divisions among mr. trump's trus economic advisers that they they favor increased tradevor in restrictions.st joining us to talk about this is republican strategist jacktac burkman. always good to have you on the show. >> merry christmas guys.sh guy >> let me first start by m asking you whae t do you thinkhi about peter navarro and his qualifications to be in thisioni position. >> i think it's terrific.errifi. it's a great idea that trump th has all of these businessusiness people in the cabinet.len th that's really what's beens bee lacking with obama the last las eight years and i would say to t people even if you're --oue whether you're a democrat democ republican independent there'sne so much waist in the couryist ic right now and the waste is not i just obama it's built up overp e the last 50 years, it's reallyll time to have a business personer that can tighten the screws ther all the way around. arod. >> now when you also look at at carl icahn as well the two off these together navarro andar a icahn and you see trump has been pushing economic growthmicr what do you think we're goingu to see movingthin forwardorrd especially since they've beeny'b kind of outspoken

china. china. >> you're going to see a muchgo moreto aggressive u.s. in the te pacific. i think trump will build up up the u.s. navy that's numberbe one. i think trump will -- you'llou'l see more restrictive trade policies with china. chi i like the fact that donaldat d trump is keeping to his his campaign promises. pro he'll be tough on trade. tde he's bringing jobs back to thekt united states. i mean, it would have been b terrible and the media wouldould be blasting him right now ifg h he had already abandoned that. a what if he were showing signsngs that he was just going to be ane complete free trader and the the campaign was all just a russo ar i'm very glad he stuck to his guns. >> question for you here about mr. icahn. carl icahn will play a role inl selecting the next sec chairman but as you and i know k he doesn't have to divest anyes of his business in his many businesses. they've gone up in worssth sincn donald trump was elected.. don't you see down the roadhe some sort of conflict oft interest, a little, you know, insider information there.

there's morals then there's tre ethics then there's publictherel relations.relations. if we get to the point where wre we see these conflicts everywhere what we really willli be seeing is that major maj business people really can'trean serve in the cabinet.in t cabint you can take this as far as a you want. anybody way net worth of $10 million or more would be disqualified from governmentromn because they own this, thatha and the other and this that that and the other might be favored by the government at some point. gover the u.s. government todayt tod touches every form of industryy in the country sadly bfoutrm it does. >> all right let me ask youe asu real quick about the two bighe b appointments today, you want to talk about those. >> shawn spicer tapped as the press secretary. sectary. i know he has been around foror quite some time with the rnc. r. what do you think though giventu the fact that we know kno president-elect tru is veryct te much the, loves to tweet,o tweet loves to do what he wants to .o. does spicer have his work cut c out for

>> i'd love the transition asits you know but there's one problem with it.pr trump has -- trump doesn't want anybody around him whoim has any capacity to emerge as as some kind of minor media stariaa on their own.wn spicer you can look at himook he's not going to i'm merge in m that way. he had -- he could have chosen kimberly gil foil.oil. he had a lot of good choices. cs i would have picked one ofe those especially laura. i think s lhe would have beenld perfect but trump just can't stand anyone arot untrd him whoi a star other than himself. himsf spicer is a good solidd solid reliable choice.e. he's like a navy blue z youe can't go wrong with him but h b there's not a lot of upsidet ofe with him, either., either. >> all right. right jack, we always love havingalwa you on the show.you sho thanks for coming in. cg in. >> thank you guys.>>hank >> appreciate it.>> a >> next here, he compared compad donald trump to hitler and hisr opinion landed him on a listis of most liberal professors inssn the country.e unt the professor watch lit was litw compiled by a conservati

organization calling itselfti turning pointon c u.s.a. >> arthur kaplan professor atros nyu is the professor we'reor wee talking about. he joins us now via skype.ia spe thanks for joining us. u >> thanks for having me. m >> first and foremost what do you thinkemos about it? does it matter to you that you have h been placed on this list?ist? >> no, because i think the list is meant to intimidate orr bully and it's stupid.t's stupid the thing we have to do, if students feel pressured in thelu classroom argue for more free fe speech and debate and i among a any professor who wouldou squelch any opinion in class ion think we got to get students speak up to feelot t comfortabl. if they don't they should seeshs the professor privately.vately. if they still don't and they't t should see the dean andld s ultimately the presieedent of pe the university. speech. >> is that what it's moreat wha abitout that you feel somebody d thought perhaps you weret pe sensorring or not listening tost what they had to say perhaps pha people there supported trump tru do you feel that's whe

