out about putin, obama and power. >> i don't think obama has been tough enough with anybody. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. president obama at a crossroads. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. next sunday, march 16th, there will be a vote in crimea on whether russia should take over that part of ukraine. the fix is in. the vote will go russia's way. no doubt. even though a poll a few years ago shows just a third of crimea residents wanted to join the russian federation. but putin now has russian troops inside the crimea controlling just about everything. as talking points reported last week, the european union is too scared to do anything about it,

therefore, it's once again left to the u.s.a. to attempt to right the wrong. putin clearly violating international law. there is no legal justification for this action. so, what will president obama do? the answer is unclear. anti-obama forces are pounding the president. >> we have created an image around the world not just to the russians of weakness and indecisive, syrian situation is a classic. we have got all ready to do something. a lot of the allies sign on at the last minnow bama backed off. >> do you think you don't you think that the president is trying to do and take all the diplomatic steps that he can take now? >> i think he is but i also think he hasn't done any credibility with our allies. >> to be fair, president obama should be given some time to formulate an effective plan against putin. it's not easy. and again our allies are cowardly. as i suggested last week. the way to hurt russia is to diminish its currency, the ruble. president obama has the power to do that by imposing

banking sanctions ordering u.s. financial institutions not to accept the russian currency. think about it. who is going to want to hold rubles if the u.s.a. won't accept them? there are other options, but that's the quickest and most devastating. there is no question we are living in a himp dangerous world where president obama is being tested by bad people. syria. now the world is paying a price for that just as we predicted here. vladimir putin well knows the western hours are weak and he has little to fear from them. however, the russian economy is also weak and that is where president obama should focus his efforts. one more thing if the president sits it out and does nothing he will go down in history as a weak leader. no doubt about it that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction, joining us from texas, austin, fox news analyst karl rove, so, you remember, i know you are getting older but i know you

remember that you used to advise president bush the younger, you were one of his main advisors. and you dealt with this international chaos all the time. if you were advising barack obama right now, specifically what would you tell him to do? >> well, first of all, let's give him credit. he has taken three concrete steps that i think are important. economic aid to the ukrainian government. he sent u.s. navy vessels into the black sea and he has allowed air defense exercises with the baltic faces to go forward. all three of these send a signal that the united states is active when the strategy that show control concrete prices. missile defensive anything elses withdrew no praise to how many to to putin. check republic in poland. we ought to reenergize nato expansion. beginning they are already in place of sort of pathways to agreements with monday --

monte negro and -- we ought to reconfirm the 2008 agreement saying that there would be membership available to the ukraine. also ought to encourage our european allies to have a similar agreements with countries again pointing towards the united states and our allies in europe are going to be moving towards integration of ukraine into the west, we ought to reconstitute the g-8 without russia. it has an economy that is almost half the size of india. and we ought to re -- >> you can't do that with germany and france's approve will. he this are not going to do anything. have the president of the united states say we are going to do this and i'm going to lead it. i'm the guy our country led in the creation of the g-8 we need to reconstitute it have you hit on a very important thing. need to not just simply say we are not going to g.ing to september the ruble.

access to the banking system so the oligarchs who support putin, regime and efforts in crimea do not have a access to american barking systems and limited access. >> it's a huge tweak. it's a huge tweak if you can't -- this is what it really crippled the iranian economy not having access to the world banking system. >> i'm talking about the oligarchs. most of them have money in switzerland and offshore banks. look. the ruble is the key. >> i don't want any of those guys to be able to access american banking system. few business with those oligarchs. if you are that legislation bank, chris bank. you do business with those bad guys. you ain't doing business with the united states. >> i don't object to that. >> that's tough. >> i don't object to that and all the other stuff you say is fine. but that's not going to turn putin around. if you destroy the ruble, that will turn them around

because then the folks, then the russian people are directly affected. you saw it last week. you saw the ruble just tank as soon as this thing happened. and all the president has to do is get that little pad -- pen out. he has the pen. little executive order. >> if we put these kind of sanctions in place in a major way. it would cripple. >> that's right. >> the soviet stock market and capital in and out of the country. >> i want you to react to this sound bite that happened on your watch. roll it. >> i looked the man in the eye. i found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. we had a very good dialogue. i was able to get a sense of his soul. >> yes. yes, mr. rove? >> yeah, look. this is bush's first meeting with putin. and he was asked by the press how did you get along? he has two ways to go with this. either say it's going to be a problem or try and say

