Might have missed. We know there was hacking all around the periphery of this election. There is no evidence null look for it. Thats the thing about hacking into our voting system. Kennedy then you do a further investigation. Is this how you want to be remembered . I enjoyed having jill on the show in the past. But last night she seemed unfocused and unhinged. I think the questions exceed her comfort zone. For a woman who was barely able to raise 3. 2 million for her president ial campaign. She has raised 7 million in seven days. Where is the money coming from . Soros spent 5 million targeting republican voter suppression. And guess who led that fight . Hillarys Campaign Lawyer marc allaelias. And hes the guy representing against a recall effort. Governor mccrory he says needs to accept his defeat and concede. That margin is 4,772 votes. So why is dr. Stein stopping at those three states . I asked her. We are going to the three states that are most likely to show hack because they have razorthin margins. Kennedy there are also thin margins in New Hampshire and virginia and colorado. Why not go into those states. Its more than one criteria. Kennedy this is why people hate politics and politicians. They are motivated by personal gain and convenience. Not reality and certainly not truth. If this is just a moneymaking scheme on the part of july stein and the green party, its maniacal and its brilliant. She has gone from Bernie Sanders to bernie madoff. She can store whatever is left of that 7 million nut for her run in 200. She boost her profile, made some heavyhitting Democrat Friends and is snow blind to the moral compass she once claimed got her over the mountain of hypocrisy. I hope she makes public that curious list of donors and i hope those funding this effort dont hide in the shadows and let this once clean puppet do their dirty work. Im kennedy. Wisconsins recount could begin as soon as thursday. And jill stein filed for a recount in pennsylvania. Michigan just finished counting yesterday and they are headed for a recount as well. Bret baier, anchor of the fox news channel. The question i have is who is funding this recount . Bret that was a nice open by you. Jury trial stein aside from your interview has donter interviews. When she was asked about the donors she claims they are 90 something percent of small donors under 100 she said. But you can donate 2,700 and there is nothing preventing anybody like a george soros or a person who has the capability of bundling people to donate. She could not confirm whether george soros was a donor to this effort. She said if she found oute was, she would give the money back. The fact that she raised 7 million in 7 days which is exponentially more than she raised for two president ial runs, this is quite something. Kennedy its very curious. I still do not believe that this is jill stein on her own making a stand at the top of that mountain. I just dont think that she has the marketing capability or the foresight. Otherwise she would have done much better in the president ial race. She would have raced a lot more nonmoney and she would have found a way to raise her profile. Brett this is more about democrats grasping at straws and distraught about the Election Results trying to see if there is anything that can change the scenario. The reality is as you point out, the spread here in these states is significant. You are not talking about hundreds of votes, you are talking about tens of thousands of votes. In pennsylvania 70,000. Wisconsin 27,000. Michigan, 10,000 700. 10,700. I spent five days and nights 531 votes over a number of court case. This is more than 100,000. Kennedy there are people on the left who say thats not thats, and they are hopeful they will find the voting irregularities. But i think if this were an effort with pure intention, that it would be multipartisan and they would be going into states like nevadaen New Hampshire and arizona and minnesota where there were also closer margins. They are just not doing that. You cant say its this secret set of criteria keeping them in the three states that if they flip would give Hillary Clinton the presidency. Bret dr. Stein said in an interview she would have done the same thing if Hillary Clinton had won and donald trump was on the losing side of close states with suspected what she says results. You know, the evidence she points to is not that substantive. It is that the dnc was hacked. John podesta was hack. She doesnt have any pure data that any of these machines, despite select early to commissions in these states have come out and said they are confident in their elections. Kennedy these machines i pointed out to her are not online. Its not the same thing and one has nothing to do with the other. There is a massive flaw in her logical strain. I asked her last night, is this what you want to be remembered for . At this point it doesnt matter. This ways shell be remembered for. And for Hillary