so tammy, obviously, a big time difference. still very early out there, but what is the initial reaction here from the president, from his team when it comes to vladimir putin saying, hey, no response here? >> reporter: good morning, steve. u.s. official is telling nbc news that the white house is surprised that russia is not expelling u.s. diplomats. other than that, we are not expecting a formal response from the white house today. let's go over these sanctions. the u.s. is expected to expel 35 russian diplomats suspected of being buy spoospies, close two compounds in maryland and new york expected to have russian activities and sanction two leading intelligence services, sanction three russian companies that supported these hacking operations, they also will be penalizing four top officers at the organizations. also, two russian people who have been named in unrelated cyber activities and those two people are suspected of stealing $100 million from u.s. financial institutions, universities and government agencies. president

come in tammy bruce, welcome tammy. >> thank you.e are going to hear from john kerry later this morning. >> oh, yeah. ashley: get the administration's reasoning for this. what's your take on this? israel obviously praying for january 20th and the, you know, inauguration of donald trump. >> part of what secretary kerry is going to say today is this really is nothing new, he's going to be defending the administration which i find interesting in that they do find the criticism is having impact on something. so, they're in a reactionary mode normally they wouldn't have to. there's a vision of the next three weeks, what they want to do. what's different about this, it effectively recognizes the 1967 boundaries, or pre-the 1967 boundaries. it has an impact on the ground there and that's why the prime minister of israel is upset and this is long-term. you've got, remember, barack obama with interfering with the israeli elections and sent one of his activists there and they were working to try to have netanyahu's party not win and have him n
