quite that tacky, but -- >> i think we can muster up something here in studio please please plea. >> america's news headquarters starts right now. . >> we are waiting to see if the trump transition team announces another cabinet position here today. >> plekt trump holding at least three high level petings today at trump tower. he will visit with victims and first first responders before going to iowa for the next leg of his victory tour. ivanka trump may be following in her father's footsteps by stepping away from the business. peter is joining us live from democrat where the

president-elect is. >> he is meeting with two more secretary of state nominees. one is from the business world, one is from the military. as for the former ceo who just left trump power, he used to run boeing and then ford. two companies he has singled out as a candidate and a president-elect. boeing just a few days ago for spending too much on the next generation of air force one. and for ford for sending the manufacturing of cars out of the country. they want to highlight that ford never took bailout money from the government. as for the four-star advocate, they were talking about the top diplomate job. he was a possible addition to hillary clinton's ticket. he was also hyper critical on

mr. trump's answers on questions of foreign policy. >> terrific. we talked about the world, defense, our state of our milita military, we talked about cyber security, and i found it to be very interesting and very informed conversation. >> the last update that we got from the president-elect was that the decision about who he wants to be, the next secretary of state, should come some time next week. >> we have been waiting for that o one. >> there is a report today that calls into question his plan to fully separate himself from the business. there are also new questions about which of the trump

children will stay on as executives and who may leave. ivanka trump may be thinking about a move to washington. he was asked about this in the lobby and he said we need to wait until next week to get the full details of the business plan because that is when mr. trump will hold a press conference with his kids to talk about that. >> thank you so much. >> one of his most recently staff picks raising eyebrows, linda mcmahon, one of the owners of the world wrestling federation. >> she is qualified, she turned a small business into a big multinational business. >> but the top democrat on the house small business committee does not agree with that.

releasing a staemt that reatemes "this selection is proof that plekt trump's commitment to small businesses is about as real as professional wrestling. i mean, guy, linda mcmahon, she is a hard core ceo. she took a small regional business and built it into a public corporation. >> he said she is qualified and of course she is for the reasons you just laid out and she ran twice for statewide office. she well suited. she and her family donated to trump and that is fine. when i read the statement from

congresswoman velasquez, she in her bio has no experience whatsoever in running businesses. she has been, for decades, a career politician. before that, a college professor. i would say the woman that ran a very successful business has a leg up on this congresswoman that is running this committee on this very subject matter. >> is seems like people keep hanging themselves by jumping to bash whoever donald trump puts out there without thinking it through or without thinking about the ramifications. for example ian milheiser. this is a tweet, i'm sure the governor of a small, rural landlocked state full of people will know a whole lot about china and stuff. this was related to another pick

that trump made when he was talking about his ambassador to china. >> he has be clowned himself several times on twitter in the last few weeks. it may be time for a breather from twitter. in his defense, he did rescind the criticism because terry branstad, he has a long standing relationship with the chinese, and two of president obama's ambassadors to china were from land larked states full of white people and we didn't hear about those. >> yeah, saying it was a landlocked state full of white people, he was smart enough to go back and delete the tweet later and you saw it was gone,

that shows down the line, they're forced to rethink, but the emotion in the moment, we've all felt it. it is pretty close to after the election, right? >> yeah, twit sere in particular where immediate can put something out there into the public serious when you look back at something that you just spewed out maybe that was not the best thing. that is what this guy did in this case. >> we have all been there, including the president elect. thank you, guy benson. we have a fox news alert for you right now, the house approves a spending bill as they are bidding farewell to minority

leader harry reid. hillary clinton is set to be present for a event. chuck shumer will assume the role of minority leader. mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. mic, it is the end of an era in the senate, isn't it? >> no question about that. harry reid has been in congress 30 years, the last 12 at senate democratic leader. he gave advice to young people and they offered this tribute. >> today the senate recognizes the democratic leader for his many years of service to nevada, to the country, and to his party. we wish him and his wife the best as they set off on their next journey. >> i didn't make it in life because of my athletic prowless.

