the bottom line is hillary clinton did not have a coherent message during this campaign. ask anybody at the new year's eve party tomorrow night what was hillary clinton's message what she was going to do in washington except donald trump is a bad guy and is he inco-tent vote for me. put donald trump on an elevator what was donald trump's message let's see build a wall on the southern border. we are going to have better trade deal with china and mexico. we are going to keep jobs here and keep companies from leaving and destroy isis. that's it. he had a message. hillary clinton did not. that's why she lost, rick. >> and tell me about this media being complicity in this whole russia story. they are not asking the questions whereas we are finding out things through weeks or whatever that the media didn't ask. >> well, look, put the election results aside, a foreign nation, russia, you know, came and hacked a democratic party server, leaked information to try to alter our election. that's "the big story." and this notion that that's not a big deal and that president-elect trum

he encouraged vladimir putin to hack into the clinton campaign's emails. the russian government did that and released those emails. you now have a president who has been elected with the help of a foreign government, a foreign dictator and. >> matt, how do you help? come on. this is the left talking point. >> he helped by hacking in to the clinton campaign's emails by turning those emails over to weeks. >> to discover truth. >> i'm glad to see that you support a foreign government. >> i don't, i don't. but you are not -- but, matt, you're not concerned with the truth. let's say the russians did uncover on hillary clinton that we would have never known but for their actions. i'm not suggesting they did the right thing. i'm not suggesting they did it at all. >> i have got to go -- hot debate and matthew, we are waiting to see some evidence. matthew and brad, thank you very much. a huge economic announcement from donald trump today. is it good for business? we'll debate it directly ahead. >> in the impact segment tonight, president-elect donald trump took a f

he went on to say that perhaps the clinton campaign took too much for granted. perhaps they played it too cautiously. >> for his part, donald trump dismissed the president's claim writing on twitter, quote: president obama said that he thinks he would have won against me. he should say that but i say no way. jobs leaving, isis o care, et cetera. unquote. joining with us reaction is lisa booth, a fox news contributor and washington, d.c. richard good stein a democratic strategist who worked on clinton's 2008 campaign. richard, really, of course, he is going to say that now. oh i would have beaten donald trump because he couldn't have run obvious question. is he saying he would have done better against donald trump and this hillary did. >> yes. let me give you an illustration. i was a pole watchner 2008 in entirely black voting place for early voting election day in fort lauderdale, florida. last day the lines were hours long. first-time voter summoned me offer and said, can i just vote for barack i said well you could. >> why don't they have express line for peop

trying to make this, again, the clinton campaign participating in the recount. it's a huge, huge mistake on their part, again, looking to 18. >> this can't be good for the democratic party brand. i think you would agree with that david, you said something earlier. >> may i respond? >> sure respond to sarah. >> sure. look. some of the biggest, most important states in this country are run by democrats. california, illinois, new york. talk about bombing success story. you look at minnesota, versus wisconsin, wisconsin my home state where republicans took over running everything now, democrats run minnesota. which state is doing better economically? minnesota. in the states we are going to see plenty of examples where democrats, progressives policies actually work for everybody and we can hold that up against whatever it is donald trump is going to do. we don't really know. we don't know what he is going to do. >> i think when president obama tried to split the republican party in half, he tried to separate the tea party wing from the more establishment republican

as we reported, even though secretary clinton won the popular vote by 2.8 million, the progressive state of california provided all of that margin. clinton defeating trump there by 4.3 million votes. so if the electoral college were abolished presidential candidates could simply campaign in the nation's largest states and cities, new york, l.a., chicago, houston, and rack up enough votes to pretty much win any election. that's what the left wants. that's what they want. because in the large urban areas and blue states like new york and california, minorities are subsubstantial. look at the landscape. philadelphia, dallas-fort worth, miami, in all of these places the minority vote usually goes heavily to the democrats, head to l.a., chicago, san francisco don't really have a national election anymore, do you? you have targeted populations. newspapers like the "new york times" and the "l.a. times" have editorialized to get rid much the electoral college they well know that neutralizing the largely white rural areas in the midwest and south will assure liberal politicians get power and keep

