Transcripts For FBC Kennedy 20170110

Nominees desperate to get votes. Democratic senators like chuck schumer. Powerless and helpless, chucks angels have to watch up to five nominees a day parade through respective senate committees. And wednesday alone they head off to their grills to get seared or coddled. Jeff sessions who is looking to become attorney general takes the stage Tuesday Morning. Hes a wellliked senator. Even with colleagues who clash with him on policy. Hopefully he will be pushed by senators like Dianne Feinstein who see the ongoing referendum on weed gaining Critical Mass as voters exercise their right to stay the hell out of their bongs and medicine cabinets. Its not just Democratic Senators who laced up their boots. There were polarizing picks. Rand paul and marco rubio floated questions. Democrats arent only ones who worry. Tillerson has a foot locker filled with putins panties. John mccain and Lindsey Graham arent quite ready to invite sexy rexy to sit at their lunch table. These unpredictable cabinet picks will give senators a lot of issues to dissect or too much time to frein before a captive audience. Hopefully they will focus on whats most important for americans, and less on auditioning for the next cecil b. Demille golden globe award. Im kennedy. Theres going to be fireworks on capitol hill all week long. What can we expect . Heidi is here to break it down. Welcome back. Lets talk about jeff sessions. Hes going first tomorrow morning. Do you expect he will have a tough time from republicans as well as a lot of rabid Senate Democrats . Probably. When you have say tough time, lets just say in the end all of these guys i would argue especially sessions. Behind it all the secret that all of us reporters who cover capitol hill like sessions on a personal basis. But they will use the hearings to put up flares about the issues that concern them during a trump presidency. For most members its not personal. Its about the issues they care about like voting rights. And they feel like they dont necessarily have a good idea of where a president elect trump stands on these issues so they will try to use the glare of the media spotlight to draw all of these nominees out on these issues and pin them down and get them on the record. Thats a good point. They have been unable to tarnish president elect trumps shield. So they will go after people who havent been through the Senate Grilling process. But someone like Rex Tillerson is going to have a much harder time. There are some republicans, a lot of democrats will go after sessions. But i think you are going to see the most vitriol saved for tillerson. Do you think he is the Single Person who will have the hardest time making it through this confirmation process . You are right. And we have republicans on record. You have got republicans who said they might vote against him. I think at the end of the day hes going get through. But lets look at Rex Tillerson a bit. In terms of russia, in terms of big money, business kinds of taking over the cabinet, and in terms of the oil industry. Hes the next us of all of these issues. This also an opportunity for Rex Tillerson who had good press in recent days about Rex Tillerson the man. There was a great anecdotal story about him having served on jury duty and hes a good guy. There will be an opportunity for him to shine in that way a bit. But just like with sessions. Tillerson is going to be kinds of a magnet for all of these issues, the democrats and some republicans like john mccain and Lindsey Graham want to draw out on russia. You have Kellyanne Conway confirming yes, perhaps donald trump would want to lift sanctions on russia. Alarm bells will be going off across congress and particularly with members about what this all means. And they will try to pin tillerson down on what does donald trump intend to do visa advice russia with all these intel reports streaming. Kennedy they are going to try to box him in a corner and flesh out what this countrys policy is going to be moving forward. I think its an important question, and i think sessions and tillerson will have a lot to answer for. Betsy devos will have a tough time. I tend to agree with her on a lot of things, but i think shell be a lightning rod. She fits into a broader narrative of a different philosophical approach to managing these agencies i think democrats are more concerned about. Republicans are probably elated because her support for more Charter Schools and vouchers are things the Republican Party has long pushed. But for democrats, they are viewing some of these nome mys like the these nominees as the cabinet version of the tea party. They want to change the underpinning of their approach like betsy devos to education. Kennedy which is fantastic. Take you a sand blaster and jack ham tore these below thed federal agencies. I challenge all of them to do just that. Now let me bring in the party panel tonight. Harris faulkner is here. She is anchor of fox four and cohost of numbe outnumbered. Welcome everyone. Its wonderful that you are here. Last night of course was the golden globes. As you might expect, hollywood had some issues with donald trump and quite a few people got political. Everybody is talking about meryl streep. She spoke after winning her Lifetime Achievement award. While never mentioning donald trump by name. She suggested his presidency will ruin america. Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose. No, we all lose. Kennedy trump respond on twitter, meryl streep, one of the most overrated actresses in hollywoodnt know me but attacks last night at the golden globes. Meryl streep says we have to make sure the principled press holds this president accountable. I thought i was watching the sequel to postcards from the edge. A great performance on her part. I worried more about the people we havent talked about. There are a few people in the audience who maybe didnt agree with her. There were memes out on the internet. Here is mel. If you paint all of hollywood with that brush, what does that say about their ability to connect their audience who they want to pay in some cities 2 oh a ticket to see them play on the big screen. They are not resonating with the rest of the country. Only people who think like and talk like them. If i am an exec, i will have to ask her are you going to care about the other half of the audience . Kennedy she takes care of politics but the institution whereas they dont employ a lot of women at the top positions. She dropped the ball. I consider myself an expert on that because im a giants fan. But they carry on as if trump beat out mother teresa. Like the mourning over who trump beat. Hillary clinton would drink your soul if she thought she would win a state to do it. They are so dramatic. This is a reaction obama made the celebrities think we care about what they have to say. Hes been so cozy with them in the last 8 years. They cant georgia a them that there will be a president who doesnt care. They thought the white house would be their hamptons home this summer. Now they are not even going to the barbeque. Kennedy you pointed out that ryan gosling actually had the moment that meryl streep should have had. He won for la la land. And he said thank you to my wife for take care of our baby, for being pregnant and having our next baby and caring for her brother who later died of cancer and he dedicated the award for him and he said thank you for letting me do this frivolous thing i do. It set the right tone. Merrill and the other dont understand you are not curing cancer. Kennedy what we do is really important. And we are the lost line of defense. Harris it feels like tinseltown is politically constipated. They havent figured out how to smooth things out. She what if she had to play somebody from the other side of the aisle. Kennedy she played margaret thatcher. But they are not her words. They are actors. I think any time she gets sanctimonious and political, im sure she was reassured by everyone on her team that she was so courageous. No, meryl make it about you, dont make it about donald trump. You gave your power away to a man. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell says they are going to start dynamiting obamacare by the end of the week. President obama is warning 0 million americans can lose their healthcare and Healthcare Providers are warning hospitals could be hemorrhaging cash which could send tidal waves through the economy. Republicans do have some plans. They have been bad about voicing them so a majority of people understand there are some programs they could put in place that would stop the hemorrhaging. They are not just going to chop the arm off the economy and let it bleed to death, or are they . There are things they could have done prior, opening up the market across state lines and allowing more Health Savings accounts. I hope they take it opportunity to do those mark heat based Solutions Rather than sell our own version of obamacare and this idea that our government is better government when the solutions are getting the government out of it. Kennedy get the government out of it because everything is too damn high. You make the point, if you are going to break your arm. We are not even losing good coverage. My deductible is 3,000. If i break my arm im better off getting in my car and crashing it because my car deductible is 500. Kennedy hes going to commit understand fraud. The people who will feel the brunt much this is geico. Well crash our car to get better. Kennedy what im hopeful for in any regard is all the ideas get heard at the table. Senator rand paul has some outside of the box thinking how to get this done. I hope republicans listen to everybody. Hearing senator Mitch Mcconnell say they are going to pushing this through so quickly might make critic worry that not everything