FOXNEWSW The OReilly Factor March 15, 2016

Question you have asked all day. Caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor begins right now. Hi, im bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. Donald trump and violence. That is the subject of this evenings talking points memo. One of the biggest political stories in years unfolded in chicago friday night as hundreds of left wing protesters manage to shut down Donald Trumps rally at the university of illinois, chicago. But if you were monitoring the National Media coverage of the fracas, you did not, did not get the entire story. Which is grossly unfair to you and an insult to journalism. Heres what really happened. One week ago on monday, march 7th, about 180 University Faculty and staff sent a letter to the University Chancellor expressing concern about the trump rally from a liberal point of view. The same day, the far left website move on. Org partially funded by radical george soros posted a petition opposing the trump rally in chicago. All throughout the week, far left people ramped up the campaign to deny donald trump the chicago forum. Thus, on friday, it was noo surprise that disrupted protesters entered the university peaceful peaceful pavilion to shut trump down. I ask you who is at fault . Who prey voked the incident . The answer is obvious far left agitators who do not believe in freedom of speech and drove a situation that could have become violent. There is no question about it. Mr. Trump was right to cancel the convenient because people misk might have been hurt. The National Media almost immediately spun the story, demonizing donald trump and his supporters, blaming the incident on inflammatory rhetoric and racist thought. In the process the press ignored the moveon component. Essentially condoning a flat out assault on freedom of speech. Now, there is evidence that some Trump Supporters are angry, undisciplined people. Some violent. Thats true some supporters of Bernie Sanders are angry and undisciplined. Here is an interesting footnote. The radical group black lives matter actually shut down a sanders rally last august. So, there is a trend. Radical leftist believing they can disrupt political events at will. Talking points applauds honest dissent. If you dont like donald trump, stand outside his sign. Peacefully. Chant whatever you want as long as its not threatening, opposition to donald trump is not the issue here. True fascism is. We have seen some antitrump people useuj the fascist salute while taunting Trump Supporters. But heres a very simple question. Shutting down opposing points of view is totalitarian, right . So some of the very people accusing Trump Supporters of being fascist are really practicing that terrible philosophy themselves. Or am i wrong . Now, for the political implications of the chicago story. Basically, trump is taking heat from both sides. First of all, the protesters were in the wrong. When you come up and you use violence, you engage in violence, you threaten violence. And when you try to shut down and shout down speech, thats not what the First Amendment allows. It is not beneficial when you have a candidate like donald trump who is telling his protesters punch that guy in the face. Its clear that donald trump is running a very cynical campaign pittingu groups of americans against one another. He is trafficking in hate and fear. So whats the real truth about mr. Trump himself . Well, he has said some provocative things when protesters have interrupted his speeches. Thats okay for a businessman to do. But not for a potential president. Donald trump must make a transition now from trying to get there to actually being there. K[ v in the beginning of the campaign his flamboyant rhetoric got him attention and support. Now he is a very viable president ial contender. Thus, his presentation carries much more weight. There is some irony here that the far left protesters in chicago are actually helping trump, rather than hurting him. He, again, dominated the news cycle this weekend and by shutting down his event, his support grew in some places. Because the trump haters are so extreme. Dont believe a me . Listen to this sound bite from a former ohio state senator. Mr. Trump continues to amp up folks in a way that is unbecoming of this country. But i and i know that we are quick to point the finger at him, but let us not forget that in the d. N. A. Of this country, chris is, racism. This country was founded on racism and sexism, point blank. And we need to admit that. No, we do not need to admit that pause it is simplistic, insulting and ridiculous. Those who support donald trump loathe people like nina turner who you just saw. And the more she and others demonize trump, the stronger his support gets in some precincts. But, again, if you are going to be president , you cannot load up on inflammatory statements and that is being seized upon by mr. Trumps republican opponents. Some of these protesters that you saw in chicago apparently obviously were organized, maybe even paid to disrupt an event. Im not excusing their behavior. This is not just the protesters in chicago. Where people are assaulted and beat up. Where a guy gets sucker punched by one of the Trump Supporters. Scmj4 p c instead of condemning it trump is silent. I dont accept responsibility. I do not condone violence in any shape, and i will tell tell i