Nomination he was governor nikki haley to be u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Trump said she is a deal maker and she is indicating when the president elect asks you to represent the country, you do it. That is even though governor nikki haley and donald trump did not agree during the primaries. We heard today that mitt romney is still under consideration as secretary of state and that is something Mike Huckabee believes should only be offered on one condition. He attacked him on a personal level about his character, integrity, honor. When you do that, there is only one way i think mitt romney could even be considered for a post like that and that is that he goes to the microphone in a very public place and reputates everything he said in that famous Salt Lake City speech. And everything he said after that. A transition official told me tonight not to expect any more big announcements about cabinet posts until after the holiday. We wont know about ben carsons stat us us as hud secretary until after friday at the earliest. The president elect put out a thanksgiving wish for a prayer for healing after what he said was a brutal campaign. Thank you so much. President elect donald trump released a thanksgiving message that peter just referred to calling for unity. Lets take a look. Weve just finished a long and bruising political campaign. Emotions are raw and tensions just dont heal overnight. It doesnt go quickly. Unfortunately. But we have before us the chance now to make history together. To bring real change to washington. Real safety to youre cities. And real prosperity to our communities including our inner cities. So important to me, and so important to our country. But to succeed, we must enlist the effort of our entire nation. Joining us now with reaction, our Fox News Contributor lisa booth from the Washington Times and Fox News Contributor, charlie hurt, and former Clinton Polster and Fox News Contributor doug shoen. Great to see all of you tonight. Hi, monica. Hi. In many ways, donald trump ran the first 21st century post ideological campaign. And i think what were seeing now in this flurry of cabinet appointments is that his choices are reflecting that. Lets start with you on this question of who he is putting in these key positions. It does seem like he is reaching for strong accomplished people who will help him carry forth his agenda and vision for the country. But it looks like he is approaching forming a government the way he would go about hiring for one of his businesses. Do you agree with that . Do you think thats positive . Absolutely, monica. I think that he is displaying the exact sort of temperament that i think was the word they all used that everyone during the primary and during the general election said that he didnt have. He not only has a, you know, broader country that he has to unite, he has to unite the Republican Party and you know, the way to do that is by picking people like nikki haley. I dont know why somebody who is governor of South Carolina would want to be u. N. Ambassador. Sounds like a terrible job compared to being governor of South Carolina, but for what donald trump needs to get done, it is a very good pick. She is a very appealing figure in the among the establishment and you know youre going to hear a lot of guff from some of the people that were with him from the beginning. But you know, everybodys go to be disfie satisfied with something. This is something he needs do. Lisa, to charlies point about party unity, there is also a question about bringing the country together. After eight years with barack obama we can argue the country is more divided than ever. How do they what do they mean for both bringing the Party Together and trying to get the country on board with his agenda and what he would like to do . I think the best way for donald trump to try to bring the countries together is by success. By creating jobs. By doing things he said he can do. I think if you build a stronger country you build a stronger america, i think people will start coming together. I think thats what he is doing with some of his cabinet choices and people that he is choosing to surround himself with. What he is doing is identifying and bringing people in that are independent thinkers. That are smart. That have a proven track records of success. Thats what donald trump said he was going to do from the beginning. He was going to identify the best people. Surround himself with the best people. Thats what he has done. I think americans should feel assured that donald trump will surround himself with smart and competent people. But also you know, if you look at instances of senator jeff sessions, or even general flynn, who also have track records of being mavericks of sort, of having that independent line of thinking, i think thats the biggest problem with washington, d. C. And the reason why people elected donald trump is they wanted change. They wanted a change to the bureaucracy of the failed mistakes of the past. I think having independent thinkers, people thinking outside the box, bringing Innovative Solutions is exactly what this country needs. Doug, you are my favorite democrat. Or one of them anyway. When you watch president elect trump putting together a cabinet like this, more along the lines of hiring for a business rather than the