and you also get a lot smarter about the economy. are we going to hit 20,000 on the dow this week? >> absolutely. harris: all right are, you heard it from charles payne. stay with us for outnumbered overtime on the web, foxnews.com/outnumbered, click on the overtime tab. and also jon and jenna, "happening now." embassy to turkey. the diplomat is now dead. it happened in turkey in which the embassy was delivering a speech. we are juste getting the first photos. and eyewitness they shouted god is great in a rabic. he continued to rant. and that rant was said in turkish and that is notable for a few reasons. joining us ini tan bull.

this happened a few hours ago 9:00 p.m. in turkey. what is the latest from the local report. >> there is a load of information coming through. and video evidence, a gunman opened fire from the rear of the ambassador in anchorage. and shooting in 3 or 4 times in the chest and proceeded to go in a round saying remember syria and aleppo. you will not be safe until they are safe. and according to the best information we have had so far. it seemses that the turkish, and the mayor of ankara. it looks to be the highlight he was a turbish person and he has

assassinated the russian ambassador there. >> tom going back to it that point. we are looking at the image on the screen and viewerson social media there is a lot of video of the assassination to take place. and that's why we have an idea of what actually transpired. the man in the suit was standing behind the ambassador and he's speaking. you can see the ambassador being shot and he steps forward and goes on the rant. those are the photos we are getting because the associated press photographer was one of the first to report this happened nationally. the shooter has been early identified as some sort of law enforcement? >> that's correct.

it took place in perhaps upon the premier art calorie in anchor and turkey's capitol and that is just down the road from the u.s. ambassador. it has metal detectors. but he managed to get in to the event with a weapon and get behind the russian ambassador and fire and kill him. and it looks like he was in fact a turkish national and policemen. he does give a short snippet of a speech in a rabic. i speak a rabic and it seems like he was a turkish national. >> turkey has had their own issues with terrorism. it is going to be hard to unwrap with, tom, on a surface level

for the viewers. it is significant and a murder of an ambassador. talk about the tensions between these two countries, turkey and russia. and aside of the murder of an ambassador and the man's family and two countries, the fact is both turkey and russia are two player ares in if the war on syria and on different sides. they have had a lot of of tension. the turkish forces shot down a rusher fighter plane and this is going to have huge consequences. the turkish defense minister was to fly to moscow for a trilateral summit. and i don't know if those plans are going to go ahead, but it will affect the relationship between two countries.

and the officials are trying to present it as that it might be fine tuned by the united states perhaps. but however it plays out, it is no doubt it will be a hume affect. >> that is unvaluable information. there is a lot of experience. one of them was a military coup in turkey. the turkish government pointed at the united states as well. that is reaction to turkey and the assassination of the russian ambassador to turkey. you are seeing the alleged shooter in the middle of your television screen. thank you very much and we'll get more on the story as it develops. >> we are covering all of the news "happening now". >> what the democrats ought to do is look in the mirror and

face the reality they lost the election. >> in denial of losing last month and facing the dnc. how will the party get back progressiveses that voted for donald trump. and china took a u.s. navy under water drone. and when might/beijing give it back. >> and a spectacle straight out of a fairy tale. it is all "happening now". we begin with with a fox news alert. electors are meeting in america as they cast their votes for are the next president of the united states. >> and as we go on air now. electors gathered in maryland and will select the 45th president of the united states. typically routine event is

turned a little bit on itsed head. a nationwide push to choose another candidate. and opponents are trying to prevent him in the white house. it is important part of the story we are watching. and clay burrman live in pennsylvania, a state that was critical will in mr. trump's victory, blake. >> reporter: good afternoon to you. it was a campaign type atmosphere in the pennsylvania state house earlier today. look at video this morning, hundreds of protestors showed up to the front of the steps here in the state cant captain and they are getting the attention of police officers. they were hillary clinton supporter and as you mentioned, pennsylvania went read and one of the electors cast their vote for anyone other than

president-elect trump. >> i can't for trumpment the electors should not vote him in. she won the popular vote and aside from that they should vote for anybody but him. >> would you be saying that if the hillary clinton won? >> she was a qualified candidate. he's fit -- unfit to be president. >> reporter: it is a rarity in american politics. they meet not only here in pennsylvania but the 49 state and district of colombia. what happened on november 8th is likely to stand. >> we may see 1 or 2 stray votes, but nothing that will affect the majority of the electorial college and he will be the next president. >> reporter: jenna, we should

mention they had immense pressure on them. and the law enforcement official here in pennsylvania. that person said some of the electors in some instances faced death threats. jenna, back to you. >> blake, thank you very much. mr. trump received 300 vote and meaning that 37 electors would have to switch their votes. is this possible. we'll ask terry, who was with the bush and cheney and simon, former advisor to it bill clinton on. terry, are you nervous that the guy who represent the top of your ticket might not become president? >> no, i am not at all nervous. this is a terrific opportunity for the high school social study teacher ares to explain how the

electorial college works. it is a vast exploration of sour grapes. democrats lost the election because hillary clinton was a flawed candidate and failed to campaign in the states that mattered. she anyhow the rule and could have campaigned in michigan and pennsylvania and ohio and she dpaled to do that. and heree are about to ratify the election of president trump. >> simon, was it a bad election run by a bad campaign run by a bad p candidate. >> i think it was a complicated election and i have been critical of the campaign for having made unforced errors. there were significant mistake and trump out hustled her and we

