the country is skeptical about the people whose job it is to be skeptical. they don't like that we are skeptical. eliana johnson. the senior vice president at the center for american progress. this issue of institutions. we put them all up. >> what's remarkable is the schools. it's one thing to say that people don't like the media and congress. this election crystallized the frustration about the fact that the world has been changing drastically for the last 20 years and not only they not trust that institutions are there to help them navigate these changes, but they don't think they can do it. >> i feel like it's the c word. control or lack there of. the more lack of control people think they have, the more skeptical they are. >> it's a symptom of and a product of these things. there were institutions you didn't mention, but the financial crisis is there. >> they are there too. >> people lost trust in banks and big financial institutions and conservatives have lost trust in the supreme court. and obamacare and the gay marriage issue. the police i think a lo

trump is still skeptical the russians were even involved and whether it affected the election. you have the cia and fbi and a number of republicans saying it's clear the russians hacked. that's just as a basic premise is clear. mr. trump since late september has said he doesn't think that's the case and still says that now. what does he know that the intelligenc intelligence officers don't know? >> where is the proof and why did they refuse to meet last week and instead talking to the media. that undermines the national security and intelligence operations -- >> dickerson: does that suggest that's not the case? >> they received intelligence briefings i'm not privy too but if others at the top are serious about turning over evidence to we, the american people, they should do that and should show up in the house intelligence committee but that's a closed-door meeting. they should not be leaking to the media. if there's evidence let's see it. i would know president obama stopped short last week off what other pundits are saying and i'm sure they don't get intelligence briefings. w

what do you make of that skepticism? >> i think it's unfounded. glimpse of her face as i drove past her and she looked frantic and terrified when i saw her. i just, i do not believe that there's any reason to be skeptical of her story. she was out in very cold weather, not warm enough clothes and i just cannot imagine someone going to those kind of extreme lengths. >> christine, really quickly here, why then are authorities still apparently somewhat skeptical? >> i think that they have to look at that. i mean, with the description, the two hispanic women, number one, it's a very rare thing. she comes back on thanksgiving day. i mean, they have to rule out a lot of that because if you know at first, her husband when she disappeared or her husband was the prime suspect and so they have to look at people who are close. they looked at all the family members. they looked at her past. they looked at her ex-boyfriends and really tried to do a timeline on keith as well. they went to his best buy store to find out where he was. they searched the internet j

skepticism change, about climate change is not result of fake news. fake new system riding the train. skepticism comes from business interests that are don't want to e regulated in ways that would help stop climate change, create turning it into tribal issue for what fake newsnd does, finds tribal issues, finds that signal belief in particular ideology or tribeship in a particular and because social media the way media innews on social certain ways a way to perform our own identity and belonging when you , remember share article on facebook, it becomes attached to your you, about whole, you are when you share something. you start to share change, yourclimate attitude tells people something about who you are as a person, american, as a voter. you know, climate change in particular, i don't think there to fix that issue versus fixing the whole broken sort of system by which we distribute information. host: this is john, herndon, on with our are guest, max read. caller: good morning. taking my call.king my max, this is what just happened, there is a call

underway and the incoming administration will agree and disagree but it was a helpful exercise we were skeptical of at the beginning but the world looks different when you sit in the situation room with the predecessors and go through the fact. it's an exercise i would recommend we do in this case. >> dickerson: how does the president-elect take in new information that may be inconvenient because it puts a cloud over his election victory. david, speaking of facts and the way politics play a role the

on what basis is he skeptical -- skeptical of the assessment of 16 u.s.gence agencies and the acceptance of that assessment from republican members and leaders of congress who have been briefed on the intelligence? en. >> i love listening to what's going on now. all the folks that, you know, in the past have criticized the intelligence community are flow saying wow, these folks are infallible, how can you question them? i wish that would have been the response to the intelligence community said they saw in iraq in 2001 and 2002 in terms of their capability of the producing weapons of the mass destruction -- >> you are muddying the waters here. understandably. listen. they got wmd in iraq wrong. but let's be honest. you have seen where they have gotten things right on the intelligence committee. particularly in cyberhacking. they were able to identify individuals in china which the justice department charged individuals in china for hack cyberattacks in the u.s. they were able to identify north korea as being behind the sony hack which then carried consequ

