with bill critical stepping down after founding the magazine, steve hayes is taking over the top jobat down with him here in studio one. >> steve hayes, welcome. >> thanks. >> how do you see -- and [ inaudible ] was never trump. >> and bill was not the only one who was never trump. and the rule the weekly standard won't change, we've never been a mouth piece for the republican party, we have an independent conservative voice and we think we are tough on republicans and tough on the bush administration and tough on democrats and tough on donald trump. >> and conservative magazine and republican president, even if it isn't the president you wanted doesn't mean you will go easier? >> not at all. we're not on a team. we never thought we were on a team. we don't wear red or through and we are conservative and we are a conservative journal of opinion. but we want donald trump to succeed in the way we want any american president to succeed. it is important for the country and this is a critical time. we would like him to do well. when he does things that are smart and deserve praise, he wil

steve hayes v, i think your confirmation hearing will be easier. >> i am not sure.elf awake in the middle of the night, waking too early? we will talk to dr. winters next. >>> whether you work in the tv business, a parent, we are all sleep depriepd. a recent "the wall street journal" article got our attention about chronic insomnia and applies to a lot of us. in it the article says 30% of american adults have symptoms of insomnia each year. 10% have chronic insomnia, t defined as difficulty sleeping three times a week for three months or more. our next guest isn't thrilled with the article completely. he is a newer obviously gist and sleep medicine doctor, the right person to talk to about this. i am curious, do the numbers jive with what you see on a regular basis, dr. winter, that frankly a lot of us have insomnia, real insomnia? >> absolutely. i think at some point in our lives we're all going to be touched by it some point or another. i think numbers are spot on. >> this is a tough time, we're all not sleeping enough. what do you think is the number one mistake

steve hayes, thanks for being here. let's start with the united nations vote.erral of that vote. it seemed to be specifically tied to one cause, and that is donald j. trump, the president-elect saying this should be retold. >> it's amazing the energy he's bringing to the role. i thought this was encourage. it shows the world is understanding there are going to be some big changes. it's not going to be business as usual. that's what we need to see in so many areas of policy. today was a strong, specific example. lou: we watched something i don't think there has been a parallel. the opposition of business to the anti-establishment candidate, that is, donald trump, was understandable, is understandable and ceos are showing up at meir mir -- at mar-a-lago talking about reducing the cost of air force one aircraft and the f-35 program which is totally out of control and represents billions of dollars. >> i saw it myself when i was inside government in the u.k. with david cameron. the big corporations have been ripping off the taxpayers for decades because there has n

for more on this, steve hayes editor-in-chief of "the weekly standard" and a fox news contributor. should the united nations be punished if you do not agree with a security council vote? >> well, i don't think with any security couldn't sill vote. to me this is culmination of decades-long problems at the united nations. the unitedded nations has become a place where authoritarians go to be excused. where atrocities are often ignored. where you have united nations doing business with people like saddam hussein and oil-for-food program, giving sus ten nance to a regime that was struggling with its own finances. the united nations with many respects become more trouble than it's worth for the united states. eric: there certainly has been a failing of the international order. you have isis, terrorist attacks, horror what happened in syria. civilians killed on a mass scale. all this are the very issues that the united nations was established to address and hopefully solve, to quote, promote international peace and security. this is the first resolution at the u.n. at the security counci

also the election coverage so with bret baier and megyn kelly, brit hume, charles krauthammer, steve hayes, george or will, a.b. stoddard, people i've admired for so long. we worked a lot of hours together, chris stirewalt, another one. i did a podcast as well. we worked weekends. and also it was just an amazing, fascinating story to cover. if you waited four hours, there would be a new storyline in this election. it was just so wild the whole time. >> host: what's your take on the result? >> guest: well, i think america spoke very, very loudly. the map looks totally different. donald trump was able to do something that a lot of people, including me, looking at the numbers didn't think he could do. and kellyanne conway, the president-elect's campaign manager, said the cues and clues were there all along. i remember in 2012, i sort of bought into this idea that the polls were skewed and that romney was actually going to win, and that turned out not to be true, and i promised myself i would never do that again. the national polling was largely correct. the state polling was absolutely off. a

