. wow, look at all these new students! way to grow, rodney! know where you stand instantly. visit quickbooks.com. eric: the airport in fort lauderdale now back up and running saturday afternoon, one day after that horrible massacre. the gunman opening fire inside the baggage claim area, killing five people and wounding six others. this is a brand new hour of "america's election headquarters," i'm eric shawn. arthel: and i'm arthel neville. estesteban santiago, according o his family, had been receiving treatment for mental illness at his home in alaska. investigat the 26-year-old acted alone, but they're not ruling out any possible motivations. >> indications are that he came

here to carry out this horrific attack. we have not identified any triggers that would have caused this attack. but, again, it's very early in the investigation, and we're arthel: phil keating is reporting live from fort lauderdale with the latest. if phil? >> reporter: new reports this afternoon quoting senior federal officials suggests that santiago, number one, had been planning this attack at the fort lauderdale/hollywood airport for quite some time, and no connection has been made, no nexus between santiago and any known terrorist organization. the shooting suspect remains in u.s. marshals' custody here in broward county. he will be arraigned at the federal courthouse in downtown fort lauderdale monday. and today from the u.s. attorney of south florida, possibly they could release the exact charges he will be facing. now, the fbi in anchorage, alaska, just briefed reporters

30 minutes ago explaining its dealings with santiago two months ago. they say that's when he voluntarily walked into the fbi field office in anchorage claiming u.s. intelligence was using mind control to control his brain and thoughts, even making him watch isis propaganda videos. alaska fbi found him to be agitated, incoherent but found no ties to terrorism, and while clearly needing psychological help, he broke no laws so was not placed on a no-fly list. the fbi here in miami/fort lauderdale believes santiago executed a very deadly plan that he hatched in alaska but delivered yesterday here in florida. >> at this point, it appears that the shooter was acting alone. but, again, as i mentioned, it's very early in the investigation. we're still going over significant amount of investigative leads that we've collected not only here in south

florida, our anchorage office is actively involved and supporting this investigation. so we're trying to determine whether he truly was acting alone or not. >> reporter: why this airport, why terminal two baggage claim? those are one of many questions that remain unresolved at this point. and the fbi has been interviewing family members, all of whom are said to be cooperating fully with the investigation in multiple states. as for the airport, it is up and running. it reopened at five a.m. this morning, about half the flights yesterday in and out were canceled. today it's about 85% of normal operations, but you're seeing a lot of traffic here. and terminal two where it all went down in baggage claim yesterday, it was closed this morning, however, delta is now resuming departures out of terminal two. what remains to be finalized are the 20,000 pieces of luggage

that had been abandoned and strewn about the airport or suddenly the shooting happened behind. those 20,000 pieces still need to be returned to the rightful owners, and a lot of those rightful owners were going to go on cruises, and they need identification which might be in those suitcases. so they've got vans downstairs ids. back to you in new york. arthel: still so many questions to be answered and so much work to be done. phil keating, thank you very much. eric? eric: so was santiago allegedly motivated by mental illness, perhaps ptsd, or radical islamic terrorism or a mixture of both? in about ten minutes, we'll get insight from a former washington, d.c. homicide detective. he will analyze what we know about this so far. arthel: and meanwhile, an extensive intelligence report laying out the lengths that russia went to in an attempt the

sway our presidential election. u.s. intelligence agencies releasing the report yesterday. officials finding the cyber attacks by russia went far beyond any previous election-related espy i can't imagine. the -- espionage. the report reaching a troubling conclusion, russia isn't done. caroline shively is live from washington with an update now. caroline? >> reporter: hi there, arthel. the report says that russia will take what they learned in this campaign and try again against u.s. allies. it concludes that russian president vladimir putin ordered the attack himself, and the goal of it eventually became to help donald trump win the white house. but the report details that at first the chem lin's mission was to -- kremlin's mission was to hurt the democratic process, to hurt hillary clinton and undermine her presidency. because like u.s. poller ises, the russians really thought she'd win. the attacks on the democratic national committee began as early as the summer of 2015 and lasted almost a year. it also finds that russia collected information on some republican targets but did not

conduct a comparable disclosure campaign. the intelligence committee didn't assess whether the hacking operation affected the election's outcome, but they do say the hacking did not affect vote counting. the report also details the list of ways the kremlin tried to influence our election outside of hacking including using third party intermediaries and trolls to post ugly lies and rumors on social media. >> this is not a threat or warning issue. this is a policy issue. the white house and those in charge have ignored this. let's remember that jim clapper knew all this information before january. they just didn't act on it. this russian threat has been going on for decades, we just didn't act on it. >> reporter: bigger picture, the report also concludes this is part of russia's plan to assert its influence on the u.s. stage and hamstring u.s. efforts to do the same. arthel: thanks, caroline. eric? v trump is responding to that intelligence report that pins the blame directly for that

operation on vladimir putin. you know, he was briefed on those findings yesterday at trump tower. as a result, mr. trump says he will appoint a special team now to come up with a plan to try and combat cyber attacks against our country. brian ennis is live from trump tower here in new york city9 with more on that. hi, brian. >> reporter: hi, eric. well, after weeks of president-elect donald trump doubting and voicing his skepticism of the intelligence agencies' conclusion that the russians did interfere in this election to help him win, he did sit with them for about two hours here at trump tower yesterday in which they presented their findings saying exactly that. and since then, the president-elect's message has concentrated less on russian president vladimir putin and the russians and more on the fact that the report said that they did not meddle with the voting tally or the ultimate voting count. and he's also concentrating on the fact that the country overall needs better cybersecurity. and trump tweeting, quote: intelligence stated very strongly there was absolutely no

ed that hacking -- evidence that hacking affected the election results, voting machines not touched. and he also blamed the dnc for the hacking stating, quote: gross negligence by the democratic national committee allowed hacking to take place. the republican national committee has strong defense. as caroline shyly was saying, this intelligence report does not make an assessment as to whether or not this, the russian hacking had any effect on the outcome of this election, but "the wall street journal" did report last month that the rnc was not hacked because of security defense. but this intelligence report also notes that both republicans and democrats were targeted alike, but that the russians chose to disclose democrat information in an effort to hurt secretary hillary clinton. and in tweets this morning president-elect donald trump suggesting that he's not looking for a contentious relationship with president vladimir putin or the russians. tweeting, quote: having a good relationship with russia is a good thing, not a bad thing.

only stupid people or fools would think that is bad. we have enough problems around the world without yet another one. when i am president, russia will respect us far more than they do now. both countries will perhaps work together to solve some of the many great and pressing problems and issues of the world. president-elect donald trump also saying within the first 90 days of his presidency he is expecting a plan to be laid out, and he will lay out that plan as to how he plans to enhance sign. eric? eric: all right, brian. from anñ?ñ? snowy fifth avenue s afternoon. by the way, in the next hour here on the fox news channel we're going to have an interview with senator dan sullivan of alaska. he's a member of the senate armed services committee. they held hearings about this this past week, and next week there are proposed senate here the fox news channel next week, i'm sure you've heard about some of the changes starting monday, tucker, tucker will be on monday nights in that

