United Airlines Taking a Public Relations beating over dragging a man off a plane. Tonight theres new information about this stunning case. Caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor begins right now. Im bill oreilly. Crimes against humanity. That is the subject of this talking points memo. It falls to america. To us to stop war crimes atrocities. Other country will not do that. Including china and russia. Its left to we the people and our elected representatives to decide who were going to save to gutwrenching decision. Millions of people have been murdereder all over the world. President trump missile attack on syria sent a new message to the world that the u. S. A. Is going to hold war criminals accountable. The previous president , barackle obama, would not do that. Instead using negotiations which failed. Weve eliminated syria declare chemical weapons program. Those are the result of diplomacy. Sustainedd diplomatic efforts no matter how frustrating or difficult they sometime appear will be required in the middle east. From yemen to syria to israel and palestinian. Bill syria did not eliminate itss chemical weapons program. Casting grave doubt whether iran will obey what obama made. Assad is a war criminal. He is. There are many other countries around the world in the same awful category. According to human right watch. North korea dictator allows Human Rights Violations including murder, rape, forced abortion on and on. Roughly 18 millionn people in north korea do not get enough food accordingng to unite u. N. Thatson not enough to attack te country. There is some sense responsibilities on thes part of a north Korean People themselves. Sometimes you have to fight for your life and right. United statesht cannot declare n north korea despite the atrocities. If the dictator continues to violate International Weapons laws, targeted military action can be taken with justification. Theres isis. Which j routinely rapes and kidnaps women, sells them to slavery, slaughtersnt christians and kills. Isis under attack by a coalition of nations headed by us. Theres no excuse for not wiping isis off the face of the earth. Lesser group boko hiram kills children, reuters now reporting that group may have murdered 15,000 people over the years. Its a muslim extremist group. It uses female and child suicide bombers, at least 44 children were killed in suicide attacks in 2015 alone. The world has not yet united against boko hiram. You can see that President Trump the leader of the free world, has his hands full. Eight years president obama expressed crimes against humanities. But theim problem is getting worse. Worldwide. Now its up to President Trump to see if he can control it. Thats a memo. Now top story. Join us from washington is peters. Am i making my administrations here . Youre on the right frac, bill track. Washington pundits sat up a false choice between pragmaticia politic and humanitarianism. Its not a clear cut. Were facing any individual talent have to find the right balance. We cannot be the worlds policeman. We have to be the world referee. Calling the fouls and imposing penalties when necessary. Nobody else can do it. Bill nobody else will do it. China can do it. Russia can do it. They have enough mil military mt to deal with war criminals like assad. They wont. They are the war criminals. You have to follow a couple of basic rules. One come conflict at a time. Im for concentrating on the issues of weapons of mass destruction syria. See where that goes. If we can make examples of assad, if there are penalties that reverbuates the other tyrants. Bill im not sewer about im not sureia about that. It looks to me that, i think the pentagon believes that too. General mattis had a press conference today. Were moving military asset into the north korean peninsula. It looks like this un, the leader, he maybe sane. Im not saying that with any hyperbole. He might be crazy enough to ignite a war. What happens . We shall see. Whether or not kim jon his generals will not tell it. Bill thats insane. He cants think he can stand up against the United States. There was a very little notice thing pip noticed it. Im proud that i noticed it. China sent back some north korea ships loaded with coal. China said were not going to buy this coal from you. Get out of here. Thats an important step if china initiates an economic embargo against north korea. There arent going to have any food when people starving, theyll turn againstar the military. Thats how it happens. Lets take boko hiram. Theres in tv cameras where these guys are. Why hasnt nato, western powers, united and gon into nigeria in aa multitask force to destroy this group that are killing so many children . Because theyre black. Lighterse the skin the more apte are to engage bill you think its a racial thing beyond that though, there are real problems. Nigeria has spent money on Foreign Forces except it was all stolen. Nigeria is most populace country in africa. Theyrey not doing their part. Bill granted. Its a war crime situation where children are being brutalized by this crew. They can knock this crew out quickly. Y. Yety, they dont. We have to divide these kind of conflicts. These war crime conflicts. Big one, the one u. S. Has to take the principle roles with allies behind it. Such as in syria. Isis were doing it right. Were not doing most of the fighting. Were having the locals on the ground do the slaughter house fighting. Were providing support, air power, artillery. Thats the smart way to do it. I think the way were acting now in iraq is syria is immoral. Make the locals shed the blood. Bill youre in supportive of thehe trump doctrine with the wy its going now. Its a world full of horror. We have to do it all the United States almost has to do all. I understand your frustration. We cannot dost it all. We have to be selective. We have to do it smart. Today when i listened to the press conference with secretary of defense jim