Divisions among mr. Trumps trus economic advisers that they they favor increased tradevor in restrictions. St joining us to talk about this is republican strategist jacktac burkman. Always good to have you on the show. Merry christmas guys. Sh guy let me first start by m asking you whae t do you thinkhi about Peter Navarro and his qualifications to be in thisioni position. I think its terrific. Errifi. Its a great idea that trump th has all of these businessusiness people in the cabinet. Len th thats really whats beens bee lacking with obama the last las eight years and i would say to t people even if youre oue whether youre a democrat democ republican independent theresne so much waist in the couryist ic right now and the waste is not i just obama its built up overp e the last 50 years, its reallyll time to have a business personer that can tighten the screws ther all the way around. Arod. Now when you also look at at carl icahn as well the two off these together navarro andar a icahn and you see trump has been pushing economic growthmicr what do you think were goingu to see movingthin forwardorrd especially since theyve beenyb kind of outspoken china. China. Youre going to see a muchgo moreto aggressive u. S. In the te pacific. I think trump will build up up the u. S. Navy thats numberbe one. I think trump will youlloul see more restrictive trade policies with china. Chi i like the fact that donaldat d trump is keeping to his his campaign promises. Pro hell be tough on trade. Tde hes bringing jobs back to thekt United States. I mean, it would have been b terrible and the media wouldould be blasting him right now ifg h he had already abandoned that. A what if he were showing signsngs that he was just going to be ane complete free trader and the the campaign was all just a russo ar im very glad he stuck to his guns. Question for you here about mr. Icahn. Carl icahn will play a role inl selecting the next sec chairman but as you and i know k he doesnt have to divest anyes of his business in his many businesses. Theyve gone up in worssth sincn donald trump was elected. Dont you see down the roadhe some sort of conflict oft interest, a little, you know, Insider Information there. Theres morals then theres tre ethics then theres publictherel relations. Relations. If we get to the point where wre we see these conflicts everywhere what we really willli be seeing is that major maj Business People really cantrean serve in the cabinet. In t cabint you can take this as far as a you want. Anybody way net worth of 10 million or more would be disqualified from governmentromn because they own this, thatha and the other and this that that and the other might be favored by the government at some point. Gover the u. S. Government todayt tod touches every form of industryy in the country sadly bfoutrm it does. All right let me ask youe asu real quick about the two bighe b appointments today, you want to talk about those. Shawn spicer tapped as the press secretary. Sectary. I know he has been around foror quite some time with the rnc. R. What do you think though giventu the fact that we know kno president elect tru is veryct te much the, loves to tweet,o tweet loves to do what he wants to. O. Does spicer have his work cut c out for id love the transition asits you know but theres one problem with it. Pr trump has trump doesnt want anybody around him whoim has any capacity to emerge as as some kind of minor media stariaa on their own. Wn spicer you can look at himook hes not going to im merge in m that way. He had he could have chosen kimberly gil foil. Oil. He had a lot of good choices. Cs i would have picked one ofe those especially laura. I think s lhe would have beenld perfect but trump just cant stand anyone arot untrd him whoi a star other than himself. Himsf spicer is a good solidd solid reliable choice. E. Hes like a navy blue z youe cant go wrong with him but h b theres not a lot of upsidet ofe with him, either. , either. All right. Right jack, we always love havingalwa you on the show. You sho thanks for coming in. Cg in. Thank you guys. Hank appreciate it. A next here, he compared compad donald trump to hitler and hisr opinion landed him on a listis of most liberal professors inssn the country. E unt the professor watch lit was litw compiled by a conservati organization calling itselfti turning pointon c u. S. A. Arthur kaplan professor atros nyu is the professor wereor wee talking about. He joins us now via skype. Ia spe thanks for joining us. U thanks for having me. M first and foremost what do you thinkemos about it . Does it matter to you that you have h been placed on this list . Ist . No, because i think the list is meant to intimidate orr bully and its stupid. Ts stupid the thing we have to do, if students feel pressured in thelu classroom argue for more free fe speech and debate and i among a any professor who wouldou squelch any opinion in class ion think we got to get students speak up to feelot t comfortabl. If they dont they should seeshs the professor privately. Vately. If they still dont and theyt t should see the dean andld s ultimately the presieedent of pe the university. Speech. Is that what its moreat wha abitout that you feel somebody d thought perhaps you weret pe sensorring or not listening tost what they had to say perhaps pha people there supported trump tru do you feel thats whe is really comingat from. Well, when i get angry andt a it was over 18 months ago atgot trump when he was talkingaski about locking up muslims and building the wall none ofne o which he apparently is goingoi to do or he talked about immigrants bringing disease oria dump on women or making fun of the disabled, i said he was hit lerlike. He was doing things that were getting theng t atthiraction of white power groups and david dav duke and the american naziaz party. They were shootingshotin endorsements at him. Him. You can criticize me and ime a dont think any student ivedene ever had would