We owe bill oreilly and the Oreilly Factor a great thank you for the appearance on his show. Bill also, had come a terrific story, the tyler Talladega College marching band will perform at the inauguration thanks to the factor viewers. So thankful, so excited for our students. To bill caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. Factor begins right now. Bill hi, i am bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. The factor viewers come through again. That is a subject of this evenings talking points memo. As you may know, some vicious, hateful people are trying to sabotage the president ial inauguration set for this coming friday. There is no excuse for that. Peaceful transition of power should be respected by all loyal americans. In fact, the term, loyal opposition, is a badge of honor. We need it differing opinions driving vibrant society. When you take the word loyal out, then, it is simply a position, that is a subversion of the republic. Enter the Talladega College marching band, 230 strong. The tornadoes are a fabulous part of a very important alabama college. Talladega was founded by exslaves and some excellent africanamerican school, it creates opportunities for students, who may not have many resources. The talladega tornadoes were invited to perform at the inauguration. 99 of the band have never been to washington, d. C. Kids were thrilled. Then, came the threats. Directive of the College President , dr. Billy hawkins. He spoke to the factor on thursday. They have said that i have shamed the college by making this decision and i have had folks that say that i am a disgrace to my africanamerican race and it has been pretty nasty. Bill now, immediately after that interview, donated money from the factor viewers ported to gofundme. Com to help the talladega band. As it stands right now, the college has received ready close to a half Million Dollars for the band and for scholarships. That is simply amazing. We owe bill oreilly at the Oreilly Factor a great thank you for the appearance on the show. We are just so happy that theyll have the opportunity, as american citizens, to have the opportunity to march on pennsylvania avenue, to be a part of the civic ceremony. I am just excited for the students. The culture that we get to the more excited i become. Bill great story. Again, the factor viewers have donated so much money to help talladega, not only will the vendor to go to the inauguration, it will have its entire infrastructure updated and scholarships will be provided to help poor students. My foundation donating 25,000. The Bigger Picture is this. Much of that money donated was given by Trump Supporters, the deplorables that have been demonized as racists by some on the hateful far left. The story is vivid proof that generalizing, generalizing about any group of people and is foolish and dishonest. Dr. Hawkins knew what he was doing when he came on the factor. He could have gone on any program, but he chose us, because he knows this audience, you guys, are watching because you want fairness and justice. Almost Martin Luther king jr. Federal holiday, the Talladega College marching band ready to perform at the inauguration. The students will never forget that honor. The country should be grateful to have these kids in d. C. And for the factor audience has made it all possible. That is the memo. Top for the top story reaction, joining us from washington, Charles Krauthammer. This is a repudiation, i believe, of the race baiters, and it is a vivid repudiation of them. Do you disagree . No, i think youre absolutely right. I think you have done a really good deed. I think the College President has shown infinitely more spine than all of the Ivy League President s have collectively to the pressures they are under, political correctness. And, as you say, this is a celebration of this isnt a celebration of donald trump. This is a celebration of a solid transition through the central focal point of civic life. And these kids, who probably are not politically committed the way the people who try to pressure the school are, simply want to be able to say, and they will say, that their grandchildren, that i marched in and an end inaugural parade. It doesnt matter which one. To deny them that, the way i think you are correct in saying, the haters have done, is a big deal. And i am glad it is not going to happen. Now, last week, the fact that singers and actors had been pressured not to show up to the inauguration. I could not get terribly excited over that. But i can understand how the people who watch your show were terribly excited about denying these kids, for whom, as you say, 99 of never even been to washington. This is going to be the memory of their lives. Bill but this is all about, the reason that i was so happy, and we didnt solicit donations, by the way, you know, we didnt make it a focal point of the interview with dr. Hawkins. We said at the end, and ten seconds, the band need some money, gofundme. Com has got this thing. Omarosa manigault was on and she said it, not me. It was just a quick bang. Then, boom. But what i was so happy, i was happy that the doctor chose us, and he did choose us. And that shows these haters on the far left that what you are trying to put out there, that the Fox News Channel and the Oreilly Factor are a bunch of racists and they do it every day, you know they do it, charles. Just vicious stuff. This is so untrue. And the second thing, you hit it right on the head. This College President , he has taken every kind of heat you can take, vial threats, some want him removed from his position and the college, trying to get m removed. This man said, you know it is best, that the students have this experience. You want to come after me . Come on. I am not going to deny the students. That is courage. That is what Martin Luther king day should all be about. Go. That is what Higher Education should be about. One of the great tragedies is the collapse, the cowardice, of the leaders who are leading universities, caving in on these demands, caving into political correctness, punishing professors and others who speak up in a way that isnt exactly the way it is supposed to be, according to their liberal and here we have, a man who has had a college, many people havent heard of, stands up, as you say, to more devastating threats, and i think he is righ right. I also admire the fundraising capacity. I would like to put in addition on my house, maybe you can help me out with that. Bill [laughs] a few maple might kick you 30 or 0. 40. 0. 40. Nobodys feeling sorry for you, come on, now. It is just such a good story, this story, that is why i lead with her tonight, and the face of bad stories. The rest of our program, we are going to have to deal with the heat created and all of the crazy stuff that is going on. This is such a good story, a positive story for the country. It is also in contrast to the politicians, who are now going to boycott the inauguration. Bill the 31 democrats. Speak with us not what you want to do. You want to boycott . Book on the state of the union address. Take a political event and stay out. That is fine. But the inauguration is beyond party. Its a celebration of something, the most glorious moment of civic behavior and our culture. Bill you are absolutely right. What you got to do, if you want to personally stay home because he really cant stand the guy, fine. But all of these people are making ostentatious show boats announcements that they cant tolerate this. That is how you stay home dash bill dana perino has a very interesting take on what is happening and she is coming up after you.

