Explanation. Again, i would refer to you director comeys discussion for that. Attorney general Loretta Lynch testifying about the Hillary Clinton email fiasco. Caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone, the factor begins right now. Hi, im bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. President obama and race. That is the subject of this evenings talking points memo. Today in dallas, president obama addressed the world trying to address racial tedges in the u. S. A. Scripture tells us that in our sufferings there are glory because we know that suffering produces perseverance. Perseverance character. And character hope. All that is true. But its also rhetorical and while the president is trying to lift spirits, we do need some targeted programs in america to tamp down racial animosity. The president hit a high note and a dubious note. First, the good. Were going to have to be honest with each other and ourselves. We know that the overwhelming majority of Police Officers do an incredibly hard and dangerous job fairly and professionally. They are deserving of our respect and not our scorn. Very well put by the president. But then mr. Obama veered away from the present and into the land of grievance. We also know that centuries of racial discrimination, of slavery, and subrogation and jim crow, they didnt simply vanish with the end of lawful segregation. They didnt just stop when dr. King made a speech or the Voting Rights act and Civil Rights Act were signed. The president went on to say that Race Relations have, quote, improved dramatically in my lifetime. However, raising the spector of slavery and jim crow gives the haters an excuse and fuels the grievance industry. If we are ever to become one nation under god, well have to put the grievances behind us. And not use them as an excuse for current bad behavior. That means acceptance of past sins and a determination to never let mass discrimination happen again. To some extent, the president understands that. But he is not powerful enough in stating it. Instead, he dwells on the problem rather than on the solution. America, we know that bias remains. We know it. Whether you are black or white or hispanic or asian or native american or middle eastern dissent we have seen this biases. And white people have been the subject of bigotry as well. The truth is bias will always be with us. Every country has it. From the dawn of mankind, unfair treatment has occurred on this planet. Americans should all be in this together, but were not. What we really need is a federal government to create laws that are fair to everyone and make sure theyre enforced without prejudice. Thats not going to be easy. But it is possible. And thats the memo. Now for the top story tonight. How would donald trump deal with the racial divide in america . I spoke with him earlier today in chicago. So, first question for you. Do you believe there is a problem between black and whites in america, generally speaking . Sadly, there would seem to be. And its getting more and more obvious and its very sad, very sad. When somebody called to a moment of silence to this maniac that shot the five police, you see whats going on. Its a very, very sad situation. And hopefully it could be healed. We have a divider as a president. He is the great divider and i have said it for a long time. And its probably not been much worse at any time. So its very sad situation, actually. All right. So if you are elected president , do you have a plan to lessen racial tensions and, if so, what is it . Well, one thing is spirit. We dont have spirit. The country doesnt have any spirit, bill. We can see oh gee thats just a general statement. Its not a general statement. The country has no spirit. We need a cheer leader not a divider. We have a divider. We need a cheerleader. There is still some black americans who believe that the system is biased against them. The american system because theyre black, they dont get the same kind of shot, they dont get the same kind of fairness that whites do. What do you say to them . Well, i have been saying even against me the system is rigged when i ran as a, you know, for president , i mean, i could see what was going on with the system and the system is rigged. Yeah, but thats not going to lift anybodys spirits. We have to fight. If you go out and say the system is rigged, thats not going to lift their spirits. No, what im saying they are not necessarily wrong. There are certain people where unfortunately that comes into play. Im not saying that. I can relate it really very much to myself. I have to refocus you though on the africanamerican experience. All right . Do you think you understand the africanamerican experience . Do you think you understand it . Well, i would like to say yes, but you really cant unless you are africanamerican. You cant truly understand whats going on unless you are africanamerican. I would like to say yes, however. How do you persuade africanamericans who believe america is a bad place built upon grievances in the past to put