he went back and forth for 20 minutes before police got him down. >> 20 minutes? >> yes, he did. they arrested him. but he had 20 minutes of -- >> were there people on the bus? >> have a great weekend. >> "fox and friends" starts now. thank you to the great, great people of iowa. i also want to give a very special thanks to our veterans. lot of veterans in this room. thank you. thank you. we'll honor your service, your sacrifice and that really begins with defending and respecting our american flag. i believe we're in the process of putting together one of the great cabinets that has ever been assembled in the history of our nation. do you like it so far everybody?

we're not going to be the stupid people anymore, folks. we're not going to be the stupid people. because from now on, it's going to be america first. going to be america first. very simple. the pages will be authored by each and every one of you. >> live from new york city. >> it's friday. >> good to have you here. >> it can't be friday. >> it's fun. we're glad you're here. we have abby. abby is at the machine shed. isn't that a great name for a restaurant. that's in urbandale iowa, where donald trump was yesterday. >> isn't that a great name,

ainsley. i'm frosting the cinnamon roll, the size of my head. doors just opened. >> this is a caramel pecan roll. these things are insane. that's what they come for. the doors just opened. we'll be talking to people in iowa about mr. trump's speech last night. also on my flight yesterday, i was sitting near the governor of iowa, the soon to be ambassador to china. i had to grab him after the flight and get an exclusive interview only seen later on this morning. we'll be here all morning long. >> i understand to get the exclusive interview, you didn't have a camera crew but you had an iphone, right? >> yeah. zero makeup, you guys. my iphone. i apologize for the quality. but it was great to get him. >> that's awesome. >> he introduced the event last night. it was good to grab him right before. >> good for you. congratulations on that interview. >> eat those cinnamon rolls. >> those are midwest portions. >> she's right.

>> that's why you live in the midwest. that is a cinnamon roll. >> awesome. >> iowa, the state of my birth. >> you saw donald trump last night. can you believe he interrupted the bill o'reilly show. live from hive i hall. 6,000 people in attendance. i read some of the people behind him and close to the stage, those were actually vips. they were volunteers who worked during the caucus. >> that's smart. he's rewarding them. >> that's right. that's what this thank you tour has been about. usually you don't see them again for two years or four years. donald trump came back to iowa and said hey, listen, this is where it all started. thank you. >> several things impressed me about what he's doing. after he speaks, he goes down into the crowd and he meets with them. doesn't just sign a few autographs. he keeps going and going and going. also, we showed the clip, he talked about respecting the american flag. the crowd went crazy. there were some hecklers and protesters there. he said i think you're actually

on my side. he looked at the crowd, they just don't know it yet. >> a lot of them rejected donald trump and now they're hearing what he's saying, looking at how he's conducting himself. they got an eyebrow up. this is not the guy i thought he was. >> all these shows on fox, talking about the cabinet and having these military individuals and some people are krit kalg critical of that. do you all want to be strong. our enemy is strong. we need to be strong. >> do you want to win. >> you're going to be tired of winning he said. >> we're ready for that. >> listen, the governor of the great state of iowa, terry bran stad, the longest serving american governor was in attendance. not only on abby's plane but there last night. did a little talking because he will be the new ambassador to china. he has made six trade missions to china on behalf of the iowa. he's a friend of the china

president. goodman to have on the trump team. he talked about how he's putting together this cabinet that's a bunch of allstars. >> in filling my cabinet, i'm looking for people who fully understand the meaning of service and who are committed to advancing the common good. i believe we're in the process of putting together one of the great cabinets that has ever been assembled in the history of our nation. do you like it so far everybody? >> it does sound as if the big pick will be released either next week or the week after, secretary of state. >> the list gets long and then short and then long and then short. >> and then this is where we are right now in the state of play with secretary of state. mitt romney, rudy giuliani, general petraeus, bob corker and a couple of businessmen that emerged recently. the former ceo of ford and

boeing, turn around specialist as well as rex tillerman of exxon-mobil. tillerman is kind of the front-runner. he is a guy who has had business dealings as the head of exxon-mobil in the countries of russia and in yemen and all those nations that sell oil. he's got a good relationship there. apparently, mitt romney is kind of -- he's not flat lining, but he's not doing so well because of that speech he gave. it does sound as if rudy giuliani probably on the downside as well, team trump upset that rudy shortly after the election went out and started talking about, well, if i'm secretary of state and the team didn't like that. >> i think the voters want someplace for rudy because so loyal to donald trump on the campaign trail to come to like 3:00 in the morning. what people love about him, what's so interesting, he grew up as a millionaire, he turned

that into a billion dollars and somehow he's relatable to the american people. i guess because he worked so hard to get where he is and he talked to the american people about jobs. listen. >> the american worker built this country and now it's time for american workers to have a government that for the first time in decades answers to them. going to answer to them. my plan begins with bold structural reform to create millions of really good paying jobs. i think both parties to a certain extent, but especially the other side. they forgot about those people. that's why i call them the forgotten men and the forgotten women. they're not forgotten anymore, folks. rebuilding this country with american hands by american workers. we're going to do it. we're going to have people that haven't worked for years,