will be considered. Then you will have to read to it figure out whats in it. Kennedy there are two problems here. Too much of a consensus waters everything down and it makes it incredibly slow. But we cant have opacity. You have to have some transparency in the process. And the process has been so traumatized its Strong Enough to withstand that. We are at the beginning of the tax season for everybody. We are paying higher taxes until we hit that magical point. So everybody so everybody is looking at their outflow right now. And if healthcare was a concern in 16, its a greater concern in 17. So people want to know its going to be okay. I agree the messaging is a big issue for republicans. Maybe they have a brilliant idea. Kennedy they have to lock it up and figure it out. At the university of the chicago they are offering a cash reward for tour guides to hide the citys rampant murder. Donald trump says he want america and russia to have a better relationship. But some senate republicans, are but some senate republicans, are they pushing for another but some senate republicans, are they pushing for another 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. Kennedy president elect trump cast her doubt on a u. S. Intelligence report that said president putin was behind the leaks which Julian Assange. But self Republican Leaders including South Carolina senator lyndsey graham, no surprise there. Donald trump has to accept that russia is not our friend. Here is what i think we should do. We should all republicans and democrats condemn russia for what they did. To my republican friends who are gleeful, you are making a huge mistake. You are a political hack. You are not a republican, you are not a patriot. If this isnt about us, i never know what is about us. When one party is compromise, all parties are compromised. Welcome back, ambassador bolton. Kennedy you have spoken in tough terms about russia. Where do you stand on all this. Do you think russia quoteunquote hacked the election . What effect did that have . I dont think there is any question russia tried to meddle in the elect. I dont know of anybody who actually looked at the evidence. Not just the conclusory reports. I think we are a little hyper thyroid about this phrase hacked the election. If you asked a year ago what it meant, no one would have said it means only the specific act of voting on election day. Whats objectionable about this is any evident by any Foreign Government to affect our elect is an attack on the constitutional system. Kennedy what do we do now . Rex tillerson is going to be grilled in the confirmation process to become secretary of state. What do you do about this Going Forward . I think you have to see this particular russian interference as the last in a long series of russian cyber activity meddling in the United States more broadly. The same is true of china. So this is a much more serious problem than the isolated question of what happened with respect to our election. I think the principle reason russia thinks it can get away with this sort of thing is because for 8 years barack obama has done next to nothing. In the cyber world as in the real world you need to create structures of deterrents that convince wouldbe perpetrators like russia that it will cost them a lot more to engage tonight than not engaging in it. Sanctions are fine but i dont think they are nearly enough. Kennedy Hillary Clinton wanted donald trump to be or opponent. There are those who say Vladimir Putin meddled in the election because he wanted trump to be president. How does trump being president benefit them . I dont get the logic. I were an autocratic russian ruler i would want a weak person like Hillary Clinton to be the american president. I think we ought to try and hold two thoughts in our head at the same time. Number one, russia did try to meddle in the election through cyberspace and a variety of other methods. And the obama administration, the democratic party, the news media, they want to spin hillarys defeat into some miss misogynous factor. If Julian Assange is not a paid russian agent. The guy is a thief. Thats his business. The notion that he would say anything publicly that was truthful about his actual sources is dead wrong. He said his source wasnt russia. Maybe his source wasnt russia. But what was his sources source . You could do this a lot of different ways. I think hes an enemy of america. And everything he says should be treated with suspicion. Coming up. President obama says america is more safe now than when he took office. Since the social media makes the country seems so much worse. Country seems so much worse. Ill get into it with[phone buz] some things are simply impossible to ignore. The strikingly designed lexus nx turbo and hybrid. The suv that dares to go beyond utility. This is the pursuit of perfection. snap achoo snap achoo achoo snap snap achoo achoo feel a cold coming on .

