and the falcons. tim tebow, robert pratt, tiki barber, what a great lineup. tomorrow night from houston, i hope you can join us. have a great night. ♪ >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" from l.a. is on. tonight... >> president trump taking to twitter this morning, asking the question, "no federal funds" if uc berkeley does not allow free speech? >> bill: more violence against free speech, this time in berkeley, california. and president trump is tweeting, "if this doesn't stop, there'lls be federal action." we will tell you what is going on. >> the world is in trouble. but we are going to straighten it out. okay? that is what i do. >> bill: the controversy over db the president's anti-terror policies continues. "talking points" will lay it out for you tonight. >> what would you like bill toou ask the president? >> i would like to ask him how he is handling all of this hostility that is being thrown at him.

>> bill: also ahead, jesse watters talking to then folks about my upcoming super bowl interview with president trump. >> i just wanted to see how far he will move with the military. >> bill: caution, you are about to enter the "no spin zone" from california.on "the factor" begins right now. ♪ >> bill: hi, i am bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. donald trump and terrorism, that is the subject of tonight'ss "talking points" memo. protests continue over the president's travel restrictions leveled that countries that have major problems controlling terrorists. the left's overreaction to this, that is what it is, branding it anti-muslim and anti-immigrant is predictable. however, the trumpav administration should have explained exactly why it has chosen seven countries on which to impose travel restrictions to the usa. it all comes down to terrorism. the president believes

barack obama was far too soft on the islamic jihad. he also believes that americaar needs tougher standards when it comes to admitting refugees and more domestic security overall. none of that is unreasonable. but in order to blunt anti-trump propaganda, detailed explanations have to be given to we the people.e. mr. trump began that process the -- today. >> we have to be tough, it is time we need to be tough, folks. we are taking advantage of by every nation in the world, virtually. it is not going to happen anymore. it's not going to happen anymore. we have seen unimaginable violence carried out in the name of religion. acts of wanton slaughter against religious minorities, horrors on a scale that defy description. terrorism is a fundamental threat to religious freedom. it must be stopped, and it will

be stopped. >> bill: of course, the president is talking about islamic terrorism. therein lies a problem with the left. as we all know, they don't wantt islamic terrorism to be identified. after all these years, i still don't understand that. reality is reality, is it not? now, one of the nations that cannot send people to the usa for at least 90 days is iran. this week, that nation again provoked the world by firing off a ballistic missile. >> the recent ballistic missile launch is also in defiance of u.n. security council resolution 2231, which calls upon iran not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons in these and other similar activities, iran continues to threaten u.s. friends and allies in the region. >> bill: the trump administration has "put iran on notice." it looks like new economic

sanctions on that country will be forthcoming. the left, again, doesn't like that. an editorial in the "l.a. times" today criticized president trump for saber rattling with iran. but it is clear that the softft approach president obama took to confronting terrorism is now being completely reversed by the trump administration. apparently, president trump had a rough conversation with the prime minister of australia, malcolm trumbull. according to "the washington post," he thinks that the deal to accept 1250 refugees from a detention center is bad for the usa. however, the white house thinks a deal will go through. but it is clear president trump is a confrontational guy on terrorism. the refugee problem all over the world will not settle down until america and nato begin establishing or reestablishing world order. ironically, the left doesn't want that, either. in fact, the liberal communitynt

worldwide imposes any and all action against terrorism or any and all intrusion into chaotic nations where the refugee problem is exploding. so on the left, there is no solution, none! they simply accept the jihad and the chaotic world that i extends from it. believe me, donald trump is not going to broke that. that is the memo. now come to the top story. joining us from washington, nile gardiner from the heritage foundation and gillian turner, fox news analyst. gillian, where am i going wrong here? >> i don't think you are going wrong. but one thing i would fire back at you real quick, if this refugee and immigration eo is the first step toward taking a hard-line approach to terrorism, where is the plan from the trump administration to combat terrorism? clearly, this is part of some larger plan according to that logic. why doesn't the plan come firsth and then we take steps to remedy it? >> bill: he has only been there two weeks. so you would assume that once he has his guys in place, that is taking longer than he expected,

there would be a plan. i agree with you. there's got to be an overall plan. now, how much of it is announced, gillian, that is another story. 'cause you don't want to put tho enemy on notice that you are going to do a to b. but it looks to me that there is a certain logic in the seven nations that have been frozen for 90 days, because those nations don't have any control over who moves in and out of those countries. none. zero. and that is why they were o selected.. so why is that policy bad for america? why? >> i think this policy is bad for america because i think that over the medium to maybe a little bit longer term, it is going to have actually the reverse consequences of what thy administration intends. so what we have to do in order to defeat isis, defeat radical islam, is overcome them, not just militarily, but ideologically. in order to do that, we can't alienate the 1 billion muslims around the world, right?

