i love my husband, president barack obama. >> singer chris brown is out on bail after a woman told police he threatened her with a gun. officers took the grammy winner into custody yesterday, following an hours-long standoff at his home. brown was posting on social media. >> not going to stop on me like i'm the villain out here, like i'm going crazy. you get the warrant whatever you need to do, and you can walk right up in here and you're going to see nothing, you idiots. >> it's been a rough week for kanye west. hours after canceling the remainder of his san pablo tour, the rapper was apparently rushed to an l.a. hospital for a, quote, psychiatric emergency. according to tmz, west was acting erratically and attempted to assault a gym staff member. >> all righty. and kat and tyrus also here somewhere in times square, and new york city. and they're going crazy with the crowd. hi, guys! >> hey, how's it going? >> looks good. >> how many hours now? >> about 14 hours. >> 14 hours. you still have not gone to the bathroom at all? >> no. nothing. >> i know, your kidneys, are they okay? >> breaki

that was the republican's job when barack obama was president. it's the democrat's job when donald trump is president. they're in opposition, that's our system. this action will be discreditable to the legitimate efforts to stand up to trump because much is as in the days afterward, people said what's wrong with these people, why are they out in the street. this will hurt chuck schumer's efforts against trump. >> brett: i want to get your thoughts the protests, some call riot video from 12th and k. we've just been having this charles with charles krauthammer, about it being more populist, i've seen it referred the as maybe ross perot would have said in that kind of delivery of a speech. ross perot the independent who ran against bill clinton and george h.w. bush. your thoughts on where it sits in the than pantheon of politics? >> it is a speech unlike any other inaugural address in american history. of all of the speeches that have ever been given. this was one in a row. nothing else like it. it is the signifier of a new era of politics. you saw

leland: president barack obama's hawaiian vacation has given the outgoing leader a little time to reflect on his eight years in office. now he's taking a page out of donald trump's playbook and tweeting about it. this morning mr. obama tweeted out: it's been the privilege of my life to serve as your president. i look forward to standing with you as a citizen. happy new year, everybody. here to weigh in on the president's legacy and what lies ahead for the president-elect, our fair and balanced political panel, antwan wright, ceo of blueprint strategies, ron meyer, politics. gentlemen, happy new year. nice to have you. >> happy new year, leland. >> happy new year. leland: the president tweeted out new year's greetings and went pretty specific on a couple of different issues. we'll start with obamacare. this from the president's twitter account: after decades of rising health care costs, has access to the financial security of affordable health care, and he included a graph to make his point. antwan, how much of this is trying to secure his legacy, how much of this is trying to then make a

the barack obama administration expelled 35 russian diplomats. so what's next in our u.s.-russian relations. the writer of the book "warrior diplomat" is with us. you heard donald trump say no computer is safe. why would he not believe that russians hacked our computers? >> you know, i'm happy to see president-elect trump taking the issue of our computer system vulnerability seriously. everything from our critical infrastructure to the thermostats in our home are online, and it's incredibly vulnerable. there are two types of computer systems. those that know they have been hacked and those that don't know they have been hacked. i'm thrilled to see him going out and talking to our intelligence professionals, most of whom are military members and dedicated civil servants to get into the details of what happened. gregg: the dnc was warned that your system was awful and there are all sorts of ways your security can be breached. when 17 intelligence agencies including the f.b.i. all conclude the same thing, the russians hacked it, we have seen the evidence, why the reluctance o

we've had persistence from the previous president, like we're seeing in barack obama, it is petulent but happened. herbert hoover resented fdc. didn't show up to show him around the white house. they let somebody else do that. they subsequently had three meetings together. hoover tried to muscle fdr to cosigning the document where two of them would agree this would be the new policy to address the great depression. fdr had none of it. hey, buddy, i got elected president, not you. i will make that decision myself. uma: he made that very clear. as far as speeches go in history, we know forge washington delivered the shortest speech, just 135 words, compared to william henry harrison whose speech was more than 8,000 words and took him 2 1/2 hours to deliver. in today's era of electronic messages and short attention, should there be a time limit on a speech to be effective, in your view? >> i don't think we have a problem with donald trump, uma. he is the twitter president. he is going to be just fine. for all the concerns people have about trump, the east wing, they have got that made.

