8:00 pm
the election of immigration. thank you very much. video there. >> the royale factor is on tonight. >> her actions corrupted and disgraced one of the most important departments of government. >> the trump campaign changing strategy now emphasizing the two major controversies surrounding hillary clinton. emails and the foundation. will that work? we'll have a special report. >> jimmie, my emails are so boring. i'm embarrassed about that. >> hillary clinton continuing to shrug off the email situation which is probably a smart thing to do. we will take a look at the democratic strategy. ♪ if i could turn back time ♪ if i could find a way >> also ahead, some celebrities getting involved in the presidential race using social media. we will tell you who is
8:01 pm
saying what. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ i am bill o'reilly, thanks for watching opportunities e ne new strategy from the trump campaign and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. to take the heat off their candidate focusing on hillary's email and foundation controversies. the plan is this to key monday nice mrs. clinton with the corruption label to. demand an independent prosecutor be assigned to look at her behavior and to tell voters that ongoing scandal will not benefit the country. yesterday, mr. trump made things clear. >> the clintons made the state department into the same kind of pay for play operation as the arkansas government was. the amounts involved the
8:02 pm
favors done, and the significant number of times it was done require an expedited investigation by a special prosecutor immediately, immediately, immediately. >> so, for the next few weeks, we will be hearing that attorney general loretta lynch should appoint a prosecutor to investigate the clinton foundation and perhaps the new email dump which we will tell you about in a few moments. for her part, secretary clinton is keeping cool. she appeared with jimmy kimmel last night. >> jimmie, my emails are so boring. >> yeah, mine are. >> i'm embarrassed about that. they are so boring. we have already released, i don't know, 30,000 plus so what's a few more? >> that's a smart strategy by secretary clinton not to run from the controversies but to underplay them. mrs. clinton well understands that her base doesn't care very much about the email or the situations. her campaign is hoping that
8:03 pm
independent voters are tired of it all in all, this presidential campaign is nasty already and it will get worse talking points predicted that. there is so much at stake. the difference between donald trump and hillary clinton is enormous. partisans on both sides are mobilized to the highest degree. obviously, we are all living in a time where america is a very divided country. republicans have nominate add populist, a magnet for controversy who promises great change. democrats have nominate add traditional politician, also a controversy magnet whose policies are not much different than those of president obama. for me as a voter, i don't like all the strife. i don't like the polarization but it's a reality and we all have to deal with it that's the memo. now for the top story, more trouble today for hillary clinton just what the trump campaign wants. just a few hours ago, the associated press headlined many donors to clinton
8:04 pm
foundation met with her at state joining us from d.c. is james rosen. this is original reporting from the a.p. what should the folks know about it, rosen? >> well, first of all, primarily that it's not good news for hillary clinton. the associated press, which is widely respected. it's not anybody's idea of a right wing attack machine, has been using the freedom of information act and they have gotten ahold of a number of secretary clinton's schedules, her calendars from when she was america's top diplomat a.p. analysis of these schedules find more than half of the people who got a meeting with hillary clinton when she was secretary of state or a phone call with her when she was secretary of state who were themselves themss outside the government more than half of them either gave directly to the clinton foundation or did so through groups and companies. >> is there any perspective on this? i mean the other secretaries
8:05 pm
of states didn't have foundations to that extent. how hard is it to get an interview with the secretary of state. it's hard for you and you covered state for a while. how hard is it for a civilian to walk in and get to talk to john kerry or hillary clinton? >> sure, well, it's much easier if you have given 5 to $10 million to the clinton foundation and you asked about what is the context? the context here is that the associated press report comes at a time of mounting questions about whether the clinton state department maintained an appropriate distance from the clinton foundation. when she became secretary of state, when barack obama asked hillary clinton to serve in his administration. the obama white house made hillary clinton sign an ethics agreement that stipulated that she would maintain a healthy distance from the clinton foundation is that the same paper that said she wouldn't use private emails for government business? is that the same day? did she sign them both at the same time? >> she are checking.
