human services. just ask the cochair of his transition team. >> you're saying he's not going to be -- >> no! >> that was just two weeks ago. he just picked r.f.k. jr. not for the advisory role psalm had expected but to run a department overseeing the national institute of health, the center for disease control, all of it and more, giving him the authority to do what canada trump said he would let him do. >> i am going to let him go wild on health, on the food, on medicine. >> kennedy is well known for backing the debunked claim that childhood vaccines cause autism and has supported covid conspiracy theories. >> covid-19, there is an argument that it is ethnically

targeted. it attacks certain races disproportionately. covid-19 is targeted to attack caucasians and black people. the people who are most amusing i ask a -- ask analogy jews and chinese. >> kennedy claimed he meant to say the united states and other governments were developing ethnically targeted bio weapons. he is also known for an us with wildlife whether it's cutting that hat off of a dead whale and scrapping it to the family car. or a decade ago picking up a bear caucus and dumping it in new york's central park one is a ran long. >> the bear was in my car. i didn't want to leave the bear

in my car. that would have been bad. then i thought at that time, this was a little bit of the redneck in me. there have been mysterious bicycle accidents in new york. they had just put in the bicycle names. people had gotten killed. people had gotten badly injured every day. i sent last go put the bear and central park. >> yes, that was roseanne barr that he was talking to. yes, any one of the items might have doomed any other nominee. he is who donald trump wants. having delivered the senate he may have the clout to get it. and tulsi gabbard despite concerns about how she has echoed russian propaganda over the years. and pete hegseth . even

matt gaetz as attorney general who just left congress days ahead of the ethics committee report. on all of that here is what one sitting reporting lawmaker told cnn. i had a horrible nightmare gaetz was appointed a.g. and woke up and gaetz was appointed as a.g. there is not enough popcorn in america for these confirmation hearings. a lot to get to, including remarks from the president-elect. caitlin clark is here to start us off. as always you are out in front of all of this. how did the president elect come to pick r.f.k. jr. and what are the chances of his confirmation? >> after judging by the shock of yesterday's today was more like an expectation from trump world and the sources who have been there. r.f.k. jr. has been in palm beach basically nonstop since the election. what was really clear, especially after

the interview that idea where he very unequivocally said r.f.k. jr. would not be getting a cabinet position. that is maybe what led to today. it caused a huge uproar entirely. >> so you did this? >> i don't want to take any credit for this. people were upset that 10 days before the election he was so bluntly saying who was getting what job. r.f.k. jr. was upset himself because he and trumpet had discussions. trump has said that he would let him go crazy on health policy. it was pretty clear that the writing was on the wall. they talked about a health czar role. but this is another incident of trump basically daring defendant is a block my nominee. he has put up pick after pick that has caused a lot of skeptical republicans to say let's wait and see how the confirmation hearing goes. they fully expect all of these

picks to get confirmed. they are not putting these up as a false flag to the input someone up that is less controversial. they fully believe all of these people could get confirmed in very well might. >> all of them which would include matt gaetz. what have you learned about how trump came to pick matt gaetz and how they plan to get them through a confirmation process which they now know is going to be tough and maybe tougher by the minute. >> of the writing was on the wall the opposite happened with the attorney general pick. i was talking people on monday night who said his name never came up as they were deciding who he was going to pick. i reported that night trump was not happy with any of his choices. he was brought these more conventional candidates. no one was a favorite. no one checked all the boxes. obviously it is the position he cares about the most, besides his. he basically was unhappy and flew with matt gaetz to washington the next morning and

offered it on the plane. it shocked people who stay back at mar-a-lago and were not a part of that contingency of people who went to washington. it speaks to how quickly he is making these decisions. but also that is fully the candidate that he believes should be there pursuing and fulfilling his agenda. obviously he wants to purge career staffers and he wants retribution carried out. >> will have more on that confirmation process which does not appear to be getting any easier. other pix were announced today. any that jumped out as surprising including some of donald trump's private attorneys getting picked for the justice department. >> i think in a different world if joe biden was president-elect and had just picked his personal defense attorneys, one to be the number two at the justice department, which is what trump did today by picking todd blanche, who has defended him in many cases but most notably the criminal hush-money trial in new york.

in a normal world that might cause uproar. i think because of the other pix it is not really causing any consternation from the republicans. todd blanche my get confirmed easily. he's also picked his other attorney as the principal deputy attorney general. they do a lot of work at the dlj. and also john sauer who you will remember argue trump's presidential immunity. if he is confirmed he will be picked as the solicitor general. it is not just one or two, it is three trump attorneys now being tapped. they have much different qualifications and they may be just fine in confirmation hearings. but it does speak to the moment that we are in that he picks his defense attorneys and it goes over and no one really says anything. >> they do have experience as big-time prosecutors.

