on this day in the year 1946, a former british prime minister named winston churchill ratcheted up the cold war when he he coined the phrase iron curtain in an address to the united states. churchill condemned the soviet union's expanding control over eastern europe. an iron curtain has descended amongst the continent. had been pal with brit britain and the u.s. world war ii. soon after the war's end churchill warned that nation was taking advantage of the power vacuum after the fall of adolf hitler. his met for reason natalled with officials around the grown. for his part joseph stalin denounced the speech as war mongering, but churchill sounded the alarm. 67 years ago today. and now you know the news for this tuesday, march the 5th, 2013. i'm shepard smith. we're back tomorrow for "studio b." noon pacific time, 3:00 eastern time. and at the fox report tomorrow right before o'reilly time. >> bill: the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> it's happening because a choice that republicans in congress have made. they have decided to protect tax breaks for the well-off and the well-connected. >> what is the real story behind president obama's failure to compromise on the fiscal mess? the "the washington post" not a conservative bassian says it's all about nancy pelosi. krauthammer, crowley and colmes will analyze. >> these were smears during my election process. >> bill: involved in the senator menendez prostitution situation. we will have the latest. ♪ ♪ >> why are americans turning away from worshiping in public? we'll have some answers. caution. you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the real reason president obama is not trying to solve the fiscal chaos. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. as you may have noticed i'm getting very frustrated with president obama. it has nothing to do with ideology. it has to do with performance. it's obvious to anyone who pays attention that mr. obama is is not trying to solve the fiscal mess. he does not want to cut spending and will not put forth any specific plans to do so. he will also not give his vision on entitlement reform, things like social security and medicare which are draining the treasury. i mean, the president is the leader of the country, it's his job to get the debate started with concrete proposals. mr. obama simply will not do it to the great detriment of the nation. that's a fact. here is another fact. the press largely letting him get away with it the key question is why. why is mr. obama not trying to solve complex problems? recent article in the "the washington post" provides some insight about the lack of compromise on mr. obama's part. quote: the goal is to flip the republican held house back to the democrat control allowing obama to push forward with the progressive on gun control, immigration during final two years in office according to congressional democrats, strategists and others familiar with obama's thinking, unquote. what we have is a reelected president basically not trying to reach consensus on important issues. rather, he is hoping that the messy stalemate will tee off voters who will then throw out republicans and give him full control in 2014. that's very disturbing. as brit hume said last night on the factor. >> the president seems prepared to let the public suffer almost as much as possible as long as he he can blame somebody else. this is not what we expect of presidents. presidents in the end are supposed to be the people who put on heir big boy pants and are prepared to shoulder responsibility. >> bill: it's all about the progressive theme of greater good. let the folks suffer now so we can save them later by changing america into a far left nation. it's almost like mr. obama is sabotaging the country so he he can reshape it. there comes a point where every nation in history gets what it deserves. rome, japan, germany, russia, all were destroyed by venal leaders exploiting apathetic population. i pray that doesn't happen to us. but we the people need to wise up fast. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight, reaction, with us, our barack and hard place duo monica crowley and alan colmes. do you believe the post article. >> i believe he indeed is trying to flip correct me if i am wrong to make it democratic. no he question about that why would we be surprised that a democrat president wants a democratic congress to work with. >> bill: they expense of the folks. >> i don't believe he is doing it because he doesn't want to help the country or he doesn't think what is best for the country is to work with. they have said they did not want to work with him. they have shown they haven'tment wanted to work with him. >> bill: let's get specific rather than this bs. brit hume not compatible ideology. both make the same point. the president is willing to have americans suffer for the greater good of trying to have nancy pelosi wanting the country toy to suffer. >> what it talks about was he wants to flip congress. >> bill: did you read the post article? >> yes. yes. >> he is making it impossible to reach accord with the republicans. >> it's one thing to say he wants to flip the house. another thing to say he purposely wants the american people to suffer. i don't believe that for a second. >> bill: i don't believe it's possible to get anything done. do you agree with that? >> yes. so you have to go back to who barack obama is. remember four years ago when he was campaigning in 2008, bill, he talked about the fundamental transformation of the nation. we now have over four years of evidence as to exactly what he meant. so what he wants is the last two years of his presidency to look like his first two years, meaning, a wide open political field. >> bill: he didn't do this stuff in the first two years though. >> what are you talking about? he got socialized medicine. he got -- he started ramping up the spending and growing the government. >> bill: here is where you are going wrong. you might disagree with obama care, all right? he he got it done. all right? he got it done. >> how did he get it done because he had massive majorities in congress. which is what he wants for the last two years. >> bill: but here he he hasn't even submitted any proposals don't you see the difference? >> right. bang then he was saying i want social lived medicine or whatever you want to call it now he doesn't do anything. he just says we want to raise taxes. let's raise them again. even though i just got one. >> there is nothing put forth, nothing. >> because he is not a problem-solver, is he a fundamental transformer. >> he has offered i disagree with what he is being said here. $2.50 in tax cuts for every dollar. >> that's not. >> yes, he has. >> cuts in medicare. offered cuts to entitlements. >> bill: that's not specific. he has to say here are the programs that are going to go down. here is how we are going to reform medicare and social security. and the man refuses to do it. >> that's not true. >> bill: yes it is. >> hold it because now i'm getting teed off at you. give me one damn program he said he would cut? one? >> he has cut entitlements. >> not entitlements. one program. >> what do you want to yell for? >> bill: because you are lying. you are lying. >> don't call me a liar. don't you sit there and call me a liar. >> bill: you are lying. >> here is the proof. >> you don't like the president. you don't like what he is doing. don't sit there and call me a liar. >> bill: i am. >> i'm not lying. we can have a disagreement without you calling me a liar. that's not necessary. >> bill: you are lying here. >> we are not lying. >> bill: where is the proof. >> there is a disagreement and. >> bill: give me one program he would cut. >> he would cut medicare and medicaid offered cuts to those programs. >> bill: that's not a specific program. >> those are programs. >> okay. you know when he has said anything about even approaches what he you are saying alan he doesn't mean it? >> i want to stay with colmes. >> all right. >> bill: i don't usually do what i just did to him. i asked him four times, colmes, to give me one specific program out of all the federal budget, $3.2 trillion worth of spending, that obama said he would cut. one. one. >> he hurt himself. >> bill: give him one. >> hurt himself with his base because he has said talked about cuts to medicare. >> bill: 3.2 trillion in spending. right? i asked colmes for one he he can't provide it can you. >> i cannot because he has not. >> bill: both of our people. both of our people, ladies and gentlemen cannot provide one program out of 3.2 trillion in spending that this president said he would cut. and you sit there and you say you are not -- come on. >> you are accusing the president of wanting the people to suffer in this country. that's not true. you disagree with him. >> bill: sitting in an oval office for five years with a 17 trillion-dollar debt, and refusing to say one program that he would cut. you don't think that's putting the burden on the american people. >> what do you call medicare? what do i keep telling you. >> bill: there is jack what you are saying. there is another word for it? >> i disagree. >> bill: it's not about a disagreement. you can't back up -- you can't give me one example of any federal program that he said he would cut. not one. >> what did i just say? >> bill: medicare. you can't say he is going to cut medicare? where is he going to cut it? is he going to take money away from 62-year-olds? 58-year-olds? is he going to take it away from the states? where is he going to get medicare? where? >> less money going to the states. >> bill: how much less. >> less money reimbursed to doctors. >> bill: how much less. >> cutting the reimbursement to doctors and hospitals. >> bill: this is just bull blank. >> cutting reimburse. s to doctors and hospitals. that's what he is has talked about. this is bull blank. >> i answered your question. he talked about cutting reimbursements. >> bill: last word. >> all this president has done the exact opposite. he and reid and pelosi have done unprecedented spending blowout over the last four years. amassed $6 trillion in debit over four years which is a record. >> bill: i'm so angry about it and i apologize to you, colmes. i shouldn't have used the word lie but you did not put forth here anything that he would do. >> cutting reimbursements to hospitals and doctors. >> bill: you don't know how much. to where, to whom, you don't know anything. >> you asked me which programs. >> bill: the reason you don't know it because the guy that you revere refuses to say anything specific about anything. all he wants to do is raise taxes, that's it. that's not how you compromise. that's not how you get anything done. that's not how you bring down the deficit. >> he has hurt himself with this progressive base by saying he wants to cut those payments. >> bill: i don't give a damn about the progressive base. i give a damn about the american people and we are being conned and you are buying the con and put out b.s. >> i disagree we are being conned. >> bill: did i go over board there. >> no i thought it was great. >> bill: monica's book "what the bleep just happened" there it is. >> bill: there you go. now in paper bag. senator menendez situation getting more intense. later, the harvard stupidity newspaper calling me a bad alumnus. wow, talk with the editor moments away.