that aside and lift their spirits . How are you going to do that . Because i do understand what goes on in life. And i do understand that the economics of our country are not the same. People making less money today in real wages than they made 18 years ago, that our jobs are leaving the country. That our educational system stinks. Its absolutely horrible. Our educational system. And they are not part of that educational system to a large extent so i fully understand. You are going to go with an economic based program to try to get more assets to africanamericans. Okay. What about the police . Now, when you see something that happened in louisiana, what happened in minnesota, where blacks are killed by police and there is videotape and this kind of thing, what goes through your mind . I thought they were terrible. I thought it was a terrible, disgusting performance that i saw. Now, whether thats training, whether they choked or they got scared or nervous. I mean, the one man being stepped on and then shot in particular, i looked at that and i said wow, thats bad. Thats bad. The other one in the car, really bad but i guess they could say he was going for his license or identification and maybe thought it was a gun. But it was bad. Both of them were very, very sad. So maybe thats lack of training. Mayb people. I dont know. Its such a bad thing to see those two sites. No question about it and then you have to go a step further. Go ahead. A step further when you saw the policemen shot, i mean, how bad was that . And we cant allow that to happen. Thats domestic terrorism, sure. We cant allow any of that to happen. As far as the police are concerned, you say, okay, these two individual things are bad. But are they symptomatic in your opinion of a larger problem with American Police . That they fear blacks or that they act differently around africanamericans . Do you believe thats in play . Look, it could be. You have to see it i mean, there are so many individual cases. There are certain cases where this takes place and its horrible. I mean, somebody will meet. They will have a Commission Meet and the commission may have an answer, but i almost dont care what the Commission Says because i you know, i see it with my eyes. I hate what i saw, those two instances. I hate what i saw when somebody guns down all of these policemen and kills five miss policemen. I hate it. Do you believe there is a problem in american policing whereby blacks are treated differently than whites . Do you believe that . It could be. Its s. Its possible . It could be and. Is there anything you can do about that . I think its training. Its training of the police. By the way, i have to say, i think the police 99. 9 , i mean, i think the police do an incredible job in this country, the problem with two instances like this which i think were terrible but they get broadcast on television. Sure. Show all of the good work that the police does. There are hundreds and hundreds and thousands of cases where the police do phenomenal work. Im a big fan of the police of this country. Okay. Black lives matter. I have said its a hate group. Built upon opinion by their leadership of White Supremacy keeping blacks down. How do you define black lives matter . Well, first of all, i think the term is very divisive. The first time i heard it i said you have to be kidding. They cant use that they just cant. I think its a very, very, very divisive term. There is no question about it. I have heard what you have to say. I think its a very divisive term. The group itself, are they helping america or hurting america . Well, i would say they are dividing america. I think that, you know, statements that i have seen, i saw what they said about the police in various marches and rallies. I have seen, you know, moments of silence called for for this horrible human being who shot the policeman. And i, you know, i have seen it and i think its certainly its very divisive and i think they are hurting themselves. Finally, you said president obama is a divider. Do you believe he does that on purpose . Do you believe that the president says i want to divide the nation . I want to have strife between the races . I dont know, bill. I really dont know what his reasoning is. But i can tell you that im sitting in chicago where we have had almost 5,000 killings deaths, from the time he became president and you dont hear too much about it. And you see whats going on now, and by the way getting worse and worse and worse. I dont know. I cant speak for the president. I wouldnt want to speak for the president. Im sure he wouldnt want me to speak for him. But, things are not going well. And i think they are going to be getting before they get better. All right. We will have more with trump in a moment. We will talk about the convention, jeb bush not attending. He says why. Also, the Vice President ial situation with mr. Trump. Then, later, a guest on the factor last week accuses me of being unfair on the case load front. Select centrum vitamins are buy one, get one half off. boy bye, mom.

