free, i save my wife, and i kill awall the white people in the movie. how great is that? >> is that a racist statement by actor jamie foxx? is that something we should be upset about. we'll look at that situation as well. 95% of talk radio in our country is right wing. it's divided our country in a way that we haven't been divided probably since the civil war. >> some liberal americans like rfk, jr. think the conservative media is dominating the discourse. bernie goldberg has some thoughts on that. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the fatherror begins righ facto. i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. confronting evil. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. we are living in a country that is rapidly changing. rules of civility are pretty much finished. america has always embraced robust debate. now there are elements on both the left and the right which are using disgraceful tactics to demean those with whom they disagree. some examples. supreme court is going to hear the gay marriage issue. some of those who support expanding the definition of marriage are accusing those who oppose o it of being human righs violators, bigots, hoa homophob. likewise, if you criticize president obama, there are fanatical left wingers who disagree are doing so because he's black. that kind of tactic should be condemned by all americans. let me give you a very vivid recent situation that is simply unacceptable. this man supports writer jason whitlock who actually works for foxsports.com. he injected race into the kansas city chief's murder suicide. he said unnamed forces in america want guns in the black communities so that people of color could destroy each other. whitlock went on to call the nra, quote, the new kkk. that, of course, is insane. the only reason anybody ever heard about it is because bob costas mentioned whitlock in his gun commentary on nbc. so we called this whitlock guy and invited him on the factor. here's what he wrote, quote. i was summoned to testify before speaker of the big house, bill o'reilly, the fox news entertainer. i don't have to shuffle off to the big house when summoned. o'reilly is not boehner, pelosi, or obama. he's tv intertainer who spent the weeks after the election crying about the end of white establishment america. the end of the days when an upstanding white man felt entitled to summon whomever he wanted whenever he wanted to the big house to dance. i don't dance, unquote. now, that is pure racism. nothing else. whitlock implying that i'm some kind of slave overlord, and he gets away with that kind of garbage. in fact, he gets paid to spout. way beyond disgraceful. that's poison but not unusual. hate speech now happening all the time. there comes a point when all good people must say enough. that point has now been reached in america. the jason whitlocks of the world deserve pity, but they also deserve to be exposed. they're using base emotion to try to injure people. they are liars, and they are abusing freedom of speech. this stuff has gotta stop. the top story tonight. join us from washington. juan, i think this kind of garbage is completely out of hand. am i overreacting? >> no. in fact, i would say that you're understating the case. let me tell you something. right now the provocators, and i agree with some of the things whitlock said about gun control, but he got in trouble for comments when he made racial comments about jeremy lin, the new york knicks and now houston rockets basketball player who is asian-american. when he he starts to talk about you in these terms, you know, this is in line with ma marginalizing what you had to say which was a totally legitimate comment about the white establishment going into lower numbers because of the rise in terms of blacks and hispanics. now he wants to make you out to be master of some big house. how ridiculous. let me tell you something. if he's asked to be on your show, the most popular show on cable tv, he should have regarded it as an honor and opportunity to have platform to speak out as a free black man. he's somehow twisted this in an attempt to make it racial, to make you into a bad guy, and that is an attack on honest debate in this country. i have written a book about it. they're trying to put a muzzlele on you, bill. they want muzzles on me when i say i'm in favor of school reform. this is madness. >> how do you see it? >> it's hateful and nasty and often the people who claim to be as open minded and tolerant among us as anyone can be the most hateful. this is an attempt to marginalize people who disagree with jason whitlock or people who are right of center. look. i think being invited on someone's show is prett clearly not -- pretty clearly not some sort of order. he cab say he doesn't want to come on the show. he could have had a discussion with you about the very issue he wants to talk about. he has written stuff that i've enjoyed. >> he's a big slave guy. reggie bush is kunta kinte. >> he apologized for the kkk and nra comment. >> ironically the kkk was pretty pro gun control because it kept guns out of the hands of black men who might have otherwise presidential candidatepresidenp. >> it's not an isolated thing with this guy. he has a history of doing it. he does it all the time. he gets paid to do it. nobody holds him accountable except me and i'm holding him accountable tonight, about you he's a small fish. he's out there in kansas city. he doesn't have a big platform. this is now starting to percolate on the network news level, cable news, that these people feel that they can come in with the most hateful invecive at all. the gay marriage thing bothers me. the supreme court will hear it. we're all interested in seeing what their point of view is. if you now oppose gay marriage for whatever reason, on religious grounds or whatever it may be, then you are a human rights violator, juan. your opinion isn't worth hearing, and you are not even a worthy person. this is where it's going. this is where it's going now, and it's tolerated and even encouraged by certain companies, big, big corporations, and that's disturbing. >> well, you know, i just think it's encouraged by people who don't want to have the honest debate. you have special interests in some cases who try to say you can't use that word, you can't say this. if you say this, you know, if you talk about the link between terrorism and islam you're a bigot. >> you bet. sure. >> okay. so this is to me and let me just say, the internet feeds a lot of this, bill, because then you have people thinking oh, i'm just talking to people of like minds and we're going to mock and marginalize and disdane people we don't like. they say the most people things. >> i don't read the stuff any more. those people are disturbed on the internet. you know, you're getting a very -- i don't think that reflects america at all. i think these are really the kooks. >> it plays into the larger conversation. it makes it harder to have an honest conversation. >> that's why you don't have them because people are afraid that they're going to be branded so they don't say anything. go ahead, mary kathryn. >> i'm not pro speech because i think you can get down the road a little bit but the issue a lot of times, what makes me more mad than people say because i want people to have their freedom of speech is the fact that one side is held to a standard and the other isn't. if you're right of center and happen to be talking about the something the left doesn't like, you popped your head up and get whacked down pretty quick. on the other side with jason whiwhitlock and other folks, the isn't anything. >> there's no scrutiny on them at all. when whitlock made the anti-chinese comments about jeremy lin, the basketball player, he apologized. i guess he's used to apologizing. he has to apologize pretty much for everything he says, but the man still is accepted in the liberal community, and he's accepted, and you know, when costas quoted him, i think he made a mistake. i told him that last week, bringing him into the conversation and it weakened costas' argument. all right, look. i agree with you. i'm not trying to muzzle anybody. >> no. >> i'm going to call him out. i've had enough. i'm calling out the christmas haters. i'm calling out the racial hustlers. i'm calling them all out. >> you go. >> that's what i'm going to do. as long as this program's on the air, i'm calling all of them out. >> bless you, bill o'reilly. next on the run down, is president obama trying to destroy the republican party by using the budget prize?

