tv   The O Reilly Factor  FOX News  February 10, 2014 5:00pm-6:01pm PST

5:00 pm
answer a full question there about the texas tech fan. good night from washington. see you 7:00 p.m. tomorrow night. >> the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> i know you are a woman of your word and i'm asking you if you are going to be honoring your commitment. >> make commitment we are having a social conversation. >> nancy pelosi told me face to face she would come on the factor. now she is reneging. but why? >> we have a special report tonight. >> up a month and a half working the way it was supposed to and signed up 3 million people. >> the president believes the obamacare web site is fixed. is that true? we will have a factor investigation. >> as he goes to get up, he turns and pushes. >> awful incident in texas a college basketball player pushes a a fan. we will tell you what triggered that action. >> easy call. that's disgusting behavior.
5:01 pm
>> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone, the factor begins, right now. >> ♪ holding politicians accountable. that the subject of this evening's talking points memo. as mentioned last week i had a very nice talk with nancy pelosi and her husband at the white house in december. i had never met the congresswoman before. she was charming. as part of the conversation, i gently asked whether she would be willing to talk with me on camera, she said absolutely yes. and invited me to do the interview in her office. that took place in front of a number of witnesses. but now, mrs. pelosi is reneging. >> i know you're a woman of your word and i'm asking you if you are going to be honoring your commitment -- >> -- i didn't make any commitment to him. we were having a social conversation. in fact, it was at the white
5:02 pm
house. first time i ever saw him because i never see him on tv. [ laughter ] >> your husband was there next to you when you said you would do the show. >> this is open-ended. one of these days maybe i will. i was not pleased with the disrespect he showed to the president. so that wasn't like a warmer upper. >> what was disrespectful? >> it speaks for itself. >> talking points agrees with nancy pelosi, the interview does speak for itself. now, i asked mr. obama the questions that i believe are important to the country. i did so in a respectful way and he answered the way he wanted to. that's what an interview is supposed to be. unlike nancy pelosi, president obama honored his word to me. as i have stated, he did not have to do the interview. but he was man enough to do it. now, it's troubling that the questions i asked were not asked before. i mean, what the heck is the national press doing? one of the reasons pertinent questions about the irs, benghazi and obamacare were not asked is that many in the media are protecting
5:03 pm
president obama. fox news anchor geraldo rivera it was actually ofnedded by the interview. >> the offense was profound and to watch it was in some ways unsettling to me because i think -- i don't want to play race here. is he the president, the fact that he is the first black president, to me the way i have been brought up in the civil rights movement, you really want to make sure that you accord him all of the respect and dignity george w. bush. >> here is where you are desperately wrong. it's not my job to it be a social scientist or to please you geraldo rivera. >> in just a few moments. my discussion with geraldo. the truth is there is enormous pressure from supporters of the president not to put him on the spot. two white house correspondence fnc henry and jonathan karl are exceptions to the rule. they do ask hard questions.
5:04 pm
the president seemed to be fine with the interview and posed a picture afterward in front of the american flag. but i do know that some of his advisors were not pleased. one of them sarcastically saying why didn't o'reilly ask him about his birth certificate? that's the mentality some have that he is not to be challenged. that's not the mentality here. brit hume covered the white house for many years, interviewed a lot of presidents. so, hume, i submit to you this is the most docile national press corps we have ever had in this country with the possible exception of the jfk folks. am i wrong?