>> top lands work that the southern district of new york and obviously john sauer has deep litigation experience as well. >> caitlin, thank you for being here tonight. now to talk about this proposed nomination of robert f. kennedy jr. peer -- and also with us dr. sanjay gupta . is robert kennedy qualified for this job? >> i would say no. organizational management experience. over 83,000 employees and $1.7 trillion budget. he has never worked directly with congress or a legislative body. many of the previously secretaries have been governors and robert very closely with h.h.s.. h.h.s.

sends more money to states than all the other domestic agencies combined. as you said at the top, it is responsible for the public health of the country, leading the public health in the world. the gold standard for research. about a third of american health insurance with medicare, medicaid and the marketplace is. mental health, the agency on aging, agencies on unaccompanied minors, children and families. it is a very broad and very important agency. to have someone coming into a scientific agency that is a vaccine skeptic and may well undo decades of public health work, i think it is terrifying for the american public who rely on h.h.s. from cradle to grave for resources, information, public health, oversight of our food and

medicines. that to me is a very frightening aspect for the american public. >> you had encounters with robert f kennedy in the past. what were they like? >> i took some courtesy meetings with him. he went several times to the c.d.c. and the f.d.a. suggesting that their evidence was faulty and that he had evidence of his own, all of which was debunked and refuted about vaccines. he insisted that i fire people. that they were lying to me. that i really wasn't getting the truth. that did not approve in my mind to be at all true. what i am most frightened about is he comes not with a query. not with suggesting that we should look at two different points of view. he has made a determination with no scientific background. as far as i can determine, no evidence

that supports his views. he is very willing to assert them as if they are facts. that is very dangerous in a agency where people take the recommendations of the experts and try to follow them to keep themselves and their families safe and secure. if sanjay, given everything what are the impacts possible of the views that we know he holds? >> it was almost too big to fathom. when you talk about c.d.c., f.d.a., nih, and as secretary sebelius was talking about, the center for medicare and medicaid it is just about every health decision made in this country. i think the vaccine issue gets a lot of attention and rightfully so. a lot of times if you have preventative health if nothing happens that is good. that doesn't get a lot of attention. if you are a child born between 1994 and 2023 and got vaccinated about 1 million deaths were prevented because

of vaccines. we are seeing a distrust. we are starting to see searches in vaccine preventable diseases. but also you just talked about i am going to reimburse for these things in medicare or i no longer think those things should be reimbursed. people will start getting denied care. there are all these ripple effects potentially if he gets this position. that is a big if, i think. if he does i think it is a huge consequence. >> what guardrails are in place at h.h.s. if he does get it? >> i think anybody who comes into one of these major agencies relies on the expertise of the incredible talent of government officials, who have made a choice that they are not going to be paid at market value. they are dedicated to the mission of the agency they believe in. the

guard rails in large part are the people who are there and the expertise they bring to the job. no secretary could ever manage even one of these agencies much less 11 simultaneously. bobby kennedy has declared he intends to stop firing people. pack your bags if you don't share his views on various things was part of his rhetoric on the campaign trail. that is a terrifying way to go into a department where you really do not know the people, you don't know the assets or the impact they are going to have. if people began leaving those key agencies, leaving the f.d.a. which is responsible for safety and effectiveness of drugs, leaving medicare and medicaid services, leaving n.i.h. because research is being intervened with them the guardrails are down. the

secretary also has a lot of influence about who will head those agencies. he can make recommendations about secondary leaders. >> sanjay, what are you hearing? >> it is interesting, john. you never hear them being lockstep on anything. with regard to this they pretty much are. the challenge is when he talks about making america healthy again people can really get behind that. we spent 4 1/2 trillion dollars on healthcare and we have some of the worst outcomes in the developed world. that is a problem and he has -- is not the first person to talk about this. the idea that he could draw more attention to something that i think has significant support. the problem with him contorting these conversations into true cause-and-effect relationships,

vaccine and autism, whatever it might be. that is the problem. how much that extends into other decisions that he makes is where it becomes problematic. >> dr. sanjay gupta, we will see you again in a little bit. secretary sebelius, we really appreciate it. the president-elect speaking momentarily from mar-a-lago.