traditional approach of installing loyalists and cronies into these top positions, is it sort of reminiscent of what jfk did in building his government which was the best and the brightest . Yes, it is. And one of the things that john f. Kennedy did, which with the countrys benefit, is to bring in Douglas Dillon a republican of secretary of the treasury. That led to tax cuts that stimulated our economy, created jobs. I think that donald trump has made enormous efforts. I think youre exactly right. And hes right. That country is coming together. I would say that the more inclusive the better. So if trump were to do what john f. Kennedy did before, and even barack obama, who i disagree with on virtually everything, brought in bob gates and he brought in chuck hagel. Again he in an attempt to unify. If donald trump reach us out to the few democrats like me who are willing to praise him and give him not only the benefit of the doubt but our full support, i believe we will be better still. But he is off to a great start. And his message tonight and message yesterday were exactly right, monica. Charlie, nothing succeeds like success. With this team, if he moves with all deliberate speed in the first 100 days, particularly with a pro growth economic agenda, tax reform, rolling back regulations, repealing and replacing obama care, filling Supreme Court vacancy, if he moves that quickly, particularly on the economy and gets this economy roaring of the kind that we saw during the reagan years for example, annual growth rate 6, 8 will, 9 , wont that silence the opposition . The left is never really going to go away but the democratic opposition will have a hard time criticizing him. Absolutely. The adage that rising times lift all votes applies here. I think what i lisa said a moment ago is exactly right. Nothing quiet people quite the way, you know, any critics on both sides. Both republicans and democrats quite like having a successful economy come roaring back. And i think that you know, and i think that what were seeing with a lot of these picks right now are these very much outside the box picks with, you know, with devos for education secretary. And talk that ben carson will be the secretary of hud. Those are very thats not the sort of picks you expected to get from this guy. And i think it reveals that he does want to to do big things and doing big things is what he promised. And he has a unique opportunity just wait barack obama did eight years ago, and failed to execute. Donald trump has a unique opportunity to do great big things and hopefully he will convert better than president obama did. Yeah, you know, lisa, we just heard that thanksgiving message from the president elect. And look, he wasnt elected to take care of the far left or maintain Barack Obamas legacy. In fact the exact opposite. He was elected to reputate it and turn it all back. But that message on thanksgiving eve about unity and healing divisions and i will be the president for all of the people, he is making it really tough for his critics, right . He is not providing the kind of ammunition that they expected him to. Something tells me they will still find things to criticize him for. But youre right, monica. I think he sort of set the ground work. Set the tone and he did that on, when he gave his announcement or his yeah, his speech, not on election yeah, election night, or the day after. Sorry. When he gave his first speech as president elect he set the ground work and set the tone for the kind of president wasnt to be with the unify message. He will get people together by getting people back on track. A ot of the attacks by the Mainstream Media will fall to the way side. People will be happy if they have a job, back to work, paying their bills on time. You mentioned economy earlier, president obama has been an obstructionist in so many ways, to growing economy, you look at energy, something president obama mentioned in his video that he gave, updating on what first hundred days will look like. Energy alone just releasing federal lands that president obama has been prohibiting and restricting from energy exploration. That can create jobs. Get people working again. Something like the keystone pipeline. So many opportunities that donald trump can work towards to get americans working again and i think bring unity. Yeah. Unleashing the traditional american engine of growth. Up next, top trump allies are warning the president elect against mitt romney as secretary of state. Is it possible for the former rivals to now Work Together . Our panelist, coming right back with reaction. Later, liberal Mainstream Media continues to take shots at donald trump. What else is new . We will show you the latest example and get reaction. All that and more as hannity continues. Donald trump. What else is new . We will show you the latest example and get reaction. All that and [vo] quickbooks introduces jeanette. And her new business i do, to go. Jeanette was excellent at marrying people. But had trouble getting paid. Not a good time, jeanette. Even worse. Now im uncomfortable. But heres the good news, jeanette got quickbooks. Send that invoice, jeanette. Looks like they viewed it. And, tada paid twice as fast. Oh, shes an efficient officiant. Way to grow, jeanette. Get paid twice as fast. Visit quickbooksdotcom. According to reports, 2012 president