8:01 pm
democratic party have any credibility left? 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. president trump's speech to congress, that is the subject of this evening's "talking points memo."th it was well received, 78% ofof those watching the speech felt it was positive, just 21%, negative, according to a cnn snap poll. also, when asked if the president made you feel more optimistic or pessimistic, 69% said optimistic, just 28% pessimistic. now, snap polls like that are based mostly on emotion, and the sample was 33% republican, 28% democrat, 39% independent.
8:02 pm
but there is no question that fair-minded people came away from the speech impressed -- t at least most of them. of course, that didn't stop the anti-trump brigade. >> it will be a notable thing that the president spent a big portion of what was, in effect, a state of the union trying to tell the country what vicious, murdering criminals immigrants are.ri >> he relished saying thosee words. just to stick it to islam, to make sure that they knew that they were all a danger to thew united states. >> what an idiot. i mean, we got to watch this idiot for an hour and 9 minutes? he just says one hateful thing after another. he is so embarrassing. >> bill: interesting word, "hateful." "it is embarrassing," isn't it. let me correct that. it is not embarrassing, it is sad. summing up, president trump helped himself greatly last night. his base applauded him, independents broke his way, and he gained credibility among some of those. now, for the top story, we are pleased to have vice president
8:03 pm
mike pence joining us now from washington. i'd like to get some specifics tonight, mr. vice president. let's start with problem solving. you did that very well ases governor of indiana.ha you solved a lot of problems in that state. let's start with sanctuary cities. what do you think the solution to that is? >> vice president pence: i think it is taking a strong stand of the rule of law in this country. a centerpiece of the president's message resonating across the country about respecting the rule of law. it begins with building a wall, border security, internal enforcement, and rejecting sanctuary cities. >> bill: you know the governor of california, the governor of washington state, all right, they are not going to cooperate with you and homeland security. they're not. now that you have your attorney general in place, is there a plan to convince the sanctuary city people to cooperate?
8:04 pm
>> vice president pence: well, i think you could rest assured that the agenda thathe president trump laid out last night, including all of the elements that he has committedg to to ending illegal immigration and bring sanctuary cities to an end as a part of that agenda. he will bring the broadest range of methods and resources of the federal government to bear to make that happen. >> bill: i am taking you, you are speaking generally, i assums you're talking about federal money being denied, states and cities that don't cooperate with homeland security? i assume you're talking about that. you can't send tanks in. you can't force them to do it. but you can hurt them financially. i assume that's on the table. >> vice president pence: look, we will work closely with the congress in moving legislationle to fill out the president's commitment for border security and internal enforcement. i know sanctuary cities is going to be part of that. i know the president is going to evaluate every option that wego have in terms of the authority of the federal government to end a practice that is really not
8:05 pm
contributing to the well-being of the nation and the safety and security of our people. >> bill: okay, there was a lunch yesterday in the white house. you were not there, i was not there, so the two most charismatic people in the united states were not invited. it was anchorpeople and presidenthe trump. and the anchorpeople came out and they were talking amongst themselves, saying, gee, it was a kinder, gentler president, who may now give law-abiding illegal aliens, that is, people who, yes, they crossed here illegally, but they have since been here, not caused trouble. maybe he will give them a break, maybe there will be a pathway of immigration. we didn't hear that in the t speech, but is that a possibility in the trump administration? >> vice president pence: we are focusing, as the president has said repeatedly, on removing criminals who represent a threat to our family, who also are illegal immigrants from thist country. then, as the president said in arizona last summer, then we'll
8:06 pm
see about some of these other issues and the remaining t population. but we are going to enforce the law, uphold the rule of law, and he is going to continue the vigorous efforts to do that. >> bill: all right, so what i am hearing is, it is possible, once the border wall and the enforcement kicks in, that an examination of people who are law-abiding, they might get some kind of break. >> vice president pence: well, you know, you could ask the president what his y perspective isis on that next time you all visit. but what i can tell you is that before we get any of that, president trump and our administration are committed to following through on the things the american people agree on. >> bill: the president mentioned chicago last night as a violent crime situation. again, are there discussions, specific discussions? because the local authorities in chicago, cook county in illinois, are not going to be able to stop this. it is quite apparent. >> vice president pence: i think the president has expressed
