american wound pd vets. >> really the vietnam war veterans that educated me about what they had been through and how terrible it was for them to come home. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. factor begins right now. hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the primary anchor on univision jorge ramos asked me for an interview. i immediately said okay because mr. ramos is a stand-up guy he comes in here when we ask him. the interview is interesting because jorge and i see the world very differently. >> thanks so much for inviting me to your set. >> a pleasure. you always come on the factor, jorge. you are a standup guy and so i'm happy to talk to you. >> this is the no spin zone. so when it comes to race, politics, immigration, you are clearly right wing. >> well, that's your opinion but i would say that i'm a problem-solver on immigration, for example, which is one of your big issues, all right? >> sure.
5:02 pm
>> i want everyone to be treated fairly. i don't oppose a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens in america. i do not oppose that. >> but you want to secure the border. >> correct. because i don't want the merry go round to continue which i don't think does the country any good. chaos doesn't do anybody any good. >> you want a border that's impenetrable. >> if it's made a felony they won't do it anymore will they, jorge? >> well they. >> will they jorge? make it a felony to overstay their visa they won't overstay their visas anymore. >> they are coming because we are giving them jobs. >> all right. so let's revise that and have a worker program. i'm for a fair immigration law. >> but to say that you want to secure the border that's just an excuse to do nothing. >> well, no, if i were the
5:03 pm
president, i would secure the border, jorge. if you have 150,000 children crossing the border, you don't have a secure border. >> no, no, no. >> come on. >> that's exactly the opposite. what it means is that the system is working, therefore they are detained. they surrendered to the authorities. >> they shouldn't get to the authorities, you see, in most countries you can't get to the authorities. you can't even get in because of the way they have it structured. we need to have a system whereby it's impossible to physically get in unless you go through the process. you can do it. >> it's almost impossible. anyway, you claim there is not such a thing as white privilege in america. >> correct. >> many african-americans disagree with you. and some of them believe that, for instance, martin and michael brown were killed simply because of the color of their skin. >> i respect that belief but i don't believe it's based on facts. when 99.9% of the arrests made in the united states and african-americans are arrested out of proportion to the rest of the population, result in no
5:04 pm
harm to no one, you must say that the police aren't targeting anyone. >> don't you think that michael brown died simply because -- >> what do you believe -- - >> he was shot, he was completely unarmed. >> you have to let the process play out, first. you are jumping to conclusions. do you believe this police officer in ferguson woke up and said i'm going to kill a black man? do you believe that? >> not like that. >> do you believe that he hated black people this police officer? >> we don't know that. >> that's right. we don't know it? >> we are seeing examples of african-americans, african-americans being killed. >> you are seeing a few. not many. a few. >> i'm sure you saw this article by nicholas kristof? >> yes, i did. >> when whites just don't get it i think he is talking about you because he is mentioning you. >> of course he is talking about me. >> he demonstrates when it comes to net worth, income, employment. >> yes. >> life expectancy. >> yes. >> incarceration rate. >> right. >> that whites are doing much better than
5:05 pm
african-americans. >> and asians are doing better than whites. >> is that white privilege? >> no, is it asian privilege that asians do better than whites. >> i know you want to talk about that but here we are talking about there is a white privilege in america. >> there isn't. that's a myth. >> what is it then? >> what it is that you have to look at the successful' people and what makes them successful. therefore i took the asian american community and i said here is why they make more money than whites or blacks because they keep the family together, because there is an emphasis on education, because there is parental supervision of children. those things in the asian-american communities are in stone. while it's eroding in the white and it's almost nonexistent in some black areas. the government cannot solve those problems. if you have 72% of children born out of wedlock, in the african-american community, 72%, you're going to have poverty, jorge. >> there is white privilege in this country. let me jump to another thing. you said the idea of writing "killing jesus" came from
5:06 pm
the holy spirit. >> right. >> really? >> yeah. you are catholic, right? >> no i was born catholic. i'm not a catholic anymore. but it is very dangerous to mix politics and religion. >> i'm not mixing politics. i'm an ordinary citizen i wrote a book. >> you are not ordinary citizen because you are suggesting that god -- >> -- i'm an ordinary citizen. >> jorge. >> talked to you somehow. >> you were born catholic, correct? >> yes. >> in the catholic and christian religion, there is god, right? >> yes. >> and where do we get our talents from? where do we get our inspiration from? >> yeah, but to say that the holy spirit talked to you. >> where do we get it from? are you a christian now. >> no, i'm not a christian. >> you are nothing? >> no. >> you understand the christian theology. >> of course. >> i believe in that, is that okay? >> of course, that's your own belief. >> i believe in it. i believe there is an active god who inspires. when i was asked when i got the idea from jesus i think i was inspired by the holy spirit. you object to that? you object to me stating my religious beliefs as an american.
