that's it for us. see you back here at 10:00. >> summmerconish is with you no. i am michael smerconish. we welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. according to a declassified intelligence briefing, the hack of the u.s. election has been sourced to the one and only vladimir putin. the report says the russian president aimed to hurt hillary clinton and help donald trump but the evidentiary mains frustratingly classified. and trump seems dismissive. former nsa and cia head general michael hayden is here.

last year, chicago had more homicides than new york and l.a. combined. is the surge tied to law enforcement stepping back? and gop stonewalling kept antonin scalia's seat vacant. with trump about to name his nominee. will democrats respond in kind? finally i grew up decidedly middle class, still think of myself as in touch with my roots. with the election outcome and test i took and failed caused me to make an important new year's resolution. this year i am bursting out of my bubble. first, russian president vladimir putin ordered an influence campaign aimed at boosting donald trump and harming hillary clinton, that's what u.s. intelligence found and told the president thursday and the president-elect friday. after being briefed, trump released a statement saying the outcome wasn't altered and his tweet blamed democrats for their

own vulnerability. last night came the release of a declassified public version which left me wanting more. having a president-elect at odds with his intelligence community forces the public to have to choose sides but we don't have enough to go on. >> as one suspects, putin didn't cause the hacking. i was nevertheless disappointed reading that declassified report due to lack of specificity. when i said so last night via twitter, the immediate harsh response was indicative how in this case our partisanship doesn't stop at our borders. i tweeted where's the beef, somebody please direct me to the evidence. i want to see more. my observation caused something of a twit storm. it is classified. dang, i used to like you, you jumped on the crazy train. i have been done with this nazi in sheep's clothing months ago. smerconish has been a trumper since day one. and i won't be watching this weekend. really?

have we reached a point where a demand for answers earns such disdain? here is how i followed up. i want an e-mail, a text, an affidavit, an intercept, something. i am a trial lawyer. i deal in evidence, not generalities. people accuse me of doubting the findings. i don't. but given the stakes, i want proof, not just assessment. joining me, the man with the expertise, former director of the cia and nsa, memoir titled playing to the edge. general michael hayden. general, how can we the public be sure? >> well, michael you raise great questions, and frankly, welcome to my world or welcome to my old world in which an awful lot of the things we know can't be shared because we need to keep going back to this well in the future, michael, to learn things to keep america safe. look, i read the same document last night. had the same sense of

disappointment. probably had a little more understanding as to why it was a brick short of a load as you described it, but michael, again, let's go back to the language that we did read. high confidence, and definition of high confidence is multiple sources consistent with other information and good sources. so when you've got the community coming together and giving high confidence judgments to these things, i think i certainly have confidence that that's a true story that was put out there, even though i haven't been able to see the fine print. one other point, michael, very quickly, is that the trump campaign, the trump transition team has not complained about the facts of the case, even though they said some other things that want to seem to push the conclusions a bit off to the

side. in any other circumstance, maybe a brick short of the load would be okay, but in the aftermath of having been briefed, he said russia, china and other people are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure of our governmental institutions, businesses and organizations including the dnc, there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election, including the fact there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines. there were attempts to hack the rnc but the rnc had strong hacking defenses. sounds like he is saying there was no impact on the outcome, so move along. and also casting dispersions on the dnc saying you were lax, it's on you. >> well, look, we are responsible for our own cyber defense, so that's certainly a true statement, incomplete, but let's deconstruct the entire statement. first of all, that it had no influence on the election. we don't know that. in fact, that's unknowable. we're done talking about it,

certainly with me as an intelligence officer. that's just not anything we can discover, certainly not discover through intelligence information. but most important to me, michael, was the front end of that comment which turned this issue into a larger global, we have a cyber problem issue. i concede we have a cyber problem, but that was not the issue yesterday. the point of that briefing yesterday, michael, was we have a russia problem. and the trump transition team tried to get off the x from that question by simply pushing it over here and saying we have to do better cyber security. they're walking away from the core issue, michael, which is the behavior of the russian federation. >> general, i read and you know from prior conversations, enjoyed your memoir, want to quote from it. >> sure. >> you say the people at the nsa including me come from the same political culture that motivates all americans, a reality often ignored by ideological purists