5:05 pm
how different the at no, sir fear was in the briefing room at the white house and the chomp prable places on capitol hill. most' much more adversarial at the white house much more aggressive. this was still the hangover atmosphere from the watergate era when the white house press corps photo it had been badly embarrassed by the fact that it failed to pick up on that story early enough and ask hard enough questions and to dig the story out and it fell to these two young reporters at "the washington post" to do the heavy lifting on that story. and that atmosphere persisted for quite some time. it has certainly faded now. >> when you took over, bush the elder was coming. in off reagan. and we all remember sam doneson, and dan rather. rather gave bush the elder a real hard time, you know,
5:06 pm
about the questions and all of this. that now, it would be unthinkable, because i don't see my interview and correct me if i am wrong, you saw it, being anywhere near what donaldson and rather did to the republican presidents. was it close to that? >> well, you were facing you remember the problem i was facing myself when i interviewed presidents that i covered and that was the interruption problem. if you sit down to do an interview in a restricted time period with the president of united states, you were obliged because it's the properto be respectfule office and of the person. and if you are doing a very short interview and you have some issues you want to get addressed and the president tends to filibuster on you and all of them try to do that to some extent. this president is particularly adept at it, you are in a terrible position. the only way to get him off the talking points and get to the next question is to interrupt. interrupt something some none of us like to do because it's ips so he --
5:07 pm
inso facto road. be gentlemanly about this it and try to do my duty as a journalist and either pin him down for some answers or to get on to other questions and i think, you know, it's a terrible dilemma. and my view of that is you kept the tone civil, the questions were relevant, they were appropriate whether other journalists liked them or not and you had the -- you answered the rudeness dilemma by doing what you had to too which was to interrupt. >> yeah, but i didn't interrupt in a disrespectful way. i interrupted in a factual way. what about pelosi saying that i was disrespectful in using that as an excuse for not doing the interview? >> well, you know, she -- that's what it is, bill. it's just an excuse. she doesn't want you to interview her. >> have you ever interviewed her. >> she is not adept at interviews. >> you have interviewed her. >> yes, i have. i interviewed her in her office right after she became speaker. this has been back in early 2007. and i remember asking her, i
5:08 pm
said, with regard to the iraq war do you think it's more important to end it or win it she answered the question by saying that there is nothing really to win. in other words, she said it was important to end it. that was only thing particularly news worthy out of the interview. the rest of it was not memorable. that was all i got. i was in the same quandary you were. in do you keep pressing? do you try to knock them off the talking points? you are talking to the newly enshrined speaker of the house, you have some of the same problem you have with the president. people are -- at that moment that person is in a position of certain kind of supremacy, very important to the country, figure head of a kind as well as someone who is political officer. and here you are mere journalist. people don't like, they favor the politician oh listen, it is used as an excuse for a tough interview. i'm trying to think back
5:09 pm
bill, if you asp partisan -- excuse my interruption -- if you were a partisan of this president would you have enjoyed that interview and thought it was respectful? i don't think so. a lot of this where you stand on this is depends where you sit. if you sit on his side your persistent questioning of him or interruptions to try to move on or cut them down is going to come across as disrespectful. >> he spoke 6 a% of the time and there was a lot to talk about, but, look, the bottom line, i hate to use that cliche on this is as you know we are old school hume and i. i think pelosi mistook me for you. that's not hume, it's o'reilly, they both wear blaze ires, okay? oh my god, i thought it was hume i think that's what happened, we are old school guys, i'm not just business
5:10 pm
pr i would work for general electric. i'm sure ml would hire me in a flash i'm in this for information. i got plenty of information. >> i would say, this bill. if you had done the interview some other way, perhaps in a more courtly and restrained way, you wouldn't have been bill o'reilly. >> that's true. but i don't want to really be me a lot sometimes i do. i do the best i could. i did my job. brit, thanks. enjoy florida. here are the results of our bill o'reilly.com poll. we asked to you grade my interview with president obama. 35,000 of you weighed in. 44% gave the interview an a. 33% b. 13% c. 5% d and a% flunked me. how dare you. again, i did my job. next on the rundown, the president believes obamacare is effectively being implemented take a hard look at that. later as mentioned bernie goldberg on accusations that i was disrespectful to

nothing works faster. new fast acting advil. look for it in the white box. in the impact segment tonight, the one of the things about the presidential interview mr. obama believes the web site is in pretty good shape. >> i don't think anybody be anticipated the degree of problems that you had on healthcare.gov. the god news is that right away we decided how are we going to fix it? it got fixed within a month and a half. it was up and running and now it's working the way it's supposed to and we have signed up 3 million people. >> but there are dessenders. mr. lawyer used to be an oven thiews as stick supporter of obama ircan a. is he now troubled by some of it. he joins us from new york city. you are involved with some of this. i understand you met with secretary sebelius. >> yes. >> you had some correspondence with president obama. >> not personally.
