tv The Kelly File FOX News January 6, 2017 6:00pm-7:01pm PST
6:00 pm
in for bill o'reilly tonight, who will be back on monday. please remember, the spin stops right here. as we are looking out for you. >> megyn: breaking tonight, we are waiting for an fbi news conference on the shooting that unfolded it and one u.s. this afternoon. travelers were confronted by a deranged gunman with military training. welcome to "the kelly file," everyone, i am megyn kelly. it lasted for hours today after a 26 year old suspect who we are not naming for our "the kelly file" policy started methodically shooting passengers in the baggage claim area of the airport. but despite the suspect being quickly arrested, millions of americans were watching in horror as my colleague shepard smith was interviewing one man on the scene and it reports of a second shooting started to break. >> i think once everyone
6:01 pm
realized what was happening, and for myself, had to wait and it was surreal. as i said i saw blood just fooling underneath people i realized that it was real and people were being shot. it was just oddly quiet after it happened. there wasn't screaming and i think when people started realizing, that was when people started sobbing and crying and it's an unbelievable feeling. the emotions, and everything. >> i don't know what is happening. john, anything where you can remember specifically about this suspect? >> john? >> up there have been reports
6:02 pm
that shots were fired in the garage, and they are walking us down again. they think somebody is in a garage right now. they just said a second shootin shooting. we are being told get everybody on the floor. get down. they told everybody to get down. oh. oh, god. everybody is laying down on the floor between the carousel. >> john, how are you and your wife? >> we are in shock still. this doesn't help. we thought the scene was secured. people were crying out. people are scared to death. >> wow. thankfully, that second incident was a false alarm. but with five killed and eight more wounded at an airport that sees upwards of 75,000 travelers a day, it took several hours before the tension calm down. phil keating has the story from some horrified witnesses
6:03 pm
tonight, before we asked congressman peter king about this story, he is the chairman of the house subcommittee and counterterror intelligence. but we begin tonight with trace gallagher who is alive with the breaking news. trace. >> megyn, earlier reports said the shooter flew from alaska to florida, stopped in minneapolis and then on to fort lauderdale. the suspect arrived for his flight for hours early and checked only the case that carried his handgun. authorities say it's common to check a weapons in alaska, considering it is a big hunting destination. county officials said when the gunmen arrived, he grabbed the gun case, loaded in the bathroom and began shooting. firing two more times, the stuffed duck finally gave up without police firing a shot. the sound of the gun shop, some
6:04 pm
passengers took cover. flood out of the airport and onto the tarmac. incoming flights were allowed to land but the airport soon shut down and 90 minutes after the shooting, just as the panic began to subside, there were two more reports of shots fired. both turned out to be false. but there was video of what appeared to be another man being arrested. here is police. >> to my knowledge, no one was taken into custody. people could've been secured ind can cost until we find out who they were, and how they were related or not related to this scenario. >> outgoing passengers remained in the airport, incoming were escorted away. we now know the alleged shooter was born in new jersey and grew up in puerto rico. he served with the puerto rican national guard and the alaskan national guard after returning from a tour in iraq, his brother says he was changed. law enforcement sources tell fox news that in november last
6:05 pm
year, the suspect visited the fbi office in anchorage mama telling field agents that u.s. intelligence had been infiltrated his mind and were forcing him to watch isis propaganda videos. the fbi concluded he had no connection to foreign terror organizations. investigators are now scouring the government's electronic devices and digital footprint for any trace of terrorist propaganda or communication and it remains unclear if the shooter is cooperating at this hour. megyn. >> megyn: trace, thank you. we check in with someone who's been on the scene all day, talking with witnesses and gathering the latest information for us. phil keating is live in fort lauderdale. >> after the initial two hours of terror and absolute pandemonium here at the airport, that is when authorities locked this airport down. nobody was allowed to come into the airport, nobody was allowed to leave.
