pursuing the enemy to their source. whether that is cyber or transnational actors or people like kim jung un and the russians as you said in the lead, in estonia and all the nations in the northeast portion of europe. the threats are real and have been ignored for a long time that is why everything seems to be coming to a head. i would see the north korean peninsula is number one, the information war going back and forth and when you look at usama bin laden trying to unify the transnational actors, and trying to destroy the united states or united states property, pursuing them to the source, isis reconvening in libya and we have got all the drones going after that. there are threats everywhere we are fighting but the new

leadership in the middle east and demonstrate we are protecting our allies, israel, one of the longest standing allies in the region, not only a symbolic move but a real the diplomatically when you talk about diplomatic, information, military, economic, this is a diplomatic and informational element in the middle east where we are saying we are going to assert ourselves strongly in an area is very contentious. jillian: talking about what is going on overseas, isis threatens christmas in new york. next thing is new year's eve, a lot of people gathering in a lot of locations, do you feel we are prepared here at home? >> i think so because i have great confidence in law enforcement personnel despite

the machinations, upper levels of fbi and bureaucrats, at the lower levels, nypd and local police around the country, they are fantastic, go after threats, have great intelligence networks and they will protect us and the american people should be proud of the law enforcement personnel we have. jillian: you have a website to tell us about. >> the troops overseas, just go to a j tate and you can find it, get direct fire over the troops, i will send them over there. jillian: 18 after the hour, a white christmas turns into white out conditions for a major chunk of the country as you head back to work, we are tracking the latest.

world but a lot of countries probably do have healthy respect for israel that are scared about stirring the pot and all the anger this could stir up. what do you think onset. a lot of people decided not to vote on this resolution. >> the right way to approach this. sometimes we get countries to just sit on the sidelines but we have seen in the last 48 hours, 24 hours, is exactly this dynamic, people having to decide whether to continue posing the united states or where the president, ambassador haley, has been leading. one thing we have been seeing in the last 24 hours is arab leaders, saudi leaders, begin to

15-0, they were unanimous, went the way we wanted and -- >> especially the north korea one, to see everybody together on that, $285 million but more so it does represent something. do you think the un has any respect for the sovereignty of his real? >> no. no way to say but overwhelmingly hostile to the israelis. 70% to 85% of resolutions any given year that condemn countries are condemning israel. taking a step back on the minutia of this resolution, doesn't sound right that 80% of the condemnations targeting israel and the world where we know what is happening in syria and yemen and the iranians are steamrolling across the region, one of the things we are seeing

president than ever before. it will be stronger, more marches and resistance in 2018 and midterm elections coming up, we will season changes. rob: the resistance movement has been quite loud but how much actual logic is there in this movement? a lot of it is based on scare tactics the left has been driving as hard as it can. >> glad to hear kathy admit this is a silly movement. donald trump with a golf ball at mara lago on a roll and in 2018, the tax-cut the largest in american history, unemployment at a record 17 year low, wages coming up, christmas bonuses giving out over the weekend but i would not want to be on the opposition side of this. 2018 will be quite interesting,

showing democrats are angrier with the president than ever with the% of democrats don't trust this president. we have the independents who are so important against the president, a majority of the not happy with this president. if you don't have the independents and majority of democrats upset, the resistance movement is not going anywhere. any gop -- rob: level with me. i understand the asked about the president and the left is very threatened by this administration, did a step too far with some of the rhetoric especially in the tax plan, you thought the world would come to an end with the tax plan, it is a tax-cut, 91% of americans will have more money in their pocket. i don't know how they demonize this but didn't you think that was overboard? >> no. supposedly we are seeing it will add $1 trillion to the deficit, this is in the most wonderful tax plan, the only we have seen

him do for the economy, he is taking all credit for wonderful economy when in fact it was all of obama's policies that are still in place that are helping this economy. that trump would take credit for what is happening with the economy is still he and the tax plan hasn't played out. it could be more destructive than beneficial. >> critic 7 wrong every step of the way, the president coming up on his one year anniversary, the stock market, days of getting operate, 70 record days on the stock market, that will continue. rob: a an impressive list of accolades. 46 minutes after the hour, the season for returns, helping you read the fine print to make the most of all those beautiful unwanted gifts. achoo!