5:15 pm
i this bill legislation. i felt strongly about it i happen to be a cancer survivor. i'm a beneficiary of this legislation but i have really just broken with this when i heard the president say that it's fixed frankly it's not fixed. >> you saw the interview. >> i saw the interview, yeah. when you saw it and go you said it's not fixed? is that what you say? >> well, i'm right in the middle of it we see a lot of this. we are a private company, we are publicly traded we are just a big exchange long before the words health insurance and exchange were in the same sentence we had been doing. this we are like the amazon.com of health insurance. we have been trying to help for a long time i had been arguing people for years let us as a private sector help. still you have ideology and ideologues is for government to work. yes the government exchange healthcare.gov is probably working somewhat better although we are working close to it. it has got a lot of issues. also got 14 states that have built exchanges.
5:16 pm
there someone that works ago. -- okay. others are just a mess when you went to sebelius that is overall in charge of the rollout. did you flag her to some of the problems? did you say, look, madam secretary, this could happen? >> well, what i said for a long time is that ecommerce is a science. it's not an easy thing to do. try to be like amazon.com or ebay or ehealth is not a pretty picture. and so you have got government people trying to do the same thing trying to build the next. you told her that? >> i told that to a lot of people. >> did you tell sebelius that? >> i didn't tell her that specifically, what i said was let someone like us what you said to her i want to help and you have the bonafides all right because you are running and you do this.
5:17 pm
she said what? >> she said this makes sense. we will find some ways to work with you. they actually released a regulation to let us start to work to help subsidy elderly individuals get enrolled. we are still at the point to have that being work through healthcare dot goff because of a lot of technical issues. 14 states have resisted all of this. >> they didn't really embrace it it they said they would but they didn't really do. then you wrote in october i understand a letter to president obama. >> i did. >> what did that letter say. >> very simply when they were having all the problems i said let us take it over. >> they are not going to let you take over to. >> let us make this work. i wanted to bring attention to this bill. that was the idea to get some attention. >> you believe that your private company can make the thing work in the long run? >> i know that we can. but, they are not going to do that here is what we need though is i think a marriage world fixed. it's not fixed take a look at the enrollment numbers right now.
5:18 pm
3 million people enrolled through the middle of december, something like 23, 24% of them young people between 83 and 84 years of age. that's not going to work. that's not representative of the age distribution of the age population. they will exchange the private sector somewhat. risk of failure is much higher going it alone as a government entity than bringing in some of the really best of the private sector. >> you want it to work, that's the bottom line, all right, mr. lauer, we appreciate it thank you for coming. in directly ahead, juan and mary mary katharine will react that that situation. waters trying to find out if we can nancy pelosi do an interview with me. those reports after these messages.

5:22 pm
tipping with contact segment. juan williams and mary katharine ham. juan, big proponent of obamacare before it was passed into law. he says it's screwed up and you say? >> i think this is a very self-serving protection on his part. this has been going on for while. as he told you, it's been since last october and even before that he has been telling the government, telling secretary sebelius, president obama, he can do it better than anybody else. they should leave it up to him. you know, at this point, he has become a pawn for g.o.p. spin is he a cancer survivor. he thinks that obamacare which does away with preexisting condition sanctions, you know, i didn't believe that at all. are ooffer services, kind of perplexed that the federal government obviously in trouble with this thing isn't at least consulting with him.