Clinton supporters he will lose again. Bret the bottom line jill stein is one of the major reasons Hillary Clinton lost the election. This is so ironic. Dr. Jill stein who is doing this recount is the reason Hillary Clinton lost some of those states. Kennedy if she got 1 of the vote and you are talking about three states. Four in you count pennsylvania. Bret, thank you for your time. Appreciate it. This whole thing about protecting democracy. This recount. Is it about the green party and a cash grab . Let me ask my party panel. I will start with you, you were shaking your head the whole time, especially when i was saying why not go to New Hampshire and minnesota. Do you think this an illegitimate effort if she only focuses on the states where hillary lost . There is a group of computer scientists who came out and said we are questioning these voting systems. There is a chance they were hacked. There are problems our voting systems across the board in New Hampshire, arizona, and pennsylvania. They werent necessarily hacked. With that being said, jill stein, i think she probably cut a deal with the democrats so that jill stein could take the fall and it would make her look better on the left so she didnt look like a spoiler. But this is a lot of money where contracts can go. We are expecting apartments in d. C. , we are expecting jobs. Now they have been able to pay their rent. You have someone who is marc elias. He makes 1,500 an hour. Consulting problems in washington. Thats the story no one is talking about. These are opportunities to make money. Kennedy the money is being concentrated in one place. It all adds up. Jill stein is looking more and more like a puppet. What if this works . What is hillary actually wins. What happens to the country. I would like to think that the silent majority that elected trump would do something about it, get out in the streets as it were like the left loves to do. But we can speculate as to what this is. But what it shows especially after trumps 18month campaign, they are still doing the same stuff that is going to get him a second term before he even starts his first. We are look at politicians doing things behind our back, underhanded things. We now have such a great example of how that isnt working or how it works with trump that you look at these people and go, really, you are going to keep doing this . Kennedy he needs to stop reacting to it. He needs stop with his own conspiracy speculation. Why . He needs to stop that right up to the presidency. It doesnt matter. Kennedy how dumb are people who donated to this . The irony is im guessing a lot of people who donated to this effort are the same people who talk about how dumb Trump Supporters are. The green party i think there are people bundling, they figured out a way to bundle these small donors make it look like mom and pop shops. But there is a much larger apparatus. Those of us who have the unfortunate reality of being on twitter know, this has been the liberal thing since the election, calling the election illegitimate, pointing out that hillary won the popular vote. I saw the jill stein thing retweeted 8 million times. Give money to this, give money to this. I think these people just finished bin Binge Watching scandal. Kennedy if Hillary Clinton doesnt win, just yesterday journalist ron fournier tweeted, raising doubts about the legitimacy of elections is part of clintons plans to keep her options open for 2020. Is she going to run again . This is third bernie. A 2020 run . Breaking news, democrats. Hillary clinton was not the future of the party in 2008, definitely isnt in 2016. Get the message. If you are going to go to clintons aide to talk about this, they want to start raising money now. How about looking at the future of the party . I think we need to reform the primary process which is dictate bid state parties. Thats where corruption really exists. Kennedy thats why they filled the coffers of superdelegates. Wouldnt you love to see her lose for a third time . That would be the on up side of the whole thing, watching her lose again. But tart now, and really get close start now and get close to those 14yearolds. Really get them on board. I dont think he will have to be the virtual reality. He has to be doing so well. She might be spending a lot of time there the next four years. Im torn over this. I would love to see the democrats be just that stupid to go ahead and nominate her again. But on the other hand, the end of the clintonispas has bent only bright spot. Kennedy very independentminded panel. They are returning later. Activists protested for a higher minimum wage today. Well explain the Crucial Detail they could be missing. Is donald trump trampling first is donald trump trampling First Amendment rights or this is your daughter. And she just got this. Ooh boy. But, youve got hum. So you can set this. And if she drives like this, you can tell her to drive more like this. Because youll get this.

