buckingham palace have said they don't comment on security matters. is there a sense of how security around royals changed after some of those previous break ins? >> well, it's such a difficult issue to get information on, frankly, anderson because as soon as you ask the palace about it, they close down, as does the government as does all the various police forces involved here. that's for a very practical reason. they don't want to give those security arrangements away, but also because of the sheer cost of it. so it's by far the biggest cost to the public for having a royal family. the only estimate we've got is from the anti-monarchy group republic estimates it don't get much information on it, i'm afraid. >> all right, max foster, thanks so much. the news continues right here on cnn >> the attorney for two women who testified against matt gaetz is outfront tonight. one of the women says she saw gaetz having sex with her 17 year old

friend. as we are learning tonight, trump is personally calling senators to approve gaetz as attorney general. plus, more breaking news another day, another fox news personality named to trump's cabinet. we're going to tell you who it is today and russia threatening to wipe the u.s. off the map. after biden gave ukraine a green light to use u.s. missiles to strike deep inside russia. this is a ballet dancer. a ukraine war critic mysteriously falls out of a building to his death. let's go out front and good evening. >> i'm erin the breaking news more republicans demanding the house ethics committee report on trump's pick for attorney general matt gaetz be released to the public to see this. despite house speaker mike johnson's objections to letting the report see the light of day. well the committee the committee investigated allegations that gaetz, among many other things, had sex with a minor. and tonight, for the first time on cnn, we're going to hear from the attorney of two women who testified to the house committee. one of them

specifically said she saw gaetz having sex on an air hockey table with a 17 year old who she says was her friend. that alleged encounter, taking place at a party in 2017 at a florida house owned by a friend of matt gaetz. now, the house ethics committee is scheduled to meet on wednesday, and we are just learning that as of tonight all ten members of that committee now have access to the report. so that's ten people. and obviously starves. et cetera. the committee chair telling politico it will be his panel and his panel only that decides whether to release it. >> trump tonight meantime, is said to be all in on gaetz and cnn is now reporting that trump is calling senators personally to push them to confirm gaetz. as for gaetz himself, he continues to deny the allegations the person doesn't exist. >> i have not had a relationship with a 17 year old that is totally false. >> but there's the 17 year old issue, which is very deep and very serious. but in addition to that, there is a long list of concerns about gaetz.

remember that the ethics committee is investigating allegations that gaetz quote. let me just look at the full parameter here. engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, accepted improper gifts, dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship, and sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct. and many republicans have been very clear about their issues with gaetz and how he conducts himself he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl and there's a reason why no one in the conference came and defended him, because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the house floor, that all of us had walked away of the girls that he had slept with. >> he bragged about how he would crush ed medicine and chase it with with an energy drink so he could go all night what this is all about. >> manu raju is out front live

on capitol hill, and manu, you did just speak to the house speaker jeh johnson what did he tell you yeah, he defended his decision to oppose the release of the house ethics report to the senate judiciary committee or to the public to the public, even as support is growing among the senate gop for this to be released. >> now, he contended that donald trump has not pressured him. the speaker of the house, to stand in front of this report. he also told me that trump's advisers have not urged him to do so. he claimed that it would open up a pandora's box if this was released. but i mentioned to him that there is precedent to release reports of members who have resigned. he contends that if there is a former member this should not come out to the public. but this has happened in other cases in the past. he said that we are now in a quote, different era. now, i caught up with a number of senate republicans today who believe completely different. they believe this is essential to their decision making process, including one key senator, kevin cramer of north dakota, an ally of donald trump, who says it is time for the committee to release that

report to the senate judiciary committee before those critical hearings next year you want to see it? oh, i do, but i'm more importantly, i want the judiciary committee to be able to see it prior to the hearings. and then after that, depending on what happens, then of course, it could be released to to the, to the other members that are going to at some point have a vote. so that's been my my main point is that you have to, you know, determine whether or not the cost of getting them across the finish line is worth it, much less the possibility that he won't get across the finish line. >> but if he were, if this nomination were to go down and he tried to install him via recess appointment, would that be okay with you? >> well i think it would be very difficult to i just think it would be unwise to do that if he can't get the votes of the majority party, which is his party kevin cramer opposes the idea of installing him via a recess appointment. >> if gaetz were to come down. it would be rejected by the united states senate. that's