6:06 pm
and then everybody was evacuated from terminal 1, everyone who would already been above where the baggage claim area is, where the terror went down. there was a six hour lockdown. nobody could go the bathroom. nobody could drink water and there were several planes out on the tarmac, including this united plane over here to the right. full of passengers coming into the airport. because after the initial shooting, in the baggage claim area, operations it started to pick back up and flights were coming in and out and then there was that second false scare attack when people thought they heard gunshots in the garage and in terminal one. the sheriff says those were not actual gunshots. according to witnesses, the gunmen, after he shot and emptied his gun the first time, reloaded and shot some more, he
6:07 pm
stopped and her than he approached by law enforcement. they ordered him to surrender. he did. he has been in custody ever since. the passengers are finally being allowed to leave the property and goal, we spoke with some who were here at the airport at the early stages here and they said it was sheer terror. >> we heard a pop, pop, pop. then a group of people came running around the corner and actually my daughter had her baby in a carrier thing. like a backpack and she got trampled. my husband helped her get up and just said run, run, run. there are 19 of us here, and we are all in three different areas. >> they were terrified, the families specifically. the ones that were here with the kids. the kids were definitely like, and their parents arms. >> i thought i saw people a lot of hyperventilating, they were
6:08 pm
so scared. >> it looked like there were people having an anxiety attack. >> >> between five remains completely close to operations and air traffic, fort lauderdale-hollywood international airport. everybody who is stranded here who was trying to get out of fort lauderdale and go home, they are now trying to make additional travel arrangements and trying to find hotels for tonight. megyn. >> megyn: phil, thank you. peter king. great to see you tonight. first of all, the suspect tonight is in custody. what do we know about how that procedure is going to go forwar forward? >> my understanding is, he's obviously entitled to a lawyer. i would hope the interrogation has started. megyn, i think the large issue here to me is that he did turn
6:09 pm
himself in. or he walked in, said he was hearing voices. >> megyn: in november 2016, he went into an fbi agent office and saying that he was being told to watch isis videos. >> we can't look upon this as crazy people acting this way. isis more than any other terrorist group has found a way to communicate with these people on the fringes of society. the person in new york who attacked two police officers with a hatchet. there are others like that. this is almost a part of the isis army. >> megyn: how so? like, how? >> they are skilled. use of the internet. their message, more so than al-qaeda. more than other terrorist groups are able to appeal to those people on the mental edge of society. a number of cases like that where it's not -- it may turn out that he is trained, committed, but just the fact that he is again, that
6:10 pm
psychiatric treatment that he was talking about. joining isis. this is not just some crazy person. this is a person who isis has been able to appeal to. >> megyn: i dunno. i think we are getting ahead of our skis on that. we have one random statement a guy made. who else he may have said. he developed mental issues according to his family when he came back from iraq. and hospitalized for a wild. and it so we see a developing problem culminating. nine times out of 10, these shooters, there is a distinction we have drawn in this country between these random shooters and terrorists. nine times out of 10, they are in their mid-20s, they tend to have mental health issues they tend to hear voices. this happens all the time. i'm trying to exonerate isis, no way. >> i don't know anything about this guy. i'm saying that isis, the
6:11 pm
communications it has, appeals to more young, unstable people. as a precaution. whenever a person is dealing with mental illness and any talk of isis at all, . >> megyn: what is the fbi's obligation in your view, who walks in, i don't know if they look at a man like that and say oh, it's a terrorist. i mean, do they have any obligations to seek to have him committed? to contact his family? to do anything like that? >> i think they should. you are talking about a person who is a prospect to carry out an act of violence. not because he's trained or exploiting terrorism. isis is isis putting these iden people's head. that to me should have been an indicator. >> megyn: it's not completely figured out. they have him. hopefully he is talking. but if there was somebody else
6:12 pm
working with him, if this wasn't a lone actor, they will be looking into that. is there any terrorism involved, are there? >> i can assure you, the fbi, they are scrubbing everything right now to find any possible terror contacts he might have. going through computers, iphones, everything else. the fact is that if there is anyone out there, believe me, the fbi is trying to get them. there is a terrorist link, assuming that from the start. and you work your way back. they're seeing if there is anyone else involved. >> megyn: goss, congressman peter king, good to see you, sir. within hours of this shooting, experts were warning about airports being riskier than eve ever. what's becoming a major security issue? let show you a list of