they're going to love working. they're going to be incentivized. my administration will follow two simple rules. buy american and hire american. >> speaking of hiring american and jobs leaving the country, according to "time" magazine, donald trump said i want to know the names of every company considering leaving and i'm going going to personally call every company. >> you feel like -- he said it in one of his tweets. america open for business. not bureaucrats or lawyers or government employees, it's slanted tort the little man and the job that they have. >> he also yesterday remembered john glenn. i'm sure you saw the news yesterday, astronaut, the first american to orbit earth, a decorated pilot, a senator and was married for 70 years. listen to what he said about john glenn. >> john herschel glenn, jr.,

will be remembered for his many roles in american history. was a warrior in battle, our first astronaut to orbit the earth and one much our most successful leaders on capitol hill. in 1998 he added oldest person in space to his roster of achievements. i can't help but stand here today with a real sense of deja vu some 40-year-old almost sense of deja vu. >> he was born july 18, 1921 in cambridge, ohio and attended new concord's college. after the japanese attacked pearl harbor, he signed up for the aviation cadet program and became a marine corps pilot, long before senator john glenn landed in our nation's capitol, he served in world war ii flying 69 successful missions. the u.s. manned space program was being conceived and john glenn was selected as one of the first seven astronauts for project mercury. three years later on february 20, 1962, he made history

becoming the first american to orbit the earth. >> capsule is turning around. oh, that feels tremendous. >> on january 16, 1998, nasa announced plans to return the 76-year-old legend to space. 36 years after he first orbited the earth. john glenn's second trip to space took off as planned in october of 1998. >> liftoff of discovery with a crew of six astronaut heroes and one american legend. >> i'm at this age supposed to be a couch potato. i think the thing do is get out and work to fulfill your dreams, your ambitions at whatever age. >> following his retirement from politics and return from space, he and wife annie founded the john glenn institute for public service at ohio state university. they also served as trustees of their alma mater news kingdom college. >> a lot of people say hero

about a lot of people. he was a true american hero. got speed, john glenn. >> donald trump did remember him. i said this was donald trump. it ended up being the story john scott put together. >> well done. >> nice job. meanwhile, it's 6:11 in new york city. >> good morning to all of you. while you were sleeping, secretary of defense, ash carter showing up in afghanistan. this is his final stop there before he hands over the reins to his nominating successor. marine general james mattis. he will head to bahrain tomorrow where isis is calling on his followers to launch attacks against the u.s. naval base in that country. also breaking overnight, south korea's first female president impeached. lawmakers ousting her over a corruption scandal. hundreds of protesters cheering in the capital as lawmakers made that decision. the prime minister will assume leadership until the government decides whether the president must step down. back here at home, new

heartbreaking details about the police officers and childhood best friends who were killed in georgia as they responded to a domestic violence call. according to his family, 25-year-old officer nicholas smart spent his final moments trying to save officer jody smith's life. 26-year-old officer smith passing away one day later. police found their killer barricaded inside a house. he took his own life. we're praying for those families. we know the name of the marine pilot killed near the coast of japan. captain jake frederick ejected from his aircraft after something went wrong on board during a training mission. his brother says the texas native was beloved by all. >> he was an outstanding individual. he had a great wife. he was a great husband. awesome son. he was an awesome son and he was an awesome father.

he will be greatly missed. >> his alma mater will hold a moment of silence today in honor of frederick. we don't know yet what caused that crash but the pentagon is investigating. we're praying for his family as well. >> we are indeed. >> so sorry for his loss. straight ahead, he was deported eight times. how was an illegal able to get behind the wheel of a car and kill somebody? we're going to tell you what the department of justice is saying about that man? carrier's union boss, chuck jones, calling president-elect trump a liar. the next guest says the union boss is the one telling lies. >> this should be good. >> yes.

you wouldn't believe what's in this kiester. a farmer's market. a fire truck. even a marching band. and if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. for any sort of discomfort in yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it. what makesheart healthysalad the becalifornia walnuts.r? the best simple veggie dish ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple dinner ever? heart healthy california walnuts. great tasting, heart healthy california walnuts. so simple. get the recipes at walnuts.org.

he got up there and talked about jobs remaining here in indianapolis, which is a falsehood. he got up and denied ever stating anything that he promised to keep the carrier jobs in the country, which was a falsehood. i was just calling him out on it. >> you got a union boss out of carrier continuing to call out president-elect donald trump accusing him of lying to the public about how many jobs he saved in that carrier deal. well, right after that, mr. trump fired back, tweeting this.

if united steelworkers was any good, they would have kept the jobs in indiana. spend more time working, less time reducing dues. here to react is mark nirks, the president of the legal defense foundation. joins us from the nation's capitol. mark, good morning to you. good morning, steve. >> it's extraordinary to me as a former union member myself in one of the tv unions, to hear a guy who supposedly the he had of a union bad-mouthing somebody who saved a bun. of union jobs. >> yeah, that is interesting. the fact that we're not celebrating this. the fact that 800 jobs are staying in indianapolis, some research and development jobs. the math is irrelevant at this point in that those manufacturing jobs, good high-paying manufacturing jobs are staying here. they ought to be happy about that as opposed to attacking the president-elect. >> ultimately, donald trump was doing chuck jones, the union head's job. he did his best to keep the jobs in the state.

