"the factor" right now. ♪ >> bill: hi, i am bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. amazing press conference with president trump today, very long, very blunt. the talking points will be in our second segment so we can run down what the president said in our first one. he is preoccupied with two main issues, illegal leaks coming from national intelligence and hatred toward him from the

national press. perhaps never before has a sitting president lashed out at the media so intensely. >> unfortunately, most of the media and washington, d.c., come along with new york, los angeles, in particular, spes not for the people, but for the special interests, and for those profiting off a very, very obviously broken system. the press has become so dishonest that we don't talk about it. we are doing a tremendous disservice to the american people, tremendous disservice. >> bill: the president singling out cnn, excoriating that network for "hateful coverage." bernie goldberg will analyze that and just a few moments. on policy, the presidents had had his administration is being damaged because people inside the u.s. intelligence agencies are leaking classified stuff. >> president trump: i spoke to

the president of mexico, had a good call. all of a sudden, it is for the world to see. it is supposed to be secret. it is supposed to be either confidential or classified in that case. same thing with australia. all of a sudden, people are finding out exactly what took place. >> bill: the president saying he will find out who the leakers are and they will be prosecuted. also, mr. trump defended his administration, saying it has done more in a short period of time than anybody thought possible. also, pointed to a poll that has his job approval rating today at 55%. then, he said the problems he is facing are worse than he though thought. >> president trump: to be honest, i inherited a mess. it's a mess. at home and abroad. a mess. jobs are pouring out of the country, you see what is going on with all of of the companies leaving our country, going to

mexico and other places. low pay, low wages, mass instability overseas, no matter where you look. the middle east, a disaster. north korea, we'll take care of it, folks. we will take care of it all. i just want to let you know. i inherited a mess. >> bill: now, it should be noted president obama said the same thing when he took over for president bush the younger. the tone of the press conference was combative, yet, the president was in command come i didn't take any golf, and answered most of the questions directly. here is my national security advisor michael flynn was fired. >> president trump: the thing is, he didn't tell our vice president properly, then, he said he didn't remember, so, either way, it wasn't very satisfactory to me.d i have somk will be outstanding for the position. >> bill: looking forward, the president said he will have a new executive order on refugees by next week. he will have a revision of

obamacare ready by march. and he reiterated he doesn't believe anything he does will be covered fairly by any and the press. joining us now from the white house, john roberts, who question the president today. so, he did not answer you when you ask him if he had read the transcript of general flynn's conversation with the russian ambassador. were you able to get us any more information on that, john? >> bill, he did not answer me directly, only to say that from what he saw and what he heard, he believed that general plan had not acted improperly. i did a little bit of digging a mess afternoon. i discover the president was in fact -- you want her this anywhere else, bill, exclusive information for you -- the president was in fact fully briefed on the content of those conversations that general michael flynn had with the russian ambassador, sergey kinsley at, by people who would know what the content of the phone conversations was, and that under repeated questioning during an investigation conducted by the white house counsel's office, general flynn,

i am told, had a full recollection of what he talked about with the russian ambassador. you will remember that general flynn had initially said that he didn't talk about sanctions, he said, maybe i don't remember, not 100% sure. he is 100% sure and he told the white house counsel's office and the people who talk to him in those interviews at the counsel's office was conducting the investigation, but he talked to the russian ambassador about. >> bill: now, i'm assuming that the white house counsel, what is his name again? >> donald mcgahn. >> bill: i'm assuming that he is the one that briefed donald trump about it. there is a transcript available. i'm just wondering why the president didn't read it himself, perhaps we will learn that next week. be that as it may, i thought that when he started off on the leakers, that this was a way to obscure if general flynn had really done any damage to this country. you know, you just deflect into a different area. did you see it that way?