8:06 pm
>> appearance is pay for play as donald trump would put it. now let's turn to the foundation which you know a lot about. they spent, the clinton foundation, $21 million just in 2014 alone on travel. that's 8% of the total receipts that would mostly private jets where bill and hillary clinton were whipping around all over the place, correct? >> my understanding is, having looked at this, the clinton foundation doesn't have its own airplane. it's own jet plane. they are largely dependent on donors and others who are friends of the clintons and there is evidence that bill clinton as former president used the same one rich guy's airplane, something like 15 times in a 10-year period or 25 times in a 10-year period and so but we can safely assume that no former president of the united states and no former first lady of the united states has ever really lacked for transportation. >> they rented their planes
8:07 pm
and, you know, for security reasons, also, is he a former president and she is secretary of state. that's a lot of money. overall, charity navigator, by the way, which is the watchdog of all the american charities, they don't -- they don't process the clinton foundation anymore because they say it's not in the model of a regular charity. but we do know that in 2014 from the irs, that 79% of the donations were used on charitable for charitable purposes. that's low. there is another estimate that puts it closer to 88%. there is no question that the clinton foundation was able to operate for a long time without really close scrutiny of what it was up to. and now that scrutiny has come. and now we see former president clinton himself saying that if his wife is elected president, he will step down from the clinton foundation. a lot of things will change. they won't accept corporate
8:08 pm
and foreign money and so on and so forth. the "boston globe" has already called in an editorial last week for the clinton foundation to cease accepting funds immediately and if hillary clinton wins the white house to shut down all together because as the newspaper put it in its editorial the foundation is just too much of a conflict of interest. >> they are not going to appoint a special prosecutor. loretta lynch won't do that. >> doubtful. >> it's 100 percent it's not going to happen. president obama doesn't want to do that and go against his own party. on the email front we have is it legal analyzing what this judicial watch thing is is there anything knew on that? the voters have headache on foundation email. every day there is something else. and then, you know, hillary doesn't seem to be that concerned about it anything new on the email front? >> there is lots that's new on the email front. the fbi uncovered 15,000 new documents. >> yeah. that was earlier in the week. >> right. and we have just seen judicial watch release 725
8:09 pm
emails, again, including some that hillary clinton failed to turn over and yours truly reported on this network that the chief operating officer for the clinton foundation was calling secretary clinton's chief of staff during a two year period at least 150 times. there is clearly perhaps an unhealthy relationship between clinton state department and clinton foundation. to your point about the headache of the voters, bill, you're quite right that to the viewer at home, who keeps hearing about foundations and emails and some that were turned over and investigations and so on, it is to them a kind of a farago of stuff. and already hillary clinton has a solid reputation in this country with the voters whereby three quarters regard her as dishonest and untrustworthy. i'm not sure that translates to corrupt. that might be the avenue that donald trump can play successfully. we also have to ask the question you mentioned this one word in your talking points memo, independents
8:10 pm
huge people likely to vote in america remain likely persuadable. >> again, there is so much fog surrounding all of this. look, voters, i think, know generally, what both candidate stands for. james rosen, everyone. thank you. >> thank you, bill. >> next on the run down, will the latest information about secretary clinton help donald trump? then, later, "time" magazine says social media is creating a cull purr of hatred in the u.s.a. hatred in the u.s.a. is that true? every day starts better with a healthy smile. start yours with philips sonicare, the no.1 choice of dentists. compared to oral-b 7000, philips sonicare flexcare platinum removes significantly more plaque. this is the sound of sonic technology cleaning deep between teeth. hear the difference? get healthier gums in just 2 weeks vs a manual toothbrush and experience an amazing feel of clean.

