intervention in some private affairs, obviously we will talk about the taiwan call. but i think that is mideast strike to go me in all of this, how much we are going to call the show the trump way. because he's doing everything differently. he's acting like the president already and to some degree it seems like he's more relevant to what's going on in the country than barack obama is and i want to get a sense of him of why he's doing it and the degree to which he will continue to break the mold once he actually formally raises his hand and takes the oath of office and becomes president. this is different, i've been covering presidential transitions since 1980 and i have never seen anything like these last months plus and i just got to assume it's going to continue for the next four years or potentially eight years and i want to get a sense of his thinking about it. bill: great stuff. is joe biden going to that game, is barack obama going? >> i think the president is. i don't know about joe biden. i will tell you as far as most peop are going to be concerned, i suspect they're go

democrats were very alarmed by trump's accepting this phone call from the president of taiwan based on the not invalid argument that china is a nuclear armed power and a formidable threat and we should be careful about producing unnecessary confrontation, when i agree with. the same is true of russia. to sit here and sort of suggest that vladimir putin lurks behind every american problem to concoct these wild elaborate conspiracy theories to try to convince americans that russia is this grave threat to the united states. we all have to stand up, i think it's incredibly dangerous not just because it creates a toxic environment domestically but because it's very dangerous and put us on a pot of almost unintentional confrontation with a country ha can do a lot of damage. >> that's the way it seems to me. i don't think you and i have ever voted for the same person. niles to hear you say that because it sounds less crazy. thanks for joining us. i appreciate it. >> great to be with you, tucker. ♪ ♪ >> now it's time for twitter storm. our nightly forecast of social media's most powerful w

currency -- president-elect trump took a phone call from the taiwan president. terry branstad has a close friendship with china's president going back decades. jordan chang is the author of the book, the coming collapse of china. what are we to make of this? >> the important thing is this was as act of war, piracy. china has a very extensive claim to 85% of the south china sea. the chinese took this outside of this nine-dash area. it's clearly international water. the chinas now what they -- doing because the u.s. navy told them to stop and beijing is trying to lower the temperature but that is what aggressor does when they committed some belligerent act. i think donald trump is on the right side of saying, let's keep the temperature high. >> bit donald trump is saying keep our drone. the chinese are setten it back, is twitter the right place? >> norm. normally you have one president at a time but unfortunately president obama in the friday press conference didn't talk about that and didn't answer the question of already racist issue. so someone needs to deal with and it twitter is

president-elect accepting a call from the president of taiwan, breaking decades of protocol under which we officially recognize china. we have an unofficial relationship with taiwan. and just a couple of the headlines, erin. politico, bull in a china shop. it's newsworthy, but does it deserve this level of craziness? >> one thing is for certain. the american people are going to tire of the word unprecedented very, very soon. that's for sure. you know, i would point you to early 2009, about the 100-day mark into president obama's presidency when he met the venezuelan leader, hugo chavez, and there was a freak out over that. there is always a learning curve. the press is going to score it as such, and the opposition party is certainly going to bring attention to it. >> the problem is everything the same. their amp goes up to 11 on everything. when he went to dinner without the protective pool, the coverage was the same as him talking to the president of taiwan. >> we only have one volume. our volume knob is broken, i think you're saying. look, trump using his twitter weapon, i guess we ca

could dramatically alter u.s.-china relations. his acceptance of a phone call from the leader of taiwan sent shutters through diplomatic channels from washington to beijing, who have agreed on a one china policy. even president obama has acknowledged a fresh set of eyes on u.s.-china relations could be beneficial for both countries. >> america benefits from some new perspectives. and i think it should be not just a prerogative but the obligation of a new president, examine everything that's been done and see what makes sense and what doesn't. >> reporter: what doesn't make sense say analysts is business as usual. from hacking u.s. infrastructure to china's unabated aggression in the south china sea to the nearly $300 billion annual u.s. trade deficit. >> the consequences is a very big deal. president-elect trump i think is going to make sure there are consequences when we have these incidents in the future. >> reporter: administration officials tell us that the return of the drone could come as soon as tuesday at a yet to be determined location in the south china sea. though a destroyer

