everything. thanks, everybody. that is it for this "special report." fair, balanced, and unafraid. "the o'reilly factor" starts up. we are in naples tomorrow. we will see you then. >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on tonight. >> the fake news, as donald trump said last night, it is a political witch hunt. the controversy over a report full of gossip and innuendo. tonight, "talking points" tells you what is really happening. >> we will repeal obamacare. >> republicans in congress take the first step in repealing obamacare. but will democrats find a way to block it? a factor investigation. >> what do you think president obama could have done better as president? besides the obamacare web site? >> bret: also, tonight, jesse watters in chicago asking americans what president obama could have done better. >> he could have worked on what the race relations a little bit

better. >> bill: caution, you are about to enter the "no spin zone" ." "the factor" begins right now. ♪ >> bill: hi, i am bill o'reilly. thanks for watching her tonight. what really happened in the cheap attacks on donald trump? that is a subject of this evenings "talking points" memo. i use the word "cheap," because of the media reports gossip, innuendo, and defamation, withot presenting evidence, that is cheap. is it not? it is imperative that our free press brief prayer and giving any kind of exposure to allegations that smear a person, any person, is wrong. it doesn't matter if those allegations are in a report or anywhere else. if there is no backer, no facts to indicate the allegations may have some credibility, they should not be published. i hope we all understand that. now, onto what happened to

donald trump. in september of 2015, someone hired a washington political research firm, fusion gps, to dig up dirt on mr. trump. taking the money, the company began its sordid quest. a few months later, some democrats who supported hillary clinton also began to take fusion for dirt. in june, 2016, fusion hired a retired british intelligence officer, christopher steele, to get that dirt. apparently, he talked to some russian operatives and began issuing a series of memos based on the gossip that he heard. in august of 2016, abc's brian ross reported yesterday, though salacious memos written by steele found their way to the fbi. then come on halloween, appropriately enough, far left magazine ran a story about the antidrug operation. the national media did not pick it up. to its creditors. one week ago, january 5th, president obama was briefed on

russia's effort to influence the u.s. election. and the anti-trump garbage was included and that intel briefin briefing. vice president biden said today that the president questioned why the gossip was even included in the briefing and he was not pleased. that is to mr. obama's credit. the next day, donald trump received the same intelligence from four senior u.s. intelligent cheats domain chiefs. that is when all hell broke rose. also, receiving information, eight congresspeople. paul ryan, nancy pelosi, mitchell macconnell, adam schiff, richard burke, and mark warren. a short time later, cnn received a leak that the salacious anti-trump stuff was presented to obama and trump. then, buzzfeed printed the salacious stuff. now, a bunch of the allegations have already been discredited. none confirmed.

none. yet, some argue that the public should be allowed to see all the garbage even though it certainly hurts the trump administration and the president-elect himself. so, you, as an honest american, must decide, do you want to salacious trash in the public square distributed by the media? do you? there are no rules anymore. allegations become convictions. gossip and innuendo become fact. standards on the internet and for much of the established media no longer exist. donald trump has denied all of the accusations, is angry, as we saw yesterday. and the long run, it is amerigo who should be angry. this kind of stuff is harming the fabric of our society, our political structure, and/or ability to evaluate information in a fair way. facts should be reported. baseless allegations paid for by political assassins should not.

unless credible evidence is presented to back them up. period. and that is the memo. now, to the top story reaction, we are pleased to have senator lindsey graham joining us from washington. >> thank you. >> bill: have you read those accusations? did you have them up for the story broke? >> senator mccain was given a copy of this in december after the election. i looked at it. he decided to turn it over to the fbi, said that was the right moves. i would tell your audience that you should view this with skepticism, suspicion, and that i'm very disappointed that we go into a new year with this garbage before us. there is plenty of things to disagree with trump about. this is not one of them. >> bill: george friend john mccain showed it to you, and you, then knew what this, i don't even know how to describe it, this operation operation th

trump, was doing. did you think it had any press worthiness? >> no. >> bill: none, zero. >> one, i didn't know the background of who did it. i learned something, this is why i should watch our show more. i didn't know the connection of the british guy to the attack -- >> bill: i'm glad you learned it. as a sitting senator, you read it. you didn't think that the present should have access to it? >> absolutely not. >> bill: okay. >> the first thing i thought of, we should all be suspicious of this because i wouldn't put it past the russians to plant the story. >> bill: of course they planted the story. of course they did. this guy was being paid, this bridget's intel agent -- trashing trump as much as they can. okay. now, when you saw this week that the story gets out and to cnn