is really comingat from. >> well, when i get angry andt a it was over 18 months ago atgot trump when he was talkingaski about locking up muslims and building the wall none ofne o which he apparently is goingoi to do or he talked about immigrants bringing disease oria dump on women or making fun of the disabled, i said he was hit ler-like. he was doing things that were getting theng t atthiraction of white power groups and david dav duke and the american naziaz party. they were shootingshotin endorsements at him. him. you can criticize me and ime a don't think any student i'vedene ever had would say i tried tori squelch comment in class. css but to come back to the point te i don't want students making lists. i want students making arguments. >> let me jump forward to sortos of where we are today. t donald trump has been elected. t we're still seeing some of of those people. in fact i think k oftentimes the media has beenee criticized for giving thoseed fv folks you were talking about arl platform and a voice t

do you think or would your woulu still make that sameil comparison that you made aboutla donald trumphat calling him hitler-like today? tay >> no, he's tend to it down and i think maybe in response to some of those real concernson that you can't just, you know, sort of say, oh, mexicans are bad or diseased, slurring srring ethnic groups is hitler-like.iti you can't do that. racism is bad.cism is bad. i think he's pulled back somewhat. we're still going debate his policies but happily i think i k he's veered weigh from thered course he was on. >> really quick because we're running out of time here, anything that ycourouquick g oul look at and admire about the president-elect perhaps?elect p? >> great marketer. understands social media.edia. i think some of his h willingness to get out theres et and challenge accepted wisdomm whether it's on foreign policyy or business, all to the good. but, you know, i want to hear to that debated in the classroomssm and i'll come back to itt again.ai don't try to bully. bully

>> there you go. >> arguing is always good.ngwa get it out. get it out. thank you professor.rofessor. thanks for joining us. us. we appreciate it.ciate . >> thanks. >> there are news reportsre are tonight that donald trump t believes, you know, the people p he is picking to serve inve visible positions in his his administration shouldn't just js be qualified professionally,ion, they also need to look theook t part. pa >> oh, well, he was the apprentice on tv.n t looks are about a lot ofot o things in that world for himthaf but it's got a lot of peoplefeol talking tonight of course. fox5's tom fitzgeraldd joining us live outside thesi t trump hotel with more on this one. hey fitz. >> reporter: now, we'rere actually outside saint john's church. church do you know why we're here.ere. >> why fitz? fitz? >> reporter: every president psi since john adams has prayed inside this church and donald dl trump himself is going to do that on the morning of his inauguration. but you know there is that other owsaying, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that appears to be a factor now on o how donald trump is putting together his

all right. so, the story is this.his. that trump is lending aesthetics to his list ofs li things he does and does notoe n want on his cabinet nominees. you see some of them rightht there. general james mattis remarkeds a he resembles george patton. pato everybody remembers governorreme rick perry on "dancing with thery on stars." stars there are other factors in facts this as well. was senator bob corker of tennessee not chosen as secretary of state because he h may not have been tall enough? so, the word on this confirming that this is a factor comes from jason jason miller. he's a trump transitionitio spokesperson. this is what miller says. "presentation is very important because you're representing america, not onlynl on the national stage but also t on the international stage depending on your position"osit" so, we came down here to thee te white house and the question qut

should appearance, yours or anybody else's, be a factor when a president-elect of the t united states is choosing hisisn cabinet? here's what folks had to say. apparently they didn't have too much to say at all because u that wasn't what you heard.n't y this is what we heard. hrd >> okay what was it. o >> reporter: person afterkater: person after person said no.d >> yeah. >> reporter: appearance should not be a factor.eportectr >> it shouldn't. >> reporter: we said to them, well, listen, whatepor ifi somebody shows up in dirty dir jeans and a t-shirt and messed s up hair and they haven'tand thev shaved in a couple of deays, ofy should they be the secretary sey of state, and the guy that youuu just saw standing still therere and not talking at all he said listen, if they're a good goo diplomat, that's all i need so apparently that would make meakm qualifie

state at least on saturdaysaturs and sundays ondo either one of those.th >> fitz you always look good.u i don't think this is aalways surprise at all. ln't thrprise if we remember at back to theot campaign season, donald trump tu said things about people's appearance, their personalnal appearances.appe this has been nothing new. bnot. in fact for years.foars. so, i'm not surprised to hear ha this. >> reporter: this goes rightsig back to almost the very startta of the trump ascendensy. carly fiorina was one of thef t first. i got to imagine that firstfirs cabinet meeting when they'rehenh all sitting around that tablehab over in the west wing andwing ad they're all looking at each other sizing each other upziac about who looks like what. wha i mean -- mn >> as long as -- they get the job done.job d >> reporter:
