>> jon: we will see you back here in one hour. >> jenna: "outnumbered" starts right now. >> kennedy: pox news alert, the world pauses -- civil rights icon john lewis, and all just two days before mr. trump is to be sworn in as america's 45th president. this after the democrat questions of the legitimacy. mr. term, not holding back. this is "outnumbered." i'm sandra smith here today, meghan mccain is here. and kennedy, #oneluckyguy, though former senator, senator scott brown. he has outnumbered, good to see you back, sir. >> scott: good to see everybody.

>> sandra: huge week. okay. all right, we will get more on that and just a minute. we begin with the new partisan fight after john lewis question the legitimacy of mr. term selection win. louis explaining why he feels this way in an interview with meet the press. >> i believe in trying to work with people i just thought it would be hard. it is going to be very difficult. i don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president. >> i think the russians participated in helping this man gets elected. and they have destroyed the candidacy of hillary clinton. >> i think there was a conspiracy on a the part of the russians. they helped him get elected. >> sandra: president-elect trump not letting the explosive remarks slide. assuming the democrats on twitter.

a same john lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district. which is in horrible state and falling apart. not to mention crime infested. rather than falsely complain about the election results. all talk, talk, talk. no action or results. sad. mr. term's tweets storming criticism from democrats. the vice president elect micah pence defended his boss. >> i think donald trump has the right to defend himself. a saying that this is not a legitimate president, it is just deeply disappointing to me. i hope that he reconsiders it. what donald trump was talking about there was literally generations of failed policies coming out of washington, d.c. they have failed too many families into many cities across this country. >> sandra: first of all he goes to parton questioning the

legitimacy in the win. >> scott: i know what he has done in his life, but he is the president of everybody, president-elect trump. aaron just him merle being in the military when you have a general you do not like. you have to respect the brink of general. very similar. you have to respect the presidency. because it is what makes our country so great and different from really every other country in the world. so i am hoping that he reconsiders as well. because like it or not, he is going to have to work with the president-elect to get the congress, the republican-controlled senate, and a lot of things are going to be happening. he could be on the outside or the inside trying to solve problems with not only his district, but his country. >> sandra: and then he saw the response on twitter, that is giving the left more ammunition to complain about his use of twitter into the way that he response to things like this. >> kennedy: today is martin luther king day, and one of the

few congressmen that i remember meeting as a child, my father took me to his office to meet him. cut to 2008 where he accused my father and sarah palin of being like george wallace and pushing segregation policy. he also attacked mitt romney when he was running. and making several claims against him as well. keeping a civil rights icon does not make you immune to political criticism, especially when you are a congressman. i find it beneath him in many ways. the rhetoric that we are using right now is very dangerous. i am so deeply saddened that this is where we are at that he cannot see the bigger picture that we all need to work together as americans. again, it is particularly harsh on this martin luther king day that this is what we are talking about. >> kennedy: you are echoing the sentiment that is saying that president obama should be asking democrats to grow up and step up. listen to this. >> we are preparing for the transfer of power, and we have

been working with president obama hand in glove. and i think that today, including the president should step up and get his people in line and tell them to grow up and accept the fact that they lost the election. >> harris: i see this as a collision of whether we are going to respect the past or the future. we are caught in this place. i think i need to have an adult conversation about appropriateness of time and words. and congressman lewis is free to express himself however he wants. if we all are as long as it harms no one. but the appropriateness of time and place for him makes me question not just his judgment on what he said, but his motive on what he said. it is it's really about bringing blacks or people of color forward into taking the past and making it useful in the present and in the future? or is it tearing down what the democrats hate right now because they lost in november? >> kennedy: denis dennis mcdonough, he believes that