Ything, even mermutts. 1940s aqua music burke and we covered it, february third, twentysixteen. Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum president obama has a week and a half left in office. After 8 years as commanderinchief tomorrow night hes giving his farewell address to the facing. We are told we can expect the president to wax poet egg ail about how he saved the economy and how obamacare is better than fairy dust. But local insiders may he may warn president elect trump against dividing the nation because as we all know the country has been in perfect harmony since he took office. What do we have to look forward to tomorrow . Let me ask richard fowler. You make it sound so ominous. Kennedy as a lover of liberty i dont have much to look back on and cheer about and i dont know what i have to look forward to. But im not so concerned about president elect trump as i am about how the president is going to sum up his time in office. More importantly, i remember this is something i shared on the air many times. I remember president reagans farewell address and i remember feeling pride in my president and the country. And i was very sentiment at that night. How can president obama give young people in this country who feel they dont have a lot to look forward to, something to smile about. Obviously there is a lot of grob growth under president obama. Job growth under president obama. Hes a great ortore hes a gt orator. I think he will lay out a vision of what we can be if america chooses to work together. Just like those raw cans who wanted barack obama to fail, i think they were wrong as well. Sg this country together. And i think beyond trying to bring the country together he will check down some of his accomplishments. Thats what every farewell address is about. Kennedy he made the middle east an absolute disaster, the red line in syria was a joke. Benghazi was an embarrassment. Hes droning people. He pulled out of iraq only having to get back in there. Thousands of troops in afghanistan and iraq. Syria is an absolute a quagmire. So how is he going to take Something Like Foreign Policy and shellack that turd. Whats the one thing this president did well for you . Ways one thing you can say i appreciate president obama did x. He did x on a state dinner night . You understand what im trying to ask you. Kennedy i know what you are saying. He deported a lot of people. He increased the surveillance state. He aloud lgbtq folks. He pushed momentum on that. Kennedy he won california because he came out against gay marriage in 2008. Then his position changed and a lot of people in the building behind me whose position hasnt changed on gay marriage. A majority of millennials, 80 to 90 think Marriage Equality is okay. Kennedy ill tell you this webs a great speaker. If he gets out of his own ego and talks about the greater good, and the importance of being the first africanamerican president regardless of how you feel Race Relations have gone in this country, some of his poignant moments have come talking about race. If he signals to the country we should come together for the next president , that will be i think he will do that. And beyond that i think he will talk about what hes been able to accomplish. Whether people like the Affordable Care act or not. Its given relief to thousands of people who used to work in coal mines who have black lung disease. If you are a woman who is pregnant as a preexisting condition. Im not saying hes the best. The job Participation Rate has dropped precipitously and those jobs are often parttime jobs. They are not the kinds of jobs you can retire on. It was a hot pile of garbage. You had 8 years to clean up the garbage. Tomorrow night dont miss fbns live coverage of obamas farewell address. Followed by cavuto coast to coast. Coming up, the party panel returns. Hillary clinton will probably never be president. Now word is she may jump back into politics and run for mayor of a very big city. Could it be yours . Hey, searching for a great used car . Yeah you got it.

A 500 reward is being offered to anyone who can dispel the citys crime. My party panel is back. 500 in party cash. The winner will spend it on a bulletproof vest. Kennedy you cant arm yourselves, you night as well get the cash. It drives me crazy that we have turned chicago into this partisan thing its a sad story we all aggrieve on. Its horrible. We need to do something. I have family in chicago. When they want to get away from it all, they vacation in aleppo. Kennedy baghdad bob, the iraqi minister of information who just engaged in so much overwhelming proper began today that he became laughable. Thats what they are asking these cam numbers tour guides to do. Harris what are the stipulations of this . You could get two roundtrip particular totes anywhere else. Fierce many people use could afford to. It would offset the balance. It isnt just that these were the highest rate of murder for them. Its that its new york and l. A. Combined. Those are much bigger cities. What are you comparing this to . Imagine if they had a p. R. Campaign. Hey, well give 500 if you can convince people the water in michigan is safe. Overwhelming rationalization. They are asking people to lie. They are paying them to lie. Step out of the truck outline when you are filming your video. Kennedy Hillary Clinton has kept a low profile after her surprise defeat to Hillary Clinton. But she attended a broadway play and she received a standing ovation. She is so popular some democrats are urging her to run for mayor against bill deblasio. Harris i didnt know she was a postbellum africanamerican woman. Im wondering how she got a standing ovation. When i saw it, fantasia was in it. She also got a standing oh straition for what she did on the stage. Kennedy she doesnt want to do actual work. But being a professional victim is perfect for her. Now she can go to receptions and openings and galas. And people applaud her. It was so surreal to watch everyone filming them on her phones. The last time she was around thats blackberries, she smashed them with a hammer. I think the story here number one is not even the clintons can get hamilton tickets, they had to go see the color purple. Can we stop with the hillary hiking in the woods selfies . She is not hiking. She is trying to find her server. She is Walking Around with one of those old man on the beach metal detectors. If you look behind her you will see huma with a shovel. I would like to see her go to a country concert. Pence went to see hamilton. Talk about being in your bubble. Yeah, you are going to get standing ovation there. Go somewhere where maybe you are not.

