On the question of whether ivanka will join her dads administration. Tonight, president elect trump continues his thank you tour. Well have highlights for you later in the show. But first, sore loser democrats continue to push the idea that russia helped the republicans win the election. Thats tonights open monologue. Liberals keep playing up the narrative that russia has hacked and helped donald trump with his electoral victory over Hillary Clinton despite conflicting views on the issue of intelligence from the cia and the fbi. Now the left wing is running wild with reports saying that the cia without concrete or new evidence, they think now that Russian Hackers influenced the election all in favor of donald trump. Thats a conspiracy. Now democrats and the abusively biassed altleft Mainstream Media is pushing the cias assessment as an undeniable fact. You need to know the truth. It is not. The fbi has reached a much different conclusion than the cia because they have not found conclusive evidence that russia was trying to assist donald trump in any way. Reuters is reporting that americas top spy agency, the office of the director of the National Intelligence is not embracing the cias conclusions either. Why . Theres a lack of evidence. Instead of accepting the facts on all of this and telling you the American People the truth, the left, led by president obama, continue to repeat false hoods. Motive . To delegitimize president elect donald trump. Now for president obama hes does a flipflop on the potential of the election in america being interfered with. You may remember back in october, this is president obama mocking donald trump for raising concerns about fairness in an election. Watch this. The larger point that i want to emphasize here is that there is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even you could even rig americas elections. And so id advise mr. Trump to stop whining and go make a case to get votes. Whos whining now. So only after donald trump won, well now president obama saying that yes, outside forces could have influenced the election. Take a look at the hypocrisy from the president. This was on the daily show last night. Russia trying to influence or elections dates back to the soviet union. What they did here, hacking some emails and releasing them is not a particularly fancy brand of espionage or propaganda. We were, frankly, more concerned in the runup to the election to the possibility of vote tampering which we did not see evidence of and were confident that we could guard against. Remember last week i said they were not your friends. Obama is not Donald Trumps friend. In the same entire view president obama took the it further by alleging that president elect trump has direct ties to russia. Lets take a look. You had what was very clear relationships between members of the president elects Campaign Team and russians. And a professed shared view on a bunch of issues. Now when it comes to working with the russians, president obama clearly has a pretty short memory. You may remember when he was caught on a hot mike saying this to the Prime Minister dimitri med da va back in 2012. After my election i have [ inaudible ] as long as were talking about the issue of interfering in elections, the Obama Administration know a lot about that too. Remember the congressional investigation they found back in 2014 an israeli Political Group used 300,000 obama grant to try to defeat benjamin netanyahu. President obama pretends to be outraged over the hacking and outrage, hes done next to nothing on cybersecurity in the entire eight years hes been president. Since 2012 hackers have attacked nasa, the department of energy, the fec commission networks, the u. S. Postal service, the National Oceanic and atmospheric administration, theyve hacked the white house, the state department, the department of defense, the irs and the office of personal management. Now the whole election cycle was all about Hillary Clintons emails, wikileaks. So where was the hacking outrage before she lost . Now on this show we have been warning that something needs to be done, which is why ive been saying and criticized often when saying that we need to learn from julian asage and wikileaks and actually try to fix the problem. He hacked into nasa and the department of defense before he was 16 years old. Heres the truth that youve got to remember. The president doesnt care about hacking. All he cares about after eight years of doing nothing is to undermine delegitimize Donald Trumps presidency. If they cared about hacking, weve known this has been going on. They dont care about hacking. This is about politics. Do you agree or disagree . Totally agree. If hillary had won the election, we would never hear anything about this again. They would move on to the cause of the moment of the day. Remember when we learned that the chinese has hacked into 50 