out there in indiana. >> indeed. indiana has been an interesting story since they passed a right to work job. they've had a 9% increase in manufacturing out there. a lot of nonunion jobs created out there. the union jobs on the cutting block have been said. that's the story and narrative in indiana. the union bosses who are growing more and more out of touch with rank and file workers should understand that saving any job is important, let alone president-elect trump working hard at it. >> we've talked to a number of people at the carrier plant and some of them didn't vote for donald trump but are appreciative and now are on the trump train. ultimately, it sounds like out there at the plant, the union families are split about 50/50. half were on the trump train each though they were democrats. and the other was for hillary. for them -- the union head not to embrace the fact that the republican is saving their jobs

is a head scratcher. >> it's interesting. but not really surprising in that, union officials are growing more and more out of touch with rank and file workers. politically, we know union households voted for him. union officials spent about in the last election cycle, between 2012 and 2013, $1.7 billion on politics and lobbying, nine out of every $10 goes to one party and not president-elect trump's partiment. >> it's got to be infuriating putting all the dough into the democrat coffers. >> mark, thanks for joining us. have a wonderful weekend. >> you bet. thank you. still ahead on this friday, they make sure every fallen soldier gets a wreath on their grave for christmas. but they still need our help to make sure no stone is left bare. what you can do coming up next for arlington national cemetery. the view is about to get a whole lot worse.

we'll tell you why live from new york city on this friday. migraines steal moments from my life. so i use excedrin. it starts to relieve migraine pain in just 30 minutes. and it works on my symptoms, too. now moments lost to migraines are moments gained with excedrin. [heartbeat]

stories making headlines. addiction in america reaching a grim new milestone. more than 50,000 died from drug overdoses. the reason, more people are using heroin and prescription painkillers, unfortunately. for the first time in 20 years, americans aren't living as long as they used to. the average life span is 78.8 years old. that is actually down 1/10 from 2014. steve is editorializing.

doctors say steep increases in heart and lung disease and diabetes may be to blame. if this year feels like it just won't end. you're right. 2016 is officially the longest year in history. that's because of america's earth rotation. >> it's because of the election. >> that too. slows by 1.8 milliseconds every century due to factors like wind, volcanic activity and other things. i don't know how they measure that. but they do. those are your headlines. i made it to arlington ♪ i remember that it brought me here ♪ >> they bring comfort, one wreath at a time for military families. wreaths across america places thousands of wreaths around the holidays to honor our fallen soldiers. >> thanks in part to donations from loyal "fox and friends" viewers, the group is closer

than ever to reaching their goal this year. they still need your help to get over the hump. >> that's right. joining us with an update. we're also joined by rear admiral thomas lynch from new day usa. thank you both for joining us this morning. >> you're that guy from tv. >> am i? >> that's right. speaking of tv, you saw on this program how wreaths across america was falling short of their goal and it hit you right there, didn't it? >> we watched the program and saw that there was a need, $800,000 short. new day usa, it's a noble purpose for us. it provides the financial solutions for our veterans and the home loans, v.a. home loans. every year we pick up the wreaths, over 10,000 wreaths last year, 600 young people at new day. we saw that and we need to do something. we wanted to step up and help

bree. >> how are you doing that? >> we're doing that with writing a check. >> for? >> $100,000. >> wow. >> $100,000 from new day usa. >> great. >> bree, when we were talking about this. >> is this the official one? >> that's going to be hard to put in the atm. >> we were talking about this a week or two weeks ago. we were short or your organization was short 800,000 wreaths. after our viewers saw that, they really opened up their wallets, thank you so much. now we're 30,000 short, is that right? >> we have a 30,000 wreath shortage. we really have come down quite a bit. because of shows like yours, "fox and friends" ans of course a shoutout to my girl general a lee as well. your viewers are phenomenal, fox news is phenomenal. >> jenna lee, our husbands served together.

we share a lot of stories. we're not going to tell on air. >> i don't blame you. >> admiral, the reason this is so important to americans, laying a wreath on the gravestones, what does it say about our country. >> is says that we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, who survived the values that you and i cherish in this country. they stepped up, wore the uniform, willing to make the ultimate sacrifices for you and i for the freedoms in this country. we've got to remember them and the families and we always, always, always think about them daily. that's what we do. this is a big part of it. >> you know, a lot of people, if you fell short and you didn't have a wreath on every grave, a lot of people wouldn't know about that. but it's important to you, bre, to make sure there's one on every single grave. >> it is our mission every

single year. this is my fourth year getting involved. i actually found out that wreaths across america, because of a gold star wife, because of my girlfriend, victoria, she was telling me about it. before i go on, my mama reminds me, you have to listen to your mother to explain what gold star means. when we say a gold star family, that's someone who lost a loved one in defense of this country. victoria was telling me that one of another gold star spouse didn't really want to come to arlington. to her service a sad place. she and her children, it was a place frankly that was depressing for them. so she came one year to the national wreaths across america day and got to see what it was like, all the patriots coming out, people she knew, some she didn't. we don't look at it as -- obviously, arlington is hallowed grounds and so important for everyone to participate. but we really look at it as a way to celebrate their life. the mission for wreaths across

america is to remember, honor and teach. we really, with everything going on in the world, the world can be divided because of the political season that just took place and it is still continuing, the one thing we can unite around is our gold star families, the love for them. >> go to foxandfriends.com. or you can go to wreaths across america.org. >> $15. >> i know the viewers of this program, how much they love our country and value the service of our service members. go to foxandfriends.com. check it out. >> it's going to happen. we all have people on our shopping list that are difficult to buy for. in lieu of giving just some another silly little gift, give them the gift of charity, of loving a service member. >> thank you. >> thank you admiral. >> thank you, admiral. >> it started out so well.