8:14 pm
klein political editor for abc news. your assessment of the foundation story tonight, mr. klein, does it help trump? >> if this campaign is about donald trump, donald trump is on a path to losing. if the campaign is about hillary clinton, he has the potential path to winning and getting back in the conversation. so, this story touches on so many elements of clinton's vulnerabilities. transparency, conflicts of interest. questions of honest and trustworthiness. it's a story that's going to develop the next couple of months before the election. i think trump is smart to focus on it and pound it through as many different avenues as he can before november 8th. >> just to reiterate, doctor, the headline in the subordinated press half the people granted interviews with hillary clinton one on ones don't thetad significant money to the foundation. that doesn't look good, does it? >> no. and this is a legitimate issue. the emails are will he g-8 mat. the clinton foundation is legitimate. the question i have is how many people are even
8:15 pm
persuadable at this point. >> 8%. >> there are very few undecided voters. i don't know what trump gains over the long run except whipping up his supporters and maybe increasing their turnout. >> well, if you are donald trump though, you want to take the heat off you, do you not? i mean, you want the press to give her the baseball bat on the head instead of him. so i think by doing that trump becomes the crusader for justice and you forget about the other foibles that he is engaged in, right? that's a strategy. >> bill, how you can get a lower score on hon hontd and trustworthiness than either one of these candidates has? you can reinforce. >> maybe mr. klein cedes my point here. trump is under pressure almost daily from the press who hates him. now this gives him a little bit of a reprieve because now they have to go over for a day or two although they
8:16 pm
won't on some networks and focus on hillary clinton maybe was selling access to her office. so that gives donal trump a breather does it not. >> people breathing easier are the rank and file republicans. many of them want to support donald trump but need to find a message to get behind. as long as is he stuck in controversies about what he is saying and who he is insulting with and fighting with and side issues and distractions even like some issues immigration are divisive. hitting hillary clinton is not divisive. dr. sabato is right there. are a lot of legitimate questions that hillary clinton has not put herself out there to answer. her dismissal dismissal last night what's some more emails? she said publicly she released all of the emails that had to do with actual work at the state department. so even acknowledging that there are additional emails like that is damaging. it adds up to a really bad perception. >> but it only adds up, doctor, if you are paying attention because hillary clinton comes off relaxed and comes off, look, i didn't do anything wrong.
8:17 pm
i always will fall back on the fbi failing to recommend an indictment. look my emails were boring. i was just doing yoga or whatever she was going to tell you. i think she is smart to do that because, again, people are not locked in. they don't really know. i'm not being condescending here but you have got to pay attention to this and it's not easy to pay attention to, doctor. >> yes. it's complicated unless there are hidden bombshells that we're going to find out now that we didn't know about. i kind of doubt it because the fbi has already looked at all of these. and then recommended no prosecution to the justice department. i agree with you when she is flippant about it, of course it enrages republicans. for democrats it relaxes them. she knows they don't care anyway. >> is that a good thing, mr. klein, that you sore partisan that you don't care what your candidate does? i don't know if that's a good thing. >> it's not very inspiring
8:18 pm
but that's the reality of this race. this is going to be a race against two very unpopular candidate. drive up each other's negatives. try to drive out their own bases. this story puts hillary clinton on the defensive. the best that she and her team can argue is that there is a lot of smoke but no fire. as more smoke grows it becomes more to do that. the idea of a bombshell, smoking gun very unlikely to be in the email. >> the email thing. the clinton foundation thing you already have your little bomb. half the people got access to it that gave to the foundation. >> you don't know about official actions that resulted in that. but, again, that's smoke. >> do we really have to know though, i mean, if you are the president and say hey, i'm coming to the white house but, first, give mean to whatever, i mean, you know, you can't do that. you just can't. >> you are exactly right. there were safeguards that james rosen talked about that were supposed to have been in place to prevent that even the perceptions of conflict of interest. the fact that the foundation
8:19 pm
is saying they won't accept clinton donations why did you do it while she was in secretary of state. >> i expect donald trump to really go to town all of this. the first debate and to put her on the defensive every second about these kinds of controversies. >> yes. and he will be helped in one respect. a lot of people think the press is totally biased against him. you wait and see the quality and quantity of questions to clinton about the emails and the clinton foundation and also about her resistance to having a press conference. it's been, what, seven months no press conference. >> all right, gentlemen. thank you very much for a good debate. "time" magazine saying the net creating a cull purr of hatred in america. we will get both sides. is it legal investigating a federal judge ordering hillary clinton to answer questions about her emails in writing. what is that all about? those reports after these messages. here we are! you don't always use your smartphone to like something. how is it?

