"talking points" has a provocative point of view on that and you will hear it. >> never give up! never given! stand up! speak up! >> bill: certainly come a congressman lewis has done that,

trying to undermined the trump presidency. bernie goldberg has a challenge for mr. lewis tonight. >> we are here and we will dance. >> also, i had, let the chaos begin. protesters surround vice president alexis mike pence's house last night. >> 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. what donald trump should say in his inaugural address tomorrow. that is a subject of tonight's "talking points." we get word that they inaugural address will run about 30 minutes. but less is more. in 20 minutes, we would probably be the best presentation. george washington '2nd inaugural address is less than 5 minutes. the old general didn't have much to say at that point.

mr. trump does have a lot to say because he is in a unique position. there are powerful forces in america committed to destroying him. and the national media is a big part of that. so, "talking points" believes that tomorrow, president trump should not only say what his vision for america is, but why he feels his policies will help the folks. the only way to overcome the hatred against him is to communicate directly to the people. the new fox news poll asked, does donald trump listen to people like you? 40% today, trump does a good job in that regard. 50% say, a bad job. so, the more the new president can direct his remarks to the folks, the stronger his position will become. and on that note, i have changed my opinion. i used to think all of his tweeting heart donald trump. but now, it is a necessity because he can expect to be attacked every day. he must have a rapid defense mechanism in his own words and twitter provides that.

now, as far trump's message, it has to be economically based. how to improve the financial situation for hard-working americans. all of his domestic policies have to revolve around that theme. he has to connect them in his address tomorrow. for example, if you are going to crack down on border security, say why. explain how that will help americans make a better living. if you are going to knock out a bunch of environmental regulations, specifically say, how that will improve the country. it will not be enough for donald trump just to proclaim, he will have to explain. in the past, there have been some very interesting statements made by new presidents. here you go. >> it is not my intention to do away with government. it is, rather, to make it work. work with us, not over us. to stand by our side, not right in our back. >> the enemies of liberty is in our country should make no mistake. america remains engaged in the

world, by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power, that favors freedom. >> let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or il ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival of and the success of liberty. >> bill: now, the sad fact is, no matter what donald trump says tomorrow in his address, it will not be accepted by those who despise him. but again, he can overcome that opposition if he talks directly to the folks. if he emerges as their champion through policy success. that is "the memo." now, joining us from washington, david as a route from the heritage foundation, and presidential historian john

meacham. okay, tell everybody that president bush the other remains in the hospital, they say he is stabilized after his bout with pneumonia. everybody is wishing and praying for him, but wishing him well. great man i think. great men and many, many different ways. now, donald trump -- >> one piece of good news is that when jim baker want to see the bushes yesterday, he announced that he was going to bring a thermos of martinis. >> bill: that will liven things up in the icu. what donald trump steps into this job as the 45th president, and now i have looked at this thing, and there was adams and jefferson, we know through history, but nothing like this. because of the internet. the internet has changed everything. the hatred factor is through the roof. so, i am trying to basically bring it down a little. what say you? >> i agree. i have two thoughts. for what i would have the

president-elect will do tomorrow, as he is president. one goes a slightly contrary, at least at first, to your point. i would say, he'll have president carter, president bush, president clinton, secretary clinton, president obama there. i think it would be a graceful note, a gracious note, to allude to all of them and talk about how we have had a farmer from the planes and a kid from arkansas and a guy from west texas and a kid from hawaii who have risen and the american story and that we honor them for their service. but now, it is about the people and not just the president. pivoting that way, i think by eluding to the establishment, against which he ran so successfully, i think he'll get points for grace, i think he will get points for reaching out, i think he would reassure people, like me, frankly, who do believe that the conventions of politics have a reason.