mattis, he was inspiring, they were calm and confident men. I think we got a lot of damage to undo from the obama years. I think we can do it. Bill thank you very much. Next on the run down, how the antitrump press is treating the commander in chief now hee used u. S. Military power. Later united Airlines Taking a pounding on the force of Airline Passenger who had a valid tick. Lawsuits will be flying here. Bill how the antitrump media is analyzing the Syrian Military action. Join uss from miami is bernie goldberg. I havent seen anything. We used a clip last night where refugee in syria was talking about how he loves trump. On one of the 1 antitrump network. They played down the line reported whatt happened without snarkiness. Even more than that. Even donald trump usual critics got air time. What its worth, i support what he did in syria. Its important, i think to point out that if you question what he did and if you point out the inconsistencies of what he did, that is not trump bashing despite what his fans this. Thats called legitimate journalism. Bill its hard to criticize a president , wherever the president maybe, if theyre trying to stop babies from being gassed. Thats a pretty tough we had the libertarians on its impossible. Bill libertarians, their philosophy is, we dont intervene anywhere. Theyve been with us since 76. The other question though, if you going to criticize a president for what he said when he was a private citizen, thats not a valid criticism. Things change when youre the commander in chief. Its a lot easier to say this is my opinion. Then when youre in a position and elected position where you have all kinds of intel and all kinds of things that you dont have as a private citizen, things change. Not buying it. Let me tray to convince you. I wont. The difference between citizen trump and President Trump was enormous. In 2013 when Bashar Alassad launched a first major poison gas attack on his own people, donald trump was repeatedly against any action against syria. Thats when barack obama was president. What changed . It was a crime against humanity in 2013. It was a crime against humanity a week or so ago. Bill let me reply to that analysis. From my reading of the tweets, youre basing that on your tweet stuff . Yes. Bill its a tweet thing. Its not paper. Central point, we messed up iraq. We shouldnt have gotten in there. Sadaam was a war criminal. We removed him. That was the essential philosophy here toward his view of syria. But now what changed . Bill heres what changed. Now he has power to save the baby. Come on bill. Bill you think deeper aboutt it. When you have the power to stop an atrocity as opposed when you dont. Let me make clear. I am glad he was moved by those images and did what he did. I am thrilled that he did what he did. Heres legitimate commentary also. , not trump bashing. This is an impulsive man. Thats why he tweet the way he does. Thats why he responds to criticism the way he does. Now hes president. Not citizen trump. He watches television and he sees images, he wants to do something about it. Im thrilled he did. But acting impulsively is not a substitute for well thought out Foreign Policy. You done know what that Foreign Policy b here. Bill iit think youre bit unfair. It is clear donald trump coniferred with military people. They weighed in with their opinion that we can do x and y and this is likely to happen if we do. Thats i not impulse. Thats policy. Bill. Hes sitting at home with his twitter account in 2013 wait a second, in 2013, he sees this horrible crime against humanity. Poison gas against civilians. Bill got that. Instead of saying to barack obama you need to stop it, he doesnt do that. Fine with me. When hes president , he feels he needs to stop it. Come on bill. Bill you got a personal responsibility to stop it. Theres no law he has to be consistent. Theres no law that said he cant change his mind. It is night and day between the old donald trump and the new donald trump. Not much change in between. Bill the criticism i dont think its valid from a private citizen to a commander in chief. When youre p a person who can stop war crimes, you can do it. You can stop it. Whole different ball game than somebody when youre a privacy citizen, you can recommend that the person who does have power stop it. He didnt do that. Bill bernie goldberg. Horrifying story in idaho involving child refugees attacking a 5yearold girl. This is very disturbing. Why Airline Travel so difficult in this very rich country . Bill very disturbing story viewer warning. You might notst want to see this in in utah two refugee boys an african country andro one boy fm iraq have been charged with sexual assaulting 5yearold in twin falls. The boys ages 14, 10 and 7. Pleading guilty. They had been inn the u. S. A. For less than two years. It was kept secret by the court. This is obviously very troubling. It does not have anything to do with the general policy of resettling refugees in this country. Anyonege condemning an entire group because of a crime committed by children is being desperately unfair. The story made huge headlines in utah. Its not been covered nationally of that very reason. The press wanting to protect the refugee community. Joining us now is juan williams. I set this up fairly. We understand this can be used as a battering ram against the entire refugee population in america. That would be horribly wrong. The question then becomes, can you report the story on a national basis. Which has not been reported. Inas a responsible way . I think its clear to everybody its disturbing. The question becomes then, once you move beyond the local news value as you say, the folks out in idaho played this big. Then it becomes a matter of news value. To me if i was the editor of a big newspaper, National Newspaper, would n i think that illustrates something larger that would speak the people all over the country . As you said, it is unfair and wrong to suggest