to ben stein, charles payne, dagen mcdowell along with steffen fitch and charlie gasperino, charles payne, what do you make of it? >> it's outrageous, and no one speaks about the outrageous aspect, the big communal pot of money and the people who take the most out are those who put hardly anything in there, or nothing in there. and i don't understand the notion ever being fair. and the lion's share, whether it's some dependency program or the police departments, always in your neighborhood. the fire department's always in your neighborhood. and youth services is always in your neighborhood. you're taking all the resources out of the pot and putting nothing this and yet, every day the president is browbeating those who put everything in the pot, i don't get it. >> neil: you're not a fan. dagen? >> we should point out that people do pay payroll taxes update. >> neil: absolutely. >> taxes and other-- >> join the club to everybody. to charles' point it becomes problematic when you have one out of five americans receiving some form of federal assistance and then half of americans are paying no

charles payne, what do you make of that. yeah, i think the-- you know, listen, this goes to a lot of things, and you think the most important part of this is, there's no vetting, this is rammed down our throats and told we were going to like it once we knew what it was about. and as we can see every single time, every other week there's something wrong. some things people probably don't know about. let's say you sell a house you're going to have to pay additional tax, 3.8% medicare, medicare tax associated with selling your house, on unearned income. >> and that's exactly. >> capital gains and dividend. >> medicare tax, and anybody making $250,000, adjusted from 1 1/2% and also, hospitals, i love this one, hospitals that spend more per elderly patients are going to get penalizing, no rationing. >> and you're looking at this and realizing people granted wavers and opt out for various reasons, maybe to address the issues they find onerous, if so many can get out, what does that tell you? >> what i'm looking at is, congress and

hello, everyone, i'm charles payne in for neil cavuto. president obama making a couple of workplace visits at unionized plants and yesterday at boeing in washington, and someone here saying, he's playing favorites and all workers may end up paying the price. to ben stein, dagen mcdowell, adam lashinsky and charlie gasperino, it was nice, but a hundred job and odd place to take a victory lap. a hundred jobs. >> at the same time you have a caterpillar adding 1400 jobs in a right to work state like georgia, possibly nonunion jobs and we'll have to wait and see about that, but many people, many democrats will tell you that the only kind of good job is a union job. and certainly, the democrats in an election year need to cash and the clout of unions, need more union jobs in the private sector in this country in order to fund those campaigns. now and years to come. >> yeah, ben, the president wants to be a cheerleader for jobs, that's great, but only union shops. what's wrong with other american workers? >> well, the thing is, union jobs are jo

ap charles payne, dagen mcdowell, adam lashinsky, and gary. >> he wouldn't have admitted that beforehe mid term election, right? at least he's honest now, but it's sick, it's crazy. neil, think about this and you create temporary jobs and long-term white elephants because now you have to maintain all of this stuff that you build and the bottom line is, you know, it's in an age where we know we have to tighten the belts and the deficits and the debt is out of this world and it's nuts. but this is a washington d.c. problem and not just a harry reid, democratic thing. everyone in washington-- >> fair and balanced, dagen. >> because it's blueberry, or my personal favorite, swine and animal manure management. that it's right and the left. >> neil: and this morning about your personal favorite, dagen. >> because i've lived down wind from a hog farm before so that's my personal favorite, but again, it's the issue is, and you hear this, and there are republicans and democrats who are not in favor of earmarks. >> not enough. >> but, it's the lack of transparency, and i tell you, i've said it

and the recent workplace visits, charles payne is seeing a trend here. charles you call it a worrisome trend, union shots. >>guest: congratulations to any american that has a job but how about congratulating those in the right-to-work states? >>neil: south carolina and boeing. >>guest: south carolina, and texas, and how about separating americans. we see it along economic lines and race lines and it does not matter. we know the president's pushing unions and sicking the nlrb in a few states. >>neil: why go out of your way to say unionizing ... if president bush said the nonunionized shop, it seemed to be an add on we didn't need. >>guest: it is a complete tremendous add on we do not need and it backfires but it dovetails into the notion of end sourcing. that is scaring me. what we are talking about is punishing some of the most successful multinational corporations in our company, the world is on fire, has done well. we talk about western europe but we did not talk about brazil, china, or africa. that is where the corporations are making so much money and

