The quotes about the upcoming president ial inauguration. Pumped up for the inauguration . Pumped up, baby. 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. Kates law reintroduced. That is a segment of this evenings talking points memo. First, the big picture. I believe donald trump separated himself from his republican competitors last year by being very tough on illegal immigration. Mr. Trump made it very clear to the American People that he believes folks entering the usa illegally should be held accountable for that action. He also championed kates law, which would impose a mandatory minimum five year prison term on foreigners convicted of crimes in the usa who reenter after being deported. Kates law specifically says that convicted felons are the targets, not chambermaids or farmworkers. As you may know, the factor came up with this law after 32yearold kate steinle was shot to death, allegedly by an illegal alien, Juan Francisco lopezsanchez. That man had been deported five times but illegally entered here six times. How could that possibly happen . How could a guy avoid a long prison term defining deportation all those times . It is insane and america is at fault for allowing it to happen. The toll on the family is immense. The day she was killed, we were walking arm and arm on pier 14 in San Francisco, enjoying a wonderful day together. Suddenly, a shot rang out. Kate fell. She looked at me and said, help me, dad. It was the last words i will ever hear from my daughter. Bill the murder trial begins in california february 17th. Also, last friday, federal judge said to the steinle family, they are free to sue the u. S. Government. The federal government, for general negligence. But the judge did dismissed the claims against San Francisco county. That is too bad. That is why kates law is needed. No American Family should suffer at the hands of convicted foreign felons who defy deportation. Talking points memo believes one of the main reasons i donald trump won the presidency is that he felt outrage over kate steinle, while many other politicians, including the entire Democratic Party and president obama, did not. Even if you are not politically involved, failing to harshly punish foreigners who defy deportation after committing heinous crimes in this country is inexcusable. The government is there to protect the people, not to look the other way when things like immigration breakdown. And remember, San Francisco let sanchez go, let him out of jail, after they requested the county hold him. How bad is that . This time around, we can expect kates law to pass, as the democrats will have a very hard time blocking it. That will be a tremendous victory for every american citizen. That is the memo. Now, for the top story reactions, joining us from washington, charles krauthammer. Harry reid is gone. He singlehandedly rallied enough democrats to block kates law in the senates last time around. Do you expect it to pass . Yes, i do. I mean, as you say, we have had an election. Immigration was a major issue. Kate steinle is a slam dunk. It is really hard to imagine a logical argument against it. I dont think it is the most important of the measures. It is probably it is way down the list because the population to which it applies is rather small. But as you say, i agree with you on this, it is very symbolic and it is a sign of things to come. There was essentially a referendum on and immigration the details werent there. But in the current mood of the country, with the new administration that made immigration a major issue, i think it would be very hard for it to be filibustered. There are ten Democratic Senators who are coming from states that went republican, that one for trump come up for reelection in 2018. They would have to tread very carefully to oppose this law. Bill okay. Now, if we had a plebiscite in this country on kates law, do you think 9010, it passes . 9010 . It would be a significant majority. Bill okay. That is number one. So, harry reid and the democrats have blocked the law, blocked it in the face of overwhelming support from the American People, it shows me that he has contempt for us. The second thing is, once you get critical mass, kates law is critical mass, this drug dealer, this is what he was, six times, was able to come illegally across the border. Six times. That means we dont have an effective border. All right, that means we dont have a Justice System that works because he was caught all those times and sent back all those times an end Nothing Happened to him that means, we have complete chaos and anarchy in our immi Justice Systems doesnt not . What it means is, we need to be serious about preventing illegal immigration of all kinds. There, the real results, the real payoff will be number one, cutting of sanctuary cities mso, you dont get cities like San Francisco not cooperating with the feds. That will be far more effective in any case law. Second, you build a barrier, so that it actually becomes difficult for people to come in. They cant walk in anytime they want. The israelis have a fence, other people have fences, all over europe, and they work. The third would be everify. You cut down on immigration by having people use a very effective federal system to check on their illegal status. There is no work the fourth is the visa. I mean, 40 of the people over stay. So, those are the four measures. Bill there got to be penalties, also attached. How does this make you feel . Every time i engage the other side, the liberal side, on kates law, they always equated, this guy, this heinous guy, who will be convicted in San Francisco, with farmers come up with house painters, they ner would break it out, because we are only talking here about felons. Kates law is directed against criminals who have been convicted of heinous crimes. Not people who paint houses and to come across. But the