terrorism, the idea that it's a great diplomatic achievement of the administration, but now to end the administrati with a diplomatic assault on israel when there hasn't been one united nations resolution against for supporting all of this -- the carnage in aleppo. remember hezbollah is iranian-terror proxy army right on israel's northern border. we have parents that have to worry about the hundreds of thousands of rockets that are on the lebanese israeli border and there's no condemnation of that and samantha power, by the way, should pay the most important price here, obama's time is done as long as kerry, she made her name opposing genocide and now a bipartisan to genocide, everything she accused people of previously, she's a bystandard of genocide. sandra: good for you to be here this morning. coming up. it could be messy end for northeast. heavy snow, forecast to round up the year next. netflix giving participants a belated birthday gift. the new year's gift clock that gets your kids to bed early sandra: mourning the death of debbie reynolds who died one day later of her daughter carrii fisher. cheryl: she died of a broken heart, that's the question here? it's a very sad news to report. a

help him make the case against isis, things that help him align himself more closely with countries like russia, who he believes is fighting terrorism in a way that he wants the united states to emulate. what that means for -- what that could potentially mean for u.s. foreign policy is that while there's a lot of concern about how russia and syria and iran are prosecuting a war in aleppo against, in many cases, civilians and ngo workers, there's concern about that, but trump has not expressed any concern about that at all. in fact, he's put more of a premium on this idea of fighting terrorism no matter how you do it. >> right. well, but that's -- it can achieve the same goal though, right. the president-elect has decided to keep it simple. clarissa has been covering this in a very different way. she understands the complexity of it. it informs her journalism. so seeing it in the context of a roman historian makes sense. for the president-elect, he's not burdened by that kind of complexity. for him, he sees all these things as the same thing, bad guys doing bad things. is that the right approach for the united states? >> well, look, i think your last guest actually n