>> i say the "the washington post" story is ludicrous. the "the washington post" story was an attempt to take down our story but if you read it carefully and trust me, we he did. it doesn't achieve that they hold up an affidavit in their piece as evidence that the woman we interviewed was lying. we're not mentioning the affidavit. it has nothing to with the story we did. in fact, it's not at all clear that the woman he they are talking about is the same woman we interviewed. i read the post piece. i don't see anything. she said she talked about in our interview. i was there for our interview. she didn't say these things. she, for example, told the "the washington post" that she was surreptitiously taped. hidden camera. right into the camera in a video camera in our conversation with her. it was absurd not at all clear what happened. i know the post piece did not prove our piece wrong. >> bill: was this an underaged prostitute you talked with. >> no she identified herself as 24. >> bill: regular prostitute >> bill: how do you know the woman is telling the truth? i want to give all americans the benefit of the doubt and the presumption -- >> -- sure. >> bill: the presumption of innocence. when a journalist parades somebody through, makes a heinous allegation about a public figure. >> right. >> bill: and that person is pretty much protected, they are anonymous. i don't know. it makes me a little queazy, tucker. >> i get it. this is one of the basic can a nun drums of journalism. people come forward and make agencies. can you know the truth of them. >> bill: face on them and they are out there and they are taking the bricks that come with an allegation. i can understand that. but a protected criminal? >> but, bill, i mean, i have been doing this 22 years, not as long as you, you know the truth. which is 90% of our sources have agendas, they are anonymous, they are working for reasons you don't fully understand. >> bill: why do you believe this. >> here is why. because she did -- she and her partner did an oncamera interview with us for quite some time that was quite specific. and by the way it comports with other stories we have done. we environment viewed a prostitute in the united states who said she had contact with senator menendez. this was not out of left field. again, by the way. this is part of a much larger story about the senator's trips down to the dominican republic with the campaign contributor who as you noted in the intro is under fbi investigation. this is not a random one off we did. you would have gathered that from reading the "the washington post" piece. it wasn't. much larger piece about this senator's activities in the dominican republic which we think descreerve scrutiny. many in the press disagree. they batted this down as if it was entirely illegitimate to air the claims of human beings on camera, you know, it's not. that's straightforward, traditional journalism. that's what we did. is it possible though that this story was manufactured by people who don't like menendez and want to get him? you know, you give the woman a grand or two and she comes on and tells you all this stuff when she is protected. you know, i just don't know. >> well, i can tell you, this our source, the person who brought this story to us, i am satisfied entirely received no money from anyone for the story when a post piece came out, the first thing we did was reengineer the story. report it, go back to our sources, check everything we had reported first time to make certain, look, if we are wrong, i have been wrong over the years for sure. i will admit it to not admit it is dishonest. we went and reschekd every fact. did our source take money in the answer is no, he didn't. >> bill: all right. i'm a little queazy with the prostitution angle on this. i think the fbi's investigation of the donor helped menendez has to go forward. that's the bigger, bigger story. and. >> okay. tucker. directly ahead the harvard newspape bad alumnus. could that possibly be true?

[ voice of dennis ] silence. ♪ ask an allstate agent about the safe driving bonus check. are you in good hands? >> bill: personal story segment tonight, as you may know, i have a master's degree from the kennedy school at harvard in public administration. i enjoyed my time in cambridge but the school has changed dramatically. moved even more left than when i was there. on occasion i'm critical of harvard because it's not a fair and balanced campus, by any means. enter the student newspaper the harvard crimson which recently wrote this, quote: in november fox news pundit and harvard kennedy school graduate bill o'reilly referred to harvard professors as pinheaded while implying that the harvard community is morally suspect for its acceptance of harvard college munch, a group of students sharing interest of kinky sex. teachry are apparently attempts to curry favor with our body politic. quote. joining us is bobby sam yells. your brother ben who was on this program when we talked about this munch group. do you remember, did you see the piece by the way with your brother? >> yes. sure, yes. >> bill: do you remember what my objection to that group was? >> um, no. i don't recall. >> bill: you don't recall. so maybe you were wrong in writing that i implied some kind of moral turpitude about this situation. is it possible that you might have been wrong there? >> well, i think instead of taking a step back and looking at the overall staff editorial, it was actually not as much on the munch component of it but on the pinheaded professors comment. >> bill: you wrote that i was implying and something we never do here. i don't imply and can you ask a ask alan colmes. i state. i don't imply anything. but you don't know what my objection to the munch thing was. you just don't know. even though your brother was here and defended the organization. and i will tell you what my objection was. that the harvard student fund would pay for it i couldn't care less whether the munch people go out and do whatever they want to do. but we had a young woman, woman, a young harvard student who said i object to this in your face stuff in public and i don't want my student fees to be paying for it. >> sure. >> bill: that's a reasonable position which i took up. so, you don't know that so that's not good for you. would you concede that's not the best journalism, mr. sam yells? >> well, -- we will get to the other one in a moment. >> i think it's more important to talk about the staff editorial as a whole. >> bill: i'm interested in journalism. this is a journalism thing. i'm a disloyal alumnus because i did this. i didn't really do it. i objected to the student funds. now, you said i called some professors pinheaded which i absolutely did. do you know any professors at harvard who are pinheaded? >> you know, i think, like any. >> bill: bob, do you know any professors at harvard who are pinheaded? >> i wouldn't call them pinheaded. that wouldn't the lingo i would use. >> bill: no professor in your experience in cambridge who was a pinhead? nobody? >> you know, i think it's a pretty talented group of people so i wouldn't necessarily refer to them. >> you are entitled to your opinion. i will give you my class list. i will introduce you to a few of them. pinhead is kind of an almost affectionate term here. we use it all the time describe a variety of people who don't think clearly on any certain day. now, let's get to the larger question of the editorial. am i treacherous for calling a harvard professor a pinhead? am i treacherous and a disloyal alum? >> well, i think an important point to keep in mind about the staff editorial was that there certainly was a tongue in cheek component to it. and so, you know, treacherous was certainly part of that. >> bill: so i'm not really treacherous then? i'm overreacting? >> no. i think, again, it was part of that whole motif. taking a step back, we were commenting while it was tongue in cheek commenting seriously on the sort of hypocrisy embedded in coming to a school utilizing its educational resources and then turning around a few years later and credit sighing the school in a sort of blanket way. >> bill: can i reply for that. >> seemingly for purposes. >> >> bill: i paid my tuition to the kennedy school it. it was quite a lot. i have donated money to the school subsequently. but here is why i'm criticizing the school because it has taken a sharp turn to the left. the deans when i was there my a and alisyn were fair men. the dean of the committed school now is a committed leftist. the shorenstein center, i'm sure you know press public public policy 2 a professors. do you know how many republicans are among those 25 professors? >> how many? >> bill: none. 25 professors, no republicans. do you think that's a good thing for the harvard university? >> well, i mean, certainly it's important to have balance across the university. >> bill: i have given you a fact as a -- as a journalist and editor you like facts because facts are good. 25 professors at the sorentein center, no republicans. i criticized that does that make me disloyal? >> you know, bill, i don't think we are -- you know, criticizing you for that element. >> bill: yeah. >> i think the idea of the staff editorial and sort of what we're thinking in general here are going after those elements of debate that are sort of broad, blanket atax on the the -- attacks on the instiewcialg quality. >> bill: do that. you named me. you named me, you named cruise. >> you referred to the professors in sort of a blanket way as pinheads. >> bill: come on. you did the tongue in cheek thing you know with the freshry deal, the pinhead thing here for years we have been doing that. >> sure. >> bill: not all pinheads. i'm sure all the professors don't know. here is what i want you to do bob, i think you are a good guy. i want you to look at what you wrote and what the facts are, all right? and then maybe you will re-think it and come back and we'll talk about it again but i have got to go tonight. okay? fair enough? plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. john stossel says daryl hannah is crazy that you can't heat your home with alternatives fuels. he will be here. transgendered people. should be interesting, huh?

>> three, three. >> bill: so then a judge, guilfoyle cops in and does what? >> this is what is so interesting. when it's a split decision like that. the person is automatically released. >> bill: it was three to three on the jury. >> on the jury. so this judge, who did the right thing, very brave, sanchez-llorens. i disagree throwing out the jury's verdict: did a good job: vacate it because no reasonable jury could come to that conclusion. keep in mind the six victims that he was caught with, okay, were the ages of 15 to 28. so some were young girls. that's a problem right there. also, three psychologists unanimously testified that, in fact, she was a danger. sexually is a disstick. >> bill: he is not getting out. >> is he going to be treated in a civil context. not going to be in jail anymore. >> treatment. he can eventually get out. this is to protect the society and she did the right thing because this guy reoffends, it's, you know. >> it's renewed every year. look at it every year. >> bill: also in florida, they had a ban on drug testing. >> right. >> bill: it was challenged. the state challenged the ban. because the state of florida wants drug tests before you get welfare. >> sure, makes sense, right? >> but the federal appeals court, right? it was a federal thing. >> yes. >> unanimous. so you can't drug test welfare people? >> right. well, this is a problem. they put like a temporary restraining order on injunction to say that this isn't going to go forward. let the court hear it. the court said three unanimous 3-0. from the state government, there should be a threshold that you have to meet. if this is one of the things, then it should be. >> bill: i have got to go to the abortion doctor. south philadelphia, a doctor who made millions of dollars aborting babies. authorities caught up with him for what? what did they charge him with. >> charged him with 8 counts of murder. actually seven counts of murder. seven children. and then one count of third degree murder of a woman that was actually getting an abortion. the seven counts were for children that were born alive during the abortion. what they alleged, we're alleging in this trial is he took those babies that were born alive and snipped their spines and killed them. >> they were outside of the womb. out of the uterus. they were viable. >> that's infanticide. >> murder. >> charged with killing seven babies. >> one woman who went in for an abortion and died. >> pregnant refugee that was given an overdose of medication. >> looking at federal drug charges as well. a whole panoply of things. >> made millions of dollars doing. this a poor neighborhood. >> yes. >> the woman who died couldn't speak english and he would do anything for millions of dollars. this guy killed the babies. >> very sad. >> bill: commonwealth of pennsylvania you can abort a baby up to 24 weeks. >> 24 weeks. he was doing 8 months of age. >> they birthed them. >> birthed them and then he killed them. >> >> bill: let's road for this guy gets life in prison. >> death penalty case. he may get the death penalty. >> bill: good! i don't believe in the death penalty but symbolically he should. we appreciate it charles krauthammer on whether president obama is deceiving the nation. charles also addressed sandra fluke wanting military to recruit transgendered folks. charles moments away. dad, i'd put that down. ah. 4g, huh?

