assertion. >> what happened in 1836? >> what happened in 1836? >> the battle of the alamo. >> boom. >> bill: also ahead, watters at the alamo. >> it rhymes with socket? >> davy crockett. >> yes! >> new mexico one caution, you are about to enter "the no spin zone." "the factor" begins right now. hi, i'm bill o'reilly, thanks for watching us tonight. what we the people are entitled to receive from our government. that is the subject of this evening's "talking points memo." there is great confusion all over the land about rights and what the government really owes us. essentially, there are three major expectations that the government should meet under the constitutional banner of pursuit

of happiness. number one, security. we are entitled to have an effective defense against people who would kill us. but today, our security is wobbling because of hackers and leakers, and the federal government does not seem to be able to stop the espionage. while many americans don't pay attention, this issue, that we cannot guard our defense secrets or even protect the president of the united states when he talks to a foreign leader, is something that america has never seen before page simply put, the high-tech world is creating threats to our security that are almost out of control. this is, perhaps, the most important issue the federal government faces right now. but close to that is health care. americans are entitled to an affordable medical system that can alleviate their suffering. all of us are going to get sick, and we will need help. but right now, that help is confusing, to say the least. it is pointless for "the factor" or anyone else to debate obamacare and what might replace it until a new specific proposal

is put forth. when details are decided in the bill is ready to be considered, we'll be all over it. the guiding principles of health care should beat that is financially reasonable, affordable, but you have direct access to the doctors you want, and that you are not bogged down in a chaotic system of red tape and delays. so congress has a lot of work to do, but if to put a fair healte system in place. finally, although it should have access to a fair marketplace. by that i mean, you can't be denied a job because of your color, your race, anything else. also, need sensible guidelines in place that protect workers from exploitation paid with many unions now politically corrupted, the feds and the states have much more responsibility to working americans. that's it. that is what we are owed. the bernie sanders philosophy that everybody should be guaranteed a job and a set wage

and shepherded through life is not what america is all about. we compete here and in some cases, some americans are not treated fairly in the marketplace. best example, best example, children from families who don't really care about them. these kids are often thrown into awful schools and wash out early without much of an education. they have little chance to succeed economically in this country. for far too long, americans looked away from that reality. every american child deserves a quality education, and right now, the system is not providing that for millions of kids paid that must change, and that is the memo. joining us from washington, mark zaid, an attorney who specializes in whistleblower cases and high-tech intrusion. the wikileaks deal, we saw it again yesterday, the cia documents released, about 9,000 of them, a direct threat to this

nation, is it not, counselor? >> absolutely. anytime information, especially classified, is taken from u.s. government or contracting facilities and is leaked without authorization poses a significant danger. >> bill: now, this is a labyrinth here. we have a lot of investigative agencies, the fbi, the cia, defense intelligence, and it seems right now that none of them have control over leaks out of their various department departments. do you see it that way? >> i mean, it is a problem. this one in particular is going to be very interesting. of course, the government hasn't verify the authenticity, at least not on the record, per se, but the press reports have been that the majority of these documents were unclassified and were circulated among groups or contractors of the cia which, to me, is going to be fascinating as part of this leak investigation because, you know,

what kind of controls are on unclassified information, far different than if it is classified information, and whether the systems are being hacked into or whether people are taking documents out or obviously just verbally disclosing information. but it is obviously a big problem, and in this day and age when technology is so advanced, when you have the mannings andy snowdens of the world, put a thumb drive or cd-rom in and you have a million 1/2 documents, if that wall and shield isn't perfect, we have a problem. so unwelcome it's not perfect. it's embarrassing. when the president of the united states has a phone call with the prime minister of australia and the prime president of mexico, it doesn't get any worse than that, we cannot conduct business as a nation at the president of the united states cannot have a phone call with a foreign leader without it being taped and disseminated to the press. am i wrong? >> not at all.

