distinctly in the mix, mike pompeo is one of the names and so is robert o'brien, donald trump's last have maintained good relations throughout, so there's a possibility that he could be there. trump has had fractured relations with a lot of people who have been through his administration but there are possibilities including a senator from tennessee as well so we are going to have to see the shape of his administration and we will get a better idea over the next couple of days. i would not be surprised if he takes his time, to be honest. this has been a breakneck campaign and i suspect he is taking a moment and then it would be into the full business of readying himself and his team for government. within the next hour we _ team for government. within the next hour we are _ team for government. within the next hour we are expecting - team for government. within the next hour we are expecting to . next hour we are expecting to hear the first time on camera of the president at the white house, that is likely to be a moment? it house, that is likely to be a moment?— house, that is likel

go deep on what did trump do is president that last year, 2020 is national security advisor, robert o'brien, this took months for me to establish, came to trump on january 28 of that year, there was one case of the corona virus and the united states. >> and robert o'brien said, mr. president, the biggest threat to us national security. the national security of this country is going to be coronavirus. his deputy, matt pottinger, who had spent years so wall street journal reporter and china said to the president, this is going to be like the spanish flu pandemic in which 650,000 people killed. what did trump do? he ignored it. i was interviewing trump and found out what about this and say and shocking the information he had if he adjust shared with the public saying i was warned by some experts. let's do something about it. let's plan in the middle of that summer july 20, my last interview with him, if you will, bear with me again, i said mr. president, 140,000 people have died of the virus in your country you were warned. you ignored it now, as i've been asking him for months, what's your pl

are their names being floated r robert o'brien who has trumps former national security adviser and marco rubio, which senator from florida. he's very hawkish against china, but it's been for secretary of defense. mike rogers has been mentioned for the top job. he's a republican member of congress with a hawkish reputation. and unlike many and trumps world, a strong advocate of arming ukraine and increasing defense spending. trump, as also mentioned christopher miller, who worked under his last administration and was involved in project 2025. trump is announced that the united nations ambassador is elise, as the phonic staunchly pro israel republican representative from new york as another major pick. trump appointed his campaign co chairwoman. susie whiles his chief of staff, she'll control access to the president and helps of the administrative policy agenda. what all these people have in common besides right wing credentials is proven loyalty to trump. but the president elect faces ops, the goals and appointing diesel oil and gas for cabinet posts must be confirmed by the senate. which

. >> john: let's dig deeper with the ambassador and former national security advisor robert o'brien. hat is interesting to me, justice department is going after this guy asset farhad shakeri. this was directed by an official actually in tehran as part of the islamic revolutionary guard corps. yet the biden administration has taken no action or punished iran for a plot to kill the president-elect. >> no, john, thank you for having me. i can tell you these plots are very serious and that change her to the former president is serious. it is interesting when the attempted assassin or attempted assassin told them it would cost a lot of money there revolutionary guard official said that's okay we have plenty of money. where did that come from? $6 billion in hostage ransom the biden administration provided the iranians. they have plenty of money with sanction relate because we have not enforced sanctions. these plots are very real and i hope the president of the united states, president-elect joe former president of the united states is getting security detail as big as joe biden's with coas

robert o'brien might have stayed in the fold had he not admitted that biden won the 2020 election andtransition of power after trump lost. now donald trump has found the guy he wants to be the next national security advisor. republican congressman michael waltz, more than ready to compete in the olympics. he wants to rename an aircraft after him. he showed up outside a criminal trial to defend trump. he worked with other election denying republicans to try to overturn the results of the election. leading his hometown paper to pull back his endorsement of him, had no idea that waltz was not committed to democrat. in rare company, fox news host pete hegseth is to be the secretary of defense. he served at guantanamo and lobbied trump to pardon two u.s. service members accused of of war crime which trump did. >> i don't think i've washed my hands for ten years. really, i don't wash my hands. >> help me. oh, man. >> i inoculate myself. germs are not a real thing. i can't see them, therefore they're not real. >> gross. today trump tapped two of his favorite cheerleaders, musk and ramaswamy,

yeah, and i feel like robert o'brien would go back in stephen medation is talked about going back in the robert light. how's your are traded represent a go back to your character question for just a 2nd. look, it's important to me. it's one of these. i quit my job on january 6, he didn't live up to my expectations as a boss. my expectations for the boss, because i mean back it sounded like, oh, i mean the boss is what i mean, an attempt on the whole, those beyond not meet my expectations as a boss. no, no, stop. no, no. it's not that they're not, you know, you're putting words in my mouth. i never said i quit because we attempted to, i quit because he failed to live up to my expectations as the president. and he was my boss on that particular day. and as you know, some time when we were the person who was expectation, my expectation was that he respond much quicker. they did not take my phone calls during the day. i was trying to encourage him to go on television to tell people to go home. i felt like you had the ability to send those people home and i think that he acted too slowly.

