are you a snowflake? >> no. no. no! no! no! >> 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. brand-new poll on president trump. that is the subject of this evening's "talking points" memo. according to cbs news, the job approval rating now instands at 40%. 7% don't know. that is not surprising for a president with no prior political experience who is vowing to drain the swamp in washington. this time next year, president trump's job approval ratings will be much more meaningful. next question, what do you think the main reason the republican health care plan did not pass? donald trump didn't compromise enough, 14%. congressional republicans didn't compromise, 14%, democrats, 14%, the bill just wasn't popular, 49%. so my analysis on monday was correct. >> bill: i don't think the president is going to blamed for this. this is my opinion as a very astute analyst. i think the folks out there are going, hey, trump screwed this up. they are going, congress screwed it up. and both parties did.th >> bill: next question from cbs news, do you think it is necessary for the fbi to investigate a possible link between the trump campaign and the russian government? 63% say necessary. 33%, not necessary. finally, do you think donald trump's offices were wiretapped during the presidential campaign? very likely, 22%. somewhat likely, 25%. not very likely, 25%. not likely at all, 30%. the country is split down the middle on the question, mostly along ideological lines. here's a question i would like posed to the american people. do you believe that the hatred towards president trump has reached a dangerous level in this country? the answer is yes. t h whether you like the president or not, it is brutally unfair to undermine his administration as some of his opponents are trying to do.rm we have the democratic party refusing to cooperate on anything. it now looks like senate rules will have to be changed toed appoint judge neil gorsuch to the supreme court because not enough democrats will support the man. it is clear that judge gorsuch is qualified. it is also clear the most powerful democrat in congress, senator chuck schumer, would look askance at any of his colleagues who support the judge. many democratic senators fear hemr. schumer. as fair-minded people will concede, there was hatred towards president obama. there was. but in the first months of his tenure, there was no apparent undermining of his administration. but now we have a climate of hatred where there are no rules and the media feeds the beast every single day. as a historian, i can tell you i have never seen the national press despise a president more than they do donald trump. richard nixon might have come close at the end of his term, but what we have now is unfair and destructive for america. hate should not be part of the political landscape.r that is "the memo." a now, for the top story reaction joining us from sarasota, florida, geraldo rivera. here in new york city, eric bolling. what do you think is driving the hatred towards trump? >> well, i think it is nothing new.nk first of all. the left stream media, which was completely caught off guard by the trump win, had hopes of having hillary clinton as a president, they are angry, they are bitter, sore losers. i think even from day one, they have given trump a hard time about everything he says andmp does and don't give him a passnd on anything. let me call donald trump and the trump administration out for one thing. i think on policy, they deserve an a. i love everything they are doing. on actual creating and saving jobs and economy, he is crushing it. jobs are staying, the numbers are fantastic, consumer confidence, housing prices, off the charts. so on policy and actual boots on the ground, what's going on in the economy, it's great. but he himself gave his communications department a c. i think that contentious relationship between the media and trump communications department and the media need to get fixed before he starts getting a pass on some of these things. >> bill: all of that may be true and maybe not true.hi but that doesn't explain the personal animus. how do you think that has developed, geraldo? the personal hatred towards trump. you know trump. you don't hate him. i know him. he is a likable guy. >> you and i have known him for decades. we have known him for decades. he is a very flamboyant personality, just like you and i are, bill. when you are a flamboyant personality and you are succeeding, people tend to stay out of your way. and look at the great track record he has had with his prime time success and then the historic victory at the white house. but he has had some terrible stumbles. yes, jobs are great, and he hasn't emphasized that enough. the economy, where's infrastructure now? instead, what we have seen this clumsy refugee ban that has done nothing but hurt tourism and scare people.t heavy-handedness in terms of the deportation of the undocumented immigrants. the health care, i don't blame don'tent trump and i blame speaker ryan for the failure of the health care bill. what you have there was the knifing in the back, the treason, the treachery of the freedom caucus. what is the freedom caucus? 