5:00 pm
the cliffs. these are the champions who helped free a continent and these are the heroes who >> and good night from washington. >> the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> we saw an opportunity and we seized it. and i make no apologies for that. >> president obama remaining defiant in the face of withering criticism for his deal with the taliban. and now, poll results are in. they are not good news for mr. obama. >> bill o'reilly, the most dangerous thing that guy has ever done is walk across the street in new york to buy a burger. >> let the personal attacks begin. that guy knows nothing about me but recents the fact that i have criticized certain aspects of the taliban deal. we will discuss it tonight. >> we have a guy who repeatedly raped a 14-year-old girl and you gave him just 30 days in jail. can you can explain that, please? >> also ahead, the montana
5:01 pm
judge who gave a child rapist 30 days in jail is punished by the state. megyn kelly with an update. 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. the blow back on president obama over the taliban deal that is the subject of this evening' talking points memo. as the president gets set to mark the 70th anniversary of the d-day invasion in france tomorrow. he is under' withering fire here at home. the trading of bowe bergdahl for five taliban war criminals has raised questions about his judgment and leadership. however, the president remains defiant. >> we have a basic principle, we do not leave
5:02 pm
wearing the american uniform behind. we had a prisoner of war whose health had deteriorated and we were deeply concerned about and we saw an opportunity and we seized it and i make no apologies for that. >> delivered some bad news to mr. obama. when asked if you approve or disapprove of the taliban swap, 445% approve. 47% disapprove. however, when asked if you are concerned that negotiation with terror groups will encourage those groups to take more soldiers hostage, 57% say they are very concerned. 27 somewhat concerned. 7% not very. 8% not at all. next question: do you think the obama administration has made america stronger or weaker. 35% stronger, a 5% weaker. poll continues: do you think the obama administration is more or
5:03 pm
less competent than the george w. bush administration? less competent, 48%. and finally, do you approve or disapprove of the job barack obama is doing as president. 40% approve. a 4% disapprove. those are bad numbers. no question. so the spin begins. the president's acolytes in the media are saying it's simple prisoner of war swap. that happens in every conflict. but that is fallacious. the five men released from gitmo are war criminals. brutal men who target civilians. how bad is the taliban? listen up. june, 2013, the terrorist group beheaded a 10-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy on charges they were spies.)29xm april 2013, the taliban amputated a hand and foot of two private security guards because they associated with foreign troops. october of 2012. the taliban shoots and nearly kills a 15-year-old pakistan girl because she supports education for
5:04 pm
women. august 2012, taliban killers behead 17 people, including two women for attending a mixed gender party. i could go on and on. the atrocities never end not nor legitimate army. the terrorists, they torture and skill civilians. are we all getting this? you don't free five war criminals even if the life of the american soldier is on the line. talking points understands honest people disagree with thatvme( statement. if you want to win the war on terror, you simply can cannot appear weak. and interesting aside, the daily beast web site reporting that hillary clinton did not want to release the five taliban killers in past negotiations. gee, i wonder who leaked that today? and many democratic politicians are running now, running away from the obama
5:05 pm
administration. one final note. as we will demonstrate once again on the factor tonight taliban sympathizers, at least they were at one time. that's what the evidence says. and in light of what the taliban really is that's troubling, however, and this is important. talking points believes that sergeant bergdahl and his father should be given the benefit of every doubt. but when there is no doubt judgment yous have to be made. as for president obama the initial judgment is in. public opinion has turned against him now for the top story tonight, reaction. joining us from paris, fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry is traveling with the president. it's 2:00 a.m. inr=r paris. does president obama know. >> anything for you. >> does he know what kind of trouble he is in?
5:06 pm
>> i think they are denying it somewhat because if you look at the president's remarks news conference. second time in a week he was pressed on this. he wants to talk about ukraine and other stuff.t%cuñ he keeps getting pulled into the by the u.s. press because of the firestorm back home. he has been dismissive of it. he says look, i'm not surprised that this kind of controversy is whipped up in same old politics as usual. his aids are telling politico this is just obama haters whipping this up. that's not true. when you compare it to, say, benghazi, irs, where it did go along partisan lines, rightly or wrongly, in this case, following very closely after the v.a. scandal, i would note. there has been bipartisan outrage dianne feinstein should have been notified this b. this prisoner swap shoe flat out said not just
5:07 pm
some partisan charade. >> again, do you think the man understands this is huge. >> people died. >> yeah, but people died here too, ed. soldiers searching for sergeant bergdahl died, and we're going to hear, you know, the full story. and there is two deficits for the president still to come. number one, there is a classified report about bergdahl, about exactly what he did. that should be unclassified now that he is back in the u.s.a. and a the second thing is the doctors examining the sergeant are going to have to tell the world if he was really that ill. and it doesn't look to me like he is. so is, you have got two more shoes that are about to drop. >> yeah. and the white house is using this video they have been showing lawmakers of both parties suggesting that his health was deteriorating as the president said at the
5:08 pm
news conference today. but, remember, that video is from six months ago. it's not from a week ago. we don't know what happened the last six months. to be fair, maybe his health got worse other the last six months. we don't know. we have to get that intelligence. that's all -- the doctors will say but that's all the more reason why suture rice shouldn't have gone on that sunday show saying he served with honor and distinction. i don't know all the facts. we don't know all the facts and clearly she doesn't know all the facts because it appears anyway. because i don't know for sure. but it appears he did not serve with honor and distinction. >> all right. you know you are a lucky guy, henry, because every american should get to visit normandy. i have been there a couple of times. it's just an amazing experience. going to go down tomorrow and, you know,. >> yep. >> really everybody should understand what happened there. and i guess putin is going to be there, too. >> five years ago with president obama. >> yep. >> they might shake hands. we will see. they are going at the same ceremony.
5:09 pm
i was there five years ago with president obama seeing all those crosses in the american cemetery. went to save our way of life, you know, you could say it's moving but when you are actually there, it really is i'm going to be getting on a bus that's going to go about four hours. and how could i complain about a bus ride when these folks gave heir lives. it's unbelievable. >> you will probably get some croix sants croix sants too and french stuff. >> maybe get a beret. i want a beret that matches the pocket square. >> i think that would be a very good investment, henry. next on the rundown, secretary of defense chuck hagel says he does not know of any american soldiers killed while searching for sergeant bergdahl. some are outraged by that statement. colonel david hunt up next. it starts with little things. tiny changes in the brain.

