it's a great organization. check it out if you want to know more. have a great thanksgiving. bill: you too. you will be out a little bit? martha: yeah, enjoy the family, enjoy the weekend, we will see you next time. jenna: fox news alert the trump transition team kicking into high gear with three major appointments today. welcome to happening now, everybody. i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. happy friday. senior correspondent roberts confirms president elect trump has offered three people key positions in his administration and those offers have been accepted. alabama senator jeff sessions will be nominated as attorney general, michael flynn, white house national security adviser and gop mike pompeo of kansas to be cia director. more meetings including one with governor mitt romney. live outside trump tower in new york with the latest, doug.

>> hi, john, we just saw mike pence and he said the transition is going great. >> great progress. great working with president elect, the man of action, we've got a great number of men and women, great qualifications come forward to serve this new administration and i'm just humbled to be a part of it. our agency teams have gun to arrive at agency in washington, d.c. this morning. we are beginning and confident will be a smooth transition that we will serve as to move this country forward. make america great again. >> that is not to say that it's going to be easy for sessions and pompeo. national journal to be the fifth most conservative senator in the senate, sessions if confirmed

will revamp the most politicized department of justice in modern history in addition former justice department lawyers testified in confirmation hearing for u.s. attorney many, many years ago that he had racially insensitive remarks and there's mike pompeo, he's accepted the nomination. harvard law school graduate and former tea party member will become under scrutiny and apologized for a 2010 article that campaign tweeted out which also made racially insensitive remarks. national security adviser pick lieutenant mike flynn will not face such scrutiny although leftist consider views on radical islamic terrorism too extrem. nsa is not subject to confirmation hearing in the senate. tonight we understand a conference call that mr. trump will be heading out of trump tower tonight headed for the trump national golf club in new jersey where he will be meeting with mitt romney for the

weekend. this is truly highly unusual in terms of perceptions what happened in the campaign, last spring when mr. romney secured donald trump saying he would do immense harm to the economy, many criticisms from romney, trump is reaching out to one-time opponents to try to make amends, seek reconciliation, mr. romney up for consideration as secretary of state. jon, back to you. jon: interesting set up at trump tower, doug. essentially the interior lobby there, a lot of movers and shakers live in the building but the interior lobby is kind of like a public park, isn't it? >> it really is. it's open to the public. there's a sign outside of trump tower that says open to the public 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. every day of the week. that's paufort of the deal that donald trump struck with the city of new york to build this tower many years ago. it's a legal requirement that it remain open.

you have all of the vip's coming in there and people on the street going in there as well. it's a mixof vip's and everyday people in stores. a million japanese tourists trying to get picture of prime minister. jon: you never know who you will see in the lobby. martha: more on the trump transition team announcement. editor in chief of the daily column and fox news contributor. we finally have announcement that we have been waiting all week, nina, you said something stands out to. >> in the first round president trump is turning to loyalists, he has a long way to fill the cabinet and so on. we will see if at the end of the

day whether he decides to have more of a creative tension shall we say between different perspectives and insiders and outsiders and whether whether he decides to go more for loyalists, but the thing to keep in mind is that, you know, the press makes a lot about divisions within the republican party and, yes, there are, and, yes there were on donald trump's policy, but somebody like mitt romney is critical of barack obama and with very outspoken about how we have to stop leading from behind and how we need to have strong leadership in the world and i think there's a broad array of republicans who agree on that and the other thing to keep in mind is, i think, donald trump is a candidate, wants to see america leadership on the role but not necessarily troops on the ground. i think we also need to go back on comments on campaign trail where he was critical of the

trillion dollars spent on middle east conflicts in the past decade. so it's more complex than, i think, what you get to see in the press coverage. >> what are your observations then. >> well, i think if there was any question of whether or not donald trump was going to honor campaign promises, today is the first major signal that he absolutely will. specially with the picks of senator sessions and general flynn to give them prominent roles in the administration suggest that is there's no chance that donald trump is going to veer right now from his primary points which is this, in senator sessions case, if he's going to become attorney general he will enforce the law. i don't foresee jeff sessions is going to be anything but advocate for overall federal law enforcement, right? so actually enforcing immigration laws as they exist on the books and in the case of general flynn, i think you have a situation where, you know, throughout the campaign donald trump has said, look, obama

