Transcripts For FOXNEWSW The OReilly Factor 20170225

In fact, in covering my comments, the Dishonest Media did not explain that i called the fake news the enemy of the people, the fake news. Ew they dropped off the word fake, and all of a sudden, the story became, the media is the enemy. They take the word fake out. Im against the people that make up stories and make up sources. They shouldnt be allowed to use sources unless they use somebodys name. Somebody said a poll came out. And i say, what network is it . And they will say a certain lets not even mention names, right . Should we . Me well, you have a lot of them. Look, the Clinton News Network is one. [cheers and applause] but as you saw throughout the entire campaign and even now, the fake news doesnt tell the truth. Chris but one of the targets of mr. Trumps fire, the editor of the New York Times, makesum no apology for his papers coverage of the trumpp administration. I think the coverage of donald trump has been sensational. I mean sensational in a good way. Not sensationalistic. I think its been tough and aggressive. I think he is not used to it. Chris joining us from miami with reaction, fox news analystu bernie goldberg, purveyor of bernardgoldberg. Com. Bernie, what do you make of President Trumps continued general attack on Fox News Media and his specific attack now on the use of unnamed sources . This isnt donald trump shooting from the lip as he so often does. S. This is a coordinated, calculated war on the media and the goal is simple. Try to bring them down, try to delegitimize them. Try to take away what credibility they may still have left, eviscerate that credibility so that when they and they will report something donald trump doesnt like, and i dont mean just doesnt like, i mean really doesnt like, people wont believe them. T it comes down to a sentence. D steve bannon and donald trump want to bring the mainstream fake media, as they put it down, before the media bring them t down. Chris let me pick up on that, because the president complained in his diatribe about unnamed sources. T he complained specifically about a Washington Post story that had nine unnamed sources. And he said well, thats bull. They didnt have any sources. But, in fact, the story he is referring to was the Washington Post story that revealed the fact that when Michael Flynn spoke to the russian ambassador, despite his earlier denials, that he had actually talked about sanctions ambassador. And fake news or not, it was on the basis of that information not necessarily the story but the warning from the Justice Department that trump fired f Michael Flynn. Exactly. Exactly. Look, lets talk about sources and about one of the sound bited that you played leading up to this segment. Donald trump says and this isnt me, this is donald trump saying today at cpac that reporters shouldnt be able to use any sources without attaching a name to it. Okay. Ri if that were the case, we wouldnt know what was going on in the Nixon White House during watergate because deep throat was an anonymous throat. Chris listen, we wouldnt know whats going on in thewo Trump White House. We have unnamed sources in the Trump White House all the time. Exactly. Exactly. Lets go today at cpac. A couple of hours before donald trump made that statement, there was a press briefing at the white house held by two top officials of the trump administration, but there was a condition, chris. The condition was that they be Anonymous Sources. Okay . I mean, come on. How could donald trump go up there and say there should be no Anonymous Sources, you should attach a name to it, two hours after his own people want to remain Anonymous Sources . Its crazy. Chris bernie, let me ask you about another dustup today at the white house. Sean spicer after the president she cpac speech invitd a bunch of reporters, there was more than a dozen reporters invited into his office for a briefing, but he specificallyut excluded reporters from the New York Times and cnn. What do you make of that . Well, let me make sure ind understand this. When Barack Obamas white house tried to marginalize and delegitimize fox news, conservatives rightly were angry. When the Obama White House wouldnt let people come on your sunday show, we were angry at that too. Again, rightly. But now the Trump White House is saying, we dont like these news organizations because they are unfair to us, so well keep them out. Were supposed to accept that . Chris let me just say, i should point out that the white house correspondents association, including fox news, has formally filed a profit with sean spicer about that, the idea of marginalizing and saying some news organizations will be allowed into a briefing but others wont. Right. But there are two parts of this that are hypocritical. The Trump White House part and the people who are the most avid supporters of donald trump. According to a cbs poll, thats only 22 who supports him, period. Thats the words in the polymeric. In the pool. We support him under any circumstances. They dont care about this. Their position is, you did it to us, now we are doing it to you. Thats why i have said before, and i will say it again to you tonight, chris, in the world of political dialogue, principles are either dead or on their death bed. B this is not chris i got just a little bit of time left, and i want to get into one more thing with you because there is another controversy at the white house today. Ovte one reason that the white house may be mad at cnn is that theyad reported