correctly in that tweet. donald trump's conflicts of interest as president have been a major subject of controversy in the weeks since the election. and this is the very, very first time that donald trump has indicated he shares some concern about that. but he made it clear he is only concerned about the way it looks. hence the very peculiar phrasing, "i feel it is visually important." "i feel it is visually important as president to in no way have a conflict of interest." visually important. not very important. huh-uh. just visually important. the image. it's all about the image with donald trump. nothing in those tweets indicated what donald trump actually plans to do about his conflicts of interest. no sane person could come away from those tweets thinking well, now we know something more about what donald trump is actually going to do about his conflicts of interest. we didn't know more after reading those trumps than we did before donald trump woke up this morning and started tweeting. and that is why wh

. >> can i read you the tweet. >> if you are going to talk about a tweet. talk about a tweet. read me what it says and we can talk about it. let's not sit here and take a couple of words here and there. >> okay. would you want me to read some of your tweets? >> read me one. let's talk about the one that bothers you the most. >> well, there are a lot. and it's not that they bother me. >> i can't answer a question about a lot of tweets. give me an answer. give me a question. >> well, you are entirely entitled to your opinion. i just my only point is that you ought to label yourself as what you are which is an advocate you say things like this. how can trumpsters defend a president-elect. >> let's stop for a minute. >> i have a hundred of them. i'm trying to give you one right now. >> here, you know what? let's play the game another way. i spent a little while just sort of doing. >> well, no, actually, why let me ask you this question if you would. >> tucker carlson falsehood. can i sit here and read them to you one at a time. and we can talk about what you have to say. >> that's

s tweets and then he had to tweet something really angry to respond. he can keep tweeting. we as american people need an infrastructure change in how we receive media, besides you guys at c-span, i appreciate what you do, it seems everybody has a bias and narrative and incentive to do this and you're talking about the russian hacking and then switch topics to the celebrity apprentice. it's just kind of when we're talking about a big news story like a conflict of interest, suddenly we talk about flag burning. i can do the same thing trump does, we could -- there could be something like russia has a billion dollar donation to trump towers and here's a tweet four hours later donald trump ants to lower the age of lethal injections for anybody that's homosexual and everybody starts freaking out about that. it's a magic act. we have to get smarter. host: let me ask you this, do you expect, once he said, once he's in the white house he will take a more restrained approach to the use of twitter or do you think he's going to continue as e's doing now? caller: of course he's going to

on twitter, trump tweeting that the u.s. must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until the world comes to its senses regarding nukes. bucking almost 50 years of historical precedent against nuclear. this pledge coming hours after vladimir putin spoke about strengthening russia's arsenal. a nuclear arms race. >> it's difficult taknow what to make of it all. we're committed to our new start obligations with russia and, again, maintaining a strong nuclear deterrent here in the united states. >> reporter: trump's team attempting to clarify the president-elect's tweet hours later. he actually meant he wanted to prevent the threat of nuclear proliferation. the opposite of what he initially tweeted. trump also openly undermining president obama and signaling a major shift in diplomatic policy in another unprecedented move via social media. calling for the obama administration to veto a u.n. security council resolution condemning izraissi settlement. the israeli government reached out to trump directly asking him t

especially in this second tweet. and it's always -- it's always interesting to take apart donald trump's words, because frequently they have no meaning, or they're completely filled or filled with ignorance. and in this tweet where he says if the union was any good. that would have kept those jobs in indiana. clearly blaming the union and the workers. and then he tells the workers and the union to do this. he said spend more time working. he wants people to spend more time working at this plant. apparently he thinks they're not working, not working enough. and then he says reduce dues. now explain to donald trump what dues, union dues have to do with whether carrier keeps jobs in indiana. >> they have nothing to do with whether carrier keeps jobs in indiana. in fact, our union dues are a little over not quite 1.5%. so they're minimal to carrier's operation and to the work we do. and again, i want to go back to what carrier said at the time when they made the initial announcement. they said that it had nothing to do w