cannot identify the real problem which is radical islamic terror. general flynn in the position of adviser is going to have trump clearly and that's the big issue and think it is number one threat is radical islamic terrorism. jenna: let's talk about lieutenant general mike flynn, nina. he is publicized as being a registered democrat like trump was many years ago and interesting that he's perhaps a registered democrat and former u.s. military operator just spoke to fox news on the phone and spoke to pentagon producer lucas thompson and said lieutenant general mike flynn one of the most accomplished lieutenant professionals and has plenty of combat overseas. about that appointment in particular, what does that tell us about the trump administration and what we are going to see from them. there's multiple point of views

and definitely somebody who came to logger heads with people in the obama administration and with obama appointees and thought that this administration did not take the emerging terror threat seriously enough. they sat on the laurels after crushing al-qaeda and that we didn't see the isis threat coming. so he's got that side of things, there's been some reports in the press that he's -- he's more difficult to work with and so on. so we will see all of that play out and jeff sessions, of course, is another interesting one in that he is going to be very, very much at the center of the trump agenda, which, of course, is immigration and jeff sessions opposed the immigration efforts to -- immigration reform to create a path to legalization here in the united states, a bipartisan effort that people like marco rubio were part of but became a very difficult

thing for a lot of those senators to carry later on as the campaign rolled out. he's going to -- he called that amnesty and he's going to be a central figure, i think, not just in enforcing the law but in any kind of legislation on immigration that comes through congress. jenna: just a little bit more on the creative tension that nina minged in the first part of the answer, i'm curious what you think of the created tension as being layed out specially this weekend with the visit of mitt romney. we have also seep meetings with governor nikki haley, secretary of state kissinger, these folks were not fans of donald trump and it's interesting that's he's inviting people that opposed the most to meet face to face. what does that tell us as a leader? >> he is trying to sure up criticism and like to get along with these people. clearly they have arranged meetings with democrats all week, mike pence meeting with

leader pelosi, for example. there's a real effort by the trump transition team including the president elect himself to sort of reach out to many people with whom he's had opposition. also he seems like he wants to build a team of people who disagree. look at the two people he has made stop in the white house, reince priebus, equal footing in the white house. i don't know if anybody said in public, this is a team of rivals, he's begin to go actually build a crew of advisers who don't all agree and might help him come to better decisions that way. jenna: interesting, our government is built on creative tension as well between branches of government. we will see if that's, indeed, taking place of the team. we haven't heard from mitt romney since march on our network. it'll be interesting to see what he has to say if he speaks at all. great to have you both. thank you very much.

>> thank you. jon: what a meeting that's going to be. president elect donald trump taking -- talking a lot in his campaign about securing our borders. coming up, what mr. trump might be able to accomplish when he takes off in that regard. southern wild fires impacting more than thousands of acres burned, thick smoke is blow to nearby businesses. >> it's been a little bit down because a lot of people don't want to get out in the smoke freedom.

jenna: fox news alert on dozens of wild fire burning out of control in the south. doz -- now we are hearing land suspect the only thing that's being affected. folks nearby are staying indoors because of terrible air quality and that's taking a major toll on small businesses. >> we would have anywhere from

80 to 90 people for the evening dinner time and right now downstairs we have six at the bar and a table of six. so that's 12 people. jenna: thick smoke continues to be a major issue as it blankets much of the region. dozens of people are being treated with breathing problems and schools are keeping children inside for recess. jon: president elect donald trump famously pledged during campaign to build a wall between u.s. and méxico. the two nations have been separated by portions of fencing and walls for some time now as more than 60 nations mostly in europe are installing barriers at their own borders. live in los angeles with a look at all of that, william. >> well, jon, u.s.-mexican wall in 1993, while no wall is perfect, typically determines if and where it's needed and most will tell you. >> we will build a great wall

along the southern border. >> whether you call it a wall or fence, border barriers are booming not just in the u.s. >> at end of world war ii there were less than five border walls anywhere in the world. as late as 1989 when the berlin wall came down there were 145 border walls. today almost 70. >> greece, hungary, israel, countries are building walls to keep immigrants and refugees out. >> what the walls are meant to do is to be a form of deterrent, much harder to cross the border with the idea that that would discourage people from trying to cross. >> we have a lot better idea of what's coming across the border and more likely to apprehend it. >> along the southern border agents rely on 350 miles of existing fence. >> we might only have 30 seconds to a minute before we lose sight of those people. the point of the fence is to y move in traffic in areas where to the u.s. >> it's not enough to secure the border.

