partner peter kiernan back two days in row lee carter. >> when lee sat down i said i cannot wait to talk about the semantics and the wordplay between democrats and republicans on obamacare versus repeal and play of. >> two different languages, interesting to see who wins i think republicans message -- >> it is, and scare tactics on the left we have goept credential guests fox news military analyst general jack keane chairman of the human rights foundation, and author of winter is coming, garry kasparov is here, new orleans saints drew brees director about boston marathon bombing aftermath of that as well the director of some favorite

movies out there -- i would be the go into list to have you wait hear from him, top stories future of our national intelligence today president obama will be briefed on the alleged russian hacking during the election, this comes as intelligence officials will meet regarding russia and cybersecurity at hearing shared by senator john mccain, director of national intelligence james clapper is expected to testify, tomorrow, president-elect trump and vice president elect mike pence receive their briefings. >> the president-elect has expressed very sincere and health american skepticism about intelligence conclusions that we're going to sit down this week, president and i have been receiving since election regular intelligence abbreviation i think given some of the intelligence failures of -- of the recent years, of president-elect made it clear to the american people that he is skeptical about conclusions.

>> trump is also planning on restrictering the nation top spy agency once he takes office according to reporting in the "the wall street journal" today. the journal citing reasoning that agency is bloated has become too politicized joining is former michigan congressman former chairman house intelligence committee, heat hoekstra congressman good to see what you do you expect to happen in briefings do you think information will be made public to the american people? >> well i think some information clearly will be made public, this should have happened, a month ago these hearings briefings should have taken place long before, four wooem storm allegations about russia, and most came from leaks from the intelligence community. so you know, the process was turned inside out the leak and then briefing you usually start with the briefings congress knows what can't

cannot be public know what intelligence community has found, so we're at the point in the process, where we he should have been at the beginning, the inintelligence commune briefing president briefing president-elect briefing congress what they have discovered, and what their conclusions are. >> congressman what do you make of the report that donald trump is looking at the new trump administration would look at revamping the office of the director of national intelligence also looking at the cia? again, with the aim to make it less politicized because what you were talking about, is a very political intelligence community. >> i think donald trump is taking exactly the right approach, it is time for the intelligence community to move back, into shadows, it should not be out in front of the issues, it should be, informing the president should it be informing congress, of what their analysis is, so that these folks can then go

out and make the political decisions the policy decisions that need to be taking place they need to focus on content, and they have missed koet a lot we had director national intelligence said muslim brotherhood was a socially good organization, they missed benghazi missed rise of isis, so they need to get on content develop human networks human resources, they have to get back to being good at what they used to be good at doing. and get out of the politics. >> congressman christian here cybersecurity senators have said not just about rush this is broadly [cybersecurity and that is something we do know a lot about on the campaign trail but is really where this battle is raging hottest so as someone worked with intelligence before, with congress, what do we need to do, in order to protect surs,

for the future not only looking back what happened with russia how do we protect ourselves in the future make cybersecurity a priority going forward? >> well i think john mccain is right that is why this hearing is so important, not only to talk about russia but what you said he was talking about identifying the threat from cyberer not only hacking of political institutions, it is the hacking of our potentially of our financial institutions, of our business institutions, of our military institutions, and those kinds of things, it is the new battlefield there is no ground rules there, and it is time i think for congress and the administration in america, to step up, and really develop a concerted effort to enhance cybersecurity across the o board because risk is very, very great. >> i point out before we move on to another topic, that there is a report out there, that the fbi never being a accessed dnc servers as part

of the gave is into this hacking a lot of holes a lot of questions left there let's move on congressman, to the obamacare fight, he raging on, so far it is just -- mostly a big war of words, both president obama and mike pence, headed to capitol hill yesterday to coordinate parties efforts how to address the health care act republicans and democrats are working on how to shape their messages to voters, listen to this. >> the first order of business is to repeal and replace obamacare. obamacare has failed. and the american people have sent a decisive message to washington, d.c.. >> the republican plan to cut health care, wouldn't make america great again. it would make america sick again. and lead to chaos instead of affordable care. >> congressman hoekstra did --