you can't govern by tweets.t doesn't matter. >> okay. >> it's irrelevant. >> i guess the only explanation is you ran out of sick days. otherwise, you may not have shown up. >> have you used that line before. i want originality from you. >> this has the hallmark of everything that donald trump hates, right? he hates lobbyists. each one of his team has to sign a no lobby pledge. they won't go against the government. it's the largest lobby in washington by a factor of 50%. over $180 million they spent in a year, number one. number two, as i mentioned before, medicare cannot negotiate drug prices. largest buyer of drugs. that's obama care. one word, if if you buy savaldi, the hep c cure, you pay $90,000 a year. he will go after it. now, it's a tweet. he is not president yet. when he becomes president -- >> he wasn't even a tweet. >> it was an article in time magazine. >> person of the year issue. >> whether you want to say it's a bully pulpit, if you want to die le dilude yourself and say it's only a tweet. >> i'm m

of the week or the tweet of the day with a sidebar story in a newspaper, but not every tweet should be covered in the same way. >> even if we agree it's perhaps a bit of media overreaction and every thought doesn't deserve a full day of cable news coverage, there is also the question of holding donald trump accountable and how do you do that if not by focusing on his own words and what are the implications for policy and are there facts to back it up and so forth? it's kind of a dilemma for our business. >> it is a dilemma. it is a dilemma. there's a school of thought now that says, well, let's not give all this attention to all these tweets. because when he does these tweets, he's doing it to distract from something else that's going on that's more substantive and more important. >> that's a position. may be partially true. >> i'm describing something, i'm not supposing it. maybe it is that thought out on his part. maybe it's not. but it highlights that this is a really new situation for the media. we have never had a president in my adult lifetime who just says what's on his mind.

when your mum was tweeting, was she tweeting your words or tweeting her words? me and mum.bana's idea, but admits it is a way to combat the regime. i think there now was a big fight out there. and i think our twitter was a weapon. your twitter was a weapon? yes. but the tweets attracted threats, and made it harderfor the family to join the mass evacuation of eastern aleppo. fatima got bana on to one of the buses disguised as a boy. today, the last opposition fighters retreated from their former stronghold, and by the evening the syrian army was in control of the entire city, for the first time in more than 11.5 years. just days after escaping all this, bana dreams of returning. translation: i was happy to leave, but sad at the same time. i wish i could go back to aleppo, go back home. i want to live in my house, because i love it, even if it had been bombed. i love my house. in english: we shall overcome some day. before saying goodbye, bana sang us a song about childhood and stolen freedoms. # i am a child with something to say...# 0ne voice, raised for countless others, w

tweeted about china devaluing its currency. he bitch about saturday night live, called jill stein a conartist then, of course, plugged a rerun of a fox news special about his apartment. and went on to tweet storm about america's trade policies. i mean this guy has so many tweets, this guy is on the toilet a lot. i don't know. and if are you within of those people who's freaked out about donald trump's tweeting, i understand. because using a president who announce appointments in the role garden, consoled the nation from the oval office. but for trump, everything is on twitter. and he tweets with the same gravity about alec bald win as he does about a trillion dollar trade war. and i understand for many people this is not normal. it feels like trump is being too casual with the highest office in the land. it's not normal. it's like seeing the quen in sweat pants. it's not normal. it looks dope but it's not normal. i would mess with that queen but it's not normal. and i'm not going to lie. there's not much donald trump can do to

that is not how this tweet read. should there be concern that different things are being tweeted that the world sees and then sort of back tracking, and clarify by the team after? >> well this is a perfect example, poppy, of the kind of confusion we're going to get until this administration decides how it's going to proceed. what you're saying is exactly right. the tweet said expand. expand nuclear weapons. and then you know, good luck to jason miller, sean spicer, great guys, they're going to have their hands full trying to dial back and clarify over and over and over again as long as the president-elect decides on a whim in the middle of doing something else to sort of pop off a statement here or there without consulting anyone. and ambassador burns is exactly right. we all grew up or many of us of a certain age under the shadow and threat of what was called mutually assured destruction. donald trump was part of that generation, as well. one of the great achievements of the last generation was to move away from tha

