Five, its eric polling, and eric is outnumbered. Welcome. Thank you. And i am so honored to be on this couch on this so important day, veterans day, what an important day to be here. Im very proud. Thank you to all our heroes who we owe a debt of gratitude, but thank you to every person who is serving and the families of those who have served. Kennedy eric, you are the author of the book, wake up, america. 9 has america woken up . The very interesting thing, about a year and a half ago i started writing that book, and i asked a good friend of mine to read the book and put a quote on the back of the book, and he did. He said push back on the. C. Culture in this the p. C. Culture, and its amazing, he did. Kennedy we have much to discuss, so lets start off. Making way for the Trump Presidency, the transition now underway as president elect donald trump begins to lay out his agenda following a whirlwind of a day in our nations capital, first making peace with president obama. We saw that on the couch yesterday. Sitting down and shaking hands with the man he will replace on january 20th. Both leaders setting aside their differences as they pledged to Work Together for a smooth transition. Then mr. Trump off to the other side of pennsylvania avenue, going to capitol hill where he met with the republican speaker of the house, paul ryan, and the president elect also meeting with Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell, both Republican Leaders promising to work swiftly with mr. Trump to get their shared agenda passed. President elect trump giving a glimpse of his first term plans as he was trailed by a horde of reporters on capitol hill. Watch this. [inaudible conversations] people will be very, very happy. Whats the top three . [inaudible] very strong on immigration [inaudible] health care, and were looking at jobs. Big league jobs. Kennedy all right. It seems as though, eric, thats where he has to start. Those voters, especially in the midwest, who gave him somewhat of a mandate, and i think the economy and jobs is where you start. How does he do that . Well, i think, first, you know, he was leaving the meeting with the president , someone said what is your, you know, First Initiative going to be, and he threw some things out there. But i think what he did, he promised this massive 600day campaign that he was going to, a, build a wall, repeal obamacare and repeal all of president obamas executive orders. I think thats what hes going to do day one. A lot of these things he can make the claim, well, well actually create jobs. Kennedy yeah. The big one though, and i think this is going to happen right away, and i think this is going to probably be bipartisan or nonpartisan accepted is that trillion dollar infrastructure bill that he says he floated, he said he would like to spend a trillion dollars on infrastructure going ten years forward. Kennedy yeah. Man, what a great idea. Republicans will probably push back on it, but at the end of the day concern on the paidfor part of it, but its a great idea. Kennedy especially some of those conservative caucuses in congress who are the ones who tend to watch the bottom line. But how does a president do it . Is it a matter of proactively creating programs that create jobs which, you know, pretty much every politician loves, or this be a president that actually allows government to get out of the way . Melissa i think thats what its about, its about taking the shackles off immediately, and i think thats easily done in striking through a lot of the regulation that came especially at the end. You can do that with the flash of a pen. Its about an optimism in the market where people believe that donald trump is going to free up the economy and free up business to do what it does best, and he can show that right away by peeling back some of the regulation. He can also i mean, he can fix the tax code pretty quickly and get companies to repatriate dollars, bring them back to the u. S. And hire people. Those are things that can be done quickly and would have a big impact. I think he should do that first because it would take a second to feel the effects of that, and thats what people are looking for. You need to get started. Kennedy yeah. And he had those meetings yesterday with leader mcconnell and speaker ryan. He talked about making a more friendly environment for business in this country. Thats what you talk about day in and day out dagen ive said it, his candidacy, and he didnt express it like this but to erics point, who makes a better decision about your money, your business . Do you, the business owner, operator or individual, or does the government . Melissa amen. Dagen that is the overarching message of his candidacy and now his presidency. Did you see paul ryan on with bret baier last night . He looked like he had just found a red rider air rifle under the christmas tree. [laughter] he is fired up. And it was, i thought, legitimately excited about the possibilities of what a Trump Presidency means for tax reform, for a 15 Corporate Tax rate which would definitely spur business. And i dont think that people fully comprehend the number of rules and regulations that came out of the obama white house. Melissa yeah. Dagen not just obamacare, not just doddfrank, crushing the coal industry, but there were more than 600 economically