8:07 pm
himself over the last year over his deep concern about the p tragic loss of life through violence and gang violence in chicago, and he expressed that last night before the congress. we, as americans, should recognize that the men and women who serve in uniform andd law enforcement are not a force for division. they are the best of us. a they deserve the support of the rest of us. we will look for ways to continue to support law enforcement with the resources and the training that they need to accomplish their mission to protect our families and go home safe to theirs. >> bill: has there been any discussion of a specific thing in chicago the federal government might do? >> vice president pence: you know, not to my knowledge, bill. but i can tell you, i have heard the president again in public and in private express his deep concern and frustration. >> bill: when you get specificsy that is what everybody is waiting for. aiwe are all waiting for, okay, specifically, what is going to happen? finally, our pal putin has been
8:08 pm
kind of quiet since i called him a killer in the interview with the president. [laughs] i think you should go over there and talk with him. >> vice president pence: no plans on my part. but we made a strong commitment to nato.it we also made it very clear that two things are true. we will hold russia accountable for ending violence in eastern ukraine, but in the same breath, our president continues to believe that if there is a way that we can find common ground with russia, particularly in the fight against isis, he is determined to pursue that. >> bill: you know everybody is talking about the widow of the navy seal and what a fine moment that was in a myriad of different ways. and we are going to have a segment on that coming up here on this program. but then today, you heard some people saying that mrs. owens was being used as a political pawn.
8:09 pm
things like that. does that make you angry? you seem like a calm guy. that -- that made me angry. does that make you angry? >> vice president pence: it does a great disservice to a great american family. you know, i was in the oval office the day that the president called carryn owens and expressed his condolences o with her.pr he traveled over to air force base and was there to comfort the family when ryan's remains came home. and the president felt very strongly that they should be given the opportunity to be there in the well of the congress. but also what was really special, i thought, was that in that moment, the same applause, the likes of which i have never saw when i was in congress for 12 years, what that family saw, and all of our servicemen and women saw, while we have divisions on policy, we may argue an awful lot on the issues, that when it comes to standing with the men and women who serve and their families, ws are united as a nation. and i have to tell you, bill, it
8:10 pm
was deeply moving to me to see that fitting tribute. and that family and all of our armed forces will remain in our prayers and our grateful hearts. we will never forget the courage and the sacrifice of ryan owens. >> bill: you're being very diplomatic. when i saw that today, that was just -- i think you are right. i think 99% of americans believe the way you do, the way president trump does, the way that i do. 99%, but that 1%, you know, just gets me.%, i'm -- but you are very diplomatic, mr. vice president. we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us tonight. >> vice president pence: youo bet, bill. thank you. >> bill: next, reaction from the democratic governor of colorado to the president's speech. later, bolling and rivera on the navy seal widow. later, lou dobbs on whether the country afford the president's vision. "the factor" is coming right back.

8:14 pm
>> bill: continuing out the lead sto >> bill: continuing now with our the lead story, analyzing president trump's speech and opposition to him. before the speech was even given, congresswoman nancy pelosi said this. >> the president has said abouta himself, he said, nobody knew how complicated health care would be. heth obviously didn't know that. he also doesn't know what the budget is about. >> bill: that criticism again coming from mrs. pelosi, who famously said this about obamacare in 2010.si >> we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it. >> bill: got to love that. joining us now from denver, the governor of colorado, john hickenlooper. so as a democrat, how do you assess president trump's speech last night?f >> well, it was certainly a different tone than we have seen before. and i think a welcome tone inha that sense that he really didd seem to be including people.
