we'll have that for you tomorrow. again, thanks for watching us tonight. i'm bill o'reilly. please remember that the spin stops here. you.e definitely looking out for breaking tonight, more names are joining a quickly growing list of democratic mayors from some of america's biggest towns all digging in their heels and vowing to fight president-elect donald trump on his pledge pledge to crack down on the sanctuary cities. welcome to "the kelly file." i'm megyn kelly. the issue of immigration took center stage with the president-elect renewing his promise to deport the illegal immigrants convicted of crimes to clean up the america's streets and to remind on the first day of my term of office my administration will cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities. tonight the number of the cities

vowing to defy president-elect donald trump has grown to a dozen. our next guest says his opposition has to do with much more than his stance on immigration. with us tonight, javier gonzalez, democratic mayor of santa fe, california, along with katrina pearson. mr. mayor great to have you here. >> it's santa fe, new mexico. >> sorry. it's been that kind of a day. so explain to us, if donald trump decides to defund the city, which you get 2% of your funds from the federal government, how are you going to defie that. you need that money, right? >> it's a long way before that happens. and the important conversation is how do we go forward to create a unified effort to address the broken immigration center at the federal level. it's wrong to penalize cities

who have creating opportunity for all citizens. >> you know the beef. it's creating opportunities they say for illegal immigrants who should not with here and in far too many cases create violent crimes. >> let's talk about that. in santa fe we prioritize going after people in our community who commit violent crimes. the number one priority of law enforcement in every local community is to keep their community safe. you go after people who want to do harm whether they're documented or not documented, we're going to go after them. >> but it's a magnet, it's a magnet for would be criminals because they think they have a better shot in a city like santa fe than a city who is going to crack down on the presence of undocumented immigrants. >> study after study have shown that sanctuary cities do not lead to an increase in crime. this is a broken federal system. people are living in our communities peacefully, lawfully want to do to achieve the

american dream. if we fix the federal immigration system, the cities won't have to take this position to protect our cities. >> as you know, these guys can't get any immigration reform done. it hasn't happened. president donald trump is saying on his first day he's going to cancel the federal funding to the sang rare cities. what people think about when they think of the sanctuary t happened y think of the case to her family where her husband and her sons were murdered by somebody who should have been deported but was left there thanks to a sanctuary city policy. they think about kate steinle, the i.c.e. detainer request wu not cooperated with and a young woman was killed. you can understand why americans say we're done, we understand, we were empathetic to the plight of imlegal immigrants who come here in a well-meaning way at first but now we're done because too many people have been hurt.

>> the violent crimes are horrific and no one should justify those actions. but the truth is look at communities like santa fe where we've had the policies in place since 1999. we're marked as a city creating jobs because of entrepreneurship. we've been a welcoming diversified city -- >> how do you enforce a sanctuary nature of the city? in other words, do you not ask about immigration status on arrests? how do you enforce that? >> we don't ask people what their immigration status is. >> let's walk through that. if a police officer pulls over somebody who is in the country illegally and let's say he's got somebody who an illegal immigrant what's created crimes, and he doesn't ask. then he's lost a tool he could use against this prior convict of deportation thankts's not the

process that happens. if a police officer pulls someone over for a minor traffic offense, they'll do what they do with everyone else. if that person is tagged, then 100% they'll contact i.c.e. and -- >> if they're tagged. if they're not tagged because he's been arrested in santa fe and you guys never ask about immigration status, you lose a tool to go against him. what if he loses the criminal case but you could still get rid of him. five arrests for felonies but has a great lawyer, keeps getting off. you never identify him as an illegal immigrant and he keeps saying in santa fe. >> since we've been a safe city, nothing has shown that we've had a rise in violent crime. >> how long has it been? >> 1999. >> no rise at all? >> people are coming out of the shadows. they're participating in our community. they're sharing information with law enforcement because these

