Secretary of state rumors. We have a president elect who is willing to say im going to appoint the best possible people. Im not going to live in the past. Im going to live in the future. And i celebrate the future justice style as i visit the worlds most famous Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center. Barack obamas term is over. Over the people have spoken. Listen up, justice starts now. Breaking tonight, the death toll after a fire during a dance party in oakland, california, has reached nine and could still climb. Hello and welcome to justice. Im judge jeanine pirro. Thanks for being with us. That fire started during a party in the converted warehouse late last night. Crews are still searching and warn the death toll could rise as high as 40. Just last month, the city of oakland opened an investigation into the same building after a series of complaints about People Living illegally inside. Officials will hold a press conference and well update you when it does. Reince priebus on president elect trumps busy transition. But first, my opening statement. Its a miracle. We finally have an incoming president who understands how to conduct business for the American People. Business rather than politics. Although weve just proven themselves to be pretty good at politics, too. President elect donald trump already making deals, just as he promised. The strategist and ceo that our country needs. Certainly not a politician, constantly worried about universal approval. Great leaders, whether they are heads of countries or companies deliver. They understand making decisions are not about winning the popular vote. They know instinctively whats needed to get it done, not stopping to test fingers to the wind. And so on thursday, president elect trump in a carrier plant in indianapolis announced a deal to keep more than a thousand jobs in the United States that were scheduled to be outsourced to mexico. Amazing. A president who actually fulfills a promise before he even moves into the oval office. Remind you of another great leader . Ronald reagan and those 52 american hostages held in iran for 444 days that jimmy carter couldnt get released for the life of himself before he left the white house . And in june when president obama was and carrier leaving the United States referencing the candidate trump had just said he could do it mr. Hope and change himself answers. Not a chance. Con tif indicating that American Workers need to learn better skills to adapt to new Technology Like clean energy by the way, remember the Clean Energy Company destined for failure, sure. More on that technology and youd be out of a job there for good and then obama takes his shot. Listen. Those jobs of the past are not going to come back and when somebody says like the person you just mentioned im not going to advertise for that hes going to bring all of the jobs back, how are you going to do that . What are you going to do theres no answer to it. He says im going to negotiate a better deal. How exactly are you going to negotiate that . What magic wand do you have . The magic wand that donald trump has that you certainly dont is a business acumen, a focus and a passion for the American Worker who desperately wants nothing more than a job and the ability to feed the family. And to those naysayers, including sarah palin who criticized him, let me ask you a question if we can Keep Companies by offering incentives, why wouldnt we do that . We do all kinds of generous things for illegals, refugees. We educate them, medicate them, house them, give them food stamps. We even give this obamacare although the president said it wouldnt cover them. So much for transparency. We bring them in by the thousands. Now, all that costs us taxpayer dollars. Not to mention, the security danger. Wheres our incentive . Shouldnt American Workers be allowed to keep their jobs, pay their mortgages and their rent, put gas in their cars, heat in their homes, buy food, help their elderly parents, not to mention putting a gift or two under a tree . Assuming they can even afford to buy one . All of which keeps our economy going. At least americans pay taxes, more than sales tax, to fund our government to then pay for the illegals and refugees. So if we give that tax cut, at least we get some tax money back. Not to mention that these American Families will then have to go on unemployment and welfare. No fancy slogans here, folks. No one liners. But youre watching history. Youre watching another ronald reagan. Youre watching in realtime a president elect who is not all talk. A leader who was going to show us real hope and change. Its time for america to believe its not only christmas, everyone, its morning in america once again. And thats my open. Tell me what you think on my Facebook Page or twitter judgejeanine. And also breaking tonight, the green party has dropped their bid for statewide pennsylvania recount but the recounts in wisconsin and michigan continue as of now. I spoke with our rnc chairman reince priebus. We discussed the carrier deal, the latest in the recount and the transition team. Take a look. Were here with the incoming chief of staff reince priebus. I want to thank you for joining us on justice. This is the First Time Since the president elect was voted in. First of all, i want to congratulate you for what the president elect has done at carrier, saving 1200 jobs before he even got into the oval office is just incredible and just what the country needs. Well, i mean, it also shows you what kind of president it is going to be that hes not the type of guy that i want to have an appointment with at 4 45 for five minutes on the phone. He picks up the phone, makes the call and then a week later theres an announcement that these jobs are saved. Thats really what the American People should expect. The president is going to stand up for the American Worker and get things done and thats who donald trump is. Well, you know, its what he said he was and its a man that i know and im just so happy that america is going to see what he is capable of even before he gets there. But theres so many topics tonight. Lets talk about this recount where jill stein got like 1 of the vote. I dont know what the woman is thinking. Everybody is suing everyone else. Fcc complaint by her against hillary and then Trump Supporters are going against stein and clinton but the bottom line is, theres no way that either one of them are going to win, although i think hillary would come back from, you know, another planet to try to win again but what is your take on all of these recounts . I think they should be dismissed. You have a person with 33,000 votes in wisconsin running against want a recount against donald trump who had 1. 