there is a lot of skepticism over future profitability.s better next year, that is the upside case. guy: thank you very much indeed, michael moore. thank you for updating us on unicredit. to give you a further update, the press conference, the analyst called. the press conference has just kicked off. we will get a greater understanding from some of the unanswered questions. continue to follow it here. details,ring you the as well as on your bloomberg terminal, pltliv. plug that in. you will get what you need out of that conversation. anyway, we will bring you the updates throughout the morning and as we continue towards an interesting close. day,lly critical announcing 30 billion euros. antony jenkins, and peter smith, 9:40. coming up on this show even, debriefs.tter th we see two key white house appointments, and an announcement. then, pricing power. inflation is expected to pick up in the united kingdom. the data is out at 9:30. plus, we look at the former german finance minister's take on the health of the european banking sector. this

senate made up largely of republicans who are skeptical and really reluctant to accept sort of the warm words that donald trump -- >> is rex tillerson going to be forced to denounce putin in that confirmation hearing? >> i believe he will be and pushed about his own reflexes and his own impulses. this is going to become a threat that i think we will be able to pull through the first early months of trump presidency. what's the impulse and instinct instinct and reflex is to defend putin from hacking. we know that rex tillerson in business dealings was able to be so sort of conciliatory and able to work with russia that he received a medal of friendship. what does that tell us about their impulses about russia as really not an ally but an adversary at this point to the united states of america. >> nicolle wallace, thank you very much.

yeah, i'm very skeptical of that. if you look at some of the phone call readouts he's had with foreign leaders, it doesn't show a lot of depth about his knowledge of foreign policy. he's trying to do what donald trump does which is extend a hand of friendship to whoever reaches out to him. that's what he does, whether it's business, politics, reality tv, now the presidency. this is his m.o., trying to be friendly. telling the president of pakistan, you're doing a great job. does he know that? probably not but that's what he does though. >> the tweets after the call were probably a little more telling to me than the fact that the call occurred. it signalled that even if he were doing a deliberate policy change, he's lashing out at his critics in a way that suggests that he just wants to be able to do what he wants. so it's the combination of the call, the tweets afterwards that are basically like why are you telling me what to do and on the global stage that is just very -- i mean, to say it's unusual is an understatem

on the electoral college in 1997 and i remember testifying at that hearing and expressing some skepticism about the electoral

and yes, i'm skeptical about all of this. i'm skeptical about her being a bridge to liberals and a bridge to hope. based on the fact that we have not seen any evidence of that. that was sort of a through line of sort of ivanka coverage in the campaign that she she had her father's ear and making him more moderate. did she we that play out in her father being more rod rat? we haven't seen that. >> it didn't actually happen. >> yeah. so there's a lot of message tag comes at us about the trumps. i think it's just best to watch and see what they do and at every stage of the game to point out when that is say counter to the constitution. >> so annie, if your article you describe ivanka going to a gathering of liberal elites in aspen you said two months before the election and you saud ivanka, 35, trump's abva tar among the moneyed left wing elite is poised to be the first first daughter in history to play a larger public role than the first lady and she is positioning herself as she did that weekend as a bridge to moderates and li

the biggest part that trump was skeptical about in the information that was coming out was the intent of the hack. there have been many that have been pontificating on this issue saying that somehow that this hack was going to happen so they could sway the election towards donald trump. there is no information to become back that up at this point. >> donald trump teams directly undermined t undermined the ciia. >> the cia was not said that vladimir putin and russia was trying to swing the election one way or the other. what we know is that they very well they were hacking into find out information. there is a good chance that russia was hacking into hillary clinton and the dnc because she was leading in the polls and they were trying to hedge their bets to find out information about hillary clinton and so when he says he's skeptical about the reason they were hacking, that is his point that he was making there and i think the raiders of teen vogue should actually hear that side of the conversation. >> lauren, go ahead. >> i guess i don't understand what you think i'm missing. do you n

