Sandra welcome, but we have to remind you as we do all of our one lucky guys, you are outnumbered, dare i say. Outnumbered, outclassed and outdressed dagen and you said yes maam, so you won our hearts. Home train aring. [laughter] sandra lets get started. One of the biggest diplomatic confrontations between the u. S. And russia since the cold war. Finish russian president Vladimir Putinen in a big departure from the way he usually responds and existence the advice of his foreign minister saying he wont kick american diplomats out of his country in retaliation for the u. S. Telling 35 russian officials to leave the u. S. Instead he wants to see how the Incoming Trump administration responds. Meantime, russias Prime Minister slamming the white house over its latest move, tweeting, quote it is regrettable that the Obama Administration which started out by restoring our ties is ending its term in an antirussian agony. Rest in peace. Caroline shively joins us live from the state department. Hey, caroline. Reporter hey to you, sandra. President putin said they will not expel anybody. This is an unusual move, one, because of all the tough talk we heard yesterday, but also because in the past when the u. S. Has booted russian diplomats, theyve kicked ours out. Not this time. Take a look. Although we have the right to retaliate, we will not resort to irresponsible kitchen diplomacy but will base our actions on the policies of the Trump Administration. The state department notified moscow starting at noon today it would be denied to two russian governmentowned compounds in the u. S. , one in maryland and one in new york. That deadline passed just two minutes ago. The buildings were used for intelligence gathering, thats in addition to russian hacks before the november election. Our bottom line is what russias been engaged in over the last few months and years is unacceptable. Its outside the norms of diplomatic behavior, and the president is sending a message today to tell them to cut it out. Reporter the Russian Embassy to the u. K. Couldnt resist getting a jab in on all of this. President obama expects 35 diplomats in cold war deja vu, everybody including the American People will be glad to see the last of this hapless administration. You can see the picture of the duck with the word lame stamped over it. Sean spicer says president elect trump has no plans to meet with putin in the near future. Finish sandra . Sandra caroline shively, thank you for joining us. I want to open this up to the couch now. I mean, going babb to the words of Vladimir Putin, he does see this as an aim at further weakening the u. S. russia relationship. What do these sanctions look like, and what do you make of our response so far . You also missed the fact that he also unfriended obama on facebook. [laughter] this is [laughter] this is laughable. Unfortunately for, you know, our president whos done and they know hes done and these sanctions mean absolutely nothing. When these sanctions came out, he got a dm from probably donald trump saying, dont trip, i got this. [laughter] well fix it, you know, after the 20th. And he went, okay, cool. Were good, no, go ahead, enjoy your time. Obamas done, his administrations done, his Foreign Policys done, so anything he does right now just doesnt mean anything, and its almost like trying to get the last word in in a conversation you lost. Like yo mama, thats what obama did. Rachel he really is mocking obama. Obamas out on the golf course in hawaii right now, and by not, by not kicking out or doing the tit for tat, it is laughable. Here in the last, this is a guy who obama started by telling mitt romney that, you know, the 80s are calling, they want their Foreign Policy back, and now hes ending his last 20 days like this big, you know, Foreign Policy, you know, cold war warrior. It doesnt make any sense. Dagen weve spent eight years under the Obama Administration i kowtowing to russia and doing absolutely nothing whether it was ukraine, in syria, this. To quote charles krauthammer, the point of being a superpower is to show your strength and to put another superpower in its place when need be. And if putin respects anything on earth, it is strength, and we have showed nothing but weakness over the last eight years. You know what . We should expose his money and the money of all his borscht buddies because, again, the russian people might not care about corruption, but the world Banking System surely would question doing business with these corrupt individuals. Sandra and responding to that weakness, Vladimir Putin saying we will not drop to this level of irresponsible diplomacy. Kennedy hes really become a bond villain stroking his himalayan cat with the flat face and the fuzzy fur. [laughter] i think dagen makes a great point which is you dont hit the russian people with sanctions, because as we talked about on the couch yesterday, whether its north korea or russia, these are bad actors rubbing these countries, and running these countries, and they will point to the United States and say they are the ones starving you, its not us. And Vladimir Putin is going to point to the ceasefire he just negotiated in syria with syria and turkey, you