9 p.m. slot. the name of the program, "tucker carlson tonight." well, tonight's going to be monday night. famous to o'reilly factor, so it's a very exciting week with tucker at nine, martha maccallum earlier at seven with big bill as usual, 8 p.m. eastern. good luck to tucker with the beginning of his new program. arthel: good luck, tucker. we'll be checking it out. good luck, martha, too. and, bill, well, he doesn't need luck, he's got it handled. [laughter] meanwhile, a massive winter storm pounding nearly the entire eastern seaboard. some cities in north carolina seeing as much as 10 inches of snow. yeah, 10 inches of snow, that's what i said, in north carolina, leaving tens of thousands without power. it's affecting air travel nationwide with many flights being canceled. ice and sleet also making for dangerous driving conditions, and this hard freeze just may stick around for a while.

will carr or is here with more, he's here now with more. oh, yeah, so you're in l.a. [laughter] no bad weather for you. >> reporter: the sun has come out, but we are seeing some rain here on the west coast this weekend. but you guys, obviously, are feeling the brunt of that storm that's sweeping its way up the east coast. if you take a look at the map right now, bad weather on both coasts. and you just saw brian's report. his producer, patrick manning, was nice enough to pass along a couple pictures infront of trump tower there. new york expecting between 3-5 inches of snow when it's all said and end done. 50 million people under a winter advisory on the east coast this weekend. snow and ice have already crippled the south leaving four dead, thousands without power, and the winds have been picking up throughout the course of the day which can knock the snow and ice down off onto the power lines which certainly doesn't help. the weather's created travel nightmares. flights have been canceled or delayed, and the traffic has

been snarled in several states including connecticut where we saw a 20-car pile-up. thankfully, nobody was hurt there but, certainly, a visual of just how dangerous the driving conditions can be out there. take a listen to a couple of drivers in north carolina. >> trying to hurry up and get gas and get home. yeah, if you're not used to it, you should definitely stay home. >> yeah, we'll stay inside most of the weekend, avoid the roads. >> especially if you don't have four-wheel drive, don't get out on the roads because it's unnecessary if you don't have to. >> reporter: and on the west coast just so that you believe had rain sweeping across this area in both california and parts of nevada. the rain will stay until monday, it could create mud slide concerns, and it could also lead to the worst flooding that this region has seen since 2005. several residents in northern preparing for record flooding. >> when it flood, it flooded bad

around here. >> i think it's going to get worse because they expect, like, 8 inches of rain in the next week. >> reporter: the good news is that this flooding, this rain i should say is really helping with the drought. the map on the left is where the drought stands today in california. the map on the right where the drought was one year ago. northern california is really improved, but there's the till a lot to go. you can see that red swath that goes through central california. arthel, we'll certainly take as much rain as we can get here in southern california. arthel: the rain is definitely needed. it's kind of like weight though. if you could just put it where you need it, it all goes to one spot you just don't want it at the same time. anyway, will carr, that was my assessment of the weather. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. arthel: thank you, will. eric: at this hour six people remain hospitalized from the horrific shooting at the airport in fort lauderdale. coming up, we'll have a live report from the hospital on their conditions and prognosis.

arthel: also divers searching for a missing plane in lake eri, finding human remains and a cockpit voice recorder. the latest on the intense search, that's coming up next. eric: and the president-elect and republicans in congress may be on a collision course very soon, completely opposite ideas about what to do considering russia. after the cyber attack, what do we do to vladimir putin? new sanctions could be coming next week. will mr. trump support that? ♪ ♪ >> i don't think that we've ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process. ♪ ♪ you don't let anything keep you sidelined.

eric: time now for a quick check have found what may you. be human remains in the search for that small private jet that disappeared more than a week ago. crews have found a cockpit voice recorder, they say that plane was flown by a columbus-area businessman who carried six people including members of his family that vanished shortly after taking off from cleveland's lake shore airport. legendary actresses debbie reynolds and carry fisher both -- carrie fisher both laid to rest in a private joint funeral. both mother and daughter died last week just one day apart. meanwhile, here in new york city lights were dimmed on broadway in honor of the two stars. both ms. reynolds and ms. fisher appeared on broadway including together in the 1973 musical "irene." the appearance earned ms. reynolds a tony nomination. arthel: president-elect trump formally receiving evidence from

our intelligence community that asserts russian president vladimir putin personally ordered a cyber campaign to meddle in our election. lawmakers this week holding hearings on the hill to push for stiffer penalties againsts moscow. but at the same time, president-elect trump expresses a desire for a good relationship with russia once he is in office. joining me now is jamie weinstein, he's the political commentator and host of the jamie weinstein show which is a podcast. jamie, thanks for being here. let's start with -- >> thanks for having me. >> -- president-elect trump's reaction to the intel reports. which factions of congress might balk at mr. trump's reaction? >> well, i think that the two main people in his own party are lindsey graham and john mccain who are aggressively pushing for more sanctions against russia. they buy entirely the intelligence community's report that russia interfered with the election by hacking the dnc and

trying to kind of a disinformation campaign, or i shouldn't say a disinformation campaign, but releasing e-mails that made hillary clinton look bad while not doing the same with donald trump. anything that interpreted as a aggressive action towards russia. arthel: so will mr. trump's reluctance of a wholesale acceptance of the intel reports in any way affect the senate hearing that's coming up to confirm some of his more controversial cabinet choices, >> well, it'll be interesting. the one that everyone talks about is his pick to be secretary of state, the exxon ceo tillerson. he is close to vladimir putin, he had to be people on his side say because he was ceo of exxon who does business in russia. but there are some concerns, certainly, john mccain and lindsey graham have expressed that perhaps he is too close to

vladimir putin to put in a position of secretary of state. right now it look like he might be on the glide path to be confirmed, but those -- all you need is four people really to break from the republican party to kind of sink his nomination. and we'll see what happens at the hearings. what kind of questions that are given to him and how he responds. but he is someone who is vulnerable, for sure. arthel: you know, as you well know, president reagan took a liking to a russian proverb, trust but verify. you know, might some say, you know, it's actually a smart idea for mr. trump to want to peel back some of the layers of the intel report before making his own assessment completely of what he thinks what happened? >> well, you know, there's certainly no question that the cia is not always right, the intelligence community is not always right. people point to the iraq war with the weapons of mass destruction report. but the question is why does

donald trump take the intelligence agencies' word less seriously than he seems to be taking julian assange who many members of the conservative community and the republican party just not too long ago considered an enemy of the state? now his word seems to be taken more seriously than the intelligence community. so it's entirely understandable to push back against an intelligence community's report, but why, why are -- why are we not to believe the intelligence community and to believe julian assange instead? that's something that is still unclear to me. so i, i give donald trump every right to push back against the ic's report, but i haven't seen the reasoning why he doubts the report, just attacks against them because he doesn't like the implications, i think, of the report. arthel: no, you raised some questions, jamie, that many people have raised in a bipartisan factor or manner, i should say. so, you know, i have to go, they just told me, but i wanted to

