-- ordinary americans are in peril because of things on the internet weponized and isis, north korea, iran that we ought to worry about and he's not, do you think that -- but this whole wartime idea that civilians can be targeted by over foreign terrorists because of the internet, that could bring to shutting down user content as well as the fake news thing and look at what just happened, what happened down the street to the pizza shop was certainly liable by the way and the communication , what do you think is going to happen? i'm an independent blogger myself and trump advertises on my blog all of the time, hillary never did. i'm a gay libertarian somewhat conservative libertarian, gay man, some of my stuff is okay but what do you think of this? >> well, i would start by saying that i think we are seeing media lawyers, journalism leaders, groups and first amendment advocacy groups rallying right now and preparing for a difficult climate that may or may not come to pass. what trump had said in the camp -- campaign said on the administration, we don't know. i think i'm slightly reassured t

lows, record stockpiles, supply outweighing demand and iran back online. something just had to give, and it did. on november 30, opec agreed to the first production cut in eight years. bloomberg dan has more from singapore. dan: going into this meeting, the real differences were between saudi arabia iraq, and , iran. in the weeks leading up to the meeting, iraq and iran argued they should be exempt many production tax, iraq because it needed the money to fight isis, iran was lifting production from pre-sanction levels. what happened when you got into the meeting was that iran finally agreed to be a part of this. it actually had the second highest production cuts after saudi arabia, and the two of them accounted for more than half of the group's total cuts. that leaves wiggle room for iran, instead of now trying to push all their oil production up to the pre-sanction limits will only have a limit of 90,000 or so barrels. everybody gave a little and took a little. once those three were in line, they were a bit -- able to bring everybody else in and get behind this 1.2 million barrels

u.s. but not anymore. the beginning of the end was the horrible iran deal and now this the u.n. stay strong, israel, january 20th is fast approaching. >> well, i think that underscores what happened in the u.n. from once was a u.n. instigated thing but a u.s. instigated thing. barack obama had it in for israel from the beginning. now that he's gone out of office, he is letting him vent. john kerry goes along with what he is fed by the state bureaucracy which leaves in the two-state solution. gaza got withdrawal of israeli settlements a decade ago. it's a haven of warfare and missiles. i'm going to be blunt here, anti-settlement means jew free. we should not tolerate that anywhere in the world. >> well, frankly, bruce, what happened in 2005 when israel pulled out of gaza, they pulled all their settlements out of gaza, what happened? hamas came in and began lobbing missiles right into israel. >> well, this idea that president obama doesn't support israel is ridiculous. he signed a -- there's the funding to defend them as ten years a u.s. tax dollars what is it $38 billion the united st

clashed over differences on settlement building and the iran nuclear deal. retired four-star general jack keane is the chair of the institute for the study of war and a fox news military analyst. general, good to see you again. thanks for coming. >> glad to be here, paul. >> let's talk first about the russian sanctions this week that president obama put on russia for the hacking. do you have any doubt that russian intelligence was behind those hacks on democratic national committee? >> oh, absolutely none. no doubt whatsoever that russian intelligence was involved and no doubt whatsoever that vladimir putin authorized those attacks, much as he has done, paul, in many of the elections in eastern europe and the sources from mi-5 in england indicate that he was involved in the brexit vote. this is a pattern of behavior and it's all done to undermine democracies and weaken the transatlantic alliance the united states has with europe. >> the obama administration has now put on sanctions. are they enough, you think, to both punish those actions and serve as a deterrent going forward? >> no

russian president made clear that iran should be exempt from an agreement until it reaches the pre-section they pre-sanctionp level. oilpec managing the global market. big change and the oil market is adjusting. >> getting underway in a stempel today. evendering freezing or cutting. >> the brazilian opec supply has been a real headache. the past, when opec has been effective, it is because of saudi arabia. do they still have the wherewithal and power and influence to drive a deal? >> opec does reach an agreement, that would take it to 32.5 billion barrels a day. that was the agreement. cutting,e that is not and ran not only cutting. all this time these prices. certainly, the independent producers are some of the biggest. backdrop of an uncertain future, the kingdom of saudi arabia began a sweeping transformation of its economy with programs and reforms called vision 2030. the ultimate goal, to reduce dependence on oil and stimulate domestic and foreign investment in order to diversify revenue. the first hints of the plan began to surface in late january. >> saudi arabia is consider

defense. through diplomacy, we shut down iran he's nuclear war program, opened up a new chapter with cuba. almost every country on earth sees america stronger and more respected than eight years ago. >> i don't know where he gets that claim, but the american people don't agree, they say we're in a weaker position than a year ago. >> 66 percent say less respected, #% less respected, that's bipartisan right there. the third promise he made was to continue his own policies. take a look. >> as i prepare to take on the more important role of citizen, know that i will be there with you every step of the way to ensure that this country forever strives to live up to the incredible promise of our founding. >> >>: other presidents have faded off and left the folks behind them to do the job. he's sticking around. >> it's a big mistake for president obama and his own legacy to stick around. the best way to have your legacy to improve is to disappear for a while and hope that history looks at it differently. however, the american people are looking for a change. this doe not want to continue his polic