donald trump end of warned republicans in congress make sure those democrats i think you said the schumer plans own this a danger if republicans repeal and delay and don't have a replacement and the obamacare essentially sunsets over a period two of to four years. >> yeah i think clearly, there have been people who have benefited from obamacare, that they now received health care coverage, it is llapsing in and of itself but clearly some people have benefited, and you know so republicans are going to have to go a lot of times in policy like this, you have to manage the transition from where you are, you know where you want to go but really important thing is how you manage through that transition. and that is what republicans have to be focused on, as we move to a more improved health care position. they need to manage the transition. >> right. i have to ask you about this i

think watched congressman jim humane on tucker carlson last night a democrat one of the first things out of his mouth literally that americans don't like obamacare, and, by the way, 8 out of 10 support changing it significantly in some way, americans don't like it because they have been lied to by republicans about it because they don't understand it. and i thought that that was level of insanity i rarely hear from democrats. >> the whole process i think on obamacare has been a disaster they say what what we haven't done right articulate the message. >> you are too stupidest to understand i guess premium increases lot of coverage i don't have access to my doctor, and the deductibles high but smoke and mirrors. >> absolutely they are not willing to listen they have their truthths we have ours they are not willing to listen to anybody else it is to their

death 8 out of 10 want change to this that is what republicans say they are going to do they issue going to bring not saying we are going to repeal it let it go we are going to repeal and replace. >> final words. >> i think, you are going to see this -- graphic with democrats standing next to their bill board says make america sick people relates no two together american people have spoken, they want obamacare fixed it is going to be the pox on both houses if they don't do something move forward on this. >> well said, good to see you as always. >> thank you. >> happy new year by the way. >> happy new year. >> google under fire the department of labor, threatening to ban the company from doing business, with the federal government if it doesn't turn over key employee information. and chicken and waffles mcdonald's set ofing a southern favorite in a location near you, the question mark.

challenge i am not sure they make it through quarter without a chapter 11 this is a time of triumph for parts of the retail sector others have to retrench. >> mazey's has incredible amount of re in terms of value do you think acquisition targets? >> the ones they are going if they shut 100 stores 2 ones remain cash flow positive much lower margin than they used to being these stores too bland dependent a lot of private branding big brands getting their own stores combination these are tempting targets because this is great real estate there lampert bought sears for assets. >> you and lee can jump in here is customer experience part of the problem if you operate expensive stores you better get he treated like

king or queen when you walk through doors people don't have that expectation, of say discount chains they expect low prices first and foremost i am talking walmart or target but macy's is altogether different. >> well also, i mean you think of you go into in order symptoms neiman-marcus you get that much more valuable experience but also a culture shift the way especially unioning people wanting to buy they want to go to boutique they want online, as you mentioned amazon, don't like the feeling of the big department store, also, fashion h&m, hugely popular very, very stylish, so they think when you think of macy's you think of older department stores don't necessarily think about cutting edge fashion. >> how they interact with the customers i bought from macy's you had to put in a promo code, in addition to the sale price to get the praise or even a price that was slightly higher than on amazon, for the

same item, again, it makes it that you complicate the sale online, and you don't -- you are not pushing merchandise at consumer. >> the experience at macy's i was there a bunch this holiday season, i found it really, really disappointing. i mean you weigh you can into a nordstrom comparable pricing some products yet in in order symptoms you feel different than going to macy's cluttered the web site isn't an experience so one of the things they said you got to look at experience for the customer they definitely do, because, they are not with the times right now. >> part of the problem is that macy's, kohl's came out with -- kind of decent guidance before the holiday season starting based on how sales in october i think. so that is part of the problem, this is a incredible disappointment. >> big disappointment one of the things that happened structurally changed black friday no longer big day it

termination of secretary defense chuck hagel because he would not rubber-stamp request from the white house with political pressure to release prisoners they have a process there, that they don't go through this committee, because they are too dangerous, what the white house does is sending them back to new committee members, over the course of the following weeks months until they eventually get an okay from the defense department, that is what hagel objected to, and that is also why he is no longer secretary of defense, of course, this is a security, for the united states. 30% do go back, and repeat tests usually at much larger leadership role because they are iconic figures having been in our prison but the secondly, most people believe the numbers considerably higher than the 30%, we just cannot confirm it. >> we know directly from government officials, and from testimony that americans have been killed by get mother detainees who were released

rec recad. >> why fixation on getting detainees out of gitmo other than trying to make good on a promise, from 8 years ago? >> well, i think it is largely that, that he wants to make good on that promise, regardless of the facts on the ground, and number two, that there was so much political objections to his making good on that promise by the congress of the united states, that he is just as he has done in other areas, of his responsibilities he uses executive orders doesn't care what congress thinks trying to empty the prison but not closing prison case congress will not let him do that, that is essentially where he is, it is a falsely narrative to say the reason we are doing this is because this -- enhances their recruiting efforts. that is isis and al-qaida my organization isw tracks what they say every single day there has not been any utterance on that issue over

