putin has been throwing -- and it's not just putin. if you look at demographics, finances, military and everything else.fford th so russia cannot afford the same expansionist policies and soviet union. by the way, also failed of spreading around but for russia spreading sphere a big threat. but putin doesn't care because he stays in power.ip. so he believes he is russia and that is by the way not a definition of dictatorship. >> one chess question and this e comes from virginia texan via tweet. q "mr. kasparov, have you challenged ibm watson to a match? if not, do you plan to?" >> ibm watson doesn't play chess. and it's actually -- it's a great accomplishment and unlike deep blue it's a software project. deep blue was a hardware proj t project. so each was a tiny chess computer making about 1.5 million positions per second. and ibm succeeded in maximizing the output of this project't watson as far as i know doesn't play chess and i also don't plao chess. i retired ten years ago and i'm offering my advice to young players. i've been wor

let's move on to vladimir putin, you got that praise from vladimir putin this week. called it a great honor. you said you always felt fine about putin. how can you say you felt fine about vladimir putin when he backs our adversaries like bashar al assad and backs iran and he invades ukraine. >> i have been an extremely successful dealmaker. that's what i've done over years and i know people because deals are people. and i think i'll get along very well for the good of our country, for the good of our country, this is what i want, make america great again. i believe i'll get along fine with putin and i believe i'll get along fine with other leaders. obama doesn't get along with putin. putin can't stand our president, and it's causing us difficulty, and, frankly, and i said it a long time ago, if russia wants to bomb the hell out of isis and join us in that effort, i'm fine with that absolutely. i think that's an asset not a liability. so, if putin respects me and if putin wants me to call me brilliant and other things that he said which were, frankly, very nice, i'll

if putin is talking but, putin is not talking about the three of us tonight. he just isn't. >> world leader to world leader essentially. >> it does elevate him. >> but5 you do have serious policy differences, i mean if you look at the front running candidates whereas trump has said hey, i could sit down and talk with putin. rubio has been pretty clear that he believes we shouldn't have any coordination with the russians involving syria. let them bomb, let them go. there are real policy differences especially as what we are talking about how much we should be coordinating against isis, which is the threat i think americans care most about right now. >> i think it's actually good that there is some differences. it's easier to tell who is on first a little bit. it's when they are so close that it's harder. >> yeah. i actually agree with that i think it's healthy for the republican party to have this conversation. shows they have gotten beyond. remember, in 2008, the republicans all essentially had to tow the george bush line about how to handle terrorism because

he said it's wonderful for putin to be in syria because putin is fighting isis. well everyone now knows, not just on tv, that putin is not in syria to fight isis, he there's to back up aside and fight assad's other opponents including people who back, whom the turks back. and if you look at the way that putin deal with journalists, people who challenge him get assaulted. but if you suffer trumps antings patiently he'll love you. so this is someone easy to manipulate and putin was probably trained about that very well as a young kgb officer. >> oleg, do you think this is real, then? one would wonder why each guy would be attracted to complimenting each other? >> well putin is a smart guy. so his american guests, i believe they have something common in terms of their mind-sets. i may be wrong but that's my impression as i watch television and read the stuff. and probably they do like each other so it's a matter of taste. >> very interesting campaign season. thank you, gentlemen, happy holidays to you. >>> when we come back, the muslim teacher who says she lost her

i think it's horrible, but in all fairness to putin you're saying he killed people. i haven't seen that. now i, think it would be despicable if that took place but i haven't seen any evidence that he killed anybody in terms of reporters. >> 2012 republican nominee mitt romney is the one who made the distinction on twitter saying "thug putin kills journalists and opponents, our presidents kill terrorists and enemy combatants." one of other trump's rivals said over the weekend. >> donald trump seemed to be honored by the praise from vladimir putin. >> putin is a person who has killed, he's jailed and murdered journalists, political opponents. >> donald trump when mentioned those journalist kills he said i think our country does plenty of killing also. >> well that, i haven't heard him make that statement, if he did of course it's outrageous. i don't know of a single documented instance in which the president of the united states ordered the assassination of journalists who issue bad coverage of them or taken a different political line. >>> now to the fight between bush

vladimir putin. you called it a great honor. he backs our adversaries, like iran and he invades ukraine. >> i have been an extremely successful dealmaker. i know people, because deals are people. i think i'll get along for the good of our country, this is what i want -- make america great again -- i believe i'll get along fine with putin and other leaders. obama doesn't get along with putin. putin can't stand our president, and it's causing us difficulty, and frankly, and i said it a long time ago, if russia wants to bomb the hell out of isis and join us in that effort, i'm fine with that. liability. if putin respects me and if putin wants to call me brilliant and other things that he said that were frankly very nice, i'll accept that and i'll accept it on the behalf of our country. if we get along well with russia that's a positive thing not a negative thing. >> you want to get along well with putin, you seem to be alienating our allies. you said that angela merkel is ruining germany and here's what