say i tried tori squelch comment in class. Css but to come back to the point te i dont want students making lists. I want students making arguments. Let me jump forward to sortos of where we are today. T donald trump has been elected. T were still seeing some of of those people. In fact i think k oftentimes the media has beenee criticized for giving thoseed fv folks you were talking about arl platform and a voice t do you think or would your woulu still make that sameil comparison that you made aboutla Donald Trumphat calling him hitlerlike today . Tay no, hes tend to it down and i think maybe in response to some of those real concernson that you cant just, you know, sort of say, oh, mexicans are bad or diseased, slurring srring ethnic groups is hitlerlike. Iti you cant do that. Racism is bad. Cism is bad. I think hes pulled back somewhat. Were still going debate his policies but happily i think i k hes veered weigh from thered course he was on. Really quick because were running out of time here, anything that ycourouquick g oul look at and admire about the president elect perhaps . Elect p . Great marketer. Understands social media. Edia. I think some of his h willingness to get out theres et and challenge accepted wisdomm whether its on foreign policyy or business, all to the good. But, you know, i want to hear to that debated in the classroomssm and ill come back to itt again. Ai dont try to bully. Bully there you go. Arguing is always good. Ngwa get it out. Get it out. Thank you professor. Rofessor. Thanks for joining us. Us. We appreciate it. Ciate. Thanks. There are news reportsre are tonight that donald trump t believes, you know, the people p he is picking to serve inve visible positions in his his administration shouldnt just js be qualified professionally,ion, they also need to look theook t part. Pa oh, well, he was the apprentice on tv. N t looks are about a lot ofot o things in that world for himthaf but its got a lot of peoplefeol talking tonight of course. Fox5s tom fitzgeraldd joining us live outside thesi t trump hotel with more on this one. Hey fitz. Reporter now, werere actually outside saint johns church. Church do you know why were here. Ere. Why fitz . Fitz . Reporter every president psi since john adams has prayed inside this church and donald dl trump himself is going to do that on the morning of his inauguration. But you know there is that other owsaying, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that appears to be a factor now on o how donald trump is putting together his all right. So, the story is this. His. That trump is lending aesthetics to his list ofs li things he does and does notoe n want on his cabinet nominees. You see some of them rightht there. General james mattis remarkeds a he resembles george patton. Pato everybody remembers governorreme rick perry on dancing with thery on stars. Stars there are other factors in facts this as well. Was senator bob corker of tennessee not chosen as secretary of state because he h may not have been tall enough . So, the word on this confirming that this is a factor comes from jason jason miller. Hes a trump transitionitio spokesperson. This is what miller says. Presentation is very important because youre representing america, not onlynl on the National Stage but also t on the interNational Stage depending on your positionosit so, we came down here to thee te white house and the question qut should appearance, yours or anybody elses, be a factor when a president elect of the t United States is choosing hisisn cabinet . Heres what folks had to say. Apparently they didnt have too much to say at all because u that wasnt what you heard. Nt y this is what we heard. Hrd okay what was it. O reporter person afterkater person after person said no. D yeah. Reporter appearance should not be a factor. Eportectr it shouldnt. Reporter we said to them, well, listen, whatepor ifi somebody shows up in dirty dir jeans and a tshirt and messed s up hair and they haventand thev shaved in a couple of deays, ofy should they be the secretary sey of state, and the guy that youuu just saw standing still therere and not talking at all he said listen, if theyre a good goo diplomat, thats all i need so apparently that would make meakm qualifie state at least on saturdaysaturs and sundays ondo either one of those. Th fitz you always look good. U i dont think this is aalways surprise at all. Lnt thrprise if we remember at back to theot campaign season, donald trump tu said things about peoples appearance, their personalnal appearances. Appe this has been nothing new. Bnot. In fact for years. Foars. So, im not surprised to hear ha this. Reporter this goes rightsig back to almost the very startta of the trump ascendensy. Carly fiorina was one of thef t first. I got to imagine that firstfirs Cabinet Meeting when theyrehenh all sitting around that tablehab over in the west wing andwing ad theyre all looking at each other sizing each other upziac about who looks like what. Wha i mean mn as long as they get the job done. Job d reporter levels, this is one that weve not quite heard in president ial transition teams. S weve never seen anythinganyg like this, period, though, ass it relates to donald trump andmp his presidency. Nc thank you very much fitz. Fz. We appreciate it. E you look good. Get back inside. Iid just for the safety of the country as long as if he can lon they can get the job done i dont care what thet tey look lo and no one else should either. He lets get a check of the weather. Sue palka standing by with the st. Est. Im feeling so selfconscious now. Self youre beautiful. C you is this sweater makinrge me look frumpy. Ru no. O. Youre perfect. Its all about me. Ye. Beautiful. Well get right back to the weather because we have a gorgeous day today, rigr dbeidw sarah and shawn but late thisat afternoon a strong front came through and its really gotll the winds going and now weree going to see temperaturesra dropping again.