click today. no mas pantalones! >> bill: back of the book segment tonight, was we put forth in the talking points memo i don't believe president obama is trying to solve the fiscal chaos in this country. the "the washington post" agrees with me the presidential president is making it very difficult to solve issues. get mad at the g.o.p. vote for democrats in 2014, divifing him control of congress. joining us is charles krauthammer. because this is the cause celeb tonight. colmes and i got it. and, again, i was probably too rough on. >> alisyn: alan, but i want to ask you what i asked stossel earlier. do you know of one specific federal program the president has said he would cut or any kind of specific cuts he would do to medicare or social security? just one? >> well, let me just say that from what i hear with your exchange from colmes no one died so that's the good news. specific cuts, no, i think the answer is. no. >> bill: okay. i just want to stop you there. because this is important for the audience to understand why i got so upset. so, the president has been in office for more than four years, all right? he has not offered one spending cut in a budget of 3.2 trillion with a 17 trillion-dollar debt. that's flat out irresponsible. that's not a policy problem. that's a subversion of our financial system. and that's what's really worrying me about this. because, guys like colmes, continue to stick up for mr. obama because of ideological reasons. while he is putting every one of us in danger or am i overstating this, charles? >> no. because you have got the numbers. and the math on your side. the man is not interested in cutting. he hasn't cut. what he has done is he has increased. year by year the spending increases. at the beginning he was able to call it stimulus. the largest spending bill in the history of the universe over $800 billion in one shot. and i don't know what the residue of that is. and then for a couple of years he shied away from the word stimulus. but every time he negotiated he wanted more spending. what did he say in his inaugural address and what did he say in his state of the union address this year he wants to invest. which is the new democratic word for spending. he talked about spending. he didn't talk about cuts. what i meant to say earlier is he will dangle occasionally he will say well in negotiations with the speaker, i offered x, y, and z. this is always in the back room in the whisper. show us on paper. show us in a budget that he hasn't done because he is not interested in cutting. >> bill: so i'm glad. because you follow this probably closer than i follow it. but the overarch of my remarks to alan colmes in the talking points memo and to the american people is that we're not being dealt with honestly here. this is about gamesmanship and trying to manipulate the voter to throw the republicans out so that barack obama can impose a far left vision on this country unincumbered with an opposition. is he willing as brit hume said last night on this broadcast to let people go down the drain financially, if the dollar collapses and that could very well happen, to get this political ideological thing done. and we're not being told the truth by alan colmes, by president obama, or by anyone in the democratic party. >> well, here is the truth of obama's intentions. i wrote this at the beginning of december. it was very clear in negotiations in the fight over the fiscal cliff. that obama no interest in cutting the deficit. has no interest in cutting spending. he simply is not interested in that. he has, to his credit, a vision of america, it's not mine. it's not yours. but he has a vision. he outlined it openly in his state of the union address. of an entitlement state, more along the lines of europe. he thinks it's a more just society. what he has been interested in is this. in order to enact the vision. in order to enact things like obama care, he needs control of the congress. so what is unique about him is normally a second term president is not interested in the polls. not interested in politics. he wants to enact his agenda but obama knows that as long as the republicans control the house, he can't proceed. >> bill: all right. >> he saw that in the first term. >> bill: the welfare of the economy be damned, i'm going to get this ideological jihad done by making the people be angry at the republicans because they can't possibly compromise on this. >> right. that is the strategy. >> bill: all right. >> now, in his defense, he would say, a person of his left liberal social democratic ideology, that in order to achieve a more ideal society, a more just society, you have got to enact all of the stuff he wants to do and still is left undone, control of education nationalizing child care. nationalizing energy. cap and trade, all of that. you have got to do all of that. green energy, you have to impose it and in order to achieve that, which he thinks is the higher achievement, he has to crush the republicans and then he will have in the last two years the opportunity but always remaking america, always. >> bill: keep in your mind, charles, that he is willing to put the entire country in jeopardy, economic jeopardy to realize this vision. is he gambling with our lives here. and that's why i got so angry. and i am angry and i'm going to continue to be. next week we will do the sandra fluke thing which pales in importance to this. >> let me remind you if you need a little bit of antianxiety ms give me a call. i will take care of you. >> bill: i don't take anything. ever. >> after a colmes, it might be a medical emergency. >> bill: i will read the emails. that will be the catharsis tomorrow. i should i overreacted. but i feel passionately about this, charles. i think we are in danger here. factor tip of the day. why americans are not going to church. the tip 60 seconds away. for over 125 years we've been bringing people

the "the washington post" not a conservative bassian says it's all about nancy pelosi. krauthammer, crowley and colmes will analyze. >> these were smears during my election process. >> bill: involved in the senator menendez prostitution situation. we will have the latest. ♪ ♪ >> why are americans turning away from worshiping in public? we'll have some answers. caution. you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the real reason president obama is not trying to solve the fiscal chaos. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. as you may have noticed i'm getting very frustrated with president obama. it has nothing to do with ideology. it has to do with performance. it's obvious to anyone who pays attention that mr. obama is is not trying to solve the fiscal mess. he does not want to cut spending and will not put forth any specific plans to do so. he will also not give his vision on entitlement reform, things like social security and medicare which are draining the treasury. i mean, the president is the leader of the country, it's his job to get the debate started with concrete proposals. mr. obama simply will not do it to the great detriment of the nation. that's a fact. here is another fact. the press largely letting him get away with it the key question is why. why is mr. obama not trying to solve complex problems? recent article in the "the washington post" provides some insight about the lack of compromise on mr. obama's part. quote: the goal is to flip the republican held house back to the democrat control allowing obama to push forward with the progressive on gun control, immigration during final two years in office according to congressional democrats, strategists and others familiar with obama's thinking, unquote. what we have is a reelected president basically not trying to reach consensus on important issues. rather, he is hoping that the messy stalemate will tee off voters who will then throw out republicans and give him full control in 2014. that's very disturbing. as brit hume said last night on the factor. >> the president seems prepared to let the public suffer almost as much as possible as long as he he can blame somebody else. this is not what we expect of presidents. presidents in the end are supposed to be the people who put on heir big boy pants and are prepared to shoulder responsibility. >> bill: it's all about the progressive theme of greater good. let the folks suffer now so we can save them later by changing america into a far left nation. it's almost like mr. obama is sabotaging the country so he he it. there comes a point where every nation in history gets what it deserves. rome, japan, germany, russia, all were destroyed by venal leaders exploiting apathetic population. i pray that doesn't happen to us. but we the people need to wise up fast. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight, reaction, with us, our barack and hard place duo monica crowley and alan colmes. do you believe the post article. >> i believe he indeed is trying to flip correct me if i am wrong to make it democratic. no he question about that why would we be surprised that a democrat president wants a democratic congress to work with. >> bill: they expense of the folks. >> i don't believe he is doing it because he doesn't want to help the country or he doesn't think what is best for the country is to work with. they have said they did not want to work with him. they have shown they haven'tment wanted to work with him. >> bill: let's get specific rather than this bs. brit hume not compatible ideology. both make the same point. the president is willing to have americans suffer for the greater good of trying to have nancy pelosi wanting the country toy to suffer. >> what it talks about was he wants to flip congress. >> bill: did you read the post article? >> yes. yes. >> he is making it impossible to reach accord with the republicans. >> it's one thing to say he wants to flip the house. another thing to say he purposely wants the american people to suffer. i don't believe that for a second. >> bill: i don't believe it's possible to get anything done. do you agree with that? >> yes. so you have to go back to who barack obama is. remember four years ago when he was campaigning in 2008, bill, he talked about the fundamental transformation of the nation. we now have over four years of evidence as to exactly what he meant. so what he wants is the last two years of his presidency to look like his first two years, meaning, a wide open political field. >> bill: he didn't do this stuff in the first two years though. >> what are you talking about? he got socialized medicine. he got -- he started ramping up the spending and growing the government. >> bill: here is where you are going wrong. you might disagree with obama care, all right? he he got it done. all right? he got it done. >> how did he get it done because he had massive majorities in congress. which is what he wants for the last two years. >> bill: but here he he hasn't even submitted any proposals don't you see the difference? >> right. bang then he was saying i want social lived medicine or whatever you want to call it now he doesn't do anything. he just says we want to raise taxes. let's raise them again. even though i just got one. >> there is nothing put forth, nothing. >> because he is not a problem-solver, is he a fundamental transformer. >> he has offered i disagree with what he is being said here. $2.50 in tax cuts for every dollar. >> that's not. >> yes, he has. >> cuts in medicare. offered cuts to entitlements. >> bill: that's not specific. he has to say here are the programs that are going to go down. here is how we are going to reform medicare and social security. and the man refuses to do it. >> that's not true. >> bill: yes it is. >> hold it because now i'm getting teed off at you. give me one damn program he said he would cut? one? >> he has cut entitlements. >> not entitlements. one program. >> what do you want to yell for? >> bill: because you are lying. you are lying. >> don't call me a liar. don't you sit there and call me a liar. >> bill: you are lying. >> here is the proof. >> you don't like the president. you don't like what he is doing. don't sit there and call me a liar. >> bill: i am. >> i'm not lying. we can have a disagreement without you calling me a liar. that's not necessary. >> bill: you are lying here. >> we are not lying. >> bill: where is the proof. >> there is a disagreement and. >> bill: give me one program he would cut. >> he would cut medicare and medicaid offered cuts to those programs. >> bill: that's not a specific program. >> those are programs. >> okay. you know when he has said anything about even approaches what he you are saying alan he doesn't mean it? >> i want to stay with colmes. >> all right. >> bill: i don't usually do what i just did to him. i asked him four times, colmes, to give me one specific program out of all the federal budget, $3.2 trillion worth of spending, that obama said he would cut. one. one. >> he hurt himself. >> bill: give him one. >> hurt himself with his base because he has said talked about cuts to medicare. >> bill: 3.2 trillion in spending. right? i asked colmes for one he he can't provide it can you. >> i cannot because he has not. >> bill: both of our people. both of our people, ladies and gentlemen cannot provide one program out of 3.2 trillion in spending that this president said he would cut. and you sit there and you say you are not -- come on. >> you are accusing the president of wanting the people to suffer in this country. that's not true. you disagree with him. >> bill: sitting in an oval office for five years with a 17 trillion-dollar debt, and refusing to say one program that he would cut. you don't think that's putting the burden on the american people. >> what do you call medicare? what do i keep telling you. >> bill: there is jack what you are saying. there is another word for it? >> i disagree. >> bill: it's not about a disagreement. you can't back up -- you can't give me one example of any federal program that he said he would cut. not one. >> what did i just say? >> bill: medicare. you can't say he is going to cut medicare? where is he going to cut it? is he going to take money away from 62-year-olds? 58-year-olds? is he going to take it away from the states? where is he going to get medicare? where? >> less money going to the states. >> bill: how much less. >> less money reimbursed to doctors. >> bill: how much less. >> cutting the reimbursement to doctors and hospitals. >> bill: this is just bull blank. >> cutting reimburse. s to doctors and hospitals. that's what he is has talked about. this is bull blank. >> i answered your question. he talked about cutting reimbursements. >> bill: last word. >> all this president has done the exact opposite. he and reid and pelosi have done unprecedented spending blowout over the last four years. amassed $6 trillion in debit over four years which is a record. >> bill: i'm so angry about it and i apologize to you, colmes. i shouldn't have used the word lie but you did not put forth here anything that he would do. >> cutting reimbursements to hospitals and doctors. >> bill: you don't know how much. to where, to whom, you don't know anything. >> you asked me which programs. >> bill: the reason you don't know it because the guy that you revere refuses to say anything specific about anything. all he wants to do is raise taxes, that's it. that's not how you compromise. that's not how you get anything done. that's not how you bring down the deficit. >> he has hurt himself with this progressive base by saying he wants to cut those payments. >> bill: i don't give a damn about the progressive base. i give a damn about the american people and we are being conned and you are buying the con and put out b.s. >> i disagree we are being conned. >> bill: did i go over board there. >> no i thought it was great. >> bill: monica's book "what the bleep just happened" there it is. >> bill: there you go. now in paper bag. senator menendez situation getting more intense. later, the harvard stupidity newspaper calling me a bad alumnus. wow, talk with the editor moments away. i'm a conservative investor. but that doesn't mean i don't want to make money. i love making money. i try to be smart with my investments. i also try to keep my costs down. what's your plan?

>> i say the "the washington post" story is ludicrous. the "the washington post" story was an attempt to take down our story but if you read it carefully and trust me, we he did. it doesn't achieve that they hold up an affidavit in their piece as evidence that the woman we interviewed was lying. we're not mentioning the affidavit. it has nothing to with the story we did. in fact, it's not at all clear that the woman he they are talking about is the same woman we interviewed. i read the post piece. i don't see anything. she said she talked about in our interview. i was there for our interview. she didn't say these things. she, for example, told the "the washington post" that she was surreptitiously taped. hidden camera. right into the camera in a video camera in our conversation with her. it was absurd not at all clear what happened. i know the post piece did not prove our piece wrong. >> bill: was this an underaged prostitute you talked with. >> no she identified herself as 24. >> bill: regular prostitute >> bill: how do you know the woman is telling the truth? i want to give all americans the benefit of the doubt and the presumption -- >> -- sure. >> bill: the presumption of innocence. when a journalist parades somebody through, makes a heinous allegation about a public figure. >> right. >> bill: and that person is pretty much protected, they are anonymous. i don't know. it makes me a little queazy, tucker. >> i get it. this is one of the basic can a nun drums of journalism. people come forward and make agencies. can you know the truth of them. >> bill: face on them and they are out there and they are taking the bricks that come with an allegation. i can understand that. but a protected criminal? >> but, bill, i mean, i have been doing this 22 years, not as long as you, you know the truth. which is 90% of our sources have agendas, they are anonymous, they are working for reasons you don't fully understand. >> bill: why do you believe this. >> here is why. because she did -- she and her partner did an oncamera interview with us for quite some time that was quite specific. and by the way it comports with other stories we have done. we environment viewed a prostitute in the united states who said she had contact with senator menendez. this was not out of left field. again, by the way. this is part of a much larger story about the senator's trips down to the dominican republic with the campaign contributor who as you noted in the intro is under fbi investigation. this is not a random one off we did. you would have gathered that from reading the "the washington post" piece. it wasn't. much larger piece about this senator's activities in the dominican republic which we think descreerve scrutiny. many in the press disagree. they batted this down as if it was entirely illegitimate to air the claims of human beings on camera, you know, it's not. that's straightforward, traditional journalism. that's what we did. is it possible though that this story was manufactured by people who don't like menendez and want to get him? you know, you give the woman a grand or two and she comes on and tells you all this stuff when she is protected. you know, i just don't know. >> well, i can tell you, this our source, the person who brought this story to us, i am satisfied entirely received no money from anyone for the story when a post piece came out, the first thing we did was reengineer the story. report it, go back to our sources, check everything we had reported first time to make certain, look, if we are wrong, i have been wrong over the years for sure. i will admit it to not admit it is dishonest. we went and reschekd every fact. did our source take money in the answer is no, he didn't. >> bill: all right. i'm a little queazy with the prostitution angle on this. i think the fbi's investigation of the donor helped menendez has to go forward. that's the bigger, bigger story. and. >> okay. tucker. directly ahead the harvard newspaper says i'm a bad alumnus. could that possibly be true?

