americans want the incoming president to have his national and economic security teams in place to get to work. they want us to work together across the aisle to get this done. that's what republicans did in 2009. it's what we're doing now and it's what we invite our democratic friends to join us in getting accomplished. now, mr. president, on a different matter, families across the country have been hurt by obamacare's rising costs and limited choices. and we continue to hear the stories from constituents back home. my own home state of kentucky was once championed as a success story by obamacare's supporters. that's hardly the case today. too many kentuckians are watching their insurance premiums grow higher and higher. they're struggling to meet deductibles so high that their insurance is almost useless. they're watching their friends and neighbors lose their plans or access to family doctors. and they sit around the kitchen table and try to budget for their family's future. they know one thing for sure. the promises of obamacare have failed them. obamacare promised lower costs but

a security team is now reviewing the incident. it was business as usual inside parts of west field wheaton mall tuesday afternoon despite not one but two people barely alive after being stabbed on first floor. both ultimately died and by all accounts during the attack and after the mall remained on. >> that's private property. i don't know what the protocol may be. if they want our advice we'll certainly give it to them. i don't know that this thing happened at 3:15 i don't think they were trying to evacuate people at 4:45. >> at 5:17 tuesday west field wheaton map tweel the the earlier today an incident was handled by npd news and we thank them for responding to the matter. there was no word if shopper parts of mall and in fact we asked mall security live on the care. >> excuse me you're live on "fox" d.c. is the mall opened or close. >> i cannot give that information. >> that's the information we're getting now tony that they cannot give us information.

realize this was a foreign policy question, but you're going to be part of the national security and foreign policy team. and let me say that one of my greatest concerns with regard to our failure to veto this resolution and therefore to let it be adopted by the u.n. security council is that people will argue that this establishes international law, and somehow this congress and this new administration are going to have to send the signal that we do not recognize that with regard to the israeli presence in certain sections of jerusalem, that we do not recognize that resolution as international law, and we are in a tough position there. if you would like to comment on that, i would be glad to hear your thoughts, sir. >> sir, i think ultimately we're going to have to promote peace between the palestinian and the israeli authorities there. and that's going to take time to build that kind of trust. and we should be a partner in trying to build that resolution between those people. wh >> when one speaks of israel maintaining its qualitative military edge over neighbors in the region, what does that mean to y

a source close to the mall security team would only describe stabbing aftermath as fluid.urveillance cameras were rolling before, during and after the fatal astabbings. >> before the stabbings there was a conflict between the suspect and two of the victims and two victims that did succumb to injuries the two victims that were stabbed and a short lime later the suspect, the two victims, and two other subjects basically met maybe by happenstance and again in the lower level ofth to police and the same cameras reportedly caught the suspect taking off. we've seen altercations in our malls before. on january 25, 2014 columbia mall a gunman walked into a clothing store and fired shots killing two employees. and just last may, montgomery mall was the scene in a series of sporadic shootings by a former federal law enforcement officer. >> reporter: and now this incident here will undoubtedly raise awareness for the security team at west field wheaton mall. we're told they're coming over surveillance video and imannuals to see exactly what happened and make sure it doesn't happen ag

what they told the house is, if you want to stand up president trump's national security team on daye next week, you have to give him this waiver. then the senate can vote on him for confirmation next week. we've gotten a lot of signals from democrats and republicans they intend to support his confirmation to be the next secretary of defense. the issue is whether he's been a civilian long enough and whether or not you want to give that waiver. so some democrats in the house said they would love to have him come before the house armed services committee hearing to talk about his vision in terms of civilian leadership of the pentagon. a lot of republicans are making the case there's not the time. it's a dangerous world out there and they would like to stand up the new president's national security team off the bat. >> shepard: they're doing that. the vote is in. they needed 218 total votes. they're up to 244. 24 democrats voting with the republicans. one republican thus far voting with the democrats in the nays. so that's the mattis vote. i want to wrap up this healthcare thing. had th

you had a story of the difficulty in the transition to the national security team. it's not true. mike flynn and k.t. mcfarland are so first class. president obama and his team have been terrific with us, transition of all the pieces, first class. i think these men rise above all the rhetoric. president obama has compassion for what president-elect trump is going to encompass and incur. i think president-elect trump has great gratitude and admiration for president obama as he moves on to the next phase of his life. >> after he's inaugurated, the parade down pennsylvania avenue. chris and i will be covering it. will mr. trump be staying in his car, getting out -- >> if it were left to him, he'd be jogging the 1.5 miles. >> maybe he won't be in the car. have you talked about that? >> it will be a surprise. before the parade, he goes into the capitol, into the white house -- senator blunt, the capital provision, has done an amazing job. at that point in time, depending on what happens, he may sign in the first part of his cabinet, depending what happens on this want bantering back and

tell us how what the president t said about this controversy is sitting with his own national security team. >> president obama's final news conference, the first question was about chelsea manning. >> i feel very comfortable that justice has been served. >> mr. obama said he focused on manning's case and not the larger issue of wikileaks and its founder julian assange brady concluded the 35 year sentence was excessive. >> she had served a significant amount of time. it makes sense to commute and not pardon her sentence. >> in 2010, then private bradley manning, who identifies now is chelsea, gave wikileaks documents and secret military reviews of guantanamo detainees, cables and war reports from afghanistan and iraq. ash carter and top army leaders advised the president against the move because a senior defense official said the leaks likely contributed to the rise of vices and accelerated the arab spring. after the afghan records were published, to intelligent sources said that the taliban went on a killing spree, murdering everyone who might be working for the u.s. government. experts sa

