barack obama. >> ladies and gentlemen, the 44th president of the united states, barack obama. [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] neil: all right. barack obama addressing many in this crowd, by the way, we're told are some of the same ones who were with him about eight years ago, some ten years ago when he first announced he was interested in running for the presidency of the united states. of course, his wife and daughters are there, the vice president, joe biden, his wife there. they chose this venue because he wanted to get outside of washington and make a statement about the small town guy who made it big even though chicago's hardly a small town. in the case of barack obama, it launched a career that changed american history. many critics will say they don't like the kind of changes, but he was a consequential figure and will go down as such. we'll watch barack obama. [cheers and applause] >> it's good to be home! [cheers and applause] thank you, everybody. [cheers and applause] thank you! thank you. [cheers and applause] thank you! thank you so much. than

that is almost as barack obama's first and second inaugurations together. the read on all of that with adam shapiro in washington, d.c. adam, what are you hearing? >> well, the donations and amount of money that have been coming in are setting a record. we'll put this into perspective a little bit. talk about some of the corporate donation,. liz: which have already been announced. for instance, chevron donated to the inauguration committee $500,000. boeing pledgedded up to one million dollars. at&t, it is kind of an in-kind donation, when you walk around washington near the mall and capitol, cell phone towers have been put in place. this will quintuple the amount of cell phone service available on friday as hundreds of thousands of people descend on the nation's capitol for the inauguration. where does this stand, this $90 million that the trump inaugural committee raised so far? where does this stand, compared to other presidential inaugural committees? president obama, both inaugural committees, combined, raised roughly $97 million. gw, george walker bush

democrats did not come back and do things before barack obama was inaugurated. we are seeing that now, laying the groundwork him to silence bills after he is inaugurated and the agenda they have after his inauguration is frankly enormous. neil: another tweet coming from donald trump, there should be no further releases from gitmo, and the battlefield, all of this happens with president obama promising to empty out gitmo before he leaves office, he is similarly moved to punish the resin and kick out 35 of their diplomats, set up unusual friction between the outgoing administration and the incoming administration the likes of which i have not seen ever. what is going on? >> i am with you. have never seen anything like this, never seen a president-elect openly tangled decisions being made by the sitting president. the unwritten have always been you are not president until you are inaugurated and you will not comment on potential matters until that moment. neil: did president obama, it matters by making such aggressive moves, 180 ° from where the incoming president

neil: that shot of you pointing your finger at president barack obama. you didn't have a scared bone in your body. tweeting out trump's last day in office and real donald trump securing our borders tomorrow. a lot of people aren't familiar. that is rare for someone, most people are in awe of the president. republican or democrat, what went on there? >> i went there very respectfully to meet him. he was coming into town. and i went there respectfully. i wrote him a note. we got into the situation of securing my border. and he just doesn't think that it was necessary, and he talked to me like i was a child, like i didn't know what i was talking about. and by god, it was his job, it was his job. neil: you're pointing back to him at that picture, sue, so show that again. what were you saying to him at that point and was it reairable? >> i don't know exactly what i was say, i this know exactly what you were saying. >> he was not disgracious to me. he wasn't gracious at all to me. he was not listening to us. he has a job to do as president of the united states

less secure than the world that barack obama inherited from george w. bush. so i think the team that donald trump surrounding himself with are the right people to show the kind of aggressive american leadership worldwide that we have been hoping for for years. charles: ceos and generals know how to get the job done, and none of them needed this job. they're not career politicians to your point. they are indeed patriots. senator, thank you for taking up the time. >> thank you, charles. charles: see you soon. lockheed martin meantime, shares have fallen. reported earnings this morning. it was the outlook. let's go to nicole petallides on new york stock exchange what president trump might have to do with this outlook. >> he has been very tough on lockheed martin, talking particularly about prices of fighter jets and they said they will be lowering those. the ceo made a personal commitment to donald trump for exactly that. the stock is down about 2%. it is off the lows of the day, and you summed it up great in our own tweet, charles payne, noting that they

