a trump transition team statement says rudy guiliani was chosen for his expertise in private sector cybersecurity. the statement also says trump will hold meetings with corporate executives who have been targeted by the crime. guiliani's appointment follows allegations that russian hackers attempted to influence the u.s. election. donald trump says he believes the allegations. he calls cyber intrusion the fastest growing crime in the u.s. and much of the world. >>> roughly 3,500 u.s. army troops began entering poland last week. polish general said he's confident both troops will be able to carry out missions through joint exercises. next month u.s. units will fan out from powe laland and other nations. russia's presidential spokesperson said on thursday that these actions threaten russian interests and security. >>> people in northern japan are digging out and weather officials say more of the country will be affected. robert speta joins us now. some serious concerns and authorities have issued warnings. what's the latest? >> much of central and northern japan were continuing to see the heavy sno

rudy guiliani who helped him write it said they started with a muslim ban and then languaged it up to avoid that label. it is a religiously based ban which is something that -- our constitution says congress shall make no law establishing a religion or bridge free exercise there of. this is a violation of equal protection. it's a religiously based ban. they can ban muslims why can't they ban mormons why. not move into ethnic groups. >> dickerson: they have named countries already named on lists by the obama administration. if it was a muslim ban why not ban pakistan, turkey, egypt. none of those countries are affected ? >> according to reince priebus they're working on it that's what i heard him tell you. they may add more. the fact is terrorism, a horrible surge on the planet, comes from all kinds of places. somewhere the majority of the population is muslim some not. it even comes from within our country. the fact is we could not make a religious based distinction. we have to go based on the evidence that we find that people are actually engaged in. let me tell you. when you ban ref

. >> i want to get your reaction, david, to what rudy guiliani told fox news about the president's executivet is. >> when he first announced it, he said muslim ban. he called me up and said put a commission together, and said, show me the right way to do it legally. i put a commission together with judge muk azy, congressman mccall, pete king, a whole group of expert lawyers on this. what we did was, we focused on, instead of religion, danger. >> so david, does it sound like a muslim ban without calling it a muslim ban? i don't want to put thoughts in your head, but what did you get out of that? >> i took away from this that the president wanted to honor his pledge to have a muslim ban, and he wanted to find a legal way to do it, and rudy guiliani said this is the way to do it. but here's the thing about it. he talks about danger. the fact is that the u.s. has the most stringent screening already, and it's very, very difficult to come here as a refugee, as has been said ad nauseum. no refugees from the seven countries that have been named in this order have actually been involved in terroris

. >> shepard: >> shepard: rudie guiliani tapped as cyber security advisor. what do we know about this role? >> it doesn't have an official title. rudy guiliani isn't going to resign from corporate positions that he holds right now. but he is coming in on behalf of the administration to help beef up cyber security for american companies. and is apparently going to be somewhat high profile role. >> my belief is, as always, that the answer to cyber security is going to be found in the private sector that. 's where we have great creativity that,'s where we have the huge amount of money, and that's where we have great companies, the greatest in the world. the idea here is to bring together corporate leaders and their technological people. the president will meet with them on an ongoing basis as well as anybody else in the administration. >> and it was somewhat surprising to see guiliani's time on a transition team announcement about getting a job. he's famous for during the transition only wanting one position, in the trump white house, that was secretary of stat

the president elect tapped rudy guiliani who runs a security firm to advise him on fighting hacking, including russian hacking. fbi director james comey came up here to brief congress on today. i'm steve handlesman. >>> pennsylvania senator bob casey is making a push to provide businesswise moes with reasons to invest in promise zones. to funnel resources into those areas. camden and west philadelphia are among them. casey unveiled legislation that would give new tax credits for businesses that set up shop in promise zones. >>> switching gears, they say laughter is the best medicine. but this group might disagree. next at 5:00, the benefits of a little pet therapy. >>> and i'm tracking a major cooldown. temperatures for today were in the mid to upper 60s in and around philadelphia. we're seeing a cool down by friday into saturday and i'm tracking snow possibly, a wintry mix in the full forecast. >>> coming up new at 6:00, are grocery store prices -- grocery stores price gouging over the new tax. the allegations and how stores are firing back. >>> internet gambling is helping atlantic

this seems to have been in my common opinion as a former very tough prosecutor, used to work for rudy guilianiite house who seem to want drama. by yesterday evening, acting attorney general sally yates was instructing officials not to contest cases challenging trump's order. and she was promptly fired. white house staffer stephen miller went on fox news to defend her dismissal, but also to cast light on the broader concept behind trump immigration policies. how do we keep this country falling into the same trap as happened to places like germany and france. we have a permanent intergenerational problem of islamic radicalism that becomes a routine feature of life in those countries. a new normal. this afternoon, the homeland security secretary gave a robust defence of administration policy, but there were nods too towards the failure of coordination, a ragged and imperfect process that trump's appointees as they get a grip of their departments, will want to address. as you have more and more cabinet level officials confirmed and you start to seek deputy secretaries getting confirmed, there will