>> reporter: the president is playing hardball in the negotiations principally with house republicans because he feels like we've got an outcome coming that's bad all the way around but worse for republicans and they can less afford to have it occur than he cap can, and therefore he's got some leverage, i think in fact, he does. >> bill: is it just his nature or he feels emboldened by the election? >> actually, i don't think it's the election so much. look. he had the greatest voter mobilization effort probably in history anywhere. >> bill: right. >> it got him to 51%. that's not a landslide. > >> bill: no. three and a half million votes out of 120. >> he won narrowly, barely. an extraordinary achieve many to be sure under the circumstances. i think it's the law. i think a lot of conservatives and republicans don't get this. if nothing happens and the end of this month rolls around, tax rates go up on everybody. the rich and everybody else. in addition to that, there's this fairly draconian set of spending cuts that come into effect, but they fall with particular force on the pentagon. now, if you look at two things the republican party has stood for over the years, bill, one of them is low tax rates, and the other one is strong defense. so who has the most to lose if the fiscal cliff is breached? i think the answer is self evident. i'm not saying it's a good outcome but the polling all shows that the public would blame the republicans for the outcome, so they end up not stopping an outcome which is most negative for them, and they get the blame for it. >> bill: wonder why that is. wonder why that is. why do you think -- look. it's fairly aapparent that barack obama has put no meaningful cuts, spending cuts on the table. anybody who pays attention knows that. the president does not want a cut. he wants the big government. he wants to spend. in fact, he wants 500 million more to throw into some stimulus that hasn't worked the first two times he tried it. why do the american people say it's the g.o.p.'s fault when the president obviously isn't giving anything at all up? >> well, bill you know that and i know that in part because we watch fox news, and fox news reports it that way which is the straight forward way to report it. you can find that out from the other media, but you have to read it carefully because it's not apparent. all the conversation, all the discussion, all the news that's made in this whole discussion since the end of the election has been about what? it's been about tax rates on the rich. >> bill: right. >> that's been the whole story. the fact that the president hasn't come forward with anything meaningful on the spending side, especially on the entitlement side, it's possible to find it but it's not really evident. i'm saying the coverage is biased. >> bill: i don't want to put words in your mouth, but what you're saying because we have bernie goldberg coming up behind you but that the press has maybe worked in concert with the president, maybe not consciously, but they've worked in concert to define the issue in very narrow terms. taxing the rich will som solve e budget problems which is bull. it won't. they don't go into the president's stubborn posture of not giving up any cuts because he hasn't. >> that's true. i agree with that. look. there's a lot of things that the press can't accomplish and the press bias doesn't affect very much. this kind of thing, a budget steastale mate with the house of representatives which like all of congress is in low public esteem to begin with is the kind of thing how the press plays the story makes a big difference. i don't think there's any question about that, and i think that the coverage here has been very one-sided. >> bill: right. so that the obama administration knows that, the democratic party knows it's all going their way, all the propaganda, all the stuff that reaches the american people through the myriad of media outlets is all about tax ras for the rich and nothing about getting spendin spending r control. they walk into the room and go blank you guys, we're not giving you anything. we know the real story won't be reported. it's frightening. >> it is. the other piece of this, bill, that's very important is the consequence of not tackling the entitlement spending and reforming the programs so they cost less. it's very severe. they're not immediate. the president has what he considers to be some time to either deal with this or perhaps not deal with it and he leaves office and it's for the next person to deal with. now, it would take a lot of courage for him and he would have to break a lot of china in his own party to say we've got a short-term fiscal cliff and we've got a bi bigger one that that. i want to head it all off, and it will take a bargain to do it and i'm ready to do it. he talks about it, but he doesn't do it. >> bill: what are the odds? >> it's pretty remote. here are the results of the poll. do you believe president obama and the republicans will reach a budget deal before automatic tax increases are triggered? only 15% say yes. 85% do not believe that deal is going to be reached. we have a brand new bill o'reilly.com poll question for you. do you believe the factor's christmas controversy coverage is accurate or overblown?
