"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 oa the united states when he talks to a foreign leader, is something that america has never seen before. simply put, the high-tech worlde 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.re 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 be that is financially reasonable, affordable, that 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 to put a fair health care 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, the government needs sensible guidelines in place that protect workers from exploitation. with many unions now politically corrupted, the feds and the states have much more responsibility to working tamericans. that's it. that is what we are owed.in the bernie sanders philosophy that everybody should bee guaranteed a job and a set wage and shepherded through life is

not what america is all about. b we compete here, but 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. d 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 millionsqu of kids. 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. so the wikileaks deal, we saw it again yesterday, the cia documents released, about 9,000 of them, is a direct threat to this nation, is it not,

counselor? >> absolutely. any time 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 departments. do you see it that way? >> i mean, it is a problem. you know, this one in particular is going to be very interesting. now, of course, the government hasn't verified 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 peopleha 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 and the snowdens of the world, put a thumb drive or cd-rom in and you have a million and a half documents, you know, if that wall and shield isn't perfect, we have a problem. >> bill: 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 president ofin mexico, and 24 hours later, the phone call is in the press, it doesn't get any worse than that, we cannot conduct business as a nation if 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? w

>> not at all. that is fascinating. even a different situation with respect to classified situation at one of the intel agencies. >> bill: yeah, that is just eavesdropping on the leader of the country, and that is what is happening. and it's insane.e. >> 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.th presumably, he was caught through an authorized legal warrant and has an incidental capture. that is different from someone leaking the information, which isas classified. >> bill: but under the bylaws of the warrant, he is supposed to be protected. >> yes, he is supposed to have minimization with respect -- >> bill: the guy's career is over. i'm not saying that what he didt

misleading the vice president -- but his whole life and career has been adversely affected. ital was, bang, he did this. we don't know exactly what was said in that call, but we know that he was on it, and the apersions were made that something was wrong. >> that may be interesting, that may be newsworthy, maybe it's even valuable for the public to know. but it is a violation of their privacies. i represent people like that all the time. >> bill: flynn could go to you tomorrow and he could sue the federal government, could he not?nn >> well, it is a little complicated in very narrow provisions as to whether it applied. >> bill: i bet you you could. >> 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 isla that there is no control, none. all right. at the federal level, at the highest level, in the oval office, in the cia archives, in the nsa tapping oro whatever. there is no control of information, classified information. it could appear anytime, anywhere.fo that is a disaster. last word. >> well, there is obviously control, but the controls have some deficiencies in them. and one of the things to cureon that would be a more secure and proper system for whistleblowers to be able to go internally rather than externally. >> bill: an ancillary issue. they cannot protect, "they" being the government agencies, they cannot protect their secrets, they can't. >> they got to work on it. >> bill: it is really dangerous for this country. counselor, thank you for appearing. next on "the rundown," it is the

fbi's job to protect us from hackers and leakers. is the bureau doing that? fbi director james comey furious with presidentes trump. bernie goldberg is following that story up ahead. americans - 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day men's complete with key nutrients we may need. plus heart-health support with b vitamins. one a day men's in gummies and tablets. i realize that ah, that $100k is notwell, a 103fortune. yeah, 103. well, let me ask you guys. how long did it take you two to save that? a long time. then it's a fortune.

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

and for anybody that does watch fox, and we know that is a big audience, we have seen reportsha about, the cia actually says they have the capability to hack in and leave a russian footprint. we have heard clearly from a number of people that there is. absolutely no evidence of the russians interfering with our election. i think it is a waste of time. what i'm more concerned about, bill, is, the people within the intelligence committee that have lied to us in congress and lied to those 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. l: bill: comey could address that. look, i understand what you're