ial nominee mitt romney is the leading contender to be the next secretary of state. But some of president elect Donald Trumps top allies are speaking out against the potential move. Take a look. I think the vast majority of Trump Supporters will initially be very unhappy and will be reminded of all the things that romney said over the year. I can think of 20 other people who would be more naturally compatible with the trump vision of Foreign Policy. Right. Im still very unhappy that mitt did everything he could to derail donald trump. He didnt just go after him from a standpoint of saying i disagree with his policy on immigration or business agree with his policy on taxes, he attacked him on a personal level about list character, integrity, honor. In terms of governor romney, i think the secretary of state position is such that, and all the cabinet positions, you have to be callfide and capable. Number two, have you to be loyal to what president elect trump said his vision is for the world back with us now, lisa booth, charlie hurt and doug chone. Doug, let me start with you. There is a pledge odd to everything donald trump does. If mitt romney is secretary of state, is this a case of keep your friends close and your enemies closer . Much like what president obama did with mrs. Clinton making her secretary of state . In other words that it is better to have your critics inside the tent rather than sniping at you from the outside . I think that is certainly part of it. But i think there is a bigger message here. By having governor romney as secretary of state, something i enthusiastically endorse, you both continue to unify the Republican Party and the country, and also you offer a different but compatible vision of that with the president elect to the United States. Mitt romney said that russia is the greatest strategic threat to the United States. I agree with that. He has spoken about chinese bullying, terror, iran, isis and need to upgrade our military. He has a vision and stature in the world. And to consider romney for reasons that Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee and Kellyanne Conway said but shows that donald trump is a big man with Big Personality and the ability to look past the election to what i think are the greater and broader interests. Not only of himself but of the United States of america. Charlie, i do think that donald trump respects governor romney. I think he respects his intelligence, his negotiating skills, his abilities as a turn around artist. Even his regal bearing which is something you would desire in a secretary of state. But given that past comments and the acrimony that came from governor romney during the primary process, do you think he is somebody that President Trump could rely on to loyally carry out his Foreign Policy wishes or is that somebody who might freelance Foreign Policy . And cause harm here . Well, you know, for as long as donald trump is in the white house there will be no romney doctrine. So i dont think we have to worry about that. Donald trump is not the kind of guy that let somebody freelance on his dime. I dont think. And i also dont think that donald trump is all that worried about mitt romney being on the outside sniping at trump just because he was so ineffective when he was going full bore attacking him during the campaign. But one thing i do think that it is a signal to the establishment that he is that trump is willing to sort of unify the party, which i do think that is an important signal, but the other thing is, think about this, if mitt romney accepts the request to be his secretary of state, what does that say considering all the things that mitt romney said about donald trump . Was he kidding about all that . Or is it imagine the amount of crow he has to eat in order to accept that position and go work for the guy. Right. He might have some splainin to do. Yes. So all of these loyal folks to donald trump, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, kelly an kohn Kellyanne Conway. They went public with their of situation to mitt romney. And especially with rudy, going through all of his business relationships and so on. They might still be in contention for this top job. How do you think this is ultimately going to play out . Yeah. Theres been no announcement here. But if he ultimately chose to go with governor romney as secretary of state, he has the credentials and resume to back that up. I think what we have seen from donald trump is him selecting people based off of merit. Yes he has been loyal to his loyalists as well. We saw him bring in senator sessions, general flynn and representative pompeo as well. There is a lot of paying back people that are lawyer to him. He is also looking at people based on merit. If he was to choose someone like governor mitt romney, it is coalition building. Thats important for him. If you look at the senate, he will end up with 52 republicans in the senate. He needs to keep all of his republicans and entire conference in line with him and together collaboratively move the country forward in the direction he wants to. He needs all those different types of republicans. I think one, it is he is an adult looking past that and seeing someone based off their merit. Two, it shows wasnt it bring the Republican Party together and do big things for the country. Ultimately