>> one team, one team. >> we'll beat you on saturday. news of a voter hack. no one is blaming russia. the finger is pointed at homeland security. donald trump just left iowa and left abby huntsman behind. abby? >> good morning you guys. i am here. these men have breakfast here a couple times a month. he runs the republican party here in eye wachlt he was with mr. trump last night. talked to him. he's going to tell us about what they talked about. that's coming up right after this. stick with us. happy birthday to kirk douglas. he's 100 years old today. happy birthday, kirk.

i saw that leonardo dicaprio met with trump to talk about the environment last night. each handed trump a copy of his environmental documentary, before the flood. if you haven't seen a copy of it, you can pick up a copy in the dumpster behind trump tower. >> it fell into my trash can. >> it's recycling, isn't it? >> exactly. president-elect donald trump continuing his thank you tour with a pit stop in des moines,

iowa, last night. more of a pep rally where he won 51% of the vote in the state of iowa. >> thanking the voters. this as the voters as -- how are the voters feeling about that decision and the speech? >> abby huntsman is going to find out as a place called the machine shed, a restaurant in urbandale, which is in iowa. right outside des moines. >> west des moines. >> ainsley, i found out that it's called the machine shed. it is a dedication to the american farmer. it all makes sense. this is such a great place. it's a staple in iowa. i flew here from new york city. on my flight was the governor. he's going to be potentially the next ambassador to china. i had to grab him and ask him about it. here's what he told me. let's play a bit of that. >> you are. >> i got to go through confirmation. all of that. it's an exciting opportunity.

we sell a lot of soybeans in china and also pork, so that's very important to the iowa economy. the current president of china, his first trip to america was to iowa, leading an agricultural delegation. i was governor then, too, in 1985, and met him. we had a picture taken with his whole delegation and the governor's office on april 29, 1985. he was so pleased with the way he was received and the families and farms and businesses he met with the iowa in '85 that he called us old friends. >> i love that. >> so he's off to a new adventure. we're going to have his lieutenant governor, kim reynolds, he's going to join us later on this morning. she's going to be the first female governor ever of the state of iowa. i'm here now with jeff kaufman, a special man, very helpful in getting mr. trump elected. you were with him last night. >> i was.

it was the one thing that strikes every conversation i heard him having and the one he had with me, was absolute sincere gratitude. this is unprecedented. a person who has just been elected the leader of the free world and he's come back here, and honest to goodness, he just wanted to say thank you. he remembered some of the conversations we had during the caucus. i said i told you we would deliver iowa. he said you did, didn't you? he was reinforcing his campaign promises, not only that, he's reinforcing his gratitude that he had to each and every person that put him in office. it's refreshing. >> you worked hard. going to be the first female lieutenant governor here. you're shattering the glass ceiling. our first female auditor and governor and senator and first female combat veteran in the entire united states senate. all republican. iowa republicans shattered glass ceilings. some people talk about it, we

get it done. >> you're already working toward 2018. >> terry, you're a pastor. you met mr. trump before he announced. >> i did. i met him last year and we had a great conversation for about 20 minutes just him and i. i asked him as we finished up, he asked me, he says, is there anything i could ever do for you, you just let me know. i'm thinking, i'm not going to let that go. i said i got one thing. would you keep pastor saeed abedini's case in front of the american people. he asked what you could do for me. he said okay i'll do it. he did. when pastor syed got released, he said i want to thank donald trump for keeping the case in front of the american people. i'm grateful for that. >> richard, you are a retired pilot. you watched the event last night. what do you make of his focus on jobs? >> i think it's very important. as a democrat once said, is the

economy stupid? we've had a really poor economy for a long time. we need to get business back to creating jobs, reduce the regulation, maybe tax us so we can bring money back into the u.s. and so on and build jobs. small businesses, like this company started out as a small business, this restaurant. it's a great success story. but small businesses like that have a tremendous trouble building with the regulations that have been piled on them. >> we're going to be here all morning long talking about the big speech last night and how people are feeling here, guys. >> it looks good. at the top of the hour, abby, you have to have another sweet roll the size of a small buick. they're unbelievable. >> they're going to have to hire me a personal trainer. >> just have one. you got to have one. you got to do it. >> brian volunteered. >> they're so good. >> abby huntsman will be at the machine shed in urbandale iowa. i used to live in the neighborhood off hickman.

>> you've lived everywhere. how many states. >> you have a story for everywhere. >> a bunch of them. travel man. over to heather. >> another midwesterner. good morning to all of you. a serious story 6789 there's an urgent manhunt for an illegal immigrant deported eight times and now suspected in a deadly hit and run. the department of justice confirming miguel sauce lead owe was deported eight times but was in the united states in october when he hit and killed two women in louisville, kentucky. he was likely drunk. keep an eye out for this man. georgia's secretary of state demanding answers from the department of homeland security. they claim someone tried to hack the voter registration database linked to the dhs. the hacking attempt reportedly happened on november 15th, a week after the presidential election. dhs now investigating.

candace cameron bure tired of the view after two seasons. she made this surprising announcement. >> i'm announcing that i will be leaving "the view." it wasn't an easy decision. but i started "the view" i had my commitments to fuller house and my work with the hallmark channel. the actress who joined us many times on the curvy couch is known for her conservative views. she says juggling several jobs and three children on the other coast was just too much. we love her. and happy that she gets to spend more time with her family now. >> they got to have her point of view on the view. >> they certainly do. >> they do. thank you, heather. fake news is the latest buzzword. especially among the liberal left. as liberals vow to crackdown, where do we draw the line when it comes to freedom of speech. kurt the cyberguy is here to answer the question. >> that's one way to solve it.

