larry: robert o'brien, speaking of panama canal, we weren't bui'm raising the topic. i don't understand why people are so -- even at "wall street journal," i was disappointed. china could close down -- china companies and china could close down the canal if they wanted to, they own both ends of it, they have big companies that run both ends of pacific and atlantic end, we have to revisit the panama canal story, don't we? >> absolutely. you made this point, people make fun of president trump, president trump is concerned about homeland about north america, and our security, greenland is our security to north. and south, panama canal, 70% of shipping that goes to u.s. ports to and from goes through the canal, we built the canal and ran it for many years, we turned to panamanians, terrific act of generosity by president carter, the rule is it had to day neutral. but put chinese on both ends that is not m w neutrality. >> final point, greg steube, the biggest picture, here is mr. trump, he is the transformative, a disrupter, america first, he is putting his stamp on forei

robert o'brien. thanks. appreciate it very much.ight, folks, coming up, it looks like it's all over for woke on wall street. or at least one can hope. finally. your money will be managed without woke. is that possible? anyway, we're going to talk about it with former federal reserve governor kevin warsh, who knows a thing or two right here on set. next up and remember, folks, kudlow is available as a podcast episodes every weekday right after the show on spotify, apple and fox business podcast.com. it's a non-woke podcast, if you must ask. morikawa on 18. he is really boxed in here. not a good spot for the comcast business, man. into the vending area. oh, not the fries. where's the ball? anybody see it? oh, wait. there it is. back into play and. oh, no, it's in the water. wait a minute. alligator. are you kidding me? you got to be kidding me. rolling towards the cup. and it's in the hole. what an impossible shot. brought to you by comcast business. the catastrophic los angeles wildfires inside the battle to contain the blaze, the ra

joining us, former national security advisor to donald trump robert o'brien. great to see you.r thoughts about public clashes so far and how this might be different from the last one. >> happy new year. i look at this, the person who will make the final decision on these issues is donald j trump, 45th and 47th president of the united states and president trump will bring these into the oval office and when i was national security advisor, i'm convinced mike waltz will do the same thing. one person to argue one side and one person to argue the other. trump would listen and asked insightful questions and the clash of these ideas to come up with the best solution and he would make a decision. i think it is a healthy debate. they all support america first and great results out of this debate. >> if i read mcmaster's book and many say it's one 100% accurate, is it kelly, mattis who didn't like the president asked they were undermining and doing their own thing. they were fully understanding to that elected. >> they also didn't agree with president trump's policies and he's about ame

senator mike lee, who took up robert o'brien's case trying to get his protection reinstated, says he was told the decision was based on, quote, a wide variety of circumstances, which the journal went on to list as human resources. budgetary limitations and the nature of the threat. but it's unclear why the threat would have been different for him and not the others. in the case of president trump, however, he's made a number of statements that indicate he's annoyed by bolton, and pompeo has noted he's repeatedly attacked both men. and interestingly, in his public comments about his decision to stop their security protection, he's not given any indication that the danger from iran has actually gone away. more now from cnn's chief washington correspondent and anchor of the source. kaitlan collins. is this about resources? does the president essentially seem to be suggesting, or is it personal? >> when you talk to white house officials, they're not even saying or fronting that this is about resources or any kind of budgetary issues. instead, it's very clear what is motivating this. and

robert o'brien a former national security advisor, good to have you here.bert. what can you tell us about this deal and whether or not this will eventually and fully go through? >> well, sandra, thank you for having me on. we have to figure out is hamas going to say yes? we have been at the threshold of the deal many, many times over the past year. every time hamas walks away from the deal. we will see if the pressure of president trump has brought on. the only reason there is a deal, let's be clear about this and i said antony blinken to acknowledge it, president trump said there would be hell to pay if the hostages were not released. that is why we may have a deal that we will see if hamas fulfills its part of the bargain. so far it has not that they have until sunday. i hope they do because that families are desperate for the hostages to get home. >> sandra: absolutely. you touched on it at that and credit for the deal and why we are so close and at the point where we are right now. i asked john kirby about that last night on fox. watch. >> the bottom li

well, let's bring in former national security adviser robert o'brien. it's an honor to speak with you, ambassador o'brien. you served as national security advisor. when i was working in the trump white house as press secretary, you did an excellent job, and i want our viewers to hear from you directly because as national security adviser, you advise the president to the panoply of national security threats we face and the options before him. and as you look at isis, 1500 to 3000 strong in syria, we believe so. they are somewhat decimated in number. do you fear isis today has regrown? is this a threat that you think jake sullivan is looking at as he lays out the options for president biden? >> well, kayleigh, it's great to be with you and thank you for those kind words. keep in mind, you know, the obama biden people called isis the jv team back before president trump came to office, and that jv team killed many americans, including kayla mueller and james foley and peter sotloff and others. so, you know, this is a very dangerous group of people. and we'v

when he fired john bolton, he brought on robert o'brien -- all i'm saying is this was a good thing, youw people who get hired were not qualified, we should call them out regardless of their race, call them out regardless of their gender, but i think sometimes, i think people have kind of overcorrected in some of their leg which around this -- and that's the only thing that concerns me about all of this. celebrate in the end of this is a good thing in some ways but i hope we are looking at this and the most favorable light. i would hate for is not to realize that before we had dei in affirmative action, we are not a merit-based society. lacks and women were discriminated against because of the fact they were blacks and women's -- >> judge jeanine: yumi before dei? >> harold: dei is a three or 4-year-old program, i said affirmative action -- >> judge jeanine: when did affirmative action come? what year was that? >> harold: ethic it was in the mid-60s, judge, so before that, remember, the company did not have a great -- >> greg: determination was outlawed. >> harold: discrimination was cod

i saw this a few days ago that trump's former national security advisor, robert o'brien, he tweeted, if our great ally denmark can't commit to defending the island, the u.s. will have to step in as potus, 47 said, referring to president elect donald trump. they are calling this a security issue and therefore laying the groundwork to say this is central to u.s. national security, and we're prepared to do whatever we need to do to get greater control there. so what does that mean? trump talks about buying. it doesn't seem like a realistic option, but would they put pressure on a u.s. treaty ally to allow a greater u.s. presence there? perhaps. but here's the other reality check, sarah. and that is that, as john bolton said, denmark has elected leaders, greenland has elected leaders, and the prime ministers of both greenland, which is a territory of denmark and denmark itself, have both said we're not interested in being bought by the united states, regardless of social media posts that trump has been sharing of 1 or 2 people in greenland with maga hats on, and neither is canada, for th
