"the factor" begins right now. ♪ >> bill: hi, i am bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. taps, collusion, and chaos. that is the subject of this evening's "talking points memo." and this memo will be free of speculation! no spec zone. the trump eaters that his campaign work with the russians to derail hillary clinton's chances to be president. that accusation has angered the president. antidepressant administration with unwanted controversy. showing his annoyance the
5:02 pm
president treated over the week and that he believes that barack obama himself ordered phone taps at the trump tower. now, all hell is breaking loose. let's look at the facts. unfortunately, there are only two facts in this whole swamp of accusations. only two! first, the calls between general michael flynn and the russian ambassador were tapped by somebody. and a portion of those conversations were given to "the washington post." so, who tapped the call? we don't know. second fact. president obama allowed attorney general loretta lynch to change the way u.s. intelligence agencies share unconfirmed data. that happened in january, just a few days before president obama left office. it used to be, the intelligence agencies would guard their
5:03 pm
secrets. now, the nsa can give them to other agencies, even if the intelligence is not confirmed. the results, leaks sprouting all over the place. leaks that are damaging to the trump administration. so, why did president obama change the intel standards? we don't know. but donald trump apparently believes that was to sabotage his incoming administration. that's it. that's the only factual information we can give you. all the rest is lather, opinion, propaganda, speculation. now, the entire tawdry mass is based on the russian hacking, which bedeviled the cloven campaign. as stated, some anti-trump people accuse the president at his acolytes of working with the russians. but yesterday, the former director of national intelligence under president obama said he found no
5:04 pm
evidence of that. >> does intelligence exist that can definitively answering the following question, whether there were improper contacts between the trump campaign and russian officials? >> we did not include any evidence in our report, i say our karma that is and, fbi, and cia, with my office, the director of national intelligence, that had anything, any reflection of collusion between members of the trump campaign at the russians. there was no evidence of that included in our report. >> bill: that report was issued on january 6. also, a senator investigating the russian deal said the same thing. >> i know you have been briefed by fbi director called me and other members of the intelligence community. if you have seen no evidence so far of collusion? >> thus far, i have not. now, we are still in the relatively early stages and it will be thorough and wide-ranging, follow the facts wherever they take us. >> bill: senator cotten will be here tomorrow night.
5:05 pm
any fair-minded person has to acknowledge that there is no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia, at least at this point. correct? now, onto the tapping. in order for that to legally happen, a judge would have to issue a fisa warrant. >> if the fbi, for instance, had a fisa court order for a for valence, with that the information you would know? >> yes. >> you would be told this? if there was a fisa court order or something like this? >> yes, something like this, absolutely. >> you can confirm or deny whether that exists? >> i can deny it. >> bill: that is pretty definitive. president trump has asked for investigation into the alleged tapping. we assume that will happen but this whole thing is terrible for the country. america's credibility is being damaged all over the world. the federal government's ability to even operate is being impeded. so, for the good of the country,
5:06 pm
perhaps we should tamp down to the a bit. let congress do its job and investigate. okay? that is the memo. now, the top story reaction, joining us from arlington, virginia, newt gingrich, who is not working for the trump administration. he is a fox news contributor. where my going wrong here, mr. speaker? >> i think you are largely right. i want to go back to your very first point. there apparently was some kind of wiretapping or listening to the russian ambassador and general flynn. it was leaked, which is, by the way, a felony. that is part of why you have this fury from president trump, every time he turns around, he is faced with a bureaucracy and much during the campaign, 95% of the bureaucrats money was given to clinton, 97% at the justice department, 99 at the state department. he is surrounded by people who
5:07 pm
wish to destroy his administration. they are leaking like crazy. president obama made it easier to leak in january. i think if you were donald trump, you would be pretty serious and he would feel that the old order is against you. >> bill: the facts are the facts. based upon your government experience, will the two congressional cone committees investigating this come once in it, one house, be able to find t who tapped the russian ambassador and flynn? will that become apparent fairly quickly? >> it will become apparent if they use their subpoena power and if attorney general sessions and forces that subpoena power. >> bill: he certainly will. >> it is going to be a brawl. if you go back and look look at iran-contra, which i lived through, or watergate, before i came to washington, eventually, these committees can get to a lot of stuff. we deserve to know. >> bill: that is the key. the whole case. you have to find out who tapped