million u. S. Personnel files, including mine and i know that because i got a notice from the u. S. Government saying that they would give me, i think, a year of some type of Identity TheftProtection Service because they had my background check probably yours too. They had a copy of my background check for when i was a white house employee or Supreme Court clerk. One of the two. I dont remember president obama taking china to task. They have all of our siblings, all of the places where we ever lived of 50 million Government Employees n employees. Thats china. So youre exactly right. Youre right on the money on this. This is all about sour grapes and trying to delegitimize the Trump Victory and also i think try to subtract from any mandate that he believes he has to reform the government. They never change their ideas about policies. They just move their lines of attack, which is what theyre doing right now. Its funny because obama did go on 60 minutes and exonerate Hillary Clinton other the emails scandal. Its no dbig deal. Now weve learned that five agencies were able to get top secret information. So he was wrong there. Nor did he seem to care. So ive got to believe that all of this is politics. Heres my next question. First they tried the recount. That didnt work out for them. Now theyre trying the hacking. But behind the scenes it seems that obama and clinton surrogates have their fingerprints all over the Electoral College effort to try to get them to switch their votes. To you take that as real . I dont think well know until the vote is cast. The push to get all of the trump electors to watch the or to get some type of intelligence briefing, thats really rich. Why shouldnt the clinton electors get a briefing as to all of the things that you described in your monologue, the breaches in the system, the lack of transparency, the misrepresentation. They should get that briefing. If the trump people are going to get another type of briefing, lets make it fair. Is this going to change the outcome . I doubt it. A lot is about feeding the beast of the activist groups that are ancy and angry on the left. They feel like they put it all on the line for clinton. They were suspicious of mrs. Clinton for her ties. And now theyre mad. They need something to believe in. They need something to hold on to. I think this is much about getting email addresses and raises money for the next electoral push as it is about anything else. Let me ask you this. Every bit of information that were hearing we all knew before the election. Theres nothing new here. Now the director of National Intelligence clapper, the fbi director and the fbi itself, theyve come to very different conclusions about this. Theres nothing new here so then that raises questions, why is the media and why is Hillary Clinton who warned that donald trump cant do this, this has never happened, you cant challenge an election like this, thats not how our system works, how does she justify being a part of all of these efforts . I think its rich for Hillary Clinton to tell us thats not how the system works when thats the way she ran the state department, the use of consultants who are also on the government payroll. All of that shouldnt have been done. So whether donald trump decides, i guess, not to pursue an investigation into the Clinton Foundation or not, we now whats happening. Thats not his call. Wouldnt that be the attorney general and justice departments call . I think it would be. But whatever signal trump gives is going to have some influence. If youre going to run across the board to all people regardless of what their last name was or where they came from. And if there was real potential for criminality, probable cause for criminality, you have to take this seriously. The obama has a history of manipulating for gain. But didnt the cia write or rewrite the talking points as it all related to benghazi for having never spoken to anybody on the ground, they manufactured it . And im not criticizing our Intelligence Agency but there are some political agents there that would have us believe this was a spontaneous attack where people had rpgs and mortars in their back pocket and spontaneously pulled them out and attacked the agency, which never happened. There was politicized intelligence put out to the American Public for a variety of reasons. There are such noble heroic efforts on the part of our intelligence agencies. So many good men and women putting their lives on the line. We dont want to cast aspersions on them. But some anonymous source leaks it out of the cia, i think thats ridiculous. Were going to take a break. More with laura after this quick break. Coming up, president elect trump holds another thank you rally in the state of wisconsin. Donald trump announced this morning that hes selecting exxonmobil Ceo Rex Tillerson to be his secretary of state. Well get reaction from lou dobbs.