got beat fair and fair and square. the fbi and russia was not enough to throw the election. trump goes into the transition president more unpopular and he will have a lot of work to do to bring along his whole party and country. >> sticking with you, simon, you heard are accusations that there is sour grapes out there and donald trump won it and hillary clinton lost it and democrats should get used to it? what do you you say to those points? >> as i said earlier, i thinkld to do. the majority of the people voted didn't vote for him and he would be wise to broaden his coalition to make his power strongener washington. what he is doing is continuing

to speak to republican and very conservative cabinet that he built and it would be smart for him not only to continue to talk to republicans, but reach out to those who have doubts about him. i am not optimistic about that happening, but let's see. >> should donald trump reach out to the left? >> he won more electorial votes in the election than almost 20 years for a republican. he formed a swift transition to power. and he's reaching out to the people who matter most and that is average american voters who feel they have been left out of the economy, and think they have been rejected by the powers that be. he put america first. it was a superior message in the campaign and as the transition

goes forward. >> all right terry and simon, we'll see what happens after the votes are counted. >> as democrats mull over what led to it the win. and what the democratic party needs to do to win back. joe trippi wes in next.

out about the cyber attacks on her party saying they continued through election season. that contradicts president obama's saying they stopped after he spoke to president vladimar putin. >> reporter: you are right. it is a discrepancy or the interim dnc chair has a misstatement of facts based on what she said on recent conversations. >> the president saided hacking story doesn't mean the candidate would have won. the american people spoke. and the only measure that matters. but the white house said it was the russians with the approval of vladimar put hacking stopped

when president obama spoke to putin. but it may not be true. >> no, they came after us every day until the end of the election. they tried to hack our system reportedly. we put up the best cyber security what i call infrastructure to stop them but they are constantly. >> why is the -- >> in early september when i saw president putin in china, i felt the mostective way to ensure that didn't happen, was to talk to them directly. and tell them to cut it out and there would be serious consequences if he didn't. and in fact we did not see further tampering. election process. but the leaks with wikileaks had already occurred. >> reporter: now the white house continues to insist. 17 different intelligence

agencies agreed there was no widespread systemic hacking after that conversation. but they are hopeful that the congressional law makers will look into this. >> do you get to fly home on air force one? >> i do indeed fly home on air force and that means red and white m&m. >> and a cocktail. i thought i was joking. thank you very much. >> just look in the mirror and face the reality that they lost the scomplekz they lost the election because they are out of touch with the american people and they are so shell shocked and can't believe it. russians and cian and leaked

reports and the president saying that the reason that hillary clinton lost was not because she blew it in benghazi and russia and secretary secretaries, and ignored the entire midwest and people didn't like the product. that's why she lost. >> reince priebus weighing in. and political co featured one of them. it was a lifelong progressive that she voted for trump. will democrats care enough to win her back? 1 million twitter followers with a warning for democrats. and joe, you say democrats can't ignore voters like this one, are they? >> they can't ignore any voters. look accident that is what every american should want to get to

the bottom of the bipartisan committee. and how it happened and why. but for democrats. we have to look at what did happen. our flaws and campaign mistakes and when you lose by 78000 votes over the three states of wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania. and every single thing that everyone pointed to is the reason we lost. and as democrats, it is get-out-the-vote operation. it is because we didn't have enthusiastic support from progressive or we didn't reach out to blue collar factory worker ares in the midwest with. and i mean, all of these are legitimate reason and that's what democrats have to look at our own mistake and learn from them and fight harder to and four years from now.

>> this particular voter fits a certain profile. an african-american and very progressive on a few issues. and she's said the final straw had nothing to do with wiki leaks or russia. and it has to do with the final straw was clinton's deplorable's rally. hillary clinton insulted the working class voters. >> there was a lot of poling that shows that the deplorable moment certainly hurt. where we lost a lot of people we tried to reach out to that is to my point andy don't know if that is true or not.

but part of the problem if you you believe you are on the way to win withing the popular vote 2 or 3 million. you don't necessarily look back and ignore areas of the country and people. >> look forward to having you back. >> thank you, jenna. remember sales event get up to $2500 customer cash on select 2016 and 2017 models for these terms. see your lexus dealer.

china's shock drin net reduction and 548 workers 191990 and 2000. and 982000 between 2000 and 2007. some analyst say the president is wrong. >> it is exaggerated story. there is some truth to it. but the truth is not as big as the reality. the big thing that has happened, manufacturing is very innovative and productive. and technology has replaced just lots and lots of jobs. >> 2015 ball state university study said 90 percent of the job losses in the past few decades are due to productivity growth.

sued and so she's going after the hospital. there was a system's break down. and there is no grpt or cure can. best treatment for them to be monitoring and seek treatment and be on the medication. with all of the people that the obama administration has let out of jail, we need to make sure we have resources to make sure it is not happening in the country and will take money and time and cases like this it will not be better until we fix the system. >> the authorities tied him to five physical attacks on women just prior to the one we are talking about. in criminal court that could be be brought in to evidence. and that would be excluded as well. does that help heroine her case? >> in civil court would come in and help heroine the case. i know heather mepgdzed we take
