12:00 pm
the 2-year-old boys had been climbing on the open draws while the dresser tipped over. the twin pushed the furniture off of him. you have to attach that to the wall! >> the president-elect is flexing his social media muscle today. the new congress started to work, it also stirred up controversy. house republicans are making moves to weaken an ethics watch dog that keeps an eye on members. after president-elect trump questioned their priorities, they backed down. and the president-elect called out g.m. for sending jobs to mexico. but g.m. is fighting back. president-elect trump focusing on the overwhelming murder rate in chicago. thousands shot, hundreds dead. he says if chicago's mayor can't stop it, it's time for the feds to step in. let's do the news.
12:01 pm
i'm harris faulkner in for shepard smith. congress is back to work today and republicans are setting sight on president obama's legacy. they want to eliminate the affordable care act, a.k.a. obama care. more on that in a moment. right now at this hour, house speaker paul ryan is meeting with members of the new 115th members of congress for a photo op. they were sworn in minutes ago after ryan won a second term of the house. and joe biden welcomed in new members of the senate. the first time the republicans controlled the house and the senate since 2006. and it will be dramatic as you might imagine. with democrats digging in to fight the gop's conservative be agenda. president obama is set to meet tomorrow with democrats on capitol hill to lay out a plan to save his signature healthcare law. vice president-elect mike pence is scheduled to meet with
12:02 pm
republicans to talk about their agenda. donald trump said this on twitter. "people must remember that obama care doesn't work and it's not affordable. 116% increases. his example is arizona. bill clinton called it crazy. then he kinds of lit a fire under house republicans after they voted late last night to weaken the house's official office of congressional ethics. an independent panel in charge of weeding out corruption. the secret vote took place behind closed doors despite opposition from ryan and other leaders. president-elect trump weighed in on twitter. with all that congress has to work on, do they have to make the weakening of the ethics watch dog as unfair as it may be, the number 1 act and priority? focus on tax reform, healthcare and so many other things of greater importance. #dts. you know, drain the swamp. a couple hours later, house republicans responded by withdrawing their plans to gut
12:03 pm
the ethics office. they reversed. mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. who knew you could do so much with a tweet. tell us more about this controversy and why it's important for people to know. >> a lot of people said the timing wasn't right. just before a new congress. making it a gop effort when it could have been bipartisan. paul ryan was sworn in as the house speaker. no dramas there in the last hour or so. he got another term to be the speaker of the house. as for the outside ethics panel, some republicans say the timing wasn't right. note that democrats had complaints about that outside group as well. >> i think there's a lot of members that feel there's some reforms that need to occur. i'm the outgoing chairman of the house ethics committee. there's members that believe there's needed revisions. i'd say it's a bipartisan agreement. there's some changes that needed to be made. i voted against this particular amendment because of the oversight language. >> but it gave democrats a
12:04 pm
weapon after campaigning on basically emptying the swamp. essentially they were looking to modify ethics rules before a new congress began. harris? >> democrats are vowing to push back against the president-elect. i guess that's not typically news. but they are strong in their language. >> no question about it. fighting words here on what is typically a photo op day. you have democrats, even though they're the party, totally out of power with the new congress and a new president being sworn in soon saying that they're going to fight on areas of major disagreement. democrats are telling president-elect trump they will not be a rubber stamp for his agenda. they plan to be part of an accountability congress. they're pushing for what republicans intend to do in terms of replacing obama care. >> mr. president-elect, what is your plan to make sure all americans can get affordable healthcare? we will hold the president-elect accountable for actually
12:05 pm
creating jobs and raising incomes. for growing our economy and lowering our trade deficit. >> already senate budget chair mike enzie of wyoming has unveiled a new resolution that would allow stripping obama care. it would require a simple majority in the united states senate as it would in the house. the assault on obama care by the republicans is already underway. harris? >> mike, thank you. let's bring in judge andrew napolitano. fox news senior judicial analyst and friend. good to see you. >> pleasure. >> you might call this way into the weeds. i want to take us out of there and just maybe simplify what the importance is for the american public. there's a lot of things that need to get done. we're curious about obama care and what replace it. we're talking ethics today. >> the ethical problem that we see over and over again in the congress is where members of congress shape legislation to
12:06 pm
enrich their donors, which they're not permitted to do. and sometimes they do it in ways that it's so stealthy, it's difficult to find their finger prints on it. so in order to eradicate this, the ethics prosecution was divided between a team that would investigate and prosecute and a team that would judge the behavior of the congress person whose behavior has been called into question. the republicans wanted to get rid of the prosecutors. they wanted everything in the hands of the judges so the judges who are members of congress, three republicans, three democrats. it's three and three no matter which party controls congress. so the six would decide who gets prosecuted, what they're prosecuted for and how aggressively the prosecution would be. rather than having an independent bipartisan, nonpartisan professional prosecuting team that they hired in 2008. that's the people the republicans tried to get rid of in secret this morning.