freely elected president, he does however say that the concerns raised by lewis are not trivial, he says that the president-elect should reach out to the west and have a conversation, is that how they should go down? >> kennedy: i would not be surprised if that is how it goes down. in fact we have seen the president-elect do that with various people past foes, "the new york times," i would not be surprised at all. if representative lewis if calling this the pastor presidency, he is also saying that the constitution is a bastord document. that is how we elect have the event. and i think that rand paul actually sort of or echoed what megan said, he has a very impressive aaron important past. aarons as harris says, our history has to lighten the way to a better future. because of his past and the fact that he was bloodied in that summer marched, and nearly

beaten to death somewhat say, that does not mean that he is immune to present criticism. if you are going to go out and say that this is that presidency, i think it is fair for people to respond to that. >> harris: well, the legitimacy lies in the hands of the american people. they elected this president, we go forward with that, so what you tell your children if your leaders, particularly those of color do not want to go to the inauguration that half of the country voted for this president, we will move on. meanwhile, congressman lewis, among a growing number of democrats. i have the number in my hand who said is that they are skipping the inauguration. there are now 28 or more of them vowing to stay home or go do whatever it is they are going to go do including more than 20% of all california's representatives. one with constant democrats who said that he was going to go, now says i am not long -- no longer attending the event. it is time for him to start acting like president trump, not a undignified reality star.

i hope for better, but i will not hold my breath. five president-elect mike pence, a laugh from you, senator. saying that the time should be putting politics aside. watch out. >> i attended both of barack obama's inauguration's. born as a congressman and one is a cover girl. i believe that they are a moment. we should come together and come around that individual that has been elected to be president of the united states of america. >> harris: complicating this matter was the fact that the elected get on twitter. at this kind of bloodied verbally even more so. i first want to get your thoughts on that. then again i have this list. it is growing. >> scott: it will continue to grow. i have a couple of different thoughts on the whole twitter thing. it goes above what the mainstream media has been doing to them. i think that has not been appropriate or fair. his ability like past presidents of different terms and errors to

go directly to the people whether it is through radio, tv, and now twitter through the new social media outlets. that also being said i think sometimes he should not be swiping down. you should not be worrying about meryl streep, and a lot of these other things. because he is the president. he has a responsibility and an obligation not only to the people, but more importantly to himself. why waste time? i think there are more important battles to fight? >> harris: i wrote that down, swiping down. you know some of these people, right? the people, barbara lee of california, right? >> scott: i think it is sour grapes, self-serving. i agree with vice president elect pence. it is about history, tradition, what we do as americans. >> sandra: obviously not for the list we have in our hands. barbara lee saying i will not be celebrating inauguration, but

it's what stuck out to me, kurt schrader, and oregon representative saying i am not a trunk fan. i've never been impressed with him. i will not be attending the inauguration. >> scott: who cares? >> harris: your kids are not getting along in class, you do not have to go to the party, that is not what this is. >> sandra: these people represent more than the respective parties. ted lu from oregon and california, go to washington and represent the people who voted for you. it is not about to your personal likes and dislikes. and whether or not you like tweed. go to d.c. >> harris: what if this happened among people who felt like president obama did not represent their policies or their beliefs? i can only imagine. >> meghan: the thing i don't understand is why people have become so precious. politics is a bloodsport that you lose a lot. this election in particular.

but he bloodied for me, the one where my father lost, he still showed up with my mother and the rest of my family to watch president obama be sworn in. you have to buck up. this is opening new divides in the country. it is making it open and accessible to people to not find donald trump legitimate as a president. i find that very, very dangerous. i am so deeply disappointed in the maturity of the elected officials who are choosing not to attend. >> harris: it does not just wisconsin or california, it is ohio, oregon, unit new york. several representatives from different states who say that they will not be at the walking out of our democracy on friday. the transition of power. >> scott: and we can get their tickets. >> harris: oh, i wonder if they would get those up? they are still framing them. and the leading days the inauguration, keep it here on the fox news channel, and on friday he will not want to miss a second. fox news channel will be bringing you this day like no

one else. tune in. just days ahead of the inauguration, tensions now between mr. trump and the intelligence community. the disagreement with the head of the cia. but to john brennan's head that has triggered a new round of controversy. and, more reflection from president obama. he contemplates his legacy with just a few days left in office. the regrets, he has only a few that he is taking with him and what they mean for his fellow democrats. stay with us. a heart attack doesn't care what you eat