5:14 pm
circumstances or details of u.s. soldiers dying as a result of efforts to find and rescue sergeant bergdahl. >> joining us now from boston, fox news military analyst colonel david hunt. so what do you say to secretary hagel? >> i'm very, very disappointed. hagel was enlisted soldier, two tour combat veteran to vietnam. he knows better.9za @&c@ the guy you had on and the other soldiers who were there in afghanistan in bergdahl's plow tune and on the the operations are the ones that are saying six to 14 died and it's going to turn out to be more died while looking for bergdahl. and, in fairness, they may have died on a patrol anyways. the resentment is that they were also looking for a deserter. they knew he was a deserter the day it happened. and it's very disingenuous,
5:15 pm
the secretary of defense, again, a combat veteran to make that kind of remark. he either is lying or hasn't asked the chain of command on this story, because the soldiers who were there staying it happened. >> probably the latter, probably doesn't want to know. it's interesting because there is a classified report about bergdahl's situation. all right? >> yeah. >> so president obama, you have got to assume hagel and everybody else, they know what happened over there it will come out. they have to declassify now. there is no reason to keep it classified. now, will is a report by the eclipse group, which is a private intelligence operation that has done some work in afghanistan that bergdahl did a lot of bad things with the taliban. i'm not sure whether this is an accurate report, so i'm not going to say what the report says. it is muddled, it also says that bergdahl tried to escape the taliban. you know about this report, what's your assessment? >> the report -- the head of
5:16 pm
the eclipse group is a great former spy by the name of dewey. infamous for the iran contra business. but a dedicated american guy. i mean, great intelligence operations guy. clandestined services. the problem with the report that i have seen is that it it has sources inside the taliban which by the way nobody has. i think it's tenuous yet to talk about bergdahl besides being a traitor. but the report wants toñz$9ñ say is it's worse. the soldiers with him calling him other names. we have not confirmed and the eclipse report needs two or three confirmations from the intelligence community. >> i think you misspoke. you can call bergdahl with accuracy a deserter. i don't think there is any question about that. >> right. deserter. that's right. >> but to call him a collaborator, traitor, it's not there yet. all right? >> correct. >> it's possible.
5:17 pm
all right. now, this guy that you mentioned, mr. clarrage, he was indicted for lying to congress. and pardoned. he was pardoned by bush the elder. go ahead, last word. >> you have -- dewey was doing the country's work and that was a very political party. he was pardoned. he did really good work intelligence community. all i'm saying is this report you have got to get some confirmation on this and we can't step out on that limb yet. >> okay. now, rosen, james rosen, our correspondent, state department, he broke the story. i'm going to have rosen on tomorrow. we will see if we can advance it a little bit. colonel, thank you as always. directly ahead, will liberal americans stand by their man, president obama, after yet another controversy. later, i'm personally attacked on cnn for telling the truth about the taliban story. we're coming right back. and just give them the basics, you know. i got this.