>> yes. sure, yes. >> bill: do you remember what my objection to that group was? >> um, no. i don't recall. >> bill: you don't recall. so maybe you were wrong in writing that i implied some kind of moral turpitude about this situation. is it possible that you might have been wrong there? >> well, i think instead of taking a step back and looking at the overall staff editorial, it was actually not as much on the munch component of it but on the pinheaded professors comment. >> bill: you wrote that i was implying and something we never do here. i don't imply and can you ask a ask alan colmes. i state. i don't imply anything. but you don't know what my objection to the munch thing was. you just don't know. even though your brother was here and defended the organization. and i will tell you what my objection was. that the harvard student fund would pay for it i couldn't care less whether the munch people go out and do whatever they want to do. but we had a young woman, woman, a young harvard student who said i object to this in your face stuff in public and i don't want my student fees to be paying for it. >> sure. >> bill: that's a reasonable position which i took up. so, you don't know that so that's not good for you. would you concede that's not the best journalism, mr. sam yells? >> well, -- we will get to the other one in a moment. >> i think it's more important to talk about the staff editorial as a whole. >> bill: i'm interested in journalism. this is a journalism thing. i'm a disloyal alumnus because i did this. i didn't really do it. i objected to the student funds. now, you said i called some professors pinheaded which i absolutely did. do you know any professors at harvard who are pinheaded? >> you know, i think, like any. >> bill: bob, do you know any professors at harvard who are pinheaded? >> i wouldn't call them pinheaded. that wouldn't the lingo i would use. >> bill: no professor in your experience in cambridge who was a pinhead? nobody? >> you know, i think it's a pretty talented group of people so i wouldn't necessarily refer to them. >> you are entitled to your opinion. i will give you my class list. i will introduce you to a few of them. pinhead is kind of an almost affectionate term here. we use it all the time describe a variety of people who don't think clearly on any certain day. now, let's get to the larger question of the editorial. am i treacherous for calling a harvard professor a pinhead? am i treacherous and a disloyal alum? >> well, i think an important point to keep in mind about the staff editorial was that there certainly was a tongue in cheek component to it. and so, you know, treacherous was certainly part of that. >> bill: so i'm not really treacherous then? i'm overreacting? >> no. i think, again, it was part of that whole motif. taking a step back, we were commenting while it was tongue in cheek commenting seriously on the sort of hypocrisy embedded in coming to a school utilizing its educational resources and then turning around a few years later and credit sighing the school in a sort of blanket way. >> bill: can i reply for that. >> seemingly for purposes. >> >> bill: i paid my tuition to the kennedy school it. it was quite a lot. i have donated money to the school subsequently. but here is why i'm criticizing the school because it has taken a sharp turn to the left. the deans when i was there my a and alisyn were fair men. the dean of the committed school now is a committed leftist. the shorenstein center, i'm sure you know press public public policy 2 a professors. do you know how many republicans are among those 25 professors? >> how many? >> bill: none. 25 professors, no republicans. do you think that's a good thing for the harvard university? >> well, i mean, certainly it's important to have balance across the university. >> bill: i have given you a fact as a -- as a journalist and editor you like facts because facts are good. 25 professors at the sorentein center, no republicans. i criticized that does that make me disloyal? >> you know, bill, i don't think we are -- you know, criticizing you for that element. >> bill: yeah. >> i think the idea of the staff editorial and sort of what we're thinking in general here are going after those elements of debate that are sort of broad, blanket atax on the the -- attacks on the instiewcialg quality. >> bill: do that. you named me. you named me, you named cruise. >> you referred to the professors in sort of a blanket way as pinheads. >> bill: come on. you did the tongue in cheek thing you know with the freshry deal, the pinhead thing here for years we have been doing that. >> sure. >> bill: not all pinheads. i'm sure all the professors don't know. here is what i want you to do bob, i think you are a good guy. i want you to look at what you wrote and what the facts are, all right? and then maybe you will re-think it and come back and we'll talk about it again but i have got to go tonight. okay? fair enough? plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. john stossel says daryl hannah is crazy that you can't heat your home with alternatives fuels. he will be here. transgendered people. should be interesting, huh?

just one? >> well, let me just say that from what i hear with your exchange from colmes no one died so that's the good news. specific cuts, no, i think the answer is. no. >> bill: okay. i just want to stop you there. because this is important for the audience to understand why i got so upset. so, the president has been in office for more than four years, all right? he has not offered one spending cut in a budget of 3.2 trillion with a 17 trillion-dollar debt. that's flat out irresponsible. that's not a policy problem. that's a subversion of our financial system. and that's what's really worrying me about this. because, guys like colmes, continue to stick up for mr. obama because of ideological reasons. while he is putting every one of us in danger or am i overstating this, charles? >> no. because you have got the numbers. and the math on your side. the man is not interested in cutting. he hasn't cut. what he has done is he has increased. year by year the spending increases. at the beginning he was able to call it stimulus. the largest spending bill in the history of the universe over $800 billion in one shot. and i don't know what the residue of that is. and then for a couple of years he shied away from the word stimulus. but every time he negotiated he wanted more spending. what did he say in his inaugural address and what did he say in his state of the union address this year he wants to invest. which is the new democratic word for spending. he talked about spending. he didn't talk about cuts. what i meant to say earlier is he will dangle occasionally he will say well in negotiations with the speaker, i offered x, y, and z. this is always in the back room in the whisper. show us on paper. show us in a budget that he hasn't done because he is not interested in cutting. >> bill: so i'm glad. because you follow this probably closer than i follow it. but the overarch of my remarks to alan colmes in the talking points memo and to the american people is that we're not being dealt with honestly here. this is about gamesmanship and trying to manipulate the voter to throw the republicans out so that barack obama can impose a far left vision on this country unincumbered with an opposition. is he willing as brit hume said last night on this broadcast to let people go down the drain financially, if the dollar collapses and that could very well happen, to get this political ideological thing done. and we're not being told the truth by alan colmes, by president obama, or by anyone in the democratic party. >> well, here is the truth of obama's intentions. i wrote this at the beginning of december. it was very clear in negotiations in the fight over the fiscal cliff. that obama no interest in cutting the deficit. has no interest in cutting spending. he simply is not interested in that. he has, to his credit, a vision of america, it's not mine. it's not yours. but he has a vision. he outlined it openly in his state of the union address. of an entitlement state, more along the lines of europe. he thinks it's a more just society. what he has been interested in is this. in order to enact the vision. in order to enact things like obama care, he needs control of the congress. so what is unique about him is normally a second term president is not interested in the polls. not interested in politics. he wants to enact his agenda but obama knows that as long as the republicans control the house, he can't proceed. >> bill: all right. >> he saw that in the first term. >> bill: the welfare of the economy be damned, i'm going to get this ideological jihad done by making the people be angry at the republicans because they can't possibly compromise on this. >> right. that is the strategy. >> bill: all right. >> now, in his defense, he would say, a person of his left liberal social democratic ideology, that in order to achieve a more ideal society, a more just society, you have got to enact all of the stuff he wants to do and still is left undone, control of education nationalizing child care. nationalizing energy. cap and trade, all of that. you have got to do all of that. green energy, you have to impose it and in order to achieve that, which he thinks is the higher achievement, he has to crush the republicans and then he will have in the last two years the opportunity but always remaking america, always. >> bill: keep in your mind, charles, that he is willing to put the entire country in jeopardy, economic jeopardy to realize this vision. is he gambling with our lives here. and that's why i got so angry. and i am angry and i'm going to continue to be. next week we will do the sandra fluke thing which pales in importance to this. >> let me remind you if you need a little bit of antianxiety ms give me a call. i will take care of you. >> bill: i don't take anything. ever. >> after a colmes, it might be a medical emergency. >> bill: i will read the emails. that will be the catharsis tomorrow. i should i overreacted. but i feel passionately about this, charles. i think we are in danger here. factor tip of the day. why americans are not going to church. the tip 60 seconds away.

we'll have some answers. caution. you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the real reason president obama is not trying to solve the fiscal chaos. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. as you may have noticed i'm getting very frustrated with president obama. it has nothing to do with ideology. it has to do with performance. it's obvious to anyone who pays attention that mr. obama is is not trying to solve the fiscal mess. he does not want to cut spending and will not put forth any specific plans to do so. he will also not give his vision on entitlement reform, things like social security and medicare which are draining the treasury. i mean, the president is the leader of the country, it's his job to get the debate started with concrete proposals. mr. obama simply will not do it to the great detriment of the nation. that's a fact. here is another fact. the press largely letting him get away with it the key question is why. why is mr. obama not trying to solve complex problems? recent article in the "the washington post" provides some insight about the lack of compromise on mr. obama's part. quote: the goal is to flip the republican held house back to the democrat control allowing obama to push forward with the progressive on gun control, immigration during final two years in office according to congressional democrats, strategists and others familiar with obama's thinking, unquote. what we have is a reelected president basically not trying to reach consensus on important issues. rather, he is hoping that the messy stalemate will tee off voters who will then throw out republicans and give him full control in 2014. that's very disturbing. as brit hume said last night on the factor. >> the president seems prepared to let the public suffer almost as much as possible as long as he he can blame somebody else. this is not what we expect of presidents. presidents in the end are supposed to be the people who put on heir big boy pants and are prepared to shoulder responsibility. >> bill: it's all about the progressive theme of greater good. let the folks suffer now so we can save them later by changing america into a far left nation. it's almost like mr. obama is sabotaging the country so he he can reshape it. there comes a point where every nation in history gets what it deserves. rome, japan, germany, russia, all were destroyed by venal leaders exploiting apathetic population. i pray that doesn't happen to us. but we the people need to wise up fast. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight, reaction, with us, our barack and hard place duo monica crowley and alan colmes. do you believe the post article. >> i believe he indeed is trying to flip correct me if i am wrong to make it democratic. no he question about that why would we be surprised that a democrat president wants a democratic congress to work with. >> bill: they expense of the folks. >> i don't believe he is doing it because he doesn't want to help the country or he doesn't think what is best for the country is to work with. they have said they did not want to work with him. they have shown they haven'tment wanted to work with him. >> bill: let's get specific rather than this bs. brit hume not compatible ideology. both make the same point. the president is willing to have americans suffer for the greater good of trying to have nancy pelosi wanting the country toy to suffer. >> what it talks about was he wants to flip congress. >> bill: did you read the post article? >> yes. yes. >> he is making it impossible to reach accord with the republicans. >> it's one thing to say he wants to flip the house. another thing to say he purposely wants the american people to suffer. i don't believe that for a second. >> bill: i don't believe it's possible to get anything done. do you agree with that? >> yes. so you have to go back to who barack obama is. remember four years ago when he was campaigning in 2008, bill, he talked about the fundamental transformation of the nation. we now have over four years of evidence as to exactly what he meant. so what he wants is the last two years of his presidency to look like his first two years, meaning, a wide open political field. >> bill: he didn't do this stuff in the first two years though. >> what are you talking about? he got socialized medicine. he got -- he started ramping up the spending and growing the government. >> bill: here is where you are going wrong. you might disagree with obama care, all right? he he got it done. all right? he got it done. >> how did he get it done because he had massive majorities in congress. which is what he wants for the last two years. >> bill: but here he he hasn't even submitted any proposals don't you see the difference? >> right. bang then he was saying i want social lived medicine or whatever you want to call it now he doesn't do anything. he just says we want to raise taxes. let's raise them again. even though i just got one. >> there is nothing put forth, nothing. >> because he is not a problem-solver, is he a fundamental transformer. >> he has offered i disagree with what he is being said here. $2.50 in tax cuts for every dollar. >> that's not. >> yes, he has. >> cuts in medicare. offered cuts to entitlements. >> bill: that's not specific. he has to say here are the programs that are going to go down. here is how we are going to reform medicare and social security. and the man refuses to do it. >> that's not true. >> bill: yes it is. >> hold it because now i'm getting teed off at you. give me one damn program he said he would cut? one? >> he has cut entitlements. >> not entitlements. one program. >> what do you want to yell for? >> bill: because you are lying. you are lying. >> don't call me a liar. don't you sit there and call me a liar. >> bill: you are lying. >> here is the proof. >> you don't like the president. you don't like what he is doing. don't sit there and call me a liar. >> bill: i am. >> i'm not lying. we can have a disagreement without you calling me a liar. that's not necessary. >> bill: you are lying here. >> we are not lying. >> bill: where is the proof. >> there is a disagreement and. >> bill: give me one program he would cut. >> he would cut medicare and medicaid offered cuts to those programs. >> bill: that's not a specific program. >> those are programs. >> okay. you know when he has said anything about even approaches what he you are saying alan he doesn't mean it? >> i want to stay with colmes. >> all right. >> bill: i don't usually do what i just did to him. i asked him four times, colmes, to give me one specific program out of all the federal budget, $3.2 trillion worth of spending, that obama said he would cut. one. one. >> he hurt himself. >> bill: give him one. >> hurt himself with his base because he has said talked about cuts to medicare. >> bill: 3.2 trillion in spending. right? i asked colmes for one he he can't provide it can you. >> i cannot because he has not. >> bill: both of our people. both of our people, ladies and gentlemen cannot provide one program out of 3.2 trillion in spending that this president said he would cut. and you sit there and you say you are not -- come on. >> you are accusing the president of wanting the people to suffer in this country. that's not true. you disagree with him. >> bill: sitting in an oval office for five years with a 17 trillion-dollar debt, and refusing to say one program that he would cut. you don't think that's putting the burden on the american people. >> what do you call medicare? what do i keep telling you. >> bill: there is jack what you are saying. there is another word for it? >> i disagree. >> bill: it's not about a disagreement. you can't back up -- you can't give me one example of any federal program that he said he would cut. not one. >> what did i just say? >> bill: medicare. you can't say he is going to cut medicare? where is he going to cut it? is he going to take money away from 62-year-olds? 58-year-olds? is he going to take it away from the states? where is he going to get medicare? where? >> less money going to the states. >> bill: how much less. >> less money reimbursed to doctors. >> bill: how much less. >> cutting the reimbursement to doctors and hospitals. >> bill: this is just bull blank. >> cutting reimburse. s to doctors and hospitals. that's what he is has talked about. this is bull blank. >> i answered your question. he talked about cutting reimbursements. >> bill: last word. >> all this president has done the exact opposite. he and reid and pelosi have done unprecedented spending blowout over the last four years. amassed $6 trillion in debit over four years which is a record. >> bill: i'm so angry about it and i apologize to you, colmes. i shouldn't have used the word lie but you did not put forth here anything that he would do. >> cutting reimbursements to hospitals and doctors. >> bill: you don't know how much. to where, to whom, you don't know anything. >> you asked me which programs. >> bill: the reason you don't know it because the guy that you revere refuses to say anything specific about anything. all he wants to do is raise taxes, that's it. that's not how you compromise. that's not how you get anything done. that's not how you bring down the deficit. >> he has hurt himself with this progressive base by saying he wants to cut those payments. >> bill: i don't give a damn about the progressive base. i give a damn about the american people and we are being conned and you are buying the con and put out b.s. >> i disagree we are being conned. >> bill: did i go over board there. >> no i thought it was great. >> bill: monica's book "what the bleep just happened" there it is. >> bill: there you go. now in paper bag. senator menendez situation getting more intense. later, the harvard stupidity newspaper calling me a bad alumnus. wow, talk with the editor moments away. >> bill: impact segment tonight, as you may know, senator robert menendez is under heavy pressure because a friend of his is being investigated on crumtion charges by the fbi. there have been allegations that menendez tried to help that friend with government contracts and also could boarded in the dominican republic with prostitutes that's what's been alleged. when we initially reported the story, i said this about the alleged hookers. >> bill: the problem is that they are in the dominican republic, they are in a shadowy industry. these are not law abiding citizens coming forth as you know. a lot of money changes hands in these things you can bribe criminals to stay anything. according to the "the washington post" today. that's exactly what happened some woman make charges against menendez who denied having anything to could with prostitutes nameless, faceless, anonymous through right wing blogs drove into the mainstream a story absolutely false that these were smears that began during my election process. and that increasingly become obvious that that is what they were. smears in appear attempt to effect the results of an election. now there is another wrinkle to the situation. joining us from washington tucker carlson the editor of the daily caller first broke the menendez story. rather complicated and i want to walk through this with you. i have a lot of trouble with the prostitution angle of this story because you put forth some allegations but you don't have a name attached to them. you know, it's an anonymous source. you know what this world is. they will say anything for money. there might be people trying to set up menendez. that has to be taken into consideration. the "the washington post" says it's a bogus story about the prostitutes. and you say? >> i say the "the washington post" story is ludicrous. the "the washington post" story was an attempt to take down our story but if you read it carefully and trust me, we he did. it doesn't achieve that they hold up an affidavit in their piece as evidence that the woman we interviewed was lying. we're not mentioning the affidavit. it has nothing to with the story we did. in fact, it's not at all clear that the woman he they are talking about is the same woman we interviewed. i read the post piece. i don't see anything. she said she talked about in our interview. i was there for our interview. she didn't say these things. she, for example, told the "the washington post" that she was surreptitiously taped. hidden camera. right into the camera in a video camera in our conversation with her. it was absurd not at all clear what happened. i know the post piece did not prove our piece wrong. >> bill: was this an underaged prostitute you talked with. >> no she identified herself as 24. >> bill: regular prostitute >> bill: how do you know the woman is telling the truth? i want to give all americans the benefit of the doubt and the presumption -- >> -- sure. >> bill: the presumption of innocence. when a journalist parades somebody through, makes a heinous allegation about a public figure. >> right. >> bill: and that person is pretty much protected, they are anonymous. i don't know. it makes me a little queazy, tucker. >> i get it. this is one of the basic can a nun drums of journalism. people come forward and make agencies. can you know the truth of them. >> bill: face on them and they are out there and they are taking the bricks that come with an allegation. i can understand that. but a protected criminal? >> but, bill, i mean, i have been doing this 22 years, not as long as you, you know the truth. which is 90% of our sources have agendas, they are anonymous, they are working for reasons you don't fully understand. >> bill: why do you believe this. >> here is why. because she did -- she and her partner did an oncamera interview with us for quite some time that was quite specific. and by the way it comports with other stories we have done. we environment viewed a prostitute in the united states who said she had contact with senator menendez. this was not out of left field. again, by the way. this is part of a much larger story about the senator's trips down to the dominican republic with the campaign contributor who as you noted in the intro is under fbi investigation. this is not a random one off we did. you would have gathered that from reading the "the washington post" piece. it wasn't. much larger piece about this senator's activities