something nice? and he decided he was going to try to find the positive things to say to try to have a constructive relationship. and we did have a constructive relationship because putin knew bush was tough and would become an adam. where they really tested us was in 2008. bush is going out of office. beaten up by everybody including other republicans let alone the democrats they moved in to georgia with the goal of removing the regime. they wanted the leader out. they wanted a democratic government of georgia gone. and instead what happened is the united states moved quickly. we moved vessels to the black sea. we took the georgian troops. combat troops fighting with us in afghanistan. best of the best in the georgian army and conveyed them back to georgia. first of all you now face combat ready units. battle tested in afghanistan. second of all, the united states is unafraid of providing logistical support to those military units. and then we did a lot of

other things and what happened is, putin stopped. and he took two small slices of georgia. but he was not able to do what he wanted to do which was overthroat regime. >> okay. i have one more question for you. when president bush said that, did you believe that -- i didn't believe it i have got to tell you. i always knew putin was a thug. kgb guy doesn't change like that. did you personally believe that putin was a good guy or was going to be rational? >> bush never said a good guy. he tried to find the positive attributes. >> did you believe it? did you. >> i knew exactly what george w. bush thought of him which was that he was a k.g.b. thug whose interests were going to be at odds with the united states and we needed to manage that relationship by having a very firm hand, a very strong position by letting putin know exactly what the consequences were. and by leading from the front, not leading from behind. >> you guys were doing the diplomacy you had to do.

>> 't. meant something to have a relationship with these guys. >> you got to try. you got to try. i understand that. >> right. but now we have got to go after the ruble. mr. rogue, very good. powerful house committee finally getting the irs emails. will that break open the scandal? later, goldberg on why the networks in some major newspapers ignored lois lerner's testimony last week. why did they ignore it? factor is coming right back. weekdays are for rising to the challenge. they're the days to take care of business. when possibilities become reality. with centurylink as your trusted partner, our visionary cloud infrastructure

outfit and here some progress being made. as the irs is going to handover emails from ms. lerner and others to that committee. joining us from houston, a member of ways and means congressman kevin brady. okay. so, it took almost a year but you got the irs do tell you, are they handing over all? are they giving you everything? >> they are so far on ms. lerner and we think this is significant. what we learned from the earlier documents is that the irs was not only targeting conservative groups, applying for tax exempt status, but they are monitoring, surveying existing conservative groups based on their political beliefs. we think this troves of emails will help us pinpoint at what level the wrongdoing occurred and the deception. this is a pretty significant change. >> maybe they are going to cherry pick and not give you the ones that are the smoking gun emails. are you confident you are going to get them all? >> well, we think this is

helpful. but we are going to keep digging. the truth of the matter is we want to get to the bottom of the truth. we want to hold them accountable for those who did wrongdoing and then most importantly. >> okay. but you are not sure. >> happen again. >> you are not sure what you are going to get. you are going to have to be forensic detectives and piece this together. >> yes, sir. >> why are two two committees. oversight committee issa grilled lerner last week and she took the fifth. ways and means, you guys are getting the memos. why are there two? why don't you just combine? isn't that more efficient? >> well, actually we each bring to the investigation a separate strength. it's a joint investigation. ways and means has the expertise within the tax code, within the applications. in fact, our chairman is the only one who can view the tax exempt applications in which he has examined about 3,000 of them. and we have examined about 450,000 pages of documents. so, really it's been an inside, outside approach. i think. >> you guys are already

camp. congressman camp is the chair. you are already convinced that the irs did what they are accused of doing. abecauseing their power and surveying conservative groups. which is outrageous if you can prove it. then not a smidgen of evidence the irs abused the power what do you think. >> the truth doesn't back up his words. if the irs has clean hands then show them. right now they have barely trickled out the date that that -- data and the information we need. they in my view have tried to dismiss and cover up the investigation. we are the only committee in my belief that's going to get ultimately to the truth. but it's tough-going. >> okay. but if you are going to get to the truth, you have to get lerner to testify. and twice the oversight -- house oversight committee has failed to do that. now, are you going to call her? do you a different tact? are you going to give her immunity? something like that? >> the approach that we are using right now is to dig