that is fascinating. even a different situation with respect to classified situation at one of the intel agencies. >> bill: that is just eavesdropping on the leader of the country, and that is what is happening. it's insane. >> it makes it difficult. >> bill: not only that, not only that, you have a situation where a private citizen, general flynn, was caught up on the wiretap with the russian ambassador, and where is flynn's privacy? where is his right not to be wiretapped? where is it? >> well, that comes into a different situation. presumably, he was caught through an authorized legal warrant and has an incidental capture. that is different from someone leaking the information, which is classified. >> bill: under the bylaws of the warrant, he is supposed to be protected. >> yes, he is supposed to have minimization with respect -- coat his career is over. i'm not saying that what he did,

misleadingly vice president, but his whole career has been adversely affected. we don't know exactly what was said in that call, but we know that he was on it, and the estrogens were made as persians were made that something was wrong >> that may be interesting, that may be newsworthy, maybe it's even palatable for the public to know. i represent people like that all the time. >> bill: flynn could go to your tomorrow and he could sue the federal government, could he not? >> it is a little complicated and end. >> bill: i bet you you could print >> i would represent general flynn. that would be an interesting case. >> bill: he had no privacy at all, and he was not a government official at that point he was a

regular guy. i don't want to belabor the thing, but the basic point is that there is no control, none. all right. at the federal level, the highest level, and the cia archives, in the nsa tapping or whatever. there is no control of information, classified information. it could appear anytime, anywhere. that is a disaster. last word. >> there is obviously control, but the controls have some deficiencies in them. one of the things to cure that would be a more secure and proper system for whistleblowers to be able to go internally rather than externally. >> bill: and ancillary issue. they cannot protect, "today" being the government agencies, they can protect their secrets, they can't. >> they got to work on edge. >> bill: it is dangerous for this country. next on "the rundown," it is the fbi's chapter protect us from

hackers and leakers. is the fbi doing that? fbi director james comey pires with president trump it bernie goldberg is following that story up ahead. are your allergies holding you back or is it your allergy pills? break through your allergies. introducing flonase sensimist. more complete allergy relief in a gentle mist you may not even notice. using unique mistpro technology, new flonase sensimist delivers a gentle mist to help block six key inflammatory substances that cause your symptoms. most allergy pills only block one. and six is greater than one. break through your allergies. new flonase sensimist. ♪

>> bill: "impact segment" tonight, as we reported last night, so members of the house judiciary committee have asked james comey to testify about classified information leaks. joining us from washington, two members of that committee, eric swalwell, democrat from north carolina, and louie gohmert, republican from texas. you did not sign a letter asking for mr. comey to appear. you do not think it is worthy? >> enter go places in the letter, it mentions wanting to be briefed by comey about the russian situation, and for

anybody that does watch fox, we know that is a big audience, we have seen reports about the cia actually says they have the capability to hack in and leave a russian footprint. we had heard clearly from a number of people that there is absolutely no evidence of the russians interfering with election. i think it is a waste of time. but i'm more concerned about, bill, the people within the intelligence committee that have lied to us in congress and lied two of us on the judiciary committee for a while, when they have said, look, you'll never know. if it picks up an american citizen, that name will be masked, it will take a court order to release that. >> bill: comey could address that. look, i understand what you're saying.

>> i want to know about the russian situation. >> bill: you're never going to get to the bottom of that. what you will get is an overview of the fbi is doing and how it sees this. some democrats don't even want to hear from comey. do you? >> idea, and i have faith in our intelligence community. they are always god. allowing this to continue to connect, the biggest question now is whether they were working with russia while the attack was going on. >> bill: can you give nate one piece of evidence that supports this theory? one piece of evidence that russia colluded with the trump campaign? give me one. >> right now, prior personal, political, and business ties. >> bill: give me one piece of

solid information connecting the two. >> carter page, one month later, travels over with the campaign's permission to russia. i don't know why anyone would go to a country that is attacking us during a foreign campaign who is a foreign policy advisor. >> bill: congressman gohmert, do you know anything about this? >> understand that he had no official time with the trump campaign but that he did have some conversations, some ties to russia, but that is not the trump administration. but, bill, having watched your show most every night, often the rerun, still just as cogent when it's a rerun. but the real issue, the real threat to our democratic republic is that we have intelligence officers who have gained access to information by the powers congress has given