in the dominican republic which we think descreerve scrutiny. many in the press disagree. they batted this down as if it was entirely illegitimate to air the claims of human beings on camera, you know, it's not. that's straightforward, traditional journalism. that's what we did. is it possible though that this story was manufactured by people who don't like menendez and want to get him? you know, you give the woman a grand or two and she comes on and tells you all this stuff when she is protected. you know, i just don't know. >> well, i can tell you, this our source, the person who brought this story to us, i am satisfied entirely received no money from anyone for the story when a post piece came out, the first thing we did was reengineer the story. report it, go back to our sources, check everything we had reported first time to make certain, look, if we are wrong, i have been wrong over the years for sure. i will admit it to not admit it is dishonest. we went and reschekd every fact. did our source take money in the answer is no, he didn't. >> bill: all right. i'm a little queazy with the prostitution angle on this. i think the fbi's investigation of the donor helped menendez has to go forward. that's the bigger, bigger story. and. >> okay. tucker. directly ahead the harvard newspaper says i'm a bad alumnus. could that possibly be true? speak with the editor. john stossel says actress daryl hannah is full of it when she told me alternative energy can heat my house. we're coming right back. there is no mass produced human. so we created the extraordinarily comfortable sleep number experience. a collection of innovations designed around a bed with dualair technology that allows you to adjust to the support your body needs - each of your bodies. you'll only find sleep number at one of our over 400 stores nationwide. where queen mattresses start at just $699. and right now enjoy the lowest prices of the season on our most popular bed sets. sleep number. comfort individualized. >> bill: personal story segment tonight, as you may know, i have a master's degree from the kennedy school at harvard in public administration. i enjoyed my time in cambridge but the school has changed dramatically. moved even more left than when i was there. on occasion i'm critical of harvard because it's not a fair and balanced campus, by any means. enter the student newspaper the harvard crimson which recently wrote this, quote: in november fox news pundit and harvard kennedy school graduate bill o'reilly referred to harvard professors as pinheaded while implying that the harvard community is morally suspect for its acceptance of harvard college munch, a group of students sharing interest of kinky sex. teachry are apparently attempts to curry favor with our body politic. quote. joining us is bobby sam yells. your brother ben who was on this program when we talked about this munch group. do you remember, did you see the piece by the way with your brother? >> yes. sure, yes. >> bill: do you remember what my objection to that group was? >> um, no. i don't recall. >> bill: you don't recall. so maybe you were wrong in writing that i implied some kind of moral turpitude about this situation. is it possible that you might have been wrong there? >> well, i think instead of taking a step back and looking at the overall staff editorial, it was actually not as much on the munch component of it but on the pinheaded professors comment. >> bill: you wrote that i was implying and something we never do here. i don't imply and can you ask a ask alan colmes. i state. i don't imply anything. but you don't know what my objection to the munch thing was. you just don't know. even though your brother was here and defended the organization. and i will tell you what my objection was. that the harvard student fund would pay for it i couldn't care less whether the munch people go out and do whatever they want to do. but we had a young woman, woman, a young harvard student who said i object to this in your face stuff in public and i don't want my student fees to be paying for it. >> sure. >> bill: that's a reasonable position which i took up. so, you don't know that so that's not good for you. would you concede that's not the best journalism, mr. sam yells? >> well, -- we will get to the other one in a moment. >> i think it's more important to talk about the staff editorial as a whole. >> bill: i'm interested in journalism. this is a journalism thing. i'm a disloyal alumnus because i did this. i didn't really do it. i objected to the student funds. now, you said i called some professors pinheaded which i absolutely did. do you know any professors at harvard who are pinheaded? >> you know, i think, like any. >> bill: bob, do you know any professors at harvard who are pinheaded? >> i wouldn't call them pinheaded. that wouldn't the lingo i would use. >> bill: no professor in your experience in cambridge who was a pinhead? nobody? >> you know, i think it's a pretty talented group of people so i wouldn't necessarily refer to them. >> you are entitled to your opinion. i will give you my class list. i will introduce you to a few of them. pinhead is kind of an almost affectionate term here. we use it all the time describe a variety of people who don't think clearly on any certain day. now, let's get to the larger question of the editorial. am i treacherous for calling a harvard professor a pinhead? am i treacherous and a disloyal alum? >> well, i think an important point to keep in mind about the staff editorial was that there certainly was a tongue in cheek component to it. and so, you know, treacherous was certainly part of that. >> bill: so i'm not really treacherous then? i'm overreacting? >> no. i think, again, it was part of that whole motif. taking a step back, we were commenting while it was tongue in cheek commenting seriously on the sort of hypocrisy embedded in coming to a school utilizing its educational resources and then turning around a few years later and credit sighing the school in a sort of blanket way. >> bill: can i reply for that. >> seemingly for purposes. >> >> bill: i paid my tuition to the kennedy school it. it was quite a lot. i have donated money to the school subsequently. but here is why i'm criticizing the school because it has taken a sharp turn to the left. the deans when i was there my a and alisyn were fair men. the dean of the committed school now is a committed leftist. the shorenstein center, i'm sure you know press public public policy 2 a professors. do you know how many republicans are among those 25 professors? >> how many? >> bill: none. 25 professors, no republicans. do you think that's a good thing for the harvard university? >> well, i mean, certainly it's important to have balance across the university. >> bill: i have given you a fact as a -- as a journalist and editor you like facts because facts are good. 25 professors at the sorentein center, no republicans. i criticized that does that make me disloyal? >> you know, bill, i don't think we are -- you know, criticizing you for that element. >> bill: yeah. >> i think the idea of the staff editorial and sort of what we're thinking in general here are going after those elements of debate that are sort of broad, blanket atax on the the -- attacks on the instiewcialg quality. >> bill: do that. you named me. you named me, you named cruise. >> you referred to the professors in sort of a blanket way as pinheads. >> bill: come on. you did the tongue in cheek thing you know with the freshry deal, the pinhead thing here for years we have been doing that. >> sure. >> bill: not all pinheads. i'm sure all the professors don't know. here is what i want you to do bob, i think you are a good guy. i want you to look at what you wrote and what the facts are, all right? and then maybe you will re-think it and come back and we'll talk about it again but i have got to go tonight. okay? fair enough? plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. john stossel says daryl hannah is crazy that you can't heat your home with alternatives fuels. he will be here. transgendered people. should be interesting, huh? hope you stay tuned to those reports. [ male announcer ] this is joe woods' first day of work. and his new ss told him two ings -- cook what you love, and save your money. joe doesn't know it yet, but he'll work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. he'll start investing early, he'll find se good people to help guide him, and he'll set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade. actress daryl hannah big environmental person gave me advice how to heat my house using alternative fuels. john stossel watched this and he said bunkd. i'm still feeling bad about colmes. >> good. you were out of line. >> bill: he wasn't out of line. i was maybe out of line with my tone but not with the facts of the matter you're a consumer reporter. has president obama put forth one solid cut on anything. >> no. he said he would and he hasn't. >> and the truth is on my side. >> success ter cuts aren't even cuts. spend something going up. >> bill: truth is going up. it's just that i probably didn't frame it with colmes. >> you were obnoxious. [ laughter ] >> bill: really? >> yeah. >> bill: you think so? you think it was too much? >> yeah. >> bill: all right. i will accept that. >> use it up on colmes. [ laughter ] >> bill: now, daryl hannah. she is a very nice woman. well-intentioned. >> she is and sincere. >> bill: 's to save the world for from fossil fuels. >> she is right you can heat your home with fossil fuels. it's awful that you can. people like her have gotten politicians to pass these horrible subsidies that allow it. and that just hurts poor people take it step-by-step. i want to be a green guy. you are a green guy. don't you have solar panels up in your massachusetts mansion. >> i do. is it because i want to be green? i don't think it's going to make any difference for the world. it's because it's cheaper because of all the idiot subsidies. >> bill: you got some kind of con where you got it put in and didn't have to pay for it? >> called government. >> bill: government subsidized whatever company you used. if i want to get solar panels they cost a lot of money. regular folks that use a possible rage. >> daryl hannah is right there. are companies that will fund it upfront because of these subsubsidies and you pay very little. the taxpayer pays. >> bill: somebody is paying for it? >> somebody is paying. >> bill: what about the alcohol thing. she wants to give me booze to poor in my car and heat my house. >> it's ethanol. it's the same fuel that gets all these subsidies that any environmental groups have now turned against because it turns out to produce just as much greenhouse gas to make it it's the same stuff? >> so, she wants me to drive the car up and put alcohol in that. >> well, she had a car once that ran on vegetable oil. >> bill: where do you get that? i told her that my gas station guy mohammed didn't have vegetable oil. >> is he forced to sell you ethanol. we all have to pay for that 40% of the corn in the country now goes to ethanol. >> bill: we don't have ethanol at that station. >> >> it's in the regular gasoline. >> bill: it's a blend. >> it's a blend. >> bill: she is talking about cars being run alcohol. and cars being heated by alcohol. you say it's not feasible? >> as government grows and they force it all it's feasible. >> bill: the government would be paying this enormous amount of money to make this happen though. >> right it already is paying a lot of it and it's awful because oil and gas are wonderful. >> bill: how you can say that? because global warming may be a threat but poverty is much worse. oil and gas produce so much energy for so little money. it let's us prosper. it's great. >> bill: the greater economic good is served by fossil fuels? >> yes. >> bill: al gore be damned, is that what you are saying? >> i often say that al gore? [ laughter ] >> bill: did you actually call me on knock us -- obnoxious on my own program? is that allowed? i have one of those ejector seats. i was goods going to use on colmes. john stossel and daryl hannah hates him. courts saying the state can't drug test welfare recipients. legal next. >> bill: thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly in the is it legal segment tonight it. three hot topics. get to them. here now attorneys and fox news analyst kimberly guilfoyle and lis wiehl. miami, a jury wanted to hold a sex offender, convicted sex offender -- not hold. a jury wanted to release the sex offender after the 25-year term. >> right. 