pointed out. i understand social media is having an impact with this investigation as they try to identify the bodies of those who were unaccounted for at this moment. and police are saying it's helpful from loved ones who are sending in pictures on facebook and twitter accounts. >> well, they are looking for certainly identifier, suf as tattoos or piercings as they try to identify some of these victims as they arrive at the co ner's office. you're right. social media, police and fire official, enkourning people to reach out on social media, to give any information they can. if they were here last night, if they can't find their friend. or if in fact they are safe and they got home safely, to let people know. back to you. >> thank you so much. i know you're keeping close watch on the developings there and we appreciate you joining us. thank you again. >>> now to politics. there's lots of fallout from krcritics and china over a phon call from taiwan's president to president-elect donald trump. the reason, the united states and the diplomatic ties with taiwan in 1979. though taiwan is an ind

please push our message out as far as you can. we have a lot of social media platforms exchanging and sharing information. which we always encourage, but we'd like to direct that information to the alameda county coroner's bureau. because they have a master list they are working with. and we want to take that information to share it with them to ensure and notify families whether that are loved one was or was not here. looking everyone from distinguishing mark, photos. tattoos. not all families are from this area. they are out of state. internationally as said earlier and local as well. so please help us as we find answers and as we heal as a community and help the families heal. at this time we'll open for questions. you sir, go ahead. >> how many exits -- [inaudible]. >>ly certain >> i will certainly refer to the dire department. but let me a lot of preface to preface that we'll not be able to share the information. because the roof fell through and it collapsed in the -- so that could be very difficult. i don't know if we're prepared for that answer yet. hold on. let me see if i ca

there were, again, about 100 people who were at some kind of social gathering. and they could not get out because there was some kind of makeshift staircase. there was just one way in from the second floor. and it's unclear, again, where the fire started. but here is what oakland fire chief had to say a few moments ago. >> right now, we can confirm that there are nine fatalities. about you there's still a large portion of the building that still needs to be searched. the building was a warehouse that was kind of like an artist studio, that had, you know, several different partitions where they had various parties. >> reporter: and as you can see, the firefighters still on the scene putting out the hot spots. you can still smell the smoke which was literally put out a few hours ago. they have to go through inch by inch the inside of this facility, and see how many more bodies they can find. we know of nine so far. but the fire chief telling us just a few moments ago that the death toll could go as high as 40. we're just going to have to wait and see. elizabeth, i can tell you that

socialism where the government can come in and wave a magic wand and force all of the jobs and companies to stay here while taxing them more and placing more burdens on job creators. that is not how the economy works. 1,000 people are keeping their jobs many america. that is something you think bernie sanders and donald trump might agree on but he is nitpicking. i think rolling up the sleevies and getting a deal done is great. but making deals, company by company, that's not sustainable. what has to happen longer term in the trump administration, is leveling the playing field for everyone, and letting companies compete and create jobs here. that is the longer term goal here. >> jessica, do you feel good for those workers whose jobs were just saved? >> slously. i don't think anyone including bernie isn't happy that 1,000 more people have their jobs. economic illiteracy is a step too far for me, but i think the op-ed is signaling to companies saying they can threaten off shore and then have donald trump show up to say let's work something out. there are some things in the trump e

psychiatrists and social workers. there is a shortage. if a veteran has no one to serve with them, what are they going to do? people can link up on a tv screen and talk with them. there's more there to get hospital beds for emergencies. wide range of grant programs to help, whether it's police training or other training there, it really reforms the system in ways we haven't seen in decades. >> it's a bipartisan bill. you also have a new book you put out called overcoming passive aggression dealing with mental illness. we have it up there on our screen. we urge our viewers to take a look at it because it does give you very specific and direct examples of what is going on and what are the lessons you want people to take away from this? >> it's the way sometimes congress acts or families or businesses act, passive aggressive behavior is a way that we work towards each other or against each other. social media has given us that behavior where we tweet about people's postings and snide sarcastic comments, we make someone's life rougher. this is a way of helping, whether it's a marriage in troubl

