find us on facebook.com/outnumberedfnc. we're back on noon eastern the "happening now," starts right now. administration. >> we have seen high profile people in trump tower. we are covering all of the news happening now. >> he confessed to killing nine black worshipers in a south carolina church. one year after terrorist massacred hundreds of people in coordinated attacks in paris, new terror putting nations on edge. an incredible story of survival sending a tree crashing down on top of this car. >> i would say it is a miracle.

>> it is all "happening now". >> we gone our second round with high profile meetings in trump tower. >> i am jon scott. >> and i am melissa francis. the golf doors. and mr. trump sitting down with rick perry and oklahoma governor mary fallon. and the president-elect back in manhattan after a series of meetings in the new jersey golf course. mr. trump reached a couple of deal. >> the art of the deal. conner is outside of trump tower with the latest for us. >> the meeting of the hour is with the big- time media excutives and filing in trump

tower with a meeting with the president-elect. the network is invited and cbs and nbc. and abc. and that meeting is off of the record. and the president-elect fitted in with a busy day of meetings for them. former governor rick perry has been here and one from hawaii. and newt gingrich and mitch mcconnell and mary fallon of hoc hoc. and scott brown formerly of massachusetts. they are mentioned in possibilities to head the energy department nothing confirmed on that. senator brown is shooting for a job in the veteran's administration and he told us that much. this is what he said. >> it was a great meeting with

the president-elect and focused and one meeting one meeting after another. and there is passions on veteran's issues and obviously, i think it is the toughest job in the cabinet is to lead the va. it has so many angels working there, there is problems as well. he will take my application and interest under consideration. >> and yeah, there is nothing imminent in terms of announcementes coming out of trump tower but that could change the way things go. and certainly before thanksgiving andy we have learned from the trump transition team that the trump family will spend thanksgiving in florida to send a holiday in the resort. >> as you know, democratic

gabert, is anything talking about the position she is up for? >> she might be considered for u.n. ambassador nothing came out since they have met. she is a democrat and a bernie sanders and if there is a place of agreement it might be on trade. she was against the transpacific partnership upon, tpp and the president-elect is against it as well. >> conle, thanks. y we could hear more from president obama after he leaves office. the president say nothing a new its conference that he might speak out if mr. trump's policy affect american values. >> as an american citizen, who cares deeply about our country. if there are iss

less to do with the legislative proposal or battle and go to it core questions about our value and our ideals, and if i think that its necessary or helpful for me to defend those ideals, then i'll examine it when it comes. so the prospect with ed martin. president of eagle former. and attorney and author of conservative case for trump. and julian epistein is former staff director of the house government reform committee. julian, the president seems ready to inject himself in to the administration of the man who he clearly did not want to be president. >> i think it is a little bit of an over read.

george bush largely faded from the scone and bill clinton was active in the spotlight as he tried to build his foundation and make the case for democrat. i think obama will be a blend of the two. he will not led the democratic party or appearing on cable news show. but raise bibillion for the library endowment and make public speeches and he will make commentary on the president. the eran of clinton and obama are largely over and it is critical for democrats to find new voices to articulate the democratic vow of the world and do it in a constructive way and it is a time for new blood and spirit inside of the democratic party. everybody understands that it. >> we played a clip from sean

hanity from former president bush 43, he is it not think it is helpful to the country or presidency if one president piles on you know, and advises his successor, what do you think? >> listen, i think the democratic party is in disarray and president obama is at a loss. think about what you just covered. president-elect trump has the most transparent p process of selecting a cabinet. he's engaging democrat and republican and rivals and former friends and all of these people in a way that is leadership. he said he wants to lead all america and obama med himself and the presidency smaller. he's talking about i will inject myself in to the debate on core values.

sore losers is what we are saying. and more and more americans are saying let the president-elect lead. he thinks maybe we will not notice. and i am glad we did. it is a discredit to him, and president george bush. you say what you want about george w policy with trump he carried himself with dignity. obama is a young man and going to it decide to it be something different than what americans expect. >> i just don't know where our guests gets that vow from. it is contrary to everything that has happen. >> it is very simple. >> let julian finish and we'll get your response. >> obama said we want to see donald trump succeed. hillary clinton said we owe donald trump the benefit of a open mind. and donald trump is starting to

show what supporters is back tracking and others say flexibility. we are not sure there is a wall or a fence and flexibility on health care and republicans talk about the need for flexibility in iran deal and democrats and the president in particular are taking a wait and see attitude. president obama find a appropriate role. he doesn't have to fade from the scone. but he will not be out there with his finger in the new president's eye. i think that is a total misread and mischaracterization of president obama. i think some republicans are seaing that. try to get it accurate. >> cross the country right now, we are seeing violence and threat and disruption of how we live by the leftest.

