it is monday november 11. >> families can be deported together. >> donald trump bringing back the man behind some of his most aggressive immigration policies during his first term. we cannot keep doing what we are doing. we have to be the change. >> the republican face-off. who will be the next senate

majority leader. and donald trump in israel's prime minister on the same page about the threat iran poses. 5:00 a.m. here on the east coast. a lad look at the washington monument. the white house and shadow on this veterans day. good morning, everyone. president-elect donald trump is adding a border czar to his new administration. in a true social post late sunday trump confirmed he is naming tom homan. he served as active director before and has strongly supported mass deportations. >> every president that i work for said they were going to secure the border and president trump actually did it. i have a

message, you had better start packing now. >> a key cabinet position also off the board. trump has offered the role of u.s. ambassador of the united nations to at least upon it, the fourth highest-ranking house republican. her eyes comes as trump analysis will not be returning to a second term. nikki haley will not be welcome back. the returning president is moving quickly to fill out political appointees was that his administration from his mar-a-lago cup which is become a hub for republican powerbrokers. allies like elon musk and robert f. kennedy jr. have essentially moved into the beachfront resort. and an incoming republican-controlled senate signaling there ready to approve his choices.

>> i expect the president to make bold decisions. he has the, with 1200 different appointees that are confirmed by the senate. the senate will be ready to look at every nominee that he makes. >> joining us now to discuss all of this is white house reporter for the wall street journal. thank you for being here. donald trump has dozens and dozens of decisions to make. telling that the first one is really focused or one of the first ones i should say is focus on immigration and his plan to undertake these mass deportations. what does that tell us about what is next? >> distance and signaled that this remains a top priority. he is going to be very tough on immigration. he ran on the border and has made those promises really clear. i think it signals he is going to move forward with the things he

talked about on his campaign. that he has committed to fulfilling some of these promises and he is going to bring back some of these people that he has been talking about. >> let's remind everybody, tom homan who was the acting director of i.c.e. was interviewed on 60 minutes. one of the big questions is what happens when there are families that have mixed immigration status. someone in the home is undocumented and probably a minor child is a u.s. citizen. let's watch how homan answered that question. >> is there a way to carry out mass deportations without separating families? >> of course there is. families can be deported together. >> why should a child who is an american citizen have to pack up and move to a country they don't know? >> their parent into the country illegally, had a child knowing he was in the country

illegally so he created the crisis. >> he is basically saying family separation is possibly on the table? >> a anxiety for immigration advocates. obviously we saw family separation in the first trump administration unraveling children separated and great difficulty reuniting some of these kids. this was a huge issue. i think about how exactly this would unfold and how he suggests he would do it. there are a lot of steps that we have to see in terms of what exactly his role is and how they are going to implement some of these things. >> let's talk about democrats who are grappling with a pretty widespread electoral failure. they lost the popular vote, the fact that donald trump broke 50%, which i think i have said a number of times trump has a

ceiling and that does not seem to have borne out. here is real, talking about -- here is ro khanna talking on sunday. watch. >> i think this was a wonderful campaign. even when he got out vice president harris was five point thought. anyone who says this was not a winnable campaign did not say that back in august. the reason we did it when is we didn't listen enough to people on the ground. >> what do you make of what he says and this back-and-forth? >> there is all this finger-pointing and different theories. some democrats are arguing there was no way for harris to ever win. that this cake was baked much earlier when fighting decided to stay in the race and sort of that set off this series of problems. the democrats, they failed on so many levels in

this election. they lost basically every demographic group. they lost the popular vote and seemed to lose the messaging war entirely. the amount of reckoning they have to do around who they are as a party and where they're going is pretty significant. i think they all acknowledge that. they seem to have no way to connect with a lot of folks with an economic message and they have to figure that out. >> nancy pelosi, the former house speaker saying she does think people talked about kitchen table issues. >> they certainly did not hear it. >> that is the bottom line. thank you. coming up, the fight for control republican senators vying to be the next majority leader. who donald trump says he wants to see in that role. plus, dangerous wildfires burning. crews working to get a blaze underway in the northeast. and is a cease-fire in gaza on hold? why some

critics claim israel has no incentive to get that done. >> the israeli government wants to do a deal to get its citizens at home. i think it is doing that deal to try to secure israel.