>> certainly come might let me go back to what you said. i will repeat it. the president was fully briefed about the content of those conversations by people who would know what was said in those conversations and we are not talking about the white house counsel. now, back to your question, bill. obviously, a lot for the president did today and that press conference was deflect. when you go off on the media about negative stories and fake news, you are deflecting from what the issues of the day are. you are trying to change the narrative. the same thing with the leaks. this is not about with the national security advisor did, who he talked to kim what he said in those conversations. this is about the people, who leaked classified information. >> bill: is a pretty serious subject. >> it is a serious subject which is why the president, who has reached out to the department of justice to launch a criminal investigation into who was behind this. other presidents have lodged investigations into leaks and they have really gone nowhere. i think scooter libby is probably one of the only people who have been caught up in recent memory, at least, --

>> bill: dick cheney's chief of staff. >> exactly. not being truthful in an interview. >> bill: do you know who taped flynn? who taped him? >> it would be the nsa. >> bill: okay. >> they went to a fisa court and i get a warrant for a wiretap and it is the nsa that typically -- >> bill: diddy flynn no? >> if you are talking to the russian ambassador, you should know. you got to be pretty assured -- >> bill: i said that. >> we don't know whether flynn was told. we don't know that. >> they wouldn't tell him. >> bill: okay. this is fascinating. so, flynn makes the call, he should know, being a sophisticated guy, that the russians are taping it, for damn sure, and that the nsa is probably taping it because it is a call to the russian ambassador.

but they don't tell him, hey, we are taping this. so, that, then, if you look at the chargers floating around, that flynn lied to the fbi about what he said, that is the latest. we will get onto this on the program a little bit later. that doesn't make any sense, doesn't stack up if flynn knew he was being taped. why would he lie to the fbi about a? that is a crime. >> you would think that a person about the sophisticated knowledge of electronic intercepts, as he did and would because he was the head of the dia, would not lie to the fbi. but the contents of the intelligent conversation, he had a good insurance knowing it was being taped. maybe there is, i don't know, i am giving somebody the benefit of the doubt, maybe there was something about this idea that initially he didn't recall what he talked about. >> bill: all of that will come out and we will report it honestly, unlike some of the others. i will hold john over for another minute. i will debate bernie goldberg down the line here on whether

the president was unhinged in the press conference. did you see him as unhinged at all? >> not at all. in fact, he made that point to say, people would say he is ranting and raving, he is not, he is having fun. i thought and i talked to my colleagues about this, they have agreed with me, the president has a level of confidence in that sort of setting now that he never did before. i think it is by virtue of the experience of going through the campaign, going through the election, the transition from an outcome of being president of united states but he has developed the confidence that he didn't have before. he stood up there for an hour and 20 minutes and knocked on a lot of the things that were thrown against him. i think he did a good job. >> bill: he is the backs of a spokesman for him. the cnn guys, are they mad, or are they saying this is bigger ratings for us? are they mad? >> i talked to jim acosta and he was quite happy that he got the might of time he did with president trump, he had a very spirited back and forth. i think they both made their points and came out of it okay. >> bill: all right, we

appreciate your good work. next on the rundown of the talking points memo, on how people in the press as well as people working in the government are trying to sabotage trump. bernie goldberg, moments away. . a farmer's market. a fire truck. even a marching band. and if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. for any sort of discomfort in yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it.

unintended consequences is now hitting president trump. that is because the swamp is inhabited by many different creatures, some of whom want to destroy the president. right now, the national media despises mr. trump, as we pointed out, and backed up with facts. also, some folks working for the federal government want to damage a president. that is what you are seeing the leaks from intelligence agencies and other federal bureaucracies. now, all presidents have to deal with this. but in this political climate, the press gleefully, gleefully accepts information from anonymous sources and spends a negative against trump. as we talked about last night, the public and press doesn't know what general michael flynn said to the russian ambassador. we will know but we don't now. also, there are a semitruth to allegations that people working on the trump campaign had meaningful contact with the russia, but we don't know. yet, the press is running wild with the stories and the trump haters are relishing in the witch hunts. >> if they were dialogues and

