sin city, washington, d.c., for president-elect donald trump's inauguration. we hope you will tune in. as always, thank you for being with us. we will see you in d.c., tomorrow night. >> the o'reilly factor is on tonight. >> i've asked my transition team to restore our laws and bring back our jobs. >> so, what exactly will donald trump do on monday when he is sitting in the ovall office? we have been investigatinge and we will tell you what we know. >> bill: some very bad people descended on washington, espousing violence. martha maccallum has been inve ♪ >> bill: also, ahead, singer tony orlando defying the threats, will perform at the inauguration. he will be here tonight. ♪

>> 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 us tonight. president trump, and executive orders. that is this subject of this evening's "talking points" memo. as you know, president trump has said that he will sign a number of actions almost immediately after taking office on friday. some of which may overturn things president obama did. but what things? we have been investigating. here is the best available evidence. mr. trump is likely to issue notifications of the usa will withdraw from the transpacific trading partnership, that of course will rock some asian countries and put the entire region on notice.ra mr. trump is also promising to cut restrictions on the coal industry. now, for the big ones. donald trump is going to do something on the southern

border. we are not exactly sure what. james rosen has been looking att that and he will be with us in a moment.ja also, mr. trump will gets specific about obamacare and possibly suspend some government mandates by executive order. you may remember back in 2009, barack obama issued an executive order to close the prison atyo guantanamo bay. eight years later, it remains open. executive orders are not in stone. presidents are free to change their mind. one thing a new president cannot do is overturn pardons issued by a previous president. there is some word from inside the trump organization that thet new president will institute a "shock and awe strategy" and sign a number of far-reaching executive actions to signal that he will shake up washington. if, that's a big gift, that happens next week, all hell will break loose. no question it won't. coming up, americans can expect a wild first week with donald trump as president. he will issue a number of

executive orders, democrats will not be happy with them, and the media condemnation will be intense.ut take it to the bank. that is "the memo." now, for the top story, let's bring in james rosen who joins us from d.c. now, we hear that even on friday, after he is sworn in, there may be some executive orders. tell us specifically what you know. >> bill, there will be a period of time after donald trump has taken the oath of office as president and before he walks out to pennsylvania avenue, to participate in the review of the inaugural parade, he will have time in the white house to sign a number of executive orders. we are told on friday, on january 20th, he will sign a number of them. they will mostly be logistical. they have to do with things like making sure that certain members of his family receive secret service protection and the like. mr. trump himself told us that the biggest signings will probably wait until monday, after the inaugural weekend, so to speak. even there, there was this

debate between his advisors, amongst his advisors, on whether to do this "shock and awe" strategy that you just alluded to, or whether to do it to drip, drip, drip. basically, the drip, drip, drip, from what i've ascertained, won. you have these nominees for the cabinet positions who are up for confirmation. if you go shock and awe on thes first day, let's say the environmental regulation, that might imperil the nomination of scott pruitt.ay >> bill: you don't want to anger the democrats in congress so that they would take out their angst on the nominees for cabinet positions. i understand that. that is pretty interesting. but he is going to have to do something on the border. what will that likely be? it doesn't matter what time he does it. but he is going to do something. >> certainly, by next week, he will see then president trump to something on the border with executive action. the problem for him is that

whether it is building a wall or immigration policy writ large, or even obamacare, there is only so much he can accomplish by executive action. he will require congress in each of these categories to work with him. there are certain steps he can take. on the wall, for example, he can declare that it is the intention of the united states to build this wall. he can move around border patrol agents. he can even start restricting which countries are allowed to send people here through immigration. and that will tie into his campaign pledge to institute some kind of temporary ban on muslim immigration. it probably won't be religious based. it will probably be based on which countries have high populations of muslims and are of concern where terror is concerned. there will be some of this, but it won't be as far-reaching asce his supporters. for a lot of that, they'll havet to turn to congress. >> bill: he can flood the zone with border patrol agents in certain sectors, he can move them around.