families want to make sure they're living in a safe environment. so we can go to the most negative things that are conjured up during a campaign. it's time to govern. we're not in the campaign anymore. we have a republican incoming president, a republican congress. they've talked over and over again about fixing our immigration system. they need to do that first. >> that would address a lot of this. they haven't shown any ability. i want to bring in katrina pearson along with eric guster. mr. mayor, if you wouldn't mind standing by because i want to get your thoughts on it. katrina his point is that since they became a sanctuary city they haven't seen an yun tick in violent crime. for them this is not a problem. >> it's still against the law. the studies show in 2014 over an eight-month period 8,000 criminally convicted illegal immigrants were release into the population. this is the one area that federal government does have the jurisdiction.

it's the responsibility to protect the citizens of this country and no woun should have been violating federal laup. if that had been anybody else, they would have been in trouble. >> eric? >> these people need to be protected from trump and possibly his irrational types of leadership. beuse these people are living their lives, they're participating in the process and are being great citizens, well great members of our community. >> some are but some aren't. that's the problem. >> yes. but many are. >> but we can cherry pick -- >> hold on. let eric finish and then i'll give it to you. >> we need to concentrate on the people doing great things. if they're committing violent crimes, they're deported. but what katrina is quoting with, you're talking about traffic violations. those are not bad crimes. >> katrina, what people like the mayor here would say is when you

have sanctuary city it encourages reporting of crimes among people who are undocumented who otherwise wouldn't report because they're afraid they're going to get, you know, deported? >> except that it doesn't. i mean the whole point is here the entire rule of law is being ignored. we have laws in this country and just because you haven't done anything yet doesn't mean you get to just take a pass on that. and american citizen, there's in catch and release system for american citizens. and to your point, this is a problem because criminals have been released back into this country as reported on fax news that have been shown that this administration has released thousands of even violent criminals back into our population. what about jamel shaw, kate steinle, the list goes on. >> mr. mayor, speak to that, the fact that this is illegal, that this is just, you know, it's not -- they've broken the law and so how can you violate the law and say we're going to flout

it and you can stay here. >> this is a broken federal immigration system that if the congress had the courage to fix this wouldn't be an issue. >> you're accepting reality is your point? >> we want people in our community to live law firmly, to be full productive citizens of our community. and the evidence and all of the data shows that there hasn't been a spike in crime rates. >> you speak of santa fe. we don't know if that's true in the other sanctuary cities. eric, the will among this particular congress controlled now by the republicans and this particular president-elect republican is not going to be on the side of cities like santa fe. you tl me whether they're really prepared to deprive the cities of their federal funding. >> they're not prepared to do that. that would with a disaster for people who supported them as well as others. what the cities have to do is make sure they stand together against this type of abuse. because this is a civil rights violation. when you're talking about people

being deported who have not broken the law, who have great members of our community and really contributing to the american treem. it's a shame they want to do that. >> i'll give you the final waor, cat. >> the people are tired of this. they're tired of people coming to this country, draining resources and everything else that comes along with it. and we have to fight for the kids like jasmine gonzalez, a 10-year-old here in texas who was raped, stabbed in the chest and thrown in a ditch to die by someone who was in this country illegally. we have to protect our own citizens. if we can't do that we're here for nothing. >> thank you all so much. appreciate it. also tonight, a new free speech showdown on a major college campus see what happened when campus police showed up in force to block jim shapiro from speak. the clinton campaign blamed

james comey and then the electoral college for their loss but their newest excuse beats them by a mile. the trump campaign has a secret weapon in helping them find the voters that made a difference for them. you will meet him in a kelly file exclusive. one of the biggest upsets in history. don't miss this. >> it's remarkable what they've done. the most interesting guy in the

i wanted to know where my family came from. i did my ancestrydna. the most shocking result was that i'm 26% native american. i had no idea. it's opened up a whole new world for me. ♪ and like any skill, credit is a skill. you have to learn to walk before you can run. getting the experian app for free is a great place to start. it gives you access to your experian credit report alerts about changes in your credit... and customer service support to help answer your questions. so you can learn to be better. start building your credit skills today for free. download the experian app right now. experian®. be better at credit.

