5:00 pm
>> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on tonight. >> the motive and conduct of our colleague from alabama. >> i ask a leave of the senate to continue my remarks. >> i appeal the ruling. the senator will take her seat. >> bill: far left senator elizabeth warren scolded for trying to impeach the character of senator jeff sessions. an amazing display. we'll have the inside story. >> i belong to europe and to the european culture and the muslims belong to the places where they came from. >> bill: a shocking new poll for month and on whether europeans want to continue with open muslim immigration.
5:01 pm
also, ahead, lou dobbs and i on the biggest threats to america. 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. adventures on the far left. that is the subject of this evening "talking points" memo. as you may know, the democratic party is split between moderates and far left folks. but it is the ideological zealots that get most of the attention. this week, betsy devos was confirmed as education secretary. but before that vote took place, liberal bomb thrower al franken attacked miss devos and senate. >> it was one of the most embarrassing scenes i have witnessed during my time in the united states senate. in fact, i believe it may have been one of the most embarrassing performances by a
5:02 pm
nominee in the history of the united states senate. >> bill: now, the reason franken does not like betsy devos is that she is a champion of school choice. she is devoted much of her life trying to bring quality education to poor kids, often trapped and bad bad inner-city schools. you would think that an uber liberal like franken would approve of trying to help poor children but he does not. why? because by offering school vouchers and encouraging charter schools, which are run apart from the public school system, miss devos is challenging the powerful teachers union. those unions and their associates have donated more than $150,000 to al franken's campaign. how enlightening. so, franken, like many politicians, panders to those who give him money. it is beyond question that poor american children, offer minorities, are not getting the same quality of education that meant a class of wealthy children are. why not try something new?
5:03 pm
why not try school choice? why not give poor parents subsidies to choose better schools for their kids? why not? how long are we going to put up with discrimination against the poor? how long, al? and other far left adventure, senator elizabeth y can get kim attacked senator jeff sessions and hearings over whether mr. sessions should become the new attorney general. what warren did was try to read a letter written by coretta scott king 31 years ago. 31. that criticized mr. sessions. all it has to do with the senator prosecuting a voter fraud case in alabama while he was a u.s. attorney there. the situation involved three civil rights activists who sessions believed were committing voter fraud. the three were ultimately acquitted of the charges and mrs. king was furious with the case. again, that was 31 years ago. but last night, seeking to jeff sessions as a racist, warren brought up in the senate
5:04 pm
senates. >> the senators impugned the motive and conduct from our colleague from alabama as warned by the chair. senator warren, said senator sessions has used the awesome power of his office to chill the pre-exercise of the vote by black citizens. >> i am surprised that the words of coretta scott king are not suitable for debate in the united states senate. i asked leave of the senate to continue my remarks. >> is their objection? >> object. >> i appeal the ruling. >> objection is heard. >> the senator will take her seat. >> bill: later, senator warren read the later on facebook. you can decide whether the far left is really looking out for the country by objecting to school choice and trying to smear a man like senator sessions. that is entirely up to you. but what is crystal clear is a huge divide between the
5:05 pm
attitudes of the far left and moderates in the democratic party. not to mention republicans, where there is no common ground at all. talking points believes that honest debate is but part of that equation is letting you know what is really going on behind the scenes. thus, tonight's "memo." now cover the top story reaction member with us here, eric bolling and geraldo rivera. am i going wrong, geraldo? >> you know, the call for robust and sincere debate in the united states senate, i think that even you will admit, bill, a sophomoric at this time. these are two sites that hate each other. you sought in election, how close it was. the winning candidate getting the electoral college majority, the losing candidate getting almost 3 million more votes. they are energized, the left, the frankens the warrens of the democratic party, that have shown that they have got the spirit to fight, the leaders of the democratic party have absolutely wimped out. they blew the election big time.
