communists. that led to a black list where people were not hired because mccarthy smeared them. it seems anti-trump zealots may be doing the sameup thing. if you are a trump supporter, n.u are a bad person. a number of entertainers believe their careers will be harmed should they associate with the new trump administration. again, that is terrible, an awful state of affairs. talking points believes enough is enough with the s anti-trump movement. the man won the election, give him a chance. respect the process! stop the nonsense. that is the memo. now, the top story tonight, reaction, joining us fromr. washington, the new year s guy, charles krauthammer. charles, a series of very short questions for you. first of all, do you believe that some, maybe many entertainers, are frightened to go to washington because they think their careers may be harmed? i have no idea.in thus far, you have presented no evidence to that effect. bill: well, thus far, there
himself. you are right, the left bill: if we re going to run down all the hypocrisy here is my argument with lisa. i think you have to realize when bill clinton said it, he didnt say again and again and again. oh, please. oh, my gosh. juan, get out of here. hold on. i think america is a great country right now. look at the stock market, gas prices, the unemployment, the opportunities for blacks, latinos, immigrants, women, lisa, more than ever in our history. b bill: all right, this lady wait, wait. this lady from npr said the sound bite on cbs. basically saying, look, america is a racist nation. yes, we may have made some improvements, as you just pointed out. if you say, make america great again, anything that happened in america, anything, defeating the axis powers, japan, you can t say that was great because people of color were getting hammered.
that just came out. go ahead. yeah, no, that is absolutely true. the point is, donald trump cuts beyond all of this. you may have noticed, he does not wrap himself in the term conservative. donald trump is about winning. he is about pragmatism. he is about results.be and all of this is going to matter how many peoplesay i am t means, however many people say i i m conservative, moderate. what is going to matter is if trump convinces americans of the country is moving in the right direction. bill: that is all economics. you have to see that his appointments, cabinet appointments, have been conservative, and he will appoint a conservative supreme court justice nominee. so absolutely.v bill: he doesn t describe himself that way, all of his actions are tailored to the right.t. now, i want you to tell everybody why they should buy your book, american miracle. what is the miracle? the miracle is the mere existence of this country and
i m hopeful that he is able to bring people together in the end. hopefully, he gets impeached. but the democrats don t have the house. um. [crickets chirping] we have to support our president whether or not we voted for him.m. what do you think is going to happen to bill o reilly in 2017? let s all hope bill is okay. have you read any bill o reilly s books? killing lincoln, i read part of it. what happens at the end? well, i didn t read the end. anything you want to tell bill o reilly for the new year? who is bill o reilly? bill o reilly. exactly. check, please. bill: watters, the lady predicted the mariah carey meltdown. what, eight hours before the fact? pretty much. bill: were you there, did you see mariah? no, i was home at that point. i was off at 10:00.
you are talking about going back to a time that was not very comfortable for people of color. bill: joining us now from washington, juan williams and lisa boothe. i don t think their racism play juan, will ever stop. what you think? i think you are right. i think you are right on target. to me, it is almost like, why ak i arguing here about make america great again ? this is small potatoes. it s like evidence of sort of liberal or left-wing oversensitivity to my mind. but if you want to make the case, i guess you could say trump has a history, you know, discrimination in the housing that he built, saying blacks are responsible for most of the white murders in theti country, crazy stuff. but again, to me, it is just evidence of people bill: i m more interested in the supporters. look, what do you think, juan, the phrase make america great again refers to? what? well, i think, what struck me when i first heard it, makeic america great again, but i guess he is talking about