Kennedy ask anybody who has ridden in a city bus, and they will tell you they kind of suck. Uber is opening up a new viet called movement a new site called movement. Uber says they are doing this in hopes Cities Services lynn corporate it in the future. How does movement directly benefit me . I think it could benefit you if cities used the data iesh has and design cities that work more efficiently so we can take advantage of ridesharing. They will use it to maybe promote certain types of buses to make them bert so you and i will actually start riding them. Kennedy the City Government is going to shut them out. The data shows uber trusts City Government more than they did in the past. When you have cities like austin going out of the way to kick out ride sharing, thats the exception, not the norm. Kennedy uber testified itself in places like new york city with this data showing its not their drivers who are causing congestion. What can they benefit from know being these instant traffic patterns and speeds. Lets look at the inauguration. D. C. Will be better able to plan because they can look at other large events and see how that affected traic around the city. All these cities will be able to look at historical uber trips to see how this will affect their residents communities. Kennedy is this a form of lobbying or selfpresence racial or something showing us the next evolution of uber . I think they are trying to share the great data they have. But there is a little bit of selfinterest. They want to give the city some information because a lot of cities like new york are trying to go after personal information. They will say well throw you this bone to develop your cities but leave our rider data alone. Kennedy i like uber and the sharing economy. Are wifi signals confusing swimmers . Hi my name is tom. Im raph. My name is anne. Im one of the real live attorneys you can talk to through legalzoom. Dont let unanswered legal questions hold you up, because were here, were here, and weve got your back.

[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 kennedy when you are trapped in a maze, come to me and ill show you the part of the maze where cool kids hang out. Topic number one. The Animal Kingdom seems so nice and fuzzy.

We all know what the most beautiful instrument is. No, its not vi viola. Its the recorder, the cheap plastic recorders they pass out in middle school music class which one aspiring musician can take to a new level with a rendition of celine deons humanless, my heart will go on. [ ] all right. But lake all creative jean yus, he hadd jean yows he had to be caught by a greater master. I stated that horse for 2 1 2 years and we wroak up right before my honeymoon. Stop i can number three. When cats arent busy tying babies to train tracks or eating lasagna and hating mondays, they can be found laying around houses being slightly less useful than a paper weight. Like this mouse breather. I know we all tried. I get it. But i have never known a dog to say no to playing catch. The feline finally worked up the energy to go chase after the ball. That was me new years eve. Topic number 4. Call me sentimental. But i like my bread baked the oldfashioned way by a volcano which some icelandic people are doing for kicks. Hot springs can reach up to 212 degrees fahrenheit. Making the land they walk on the perfect oven. You could cook lots of things with volcanoes like steak. Or cans of ravioli and evil hob bevil robits. Rob evil houston obbitts. The u. S. Postal service may be known for a slogan that neither rain nor snow nor dark of night will recent their carriers from blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But did you not apply to the georgia tech swim team in their swim meat with georgia tech was canceled due to snow, they decided their season schedule would not be the on thing to shrink that day. They swam in the snow and reported temperatures of 20 below zero. Their candy cane snapped off. None of the players suffered injuries such as frostbite or hypothermia.

Cant even believe that, i am 52 years old, and i am feeling really good about my skin right now. Itsits just so nice to have that confidence and to walk out of the house feeling that way is everything
