5:00 pm
before ♪ ♪ yes i swear it's the truth ♪ and i owe it all to you ♪ because i had the time of my life ♪ "the o'reilly factor" is on. tonight -- >> what we all saw and heard on friday was donald talking about women, what he thinks about women, what he does to women. >> bill clinton was abusive to women. hillary clinton attacked those same women, attacked them viciously. >> it was, indeed, a vicious debate. but who won? and where does the presidential race stand right now? >> it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you would be in jail. >> that comment has left the left-leaning press outraged. bernie goldberg has some thoughts. >> where does columbus land? >> new york. >> more south.
5:01 pm
>> boston. >> also ahead, it's columbus day and watters is on it. >> i feel like i'm being tricked. caution. you are about to enter the no-spine zone. "the factor" begins right now. hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thank you for watching us tonight. the second debate, who won? that is a subject of this evening's talking points memo. hydra ma last night because donald trump was on the ropes. the vulgar tape and wall to wall reporting of it has the republican candidate in a very bad place but trump against all odds won the debate. he won because secretary clinton could not knock him out and after the first 30 minutes trump went on offense, regaining at least some momentum. here's how it went down.
5:02 pm
the debate opened with no hand shake. then, secretary clinton fired the first round. >> what we all saw and heard on friday was donald talking about women, what he thinks about women, what he does to women and he has said that the video doesn't represent who he is. but i think it's clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is. but it's not only women and it's not only this video that raises questions about his fitness to be our president. because he has also targeted immigrants, african-americans, latinos, people with disabilities, p.o.w.s, muslims and so many others. >> trump answered with a strategy he has used before. >> bill clinton was abusive to
5:03 pm
women. hillary clinton attacked those same women. and attacked them viciously. four of them here tonight. one of the women who is a wonderful woman, at 12 years old was raped at 12. her client, she represented got him off. >> the story here is that in 1975, an arkansas judge appointed hillary clinton to represent accused child rapist thomas taylor. counselor clinton was successful in raising doubt and taylor pled out to unlawful fondling of a child. serving just one year in jail. the victim, cathy shelldo appeared with donald trump just prior to the debate saying the treatment of clinton damaged her for life and then pounded home the theme that it makes her a hypocrite on the woman abuse
5:04 pm
issue. >> when hillary brings up the point like that and she talks about words i said 11 years ago, i think it's disgraceful and i think she should be ashamed of herself if you want to know the truth. >> mrs. clinton jumped on that saying that trump is never contrite. >> he never apologizes for anything to anyone. he never apologized to mr. and mrs. khan, the gold star family whose son captain khan died in the line of duty in iraq and donald insulted and attacked them for weeks over their religion. and he never apologized for the racist lie that president obama was not born in the united states of america. he owes the president an apology. >> mr. trump seized upon the obama reference to lob this grena grenade. >> michelle obama, i've gotten to see the commercials that they
5:05 pm
did on you. and i've got on the see some of the most vicious commercials i have ever seen of michelle obama talking about you, hillary. >> that reference is to the clinton/obama primary race of 2008 when mrs. obama said this. >> one of the things, the important aspects of this race is role modeling what good families should look like. and my view is that if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the white house. can't do it. >> so after about 30 minutes of personal attacks, trump was still standing, a win for him. then, came more personal attacks. >> if i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation because there's never been so many lies, so much deception.
5:06 pm
there's never been anything like it and we're going to have a special prosecutor. >> it is just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you'd be in jail. >> that quip about the e-mail situation angered some on the left. a cnn reporter compared it to something hitler and stalin might say. hystericals to say the least. we'll show you the clip later on. after about one hour, it was obvious that donald trump had done enough to survive, to live to fight another day. it's not that hillary clinton did anything poorly. but she has a tough road with the chaos overseas, impending collapse of obamacare, the e-mail fiasco and attachment to barack obama's policies with two thirds of the population believing the country is going the wrong direction. >> if she's president of the united states, nothing's going to happen.
5:07 pm
just going to be talk. >> but mrs. clinton does have a record in congress which he pointed out. >> 400 pieces of legislation have my name on it as a sponsor or co-sponsor when i was a senator for eight years. i worked very hard and was very proud to be re-elected in new york by an even bigger margin than i had been elected the first time. >> now, as the debate drew to a close, there were two things apparent to fair minded people. hillary clinton did not hurt herself and will be the front-runner but donald trump in a very difficult spot was able to stand his ground, defend himself and make some policy points that resonated. he's still in it and that in itself after all that happened over the weekend is a major victory for him. and that's the memo. next, reaction, krauthammer, goldberg and luntz and then

5:11 pm
continuing now with the lead story, analyzing last night's debate. joining us from washington, charles krauthammer. where am i going wrong? >> you're mostly right which in and of itself you'is a high poi. the reference to lincoln, that was essentially a play on the lloyd benson line. that was essentially him saying i knew abe lincoln. he was a friend of line and you are not abe lincoln. i thought that was extremely effective and appeared spontaneo spontaneous. >> it was. >> you brush it off as something concerning the left. when you threaten to put your opponent in jail, you have gone way over the line of political decency in this country.
