9:01 am
also, a democrat who is fighting to preserve it. ♪ >> and thank you for spending your saturday with us. i'm elizabeth prann in washington. >> and good afternoon to you, liz, to you at home i'm leland v vit vitert, and welcome to p america's news headquarters. we begin with a fox news alert. they're not ruling out terrorism at the shooting in florida. five people are dead, six wounded and an army veteran from iraq surrendered to police after the gunfire yesterday afternoon. we have team coverage from fort lauderdale today. steve harrigan standing by at broward health medical center where some are still recovering from their wounds. we start with doug mcelway at hollywood international airport that just reopened this morning.
9:02 am
hi, doug. >> hi, leland, the press conference just wrapped up a few minutes ago and attempted to pose more questions than it ever answered. there's a very good reason for that, this is an ongoing criminal investigation and the fbi just does not want to jeopardize leads that they're pursuing all over the country by divulging too much information. here is special agent involved. >> it's way too early for us to rule out anything and that's why we said earlier, we're looking at everything, including terrorism related. this is an ongoing active investigati investigation. >> that said, how was esteban santiago allowed to check this gun onto an airplane, given some of his background? he was involved in a domestic abuse charge. it is illegal in alaska if you're convicted by a judge or a jury of domestic violence. it's also illegal in alaska to own a gun if a judge or a jury
9:03 am
finds you guilty of having some sort of a mental defect or mental illness and we also know that last november esteban went to the fbi field office in alaska and told them, quote, that his mind was being controlled by a u.s. intelligence agency. they referred him, of course, to the local police department who then referred him to a hospital. he apparently spent two weeks in a mental institution. and why was santiago not on a no-fly list? i asked that question of governor rick scott earlier this morning. >> we're in the middle of trying to understand what happened. there will be more information that comes out. we'll know exactly what happened and then we'll be able to figure out what to do. you know, if it's tied to mental illness, and these are -- it's very hard to deal with some of these issues. >> but people are going to want to know whether santiago's family potentially dropped the ball failing to
9:04 am
alert authorities about some of his problems. whether the field office in anchorage may have dropped the ball and whether mental health providers may have dropped the ball, and whether tsa may have dropped the ball not extending the security perimeter in airports. as for fort lauderdale, they are slowly resuming to normal now. i am just adjacent to terminal two right now. all the other terminals opened up here at 5:00. terminal two opened up later today. it's eerily quiet in there despite the fact there are very large crowds in there. one of the problems with reestablishing normalcy is reuniting people with their baggage, it's a huge, huge problem. here is mark vail, the airport manager. >> one of the big issues coming up, we've received questions on, that is the issue of connecting the
9:05 am
passengers with some of the belongings that they left inside the terminal facilities when they evacuated. we're in the process of cataloging all of those items, protecting it, securing it so we can get it back to its rightful owner as soon as we possibly can. >> he said there's something like 20,000 items that need to be reconnected with their owners suitcases to cell phones, to purses, it's a monumental task. governor scott earlier today, they're doing everything they can to limit this inconvenience, but when you talk to passengers as i have this morning in some of the terminals over here, they're outraged and very upset. they feel deeply inconvenienced. back to you. >> deeply inconvenience, but probably happy to be alive. at least we hope they recognize that. doug mckelway in fort lauderdale. and steve pomrants who might have dropped the ball on this.
9:06 am
>> and steve has an update on some of the victims still in the hospital. hi, steve. >> elizabeth, six gunshot victims were brought here almost immediately after the shooting. the first ones arrived within 20 minutes. one bit of good fortune in this tragedy there's a level one trauma center near where the shooting took place and doctors prepare for events like this, like a mass shooting. >> it looks like chaos, but it's controlled. >> no one who arrived at the hospital expired. they're all in the hospital doing the best they can do right now, but everybody is stable. >> of those six gunshot victims here, three are right now in good condition in the intensive care unit. as many as 30 other injuries as well. most of those smaller injuries, like twisted ankles or heat exhaustion.