. >> you asked the question should reporters have been more skeptical of the polls.kepticism of the polls could lead people astray. >> the hidden romney vote that people were talking about didn't show up and the hidden trump vote did. >> it didn't serve romney's campaign for people to think he had it in the bag. supporters aren't going to get out in the same way. it's in nobody's interest. goes back to what david said. i've noticed over the years the political reports has gotten much more poll focused, it's taken over and less than on the street interviews. it became passe in the business. not entirely. i'm not in the place where i want to say be skeptical of the polls. >> i think people are going to be. >> that ship has sailed. >> we shouldn't ignore that the media had a part to play in the file your of t failure of the polls. one of the poll severs that did a good job of this, he asked who they were voting for and who their neighbors were voting for. they were much more forth right talking about who their neighbors were voting for. >> i remember talking with people

it would not be difficult to find some synnex or skeptics -- cynics or skeptics out there. a lot of people will wait and to see what has happened on the ground. i think that is almost inevitable. seen a strategy change. ince the oil price fell 2014, it has been all about market share. opec suppliers fighting for market share in the asia-pacific . we have seen a softening of that policy. the saudi's have defended their position. now we are starting to see a new policy coming out of saudi arabia, a policy which is more price sensitive. the minute we had that shift, the potential for a deal grew. impact will the trump presidency have on asset markets around the world? this is bloomberg. ♪ november was the second worst month of the year for emerging markets. it ended with signs of a stock rebound. where are the investment opportunities? >> when you think about emerging markets, you have to pretend your -- protect yourself from volatility. people are concerned about some of the trade issues coming out of the u.s. postelection and worry about the impact of rising rates. .e look f

host: some people remain skeptical about the president-elect. is there something you think he can say or do or should say and do to convince people that he is the president for everyone? caller: yes. well basically, you know, he's reaching out to the black churches. he's reaching out to hispanic communities. he's getting votes on hispanic communities. nobody thought he would do as well in the black community but by him reaching out to the black pastor scott and a few others, i think he's doing a great job. we just got to give him a chance. if we give him a chance, let him get in office and see how he does once he's in office. host: ok. and the president-elect has announced that more key picks will be coming soon as he assembles his administration. and also takes a look at the supreme court to fill the vacancy that has been there since the death of an tin scalia ack in february. president-elect trump said on thursday he would soon be unveiling his scourts nomination in an interview with hannity, he says he's down to two or three candidates. they'

guy: wife the market so skeptical -- why is the markets are skeptical?ing at a story were the market does not believe and you are saying it should believe. there is a whole array of factors into play here. nobody really believes that saudi has got its eye on the aramco ipo months to make sure it -- and wants to make sure it is around for that. if the market does not believe in this price now, what is it going to take to convince the market to believe? amrita: i think the most critical thing will be q1 next year. the market has to start seeing first, now the nominations are out and they are making cuts, they need to see it come down when they load an entry drawdowns. when they see those inventory drawdown, it will drawdown quite sharply. i don't blame the market for being skeptical. like i said, i think people are overdoing it a little bit. let us break it down. it is probably not going to be as bad. guy: price in dollars, dollar going up, how long as that relationship last for? ourselvesan we find in a situation where oil goes up and the dollar goes up?

and yes, i'm skeptical about all of this. i'm skeptical about her being a bridge to liberals and a bridge to hope. based on the fact that we have not seen any evidence of that. that was sort of a through line of sort of ivanka coverage in the campaign that she had her father's ear and making him more moderate. did we that play out in her father being more moderate? we haven't seen that. >> it didn't actually happen. >> yeah. so there's a lot of message tag -- messaging that comes at us about the trumps. i think it's just best to watch and see what they do and at every stage of the game to point out when that is say counter to the constitution. >> so annie, if your article you describe ivanka going to a gathering of liberal elites in aspen you said two months before the election and you saud avan ka, 35, trump's avatar among the moneyed left wing elite is poised to be the first first daughter in history to play a larger public role than the first lady and she is positioning herself as she did that weekend as a bridge to modera