Kennedy is president elect trump really going after the First Amendment or is his latest tweet political theater. He tweeted, nobody should be allowed to burn the American Flag. If they do there should be consequences. Loss of citizenship or a year in jail. The Supreme Court ruled decade ago its protected free speech. And the court also ruled the government cannot strip citizenship as a foam of punishment. Could this be a political ruse to get trumps enemies on the left to defend flag burning after an election over making America Great again. Joining me is judge napolitano. This is one of those areas where a president elect trump has been critical of Hillary Clinton for being anticonstitutional. But here hes in some hot water. Explain why. He has basically suggested and argued flag burning should be criminal and the punishment should be draconian. I have to assume he knows what the Supreme Court has ruled and this is his way of stirring the political pot and doesnt intend to mean the literal meaning of his word its been very clear now for 17 years, the Supreme Court by 54 decisions found that flag burning is lawful. We are not talking about burning the governments flag or someone elses flag. The statutes that were invalidated the Supreme Court found were written to suppress the idea of hating the flag or hating the country. The same laws that prohibited burning the flag permitted other kinds of public fires. If the government wants to ban all public fires because of a Public Safety need it can probably do that. But fit wants to permit fires in cookouts and camping and burning leaves, but prohibit burning the flag it cant do that because the First Amendment has kept the government out of the business of censoring speech and deciding what ideas can be expressed and why ideas cant. Kennedy hes walked some of his rhetoric back on several areas including whether hes going to go after Hillary Clinton. People were chanting lock her up. And he said she would be in jail if he were in charge of the laws. His supporters say you cant take everything he says litter rally. He may be coming down on the popular side of this. The American Flag is a universally recognized symbol of the human sacrifice of some for the human freedom of many. But you undercut the very reverence for the flag when you say to people you cant dishonor it in public. It stand for the right to dishonor it in public. I love the declaration of independence but im free to dishonor and disagree with the declaration of independence just like king george iii did when he threatened to hang Tom Thomas Jefferson for authoring it. Kennedy how would you go about stripping someone of citizenship. Not possible, not permitted since 1789, since the constitution came into existent. A legal permanent legal alien can have the permanency stripped. A naturalized citizen can have the citizenship stripped if there was fraud in the process of naturalizing. But a that are born citizen is an american citizen forever unless that person knowingly, intentionally and specifically gives up their citizenship. The government cant take it from you. Kennedy think of all the heinous crimes people committed and still maintained their citizenship. The constitution protects persons it doesnt matter if you are a good person or bad person, it doesnt matter if you were born here or came here illegally, you still get the same protection. The loss of citizenship would, symbolic, it wouldnt be substantive. It protects heinous acts. The First Amendment protects speech that we hate. Speech we love doesnt need the First Amendment. Kennedy thank goodness you are here on watches. Happy holidays now that christmastime is here. Finally celebrate. Have a little nothing. Donald trump nominated congressman tom price for health and Human Services secretary. Will the georgia lawmaker come up for with a cure torererere kennedy it looks like president elect trump has fired the first shot in his vow to break up obamacare. He nominated tom price to be the head of halifax and Human Services. Hes as bone saw. Hes an orthopedic surgeon. There is no one who knows more about obamacare than peter suderman. So lets talk about representative tom price. What does this pick say to you . So what it says to me is that the Trump Administration is positioning itself as strongly opposed to obamacare. Tom price is a really outspoken, ardent critic of the law going all the the way back to the beginning. And hes one of the few Congressional Republicans who released not just a vague plan, a couple ideas for how to replace the law. But a 250page legislative bill to repeal and replace obamacare. Thats an unusual thing. However, you have to remember that any repeal effort is not going to be driven by the Trump Administration. These laws get drawn up and get driven by the legislative branch. They come from congress. What this means is, it shows the Trump Administration is going to be symbolically sort of outspokenly opposed to obamacare. But it doesnt necessarily mean that republicans in congress are going to put together and pass an actual repeal and replace bill. Kennedy repealing it is much more difficult than dismantling it piece by piece which can be done with a party line vote. Senate republicans dont have a filibusterproof majority. Tom price has a strong policy background and a background in healthcare. But it brings up one of the most important issues about this. Way its going to do to the Insurance Market and the current premium prices. Hes saying, they want to keep the preexisting conditions clause. But it seems from what i have read, almost impossible to keep that without having the individual mandate. But they say it can be done. How do you do that . You can keep the preexisting conditions clause if it is not the same preexisting conditions clause that is in obamacare. The one in obamacare, you dont have a mandate, then the law ends up looking like it does now except even worse off because you just dont have people buying into the system. But what tomorrow prices plan and other peoples plans doyles allow insurance could to have well at a standard market rate if they maintain whats called continuous coverage. As long as you buy a plan in your 20s and stick with that plan, even if you get sick or get cancer or something expensive to treat, the Insurance Company cant raise your rates. Thats one way they might do it and say we are keeping the preexisting conditions exclusions. But if you went without coverage for a year then that would change and there would be high risk pools under tom prices plan. Tom prices plan may not be the best guide to what congress does. Congress gets to write the laws, not President Trump or tom price. Kennedy but he has friends on capitol hill. Hes very close to speaker of the house paul ryan. Kennedy how close is ryans plan with prices plan . There is some overlap. I would say the best way to describe the difference is tom prices plan is a little more conservative and repeels all of medicaid without offering replacement. The paul ryan plan currently would allow states who have expanded medicaid to continue to do so albeit with less federal funding. Coming up, the party panel returns. Should the federal minimum wage get bumped up to 15 an hour . Coming up next. Kennedy welcome back. If you wanted a happy meal today you may have been out of luck as activists protested to raise the minimum wage to 15 an hour. More than twice the current federal rate. We are told protesters did everything from fast food joints to airports. Like ohare in chicago. So do workers deserve a 15 minimum wage or would the raise hurt businesses and kill jobs . The party panel is back. So andy, i will start with you, this isnt just a movement happening on the left. President elect trump talked about raising the federal minimum wage. I see this framed as a new fight in the trump era. Trump said he thinks the federal minimum wage should be raised to at least 10 an hour. That sets the floor for the states. Kennedy it also sets the ceiling which is something people dont talk about that. People will never make more than that. I dont know what that means. That will be it. You might be right about that. There will always be states that push it above the floor. 10 dates are above 10 an hour. Kennedy a bunch of states voted for you a higher minimum wage like arizona and colorado. I believe businesses that can afford it should treat their workers well span pay them a living wage. Kennedy if there is so much cronyism going on its not an honest free market. Oftentimes people talk about a federal minimum wage. They are talking about people getting in on the ground floor. You cant do that if you are a minority male. If there is a 15 wage. It will be a more competitive market. Fewer jobs, more automation and less opportunity. This should be entry level. I dont understand why people believe entry level jobs have to be a living wage that you can raise a family on and drive a new car. Thats why its the minimum wage. It makes you want to do better. Learn more, get a trade as my parents used to say because they my i wasnt going to school. Its entry level and there is no reason people should have to carry the burden of running a Small Business. Kennedy a lot of people pushing these protests forward have never run Small Businesses. Small businesses have already been decimated by doddfrank. They are see rap rating faster than they are starting in this economy. Thats heartbreaking. These are the people who employ most of the new people. Small businesses are decimated because of globalization. When walmart comes into town and they are restricting workers pay. Kennedy you are talking about retail. If you are talking about manufacturing, they cant get Small Business loans because of doddfrank and they cant afford to employ every Single Person for 15 an hour for seasonal manufacturing. The reason why the Small Businesses dont have the power is because of globalization. Manufacturing jobs being sent over seas. My mother was the head of the chamber of commerce. We lost half of our businesses in a small town outside buffalo. Kennedy you think unionization has anything to do with manufacturing being cost prohibitive . Federal minimum wage laws are just a way for the left to seem like they care. Because if they really looked at the data it would show these are completely heartless and marginalize the very group of people you claim to want to help. Why do we stifle wages while ceos can get paid 10 times what they were making 10 years ago. When young people having to go to school and have to support their families are living off 7 an hour. Thats not set by the government. Kennedy if the left had their way, it would be. I love that everyone comes with their passion. Thank you so much. Fake news stories have sent shock waves through the 2016 election prompting google and facebook to ice out fake news sites. My next guest has some major concerns. Why are these Tech Companies going to be the ones who determine whether the news you put out kennedy it might sound ridiculous. 