significant rules totaling about threequarters of a trillion dollars. That works out to be 2300 for every american in terms of the regulatory costs. Kennedy yeah, and, i mean, you see how the economy has been crushed under the sheer mathematics of that kind of regulation. So what do you do first . Be whats first on your agenda as president elect trump . Ebony i think president elect trump has to lead with opportunities. He talked about this notion of bringing back these manufacturing jobs particularly to the midwest which largely are responsible for him going to the white house. And i think thats a great opportunity. I think that is a place where he can start, he can talk about whether its tariffs, really being kind of a strong arm on this America First message that says, you know what . Were not going to get the short end of the stick anymore when it comes to china and other places, mexico. And he can say, you know what . Theres going to be an incentive to build things in america again, and i think that will be something thats going to be really welcomed. Can i throw something out here . From the minute donald trump started to win the election, remember there was a big dip in the dow on tuesday night. Kennedy absolutely. We were all watching that. The dow made two record high closes the last two days. Its up alltime highs melissa were talking about this kennedy yeah, were going to talk about this. [laughter] hold on, my friend. It takes in what melissa said about regulation, what dagen said about taxes, what ebony said about jobs and what weve all said about a different type of leader in d. C. , and thats really whats happening here. You watch with, its good for business. Melissa yeah. If its good for business, its good for jobs. Ebony and its multipronged, i know this spending is going to get pushback from the gop, but theres one opportunity here with infrastructure and dagen i do think its funny because president obama never gave a speech about the economy that he didnt talk about Infrastructure Spending melissa yeah, theres a [inaudible conversations] meantime, president obama says his top priority is an orderly transition as he struck a gracious tone during his meeting with the president elect, but later press secretary josh earn was asked whether the president still held the same views about his successor that he expressed during the campaign in which he called mr. Trump temperamentally unfit and uniquely unqualified to be president. Listen. The president s views havent changed, he stands by what he said on the campaign trail. He had an opportunity to make his argument, he made that argument vigorously. He made that argument in states all across the country. But the American People decided. The election is over. The president didnt get to choose his successor, the American People did. Melissa see, thats interesting, eric. I respect that. Hes saying he sticks by what he said before, but hes striking a conciliatory tone. I think theres something richly ironic in what paul ryan did because he basically abandoned him at the end and is now reaping the benefits because he gets the presidency, house and senate. Maybe thats how they delivered all three of those things. Interesting to see every isnt it ironic, now you have a Trump Presidency with the senate and the house. He could be the most powerful republican president in decades. Melissa right. Maybe even many, many decades. Melissa so ironic. I dont like this though. I dont like where the same day president obama says or within hours of president obama saying, hey, we need to strike a conciliatory tone, we need to Work Together, and then josh earnest goes back to throwing daggers at donald trump melissa he wasnt throwing daggers. He stands by his original comment that donald trump is temperamentally melissa whats he supposed to say, i was lying . Theres a time for that. Let this presidency breathe. Nancy pelosi didnt take shots, Hillary Clinton didnt take shots, president Obama Kennedy i dont think president obama thought he was going to be in the position to have to welcome donald trump to the white house dagen he made a joke about it on jimmy kimmel. He read a tweet from donald trump about barack obama is the worst president ive ever had, and he said, well, at least i know what its like to be president kennedy yeah. I dont think he thought i was going to be in that position, but they both beat Hillary Clinton. Ebony i dont think it was a dagger. I think, like, six times this is really a pressdriven thing. They were really, to me, poking the nest on that one. And they must have asked him, six, seven times, does the president still think hes unfit, the worst thing since sliced bread, and i think finally earnest out of dont forget, weve had two nights of protests. Weve had people breaking glass and calling for in some cases violence against the president elect, and josh earn, he just shouldnt have gone there. [inaudible conversations] dagen a week ago was tying donald trump to the ku klux klan. So people are not going to forget that. It was a week ago. Theyre not going to forget that, and i will add one thing. President bush has said nothing in eight years. He has been quiet, and he showed class, respect and grace. Can president obama do the same thing at least in the next four years . Because he likes the spotlight like madonna, and