Forbes, john, bruce. Steve, well deal with the u. S. Role in all this in a mome, but should this be the last stra for the u. N. . Doesnt it do morearm to the u. S. And allies than good . This is a perfect opportunity to throw down the market. Weve withdrawn from organizations like unesco part of the u. N. In the past. We should withdrew from various other organizations in the u. N. That wouldnt have any treaty violations and weve got to send the message out there. Were not going to be a patsy for these things in the future. By the way, just for the record, part of the u. N. Is the International Monetary fund. Another subject for another time but also destructive organization. We shouldnt be using taxpayer dollars to undermine our own interests. Bruce, lets talk money for a second. We spent 3 billion a year on a United Nations the u. S. Does. A quarter of the budget. Voluntary contributions the last demanded to know how much that was from the u. S. Was it 2010. 7. 69 billion not insignificant. Yeah. I dont think theres anything wrong with doing an audit and if Congress Wants to come in and examine how were spending our money. These outbreaks, zika virus, ebola virus, they have aid worker, they have infrastructure. We cant just go isolationist when it comes to Global Diseases or they will start knocking on our door. John, do we need, as bruce says, the u. N. . I dont think we need the u. N. And i would love to see president elect trump defund that which doesnt have our best interests in mind. But he cant do that. I think the better answer is to not appoint a new u. N. Head. If suddenly the u. S. Is not participating in the u. N. , it has no legitimacy. Thats the quickest way to shrink it down the size. Bill franklin, i live in new york city where the u. N. Is based. They get away with all kinds of they dont pay their parking tickets. They are out for a good lunch, arent they . Yes, i have to agree with you. The u. N. Is a haven for israel bashers. Its a big waster of money and they dont pay their parking tickets. Its bad, but dont defund it. Its our last best chance to sit down with before we go to war. I dont think we should give it up. Sabrina, you worked with the u. S. Ambassador, you and jean kirk patrick. She was really strong against the bad stuff they do. Yeah. I think that she would sympathize with trumps claim that they have the potential to do good, but i think we have to be very, very honest about whats really happening there and as you mentioned, she wrote nearly 30 years ago that the u. N. Had become a vehicle for legit matizing the plo. The set remains the same but the actors may have changed and they are still a vehicle for delegitimizing israel and standing up against this idea it could be a sovereign, jewish state. Theyre a leading ally for us, thats a huge problem. We definitely need to stand up. Whats worse is when the u. S. Starts talking like the u. N. Which is what happened this week. We had on our secretary of state john kerry coming out of two hours of diatribe. He did mention some bad stuff that the palestinians do but primarily it was a hit on israel. Lets play a little sample of what he said. The israeli Prime Minister publicly supports a twostate solution, but his Current Coalition is the most right wing in israeli history with an agendadriven by the most extreme elements. But what kerry said led donald trump to tweet, as he normally does, he says we cannot continue to let israel be treated with such total disdain and disrespect. They used to have a great friend in the u. S. But not anymore. The beginning of the end was the horrible iran deal and now this the u. N. Stay strong, israel, january 20th is fast approaching. Well, i think that underscores what happened in the u. N. From once was a u. N. Instigated thing but a u. S. Instigated thing. Barack obama had it in for israel from the beginning. Now that hes ge out of office, he is letting him vent. John kerry goes along with what he is fed by the state bureaucracy which leaves in the twostate solution. Gaza got withdrawal of israeli settlements a decade ago. Its a haven of warfare and missiles. Im going to be blunt here, antisettlemt meaew free. We should not tolere that anywhere in the world. Well, frany, bruce, what happened in 2005 when israel pulled out of gaza, they pulled all their settlements out of gaza, what happened . Hamas came in and began lobbing missiles right into israel. Well, this idea that president obama doesnt support israel is ridiculous. He signed a theres the funding to defend them as ten years a u. S. Tax dollars what is it 38 billion the united states, it wasnt george bush who signed that. It wasnt it wont be donald trump. It was barack obama who signed a legislation to protect israel. Guys, sabrina, i heard you wanting to get in but before i let you go, its not just u. S. People who are suggesting that this administrations antiisrael. The uk, the Prime Minister of the uk, theresa may said that she doesnt believe that its appropriate to attack the composition of the democratically