today and put the story out but brought attention to the story, i want to be very clear, cnn didn't put out the salacious details, that was buzzfeed. but they brought attention to the story. when you saw that, what went through your mind? >> i didn't have any idea it was in the intel report. again, people in your business, got to find what is in the best interest of our country and thee that a report has been briefed by the president, there is no foundation if it's true or not, to me, seems to be a disservice. >> bill: if you are running a network, since fox news had this information, we talk to the reporter today who got it last summer, we did not put it out, that was a decision made by fnc. i think it was a right decision. do you? >> i am not in your business but i wouldn't put out anything -- >> bill: we didn't even mention, in any way, shape, or form. okay, let's get on to you and

donald trump. >> me and the donald. >> bill: you're not friends and that's all right. >> we are not enemies, either. >> bill: all right. so, russia, you have a great interest in russia. and you have been a little bit critical of trump trying to foster a relationship with putin. trump says it is better for us to be friends with putin. but if he doesn't play along, i'm going to be his worst enemy. do you see anything specifically that trump is doing wrong vis-a-vis vladimir putin? >> yeah, the first thing i would say, it has been hard for him to come to the conclusion that the russians hacked into -- >> bill: he has. >> it's been a long journey that reinforces the narrative and the minds of the russians at this guy wants to play ball. almost, he wants the relationship too much. here's what i prefer the president-elect do. i have been briefed, i believe the russians did it, they will pay a heavy price. it was a democrat today, could be the republicans tomorrow, and

the defender of democracy, the protector of freedom. no for an entity is going to interfere in our elections without paying a price. declare putin's the man he really is. he is a disruptive force. >> bill: if he does become a senator, then, he alienates putin from the trump. it looks like this strategy is to say, let's start afresh. let's knock this off and work together to defeat isis and not have tensions. isn't that more worthy, to try that, then to threaten him right from the jump? >> not at all. i think what i would do is say that there is a new sheriff in town and he is going to pay a price for what he did. obama said, knock it off in october. >> bill: he would punish russia even further than what obama did? >> absolutely. i have introduced sanctions that would have their energy economy, the foundation of their economy, the financial sector. >> bill: you know, if you do it, it is a cold war all over again? you know that? >> it is a hot war.

it's not a cold war. >> bill: of trump brings down the heat and forms of some kind of alliance, i'm not saying he can, i am saying, you are shutting the avenue off altogether. you are saying, we are going to hurt you, putin, now. you know putin. he is going to try to hurt us back. we got a problem with russia right from the beginning, rather than trying to deintensify it, as trump looks like he'll do. you are still the hawkish guy come as far as russia's concern? >> i don't know if it is hawkish for the president of the united states to punish a foreign power for trying to interfere in our democracy. here's what i believe. two presidents have miscalculated putin. bush looked into his eyes and saw a soul and obama wanted a reset. i want a better relationship with russia as much as you do come as much as trump does. but the one thing i am convinced of, you'll never have a better relationship for giving this guy for all of his misdeeds. about a relationship would mean that he no longer try to destroy

democracy around the world, interfere in our elections, kill his opponents, and steal his people blind. i have a different view of what we should do. my view is that we should hit russia hard with what they have done to make sure that what they don't do it in the future and china and iran and everybody else is sizing us up. the evidence is in for lindsey graham. putin is a bad actor. what we are doing is not working in terms of deterring him. i intend to do more, i will make a production on your show. i predict that the sanctions that we have introduced will be voted on relatively quick and we'll get 80 votes in the united states senate to punish russia for what they did in our election. >> bill: do you think trouble veto that? >> i don't know. i hope you want. here's my advice to president electron. he beat me, i got it, i want to help you, you're the president, god know you got a plate full of stuff. you don't have to agree with me or john mccain, but you have willing partners in the congress, republicans and democrats, to hit russia hard, to give you leverage to give you a better relationship. the one thing i'm convinced of about putin, he is not going to

stop this until he pays a price. nobody has made him pay a price yet. see one that's for sure. senator, thanks very much. really appreciate you coming on. >> happy new year. >> bill: next on the rundown, the repeal of obamacare. the first step has been taken already. we will talk to karl rove about it. later, talking to folks in chicago about what president obama might have done better. those after these messages.

are you getting this? these numbers are off the charts... sir! what's the status? there's a meteor hurtling towards earth. how long until impact? less than a minute. what do you want to do, sir? listen carefully... if we all switch to geico we could save 15% or more on car insurance. i like the sound of that. geico. because saving fifteen percent or more on car insurance is always a great answer.