because of my good looks, or because i'm a genius. i made it because i worked hard. i tell everyone, whatever you want to try to do, make sure you work as hard as you can at trying to do what you want to do. >> they bottomed a lot over the years but they said they always tried to keep it professional and not personal. >> does this mean the government will stay open? i don't know if that is good or bad by the way. >> it seems to be looking good, it would fund the government through the next decade. tackling some of the issues in this country. they faced tough reelection

bids, the package contains four months of benefits for coal miner retirees. they do not appear to have the votes to stop the continuing funning resolution. they can only delay it, but they could force a weekend session if they want to see if they can twist arms longer. >> mike emanuel, thank you. authorities say a suspect accused of shooting two georgia police officers is not dead. just moments ago, swat teams raiding a home after suspects were there. authorities say he turned the gun on himself. >> when someone does something like this, yw what the next step will be. you don't know if they will hurt

someone else. i was scared he might take a hostage. if it had to turn out, i'm glad it turned out like to did and i'm glad no one else got hurt. >> would you call him a coward? >> yes, that's what he was. >> the suspect was wanted in yesterday's fatal shooting of a georgia police officer. a second officer is hospitalized in critical condition. moving stocks with a single tweet, but what will his trade policy be as president, and what is all of the talk about tariffs and what does it mean for you and your wallet? ed henry will explain. a deadly massive pile up on an interstate. search and rescue efforts are now under way. plus this --

in yet, but he has already starting -- both sides of the aisle are clashing over trade. >> you have top republicans like speaker ryan, raising up cautionary flags even before the president-elect has been worn in seeing the 35% tariff could backfire and hurt the economy. so they're saying go slow while conservative economists like steven moore are saying keep your eye on the biggest prize here. >> i don't want to get into a trade war. i want companies built in america. and i think lowering the tax incentive is the best way of doing it. i think by doing tax reform, easing the cost of regulation, appealing obama care, you can accomplish what he wants, which is bring jobs back and bring businesses back to the united states. so we're creating good paying jobs in america.

>> so steven moore, who is not involve in the transition, is saying look, if you get the big picture stuff done, you can cut reform. that will help the economy enough that the tariff issue is not important at all, melissa. >> i think that 35% tariff is just where he is starting the negotiation with the companies if it went through what does it mean for american consumers? it wouldn't be good. >> that's right we talk about a 35% tariff, what does that mean? moodies said here is the impact of a tariff like that. the u.s. economy maybe going in a recession. maybe 3.3 million jobs not created that businesses might have had in the pipeline and the u.s. economy would be 4.6%

smaller. and that's why you see republican leaders on the hill saying wait a second president-elect trump, slow down. this is his opening gammet. people are reacting positively so far, and that is making a lot of people feel good right now. >> absolutely, i don't think he would do it, but it's important for the other side to think he would, so shh, don't tell anyone we don't think he will do it. a high school student is shot -- >> let's go. wow. after threatening classmates with a knife. what we're learning about that teenager. and markets continue to rally in the wake of the presidential election. a closer look at the big winners. hello, i'm an idaho potato farmer

time for a quick check of the headlines. an appeals court weighing whether or not a world war i memorial shaped like a cross violates the first amendment. the surgeon general slamming e-cigarettes are a public health hazard. and former astronaut john glenn has been hospitalized for a week. a teenager is in critical

condition after being shot by an officer at his high school. the officer was forced to take action because he was attacking his classmates with a knife. >> wow, that is scary. >> jonathan hunt is live in los angeles with more. >> according to witnesses, there was a fight between two students, possibly three. and the student that was eventually shot pulled out one or possibly two knives. he is wondering around waving them, at least one of them, in the direction of other students. a school police officer

approached, ordered him to put down the knife or knives. when he refused the police officer fired a single shot, we believe it struck the 14-year-old, we're told he was, in the shoulder area, and he was taken to the hospital and the police chief picks up the story here. >> once the threat was stopped, the shooting officer immediately began to provide medical aid to the student until emergency medical assistance arrived. the student was transferred to a hospital where he is being treating for a gunshot wound. he is listed in critical condition. >> the officer that fired the shot is on paid administrative leave, that is procedure after an exteincident like this. >> it must have been terrifying for anyone there. >> you would imagine terrifying

for the students, but it is interesting to see very few of them appear to be running from the scene, and several of them, as we can plainly see, took out their cell phones to take video of what was happening. for the parents more terrifying when they heard about it. here is the reaction from students and parents, listen here. >> he is going around saying she going to shoot and stab everybody. he finally did it. >> i ran -- i just feel nervous. >> now, in the last few minutes, school district officials up in reno held a news conference, melissa, thanking the officer for acting so quickly saying it could have been a lot worse. they also said the entire situation a reminder of the value of life.