5:06 pm
they failed to campaign in the midwest. now, the rallying cry will be -- >> remember merrick garland. >> bill: this far left stuff will re-energize the democratic party to take back power? >> i think they are a party that exists in name only. i think that these leftists will energize it so that it might recover in the midterm and for the midterm elections. >> i think the democrats realize that they can't win any of these. they can put up a big fight, they can get on tv, they love the tv cameras, every one of them, the louder they go, the more provocative things they say, they get tv cameras, exposure on "the o'reilly factor." i will tell you, i think this is a brilliant strategy by the g.o.p. i hope that the white house is involved. for much mcconnell, knowing he had to sessions locked up, he will get a sessions as the attorney general. to stop elizabeth warren in her tracks while she is reading a letter from caretta scott king, to stop her and her tracks,
5:07 pm
thereby giving her all of his political credit. he just gave her -- >> she is raising money. i think they gave her her 2020 political ad when she runs against trump. trump says -- >> bill: you say it is a destructive thing for the democratic party in the long run, most americans aren't going to go this far left. you say that you think americans are going to -- >> i say this is gross hypocrisy. i saw with my own eyes senator ted cruz called the majority leader mitch mcconnell a liar on the floor of the senate and i didn't see anybody raise this rule to say that ted cruz was violating the rules of the senate, sit down as if you are a sixth grade school child. >> bill: they are different things, though. >> there are rules. >> there are rules in the senate because -- before the civil war, people retaining each other. >> that is what is going to come to. orrin hatch called it the
5:08 pm
world's most deliberative, greatest deliberative body. the world's greatest deliberative body. >> fasten your seat belt, for the next two years. >> that was brilliant come a long game strategy. not a short game strategy. long game strategy. we were in room rivera thinks that most americans, for some reason, we'll go over to the elizabeth warren al franken sighed. >> most democrats, most people who did not vote for donald trump are either fearful right now or they are angry. fear and anger will motivate. they are insisting -- >> the wimps that represent them and need to get their courage. >> bill: i don't think it will ever happen. it's because she's our opportunity to get the spotlight, that big of a massive push. everybody with her money at her, cory booker, did anybody mention cory booker today? nobody mentioned cory booker. did anybody mention nancy pelosi? coretta scott king.
5:09 pm
>> of course -- >> reading from some far some far left tobacco -- >> she had a right to read that letter. >> hopefully, the white house realizes -- >> bill: if you allow a letter read by coretta scott king or anybody else, then, you have to let them all. it is what they call "hearsay." >> they let them lead the read the letter later in the day. >> bill: there is rules that you cannot impugn the character of another fellow senator, which clearly she is doing by implying he was a racist. >> i think they let her right into the trap. >> i think it is off the mark. here is a senator who grew up in the deep south, who really had a checkered past in terms of the civil rights, a personal evolution, an arc, which i think he should not run away from. he should embrace it. strom thurmond. he should embrace it as part of america's change. >> bill: whether he is embracing anything, i don't care that it was 31 years ago.
5:10 pm
i think he presents his case and the other side, warren, present their case. then, you have the vote. he will be the attorney general. that is what is going to happen. okay. but you have to have decorum in the senate. you can't have people smearing each other as racists. that is not allowed. but what about franken, we are giving him a pass. he doesn't want the poor kids to have a better school. >> you and franken should have had a knife fight. >> bill: i am nonviolent. [laughter] >> franken is very articulate and entertaining. >> bill: no, he's not. >> he is so short. >> bill: i would have to have a knife. a swiss army knife. i would keep missing him. he doesn't want the poor kids to have good education. if you want to argue about charter schools, that is a whole different thing. >> they saw that coming, they earmarked for devos nomination nomination. >> she wanted guns for shooting
5:11 pm
grizzly bears! [laughs] >> bill: you are obsessed. rivera is so out to lunch, the counter is closed. next on the rondeau, a senator will weigh in, a real senator, on the sessions situation and talk about president trump's travel ban. then, at miller on the mystery of tom brady's missing jersey. texas rangers have been assigned to crack the case. those reports after these messages. man: i'll have the meat loaf. what about you? sorry, just getting a quote on motorcycle insurance from progressive. yeah? yeah, they have safe rider discounts, and with total loss coverage, i get a new bike if mine's totaled. but how's their customer service? great. 24/7. just like here. meat loaf! [dings bell] just like here. anybody got a pack... that needs leadin'? serving all your motorcycle insurance needs. now, that's progressive.
5:12 pm
5:13 pm
tomorrow's the day besides video games. every day is a gift. especially for people with heart failure. but today there's entresto... a breakthrough medicine that can help make more tomorrows possible. tomorrow, i want to see teddy bait his first hook. in the largest heart failure study ever, entresto was proven to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading heart failure medicine. women who are pregnant must not take entresto. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby.