10 years, in dealing with radical islamists. >> motivated to join because of guantanamo bay that was an issue years and years ago has never been an issue, about those for many years. dagen: and democrats tried to use cost as argument as well, the cost of operating gitmo and the expense, but one of the things that got in the way of closing it and potentially moving those detainees, to u.s. soil other than it has to get past congress, is the cost of doing it, because it didn't make any sense. >> yeah most of the objection is really in the local congressional districts they do not want those detainees in their district, that is that is largely the objection they see it as a security issue, and very content with guantanamo bay off shores of the united states, yes the cost, of course,, you know when you get down below 200, the cost goes astronomical where we are now, in people pleading the fact that it is

not cost beneficial, listen security of american people should not have a cost. >> what do we do with president-elect trump coming into office with gitmo rest in a tough spot by out on the grounds administration. >> will not release anybody i don't think at all, for the foreseeable future. if anything we have to do something about isis in syria obama administration has no plans that may in fact plead to some kind of larger ground operation than we are currently conducting certainly president-elect trump will be given a number of being opposites if he hasn't already will select one of those may lead to more detainees we may find ourselves guantanamo bay taking on new detainees as opposed to releasing them. >> good point, general, moving on to news from overseas car come tore through baghdad market killing at least nine 15 others injured isis has not claimed responsibility for that attack but this is a tactic islamic state juiced is

composite. gap worker taking a 17-year-old shirt and the store manager response is going viral. you can read it there but we have more on that coming up and so much more to discuss with the fantastic panel. former goldman sachs partner peter and pollster lee carter. great to see all of you. we have to talk more about obamacare and the messaging out of the left and the right. >> it is so fascinating. dagen: i can't get my head around it. >> democrats are consistent in your messaging. dagen: do you know why you lost senate two years ago and stunning loss in the white house across the board in november. clearly they do not. >> no, they clearly don't know what it is the american people are looking for. it is the gap in what they believe and what americans believe is completely apparent

in this and it just goes to show what -- why the republican party is the party of the people. dagen: party in charge. coming up this morning new orleans quarterback drew brees, professor of strategy and regular war far sebastian gorka. peter berg. this one is about the boston marathon bombing and the aftermath. president-elect trump claims to revamp top intelligence agencies, this comes as he meets with officials tomorrow as he gets briefing on the russian hacking of the dnc. president obama receives

briefing today. let's bring chairman of the foundation and prodemocracy leader and author of winter is coming, why vladimir putin and the enemies of the free world must be stopped. what is your take on the plant and it's in the wall street journal today that donald trump, his administration wants to revamp the office of the director of national intelligence and also looking at revamping the cia because they've been -- they've become too politicized. >> i don't know the problems with the structural cia, asian yis, may they have to put more people in the field but has nothing to do with the findings about russian hacking and they are not connected. i have no doubt about putin's engagements, putin's fingerprints all over the place, it's not only in this country. that's why i would strongly deny

any comparison of this findings with 2003 failed conclusion of cia, bush administration wanted the conclusion. today we hear reports from almost every major european country, intelligence officers reporting about russian stealing secret documents and running kind of a cyber war to undermine democracy. dagen: donald trump on twitter has dismissed and mocked to use the wall street journal's language the findings of the intelligence community and actually was kind of talking of referencing julian assange yesterday. julian assange said a 14-year-old -- >> hiding in ecuador em embassy in london. how on earth -- he's a criminal? all we have is his denial and also kgb denial. so i think that after 8 years of

the obama administration it causes not only by doing similar things by ruining reputation of cia and fbi. the new administration that is to realize that the credible of the united states is at stake. dagen: senators john mccain holding hearing, james is one of those testifying, senator lindsey graham. they are talking tough about russia, they are talking tough about greater sanctions even beyond what the lightweight stuff that the obama administration did last week. >> amazing that the obama administration has been sitting on the data for a long time. the last thing that obama wanted to reveal it. they deserved to lose. even if this hacking hadn't affected elections, that was well deserved because obama didn't want to do anything about it and he we wanted to hide it but he couldn't it. too little too late and if obama