all right. as we wait for the president-elect to speak we are talking about his recent appointments, and the potential confirmation challenges some may face. most notably gatt -- matt gaetz as attorney general and robert f. kennedy jr.. with us now senator chris . i want to focus and aids perspective nomination. how important is it for the judiciary committee to see the house ethics report on gaetz and do you have any recourse to get it if the committee does not want to turn it over? >> i think it is critical. every major nominee who comes

before us, we get a thorough background report. someone like congressman matt gaetz who has been the subject of a probe, we should get access to the documents and the report that was about to be released. he has just resigned from the house in order to prevent the release of the report. i have joined all the other democrats in sending a letter to the house ethics committee asking them to preserve the documents and to send the reports to us. several have said that they think we should have access. this is a critical test for whether or not the senate will continue to use its advice and consent power that is in the constitution and critical to our role as a guard rail. when president-elect trump won he

gets the mandate to choose the folks he wants for his cabinet. the way that our constitution is written the senate has a role to make sure he doesn't pick any old person. that he doesn't put the my pillow guy in charge of the f.a.a., but that the people who are nominated are qualified, experienced, and have policy views that probably align with what we can all agree is in the best interest of the country. >> your democratic colleague says he personally knows 5-10 who are seriously considering voting against gaetz. does that sound accurate? >> i have spoken with a number of colleagues who work greatly concerned or alarmed about why matt gaetz was nominated and about his qualifications. our challenge in the coming days will be the gap between billing concern, expressing concern and being willing to demand a

confirmation hearing and to vote against one of president trump's nominees. that will be the real test. >> what about the possibility of an enron maybe through recess appointments? tonight on fox john thune said it would depend on whether democrats want to play ball or not. how do you interpret that? >> here is what i hope he means by that. there are nominees like senator marco rubio who has been nominated to be secretary of state who i think will do very well in a confirmation hearing. he has the requisite experience and qualifications. he served on the foreign relations and intelligence committee for many years. he knows and understands the function of the state department. we may have significant differences in policy, but i don't think there is a question he could be secretary of state. i think that he will get a prompt and appropriate confirmation hearing. if what senator thune

means is he will use recess appointments to jim and to place nominees who cannot get 50 votes in the senate, that is not good for the future and the health of the senate. i remind you in the next senate there will likely be 53 republicans. if president trump cannot get 50 votes out of 53 republicans that should say something. >> we appreciate your time tonight. thank you so much. i should note that we have seen donald trump at mar-a-lago. you can see him when the lights come up. he is preparing to speak to a room full of supporters very shortly. we will bring you the speech as soon as it began spirit with us now adam kinzinger, and anna navarro. congressman, this house ethics committee report which is completed as far as we

know. we actually just learned republicans and democrats were supposed to meet on friday to talk about it. that meeting has been canceled. do you think we will see it and what impact do you think it will have on the possible senate confirmation? >> i think we are going to see it. i think the pressure is going to be too great. if all the shoes were on the other foot republicans would be screaming about transparency. we need to see this. if gaetz was just going away i think you can make an argument for he is out of the house, don't release it. now that he is up for the number one law enforcement position in this country and he is being accused of sexual assault or statutory and supposedly this person has testified it happened, that is something american people deserve to know. i think that it will torpedo his nomination

in a heartbeat. i don't think he gets through that. my concern is that the president tries to do a recess appointment. that would give 210 days of a big middle finger to the american people. >> what impact should that ethics report have sentiments voting on the next attorney general? >> every single person that has been confirmed to be attorney general, people going into the cabinet, they get extensive background checks. on some basic level rather it is simply for the ethics report to be given to the senators or rather it's going to be forcing the senate to talk -- conduct their own internal investigation at some point we're going to end up with some sort of fact-finding mission. ultimately the president of the united states is allowed to choose . i think if you're going to be fighting to preserve the filibuster, the