mitch mckonl did as well yesterday, there might be more skepticism than there would be for other republican senators that will confirm the nominees are pretty pleased who trump put forward, but some members of congress i can tell you, haven't seen this level of public skepticism and concern with any other pick than tillerson. >> and great reporting as always on that. nina, we heard in the last 24 hours there's dissension but not too much of an issue. what's your read as more names are added to that list and more concerns are brought up and again no news conference from the president-elect talking more directly to the press about this and the public. >> i think ed is right to raise rex tillerson. tillerson i come from the world of fortune 500 ceos and magazines and conferences and i know he is a well respected ceo of exxonmobile. somebody that's run the company well. he is very well respected. he has concerns on climate change, supports a carbon tax. that said, choosing rex tillerson and rejecting somebody like mitt romney who thinks of russia as a real threat and to choose tillerson who doe

skeptical is good. that is what fund management is all about.e looking for upgrades to economic activity in the u.s. on the back of this trump extension. we are looking for those on thes to come through proposed corporate tax cuts. upward on eps in north america, andrd on economic condition economic factors going in. having said all that, we don't know at what level is that economic activity going to pick up. therefore, what steepening of the yield curve can be tolerated. asepening is acceptable economic activity and earnings are growing, and the complication is three rate rises by the fed being there target, and that's the difference we have going into 2017. we have risk at the margin, consolidated, but always skeptical. yvonne: skeptical, what about your take on yields and whether they continue to rise. at what point will the start hurting stocks? >> exactly. day, cutting the to the chase, this is not a 1994 event. the market may begin to price in such an event, but to have that negative annual return and bond markets, to have that event, you

>> well, wei'm not sure they're skeptical. i think what the house members are particularly focused on is the whole question of cybersecurity and this national security threat and i think it's pretty much bipartisan. we've had lots of briefings on it. i know the intelligence committee, other committees are working on it and i think that's what congressional leadership ought to be focused on from now on is a congressional, widespread commitment to figuring out how to defend our country most effectively against cyberattacks. this is a national defense issue. that's our first obligation as members of congress, as federal officials. so i think that's what we ought to be focused on and i think there probably will be pretty good bipartisan support for doing that. >> john yarmuth from kentucky. happy new year to you. >> happy new year to you, craig. >>> the clock ticking now on two russian compounds on u.s. soil. white house eviction notice expires less than two hours from now. we'll look at what those are, those two estates. >>> plus

and so i wanted my students to be skeptical, but you said sip cal, too -- cynical, too, and i have to disagree on that because i didn't allow my students to be cynical because i always felt that was a dead end. it's oning there to be skeptical and move on or look for the truth or to look to change or things, but cynicism was a dead end because it's too easy. so you want torn di'll give you a chance to response.ce >> i respect high school english teachers. if you want to i'm emme -- >> i'm retired now. >> -- on my grammar. >> what did. >> they periodically ei'm me and chastise me for my mistakeke inside grammar. these are very long e-mails. >> i did notice that in your book. >> not all english teachers. you're right.ng i think you're right. think a dose of cynicism is healthy because a dose of corruption existed in our o society and you need to the cynicism to recognize the corruption, and that it's not simply so-called third worldunth countries that are corrupt-we're crocket, too but it acceptable. you get a golf club maybeship 0 toe pam toll toe -- you need to hold who ideas at the s

a last time we had a chat, there was a healthy dose of skepticism about saudi arabia's ambitions. with the budget announcement expected late today, they will shift things and a high gear a little bit? >> i think the idea of bringing down revenues and at the same time provide cash to the lower income families is already something very good because you're basically isolating a problem, a problem of economic sustainability. they need to participate in the economy, there is a big population compared to other countries. they are isolating that problem. it will allow them when they have to do the 2018 budget, to really have a hard look at the subsidies and at the same time, -- that willo 2018 investors to look at lower income families. there are clearly indications that they are organizing the budget, they are looking at how to better the revenues. is there a risk of saudi ambitions being too ambitious? will it kick back in terms of slowing down the economy? extray they are adding measures. in that could take them back, especially with the federal reserve adding rates. >> the rate hikes

