After we finished the kitchen floor. [laughter] bill caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor begins right now. Bill hi, i am bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. The brawl over Sanctuary Cities. That is the subject of this evening talking points memo. As you may know, the federal government is threatening cities that do not cooperate with Homeland Security with the loss of federal grant money. Now, the city of seattle, suing the feds over that, the first of many lawsuits, i believe. The basic problem is that cities like chicago, seattle, new york, los angeles, san francisco, do not want to hold Illegal Aliens theyve arrested until i. C. E can pick them up. Though cities want to release the aliens on bail or their own recognizance. Talking points believe that is dangerous and irresponsible. If there is a federal detainer
play to that constituency. And to the federal government, which now wants to enforce immigration law, because President Trump made out a hallmark of his campaign. You have two opposing forces with little chance of reconciliation. It should be noted that the federal Appeals Courts have never required local governments to comply with detainer requests. It is optional. If you cant be arrested if you defy a detainer. An official can be arrested if he or she defies a warrant. Finally, to make things worse it is comply with federal law, the Trump Administration will now withhold money from them in the form of Justice Department grants, that means cities like seattle, which receives millions of dollars to beef up local law enforcement, and Institute Safety programs, may no longer get that money. Which is why seattle is suing. The whole thing is a giant mess and reflects the Huge Division in this country. Will Sanctuary Cities be forced to comply . Doubtful. But they will pay a price. Thats the memo. Now come the top story, an interview with the attorney
on him. They ignored it in denver, and a few weeks later, he murdered and robbed an individual in the area. So, you dont have to be a criminal but that is our top priority. Bill this man did not have a criminal record when you ask for a detainer. But you know he was a member of a gang and the City Of Denver Stillwater and told him. Then, he got out and he murdered someone. Im talking about the millions of Illegal Aliens working the farms in california and florida and working as chambermaids or whatever. You dont have a squad or a crew going after them, do you . No, you are correct. That is not where we a i. C. E is focusing its efforts at all. We are doing a lot of good things, for example, it looks like the entries at the border are down 60 just because of President Trumps strong leadership. As we continue to build a wall and beef up our forces then
bring in more judges, well be even more successful they are. That is the way to solve this problem. If we stay at it, we can create a lawful system of immigration, one that admits 1 Million People lawfully every year and one that we can be proud of as a nation. Bill we dont want anarchy. Now, is there any other way to pile up punishing story cities other than denying them the Justice Department grants, which will hurt them a little bit, but it certainly not going to put them out of business. You have heard the rhetoric from rahm emanuel and de blasio in new york and the mayor of san francisco, they will defy you. Is there any other punitive measure that the Trump Administration is thinking of taking . We dont want to take any measures. We want to see the citys comply. I was pleased that miami complied. I was pleased to see the president of the Maryland Senate to reject a house passed bill and save maryland would not be a sanctuary state. He said that unequivocally. Hes a democrat. I think a lot of these leaders need to get, here from their constituents. You are right, it is not going to devastate their budgets. We dont have that much money that will be controlled. It is a signal. Bill is there Anything Else that is being discussed in the Trump Administration to punish the Sanctuary Cities . Any other denying of funds or Anything Else . We are looking at other possibilities that would be detrimental dash go bill can you give me an example, mr. Attorney general . I am not prepared to give that now. Bill oh, come on. The no spin zone. You are discussing other things that you will do or possibly do. In the future, we can put requirements right now, under the Obama Administration, they sent out grantor notices that required people to a search there in compliance with the laws and threats and cutting off of various funds if they didnt comply. Well continue to for precede
that and go further. Bill if you get into the transportation area, but it will be lawsuit after lawsuit. Theres limits on what you can do. Bill i want to ask you one question about the russian investigation, what you recused your cell phone. Is there a liaison in the Justice Department that is working with the fbi, actively working with the fbi right now . Yes. We do have persons within the Department Of Justice that work with the fbi every day and there are persons working on all the cases. Bill okay. You have contact. You will, of course, know what is coming back and forth. What i am recused on, i do not bill even a whisper in the hallway or anything . You wont get anything . [laughs] i do not. Bill finally, Loretta Lynch was your pier in the Obama Administration last year. Did you speak with her on the way out . She did things a lot differently