going to be a key point of contention if that's ultimately what happens here. but this all comes as donald trump himself is trying to pressure republican senators to fall in line, believing that ultimately he can get them to fall their way and here's another key point here, aaron. there are five members on the house ethics committee republican members. the question is will any one of them break ranks and side with democrats to vote to release that report? we don't know that yet, but we do know that some of those house republicans are weighing blocking. its release. >> all right, manu, thank you very much and joel leppard is now out front. >> as i said, he represents two women who testified in the house ethics committee probe into then congressman matt gaetz joel says both women claim gaetz paid them to have sex. one of the women also testified that she witnessed gaetz having sex with an underage girl. so, joel, i appreciate your time. thanks so much. assorted sorted, you know, set of topics here that we're all now discussing, but important. we're talking about what could be the future attorney general of the united states. so, um can you at least just start off with with what

happened here in this alleged account or, you know, when where what happened? >> so if you're referring to the encounter where my client testified to the house that she witnessed representative gaetz having sex with her friend, a minor, she was invited to a party in july of 2017. she testified to the house that as she was walking out to the pool area, she turned to her right and she witnessed her client. i'm sorry, her her friend, um, having sex with representative gaetz and her friend at that time was 17. >> and so um, and just to be clear, she knew this, that this young, this girl that then representative, congressman matt gaetz was having sex with on the table was underage because it was her friend. >> that's right. they'd been friends for several years from high school, from high school and that she was a high schooler at the time. i mean the her friend was still in high school correct. >> um okay. so did does your client have any idea as to whether matt gaetz knew she testified? >> yes so she testified to the

house that representative gaetz did not know her friend's age at the time they had sexual intercourse. and when he found out about her age that representative gaetz stopped having sexual intercourse with her, and he only started the sexual intercourse interactions later on when she turned 18. so then it continued again. that's correct. right. and how does your client know what matt gaetz knew about her friend's age you know, that's an interesting story. >> but essentially, she found out when they found out, they contacted her and at which point they seized communication with with the minor. >> and but we don't know you don't know whether he knew that he's having sex with a high school girl, whatever her age might be, whether she was technically 18 or 17. he could have known she was in high school. >> there were a lot of girls, it sounds like, at this party who were in that age range, your clients among them. >> right. but the testimony that my client gave was that she believed representative of gaetz did not know her age at

the time, that the minor was 17. >> okay so, um, but it's a party where this sort of thing is happening and just to be clear, your client's, um knew he had paid also your clients for sex. he was paying for sex. >> the testimony before the house was. yes. that representative gaetz paid my client both of my clients for sexual favors throughout the summer of 2017, all the way to the beginning of 2019. >> and how did he how did he pay them those were primarily through venmo and paypal payments. >> there was one payment through representative gaetz adopted son through his paypal. >> nestor adopted the adopted son. payments would come there to there was only one payment that was testified to um may i just ask? and your client's age, obviously was was technically over 18, right but within that same they were friends from high school, friends with friends from high school with the underage girl. >> that's right. they their boyfriends had dated each other in high school, and that's how

they became friends. >> and matt gaetz at the time is obviously in his he was he's 35. >> i believe. >> okay um, but he knew these the age of your your clients young i don't know if they knew their exact age, but most of the women at these events were in their um, you know, 19 to mid 20s. >> so there was a separate doj probe into gaetz, which included many allegations. right. but the doj probe looked specifically into allegations that gaetz had sex with a 17 year old girl. uh violating, they say, allegedly violating sex trafficking laws in terms of transporting this girl to travel with him. do you happen to know if that girl that the doj was probing is the same girl as the 17 year old girl that your client saw? gaetz having sex with? >> yes. that's the same person in question, she testified. i mean she's intimate with all the facts that took place, but that is the same individual that the and she did testify as to the doj investigation to the house, do you have has gaetz or

anyone affiliated with gaetz reached out to you or your clients since the nomination to ask for anything? >> no, not at all. >> not at all. so he's denied wrongdoing, as you know and was not charged by the doj. although, of course, the house ethics committee, um will wait and see whether we see the results of what that paper was, that report he was interviewed by tucker carlson, who asked him about the 17 year old. let me just play that for you joel. sure they're saying there is a 17 year old girl who you had a relationship with. >> is that true? and who are they who is this girl? what are they talking about? the new york times, the person doesn't exist. i have not had a relationship with a 17 year old that is totally false so you're 100% sure that that that he's lying there i'm not here to express that to call him a liar. but i can tell you that my client testified and she's friends with that individual, and they've been friends for several years. she testified to the house that that they both moved to colorado subsequently.

