dramatic categories including best picture. >> "the people versus oj simpson" got five not make thes. >> thank you for joining us. america's news headquarters starts right now. >> the white house now responding to president-elect donald trump's comments on whether or not russia affected the u.s. election. it comes as they have downplays any report from moscow. in the meantime, they continue at trump tower and president-elect sadds names to

his cap nit. john roberts is live outside of trump tower in new york city. just named, congratulations to my friends. >> a lot of action here this afternoon. not just an anti-trust protestor almost coming to blows with the naked cowboy. joe manchon going upstairs to talk to president-elect trump. the fact that he comes from a tv coal state. there has been no official announcement on this, but rex tillerson this is maybe one of

the top one or two in the cabinet. rex tillerson crafted deals. donald trump really likes that aspect of it and here is what he told chris wallace on fox news sunday. >> he is more than a business executive. he is a world class player. to me a great advantages. he does massive deals in russia. however, they could run into head wins. even some republicans are concerned he might be too close to russia because of the deals he set to make in russia. donald trump has not yet named tiller s er tillerson, though he is expecting to.

what can you tell us ant the golden elevators. >> what a difference winning an election makes. remember the war of words that direct had with carly fiorina. what he said about her during that debate and what she said about him. carly foiorina was all sweetnes and smiles today. she might be a director for national intelligence. as the ceo of hewitt-packard, she cooperated with the cia on security issues. we spent a fair amount of time going to china and we

talked about hacking, purported russian hacking. and the ability the president has to reset things. to reset the trajectory of this economy. >> he had cool things in his office including a shoe given to him by shaquille oneil saying it takes a champion to know a champion. what a difference winning an election makes. a potential candidate for secretary of the interior. >> that is a full list and watch out for the naked cowboy there, john. >> exactly, thank you.

the obama administration responding today after the conclusion -- they are just wrapping up at the white house. rich, the white house, i guess not surprisingly the assessment is the president-elect on one side and the intelligence agencies on the other size. josh ernest says they hacked the democratic national committee, john podesta's e-mails, and they say it is clear evidence they interfered to help trump.

>> there was malicious cyber activity. the president-elect didn't call it into question. he called on russia to hack his opponent. >> the white house says there was no indication of cyber activity when it came to election day and the counting of votes. the white house also says that the president beliefs in a proportional response to this but refuses to get into the details of what they're considering. when you look at congress, it's controlled by both houses. earlier today, mitch mcconnell

said the further breeching of our cyber security is disturbing. any intervention by russia is especially problematic. they say that putin has been an aggressive -- they say it is a grave disservice to those individuals and potentially jeopardizes our national security. so what they're stressing here is fine, we can look at this, to see if it undermines the result of the election. >> interesting stuff. for more on this, fox news digital politics editor and the editor of the halftime report. it is the cull min nation of everything we have been hearing,

reading, and watching all along. what if we just conceded the fact that someone connected to russia did release those e-mails and what do we do? >> nothing. next time you hope you're better situated next time. one supposed that vladimir putin probably didn't like hillary clinton, who said rotten, nasty things about him. none of this would be surprising stuff. what is surprising here is the misunderstanding between an election and the campaign. there was a russian preference for donald trump. hillary clinton brought it up in the second debate, on stage, it

was talked about over and over again. but no one, no human being made any finding. the democrats are not happyt people were not -- did not know more, or were not more bothered by the fake news stories. guess what? they had the election, the democrats lost, and there is no revote. >> even republicans are mad about this. here is what mitch mckonld had to say. >> reviewing russian tactics or just ignore them. >> the russians were not our friends, and they get hysterical

and restless. it's like when my kids do something outrageous and you just ignore them. >> a week from today, members of the electoral college will convene in 50 states and in columbia. and they will be recorded, and the votes will be confirmed, and donald trump will be made president. they thought maybe it will be easier for democrats to move on from the undo, do over, pretend this didn't happen thing. they lost an election they were supposed to have won, and they have to figure out why that is and it's not just about vladimir

putin and fake news. >> after deadly attacks in somali, a trump bomb kills at least 20 and wounds dozens of others. many police among the 38 killed in 150 injured. and the terror group, isis, targeting a military base at the port city of yemen killing 50 soldiers and wounding 70 more. the national football league could soon be forced to takele the nation's gun debate. one state considering allowing firearms in sports stadiums. where this could happen and what they're saying.

and claims that russian hackers influenced the american election. >> if they do that with political campaigns, can't that do it in every other aspect of america, especially our military capability?