>> i just found my duct tape. the first survivor of alzheimer's disease is out there. and the alzheimer's association is going to make it happen. but we won't get there without you. visit alz.org to join the fight. when are they leaving? grilled cheese and campbell's tomato soup go together like grandchildren and chaos. made for real, real life. cartels, militias, terrorist groups. they all need a place to park their cash and cherna is their dirty little piggy bank. we're going to insert into the country while nobody is looking. we're going to steal their money, sir? no, we are going to destroy it. we're going to finish this mission. anything we find is ours. do you want to trust a bunch of black water marks? i mean the rush, i've never felt anything like it. if we stay here we're going to die. then we die.

we'll play something besides video games. every day is a gift especially for people with heart failure. but today there's entresto®- a breakthrough medicine that can help make more tomorrows possible. tomorrow, i want to see teddy bait his first hook. in the largest heart failure study ever, entresto® was proven to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading heart failure medicine. women who are pregnant must not take entresto®. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto® with an ace inhibitor or or aliskiren. if you've had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine, don't take entresto®. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. tomorrow, i'm gonna step out with my favorite girl.

ask your heart doctor about entresto®. and help make the gift of tomorrow possible. in her latest post-election appearance, hillary clinton challenged congress to combat fake news on social media. something the left recently blamed the democrat losses for. >> the epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year, it's now clear that so-called fake news can have real-world consequences. silicon valley is starting to grapple with the challenge and threat of fake news. it's imperative that leaders in both the private sector and the public sector step up to protect our democracy and innocent lives.

>> but where do you draw the line when it comes to free speech online? here to weigh in is kurt the cyberguy. >> here's the dilemma. you've got social media companies now trying to be the barometer of what's right, what's wrong, what's too extreme and at what point do you actually have your freedom of speech removed and a lot of the social networks are kicking people off because they're not expressing popular views that are okay with everyone. what does that do to us? there's no platform to have a voice anymore. >> who are they kicking off? the conservative points of view or the liberal or both? >> both. but you're seeing a lot of it happening to conservatives. here in new york city, we were just talking in the green room. another guest is coming up. i can't each teach my class the right way a professor said because i can't be pc because of social media. what happens? he gets fired. he eventually is rehired. it's all because you really don't have this level of freedom of speech.

here's what's happening. other news social networks are coming about. gab is one of them growing hundreds of thousands of people waiting in line to get on the site. >> it's fake news? >> no. it's a social network where they have more leeway with freedom of speech. >> this election psyche am, much was a rejection of the mainstream media that's been the gatekeeper and -- what's to keep the gatekeeper of the internet from pushing one side and not the other? >> that's exactly the problem. there is no perfect place, right? so no matter if you go too far to the left or the right, you're going to offend somebody. then does that qualify for you to have your voice shut down and you're not part of the group? something for us to keep our eye on, something for us to know, that freedom of speech does not really exist in social media, period. >> here's the other thing. how many stories out of the white house are simply not accurate, which would be deemed fake news? >> or misleading.

>> or misinformation. >> real news is sometimes fake news. >> it is true. >> sometimes the white house spokespeople might spin the story. >> or "the new york times" or every other outlet. >> what's fake what's thin. >> all of this stuff, if you notice, is suddenly bubbling up, not just in media, but in social media especially. watch your words online and watch to see who gets kicked off of social media. >> watch the watchdogs. freedom of -- it's messy. when you open it up, ultimately the marketplace of ideas. i'd rather have that out than a regulator telling me. >> how long has social media been around, ten years? >> someone always wants to tax it or regulate it. >> absolutely. >> kurt, thank you very much. >> have a good weekend. coming up, should the federal government be able to ban fast food companies from putting their ads on tv because making kids fat? well, it's happening in the united kingdom. should it happen here?

a debate coming you next. you wouldn't believe what's in this kiester. a farmer's market. ♪ . . . . .

regulators in the uk now banning junk food ads that target children on line. this comes as children are spending an increasing amount of time staring at their screens. for kids in the u.s., this means an average of 5 to 7 hours each day spent staring at a phone, a tv, or a computer. so should the u.s. follow the uk's lead in all of this? here to debate is psycho therapist and the author of the book "discorrected --

disconnect disconnected." >> what's your opinion about this? >> i can understand the side of being concerned about advertising but it is protected under the first amendment. commercial-free speech. i think there's a bigger problem than changing advertising the way they do it and it is the fact that kids are spending so much time in front of screens and i want to believe that the parents who are actually purchasing the food for these children can be more responsible. >> you are not in favor of doing it here in the u.s.? dr. huff, how about you? >> i think we already have a commitment. 18 of the largest food companies in our country not to market with children under age 12. we know marketing works.