president obama in the past couple of years has waged a very strong campaign of sanctions against russian occupation of ukraine and annexation of crimea. they were certain that hillary clinton would have a tougher policy against russia than donald trump would have and for this time that we're talking about this, 17 u.s. intelligence agencies are confirming that senior russian officials, including vladimir putin, were trying to influence the u.s. election to support donald trump. >> why is that? why is that? so you just tell me that they respond to rewards. we've rewarded russia by not sanctioning them. >> we have not. >> we sanctioned them heavily. >> guess who wanted to lift the sanctions? tillerson wants to lift the sanctions. donald trump wants to left the sanctions. >> these sanctions are no teeth. let me bring michael in. >> absolutely what needs to happen here, first of all, it's one thing for obama to say these intelligence agencies are on board with the assessment, but is he refusing to brief the house intelligence committee that's been asking for the evidence because they haven't

source and that the source was within the clinton campaign and they discussed the corruption at the clinton foundation and that this source had legal access to the e-mails. >> pretty compelling factual narrative to say what the genesis of this was. that doesn't comport with what they want to tell the american people is the story. they want to be able to try to undermine the presidency to come of donald trump, the movement that put him in and to discount the flawed nature of their candidat regard for the law of the american people and concealed and destroyed evidence and caused lives to be lost in benghazi nap's the real story. >> we know the cia did politicize what happened in benghazi because they had the false nair tiff of the sp spontaneous demonstrations. are either of you worried at all about the electors that are being intimidated? >> i'm concerned that the cia -- they're supposed to be a house intel committee meeting tomorrow behind closed doors, on the record in private and the cia wouldn't put an intel evidence -- >> maybe they think the evidence is flimsy and weak. >> sinc

go like a pro. >>> the fire works line was hillary clinton's campaign. the question, are the speeches about for the country? now, joining us, mike huckabee. >> they're great. it's a perfect way to bypass the media and get out of the bubble. and get away from all of the environment politicians get wrapped up in. two, go out and rub shoulders. he needs to see that connection and to feel it. and he's being reminded of who is for him and taking the energy, like gasoline in the tank. bill, i hope he continues to do it. >> so when he thanks the people who supported him and repledge that's he's going to look out for them and that that makes people like him. you have those who are skeptical. we've never seen a president make a speech like donald trump makes a speech. >> never. >> that is good and this is a disruptive election. one of the things i believe trump will do is when he gets results from people starting to go back to work, at carrier and that is the results. >> that is what it is. >> good policy is great politics. >> so you don't feel it's a negative? >

. >> the firework line was hillary clinton's campaign that ordered fireworks and then cancelled them. the question are these speeches good for the country? with us now fox news analyst and former governor of arkansas mike huckabee are they good? >> they are great. perfect way for him to bypass the media and do two things very important for him right now. one, get out of the bubble. get away from all of the insular environment that politicians get wrapped in. number two, go out there and rub shoulders with the people who elected them he needs it not so much as for hitheir sake as for his sake. one of the most powerful things that donald trump is doing is getting out of trump tower. away from his meetings and going out there and being reminded of who was for him and taking the energy. it's like gasoline in the tank. and, bill, i hope he continues to do it after is he sworn in as president. >> all right. so, when he goes out and he thanks the people who supported him. and repledges, which he always does, that he going to look out for them. no matter what, i'm working for you are and all

our next president, the bombshell from the man who ran clinton's campaign. john

the reviews comes after the dnc and the clinton campaign had embarrassing e-mails released to the public. the obama administration suspects that the russian government was behind the dnc attack. the review is scheduled to be completed before president obama leaves office. as for mr. trump, he was in michigan tonight as part of his thank you tour but did not address the controversy.

it was on paper. >> email. >> exactly. >> to the clinton people. cnn and nbc news got hurt the worst in wikileaks. >> agreed. >> cnn with donna brazile feeding the clinton campaign actual questions. and then a couple of guys working for nbc basically toting up to john podesta in charge of the clinton campaign when can i ask this? should i ask that? was there anybody else who got embarrassed? >> politico shared three stories you could see on wikileaks alone that's john just john podesta's email. three stories in advance. >> politico, website. >> lawyers actually sending to podesta, here is what i'm going to write. is this okay? >> you know, i have never ever taken any news out of the internet and i understand that facebook now is the dominant news deliverer for the united states of america. more people get their news on facebook than any place else. >> pew research, fascinating study, northeasterly half of american adults, half, get their news from facebook. now, let's be clear what facebook does. they don't have a news team. they're not producing t