obama knows when you are president and you say a few words and it has an impact. if they say he doesn't know what he's doing. he's sending a message. why doesn't president obama hold a press conference and say to the people to all of the people who say donald trump is not that the. he said if you are doing something wrong and you are a supporter of mine stop. it it is for the bottom for the democrats. >> ed is getting off subject matter. what is obama's role in a trump presidency. even trump tweeted with respect to the protestors and i don't think they ought to be out there making the protests. y think there will be a time for

protest. even donald trump said that is democracy in action. >> we are talking about. the president. >> hold on. the president and hillary clinton both said let's give them a chance. >> no, he said something different. >> no, i don't think he said that. i think he said he wants to see donald trump to succeed. >> play it again. >> take a breath, ed. and give the new president a chance and when he does things that people disagree with. even republicans that disagree. democrats will take it on then. but don't make it more partisan. >> everybody on the left wants a deep breath when they don't like the argument. president obama is politizing. instead of being transparent and

communicating well. and being open. 2 or 3 nights ago. we have the people at hamilton lectures pence. >> you are are looking to get away with things. >> you you get millage of creating a partisan rift and divide and rhetoric. >> guys, i am getting the wrap and we'll have to wait and see what comes out of the soon to be former president. ed and julian, thank you both. closer look for the director of national intelligence. admireral michael rogers is director of nsa, and may be forced out after pentagon and intelligence officials recommended that president obama remove him from the agency. this is as clapper and carter

are called to testify about intelligen intelligence. catherine herridge. this is interesting one. >> reporter: thank you. mike rogers took the head of the nsan and inincluding cyber security command and not to be confused with republican congressman mike rogers who left the national transugz team. he was there to discuss leading the intelligence agencies. but sources told the anonymous post that roger ares boss clapper and ash carter told the white house they wanted the nsa director removed. citing concern about the performance and splitting up the cyber demand leadership. in a security conference in canada, roger ares defends

himself. >> i will not not comment on the media and i am accountable for my actions and i understand that. and if anybody wants to go down. fine. more and more republicans have come to the nsa director's defense and nuniz is calling on clapper and carter to testify before his committee as son as possible about p the leaks to the washington post. and mccain said any suggestion that admiral rogers is fired is unwarranted. to give context. republicans are pointing to the time of this and this is sour grapes to rogers getting that top job. >> thank you, john. a year after the deadly

french terrorist attacks, french police thwarted another attack. there was a major raid in two cities in france. hello, i'm an idaho potato farmer

the french interior minister said they are french and afghan and moroccan. now france as you know suffered a series of deadly terrorist attacks. just last week. paris remembered 130 people who died in coordinated attacks in that city one year ago. the state of the emergency still stands. there were 40 terrorist arrests this month. >> and the attack was in the planning and today, the terrorist threat in france and serious. melissa. >> that is scary and thank you for that report. john? >> right now, an investigation under way as to why a giant tree crushed an suv going through the

vehicly's roof and hitting the passenger's seat. the couple was inside of the audi and both managed to escape. >> and the wife was in shock, which i don't blame her. the timing was unbelievable. >> i would say it is a miracle. >> another witness said it is hard to believe that anyone survived, but the man and bottom inside suffered minor injuries. >> controversial reaction. why todayia hearings is closed despite the pleas from the family members of the victims. >> and winter weather closing in. and how it will affect your tranquilizer travel plans no matter where you may be heading.

>> new information on the south carolina church massacre. dylanofficer staps accused of killing nine black parishioners. since then there is a number of legal developmentses in the case. beginning one month after the deadly account. the grand jury returned a y 33 count indoiktment and in may of this year. loretta lynch announced that the government will seek the death penalty. the defense filed a motion questioning roof's mental

competency and the judge ordered a mental evaluation of the defendant. john and heather is with us. heather, the people who are affected by this, parishoner ares of the church said they are lying away slopeless because they don't know what is going on and the process is sealed. >> this part is soled and that is unusual. usually they are open to the public and family members. the judge feels as if it was open, it was bring a deep or bitter prejudice. roof may have said something offensive and he feels he mustn't expose. >> they have 500 people cooling their heels and not to read anything about the case. how do you do that with a jury

pool of that size. >> interesting thing about having a competency hearing can happen any time. this is not whether he was sane at the time of the defense. this is different. this is why jury selection can be put on hold. if he is not competent there is not a trial. >> this is not a guy who walked in and started shooting. he sat there in the bible study group and that is pre-med at this timive. >> it is not whether he can bring the insanity defense. this is whether or not he can participate in his defense. we saw this with jared laughener. he went through a number of competency hearings. this happens and everyone should want him to be found competent or be be made competent so he

doesn't have an appeal. >> how is the world supposed to know know if he is competent or not. >> the ruling will not be closed and the judge said if he is found incompetent. he will reveal the transcript so that people can go back and determine what is heard. >> i think it is a move. we have state and the feds both jockeying for the death penalty. this kid said you take it off the table i will be pleading guilty. i think it is to take the death penaltiy off of the table and without putting the community through a trial. >> you see it that way? >> i think it is not going to it work. i think loretta lynch and south carolina is hell bent on the death penaltiy and the family