the decision needs to come down too, does he trust romney . We have to trust that based on the conversations that wd had with romney that he does if he decides to bring on romney as secretary of state. One other things not mentioned here is the desperate need for reform of the entrenched leftist antiisrael bureaucracy in the state department. You want a secretary of state that will go in and smash the existing order. As donald trump has promised on a larger scale. Who do you think can do that in the most effective way . Well, first, i think you know, any one of the perspective candidates, john bolton, rudy giuliani, and mitt romney can and will do this. Youre absolutely right. One, we need to break up the antiisrael kabal in the state department but secretary we need someone of great stature who can bring israelis and palestinians together with leadership and make it clear it is not a process of israel giving away the whole west bank no more settlements and basically folding its tent on every issue. I think governor romney can do it. But the entire republican establishment from what i read and what i see is for that. And as a strong supporter of israel, someone who worked for three prime ministers, i heartily endorsed this and think this is a very important step to change american attitudes, policies and direction. Yes. The state Department Needs to be shaken up just as the diplomacy does on the world stage. All right, guys, thank you so much. Coming up, Mainstream Press continues to launch attacks against president elect donald trump. It has only just begun. We will show you the latest example. And later, after the outrage of fake news on social media, liberal journalists are pushing a questionable story that claims Voting Machines may have been hacked and that Hillary Clinton may have won the election. Yes, have you that right. We will have reaction to all that and more as hannity continues. Hacked and that Hillary Clinton may have won the election. Yes, have you hey, need fast heartburn relief . Try cool mint zantac. It releases a cooling sensation in your mouth and throat. Zantac works in as little as 30 minutes. Nexium can take 24 hours. Try cool mint zantac. No pill relieves heartburn faster. Welcome back to hannity. While the liberal media continues to take shots at president elect donald trump, and like i said, its only just begun. Last night on msnbc one reporter called out his transition process. Take a look. This is a serious break from tradition. Yeah. About how you take these cabinet positions and how you fill them. You do it behind the scenes. You do it with a lot of serious thought. Do you it with a lot of planning. Donald trump is treating this, calling them finalists, tweeting about them, having them parade in and out of his bedminster golf resort, also parading in and out of trump tower, and talking about, keeping people in suspense. He is treating it like a reality show. Joining us isradio host dr. Gina laughin, Fox News Contributor, cal thomas and reporter for the daily caller, keri pickett. Cal, let me begin with you. Do these leaps in the media and elsewhere not understand that more they pile on donald trump, the more sympathy they create for him and the more support he receives . Well, they do, monica. But you know very well having worked for Richard Nixon that bashing the media only gets you so far. The speech written by the late william sapphire only hardened their resolve. You mentioned something in the previous segment about success. I think success would be the best way to fire back at the press. Beginning as he seems to be indicating he wants to do with the naming of betsy devos as secretary of education, who is very, very much pro school choice, liberating these poor and minority students from failing schools. Trump got 7 more of the africanamerican vote than romney did. He is starting to resonate with the africanamerican community. Thats the way to overcome the press. Not just to bash them all the time. Trying to convert them. Go to the New York Times building. Having minimal if any success. These people will not change their mind about him no mat er what happens. Kari, i think there is something more interesting going on with Donald Trumps visit to the New York Times building. As much as i love cal. He had the media come to him, television, he read them the riot act in a very sort of diplomatic way. But theyve never seen anything like this. Then went to the New York Times building rather than have the times come to him. Which i thought was a very interesting gesture. Meant to disarm them. Now i do agree with cal that thats not going to work with the times or anybody else on the left. But there is always a method to what he is doing here. So at least he can turn to the American Public and say say, see, i tried to magnanimous and gracious. I tried to work with them. And gosh golly, they wouldnt meet me half way. Indeed. The first move he made was when he brought all those media personalities in. Brought in their executives. And apparently tore them apart. We werent supposed to know that. And somehow it got leaked out to the new york post. We dont know who leaked it but somebody did. So the New York Times thought okay we are going to get him and have him come to us. And the fascinating thing is here is that even though say for example, his view owns climate