breaking tonight, exactly one week since president-elect donald trump's historic upset election victory and some top democrats offering a new explanation for what went wrong. it was the fault of the voters. well, i mean, i guess, right, but not choosing hillary. one former clinton campaign staffer saying white women did not vote for hillary clinton because they're misogynists. >> massage any is a real thing. we as a society react poorly to women seeking positions of power. >> that's one way to look at it. on the other hand, pollster

grange luntz asked a group of voter to do their own postmortem for democrats >> across america you had tens of thousands of people opposing this election. they claim trump is a racist, they claim trump is a sexist and yet you all voted for him. what's wrong on? >> they're behaving like children >> behaving like children. >> yes because they're not getting what they want, they're throwing a tantrum. >> we're not electing someone to be a sunday schoolteacher. it's about the economy. >> marc thiessen is a fox news contributor and american enterprise institute scholar and matt benton, former assistant to president clinton. it's because women's internalized massaisogyny, you d go that way. what do you think about it, matt? >> i've been around some close losses at times and i was there

when al gore loss and people were blaming that on wearing too much makeup in the debate and sighing too much. that was annoying. >> but people's search for answers when they lose close elections, particular ones that they expected to win as of 9:00 on election night, there are a lot of people in the clinton campaign casting around for answers. you're going to see a lot of those kinds of explanations. >> there's no question that there was some sexism involved in the race and the that was to be expected given that we had the first female nominee in a major party. but to attribute her loss to white women being sexist pigs is a little confusing when you had a candidate who even as president obama said didn't work as hard as he did, didn't go to all of the counties, didn't drive out all of the voters in places where margin really mattered. >> i think the democrats have a

big problem which is there are zero electoral votes in the state of denial which is where they are right now. hillary clinton did not lose among women, white women because of internalized misogyny. she lost because most american women think she should be in prison. after james comey came out with his decision -- this is a fact. after he came out with the decision, the washington post did a poll. 56% of american women thought she should have been prosecuted. fox news poll on the eve of the election, 61% of american women thought he was dishonest. women don't vote for other women who they think are dishonest and belong in prison. >> they didn't think trump was honest either but they voted for him. >> he didn't belong in prison. >> was it the prison thaet, the criminal threat against her? i read an interesting article the other day that suggested she was losing the voters before director comey came out. they were starting to go trump,

he was getting the third party voters at the last minute who were like, never mind, i'm not going to vote against this guy, who else, oh, trump. that it wasn't -- you couldn't attribute it to her alegged criminality but what do you think? >> i think that's probably right. i mean, look. the data from the election has been proven to be a little suspect. we'll have to dig through it to see which was right. i do think for the most part these women were breaking at the last minute or breaking sooner than that based on economic concerns. they were -- this was a howl of anger and anxiety and they decided they wanted somebody new. >> and all she talked about was how bad she was. she didn't push her own message on why she would help them. >> absolutely. >> that's it. i got to run. i have somebody that's really interesting. an insiders take on how mr. trump won. the man behind the digital

operation now credited for helping find and turn out the voters who made the difference. here now in a kelly file clues skif, the digital director of the trump campaign. great to see you, brad. this is fascinating. >> thank you. >> you are the one person who knows the answer to this question. >> yeah, the data. >> how did trump win? >> i think first you have to say it started with leadership. and that was with jared kushner and trump aillowing us -- >> jared is married to ivanka. >> he was instrumental in bringing the trump team down to all parts of leadership. steve bannon was there. the first time in history the data ran from tv buying to where we were on the ground to all of the different operations. then having the data right there