♪ 's people are less than 100 hours before he takes august, mr. trump blessing soon to be john brennan, and to the incoming president does not have a full understanding of russia's third to the world. >> what i think he has to understand is that this is more

than being about him. and it is about the united states, the national security. he has to make sure that now he is going to have the opportunity to do something for a national security as opposed to talking and tweeting. he is going to have tremendous responsibility to make sure that the u.s. national security interests are protected and advance. >> meghan: president-elect from firing back on twitter, starting a fox news report, john brennan bless the cement, overly, can it do much worse. just look at "much worse - just look at syria (red line), crimea, ukraine and the build-up of russian nukes. not good! was this the leaker of fake news?" looking and unverified reports leaking to the press, saying that they are compromising information on him. and sean spicer saying that that leak does raise a lot of questions. >> i think there are a lot of questions as far as how that thing got out. and to the context in which it happen. so, i think that there are a lot

of issues. when you see somebody like john brennan go out and publicly attack the president-elect of the united states, the key issue that he has an unbelievable grasp on. it is disappointing. he once again, you have these people, make no mistake, one of the things that is interesting about this president-elect is that he is not going to step back. he is going to fight for america, he is going to fight to make sure that we have service around the globe. aaron's american workers are put first. >> meghan: u.s. senator, i'm going to go to give her spirit is so disheartening to see the breakdown between the president and the intelligence community. the only silver lining is that john brennan is on his way out. is there any hope of trust coming back between the two people? >> scott: director brennan, can print him, and clearly a rift between the intelligence community empty administration. i think you will find out more about the so-called leak and where it came from. do i think it came from him? no. but to have the direct or

threatening the president-elect about doing this, he cannot do this. he cannot tweet. with all due respect, he is the president-elect. he can do whatever he wants. he is going to get briefed. he is going to have the good people around him that are going to obviously raise the bar quite a bit. going a new and different direction where they trust the allies and for a sphere with the post. that is a new direction. it is not a the direction we ae in right now. >> meghan: not just a president questioning the community, i know people all the time they really don't know what to believe anymore. >> harris: we knew right after 9/11 that there was a lot of problem with people talking to each other among the agencies. there has been questions now, you know, we have been able to avoid some things, but some sur some tragedy still in the last few years, there are still those looming questions of how much better did that get? there've been a lot of questions all along that were healthy to ask about the intelligence community. i don't know, i feel like they are in a safe space, nobody really wants to -- you know what

i mean? you do not want to go after the intel community, because you need them. >> scott: you need them, but you have snowed in really challenging, and i think helping dismantle, or he is a traitor. without that conversation, obviously the reissuance of the patriot act. so a lot of issues affecting the ability to be safe. also the ability as you are near show, you do a very well be -- all the time, you have your rights. not that only your second amendt rights committee but your first amendment rights. and living your life as a free american. there is a balance. i think with the new administration that he is able to be a hard charger. he is going to reestablish ties with the allies. it will be a different direction. it has been a comfortable direction between the intelligence community. that is going to change. >> meghan: you bring that up, i think the timing is very curious with chuck schumer, he

certainly knows a lot about u.s. intelligence having served in the senate for as many years as he has. basically threatening donald trump saying, don't poke the intel agencies, this is before the russian dossier was made public by buzzfeed. in all of the sudden we get the trove of information that day after day now seems even less legitimate than people were fearing when it came out. so, you have to wonder in the post snowden world, people have a skepticism about the state in the intelligence to over act. maybe on some level it is just a pipe it may that trust is not just john brennan on his way out with a little bit of sour grapes, politicizing of a position that should not be at all. maybe the foundational relationship has to be rebuilt. >> meghan: it will certainly be fascinating to watch, but deftly a breakdown. a complicated relationship between trump and the intelligence community. reportedly saying that they want to press out of the white house.