i dont know [laughter] ebony i think that he can, and i think this president obama didnt just tie the kkk to donald trump, they endorsed him publicly. So thats not necessarily on president obama. We are not relitigating what president obama thinks about donald trump, he said that plainly. The people have spoken, we accept that as an administration or he could have said, look, the president just said we need to unite the country. He could have left it at that kennedy exactly. These are two politicians, because donald trump is now for better or worse a politician, they understand each other. Ebony yes, i agree with that. Kennedy very similar ways. And in that josh earnest could have said, you know what . These campaigns get tough and emotional and personal, and there is more on the line for this job than any other in the world. And left it at that without saying, you know, it was very passiveaggressive to say, well, you know, the president still thinks hes unfit for the presidency. At this point it doesnt matter, so dont even bring it up. Melissa all right. Another night of antitrump protests spiraling out of control in one major city. [gunfire] Melissa Police making dozens of arrests after angry protesters threw bricks and firecrackers at police and vandalized buildings. New reaction from the trump team and what they want president obama and Hillary Clinton to do. Plus, president elect trump about to make some tough decisions. Who he could pick for his top cabinet posts and whether their appointments will help him bridge the divide. All finished. Umm. You wouldnt want your painter to quit part way. I think you missed a spot. So when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day . Aleve, live whole not part. Painter you want this color over the whole house . Dagen Donald Trumps team calling on president obama or Hillary Clinton to speak out against calls for Political Violence after an antitrump riot erupted in the streets of portland last night where protesters threw bricks and firecrackers at police officers, vandalizing local businesses, damaging cars. Things were more peaceful in other parts of the country as thousands also filled the streets again from dallas to new york prompting president elect donald trump to initially tweet, quote just had a very open and successful president ial election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair. But he changed his tone this morning writing, quote love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud. Eric bolling, is this what the next four years is going to look like . No, i think itll look like this until it either starts raining or snowing, and then these little babies will go back home kennedy like they did in occupy wall street. The protests during the very early primaries, remember those . They were protesting in california, in michigan. Look, get over it. This is the process. This is democracy. If you have a problem with dems accuracy, get out and democracy, get out and vote and get things changed, and then if you protest, protest peacefully. You dont have a right to break a window or to do what youre seeing right there dagen you know what . Thanks to Antonin Scalia in part, they have a right under the First Amendment to burn the american flag, but its a stupid, idiotic idea, and its disrespectful. I totally agree. I wear the flag every day for a reason, especially on this day, but go ahead and protest. Im all for it, just dont kennedy yeah. You cant protest in places like north korea and china. I mean, thats for sure. And it is a sacred right to gather peacefully. But, you know, i know a lot of people in Law Enforcement in oregon in the Sheriffs Office and the Portland Police department, my brother was a cop there for a long time, dont go after the police. And be dont go after Small Businesses in portland, you know . Its like this election was about people who want Something Different because their lives arent working particularly economically. And when you go and you burn be down these buildings and you break windows, its a big hassle for mom and pop stores who are working like crazy to stay in business. And its about these anarchists that have shown up since the 1999 wto riots dagen before we move on, i want to get something bill oreilly talked about last night, because he thinks theres something more deepseeded and dangerous going on. Listen to this. Is there a civil war brewing in the usa . This is the subject of this evenings topics. Here we honor protest, but increasingly we are seeing people who want our system destroyed. If you hurt someone, destroy something or promote anarchy, you then become a danger to the republic. That kind of stuff needs to be punished and quickly. Melissa i mean, this whole idea, ive heard people on our network saying there is no evidence there are paid protesters, there absolutely are. I have seen the ads on craigs list where theyre offering to pay people to show up and protest. I mean, you have the right to do that, i guess, but it is the idea that this isnt a naturallyoccurring, organic outburst where people are so upset that theyre taking to the street together in unison. I mean, theyre being rallied together on craigs list and paid to show up and do this. So, i mean, thats worth taking a look at. Kennedy i think if youre going to protest, you should have to show