socially not prepared. they are going to just act different and you need to pay attention to the signs and symptoms. there is no question there is also peer pressure and these kids nowadays are going through tremendous stress and pressure. once they get hooked on these medications they are in for life. because rehab is very difficult. and a lot of times they bounce back. you want to be very careful. let's talk about ipoiates. heroin, percocet, vicodins. and the sympathetnthetic forms. there are a lot of loopholes and comes in from other countries and it becomes devastating. what happens is we have natural opioid. so if you have a little pain the body can fight back. but these opioids are made for the high level of pain. and you are like great i feel so good. and you become addicted. your tolerance goes up and this behavior goes on. the message to a lot of people out there is don't touch it. don't go close to it. stay away. >> and that is a great message of course. but of course we have these kids that are already there. how do youish you say you are in for life. how do you waen o

social media that this is all about putin trying to help trump get elected. that's not what the cia has concluded. from what i understand and what i'm hearing from my sources on capitol hill. there probably will be an investigation into this as mccain was talking about, but they haven't reached that conclusion yet. >> so the conclusion is apparently that there was hacking which we've heard from numerous agencies leading up to this but the connecting of the dots, making that next leap, that it was done specifically to benefit trump, is still -- >> that's right, and if you look at the sourcing to some of these stories, we don't really know where that's coming from. u.s. officials. there's some belief at least again from my sources on capitol hill that this is being capitol hilly driven by the democrats whether it's coming to the obama administration or democratic folks on capitol hill who want to establish that connection because they believe that trump was the person who the ruthss we russians were trying to benefit at the expense of hillary clinton but the firm connection is not the

today. this should not surprise anybody. they are just using cyberspace and social media as the new platform. it happens to be much more efficient and effective for them. >> then what do you think president-elect trump should do? >> well, the problem with cyberspace, the problem with cyberwarfare, cyberattacks is first identifying the point of origin. it can be very difficult in gathering intelligence to understand exactly where the attack came from. the bigger problem is proportional response. that's what frankly, the pentagon has been struggling with this question in terms of trying to define cyberwarfare for some time now. so the idea is what exactly can we do that will not create a rapid escalation in cyberspace. >> i leave it right there. unfortunately weeshgs are against the clock. talk to you tomorrow. back in a moment. >>> president-elect donald trump ready to start his christmas vacation after a boisterous rally this afternoon in mobile, alabama. the final stop on his multi-state thank you tour. i'm arthel neville. welcome to a brand new hour inside america's news headquart

of the and now it is more effective because now we are in cyber space and there is social media. your question is important on what do we do now. in the long term, this is president-elect's issue to deal with. the pentagon has been work on this issue for some time, and in terms of what constitutes cyber warfare. president obama his problem is, you could say over the past seven or eight years, his policies have not created this mess but certainly embolden the russians to continue their efforts because their perspective they no push back during the current administration time in power to a lot of the things that russians have been doing and i don't think the russians are looking at what president obama is going to do, but, now, their certain, what is the incoming administration doing and the answer is, we have to be very careful, president obama is right about that, we have to exercise caution and be very measured in what we do. believe me, this can escalate in cyber space very quickly to the detriment of all of us. >> do you think it is a matter of time vladimir putin will unleash hack

social media. >> so the movement so stop trump, has that managed to gain ground? you said earlier it was driven by social media. >> yeah, but there has been a new organized effort. twoing against their donald trump to get the 240 votes necessary. two of the electors are here today. they unselfly sued to overturn . >> they cannot be influenced by foreign values. . >> to date, only one republican elector rate said he will not vote for donald trump. as i said at the top, no defectors yet that i know of. >> thank you for joining us live from the west coast. >> united nations security council taking action in syria. they are monitors to aleppo. now the scene of a mass evacuation effort. turkey estimating some 20,000 rebels and civilians have been evacuated so far. we're following all of the breaking developments in jerusalem. >> the u.n. approved the plan to send monitors to aleppo, but it's not clear when they will get there. they will probably arrive after most of the evacuations have ended. quite the term that these monosors are being sent there, stopping future atrocitieatrociy don