♪ >> kennedy: the white house press corps is pushing back on the terms team proposal to move them out of the white house briefing room. to this after a senior transition official tells "esquire," they are the opposition powdery. i want them out of the building. it incoming press secretary sean spicer walk that back on media buzz. >> the demand to cover donald trump, the excite is off the charts. we saw that at the press conference at trump tower over 600 members of the media attended right now the briefing

room in the white house it's 49 people. what we are doing is looking at spaces in the white house that will allow more journalistic cover. speak with the idea that you can involve more people, being more transparent, have more accessibility should be seen as a welcome change. >> sandra: meantime though white house correspondence saying the whca will fight to keep the briefing room and west wing access to administration open. we object to any move that would shield the president and his advisors from the scrutiny of an onside white house press corps. all right, so what do you make of that? the press corps acting as the opposition party? >> scott: you object strenuously. >> sandra: i said it reminds me of "a few good men." >> scott: i have been in that room as well, very small. and it has been there for quite a while. probably time to modernize it. so on the one hand i think the statement that the press corps

needs, he says, yes, yes, we will fight it. we want access. it is about access. it does about the ability for the press corps to leave that area and go walking up the steps to bother the president's press corps whenever they want. get information, poke them, prod them. and with all due respect, they have to earn that. they have to earn the right and the ability to do that. >> sandra: this will raise questions of transparency, another big change in the way that we see the white house. >> meghan: my take on the cyst that donald trump administration has a level of respect for different generalists that are outside the press corps. they clearly have a different level of respect for local journalists and people from different areas of the country as well. i like this. i like that this and lead club of 49 journalists who are deemed by whatever publication has being the smartest in the best, probably 90% being liberals who live in the white house, the washington bubble. i don't have a problem with different journalists have havg

different access to asked the press secretary questions. they probably just want to give up their seat or the room. >> sandra: they have said all along that things are going to be different. >> meghan: he said that on the couch last week. he talked about how some of the traditions, some of the protocol that they have in place, they are going to be rethinking that. i don't have a problem with that at all. i think that's fine, i do want to see transparency. and they understand that this administration, the incoming administration sees a lot of the people who traditionally covered traditional presidents as being openly hostile. this is such a nontraditional president-elect. and so things are going to change. you know, to make its point, i hope that they do have different types of journalists who come in. and i hope they show washington in a different way. if you have the same people living in the same place, surrounded by the same group of peers, how do you think it will come out? it's going to come out as it has before.

it is not business as usual, so yes, bring in a number of voices and a number of people. it is going to be a very different day. >> harris: to piggyback after that, sitting down for a long interview, we have some clips of that's what the times of london. how different some of the questions were, because i have it in front of me. i think that it is healthy to have that outside the bubble look at things. we learn what the first executive orders were going to be. and where exactly they will start, they will start on monday to strengthen the borders. he is going to tackle immigration purse. i am not saying that you can learn it from the people in the room, but sometimes they can be face pressed up against glass whatever the headline is, and not the broader aspect within the room. it is just an observation. >> scott: just to add to that, the reason that president-elect to trump won was because of his accessibility to the media, and hillary clinton was hiding, keeping the press corralled and not holding full press

conferences. they were all scripted. and donald trump is out there, twitter, everything. i think you will see a lot of that. >> harris: you are talking about the ropes with the hillary clinton campaign? some promises as he prepares his obamacare replacement. he says everyone will have coverage. it is not going to be the plan, it will be another plan. they will be beautifully covered. i do not want single-payer. what i do want is to be able to take care of people. he also vowed to force drug companies and negotiating directly with the governments on medicare and medicaid presses. he did not give any more specifics on this plan. by its kellyanne conway lead out more specifics. watch. >> those who have coverage will not be without coverage. we will get rid of that fallacy. basically that you are forced to buy the health care, pay attacks, pay a penalty. there will be savings accounts for people. and the ability to buy