in the debates we have over security and liberty and my liberal arts education reinforced the idea that freedom was indeed a fragile thing. the context there is that you gave a speech two days after september 11 to the entirety of the nsa. and i think what you were saying is our objectivity, we intel professionals, our objectivity is being challenged. is donald trump challenging the objectivity of the entire intelligence community? >> he is rejecting judgments from art and craft of intelligence, michael, we believe to be objective judgments. look, i'll be the first one to admit, sometimes occasionally they aren't correct judgments. i get that. this is very hard work. but the criticism of the intelligence community's judgments on this issue have been that the community is incompetent and politicized and prejudiced and that's simply not

right. michael, i think the dynamic here is that we have a president-elect who has been able throughout the campaign to by and large get away with creating reality in a shape that was useful to him at the moment, and now we have an intelligence community that doesn't do that, that creates reality based on their best understanding of the facts at that moment. and those two mind sets are clashing in front of us as we run up to the inauguration. >> then you factor in, general, his failure to take a pdb on a daily basis, he didn't want to hear the same thing, same words every day for the next eight years. a mistake? >> i think it makes the intelligence community's job harder. i like direct, i like often, i like exchange with the first client, but michael, that's just on the intel community. we have to adjust to the tastes and to the character and the way

the new president learns, so we're going to have to go back to the drawing boards and figure out a way, how do we get into the head of the new president, the new legitimate president of the united states. and i have suggesting in other writings, the gateway might be through the vice president who does get the briefing six days a week and whom the president does seem to trust a great deal. so maybe you put a lot of energy into how you brief him and let him be your messenger into the small meetings in the oval. >> there was a lot of concentration in that report that we each read last night about propaganda efforts by rt. i'll put a quote on the screen from the report i am now referencing. i don't doubt that. but i thought that's not what we were expecting or looking for. rt's coverage of secretary clinton was stenltly negative and focused on her leaked e-mails, accused her of corruption, poor physical and mental health, ties to islamic

extremism. the report was heavy on that sort of thing, as you say, i am going to use your quote a brick shi shy of the load on substance. would you say to your friends in the intelligence community, come on, we have to show something, lift the skirt a little bit to give the american public something so they know trump is just not being full. >> jim clapper, outgoing director of national intelligence expressed pretty much the thought you just expressed, michael, we are going to lean as far forward as possible to make this case. i agree with you, when i read the document, i wish we could have gone even further. look, i wasn't there. i don't know the specific tradeoffs. my instincts are the same as yours and the same as jim. it would be better, the more we got out there. and frankly, michael, putting that appendix in there in terms of what our team was doing really isn't the core of the story when it comes to effecting american opinion. but michael, it's really

important, if you're in the baltics, in the ukraine, rt does create an information bubble that really distorts reality for the people living there, and that is somewhat of a strategic threat there. >> final quick subject for general michael hayden, thank you for being gracious with your time. what frustrates me the most about this, the way so many americans are suiting up in their usual jersey. my god, what happened to the day partisanship used to stop at the water's edge. >> michael, we should be the one institution of government, the intelligence community, that is above the partisan divide. and what we've seen since the election has been putting the intelligence community right smack in the middle of the middle lane of a hyperpartisan atmosphere here in washington. michael, intelligence can't survive in that lane. it will die. >> general hayden, thank you,

sir. >> thank you. >> joining me, cnn national security commentator mike rogers. mr. chairman, respond to what you heard from general hayden. he shared my assessment, he has the expertise, you have the credentials, but the report that was issued last night to the american people was a brick shy of a load. >> yeah. clearly there wasn't enough information to draw any of our conclusions on the outside. but what the general pointed out and those of us who are interested in trying to find out the level of confidence in assessment by the intelligence community, you have to walk away from that thinking the cia had a high degree of confidence, the fbi had a high degree of confidence, nsa had a moderate degree of confidence, which tells me there's a lot of information that those analyst groups and they're all separate came to that conclusion that they think they're in a position to say that vladimir putin ordered it, they have an interest in at least impacting

the election, i don't believe they were for one candidate or another, i think they just wanted to cause confusion, lack of confidence, and by the way, with all of the debate over the last week, they've been successful in that. >> right. in ordinary times, that would be enough. but we have a president-elect who frankly has been casting his lot with julian assange. i want to show you a clip of what assange said earlier this week to sean hannity, ask chairman rogers to respond. >> can you tell the american people a thousand percent you did not get it from russia or anybody associated with russia? >> we can say, we have said repeatedly over the last two months that our source is not the russian government and it is not state party. >> mr. chairman, you said earlier this week somebody needs to march into donald trump's office and tell him who julian assange is. okay. let's assume you walk into his