other side wouldnt see that, wouldnt give you that. It was an attack on migrants, attacking migrants, oreilly. I found that so despicable, did you . Your argument is not with me. Your argument is with harry reid, who is now in a blissful retirement. Your argument is with a pot of democrats, for whom immigration is totally symbolism. Anything that seems to be opposing Illegal Immigrants is seen as an issue that they cannot use politically. The democrats have made it very clear they always wanted immigration as an issue and not as a policy. Well, those days are over. The republicans are now in charge, they are serious about immigration. The only question is, what kind of laws will they pass and how effective will they be. Again, look, i admire your passion about kates law and i think it is a good idea. But it ranks very low on the list of things that are actually going to be making a difference. Bill that will start it, though. That will start it. Once you get past, then, you will see the other things come up and the momentum will start to build. But this family, their steinle family, needs justice. This is a symbolic play. Our senators and congresspeople got to do the right thing. They have to. It just makes me sick. All right, charles, we appreciate it. Next, on the rundown, putin versus trump. The controversy still very hot. We will talk with brit hume about it. About it. Later you wont see these folks at the post office. About it. Later they have businesses to run. They have passions to pursue. How do they avoid trips to the post office . Stamps. Com mail letters, ship packages, all the services of the post office right on your computer. Get a 4 week trial, plus 100 in extras including postage and a digital scale. Go to stamps. Com tv and never go to the post office again. Bill impact segment, the putin trump controversy. There are two stories here. First one, russia did try to create chaos in the american president ial election and putin knew about it. President obama has ancient russia, as we all know. But he could have done that last august. He waited until the last minute, i believe, so that putin issued a reprisal, he wouldnt have to deal with that, the next president would. That is speculation, i admit it. There is no other explanation for president obama not stepping up earlier when u. S. Intelligence agencies and knew the russians were hacking into the Democratic Political machine. Second story, whether the hacking influence the vote. Here, it is impossible to say. I believe few americans made their voting decision based upon what Clinton Campaign manager john podesta said in emails. However, to be fair, the hacking situation diverted the press and got a lot a coverage. So, you could say, or the Clinton Campaign because it cut into the trump bashing by the press, which is almost nonstop. Joining us now with his assessment, brit hume is in florida this evening. Now, first of all, do you think trump is being too soft on putin . Yeah, i think he probably is. Look Vladimir Putin is a bad actor. Two prior president s, two of trumps immediate predecessors try to make common cause with him. It didnt work in either case. I think trump will eventually figure this out. Buts, so far, i think he nurses this notion that he, by virtue of his personality and his way, will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with putin and to do business with him. Maybe he can. But i doubt it. I think you will figure it out before long. Bill all right, so, the intent, we know, is for the United States to have a better relationship with russia. Trump is going to try to make that happen and well see. That is fair enough. Now, on the evoting side of the hacking controversy, do you know anyone who went to the polls and said, i am voting for trump because of john podesta . Do you know anyone . No. I dont think anybody who is serious about this believes that the hacking of the emails affected ultimately the outcome of the election. Her however, as i think, bill, whatever coverage those embarrassing emails did not help the Clinton Campaign. It is worth pointing out here, would you keep hearing this talk about hacking the election or interfering in the election, it is certainly true that they tried to interfere or at least influence the campaign. Obviously, there was no effect on the voting, in terms of the actual election day exercise of peoples franchise. I simply didnt occur. Bill you know what i cant understand, all the reportage says that putin didnt like Hillary Clinton. And wanted trump to win. All right. So, be careful what you wish for. Trump wins and who does he put as secretary of defense . Perhaps, the toughest guy, antirussian guy, he doesnt hate russia, he is not going to take any nonsense from russia. Whereas, Hillary Clinton never would have put a person like that and secretary of war position. Secretary of defense position. Never. It would have been a softer, secular, nonmilitary guy. I am trying to think, why would putin want to do a tougher guy, trump, then Hillary Clinton . Do you know . What i think happened, bill, even with the Intelligence Community seems to think im a e Hillary Clinton and didnt like sanctions that were imposed and didnt like her. He started back in 2015 with this effort, which was intended to discredit her believing that she was going to be the next president. So, he was seeking to weaken her. That makes a certain kind of sense. At that point, of course, no one recognized that trump was going to come to the floor, be the nominee, and ultimately, be elected. Obviously, as trump advanced, it became hard to tell where the line could be drawn between hurting her and helping him because everything that hurt her helped him once it became oneonone between them. In the end, he got to someone he preferred, but i think he may be right, bill, you have to be careful what you wish for in a situation