elected government of an ally, so its not just folks here saying that. Yeah. Im sure that theyre concerned about being attacked as well. Look, i think that this is one of those instances where we can say that words matter and weve been saying that a lot about the president elect trump, but this is ectly the same thing for jo kerry. He used words like radical extremists when talking about our major allies and a country that is surrounded by actual terrorists, actual extremists. We need to be careful on both sides of the political aisle about how we speak about foreign and domestic affairs. Bill, its obviously Trump Administration will have a very different view of israel. They announced that with the nomination for the ambassador to israel who is very supportive of the government there, however we get an idea of how bad the u. N. Is when we see it sort of mocked or parodied in the u. S. Well, im glad that the new administration is a lot more supportive of israel, but i have a question for steve, just how Many International fights do you want the new president to pick in order to prove himself . Steve . Pick fights . Donald trump did not invade ukraine. Donald trump did not invade crimea. Donald trump did not do the drone business in the Pacific Ocean committing aggression in the South Pacific china sea. Donald trump did not withdraw troops for political reasons. Picking fights . The world is picking fights with the good guys. We have to fight back. John, let me mention something out of past, not too many people totally defending the u. N. Here. In the early 1990s, iraq invaded kuwait. The u. N. Put together a coalition george bush the first was involved in that getting the u. N. To eventually kick sa dam out of kuwait. That was a good thing, right . Well, i wonder. Does kuwait have our best interests in mind . I question good point. The notion that we owe the rest of the world their freedom. I think theres a good argument that the world is a less safe place precisely because the u. S. Is protector of the free world. What i like about trump is to some degree he is saying its not the u. S. s job to fund the defense of some of the richest countries on earth. Thats not our job. Bruce, let me challenge you for a second. Other than unesco and there are some Charity Works which the u. N. Does, what do they do that helps us be more secure as a nation . Well, if you go back to which you talked about under george bush, it is a body that at least you can find out where other countries are standing. And it puts people on record. If it goes away, we have no as bill said earlier way to promote peace around the world and work with our allies. Now, if you dont want it to be a new yorker, this all to be done by email, i guess thats for the next administration. Quick last word from steve. The u. S. Is not active in the world we get a replay of the 1930s when we nearly lost civilization. We have to be active. We make mistakes. Becomes more unsafe and eventually comes right up to our shoulders. Coming up, isis calls for more attacks on the u. S. , Police Forces across the u. S. Are beefing up security for tonights celebrations. We need to [burke] at farmers, weve seen almost everything, so we know how to cover almost anything. Even a rodent ridealong. [dad] alright, buddy, dont forget anything [kid] i wont, dad. [captain rod] happy Tuesday Morning captain rod here. Its pretty hairy out on the interstate. Traffic is literally crawling, but there is some movement on the eastside overpass. Getting word of another collision. [burke] it happened. December 14th, 2015. And we covered it. Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum day. Now back to forbes on fox. As freedomloving people around the world get ready to ring in the new year tonight, new signs that isis is plotting attacks. Nations already on high alert in the wake of berlin attack on a christmas market. Sand trucks will be placed around times square in order to protect rebelers there. All of the security coming with a very hefty price. But steve says its a small price to pay. How so, steve . Because if you dont defend your freedom, youre going to lose it. What were spending today even though it may be inconvenient, even though it will put strains on budget sgs a fraction of what we spend on the past in Great Security threats especially during the Second World War or over the course of the cold war. We do it here and we do it abroad. We dont defend ourselves, no one is going to do it for us, david. John, this is the price we have to pay for freedom . Um, i tend to disagree a little bit here. Lets be clear that we cant spend our way out of getting rid of murderous people. If we secure times square, there are going to be lots of places that arent secure where terrorists can come in and do damage. I dont like the idea of giving up this much freedom for something that is never going to erase terrorism. Well, bill, just because we dont like an idea doesnt mean we dont have to face reality. And the reality is that there are too many people who want