ambassador robert o'brien former national security advisor. the secretary of state mike pompeo. senator marco rubio , another fellow floridian. if those folks are willing to come into government, i think he can put a pretty good team together. >> may i recommend for the holidays, as a breather, the -- "the restless wave" , your new novel. thank you. >> thanks, michael. >> you have time to vote, go to smerconish.com and answer the poll question . has donald trump changed america or revealed it? when you are there subscribed to the newsletter. you will get editorial cartoons like this from steve green. >>> there is where we stand as of now. interesting. i am going to leave this up for the rest of the day, vote if you have not. has donald trump changed america or revealed it ? 39,928 , now we are well beyond 40,000, 84% say he has revealed it. i am probably going to get hit with emails saying you are normalizing, you are saying washing , read the carlos lozano essay that inspired this poll question. he is saying wakeup the guy is a mere. if you look at the trends of the 80s, 90s, 2

. >> and someone did secure -- and this advisor robert o'brien who was followed by two middle eastern men in france. his security was yanked. and told several trump officials intervened to try to get them -- anyway, last question to you. >> -- if that's the tact they take -- endless war, there is no upside for anyone. they are finally starting to realize that. we are also talking about -- those phrases in united states. he has had an assassination attempt on his life, two of them. now you have this actionable intelligence where a man who is hiding in iran was working with his prison buddies when he was in prison in the u.s. to take out american citizens at the uranium regimes behest. these are not theoretical. these are actionable things going on every single day. yes, peace is much better. i think we will see more of that. >> answer your point, let us retire the phrase "fight to the death." probably a good thing to do. more "outnumbered" in just a moment. i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. thanks to skyrizi, i'm on my way with clearer skin. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% cle

not only that, someone like robert o'brien, former national security advisor, the white house yanked security detail. he was on an iranian assassination list, and it was the former secret service head that just yanked his security. as you think about this -- and we don't know who's behind this. the fbi say they're looking into it. do you trust that the fbi can get to the bottom of this? >> you know, i think they can find maybe the source because it had to be coordinated. when you have this many individuals that are threatened, threatened the same way, threatened with pro-palestinian packaging or rhetoric, i would say that it's going to be connected to a few or to a group. the fbi will be -- it will be really interesting how long it will take them to hunt it down, but they will find out. the bigger question now is what we do moving forward. we in congress are going to have to probably put extra money into the secret service to allow them to start protecting the nominees that are already put forth. and right now the secret service is protecting 32, maybe 33 at the time. and they're str

donald trump he was unfit to serve as president, and his first term national security adviser, robert o'brien have stayed in the fold, and now donald trump has found the guy he wants to be his next national security adviser, michael waltz, he showed up outside trump's criminal trial to defend the president's hush money arrangement with an adult film star, and he worked with other election tonight republicans to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election, leaving his hometown paper to detract the endorsement of him, we had no idea, had no way of knowing at the time that mike waltz was not committed to democracy. that is the man donald trump has picked to be his national security adviser and he finds himself in rare company, tonight trump announced that fox news has pete hegseth to be the first security of defense, he had some questionable reviews on personal hygiene.>> i don't think i've washed my hands for 10 years, really, i don't really wash my hands.>> somebody help me.>> germs are not a real thing, i can't see them, therefore they are not real.>> today trump picked elon musk and viv

we saw donald trump having his first term in office, starting with mike flynn, and ending with robert o'brien. obviously, two in the middle, mcmaster and bolton, that trump had fallen out with, including alton, who is now one of dalton's biggest critics. did not vote for him in the before election, but mike walz is a congressman from florida, he is an ardent defender of donald trump and is actually the first green beret to ever serve in congress. he is bringing that experience here to this position, so that will be something that is critical, as you are watching all of this takes place. i will say, he is someone who back to donald trump's efforts to overturn the election in 2020 but when you look at it from a foreign policy perspective, which is where he will weigh in on from the west wing office, he certainly has more of a mike pompeo sense of the world, then more of a jd vance america first kind of policy. that is obviously something that we will be watching closely as to which ideology wins out when trump is actually in office. >> how much influence does stephen milner expect to have , par

robert o'brien did work. have you talked to them?o having this position with the 47th president of the united states, who you know very well? >> i think some of the fundamental flaws, to be candid, brian, was that a number of people tried to conform president trump and his style and his way of thinking to the system, to kind of the established, you know, policy-making process system. i think that's a completely wrong approach. his instincts are phenomenal as i have talked about publicly and even in my book. and then you conform the inner agency to execute on those instincts and on his broader strategic intent. everything from the border to reemphasizing the western memo miss fear. the competition with china, burden sharing from our allies. focusing more on iran as the driver of stability in the middle east and pressuring them, rather than our great ally israel. those are the broader contours of his foreign policy. and i can tell you with this team, you don't have anybody on the team thinking they know better than him or want to under