than you are doing them. That is for sure. We changed a few policies, no doubt. She is a very gracious lady. She wrote me the Nicest Letter when she left. I called her and we had a nice conversation about it. She had already left washington by the time i assumed the office. She is a special, wonderful lady. We had a great conversation. Bill final question for for you. The leakers in the various agencies, federal agencies, you guys zeroing in on them . Do you think you will have some indictments shortly . I expect well get to the bottom of some of this. This is not right. We have never seen this kind of leaking. We have never seen its almost as if people think they have a right to violate the law. This has got to end. Probably will take some convictions to put an end to it. Bill do you foresee a indictment shortly . I want predict that. I will take that very seriously. What is happening now is not
correct on my stop. Bill mr. Attorney general, we really appreciate it, anytime you want to stay something, i hope you come to us. Thank you very much. Thank you. Bill next on the rundown, as mentioned, judge jeanine pirro, outrage over the illegal alien court situation. There were hearings in controversy today, new controversy, Colonel Peters has some thoughts. Those reports after these messages. Allergies with Nasal Congestion . Find fast relief behind the counter with claritind.

Where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. Which makes me one smooth operator. Ah still a little tender. vo go national. Go like a pro. Bill Outrage Of The Week segment. Immigration court. Are you ready for this . In denver, courts wait times can drag on for more than five years. In texas, average wait time, almost three years. Currently come across the country, more than a half million Immigration Cases are pending. Here in new york city, judge jeanine pirro, you see her saturday and sunday nights at 8 00 p. M. Why are you outraged by that . Because what we are doing, we are in the system, it is set up, so, in the end, there is no way to get out of this hole. Right now, we have got an Immigration System, with the influx for example in 2014, an additional 160,000 immigrants who came in from central america. President obama put those at the head of the line, pushed everyone back, and the interesting thing is, the cases that were pushed back, they will get lost. Witnesses are going to be lost, there is going to be files that will be lost, people will essentially disappear because they know the system is not going to the curious thing, 161,000 that were pushed to the front of the line, 41,000 of the 67,000 resolved, had been sent back. Even matt 161,000 had not completely been resolved. It is just getting more and more and a hole. Bill there arent enough judges, first of all, right . Immigration judges. Right. Bill there is no urgency in the part of the system to
bring these people in and figure out whether they should be allowed to stay or have to be deported. But now there is an urgency. What we are seeing with the Trump Administration, the promise of Law And Order at the roles implemented now by the Department Of Justice, as the general just indicated, now, what we have our judges who are going through the detention centers. We know longer have the obama catch and release. We now have judges going to the detention centers, immediately making a determination as to deportation, and getting them out. They also understand, the immigrants understand, we are going to get caught, why pay a coyote a 10,000 bill about 60 . What about the people who dont show up . A lot of the people who come in here, migrants, Illegal Aliens cover whatever you want to call them, they are giving a desk ticket or something, you have to come back now. But they dont. They dont. Bill what happens to them . Nothing. Bill do they go on a computer, a i. C. E computer, a
system, a database . Do you remember last year, the Obama Administration accidentally removed the names of all of those who were wanted in the Immigration System . Bill idol or member that. I do. Bill that is why you are on the program. That is why you were the host and i am not afraid bill you are saying that there was a Giant Erasure of people who didnt show up . Of people within the system. These cases get lost, the files get lost, the people get lost, we dont have the resources. Right now, we need 520 judges and we have 301 immigration judges. We dont have enough judges, we dont have enough courts. All we can do now is stem the tide. We cannot deal with what is already here. They have been flowing all over the country. We dont even know who they are or where they have been flown to. Bill Anarchy Reigns and they are trying to stop the flow coming in and take care of it after that. But still, if you are an illegal alien, the odds are, you are going to stay. Unless you commit a heinous crime, you will stay. Unless you commit a heinous crime, you will stay. And with the Sanctuary Cities, unless