7 million votes. Its an illegal impossibility for her to overturn the election so therefore the courts and judges and board of canvassers shouldnt have allowed these things to go forward. But i understand the statutes the way they are. We are going to have a recount. Its going to be a waste of everyones time and money. Were going to have to spend money that i think jill steins campaign should reimburse us for for a waste of our time. Donald trump will win again. They will lose again. But unfortunately, its just a big, fat waste of time. And thats what we have to put up with. Its a waste of time and money and friends of mine in wisconsin are saying that in the recount, the president elect is up. So i dont know what they are thinking. And in michigan, the attorney general is moving to stop the recount. Heres the key, judge. The key in michigan is jill stein has alleged that shes been agrieved by the outcome. I dont know how you can lose by 2 million votes, move for a recount and then claim that bee. Its a frivolous case and totally hypocritical for Hillary Clinton to not be denouncing this recount when she conceded on election night, she agreed to concede after the a. P. Called the race, totally hypocritical and, look, they were worried about donald trump not accepting the outcome of the election. Remember that outrage . Total joke. Yes, it is. Lets move on. You are now chief of staff. You will be in january. You are pretty much representative of the establishment is this a signal by donald trump that, look, im draining the swamp but there are some establishment people who are going to be on the inside . Theres going to be a combination of people. Me and steve and jared and kellyanne are working together. Thats what donald trump bought together. The reason why he had one of the biggest or the biggest, historical, electoral landslides in a long time is because he was able to bring all spectrums of our party together, move them down the center of the interstate and make it happen and so he brought that same coalition into the white house. I think its a great combination and everyone works well together and, you know, why change things up that have been working so well . And clearly it appears that you are working well together. But as we look back at the race, donald trump certainly made some people pretty angry. Do you think the bushes will ever accept the Trump Presidency . I think so. Many of them have already reached out to the president elect and hes had great conversations with them and meeting with others that in some cases were critical and appointing people that had some critical words as well and, as you know, meeting with governor romney and burying the hatchet there. Its bringing americans together and moving forward. For all of those people who said he was so thinskinned, his connection and continuous meeting with mitt romney. If he decides not to take mitt romney or appoint him as secretary of state or nominate him, do you think theres another position that the president elect will put romney in . You never know. The fact is, they didnt know each other. They hit each other pretty hard and mitt hit a little harder but he didnt know president elect either. As people get to know each other sometimes you realize, you know, maybe i was wrong about this. And so i think some of that is what you see but, most importantly, to the American People is what they see is that weve got a president elect who understands that and is willing to say im going to appoint the best possible people. Im going to talk to the best possible people. Im not going to live in the past but im going to live in the future and thats what donald trump is doing every single day. And quickly, you know, there were times in a ditch. What is the magic of donald trump . Well, i think number one its a vision but, number two, i think hes someone who is real and authentic. Ive often said what this country is starving for is real, authentic, genuine who wants to serve their country with a pure heart and make a difference. I think people are tired of the washington politician. They had a choice between plastisize or genuine and thats what he captured. Mr. Chairman, thank you so much for joining us on justice. Thank you. Joining me now, republican congressman darrell issa. Youve just been elected. How many terms for you . This is my ninth term. Long time. The most exciting term since my first. I came in with george w. Bush, what they called a pointed president and now were coming in with a similar situation, a president who clearly won the peoples heart, unconventional, house and senate and a mandate to really roll back the things that were killing jobs. Every decision is based on the fundamental cost drivers. So are regulations and taxes. And energy. You build a building, some costs you cant avoid. He talks about how you build great buildings. Congressman, lets talk about some of the things that have been happening on the transition or during this transition. China is lodging a complaint and they are upset that the president elect talked to the president from taiwan who is legally and democratically elected, i believe. Was this a faux pas or an opportunity . It was clearly something that he thought about before he made the call. This isnt about the mistakes like bill clinton made coming in that caused us to move an entire fleet after his comments this is about China Building islands to intimidate in International Waters and i think its a great