but then that pivot has to be, i'm going to be the deliverable president. judge me on what i do. we are here to make things happen for you, not just for the people. >> bill: i think that is wise. he is generous in the beginning to all of the previous presidents and then come he says, look, i am in business to help you out. like andrew jackson did. mr. david azerrad, what would your attack be in the address tomorrow? >> i agree with you, bill, that he wandered back over his critic with the speech. he hasn't even been sworn and m. trump derangement syndrome has set in amongst the social justice warriors. they are a lost cause. i think what he has to do, what he will do, is to hammer away at the core premise of his campaign, which is, he will have the only interest of the american people in his heart. he will tirelessly champion the well-being of the forgotten men and women of this country. at the way to do that is to return to the themes that propelled him to the presidency, to talk about the importance of borders, about the importance of

the national interest at, about putting america first when it comes to immigration, to trade, to foreign policy. he is going to give it be giving the state of the union address next month, that is a time to go into details. for the time being, i would stick to the core premise of his campaign, which is what got him elected. >> bill: okay, but i think he has to do a y behind the wild. he has been demonized so badly that people are going to say, you just want to punish mexicans on the border, or you just want to make the world, the planet dirty again. you know, that could be an opposition slogan, make the planet dirty again. so, he will say, this is why i am doing things, jon, and i agree that you don't want to get into micro policy on the state of the union, just 20 minutes, you just want to deliver a powerful address. but he has got to kind of give it to his critics a little bit. >> he does, and he will. i don't think there is any question about that. politicians run on incentives that have worked in the past. right?

it is why political reforms are so hard. because incumbents think that any system that elected them is just fine and has great wisdom. he is consistently talked about these things, sometimes in a scattershot way, but that is part of his appeal. interestingly, his vernacular, as reality television, obviously resonated with people. >> bill: sure. they understood what he is talking about. >> i would push back gently against with the two of you are saying. the inaugural address is not the time to go after your critics. it is not the time to punish your enemies. it is to return to the language he used when he got the nomination at the convention. focus on america as a nation of dreamers, believers, and its drivers. leave out the part about the fact that it is led by a group of cynics, critics, and sensors. now, is not the time to go after the elites, the media, and cronies. i think you want an uplifting,

unifying message for the nation. >> bill: all right. we will see if we get by gentlemen, thank you very much. we appreciate it. next, and "the rundown," we'll take you to the southern part of our -- later, bernie goldberg not very happy with congressman john lewis. those reports after these messages as "the factor" continues all across the usa and all around the world. ♪ taking a holiday in britain, are ya doll? well, the only place you need go... london's got the best of everything. cornwall's got the best of everything. sport sport nightlife nightlife (both) fashion adventure i'm tellin' ya, britain is the only place you really need go. expedia. everything you need to travel britain better.

border patrol council, brandon judd. you are present more than 1600 0 border patrol agents. what changes are you guys expecting on the southern part of? >> while, the first off, i want you to understand that there is a buzz that we have never seen before in the border patrol. of those agents, we feel we now have a president that we can trust and that has the political will to finally secure the border. we expect to see an awful lot of policies that have undermined border security change in the near future. >> bill: get specific for me. >> okay, so, what we have right now that has drawn vast numbers of people from other countries to come to the united states is what we called a "catch and release" program. the faster majority of all those individuals across the border illegally, that we arrest, we just turn around and release. in other words, we walk them out the door, give them, in some cases, a bus ticket to atlanta, boston, new york, and there is no consequences. in essence, what we are doing as we are rewarding them for breaking our law. >> bill: how did that ever

happen, though? out of that catch and release happen? >> that was an obama policy. that was the administration's policy, they forced us to come in essence, stop enforcing the laws. of course, when we stop enforcing the laws, that word spreads. most people think that this is just mexico. these are just people from mexico that we are arresting. and that is as far from the truth as there is. we arrest people from the middle east, we arrest people from south america, we arrest people from countries in the ukraine. so, what the message that we have spent is that if you come here and you break our laws, we are going to let you go and -- >> bill: let me get this straight, though, if you are a migrant and you come across the border and you your guys catch them, if you say to the border patrol, i need asylum, i am here for political, those are the magic words, right?