had this deterrence policy before, maybe we could not be seeing this consequences now. >> gary, it's almost impossible not to compare face-off with putin to a chase game and first move was to remove all opposition at home and the second move was to do annexation, what is his third move and how should we think about playing chess with somebody like vladimir putin? >> you have rules and transparent. putin hates transparency. he can break the rules any time. his goal is to undermine democracy worldwide and he can intervene in america, france and germany because this is the only way for him to prove invincability at home. antiamerica propaganda has become the staple of domestic

policy. even if you want to negotiate with him, you have to do it as leader of the free world. that's what putin wants. >> how would you character the sanction that is just came in? >> it's too little too late. it's not consistent, you know. we need a strategic plan. the same plan that america had 1945 to 1990. only united states can come up with a plan to defeat putin. dagen: u.s. sent special forces troops to the baltic region to help allies fearful of russian aggression against the u.s. and nato allies, plan to deploy at least 800 troops by the spring, you're take on this move in terms of show of force.

>> i had my christmas vacation in estonia, people are freaking out there, they are not sure that nato will be defending them. it's not fair to raise this issue why american boys should die for the baltics. we heard it. also don't forget in 2001, america called article 5 of nato. again, if america shows weakness, you know, it will have to come back later with much more force. >> do you think the president elect's position is dangerous? he's being somewhat dismissive and also but the other thing that he's doing is take time to evaluate and take some plan. >> first you to accept the findings because you have all intelligence agencies and findings from your allies, america should coordinate the plan to oppose putin's cyber

aggression worldwide and i hope that trump unwise comments are caused by ignorance. dagen: go after the money, i will leave it at that. audi trying to get ahead in the autonomous car race, how it plans to get to the finish line? the shelf life on gap return policy going viral. how long one ces mother waited to return a purchase, you don't want to miss e it.

dagen: brutally racially live on facebook. mat in chicago with the latest, mat. >> chicago police tell us this morning they have the four suspects in custody and they are expected to be charged sometime today. four african american attackers tied this young mentally challenged man up and beat him forcing him to curse donald trump. here is a portion of that video that is hard to watch. [inaudible] >> my sister said it's not

funny, y'all. >> the rest of the video is too graphic but they held him at knife point and forced him to speak against donald trump. he was eventually let go and found wandering in the cold. the suspects apparently wanted this to be seen. police say as the torture happened a young female broadcasted it live on facebook, meaning essentially millions of people could have watched it in realtime.es say the mentally challenged male appears to be in late teens or early 20's, police think he met acquaintances in the suburbs and drove him into the city in a stolen car. here is what chicago police had to say. >> it's sickening, it makes you wonder what would make individuals treat somebody like that, you know, so i've been a cop for 28 years and i've seen thicks that you shouldn't see in the lifetime but it still amazes me how you still see things that you just shouldn't. >> now the question is whether

this rises to the level of hate crime, if it does, they face 30 years in prison. we are following this today and we will keep you updated on what type of charges are thrown at the suspects. dagen. dagen: matt, thank you so much. matt for us in chicago. not a hate crime, disgusting. three people injured but alive this morning after a small plane crashed before taking off in wisconsin. cheryl casone has the details on that and more headlines. cheryl. cheryl: three passengers including a virginia couple and their infant son who was on their way home from visiting family from the holidays, their single engine plane struck a car parked on the side of the runway. you can see it here the video, winds recorded at the time of the crash which left the plane in pieces, the couple was injured but 6-month-old child completely okay. 2016 was a good year for the auto industry, sales in trucks hit a record high thanks to

surge in demand in the month of december. sales last month increased 3% from a year earlier by discount of $4,000. that's the highest since beginning of financial crisis. 18million vehicles sold last truck with trucks 60%. audi is putting the pedal to the metal when it concludes to fully driverless video. they plan to develop a video that can hit the road by 2020. new plan as tesla rolls out improvements to auto pilot system after a high-profile crash killed a tesla driver while system engaged. well, gap employee has refunded a customer for a 17-year-old shirt, yeah, it was sold back in 2000 for 25 bucks, a manager freaked out about this, they hung the shirt with a note, who