5:14 pm
don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. if you've had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine, don't take entresto. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. tomorrow, i'm gonna step out with my favorite girl. ask your doctor about entresto. and help make the gift of tomorrow possible. ♪ >> bill: impact segment tonight, federal court of appeals debating the legality of president trump's rep rudy ordered the hold up in the entry to america. that on top of a number of new policy instructions by the administration. joining us from washington, senator sasse from nebraska. first of all, your reaction to your colleague, elizabeth warren, and what you try to do to jeff sessions. >> first of all, i heard your
5:15 pm
last segment. i think geraldo predicted we need to bring canes back on the floor of the senates. her references to grizzly and knives. let's face it, the senate has fancied itself the greatest deliberative body in the world for 240 years. for quite a long time it hasn't been that. that doesn't mean we should abandon that. we should go back to actually debating the biggest problems that face america. right now, the senate isn't a very serious place. it needs to be again. it is unfortunate when rules like that are violated. >> bill: do you think that senator warren should have been allowed to read mrs. king's letter? >> you know, i think that there's all sorts of really important history of the civil rights movement that we should be celebrating. but the rule, rule 19, nothing says primetime television like esoteric rules of the u.s. senate, rule 19 makes it clear that you can't impugn the motives of another senator. you can't do it even by putting it in somebody else's voice. a violation of the rules. >> bill: a clear violation but senator warren doesn't seem to respect the rules as they are written. now, you have not been a fan of
5:16 pm
donald trump's. but his cabinet selections are embraced by the majority of the republicans holding office. what say you about them? >> i think he has named a lot of really, really strong folks. general mattis, let's start there. he is an absolute rock star, when you talk to people at the pentagon who have worked there over the course of the last 50 years, there's probably no one who has been held in higher esteem there in 50 years. i am 44, i know a bunch of guys my age or a few years younger or what the pentagon when he was there, and of their active-duty careers when he was running the marines. a lot of them say, if he led ben into battle today, he would quit their jobs and follow him into battle. a lot of good folks like that, the mattis tillerson access on formulating the foreign policy in the age of cyber war and jihad, a lot of really good picks. let's acknowledge the single most significant thing the president has done in these first three weeks. frankly, the biggest thing that any president can do in the next three or four years, neil gorsuch is an absolute rock sta
5:17 pm
rock star. >> bill: judge gorsuch, today, actually criticized the president for his remarks about the judge who stalled the refugee thing. let's get to that refugee executive order. you know, seven nations, all of those nations are out of control. anybody can get on a plane in tripoli, go to paris, change plays, come to kennedy in new york. you have objected to the order, why? >> first of all, let's back up. i affirmed the goal of what the president is trying to do. fundamentally, we haven't taken borders seriously enough in this country for a really long time. we need to do more rigorous vetting of people who are coming to this country, specifically from places where you have failed states. syria and libya, where there is an functionally any central government. terror training grounds. the goal of the order is a good goal. i affirmed the president's objective there. the details also matter. we are the kind of nation that keeps our word. we have translators who fought
5:18 pm
alongside american troops -- crispy when one that has all been directed from what i understand. >> my criticism was that the rollout to -- 's we were now, you are okay with that? >> there is a a lot of details to be worked out in the implementation. people working in in the, there details that general kelly is trying to get on. they are making a lot of important steps. >> bill: finally, your overall assessment of president trump. if you weren't a fan but he is a matter for four years. how do you think he is doing so far? >> first of all, i think we need to do a much better job in this country distant wishing between campaigns and governance. we have had an election. it doesn't matter whether people voted for donald trump -- >> bill: he has done a lot of things in three weeks. how was he doing? >> he has disrupted a lot of stuff. i think some of it is really, really good. i think the regulatory reforms are really strong. i think his cabinet picks have been strong. i think his supreme court pick as a home run. i also too think it is really important in america, i spend a
5:19 pm
lot of times with students. i speak with colleges, they don't know basic civics. they don't understand the first amendment. they don't know why the beating heart of america is freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, the right of protest. we need to celebrate those things. i don't think we are doing a very good job of that. you mentioned last night's a discord of the senate. that is not celebrating being part of america. >> bill: all right. i got to go. i am giving him a be so far. be? >> we have three separate but equal branches. not my job. >> bill: all right, senator. we will keep talking to you. directly ahead, shocking new poll out of europe says muslim immigrants are no longer wanted there. lou dobbs and i will discuss the biggest threats to america righ' now. "the factor" is coming right back. or when it's convenient. it's using state-of-the-art simulators

♪ >> bill: "factor followup" segment tonight. muslim immigration. a survey by chatham house, kind of shocking. polls taken before the executive order announced on january 27 constraining refugees from seven predominantly muslim countries. chatham asked, do you think all further migration from amy mize black muslim country should be asked? 55% say yes. just 20% say no. 20% didn't answer. joining us from washington, dr. nile gardiner, director of the heritage foundation's margaret thatcher. is it a legitimate organization? chat them? >> it is certainly a legitimate organization. a very powerful poll. chatham house, the world is viewed of international affairs is arguably the most procedures think tank. this is a very, very serious survey by serious institution. it also covers 10,000 people
5:24 pm
across ten countries throughout europe. it is a very, very big survey. i think it is one of the most important surveys that we have seen in europe in recent years with regards to attitudes towards immigration and also, respecting tremendous fear, anxiety, and europe, with regard to the huge influx of refugees that have come into europe over the last two years. this is a big, big pole, which does reflect. i think widespread concern with regard to mass immigration into europe. also, with regard to the refugee crisis. >> bill: the low number, that is what surprised me. 55%, it wasn't a surprise, there are a lot of social problems associated with the muslim migration into europe. but 20% say, yeah, we want to continue this? that is probably just the muslims themselves, right? >> it is a striking figure there, bill. there is no doubt about it.