9:07 am
many of those occurred in the aftermath of the shooting when there was a panic, a false panic about a possible second shooter. of the dead family members on social media released the names of three of the five killed on friday. they appear to be retirees, travelling with family, many of them prepared to go on cruises, including terry andres, 62 years old. worked in norfolk ship yard both of his life. travelling with his wife of 40 years and shot multiple times in the baggage area and died on the scene. elizabeth, back to you. >> devastating. steve harrigan reporting live. thank you so much. leland. >> what might have been missed, how this could have been prevented. let's bring in steve palm palmerrantz. it's sad when we see you as well. >> thank you, leland, it's sad. your heart goes out to all the people who have been hurt. >> what seems so much more tragic about this event is it seems entirely preventible. this guy walked into a fbi
9:08 am
office and said, gee, the government is controlling my mind and telling me to watch isis videos. yet, somehow he's allowed to board a plane with a gun. how is there not a big breakdown here? >> leland, i'm going to take this and look at it from the other direction. anybody who has been in law enforcement, certainly myself included, for many years, will tell you that the number of people who show up daily at fbi field offices or police stations and claim and exhibit signs of mental disturbance, most often exactly like this guy, they walk in and tell you about people following them. people electronically monitoring them, literally, this happens every day, hundreds of times across the country. you have to separate that out from people who appear to be dangerous, who then make threats or -- because if we were to deny people access to either guns or airplanes, particularly airplanes, because they have some sort of a mental delusion or visited
9:09 am
a mental health practitioner, you're talking about millions of people. >> this is way different than visiting a mental health practitioner. this guy had what to be a psychiatric hold, in two weeks in the hospital for mental health issues. if you're in alaska and you have a domestic abuse conviction, you're not supposed to be able to own a gun and appears as though he had a concealed carry permit. >> yeah, there may be a breakdown in that, again, depending whether that was reported or not reported by the mental health facility. what they concluded. again, you can spend a long time in a mental health facility and not be seemed dangerous. you know, leland, at the end of the day, this is a very complex society with many, many vulnerabilities, sometimes these things culminate in an event like this and at the end of the day
9:10 am
you may find out that this is one of most risks that we just have to live with. >> some of the risks that we have to live with, versus living in a police state where you can't go anywhere without going through a metal detector. >> exactly. >> quickly before we end, the fbi in charge of investigation said we can't rule out terrorism yet we know that this guy watched isis videos. there's, of could,this debate, what is terror and what's not. how is the fbi making the decision and influenced by politics? only two weeks away from the inauguration. >> i don't think they're influenced by politics. what they do is exactly what they need to do. you rule nothing out, you rule nothing in. you allow the investigation to proceed. i'm sure there are agents across the country scouring this guy's history and talking to everybody they possibly can associated with him. only after you've done a very thorough, very complete investigation can you make these decisions. it's wrong to make that kind of a call 24 hours after the
9:11 am
event. let it play out and let them do their job. this is what they're very good at and at the end of the process, we will probably know. >> well, we do know he's in custody and we know he's been interviewed by the fbi, and we also know that the u.s. attorney is planning on filing charges later this afternoon so perhaps that will provide some insight. >> it will. >> always good to see you, thank you, sir. >> yes, sir. >> next time under better circumstances. >> i hope so. >> all right, now, to another tough story winter storms are blanketing states snow and ice and single digits in some. for states such as north carolina where snowplows are scarce, travelling is discouraged. >> stay home. >> do not go out, drive on the roads, unless you absolutely have to. >> georgia has also been facing snowfall and ice conditions, like north carolina, it's been about two years since that state has
9:12 am
faced a winter storm such as this. this storm could produce up to six inches of snow there. it's already making travelling very dangerous. the same storm system already brought three to four inches of snow across the texas panhandle. more than 60 weather related car wrecks have been reported in amarillo, although we know there have been no injuries thus far. >> and a fox news extreme weather alert from the white house. where it's snowing here as well. not quite enough yet for snow angels on the north lawn, but it could be here in a couple of hours. two weeks from the first full day in office here. president-elect trump explained his view of a future relationship. >> monitoring the snow as well, our own brian ennis, come snow, some sleet, it must get through. right, brian? >> that's right, leland. hello to you from a freezing
9:13 am
cold new york city in front of trump tower. let's talk about what everybody was talking about. a big meeting between mr. trump and the intelligence agencies, some two hours they spent in trump tower, they gave mr. trump that highly confidential report explaining and concluding that the russians did in fact interfere with this election, they did in fact want to smear hillary clinton to help president-elect trump to win the presidency and this was all ordered by russian president vladimir putin. now, this all came and mr. trump released the statement in which he has said that it was a constructive meeting and he said he had tremendous respect for the intelligence agencies and that in the first 90 days of his presidency he will enact major cyber attack reforms and make sure there's a plan in place to protect against such attacks, but if you were expecting him to come out and condemn vladimir putin, the russians and say his doubt and skepticism over the u.s. intelligence agencies in the last few weeks he said the
9:14 am
media and everybody else was hyper focused on russia and it was a political witch hunt, that did not happen. in a statement he did say, though, while russia, china, other countries and outside group and people are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure of our governmental institutions, businesses and organizations including the democratic national committee there was no outcome on the election including the fact there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines. there were attempts to hack the republican national committee, but the rnc had strong hacking defenses and the hackers were unsuccessful. now, on twitter last night, mr. trump appeared to cast blame on the democratic national committee for allowing the hacking to happen in the first place, tweeting quote, gross negligence by the democratic national committee allowed hacking take place the republican national committee had strong defense, but it's important to note here that the intelligence report also said the russians targeted and they did collect information
9:15 am
from both major political parties, but chose only to disparage or print out-- or i'm sorry, to actually disclose the information from the democratic side. now, intelligence agency says that russians intends to learn from this what they did in this presidential election, and to perhaps plan future attempts to influence the u.s. election and other elections with our u.s. allies. now, all of this comes as mr. trump is also expected to name former indiana republican senator dan coates as the nation's new director of national intelligence to replace james clapper. now, coates was 15 years in the senate, ambassador to germany and also was foreign champion for sanctions against russian when it comes to the ann annexation of crimea. and i'm assuming that mr. trump is decide to go stay
9:16 am
inside today? >> yes, we are not, but he is. you've got that right. >> dedicated reporter you are, brian, on fifth avenue there outside trump tower. it's not any warmer here in washington. thanks, brian. liz. >> well, a new congress gavelled in this week with obamacare in its cross-hairs. republicans moving quickly on the pledge to repeal the law. by the weekend members in both chambers are expressing concerns over the party's strategy. joining us now with more. what can you tell us? >> liz, it's a familiar story. republicans said time and again, they will repeal the affordable care act. the problem though has been they haven't been able to reach a consensus how to do it and now one week into this new congress, even with an incoming republican president and majorities in the house and senate, that doesn't appear to be changing. house speaker paul ryan stayed th this-- said this week that the repeal and replace will happen within the year, but there's a divide
9:17 am
within the party how to do that. some g.o.p. low lakers -- lawmakers want to repeal obamacare and some want to pass a budget that would enable republicans to roll back much of the law. others like rand paul argue to be a mistake to repeal before a replacement is ready. >> we could put a good budget forward and repeal obamacare and put forward a replacement the same day. can't guarantee, but i'm trying to tell my caucus, we need to have replacement the same day we have repeal of obamacare. >> there is concerns among some caucus, passing any government that raises government spending, oeven to repeal obamacare. and that's music to the ears of democrats who are fighting to save obama's signature health law and hammering republicans over the disjoint
9:18 am
the efforts. >> as i've said before repeal and replace has only alliteration going for if. it has no votes, no ideas, no proposal and so be interesting to see how they want to replace. >> this week, incoming vice-president mike pence told g.o.p. lawmakers on capitol hill the goal is to have a bill on president trump's desk, one month after the inauguration and although we expect to see a handful of proposals, it's a delicate issue republicans have to deal with and may take longer. >> i agree, very complicated and lengthy. thank you for breaking it down for us. coming up in a few minutes, point and counter point in the obamacare debate. we'll be joined by congressman mark walker to discuss the g.o.p. plan to repeal and replace and sitting down with democratic minority whip steny hoyer about the democratic attempts to keep it all in place.