health care across state lines. >> harris: meanwhile, thousands of democrats are holding rallies across america over the weekend, protesting the repealing of obamacare, and pushing to save the affordable care act. you come from a state where massachusetts originally, where you had something that as i understand, kind of looked like obamacare, or no? >> scott: we did not raise 18 new taxes, cut trillions of dollars, two different things pass the legislature, 198-2. being rammed through reconciliation in the u.s. senate. here is what i think needs to happen. i think rand paul nailed it. you're talking about health savings plans, access, talking about cross-border. and many religious plans that allow cross sharing. you have the ability to have cross-border, eliminating a lot of the mandate stopping creation and growth. you can only work x amount of hours or you get penalized.

i think it is going to unleash the ability for employers to rehire and reopen ploy all of those who rendered 28 hours, not covered. it will unleash a whole new era of -- we want to cover our kids. we want to provide care and coverage. in the things that people care about, pre-existing conditions, the big three. if you incorporate the three and alicia without competition, many different plans, lowered lower deductibles, lower costs, better plans. i think it is a win for everybody. >> harris: may be you and mr. trump have had this conversation a little bit? what has that been like? >> scott: he is always asking questions, what can we do? can we repeal us? and what we do, how does it work? it started in the senates, reconciliation, so you are seeing the process now. he is always wondering, one thing i have always liked about him, he has always asking questions. even about stuff that has

nothing to do with politics. whether it's about sports, life, families, and i really like that about him. he is going to rely on people like rand, i think others like ted cruz, the people who did not support them, they have a great opportunity. >> harris: how is he going to be judged on this? take the first hundred days for example, so he has to work day one, and that's going to be thee president-elect asking questions, he is going to be taking action, how does it work? >> scott: it think it is important. i agree once again. i'm not saying this so often, but you have to repeal it and replace it almost immediately. you cannot allow the political bloodsport in the process eat up the great ideas of this president-elect. >> harris: i get that, do think that the american people understand a certain a hour period. we will put something new on the table in less than an hour. >> scott: and ensure that they will have a task force ready to cover a lot of the folks that were in fact potentially falling

through the cracks. if there is an issue, obviously, that is where the senators and congressmen need to be there. if he needs to be a team effort. >> harris: millennials, jo said that this is hugely important because they are getting eaten up by the cost. >> meghan: speak to no one for e that i know, i am from arizona, no one i know in my age group in my life did not choose to take the penalty and staying -- instead of staying on obamacare. this is one of the main tendencies, i would debate the same immigration is how and why he got elected. policy wise. if he pulls this off in the first 100 days within the hour, he will silence probably the majority of critics that think he is not up for the job. i for one still want to see that devil in the details on this. we do not have the plan in front of us. but i'm fascinated that everyone including kellyanne conway are this confident that it will happen immediately. >> sandra: at the free market, all of those ingredients, those bode well for fixing the

health care system. if it fails, and we go to single-payer, you think health care is expensive now? as they said, -- speak worn my would be how do you measure success and what country do you measure it in? among those things that that te president-elect says he wants to do very first when he gets an office. president obama is reflecting on the democrats in election loss. he is saying that he was not able to transfer his personal popularity down ticket to his party. is he right? i'm sure the senator senator he thinking about that. or was mr. trump's victory a total rejection of mr. obama and his policy? stay close. when a cold calls...

achoo! ...answer it. with zicam cold remedy. it shortens colds, so you get better, faster. colds are gonna call. answer them with zicam! zicam. get your better back. now in great tasting crystals.