on earth accepted this as a return. it got more than 75,000 votes, people are supporting the manager who says, really, you had to do that? back to you. dagen: president-elect trump take to go twitter moments ago to weigh in on the battle over obamacare. quote, the democrats lead -- led by head clown chuck schumer, know how bad obamacare is and what a mess they are in, instead of work to go fix it, they do the typical political thing and blame. the fact is obamacare was a lie from the beginning, quote, keep your doctor, keep your plan, it is time for republicans an democrats to get together and come up with a healthcare plan that really works, much less expensive and far better. guess what we are talking about in just a matter of minutes? that very thing, the healthcare battle and what to do to fix obamacare or get rid of it

liberty mutual insurance. dagen: republicans and democrats sparring over the future of obamacare where both sides making promises and finding fault with one another. >> we want to make sure as we give relief we do it without pulling any rug out of anybody. >> to cut health care wouldn't

make america great again, it would make america sick again. it is their obligation, they are voting for repeal, it is their obligation to come up with replace, once they come up with a full replace, we will look at it. dagen: president-elect trump taking battle to twitter moments ago tweeting this. quote, the democrats led by head clown chuck schumer know how bad obamacare is and what a mez they are in, instead of working to fix it they do the typical political game and blame. the fact is that obamacare was a lie from the beginning, keep your doctor, keep your plan. it is time for republicans and democrats to come together to get together and come up with a healthcare plan that really works, much less expensive and far better. joining me now is former high-mark insurance ceo and family and emergency medicine physician dr. janet.

the democrats still think it's awesome sauce. i heard multitudes of democrats say, well, we wanted to ensure more people, almost 20 million people have gotten insurance, what's wrong with it? >> dagen, this is a bill that is massively complex. it took three years to write the regulations, two years to pass the bill, we were over in the third year of it and people don't like it. lots of people don't like it and it's not working. dagen: soaring premiums, high deductibles, people lost health insurance provider, they don't have doctor choice and you're going the start see healthcare costs continue to balloon? >> it is not lowered healthcare costs at all. it's health inflate healthcare costs, the goal was 30 to 35 million people covered. it's only reached 20 million covered and half of those are medicaid, it could have been expansion of medicaid program. the number of people who are

newly covered through the exchanges is about 10 million, 5 million of those people were covered with insurance, we've had incredibly large complex overbearing law to get 5 million people covered and so there is a path forward, though, and i think that secretary elect or -- price has a plan that has a lot of good aspects to it and democrats ought to be working with republicans not saying make america sick again. dagen: they are not going to do that. they are going to let the republicans potentially make a big mistake and one of the concerns is you do repeal and you have a sunset of the repeal of two to four years and you don't have a quick replacement in place and that could do more damage potentially. i heard that from both sides of the aisle. >> you can't pull the rug from underneath people. you can't take away what they've been given. that's very scary for the for

the first time are having medical insurance. we have the most innovative medical care in the world but the costs are astronomical. it's very detrimental what's happening to the patient-doctor relationship. as a doctor and director here in new york city, mayor medical group, you know, my number one priority, my number one is patient care. i want to be be able to give good patient care to my patients. dagen: what do you want washington to do? >> tax cuts, i'm -- tax credit, health savings account, no mandates, we need to eliminate the mandate. we need to eliminate discrimination and allow more options for patients, that's so important. that's why i'm a huge fan of dr. price. he's all about envisionment, empowering the patient, putting the power on the hands of doctors and not the federal government. dagen: what do insurers do if they think repeal is passed and

we are not certain what the plan is? >> that's right. this is like a rubick's cube. you can break it down. there's the medicaid piece, there's the medicaid piece, there's the exchanges which are the subsidies are. some things that can be done to greatly simplify the subsidy part which is where the refundable tax credit. dagen: tom price's plan. >> i was ceo during time we implemented this law, there was a change every week, if not every day and the regulation in -- and that has continued and it's way too complex. i just was reading a survey from employers, employers identify this law as one of their biggest problems, you know, that they deal with because it's so complex and the reporting requirements are huge.