6:13 pm
security issues at airports. what this russian hack means for our next president. >> i know a lot about hacking. hacking is a very hard thing to prove. it could be somebody else. i also know things that other people don't know. so they cannot be sure of this situation. liberty mutual stood with me when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. liberty did what? yeah, with liberty mutual all i needed to do to get an estimate was snap a photo of the damage and voila! voila! (sigh) i wish my insurance company had that... wait! hold it... hold it boys... there's supposed to be three of you... where's your brother? where's your brother? hey, where's charlie? charlie?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you. liberty stands with you™
6:14 pm
6:16 pm
6:17 pm
whether airport security needs a complete and total overhaul. have anthony schaefer on that , when reviewed other incidents. >> is not the scale of the attack, where the size of the bomb commits the proximity to a group of people. this is a reminder that public areas, and airports, remain highly attractive targets. a government in los angeles in 2013 walked into terminal 3, pulled out a assault rifle and opened fire. last march inside the brussels airport, 16 people were killed when two suicide bombers struck 37 seconds apart. one blow up near an airline check-in counter. then in june, three terrorists
6:18 pm
armed with bombs and guns attacked the main airport in istanbul, turkey. killing 35, injuring 230. those attacks also happened in unsecured public areas. in recent months, u.s. home and secretary limited the number of airport entries and increased ts patrolling those entries. that's because of funding shortages, the policies have not been adopted. there's been talk of moving security checkpoints to the doorways of airport terminals, but critics call it a catch 22 remedy. saying it would only push crowds into the sidewalks, the streets, and the parking areas where they would still be targeted. the appears to be on an improving security and ticketing procedures. so large amounts of people are not grouped together. the idea behind the latest airport technology is to help reduce peoples standing around because a moving target is much
6:19 pm
more difficult to hit. megyn. >> megyn: trace, thanks. cai trained intel operative, tony, and brad thor. good to see you both. colonel tony shaffer, are there any masters of airport security that would have stopped this incident? it's tough. >> if they'd check it out in the baggage claim area, though security measures are tough to do. how we would be able to spot and prevent this, i mean, you have to understand as you were just talking about, there are crowds in a lot of places. airports, train stations, public facilities. i just had a wreck team walked through a a large landmark everyday. you have to examine every
6:20 pm
vector. this is has never been tried before but this is why you create red teams that actually go through and think, if i was a bad guy, how would i do this? i did that very thing and training. >> megyn: with all respect to that, this is a free and open society. even if you banned guns from going through the checked baggage, some come in off the sidewalk. tell me, we want to believe that there is some way of preventing in this society a madman from getting to us. with the truth is, it's not really possible. >> don't place negatives, it's never going to be a hundred percent safe. but would tony was talking about, that's a human factor. you're bringing human beings in to say, what would i do at wite bad guy? the israelis do this better than anybody else. i think it's great to push for
6:21 pm
more uniform officers. i've been in la guardia or o'hare and not seen one. we need to start being able to walk up, profile people, ask them questions. there need to be several times that passengers or people picking others up actually interface with security personnel. teresa said earlier, this guy checked and maybe you heard it wrong, the only thing this guy checked was his case with his gun in it. that should have set off a whole bunch of red flags. like i should've never been allowed to be on that alaskan airplane. i don't want to take his gun away if he's an average everyday citizen, but that's weird. all the way to florida with just a gun? >> megyn: here is the other question, tony, why does the guy have a gun in the first place if in november, he walked into an fbi office and said i'm hearing voices telling me to go watch isis videos. and he had been hospitalized five years earlier. for mental health issues.
6:22 pm
you've got the guy who has the mental health history, he goes into the fbi office, he travels with only the gun checked. i'm not saying you could've predicted that, but there were a couple red flags here. >> as you and peter king were talking about, this guy was on the radar. he was susceptible to suggestion. i think he followed through with that. this kid took it on and did it. your point is well taken. this guy had multiple intakes from mental issues and plus, he was a military reserve. i'm not sure what service. >> megyn: national guard. >> they should've been tracking this kid and if there were issues, clearly there is a pattern. there should've been something and as brad said, the kid is traveling with a weapon. we should have linked that together. i am not for big brother. but there is an issue here, when you do have multiple events, not just one, multiple, and the kid is traveling.