she lost in urban areas it did not turn out for her in the way they turned out for barack obama. many posters predicted it. there is no hard evidence. what caused him to lose the election. >> let me take you to another aspect of this. senator ben says who stated this. john lewis and his people had change the world. tell me what it does to this entire conversation as we see donald trump days away from being sworn in as the president of the united states. what does it mean? change the world? the world of politics or the world as we know? what is he mean by this? >> lewis is an incredible leader. democrats had a protest. he is someone everyone looks to get every time he delivers the speech Ãwe are riveted by how he delivers it.he still a politician. a 30 year lawmaker. they know how to play politics. in many ways it's better. >> change the world? does that mean change the world and capitol hill and how democrats relate to donald trump. see the comedian coming out to say we have to do something to bridge the divide. it's at a time where we should be saying generosity and curiosity o

now, as the president leaves office, how will barack obama's legacy be remembered? we'll talk about it. in less than a week, president-elect donald trump will be trying to bring a divided nation together. we'll take a look how past presidents used their inaugural address to reassure the nation in times of trouble. >> the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. with not food, become food? thankfully at panera, 100% of our food is 100% clean. no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, or colors. panera. food as it should be. what are you doing? getting your quarter back. fountains don't earn interest, david. you know i work at ally. i was being romantic. you know what i find romantic? a robust annual percentage yield that's what i find romantic. this is literally throwing your money away. i think it's over there. that way? yeah, a little furth

obama's inauguration. the secret service is that fair game in terms of pushing the perimeter out. >> thank you for showing us that. we appreciate it. reporter: you back. elizabeth: for nintendo to deny duration, tune into fox news channel where we will have coverage all day. coming up, republican senator rand paul says he is a replacement for obama karen plans to reveal at this meet. will have a fair and balanced political panel to break it all down. plus the greatest show on earth makes the announcement shutting down the institution not your nearly a century and a half. a man's best friend is a helping hand after being stuck in a slippery situation. >> we have some fire trucks here. >> i can't see. they've been doing it quite a bit lately because dogs and they fall through. 100% of our food is 100% clean. no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, or colors. panera. food as it should be. so if ydead battery,t tire, need a tow or lock your keys in the car, geico's emergency roadside assistance is th

arthel: five days away from the transfer of power from barack obama to his successor, donald trump. it will happen and they serious questions about relations with russia and the president-elect's relationship with vladimir putin. in an exclusive interview, the outgoing cia director recent rank advice for mr. trump on handling russia as well as leader. chris and fisheries here. she recaps the conversation with john brennan live from our d.c. bureau. what kind of invited mr. brennan have? >> the crest of the message was think before you talk and tweet appeared mr. trump is to recognize his words matter. they can significantly impact our diplomatic relations with nations all over the world. >> mr. trump has to wonder and that this is more than being about 10. it is about the united states and national security. he has to make sure that now that is going to have the opportunity to do something for national security as opposed to talking and we team, he is going to have tremendous responsibility that u.s. national security are protected and advanced. >> as for russia, brennan says he bel

and barack obama. george bush and barack obama and fox news contributor. good to see you here, jillian. what did you take of the president-elect's plan there, on syria? >> i took a lot of heart, i think he's right twochlt-fold. it looks like he is willing to hold russia accountable for the atrosities they've committed there. number two, he's talking about a safe zone or no-fly zone, maybe both together. he's right to point out it's something that could have been implemented a few years ago to much greater effect. i'm glad to see he's looking at. that sounds like it's still an option that might be on the table moving forward. it's one of the better ideas putting forward to deal with the civil war that wages on. >> he criticizes russia for its role, he wants to see russia's arsenal reduced. this is the most specific we've seen the president-elect get. >> well, it's the most specific and also a little bit of a reversal. which i personally welcome. his language so far has been quite complimentary of the putin regime for good reason, he wants to try and repair