the subject of vladimir putin came up. vladimir putin, who had some very nice words to say about donald trump the other day in russia. he was asked about them, said some interesting things himself on "morning joe." >> do you like vladimir putin's comments about you? >> sure. when people call you brilliant, that's always good, especially when the person heads up russia. >> yeah. >> well, i mean, also it's a person that kills journalists, political opponents and invades countries. obviously, that would be a concern, would it not? >> he's running his country, and at least he's a leader, unlike what we have in this country. >> but again, he kills journalists that don't agree with him. >> well, i think our country does plenty of killing also, joe, so you know. >> so, that comment about putin drawing a lot of eyre from leading republicans. mitt romney just minutes ago taking to twitter to say this -- i'll read from my phone here -- "important distinction -- thug putin kills journalists and opponents, our presidents kill terroris

well, first of all, i would say in my view putinism cannot survive putin. i hope putin can survive putinism. >> isn't this the eternal cycle of russian history? arbitrary centralized power followed by a time of troubles with nostalgia and then people forgetting the injustices of the arbitrary regime. this power is arbitrary, the institutions are undeveloped, and the cycle seems to keep repeating itself without end? >> okay. it can be seen as a vicious circle. i would look at federalism or lack of federalism. russia is huge country by its size, and it should be tyranny if not being federal state. so federalism is absent, and this is due to the fact that none of russian rulers, including present-day rulers, is eager to exercise federalism, especially those who came from paramilitary structures and for whom it's not imaginable that somebody or their subordinates could decide without their permission. i would like at what's going on with russian political regime now. not so much as can this or that person come into power, but as a very understandable and ration

that ultimately putin is a thug. neil: now, i think what he's trying to say or maybe putin is playing him or he's playing putin to be fair, they're both very good at this game, that they could deal with each other. they have a certain kind of respect for each other. things could get done. what do you make of that? it was the same logic used to advance ronald reagan extracting concessions from mikail gorbachev, what do you think? >> it's fine if you believe donald trump believes he can make deals with vladimir putin. see if that is the case. the reality is you got to know thine adversary, know thine enemy, trump has got to understand putin. putin is the majordomo of the middle east. moved into the vacuum as a result of absence of u.s. leadership under president obama and he is a force to be reckoned with. so trump better understand that if he's going to cut deals with him, otherwise he'll be taken to the cleaners. neil: if you are taking him to the cleaners, that is donald trump on business deals, wrote the art of the

listen to what trump said about putin. >> you know, fine about putin. i think that he is a strong leader. and a powerful leader. he's represented his country. that's the way the country's been represented. he's actually got popularity in his country. they respect him as a leader. >> is that the right take on putin? >> look, putin is smart. he recognized that the biggest gift he could get out of the election next november is donald trump ending up as president, the united states ending up with a president that really doesn't know how to be commander in chief and how to deal with these tough foreign policy issues and putin is just out there stirring the pot and having a good time. >> and is donald trump taking the bait? >> say that again, please? >> putin is stirring the pot but donald trump likes what he's saying. should he be responding so positively to vladomimir putin? >> all you have to do to get a positive response out of donald trump is stroke his ego. >> governor sununu, thank you very much. >> thank you. have a great weekend. >>> a young man on p

putin. >> he is the world's sexist man. >> what do they know about history. bernard and mcguirk have some thoughts. >> we already have the nation of dunces. we have the inalienable right to be stupid. >> that and more. some of the best moments this year. >> keep it down, keep it down. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ >>> hi, i'm bill o'reilly, thanks for watching us. tonight this very special edition of the factor, the miller meets gutfeld and mcguirk edition. boy, you have got to hide the kids on this one because for the next hour we will bring you the best from the boys from the past year. we begin with the d man. >> dominican republic, miller. there was a volvo exposition. i want to roll the tape on this. and this is a self-parking volvo, bang. [ laughter ] it didn't really work. and the two guys who got whacked are journalists and i say bernie goldberg might have been hiding in the trunk there. >> well, let me say. this i think it