change, oh, look at this, he is back paddling on climate change. Then it turned out, not exactly. He said, no, no, im open to both sides. He was able to control the conversation. The thing im a little concerned about though is that he has gotten so used to talking directly to the media through twitter, when he gets to the white house, that will be taken away from him. The nsa will make sure of it. Well see. Dont know. He is not one to give up his social media. And to that point, gina, i would love your response on this. Because he has donald trump created a whole new model. A new electoral model. New coalition. He created a new way of communicating. And like president s nixon and reagan before him, he has discovered that the most effective way to get his message to the American People is to go over the heads of the elite media. And take his message directly to them. And he has a weapon as kerri just mentioned, a weapon that nixon and reagan did not have, which is social media. How do you think he will manage his critics Going Forward . You make such a great point here monica. I think it is the psychology behind all of this that media hasnt caught on to, this their elitest attitude. It is this, they need him a lot more than he needs them. He proved that when he defeated 16 other capable and competent republicans. He proved that when he defeated the best that the Democrat Part party had to offer. He proved that when he changed the way social media is done. By letting the people who are presenting this fairly go ahead and present it fairly and do well. If you look dont trust me on this, nobody has to. Look at ratings of those who presented both sides fairly. You will see they are soundly defeating those who presented the bias leftest media all the way along. It is all there for them to see if they decide to open their eyes. Im not sure they ever will, gina. But hope springs eternal. I think donald trump just relishes keeping everybody off balance. So the next couple of years will be very interesting. Guys, thank you so much. Happy thanksgiving. Up next, after the uproar over fake news stories on the internet, some in the liberal media are pushing a baseless report that Hillary Clinton may have won the election because Voting Machines were hacked. Our panel will have reaction next. And later, authorities are ramping up secure as nearly 50 million americans travel for the holiday. Also, reaction from dr. Sebastian gorka and james rosen. All this and more as hannity continues. My friends think doing this at my age is scary. I say not if you protect yourself. What is scary . Pneumococcal pneumonia. Its a serious disease. My doctor said the risk is greater now that im over 50 yeah. Yaha. Just one dose of the prevnar 13® vaccine can help protect you from Pneumococcal Pneumonia an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. Prevnar 13® is approved for adults 18 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause Pneumococcal Pneumonia. You should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a seveccine or its ingredient. If you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. The most common side effects were pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, less appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash.

It was love at first touch met and all you wanted to do was surround them in comfort and protection thats why only pampers swaddlers is the 1 choice of hospitals to wrap your baby in blanketlike softness and premium protection mom oh hi baby so all they feel is love wishing you love, sleep and play. Pampers welcome back to hannity. After Donald Trumps election victory mainstream reed mooed media and liberals try to claim that fake news stories are one of the reasons why he won. Take a look. Did the spread of fake news on the web help elect donald trump . We may never know for sure. But researchers are asking the question because made up false stories are polluting facebook time lines and twitter streams. The reality that facebook could throw an election has been well known for years. These fake stories may have had real influence on voters. Fake news infects the left and right. Ive seen clinton supporters sharing fake links this week with election related conspiracy theories. But evidence indicates this is more of a problem on the right. Among some, not all, but some Trump Supporters. After creating that media fire storm, liberal journalists are spreading a story that new York Magazine first reported. Claiming that activists believe Voting Machines in three key swing states may have been hacked which is the reason why Hillary Clinton lost wisconsin and pennsylvania and is trailing in michigan. The report also said that those activists are urging the Clinton Campaign to demand recounts. Joining us with reaction is reverend scott who served as ceo for National Diversity coalition for donald trump. Hill contributor kristin tait. And Fox News Contributor, guy benson. Let me begin with you, any reason for Donald Trumps victory except donald trump, his platform and fact that American People wanted change . The left simply cannot accept this. Will not accept this. And they are reaching for so desperately and in such a diluted way for any way it try to derail Donald Trumps presidency. Thats right. And happy thanksgiving, monica. You too. This is