obama took office. cers you know, danielle, six shot. two dead. you know, it's been a brutal month for officers in the state in recent months; right? >> it certainly does. and i think we need to focus on the parts of georgia that are not within the district. this is a city full of black culture, black history. liz: but donald trump is talking about the economic performance of that district; right? >> sure. and the statistics that you call are correct. i will say that the educational statistics for them, the fifth district, the high school education, graduation and of course college is higher than the national average. it's a mixed bag, but it's not this burning in a city, which is language that donald trump has used to describe urban centers, largely african-american. liz: but they have been a problem right, sarah? inner cities have been an issue for quite some time; right? >> well, and this is why i hope john lewis will work with someone like attorney general jeff sessions who wants to work with law en

barack obama did not create a better america. liz: it was also in the meaning a number of democrats in the meeting. and what's striking here, angela is that earlier in the day, donald trump met with factory union leaders. and this is a democrat. these are historically the guys and the women who back democrats. what is going on here? >> i really think that this president will be historical. i think he's going to have a great legacy, and he is going to right the wrong. he is doing it in a little unique way, and they are standing there, and i would suggest tone it down, pull it back, and do the job that we elected you to do. we're making everything about nothing and a lot about nothing when a message is not out how bithe crowds are, it's not about who thinks he's not legitimate when john lewis testified before the senate. it doesn't matter. you're president. you're in the white house. work. . liz: okay. angela and danielle, thank you so much for your time. president trump used his first executive order friday to one of them -- one o

lou: this never happened with barack obama, it did not happen with any other president that i can recall. i would think we would agree on this. there seems to be amongst elite whether in academia or politics or intelligence, a sort of a self-permission to treat donald trump in way they have never treated any president-elect before in history, it is his position against the establishment, the elites, if you will, the comfortable order of things in washington. the swath that makes him so dangerous they fear him so much they descend to these depth. what do you think? well, yes. i don't dispute it, but it is unfortunate, there are so many people. >> these intelligence agents that serve this nation so well. i am familiar with some of them, and i am encouraged by the way, with appointments that the president-elect is making, and certainly the performance that congressmen pompeo turned in to as nominee are in central intelligence agency, and i am incurraged by senator dan coats takeover clappers position, that leadership will move in a different direction, i am hoping that these agents are cons

i think there was not a love between barack obama and hillary clinton. i think maybe they thought they didn't have to do it. and that the investigation would run it course. donald trump doesn't seep that into going down this road. and i think he did a hat tip to hillary clinton and former president clinton at that lunch after the swearing in on friday. i'll be interested to see if anything goes forward. you can't stop investigations that are going down the road. but they cannot come to fruition. kennedy: we'll see what happens. it was an interesting day seeing everyone there at the swearing in ceremony. everyone partaking in all the event. bret baier, thank you for stopping by. let me introduce my unsinkable party panel. kristen haglund. jamie swin weinstein is here. hey, hey, no fascism in the usa. donald trump made a promise that will affect just about every single one of us. >> we are going to be cutting taxes massively for both the middle class, and for companies. and that's massively. we are trying to get it down to anywhere from 15% to 20%. it's no

but there won't be any yearning for barack obama. i think he is -- >> that's what the country has been waiting for for some time. >> hallelujah, ambassador, thanks so much. be sure to vote in tonight's poll. the question is who do you believe on the russian hacking allegations? the only answers are president obama or julian assange. cast wow vote on twitter @loudobbs. please roll the video. a tourist going to great lengths for a selfie. watch him as he climbs a wobbly tower crane on the island of malta. he makes his way down the long arm of the crane. that's less down than it is out. but there it is. my gosh. not a good idea. but what a selfie. i think selfies are overrated. it was a spontaneous idea, said the tourist. spontaneous. somehow i'm quom comforted by the idea he wasn't thinking about this much before he did it. now the 115th congress has its opportunity to repeal and replace obamacare. when a cold calls... achoo! ...answer it. with zicam cold remedy. it shortens colds, so you get better, faster. colds are gonna call. answe

he showed the speech of barack obama and george w. bush, but some how he feels it's his place to censor history. i come back to the fact he could make this a real-time teachable moment about america and how we are different. instead he's going with a lesson that's off the books. liz: thank you for your time. the president-elect calming out the media saying there are more phoney polls after the media reported a drop in his approval rating. we have the details after this. don't go away. hi my name is tom. i'm raph. my name is anne. i'm one of the real live attorneys you can talk to through legalzoom. don't let unanswered legal questions hold you up, because we're here, we're here, and we've got your back. legalzoom. legal help is here. legal help is here.