5:23 pm
you say mary katharine? >> he said some of this is bringing attention to the business and that's frankly in my book fine. that this is an exchange that works. pointing that out, i don't think, is a foul on his part. win when the federal government has messed up their part in this so badly. here's the deal. we need to have the government trying to reinvent the wheel like this. too too familiar hiewb rugs to help people. >> i don't understand that that's what i don't understand. opposite broken or opposite of the promises. >> doesn't seem to be any you are sen genesee juan, hes at the me he thinks it's fixed and is he going ahead. i haven't heard one computer expert or healthcare expert say it's fixed maybe there are some. i don't know. fixed or getting better you know what i'm talking about?
5:24 pm
>> >> look i think they had a bad start, a terrible start. >> we knew that juan is, it fixed or not? >>. so now i think what you see this month, march, happened with romney care in massachusetts. these are good signs. cbo came out last week in that very controversial report about the impact on the labor market, they also said hey, this thing is going to cost less, drive down the deficit. this is pretty good news. >> look, the bad start created a bad pool which is a problem that's ongoing and prices problematic. you got that issue. >> i don't think it's fixed. the point is yes, it's not fixed and they are still dealing with a backlog from this crappy site giving you a bunch of results they process. >> associated press poll and i cited it to the president is 8% who have actually used the web site think it's running very well. fact. >> remember this though, bill. "wall street journal" poll
5:25 pm
at this point it's still unpopular with most americans. guess what almost two thirds of americans, including republicans say at this point start stop the complaining and whining and fix this. >> hold on, people are. >> fix it and embrace it. >> people are whining because it is not fixed. >> let me get to my last point. >> okay, okay. >> this is week two after the super bowl interview. we are still citing things that president obama said, all right? and they are important things. he talked about obamacare. it's important the president believes it's fixed. gary lauer says it's not fixed. all right? the public are wondering what the deuce is going on. we come back to the fact that nancy pelosi and geraldo and others are saying oh that terrible o'reilly, is he such a mean guy, i'm saying to myself,
5:26 pm
you ghee? we are still debating these questions. and we are getting somewhere. i know congress is going to be looking to do some things to try to, you know, fix the problems of this country. based on what the president said, juan. you know what i'm talking about? >> that the congress is going to react to what the president said to you? no, i don't know what you are talking about. it seems to me what you did is you went over all. >> already in committees, the president's words are being quoted two people testifying. >> well, lack, anything he says, for example, when he says you know, there wasn't a bit of evidence, i think he said not a. >> not bit. >> smidgen. >> in terms of benghazi. that's what he said. then people said wow how do they know that because there are ongoing investigations. >> that was the irs. that wasn't benghazi. >> all right the irs or whatever. >> let's give mary katharine the last word. go ahead. >> in order to be a fair interview you guys would have tossed the football a couple of times in obama's book and that would have
5:27 pm
been the end of the story. he doesn't want to talk about how obamacare is breaking all the promises disincentivizing work. raising premiums. he doesn't want to talk about that stuff. you were unfair or disrespectful. that's the bottom line. you can't too a fair interview with him according to him. >> all right. mary katharine and juan, thank you. plenty more as the factor moves along this evening. nasty incident in texas. involving a college basketball player and a fan. we will get to the bottom of it then goldberg on geraldo's claim that i was kind of disrespectful to the president. we hope you stay tuned to those reports. lenty of water, but still not getting relief? try dulcolax laxative tablets. dulcolax is comfort-coated for gentle, over-night relief. dulcolax. predictable over-night relief you can count on. hi boys! i've made you campbell's chunky new england clam chowder. wow! this is incredible! i know. and now it has more clams!

personal story segment tonight. nasty incident involving a basketball player and a fan texas state university on saturday night this happened. >> the other way. he is fouled on the way up. >> marcus went into the crowd. he had some sort of issue with someone behind the basket and you see it here, crash at the rim on the foul. marcus smart runs into the foul, falls in, as he goes to get up, he turns. and pushes -- an elbow, an easy call. that's disgusting behavior. >> subsequently the bhaivel player marcus smart apologized and so did the fan jeffor. joining us from the pittsburgh news and sports
5:32 pm
for american urban radio network and from oklahoma city former nba player also played for oklahoma state. i will begin with you, mr. mason. the initial reporting and i guess this came from mr. marcus ised that the fan used a racial slur. is there any evidence of that? >> obviously the school and decided not to comment on that. that's when the issue came out. that's what he is addressed. >> you know marcus smart, you know him, right? thuggish behavior or anything like that. >> yeah. >> you know, it's a pretty -- it's a pretty serious thing to level an accusation that a fan hit him had with a racial slur. that's pretty serious. should we take it seriously?