your i voted sticker. Ebony i woke up wednesday morning feeling incredibly american, because that is what democracy looks like. We all had an opportunity to express our political preference, and donald trump was the will of the American People. And i understand that there are people across this country grieving around that, theyre sad about it just like there were people grieving in 2008, and people were very sad in many parts of this country with president obamas election, and i understood that. Let me finish this one point. Peaceful protest is a fantastic, constitutionallyprotected right in this country. Violation, to your point, eric, is not. In fact, its criminal. And i am going to personally put out a charge to president obama, because i think he is most uniquely positioned to address this issue about oreillys point about a civil war. I think the president has to be one of the most important, critical steps in maintaining a level of decency and understanding. May i add another group . Ebony yes. The media. B eastbound absolutely, yes. The Mainstream Media kennedy you read my mind. Theyre crying, theyre heart broken, they cant believe this happened. Instead of saying, hey, this is the system, this is democracy, he won fair and square, stop it, instead theyre feeding the ebony thats what im saying with josh earnest yesterday. They were poking him. I think the media, the press was wanting to see this trump v. Obama thing, and its nasty. Dagen what would the headlines have looked like if Hillary Clinton had won and youd had one protest by Trump Supporters . Kennedy and one act of violence . Dagen racist, ragefilled trump protesters how about wikileaks exposing the fact that some of the violence at the trump rallies was actually paid violence . Melissa right. [inaudible conversations] dagen let me just finish the thought. It would have been people who cant live with a woman being president. Were already seeing that. Jennifer lawrence wrote that this country was founded on immigration, this is that actress in case you dont know who she is, and today the only people who feel safe that their rights are recognized and respected are white men. Melissa thats not true. Dagen i know its not true. [laughter] melissa as for the journalists crying that you dont like i actually like that because i think theyre showing the American People where their bias actually is so that they can see straight up. Kennedy and you can see right through it. And by the way, why not . Why not approach this with a little bit of respect and curiosity . You dont have to agree with the outcome. You dont have to cheer the results. But as journalists, people should be asking why . Why did this happen . Who are the people that felt so underserved by the establishment . And, you know, maybe the protesters out there have a lot in common with the people who voted because they all want to see dagen those people who were disaffected went out and voted for trump, and i wonder if those dopes burning flags voted. Thats my only question. A high stakes decision for the president elect, mr. Trump preparing to appoint his cabinet members. Who should he choose . And will there be any surprises . Plus, the Dow Jones Industrial average hitting new alltime highs after mr. Trumps win despite many on wall street warning that stocks would tank, they would go to hell in a hand basket. Will the rally continue, and what could his victory mean for your money . See me. See me. Dont stare at me. See me. See me. See me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. Im not contagious. See me to know that. I wont 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 majority saw 90 clearance. Do not use if you are allergic to cosentyx. Before starting, you should be tested for tuberculosis. An increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. Such as fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. Or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. If you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. Serious allergic reactions may occur. See me. See me. See me. On my way. Find clear skin. And a clearer path forward. For a different kind of medicine, ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. But dad, youve got. Tes are probably gonna double. Allstate. With accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Smart kid. Indeed. Its good to be in, good hands. And i finally found our big idaho potato truck. Its been touring the country telling folks about our heart healthy idaho potatoes, americas favorite potatoes, and donating to local charities along the way. But now its finally back home where it belongs. Aw man. Hey, wait up. Where you goin . Here we go again. Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path when the ship comes in by the hollies and the seagulls theyll be smilin and the rocks on the sand its so peaceful out here. Yeah. Introducing the new turbocharged volkswagen alltrack with 4motion® allwheel drive. Soon to be everywhere. Kennedy welcome back. This is outnumbered, glad to have you on the couch. President elect donald trump now has some tough choices to make. He is in new york today deciding who he wants to join his cabinet. Theres talk that top positions could go to some of his main surrogates including Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich, ben carson and former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. Some of them asked about whether theyd accept a position. Any one position youd prefer . Right now im pretty happy where i am, so it would have to be, it would have to be something where i believe that only i could do that have you been asked to take a position . Were, were discussing these things. You know, i personally feel that you can do a lot from outside, but if that were the only way that it could be done, you know, obviously im going to do what needs to be done to assist. Kennedy all right. Three of those four top names have, of course, been one lucky guys on the couch. [laughter] im going to turn to our luckiest guy today, its fridays eric bolling. Eric, lets talk about the people who have been mentioned in contention. Rudy giuliani, Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich and ben carson. Start with those four. Where do you see them . Look, i think rudys a huge asset. By the way, donald trump, very, very loyal to the people who have been loyal to him. There were some rough goes, you know, campaign issues, bumps that these people stood by him ebony oh, you think . [laughter] i think ben carson is the right guy for Surgeon General because he knows everything about the Health Care System, the insurance system, hes the right guy to repeal and replace, work with, working with paul ryan. Newt apparently, you know, im hearing i hate speculating on these things, by the way. I dont think Chris Christie is in line for the top job, that ag job that people say because of whats going on with bridgegate. I will tell you the big question, theres some people who have been loyal to him who hes very close to. Number one, Kellyanne Conway kennedy yeah. Does he make her chief of staff . She seems to have a temperament for it. Extremely helpful to him as well. Number three, steve bannon is working, you know, the strings behind the scenes. Hes there too. Three very, very important people. Jared kushner, i believe, the dagen his soninlaw. Ivankas husband, i think he is one with of the smartest people in that whole campaign. He sees the picture, and he stayed behind the scenes. Very, very smart or man. I dont know how you make one if i were him, id say heres my group of advisers, heres my chief advisers, i cant name one kennedy okay. Now lets talk about this, you were one of the people who supported donald trump through the entire process. Yeah, thank you. Kennedy you predicted his victory. And no matter what anyone or any poll said, you were there saying ebony secretary of state, eric bolling . Kennedy have you talked to donald trump about a part in his administration . No, no. Ive spoken to donald and the campaign congratulating them kennedy yes. Look, it was a rough road being behind donald trump for some of those months. Melissa no question. But, kennedy, you and i have talked about this quite a bit. When these polls were showing him down by four, down by five nationally, down by ten in a state and i said take a look at the methodology. The people that theyre polling, thats not indicative of the American People. I said stop watching polls and start watching people kennedy people discounted that and said it was Wishful Thinking i was called a liar, i was told i was lying to the viewer because i wanted trump. That wasnt it. I saw Something Different kennedy all right, dagen, he has talked about draining the swamp, making a huge shift, a paradigm shift, a personnel shift in washington, but a lot of the names were hearing are very familiar faces around washington dagen because, you know what . You need teem with political experience who know how to pilot an airboat through the swamp, because its not going away anytime soon. Washington is a morass. It is a giant bureaucracy, and donald trump with all his good intentions is not going to be able to dismantle it, certai not even in ever maybe. So you need people melissa oh, come on, were more hopeful than that. Dagen i think its a good mix of people outside of government and people with, like, serious, deep government experience whether its rudy being a prosecutor, whether its particularly Newt Gingrichs experience. But if this has ever crossed your mind, i have to ask you this question why in the heck would you want to work in the government . Well, because i dont think this is i dont think Donald Trumps government is going to be government as usual. In fact, if i were him, i would say you could apply, tens of thousands of people are applying, i would say if you have experience in d. C. , dont bother dagen d. C. s not going i mean, d. C. Is a giant apparatus of people with agencies. You dont dismantle those agencies that easily. And you know what . I bet they intend to. Dagen theyve got the knives out inside and outside the beltway, theyre ready for it, and its going to be a headache. Youre pulling a wagon, and its tough going. Melissa one name we didnt say that was on the couch, ambassador John Bolton Kennedy yeah. Secretary of state . Melissa all right. President elect trumps win appears to be firing up the stock market like crazy. The dow jumping more than 200 points to close at a new record high yesterday. Today you can see there taking a little breather as the postelection market rally continues, a reaction many had not predicted. Look at the market right