that was supposed to be his breakout moment, like when ted kennedy gave barack obama the chance to speak at the convention. i'm going to be the future, i'm going to be the future of the democratic party, ingenuity, or anything at this point. he pulled a chuck schumer. he is looking down and sort of reading and trying to create this supercharged energy and passion. very dramatic. nevertheless, not a passing grade. i'm so sorry, lou. >> lou: and booker, bend the arc. it sounded like bend the law a little bit. >> a little bit like the go-ahead and try and politicize it like we saw with the department of justice and everything else. i don't think so. >> lou: of the democrats are putting on more lucid moments on television in these hearings than i ever imagined possible. the sooner they can get out of the way of this confirmation process, the better for the democratic party. great to see you kimberly. >> i concur. >> lou: i appreciate that. we are in concurrence. kimberly guilfoyle, thank you so much. >> general james mad dog mattis breezing through the process. >> we have to stay focused on

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

barack obama held it up for 8 years. why? why what you deny america the project we need? there are 20 of those. lou: the issue for president trump now is straightforwardly. he wants to hire american. he wants that money to go not to mexican cement companies and portuguese labor. he wants to focus those projects on companies that will be hiring american, using american materials, and there are limitations to that. but it's part of the change, and i'm con if i didn't he will do it. >> here is where you and i differ. i believe if he does the tax bill helped design, does the deregulation, and promotes american energy, those jobs are coming back. i don't think we need to build walls of trade protectionism. i'm saying the main way to get these jobs back -- lou: you name one free trade agreement in which there is free trade where there are no barriers to trade for the united states. can you name one? there are none. >> i think on balance nafta has worked out pretty well. lou: that's a different statement. but it's not relevant to what i asked. the impediments are significant. >>

just like those raw cans who wanted barack obama to fail, i think they were wrong as well.sg this country together. and i think beyond trying to bring the country together he will check down some of his accomplishments. that's what every farewell address is about. kennedy: he made the middle east an absolute disaster, the red line in syria was a joke. benghazi was an embarrassment. he's droning people. he pulled out of iraq only having to get back in there. thousands of troops in afghanistan and iraq. syria is an absolute a quagmire. so how is he going to take something like foreign policy and shellack that turd. >> what's the one thing this president did well for you? ways one thing you can say i appreciate president obama did x. >> he did x on a state dinner night? >> you understand what i'm trying to ask you. kennedy: i know what you are saying. he deported a lot of people. he increased the surveillance state. >> he aloud lgbtq folks. he pushed momentum on that. kennedy: he won california because he came out against gay marriage in 2008. >> then his position changed and a lot of people

charles: joe biden said when he and barack obama saw it, they laughed it off. no one took it seriously so how could the intelligence community get played this well. >> congratulations for cnn and buzzfeed for justifying everything trump does from here on in. every time's attacked. he just justified what he has done by publishing those documents. tom sphwroa cow said these have been circulating for months and months, and there is a reason no one published them. they couldn't be verified. now they waived the way for trump to say whatever he wants. charles: we knew the main stream media was against donald trump. throughout the entire process, they wrote him off over and over again. even after the fact to delegitimize him a couple days before the inauguration. >> what happened to innocent until proven guilty. trump's enemies parade someone to get dirt on him. this guy was incentivized. and he had to come up with something because of that. it's interesting how buzzfeed and cnn ran with it. but trump not taking questions from jim acosta, calling them out as fake news