>> first of all, rick perry is a climate change skeptic.ven before his pick, employees are concerned because the transition team with donald j. trump asked them to provide a list of every employee and contractor that worked at the energy drpt in recent months and years in climate change issues. they say i'm alarmed by the questionnaire set by the trump transition team to the department of energy seems those names of career civil servants that worked on climb change. it raises questions of possible retribution for following president obama's policies. trump advisors say that is not true at all. the department of energy employees are also saying that rick perry wanted to eliminate their jobs. >> a very successful multiterm governor, i don't they is a crazy pick, but i think the energy department is one of the three he failed to remember -- >> that's why he didn't remember them -- >> three agencies of government that are gone when i get there. commerce, education, and what's the third one there? the third one, i can't, sorry. oops. >> now perr

and that's skeptical of trade deals, skeptical of the iraq and foreign wards and hates, loathes the neocons and is sometimes tinged with a little more than a little anti-semitism with the zionists running policy for the republican party and is very skeptical of a kind of in-line pro-israel stance from the sort of republican party. that's where things seem to have started and they have now ended up in the -- very far from that. how do you explain that? >> i think it's worth noting, i mean, you're right about trump's claim that he wants to be a neutral guy, they wants to make this big deal. he said that early in the primaries. it's very much worth noting that when he said that and that was seen as a kind of heresy against republican party positions to say i'm just going to be neutral and not take sides, not only did he continue to win republican primaries, he won, among christian evangelicals, which are seen as some of the most pro israel constituencies in the republican party. so i think that, you know, let's leave that aside for the moment even though i think it says that there's a lot more

donald trump names a tim acclimate climate change skeptic as the head of the epa. it is the latest controversial pick. russia says the syrian army has stopped its attack on aleppo. the united states says it will wait and see to find out if the fighting has really stopped. ministerr budget sentenced to three years in jail for tax evasion and money laundering. he resigned in 2012. first, a month after he won the white house, donald trump has been handing out covenant appointments at a rocket rate. he has picked a host of retired generals for top national security positions and he named up theruitt to head environmental protection agency. for the latest, we go to washington. philip is there. president obama made fighting climate change a cornerstone of his policy. reporter: it is in serious danger. scott pruitt sees the epa and the environment of production agency that he will be the head of as a department with an activist agenda. scott pruitt, the current attorney general for the state a climatea also is change skeptic. not necessarily a denier. the jury's still out

. >> a lot of people have said skepticism and i wonder how much you were able to talk about that with keith? thank you was skepticism before and after she was found and that is a reason why keith did the interview. this is a very private family. they don't have twitter accounts. they distant do facebook. for him to go on public and tell on national television before millions of people this is something that is not really in his nature. but he felt he had to do it to put out all of the conspiracy theories that either he was involved in the wife's disappearance or she maybe had something to do with it. >> mat asked about the markings last on his wife and how she was able to find comfort during her ordeal air tonight on "20/20," followed by abc7 at 11:00. >> a major parking garage in the east bay is shutting down because it is not earthquake safe and it is right near city in downtown cloak leaving workers and holiday shoppers without a place to park. our reporter is there. amy? >> yes, natasha, this garage has it all, prime location, cheaper than the other garages around here, but it is

he didn't go all the way to say that he does have that skepticism. he certainly eluded to that fact. then he was asked whether or not he wants to continue to receive daily intelligence briefings. there are reports he is not receiving the briefings once a week. when chris wallace pressed him on that, asking why he wasn't receiving the press briefings more than once a week, this is what he had to say. >> i get it when i need it. >> is there some skepticism? >> first of all, these are very good people giving me the briefings. if something should change from this point, immediately call me. i'm available on one minute's notice. i don't have to be told, you know -- i'm a smart person. i don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years. could be eight years, but eight years. i don't need that. >> democrats, of course, seizing on donald trump, saying he is smart enough and doesn't need to receive these intelligence briefings every day. they say this shows a lack of understanding of the responsibilities that tr

