>> bill: also, ahead, sean hannity demanding that ted koppel release the full interview he did for cbs sunday morning. sounds reasonable. brit hume all way in. >> bill: 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. how politicians are hurting the american people. that is a subject of those evenings' "talking points" memo. the failure to pass a new health care proposal and the house has hurt the republican party and president trump. situation is confusing but let me break it down so even the politicians can understand it. there are three basic things that america needs from a fair health care plan. a reasonable cost, working people cannot be punished with high insurance premiums. second, the poor who cannot

afford insurance are given access to health care in some way. medicaid, perhaps, the best way. and third, that all americans are protected from medical catastrophe. so, if i am a sitting republican congressmen on the hill, how do i vote on a new proposal to replace obamacare? well, it is impossible to know if the proposed law would lower costs for everyone. but if health insurance companies are eventually allowed to compete all across america, which they cannot do now, market forces would likely bring the cost down. also, i am evaluating the entire situation. what good does it do my party, the republican party, and the president, if i oppose the first proposal house puts forth? knowing that proposal will be changed in the senate and come back to me for another vote.

it seems logical that you move the process along and then at the end with the entire bill is before you, you vote your conscience. but by throwing the whole thing out for ideological reasons, nothing is accomplished, other than the republicans looking bad. this analysis is not based on any party sentiment by me. i am an independent. it is all about you, what is best for the folks. it is a given that democrats won't turn on obamacare, they support it to the bitter end. yes, they may tweak it a little, but they want a giant entitlement from the feds that costs a fortune and hurts working americans by making them pay higher premiums. so, if the republican party doesn't unite, obamacare stays the ways it is, which is the situation right now. the big reveal here is that the

conservative republicans who voted against the new health proposal will not compromise. >> there are some members of the freedom caucus that vote no against the ten commandments that would come up for a vote. so, i think it is time that the freedom caucus worked together with other members of the republican party. >> bill: he has left for freedom caucus, frustrated about the health care vote. the bigger picture is this. president trump did get hurt by the health care vote. but it's not a catastrophe. all presidents lose on major issues. president obama wanted to close guantanamo bay, never got it done. he wanted much more social justice spending, never happen. making new laws is very tough, as it should be. the trump administration would be wise to move along now and try to get a new tax code. that issue should unite all republicans who believe the free marketplace is the way to provide prosperity for the majority of americans.

if some republicans oppose lower taxes, that will be stunning. but the president needs to move quickly. the tax reduction plan should become clear by early may. we need new tax rates for both workers and corporations and we need to phase out the duction that only benefit the very wealthy. that doesn't seem to be too much to ask congress to do. and that is the memo. now, the top story reaction, joining us on washington avenue, charles krauthammer. where my going wrong, charles? >> amazingly, i can't see any major mistakes here. i do think you sort of underestimate the damage done to trump by this spectacular explosion, implosion of this proposal. it doesn't really compare to guantanamo for obama, who cares about guantanamo, that was a peripheral issue, or about social spending, they spent a lot, a billion dollars on stimulus, a trillion dollar stimulus is quite a lot.

this is a major proposal in a seven-year promise by republicans is not only the president who got hurt, it's the party. >> bill: i don't think the president is going to be blamed for this, that is my opinion is a very astute analyst. it is not like they are going, hey, trump screwed this up, they are going, congress screwed it up. both parties did. the democrats won't give anything and the republicans, as we mentioned, some of them are too ideological. let's get onto the nuts and bolts. it was a right in saying that the bill was going to come back to the house for a vote after it was massaged in the senate, so if you had a problem with it, you say, okay now i will do it, but you better fix this because you are getting another shot, right? >> i am with you on the fact that if you are republican in the house, you promised to this for seven years, you had a build of the freedom caucus is able to move to the right and correct

and to strip out a lot of the regulation that was unnecessary and harmful in obamacare. you accomplish all of that. at that point, you vote yes, you are correct. you bring it to the senate and it comes back. >> bill: so, why didn't they, they being the freedom caucus, conservative congresspeople, why didn't they do what you and i believe is the logical thing to do? >> i would have liked to say what i always say when you ask me the why question, what do you think i am, i psychiatrist? they made a mistake. look, they believe that they had promised to destroy, undo, eradicate obamacare and all of the implications, government control, government regulation, government mandates. and they wanted to do it in the original bill, coming out of the house. i think it was a huge tactical mistake. in fact, i think the whole idea,