, korea, vietnam, afghanistan, iran, iraq, china had a border skirmish with russia, india and pakistan, china anvietnam, i am missing a bunch, on one ever derailed the global economy. the others had an effect. vietnam had a huge effect, but only one, and it was the 1973 middle east crisis that derailed the economy. geopolitics is always noisy, but with little effect. i think it is a little worse. i would say from normal friction, it is it better or worse? it's probably worse. there are more wars in the middle east. more and more uncertainty around the nuclear risk, because of iran, russia, north korea. threatening mankind. north korea has a bomb and will soon be able to deliver it to all the way to california. that is not my assessment. that is the assessment of top people in the government, two years or so. that is a serious issue for the world, but i worry obviously about that, and peace in the middle east, but in reality what i worry about most is bad policy. add policy. as doing things to make it worse. government shutdowns, not fixing the school system. if you want populism and wa

move iran, turkey in the persian gulf toward compromise. it that pointtop because we are short on time and we will give our guest a chance to respond. guest: i think vladimir putin is not a great guy, but first of all, he has done some pretty brutal things in syria, but there has been a logical [indiscernible] moreover, at this point, you has several thousand forces there and he has not appear to be going anywhere and only realistic way out of this conflict is to look at some level with prussia. i don't mean we have to up with them in lockstep at every single way but we have to find a compromise that they can live with the minimal outcome that the text their interest and i think russia's interest in syria and to defeat sunni jihadists and protect their own access to the mediterranean, nab and air force assets in syria, and basically, to get to some kind of a peace because they don't benefit from a long, protracted war, in which they are seen as the enemies of the sunni muslim population. i think there is a way to compromise, allow russia to claim vindication, protect core just mentione

don't need congress, like ripping up the iran deal. >> you know this horrible deal? >> the u.s. has already paid iran $1.7 billion. president trump could unilaterally renegotiate nafta. >> and withdraw from the transpacific partnership, a potential disaster for our country. >> but his first big benchmark may be here on the supreme court, where he gets to nominate a new justice. that confirmation process won't be easy, but as the president-elect himself has said -- >> sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business. complicated. >> hallie joins mess now, along with our good friend elise jordan, who worked on rand paul's campaign and previously an adviser in the state department. happy new year. >> happy new year, pal. 2017 is here. >> hangover check, hangover check. >> eat your black-eyed peas, and we'll all by okay today? >> excellent. we're all holding up pretty well. let's turn the corn and look ahead to the year that's coming. >> donald trump will be sworn in as president, elise, paint the picture of the first 100 days. >> t moment p is dead. he's made clear that the transpacific

would include some very major dealmaking in iran, where the sanctions are being lifted and there is a lot of opportunity for oil and gas development in that country. at the same time, there is an effort by russia to rekindle, rebuild relationships with countries such as egypt and libya, where they had more influence in soviet times than they have in recent years. oliver: how much of this is motivated by oil, getting access to regions that do obviously have a lot of oil? russia has not only been involved in these countries, but opec as well. >> obviously russia has a tremendous interest in oil, and so do most of the countries in this region, and that is why russia was key, and vladimir putin played a direct role, speaking by phone, during the the recent negotiations that led to the agreement between opec and the non-opec countries to curb oil productions to shore up prices. carol: that was pretty significant, that december 10 final agreement to cut production. it really shows opec and non-opec nations are paying attention to what vladimir putin has to say. >> well, yes, absolutely. he

involvement in syria, their relationship with iran, and what is going on with isis, this is going to be something that will be repeated in turkey in the next following years, yes. >> certainly, something repeated, but also a fear and a sense of really, you know, just overall being scared out there when it comes to going about your daily life, not necessarily just in turkey, but we saw it in berlin, we saw it in france, throughout europe here. in the united states. you consider that security had been heightened in the major sniz tu cities following the attacks. you're talking about police officers on duty in istanbul alone. why do you think the measures weren't enough to prevent this? >> obviously not. apparently and evidently not, but, you know this is a nature of the beast here. isis is transnational, not a state actor. it crosses borders. it defies the laws of warfare as we know it and what it necessitates and requires is a very comprehensive and very tight and very credible and reliable network of intelligence exchanges between all the countries involved, which, by the way, includes