12:07 pm
the president-elect, who has never been in congress, had the courage to say, what? i just got elected saying we're going to drain the swamp -- >> it's common sense. look. as you explained it to me now, i understand it even better when i've been reading that some of the people pushing for this might have had some investigations in their district. >> which is why before we came on air, you asked me do, we know who they are. the answer is no. we don't know who they are. because the proposal to get rid of this prosecution team was made in secret. >> we know the name of it was "good lap." >> i don't believe he's a defendant in any ethics prosecution. >> but his name was attached. >> correct. we know this was done in secret. so we don't know who the others were that supported it. we know they were all republicans and it was a majority of republicans. >> so are you okay with the
12:08 pm
ethics of that basic premise? house speaker ryan and others said they were pushing against this. they met in secret. i guess that is okay. we talked about ethics with the ethics people. >> it happens all the time. >> so it's okay? >> i don't know that it's okay. it's okay under the constitution. they can write their own rules. they can write legislation in secret as long as they reveal it and debate it in open. when legislation is crafted by people that may be the targets of these investigations, the people that they represent, their constituents, have the right to know that and they don't. >> all right. so a man who sat on the bench and yourself, have you ever seen a situation where we would find out the information through a tweet? we know everything. >> i've not. donald trump -- >> he's about that fight. >> donald trump has more power than he even realizes.
12:09 pm
if one tweet -- fewer than 140 characters can say to the majority in the house stop and they stop, that's terrific. it also shows that he's going to stand by something he promised, draining the swamp rather than going with his own party. >> i'm going to move on another issue that popped up today. on one side, senator schumer of new york as he's ready to lead the democrats in the senate saying he's going to try to meet with president obama tomorrow, going to try to stop the bleeding of obama care. what that could look like down the road. what do republicans need to be positioned to do as democrats go on the attack? >> the republicans need to be positioned so they don't look heartless. you just ran a clip from senator schumer saying, mr. president-elect, if you're going to get rid of obama care, how are you going to account for the healthcare needs of the american public? i'm sorry to tell senator schumer, that's not in the constitution. it's not a federal responsibility. the best thing the feds can do
12:10 pm
is stay the heck out of the healthcare market and let the free market find and cause inexpensive, unregulated healthcare for people that want to pay for it. >> you hear my new year has begun. judge, thank you. we'll be right back. >> an exclusive sit -- wait, before we go -- with julian assange with sean hannity. now watch. >> you say to the american people unequivocally that you did not get this information about the dnc, john podesta's e-mails, can you tell the american people 1,000% you didn't get it from russia? >> i love when there's more time for news. assange had an answer to that question. watch what he says about wikileaks influence on the election. now we'll be right back. tech: don't let a cracked windshield ruin your plans.
12:11 pm
12:13 pm
>> a julian assange exclusive. hannity goes one-on-one. >> was wikileaks working with the russian government to influence the election? >> and obama's reaction to a trump presidency. >> trying to delegitimize the trump administration as it goes in the white house. >> the must-see interview tonight. >> julian assange, as you can see, sat down with sean hannity. assange's website published hacked e-mails from the democratic national committee and hillary clinton's campaign manager, john podesta.