is an unbelievable story. we have documentation of the entire event. >> thanks so social media. so richard marx, i'll be right there waiting for you. >> he was on a flight from vietnam to south korea when a passenger, allegedly drunk, got up and started attacking people. this is a tmz video showing some flight attendants restraining him. the flight lasted four hours because flight attendants were not sure how to handle the situation so he eventually got out of the house. so the reason why we're talking about this is because marx was the first person to step up and at least try and subdue him appropriately, according to his wife daisy fuentes. three people were injured in this four-hour attack and now marx is angry. he took to facebook and said, "the all female crew was clueless and not trained as to how to subdue this psycho when i and a couple male passengers intervened. korean air should be sanctioned for this." korean air says that the flight attendants handled the situation appropriately and did not use tasers because they didn't want to hurt anyone else. >> what are others say

be there as well as an assistant and helping with social media, too. first the drain the comments were in, and then they were out, is it back in? out, what is it? >> it is back in. that's what the president-elect said. someone incorrectly stated that the phrase "drain the swamp" is no longer being used by me but dts is something we are always trying to do. >> they talked about draining the swamp was constitute for the campaign. but gingrich said i goofed "draining the swamp" is in. donald trump will do it and the alligators shouldç be nervous. >> all right, from someone that makes a lot of goops, can i guess we will goof on and move on. thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> another fox news alert as we continue learning more about the terror suspect that slaughtered 12 people in berlin. we have brand new video of the suspect. a short selfie clip from a social media sight. it's not clear when or where it was made, but the man hunt to find him has as expanded. afghanistaners say they found his fingerprints on the truck that plowed through the berlin christmas market. a place tod

-elect posted on social media that he thinks vladimir putin is a smart person for waiting to respond to u.s. sanctions until president obama leaves office doesn't mean his foreign policy is going to favor putin for no reason. republican congressman sean duffy says, president-elect trump has a plan. >> what we understand from mr. trump, he puts, whether it's his business or his campaign or now america first. so when you have the left saying, oh, my gosh, this relationship is going to be a partnership between america and russia, i don't think that is actually going to be the case. i think mr. trump doesn't want to be boxed in by these lame sanctions that have come from barack obama. he wants to start a fresh relationship with mr. putin. >> earlier today, the president-elect did sneak out of mar-a-lago to play golf, which has been relatively rare, as far as we know, while he's been in florida. and a helicopter later flew by our cameras and landed on the lawn at mar-a-lago, which is something we've never seen before in the last couple of weeks. so far, no word from the transition team ab

that wasn't paid for, the social security taxes. i mean, all these things are going to dominate. and it comes down to whether the president-elect, soon to be president, trusts these people and whether they have vetted these people up until in this process. i think that the american people's perception of them will likely change as they get to hear more from them and their plans. martha: yeah. we all expected that today there would be a big news conference and a discussion from the president-elect about how he was going to divide his business interests and how he would create a wall between his work as president of the united states and the business that he built over the course of a lifetime. so here's what the poll says about that. are you concerned that the wall will, that he will place business interests ahead of the american people, is the way this was worded. 52% say yes, 47% say no. so sooner or later, he's going to have to put people's minds at ease or attempt to on this, bret. >> yeah. he tweeted about that today saying it's not as complex as the media makes it. you're r