members don't want the death penalty. and the judge is correct and allowing the family members to voice their concern and same time protecting the appellate process by not having it open. >> say the federal judge finds him not competent to stand trial. does the state have to abide by that? the state of south carolina could put him on trial. >> that open ones a up a ban toras box. you you bring him on trial in state charge. the that would not go. >> every four months he will be brought back. and treat him with drugs and therapy and often times they come back and are competent. i think it would go four months

and i don't think he will be found incompetent. i think there is evident that he is just fun. >> it is hard to get the death penalty in a fed case. snfrngs you would think that with enough legal muscle to get the job done. maybe the feds don't think it will happen and they will have a sympathetic jor. and the feds want to make sure he fries. >> and it is symbol pec and they will not stand for that type of a crime. >> it is a stad class. >> and the president-elect trump will tackle obama care right away. and that is sparking concerns in financial markets. repealing and replacing the affordable care act can mean for you. >> and stocks are on track to

donald trump. you have seen the dow hit a record five time and it is on track to close record highs. and folks here on the wall street to main street are optimistic that the economic policy will lift the stock market. and some of the big winners. don't forget it is comprised of 30 stocks. and look at gold map sacks and no surprise they are major financial companies. trump has widely said he plans to deregulate the financial industry. going over to the s&p 500500. this is it a broader look at the u.s. economy and these stocks showed significant gains. then you have staples and kohles and advanced autopart. more money for you to spend

a politic's reporter. and chris, let me start with you. it is interesting to see the head line. they are worried about insurers will run for the doors and four out of the five companies that provide health insurance had pulled out of the marketplace or planning to scale back in 2017. this is already happening? >> it is uncertainty on top of uncertainty. and the added uncertainty comes from the fact of having an unsettled insurance market. and we are at that point right now. and these people were thinking we give obama care time to sort itself out and right mix of consumers and the state exchange and republican critics said we will not find an equill libbium that works.

we need to push to repole and find a long- term solution and not something that is unworkable in a term. >> the president wanted to repeal and replace. and on the other hand. it is obvious from looking at the market what the challenges are are. not enough healthy people to sign up. it is expensive to baept policy and unhealthy people are not paying for what they are getting. and you can change the rheums or prices to make it work. respiratory what do you think? >> it will be challenging though. and the funny thing of obama care. it was not passed in one fell swoop. obama had to sign two different pieces of legislations. because of the way congress voted on it. and there are pasts of the ac a

that senate republicans can repole. mike pence's comment about the majority to get itty repolls that issing about. he has to deal with democrats. mainly the component that they don't discriminate. and it is it a mess for insurance companies. they are not sure when and how the law is changing. >> there is something likeable about a plan that didn't make sense. they could force them to offer insurance, but make them pay for. it you can't charge people for preexisting conditions. you will beousing more health care and so many health people sign up and help to pay for the sick people. and there is no way to make that happen. that is not the example of the

rule that needs to change. >> if you ask republicans to deputy back to two where are 08. and they have their weigh of addressing the issue. we heard over and over again in the interview that donald trump gave to the wall street journal about keeping parts of obama care, that is misleading statement. the republicans had their own talking points. but they have a different sloulgz're solution for it. and that is the same thick ever thing that goes for the parent andy we have a broader picture. >> betsy, that is what i am talking about. and he said either of those two things with preexisting conditions. he didn't say they can't charge them. and betsy. if you listen to trump's exact

words. he wants kids to stand their insurance and maybe they have to pay more in order for the system to work. and thera is a way to make sense. >> it is mrausable. they could immriment and try to make the system work. it is it charging and possible to make it work. and given that we are expecting a number of the plans available in the ac a. and premiums went up by next year. and the tricky part for president-elect trump is working with the house republicans. we haven't upon sewn evidence that trump and paul ryan are of the same mind on how to fix and replace it. and one of the centerpieces is overhauling medical care and trump is not interested in doing that. we don't know. challenging. >> chris, i am a numbers person

and i was looking at hoping 13.8 million people. we have throw 30 million and all of the time on this, for what is that thee or four percent of the population, there has to be a more efficient fix here; what do you think? >> big republican criticism and digging in the numbers. there isstrong polarity. of halfful people get it to their country. and some on med carry and medicaid expansion. it is it a small slight of the pie. and how does it affect. and we have to think about trying to it look the insurance margaret through their employers

or and that is the patient centered choice type of thing. and that is what they are talking aboutment focusing on a narrower slice of people. thank us to bokt of you. >> well, winter coming early. severe wh rockies and northeastern estateses. you can see the storms on the moi >> and with millions of americans catching the rod. we talk to making it easier.