>> those are the magic words. to be when i'm here to apply for asylum. then, you process, you take them to a place, you process them, then, you are mandated to let them go under president obama's policies? you have to let them go? >> yes, we do have to let them go. often times, we walk them right out our front sometimes, to a church. sometimes, to a bus station. walk them right out -- >> bill: they are in the wind. you tell them they have to come back for a hearing, right? >> we tell them that in the future, we will send them a letter that will give them a hearing date. but unfortunately, the vast majority of these individuals never show up for the hearing. >> bill: do they give you addresses? >> they have to give us addresses. >> bill: so, everybody knows this, coming in from mexico, all the coyotes, the people smugglers, they tell them, if you get in there, and you are caught by the border control, you tell them you want a silo, you give them an address, where your uncle lives or something, and bang, you are in. i don't think americans understood how bad, or how

lenient, but maybe that is a better word, that policy was. so, you expect trump to stop that cold? >> yes, i do. president trump's new york rise was based upon his immigration policy. he spoke to an ignored segment of the american public. and that public responded on november 8th. to be what you expect him to stop, catch and release called. what about the border wall? >> so, the border wall is something that is extremely important. we are not talking about a border wall from california down to texas. we are talking about a border while in strategic locations which will then allow us to dictate where illegal immigration takes place or illegal contraband. again, we don't just arrest illegal aliens. we arrest, we seize vast amounts of drugs that come across the border. and we want to dictate where they cross. and with border walls, we are able to dictate where they

cross. it allows us to be as successful as possible. >> bill: so, you know, does the board of control have a chart that says, this is where we need the big wall, do you have that already drawn up? >> they are working on that as we speak. it hasn't been finalized, but that is being worked on. >> bill: all right. do you believe president trump will build that? >> i do believe. i do believe that, yes, he will build the wall. i believe that the walls in strategic locations will allow us to be successful. and i believe that under this administration, i believe we will secure the border. >> bill: all right. well, we shall see mr. judd. directly had come a california post back and allowing health insurance for illegal aliens. is that the cost of donald trump? leader, bernie goldberg a scolding congressman john lewis. up ahead. ♪ ou in the way of a touching moment?

♪ >> bill: a "unresolved problems" segment. a state of california, perhaps the most progressive entity in allowing undocumented aliens benefits. but now, california has withdrawn its request of the federal government for permission to allow undocumented folks access to government mandated health insurance. some say that back down is because of donald trump. joining us now from washington, california congressman, brad sherman, a democrat. so, do you think mr. trump has intimidated in sacramento, the capital, into withdrawing this request? >> well, first, let's clarify the request. it was to let undocumented immigrants shop on the web site. just as they can shop at safeway, just as they can shop on amazon. no subsidy. when you get more customers, and

as lower prices for everybody. so, that is with the waiver intended. yes, it is indeed donald trump that has caused donald trump to withdraw the waiver. keep in mind, the trickle things that he hates most are undocumented immigrants and obamacare. >> bill: i don't know about that. he certainly wants to change the policies. you said something very interesting. so, he has, just by his power, sent a message to california that says, what? what is the message that trump ascending to california? >> that if undocumented immigrants want to buy health insurance, they can buy it anywhere except on these particular exchanges. >> bill: the obamacare exchanges, no-go. california is defying trump on sanctuary cities and a number of other things. they they have threatened a lawsuit for the border wall. why are they giving in on this? >> well, the fear is that if undocumented immigrants sign up that that would give trump a

list for his mass deportation policy. now, we do know if you will follow that policy. but if you listen to his rhetoric -- >> bill: undocumented on the list to access health care, that the federal government would know about it. i don't know if that is the case, though. i think that california is in a very tough spot here. because the fed is going to go up against jeff sessions, the new attorney general, and donald trump, there is a lot of federal dollars in play here. i think that is in the back of everybody's mind out there. i could be wrong. now, you are not boycotting the inauguration. why not? >> it is a tough decision. i respect those that are boycotting. the leaders of our party are going to be in attendance. presidents clinton, obama, carter, candidates hilary and bernie, and i'm going to do it out of respect for the system. it is easy to respect the system when it gives you the right results. i am not -- i was very happy to attend the inauguration of barack obama. i will be attending without much joy but with a respect for a system even though i know the

