. >> lou dobbs is next. lou: good evening, the nation's radical left is in a tailspin. for past month, they have tried almost everybody, trying to delegitimize the president-elect's stunning victory, they tried to urge republican electors to abandon the electoral college, and switch their votes to hillary, they tried recounts in wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania. and every instance, resulted in failure. mr. trump today reaffirmed as winner in wisconsin. he defeated clinton by more than 22,000 votes, now comes allegation by obama cia that the russians hacked the election. how do you do that? think about it, hack the election. mr. trump, is considering it dismissive. cia conclusion does not appear to be product of specific new intelligence. obtains since the election. several american officials including some who read agency's briefing said some day it was analysis of what many believe is overwhelminoverwhelming issueovl evidence, that others feel does not support firm judgment that the russians put a thumb on the scale for mr. trump. and got their desired outcome. en

lou: amazing guilt. merkel and her party remain favored, they remain in popular opinion on open borders to be supported. those liberal left policies of merkel, that lead to the terrorist attacks, it not changing, they have not, until there is a recognition of what they have done ask what they must do it seems like a peculiar journey to take. >> it requires constitutional changes in germany law to let police do their job, and lets intelligence agencies do their job. angela merkel is not a leftist her party is a christian democratic party they are right of center, they screwed up the immigration policy, because of history, germany wants to be seen as a good guy nation. but now they have to fix it, and as we know, fixing it is really hard, i hear american conservatives making come an cause of far right party in europe, they are putin-funded american hating programs. >> that is about a lot more than immigration, and the neoliberal globalist, of and merkel is an important, flagpole, it is amazing we talk abou

lou: what do you think of. i think -- i mean, this devastated left in this country, is playing out its last nightmares, they are complaining about a president who is commander in chief, saying he' his damn intelligence briefing way he wants it what in the world is wrong with that? should he be some sort of a servile you know recipient of whatever the intelligence agencies wish to pass on to him. at a regular hour. >> his intelligence briefers, they did not show up, they refused to show up. think about it. if you are president, and in fact there was a hacking, who is to blame? who is the one who had ultimate responsibility to protect integrity of the election. it is very one calling for briefing, he request only get a document that is indicting of himself, either his failure to do his job or his statement that election was interferes or hacked. i guess we'll get a sheet of paper, that i don't know what it could say, it will have both naughty and nice on it, what we know is that there was no hacking. but there is

lou: we are now.'m pretty confident. >> my point is how pointless this entire conversation actually was with so much hysteria around it as if it would deal legitimate mechanism to block up trump shows you their desperation. >> it doesn't just show desperation shows denial as the denial that will keep that political desert for years to come because they are not -- they deserve it and they are not trying to -- lou: whatever. i like the fact that it's official. now the heck with it. loretta lynch is even acting nice saying she's sorry about that little link counter. >> she's only sorry she got caught. if it wasn't for that intrepid reporter in phoenix we might have never known about that meeting. >> or exactly right termite is that was by complete accident we even knew that. lou: that's a big deal. >> and look at you now. you have the lou dobbs show. i used to interview as the police commissioner in my town in law enforcement positions. the biggest measure was their ability to use good discretion. she's

lou: matt? no experience with him but i have been reading a lot about him and talking to people who do know him. he seems to have the perfect character that we need at this troubling time. over the last 8 years we have done a lot to embolden our enemies. i'm glad we'll have team in these positions that we'll make our enemies fear america again. lou: the people being considered for secretary of state, among the group rudy giuliani and john bolton stand out for me. there is so much gossip and rumors swirling. it's hard to sort out quaps going on. give us your judgment. >> after that romney dish and romney strange press conference. it looks like a mad dog at the department of defense and a lap doing at the state department. but i think rudy giuliani and john bolton. i think bolton would be an outstanding choice and giuliani would be a step up. mitt romney will not be seen as the president's close confidant overseas. lou: i don't think anyone will forget mad dog and lap dog. you labeled him and i do

lou: flying blind. a little history and if he will just a little well, a little contradictory evidence. a report by the government accountability institute reveals that the lame-duck president himself attended just about half of his intelligence briefings so he was fine -- flying blind about half the time from the moment he was sworn in. my next guest says president clinton also missed intelligence briefings while in office and joining us is ambassador former director of central intelligence adviser to president-elect trump. great to have you here. >> good to be with you. lou: i get that he is a duck but does president obama have any sense of his own absurdity and doing things like back? he's been doing a lot of it. >> i can't get inside of his head. it's much easier for me with terrorists and dictators. lou: the daily brief, let's go to that very quickly because we have a lot of ground to cover here. why would there be such an issue over making a decision you don't want to have repetition -- you want r

>> bell, i agree with you, lou.m a him dispointed with rudy giuliani because he is america's mayor. i remember 9/11 vividly and what incredible leadership he dispelled -- he displayed in our countries, one of the worst days in our country's history. that being said there are still other good candidates. they say now the exxon ceo is rising to the top and maybe selecting as secretary of state. that remains to be seen. lou: i'm a john bolton fan. i'm a john bolton guy. i wanted john bolton and rudy to be working together at state. i think it would be an amazing team. no one is more knowledgeable than ambassador boltonp and terrific person. there is a story here, i want to share very quickly. that is the, the consulting firm, advisory firm, that is rice, hadley, gates, there is a story around that rex tillerson's name was proffered by none other than than condoleeza rice. it gets a little tight in establishment terms, mike. your thoughts? >> but, lou, don't lose sight of the fact that folks like newt gingrich, rudy giu

lou: that's one way to look at it. you are make an excellent point. >> i think president obama is going to leave us a mess with russia, a mess with china. lou: he's leaving a mess everywhere. >> if you were leaving the white house and you were leaving the presidency would you take two weeks off? lou: he compounds the confounding, if you will, he has four weeks left, and he takes two of them for vacation and at the same time anownlss he wants to kick russia's -- announces he wants to kick russia's butt all of a sudden. >> i don't know about you guys, but the press conference when he does them have been horrible. today he opened up on talk radio again. then he blamed talk radio and he said people listened to the russians during elections because what guys like mark and i do all year long in talk radio is soften the battlefield for the fake news stories. go to hawaii and eat the snow cones and get out of here. >> he hasn't explained the russian hacking. hillary won every found against putin. why would he do it? lou: if he