9:19 am
stay tuned. >> interesting for sure. back to the top story after the break and now we await answers. we'll have the latest on the airport shooting and possible charges. and broadway remembers two shining talents brought together by their impeccable crafts and passing. and donald trump may have doubts, but the u.s. intelligence community is adamant about the russian influence in america. >> i don't think we've ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process.
9:20 am
what are you doing? getting your quarter back. fountains don't earn interest, david. you know i work at ally. i was being romantic. you know what i find romantic? a robust annual percentage yield that's what i find romantic. this is literally throwing your money away. i think it's over there. that way? yeah, a little further up. what year was that quarter? what year is that one? '98 that's the one. you got it! nothing stops us from doing right by our customers. ally. do it right. let's get out of that water. it's about moving forward not back. it's looking up not down. it's feeling up thinking up living up. it's being in motion... in body in spirit in the now. boost. it's not just nutrition.
9:21 am
it's intelligent nutrition. with 26 vitamins and minerals and 10 grams of protein. all in 3 delicious flavors. it's choosing to go in one direction... up. boost. be up for it. if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's, and your symptoms have left you with the same view, it may be time for a different perspective. if other treatments haven't worked well enough, ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works by focusing right in the gi-tract to help control damaging inflammation and is clinically proven to begin helping many patients achieve both symptom relief as well as remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. while not reported with entyvio, pml, a rare, serious brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections, or have flu-like symptoms, or sores.
9:22 am
9:23 am
icht. elizabeth: the tense battle of keeping or repealing obamacare is on the minds of lawmakers alike today. let's bring in north carolina representative mark walker, the chairman of the republican senate committee representing 160 members of the house and also has presented an alternative to the health care law. thank you so much for joining us, sir. i appreciate it. i want to get straight to our interview, if i may. here is a massive piece of bureaucracy a, and b, people are accustomed to it.
9:24 am
so, if you can, in simple terms tell us what you're presenting to not only lawmakers, but the american people today in repealing obamacare. >> sure, what we're trying to do is push back, elizabeth, on the false narrative that republicans haven't had a plan to both repeal and replace. the number one co-sponsored legislation, america's reform act in the congress. what we did was unveil that again. it's a great plan. it allows for preexisting conditions and extended coverage for veterans. so the narrative from our democrat friends that we've not had any kind of repeal or replacement plan is false. elizabeth: the affordable care act as you and i both know, is about 2500 pages long. your plan is 184 pages long. simply, are there going to be holes? we're talking about a giant piece of legislation, people at home are thinking, what's going to happen to me. am i going to have to
9:25 am
reenroll, a new website to go to? are they going to be able to get, like you said preexisting coverage and coverage that they already have in place? >> elizabeth, this is what i called wednesday at our press conference one round in a 15-round engagement. there are more modifications needed. this past summer there solutions provided for the better way. we're not yanking the rug out like we're hearing from our friends. and this is important and takes some time. >> you mentioned better way, a proposal house speaker paul ryan proposed, if i'm not mistaken. what is better about your plan and, forgive me for being repetitive, but the better way? >> sure. they're very similar. the big difference here is the better way offers tax credits and the american's health care reform act uses tax deductions. an individual would have $7500, a family up to 25,500
9:26 am
of deductions very similar, but what we're trying to do, make sure the very day the president comes over to the capitol, or when the first times he's been back since trying to sell his iranian debacle deal that we're pushing to the narrative republicans have sat on their hands and haven't done anything with repeal and replacement. elizabeth: one of the goals, you want to level the playing field. how do you do that for people who not only have insurance through an employer or looking for their own insurance, going on the website. along the same lines, you wanted people to shop across state lines, if i'm not mistaken. how does it not start to race to the bottom. we'll provide maybe not the best. >> do we want americans to make their own decisions regarding health care or want bureaucracies or bureaucrats in d.c. it includes the bill to be able to purchase insurance across state line.