talk about how this might affect which at this day and age is so very crucial, but i'll have to have you back so we can discuss that. all right? sounds good. >> let's do it. arthel: thank you, jamie weinstein. take care. eric: authorities now in florida saying the airport shooting travel to fort lauderdale on a mission, specifically to kill there. was in the latest terror attack blamed on radical islamic terrorism, or was the cause mental illness as his family apparently claims? arthel: also, three people remain in intensive care today. florida governor rick scott says they are fighting for their lives. a live update from the hospital coming up next. but first, a witness describes what she saw. >> the guy next to him was face down, he was dead. then he walked around, and my husband's on the other side of the luggage carousel, and he reloaded, and he's walking just

much. eric: so was this mental illness or radical islamic terrorism? for more on that, let's go to rod wheeler, former washington, d.c. homicide detective and a fox news contributor. esteban santiago's family, first of all, they say he suffered louis nations -- hallucinations, was examined for mental illness in alaska, told the fbi that intelligence agents were forcing him to watch isis videos in his head. but there are also indications that he could have been radicalized, making an apparent islamic state gesture in a photo. how do you put all these pieces together? >> that's right, eric, and that's an excellent question. that's the challenge that we in law enforcement are faced with today, trying to determine was this, in fact, an individual that just snapped as a result of post-traumatic stress syndrome, or was this an individual that actually bought into the ideology of isis or one of these other terrorist organizations? i think what we're going to have to continue to do, and i can tell you and the viewers exactly what the fbi is doing right now. they're searching this guy's social media fingerprint or

footprint, and they're talking to people that he was associated with, and we're trying to build a profile to see exactly whether or not this guy was sparked because of his mental illness or if this guy, in fact, intended to do what he did. you know, the other thing that i noticed yesterday, eric, when this thing was taking place is that this event that took place in fort lauderdale was a planned, premeditated event. it took time to plan this thing. and typically, when a person snaps, so to speak, because of post-traumatic stress syndrome, you know, they just don't plan it the way this guy did. so these are the challenges, eric, that's facing law mental illness and a premeditated, you know, attack like this to methodically -- as it is alleged -- first of all, file the papers to have his unloaded gun in the bag, so he did all these proper procedures and then get out and do what he baggage claim? i mean, john hinckley jr. and ronald reagan, you had this, you

know, for years. how do you put that together between being potentially mental ill or having something that's very planned out to the level of giving himself up by just sitting down on the floor when the cops came? >> yeah. that's the other thing too, eric, you say he gave himself up. that doesn't really fall in line with the way isis talks about the way they want their efforts carried out. and so by this guy giving himself up, it was almost like he didn't want to die as a result of what he did. $so that tells me as a law enforcement investigator he was very aware of what he was doing. be and whether or not he expected the outcome to be what it was, we don't know. but i'll tell you this one thing, the only reason this guy stopped shooting yesterday is because he ran out of bullets. he didn't stop shooting because he was confronted by the police, he simply ran out of bullets, and that's why he gave himself up. eric: and not only sitting down, but you talk about that photograph, the one with his index finger which has been shared, you know, other terrorists, dzhokhar in boston

had a photograph of him. what does that symbolize and what would that photograph tell you? >> right. by him, you know, showing his index finger, he's giving -- he's somewhat, you know, praising allah. and that's what that means in the isis world. and not only the finger, the index finger but also the scarf that he was wearing, you know, that has palestinian, it comes from the palestinian world. we see this oftentimes in individuals that want to carry out, you know, the efforts of isis and al-qaeda and these other groups. so we've got to look at all these things. we just can't say all of a sudden, well, yeah, this is just total mental illness when, in fact, this could have been a lot more than that, eric. eric: yeah. he apparently said that he was forced to by his brain waves to watch the isis videos, yet he's seen in the photograph apparently celebrating what some could interpret as isis. it reminds me back in 1997 -- we just showed you the video by accident, the empire state building shooting. this was when a palestinian terrorist opened fire on the observation level of the empire

state building and killed one person. >> right. eric: at the time it was same thing, oh, he's mentally ill, he was despondent over financial aspects, and it took ten years, ten years, rod, until the truth came out that that was a premeditated terrorist attack. his daughter admitted it finally after ten years. so can you have, you know, either it's a mixture, or can you have someone, you know, illness as certainly was in that case when that is not the actual reason behind it? >> right. well, here's the short answer for that, yes and no. and the reason i say yes is because it is a two-pronged event. i mean, you can easily say, oh, the reason i did what i did was but at the same time, what we are charged with in law enforcement as investigators is to try to disprove that. i guarantee you, eric, when this case goes to court, when it goes to court at whatever point, this guy, his defense attorney is going to argue that he was mentally insane at the time

because of his experience over in iraq. maybe that's the case, maybe it wasn't the case. but we're going to have to prove that that wasn't the case if it was. and the way that we're going to be able to prove that is by showing a history of behavior of this individual and the fact that this entire event was premeditated. eric: so do you think there'll be an insanity plea, as you just said, and the way -- >> oh, easy. eric: -- to counter that is what does he have in his commuter? >> i can tell already just by listening to his aunt and the other family members are already starting to stage that argument. oh, he didn't get enough assistance when he was having his mental problems. it may be, like i said, maybe the guy did have mental problems. but the question that i have, if he had such mental problems, why did he take so much time to plan this attack out, and why did he give himself up? because if by giving himself up that doesn't necessarily fall in line with the rules in which isis have propagated amongst

themselves. eric: yeah, a lot of conflicting evidence here. rod, thank you for your analysis, deeply appreciated, of course. arthel? arthel: well, four suspects facing hate crime charges in that horrible and shocking facebook live kidnapping case in chicago. their first appearance in court accused of torturing an 18-year-old man with special needs. what lies ahead for them. eric: you know, there have been growing tensions within the trump transition team. the man on the left, former cia director wooly, james woolsey, well, the man on the right, nominee james mattis, it seems they're becoming increasingly uncomfortable about some of the decision making, so much so that mr. woolsey bailed out. what's ahead as the team goes to the white house? ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ eric: well, four suspects accused this that sickening

chicago facebook live attack, well, they remain behind bars without bail. the four were charged yesterday in chicago with hate crime charges, kidnapping and battery with a deadly weapon. prosecutors say that kidnapping and beating, as you know, was streamed live on facebook. it started in a van and continued in a house. the victim, an 18-year-old special needs man, had his mouth taped shut, his hands bound with a belt while those suspects allegedly -- at least one of them who he knew -- also verbally and physically abused him. arthel: reports of growing tensions within the trump transition team. former cia director james woolsey stepping aside as an adviser, saying he has not been consulted on intelligence matters in quite some time now. and general james mattis, the president-elect's choice for defense secretary, is reportedly clashing with the transition team over who will get some of the top posts at the pentagon. retired four-star general jack keane joins us now. he is the chairman of the institute for the study of war