a story thatte Reince Priebus tried to put pressure on the fbi to knock down a story that had gotten wide circulation that there was lots of association during the campaign between Trump Associates and russian intelligence. What do you make of that story . First of all, i dont know what is true and isnt true. Y i dont necessarily believe a mainstream medias version of it but i dont necessarily believe Donald Trumps version of it either. Look, a lot of this the press brings on itself. Some reporters the animosity level against donald trump in some quarters is in the unhealthy range. Im some reporters would like to see him destroyed. But, but, bias as bad as it is, isnt fake news. There is a big difference, and o think donald trump, sooner or later, is going to have to realize that news he doesnt like isnt fake, its biased, which shouldnt be. Fake news is Hillary Clintons running a sex ring for children out of a pizzeria in washington. Thats fake. Reporters i worked at cbs news for 28 years. They have biases, they have faults, but they dont go into a room and say, lets make up sources and lets make up stuff to hurt reagan, bush, or donald trump. It doesnt happen that way. Chris bernie goldberg, everyone. Bernie, thank you. Straight ahead, more on that dustup as the president slams the fbi leak about Reince Priebus. We will have the latest on this developing story. [car engine failing to start] [clicking of ignition] uh wha woof eeh woof wuh [silence] [engine roars to life] [dog howls] dramatic opera music swells from radio [howling continues] chris in the impact segment tonight, the white house has been fighting back against allegations that during the campaign some Trump Associates were in touch with russian intelligence agents. White house chief of staff Reince Priebus told me this on sunday. The New York Times last week put out an article with no direct sources that said that t the Trump Campaign had constant contacts with russian spies. Basically, you know, treasonouss type accusations. We have now all kinds of people looking into this. I can assure you, and i have been approved to say this, that the top levels of the Intelligence Community have assured me that that story is not only inaccurate, but its grossly overstated and it was wrong. Ta and there is nothing to it. Hi chris but now, as wet discussed briefly in the previous segment, there are reports that Reince Priebus asked top fbi officials to go public to knock down the stories. And that has raised questions about possible white house interference in the investigation. Even the president weighed in on twitter, blasting the fbi for not finding those responsible for leaking this story. Joining us now from houston, a democratic strategist, martin attorney and early g. O. P. Supporter of President Trumps president ial run. So, mustafa, whats wrong with what Reince Priebus did, asking the fbi to knock down a false story . Oh, my god, look, of the president s chief of staff goes to the head of the fbi and says, hey, this story is coming out as damning us. Can you go out and give us cover . Didnt happen. While the fbi is investigating the president s campaign. Chris i think saying that he just asked him to cover up the crime is not quite accurate. Not to cover up to give them cover. Chris go ahead, ed. Chris, this is drain the swamp stuff. We need an accountable fbi also. The fact are, on the friday before that interview on your show, Reince Priebus was told by the number two guy at the fbi its all nonsense. And then reince said later, can you guys say that . And they said no, we cant,ei ad reince said, well, why cant you . If comey could say that about the letters with hillary, all this stuff, why cant he say it . He said, you can say it, reince, and he did. What we need they ought to fire people p at the fbi who leaked the story about reinces call. The fbi works for the president. If they cant do their job and be upfront, drain the swamp,th comey and mccabe should go. Chris we will get to that part of in a second. Since Reince Priebus is the only one on the record on this story, lets look at what he is saying. He says that he is in a meeting at the white house and the deputy director, a fellow named Andrew Mccabe comes up to him and says, look, that story that was in the New York Times about all the contacts were investigating is b. S. B. S. Is a cleaned up version of what mccabe allegedly said to priebus, and priebus said, can you say that . He later goes to comey and says can you say it . W they say no and thats the end of the story. How is that giving him cover . Ig he was basically saying, why dont you say in public what you just told me in private . Well, look, the investigation is much bigger than that. Its not just the fbi investigating. There are multiple sources. This is a national thing. The cia might be investigating. The New York Times didnt say their source was the fbi. When president s chief of staff goes on and talks to the head of and other officials in the fbi on an investigation thats ongoing, that is and incredible breach. Chris but he is only asking them to say in public what they told him in private. E. Right. Chris that the story is b. S. This is what we know based on information. We dont know what else they have talked about. The fact that theyre talking about an ongoing the president s chief of staff is talking to the fbi about an investigation. Chris mustafa, lets talk about the leaks. How did you like it when the fbi was leaking . Whatever happened, it was the fbi that put out the