why do some cash back cards make earning bonus cash back so complicated? they limit where you can earn bonus cash back to a few places... ...and those places keep changing every few months.

the quicksilver card from capital one doesn't do any of that. with quicksilver you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. leave complicated behind. what's in your wallet? as after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. what about the people i care about? ...including this little girl. and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis

call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

>> the trump administration has just two cabinet positions left. the supreme court the president elect will have it almost immediately. >> new year, new president, mr. trump not expected to waste time nominating a justice. on the campaign trail he announced a list of 21 conservatives.

it is now whittling this down. >> we are going through the cabinet process right now. they worked with the federal society. >> got it down to just a few. the names are names they will love. >> the nomination will solidify conservative majority on the supreme court since his death last february the court has been operating with the 4, 4 split. president obama nominated judge garland to replace justice scalia. president elect trump said his choice would be pro second amendment and anti apportion. >> the new supreme court isn't the only big shake-up. reince priebus says the white house press corps should expect

some big changes. >> we have been looking at things called the daily ligwhit house fábriefing. i can assure you change is going to happen. >> priebus also mentioned assigned seating but didn't out looney specific changes. this bench operating sparking outrage. why? it has the word god on it. the memorial in oil city, pennsylvania violates the establishment clause of the constitution. the controversy is all over a quote by william pen a founder reading this. if we are not governed by god we must be governed by tyrants. they will fight to keep the bench free of charge. then there's this, the phrase holiday party is offensive. according to a college sparking outrage for asking students and staff to not use the words like christmas or holiday.

they are not politically correct enough. the university uses words like end of semester or end of school year. no red or green samples christmas trees or rudolph. >> now to your health. a possible break through in the cause of autism. women who had low vitamin d levels when they were 20 weeks present were more likely to have autistic child. most prenatal vitamins of what they see but they could not con taun enough. >> could this be the key to happiness? >> i need to feel you jerry. >> show me the money! show me the money! show me the money! >> great scene there. it turns out that it is actually

intelligence community are carrying out disinfo in the campaign against the president elect of the united states. >> if you ask the white house it is all donald trump's fault. we are live this morning in washington. >> we have a chance to stop trump with the electoral college. >> desperation hitting a new low as the ladies of "the view" try to hatch a new plan from keeping the president elect from taking office. >> holiday delivery game changer. amazon delivered its first package by a drone. you won't believe how fast it got there but did it end up in one piece?

>> a live shot of the studios you are watching "fox & friends first." i am heather childers. >> i am has beabby huntsman. a p brand new twist in the allegations that russia hacked the election. new claims that donald trump knew about it all along. >> the outrage is boiling over as they get canceled. >> we are live in washington, d.c. with more on this. >> good morning. it is hard to have a briefing about cia conclusions regarding cyber attacks nobody in the cia actually wants to come to the briefing. that's why the house intelligence committee had to cancel a meeting today about cyber attacks. the chairman devin nunez says it is unacceptable the directors

would not fulfill the house intelligence committee to request to be brief on the cyber attacks that occurred during the presidential campaign. our panel has been looking into reports of cyber attacks during the election campaign. we want to clarify press reports that the cia has a new assessment that it has not shared with us. another republican congressman peter king from new york has a warning for whoever is going public with privately shared intel about the election. >> people in the intelligence community are speaking out with information in the campaign against the president elect of the united states. if they are not doing it it must be someone wifrom the house and senate would be doing a full investigation of this. >> press secretary josh ernand of egging on hackers during the campaign. they stopped short of the

campaign saying hackers are the reason that mr. trump won the election. thank you. peter a brand new fox news poll giving us a closer look of how people feel russia attempts to influence the election. breaking it down for us president and partner thank you for being here. >> have we seen you since the election? >> we have just that week. >> this is for the first polls we know about how people are feeling since then. >> it is fascinating. people are excited and optimistic. it is not necessarily what you are seeing in the mainstream media. >> let's take a look at the first poll. this is russia's attempt to influence 2016. who did that help? was it donald trump or 32 think that, hillary clinton just 1 percent. not impacting it at all 59 percent. >> i think this is a really important thing for people to notice. 59 percent that is well more