>> meghan: president obama reflecting on the surprise victory during his final days in the oval office, the commander-in-chief saying that he took it somewhat personally saying that he may be imparted o blame. watch. >> it did speak to a problem that we saw during the course of my presidency, which was that i had trouble transferring my personal popularity or support to the broader cause of cratic .

i think that is a legitimate criticism. >> meghan: during the eight years in office, democrats suffered a net loss of more than 1000 seats at the federal and state levels. he says that those numbers are just a matter of bad luck. so, this entire election, all of the failed policies, just a bunch of bad luck, right? >> scott: just a bunch of bad luck, it is president obama, black lives matter, it has gone so far left that they lost all the mid-america, the union democrats, and the policies were just out of touch of mainstream america. he says, you know, i cannot transfer my popularity. he is a nice man. a good family man. he believes what he believes. but it is not what other people in america believe when you are talking about obviously ramming obamacare down people's throats, and a whole list of other things. that's also being said, he did run for a third term. he was rejected. three clinton was running on all of his policies. people rejected, that blue wall

is no longer blue. it is purple. >> harris: the problem for her is that she did not buy it and could not sell it. but for barack obama, when he talked about hope and change, it was interesting. i thought that was about the middle class. i guess i was deadly wrong. >> scott: yeah. >> harris: just looking at the policies that did not make a connection point with the poor and working-class, and now looking at wanting to blame hacking, everything else. i'm not saying we were hacked by russia and probably others too. we will find out more. by looking at that and blaming that for the loss of the democrats in november, that is just to say to those people again, that need the to help the most, i cannot hear you. how long can you say that? >> meghan: how can you make the distinction? i don't know how he has the audacity, as it work? personality is more important in policy, because the american people have roundly, soundly rejected the policy. >> harris: this week it is hooked personality that failed

him. >> kennedy: but he just come and translate it. somehow that as a legitimate criticism. what kind of person says, i am so great, i am so fantastic and wonderful, i am the best picture that -- pitcher in the mlb, but i am facing the bad knees. >> scott: you are not talking about the red sox, are you? >> sandra: you brought up that number, meghan. losing the post of the presidency, the real number is 1042. can you really blame that merely on him not being able to transfer? >> kennedy: that is bad luck? >> meghan: i think he has always lived in this conclusion -- cocoon of delusion, who he is as a president, he was so concerned with culture issues, and he led to foreign policy go completely by the wayside, that is not how people vote anymore. >> kennedy: speaking of

cocoon, look at the movie. it was bernie sanders who ignited the young. he had been swimming in a pool of magical rocks. >> harris: we talked about it on friday, look at where senator sanders is right now. he is actually talking about where obamacare might be going next. and what he could possibly agree to our nods. i'm not really hearing that from the other democrats. again, am i wrong about that? >> scott: they have an amazing opportunity to get things done, when i first got there, the republicans and some democrats brought over all, 400 amendments. they could've fixed it. they had every opportunity. so when they say, oh, we want to fix it. it does all lip service. they could have destroyed the whole thing. so, they chose not to do anything. and harry reid, nancy posey were not allowed to get their two points together. that's why you have obamacare as it stands. taking with the super majority, and we had many opportunities. we spent a month on amendments, they did not pass. i find it so hypocritical.

meghan, your father will tell us this. they were to fix it. let's cut the crap. let's put the american people for us on these things. >> meghan: he will not take responsibility for anything. i still say he will be the most bitter ex-president ever. "saturday night live" doing its own version of the latest news conference. the trump team saying it was just a left-wing hit piece, we will debate next. >> thank you for coming, i like to start by answering the question on everyone's mind, yes, this is really life. this is really happening. january 20th, i donald jay term will become the 45th president of the united states. and then two months later, mike pence will become the 46. i finar big idaho potato truck. it's been touring the country telling folks about our heart healthy idaho potatoes, america's favorite potatoes,

and donating to local charities along the way. but now it's finally back home where it belongs. aw man. hey, wait up. where you goin'? here we go again.