5:07 pm
>> that's your belief but if you are suggesting that god talks to you and then you constantly every single day give your political opinion, it's -- >> jorge, you are drawing real crazy arc here. i believe i'm inspired because i believe i'm in the christian theology. you don't believe it. but why do you object for me saying it? why can't i say what i believe? >> you can say whatever you want. >> thank you. >> thanks so much for talking to us. >> it's a pleasure. >> and allowing us here in the no spin zone. >> it's a pleasure. >> patriotism on deck. actor gary sinise millions of vets who need help. mr. sinise on the way.

5:11 pm
♪ >> here now, mr. sinise. how many of these benefits do you do a year, do you think? >> oh, gosh. we have a lot of money to raise at the foundation. we are doing a lot of things, building homes and resiliency events. the band is part of my foundation. i'm doing various fundraisers and the band fundraiser. it's maybe 35 concerts a year. >> all right. so almost every weekend if you are doing 35. that's a lot. now, explain there is a foundation, i have a foundation named after my parents. you have a foundation. what does your foundation do? >> it's a military support agency, that's what it is. i have been involved with vets going back to the 80's. after i played the wounded veteran in "forrest gump" in
5:12 pm
the 90s i got very involved. after september 11th we needed help with iraq and afghanistan supporting our men and women so i volunteered for the uso, started going out there and a helping military charities like the independence fund. i got involved with them. >> with the track chairs and everything like that. >> i got involved with them in 2000 your foundation does what? >> one of the programs that we have is called rise restoring independence, supporting empowerment, that means we want to provide specially adapted housing for our wounded veterans. >> okay. >> mobility devices, track chairs, that kind of thing. adapted vehicles. >> right. >> we want to do things to empower them and give them their independence back. >> that's very, very important. so you played an amputee in "forrest gump." you got to talk to some the vets and you got empathy, is that the word, empathy for them that you felt it was your mission to do this? >> partially, and i had been involved with vietnam veterans groups going back to the 1980s. so i had very serious compassion.
5:13 pm
>> what was it that attracted you to the military. >> i had military in my family, world war i, world war ii and korea and my mom's side the vietnam era. it was really the vietnam era veterans that educated me as a young man about what they had been through and how terrible it was for them to come home when we started deploying to iraq and afghanistan, i didn't want to see that happening to them. >> you weren't in the military yourself, right? >> no. i was -- >> and i didn't serve i can't say that i do nearly as much as you do for the military but certainly we have raised millions of dollars for the track chairs here as the folks know. when you do these things, it's hard sometimes. i mean, it's hard because you are a busy guy, a successful actor. you live out on the west coast. you have got a family to take care of. yet, you are out all the time. does that ever weigh on you? >> well, it does. but there is a lot of satisfaction, also, when you see that you can do something to help somebody. >> absolutely. >> there is a lot of
5:14 pm
spiritual nourishment you get from that. >> spiritual nourishment. you are a believer in god. >> yes, sir. >> and christianity and helping others? >> i felt in some ways that i was called to do this. i have a -- there is a thing that i can provide. there is a thing that i can do. there is a way that i can raise awareness. there is a way that i can give back. >> you are using your fame, obviously, for good to do this. i kind of do the same thing. i figure, a million to one, actually 20 million to one i'm here. so might do some good. the guy -- when i visit the wounded and try to make a big deal out of it, but they are almost stunned to see you. you know. and it's me -- it's me the one -- i'm the one that's privileged to be with them. >> i'm sure they are stunned to see you, bill. >> they are. we didn't know you were so tall. >> i'm sure they are stunned. >> i bet you feel the same way. i don't want them to think
5:15 pm
that i'm anything special. they are the special ones. you know, they are giving and sacrifice to the country. >> they don't expect anything, you know. they really don't expect celebrities who walk in the door and take their time to come and visit them. when you go to the war zones and you go to the hospitals and you go around and play for them like i have over a number of years. even with all that i have done, i'm still -- every single time i do it, i get so much nourishment out of it. i just feel that, you know, enriched in some way. >> plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. barbara walters retired but not before i asked her political questions on the war on women, for example. >> is there a war on women in america? you are one of the top women. >> i don't think so. women can do and do do whatever the men do.
5:16 pm
flo: hey, big guy. i heard you lost a close one today. look, jamie, maybe we weren't the lowest rate this time. but when you show people their progressive direct rate and our competitors' rates you can't win them all. the important part is, you helped them save. thanks, flo. okay, let's go get you an ice cream cone, champ. with sprinkles? sprinkles are for winners. i understand. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla apremilast. otezla is not an injection or a cream.