office. what's at the top of your list. >> well, first of all, you have someone who is a fugitive from the law, he's wanted on sexual assault charges, that's why he's hiding in the basement of an embassy for several years now, number one. number two, he has caused the leak of information harmful to the united states national security along the way. i almost, you know, not seeing the inside information, you could buy the fact that julian assange didn't know that it came from a russian, was caused to get to him through a cutout of the russian government. that's plausible. but the problem is he has other information that he is eager to leak that would hurt the united states, and united states' interests. giving any credibility at all is harmful, not smart, and i argue at the end of the day it is going to be dangerous because other nation states will use it as an outlet to hurt the united states. you should never give, a, a criminal this much credibility

by engaging with a u.s. president, let alone the information that he will continue to leak in days, months and years ahead. >> you have served at the highest levels of government. reflect on how you think this puts pressure on general mat is, extremely well credentialed individuals that donald trump, the president-elect, tapped to surround him. how must they be feeling about the events we're now describing and discussing and that i just discussed with general hayden. >> i mean, those folks in the intelligence business or business of national security are obviously hoping for a bit of a change on january 20th. there comines a point the campan must end for both parties, by the way, for both parties. i think this whole public floging of the intelligence community in the last few weeks and pushing of the intelligence community by the current president of the united states

has been a disservice to the very difficult job that our intelligence community has. but it also, this is the other part of this is that it sends a message. imagine if you're int tehran or moscow or north korea and thinking you know what, my regime, my government is up to no good and i want to help the united states, give them information that keeps the world safe, if you have to risk your life, commit an act of trees on, if you have a big public fight about the confidence and credibility of our intelligence services, not only do you hurt our folks' morale, you're also sending a message to those people, if you don't trust them, maybe i don't trust them either, that's dangerous for long term health of intelligence collection so that the next president can get the information that he needs to make a good decision to keep the united states safe, so we need

to take this out of the political debate as soon as we possibly can and get back to regular order. remember, he is going to own the combination to every lock, going to have a key to every cabinet january 21st. that intelligence community, he will set all of the priorities, his administration will set the collection priorities, where we go, how we do it. he will have the ability to do that. you don't want to damage the one institution that we have that is nonpartisan, that doesn't look at the world in a partisan way, that can collect that information to do the things you want. i think mattis and kelly will be fine, great leaders, strong national security credentialed individuals and very confident. mattis, i look forward to the first conversation in there, it would be a hoot to be in that national security council when he lays out an agenda, well researched and it would be a lot

of fun to be in that room to hear that conversation. >> mr. chairman, thank you. by the way, mike morell channels a lot of your opinions in the times which everybody should read. what are you thinking about this. here are tweets flowing in @smerconish. get it off the air, claims to be a trial liar, ba, he is a russian agent. is this what we are in for for 2017? i ask to see the evidence. the former head of the nsa and cia shared my assessment, but i am now the russian agent. coming up, president obama, another one, well put, usually pay no attention to your bias. president obama's hometown was the number one u.s. city last year in a category no place wants to win, deadliest. is it because the chicago pd is stepping back. perhaps you saw my next guest,

brian warner, a former cop. about to join me. >> you have a 911 call, go to the 191 call. if you want aggressive patrol looking for people breaking the law shall that's not happening as much as it was. >> what do you mean they're not as proactive. >> they're not, how could you ask them to be and expect them to be. >> because it's their job. they signed on to do that. >> it is my job to go to work, listen to your 911 calls and respond to 911. that's the basic ability of my job. if you want me to do the basics, that's what i'm doing now.

i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but no matter what path i take, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. ask your doctor about eliquis.

i need to promote my new busi can make that happen.et. business cards? business cards, brochures, banners... pens? pens, magnets, luggage tags, bumper stickers. how about foam fingers? like these? now, get 15% off making your company stand out. staples. make more happen. siebz. because i'm a woman, do you think i'm going to crack under pressure or conquer the field? defy expectations any day with always infinity. made with flexfoam, absorbs 10x its weight. rewrite the rules. always. i use what's already inside me to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what's within me

with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin. it helps activate my body to do what it's supposed to do release its own insulin. trulicity responds when my blood sugar rises. i take it once a week, and it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen and i may even lose a little weight. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. trulicity is not insulin. it should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take trulicity if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid cancer, if you've had multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to trulicity. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms such as itching, rash, or trouble breathing; a lump or swelling in your neck; or severe pain in your stomach area. serious side effects may include pancreatitis, which can be fatal.

taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite and indigestion. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may make existing kidney problems worse. with trulicity, i click to activate what's within me. if you want help improving your a1c and blood sugar numbers with a non-insulin option click to activate your within. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity. 2016 one of the most violent years in chicago history. 762 homicides, more than new york and l.a. combined. 4,000 shootings, increase of 1100. as killings and shootings rose, police activity fell. some say that's due to what's described nationwide as the ferguson effect. chicago had its own videotape showing a white officer

controversial shooting of black teen la quan mcdonald. for a year, justice department has been investigating chicago pd use of force. consider this. in august of 2015, cops stopped and questioned over 49,000 people. a year later, those stops dropped to less than 9,000, down 80%. at the same time, arrests were off by a third. joining me, former chicago police officer, with 18 years on the force, was wounded in action, suffered ptsd. brian warner chair of the organization known as chicago police survivors. brian, i was watching on my cell phone outside philadelphia. my take away was chicago cops feel under siege and are taking it down a notch. is that a fair assessment? >> it's not. i'll have to clarify what you saw on 60 minutes. i wasn't given the opportunity to finish my sentence. the police department was

reeling, if you look at twik201 you talked about the mcdonald video. locally mayor and elected officials were blaming us, talking about a code of silence, nationally you had presidential candidates vilifying police for political gain. more importantly, you had officers gunned down, protecting the same citizens protesting against them, and you had law enforcement being ambushed and shot because of the uniform they wear. the emotional and physical trauma from so many directions had dramatic effect on police officers. i don't care what profession you're in, so much trauma and energy forced on you, you have to step back, pause, reevaluate. there was a reflection period and there were some officers that stepped back and realized, reevaluated. but to go to fetal position like the mayor suggested, that never happened. the true reason why the crime,

not why crime has spiked, one of the major factors crime spiked is aclu report forced on the police department. that report is a two page report that used to be a single index card. and it is hindering and effecting the way officers police. it slows them down, slows down the at to stop more people. with all of that said, good men and women of chicago police department, embarrassed the people put the brunt of the blame on them, took over 6,000 guns off the streets last year. if you think about the ripple effect, how many lives did that save. how much senseless violence did that prevent, taking 6,000 guns off the street. people don't want to mention that. they want to talk about the police are laying down, this is why crime spiked. >> i'm glad you're clearing the air. and i hear you. sounds like part of the key part of the interview got left on the floor at "60 minutes." i want you to finish your

sentences. >> thanks for giving me that opportunity. >> well, here's what i was unsettled about. i was unsettled by the mcdonald case, we can run that video again, everybody has seen it, but the perception it left me with was chicago pd didn't like the fact a police officer was charged in connection with the 17-year-old, the shooting death of the 17-year-old. he was shot 16 times and video seems to show him moving away. let me finish my sentence, then you can have the final word. >> i apologize. >> and i said to myself geez, i would hope that the police officer's response would be hey, we want something like that to play itself out in court, if a guy got shot 16 times who wasn't posing a danger to cops, then maybe that cop was out of line. that's what left me unsettled. you get the final word. >> okay. the reason the police department, front line patrolman

is upset about this is because it is a political animal. never heard the police department say don't release the video. it is awful to look at, but it is an awful situation the policeman took. when the facts play out, you will see that. it was politicized once again by the mayor. only two people didn't want it released were two people running for elected office. the state's attorney, anita alvarez and rahm emanuel. they had the most to lose by it. if the police department put that out, explain the facts, let people know truly what happened that day, i think a lot of people have insight they don't have now and may have a different opinion how police do their job each and every day. >> is this anything else you came here to cnn today to make sure you get off your chest that you want the opportunity to say that you couldn't say on "60 minutes" on the first of the year. >> i ask, you made several inflammatory, not inflammatory, people are looking at situations

directly after a police shooting, people are taking to the streets, protesting. ten minutes after the shooting in baltimore or maybe new orleans, these people ran to the streets or milwaukee, they go outside, start throwing rocks at the police, don't even have the facts, don't have the officer's back or offender's back, they assume a police officer shot somebody, that must mean they did something wrong. think of it, police officers are human beings, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, people in your community who are just going to work, trying to do the right thing. when you continually vilify the police and keep bashing them, the end result is that you're going to have crime spike. >> i am fine with everything you just said. here's my final word. i'm fine with everything you've just said, just so you also agree the bad cops need to get weeded out and those who exceed authority using deadly force need to be prosecuted.