now, still above 18,000. Eric, i will go to you since you are our market maven. I was talking to a trader yesterday, and he was saying there is a feeling of optimism sweeping investors where they feel like finally instead of this subparagraph growth subpar growth, we are going to knock the rust off the gears of the economy, were going to strip away regulation, were going to see cash repatriated from companies who had it overseas, investment, lighten the load on businesses. Theres an optimism out there, and thats why we saw the market go down from 800 overnight if i could have bought, i would have to bouncing right back. Turns out everything that conservatives have been saying for a hundred years about keeping more of your own money whether its an individual or a corporation is actually an economic boost, a stimulus. So people read that as, look, if you bring the Corporate Tax from 35 down to 15, companies are going to have a lot more money to spend. When you spend money on capital, on projects, on cameras, whatever, you hire people. You employ people. That in addition to the regulation, this is a very, very positive turn for the economy. Kennedy yeah. And quickly, you know, you talk about the markets, and, you know, we saw the shift because at first it seemed as though they were reacting to the unpredictable ebony the surprise. Kennedy yeah, the surprise, and the volatility was a reaction to that. And then they tooking a deep breath and said, oh, wait a second, not only is he talking about unleashing the personal engine of growth and ingenuity in small business, hes also talking about this massive Infrastructure Spending. So construction stocks were at alltime highs. Melissa yeah. The note of caution the Federal Reserve, right . Give me a little bit on those. Dagen the Federal Reserve and just generally if you watch the tenyear treasury, longer term Interest Rates went up bigtime this week melissa how do do you interpret that . Talkingdagen 2. 1 . There was a trillion dollars drained out of the bond Market Worldwide just this week. The bigger concern is Infrastructure Spending, deficit spending, Higher National debt, and that means inflation. And that means Interest Rates go up. That means longer term Interest Rates go up, and if theres inflation, then the Federal Reserve has to start raising shorter term Interest Rates melissa they have to anyway. Dagen again, its how much [inaudible conversations] say again . Kennedy before Inauguration Day . Dagen theyll definitely raise in december. Melissa i agree. Dagen but i think longer term Interest Rates, listen, we have a debt that has doubled under president obama. It is 20 trillion. Our annual interest on our National Debt in the next presidency under donald trump, President Donald Trump will top our defense spending as it kennedy thats right. Dagen thats a concern. If Interest Rates go up theres only one reason thats happening, growth. Guess what else comes back . Wages. Wages come back so peoplen spend more. This is controlled, increase in inflation is not a bad thing especially when youve had ten years of no melissa head. Ebony as somebody who was looking for a buy opportunity in my investment career, i was really excited when i saw that [laughter] but i feel very on optimistic, o your points, all you ladies and eric, have made about the opportunity. We just neednt a into the space of growth exists for me, because it feels very optimistic. Dagen you know, optimism can actually lift an economy. Melissa absolutely. Dagen if people feel better about their situation or the future, that actually can turn an economy around melissa absolutely. There you go. President elect trump winning big with our nations veterans who played a key role in his surprise be victory. Plus, on this very special day honoring their service and sacrifice, will mr. Trump carry through on his promise to help those who have sacrificed so much . And what does he need to do . You dont let anything keep you sidelined. Thats why you drink ensure. With 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. For the strength and energy to get back to doing. What you love. Ensure. Always be you. Ebony today we are blessed because it is veterans day when we with pause to honor americas heroes. A short time ago president obama laying a wreath on the tomb of the unknowns at Arlington National cemetery and paying tribute to those who have sacrificed so very much for our freedom. We come together to express our proto found gratitude profound gratitude for the sacrifices and contributions you and your family made on the battlefield, at home and at outposts around the world. Ebony meantime, americas veteran who played a key role in donald trump winning the house are looking to keep his Campaign Promise to take care of those who served. This after years of the department of veteran affairs coming under fire for long waiting lists and reports that veterans have even died waiting for medical care. So, eric, one with of the things that trump it is a hawked specifically about, i think, is kind of providing financial incentive around doing this work the right way. Hes talked about wanting to empower his secretary of veteran affairs to be able to fire people that are ineffective in their jobs. And i think for my mother and other people that voted for donald trump because they like the