horn on your head, you go through a candyland device. boom. >> bill: is colorado hallucinating? jesse watters attends the mushroom fest in the rocky mountains. >> it's like-minded people looking for mushrooms. >> bill: 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 biggest failure of the obama administration that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. in order for more than 300 million americans to have a chance at prosperity, you need a vibrant economy. at this point the usa does not have one. that is now on president obama. as you may know, the president's economic vision is focused on so-called economic justice, giving help to americans who don't have very much, providing vast entitlements means big spending and taxation. the president doesn't seem to trust the capitalist civic, instituting new regulations in the marketplace, inhibiting business expansion. the social justice economic plan is failing. the u.s. economy is stagnant, thus quality of life is going down in this country. here are the facts to back that statement up. 7 out of 8 jobs created during the obama administration have been part time jobs. 54% of american workers make less than $30,000 a year. when mr. obama took office, he averaged unemployment paid to an individual was 20 weeks. now it's 37 weeks. number of americans who have stopped looking for work now more than 8 million, the highest number in any four-year period. when mr. obama took office, the trade deficit with china was $268 billion last year. it had risen to $315 billion. the u.s. poverty rate stands at 16%, that number is higher -- higher -- than when the war on poverty began in 1965. americans receiving food stamps in the president's first term increased by 11,000 every single day. when mr. obama took office, the average price for gas, $1.85 a gallon. now $3.53 a gallon. finally health insurance premiums in the usa have increased 29% since the president took office. so by nearly every measure, working americans are not good shape economically. the democrats put the blame on income inequality, and want more federal intrusion into the economy. republicans want the exact opposite, gop believing helping private business expand is the key to a more competitive marketplace. talking points well understands that wages rise when workers are in demand. today in america, competition for jobs is driving down wages because there are not enough jobs. only business expansion will turn the dire situation around. why president obama doesn't seem to understand that, i simply don't know. and that's a memo. now for the top story tonight, opposing point of view with us, dr. david callahan, senior fellow at a progress organization. first of all, do you believe in capitalism, doctor? >> i absolutely do, bill. if i were a ceo, hedge fund guy, i believe in capitalism even more, because that system has been working great for those people. corporate profits are near record highs. the stock market, we're having this bull bull market, stock market is onear a record high. >> bill: no doubt about it. >> people at the top are doing great. their incomes have gone up. the problem, it's the people in the middle, people at the bottom who aren't doing owe well. mcdonald's is a great well. their stock has doubled since president obama took office, but have the wages for mcdonald's workers gone up? no, they haven't. >> bill: okay, that's because mcdonald's can get people to work there and they don't have to pay them more money. i used to own a painting business in college. i needed five guys to work for me in the summer. if i had nine guys, i could pay the five guys less. if i didn't, i had to pay them more. it's as simple as that. so job expansion drives wages up. >> and what drives job expansion is economic demand. how do you get economic demand? you put more money in the pockets of working people so they have more money to spend. the mcdonald's workers don't have extra walking around money, and aren't able to buy goods and services. >> bill: here's your mistake, the mistake you that and your socialist friends make. you can't put money in anybody's pocket. we don't have enough money to do that. you don't put money anywhere. wealth is created by private business. when private business expands, it needs more work. all right? now, one of the reasons that president obama and to some extent president bush ran into a buzz saw is because of high tech. high-tech means a lot of these companies don't need as many employees. all right? so their profits are going rise because machines do the work that human beings used to do. that's just reality. >> yeah, but, bill, it's not just prosperity. it's shared prosperity. >> bill: no, no. you want it to be shared prosperity, because that's your philosophy. >> all boats rose together, not just the yachts. >> bill: the government had nothing to do with it. >> labor unions were the key back then. we don't have them now. that's a big problem. >> bill: we have plenty of labor unions, just that americans are opting out because they're so corrupt, many of them. they don't want to be in them. i'm in a union, i kind of like my union, but a lot of unions are corrupt. look, what president obama doesn't understand is that his social justice philosophy isn't working. it's not a bad philosophy. >> it's not just a social justice philosophy. read his speeches. he wants to invest in education. he wants to -- >> bill: you don't have any money left. there's no more money! >> one of the heartbreaking things about this economy, there's all these skilled jobs not being filled. shortage of nurses, shortage of i.t. people. factory jobs. >> bill: because it takes discipline to go and get those jobs and education. >> skill and education. >> bill: here's another thing that torques me off. >> we're not investing. >> bill: the republicans don't want the federal government controlling it, putting a massive amount -- you want more education spending, correct? is that what you want, more education spending? >> that was one of the drivers in the '50s and '60s. >> bill: you, dr. callahan, want more education spending when we have the highest per capita spending on earth! it's not that we don't have enough money in the schools. it's that families have fallen apart and there isn't any drive on a lot of the people's parts, the kids' parts, who are in these troubled families, to learn anything. more money is not going to solve that. >> you know, so much of that education spending goes to the people at the top. higher education great example. so the colleges spend a lot of money. they have these private universities that are -- that are so cushy, but a lot of those community colleges that teach skills that people need to know, nurses, to work in factories, those places are underfunded. obama wants to put more money in there and -- >> bill: he doesn't have any money. if he was a baseball manager or football coach, he'd be fired. this is five years and the economy has not improved at all. >> and 1929, the economic crash, how long did that take? it took 11 years. the only thing that got us out, the mother of all stimulus packages, world war ii. five years after the last crash, and you expect obama to work miracles. >> bill: i expect him to become a free marketer, because his socialist big government stuff doesn't work. >> come on. the federal government is smaller than it was under bush and -- >> bill: doesn't make difference. they're spending a lot of money. it's not helping the economy. he needs to go the reagan way in the '80s, you're a historian, you know what happened there, and he needs to try that. doctor, very stimulating. thanks for coming in. >> good to be here. >> bill: one of the teenagers accused of killing a young australian posted racism stuff in cyberspace. we'll analyze that with geraldo.