so last year house republicans proposed erecting 570 miles of double fencing like this one in yuma, access road in between. while fences do deter and stop illegal immigrants, they need man power, sensors and surveillance to really work. >> so now the question is where do you put it along with the sensors and cameras that allows you to see people coming and the roads that you need to intercept them. that's the border security and debate to come. jon: you'll be there to watch it for us, i'm sure. thanks, william. jenna: media reports after transition team in chaos, president-elect trump has made three appointments and former senior adviser to president obama saying the media isn't fair to mr. trump. a fair and balance debate on all of this next and with the holidays just around the corner and the presidential how do you

jon: there are lots of new questions how the mainstream media are covering president-elect donald trump and many reporting that the transition team was in chaos, a former senior adviser calls unfair. we are talking about david axelrod. he was chief strategist for obama's transition team. we hadn't made any major

appointments at this point in 2008. i don't remember being criticized for it. he added lots of reasons to be concerned about at real donald trump transition but the pace of announcement is not one of them. that's not a fair shot. let's take it up with media panel today, judy miller, reporter author and fox news contributor, lynn sweet, suntimes. were you surprise today see david axelrod to the defense of the trump team? >> i was surprised and relieved because i do think that the concern about the, quote, complete chaos, as described in new york times in the trump camp during transition is really unfair and it's just an indication that the media don't like donald trump and that they really want to beat up on him any any way shape or form that they can. i think there are other reasons to be very, very concerned about this transition that have been well documented and that we've

talked about on this show, jon and lynn but the pace is not one of them. look at how many -- how fast they are moving on the national security appointments. i worry about things like which direction is donald trump going to go, is he going to appoint people who share his isolationist impulses and prorussian impulses or is he going to adopt a more kind of internationalist and classical republican stance. those are the things that we should be watching for, not whether or not it takes two days or three days to appointment critical people. by the way, slower is actually better in some respects because these people are going to have enormous power and he's going to have to depend on them because hopefully they have the experience that he doesn't. so take your time. jon: lynn, michael cohen says i don't want trump to succeed, i want him to fail similarly. wow, that's a proamerica position there.

>> is that columnist? jon: yeah. >> columnists have opinions. that's his opinion. it's different than a discussion about whether or not main stream media, national outlets, i take, that you're talking about are complaining. cot -- to the question i want to take about being surprised about axelrod's tweet yesterday. we did touch on that. i think you have to keep your eye. we are umpires for the moment. if you want to call balls and strikes, be fair. the pace of the appointment is -- is not out of line. i agree with judy, slow is better, get it right, chaos not really, but the substance, who these people are, what their views are, those are the stories, not whether or not the interior cabinet appointment is

made thursday or friday. jon: the man had the title to the office for about ten days now, judy. >> right. jon: it does seem to be a little bit premature to be piling on about the pace of the names that he's picking for the cabinet. >> i think it is premature and very unfair to mr. trump and those are words i never thought i would be rutterring but, in fact, it is, what i do worry about is lack of transparency, the fact that we don't really know what kind of calculations he's making about who he wants in key positions. i worry about the fact that he may not want to be as forthcoming with the press as other president elects have been. look, much more important are things like the lack of coordination with the state department before he took calls and spoke to foreign leaders. the state department has protocols, it has guidelines on things and american presidents should and shouldn't say.

according to what we read in the papers, he didn't bother to get in touch with the state department to say what should i say and not say to president when he became the first foreign leader to call him. so those are the issues, you know, who is being appointed. what views do they reflect, what direction is he taking the country, not whether or not he's going to do it in three to four minutes. and by the way whether or not there are conflicts of interest within his family, his company's holdings, all of those are major issues. why beat up on him as david axelrod and lynn correct i will say because he's going to do something on tuesday rather than wednesday? i don't get. jon: jeff sessions, the senator from alabama, u.s. senator choice to be in house. is there cry of jeff sessions and qualifications for the job? >> well, there should be a look at everyone's qualifications.