and the former army vice chief of staff, also a fox news military analyst. general keane, always good to have you. >> good to be here, arthel. arthel: thank you. let's start with general mattis, the clash -- is that concerning to you at all or, you know, is this perhaps expected in trying to get the right selections? >> yeah, it pretty much goes on in most administrations as they're trying to form their team. the washington media here in d.c., they love to feed on this stuff, that there's some kind of clash between the principals in this new administration that somehow is going to lead to some dysfunctionalty. what has really happened and what's involved here is general flynn and general mattis, they're trying to put together -- help to put together the best possible team in the department of defense that they possibly can. and in doing that, they may not agree on every person. and why should they? because they're coming at it from different experiences that !2w/2nq

and different experiences inside the department of defense. what's in front of us, and i know both of them, and i've spoken to both of them within the last couple of weeks -- not concerning this issue, but all the issues that are facing them. and i'll just tell you that the department of defense is badly in need of reform, and mattis is trying to get the best staff he can in there to help him from day within do that. and the united states military as a whole, as we've reported many times here, arthel, needs to be rebuilt. and those service secretaries, i'm sure general mattis wants to get the very best who can help him do that from day one. one of the things we normally do with service secretaries, full disclosure here, they're usually politically connected to the party that's coming into power or to the candidate that has just been elected. and it's more a reflection of their life of accomplishment and influence than it is in their ability to directly affect the military department. i think probably likely jim

mattis wants to get people in there that can roll up their sleeves on day one and help him rebuild the united states military. and i don't believe he's clashing at all with general flynn over something as important as that. arthel: okay. i want to move on now, general keane, to ambassador james woolsey. as you know, he resigned thursday as senior adviser to president-elect trump. you know, ambassador woolsey raised questions about what president-elect trump knew about russia's election-related hacks. ambassador woolsey says that he was cut out of intelligence talks between mr. trump and national security adviser general michael flynn. what's going on here? >> well, i think, again, i mean, i think there's an explanation for it. i'm not trying to, you know, cover over any disagreements that may exist, but i know jim very well. he had a dished career, was a great -- distinguished career, was a great director of the central intelligence agency, fox

news contributor here, and he's just a great guy. but i think what happened is he was an adviser on a transition team for intelligence purposes. and then the transition team itself started to make recommendations to the president-elect on who should be part of his staff in the white house, national security adviser, etc., and who his principal cabinet department heads should be to include intelligence chiefs. those jobs have now largely been given out, and they are the people who are talking to president-elect trump because that's his team going forward. and i think woolsey, i heard him say on fox he's trying to make sure that he's not falsely representing his position by saying that he's a member of the transition team. arthel: right. >> yeah, because he's not providing any advice anymore. arthel: general keane, quickly uçpñ president-elect trump announced he would like to have as his director of national intelligence senator dan coats from indiana. quickly, what do you think about that, sir? >> yeah, that's a great pick. listen, the director of national

intelligence, everybody knows that we have to reform this function, there's got to be some changes made in the intelligence function. we are bringing in here a very experienced person with a deep background in national security. he was nearly the secretary of defense during the george w. bush administration, but secretary rumsfeld was, obviously, selected for that position. he's highly respected and highly regarded. and given his years of experience, i think he's being brought in there -- no one told me this, i'm just surmising it -- to really reform that whole dni operation because most of us who look at it know it's badly in need of it. arthel: okay. as you know under president george w. bush, senator coats served as the u.s. ambassador to germany. general jack keane, it's always a pleasure to speak with you, sir, and we will leave it there. thank you. >> good talking to you, arthel. eric: coming up later tonight on "justice with jeanine pirro"

♪ ♪ eric: well, you know, sleep apnea can be a serious condition when you have it in you're sleeping and even more serious behind the controls of a speeding train. federal authorities are considering that condition as a possible cause for this week's happened in brooklyn. more than a hundred people were injured when that train slammed into the end of the track at the 'emal. terminal. they will test the engineer of that train for that condition of sleep apnea, a disorder that can cause excessive daytime sleeping. it's been linked, also, to about over the past few years including several where passengers were killed. dr. jen cottle joins us now, assistant professor at the rowan school of osteopatrick medicine.

first of all, doctor, describe what is sleep apnea. >> absolutely. well, you know, sleep apnea's actually a very common condition. a lot more people have it than we probably think. what happens is that at night a person actually stops breathing. it's brief, but it happens multiple times throughout the night. and a lot of people with sleep apnea don't even know that they have it. there's many types, but the most common tube is type is obstructive, that's when muscles in the back of the throat don't actually keep the airway open so that breathing can occur normally. so, again you stop breathing multiple times as night, and it can have really serious consequences. eric: yeah. and if you have it, you may be exhausted and tired the rest of the day. >> that's exactly right. one of the things i'm looking for when patients say, you know, i wake up in the morning and i just don't feel like i've slept, but i did. sometimes i get sleepy when i'm

driving in my car. one of the hallmark symptoms is feeling tired during the day even when you've slept at night. and one of the reasons is because a person with sleep apnea actually stops breathing multiple times throughout the night, they don't even know it. so, yes, being tired is one of the hallmark symptoms, absolutely. eric: so now we don't know the situation of the ec near with this train -- engineer with this train, passengers said it was going too fast when it slammed into the end of the track in brooklyn. very similar to what happened in hoboken across the hudson river here in new york city when a train also slammed into pier. what's interesting is both crashes happened, you know, in the more -- during the morning rush hour. >> well, it is. i mean, you know, it really is. and, you know, i read some of the articles about the cases and, certainly, there's an information going on about --

investigation going on to the current crash that we're talking about. but when we talk about sleep but when we talk about sleep?ñ?r situation, yes, they can with be tired during the day. but sometimes these patients have other symptoms as well. you know, some of these patients actually will gasp or snort at night when they sleep, snore, sometimes they have headaches, but the key here as a family can occur at any point in the day if that's, in fact, what a patient has. treated. we talk trains and planes and automobiles. because there can be a higher risk with these types of things. eric: yeah. and there was a train crash in 2013 which there was a fatality, happened in the bronx, new york. going around the curb 82 miles an hour. william rockefeller, apparently fell asleep, and they said that he had suffered from sleep apnea. he sued the railroad saying they

should have had the proper controls, which they didn't have. so this can be, you know, controls actually to stop a speeding train, you know, if you suffer from this. so this can be a serious condition. >> it really can. and this is what really actually takes us to, yes, we're talking about these train incidents, but this is why it's actually relevant for everyone. no matter whether you are an engineer of a train or not or whether you just drive a car. when we were talking about sleep apnea as a condition, once again because a person with sleep apnea actually stops breathing multiple times at night, it causes interrupted sleep which makes them drowsy suggester day and potentially more likely to -- that's why we have to know this is happening. eric: doctor, sorry, we're up againstew the clock. if you suffer from it, tell your doctor.om or you could push that button. sfx: rocket launching. cockpit sounds. skip the bank, skip the paperwork, and go completely online. securely share your financial info and confidently