the atlantic's james fellows tweeted today. it is hard to overstate the bottomless pig ignorance and recklessness of donald trump's phone call with the president of taiwan. joining us now is james fellows, national correspondent for the "atlantic." you have more room here than a tweet, james, to react to everything we now know about the taiwan call many. >> so i think it's worth saying there are two possibilities here. each of them is bad. one possibility is that donald trump did not understand the significance of what he was doing. he didn't understand the sense of time of richard nixon, gerald ford, jimmy carter for whom i worked and then through the democratic and republican presidents alike, there's been a carefully negotiated protocol of how we deal with the separate entities of the republic of china on taiwan and china on the main land. we essentially say they are one country. presidents of the united states do not talk directly to the presidents who have been elected by the people of taiwan. so maybe he didn't know th. o

>> tweeting about this. it happens before with some stars. >> comedian sin bad every year sin bad has passed away. he is still alive. brittany spears same thing happen. she had to tweet a photo saying i'm here. >> proof of life, still alive. >> there was a report that went out saying that she was dead, hackers broke in the account of the sony music, tweeting out this fake news that she had died. that was original tweet right there you can see it rip brittany. people reacted and was like what, what is going on. company had to post brittany spears dead by accident. we will tell you more soon. was that a better answer. that is more odd reaction from a major company. that was still a hack. company has since deleted those tweets from the account. spears manager says she's doing fine despite that. >> good indication when you are not dead is to say, so and so has died, more coming up in a little bit. can you imagine having a tweet , and god forbid karen hepp, in longer. >> here i am, proof of life. >> brittany ace

trump has been tweeting. this may be something that could wrangle some people at the white house who are very proud of the fact that they feel they've accomplished a lot economically in the eight years that barack obama has been president. donald trump is giving himself props when it comes to the economy. tell us about that. >> reporter: right. he's sending out another tweet, chris. again, we haven't seen him publicly. he has been very public and vocal online on twitter in the last few days talking about the unemployment rate, talking about the economy and ending his tweet with the phrase thanks, donald, exclamation point. he's giving himself props in every sense of the word. i think that it is -- you know, as he heads into his administration, as he heads into the inauguration just a couple of weeks from today, there's a sense that he wants to kind of take ownership of the good economic numbers, the solid economic numbers that are out there that i think president obama would potentially take exception to and,

you guys tweet. carefully do you scan back over your tweets before you send something out >> i try to >> i've had a couple of slip-ups. you get very close and intentional with what you send. >> if you're in any pig of public notoriety, you have to be careful about the things you say and tweet especially if you have something on your own twitter account that says my views are not those of the dc ps. here'swhat happened. her name is hillary tone, she's the spokesperson for the dc ps, and apparently hillary tone is not a big fan of rick perry ing name secretary of energy. as we talked about back in 202012 he couldn't remember that's one of the three pa wanted to eliminate. hillary tone goes out last night and says, quote, if wanting to eliminate a department of government qualifies you to run it, she says, quote, in that case, either like to be secretary of white men. it didn't stop there. she went on facebook, she wrote. if wanted to get rid of something qualifies you to run i want to be secretary of w

after tweeting the u.s.ust greatly strengthen and e up and down nuclear capability he was a asked off camera to clarify. trump saying. >> let it be an arms race because we'll outlast them all. >> reporter: the president elect's tweets should be taken literally. >> the president is going to put our nation and security first and not going to worry about how. >> reporter: but concern about the iimmaculate of his tweets around the world. >> that is just kwoirng to lead to accuse in our international roelgs. >> reporter: and it is not just foreign policy that trump is tweeted about. this mornings he bemoaned eric's decision to stop fundraising for his foundation. trump who leveled eeltless attacks on the clinton foundation during the campaign. >> it's called pay for play. >> reporter: today writing my son will no longer be able to raise money for children with cancer because of a on flikt with my presidency. isn't this a shame? >> reporter: we are just hours away from christmas eve and the president elect is not