obama they did not. liz: we have a growing trend on narrative, coming up several media outlets running with stories about how mexicans are losing jobs to president-elect trump's america. the ap, "new york times," and washington post, miami herald, mexican auto plant owners and workers reacts to ford's decision to cancel its car plant in mexico, saying, it hit us like a bucket of cold water, younger generation would be hurst most. they were already dreaming of going there to ford, now there is nothing. does u.s. need to worry about cutting jobs in mexico. >> that is one thing mainstream media and democrats have to find a victim then promote that victim, you know what, there is no victim. henry ford was an american, ford of the created here, here just showing loyalty back to the country. which is about damn time we got it, i am happy about it. donald trump is president of america, not mexico, let mexico worry about their citizens thrair. they are on the right track, i am glad to donald trump is stepping up

eight years ago the senate confirmed seven cabinet level nominees that day in which barack obama was inaugurated. george w. bush and some of his cabinet picks confirmed on his inauguration day and also when bill clinton was sworn into office every single member of his cabinet but one was confirmed why the senate within two days. we are in a different place. joining me to discuss democratic obstructionism, the road ahead by the republican party that controls both the senate and the house will be talking about how they will implement the trump agenda. the chairman of the freedom congress congressman mark meadows and congressman it's great at you with us. this looks like a very serious impasse in which we find ourselves. schumer looks like he is running a foreign power, not the democratic conference in the senate. >> well it's taking away from the real substance of the nominees which are outstanding. you mentioned dr. tom price and i can tell you there is not a finer man that understands health care better than really anyone on capitol hill. not only be position by policymakers so it's

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

byron complete your puppet i apologize. >> seven barack obama got on this first day. i do think it was a significant day as far as tillerson nomination is concerned. as you noted a razor thin margin. if just one republican had gone the other way it would have gotten negative recommendations from the committee and mitch mcconnell could have used parliament terry devices to get it out of the committee and to the floor. but he didn't have to so now we have marco rubio coming out saying people support this. earlier we had john mccain and lindsey graham say they would vote for tillerson. lou: baird venture was byron why would they even start with the business of we don't like this idea. what was the mccain said, he supported barely. this is an odd that if content first theater on the part of the graham mccain do well. >> probably a shot across the bow. they clearly have concerns about donald trump and russia. they are very very hard line on that. they want to make sure he doesn't essentially cross them. i think they ought her question was what was going on with rubio. he q

cnn wasn't demanding the questions when barack obama was bypassing congress or taking over parts of the u.s. economy but when they put out a report that was completely unverified and something no good journalist should ever put out. liz: that's an important point. what chris is saying is the media is accusing donald trump of lying and top spinning, what's been your experience? >> sure, you know what? i guess what ticks me off about the press or the media's reaction to donald trump is that they've been doubling down and saying that the media and the press have a constitutional right to white house press credentials when it's clear they not the case. you have to earn the right and prove you are credible and tell the truth and it's going to be verifiable and accurate. their reaction in this is really quite revealing in that they've almost forgotten they have to earn their place. liz: that's a good point. final point, you want the free press to ask the toughes and get at truth. of course you don't want to see the press being complicit to chris' point. if anyone in the administration is top

this is the lowest number in decades, especially compared to former president barack obama. rex timer on's nomination for secretary of state was pushed through by the foreign relations committee and will go to the full senate for a vote. katie, it's so interesting that the media had its fascination with donald trump and how quickly he would put his cabinet together. he made the selections very quickly. all the food drags was going on. >> i mean of course that's democrats, that's dragging out the process as long as they possibly can. they don't have the votes to stop anything. now they are going to drag things out as long as they can. and they will say see how many cabinet members he has, look how divisive he's being. he's selecting people for his cabinet secretaries that are pulling people apart. we are just doing our jobs by pointing out and dragging out this process. chles: doesn'tt iseem like a dumb political move? >> absolutely. >> i don't get it. over the weekend you had mcconnell and graham saying we are going -- we are okay with rex tillerson. today marco rubio follow

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

. >> the perfect barack obama, he's a perfect specimen. >> drawing up my leg. >> really? >> that is an objective assessment. john: no, it's not. we'll show you the real heroes, most are not politicians, they're entrepreneurs. and parents like this mom who went to jail because she wanted to give her daughters a choice. >> holy batman, it's exciting. john: heroes of freedom.