4 the years old now. here is he. >> bill: what he did do. >> sexual assault of six women. he served his 25 years. full service. he was going to be let out. in florida they have a law that says you can be detained even after your criminal. >> bill: a lot of states have that. >> they have it. a jury of sex said no, he he -- a jury of six said no. he should be released. >> bill: rehabilitated. >> exactly. even though heard from psychiatrists and socialologists and people saying this guy is going to reoffend. even though this guy tried to escape. >> bill: testimony in front of the jury. the jury said you can walk? >> three, three. >> bill: so then a judge, guilfoyle cops in and does what? >> this is what is so interesting. when it's a split decision like that. the person is automatically released. >> bill: it was three to three on the jury. >> on the jury. so this judge, who did the right thing, very brave, sanchez-llorens. i disagree throwing out the jury's verdict: did a good job: vacate it because no reasonable jury could come to that conclusion. keep in mind the six victims that he was caught with, okay, were the ages of 15 to 28. so some were young girls. that's a problem right there. also, three psychologists unanimously testified that, in fact, she was a danger. sexually is a disstick. >> bill: he is not getting out. >> is he going to be treated in a civil context. not going to be in jail anymore. >> treatment. he can eventually get out. this is to protect the society and she did the right thing because this guy reoffends, it's, you know. >> it's renewed every year. look at it every year. >> bill: also in florida, they had a ban on drug testing. >> right. >> bill: it was challenged. the state challenged the ban. because the state of florida wants drug tests before you get welfare. >> sure, makes sense, right? >> but the federal appeals court, right? it was a federal thing. >> yes. >> unanimous. so you can't drug test welfare people? >> right. well, this is a problem. they put like a temporary restraining order on injunction to say that this isn't going to go forward. let the court hear it. the court said three unanimous 3-0. from the state government, there should be a threshold that you have to meet. if this is one of the things, then it should be. >> bill: i have got to go to the abortion doctor. south philadelphia, a doctor who made millions of dollars aborting babies. authorities caught up with him for what? what did they charge him with. >> charged him with 8 counts of murder. actually seven counts of murder. seven children. and then one count of third degree murder of a woman that was actually getting an abortion. the seven counts were for children that were born alive during the abortion. what they alleged, we're alleging in this trial is he took those babies that were born alive and snipped their spines and killed them. >> they were outside of the womb. out of the uterus. they were viable. >> that's infanticide. >> murder. >> charged with killing seven babies. >> one woman who went in for an abortion and died. >> pregnant refugee that was given an overdose of medication. >> looking at federal drug charges as well. a whole panoply of things. >> made millions of dollars doing. this a poor neighborhood. >> yes. >> the woman who died couldn't speak english and he would do anything for millions of dollars. this guy killed the babies. >> very sad. >> bill: commonwealth of pennsylvania you can abort a baby up to 24 weeks. >> 24 weeks. he was doing 8 months of age. >> they birthed them. >> birthed them and then he killed them. >> >> bill: let's road for this guy gets life in prison. >> death penalty case. he may get the death penalty. >> bill: good! i don't believe in the death penalty but symbolically he should. we appreciate it charles krauthammer on whether president obama is deceiving the nation. charles also addressed sandra fluke wanting military to recruit transgendered folks. charles moments away. from beautyrest40% and posturepedic.ets save hundreds on floor samples and closeout inventory. the beautyrest and posturepedic closeout sale is on now at sleep train. ♪ your ticket to a better night's sleep ♪ >> bill: back of the book segment tonight, was we put forth in the talking points memo i don't believe president obama is trying to solve the fiscal chaos in this country. the "the washington post" agrees with me the presidential president is making it very difficult to solve issues. get mad at the g.o.p. vote for democrats in 2014, divifing him control of congress. joining us is charles krauthammer. because this is the cause celeb tonight. colmes and i got it. and, again, i was probably too rough on. >> alisyn: alan, but i want to ask you what i asked stossel earlier. do you know of one specific federal program the president has said he would cut or any kind of specific cuts he would do to medicare or social security? just one? >> well, let me just say that from what i hear with your exchange from colmes no one died so that's the good news. specific cuts, no, i think the answer is. no. >> bill: okay. i just want to stop you there. because this is important for the audience to understand why i got so upset. so, the president has been in office for more than four years, all right? he has not offered one spending cut in a budget of 3.2 trillion with a 17 trillion-dollar debt. that's flat out irresponsible. that's not a policy problem. that's a subversion of our financial system. and that's what's really worrying me about this. because, guys like colmes, continue to stick up for mr. obama because of ideological reasons. while he is putting every one of us in danger or am i overstating this, charles? >> no. because you have got the numbers. and the math on your side. the man is not interested in cutting. he hasn't cut. what he has done is he has increased. year by year the spending increases. at the beginning he was able to call it stimulus. the largest spending bill in the history of the universe over $800 billion in one shot. and i don't know what the residue of that is. and then for a couple of years he shied away from the word stimulus. but every time he negotiated he wanted more spending. what did he say in his inaugural address and what did he say in his state of the union address this year he wants to invest. which is the new democratic word for spending. he talked about spending. he didn't talk about cuts. what i meant to say earlier is he will dangle occasionally he will say negoth the speaker, i offered x, y, and z. this is always in the back room in the whisper. show us on paper. show us in a budget that he hasn't done because he is not interested in cutting. >> bill: so i'm glad. because you follow this probably closer than i follow it. but the overarch of my remarks to alan colmes in the talking points memo and to the american people is that we're not being dealt with honestly here. this is about gamesmanship and trying to manipulate the voter to throw the republicans out so that barack obama can impose a far left vision on this country unincumbered with an opposition. is he willing as brit hume said last night on this broadcast to let people go down the drain financially, if the dollar collapses and that could very well happen, to get this political ideological thing done. and we're not being told the truth by alan colmes, by president obama, or by anyone in the democratic party. >> well, here is the truth of obama's intentions. i wrote this at the beginning of december. it was very clear in negotiations in the fight over the fiscal cliff. that obama no interest in cutting the deficit. has no interest in cutting spending. he simply is not interested in that. he has, to his credit, a vision of america, it's not mine. it's not yours. but he has a vision. he outlined it openly in his state of the union address. of an entitlement state, more along the lines of europe. he thinks it's a more just society. what he has been interested in is this. in order to enact the vision. in order to enact things like obama care, he needs control of the congress. so what is unique about him is normally a second term president is not interested in the polls. not interested in politics. he wants to enact his agenda but obama knows that as long as the republicans control the house, he can't proceed. >> bill: all right. >> he saw that in the first term. >> bill: the welfare of the economy be damned, i'm going to get this ideological jihad done by making the people be angry at the republicans because they can't possibly compromise on this. >> right. that is the strategy. >> bill: all right. >> now, in his defense, he would say, a person of his left liberal social democratic ideology, that in order to achieve a more ideal society, a more just society, you have got to enact all of the stuff he wants to do and still is left undone, control of education nationalizing child care. nationalizing energy. cap and trade, all of that. you have got to do all of that. green energy, you have to impose it and in order to achieve that, which he thinks is the higher achievement, he has to crush the republicans and then he will have in the last two years the opportunity but always remaking america, always. >> bill: keep in your mind, charles, that he is willing to put the entire country in jeopardy, economic jeopardy to realize this vision. is he gambling with our lives here. and that's why i got so angry. and i am angry and i'm going to continue to be. next week we will do the sandra fluke thing which pales in importance to this. >> let me remind you if you need a little bit of antianxiety ms give me a call. i will take care of you. >> bill: i don't take anything. ever. >> after a colmes, it might be a medical emergency. >> bill: i will read the emails. that will be the catharsis tomorrow. i should i overreacted. but i feel passionately about this, charles. i think we are in danger here. factor tip of the day. why americans are not going to church. the tip 60 seconds away. >> factor tip of the day. why americans are

we'll have a follow-up on the watters ambush tomorrow. and most of us in this country cannot believe we have a president who isn't worried about the crushing debt. we are in serious trouble. i agree. and i'm not sure if most americans are engaged. we have those folks who will not pay attention. and bill ramsey, australia. your comments that most americans don't know who john boehner is really does nail it. the ignorant population and a biased media is largely to blame for the mess america is in. nick withholding his last name kansas city, missouri, i'm a nurse and would not have performed cpr

elderly woman. her license should be suspended. bill, from pennsylvania. saw you on leno, tell it like it is, good for you. i try to tell it it like it it is, bill. i think we demonstrated that tonight. thanks for watching. all right, finally, tonight, the factor tip of the day, you know, i try to go to church every sunday to atone, to atone to weakness, and sometimes it's not easy going to church, sometimes the priests are boring, some people are passing out during the sermon, but it's important for all of us to take at least an hour a week to think about a higher power, to be introspective. even if you're an atheist, think about global warming, nature, anything outside of yourself. sadly most americans are not taking my advice. a recent gallup poll says 31% of we the people now attend church every sunday. for catholics, who are required to attend weekly mass, the number is even lower, 24%. it's not a good trend. as human beings need, need some spiritual discipline, so, here is the tip of the day. take at least one hour a week, do something theological, positive. all right? you'll be a the better person for it. factor tip of the day. and i hope that wasn't a boring sermon. that's it for us tonight. please check out the fox news factor website different from bill o'reilly.com and talking points are important tonight you'll hear a lot about our