5:25 pm
i think the wave of islamist terror attacks that we have seen across europe from france to belgium to germany in the last couple of years have had a huge impact. without a doubt, i think that there is a real sense of foreboding across much of europe and a real concern that there are more islamist terror attacks to come. so, i think that that poll really captures that sense of fear. i think that there are concerns on both sides of the atlantic with regard to the border islamist threat, of course, the recent executive order by the white house reflected that, as well. so, there are common conference, common fears on both sides. >> bill: in america, it is 50/50. but in europe, this is bad news for the angle a miracle set, the liberal politicians. if this is true, and this holds, he will see a stream of right-wing politicians seize power in europe and a bunch of other countries. >> i think it is ironic that you
5:26 pm
have seen, for example, angela condemning trump over his executive order, while at home, there is a huge concern and fear over the refugee issue unmatched immigration. without a doubt, i do think you have europe elites in power who are out of touch with their own populations, and the open borders policy implemented by angela >> bill: that's what led to brexit. >> which led to 1.3 million refugees flowing into germany, this has had a huge impact across europe. i think there has been a widespread rejection of merkel's open border approach. >> bill: all right, doctor, we appreciate it. as "the factor" moves ahead this evening, apparently, tom brady's super bowl jersey was stolen. dennis miller has some thoughts about the texas rangers getting involved. next, lou dobbs and i will assess the most serious threats to the usa. we hope you stay tuned for those

>> bill: "lou's the boss" segment. a compelling threat, what are the biggest threats to america right now? here now, fox business starr, lou dobbs. i have two grow that might surprise you. but you go first. >> i think the first and most immediate threat is the left wing in this country. the liberals that are pervasive throughout our society. donald trump talks -- president trump has been talking about for some time the movement
5:32 pm
that is his, that propelled him to the white house. but there is i think a significantly larger movement right now that reaches from academia to business to media to our public education system. it is absolutely pervasive in our society. >> bill: why is it a threat? aren't americans entitled to have left wing views if they want to? >> absolutely. it is not a question of rights. it is a question of difference in degree here and the animus that has been created by the tactics that they are employing. i didn't mention politics. we were watching in the u.s. senate, whether it be the demonstrations against the president who hadn't even been in office but a matter of hours before there were protests, half a million people in the streets of washington, d.c. it is in animus and in activism that means to destroy, not simply delegitimize a presidency, but to destroy a
5:33 pm
federal government right now that is under the control of the president of the united states. >> bill: do you think it is organized? we did a story a few weeks back on george soros funding a lot of these groups that organized the protests. he is here, the money goes to a variety of different groups, the groups dominate social media, they tell people where to go and what to do. in that way, it is organized. you think it is organized beyond that? >> yes, i do. i think that soros has created a web that is dedicated to dysfunction, disruption. and deviation from what have been the norms -- >> bill: the traditional norms of america. he doesn't like the way the country is structured. >> he does not. there is no countervailing influence. the republican party is not a countervailing organization in terms of political, economic, social power, to that of the democratic party. >> bill: yet, they lost. they lost. they lost because of one donald j. trump. >> i would submit to you that if
5:34 pm
it were not for the arrival of a highly energetic, absolutely committed populist, donald trump -- there is no way the republicans could have one. >> bill: i like that. we are putting aside al qaeda, iran, nukes, that kind of thing. obviously, that is a physical threat to all of us. my pick is -- you touched on it. higher education. because what is happening now is, no longer are the colleges and universities in america teaching the socratic method, which is ancient greece, socrates, where you teach children and young adults to be skeptical. to question, to open their minds, to find knowledge and to find the truth as they see it. that is gone. it is indoctrination and propaganda now at about 75% of the major universities. what are you turning out? you are turning out to the very people that you talked about.