through the evidence. the emails, documents, we have interviewed persons of interest more than 50 times which is where we quickly discredited much of the white house's earlier claims. so we are going to continue to work through the documents and the evidence with when the time is right, when we think we have a much clearer picture and a pinpoint of the wrongdoing, then we will deal with ms. lerner. >> okay. but if the irs does not hand over everything, if they stonewall the smoking gun memos, destroy them hide them, whatever, and give you innocuous stuff which you seem toind indicate could be the case. i don't know if we're ever going to find this out, what happened. >> we are just knot going to stop until we get the truth. earlier on, that's exactly what the irs did. we didn't accept it we have continued to press, you know, the movement last week. i think is acknowledgment from treasury that we are going to continue. >> tell me this: do you have an inside guy telling you what really happened

that you are trying to just confirm? that's the way most investigations go. they have informer, someone on the inside saying look, this is what happened. look here. look there do you have that? you don't have to tell me who it is. do you have it? >> i wouldn't say even if we did. >> oh, come on, let me just tell you in the earliest interviews we quickly discredited from that irs employees themselves that this was just a rogue activity out of cincinnati or dallas went to washington. we quickly discredited the thought that progressive organizations were targeted as well. and so, in this investigation, so far we have knocked down every claim. >> that had to be from human intel. i will ask you one more question. in your opinion now, congressman, lead into the white house? >> it's too early to tell. but we're going to go and follow the evidence all the way to the truth. >> all right congressman, thanks for appearing this evening. we appreciate it directly ahead. feeding american children garbage. bad entertainment. why is someone like beyonce

personal story segment tonight. if you watch the factor you know we have been trying to help children at risk across the country, especially minority kids without parental guidance. president obama has announced a huge initiative called my brother's keeper that is a very strong step forward. but, along with that the inner city culture of cynicism must be in play. as you may know, i are been very critical of entertainment and largely unsupervised children. entertainment industry russell simmons the author

of the brand new book "success through stillness, mediation made simple." mr. simmons the co-founder of the music label deaf jam. you have largely apologized for some the stuff. you say it reflects the reality of the situation. >> yeah. i kind of think artists throughout history, poets throughout history have been criticized for sharing what's on people's minds and yonk it's any different now. hundreds of years in this country. >> you are a pretty perceptive businessman. explain, this beyonce, i saw her sing the star-spangled banner at the super bowl in houston. brilliant. all right? worth about 350 million. she puts out a new album with a video that glorifies having sex in the back of a limousine teenage girls look up to beyonce, particularly girls of color. she is san idol to. they i'm saying why on earth

would this woman do that? why would she do it when she knows the devastation that unwanted pregnancies, which we will deal with in a moment not with you but in another segment and fractured families, why beyonce do that? >> i was talking -- i wanted to talk about the left side of the brain and right side of the brain connecting and the shift in brain functionality for meditation and other things and getting into schools. >> you don't want to talk about beyonce. >> no. but i will say that -- i think the artist job throughout history has been to say things that people are inspired by. there is a research that says a man thinks about sex every 12 seconds. when an artist expresses something sexual in music is a reflection of oour reality. if we want that reality changed, then we have to do things that effect the core. so what i want to do and this is another subject back again but i want to put meditation in schools.

>> i will agree with you on lynch foundation that does just that. >> that's right. p &c @&c@ money. >> thank you. >> i support that but you are dodging the¥ question. i believe inbi]pñmlbn entertaint and entertainment like beyonce and mogul like you have an obligation to garbage that impressionable children. i think beyonce,iupá$árq inexplicable and i'm asking you, russellz&eqz simmons, to explain it to me. >> okay. as a parent of two children both of whom go to the schools for the÷ngnp1.ñ#ted, i o to their home every morning attñtq 6:15 and meditate with them until@v.bp 6:356789 i take we listefls the most commercial radio station on the way to school where they words. but they have heard most of my daughters make choices

way that doesn't conflict. if didn't you wouldn't force them. >> i wouldn't force it quiet time, sitting with patients and not having -- there is no religious or any kind of a gender that should separate you from any religious ideas. and so i think as much as you say it should be optional. sit down and do quiet. let our thoughts settle. and from that silence, we have a more expansive mind set and better brain functionality. it might have to be be quiet. >> that would be unconstitutional. you couldn't do it. >> not prayer. just quiet. >> you can't require any kind of an outside thing if parents object. how old are your kids? >> 14 and 11. do they meditate every day? >> every single morning. >> how long do they meditate? >> 20 minutes. >> 20 minutes? >> my youngest one started