like this. The trump appointments, mattis in particular, and his Intelligence Agency appointees, suggest to me, that the honeymoon with russia, such as that is, will not last very lon long. Speed when i look at geopolitics and i say, okay, you can never really understand the true motives because putin is never going to tell you what he did or what he didnt do. But now, this is being used to denigrate, this is my last question for you, trumps victory. So, the people who dont like trump are saying, the only reason he won was because of putin and putins hacking. And that is it too. I think thats right. I think he needs to learn, trump does, that there are certain criticism but he doesnt need to react to. By doing so, he keeps these stories alive buys into them, and indulges a certain adolescent side that show up in his tweets. My sense about the criticism is, he would have been wise to ignore it. He would have been wise at the outset you say, if there was an attempt to interfere in the campaigns, we condemn that. We dont approve of that. We will take appropriate action, which i think im a basically, bill, is what he is now done, would you think about it. You notice all the reaction coming from the trump camp after the briefing he got on this intelligence information was pretty positive about it. It was a constructive so, doesnt it strike you, bill, that he probably listened to that and was impressed by it and is now on a different place with regard to putin and this intelligence to than he had been . To be what i know for a fact that he does not want this issue to besmirch his victory. That is paramount for him. Brit hume, everybody. Cant blame him for that. I dont think he did. Bill what is the truth about Guantanamo Bay . The factor is investigating how many released prisoners go back to terrorism. Later, Tucker Carlson on hollywood bashing donald trump last night. Also from a Jesse Watters in the upcoming inauguration. Those reports afafafafaf bill factor followup segment tonight, as you know, president obama vowed when he was elected in 2008, to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, cuba. Currently, president elect trump vows he will not close gitmo. According to analysis by director of national intelligence, president bush the younger released 532 men being held on terror charges. About 35 of them come a pretty big number, are either suspecter confirmed of going back to terrorism. As of july, 2016, president obama released 161 terror detainees. 12. 5 of them are either confirmed or suspected of going back to the dark side. Joining is now from philadelphia, dr. James mitchell, author of the book, enhanced interrogation, inside the minds and motives of islamic terrorists trying to destroy america. So, the percentage and a president obama, going back to terrorism, much lower than under president bush, doctor, why . My impression is that it probably is because the length of time. The people that bush released were quite some time ago. I think it takes a little while for the effects of being in guantanamo to wear off and for them to get back into their old behaviors. Bill i have been to Guantanamo Bay twice. I heard from some folks there that when a. Detainee is released and sent back to the middle east, they ar suspicion as possibly being a double agent, so, they cant go right away back to the battlefields. I think that probably is true. There are going to be suspiciou. My impression is that that is probably where Double Agents would come from, or at least you would suspect they would come from, if you are part of a terrorist organization. It would be very suspicious of people who were supposed to be held indefinitely who suddenly showed up again on your doorste. Bill know, left. If they are the worst of the worst, right . Right. I looked at those. The people who are left are people like explosive experts, people who are experts in chemicals and poisons, people who are experts in surfacetoair missiles, and rpgs, and trained assassins, and mountain and urban warfare instructors. So, they really are pretty horrible people. Bill Khalid Shaikh mohammed is still there . He is still there. Bill he is the architect of 9 11. It will be interesting to see if president obama lets any more of them out in the next 11 days. Do you anticipate that . Im hoping he doesnt do that. I think youd be a horrible mistake. Especially, if he does what i think i had heard him say where they were going to return them to the countries of origin. Because the most of these folks are yemeni. If you drop them in the middle of yemen, a failed estate, kind of a civil war, i cant imagine they would do anything except go back to being a jihadist. To speed when americans who sayt unlimited detention without military Tribunal Court is basically against human rights. You cant keep these people forever unless you adjudicate them on some level. Do they have a point . I think they have a point. I think the people who have been involved in killing americans, especially like Khalid Shaikh mohammed, and the other men associated with 9 11, should have had a military trial. They should have already had their sentences carried out. Bill do you know why that didnt happen . I have called for that, as well. I have called for those military trials. Even bo bergdahl, we can get a trial on him. Why . What is a problem . I think the problem is really with the Obama Administration. You know, he pled guilty to all of those crimes, including killing daniel pearl. Then, the Obama Administration set it aside. Let me tell you what that guy thinks. I spent a lot of years with ksm. What he thinks, that is a sign from his god that what he needs to do is carry out the so he can pull out other people to it. Instead of doing what i think president obama thought he was doing, what he was actually doing is giving those guys hope so they would be able to recruit more