what's in your wallet? >> bill: tonight as we reported last night, three oklahoma teenagers charged with murdering a 22-year-old australian man. chris lane was playing baseball for east central university when he was shot dead while jogging for absolutely no reason. teenagers have all been in trouble before, and were well known in the community. >> these kids can be good kids. they are good kids. they just don't have any male figures in their live, no men. you can't give kids that kind of liberty to go do what they want to do, with no restraints whatsoever, do what you want, when you want, how you want. >> bill: one of the teenagers, 15-year-old james edwards tweeted, "90% of white people are nasty #hatethem." geraldo riviera joins us. i've discussed this with you before, that the collapse of the family is leading to horror all over this country. each one thieves kids have dysfunctional families, it's a chaotic situation, and they act out by killing this poor 22-year-old guy. >> i agree. the family is at the heart of the e of it, the dysfunctional family, or nonexistent or absentee parent, there's no doubt about it. >> bill: absolutely. >> the tweet you aired there, the racial background, the racist background of the 15-year-old james edwards, i think really let's examine it for a second. this is the one, the wannabe crip, is the 15-year-old, already in plenty of trouble, this is the kid running wild, a wolf along with these others, running through their housing, their public housing. you know, we have to examine it. was his motivation in shooting this guy in the back a racial motivation? you know, it's hard to establish that. >> bill: i don't even think it's important. i mean, this kid's mother -- i don't think this is a racial crime. i think this is a crime of three teenagers simply out of control. this kid edwards, his mother is in jail. his father yesterday was saying, the kid doesn't know did wrong. you don't know he did wrong? i mean, look, this comes down to -- and it spans all colors. white, black, whatever. it comes down to this society will condemn what is going on here. that is a deemphasis on a traditional family, making excuse after excuse after excuse, and failing to grapple with the problem. >> that is the deep seated problem. >> bill: that's what it's all about. >> to me, let's back up and talk about the banality of the motive. did these children, 15, 16 years old, why did they commit this horrifying crime, shoot a total stranger in the back? >> bill: they have no impulse control. >> there's value, there's a lack of values. >> bill: sure. they don't care. >> they don't cherish human life, don't have the same, you know, feeling about nurturing and becoming somebody, becoming something. >> bill: this is the subculture we're creating it in this country and won't admit. throw this kid, michael jones, 17 years old. throw him up there. this is the white kid. throw him up there. he in his court appearance brings along his 15-year-old pregnant girlfriend. okay? this is the subculture we are creating. it cuts across race. it cuts -- he's white. okay? they don't care what they do. they don't care. they feel there are no consequences to what they do. so therefore one kid saying they were hockey smoking marijuana before they killed this australian. i believe that's probably true. they're probably high as kites. >> recreate the probable conversation among the three to really understand what i'm saying about how banal this is. hey, what are you going to do today? let's shoot an animal. okay, they shoot a dog. now what are we going to do? let's shoot a person. okay. who are we going to shoot? let's shoot the third person that jogs by. >> bill: this is hypothetical? >> this is hypothetical, but what else could it have been? >> bill: they did kill the animal. >> that defines what we're talking about today. this is not what am i going do tomorrow, do when i grow up? they're talking about thrillseeking now. >> bill: let's cut through it now. you and i are different in a lot of ways, but we have to tell america what's happening in our forums. we have a subculture in this country, and all colors are involved, children, all right, from terrible families, derelict parents, who don't care anymore. they're not going to be able to work. they're not going to be able to be in the american marketplace. they don't care. they're covered with tattoos. they're taking drugs. they're playing video games all day long. and no one in the media is calling it what it is. last word. >> the time you get people to pay attention is when you point out, black kids white victim. let's move away from that and recognize that this dysfunction, this shattered family, crosses all racial boundaries. >> bill: that's correct, creating this violent, barbaric subculture we have in this country because none of the people in power, they're too cowardly, the politicians to deal with it, including president obama. >> i absolutely agree. >> bill: we got to go. vote on in our poll. we talked to actor levar burton a couple weeks ago. was i condescending to him as he claims? yes or no. the results on monday. directly ahead, poison gas. president obama says if the syrians use it, he'll punish them. now there's another allegation. we'll take a look at it. and should americans boycott "the butler" because jane fonda is playing nancy reagan?