electoral college, these institutional norms that have capped the guard rails on society from the beginning of time i think you have to continue that. president trump has a mandate. >> you may have lost her opportunity to serve on the trump cabinet. anna, republican senators, how willing are they to stand up to the president and on what exactly? >> yet to be seen. how often have we heard about republican senators, republicans in congress say privately x,y or z and do something completely different publicly? this is after trump just won this pretty sizable victory. i think what you're seeing is a donald trump who feels empowered and feels that he has carte blanche. this idea of having the majority of the senate, the majority of the house, he's

got immunity from the supreme court. that tells him he doesn't have to think about whether these people can get confirmed or not. he is counting on them to be confirmed. he is counting on the republicans in the senate being on his leash. >> tulsi gabbard, a little lost in the shuffle in the last days with the naming . we see donald trump getting ready to speak and we will take that momentarily. what questions do you have about tulsi gabbard running the entire intelligence apparatus of the country? >> look, tulsi is very pro- andy beshearwho was committing genocide against his people. the only congressman to visit. she has been very critical of russia. when japan gave aid she

basically reminded americans japan attacked us to start world war ii. it's very concerning. there are a lot of people concerned about the relationship she has with russia. putting somebody like that in charge of all of america's secret -- secrets. if government is just a game and it's like let's put people that make the left mad that is probably the president's prerogative to do it. the american people are not going to be very happy about it. >> i think scott jennings said to me a day or two after the election. this is so different than 2016 were there were people who were hesitant. trump can get anyone he wants to serve in this candidate -- cabinet. people with the largest experience in any subject he wants but he picks tulsi gabbard, matt gaetz, and

robert kennedy . >> i think the reality is you have the right to pickle he wants. i think there is a tenure of disrespect that extensive these nominees that i think would not be accepted if it were the other way around. >> let's listen. >> you know, sly, he doesn't do that. i want to thank you and john voigt for being here. the great fight movie. sly has alot of them. you know and ef hutton, her husband at the time, when they built mar-a-lago many years ago, the roaring 20s. we are hotter right now than they ever were. we are going to keep it going. we are not going to have 1929 happen. although if it would have continued the way it was it might not have been too good. when they built it nobody knew what was going on. nobody knew real luxury. they didn't

know anything. they learned a hard lesson in 1929. we are going to turn our country around. we are going to make it so great. so strong. so powerful. we are going to bring it all back. i want to thank some people who have been so instrumental in terms of not only policy. robbins who put this on linda mcmahon. linda has been a great friend for a long time. i want to thank you very much. the america first policy institute, what a job they've done. i said the policy is much more important if we do it for eight years then if we do it for 4. i said let's do this. let's get out and let's win the election. nobody knew that we were going to win it the way we won it. that was really great. javier,

i would like to congratulate you on the job that you have done for argentina. make argentina great again. he's a m.a.g.a. person. he is doing that. he just happens to work with e.a. that when we don't have to worry about. you have done a fantastic job in a short amount of time and it is an honor to have you here. also, speaker mike johnson, thank you, mike. just in case i said look, i want to tell you that i am behind this man 100%. he got 100% of the vote from republicans, are you sure? he's doing a great job. we had

one little period where we have a majority of one. that was not pretty. you handled it beautifully. that was a great vote that you got yesterday. congratulations, mike. members of congress, all of whom voted for mike. they've been my friend. we have a lot of them outside and a lot of them coming over the weekend. byron donalds, what a star. thank you, byron. ronny jackson, he's been a lot of things. he was my doctor. he was a highly respected admiral. a great doctor at the white house. now he is a very popular congressman. he won by 48 points. when he was out my doctor they asked him the question, the fake news, which is here. oh, that is alive.

they said can we come in? i said we have nothing to hide as republicans. they asked ronnie, he was up in the podium, who is the healthiest? he was the doctor for barack hussein obama, donald trump, and bush also. they said who was the healthiest of them all? he said without question is donald trump. i said i like that guy. he's doing great. jason smith is here, our great congressman. and mike waltz who's going to be doing some other work for us in the future. he's going to be doing a great job in the administration. and i promised that i wouldn't be taking too many more before we start counting the votes. i just like the people in congress, mike. don't worry about it. just