trump say, tweet on. >> fine. okay. someone is afraid. >>> an arctic air, a big cold blast is hitting the country. tweet it. believe it. >>> say it isn't snow. an arctic blast is getting ready to hit much of the country, most of the country. what's coming up? >> looks like this will be the perfect gift for your holiday gift exchange. it's the scarf. you will need it. the coldest air of the season is on the way. we have had a few hints of winter across the plains states. here it comes, the coldest air sweeps in tuesday night, wednesday night across dakotas and minnesota. it won't be record cold. we may hit zero to five to ten below at the worst. the real feels will certainly be getting down there. it can be very cold. bundle up. by the end of the week, thursday and friday, here it is, coming to the east coast. temperatures dropping first in chicago. about ten to 20 degrees lower by thursday. we're down in the 20s and the wind will make it feel ten to 20 degrees colder. dallas will see temperatures dropping down to the mi

the first time we've had a president that will tweet his own tweets. there will certainly be press briefings but i think overall what people are going to have to get used, especially those in the media, is that mr. trump is not going to allow the media to control his narratives. even if his press secretary gets out and says something he doesn't agree with we can brace ourselves for a tweet to follow shortly after about what he really meant. this is an exciting time to see things change. you will see a lot of authenticity. you will see things that will be challenged, like they talked about his comments on nuclear war. >> it does seem like the american people do think that's quite refreshing to see the president-elect not yet the president, we'll see how that works out. but sean spicer did indicate that the tweeting will continue. the american people sort of feel like they're closer to the person running this country when he himself is putting out a message and it's not going through all of these different channels. >> there are a lot of benefit to that.

these tweets are certainly unprecedented. what isn't, though, is donald trump's rhetoric when it comes to nuclear weapons. i actually want to point out in an interview he did with the "new york times" in march where he said quote, the biggest problem to me in the world is nuclear and proliferation so vladimir putin making the point that donald trump using nukes in his speeches during the campaign is certainly valid. we did hear from the trump campaign or rather, the trump camp after that tweet came out. jason miller saying the tweet was specifically about proliferation when it comes to potential terrorist organizations getting their hands on nukes. despite that, we did hear from the spokesman for the rnc and the future press secretary for donald trump, sean spicer, on "new day" this morning not backing down when it comes to the sentiment of the tweet. listen to what he said. >> he said to her let it be an arms race in terms of building up our nuclear capabilities i guess against russia, let it be an arms race because we will

to tweet again.scue us. i think it was those cries that shined some light on what was going on in eastern aleppo. she has a massive following on twitter and social media. and there are going to be many, many people right now that are going to be happy to know that she is out of harm's way in turkey. >> muhammad lila, thank you. >>> the ongoing evacuation of eastern aleppo is still dire, though. it's women and children, hungry and cold are desperate to board those buses and escape the fighting. these are images of some of those evacuees alongside my next guest, filmmaker and actress carla ortiz has been on the ground in aleppo speaking with locals and capturing conditions in and around the city. carla now joins us live. good morning. >> good morning. thank you very much. for having me in your show. >> i think it's a most important story. before we dive into what you've been seeing in syria, tell americans why they should care what's happening in aleppo. >> you know, i think that many of us have been f

here is the tweet. chuck jones who is pres of united steel workers 1999 has done a terrible job representing workers. no wonder companies flee country." let's explain what's going on here. this man was on erin burnett's show and a short time right afterdonald trump is tweeting about him. >> right. donald trump is one who obviously watches the media and watches very carefully. chuck jones, lead of local steel workers 1999, one thing he was grateful for the 800 jobs trump was able to say but felt he was misleading in the major noubs he did last week. which was to say 1100 jobs of 1400 were saved. but the real math doesn't add up like that. it is 730 union jobs saved. total $800 save8 hundre00 saved. and carrier still getting rewards from the tax break even though hundreds of jobs are still going to go away. >> what's particularly interesting about this is the president elect of the united states clearly seems to be watching a lot of television news and responding almost in real time or shortly after to th