when are they leaving? grilled cheese and campbell's tomato soup go together like grandchildren and chaos. made for real, real life. a deadly shooting is being investigated in north carolina. there was reports of a suspicious person in a neighborhood. a man who lived in the community was shot and killed. ones officer was also shot in the leg and chest and was wearing a bullet proof vest. a second officer was not injured. he was placed on administrative

leave. no word yet on why the shooting happened. president-elect donald trump defending his decision not to get daily security briefings. >> i get it when i need it. i'm a smart person, i don't have to be told the same thing and the same words every single day for the next eight years. >> a fox news contributor and former white house national security council staff member under president george w. bush and president obama. you're the perfect person to ask about this. when he says they come in every day, and many times it's the exact same words that they said the day before and he's like i'm busy i don't need to listen if nothing has changed. to regular people out there, that makes sense. >> it does not make sense to those of us who have been there and done it. the primary reason is because a lot of times, the very fact of

repetition is really important in intelligence to have. it's the most crucial kind of intelligence he needs to have when he is making decisions about military strategy, planning, and the deployment of officers around the globe. so to me, if things are staying the same. i don't know if he will start to get the daily briefings. >> the president-elect will have to develop his own routine and his own strategy for educating and equipping himself with the necessary knowledge to make good decisions for the country. like every other american, i'm hoping he will do that. >> congressman adam shift piling on as well saying if trump is

willing to disregard sound intelligence now and dean the hard working and patriotic americans who produce it, i fear what he will do as president when he is faced with unpleasant truths. >> you know, i think my hope is that once she is president he will realize he needs the most and best available information available to him every day. i think regardless of his mistrust of the community at large, once he starts working with them he will come to the realize that most of them are not political appointees, they're civil service, and they're out there fighting for the national interest every day and they deserve as much credit and respect for that. >> answers are he does think that under need.

he brought a lot of generals in as his immediate picks for his cabinet posts. it speaks to -- well, we don't know what is going on in his mind, but i don't want to let you go without asking about russia hacking and interfering in the election process. john bolten is one of the people pushing back on the idea that is a given that the russians did this. listen. >> i can see russia -- for them to be so in expert that the trail can rapid i will be taken back to them, it's just hard to once. >> there was russian interference, there was russian hacking. this comes from the white house, congress, both chambers, both

sides of the aisle. we don't know yet how those interferences affected the outcome of the election. so the chance that they are out front, i trust the report from the office of the director of national intelligence and now the cia when they tell us there was russian interference. >> it is also interesting when they say if they left fingerprints, why would they be so clumsy? did they want us to know it was them? thank you so much. >> thanks. >> a group of law marks in one state trying to allow fans to brings guns into n into nfl and

shot. a number of weapons from the scene have been taken in for processing. some lawmakers in washington state trying to allow fans to bring handguns into professional sports stadiums. trace gallagher is live with more on that one. break it down for us. >> right now if you have a concealed carry permit, it's okay to bring a gun into a stadium. the law, which is being pushed by three republican state lawmakers. it also stopped local governments from passing organize nanss. we contacted lawmakers that have

not gotten back to us. this is a part-time legislature. what has not been explained is how the whole firearm law would work. now when you bring something into a game, you normally have to carry it in a clear plastic bag to security can see what you have. that would defeat the purpose of concealed carry. they have not yet commented on the law, but it's a pretty good bet the league will fight this. last year after the terror attacks in paris, the union asked to reconsider tallowing of duty officers to carry their weapons. if you mix tens of thousands of fans, alcohol, and guns, you don't know, but if you don't know who has a gun, you're less likely to attack or cause trouble at a game.

some headlines we're following now, a bombing that killed 24 christians at a cairo chapel on sunday. french police on the hunt for thieves that tole around $1 million in gold from an armored truck before setting cars on fire next to a major highway. and ranging from the best of government fronts to filing false tax returns. so with congress set to investigate claims of russian influence, signer security is on many minds in washington. only foxx news has a look at the cyber security swat team that is little known but a critical layer of national defense.

