We have republicans here in the senate essentially saying to the democrat colleagues, lets show the same courtesy and seriousness with which the senate considered mr. obamas inner circle. >> bill: for more on all this now fox news digital policy editor chris. chuck schumer said if republicans think they can jam through a slate of nominees without a fair hearing process theyre sorely mistaken. what is this? is this going to be a battle or is this just bluster? >> a little of both. democrats will ...

Than he does. without probably realizing it, president obama may have given donald trump some clout he can use against putin as they do try to go forward. again, i dont trust putin, but i think a skilled negotiator may find a way to work with putin because putin, i think most of all, he wants some kind of a semblance of the old soviet glory. we cant give him that as far as power. we can maybe find a way to give him that, restore some of russias luster, but without in any way diminishing us and a...

Put on them have really hurt them. theres a lot of bluster and verbiage and what whatever you want to call it from putin but it actually hasnt benefited the russian people. >> i think thats right. youve got to look at this two ways. first as youre suggesting theres an economic piece of this sanctions might have actually impelled vladimir putin, who has to at least think at some level about his domestic constituency to move forward to try to develop a new relationship. but lets move beyond that a...

Members, controversially attending that meeting along with lieutenant general michael flynn. they have this warm relationship on the one hand, him being the first foreign dignitary to visit president-elect trump, but also trump has had tough talk about japan, maybe even closing down some of the u.s. military presence in the country. how do we square the circle? is this just bluster from president-elect trump? are we going to see a det deterioration of this relationship from the president-elect? ...

Used nuclear weapons since 1945. when should it? >> diseaseit is a last stance. joining us now our panel. you pose a question today, how much of this is mere bluster? and how much of it bodes return to the days of the dr. strangelove? >> i think it is mainly bluster. first of all, i think it is a mistake to take these tweets, which he puts out there with some kind of disorder really, some compulsion disorder, and tweet them over some kind of text to poor over like scholars. that said, his late...

Explain to us, this is just he generally means that the united states needs to strengthen its military capacity, because everybody else does the same. so we could be very worried. it could not be worried. i think the worry comes from the fact that first of all, vladimir putin certainly doesnt take those kind of threats or information lightly, and he already went onto say it doesnt surprise him, and russia, in fact, has been increasing its military capability and nuclear capability all throughout...

The time that it was in the 70s, the 80s or even the 90s. >> so then what does -- michael what does putin want? >> i thought davids point was very good about giving historical perspective. i would add one more detail which david knows well which is that under the new start treaty our long-range warheads will come down to about 1550. well still have another 3,000 or so each which just makes davids point more strongly. we have huge overkill on both sides. both sides are modernizing their forces ba...

Her mom and herself. immigration attorneys are telling their clients to prepare for the worst. >> were preparing the way that we can respond both legally and through community activism, through organizing the challenge the policies he will implement. >> dreamers are digging in their heels, participating in protests. hoping his election talk was just bluster. recently he softened his tone about dreamers to "time" magazine saying, quote, were going to work something out thats going to make people ...

Between the republican party or particularly on foreign policy and on approach to russia and donald trump there is the tillerson nomination as well as the possibility of sanctions and the investigation into the hacking, which you hear a number of congressional republicans, including very prominent ones voicing support for as donald trump opposes those investigations. so in the end, i think that probably tillerson will be confirmed. but the fascinating thing will be what the trade-offs, if any ar...

Are. if donald trump is able to get his way, tillerson confirmed, no additional sanctions, no real sort of aggressive inquiry into the hacking, that will be an indication that donald trump -- its donald trumps republican party, and he is going to face very little resistance. >> howard, all he has to do is lose one republican on the committee. and then the nomination doesnt get through the committee. if they lose three republicans on the senate floor, then they lose this nomination. >> this is th...