9:27 am
this is dr. phil rose, piece of legislation from tennessee, a health care provider who employed hundreds of medical professionals and waited on thousands of patients. we have pharmacists, doctors, physicians who put this bill together, not just simple bureaucrats and that's why i think it's important to get this bill across to the american people. it's not at end-all, it needs modifications, but this is kind of a picture that we're batting leadoff for what we want to accomplish. elizabeth: let's talk reality. we don't have a t left. the american people know there are different factions within the house of representatives and people who have different beliefs how likely are we go to see consensus for what's best for the american people and that there's not going to be gridlock. >> when mike pence came over to the house on wednesday, he's asked us to be unified. i think with the new president-elect donald trump coming in, who have said this is a primary piece, a component of their complete
9:28 am
administration, something they want to tackle with urgency, we need to align that, we need to work together. i'm not a big proponent of the budget numbers coming back from the senate, but it's important that we fulfill our promise to the american people. we've got to earn the trust and credibility and that comes with full repeal of obamacare. elizabeth: thank you, i appreciate it. i know you drove under many so pretty treacherous conditions and we appreciate you joining us today. keep us posted. thank you. >> will do, elizabeth. thank you. elizabeth: of course for fair and balanced debate we'll be talking with minority whip steny hoyer coming up after the break. leland. leland: well, anguish and very few answers. ahead, we're going to take a look at what may have motivated the alleged mass shooter to go on his rampage in a florida airport and the senate gets its first face-to-face look at president-elect trump's cabinet picks. we're going to focus on what the secretary of state nominee might bring to the office. >> that's what we need, hard-nosed, clear-eyed
9:29 am
9:30 am
9:33 am
9:34 am
a democrat who looks at saving obama's legacy. >> you said you would lay down a marker and try to block the repeal of obamacare. that paul ryan and counterparts in the senate said they would have on president-elect trump's desk when he takes office. they passed it before and how will you stop it this time. >> they haven't passed it before, they passed it through the house of representatives before and i think, honestly, we will not be able to stop them from passing a bill which affects at least partial repeal of the affordable care act. however, the challenge the republicans have is, they're divided among themselves. rand paul has said specifically that it would be wrong and bad policy to repeal the afordable care act before they had a replacement to consider at the same time. they have no replacement. we've had essentially seven years since the adoption of the affordable care act.
9:35 am
the republicans have tried to repeal it 64 times. >> so are we looking at a replay of the scenario where we had in 2009 and 2010 where we get one party gets control and puts through a massive overhaul to health care without input from the other side? are democrats even willing to work with republicans to try to craft a replacement? >> let me say something, first of all, your premise is incorrect. the republican narrative is incorrect. we very much wanted to work with republicans on the health care. in fact, we waited eight months while senator baucus tried to work with senator grassley on a bipartisan agreement and senator grassley kept saying, well, he was looking at it, looking at it, looking at it and ultimately said no, i can't work on a bipartisan fashion. >> last thing i'm wondering is, i heard the democratic leader in the house say that this was the china shop rule. if you break it, you own it
9:36 am
and she said and republicans are going to break this and they're going to own it. could you understand how folks at home who don't really care who gets the credit or blame would be frustrated that the parties can't come together and work on something, but instead of talking about who gets the blame. >> you keep saying that because that's, in my opinion, that's the republican narrative that they didn't work with us on health care. the president of the united states wanted to, he came down here before he got here, said, they're not going to work on the stimulus, not going to work on health care, not one of them came to the table to work on it. every one of them voted against it. and they've tried to repeal it and now as i've said 64 times without an option. >> right. >> now, if you're going to work on something, you've got to have an option and say in effect, republicans say, now, this is what we think ought to be done. >> when that moment comes, you guys get ready to get in the zone and find a solution? >> we believe the affordable care act needs to be made better, needs to be made fixed
9:37 am
and that's our position. we think the affordable care act, however, has done exactly what it was set out to do. it's added millions and millions of people to having health care security, to having insurance, it's made sure that people with preexisting conditions could get insurance. it's made sure there weren't lifetime limits forcing people in bankruptcy, allowing 26-year-olds, 18 to 26-year-olds to stay on their family policy, make sure that seniors didn't have a donut hole. >> congressman. >> i'm about to run out of time, but ask you one thing before you leave us, which is this: on the issue of russian int interference in the 2016 election. you've been a longstanding advocate for more cyber security. advocate of getting tougher preventing these things. >> yes. >> why haven't we done it before? why are we only now as a country talking about this? >> well i think we've--
9:38 am
the maryland delegation has been talking about it for the last eight years and we have been talking about it for the last eight years. as you've said i've been a strong supporter of this and we now see an effort having been made all three of our intelligence agencies agree that the russians tried to affect the american elections and that's a crisis for our democracy, it's a bipartisan crisis, it shouldn't be a republican or democrat ic focus, it should be the focus of the congress of the united states and the administration to get at the bottom of this and see what the russians have done, know not only in our own country, but the allegations they've done it in britain and germany, in italy and other countries of the world. this is something that is critically important to the defense of our democracy and hopefully we'll move forward in a bipartisan, vigorous way, not only to make sure that our defenses to this kind of stealing of information and
9:39 am
then trying to affect the election, our democratic elections and confidence of our-- >> we have to leave it there. we're out of time and appreciate you joining us. have a great day. >> thanks to our chris stirewalt for the interview. you can get the latest on politics every day for signing up for chris stirewalt's newsletter. make sure to tune into fox tomorrow for the latest on the presidential transition. incoming press secretary spicer will be on media buzz 11 a.m. eastern time along with tucker carlson who will be taking over the 9 p.m. hour starting on monday. and on fox news sunday, chris wallace will be interviewing incoming white house chief of staff reince priebus, you don't want to miss that. after the break, the great divide between president-elect donald trump and the intelligence community as well as congress. the very latest on the russian hacking scandal and what light it sheds on american cyber
9:41 am
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. most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, dizziness loss of appetite, and bruising. (man) dad and i shared a lot of moments. now we're making the most of each one.