barack obama, the outgoing president of the united states, working with democratic leaders to try to preserve and do everything he can to save his signature legislative achievement, the affordable care act, what has become known as obamacare and republicans led by, by president-elect mike pence doing everything they can working with republicans to torpedo the thing. this just about, a little more than two weeks ahead of the inauguration. awkward. but this guy never is. doug wead, presidential historian, extraordinaire. doug, it is wild. you have two, an outgoing president and incoming one at loggerheads over everything from russian policy, kicking diplomats out on one part, another guy thinks it is bad idea. ignoring north koreans. making a big deal of north koreans. the health care thing, i don't think i've ever seen anything like it. >> tell you, neil, it is common in history, if you go back far enough. in fact we amended the constitution of the united states, and you know how cumbersome that process is, because these transitions were so problematic. we changed it from four months

you're quite right to point out this list of seven dangerous ones that barack obama came up with in his administration. and a number of democrats at time agreed. a third of some 90 who looked at these seven as being worrisome, yet of the 180 or so terrorist incidents we've had in this country, secretary, only 11 have involved individuals from these specific seven countries. then people say, you're even catching the wrong people with the wrong net. what do you say? >> a couple ever things. one is you're absolutely right, the sources of terrorism change with time. for example, the 9/11 hijackers, a bunch of saud dills and egyptians in that cohort. neil: right. >> things have changed. isis seems to be the place, areas isis controls are where the they're both sucking in recruiting stair terrorists and sending them out. this list of seven may become a list of 10 six months from now, and might be different countries t has to change to reflect the realities on the ground. the other thing i would note the other part of president trump's executive order, temporary freezing of refugee program. th

barack obama. after this. (bell chimes) ♪ nice work brother dominic. now we just need 500 more... translated into 35 languages, personalized oh and shared across the 7 continents. (other languages spoken) look abbot, i got it. it's a miracle. ♪ neil: all right. new details on the fort lauderdale suspect, esteban santiago, the 26-year-old male allegedly behind the fort lauderdale airport attacks. he faces three charges. two carry a maximum penalty of death. bond hairing, january 17th. arraignment formally, january 23rd. video coming today showed him calmly, cooley shooting down people from a gun he had kept in his luggage, opened it up in the men's room, came out and just started shooting. formal arraignment, later this month. >>> confirmation hearings will begin earnest this week or earnest this week for donald trump and his cabinet. by the time the week is out, we could be looking at nine positions being voted on and filled. that might be optimistic but "real clear politics" reporter caitlyn huey burns, that this speedy process is not unprecedented.

the difference is republicans -- what's going to happen as this is analogous to barack obama's first two years and that he has the run of the table. that is donald trump having control of the house and the senate, obviously the white house. maybe what we see is republicans running things through because that the only choice they have. >> well, they will. but we probably won't see is what happened after democrats rent rings through if we have a tea party because it's not about democrat or republican. we have had the social engineering of left wing big government, massive taxation and it doesn't work for anyone. republicans will have a chance to put their ideas on the table and say freedom and liberty works. i don't expect in two years for democrats, whether they cross their arms are not and say you just get this done. the republicans have enough to really get things done. even if it means going to be hard, we need to first get rid of obamacare. it needs to collapse the authority collapsed. we need to reshape the department of education. we really need them engineering new ideas. all o

some saye ages barack obama rally or donald trump postelection rally. this is not red or bluish issue. at corner of wall and broad, if they can make money under a communist they will be happy to do that. charles payne and his friends. they're that sacrilegious. since the trump election a lot of key sectors have moved smartly. charles payne, among them the financial sector up 20%. again a big catalyst today. when you see something that disproportionate to other factors, not that it might not be justified, doesn't get me wrong, does it worry you? >> not really. you have to stretch it out to see how they were doing prior to that. financial were actually taking it on the chin despite bailout from federal reserve, which bailed them out more than main street. you bring up the point when it comes to indices particularly the dow. nothing weighs heavier on the dow than goldman sachs. goldman sachs is 5% of the dow. when that moves up, es poe nextly it takes the dow significantly higher. it is somewhat skewed. neil: just interesting little side note, goldman sach