that the academics actions of these or action of folks in maryland where that rape occurred, somehow tell us something about the larger refugee issue. Bill would you cover it . I would cover it if it was in my community. Bill would you cover it lisa . Yes, i would cover it. I think theres broader conversations about both immigration and refugees in the country. More broadly. I think the media tends to side with the left on issues of immigration and refugee population. Just look at the way that theyve covered the Trump Administration. You look at just with the roundups or the deportations that President Trump enforced. All the stories, the headlines breaking up of families. Where were the headlines under president obama. Look at the issue of refugees as well. Look at the headlines of these sensationalizing what President Trump looking to do. Were talking about three or four months from countries that are either safe bill all three of know theres a political component. How do you cover the story if youre an editor of a National Newspaper or Cable News Program that goes everywhere . How do you cover the story . I think local stories that have a broader National Bill whats the angle. You got to give me an angle. They dong cover it all the time. I think the angle is weve been talking a lot as a country in the president has been focused or heightened focus on some of these issues. Thats the focus. Its talking about refugee population. Weree looking across bill its got to be sharply focused story. Juan wouldnt cover it. I will tell how i would cover it if i was a national editor. The i story i want to know these things. Supervision of these children accused im with you. Thatsha legit. Judge that bill thats a national story. Here will have these refugees. Theyre here less than two years. Whos supervising them. Where are they living . Why did they do this . What is the reaction from the people in charge of them. Leave the victim alone. The idaho judge and courts did a magnificent job protecting this little girl. Supervision of these children from cultures way away from our culture, what ises happening to them . Were they in this position to abuse this little girl . Thatss a big story, juan. These are valid stories. Im all with you up to this point. The reality is that the courts are also protecting the identities of the people. Bill they should. Of both the victim and the perpertrators of the crime. Theyre so under age. In youre asking me, i would say, bill oreilly got it bill i gave a legitimate angle. When you just heard from lisa, lisa politicized it and went immediately to President Trump. I dont think thats the issue here. I disagree with both of you. I think there are clearly issues with individuals coming to this country and other western countries that treat women very differently. Were seeing sexual assaults happen across the world with refugee population. Norway teaching refugees not to rape women. If you have individuals coming from countries that have issues with the treatment of women. Thatss is a legitimate story. These are children. It doesntn matter. Remember that situation in germany where you had the man bill the aspect of the story is valid. Even though they are children. Thats why i want to know whos supervising them. They have attackers of a 5yearold. Bill got to go. The factor, well update on the susan rice investigation which has been quiet. United airline craziness. Law and order team has been investigating. Hope to stay tune for those reports. A win for republicans in kansas. Republican winning the open senate seat. Special election was held to fill the seat vacated by senator mike pompeo who stepped down. Republicans have controlled both senate seats since the 1930s. Tensions rising tonight between u. S. And north korea. State media responding with a threat of a Nuclear Strike if provoked. The warning comes after the u. S. Redirected a Navy Strike Group including Aircraft Carrier toward the korean peninsula. President trump telling this morning on twitter the president issued a challenge to china about north korea. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson is now in moscow. This is first visit to the nation since taking his post in the first by a cabinet member in the Trump Administration to visit russia. Tillerson is expected to urge Vladimir Putin to drop support for Bashar Alassad. Now back to the oreilly factor. Bill what is status of the susan rice investigation . Last week headlines made by the former National Security advisor to president obama when it was discovered she was involved in n. S. A. Wiretaps surveillance. She looked at the dispatches and unmasked some of the americans involved. Which is not usually done. Malia zimmerman and adam housley have been working the i story. They joinn us now from los angeles. Housley, where does the investigation as far as congress is concerned, stand right now . Members of the Intelligence Committee say the investigation is expanding now. Theysa looking into allegations where other americans, including politicians unmasked and have their information collected. Similar what they did with the trump team. Theyre not going ton record. They have easter break. Meantime, weveo been told the senate is looking at doing the same thing. They both tell me, members of both committees that the information they continue to requestt from intelligence agencies now for over a month has been very little given. The fbi has been very difficult. Were told they want to know aboutt the unmasking, how frequent was it. Who was doing it. Basically one said to me, theyll havee to turn everything over. This investigation is full blown. Bill do we know if the fbi comey was dancing around it when he was asked about it. Are they actively investigating the unmasking of americans caught on taps . Theres a big question about the fbis role in this. Theres concern in the house about just generally how the fbi is handling the case. We spoke wit