story to cnn that this conversation had taken place. Obviously Reince Priebus wasnt going to tell cnn. How did you like it when the fbi was leaking about Hillary Clinton . Well, how does the president like it the fact that when Reince Priebus is naming unknown sources and he doesnt want the newspapers and the media to report unknown sources . There is a huge hypocrisy. Nk chris wait. Ou you are ducking the question. What do you think about the fbi leaking it . Well, look, the fbi and others, there are so many leaks in this white house and in the a Intelligence Organization because there is not a credible investigation thats going on people, investigators. We need jason chaffetz. Come on. Chris ed, you get the final word here. No, look, i think we have the fbi on the shot seat and rightly so. The fbi works for the president. We ought to have some protectsn on letting things go go forward. It sounds like reince was hung out to drive on mccabe. A chief of staffs job is to manage all of the government, including Law Enforcement, and he has to do that. He has to ask for Law Enforcement to help him do his job. I think reince did the right thing here. Chris gentlemen, we have to leave it there. Thank you both, mustafa and ed. Coming up next, growing controversy over the trump administrations plan to deport bad dudes. A noted journalist and critic of the new sweep claims more than just criminals are at risk for deportation, and hell join us. Us. Safe drivers who switch to esurance could save money on car insurance. In fact, safe drivers who switch from geico to esurance could save hundreds. So if you switch to esurance, saving is a pretty safe bet. Auto and Home Insurance for the modern world. Esurance. An allstate company. Click or call. Chris in chris in the unresolved problem segment tonight, during a cpac speech today, the president once again promised to put up a wall between the u. S. And crackn border down on Illegal Immigrants who commit crimes in this country. Were building the wall. Were building the wall. In fact, its going to start soon, way ahead of schedule. [cheers and applause] way ahead of schedule. And, remember, we are getting the bad ones out. These are bad dudes. Were getting the bad ones out, okay . As we speak today, immigration officers are finding the gang members, the drug dealers, and the criminal aliens and throwing them the hell out of our country. Chris yesterday, mr. Trump described the effort as a military operation, which press Secretary Sean Spicer later qualified was not meant to be taken literally. And Homeland Security secretary john kelly also tried to calm fears during a meeting yesterday with mexican officials. There will be no, repeat, no mass deportations. Everything we do in d. H. S. Will be done legally and according to human rights and the legal Justice System of t chris joining us now fromte miami, univision anchor jorge ramos. G jorge, first, thanks for talking to us. Nice to be here. Chris best crime figures that we could come up with were that roughly 820,000 of the people in this country illegally are convicted criminals. Do you have any problem with finding them and kicking them out of the country . I have absolutely no problem with criminals. I have no problem with terrorists, with drug traffickers. But the problem, chris, is that President Trump is criminalizing the immigrants in this country. The vast majority of immigrants, vast majority of undocumented immigrants in this country, are not criminals, are not terrorists. And thats precisely the problem. You know, they come here because they want to work. They harvest the food that we eat, they build our homes, and they dont want to get in trouble with the police. I was reading before doing the interview a report by theef American Immigration consult immigrants are less likely to be criminals, be behind bars than u. S. Citizens. Chris jorge, i understand that, but, i mean, here you have john kelly, the secretary of Homeland Security saying there are not going to be mass deportations. Youve got President Trump in his speech talking about rapists and gang members and drug dealers. Why not take yes for an answer that those are the folks that he wants to deport . Actually, thats fine. But the problem is that how you define criminal now. During the Obama Administration, we have to say it, president barack obama deported more immigrants than any president in the president of the United States, 2. 5 million. Now at least they intended to deport only violent criminals. Thats not the case right now. General kelly, i heard exactly the same thing that you did, he is saying that there will be no mass deportation. Then what happened a week ago . They deported more than 680 immigrants. How do you define that mass deportation . And the problem is they were deporting not only the criminals, what they consider criminals, but also people that really have absolutely no problem with the law. A woman called guadeloupe garcia, 22 years in this country, she was deported. She was just a mom. Chris well, first of all, are you saying that when general kelly says no mass deportations, is he misleading . He is lying . No. Im saying i dont know exactly how he defines mass deportation. But the fact is that he ordered the deportation of 680 immigrants last week. How do you consider that . How do you define that . Chris i assume some of those were criminals or most of them were criminals. Do you have any reason to disbelieve . Some of them but many of them are not. Ny chris let me ask you about a differen