>> there is always one, democrats couldn't approve tom daschle in 2009 for barack obama somebody has tax issue the last minute we have not seen ofz of ethics has not gotten tax packages yet part of the requirements for the process. >> daschle i believe over a car service that he got as a perk, that was not that there were not at the time paid taxes paid on that, so -- >> that is -- >> scuttle his nomination. >> eric thank you so great of you to be here this morning, happy new year. >> thank you happy new year. >> coming up, chaos customs widespread delays after four hour computer outage. >> times square new year's eve celebration as distraction steal millions in jewels how much they got away with next. why pause a spontaneous moment? cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. to avoid long-term inju

and one more time barack obama will stick it to the state of israel. it devise 50 years of bipartisan american foreign policy, which is -- lou: what should we do? let's take the worst case. let's say that's exactly what transpires that that is the result. what should donald trump do when he sets into the white house on january 20th? >> well, if it's as bad as we think, and you combine that with resolution 2334, which effectively tried to set israel's ban two days before christmas, i think donald trump could do a lot worse than using the words of daniel patrick when the general assembly passed a resolution equating with racism and saying the united states will never accept these resolutions. hear that, united nations. and you had a clip on earlier of lindsey graham and ted cruz introducing legislation. cut off u.s. funding to the un because of that first resolution. here we see the un bringing old adversaries together. it's an amazing way that works. i think the only thing they respect is our money. and i think donald trump should seriously consider sup

obama and george w. bush who were both largely in many ways frankly lazy presidents who let a lot of issues slide, who let government grow, who were satisfied with slow growth. none of that is the case. we're seeing a phonetic pace right now from president trump, and i'm just thrilled, and i think the american people are going to be. because what you know? the status quo wasn't that way. they voted that way, and we're changing things. and don't look at my word, look at dow 20,000. trish: yeah, up 165 points, a lot of people are attributing this to donald trump saying lower taxes, less regulation, better security for this country, all going to translate into more economic prosperity. richard, as much as we can anticipate and lee has told us how the base is just going to love this with the wall and cracking down on immigration right now, i imagine on the other side, the flip side, you've got a base out there of clinton, obama, sanders supporters, will they equally be as enamored by this? >> well, if the po

it is nothing more than a executive agreement that president barack obama signed. iranians never signed on to it. stuart: allen, i have the ceo of merck speaking after his meeting at the white house. we'll listen please. >> that people will live longer and healthier lives. thank you very much. >> when the president talks about driving down costs, how are you guys going to achieve that. >> we talked about making the marketplace better for competition and patient choice. that will help patients and our companies. when you help our companies that helps create jobs in this country. >> regulatory reform. >> we also talked about regulatory reform also can stimulate innovation. >> does one go with the next in order to drive down costs do you need tax reform or regulatory reform or can they be separate? >> all these things come together to create a system good for innovation and good for jobs. most importantly it is good for patients in the long run. thank you. >> are you more hopeful now than you were when the lasted a administration maybe prices come down as the presiden

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

obama. liz: vice president joe biden was quick to order the proest on tere -- test ors out, your reaction? >> that is his job. he should be i think that the democrats that are pushing this issue, these this size their red meat, their opportunity to align themselves, make themselves more likeable with the base, you will see many democrats, whether they believe it or not, i believe some don't believe it would like to see what donald trump does, they will be really hitting him hard, it is -- we're just seeing the beginnings, this is going to be issue. almost anything he does, i think they need to give him a chance. >> good for you. liz: remember when president obama and hillary clinton said that would accept the results of the election, why is this going on right now? >> well funny part is that everyone was willing to accept results of the election when they thought hillary clinton of going to win. and to the other gentleman's point is not only biden's responsible but all of the democrats fight