know . So it looks like they have a Foreign Policy, and thats all russia wants, is the optic, you know . They dont really care so much about what lies beneath. And i dont think this hodgepodge of sanctions, frankly, gets to the bigger part of the iceberg which is beneath the surface, and i also see it as being a very similar shot at a foe that hes been ineffective at dealing with the same way he took a shot at israel with the ab tension at the u. N. Sandra and, ty russ, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, she launched this attack on facebook saying, quote the people who have spent eight years in the white house are not an administration, theyre a group of Foreign Policy losers, embittered and shortsighted. Today obama officially proved this. The fact that it started on facebook, thats the issue, that russias throwing a party. There was more information about the punch, pie and the party for the families and the diplomats that they werent kicking out. They just dont care. These sanctions dont mean anything, and now that they know that the boss doesnt care, theyre all throwing their shots, and everyones taking punches at the Obama Administration because it was ineffective Foreign Policy for the last, unfortunately, eight years, and now it has no power. So theyre literally going [laughter] youre going to, youre going to whoa, we got that go home . Its the holidays. Were having a party when we get there. And those families after a while will be right back because all this is going to be reversed. Kennedy well, well see. But thats the point of the Obama Administration, is complexifying the situation and boxing in the Incoming Trump administration not only here in russia with the sanctions because he puts this in Donald Trumps lap and says, and forces his issue on russia. And hes going to say if Rex Tillerson is indeed confirmed, what will the two of you do about this new russian problem . Same thing with the u. N. This is not reversible. Dagen trump does need to stop downplaying the russia threat, because it is a threat. Its not just an annoyance. Weve seen a little bit of change in language where he is going to talk to intelligence officials next week, so thats a positive sign. Sandra all right. Well, speaking of timing, they do say timing is everything. So that raises the question why is the Obama Administration taking action now despite knowing about russian hacking for months . President obama waiting just three weeks before donald trump is sworn in to issue the sanctions. House Homeland Security chairman mike mccall releasing a statement saying in part, quote i am pleased to see the Obama Administration finally responding to russian meddling, but these actions are long overi due. For many monthses i have urged the administration to respond to the electionrelated hacks, and for years i have pressed them to stand up to russia. Meanwhile, the president elects senior adviser, kellyanne conway, wondering if politics played a part. I was really disappointed to read in david sang ors New York Times piece this evening the allegation or the supposition that perhaps one reason that these sanctions are taking place is to, quote, box in president elect trump, forcing him to take a position orr otherwise once he takes office. I hope that this isnt motivated by politics even a little bit. Sandra all right. So there you have it. Timing, everything. Shes questioning the politics. Kennedy i question the politics as well. Lets say the situation were reversed and this is how you can make a direct comparison, would the outcome be the same . Thats how you know if its political or apolitical. If donald trump had won the popular vote, if there had been hacking of the rnc and some damaging emails came out and Hillary Clinton won the electoral vote, would president obama be doing the same thing . Would we see sanctions against russia if hillary won and donald trump lost but still won the popular vote . I think the answer is if youre looking at this objectively, its a resounding no. Sandra and, tyrus, the Obama Administration didnt just have a report land on their desk overnight. Chairman mccaul highlighted hes been urging the president for months to do something about this. This goes back to the dysfunction of the Democratic Party. They never supported obama publicly. When theres issues, republicans rally together, theyll fight publicly, people will see disagreements. The Democratic Party never did that during the whole process of this stuff going on. Their arrogance that hillary would just beat donald, they didnt want to bring the russian hacking up, they didnt want to bring those things up because they didnt want to take anything away from the dominance they sometimed hillary would have. And then when it they assumed hillary would have. Sandra what about that, rachel . If the election outcome had been different and hillary had won, would we be seeing this type of action taken by the administration . Rachel of course we wouldnt. Is this going to work in boxing in donald trump . I say the answer is, no. I think donald trump has shown that he wants to handle the russians in a very different way. I dont think that he thinks that theyre his