negotiated with the russians, with the russians, which is clearly against the law, and clearly an act that cannot be, if the president knew what was going on, and it did not stop it, or in some way authorize it, that be impeachable. >> bill: [laughs] not against the law for anyone to talk with any russians. general flynn had no power being a private citizen, when the call with the russian ambassador to the place. in order for him to commit a crime, he would fire to formally attempt to undermine the obama administrations russian policy. al sharpton is full of it, as always. there is a report today that says general flynn may have lied to the fbi. we mentioned that. if it is true, that is a crime. so, we'll see. as "talking points" reported last night, there are two goals here. first, to leak the trump campaign to the russian hackers, who disrupted the clinton campaign. the second, to try to prove that

president-elect trump was undermining president obama and russian policy back in december. that is what the media goal is, that is what they want. also, as we said last night, if there is truth to those allegations, they should be taken very seriously, when the facts are presented. when president trump first mention draining the swamp in washington, i don't believe he understood how extensive the problem really is. for eight years of presidents obama, there are many people working in the government who liked the former president and who despised mr. trump. eliminating all of them, stopping the leaks, pretty much be impossible. also don't trying to get fairness out of the anti-trump , as well. the trump administration has its hands full. that is "the memo." now, reaction. now, joining us from stanford connecticut, ari fleischer, who worked with president bush the younger. what do you think? >> they are cut from different

cloths, bill. george w. bush was a much more gracious insider establishment person. donald trump was the opposite. donald trump is the only person i know who has the moxie to be able to take on the press like this. he is doing in public what i of republicans i know talk about in private prayer trump is actually delivering the smacks to the pre thinks they deserve. >> bill: they are going to hit back, though. cannot get any worse, ari? you are an observer. can i get any worse? >> my attitude about this entire administration is out of play out. i am very open-minded about what donald trump can accomplish. when it comes to the swamp, this won't come as you pointed out, bill, if this was an "star wars" movie, it would be "the swamp strikes back." for the extraordinarily on popular. donald trump is not unpopular but he is far more popular than the swamp. >> bill: they can do things like leaks. that can really damage the president and has already damaged him. it is embarrassing for his

conversations with with the mexican president and the australian prime minister to be made public within 24 hours. it looks like he has no control. >> no question. donald trump has a legitimate beef about that. that is the agencies, that is not the press. >> bill: that is what i said. it is a two pronged a swamp. there are creatures of all stripes in the swamp. the press and some intel people are after the president. >> unquestionably. but here is where the press is vulnerable. the press has brought so much of this on themselves, ari for the gallup poll came out in september that said the american people trust in the press to tell the news accurately and fairly, which is their job, as an historical all-time low. >> bill: it should be. >> the press is really big trouble because only 14% of republicans have faith in the press, only 30% of independents, and only 51% of democrats. to the degree that the press becomes increasingly oppositional to donald trump, it reinforces what donald trump and steve bannon are driving, which is at the press is the arm of

the democratic party. of the more the press because after trump, the more that divide grows. they've already lost republicans, they lost 70% of the independence. the more they go after child, they are not going to get that back, the split deepens. >> bill: i think they will go after him even harder now. i think it is personal, real personal. >> absolutely. it is personal, hostile, personal and hostile in both directions. donald trump has his role in starting this. he returned the fire the press gave him parade the press fires back. i gotta say, today's news conference, he does it with a from the hostility. when you watch him stand at that podium and take them on, it is not as if there is rancor and anger. it is amusing. >> bill: he said he was having a great time doing it. underneath, he is teed off. he doesn't like the treatment. ari, thank you very much for taking the time. we appreciate it. directly ahead, seek the president said cnn hates and prayed as bernie goldberg agree? we'll find out. later, judge jeanine pirro with