9:44 am
>> welcome back to the white house. the snowy white house. president-elect trump says once he's here, cyber security, after a 90-day study after the intelligence briefing of hacking on this election cycle. it's like a cold war spy novel. martin, nice to see you, sir. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. leland: we got this declassified report, in and of itself is rare for the intelligence community to put something like this out, but said essentially that vladimir putin wanted to influence the u.s. elections and ordered it and the cyber hacking done, was done with the message
9:45 am
consistent with the russian government and with the aims of helping donald trump in the election. what was missing from this report is what the intelligence community, of course, calls sources and metho methods. how do they know this and prove this? take us generally speaking through what the intelligence community has to this point where they say we're confident of this solution? >> it's probably a mix of things, really. probably one signals intelligence. the communications, electronic or otherwise, they might have gleaned from listening posts they have around the globe, including in russia. and also, human intelligence. basic old school espionage, hume-- person to person, i should say, talking. leland: and fair to say this also could have come from cyber hacking the other way, the nsa, the cia, the u.s. military cyber army, if you will, going in and looking at russian computer systems and saying, well, gee if they have the dnc e-mails on their commuters, they're probably
9:46 am
the ones who stole it? >> exactly, we're in a glass house and i think that's the exact language that james clapper had to say the other day. we're in a glass house and hacking, a lawmaker or a staffer, they will express no surprise that we might have been hacked, but we're also doing hacking as well. we might also be in networks that the russians frankly don't know that we're in and we don't want them to know that we're in. leland: one cyber security expert on the cyber warfare expert said we don't live in a glass house, but live in a crystal house and one must be careful when they throw stones from there. mr. trump says they'll do a 90-day cyber review and things will get better. is it possible for cyber security to get better in 90 days? >> possible, yes. probably not. the president-elect talked about doing review, ordering a review on day one. he talked about this know november message he sent out to his supporters. the 90 days, the time frame is
9:47 am
new to us who have been following this issue. i'm sure that he can probably do his best to do a top to bottom, soup to nuts review where the u.s. government stands in terms of cyber security, but just the sheer amount of work that the government puts on the internet, the sheer volume of e-mails and information shared on classified and unclassified networks, makes it a tall order in 90 days we're going to have a silver bullet or panacea to this. we learn it doesn't have to be on a government network. you can influence by hacking the dnc and influence in a lot of other ways. this tweet came out from there trump this morning, having a good relationship with russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. only, quote, stupid people or fools would think that it is bad. it would seem as though you have an idea of reaching some kind of datante.
9:48 am
and the same day i was told they made this at the white house, the chinese were back up to their old tricks. can you have a good deal with the russians when it comes to cyber security? >> i think, frankly, no. an a lot of people don't want a good deal when it comes to cyber security with moscow. and capitol hill, we got the public version. capitol hill are getting the other version and some are getting higher. they want to react. and that the obama administration has thrown pebbles against moss contemporaneous and he wants to start throwing rocks. you're going to have calls for more sanctions and actions on this. i don't think anybody wants to deal in terms of cyber security with moscow, not right now. leland: we'll see how that plays into mr. trump's tweets. foreign policy typically the purview of the man who lives
9:49 am
here at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. martin, great reporting. we'll have you as the 90 days tick on. >> thank you for having me. leland: liz. elizabeth: ahead, the first of trump's cabinet picks are set to appear in the senate next week ap the team says some dems are ready to slow down the confirmation process. we are going to break it down after the break. many people clean their dentures with toothpaste or plain water. and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day. youthat's why you drink ensure. sidelined. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals.

for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. i discovered a woman my family tree, named marianne gaspard. i became curious where in africa she was from. so i took the ancestry dna test to find out more about my african roots. ancestry really helped me fill in a lot of details.
9:53 am
>> well, time is moving quickly. the first round of senate confirmation hearings for president-elect trump's cabinet kicks off and tuesday. some democratic lawmakers say they don't necessarily have plans to block any nominees, but are prepared to slow the confirmation process down. here to weigh in, washington columnist, charlie. >> good to be here. elizabeth: when president obama took office in 2008, if i'm mott mistaken, seven of his picks were confirmed in the first day on after a week about a dozen were confirmed. we're not not going to see a sweeping confirmation process. you're probably right about that. republicans are smart. they're playing the strategy where they put all the hearings all at once, so that, you know, democrats have to focus on just like pick their shots and focus on one thing, instead of being able to sort
9:54 am
of draw it out and block a bunch of them. elizabeth: they could have up to 30 hours for each one. >> absolutely. if you think about it, the democrats have absolutely-- president obama has left them with absolutely no leverage or power whatsoever. they don't have a single button that they have control over in this entire town so they have no choice, but to sort of pick, sort of the fights that are symbolic fights. i think it's possible that they could wind up, you know, taking down some weak gazelle in the bunch. elizabeth: what weak gazelle do you see? right off the bat we see jeff sessions and obviously, betsy devos, john kelly, for homeland security and mike pompeo. at the end of the day, rex tillerson or secretary of state. those are heavy hitters. but you've heard reticence even among republicans about tillerson. if you find somebody like that that they could-- all you have to do is pick off a couple of republicans, but they have to win the argument
9:55 am
out in the public sphere and this is one of the things that i think it will be interesting to watch about all of this. donald trump has sort of rewritten the rules about politics, obviously. and so i do think that he's going to use these issues, he's not going to quit campaigning. he's going to continue campaigning to get his agenda through. and democrats are going to-- and democrats are in tough shape because in two years, we have ten senators from states trump won many by large margins to face reelection and you know trump is looking at every one of those senators and he is going to make sure that if they don't go along with his nominees, if they get into a fight with him, he's going to do everything he can to make them pay a price for it. elizabeth: we only have a minute left. when you talk about cherry picking. do you see anyone who is going to get the hardest resist sense. when you look at attorney general pick, jeff sessions, do you think they'll hit him the hardest? he's been on the other side of the aisle, obviously.