texas, karl rove. so, this is about barack obama, not about health care. because the democrats know, this is his signature, he's got his name on it. this signature thing he did in eight years. now, it looked like it might be blasted out of their in a few weeks. am i correct? >> it will take more than a few weeks but it will be blasted out of there. frankly, you opened up, bill come with numbers that are far more favorable to the affordable car. political ran a poll, they said, do you approve or disapprove of obamacare? 41% approve, 52% disapprove. but then, if you ask a strongly or somewhat, strongly approves or 19%. this strongly disapproves her 42%. and you can see this on rentede pea, the strength of the antipathy towards obamacare in the next question they asked, which is, do you want to repeal it? and part, repeal all of it, you

want to expand it, do you want to keep it as is? 32% said, repeal it in part, 27% said come up repeal all. that is a total of 59%, saying, let's repeal it in part or completely. 24% at said expanded. only 11% said keep it as it is. this law is enormously unpopular. republicans -- >> bill: in my defense, the political poll was an internet poll. we do not use internet polls on this program. now, democrats -- >> that is what morning consult is projected in a pole. >> bill: we don't use those poles. the democrats have emotion, heavy emotion invested in obamacare. can they block the republican effort to resend it? >> well, there are certain elements that don't fall within the reconciliation process, like keeping your kid on her policy until age 26. but the main elements, can only be undone by a simple majority

in the house, 218, a simple majority in the senate, 51. the only way that the democrats are able to chop the republicans as with republican assistance. we could see a sense -- >> bill: certain budgetary situations? >> that's right. there is limits on how much time can be devoted to this. at how much they can stop it. the clock runs and it's over. >> bill: let's assume that obamacare is over there by november of this year, 2017. but the mandate for pre-existing conditions has to be in there for any republican replacement and the 26-year-old can stay onn the mom's health insurance and a few other things, i believe, will be cap. is that how you see it? >> yes, in part because of things that you talked about, pre-existing conditions and 26-year-old is not covered by the budget reconciliation. what is covered by the budget reconciliation is anything that cost money or raises money.

the individual mandate -- >> bill: whatever bill they put forth. my last question for you is this. there are a lot of people getting free health care under obamacare. all right the republicans want to knock that out or do they still want to subsidize health insurance for millions of americans? >> i think the republicans do want to find a way to help the deserving poor get health care coverage. but they want to do it in a distinctly different way than the affordable air care act. they won't want them to have a wide variety of policies, and not get locked into one policy. they want -- one of the big problems of the affordable care act is the level of subsidies are far too generous, far too costly. they will see more reasonable -- we will also see things like the expansion of health savings accounts in which people are more in charge of the health care come as a result, more likely to make sensible decisions. >> bill: more likely into the

four precincts, they don't have health insurance or they can get it or whatever for personal reasons. all right, mr. rove, thank you very much. directly ahead, "the factor" exclusive. the talladega marching band will perform at the inauguration. wait until your the pressure that is put on at the african-american college. next up, judge jeanine pirro. that should be interesting. we are coming back.

♪ >> bill: personal story segment tonight, one of the bands performing at the inauguration is from talladega college in alabama. that school founded by former slaves after the civil war. but as we reported last week, there's an amazing pressure being put upon people not to

perform at the inauguration. and many have buckled but not talladega. joining us now from washington, amoroso manna called from the trump transition team. and from birmingham, alabama, dr. billy hawkins, president of talladega college. so, doctor, when you decided to allow the band to perform, what kind of he take? >> bill, thank you for having me on the show tonight. i have had a lot of pressure, a lot of folks have come at me, and a very, very negative manner. i've been personally attacked. they have threatened to oust the president at a table talladega college. i have had an alumni willing to come at me quite hard, not of all of our alums, but a fair number of alums have come out to be pretty hard. not wanting the band to participate in the inauguration. but, you know, this is a great opportunity for our students. i have said that from the

outset, it is about the students, it is about them having an opportunity to participate in this national stage, this inaugural ceremony. it is a civic ceremony. it is not about politics. i have made that real clear. >> bill: it's an amazing opportunity for the students and most of whom have never been to washington. they are going see history unfold. what form do the criticism of yu take, doctor? what are they saying to you. >> they have said that i have shamed the college by making this decision, and i have had folks that say that i am a disgrace to my african-american race. it has been pretty nasty. >> bill: is that all because these critics believe that trump is a racist of some kind? >> you know, i don't know. i think folks have their own