the charles payne that is fox news. mr. payne is the latest victim of fox dilemma.t must assert that the economy is not getting better even though that it is, and telling its audience that poor people have it great in america. here is mr. payne who attempted to jump that snake river canyon of chasms and just didn't make it. >> people aren't dieing in america. in fact, the very poor sufficient from gout. in the 20s and 30s that was the rich man's disease. >> they were rich. 90 years ago they didn't know they had what is called the rich man's disease. do you know what we also used to say, smoking was good for your throat and segregation was legal. and poor people is prone to poor diet that cause goat. >>> whalecharlie white the idea of people who shouldn't be voting have evidence that support their game. a court in indiana has convicted a man on six felonies. he faces 3 to 18 years in jail. he lived in one place and voted in another and the man was indiana secretary of state charlie white. but the winner, john fleming from the fourth district of louisiana, no, serious

. >> monica: joining me with rea action, charles payne and co-host of the five, andrea tantaros. great to see you guys. >> we got nancy pelosi unemployment creates jobs. then we've got valerie jarret that is running the white house and the country. basically saying unemployment checks stimulate the economy. this is classic leftist thinking. they actually believe that does it? >> this is the neo keynesian. they believe if you give money to a defense contractor or sit on a guy sitting on the couch. that is sometime lieu active. we know that looking at history clearly pelosi didn't study history, obama didn't study history. if you look back what got us out of the great depression was not the new deal. it was world war ii. >> monica: here is where i disagree with. they actually governor this way. expanding dependency. >> to your point there has been a might have campaign from day one to make feel people not feel ashamed about this. it's no fault of your own, it's no fault of your own. if i got a business of 20 people and i have to lay off two, it will be something of their own fault

martha: has his own charles payne kind of charm. folks in california are hit the hardest in all this. state average is $4.20. charles will be all over in may but they have already have that in california. drivers in los angeles have no choice but to fill up. they have to drive all over the place to get there. that is true for folks living in very remote areas. prices look to be heading towards $5 a gallon. bill: the way charles describes this might be cheap based on what we're headed for. back in 2008, we reached record high prices in july. $4.11. so far this year gas prices through the month of february own average, on average, $3.51. during the same time period in 2008, prices reached only $3.02 a gallon. we're well ahead of the record pace of 2008. remember what a story it was then 3 1/2 years ago. we're ahead of that by 13 1/2%. martha: soaring gas prices are quickly becoming a hot potato in this presidential election. president obama slamming republicans for making it a political issue. he says there are simply no quick fixes th

>>neil: what happens, now, we are going do get in this later with my buddy charles payne about the comments romney made about the poor, he doesn't worry about them and he worried about the middle class and supporters say he didn't present the argument that, clearly, that he looks like an elite it snob. what do you thick 1/2? >>guest: it was unfair reporting because if you let the sentence goes on for three seconds it explained perfectly so i think the reporting was really urge fair that and the fire word where he wanted to fire insurance companies but they cut it off before he gets to the word "insurance companies," that was very, very unfair reporting and i am surprised that you would even say it but, if you listen to his statement, he also said, and he is going to protect temperature, and they don't let the sentence go on, they just take the first part of the sentence, so, i think that it is very, very unfair reporting. >>neil: maybe so but i am not the only one reporting, and charles krauthammer and other, conservative and others have said that he just has trouble connecting on this issu