which is that paul ryan had decided he wanted to get a bill through the house that would be able to go through the senate and pass with 51 votes, so, he had to go within the restraints of what is called the reconciliation, which is why he could not include in the bill the things that the freedom caucus had wanted, being able to buy insurance across state lines, tort reform, and stripping out -- just be when he was going to do that later. >> the point is, why not put it in the house bill? this is what i would recommend to the republicans when this comes back, as it will. probably in the fall or their winter, when obamacare begins to implode. at that point, put everything in the house -- >> bill: end of the democrats take the rap. >> that is exactly right. to be what it doesn't help the folks. they will still pay for the next six to nine months, more health insurance premiums, higher premium is. yes, the chess game goes on in

congress and who gets hurt? the regular folks. charles krauthammer, everybody. next on the rundown, dr. austan goolsbee, former obama guy, will weigh in on the washington swamp. later, attorney general jeff sessions cracking down on the sanctuary cities. the threats are not getting very specific. those reports after these messages. when you have allergies, it can seem like triggers pop up everywhere. luckily there's powerful, 24-hour, non-drowsy claritin. it provides relief of symptoms that can be triggered by over 200 different allergens. live claritin clear. hidden in every swing, every chip, and every putt, is data that can make the difference between winning and losing. the microsoft cloud helps the pga tour turn countless points of data into insights that

>> bill: and the impact segment tonight, we continue with our lead story, president trump losing his first big battle in washington. joining us from chicago, dr. austan goolsbee. so, there are two parallel things going on here, doctor. number one, the folks continue to get hosed by a health care system that benefits the poor but doesn't benefit the working people, the middle class people

at this point. the second is, the political chess game, the ideological chess game going on in washington that the folks don't want any part of or am i wrong? >> i think on that you are right. i was kind of struck in your note, the freedom caucus folks, they have been hollering and screaming and lighting stuff on fire for eight years. i mean, is it -- only now do you recognize that these guys are being unreasonable? they have been doing this for a long time. >> bill: i gave everybody a chance. i talk about the whole democratic party is unreasonable because none of them will consider that this bill, the obamacare bill, should be done away with and something better put in its place. speak the democratic party, to their credit, they stick togeth, whereas the republican party doesn't. that is the embarrassment. >> i agree with you, the republicans are demonstrating, that though they have the

biggest majority in the house and they have had or 90 years, they can't govern. donald trump is going to have to do something to figure out whether he can put together governing coalition. >> bill: i don't know if he can or not. >> i don't know either. >> bill: let's advance the story because charles krauthammer feels that trump -- he is not a trump guy, and we all know that, trump is damaged, i don't think he was damaged that much. i think the folks who have to pay these huge premiums and deductibles are going to blame congress, not the president. however, -- >> i'm not so sure about that. >> bill: now comes tax cuts. and here, the president has to get it done. what i can't imagine any republican opposition to tax cuts. can you? >> well, i can if -- i think they are on path to do, i think they have no way to pay for them and they are just going to blow up the deficit. i think he is again -- the root of this, i think donald trump actually is at fault, even though on whatever specifics, he

didn't propose it. what is at fault here is that donald trump ran without specifics, without advertising any kind of trade-offs. he promised he is going to satisfy all of our dreams, everybody getting a tax cut. he will replace obamacare with something fabulous that cost less than covers everyone. and he wasn't being serious, and now, he has to be serious. on taxes, i don't see how he is going to do it. >> bill: campaign promises are one thing and the president is certainly going to have to figure out how to pass bills. he is going to have to figure it out. his first test went south. okay. again, it wasn't he who was -- he is not going to take the heat for this, the blame for this. >> may be. you may be right. >> bill: for the tax cuts, that he has to get done because there doesn't seem to be in opposition to me. if the real far right congresspeople are going to

object to phasing out deductions that only benefit people who own football stadiums, -- >> there is not enough money in that. that is the root of the problem. >> bill: cut the taxes, stimulate the economy, and hope, as happened in the bush administration, bush the younger, that the increased revenue of people getting more money, working, and more jobs, will fill that end. last word. >> that didn't happen under bush. that is not what happened. >> bill: highest tax revenue up until that point in history. >> last mac they had a massive increase in the deficit. >> bill: be fair. that is because of the iraq war. be fair. is that your last word that you won't be fair? >> [laughs] i am always fair and i am always glad you have me on. my last word is simply i don't think he'll be able to pay for it so, he will have a problem. >> bill: directly ahead, attorney general sessions threatening sanctuary cities with a loss of big federal box.

