Guest: Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)
"The polling is grim as the President continues to get hammered over Obamacare and a perceived lack of leadership. A Washington Post/ABC News poll says 55% of people disapprove of the way President Obama is handling his job, and 71% want to delay the Affordable Care Act. That's devastating to President Obama's effectiveness going forward. Talking Points does not say that with any joy; it's sad to see the nation in this kind of situation. There is blood in the political water, and when that happens all kinds of things emerge. For example, the New York Post is reporting that the Census Bureau may have fabricated unemployment numbers just before the presidential election last year. If it's proved that unemployment numbers were manipulated, there will be hell to pay, although tonight there are reports debunking the story. There is more chaos on the horizon and every American will feel it. We are a country that depends on a robust economy but we don't have it. The President vowed to make national health insurance mandates work, but so far the law is a disaster. Again, when a president becomes weakened, people take advantage, both within the country and abroad."
The Factor reported that a little-known part of the Obamacare law calls for the federal government to reimburse private health insurance companies if they are not making sufficient profits. Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who has authored a bill banning that reimbursement, entered the No Spin Zone. "The idea that the federal government should be bailing out insurance companies in order to make Obamacare work," Rubio said, "is not something a lot of people are aware of. That alone is testament to why this entire law needs to be repealed, and the sooner the better. This law can not be saved and the question is how long it will take for Democrats to realize that." The Factor theorized that the White House is in near panic mode over Obamacare: "The administration will do anything it can to keep this thing floating, and now we see that federal dollars could be handed to private insurance companies. The administration doesn't care how much debt it runs up." |

Guest: Bernie Goldberg
Some young black teens are engaging in a vicious "game" that involves punching random strangers, trying to knock them out with one blow. It has already led to some deaths across America, but the national media has been conspicuously silent. The Factor asked Bernie Goldberg about the lack of coverage. "This is savagery," Goldberg began, "and it is getting very little attention - nothing that we could find in the New York Times, the Washington Post, or the network evening newscasts. But let's imagine that we saw young white kids attacking black people and posting the videos on the Internet. That would obviously be a national news story because it's orchestrated racial violence. But the white liberals in the media at places that aren't covering this are saying, 'We don't want to give any ammunition to those white racist conservatives out there, so let's make believe this isn't happening.' How despicable, how disgraceful!" The Factor added, "This is a troubling situation and it goes back to the alienation of young black men in this country, primarily because they're angry at not having a family and having a father who abandoned them." |

Guest: John Stossel
'Tis the season to be charitable, so The Factor asked Fox Business host John Stossel for some advice. "All the people who work with the homeless," Stossel reported, "say we should not give them money. They are almost all scams and you're just helping a guy with a drug or an alcohol problem buy more intoxicants. There are groups such as Charity Navigator that vet charities, and I give to groups that I can personally keep an eye on." The Factor advised viewers to give to local organizations whenever possible: "Studies show that we are a very charitable people, and that the bottom earners give proportionately more than the top earners. I want people in their home towns to donate locally rather than through these big funds." |

Guests: Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lisa Giovinazzo
Legal analysts Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lisa Giovinazzo examined the case against George Zimmerman, who has been arrested in Florida for allegedly pointing a shotgun at his girlfriend. "It's a bad situation for him," Guilfoyle reported, "he's facing domestic violence and aggravated assault charges. He is also alleged to have choked this same woman three weeks ago." Giovinazzo turned to Buffalo, where a presumably drunken fan fell 40 feet and landed on another spectator. "In sporting events there is a certain risk," she said, "but a fan falling on top of you is not foreseeable. I think the team and stadium most certainly have some liability." Guilfoyle urged NFL teams to "not let people in who are loaded." |

Guests: Monica Crowley and Alan Colmes
President Obama's approval ratings are dropping fast and even many Democrats are growing disenchanted with Obamacare. The Factor asked Monica Crowley and Alan Colmes to weigh in. "We're talking about only 3% to 5% of the population being affected," Colmes insisted, "and we're not talking about the 80% of people who keep exactly what they have or the people who get better deals. President Obama will be seen through the lens of history as a hero for getting health care for the American people." Crowley implied that the Obama team may actually welcome the website failure. "The ultimate objective of all of this is to get us to single-payer, so what you're seeing might actually be a controlled explosion. They're all on the record saying single-payer is the ultimate objective." The Factor concluded, "The President and his staff have lost total control of the narrative." |

Ray Hathaway, Mohave Valley, AZ: "Bill, you are totally wrong that the hatred for President Obama has nothing to do with race. As a white American, I hear code words all the time about his skin color."
Marg Adams, New Orleans, LA: "If conservatives dislike Obama because of his race, why do we support Herman Cain and Dr. Ben Carson?"
Jane Hite, Tallahassee, FL: "Bill, please stop the madness with George Zimmerman. He obviously has problems and we are sick of the media's obsession with him. Don't you have better things to report on, Bill?" |