5:20 pm
5:21 pm
impact somethingment tonight. while public opinion has turned against president obama on the taliban swap there are are people who support him and the deal he made. joining us from washington indicate observer shame and james carville. carville, do you support the deal. >> yeah, i think i do. i'm persuaded. charles krauthammer says he supports it. general stanley mcchrystal, according to your own poll it's split 50/50 in the country. five israelis gave up 1027 prisoners for one soldier. we gave up five. i mean, we always give up more in these things than they do because we have a different value on human life. i'm troubled. >> the israelis never gave up anybody for a deserter, number one. that goes flying out the window. we do. >> that uniform code of military justice, he will be subjected to that. if is he a deserter, that's
5:22 pm
a crime. >> that's right. he is going to be tried for it. >> we will determine that. >> i will will tell you why we know it, just so you and your own little world can become clearer. >> >> all right. classified report on the man. if that classified report had cleared him, you know damn well the obama administration would be running around and trumpeting it all over the place. >> again, that will be determined. we have a sophisticated system, military justice in this country. >> we got it, that will be determined by them. >> what do you say, kate? >> well, first of all, there have been five years to get to the bottom of this and we haven't heard that he hasn't been cleared. >> he hasn'tayhh been cleared. >> his comrades say he left a note say i am leaving to start a new life, period. so i think it's really clear that giving up five commanders of the taliban and you are right, bill, you hit the nail right on the head when you said this is a terrorist organization. this is not a country that we are releasing these people to. the first day that they were
5:23 pm
released rice came out and said in all likelihood they will not pose a threat to american security. now the president is saying well, we don't really know. we were told that the u.s. what be keeping an eye on them in qatar. now we are being told by qatar the u.s. will have no role in monitoring these guys. there is a serious problem with releasing these inhuman main individuals back into society to prey on americans but also to prey on other innocence. this is the most ridiculous deal. >> and then now do you know who rudolph hess was? >> yes, do i know. >> he was a top nazi commander who deserted he flew to england and they got him. now, there is no way on earth that the allied forces during world war ii would have exchanged rudolph hess for any soldier. after the anyck,[ time war criminal. tried after the war as a war criminal. they are not going to give him back. it's the[p@8 same thing first of all these guys have been in
5:24 pm
captivity for i think 13 years the war in afghanistan is going to be over in 2016. >> it doesn't matter. >> the war in afghanistan is going to be over in 2016 we are leaving. they are terrorists. >> again, i agree they are bad guys. >> no, no. they are worse than bad guys. >> they gave up 283 people serving a life sentence for an israeli. one israeli. and, you know what?s !¿ and people supported that. >> i just told you they didn't give him up for commanders who are war criminals. these guys have to be tried for crimes against humanity just not pows that's insane. >> israelis gave up paris criminals, got knows whatnot. >> israel and it's not us. >> why are we comparing us to israel? i don't understand the comparison. >> cowan tri that a lot of americans have admiration for. i don't think everybody ever
5:25 pm
accused the israelis of being weak on terrorism. >> listen, these are people who shut be tried for crimes against humanity, not running around qatar free. that's insane. >> two of them are still wanted by the united nations for murdering thousands of shiite muslims. it's not just americans who are concerned about it but the u.n. is still concerned about it i'm just stunned, not only by the deal, by the release of these, but by the administration continuing to shift their story every time something new comes out. reasons why the american people are so suspicious and why dianne feinstein and man shin and some of the democrats, even hillary clinton is saying wait a minute, i don't think i want anything to do with. >> it's gonna get worse. all right, we appreciate the debate. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. megyn kelly has some members of sergeant bergdahl's platoon on the program this evening. she will give us a preview. laura ingraham on vicious personal attacks going on in the media because of the controversy. we hope you stay tuned to those reports.