thank you, good afternoon, with the looming cyber threat, the new administration will bundle homeland security and the fbi capabilities. >> for the incoming administration, what recommendations do you give them? >> the president's decision on cyber security. one of those they particularly believe needs to be is cyber security. >> i believe the way we're organized between the department of homeland security, the federal bureau of kfgs, by the time we restond, that the -- respond it has already been

affected. >> they took advantage lavrov security of employee errors, not those that are nose as a zero day vulnerability. >> they could not go beyond the public statements of admiral mike rodgers. but the hacks were drib rate and designed to achieve a specific outcome and it was used for offensive and defensive purposes. >> getting to certain intelligence they can't get any other way. they may use it for counter a narrative that is currently anti-russia or things of that nature. >> they said they really expect to see a lot more constructive attacks like what we saw with

sony. they think the hackers have been able to get in the systems and it's like having one waiting in your hack. so the cyber effect is physical and it is manifesting yourself. >> thank you so much. plekt trump facing resistance on capitol hill for his choice as rex tillerson as the nation's top diplomat. marco rubio says being a "friend of vladimir" is not a attribute i'm hoping for for secretary of state. mercedes is a republican strategist and a former spokesperson for george w bush. thank you for joining us. jessica, i covered energy for about a decade.

ceo's are required to go into countries and do deals with people we consider enmys. they are vorts to do business with a lot of these guys, but having a relationship and working with them, is that a bad thing in your mind? >> he did win the order of friendship award from him, and it seems cozier than just we did business, and i know they are trying to paint this as an elector rate that doesn't think they did anything well. but it seems too close for comfort especially when we're facing reporting of hacks, the possible influence in the election, and this is not just democrats right now. we have republicans like john mccain talking about that. >> john mccain agrees with you, let's listen. >> i know the first time ever. >> i'm concerned about his

relationship with vladimir putin. she he is a thug and a murderer, a kgb guy that wants to restore the russian empire, but we should give him a fair hearing. >> so what about that. you could make the case if he is all of those things, do you go up against him very hard? put someone in place who maybe pulled the wool over his eyes? the one thing we know about tillerson is that he will understand the mind-set of the russians, and the mind-set of vladimir putin and his relationship. we know who we are dealing with here. she a ki he is a dictator that has been

ruthless. i think there is a advantage here with tillerson on that issue. it is his responsibility as a ceo to make sure he makes these joint ventures across the globe. so he was lobbying in favor of that organization. now we're going to see if he can be the top diplomat for america. >> i understand you both gave up a little which i appreciate on this, but when you have have so many people up in arms -- >> up in arms about all of them, everything that trump says. is this the one you want to really push back on? >> you do have to pick your battles. >> is this the one? >> it seems like a pretty big one. i don't know if he was just gaming or torturing him or what you have there.

this seems like a good one to focus on. >> to jessica's point, you have to have that 51 vote margin. and because some of the republicans are concerned, the question is will he be able to make that magical number, that will be key. let's turn to the second topic, the plan to repeal and replace obama care. senate finance committee chairman orin hatch saying i would like to do it tomorrow. but in the real world right now they say it can't wait. the history of this place is "the longer it takes, the more exponenti exponentially the probability grows it will not get done. the republicans have been saying they have a replacement plan for over two years, so why do they

need three years? >> it has been six years of damage under obama care. republicans are ready to move fast on this issue of obama care. of course to unl do the obama care web is unbelievable. so i think tom price, when he was congressman, secretary nominee, he focused on the impatience first. he is giving different options to just obama care. that will be the devil in the details. >> and you don't repeal and replace in one quick move like with a band aid. it's a big problem, right? you leave people without insurance and it will be tough for republicans. >> and they promised that would not happen. and they would not discriminate

against people with pre-existing conditions. you want to talk about premium costs rising, talk about taking away the pre-existing conditioning clause. if it goes a few years, it could be an issue in 2020. >> you're getting closer every day. >> i'm trying, guys. >> we appreciate your time. >> isis under fire in parts of syria. so this brand new video shows turkish and rebel forces hitting an islamic state position outside of aleppo. the ancient city, of course, has been the scene of so much death and devastation. syrian government forces have captured much of aleppo and humanitarian corridor has given

tens of thousands of civilians a rare chance to escape in recent days, but syrian government forces and russian allies are losing ground. reportedly falling back into isis control. they made headlines last year when they detonated ruins dating back to ancient rome. new information emerging about a deadly hot air balloon crash. we are now learning that the pilot had seven different impairing drugs in his system at the time. he also had two prior arrests for drugs. they are not commenting on the toxicology report. the maker of one of the worst's most intelligence

fighter jets being hit by president-elect trump. nasty snow and bitterly cold temperatures rocking the country. who is being hit the hardest.

