i'm bill o'reilly. please, always remember that the spin stops here. because we are definitely looking out for you. ♪ >> tucker: welcome to "tucker speak of this is a fox news alert, a major shakeup in washington within the trump administration. national security advisor michael flynn resigning just a short time ago. it follows reports that he had misled vice president mike pence and other officials about his contacts with russia. his departure upends trump senior team after less than one month in office, and in a resignation letter, flynn said he held numerous calls with the russian ambassador to the u.s. during the transition and it gave incomplete information about those discussions to vice president mike pence. the vice president apparently relying on information from flynn, initially said that

national security advisor had not discussed sanctions with the russian envoy. though, slane later admitted that the issue may have come up. earlier today, kellyanne conway said has the full confidence of president trump. white house second sean spicer had told reporters that the president was monitoring the situation and it was speaking to the vice president and others on his team about flynn's future. we now know that flynn has made a future for himself by resigning. let's turn now to john roberts with more details about this. john. >> kelly, good evening. we saw this developing throughout the day. at the white house. the president according to sources close to him was willing to hang in there with flynn, willing to try and make it work, patch over the damage, but it was flynn himself, according to one of the source of self that cratered on this and decided to take himself out apparently. again, according to the source, everyone feels badly about the

fact that flynn is now gone from the white house, particularly about what a loyal loyal soldier he was to the president throughout the entire campaign and all the campaign events, and he was at his side advising him on national security all the way along through that arduous campaign. in the primaries and in the fall. we now know who the leading candidates are. keith kellogg, who is the chief of staff and of the executive secretary of the national security council, he's the acting right now. he is the leading candidate. but i don't think that's the person that president trump really wants. he's a vietnam veteran. he 72 years old. he's just a little bit older than the president, but i think he's looking for someone who perhaps is a little bit younger. he's looking at -- as is number one candidate, vice admiral robert howard. he was a former deputy commander down there in tampa. it was really interested harward

served under maddox. the two of them would likely have a very close relationship still, and they would be a very strong connection between the pentagon and the white house. here's where harward is potentially a better fit than david patraeus who was also one of the three top candidates for the position, of course you know, you saw david patraeus president-elect trump many times at trump tower. here's the reason why. patraeus is viewed with a degree of skepticism. you could probably put james mattis in that group. so if if you broaden patraeus,u definitely have some wobblies going on there. this president has kind of adopted abraham lincoln's team of rivals to some degree, but i'm not sure he wants that much of a rivalry between the pentagon and the nsc. if you put harward in there, it probably wouldn't say good with

mattis. he's a former member of seal team three. he knows the national security council. he was there under president bush. also started the national counterterrorism center. this guy is tough as nails, according to a highly placed sources at the white house. he's no games, he's just a straight shooter, a solid rock, i am told. veteran of a direct iraq and afghanistan. tough military guy who's been in the stuff, knows what goes on around the world, knows the consequences that the lack of taking military action. they think that he would be a very strong advisor to this president. with flynn, you have loyalty, but you had some issues they are going all the way back to the sun and the security clearances. of course you have the conversations with the russian ambassador, then leading to misleading the vice president. you have problems that are among the wireless. with harward they don't think there would be any problems, but they don't really know him. they want to get the two of them together and make sure they can

joke because as i said before, the national security advisor, other than the chief of staff, your senior counselor, your senior advisor, probably the closest person to the president, one who shares real estate in the immediate west wing with the president, so you want to have somebody there you can trust and who will be loyal and somebody you like. >> john, sort of the fact that will be visiting the white house. this is breaking prior to that visit. this is a very important meeting for the president of the united states as you know. he needs his national security council and his team in place to move forward some of the plans that the two leaders will likely discuss in terms of relationships with israel in the united states. particular, as it deals with the fight against terrorism. john, do you think the president will act quickly upon a decision for his new national security advisor or will he just go with the interim for now? >> i think he will go quickly.