40 or so congresspeople -- >> bill: you are talking policy and policy always has people disliking other people. this is personal. it's a personal thing. it transcends policy successes and failures. it transcends communication problems and tweets. they don't, "they" being the media and a lot of people, a lot of regular folks, don't like him. all right? so they can justify hatred and irrational behavior for any emotional reason. i don't know what that emotional reason is. >> of course you do, bill. he plays right into it. he loves it. he loves the fight with the media. he knows that the media -- >> bill: it's not just the media, it's folks, too.nd >> how about when he goes to these big press conferences and rips them apart? he is in his element. those are his best moments. he thrives on the fight. >> bill: he is being reactive. a look, geraldo, there are people in families who won't talk to each other because somebody voted for donald trump.ce i mean, this transcends john mccain versus barack obama or mitt romney. come on. >> i partially agree with both you and eric in this regard. if he had succeeded, health care is a heavy lift. it is a complex problem. paul ryan and the republicans crafted a reasonable compromise. as difficult as it was, if he had succeeded in getting that passed, after eight years of promising to repeal and replace obamacare, the buzz would have been much different. it is like instead of striking out in the bottom of the ninth inning in the seventh game of the world series, he got a single and scores a run. >> bill: this is way beyond policy. way, way beyond policy. >> when you have this kind of personality -- >> bill: he lives for this battle. it doesn't hurt him at all.on the poll numbers -- it may hurt him on poll numbers. he hasn't cared about the poll numbers for a year and a half and he is smart. america, the people who like donald trump love to fight with the media. they love it. they eat it up. i just think you guys areov missing this. there is something about donald trump that has gotten deep into people's emotional makeup. >> he is different.ot he is different. he's not a politician. >> bill: barack obama was different. all right? >> he is a brash person who canw only succeed with success. if he was a brash broke businessman, that would be different than a brash billionaire. he has no cachet when he is losing. he is at 36% because he has had no success --e >> bill: it's 40%. >> how is he losing? good lord. look at the economy, look at the jobs. knowing trump for a long time, decades, i am askance that you didn't call me flamboyant as you did bill o'reilly -- >> bill: bolling learned a new word here, "askance." so we'll be hearing at 18 times on "the five" this week. all right, gentlemen. we appreciate it. next on "the rundown", big mayors conference today on sanctuary cities. we will tell you what happened. later, lou dobbs on many americans having no money. dennis miller has a snowflake quiz for us. and a whole bunch of other stuff. those reports after these wfmessages. yeah, so mom's got this cold. hashtag "stuffy nose." hashtag "no sleep." i got it. hashtag "mouthbreather." yep. we've got a mouthbreather. well, just put on a breathe right strip and ... pow! it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. so you can breathe ... and sleep. shut your mouth and say goodnight mouthbreathers. breathe right. ♪ guys, what's happening here?

>> so the headline was about less than ten mayors from the so-called sanctuary cities. they met with the department of homeland security chiefnt john kelly to say, we are not breaking federal law. you can't take away federal funds from us. as we know, with the executive order in january, that was onede of the threats, and attorney general jeff sessions threatened that earlier this week. look, if you continue sanctuary policies, you will lose federal money, federal grants. >> bill: okay, so it's an unending debate. certain cities and counties say, we don't have to obey the detainer request from i.c.e.,alg to title 8, u.s. code 1324. it is pretty explicit that -- let me read it to the audience, we will have another segment on this. it says that an alien has come to enter the united states in violation of the law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to, such an alien in any place is against the law. so if you are shielding them from a detainer, if you are not allowing and upholding after an arrest, it seems to be in violation of this law. did kelly bring that up at all? do you know? >> well, the mayors, they said the issue is that detainers are voluntary.y. there are actually not backed by a warrant. they are not backed by law -- >> bill: is there any data that says they are voluntary? i mean, i have the code right here. it doesn't say it is voluntary. do you know of anything? >> they are saying that because detainers are not -- they are just that.y they are a detainer. they are not backed by a warrant. they are saying that they will adhere if there is a warrant. >> bill: i know. i don't know if a detainer is voluntary. i don't think it is legally. i mean, you can't arrest them, or i don't think you can arrest them here. that would be a pretty bold act. all right, kelly, we appreciate it. now, let's go to austin, texas, a big sanctuary place, and bring in karl rove, who lives there. travis county, where austin is, being punished by the state and the feds. how do you see that, mr. rove? b >> well, our local government, austin is a blueberry in the midst of a big, red sea. it's a very liberal town. adoptn expect them to these kind of policies. what is interesting to me is that they want to have it both ways. as i understand it, the sheriff, sally hernandez, says we'll ignore detainers, except when the detainer involves a case of capital murder, murder, aggravated sexual assault, or continuous human smuggling. i guess if you just are smuggling once, we will ignore it. if you have an aggravated assault or a sexual assault that is not aggravated, we will ignore that. if you've got manslaughter, assault, if you are dealing drugs, selling opiates, heroin, that is not -- >> bill: but where does - sally hernandez get the right to make this law? that is what i asked yesterday. she is basically saying, look, i am going to do what i want and i really don't care if the federal government wants to hold -- remember, all we are talking t about, people who have been arrested. we're not talking about gardeners. these are people who have been arrested, they are in sally hernandez' jail. okay? and then, i.c.e. finds out about it, not by sally, sally won't tell them -- >> sally will, if they are capital murder, aggravated sexual