I think what we need to focus on, whether it is black or white or or straight, making sure that we have Hate Crime Laws like this throughout the country, that protect people like this individual that was brutalized by those four maniacs. To be when i dont believe in hate crimes laws. I dont think we should prosecute people based on their thoughts. You dont think is a hate crime . Tucker i think hate is involved, im merely saying it is a separate category. Im also opposed to lying and downplaying something that is obvious. It is clear that this mans race and political position played a role. Absolutely. Tucker that is not all clear from the accounts that were prevalent today. The associated press, and the first account, didnt measure tl angles. I wonder why that was. I dont know. What i can say here, the charges came down from the prosecutor, the final arbiter, there is no arbiter of the case. People reporting the facts, which is, this individual was charged with a hate crime, this prosecutor, based upon the standards for a hate crime in the state of illinois, thought that these four individuals were in violation of a hate crime. Just like dylann roof, according to the statues in South Carolina, were in violation of the height hate c. Tucker we also draw conclusions from events, that is part of our job here, Simone Sanders said this, this is not a hate crime. Hate crimes are because of a persons racial ethnicity, religion, gender, disability. It isnt your political leanings because someone doesnt like your political leanings. If you had to don clement saying, i dont get is evil. I think these are young people, and they had bad home training. Last night on the kelly fire, i called it a hate crime. It is a hate crime, it is wrong, it is violent, it is disgusting. What they should cause us to do, tucker, should cause all of americans, whether you are black, white, hispanic, jewish, muslim, to say we are moving into a new presidency, how do we come to the table. This is not america, right . This is not america. How do we come together and have a conversation about making our country better, how do we have a conversation about Looking Beyond race, Looking Beyond gender, Looking Beyond tucker i am totally look. You walk into a certain neighborhood, you are the wrong color, you are liable to get in trouble. Okay . That is just true. I know it firsthand. You cant say that out loud and most venues because it doesnt doesnt that is part of the problem. You need to have these conversations. When i walk in when i go to friendship heights, and the d. C. Area, or any highend boutique, im followed around by a salesclerk because i happen to be africanamerican, it is the same as you getting in trouble and a black neighborhood. We have to have these conversations to break the stigma down. When it happens to become i go to the manager and say, your clerk is following me, im here to make a purchase, this is wrong, we need to work on fixing it. Tucker i think this sums up perfectly the attitude from the left. If the attackers have been right in the victim had been black, the incident would have conjured americas ugly history. There is that might be right on the merits, but it is an obvious attempt to downplay the significance of this. Whats at stake, as you know, is victim status. The idea that a trump supporter might be a victim of a crime based on political beliefs. Okay, but nobody wants to give up. The prosecutor was very clear tucker why are all these liberals trying to say that this is just one isolated example . Here is the problem. I would argue that a hate crime is a hate crime. It doesnt have a political tilt to it. Dylann roof, we dont blame republicans for dylann roof. No. We should in plain democrats. Tucker are you joking . I never blamed dylann roof is a rage maniac tucker were you in this country when that happened . By the way, let me say, i agree with what you are saying. I disagree with your and willingness to see what has been going on. There is a mass shooting that has a prescribed media narrative, all of a sudden lets be very clear. After the dylann roof case, there was a campaign to take down the Confederate Flag, which was the right thing to do. And the governor, republican governor tucker they banned The Dukes Of Hazard from television. As if every southerner it has thats two different conversations. The Dylann Roof Incident brought to life tucker they did that after dylann roof. Im making a point. After the Dylann Roof Incident was brought to life, and South Carolina, the Confederate Flag flies over the capital. Both democrats and or publicans in South Carolina agreed it was a bad idea. Waiving the Confederate Flag tucker look, if demagoguery in my mind, they banned The Dukes Of Hazard we are having a conversation about four individuals who committed a hate crime of the Confederate Flag. You cant lump the whole party and with it. That is the argument i am making. Its wrong, its disgusting, shouldnt happen. It is not time to i am being absolutely honest. Tucker we are out of time. Good to see you. Tucker thank you. Congratulations. Tucker u. S. Intelligence reiterated their belief that the russian government actively meddled in the u. S. Election. Here are some highlights from todays testimony. Every american should be alarmed by russias attack to our nation. The hacking was only one part of it. The aftermath, an unprecedented attack on our democracy. It also declared the classical propaganda. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time now, putin is up to no good, he better be stopped. Tucker fox news chief intelligence correspondence Catherine Herridge is covering the story at the capitol tonight. She joins us from there. What is going on . Thank you, tucker. The bottom line is that the witnesses testified that there are more confident today than they were back in october that this was russian interference, that it came from the highest level of the government. But no one blamed Vladimir Putin by name and no one said that this was done to help donald trump win and to make sure that Hillary Clinton lost. They did testify that it was a Multifaceted Campaign that involved the theft of the emails from the dnc and the clinton campaign, as well as disinformation, as well as fake news. But they also testified that they never found any evidence that the voting on the ballots was changed in any way. They really couldnt speak to the impact of Public Opinion and whether that influenced how they voted at the end of today. Now, there are several reports here, we have this classified her part that went to the president today. This will also be brief to congress. Then, the President Elect will get his briefing tomorrow, and then, early next week, we believe monday, based on our reporting, there will be an unclassified report thats available to the public. The witnesses testified today that they will try and be very forward leaning and providing a lot of detail about who exactly was pulling the strings on this thing. And whether motivation and intent was, tucker. Tucker what is the significance, if any, catherine, the timing here . I have been covering this area for more than a decade. Its always important to look at the timing of events. You know, from working in this town come up when there is a big rollout of information, this tes to be almost choreographed to the party that is in power. We asked the white house today if the report was just vinyl this week. How was it that the administration imposed sanctions in russia last week and then, expelled 35 Russian Diplomats if they didnt have the final reports. What they said is that they wanted a forceful response and they didnt need more information to do that. It begs the question, what does a forceful response mean when the hacking is welldocumented and it began over a year ago, tucker . Tucker that is the question right there. Catherine, thanks a lot. Youre welcome. Tucker for more on russias hacking, we have newt gingrich. Thanks for being here. What is the truth, in your view, the bottom of this . To what extent did the russians interfere in the selection . No more than the United States interferes All Over The World to the u. S. Information agency. I mean, i dont see apparently, i have not seen the report, apparently, the report says they didnt change any votes, i dont understand what the word hacking means in this context. It apparently didnt change any votes in any precinct in america. The American People voted without interference. The russians may have engaged in disinformation. Whether that is more disinformation than the New York Times routinely engages in, i have no idea. And i dont take it this is a country where al jazeera is a really evolved by cable, for petes sake. Tucker you heard a number of different intelligence officials express outrage at President Elect trump was in effect integrating what they doo or Casting Aspersions on their honesty. I am happy to catch aspersions. I believe that we have clear evidence over and over that there are people very high in the Intelligence Community who have been politically redesigning what they say and who are trying to respond to what they thought the Obama Administration wanted. We have a clear case in the Central Command where 50 different analysts signed a letter, a very unusual saying that their commanding general had been pressuring them to understate the power of isis to fight the white houses definition. Now, that is a clear, and Inspector General investigation right now. They were basically saying, their implication was, the director of National Intelligence was putting pressure on the Central Command to produce reports that fit the white houses world. Tucker that would be James Clapper. That would be James Clapper, he is a good friend, i thought very highly of him over the years, the fact is, those 50 analysts argue that the pressure was on to issue reports that understated the danger of isis. Tucker am i misremembering this . This is James Clapper who said today, the director of National Intelligence, who said, our assessment is now even more resolute that russia interfered in this election. A politically charged thing to say. As of the same James Clapper who assured the country that the nsa was not spying on americans . Was he lying when he said that . That is the whole challenge you got. We probably need a National Dialogue. Im not sure we need a national debate. We need a National Dialogue about how the modern world is going to work. Sony gets hacked, presumably by north korea, although, we dont totally know that. The fact is, we dont have a very good grip on how this stuff works. And who does what. You have people who have falsifying operations. So, maybe it was the russians, maybe it was the chinese pretending to be the russians. We dont understand all of this stuff. I am very suspicious that this has been going on what does it say to you by the american intelligent system, this has been going on for over a year, they dont really discover it until trump wins . I mean why werent they saying it six