5:33 pm
>> i think we should take it seriously. this is something that has been going on not just in basketball but now in football. european soccer. and so pertain to this situation for a guy that has been labeled as great character guy. team leader to all of a sudden turn and decide he is going to attack a fan from a simple word as to what i heard was from what jeffor said that he said a piece of crap. that's a little bit of out of character for marcus. what do say, mr. miller? we don't have any evidence now that a racial slur was used. i want to be very clear about that there isn't any evidence, no tape, no witnesses have come forward to say that mr. mason makes a good point that that overreaction, if you said you are a piece of garbage or something, maybe would, i don't know, i think it was a situation where it may have been after overreaction by marcus smart, a lot of things were said there were
5:34 pm
a the love of people. he saw that fan who has history of being irate fan. he just reacted like any player would likely react in a heated situation. a situation where he heard something and directed his anger toward the wrong person. i don't think there was anything racially motivated by it. he may have heard something. >> it depends on what he heard. i just watched 42, the jackie robinson movie on hbo over the weekend. depend on what he heard. you can understand someone, i believe, if you hear a racial slur, you snap. particularly, you know, the game and all of that i can understand that. if it's just, you know, you are lousy or you are a creep or whatever. then the basketball player can't do that or am i wrong, mr. mason? >> well, i would say, in that situation i'm sure he hears that quite often. not just from other fans but student fans. i dealt with that in high school. and college. >> what are you talking about? you heard what quite often. >> you may have heard you are a piece of crap.
5:35 pm
>> you are taunting. >> that's taunting. to hear something racially and i'm not justifying anything. >> i agree absolutely in agreement with you if the guy used a racial epitaph who is a college player a kid, i don't condone the violence physically i understand it and it mitigates the action. he has been suspended for three games, mr. miller, is that fair? >> i think it's not fair considering he was not ejected from the game. for texas tech, for oklahoma state let him cool off, get his game back together, right around the corner when the season is over is the nba draft. his coach went out today and said that this is a very, very nice outcome man and very nba player. is he doing damage control. i think they will let this situation, you know, kind of subside. >> we don't want anybody,

any other repercussions. i agree with you 100% and i just hope it wasn't a race-driven thing. all right, gentlemen, we appreciate your point of view. when we come right back, bernie goldberg on respecting the president. then, watters world, is there anything, anything we can do to convince nancy pelosi to do an interview with me? watters tried to find out upcoming. peace of mind is important when you're running a successful business. so we provide it services you can rely on. with centurylink as your trusted it partner,

thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly in the weekdays with bernie segment tonight, the purveyor of goldberg.com watched my interview with geraldo on friday in which the fox news correspondent said he was disturbed by my demeanor with president obama. the interview was posted on bill o'reilly.com with geraldo. and joining us now from miami to talk about mr. goldberg. your opening statement, please. >> i had a problem with the interview too but not the one that geraldo was complaining about. i didn't hear or see a smidgen, not a smidgen of disrespect on your part. but i understand or i think i might understand why liberals in general and geraldo in particular might have seen disrespect. first of all, were there interruptions? yes, there were interruptions. so what? whatever that is, it's not disrespect. number two, geraldo said
5:41 pm
something interesting. he, and these are his exact words. you stripped him, the president of his majesty. now, i know geraldo has gone around saying that he met the majesty of the office, but that's not what i heard and i suspect that's not what a lot of people listening to us tonight heard. what we heard is geraldo saying you stripped him, barack obama, of his majesty. and as you rightly pointed out, he is not a king the other thing geraldo said was i don't want to bring race here and a second later he brings race here by reminding you that barack obama is the first african-american president. which i assume that you should show him some special kind of deference. look, in the end i heard no disrespect. what i heard and what i saw were two men having a conversation. one the most powerful man on the planet. the other barack obama. >> i know you stole that