5:08 pm
flynn at the russian ambassador. you have to find out where you have to find out whether it was a legals. >> by the way, who else they were tapping. remember, you have the statement that there wasn't a fisa court approval, to former director of national intelligence clapper. but if it wasn't, then, who approved the tap that apparently -- >> bill: that is what i'm saying. this whole house of cards. everything falls down as soon as they congressional committees can find out who tapped the ambassador and flynn. flynn was an american citizen. he wasn't even holding a government position. they would have had to have gotten a warrant in order to do it. if they didn't, now, it is possible, i guess, russian intelligence was tapping it, maybe. in a foreign country, we have to know. that is almost an act of war if that happens. the reason i am doing this -- >> i don't think the russian intelligence tapped the russian
5:09 pm
ambassador to leak into "the washington post." >> bill: you don't know. it's possible. >> no one does. >> bill: i am trying to be as fair as humanly possible. the speculation surrounding this russian trump campaign makes me sick. not because i am a partisan, but because i am a journalist. it makes me sick to hear every single day and read reports based on anonymous sources that go nowhere, that are purely they are to destroy the current president. do you feel as strongly about it as i do? >> at least as strongly. "the washington post"'s vicious assault on the attorney general sessions the other night happen to come the day after trump had a great day, delivered a great speech. you read what they actually wrote. it is such garbage. >> bill: tell the audience. what was it, the vicious assault? >> they have a headline that says, "sessions met on two occasions with the russian ambassador."
5:10 pm
one of the two occasions turns out to be a group of ambassadors at the convention as a group. the other happens to be a meeting by sessions as a u.s. senator on the armed services committee in his office with two senior staff people. we now have pictures of nancy pelosi with the russian ambassador, we have pictures of claire mccaskill. >> bill: you felt that "the washington post"'s reportage, not an editorial, was designed to hurt attorney general sessions and by extension, president trump? >> it is part of the ongoing war of the post and "the new york times" against the trump administration. it has nothing to do with journalism. it is an open war against someone they wish to destroy. >> bill: the neck word wow network news, what they write, gets picked up on the speculation or the out of context reportage becomes -- takes on a life it o. that is why donald trump are so
5:11 pm
angry. he should not have said, unless lessie's proof, maybe he does, that president obama tapped trump tower. correct? >> that's right. you should have preyed on the other hand, i don't know exactly what proof he has. i think you have to cover this later on. you will cover later on tonight this whole issue, i think middlebury college, where this professor is under assault for inviting somebody. all of the stuff is growing because the left is going crazy in response to donald trump winning. >> bill: all right. if the president doesn't have at least strong circumstantial evidence that trump tower was tapped, he should correct the record. because that -- one president lined up against another, almost unprecedented. >> you just proved it was tapped. bill, you prove yourself it was tapped. that is where general flynn was. >> bill: interesting point. that is where general flynn was.
5:12 pm
very interesting point. i knew there was a reason we had you on tonight. [laughter] thanks for helping us out. next on "the rundown," we will get reaction from the other side is dr. austan goolsbee will be here. later, brit hume on the new travel ban. charles krauthammer on intergovernmental warfare. watters going to trump tower to cause commotion. these reports after these messages. ♪ and now, i help people find discounts, like paperless, multi-car, and safe driver, that help them save on their car insurance. any questions? -yeah. -how do you go to the bathroom? great. any insurance-related questions? -mm-hmm. -do you have a girlfriend? uh, i'm actually focusing on my career right now, saving people nearly $600 when they switch, so... where's your belly button?

with safelite's exclusive "on my way text"... you'll know exactly when we'll be there. giving you more time for what matters most. (team sing) safelite repair, safelite replace. you need one of these. you wouldn't put up with an umbrella that covers you part way, so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. tell you what, i'll give it to you for half off. >> bill: continuing out to lead a story, including an tapping him allegedly. joining us from chicago,an gool. you heard me and speaker gingrich. what say you? >> bill, you said we only have two facts and we won't speculate. one fact was that someone tapped michael flynn and the other was that obama changed the executive order -- >> bill: allowed loretta lynch. >> you are speculating.