and in fact, they texted me and they're saying that they're watching it tonight. >> they're watching it tonight. so um gaetz wood did not face charges technically from the justice department in that case, and he's resting upon that. and as i said, there's a there's a deep layer here of a lot of things okay. it's not just about this one case, but this one case is in the focus right now on friday, a spokesman for gaetz said the doj cleared him. is that really what happened? >> so to be cleared of charges is you know, any first year law student can tell you that just because a career prosecutor who might have never lost a case decided not to bring charges for perhaps reasons that we don't know about doesn't mean that someone is innocent. it doesn't mean that they didn't do it as a criminal defense lawyer, we get tons of clients cases dismissed all the time. who absolutely, in fact, were guilty so it might make for a good soundbite. and in fact, if i were counseling representative gaetz, i would probably tell him to say the same thing. but that's absolutely not the case and i just want to go back to that again. >> as we say, the deep layers of this onion your client is at

a party. and throughout that summer is being paid. you're saying being paid her and you're more than client by matt gaetz for sexual favors while he's a representative in congress in his mid 30s. and these are young women, 18 to early 20s. this one was 17. and going to a party like this drugs people having sex on pool tables. that would be normal at that time. i don't know okay. so there were numerous events such as those they're not all happening at a pool table, but there were events at airbnbs. there were events at individuals houses. there were events that took place at political events. there was a trip to new york. there was a trip to the bahamas. so events like this did happen from time to time perhaps over ten times over the course of july 2017 to early january 2019. >> um and you're saying over ten times these are again, are parties where he would be paying clients such as yours for sex. >> the testimony was from the house that, yes they were paid by representative gaetz to have sex at these events. >> how damaging do you think it

will be if the house ethics committee report is released? joel. >> well, my clients want it to be released because they want the truth to be known, and they don't want everything that they have done to be in vain. they have been through a lot, i can tell you. and this has been an extremely trying time for them so i think once the the american people see what's in the report, they can decide for themselves if they think that representative gaetz is the best person for the job. all right. well, joel, i appreciate your time. and i know it had to have taken a lot for them to go through that and to go through that testimony thank you very much for taking the time to be with me thanks for having me and next we have breaking news. a top republican telling cnn they need to take a closer look at pete hegseth, trump's pick for secretary of defense after allegations of sexual assault tonight are kyung lah spoke to seth's accuser. plus trouble at mar-a-lago. trump reportedly frustrated with his transition chief elon musk is now butting heads with trump insiders and a crucial day in court. prosecutors are now revealing new details about the smartwatch belonging to laken

kyung lah is outfront now and kyung, i know you have new reporting about the alleged assault and the woman who accused hegseth of attacking her. tell me what you've just learned well erin, we did meet with the alleged victim, and we did speak with her but it was very briefly we do want to stress that cnn is not identifying this woman because she is the alleged victim of a sexual assault, but in that brief conversation, she was visibly distraught at the mention of his name. >> she said that she didn't know what she could say, and before saying anything, she had to consult with her attorney. and we have not heard back from her since that first meeting that i had with her. now pete hegseth attorney is telling cnn that this was not an assault at all, that this was a consensual act. he described that hegseth had paid this woman and that

there was a confidentiality clause in addition to the settlement payment. so what are we talking about? this was an event that happened on october in the early morning hours of october eighth, 2017. i want you to take a look at these photos. these are facebook photos that were posted by the california federation of republican women there's also a three page memo that describes what happened on this evening. it was given to the trump team and it was written by the friend of an alleged victim. this is a memo that cnn has obtained. we could not independently verify the allegations as laid out in this memo. again, written by a friend of the alleged victim, the memo describes the evening this way that hegseth was at the hotel bar. he became pushy with two women at the bar who then reached out to the woman who had become this alleged victim. she tried to mediate the situation and at that point her memory becomes hazy. in the evening, the next morning, she had a hazy memory of being