one of the off shoots of a libertine culture is abortion. we have a stunning situation in that area. 201280% of abortions were performed on minority women. just 13% on white women. joining us now from washington to analyze mary katharine ham and juan williams. before you get to that juan, this is al interconnected. you heard me tell mr. simmons, look, it's irresponsible for a wealthy entertainer as powerful as beyonce to put out the garbage that she is putting out because she has to know young girls unsupervised not with good parents are going to listen to that and it's a glorification of it and you say? that's exactly right. he avoid the the topic totally.

he said they are reporting that's what's going on in the street that's authentic. that's a measure of an artist to what's going on' in a society. oh contrar. people like beyonce are glamorizing bad behavior. imagine if you are a poor young woman and the idea of having sex in the back of a limo, it's all of a sudden stars and oh that means you are hip and cool and authentic. you know, this is a contrast if you look back in time to artist who lamented bad social situation who reported on it in such a way as to say this is not the way to go. you think of bob dylan, you know, you think of marvin gay what's going on, things are blowing in the wind, change has got to come. because these guys today are about making bucks at the expense of these very vulnerable children and it's wrong. >> i'm glad you see it my way. the extension of that, mary katharine and why this fits in, libertine culture when you send a message to young unsupervised teenage girls. whited girls they hear this, too all right? and then they think it is as juan pointed out cool it do

it and they are pregnant. pregnant, bang, they have to have an abortion, and then the stats say 8 out of 10 abortions in the largest city in the country are minority. why? >> yeah, i mean that part is just heart breaking. i think we can aagree on this set having a large portion of your disseminated and potential therein does not make your community richer spiritually or economically. i don't think we see that born out in any of the stats about the black community and this is a problem that we need to grapple with. i do want to -- beyonce specifically beyonce some credit she does have other songs with more positive messages to them. she lives the life, i think, that is an example where she is happily married and raising her child and that can reflect also what she is doing and can be a positive message to young kids as well. >> you can explain why this latest deal? can you explain the latest deal? >> i can't explain. this as long as you can't explain it. >> maybe it rhymes with something.

>> gentleman explain it i love the woman to come in here and explain it for me. >> i want to commend her on other things. >> commend her all day long. >> it's important it's important to the people who pay attention to her if she is offering another message. >> scridz a calculator calculating all the woman's resume. >> they are listening to all of it though. >> juan, why 80% minority in your opinion? why? >> if you just say that number outloud people say oh my gosh. about 70% of the population in new york city is minority. we are talking about not only black but hispanic, asian, and others. so, it's a little bit disproportionate but not as radical when you say 80% of the abortions are black people. it's just not right. 70% of the whole population is minority. it's minority abortion. the second thing to say is when you look at the minority population, you are getting more poverty, less education, less access to healthcare in specific to contraception which is why it surprises me that conservatives are so

supportive of this hobby lobby case that's coming up at the supreme court where you have employer saying i'm not going to provide contraception as part of my healthcare plan and they are saying that's their choice. >> juan, you don't live here in new york. in new york city public schooling can you can get contraception any time you want free. >> you can get a prophylactic. consistent. >> juan, here is the thing. >> you can't get consistent contraception for women. >> juan, look at new york where new york is a blue state blue state, liberals say prevent this kind of thing, yet, they allegedly have the access. they allegedly have the support they want because you are living in a liberal state. >> not allegedly they have it it's there. >> from a liberal's point of view, you have all those things. you have all the pieces in place in this liberal place and, yet, you are getting the income inequality. yet, you are getting the family that's falling apart.

yet, you are getting women who have having abortions at a far higher rate than hispanic families and far higher rate than white families. how can we look at that as a way we are serving these women? that's the question are you serving that community in that blue state in that liberal state? it doesn't look like it to me. >> i have got to go. very good debate. i have got to go, juan. very good debate we appreciate you guys. goldberg up next. why is the media blacking out the irs scandal? bernie is next.