5:42 pm
from jon stewart. >> it doesn't matter where i got it it's a funny line. i hope you will give me a tiny tiny. nancy pelosi. >> i nancy pelosi. pelosi picks up the mantra of oh i'm not going to talk to o'reilly because of what he did to president obama. now, this is, i think, cheap, very, very cheap. >> i think pelosi and geraldo are reading out of the same book here, they see this man as somebody special, not a regular, not only not a regular politician not even a regular president. he can't be interrupted. he can't be questioned the way you question him. there used to a docile pre
5:43 pm
corps slobbing affair for nothing. here comes bill o'reilly who is not slobbering but being respectful at the same time and it bothers liberals where them name is pelosi or rivera. it's a liberal thing. >> your point that you want to make? >> last week i said on this program that i thought the interview was a waste of time. i have had second thoughts. unfortunately for you, bill, exactly the same as my first thoughts. here is why i think that it has nothing to do with your questions. here is why i think that. people who watch fox understand that the president was less than candid. liberal democrats believe everything he says. let's eliminate both of them from this discussion. the problem is that tens of millions of americans who don't follow politics may not closely follow the news, so-called low information voters. they hear the president,
5:44 pm
just hear -- use one example. they hear the president say not a smidgen of corruption. do they know who lois lerner is? do they know she is in the center of the controversy? do they know she took the fifth against self-incrimination? do they know that there are ongoing investigations that are not completed? no, they don't know any of that. so, it wouldn't even occur to them, bill, it wouldn't even occur to them that maybe president obama doesn't smidgen or no smidgen or any kind of. >> let me tell you where you are going wrong? can i tell you where you are go going wrong? low information people that interview is "on the record" now. and i can guarantee you bernard goldberg.com. i know you changed your name legally to that i gainer you what he said on the record is going to be the focus of congressional hearings. this interview is taking on way more than a pop plus
5:45 pm
play. 20 seconds. >> bill, i totally agree with that totally. and that's why i say i'm not concerned with the people who follow the news my concern is that there were too many people out there on super bowl sunday who don't follow the news who are going to believe -- you have to worry about them. they vote. he seemed believable even if he wasn't. >> you can't worry about them. >> it wasn't you, it was the interview itself that troubled them. >> this will be ongoing thing. and you mark my words. bernie goldberg, everybody. >> i agree. i agree. >> watters world on deck. jesse searching for a way to convince nancy pelosi to done interview with the factor. watters moments away.

>> i would do greta. >> you have been calling your office and said you were busy in february, march, april. i know you're a woman of your word and i'm asking if you're going to be honoring your commitment. >> i didn't make any commitment to him. we had a social conversation, in fact we were at the white house, first time i ever saw him because i never see him on tv. this is open-ended, one of these days, maybe i will. >> you doubt my word? >> i was not pleased with the disrespect he showed to the president so that was not a warmer-upper. >> what was disrespectful? >> it speaks for itself. >> watters world, are you a fan of watters world? >> no. >> you know i'm watters and this is my world, senator. but you see in watters world you can alienate everybody you talk to so that would make you a great senator. >> thank you, i guess. >> all right, so you didn't --

geraldo mentioned that as a sign of disrespect. bill, the claim that you disrespected him is nonsense, what is disrespectful is members of his own party asking him not to campaign for them. and bill, you were overly casual in the interview with mr. o, you are not his equal. and bill, you are dead wrong about john boehner's stance on education reform. republicans do not want to lose on the issue in an election year. and david from new york, i am frustrated because my party doesn't put forth solutions to complicated issues. that is the key, if the gop wants to gain ground in this country it has to have a better vision than the democrats. it just can't say no. and o'reilly, you are so politically correct. you never offend anyone. it is easy to see through you. is roger mixing me up with