assault. >> bill: say you are a heroin dealer. >> that is not a serious crime, bill. we don't need to worry about that for the safety of our community. you think she's crazy? our county judge said, "i am frustrated that travis county resources of detention are continually diverted from public safety to address unfounded politically motivated allegations." so is she saying that if you are accused of assaulting somebody or being a drunk, a dui, kill someone, or a heroin dealer, that that is a "politically motivated allegation"? i mean, that is just ludicrous. >> bill: do people in your county, where you live, travis county, would the majority of them care about this? are they outraged about it? or are they so liberal that they don't care? >> it is a pretty liberal place. it is not likely to get the response it would get elsewhere in texas. here is a problem for travis county. sally hernandez was elected last fall. she took office and she announced this policy late last year, just before the texas legislature came to town for the 140 days every two years that it's here. so we have all of our texas state house representatives and senators here in town for a legislative session that goes through the end of may, and they are watching this drama play out. as a result, our governor, lieutenant governor, other state leaders have asked for legislation to deal with cities that refused to uphold the law and as a result, it will result in a very bad outcome for travis county. again, what gets me is, okay, if you want to be principled, then say we won't accept any federal detainer. what gets me, they say, no federal detainers except the four crimes that we have on our bad list. but if there are other badri crimes, oh, we won't treat that -- >> bill: it's anarchy. what you are saying is that the state of texas may make laws that would put sally hernandez in jail? >> no, but it's likely to deny travis county money for failing to live up to its obligations. and that is hopefully going to have an impact. i got to tell you, to me, it has got to be one or the other. you either respect the federal law and say we get a detainer for any violent crime and we will turn them over or you simply say, we won't accept any detainer, we will find some goofy excuse not to accept it. they are trying to have it both yways. trying to be pure to the liberal community -- >> bill: hiding behind the warrant situation, which is a very difficult thing to do. you have to present evidence, takes forever, and all of this. directly ahead, a massachusetts sheriff outraged about a lawmaker tipped off some illegal aliens about an i.c.e. raid. and later, what are american troops doing in syria?

>> what she did was, she sent out an alert saying she had gotten tipped off that there was going to be a i.c.e. raid on b wednesday in the city of boston. basically said to stay in your house, don't go outside, ifai somebody knocks on your door and you don't know who they are, don't answer the door. she gave out all kinds ofer instructions on what to do to avoid the i.c.e. agents if they were to come into that area. >> bill: did they indeed raid brockton?th was there a raid? >> i'm not aware of a raid at this point. but the underlying issue here is that we have an elected officiar who has gone out of her way not to protect the citizens of her community, but to harbor people who are targeted, and not only putting i.c.e. agents at risk because we need the elemente of surprise, when we go to a place, dealing with some heavy-duty transnational gangs involved in sex trafficking or the other things going on out there, we don't want to come up on some arsenal where they are prepared and seriously injure or kill any of our law enforcement people, never mind the crimes these people would get away with going down the road if she creates this -- o >> bill: yeah, if she lets them get away. in your experience, i.c.e. is targeting criminals, not gardeners and house painters, right? >> no question about it. >> bill: so, ms. dubois will say, i am looking out for the poor chambermaids who don't deserve to be scrutinized. that is what she will say. now, you pointed to -- i made reference to this in thew, previous segment, title 8, u.s. code 1234. is ms. dubois in violation of federal law for doing what she did? >> well, if we could prove that she was able to assist somebody from getting away in the instance where i.c.e. was going, targeting somebodyy and they can determine that this person, as a result, got away, i would say absolutely, i would got to believe -- >> bill: you would say there could be a case made. can there be a case made against sanctuary mayors in general who say, look, we're not going to cooperate in general? >> when they make an effort to consciously harbor or conceal someone, that is a felony under federal law, and they should be treated exactly the way their citizens or the constituents would be treated if they did the same thing when it comes to the consequences for that, so, yes. >> bill: you live in a county south of boston. you know massachusetts is one of the most liberal states in the union. yet you yourself are opposite the prevailing wisdom in the bay state. do your county people support you? po>> i have just been elected to my fourth six-year term, bill. i am a republican in the biggest democratic enclave in massachusetts. that proves a point, which is, the people around this country, whether they are democrats or republicans, they want the laws enforced, and they want to know that their elected officials and their law enforcement people are upholding those laws -- >> bill: you are not getting backlash? >> oh, sure. oh, sure i am. i get backlash. i have been getting backlash all throughng my career. i don't worry about it. i got elected by the people, not by the politicians.. >> bill: that is what i mean, not the politicians or the press. the folks -- it speaks to yourself, four terms. have you talked to ms. dubois?