iran deal and now this, u.n.! stay strong, israel. january 20th is fast approach g approaching! the prime minister tweeted back, thank you for your warm friendship and clear-cut support for israel. charles, also with an exclamation point. >> there's a new sheriff in town without doubt. i thought your interview with senator cotton was very interesting. he did a very good job of going through all of the transgressions that vladimir putin has committed against the united states the past eight years. and the timing of this is very curious. the fact that finally the president has his dander up enough to do something about it. i think that the sanctions have very little to do with vladimir putin or russia and they have everything to do with donald trump and trying to set up something where, you know, when donald trump comes in, is he going to reverse this? if he reverses this, how much political capital does he have to spend to do that? how much does it hurt rex tillerson? how much does that give democrats sort of a political thing to use going forward against the trump administration. >>

and iran na is here to give us forecast. >> so a lot of this happy fog you're seeing is going to be sticking around. a lot of the temperatures are in the going to change much heading no the afternoon hour. we are tracking a storm system that's going to keep us cooler than what we have been seeing. we are expecting a drop. in san jose, does have hope though, 40s high for today. by 12, san francisco 50 degrees. our high is expected to be high of 052s. >> you don't have started on those 2017 resolutions because look at how we are compared to the rest of the nation. out in new york similar 46 degrees. san jose 44 degrees. indianapolises, 22, chicago 24. you have a chance to not go out yesterday because 2017 vi a feeling going to be a great year as you head outdoors. >> thank you, very much. now to a developing story, a huge new year's collation end in chaos. dozen of people are dead santa clause attacked party goer in istanbul. 39 people are dead dozens more are wounded. no one has claimed responsibility for the attack which is the fourth in turkey in less than a month. >> a chaotic sce

busy first 3 months.and then the nuclear deal with iran... moves that ruffled republicans. and the first visit by a sitting u-s president to cuba in almost 90 years.but president obama couldn't anticipate everything -- president obama: justice antonin "nino" scalia was a larger-than-life presence on the bench.antonin scalia, the court's most vocal conservative, died in february, at age 79.in march, the president nominated merrick garland to fill the vacancy.just months from a presidential election, the republican senate majority, was determined to block it. sen. mitch mcconnell/-r- kentucky: "it is the senate's constitutional right to act as a check on a president."one consequence of an even- numbered court -- a 4-4, non- ruling in june, that effectively blocked president obama's executive orders on immigration.as the primary calendar wound down, so did the number of candidates -- donald trump: "today was the day where we hit the 1,237" hillary clinton: "we are all standing under a glass ceiling."the heated presidential campaign would pit a political insider versus a billionaire ou

immediately known elsewhere. for instance, whatever position you took on the iran nuclear agreement, the fact that the agreement was signed and it appeared that our allies in the world -- both in the arab and israel, were very upset about it, i think unsettled people. i had conversations with allies in asia, wow, if china moves aggressively on us or if kim jong-un proposes some kind of compromise deal again. what i am saying is -- what we do with north korea will establish a very important precedent for what its leadership will be in the world, and it will, to be explicit, either encourage or discourage or unsettle our allies, and it may also encourage or discourage our enemies. the way we handle this is important beyond north korea, but north korea, in my opinion, is probably the most urgent, immediate threat that the new administration will face to our security. i think we have to acknowledge, as president bush said at the outset, this is not easy, but whatever we have tried so far has not worked, because people continue to live in terrible conditions, totally repressed, enslaved.

and brent tumbling this morning. >> what happened in doha and are -- with the fixation of iran and saudi arabia, will we ever going to have an agreementetween the two countries? who is going to give in first? >> cartels as you know, francine, require a degree of trust, and there are many things between saudi arabia and iran, but trust probably would not figure on the list. >> brent crude about $50 a barrel, dropping u.s. stockpile -- a drop in u.s. stockpile spurring the latest with the domestic drops. >> the catalyst so far seems to be the stockpile data we got from the u.s. showing a much higher than expected cut in stockpiles something like 4 , million barrels. however you have to wonder how much further that rally can go ahead of the opec meeting next week. it seems at least from the gulf side we are seeing a continuation of the strategy of maintaining market share. >> wti brent falling today and opec oil ministers failing to agree to an output limit. >> the one thing that the opec ministers did agree on is the new secretary general. that is a positive. you know, they he been b