his new friend vladmir putin. the almost endorsement. putin says that donald trump seems like a, you know, a big leader a big guy in the a campaign. and donald trump said that's okay. let's listen to what trump said yesterday. >> they're accusing me putin called him brilliant. that's not good. well, you know, isn't it sort of nice if countries are always fighting with maybe we get along and let them do -- right? look, we're all tough guys but wouldn't it be nice if russia and us could knock out an enemy together and not us bear the full costs sometimes, like, i don't know we're always fighting. >> we all predicted the putin forming the alliance that win the election. naturally. if you look over the republican party it's not necessarily a rarity for them to talk about putin's strength. to want almost putin's strength as they criticize barack obama. when you look at the field and what look at putin's russia has done historically and over the last couple of years in ukraine and syria. it's jarring almost to accept the compliment and say it'

putin called him bright and talented. in response, kasich set up a website and released a spoof, make tyranny great again. trump took on critics this afternoon in iowa and went so far as to say the republicans bashing him about putin are simply quote, where she will louse at hell. >> if putin likes me and thinks i'm a good, smart person, which i hope he believes, i am, actually hooerks right, i am brilliant, you know that, right? but you know what? if he says something positive, that's a good thing. not a bad thing. >> the other big thing this week has been between ted cruz and rubio. ever since the debate, they've been going at it on immigration, but today, cruz had campaign a events in ga and alabama. rubio was in south carolina and both took a more conciliatory tone. the rest of the republican field, christie and bush were in new hampshire. carson was in iowa and carson's campaign has to be hoping for some kind of christmas miracle because according to this fox news poll, he's dropped nine points in just one month. >>

, his new best friend, vladimir putin, praising him, putin praising trump. what is going on there? >> i wish i knew. here's a guy who is praising the leader of a country that annexed crimea, that allegedly has made journalists an endangered species in his own country, continues to threaten ukraine. this is somebody because of russia, because of very interests and because of our historic tensions, the leader of russia is somebody historically american leaders have looked on with curcumspection at best. the idea that donald trump would wholly embrace somebody with a checkered record and as problematic as putin, i would think under normal circumstances would make him somewhat not illegitimate but certainly he has been talking about putin this way for months now and it's done nothing to his standing and it should. >> here's a little bit of donald trump calling in to "morning joe" today. >> when people call you brilliant it's always good, especially when the person heads up russia. i can also see russia being a big asset to our country and i really think that's t

. >> did putin go up and say, you and putin are going to be close. did putin go up to your office and did you guys bond or anything this week? he's in town. >> no, i didn't know anything about him coming to my office. but i will tell you i think in terms of leadership, he's getting an "a" and our president is not doing so well. they did not look good together. >> so, let's talk about this with ron brownstein, cnn's senior political analyst and editorial director for the national journal. welcome. >> good morning. >> so, putin's comments are interesting in light of the fact that many republicans admire putin's toughness. do putin's comments matter? >> well, first of all, there's really no one in the american political context anywhere on the spectrum who is comparable to putin. he's a reexpressive autocrat, who jails his opponents, who violates private companies. look, you know, i think it's not necessarily an endorsement you would want. but where there are similarities, they are probably stylistic and thematic. putin, like trump, kind of advances the

putin called him brilliant. that's not good. we, isn't this sort of nice, countries we're always fighting with, maybe we get along and let them do -- right? i mean, look, you know, we're all tough guys, but wouldn't it be nice if, like, russia and us could knock out an enemy together, not us bear the full cost sometimes? like, you know, we're all fighting but i've had some guys say, oh, russia. how about one of the people up in the -- i wouldn't talk to them, i wouldn't discussi anything. what do they want to do, they want to have a world war iii. >> trump went on to say they're jealous as hell because he's not mentioning them, vladimir putin is not mentioning them. the other republicans are very jealous. adding that russia and the united states could have a mutually benefiting relationship. but of course all of this cuts really against what the main republican foreign policy line has been for the last eight years or so. republicans have spent their time vilifying vladimir putin. you have marco rubio calling him a gangster and a

putin called the republican presidential candidate bright and talented. trump told "fox news" he was honored by his statements. >>> well, just in time for their christmas card, duke and duchess of cambridge release aid new family photo. prince william his wife kate and two children prince george and princess charlotte, the royal family of four were all smiles for the holiday snap which was taken in the guard events of the kensington palace back in october. >>> earlier in our newscast we told but how star wars, the force awakens is shattering, box office records. >> but is the force too upsetting for children? the insider's louie now joins us from los angeles with that, louie. >> reporter: ukee and jessica, this new saga celebrates diversity and female empowerment but it has death and violence. so what is a parent to do. our debbie a sat down with the panel of experts to discuss, here's the insider's guide to star wars the the force awakens. >> so, i take it that all of you liked it as much as i did. >> yes. >> the the force has awoke even, ladies. >> yes.