8:15 pm
there wasn't the attacks on the media as being an enemy of the people. he really did seem like around job creation and evenn immigration, which he amplified today, that he -- i mean, itut looked like he was reaching out to people that maybe he didn't agree with and encouraging them to join him at the table and begin negotiating some of these issues. i think if the president is. going to honor the complexity of these issues and the core values that so many of us hold dear, it think, you know, i think we are ready to sit down and work on those issues. >> bill: i hope so. it is best for the country if you do. it is interesting because it sounds like you thought he gave a pretty good speech last night. would that be accurate? >> yeah, i think the tone -- well, again, there wasn't a lot of detail -- >> bill: not specifics. right. >> the tone was very different than what we have seen. i think that is welcoming. i mean, the level of volatility
8:16 pm
that we have seen up until now,g i mean, i don't see how it is sustainable.il and hopefully -- you know, hopefully, this will mark the beginning of a new consistency to get down to work on these issues. >> bill: you just heard the vice president, who was adamant that there is not going to be any pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens who are here and have not been causing trouble while they are here. however, there are going to be crackdowns on sanctuary cities,, denver being one of them. the capital of colorado. now, are you fearful that you will lose some federal money? and how will you rebut that if it indeed does happen? >> i don't think so. i think if somebody commits a crime in denver and they don't have proper documentation, generally -- i know there have been some screw-ups on this, but generally, that name goes immediately over to i.c.e.e. >> bill: so you don't have a problem with cooperating with i.c.e. as the governor of
8:17 pm
washington state does, for example? >> if you are talking about violent criminals, absolutely. part of the whole immigration thing is, the system is so challenging, and maybe this is the time that we can gets congress to, you know, find theo compromises. of course, securing the border. countries come with borders. there's no question about that. we also have to make sure that we get -- you know, that we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. that we have an i.d. system that works, at the same time -- >> bill: finally, jeff sessions, new attorney general, not a fan of legalized marijuana. roll the tape on that. >> i, as you know, am dubious about marijuana. states can pass whatever laws they choose, but i am not sure we are going to be a better, healthier nation if we have marijuana being sold at every corner grocery store. >> bill: so he says, the attorney general does, that federal law overrides state law. and he's not going to be nearly as liberal as the attorney
8:18 pm
generals under president obama. have you thought about that and how do you react? >> [laughs] certainly, we have been thinking about it and trying to figure r out what our choices are. you know, i oppose this. i was openly against it. 55-45, our voters put it into our constitution. i took a solemn oath too support our constitution. so i'm in a funny position where i have to try to make this work. we have made a lot of progress. you got to admit, the old system was a train wreck. so now, we're actually -- we have anecdotal evidence, i think soon numerical evidence that drug dealers, there are less drug dealers on the streets. >> bill: you know what did happen, though, interestingly enough, was that a flood of homeless people and poor people came into colorado because now they have easy access to being intoxicated. i don't know how that is impacting -- the last time i was in denver in september, and i used to work there, you mightwo know that, channel 7 in denver,
8:19 pm
i noticed it. i noticed it.wn downtown denver, there's a lot of people that are stoned morning until night because they can get this stuff. i think that's what the attorney general was talking about.t. >> [laughs] to be clear, colorado -- we have the number one economy in the country. when you are growing that fast, you have all kinds of homelessness. we had that long before we legalized marijuana. every state that has a growing economy, right now, including texas -- >> bill: the way the economy is growing, they shouldn't be homeless. if you want a service job in denver, you can get it like that. >> we don't have any evidence that this is the result of marijuana. there are a lot of other social issues that are around homelessness and addiction. >> bill: all right, governor, always a pleasure to talk to you. thanks for taking the time. directly ahead, bolling and rivera on the emotional moment when president trump spoke to the widow of slain navy seal ryan owens. f, that report moments away. me too! call me tomorrow? i'm gonna f days, that leaves you confused about my level of interest.