6:23 pm
an unusual pattern with just a weapon. those two things should come together. as brad said too. engage it. just talk to them. nine times out of 10, there will be some sort of alerting behavior because something is not right here. >> megyn: it cost money to have all these people like they have in israel. >> i am brokenhearted because i know this going to lead back to the va, probably in alaska and the people are going to say they didn't give him the care. it's going to be a tough thing for them. but this is a 26 year old, primed for a psychotic break. here's the thing. i agree with you. isis may not have directed him to do this. but guess what? isis just saw something that works. so it is going to be open season on travelers and i hate that because this now shows this kind of thing works and if we don't get are asked to get a quick, we are going to see it happen again and again and again. >> megyn: there's always the danger of copycats with something like this happens, what do we do? you've got to go through the system as it is currently
6:24 pm
established. you have to stand in the line, to get your bag, for security, he got a family of five. you are not able to carry all your luggage. >> i'm sorry, go ahead brad. >> you travel at the most off peak hours that you can. you show up with your own boarding pass already printed out, and you do carry on. you move through that unsecured area as fast you can, and you only travel that way if you have to. >> they actually have a channel of stabilized -- it's an area. your best offender is it yourself. do what you can, looking around, your instincts, if you have that little spine intuition at the back of your hair. >> megyn: these are gun free zones, you are there to defend yourself but nobody had a weapon there. they are considering changing that in a bill that is under
6:25 pm
consideration in florida legislator. according to the eyewitness, there were elderly, these weren't people that were in a position to defend themselves. >> i'm a formal federal officer, we should all be armed all the time. because that stuff is capable. >> megyn: thanks, guys. any moment now we expect to hear from the officials down there on what their investigation has produced thus far, when it begins, we will bring it to you. plus, after weeks of speculation, we now have the intelligence community report on what the russians did and it did not do in the run up to our presidential election. mo elleithee is up next on that. sugar and a1c goals by activating what's within me with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin.
6:26 pm

it's intelligent nutrition made with only 9 ingredients, plus 25 vitamins and minerals and 10 grams of protein. and look where life can take you! boost®. be up for it.™ ththen out of nowhere...crying. third time that day. i wasn't even sad. first the stroke, now this. so we asked my doctor. he told us about pseudobulbar affect, or pba. it's frequent, uncontrollable crying or laughing that doesn't match how you feel. it can happen with certain neurologic conditions like stroke, dementia, or ms. he prescribed nuedexta, the only fda-approved treatment for pba. tell your doctor about medicines you take. some can't be taken with nuedexta. nuedexta is not for people with certain heart conditions. serious side effects may occur. life-threatening allergic reactions to quinidine can happen. tell your doctor right away if you have bleeding or bruising. stop nuedexta if muscle twitching, confusion, fever, or shivering occurs with antidepressants. side effects may include diarrhea, dizziness, cough,
6:29 pm
vomiting, weakness, or ankle swelling. nuedexta made a difference by reducing my pba episodes. ask about nuedexta and go to nuedexta.com >> megyn: breaking tonight, we are waiting for an fbi news conference in fort lauderdale international, after a gunman killed and injured eight others this afternoon. we will continue watching it and we will get it to the moment it starts. we're also tracking new reaction from president obama and president-elect donald trump after they received separate highly classified briefings on the u.s. intelligent report concluding that russian president vladimir putin ordered his spy agency to interfere in the american 2016 election with the goal of helping mr. trump.
6:30 pm
here is mr. obama taking a hard line against his successor today. >> i think that what is true is the russians continued to metal -- after my yourself that we are on the same team. vladimir putin is not on our team. >> megyn: chief intelligence catherine herridge is here with us on that. >> this report is very strongly worded. many of them are at they have very high confidence level. that means it's in, or a. multiple sources back up the finding. but it does not guarantee the information as fact. the report says the russian president vladimir putin ordered this in 2016. the russian government and putin developed a clear preference for donald trump. it does not save putin ordered day-to-day leaks.
