney is sort of marching not by leaps and bounds but by important steps toward the big number and he is getting delegates and he he is even winning the night, you know, on delegates when he loses some sizeable contests. he lost those two southern states and yet on the night because of the islands outlining highlands he managed to poor on more delegates. marching toward the magic number. >> bill: people are bored with this right? >> i love this stuff. i live for this stuff. this is what i do. i'm getting tired of it myself. and, you know, i get kind of energized by the coverage as i think you do, bill. some of it is just quite remarkable. seems to be unwillingness to acknowledge that romney is winning and winning by a sizeable margin. >> bill: the press doesn't want him to win. you know. the press wants santorum to

win because they believe that president obama would be able to defeat rick santorum more easily than mitt romney. i want you to tell the joke you told me before we went on the air about killing lincoln because i want everybody to know the real brit hume. >> i was just saying that i enjoyed listening to you read the book on audio as i was driving down to florida and i was -- it was in the car and kind of like having you in the car there with me. like it always is between us. you talked, i listened. [ laughter ] >> bill: so you mocking me before we go on the air, implying that in the hume zone he doesn't get miss say. [ laughter ] >> i'm just -- look, i didn't say i didn't like it.

"the washington times" picked up on that and tried to talk with ms. dunn. >> what role did the white house play in not having sandra fluke appear before congress? >> good morning, how are you? >> i'm great. how are you? >> good. >> you know, i actually am not

going to -- news. you can call my office if you would like to get an interview, okay? >> bill: we called her office. she wouldn't talk to me either. in addition to that rosie o'donnell appeared on cnn and said this. >> what has happened that we are fighting again for reproductive rights in america? >> unbelievable. >> how did this happen? >> how did guys get to be the ones who could solely discuss it? i mean it's absolutely astonishing to me. it's the dark ages. >> it really is i tried to watch the republic convention and i think surely this can't be the cream of the crop. >> bill: apparently ms. o'donnell misspoke. the republic convention is in august. isn't that moretisha with her? no she is virginia fine actress. this was a joke. let me get this straight. because rick santorum doesn't believe in birth control,. >> right. >> bill: women's reproductive rights are under assault in the united states. >> he doesn't believe in many

things. is he against -- >> bill: one man. >> they are all joining him. is he going crazy and they have all decided to jump on that crazy train. >> bill: who is they all? >> all of the republicans. >> bill: every one of them? i haven't heard ron paul. >> ron paul is playing his own game at the moment. >> bill: gingrich isn't there on the birth control train, is he? >> they are all out there. they all are making statements that are anti-antiwoman and definitely out there. trying to outcrazy each other on statements they are making. >> bill: statement that mitt romney has made that is antiwoman? just one. just one statement. >> well, i do like mitt romney and -- >> bill: don't have a statement about mitt romney being antiwoman, do we. >> mitt romney definitely has not defended women on these issues. he did not come ahead and defend the women on the contraception issue. >> bill: here is my point. >> he is has joined said forums. >> bill: nobody is messing around with women's rick --

women's rights. rick santorum said their right to not reproduce or whatever is under assault. it seems to me that's a giant leap for mankind as space astronaut once said. am i wrong? >> in 2008. >> bill: yes. >> bush decided to cut funding for poor african women for birth control. >> bill: is that title 10? >> in africa. >> bill: oh in africa. because he cut spending for africa? >> in africa. africa, as a result, had more abortions and more deaths. what angelica houston and rosie o'donnell are trying to say is that what is going to happen in this country? are we going to enter the dark ages? >> bill: i didn't know after from infantry can a was involved. >> they could mess with birth control with other women are we going to mess with birth control in our own country. >> bill: not messing with anything. i think there is a giant leap

these ladies are taking. as far as strategy is concerned, i think it's pretty smart for the obama administration to target women votes, all right? this is one way to them them. scare them. then because clearly, clearly rosie o'donnell and angelica houston are frightened. i don't want them to be frightened. so they're more likely to vote for president obama. you know me. i'm a compassionate man. >> religious freedom it is not about religious freedom. obama administration simply pointed out this is about a woman's right. >> bill: which are intact. title 10 gives free birth control. birth control anywhere. i mean they're intact? >> the religious argument saying oh my gosh, these women shouldn't have birth control. we are forced to give birth control had nothing to do with religion. >> bill: not that they shouldn't but other people might not want to be paying for it. that would be the argument. >> birth control is not just birth control for sex. birth control is used for many

different issues and for women's health. women's health issue. >> bill: condition that requires that absolutely should be covered. the other issue is a religious issue. all right, cathy. thanks for coming on. we appreciate it always good to see you. you are note frightened, are you? are you okay? >> i know my president will protect me and defend me. >> bill: ms. o'donnell and ms. houston, if you are frightened, call me and i will absolutely take care of you. >> bill: come right back msnbc commentator admits taking $200,000 from labor unions. senator scott brown pretty good comedy routine on saint patrick's day mocking romney and santorum among others. you will see it up ahead. oh dear! ohh dear... i'm not sure exactly what happened here last night. i was out helping people save money on their car insurance. 2 more! you're doing it! aren't they doing great?! hiiiiiii!!