to do coverage not just on the five on those big primary night and i got to be with megan kelly, steve hayes, tucker carlson who i adore and that is a tightknit group and we worked a lot of hours. that is what i always wanted to do when i was a kid in wyoming and colorado. when i was in third grade my dad had me read in the denver post before he got home from work. i have to choose to articles and then tha dad started my interesn news. what i wanted to do my whole life is beyond the show talking about the news of the day. i loved when i would watch you as a kid but he doesn't think that's very funny. >> for now you are giving it five days a week. >> the way that i described my life right now is wonderful of gratitude. depending on how many people online. but i described my career right now my plate is full with all of my favorite foods. the only thing i need to do right now is take a food off. i think maybe i won't do another book for a while although i do love the writing process so much i am a voracious reader so much i can't wait to delve into the stack of books. i found one of the author

trish: let me -- >> steve hayes, you and i agree with that.the problem with entitle meants, tell me one democrat in congress that wants too deal with entitlements? trish: steven hayes, what happens to mitch mcconnell if he continues to throw opposition about tax cuts given as steve points out this is what donald trump won on, this was part of the platform? >> well, look, i think that's one of the reasons that donald trump is going to have good relationships with congress, with republicans in congress. he's going to have to make that case to mitch mcconnell. make exactly the argument that steve is suggesting he make which is i ran on this, i won on this and these are my priorities. he's the president of the united states. he's shuin an ability to make the case to the american people and bring people along behind him. i think he ought to do that. it would be a big mistake, steve is right on the fraud, on the entitlement question. we need to be serious about addressing the structural problems with entitlements. i would be open to sequencing in an

i got to be with brett baer and megyn kelly, charles krauthammer, george will, steve hayes, tucker carlson who i adore and juan williams. that's a tightknit group and we worked a lot of hours, a long time. truly, jackie, that's what always wanted to do when i was a kid. i started out in wyoming and colorado. when i was in third grade my dad had me read the rocky mountain news and denver post before he got home from work and i had to choose two articles to discuss before dinner. that really started my interest in use. i'm a voracious news consumer. what i really wanted to do my whole life was be on a sunday show talking about news of the day, like george will. now we are called get to tell them, i loved it when i watched you when i was a kid. he doesn't think that's very funny. >> now you are doing it five days a week. >> the way i describe my life right now is one -- i signed my book joy and gratitude. describe my career right now is that my plate is full with all of my favorite foods. the only thing i think i need to do right now is maybe take food off. >> what would that be? >> i think m

now in terms of the commentators, charles krauthammer, george will, karl rove, steve hayes, rich lowry -- >> they're terrible. >> they have ripped you. >> although rich lowry is coming along even today he's got a nice article. >> and you have hit them back in speeches and interviews and on twitter but would you say that fox is unfair to you in its news coverage? >> it doesn't matter. because look when i -- when they do a story on me and then a guy like krauthammer gets up and he's so angry, you can see, he's crazed. george will is crazed. they mention the name trump and he starts to shake. >> they don't think you're a real conservative. >> let me tell you. you know what i am? i'm a winner. i know how to win. i've been winning all my life. these guys aren't winners. >> and people sometimes forget that conservative journalists were among his biggest detractors. >> more importantly about the guy, i'm not treated well when they do a story and then i get krauthammer commenting. or i get george will, or steven hayes. i mean this poor guy, they mention trump and he goes -- it's like, he becom

and then later he said, you know, steve hayes is a loser because he is only giving me $10 in chips.chips. >> seth: there you go. he's gonna be so disappointed when he finds out it's not real money. so, you know, you have to cover him and one of the things that's typical in the media right now is the difference between things he's doing that will define policy and actually affect people's lives and when he know, it's juicy when he tweets. and it's fun to cover and it's fun to talk about. do you think that's a distraction of his own planning? do you think that's an incidental distraction? and how with someone who covers the news, how do you do it? how do you approach it? >> first of all, it's a challenge. everything that he says now is news. because he is now the president-elect. he will be the president january 20th. and, you know, i think he does effectively take the media on a ride sometimes to say, look at the shiny thing over here in 140 characters or less. but you're right. one of the challenges is to cover policy. we have this segment called "the hundred days" and we have a 15-