i do not believe that he can bring in a new national security advisor and get them up to speed that quickly. even as much as harward knows national security, even as much as david patraeus knows national security, knows all the players. harward knows them to because he was with centcom. if you were sent calmly cover the. israel's part of your territory. over the next two days, it would be difficult to bring in a replacement that quickly. they will probably stick with kellogg here to the tick tack talks. there is no meeting set up with any big leaders, that i know of. so possibly know but beginning of next week he could have a replacement in there. if you just give me a second here while i hang on the phone, i am just getting some more information here. 's. to speak out what you're saying that, i'm going to let people know what they are looking at might be turning in for the moment right now. the breaking news is that

national security advisor michael flynn has resigned. from his post. and now the white house is actually looking in terms of what it has to do in order to find a new member -- they have an interim member and right now, who is lieutenant general keith kellogg. we are talking to white house chief correspondent john roberts about all of the fallout from this. john, you are looking at your phone to get some more information. what is the latest? >> unfortunately, my information flow right now is a limited to talking to you on my iphone and the taking eyes off of it detect my checks messages. to give you a little bit of background to all of this. in terms of flynn, senior administration official is telling me that flynn was literally at the president side for the last 72 hours.

he was there with him in mar-a-lago. he was at the skiff all we can. skiff is an active or sensitive compartment information facility. that is where he basically lived, which is where he gets all of the classified information coming in and deliver onto the president. he was on five world leader calls. he was appointment on the presidential briefing that the candidate visit. of course the missile test in north korea. apparently, he had a lot of continuity in confidence from the president. but apparently just always, according to the source, new reports and a tort of information compelled flynn to resign. he knew that everything that was coming over that he just was going to be too much of a distraction for this president. this president's got enough on his plate without his senior member of his team kind of attracting a spotlight in a negative fashion that flynn was.

when did the honorable thing, i think, fell on his sword and cleared the path for the president to get that particular controversy off of his desk. there are a lot of people who are going to want to note, it was flynn acting on behalf of the president? once the source of the problem is gone, it's much easier to put a band-aid over the wound and move move on. to speak out now it is time to move on. john roberts giving us updated, john thank you so much for our reporting. we are going to take a break for a moment from john and joining us now is retired lieutenant colonel michael wants. he is a fox news contributor who acted as a policy advisor for present george w. bush. sir, what can you tell us about your response of the fallout from this and to the fact that michael flynn has resigned from his post as national security advisor is now being replaced by interim lieutenant general keith kellogg? >> good evening.

i should say good morning. i just want to remind folks of a few things. one, general flynn, 33 years of honorable service in the army come up multiple combat tours with service in afghanistan and iraq. truly a great american. it's a shame to see this kind of controversy in him embroiled in it. it would not surprise me if it emerges to be the case that he did truly step down to clear the path as john mentioned for the president to move forward with his policy agenda. i am looking at a few things. one i will be very interested to see how the russians respond. the sun is rising in moscow as we speak. i think from their perspective, they were probably seeing a number of mixed singles. it's been widely reported that

they've been seeking better relations and very excited about the possibility of better relations from this administration on the other hand, it's been reported that president putin and president trump potentially had a difficult call over this nuclear treaty, and now they are going to wake up to see the national security advisor step down over her interactions with russia. how will they respond to all of this? i can just tell you, having served in the white house, the senior staff absolutely have to have the confidence of the president, the confidence of the vice president, and if that is broken in any way, you have to remove yourself. >> is the president moves forward, he, as john roberts talked about, we'll have to find a advisor. he will have to have someone he can talk to and speak to one possible candidate is vice

admiral robert harward who already has a close connection to james mattis. because of that there might be some synergy between the pentagon and the national security team. that would be very important for president trump to move forward. would it not? >> that would be important. admiral harward has a great reputation. as a seal, as a special operato operator. he ran the training command out in afghanistan that is responsible for the training for the advising or the equipping of the afghan national army. that is the key element of our strategy in afghanistan to move the country forward, and frankly to allow them to stand on their own at some point so we can gradually step away from that war effort. not only understanding the