my problem with it is going on with digital is that when kids want to watch a video on youtube or one of these channels they watch, they have to watch the commercial in order to get the game. they can't skip the ad. there's a reason. >> i understand what you are saying, you want less government. we want government to tell us what we can and can't do. kids, we remember growing up, we would look at the catalogs, the toys that were advertised. it's no different here when kids see these ads. i understand we want less government for adults, but for kids? >> yeah, who make the decisions for kids. >> the patients, i know. >> the mind is very imappreciationible, impressionable. i'm a big advocate of being

responsible as a parent. >> yeah. >> if i believe that my kid is spending countless hours watching youtube or staring at a screen and absorbing these unhealthy messages, i'm going to control that on my own and regulate screen time. >> one third of american children are overweight and 12.5% of those -- >> one third? >> yes. >> is it the parents' fault? the kids saying i saw that advertisement for the burger, mom, go through the drive through? >> they are getting brainwashed. you see these commercials. you go to the super market and the cereal aisle, those advertisements on those boxes are really calculated to be at the child's eye level in the super market cart. >> it's not just the food. it's also the sedentary nature of how kids are living nowadays.

if you are looking at a screen, you are more likely to be sitting down. lots of people asking where is rudy giuliani. we will ask senior adviser kellyanne conway at the top of the hour.

my friends think doing this at my age is scary. i say not if you protect yourself. what is scary? pneumococcal pneumonia. it's a serious disease. my doctor said the risk is greater now that i'm over 50! yeah...ya-ha... just one dose of the prevnar 13® vaccine can help protect you from pneumococcal pneumonia- an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. prevnar 13® is approved for adults 18 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue,

headache, muscle pain, joint pain, less appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash. get this one done! ask about prevnar 13® at your next visit to your doctor's office or pharmacy. we will make america strong again. we will make america rich again. we will make america safe again. and we will make america great again. america's men and women in uniform are the finest and bravest the world has ever known. we'll honor your service, your sacrifice, and that really begins with defending and respecting our american flag. we're not going to be the stupid people anymore, folks. we're not going to be the stupid people. i believe we're in the process

of putting together one of the great cabinets that has ever been assembled in the history of our nation. do you like it so far, everybody? thank you, iowa. thank you. thank you very much. god bless you, iowa. ♪ yep. there she is. abby huntsman is live at a diner in west des moines in urbandale, iowa. that large thing in her hand, is that a single sweet roll? >> guys, this is a one-piece cinnamon roll. it's supposed to be for one person. donna was telling me her first experience heating -- eating here at the machine shed. what happened?

>> an elderly gentleman came and sat next to me and i hadn't lived in the state for a while. he asked me, would you share this with me? i got a piece. come to find out when i introduced myself he was the former governor of the state of iowa. >> only here in iowa. this would not happen in new york where someone would say you want to share this with me? >> of course, we're talking politics and pancakes and we're getting reaction from donald trump. >> i thought she would end up saying we ended up dating, we got married. >> thank you for joining us this morning. we're lucky to have kellyanne conway who is over at trump tower right now. good morning. >> good morning. >> so we know that we've been watching the golden elevator doors open and close. more people going up for job

interviews. what do you make -- so if far what we've seen is an all-star season. everybody looks great. what do you think of the criticism? he's got too many generals. he's setting himself up for a coup is what everybody is saying. what do you say to say that? >> i think this is such a great way to get away from giving positions to donors. these generals are served our nation. i read this as if there's a quota for the number of tough hd minded accomplished people. there is not a quota for tough minded accomplished people for these jobs. these are the election deniers

one month in. it's diverse in terms of race, gender, and background. it's incredible. it's really true. when you talk about these generals, you have department of homeland security, national security adviser. this is also within the keeping of donald trump to try to get things done quickly with people who have proven their mettle and are people who like him are accustomed to being accountable and delivering results. >> indeed. kellyanne, all 16 positions of the position on the cabinet are obviously important, but the big one is everybody is waiting for is secretary of state. what is the latest on that? when will we find out? >> we're obviously way ahead of schedule with you compare us to past administrations, including president obama when he was president-elect. he made his first appointment in

week four and this is a very important decision and the secretary of state field has obviously broadened and widened. there are a couple of people who have come in recent days and weeks to interview with the president-elect and vice president-elect. you have to be able to adhere to what will be the trump doctrine worldwide and be able to execute it. he met with alan malaly, governor romney, mayor giuliani, general petraeus. senator bob corker who would probably face easy confirmation. you are talking about a divorce group. john bolton. dana rohrabacher.

this is an important process. he is welcoming in a number of men and women who have very diverse backgrounds. >> kellyanne, the list of secretary of state has started small and has expanded. he's talking to a wide swath of people for that potential position. some people are asking where is rudy giuliani who was seen as the early frontrunner for that position? as it pertains to the trump doctrine, do you feel he's where mr. trump is on the view of the world? >> he was a very close and loyal adviser throughout the campaign. the mayor was a constant presence pretty much in the waning months of the campaign. had endorsed the president-elect earlier on i guess in the summer or spring. but mayor giuliani is still in the mix. that's obvious because the president-elect has not said publicly who is and who is not.

you can rest assured those who have been considered are on the list moving forward. i think it's going to come down to one man's decision with whom he's most comfortable and who he thinks can work with these other cabinet members, the secretary of defense, general mattis, acceptable -- certainly the national security adviser, general flynn and it's very important to have a cohesive cabinet. >> the guy who used to run ford and boeing, that's an interesting choice given that donald trump has mentioned both of those companies recently and rex tillerson is interesting because as the top guy at exxon mobile, he's dealt with russia and yemen and countries all over the world. >> and the developing world. >> absolutely. "time" magazine has said apparently donald trump has made it clear he wants the names of the companies that are considering leaving the country, and that he is personally going to call each and every one of them.