raped. she told her husband they went to the hospital and she took a rape kit. they called the police. it was four days after this event on the in the early morning hours of october eighth, 2017, police ultimately did not file charges against hegseth and we did request a report. the full police report, erin. the police would not make that public. erin. >> all right kyung, thank you very much. well, it sounds like that could be crucial to all of this. and understanding what happened here especially if he does. you know this this confirmation goes ahead. everyone's here with me. so, margaret, let me just start with you because, you know, pete hegseth you worked with him and have known him over a period of many years. so just in the context of this, i mean, you know what what was he like? what do you make when you hear an allegation like this? >> now, i want to be clear. i worked alongside pete hegseth on a project that he ran called veterans for freedom vets for freedom in 2008, nine and ten. and these are political cycles in which the small, nonprofit

organization that he was running was trying to advocate for continuing the surge strategy in iraq and for continuing along that. this is at the time when pete hegseth was really a neocon, right. he was supportive of the of the wars in iraq and afghanistan. i watched him run an organization very poorly, lose the confidence of donors. the organization ultimately folded and was forced to merge with another organization who individuals felt could run and manage funds on behalf of donors. more responsibly than he could. that was my experience with him, and we have not stayed in close touch. >> no, no, but i mean, but that's important that's at the management level here. >> these are management. yeah. this was a small nonprofit full of maybe less than ten individuals with a budget less than $5 million, 5 to $10 million. and he couldn't do that properly. i don't know how he's going to run an organization with an million individuals, based on what i saw in those years. right. and that is i mean,

that's on the substance of of of managing something. and policy. matt, may i ask you the top republican on the senate armed services committee talking about these allegations of sexual assault, said this latest revelation that hegseth ended up paying this woman in a settlement needs to be looked into. right. and we know, as kyung said, we don't yet have the police report that has not been released. so do you think there's a path for hegseth to get confirmed? and what does it look like i do and part of it is because, you know, he had spent 20 years that everyone says was honorably in the military. >> four bronze stars, certainly is seen as an intelligent guy. you know, he's written extensively about pentagon reform and military readiness, things he would want in a secretary of defense. now, obviously, the senate is going to ask a lot of questions about this. however, unlike some other nominees, this is the first time this has ever come up. so i think a lot of senators are going to give pete hegseth the benefit of the doubt to actually tell his side of the story. the fact that it has not been discussed or has

not come out to this point. and it's not like he's a low profile individual. i mean, certainly he is out there on tv every single day. i think senators are gonna want to hear his side of the story while they make their final decisions. so i do think there's still a pathway for pete hegseth to be confirmed may not be the case for some other nominees, though. >> and i want to get to those other nominees. obviously, we're talking about matt gaetz here. can i margaret, just give you a chance to respond to that i mean, when you're saying and i don't we don't know. we don't know. but as of now this is a one. this is one allegation, one person. it is very different than, say, a matt gaetz situation or others does that enable gop senators to say, okay, we're going to just take his word on this one? >> no, i mean, i think there's going to be a very serious and rigorous deliberation about whether this individual has the character to be the the head of the defense department. >> i would just also mention that the woman with whom he had this incident right, who claims that she was raped also signed

an nda and ndas mean that she can't. she doesn't own her story. and so she will never be able to. that's why she said to kyung lah she had to talk to her lawyer first. women who are violated in these ways don't have the ability to tell their story, to defend themselves. and so, you know presumably, pete signed an nda as well. but i mean, this is a subject for for sort of national discourse and discussion because women who are violated in these ways you know, i don't know how much pete is going to be able to say frankly to to senators even behind closed doors, if he also signed an nda. >> but so to that point, as a lawyer, that settlement agreements nda is oftentimes contain clauses that say, if you are subpoenaed by a government agency, for example that that would qualify as an exception to the nondisclosure provisions so i'm curious to know what that says. >> we're going to find out what's asserted by his attorney. all right. so matt can i just say, because you said, you know, in terms of others and maybe, perhaps and look, we don't know. we don't know about how all this will go down. right. but maybe this would have been subjected to