5:16 pm
the change of the executive order, as you, i think no, it is only applicable to information that is gathered outside of the united states. and absolutely no way does it have anything to do with trump tower. >> bill: we are talking about a conversation with a russian ambassador that is being widely speculated upon. if we are talking about a new information, okay, inside the government, that was allowed by president obama and loretta lynch -- >> which only apply to foreign gathered intelligence. >> bill: russia as a foreign country. >> if you include collect the intelligence of the united states, even if you colld about russia, that does not apply, bill. that is just total speculation. >> bill: nobody is saying that the laws were upheld. what we are saying is that there were two things that happened
5:17 pm
and both of them are absolutely in stone. now, we have to find out that second thing -- >> that second thing has nothing to do with this. >> bill: sure, it does, it goes to leaks. >> it doesn't go to leaks. it is not the information could not have come from the united states. that executive order changed -- it has been in the work for eight years. >> bill: come on. are you little bo peep tonight? if the laws are being followed, you are correct. if there is lawbreaking, if there is, a fellow need to leak as a speaker pointed out, if there is lawbreaking about that, all bets are off. let's advance the story. you have two thinks that are instrument we know. the crux of this whole story and everything follows is who tapped flynn and the russian ambassador, right? >> >> there -- that is an interesting point that you raise. but is i disagree with that on two counts.
5:18 pm
if someone wrapped tapped the rn ambassador's phone for intelligence, you would have gathered the information from that phone call, it would have nothing to do -- he would not be getting a pfizer warrant on trump tower. >> bill: but you could not disseminate the information on flynn. it is against a lot to do that to an american citizen. >> okay, but the question of who tapped the phone, they don't have to have tapped flynn's phone. that is not correct. >> bill: we want to know who tapped it and why. we start from there. >> in addition, who leaked the information. that is perfectly legitimate. >> bill: we need to find out who tapped, then, you can go, like inspector clouseau, and find out who leaked. >> inspector clouseau is not a good inspector. >> bill: do you, austan goolsbee, want to know or not? yes or no? >> i would like to know unless it would violate national security for me to find out that it actually came from the ambassador. >> bill: oh, i see. >> my question to you, bill, is
5:19 pm
this. do you really want there to be congressional investigation of who tapped flynn's phone, but you are not concerned about a series of interactions between the trump campaign and russia? >> bill: who said i am not concerned about that? i have said many times i want to get to the bottom of that. but i also believe clapper and senator cotton, who said -- don't you believe them? >> they said there was no fisa warrant on trump tower. i can believe that. >> bill: clapper clearly said, and i know you heard it, so, don't spin, there is no evidence produced to him of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. he said clear as day. >> okay, but the question to him was about fisa warrant. >> bill: now, you are getting -- >> the question is, the president of the united states accused president obama of a
5:20 pm
felony. that was borderline insane. they need to take his phone awa away. he should not be accusing people of felonies with no evidence. >> bill: may be he has evidence. because the tap emanated, had to, and trump tower, because that is worth flynn was. doc, we appreciate it. we'll see. directly ahead, brit hume on the new travel ban. doesn't make any sense at all? and violent political protesters in california and at middlebury college in vermont. up ahead. ...we've helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence.
5:23 pm
5:24 pm
basically the same thing, travel from six countries will be temporarily halted. president took a iraq off that list. joining us from florida, senior political analyst, brit hume. this will be the most fun part of your day, not only is the travel ban thing, now, a new obamacare thing coming out of the house, which is impossible to understand. i can't understand it. but there are some things i will read to you after we get through the travel ban. the smarter people on fox news will explain nothing -- to me, it is like, i got a headache and i don't know, just from reading this. travel ban, to me, it seems logical, they will have a court challenge. i think it will go through. what do you say? >> i think what they have done is removed a number of the hoax of the federal courts have used to block the band, at least temporarily. they never decided the issue on the merits, and left the corbett in place.
5:25 pm
i think this does two things. it takes the old case off the books, basically. we start all over again now. it is certainly possible, indeed, probably likely, that it will be challenged in court. but this order has a better chance to prevail at the trial level. and a much better chance, i think i'm in the long run of prevailing. i think the president would have won in the long run of the old order. but i think this order reduced as it is, it's essentials are in place, some of the other things, for example, green card holders are absent, exempt from this, there is a period of ten s when people continue to travel. a lot of the things that -- >> bill: he rescinded his first executive order, so, that does not even going to be adjudicated in court. he'll rise or fall on this, it will be the same old thing, the
5:26 pm
liberals don't want any ban at all, they want to let everybody in, open borders. just a crazy mentality. this looks to me, is it going to save everybody's life? i don't know, i don't think so. but it looks logical to me and it's not bad. >> remember, bill, this is a temporary thing. a 90 day ban. that doesn't mean that for the purposes of some country, it might go on longer. >> bill: i think it is 100 days for syria. the rest are 90. all they want to do is rampant up -- >> they want to check on the vetting. >> bill: obamacare is out and the american health care act is in. this is the house of representatives now. again, as i said, i don't understand a word of it. i will read some stuff. "obamacare subsidies," this is the big one -- are repealed. nobody gets free health care anymore. liberals will go wild on that. that's all. this is according to the house. "obamacare taxes are repealed." you can't punish somebody for not having an insurance through obamacare as they would do.