the clinton campaign we're in a fundamentally flawed campaign and they refused to take any blame for the way the campaign turned out. they blame everybody except themselves for it. >> one of the things donald trump talked about was $4 billion being spent on air force one, a contract with boeing. i want to be clear here. i think the president of the united states regardless of who it happens to be needs the best, the safest aircraft in the day and age of radical islam and isis and al qaeda and fear of surface-to-air missiles. it's a scary time. air force one will need defenses no other plane needs. it's the right thing to do. here is what donald trump said earlier. >> the plane is totally out of control. it's going to be over $4 billion. it's for air force one program. i think it's ridiculous. i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money. thank you. >> "usa today" said $3.2 billion but somewhere in the range which is astronomical. i can't fathom any plane or two planes costing that amount of money. your thoughts? >> we

she put forth no vision on immigration other than the status quo which has been a collosal failure. thus, trump's tough guy approach to enforcing immigration law, propelled his campaign despite the unending charges of racism that came his way. so now the question becomes what is a fair policy ins this most emotional of arenas. for that we turn to australia, a nation of about 24 million people. but with the land mass almost exactly the same as america's. and we have 325 million people. so there is plenty of room to roam down under. if you are caught you are forcibly taken by the aussie military to remote locations in the south pacific where you can either sit for years or to be deported home. australia accepts less than 15,000 migrants a year on a humanitarian basis. recently announced it would take 12,000 syrian refugees on top of that but even more recently the obama administration said it would take more than 2,000 refugees currently languishing in the south pacific, human beings that australia refuses to bring to its mainland. now my question is why not? why won't the aussies tak

one of the main points that the clinton campaign made at that harvard forum was that donald trump was appealing to white supremacists. but he got 672 million votes. are there that many racists in this country. >> i don't think there are that many racists. i would be nervous if there were. i think we all would be there is a reason why david duke said congratulations. >> are you responsible for every person who supports you. >> i think it was meaningful and meaningful animater of the campaign. disappointing trump didn't do a stronger disavowel of it part of the critique that you hear is what happened the lead up to it the birtherrism that you saw for multiple years wasn't helpful. when all was said and done that wasn't why hillary lost. >> we will get to why she lost in a minute. but, matt, the clinton camp make makes the point that trump mainstream, the alt right mainstreamed anti-immigrant. anti-minority white nationalist. do they have a point there. it was hillary clinton who did it in her famous speech where she talked about the alt right which as a conservative leader was the first

this is what he loved to do during the election campaign. remember when his campaign kind of tried to put some reins and a bridle on him and he chafed against that he always loved a big rally and he got one tonight in cincinnati. he kind of lamented the new position of president, the security that comes with it at the beginning of his speech because the secret service had the bridges and roads were for blocks around the arena here blocked off so people couldn't get inside. trump said i'm going to have to talk to the secret service about some new kind of arrangement. it just shows how things do change in some ways when you become the president-elect. but in a lot of ways, tucker. nothing changes from the campaign. >> well, i have noticed that this is a small thing but for those of us taya lot of president trump rallies playing a lot of set rallies. you can't always get what you want he chose himself. >> yes, each and every unwith of them when he added in the back street boys probably about the beginning of october, it was a welcome diversific

now, as you know, this was a major campaign issue between clinton and trump over muslim immigration. the democratic party angry that the republican party wants to limit immigration from terrorist states like somalia. thus, donald trump was branded an anti-muslim bigot. but step back for a moment. while most refugees who come to the u.s.a. are good people, a significant number are not. and when you have radicalized countries like somalia where isis and al qaeda are widely accepted, shouldn't there be extreme vetting as mr. trump has proposed? chances are the artan family would not have been flagged as their records are clean. however, it's obvious abdul did not assimilate. is he a terrorist by his own statements and there are others like him living here right now. america is a compassionate country. but there is a worldwide islamic juwaad underway. preventing harm from that has to be given priority over humanitarian concerns. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. largest somali community in the u.s.a. is in the twin city area of minnesota. columbus, ohio is second. more