♪ >> bill: "unresolved problems" segment tonight. the federal government taking on sanctuary cities at last. today, jeff sessions made a surprise appearance, urging cities that refused to uphold federal immigration law to change. >> we intend to use all the awful authority we have to make sure that the state and local officials, who are so important to law enforcement, are in sync with the federal government. >> bill: mr. session saying that this year alone the justices department anticipates awarding more than 4.1 billion,

with a b, dollars to cities and counties across the country. but sanctuary cities may be deprived of those grants. that would hurt them. joining us from now, mary ann marsh and katie pavlich. before we get into this, i wanted to find that what the federal government is now asking, every jurisdiction, if they arrest an illegal alien, to let i.c.e. know. if i.c.e. then sends back a detainer, please hold that person so we can pick them up, that happened. that is it. that is what the trump administration is asking. but austin, texas, says, blinking you, we are not going to do it. end of the state of texas takes a million and a half dollars away from that county come okay, right off the bat. so, this is getting to be a big mess, katie, is that not? >> we have tolerated sanctuary cities for a long time under republican presidents and democrats and i think that attorney general jeff sessions better be real about his threats

and if they are going to pull funding from sanctuary cities, they better not be bluffing. they should go and into it, they should do more raids. as you pointed out, they are not asking for a whole lot. i.c.e. specifically is asking for local law enforcement to hold illegal aliens with criminal records like rape, murder, sexual assaults against children, the type of criminals are going after. even if you just take the immigration part of it off the table, they are asking for these violent individuals to be held in these local jurisdictions, some of them are not complying. i think if they follow through with their threats to pull the funding, they will see more complaints down the road. it will take a little bit of time. >> bill: the share of travis county is the best example right now, mary anne. sally -- what's her name? fernando's sally hernandez. i am not holding anybody. unless you have a warrant, what you have to get from a judge, if you send id a fax or whatever

and say, please hold this person because we want to talk to them, i would punish her, too. i would punish that county, wouldn't you? >> i think if it is a violent criminal, a felon, of course. >> bill: that is not sally's call. i.c.e. gets alerted and then, i.c.e. makes the call whether to issue a detainer or not. it is not sally's call. >> i understand that, bill. the obama administration and the trump administration have the same policy. some people are following it and some are not. when it comes to a jeff sessions today, what he talked about, the obama policy, withholding funds, he, like the obama administration, doesn't have the ability to do it, no president does. it is up to congress to make the changes to the conditions on the grants. >> bill: the block grants are awarded, it is a competition. of course he won't give it to them. did you know, mary anne marsh, the guy who allegedly killed kate steinle into san francisco, his trial is coming up, has openly said that he went to

san francisco because he knew he would be protected? he knew that even though he was deported five times and came back, they wouldn't do anything if they caught him dealing drugs, which is how he made his living? did you know that he said that? >> i do. >> bill: doesn't that discuss two? >> it does discuss me, as does the fact there was never a straight one up a vote on kate's law and what is more disgusting, bill, the fact of the immigration system up at him and allowed him to reenter five times is broken and nobody is doing anything to fix it. you can't build a wall out of it. >> bill: i think the wall is going to help make it harder for people to do with that man dead. it is hard to see how it wouldn't make it harder because it is so easy now. all right, katie, when you are -- and mary anne is unreasonable tonight, she's not going after rails, but the argument that sally hernandez, the sheriff faces, if i obeyed federal law, then, it will alienate all

illegal aliens in my jurisdiction and we need to them to cooperate with the police. any validity to that argument at all? >> that is not what i.c.e. is asking for. if you look for the words of the attorney general jeff sessions status today, we are looking for criminal aliens with records of sexual assaults against minors, murder, we are not talking about all illegal immigrants in the country. we're specifically specifically talking about those who work convicted of a crime or those who have been charged. >> bill: the illegal alien community, that is hard work people who -- just because they don't want them there, either. >> bill: they don't want them there because they are doing damage, those criminals are doing damage to them. ladies, thank you very much. plenty more ahead as "the factor" moves ahead this evening. a shoot up a hit between ted koppel and sean hannity over liberal bias in the national media. brit hume has some thoughts are not. but next to my congressman devin nunes, chairman of the house committee will be here, to