8:23 pm
>> bill: in the >> bill: and in the "impact segment" segment tonight, the sad saga of navy seal ryan owens. the 36-year-old from peoria, illinois, he was killed after a raid on an al qaeda depot in yemen.ye he succumbed to his wounds on january 29th. yesterday, nbc news reported that the seal raid yielded no significant intelligence, but last night, president trump contradicted that, speaking directly to the seal's widow, sicarryn, who was in the galler. >> i just spoke to our great general mattis just now, who reconfirmed that, and i quote, "ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies. ryan's legacy is etched into
8:24 pm
eternity." thank you. [applause] >> bill: with us to react, what say you, bolling? >> fantastic moment, two and a half minute ovation. i think it was amazing. i think it brought the countryi together at that point. >> bill: not everybody. oh, no, no, no. >> let me qualify this. at the moment, i think we saw democrats and republicans standing together, clapping. i think we saw a lot of pundits say that moment was whentr donald trump, the controversial, elected potus 45 became president 45. i think you are hearing people on the left saying it. throughout the day today, the despicable left has decided to throw some shade at it by saying, it was a moment that they predicted -- >> bill: they are saying that they used carryn as a pawn, a political pawn. and, yes, it was used in a political way, but i thought it
8:25 pm
was an honor, honoring her husband, and it certainly meant very much to her.t >> that line that "his memory ii etched in our hearts for eternity," that is the best line ever spoken by donald trump. he became president. he did. >> bill: why do you think that people like "the view," michael moore -- i mean, they are extremist, we usually don't deal with them because they are that extreme and that hateful.an but there are some others as well saying that this was a manipulation, it was wrong. the seal's father has an objection to the raid and all of that. what you think about that? >> i think -- i try to -- i am a nothing war correspondent who would long for a hero's death like ryan. he gave everything for his country. he had the sendoff that was like a viking, a wonderful, wonderful moment, tears going down my eyes, just thinking about him as a representative of everyde warrior we have ever lost in
8:26 pm
combat. i think the problem comes, there is no doubt about these operations have a political component. remember, jimmy carter launched eagle claw against iran to get our hostages in 1980, april of 1980. if he had succeeded, he would have been president. there never would have been a ronald reagan presidency. barack obama, with the death of bin laden in 2011, he elevated. his presidency to a new level and won, i think, in 2012, in part because of bin laden is dead and so forth. the problem is, why combine whether the raid was a success or failure with the heroism of the fallen warrior? >> bill: and why criticize it at all? that is so hateful. >> mary catherine, former colleague over here, another network, she lost her husband,
8:27 pm
she is widowed. she said it was a moment that she really respected. she didn't find any fault in it at all. she wasn't concerned about why it was in the joint sessionss speech. she said his name, ryan owens' name, is etched forever, the way donald trump pointed to it. she said that was far above anya issues that they would have, o that geraldo pointed out, why was it even discussed? >> bill: my theory is that theal critical mass has been reached by the far left in this country and that they are doing damage to their own legacy and to the democratic party at a rate i have never seen in my lifetime. i have never seen an ideologyic now collapse the way it has collapsed in the last, i don't know, six months. and this, this is like the worst. you know, 'cause this woman was obviously so overwhelmed with emotion of love for her husband -- remember, she has three young children at home. three. all right? and the president of the united states calls her to come in to this speech to honor her
8:28 pm
slain husband, and you have people, hateful people criticizing this? even if you don't like it, keep quiet. >> i agree that the left is obsessing about donald trump in a way that i think is absolutely unsafe. >> bill: horrendous. >> it is absolutely beyond the pale. and i believe they have to be busted on it.go god bless cnn, they do a great job, but they are obsessing about him in a way that demeanst the great network. they should just lay off. i mean, kellyanne conway putss her feet on the couch and they talk about it for three days.nd >> can i point something out? just show the still shot of the widow one more time. that says it all. it is about what she thinks. it is about what is in her heart.t. and her children. o >> bill: that's right.es >> if donald trump, president trump really wanted to play politics there, he could have explained, well, january 28th was the full moon, we knew had to do this operation, but he
8:29 pm
didn't outline that. he said, the operation did produce -- >> bill: whatever was in the mind of the president and the speechwriters, the bottom line and what happened was that the man was honored. a lot of americans didn't even know this. unfortunately, they don't pay attention, they should, they don't. they just hear about it. and the widow and her children will have this moment forever. gentlemen, thank you very much.. plenty ahead as "the factor" m moves along this evening. president trump asking for a trillion dollars to rebuild the usa. can the country afford it?in lou dobbs has some thoughts. then miller on his bucket list and what he does for fun. fun. >> bill: that is what miller does for fun? we hope you stay tuned for those reports. ...triple protection from leaks, odor and moisture.