not to charles payne who is looking beyond the numbers. >> you don't believe the numbers? >> absolutely not. there's not a single person watching this show right now that believes this. half he people are laughing and the other half are insulting by the fact the government keeps puts this stuff out. >> gas up 9%. food up 4%. clothing up 4%. the government says inflation is less than 3%. why don't you believe it? >> the cpi report used to merge a basket of goods from one period to another. it's changed to a cost of living index. and i think it was done on purpose. let me explain to the audience how this works. let's say we leak to have a steak. you probably go across the street where it's $50 for a nice porter house. i have to go down the street for a nice juicy t-bone at seven dollars. we both got a steak. so the cost of living for them, between $7 and $50 steak. but the cost of living for me, my standard of living, didn't change so there's no inflation. i was able to find a subconstitute for the more expensive item. so that's how the figures are to manipulated. >> to larg

charles payne, you say it's time to start worrying about unemployment. >> absolutely. i think lot of people started worrying when the numbers came out. i i found it interesting that friday when the numbers were released, the white house was subdued. they took a victory lap but -- the 8.3 number didn't have the pizazz, and here is the thing. the asterisk, 1.2 million people leaving the job market. when you think about our country, when that people in a month say, i give up, i give up on the american dream, i give up on the notion of having a job, i throw it all in. i throw in the towel. the regular media, but we knew better. >> do you trust the gallup number which says it's 9% now, or do you trust the government number which says it's 8.3%. which is closer to the truth. >> i think the gallup number is closer to the truth without a doubt. >> they're also saying that underemployment goes up to 19%. >> right. >> that's a picture of misery. that's misery on the ground. >> 9% unemployment and then 10% of people who are working like partike jobs but want so desperately to hav

is this true, charles payne? you're on the fox business network.ave great suits. >> thank you very much. you know, i get -- this is nancy pelosi is so myopic when it comes to this. here's a good chance for her to say the economy is getting better so oil prices are going up. she couldn't resist blaming wall street. listen, there's a whole lot of factors go into gasoline. guess what? we're not the only country in the world that uses crude oil and gasoline. it might be a news flash to nancy pelosi. china put an extra 20 million cars on the road. india. the bottom line is you have global demand around the world. here in this country, we haven't built a new refinery in three or four decades. we have tons of taxes. oil, gasoline is the new sin tax, the way you tax alcohol and cigarettes. so we have that, but also, i think one of the biggest factors is the fact that it's been deliberately pumped up. when the federal reserve pumps out all this money, it debases the dollar. printing money every day at the federal reserve makes the dollar weaker. the dollar

megyn: joining us now, charles payne with the fox business network. this guy had piece of bad news after piece of bad news as he testified before congress. economic growth is only going to be 2% this year and an anemia 1.1% next year. that's what he's saying. he says that the cbo estimates unemployment will not get above 8% in 2012 or 2013, and he says in 2012 they believe it's folk to be at 9.2% the whole year. i mean, you tell us, how pad is this? >> it's really bad. this takes us back to the summer of last year. you remember when everyone was talking about, megyn, about a double-dip recession. when you start talking 1%gdp, will be, we just had a number for december that came in below estimates, and everyone said that was a great period, everyone was shopping, the country was back. when we start getting to these levels, it's extraordinarily dangerous, and some of the contributing factors i worry about, you know, more taxes on investment, more taxes on people out there. 30 million americans going to get hit with that, some people that make as little

charles payne has the pain null truth on the fox business network. how are you doing my friend?y. bill: where is it going. >> reporter: a lot of it is going to entitlements, social security benefits, medicaid, medicare. defense spending a lot of it is unaccountable. some of it goes into pet projects, what you might call pork, alternative energy. our government spends, spends, spends. bill: and keeps on going. let me give our viewers a sense, put this on the screen. this is some of the annual spending you'll get every year. this is 770 billion on social security. medicare is 560 billion. medicaid $262 billion, and then you've got other manned stor manned story spendinmandatory spending. defense spending $680 billion. that cannot be sustained. >> reporter: we are spending a trillion dollars a year to service what we owe, not to bring it down. bill: absolutely. that last figure could go to a trillion. >> reporter: it absolutely could. listen, our economy is slow, cbo comes out today and says it's probably going to get slower next year. that's less revenue for the government. the re