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

the campaign to the russians. >> carter page, one month later, travels over with the campaign's permission to russia.. now, i don't know why anyone would go to a country that is attacking us during a presidential campaign who is the president's foreign policy advisor. >> bill: congressman gohmert, do you know anything about carter page traveling to russia? >> i understand that he had no official tie 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 t rerun, but it's still just as cogent when it's a rerun. but the real issue, the realll threat to our democratic republic is that we have intelligence officers who have gained access to information by the powers congress has given them.

they have lied to congress -- >> bill: do you know who is lying now? i got it, i got it, i got it, can you give me a name? somebody?ve me >> 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. the conversations aren't -- >> bill: that is a big deal. >> it is a big deal. >> bill: 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've got to. >> we agree on that. >> 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 without being in the newspaper

the next day. >> bill, let'v me tell you -- >> 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. directly ahead, the latest anti-trump propaganda isav that 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. "the factor" is coming rightla back.

>> bill: "unresolved problem" segment tonight. it seems like everyday there are broad attacks leveled at president trumpgh and his administration. the latest is that

people all over the world are embarrassed by the usa. >> the u.s. 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 c challenges like global warming. we can't do that if people feel embarrassed to be associated with the united states. >> bill: here now to analyze,th abby huntsman, cohost of "fox & friends"s" weekend. from washington, gillian turner, national security expert. when you hear a sound bite like that, do you buy it? >> i don't buy it. 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. the second thing i think is, as a sitting senator, shouldn't the bar for critiquing the president, which is a perfectly legitimate thing to do, shouldn't that bar be a little higher than name-calling?im >> bill: does the name harry reid mean anything to you? there is no bar.

they're all in business to destroy one another. >> 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 in every country. but the consensus is what? >> murphy, i think he is trying to be the foreign policy voice for democrats. but 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? >> bill: of course he doesn't. the american press isn't going to hold them to the fire, not going to say, that's irresponsible. we are probably the only show doing this segment tonight. doesn't have to back up anything. all he has to do is throw bomb after bomb after bomb.b. >> what does that lead to, bill? >> bill: chaos.

>> ultimately they need to win elections to make a difference. >> bill: they are not going ton win elections on foreign policy. an interesting study, because your father is going to be the ambassador to russia, right? >> well, i will go with what the white house is saying on that one.ri >> 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. >> bill: the full extent? >> they idolized what is going on here. places like google, facebook, 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, were people embarrassed about this country? he said, no, they were pretty amazed at our politics and how we could go from such extreme chapters, eight years under obama to now this movement under trump. he's taking it in a very different direction. i think places like china are fascinated by that because their system doesn't change.

>> bill: you do it my way or we hurt you. now, 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. look, there are some countries that are worried about donald trump. and therei are. 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? meaning, 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 news story lately about congress has been for that first time in years, its national approval rating is up to something like 28%. >> isn't that high though?

>> 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. >> bill: do you know why it is? >> why it skyrocketed? >> bill: 28%, let's not overflow it. 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. that's why it's going up. >> bill, people are so tired of negativity. you know, i travel to diners every week around this country. they want people to give president trump a chance.tr on day 49 --an >> bill: i think most americans are fair. >> let's be critical, the time and place for that. >> bill: i want a cheeseburger with a pickle. the 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 "factor" moves ahead this evening.

our drug dealers killers? florida proposing a law that would designate them that way. then watters down at the alamo. >> many famous americans died here at the alamo. can you name one of them? >> the guy with the hat. >> davy... >> crockett. >> yes! >> bill: "the guy with the hat." we hope you stay tuned for those reports. ctually there's five. ooohh!! aaaahh!! uh! hooooly mackerel. wow. nice. strength and style. it's truck month. get 0% financing for 60 months plus find your tag and get $5500 on select chevy silverado pick-ups when you finance with gm financial. find new roads at your local chevy dealer. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing.

and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet?