you put these together and i think you get a picture of who barack obama is. >> leslie, last word to you, all of this happening in literally the final days of his presidency. >> i'm not surprised. i mean, quite frankly. not because it's president obama doing this, it's common for himself to commute, sometimes not at the end, george w. bush commuted sentences and almost 200 pardons, i think 172 total. >> the number that president obama has done far exceeds any president who has come before him. >> and terrorists and traitors and cop killers. no question, no question. >> we have to leave it there, guys. we are waiting the president's final news conference, thanks for being here, good to see you. meanwhile, a live look, there's the white house briefing room. there it is. the podium that the president will be stepping up to shortly. we are just moments away from the start of president obama's final news conference. and foreign policy is expected to be a big topic including the state of play in war-torn syria. and our fight against isis. consider it will be here to weigh in. did you make

barack obama, his top eight cabinet picks only had five years, collectively, in the chief executive position or chief operating officer position, any of the positions in the private sector. this group of cabinet nominees, and just the top eight positions, has over 80 years. the private secretary for is fully represented here, as is the experience here in washington. so, i think senator schumer is offbase. these people know how to get results. that's why the people of america elected donald trump, to get america working again. >> martha: let's put up that screen if we could of the cabinet picks. there's been a lot of criticism out there, oh, it's just big bunch of white guys, basically. and you know when you look at it, compared with president obama's cabinet, the makeup is not all that different. there are no hispanics in the cabinet picks and there was one, i believe, in trump's picks. should that matter to the american people? >> well, you want any group of people like this to represent america. it should be diverse and it is diverse. what this is, is more of a distraction away from the jo

between israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and former president barack obama, mr. regimen that yahoo! wasted no time welcoming our company's 45th president. >> we congratulate u.s. president trump on the beginning of his term. i appreciate the deep friendship for israel as well as his statement to fight the radical islamic terror with full force. i wish to clarify, contrary to reports i've read that stopping the everyman threat in first and foremost the threat from the bad nuclear deal that was signed with iran continues to be israel's top priority. >> mr. net yahoo! added he thought as mr. trump's friendship and the islamic terrorism as we reported that it is our president trump and prime minister were to talk on the phone about a number of issues. if we get a readout which sometimes happens pretty quickly. we will that you know. elizabeth: benjamin netanyahu is the deal that world leader.

my point in question here is that is one of the big criticisms that they head about barack obama which was that he ran through obama care with just democratic votes and here we are a few years later and it's falling apart. how do you come up with a replacement that is more durable and it seems to me that might be finding a way to bring along at least the democrats. how do you bring along at least some democrats it appears that donald trump has some consensus here. >> any replacement should be done in pieces. i believe there will be pieces of art reform agenda that some democrats could support. i would not want to replace obama care in one fell swoop. it be too easy for democrats to oppose it. maybe we should try to do this in pieces and put out aspects of this law and changes that the democrats would find hard to vote against. >> rather than a behemoth do this in pieces and maybe make it stronger. i want to get to another point. you come from a c in pennsylvania where they all said no chance donald trump could win. a big reason why he is the 45th president of the united states. on his

and the president has the power of the pen for president barack obama's legacy. they look to rebuild their party, running for dnc chair and he's in houston for the dnc future forum. thank you for joining us. first and foremost, we played for our viewers at home, there are some people in miami really reacting there to the miami mayor's decision. i want to get your take on not only the sanctuary city executive order we see, but the extreme vetting of people into the u.s. >> thank you for having me. donald trump's executive orders have been disturbing, they go against fundamentally everything we believe in this country. we're a nation of immigrants. we as a country were formed because people were-- >> when you talk about disturbing, are you referring to the vetting of the refugees or the sanctuary city? or talking about both? >> i'm talking about both. you know, the country was founded because people were being persecuted because of their religion, so when you sign an executive order banning someone because of their religion, that's problematic. even dick cheney cam