>> i'm skeptical.oping he doesn't turn out to be the guy who cheats at golf. >> reporter: william d. cohan, thanks very much. >> thanks for having me. >> woodruff: now to another in our brief but spectacular series, where we ask interesting people to share their passions. tonight, we hear from news media critic and new york university journalism professor, jay rosen. he runs the website, "pressthink.org" and to us, his views on the state of journalism in the age of facebook. >> 25 years ago we would have been in the studio somewhere with 13 people around. we're recording this with a single camera man and his mom who's holding the microphone. we've got our journalist in another city asking questions remotely. it's becoming easier to make media just at the same time that the network of news is expanding to include everyone with a cellphone all over the world. what i think we really need is a press that can sometimes say to us, "hey you may not think this is interesting but it's really important." journal

gantos made me skeptical. i never forgot that exercise.ow, to put all of this in perspective, i am offering a way that this show can bolster the process. i infuse the show with all the lessons here. i try to imagine my mother being a caller. i try to keep the skepticism of the gantos lesson my father taught me. i try to figure out how i can help through presenting you the giants and the gantoss so you can understand the process of good investing. most of all, i want to show you that it isn't reckless to try to pick individual stocks, and those who say it is just don't understand the process of first hand experience married with research, buttressed by skepticism. it all increases the odds of success individual stock investing while minimizing the risk of single stock ownership. so here's my bottom line. my mom was no genius at stocks, but she did have a genuine interest. my dad was a genius at retail, and i would like to think that some of that rubbed off on me. stay with cramer. >>> we're talking tonight about the notion of individual inv

. >> reporter: there's sympathy for keith, of course, but also plenty of skepticism. police following standard procedure have to eliminate him as a suspect. remember, the only physical evidence in the case all in two photos he snaps, and then gives to authorities. >> wheni do saw the way that phone was pictured in the photograph he sent you, did it make you think perhaps it was staged? >> it looked like it could have been placed there. along with the earbuds being placed on top of the phone screen. >> your wife vanished. but you're also the prime suspect. >> i never felt that. >> you never felt that? >> i didn't. it never occurred to me at first me. >> reporter: to try to clear any cloud of doubt, keith papini demands to take a polygraph test and passes it. >> basically nine days before he was really cleared of suspicion? >> yes. >> why so long? >> we were going through investigating hundreds of tips, looking at cell phone data, cell tower data. >> reporter: the sheriff says keith is not a suspect but that no one has been entirely eliminated from his list. so investig

yousef: a healthy dose of skepticism about whether this will work and the global shale.id ingles take a look at how the market played out and what needs to be thought about in 2017. david: let's start with a look back at oil industries. oil is talk, a need for a need for- hawk, agreement, below $30 per barrel. prices have risen since. we did get the deal between oil producers that sent oil prices to the range we are in at the moment. before the q1 of next year, it will be about global inflation. that is what we see the base effect come into play. that is really what people are talking about. let's have a look at market dynamics moving ahead, looking at interesting relations as we enter 2017. a very interesting trend, as we noted. let me have a look at the daily change in oil price. this will take you back to 2012. i think what it shows you his 2016 was still about a wild year in terms of price swings. swings got exacerbated, but not as bad as 2015. for the most part we were stuck between $20.45 and within that range, 4% to 5% daily swings were not uncommon. sort of died

>> sara, i will probably bore you to death with my skepticism. i'm always fully invested.r. my annual turnover last year in my portfolio was about 16%. while i'm cautious, i don't move stocks in and out. if i think it's expensive -- alan greenspan thought it was expensive at 6,000 when he said irrational exuberance, eight months later it was 8,000. i think my skepticism is very much warranted. regardless of the short-term market actions. i think the markets have been pricing in all of the benefits of a lot of the trump proposals without the consequences, ignoring most of the potential consequences. this is probably a song i'll sing for a while and did in 1999 as well. i was the old curmudgeon they brought on and said this doesn't make sense. >> michael, big meeting between president trump and various tech leaders today. what do you think of the tech sector? it has started to take part in the rally more eventually. the rally has broadened, tech is playing catch-up. what is your view of the tech sector? >> i like the tech sector. i continue -- i always liked it i like the in