>> bill: "truth serum" segment tonight, florida may get tough drug dealers, george soros

contributed hundreds of dollars to groups associated with the women's march and the work stoppage yesterday. here now, truth serum correspondents eric shawn and shannon bream.. tell me about the soros deal, shannon. >> he has been supportive of a number of these groups that have had big marches against the president, essentially. the media research center $246 million over the last 14 years. poured an estimated $25 million into hillary clinton's election campaign. and some down ballot races as well. but this march yesterday, many of these groups are directly linked to him and his donations. >> bill: let me stop you there. there are a number of political groups that helped organize thes 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 pulls strings? he tells them what he wants? is he the puppet master? >> some people would say that.

the fact is, a number of these groups have specificr? idealogies. >> bill: very progressive groups. because he is uber leftist. >> and he doesn't like trump. he has made that very clear. 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 ladies didn't go to work. you showed up, right? >> i went to work, yes, i did. >> bill: a nice job, by the 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 mean, 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. >> and i asked some of the

people who participated yesterday, is this a pro-women 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. l a b bill: let's get down to a 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. drugs a violent crime. this is 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.im >> that is fentanyl. you can sell cocaine or heroin to somebody, they die, you get charged with felony murder. but you have this overwhelming epidemic in our country ofhi opioids, of fentanyl. synthetic drugs. and if you sell that and somebody dies, that is the

loophole. 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 that you can do that in most states but very few prosecutors do. >> there's been really just one prosecution with fentanyl. last year in palm beach, a guy who allegedly sold it to someone who then died, he was convicted and got 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 dying of fentanyl in one year.l >> bill: 700 on fentanyl alone? >> and mixtures. >> bill: if you are taking that drug, i mean, 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. we appreciate it.

our "weekdays with bernie" segment tonight, an interesting report, asking jeff sessions to publicly reject presidentbe trump's assertion that president obama ordered taps of the trump tower. that report was based on anonymous sources, but it ised widely accepted as truth even though director comey has not said a word, nor has anyone in the justice department. d joining us from miami, w bernard goldberg. so my contention is this. if you don't have any backup or perspective, you can mention that, all right, this is what is floating around. but you've got to stop there. you can't build speculation unless you're somebody on the record saying something. am i wrong? >> yeah, 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, were bugged, 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, 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.in >> here is why 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. and i'm pretty sure you don't either. >> bill: with all due respect, the fact that you believe it is

fine, but other people don't believe it. they believe trump. >> do you really want to go down that road? do you really want to do that? because trump supporters -- the 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 was the same with obama people. no matter what he did, it was fine. he walked on water. it has been that way since george washington. but journalistically speaking, we are starting to build baselines of fact based on no facts. 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. w >> no. i just couldn't disagree more. let me finish this thought. you don't believe, i'm pretty sure, and i certainly 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. okay? 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, they don't. >> i believe that 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. a and if you need a loan, he lives in miami and north carolina. >> [laughs] >> bill: 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 on wfan is

mike francesa, and he said this the other day. go. >> i always wanted to ask you, in your lifetime, do you thinkk we will see a day 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?t or 50 men? do you know how impossible that would be? >> i'm saying it would be tough. >> it wouldn't be tough. it would be impossible. >> bill: now, for saying that, he is under fire of being anti-women and anti-this and anti-that. and i'm saying, look, he is entitled to his opinion.n. you may not agree with it, but he is a knowledgeable man about sports. he knows the locker room situations are. he knows what the dynamics are. isn't he 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. so 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, it would be almost impossible on a number of levels for that to happen. even if you disagree -- you know sports, you work for hbo sportse and i know sports -- he shouldn't be punished. francesa is entitled to his opinion.

>> i agree. i totally agree. but let me make one point. >> bill: real quick. >> athletes change over the c years. when you played football in the 1940s and '50s, it was one thing, but today, athletes are more open to, let's call thatas diversity. they play with gay players. >> bill: i got it. it is just logistics. >> they will accept a woman -- if the 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. bernie goldberg, everybody. watters on deck. we sent him down to the alamo, the anniversary of one of the most famous last stands in american history. watters is next. ♪
