4:22 pm
kim yun un who sbround surrounded by fans and no one is going to tell him the truth, how do you step him from delivering a nuclear weapon to seattle. how do you stop him from doing that. you can punish him afterward what you can stop him from doing it. >> as you pointed out, the president-elect, has tweeted out the notice about north korea is about a year awa interest having this and he tweeted by saying that's not going to happen. he will confer with his generals. you don't do it by em bolding a country like iran which put the rest of the world in direct
4:23 pm
risk, that's why democratic senators were against the iran deal. the idea that we have been questioning north korea's is rich. lost the election and a guy who is going to be tougher on these issue the donald trump won the election. we you end like the plan, it puts them off in terms of their availability to develop a weapon. what would serve that purpose if you don't have a worldwide sanctions against them with the chinese cutting them off from any economic life, what do you do to stop them. you squeeze them and squeeze
4:24 pm
them, then what do you do in. >> you have so much money now and they are funding groups like hes ba la. the world is a dangerous place. we're not going to make foreign policy on your show tonight, this is a part of the obama legacy and i would be curious to see what the president will say in his farewell address. when you say the world is a dangerous place it didn't just happen. it's because of a lot of action and inaction and the fact that president-elect trump through his media platform is telling 44 million people on twitter, facebook and instagram combined
4:25 pm
that he intend to stop it and he will. >> i think that is wa a concern before he did it. he focus on the biggest concern we have. you say you don't want to make policy. he setting a different tone from obama with regard to russia and the allegation of russia's hacking into the campaign. let's start with that. here we go. >> it's interesting once they hack, if you don't catch them in the act you're not going to catch them. they have no idea who it is. it could be somebody sitting in a bed some place. it could be russia, i done tli it is. they don't know. and i don't know. >> last week the president-elect said we should move on. let's watch that. >> i think we ought to move on with our lives.
4:26 pm
computer has made it where no one knows exactly what's going on. we have a lot of other things, i'm not sure we have the security we need. >> donald trump suggested there's information out there that hasn't been revealed that could change the hole situation. >> i know a lot about hacking and it's a hard thing to prove and it could be somebody else. i know things other people don't know. so they cannot be sure of this situation. >> what do you know that other people doesn't know. you'll find out tuesday oar wednesday. >> is that still a -- >> the president-elect in addition to the comments he made, he has agreed to have an sbels briefing and he will have that here at trump tower this week and he will hear from our top intelligence officials it is
4:27 pm
expected what they know. >> what does he know? >> he knows that every president, who have intelligence briefs i hope they know a lot more than the rest of us know because they should. they are the president and commander, president of the united states and commander in chief. we don't want politics to interfere with intelligence. we are say we don't want intelligence to interfere with our -- to play into our intelligence efforts either. the fact is i think those who are talking about the hacking, they fall into two categories one the content of the information revealed. calling chelsea clinton a spoiled brat, a lot of unfor
4:28 pm
theble -- it waebt the intelligence it's what you just described now, the political sizing of the intelligence who never had briefing and the cia but dick chaney went after the -- george w. bush they lied they put the word out, they didn't have a basis. we have guy on the show say he briefed dick chaney but it was a good way to get us into the war. >> in fairness to
4:29 pm
president-elect trump he has been criminal of the iraq war. he is criminal. hillary clinton voted for it t. she ran down to the well and proudly cast her vote for it. president obama has said that he told vladimir putin to knock it over when it came to hacking. it's not clear he meant knock it off because you're going to interfere with the election or knock it off. you don't say to vladimir putin knock it off and think that he will. it doesn't make sense. people wonder why more wasn't done early was it because president obama and everything at the networks thought hillary clinton would win. is it democratic or political
4:30 pm
response. are we going to move our embassy to jerusalem? >> possibly. he would like to do it. the reason is very simple, when you show up at the israeli equivalent of our supreme court, you go to jerusalem. don't you want our embassy to be where the seat of government is. >> the iraq side is that jerusalem will be capitol of the new state. israel's exclusive territory and no u.s. has said that. it's a fact and it's going to cause trouble. when you say may happen, you're not sure it's going to happen.
4:31 pm
>> it's a priority for the president-elect, he has said it many times. his new ambassador to israel has said so. if there's no peace plan on the table and we're not close to have a peace process completed here, then why wouldn't we want our embassy there. >> because it would cause an explosion. it's a very dangerous things to do. >> i can't let that go about the explosiveness of the middle east. un resolution was a great was u.s. policy and certainly israeli policy. john kerry 72 minute speech was
4:32 pm
tyrant against israel. rejectionism why don't we have peace process, in other words this is a very complex issue but you're going to have a president there for probably eight years. we have one in eight days to do this on the way out to break with the long-standing policy is shameful. >> u.s. policy under both parties have been trying to find peace in palestine in that you are area to try to bring peace part of that has been two state solution by both parties to stop the settlements which cutoff the chance to have a political state. >> no one has succeeded and president obama didn't visit until beginning second term. >> it's politics.

4:39 pm
he wants to restore what he argue what is russia's historic sense of -- >> talk about that part. how is dumbing on us interrupting us, hacking us, how does that enhance russia? >> it's designed to degrade america's ability to project itself as united states has done as the indeexpenseble nation, you undermine the democratic institution, you run circle around barack obama, you world stage and pull down america's role. >> what does putin envy about the united states. there's something in his mind that resents our position in the

let me finish by filling you in where i've been with kathl n kathleen, thomas and caroline, two of our children. we've been to india traveling by
4:59 pm
rail, by a three-wheeled car known as a tucktuck and through the back water. there we are. a couple things about india. first, its long-rich history. the giants in the caves go back to 200 years before christ. the forts we toured to the time of the mogul empire. it's the huge number of people, of course, 1.2 billion. and the way they get along like in traffic, they actually know how to get around each other in these crowded scenes. it's the finesse they show in negotiating who goes first. they use their horns to toot, to signal each other, not to blast the other guy as a nerve rattling punishment like over here. i didn't see any road rage anywhere in india. another thing about india, i know we were only there two weeks, i couldn't help notice the dignity of the people, even the poor people. something about the way the indian people carry themselves, men and women both. i have a stronger, grander opinion of a country after i've
5:00 pm
seen where they come from. i like to see people all by themselves in the society built. if i were an immigrant to this country from india i'd be very proud of it. as for my family we couldn't have had a warmer, more generous welcome or adventurous look at that country and, by the way, the taj mahal is greater, more beautiful, more stunning as it stands before you than you can possibly imagine. built by a to honor his wife, it honors not just india but civilization and that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us.