the president-elect's former campaign rival, dr. ben carson, confirmed that he has been offered a position in trump's cabinet n a dramatic twist, mr. trump signaled he is unlikely to pursue a criminal investigation into hillary clinton. a short time ago, i spoke with incoming p white house chief of staff, reince priebus. >> president-elect donald trump said today that he was probably not going to pursue prosecution, extended prosecution of the clintons, hillary clinton, bill clinton, maybe the clinton foundation. then there was some discussion with "the new york times." is it a little foggy. will he or you or the administration pursue a special prosecutor to prosecute the clintons? >> well, look, first of all, we don't know where all the the evidence is going to lead but what president-elect trump was saying was that he would rather look forward instead of backwards. his eyes right now are looking through the windshield, not the rearview mirror. that was the point he was making in that he is not going to spend his time sitting aroun

he was so involved in the 2012 campaign, there were moments you remember where it seems as though obama hired clinton as a defense lawyer. >> so it sounds like -- and i summarize in saying in the last 20 or 25 years former democrat presidents get involved and republicans seem to stay out of it. >> that has been the pattern in the last century as you say. our friends wrote a wonderful book called "the presidents club" about these complicated relationships between former presidents. i think the great model is eisenhower who was not a fan of jack kennedy. jack kennedy kwwas not a fan of his but when he got in trouble with the bay of pigs, he reached out to eisenhower and he came to camp david and gave counsel. i think obama is keeping a channel open to trump to see whether trump might in fact reach it out to him perhaps privately. >> you wrote a book about andrew jackson. steve bannon, donald trump's right-hand man, senior adviser, has compared donald trump to andrew jackson. is that a fair comparison? >> you know, i don't think so. i think the idea of a populist movement of people rising

, especially after 9/11 very non-script. >> you go, listen, you didn't have a problem with the clinton foundation. why do you have a problem with rudy giuliani? >> you could certainly try. that's why the key word was save. it wasn't under the bus. we still want him. also, quickly, i'm hearing from people in transition. in the end it doesn't matter if giuliani is secretary this or that. he will be right next to the president and in some cases he could end up being more influential as an informal advisor than being in the cabinet. you have heard that from mike hu huckabee. just because you have secretary we have seen in cabinet were better be to advisor and have influence. >> trump university there was a settlement in that lawsuit. >> well, look, on its face it's little bit of a flip flop for the president-elect. let's be blunt and truthful which is some months ago he said i will never settle this case on principle. well, things change. and i think micks sense why he decided to settle it. what's changed is he had the president-elect. and he is getting all this heat that the transition is

. >> he was referring -- he clarified it by the to say the way his campaign was run. >> hillary clinton said when she called half of donald trump's supporters basket of deplorables. cites that as one of the biggest campaign mistakes maybe costing her the election. is he making a political suicide with his comment? >> i don't think so. i think he is talking about something that a lot of people feel. even probably some people who voted for donald trump who supported his change method but don't support his ethics. don't support his way to treat other people. don't support the way he talks about minorities. his rhetoric is entirely too divisive. it is not presidential. we have never had a president who talks the way he does. who. >> you know what it sounds like? it sounds like a democrat who can't get over it. they lost. you lost. he lost. stop it. you have the president-elect now. and frankly everything he has done since elected president there is none of the stuff you are talking about. he is handling himself very respectfully, no? do you approve of the way president-elect donald trump ha

they would never say about the clinton campaign verbs like lurched. this was not on the opinion page it was front page. >> back to trump's deficiencies. every article started thought a different way and all circled back. >> bill i have got to tell you ever any doubt about the "times" bias only show you the front page of the "new york times" yesterday, thursday, the day -- the day after because, obviously, the results came in the wednesday paper. their second day coverage and for those who can't see the headline democrats, students, and foreign allies face the reality of a trump presidency. not trump takes over, trump con sal dates power, a new day. but students face reality. i expected them to say the faces the reality of trump. that's astonishing headline. >> it is. it didn't offend me though because i don't see that as trying to social engineer the country. that's my next question. obviously, my opinion is that all of this media bias, which is in disputable helped trump because folks said i'm tired of this. we know you are being unfair and we -- you

there is no question that the democratic machine waged an arrogant campaign that justified hillary clinton's incredible record of ethical deficiencies. while many politicians lead mrs. clinton seems uncapable of speaking the truth. her exploitation of a massive charitable foundation for her own benefit is simply stunning. even more troubling she sincerely believes she did nothing wrong or has ever done anything wrong. americans even some who voted for her noticed the narcissism. thus, they denied hillary clinton power. here's what talking points said last wednesday when it explained why clinton might lose. >> there should be grave concern in the clinton camp. the reason the secretary may lose is that the tipping point may have been reached. if you are familiar with malcolm gladwell's theory bad things mount up and then suddenly, at a dramatic moment, everything comes crashing down. >> and that's exactly what happened. the american people have had enough of hillary clinton. on the policy front, important statements were made yesterday. first, working folks are tired of supplementing millions