persecuting the war on trou in a way that -- war on terror that barack obama never did. it's exciting to be a republican, you see why so many of them are e lated that paul ryan is returning as speaker. >> simon on the flip side, he said we're not going to just steamroll you minority. he said i'm here to uphold the rights of the majority. he said that he will give democrats respect. what do you think about that, do you believe him? >> well, not really how the house traditionally works. the majority -- >> anything is possible. >> anything is possible. the house, unlike the senate, majority party has an awful lot of power, much more power than it does in the senate, for example. look, obviously big day for the republicans a choppy day. i mean, i think one of the things that reminded all of us, this new trump era is not going to be a smooth ride. i think it's going to be a bumpy, muscular rowdy ride in the next few months. i think alex is right f you're a republican now, this is the best day you have had in a long time. what's most important for them, to focus on making the

barack obama slowed down the proper the process. thought one month where iraqi refugees weren't settled in the country. >> we wanted to get response from both sides of the aisle, thank you for reacting. back with the panel on the president's flurry of executive actions. they're going to stay right there. see you in a minute. achoo! (snap) achoo! achoo! (snap) (snap) achoo! achoo! feel a cold coming on? zicam cold remedy nasal swabs shorten colds with a snap, and reduce symptom severity by 45%. shorten your cold with a snap, with zicam. >> back with our political panel now. jessica and mercedes, thanks to both of you for sticking around. you both had a chance to listen to the white house press briefing that just ended moments ago. what was the biggest surprise? jessica, you shared with us, you were not surprised with sean spicer and the white house's defense of the travel ban. a lot of other news made in that briefing. including an announcement that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be visiting the u.s. on february 15. >

>> i think there's every reason to be skeptical of what barack obama says on this points. he and his administration have politicized intelligence over the course of the last eight years in so many ways that has really undercut the credibility of our own intelligence agencies and, remember, this claim about the russian hacking emerged first in early october, that is to say, a month before the election with statements about what the russians were doing and i had questions about it then, whether it might be another foreign intelligence service at work, a false flag and also as people have said repeatedly since then, after eight years of russian hacking and chinese hacking and iranian hacking and north korean hacking, finally the president gets upset about something. so i don't -- look, there's less than two weeks to go of barack obama administration, thank goodness. when the trump people get in, honestly, i'm concerned about anything that discloses sources and methods, i think the water has been so polluted here by these conflicting claims and charges that we are going to hav

i thought it was wrong to do that for barack obama and george w. bush and i think it's wrong to do it now. when the people have spoken and elected a leader they deserve the right to become the president, to put their agenda forward. if you oppose the agenda oppose it at every turn and explain your case, make your argument for why you disagree with that person's position but i think it is disappointing to hear people immediately saying i consider this president illegitimate because i don't like the results. even if russia had something to do with wikileaks releasing these emails which it seems highly likely they did it doesn't make donald trump an illegitimate president. to say you'll sit out the inauguration, if the shoe was on the other foot and republicans were calling hillary clinton saying they wouldn't go to her inauguration, she is not my president people would be furious. they would be going after those republicans and saying how horrible they are. we have to realize it doesn't just work one way and not the other. you have to say we need to

