joining us now with more, congressman pete hoekstra. krystal ball is here.hat's all of the occur puck l? he's like he had a call with the leader of taiwan, ticked off china. to all of the americans at home sitting there thinking what cares. >> what's the big deal. >> who cares? what's the answer? >> this is a dramatic change in policy from what we have been doing since the '70s. he's coming in, shaking things up which of course he promised to do. but i think what's more troubling here is that it seemed reckless. it came out of the blue. his initial tweets were not to say we intended to do this all along. we know he hasn't been getting intelligence briefings. and so i think for a lot of americans, the majority of whom by the way didn't vote for donald trump, this plays into their fears that he's uninformed and reckless and putting americans in danger by these sort of provocative moves without thinking it through? >> what about that congressman hoekstra? do we call you congressman? you're not one that maintainsti? >> pete is fine. >> i'm going to go with that.

congressman pete hoekstra, a republican, the past chairman of the house intelligence committee. nice to have you back. >> very good to be with you. >> let me begin with trump's tweet. great move on delay by v. putin, i always knew he was very smart. why does the president-elect insist on praising a leader who we know has committed atrocities within his own country and across the world? >> well, i think he's just making a very clear statement and distinguishing between the behavior of the united states, of the president of the united states, that made a petty decision yesterday with the decision to expel 35 russians from the united states. he's saying the better behavior was modeled by president putin. >> what better behavior by hacking the u.s. election, annexing crimea, backing a stealth invasion of ukraine, violating negotiated u.s./russian nuclear weapons treaties? how is that model behavior? >> that's not model behavior but donald trump was talking specifically about the decision that putin made last night, this morninging, not to get into a tit for tat with president obama.

breaking news on russian hacking, with the former chairman of the house intelligence committee, pete hoekstra. thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> great to be with you. thank you. >> you're a former chairman of the house intelligence committee. i'm just curious, does it trouble you that donald trump has not accepted the intelligence community's assessment that russia was behind this election hacking, even before we get to how to retaliate or how the obama administration decides to retaliate? >> well, again, i think what you need to determine here is exactly what donald trump is saying, not accepting the intelligence community's assessment. the assessment has been in a number of different places. it's not clear exactly what they've said. but donald trump saying he does not believe that the influence of the russian hacking and the release of information, that that impacted the results of this election, that's probably -- >> with respect, congressman, donald trump has repeatedly disputed both before and after the election, that russia was behind the hacking, and he's done that since t

we'll have reaction from pete hoekstra and charity hurt. but we begin with white house kevin cork who is in honolulu with the president. >> reporter: good evening from hawaii. 72 hours, that's how long three dozen russian operatives have to get out of the u.s. they have been expelled by the obama administration at least in part in retaliation for alleged russian cyber hacking activity. president obama making a statement about his decision today and it reads in part, these actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the russian government and are a necessary and appropriate response to harm u.s. interest in violation of international norms of behavior. he went on to add this, these actions are not the sum total of our response to russia's aggressive activities. we'll continue to take a variety of actions at a time and place of our choosing, some of which will not be publicized. >> our bottom line is that what russia as been engaged in is unacceptable and the president is sending a message to tell them to cut it

. >> pete hoekstra is a former house intelligence chairman and former trump campaign national securityxton, a former cia officer and host of "the buck saxton" show. this attack exposed problems with germany's immigration system. what have we learned? >> what we've seen is there are a number of points at which this individual should have been detained and sent out of the country. the fact that you would have someone who is known to fraternize with jihadists, who has been caught on surveillance tapes talking about procuring weapons, was clearly a security risk, known to be a security risk but they couldn't deport him from the country because he lacked a passport from his country of origin just goes to show how inept the germ man immigration law is. i know they're overrun right now in germany in part because of to merkel policy to open doors to much of the refugee population come in from syria e" other places in the muslim world. because of that they're completely inundated with surveillance needs for known extremists all across the country. this is a security burden they can't really han

and the role that he's played in syria, and the alliance that he has with assad and iran, when pete hoekstra talks about allies, how does that line up? who are they? >> that's the allies we now are working with a few locations. the arab states and pete completely correct. we have been working with mike flynn joining donald trump on arab nato. we have to put together their own concepts for own defense, organize a success as pete says and then go after the safe havens all over the place. libya, iraq, syria, anywhere they're at and with that vladimir putin does share this interest regarding isis and about it. we cannot believe for a minute that somehow vladimir putin's going to be our ally. we have to look at the real nato and talked about doing, one of the things i know for a fact nato not used to counter the terror threat in europe. my first assignments in europe back in 1985 to do counter terrorism operations under nato. we have done this before. we have to figure out how to best organize those on our side and then rapidly aggressively set them forward in notimotion o after them in middle ea