tweets that donald trump makes are going to be here. they're going to be aggressive and plenty. >> there's nothing wrong with twitter. the white house uses twitter. it's a question of what you put on twitter. i think secretary rice is right. this is bullying. it's just a regular american citizen. this is not somebody who is on his level in terms of power. but i do think, i said this when we walked off the set last night, last night he was very presidential and well behaved. he stayed on the prompter, and i said last night, tomorrow he's going to do something. that's what always happens, and this is it. >> we have to take a quick break. we'll be right back. >>> we're back talking about twitter and how the president-elect uses it, and the practice of mr. trump personalizing the players, powerful and not powerful, particularly this tweet about carrier. chuck jones he said, president of united steel workers 1999 has done a terrible job representing workers. no wonder they flee the country. we had chuck jones on at the top of the hour. >> wh

the tweeting won't stop.has three addictions, twitter, the red light that's on top of that camera there, he needs to be on tv. expect to see some form of donald trump show on some network. i totally believe this is going to happen now. and, and the rallies. he's going to have to be out there. these three things are not going to stop. and he's not going to be governing a lot, because he's going to be very much, the trump you showed at the beginning of the first segment. that's pure television. the way he makes this stuff up about we're going to get rid of obamacare, replace, there's nothing to replace it with. it's like he's sitting at the desk on "the apprentice" talking to meat loaf. he's either going to get tired of the job or screw up in some way, because a malignant narcissist who's also a sociopath, they filter everything through how is this going to be good for me and they end up breaking the law when they do that. so we don't know how this is all going to play out, but it's going to be bad for a lot of

take a look at a tweet from the president-elect. he tweeted as for un things will be different after januar january 20th. january 20th the date that he will assume the office of the presidency a date that can't come soon enough for a great many of his backers and great many people in israel. >>> traveling with the president in honolulu, kevin cork, fox news. >>> up next, thousands of people have been searching the black sea for signs of a russian plane that went down over the holiday weekend. the small clues investigators say they found so far. and scary moments inside a local fast food joint. police say guy gun put on store worker video police just released they want to you see. sean. >> couple games in action plus temple getting ready for their game against wake forest. the players talk about what they need to do to get the job done. that's coming up later in sports. ♪ >>> scary christmas for 19-year-old girl working at juniata park fast food restaurant much police say this guy walk into texas chicken and burgers on the 3900 block

he tweeted twice. the second tweet appearing more aggressive. saying the united states should let china keep the drone and not worry about getting it back. on sunday, it was the state-run media in china. their turn to weigh in on this. a state-run tabloid which is known for the provocative views on issues that really stood out to us. let's read you some of the comment that was written about the subject. it read in part, quote, the tone of a bystander fanning flames in the second tweet is worrisome that he may tweet the relationship with super powers as a game. given he is not in the white house. the official chinese rhetoric has been measured, but this restraint will not last when he officially becomes president if he tweets china the way he tweeted today. that matters because state-run newspapers in china is that. nothing gets published without the signoff of communist party censors. you may not hear the foreign affairs ministry get up and make statements, but this is a state-run newspaper with state views. the question is how will this affect

i want to read the tweets to you now.starts saying, my wonderful son eric will no longer be allowed to raise money for children with cancer, because of a possible conflict of interest with my presidency. isn't this a ridiculous shame? he loves these kids, has raised millionsing of dollars for them and now must stop. wrong answer. of course, this comes as there were criticism, a couple weeks ago, about ivanka trump potentially auctioning off some coffee time with her new york or washington, d.c. for charity nap plan was eventually scrapped. of course, in the backdrop of all this, we're waiting for that announcement from donald trump. originally scheduled for december 15th in which he would outline specifically how he would separate himself from his empire to avoid potential conflicts of interest. o ultimately the team pushed that back into january. >> they certainly did. appreciate it. thanks. bringing in my panel. susan page, "usa today," washington buf oh chief and betsy woodrow, for "the daily beast." and nothing in our