pushback. Hes telling china they dont automatically get a pass on everything. We dont need their imports enough. He met with japans president and was dealing specifically with a country thats being intimidated by china and Building Military islands. Its clear that things are not going to go as president obama necessarily wants them to go. Lets talk about mad dog mattis. He knows his way around the pentagon. There are some centers, a junior senator from new york, who is vowing to stand between the general who has been nominated for secretary of defense. Theres no question that hes qualified and that although its the first time the reality is this is decorated war hero and somebody who can make a difference for the department of defense and to use a military term, its pretty obvious the American People dont have any question about the general mattis left office, went out to stanford and it teaching. This isnt somebody flipping. Hes broken the ties but hasnt, if you will, broken the chain of knowledge thats going to allow him to do great things when he comes back. Do you bet on for secretary of state . I bet on donald trump. Good answer, congressman. Im never known for my diplomacy but he picked a great group of candidates. Hes vetting them much like the apprentice and hes going to make a superb choice. Worried about romney . Yes or no. A little. Arent we all. Thank you, congressman issa. Thank you. And still ahead tonight, more on the president elects deal to keep the carrier jobs out of mexico with one of his top economic advisers, steve moore is here. But then are you more confident about saying Merry Christmas and not being politically incorrect . Absolutely. What else can you do around here . Thats right. Its a Beautiful Tree up there. Street justice in your christmas stocking. Ill head to the worlds most famous tree as jusre developing tonight, new reaction after president elect trump makes a big deal with air Conditioning Company carrier to keep jobs in indiana. So is this just the beginning . With me now, steve moore, senior economic adviser to president elect donald trump. Good evening, steve. Thanks so much for being with us tonight. Great to be with you. If you heard my open. I did. I am thrilled. You know, to me, its about americanism, america first. Lets get going, lets make America Great again. What about those critics . Its very, very easy to exaggerate the economic importance of the carrier intervention. Less than 1,000 jobs. The politics are absolutely terrible for free market conservatives. What do you make of that . Im a free market conservative and im very happy about this and ill tell you this, judge, i know theres a thousand families that will have a lot better christmas because of what donald trump did. Now, look, this is just the start of something really big. The president elect trump when he becomes president isnt going to be able to save american industry one company at a time but i think he was sending a message here to the voters of pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, wisconsin, iowa, midwestern states, im a midwesterner myself, that he cares about them and he is going to fight for their jobs and thats what they wanted to hear for a long time. I love that clip, judge, you played from barack obama. I think it was earlier this year when he said, theres nothing we can do about it. Yes, there are things that we can do to bring jobs back to factory workers and hardworking middle class people who lost their jobs. We can lower our taxes, our regulatory costs and make america a very competitive place and this is, as i said, the start. What happened at carrier i believe we can see with thousands of companies in the months ahead. What do you say to the people who say every company can hold america hostage by saying, look, were moving, give us some kind of a deal in what do you say to them . Well, i think ultimately what donald trump did was say to the carrier executives, dont leave now because good things are coming in america. We are going to lower your taxes, going from being the highest to the lowest. Dont leave now because were going to get those regulations off the back of you. The average regulatory cost per manufacturing job, 18,000. So it there any wonder that were exporting a lot of these jobs to china, mexico and india . If you cut those costs, those jobs are coming back. So this carrier deal is not a oneoff. Its a precursor to lower taxes, loosening up the regulations and at the same time youve got a president , a house and a senate. He can do it. Theres no question, hes got to do this. You have so many voters like pennsylvania, ohio, michigan and wisconsin who never voted for a republican before who took a risk with donald trump because they thought he would fight for them and, you know, i work with them on this these plans and on energy, on taxes. It is focused towards bringing jobs back to the United States. And i guarantee, a lot of people say, judge, they are very skeptical and say we cant bring jobs, were not going to bring manufacturing back. Thats wrong. We can be one of the manufacturing leaders of the world. Okay. I just have 30 seconds left. I want to understand this. Why is it that we tax things where we produce them as opposed to when we import them . Exactly. We have the dumbest tax system in the whole world. You are exactly right. Why not have a tax system where were taxing what has consumed you rather than tax what we produce and send abroad but when something comes into the country, we dont tax it. Thats a dumb system and were going to correct that. The price of labor is so high. What percentage is the price of labor on an air conditioner . I dont know exactly with an air conditioner but with most manufacturing, the cost is only about 20 . If you lower the regulatory and tax cost, guess what, america is a competitive place to do business in. Steve moore, thank you for being with us tonight. Thank you. Street justice from the rockefeller Christmas Tree is coming up next. And then matt schlapp and chris hahn ready to rumble. The panel and i are standing by im only in my 60s.