welcome back. as donald trump prepares to return to the white house israel is intensifying it strikes on gaza. at least 41 palestinians were killed on sunday. at least half were children. one of the targets a home in northern gaza. the idea tell cnn it was a terrorist infrastructure

strike. as of the close relationship between trump and benjamin netanyahu critics claim the prime minister has no incentive to agree to a cease-fire and hostage deal just yet. >> what makes you think in these final days of the biden administration that benjamin netanyahu would agree to peace in gaza or lebanon and not hold onto that political capital for the new president? >> prime minister netanyahu will make his decisions and he will speak to his decisions. in gaza it is not israel standing in the way of a cease-fire and hostage deal, it is hamas. >> on sunday the israeli prime minister confirm he has spoken to president-elect trump three times in recent days saying that they see eye to eye on the iranian threat and all its assets. max foster joins us live from london. good morning to you. the timing of this possibly very much dependent on when donald trump takes office. is netanyahu basically waiting

to undertake any cease-fire or hostage release deal until then? >> it is difficult to tell. benjamin netanyahu is very good at the optics. anything that he puts out there shows them in a positive light. when it comes to agreeing to a peace deal it all comes down to detail in the middle east and can these two actually agree on the detail. there is difference in their views. donald trump quite recently said he wasn't pushing for a regime change in iran, absolutely fundamental to what netanyahu believes is the answer to future peace in the middle east. when it comes down to the detail will they be bogged down? the big risk for netanyahu is impatience on the

side of donald trump. he has made it very clear the priority is to bring peace to that region. he wants it done quickly. that is very difficult to do in the middle east. is going to be a long gift on the details. >> physically impossible over centuries now. max, one of the things donald trump has talked about on the campaign trail over and over again was preventing world war iii. a quick reminder, this was him in reading, pennsylvania. watch. >> i will stop the chaos in the middle east. >> you would have peace . instead you have all of the death that is taking place. it is terrible. i will prevent world war iii. you are just behind is around the corner and this would be a nuclear war. >> my question for you is how

does western europe see that as they grapple with the new geopolitical realities of this? >> if you speak to academics world war iii is by grace, but not necessarily specifically because of ukraine or middle east or what is happening in asia-pacific. somehow they blow up and it all comes together. somehow when you talk about world war iii it does come between china and the u.s. it is china support of russia that would give it its power. in the middle east you have iran allied with russia, which is supported by china. there are many different movements here. he was referring to world war iii directly in terms of the middle east. would there be a world war iii if the middle east blows out of proportion? a lot of experts say that it would not be the case. you

know, the world order that we have talked about, you do see these alignments crossing from europe and asia and it is concerning that you have to china access supported by north korea, iran and russia on one side and a we can europe on america's side. >> extraordinarily complicated. this is something we heard from republican voters over and over again that clearly they trust trump to prevent a world war iii, so to speak. obviously we are all about to find out how that question is going to be answered. >> obviously there was a lot of diplomats on this side of the pond were very concerned about donald trump coming in and what it meant for diplomatic diplomacy. this is the one you can do deals with and make direct transactions with. i think now that the reality of

trying to figure out what you would do with a trump administration and looking back at his previous administration, was that warmongering? probably not. a lot of diplomats think it was a very peaceful presidency. working through the future is the difficult part was donald trump. we don't always know where he is going. >> we do not. max foster, thank you so much for being here. dangerous fire conditions from coast-to-coast as wildfires rage out of control in drought stricken areas of california and new jersey. plus, control of the house to let grabs but republicans are inching closer and closer to a clean sweep.

22 minutes past the hour. it is veterans day in america. president biden and vice president harris will dissipate in a wreath laying ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier. the veterans day event their first public event together since last week's election. justice sonia sotomayor or does not have plans to step down from the supreme court according to people close to her. some have suggested she should leave her pulse before biding should replace her before he leaves office. a new jersey man charged with sparking a 350 acre wildfire over the weekend.

officials say the man use a illegal shock got around. meanwhile a separate wildfire burning more than 2500 acres along the new york-new jersey border is burning out of control. an 18-year-old volunteer for his ranger died battling the flames. today rain in the northeast lessening the fire risk in some parts. conditions getting concerning in california where the mountain fire is burning. let's get to those fires burning across the country. >> good morning. we have been tracking wildfires all weekend. 3000 acres burning in that jennings creek fire. we did have beneficial rain moving through over the night and it is still working its way, really light. you can see where

we have some of the rain come through overnight it didn't really amount to much. we got well less than an inch of rain. when you talk about whether a fax on wildfires, strong winds pickup the embers and send them other places. about half an inch a rank and stop the spread. it helped overnight, but you really need more than two inches to start to distinguish these fires. the drought conditions, more than half of the northeast in drought conditions since the beginning of fall. we've got not much rain since september 1. the rain deficit in so many of these places more than seven or eight inches. really needing some of the rain. the wind gusts will start to pick up as we go into tomorrow so the fire risk could increase on tuesday. that is still not contained. >> all right, thank you very much. still ahead, the

president-elect's plans for ukraine and russia. donald trump is valid to end the war in one day. what would it take to see that through? plus the race to replace mitch mcconnell. a role that will be one of the most powerful positions in a republican dominated washington. we have to be the change. that is what business guys do.