12:14 pm
some analysts say it had a major effect on the election. assange says people should focus on what is in the e-mail. >> did it change the outcome? who knows. it's impossible to tell. if it did, the accusation is the true statements of hillary clinton and her campaign manager, john podesta and the dnc, debbie wasserman schultz, their true statements is what changed the election. >> assange has been holed up at the ecuadorian embassy in london. he is accused of rape and sexual assault in sweden. he claims he's innocent. he says he won't go to sweden out of fear officials will ship him to the united states where he can face further charges for leaking classified documents. let's bring in brad blakeman and
12:15 pm
michael toddman, aide to chuck schumer. michael, i'm going to start with you. senator schumer is throwing down the gauntlet. bottom line it all for me. >> every day with senator schumer is an interesting day has been my experience. the wikileaks issue -- i'm going to get a lot of flak from my democratic colleagues -- i happen to believe that the underlying documents and information that was shared has not been denied. it's not been said it wasn't true. so if the russians make hillary not campaign in the rust belt? no. did they make anthony wiener do what he did? no. these are things that put out there just re-affirm people's
12:16 pm
impression and understanding able hillary. did this decide the election? i think the information decided the election. that information hasn't been shown to be false. >> you're also not getting the invitation to the hillary clinton reunion dinner. >> likely not. >> there's not one that i know of. brad, this is an interesting day for another reason. it has to do with what we're seeing play out on capitol hill. you have republicans in the house and senate. you have republican leadership coming in in the white house. you have back and forth over issue most americans wouldn't know about today. ethics. they were focused on pocket books and obama care. >> true. but you have to take issues as they come and they're right to be brought up. this is an appropriate time to do that. the american people, shortly after the new president is sworn in, will expect respects on taxes, healthcare, immigration. things that you point out, their
12:17 pm
daily lives. so if anything, we should heed the speech that speaker ryan spoke today. that is he spoke to republicans and democrats. chuck schumer spoke only to democrats. when the speaker -- when he took the speakership again, he did a challenge to republicans and democrats to work together. give donald trump the benefit of the doubt whether you voted for him or not. if you wish him ill, you wish the country ill. >> and i want to pick up with the assange interview in just a second. but first about bringing the country together. do the democrats just not get it? i look at the situation and the example that brad just gave today. isn't it time to come together? i realized what happened eight years ago. senator mitch mcconnell's promise to go against president obama. hasn't the country learned about that? >> i don't think keeping 14 plus
12:18 pm
million americans with healthcare is an issue. i think it's how to make it seem there's been substantial changes and revisions to obama care while still keeping 14 plus million enrolled with benefits that they're now enjoying and leading more productive, economically contributing lives. so there everybody has to be careful not to engage in an idealogical purity test and rather what gets down on the right to make it seem as if big changes are happening and among the democrats to make a deal that keep people enrolled and keep people with coverage. >> you dodged my question. are the democrats going to play nice? >> yes, whether it's infrastructure or finding ways to get people covered, there will be hard questions asked of the nominees and i think they will force productive conversations on the aca. we'll see real results on both sides that people can take credit for. >> i want for all of us to watch
12:19 pm
together when sean hannity asks julian assange of wikileaks what he thinks about russia's involvement in our election. watch. >> can you say to the american people unequivocally that you did not get this portion about the dnc, john podesta's e-mails, can you tell the american people 1000% you didn't get it from russia or anybody associated with russia? >> we have said repeatedly the last two months, our source is not the russian government and it is not state parties. >> brad what is important here? >> what is important here is the fact that donald trump won the election fair and square. now, russia has been a bad actor. we know that. russia's played this president because they could. that's going to change on january 20th. there's a new sheriff in town and donald trump will treat countries like they treat us.
12:20 pm
it's going to be putting america first. a deal is only as good as it is for both parties. if they done wrong, they're going to pay for it. they're not going to pay for it by this president acting against them. it's going to be the next president. that president has the power and that president is charged with carrying out foreign policy. obama is done. >> i want to interject quickly. are you confident, brad, with what has been said by donald trump, our president-elect, that he would actually do what you're describing against the russians? >> yes, i do. at the end of the day, donald trump's first and best interest is of the american people. not helping the russians. if the russians are doing us harm, i count on donald trump to speak up for the american people to act in our interests. i think he's going to do that. >> michael, your thoughts. >> it could be because i'm an attorney but i can drive a caravan of 18 wheelers through the technical language that assange had there it doesn't matter who the source is. i want to point that the u.s. has a long history with