even additional scrutiny in the senate, that it may or may not have at this point. if it were not for, say, matt gaetz. so you just heard matt joel leppard, the women, the attorney for two of the women who say gaetz paid them for sex their high school friend, high school friend was having sex on an air hockey table when she's 17 years old with matt gaetz and these sorts of parties and events and groups of people in these ages, he's 35, was commonplace and happening all the time he had at least ten instances over the period of a few months that that he says his clients say this happened. they testified to the ethics committee. so can i just ask you, because you were on the ethics committee, are they going to or sorry, you were on the ethics committee monday do you think, matt, that this is going to become public? are we going to see this report yeah i'd be surprised if you don't see at least aspects of it leak and whether it's from the committee itself, whether it's when the senate requests the information and then you'll

have individual senate offices potentially leak it. >> i think more of this is going to come out. it's hard to imagine that too many people have their hands on it right? has right and look, matt gaetz has a lot of enemies in washington, d.c., right. and a lot of them are in the us senate. a lot of them are on that ethics committee. and so there's going to be a lot of folks who are interested in making sure any information that could be damaging to him is out there. and what i'd say, though, at the end of the day, is, is what matt gaetz is going to have to do is try to, you know, go out and also tell his side of the story. however, he doesn't walk in with the same goodwill that maybe pete hegseth would into a senate meeting given that many republican senators are already kind of fed up with the antics they saw in the last few years in the house, from from congressman gaetz and i think that's going to be the challenge. and so ultimately you know, for all of them, i think the the magic number is four, you know, they're probably not going to get a single democratic senator they can't lose more than three, or at least they certainly cannot lose four republican senators. i don't know how matt gaetz doesn't lose at least four pete hegseth may have a chance

i mean, and look, you could the whole recess appointment. >> it's a separate conversation in a sense, margaret. but we do know trump has been calling senators directly to lobby for gaetz now. i mean, half the conference could be against gaetz right now. does he? does he get this over the finish line? >> i mean, if he if he really wants to i this one's very difficult. it's very difficult to see how the nation's top law enforcement officer may have committed multiple crimes. i mean, this makes the president look bad. it makes the administration look bad. it's like it's just it's it's hard. it's hard to see how the senators allow this to go through. i mean, what what i'm hearing from from republicans is that is that this one is is the least likely to go through. right. and maybe there were others that might not have. yeah but when you've got matt gaetz is the one, you know, how many are republicans that that 3 or 4 number. matt's talking about i think this is part of a strategy. >> the fact that there have been so many toxic nominations made over the past several days some will get through presumably, um some may not. and so maybe matt gaetz is the

sacrificial lamb because he is so extraordinarily toxic. but let's not forget about the fact that tulsi gabbard literally a russian asset, has been nominated to be director of national intelligence that is a real problem and the fact that we're not even talking about that because everybody else has these credible allegations against them, whether it be sexual assault or sex trafficking, is i had many other people on my list, and now our time's up or a vaccine denier over hhs all right. >> and see. and then i have to leave it here. so the flood, the zone strategy, right. steve bannon is with us forever matt and margaret, thank you all very much. >> and next, a well-known russian ballet dancer critical of putin. now dead after mysteriously falling from a fifth floor of a building plus, trump vowing to use the military for his mass deportations. one top arizona official tonight saying not so fast. the attorney general of arizona will be out front. she'll talk about how she plans to stop that

nearly 50,000 russians. >> but also troops from north korea. ukraine's president bullish hits are not made with words, he said. such things don't need announcements missiles will speak for themselves but kyiv's forces are rapidly losing ground on most front lines, especially in the eastern pokrovsk region. volodymyr zelenskyy, visiting the key battleground on monday to try and shore up morale amongst his forces, which remain badly outmanned and outgunned. this weekend even zelenskyy saying the war must end soon and he believes the incoming trump administration will try and get it done quickly the war will end faster with the policies of this team that will now lead the white house, he said. this is their approach, their promise to their society. music to the ears of the kremlin. while russia has even changed its nuclear doctrine nukes, if a country like

