president obama's. we saw him taking the phone call from the president of taiwan, right? he already signaled a drastic change in the way we engage with the world. as we saw with the u.n. resolution just now with president-elect trump saying to benjamin netanyahu, look we have israel's back. i would not do this. forcing egypt to stand down as well. this is just another example of the dysfunctional and dangerous policies of president obama when it comes to foreign policy. those policies as dagen pointed out earlier of helping a country like iran who wants to bring death and destruction to israel. he says there will be no israel in the next 25 years. kennedy: i want to bring eboni in. we're running out of time. you were just in israel. is it possible to share jerusalem? is that possible? >> possible, sure in theoretical sense, from what i saw on the ground i don't see it happening. i think we get much more practical. we heard a speech about theory and what ifs. it will not happen that way. i want to say this you might not think president obama is the best friend israel ever had but gav

chinese media blasting our president elect calling him a child calling out his call to taiwan. the white house says russia should apologize to china. >> the united states government has been and remains firmly committed to our policy. the obama administration does not view taiwan in our relationship with taiwan a bargaining chip. >> mr. trump says he doesn't feel p bound by the one china policy. >> president obama refusing to put the word christmas on the christmas card for an 8th year in a row. it's a stark contrast president elect trump has in mind. >> merry christmas. we are going to start saying merry christmas again. >> this year's card features a picture of the obamas and says happy holidays. the president's position to stay pc sparking serious outrage. >> in a cross on top of one town's christmas tree is no more. they took it down after one complaint, just one complaint sparked a lawsuit by the aclu. it violated the first amendment and caused him irreparable harm every time he looked at it. they could not win a court case. outraged residents handing out wooden crosses all over tow

trump. mr. trump tweeting he spoke friday on the phone with the president of taiwan. the u.s. broke off diplomatic ties with the self-governing island in 1979, choosing instead to solely recognize the chinese government in beijing. mr. trump says the president offered him a congratulations on winning the election and looked forward to a future between the two countries. china's foreign minister says he hopes this will not damage relations between the u.s. and china. >>> in tennessee, 13 people are now confirmed dead in a string of wildfires. more than 1,000 homes and businesses were burned. one man is still desperately trying to find his wife and two young daughters. he hasn't heard from them since the fire started. >> i told her to call 911, and that was the last time i talked to her. we snuck back into gatlinburg and went to the other shelter in gatlinburg and said she wasn't there. i called the other shelters here. they said she isn't there. i'm just hoping for a miracle. >>> oil prices rallying for their best week in five years. a decision by opec to cut crude production pushing

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

: i loved the taiwan call, as we talked about on the show with the taiwanese president, and i love that donald trump is shaking things up because i don't think we should be beholden to the geopolitical bullying of china for a long time. that being said, this guy, peter navarro, this could have real ramifications for our trade deals -- gillian: that's right. meghan: buying a tv could exponentially rise in cost, just evidence things. so i have a -- everyday things. i have a lot of questions, and i think the american public -- harris: so here's the overarching question: are you willing to take a risk on something fresh and few that you can't necessarily categorize to and see how it plays out -- meghan: i'm going to take a risk, but i've also never been one of these people under the illusion that we can somehow stop the technological revolution that a lot of these manufacturing jobs can come back. technology has progressed on, so if it means sort of denying that fact and having ramifications on the average american's bottom line, yeah, i'm going to have a problem with that. kennedy: as

beijing when he took a phone call from taiwan's president. he's also used twitter to criticize china's trade policies. european leaders say they are concerned about the praise of vladimir putin and the former kgb agents en route to become the richest man on the planet. let's turn to james free man, editor of the "wall street journal." what do you think? does he change a lot? who changes when you're 70? >> well, it's a change for all of us, more informal style. i like the call to taiwan. i thought that was good where he wasn't necessarily listening to the state department bureaucracy. it's a more informal style after a call to the president or prime minister of pakistan, said he was a terrific guy and it was a fantastic country. but in that case, probably made some people in pakistan happy. so it's going to be a different approach but china specifically, i think he does need to make clear that we can sail in international waters, that our navy can't operate in the south china sea. >> your paper has not gone easy on him and he's made note of that. his china policies that we don't know wh