receiving 2,000 $ from the afl-cio. gave the money including paid speeches to the american cancer society. however, web site politico says schultz donated only 100,000 to the cancer charity. joining us from miami the purveyor of bernard goldberg got come. i remember when i was first hired by cbs news i think you were already there for 75 years when i came. >> hey, hey, hey. >> bill: they gave me the cbs pinheads a big packet of information that said i couldn't take money from anyone i reported on. obviously mr. schultz very prounion person, a lot of union have standards changed? >> when you were and i were at cbs news. if we ever took 2,000 $ from the afl-cio from some corporation and did stories, presumably favorable stories about them. they would throw us out so quickly bill they wouldn't know what hit us. those standards haven't changed. what's changed is the media

landscape. ed schultz and a lot of others on cable tv aren't journalists. we were journalists. they are not journalists. this is where it gets tricky. but they do shows where they sit in front of, you know, in back of desks that look like anchor desks. they interview news makers, they talk about the news of the day. it's sort of, kind of, looks like journalism but it isn't journalism. >> bill: that's an important point. ed schultz primarily is a radio talk show guy. that's what he does. radio talk show host. and he gives his opinion and radio talk show hosts are allowed to take money, anybody. anyone they want. all right? they can do commercials. they can juggle on the air and ring ling brothers. they can do whatever they want. but then when they get hired by nbc news, all right? because that's who pays schultz' salary. they pay his salary. so, therefor he he is in a different world now. no doubt about it in one year the afl-cio gave him 200,000.

that's a lot of money, okay? whatever he did the with money really doesn't matter because he didn't disclose during his commentaries on the air that are all prounion 100% down the line that he received this enormous amount of money from this labor union. he didn't say it. so, i'm saying to myself, gee, that seems to be a pretty flagrant violation of nbc news standards. i agree it's wrong. not a violation of msnbc standards. reasked them about that today. they say as long as he gives the money to charity and says in advance or asks permission in advance to speak to a certain group it's okay. >> bill: he doesn't have to viewer. he just has to get permission from the -- >> that's right. that's their standard. they can have whatever standards they want. that is not my standard. i think absolutely they have -- he has to tell the

viewer that he has got a vested interest. now, i want to make something clear. i don't think for a second if the aflcio was trying to buy goodwill ed shoults for $200,000 they wasted their money because they would have got it for free anyway. $200,000 is a lot of money. i think there are some people in the media world who would go on television and say that their mother plays second base for the mets if somebody paid them $200,000. >> bill: i think it's more than that though. i think it's a reward. i think there is a -- you say they would have gotten it any way. it depends. depends on how much passion you bring to it. but say, and this isn't a hypothetical because we don't know where $100,000 of this money is right now. we don't know. all right? so, 100,000 has been established cancer society got. but 100,000, according to politico, and we're taking their reporting and we haven't vetted it ourselves is very hard to do that.

we don't have subpoena power to go in and look at anybody's tax return, okay? say the 100,000 was kept by him or any other journalist or commentator. what happens? >> bill, i don't care if he gave every single penny to a good cause like -- >> bill: what happens to nbc? what do they have to do if he kept some of the money. >> then he apparently isn't s. in violation of their standards. but i want to make -- this is important it me. i don't care if he gave 200,000. every penny of it to the american cancer society or some other good cause. that doesn't justify what he did. here is how i operate. all -- i owe -- my first allegiance. let's put it this way. my first allegiance is to the audience. they don't have to agree with me. but they have to understand that i'm always going to give what i -- my honest opinion. again, they don't have to agree with me if it turns out

that i'm taking money, hundreds of thousands of dollars from some organization or some corporation and i'm not disclosing this, they have every right to never trust me again. and that's what msnbc's management doesn't quite understand. while ed schultz may speak favorably of unions because he honestly believes it, you have to disclose these things. you can't simply take money from an organization. >> bill: if there is no consequence why do you have to disclose it? what do you mean no consequence. >> bill: msnbc knows. >> their position is if he gave the money to charity there was no violation. i don't care if he did or not. it's not a good policy. >> bill: no, it's not good. >> every right to know. the audience has every right to know if i'm getting paid by somebody to say good things about them. they have every right to know

that. >> or if there is even a connection. doesn't have to be a direct quid pro quo but 200,000 is a lot of jack and it should have been absolutely upfront about it all right, bernie, thanks very much. we appreciate it we would like to mention the web site news busters first broke the shuttle story. in a moment, senator scott brown running for re-election in massachusetts. saint patrick's day that you will want to see? right back with it. susie's lemonade... the movie. or... we make it pink ! with these 4g lte tablets, you can do business at lightning-fast spes. we'll take all the strawberries, dave. you got it, kid. we have a winner. we're definitely gonna need another one. small sinesses that want to grow use 4g lte technology from verizon. i wonder how she does it. that's why she's the boss. because the small business with the best tecology rules. contact the verizon center for customers with disabilities at 1-800-974-6006.