kellyanne, has he started those phone calls? >> those who work on his behalf are executing on that, making a list and checking it twice, and so it's in process and any time the president-elect makes a statement like that or expresses his viewpoint, of course, those of us who are there to serve him follow up on that almost immediately and i think he's making a great point only insofar as you saw what happened just last week in indianapolis with the carrier deal. the result is so popular to the american people, you had over 60% of americans saying that they thought that was a terrific deal for the workers. it improved their opinion of the president-elect donald trump. that included 40% of democrats and 54% of self-identified independents and over 80% or so of republicans and so he didn't do it for his own image. he did it because it's the right thing to do. he did it because he made that a centerpiece of his campaign and

before he's even sworn into office as our 45th president he's making a difference on significant issues like that, the retention of jobs here. so if he can reach out to industry and he can try to do the same thing, where it's appropriate and as it can happen, then why not? people know usa is open for business again. if you create a more hospitable business climate for employers to feel that they can attract and retain talent here, that they can expand their operations here, that is -- to him, it's job number one and he's made that very clear. >> well, hillary clinton has blamed fake news on her loss and she says the fake news out there is a danger to the public and she urges government action. we have a sound bite of her and we'll get your reaction. >> let me just mention briefly one threat in particular that should concern all americans. it's now clear that so-called fake news can have real world consequences. this isn't about politics or

partisansh partisanship. lives are at risk. risk -- lives of other ordinary people trying to go about their days doing their jobs. >> kellyanne. >> it's remarkable. if she's trying to make a nexus between those statements and her electoral loss, i'm almost at a loss for words maybe for the first time in a while. the idea that they can't grapple with the fact that -- i don't know what her message was for america other than i'm not donald trump and you shouldn't vote for him. i don't know what her message was to americas women where she only got 55 or 56% of the vote as the first female presidential nominee from a major party. the fake piece of news i hear all along is that donald trump couldn't win. how's that for fake news? misleading news. the misleading news was that michigan, wisconsin, and

pennsylvania were all sewed up. look, i take seriously what she's saying in terms of people spreading rumors or saying things that aren't true and possible harm coming to people but it's this whole new cottage industry they are trying to make a big deal of and pin it on one party or one man's supporters. that i disagree with completely self-awareness would do for a team that is blaming everybody but themselves for this. it's bernie sanders' fault, how dare he run? the guy won 22 states, folks, and 13 million voters. that ain't nothing. it's the alt-right fault. it's russian interference. it's james comey. how about you had no hevenling? >> kellyanne, why can't they learn? what's prevent being the introspection that the other major party in this country can't seem to do? >> it's amazing to me, pete,

because they missed a huge opportunity last week to put into place tim ryan has a minority leader in the house and say to nancy pelosi thanks fewer service but on your watch you have lost over 60 house seats, in addition to dozens of governor and senate seats, 1,000 state legislative seats and she's been the minority leader and speaker of the house and since president obama got there. guys, 1,000 state legislative seats. it's unbelievable how few chambers they control. they won't learn the lessons. they haven't learned that they are out of touch of the workers of america. it's the democratic party that built clinton won after its banner is gone. the pro life and second amendment democrats, they are gone. you even see it in the approach to terrorism. we -- she refers to them as our determined enemies.

there's no introspection, no reflection and i couldn't be happier because i felt such relief last week. i was so worried that the democrats were going to learn a lesson from this election, and put in place a guy from youngstown, ohio, mahoning county. thank you very much for joining us. we know you got to go back to work. you are working the phones. i understand you are trying to get justin timberlake or bruno mars to perform at the inauguration. >> yes. you'll be the third to know. they can call me by the way. they can call me. >> as you just heard president-elect donald trump making a promise to americans. >> this administration will follow two simple rules. buy american and hire american.

>> so can he actually make that happen and how? stuart varney on that coming up next. and this which one of these late night hosts is calling it quits? keep it here to find out. >> can we pick? ♪ what makes thermacare different? two words: it heals. how? with heat. unlike creams and rubs that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation and accelerate healing. let's review: heat, plus relief, plus healing, equals thermacare. the proof that it heals is you.

varney here to chime in. >> he runs two restaurant chains, hardee's and carl jr. he's going to be fiercely criticized for the ads that he used to get carls jr to get them up and running. can you imagine the confirmation hearings? >> they worked. everyone remembers them. >> whatever you say. >> i just remember that carls was in new york because that burger looks so good. >> also, he's going to be grilled about the fact that he is against $15 minimum wage. >> absolutely he is. he's a frequent guest on varney & co. he says that $15 is a job

killer. there's an awful lot of restaurants these days where you order on a tablet and a kitchen runner brings it out to you so you have to pay $15 to the wait staff. he's also against the new overtime rules. there's going to be a fierce fight for this man because he opposes everything that the unions have stood for. >> is this the most pro business anti regulatory environment that you've seen? >> yes, i think it is. this is a cabinet made up of three generals so far and an awful lot of business people and they have got hands-on executive experience. at his speech last night arguably you could say that this president is selling america. he's saying look, we are open for business. come and do business here. we'll lower the taxes. we'll get some economic growth going. keep the jobs here because this is the united states of america. >> well, wall street loves it

say the grammar isn't that great on that site. this is a time to be judgmental about that kind of stuff. it's probably not a good site. same thing with apps too. if you want to go look for a shopping app, you want to make sure that you have the app that is correct. it has high ratings and again it's written in, you know, proper english. so that's one way to protect yourself. also, when people call you and they are trying to -- solicit information from you, you don't want to go ahead and give that credit card information out. you want to make sure that if you are giving out that credit card information, you are initiating that call and making sure sure that people -- you are not giving out our credit card willy nilly. we. >> we get calls for people who are soliciting for charity.