from what i saw the young man stuck his finger up in the air and the other man sort of just had it. But i still i dont condone violence. Now, if donald trump wins ohio tomorrow, he wins the nomination. Thats how close is he to running against Hillary Clinton for the presidency. By winning the republican nod, but winning the republican nod, i should say, is far different than winning the general election where mr. Trump is going to have to persuade about 65 million americans to vote for him. A significant challenge. It is a forgone conclusion that minority voters in america will be very skeptical about donald trump. He have trouble in states like california, illinois and even here in new york which have a lot of electoral votes. In addition, some republicans who dont like trump will stay home, and the press, as we have seen in the chicago case, will not cover the Trump Campaign fairly. They will come after him with everything they] have. This election here is unlike any i have ever seen. Things could easily get out of control. Donald trump is an intelligent man. But he is in unfamiliar waters. He has never been through anything like this before. He would be wise to tone it down a bit. To fully explain his positions to. Hire advisors to ho can articulate his vision. And to conduct himself with restraint. Mr. Trump has to overcome big odds to win the white house. It can be done as mrs. Clinton has her own challenges. But a tone adjustment will have to be made. Thats the memo. Next on the rundown, we will have the inside story of that trump rally friday night from guys who were there. And then Charles Krauthammer has some thoughts about the press, trump, and violence. Factor is coming right back. Relieve both itchy, ly o watery eyes and congestion.

Of paragraph in the impact segment tonight, if you missed many coverage of the trump event. Two of the reporters on the scene for us jeff flock from the Fox Business Network in youngstown tonight and from florida john roberts. John, first of all, did i make any mistakes in my talking points about the provocations that you saw in chicago . In a word, no, bill. You know, move on. Org had tried to get a petition signed. They were looking for 70something thousand signatures to try to shut that rally down. Coalition of faculty at the university of illinois and chicago also trying to shut it down. And then there were various groups inside, whether they be student groups or just want to do come to try to either protest or disrupt the rally. So, i think you were 100 percent on in all your points, bill. Now, when you got inside the pavilion, all right, when you and your crew arrived to cover the event, what struck you as you walked. In it started before that i had flown from missouri to chicago on Donald Trumps plane. He took one route to do some business and we took another route to go to the event. Couple blocks were closed by police. As we ran a couple blocks to getcl inside. Lines of people trying to get into the event to try to get into the building and across the street was a large group of protesters. Once we got inside there t. Was fairly energetic and electric environment as you knew there was a lot of Trump Supporters there. You also knew there was were a lot of protesters who manage to do get inside. Chicago has a long and rich history of political protests and people decided they want to do come and make their voice heard and also try to take away Donald Trumps freedom of speech rights to hold this rally. How did you know that . How did you know the protesters inside trump wasnt on stage. How did you as a reporter know that they were in there to disrupt . Maybe they were just in there to listen. There were a number of people, bill, who were taken out before the announcement was made. And i think thats the reason why donald trump decided not to make it. Why were they taken out, john . What were they doing that got them ejected . Pause it was clear, bill that there were some people in there who were there to protest. And they interacted with some Trump Supporters. Trump supporters identified a few people, whether it was what they were wearing in terms of clothing or signs that they might have had with them. They just, you know, there is a little bit of back and forth and the police didnt want it to get out of happened. Those people were removed before anything, you know, came to fruition. But i think you can make an argument that,iz qn yeah, perhas donald trump decided that there was a potential for violencek there. Was there was also a potential, bill, with so many hundreds if not thousands of protesters in that building he wasnt going to be able to get a word in edgewise and probably why they made the decision. Right. If that was intent to drown him out. When you talk to some these people, the protesters, did they openly admit they dont believe in freedom of speech, they just want to shut down trump because they dont like him . They didnt admit therapy opposed they were opposed to Donald Trumps freedom of speech. They just didnt like his freedom of speech. One fellow trying to walk around a i asked her to please stop obscenities on national television. Give me a moment i will talk to you. Why do youet want to protest . When i eventually got to her she gave me her name and i said why are you protesting . She said i dont want to say. She couldnt come up with a reason. Some of the other people