8:23 pm
personal story segment tonight. walking around the streets of new york city i estimate that 80% of people are either talking or texting on their phone all the time. i mean, they can't stop. cyberspace addiction is everywhere. this week "time" magazine cover story says that social media has created a cull temperature of hate because people known as trolls use cyberspace to smear and harm anyone they want. that includes giving out personal information that's known as docking. the key question is there a rise in hate because of social media booth who teaches at depauw university. dr. keith ablow psychiatrist and fox news analyst. dr. ablow, first, is hatred rising because of social media? >> absolutely, bill. you know, you and i have spoken about this before. the internet is the medium
8:24 pm
and marshall said in 1964 the median is the message. the internet invites people into it anonymously it does so he by anonymous technological filter and therefore it short circuits empathy. it favors people who lack empathy, number one, and it threatens to turn just regular folks into less empathetic people as well. so it's doing that in a two-fold way. not just through bullying. but, after all, isis and the like, used the internet to recruit. why? why is it seemingly so easy? people are depersonalized and dehuman mizeed by the internet. >> let's take the personal first and wyden it out to the journalism community. dr. booth, you know this less i had jones who was in ghostbusters? >> yeah. >> the actress, right? >> yes. >> people opt internet actually almost broke the
8:25 pm
woman, almost gave her a nervous breakdown because of all the attacks that she had to endure. she finally got off it. all right. but it harmed her dramatically. and the people who did it did it out of fun. spite. i mean, this woman has never done anything to anybody. she was just in a movie. and when i say that it was sickening. >> yeah. no. it's absolutely horrible. i'm going to have to say i don't think social media is the cause of hatred. i think hatred has always existed. people have always hated each other. social media maybe brings it out in certain ways but i don't think you can play the technology. >> doesn't it make it more acceptable? didn't there used to be social boundaries social boundaries. >> how when can when you can destroy a human being on social media? there is a boundary? where is the boundary on that. >> certainly i'm not saying there aren't exceptions to this. i'm not saying there aren't
8:26 pm
cases where people take it to the exstroo elm and act horrible bhi. of course there were. it would be ludicrous to say there weren't. social media itself is not the problem. social media can be used for incredibly positive things just as much negative things. >> that's true. you about i think you are diminishing the problem trolls in norway are little leprechauns who run around. on the internet they are vicious people to go after and we will probably be trolled tonight, individuals smearing them in the worst possible ways there is no regulation, they can't stop it? >> they can't stop it, and respectfully, what dr. booth misses is that there is plenty of data suggesting that people who use social media more suffer psychological problems more. and one of them is a decrease of empathy and a lack of connectedness. remember, the internet cavuto its teeth on adult entertainment. the lack of humanity has been built in from the
8:27 pm
beginning. this coaxes people to be less human. there isn't a person alive who is more human because they use the internet or social media more. it's psychologically impossible for that to be the case. even if it points out that this they are getting information on this and comawn indicating with old friends on it. that seems to be something that's that have been but i get your point. my point is that there is so much garbage on it and garbage finds its way out into the legitimate media you know, and with the destruction of gawk kerr with the destruction of hulk hogan one is down many 50 to take its place. mainstream media quote this stuff. don't blame me i saw it on social media it's like nobody is safe. who is safe, dr. booth, from this? who? who is safe? >> well, i mean, i think it
8:28 pm
depends on how you're defining safety here. >> whose reputation is safe? whose? >> no one's. >> anyone's reputation safe. >> no one's. >> of course someone's reputation can be safe. >> if somebody wants to destroy you. >> they the that social media is becoming the counsel hall. adult entertainment made the grask novel. adult entertainment -- when jones get the pain inflicted on her i'm just staggered. i'm going to give the last word. >> facebook liar it asks to you present the happy face to have 4,000 friends and they are not. and the extension of that is simply that it allows big
8:29 pm
liars to lie in very vicious ways. we have no way to control it and dr. booth is being apologist for it in this case. >> i'm not going to go that far. i respect the doctor's point of view. but children bullied on the internet, children, high school kids, it's staggering. >> i can't say that everyone on facebook is a liar. it doesn't make any sense. >> all right. >> there is almost 2 billion people on facebook. a third of the world are liars. >> it coaxes them to lie. thank you for very provocative segment. some celebritiesousing social media. is it legal on a federal judge ordering hillary clinton to answer email questions in writing. we hope you stay tuned to those reports. i love that my shop is part of the morning ritual around here. people rely on that first cup and i wouldn't want to mess with that. but when (my) back pain got bad,