to do us a lot of harm and are willing to go out of their way to do it. Well spend whatever it takes. On what . Are we going to have another Million National guards men dressed in jungle camouflage stationed outside every new Years Eve Party tonight . I dont think thats practical. I think the inevitable result will be that over the stens you objection of the aclu and john camny, this country some day will get a National Electronic identity card. Oh, boy. Thats all we need. Scary but not as scary as terrorism. What do you think about that, an id card for everybody . I guarantee they will find a way to hack it. Nothing is perfectly secure. In terms of fighting isis, you dont have to put guards everywhere in the world or everywhere in the country, you do more intelligence gathering as we used to do before the new York Police Department had the handcuffs put on them. You have informers find up what theyre up to and very importantly go on offense overseas so you take away the inevitability that isis believes the worlds history is going in their favor. Well talk about that overseas, but, john, its the intel part that bothers you, right . I think steve hit on something very important about the national id card. If you institute that, those who mean us harm will work their way around it. I think thats what were up against. If you secure the airports, if you secure times square, what about different stadiums . What about shopping malls . Theres always going to be a soft target for them to hit. My view is i think the much bigger threat to my well being is a government that spends 4 trillion dollars a year allegedly to make me better off. Thats a much bigger threat to me. Lets talk about what new york is spending here second, bill. 7,000 Police Officers who are going to be on duty tonight. 65 sand trucks and 100 other what theyre calling blocker vehicles so you cant have what happened in nice or what happened in germany. Helicopters, 65 fueling pins, they call these pins in which they fuel the hundreds of us thats of visitors. Is that enough, too much or what . It will keep the terrorists away from us for a few minutes. A determined suicidal terrorist will get around all those technologies. No, i dont think they can easily get around the Technology Behind a welldesigned id card or behind a welldesigned drone. What we said when the war in iraq began was it essentially better to stop them over there before we come here, now it looks like were fighting a war on two fronts. Should we spend more over there . Would that keep them from coming here . We need to do more overseas and follow through on it. We actually had beaten al qaeda in iraq. We have done away with that when barack Obama Took Office in 2009. We made a lot of mistakes. But we finally got it right in 2006 2007. He threw away that victory needlessly by precipitously pulling out u. S. Troops against the advice of our military, against experts in is that part of the world. Thats when isis rose up. If youre going to do the job, complete the job instead of letting it be done and pulling back and throwing away these hard steve, keeping with you for a second, how, specifically how do you complete the job over there . First of all, you remove these artificial constraints that are put on our forces over there. Those constraints tell the forces of evil over there and potential allies that were not serious about this thing, call these terrorists what they are, islamic extremist terrorists instead of pretending theyre something else. All of those things that tell people youre not serious remouf and then our allies would be willing to work with us. If we have to put in more Ground Forces temporarily, we do it. But this halfhearted thing where we put in a few thousands and hope nothing bad happens until after the next election is a formula for telling people were not serious. Isis can be beaten very quickly militarily. John, what do you think of that . Well, i wonder about that. Im not going to defend Barack Obamas foreign policy, but my take is republicans and democrats just as theyre inept domestically, theyre invariably inept around the world. Could we beat isis . Theres no doubt we could beat isis, but implicit there is Thomas Jefferson and ben franklin are waiting in the wings to fill in for the terrorists we beat. I dont think thats realistic. Once you win there, someone else is going to fill in. If terrorists want to murder us, they always will. I dont want to expand government to stop what they cant stop. Understood. Understood. Thank you, gentlemen. Very good discussion. Well, before eric hosts tonights new years coverage, the gang ready to cash it. Should the left get over it already for the good of the country . Plus, why an Academy Award winning actor may be afraid to portray ronald ragen in a new movie. Well explain to you at 11 30. Good luck tonight, eric. We will be watching. Up here first, the new trump team said to be considering private Market Solutions for the department of veterans affairs. Is that the best way to take care of our precious vets . We debate it coming next. Cmon in, pop pop happy birthday i survived a heart attack. Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. Seconds. Seconds. Ive spent my life planting a sizesix, nonslip shoe into that door.