them. >> bill: do you know who is lying now? i got it, i got it, i got it, can you give me a name? >> what i can tell you is, we have been told -- going back to the bush administration, that you never have to worry -- >> bill: i got that, flynn was a private conversation. >> now we have found out they are not masked. >> bill: that is a big deal. it's a big deal. >> it is a big deal to me. >> bill: i appreciate you both coming on, but i don't know if we're ever going to get to the bottom of this. >> we really do need to get to the bottom of this. this is dangerous stuff. >> bill: it is absolutely dangerous. no doubt about it. when a sitting president can't have a conversation with the president of mexico. >> bill, let me tell you one

way -- >> bill: i've only got 20 seconds. >> what i have said repeatedly, you guys keep saying how important this is to have this power, if you don't give us their leakers and how this happened, i will join with my democratic friends, and we will eliminate your power to do this. >> bill: we appreciate it. elitist anti-trump propaganda, people all over the world have no confidence in the usa anymore. we'll debate that. later, watters at the alamo celebrating a big anniversary.

score one unresolved segment tonight, questions about president trump and his administration, later says that people all over the world are

embarrassed by the usa. >> just isn't a very attractive ally any longer, this does have consequences for us as we are trying to build alliances, trying to build coalitions around the world to fight extremists, to fight challenges like global warming. we can't do that if people feel embarrassed to be associated with the united states paid >> bill: here now to analyze, abby huntsman, from washington, gillian turner, national security expert. when you hear a sound bite like that, do you buy it. >> identifiers. the first thing i think is that it's kind of ridiculous to say that a foreign country should be embarrassed or ashamed of the united states come the second thing i think is, as a sitting senator, shouldn't the bart port critiquing the president, which is a perfectly legitimate thing to do, shouldn't that bar be a little higher than name-calling? >> bill: there is no power. they're all in business.

>> unhelpful is what i would say. >> bill: ridiculous that people are embarrassed by usa. far left loons like senator murphy are embarrassed. that's true. you can find them and every country. with the consensus is what? >> eddie murphy, i think he is trying to be deformed policy voice for democrats. that's a big statement to make to say that our allies are embarrassed. if you're going to make a statement like that cannot back it up with some evidence. >> no, he doesn't. he doesn't have to back it up. >> has he called our leaders to ask how they feel about the country right now? >> the american press isn't going to hold them to the fire, not going to say, that's irresponsible. doesn't have to back up anything. all he has to do is throw bomb after bomb after bomb. >> what does that lead to, bill? ultimately they need to win

elections. >> bill: they are not going to win elections on foreign policy. an interesting study, because your father is going to eat and pointed ambassador to russia, right? >> well, i will go with what the white house is saying on that one. >> bill: so abby's father is going to be the new ambassador to russia. you lived in beijing, china, when your father was ambassador to china. did you think the chinese were embarrassed by the usa when you were over there. >> no. if anything, they idolized the usa. they idolized what is going on here, places like google, they can never do over there. i called my dad today and asked him, because he just got back from china and japan, when you were there, or people embarrassed about this country? he said, no, they were pretty amazed at how politics and how we could go from such extreme chapters, eight years under obama to this movement under trump, and i think places like china are fascinated by that because their system doesn't change. >> bill: you do it my way or

be hurt you. gillian, overseas, i would think it would be fair if senator murphy were a responsible man, which -- i don't know him, but that statement was irresponsible to say. there are some countries that are worried about donald trump, no question about that. i think that is a legitimate statement. we all have to see how it plays out, correct? >> correct. you said to abby a moment ago, where is this all going. where are these kinds of politically motivated insults going. and i think the answer there, especially for senator murphy is, this is going downhill for the entire congress really quickly. mind you, the big story has been for that first time in years, its national approval rating is up to something like 28%. >> bill: very high. >> i am saying that with some