12:21 pm
12:22 pm
i didn't know where i was from ethnically. so we sent that sample off to ancestry. my ancestry dna results are that i am 26% nigerian. i am just trying to learn as much as i can about my culture. i put the gele on my head and i looked into the mirror and i was trying not to cry. because it's a hat, but it's like the most
12:23 pm
12:24 pm
>> state media has released video of a man that may have opened fire in a popular nightclub killing dozens celebrating the new year. it was breaking news over the weekend. the video shows the man wandering around istanbul turkey's most popular square. police say they have not publicly identified him. but he may have trained in syria. this newly released video allegedly shows him at a currency exchange counter in
12:25 pm
istanbul. it's not clear if the videos are from before or after the attack. officials say a man hunt is underway for the killer and they have taken in 14 people for questioning. yesterday the islamic state savages took credit for the attack, which injured one american. our john huddy has the very latest on this. john, what more have you learned about the man that we saw in the two new pieces of video? >> yeah, eerie video at that. we heard that he's part of an isis terror cell in turkey, possibly the same cell that carried out the airport attack and bombing last year. turkish media, state media and other outlets are reporting that he may be from kyrgyzstan in central asia and that would jive with the terror cell connection. the suspected bombers in that airport attack were said to be from central asia as well, in particular, kyrgyzstan and
12:26 pm
uzbekistan. there's reports, harris, that police have detained this guy's wife and two children. that he through from kyrgyzstan to istanbul, they drove to a western turkish city, rented an apartment and he came back. according to the reports, apparently to his wife and police, that he came back to istanbul december 29th. they said she didn't know he was part of isis and never showed any sympathies towards isis. but this investigation is on going. we're waiting for more details from that from police. >> john, you and i have talked about the insidious nature of those living among us around the world that would do so much hate and harm. this speaks to the issue of how hard they are to follow and find. a lot will be said publicly a lot won't be. what are police telling us at this point? >> well, what we're hearing, harris, they have id'd this guy.
12:27 pm
they know who he is through his fingerprints that were left at the scene, also a weapon was left at the scene as you may recall. also through video and through the pictures and that selfie video that you talked about as well. again, that purportedly shows this guy walking through the square in istanbul. a very busy area. one of the main tourist locations. what is eerie, even as he's walking, you can see tourists in the background unaware that this guy who is possibly responsible for carrying out that attack, killing 39 people and wounding 69 others and at this point so far, harris, 14 people have been arrested. two men -- police retained two men at the airport possibly suspected of having a link to the attack, to sunday morning's attack. we're waiting for details. that said though, the country's bus and train stations, the
12:28 pm
airports and also the borders remain on high alert, harris, because of the concern that this guy may have slipped across the border into syria. he's no longer in turkey. >> intriguing that that link that you gave to his wife, his whole family and getting information from her. i had not noticed until you pointed it out, all the people behind him. so we're waiting to hear, was this before or after the attack. would they have noticed anything? seems like people were going about their lives. >> sure. the assumption is that this was before the attack. as i mentioned, according to these reports, he may have driven on december 29th back to istanbul. so it could have been this was just a couple days before. again, it is eerie. it's haunting. you do see the people behind him. clearly unaware that they're standing feet from what may have been this new year's day killer that turned this nightclub into a shooting gallery. harris? >> john huddy, thanks very much.
12:29 pm
president-elect trump is blasting an american company for making cars outside the u.s. and he's threatening to slap it with a tax. more about this ahead from the fox news deck. stay tuned. me eyes. same nose. same toughness. and since he's had moderate alzheimer's disease, the same never quit attitude. that's why i asked his doctor about once-a-day namzaric. (avo) namzaric is approved for moderate to severe alzheimer's disease in patients who are taking donepezil. it may improve cognition and overall function, and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. namzaric does not change the underlying disease progression. don't take if allergic to memantine, donepezil, piperidine or any of the ingredients in namzaric. tell the doctor about any conditions including heart, lung, bladder, kidney or liver problems, seizures, stomach ulcers, or procedures with anesthesia. serious side effects may occur, including muscle problems if given anesthesia; slow heartbeat, fainting, more stomach acid which may lead to ulcers and bleeding; nausea, vomiting, difficulty urinating, seizures, and worsening of lung problems.