why do americans not save? why are we 14th? >> i think that part of that is, we have gone through an extraordinarily period that we have emerged from. the other part is, we are offshoring our production, plants, factories. we are outsourcing our jobs. >> bill: it is a matter ofso wages? a matter of lifestyle? >> it is also partly lifestyle. >> bill: immediate gratification, running up credit cards? >> you can talk about consumer behavior, certainly, that is right. it is also bank behavior. when you're talking about 24%it rates on credit cards, bill, that is illusory, bill. >> bill: you have to be a morona to have a credit card with 24%. you can get it lower than that. >> you can, but a lot of people don't. the fact is, it is the system working. i will tell you, it is a system that favors banks and not the consumer. el particularly, the poor consumer. >> bill: benjamin franklin was a thrifty guy. >> we were a thrifty nation. >> bill: we were. then we hit somewhere, in the roaring '20s, started to go down, spending everything, then the depression hit. then nobody had anything at all. when i was growing up, and this ties into the old school philosophy, i was taught, you are making $1.30 at carvel, the government is taking a decent set of that, so you are coming y home with $0.80, $0.85 an hour. then you got to save half of that. >> you've got to save it. save for a rainy day, all of the old cliches are absolutely true. but in the 1960s, something happened, a great deal happened, as you know, the culture of this country. we became the throwaway nation.n we became the charge nation, credit cards were everywhere. the cashless society was w envisioned. it is here. what it leaves out are people who cannot, once people are offshoring their jobs and production, outsourcing their jobs and the american dream, there is about one-third of the american people who are getting desperately, horribly short-changed. >> bill: you are seeing it as more about generating income than foolish money management?

>> authorization of the use of military force.ti >> bill: impressive. >> we have been on the same one --he >> bill: it is the war on terror. >> it is all about the war on terror. president obama went on the same one.e. you try to get additional support from congress, but they never wanted to vote on it. this has been going on for years and years. >> bill: udall wants a new updated vote. i don't understand why udall -- i wish he would come on. if you are going through the stuff, senator, have a little cojones and come on and explain. why doesn't he want the united states and other nations, because it is a coalition in syria, to fight isis? why doesn't he want that? >> he believes it will deepen our engagement in another war like afghanistan. >> bill: that doesn't make any sense. >> he is saying, bring it before congress, and he wants to voteon it down. h he is saying the president has no right. to have troops on the ground in syria. >> bill: in senator udall's mind, all right, we shouldn't confront isis in the middle east at all. >> correct. >> bill: how about bombing? can we bomb them? >> no. he especially doesn't want any additional troops on the ground. >> bill: let's be clear. we are not in support of syrian forces. we are there in support of syrian rebel forces. assad -- >> the side we are on, extremely complicated. we are fighting for those who are fi >> bill: i just wonder if new mexicans understand that their senator doesn't want a confrontation militarily with isis. at all. does that sit well with you? just a question? >> just to point out, these are the same people who did not want to do anything after the red line was crossed. hundreds of thousands of syrians have lost their lives.s. now that there are civilian casualties, there is an outrage that has been stepped up by people like senator udall. >> bill: dallas-fort worth international airport, huge concern, 13-year-old boy was patted down aggressively and now everybody's angry. roll the tape. >> i honestly felt like we were being targeted. we were being treated like dogs. >> i have always been, like, really sensitive to people touching me. whenever he touched me, i got -- started having hives a littlee bit. >> bill: so what happened there? >> they went through, they werep detained for an hour at the tsa. >> bill: the mother and the daughter? >> they had a laptop in a backpack that they didn't take out. everybody is very touchy, so to speak, about taking all these things out and doing the proper procedure. they may have ticked off the tsa in this case, and maybe they were harder on them because of h