we can't unilaterally -- >> bill: i think any muslim who is alienated by the united states trying to protecta our own people is -- i don't even care if they are alienated. i have to tell you. look, this is to you, mr. gardiner, if you can get on a plane in tripoli, libya, all right, all right, anybody can get on a plane. there is no government in place, no one is checking anything, the worst terrorists in the world get on a plane in tripoli, fly to paris, change planes, then land in jfk eight hours later. all right? that is what this refugee thing is designed to stop. is it not?? >> well, i think this executive order is designed to protect the american people, to make america safer, and to save american lives. and if you look at what is happened with europe with a huge refugee influx there thanks to angela merkel's disastrous open borders policy, europe has a massive problem. several individuals who took

place in the paris attacks of november 2015 came in under the guise of being migrants. there is no doubt about it. isis is using the refugee flow in order to infiltrate europe. it will attempt to infiltrate the united states as well. so this is a forward-looking policy designed to preempt action by isis in the united states. >> bill: and i understand that theory. but gillian puts forth, and shee is certainly not alone, that by selecting the seven nations, all predominantly muslim, that the other muslims who may not be, you know, militants, but may be in the middle, will hate the united states or pull away from the united states, because you know the propaganda that is being put out. this is anti-muslim,th anti-immigrant. the left is all over this. so is there any validity to gillian's point there? >> i don't buy the argument that this executive order will alienate 1 billion muslims. it is specifically targeted at countries known to be war zones,

places where islamists are operating. and i think that this is not aimed at the entire muslim world. and with regard to isis, you know, the argument is, isis will use this as propaganda against united states. well, isis is going to be committed all the time to killing americans regardlessl f executive orders.er i think it is only right that the united states is defending itself. >> i have to interject. i have to interject. i think the way that what i am saying is being characterized is just a little bit off. i'm not making the argument that this is a rallying cry for muslims to radicalize and joinin isis. i am making the point that, some of the countries that are on this list, we actually need their help in fighting isis.. they are now so angry at the united states over the ban. >> bill: what country woulde tht be? >> you could arguably make the case that we need all of them. right? iraq, for one. i would start with iraq. >> bill: yemen, somalia, we don't need them at all.

they are trouble spots. all of these governments -- >> just because they are trouble spots doesn't mean that we don't need certain kinds of cooperation with these governments. in somalia --he >> bill: gillian, if you are going to not take action in places that are just chaotic with no central government at all, if you are going to not take any action there to try too supervise who comes in from those countries, that is a policy that mr. obama embraced. >> but, bill, there is a difference between this ban and not taking any action, right? i would also argue that, with all due respect to mr. gardiner and the u.k., we are not europe. we have really stringent requirements and practiceses already in place in this country. that is why we don't have the european problem. we don't need this kind of -- >> bill: the president wants to toughen it up. i think, look, you have to give him 90 days to it. the obama administration didn't do anything. good debate, you guys. next on "the rundown," the

emergence of governor chris christie. where has he been? why is he not working for donald trump? then judge jeanine pirro with the "outrage of the week." this one will have you jumping up and down in your living room. that after these messages. let's do more. add one a day men's complete with key nutrients we may need. plus heart-health support with b vitamins. one a day men's in gummies and tablets. like bundling home and auto coverage, which reduces redney. tape, which saves money. when they save, you save. that's home and auto insurance for the modern world. esurance, an allstate company. click or call.