friend as a lot of the democrats say it is, that donald trump thinks. I think what it is that donald trump is looking at all of our enemies, china, isis and russia, and hes saying there is a hierarchy of problems here, isis being number one, and perhaps if im, i can leverage my relationship with russia to deal with isis and maybe even china. And so i think its very smart Foreign Policy if thats, indeed, what hes doing. And i dont think that what Barack Obamas doing now is going to box him in. In fact, all its doing is making barack obama look like a petulant child. Sandra heres Donald Trumps response its time for our country to move on to bigger and better things. Nevertheless, in the interest of our country is and its great people, i will meet with leaders of the Intelligence Community next week in order to be updated on the facts of this situation. Hes been skeptical of the Intelligence Community, but yet hes saying im going to sitdowt whats going on. Dagen he needs to stop dismissing the russia threat whether youre talking about hacking or everything that Vladimir Putin has done on the world stage or has gotten away with in the last eight years. It will help, certainly, i would think, the confirmation process for Rex Tillerson who hes nominated to be the secretary of state given his relationship with putin. He got the order of friendship from the kremlin. But the timing of what president obama is doing is because hes left his own party in rubble. They lost not in state legislatures they have, the republicans are stronger than they have been since the civil war. So what hes trying to do is send a message to democrats that, hey, im not as weak and feckless as republicans have been saying for the last eight years. And, because by taking these stronger actions and, certainly, hes now got to worry about democrats who are siding with israel who are unhappy about what happened at the u. N. Kennedy you bring up a really good point about tillerson, because now that the sanctions have happened, this will be top of mind in the coming weeks when we enter those confirmation hearings and, obviously, that is going to be the most important one as our chief diplomat. And some of the more pointed questions for tillerson are, are you capable of being tough on russia, and if so, how . Dagen he came out against sanctions in the past kennedy well, hes not wrong, but youre right about the billionaires too. Go after the oligarchs. Rachel they were going to be tough against tillerson in those Senate Hearings either way. Kennedy tillerson has to answer specifically, is he capable of being tough on russia, and if so, how . Rachel hes going to say yes. Kennedy thats not enough. How are you going to do it . How does your personal philosophy inform reaction that you would have against russian aggression. Dagen if trump looks easy on Vladimir Putin and whats been going on, then it raises the bar for republican senators to get tough with Rex Tillerson. If he can address it between now and when those confirmation hearings start, it could ease that process. Rachel Rex Tillersons job is to serve the American People, and i think thats going to come out. Its not to serve his oil company anymore. Sandra all right. House Speaker Paul Ryan weighing in on the new sanctions, he says its just part of a Foreign Policy that makes america look weak to the eyes of the world. Is he right . And how mr. Trumps americafirst Foreign Policy will look different. And the president elects pick for press secretary saying come january 20th, it will definitely not be business as usual in washington and to expect big changes from day one.

Donald trump will be sworn in as americas 45th president just three weeks from today. The president elect made big promises on the campaign trail and has set a hefty agenda for his very first time in public office. Some of the issues on the table . Obamacare, tax reform and deregulation of american businesses, just to name a few. An infinitely tall order, but incoming press Secretary Sean Spicer tells fox business that big changes are coming and fast. I can tell you that on day one alone, this is going to be an unquestionable demarcation for this administration. Change is coming to washington, d. C. , and i think its not just going to be the first hundred days, its going to be the first, you know, hour, the first day, the first week, the first month, the first hundred days, the first year, the first term. Its not going to stop. I think when youre around donald trump, its infectious. He wants to continue to succeed and make this country better. Kennedy he needs the cdc, hes so infectious. [laughter] meantime, politico reporting that president obama will huddle with democrats next week to discuss what they can do to save obamacare. Sandra i feel like i need to wash my hands. [laughter] kennedy you feeling the infectiousness of the Incoming Administration . [laughter] so lets talk about some of these big changes. I mean, theres some massive things on the horizon. Obamacare is gone. Kennedy collapsing under its own weight. Its a wrap. Kennedy some democrats are saying, hey, we will let the American People starve and die. If youre three feet tall and youre trying to