tempur-pedic allowed me to do just that. because i don't have the average body type anymore i feel like my tempur-pedic really conforms to my body shape. power is not giving up, it's choosing to thrive. tempur-pedic. this sleep is power. >> bill: "lou's the boss" segment tonight, exploding debt in america right now. right now, the national debt, what we owe other people and countries is $19,900,000,000,000, just about to go to 20. last night, president trump said this. >> we have the worst financial recovery in 65 years. in the last eight years, the past administration has put on more new debt then nearly all of the other presidents combined. >> bill: however, the president also asked for a $1 trillion program to rebuild america inen addition to higher spending with the military and security.
8:34 pm
here now to analyze, fox business network star lou dobbs. all right, so how does the debt affect the regular folks? the working americans? >> this massive debt, $20 trillion, this is part of the burden that future generations will have to pay for. it also adds to the inflation rate. more dollars, chasing fewer goods, the classic economic paradigm. the reality is, this debt overhangs everything we do. and the president correctly focused on this during the campaign. >> bill: but he's not going to bring the debt down, t particularly in his first term. it is going to go up because he wants to do a lot of things. but i think it is a ponzi scheme. the usa is running a ponzi scheme. because they run up the debt, it is never going to be paid back. $20 trillion is never going to be paid back. what they do pay is the interest on the debt.
8:35 pm
u.s. savings bond,d, treasury bonds. >> you are so cynical, bill o'reilly. >> bill: no, tell me where i am wrong! they pay the interest, but they are not going to pay theng trillion, therefore, we can keep borrowing and borrowing and borrowing as long as we pay the interest. >> the foundation for a period of prosperity in this country was 1997, '98, '99, 2000, 2001. balanced budgets, for four of those years, '98 through 2001. that laid a foundation for whatr should have been an exceptional period where we do not have deficits. still, debt, and debt that rose. but we have to get in control of this. because this will ultimately -- >> bill: we are not. president trump is not going to bring down the national debt. >> no, not by adding a trillion dollars -- >> bill: a trillion dollars. >> but by investing, repatriating $2.5 trillion in profits that are being held by corporate america overseas,
8:36 pm
by investing $1 trillion in infrastructure, the plan is to create greater growth, which will raise opportunity. >> bill: i'm not rejecting that. but it still is not nearly enough to pay this thing down. >> i'm not going to argue that. >> bill: you and i will be dead, which is probably a good thing. >> are those cheers? >> bill: believe me, they were more than a few. we are not going to have to deal with a $20, $30, $40 trillion debt. but somewhere -- >> you aren't trying to make me eager for this passing into the great beyond, are you? >> bill: the only guy happy about this is william devane, he has got all that gold. i mean, william -- sooner or later, it is going to be later, the u.s. dollar, if we don't maintain our superpower status --
8:37 pm
>> all that he is talking about is to rebuild the foundation of> the superpower. i >> bill: we have to do it. >> we have to do it. and we need to, very quickly, bring our deficits under control and quickly, in this instance, is two to three years out. >> bill: i'm not expecting to see that even in four years. maybe if he is reelected, maybe in the second, i don't know. lou dobbs, everybody. there he is. miller on deck. what is on his bucket list? then martha maccallum on private space travel. want to go to the moon? you can if you have dobbs money. moments away. ♪ ♪ no matter how the markets change... at t. rowe price... our disciplined approach remains. global markets may be uncertain... but you can feel confident in our investment experience around the world. call us or your advisor... t. rowe price. invest with confidence.