the tweets adding to the concern. that trump took a hard line against beijing on the campaign trail. the question here in china is whether this is just tough talk that appeals to president-elect trump's base or if it is a signal of real change to come in january. alison. >> trump let us know he would take aim at china and he is doing just that. cnn's alexandra field. thank you. >>> donald trump is taking unique approach to zeroing in on a new secretary of state. instead of narrowing the field of candidates, he is expanding it. mitt romney and rudy giuliani are still under consideration and david petraeus is also a top contender. now jon huntsman, former governor of utah is reportedly in the mix. the top aide says the search is widening. we have more from ryan nobles. >> reporter: it appears donald trump is expanding the field. listen to what kellyanne conway said about the search this weekend. >> among serious men and women who all of whom need to understand that their first responsibility as secretary of state would

in a final tweet, mr. trump agreed to hold that conference in the future to discuss cabinet picks and all topics. busy times. >> tweeting about that. hasn't held a news conference in some time to answer questions from reporters. >>> as phil mentioned, concerns in the senate about the likely pick for secretary of state and his close business ties to russia. some so great, he may not get past the hearing stage. manu raju spoke with democratic leader harry reid. reid says if the nomination makes it to the floor for a full vote, bipartisan opposition could very well kill it. >> i don't know if he can get 50 votes or not. it may be hard for him to do that. >> the reports that you are seeing about the russian connections concerned you in any way? >> it is in keeping with trump. s he's already stated he likes putin better than he likes obama. it's obvious he likes russia. that is concerning to the world and concerning to america and concerning to me. >> we will look for that later today about the official nominat

when your mum was tweeting, was she tweeting your words or tweeting her words? me and mum.s the twitter account was bana's idea, but admits it is a way to combat the regime. i think there now was a big fight out there. and i think our twitter was a weapon. your twitter was a weapon? yes. but the tweets attracted threats, and made it harderfor the family to join the mass evacuation of eastern aleppo. fatima got bana on to one of the buses disguised as a boy. today, the last opposition fighters retreated from their former stronghold, and by the evening the syrian army was in control of the entire city, for the first time in more than 11.5 years. just days after escaping all this, bana dreams of returning. translation: i was happy to leave, but sad at the same time. i wish i could go back to aleppo, go back home. i want to live in my house, because i love it, even if it had been bombed. i love my house. in english: we shall overcome some day. before saying goodbye, bana sang us a song about childhood and stolen freedoms. # i am a child with something to say...# 0ne voice, rais

there were questions after that tweet.part of the new white house communications team, he said, president-elect trump was referring to the threat of nuclear proliferation and the need to prevent it, particularly terrorist organizations. he has emphasized the need to improve and modernize our deterrent capability. also this comes on the heels of us hearing from putin talking about coming up with systems to overcome deterrents systems and missile shield systems. >> there's a real risk to making policy 140 characters at a time. we're seeing it. we don't know what the president meant. did he mean more warheads, going back to buildup? there's so many different ways you can interpret what president-elect trump said there. the transition team is having to explain what he did.ç my view is it's better to do it in the reverse. it may be the case people love this because donald trump is going around. there's no question if you take the totality of the kinds of things that donald trump has done, he is sending a message he gets stuff

he tweeted this.press would treat me accurately and honorably, i would have far less reason to tweet. sadly, i don't know if that will ever happen. you worked in the west wing for four years. >> i don't know that it is about that. >> newt gingrich suggested he can simply ignore what he calls the mainstream media if he wants to. >> look, i don't know any president that loves the press who covers him because the job of the media is to take a critical look at the administration. but donald trump is epically thin skinned and his notion is if you write nice things about me or if you say nice things about me, then i will play with you. if not, i will go over your head and tell my version of the truth. there is real danger in this for our democracy because part of the check on unbridled power is a free press. and for a president to say, you know what, i don't really believe in that, is a little bit frightening. >> could he go over the heads if he wants to, go over the heads of the press and deal in other way