direct action, killing the bad guys at the seals are so great at, but also really understanding how we rebuild entire militaries in case of afghanistan and iraq so they can stand on their own. i think harward would be a great choice. i think the relationship with mattis would be great. i'm excited to see that move forward. >> lieutenant colonel michael waltz, we thank you for joining us this evening. you both alluding to the fact that michael flynn, in fact, a general general likely decided to fall on the sword and for the administration to move on and to get a clean break from the fallout over what he may or may not have said to the russians. again, sir, thank you for joining us. chief correspondent john roberts was reporting with us, thank you for being with us again. once again, national security advisor michael flynn has resigned. it comes after just a month on the job. in a resignation letter, flynn said he has held numerous calls with the russian ambassador to

the u.s. during transition and gave incomplete information about those discussions to vice president mike pence. i am kelly wright.

curious and mean-spirited. he said he is conservative now. he did vote for miller kuchta macular clinton a few months ago. chadwick moore joins s us from here. >> as you can see, i left my scarlet letter at home. it sounds like you got one oned have this ability interesting piece "the new york post." it jumped outut at me immediatey that was after viewing this profile, what you describe, is pretty straightforward. telling who he is. in one of your best friends disowned you as a friend. >> right. this is a story that is just repeated constantly. everyone lost family members. when i voted for hillary clinton, everyone just assumed i was a trump supporter. why would you assume that? approved generic profile was extremely balanced, and i did treat him any different than i would've treated anyone else. but people are not accustomed to hearing those sorts of storieson about controversial figures, people on the far right. >> tucker: you found yourself

looking at the community you live in through very different lengths all of a sudden and what did you see? es paranoia, mean-spirited nest and an aversion to uunderstanding. an aversion to communicating with people who do not agree with you. rs understanding why exactly trump became so popular and eventually won.wi now that the election is over, sort of evaluating how the democratic party and the far left alienated people and how they messed up so badly. i thought after the election they would have sat down and had a come-to-jesus moment. that has not happened at all. >> tucker: interesting, you wrote this piece before the election, right? >> yes, about a month before. >> tucker: the reaction is so interesting, the world you live in was ascended. every rights battle that's been fought over the past ten years, a victory. it looked like hillary clinton was going to be elected. why the closed mindedness and

it seems like people used to be really happy. >> that's a very good question. i do not know if it is the nature of people are not taught to think critically, the friendship bubbles, social media bubbles, this reinforcing of hearing your opinions about it back at you constantly. uncontrollable paranoia. it is really sad and damaging to journalism, journalists are terrified of these. it's just very, very sad and upsetting and more people -- i do not think it's the majority of people and the majority of people on the left. >> tucker: i do not think it is either. not with the people i know.n one of the saddest casualties along with decency and open-mindedness is curiosity. when you sort of get in a place like that, it's very hard to be interested in people who disagree with you and for journalist, yeah?

>> yes, and it is for gay. i have always said that gay people are natural libertarians. so long throughout history, outside of contemporary society, one thing we've always wanted was to be left alone by the government and by our neighbors essentially. now the right has become -- or the left has become purely puritanical and it was off putting. >> tucker: what a journey you are on. i hope you keep writing about this. most of you were appalled when rioters halted a speech by milo yiannopoulos, up next we will talk to an activist who helpedpp organize those protests and who thinks those tactics should be copied by other activists. stay tuned for that. ine's gifts, helzberg diamonds knows bigger isn't always better. our beautiful diamond heart pendant is just $299.99.

>> tucker: it has been two weeks since rioters at uc berkeley forced the cancellation of a speech by milo yiannopoulos, most people were appalled buttu he is not among those people. besides working as a public school teacher in california, she is a national organizer for the coalition's affirmative action of immigration and immigrant rights and fight for equality by any means necessary. b.a.m. is the acronym, disrupting something in sacramento. >> [bleep]. >> go, boy! i >> [bleep].