before welcome back, "saturday night live" is back from its hiatus. and once again taking aim at president-elect donald trump, alec baldwin playing mr. trump at the news conference last wee week. >> obamacare is a disaster. i do have a replacement plan, okay. i just read about it this week. it does a terrific plan. it is called the affordable care act. [laughter]

>> that is the same thing as obamacare, and 20 people -- a 20 million people will lose their health insurance. >> listen, sweetheart. i'm about to be president. we are all going to die. >> kennedy: sean spicer is not impressed. >> "saturday night live" used to be funny, and it has gone from being funny to just bad. if somebody did this to the obama's, there will be outraged. and now it is sort of everyone laughing about on the left. it is not funny. it is inappropriate. i think it shows that "saturday night live" is going from being funny to just a left-wing hit piece. >> kennedy: president-elect to tweeting that nbc news is bad, but "saturday night live" is the worst of nbc. really, bad television. all right, senator brown, you have been the subject of a bit of tomfoolery and mockery on

"saturday night live." you have some first-hand experience. what do you think? >> scott: i think it was funnier, we were all talking off air. it was funny when they attack everybody. could just attack everybody, okay. attack, include, make fun of. i was made fun of three terms with john hamm and i thought it was an honor. >> harris: where are the pictures? >> meghan: oh, my god, that is you, senator. >> harris: you are wearing a pantsuit? >> scott: i would encourage you to go up. >> meghan: did you think that was funny? >> scott: you have to see it in context, yes. i have no problem attacking or making fun of people on an equal basis, but you would never see as sean referenced them going after president obama like they are trump. >> kennedy: do you think it has an extra edge because we all know alec baldwin's ultraleft

progressive leanings? >> meghan: i used to work there a million years ago, but darrell hammond did the trump in for like neck impersonation, you could really not tell the two people apart, i'm confused why they would trade him in person one and my impression a lot of a lot of peoples people's impress a subpar impersonation. i think political satire is important. i like all of it. i watch the sketch, because we had to prep for the show, very political. there are moments where they are attacking obamacare, and the person dressed up as a reporter asking them, you know, millions of people are going to die. and it is overtly political in no way that i have never seen price team do before. i think that is probably why people are taking it this way. i think they should stick to defending everyone -- offending everybody all the time, like "south park." i'm deeply disappointed in this. when i was at price team, it was not this type of show. >> kennedy: it was very

personal, i think that's what made it not funny. when you read the tweets or less, he is basically saying that alec baldwin is not doing a good child. he is not funny. he is not saying that he should it be depicting or making fun of the president-elect. i don't know. >> meghan: they are not as nuanced or clever as they have been in the past. >> harris: how are the ratings? i tend to see the public market is going to figure out what they have a taste for what they don't, i look at the president-elect, we know that he has expressed himself on twitter. i doubted that this really matters all that much in the big scheme of things. i think he has an inauguration coming up on friday. he has policies to roll in. so i think nbc will just have to take a hard look. is it working for them? >> meghan: they are getting everything they want with him tweeting. they are loving it. >> harris: why not respond? that is the foil.

>> meghan: the one thing i will say if i was advising him, still feel free to pass this along. you are giving them more attention, and they are somebody who loves attention. >> scott: you just talked about that. >> meghan: the show does not have any marquee comedians right now. you can't name any. >> harris: you take away the oxygen in the room. so, just go do the job. it won't really matter. >> meghan: they are going to be seen as the ratings going up and they will be seen as a resistance. if he becomes the president against the comedy show, giving them a lot more power. i would be very hesitant if i was donald trump right now. >> sandra: i think this still -- still the best is "south park." we will be right back. it's the phillips' lady! anyone ever have occasional constipation,diarrhea, gas or bloating? she does. she does. help defend against those digestive issues. take phillips' colon health probiotic caps daily with three types of good bacteria. 400 likes? wow!