relax. we have a man who has a seriously high iq. you know i am a person who believes in high iqs and he is is about as high as it gets. he launched a rocket three weeks ago and then he went to pennsylvania to campaign because he consider this more important. elon musk . [ applause ] >> elon , what a job. what a job he does. he happens to be a really good guy. he likes this place. i can't get him out of here. you know what, i like having him here. he has done a fantastic job. really an incredible mind. an unbelievable entrepreneur. i asked what do you do best? we were not able to figure it out. another one who is another

great mind, a great guy and so popular. i think he's right, he wants to make people healthy and it's driven him pretty wild over the last number of years. the democrats did not treat him well. he was doing fantastically well and i think they came out with some rule. you have to get 70%-75% of the vote to qualify to be in the primary. he was doing incredibly well. he went independent and is now with us all the way. today i nominated him for, i guess if you like health and people who live a long time it is the most important position. r.f.k. jr.. bobby. [ applause ] >> i just looked at the news report. people like you, bobby. don't get too popular, bobby. you've reached about the

level. no. we want you to come up with things and ideas and what you been talking about for a long time. i think that you are going to do some unbelievable things. nobody is going to be able to do it like you. congratulations also to your family. a woman who was a democrat and then went independent. last week she said i want to be a republican. this is what i stand for. i have always admired her. she was loaded up with common sense. it was all about common sense. we are conservative in this room, but we can understand the other side. what we really are is people with common sense. i think that is why we won with the numbers that we won by. tulsi gabbard, thank you, tulsi . and you have vivek ramaswamy,

it has taken people a long time. now that name is emblazoned into their brain. where are you, vivek? he's working with elon on efficiency. they are working on efficiency among other things. they are going to be making our country stronger and better. they will be coming out with individual reports. a big one toward the end. it's going to be really great. we look forward to seeing and working with elon. you're going to learn something from elon. thank you very much. and great job. what you have done is fantastic. somebody that i have admired for a long time, but i've really gotten to know him in my political life, especially over the last year more than ever before. we had a tremendous success my first

term and then bad things happened and we have to wait. i could not wait. i would say they are not going to help us. they are not going to save this country. it really dawned on me about 10 days out. i said wait a minute, all of a sudden it was 10 days. every day seemed so long. i knew by the crowds we were getting it was going to be something. newt gingrich got up and said this is a very special thing that is happening. nobody has ever had crowds. they just wanted hope. they wanted something. they just didn't want what they had. nobody expressed it more beautifully. thank you, newt. it was really beautiful. carissa, thank you very much. the american people have just delivered really something very

amazing. the biggest political victory in 129 years. can you believe that, newt? they said the most consequential election. i love that word. it is a beautiful word. the most consequential election in the last 129 years. we swept all swing states. we won the popular vote. oh, i love that. you know, in the last one, in my first term they said he won the election, they always follow by he didn't win the popular vote. that's what they say. and we won the popular vote by records. nobody can say that anymore about us. i

didn't win, the people won. the great people of our country won the popular vote. this was something really special. won the white house, recaptured the senate. as of today recaptured the house. thank you very much, congressman. on track, it looks like we have it. the largest margin in the national vote in presidential years since 1928. that is interesting. that is when this house was built. that is when it was completed. something that i just read here and saw from one of our friends from the news, from the media, i didn't know this. we won 49 out of 50 states shifted toward the g.o.p. significantly. that is a big number. so we won the

largest share of black and hispanic vote of any republican in the history of our country, recorded history of our country. think of that, the largest share. that is so incredible. there unbelievable people. we respect and admire them. they have been through a lot. they like us. it wasn't easy. if you take a look at the border of texas, the governor called me up and he said you won every single town on the border. these towns were always blue. they were a dark, strong blue. we won every single town up-and-down the border. we won with married women. what about unmarried women? what happened to unmarried women? we won half of all ages, more than 50% of the 18-29-year-olds, the highest number in many decades.