refugee freeze, temporary, you just wanted more articulation about why they were doing it? what exactly would you have put in the press release? >> bill, there was not enough communication even within the administration, it's clear. the homeland security secretary saying he never saw the executive order. others in the administration who were not as well briefed as they should have been. that is what leads to withholding entry from people who had green cards, who had already gotten through some extreme vetting and the other problems that happened. when those problems happened at the beginning, it allowed those who were opponents of the trump administration to mischaracterize it and attack -- the president deserves better. >> bill: do you think it is a rookie mistake? do you think it is a rookiesi mistake? they just didn't anticipate that this would be -- devolve into hysteria, which it absolutely did? >> absolutely right. i think the president deserves much better. let's face it, bill, he started off on a campaign with a complete muslim ban, which i and others opposed. he moved his policy very much towards a sensible place, which

is to say, where are their is to say, where are there countries which do not have the internal control to be able to be a partner with us in vetting who is coming into our country? he has made great progress, i think, in doing this the right way. but then he was allowed to be attacked viciously in the media over this, unfairly, because he was let down by the people who were implementing it. so the president deserves to be served better. that was what i was saying the other night. >> bill: okay. how come you are not working for him? >> i am not working for him because i didn't get offered something that made me want to resign as governor.be you know, my view was that it was have to be something very,no very special to get me to not complete my full eight-year term. and so, you know, i have a great relationship with the president. we still talk on a regular basis. i work with his folks all the time and have conversations. the fact is that i wanted to be the governor of new jersey, and if the president had offered met something that really was compelling me to get to washington, i would have made the sacrifice to do it.

but i want to stay as governor. i want to finish my term. >> bill: all right, you got one more year left in new jersey. if you had been offered thehe attorney generalship, which many of you thought you were in the running for, you would have accepted that? >> given that i have spent seven years of my life in the department of justice, that would've been a hard thing to turn down. >> bill: okay. senator sessions, you like that pick?se is he the right guy for the job? >> he's a very good man. honest man. i got to work with him a greatat deal during the transition, on the preparation for the transition. and i am sure that jeff sessions is going to be a really, really good attorney general. >> bill: now, the left fears him, the democratic party doesn't want him. h why? >> well, they don't agree with him ideologically. but the fact of the matter is that jeff sessions has been the united states attorney, the alabama state attorney general,

in addition to being a united states senator. this is a guy who understands the law, who believes in justic and believes in enforcing the law and the constitution. that is what they should care about. we will always have ideological differences. what you care about is someone who will respect the constitution. i think jeff sessions' record of the course of his career shows that he has got real respect for the constitution of the united states. >> bill: he's a tough guy. when he is confirmed, i think h' will be, but it will still be a struggle. newark is a sanctuary city. and i think sessions will go after all the sanctuary cities. >> when i ran for president, i said that i would do exactly the same thing. the fact is that those folks should be enforcing federal law. the federal government has to give tools to the states toto be able to help them have the enforcement of federal law. the obama administration had no interest in that. i hope the trump administration will. and if they do, they will have a really willing partner in me. >> bill: here's something interesting.g. two segments after you, we will have governor abbott from texas on. and he is denying funds to austin, the county that austin

is in, because they are a sanctuary city. would you deny funds to newark? >> first they need the federal government needs to act, bill. when you talk about a sanctuary city, they are not refusing to enforce state laws, they are refusing to enforce federal laws. the federal government -- >> bill: abbott is saying any law, if you are to refuse any law, i will take their money away from you. >> governor abbott governs a a very different state than i do. but i will tell you this.il i think this has got to be something the federal government has to do. if they do it, if they take the actions necessary, i think we will have federal law enforcement on every level. the fact is that governors can't do that on their own. they need the federal government as a partner. >> bill: all right. good to have you back on "the factor," governor. good to see you and thanks for taking the time. >> good to be back.ta thank you.

>> bill: "outrage of the week" segment tonight. as you may know, sanctuary cities all across the usa arege refusing to obey a very simpleno federal request that when an undocumented immigrant commits a crime and is put in jail, the city or county informs homeland security. >> the city of new york shields from the feds undocumented immigrants who commit what are deemed to be lesser offenses, b but they include drunk driving and grand larceny. if you are a drunk driver and you are an undocumented immigrant, why should there be a place for you in this country? >> jake, there are 170 offenses in that law that are listed as serious and violent crimes that lead to automatic cooperation