If you believe like i do that the presidency is sacred ground and you have a president that upholds the constitution and i dont believe either one of the candidates fulfills that primary kind of objective, then i cant voted for either one of them. I cant vote for Hillary Clinton and i cant vote for donald trump it breaks my heart. How do you react for that, mr. Trump . Well, thats sort of simple. I watched and i actually felt badly for him. Is he talking about upholding the constitution but he doesnty uphold his pledge. He signed an irrelevant rec irrec irrelevant rev voyeur cable pledge. Its a strong pledge to support the candidate the nominee. He has violated that which means that he has signed something and he has totally violated it now, i dont need his support. I mean im fine without his support. Obviously i havent had his couple other peoples support. When you sign the pledge. I signed the same pledge. The reason they signed it because i would sign it because im the one they wanted to sign it im the one they were worried about. If i would have lost, i will tell you, i would have honored that pledge, he signed something in writing as strong as it could be and i will tell you another thing, look jeb spent more money than anyone else much, much more than me. Got a tiny fraction ever the votes i got. I spent the least amount of money and the most votes. I think somebody should respect that. Thats the people speaking. Thats not me. He spent much more money, he worked very hard. I understand how he feels. But i spent much less and i came in number one. And they should respect that in all fairness, including jeb. Vice president , the rumor is you are going to announce noon on friday. I cant believe you would do that because friday is the slowest news day of the week. Newspapers on saturday nobody reads them. So you have to do it on thursday so i can analyze it. [ laughter ] or monday right before the convention. Have you selected, i know you are not going to tell me although you should pause more people are watching now than any other broadcast you would go on. Could be. Do you know who it is right now . I have a pretty good idea. We have it down to five people. No, no, no. You. Actually what im thinking about. I have a fairly decent idea. That tells me a guy is that sat next to you in the Yankee Stadium over the years you know who its going to be. Are people going to be surprised or is it one of the people that have been bantered around and predicted . Well, bill, im not doing this for surprises. Im not doing this for games. Im doing this because i want to pick somebody who is going to help me get elected. Pence or gingrich. We are doing this like i have got a secret here. Remember that old show. Yeah. Very good show. You are older than me so you probably remember it better. [ laughter ] you know who it is. Its not going to be a surprise like you are not going to have omarosa on the ticket and you are going to acknowledge it on thursday now. Have you changed your mind since the news cycle is on friday it doesnt exist, right . Well, you are right about news cycle. Im not necessarily saying i was going to do it on friday anyway. Thursday would be really good time and on the factor. Those people know me very well. Factor live would be the best. We do plenty of factors. You do and we admire you for that and i have said that and we are hoping Hillary Clinton will get on the train. Never easy but thats okay. Now, you said earlier that you may speak every night at the convention and i said to you do you have to . [ laughter ] its a little joke. I didnt i didnt say that. The Networks Want mood toe speak every night at the convention. For the ratings. The Networks Like ratings i will not be speaking every night. One keynote next thursday. Most likely. I have Great Respect for the institution of the convention. Im not going to change the wheel. We have something thats very special. Could we make it a Great Entertainment show . Maybe it shouldnt be that. We have a very good convention. We have many, many people that want to speak that we wont be able to allow because we dont have time. We are totally overbooked. We have great speakers. We have winners. We have people that arent only political people. We have a lot of people just champions and winners and i think thats what we want because we want this country to start winning again where its not winning, obviously. But i think were going to have a very good convention. But i dont want to change the wheel. Okay. And we look forward to covering New Cleveland next week, mr. Trump, as always, we thank you very much for coming on. Thank you. Thank you very much, bill. directly ahead, fox news correspondent assaulted by black lives matter protesters over the weekend.

Come on fellas lets go easy to use Chase Technology for whatever youre trying to master. Impact segment tonight, two hot topics, fox news correspondent assaulted by black lives matter protesters and the general racial divide in america. Joining us now from washington kirsten powers. What did you think of mr. Trumps view on the race divide . Well, i dont agree with him on the idea that president obama is divisive and somehow contributing to the racial divide. I think the racial divide is something that exists completely independent of president obama and i dont think that his rhetoric is in any way causing the division that were seeing. What do you think though when the president associates, thats the best word, with the lakes of al sharpton who is absolutely divisive and who has not condemned the excesses of black lives matter in the sense that if you look at the leadership of that organization, i dont know whether you have studied it or not, i hope you have, but if you havent, you should, their primary theme is that america is run by quote, unquote, black supremists and white pressroom supremists and that inherently the system is rigged and it has to be broken down and completely changed. Thats the philosophy of the crew. Not we want to have a conversation to make things better. If the president is associating with a guy like sharpton, cozies up a little bit do black lives matter, i think thats quiive, is divisive, is it not. Whats his association with sharpton . Sharpton has been at the white house maybe 50 times. Is he all over president obama. In the context probably of a lot of different leaders, and. No, no, no. Not as many as him. Many critical things to say about him, but is he a leader in the black community and i think the president has ever reason to be communicating with him. I dont think that means he affirms everything that he believes. Is he a divider. Im not saying he is not a leader in the black community. He may be a divider that doesnt mean that the preside