we could see where the persuadable targets are, everything we needed to know. >> when you first saw we're in play in michigan, what showed you that? >> well i think there's a good example from pennsylvania and michigan. we played in some other spots also as i started to see data and track it. we were making several thousands of calls, web tracking and building models and universes. what we can start to see is we're in play in michigan an pennsylvania. let's buy these voter targets. we started to see that move our direction. and by the friday before the election i had predicted that we were going to win 305al results. >> come on. >> yeah. the early voting was showing the data that where we were hitting targets and where we wanted to see the voters turn out were showing up for us. >> was the reaction by the others was what? >> the thing was stay around

brad's office, he feels happy and giddy. >> you feel good when you leave brad's office rchltd the data doesn't lie. i had some great data scientists, teams of them putting the data in a way that could be consumed so we could understand where we need to target people. >> here's the interesting thing about brad. he's political operative. you're from country kansas, as you put it. >> born in topeka, kansas. >> so what gave you the skills to, you know, get a man elected president? >> i think some of that is just blessing. and i came out of college in the early '90s. that was a great time to exit school and get a job in the dot-com world. i had a degree in business degree but there was no one with internet degrees in marketing. i've spent 15 years build a company i started. >> and jared and ivanka hired

you. >> ivanka and eric hired me for the real estate website. >> so how closely connected with the family have you been? >> i think at this point i have a very good relationship with them. they value hard work, they value loyalty, they value success. >> results. >> and results. and that's what i wanted to bring. >> where were you on election night? >> i was in trump tower and eventually in the apartment. >> in front of you computer. >> yes. >> did you know before others we got this in. >> friday i was 90% sure and sunday night i was sure but tuesday morning i knew so much, i had to wait. >> did you know about wisconsin? >> my one mistake was wisconsin and colorado. however as you can see the media buys, we had a good strategy with the data. >> do you know why she lost and he won? other than strategy, do you know what it was that turned it? >> well, i think that, you know,

that's a good -- i think change. >> was there an event like the comey announcement that changed the number -- >> in the numbers, i was flying with mr. trump that night. i should him the numbers before that announcement that we were moving in that way. people were ready for change and something new. they were moving that way. >> what about ach the access hollywood tape? did they move the other way? >> all campaigns have ebb and flows along the way, ups and downs. the progress, reassess your data, remove and build new universes that now we have new targets. you move, you're in the bag, you move the people in and out. >> now what are they going to do with you? is it true that you worked for ted cruz for a little while? >> no, i did not work for ted cruz. this is my first ever campaign. >> what does president-elect

trump do for you? >> that's a president-elect trump question. >> you want to work for the administration? >> i never was a politico. that wasn't my goal. my goal is to be a megaphone. >> but you're a republican. >> i'm a republican. >> they're writing your name down in every republican county right now. >> and i think science that was missed in the previous campaigns was take the digital, mix tv, ground game and budget. jared and i oversaw where the budget data was. >> you shouldn't give all of this away. you should hold some of it inside to make money doing it for others. >> just saying it isn't as easy as doing it. >> congratulations. >> congratulations on your book. >> thank you very much. congratulations on your one. amazingly done, right? up next, a new free speech

showdown on a college campus. see what happened when campus police showed up to kweep ben shapiro from speaking at the university. we'll talk to ben about how he got around the silence. >> keep me personally out. wiser protocol keeping me wiser protocol keeping me specifically when a moment spontaneously turns romantic, why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas for pulmonary hypertension, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease

one week ago donald trump won the presidency of the united states prompting emotional reaction nationwide. in anticipation of possible tension on campus, university of virginia president teresa sullivan sent a message to faculty and students urging junety. now she faces backlash for daring to mention thomas jefferson in her e-mail who, by the way, founded the school. trace gallagher has this story from our west coast newsroom. trace? >> in her post election e-mail the president of the university of virginia argued that students have the responsibilityf creating the future that they want for themselves. and in the wake of the

contentious election president sullivan was trying to unite students by citing thomas jefferson who wrote, quoting with university of virginia students are exactly the persons who are to succeed to the government of our country and to rule its future enmities within friendships and fortunes. but that quote drew a sharp response from professors and students, 469 of who who signed a letter to the president to ask her to reframe from quoting jefferson. the letter read in part, quoting, although some members of this community may have come to this university because of thomas jefferson's legacy, others of us came in here despite of it. this under mines the messages of unity, equality and inclusivity that you are attempting to convey. the professor who wrote the letter said it was meant to start a conversation of ways to be more inclusive. it certainly started a