irony. >> bill: you know why that is? >> i think that is a cautionary tale for the entire congress. why it skyrocketed? >> bill: do you know why? >> i don't. maybe you can tell us. >> bill: the reason that is up to 28%, a paltry number, but better than 6%, because obamacare is being thrown out. >> bill, people are so tired of negativity. i travel to diners every week, they want people to give president trump a chance. on day 49 -- >> lets be critical, the time and place for that. >> bill: i want a cheeseburger next time you go to the diner, please bring it back. she never puts on any weight, ladies and gentlemen. going to the diner, i don't know how that happens. thank you, ladies. plenty more ahead as a factor moves ahead this evening. florida proposing a lot that would designate them that way. then watters down at the alamo.

>> bill: truth serum segment tonight cannot florida make it tough drug dealers, george soros contribute in hundreds of

dollars to groups associated with the women's march and they work stoppage yesterday. here now, truth serum correspondence eric shawn and shannon bream. >> he has been supportive of a number of these groups that have had big marches against the president, essentially. the media research center cracked these numbers down, $246 million over the last 14 years. report an estimated $25 million into hillary clinton's election campaign, but this much yesterday, many of these groups are directly linked to him and his donations. >> bill: let me stop you there. a number of political groups that helps organize the big women's march that we are looking at, right? okay. soros gave $250 million or whatever it was to 100 of these groups over a 14 year period. is there an implication that he pulled strings? he tells them what he wants? is he the puppet puppet master?

>> some people would say that. the fact is, a number of these groups have specific methodologies. >> bill: very progressive groups. because he is uber leftist. >> he said trump is going to be the death of democracy, he is the one that wants open borders. >> bill: we all know who he is. i don't think that most americans are aware on how involved he is on these demonstrations. i don't know, yesterday, some of the latest didn't go to work. >> i went to work, yes, i did. >> bill: a nice job, way. a very nice job. >> a good way to demonstrate my skills. >> bill: and we did a segment on it last night. i'm sympathetic. i want women to be treated equally as men. but i also know that there is a big political push behind this movement and the push is coming from the soros left. >> i asked some of the people

who participated, is this a problem in march or an anti-trump march. they pretty much admitted this is anti-trump. they won't let pro-life groups be a part of what they are doing. >> bill: let's get down to florida. as you know, i disagree with president obama's kind of soft touch on drug dealers. all right? he doesn't consider them violent. he doesn't consider selling hard drugs crime as does president obama. in florida, there is a movement to make the sale of one particular drug, if you do it and somebody dies, you are charged with murder. >> that is functional. you can self cocaine to hear went to somebody, they die, you get charged with felony murder. but you have this overwhelming epidemic of fentanyl. this is a huge bill that will be

argued next month, and it will charge a dealer who deals in it. >> bill: right now in florida, if you are a dealer and you sell cocaine or heroin and somebody dies, you can be charged with murder. i think you can do that in most states but very few prosecutors do. >> really just one prosecution with fentanyl. convicted 30 years. that's the only case. >> bill: that is what has to happen. is there a big opioid, heroin problem in florida? >> it is huge, more than 700 people died on fentanyl pete >> bill: 700 on fentanyl alone? >> and mixtures. >> bill: if you are taking that drug, it's hard for me to feel sorry for you, it is like taking cyanide. that is how dangerous this thing is, you know. all right, thanks very much, guys. when we come right back, fake

