We didnt see a lot of him today. He was indoors. Trump tower was quiter day. But again, bottom line he did make that statement that he is going to produce more information. Certainly the press corps is going to hold him to that. Were waiting for that. Thank you for doing that. Get in from the rain. Donald trump praised Vladimir Putin trump tweeted the following. I new he was smart. Today trumps incoming press
secretary sean spicer suggested he was shooting from the shut. Lets watch him. This report that every one see as taking gospel truth is not final. So there are questions as to why ewe are taking the actions without report being finalized. The President Elect is going to wait until information is final, what he is not going to do is politicalize intelligence before he has complete picture of whats happening. Im joined by the panelist. Trump reality, he there was Slam Dunk Phrase used. Nuclear is the Middle Of The Road people say Lets Go To War with iraq because they did this weapons. For sean spicer to accuse media of playing politics, it serve donald trump interests to intimidate every one around him and keep them at divide and at war. He putting Intelligence Community on notice in public, you screwed up before i done believe you, he is trying to discredit. Why . Its a method of control for donald trump. You have military people outNuclear Weapon a missile capable of reaching seattle. Whats to stop that finger from pushing a bottom . He is able to be provoked and has a history which guy .

Have you to go to people that have going to tell you what are my option, do i call the leaders in china, you have to warn him, if anything like this happens,
long enough to know when someone is sick with a disease, they dont go to best friend, they go the smartest people they know. Thats the Situation Trump is in he needs to find a specialist to deal with kim unyoung and what he just announced. This is a risky period. Because they dont have the kin kings worked out. It raises a lots of ncerns. Its oneeason to have a smooth transition as possible so if theres a crisis you can call barack obama. I would hope so susan raises a good point. Despite the public handshaking that President Obama and
president trump did in the oval office, we have a thing going on where presidency is competing here. I have never seen anything like it. The last time it happened was Richard Nixon and lyndon johnson. Its an entire array of thing. Donald trump new year message for his enemy this weekend. He tweeted. They dont know what to do. Love. Susan, was that ha statement of unity . Arent his opponents his enemies. Were allamericans. You said it with a little bill clinton, he doesnt have note to his voice these days. You can see what kind of
president donald trump is going to be in addition to the campaign by the tweets he puts out. What he is doing unprovoked is sticking his finger in the eye of the people hes Beeten Throubeaten through the presidency. He is laying down markers of how he is going to run the country and if he has to intimidate people. He did show during the campaign discipline. He showed when he was down in the dump when he thought he was a loser. He did discipline himself. Theres controls on his control panel. He can say no tweets for three or four days. He won the nomination, we didnt think he could do that. You have to say that we haventPresident Obama is back. So the republican Congressee Ger to kill obamas legacy. Can democrats stop them.

Donald trump has been promoting and elevating woman, in the trump administration. Its who he is, its what he does. I was in india, they have a good english Language Press over there, one thing that bugs me and scares me, a lot of this is back and forth, a lot of this can be fixed. How do you somebody was weird as
kim yun un who sbround surrounded by fans and no one is going to tell him the truth, how do you step him from delivering a Nuclear Weapon to seattle. How do you stop him from doing that. You can punish him afterward what you can stop him from doing it. As you pointed out, the President Elect, has tweeted out the notice about north korea is about a year awa interest having this and he tweeted by saying thats not going to happen. He will confer with his generals. You dont do it by em bolding a country like iran which put the rest of the world in direct
risk, thats why Democratic Senators were against the iran deal. The idea that we have been questioning north koreas is rich. Lost the election and a guy who is going to be tougher on these issue the donald trump won the election. We you end like the plan, it puts them off in terms of their availability to develop a weapon. What would serve that purpose if you dont have a worldwide sanctions against them with the chinese cutting them off from any economic life, what do you do to stop them. You squeeze them and squeeze