he's had controversies in the past whether they are relevant now, so one thing that president elect trump will have the grapple with is that when you have a sudden confirmable position which is a cabinet secretary, any one senator, republican or democrat, can stop, can stop it. they can put a hold on it. do i don't have to give a reason. that forces some kind of consensus pick if you want to have slots picked. it isn't just session. every pick is going to be looked at and scrutinized. some people you know more about, some not. front page of "the new york times" today had a deep dive into former mayor giuliani's finances, you could expect that with everyone who is going to get a big appointment. jon: they do deserve thorough vetting but the president also deserves to pick his team and we will see whether the media allow him to do that. lynn sweet and judy miller. >> if you held true then merrick

tbarland should get a vote. [laughter] jenna: we were asking him about the term oil that was being reported and i said, what words would you use to describe the transition team and he said, in transition. [laughter] jon: yeah. jenna: that was a fair description that we received. you to consider all points of view. jon: we have until january 20th to get an administration in place. jenna: speaking of a transition, right, what he's telling our european allies about what's going on with the trump administration. new developments in a murder case made famous by a hit netflix series, why accused killers won't be released from prison right now. more on this coming up

jenna: president obama sitting down with key european allies to discuss transition to trump administration in washington. president meeting with the leaders of germany, britain, france, italy and spain. visit marking the last of its kind before president obama leaves office in january. senior political correspondent mark emmanuel is live in washington with more. mike. >> hi, jenna, part of the trip trying to explain to allies and their people the whole president-elect trump phenomena in 2016 election. >> trump was able to tap into some of those anxieties but probably millions of voted who voted for me and supported me

and this time also voted for donald trump and it just indicates that some of this is less ideological and more just an impulse toward some sort of change. >> germany where the president just was has been a meaningful place for him. in 2008 in july as a candidate mr. obama went to berlin to deliver speech in front of about one hundred thousand people and it was there he received rock star type treatment. now at the end of the term, endorsed chancellor angela merkel to a fourth term. trying to negotiate agreements with russian president vladimir putin. >> if we just cut some deals with russia or leave smaller countries vulnerable or creates long-term problems in regions like syria that we just do whatever is convenient at the

time, that will be something that i think we will learn more about as the president elect puts his team together. >> this trip featured president visiting the birthplace of democracy in greece, he called for a course correction to ensure that the benefits of technology and globalization are more broadly shared. there mr. obama said we cannot look backward for answers, we have to look forward. jenna. jenna: mike, thank you. jon. jon: new information on a story we have closely followed here on happening now. a judge orderers brandon dassey to remain in prison. dasse ye was accused in involvement of rape and murder along with uncle steven avery on october 31st 2005 freelance photographer had an appointment to visit auto salvage yard to take pictures of vehicles. she was never seen again.

the sheriff found bone fragments, camera and a cell phone in a burned pit near steven avery's trailer. avery was charged with the crime. the following year in 24006 his nephew brandon dassey is arrested as coconspirator, on november dassey found guilty of charges against him. he's sentenced to life in prison. in 2013dassey's appeal and request for new trial are denied. this year a federal imagine trait granted a petition to overturn petition and just this week on november 14th, u.s. district judge ordered dassey released from prison pending an appeal of a decision to overturn convictions. yesterday though the court issue a stay locking dasse ye's release which was scheduled to come today.

joining us now to discuss all of this our legal panel doug burns, bryan a criminal defense attorney as well. so this kid who has been in jail for nine years now is not going to get out because the prosecutor what thinks the judge is wrong? you want to explain it? >> it was actually more procedurial than substantive. let me explain, when the habius corpus petition was granted based on the fact that confession was coerced but the judge said that if the prosecutors don't move forward with retrial he is to be released in 90 days, 90 days from august 14th, middle of november. the state appeal and the appellate court basically said, wait a minute, let's just stay it, meaning in simple language, we are going to not make any decision on his release until we can actually look at the entire picture.