>> announcer: "the o'reilly factor." the number one cable news show for 16 years and counting. >> bill: thank you for staying

with us. i'm bill o'reilly. art "weekdays with bernie" segment tonight, an interesting report, asking jeff sessions to publicly reject president trump's assertion that president obama ordered taps of the trump tower. that report was based on anonymous sources, but it is widely accepted as true even though director comey has not said a word, nor has anyone in the justice department. joining us, bernard goldberg. my contention is this. if you don't have any backup or perspective, you can mention it. this is what is floating around. but you've got to stop there. you can't build speculation and less you're somebody on the record saying something. am i wrong? >> i think you are. i think this is important because we need to believe the president of the united states. we live in a free country. if we don't believe what he says, we have a problem. he put out a tweet that said

that his offices, the trump tower, or balked, and president obama was behind it. i don't know if that's true. i assume it is not true. everybody has knocked it down. but you can't put that out without any proof. he is the president. he can't just put that out. >> bill: he can put it out. he's a provocateur. he does that. you can criticize him, as you are doing, and legitimate criticism, people can take it or leave it, but you can't basically establish a baseline record on anonymous sources that have no context provided to them. we don't know who put this out. we don't know anything. >> here is where i believe it. here's why i believe it. because i don't believe any of the alternatives. i don't believe "the new york times" just made it up. >> bill: with all due respect, the fact that you believe it is fine, but other people don't

believe it. they've a belief trump. >> do you really want to go down that road? do you really want to do that? because trump supporters -- trump supporters don't care if he lies. he is on their team, and that is all they care about. >> bill: some people are in that category, and it is the same with obama. know what he did, it is fine, he walks on water. it has been that way since george washington. but journalistically speaking, we are starting to build baselines of fact based on no fact. there aren't any facts in this story. in the sense that we don't know if comey said that. we don't know if anybody at the justice department was told that. there's no baseline. that's all. >> know. i just couldn't disagree more. let me finish this thought. you don't believe, i'm pretty sure, and i don't believe that "the new york times" made that up. let's get that out of the way. even though a lot of people

watching us think they do engage in fake news, they don't. that's out of the way. i don't believe that the reporter was simply a stenographer who just took down what somebody said and put it in the paper. they need backup sources. >> bill: no, i they don't. >> i believe comey would have said something by now if it didn't happen, and i'm sure that jeff sessions, jeff sessions would have said, comey never came to me. he is a republican. >> bill: that's interesting. that's interesting. and we may be able to get to the bottom of that. okay, look, you're being very generous, and because i know you are a very generous man, and people appreciate that about you, let's get to another thing that is very important. not important, but interesting. there is a big radio station here called wfan, big sports thing, lively debate, one of the stars is mike francesca, and he

said this the other day. go. >> i always wanted to ask you, in your lifetime, do you think we will see a gate when we have a professional manager, coach, that is a female, in your opinion. >> of a male team? no. >> why aren't we outraged? do you know how difficult it would be on a female to manage manage 25 men? >> i'm saying it would be tough. >> it wouldn't be tough. it would be impossible. >> bill: for saying that, he is under fire of being anti-women and anti-this and anti-that. i'm saying, look, he is entitled to his opinion, he has a knowledgeable man about sports, he knows the locker room situation can make you notice the dynamics. his entity entitled to have his opinion without being punished. >> yes. and the liberal politically correct world will punish you if you're not pc enough, and that is what is happening here.

now, having said that, i disagree with him. when it comes to -- let's take football off of the field, so to speak. it is a violent game, and i don't think football players would respect anybody who hasn't either played the game or coached at a very high level. let's take that off. but basketball and baseball? there are only two kinds of coaches in those areas. those who have been fired and those who will be fired. they just recycle the same guys over and over again. >> bill: i don't disagree. i don't disagree that a woman could coach a men's basketball team. 12 players, that could happen. but he was talking about baseball and football, and i agree with francesa, almost impossible in a number of levels for that to happen. even if you disagree, you know sports, you work for hbo sports, and i know sports, he shouldn't be punished.

francesa is entitled to his opinion. >> i agree, but let me make one point. athletes change over the years paid when you played football in the 1940s and '50s, it was one thing, but today, athletes are more open to, let's call that diversity. they play with gay players. they will accept a woman -- if a woman knows what she's talking about, if they have confidence in her, and if they are winning, they will get onboard. some will be reluctant, but only some. >> bill: dissenters should not be punished. jesse watters on deck. we sent them down to the alamo, the anniversary of one of the most famous last stands in history. that's next. auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call.