5:27 pm
you can't force somebody to cover abortions. those are the three that are going to get all the headlines. what you are interested in, and brit and i were talking about the segment before we went on air, the 14,000 per family tax credit that is in this new one then, that can be used to pay health insurance premiums, correct? >> exactly, bill. what is important, the republican leadership is worried about removing the obamacare subsidies and leaving people who were depending on those subsidies without the ability to pay for insurance. so, that was a problem. this is what happens with entitlements. once people become dependent on them, it becomes extremely difficult politically to take them away. what they are doing here is that they are providing a different kind of subsidy in the form of a tax credit. make no mistake about it, though, that is what it is. basically, this is a different
5:28 pm
kind of subsidy come up to $14,000 to purchase health insurance. there will be come under this plan it seems, a wider variety of plans available, because a lot of the mandated items that were to be included in obamacare approved plans are gone and people can go out and get as much or as little insurance as they think is right for their family, which i think it's a big selling points. but there is a problem. a lot of the conservatives who want obamacare repealed didn't like the subsidies and they are not going to like this kind of subsidy any better than they did in the ones in the original act. it is going to be a challenge for the republicans to gather the votes necessary to pass the bill, because the democrats seem very unlikely to help. >> bill: unless you give the free health care, they are going to vote against it. this is in the house, so, it will take a long time. they have to reconcile it with the senate, they have to do all this business. but this is the first step. >> and it's a real plan. >> bill: it is a plan. a plan that i don't understand. but that's okay.
5:29 pm
brit hume, everybody. >> that won't last long. you'll get it. >> bill: plenty i had "the factor" moves ahead this evening. middlebury college, a professor is hurt by far left loons. we will tell you what is going on. later, watters at the trump tower. >> where are you guys from? >> from jordan. >> do you guys like donald trump? >> i like him very much. >> by? >> because he wants to protect america. >> bill: he wants to protect america. we hope you stay tuned for those reports. how about adding a third? we think there's a bajillion ways to measure success. and whether you have hundreds or millions... we think you deserve the financial freedom to sleep like this at night. this is the new success story. and at t-i-a-a, we're with you. start today at t-i-a-a dot org.

live claritin clear, with claritin-d. ♪ >> bill: "factor followup" feeling tonight. there is bad feeling across the usa as some americans simply will not accept the fact that donald trump is the president. berkeley, california, a clash saturday night between pro and anti-trump people. seven injuries, ten arrests. we expect that from berkeley. even more troubling is middlebury college in vermont. students and activists there shouted down a man named charles murray, who was invited to speak at the school. [chanting] >> bill: in the course of the demonstration, one professor was heard. had to go to the hospital.m bos, marion marsh, from washington, katie pavlich. i expect this to get worse, don't you?
5:34 pm
>> i expected to get worse because there haven't been a lot of consequences for the actions of the "protesters," really, they are violent rioters. what we saw with mr. murray is completely unacceptable. not only did they shout him down at his speech but they pulled the hair of one of the professors who dared to show up with him on stage. severely injuring her neck. if you read his account of this commode you can find at aei.org, you will find that it was a terrifying experience of getting pushed through a mob. they were trying to leave campus, and the mob was surrounding their vehicle, knocking down the windows. we have a choice. the administration has a choice. they can either punish the hundreds of students who engaged in the bad behavior or they can let it keep going on. the professors who also encourage the students should be in trouble, too. >> bill: absolutely. here, mary anne, a statement i got from lori patton, the president of middlebury. ed says, "because of the complexity of actions that took place, we have initiated an independent investigation to establish a baseline of an
5:35 pm
information, once the work is completed, the college will follow the process of determining the course of action of each individual." is that good enough? >> i think that is the right step. when you look at everything middlebury did to prepare for this appearance, they did all the right things. they prepared the students, reminded them of the roles, participated in a high level, including the president. now, they having an investigation. they have an honor code. >> bill: would you expel them if you were ms. patchin, if found the students threaten the speakers and somebody heard the professor, would you expel them? >> there is a range -- on the honor code, if you inhibit communication are people's ability to move freely, there is a range of punishments from fines to expulsion. i think it depends on what each individual did. they are going to be punished. >> bill: would you expel the worst offenders, katie? >> all absolutely. i would also ask the police to
5:36 pm
press criminal charges for allegedly assaulting the professor and charles murray. if you look at the details of this, this isn't just about free speech and shouting down a professor. this is about getting violence, making sure he couldn't speak. these students across the country have to understand that your first amendment rights don't trump someone else's. in order to allow a speakers to come and with different points of view, which by the way, this doesn't happen to liberal speakers, only to conservative speakers, you have a an obligation to respect their first amendment rights, allow them to speak. if you want to have a back and forth, a q&a, fine. but the shouting down, violent behavior, is on except rule. >> bill: middle barry police department, small department, they say they will investigate, as well. could be criminal charges. obviously, she didn't sue anybody. we will follow the story. ladies, thanks, as always. when we come back, charles krauthammer of the continuing conflict over the trump presidency. and watters at the trump tower. it is coming right back.