i think charlie rose went to moscow on putin's territory and charlie rose said to putin, and putin is sitting here like this, kind of tearing him to tread into parrot tory. charlie rose said you were in the kgb and there's a saying once in the kgb, always in the kgb. putin said not a single base or stage of our life passes without leaving a trace. whoa, this guy is really well prepared and that's true. not a single stage or phase. the rage he expresses in some of these scenes, it's beyond the tapes. these were things that were not on tape about -- it received when he was in new york and none of the slb's would invite him to their country club. it's almost the lament of no one asked me to the prom. and he's just on fire about it. and so, i think it's true. do you think it's true? you spent so many years reporting. not a stage of our life passes without leaving a trace. >> some of it is getting at those traces. >> no one should go into the voting booth next year. and be able to say journalism did not lease provide me with the basics and trace it as best he can. as i say there's a ceilin

how are you going to deal with president putin? is arump: ok, putin -- it fair question. putin cannot stand obama, like a lot of people. what else is new? recently, i was on "60 minutes." they interviewed putin separately, they interviewed me. , i feel he is my staplemate. when he started bombing, i said let him bomb. the problem our country has, we don't even know who we are fighting. we want to fight assad, a bad guy, but we want to fight assad with rebels that we do not even know. but if we fight assad, we are fighting other countries. assad is bad, but the rebels could be isis. we have no idea. a general told me, we have no idea who they are. we want to give them billions and billions. let's say they take over syria. we do not know -- it is going to be turmoil. we have got to fight isis. and i love that russia is dropping bombs all over isis. i love it. i love it. ok? [cheers & applause] i mean we have a president, he , doesn't even know who to fight. how about this? two weeks ago, he says we are sending 50 men and maybe women. i am surprised he is not more specific.

i want to reflect on putin and his position. we've got mr. putin speaking in st. george's hall this morning. let me read you one or two of this. he says that terrorists are using money from turkey, that turkey is making money from syrian oil, that the single front against terrorism should be under the u.n. when you look at the situation between putin and erdogan, somebody here needs to blink, michael. to get this situation off what is an incredibly dangerous boil. give me your take. >> first of all, putin and erdogan, the situation has worsened ever since that plane has been shot down last week. putin is soeasons harsh on turkey at the moment. on the other hand, erdogan should really know the situation , that he cannot on one hand subsidize i.s., on the other hand, be a helper in the crisis, and get money from europe. this is something which has to be discussed with erdogan. i'm not very happy with putin anyway. he is subsidizing assad and assad is another part of the problem in syria. it is a difficult situation. , inpe the european leaders particular by chancell

now he's praising putin. he's praising putin who is an enemy of the united states. who has repressed the russian people and is acting in their own national interests against the interests of the united states. this is not a serious man. >> sunlen serfaty is live where donald trump is going to be on the stage. jeb bush, marco rubio, chris christie all in new hampshire tonight. donald trump is in michigan. interesting choice. how well is he doing in new hampshire? >> reporter: well, it's interesting, erin, donald trump has been very careful to say that he has any state locked up. the latest cnn/orc poll out of new hampshire showing that donald trump is 18 points ahead of any other candidate. marco rubio is the closest opponent behind him in the second spot. donald trump will hit new hampshire and iowa after a brief pause over the christmas holiday. but interesting and something we'll likely hear more from in the final weeks before the iowa caucus. donald trump has been pleading and urging with voters that they have to turn out to vote. that's a big sign that the trump

is putin. he does not need to be the president or prime minister he can keep in power by himself. what is important i think is the country is coming to new election and new electoral cycle which should be held next september. i would wait almost immediately after this election so he could explain why election are early to address the nation and for putin to address the nation and declare the new scores because the elite understood that china cannot replace the west. in terms of money, in terms of keeping to the russian economy and he reserves to keep the course without credible changes coming to the end. thank you. [applause]. >> thank you. i think we can go ahead and open up discussion to members of the audience. to have microphones? identify yourself if you have a comment or question we can bring you a microphone. >> please identify yourself. >> i work for u.s. a id for five years. i certainly certainly have an interest in that situation. i was intrigued about your same that the general head