preposterous. I read this story in new York Magazine and there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that this election was hacked or rigged. The numbers in wisconsin carefully and consistently mirrored the numbers in iowa and minnesota, nearby states. Similarly situated among rural voters. Those are states with paper ballots. This is a tin foil hat Conspiracy Theory on the left. You just played the whole montage there of the fake news panic we have seen from much of the Mainstream Press. These are also some of the same people who have the vapors over donald trump talking about the election being rigged. Hedging on whether he would accept the results. They said this is tearing at the very fabric of our republic and now many of the exact same people say she should contest this. This is stolen. Based on zero evidence and its embarrassing. The left, kristin, is so good at projection, accusing the other side of what they themselves are guilty of. David becker, center of election Innovative Research told the daily beast today not in exactly a right wing website that quote there is zero evidence of tampering, zero. So where is the left going with this . They have nothing here. Another big complaint from the left is that hillary won the popular vote. You know what, if you dont like the Electoral College, too bad. Thats how we do elections in this country. While left is sitting there having arguments about the popular vote they are completely clueless about why they lost this election. They dont they are clueless. Hillary spent the time on the campaign trail pandering to rich donors on the coasts completely ignoring the forgotten men and women in the heart of this country. She had the audacity to go on tv and say that to brag about putting coal miners out of business. And she is now shocked that she lost pennsylvania and ohio. Unbelievable. Democrats need to do some real self reflection and ask why they lost this election. And reverend scott to that point, a very famous former far left congressman, barney frank, giving fascinating interview this week to the new yorker magazine in which he said exactly that. He is calling his party into account. Saying weve got to take a closer look at ourselves. Why have we lost the White Working Class vote . Why have we lost states like pennsylvania and wisconsin . Weve got to look at ourselves here. And the other interesting thing he said is that Democratic Party has been inflexible on issues like environmental policy. Climate change is a bridge too far for barney frank. But frank says im on the far left but i still want to win. And if we want to win in the future we have to take a close look at ourselves. Yes. I mean, the Democratic Party has eaten crow and now they are snacking on sour grapes and theyve gotten bitter, so they come in with these preposterous stories. No one has been a victim of fake news stories more than donald trump. They scared off a number of minorities with the fake news stories like donald trump is shipping up a the black people back to africa. And donald trump is going to go house to house dragging immigrants out of their home. They promoted this fear that is over america now. And they projected that. And now they have withdrawn but they left the fear out there. Listen, you cant get upset about the Electoral College but you embrace the concept of the super delegate. Bernie sanders never had a chance because Hillary Clinton had the super delegates. Now the blame game of blame the russians. Hillarys email is leaked, blame the russians. I think they are giving the russians more credit than they deserve. They just need to own up to the fact that American Public has spoken and theyve embraced the message of donald trump more so than the negativity of the liberal party. Absolutely. That is a very Promising Development for the future of the country. But we also know that left all indications are, given this latest development, that they will make his life as president a holy hell. We all have to be on gourd. Thanks you very much. Happy thanksgiving. Coming up, federal officials are stepping up security. Nearly 50 million americans are traveling for thanksgiving. Catherine herridge is here with a full report.

Federal officials are warning Law Enforcement agencies across the the country about the potential of an isis terror take as more than 50 million americans are traveling for thanksgiving. Catherine herridge has the latest on train travel. Catherine . Reporter for amtrak, this is the busiest travel period of the entire year. They are expecting 750,000 passengers over the next five days and the peak days are tuesday, today and sunday. If youre at washingtons union station, many passengers said they prefer trains to flying and feel okay with the high level of security. I guess im kind of neutral to it. I guess in a way, it makes you feel more safe. Just to my parents. And i just feel like it is less of target so generally speaking it seems samer. Reporter if youre on the trains this weekend, you can expect to see these k9 teams with. Their specialty is explosive detection. They have the ability to clear large groups of passengers quickly and efficiently. Amtrak told reporters that security is high but unchanged from last year. Police are increasing presence along with local state and federal partners along with k9s through the