9:56 am
>> well, certainly the outside advocacy groups really want a scalp out of jeff sessions. he's an excellent pick and i think the democrats will put up a big fight about him, but i don't think they have the political will, i don't think they have the power to actually stop it. elizabeth: thank you so much. we are going to have you back, a big week ahead and more to cop. thank you. coming up, bringing jobs back to the u.s. is a top priority for the next president. how far will organized labor go to embrace the president-elect? we'll talk about it coming up.

10:02 am
the next couple of hours. and that would -- then on monday he'll likely be arraigned in fort lauderdale. >> some more background, he joy the puerto rican national guard, exserved a year in iraq. and he was a different man. sometimes he would seem normal and other times, he had lost his mind. he was discharged from the alaska army national guard where he has been leving. that was four months ago. he will be arraigned at the u.s. courthouse on monday at 1:00 yesterday terror panic and a stampede the passengers in the baggage claim here. it was just pandemonme you mean. people were crawling up the
10:03 am
conveyor belts into the airport property. the room from where the bags come just to hide from the bullets. it lasted about 80 seconds before he was confronted by the deputy he and he surrendered without any further bloodshed. he did not snap when he got to fort lauderdale but did what he planned to do in alaska. >> indications are that he came here, to carry out this the horrific attack. we have not identified any triggers that would have are caused this attack. it is very early in the investigation, and we're pursuing all angles, and, what prompted him to do it. >> thousands of passengers, stampeded through the yetays, and, many of them went a full half mile to the furthest point
10:04 am
of the airport. new details on the shooting, it was not 13 people shot by santiago but 11. pief dead and six wounded. 3 people were treated for injuries. broken bones, and all from the stampeding, in the initial moments of panic. investigators with the f.b.i. are now canvassing information. >> we have interviewed all of his family members that we have been able to identify so far. we will continue to do that. we have interviewed him the we're looking overall of his social media things like that, it's giving us a picture of the individual. but it's way too early to rule out anything, and that's why i said we're looking at everything including terrorism related.
10:05 am
>> reporter: the f.b.i. finished completing its crime scene and clean that up, over in the baggage area. 20,000 suitcase's the airport property have now, are being gathered from planed for all of those passengers who were intending to go on a cruise or further travel. multiple days to return their luggage and they may have driver's licenses, and passports that they still must retrieve. it's a travel nightmare that continues. >> just getting for so many families. phil keating want so many questions still about this story. how did this man get a gun? why was he allowed on an airplane to check it? a little later we'll try to answer some of those questions when we speak the commissioner
10:06 am
for an update on the situation as it is still developing in fort lauderdale. >> another top story, the 2016 is over with the results formally certified on friday. when it comes to the ennew wins campaign, they say it was conducted at the high he feel levels of russian government. it does remain a fresh story. caroline shively i don't understand us now. >> reporter: hi, the classified report lays out how putin ordered the attacks, that was to hurt the process and clinton and help trump. the unclassified version gives us the highlights of the report. until now most of what we heard about has been the cyber activity and it goes into
10:07 am
efforts into the long list of other ways, including russian government agencies, state funded media, and paid social media users. that refers to russian television, and, slammed clinton and wikileaks, and those "trolls." people post nasty rumors and lies. they didn't assess whether it affected the outcome. that's not their i don't know but it did not affect the vote counting. before the briefing, mr. trump told 'the new york times' that the controversy was a political witch-hunt. he acknowledged that they have attacked the u.s. having a good relationship with russia is a good thing not a bad thing. only fools would think it is bad. we have enough problems with yet another one. when i am president, russia will
10:08 am
respect us more exboth countries will work together to solve some of the many problems of the world. the report concludes it is not over. they will take what they learned, to influence efforts world-wide in the future. thank you so much. let's bring in the hill's national security reporter, who has been covering this story. you have a new story out today. i want to ask you, what is is the reaction to the reaction, donald trump, responded on friday, on twitter. what is the response coming from the i tell against community? >> well, donald trump is still refusing to really say yes, i trust the intelligence community. russia attempted to influence the campaign many and he didn't say it was wrong.
10:09 am
and he's not denying it. he's drilling down on one element, which says that voting machines weren't hacked. so what he is now doing is saying this means that hacking did not influence the election. but that's a narrow enter pretasting of what they are saying. >> i know you have a new report. i want to say, i want to ask you, is he tossing aside the recommendations of the intelligence community. they are not saying this is what was determined. i don't see him negating what they did. >> no, he's just sort of viewing this through a pharaoh context. i won this election fair and square. what some of my sources are telling me, he still only using intelligence when it suits him.