5:19 pm
thanks for staying with us. i'm bill o'reilly. in the personal story segment tonight barbara walters 84 giving up television and moderating "the view" and abc specials. i have known ms. walters many years and have had many interesting conversations with her. i believe the one tonight will fit into that category as well. is there a war on women in america? you are one of the top women. >> i don't think so. >> okay. no war on women, right? >> i don't think so. somebody asked me recently was i a feminist? and i thought that's an old fashioned word now feminist. because with rare exceptions women can do and do do whatever the men do. >> good. i'm glad you said that because i think that's the biggest phony issue i have heard. do you have any resentment against men? hear reasoner gave you a hard time some of the old boys. were derisive towards you.
5:20 pm
when i worked at abc i heard bad things about you. i never saw it myself. do you have any resentment against male colleagues? >> no. >> they hurt you? >> no. i didn't like some of the things i had to fight against them. i think there was still the old school of hard news and it should be men. but that's gone. i like men. i enjoy being with men. i don't have a problem and i don't have resentment. >> okay. because jennings thought you were a little softball, you know that, right? >> peter was his own piece of work as we say. >> i had access to jennings and i used to say look, why are you you giving her a hard time for, all right? she is going out and getting information from these people. that's what you want information, right? and then he would tell me to shut up and get out of his office. i saw it firsthand. but you are telling me you don't have any resentment against these guys? >> i don't have time for a lot of resentment. my time was spent during my homework, trying to ask the best questions. trying to get the big get. i didn't spend a lot of time saying why did they do that to me and i'm going to get even. i don't think that way. >> you are a liberal woman. you are sympathetic to pro-choice people,
5:21 pm
politically correct people. remember when i was on "the view" and goldberg and behar ran off because i said muslims killed us on 9/11? >> muslims didn't kill us on 9/11? is that what you are saying? >> extremists did that. >> what religion was mr. mcveigh? mcveigh was an extremists as well. >> i'm telling you 77 -- >> -- i don't want to sit here now. i don't. >> you are outraged about muslims killing us on 9/11? [cheers and applause] >> i want to say something. >> you were sitting next to me. you knew what i meant. you knew that it was muslim extremists, you knew that? >> look, i do have my own views. but when i am working professionally, i do try to keep my own views out. >> but you can't on "the view." it's an opinion show. >> but i do. i'm not sure that everybody who watches "the view" knows
5:22 pm
really what my political feelings are. >> everybody knows you are liberal, barbara. i don't want to break it to you too gently everybody knows. >> do they really? >> i want to know this when you saw behar and goldberg -- two uber liberals. you are not a uber liberal. when they ran off and you knew what i was saying. >> what i said was on the air this is their show. we are the hosts. you don't do that to a guest. >> why do you think they did it? >> because they felt personally affronted. but my feeling was -- >> did they really? >> we are going to old stuff, bill. >> no. but this is what everybody remembers. >> okay. i felt when this is your show and you are in charge, you take what the guest gives and you work with it. you don't get up and walk out in a huff. i told them that. >> i want to say something to all of you. you have just seen what should not happen. we should be able to have discussions without washing our hands and screaming and walking off stage.
5:23 pm
i love my colleagues. that should not have happened. >> you told tv guide that oprah, oprah winfrey. >> yes. >> is a person that you could not interview enough. >> did i say that? i guess i felt that about oprah. and i feel it about some others. i'm going to throw out names at you. these are not the ones i think of, you know, as the top interviews but they are people i can interview again and again. bette midler, i can interview her there is something always new and fresh a charming. cher i haven't interviewed in years. cher was always original. there are certain people whom you can come back and interview again and again. and there are certain people you do it once and you have got it. there is no new point. i can interview you every day and find stuff to talk to you about. >> thank you, i appreciate that. >> that's one of the reasons you do a show every day. >> i think that journalism has changed in america, particularly on television. that's it's become now a forum to advance agendas.
5:24 pm
do you understand what i'm saying? >> i do. >> rather than delivering news and facts to people, that the news agencies have turned now to push certain people. and i think barack obama is a good example of how the media got behind him and promoted him. and to this day many of them still do. do you disagree? >> i don't think this is what's happened to news. i think what's happened to news is that it's gotten lighter and lighter. we don't have news magazines anymore. they almost don't exist. the ones that we have, perhaps more tabloid. and everybody wants it to be fun. and everybody wants everybody to laugh. and everybody wants it sort of to be like "the view." that's what i think. >> why am i so successful? >> god knows. >> i'm darth vader here. >> you know why you are so successful since this may be my last time with you, because you are smart and you are courageous and you can take it as well as you give it. okay? >> all right, ms. walters. >> i love being on with you. >> we wish you the best.
