[laughter] bill also ahead, americans love their snacks. But are they hurting us . Do you know how much sodium is in Something Like that . I dont know, i dont care. Im hungry. Bill caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor begins right now. Bill hi, im bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. Putin, trump, and the election. That is the subject of this evenings talking points memo. Today in washington, the Senate Armed ServicesCommittee Held hearings about russia allegedly subverting the president ialat election. Front and center was director of national intelligence, james clapper. The russians have a long history of interfering in elections, theirs and other peoples. But i dont think that we have ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process than we have seen in this case. E. Bill of course, it is all about hacking into the Democratic National committee and some of the democratic leaders. Talking points believes mr. Clapper, however, because there is no reason to doubt him. There is no reason to doubt the man. Now, there has been no definitive proof put forth that the russian leader, Vladimir Putin, did try to interfere with our votes. We have invested billions and we put peoples lives at risk to glean such information. And so if we were to fulsomely expose it in such a way that would be completely persuasive to everyone, then we could just kiss that off. Because we will lose it. Bill mr. Clapper saying hela cannot expose his sources or explain how he got the usa, how the usa got the information about the russian hacking. So this becomes a very complicated matter because some democrats are charging that the hack of democratic stalwarts like john podesta influenced the voting. Republicans say, nonsense, that the exposed emails simplypo pointed out political intrigue and press corruption. It is impossible to say if any votes were influenced by podestas rantings, but it seems farfetched to me. Despite the intel consensus, president elect trump is not accepting of the verdict against putin. Now, mr. Trump will be briefed tomorrow by intelligence leaders. And maybe that will change. But for you and me, americans who sincerely want Fair Elections and justice, theg hacking should be a serious matter. Again, talking points believes the russians were involved with the intent to create as much chaos as possible for america. And nothing happens in russia at that level unless putin approves. N but putin is not holding a smoking gun because u. S. Intelligence has to protect its sources of information. Coming up, the russians did it. Putin knew about it. And president elect trump has to decide if further action against russia is necessary. That is the memo. Now for the top story reaction, joining us from washington, morgan wright, a cybersecurity analyst. Lieutenant colonel ralph peters, strategic analyst at fox news. Am i making any mistakes, colonel . No, bill, we are on the same sheet of music overall on this. I think what is really important here is not to argue in a partisan manner. This was an attack upon the fundamental tool of our democracy, free elections. The response has to be bipartisan, not democrat, not republican, not about throwing the election one way or the other, but about an attack on our nation. Bill but some people dont believe it. Some people dont believe that putin and the russians did it, you heard assange tell sean hannity this week that that didnt happen. And there were some in congress who dont believe it. That is what muddies the waters. I believe it, you believe it, i think, mr. Wright, you believe it, correct . The world is not flat. U bill no, i got it. But when you have so much confusion, it is very hard to get a consensus or to get people mobilized. What do you say, mr. Wright . You know, bill, this isd. An ongoing discussion we have been having for a long time. And one of the big things that came out of this hearing, it is pretty clear, we are very bad on defense. We got a good offense, weve got the nsa, weve got a lot of the capability. But until we raise the price of an attack to where it becomes so high in time, logistics, money, expense on their part, bill, we will keep having the same conversations. There is no deterrent effect. That was very clear in the hearing today. Russia is doing it, china is doing it, but theyre not paying a high enough price. Until we raise the bar on that, you and i and ralph peters and i, we will keep having the same discussions. Bill what would you say, mr. Wright, to americans who are not convinced that russia and putin interfered and hacked into the election process . What would you say to them . You know, you are notle to ce everybody. But i think at this point, when the director, james clapper, said there is high confidence, the same things james comey said about north korea, we definitively proved north korea was involved in the sony hack, at some point, you have to trust the intelligence professionals. I think the problem, bill, a lot of this has become politicized. You politicize it to where it serves political objectives. Bill people are suspicious of clapper and comey and think they are trying to help the democrats, because the democratic mantra right now, colonel peters, is that this russian hack threw the election to trump. That is what you are hearinget from a lot of democrats. And republicans are furious about that. I dont want to hear about democrats and republicans. I want to hear about the United States of america. We were attacked, cynically and viciously. You know, bill, look at it in terms of costbenefit analysis, this was really cheap. It was a dirt cheap way for putin to wage war upon our system. Bill i made this point on my talk today to the billoreilly. Com premium people in the no spin news, why would putin want trump over clinton . The democrats are much less confrontational, colonel, thann the republicans are. Now you have mattis as secretary of defense. That cant make putin happy. It cant. Let me ask you and everyone a question. Why does donald trump continue to defend Vladimir Putin no matter what putin does . Bill i can answer that question