5:41 pm
we look bad. right now, there is absolutely no conduct on my cooperation between the two parties. as we just showed you, violence breaking out across the country. joining us from washington to put things into somewhat prospective, charles krauthammer. are you worried about the toll this is taking on america? >> what i do worry about, the trust in our institutions. we don't really realize in normal times how much of our democracy hinges on trust and custom and habit. i mean, after all, the peaceful transfer of power, that depends on the fact that the two sides, two parties, the two teams, accept the rules. but you give it over if you lose an election. generally speaking, that is held up, for 240 years. and we do it. now, so much of what we do, the balance of power between the branches, respect for the
5:42 pm
judiciary, one of our presidents said, i think it was andrew jackson about the chief justice, given his ruling now, let him enforce it. you have to accept the fact, even nixon, he accepted the fact that he had to turn over the tapes. that ended his pride presidency. the fact is, once you start to chip away at the trust in the belief in the institutions, already at a historic low, then, you've got very little to hang onto. >> bill: but that is exactly what is happening. i think brit hume is the one who said it. he said that when donald trump won, then, it said in that the press and many in the democratic party refused to accept it, and basically said, this is a danger to the contrary, this being donald trump. and we are going to destroy him no matter what it takes. so, there wasn't that acceptance of what you just said, a
5:43 pm
transfer of power. there wasn't rooting for the president to succeed. there was, we are going to get him and it is going to be nonstop. that is exactly what we are seeing. >> i think that's true. but i think it's wrong to begin history with the resistance to the trump presidency. look at what happened when barack obama was elected and who led the movement to discredit his presidency, to say he was illegitimate, to say he should never be in the white house, because he was not born in hawaii, but in kenya, but donald trump. >> bill: you can compare the two because there was no backing for that. that was a french play. now, you can chastise mr. trump for buying into that, certainly valid. there wasn't a mass price, tried to go to obama, there wasn't leaks, there weren't leaks. leaks from very high placed people, trying to destroy
5:44 pm
president obama. that is happening now. >> when trump ran for the presidency, he said many things and he said them very straightforwardly. he said this election is rigged. he said the polls are rigged. he said that the media is rigged. he said, for example, george bush, president of his own party, had deceived us, lied to us into the iraq war. it wasn't a mistake, it wasn't bad intelligence. he did it deliberately. now, if that is not shaking the foundations of the trust -- >> bill: you are saying that he is getting what he deserves? is that what you are saying? >> no, i am simply saying that history does not start january 20th --dash go >> bill: you have to start with the power structure. a campaign is different than a presidency. so, when this president was sworn in, certainly, you know, that the opposition said we are going to get him. we are going to get him. anyway we can get him, we are going to get him.
5:45 pm
that is a subversion that goes far beyond any campaign rhetoric, does it not? >> no. because what i'm trying to explain to you is that these things have a history and the history begins with the erosion of belief in the institutions. when you say that a republican president lied us into office, you are conditioning the country to believe the absolute worst. that is, by the way, treason. when you say that this system is rigged, and i'm not even sure i recognize the results of the election, for god sakes, trump wins the election, then, he said the results were rigged. >> bill: he was talking about bernie sanders and that was rigged. final question. do you see any kind of detente here, or is it going to be four years of the pressmen democratic party doing whatever they can to destroy the man? is that what we are facing? >> i think that is what we are
5:46 pm