>> [bleep] you! >> [bleep]. >> standdown! get back! >> tucker: she helped organize the berkeley protest and she said activists ought to copy the tactics.rg for other speakers and events around the country. she is with us now. c you did a bunch of interviews after and you were asked about this and to your credit i think you were very straightforward and unapologetic and said the sky was a fascist and we shut them down. and that is what you do with fascists. i think i am character is what he said correctly. just so we can understand the standard here, what is a fascist? >> a fascist is someone who is organizing a mass movement attacking women, immigrants, black people, other minority groups in a movement of genocide.

that is what fascist is. >> tucker: someone who is committing violence? >> trying to organize other people to commit violence as well. milo yiannopoulos is a fascist. >> tucker: he has committedio acts of violence against the groups you mentioned? a >> what he's doing is trying to be the face and token that other people were trying to harm people are hiding behind. what he has done is created this lynch mob mentality, supporters come not only agree with his views but also attack other people. that was certainly true in washington state when one of his supporters came and actually shot an antifascist protester. in berkeley, we made sure that didn't happen because we shut it down. >> tucker: you are saying that milo himself has not committede acts of violence. he would be in jail if he did. but because people agree with them have committed violence, he

should not be allowed to speak? >> fascist movement takes many forms.ea it always tries to have one form that looks respectable and a little bit milder. yiannopoulos is not just a stand-up comedian. he does not just post facts on youtube. he was funded by breitbart and steve bannon to go around to college campuses to recruit other young people on his behalf and on trump's behalf. i'm glad to say that thousands of us were out there last week,h february 1st, and made sure that there were thousands of us to make sure that we descended our campus, this community and the immigrant and muslim students who were under attack. and have been under attack by him and other fascists. >> tucker: by using violence. you do not shy away, that's the name of your group. what should we do with fascists? if you think someone is espousing genocide, what should we do with that? should that person be allowed ts walk free?in should we put them in jail,

should we kill them or exiled them? if we do were willing to use violence, what is the penalty for that?xi >> we have to nip it in the bud. we have to make sure they are not allowed to recruit and they should not be allowed to call for the people -- take away the platform. >> tucker: he was not ever said that a public anyway, not that we have a record of. there is no evidence that he has called for the genocide of anybody. but you are saying by transference in some way, he is inspiring people. when you say nip in the bud, should he be allowed to go on the subway and talk to the guy next to him -- what should we do at the fascists that are used say inspiring genocide? >> the alt-right is a neofascist movement.

they are trying to hide behind some softer versions of their more open counterparts who identified themselves as nazis. they're still part of the sameou movement. when someone is trying to speak at a campus or rally, they are doing it not because they havent an opinion but someone like yiannopoulos or all the rightg person or neofascist are trying to recruit other people. we do not let them recruit and in fact when you look back at the holocaust and the lessons we draw from it, we do not say which let them voice their opinion. we say never again. >> tucker: we elevate people like members against the leader of nazi germany to kill him. that was the response of course the leader of that fascist movement was apparently legitimate. you are not answer my question. do people like milo who you decided our fascists should be allowed to speak in public? they weren't allowed to speak at berkeley -- >> he should not be allowed to speak in public to spread his racist and misogynistic lies.

no, he does not have the right to do that. when he is using his speech to wipe up attacks on people, he does not have the right to do that. the lies about our humanity? no. we have a right to defend ourselves with that. >> tucker: of course in the case of berkeley -- >> i didn't say that. if you are trying to spread it racism, misogyny, whip up people to lynch people or have that mentality to rape people or to lynch people -- any decent human being, whether it was in a classroom or at a restaurant, if they heard someone doing that would turn around and tell them you need to stop talking. you areon not welcome here. this is not a safe environment. you need too go. >> tucker: you are a middle school teacher, which might surprise some viewers. the first amendment was kind of the cornerstone of civic life. you have the right to say something that other people may vehemently disagree with but you

have that right. do you teach that to your students? >> the first amendment is about free speech. there was one in who is espousing rape or genocide or attack on muslims, i would stand up for the rest of my students and told them they need to stop and if they refuse to, they m t would need to leave. >> tucker: would you hit them? >> i'm not finished yet. if there is a fascist in any situation that i was in, i would call for other people to take action too but is not just aboui the immediate moment. it is always in the context of building a movement. j >> tucker: you are getting off track.n as you said and rightly so, if there was a student in your class who started espousing what you believe it's fascism, and you said you need to leave and be quiet, and they did not leave, would you hit them?u

