On The Factor tonight, O’Reilly will debate me about rising oil prices. Bill sees a conspiracy (though he denies that it's a "conspiracy theory.") He once said: “the oil companies are rigged. The markets are rigged. With supply and demand having little to do with what we pay at the gas pump.”

Nonsense. The markets aren’t even rigged by OPEC. OPEC produces 40% of the world’s crude oil, according to the Energy Information Administration. 40% hardly gives them monopoly power... continue reading »

In big government America today, it’s rich people who freeload the most. Corporations do it.  And rich individuals do it.  People like me... continue reading »

No group has been more "helped" by the American government than American Indians. Yet no group in America does worse.

Almost a quarter of Native Americans live in poverty. 66 percent are born to single mothers. They have short life spans. Indian activists say the solution is -surprise- more money from the government. But Washington already spends about $13 billion on programs for Indians every year... continue reading »

Want to get a check from the government for $50,000? If you’re black and willing to say you once “attempted to farm,” the money could be yours. Why? In the 80’s and 90’s, some Black farmers were allegedly discriminated against by the Agriculture Department... continue reading »

Some Americans actually make a living … begging for money. Professional panhandlers, they’re called, sometimes making more than $100 in a day. I tried it in Manhattan, and made over $11 in one hour—that would be $23,000 a year—tax free! It’s a small example of why some said that  the USA is turning into a nation of freeloaders... continue reading »

Tonight Bill O’Reilly wants me to talk about today's NY Times front page story claiming "Majority in Poll Back Employees in Public Sector Unions." Most people back the unions?  I'm not surprised Americans support collective bargaining “rights.” Unless you have really been paying attention, you don't understand what works in the private sector doesn't work in government, where unions bargain with politicians whom they helped elect.  People don't know that federal workers can't bargain collectively,... continue reading »

The battle has gotten louder.  Some Republican Governors have finally said “no” to government workers’ unions.  The unions protest, saying the governors have waged war against American “labor.” But unions don’t really represent American labor... continue reading »

Why doesn’t Bill get it?  On tonight’s show, he’s going to rant about federal spending.  He wants cuts.  Good. But then he wants to have me on so he can tell me why Ron Paul is wrong, and odd, and shouldn’t be running for President -- and Donald Trump is right. I don’t know where to begin. We hold elections because we don't know who's going to win. Ron Paul might win. Who thought Jimmy Carter could win? Or Barack Obama?  A black, ultra-liberal, freshman Senator?  Or Abe Lincoln?  Lincoln was a dark horse... continue reading »

That’s what Bill O’Reilly wants to talk about tonight.  His producer e-mailed me these questions:

1.  Should it be legalized?

2.  Should there be more casinos?

3.  Is it a legit way for the government to raise more tax revenue?

Maybe Bill plans to ask President Obama about it when he interviews him at the Super bowl game. My answers:

1.  Yes... continue reading »

In my "Politicians' Promises Gone Wrong" special I criticize the minimum wage. That upset some people. One viewer wrote: Clint: John are you serious about the Minimum wage? ... think about all those working poor. If there is no Min Wage then what should be the Limits? ... So sad to see you selling out since your former 20/20 days. That the minimum wage helps the working poor is a popular policy. Congress recently increased the national minimum from $5.15 an hour to $7.25... continue reading »