or eight or nine months ago . Tucker having been around this a lot, do you think, actually, the community doesnt know . Is that possible . I think let me say up front. I am very sympathetic to how hard it is to know things that are secret. I went through and reviewed the Weapons Of Mass Destruction report that was the basis of the Iraq Campaign under bush. And i think it was honestly their press assessment. It was an assessment with the russians, the italians, the british, the french, they all agreed with. It turned out to be wrong. The nature of intelligence is, you often dont know things, even if you think you know them. And we overvalue it. In that sense. Its important, but you shouldnt say that it is definitive. Cyber behavior, Cyber Warfare is a new world. None of us have a very good grip on ant. The National Security agency is probably the best in the world. But they are the best in a way that is shrinking because the zones of are getting bigger. The number of players are getting bigger. There are more and more small groups of criminal hackers who are astonishingly successful, they steal hundreds of millions of dollars a year. In this environment, what i find it suspicious, if you well, i dont want to overstate it, the president of the United States, barack obama, is in essence telling us, that in the last year of his administration, after he had seven years to fix this, something may have been going on for 12 months that they are not totally sure of. But now, and the last weeks, they have decided to issue a report, which is filled with uncertainty, while they are saying they are certain. Tucker posing as absolute certainty. In that way, it is a classic washington summation, i would say. Thanks a lot for joining us. Good to see you. Tucker time now for twitterstorm, our nightly forecast of social medias most powerful weather patterns. A simple question of about a pickup truck is sending shock waves through the press. All started when the street happen. The top three bestselling vehicles in america are pickups. Questions to reporters, do you personally know someone who owns one, a pickup, that is . The response was sensitive. Washington post National Correspondence said this, because im from alaska, do any friends on one in d. C. Or new york . No because they are unnecessary here. Missing the point of the question. No. [laughs] how many journalists know someone who owns a ferret, going the non sequitur route. Mother jones engagement editor ben dreyfus said this is a very silly question, to which come of the top three Population Centers are liberal strongholds, do you personally know someone there . Burn. And finally, New York Times Science Writer covers Climate Change and said this, that might be the dumbest question i have heard today. Of course i do. That is not a word to drive a stick. Are there bodies with pickups, since then, of course, this neeo demonize reporters with an amer. That is where he is wrong. That never gets an old. Ever. It still taste good 20 years later. That is tonight twitterstorm how tough our things were american newspapers . So tough that even children can buy one. The fact is here, a 19yearold in arkansas just bought his own hometown newspaper. Hes got big plans for it. He joins us next. Also, we will take you to trump tower live for a report straight ahead. You totaled your brand new car. Nobodys hurt, but there will still be pain. It comes when your Insurance Company says theyll only pay threequarters of what it takes to replace it. What are you supposed to do . Drive threequarters of a car . Now if you had Liberty Mutual new car replacement™, youd get your whole car back. I guess they dont want you driving around on three wheels. Smart. With Liberty Mutual new car replacement™, well replace the full value of your car. Liberty stands with you™. Liberty mutual insurance. How did you afford a newspaper at the age of 19 . As of right now, we have been working on a handshake. It has been very unofficial. It has been a big cobble work, we have been able to get a bite, and has been well within what i can afford. Tucker good for you. Why would you want to do this . Well, a paper, especially in eastern arkansas, i didnt know this until i had actually gotten involved with the central delta argussun , it is a badge of pride for a community and i think that it is a worthwhile endeavor to try to keep it alive for as long as it can be. Tucker i once worked in a newspaper in arkansas, a great paper. Identify with the desire. There is nobody else in your age cohort, not one person who you went to high school were, who worked at a newspaper, or read a newspaper, for that matter. [laughs] what is your plan to get this paper alive . I am very aware that the National Trend has been the downfall of newspapers. But in my particular area, there is still a demand for a paper. As long as there is a demand, i am willing to invest in being the supplier. Its just been, its been a little bit of struggle getting off the ground. As of now, things are going very smoothly. Tucker now that you are the William Randolph hearst of the central delta argussun, you got to misuse your power, do you want to do something crazy with the paper every once in a while . Write editorials against people you dont like . Give better views to movies you didnt care for . What are you doing to make the paper yours . Everybody is pretty well aware, i am 19. No journalistic experience. I am not going to bite off more than i can chew. But i am trying to do right now, his key people on