between the city of new york and our federal partners. >> is grand larceny or drunk driving a very minor offense? >> drunk driving that does not lead to any other negative outcome i could call that.t. >> bill: drunk driving not a negative offense? joining us now from new york, judge jeanine pirro, who anchors her own program on fnc at 9:00 p.m. saturday evenings. so mothers against drunk driving outraged, people who have lost loved ones, the carnage, they can't believe what they are hearing from de blasio. what are you saying? >> you know what, as someone who has prosecuted these cases, sat as a judge on these cases, this man, de blasio, the mayor of new york city, does not deserve to be the mayor. i will tell you why. for him to decide that, oh, i have 170 different crimes that i think are worthy of being considered but drunk driving isn't, and bill, by the way,

neither is sexual abuse or sexually-motivated felonies or forcible touching, but i digress on that. he thinks that drunk driving that doesn't "lead to other negative outcomes" shouldn't be included, therefore, if you are illegal and commit a dwi, we will protect you in a sanctuary city. that is not only protecting a illegals who are criminals, it is putting americans in danger of an illegal. so he has made the decision that if you are illegal and you want to commit a crime in new york city, we are going to take care of you. and if you are an american, we are going to endanger your lifer by keeping this illegal here. >> bill: you are still subject to the state law. they don't just dismiss the charges. but welfare fraud is included on this list? de blasio will not enforce. >> identity theft. >> bill: and grand larceny. grand larceny. i mean, major., so you are right in the sense that de blasio is basically

saying, i will decide what crimes i am going to cooperate with on the federal government level. so the question then becomes -- it is outrageous on its face. i think 90% of our viewersow watching right now would say, it is wrong, it is wrong morally, it is wrong politically, it is wrong public safety-wise, so why? why does de blasio put himself in this position of basically giving his own people the finger? t that is what he is doing. >> he is giving his own people the finger. if you think about drunk driving for a minute, where is it more dangerous to be a drunk driver in? in new york city where there are hordes of people at any given time, walking on a sidewalk or walking in the streets? look, if you believe in america and everything that we stand for, it is time to demand an end to these criminal enclaves and anarchist, socialist, whatever you want to call this guy, who believes that for some reason, these illegals, who violated our laws to come here in the first

place, who then violate our laws again and thumb their noses at us, they have a right to stayta here and victimize americans. by the way, bill, do you know that before a drunk driver is arrested, the average statistic is that they drive drunk 80 times before they are ever convicted of a crime? >> bill: before they're caught. >> that's ridiculous. >> bill: you said, for some reason. do you know the reason de blasio -- >> i can't get into his mind. i think he's a halfwit. >> bill: a halfwit. [chuckles] >> he doesn't have the right to decide what is more criminal or what is the worst felony because to me, you talk to me about sexual abuse in the second degree or forcible touching, i could tell you stories that would make you hair stand up, bill. this guy doesn't have the right to say that because you are illegal, i will protect you from deportation and i am going to make sure that more people are subject to your forcible touching or sexual abuse. this man does not deserve to be in this country. and by the way, if you want to make sure that more people who

are criminals are out of jail and outside of the hands of justice, let some americans out of jail. >> bill: all right, judge jeanine pirro. we'll see you saturday night at 9:00. plenty ahead as "the factor" moves along. the state of texas is going to stop giving money to a county that will not obey immigration law. we'll talk to the governor about the lone star state. watters asking the folks about the big super bowl interview with donald trump. >> do you think bill will be as tough on trump as he was on obama? t >> i think he will be tougher on trump than obama. >> really? fair and balanced? >> trump can take it. >> bill: we hope you stay tuned for those reports. ♪ b what powers the digital world. communication.

withdraw more state funds, seeking court orders that will compel these officials like this sheriff to comply with the law or possibly go to jail themselves. >> bill: what does sheriff hernandez want? >> she wants to pick and choose which laws she will follow and which laws she will enforce.ic the way she is constructing her policy is exactly what happened with kate steinle. if you look at the man who killed kate steinle, he would have been released by this sheriff in travis county. i would not allow that type of conduct to occur in texas. >> bill: all right. so even though i.c.e. may ask for a detention, a hold, sheriff hernandez says, i am not going to hold criminals that homeland security might want incarcerated? i'm going to releasese them? is that what the woman is doing? >> that's exactly right, bill. and even if these people haveve had a past record of armed robbery, a criminal record, working with the mexican drug