would you beat them up? >> of course not. we're talking about people who -- in sacramento, there were fascists who had knives tied at the ends of sticks and they stabbed people. >> tucker: not the man thatt you hit. >> yes, actually they did. it's funny to you but is actually not funny to the rest of us. >> tucker: i know you take it seriously and that is why i'm asking a simple question. i >> we are not talking about a classroom. we are talking about people who are trying to kill and murder people and have already done itl and are trying to create a hostile environment on these campuses in order to do that. that's not a safe environment for immigrant students, for women or muslim students or transgender students. so yeah, we have a right to defend ourselves. >> tucker: one last question,

if i may. the protocol for antifascism, you are standing on a street corner and someone start saying something you don't like and you think boy, that is an act of hostility -- that person is a fascist. >> this is not ben & jerry's versus stone cold pizza or something. this is about the lives of real people, immigrants were under attack. >> tucker: i've got that. i am asking you how deep is your commitment -- i'm not trivializing this. to what extent would you go to stop that person from spreading genocidal propaganda? >> i would call for people to counter protest, to stand up and to shut down the fascist recruit. >> tucker: what if i keep

talking?i i have a first amendment right, i am an american. if i say no, i am not going to stop that i am an american. what are you going to do? >> you want to talk about the first amendment? coretta scott king's letter was not allowed to be read in the senate. and yet at the same time, you are the one who is actually trying to defend someone like a fascist speaking and recruiting at a college campus.al >> tucker: i do not want to take away your free speech rights.it thank you for coming on and showing us what you believe. teachers at a virginia high school are posting propaganda and of course, the administration is not doing anything about it. we'll talk to a student who actually goes there, who will tell us what he has experienced and what happened when he complained. stay tuned. my insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got...

the signs are still up, joining us now is a senior at yorktown high school, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: your high schooloo has in its bylaws essentially the pledge that students can expect an apolitical school environment, what did you do next? >> i tried to contact the school, i told my parents, i said it looks like political propaganda and we contacted the school, we emailed the principal, getting referred to some of the teachers, we emailed back and forth with the teachers and then we went higher to the school board and talked with our local radio station and from there they contacted the superintendent and they saidng they were going to take the signs down. that was over the weekend period. we had gotten word that they change their minds, and they were keeping the signsns up.

>> tucker: why am so impressed with the response is this is the sleekest kind of propaganda, passing itself off as obvious of observations -- this is an attack with conservatives over evolution. >> and climate change.s >> tucker: when you said this is political wanted they say? >> they said it's not political, it was relevant and it was apolitical and it was ridiculous to me, such a heated political climate right now, this is very relevant. >> tucker: you took this to some local media, and one of the headline said conservative students at yorktown are against diversity. was that the message you are bringing? >> of course not. i support women, and i support minorities. it's ridiculous to say that i do not. it is crazy that someone would even bring that notion up. >> tucker: so they are saying

these things are true, there's no debate about them.. it's not political. the right to keep and bear arms is in the constitution, if you were to post that on the wall how would that go over? >> there's a serious double standard here. that would not be accepted on the walls of the school, they would see through that easily, it's majority liberal. there's no way you'll be able to put conservative things like that on the wall. you will not be able to -- >> tucker: use operate through this and you had the guts to confront them about this and it did not do anything good but it said something about you.. >> a lot of students saw it, saw through it and whatnot speak up and i talked to our teenage republican group and they said they did not want to comment because they did not want to start anything and i thought that was ridiculous. come on. you've got to say something when you see something wrong like this. >> tucker: amen. john piper, i will vote for you

for senate someday. thank you for joining us. up next, piers morgan try to point out that trump'sor inauguration order is not exactly a muslim ban, he got the middle finger. from jim jeffries and from author j.k. rowling. [laughs] piers morgan joins us after the break. >> there is no -- >> [bleep] off. >> there is no movement, if there was -- >> [bleep] you.

hambone! sally! 22! hut hut! tiki barber running a barber shop? yes!!! surprising. yes!!! what's not surprising? how much money david saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. who's next?