Finally, you can now find all of netflix in the same place as all your other entertainment. On xfinity x1. Privatizing the v. A. To help our vets . The incoming Trump Administration considering allowing veterans to bypass the government run v. A. Health system if they want to, getting care directly from private doctors or hospitals. John, you say this is the best way to help our veterans. Let me just be specific about how much were paying for it. Its the largest civilian agency in our government. About 370,000 employees, a budget of nearly 164 billion a year. Thats big. Yeah, why not privatize the v. A. Any time you have the profit motive working over anything you get a better outcome. But i would just add why not abolish it . We dont need a v. A. To get health care to our precious vets anymore than we need a Social Security administration to make sure that people can retire normally. Just get rid of it. Bill, trump is saying something in the middle. He is not saying either total privatization or totally get rid of it. What do you think . Im very much pro choice. I would give veterans the choice of either getting fully covered care and soso mediocre Government Hospital or getting a voucher that would cover costs of getting care. A voucher like some people suggested for education. Steve, we have 144 hospitals in the u. S. , veteran v. A. Hospitals. 1,200 outpatient facilities, 300 vet centers. What would happen to all of these if we went private . Well, they would have to shape up. We would right now report came out about how veterans are being badly treated in terms of opi e opiates and drug addictions like the like. They survive if they provide a service, but having a card, whatever you want to call it a card where they can go to any hospital, let the v. A. Compete. Well see how many hospitals we really need. Bruce, whats wrong with competition . Nothing is wrong with to competition. The veterans like the v. A. System. Lets say that. Not all do, bruce. No. There have been a number of big examples where thats not true. Its an access issue and some cases where you have states or areas that have hospitals that dont have Outpatient Centers and the obamaed a m ad miminists allowed doctors to get reimbursed for care, private doctors, and that could be expanded if we had lines and issues. Whats wrong with expanding this obama idea, sabrina . Look, i dont think that we need a v. A. We need a Competitive Health care market that allows veterans to get quality facilities and quality care. But if we arent going that direction, we need real leadership up there and sort of analogy in my mind is that the d. C. Metro. We have paul who has taken this city by storm with his changes. I think if we get someone in there who is willing to fire people, willing to call out when things are being falsified and willing to really make a difference, its possible we could reform the v. A. Properly. Steve, what about the idea of little bit of privatization and keep the v. A. If people want them . You can have that choice. Its very difficult to reform the v. A. They have a complex rules, work rules that almost rival the federal income tax code which makes it very hard for an outsider to come in and shake things up. So the only way youre going to get a real shakeup and get real flexibility in how these institutions are run is with genuine competition. They dont perform, they aint going to get the money, period. Sound like were coming back to what john was saying. Thank you very much, gang. Coming up, our informers ringing in the new year with the names they say will have you celebrating all year long. Names they say will have you were back with our informers new years winners, bill baldwin. Well go out and buy new appliances that work better. Good suggestion. John . When ever i see the new appliances out there, im amazed, so im with bill. Twitter . Theyve had problems. Why do you like them . Internationally known brand, some entrepreneur out there knows how to turn twitter into a major cash cow. Bill well, this is trading at 18 times losses. I guess the brighter side is if their losses double it would be nine times. Thats it for forbes on fox. Have a wonderful new year. Thanks for watching. Keep it right here, the number one business clock continues. I dont trust him. I dont believe him. I have no intentions of sitting down with him. Im going to fight him every inch of the way and im going to help show the American People that they, too, cannot trust him, that this is a man that does not live up to his promises. A political brawl brewing for 2017. Max seen waters saying she wont work with donald trump when he becomes president. She would rather fight him. Democrats hurt their chances of getting things done in 2017 and beyond . Preponderance happy new years, everyone. Thank you for