you know as well as i do senator portman that they're going to point to wording in the will you law that says the president has the discretion in an emergency situation and they are going to say this was that. but we will get back to that in a minute. >> there was no discretion in that law, bill. that law was very clear. it required them to provide a detailed. >> they are litigated right up and by the time it gets

decided he will be on the lectures tour, his term will be over.xóe >> that's why we need to have reas lucien passed by the senate that, one, it was illegal that he did and two we need to get to the bottom of it so he won't do it again. >> good luck on that. senator looks like the

pentagon is on board with it. >> well, they indicated they had the -- one of the top official there. and so, but it was primarily, i think, more of a civilian political appointee briefing for the most part. >> all right. now, senator portman, you know, harry reid and the crew and, you know, across the aisle from you, they are not going to go along with you trying to pin the obama administration down withk(du something illegal. you know you are in for a big fight on that. >> well, they should because, otherwise, the president is going it overreach again, i fear. you know, susan rice in her sunday show performance said a couple things that were unusual. one was that the soldier had served with honor and distinction before there is any army investigation which is now hopefully going to occur.
5:33 pm
but, second, she said when pressed about why the release these folks, you know, we don't want guantanamo to continue anyway. e want to release everybody. >> i know that's terrible. but,. >> got to be sure that they don't continue to do. this that's why getting the senate on record is very important to say this law is clear. this is a violation of the law. we can't have this again. there has to be a justification. afsd detailed explanation and, we have to know what the conditions of their release are going to be to ensure they are not going to go back into the battlefield and have more american blood on their hands. >> it will be interesting to see how the senate meets that. senator sessions you know there has been investigation on this guy and it's now, you can do anything to get it unclassified because, no reason to keep it secret now that he is back in american hands. i don't think investigation. >> i think we have got to have that. look, we owe it to the men and women who are in combat, in harm's way, sent there by the commander and chief, the president, to be sure that
5:34 pm
this vid is held accountable if he did things wrong. and i believe that needs to be public and will be done eventually. but it certainly is a critical component of what we do to make sure that this president and congress did not breech -- break faith with those fabulous soldiers are placing their lives at risk today and to turn loose five top terrorists who were caught by brave men and women probably losing many lives at the same time trying to capture them would be a -- is a very unhappy. >> we need to know. i agree with both of you gentlemen. we need to know everything about this thing. senators i appreciate it megyn kelly has members of sergeant bergdahl's platoon this evening. she will give us a preview. megyn is next. back here was excruciating.

joining us from washington mislaura ingraham. the story is getting pretty nasty. >> i think, bill, look, of course they are going to go after you, right? if they don't go after you or me for, you know, a joke i made on the radio about this, they are going to have to actually speak about what this means for our country, okay? you were well within your right after you saw that white house appearance with the parents of bergdahl obviously thrilled there their son is going to come home. odd it spoke in arabic and said in arabic in the name of allah most gracious, most gracious -- mostmk.÷i merciful. he said that and that was an islamic statement that was odd. it caught everybody's attention. and it was bizarre. at a time where we are still still have troops over there. for someone to appear at the white house and speak in arabic, at a moment like this, seemed to a lot of
5:50 pm
americans to be showing some elm pealt in the situation. >> i wouldn't do that i swunt say it showed empathy but it was inappropriate. >> it was bizarre to most americans. the left wants to circumscribe speech. they want to turn the tables away from the hideous way the obama administration has handled this both legally and just as a matter of logic. they want to turn the tables away from that and put the spotlight on anyone who discusses it in any way that is not complimentary to obama. it's transparent what they are doing. most americans who saw that thought it was odd and thought it to themselves and i think, you said it was kind of strange, it was odd. i did, too. i think most people believe that and the left knows it. >> i have some very interesting letters coming up at the end of the program about people who agree with that pinhead on cnn. by the way who doesn't know anything about me. that's what gets me. you know, if you have somebody on the program and they go after carol

costello, i guess that's her name on cnn. she has an think obligation as a journalist to challenge that kind of stuff they are like okay. i will ask you the same question as i asked ms. megyn because this is a really interesting question to me. i asked ed henry, too. do you believe that president obama knows the firestorm of anger that the v.a. story and now the bergdahl story on top of the v.a. story is causing in the country? is he aware of it? >> bill, i'm not sure, frankly, that he cares. i don't think that when you watch what he has done in the last few years, since he was reelected, a year and a half, whatever, ha he has done since he was reereelected. it doesn't appear that he cares about what's happening in the u.s. economy. we don't talk about jobs anymore. and as far as this matter goes, i mean, it not pick up the phone and even call