play in the nb a a, theres not a whole lot you can do, and thats the Democratic Party right now. [laughter] so republicans are going to do move. Do what you want, i dont care, because thats the position that the Democratic Partys in. And the big changes, looking at this and all the information, all the drama with russia and all the changes, i think the big change is, you know, because everyone says the number one thing is isis and the middle east. Finish and keeping it real, take history out of it, trumps about now. Who would you rather go into the middle east with, france or russia . Myself, i would go in with russia because theyre going to fight. Rachel thats what we talked about in the last segment, about the hierarchy and its going to be what can you do for us now, whos best for us now. And sometimes my enemy is my facebook buddy, and that might be the situation that the countrys going into. So the big changes might be things are going to be different than before because were doing whats best now. Kennedy youve spent a lot of time on capitol hill, rachel. Rachel i actually dont, im in wisconsin, but i will tell you this kennedy youre on the capitol hill of wisconsin [laughter] glorious and beautiful this time of year. Rachel i do look at the congressional calendar because i am home in wisconsin with those kids, and i want to know when my husbands coming home, and i am not going to be seeing my husband for three, four, maybe even five months. Thats an indication to you of just how much the republicans want to get done in the first, you know, few months when they have the most Political Capital. I think theyre going to get a lot done, and one of the first things hes going to do is roll back these executive orders and especially kennedy where, like epa . Dagen there are nine of them in the Labor Department alone. Rachel exactly. The things hekking do very easily are those he can do very easily are those executive decisions. Once we get the economy going, hes going to get even more Political Capital because people feel better when the economys doing better. So i think thats the first thing kennedy the bottom line is the bottom line though. How do you kick tart that economic engine kick start that economic engine . Sandra deregulation and tax reform. And its a very measurable thing as well. Kennedy can you do that quickly . Sandra yeah, oh, are you kidding me . He could walk in the first few days of his term and kick start some of these things, and he probably will. And the stock markets going to react. I mean, look, its already risen in anticipation of this. Hes got to do something or else people are going to get nervous, theres going to be uncertainty in the markets. So i do anticipate big changes as far as that. The other big change i anticipate is more transparency. This administration, the Obama Administration, promised transparency. We didnt get it. Already with the use of social media and do and the amount he talks to the press, youre getting that sense were really going to get an idea how things are going from the president elect himself because he takes to the microphone so quickly, and he takes to twitter dagen we got deception from the Obama Administration whether it was benghazi, Bowe Bergdahl and the taliban prisoner exchange, the Iran Nuclear Agreement or the ransom exchange and the piles of cash that got shipped. But yall are focusing on what congress is going to get done and, hopefully, we get tax reform and tax cuts on the corporate side done by july 1. But what about all the career bureaucrats who voted for Hillary Clinton . The knives are out, and theyre firmly entrenched. And theyre the ones who are, like, i need to go get my midmorning snack because i have low blood sugar, so im going to go out and grab some nabs, and ill be back about 12 in time for lunch. So these are people who dont work. They are end trend are. Ed. Theyre not entrenched. Theyre not going anywhere, and its going to be critical for the Trump Administration to take on kennedy you dont have the same incentives as you do in the private sector. Dagen well, exactly kennedy when youre a career bureaucrat. Dagen you can get away with watching pornography on the job and eight years later get caught. What happened at the [inaudible conversations] the statute of limitations was seven years. [laughter] rachel he put people in the cabinet who, i think, really threaten those agencies, and number one is betsy devos, people like that who have a very clear focus, and they are not going to let these bureaucrats get in the way of kennedy or unions in betsys case. Yeah. [inaudible conversations] dagen remember when that pentagon study got leaked . There was 125 billion in savings that auditors found which is the equivalent of a quarter of the pentagons budget, enough to fund 50 army brigades, thats how much waste potentially could get cut. Kennedy yeah, but youve got servicemen and women whose family members have to buy the body armor because those dollars are dagen the dollars will logistics. The logistics bigger than the United Parcel service. Kennedy i got your logistics right here. Dagen i bet you do. Kennedy oh, indeed. We have new reaction to the sanctions president