ukraine attacks with long distance weapons with the help of a nuclear power like the u.s., moscow's hope for better relations with the incoming trump administration could cause the kremlin to refrain from a strong response. russian political analyst alexei naumov tells me. i think the kremlin will give donald trump some time to maybe reevaluate this policy, readjust it. we've seen some good signs about this. elon musk, who plays an outsized role in the incoming administration, criticized the decision. donald trump jr. criticized the decision the kremlin has not might look like, only that it would be, quote appropriate quote appropriate, as you say there, fred. >> i mean can i ask you in the context of all of this, just to, you know, remind everybody what what happens in russia? someone has been critical about the war in ukraine in recent times, has been a very famous russian ballet star vladimir shklyarov we see him dancing

here. he fell to his death from the fifth floor of a building. we've just found out. he had, of course, spoken out against the war. do you know anything more about the circumstances of his death >> they're being investigated and you're absolutely right. vladimir shklyarov was the main dancer, the lead dancer at the mariinsky theater, which, of course, is a storied ballet theater in the city of saint petersburg, who also internationally, was really a big star in the ballet world. i just want to read you real quick what he said about the ukraine war, where he was quoted as saying at the beginning when it all started, he said, quote, i am against the war in ukraine. i am for the people, for a peaceful sky above our heads. and you're absolutely right. he fell to his death on saturday from the fifth story of a building. and the russians are saying they're investigating all of this, but according to ria novosti, one of the main news agencies here, the initial findings of the russians are that this was an accident. he is said to have been on very strong painkillers because he was two days away from a massive back operation.

so right now the investigation is ongoing. but for now, the russians are saying that they believe that natural causes caused his death, that there was nothing else going on. the mariinsky theater, of course, coming out and saying this is a tragic loss for that theater company. >> fred pleitgen, thank you very much in moscow, where fred has been doing such tireless reporting in these past days since trump won election, such a crucial time to be there, fred, thank you. and next mar-a-lago meltdowns involving some of those always by trump's side, including elon musk. there is new reporting this hour from marc caputo he'll share. plus, arizona's attorney general taking on trump, insisting his plans for mass deportations will have to go through her first. and she's our guest next. >> you want answers? >> astute political analysis. >> we have questions how biden said the write offs stayed awake. >> why did trump pull out of 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out. >> this is a news network. >> have i got news for you

prime. >> how it really happened sunday at nine on cnn >> trouble at mar-a-lago. trump's transition co-chair ruffling feathers inside the president elect's inner circle because of what he's doing. his antics apparently howard lutnick is on trump's short list to lead the treasury department but the bulwarks mark caputo reports tonight that he's, quote, shooting himself in the foot as insiders see him as, quote, too competitive too aggressive, and too thirsty for the spotlight so mark joins me now. >> all right. mark. so, nick, you know, he backed trump. he was the transition leader backed him before he won right. so he's been on that inner circle. but then here we are. you're reporting he's causing friction inside the trump team. not just now but actually for weeks. so what's going on right. >> i guess the next installment of the show, knives out, is taking place at mar-a-lago. and the transition because lutnick is not only just sort of ruffling feathers, they don't really like his style. but early on he ran afoul of rfk. robert kennedy jr. by saying he would never be hhs secretary.

and then trump went ahead and appointed it to him anyway. and now his style of sort of knifing other people and trying to keep them from the treasury post has started to really rub a lot of people the wrong way. and he's enlisted the help of others, including now rfk, as well as elon musk, who even though he's spending all of this time around donald trump, along with howard lutnick, musk tweeted on saturday that lutnick should get the job and this other rival scott bessent, shouldn't and there are folks who have been around trump for a while who said you know, he probably isn't going to like this sort of pressure on him, both inside mar-a-lago and a social media campaign being mounted outside because he doesn't want to look like he's in the service of elon musk. donald trump doesn't really want to look like his puppet. >> no, no. >> okay, so can we talk about that because they're together constantly. i mean, in every single picture of trump is elon musk. one would forget that there was a jd vance. they are