so, you are going to see some action, i believe, next week on that. then, obamacare. now, obamacare is a big deal. it is going to be up for a vote in congress to repeal, basically most of it. but he can take executive action and what quarter? >> for example, using executive action, president trump next week, when he is sworn in, can, for example, limit, take actions to limit the number of benefits that insurers are required to provide. he can limit the marketing and outreach for the obamacare program. he can tighten up when people are allowed to apply for obamacare as it currently exists. he can tinker around the margins, in short, for the true repeal and replacement of obamacare, as we have been reporting on fox news, he is going to need congressional action and he will probably get it. >> bill: okay.in so, summing up, you have a

president that is going to come in with a very activist and provocative point of view and he is going to shake it up, the first week or two and you know what is going to happen with the press. they will go wild. >> one area in which i think you will see really far-reaching action by the next president early on, using executive actions, is the environment. it is going to be aimed, my sources tell me, at rooting out the influence of far left environmentalists, not just at the environmental protection agency, but at other agencies where they have gained a kind of a toehold, that includes the department of state, the department of congress,de interior. that is going to be met with howls of resistance. again, the executive action probably will take effect. >> bill: all right. this is absolutely true. last night, i was reading rosen's book on william f buckley, buckley's essays about the presidents, about jfk, about

johnson, nixon, and it's good,ab it's good. you didn't write the book, you edited it. but i wanted to point that out.' you guys might want to pick it up. >> you are very kind. >> bill: i am a sweetheart. next on "the rundown," president obama's final press conference. we'll take a look. many americans are outraged that an army private has been granted clemency by barack obama. senator john mccain will weigh in on that. upcoming. ♪ americans - 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day 50+ a complete multi-vitamin with 100% daily value of more than 15 key nutrients. one a day 50+. new girl, huh? yeah, i'm --

one of the few news breaking questions was on democratic congress people who boycotting the inauguration. >> with respect to the inauguration, i am not going to comment on those issues. all i know is, i'm going to be there. so is michelle. i have been checking the weather, and i'm heartened by the fact that it won't be as cold as my first inauguration. 'cause that was cold. [laughter] >> bill: the president dodged on his way out the door. here to analyze, geraldo rivera and eric bolling. that was disappointing to me. i think the president had an opportunity there to say, you know what, this is a real important day for america. it has been since george washington handed power to john adams. and i disagree with my colleagues in the party, in the house. >> the smooth transition of power, a great opportunity. chose not to. it is worth noting that all of them are house members. none of the senate has done this. remember, people who are elected to office represent both parties. they just don't represent the people who voted for them.

>> districts. >> 700,000 in a district, there is going to a good percentage of them -- >> bill: let's keep it on president obama. >> he is going to back out of that office as the least effective president in modern history. >> bill: let's keep it on him and this dodge.. what do you say? >> i disagree with both of you. i think that the president's appearance there, along with the first lady, just as hillary clinton's appearance, along with her husband, the former president bill clinton, that is enough to signal to the nation, to the world, that they are the peaceful transition of power. >> bill: but he had a chance to reinforce -- >> both sides could have reached out to each other and compromised. >> bill: i don't care about reaching out. why did the man not take the opportunity to promote what is a proud day in american history? why? >> he speaks for himself, the president, the 44th president of the united states. he will be there, he has done everything -- >> bill: you are not answering my question.

>> to make a smooth transition. >> bill: you are dodging the question. >> he has confirmed the peaceful transition has enshrined in the constitution. to ask him to do more -- >> he dodged it because he is going to be one of the people who are boycotting the inauguration in 48 hours. he will say, look, i'm one of you now. >> that, to me, is extremely disappointing.u but you have to recognize the president has a different role than commentators. >> bill: listen, you said that to say anything else is partisan, i disagree. barack obama is a leader in this country and will remain such. all right? even after he leaves. >> he's only 55.5. >> bill: he's a leader. he dodged a question that he should not have dodged. winston churchill could not have dodged that question. >> i'm not so sure about that. i have seen winston churchill on the floor -- >> he had to make a decision. had to pick a side. >> bill: that's another example of poor leadership. there is controversy around president obama staying inrs washington. some people said he might set a

shadow government up and undermine donald trump. he was asked about it today,mi will he speak out about issues? roll it. >> efforts to round up kids who have grown up here and for all practical purposes are american kids and send them someplace else when they love this country, the notion that we would just arbitrarily or because of politics punish those kids when they didn't do anything wrong themselves. i think would be something that would merit me speaking out. >> bill: nobody thinks that it's going to happen, no one think there is going to be any round-up about the so-called dreamers. george w. bush never saids anything about obama, i mean, never. can you guys remember any kind of criticism that he lodged?