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 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. arthel: fox news alert, the airport in fort laud arer dale opened for business one day after a gunman unleashed a deadly attack inside a baggage claim, fatally shooting five people and wounding six others. welcome to a brand new hour inside "america's news headquarters," hello, i'm arthel neville. eric: i'm eric shawn, thank you for joining us. authorities are expected to release publicly the federal charges later today against this suspect. he, of course, is iraq war veteran esteban santiago. his family says the 26-year-old had been receiving mental health treatment at his home in alaska after claiming that he heard voices in his head, suffered from hallucinations and

apparently told the fbi that intelligence agencies were forcing him to watch isis videos. that police in alaska had at one point taken away a gun that he had from him but, apparently, returned it late last year after he had undergone a mental evaluation. it is not clear at this hour if that was the same weapon that was used alleged hi in this unleashing of that hour to risk meanwhile, the fbi says it believes santiago did act alone, but so far they are not ruling out any possible motive including terrorism. >> indications are that he came here to carry out this horrific attack. we have not identified any triggers that would have caused this attack. but, again, it's very early in the investigation, and we're pursuing all angles. eric: phil keating is live at the fort lauderdale airport where the sun is going down. phil, if anyone knows about terrorism and how to interrogate

a suspect, it's that gentleman right there because he was the interrogator of saddam hussein. what are they learning tonight? any more about the suspect? >> reporter: well, eric, 70-80 seconds is the time it took, according to the broward county sheriff, for the airport gunman to begin shooting 11 innocent travelers, some of them in the head, killing five and wounding six others before the first sheriff's deputy on scene here at the airport property confronted and engaged the suspect who then sat down and surrendered. the alleged suspect isestest ban santa yation go, and tonight he's in the custody of the u.s. marshals. he'll be arraigned in federal court downtown fort lauderdale monday. he was discharged four months ago by the alaska national guard for unsatisfactory performance. at around 1:00 yesterday in terminal two's baggage claim, santiago allegedly retrieved his suitcase from the carousel, removed his gun, loaded it and opened fire.

>> i heard pop, pop, pop, pop, and then a herd of people immediately after that were just running, and they're all like run, run, run! >> reporter: the gun used in the tragedy, a .9 mm semiautomatic handgun. anchorage, alaska, fbi held a news conference there this afternoon and said santiago walked into their office in anchorage in november claiming u.s. intelligence was controlling his brain. they say he was agitated, incoherent, making disconnected statement, needed psychological help but broke no laws, and they found no connection to terror, so he was not placed on the no-fly list. here is fbi in miami this morning. >> at this point it appears that the shooter was acting alone. but, again, as i mentioned, it's very early in the investigation. significant amount of

investigative leads that we've collected not only here in south florida, our anchorage office is actively involved in supporting this investigation. so we're trying to determine whether he truly was acting alone or not. yesterday afternoon the airport completely shut down here, and it was shut down for the rest of the night. no one was allowed to come in, no one was allowed to go out. there was about 28 planes on the tarmac for six hours full of passengers that couldn't get to the jetways. 8:00, finally, everything started to resume. airport operations resumed this morning about five a.m., flights in and out again, and at terminal two, the scene of yesterday's carnage, delta airlines is taking passengers, ticketing them, checking them, and they are going to the gates and part of the baggage claim has now been reopened. so things are getting back to normal at the airport for traveler operations, but they

remain about 20,000 pieces of luggage that still must be returned to their owners, and that's going to take several days. a lo to gist call nightmare. eric: phil, thank you so much. arthel: investigators do have a lot to work with and many questions to be answered. coming up, we're going to have more on the investigation with former secret service agent dan bongino. eric: the u.s. intelligence community releasing that bombshell report that calls russia's interference in our election, quote: unprecedented in scale. an effort, they say, to have discredited hillary clinton and help elect donald trump. the report showing moscow's efforts went beyond just hacking the dnc and mrs. clinton's campaign chair john podesta, revealing those intriguing e-mails during the campaign. the report also issuing a dire warning that russia is certainly not finished with cyber meddling into u.s. affairs or our elections or elections in other western nations. caroline shively has the very latest from our washington

bureau. hi, caroline. >> reporter: the report says this is part of russia's plan to assert its influence on the world stage and that the kremlin will take what it's learned in this attack and try again. it concludes that russian president vladimir putinen ordered the attack himself and the goal of it eventually became to help donald trump win the white house. but the report details that at first the kremlin's mission was to hurt the u.s. democratic process, to hurt hillary clinton and undermine her presidency because they believed she'd win. it also finds that russia collected information on some republican targets but did not conduct a comparable disclosure campaign. the intelligence community didn't assess whether the hacking process affected the election's outcome, but they do say it did not affect vote counting. third-party intermediaries and trolls to post ugly lies and rumors on social media. some critics see the report itself as an indictment of the intelligence community's

performance. >> either way you cut it, the people in charge should be fired detect this early on and tell the president, tell the american people or now, after the fact be, they're playing politics. so the bottom line here is it's bad. >> reporter: the conclusions of the report will given at the high confidence level, that means there is high quality intelligence from multiple sources, but it does not guarantee the information is fact. eric? eric: kay line, thank you so much -- caroline, thank you so much. arthel: meanwhile, president-elect trump remains resolute that russia's hacking had no effect on the outcome of the presidential election. mr. trump also taking democrats to task following his briefing by intel officials. the president-elect saying they have no one to blame but themselves for the infiltration of the dnc. brian yen nas is live are outside trump tower here in new york city with more. >> reporter: hi, arthel. for president-elect donald trump, he's emphasizing the key point in the intelligence report that says that the russian

hacking or they're trying to -- their trying to interfere in this election did not have any effect on voter machines or voter tallies. that is the point that president-elect trump is emphasizing that was made in this intelligence report. now, that declassified 25-page report did say as we heard caroline shively report that the russian president, vladimir putin, did order a campaign, a hacking campaign and a propaganda campaign that, ultimately, tried to help mr. trump win this election. now, whether or not it had any impact on the election outcome, this intelligence report did not assess that. now, it also appears mr. trump is not looking to get into a contentious relationship with russia or president vladimir putin over their meddling in the 2016 election. trump tweeting, quote: having a good relationship with russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. only stupid people or fools would think that it's bad. we have enough problems around the world without yet another one. when i am president, russia will respect us far more than they do

now. both countries will perhaps work together to solve some of the many great and pressing problems and issues of the world. now, mr. trump did blame the democratic national committee for the russian hacking on their computers tweeting, quote: gross negligence by the democratic national committee allowed hacking to take place. the republican national committee had strong defenses. now, "the wall street journal" did report last month that hackers did try to get into the rnc computer but were unsuccessful because of that strong defense. but it's also important to note that this intelligence report says that the russians did try to get information and did get information from republican and c chose -- they did not use the same disclosure methods with republicans as they did with democrats. arthel? arthel: okay. bryan, thank you very much for that report. and i want to remind you that there are big changes coming to the fox news prime time lineup. tucker carlson tonight is moving to 9 p.m., 9 p.m. eastern

starting monday. it will follow the o'reilly factor, and before that you can catch martha maccallum at 7 p.m. eastern, so be sure to tune in. good stuff. eric: it'll be an exciting monday here on the fox news channel. meanwhile, there's a massive winter storm pounding nearly the entire eastern seaboard. it's from new england stretching all the way down to northern georgia. take a look at that, some cities in north carolina saw as much as 10 inches of snow, almost a foot, in north carolina. leaving tens of thousands of people without power. and the wintry weather is affecting air travel nationwide on this saturday night. many flights, obviously and understandably, have been delayed. some of them have been canceled. ice and sleet also making for some dangerous driving conditions. and the hard freeze may not thaw, they say, anytime soon. will carr joins us now. he's in a part of the country that is spared what we are going through here in new york at this hour. will?