>> it really is, jonathan hunt, thank you for that. so the bulls are running on wall street with stocks going further into record territory right now. and the trump bump in full effect. could a christmas miracle bump the dow over 20,000. and trump getting in a fight with the leader at carrier about how many jobs were created. >> thank you -- >> it's carrier's money. >> no, it's his money. >> come on. >> after that, i hit him. round two is coming up. here comes charlie gaspirino. ad♪ ♪spread a little somethin to remember♪

look at the dow. since trump won the election, they have chalked up 1300 points. and today, 500 points away from the key level of 20,000. so stocks at record highs today. another record closed out. it o would be the 13th since the election and a 22nd record close. so let's unpack it a little bit. they have driven the industri s industrials. the banks, goldman sachs up, trump talked about and corporate tax rates have been talked about coming down.

all positive for this u.s. economy. folks on washington love it from wau wall street, back to you. >> all right, thank you so much. president-elect trump and his plane departing from la guardia. he has been slamming the union leaders at the carrier factor. the union leader stating that he overstated the number of jobs saved. >> they're counting 350 or more that were never leaving the country at all. he did a lot of negotiations and i have like wise. if you're dealing with people's livelihoods, you should know what the numbers are.

>> mr. trump blasting back on twitter. chuck jones, president of the united steelworkers 1999 has done a terrible job respecting workers. no wonder companies flee the country. terrible, melissa. he does it with the hands. he has very feminine hands. i'm not sure that is a great impression. i think while trump is in office, we could just assume the numbers are long. he likes to speak in high personly. >> i tend to agree with you. remember he say thousands of muslims were -- it was a big pop ligs, and there was a lot of --

there was maybe not thousands, but celebrations. he does exaggerate. you do worry about it when he exaggerates with his finger on the button. so he is 300 jobs off? it's not like he didn't save 800 jobs, right? >> so trying to piece together what to make of trump and what he is saying. the wall street journal is comparing him to lady gaga. saying he is a performance artist. making a performance artist president may be thought to be a mistake, but that's only true if he fails. if the trump method succeeds, it will be important to understand

his art from the start. he tweets, he speaks in hyperbole. >> i think that is the bad part, it's one thing to have a great macro economic policy which he does. stock market is up, bank stocks up, we want banks to lend. small businesses get started and people go back to work. he has great policies about lowering taxes, getting rid of useless regulations. fixing obama care, hopefully. you don't want him to go to twitter and manipulate stocks to get his way with companies. that's extortion and it's the flip side of what barack obama would do when he picked winners and losers. >> i am glad you brought this up, i totally disagree with you as i did yesterday, take a look.

can i just -- hang on. >> we have no idea. we don't know -- >> we know that that is our customers trump works. >> he destroyed billions of dollars -- >> destroying billions of dollars -- >> so martha quit after that and that's why we're here now. >> you're a glwrong. you said in indiana when he gives a tax break, he is paying for it with taxpayer dollars. >> the great economist sarah palin understands this. i know you went to harvard, but this is what i said, okay -- >> you better back that up. make your point. this is what i said. the carrier deal is pretty good. he went in there, he negotiated and said give us a shot and

we'll do x, y, z. they said yes, and they did a little capitalism where they gave incentives from the state that are taxpayers funding that -- >> it's not because when you give a tax break, do you feel like to is charity from your neighbor in new york or are you keeping your hard earned dollars. you're keeping your own money. >> you're picking winners and losers. >> no you're not. >> you're arguing with me about the wrong thing. i don't have that much of a problem -- your way of doing which sarah palin understands better than you. >> why are you -- >> she understandings the capitalism and you don't, you went to harvard and she went to alaska or somewhere. what she understands is look at what states pick winners and losers. we give certain businesses tax

breaks and we don't fix the economic climate and then they leave the state. >> that's what i said yesterday. >> i'm saying take carrier out of it. some parts are bad, some are good. when you go to zoom of them and you say do what i tell you or i will crush your stock, that is facism. my good friend, charlie. thank you. >> a federal judge denying a mistrial request for accused charleston church shooter dylann roof. this is after one said he deserves to go to a pit in hell.