who were there to protest cited jhp c reason why they were there. I thought it was particularly ironic this young woman Walking Around shouting obscenities, trying to cause some disruption and some distraction yet, would not give me a reason why she was there you would think if she had the conviction to be there she would be able to tell me why. Give you a reason why she is taking the time. Lets go to jeff flock in ohio. Jeff, when you talk to the Trump Supporters, the trump people, john handled the protest for us. Lets get to the other side. Were they egg nilgt any kind of violence were they pushing the protesters arranged or anything like that . Did you see that . After the event was cancelled, there was a lot of conflict. These people were very upset. They had come a long way. They stood in line for hours. They want to do see donald trump and they felt that these people had kept them from dog that. So there was a lot of back and forth. Although i would point out most of this was nonviolent. We are focusing on the pictures that were violent. On the outside, i would also add that there were a lot of protesters in the crowd that i talked to republicans, two republican, you know, kind of soccer moms in the crowd who said im a staunch republican but i dont like his hate speech. I dont want him representing my party. Thats why im here. But they were conducting a very reasoned protest. They were carrying a sign but they werent chanting. They werent trying to cause any trouble. They want to do make their view known. But before the announcement of the cancellation, what im trying to get at here is my hypothesis is that this was a contrived plan to just shut down trump and his supporters. But the media covered it in a way that said,vc look, Trump Supporters are thugs, and they are looking for trouble did. You see any of that . No. I think there were certainly people on the inside that were more agitating. The protest that had been organized was supposed to be a nonviolent protest. They want to do go in there and chant. They want to do disrupt in some fashion. And there was a larger group of them that at any previous protest. I mean, protesters had been ejected from previous rallies. Well, this one they will they realized they were never going to be able to eject them all. Thats because move on and some of the other far left websites got involved and they planned it out and they directed people. In thats what happened. And thats what they did. Only a matter of time before that happened, exactly. They finally estimatenned up and said hey, if its one were going to get thrown out. If its 100 never get all of us out of here. Gentlemen, thankh9รท you. I want to point out i was in los angeles over the weekend and reading the l. A. Times. No mention of move on. No mention of an organized drive to stop donald trump from speaking. None of that it was all trump, trump, trump, trump. His fault. Directly ahead, Charles Krauthammer has some thoughts on the violence surrounding mr. Trump. And later watters world. tqtz aw what issues are in play during the primary season, up ahead. Soup and sandwich and cannonballs and clean and real and looking good and sandwich and soup and a new personal best. And a little help and soup and sandwich and study group. Good, clean food pairs well with anything. Try the clean pairings menu. At panera. Food as it should be. One of many pieces in my life. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you.

What we dont have time for is all that petty, punk ass little thuggery stuff thats been going on with these quote, unquote, protesters who are doing nothing but wasting your time and trying to take away your First Amendment rights, your rights to assemble peacefully. And the media, being on the thug side, what the heck are you guys thinking, media . Sarah palin today addressing the situation and in the personal story segment tonight. Lets bring in Charles Krauthammer from washington who has been listen to our analysis of the trump violence situation. And you say . Well, its refreshing to hear sarah palin. Its that kind of reasoned, calm, you know, rhetoric, political rhetoric that we really need in this country and its so welcomed when we can hear it from her. Look, i thought your talking points are on point but there are two separate issues here. D eat is what happened in. Chicago. That was the far left using a timehonored tactic that they used in the 30s and the 40s. The fascists and the communists, which is to shut down the opposition and not allow them to speak. Thats what they have been doing for 70 years. And they do it here. And its not new to the president ial campaign. This is whats been going on on campus. As you and others have reported, having nothing to do with the presidency. For months and months, we see that speakers are shut down, people are intimidated. We have the university of missouri journalism professor calling for muscle, to actually physically assault the press. This is old stuff that you8n get on the far left and the far right. Thats and there is no defending it and i dont think that you blame the victim in this case, trump and his supporters. Thats what the media did. Thats fine. But the media. Did you notice that though . Because im sitting there in l. A. Im reading the l. A. Times. Im reading the new york times,. Im switching around. All im getting is trump is a fascist. Trump is a