. >> and i would add one more, robert o'brien, who was trump's national security adviser.ally highly qualified people who have been loyal to trump the whole time. will: all right. byron york, we'll be watching this. it'll be fascinating to see. obviously, the personal relationships are huge as i keep suggesting and i understand that, but i also will be fascinated to watch who represents a shift in policy or approach to the world in many of these positions as trump makes his selections. all right. byron joshing -- york, thanks for your time this morning. >> thank you, will. will: potential setback for the ceasefire talks between israel and hamas as qatar pulls out of mediation. medical of honor winner david bell viaen on what this means for the war in the middle east. hey little bear bear. ♪ ♪ ♪ i'm gonna love you forever ♪ ♪ ♪ c'mon, bear. ♪ ♪ ♪ you don't...you don't have to worry... ♪ ♪ be by your side... i'll be there... ♪ ♪ with my arms wrapped around... ♪ before taking breztri for my copd, i had bad days. days ruined by flare-ups (cough) that could permanently damage m

and michael waltz, national security advisor, previously held by robert o'brien. and then marco rubio expected to be named secretary of state. could always change. these three picks signal to me reembrace of trump -- there are no new wars. its peace through strength, traditional conservatism. it's also america first does not mean america alone. the importance of alliances. all of these people understand the key trump doctrines. >> they demonstrated a level of seriousness and a level of confidence that i think was missing from the first couple of years of the trump administration. he was new to washington. he was relying on other people for their advice and who to choose. these show that he knows who's on his team and is very serious about picking out a clear agenda. i almost wonder if looking back in the next couple of years, we are going to look back and think maybe it was a good thing he didn't return to the white house in 2020. think about if he had stayed there. he would have inherited a democratic-controlled congress, a covid-addled economy, and most importan

robert o'brien might have stayed in the fold if he had not admitted that biden won the 2020 electionooth transition of power in the weeks after trump lost. and now donald trump has found the guy he wants to be his next security advisor, republican mike waltz. he cosponsored a bill to rename dulles airport after donald trump. he showed up outside trump's criminal trial to defend his hush money arrangement, and worked with other election denying republicans to try and overturn the results of the 2020 election leading its hometown paper to retract their endorsement of them saying they had no idea at the time he was not committed to democracy. so that's the man donald trump has picked to be his national security advisor, and he find himself in rare company. tonight trump announced fox news host pete hegseth is his pick for defense secretary. he lobbied to pardon two service members accused of war crimes, which trump did. he also has some questionable views on personal hygiene. >> i don't think i've washed my hands for ten years. really, i don't really wash my hands ever. >> help me! >> i

his partners with our good friend robert o'brien, as well, security firm. do you expect the israeli cabinet, do you expect the israeli cabinet will except the cease-fire proposal? >> thanks for having me again, john. i would expect if the prime minister is putting it forward it will be approved this evening. my sense is there is a reason this happens now, the timing of this is important. yes, obviously israel has conducted an extraordinary campaign to decapitate hezbollah at every level of its leadership. but i don't think we should underestimate the impact of 55 days until donald trump takes the oath of office again. i don't think that is a coincidence. i think it is similar to 1980, where you saw iran releasing our hostages right before ronald reagan took the oath of office. because they understood then that the air of american weakness was ending. seeing a similar idea make today were ron, hezbollah, hamas, understand the window to avoid e through strength policies is ending rapidly. they are going to calibrate their behavior accordingly and israelis kno

and you're looking at robert o'brien who was his former -- one of his former national security advisers. for secretary of defense. there's a congressman from florida here who we saw on the campaign trail a lot for donald trump in the last months. but also was a frequent tv -- someone who was frequently aparke on tv on behalf of donald trump's candidacy and that's congressman mike waltz. mike pompeo could still potentially be involved as a potential secretary of defense. we are told here, our team, that senator tom cotton has taken his name out of the running to head the pentagon. and if you look over at the attorney general, that is where there is going to be a lot of conversation taking place over who exactly donald trump will not only trust in that role but also somebody who would be able to go forward with the jeffrey clark-like kind of mindset of what the doj should be in taking direct instructions from donald trump. you see it marc paoletta. john ratcliffe potentially. but also i am just told just in the last few minutes along with our hallie jackson that matt whitaker is also a na
