[gunfire] >> isis is now taking credit for that terror attack in turkey that killed dozens of people. the gunman in a santa hat and this morning we're learning how that one american victim survived. how he was saved by his cell phone. >> plus the president-elect is back home in new york where he is preparing to share a major revelation about those russian hacks. >> what do you know that other people don't know?

>> you will find out on tuesday or wednesday. >> what could that be? we're going to check it out. >> maybe this was not a mistake after all. >> turn these monitors on please. all right, just with the lips

you see him there with incoming first laid city melania trump. down at mar-a-lago for the big down at mar-a-lago for the big he teased the fact something big may be coming this week. >> doubting american intelligence when it coombs to russian hacking.ç >> pretty serious charge. i want them to be sure. i know things that other people don't know. and so, they can not be sure of the situation. >> what do you know that other people don't know? >> you will find out tuesday or wednesday. >> only way president-elect trump can do it. i know something no one else knows. you have to wait a few days. we're wondering what on earth could this be. is this related to russian hacking? he could get out there make announcement about jobs or -- >> alluding to something deeper, let's get the facts.

find out what happened. what released so far is utterly insufficient incorrect. report released by dhs and fbi has been dismissed by a lot of people, not saying it was election hacking. let's see what happened. we can move forward. the trump administration is right to be skeptical of whatever obama wants to say happened in light of the political lens. not to say our intelligence officials are politicized. we know russia is trying to hack us. >> that is why he is walking a fine line. he has to be careful with tweets where he is saying vladmir putin looks smart. taking criticism from democrats and some republicans about the tone. we have sean spicer live on the show next hour. he wasç on abc yesterday suggesting that the real problem here is the obama administration has not hit russia hard enough. watch. >> in 2015, china took over a million records, sensitive data, people like me who worked in the government anytime, classified, personal information, where we

lived, things we had written down on applications and security clearances, and a white house statement wasn't even issued. no action publicly was taken. there is question whether there is political retribution here, versus a diplomatic response. >> sounds like you think the measures are too much? >> president-elect needs to sit down with the heads of intelligence communities next week, and get a full briefing, what they knew, why they knew it, whether or not the obama administration's response was in proportion to the actions taken. maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. we need to have the briefing first. >> he is hitting on question people have been asking for days now. that is about the timing of all this. >> sure. >> why when president obama knew this was going on from the russians, if that ends up being the case. >> back to 2015. >> 18 months ago, 2015, ed, to your point why now? how political was this move. >> was the response truly proportional. if you're saying russians elect, hacked our election, dispelling

35ç diplomats and closing two mansions way to deal with it. vladmir putin said we're not going to do it, we're not going do do the same. it will not change his behavior. almost makes us look worse because they ignored it. you want a sanction to have an effect. >> remember white house officials were saying a few days back, vladmir putin needs to cut it out. cut it out. not exactly strong diplomatic terms. speaking of opposition in another form here at home, the democrats are now making more promises about what they're going to try to do as the trump transition turns into the trump administration, vowing to make life miserable for trump's cabinet picks. in fact they have laid out now, who they, who they believe or who they would like to oppose. >> a hit list. >> you can't oppose everything and everybody. you have limited political capital. this is signaled by chuck schumer who they want to target. rex tillerson for secretary of state for reasons we talked about. senator jeff sessions. mick mulvaney or omb, and betsy

devos for education. look at each one of the departments why they're significant and why they might oppose. >> this is story i believe continues on rest of the week. the focus is the incoming administration. who is the cabinet. who are main players going to be, particularly secretary ofç state. that is arguably what we're facing today, the most important role that we have. >> israel, russia, so many hot spots, syria. >> his relationship with vladmir putin. they will focus in on that. someone like mick mulvaney, a fiscal hawk, bonn at budget. on education they will try to defend common core. betsy devos says she is not for that. >> "new york post" has a report out saying that in private president-elect trump has been saying that he actually gets along better with chuck schumer who is vowing to take on these nominees to make their lives miserable. he gets along better with schumer than speaker paul ryan and senator mitch mcconnell. they were kind of lackluster to say in the least in supporting

him. that is big question as well, moving forward. schumer will throw out bombs to go after nominees to keep the democratic base happening. will he cut deals with the president-elect and tax reform and other issues. someone who wants a seat at table is donna brazile, dnc chair, who while at cnn was working to make sure that hillary clinton got debate questions, town hall forum questions, wait a second, all that should be forgiven. let's move on, let's turn the page. i want a seat at table. democrats should have a seat at table with donald trump. watch.% >> he has enormous opportunity as every president in the first 100 days to show that you know, he is eager to find common ground, to meet with, you know, democrats. i heard from elizabeth warren. i heard from bernie sanders. i heard from a number of democrats that will fight but they're also, you know, other democrats saying look, put

something on the table. let us work together. see what he proposes on education. see what he intends to do in terms of obamacare. >> here's the thing though. this is someone who just not handed over questions or helped hillary team. you remember the interview after megyn kelly after the debates, had email written by donna brazile said this didn't happen. meghan said i have the email in my hands. let me read it verbatim back to you. >> now she wants a seat at table. exactly how the swamp works and we oppose you, lie about you, send debate questions but time to put us at table. we'll be good faith partners. do you think donna brazile and dnc want to be good faith part? look atç education and obamaca. teachers union and president obama's signature issue. they don't want to be good faith partners on solution. they want to protect his legacy

and fight with specials that got him elected. >> maxine waters congresswoman from california saying on msnbc, i will not meet with donald trump. i don't want to talk to him. donna brazile says we want seat at table. want to work with the president. that is not what elected democrats are saying. we'll not work with him at all. complete opposite. i think you guys are trend-setters. abc doing diner type thing with newt gingrich. i've seen both of you doing that for a while. >> give us credit. they see what is going on here. >> we'll own the diner. people continue to own that. we want to know what you you think about donna brazile and others asking for a seat at i believe at that. should they be trusted at table? >> is there room at table for them? you want bipartisan votes but are they coming at it -- >> friends @foxnews.com. other headlines to get to, starting with fox news alert.