let me answer the question. Bill you ask me but you want to answer it. Go. A look, Hillary Clinton was onh to putin. They didnt want her in. Now, whether or not it influenced the election, im not interested in that. What i am interested in are two questions. How are we going to respond, two, will the president elect finally wise up and realize that in fact, putin is not our friend, he is our enemy, he is bent upon doing as much damage as possible . Bill what trump wants to do is neutralize putin as an enemy. But we will find out tomorrow, because tomorrow, mr. Wright, the intel people come here to new york, they talk to trump face to face, they will tell him the evidence because itte is topsecret and all that. We cant see it. Certainly president elect trump will see it. So his reaction after that briefing will probably mean everything. But to answer the colonels question, trump wants to start on a neutral basis with putinr o try to deemphasize that tension. Now, im going to say one more thing. How bad is mr. Wright, you are an expert in this. How bad is our Defense System against hackers in china and russia and anywhere else . How bad is our Defense System right now . We are getting blown outen of the game 1000 right now. When you have the opm hacks, 22 million files, of which mine was one of them, colonel peters was one of them, there is no accountability for that. I understand we want to retaliate based on traditional espionage. But we could have prevented that through solid defense. There was a Standing Order from 2007 that said all data at rest must be encrypted. Bill, those systems were so old bill explain that to people, opm is what . The office of personnel management. De up until just recently, they s were responsible for processing and holding all of the applications for security clearances, which contained a lot of information of the chinese bill who hacked them . China. China did. Bill they got all the information, we didnt do anything, president obama didnt do anything to china. Was it proven beyond a reasonable doubt that china did it . Absolutely. Director clapper, the same way he talked about russia, it is n doubt that china did it. But, bill, we could have stop a lot of us with a modern infrastructure. Donald trump wants to spendn money on roads and bridges, a trillion dollars, we should take 100 billion of that and improve our aging i. T. Infrastructure. Everything is at risk now. This is a new type of warfare. We are not ready. Bill i think that is the crux of this whole story. We are not ready for this. And we got to get ready for it. Gentlemen, thank you very much. R next on the rundown, a split in the democratic party. Some want to give donald trump a chance. Others want to destroy him immediately. Well have a special report. And later, watters talks snacking with the folks. Do you know how many trans fats are in that thing . Eh, i dont really care. Bill those reports after these messages. Coaching means making tough choices. Jim youre in but when you have high Blood Pressure and need Cold Medicine that works fast, the choice is simple. Coricidin hbp is the only brand that gives powerful cold symptom relief without raising your Blood Pressure. Coricidin hbp. Hi hey ive made plans for later in case this date doesnt go well. Same here. Wouldnt it be great if everyone said what they meant . The citi double cash card does. Earn 1 cash back when you buy, and 1 as you pay. Double means double. Bill tonight, a split in the democratic party, some are setting themselves up as loyal opposition. I fought really hard for donald trump not to be president. But i think you got to sit and listen to what he says and hears what he has to say and read his plans. We owe it to the American People who voted for this man to become president to at least look at those. And if they are not what they want, then we fight like hell. Bill congressman ryan representing the moderate wing of his party. But the radical wing wants to destroy donald trump before he even gets into office. Yesterday, a fullpage t ad in the New York Times called the country a potential fascist state and urged resistance toti president elect trump. Some of those signing the ad, m michael shannon, debra messing. Ed asner, also, rosie odonnell. Joining us in new york city, two other men who signed the ad,in carl dix, Founding Member of the revolutionary communist party usa, and dr. Cornel west, professor at harvard university. Dr. West, ive known you a long time. Youre not willing to give trump a chance . You dont want to see him maybe for six months . See what he does . You are not willing to do that . Im just afraid of the danger and the damage that he has already talked about. When we talk about facism, we are not talking about an isolated individual as president. Were talking about a strong man, a narcissistic personality, tied to big business, tied to big military, possibility of war, and slices of big media, because we know money itselfel plays a fundamental role in corporate media, that allows him to often get away with not enough accountability. Bill all right, that is your point of view. En you are worried about it. Not my point of view. I think it is a matter of truth bill if it were true, he wouldnt have been elected. Theres a lot of people the populous will vote for a fascist. Hitler was elected. Why not give him a chance to see what he will do . For a few months, anyway. Why not do that . M people gave hitler a chance, and we saw what that meant for humanity. And with donald trump, look at what we are talking about. Muslim registry, wall on the border with mexico. Law and order, which is code word for unleashing harsher repression against black and latino people. Also, a disregard forpl dissent and civil liberties. I mean, people who burned the flag, which is a protected political speech, going to jail and s losing their citizenship. His opponent in the election being threatened with jail. Hi reporters who were critical of him having to hire security. This is not only a program thats fascist, but an approach that will suffocate the society to oppose those. Bill again, all of those things wait. You had a chance. You had a chance to stop it on election day. It didnt work out in your way. To me, i want everyone to be fair. Fair. I dont think you have any Historical Context to compare donald trump to hitler. I mean, hitler had a record from 1927 on of violence. So does donald trump. No, he has no record of violence. 