6:31 pm
what julian assange told fox news earlier this week, putin was not his source. the report says otherwise. it reports that the russian intelligence service provided the records and wikileaks was a track record of evidence. even the russian sada certain pt -- the russian influence campaign began to focus more on undermining hillary clinton's presidency. it will get worse next time, megyn. >> megyn: catherine herridge, thank you. associated press said donald trump "learned a lot" in the briefing. moments ago on this channel, kellyanne conway suggested that
6:32 pm
the intel community has become politicized. former michigan congressman served as house intel committee chairman and is a formal advisor to the trump transition team. good to see you, congressman. this makes it pretty clear. let me ask you whether you accept the conclusion of the 17 agencies. and that it came at the direction of vladimir putin. >> let me make three points, megyn. it wasn't all 17 agencies. that's one of the things that hits you very, very quickly. it was only three of the agencies. dhs did not -- does not have its name on the report. the defense intelligence agency does not have its name on this report. it's only three agencies. this is a structural problem and how the intelligence community does its analysis. i found it interesting that tony shaffer was talking about red team. i think an intelligence analysis, is to always have a red team that provides a dissenting point of view. that is missing in this report
6:33 pm
and thirdly, if the report is five pages, about one page of that five pages talks about propaganda and it is based heavily on the reporting of rt television. that stands for russian television, so it's hard to not understand that is propaganda. if you've ever watched the programming, it's pretty much a joke. if the efforts to influence our campaign, that's what the intelligence community is the best that russia can do, in terms of propaganda, they've got a lot of improvement to do. >> megyn: just to put a fine point on it, you don't believe them? >> no, i said -- goat >> megyn: everything you're saying is undermining the credibility of the reports.
6:34 pm
>> it is not compelling to me. that as firmly as with this report points out that says yes, there are certain parts of this that are true. but i think there is enough caveats here that you don't walk away and say wow it, they nailed this and they hit it out of the park. >> megyn: catherine herridge says they are a+ intelligence. but why? why are they so confident? >> they claim it's a+ intelligence in thven't seen tha that says they really have or they really haven't. they claim that. >> megyn: got it. pete hoekstra, thank you, sir. mo elleithee, founding executive director. longest title ever. he's from georgetown. super smart. why, just as a politics matter,
6:35 pm
why was he so -- if this has been a democratic president and that something like this -- do think former congressman pete hoekstra would have gone on about why the need to doubt it? explain what just happened there. >> after the iraq fiasco, they added this level of high confidence, middle confidence, low level. in all presidential, intelligence analysis, if there dissenting views and the intelligence community, that was in the classified report. if there is no dissent in the report, it's because no one dissented. so they should have included all of that information. but i think the point that the people should be making which is absolutely true is the issue here is not whether russia tried to influence our election, there are reports of they've been trying to do it since they were in the soviet union. >> megyn: are you really
6:36 pm
shocked by that? >> the question is not that they tried, the question is, did they succeed? and the answer is absolutely no not. russia did not set up a private server in hillary clinton's basement and put classified information on it. >> megyn: she said the best stuff but they exposed it. bad stuff. you think donald trump did nothing at all? there is nothing to find there? >> what i'm saying is i don't think this was the tipping point in the election in any way, shape, or form. most of these stories that hurt hillary clinton were broken by "the new york times." >> megyn: the podesta stuff. doesn't this seem, this intel committee report, conclude that russia did fail? they tried and even they apparently realized oh, we didn't make it. >> i think there are two different issues here.
6:37 pm
did they tamper with the actual election? >> megyn: no. >> nobody says they did. election machines, they didn't mess with election day. but did they influence the election itself? i'm not a democrat the beliefs what russia did is why hillary clinton lost. there are a lot of reasons why she lost. but this is one of them. the dnc hack had nothing to do with hillary clinton's private server. the podesta hack had nothing to do with hillary clinton's private server. they went in, they link to this information. >> megyn: the weeks before the election, mo, she is looking pretty good up until -- she went up and she went down. but the jim comey letter came out, with anthony weiner. her numbers started tanking, the democrats freaked out and then she lost. >> that wasn't resta.