20something could swing the entire president ial. I recollection. But that possibility is whats behind facebook and googles recent crackdown on fake news sites that in the runup to the vote ran headlines such as hillary confirms hillary sold weapons to isis, then drops the another bombshell. Pope francis endorses donald trump for president and released statement. Who gets to be the arbiter of what we see or read online. You made your name documenting a lot of stuff thats happening on occupy wall street. There was a need for immediate digital news and you helped fill that void. Why is facebook and google cracking down on these fake news sites so worrisome to you . To have Tech Companies deciding what news is real and what isnt is frightening. If you are familiar with what happened with facebook trending, they had a staff that was biased filtering out conservative news. Kennedy a conservative came forward and said that. They decided to get rid of that all together and let the computer handling it. And fake news stories are dominating the news cycle. We are getting extreme in our biases or you can let the robots take or and its just fake news. Kennedy what is the answer . Do you try to get a group of people who are politically diverse to get appropriate news to put in the feed . Do you spray the robots with water when they are bad . Journalism is suppose to be the solution to this problem. But journalism doesnt work anymore. The Business Model of writing factual news is expensive with no guarantee the audience will care about the story you are telling. Kennedy news is essentially free now. Its very different than it was 10 or 15 years ago. If someone in their 20s came to you and said i want to start a media company, what would you tell them . You have got to work hard, find good stories and follow the ethics in journalism to a t. If you want to start a media company, you make fake news. Kennedy justin kholer makes 10,000 to 30,000 a month. He said f. B. I. Agent suspected in hillary leak found dead in apparent suicide. He said he just wanted to show how fervent the altright was. Do you buy that . Not at all. Hes also a relatively welloff person because of these fake stories. He claimed he was trying to infiltrate the altright echo chamber. He knew what he was doing in my opinion. Its easy to make a viral story. Write a story about a trump protester who accidentally killed somebody. Write a story about a racist cop violating someones rights and every liberal will share the story. People figured it out. I can do whatever i want, nobody will do anything about it and well make a ton of money. If this guy is make 10,000 to 30,000 a month. Shouldnt someone sue him for libel . The f. B. I. , its their responsibility to make sure kennedy you are say take it to the courts. Flesh this stuff out and make them do a better job as a reader and consumer of finding more than one source. As journalists we need to take care of the problem. Hillary has to do something about it if they write about hillary. Kennedy really fascinating. Coming up, is your beloved pet coming up, is your beloved pet duck a cleverly disguised ghost . Family road trip fun check engine. Not fun but, youve got hum. Thats like driving with this guy. All you do is press this, and in plain english, coolant, youll know whats wrong. If you do need a mechanic, just press this. Thank you for calling hum. And if you really need help, help can find you, automatically, 24 7. Because you put this, in here. Hum by verizon. The technology designed to make your car smarter, safer and more connected.

Its good to owes push the food boundaries. Try new things expanding your palate. Watch this baby taste delicious creamy yogurt for the first time. It many cold, too. Oh, yummy. Kennedy so not yummy. It reminds me of a really hung over guy at 7 00 in the morning trying to choke town a kale smoothie. That baby. He would probably rather nibble the pack. Topic number 2. Its not okay to mess with a womans purse unless you are confident she is smuggling heroin tonight and you are jonessing. A lady has provided top five reasons not to lift. And i assume the first reason is basic descentsy. Freedom number one,. 22 revolver. Oh, a gun. Okay. I assume the second reason is respecting ones privacy. Reason number two. Ruger. 380. Kennedy its so portable. Im surprised she didnt go for the one sift. Another gun. Reason number five, smith and weson,. 44 magnum. Lets see if i can take this bad guy out. Kennedy i dont think you made his day. But i can see a bit of a pattern here. The last thing her purse is another gun, right . Dont mess with them. Topic number three. They say laughter is the key. In my opinion a good chuckle can poa says some sort of medicinal effect. Take this bird. He has the cure for polio. This guy resides in symbio wildlife park in australia. Got on ya meat. Ironic thing about busting into hysterics, the laughter itself is quite contagious and its already starting to spread. [laughing] kennedy hes not even australian. Topic number 4. Russell brand is the ape a hamlin con of ill informed white people but hes not all bad because he has a dog and that dog hates it when he sings. [ ] snoatd taking a break from all our worries sure does help a lot would you like to get away sometimes you want to go where Everybody Knows your name kennedy the dog is clearly a libertarian. Hes clearly irritated. Remember cheers . We cant show saw clip from the real cheers so well have to show you a low budget bootleg version from minnesota instead. Hey, sammy, did you know being king of the winter carnival means devouring one . Sammy boy, knowledge. Kennedy topic number 5. Meet polly the goat. She is blind as a bat and has neurological issues. The cruelty of someone putting a blinds mentally infirm goat in a shopping cart until it palingss out from embarrassment. She cant see how ridiculous she looks. But if you rub some spice on her shanks and throw her on a spit ill bet she would be delicious and she would never see it coming. They could layer her like a goatducken.