>> reporter: yeah, a little sunny here, eric, in los angeles. but there's definitely dangerous winter weather conditions on both sides of the country. i want you to take a look at the latest map that we have. we've had some bad rainstorms here in california, and then you just saw bryan's report. it's snowing all along the northeast. in new york they're expecting 3-5 inches, boston up to a foot, 50 million people under an advisory on the east coast this weekend. the snow and ice have already hit parts of the south leaving four people dead, and the strong winds knocking that snow and ice off of limbs onto power lines leaving tens of thousands of people in the dark. the weather's also created travel nightmares, hundreds of flights have been canceled and traffic has been snarled in states up and down the east coast. in connecticut we saw a 20 car pile-up. nobody was hurt there, but a vivid example of just how dangerous the driving conditions can be. in fact, take a listen to one truck driver in north carolina.

>> it gets so bad, slick ice, just stay home because it's just going -- one car into another. and we're going to be out there, it's going to be nonstop. >> reporter: on the west coast, rainstorms are sweeping across california and into nevada. they're expected to last until monday. they could create mudslides, also there could be historic flooding that goes back to the worst since 2005. and one resident say she's definitely preparing for >> reporter: the good news is that we've seen a lot of rain here in southern california in recent weeks. in fact, it's really helped in the drought. if you take a look at the two screen over the past year, the drought has really dissipated especially in northern california, but there's still a wide swath throughout central california, so we still need a

lot more rain to get out of the historic five-year drought that we've been in here in california. eric: all right, well, i know a lot of folks are jealous to, keeping their eye on that nice green and the nice street behind you when you consider what some of us have been facing this weekend. thanks so much. arthel? >> reporter: that's right. arthel: eric, a solemn memorial service held in the french capital as the city of paris remembers the victims of a terror attack two years ago today. eric: and president-elect trump, well, he's calling for a cyber protection plan after u.s. intelligence confirmed that russia, yes, did work to influence our presidential election. but what, if anything, can we do to protect our democracy from the ill intentions of other? senator dan sullivan of alaska, member of the armed services committee, is here. he will tell us what comes next.

sway and influence the very foundation of our honored democracy, our elections? a direct assault on the very tenets of our republic, our sovereignty and our american values. our next guest warns, quote: this is a new form of warfare, and we don't have a strategy to deal with it. so what can, what should we do? alaska republican senator dan sullivan joins us, he's a member of the armed services committee among others. that committee held hearings on foreign cyber hacking, and he joins us from washington. thank you for being with us this evening. >> good evening, eric. good to be here. eric: of course. first of all, i mean, do you think we can adequately bolster our defenses, as you call it, in this new form of warfare, and why haven't they been adequately bolstered and why haven't we been protected until now? >> it's a great question. and one of the things that happened this week with the hearing and the briefings and the new report is that there is growing consensus in some important areas among the

incoming trump administration, the intelligence community and the congress. and those areas first include, as you stated earlier in the broadcast, there's no evidence that the russian hacking impacted the november elections. donald trump, mike pence won fair be square, and those who are trying to use russian hacking to delegitimize the election are just doing a disservice to americans. but, you know, it is true that the u.s. has become the world's cyber punching bag. and it's not just russia. it's china, it's north korea, it's iran and it's a wunsch of different -- bunch of different institutions. and the reason that's happening, eric, and it came out in the hearing is that those taking actions against us feel that the benefits of doing%jñ?ñ? that significantly outweigh the costs. look at china. china, you know, hacked into 22 million sensitive files of u.s.

military, federal government, intel personnel, myself included what did the chinese get from you? >> they got sf-86s. these are the detailed files that you put together to get top secret clearances. eric: that is shocking. and it's, first of all, that's senator, quite frankly, shocking that putin quoted in this report directly ordered this to help hurt hillary clinton as a personal payback because she was critical of him and sparked protests back in 2011 and said the report helped donald trump win. and so this is a direct assault on the united states of america, and there's going to be a senate sanctions bill on this. i mean, do you think we can actually have the proper defenses? because we are in a new era of -- >> yeah. eric: it's not just cyber attacks, it's propaganda. the russian television network and others, i mean, it's very sophisticated from fake news to

propaganda, sophisticated informational assault on our values, and that is what they're trying to do in their favor. >> so, eric, here's what we need to do. i mean, we need a much more comprehensive strategy. we have not had that. the trump administration is saying in the first 90 days they're going to focus on the armed services committee we're setting up a new cyber subcommittee. but a key component of that strategy has to be to significantly increase the costs to countries or nonstate actors who are taking cyber attacks against us. eric: wouldn't they just retaliate against us? you know, what do we do? is this oil embargoes of russia, tighter sanctions, is this sanctioning more officials trying to cripple the russian economy even more than, you know, it already is? >> so one of the things that we can do, and it came out in the hearing a couple days ago, is we need to look at this from the perspective of choosing our retaliation using all the instruments of american power.

so it doesn't need to be a tit for tat on cyber. and it, in some ways it doesn't even need to be publicized. let me give you an example. after the sony attack by north korea, the obama administration said that they were going to retaliate. we never heard what they did. i'm not even sure they did retaliate, but a couple months after north korea's entire internet went down for a few days. now, i don't know if we did that. the press reports are conflicting on that, but i hope we did do that. so there are things that we can do both publicly and covertly to up the costs for those who are doing these cyber attacks. with regard to russia, it might be sanctions, it might be much more robust radio-free europe and the voice of america. that makes russia very uncomfortable. and more broadly, it should be increasing our military and increasing energy production for the united states. against russian aggression. eric: and are you confident that

the trump administration, once in office, will certainly take this so seriously when critics, as you know, have accused them of, you know, from the campaign what mr. trump said about vladimir putin and others with russian ties, do you think that as president mr. trump will take this seriously enough that it will stop? >> well, look, i take the trump administration at their word, both the president-elect and the vice president-elect after the briefings came out and said we need to do much more with regard to the hacking of the united states. we need a strategy. i couldn't agree more. it's going to be a strategy, though, that shouldn't just be based, focused on russia, it should be based on all the countries that are attacking the united states. and we need to gain credibility here. when you have the russians attacking us, when you have the chinese attacking us and essentially the obama administration has done nothing in the case of china or very little, too little too late in