♪ thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly in the weekdays with bernie segment tonight. very compelling situation as you may know. the house oversight committee held hearings on the scandal. lois lerner took the fifth. pretty significant, right? most of the big american media totally ignored it it joining us from miami to explain why the purveyor of bernard goldberg got come. mr. goldberg. now, it's obvious to me and to you, we have been discussing this for five years, you wrote a book on it. that the american national media is protecting president obama. >> right, exactly. >> it protects him. this, beyond any reasonable

doubt is the smoking gun. because this story is an important story. and, yet, the "new york times," the "wall street journal," all the network news, evening newscasts didn't mention it until issa got into the brawl with cummings and then they just did that go. >> right. i thought you were going to start out by saying why do you think this is but you are absolutely right. the reason is very simple. because barack obama is president. i know that sounds simple, maybe too simple. but it's the truth. >> what other explanation could there be? it's a big story. >> let's look at this way. imagine if george w. bush were president. the irs were targeting his political enemies during an election year, no less. and the central character, the central character refused to testify. that would be pretty big news. so be there is no other real explanation. >> it's speculation, perhaps

"new york times" wouldn't cover that story in that scenario, perhaps. >> come on, there is no way is that a joke? >> playing devil's advocate here. we don't know for sure, do we? we do? >> you hinted at something that's important. let me try to expand on it for the past five years, a little more than five years, there has been a tendency among the so-called mainstream media journalists to play stories the way the obama administration wants the stories to be played so if he thinks this is a phony scandal, they will treat it as a phony scandal. i know it sounds simple, but that's what it is. >> do you think there is back door stuff? do you think members of the obama administration actually call editors and certain reporters and discuss this stuff with them

or is it just the ideology is so engrained that they do it reflexively? >> mostly that but i'm sure there are conversations what they call on background. you and i know what that is, but for the civilians out there that's where a high ranking official of the administration talks to reporters. you can't quote anything, but it gives them a frame of reference. so i'm sure there is some of that but mostly it's engrained. look, the president of the united states did an interview with you on super bowl sunday and said there wasn't a smidgen of evidence, i'm laughing at this because it is kind of funny, that there was any corruption there are several investigations that aren't complete. the central character takes the fifth -- by the way, she is entitled to exercise her constitutional rights, and i'm entitled to believe that she is either involved in a crime or covering up one or covering for somebody who is involved in a crime. the president says there is

not a smidgen of evidence and all. this and the media doesn't find that interesting? they don't even find it interesting that he concluded the investigation before the real investigations are concluded? that's -- what other explanation is there? let's go back to the beginning. what other explanation is there other than that they are covering for their guy? >> and he is their guy because he is a liberal african-american. is that why he is their guy? yeah. again, i know these things sound simple and to some people maybe too simple. but, yes. that's the reason. when barack obama was elected, there were stories before he came out that in the first time he ran in 2008 that said if he doesn't win it's because of racism in america now i mean there were stories and legitimate publications about that i is their guy.

. time now for the factor tip of the day which is a bit self-serving so i apologize in advance. readers of "the new york times" opened the paper to find this full-page ad. i am sure they were thrilled to

see my book "killing jesus," was number one on the seller's list. the kid's book will be out april first, so that is the tip of the day and i know it is self-indulgent, i know, but i feel very strongly about the book. not trying to convert anybody to anything. i just believe everybody should know exactly what happened to the most famous human being who has ever lived. and now to the mail, richard, bill, i disagree with you talking points about america is in decline. there are a number of us in the country who work and work hard to hold up our traditional way of life. well, you might be right, rich, but demographics are changing in the country, especially in the big cities. also, folks create their own false worlds. the next few elections will be crucial. and in michigan, you nailed it correctly bill, the declining

mendacious, and beyonce, i want to be fair to you. if you don't want to come on the factor, write me an e-mail. we'll check it. i know there are a lot of beyonce want to be's. and ms. megyn is next. i'm megyn kelly, live in new york, with breaking news on a controversial new cabinet pick from the president. plus? three days later and still no signs of a missing plane with 239 people on board. but we do have new details on stolen passports. mystery passengers and a shadowy iranian middle man. plus, the obama administration caved creating a cash wind fall for some unions. and passing the bill to everyone else. and how about "the kelly file" bringing you the news before it happens? >> mark my words, megyn. we'll show you the