tony. >> look, what bill o'reilly said -- bill: headlines day after day, i made the comment to steve hayesago, this honeymoon lasted about 12 hours. >> and one of the bigger points o'reilly made was this is not about media bias which we all skip is somewhat baked into the -- accept is somewhat baked into the cake. among the mainstream media, the animus -- bill: you believe that? >> it's obvious. the attacks are are so perm. they're all about his character, and they try to somehow present it as some objective news. you had on a sunday morning news show someone from salon.com somebody say in a sense this election was illegitimate, making that claim on a major sunday show. not on a blog, on some sort of tertiary news source, and this is, unfortunately, what the left accepts as common practice. >> one quick point. look, i didn't vote for donald trump, i had my problems with secretary clinton. first and foremost, i'm an american. what i was brought up to do is to pull together behind the president-elect, especially as may be the case we're facing unprecedented attacks from the russians, when th

heather: for more on in this, let's bring in steve hayes, editor-in-chief of the weekly standard andws contributor. thank you for joining us, first of all. >> morning, heather. heather: so let's start where peter doocy just left off, and that is the president-elect's response to russia. what is your opinion on what he had to say which is, you know, move on, but he is going to meet with some of the intelligence leaders to get a full view of everything that's happened. >> well, i think it was important that reince priebus, the chief of staff, said what he said last night on "the o'reilly factor," to make it clear that the incoming trump administration won't abide any attempts, foreign attempts particularly by hostile powers to interfere with our elections or the parties who are participating in those elections. it's important to clarify that nobody here, not even the white house, is claiming that the russians attempted to actually hack or successfully hacked our electoral systems. that is not what -- heather: yeah. they're saying they hacked the dnc and podesta's e-mails. >> correct. r

we'll talk with steve maise hayes, named editor-in-chief of "the weekly standard."ughts on trump's picks. why watching tv standing up might be the best. it is impractical though. sandra: jenna, thank you. meghan: just weeks after "the new york times" public editor promised paper would try harder to quote, not be a echo chamber of liberal intellectualism. reporting hiring "politico"'s glen thrush, exposed in wikileak emails sending stories to hillary clinton staffers for approve. he will cover the white house. washington bureau chief con terms the move, thrush is called quote a premier political journalist. thrush describing himself much differently in email to clinton's campaign mail in april 2015 revealed through wikileaks. thrush, because i've become a hack i will send you the whole section that pertains to you. please don't share or tell anyone i did this tell me if i [bleep]ed up anything. thrush later tweeting he was checking to be sure a portion. story was accurate an claiming he does that with everybody. so i'm going to go to you first, david. this is ridicul

steve liesman. i think greg hayes laid it out plainly, clearly and bluntly.phrase what he said for our audience, very clear. okay, i'm going to keep the jobs here, but guess what, because they're expensive, it is just going to hasten the pace of replacing these men and women with robots and not just them, what do we do if anything about this? >> well, i don't think we can stop it. that's basically correct. it is inevitable. part of capitalism there will be this continuous drive for more efficiency. in this example with amazon, not just about reducing labor costs at all. they have come up with something disruptive. i don't think there is anyone who doesn't hate standing in line at a retail store and they f figured out a way to get rid of the lines. this is not just about eliminating jobs, it is going to create enormous advantages for consumers. >> technology also does create plenty of jobs. let's talk about amazon's drone delivery initiative. you see it is going to kill u.p.s., yeah, but maybe the u.p.s. driver goes and pilots the drone. when i look at the aut

final question, steve, as someone who has covered business news for a long time, the idea that he singled out greg hayes, ceo of united technologies and really speaking personally about their conversations, wouldn't have picked up the phone if i didn't win the presidency telling him you are going to invest a lot more than you say you will, what kind of message does that send to other ceos in this country? what do you think they are thinking? >> the first message is to journalists. this is a very different president. i think eamon javers said it, he makes it personal and that as you know is a very big part of how you make a good deal sometimes is you make things personal. it's very different for companies and i think the use of carrier as an example is a double edged sword in the sense that i'm going to suffer a potential publicity nightmare if i am singled out as a company. on the other hand carrier did get something of a deal here. you could have other companies coming forward and may do what they have been doing for a while. there are lobbies out there who are against this sort of corporate welfare. i