earlier in 2009 when there are massive demonstration in iran calling for a comment the end of the mullahs, free elections, obama but they refused to support the democrats. is said we've got to say i did this. we will let them settle it. they are basically been at the protesters than not that bad. >> in gaza and? leaving a security in an area where we're running guns to syria through turkey in an area where "the new york times" reported the year before the entire time was grand by all sharia. surprise surprise is behind the terrorist attack with three other americans. who's responsible for that? other clinton is responsible for that. she shouldn't be worried about whether she goes to the white house pitches should be worried about whether she goes to the big house. unfortunately, we have an attorney general who would never prosecute anyone for these violations because he too is a criminal guilty of involuntary manslaughter. he led the program. turns out that you might think that running guns to mexican drug cartels with no tags in them, by the way. there were no optronics monitor sunday's

currency. that means iran quite likely cooperating on the nuclear side may be a lot closer to a nuclear capability not to mention knot iter rogue state with loose change. gregg require's a dire scenario you are laying out. imposed sanctions never worked. they never deterred north korea from their nuclear ambitions it doesn't deter their provocative threats from the united states. what should the u.s. do? >> i think we have had failure in the last two administrations. under secretary of state condi rice north korea was taken off the u.s. list of state-sponsored tear terrorists. sanctions were reduced. that was a mistake. the bawnl administration had what it called strategic patience with north korea. north korea said fine, and they advanced their ballistic missile program. we are in deep trouble because of north korea's progress and the potential collaboration with iran. the trump administration should follow through on what the candidate said and restore america's missile defense program well beyond what it was even in the bush administration. we have to be able to protect our civilians

miles, but the big issue of the icbms, intercontin intercontinental missiles are the ones that iran has been trying to develop its own set of intercontinental ballistic missiles as well, and north korea if thaw make this leerngs it changes the game in terms of the ability to reach the united states with missiles that could go up to 10,000 clom t about about 8,000 miles to hit california. >> and do you think that kim jong-un is pressured to see a all of the countries being tested and like he needs to be ahead of the game and bon it with his? >> since he has come into office, he has sped up development and testing of these missile ranges, and north korea has 1,000 missiles apparently in the arsenal, and all different ranges, and types, but he is trying to make a strategic leap into something that i think that would obviously threaten the united states. the united states is his most often mentioned threat, and north korea to some degree creates the prospect of fear to extort resources from other countries in to the sort of positioning itself into the world's mind, if you will, as something

not anymore. it was a horrible iran deal. now this. january 20 is fast president-elect trump thank you for your warm friendship and clear-cut support for israel. >> there is a new sheriff in town without doubt. at that your interview was very interesting. he did a great job going through all of the transgressions that they committed against the united states over the past eight years. the timing of this is very curious the fact that the president has his dander up to do something about it. i think the sanctions have very little to do with vladimir putin or russia. and everything to do with donald trump and trying to set up something when he comes in is he going to reverse this how much political capital does he have to spend to do that. how much does that give democrats a political cudgel trump administration. shannon: what you make with that criticism and they're saying too little too late. >> tom carton is absolutely right. about how lax and belated i would say this is not so much the democrats driving this it does box the president elected in president-elect and in the following

, turkey and russia and iran had signed a deal over syria, they had made some sort of pa ct of syria, they had made some sort of pact of a ceasefire. 0f syria, they had made some sort of pact of a ceasefire. of course, this was very much at isis's expense, the expense of the islamic state. having, as it were, turned a blind eye in previous years towards the activities of islamic state, of not really being as aggressive as they might have been, suddenly turkey and the islamic state has become full—fledged enemies. so there is anticipation not just that this insta nt anticipation not just that this instant has occurred, but there may be future incidents of its kind. as far as the turkish electorate is concerned, what expectation do they have in terms of being kept safe from the politicians and the authorities? you have to know that turkey, the entire country is already under a form of emergency rule. there was an attempted coup lastjuly, and ever since that time, the government has really been ruling by decree, it's been ruling inafairly ruling by decree, it's been ruling in a fairly autho

outlets were not in an oppositional stance, no matter the obama care or the iran deal. this call to arms to be brave truth tellers in the face of trump. >> take benghazi. can you imagine in benghazi happened on the watch of a trump? do you think the mainstream media would be willing to dismiss it? >> that was an excuse to put our first amendment values on the table. we had them questioning the first amendment, whether you should be tree to say what wu want about a religion. videos going out saying we don't disparage other religions. >> we do all of the time. >> you make it a point of pride that you'reble to do that. and there wasn't a hand wringing about the dangerous freedom of spooch. when you hear that trump was a danger to free speech, where are with you for the last eight years. >> some of this is valid, but there's an element of where you stand is where you sit. is that the cliche? you have a certain outlook, you're not hard enough on trump, you're not hard enough on hillary. the same standards have to apply all of the time. in terms of president obama, he was a threat at time