5:12 pm
that's not hitler, stalin. that's banana rebubbpublic. >> i disagree. >> i have a thought. i want to finish it. we have had 250 years of miraculous transfer of power peaceab peacefully and consensually. the one thing we don't do is to put people in jail or execute them. in other countries, your life can be on the line in elections. and we had a long history you don't talk about that. the breach of that etiquette, of talking about personally order a special prosecutor, incidentally, the law wouldn't allow that. but nonetheless, you would be in jail, as if he's pre-judging it, is something that should never be done and another example of trump lowering the level of the discourse. >> i disagree because, number one, he has to play to a certain voter. all right? who does believe that mrs.
5:13 pm
clinton got away with a national security violation that no one else would have gotten away with. millions of those vote earls out there. so, yeah. you're right. he can't put anybody in jail if he's president. can't just sign an executive order but certainly would have the power to justice department would to reopen an investigation that the government deemed to be not credible. he does have the power to do that and i wasn't offended by that so much in the sense that i knew it was a quip off the top of his head which, you know, and i think it helped me. i really believe that helped him. >> you always defend trump saying he said "x." perhaps it was not the right thing to do. maybe it was -- >> you didn't believe he literally would put him in jail, did you? >> appealing and it's works for him. it's different than saying it's the right thing to do. >> charles. >> low point of the convention was the crowd saying, lock her up. >> okay. >> that's not the peace
5:14 pm
civility. >> we as you well know stayed out of the swamp. but you can't tell me that you thought that donald trump was saying, if i'm elected, i'm going to incarcerate this woman like i would do in an inquisition. he was making a point that there would be a special prosecutor, e-mail thing would be reopened because, again, many, many millions of americans feel that this was the fix was in. that another president, barack obama, made sure it wasn't an honest investigation did not take place. i hope we have a tradition in this country of honest investigations and that's how i took it. >> look. one of the presidents that we retroactively revere is gerald ford. in a situation with nixon who was clearly guilty and he understood it would heal the country and in america you don't put ex-presidents in jail.
5:15 pm
but here we can agree there's obviously way overstepping the line. he would have been impeached and all that and he probably would have been convicted. >> but there's a difference. >> it's understood in this country that you don't put the political losers in jail. >> it's a difference. it's more than political losers. in the watergate situation, the system worked. all right? the investigation led to wrongdoing on the part of richard milhouse nixon. what ford did and i support that as a historian, you're absolutely right. he said it doesn't get us any further as a nation to punish this man. so i'm going to pardon him. but this is different because this investigation and there's a lot of evidence to point to this was a fraud. it was a fraud because of politics. so if trump's going to go in and say i want an honest investigation, if i'm elected i will see it happens, i don't think that's a cheap shot thing. >> it's worse than a cheap shot thing and you're probably right
5:16 pm
it works and in one sense you could say, yes, this is allowing the justice to go ahead but the idea that you threaten your opponent with jail and he used the word jail, i didn't. it to me is a breach of the decency of our system where we don't do that -- >> all right. >> -- even where it might be warranted as in the nixon case. >> i will cede that already two sides to this story and i'm glad we had this debate because you'll see this nowhere else on television. >> that's right. that's why i'm here. >> you'll never see it. i stick to my guns. i don't believe that was an honest investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails and as an american citizen i do not want the highest levels of our government, the president, the attorney general and the fbi, to be in the tank on an investigation of this import. if i was president, i'd do the exact same thing. last word. >> look.
5:17 pm
i understand the will to do that. i simply believe that there are certain limits to political discourse. and to what you do to your opponent. and in this case, it was something that you -- have you ever heard a presidential candidate ever threatening another with that kind of legal -- he's done it with others. he said to the guy, owner of chicago white sox putting money -- >> cubs. >> he said he's got business things. he better watch out if i'm president. i don't like the threats either. >> that is not unique to him. that's what he is doing and that's a misuse of the powers of the presidency. >> all right. charles krauthammer. hysteria on the left. more hysteria of goldberg and watters. right back. 7 days ago, karen wasn't thinking about joining her daughter's yoga class. she was thinking about her joints. but now that she's taking osteo bi-flex, she's noticing a real difference in her joint comfort.