chairman of the committee. why have the guys not shown up? >> we hope that they'll show up in the future. we don't know why they didn't want to show up today but clearly, last week, they were over 100 questions that they could not answer in an open setting. we wanted to have them back in a classified setting to set the foundations. >> bill: is drawn they have to give a reason why they are standing you up? >> you should, you would think that they should. i will say that the nsa is cooperating with getting us information in a timely manner as it relates to american citizens who were picked up and >> bill: but the fbi is not giving you anything? i'm curious about this. first, did they say they will show up? did they say, okay, and then, they backed out? could they not commit? >> i think the mistake that we made, we knew that their schedules were cleared, i think the mistake was made, we probably should have asked in an open setting in front of the public last week to confirm they would come forward and help us. >> bill: they are being a

little weaselly, it looks like to me, with all due respect to their position. a lot of people feel that the house intelligence committee is an oxymoron after the vote on health care. [laughter] a little dressed. but what exactly are you guys investigating? i need to know from the chairman. what exactly are you investigating? >> we have long had an investigation going on on russia. a year ago, i said the biggest intelligence failure since 9/11 was the failure to understand putin's plan and intentions. if you like look at what happened after that, we are now looking at the analytical integrity, did the intelligence community have the right assessment? we are now looking at, what was the level of russian involvement? these are all questions for you >> bill: so, the russians you are investigating, and i assume you are investigating the surveillance and the leaks, right? is that right? >> we are also investigating weeks as it relates to russia. as you know, just recently, i

found out last week, there was additional information that came forward to me that had nothing to do with russia but has everything to do with whether or not americans were masked properly or in fact unmasked. i'm very concerned. >> bill: by surveillance and trump repeal were involved. here is what happened in my opinion. you went to the white house to look at these documents, at least on white house grounds, and then, all the people who don't like you and the conspiracy people say, trump gave it to him because he went to the white house to look at it. the optics, as they say, were not good. is that accurate? >> be go to the executive branch at least once or twice a week. this is not unusual because there are intelligence products and we don't have access to in the house of representatives. but we do have the clearances to see them. we have known about this long before trump actually sent the famous tweet out about the wiretapping at trump tower.

we have known that there was additional unmasking of american's names. we have sources that provided that information. what i had to do, i needed a place i could go and find this information and review it. so, we facilitated data. >> bill: you went to the old executive office building. my guess, i know you are not saying, my guess, you looked at it, they didn't give it to you. you just saw it and then you went over to the president and told him what you saw. accurate? >> the next day. there was no sneaking around. i walked around the grounds, said hi to people, did not go to the west wing, did not talk to the president. when i reviewed and found out it had nothing to do with russia, that is the key cam i had something to do with russia -- >> bill: another surveillance deal that we the people need to know about. final question is this. most americans think you guys in congress are a bunch of who we are right now, the irs investigation come where did that go? nowhere. did we ever find out who ordered that? no, we did not.

why should anybody have confidence in your committee when two guys he wanted to hear in a classified situation didn'? that is disrespectful. why should we have any confidence that you will get anywhere? >> this is always the challenge and a legislative branch might branch of government. we can provide oversight, we can investigate. but if the end of the day we can't arrest someone. >> bill: you can issue a subpoena. >> bill: wow >> we can subpoena. but at the end of the day, we don't have power to bring justice. we can only bring a recommendation to the department of justice. >> bill: you can expose, you can't arrest. >> i think we are doing a good job of exposing. >> bill: i hope so but i still don't know who were surveilled and why. i got one more, adam sheth, the ranking democrat on the intelligence committee, he is not your friend. you know that, right? not your pal. he wants you out. >> i tried to say nice things about people. i know sometimes they say things that i probably shouldn't but the reality is, i am not going

to disparage anyone. i will continue to work with people. >> bill: he wants you to quit the investigation. you are not going to do that? >> i'm sure the democrats do want me to quit because they know that i am quite effective at getting to the bottom. >> bill: let's hope so, congressman. keep us posted. we really appreciate you coming on. when we come right back, a cbs sunday morning shoot-out between a sean hannity and ted koppel. interesting situation. brit hume will weigh in next. and everything we ship has something in common. whether it's expedited overnight... ...or shipped around the globe, ...it's handled by od employees who know that delivering freight... ...means delivering promises. od. helping the world keep promises.