a lot of that can be eliminated. dagen: i actually touched on that yesterday when i interviewed the former head, this is small businesses, thousands of them, the most severe problem is the cost of health insurance and health care and she literally said, they always say that. you know what, after we've had what it was passed in 2016, six years of obamacare and they are still saying it so that means you didn't fix it. >> premiums are going higher, less choices, less options for patients. doctors are working less hours, working less resources, patients have less options and this is detrimental to the patient-doctor relationship. the doctor needs to create a bond and trust with the patient and connect with the patient. the reason why this is so important is better patient outcome. the doctor trusts you, if your -- if you trust your

doctor, you're going to take blood pressure medicine, you are going to watch sugar and follow up with your doctor and in the long-run you will live longer. anything that erodes with the patient-dr. relationship in my opinion is sinful and unlawful. dagen: i know that senator rand paul has come out against this and he's basically he's against this because of budget reasons. ironic that a libertarian is against repealing an entitlement program. >> there are some issues where there's taxes and sources of funds that were in the affordable care act because if those are all removed, you'll have to come up with new funds, where the dollars going to come from for tax credits, but there's a path forward, dagen, i really believe that. if democrats will work with republicans and be constructive about this.

dagen: i will give you the final word, dr. janet. it's about taking power of the federal government and bureaucrats and putting it back on the hands of states, doctors and patients themselves. >> absolutely, the bottom line is, we need to change, we need a positive change. this isn't about washington, this is about the american people, patients in our country and doing what's best for them. they need more options, they need affordable health care and they need good-quality health care, you know what, we put a man on the moon, we should be able to come up with something. dagen: we should. >> when dr. price gets confirmed we will have good things to come. >> let's make it simpler. dagen: i hope they're all listening. good to see you. take care. >> thanks for having us. dagen: u.s. former attorney general eric holder getting a new job, he's set to help california fight the president elect's policies and crazy

carry-ons to light what the tsa found in passengers' bags in 2016. transportation or government. we touch millions of lives every day. conduent. advancing the everyday.

extraordinary challenges ahead. meantime the transition of power continues in our nation's capitol, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell reiterating confidence in the new administration's cabinet picks and that they will be confirmed by the senate. >> i believe all of our -- all the president elect's cabinet appointments will be confirmed. i think it would be great if the democrats would understand particularly with regard to national security team, security of defense, cia, homeland security, it would make a lot of sense to have those folks in place on day one. dagen: latest as the country's new leadership continues to take shape. ever wonder why the lines at the airport are so long from sea horses to walking dead memorabilia, the weirdest things that travelers tried to get through security last year, i cannot wait for that. credit score companies dealing dealing with bad ratings of their own, why two of the

annual ice festival kicks off. the state's top democratic lawmakers are bringing in former attorney general eric holder as outside counsel, say, quote, with the upcoming changes in administration, we expect there will be extraordinary challenges for california in the uncertain times ahead. joining us this morning university virginia senator for politics director larry, larry, your thoughts on this? again, he's the poster child for what i would call the -- those who will oppose trump. >> dagen, we are talking about california. california has 12 and a half percent of the nation's population but they have a heavy concentration of antitrump voters. you know, he got -- he was tied for the lowest percentage ever recorded by a major party

candidate in california, little over 31%. he tied al landon back in 1936, that was a great campaign and i remember it well. but as far as california is concerned, look, they're going to be fighting the administration on climate change and goodness knows how many other topics, so they're getting ready. dagen: do you think more states will follow california's lead then because that's not the only state that didn't vote for donald trump? >> if others do, i think we would first see it in washington state, in oregon, you know, there's some people out there encouraging the succession. others pushing together to join as cascadia. that's a nice name and do the same thing. not going to happen. i think washington and oregon have a similar orientation to california.

dagen: larry here is peter. >> great to see you, how are you? >> wonderful. >> in your wonderful book you said presidential legacies are a bequest. giving the urgency turning some things that obama tried to put in place, what's your opinion of what the obama legacy is going to be, what's his bequest? >> first, a great shout-out to peter, he's a terrific supporter of the university of virginia and, yes, my own senate for politics and peter, we appreciate you and we thank you. now, what was the question? [laughter] >> i remember the question. the legacy for barack obama starts with being the first african-american president and i'm not sure there's going to be a whole lot left after the trump administration, whatever people are saying now, most of obamacare is gone, they'll have to save pieces of it but the name is gone, the legacy is gone, climate change,ic, that's

going to be cut way back, go down the list of things that barack obama has done, immigration, go through those executive orders repealed, revoked, repeal, revoked. honestly, peter, i don't know what's going to be left other than that very personal and important part of the country's history. dagen: i just want to add before we get lee in here, but 145 new regulations merely in the 36-working days from the election until the end of december and 31 of those 145 are economically significant. they have a cost of a hundred million dollars or more. the total cost just since the election in terms of regulation is almost $22 million. that's a crushing blow to the economy. >> incredible. a lot of people are really looking forward to donald trump's administration and scaling back several of those. larry, just a quick question.