concernsly, the senate with barack obama approving 7. >> on inauguration day. lou: only two won't come to pass as we were told by chuck schumer. >> those are by voice vote which means republicans did not object. democrats have objected to everything and saying we might let general mattis and general kelly through tomorrow. lou: this is a different situation all together. we are looking at a quite different set of elements and chemistry here. we are watching a party that has destroyed itself over the last 8 years. this president preside over the loss of 1,000 seats nationwide at the state and federal level. this has been decimation. without new york and california you have a party in real trouble. >> it's been a bloodbath. the senate can only delay the confirmation of his nomination. so it's a childish tactic. they will eventually confirm these nominees. there was an election and the people should have the benefit of the full team in the cabinet. it's despicable to think they won't immediately confirm mattis, kelly, pompeo, the national security team. because we

when you look at donald trump and barack obama, barack obama's first phone call the mahmoud abbas, leader of the fattah. first interview with al arabiya. and then he gave another speech of cairo university which set the course. what you see is president focused on as you said trade and foreign policy they both go hand in hand. remember barack obama said to england after the "brexit" vote you will have to get in the back of the line. i don't think what donald trump is looking to do. instead of these large collective trade agreements like nafta, cafta, and tpp, donald trump wants to make sure we have trade agreements country to country does benefit the american worker so we can get production and manufacturing here. i think another important aspect of trade and foreign policy how we export our energy resources especially oil and natural gas, especially to the countries tied to russia so we have higher ground when it comes to foreign policy. stuart: on friday, president trump, said, i will eradicate radical islamic terror. he will knock it out of the ballpark. can he do that, allen? you're a

that's 10,000 times said more about barack obama then any of the says about donald trump and of course the media is happy to go along with disparaging whatever he says but this is all on his watch. lou: that watch will be over in 13 days, hallelujah. rachel compos-duffy and charlie hurt thank you for being with us. the search for answers in florida appear we failing are veterans? of course we are. but what do we do about the? law enforcement experts robert chicone and chad jenkins join me next. stay with us. lou: joining me former fbi agent and the los angeles field office bobby chicone, good to have you with us and good to see again former south florida fbi joint terrorism task force special agent chad jenkins. thank you both for being here and let me start chad with you. this incident right now looking for a motive and with everything so far that we do know about this young man is he is a deeply troubled former veteran of the united states army served at least one appointment in 2010 and 11 and iraq. your thoughts tonight. >> just that lou. more and more information as the investigat

not one republican, that i know of protested barack obama's inaugural in 2009. can you imagine if they did what they would be called? the fact is, john you hit it right on the head -- david: it is david. >> americans to celebrate the transfer of power of the united states and peaceful way. it was a fair and free election. for these representatives to put a stain on that is really a stain on their record but everybody they represent. david: final word from christie, christie doesn't that deserve to be celebrated we have peaceful transition of power in this country. martin luther king iii, the son of martin luther king, jr., is celebrating that. isn't that where we want to go this week? into no. not if you think that this president was quote, elected with the help after foreign government that is not our friend. no, we don't celebrate that. >> nobody said the result, nobody in intel said the results of the election would have changed as a result of what the russians did. thankthank you, brad and christ, appreciate it. >> fascinating. president-elect trump sharing

there is president barack obama holding his last press conference in office. responding to questions about the commuting of chelsea manning's sentence. former army intelligence analyst serving 35 years for leaking government secrets to wikileaks.

i know our military was gutted under barack obama. what do you think he is going to have to do initially to get us back up to snuff? >> here is what i think he is going to do. i haven't seen the specifics, charles. most of our units, army, navy, air force, marines, are probably 50% or less. when i was in unknit readiness, units were ready at 80 or 90%. obama administration last nine years, very cleverly, used sequestration as problem, not funded readiness, maintenance and parts, operations and maintenance dollars they have starved them from. you will see him. he will t into seltivereas whe he is increasing manpower. increasing dollars for support, new parts, et cetera. that is what you're going to see. charles: general, what about the idea of bolstering the military, not only more personnel but modernizing it? president trump talked about submarines, we need new ships. there has been a major complaint, listen i think the b-52 is still our primary carrier of nuclear bombs. >> exactly, charles. the b-52 was still being introduced when i