obama slapped on russia over its interference in the election. Whether mr. Obamas move is overdue and how president elect trumps Foreign Policy might differ. Plus, many cities across the country beefing up security for new years eve in the aftermath of the horrific berlin truck attack. This as recent polling Shows Americans are feeling less safe than they have in recent years. Why that is and whether the new Safety Measures are enough. We will discuss in moments. I just want to find a used car without getting ripped off. Start at the new carfax. Com show me used trucks with one owner. Pretty cool. [laughs] ah. Ahem. Show me the carfax. Start your used car search at the allnew carfax. Com. By the time you head to the bank and wait to get approved for a home loan, that newly listed, midcentury ranch with the garden patio will be gone. Or you could push that button. Sfx rocket launching. Cockpit sounds and music crescendo. Skip the bank, skip the waiting, and go completely online. Get the confidence that comes from a secure, qualified mortgage approval in minutes. Lift the burden of getting a home loan with Rocket Mortgage by quicken loans. whisper rocket dagen a fox news alert or, cities across the United States increasing security ahead of new years eve in the wake of the berlin attack. Here in new york theyre ready, getting ready for the big celebration, running final tests on the ball as we learn that the city is going to deploy 65 garbage and salt trucks around the perimeter of times square to make it harder for a wouldbe attacker to barrel through the crowd of some one million people. Patrol cars will also be used as socalled blockers. The new measure follows the attack at a Christmas Market in berlin earlier this month. Twelve people were killed when a terrorist used a hijacked truck to plow through the crowd. This is as a recent fox news poll shows over the last several years americans think that they feel less safe than before the 9 11 attacks. Tyrus, what do you make of this . Because, again, the danger is we, everyone, is always reactive rather than being proactive. We always seem to be responding to some method that the terrorists use. Right. Dagen and i should point out there was the marseilles, similar attack in the south of france earlier this year over bastille day. Well, in my former life, i was a bodyguard, and that was something i used to bodyguard for snoop, so we always had to deal with crazy fans. Kennedy i was one of them, tyrus. Yeah, but you were cool. [laughter] when something new happens, you want to be able to not let that happen, but, i mean, i cant get in a cab 10 feet in new york, so northern to i dont know how theyre going to drive a truck through. I think people need to carry on their business. Go out, enjoy your new years and think positively. One of the good things about being in new york is we handle things in new york very well. And when things do go wrong, responses are usually pretty good and solid, and the people rachel but youre going to be there. Youre going to be on the street, doing man on the street at times square. Not above stopa truck if i have to. Dagen like physically [laughter] kennedy yeah, thats right. Rachel i bet he could. And also being tall in a crowd is good too. This way. Rachel direct traffic . [laughter] sandra if i were you, kennedy, i would stand within a 10foot kennedy no, were kicking things off right here on the fox news channel. Jesse waters and i are going to be having a great time. Tyrus will be on the street looking for action. The nice thing is, dagen, to your point, people are incredibly optimistic, and thats what i love. The spirit of times square in new york city, the crossroads of the year on new years eve, there is nothing like it on earth. The energy is exquisite. But whats different now as opposed to years past is people are much more vigilant. You know, we will have 7,000 nypd officers deployed throughout the streets. Theyll be looking at the crowds, theyll be looking at faces and expressions and looking for odd behavior. But people are also doing the same thing, and one of the slogans you see constantly here in new york is if you see something, say something, and i think people employ that more than ever on new years eve where everyones kind of sizing each other up. Fortunately, the good people, the revelers, the party people outnumber the crazies. Dagen and you know what . Sorry, Rachel Rachel its okay. Dagen sandra, in the last little more than a year we had the paris terror attack, we had san bernardino, we had brussels. Here in the United States its been the orlando club shooting. There was, there was a bombing on 23rd or street right down the street from my apartment and also the bombs going off in new jersey, so its not surprising that people dont feel safe. Sandra yeah dagen on a daytoday basis. Sandra this isnt just new york city, new orleans is taking special preparations, things theyve never done before. Mary landrieu said that we are going to have individuals with tactical outfits on. Its the first time theyre ever doing that in the city. But theyre pointing out that its a very fine line between protecting and securing the city and turning it into