Another big week for president elect trump and his transition team. Max sclapp and former senator chuck schumer, joining me now. All right, gentlemen. I think the news of the night is that pennsylvania recount stopped so we dont know what is going on in michigan and wisconsin. We know yesterday, the ag brought an order to stop it f you just have michigan and wisconsin, 16 and 10 electoral votes, its not enough to move anything. So was this all to get money into the coffers of jill stein . I think yes. I mean, i am not a fan of jill stein. I dont like her. I dont trust her. Truth and justice on justice. There you go. I look. I think shes a fraud. I think shes using this to raise money. Would i like to know if there is mischief in the votes . Sure. But i dont think shes the person going to be going after it. I think that is enough of that. Why did Hillary Clintons team join inned fray . Because donald trump is going on a victory tour. And Hillary Clinton on a sore loser tour. At harvard university, theyre blaming the right and racism. What is the right . Will someone explain what it means . Hillary clinton popularized in her own speech during the campaign. Our Research Shows there is one group that shows there is about 200 members and a bit of a splinter group. And nothing to do with conservative movement or republican party. And guess what . She lost. She needs to stop blaming other people. She needs to go to the hamptons and relax. She spent enough time there raising money. But now, chris, i want to talk about the Democratic Party. We have nancy pelosiment she beats tim ryan. Yes. Something like that. She beats him, now, she continues to be the House Minority leader and she lost in, i think, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 in the house. Why do they keep making her the leader . I dont know. There needs to be a major shift in the way of Democratic Party goes about picking candidates. It cant just be about money. Its got to find candidates and move forward and help them get resources they need. I think now who is willing to just sit on the phone eight hours per day . Theyre not finding candidates that are connecting with the voters in their congressional districts. Once they make the shift youll see more competitives7 races an it will be good for everybody. Matt makes a good point. I think it is all about the money. I want to put Something Else up, matt, and i want you to respond to it. We have a senior whip in congress, a gentleman by the name of cleaver. He made a clament about pelosi when she won against ryan. At the present time very to say we have no plan but have proven leadership that can take us into what is going on a new era. In other words we keep losing but we dont have the strategy. He says were good. No. Youre not. Yes. This is a real moment for the Democratic Party. Remember, they were ready to fight and have a great election and come vote to take back the majority of the house. They were goingut to get the senate. And they lost everything. They have done more losing under barack obama than in the history of the party down to dog catcher. And so now, theyre looking inward and saying we have lost everything. What do we stand for . K i think congressman kleiver is being honest. For nancy pelosi, power is the most important thing and they dont give it up easily. I want to talk about mattis. Chris khun wants a block and people love them. For confirmation, what . Its getting eight from another side. But the whisper is going to take more than that which is interesting. Why is she doing this . Why is jill brand doing this . Well, i dont think this is about mattis himself. Its about the separation of the military power and National Security act of 1947, it was very clear, and the framers were very clear, they wanted civilian control of the military. I think hes a great candidate. We have to have a conversation. It is a major founding stone of our country. The president can pick anyone he wants. Donald trump has no military experience. He only needs 50 votes to be confirmed. I dont have time matt quickly. Chris quickly. Mercedes schlapp, possible rnc chairman. I just left her dinner because your show is a priority. Im a big fan of President Trump and my wife, im not going to make either of them upset at me. Coming up to rockefelle Christmas Tree. And Counter Terror expert dr. Sebastian gorka talking about how the game is about to change when it comes to the new u. S. Play book against terror. One year ago this week, terror came to the United States in the form of two armed radical islamists in San Bernardino, california. But here we are, one year later and a lot is about to change when it comes to how this country fights extremists. Author of defeating jihad is joining me now. Good evening, doctor. It was a year ago and i think most of us clearly remember San Bernardino before christmas, coworker ends up shooting 14 people and injuring many more and i tried to find out what happened to those people who are family members and it turns out that there are charges that are filed against the brother and sisterinlaw of syed farook and they were arrested on federal charges of marriage fraud and then the wife and her sister are charged with an immigration fraud marriage case as well. So does this and these cases have not yet been disposed of by the feds. Is this something you would consider part of a predictable Islamic Jihad where they are bringing in spouses like this . Absolutely, especially if you look at how the federal agencies drop the ball completely when it came to malik and farook, the San Bernardino murderers. Right now, this is a woman whose pattern of life was not closely examined. The fact that she went to a muslim seminary before she came to the United States and also that her facebook posts werent scrutinized by the state department that was handling the First Contact with the individual applying for a visa. So, yeah, there