it. >> if you are a soldier in harm's way right now, if you are a hungry child and appalachia, the inner city, if you are an unemployed worker in the hollow shell of a steel town, that is not a president who seems rather focused on your particular needs and wants. that is a president focused on his bad press. it was unhinged. it was wild. >> bill: joining us now for miami, it bernie goldberg. so, what's that you? >> well, let's acknowledge, bill, that there were a lot of reporters in that room, at that press conference, who didn't like donald trump when he was running for president, they don't like him now that he is president, and if he suddenly acted more presidential, they still wouldn't like him. and what he did today is red meat to the base that hates the media anyway. so, i get all that. i understand that. but he came across to me the way

he always comes across, as needlessly thin-skinned and overly defensive. look, he said at one point, the leaks are real, but the news is fake. i don't know what that means but i do know that to donald trump, president trump, an easy thing, any news he doesn't like, is fake news. and then, he brings up the debates were hillary clinton was fed questions in advance. what does that have to do with what is going on now? this is the most powerful man on the planet. >> bill: let me tell you. look, here's how i see it --dash go >> let me just finishes half of second atomic sentence. he is the most powerful man on the planet and he doesn't want to take a shot. >> bill: he doesn't like taking shots but there is a method to his madness. number one, he's trying to make a point that the press is an arm of the democratic party. which really subverts -- >> it is. >> bill: that subverts our democracy. that is a big, important points,

the national press is an arm of the democratic machine. very dangerous. number two, by making this front and center, as we discussed with john roberts, he deflects away from other things, like the national security advisor. in that, it is brilliant. the third thing is, his ability to downgrade the credibility of the press is unprecedented in this nation. he is putting up a huge hurt on them. he is. >> what about us, bill? you and me and other people who do what we do. when barack obama attempted to delegitimize fox news, and he did it in an offhanded way, he didn't go crazy over it, we did segment after segment after segment -- >> bill: he band us. the other news agency, he said, if you don't let fox news and on the pool, we are not going to come, either. >> but my point is that when

president obama went after fox news, we pointed that out and we were really concerned about it. we said -- >> bill: there was no basis. >> now, he does it do cnn and somehow it is okay? >> bill: you are comparing cnn to fox news pray that we make this case. from sign on to sign off on cnn, from the early morning to the late night, there isn't one show host or anchor, not one, who is favorable to president trump. not one. six months ago, from sign on to sign off on cnn, every single host and a girl was to barack obama. so, when he said, the level of hatred and the tone is unfair and bad for the nation, it is hard to argue with that. is it not? >> you make a good point with that. here is my advice to the president, who may in fact be watching us right now. when muhammad ali, the great

muhammad ali, walked into the arena, and walked on me i'll to get into the written with joe frazier or someone like that, if some guy in the tenth row and said, hey, you are a bum, he didn't respond to that because champions don't respond to every flight. he is so thin-skinned. >> bill: hear me. >> don't you see how thin-skinned this man? >> i am saying to you, it is harder for him to run the nation when the press is actively trying to subvert him. a guy like putin says, oh, trump is not going to be able to do anything, the press is killing him. it is harder for trump to make a deal. this is much bigger than just a personal, thin skinned thing. it is harder to run a country because these dishonest people are undermining the whole process. that is his point. the last word. >> this is why jake tapper used

the word "unhinged," a word i didn't use, but frankly a word i am starting to understand. he is to thin-skinned. and he goes after everybody who takes a shot at him. he is incapable of taking a shot and saying, well, you know what, some people don't like me. i'm moving on. he is just incapable of it. and he is playing to his base. >> bill: i have taken some shots at him and he still talks to me. so, i don't think it is that universal. but he is a president who is going to fight back. as you pointed out, his base loves that. bernie goldberg, everybody. plenty more i had "the factor" moves ahead along. we will continue the coverage of the president's lively press conference today with chris wallace providing some perspective. judge jeanine pirro with "outrage of the week" and watters talkingr to some illegl immigrants prayed we hope you stay tuned for those reports.