has been horrendously bad for the world. he created conditions in syria, libya, yemen and other places for terrorism to thrive. we've got to stop it. that is the first thing. general dunford and pentagon is doing a great job in iraq to try to push back isis there. that is all necessary. we have to do more of that. secondly we have to work with the europeans. europeans allowed any number of reasons, especially merkel in germany, these radical islamic groups to establish a foothold. and so, one of the things we've been working on at the london center is lookingç how to enhae nato. during the cold war we had to face terror as well. my first operations in europe were under cover in the '80s chasing terrorists funded by the russians. we have to use the playbook to see how we effectively attacked terror then. we have to use it simultaneously and effectively and can't neglect doing our own things in the united states. simply put we have to go to the source of terror to cut it off

ahead of time. pete: how do we get our allies in europe the depth of this threat? they're looking how to wire government trucks to be triggered to shut down if they're used for an attack, as opposed to understanding this is ideology that wants to kill us? how do we change that mind-set? >> precisely. well-stated, you have to change the mind set. you can not go around and believe technology will be your savior. it's not. you have to get at the root of this. this is one of the things mike flynn and i always talked about quite a bit. you have to go at the root of the issue which is radical islam. you can not pretend radical islam does not exist. i believe the whole philosophy behind this white house's denial of that is going to change very rapidly. we have to go after the culture. simply, by the way, we have allies within the islamic community who do not wish toç e their religion completely bastardized by extreme radicals trying to run it now. we have to go to the cultural

level, not technology level to go after this. we can do that. >> colonel, if you're saying a moment ago, building up nato is a key part of this, president-elect donald trump is about to take office, and as you know, to say he has been a skeptic of nato would be a dramatic understatement. >> no doubt. that's something that i think that mr. trump, i think ratcheted back that quite a bit. one of the things necessary, for both the war on terror and facing off against russians, let me be clear, the russians are not good guys. they're not ones behind the hack they're being accused of, but they're not good guys and putin is a you this. we have to go at it two-ways. enhance mechanisms at nato to do intelligence sharing. it hasn't been done for the current war. donate toe 2.0. british want to work with us after the "brexit." they don't want to join with the european union army. they want to take advantage of it. i think mr. trump knows that. abby: how do you think president-elect obama will be judged about handling terrorism

religion is not important part of their life. these people are packing out the georgia dome for worship and bible studies and really doing good deeds in the atlanta area. this is really tremendous thing. pete: where did the idea come from? >> this originated from a bible study in texas that louie giglio. he was invited to deliver the inaugural prayer back in 2012. so that small little bible study grew into really global effort. one of the things they do, they really try to fight these sociaç justice issues, for example, human trafficking. that's a big push to try to stop that. they raised more than $8 million, these college kids raising more than $8 million to fight the effort. abby: what do you think is the biggest misconception when it comes to millenials and religion? you mentioned it, we see studies saying young people don't want to go church anymore. >> abby, i write about this in the book. there is a passion among young

this is a great farewell. these kids are doing good goods for god. pete: is this direction against our current trends of our culture? >> i think it is. kids are seeing what happens on the college scene, conservatives and christians their voices are silent. what the end of the day liberals are putting forward, secularists are putting forward is not meeting their needs. kids are looking for answers. they're finding them in groups like passion. louie and his team, chris tomlin, one of great worship songs, hillside, has one of the biggest churches in new york city. abby: thank you for reminding of us. we forget how important this is. never get enough of it. >> thanks. abby: coming up a law just took effect that says no work emails outside of work. should there be a right to disconnect? we'll debate next. pete: i don't have to reach her

>> he said he knows something no one else knows tomorrow or this week. pete: sean spicer will tell us. let's move on. 17, 18 minutes. abby: donna brazil who you remember from the campaign, democrats lost the election, democrats still deserve a seat at the trump administration's table in their is something to both sides coming together. laura: the cnn debate -- when asked about it, this is typical stuff. >> this is what donald trump should be treating their opponents and what they want

when sitting at the table, take a listen. >> you have an enormous opportunity, the first 100 days, eager to find common ground. i heard from elizabeth warren and from a number of democrats that will fight. democrats on the table, let us work together on what is proposed on education in terms of obamacare. >> may be we can turn the page. it is the opposite of what happened last week. maxine waters saying on msnbc we don't want to meet, i will not meet with president-elect trump when he takes office, don't even want to talk to him.