businessman that he is, the ability to hire and fire those according to their merit and how well they perform their job, they are excited about this. Do you think this is the kind of change that it needs . I think he made a couple of promises. Number one, the big one that he was going to end the sequestration. Hes going to restock the military with the assets that they need and deserve and we should all have. As far as the v. A. s concerned, i think his idea of empowering veterans to make a choice do you want to go to the v. A. Or do you want to go to a private hospital or doctor, some sort of vouch arer system just like a School Choice system only for the v. A. , is a fantastic idea. Im not sure how the numbers are going to break down or where the payfors come from, but theres a lot of waste in the v. A. , and one of the other things he said, he wants to go after the union people. If you can bust up those unions and the issues he has there, maybe some cost savings that he can turn around and make really good for veterans. Dagen this is one place where he showed great sensitivity, compassion ask empathy talking about putting in a hotline directly to the white house that you will never be left if you are struggling, you will never be left without somebody to talk to. And i just wanted to point out he also doesnt want to reward bad behavior, because the v. A. s still paying bonuses, 2015 fiscal year, 177 million to 189,000 employees including to people who were then fired. Ebony i was going to ask you this, ken kennedy, because if he can restructure as eric was talking about, hospital choice, because i think we all on the couch are excited about that, is that a way for him to model, look at the success of this and then when he designs the restructure of National Health care, kind of pattern kennedy yeah. And wouldnt that be ironic if you actually fix the v. A. If first by injecting more choice into the system, and then you allow the v. A. To focus on what its baas at, and thats treating, rather, traumatic brain injury and ptsd and really boosting those systems. But, yes, please, give them more choice. Because when you open up these systems to more competition, you make the whole thing better, and you drive costs down. Paul krugman, liberal economist for the new york times, said that we should be moving as a country to a singlepayer universal Health Care System because the v. A. Works so well. Obviously, he was wrong, but if you flip that and create free Market Competition in the v. A. And make the care much better, faster, easier to get and keep these veterans healthier so they have better lives, then you take that model and you apply it. Melissa that idea of the hotline, to people out there who think it may sound like a joke, thats actually the way the best corporations operate. You have the office of the president of the corporation, and when somebodys really in a bind, they get through on that line, and that really means everybody that dealt with that perp along the way is in deep dodo, and nobody wants to have their people called. Kennedy right, accountability. Melissa its an effective way to create accountability immediately. It only takes one or two calls, and all of a sudden the entire organization gets in line, or understands how serious it is. To me, that was a huge sign of how well he understands business and how he could turn around government in an instant by just applying some of the very basic things that we all who have studied business know that the government apparently doesnt know, and thats why theyre so horrible at running things. Ebony yeah. The government certainly seems to have fostered a lot of mediocrity, and i think some people are done with it.

[laughter] has nothing bad ever happened to you . Have you never been through a breakup . Has everything in your life been so wonderful that each and every choice you made is has gone your way . Tough if it hasnt. That is life. Melissa can i make a point about this though . So here we have cryins for people that were supporting Hillary Clinton who didnt get their wish, but at the same time, people who went in and voted for donald trump didnt feel free enough to say it out loud, and our polls were so far off because people were so intimidated about that choice that they had no voice, and they hid who they were and lied about what they did. But the other side is totally vocal about how upset they are, and theyre being rewarded with a safe space, and a get out of your test free. Isnt that interesting . Theyre hypersensitive, and then on the other hand were dragging people out of cars and hitting them saying you voted trump. Dagen right.

And its this culture of meism. Its all about you. What about country . Ebony you know what though . I know veterans that say much of what they do is to protect the right to protest. Im not mad at protesting. The cryins though, its utterly unacceptable. You dont have to like it, but you have to accept it and move on.

Every one of them, the people signing people up, had a Hillary Clinton button on. They had a complete ground game going on. And even with that, she lost. So theyve got to get over service dogs . Poor service dogs [laughter] University Students feeling better. Dagen although Hillary Clinton was bonding with her dogs, apparently. Kennedy catch fleas from the hippie sobbers .