Bill mpeg segment tonight, last night on 60 minutes, president obama talks, as usualn control, except when it came to syria. You may remember that in 2012, about a year before the cruel tyrant a saudi used poison gas on civilians, mr. Obama threaten him. Redline. You have to say that created and there have been reports that it wasnt in your speech. No, it wasnt. That you just sort of adlibbed it. Look. If you are putting all the weight on that particular phras phrase, then, in terms of how it was interpreted in washington, i think you make a legitimate point. I have got to tell you, though, i dont regret at all saying that if i saw assad using chemical weapons on his people, that that would change my assessments in terms of what we were or were not willing to do in terms of syria. But you didnt say that. You said, you drew the redline. Look. I dont want to make too big a deal out of this. Bill once again, Charles Krauthammer joins us from washington. The president had trouble with that question. The most important part of all of this is what happened after mr. Obama didnt do anything to assad, correct . It is not just what happened in syria. Where the russians came in and appeared to pull chestnuts out of a fire, this phony deal, where supposedly chemical weapons were all evacuated, they werent. Chemical weapons were used later in the war. Obama did nothing. Its not even just syria. When obama says it was missing, it was interpreted in washington, no, it was interpreted in beijing, and moscow, and tehran, by allies all over the world, with the United States president says the word redline, that has a meaning. Obama says it is a phrase, as if it was some kind of random phrase. It has a meaning and diplomacy. You cross, we act. They cross, he didnt act. As a result, you see all the aggressive actions around the world. People understood that this is fundamentally a week and feckless president who will not resist, hence, the south china sea. Hence, ukraine. Hence, crime the area. Crimea. Hence irans essentially taking over syria and lebanon, as well. Bill the worst barked on my part for me is, i said this at the time, this isnt monday morning quarterback and, as soon as assad drop that gas killing their babies and the children and all of that, the next day, the u. S. Air force should have just bombed his air force to smithereens. That is easy to do, as you know, they only have one big air base. We could have taken it out in an hour. Okay . That was it. We dont do ground troops, we dont need a big war occupation. Bang. You dont put another plane up there. But since the United States anything, russia, as you rightly said, came in, and ron kaman, and the slaughter began. And what did the slaughter lead to . Millions of migrants leaving the area, flooding the zone in europe. Terrorism on the march. Isis rising in power because of the chaos. All of these things came from president obamas failure to do anything. But i dont think the president would ever admit that. No, i dont think he has admitted that to himself at all. I mean, you look at the victory tour he has been at for the last, i dont know, two weeks or so, celebrating all of the great things his presidency has accomplished. His presidency is going to be remembered as a historical parenthesis. He is not willing to admit that, i kind of understand, he spent eight years of his life as president of the United States,o admit that your achievements are written on sand, but you look at obamacare, that is written on sand. He never got the buyin from the oppositional from the country. He never got cap and trade. He had to go through executive orders. They are all going to be canceled, theare going to be ca. He tried immigration was done microform, did not succeed. This was a failed presidency. I think the reason is the overreach. He also sort of overestimated himself. His supreme selfconfidence that you see even to this day and that a 60 minutes interview the other night, is what i think was the downfall. He thought, i know more about this than anybody else, i am smarter, i understand the middle east, and if i just say the words, redline and i go back on it, people are still going to respect me. And this belief that he has and what he calls the international community, which is a fiction, international norms, a fiction, he adhered to that. I mean, the model is, what is it, the moral arc of the universe tends towards justice. Something he got from Martin Luther king. The problem is that doesnt apply to the socalled community of nations. Bill no, it absolutely doesnt. There is a lesson here for donald trump. A big, big lesson. The president elect has a tendency to speak offthecuff, as obama did on the redline thing, and to say, whatever he wants to say on his mind. But if you say it as president , you better back it up, correct . That is where i think we are going into very, very stormy waters with obama. With donald trump. Obama understood what he was doing. He meant what he said. Then, he backed off. With term, he said so many things, many of them outrageous, just look at the interview he did today with the german and the british newspaper, talking about nato in authentic ways, talking about the eu, talking about obsolescence. Word he says has an impact. The problem is, he does so many of these things that are outrageous, never heard before, i think they cancel each other out. Bill so do i. But i am talking about big things. He is going to be tested and he is going to be tested quick, donald trump. Let me give you, talking about a big thing, taiwan. You dont screw around with the chinese in taiwan. Bill loved china. They have said the carrier, the chinese are saying that the carrier, the taiwan strait, if you are looking for one area where this could be his redline, he may be challenged, you should start worrying about that now. Bill the chinese are bored economically. They are going to see how far they can push them. Charles krauthammer, everybody.

That is what congressman john lewis from georgia is absolutely doing. I believe in forgiveness. I believe in trying to work with people. It is going to be hard, it is going to be very difficult. I dont see this president elect as a legitimate president. You do not consider him a legitimate president . Why is that . I think the russians participated in helping this man get elected. Bill now, is that helpful . Is it . No, it is not. We respect congressman lewis but he is divided the country. By the way, he did that in 2001, as well. He didnt attend george w. Bushs inauguration. Instead, mr. Bush wasnt at a legitimate president because of the recount. Dana perino, host of the five. 31 democrats including mr. Lewis are going to do boycott the inauguration. Good. I dont care about those people. There they are. All radical left is. You had an interesting observation about why they are doing it. If you look at all of these democrats, they are almost and very safe seats. They paid no political price for not going to the inauguration.