10:10 am
he's to the trusting what they are telling him. once he becomes president, if he gets briefed, and he doesn't like their answers does he then say i don't believe you. you trusted adviser, you go through all the intelligence of raw information, and, all the rest of the stuff, that hasn't been analyzed and you draw your own conclusion excess you tell me what's up. >> we did see a similar question poised to sean spicer ser want and he denied, anything, so there's their response. >> well i spoke to sean spicer ser about this, is there a ken far rio in which one of these officials, was to him was national security guard, would conduct this assessment. what he said, no that wouldn't
10:11 am
make any sense. it falls under the purview of the tom, who is his special assistant. so he didn't deny it. i asked him to clarify that. that to me suggests that the trump transition team still sees this as a cybersecurity issue. not a national security issue. russian hackers infiltrating the d.n.c. and not the voting machines. >> and not who they pull the leave very for. >> so according to your sources is most concerned about. >> the idea that this was a broader attempt to change the way americans think and that's very different from did somebody change the vote. >> i guess in a perfect world what message do they want to
10:12 am
see? >> they're probably looking for a really affirmative statement that i trust these guys. i believe what they said. the president-elect has seen more than you and i have. he has seen the official report. so there's a concern that even though he's being presented with the data, he's till going, this doesn't fit my narrative, and i would rather have some facts that fit my kern, it's his campaign. >> they can look at your piece on the hill. and we're digesting it right now. thank you. >> a record-breaking day are to the stock market may be quickly approaching. the dow near of a record high.
10:13 am
just shy of 20,000. the investors are calling the trump rally, and they are eagerly awaiting significant growth. the dow has now set 17 highs since the election. in his final weeks, president barak obama says if nothing else he has saved the economy and that, to his work. josh earnest gave credit to the president for adding jobs, and, lowering the unemploy ment rate. but, how will things change unpresident-elect trump? is it good for the average worker? talk about that, and united steelworkers president, leo gerrard from pittsburgh. nice to see you. >> go steelers.
10:14 am
as we're talking here, you get this sense that there's two different narratives. the white house says we saved the economy for folks who are blue color democrats and low income middle america, and it was union workers, in pennsylvania, and, eastern ohio and michigan that put him in the white house. is the white house right about this or was mr. trump right. i think they're both right about it. what happened is that over the last 30 years, industrial workers -- i don't call the rust belt. but, the fact of the matter is, they have had flat wage growth, and, loss of millions of jobs through bad trade deals and just before i came to the show, i remember pac 10 years looking at what china, mexico and south
10:15 am
korea have done. just on durable goods, it accumulated, 2.9 trillion. with mexico it's 615 billion. from we have heard all that -- >> we're heard these numbers. >> i'm making the point that these trade deficits have cost us industrial jobs can they forced wages to be flat, and a lot of workers, voted for change. they wroted for something new. >> mr. trump said he's going to deliver on that. bring jobs back. he took on carrier, and, ford, and, lockheed-martin and toyota will build a new plant in baja mexico. build u.s. or a new tax.
10:16 am
you're in favor of a big tariff tax. >> let me tell you what our union has done. to his credit, trump ran on the steel worker agenda. this is the stuff we've been saying for 30 years. if he wants to repeal exreplace nafta, we're going to help him. and china, and, carrier, if they make furnaces in indiana, and, move it to mexico then bring them back, you're darn right there should be a big duty. >> do you worry at all that the country, that he what put at big duty on are going to put a big duty on u.s. goods. >> no. mal larky. there's not going to be a trade war. we are in a trade war, almost 3 trillion. let me finish now.
10:17 am
we're in a trade war. >> we'll bring you back, we have to break exreturn to the top story. now being told that the governor of florida is speaking at the hospital where six people remain there at the hospital. >> talked to families that also provided outstanding things, and, they're being through the issues that they had jobs and who is going to take care of their loved ones that injury? i know there's a lot of work, people trying to take care of everyone. i directed the department of ohio safety, how de we get all these passengers, in a better position, how can we come up, because a lot of people are going on cruises to see if they
10:18 am
can get them i.d. and overstates, and, help people get passports. and it's hard to get on the cruise ship without any i.d. so, just trying to do everything we can. i talked to the red cross to see what they can do. >> a lot of people don't have their luggage and take awhile. most important thing is, what can i do to be helpful and talking to the sheriff and, the airports, and, i don't know of any -- talk about -- my name is mark, and i'm the c.e.o. here at the hospital. we thank the governor and all the state agencies for their support all the this difficult time. kevin and i are very proud of the performance of our staff.

[inaudible]

10:24 am
appreciative of the care. >> thanks everybody. >> thank you. >> you were just listening live to rick could the as well, as the c.e.o. of the hospital, three minutes from the airport where the shooting took place. what we heard not only from the c.e.o. but also from the governor, was a very personal story. there are still six shooting rick times in the hospital. three in the icu, three in good condition. we learned that one of those victims may be released today. we did hear from the governor who said that a lot these families, they care, but they're in p shock of the trauma, going on vacation or coming home, and undergoing what was a very traumatic incident.

10:30 am

10:36 am
10:37 am
among those, jeff sessions. he is the first of six nominees, and bringing in jim osmond to discuss this. good to see you the p you look good out there in the snow want. >> you look warm. as we get to this, it's pretty predictable. the democrats are going to grand sessions as a race set of, and, till rex tillerson is a putin fan, and, i think they'll get confirmed. but if you look at them, rex tillerson doesn't have a natural liberal constituency. p. >> hold on. no, for rex tillerson, his work
10:38 am
at exsons. they are to the happy about that. and can face some sort of wide-open position. and we have heard from lindsay graham and john mcclain. >> let's unpack this. if you look at labor, and, they have workers that may oppose them. i don't think rex tillerson has it, that will stop him. he has the baking of jim baker, and, rice, and, my point is that i think rex tillerson will have an easier go than the labor secretary pick or the education secretary pick or sessions because of the african-american opposition. >> there's these two jeff sessions that you have to square. he's a civil rights crusader.