way we are, for example, with taiwan and china. time to rethink our devotion, slavish devotion, to an institution that devotes itself to attacking an ally and to undermining american interests. >> and a.b., this points out what charles just said, presumed power of donald trump to change this. we cannot undo this resolution, i don't think we can. does he have power to do that with the sheer power of his influence? >> as charles points out, the power is to swing influence and opinion against the u.n. that's building in the congress and that seems to have resonance. the problem is that we don't know what obama still has left to do, so as you see the israelis try to collect this evidence they're going to show to trump to prove that obama both produced and provoked this resolution, this is going to be an ongoing story as we have -- one president at a time, but it's a story that trump will relish being involved in. again, it's not that he can undo it and get a result, but it is definitely a threat to the u.n. over the long term. >> matt? >> doug, why do you want to be our friend? why would

just that, beginning with the call he had last week with the leader of taiwan. ed henry joins us live from washington with a story that could get big. >> that's right. critics tried to play this as a clumsy break in diplomatic currency. instead it could be another case of mr. trump's critics underestimating. this was a deliberate move to stand up for democracy in asia while also getting tough on china was rattling the saber against taiwan before the phone call. fox news learning on november 26th, a week before the phone call, china sent two nuclear capable bombers to circle taiwan for the first time. the president-elect as you noted took to twitter, tweeting, did china ask us if it was okay to devalue their currency making it hard for our companies to compete, heavily tax products coming into their country or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the south china sea? i don't think so. white house spokesman josh earnest warninearn est warns. after mr. trump broke the rules of presidential campaigning he's upending. this one early lesson is to not overreact to every break

has been put in the spotlight. mr. trump received a phone call yesterday from the taiwan leader. it was the first kind of call of its kind in decades between leaders of both countries, and china filed a formal complaint and was very upset. you will also remember earlier this week he received two other phone calls, one from the philippines president, rodrigo duterte and from the pakistan president sharif. and all those phone calls raised eyebrows, frankly, from critics. this morning on fox news sunday kellyanne conway said people need to stop taking that taiwan call so seriously, as well as other ones. listen. >> does this 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 a congratulatory call. let's give this man time to form his cabinet and he's also showing respect to the current president, president obama, who still is the president for about 6 1/2 more weeks and the commander in chief certainly. he's not out there -- p president-elect trump is not out there making policy. he's merely taking phon

gypping after his phone call with taiwan's president. we will take a look at what mr. trump's action could mean for future relations with china jon: right now crime story. police in tennessee found the remains of indiana woman who vanished while trying to get away from her allegedly abusive husband. her husband jarvis madison was arrested. no charges have been filed. california mom who disappeared for three weeks before she was found beaten and bloody on a highway has left her home with husband and children. sherri are staying with family elsewhere and probably won't be coming back. jury selection in the murder for hire case, defense attorneys in florida has garnered so much media attention. the judge says the move is premature. >> i can confirm that u.s. officials including senior officials have been in touch with chinese counterparts to reiterate our country's continued commitment to a one-china policy. the adherence to and commitment to policy has advanced the ability of the united states to make progress in our relationship with china and, of course, benefited the people of taiwa

were talking about china and taiwan. >> something he knows something about. >> shows his expertise and we learn overnight that he is being considered for secretary of state. >> abby. >> i mean, here's what i will tell you because we were talking about this yesterday and i think this is arguably one of the most important positions for this cabinet. a huge job especially in the times we're in right now. they're looking for someone who can get through senate confirmation and he has been governor of utah and looking for someone who can be loyal to mr. trump and maybe, most importantly, the best person to do that job. i think my dad's fantastic. this is all i can tell you this morning. we will leave it there. >> that's good you're supporting your dad. >> i would be in big trouble if i came out publicly saying -- >> what you have to have from secretary of state very little daylight. with what he's facing in the world, they have to be in lock step. >> we don't talk about china much in the show, but going forward we will talk about more. you need someone in that role that understands what