>> i wouldn't have the u.s. invade militarily. that's not going to happen. >> bill: there's a difference between invasion and intervene. there's been a discussion at the united nations, and china and russia won't cooperate at any level. the united nations won't convene a tribunal, do a thing, because of china and russia. the united states has a decision to make. do we go in, provide air cover, all of that, degrade the assad regime, or not?

>> i'll ask you, is it a false flag operation? what would you do? >> bill: n but if they are using gas i would definitely use airpower there. okay, nsa. i think most americans don't like the intrusion. you want to do away with the nsa. that's what dennis kucinich wants to abolish, the agency. >> absolutely. >> bill: what would you put in its place to monitor communications by terrorists all over the world? >> i'd mick sure that all the existing intelligence agencies were abiding by the law. >> bill: okay, okay. >> the nsa has become a rogue agency. >> bill: i don't have time. only have a minute. say we abolish the nsa. not going to happen, but say obama does it. what would you put in its place? >> we have existing intelligence agencies who could handle this. let's face it, most of this work is being done by internet providers. 91% of the internet traffic goes through this program. >> bill: you'd let the cia and fbi handle all this stuff? >> bill, you said yourself it prism should be abolished. i'm saying we need control over the nsa. they're a rogue agency, lied to congress, lied to the administration. >> bill: i don't disagree with that. i think they have to be accountable for what they do. i don't disagree, but i think before you abolish a big agency like that, which has an infrastructure that has been effective in protecting us, you got to have something to put in there, right now we don't. so what i would do would be say, okay, we're going to start to hold you people accountable. if you do something, i would arrest them. i would go in and arrest them. >> you know what, you and i agree on that. >> bill: yeah, i would. so they have to follow what the patriotic act says to the letter. congressman, thank you. plenty more ahead as "the factor" moves along this evening. how crazy is colorado?

>> right. authorities will make sure you're living at that address. >> bill: if you're a rapist, they know where you live. >> right. >> bill: if you move, you have to tell them immediately. >> right. they come and verify it. >> bill: these slugs who are drug addicts, alcoholic thans, live on the streets of denver, pueblo, they don't have a residence. colorado authorities say, you check in whenever you want?

>> right. then the punishment, first time you don't check in, 30 days. second time, 30 days. >> bill: this is where it falls apart. >> it fell apart before that. these individuals, the united states supreme court recognizes the dangerously mentally sexual predators, these people can be confined even after they serve their jail time. >> bill: colorado won't do it. >> you wdero wot do it. >> you wonder what they're smoking. >> bill: i don't wonder. you saw the attitude out there. we don't need it. we're colorado. you don't tell us what to do. it's a libertine society, a lot of restorative justice, where the guy is the victim, not the kid. a lot of that crap. >> that's a bunch of hogwash. these guys are devious, and their mission is to molest another child. >> bill: the law is foolish because it gives people 30 days if they violate it. only way theyy catch them, is if they commit another crime. judge, thank you as always. when we come back, a jane fonda/nancy reagan controversy. the report moments away. n minut could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. yep, everybody knows that. well, did you know some owls aren't that wise?