the case of russia, what's going to be critical is regaining american credibility and upping the costs for all those countries who have been attacking the united states for years without any consequence. eric, well, senator sullivan, thank you for joining us tonight because this certainly exposed a vulnerability that doesn't just affect and impact the elections, but you and i. i mean, the fact that you had your stuff flinched at one point. they've got million ofs of us out there with computers and the internet, it is very dangerous. >> thank you, eric. it's a big issue. eric: we'll see what the senate does next week. arthel? article article eric, so many unanswered questions regarding the suspect in yesterday's deadly shoot anything the baggage claims at the fort lauderdale/hollywood international airport. we will talk to a former member of the nypd on what investigators will be looking for in the days and weeks ahead. eric: and we are learning more about the victims of that horrible attack, those who lost their lives and those who are

released this afternoon. the doctors here at this level i trauma center say they regularly train for such things like a mass shooting. >> it looked like chaos, but it's controlled. no one who arrived at the hospital has expired. they are all in the hospital doing best as we can do right now. but everybody is stable. >> reporter: initially, more than 50 people came to this hospital for treatment, many with minor injuries suffered in the panic that followed the shooting as well as a number of cases of heat exhaustion from people who were out on that tarmac at the airport for several hours. we are learning more, too, about the five people who were killed near the baggage terminal in terminal two at fort lauderdale airport, many of them seniors who were here from different parts of the country to travel including one of them, olga wortherring who was not only a grandmother, but a great gran well, she was shot to death, her husband

survived the attack. eric: just that photo reminds you of the human costs of these type of horrible incidents. thank you. arthel? arthel: yeah, it certainly does, and we're bringing in now dan bongino, a former secret service agent for president obama, also a former officer with the nypd. dan, what is your initial assessment of what's happening here? >> well, you know, arthel, this seems to be an act of premeditation based on the do, so it doesn't seem like this was just some psychopathological emotional break at the fort lauder or dale airport. it seems like a premeditated act. now, we don't know the motive yet, i'm absolutely sure the investigators are working diligently to figure that out, premeditated act although he may have had some, you know, psychological issues. it seems there was some element

of planning here. arthel: yeah. authorities in anchorage are saying they have several, multiple search warrants out for multiple locations there in anchorage. so what sort of questions do you think they'll be trying to answer, what sort of evidence will they be trying to piece together? >> well, the first is going to be, you know, the t-word, is there some nexus to terrorism, however soft? was this person inspired by some kind of isis propaganda? was it just, you know, he had some kind of psychological condition and felt some natural attraction towards that type of propaganda? you want to go to social media, you obviously want to dissect all of that, his e-mails. you want to go to phone records, financial records, you want to see who he was call, who he was speaking to. does he have a contact anywhere? we don't know any of that yet. we obviously have some evidence given his military record and some history of some psychological interaction -- excuse me, psychiatric break he had sam at some point, but we just don't know motive, and

motive is really critical right now. arthel: and you mentioned terrorism. the fbi in anchorage are saying this guy had no ties to terrorism, he broke no laws, but they had a press conference earlier this afternoon, and they listed a series of prior run-ins with the law plus in november santiago walked into the fbi office in anchorage saying that he was hearing voices, that the u.s. intelligence officials were telling him to watch isis videos. i mean, should santiago have been red flagged in this security database? >> yeah, arthel. these are what's been called, you know, known wolves, people who have come into contact with law enforcement officials in the past, and there hasn't been adequate follow-up. listen, i'm not throwing anyone under the bus, i was a federal agent for a long time. it is an extremely difficult job with very limited personnel in many cases. i get that. but a lot of these people, whether it was the orlando nightclub shooter, whether it was the incident in new york, have come into contact with law

enforcement before. and we have to figure out a way within the bounds of our constitutional republic to do an adequate enough follow-up so that we can dismiss these people as not a threat, or with other going to -- or we're going to have to somehow later on follow up and make sure that threat is managed whether it's interacting with their family or not. pú service, you know, we designated people as classes, class i, class ii or class iii threats, and if you were a class iii threat, we essentially had to monitor you anytime the president was around. i mean, you know, we had, obviously, just engaged in surveillance and whatever it may be because we can't let you do that. arthel: i want to tell you about something just coming across the wire, that santiago has been charged with performing an act of violence there at the airport along with the death penalty. what do you think about those charges? is this what they would call an overcharge or spot on? >> no, i think this is spot on.

i mean, whatever your position on the death penalty is, it is the law in the state of florida and, obviously, the components of the crime are going to be some intentional act. there's no question when you take a head shot at someone at close range with a weapon that he reloaded that this isn't going to be some manslaughter charge. ing the only defense -- i'm not a lawyer, but the only defense i can imagine an attorney can pull up is some kind of a psychological, psychiatric one. i mean, they have him on video, multiple witnesses. i mean, this is as open and shut a case as i've ever seen. arthel: given the seeking of the death penalty and going back to your open toking remarks which is, look, you feel this is premeditated, that if there was some meant issues on the table, this guy really took some methodical steps to get from anchorage to fort lauderdale. >> oh, yeah. yeah, i'm so glad you brought this up. just because you have some kind of mental disorder does not mean that you can't take, you can't make volitional acts.

he loaded the weapon, he loaded it in the bathroom, he took the bag off the baggage claim, he 3r0e79ly had enough mental acuity to check in the weapon using the proper procedures at the airport and tooking a long flight. it's not like this was some quick emotional break. it points to premeditation and the capability to do this with a sound mind even if he did have some kind of a psychological condition. there's a big difference there. arthel: yeah, dan bongino, i know you were not questioning anybody, any other authorities' investigative skills, and nor are we here, we're just posing questions we think a lot of people watching are asking. dan bongino -- >> absolutely. arthel: -- thank you so much. eric, meanwhile in washington, republican senators are going to be ready to consider the president-elect's cabinet choices. but democratic lawmakers have a few bones to pick with a few of these men and women. susan appreciate owe joins us next to discuss that brewing bipartisan battle on capitol hill.

here's what trump's senior adviser kellyanne conway has to say about all this. was her fre. then she came to louisiana as a slave. i became curious where in africa she was from. so i took the ancestry dna test to find out more about my african roots. the ancestry dna results were really specific. they told me all of these places in west africa. i feel really proud of my lineage, and i feel really proud of my ancestry. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story, get started for free at ancestry.com has been a struggle. i considered all my options with my doctor, who recommended once-daily toujeo®. now i'm on the path to better blood sugar control. toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly, providing consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours, proven full 24-hour blood sugar control, and significant a1c reduction. and along with toujeo®,

