the iranians do not fear barack obama. in international matters, it's clear, president obama believes global warming is more important than stabilizing and protecting the world. in the face of a global. now, global warming is real. climate change is happening. but mr. obama's vision of hurting certain economic sectors in america in order to lessen fossil fuel intrusion cannot possibly work unless countries like india and china do the same thing. as everyone knows, they are not. so, mr. obama imposed regulations that hurts the american economy, knowing full well that climate change wouldn't improve for a while. does that make any sense? at this point in history, two-thirds of the american people think america is on the wrong track. but they still like barack obama. his approval ratings are about 50%. that is up to the president's credit. he has put forth in emmett java responsibility. but as the nation's leader, mr. obama has not improved the economy to any significant extent, has not diminished poverty and poor education,

barack obama is a leader in this country and will remain such. all right? even after he leaves. >> he's only 55. >> bill: he's a leader. he dodged a question that he should not have dodged. winston churchill could not have dodged that question. >> i'm not so sure about that. i have seen winston churchill -- >> he had to make a decision. >> bill: that's another example of poor leadership. there is controversy around president obama staying in washington, some people said he might set a shadow government up and undermined donald trump. he was asked about it today, will he speak out about issues? >> efforts to round up kids who have grown up here and for all practical purposes are american kids, and send them someplace else, when they love this country, the notion that we would just arbitrarily or because of politics punish those kids, when they didn't do anything wrong themselves. i think would be something that would merit me speaking out. >> bill: nobody thinks that it's going to happen, no one think there is going to be around about the so-called dreamers.

i am going to grade your loyalty for barack hussein obama. you are the most loyal soldier, i love loyalty. i admire loyalty.de you are probably his greatest defender, you are the best at it and i give you an a+. >> that is kind of you. >> sean: you defended the impossible but i give you an a+. >> i am only loyal to the facts, sean. >> sean: god bless austan goolsbee, and i meant what i said in that article. i up next, tonight on "hannity"... >> we are going to use every u tool at our disposal, through regulation, legislation, so that we can save people from this mess. >> sean: speaker paul ryan saying republicans plan to repeal and replace obamacare concurrently. finally, that is the way to do it, so how are they going to do it? up next. do n your colon. miralax is different. it works with the water in your body to hydrate and soften, unblocking your system naturally. miralax. hey, how's it going? um... who are you? i'm val. the orange money retirement squirrel from voya. i represent the money you save for the future. see? we're putting away

. >> bill: that reminds me of a man named barack obama. >> no, barack obama won begged, as did ronald reagan. >> bill: my way or the highway. >> they did kind of do that. >> bill: i tried to persuade you. it is futile but i try to persuade you. persuasion is good. we appreciate it. plenty more as "the factor" moves along this evening. brit hume has some thoughts on the first press conference today. it was a heated exchange. we'll show you that. watters talking to the folks about the inauguration. >> what would you have like to see president trump say? >> what is the actually want to do? and a clear way. >> i think he made that pretty clear. >> bill: i hope you stay tuned for those reports. in minutes. lift the burden of getting a home loan with rocket mortgage by quicken loans. [whisper: rocket] the uncertainties of hep c. i don't want to live with or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients... ...who've had no prior treat

i am not -- you know, i was very happy to attend the inauguration of barack obama. i will be attending without much joy but with a respect for a system, even though i know the system is flawed with then electoral college, et cetera. >> bill: why do you think other democrats don't see it that way you do? i do. you may remember, the second inauguration for barack obama, there was no republican boycott, even at that time, they were at each other's throats.. republicans showed up. it just makes the democratic party look bad, i think. >> well, it does because, while we get excited about reaching out to a base that includes a lot of people that really do not think donald trump is legitimate, may even loathe him, we have got to remember that we will not be a majority unless we can appeal to those people who either voted for trump or thought of voting for trump. >> bill: it's the independent americans that the democratic party needs to win back if you want to take power away from donald trump in four years. but see, i don't understand what this boycott accomplishes. i don't