6:38 pm
russia. there were a group of emails hacked and leaked by wikileaks. >> megyn: so you are just saying she should be a better person? >> here's my question. did they not donald trump every single day attack hillary clinton based on emails that were obtained from this russian hack it? yes. if it wasn't influential, and e wouldn't have wanted. >> that was a minor part. by those emails came out, her reputation is corrupt at arctic amount. this wasn't fake news. this was real news. this was real news that the american people wanted to seize. >> megyn: it's disturbing to have russia messing with our
6:39 pm
election. >> the president-elect isn't showing that same level of frustration. >> megyn: he is trying to get along with vladimir putin. >> on the hill, they are showing the same level of frustration over this. we know this had nothing to do with the outcome of the election, this is not about discrediting donald trump, this is finding out what russian did and every republican will be on board with that. but that's not what the russians are saying. they're trying to use this to discredit donald trump. >> megyn: well when they have accepted that he is the president, we will discuss that. great to see you both. well, our producer at the fort lauderdale international airport said the conference may start at any moment. they were a little late. they were going to have this well within the last hour. so far, nothing. plus, vice president biden had to shout down members of his own party when they objected to
6:40 pm
donald trump's win. it's happening, people. chris stirewalt is here on why that happened, next. >> i need er these? now, get 15% off making your company stand out. staples. make more happen. they all...want...to... how charge me.xes going? have you tried credit karma? does credit karma do taxes now? yeah, and they're totally free, so they'll never take any of your refund. file your taxes for free with credit karma tax. imy moderate to severeng crohn's disease. i didn't think there was anything else to talk about. but then i realized there was. so, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. he said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira
6:41 pm
saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.
6:42 pm
6:43 pm
>> megyn: breaking tonight, our producer at the fort lauderdale-hollywood international airport is now getting new details on exactly when this conference is set to start. obviously, they were working hard in gathering information. we are keeping our eye on it for you. in the meantime, a battle is brewing on capitol hill after republicans announced they will try to remove all federal funding for planned parenthood. the move comes as part of the process that they are using to repeal part of obamacare. >> planned parenthood legislation would be a reconciliation bill. >> megyn: but already come up democrats, planned parenthood, and allies are signaling a figh fight. >> what speaker ryan is trying to do here and what vice president incoming vice president mike pence is trying to do is end and accesso everything that would prevent
6:44 pm
unintended pregnancy and that country. and that's a real irony here. >> megyn: joining me now is dana loesch, great to see you. let me start with you, they get some funds, they say it doesn't go for abortion services, the critics say monday is fundable. that's where the objection lies. to deprive them of how much money, money for anything and everything, and could you know longer even get contraception there with the help of federal money? >> here's what would happen. when they banned the funds, but they are sort of siding, it would stop medicaid from being allowed to pay pin, eggplant pld parenthood. for vasectomies, sti testing, and that is the side of planned
6:45 pm
parenthood that is funded. planned parenthood is not allowed to use federal funding to do abortions, there are a couple of states where states are allowed, 15 states. but there is not a nationwide thing where federal dollars are going to pay for abortions. that is actually illegal. >> megyn: but that money is fundable, it's what people don't like about their tax dollars going to planned parenthood. >> the bill, medicaid, it goes for that particular expenditure. once you closed on these clinics in a place like texas for example. if you would defund planned parenthood, 27% of women in texas will be without the health services they need to survive. that's a problem here. if you are against abortion, that's one thing. but if you threaten a woman's health -- >> there is a little wiggle room there. i'm glad that richard did
6:46 pm
mention texas, some of the these states because planned parenthood actually was by the department of justice because they had overbilled texas medicaid. it was around $4 million. here's the thing. planned parenthood is a for-profit business, megyn. the last revenue count was about hundred $7 million. was forced to admit before congress that in fact, planned parenthood makes a lot of money off of abortion. end abortion accounts for 85% of their nongovernment revenue.why in the world -- wait, richard. why are american taxpayers being forced to fund a for-profit business that gives 99% to democrats? here's the last point on this, i thought with the passage of obamacare that we were all going to have health care. and to that birth control was going to be thrown out like mardi gras beads. so what happened with that? >> i can explain both. under the affordable care act, must be very clear, health insurance is in health care.