political angle. it's like politics is just like flood water. it follows the path of least resistance and poisons everything. if you sneeze that is a microaggression against the environment. we keep sneeze it's a microaggression to the environment. we keep putting politics into everything. why can't a president -- >> do you think the poor folks in louisiana who got hammered care whether the president was there or not? >> maybe it helps them, gives them emotional support. >> trump was down there. some say it shamed president obama. he had to go down after trump visited, do you believe that? >> i don't think he should have had to. he's not running for re-election. it's a red state. it's dopey people who cling to bibles and guns. he should have sent james taylor down there. things happen when you're on vacation. in this case it was the riots and the flooding. at least it wasn't an american

getting beheaded by a terrorist caught on video. >> that was last year. >> oh it happened? >> yes. see, i don't know that people care whether or not the politicians go down and feel their pain but i admit the president should have -- it's not tough to give up -- >> they only care if it's a republican who doesn't. >> that's right. bush was late when katrina got hammered. >> the media. ryan lochte. he is the guy that got drunk and then they trashed the bathroom and then they made excuses and then they were caught in a lie. sponsors dropping him all over the place. >> the sponsors have to do that. >> really? >> i think he's taking a disproportionate beating, this guy. first of all, he was liquored up. there was a language barrier. he did have a gun pointed at him. it's not like he said he was shot at on the tarmac somewhere in the foreign country. give the guy a break. >> you're a little sympathetic
8:52 pm
but still say he should lose endorsements? >> yes. one endorsement he can maybe count on -- it all started with a bathroom break. he has something -- maybe he can endorse depends or something, adult diapers. >> probably won't happen. you know who benefited from this is gutfeld. he picked up the speedo endorsement. >> that is true. i wear them backwards. for reasons i can't get into medically. i do not think he should lose his endorsements. i'm not sure what he did wrong. >> he lied about it. >> everybody should not have an enendorsement. we all lie. don't we? >> he lied to his mother. >> not like that. >> he lied to his mother. the olympics depresses me. the people are way too good-looking. whenever i'm around olympians i feel like a one. >> that's why you got the speedo endorsement, for the regular folks to wear the bathing suits. >> that's why i'm on cable news. i'm a 6. >> i don't know what that means. >> he was liquored up. bad things happen when you get

bull. great britain won 67 medals with a population of 65 million. usa 121 with a population of 320 million. do the math. not about math, paul. china and india, far more people than america. it's about excellence and will to win. the usa still has it. and that was the point of the memo. not one-upping countries like yours which did very well. major greg mushg, us air force. liberty and will will work in synergy and have created the greatest nation in history. canada won more medals per capita. i noticed the same thing you did. minority athletes achieved mightily clearly demonstrating that all americans can be successful. steve zinser, ohio. i consider you a superb interviewer, but each time you talk with trump it seems you

assume the role of an older brother bestowing insight on a younger brother. first of all, donald is older than i am. my interview style is debate heavy. that is, i put forth opinions and challenge the guest to knock them down. different than the traditional q & a the hard-nosed people do. michael gates, massachusetts, why would hillary clinton come on "the factor" and face hard questions like trump. because she'd reach tens of millions of voters who are skeptical of her. peggy, south pittsburgh, tennessee. bill, could you have possibly been more obnoxious to trump last night? are you talking to me? jimmy doyle. oregon. why is it so important to know trump's strategy to curb violence in the cities? i am glad he didn't tell you. bob, fernandina beach, florida. your toughness with trump did him a favor, helped him prepare

for the debates. for the record i brought the same kind of questioning to president obama that i did to trump. trying to get as much specific information as possible so you can know their plans. that's what we do here. noah, ft. myers. just became a premium member. why? because you aggravate people, o'reilly, and i like that! you sound like my kind of guy, noah. welcome aboard. finally tonight, the tip of the day. one of my college pals, terrence mcgowan has led a fascinating life. small-town cop, marine corps captain. fbi agent. he will not retire. as an old guy he went back to iraq and afghanistan working in the private sector. his new book "the silence of war: an old marine in a young marine's war" comes out today. he tells some amazing tales that will keep you turning pages. i wrote the forward for the book.
8:59 pm
even though mcgowan doesn't deserve it but i'm loyal to my old friends who write good books. check out "the silence of war." check out the fox news factor website which is different from bill o'reilly.com. name and town if you wish to opine. word of the day, do not be persnickety. you all know what that means. but there is a traditional meaning to it that you might want to look up. probably not. now, excellent weather here in the northeast. so, i am going to take a few days, resting up for the brutal campaign that will ramp up in september and october. i'm going to be working around the clock on that. we will be on it with our special brand of analysis and no spin facts, no endorsements here, no -- you know, favoritism only comes when issues are stronger on each side. that's the only time. so i will miss you guys for a few days.