okay, president barack obama led to the league and getting caught slacks. he led the league, nobody has ever gotten caught more slack than he did. donald trump is not getting cut any slack. he is got to be right out of the gate saying, okay, tomorrow, we have an investigation about what executive orders we can expect them to sign next week. now, juan, if you are a guy who resents trump's demeanor, without be accurate? then, how can you cover him fairly? you are going in with his big negative. how can you be fair, as an analyst come about donald trump if you already resent him? >> i don't resent him. you said -- him, i find him likable. it's the demeanor. >> bill: you can separate him from his demeanor? >> of course. people act different ways at different times. in fact, one of my great hopes that he will act more presidential. i think you need last meryl streep, les getting in arguments about arnold schwarzenegger's ratings, and vaccines, and -- i think for middle-of-the-road voters, you mentioned the poll numbers not being so good, the minute he does well

i see you playing now the footage of barack obama out waving.ag that was my zone. in conjunction with the washington field office agents, i was responsible for developing the tactical plan, the medical plan, the chem biological plan, mitigation plan for explosives, all of that in that three-block area. for obvious reasons, that three-block area was very sensitive because he was out of the car. i mean, that car is like a rolling tank. when he is going to get out and wave, all of your senses have to be on high alert. you have to have a h 360-degree sphere of protection following him everywhere. and it took a really, really long time to plan. we are talking years here.y soup to nuts, bill. >> bill: do you get people out of the buildings? because trump and pence are going to walk, so they say, after the speech back. so there are buildings. they are flanking pennsylvania avenue and the other streets they are going to use. do you evacuate everybody out of the buildings?a >> that's a good question. a few people have asked me that. no, what they do is, they cordot off the

bush, than barack obama. >> bill: why? >> because i insisted that you name the enemy. call the enemy radical islamists. >> bill: that was obama. >> no, that was 2002. it was bush. number two, why was i blackballed by the obama administration? because i called him on his immigration policies, his border security policies, as well as the fight against terrorists. >> bill: so those two guys. now, so much emotion invested in trump, if you have that, can you, if it doesn't work, say it hasn't worked? >> absolutely. i do it every day and have done in almost every day of myk, career. >> bill: when was the last timeh you criticized trump? >> the last time i criticized trump? early on, at one point, i thought he had exceeded himself in terms of some of his conduct. and i said so on the air. one time. >> bill: can you give me anof example? >> no, i can't recall what the example was. you are pressing me. >> bill: look, i am not disparaging you. >> you are. but it's okay. >> bill: no, i'm not. if you, in your heart, believe that he is the best leader for this country -- >> i know

in that time, he has fulfilled more campaign promises then barack obama and eight years. look at what has happened with george w. bush. this is a president who is historic and his energy, his animation, and his commitment to his promises to the american people. >> bill: you can't argue with any of that. he comes in like a tornado, he has done what he told his supporters he would do, at least partially come i do expect them to continue on that. >> exactly. >> bill: what if all of these things don't work? let me give you an example. you are an economic genius, or so with is your staff tells me. he pulls us out of a trade agreement in asia. now, the folks don't know whether this is going to help their lives are not. i don't even know. it's a shoot. >> can i help you? >> bill: no. we don't know yet. we don't know yet. but a year from now, we probably will know a little bit more. and let's say, it wasn't a good deal. let's say china and america are in a trade war, that is not helping either side. are you, lou dobbs, playpen and all, going to criticize donald trump? or is your

in 2011. >> barack obama put a pause for six months on refugees coming from iraq back in 2011. i don't remember protesters and i i don't remember lawsuits. so, i think the bigger question, if this is a temporary pause, which is designed for us to improve and look at our vetting processes and temporary, i don't think that is an outrageous idea. >> bill: here in the usa, we have had our share of migrant terror. all 19 muslim colors on 9/11 walked on in here, so, to the boston marathon murderers, muslims from central asia. one of the san bernardino colors was from pakistan. the orlando mass murderer came from a muslim immigrant family, as are the terrorist to attach the mall in minnesota. it is certainly responsible and logical for a new president to institute updated protections for this country by ordering specific, temporary immigration actions. is it not? however, it is also responsible for a federal judge to order that foreigners with the repot for credentials already issued not be punished. there should be room for a case-by-case decision making. as republican senators mccai

at the response from barack obama, he said "knock it off." boy, that's really going to scare somebody. none of that rings true. the other thing that he had made clear yesterday, he did not influence those votes. the senator from arkansas also made the point that donald trump has pronto old. certainly through explaining our defense budget, eric, they will put america in a stronger position that you can argue is against russia's, moscow's political entry. >> eric: i'd like to bring you back right after the break. >> okay, thank you. >> eric: i have more with kellyanne in a moment. including joe biden taking a shot at her boss. it don't go away. so, mr. harris, we have your fingerprints on the safe. a photo of you opening the safe. a post using the hashtag "#justrobbedthesafe" so, what are we supposed to think? switching to geico could save you a bunch of money on car insurance. excellent point. case dismissed. geico. because saving fifteen percent or more on car insurance woo! because saving fifteen percent or more on car insurance is always a