conversation after comments from around the country came in as well as a quick response from president sullivan herself saying that quoting jefferson didn't mean she agreed with all of his actions and then the president went on to use his most famous quote, all men are created equal writing, those words were inherent lly contradictory but now a genuine quality today. and history buffs note that thomas jefferson was often quoted by martin luther king jr. >> you cannot make this stuff up. a tense scene unfolded on another campus hours ago when ben shapiro was prevented from stepping foot on to the campus of depaul university in chicago. he was invited by the young americans for freedom chapter attempting to defy a ban instituted against him in august when the university said that

shapiro was not welcome to speak on campus due to security concerns allegedly. here's how it unfolded. >> the bottom line is it's private property. proper procedures are not followed. >> am i to understand if we take three steps forward you're going to have me arrested? >> if you create a problem, yes. >> just to be clear, if i attempt to enter that hall right threw and sit down just to listen to somebody speak or engage in free speech you'll have me arrest snd. >> right now, yes, sir. >> i'm glad in a city that has some 4,000 shootings to this day, 30 members of security for a jewish guy. >> joining me now, ben shapiro. here we go again, ben. here we go again. time after time these college campuses won't even let you speak because you get shouted

down by intolerant people when you try to go and then they say it's a security concern. >> this one was actually amazing because there wasn't a protester in site. you had 30 security people. they internalized the rioters so well that they could reflect them back out to the world. they're tolerant of anything other than somebody giving a speech on the topic of free speech. >> say that again. >> the speech i was giving was about free speech and they were tolerant enough to ban it. >> it's unbelievable you were not allowed to speak about free speech at all. this is what modern day campuses have come to. not in all cases. you showed up there to make a point about free speech and you were arrested. does this have any public dollars coming its way? >> it's a proift university.

if i was a public university then i would have done so under my rights. once they made it clear that i would be arrested if i took two steps forward, what i did instead, christina skyped me into the lek chur hall and we told everybody in the lecture hall to get up and walk out and we walked over to a theater that was three blocks away and did the event anyway. >> what do kids, young adults say, do you know? >> they're just offended by anybody with a different view. i'm speaking tomorrow at university of wisconsin at madison. apparently big protests are planned because i'm pro-trump which is weird since i wasn't. >> you've been pretty critical of trump. and then they'll let controversial figures from the left come and speak, just not somebody who's got strong views from the right. good for you for trying.

thanks for being here. >> thanks. >> the answer to speech you do not like is less speech, it's more speech. an important principle. still ahead, acts of violence caught on camera following the presidential election. "the kelly file" takes a closer look. hillary clinton still under investigation by congress. where do we stand now on a possible prosecution. is that happening? governor mike huckabee and richard sock retas is next. >> because there's been a political election why should i

and just getting breaking news in now over the buyers. i came out earlier today that senator ted cruz went to trump tower and had a meeting there with president-elect trump in new york. and now the national political reporter jennifer jacobs for

bloomberg is reporting scoop, that's how she's put it, trump is discussing ted cruz for ag, for attorney general. that's interesting. not confirmed by fox but a possibility. why don't we ask somebody who might be in a position to know, governor mike huckabee. you used to run for president with both of these guys, something you all did together. tell me whether you think there's any chance that donald trump is considering ted cruz for ag. >> it would be a big shock for me. we all ran together but there was never a group hug that involved ted cruz. i would be very surprised if that was the case. this election thhas been made o surprises. >> do you think ted cruz would be a good choice for ag? >> he certainly served in the attorney general's office in texas. he's a brilliant constitutional lawyer.