clinton and trump campaigning late in the night. take to you pennsylvania and new hampshire show you a bit of that. later, watters in times square with the voters. >> are you ready for the election to be over? >> kind of, no. can we just have obama for a few more weeks? [ laughter ] >> we hope you stay tuned to those reports. >>> continuing now with election preview with us bret baier along with kelly, hemmer, along with thousands covering the election tomorrow night. rallies going on in philadelphia. that's bruce springsteen. if i'm going for the minority vote. i wouldn't have had the pose. i would have the oj's. love train. that's who i would have had. if i'm going out with the minorities. bruce is great, okay, fine. jersey is going to vote for clinton. pence, he is setting up trump in new hampshire where they think they have a shot. very strange stuff going on right now. all right? you have got hillary clinton doing a midnight rally in raleigh, north carolina. now, i know she doesn't want to do that. but she feels she has to. >>

to torment the clinton campaign. apparently doug band who helped run the clinton foundation was concerned that chelsea clinton was using foundation assets for, quote, her wedding and life for a decade, unquote. and stated that in an e-mail to john podesta, which also said, quote, i hope you will speak to her and end this. we really don't know who her is. hillary or chelsea. but either way. it is clear that the clinton foundation money was being used for personal advantage for all three clintons. now, whether that is important to you the voter, remains to be seen. but it is important to talking points. every time the clinton foundation comes up, the clbts people say this -- the clinton people say this. >> as you know, the foundation does great work around the world and the distribution of aids drugs here in the united states and the distribution of drugs to battle opioid addiction. >> and that is the mantra that the foundation does a lot of good. and it does. but that is not the point. the charity foundations are supp

he has gotten billions of dollars of it and he doesn't have the campaign funding that hillary clinton does have. he doesn't have the ground game that she has. the one thing he's got is an ability to generate news. >> but he gets it anyway. >> well, he hasn't really gotten it anyway because as mr. wallin pointed out it's been hillary clinton that's generated the news because of the fbi thing. here's one thing i wantthing. here's the one thing i want you to consider. mitt romney was not a guy who made a lot of unforced errors. we offered him a full hour here the night before the election 2012. all right. he passed. he didn't want to answer any questions. he thought he had it won. i'm not sure whether the trump campaign thinks it has it won, although they are on the assent. i'm not sure whether this is a good strategy or not because donald trump is his own best salesman. >> i don't think that he is his best salesman anymore. if you look at the last two months of the campaign, the candidate that's been in the spotlight has dropped in the polls. right now there's an opportunity for him to

the clinton campaign told us she would likely do an interview with the factor. that has turned out not to be true. even when mrs. clinton did appear here on the phone talking about the terror attack in france, she indicated she was going to speak with me. but this isn't personal. since september 12th hillary clinton has not done one, not one national television interview with a journalist. she is hiding. she is also impurest, feeling she is above questioning. if elected president you can expect very little interaction with the press or with the folks from secretary clinton. so all of this, the continuing ethical problems, the detachment from the voters, the attitude that she deserves the presidency, all of it is playing into her declining poll numbers. there are five days left before the vote. we expect more hacking leaks and perhaps some new personal attacks on donald trump. but the only thing holding mrs. clinton up right now is mr. trump's negatives. but they will not mean very much if the marginal clinton support stays home on election day. and that's a very

you say the clinton campaign is illegally lending money to people and have a condo in jersey? >> i think it could be worse than that. it may be much worse. the fact is how do you collect $153 million in speaking fees from 2001 until '13? that's pretty major. >> you have got to make a good opening jokes to get that kind of jack. we appreciate you coming on as always. thank you. new polling says the media in the tank for hillary clinton. we'll give you the numbers on that. and miller on how to survive until election day. the factor is coming right back. what's it like to be in good hands? like finding new ways to be taken care of. home, car, life insurance obviously, ohhh... but with added touches you can't get everywhere else, like claim free rewards... or safe driving bonus checks. even a claim satisfaction guaranteeeeeeeeeee! in means protection plus unique extras only from an expert allstate agent. it's good to be in, good hands.