will

5:30 a.m. on the east coast. a live oak on capitol hill with a 5 for leadership he did not in the senate. good morning, everyone. i am kasie hunt. in just two days senate republicans will pick mitch mcconnell successor. over the weekend president-elect donald trump issued a new demand for whoever would ultimately fill the role. try posting the next leader must support recess appointments. it is a way for the president to get around minority opposition to his pics. while all three of the top contenders quickly signal support, one figure has emerged as a favorite among key trump allies. elon musk, rfk junior and others publicly endorsing florida senator rick scott for the role. trump is not endorsed

anyone yet. on wednesday the senate g.o.p. would hold a secret ballot election to decide who will win the power to control legislation and yield power over those key cabinet confirmations. here was senator rick scott making his pitch over the weekend. >> we have to be the change. that is what business guys do. i am a deal guy. >> welcome to both of you and thank you for being here. michael, let me start with you. big picture here. we know two of these guys who have been in the running long-standing members of the republican congress on the hill and longtime members of leadership. in some ways they are much younger than mitch mcconnell, but they represent the old guard a little more than rick scott does. what do you make of

the fact that john thune came out and said recess appointments are fine. what does it say to you about the fate of the race? >> that it is donald trump's party. it may not matter who he wants in this position. you can show the president-elect is already yielding power. within minutes of putting out this demand all three fell into line. whoever it is is probably someone who was willing to carry favor. is going to be a key dealmaking partner. this is still a tight race. a lot of trump's allies are endorsing rick scott. he was the one seen as having the closest relationship with the president-elect. john thune getting in the president-elect' 's crosshairs when he endorsed tim scott and rejected to the effort or did not get on board with the efforts to reject the election in 2020.

there are certainly some different sites being taken. the key is that it is a secret ballot. trump and his allies and with much bidding as they want. at the end of the day nobody is ever going to know. that shakes things up. >> you have done a lot of reporting about mega media influence because all of these outside folks including elon musk and rfk are trying to get a word in edge wise. >> when you're hearing from elon musk and tucker carlson these are people who are very influential. they are people trump himself listens to. the concern that i have heard from people on the hill and people following this very closely is the real power comes from if they are able to convince trump himself to make a decision, to put his thumb on the scale in this leadership race. to michael's point, the fact that this is a secret ballot means a lot of this noise on line might

not matter. traditionally this has been a race that has been very internal. it is built on relationships. it is a popularity contest. the moments of matters and it has certainly given rick scott a real booze. he was not seen as a real contender up until now and it shake things up internally. there is still a lot to see. it could ultimately not sway how senators decide to cast their vote on wednesday. >> what is a tension between how well scott is or is not liked inside the conference versus this outside pressure from the m.a.g.a. world? >> rick scott mounted a bid against mitch mcconnell and only got 10 boats. mitch mcconnell has been the republican leader since 2007. people respect his leadership .

tim both isn't really much to show for even if you have close allies in the senate. before president-elect trump was on his way to the white house a lot of people were laughing off his bid. he wasn't seen as a real power player. but now with trump in the white house and rick scott seen as the one who has the best relationship with the president-elect now folks are saying maybe this could be a dark horse candidate. it all gets back to this idea of the secret ballot. trump could get involved. his allies could keep pushing, but it depends on how senators take to the recommendation when they get to that balance secretly. >> i went at the question where do rick scott supporters go after the first ballot on wednesday? do they decide to vote as a group and get behind cornyn or get behind thune. watching where the supporters

might go if rick scott does not make it through the first round on wednesday will be critical to who ultimately wins this thing. >> how much difference is there between cornyn and thune in terms of m.a.g.a. world? do they see a big difference? >> some folks have said that cornyn has a better relationship. again, thune did not get on board with those efforts to reject the election results and he also went ahead and endorsed tim scott. cornyn took a minute to endorse trumpet did not endorse one of his opponents. trump said this guy is going to be out of congress. that did not end up coming to fruition. obviously he is still serving. john thune probably has a little more bad blood trump world. they have tried to mend fences,

campaigning, appear with one another's. -- one another. of course when looking at these three so closely you're going to look at the context and the history. >> and donald trump doesn't really forget a lot of things. once this is settled the biggest question is going to be confirming trump's nominees. the morning after the election i interview marco rubio to ask about one of the more possibly how should we say controversial possible pics for trump, watch what he said. >> i think the senate is going to get great deference to a president who just won a electoral college landslide and he is being given a mandate to govern. i think president given a mandate to govern reserve from the senate the opportunity to surround themselves with people who are going to help them execute policy. >> what do you expect in terms of the willingness of the