>> announcer: "the o'reilly factor," the number one cable news show for 16 years and counting. >> bill: thanks for staying with us. i am bill o'reilly. in the "hume zone" segment tonight, sean hannity versus ted koppel. for years, ted koppel has decried the rays of cable news. a little more than a year ago, he came on "the factor." >> you have changed the television landscape over the past 20 years. you took it from being objective and delta being subjective and entertaining. >> bill: with all of the things he pointed out, as a whole different ball game on cable tv, commentators like me have just ruined the country, i copped to that.

>> it is true. >> bill: i have ruined everything. >> bill: of course, i said that interest but mr. koppel believes that. he believes that the commentary is overshadowing hard news reporting. yesterday, mr. koppel talked with mr. sean hannity and told sean that is program is bad for america because it catered to ideology. he replied that conservative commentary is legitimate and necessary because the mainstream national media is very biased to the left. the problem is, the interview was heavily edited and to sean is asking for a full, unedited portion be put up on the "cbs news" website. that sounds reasonable to me. joining us now from florida, brit hume. here in the "the factor," if we added an interview of significa, we post the unedited part on billoreilly.com. do you think cbs news should do that? >> i do. i don't see any reason not to do it. a lot of people would be interested in it and it would drive traffic to their website. why not do what?

is easy to do it and it doesn't cost anything, they have the transcript. >> bill: we call them today and a former tv writer now does their communications. they basically didn't want to talk too much about it. you are right, economically it benefits cbs news to do it. >> i must say, -- >> bill: if i have to go to a new site, i go to cbs news.com. i think it is a good news site. i am saying that -- i'm not saying that if any promotional extract, but they do a nice job on the website and have the material, why not posted? why not see hannity and koppel and full flower. if they don't, i will put it on billoreilly.com. i will put it right up. what is the resistance -- he worked with ted koppel, i worked -- i didn't work with him but i was there when he was there, i was working for peter jennings most of the time. you and i made the transition to

fox news. i didn't have a hard time making the transition here. and you did a hard news program, now, bret baier took over from you. i didn't see you have a hard time working for this outfit. but to koppel, guys like tom brokaw, they have a tough time with it. why do you think it is? >> they came along -- i consider ted koppel a friend and i have always admired him. i would note, however, that he came up and came to prominence in an era when all there was was the three network nightly news programs, the sunday morning programs, and there was morning show but that was mostly talk. later, there was "nightline," late in the history of tv news, but that was a news and interview show, late at night, very successful, very good, actually. that was the age in she came along. i think that was the era in which he is comfortable. i can understand that. this is a different universe now. there were not three blown news

cable channels in his prime. and there wasn't the amount of airtime that they had. we now have a news news and talk all day long, hard news programming at 6:00, also, at 7:00 now. then, the evenings are devoted to what would be the op-ed page of tv news. >> bill: he knows it. he is a smart guy. i talk slowly when he was on, and i did the same thing to him, the op-ed page. when you have a 24-hour news cycle, you get plenty of time for everything. you guys only had a half hour and 20 minutes if you count commercials. i think the resistances -- i have to say, most of the standardized network news guys of the past were social liberals, not crazy left-wing bomb throwers, but social liberals, and they kind of resent the fox news channel's overwhelming success. last word. >> i think that is correct. i presume, therefore, that ted

finds the opinionated programming on msnbc objectionable and also on cnn, as well. they are stressed a lot more opinion programming out there than there used to be and i can understand why veterans of hard news find that unsettling. but i still think that there is plenty of room for it and we keep improving that every day. >> bill: brit hume, everybody, from florida. watters on deck for the supreme court edition. to the folks know anything about the people who really rule their lives? watters is next. ♪ at invisalign®, we use the most advanced teeth straightening technology to help you find the next amazing version of yourself. it's time to unleash your secret weapon. it's there, right under your nose. get to your best smile up to 50% faster. visit invisalign.com to get started today.
