Bob will retire when hes 153, which would be fine if bob were a vampire. But hes not. Hes an architect with two kids and a mortgage. Luckily, he found someone who gave him a fresh perspective on his portfolio. And with some planning and effort, hopefully bob can retire at a more appropriate age. Its not rocket science. Its just common sense. From td ameritrade. Greta when it comes to the sequester did congress see the light . Literally . Do you know what . Its something. 10 of the lights are out. Its just. I told to you stop talking about it. Turns out its just a blown light bulb. Tell me if you think they should just use subpoenas on capitol hill if they want answers. Bill the Oreilly Factor is on. Tonight its happening because a choice that republicans in congress have made. They have decided to protect tax breaks for the welloff and the wellconnected. What is the real story behind president obamas failure to compromise on the fiscal mess . The the Washington Post not a conservative bassian says its 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 . Well have some answers. Caution. You are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor begins right now. Bill hi, im bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. The real reason president obama is not trying to solve the fiscal chaos. That is the subject of this evenings talking points memo. As you may have noticed im getting very frustrated with president obama. It has nothing to do with ideology. It has to do with performance. Its 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, its his job to get the debate started with concrete proposals. Mr. Obama simply will not do it to the great detriment of the nation. Thats 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. Obamas 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 obamas 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. Thats 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 president s. President s in the end are supposed to be the people who put on heir big boy pants and are prepared to shoulder responsibility. Bill its 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. Its 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 doesnt happen to us. But we the people need to wise up fast. Thats 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 dont believe he is doing it because he doesnt want to help the country or he doesnt 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 haventment wanted to work with him. Bill lets 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. Its one thing to say he wants to flip the house. Another thing to say he purposely wants the American People to suffer. I dont believe that for a second. Bill i dont believe its 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 didnt 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 hasnt even submitted any proposals dont you see the difference . Right. Bang then he was saying i want social lived medicine or whatever you want to call it now he doesnt do anything. He just says we want to raise taxes. Lets raise them again. Even though i just got one. There is nothing put forth, nothing. Because he is not a problemsolver, 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. Thats not. Yes, he has. Cuts in medicare. Offered cuts to entitlements. Bill thats 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. Thats not true. Bill yes it is. Hold it because now im 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. Dont call me a liar. Dont you sit there and call me a liar. Bill you are lying. Here is the proof. You dont like the president. You dont like what he is doing. Dont sit there and call me a liar. Bill i am. Im not lying. We can have a disagreement without you calling me a liar. Thats 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 thats 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 doesnt mean it . I want to stay with colmes. All right. Bill i dont 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 cant 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. Thats not true. You disagree with him. Bill sitting in an oval office for five years with a 17 trilliondollar debt, and refusing to say one program that he would cut. You dont think thats 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 its not about a disagreement. You cant back up you cant give me one example of any federal program that he said he would cut. Not one. What did i just say . Bill medicare. You cant say he is going to cut medicare . Where is he going to cut it . Is he going to take money away from 62yearolds . 58yearolds . 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. Thats 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 im so angry about it and i apologize to you, colmes. I shouldnt 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 dont know how much. To where, to whom, you dont know anything. You asked me which programs. Bill the reason you dont know it because the guy that you revere refuses to say anything specific about anything. All he wants to do is raise taxes, thats it. Thats not how you compromise. Thats not how you get anything done. Thats 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 dont 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 monicas book what the bleep just happened there it is. Bill there you go. Now in paper bag. Senator menendez situation getting more intense.

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 thats whats 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. Thats 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 dont have a name attached to them. You know, its 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 its 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 doesnt achieve that they hold up an affidavit in their piece as evidence that the woman we interviewed was lying. Were not mentioning the affidavit. It has nothing to with the story we did. In fact, its not at all clear that the woman he they are talking about is the same woman we interviewed. I read the post piece. I dont see anything. She said she talked about in our interview. I was there for our interview. She didnt 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 dont 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 dont 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 senators 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 wasnt. Much larger piece about this senators 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, its not. Thats straightforward, traditional journalism. Thats what we did. Is it possible though that this story was manufactured by people who dont 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 dont 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 didnt. Bill all right. Im a little queazy with the prostitution angle on this. I think the fbis investigation of the donor helped menendez has to go forward. Thats the bigger, bigger story. And. Okay. Tucker. Directly ahead the harvard newspaper says im a bad alumnus. Could that possibly be true . Speak with the editor.