that was quick, too. >> he had been tweeting about israel and tweeting about u.n.this inappropriate for the president-elect trump to be coming out so forcibly on matters of foreign policies before he takes office. >> there is no doubt about it that the constitution is very clear, we have one president at one time. he's the head of state barack obama, and he's the head of state until january 20th. it is confusing when you have the soon to be in p cocoming le is one thing. it is more confusing than anyone else. fast forward eight years from now when donald trump is leading the white house, i think he would want his successor to be quiet too until january 20th. donald trump needs to be careful of what he's doing here because he maybe setting a precedent that may come back and bite him eight years from now. >> as you see from your screen is speaking now and we are monitoring that for news and robert, is there a chaens chance do you think -- i posted that question earlier. she says no. what do you think? >> i don't know. that's a riddle that previous preside presidents

then there's the tweet about nuclear weapons where trump tweets the united states must greatly strengthennd expand its nuclear cape ability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nuks. we should tell china we don't want the drone they stole back, let them keep it. they come out of nowhere and auchbl we find that they were not -- now, these tweets did not follow any consultation with his advise advisers. >> yeah. well, you know what's interesting is inside d.c. there's been a lot of talk recently about whether or not this is trump's take on richard nixon's quote unquote man man theory of diplomacy, sort of the idea that a democratic leader, a popularly elected leader must appear to be a little unstable when dealing with auto cats and dictators. and you know there's been a lot of talk about that. and if you assume that, then there's calculation behind it. there's reasoning behind it. but this doesn't seem to have those pieces. you know, as you mentioned, this does not always come in consultation with his advisers. it seems to be a little breakneck. i mean, we just talked

like when you are a great time you never tweet, right. >> i know. that's -- i tweet all the time.nd that is true. there have been so many nights where i've done some tweeting, you know, before going bed. passing out. and you wake up in the morning and you are like what have i done? >> yes. >> before you go to bed everyone that's tweeting at you. like what? oh you hate these people. the losers. you wake up. maybe they were white. maybe that is not something i should have shared with a hundred thousand people. >> nice humble brag. >> it's actually 113. trump -- you know, i always feel embarrassed when i put my own personal drama on the internet. i think trump should be a little more careful to not put our country's drama on the internet so they know when our country is going through something. i the same level of embarrass that i have he should have and maybe a little more. >> is there something here -- if something is happening that's big he'll tweet as the distraction. a shiny bobble over here. >> it is genius in a sense that he's tooking -- tookin' -- taken. >> i'll take taken. >

if that is what he is saying with this tweet thenit is what he is saying with this tweet then it seemsama's current policy which is to modernise america's ageing arsenal, but if thatis america's ageing arsenal, but if that is what he was trying to say, he did so in a way that caused quite a lot of surprise and alarm. there isa a lot of surprise and alarm. there is a difference between modernising and expanding and it is the word x band which drew a lot of attention? that is right. —— the word expand. president obama has been all about reducing stockpiles. some have criticised this because of creating a new cruise missile and updating a nuclear bomb. there are some changes which people say could increase an arms race but it is not within president obama's policy to expand nuclear weapons in the world. he entered office talking about a planet without nuclear weapons. so when mrtrump planet without nuclear weapons. so when mr trump tweets he wants to strengthen and expand they question it. and if he tweets without any policy discussion or policy details or even a position he —— a position

i mean a tweet, shapes a tone, a tone shapes an investment. >> a tweet shapes a tone. who said that sir john templeton. >> i just made that up. >> if you're an investor in the companies. >> why do you think the market has been running since the election, a perception that the tone is different towards business and the -- >> okay. but it was an election, wasn't a tweet. >> on the specific -- >> the same. >> on the point about biotech, synthesizing what you're saying the stocks are way down vis-a-vis what hillary clinton tweeted and as josh pointed out she's not president. there's great value in biotech. >> under armour inking the ten-year deal with major league baseball and nike got an upgrade too. the sports trade just ahead in the blitz. we love knowing what's happening. so the nest cam security camera looks after things and alerts your phone if something's up. hey, need a glass? no matter what it is. hey, dad. ♪ >>> let's try to get to some more movers before we run. under armour officially does the deal with major league baseball. i asked kevin plank about when he w