5:21 pm
looking at the world, the way it is. not the way you want it to be. the way it is. opinions divided over how well clinton and trump did last night. that's fine as long as the analysis is grounded in reality. as reported in talking points memo and discussed with charles krauthammer, after mr. trump quipped to put hillary clinton in jail if elected, one reporter said this. >> not to sound too corny but what makes this country different from countries with dictators in africa or stalin or hitler or any of those countries with dictators and totalitarian leaders is that when they took over they put their opponents in jail. >> no. they shot them. jail was -- not even in the equation. stalin, hitler? like this.

5:30 pm
. is debate moderators, they did okay. except >> i know that sequence of reporter martha raddatz in the role of hillary clinton because she was debatingéps wnñ:ptrump. she was. joining us now from north carolina, bernie goldberg. i do that. that's what i do. i mean, when we don't interview people traditionally, we say, hey, hey, come on. the army asked to get the civilians out of there. you should know better. in a debate, that's supposed to beez >> yeah. that jumped out at me, too.
5:31 pm
martha raddatz sounded not like a moderator when she did that but like a debater who was challenging donald trump. donald trump had just said he thought it was a bad idea to announce in advance that there's imminent attack on mosul, to rid the city of may7,c!t right. may be wrong. it is not a crazy idea. it's his opinion. and that it's not up to the by the way, if he made a factual mistake, she could challenge him and correct him. i have no problem with that.m zn it's not up to martha raddatz, the moderator, to challenge trump's opinion with white house opinions on the subject or pentagon opinions or both. she#ñqzk÷ shouldn't be channelle obama administration. >> i think she was channelling herself. she's an expert in this kind of thing. i work with her. i want everybody to know.
5:32 pm
>> hold on. hold on. she gave the opinions of the obama administration. whether it's the pentagon, the white house, whatever. she could have found or quoted non-partisan vé15uexperts who t that donald trump is right but she only chose -- >> i got it. i think she was speaking for herself and not channelling the opposition. but be that as it may, she should n't have done it. unless you change the debate÷da rules and much better, by the way, to have both political candidates challexar what they say rather than blatherring all day long about god knows what and then fact checked after the debate. i didn't think other than that, though, i didn't think they were -- you know, sometimes they cut trump off too quick len higfidu+hr guess and wasn't egregious, was íoeit? >> i agree with uf%syou.d as a matter of fact, let's stay on with martha raddatz for a second. she asked some tough questions of hillary clinton in the
5:33 pm
debate. she asked her if she was two faced because she had one opinion on certain issues privately which was different from her public position. so i didn't have a problem with that. here's what i did have a problem with. there was one questionv= that not asked that would have been a huge help for donald trump. because of the leaks, the wikileaks, it turns out that hillary clinton told some bankers that she has a dream, her words, of open borders in the hemisphere. well, you know what? >> and security. i mean, you know? terrorists. >> security. >> danced across.>hcf÷
5:34 pm
>> right. >> that was trump's responsibility and -- >> well -- >> he should have been on that. >> he blew it. he blew;)v he blew it. but that was in the news. and the moderators chose not to ask it. >> i know. >> if anybody in the audience wanted to ask it, i don't know. but it didn't come out. >> should have. absolutely. >> trump ultimately had the opportunity. and whatever reason -- >> he didn't remember. >> he had a lot of other stuff an f" we can try to get him on tomorrow and he'll say i can't remember everything. >> ?"nu that's true. the first half hour all about the trump tape and, you know, that was what the drama was. that people were going to see if he could stand up to the fire. do you think he did? >> well, he said the same thing over and over again. which was it was locker room talk. that's the only thing he could say. he said, i'm sorry. it wasnuy locker room talk. people are either going to buy that or they're not going to buy that. you know?
5:35 pm
>> but what's -- >> there was nothing else to do, press. >> right. i know you believe in bad behavior doesn't justify other bad behavior. >> right. >> politically, i don't know if that's a good idea or not. may not have been. you know what? 3ñ about time somebody it. what he did -- i'm notgihñr justifying anything he said. i want to make thateuh6m=1uqe clear. but it is perfectly legitimate in my mind any way to say what i did was wrong but what i did were words which is what he4v$r said. but i am not holding -- what he should have saidk"d is i'm not7 holding you accountable, mrs.vl what y did in a predatory sense. not talking about anything
5:36 pm
consensual and not holding you responsible for anything that he did unwelcome to women but i am holding you responsible because you tried to trash those women. he wasn't as articulate as i think he could have been on that but i think what he did say was a legitimate point, whether or ñ political point, we'll see. >> all right. >> i think it was a+zp point. >> bernie goldberg, %oñeverybod. :m u)u$ the world famous stylin sessions. how the regular folks saw the debate last night. watters trying to help christopher columbus. up ahead. red 97! set! red 97! did you say 97? yes. you know, that reminds me of geico's 97% customer satisfaction rating. 97%? helped by geico's fast and friendly claims service. huh... oh yeah, baby. geico's as fast and friendly as it gets.