i think rudy guiliani's son. >> let's roll that tape. megan, find rule i guiliani swearing in ceremony mayor of new york sit. it will pop right up. andrew, goofing off, and his mom was a tv personality. >> i bet he got grounded after that. or even what about donald trump? president-elect donald trump. remember when he got elected and he did his acceptance speech and his son was sleeping? he couldn't help t he was tired. >> every now and then we go to charity events, and we auction off the ability to do the weather with sue serio. and we have another person, who has won that. >> so cool. >> sue? >> we will meet him in 15 seconds. >> oh, 15 seconds. >> 9:15, would love i to meet the rowsanio. family, mary jane, chris, and here is his father, ed. so, mary jane, tell us about chris? >> chris goes to springfield township high school, montgomery county in the learning school classroom. >> all right, so chris is a weather efficientato. loves to tell everybody what the weather is, but i want to find out before we do the weather, how did you get

rudy guiliani, jeff sessions, marsha blackburn, tom reed, represent a part of the vice chair team.express our appreciation on behalf of the president-elect for the many hours you've put in helping us assemble this day one team. we also express appreciation to the members of our committee who donated hundreds of hours in assisting us in preparing the recommendations to the president-elect over the course of this. lastly, just two more things to mention. number one is just to thank my team. there's an old saying that -- back in indiana, when you see a box turtle on a fence post, one thing you know for sure is they had help getting there. i can tell you that while it's been my privilege to chair this transition effort, the team that we've had around us and the extraordinary seven-day-a-week hours they've put in is to their credit. executive director rick dearborn has done a masterful job, extremely grateful for the energetic leadership of our incoming chief of staff reince priebus, incoming general counsel at the white house, don mcgahn, literally working almost round the clock in sup

rudy guiliani telling fox news trump consulted him and others. >> when he first announced it he said muslim ban, he called me up he said put a commission together, show me the right way to do it legally. >> reporter: while trump's order bans refugees, migrants and foreign nationals from seven mostly muslim countries the president points out that 40 different majority muslim countries worldwide are not affected. >> it's working out very nicely, you see it at the airports, you see it all over. >> reporter: a growing chorus of critics disagree. >> this executive order was mean spirited and unamerican. >> reporter: even some republicans are urging caution. >> we have an extreme vetting proposal that didn't get the vetting it should have had. >> i think we need to be careful. >> reporter: senators john mccain and lindsey graham slamming the move as a self inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism. trump accusing looking to start world war iii. the reaction worldwide was swift. canada's prime minister tweeting this photo welcoming a refugee said his country would take those banned by

rudy guiliani constructed something like this when he was mayor of new york, and he called them spies that he put in each agency. what do you make of that, susan? >> i think that's chilling. certainly at the agency that would be chilling. the agency' function is to give the president what he needs to hear, not what he wants to hear. so it will be interesting to see what happens when he gets an assessment that he completely disagrees with. does he shut the briefers out? do heads roll somewhere in the agency? >> and to you, cynthia, voice of america, which the united states has used to try to be a voice of legitimate facts and free thought and information in countries that don't have their own free press, trump is now appointing a new chief executive to that broadcasting board of governors. it's a thousand-person news operation fund by the taxpayers to the tune of $218.5 million. we're hearing that he's putting inexperienced people in there, idealog idealogues. do you find that concept at all disturbing,cynthia? >> absolutely. people around the world have reli o voice of america to give

president-elect trump announcing a new job for rudy guiliani. >> it's a cyber security advisory groupith private tech companies in there. so this is basically tightening the links between the trump administration and silicon valley. it was thought that peter thiel would take the lead here, but cyber security a big hot topic and rudy brings the litigation school. >> that's what he's going to do cyber security, or czar. liz: i don't know if rudy would like that. stuart: the unverified, unpublished report buzz feed from the gory details, disgusting detailsment trump was up responding to it. james clapper called me yesterday to denounce the false and fictitious report that was illegally circulated, made up, phony facts, too bad. all rise, napolitano is here. can the president-elect, or the president when he becomes president, sue a website for this? >> the short answer is yes, because anybody can sue anybody. the request he is does he want to do it? because the bar is so high for him to prevail and the burden on him during the litigation is so extraordinary because it would reexpose all o

. >> you see rudy guiliani and his wife walking in, the former new york city mayor.oing to have a role, he will be a cyber security adviser to the trump administration. >> he wanted to be secretary of state. >> exactly. >> didn't exactly work out for him. >> not exactly the kind of role that he wanted, to your point, jake, he wanted to be secretary of state, made that very clear, in a very unusual way, publicly. but i think there was a lot of concern about him getting confirmed. and therefore he wasn't given that job and other jobs didn't work out for him. i think this particular role might be well-suited for him, because it is his expertise, how he's made his money since he's left politics. go your point about the whole idea about the story, i love that you told about bill clinton and george w. bush in the car. >> this is bob dole, by the way, being he is escorted. >> bob dole, again, somebody who wished that at some point in his life he were up there putting his hand on the bible, taking the oath. he ran for president in 1996 and lost to bill clinton. but before th