if you say that, say the same, family has traditionally given to barack obama or democrats in the past. becomes an issue because of this guy. becomes an issue all these entertainers who won't sing or be entertaining at his inauguration. i always think that kind of thing is to celebrate not just this incoming president, but presidency and historic transfer, peaceful transfer ever power, but, what do i know? >>> meanwhile speaker paul ryan says there is a replacement plan for obamacare but there are a lot of options to that and they can't agree on the options. gerri willis, you and i chatted about this before. the rap against republicans, you guys are great at tearings things apart but you don't have anything of your own. the dirty secret they had almost too much of their own. there is gazillion plans of their own. >> that's right. neil: they can't agree on the alternative plan sore what does it stand? >> let me tell you what happened here, it is fascinating and completely complicated when they got to this, but it congress. what can you expect. senate passed in early morning budget resol

neil: what about barack obama pardoning her as leaves office? >> you know what? it would be very interesting if he did pardon here, that would be some sort of admission she did do something. i asked nancy pelosi about that, she answered me why, why would he do that? she didn't do anything. neil: okay. >> that would be sort of interesting way to go about that. neil: kerry picket, daily caller, thanks very much. good seeing you. >> sure thing. neil: can you believe the inauguration is week away when president-elect donald trump becomes president trump. exactly what kind of economy is he inheriting, after this? [phone ring] hey dad. hey sweetie, how was your first week? long. it'll get better. i'm at the edward jones office, like sue suggested. thanks for doing this, dad. so i thought it might be time to talk about a financial strategy. you mean pay him back? knowing your future is about more than just you. so let's start talking about your long-term goals. multiplied by 14,000 financial advisors, it's a big deal. and it's how edward jones makes sense of investing.

neil: much has been made of the fact that at this point barack obama had seven cabinet officials ready to go. two maybe three for 4%. does that have rapidly how it can be going? >> he obviously wants to have this team together given all the very tough issues that inherits from the obama administration. go see the president, the new president spent his time today largely on domestic matters. the president went out on saturday. the special cia director accompanied him. not out of a molehill. >> thank you, sir. in the meantime, the protests across the country, across the world and a lot of them in washington. you won't believe what their focus will be. but you can feel confident in our investment experience around the world. call us or your advisor... t. rowe price. invest with confidence. neil: how about a million woman march for the worldwide protests if activists are looking at an april 15th protest. that is tax day. they are not over your taxes or their taxes, the president trumps taxes. tea party patriots on all this. apparently what they are saying is you have not said you're not go

it wasn't this laborious thing t took barack obama like an hour to answer a simple question about the weather. i mean that is not happening thank god. what is funny about donald, for all his brashness he can be incredibly charming, and he can deal with the press. he knows how to deal with the press. he has been doing it for years. that was an excellent press conference. the mexico thing wasn't excellent, we were making huge thing out of a wall, in reality something really simple helped propel donald trump to the election. i'm sure the wall played a role but defining characteristic between him and hillary clinton was the economy. how she wanted more of the same obama-nomics. rammed up obamanomics with taxes and screwingsmall businesses. he didn't. he wanted the opposite. one of the problem with all the wall nonsense it is taking him off the central premise, reason why markets are up. markets are up, not just fat cats making money. what it is investors believing the economy will improve more thant is now. we're not talking about taxe we're not talking about cutting regulations. we're ta