senate to vote to confirm someone like rfk junior who has , i mean, take your pick of controversial realities in their past the previously would be an absolute no go? >> i think it depends on the pics. options have been on the table who are certainly controversial figures and they are not going to have an easy time getting through the senate, not only with people like susan collins on the republican side, but of course having to win over democrats to get them across online. i think it's notable that trump is already trying to hedge for that, asking for the leader candidates to commit indicates trump expects there to be a hard time to get the people through that he wants in positions of power and he is looking for ways to get around that. >> republicans may have this majority, which is big compared to what we have, but you still have people like lisa

murkowski, susan collins, the tom young's of the world. folks who are no big fans of trump have gone against them in the past and i don't think that was shy away from doing it again. while they have this majority there is a 60 vote threshold and you will need democrats to get a lot done, but you also have the small but loud contingent of senate republicans who may not want to careen into the president-elect's corner on every single matter. that is definitely a power bond to pay attention to. >> thank you for being with us. straight ahead, why the incoming trump administration's plans are causing concerns for some european leaders. plus an epic comeback win or the detroit lions in the bleacher report up next.

before i even arrived at the oval office i will have the disastrous war between russia and ukraine settled. it would take no longer than one day. >> donald trump promising to swiftly end russia's war against ukraine as tens of thousands prepare for a long scale assault. the russian forces joined by thousands of north korean troops. the offensive inspected to begin in days and comes as questions world about the future of trump in office. the biden administration arguing abandoning ukraine now will have global implications.

>> president biden will have the opportunity to make the case of the congress and incoming administration that the united states should not walk away from ukraine. walking away means more instability in europe and ultimately as the japanese prime minister says, if we walk away from ukraine in europe the question to america's commitments our allies in asia will grow. >> on wednesday president biden will host trump at the white house. i have to say looking at the map especially and thinking through the russian offensive at this point, do you get the sense that russia wants to try to make this offensive? obviously holding territory has been difficult. this has been a war of attrition for the russians. with trump coming into office do they sent the willingness to basically draw lines around where the front is

at the moment trump comes into office to say this is how we resolve this? >> i'm not sure it will be that particular point. the key question will be how will north korean soldiers be employed? if they pursue a strategy of hot pursuit across the ukrainian border that is a different question and i think it becomes one of those situations where the russians are bent on more territorial gains than they currently have. i am not sure it is actually going to be when trump assumes office or now or whether it is a place where the russians are going to actually have an advantage territorially and gain more territory than what they already have. that is probably going to be what the russians try to do. >> let's listen to the former special envoy to ukraine who without talking about the way that trump and putin are interacting or not on the world stage. let's watch.

>> he has also not criticize vladimir putin. he has not said this is a russian aggression that needs to stop. my view is the reason why he is not criticizing putin is because he knows he ultimately has to reach a deal with putin. he is not demonizing him. that does not mean he misunderstands the situation on the ground. >> do you agree? what do you make of what he is saying? >> there is definitely a place for diplomatic immunity. it is possible what trump is trying to do is in essence getting ready to talk to putin. however, there is a long history of trump cozying up to putin. think about helsinki, that becomes a real problem. based on the rhetoric and past actions in many cases you are looking at a situation where

what has actually happened here is trump is really in line with what putin's goals are. he has said he does not care what is going to happen to ukraine and what has happened to europe if the european countries do not pay 2% of gdp for n.a.t.o. those are the kinds of issues that are going to have to be resolved. it would be to trump's advantage to stand by ukraine in a strategic and military sense. his rhetoric does not match the knee. >> how do you think the politics of his m.a.g.a. base play into this? obviously in congress it has been really tough. >> will you look at the final vote tallies they have been fairly substantial in favor of ukraine aid. with this election people may interpret that as being a sign that they would not support ukraine or at least not as much as they have until

this point. it would be a huge strategic mistake. however they are not thinking about it that way. they are thinking short term political games and may very well be the case that the m.a.g.a. base has a lot to say about what happens in ukraine. >> what is your sense of how europeans are taking the stand? >> it seems like a lot of panic now. germany is about to undergo an election and the likelihood is the christian democratic union is going to take over. the candidate is a pro ukraine right of center candidate. that could potentially capitalize -- galvanize other nations to step into the breach where they do provide more support. it is one thing to say things politically. it is quite another to deliver the weapons

in the munitions. >> for sure. thank you. time now for sports. the chiefs somehow keep their unbeaten streak alive in the most dramatic fashion. this morning's bleacher report. >> good morning. the broncos came this close to knocking off the n.f.l.'s last undefeated team and picking up the first win in nearly a decade. those cheats keep finding ways to win. denver led nearly the entire way thanks to a pair of touchdown passes. the chiefs kept plugging away and finally took the lead with a short field goal with under six minutes ago. in field goal range the setup kicker for the potential game-winning 35 yarder. it is blocked. arrowhead stadium goes well. patrick mahomes cannot contain his emotion. 16-14 they win.
