. >> hi, i'm laura ingram, in tonight for bill o'reilly. thanks for joining us. >> you have 80% of the american people who support a balanced approach. 80% of the american people support an approach that includes revenues and includes is cuts. so the notion that somehow the american people aren't sold is not the problem. the problem is members of congress are dug in idealogically into various positions because they boxed themselves in with previous statements. >> here is the problem with that. a brand new rasmussen poll shows that only 34% of voters think a tax hike should be part of the solution. 55% say, washington, should not raise taxes. but president obama has the audacity to say it is republicans that are out of touch. >> my hope is that they are listening not just to lobbyists or special interests here in washington but also listening to the american people. it turns out poll, after poll, many done by your organizations show that it is not just democrats who think we need to take a balanced approach, it is republicans as well. >> one

laura ingram, mmm, is right. the idea that this killer represents mainstream sentiment in the christian community is ridiculous. that being said, people drawing the connection between a philosophical underpinning of his madness to a christian crusader mentality are not doing it to get at you. the connection stems mostly from two things: the shooter's 1,500-page, crucifix drenched call to reclaim western christian come from the infidels, and two, the shooters's knights templar 2083 power point paying tribute to charles the emperor to vlad the impaler. now, obviously i would have more sympathy for the... [laughter] obviously i would have more sympathy for the fox rapid response team's nuanced concerns if their plea to distinguish violence proclaim in the name of a religion from the practitioners and tenets of said religion were applied to, uh, let's say more than just one lidge -- religion. bill o'reilly is very clear as to why this norway killer is christian. >> breivik is not a christian. that's impossible. no on

bachmann possibly a two thousand and twelve presidential candidate challenging that idea of the laura ingram radio show saying these efforts give new meaning to the term any state. bachmann was upset the i.r.s. to classify breast pump as deductible medical care purchased as she claimed the government was using the tax code as social engineering and part of a nanny state mentality while that may be her opinion it's also attacking the spouse of a candidate or fellow politician she can't say through any of her husband is out of bounds but she's free to attack michelle obama any time she feels like it campaign presidency doesn't matter she's fair game so for being a blatant hypocrite we're giving our friday tool time award to michele bachmann and i have a feeling she's going to win a few more before the two thousand and twelve presidential race is over. all right it's friday happy friday and joining me for happy hour is archy producer jenny churchill and alex bites well he's a reporter and blogger for think progress got oregon and a progress report thanks guys for being here it's happy friday la

over the republican party and that's well true but at the same time he you know he pointed out on laura ingram show. you know crashing the economy is trying to stop government during clinton seemed to in your some benefit the republicans i mean they they tried this with carter in seventy nine we actually you fault it on one hundred twenty million dollars for the bonds in one hundred seventy nine one day to fall and it kicked up our interest rates by half a point for nearly half a decade i mean. are they you've been inside these meetings you've been you've you've you've been behind the curtain are these guys is this just all kabuki theater or are they seriously thinking about that they can bring down the american economy and somehow politically benefit from our. it's all theater until the very end at the very end somebody will come up with a. bin or will present a wouldn't call this as the group's own since sliced bread and then we'll see if he has two hundred eighteen votes for and that's the way it works nothing matters until the very very well are all going on this little well he nine he don

other than those so but it's fair to say that people like people together said it's likely or when laura ingram said it's likely that this was al qaeda and remember they claimed responsibility. it was a group through they claim responsibility. and they quickly everything that but i'm talking about on friday you also said that ninety five percent of the people killed by terrorists are killed by muslim terrorists. but to prove your point i actually looked out upon which you that really known conservative website and we could previous shows if you look at the terrorist attacks for the past three years well over ninety percent were conducted by islamists and more than ninety percent of the people killed were killed by muslim terrorists yeah absolutely stand by that who are the victims the victims are overwhelmingly most of which is the sad part so the united states should be out war and be most concerned about muslim extremism and fight to protect muslims and well that's that. good question i'm not sure i would say that our job as americans is to go ahead and protect every muslim in the world that'

the interview with laura ingram for the o'reilly factor speaker boehner whose gop allies favor a short-termach sought to have calm. >> you expect it by wednesday? >> i believe so. we don't know. i think these conversations have gone on. president doesn't want to do anything. >> is that a game of chicken that willented badly for the american public. >> it is only friday. >> gang of six. group of democratic and republican senators has been trying to fashion a compromise plan. mike crapo of iowa chastised president obama that they had tax hike. but senator conrad of north dakota said history will treat obama well. >> perhaps they are. but it would be unfortunate if we missed the opportunity for what the president has tried to do . history will treat him very well on this question of trying to get a comprehensive bargain in the range of four trillion dollars. because that's what is necessary to stabilize the debt and bring it down. we are not expecting an announcement tonight. but expect a boiler plate announcement that is signed by the four congressional leaders. interesting that boehner after

also ahead, laura ingram and diane sawyer on the state of the union. we hope you stay tuned for those reports. >> in a weekend review from the segment tonight, go right to ms. laura in washington this evening for her thoughts on the casey anthony acquittal and president obama continuing his quest for higher taxes on wealthy americans. do casey anthony first, laura, go. >> i'm one of the people who didn't see dee vow devour everf the case. i did dip in at the closing arguments. if you were a defense attorney like i was and you watched the closing arguments and that is all you pretty much sunk your teeth into i think you had to go away thinking that the jury was not going convict her. i know that -- the burden of proof is not on defense to prove how the victim was killed. the burden of proof is on the prosecution and with a jury of your peers they have to unanimously agree that beyond a reasonable doubt you committed this crime and it was not done. i mean it just from what i saw, bill, i thought there was enough wiggle room there that, you know, regardles

he was one of the many conservatives, ann coulter, laura ingram, lots of people who we introduced toe american public back in the '90s on "politically correct." we needed foils for me, and, i guess, they are getting the last laugh since they are actually controlling america now. but yes, grover certainly has not changed. i think he came up with this pledge in high school and has not changed. no matter what happens in the world, we cannot raise taxes, and, of course, getting people to sign a pledge so american, because it's part of that same intellectual sinkhole where we get three strikes you're out, and zero tolerance, things where people do not have to think. that's what americans, especially our leaders, are always trying to do, get to a place where you don't have to think about something. which is ironic because these are the people who always claim they are belovers of the constitution and the founding fathers. this is very much against what the founding fathers would have wanted. they'd want you to elect someone who is smart and honest to make decisions because they're running