>> the witness at the center of all of this is alicia sanders. she is a survivor of the shooting, and she had members of the court in tears and that included members of the jury panel. wiping away tears as she said she held her 11-year-old granddaughter tightly against her chest to keep her quiet during the shooting. and she saw dylann shoot her 26-year-old son as he tried to persuade him to stop the attack. but she said that he is "evil, there is no place on earth for him except a pit in hell. the judge said they were given an emotionalage religious statement rather a defense. that is really going to be the

main issue for this jr. to decide. both sides agree on facts surrounding last year's massacre. his lawyer says he expects a guilty verdict, but they are intent on seeing he is sparing execution and spends his life in prison. but their influence may be limited because roof plans to dismiss his defense team once the guilty faze of the trial comes to a close. he wants to represent himself instead of a lawyer when they go to the sentencing phase. >> a tough story to cover. thank you. growing concerned about the future of the democratic party now that they lost the white house and seats in the senate. our panel weighs in on that as well as what joe biden is saying today. liberal democrats don't watch a lot of fox news except

for self defense. i'm serious, think about it.

we're keeping an eye on ohio now where president trump is set to meet with survivors from an attack. plus the president-elect could have at least three former generals serving in top positions in his administration. is that too much military for what is supposed to be a civilian government? we'll break it down on shepherd smith reporting at the top of the hour. top democrats reflecting on the 2016 campaign as there are new questions about the party's future. i find myself embarrassed by the nature and the way in which this campaign was conducted. so much for the shining city on the hill. and a clinton aide writing

"i know how to be a gracious loser, but it's also important for the winners of this campaign to think long and hard about the voter who is rejected them and i have not even much evidence of such introspection from the trump side. my guests are joining me now, thank you for being here. what do you make of that group of remarks there? >> sure, i thought it was particularly interesting, referring to the city on the hill. that is in reference to john winthrop. he is saying that the united states needs to be a shining beacon of light for the rest of the world. we have not lead by example for quite some time before this election, and a lot of that is

due to obama's policy to lead from behind. i think there is a large sense that the left is trying to just shut down things they don't agree with. and now we have this whole election that has been one, big, huge yelling match, largely due to, you know, liberals gaslighting views they don't agree with. >> it seems like on the democratic side that there is not a lot of introspection on right, but it doesn't seem like it on the either side either. if comey kept his mouth shut we probably would have got an few more seats and elected hillary. >> he thinks it was not the under lying message, but that it was comey's fault.

>> i think this is on both parties. we talk about the city on the hill, it's not one party on the hill, it's both and how we represent the country. i think the comments had to do around the race issues, white nationalism, what we allow, and the need for leaders, and this again goes to both parties to use their platforms for good. to use them to bring both parties together and to be listening to those not only with them but those against them and why they're against them. elections are won on fear or hope. and this one is a fear-based election. if we want to move to hope, we have to listen to everyone. >> i don't know about that. people who voted for donald trump said they did it out of hope for america to be great again. in terms of donald trump says that he feels like he is inheriting a nation that is divided, it's how you look at it, joe biden is kind of

agreeing that the nation is very divided and self selecting. listen. >> we self select these days. we watch what we agree with. folk who's are conservative republicans i doubt they much much of cnn, or msnbc. liberal democrats don't watch a lot of fox news except for self defense. >> i'll let you give your answer. are we permanently divided here or do we find a way to come together? >> i think okay, the comments about liberals watching fox news for self defense. we have statistical analysis that shows that liberal people, or people that think that way, block their friends on facebook more, they're less tolerant, and they self select their news. if you look at environments like that like college campuses, there is a culture of if you

don't agree with us, you should sit down and shut up. >> exactly, people are astute? what he is saying. >> marjorie? >> i would say breeze one sidedness and everything being about liberals i wouldn't make assumptions about your opinioneds or who you are based on pointful the whole point is we need to look at both parties, everyone is accountable and it's a willness to listen to things we not agree with. >> when the economies gets humming ill witness be easier for everybody to get along. an iconic product from an iconic brand, but you better buy it quick if you want it for christmas. molly? >> reporter: what is old is new