much more ahead on president-elect trump and his relationship with intelligence agencies. we'll speak with amy who says he can question american intelligence privately, but it is highly unusual for an american president to question the country's intelligence and admitting to skipping intelligence briefings. the president-elect crushing the stock of a company as he takes aim at the x 35 fighter jet. first, let's go to ed henry for

more on trump's latest twitter target. why is he targeting the f 35 cram. >> it is a little about, hem when you're a kid and you want today be asked, say like what super power do you want, and you want to be invisible? this plane can fly virtually undetected, but president-elect trump making sure it's not taxpayer money disappearing here. it is quite expensive. they built the f 35 in 2001. the cost has nearly doubled since the launch in 2001. they were planning to by over 2400 of the planes and it takes

virtual reality to a whole new level. it has the six infrared cameras around the plane and it is streaming images to the pilot and back to the pentagon or other military officials. donald trump raised questions about how much it will cost. >> wow, i have two questions for you. $400 billion, for one or a bunch? >> a bunch of planes. >> what about last week with bowing? >> now they have a new deal with iran on the table. they say that means a lot of u.s. jobs. and donald trump says that he wants to trash and do away with.

so that could be a deal he targets. the second time in a week because last week saying this sweet about boeing building a 747 saying "they're building a new air force for future presidents but costs are out of control, cancel the order. boeing now in terms of this trade deal with iran is trying to lobby president-elect trump by putting out this statement. basically saying it will create about 100,000 u.s. jobs. think about the carrier deal that president-elect trump spent so much time on. >> who knew you could do so much on twitter. see you soon, my friend. >> will the trump bump continue to christmas and beyond. look at that.

19777. one company is not flying so high after taking a hit from a tweet from the president-elect. what is it like there today? >> there is a lot of buzz. everyone has their eyes peeled. a breather because the dow hit another all-time high in the session. right now it's up about 20 points. right now it would be six consecutive record highs. oil companies leading the way, but there is problems with defense. lockheed martin is still down, and this is well off of the lows of the session. so we'll see if it comes back, but the southbound, the nasdaq, both lower. so we'll call it a pause here. >> you know a lot of people are

watching trump's big summit coming up on wednesday, that is a big question, certainly, because we have seen a fierce rotation out of technology and stocks and thing things that are trump friendly like kat pillar. he is having a big tech summit. we'll see who goes up the golden elevator doors. some of the big names who we know will attend, facebook coo sheryl sandberg, time cook, larry and mary page. tesla ceo elon musk is not going. back to you. >> thank you so much. >> the first big snowstorm of the season is making its way east after hitting the midwest. a live report next.

winter weather slamming other part offed the midwest and east today. michigan could see as much as 10-inches of snow, places such as chicago have already seen more than half a foot, and that is definitely -- jeff, wow. looks like the snow has passed but that's not the worst of it this week, i'm afraid? >> no. you know what, often comes behind snow, well, snowmen. this guy may be concerned about global warming because he is drooping. but if he hold on not going to get warmer. this week in the upper midwest, chicago and fargo, minus 15, by thursday. minneapolis will be minus six. zero in green bay.

it's going to get very, very cold in the upper midwest this week. >> wow. it is winter so i guess we expect that but the airports were a mess. how are they doing now? >> they were. 1200 can sayings a o'hare, 1600 system wide, and today the latest number from o'hare is 93 cancellations. so much better out of -- aircraft out of position but runways were icy yesterday. i flew in from florida, and when we finally got stopped, the whole aircraft erupted in applause. we had not slipped off the runway like the one in detroit. all good so far. >> 93 is better unless your on one of the 93 flights. jeff flock, thank you. get warm. save that snowman. call it operation moose loose. rescue crews saving the animal of it gets stuck in a frozen

river. we'll show you how -- look at that. woo.

so, you think it's cold out there? how about cold in there? a moose on the receiving end of a river rescue operation after being stranded in an icy canadaian river. local firefighter came with sledgehammers to clear a path our. the royal canadian mounties came to assist. the moose made it to shore. what brown, do for you this holiday season. may look a little different than the big boxy truck. ups unveiling cargo cruisers. the company taking the electronically assisted troy cycles for a spin after a successful pilot program in germany. no word what kind of test

drivers have to take or leg strength before getting behind the pedals. looks kind of fun for the first mile or two, then you're like, i don't want to do this anymore. here's shep. >> it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 in washington, dc, where the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has a warning. the russians are not our friends. he is among those republicans supporting an investigation into intelligence agency assessments that russia hacked our presidential election, but president-elect trump is peninsulassing the hack attack, saying if he played that card people would call if a conspiracy their rearview mirror its at -- their -- it's not a card. it's the assessment by the national security agency. that man, is ready to page rex tillerson as secretary of state. he has closes ties to? your