social media. is that the reason they lost in november? [laughter] >> no. i don't think that the ability of members of the senate to send out videos of their actions or messages to constituents is the problem. it's the message itself, it's the policies, it's the candidates that they have a problem with. they looked everywhere else but the mirror to understand the problems they face in november 8th, at some point i think it's going to happen. they blamed the fbi, they blamed every segment, except for themselves, their message and the policies, that's the problem. bill: remember when president obama said he has a pen and a phone? >> i do. bill: you spend a lot of time with mr. trump, what has he said about the comment, that form of government, sean? >> it's not just what he says, it's what he does. if you look at president-elect trump what he dade -- he did with carrier. it's not what you have but how you use it. it's a very different way of managing than we've seen in particular. president-elect trump is the kind of guy that gets things don't and holds people accountable. he lays

something, it is instantly megaphoned in other social media and in the press. a lot of reporters write what trump just said on twitter. it's an ea educate give -- effective way of communicating. in this case and also in the case of the f-35, the very troubled combat jet, trump's use of twitter seems to have indicated he's signaling a desire to cut down on pentagon waste. yes, he wants to increase pentagon spending, he wants to improve the pentagon's war-fighting capability, but he wants to go after the billions in waste. it's probably going to be a very popular position. molly: yeah. it's fascinating to see this, to see the president-elect personally inserting himself rather intimately into these types of projects. big government spending like the pentagon, but also boo a smaller business -- into a smaller business like carrier in indiana. is that something that's sustainable when he actually assumes the presidency next year? >> unclear right now, but it is what he has said all along. if you listen to donald trump's speeches all through the campaign, he described, you know, when ford was go

legend. eric. eric: will, certainly this morning social media must be exploding. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. really an outpouring of support. about my friend george michael's death. he was such a brilliant talent, i'm so sad. rob lowe said: had the pleasure of knowing george michael in the '80s. voice of an angel, now he can sing with them. and elton john tweeting: i'm in deep shock. i have lost a beloved friend, rip, george michael. eric, george michael was 53 years old. eric: yeah. we see right now live in knot london outside of his home -- north london, well wishers placing flowers and notes and when there's been a litany and list of several pop superstars who have passed away below the age of 70. george michael, our thoughts are with his family. and for those of us, as i said, of a certain age, really a sounding track from the 1980s and the tunes of our lives. patti ann: yeah. great hits. israel's prime minister lashing out at the obama administration following a vote at the united nations. we'll tell you what set him >>> and president obama gearing up to issue more executiv

mall was placed on lockdown for a while. scenes like this lit up social media. there's no word on what might have sparked this trend. >> tensions are growing between united states and israel after vote condemning the jewish state with settlement and declaring settlement and continuing building illegal. israel insisting that the u.s. government was behind the resolution and the white house has been denying that. embassador john bolton said this, quote, last friday on the eve of hanukkah and christmas, barack obama stabbed israel in the front, the departing president refuse today veto united nations council resolution 2434, settlement policy but clearly intended to tip the peace process toward palestinians, adoption wasn't pretty but sadly it was predictable. john bolton joins us now, he's, of course, former u.s. embassador to the united nations, senior fellow and fox news contributor. embassador is it really fair that president obama stabbed israel? israel continues to defy and violate international law, the netanyahu federal government is provocative and torpedoing any hope to two

connected to all those similar fights around the country that apparently were spurred by social media. ♪ heather: progressive filmmaker michael moore now organizing resistance by left-wing activists against president-elect donald trump, outlining steps to challenge his leadership, even before he takes office. joining us now, joe trippi, former howard dean campaign manager, a fox news contributor and former carly fiorina deputy campaign manager, a erica flores, a former spokesman for the rnc and fellow at harvard institute of politics. thanks to you both for joining us. joe, i will start with you. they're not done yet. michael moore outlining five steps, still not prepared to accept that donald trump is the president-elect. >> well, there is, this isn't a whole lot different than mitch mcconnell saying that his one job was to make obama a one-term president or even donald trump leading the "birther" movement to challenge whether barack obama was even eligible to be president after he was elected president. so i mean you're going to have, welcome to polarized america. this is, i