barack obama was 80%. donald trump is at 40% and does not seem to be doing a lot to try to expand that. i think the olive branch has to come from him as anybody else. he has work to do. republicans up for reelection in less than two years watching those numbers wondering whether it will be liability to be the trump or not. the bridge building has to be both ways. >> shannon: there is room for improvement is what you're saying? >> i think so. >> shannon: we have more than 42 democrats who say they aren't coming to the inauguration. we know where representative lewis stands on this and years ago for president george w. bush the "washington post" said boycotting that inauguration because he didn't think he was the true elected president of the united states. it seems like there are some democrats out there saying listen, the guy has been elected, let's move on. when you have someone with the stature of representative lewis saying this, now you've got 40 more democrats on board. it seems like it gives a lot mo

president barack obama commuting the sentence for chelsea manning. the former army intelligence analyst serving 35 years for leaking government secrets to wikileaks will now serve only seven of those 35 years. that move already causing uproar from lawmakers on both sides who call manning a traitor. it is a big morning of news. two days before the inauguration. so here we go and good morning, i'm bill hemmer live in "america's newsroom." >> shannon: i'm shannon bream in for martha maccallum. chelsea manning is transgender was known as bradley at the time of her arrest, three days before president obama leaves office for good. republicans are blasting the move saying the president should not have aided a person who betrayed their country and put american lives at risk. >> chelsea manning committed grave crimes and no doubt this is demoralizing for our intelligence and military community. i can't imagine anyone in the military chain of command or intelligence agreed to commute the sentence of chelsea manning. very disappointing and harmful to our nation

let me begin by expressing my appreciation first and foremost to president barack obama and vice president joe biden. the cooperation that the outgoing administration has extended in this transition effort would make every american proud. and i know the president-elect has expressed his appreciation not just for the hospitality but for the collaboration of this administration in supporting our team's transition efforts and i would reiterate that today. also very grateful to the gsa administrator denise roth and her outstanding team at gsa for the work they've done to support our efforts. also grateful for the vice chairs and executive committee of the transition effort who have put in very long hours. a number of them are with us today. ben carson is with us, rudy giuliani, jeff sessions, marsha blackburn. tom reed represent a part of the team and we express our appreciation for the many, many hours you put in assembling this day one team and express appreciation to the members of our executive committee who donated literally hundreds of hours in assisting us in preparing the recommendatio

barack obama and donald trump gets to inherit a better economy. there is no doubt donald trump is inheriting a much better economy than barack obama did in 2009 but we also see a lot of support in the "wall street journal" poll out a couple of days ago asking what americans think is the most important thing that congress and the new president should do right now? not a year from now, but right now. one was -- number one was keeping american jobs in the united states. that was basically the platform of the donald trump campaign and i think trump comes into office with a lot of popular support for his main campaign agenda. >> bill: thank you, byron. we'll talk to you again real soon as the images continue to flow across your screen here in washington, d.c. >> shannon: we will have special live coverage all day long of the inauguration. bret baier and martha maccallum will cover the main event at 10:45 eastern. there is a lot going on today. so much tradition, pomp and circumstance. the visit every inaugural morning to st. john's church and thinking

it took a lot of guts, dare i suggest, to stand in front of george bush 43, barack obama 44, jimmy carter prior to that, bill clinton, and say that, you guys, once you win, you forgot your reason for getting here. it was powerful. >> dare i suggest profound. >> he's unafraid and that's the way you'll change washington. which has institutional mechanisms to not allow you to change washington. you have to be bold. i would suggest there are have been interesting critiques of the speech, i don't think it was a dark speech at all. this is a man who wants to be judged by his actions, so in lackawanna county feels in four years his actions improved their lives, he'll win. that's a good thing. but he basically wants to be evaluated on what he's done. and we've had eight years who has give good teleprompter speeches and oratory-- >> you're going to hear that word a lot, results. >> anyone looking for donald trump's inauguration speech to make them feel better is disappointed. that's why you're seeing the negative commentary. as somebody who thought what we heard is an echoing of what we heard on t