so it's really procedurial, not so much saying he must be jail, we will hold it until we can look at the full picture. jon: anybody who watched the documentary, bryan, it was to be fair it was one sided, it was from the point of view of steven avery and brandon dassey, anybody who watched the video of the so-called confession of brandon dassey when he tells investigators, i guess, what they we wanted to hear. hey, i have to go to school now after confessing to a murder, the guy is not 100% mentally there and the judge even said that in his finding. >> shame on the wisconsin state attorney general for blocking the release of brandon dassey and i will tell you why. because the judge issued a 91-page order. he sat and carefully reviewed this and he said that dassey should go free. there were restrictions, jon, imposed.

he can only live in a certain part of wisconsin. he can't own a firearm, he can't go near -- he can't apply for a passport. people should know that dassey had the mentality of a 9-year-old. i had a little girl who is 10, i couldn't imagine her being interrogated without an adult or lawyer there. >> let me read from that 91-page report that bryan just mentioned, judge found investigators claimed to already know what happened on october 31st, the day of the murder and assured dassey he had nothing to worry about. the repeated false promises in conjunction with all relevant factors specially dasse ye's age and intellectual deficits and absence of adult. >> i read through most of that opinion myself and it's interesting because the police can make certain misrepresentations, they can

say, we know exactly what happened, we know all of the facts. jon: they said that to him. >> the much more problematic is when they said, don't worry, you're going to be fine, that's what bothered the magistrate. to echo what you guys are saying, his limited intelligence, no lawyer there, no parent there, when the mother claimed she asked to be there coupled with the coercion, that's why the judge ruled the way he did. >> this was pay to play justice, you know, the pay to play with hillary clinton on the clinton foundation. now i heard too that the state attorney general wants to talk to brandon dassey to find out whether he will agree to not testify for steven avery because avery's lawyer is trying to get a new trial now. we will let you go free for now. we won't retry you as long as you agree to not do anything that will hurt our chances to make sure that steven avery

stays in jail because his lawyer -- his lawyer is trying to get him out based on the blood, the blood testing. his lawyer is saying that there's new dna testing that can show that avery's blood in toyota van was older than the van. >> ironic because avery had been cleared for a very serious crime in mid-80's because of dna. but the question that emerges, will the fact that the judge threw out confession will have impact on avery's chances for release, jon. jon: my understanding that avery has exhausted his appeals. >> he has. his lawyer recently filed a motion to try to get a new trial based on there's new dna testing of blood to determine how old blood is. the blood -- the blood was planted in the toyota.

>> real quick, you exhausted all of your appeals. habius is separate. jon: fascinating case. we will try to keep viewers updated. thanks very much both of you. jenna: going with your gut. a new study says the hair standing up in the back of your neck or sinking feeling in your stomach may be the right decision of making a decision fast. plus politics, family, thanksgiving, volatile mix specially after this election season, what do you do when you're gathered around the table and somebody doesn't agree with you, how should you handle it? next (pop) campbell's tomato soup and grilled cheese. (more popping) go together like being late and being grounded.

made for real, real life.™ we asked people to write down the things they love to do most on these balloons. travel with my daughter. roller derby. ♪ now give up half of 'em. do i have to? this is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. but, if we start saving even just 1% more of our annual income... we could keep doing all the things we love. prudential. bring your challenges.

jenna: new study suggests going with your gut may really be good advice, according to researchers our bodies can react physically to certain people and situations. for example, getting the feeling in your stomach academy or feeling that you can't articulate. a paper on science reports those help us making quick decisions. let's talk with clinical psychologist and attorney as well. it's tough to put our finger on exactly why we feel a certain way and we can doubt ourselves. talk to us about reading our body's signals appropriately. >> so emotionally intelligent people like yourself have this ability called interception and what it means is that they can pick up on fis -- cues and

things happening in their environment that deserve attention and thought. it's not so much that they necessarily make decisions based on the gut feelings, it's that these gut feelings give them sort of a head start on thinking about things that average joes like myself my take a longer time notice we are happening. jenna: i talk about the emotional comment because specially with all distractions around all of the time, dr. russell, you have the phone and everything going off but you might feel a certain way but sometimes hard to trust yourself because your mind takes over and think, maybe i'm just overreacting. what would you say to someone who feels a certain way but then talks himself out of it?