>> what the swamp actually does, always love to work and sit at the table, it is completely disingenuous on obamacare and education, let's breakdown the cartel the teachers unions have over education or obamacare is fixed, they will try to throw mud in the gears and sitting at the table is away to confuse and complicate the process. not clear donna brazil has shown any desire to be part of the solution. abby: you have to have republicans and democrats at the table having real conversations how to get it done and move forward but when talking about someone like donna brazil you have to ask can she be trusted? not just a matter of her leaking questions during the debate when she was with cnn but when asked point blank about it on fox news

by megyn kelly, the email in her hands, she still was denying that happened. whoever is sitting at the table, can they be trusted? all opinions on board -- >> steve says the seat at the table obama provided the republicans when he said elections have consequences? >> email from john, they just want to be there to keep president obama's legacy going, no way they want to work with trump. laura: no seat at trump's table for them, it is the people's table. heather: 7 there will be deals made, sausagemaking in washington is difficult but you don't have to go in saying what republicans have done for so long as unilaterally surrender, let's give away campaign

promises and water it down. we have a platform we were elected on, we will do that and if you want to be on board great, if not we will fight you. >> is he leaving? will president obama stick around? the leadership poised to topple obama's pillars, might be why he is racing to capitol hill to huddle with democrats figuring out how to save obamacare and why the president over the weekend was taking a victory lap, his version of the last eight years. speech >> eight years ago our economy teetered on the brick of depression. eight years later you have told a different story. we turned recession into recovery, poverty has fallen, incomes are rising. almost every country on earth sees america as stronger and more respected today than they did eight years ago. keep america moving forward is a task with also all of us. as i'm prepared to take on the

even more important role of citizen, know that i will be there with you every step of the way to ensure this country forever strive to live up to the promise of our founding. heather: 7 they lost the thousand seat in the legislature, people rejected this agenda but he says countries around the world respect us, find me one. he has a harder case on foreign policy in terms of the disaster in syria and a relationship with key allies like israel was on the economy he can make the case when he came to office he was in the fall and created millions of jobs without the growth -- he didn't create those jobs but as president you can take credit. laura: abby: a lot of the media got it wrong, pollsters got it wrong but there are folks in denial about this election, that

mister trump won including members of president obama's team or. remember them crying in the background, can't believe it is ending, valerie jarrett was on cnn talking about the last eight years and it had been scandal free and how special that is. >> the president prides himself on the fact that his administration hasn't had a scandal, hasn't embarrassed themselves but that is not because he is being someone other than who he is but that is who he is and that resonates with the american people. heather: 7 we did intense 7 seconds of research on the back of a napkin and able to cobble together these non-scandals of the last eight years. fast and furious, ungodly, irs targeting, seizing journalists records which i had forgotten about, the bowe bergdahl swap for five terrorists, the email scandal, you can read them,

scandalous show you how deep in the bubble valerie jarrett is. what else can you say? or nothing. it was 7 seconds of napkin research. laura: -- pete: we feel good about the upside and whatever. you can balance -- >> the obama team, he didn't have any personal scandal, something benefiting him. there is no clinton foundation thing where he was pocketing money. these were clear embarrassments, valerie jarrett said he personally embarrassed, wasn't something he personally --

decisions he made moves by his administration that were encouraged. pete: the biggest question is the direction you want america to move in. they want to move in a different direction. that is how to look at the conversation. other headlines to get to starting with breaking news. the media reporting eight people under arrest in connection with the new york nightclub terror attack in istanbul, the gunman is on the run. overnight isis claiming responsibility for that attack, 39 people dead, 70 others hurt, the only american victim from delaware shot in the leg. his cell phone deflecting the bullet, saving his life. >> i don't know. pete: investigators releasing this picture of the suspect

>> conservative paranoia running wild, that is what the left believes but a new survey is turning that theory on its head. and economist paul found 87% of hillary voters believe russia hacked democratic emails in order to help donald trump win. when asked if russia tampered with us vote totals, something president obama said didn't happen, have of clinton supporters believe it. sky benton is political editor and fox news contributor. out the gate explain those numbers the best you can. >> this is the survey asking americans about a series of questions they determined to be conspiracy theories. this one was about russia's hand in the election. the first question you referenced was did the russians hack emails at the dnc and elsewhere with an eye to influence the election? election adjacent hacking if you will and the vast majority of

democrats, yes they did and there is basis for that was the cia and fbi would agree with that assessment. that is reasonable. then there's the second question where things get into shady, murky territory, half of hillary supporters and slightly more than half of democrats generally believe the russians actually hacked the vote totals which is totally baseless and false, that is a conspiracy theory that a majority of democrats believe. this whole fake news phenomena and is a phenomenon exclusively of the right. why the assumption it is the right that believes fake news and everyone else has it right? because it is bias, both sides do this, partisans reflexively believe things they want to believe that further their narrative or predetermined bias, but it is not solely the province of the right or the left, this is one example. i love that you brought up this

fake news panic we got from the mainstream media and the left because this is partially that data point that was talked about that is attributable to fake news which i cannot tell you how many times i would sit and read headlines or look at lower third graphics on cable news networks, not this one typically, that used shorthand about the russian hack stories that the russians hacked the election or hacked the vote. that is conflation, that is lazy and sloppy reporting, and no basis in fact. even president obama has confirmed that there is no evidence of that. pete: t.a.r.p. the shorthand conflation is just that. here we are, after the election, how close are we, that maybe they got it wrong, maybe they are biased.