there's also the legacy she left behind in a social sense. so many women in the '60s really looked at her as the first feminist to exist. >> yeah. she was an incredible person all around in regards to just in her personal life and also on screen as well, and that's kind of the beauty of how carrie fisher was as well. we all know her from the screen, but she was very vocal in trying to bring light to certain issues, mental issues. but the clip we just showed just now of all those amazing scenes that she was involved in, that to me is the beauty of what being an artist allowses. she will truly never die or leave us because we can always go back and revisit her work. same thing with carrie fisher, you can revisit those amazing moments. and we see singing in the rain which, by the way, she had no dancing experience whatsoever before she dud that movie -- she did that movie s and she had to get trained in the dancing, which is incredding. she did an interview when she described where she was doing those scenes her feet were bleeding because she was doing so many different takes of it. she'

environmental activists. social media has driven it for the last 9 months. they raised money from liberal foundations, casino and the internet. the vets arrived here to act as a human shield for a pla confrontation. but the army corps of engineers refused to issue an easement for under the missouri river. >> it's crucial because of our land being destroyed. if we don't do anything fit now, we'll have nothing left. reporter: the tribal chairman called the president's decision courageous. critics call it interference. the chairman's sister jody willis is the president's former chief of staff for native american affairs. there is a picture from 2014. so you have got the camp here. where you see the trees, that's where the river is. up on the ridge line, that's where the pipeline is. let me give an aerial view. the pipeline is on the north side, the sioux reservation on the south side. they claim it's land stolen in 1853. >> when this all said and done everybody keeps going. we get to deal with all the local people that looked forward to the pipeline. that's what worries us. reporter:

reach 40 million people through my social media immediately. this is what he said on the today show, watch. >> frankly it's a modern day form of communication. >> even when you're picking fighting -- >> facebook and twitter. i guess more than 40 million people. that's a modern-day form of communication. i get it out much faster than a press release. bill: i don't think he's going to stop and we will see after january 20. take us inside the west wing as you were doing there. what is the challenge or is it a challenge? >> of course, it's a challenge -- bill: you know, it's his way of going around the media. >> it's fine, i understand that. that's why he will continue to do it. when he does so there's one elemental thing that the president ought to keep in mind, the power of his words and therefore the accuracy of his words, it's fine for president trump to say, i'm going to go around the media and say things directly to the american people and the press will be forced to cover it and, fine. make sure those words are accurate. what he did yesterday was he disstabled the stock of a majo

socialism. martha: he is saying that carrier and the interference as he is putting it by donald trump in these issues amounts to socialism and that it is enabling certain entities because they're getting helped out and they're becoming victims of sorts in society essentially. >> yeah. you don't want government picking winners and losers. you don't want cronyism which we had way too much of in the obama administration. so government should not be coming in with its heavy hand trying to pressure companies to do certain things. or rewarded them with taxpayer dollars for engaging in certain kind of behavior, but what i think largely happened here was, they went to carrier and said look, there is a new game in town. we'll actually get a tax policy that makes sense. you were talking in the previous segment lowering the corporate rate, maybe even doing something i think makes sense, taking our corporate rate to the lowest in the world for where it is the in the world now the highest in the world. that is the thing i think companies are seeing why the market is up. there will be real tax reform.

quickly moved into social influence kinds of things, similar to what law enforcement does or what a psychologist would do to get a patient who was reluctant to talk, to deal with a topic they didn't want to talk to. so it is true that waterboarding, by itself, is not a silver bullet. it can be done badly or it can be done in a way that is useful. melissa: so when you hear donald trump going back and forth talking about whether or not it should be used now, what do you think? what do you think he should do? >> well, i think good luck with that. as a person who waterboarded everyone that was officially waterboarded in the cia's interrogation program, ask an intelligence officers to step up and do that after the way we've been savaged by the obama administration, i think it is a tough road to hoe. but having said that i would say that the army field manuel is not enough. you know, a man like ksm, the worst of the worst, who has an attack in the works and is hardened, very hardcore, and is intent on protecting those secrets, that guy is not going to talk because you give him a beer and