when barack obama first got elected diseffected group of people in this case i believe the largest demonstration we've seen in recent memory, i think it was about three million people who marched across the country and many more around the globe on all seven continents expressed their dissatisfaction with the direction president trump says he will take our country. >> shannon: what are you referencing there? reproductive rights or what are the top issues? >> not necessarily. i know plenty of people who marched and each had a different reason for marching. some were offended to have a president that talked about grabbing women by certain body parts which is why you saw the hats you did across the mall and across the country. some of them are disaffected with his views on healthcare reform. some don't like how he will treat the environment. don't agree with every element of his policies. some were very offended by the american speech they heard on inauguration day that doesn't represent the america we know and love. >> shannon: lisa, a lot of people did think the american carnage speech represente

barack obama took it out of the oval office sending a terrible message. the new presidency is determined to strengthen and build the special relationship and the right way and encouraging to see it. >> shannon: today is the day. great to see you. >> bill: to our viewers around noon we'll see the prime minister arrive at the white house. around that time. we get the at 1:00 an hour later. that's all coming up. >> shannon: that will be fascinating seeing the two of them together and how they handle the press corps. that could be interesting? >> bill: a lot of flattery today. seven days ago president trump was not even sworn in yet. >> shannon: we were freezing. we were there. >> bill: we were there and think about the cascade of events that we've been watching hour by hour ever since. >> shannon: tough to keep up. >> bill: sean hannity's hour long interview last night. in a moment he will tell us what we did not see on camera from the oval office. >> all this money in the middle east and other places. in the meantime we have to rebuild our country and we ha

what happened in the southern border if light of the stance that donald trump took what barack obama's open border approach was. people rushed to get across while they still can. if you list a time limit on this you invite the same opportunity over the course of a couple of days or weeks. yes, it happened quickly. some of the processes weren't fully in place but a prudent, common sense measure that needs to happen at a time of war when enemies are trying to infiltrate us. i applaud what the president has done and hope he sticks to his guns. conservative republicans don't pile on with the left stream media on this. >> bill: doctor, what do you think we need to be considering now after watching what we did over the past three days? >> i think we need to come together as a nation and figure out the fact that we're all together in keeping our country secure. let's have a strategy. and as we develop a strategy to say that our founding fathers fought theocracy. very pro-muslim and pro-modern islam to vet against jihadist. i don't understand what saudi arabia and pakistan weren't included. on

barack obama takes aim at president trump's immigration order saying he is heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities across the country. citizens exercising their constitutional right to assembly, organize and have voices heard by officials is what we expect to see what american values are at stake. ari fleischer my guest here. hello to you. "wall street journal." 11 days are over, laos t. mr. obama couldn't wait until he finished his post inaugural vacation. he is in the caribbean. you represented a guy who kept his mouth shut for years. >> president bush's point of view. not to have one president criticize the successor president's job, don't weigh in. what you have to ask here when president obama was at the peak of his power, an election on the line. hillary clinton running to succeed him he did everything he could and spoke on behalf of hillary and it didn't do enough good. why does he think now when his star is fading when he is out of office and doesn't have power it will do any good now? >> bill: that's the equation involved in this. when you are an ex-

eric holder wasn't able to tell barack obama no. indeed, he was a co-conspirator so to speak in some of the political schemes to evade the law. whether it's the fast and furious gun running program, whether it's the illegal recess appointments, whether it's the deferred action, illegal amnesty is granted circumventing the authority given only to the congress eric holder was a co-conspirator in that effort. i think that's why it's so important to drain the swamp at the department of justice, jeff sessions is exactly the right person to do that and will go for the rule of law, something the american people have a right to demand. >> bill: we await the testimony there on the hill. john cornin with me now. thank you. >> martha: as the confirmation hearings get underway donald trump is making other news as well. he named his son-in-law jared kushner, a face we've seen throughout the process of the campaign and the nomination. he will be a senior white house advisor to the president. and it has brought some allegations of neptism into the