. >>> putin raises trump. does trump raise putin? what's next, breakfast in prague? is it too much to ask social media outlets to help fight terror? the answer is no. or yes. frankly, i'm very confused. let's get started, america. we've got a couple of truthies. let's welcome tonight's guests. my favorite, aside from gretchen, tucker carlson. nice hair. she's a democratic pollster and strategist, but we like her anyway, jessica karloff. co-founder and chairman of counterextremism organization. spent a lot of time of prison, egyptian prison. the co-author of islam. probably still drunk from last night, joining us, joann. national review reporter, catherine. to the monologue, everybody. before the republican debaters were tucked into their beds, the media already had their angle. what's with all this isis crap? >> we need to quit arming the -- >> destroy isis. >> destroy isis. >> isis. >> isis. >> isis. >> isis. >> the war against isis. >> if you drank every time you heard isis, you would be more pickled than lindsay graham at a benihana happy hour. shall if one of the

>> putin is an autocrat. he believes the best russia is the russia that he leads and there's no evidence he's thinking about leaf leaving his job. he is now and i know this is not accepted by western experts. i think putin's political position now is weak. it's more vulnerable now than it has been in quite a few years. his move into syria is not going the way he anticipated it would. in crimea there is enormous economic unhappiness, and the 68% or 70% of the people there who are russian are being increasingly unhappy about the state of economic affairs and political affairs. in ukraine itself it is a total, unmitigated mess. there is no logical way right now for the russians to leave except to be humiliated once again, and certainly he won't do that. >> what is it that western leaders don't understand about vladimir putin? >> most of all, that putin is in a long line of russian leaders one at another placing the interests of russia as they see them ahead of the interests of everything else around the world. s

>> you know, you said there's some fans of vladimir putin out there. donald trump is one of them, and he has been a fan of vladimir putin before this. let's listen to trump. >> i would get along with putin. i've dealt with russia. i think i would get along with him fine. i think in terms of leadership, he's getten an a and our president is not doing so well. they did not look good together. >> he does not like obama at all. he didn't respect obama at all. and i'm sure that obama doesn't like him very much. but i think that i would probably get along with him very well and i don't think we would be having the kind of problems we're having right now. >> so there's front-runner for the republican presidential nomination giving vladimir putin an "a" for invading ukraine and an "a" for propping up the assad regime is and an "a" for all sorts of other things that vladimir putin is doing around the world. >> this is a troep that's not limited to donald trump. you hear from a lot of republicans how basically obama is weak and his weakness is perceived by forei

putin backs syrian president bashar al assad. the u.s. wants assad out of power. >>> 40% tell nbc news wall street journal poll that terror and national security are the government's top priority. seven in ten say random attacks like the ones in paris and san bernardino are part now of a -- life. yesterday president obama spoke of military gains against the isis terror threat. >> since this summer isol has not had a single successful major offensive operation on the ground in either syria or iraq. >> while president obama's approval rating is down 2 points, it is 43%. it is his lowest standing in more than a year. >>> sergeant bowe bergdahl was freed from captivity by the taliban. now he could be headed to life in prison. the army will hold a general court martial. that's where bergdahl will stand trial for desertion. in 2009 he walked away from his base in afghanistan. the taliban then took him prisoner. bergdahl's colleagues say six people died because of his actions. >>> in west chester governor cuomo plans to protect people from a shu

do you think -- if putin can say -- could that change the u.s. attitude about linking russia -- i'm sorry -- the ukraine and syria can change and perhaps we have a new -- >> i think that certainly the fear of most ukrainians. there's really a great fear amongst all the ukrainian people to the ukrainian leadership they'll be forgotten in this and at the end of the day be given up as a kind of, well, putin played nice on syria so we'll let him have ukraine, a questions on the fact that crime -- acquiesce on the fact that crimea is now officially russian and perhaps phrase the conflict in the east. that's the ukrainian's very, very great fear. they had a lot of other obstacles to get over, but as jeff mentioned, you're now starting to see a little bit of a breakdownqn!ramongst the europeans, and unity on sanctions and there's certainly, i think, that very strong possibility. you can see the ukrainians trying to do everything in their power to prevent that because that's really their greatest fear, is that they'll lose the sovereignty, lose the abili

i think that's putin. okay. we got putin. two of us got putin right. it's getting very tricky. anyway, the round table is staying with us and they're going to tell us, all three of them, tell me something i don't know. that's coming up. but a few might shape the future. like turning algae into biofuel... ...new technology for capturing co2 emissions... ...and cars twice as efficient as the average car today. ideas exxonmobil scientists are working on to make energy go further... ...no matter how many tries it takes. energy lives here. when a moment spontaneously turns romantic, why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use, is the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right. plus cialis treats the frustrating urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an un