together everywhere so you know, now you're talking about him taking sides on this treasury situation and now also we're hearing about massive blowup between musk and boris epstein that you're reporting on boris johnson is a longtime trump top trump adviser. all of this over cabinet picks. and axios is reporting about that dustup. so what's really going on here about the dynamics between trump and musk, who, like i said are literally joined at the hip. you can't get a photo of trump without musk in it, right now. >> it looks pretty good. those who know donald trump say the one thing that donald trump really prizes and really respects are people who make a lot of money and elon musk being the richest or one of the richest men in the world, gets a lot of respect from donald trump. but people wonder at what point the two are going to have a falling out. typical of trump's caught, so to speak is that proximity to power is power itself and there inevitably are these squabbles

that erupt around trump. and now you're seeing it from what we understand with elon musk and boris epstein. now, what elon musk is going to discover is that boris epstein has sort of a master canine relationship or canine master relationship with donald trump, and donald trump is never going to really part with his sort of beloved loyal dog and that has just been their long time relationship. people have tried to unseat and undo boris, but it's unlikely to happen. >> master canine okay, i you know what? you came up with a new, new turn of phrase there mark. >> i enjoy bob baer like conversations with you so much all right. thank you so much. i appreciate it thanks. all right. also tonight trump is confirming that he will declare a national military for mass deportations of immigrants in the united states illegally. trump says he will begin this process in his first 100 days. he has repeated that now. my next guest is vowing to fight him and saying that if he engages in unconstitutional behavior, he'll have to go through her

first. >> i do not believe that in electing donald trump. arizona voters voted to shred the u.s. and arizona constitutions and if donald trump tries to do that, he will have to go through me first. >> and arizona's attorney general, chris mayes, is out front now. she's a democrat. and you heard what she said. about what you know, what has to go through her first. if he's going to do anything unconstitutional. so, attorney general, thank you so much for being with me. trump today did confirm again his plan for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. he says he will use the military a very clear he said, true with three exclamation points when tom fitton posted that so undocumented immigrants mass deportations using the military. what is your response to that you know, erin, what i

would say with three exclamation points is that i have not had a single conversation with a single arizona border sheriff or sheriff who said that they wanted the military and that they wanted the military to come do mass deportations in arizona. >> what our law enforcement and what our sheriffs have told me that they need is more border patrol agents they need to triple the number of dea agents so that we can prosecute more drug cartels and drug and fentanyl as it's crossing our border. they need more resources. those are the kinds of things that we need. what we don't need is, is the military. what i also worry about is, you know, the likelihood that if you involve the military, you don't involve due process. and we still have laws in this country, we still have due process in this country. and i don't know that our military wants to be

involved in mass deportations so on this issue though, support for deportations has grown by 20 points from 2016 to 2024. >> i mean, it's a massive increase. 66% were opposed in 2016. it's now less than half, so only 46% actually oppose that and in your state of arizona voters knowing trump stood for that came out in favor of him. right. loud, clear message. they're unhappy with security at the border, which you just mentioned. i'm curious, attorney general, though, because your margin of victory was as narrow as it gets 280 votes more than your opponent. and yet you are taking this stand and standing up for this. are you worried about alienating those voters on this issue you know, i'm really not because i'm taking the position that they have taken really, which is that we need border security. >> we need more dea agents. we need more border patrol agents. we do need to take control of

the border. look, you know, donald trump is responsible for some of the chaos at the border because he is the one who tanked the bipartisan border bill. you know, that was that was introduced aaron, more than a year ago if we had had the bipartisan border bill in place for the last year, we could have solved a lot of the chaos that was having happening on the border. we could have put fentanyl sensors at our border crossings. we could have had those border patrol agents in place. and that didn't happen why didn't it happen? it didn't happen because donald trump tanked it for his own reelection purposes. so i think yes. do we need to deport criminal illegal immigrants or criminals who have engaged in crimes in the united states you bet we do. but that's not 15 million people. and when you're talking about 15 million people, you're probably aaron also talking about dreamers and

members of daca and those those are folks that are a part of our economy part of our state. they are firefighters. they are police officers. and we're just not going to go there in the state of arizona. all right. well, attorney general, i appreciate your time. and thank you very much. >> thank you. >> all right. and next new horrible details of how police knew that laken riley the woman allegedly killed by an undocumented immigrant, put up a fight until the end cnn this morning with eastern. believe it or not, baby you could earn your master's degree for under 11 k in less than a year earn your competency based masters at university of phoenix comfort and softness which is why we make the best socks and