going back to california which obviously has tons of regulations like dagen just mentioned. you said that they do have 12.5% of the population and significant contributor to gdp to this country, actually more gdp than some small countries in the world. to what extent will the trump administration have to listen to this very vocal opposition in the form of california and now attorney general eric holder, former attorney general, i should say? >> you phrase that the right way. i think they will listen, they're not going to do much about it because, again, their constituency, the trump constituency is behind that blue wall that fell. it's in the rust belt, it's in the south, it's in the heart land of the country, all the farm states of the midwest, so that's not where trump's constituency is and it isn't going to be in 2020 either. you know, i think there are great limits there, lifting is

fine, doing something about it quite another thing, that's why california is gourding for battle. dagen: larry, from the university of virginia, good to see you, larry. >> thank you, dagen. dagen: the best of china's annual ice sculptor festival. classic tricycle to fight childhood obesity. that's ahead we live in a pick and choose world. choose. choose. choose. but at bedtime... ...why settle for this? enter sleep number and the

and what if this happened again? i was given warfin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding.

both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. dagen: tsa out with some of the

dagen: drew brees has a success on and off the field not only as new orleans saints quarterback still playing at the top of his game but also a successful businessman dipping into a business venture with dunkin' donuts. drew, why dunkin donuts. why dunkin? >> there's a couple of reasons, first of all, it's a great product, service and incredible brand to be able to bring down here to the state of louisiana. another thing is it continues to build the economy here, create jobs which is the life, blood of our community. it's a challenge to bring a national brand down here to louisiana and educate our

customers down here about dunkin. i think a lot of people when they first see dunkin doughnuts down here since we are bringing the brand here they think doughnuts. what has impressed with the relationship of dunkin, how it's evolved over the years. ice coffee, hot coffee, m machiatos, smoothies, a ton of different breakfast and lunch sandwich options. most of our restaurants are drive-throughs. you are a part of many other business ventures, jimmy johns, walk on enterprises which is behind basely pubs or bars.

what is driving your focus on business? do you see this as your legacy being -- running all of these businesses, maybe as oppose to your work as a quarterback? >> listen, if you're asking me about legacy, i want that to be that i'm a great husband, great father and great member of the community, but i mean, football -- football is my job, that's what i do, i love the game of football and it gives me a great platform not only within the game but to be able to have incredible influence off the field, you know, from a business perspective, i -- there's a lot of things i'm interested in. but i do love franchising. we have been successful with jimmy jean's. now dunkin dounts. existing business, successful business and integrating that in communities you live in.

great product and brand to your community. dagen: you made the community down there proud as the quarterback of the saints, you made nfl history just recently when you reached 5,000 passing yards in a single season for the fifth time but your saints had a losing season, so what about next year? the reports say that you don't plan on signing a contract extension. what are you doing to do to turn it around next year? >> well, we've -- obviously it's always disappointing to come off a season when you don't have a chance to the playoffs. at the end of the day the ultimate goal is get into the playoffs and have a chance at a championship. we have experienced that in new orleans and we know what that feels like and we know what it takes. we built incredible foundation by which we can be successful in the future. sometimes you have to go through tough times to reach the mountain top. i feel like we have the right core pieces in place, now it's

just a matter of putting it altogether. dagen: is dallas, a cowboys the team to beat, you think? >> well, i think they have proven that. i think atlanta is a strong team. i think green bay is coming on at the right time. so, you know, really anything can happen on the playoffs. i think that's been proven over the years, it doesn't matter whether you're one or two seed, the wild card teams go on the road and beat the teams all of the time. dagen: i want to ask you about dak prescott, are you impressed how poised in debut season? >> i could not be more impressed with the way he handled everything and how productive he's been on the field and he looks like he's in great command of that offense and -- of that team. he's certainly taken advantage of every opportunity he's been given and, you know, for a giem giew to come with that much

poise and confidence and handle everything that's come his way and had the success that they've had, i could not be more impressed with that young man. dagen: you mentioned jimmy johns and i know donald trump is a fan of jimmy johns. we have seen incredible optimism, tax cuts for individuals and businesses from this new administration, are you optimistic about a better operating climate for small businesses because that's where you are right now that's your wheel house? >> yeah, you know, i think so but honestly that's -- none of those things are things that we control. i think we all -- we all hope that environment is going to be created that continues to spur