♪ ♪ arthel: president-elect donald trump will hold a news conference next week, his first in about six months. it is set for the same day as senate confirmation hearings on six of mr. trump's cabinet nominees, and some of those selections seen here are expected to receive pushback from democratic lawmakers. joining me now to discuss the timing of the two events is susan ferrechio, chief congressional correspondent for the washington perm. susan -- examiner. susan, so what do you make of the timing of president-elect trump's news conference, and will this affect the hearings' schedule? >> well, it will certainly in the media overshadow some of the fanfare of these con fir make hearings. it's going -- confirmation hearings. as you said, there are sick hearings scheduled -- six hearings scheduled, one begins

on the 10 toth and continues on the 11th, and the rest all begin on the 11th. so you have six hearings going. also that day the senate will be voting on budget reconciliation which is part of their effort to repeal the health care law. so there's an awful lot going on that day. and, of course, whenever trump speaks, everyone pays attention. this is going to be a major address. it's greatly anticipated. people are wanting to know how he plans to separate himself from his business interests. apparently, we're going to hear about that, and he's going to have a press concerns, so it's going to be a big deal. and i think democrats actually are concerned that it's going to overshadow their hope for fireworkscvñ?ñ? at these hearind pushback, as you said, against a lot of these mom -- nominees. they're not thrill with the the cabinet picks because of what their plans are for running these different agencies. so i think it's part of the hearings on january 11th.

arthel: mr. trump is a master at staging, and do you think that during the news conference, susan, that the president-elect will make a public case for those cabinet choices, that he knows will get pushback from the senate hearings? committee? he's done that at various rallies. he's brought his nominees up on the stage, and he's enforced them fully. -- can endorsed them fully. i think part of the issue here is what can democrats do to slow things down. certainly, they want the stage themselves if those hearings are going to take place next week. and with trump giving a press conference, people will be switching from c-span back to the cables to watch, so that's definitely not what they were hoping for. arthel: right. so do we know if the president-elect's news conferences is going to be chock full of information or kind of what you swim mated earlier, that perhaps it is a distraction? >> well, i don't think -- he tends to make news, you know?

he tends to say things that become newsworthy. he's about to take office. we're just days away here. we're still not sure how he plans to divorce himself from his business interests so people can be assured there's no conflict of interest. and there's a lot of questions swirling about that. i think that this will be very much of a newsmaker press conference, that's what i predict. arthel: yeah, and you're probably right because mr. trump did say this is the time he is going to talk about the future of his businesses. also you know this press conference happening a day after president obama making his farewell remarks to the nation. perhaps might this be an opportunity for president-elect trump to respond to president obama's comments the day before? >> absolutely. i think this'll be a rebuttal. i don't think the president will leave office without taking more jabs at the incoming administration, especially because it's aiming to dismantle a lot of his legacy. so you can be sure if he takes shots at trump, we all know trump does not waste any time or

effort punching right back. and i think that's going to be also a big part of the press conference. again, why it may pretty much drown out these hearings if they do, indeed, go forward which republicans say they will. i just talked to the leaders on capitol hill yesterday, and they said there are no plans at the moment to acquiesce is what the democrats are requesting, that they plan on moving ahead as of right now next week with that full slate of hearings scheduled. arthel: so no postponing of those scheduled hearings. >> not as of this moment. now, they are talking to democrats. democrats are saying they want further review from the ethics, the office of government ethics putting out a letter today saying they haven't completed a review. but it's important to remember, arthel, that both president obama and his predecessor, quick confirmation hearings scheduled x they also -- obama had confirmations completed his first day in office. so this is nothing new.

it's not like republicans are pulling a fast one here, so it's hard for democrats to make the argument when they did the same arthel: okay. we will be watching, susan, and we'll talk to you again, i'm sure, very soon to assess everything. thank you, susan. and by the way, tune in to justice with judge jeanine, yeah, i got that right, judge jeanine peer row tonight for an exclusive interview with eric trump. it is his first sit-down since shutting down his charity. that is going to start right here on the fox news channel at 9 p.m. eastern tonight. eric: you know, arthel, russia scaling down its military presence in syria, but it vows to continue to fight international terrorism. you know what u.s. officials are saying about that tonight? it's not true, that moscow has no intentions of helping us in the battle against isis. um... who are you? i'm val. the orange money retirement squirrel from voya.

♪ ♪ eric: russia's beginning to draw down its military presence in syria just a bit. a top russian military official saying that the kremlin is withdrawing this aircraft carrier from its waters off the coast. this comes after the government forces retook control of the rebel-held city of aleppo last month. but as moscow bolsters its military base, what does this

all mean for the civil war in syria? a counterterrorism analyst at the heritage foundation joins us. robin, we've been witnessing this human catastrophe five years, 400,000 dead, five million refugees. does this final signal we're at the beginning of the end? we've got the ceasefire and the upcoming peace talks. >> well, i find it certainly very hard to believe. i'd certainly need to see a lot more evidence of russia ultimately scaling down its involvement in syria than just aircraft carrier. the vast majority of russian air facilities take place using an air base, a russian air base in western syria. that's not going anywhere. and we also need to remember that russia's talked in the past about scaling down its it's ended up actually escalating its activities. so i think we need to treat these russian claims with a lot of skepticism.

eric: we're looking at the aircraft carrier, the only one that they have? i mean, it was used really for aleppo. do you think if vladimir putin was really serious about going after isis, it would stay there and go after raqqa, go after mosul? it would assist, you know, the iraqi forces and us? i mean, you've got u.s. officials saying they're not attacking isis, they're just full of it. >> well, yes. this idea that russia could be an ally against isis flies in the face of every shred of evidence we've seen from the past few years. russia certainly could be an ally if it wished to be, but it doesn't. it's been targeting the forces around aleppo, it's been targeting rebels who are against bashar al assad, not necessarily aligned with isis, and that's because it wants to prop up assad. this is the man who has been responsible now for almost half a million deaths, whose forces bomb maternity wards and things like that. and, of course, assad wants to present the choice between him and isis.

very conveniently for him. and russia is aiding assad and presenting that choices which is why it's very hard for me to believe that russia could ever be anything other than an arsonist in syria a opposed to a firefighter. eric: great choice of words. but you hear what the president-elect says, he hopes to make some type of deal with vladimir putin and they can work together against isis. what would your advice with -- be to mr. trump? >> well, president-elect trump isn'ter terribly different from his predecessors on this. president bush and president obama also believed that they could cajole and persuade putin to be something like a useful ally, and they were both disappointed time and time again because vladimir putin isn't a useful ally. he's a thug and he's a bully, and thugs and bullies only respond to acts of strength. and i think that's where president-elect trump has to

make his stand. he has to tell vladimir putin that the weaknesses of the last eight years is over, there's a new administration in town and that the way to u.s. dictates policy towards russia is about to change. i hope that's what he does, although we need to wait and see. eric: finally, do you think he will, you know, do you think he will do that? >> well, at the moment president-elect trump has talked russia and its potential to act as a useful ally in syria and around the world in his tweet, you mentioned the tweet he wrote today. i have to think and believe that as president-elect trump takes his place in the oval office and that russia plays around the world with his own eyes and sees the impact -- eric: we're up against the clock. >> then i don't believe he will. i think he'll have to get reality. eric: robin, sorry to cut you off. against the clock. thank you for your insight. i take to the open road.

healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me.