many other gifts and quite frankly i think there are certain members of the republican senate, you know, that would be happy to confirm him because they wouldn't be in the senate and they haven't been that happy with him being there. >> back-handed compliment, i guess. >> they'll give him an unanimous consent. >> he's not the most popular senator that's clear, among his colleagues. we'll continue to watch that. let's talk about hillary. now we have president trump promising to put her in jail. several congressional investigations. what happens to that now? >> well, i think for hillary's sake there needs to be an investigation because if she's as innocent as she says, she needs to be exonerated. the only way that happens is with a full investigation. but there has been so many things about what she did, the recent revelation that the maid had access to her computer, the

smell of this is so bad that it takes a hazmat team to walk into the evidence. if she's innocent, let's prove it. if she's done things that violated national security, she lied to congress -- >> comey already said no. didn't we already go through this? >> no, we didn't. what he said is she didn't have intent but intent isn't part of the law. am i suggesting that i would like to see her incarcerated? absolutely not. >> do you think tt would blow some of the good will that trump goes into office with. he's trying to pull more people into the tent. republicans might love him but the independent answer democrd wouldn't. >> hillary clinton doesn't have to play by the rest of the rules that we do, and the 20-year-old kid that took an iphone picture of the sub, then we've got an

issue. joining us now with more, democratic strategist vich ard sock rety. >> first, congratulations on the book. i'm excited to read it. >> thank you very much. "settle mofor more". >> i want to settle for more. be on the show more that's the attitude i'm looking for. should she be prosecuted? what political capital must the republicans expend if they choose to go that way? >> the most important point is she's been cleared not once but twice by the fbi director, republican fbi director. if people want to prosecute her, i don't know what they want to prosecute her for. but i think that any attempt to continue this, to continue any kind of investigation is really an overreach and would backfire against the republicans. >> you know, the conventional

wisdom is if it hadn't been loretta lichbl or a republican attorney general there may have been a different result. do you think the republicans might take a chance and find out whether that's true? >> well, i don't think so. the way this works is that the fbi director -- the fbi investigates and the fbi director makes a recommendation. >> but if it's up to the ag, and if the ag is ted cruz, he might see it differently. >> the ag is never in a position to overrule the fbi director. if the fbi director came in and said maybe that would be a different thing. but mr. comey, a republican who is certainly no fan of hillary clinton's said there is no set of circumstances under which a reasonable prosecutor would prosecute this. i think we have to take him at his word. >> but the prosecutor is the ag, not the fbi director. so you never know if ted cruz gets in there and says i think it looks like a pretty good case. it could be interesting.

but we're ahead of ourselves with the ted cruz. it was more. great to see you. still ahead, reports of violent attacking spiking since the election. we asked trace gallagher to investigate and the results he found are next. >> [ bleep ].

well in the week since the election we have seen ♪ well, in the week since the election we have seen joy, regret and reports of something a little a uglier. there's been a rash of reports of attacks targeting supporters of both campaigns, including this incident of a man beaten in chicago, reportedly for being a trumpan supporter. >> you vote trump? you voted strum? yeah, he voted trump! yeah! >> trace gallagher has more from our west coast news room. >> reporter: megyn, 49-year-old david wilcox says the fact he supported trump didn't start the beating but made it worse. he said he was driving on the west side of chicago when a black sedan scraped the side of

his vehicle. wilcox says he made the mistake of saying, what does that have to do with this accident and the next thing he knew they were beating the blank out of him. five people punching and kicking his head. when they tried to steal his car, wilcox hung on and got dragged on a wild and dangerous ride. he was. finally flung off durin a sharp turn. listen to him. >> what's happening to america? you're supposed to be able to vote in peace. it is supposed to be part of our democracy. >> reporter: which is why jay christian adams and the public interest legal foundation has now sent two letters to the department of justice asking them to investigate this, calling it voter intimidation and a violation of the voting act.s the chicago police say the matter is being taken seriously, and it is not just trump supporters being bullied. watch what happens to an anti-trump protester at ohio state. >>o you don't have to compromis. >> you idiot! w