example, the british did iran enactment of the battle of the psalm. this is telling you, this is actual footage taken overseas. susan: this is part of the background of what got the united states into the war. tells about that decision. allison: the entry of the united states into the war is still interesting. scholars still debated today. this is submarine warfare were germans were attacking civilians or supposedly civilian, ships. this caused a lot of tension between the u.s. and germany. some scholars say this led to the u.s. entering the first rolled war, particularly the sinking of the lusitania. susan: this is remarkable footage they were able to get, the american or allied vessels. mitchell: i agree. i mean, the fact that the cameras were so, i guess, antiquated. certainly these surroundings would have shook from the reverberations susan: of the torpedoes hitting the ships. -- reverberations hitting the ships. susan: how controversial was this decision to go to war? mitchell: for one thing, wilson ran on his reelection platform on keeping the u.s. out of the were against -- theat

mean syria, iran, iraq -- >> north africa and italy. >> this was the great question, to what extent do you put men into operation bolero, the buildup prior to operation overlord and to what extent do you send them off? in drips and drabs on the scatter his asian principle -- scattering principle. they had to do both. i think the way in which they built up an army of well over a million men and you have that entire force in northwest france, it was a miracle. to have been able to have done that at the same time as fighting those three other campaigns, it completely exhausted the british. even though we had the support of many millions of the commonwealth troops, india volunteered, the largest army the world has ever seen. largest volunteer army the world has ever seen. but it could not be deployed as effectively as it should have been. so yes, i agree with you, , marshall was keen to build up operation bolero as large as possible. i do not think it was in order to minimize what was going on in italy because he had to do both. >> i think he had to do both. but if he had given in and n

from iran who travels on a west indian passport from st. kitts and nevis. and where do you live? >> sirous motevassel: i'm living in dubai, united arab emirates. >> kroft: so, you're an iranian living in dubai with st. kitts citizenship. >> motevassel: yes. yeah. >> kroft: that's complicated. >> motevassel: ( laughs ) yeah, it... yeah. this is the life. >> kroft: it's the life because motevassel's st. kitts passport, available for $250,000 or a $400,000 real estate investment, allows him entry to more than 100 countries without having to get special permission. it's a legal way to circumvent visa controls that nations set up to screen people coming into their country. but it's also an opportunity for shady characters to mask their true identity and avoid suspicion as they travel around the globe. the business was born here in st. kitts, when chris kalin struck a deal with the government a decade ago following the collapse of the islands' sugar industry. since then, passports have become its major export, providing hundreds of millions of dollars in income. in fact, in 2014, the

ministers of turkey, russia and iran. they are working on some sort of formula. this formula is to create a new momentum for negotiations between the syrian regime and the opposition. so, we can see some sort of stability here. but the problem is, islamic state, that major danger, is still there. the war against mosul, to remove them out completely from mosul, did not succeed yet. there are huge casualties. there is also raqqa, which is still in syria, and there are plans to evacuate to root out islamic state from it. until now, there are no concrete plans to attack them, simply because they proved to be a very, very hard nut to crack. we've got a few minutes left, maybe time for some predictions. british domestic politics. will there be a general election in 2017? prediction there won't be a general election, theresa may hasn't got a cause to justify a general election, because parliament will vote to trigger article 50. so, she said there won't be, and what she says tends to be pretty close to what she does, so there won't be a general election. and it will be a year dominated, a

yet, a year earlier in 2009 when there are massive demonstration in iran calling for a comment the end of the mullahs, free elections, obama but they refused to support the democrats. is said we've got to say i did this. we will let them settle it. they are basically been at the protesters than not that bad. >> in gaza and? leaving a security in an area where we're running guns to syria through turkey in an area where "the new york times" reported the year before the entire time was grand by all sharia. surprise surprise is behind the terrorist attack with three other americans. who's responsible for that? other clinton is responsible for that. she shouldn't be worried about whether she goes to the white house pitches should be worried about whether she goes to the big house. unfortunately, we have an attorney general who would never prosecute anyone for these violations because he too is a criminal guilty of involuntary manslaughter. he led the program. turns out that you might think that running guns to mexican drug cartels with no tags in them, by the way. there were no optronic