you stop to find a provider. and a lot of places, planned parenthood, is the only provider these women's have. >> megyn: do you think when president trump is in office will ask act and accept this kind of rollback? when he was having trouble with the women during the election, he came out and said planned parenthood does a lot of good things. and the republicans were like, what? and then he's like, but i hate them. but they do a lot of good things. but they are terrible. i don't barely know to be perfectly honest where he stands on it. do you think he will sign a bill for these changes? >> i remember being on your show and talking about the actual sound bite. he had said that he wants to make the hyde amendment, he wants to make haida permanent. which i think would be great to do. community health centers outnumber planned parenthood 3- 3-1. >> it's not about wait, wait,

>> from the world headquarters of fox news, it's "the kelly file." with megyn kelly. >> megyn: well, they had to do it. they could not resist. in a joint session of congress today, confirming the electoral vote, some democrats cannot stand the idea of a president trump and mounted a last ditch effort to derail the official count. ironically, it was president joe biden who is himself a democrat who saved the day. >> donald trump of new york has received for president of the united states 304 votes, hillary clinton received 227 votes. >> mr. president, the objection assigned by the member of the house but not the member of the senate. >> it is over. [laughter]
6:53 pm
>> the purpose of this joint session, having been concluded, the chair declares the joint session dissolved. [cheering and applauding] >> megyn: [laughs] fox news political editor chris stirewalt is here on what he calls is fitting end to the 2016 election cycle. >> god save the queen, maybe he is a smith fan. maybe chaos is the right way to end the most chaotic election that we remember. maybe it's possible that we can handle some chaos. maybe america is still fresh, strong, able enough to deal with some chaotic moments. donald trump change the way the people did politics.

our job seven may be too easy since about 1992, every election has been the same bunch of canned corporate baloney from both sides. it was all the same jazz. donald trump brought chaos and now other people, like those democrats use on the house today, those democrats and others are going to try chaos of their own. things are going to get weird for a period time in america. >> megyn: do think we can handle weirdness? i think that you've proved that single-handedly here comely night after night, for three years. how long do you think donald trump can keep that up though? do think it he will be a chaos president in the way we think? >> we have a tendency to misremember our own history. or let's say, the end of the cold war.
6:55 pm
this has been a violent, chaotic, weird, crazy country and a lot of different ways. we've had riots, we had all these things that america has endured. i think what you saw from joe biden today with a good example for the country. people, whatever happens, this is going to be okay. our institutions, our systems can handle it. but the question for us as journalists, as citizens, and also for the people who go through the process is can you raise your game to the next level to deal in entropy and can you handle it? i think we can. >> megyn: the normally verbose joe biden with the line of the season, it's over. you can take the l out of lover, because it is over. unfortunately, chris stirewalt, it's over for us too. and can i say, it's been a pleasure. we will be right back.

my friends think doing this at my age is scary. i say not if you protect yourself. what is scary? pneumococcal pneumonia. it's a serious disease. my doctor said the risk is greater now that i'm over 50! yeah...ya-ha... just one dose of the prevnar 13® vaccine can help protect you from pneumococcal pneumonia- an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. prevnar 13® is approved for adults 18 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients.
6:59 pm
if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, less appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash. get this one done! ask about prevnar 13® at your next visit to your doctor's office or pharmacy. >> megyn: a final word before we go. night after night, you have welcomed us into your homes. for some of the biggest moments in recent history. we have tried to live up to the honor of being there. i am sincerely grateful for your trust, your patience, and your good humor over the years. which is one of the reasons why saying good-bye is so hard. but the truth is, i am lucky to have been doing a job whose ending is bittersweet. and i leave you knowing i am better for having been here.
7:00 pm
i hope you feel the same. thank you, for everything. i will see you again, soon. >> sean: we want all wish megyn kelly are best and we will miss her here at fox. but this is a alert right now, fbi conference. we go there right now to fort lauderdale. >> we have been working most of the day to make sure everybody was obviously safe and secure. once we received that word from our law enforcement partners, we've been in the process of either transporting those individuals, over to port everglades. what we anticipate will be somewhere in the neighborhood of about 10,0