that's it. >> 100%. and you know how we are trained in chicago and know the state statute when to use deadly force, when those facts come out in court, we will have different situation. thank you for the opportunity. >> brian warner. >> please pray for our law enforcement. >> will do. thank you for being here. up next. my mailing address says pennsylvania but the election results were a wake up that i reside in a bubble. plenty of company with both sides of the aisle. can we do anything about that. only had 8 supreme court justices for a year after blockade after the death of antonin scalia. will they do to a trump nominee what they did to merrick garland. chris countries is here. >> this they don't appoint someone who is good, going to oppose tooth and nail.

>> apparently there's a new starred n standard, to not confirm a supreme court nominee at all. i think that's something the american people will not tolerate. everything your family touches sticks with them. make sure the germs they bring home don't stick around. use clorox disinfecting products. because no one kills germs better than clorox. 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 injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis. same nose. same toughness. and since he's had moderate alzheimer's disease,

the same never quit attitude. that's why i asked his doctor about once-a-day namzaric. (avo) namzaric is approved for moderate to severe alzheimer's disease in patients who are taking donepezil. it may improve cognition and overall function, and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. namzaric does not change the underlying disease progression. don't take if allergic to memantine, donepezil, piperidine or any of the ingredients in namzaric. tell the doctor about any conditions including heart, lung, bladder, kidney or liver problems, seizures, stomach ulcers, or procedures with anesthesia. serious side effects may occur, including muscle problems if given anesthesia; slow heartbeat, fainting, more stomach acid which may lead to ulcers and bleeding; nausea, vomiting, difficulty urinating, seizures, and worsening of lung problems. most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, dizziness loss of appetite, and bruising. (man) dad and i shared a lot of moments. now we're making the most of each one. (avo) ask about namzaric today.

after spriemz justice antonin scalia died last january, they vowed he wouldn't be replaced in election year, refused to hold hearings much less vote on his nominee merrick garland. the court remained at 8 members for nearly a year. as soon as donald trump is inaugurate rated, he will nominate a new justice. bill democrats respond in kind.

joining us, chris kunz. you told me yesterday you think republicans stole a seat on the supreme court of the united states. are you going to let them get away with it? >> michael, what i think we have to do is continue to uphold the role of the senate, our constitutional role, but not necessarily consent to nomination of a supreme court justice. the republicans held this seat open for yearly a year by refusing to not have a having, not have a vote. i think we should have a hearing and a vote. i don't think it is fair and responsible for us to do the same thing to them that they've done to us and continue to grind farther downward any possibility of our respect and support for the supreme court. but to be clear i don't think we should vote to confirm a supreme court nominee who is well outside the mainstream of american legal jurisprudence.

>> what's your gut on the list put forth by candidate trump as to those individuals he would contemplate putting on the supreme court. i don't know that you studied the list. do you have a gut feel for them? >> i know a few of them, i do not know all of them. you ask me for a gut feel. he was a candidate at the time running to try to win over the most conservative elements of the republican party, my hunt or assumption is he may at that point have been putting forward names that would be among the most conservative he could possibly find among potential candidates. let's roll back here to weeks after justice scalia passed away. before president obama nominated someone to the supreme court i was calling on him to nominate a con ses us confirmable candidate, and in judge merrick garland, chief judge of d.c. circuit, he certainly did that. he is among the most seasoned, circuit court judges in the entire united states, has been confirmed by the senate of the

united states by overwhelming bipartisan votes in the past. he is not a partisan bomb throw error judge who has a record of dividing, rather has a judge has a record of leadership, consensus and uniting the d.c. circuit. it is my hope president-elect trump will turn away from bitter partisan warfare over this empty supreme court seat, change direction and nominate someone confirmable. that's not what the list put forward by president-elect trump as a candidate would suggest. >> i played sound going out of my last segment of mitch mcconnell. do we have that, can i roll that for chris coons. >> apparently there's yet a new standard now which is to not confirm a supreme court nominee at all. i think that's something the american people simply will not tolerate. >> that's what they did to garland, right?