>> that said, we actually do base a lot of decisions on a daily basis on snap judgments and first impressions because they service well in many cases. the part of your brain that processes emotions picks up things on faster than part of the brain that does critical thinking and that's why we can get a feeling of fear before we even know what it is we are afraid of or we can get butterflies in our stomach when we like somebody before we know what it is about them that we like. this can be valuable information but can get us in big trouble if we don't then try to think about why am i having these feelings, back it up with critical thought. that's the best. when you've got the feelings and critical thought backing them up, pointing in the same direction. jenna: interesting. one of the reasons why you wanted to talk about the gut check is because that expression has been used with politics, too, people going with their gut casting a ballot and we know the results. we have thanksgiving next week. there might be some tough family conversations so we wanted to help our viewers.

the wall street journal wrote a piece talking about what you should do, handle a situation where you're walking oh into a family event where not everyone agrees and you know it's going to come up, what should we do? were first of all, we have to get our own minds right what happened here. this was a lesser of evil's election, nobody's dream candidate was on the ballot. so everybody had to pick the best they could from the options that were available, good people pick each candidate, the fact that somebody we know picked the other candidate doesn't mean that they loved everything about that candidate. it means that they decided ultimately that that was the candidate who was least likely to do things that would be harmful to that person, their family, their career, their finances, the country, whatever. so going into the holidays where you're likely to be in the company of people who felt the other way, i think number one

try to avoid this. gosh, we are happy it's over. there are so many things we can talk about, what we are thankful for, sports, family news. i would say try to avoid it. if somebody else brings it up, try to defuse it quickly by saying, thank god it's over, we are also glad it's over, we hope the best for the country going forward and try to switch the topic to one of the other topics. don't gloat, if your candidate lost, don't bait people by disparaging the one that won or the supporters of that person and if you're around somebody who is gloating or baiting, you know, feel free to just say, hey, let's agree to disagree and not spend our time together this way. jenna: i have to read the one line from the wall street journal piece from a family therapist. they said this, a holiday gathering respond to a gloating trump supporter that you weren't for him but think he's a great president. get a glass of wine and find someone who shares your view. is wine really a solution?

can we take that advice to heart? >> no moderation. i think the point there is feel free to excuse yourself. you don't have to engage and you ought not to engage. if you want to keep the peace, if you want to keep things as pleasant as possible which we all should at the holidays, having enjoyable time with your loved ones, feel free to excuse yourself for a few minutes and say, i need to get another drink. doesn't have to be wine. i need to step outside and get fresh air because a lot of times just even a few minutes of leaving changes the dynamic and when you come back, people are already on some other topic. jenna: there's a lot of great football games on. >> that's right. absolutely. jenna: great to have you, thank you so much. >> thank you, happy thanksgiving. jon: i'm sure turkey baked or defried would be better. jenna: great topic of conversation. jon: the election of donald trump put stock markets into record territory as investors

harris: there you go, plus our #oneluckyguy who is out here. top of the hour, back to you. jon: we will be watching. thank you both. the federal reserve looks like it is getting closer to raising interest rates as soon as next policy meeting in december, what am i talking about? fed chair janet yellen signaled that move yesterday in testimony on capitol hill. right now stocks are stalled just a bit. right now another state official in dallas, texas made similar comments in exclusive interview with fox business and peter barnes caught up with kaplin in a conference in houston. he joins us now. >> if the fed does raise interest rates in december or a little bit later it would be a small increase, a quarter of a percentage point and that would make it a bit more expensive for consumers to go out and get a car loan or to raise rates on

certain credit cards, on other types of loans, business loans, for example, the fed has said it's only going to make the move if it's confident that the economic recovery is continuing, that the economy is getting stronger, job creation is on track and we have seen recent indicators that suggest that it is. unemployment rate at 4.9% and the fed has said that the rate hikes that come, the process will be very gradual to make sure that it doesn't short sir cute the economic recovery, cut it off prematurely. now that donald trump has been elected president he's talking about all kinds of stimulus programs and other measures and that could change the fed's calculus here and rob kaplin said that the fed does have to take that into account as it moves forward at the pace of raising interest rates. jon: peter barnes, thank you.