i mean, as a group, they were very well represented by barack obama. i mean, he very much catered to them. he was their president. hillary clinton too. loved them. promoted them. did what they wanted. the average american worker, not so well served by hillary clinton or president obama. so they feel like, you know, that they like a different team. the hollywood thing is not surprising. >> oh, it's definitely not surprising. i mean, the policies that hillary clinton espoused and barack obama espoused are -- melissa: rich people. >> not just rich people. donald trump loves rich peopl p. melissa: he's not helping -- >> yeah. he's really honestly when you look at that and twitter was hilarious saying can everyone hear donald trump shuffling trying to find his phone as meryl streep was talking? you know, when he said she's overrated and things like that, it just shows the thin-skinnedness, and we know donald trump first and foremost wants to be loved and accepted. if -- melissa: i don't think so. >> really? . melissa: no. no. i think he feeds on this. >> bu

a lot of presidents -- and, by the way, barack obama was heavily criticized for this because he was not political in the sense that he wasn't willing to engage people on both sides of the aisle and do those little things like, you know, have a dinner or play golf, et cetera, with them. donald trump out there not even in office, but he's taking all kinds of meetings, and he's taking meetings with people on both sides. and isn't that what you want? >> yeah. i think we do want to see a president engage both sides of the aisle, and i wish that president obama played the washington game a little bit more when he was president. i think he probably would have gotten more accomplished if he had. and, look, i think that it's good that he's allowing his cabinet people to have his own opinions and own responsibilities. but he's got to understand that the decisions they make, he will be held responsible for them. and he won't be able to make every decision that goes on in those cabinet departments. so he has to make sure that those people are all on somewhat of the same page. it's good to have dive

obama, it starts with being first african-american president, and i'm not sure there is going to be a whole lot left. >> ri optimistic about a better operating climate for small businesses? because that is where you are right now. that is your real -- >> i think we all we all hope an environment is going to be created that continues to spur business. that helps -- you know small businesses like our franchise, to continue to operate at high level to be able to by a lot of people, to create jobs and opportunity and build our local economies good things. >> macy's was number one seller apparel in united states this year amazon is going to overtake them. >> -- we lowed in it like you load a can of soda give you a big oversized coin five fun put it into a huge coin row accept cal that machine grabs it pulls it down deposits it stores open go in -- >> gas prices are going up. people think of that as a tax. and if they see that going up that is great for oil companies, but that is not the great for the american people. >> surprise, trump hasn't done a tweet about antitrust suit against ope

again, there is historic amount of disrespect paid to barack obama for eight years republicans tried to delegitimize him. that's the whole birther moment with donald trump at the helm saying he was un-american, he probably wasn't born here. was that really because he was black? i don't know. >> there isn't the mainstream media to investigate things but people talked about it. but that is totally irrelevant, has nothing to do with the fact that she said she is not willing to have a conversation with the president of the united states. >> even worse than that -- let me bring these ladies in on set here. rachel, worse than saying i don't want to have the conversation, she said i'm going to fight him. >> she's going to fight him. i'm not going to meet with him. look, maxine waters has the luxury of being anyone to do that in the house where she is deep in the minority, but the people in the senate aren't going to have it the way maxine has it. there are 18 seats up for re-election and those -- many of those are seats that trump won. there will be a lot more pressure in the senate to find

obama and hillary clinton. they're the ones responsible for the metastasisization in germany and belgium where the families are so upset. that's the problem. we can't go off and sue twitter. this is going to stifle innovation and that's not the culprit. the culprit is the policy, the jv policy on isis that allowed them to grow and fester and incite more terrorism. eric: i'm going to go to juan after the comment about obama being partly responsible. >> you have a policy argument, a serious argument. i think you and i would agree that no court would say you should sue the president of the united states because his policy is some-- is in dispute or somebody-- >> i was joking. >> that's what i took it to me, but i think that in general, going back, there's a point i agree with gina on. i think you're right, these people have to do a better job of keeping bad guys offment i didn't realize. you say they had verified some of these terror actors, that's outrageous. but i do think that going back to what eric said about
