>> you know, it was wild. >> this is from amber. oh thank you amber? yes. when he said it, i snuck to see if he was doing it for real over there touching knees i'm gay. i can't feel it can i ask ladies? >> is it matt gaetz, the kind of guy you dated just before you became gay? >> yes he was the last exit ramp. he was the one where you were like, oh let me. yeah, let me try nope. can't do it. no he made you gay. he somehow looks like tammy faye baker and her husband new episode of have i got news for you it airs tomorrow night at 9 p.m. >> right here on cnn. that is eastern time. for those of you on daylight savings time. and thank you for watching news night. cnn's coverage continues next
1:01 am
>> why was the president elect's pick for intelligence chief flagged for a government watch list new cnn reporting on tulsi gabbard's overseas travel. also tonight, new reporting from the washington post. what it's saying about trump's plans for special counsel jack smith. his entire team, and how the justice department will investigate. now, the 2020 election and later fears of a major escalation in the war after russia uses an experimental missile to attack ukraine in tonight for anderson and the breaking news tonight. another embattled cabinet pick for the president elect. this time it's tulsi gabbard, the onetime democratic congresswoman who very publicly switched parties at a trump rally back in october and whom the president elect picked as his choice for director of national intelligence to oversee all of america's
1:02 am
sprawling intelligence apparatus, as well as handle some of our country's most sensitive national security secrets. her choice as dni had already raised a number of eyebrows and hard questions in part because of her limited experience in intelligence work, but also and more importantly, she is repeated views on syria and the war in ukraine that mirror russian propaganda. the propaganda of one of the u.s .'s chief adversaries. and there is her public support of people such as julian assange and edward snowden who have leaked u.s. national security secrets. tonight, we're learning new information about an incident earlier this year when gabbard was placed on a government watch list. our national security reporter reporter zachary cohen starts us off. and, zach, what stands out to me is how someone ends up on this list. they get triggered because of overseas travel patterns and foreign connections, and that then triggers an algorithm. do we
1:03 am
know how specifically she triggered that algorithm? >> yeah, jim, we're looking at a program that is based around an algorithm that as you mentioned, looks at a series of indicators it compares that with a database that includes u.s. intelligence and other information that is compiled by government agencies. and it compares that to see if there are any matches for threat based behavior. now that's a pattern, a specific pattern, a specific criteria that this algorithm is looking for. and in gabbard's case, both her overseas travel and things about her foreign connections did match up and did flag and trigger this algorithm. as you mentioned, she did match that pattern that this algorithm is trained to look for. and look, we don't know specifically what it was about this pattern of overseas travel that got gabbard flagged, nor the specifics of these foreign connections that were enough of a concern that it triggered this algorithm. but look, this is unprecedented. and highly unusual for somebody who is nominated to be the leader of the u.s. intelligence community, to even be added to
1:04 am
a watch list like this, a watch list that we're told is really a security mechanism and a screening mechanism mechanism to ensure somebody is safe to get on an airplane before they board. so that's kind of what we're looking at here. >> i mean, when you look at travel, of course, there was her infamous trip to syria to meet bashar al assad, but that was a number of years ago, and she was put on this list more recently as we mentioned, she posted about her inclusion on the list in september. do we know how she learned that she was on this list? >> jim we're told by a federal official familiar with this program that just like there are specific criteria to get on this list, there's also specific criteria to be cleared and removed from this list, and that it's not people are not removed because of public comments that they make. you're referring to when tulsi gabbard said that she was added to a quote secret terror watch list. this is not a secret terror watch list either. this is a list that requires additional screening for individual passengers and cleared through a variety of different ways. it's still unclear how gabbard ultimately was notified about that, but this is something that, in
1:05 am
normal times, we're told that would be that she would have to explain through the confirmation process and would ultimately be something that would get looked at as part of an fbi background check. but, jim, as you know, the trump the trump transition is bypassing that traditional fbi background check check process, which is used to give somebody a security clearance, for example. so it'll be interesting to see if republicans and democrats in the senate do raise more questions about this and do ask for an explanation about the underlying foreign travel here that did set off this algorithm yeah, exactly. >> how and why she was then removed from that list as well. zachary cohen, thanks so much. let's get some perspective now from former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe carrie cordero former counsel to the u.s. assistant attorney general for national security. and maggie haberman, senior political correspondent for the new york times author of confidence man, the making of donald trump and the breaking of america. also, cnn political commentator van jones and republican strategist joseph pinion. andrew, i do want to begin with you. her
1:06 am