that. that still remains to be seen. but here are the images of this boy. now everybody gets the same patdown, essentially. there is one form, they standardized it because tsa has gotten all kinds of bad press for tests when weapons go through and bomb making materials gets through, when they are doing fake tests ofom those things. now they have new standards, they implemented them on this young child. judgment is basically seen as a way to profile. right? if these people pick who they want to choose to pat down or to give extra surveillance to, they are seen as basically profiling. >> bill: yeah, this looks ridiculous to me. >> it is totally ridiculous. it is totally ridiculous. this boy is obviously not posing any threat. neither is his family.mi but they subjected him to a two-minute patdown. >> bill: that's the federal government, that is for sure. oh, what do we got there? >> and the supervisor watched the whole thing to make sure they were going according to procedure. ridiculous. >> bill: so wrong. so wrong. okay, martha maccallum, check her out at 7:00 p.m. easternme time.er "factor" tip of the day, another good thing fox news channel has accomplished. "the tip" moments away. channels accomplished. "the tip" moments 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. >> bill: factor "tip of the day," fox news helping people this story -- not only does "the o'reilly factor" remain number one across cable news, it also delivered the most watched quarter in network and cable news history. so, thank you all for making that happen. my new book, "old school: life in the sane lane"'s number one on amazon. off to a roaring start. we're kind of lucky, as the pc topic is red-hot. old-school folks versus the snowflakes. the french philosopher was very here is how misguided you are. stories change a bit but it is still of national importance. two illegal aliens placed with a 14-year-old in a public school. come on. that is happening all over the place. my actions have nothing to do with the congresswoman's point of view. h i made a dumb comment. that detracted from the serious issue you raise. so i apologized. that is old-school. you make a mistake and admit it. you are not only old school, robert, you are a patriot. a signed book is on the way. and finally, the factor "tip of the day." we are living in an age of fate. here in america. it is a shame. politics and social issues poisoned the discourse. perhaps the most vile example is branding someone a racist. "yes, boston, you are racist." nice.s, one of america's greatest cities branded that way by a loon. this week, sean spicer has been called the r word. me too. consider this -- the factor raised $675,000 to allow talladega college, a black school in alabama, to send its fabulous marching band to the inauguration.ll they were invited. to provide school scholarships.. >> we owe bill o'reilly and the o'reilly factor a great thank you for the appearance on his show. these funds are not going to just allow us to take the trip, our band needs new uniforms and new instruments. it is so difficult for our students to raise scholarship dollars to stay in school and to be able to fund their education. this will help with that. >> bill: the school has almost $700,000. how did the media react to the talladega story? just two major news organizations mentioned it. "the new york times" andct associated press. compare that reaction to the nonstop attacks on this network. here is the "tip of the day" -- using false allegations to injure his the lowest. an honest person will never do that. that at that for us tonight. please check out the factor web site, different from billoreilly.com. also we would like you to spout out about the factor from anywhere in the world.d. name and the town if you wish th opine. word of the day -- do not be foppish when writing to "the factor." a big factor interview tomorrow. again, thank you for watching us tonight. please remember that the spin stops here. we are definitely looking out for you. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," a recurring theme -- the federal government being actively hostile to your beliefs and interests. massachusetts lawmakers trying to keep illegal immigrants on the wrong side of the wall, helping them violate federal law. federal funds apparently going to a program that teaches kids the tenets of islam. we open with perhaps the most extreme example of this trend, the opioid epidemic which has been funded by the federal government. you would think there would be bipartisan support to fight that but that does not seem to be the case.