. >> speaker boehner told laura ingram during a taping of the o'reilly.like two people so far apart in core issues. but boehner claims to have struck a deal for tax corrode reforms that would raise 800 billion in revenue. today he was cast as a captive of the ring wing . >> i feel sorry for john boehner. i think he is a captive of the conference. there are newer tea party people. i feel sorry for our country. frankly neal. people send us to washington to try to figure out problems, i am one who believes in the sensible singer. >> lawmakers are looking to wednesday as a real do or die debate. we have heard a lot in the process. wednesday we are told would be the last day that observe all of the necessary parlimentary procedure to stage a vote. >> they will be working fast and furious . updates on capitol hill. appreciate it. >> that fight on capitol hill turned personal and public. it is between tea party allen web and democrat debby shultz. >> the gentleman from florida who represents. so how about this weekend we learn some new tricks of the trade... the

also ahead, laura ingram and diane sawyer on the state of the union.e hope you stay tuned for those reports. >> so, ah, your seat good? got the mirrors all adjusted? you can see everything ok? just stay off th freeways, all right? i don't want you going out on those yet. and leave your phone in your purse, i don't want you texting. >> daddy... ok! ok, here you go. >> thanks dad. >> and call me--but not while u're driving. we knew this day was coming. that's why we bought a subaru. you know that comes with a private island. really? no. it comes with a hat. you see, airline credit cards promise flights for 25,00miles, but... [ man ] there's never any seats for ,000 miles. frustrating, isn't it? but that won't happen with the capital one venture card. you can book any airline anytime. hey, i just said that. after all, isn't traveling hard enough? ow. [ male announcer ] to get the flights you want, sign up for a venture card at capitalone.com. what's in your wallet? uh, it's okay. i've played a pilot before. took some crazy risks as a kid. but i was still

he acknowledged that he used that word when he was talking to laura ingram yesterday. he also said, i didn't put my neck on the line and go toe to toe with obama to not have an army behind me. this is about rallying the troops right now. that 217 he needs to get to in the house today is something that will not make or break the leadership of speaker boehner but will go a long way to cementing his position of leadership with republicans in the house. >> all right. by the way, david wu, is he going to be voting? >> i don't know. is he -- he was con front by a "washington times" reporter yesterday. he said he would be resigning to help his family. that was his priority. unfortunately the priority seemed to be staying around for that debt ceiling vote. at this point it looks like he will be voting. it remains to be seen whether or not he'll be staying in congress for some time. >> this whole august 2nd deadline, the place we got that from was treasury secretary tim geithner back before the debt ceiling was reached. on may 16th he said i could probably move things around un

i'm laura ingram in for bill o'reilly. the spin shortstops right here. we are always looking out for captioned by closed captioning services, inc. >>> and this is a fox news alert. we are waiting a house vote on speaker john boehner's bill to forestall the looming deficit crisis. just a few hours ago the speaker postponed the vote and throughout the day he polled several republican congressmen off the house floor and into his ceremonial office to wrangle their votes. eric cantor's office says there will be a vote tonight but there is no indication when the house will resume. once voting starts the bill will need 216 votes to pass the house. after that it will head directly to the u.s. senate where majority leader harry reid is vowing to defeat it. joining me with their take are south carolina congressman tim scott who decided to vote against the bill and texas congressman michael burgess a member of the tea party caucus. guys, welcome to the program. >> thanks very much. >> congressman burgess, from what i understood you were kind of vascillating today?

he did the conservative radio show the laura ingram show this morning and he's talking about how someault without a plan is a horrible thing. >> well, first, they want more. and my goodness, i want more, too. secondly, a lot of them believe that that if we get past august the 2 sxnd we have enough chaos we can force the senate and the white house to accept a balanced budget amendment. i'm not sure that that -- i don't think that strategy works because i think the closer we get to august the 2nd frankly the less leverage we have vis-a-vis our colleagues in the senate and the white house. >> if democrats came here with a specific promise and they were then told -- some of these guys were pressuring the house guys before they even had their vote on their plan, you have to compromise. they're keeping their promises. what's wrong with that? >> no. this is startling. on a couple of different fronts. i assure you the american people didn't vote for these guys to come to washington and take our economy over the edge. what's really startling about that is you have the speaker, the speaker of t

laura ingram is a conservative talk show host and fox news contributor.her latest book is called "of thee i zing." nice to see you. this seems like the case of the debt ceiling the case of the immovable object and unstoppable force. when it comes to taxes, this issue of revenues, is there any way this deal gets done without the republicans compromising somewhat on taxes. >> i certainly hope not because the one thing we do know, matt, and look at the whole landscape, if the republicans hadn't taken the house of representatives last november, we wouldn't even be having a discussion on any spending cuts. the democrats would have already voted to increase the debt ceiling. spending cuts would not be part of the equation. the only reason we're talking about shrinking the size of government, beyond all of these other details, is because the republicans are listening to the people out there in this country and you're angry. these people are angry. >> president obama talked about shared sacrifice. where is the shared sacrifice going to come from on the republican