i thought our job was to be skeptical. how tempered should the optimism be, or is it really green light, green light? >> that's going to depend on what actually happens. right now the market is doing what the market does, anticipating what they now see as a change in a number of different areas where they did not think they were going to get a change. you've seen the markets move up. you've seen bonds come down. you've seen rates go up. there's been changes based on the anticipation of what could happen once you get a new administration. there's going to be a lot of questions as to how many of those things can happen, how quickly they can happen. and i think that in the first hundred days, if you don't see some movement or whether or not congress agrees with them, then you'll see whether or not the market can continue to stay optimistic. i don't see in the very short term what changes that picture. >> one area that we've seen a dramatic change in, in the last couple of days, is the energy sector, with huge percentage gains

an outspoken skeptic of theate change and supports keystone xl pipeline. democrats are gearing up for a confirmation fight. don't mind having an e.p.a. critic. that is not my concern. science denier. foodle: and corporate fast executive, andrew puzder, has been named labor secretary. puzder does not support raising federal minimum wage and is opposed to expanding overtime pay. our panel to discuss this week, we have a lot to cover. begin with pruitt. about whatd a signal we can expect from the e.p.a.? and what does this say about trump's real sort of fist in the eye style of politics right now? jeff: i think what we're seeing among all of the -- or the majority of the members of the outsiders,lot of very limited government experience, if any, in those cases, not much. and people who are opposed ideologically to some of what their agency regulates. this is not to be a big surprise shock. had any republican won, it would have been a complete turnaround from the obama administration, obviously. but this goes, i think, a little bit farther here. aree people in

>> stewart:: despite the president-elect's skepticism, voices on capitol hill are calling for a congressional investigation. a bipartisan group of four senators, including john mccain and chuck schumer, released a statement this morning saying: >> democrats and republicans must work together, and across the jurisdictional lines of the congress, to examine these recent incidents thoroughly. >> stewart: senator mccain later said that the senate armed services committee, which he chairs, will investigate the allegations, and that he would like to form a special committee to learn more. speaker of the house paul ryan also responded to the report with a statement that said in part, "foreign intervention in our elections is unacceptable," but speaker ryan did not call for an investigation. the report of russian attempts to influence the election is highlighting concerns about exxon mobil ceo rex tillerson since his emergence as a late frontrunner to be secretary of state. the oil executive has long-time ties with russia and president vladimir putin, who gave tillerson an "order of friendship" honor

emily: do you see a security danger in trump being so skeptical?hink that the forensics of cybersecurity are always difficult. attribution is hard. that's one of the reasons why deterrence isn't perfect in this space. during the cold war, for instance, we had an array of satellites in space that could tell us with certainty where a missile launch came from. there is no analog in cyber. so it does require certain amount of trust or faith in the forensic capability of the u.s. intelligence community to tell us where these attacks are coming from. emily: all right. nate fick, c.e.o. of endgame. thank you so much for stopping by. coming up, uber self-driving cars hit the brakes in california. we'll tell you why the sudden stop, next. this is bloomberg. ♪ emily: general motors is taking a big leap into the future and producing self-driving cars at its assembly plant in michigan. according to the c.e.o. this is a step towards building the vehicles on a large scale. just last week michigan enacted a law to allow the testing and eventual sales of autonomou

trump, you have to be skeptical about things. is that a fair assessment? >> i think you have to be skeptical about things but certainly in this case they've got a very complicated situation with extensive business holdings. the extent of all of their sources of income really isn't known because as you point out, donald trump hasn't released his tax returns which would give us a fuller accounting. and he has adult children with their own businesses, their own web of connections and sitting in on meetings with world leaders and domestic business titans and advising him on policies and key hires. who's influencing them becoming a pressing question. >> is this, in your estimation of your reporting, a question of legality or ill legality or is this more in the area of ethical opportunities that are taken or unethical opportunities. >> i think pay to play and access for donors usually fall into the ethical area. the laws that apply here would come into play if someone actually got something, if there was a case of bribery which is not what we're talking about he