so after trump tweeted that the u.s. capabilities, you then tweeted that trump is trying to distract. trying to distract from the russian hacking with bizarre tweets. you want to clarify that or -- there's your tweet, keep trying to distract. this is to make you forget about russia hacking our democracy. you believe this is part of a coordinated campaign of sorts? >> thanks for having me on. good morning. i'm alarmed like most of the men and women in armed services who serve our country so bravely that donald trump wants to increase the nuclear weapons that the country has when we already have more than any other country. i also see this as a pattern. where when the heat gets hot, he wants to move the pot to a different burner. and we saw this a couple weeks ago when we were all talking about his conflicts of interesting and he puts out a bizarre flag burning tweet and tries to divert us. i'm concerned about his thoughts on nuclear weapons, but i also believe that a real issue that needs to be addressed and donald trump

let's look at donald trump's tweets about that. my wonderful son eric will no longer be allowed to raise money for children with cancer because of a possible conflict of interest with my presidency. isn't it a ridiculous shame? he loves these kids, raised millions of dollars for them and now must stop. wrong answer. it underscores just how complicated the trump family's business and charitable ties and entanglements are, and the president-elect said he's going to talk about all of this during a press conference in january. of course, that press conference was initially schedule to be held several weeks ago but was postponed until after the new year. >> or maybe the ridiculous shame is offering up events, access to the president and the president's children in exchange for those donations. it's not necessarily that you can't raise money for children in need. it's how you're doing it. thank you so much. enjoy the good weather in florida. i want to dig into this deeper, talking about president-elect donald trump answering the, quote,

i tweet all day long. struggle every time i send a tweet trying to make sure it won't be interpreted 50 different ways. and i'm not president, and nothing bad happens if i get it wrong, but when he tweets about a domestic manufacturer making airplanes for us, and he tweets and their market value plunges, it's not the company, it's everyone invested in the company in stocks. >> david, that's all of the time we have for tide, always good to have you join us. >> coming up, the u.n. security council is set for a show down as benjamin netanyahu is urging the united states to veto any resolutions. see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. proven to help the majority of people find clear or almost clear skin. 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance at 3 months. while the m

th that same moment christie teetee again tweets popped up on herpn twitter feed.so she talked about what maureee just said and then guess whatt happened? christie tee again, okay, i'm done. >> let me. me. do your thing. >> serious whole you're doneus w with that red dress this week's spike can i have it please? >> so then christie tee again ta says i'm done. de direct message me your address. and win a short amount ofunt of time --me - >> wow! >> -- she zen her the dress.hez there's a picture of rebecca anc the dress right there. tre >> that is awfully cool.ul >> she was shocked.he sho >> i'll bet. b if that's all you got to do tott get a christie tee again dress,, steve, let's get on it.t. start tweeting. >> dear mr. zuckerberg.. >> she got from james packer. >> exactly. that money is no longer usefulsu to you. >> sam, model, rumore boyfriend posted them in bed together with heit the deer filter and then deletel it. >> in bed together. >> chose seeded up in bed that t was background of the snap. >> i -- or deleted after she said wait a minute. look at that pictur

he sent out >> we know his fondness for tweeting. as you can see this is the hottest story at 6:30. tweet us what's on your mind using #5at630. >>> the countries with the largest nuclear arsenals should take the initiative. >> until the world to its senses that hasn't been the policy in nearly 40 years. his comments followed a similar one by vladimir putin about his own country's. >>> niles standish starts us offs this evening from the hill. let me ask you first off to reaction to donald trump's tweet. this is -- work a reversal of u.s. policy, what's your gauge of how they reacted >> i think there was a reaction all around and i think the ron for that is the language that surrounds is so carefully phrased. a lex con for that issue and donald trump comes out on twitter makes this statement that no one knows exactly what it means and that just sort of puts the cat among the pitch jens as they say >> >> looks like perhaps is an extending an olive branch perhaps. what are your thoughts on that? do you think there's a legitimate wanting