ultimately what's going on at the pentagon, what's going on say social security peales in comparison. there's actual infrastructure bureaucracy at the pentagon hiring people, contractors, building planes, listening to presentations, getting shows, there's too many employees there for there not to be massive amounts of waste. a lot of programs are just shuffling money around. there's waste there as well. but don't think across the board it's always been the pentagon, always been the $99 hammers and toilet seats. this story goes back forever and that's where you need someone with business experience to go in and run it like a business and not just this thing no one can touch because they're getting jobs in your district, et cetera, et cetera. >> jessica, a businessman and not a bureaucrat, imagine that? >> well, i mean, that's all well and good, but one of the main premises trump ran on was reinvesting in defense. and how much our defense has been weakened. and, yes, there is fraud and abuse and waste within government agencies like there are with any large even corporations. these are

. >> johnhis talk now that border agents are vetting social media pages because oftentimes these terrorists, or potential terrorists, are radicalized and they plan their attacks online. how do you hold facebook and twitter responsible? >> i don't. i think they have an opportunity to be a private business, which they are. they're publicly traded, but private as they're not government business. i think they have an obligation though when you have some type of hay nus act or some type of terrorist act to take it off of their website. but past that i think you have a hard time finding fault. i want our guys tracking these guys. remember, they're vetting terrorists. their e they're not vetting muslims or people of muslim religion otherwise we would have had to vet southern christians after the klan problem in the south in the early 1900s or the catholic church because the problems they had with native american south americans, this is not a religion issue. i hope it's not. this is a terrorist issue. and people coming from south america, like chuck said, that's different when people sh

socialism. and we want free enterprise. that's what happened. >> there you go. way to sum it up, rachel. fantastic. >>> did trump's so-called deplorables just teach the democrats a lesson they should never forget? >>> i want to say thanks to our "cashin' in" crew for joining us. great week, everybody. time to wake up, america. it was as ugly as before the election. folks, it just got uglier. listen to hillary clinton's campaign manager this past thursday still so out of touch, it's literally unbelievable. >> if providing a platform for white supremacists makes me as a brilliant -- >> no, it wasn't racism, white supremacy, it wasn't sexism. what it was, however, it was the fact that hillary had no message. she never touched the hearts of voters. her only message was, it's my turn. and he's terrible. and then she crossed the line. a poll that made a miscalculation. hillary clinton went from trump is bad to trump's supporters are deplorable. that comment hit home but to the wrong group. it hit home to every person who has felt ignored or belittled for their beliefs or felt the political el

. so we already see -- social experiment that failed on a national level big time consequently we're rejecting the notion that somehow there's unfeddered regulations and rich people are too rich by electing someone worth $10 billion who says i love being rich. >> no, but we should be able to have a policy conversation about this. we're not talking about bill gates who started a company. we're talking about like how much are you comfortable with? how much -- >> why is government -- >> that has nothing to do -- >> answer that question. how much is enough? >> adam, i'm just saying we've already gone through this experiment for the last iegt e eight years and i think everyone can agree -- >> if starbucks were in portland, it would have to move out because the outgoing ceo, the guy wants to retire, makes like 10,000 times his lowest paid workers. so starbucks wouldn't be able to do business. >> you know -- >> adam, be clear here if we're going to talk -- >> we're talking statistics about the rich getting richer and the poorer getting poorer. i mean, the gap grew, i believe, under presiden