talk about repealing obamacare. >> you've seen it firsthand. on over here to gary mr. trump spoke directly to farmers last night. you are a retired farmer. you drove in the motorcade. what was that like? >> there was 25 vehicles in the motorcade. it was very exciting. seeing some of americas finest serving as secret service agents. you develop an appreciation what our law enforcement do for our country. >> you said one hasn't been home in more than 30 days. we have a photo. your tractor is outside this restaurant. this tractor is going to be there for inauguration day. >> we registered to be in the parade. we're excited about it. >> he spoke directly to you last night saying i want to protect the farmers. >> yes, you know the farmers, i think, one of our country's greatest assets is we've always been able to defend ourselves and feed ourselves so we have to

...one of many pieces in my i havlife.hma... so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine

that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. president-elect donald trump has made it clear that va reform is a top priority for his administration. >> at the same time we will ensure our veterans have the best medical care in the world, including the best health care for our female veterans who have also been the forgotten people.

a one star or a five-star civilian hospital? however, as veterans we're forced to use one-star facilities. something is not right with that. >> well said. we'll put up a map of some of these one-star rated va facilities. phoenix being one of them. phoenix was rated one star for two years in a row. memphis, tennessee, nashville, tennessee, augusta, georgia. phoenix, a one star for multiple years, why haven't we seen any changes there? >> in 2014 we were a one star and we're still apparently number one in 2016. the own thing that's changed is our budget has been increased because of the scandal by over $100 million per year. so at this point i ask the american public is this a funding issue as va central office continues to say or is it a bad management issue? >> it's a great question. what in your mind as a

whistle-blower who has been on the front lines, who is still involved in this issue, what's the biggest thing donald trump can do on day one to start delivering on changing the culture at va? >> thanks for asking that. my statement to donald trump in a nutshell, we're fighting for choice and accountability. that's why we came out and endorsed pete hegseth as the next secretary of the va. i've been certain of three things in my life. one is serving my country in the united states marine corps, two, marrying my wife and three, pete hegseth as secretary of the va. >> i appreciate that. thanks for blowing the whistle, for having the courage, and we'll keep the fight going on the va. appreciate it this morning. >> take care. >> it's being called one of the best movies of the year. >> it's strange that we keep running into each other.

grant. i always felt i had to catch up among the men who serve. all my career to not wear the uniform and go through the discipline. i think donald trump also had that same insecurity. he went to military school as i did. so had some scerns in that regard but then to not have served and to be in the company of those who have given and sacrificed so much, i felt insecure about it. i'm delighted. president obama had aaron sencheci, remember the general. >> a bunch of them before he fired them. >> dennis blair, the admiral. >> the left has got to complain about something. >> i think that's ridiculous. to me, they are obviously the epa choice and there are some others that kind of grate on me. i don't see how they work out. in oklahoma, we have earthquakes because of fracking, i'm not sure about, you know, some of

the picks, but i'm delighted overall. if you are a conservative, this is a magnificent cabinet and i think some of these picks have been absolutely aaa. i give trump an "a" for this prep. he's way ahead of the timetable set by president obama last time around in terms of this transition. he will be ready on inauguration day. >> what do you want him to do as far as illegal immigration is concerned? there's a story this morning, two women were kill in louisville, kentucky by a guy who was driving a truck. deported eight times. similar story to what happened with kate steinle. >> when someone is a repeat offender, they are guilty of a very serious federal crime. he should have been in jail. there's no doubt he should have been in jail. >> he was deported. >> but before they are deported, they have to serve five years in federal prison.

that's the way you deter it. the fellow in kate steinle's case, he had just gotten out of jail. i feel you have a mix of muscle and compassion. kelly is exactly the right guy. he held southern command. i watched these guys in action in colombia against the drug lords. they know the border. they know the scene in latin america. they are absolutely all connected. the drugs are very much connected. i think that i -- i am for absolutely secure borders. where i am compassionate and some people are not are for groups like the dreamers. they are brought here as children by their parents. he has indicated that he's going to show compassion to them and if he does, that's the constituency right there. >> you get eight times over again. >> i covered el chapo's and i

trump super pacs and they wanted the recount effort to not even start to begin with. well, it has. there's that hearing that's happening today and like i said in wisconsin 80% of the votes have already been recounted and so far the discrepancies between the recount and election day have really been minor. at this point, hillary clinton has gained about 61 votes, but she is still trail president-elect donald trump in the state of wisconsin. he led by 22,177 votes and hillary clinton gained 61. his campaign also gained some votes, but at this point, like i said, the difference is really quite negligible in terms of making a difference. we'll have to see what this federal judge decides, but it doesn't look like it would change much if the recount stops only for the fact that taxpayers have put in money to pay the