personal views. but the criticism i have just been getting is that you all should not participate in this inaugural parade. >> bill: we admire your courage for setting up for the kids. i mean, you are standing up, that is what you should do as a college president. you are doing the right thing for the kids. now, let me get over to omarosa. you have heard this before. because you are involved in putting together the inauguration, i would say, many entertainers would like to be there. but they're afraid they're going to lose bookings and all of that. what you think is behind this? >> you know, first of all, i think it is despicable that the individuals would attack young people who want to participate in one of the most important activities that we can take place in this country. this is like a civics lesson in action. some of the students have reached out to me and they said, omarosa, not only do we want to participate, we have never been to d.c. we've never seen the washington monument or bench of the white house or seen any of the sites. so, i think it is important to

focus on the students and to have people with their own political agenda. >> bill: don't dodge my question, omarosa. you have tried to put together the inauguration and you have run against an amazing amount of or just resistance. >> i do not work in the transition. the reason i am speaking up on the inauguration, the reason i'm speaking up is because i have attended three black colleges, central state, howard university, and pain theological. i know is a student at these institutions, it is important to get as much exposure as he possibly can. people are bringing their own personal political agendas and i applaud this president for not backing down in this case. >> bill: what do you think is behind the animus of not having people honor our peaceful transition of power? i don't understand what it is about that. you don't have to like the president. but it is the tradition of our transition. >> is despicable. you know wash? i think people are so upset that their candidate did not win. so, they're trying to take it

out on this university, on this president. trying to fire the president because those students are coming to the inauguration? that is foolish. >> bill: i know the board of directors of talladega -- dr. hawkins, go tornadoes, okay. >> thank you so much, bill. >> bill: the tornadoes are so good. i mean, i have seen in tornadoes. they are really good! >> bill, they have a go fund me account that they are using to raise funds. i hope people will go there and support the students. >> bill: how do you get there? >> on your web site as long on talladega's web site. >> bill: okay. go find me.com. go to d.c. because it does cost extra money. plenty more as "the factor" moves ahead. judge jeanine pierrot, with outrage of the week, brand-new segment. then, watters asking the folks at president obama could have done better. >> do you think president obama could have been better on the economy?

about. that is, there is a democratic mayor in d.c. who is running what she calls a sanctuary city. now, we know there are a lot of them in this country. but she is doubling down as a lot of the democratic mayors are. that means, she is putting money into these cities to make sure that illegal immigrants are not deported. she is putting a half a million dollars into funds so that lawyers can be hired to represent illegals in the event donald trump makes the decision to deport them and we know that that is what he's going to do. >> bill: all right, so, tax money in washington is federal tax dollars because the federal government runs out. it is not a state situation. so, all of us are paying that $500,000 $500,000 initial payment to the fund. i understand that d.c. has got that huge homeless problem, a big drug problem, a lot of social things that need attention, right? >> that is the very issue that is at the core here. if we are going to use taxpayer

dollars to prioritize or represent those people who made the decision to come here illegally, then, we've got to say to the americans who are here legally, many of them, if you are homeless, for example, in d.c., they have had a 14% increase in homelessness and the last year, although, homelessness in the country, overall, is down. they've got a drug problem. by the way, would you think about homelessness, who is the biggest segment of homelessness in this country? vets. all right? we have american vets who are fighting for us who are not being taken care of while the illegals are being taken care of with our money. it's an outrage. all right, just to clarify the fund, so, this may mayor bowser takes a half-million dollars of money that she can use, discretionary money, for anything in washington. and she establishes a fund to play lawyers, who are going, then, to challenge any deportations the federal government may make in

washington of illegal aliens. >> donald trump is made clear this is what he's going to do. >> bill: for criminals, and the though, that is the priority that present electrons has saide will come right after you. i don't think there will be sweeping up in d.c. chambermaids. >> i don't think that it's going to happen. even general kelly reaffirmed that, it is going to be the criminals who are going. but the whole idea of saying, look, we are going to take taxpayer money come by the way, california is talking about $10 million. >> bill: sure, they hired -- >> eric holder. >> bill: he is getting $25,000 a month. that is on the taxpayers of california. this is everybody, every american. so, what i think is going to happen, the trump administration is going to cut that money, going to punish washington quickly and mayor bowser is going to be in real trouble fast. >> the way they're going to do that, eric sessions, the attorney general, is going to bring federal law -- >> bill: jeff sessions.