a militarized zone. And you think about that, because you think about youre trying to have fun in new york city, thats going to be a sight to be kennedy thats why the cops here are so good, because they do know how to blend in. I dont think the nypd, i dont think these guys and women, of course i dont think theyre heavyhanded sandra by the way, what are all these crazy things out our window . Kennedy those are cranes. [laughter] sandra for new years eve. Rachel i think times squares going to be very safe. I worry sometimes about soft targets in the midwest, places we dont expect like the stabbing in st. Cloud that also happened. That really strikes fear in middle america. Sandra all right. We are getting reports from the hill that senator john mccain is scheduling a january hearing to discuss Cyber Threats to the u. S. , and hes calling National Intelligence director James Clapper to testify. This as we are getting new reaction to the white house leveling sanctions against russia for interfering in our president ial election. House Speaker Paul Ryan saying it was about time that president obama took action and that the long delay is a perfect capstone to a Foreign Policy which has left america in a more dangerous position. The speak or saying in a statement, quote while todays action by the administration is overdue, it is an appropriate way to end eight years of failed policy with russia. And it serves as a prime example of this administrations ineffective Foreign Policy that has left america weaker in the eyes of the world. Its a scary thing to think about that as we do hand off and we look to have this peaceful transition of power in our white house, what position were currently in. Tyrus . Well, the word peaceful, i think, is subjective. I think were having a very good situation like, i supported obama on a lot of things, and the one thing i didnt like was that the Democratic Party was very dysfunctional, very undermines and very backstabbing as we saw, although i completely condemn, you know, the hacking of the emails and all that kind of stuff. But we saw that looking at the way that they ran their election. Hillarys people attacked bernie sanders, they attacked each other, they were going after each other left and right, they were sticking knifes in everyones back they could, and the American People saw that. Thats, i guess, the good thing that came out of that. But with the way things are going now not just donald trump, but the team hes putting together is completely different. And the fact that the senate, the house will all be together sandra but do you think that president obamas policies have left us less safe or having a weaker stance in the world . Yes and no. Yes in the sense that his picking of his team was horrible. It was a lot of back happed deals to a backhanded deals to appease hillary for losing out in the election. And when you make deals with enemies, nothing, you know, people that you fought against, went after each other and lets remember, when he ran against her, it was vicious. And, you know, they talked about the trump stuff with her. She was doing the same thing with him. Dagen blatantly racist, some of the stuff that bill and hillary pulled. And those things dont go away. And it was only towards the end when obama felt his own urgency, wait, my legacy, did he try to jump in and, oh, im going to pop lock hillary to the white house, and it didnt work. If he wasnt afraid of his own issues, he wouldnt have gotten involved because there was no support in the party. Rachel i think theres no question that our country is less safe than when it was handed over to barack obama, i mean, back in 2008. And i think that donald trump is looking at this, and i think hes saying, look, this leading from behind policy that barack obama had doesnt work. Didnt work. I think hes looking back to the 80s, something barack obama said we shouldnt do, and i think hes seeing peace through strength is probably the best option. And i think if you look at the team hes putting together, thats exactly what hes going to do. And the talk hes giving about strengthening our military and putting more money into that, i think hes trying to be more deterrent and build peace through strength and through power. Kennedy the fact that this administration is still spying on americans, and there is so much warrantless spying, it just goes to show that having an increased surveillance state, and this administration has increased the surveillance state. It doesnt make you more safe. But i think you have to pass the blame all the way around. We had eight years of obstruction, so the republican partys hands are dirty too. When you outright say were not going to work with somebody period, nothing gets done, the country suffers. So it was on both sides. Kennedy no, they actually had the house and senate, and thats how they passed obamacare. Rachel thats right. Kennedy there was plenty of time when you had oneparty rule in d. C no, i get that, but im saying dagen and thats why president obama did an endaround with all the executive orders and the more than 600 rules, economically significant rules that upended vast parts of our economy. Kennedy too much