hearings are planned in the coming days for key members of the president-elect's national security team: exxon-mobil ceo rex tillerson to become secretary of state; general james mattis for defense secretary; general john kelly for homeland security secretary; congressman mike pompeo for cia director; and senator jeff sessions for attorney general. the senate calendar also includes hearings for former labor secretary elaine chao to become transportation secretary; businessman wilbur ross for commerce secretary; reform advocate betsy devos for education secretary; and doctor ben carson for secretary of housing and urban development. the senate's republican majority leader, mitch mcconnell of kentucky, said today the confirmation process should not slow down, and the democrats' procedural complaints stem from frustration over losing the election. >> we need to sort of grow up here and get past that. we need to have the president's national security team in place on day one, and papers are still coming in, and so i am optimistic we will be able to get up to seven nominees on day one just l

potentially jeopardizing donald trump's attempt to have his national security team in place on friday. press secretary sean spicer said that democrats aren't living up to the peaceful transition of power. >> this sends a bad signal to the rest of the world when you show that you want to slow down this kind of transfer of power. >> spicer said that despite the democrats actions, trump's administration with more than ready to take over, insisting the transition will be "the gold standard going forward." >> i don't plan to attend the inauguration. >> it won't be the gold standard in terms of unity. at least 66, more than one-third of the democratic house members, saying they will boycott friday's inauguration. leading the rush to the exits was georgia congressman john lewis. in an interview that aired today, trump said he would meet with louis, though he acknowledged it might be tense. pick off to a bad start, no question. what he did was a very, very bad thing. not for me. for me, it doesn't matter. he did a bad thing for the country. very, very divisive. >> and his inaugural address wh

. >> we're going to have deescalation teams, security teams, also teams of medics, just to respond, you know, with our own people, in case any situation arises. >> protestors say they will also block the security checkpoint and risk arrest to do so. there are also plans to crack the inaugural balls. more information can be found on our website. >>> former new york city mayor rudy giuliani is joining the pleacts's team as the leader of a cyber security committee. he said he will initiate the process of getting input from private sector leaders to address cyber security. giuliani was a surrogate and adviser. he had been reportedly under consideration for a variety of high-level jobs, including secretary of state. the inspector general of the justice department will look involving fbi director, james comey, and how he handled the probe of hillary clinton's e- mail practices. michael horowitz said his investigation will be wide ranging. and whether fbi or other justice department employees leaked information. >>> well, it's a close partnership. it began and lasted the entire eight years. pr

>> i think look, the president-elect is briefed by his security team, by the current security team, and intelligence community. i think he does know things. that's why he's the president-elect, he is informed of things that americans that aren't clear to get thation kno. i think what he is trying to get at is there is a degree of certainty to which this happens. this the report that everyone sees is taken as gospel truth right now is not even final. it's not supposed to be final idesed until later this week so there are questions why we're taking the actions we're taking and the proportion that we are without the report even being finalized. so it's not a question of if, the president-elect will be briefed by senior members of the intelligence community later this week and at that time be able to determine whether or not he believes that the response was proportional to the actions taken. >> is there a chance once he becomes president he reverses the obama administration's reaction to this hacking and allows the 35 diplomats back in the country? >> no, i think what's going to happen the

that is quite crucial, to have a national security team in place to ta ke national security team in placee overfrom day one. there has been some opposition to its choice for head of cia. it looks as if that appointment will be delayed until monday. there are other members of his team who he still has to get in place. he wanted at least seven of his key cabinet ministers approved by now. the democrats have put up a big fight in the confirmation committees, bringing up concerns over policy, at six, conflicts of interest so various, there is a bit of tension between republicans and the democrats about getting this cabinet up and running. the other thing to say is that there have been very few appointments at a lower tier. although mr trump has selected who he wants to serve in this cabinet, all 21 of them, the middle tier, the people who are very vital in carrying out policy and doing the ground work has... that level has been barely appointed. in the past day he has had to carry over around 50 people from the previous administration in key positions so they can be a smooth continuing of gov

would be great if the democrats would understand that particularly with regard to the national security team, the secretary of defense, cia, homeland security, it would make a lot of sense to have those folks in place on day one, and i hope we get to the point where that will be possible. >> thanks a lot. appreciate you coming up. >>> so you have the vice president elect. they flanked him there on capitol hill there today -- okay i'll continue on. talking about obamacare interesting to note the vice president elect echoing what he said earlier after meeting with members prior to number one to repeal and replace obamacare. also today was also the day that president obama was on the hill talking to democratic members saying essentially don't rescue republicans by helping you know pass replacement measures. one other thing i wanted to quickly note where senator mcconnell was saying senator schumer was -- certainecertain a block on, senator mcconnell was saying the same thing with regard to merit garland to put up on the supreme court. we were talking about president elect trump and his up comin