you know some things that president obama did that are driving him crazy. dick cheney, the vice president, he did say a few times, particularly -- now, is a legitimate, for a former president, now living just a few blocks away from the white house, to weigh in on something like that? >> since the election, particularly in the last couple of weeks, i have gone out of my way to show the president-elect, the 45th president of the united states that i support him without reservation.ta i have embraced him. i have publicly stated that i want to give donald trump a chance to be a great president, because if he is a great president, then the country prospers. but if my friend, with whom i spent a nice time last week, were to begin a deportation force to round up those children, i would have -- >> bill: you're not a president. you are not a former president. >> when the 60-odd troublemakers in the house, and they don't

represent multi-faceted districts, those are all safe districts, those are districtsar where they will get elected forever and ever, with a political stand, that is politics. but when you start deporting essentially american children -- >> bill: you would be okay with president obama criticizing. >> in that particular -- >> bill: would you? >> you see what we're doing here. we are talking about what is h is going to do post-presidency. he is clearly -- he said as much, he will be back to organizing again. but he can do now is, he can go after the base, he can get the pure leftist ideologues. geraldo, donald trump backed off his deportation force. he said he is not going to do that. >> bill: nobody expects him to do that. >> to even bring that up -- >> bill: they asked him what circumstances, i thought that was legitimate. >> what do you do when you don't like the answer? as you call it, pedestriann

commentary comes out, you dismiss it immediately. president obama didn't dismiss it immediately, geraldo didn't dismiss it. the both of you talked about b deportation force, donald trump is not -- >> the real fear, these children live in terror right now, eric. and even you can have a soul -- >> bill: so generally speaking, it would be a bad thing if barack obama set up a shadow government. do you agree? >> i agree, and i doubt it will happen. >> bill: do you agree? government. >> i don't think a shadow government. it would be a massive movement, organic movement of obama. >> bill: here is the organic movement. he is going to go out, give speeches for $250,000 a pop. and he doesn't care who is in there, as long as he can get $250,000. he is going to write a book, and the book is going to be "why i am the greatest president ever." i may cowrite it with him. [laughter]te that is a joke. and then he is going to do some teaching. he will associate himself with

harvard or one of them. >> what else he will do, he will raise eight gazillion dollars in some foundation that will make the clinton foundation look like -- >> bill: that will be interesting if he opens a foundation. i don't think he will do that.e gentlemen, thank you very much. we appreciate it. directly ahead, the president did address the chelsea manning pardon. senator john mccain didn't like what he said. later, miller wants to talk about the inauguration.ai that could be trouble. as "the factor" forges ahead. ♪ it's your daily retreat. go ahead, spoil yourself. the es and es hybrid. this is the pursuit of perfection. wheyou wantve somto protect it.e, at legalzoom,

wikileaks, some of which put people in physical danger in places like afghanistan and iraq.ge yesterday, the president commuted manning's sentence. >> the sentence that she received was very disproportional -- disproportionate relative to what other leakers had received. and that she had served a significant amount of time. it made sense to commute. >> bill: private manning will be released in a few months. and joining us now fromom washington is senator john mccain. so your reaction to theow commutation? >> rage, frustration, and sorrow. sorrow for the families of those individuals who were identified in these leaks in afghanistan that the taliban went after and murdered. and rage because this president is basically endorsing a proposal that allows someone to

go free who is responsible for the needless deaths of those people who are allies. what do you say to their families, bill? >> bill: how do you know that manning's leaks directly led to a person's death? did you get reports? >> i have reports that the taliban went after the people that were identified in these reports. by the way, why wouldn't they? >> bill: sure. i just wanted to know if it was specific leaks that came to you as a senator that showed what wikileaks did with manning's help killed people that were helping the usa. >> let me be specific. the information i received when i was there was that the taliban went after these people. i assume, killed them. >> bill: okay.le now, i guess manning has served seven years, something like that, and then president obama says, that is enough. that is commiserate with what she did.

>> of course, that is outrageous. what is more egregious than providing the enemy withth information that would help them, which over time, then, puts the lives of the men and women serving in uniform and greater danger? is there any argument that anyone could have that wikileaks didn't do that? >> bill: so, you believe that the president is misguided in his sympathies here. do you think it has anything to do with the private being transgender? >> i have no idea what the motivation is. i understand that there was ati lot of people who were arguing for this commutation but i can't expect -- i would expect any commander-in-chief before commuting the sentence of someone of this nature would consult with our military leaders. you'd think that he called that