any indication that that is happening? >> some individual cases, the media will keep doing what they do. the left is not making a pivot whatsoever and they will keep sitting around saying it is fake news the cost of the election, russian hacking. if you want to create a bubble world for yourself that is one way of arranging a coping mechanism. that won't make you see the facts as they truly exist which is donald trump won the election, there was no hacking of the vote totals and to say otherwise is simply false fake news. pete: it hasn't influenced people's lives the way we wanted. the president-elect back in new york where he is promising a major revelation about the so-called russian hacks. >> you will find out tuesday or

wednesday. pete: we will ask incoming white house press secretary sean spicer next. a celebration goes off the rails when a drunk man swan dive into a car windshield. that is a police cruiser. we will talk about it.

pete: sean spicer's incoming press secretary, powerful man, happy new year. abby: we haven't congratulated you on that new role. >> it is an honor. pete: tell us about the russian hacking deal, president obama took too long, hadn't gone far enough but the russia was behind

hacking? >> not a question of what i believe but what happened and there is an intelligence report due out later this weekend once that report is made final in the president-elect is briefed, we will have a better idea what to make of this. pete: the cia and fbi issued their own reports that russia was behind the hack even if you don't believe they influenced it -- the election, do you agree with the intelligence community? >> this is a report you were referring to. i don't mean to be disrespectful because hacking is wrong, people shouldn't be interfering in not only elections but that 13 page report is a how to menu to improve the it security, they were a victim of spearfishing, there needs more -- passwords need to be updated on a regular

basis. >> was russia behind it? >> the question whether they were behind it, there was a lot of probing, when you go to various sites. the way the mainstream media works this up his they had an influence in the election, there is 0 evidence they influenced the election. that is what we got to get away from, allowing the narrative to become whether or not the dnc and other entities latch onto security and entities that influenced our elections. pete: the president-elect intimated there would be new information. is there information the administration has specifically that may show a different perception one way or the other? >> what the president-elect is referring to is he is briefed on a daily basis on different threats by his national security team and other members of the intelligence community but she's

privy to information no one else is but what he is driving at is there doesn't seem to be conclusive evidence in the intelligence community was people believe certain things was what we were waiting for the final report is whether or not it is conclusive, whether there is a general belief that is the general direction it is in. abby: a new administration, a new cabinet. a heated battle seems to be brewing on capitol hill. senator chuck schumer is vowing to make life miserable for mister trump's cabinet picks, how ugly do you think this is going to get? as mentioned earlier on the show, behind closed doors, my relationship with senator schumer is better. >> there are two issues, one is the cabinet is the most qualified and star-studded we have seen in modern history. the people coming into this will

be real change was on the political side it is disappointing, chuck schumer understands this was when president obama came into office the republicans confirmed 7 of his nominees before he was sworn into office and 5 of them were considered the following week for a total of 13. for democrats to talk about how they are going to obstruct these qualified cabinet members from taking office is sad and i think chuck schumer of all people, he was there, he understands the difference between opposing people on policy and allowing people to have the president to have constitutional right to choose his cabinet as long as they are qualified and each one of these people is unbelievably qualified to serve and bring real change to various jobs. pete: immigrant engine after your appearance donald brazil was on, someone who gave cnn and washington leaked questions from town hall forum stand debate through the hillary clinton camp as you know and she said on the program that she had of the

democrats deserve a seat at the table with president-elect trump. >> i would argue not so much because of their office but president trump's goal is to unify the country and bring everybody together who wants to help the country forward. you saw that when he met with tech titans, facebook, google, amazon am a people who oppose him but at the end of the day he understands the importance they play in creating jobs and moving economic growth forward. he wants to bring people forward whether they oppose him or not to move the country forward and implement an agenda of change, if donna brazil has ideas, we want people who share the idea of moving the country forward, whether they are republican, democrat or independent. >> mister trump's message has been to use a twitter account or other teams to speak to people. we have talked about it here. does he inherit the twitter

president-elect trump uses? will he tweet after january 20th? >> he is the president. pete: they will hand over the password? >> it is the government handle. they have 2. at the end of the day he understands the power of social media, 40 million people following various platforms, he understands the ability to go straight to the american people and have a conversation with them. that is unbelievable frustrating to the mainstream media but that makes him so authentic, he can speak on facebook and instagram, get a message out and have a conversation with the american people and not have it filtered through the mainstream media. abby: do you have to approve before he tweets? >> nobody approves anything donald trump, we work for him, we serve him, not the other way around. abby: maybe the inauguration,

benjamin that in yahoo, is that conference? >> it is not confirmed at this point. i can tell you a lot of world leaders he has spoken to, 75 expressing new hope that this administration will have then a voice and opportunity to talk about things they haven't talked to at the start of the administration for the past eight years, call after call, a sense of refreshing, they have been put on the sideline for the last eight years and under a trump administration we serve america's place in the world and have a relationship with our allies around the country we haven't for the last eight years. abby: we appreciate you coming in. some see the election hack allegations is the first test for president-elect trump's foreign-policy. former us ambassador john bolton on this could be the dawn of a new era. pete: could be a bitter conspiracy that aliens don't know what they are doing --

they have said. vladmir putin defines russian foreign policy entirely on the basis of russian national interests. and he has gotten away with a lot in the last eight years. expanding russian influence in eastern and central europe and annexing crimea from ukraine through military force. expanding russian influence in the middle east in a dimension we haven't seen in 50 years, and at least according to the information that the intelligence community believes, trying to meddle in our luck shuns. if these activities are going to stop, then i think we can see a different relationship. abby: we have seen president obama over the past eight years try to set the reset button with russia, trying to get tough, telling vladmir putin to cut it out. it does not seem to have worked. now this falls on to mr. trump's lap and to figure out how to do something differently to send the right message to vladmir putin?