government. Sandra all right. Gotta move on. President obama facing a scathing critique by the politics editor of the leftleaning huffington post. He says mr. Obama is pretty much leaving his party in shambles, at least in significantly worse shape than when he first took office. Weve got some hard numbers. Well look at them and we will debate. He has a sharp wit, a winning smile, and no chance of getting an athletic scholarship. And that is why you invest. The best returns arent just measured in dollars. Rau ray harsh words about president obamas legacy from the senior politics editor of the leftleaning huffington post. Sam signs saying despite the president s promise of hope and change, he actually left his party worse off than when he took office. Watch. You look at the destruction of the Democratic Party under Barack Obamas leadership, and you have to wonder, you know, what was the political, what were the electoral benefits that he gave to the party . He leaves them in a much worse position. The states are decimated, theyve lost control of the house and the senate, the governorships are questions mated. So, yeah, maybe he is, obviously, a gifted candidate. He did win election twice by substantial margins, but, you know, his legacy as a politician is a bit muddied by all that. Rachel and steins right. Since president obama was sworn in, democrats have lost 13 governorships, 63 house members and 9 senate seats. Now, kennedy, stein is like a big cheerleader for obama. This is big news, that hes coming out and saying this about his friend and president. Kennedy but youre absolutely right. I mean, obama won for himself. He won two terms, but he could not deliver the white house to Hillary Clinton. Despite his best protestations to the democratic base, going out on the stump for her Michelle Obama did the same thing, and they were incapable of convincing enough people to get out and vote for Hillary Clinton in key states, one of which you hiv in. Rachel right. Kennedy wisconsin. And, yeah, you look at this number, and its pretty much overwelling. Overwhelming. It wasnt long before the election the democrats were confidently talking about flipping red states to become blue, you know . They were also talking about taking the house and the senate. They were very confident about the senate, but at one point they thought they were going to have majorities in both houses. Rachel dagen, it isnt just that they lost states, but if you take a tate like wisconsin, they have the governorship, they have the assembly, the state senate, i mean, steins also talking about the decimation at the state and very local levels. Dagen a net loss for the democrats, the grand total, 1,042 state and federal democratic posts. I said this earlier, the republicans increased their control in state legislatures, leaving democrats with their lowest levels since the civil war. Its the governorships, its every area of leadership across the country. I think that they need to go out, the democrats, and find a vaccine against arrogance and delusion. Kennedy and [inaudible] while theyre at it. Dagen Hillary Clinton didnt go to wisconsin, and she was talking about flipping red states. Again, they live in some sort of strange fantasy land that is unique to washington sandra and out the door with those 1,042 posts, out the door went president obamas legacy. Remember, it was just in september he said his legacys on the ballot before the election took place two months later, as we know how that turned out. Kennedy can you blame obama for everything . No, and i dont. I blame, first of all, the change happens. Sandra yeah. And the Democratic Party became selfish elitists, and they lost touch with people. Obama didnt. Obama was like a rock and roll star. People liked him, they thought he had change, great charisma. He was a leader, he was personally a role model, he was all the things that you look for in a president. His party was not, and his party, while they publicly dagen you mean nancy pelosi okay, nancy pelosi [laughter] is it soup time . Shes lost. And the fact that and that was my whole point. Im saying it, catch her on a wednesday, ask her what day it is. [laughter] [inaudible conversations] rachel sunday, fun day barack obama was passing policies that made no sense in middle america, that they were caught on the local level at governorships, at statehouses, they were caught defending the indefensible whether it was bathrooms or obamacare. Thats why they lost, and it really was obama at the federal level pushing these policies and now these people on the state level had to defend them. I think he had to make deals and decisions for support in his own party that he didnt want to. I think that he was stuck in a tough position. The republican party, they listen, were going to ride on this, and were going to stay in this is our, this is our plan. Were not deviating. Everything you do, if we disagree, were going to state it. And the American People respected the fight and the resolve of the republican party. Theyre working for us, where the democrats were doing whatever was cool or sexy or wanted to be cool with hollywood. Heres the thing, its about reality tv now. Ive been on, like, six