taiwan for the first time. a few days later is when the taiwan president called president trump to congratulate him on his election. >> lucas, great reporting. thank you, sir. >>> as 2016 winds down, we reach a very sad milestone. the number of migrant deaths in the mediterranean has surpassed 5,000. around 100 people feared drowned on thursday as the italian coast guard continued recovery operations. they're asking for reform of policies to stop this migration across dangerous seas. so far 360,000 have made it across the sea this year alone. >>> the soob-to-be first family made waves when mel layne yeah trump said she wouldn't be moving into the white house right away and ivanka would take up some traditional first lady duties. we'll explain why this first lady dynamic is not a new phenomenon in the white house. plus, this is a perfect job for elizabeth prann. italian officials make sure the wine you drink is up to snuff. i don't know anything more about this story, but i want to see it. this is great. oh, that's lovely... so graceful. the corkscrew spin, flawless... ...his signat

some people a little off guard, much like his phone call with the president of taiwan did. how valuable is that? >> look, one of the things i have heard from the people i talked to up at the trump team, they are functioning more like they are in charge already. because president obama just isn't doing anything. and that is the sad truth. i mean, look, the fact is this, president obama reluctantly has been doing nothing to be involved in this. so i think what we have to look at here -- >> they have to know, you know -- they are having a little fun along the way, which is why they took the drone. >> that's right. i think, look, the chinese are possibly going to give it back and should. this was seized in international water. we had the right to be there and had the right to do peaceful recognizance and to study whatever is happening there. and i think mr. trump has to do and say what you're going to make the chinese look at what the situation is. >> that said, the concern, the fear out there is that donald trump could get reckless and maybe he says something or tweets something that gets

. >> let's start with the controversy over the call that mr. trump took this week from taiwan's president, the first-time tleaders of the two countries haveok spoken since u. broke off relations in 1979. you say mr. trump was fully briefed and knew what he was doing beforeoe the call. does he intend to change our one china policy which recognizes only w beijing. >> president-elect trump accepted the congradualatory call. that is theld 40th or 50th worl leader who reached out since they won the election last month. they spoke to israel, singapore, japan, china. >> this is different. does thisic signal a change in policy or was it just a phone call? >> it was just a phone call at this point. it signals the fact that he accepted ay call. i know that china has a perspective on it. the white house and state department probably have a perspective on it and certainly taiwan has an perspective on it the president-elect's perspective is he accepted the call. when he is sworn in as president andes commander in chief in a little over a month he will make clear what the plans are. people shouldn't re

to grab u.s. assets. >> chinese senning planes around taiwan. and you have the evidence now that we have very big military installations on disputed islands that china built up. and i want our viewers to know the drone was taken 40 miles off of the coast of the philippine and the president there said we don't need you and prepare to leave the philippine and we have had a presence in philippines for many, many years. we are right on the eve of a transition of government? >> this is the chinese sending a message to the president-elect that they are willing to it act and the question is whether he will back up. it is a test of the u.s. political system in general. there are so many things happening in the south china sea that means that china is testing the international system in general. these are points in history that are inflection points and they see our reactions and they don't believe we are firm in defending our principle and friends and allies, the situation will get worse. with the philippines, he is genuinely anti- america and most filipinos support the united states and so

him to lean perhaps one direction or the other with the phone call with taiwan. i realize there is a process that has to happen before that person becomes secretary of state. but i would imagine if he would winnow the field down to one, it would give, i don't know, direction for those phone calls that come in? >> well, look, i can safely say i had nothing to do with the decision to make that call although i support it. i have written about the relationship between taiwan and china over 20 years. something i followed very carefully. i'm convinced they made the decision to accept the call or to schedule the call from taiwanese president veryably abe implications were. i don't think it is as big of a deal as some people think. i think it's a signal but it's a large subject. we'll see other indications that donald trump will not follow the policies of the past eight years or maybe longer. that is why we have elections. harris: we'll get into that more i was more to the point whether it is already have somebody in mind for secretary of state? sandra: to time being, our co-host meghan mc
