FOXNEWSW The Kelly File January 10, 2017

Let me clarify a couple things here. I never said he was anointedfy y god to be president of the United States. I do believe that people are called, all of us are, you are called for your job, i am called for my job. , that doesnt mean that he is the only one that can do it, doesnt mean any of that. It certainly doesnt mean that god is going to make that happen. O we have to all play our roles. So i appreciate what you said but its not exactly what it meant. Tucker i think i remember it pretty well. You said youd been praying for and with ted cruz and you had heard that you believed god had called him forward at this time. My question is really simple. Im not attacking you, im just wondering. Because he didnt win and trump did, did it shake your faith . No, none. I think that all of us are called by god. You knowth this. All of us are called by god to do certain things and sometimes those things mean just take ae stand. It doesnt mean that what you think is going to work out works out. You are called for this time. I happen to believe that all of us were called at this time to take a stand in the republic and to do the right thing. Tucker right. But because trump did win, and you think that god did have a r role in the selection, what does that mean, i guess . I cant speak for god. I dont know. Heres the message that i would get. That we are living in critical times, no different than we were living eight years ago, 12 years ago. Things are very tough. We should humble ourselves, including me. And perhaps be a little morewe gentle with each other. Half of the nation right now is freaking out that donald trump is the president. I find it amazing that those people are freaking out, right yet those were the ones mocking and ridiculing us. Saying what are you worried about . You are worried about a dictatorship . Now they are saying the same thing. Perhaps i need to be a little more humble, perhaps we need to be a little more kindd to each other and listen to each other. Or we are going to tear each other apart. Tucker i think that is very wise advice. You seem to frame the selection in moral terms. Almost from the beginning. It wasnt just a contest between people with differing views, but between good and the not good. And the evil. In your view and i watched you on the road, those with you for part of it. You posited ted cruz as the good guy in this and then when he lost, i think i heard you sayt that he was in fact maybe disingenuous and smarmy is the word you used. Cruz . D you turn on ted wow. Because ted cruz at the end, to me, for that time period, seem to come out of the blue and endorse on the time to endorse him was at the convention. Now, i have different point of view than he did on the convention. And if youre going to do it, you do it there. Not when it appears that yourr guy is going to win. That just struck me as smarmy. But he and i are good friends. I think he is a good, decent, honorable man. Thats the way i felt that day when we talked. Tucker so you are still in contact with them. If he ran again, would you support him again . Yes, i would. I am not going to endorse anybody ever again. Tucker [laughs] im excited to see. I think the appointments that he has made, some are good, some i am concerned about. I havent said anything or ive tried not to say anything negative about him since the election. I i tried. Unless there was something that was important to say. I want to see the man in action. I gave him the same thing that i said about barack obama. The election is over. And we fought hard. And that is the time to fight hard. At the primary, and then the election. Now he has to be all of our president. And the last president , i dont feel ever reached out to do that. I have seen on the very first night, donald trump reached out. Ive seen him reach out iat would not have invited al gore to my office. He has reached out. And i think its really unfair to judge him now on what he did on the election. I have concerns about the way he ran his campaign, but now lets see if the Office Changes him and he is the guy everybody who supports him says he is going to be. I hope he is. Tucker have your politics changed and watching all of this . In the last couple months, you did a pretty widely circulated interview with samantha b. Glenn beck is changing his views its what ive heard. Have they changed . No. I am a libertarian. Ive always been about principles and i started the 912 project, it was about values and principles. I think this election became about winners and losers. I understand why Hillary Clinton and at the press doesnt seem to get this yet. They are still trying to figure out why she lost. She lost because she was a horrible, dishonest candidate. Even the people raising money for her were saying i cant believe im raising money for her. Because she was so dishonest. Thats why she lost. Trump tapped into a vein of the American People of where theyca were at, what they were feeling. And she was the alltime worst candidate of all time. Thats what happened. What are we going to do coming forward . How are we going to behave Going Forward . I havent seen the press or people in the higher echelons of the left recognize the mistakes that they made on making people feel bad, the disagreed with barack obama and i hadnt seen anybody recognized that she was about candidate. Lets not run somebody like her again. Tucker thats exactly right. One of the reasons i want to talk to you, i remember sitting in my office, watching on Television Many years ago, you are the single most talented anchor i had ever seen. You are hitting a hole in one every night. Aweinspiring, you are pulling it off. And then you left fox and it seemed to get much rockier from there. You do business problems, a bunch of publicized lawsuits, et cetera. Do you regret not having a daily cable show . Or do you think was bad for you to i regret a lot of things. H i dont think regret is the right word. I would love to have your platform, where you can talk to as many people as you do in one setting. However, times are changing and i bet on the future that the future is all on the internet. And so it is just different. Its just different. Tucker are the accounts true or are they just nastily motivated . They are company has had financial trouble yeah, we fired a lot of people because i changed directions of the company. I think we started when those rumors were going around, we had 245 employees. 