the chairman of the joint chief of staff? >> bill: ash carter didn't want that. his own secretary of defense said, don't do it. he did consult. >> nor did any of our military leaders. >> bill: friday, trump becomes president. you and he have a strained relationship. have you spoken with him since he won the election? >> i have spoken to him twice. both times, it was about appointments. by the way, i have a very good and strong relationship with a vice president elect, with general mattis, general kelly, general flynn. there are a lot of people around the vice president-elect, as i mentioned, i have been talking with them a lot.re reince priebus, as well, about appointments. we just got to legislation passed today so that we can confirm general mattis as secretary of defense right after the inauguration, immediately the same day. we have been working in some areas together. >> bill: okay.g a big difference between you and donald trump at this point is

russia. do you feel you will be able to convince him to take a harder line against putin? f >> i certainly hope othersta around him can. i know how general mattis feels. i know how general flynn feels. i know how even mr. tillerson feels. look, we cannot reward misbehavior. we have to go back to ronald reagan, peace through strength, get strong, and then deal with them. that way is the only way we can do it. >> bill: if trump lifts sanctions, you're not going to be real pleased? >> i am going to be deeply, deeply disappointed. and by the way, so are all the people in the baltic countries and in ukraine and in georgia, that right now, are under the threat of military action by vladimir putin. >> bill: okay. finally, the boycott has not extended to the senate. there are congresspeople, as you

know, dozen of them, democrats not showing up to the inauguration. but the senate has held. why is that? why aren't the democratic senators, some of them far left, why aren't they boycotting?as >> i say with typical senate snobbery, we are not like them.

dance party on mike pence's front lawn until he moves in at the naval observatory to basically protest what they see as his homophobic attitude. that is our party if you want to join in. >> bill: the irresponsibility doesn't end with the loons.an we have congressional people saying insane things. roll the tape. >> there is nothing about him that i would want to be involved with, and certainly the inauguration as a way of welcoming in someone to the presidency and honoring themeo d respecting them. i don't honor him.nd i don't respect him. and i don't want to be involved with it. >> bill: now, if a congressperson had said that inn 2009 to barack obama, they would have been accused of being a racist. >> vilified. >> bill: hung. all over the place. it would have been wrong, desperately wrong, for anybody to say that about president obama.. but maxine waters feels that she can say that about donald trump. this, to me, is just irresponsible in the extreme. again, it doesn't matter what

this woman says, because she has said crazy things in the past. she will get reelected. there is no downside for her. >> yeah, and most of the 66 members of congress are inid districts that they will get reelected from. so they don't care. it made me think also about vice president biden, who admonishe donald trump for tweeting too much and said he needed to grow up. i think the same advice might apply to some of these individuals. and also to president obama, who has been, in donald trump's words, "so gracious in offering help in terms of the transition."io wasn't it be great if the president today had taken a moment and said, i would really like all of you to show up. >> bill: when we discussed it earlier in the program, he is still a leader in the program. >> absolutely. >> bill: to dodge the question irresponsibility is, i think, irresponsible, as well. now, snoop dogg, i know you are a big fan, you have all of his cds. >> of course i do.

>> bill: i have run into this guy two times over the last couple years, and he has been very nice to me. he didn't come across as some kind of real crank. but now, you know, he's -- i think he is a publicity seeker. and so he did this. roll it. >> ain't nobody going to perform for donald trump? which one of you [bleep] [bleep] going to be the first one to do it? i am waiting. i'm going to roast [bleep]. uncle tom [bleep] [bleep]. which one of you [bleep] are going to do it first? >> bill: so he is disparaging people of color who interact with donald trump, just as we reported on yesterday with the marc lamont hill's statement of "mediocre negroes." it is the same kind of intimidating stuff. any blowback on snoop dogg? >> i looked him up on twitter, he has 15 million followers, donald trump has 20-something.co he loves to tout that number.

maybe he is working on his competitive social media numbers. i think this is so appalling. i think to argue in favor of tolerance, i guess he is against free speech, he doesn't want people speaking, he doesn't want people to go to trump tower, w like jim brown or steve harvey, they are not allowed to do that. his way or the highway. >> bill: kanye has got a problem with him now.. kanye west. maybe those two guys can get in the ring. >> as you point out, marc lamont "mediocre negroes" -- hill calling them "mediocre negroes" -- >> bill: off the charts. watch martha at 7:00 p.m. you will be anchoring all the inauguration coverage with bret baier on friday. >> i will be. 11:00-5:00 friday. looking forward to it. >> bill: i hope they give you a raise. a lot of airtime.