in fact post this election watches continue wages of a barack obama rally. that was significant over his eight years you about the latest catalyst in this 11% jump in the dow since mr. trump's election does at least raise the possibility that he might have something to be doing with this but you never see it in media reports, more fixated, maybe because donald trump has made it an issue on things like crowd sizes and all of that. to daily caller news foundation editor. katie, what do you think of that? this is actually the president's doing. he wanted to revisit this issue, the crowd size issue and he gave the media distraction and they ran with it? >> exactly. i think donald trump needs to stop. sean spicer needs to stop. they need to stop talking about crowd sizes. he needs to stop tweeting 8:00 in the morning about voter fraud, he needs to stop. interesting thing about this media is so intent covering donald trump's tweet about voter fraud but had zero interest in covering jeh johnson and department of homeland security, when they on january 6, had the me

don't they remember how they treated merrick garland, barack obama's choice for the supreme court. tit-for-tat. get over with it. deal with it. republicans saying this is very different. my point whether you're on the right or left. whether you're republican or democrat, this is not getting anything done. and this obestin nance is why why the markets are worried about anything ever getting done. a lot of that has to do with people communicating with each other, which seems to be alien concept intraand interparty. we'll get the latest from dhs secretary john kelly, many said was left out of the decision-making process on the travel ban, whatever you want to call it. he will clarify how his department will handle that. that it is not nearly as draconian as some said in the media. having said though, you would think, would think it is reemergence of the third reich how this was handled. this echoes the same security measures the prior administration took into effect and slow, not just freeze those trying to get into this country. dhs secretary john kelly, to spell it all out now. >> w

short of that apology to barack obama, and "birther" thing and seeing that is unlikely, how could he reach out to guys like you, to the caucus, like some of them, have expressed concern about reversing inroads and legislation under this president, under the next president? >> well, the, one thing i think is extremely important is that he needs to be a little careful on how he reaches out to minority communities. i mean for example, when donald trump reached out to the minority communities after the election, he reached out to a rapper, kanye west, and don king, controversial boxing promoter. i mean, you know, he didn't reach out to justin bieber when he wanted to talk to other folks or the kardashians. neil: probably a good reason not to even try with the kardashians, right? it is just aadhow. let me ask you real quick, i know your time is rushed, sir. there is effort to really go after jeff sessions right now, the president's choice to be attorney general, and going back 30 plus years, to seek out proof that he was racist, or said racist things. is that productive do you think? >> w

the closest i can compare it to is the chill of, with barack obama and benjamin netanyahu when he had agreed to speak to a joint session of congress. he was invited by then speaker john boehner but this is almost in that camp because this guy not coming at all! >> you're exactly right. it is something that is unfortunate neil, and i think that the president would have been well-served to go ahead and come in and meet with president trump and meet with con aggressional leaders and start a dialogue. the american people and mexican people would like to see some definition on that southern border and put an end to the trafficking, the coyotes working through that area. that has to be disruptive to them and their families. so this is a problem that needs to be solved. i think he would have been well-served, let me be part of the solution. let's work this out. now, we might not get everything we want from them on doing this but i have to tell you anytime i've given the opportunity to be at the table i will try to fine a way to extend a hand and say we may disagree but work together for a so

neil: austan goolsbee, former economic advisor to president barack obama who's swan song tonight. as we've been chatting, dow getting closer to 20,000. i'm not going to say anything. the more we focus on it doesn't happen. but we're 4points away! 47 points away! hey gary, what are you doing? oh hey john, i'm connecting our brains so we can share our amazing trading knowledge. that's a great idea, but why don't you just go to thinkorswim's chat rooms where you can share strategies, ideas, even actual trades with market professionals and thousands of other traders? . . tap into the knowledge of other traders on thinkorswim. only at td ameritrade. neil: these on firmmation hearings continue on capitol hill for jeff sessions of the he is the only cabinet appointee slate for two days of hearings. some could end up two days, multiple days but jeff sessions has honor of two days slated. donald trump's pick as next attorney general of the united states. but the fireworks could come tomorrow. we're expected to hear from new jersey senator cory booker, often mentioned as a handful of potent