246, we now have 245 and i just left in office were very talking about two other people that we are going to hire. Business has changed directions. Thats what we did. Was it a poorly run company . Yeah, it was. Is it now . No, i dont think so. We are fine. Tucker this is something i been thinking a lot about myself, do you think being in this business makes you happy . No. No. Interacting with the people has made me happy. Thinking that my voice was bigger than it is or should be in a way that, hey, we can move people and change the world. In the end, it may be very unhappy. Its not my job. Its not any of our jobs. It is just to be ourselves and try to be a good example. And by doing that, tucker, ive learned a lot in the last five years. And the country is morele fragie and some ways, sturdier. We made it through barack obama. Who saw that one coming . We are stronger than we thought we are also in more trouble in some ways than i thought. At least, in eight years ago. We are to a point where megyn kelly leaves and now theyre people that instead of celebrating you coming on the air and a new point of view, theyre saying she is a traitor for leaving the company. I know nobody there believes any of that. Thats ridiculous to think that. We need to stop thinking of each other as traitors if we go work for someplace else or even if we just disagree with each other weve got to be able to disagree. Tucker would you recommend this business to your kids . I will tell you this, tucker, and youve done it long enough to know and you have kept your soul. You are a good guy. You are not a good guy . Tucker i dont know, i think there is a cost to everything. You are good from all reports that i have heard, and weve met a few times. You are a good guy. So im not speaking generally to you. But i think this job i wouldnt wish on my worst enemy. I wouldnt wish the fame on my worst enemy. I think fame is more corrosive than anything else. It is a horrible, horrible thing. If you dont have perspective. If you want it. Because it will always fade and it will warp you, its the reason why meryl streep got on tv last night and has such confidence to say we are right in so many words. N and we all know this and those little peasants out in the middle of the country, they are wrong. Because fame, when people arele making money on you, when you are watching yourself everywhere, when people are coming up to and saying thank you, thank you, i love you, if you are not careful, you start to buy it and then you a become meryl streep. Tucker i think thats a really wise answer. How do you avoid that . You get out the minute you want. When you hear rumors and that this happens in everybodys business, to everybody, all the time. Somebody will start a whisper campaign, like, you know, tucker is failing. If your first reaction is what do i have to do to fix it . Get out. Get out. Walk away, change, do something else. The minute you want it, i think you will start making pacts with the devil. L. Tucker im putting that on my refrigerator. Glenn beck, thank you for being here. Thank you. Tucker up next, meryl streep used the Golden Globes to make a nasty Smear Campaign against donald trump. Donald trump boasted today about getting ford and Fiat Chrysler to invest in michigan instead of mexico. How far should government go to protect jobs in this country . That is coming up next. Elect 20. See your lexus dealer. These numbers are off the charts. This . Sir whats the status . Theres a meteor hurtling towards earth. How long until impact . Less than a minute. What do you want to do, sir . Listen carefully. If we all switch to geico we could save 15 or more on Car Insurance. I like the sound of that. Geico. Because saving fifteen percent or more on Car Insurance is always a great answer. Did you know slow internet can actually hold your business back . Say goodbye to slow downloads, slow backups, slow everything. Comcast business offers blazing fast and reliable internet thats over 6 times faster than slow internet from the phone company. Say hello to internet speeds up to 250 mbps. And add phone and tv for only 34. 90 more a month. Call today. Comcast business. Built for business. There was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart. Ea it was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our countryn imitated a disabled reporter. Someone he outranked and privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart and i saw this instinct to humiliate, by someone in the public platform. Someone powerful. It filters down at everybodys life, because it kind of gives permission for the people to do the same thing. Tucker the Golden Globes are supposed to honor ostensibly, but it turned into a politicized circus as you just saw. S meryl streep ripped donald trump, also ridiculed the sport of football and mixed martial arts. Morning im sorry, i had to. Moran ingram drink is snow in new jersey. I said basically, do you dare me to wear this . He said, you are damn right, i dare you to wear this. I was going to be at the game, theyre going to fly me down but i decided i had to be with you. Tucker the obvious response is, smearing. But what is really going on here . What is that really about . T . I think she really believes r what she said. Gnashing of teeth in hollywood, another progressive elite. I wrote book years ago, i think for a lot of us love meryl streep. Some thinks she is overrated. I think she is phenomenal. I think she is a phenomenal. But its a little bit selfish to be up on stage and you are being honored for your work in film, and you decide to take that platform and turn it into a political speech. Why turn off half of america . It is probably illtimed, he is going to be president of the United