are certain indicators always. This idea of lone wolfism is a complete fallacy. The concept that somebody is sitting in their basement, goes online and then suddenly becomes a jihadi, totally bogus, judge. Clearly, clearly. In the United States, we have to start looking at the jails and we have to start looking at the mosque and getting into the community and those areas where people are not going. There are a lot of areas in terms of the homeland that we need to look at. But you know what is having, the shooters mother of farook and the sister have not been charged criminally. However, Minnesota Life Insurance Company filed a civil lawsuit alleging that they knew of the planned attack because they were in the apartment and yet no charges against them. So, i mean, clearly youve got a whole group involved but i want to now move into what you think in terms of the new administration and how they are going to be handling this kind of thing differently. Just look at who president elect donald trump is picking. We have the first significant pick, lieutenant mike flynn, the man who wrote the book on counterterrorism field of fight that Everybody Needs to look at. You have now this legendary marine, mad dog mattis who will be named as secretary of defense. You have pompeo as director of cia, former alabama senatorsess general. You cannot imagine a better ateam. It will be like night and day, judge. We will finally take the war to the jihadi. And well finally, i believe, with all of those great nominations be in a position where we can identify the problem, actually say what it is and then execute. Dr. Gorka, always great to have you on justice. Generosity is its own form of power. You can handle being a mom for half an hour. Im in all the way. Is that understood . I dont know what shes up to, but its not good. Cant the world be my noodles and butter . Get your mind out of the gutter. Mornings are for coffee and contemplation. That was a really profound observation. You got a mean case of the detox blues. Dont start a war you know youre going to lose. Finally you can now find all of netflix in the same place as all your other entertainment. On xfinity x1. Youve, waiting for it, now its finally time for your weekly dose of street justice. This week, i went to the Rockefeller CenterChristmas Tree to see what people thought about president elect trump carrier deal and if people are really back to saying Merry Christmas. Take a look. Donald trump just delivered a bunch of jobs in indiana to the carrier employees. Great christmas present. Are you hoping that it will make some great Christmas Gifts to all of in this country . Oh, i think he will. I think hes going to be great. Hes going to do more and hes already done more in a month than i think weve done in eight years. I actually believe hell truly do an excellent job and everything he puts forward to. About the 1,200 people have jobs, about 1,800 are leaving indiana and going down to mexico. So i dont think it solves every problem. We cant do it multiple times. But i think the gesture was very good and the negotiation was good, as far as thats concerned. Donald trump saved 1,200 jobs at carrier in indiana. Just talked to someone who said, well, he didnt save em all, not really such a big deal. Well, 1,200 is better than zero. Better than having all the jobs go out to mexico. Certainly a good thing. Geraldos wife, gorgeous erica, what do you think about the fact that the incoming president brought 1,200 jobs to indiana. Say Merry Christmas. Merry christmas are you more confident about saying Merry Christmas and not feeling politically incorrect . Absolutely. What else can you do around here . Its a Beautiful Tree up there. How about Merry Christmas . Merry christmas to you and everybody out there. Celebrate what you love and be happy because youre in the greatest country in the world. I ditto that. What do you think of the fact they got 1,200 jobs in carrier in indiana and trump hasnt even gotten into the oval office . First of all, this economy, this country was built on small business. Okay, first of all first of all, we do need to cut taxes. If i own a company and i got 50 million and i got 100 employees, if the government overtaxes me, im not going to be able to put anything back in the business. Whats the answer to my questions about the 1,200 employees getting their jobs back. They should get their jobs back. Good hold on, it should be a tax incentive, on a structure, a tax incentive where you can have a structure where they can work to have their job back. The way to do that is to give the owner an incentive, so that he can reinvest in that company well, can i tell you something, this is a very short interview. Are you happy that trump brought back 1,200 jobs . Right now, yes, i am happy. Good do you think hes going to do good jothings for jobs, for you . I think hes going to do a wonderful job and i think my future will be set if hes in the oval office. What do you expect is coming . His first hundred days will be all awesome. Hell do more in the first hundred days than the last eight years. Donald trump is running for another four years after these four years. Barack obamas term is over. Over the people have spoken accept your loss and be a crybaby be a man put on your big boy pants and deal with it, you crybabies lets just say Merry Christmas. Together. One, two, three. Merry Christmas Well be right back. This is how you say its going to be okay to someone who just lost everything. Every 8 minutes the red cross responds to a disaster and makes this promise.

Fire crews first called to the scene before midnight last night to find an Electronic Music Party filled with heavy to smoke and flames and they are investigating whether people were living in the building illegally. That investigation is ongoing as the party was going on. Weeks before the tragedy they were concerned about the people