that's exactly what the gop did to judge garland. >> it is not only exactly what they just did to garland, what they did was even worse. they refused to even hold a hearing, let alone give him a vote in committee or a vote on the floor. and i think in the 100 year history of the senate judiciary committee on which i serve, this has never previously happened where a nominee for the supreme court, i think there were two exceptions where the nominees themselves withdrew, but i think it has never happened that the american people were denied an opportunity to get a sense of what that nominee would be like by having thorough hearings. and i just want to bring us ahead to next week if i could, briefly, michael, we're going to have confirmation on the judiciary committee, foreign relations committee and five other committees next week as the trump administration, president-elect trump's folks and allies in congress try to rush through their nominees for attorney general and secretary of state and epa secretary and a

dozen other major positions, all in one week. that will largely prevent us from doing our jobs as senators of having thorough and detailed hearings. >> that's not right. >> so the american people can absorb in a timely way. >> that is not right. senator coons, thank you as always. appreciate you being here. >> thank you, mike. this week, the president-elect modified his controversial plan to build a wall between the u.s. and mexico, instead of making mexico pay up front, he says america can pay and then be reimbursed by mexico. the former president of mexico have i sen tee fox responded on twitter in no uncertain terms. trump, when will you understand i am not paying for that fing wall. be clear with u.s. taxpayers, they will pay for it. president fox joins me from guadalajara, mexico. mr. president, i am looking at a huge headline in today's new york times, trump's insisting that mexico will pay for the wall. has something changed?

is mexico paying for the wall or not paying for the wall? >>. [ inaudible ] >> by anybody, there's no way mexico will pay for that wall. on the other side, making them think that mexico will pay for it. and to build the wall, he promise he will get that money from mexico. there's no way mexico will pay for that wall. >> have there been any conversations you're aware of president-elect trump's incoming transition team with anyone with

the mexican government about how perhaps this could take place? >> i am sure things are going on the minister in mexico was responsible for bringing trump to mexico while campaigning, because he had some friends within trump's team. would be like the good, the bad and the evil. he is going to be the good guy, try to construct a possible good relationship with united states, going to try to make a good deal out of nafta negotiations. on the other side, mexico must get out of its reserves the bad guy, it is incredible, many

corporations like nissan, ford, gm, that he go to tax upon them if they don't build the factories within the united states. and he absolutely lost history in he who doesn't learn about history is making the same mistakes. general motors, ford went broke. just years ago. they had to rush to save corporations from bankruptcy with tax money. it is incredible. now they're going to repeat the same story. big disadvantage to gm, to ford to compete with cars manufactured abroad. not only in mexico.

i don't know why he hates mexico so much, to take the relationship we have between mexico and united states and canada, there's no way that global corporations, u.s. corporations will survive by forcing them to manufacture within the united states. that's not the way to take charge. he is mistaken on that. >> when you say i am not paying for that fing wall, you are speaking in universal language. thank you, sir. still ahead. have you ever walked on a factory floor, have you or your spouse bought a pickup truck? if you haven't answered yes, you may be living in a bubble. i have my own personal new year's resolution, and it is to burst out.

i once failed a quiz consisting of every day questions. my score was only 42. whereas americans who spend their lives among the working class, they average a 77. the quiz was in the 2012 book "coming apart." questions included, have you ever walked on a factory floor? who is jimmy johnson? not the coach. have you or your spouse ever bought a pickup truck. since leaving school have you ever worn a uniform. murray's book and quiz proved his point as to how isolated america's upper class has become and explained what that

detachment means to the working class where interaction between the two is so limited. my poor results should have prepared me for the disconnect i ff felt. and then the christmas break brought even further evidence that i've been living in a bubble. mine is a virtual gaited community. defined by things like my zip code, where my kids go to school, my political registration, my health consciousness. even the color of our christmas lights. and the tv shows that i watch. i'm more into the crown than "duck dynasty" my bubble is at odds with my roots. my grandparents were pennsylvania coal crackers with

tv. my cam pannion and informing me that trump is the only shot we have of turning this around. he also said he's delighted that hairy reed is retiring after, quote, all that spending. my retired breakfast companion enjoyed his biscuits and gravy and said it is no longer his watch. actually it is. in the meantime, i've made a new year's res lau year's resolution. to have a greater awareness of those not living in my bubble. i have resolved to keep an open ear and be a better listener. my analysis will continue to be evidentiary based. but you can look for me at cracker barrel, shopping at walmart, driving my sedan less, maybe even lingering in the parking lot at eagles home games instead of side stepping
