and bill tucker from "lou dobbs tonight." no more bills. we'll all get confused. i want to start at the top here. the average salary for ceos from the 20 bailed out banks, 436 times the typical american worker last year. the institute for policy studies looked at ceos from 20 banks who received the most federal aid and found they received 37% more than their counterparts. stock options could cause compensation to soar even more in 2009. bill tucker, fair or unfair? >> that's totally unfair. the industry that needed the biggest bailouts, they got the bailouts, performed the worst, got the best pay and will recover the fastest. i don't even see where there's equity in that. >> i don't see how anything has changed. it says nothing has changed. these are the 20 biggest bailed out banks. ceos paid on average $13.8 million. >> this is symptomatic to a lot of public policy. public outrage, comes and goes, there's a little hand waving. some reform. we move on. the economist in me really feels, we live in the world of the economy, capitalism. so you have to reward that ini

thanks very much, bill tucker. a lot of reporting there. >> on this note, let's start with this controversy, keith, of what do you make of this discussion? >> it's another embarrassment for acorn. the only reason they're on the radar screen is because they became well known -- most people never heard of acorn two years ago. they became well known because they were helping get out the vote efforts for the obama campaign. it's an embarrassment for acorn. i don't know if it will go beyond that i would be interested if that is true what the spokesman said that the conservative filmmaker went around to three or four offices and were thrown out and found one office where they were given silly advice. it sounds like entrapment. let's go to various offices before we can entrap someone. >> it's not journalism until they report all that happened. it's propaganda. if you're a reporter doing this, you would report, yes, we went to the four offices and one said, you know, fell for -- took the bait. if you don't report that and

lou. >> thank you very much, bill tucker. >>> joining me republican strategist, cnn contributor ed rollinspresident of christy strategies, former assistant to george w. bush, ron christy. and robert zimmerman. glad to have you here. let's start with the pledge. talk about looking for trouble, isn't that just looking for trouble? >> the not just looking for trouble. you have to wonder what in the world do these people have to do with the time on their hands. and when we have enough wedges in our country without trying to create a new one. >> you use the expression, this is just another effort -- whatever the intentions whether they be from the heart or whatever? why? >> you got me. i agree with robert. i think there's so many issues around the country right now, if children want to say the pledge of allegiance, let them say it. to suggest they have tour mirandized before they go in the classroom, it's absurd. >> far too absurd. let's move on to serious topics. >>> let's talk about jimmy carter. this man has decided if you criticize a black president policies, his public policies, then you a

bill tucker reports. >> reporter: e-verify is now the rule of the land. for contracts lasting longer than 120 days must use the federally run program to verify whether the employees are legally able to work in the united states. >> once federal contractors sign up and they see how simple it is and how easy it is to use and quick it is to use, they'll learn what 148,000 other employees already know. the system does work. >> reporter: the u.s. chamber of commerce is the program's staunchest foe and wants the program stopped arguing that e-verify harms business, the government and public interest. it's a claim that supporters of the program strongly contest. >> there's really no harm to a business that could be caused by using e-verify unless their spi entire workforce is illegal and they'll lose it. >> reporter: one of the parties to the suit with the chamber explains. >> what we would like to see is a system that goes toward a biometric dive identifier so be we impose it, we need to make sure we have the best system in place. >> reporter: currently 97% of

bill tucker has our report. >> reporter: for the second time in as many days, a video has been posted on the internet of a.c.o.r.n. employees appearing to give illegal tax advice to a prostitute who's looking to establish a brothel using underaged prostitutes from el salvad salvador. this is at the washington office of a.c.o.r.n. it was announced that the employees in the video had been fired. quote, we have fired them and are initialling an internal review of practices reminding all staff of their obligations to uphold the highest legal and ethical standards. on thursday, a similar scenario was shown in a video shot in the baltimore office of a.c.o.r.n. >> your business is a performing arrestist. which you are, so you are not lying, we'll play on words. but you're a performing artist, okay? so stop saying prostitution. >> reporter: the two employees in that video were described as part-time by the head of the a.c.o.r.n. office in baltimore. they no longer work for a.c.o.r.n. >> the two employees that were filmed in the video were immediately dismissed because they did not follow the

bill tucker has our report. >> reporter: a.c.o.r.n. links with dozens of affiliated organizations across the united states, sharing office space, staff, and goals. last year, workers for the organization were investigated for alleged involvement in voter legislation fraud. the national policy center said it has other concerns. >> a.c.o.r.n. is under investigation in a number of states for allegations of voter registration fraud, but i think there's an even deeper scandal when it comes to their finances. >> reporter: earlier this month, the finance board said seven candidates might be in violation of the laws because they're not playing full value. that works out of the same building of a.c.o.r.n. the board says its concern is data and field services might be offering discounts to counsel members for services to dodge limits. this man paid $110,000 for campaign services, including $5,000 for a list of voters. other campaigns complained that was too little. deblauzio is a supporter of a.c.o.r.n., and in 2008, he and thirty-two other coun

tucker carlson. i should say that he was asked that question by david gregory. >> on the one hand, what are you going to say if you are billlinton? are you going to disavow something your wife said? greta: it is the same. >> here is what bothers me about it, and bill clinton has been working on being more reasonable and less partisan than when he was president, but this is an opportunity to delegitimize this. if you criticize obama, you are not a racist or a conspiracists. -- a conspiracist. greta: this is different than accusing someone of murder. one is way off of the charts. >> i certainly remember when the former president was accused of murder. i watched people say that. i thought it was crackpot then, and i think it was a crackpot now, and people have been saying things like that about president bush. avastin and of people disagree with any president are ordinary people -- a vast amount of people who disagree with any president are ordinary people. by the way, i think the former president is giving the right wing, whatever that is, way too much credit. i think is well known that conservatism has been not well coordin

bill bennett has written what many historians of the united states say is the greatest comprehensive american narrative in our country's history that has ever been written. and if you happened to see tucker carlson is a show and the last week or so -- if you did not see it, you ought to check out his web archives. because it is a very important statement. we think, when we talk to kids, "what is this about american history that is a concern?" they tell us, over and over, boring, boring. why do i have to study american history? we think that one of the reasons is foreign textbooks. so we believe we have the antidote to it. we have collected a panel of educators to develop a companion curriculum for bill's wonderful books. online, digital. we will show you about a little bit. but it has been received nationally beyond our wildest dreams. it is phenomenal. we think it is a revolution in the way that american history will be taught, and we like to say that the revolution has started. the colored states on this map that you see indicate that since the fall of 2008, states where our materials are being used in the classroom today. if you happen to -- i think that is worthy of applause, myself.

tucker of delaware, mark pryor of arkansas, evan bayh of indiana. the list goes on and on. those are democrats that could go either way. billpublican side, olympia snowe. a moderate name. why does she hold the key in what could be a deal maker? >> she is a well-known moderate republican that had been doing business with the democrats. she is one of the so-called gang of six working to find middle ground. the argument is you let the private sector and private insurance companies try to figure out ways to contain costs and make insurance more accessible, and then you said benchmarks. if they are achieved, and good. if not, if there is not more accessibility, that would trigger the beginnings of a government-run health insurance program. it is not what president obama wanted to have been. it is not what democrat on the far left one dead, but it might be what they have to go with just to get the rest of the health insurance programs performed as they have been talking about. bill: thank you. juliet: voters are angry, still split on what is needed. you will hear from the democrat who says that the president does not need another