So president elect donald trump continues reaching out to his supporters on his thank you tour. Here are some of the highlights. Thank you, everybody. So when i started 18 months ago, i told my first crowd in wisconsin that were going to come back here some day and we are going to say Merry Christmas again. Merry christmas. SoMerry Christmas. Happy new year. But Merry Christmas. Speaker paul ryan, wheres the speaker. Where is he. He has been i tell you, he has been terrific. And you know, honestly, hes like a fine wine. Every day goes by i get to appreciate his genius more and more. Now if he ever goes against me im not going to say that, okay . Hes a great guy and we have some Amazing Things in store. And were going to work on taxes, were going to work on obamacare and hes going to lead the way. So thank you. Were going to work on the wall, paul. You think were playing games. Somebody said the other day, well now that trump won hes really not going to build the wall. Were going to build the wall, okay . Believe me. Were going to build the wall. Have to. Have to stop the drugs from coming in. Wall is going to be a big big factor. Today i announced my plans to nominate Rex Tillerson, right. The chief executive officer and chairman of exxonmobil to be the next secretary of state. Rex is one of the greatest and most zild Global Business leaders of our time. Made some of the greatest deals ever made in the oil industry or any industry. A great diplomat, a strong man, a tough man, a man whos already earned an avalanche of endorsements and growing praise from our nations top leaders. And we continue with Laura Ingraham with more on this. I love the idea, if you ask people to do something and they do it, i love the idea of saying thank you. But more importantly i firmly believe that what we see happening now is only the start. And i do believe everything will be done to politically troy him by the left. This is nothing compared to whats coming, in my opinion. And for him to bypass the media and go directly to people and make this a signature of his presidency would be very wise for him to continue. Hes his own press secretary. Hes doing in such a, i think, a really smart, a brilliant strategy. Going right to the people and going around the stereotype that the left has tried to paint him now with over a year half, which is hes just a billionaire, hes just saying these things, he doesnt mean them. Hes all about celebrity. No. Hes with the people. And what hes reminding folks of is how politics and identity politics, sean, what youve talked about for years, the politically correct nonsense thats invaded us, he wants to wipe that away and do things that actually make the lives of everyday americans, people that we grew up, like we grew up, their lives better. And that will drive the left crazy, sean, because he goes into their territory and he tells people, normally democrats, it doesnt have to be this way. Just try it with us for awhile. See what we do for you life to make it better and we want you to be part of this new american experime experime experiment. Im beginning to see the opposition build with the republicans. Not the fbi, not the director of intelligence. Thats troublesome but its almost like they want to be liked by the establishment but they have in many ways the establishment. Will that be a problem dealing with mcconnell, dealing with ryan. Will they pass the more controversial aspects of the promises that he ran on . I think youre exactly right to raise this issue early on. Donald trump has a very short window to get a lot done. And i think not only with the establishment entrenched interest on the left be at his throat, but youre right about mcconnell and ryan. Not that they wont work with him on a lot of things. I think they will. But on issues on trade sean, keep your eye on who the pick is for the u. S. Trade representative. Thats the individual who will actually litigate cases for us and run the strategy in the International Tribunal and actually negotiate trade deals. We havent seen that pick yet. Thats going to be important. Dan a da me ko who is fabulous, bob light heiser, deputy in the reagan administration, incredibly brilliant. Two really smart picks. There are others out there who raise eyebrows among us who believe we could have a more economic pob lows approach. I think ryan and mcconnell are going to be pushing the more globalist agenda. Laura ingraham, thank you very much. When we come back, president elect donald trump picks exxonmobil Rex Tillerson to be his secretary of state. Later tonight, reverend scott and jim brown met with president elect trump. Theyll be in the studio. Also tonight, Ainsley Earhardt is here to talk about ivanka trump and will see work for her dad in washington. Straight ahead. This artoo unit must be delivered to the rebellion. Come on artoo artoo welcome to the rebellion. This is for you. Duracell and Childrens Miracle Network hospitals are powering imaginations everywhere. Welcome back to hannity. After weeks of rumors, reports and speculation, president elect donald trump made a decision on secretary of state by officially nominating exxonmobil chairman Ceo Rex Tillerson to be americas next top diplomat. The president elect took to twitter writing, quote, i have chosen one of the great Business Leaders of the world, Rex Tillerson to be the secretary of state. Somebody who knows everybody in business so well, our good friend lou dobbs. How are you . Great to be with you. What can you tell us about him . The only comment negative that i saw was from tony perkins. It was about social issues and hes not going to be involved in social issues. Thats not his responsibility. And i know a lot of people have got some negatives. They talk about the fact that he supported tpp. You can go against a list of things. But youve said the important thing, he is to be the secretary of state. Hes not responsible for social issues. Hes not going to have a box of wedge issues that hes going to retreat to. I think and i dont know this, but i assume that the president elect chose him because he has handled massive deals, he works with governments, other large corporations. And do