tv shows, it dont matter anymore, being a movie star doesnt matter anymore. You dont have all these great big stars with influence. You have flashes in the pan who think theyre famous and start pushing their views, and americas like, what . Who are you . Youre a comedian . Kennedy lena dunham, yeah, not funny, huh . Not at all. Dagen i think people need to start breaking bread with people who dont agree with them. Thats president obamas problem. He would always say let me be clear which is the equivalent of what my grandmother used to say. She always thought she was right and everyone else was wrong, and when you disagreed with her, she would talk to you like you were a total class a moron because you didnt agree with her. That is part of the problem, they dont think theres any other world outside of the little one that they live in, and they lost. Rachel well, thats exactly what Bristol Palins talking about right now, calling out hollywood hi pock ru city after some celebrities reportedly declined invitations to perform at Donald Trumps inauguration. She says under different circumstances stars would jump at the chance to perform at a trump event. Is she right . G new cars. Youre smart. You already knew that. But its also great for finding the perfect used car. Youll see what a fair price is, and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. Now youre even smarter. This is truecar. Kennedy we are back and better than ever, baby. Bristol palin, daughter of sarah palin, taking on hollywood saying on her blog that celebs who reportedly refused to perform at the august ration are sissies and that, quote if donald trump were still just a regular old billionaire and threw a party at trump tower in new york city, celebrities would be lined up out the door, and the most Famous Artists in the world would be pining for a chance to perform. Kiss, celinety on, elton john, garth brooks, ice t, Andrea Bocelli and kanye west all reportedly turned down the president elect. Oh, no. Yet other liberal stars like jennifer lopez, beyonce and usher, they have performed at or attended events connected to dictators around the world. [laughter] for big paychecks, of course. Dagen stop me kennedy big name liberals reportedly planning alternative events on Inauguration Day to distract from it. Tyrus, how important are celebrities to celebrating an Incoming Administration . Well, for one, ive wrestled for a dictator or two. [laughter] kennedy you and i both. They pay. Dagen for a dictator or wrestled a dictator . No, you dont wrestle a dictator and live to tell about it because you have to let them win. Lets keep it real, how many people are going do watch . Nobody, we dont care. Everybody wants to see the staredown between trump and the whisper, its my house now, get out. And obama, i changed the locks. Nobody cares about the performance at the indiana august ration. I never have inauguration. If you asked me who did it last time, i couldnt tell you. Rachel beyonce. [inaudible conversations] she probably lip synced. Rachel she looked very, very cold. You did have the deplorables, the trumpers have a talent show, you know what im saying . Host it. Let the American People rachel im okay if its an all kid rock hed do it. Kennedy you know who seems not to care at all . President elect donald trump who tweeted the socalled alist celebrities are all wanting tix to the inauguration, but look what they did for hillary, nothing. I want the people. Sandra thats what you go with, you know . Kennedy what if you have a hologram of some of the legendary musicians like tupac . Kennedy no, just this year, prince, david bowie, Merle Haggard too soon. Id go with pac. Tupac and elvis [laughter] rachel thatd be nice. Kennedy could you imagine a duet . Love me tender. Keep your head up. Rachel it is crazy theyll perform for people who commit human rights abuses, but they wont celebrate our president by offering their voice. Dagen all these celebrities are losers who are so insecure, they only care about other celebrities liking them. Rachel its high school. Dagen weve talked about this, theyre always bitter. Do you ever talk to anybody whos even remotely famous at a party . Theyre always looking right over your shoulder looking for somebody better than you to talk to because theyre almost embarrassed. If youre not as famous as they are or more famous kennedy i would actually be surprised if some of these people performed and, you know, i dont think that we should be shocked that liberal performers like elton john tweeted, like, go get country stars or ted nugent, and he used a lot of but who wants elton john . I dont want to hear elton john. Hes a foreigner anyway, get out. Were keeping it americana. We can be rude now. The p. C. Eras over, so watch your mouth the next time sandra oh, here he comes. Yeah, just let it go. Dont care. Dont sing, dont do it. Most of them are mad because they didnt run. And you know whats the funny thing about it . If these liberals run, theyll be republicans. Dagen there were all kinds of celebrities at the dnc, and you know where you got em . Bradley cooper was there, you couldnt get a hotter man on the planet. You think bradley coopers hot .