don't even have the president anymore, right? >> the dmblgts are going to roll on social security and all that, no way? >> no, way, i don't think it will roll and it will be interesting say, we're going to privatize medicare, et cetera, but i think we know we have to compromise especially if we want $1 trillion in infrastructure. >> chuck schumer is not talking about compromise i should say this in the coburn book that you mentioned they talk about the f-16 being overpriced? >> no. >> my point is i just wonder, i have no problem with a president going out theand talking out defense budgets and whatever, my part is it real or is it show? are they really screwing us? do you think boeing is screwing us? >> with all due respect, without nour necktie and everything, the president-elect campaigned on a promise of greatly increasing defense spending. >> i agree. >> and there's nothing wrong with that. we are way underarmed now. >> making my point. >> for the threats we face all around the world. i don't think the priority is to cut defense spending. it's increase defend spending. >> you're m

the '90s that was of course before the age of social media and it's not a stretch to see that a lot of these teens whether it's aurora, colorado, or in ohio or memphis, hundreds of people converging on a mall all at the same time you have to think there's some form of coordination. and, you know, maybe that's the one thing they can do to ease shoppers' minds who are actually going to show up to spend money. but it's funny, joe, because when you talk to people about these issues, a lot of people say, well, that's why i shop online. that's why i don't go to the mall anymore. >> that's a great point. amazon is destroying the majority of retailers. i don't feel people are going to the malls to shop anymore. they're mainly going to hang out. i was in a target on christmas eve -- not bragging or anything. >> wow. >> and it was empty. i was shocked at how empty it is. when i go to the malls, they are empty. it's no different than a sporting event or concert. when you know large groups of people are going to converge, it's usually teens on school break that are going to hang out. when you k

happened with reagan to save social security. >> back in the 1980, there was a 1986 tax reform that steve talked about which the rates came down to 28%. look what happened. everybody said all members of congress said we're going to lose revenue, result of tax -- in fact revenue increased 34% when you lowered tax rates. >> i would love to see some gift that pays for itself. but cutting taxes without cutting spending is voodoo economics. >> i showed you the figures. >> there's two ways for the government to sap resources from the productive part of the economy. they can take cash out of your wallet, that's a tax increate. steve forbes wants them to steal your credit card. >> and there are many examples, other than the 1980s, '60s, going back to the 1920s, where you lower tax rates, that brings more people into the economy d aand earnings twaet increase. >> trump is making a mistake if he doesn't spend this political capital now. as steve says if you don't go big now, it's going to be much harder down the line. after that, i don't see why the american worker needs to make sure that congress

precious vets anymore than we need a social security administration to make sure that people can retire normally. just get rid of it. >> bill, trump is saying something in the middle. he is not saying either total privatization or totally get rid of it. what do you think? >> i'm very much pro choice. i would give veterans the choice of either getting fully covered care and so-so mediocre government hospital or getting a voucher that would cover costs of getting care. >> a voucher like some people suggested for education. steve, we have 144 hospitals in the u.s., veteran v.a. hospitals. 1,200 outpatient facilities, 300 vet centers. what would happen to all of these if we went private? >> well, they would have to shape up. we would right now report came out about how veterans are being badly treated in terms of opi e opiates and drug addictions like the like. they survive if they provide a service, but having a card, whatever you want to call it a card where they can go to any hospital, let the v.a. compete. we'll see how many hospitals we really need. >> bruce, what's wrong with c

say, hey, what took me so long to figure that out? >> now we have social media, now there's a platform to talk about what's hard, and people are kind of giving their moment-by-moment of their lives, so we're seeing it. so maybe things that were always hard and now we're just hearing the experience of it, but, yeah, some of them are kind of saying, wow, i can do this. i think it's more of a -- i think millennials can get a bad rap. the reception we're getting is i want to do this. i want to be empowered. these are skills i'm missing. the world has changed so much, that people are excited to catch up. >> progress. >> good deal. thank you so much, rachel. >> thank you very much. >> in this day and age, you hear so much about helicopter parenting and parents enabling their kids. >> sure. the parents do almost everything for the kids and then their adults and it's kind of like now what i do i do? mom and dad aren't here to wipe my nose. if you like more information about the adulting school, go to our website. >>> 7:30 here in new york city, new details on the kidnapped mother beat