than half. it did not impact the election. >> not if you listen to sflienl media. >> the total russian influence is going to be donald trump version of hillary clinton e-mails. people are going to be talking about this. it is so shocked at the election outcome they need to explain it somehow. they are going to keep coming at it. there's not yet real evidence that donald trump knew and i think it's important that everybody remember that most people don't feel that this had an impact on the election. >> that relates possibly to the next poll where people are hopeful now. this is from the election outcome feelings. 59 percent hopeful, 50 percent are relieved thank god it is over, 45 percent embarrassed, 43 percent excited then you have empowered, scared, angry and depressed. 37 and 30 percent at the bottom. >> you can see most people are more on the positive side.

they are optimistic, hopeful, relieved. but the thing is there are people who are angry, embarrassed, et cetera. republicans have to remember that they need to bring these people along. they are in many ways angry and scared. when that happens people are emotional can't necessarily make rational decisions. i think republicans are going to have to make emotional appeals that will make them trust things are going in the right direction. we are already seeing a big shift in how they are feeling before the election and after the election. many people are coming along on the trump train so to speak. getting excited and enthusiastic liking the moves he is making whether it is technology summit or ceo summit. >> the cross-section of people coming into and out of trump tower directing to the people that i am sure making a difference. >> this thank you tour is something that even though they are covering as a victory tour, it is making people excited,

optimistic. it is reminding people donald trump is committed to being president for all americans going out there not stopping with the election. they are focusing on the what house and tv. no i am going to go out there and help the people. >> also going directly to them on things like twitter to thet them know what's going on first sometimes through the media. finally, donald trump's dealings with. you think he was too accommodating with russia? 50 percent say yes. too confrontational with china 43 percent. >> i think this is fascinating about how they feel. half of the people feel it is accommodating with russia they feel they are doing the right thing about russia. people are so concerned about how we are dealing with russia. most people are actually okay with how he is dealing with it and moving forward.

just remember he is not even in power yet. give the man a chance. i think they are really coming around and as they lomove forwa it is more and more comfortable. >> speakinger moving forward, the last part yes, believe trump's will. repeal obamacare. start with that 68 percent believe he will do that. revised trade deal 62 percent say he will do that. stop corruption 49 percent with that and 34 percent build a wall. >> i am really encouraged. people are believing he is going to do what he says and say what heans. if this is something that is really important he will go along with it and trust the president and believe he is going to do what he has promised. often times what happens is a lot of people run election

promises and all of that but they feel like they are not going to live up to them. donald trump has already acted. he has been doing things about the job, economy. people are really excited about what he has been doing so far. this is a very encouraging number and i think we are going to continue to see a lot more momentum. >> as you said last night, jobs, jobs, jobs. that's what he is going to focus on. >> thank you so much, lee. >> great to be here. >> nice to have you back. >> thank you, ladies. maybe this is why she lost the election. hillary clinton's campaign reportedly ignored warning signs from her ground team in michigan. political reporting staffers were convinced she would win the state by five points over donald trump. they were so confident they tossed voter information right in the garbage. they were wrong and mr. trump ended up winning that state. >> the ladies of "the view" still refusing to accept the results of the election. >> we have a chance to stop trump with the electoral college.

>> that is joy bahar bashing arguments on reports of russian interference. the co host sara haines quickly turning the tables on that one. >> the people spoke and those electorates are obligated then to vote that voice. to me, the rules were decided before the game. >> also saying not fair to go back and rewrite the rules now. >> another big pick for president elect trump announcing who will be singing the national anthem at his inauguration. ♪ >> that's when she performed here on "fox & friends." i remember that moment. she was given the honor she will be i think singing at the inauguration. the 16-year-old will be singing