reminding the u.s. government of its view that beijing, not the independent democratic nation of taiwan, is the only government of can giant. first beijing's reaction. what are they saying about this pretty historic phone call? >> good evening. well if you want to get china mad and you are the united states, put in a phone call to taiwan or cozy up to taiwan and that is exactly what critics and others are looking at here with the phone call from trump. not since 1979 has the president or president elect made a call or had any contact with the leader of taiwan. china believes taiwan is a territory of theirs. taiwan believes they are a sovereign nation. today china's government filed a formal complaint saying we urge the u.s. to abide to the commitment of the one china policy and to handle issues with caution and care to avoid unnecessarily interfering with a overall situation of china-u.s. relations. the trump transition team said tsai innicalled. but this phone call is being played up in taiwan that the u.s. may boost its support of a free and sovereign taiwan. they said the two spoke r

taiwan is ruffling some feathers with the government in beijing. china now issuing stern complaints to the u.s. over a phone call between mr. trump and taiwan's leader. now the diplomatic break is the first of its kind since the u.s. broke off its ties with tie won back in 1979. so what is going on? brian is live in new york city. >> reporter: forget trade, when it comes to china-u.s. relations, the most sensitive topic is taiwan. china believes that taiwan is part of their country and taiwan believes they're a sovereign nation. so as you can imagine, the first phone call between a president-elect and a taiwan leader since 1979. china issuing a formal complaint today in part saying we urge the relative parties to the u.s. to abide to the commitment to the one china policy and to handle taiwan issues with caution and care to avoid unnecessarily interfering with the overall situation of china-u.n. relations. taiwanese leader called to offer her congratulations and the issue here is that taiwan is playing up this phone call as a potential major signal that the u.s. may kboboost the sup

. your successor spoke with phone with the president of taiwan today and declared subsequently he wasn't sure why the united states needed to be bound by the one china policy. he suggested it could be used as bargaining chip perhaps to get better terms on trade deal or more cooperation with north korea. there's already evidence that tensions between the two side have increased and today the chinese have seized an underwater drone in the south china sea. do you agree as some do that our china policy could use a fresh set of eyes and what's the big deal about have ago short phone call with the president of taiwan, or do you worry that these types of up orthodoxes approaches are setting us on a political course with our adversary? >> great question. i'm somewhere in between. i think all of our foreign policy should be subject to fresh eyes. i think one of the -- i've said this before -- i'm very proud of the work i've done. i think i'm a better president now than when i started. but if you're hear for eight years in the bubble, you start seeing things a certain way and you benefit fr

a position of strength after your adversaries react to you. he did that with the taiwan call. did he that with the wall along the mexican border. he did that with the muslim ban and i think it's been effective. >> he wants mica safe, drinking her coffee in the morning. where she doesn't have to worry about things. having a leader like that is going to make her more safe, not less safe. >> that's true. a lot of people don't know this but president obama has already signed off on a $1 trillion nuclear modernization program. >> um. >>um that's a lot of dough. president obama doesn't like to spend a lot of money on the military. is he already upping the an an ante to a thrill. he has already reduced our nuclear war head capabilities than a president in the lacy three or four terms. so when donald trump comes out and says he wants to modernize, everybody goes crazy, but, obama already trying to do it and it's already on the table. >> you remember that 60 minutes piece maybe a year and a half ago where we have got 1960's reporter phones in missile silos. we have got to fix this problem.

dignity. >> reporter: mr. trump accept aid phone call from taiwan, anger rg china. he has threatened china over its trade and economic policies. while the president-elect called for congress to increase spending on the u.s. military, he also declared on twitter that the country must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability. then president-elect trump interfered with an obama administration vote on a u.n. security council resolution criticizing israel. trump urged the u.s. to vote against it. and israel enlisted the trump transition team to pressure the resolution supporters to drop the egyptian sponsored measure. >> the president-elect is looking beyond that. speaking with egypt's president regarding negotiations on a middle east peace process, president obama finishing his term while the president-elect donald trump looks forward to his is an explicit demonstration to the world at how much u.s. policy has changed because of this election. >> rich edson from the state department, thank you. >>> the fbi and homeland security department are warning law enforcement officials