19 what about the fullpage ad calling for the execution of the central park five that he did in 1990 . Five young men who were framed. Who they still think bill that is rhetoric. This man is not violent. You have to go on what happens, not on what is being said. Look, you are a communist, right . You are a communist. Yes, i am a representative of the revolutionary communist party. Bill right. I dont condemn you because you are a communist. I dont do that. I wait and see what you, mr. Dix, do. What do you do . Now, you are a philosopher. Stalin was a communist. What im doing right now is calling on people bill you are calling on people to do what . To come out into the streets, to manifest their anguish, fear, and outrage. Speed on what are they going to do on the streets what you want them to do . Protest. Nonviolent disobedience. Bill with signs and stuff . Ob Church Congregations can do vigils with candles. Bill thats what you both want . You want a mass display . We want a moral, spiritual awakening that focuses on poor and working people, on women, mexicans, nonmuslims, those who have been alienated by trump undocumented immigrants, we will defend them. We will defend the women when it comes to closing down we will defend ll bill if your version does not materialize, which i dont think it is going to. We will see if it materializes. Bill if it doesnt, what is the next step . We continue to struggle. Bill to struggle for what . For truth and justice. Bill you come on programs like this, and you give your opinion. Thats fine. Is there any other there are people suffering, working people are suffering, poor people are suffering, women are suffering, black people are suffering bill trump promised more jobs. He already betrayed working people by bringing in wall street. Bill that is just rhetoric. A promise of jobs that has not materialized yet. Bill he is not president yet. A promise of jobs does not excuse embracing a block muslim registry. Bill lets see that muslim registry. Oh, stop. Bringing up a lynch mob atmosphere. He said, we should lay outsp these protesters. Bill i think you are both being unfair. You got to see what he does in office. What he does he has already talked about it. Bill eight doesnt matter what he said, what he does. You do history, bill. What about germany . What about his personality . Bill dont give me germany. I give you just as many in the soviet union. That is not correct. We dont need to get into i gotta get out of here. Bill you guys arent beingg fair. Lets talk about the reality. And the reality is bill you arent being fair. Watche you you got to and see what he does. Well see. And you dont when we return, three months from now, rights and liberties curtailed, well see. Bill directly ahead, one of the worst crimes we have ever seen. Mentally challenged individual tortured. The inside story on that. Later, Republican HousePanel Proposes cutting off all funding for planned parenthood, partially because of the selling baby parts situation. The factor is coming right back. E once only in doctors offices. For deep penetrating relief at the source. Aleve direct therapy. I think we could finally get youra bigger place. Yeah, let me check my score too. Try credit karma. Its free. Credit karma. Give yourself some credit. Bill very disturbing situation of chicago, a warning here. Police have charged four young people, two men, two women, with torturing a mentally challenged individual. Also, the four will face hate crime charges. At one point, the victim is held at knife point and told to curse president elect donald trump. The men can be heard saying theu want this to go viral. Another video shows the group forcing the victim to drink water from a toilet. Throughout these videos, the victim is kicked, hit, and cut. E bill with us now, our truth serum correspondent here in new york. Shannon bream in washington. Give us the timeline on this story. How did it develop and how did it end . D it started on new years eve, apparently, the victims parents took him to meet the main guy, jordan hill, the main suspect, at a mcdonalds. They were going to spend timege together for new years eve. Apparently gone to school today, and police say they were acquaintances, they didnt hang out a lot. They did spend some time together. Id jordan hill then takes this kid in a van that is stolen, the kid apparently doesnt know that itl is stolen, they spent a couple of days, riding around, sleeping in the van, seeing people. It took a really bad turn when they decided to go visit some friends on the west side of chicago. R there were these two sisters, another guy there. Ch so now two guys, two girls. At one point, they are play fighting. It escalates. Police said that they think that these people who were involved here were possibly smoking marijuana, looks like they may have been in the video. But it really escalates and gets violent. It winds up with his kid who has some type of special needs, some mental challenge, being tied up, in a corner. They are facebooking this, the video is out there. They are tauntingnt him, you hed about the things that they are forcing him to do, the things they are saying to him. They are beating him, they arefo cutting him at one point. He is bleeding. What happens is, somebody down stairs hears this and goes up and says, if you guys dont knock off all the noise, im calling the police. Well, the two girls got, so incensed by that, they ran downstairs, they kicked in thatc neighbors door. The Police Showed up, and that gave that kid a chance to run off. So he is then discovered on the side of the road, his parents had reported him missing, not initially because they thought he was going to spend the night with his kid, after a couple of days, they did. Then a Police Officer sees him, beaten up, walking aroundrs in short