No all right, happy holidays. Olays. Happy hanukkah and merry mer christmas to everybody. Body. Back to you guys. Back i want to sing. In whoohoo happy holidays ay good voice, too. Ood voice, t. Metro unveiled a new n commemorative smart trip cardiv for the ismnauguration. Uratn. They do this every time but unlike previous years, theviar president elects picture iselt not on the card. Ar what are your thoughts onre y thisou . We want to know. Now. Know;, isow;, i this a fail or did they get it right . Tweet us use that 5at6 30. Well be right back. Getting ready for the r president ial inauguration butal something is noticeably inaoticy missing from those t commemorative smart triporat cards. Rd check it out. Out lax any reference to or thee te image 18th of donald trump. Tmp smart trip cards from from president obamas inaugurationan showed both his photo and his name. Metro says it tried to get g permission from trumpsm tru campaign to use a photo but b they say they never heard heard back. Ck. Okay. All right. Ronica cleary went out to get get the polls from the people on pel this one to see what they they think about it. Out it ronica. Reporter hey, shawn and sarah. Ra i had a lot of fun hearing hea what people had to say with this. This. Took me by surprise and i thinke by s the lighthearted nae of the way people took this. Thi we have seen president s on actually quite recent. Ent. 2009 and 2013, there were inauguration commemorativetion cards made out for for f f president barack obama. Iden they also made one for mt itt romney in 2012 before he lost ls the race. Ac but prior to that, its really y a spotty history of whether or not the president was actuallycy put on the card. D. We saw bill clinton in 1993. 199 it wasnt his picture but ite bu was a signature but actually metro, you know, just came outat with it and said with georgeithe bush they said theres not a a large public interest. Nterest. I think there might be maybe less controversy if maybe theybe had said that there was a a different reason why he wasnt on the card. Car i think the thing that doestoe have people shaking theirshakin heads is oh we reached out but we never heard back. Ac now its not on there. Not on te that is what has some people questioning whether or notinwhe thats the full story. Sry but take a listen to what to wha people had to say out here by h the Tenleytown Metro stop earlier today. Tay. C sometimes things happen for a reason. Reason. Good. Reporter do you think its a good thing. It is. Orte reporter do you think his picture should be on ther i metro card. Really i dont iti dot doesnt matter to me. Me. Reporter it doesntepor matter. Yeah, it doesnt matter. I think its it do ridiculous. Icou put his face on who cares. Everybody else had theres on. Ro theres a whole bunch of o people that are coming thatt art support him just like thahey did for obama so i think it shouldtu be on there but im not goingoi to make a big deal that its its not. Reporter what do you think up. Thats really good. S ally good. Reporter so you think ithini shouldnt be there. Re well ishouldnt say that. Ta you know, but but reporter how about you. Well, love thinks no evill but at the same time i donton idolize people. Eopl i mean it could be without it. Ii reporter so, ladies, iadies, am going throw myself into thett middle of this very controversial debate and let a l you see my favoritey favor commemorative metro card. Me i dont know if chip can showf n you this. We cant see cant see it. Tell us what it is, ronica. ,oni. Reporter metro card. Cd. We cant see it. Reporter it has shoe on s it from 40 years ago.

All right, well, he is , well i gettsing a lot of late nighteig laughs. La thwart. Actorctalking aboutug alec baldwins impersonationsona of president elect trump onntleu saturday night live. Live. So whats in it for baldwin bin besides all the laughs . Oh,s . Oh yeah, the payout. Well talk about that. Hat. Ive spent my life planting a sizesix, nonslip shoe into that door. On this side, i want my customers to relax and enjoy themselves. But these days its phones before forks. They want wifi out here. But behind that door, i need a private connection for my business. Wifi pro from comcast business. Public wifi for your customers. Private wifi for your business. Strong and secure. Good for a door. And a network. Comcast business. Built for security. Built for business. You. You. May oar may not be surprised about the payout on this. Thats right. Actor alec baldwin gets paid ec baldw play thelao on president elect on saturdayurday night live. Fox5 contributor and entertainment reporter sarahnmen fraser is here with the scoop. Sp sarah, we were talking about this. 1400 thats not really a lot is it . What do you think. Ou thk reporter hi you two. Well, it is the going rate on snl because im sure you guysuy know and for those who dont snl notoriously does not payot that much. Oh, i didnt know that. I reporter yeah. Little fact for you. So, dlitt snl has never paid t contributors all that much soh that 1,400 is actually prettyyt good pretty standard for alec ac baldwin. But the biggest thing is snl snl has had huge ratings since the first time t in alec baldwinbawi appeared as donald trump andruma that was actually october 1stob1 of this year. Ea so since then theyve seen major ratings increases. Re i mean, on the one hand i canan see how 1,400 isnt that muchha if youre an actor like alecikea baldwin who is used to millions but on the other hand the publicity for thaton and alec baldwin getting his namengm out there is amazing. Ng well do you think also, youny know, could it be the facte thec that were going to see him onin just about every episode there is then. Theres so much fodder i gue