12:30 pm
12:32 pm
12:33 pm
and there it is, the "baby bird". breathtaking. a sumo wrestler figure skating? surprising. what's not surprising? how much money heather saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. >> president-elect donald trump taking aim at general motors on social media. he's threatening to tax them for making cars in mexico and selling them in the united states. he tweeted, general motors is sending chevy cruzes to u.s. car dealers tax-free across the border. make in the u.s.a. or pay big border tax. g.m. executives say the only import of a small number of cruze hatch backs come from mexico and they manufacture all sedans at a factory near cleveland. ford announced they're cancelling a billion-dollar plant in mexico and instead going to add 700 jobs to its
12:34 pm
plant in michigan. pet peter doocy is live with more. >> executives at ford said they paid attention to what president-elect trump said on the trail. they said this was a business-first decision but there were certain things that helped them make it. >> when we look at some of the tax and regulatory reforming that he's been talking about, that gives us a lot of confidence. this is a vote of confidence that he can deliver on those things. >> talk about making better trade deals helped trump catch on during the primaries. he canadian a u.s. trade representative to do it. he's a veteran of the reagan administration. once a deputy trade rep there. and robert said that he's wanting to level the playing
12:35 pm
field for americans. his announcement is the first big one of the year for the transition team. harris? >> i read how president obama wanted to get rid of some of the people in guantanamo bay and where they might do before he exits. donald trump tweeted about that today as well. >> right, harris. the president-elect wants the current administration just to keep the gates at guantanamo bay closed for the next couple weeks until he gets there. again on twitter, the president said this. there should not be no releases from gitmo. they should be released back to the battlefield. one official came out to proclaim there's one president at a time. right now it's president obama. transition officials say they know there's one president at a time but the next one is entitled to his own opinion. harris? >> and around and around we go.
12:36 pm
peter, thank you. you just heard from the ceo of ford. that was part of an interview that we did with neil cavuto. you can watch the entire thing coming up at the top of the hour with "your world" rolls live. let's bring in michael binder. always good to see you. i want to start with the economic policy by tweet from president-elect trump with regard to companies and your thoughts about that. >> well, president-elect trump has been very busy on twitter today. >> yes, he has. >> and i think -- at some point he's going to have to answer questions about these. i don't think there's any problem with how he's been using twitter. you know, i think the problems come up here behind the confusion between the overlap between he and president obama and when he's going to take some questions about these tweets and what they mean, whether it's
12:37 pm
tweeting at companies or tweeting about his trade policies. you know, there's some real implications here. some details that will matter very soon. and he's going to have to answer for that. >> michael, i'm wondering, is there any down side? the american public is learning very quickly about what's going on at least from his perspective. he's not taken office yet. we're getting a taste. might that be a good thing so we know what's coming down the pike? and i don't know how you say it, but could it be contagious what ford is doing now, deciding we're going to stay in the u.s. with some of our line and we're going to make jobs. could it be having a positive effect? >> well, you know, i don't think -- like i said, i don't think his -- trump's use of twitter is a problem. the problem comes up when -- if he's going to try to use that to shirk his responsibility of
12:38 pm
answering any questions about that. right? i don't think theres any problem with trying to communicate to the american people. president obama has been very aggressive about doing that over the last eight years. but at some point he has to answer questions about his policy and take some questions about it. i think we're on day 160 of that so far without him doing it. >> i think we've been told now that he has a press secretary and his press team put together that we can anticipate and early-year news conference. let's talk about the facts now and what you've been able to dig up. what we're hearing from democrats, they will push hard and i saw the world "slow roll." the picks that the president-elect has made for some of his cabinet positions. tell me about that. >> well, i think -- it's not a very high bar they're setting, democrats are setting for themselves to slow-roll trump's nominees. you know, that's not -- that is
12:39 pm
a far cry from trying to replace any of these nominees. they're trying to defeat them. and by sort of slow-rolling this and trying to attack multiple nominees at a time, you know, that's about messaging and maybe that will help messaging with their base and democrats try to sort of pick up the pieces. it's not going to slow down or ultimately stop any of trump's nominees. i think there are some questions about some of trump's nominees but unless they're going to focus on someone specific, i don't think they're going to stop anyone. >> you know, as we look at how divided washington is and how divided our country has been since and before the election, curious from your reporting if you're seeing any sort of a bipartisan push now to come together. we've heard the gauntlet laid down by senator chuck schumer of new york who is now leading democrats in the senate. >> yeah, that was quite a broadside, wasn't it? that is chuck schumer's job
12:40 pm