>> there is no movement, if there was -- >> [bleep] you.>> >> this is a talk about hysteria, i'm talking about 85% -- he's not going to do all these

things, give him a [bleep] chance, mate. he did not kill the jews on the first day -- work up to it. >> tucker: that was jim jeffries, the comedian from australia. then piers morgan got into a twitter spat with harry potter author, j.k. rowling. growing tweeted this... piers replied, saying... rowling retorted this way... and so on. for dozens of tweets. when he is not battling beloved children's authors on the

internet, he is a writer for dailymail.com. the results are unbelievable. what was the argument jim jeffries was making, f off? what does that mean exactly? >> he was just shutting me down to go forth and multiply. j we had just had a lengthy segment in the show, the "bill maher show" about the need for president trump to be more factual, to always tell the truth and not to be erroneous. and then we moved on to -- i think bill mentioned it first and i said it is not actually a muslim ban. i wrote a column for the daily mail when this executive order came out saying i did not agree with that. i thought it was wrong. however, you cannot call something a muslim ban if 85% of the world's muslims can still come into the united states. i thought it was very important to make that point and make it strongly given we just had a bit

debate about facts. and jim jeffries did not like this, he didn't really have any argument to put to me. and then he used hitler analogy. hitler did not kill the jews all on day one. this hitler stuff with donald trump is unbelievably offensive. i do not think he's killed 12 million people, systematic extermination -- this is not something we should be throwing around about other people, unless they have done similar acts. donald trump to my knowledge has not murdered anybody. all right? this analogy of him being theal new hitler i find incredibly offensive. it diminishes the scale and importance and horror of what hitler did. i think that should just be shut

down. you try and save this and if you are not prepared in the liberal world to say that he is the new hitler and you are not prepared to say every muslim is banned from the country, you yourself then become the devil. that's what happened to me. >> tucker: you are complicit in thesese crimes. i am interested, a lot of people especially at her station, affluent, well-known celebrities, she was really upset. more upset than i've ever seen a class of people ever be upset. what is that about, you think there will be a pretty good moo because they are insulated from every economic variation? why are they so mad right now? >> well, she is a serial loser. she screamed the people to vote in a certain way, the more her people have lost. this goes through the checklistt of glorious failure. she then moved on to back the campaign to stay in europe and obviously we had brexit so we

lost that as well. she through her substantial political influence behind hillary clinton and of course, she got a drumming from a nonpolitician. if you are j.k. rowling, you're 3 for 3. you are the worst celebrityow political pundit on the entire planet. i understand her pain.ca she is synonymous with this sort of absurdly arrogant supercilious kind of view so many celebrities have now on the left. you know i'm more to the left than the right. i cannot stand this anti-trump hysteria which is now infesting every part of the political debate. donald trump's been president for less than one month, he is not been remotely monstrous, not by any standards of a dictator. as i said on the show, let's just take a gigantic chill pill

and see how he plays out? i happen to be quite encouraged, i've watched as interactions with japan, china, he looks to me to be somebody easing into the position of president and actually being quite pragmatic and pretty sensible. why don't we just all stop marching every time he tweets? stop screaming every time he says anything and just calm down. >> tucker: great advice. >> just go right about hogwarts, wizard, i've never read a word of harry potter.us go immerse yourself in the world of muggles. like leonardo dicaprio, if you want to talk about climate change, he went with al gore to talk with the president about climate change.

but to be somebody famous and just assume that your view somehow is more important than everybody else's, and if you disagree with that view you must scream them down like they are the devil, i think that is pathetic.e >> tucker: great to see you. coming up next, the oroville dam is on the brink of failure, we will ask why this happened. they knew it was coming, how die it get this far? stay tuned sure we could travel, take it easy... but we've never been the type to just sit back... not when we've got so much more to give when you have the right financial advisor, life can be brilliant. ameriprise this is one gorgeous truck. special edition.