>> i think the putin style of foreign relations is one that respects strength in its friends and in its opponents and they have tested the obama administration over these last eight years. they have repeatedly seen obama give way when russia asserts itself. it's just one thing after another, giving up our missile defense, national missile defense assets in poland and the czech republic, signing a disasterous strategic arms treaty with russia. setting red lines in syria. this list goes on longer than we have. if you're vladmir putin, you see the weakness great, i will exploit it and he will continue to exploit it until we don't let him. pete: mr. ambassador, you said mr. putin sees strength through nationalism. angela merkel and others leaders in europe talking about

nationalism and talking about the greatest threat germany is facing acknowledging it is radical islam and they let in a million migrants over the year. she said the solution to defeating radical islam is compassion. when will she learn and will she learn and when will they confront the migrant crisis in europe? >> that is one reason chancellor merkel is in trouble in the elections we'll see in germany later this year. you've seen reaction all over europe, that the european union migration policy has not been just inadequate but left europe very much in danger the we'll see if the europeans pull themselves together. there is no evidence at this point frankly that they really recognize the danger that they're in, or the damage that they have done to themselves by a lax immigration policy whether that will change will be one of the big political issues the coming year. pete: absolutely. do you have any sense that

president obama's policies can be reversed as it pertains to extreme vetting and the threat that could pose to our country, migrants or refugees not vetted could poe -- potentially seek to do us harm? >> that is fairly easy to do. you look at our asylum over the years consistent with international treaties we've entered into. people in war zone particularly don't want to live where they are now, don't have right to come to the united states. asylum is granted to refugee applicants if they show belle founded fear of persiancution based on political views or ethnicity not just because they're in dangerous place. if we insisted people meet the standard and we said are these people risks to the united states, things would change dramatically. pete: policies are there just a matter of using them. abby: we'll leave it there. ambassador, happy new year. >> happy new year. ed: after his wife's crushing loss to donald trump, president

pete: coming out of the election and bringing it back to the foundation, daniel, basically hillary clinton, bill clinton no longer have favors to give out, right? she didn't win. this will be a key test for donors of the foundation, did they really gave the money in the past because they wanted to change the world or did they give the money to impact decisions at state department and potentially at the white house? this is a big test now. >> that is exactly right. a lot of people saying if you want to help fight aids and charitable organizations there is a ton of charity organizations. giving to the clinton foundation is clearly away to earn closeness to people in power. that bet by a lot of people didn't really pay off, right? it didn't really amount to much. question is how much can they raise now? i would venture a lot smaller than what they were raising a couple years ago because people were giving in order to gain access. and that access is now not worth nearly as much as it was worth.

♪ ♪ abby: i love our producers. what a perfect song. >> a little justin bieber to get going. >> that wasn't on the screen. ed just knows that. >> that was kind of embarrassing. nice. abby: that is brilliant. who knew that ed had that in him? >> different angles. abby: we've been following a story the second one is about to hatch and the first one hatched on our show on saturday morning. >> i had it on my phone during the entire ambassador bolton segment. we were engaged, but i was making fun of it before and now i can't get off my phone. >> for an hour and a half or so, you were down on eagle cam, so we were worried you were down on america and now you're back. >> making a come back. we're following it.

if the second one hatches on fox and friends, you will know it. >> what does donald trump know about russia that we don't know? abby: he left a lot of people, including us hanging on saturday when asking about what's going on with russia and the hacking situation. he said only the way that mr. trump can. well, i know something that nobody else does. here's what he said. >> looking from the outside doubting american intelligence when it comes to hacking. >> well, i just want them to be sure because it's a pretty serious charge, and i want them to be sure. and i also know things that other people don't know. and so they cannot be sure of the situation. >> what do you know that other people don't know? >> you'll find out on tuesday or wednesday. >> so he's pointing out the fact that everyone wants to get the bottom of it and get to the information responsible. we've seen reports that seem thin, experts talking about conflicting reports. generally there's a sense that russia of course is trying to

do us harm. let's get the professionals in there and get a sense. >> does the man know how to build drama as well? >> maybe tuesday, maybe wednesday. >> he's got a real talent for that. we had sean spicer on the show last hour, and we asked him specifically about that, and here's what he said. >> there is 0 evidence that they actually influence the election. and i think that's what we've got to get away from is to allow the narrative whether the dnc and rnc didn't have lacked security and whether there was an entity that influenced our election. i think what he's driving at is there doesn't seem to be conclusive evidence. there are people who believe certain things. but what we're waiting for is this final report of whether it's conclusive or it's just general belief. clayton: you know, that's a good point, we even heard it

earlier from daniel from the new york post, that's why trump got elected. he pushes back on those narratives probably more than a lot of people normally would. but it's because if you don't, it becomes a talking point as to why he's legitimate. >> they're not random. these are intelligence officials of the u.s. government who are saying russia was behind it. clayton: the inflation of media of election hacking as opposed to medaling and clearly the dnc was hacked. the fishing attempts, all of that. but the fishing at the top to change our vote tally. >> i agree but sean spicer would not answer the question. was russia behind those hacks? abby: but he may not have the full answer to that either. >> but the intelligence community is saying we were. unless the incoming trump administration doesn't believe the intelligence community. clayton: we've seen that fight happen. >> donald trump says i've got