5:25 pm
i said you are the most successful woman tv journalist of all time. it is absolutely a fact. and i think everybody should understand that. >> thank you, billy. >> ms. walters has always been respectful to me and others here at the fox news channel. she deserves credit for that and for simply being a legend. and big-time athletes and movie stars calm racial tensions in the u.s.a. we will talk with former nba star jalin rose. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva respimat does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva respimat. discuss all medicines you take even eye drops. if your breathing suddenly worsens,

live from america's news headquarters. a newark deal with iran is said to be close with an announcement possibly coming as early as monday with some issues yet to worked out. one diplomat saying the agreement is more than 100 pages long. some details leaking suggest iran will not have to agree to spot facilities inspections which was supposed to be a u.s. deal breaker. congress will have 60 days to review and vote on the agreement. negotiations set to resume tomorrow in brussels on financial bailout for greece. european nations want evidence the greek will tighten up fiscally before handing out any bailout cash. greece wants the cash flow to start as early as tomorrow. now back to an o'reilly special. you're watching the most powerful name in the news. you know it, fox.
5:30 pm
welcome back to the special edition of the o'reilly factor. the most welcome back to the special edition of the o'reilly factor. the most compelling stories. turning now to the racial division in america. we all know the problem. blacks, whites, hispanics all see american society differently. it has reached a big-time problem. we recently spoke about it with former nba stars jalin rose and metta world peace. roll the tape. >> you were raised in a very tough town, detroit. how do you see the police in america, generally speaking? >> i respect the police. i respect all public officials. if i could stop the world on its axis right now, military, firemen, the police department, teachers. they should all be paid double. that's how much i respect what they do for our great country. >> so, when you see protesters out there, saying, listen, police are
5:31 pm
generally racist and they give black americans a harder time than white americans, how do you, jalen rose, react to that? >> i don't think the police start their day by getting in the car looking at one another at two white cops saying hey we are going to harass as many black as we see today and shoot them down. what happens is you have unfortunate situations taking place caused national uproar, trayvon martin, michael brown or eric gardner killing. the statistics saying wow, it happens to be a white cop versus a black individual. let's further investigate. when you don't indict, all of a sudden the hoody, all of a sudden i can't breathe. now becomes a rally cry. not against the police but against a system that a lot of people sometimes feels
5:32 pm
like it continues to let them down. >> before i let you go, i want to tell everybody that you, in addition to your commentary, put your money where your mouth is you are trying to repair relations between the police and young black people in the city of detroit. just tell us about that. >> when i started jalen rose leadership academy a free tuition charter public high school in my hometown, one of my goals was to put a police mini station in our school because a lot of time when that interaction happens, there is tension involved and you don't get to see the chance to see that interaction happen when it's friendly. so, unfortunately, detroit doesn't have the funding for police mini stations anymore, so the idea didn't come to fruition. but it's very important for us to have that interaction when it's not hostility involved. >> all right. your academy is funded by private donations? >> yes. we are tuition-free public charter. we are state-funded but our goal is to bridge the education gap through funding, through opportunity, which, in turn, leads to achievement.
5:33 pm
do you tell them as the mayor of new york city did, to watch out for the police? >> well, i make sure my kids understand people, understand if somebody is racist it came from somewhere. they weren't born racist. if somebody is a gang member they weren't born a gang member. i want to make sure that my children understand the environment they live in. not all police are bad. i grew up in an environment where police were around a lot. i experienced some profiling. i experienced good police. i remember growing up playing basketball police put their guns on the ground and played basketball with us. >> in queens. >> in queens. i experienced both sides. >> what's the message of this book. >> the message is you don't want to start racial wars or things like that. you want to have solutions. you want to, you know, have prevention tactics and things like that. and you also want to address issues. you don't want to just push it under the rug. >> it's written for
5:34 pm
children. >> it's written for children, absolutely. you don't want children growing up hating police, hating another race, hating -- blacks hating whites, whites hating blacks. that's why my book is very diverse. >> when you hear someone, you know, look, the ferguson, missouri thing it was established beyond any reasonable doubt. >> right. >> that the initial reporting hands up. >> right. >> didn't happen. >> right. >> okay. do you feel it's necessary to correct the record to people who believe it did happen? >> i believe -- i do believe that and i also believe that the black -- blacks make up 70% of ferguson. and we are only 5% of law enforcement and nobody is involved in politics, you know, if you want to really change that community you have to get involved in politics. you have to get involved in the school system and change. >> absolutely. blacks are a majority in that town if they wanted they could have a black mayor and organize and have more power. >> organize in a more, you know -- >> i have known you for a
