'cause he just might! [ laughter ] >> seth: excellent point. [ cheers and applause ] this has been "point, counterpoint." [ cheers and applause ] ♪ ugh, no bars. oh no, looks like somebody needs a new network. when i got this unlimited plan they told me they were all the same. they're not. verizon has the largest, most-reli

trump transition team member or either candidate trump or president-electmp trump? scenario you could think of in your wellness imagination that you could think that. >> i would think it was only if there was some kind of imminent threat to the united states of america, a direct tie or close tie to a terrorist organization, someone with a known connection to terror. maybe under those circumstances, but i got off the phone with two former cia officials right before i came on with you and both of them, they don't even know each other, but both of them said that her comments that when she sees something interesting, basically i ask for more information. both of them said that's just not how it works. you have to have a specific reason for pulling the identity of an american that is caught up in one of these webs. she gave that scenario of the bomb maker, that's obviously not what was going on here. it was a red herring cheat throughout. >> sean: through my understanding of the intelligence sources that i had helpo me, for you to even view this raw intelligence informat

trump meets china's president in florida. joining us live from our lago is fox news correspondent with the latest. >> good morning. president trump came out tonight and said that the reason he launch this attack on that syrian airbase was because the syrian president had violated international law by gassing his own people, and of the russian government is coming out and saying the u.s. is the one who is in violation of international law. all this has the potential to blow up u.s.-russian relations after what seemed like a very friendly start in terms of u.s. relations with russia at the start of the trump presidency. how did we get here? it was just one week ago that the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. said that regime change in syria is no longer the top priority for the trump administration. really over the last 48 hours, president trump has been into big meetings with his national security council, they presented him with three options and then today they had their final big meeting and president trump decided on a course of

trump won that county. but they didn't vote for a guy that wants to reduce to cut the corporate tax rate in half. they didn't vote for somebody to pay for this wall is going to -- is going to eliminate mills on wheels and the low energy assistance for the elderly. that's not what they voted for. they aren't feeling betrayed yet. they are puzzled. they have mixed feelings and they're beginning to really wonder about is he going to do the billionaire's agenda. so far that's where this president wants to take the country. >> thanks for your time. >> coming up. the amazing behind the scene details that led up to the now infamous legendary notorious comey letter. new on how they help shape an election after. quick break. >>> decisions that made by fbi comey and the run up to presidential election. the decisions that hurt hillary clinton and hurt donald trump. it led mr. comey to inform congress that fbi learned of e-mails possibly pertinent to the clinton investigation which had been closed once before. comey's

she was almost closing in on trump. a lot of what this is -- 96% say they support trump and a stick with their position, a lot of those people were voting against hillary clinton. let's not forget that. trump was not my first choice but he sure wasn't hillary clinton. >> that it was clinton who said that. >> [laughs] >> isn't trump beating hillary and the polls? >> you would be to in the polls. you would beat hillary in the polls. >> you know who would beat hillary? chelsea. >> oh, my god. i wouldn't go that far. his followers, his supporters are really in and if you can accomplish things like he set out to do, he has a very good chance for reelection if the same people turn up for him. and he's able to peel off -- okay, we've got a better situation as it relates to immigration. just 2% are on that regret island. >> keep in mind as i said before. if you did that same poll on virtually any president who won, their supporters after 90 days would be up in the 90s. here is a thing, jesse made a point here about the republic

trump says he's not a flip-flopper. he says he's trying to get the best deal for the american people. >> reporter: i'm laila santiago in mexico city where since the election, president trump has yet to meet face-to-face with mexican's president enrique pena nieto. he promised to fully fund a wall along the border within 100 days of his presidency. that hasn't happened yet. trump has asked congress to fund a small portion of the wall and maintains mexico will pay for it eventually. mexico hasn't paid for it. maintains it never will. now the next topic, nafta, the free trade deal between the u.s., canada and mexico. president trump says it's a one-sided deal, bat for the u.s. mexico says it's willing to renegotiate, but if it's not a good deal for mexico, they'll walk away and take their business to another country. >> reporter: i'm matthew chance in moscow where the view of president trump has undergone a dramatic transformation. he entered the white house promising to improve relations with russia, even speaking of coop

doctrine, if not a trump doctrine, at least a trump foreign policy? >> if there is an emerging trump doctrine, it's very well hidden. i think fareed is absolutely right that there's a lot of confusion still. we don't know quite what directions they're really taking. we don't know how anchored these things are. i want to go to one other point about the decision-making process. i do think fareed is right. we're seeing the beginnings of a decision-making process. but what is notably different from other administrations is the predominance of military voices in that process. and the absence of a strong voice from the civilian side, especially from the state department. at this point in time, if you have a possible -- a real serious crisis brewing with north korea, the secretary of state would be out in front. he would be calling people, he'd be trying to rally other nations to make sure that there's an international agreement upon next steps to try to get negotiations of some sort launched before there's any military action. i think right now, in the abse

they favored trump, they trind to undermine trump's opponent and that this operation continues. and this is a really important point, nicole, that i think is lost on everyone. it's not that the russians engaged in an operation that ended on election day when trump won. this operation by the russians to favor trump torque bolster him and to undermine any opposition, including opposition criticism from democrats, from the news media, this operation is underway at this hour. it continues. this is view of the intelligence community and this is not something that this white house is willing to accept. >> eli, do you think there is any capacity on donald trump's part to hold these two thoughts in his head, that yes what jeremy barb just said is true, that russia interfered in our elections and he would have won those states anyway. can he hold those two tauts thoughts in his head and be aggressive as the intelligence community want him to be, as aggressive as americans wanted him to be on these issues? >> i think he can. when he tweets he tweets about the popular vote and the electora

then we are measuring trump. now we know how to measure trump. when he lies and he's lying about not only president obama but about five million immigrants voting, which is ridiculous, of course. jake: they voted in all the wrong states. [laughter] jorge: exactly. actually, if you take away all the kids who are under 18, it would be almost half the undocumented population went to vote. it's a matter of credibility. i know that we're concerned about fake news. the fact is that you do trust some journalists, i hope. and they're telling you the truth. but when it comes to the credibility of president trump, it's a matter of -- really difficult. because if he decides to get into a war with north korea, do we trust the president? let's remember what happened with george w. bush when there were no weapons of mass destruction. we're forgetting that the country completely changed, even though he was not telling the truth. what happens with trump now if he decides to bomb syria? it's very dangerous. jake: it's a problem for him. in our new cnn poll, for a

trump. however, after 100 days, i really feel sorry about having cast my vote because i really felt that after the election was over, that he would pull the country together and have a very well-balanced set agenda that would move us forward and propel us into the 21st century. mighth as mr. schlesinger say that when hundred days is arbitrary, those of us in the sciences have enough data points to plot and calculate the certainty of seeing things happening deep into the next three years. i'm sorry to say that it looks very gloomy. that really touches on a much bigger agenda. my feeling is that a sound, robust country has to really go to a constitutional convention every 50 or 100 years and really have the whole populace discussing the nuances associated with the constitution. if they felt like things have to be fine tuned to reflect the realities of the day rather than the realities of 100 or 200 years ago, that has to be the way this country can be moved forward. i actually have to disagree