we hurt them where it hurts, and the pocketbook, i really believe that that is the decision to withhold federal money, unless they agree bill more money than the Justice Department has. You would be surprised. That is lawenforcement money. If you are not safe, you are not going to be happy. Bill the judge. Directly ahead, if you watch the cable competition, you would think that the president would have been charged with a crime of the russian deal. More controversy. Vi we will tell you about it when we come back. Recommended by dentists. Biotene. For people who suffer from a dry mouth. Dont take eliquis if you have an Artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Im still going for my best. And for eliquis. Ask your doctor about eliquis. The Trump Administration by saying that his members of the Campaign Colluded with putin to undermine the election. It would surprise me if there was no coordination with his campaign. I dont want to believe that is true. At this point bill what facts . He doesnt say. And he wasnt even asked about it on that filthy channel. Today, there was a hearing in the senate and new information about who showed congressman devin nunes Classified Information on the white house grounds, joining us from washington, fox news strategic analyst, Lieutenant Colonel ralph peters. First of all, john robert sent this to me, and this is so crazy what is going on now. I say that because it is being used as propaganda rather than fact. Apparently cover the National Security council, they have an office in the white house, came across a number of instances where numbers of the trump campaign, including the president himself, showed up on
intelligence wiretaps, that is transcripts of the recorded secretly recorded conversations. Two white house guys called nunes, the head of the house intelligence committee, to the white house, to look at the stuff, to look at nunes said he had a shocking stuff, but he said it had didnt have a thing to do with russia, shocking, shocking brady dr. President trump about it. Okay, that is what happened. Is there a scandal here or something that you are saying is our Security Expert that i am not seeing . There is a sort of scandal in the fact that this wasnt the National Security council sourcing these documents. It was a couple of trump appointees assigned to the National Security council. This wasnt h. R. Mcmaster. He was clearly another attempt to divert attention from the main issue, which is the question of whether or not Vladimir Putins regime was able to penetrate the trump campaign
and potentially the administration . Bill will get that into a minute. Its important, if donald trump and some high member of his Transition Team are caught on wiretaps, as you know, i do suppose to be blanked out, now, they are on transcripts and the intel agencies. I think that is an important story, is it not . I think it is a b. S. Story and it is phony and no one will release those. I will tell you, unlike so many of the instant pundits out there, i actually work in the intelligence world for over two decades. We take great care not to include the names of u. S. Citizens unless they are under some sort of serious investigation. So, if those names were not blacked out in the transcripts, that tells me that these people were under serious investigation, perhaps the fbi investigation. As another red herring, it diverts attention from the primary issue. That is where congressman nunes, this week and last weekend
this week, he stepped on more banana peels and a caterpillar. Bill hes not handling it methodically, thats for sure. Dont we think there is a possibility i dont want to be like the other Cable Stations and rakes by speculation they are sick a political component inside of these agencies edge of the wiretapping, they dont like trump, they dont like his people, if they can put them in an embarrassing position and leak it to a newspaper, they might do it. Isnt that in play here . No. I think that is untrue. If people are able to tell who voted for trump, you would find that people in the intelligence agencies, the rank and file people, probably voted overwhelmingly for him because they despised hillary clinton. Political appointees of the top are another question. Our intelligence agencies, not case conspiracy theories. They are patriots who defend this country every single day, they dont spy on americans. Back to congressman nunes, all he had to do, when he took that call from the white house was to say, yes, ill come over and i need to bring my counterpart, the Ranking Member with me. Bill i told him that he shouldnt have gone to the white house, he should have gone to a neutral location. Is there anything in the russian investigation, which the senate delved into today, that has caught your eye . Again, it is all speculation at this point. We know the russians dented. But was there cooperation by anyone . We dont know. Anything that caught your eye . There are two crucial questions. Crucial to the security of our country in the sanctity of our elections. The first has been answered. Intelligence communities are unanimous based on hard evidence that extensive evidence that putin did interfere in our president ial campaign. The ques