right now. you know, day one, they're setting up their pieces on the chess board here and framing where they're going to be -- where each side will be coming from. you know, i haven't heard anyone talking about bipartisanship, including trump, right? >> he says he's going to try to bring the country together. he's reached out and his whole pick series of inviting democrats in. look at the people he's met with along the way and his transition here. i don't think it's fair to say he hasn't done that. >> he's been -- he's met with a couple democrats. i don't think -- he hasn't named any democrats to his cabinet. you know, i think -- i think we're going to move away from the sort of idea of bipartisanship and in the trump era it's going to be more of a transactionali transactionalism. he's willingness to invite in i'm enemies like paul ryan, mitt
12:41 pm
romney. these guys can help him in the moment. he's willing to put aside any past battles. you'll see that on the hill as well. particularly obama care will be one of the first issues that come it. it will be little bipartisan issue there. but when trump gets to his infrastructure plan, he will need democratic votes. democrats have signals that's something that they would support him on. it's more of a situational bipartisanship or transactionalism that we'll see in the trump era in washington. >> real quick. you know they're thinking of making some changes in the white house press corp. i have to ask you what you think about that. >> i think he's -- i think everyone that comes in makes certain changes. >> they do? like what? >> well, into their approach. is there something specific
12:42 pm
like -- >> they're moving the seats. we don't know yet. >> we don't know yet. that's right. i mean, you know, moving the seats -- i don't know what that means. i haven't seen anything specific out of that. i think some of the facts were wrong on like who started that and how long it's been in place. it's been in place a long time. there's a reason for it. you know, i -- i don't think anyone outside that room really cares about it. you know -- >> fair enough. >> you know, sometimes it's easier said than done, particularly when you have someone outside of politics like donald trump, i've seen it in state houses when governors come in. they think a lot of the stuff is easier than it appears. maybe we'll see. maybe we'll it will be for trump. >> i can tell you what happened today. some gop members thought that they could do away with the ethics, the office of congressional ethics and a tweet set that right in terms of the president-elect's eyes.
12:43 pm
so a lot can be done that you wouldn't expect. >> trump said that -- didn't say they shouldn't do it. he said they shouldn't do it first. >> michael, i like you. i'll see you soon, my friend. thank you. >> bye-bye. >> president obama set to deliver a farewell address to the nation reflecting back on the past eight years. what we've accomplished and what remains to be done. he's catching some criticism for it. but is it any different than what other presidents have done as they were exiting? we'll talk about it next. stay close.
12:46 pm
>> president obama is scheduled to deliver his farewell address to americans a week from today and he will do it in chicago, illinois at a 18,000 seat convention center. the president told supporters in an e-mail he just began writing his remarks. he wants to thank the american people for the chance to serve and offer some thoughts on where we all go from here.
12:47 pm
it's worth noting president clinton and george w. bush delivered similar addresses in their final days in office. let's bring back michael todd mack and brad blakeman. i think you've been eating popcorn and joining us. glad you came back. i want to start with you, brad. you have a bone to pick with the president. >> i do. i think that this president is -- like to settle scores. that's what he's been doing since donald trump won. delegitimizing his victory by saying he could have beat donald trump by acting against the russians when there wasn't a need to do it. there was a want to do it. guantanamo bay. seeking to empty that place before the president-elect assumes office. so i think he's going kicking and screaming. while other presidents have made farewell addresses closer to the inauguration, there was a reason for it. in the case of george w. bush, there was a financial crisis up until the time that the new president was sworn in.
12:48 pm
that delayed his final remarks. for bill clinton, we were on the heels of a supreme court decision and a recount, which made it not possible for him to give his remarks earlier. i happen to believe a farewell address should probably be done two weeks before an inaugural to give the new president the opportunity coming in to take the stage and to form his government. >> yeah, but the bigger issue of guantanamo bay, if we put all politics aside, that is an issue of national security. so if the worst of the worst are in gitmo right now and it's a sticking point for the president that he can't close it because that seems to be the case that these guys are the worst of the worst, why let them go? >> he shouldn't. let's remember closing guantanamo bay is a campaign promise. >> first 100 days. >> here we are still talking about it. i'd say that you should lighten up a little bit. he was a unique figure in american history, president
12:49 pm
obama, as evidenced by voters that supported him in 08 and 12 and turned around and voted for trump instead of his successor. it's been eight years of a fiscal crisis followed by a recovery that not everybody participated in. foreign wars, terrorist attacks. our role as a super power now slightly diminished by the resurgence of russia. let the guy have his say. doesn't matter when so long as it's before the inauguration. he's a compelling speaker. i'm looking forward to what he has to say. >> one of his white house advisors, valorie jarrett giving the litany of what he's faced. what about the veterans affairs administration mistreatment of all of our soldiers. brad, your thoughts? >> this president is going to try and set his legacy and rewrite history before 16000