charles payne is ceo of wall street strategies, a fox news contributor. better trend? trend, yeah. 358,000. it's amazing, jenna, that we're actually cheering the fact that 358,000 americans filing for the first time than unemployment benefits -- jenna: what would be normal, a normal number during a normal time? >> i think that network should be under 300,000. jenna: after weeks and maybe even months of announcing they're close to a deal, the government has a deal in place with states when it comes to these foreclosure settlements. $25 billion. what changes with that settlement. >> there's some fundamental changes that they'll make, and if you're dealing with a bank, you'll have one representative, and there's some things they've done that they can't do, but five banks -- people should know that. if you have a mortgage with these banks or you had a mortgage with bank of america, wells fargo, citi or ally, you might be eligible for a principal reduction, and this is where you're going to -- jenna: is it anybody that's eligible for that principal reduction? if you have a

charles payne is ceo of wall street strategies and a fox news contributor, and we keep on hearing thatoverying u but -- recovering, but then you hear about more foreclosures. >> yeah, every time you hear that, it always has an asterisk next to it. 8.3% unemployment, guess what? in two months we'll have 0% unemployment. same thing with this. the controversy started last year, and a lot of banks just put the foreclosures on pause. jenna: they just called a timeout. >> listen, we've got to address the situation which is why, by the way, they believe they entered into this deal. believe me, i'm not here to defend banks, but the overwhelming majority of the people who were in the process were going to lose their home. they stopped paying their mortgages. the fact that someone maybe rubber stamped it, not a good policy, but it doesn't change the fact that these were all going to end up being foreclosed. jenna: some say that delayed the market from purging all the bad deals out of the market and almost starting over, at least hitting a bottom. that's what some suggest. but if that's the case,

charles payne a fox news business anchor and a regular on varney & company.ng. >> i'm doing great. bill: what does he want to do. >> even 10% we talk about everything being quote unquote fair and even. an even 10% cut across the board on income. which is a little different than his payroll we got from the federal government. i think it is a brilliant idea. the notion that we can keep more of the money we earn and put it back into the economy the way we want to put it back into the economy to me that is the kind of stimulus we need. bill: you think that is a big stimulus for the economy, whoever you are. >> absolutely. if you listen to the narrative, particularly out of washington, it's been that somehow food stamps and welfare have a positive multiplier, that somehow an extra 20 bucks a week into a household via the payroll tax cuts ace good thin. but what about thousands of dollars coming back into people's pockets? by the way this is money they've earned. this is the operative word here, this is money that you have gone out for and worked hard for and sweat

let's bring in fox business network's charles payne with the latest on this. charles, in the beginning felt like this issue was not going to be on the front burner but what everybody is talking about and it is such an immediate pinch in your wallet. >> you're 1,000% right. this is something that hits americans in their face. you can not avoid. people were complaining about gigantic increases in food prices going to the super market. couple these two things, going to the supermarket and filling up your gas, two things you can not avoid. simply that easy, you can't avoid it. up 20 days in a row to your point probably on at least four, some people saying $5 not out of the realm of possibility. martha: clearly this cuts into people's discretionary spending. you will make choices on the fact that food prices have been rising the past year and gas prices cutting in. what does this feel about the recovery we're starting to see? >> we're starting to see it but it is very tepid. there is no other way to describe it this would be devastating in my mind if it goes on real

charles payne, thanks. >>> unleashing the power of spider webs.tle wonders of nature. yeah, they cause a mess if you get in your hair, but they are potentially the key to an engineering future. some scientists at mit are trying to unlock it. amazing stuff, coming up. jon there's new information from the science world that could one day have a big impact on oury lives, engineers are working on ways to create stronger materials using spider web technology. let's talk about it with marcus buehler, an associate professor of civil engineering at massachusetts institute of technology, the humble spider web is a pretty amazing feat of engineering, huh? >> yeah, it is. hi jon, thank you. well, it's quite amazing what spiders do with the simple protein building blocks that they have in the bodies, and they actually make on the fly a cable or thread that's the kind of spiders like you see if you look at a web that's stronger than steel, and they make this without any plan or processing. it's on the fly. and actually, even more exciting things about the web,