a little bit more information, so he's going to add a little bit more spice. abby: but every president, they've all had the chance to press that reset button when it comes to russia. we've seen that with bush and now mr. trump is going to get that opportunity. he's saying i'm going to do it my way. president obama has had eight years, i'm doing it differently. >> one person may stand in the way, though, is which you can schumer, and he has a whole bunch to say. clayton: that's right. he's bringing in a new cabinet. they've got a lot of folks to confirm. and they're narrowing down. >> like a hit list. clayton: yeah, it really is. you've got limited political capital. who are you going to muddy the water with? this was mentioned yesterday, attorney general rick, charge of the budget and betsy devoss, each reasons why each do it, ideological

differences. abby: but it was a bit hypocritical. clayton: yeah, i think spicer had the numbers. and the bulk of the obama cabinet was sworn in immediately basically. they had hearings go in january before barack obama was sworn in because there was a sense less get this new government going. so we'll see whether these are the only four and they let a whole bunch of others go quickly. or do they drag this out for a while and leave the cabinet confirmed? clayton: a really good point. if both let the idea of incoming consequences, then you do have perpetual opposition in gridlock. >> wait. donna wants to help here. she's the dnc chair. she wants to bring everybody together. clayton: does she wants to give the questions to the nominees. >> that was so long ago. abby: months ago. she was on abc this week saying how she wants a seat at the table. here's what she says.

>> he has enormous opportunity as every president the first 100 days to show that, you know, he -- he's eager to find common ground to meet with, you know, democrats. i've heard from elizabeth warren, i've heard from bernie sanders, there are also other democrats saying, look, put something on the table. let's see what he will propose on education. let's see what he intends to do in terms of obamacare. clayton: so let's see what that seat at the table would look like. but who better than new said. >> that they will lose their nerve. they're going to arrive in washington and for them to be successful, they have to stake oppositions that donald will

not like and the left will hate. and my deepest concern is they're going to arrive, and you're going to have the greens going crazy over at ep aand interior. you're going to have the government employee unions over at civil service reform, the teachers going crazy over school choice. and these are nonnegotiable. if you're serious about school choice, there is no agreement with the teacher union. clayton: such a great point. if republicans go and unilaterally say we want to surrender, donald trump understood you stake out the strongest position and fight for it as your start, you get as close to it as you can. many republicans have a bad record of this. you bring the dnc into a seat at the table, is it just about that process? or are they going to water it down? >> yeah. i think newt gingrich is missing. aren't we hearing a lot of chatter behind the scenes. they're going to fight on a whole bunch of issues, but i think, abbey, they're going to fight other stuff. abby: he did say we need both

sides to come together. that's obvious, but what's key here is you need to trust who is at that table. and when you're talking about somebody like donna brazil, you mentioned what we went through over the last few months leaking questions with the clinton camp. but denying that on fox news with our own megyn kelly. >> and then persecuted right now. abby: so it's a matter of who those people are. clayton: and then what issues you can compromise and find common ground on. but find me the place where they want to compromise on epa. you either win or you don't. and in some places, you're going to have to fight. abby: trump likes to win. >> he loves winning. al responded they think they deserve everything. i doubt they will earn a. abby: donna has a welcome seat at my table any time. to work together towards a

more secure table. clayton: there we go. kevin tweeted this is the biggest example for prizes for losing. everything that's wrong with the safe space generation america. you lost. abby: lot of different opinions out there. clayton: i've heard they come in pretty strong for not compromising out the gate. that's what i've heard in my ear. >> by the way, that seat at the table. you guys have been here bringing us to those tables all around the country. diners, you're going in a few days. abby: mobile, alabama i'm going in a couple of weeks. >> long island. abby: got to work on that accent. clayton: got a good accent. abby: listen to his mom, who i adore. >> her cooking show, maybe? abby: she wants a cookie show. >> she still feels bad about it. abby: say long island. >> long island. abby: that's not how you say it. clayton: long island. abby: we have other headlines

contributor former democratic campaign director. i want to start with you, what happened to president obama at the beginning saying his first priority was making sure things were set up nicely for president-elect trump? >> well, i think that continues to be a priority in the white house officials continues to say that they're doing everything they can. i think what you're seeing here is something that commonly happens. you have to continue to govern as the plaintiff with your ideological beliefs and plaintiffs until january 20th at noon. so we saw this happen back in 2008 transition with george w. bush where he signed, like, a multiyear agreement with the iraqi prime minister, and i think, you know, at the time what he said is the same thing you'll continue to see president obama say. that they have to do what they're going to do to govern because they're still the president. and until that official transition is over. and i think that he is going. >> well, tony, white house officials say it is still

smooth. how do you see it as a republican? >> barack obama has changed 40 years of american policy supported by republicans and democrats by allowing the un resolution vote against the state of israel, one of our closest and most steadfast allies. that's not governing. that's changing the trajectory of american policy when in essence, earlier is breaking also a larger tradition by which presidents do not do so while they're on their way out and do not try to undermine so deliberately. what we know the administration on the way in wants to do. obviously donald trump has been a very strong proponent of a pro israel policy. when you look at russia, look, i think barack obama has basically failed in eight years of trying to be muscular and strong when it comes to managing vladimir putin, and he took a parting shot. i think it's rather meaningless. some even democrats think it's a little too little a lot too late. so therefore, i don't really see the sense in these policies. >> i saw her shaking her