them, then what do you do in. You have so much money now and they are Funding Groups like hes ba la. The world is a dangerous place. Were not going to make Foreign Policy on your show tonight, this is a part of the obama legacy and i would be curious to see what the president will say in his farewell address. When you say the world is a dangerous place it didnt just happen. Its because of a lot of action and inaction and the fact that President Elect trump through his Media Platform is telling 44 Million People on twitter, facebook and instagram combined
that he intend to stop it and he will. I think that is wa a concern before he did it. He focus on the biggest concern we have. You say you dont want to make policy. He setting a different tone from obama with regard to russia and the allegation of russias hacking into the campaign. Lets start with that. Here we go. Its interesting once they hack, if you dont catch them in the act youre not going to catch them. They have no idea who it is. It could be somebody sitting in a bed some place. It could be russia, i done tli it is. They dont know. And i dont know. Last week the President Elect said we should move on. Lets watch that. I think we ought to move on with our lives. Computer has made it where no one knows exactly whats going on. We have a lot of other things, im not sure we have the security we need. Donald trump suggested theres information out there that hasnt been revealed that could change the hole situation. I know a lot about hacking and its a hard thing to prove and it could be somebody else. I know things other people dont know. So they cannot be sure of this situation. What do you know that other people doesnt know. Youll find out tuesday oar wednesday. Is that still a the President Elect in addition to the comments he made, he has agreed to have an Sbels Briefing and he will have that here at trump tower this week and he will hear from our top intelligence officials it is
expected what they know. What does he know . He knows that every president , who have intelligence briefs i hope they know a lot more than the rest of us know because they should. They are the president and commander, president of the United States and commander in chief. We dont want politics to interfere with intelligence. We are say we dont want intelligence to interfere with our to play into our intelligence efforts either. The fact is i think those who are talking about the hacking, they fall into two categories one the content of the information revealed. Calling Chelsea Clinton a spoiled brat, a lot of unfor
theble it waebt the intelligence its what you just described now, the political sizing of the intelligence who never had briefing and the cia but dick chaney went after the george w. Bush they lied they put the word out, they didnt have a basis. We have guy on the show say he briefed dick chaney but it was a good way to get us into the war. In fairness toPresident Elect trump he has been criminal of the iraq war. He is criminal. Hillary clinton voted for it t. She ran down to the well and proudly cast her vote for it. President obama has said that he told Vladimir Putin to knock it over when it came to hacking. Its not clear he meant knock it off because youre going to interfere with the election or knock it off. You dont say to Vladimir Putin knock it off and think that he will. It doesnt make sense. People wonder why more wasnt done early was it because President Obama and everything at the networks thought Hillary Clinton would win. Is it democratic or political
response. Are we going to move our embassy to jerusalem . Possibly. He would like to do it. The reason is very simple, when you show up at the israeli equivalent of our supreme court, you go to jerusalem. Dont you want our embassy to be where the seat of government is. The iraq side is that jerusalem will be capitol of the new state. Israels exclusive territory and no u. S. Has said that. Its a fact and its going to cause trouble. When you say may happen, youre not sure its going to happen. Its a priority for the President Elect, he has said it many times. His new ambassador to israel has said so. If theres no peace plan on the table and were not close to have a Peace Process completed here, then why wouldnt we want our embassy there. Because it would cause an explosion. Its a very Dangerous Things to do. I cant let that go about the explosiveness of the middle east. Un resolution was a great was u. S. Policy and certainly israeli policy. John kerry 72 minute speech was
tyrant against israel. Rejectionism why dont we have Peace Process, in other words this is a very complex issue but youre going to have a president there for probably eight years. We have one in eight days to do this on the way out to break with the longstanding policy is shameful. U. S. Policy under both parties have been trying to find peace in palestine in that you are area to try to bring peace part of that has been two State Solution by both parties to stop the settlements which cutoff the chance to have a political state. No one has succeeded and President Obama didnt visit until beginning second term. Its politics. Thank you. Up next, so whats putin looking to for the next four years. Whats he up to.
