this representative serves as a colonel in the us air force reserves. e flying our tankers with us pilots, we're refuelling these jets of the saudi led military coalition and then they're dropping bombs. but if you look at the law of war in international law, you can be guilty of aiding and abetting war crimes, so if you're in that direct military operation, refuelling a jet that then commitsa warcrime, my view is that opens up the us to great risk and we need to stop doing it. this week the white house released a provisional statement following the funeral bombing. for the first time since the war began they're blocking the supply of precision munitions to saudi arabia, but the refuelling of coalition jets, which only the united states has the capacity to do, will continue. no current us official would give me an interview, but a recently retired senior state department ambassador, who worked in yemen during the first year of the war, agreed to talk to me. i don't believe that saudi arabia is guilty of war crimes and i don't think the us or the uk for t

compete it, maybe only about some of these requirements, maybe you could get the cost down, but the us air force by the way has developed requirements to air force one , to professional communicators and security people in the white house, develop those requirements so if you were to strip away those requirements you could get because back to that approach again and the new team will get a full scan for that and determine. on the f 35, we certainly had a history of crossover runs and problems, there's no doubt about that but if you look at recent years, the f 35 cost has been coming down. it can then be approaching the per claim cost will soon be approaching a fourth generation plane so that's a pretty good deal, fifth-generation and fourth-generation prices but again, the past is the past and it was a difficult past and were focused on the future and once again has all of these facts are presented, then the new team, the new president and make up his mind quite you think they might get in there and see the details and think about it differently? >> i think the more details you are exposed to, i

us. he's a u.s. air force pilot. he served in both iraq and afghanistan. he served in both the house and energy commerce committee. thanks for joining us. so we all remember this very famous donald trump quote from the campaign trail. >> i know all about isis, more than the generals do, believe me. i would bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. >> why the switch? why do you think he's filling his key government posts, several of them, with retired generals and admirals potentially? >> el with, i think what you see is the difference between campaign. obviously donald trump ran a very unique campaign, some of the things he said and the ways he did it, versus governing. when the weight the presidency is on your shoulders. you realize, i'm president-elect, i've got to put together a team. then you start, in a very serious way, looking, you know, who's the best for this position. there's a lot of hysteria over the number of generals he's putting in there. i think it's important to remember that, you know, they're not in the military currently. they're retired. but some

we knew that assad's army and air force would use chemical weapons. that happened. we hit a red line. we didn't do anything about it. we could have destroyed the air force. i don't know why we think we deserve a seat at the table at this moment. even though i want one. >> exactly. >> i think our leverage is diminished but our stature in the middle east will continue, it will be important and i think you will see a change in direction and hopefully a more positive way forward. >> 2016 is almost over, dana perino. >> i know. i can't say what i said at the break, can i? >> i was trying to get do you that. >> this year can -- you go take a rest. >> yeah. been an amazing year. thanks for joining us, honey. good to have you. >> president obama is ramping up moving detainees out of gaom ba. >> we are going washington, d.c. and we are going to drain the swamp. the real gift isn't what's inside the box... it's what's inside the person who opens it. give ancestrydna, the simple dna test that can reveal their ethnic origins. order now at ancestrydna.com our progressive direct r

he threw a monkey wrench into the air force's plans to replace the two 747s that replace the primary aircraft for air force one. went to boeing and said can you develop us a couple new generation of 747s. boeing gave them a contract of $700 million to research and development. further develop these. no air planes from been constructed. when trump found out the total cost of the program was going to be $4 billion he, he took to twitter to say cancel the whole thing. boeing says it is trying to keep costs down.nts these aircraft's we will see where it goes. trump continues search for secretary of state rex tillerson exxon mobil ceo ducked in the back door. didn't get any pictures of him. this is indication trump is not going to stick with politicians or military leaders as potential secretary of defenses to reach out to the business community to do that. also met with another businessman created 100 billion-dollar technology fund. he plans on spending according to donald trump 50 billion of that in the united states that could create some 50,000 jobs. one other piece of business that we expect to hear about the next 24 to 48 hours. terry branstad, the gov

us. we work on air force one because it's important to our country.e'll make sure he gets the best capability and that it's done affordably. >> in a statement, lockheed martin's ceo called the meeting productive. said she conveyed lockheed's commitment to delivering an affordable aircraft to u.s. military and allies. looks like trump got what he wanted from boeing. lowering the costs on that. it's so unusual. he's in mar-a-lago, on vacation, negotiating with these big companies, boeing and lockheed, who he called out on twitter. and getting a better deal for taxpayers. >> i would say with trump, the conversation always goes along the line of anything he says, the first salvo is always jumping off point for that negotiation. it's the whole part of the deal. >> but he's following through with it. look how many companies and businesses he has already engaged before even taking office. >> yes. >> i think the idea with the defense companies, dom, you know better than i, that the outlook is bright. trump promised to spend more beefing up defense. many count

air. so far this has worked quite well. we have been operating largely in different parts of syria. i say largely, not exclusively. , it has been troubling to us will speak for the u.s. air force, is that there is quite a gap with russia. they say one thing and do the other. they said they entered the fray in syria to help fight isil and terrorism, but they have propped up the government. there has been very little action against isil. that is a major safety gap. they say they are using precision guided munitions to take care and not to hurt innocent humans. in fact, 80% to 90% are the dumb blonds. there is a lack of trust between the russian and the u.s. most obviously, aleppo has fallen, but within days of that isil over rand paul miral the united states when is the bombing around palm era. the russians and syrians, upon fleeing palm era as they were about to be overrun, left behind equipment. artillery tracks, tanks. and we are going in it now and destroying that with a variety mq-1's,aft to include in a number of other of aircrafts as well. the makeup of the battlefield does shift daily. >> what was your perspective on the proposal for increased military coordination betwe