head. >> just use an example of how president george w. bush did something similar and what we have to remember a lot of the steps have been there. so i don't think he's trying to do anything that is, you know, beyond or breaking history here and what has happened. presidential term transition after another. i think this is what we typically see, and this is what happened. >> tony -- >> and transitioning power, this is what happens. >> tony, i'll let you jump in. but i also want to ask you to be fair here because you got your shots in at president obama and in terms of one president at a time, why then is president-elect on twitter basically conducting foreign policy going back and forth with vladimir putin and others when he's not president yet? >> barack obama has exited stage. spent most of the last month on vacation. they're inheriting a world that is chaotic because of the lack of american leadership and authority for the last eight years. so you can't expect

president-elect trump to sit on the sidelines and making america doesn't participate in what we're supposed to be doing, which is the leader of the free world. i will say and to the point that was made earlier, this is unprecedented. do not conflate the fact that presidents are clearly in charge until january 20th. this is setting new policy, altering a policy that we've had for 40 years in the closing days, and it's done so to deliberately undermine the incoming administration. but these are roadblocks. these are temporary, done through executive order. >> running out of time. 15 seconds. go ahead. >> i will just say that like i said in the example of george w. bush, he basically tied president obama's hand with a rack, which was, you know, a matter of national security and extremely important, and he ties his hand to that timetable. this is something that's not unprecedented, and this is something that happens, and we need to make sure our president can govern until that transition of power is over. >> happy new year. thank you for coming in. >> appreciate it. >> thanks. still celebrating and having a

fit, some celebrities anyway are having a fit over the election. >> he has to step down before the inauguration, before they give him the nuclear code. >> step down before the election. radio host has a message for the view. next

derangement syndrome that's continuing. it's been a month now, and they still can't wrap their arms around the fact that they lost this election. and it's not that they lost it, it's how they lost it. they lost in wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. donald trump used twitter to go around the mainstream media that we found out because of wikileaks was literally not only bias, which we knew but conspiring, colluding with the clinton campaign for her to win. so they're still in the state of shock. it may take them four to eight years to get over it. abby: or they could move like so many of the celebrities said they will do. they said i will leave this country if president-elect trump, i haven't seen any moving trucks yet, have you? >> i don't think so, and i think if i'm not mistaken, whoopee gollberg said i'm going to move to jupiter. i don't know what the property values are there, but i'm sure she can afford it. abby: so the rockettes are performing, one of the performers said this is making our show our job, our name,

branded as right wing and extreme right wing. there's a reason why everyone else is turning this down. why are we not? that's mary who is a rocket company.. and in a clear interview in december, have you seen this sort of backlash in the past? >> i haven't. and you have fashion designers who is they will not dress melania, artists who are asking to take down work from the walls in their apartment. i haven't seen anything like this. can you imagine if somebody said i'm not going to dress michelle obama? they're going to scream racism. there's a sign in hawaii that said if you support donald trump, no nazis. imagine if someone put up a sign if you voted for president obama, you're a socialist. abby: this is exactly why trump won this election and why so many people got it

wrong because who he was speaking directly to was the american people which is now why he's saying i don't even want the a listers there, this is about the american people. that's who i'm doing this for. >> that's exactly why he won. oy whole lot of people working harder, making less money and because they're dissatisfied with the company and how the country's gone. they are a victim of white lash. i mean, it's outrageous and a lot of people felt talked down to, felt dismissed, felt ignored, and that is why donald trump won this election. abby: all right. what do you think is going to play out at the inauguration? how do you think the inauguration is going to play out? >> i think it's going to be just fine. who needs the a listers? they're almost counterproductive. i think donald trump is better off having a peoples inauguration. abby: he's said that. larry elder, good to see you this morning. >> you too. abby: coming up a college professor calling north carolina communist cuba. is that fair?

the market did get a little bit ahead of itself. and you may see selling earlier in the year because a lot of people know taxes are going to be changed. so why pay the old tax rate when you can pay the new tax rate? that's great. let that happen. but overall donald trump in the first 100 days if i can see him get individually tax reform, reback a lot of these executive orders, get concession on nafta, obviously set the blueprint for obamacare because it can't be done overnight. those five things i think spark this market to go substantially higher. and we're seeing it already, by the way. >> yeah. >> not just in confidence numbers but in real hard-core data about the economy. >> you watch the markets for us but also have a keen sense of what american businesses, what they're dealing, the issues in the workplace and there's a new law that took effect in france. basically a right to disconnect. businesses where they say with at least 50 employees. if it's after work hours, you do not have to respond to work e-mails. we've been asking our viewers all morning. but terry says if you don't

our work, we are telling the terrorists, you are murderers full of hatred. but you will not determine how we live and want to live. we are free, compassionate, and open. abby: and of course this comes just shortly after that attack at the christmas market there in germany. you say that she still has some lessons to learn. what are those? >> well, yes, i mean, this speech, there's a name for this in the mental health profession. it's called cognitive dissidents. it's when an individual holds two completely contradictory things to be true at the same time, abbey. and you can't have your cake and eat it when it comes to these two issues. you cannot say we will have unfettered immigration from war zones and places where jihadis are active and also be safe. we've seen it before. this isn't the first time. we've seen it again and again and again that the attacks in europe connected to immigrants. in some cases, immigrants who had asylum status, refugee