system is flawed with the electoral college et cetera. >> bill: why do you think of the democrats don't see it that way you do? i do. you may remember, the second inauguration for barack obama, there was no republican boycott, even at that time, they were at each other's throats. republicans showed up. it just makes the democratic party look bad, i think. >> bill: will, it does because, while we get excited about reaching out to a base that includes a lot of people that really do not think donald trump is legitimate, may even loathe him, we have got to remember that we will not be a majority unless we can appeal to those people who either voted for trump or thought of voting for trump. >> bill: the independent americans at the democratic party needs to win back if you want to take power away from donald trump and four years. but see, i don't understand what this boycott accomplishes. i don't get that. it doesn't strengthen the democratic party. i believe that most americans don't like this at all.

they would much rather see a country, at least on monday, come together and celebrate our traditions. i think you agree with that. most americans want to see the country celebrate it on inauguration day. not politicians. the country. so, it hurts the democratic party to be put in this position. it also makes the party of fanaticism. that never works, does it? >> bill: i don't know if we are in a celebratory mood, even those of us -- >> bill: it doesn't matter, celebrate the country. we aware a little flag pin. you don't have to be jumping up and down. republicans were jumping up and down for barack obama second time around, where they? >> i don't think so. i celebrate america every day with joy. there will be a little less joy than usual tomorrow. i think a lot of my colleagues feel that there are representatives, and their constituency is in an angry mood toward donald trump. >> bill: are they supposed to be the adults in a room? so, they are in an angry mood,

all right, next time around, let's give it a better shot and maybe we will take power back. right now, do we want to be petulant? do we want to be subversive? i just think it hurts your party. >> well, it's a close call. keep in mind, if you got a ten dollar bill and a $20 bill in your wallet, both those presidents had their inaugurations boycotted by their predecessors. john adams boycotted, john quincy adams boycotted. >> bill: there was bad feeling but never like this. >> come if you know american history, and i know you do, there have been even more contentious times and we face today. >> bill: not with the internet. the internet spreads the hate so fast that by the time the pony express got out to missouri when john quincy adams didn't like jackson, he was out of office already, jackson. it took four years to get out there. it is always good talking to you. we appreciate you taking the time. plenty more head as "the factor" moves along this evening. bernie goldberg will cover john

story. and if so, god appeared to him and wanted him to do what? what was the endgame for nehemiah? >> the country had been in bondage for years in babylon. the infrastructure shambles. god said to nehemiah, the first after rebuilding the nation is to secure the nation with a border to keep the enemies out. >> bill: to give the babylonians out and the other people. >> the ammonites and the hittites. >> bill: i hate those hittites. those hittites were really out of control. >> bill: -- >> make the hittites pay for the wall. i don't think he said that but maybe he should have. >> bill: so, you are going to tell the story to the president and vice president, they will still be elect when you get them, what do you want them to take away from it? >> you know, nehemiah had his share of critics during his day who were heckling him, and hounding him, spreading rumors about him, they were kind of like the mainstream media of

today. he nehemiah ignored them. the country went to an economic recession, terrorist attacks, nehemiah cap plowing forward. i see those qualities in donald trump. he is not going to stop for his critics. he is not going to slow down. he is going to do what he thinks is best for this country. that is why i support him. >> bill: you are going to encourage them at the same time, you are in enlightening him about the old testament. >> i want to encourage him. i can't stand these pastors who use their minutes before a president to give a lecture and to chastise them. think that is my role. by the way, donald trump is my friend. so, i do want to encourage them. you know, people who didn't vote for trump or pens, i think tomorrow is a time for us to begin to pray for him because, bill, if trump wins, america wins. >> bill: he needs in pairs because his enemies are a legion. the final question is, you know donald trump pretty well. he is not a religious man, per se.