>> bill: continuing now to lead a story, president trump's one hour and 17 minute press conference today. joining us from washington, "fox news sunday" anchor, chris wallace. before we get to the overall impression, goldberg and i differ. he thinks the president is a bit unhinged. you say? >> there were some moments in there that made me uncomfortable, when donald trump said it would be good politics to blow that russian spy ship out of the water. i am not sure that was a great moment for diplomacy. but no. he wasn't unhinged. i think that this was a determined effort by this president, who is by far the best spokesman in his administration, for his administration, to seize the narrative. there is a growing talk here in washington that there is chaos. you know, you have john mccain talking about, there is disarray of the white house pray there have been some real problems. it is not all just a narrative. this is a president saying, i am in charge, i know what i'm doing. i am going to -- i am not going to bend to washington. washington is going to have to get used to me. >> bill: he was defiant but in a low-key way.

i haven't seen any hysteria from your submarine analogy. he made that by saying, look, some people would like to see me blow it out of the water, this russian submarine 30 miles off the u.s. coast in international waters. but i'm not going to do that because they want peace. then, he went into a peace thing. i don't know why that would have made you uncomfortable. that reassured me that he wasn't dr. strangelove. >> i remember when ronald reagan talked about bombing the soviet union and 5 minutes, as he was doing a radio check -- i don't think that president should even talk about that. >> bill: you are old school. >> the fact is, overall, i thought that he was in control, it is his style, it is not barack obama's, and i am sure there are a lot of your viewers out there saying, thank god. and he seized control of the narrative and said, chaos, heck no. it is running like a well-oiled machine. >> bill: there is a story in "the washington post" that says

flynn, general flynn, may have lied to the fbi. it is always accounts. as you know, the president didn't answer john roberts' direct question about whether he saw the transcript of the phone call. we don't -- haven't got to the bottom of it yet, whether the president, he implied that its national council told him there was nothing wrong in the phone call. that is with the president implied. but the bigger story could be, look, if flynn did lie to the fbi, i he should have known it, blah, blah, blah. here is the question. he is never going to get a fair shake and most of the national media. he is not. you know it and i know it. >> in the end, this is why i think you could overstate the importance of this news conference. in the end, what we say, honestly, doesn't matter. you know, the kind of reviews -- just >> bill: why doesn't it matter? people say that he is -- >> in the end, it will be resolved. i think too many white houses,

and when i covered reagan, i thought this, stop paying attention to us and do your job. the fact is, if he improves the economy, if he gets tax reform through, if he gets obamacare repealed, and an effective or place through, then, it is not going to matter. and conversely, if he doesn't get that stuff through and people's lives don't change, that come he could have all the positive press of the world and it isn't going to matter. >> bill: here is what i think you are missing. he has exceeded now and downgrading the press so much, no matter what they say, 50% of the country is not going to believe them. and he did it. he downgraded the credibility of the national media. so, now, even if they say something true, most people are going to believe it. and that is to him. >> but here is, respectfully, bill, where i think you are missing the point, he didn't get in trouble. we didn't have all this talk about, is this administration in trouble because of the media. it was because of facts. it is because mike flynn lied to

the vice president of the united states. his labor secretary has not two, not three can book five strikes against him. so, he will rise or fall on the merits of what he accomplishes, not on whether he gets a good or bad press. >> bill: all right. chris wallace, everybody. you don't have to be respectful. >> i was saying -- >> bill: you are an idiot, o'reilly, here's where you are wrong. >> that was the subtext. >> bill: we will see you on sunday. would we come right back, judge jeanine pirro on "outrage of the week" and it is incredible. and watters talking to some illegal aliens about president trump's crackdown. >> do you respect immigration law? >> no. >> obviously not. >> bill: those reports up ahead. ight

tweeted, this is a quote, " "scapegoat." >> i did it now want heard from our colleagues that the tweet of general flynn today was "scapegoat." scapegoat. you know what a scapegoat is? that means in a community where people want to resolve themselves of guilt, they get a goat and they keep all of the ills onto the goat. then, they run the goat out of town. >> bill: it turns out the goats are folks who believed the fake tweet.