status. even here in the united states, there was a congressional report recently. we have prosecuted about 500 people for terrorism since 9/11 here in the united states. half of them were not born here and many of them were on visas that had expired or were actually asylum seekers here in the united states. so you can't have national security and as much immigration as you want. abby: right and we're seeing this play out all over the place. most recently in istanbul, turkey. but we've already seen it in our own backyard. you think about the nightclub attack in orlando just this past year. how do we here at home live in reality? how do we get this right when it comes to fighting terrorism and handling a refugee crisis? >> well, first thing's already happened. the american people have spoken. so on november 8th, we've elected somebody who gets it. who understands that having borders, having real vetting, not the false kind of, you

know, smoke in mirrors that we have today is absolutely nonnegotiable. donald trump is going to change how we do this. we're going to see numbers decrease. and also, one of the big things we have to do is follow the lead of the nypd. the nypd after 9/11 felt the fed betrayed them and developed intelligence. we have to have the capacity for law enforcement to profile and to go into the places where they're undercover assets, where the bad guys are. political correctness has to stop if we're going to save american lives. abby: yeah, i think that's well said as we go into a new year, we have got to get right. dr. sebastion, good to see you this morning. >> all the best. abby: have a good day. republicans winning so much, it is destroying democracy. that's a controversial claim from a professor in north carolina. that professor is joining us live next.

. >> welcome back. a political science professor at the university of north carolina says the state is no longer a democracy partly because the statewide republican party has been too successful at winning. andrew reynolds writing a column saying in part north carolina's overall electoral integrity places us alongside authoritarian states and pseudodemocrats like cuba, i notice nearby a. but is this really a fair assessment? joining us now the professor behind that column, andrew reynolds. professor, thanks for joining us this morning. really appreciate it.

so your argument is there's been such a consolidation control of elected positions in north carolina that north carolina barrel quantifies as a democracy. is that what you're saying? >> well, let me start by saying this is not a partisan issue. it's not about republicans winning elections or democrats winning elections. this is about the rules of the game. and the electoral integrity project, which i reported upon was saying that if you look at the election moment, that one discrete part of democracy, north carolina had actually atrophied to sort of middle-ranging state. it wasn't fully functioning as a democracy anymore. but what i did was try to add that to some other indicators that we use in political science and basically look to other. so the courts had ruled unconstitutional in north carolina. the courts have blocked the recent moves on the executive legislative power in north carolina. and the courts have said that

there was a targeted precision targeting to african-american voters to exclude them. so what i'm saying is that if you add all of these pieces together, what you've got is an unhealthy democracy. >> okay. >> so this is really a call to try to think about how we can improve. >> so, professor. >> how we return ourselves to a democracy. >> you're saying one thing unhealthy. redistricting and all of that for both republicans and democrats have put themselves on scale for a lot of states for a long time. but you go far in the alter. you want to read one excerpt. you say north carolina is not only the worst state in the u.s. for unfair districting but the worst entity in the world ever analyzed by the electoral integrity project. we're talking about states like iran and saudi arabia where entire classes of people are not allowed to drive or -- second-class citizenship. how do you make that -- can't you see how a lot of us look at that and say that's going way too far. >> no. i think you have to

look at the specifics of what we're talking about. we're taking the vital signs of a patient, and we're looking at one specific element, which are the drawing of district boundaries. now, there are many authoritarian regimes where the boundaries mean nothing. but when you have a democracy, when you draw the lines to allow voters to choose their representatives, then you actually have to have a system that gives a fair shot to every side to win or loz. and our problem in north carolina is that we have lost competition from the system. and that hurts democrats, and it hurts republicans. >> so that's not just north carolina; right? >> no longer -- absolutely. >> california, and new york state and -- so you make a very good point. one point tearing with very much so in the article is nonpartisan redistricting jerry mannedderring squashes one side or the other, have insured jerry mannedderring levels the playing field. so this is not just republicans doing this. this is a system that's rigged

by the side in power. >> absolutely. and that's absolutely true and democrats as i've said in other pieces have been as culpable as republicans in the lines. that's part of the system. it's an inherit problem of the system that we have today. so i think one step is nonpartisan independent district commissions. but there are lots of other steps to be taken. we have a handful of seats in carolina that are competitive. so what happens then is you get bills passed that are not approved by the population, per se. hp2 has a 55% -- >> yeah. but ultimately. the representatives of that bill or other, they're still accountable to the people. there wily be another election cycle. people are running away from that issue. how do we say that's undemocratic? there's been backlash, so they're responding. >> they are accountable to their core party voters.

so a representative like many other states is primarily accountable to his or her party but also to the voters that are perhaps a little bit more on the extreme. if you had redistricting, you would actually have representatives appearing to the modern center. >> professor, we're running out of time. i would love to keep this going. there are intellectual everywhere but doesn't make us the same as venezuela. we'll have to agree to disagree. more fox and friends moments awy what's the best way to get two servings of veggies? v8 or a fancy juice store? ready, go! hi, juice universe? one large rutabaga, with eggplant... done! that's not fair. glad i had a v8. the original way to fuel your day.

>> we have a big three hour tomorrow. >> love it. it will be fun. >> see you tomorrow. have a good day. >> the manhunt for that killer after another deadly attack has hit turkey. eight people so far have been arrested but the shooter is not among them. all in connection with that massacre that happened over the weekend at the istanbul nightclub that left 39 people dead. now isis praising that shooter as one of its own. good morning, i'm eric sean. this is america's newsroom. >> bill and martha are off today. turkey is vowing to bring the terrorists to justice. the initial moments of the attack. gunman shot and killed 39