he is a secular man. does that enter into your thinking at all, would you like them to be a little more overtly religious? >> look, donald trump and i have had many discussions about faith. and i say this. mr. trump's faith is very important to him but it is very personal with him. but i do think, what is ironic, bill, a secular billionaire from new york has won more evangelical votes than any candidate in history by wider margins. >> bill: you know why that is, though, right? >> i think evangelicals want a strong leader but they also appreciate the fact that trump, unlike the left, does not demonize them for their beliefs. >> bill: that is one reason but the supremes court selection, i think, is what the evangelicals voted on him. >> i can tell you from talking to mr. trump just a few weeks ago, he is moving forward and fulfilling the promise of a supreme court. and the other promises he made. >> bill: all right, pastor, good luck tomorrow. say hello to everybody for me.

to in the lead-in, even heroes need to be held accountable. >> bill: so, what do you think mr. lewis' motive has been over the past 20 years when he has excoriated every single republican running for president, compared i think mccain and george wallace, romney was going to be throwing blacks into the street, now, we have this boycott of donald trump. what is lewis' motive? >> i think he believes, and i am pretty sure his supporters believe, that john lewis is a man of principle who acts almost exclusively on principle. so, his motives would be, it is a principled response to what he considers the illegitimacy of donald trump. he also considered george bush illegitimate. as you just mentioned, he compared john mccain, when he was running for president, to george wallace.

he said mitt romney would take us back, ora lee suggested he was take us back to the bad old days of segregation. and i think he believes all of these things are based on principle. but john lewis is also something besides an icon. besides a civil rights icon. he is also a high hyper- partisan liberal democrat. he doesn't always deal with principle. when you try to delegitimize so many different kinds of republicans, that is political. and when john lewis goes into the political arena, he can be criticized in a political way. what bothers me, bill, what bothers me more than john lewis, who i think it's a good man, what bothers me is that his many supporters think that because of his biography, because of what he went through, because he got his head handed to him and selma, alabama, in 1965, that he is somehow above reproach, beyond reproach.

that you can't criticize him. if you do, you are suspect at best or you are racist at worst. and i am saying, he is also a politician. when he acts that way, he is allowed to be criticized. >> bill: i think his motive is that he is a one-party guy. that he doesn't want two parties in this country. that he says, if it is not my way, it is the highway. >> but he believes -- >> bill: he doesn't respect anybody on the other team. no one. they are all bad. >> but here is why i think -- i think you are right. but here is why i think that is the case. he hasn't has supporters in thl media, and the liberal intellectual circles, who have practically said, and in some cases literally said, you cannot criticize john lewis. >> bill: they have inoculated him to criticism because of his heroism and the civil rights

movement. but i am not interested in that. i'm interested in him. >> thus what i was about to say. that affects his thinking. he sees himself as the special kind of person he is. but he is not just a man of principle. he is also a man of politics. >> bill: but i don't understand where the principle is. if every single republican is evil. where is the principal and that? >> come we are not saying he's right. we are saying that we is what he believes. >> bill: he is being portrayed as a principled man. my question is very simple because, as you know, i am a simple man. where is the principle in demonizing every single person who disagrees with you? where is the principal and that? >> i'm not defending him. i want to make this clear. imagine that you walked over the edmund pettis bridge in march of

1965 and a bunch of racist state troopers, alabama state troopers, beat you senseless. one of you hit you over the head and cracked her skull. do you think -- i know this sounds ridiculous, but do you think everything hearkens back to the bad old days, so, you see donald trump, who tried to delegitimize barack obama, so, he, john lewis tries to delegitimize donald trump. >> bill: i hope that's not the case. >> he sees george bush, who he thought wasn't really elected. the same with john mccain. in the case of john mccain and mitt romney, it is beyond ridiculous. this isn't principle. this is ugly, political commentary. >> bill: absolutely. all right, bernie. we appreciate it. go to bernardgoldberg.com. read his column. watters on deck. he is running around d.c. and he has a very interesting interviews for us. watters is next. ♪