States. Imagine if a conservative actor, and there are some, got up right after barack obama won and said he is illegitimate. I think is going to be more racially polarized than ever. And i think he is an absolute buffoon on Foreign Policy and americas going to be weaker. They would have been destroyed, a conservative actor wouldve been destroyed. Tucker of course, of course. She was not so much giving it a political speech but a sermon. The undertone of it, the subtext was, i am a good person. And you have fallen short, mr. Or mrs. Trump supporter. Its the deep loathing, the guilt that i have to be part of this club where we talk to america. Its ironic that she talks about trump and disabled reporter as if no one in hollywood in positions of power mock, ridicule, or take advantage of people in lower Economic Standing than they do. Anyone that knows anyone who has been in a casting call, especially with top directors in hollywood, there can be humiliation, there can be sexual harassment, all sorts of things happen in the higher echelons of power in the Entertainment Industry which im sure top actresses like meryl streep know a lot about. Its not that hollywood has had some standing to look down on the rest of america. Like, if you voted trump, you are against anyone who is of a different sexual persuasion. It is so in the most monolithic, Intolerant Group in america, its hollywood. You and i know there are people that literally cannot voice their opinions if people think they are conservative. If they do speak out, its usually people that have already made it. Tucker it sets you up, the selfrighteous one, for scrutiny. So meryl streep gets up and basically says donald trump is a bigot because of his immigration policy, you have to ask, at her massive estate in connecticut, has she taken a lot of syrian immigrants in to live with her . I would imagine the answer to that is no. Maybe she is incredibly generous. She is incredibly nice. I got the chance to meet her. This is not what we go to see film for. So my people are tuning out tucker is this why people dont go see films . When we see them speaking about so many issues that are polarizing and that divide americans, people might have had a really difficult and itha did have difficult personal lives but it was kind of the illusion olivia said, acting isl all illusion. Its a game of illusions. There is something to that, a Little Mystery is nice to have because when youre seeing someone act a role on screen, you dont want think oh gosh, she was doing that rant at the Golden Globes. You just want to think wow it, she was great. It kind of destroys out a little bit. Tucker too much information. Didnt eat from the tree of ignorance, it was the tree of knowledge. Maybe not a lecture, not needed. Nice job at acting. We will be politically correct, everybody is a winner tonight. Congrats on the show. Tucker thank you. Up ahead, technology is moving faster than ever. Will your job be one of those eliminated . New york times columnist will discuss disruptive innovations that are coming up faster in our world. Stay tuned. Boost its about moving forward not back. Its looking up not down. Its feeling up thinking up living up. Its being in motion. In body in spirit in the now. Boost. Its not just nutrition.

Hero, say hello to a powerful tool that gives you options to fit your budget. Oh, im tied to this chair dundundaaaa i dont know that an insurancethemed comic book is what were looking for.

Dobecause youve got ams lot of cheering to do get fast sinus relief. With vicks sinex. And get your head back in the game. Sinex. The congestion, pressure, pain to clear your head, medicine. Tucker when a a lot of us were born, computers didnt even exist. Now they are making jobs more obsolete. Millions of truck and taxi drivers of selfdriving cars, will it ever be newspaper columnist and news anchors . Joining us is thomas freeman, driving in the age of the acceleration author. You are very optimistic in this book. I appreciate that because i love optimism. But i wonder as i read it, or are people wired from an evolutionary standpoint to reject this change . And technology in particular, is now faster than the average human can adapt. I think people are feeling that acceleration. One of my favorite quotes is, you know, tom, it comes with a sticker on the rearview mirror. Objects in your rearview may be closer than you appear. Its actually coming faster than you think. I felt i had a butterfly net and i was chasing butterflies and every time i got close, it moved. I had interviewed the head of intel at least three times, just to make sure nothing changed from six months earlier. So i was actually living that change. Tucker its know one persons fault, i do think a lot of us are very sensitive to this consequence. Especially the political consequences. We had a big technological disruption, we got 70 years of marxism out of that. This is a more profound change, i mean, how can you be hopeful about the political consequences . A good question. Whitecollar and bluecollar at the same time. And yet, today, with all that going on, you see people drop out of the labor force. Im optimistic because weve actually done this before. They used to live and work on farms, factories, weve done this before. This is going to be harder, okay . Theres no question about it. I have a huge faith in american creativity. I was at a conference a few months ago, a woman was there, she said her job was tagging sharks for twitter. I certainly didnt think that would be a job. Tucker, we will never see itit coming. These new jobs. If we were to be open and flexible, which is actually our value as a country, we will find a whole set of jobs. A lot of them, tucker, will be people viewing with people. First, we work with our hands. And then we work more with our heads, now we are going to work more with our hearts. People dealing with people. The Fastest Growing restaurant chain in 2015 i talked about, its up about adults and bars. People really want to be with people. B i had an interview with the Surgeon General, i asked him, what is the most pr