that's an interesting word, for him to basically scorch barack obama? and a little bit bush, the younger as well. >> generally, i don't. but there is a little bit of poetic justice here. i remember obama in 2009 being very critical with george w sitting right there next to him. i don't think the place where the object of your attack is necessarily unable to respond, i don't think it's the place we attack somebody. in some sense, obama, you want to say he started it. but generally speaking, the inaugural address should be much more general. look, donald trump is not general. donald trump is a specific purity he believes in something, he says it. part of his charm, part of his appeal, and the reason he is president. he doesn't beat around the bush. the other problem with the address, he said it depends on the audience things, not what we think. that's correct. but he did hang out some markers today. he made promises that are extraordinary purity he said the carnage in our cities stops as of today. right here, right now. it's like in his speech at the conv

e just like republicans wished barack obama well, and one of and wanted his presidency to be successful, democrats should want the same thing. >> eric: you two are both in d.c., that place is going to be crazy for the weekend. going forward, our people ready for the trump group? the administration? >> no, i don't think they are ready for trump and there are some on the left that think it's going to be the end of the world a week from today. i think the republic will continue. people are really just getting a little bit too worked up over this. it's a challenge to be united over. >> eric: i agree with you, bob. there'll be some some republican scratching their heads. you know what they say, drain the swamp. we got to leave it right there. bob, kelly, thank you very much. that's it for tonight, i am eric bolling filling in for bill o'reilly. he will be back on monday. please remember, the spin stops here. because we are looking out for you. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the inspector general's office has issued or has started an investigation into th

so, this is about barack obama, not about health care. because the democrats know, this is his signature, he's got his name on it. this signature thing he did in eight years. now, it looked like it might be blasted out of their in a few weeks. am i correct? >> it will take more than a few weeks but it will be blasted out of there. frankly, you opened up, bill come with numbers that are far more favorable to the affordable car. political ran a poll, they said, do you approve or disapprove of obamacare? 41% approve, 52% disapprove. but then, if you ask a strongly or somewhat, strongly approves or 19%. this strongly disapproves her 42%. and you can see this on rentede pea, the strength of the antipathy towards obamacare in the next question they asked, which is, do you want to repeal it? and part, repeal all of it, you want to expand it, do you want to keep it as is? 32% said, repeal it in part, 27% said come up repeal all. that is a total of 59%, saying, let's repeal it in part or completely. 24% at said expanded. only 11% said keep it as i

barack obama. how do you react to that? >> he is also said the opposite. he brought up the conversation and the need for reform has to be discussed. he, in fact, endorsed the freedom act, which was passed in 2015, which, although some people criticized it as being too moderate, it was voted on by 200 republicans, more or less, in the house. 35 republicans in the senate. >> i think most americans want more security. at the same time, they don't want individuals like snowden to go out with national security, that could cost people's lives. we have seen that on a number of levels. what i would want you to react to president obama, you have to take him on his word that he didn't think that snowden's actions were good for the country. how do you react to that? >> we show in the movie is 2008 election at the promises he made for reform and transparency. part of the problem for snowden was that he didn't give to those words. >> you say obama -- >> he doubled down on the bushn' administration's surveillance, and other forms of warfare he created. >> isn't it possi

all our founders, all of our leaders, including jackson and lincoln, reagan, and even barack obama, have conceded there is some kind of higher power guiding american destiny. i love the quote by bismarck, he says, "i know that god grants special protection for imbeciles, lost children, drunkards, and the united states of american." made that continue. >> bill: identified is good company, but it's a good quote. michael, thank you very much. watters on deck. he's roaming around times square on new year's eve. you can watch what happens next. thope to see you again soon.. whoa, whoa, i got this. just gotta get the check. almost there. i can't reach it. if you have alligator arms, you avoid picking up the check. what? it's what you do. i got this. thanks, dennis! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. growwwlph. it's what you do. oh that is good crispy duck. >> bill: back to the book segment, "watters' world," jesse watters is working on new year's eve. not exactly sure what he is doing in times square, but he was there. and he did double duty for