stations, railways, rightofway. Thats typical for any holiday. We would boost our efforts security wise. If you look closely this weekend you may see the special scanning technology that has ability to scan and entire crowd and look for suspicious devices. Homeland security and the tsa has a role this weekend, they have these Crisis Response teams. They have a surge capacity. And they deal with terrorism as well as criminal activity. We will have our viper teams out. Those are visible intermodal response teams. These are teams of t sa Law Enforcement agencies that work closely with Law Enforcement. You will see more of that. They will run more rail safe operations where there is ais visible presence in stations and terminals. Amtrak is advising passengers to come at least a half hour in advance and have photo id because there will be spot checks throughout the journey. Monica . Catherine, thank you. Joining us now with reaction, author of the best selling book defeating jihad, dr. Sebastian gorgea. And author of a torch left to lift great lives of the 20th century, james rosen. Both books are brilliant and important and i recommend them to everybody watching tonight. Gentlemen, welcome. Sebastian, let me start with you. This is a most dangerous time. We have a weak outgoing president. And our enemies will want to test the new incoming one. What are the issues that most concern you now during period of time . Well, monica, im most concerned with the change in tactics that we see isis following. Al qaeda for more than a decade was obsessed with spectacle. Ironically 9 11 was so successful in killing 3,000 people in 102 minutes that they experimented with chemical weapons in afghanistan. They are looking for something more spectacular. Isis is far more pragmatic. They have taken a leaf out of the classic war surgeon hand book and they understand for a low investment with minimal or no training you can cause a lot of havoc and kill lots of people. The nice attack is the classic example. One man with a truck, scores of people killed. Isis has gone back to basics and holiday like this one is so attractive to them because theyre looking for high concentrations of unarmed civilians. And thats what you have on thanksgiving. You covered the white house and state department, the Government Agencies issuing these warnings. Is there anything about this particular one that feels different to you . Sadly, no. In fact, a whole generation of americans thats come of age since 9 11 has had to grow accustomed to receiving these alerts and warnings to travelers abroad, particularly on the eve of big holidays. Youll recall just before election day the fbi warned the residents in three states, texas, virginia and new york of possible terrorist activity connected to the election it didnt materialize. Im reminded of a grim new yorker cartoon after 9 11 where it showed the classic evolutionary sequence of a fish in the sea and then some beast that rises from the ooze and starts to walk on two legs and the last panel in this cartoon showed modern man, with a briefcase walking into a metal detecter. I dont see us changing from that evolution any time soon. Weve concerned about the threat of violent terror. Its urgent and life threatens, but this threat is ideological and demographic and about the infiltration of the United States and the west. Does the president elect understand that and what does he plan to do to fight it in that way . Absolutely. If you listen to his National Security speech from philadelphia, donald trump gets it. He has people like Lieutenant General mike flynn around him direct who wrote the become field of flight. Its not just about killing terrorist. Thats part of the it. But the ultimate victory is taking down to ideology. Weve arrested or killed 124 people in america in the last two and a half years linked to isis. The issue isnt poverty. Its not people growing up in refugee camps. These are americans for the most part or immigrants that are successful. Its the ideology of global jihadism we have to destroy, and having met donald trump and worked closely with general flynn, i can tell you they get it and well have a different approach some january 21st. I think a lot of americans realized that at the voting booths. This president and the people around him understand the true nature of this threat and are prepared to fight the war the way it needs to be thought. James, i mentioned your book earlier. Its a brilliant compilation of the greatest essays on some president s and statesmen and rock stars like jerry garcia, pr princess diana. William f buckley was perhaps the greatest conservative intellectual of our time. What do you think he would have made of the rise of donald trump and what would be the one piece of advice he would give to the new president coming in . It wouldnt be the most famous line when he made a run for mayor of new york, the press asked him whats the first thing you do if you win, and he said demand a recount. I dont think he would have given that advice to donald trump. He wrote critically of donald trump on one occasion, but he wrote critically of Hillary Clinton on a number of occasions. He said always support the most right ward viable candidate. I dont think in the general election season, he would have withheld that description from donald trump. In terms of advice im sorry.
