but not everybody, chris, john fetterman made a very interesting comment on with bret baier just a shorthile ago. watch. >> there's a lot of talk about greenland, for example. now, and i know a lot -- there is a lot of freakouts and, of course, i would never support taking it by force, but i do think it's -- i do think it's a responsible conversation if they were open to acquiring it. you know, whether just buying it outright. >> laura: chris, what is the beef with this from the left and also from the old, you know, republican guard? >> you know, you heard a lot during trump's last administration that this is not normal howls and she cans from f anybody that didn't have history soundbites paying attention. if was shocking to see reporters ohio personally knew did not know what nato stood for explain the strategic importance of nato and how men is spent and how negotiations ought to go. i knew they had just wikipediaed it that day these are the same people explaining it now. i think that ben is right. trump's foreign policy is don't come in my yard. don't even throw your ball in my yard.

earlier this morning, bret baier told us to expect 150 executive orders on day one of the trump presidencyre you expecting on day one in these executive orders on energy? >> well, we're looking for some positive developments. certainly, what the biden administration has done, stuart, you know very well, has been nothing short of crushing to united states energy production from natural gas to oil, to nuclear, from high levels of new taxes, methane standards, just sending ripples throughout the independent. they've killed, along with killing production, they killed future investment and you should know they put a pause on lng exports, so that's just a short list of what the president can do to revive and create a path for domination of united states energy and at the same time -- stuart: i'm sorry. are we going to get all of that on day one through executive orders? >> well it's up to the president. over the course of, i'd say, a few days and then of course we'll be looking to codify some of that over time, through legislation, and cra's and anything that's necessary, but look. what the bide

the wall with us, and he can help us understand -- qhar the santa ana winds i mentioned this earlier bretpecial report" i found it instructive help us understand what's happening in southern california tell us about the santa ana winds which don't start in california. >> no they don't in the middle one jump on back. but as we see a repeat there there's a big high pressure system over the winter sits over the desert you're talking about nevada, already really dry type of air. it runs to the low pressure system that is off the coast of california. and that's when it starts to run over the mountains so you're talking about already dry air when you see that quick change in elevation it compressing air that heats it up so all of the speeds it up. so all of a sudden you're talking about almost a blow drier and then even as you get closer to the coast, you start to get in the canyon and that's similar to just step in between buildings right. that wind starts to get funneled and you're really talking about warm, dry air that's blowing on top of the fires that's going to spread this really rapidly

joining us now is jonathan gilliam, former fbi special agent bret sadler, senior fellow at the heritage foundation, former pentagon official and charles marino former dhs senior adviser. it's kind of amazing to watch all of this and watch the reaction from the officials after they -- the fact. it does seem like authorities were completely caught off guard here and unprepared for this. i think complacency is the word that just as shocking to watch these people walk down the same road that this happened last night. and not even give it a -- two nights ago. not even give it a second thought. to say me, that's very alarming. but, i think you're hitting on something here is that law enforcement and city officials around the country have failed to evolve as the attackers evolve their tactics. these truck attacks have been talked about and used by isis since 2010 when they wrote an article about how efficient they are. i think -- and it's one of the easiest things to guard against. and i think what we saw in the press conference there in new orleans, is a sign of the incompetence. and i'm not