5:35 pm
the zealots who will not even debate. if you disagree with them, you are dangerous. you are evil. you are wrong. >> you are to be destroyed or utterly ignored. >> bill: you are racist, you are but a bigot, you see this on college campuses, if you are not a student who buys into this far t agenda, they ostracize you. it is harder for you to even function. >> if you watch their control over our society, it moves to public unions, public employee unions. >> bill: they are weaning. >> absolutely. but still hold 35% of all union jobs held in the public sector. but to academia itself, one of the most recent studies shows a ratio of 11-1, liberal to conservative or republican professors. they inculcate, they indoctrinate. >> bill: that, down the road, not too far down the road, is going to cause enormous problems for this country. lou dobbs, everybody. isn't he a genie is?

>> bill: thanks for staying with us. i am bill o'reilly. in this "miller time" segment tonight, two hot topics, barack obama kite surfing with a very rich guy. and tom brady trying to figure out who took his super bowl jersey. >> the jersey come i put it in my bag and i came out and it wat there anymore. so, it is unfortunate because that is a nice piece of memorabilia. if it shows up on ebay similar, someone let me know, try to track that down. >> bill: texas authorities have taken it seriously. they have called in the texas rangers to help solve the brady mystery. joining is not from santa barbara, california, dennis miller. you didn't take the jersey, did you come a miller? >> no, i got two theories. either bernie sanders took half of it, laying claim to have, or this is who i think really took it, i think roger caddell took it. i think he has an unrequited man crush on tom brady.
5:41 pm
you always hurt the one you love. and i think he feels if he owns this thing that at least somewhere down the road, tom will have to visit him and ask for the jersey back and maybe they can have a rapprochement. i don't think he has recovered from the marriage to giselle bunche in. >> bill: to explain to the nonsports crowd, roger goodell, the commissioner of the nfl, deflategate got ladies have expended for four games, with the ball was too late. they suspected the quarterback took it -- >> why do you think i'm of the fans out there are like burgess meredith in that bank vault on the twilight zone? >> bill: i don't know what you are talking about, miller. it is my job to get everyone involved, but now, bernie sanders, bernie sanders, why would he want tom brady's jersey? >> he just wants half of everybody's everything. it is that purview. i think that these things are worth a lot of money. for instance, when we are on the
5:42 pm
road together doing the show, and you just wipe your brow with a piece of factor gear and throw it into the crowd, the ladies go absolutely crazy. when you just came out in reading, pennsylvania, the pair of "no spin" clubs, it was like --dash please, release me, let me go. this pre-19 don't love you anymore. >> bill: none of that ever happened. now, richard branson, very rich guy, owns a lot of airlines, owns an island down in the caribbean. and he is hanging with the former president of united states, barack obama. and they are kite surfing, miller! >> you know who wanted in on that, billy clinton. they told him that branson owned a virgin. i see the kite surfing here, i think that used to be lurch carries for his old lady, before his old lady told him he
5:43 pm
couldn't do that anymore a great sport for lightweights. unity would have to have win, you can just keep going. i will tell you one thing obama hasn't been doing since he got out is going back to chicago because it is too dangerous back there. >> bill: there's not a lot of kite surfing in chicago. not a lot of that going on. >> no, no, there's a lot of kiting checks back there. but liberals are like fire ants, billy, they cook the host organism. obama is moving to d.c., they are looking for the next dream sickle wrapper to suck on. he's not going back to chicago, what obama should do as he should host "the apprentice." they should switch jobs. arnold is not doing a good job. >> bill: now, can you see, and four or eight years, depending on how he does in the white house, donald trump kite surfing after he leaves office? can you see that? >> when i think of trump and anything not a goal, it is that his hair often reminds me of the big wave at the beginning of
5:44 pm
"hawaii 50" and is coming in and they are surfing, or it reminds me of of the ocean spray cranby juice cocktail logo. it is coming over. if he is going to go nautical, billy, he goes like that. or maybe he ends up like quincy laying on that catamaran with a hot chick putting a little spf 30 on him. you know, melania. >> bill: dennis miller, everyone. [laughter] >> i didn't even understand the last half. i can't. to be when i had a hard enough time with goodell. suggestion. if you're looking for a good valentine's day present, the flowers and candy are getting kind of old, are they not? there i feel like it's the mac tickets left to see millers, waters, and me, and omaha tacoma, washington. those two have a few tickets. during march, end of march, details on billoreilly.com. also, pretty nifty, high bar, some kind of special for valentine's day. ladies, want to sharpen the guys