10:39 am
but, you brought up the issue of andy andy puzpuz, but this is a man whose companies have had some labor disputes in the pass. is this a hill that they could decide to die on? does mr. trump make him the sacrificial nominee. >> the education unions, and the labor unions, that would oppose him. if you're the head of hardies, there are going to be complains, whether it is workplace conditions or other issues that the unions will oppose. he's a likely one, if you say of any of the eight, she's going to get the business if her hearing
10:40 am
because she doesn't have any ties to public education. and those unions are going to have a fit. talking about betsy devos, she is a charter cool advocate, and comes from a lot of money from the amway fortune. is it tough to find way to attack her? other than education, we don't like her policies. doesn't seem leak there's a lot of candles. but she has put a million or so dollars behind a campaign to roll back legislation on charter schools. the idea that she doesn't want oversight the education. exshe's going to take it apart. and that's what we expect for them to say take she is going to go in-take department to try to take it apart. >> what are your sources on the
10:41 am
hill saying? >> do they want to bloody them so he has to spend political capitol and they say, there's no goes. extrade on the other 6. >> my sources say listen, our big target is going to be the supreme court and the nol min nation from are trump for a supreme court nominee. that's where they're going to use a lot of their capital. i'm not hearing that they're going to go full bar on the nominees, but they will object enough, ex, denton are going to see take they're going to put their tbrag in the sand. >> the hell, they may put their flag on is the supreme court, we have been told to expect that name. bring you back to talk about that.
10:42 am
great seeing you will. >> take care. >> now, to our international headlines, thousands of civilians continue to leave mosul. iraqi forces continue to advance, and the last urban strong hole in iraq. kitty logan has the report. >> reporter: hi, well, this is a long drawn out and tough campaign but special forces say they are getting towards the center. they're closing in, and a bridge, and other troops advancing in parallel, the fighting is intense. but militants have been drirp out of several areas, after a meamg i don't remember overnight assault. they are using air from are the ground and air. it is occupied since the summer
10:43 am
of 2014. the militants have been putting up, a fight. it isness easy but, they are coming down. >> it slowed down as iraqi troops became involved in street-to-street. and now they have control over a quarter of the city, exbetter coordination is helping and they're backed by u.s. airstrikes. it's a new phase, they say there has been a lot more progress, and we're seeing some go home, and, many of them trying to leave. but despite these fights, it is
10:44 am
going to take forces a lot longer to push isis out. right. thank you so much. for a look inside the fight against isis don't miss war stories with ollie north, he reports live, 8 p.m. right here on the fox news channel. >> incredible television. in the meantime the feud between mexico's former president and trump going public as fox calls out trump's insistence that mexico will pay for the border wall. fox tweet and he we have edited this. trump, when will be you understand i'm to the playing that exmakety wall. be clear, the taxpayers will pay for it. this following reports that
10:45 am
trump's team is asking congress to fund the wall but make mexico reimburse the united states later on. that's a signature campaign issue. our pan fell is here to weigh in. >> kevin hear raden,. blake, nice to see you many. >> blake, democrats are to be loving this one many. >> this is really interesting. donald trump's cigna a sure campaign issue was to bill this wall exmexico is going to pay for it. and now we figure that they are not, and the american taxpayer is. 14 billion. republicans haven't been that excited she to increase domestic spending. i'm not sure how they deal with this. but it's a promise he has to find good on.
10:46 am
>> you got others, and you don't want to spend any more money and you have mr. trump, was asking people who is going to pay for the wall and the entire crowd shouts mexico? >> for the better part of the 20 years, democrats have been playing politics, rather than allowing republicans to secure the border. now we have a presidential candidate and every member of congress, saying they were going to cure the border. who pays for it, off the bat is far less relevant than the fact that we're going to take action to the border. it doesn't matter who pays for it. >> not initially and i think there are ways -- >> what ways? >> you can look at trade renegotiations and a number of different ways. we don't know yet but we're not
10:47 am
going to get hung up on that. it seems like the house exsenate and trump are not going to get hung up on that. >> does that become a weakness for republicans, and mr. trump if he doesn't pay for the wall p or democrats have their hands tied on that one, and past 20 years not doing much. >> that's the debate. if republicans are successful, if framing it, you can see voter sentiment rise for what's going to be a very expensive project. but that would allow him to stay on message. and it's difficult. >> hold on. the one thing he stayed on mess sam, until the days elect he. we're going to build a wall and mexico is paying for it. >> mexico is not paying for it.
10:48 am
>> hole on. he's not off that. they're not going to do what he says. but he says mexico will end up paying for it. >> we can debate the sem man particulars point. but, his promise was i'm going to build a wall and the american taxpayer is not going to pay for it. that's not true, democrats can talk about that and cast this issue in a different way. you have things that republicans have not wanted to commit resources for, if they're going to commit 14 billion to building the wall then it will come at the expense of other things. >> i got to cut you off. we're out of time. we'll bring you back. thanks. >> liz. >> after the break, the memory of a mother/daughter duo.