we did not have it under barack obama and you need to communicate your commitment to use the capacity that you have and i think rex tillerson is the right secretary of state. i think this is a very important and actually an inspired nomination. >> martha: okay. here is donald trump yesterday, the president-elect. let's listen. >> it will be repeal and replace. it will be essentially simultaneously. it will be various segments, you understand, but will most likely be on the same day or same week but probably the same day. could be the same hour. >> martha: when will that replace plan for obamacare be ready, senator? >> we have the fundamentals of that right now. we took the first step last night in the senate of repealing obamacare which is broken. the status quo is not working. in terms of across the country, prices have skyrocketed, costs have gone up in terms of co-pays, premiums. we know it has to be replaced. the plan is going to be -- >> martha: when will the plan be ready? i'm rushing you because we are getting ready for the hearing. when will the plan be ready? >> there are thi

and republicans did the same thing to barack obama and we're in a gross chapter of our national history where politics and partisanship overrides patriotism to a degree that is unacceptable for the health of the republic period. >> bill: have a good weekend. in a moment we'll talk to jason chaffetz. divided country to a degree, i think we would all agree on that. >> martha: an extraordinary amount of leadership to overcome some of the rancor. whether donald trump can do that is part of the job that lies ahead of him. lots more to come this morning as we talk about the repeal of obamacare expected to take another step toward completion. the house is expected to take up a bill to help republicans block democratic efforts to filibuster an obamacare vote. the senate passed this measure yesterday. president-elect trump tweeting about it saying this, quote. now it's on to the house. in a separate tweet he wrote this. tweet, tweet, tweet. the unaffordable care act will soon be history, says the future president. >> bill: we watch the twitter feed every morning at 6:30. watch the vote today in

i think he will try to show he is not barack obama. barack obama we talk about his history with isis. isis hasn't been on the scene that long. it was three years ago this month that barack obama famously said -- referred to them as a j.v. team. look at everything that has happened since then. dozens of terrorist attacks across the world including numbers that have hit close to americans. orlando, san bernardino. a lot of americans were affected by what happened in brussels and paris. >> what do you think he could have done? there were calls several years ago to bomb the runways in syria, to try to get a cap on all this before it exploded and spread like a cancer from syria to europe to the united states. >> i think if you talk to some critics and some republicans they say let's go all the way back to 2011 when barack obama didn't negotiate a status of forces agreement to leave troops in iraq. i think especially somebody like john mccain who has criticized barack obama a lot on this saying it left a vacuum for a place like isis to take

what would you say to hillary clinton and barack obama. what would you say to the incoming president donald trump? he has a -- his knowledge of american politics is at a level that most constitutional scholars would admire. he knows our constitution fully and completely. he has read the federalist papers and understands american journalism. i thought it was a gracious way of saying that the president is purposely lying and manipulating for political gain which went back to an answer earlier was they were trying to delegitimize donald trump. but what i took out of it is he really sees that government is corrupt fund mentally and his theory, which i happen to agree with, more transparency leads to more competency and more competency leads to more faith in government and his message to all three of them is open up the government to the extent that you can. he understands the need for covert operations and plausible denyability but open it up more and you'll see more competency in government which goes to the heart of what we experienced eight

barack obama. they are corrupt because they wanted hillary clinton to win and trying to hurt and delegitimize trump so he is doing what trump always does, attacks anybody who perceives as threat to him. >> bill: let's talk about obamacare. this is the day republicans have been waiting six years for. now, democrats would say you break that thing, you bought it. and you own it. and republicans would argue hey, it's broken already. mitch mcconnell, senate majority leader is set to release the schedule for the repeal and eventually replace. where does this stand today when you've got mike pence on one side making his arguments and president obama set to fight vigorously to defend his law? >> the repeal is the easy part. those are all goodies, a big tax cut because of the way the law was structured. jam it through the senate on budget reconciliation. that's the way the senate democrats passed it in the first place in 2010. this is all good. this is the cash back when you buy the new car. however, the la