cartels, regardless of what type of heavy-duty crime, except for three exceptions she listed, she will let these people loose on the street in the state of texas and across america. i will not allow it.te >> bill: austin is a very liberal place. and travis county, outside of austin -- this is a regular. texas place. what is her justification? sheriff'se justification for defying the federal law? >> it is her own policy. it is her own belief, her own perception of what she thinks is right. remember this, bill, she took an oath of office to uphold the united states constitution and laws. what she is doing now is violating that oath. >> bill: but why?hy why is she violating it? >> because this is her own perception and perhaps the perception of some people in the liberal austin city that think, they don't want to hold these people behind bars. >> bill: is ms. hernandez doing this for political reasons? is she trying to curry favor with the far left? i don't understand her motivation. >> it is both of those that you

mention. curry favor with the far left. political grandstanding. f certainly bad policy for the safety and security of the people who live in travis county and the state ofop texas. so basically, her policy is idiotic. but she is doing it to pander to the ideology of the left, just like what you see in california, which i will not allow to happen in texas. >> bill: all right, so you are going to put the hurt on the county and the sheriff. now, you did a tour of the texas border with mexico with the new homeland security chief. what was that, yesterday, did you go down there? >> that was yesterday morning. met with him, and he explained>> to me precisely what they want to do, when they want to do it, how they want to do it. it was his first time to see the rio grande river. that component of the barrier. then he had a better feel and takeaway for what it would be like to secure that region of the country.

remember this, bill, the rio grande valley is the most insecure, the most porous part of our border right now. >> bill: the national park, one of the beautiful parts of america. you don't need a wall there, it is so hard to get througho because of the mountains and rivers and everything. it will be a wall where you it will be a wall where you need it. is that the vision? >> that is exactly right. what the secretary understands of it is called "layering assets." boots on the ground, detectors on the ground, boats in the water, several layers of air technology, plus the fencing used strategically, all combined will finally secure our border. also, remembering, it is just a policy difference from what the obama administration did, which was, "come on across the border, don't worry about it." the trump administration is making it clear you won't be allowed across. >> bill: all right, governor. thanks for your b time. we appreciate it. when we come right back from southern california, bernie goldberg and jesse watters, both will preview my super bowl interview with president trump. moments away. you really want to go.

who joins us from miami. my interview with president trump will be mostly about policy, bernie., in your opinion, what is most important in that arena? >> first, let me say for the record, that i am against t presidential interviews on super bowl sunday. it is the one day of the year that red-blooded americans should not have to be exposed to political b.s. okay, i got that out of the way. second, because i am your friend, i often give you advice. i'm hoping that you will get better at your job and maybe someday really be successful. i'm hoping that. >> bill: [laughs] >> i told you, don't do a policy interview. don't ask about immigration and taxes and obama. don't do that. ask out-of-the-ordinary questions. i gave you an example last week that you didn't like. >> bill: i am rejecting it. not going to do it. >> "mr. president, why do you brag so much?" i got another one for you that you won't ask either. but take a listen to it. if you have a pencil --

do you have a pencil? write it down. >> bill: i got a pen. i have it. >> here's a question. mr. president, powerful people often get into trouble because they pay too much attention to their most devoted supporters and not enough attention to their critics. is there anything your critics could tell you, mr. president, that would make you a better president? if he says no, you have made news. that clip will be played 10,000 times. if he says yes, then you will y ask him, well, what can you learn from your critics that would make you a better president? i have no illusions, bill, that you will ask that question. >> bill: i am not going to ask it as a stand-alone. but that kind of a question on the heels of another question, which i'm going to ask very early in the interview -- people have to understand, fox sports is going to play 10 minutes of this interview. okay? 8 minutes of the policy hard news and 2 minutes of football.

that will be it. 4:00 p.m. on sunday. the rest of it is going to be on "the factor" on monday and tuesday. that is not a crazy -- the other questions weren't crazy, either, i don't want to demean them. but what i have to do, in my mind, is get into the policy aspect because so much that is happening so quickly in america that people need to process this. and i have this rare opportunity in history to sit down rightth across from him and say,n "why are you doing this, why didn't you do that?" boom, boom, boom.