we are watching the president-elect speak at his mar-a-lago club. this is the most we have heard from him out loud since his election night victory speech. mostly just thanking supporters, mostly going over the same policy he did on the stump. in the meantime i am joined by carl bernstein. one of the things he did do was point out many of the people he says he will nominate to the cabinet including robert kennedy junior. matt gaetz wasn't in the room, but he talked about tulsi gabbard and others. these are picks that many people see as controversial. isn't this

what donald trump said that he was going to do to shake things up? >> absolutely. it is really important to recognize that these appointments are intended to destroy. to destroy the established order of political, social and cultural in this country such as we know going back to the new deal. that is what this candidate promised and that is what he is doing. the radical nature is something we have not seen in our time. we should pay attention to what he said in the campaign because tulsi gabbard . because matt gaetz. because bobby kennedy junior represents what he wants and what the m.a.g.a. movement is about. it is a total departure with established norms in this country. it is a departure such as we have never seen. donald trump has pulled this off. he intends to pursue

exactly what he promised. that is what we are seeing and what those appointments are about. it is a new day that has really draconian implications for this country, particularly in the rule of law, the obeisance to the constitution of the united states. donald trump has never spent a minute considering. >> donald trump just finished speaking. in those amounts -- announcements he did announce he is going to nominate doug burgum to be secretary of interior, compared to some of the other announcements he's had an extraordinarily mainstream and somewhat traditional pick. matt gaetz, you talked about in your view these are picks meant to destroy. talk to me about how in your mind that is meant to

destroy. you have had experience with some attorney generals who were controversial. john mitchell. >> who was a crook and the law partner of the president of the united states and behind a lot of the conspiracies. matt gaetz is someone with no legal experience except what congress and the justice department was thinking throwing at him. he is a statement made by donald trump about trump's beliefs that he has been victimized by the justice department. he is going to use gaetz as an instrument of revenge. if gaetz is not confirmed there will be another attorney general intended to do the revenge for donald trump. trump has told us everything he is going to do. our job, the press particularly is to follow the stories in terms of what he promised and what he is doing. watch what we

do not what we say. that is what john mitchell said. in this instance we need to watch what donald trump said and then follow-up in terms of what he is doing. he is doing exactly what he promised. that is to create through m.a.g.a. a new social, cultural and political order in this country that is totally different. look at the great movement that we have seen, civil rights, the women's movement, the gay rights movements. look at what trump and these people are doing to undermine these movements. thank you so much for being here. voters in pennsylvania speak about why they voted for him. >> we are in and limestone cave.

this evening democrats are

still assessing what i lost last week. our gary tuchman recently spent time in a county that swung more to the right than any other. voters explain why they voted for trump and what they expect out of him now. >> reporter: marie noel is a mother of 3 and lives in pennsylvania which got so much attention as a key election battleground state. you told me you voted for donald trump this time around, you voted democratic joe biden four years ago. why did you switch? >> i feel trump is on is and he's the change this country needs. >> reporter: she lives in monroe county. in this election no county in the keystone state shifted more towards donald trump than monroe. then they have to trump narrowly winning after losing by more than six points four years ago. marie noel was part of that loop to red shift. what do you want to

see donald trump do? >> i want to see him take care of the border. too many immigrants come again, even though i am an immigrant. >> reporter: where are you from? >> i am from haiti. i came in the proper way. i feel like everyone should come in the proper way. >> how does it make you feel the way he talks about haitians? >> i think it's a shock value. i don't take it personal. i don't believe my country is bad. >> reporter: we ask other residents who either switched or didn't vote in 2020 but voted for him in 2024 what they want to see from him. emily rivera is a barista. >> i have never voted. i have a child and i want to see the future get better. i don't want to see people hate each other. i can understand why people think he incites hatred.

i think that's what people want you to think. >> reporter: she says education is our top issue. >> let's have the teachers be able to bring student education and set up teaching them things like pronoun and gender identity. >> reporter: gregory crockett is said retired and contributed to the shift by voting for this time around after not voting at all in 2020. >> i would like to see the economy become more stabilized. i would like to see the gouging on the prices come down. it's crazy when you purchase four pounds of ground beef and it is $30. >> reporter: we heard a lot about the economy. >> i need assistance. i need help. >> reporter: why do you think he would be more helpful? >> i just feel like he would do better. i trust him. >> reporter: why? >> it is just a feeling that i have.

>> back at the restaurant nicole rodriguez voted for kamala harris, but also has something she wants to see from donald trump. >> 1st and foremost i would like him to calm down the climate, bring us all back together. he is all of our president and not just one party. >> gary tuchman is here now. what else struck you? >> i talked to dozens of trump voters and we found very notable many told us we hope trump helps unite the country. it is a noble thought, but there was not excessive optimism about that possibility. >> great to have you on the ground talking to people. thanks so much. the news continues right here on cnn .