travel to syria, which we knew about that's a number of years ago she was put on this list only much more recently, since removed, which we should note. can you understand? can you? and again, we don't know what countries she went to or what foreign connections she had that triggered the algorithm. can you give us a sense of what kind of foreign travel? what kind of foreign connections would be necessary to meet the threshold to be put on this list you that question while we fix andy mccabe's audio. there any sense of what she would have needed to have done to get on the list? >> i think based on the reporting that i'm hearing, is that there was a collection of information that is gathered, i think my sense is that this would go to the types of places that she was traveling to. so would i think this does. is it opens a line of communication
1:07 am
for the senate as they're conducting the confirmation hearing to ask where are these places that she's been going as a private citizen as as this reporting pertains to her being on the list, as i understand it earlier this year, what types of places was she going countries. what types of contacts was it foreign leaders? um, you know, was it in countries that are of national security concern? that's what i would take from this, is that the particular places she was traveling were of national security concern. so i do think that this was an algorithm issue where the combination of the places she was going and perhaps the nature of the people that she was meeting with then triggered this particular alert for her, which then just provides a secondary mechanism for tsa and for the department of homeland security to make sure that the people who are getting on planes are doing so safely. >> andy, i think we have your voice back. all importantly, i don't want to place too much faith. i think we've learned a lot of lessons about placing too much faith in any particular algorithm. but these
1:08 am
algorithms are built. they're designed to protect the country's national security and to keep track of things that that perhaps you might not notice otherwise, can you give a sense of why someone like her would end up on a list like this sure. >> so there's a couple of things to to really point out here. this is a program that was designed to help screeners and security folks like tsa, air marshals be aware of individuals who might present a risk, but who are not. people 'h list of terror subjects or people who are suspected of involvement in terrorism one of the quote, unquote rules that this system uses to identify people is to first make sure that the person they're thinking about is actually not watch listed. so if you were watch listed, you would never be included in the secure flight program. this is designed to find people who are not known by the government, are not thought of as being terrorists, but for whatever
1:09 am
reason, the places they traveled, the people they contacted while they were there have raised in some minimal way a level of concern and one that could be addressed by additional screening before you get on the plane. so you might have to go through the magnetometer twice or speak to the tsa person for some longer period than you normally would. and it is designed to do, jim, exactly what we've been told since nine over 11, which is connect the dots right find those people who were not even aware of and subject them to t some level of scrutiny so we can make sure that we've resolved potential threats. >> listen, as i was reading the story, i personally run into this. i remember when i had a lot of stamps in my passport from from countries like iraq and afghanistan. i got an extra layer. just a few more questions when i was going through, for instance, airport security via london. maggie, i wonder we've seen the president back away from matt gaetz when it became clear to him he didn't have the votes in the
1:10 am
senate. and by the way, with the quite alarming accusations about his personal behavior here questions about tulsi gabbard go beyond this watch list. let's be frank. i've spoken to people in the intelligence community who have hard questions about the fact that she has parroted russian propaganda on issues of national security to this country. do you believe the president sticks buyer regardless he's not the president yet it's sort of remarkable to me, as we were talking about these these nominee rollouts. >> he can't nominate anybody yet he's not in office yet. number one. number two, i do think he feels differently about tulsi gabbard than he did about matt gaetz. i think matt gaetz was done. matt gaetz name had come up before that plane ride where trump made up his mind to do this or, you know, leaned into doing it to announcing gaetz. and then he pulled back he was sticking with him, but he was pretty clear with people. gaetz had a high bar gabbard has flown under the radar more because of
1:11 am
all the attention on matt gaetz. she is obviously getting more attention now. trump is somebody who has also said things that are more in line with how vladimir putin looks at the world than u.s. leaders typically do. so i don't think that's going to be something that would make him back off. he really likes her. he she joined him in debate prep. he has he has grown very fond of her. a lot of people around him have grown very fond of her. i think it would take a lot for him to back off of her, frankly. we'll see what happens as we get closer to the potential for hearings. >> yeah, to your point listen, one thing tulsi gabbard did is around the time of the russian invasion of ukraine, she tweeted placing blame for that invasion on the biden administration and on nato, which, by the way, is not too far off with jd vance. the vice president elect, has said about the war in ukraine. van i wonder what you think the political fallout is here, because there certainly is an appetite for change in washington. we saw that in the
1:12 am
results of this election and president trump is seems to be serving that with some of these appointments but let's be frank, in potential senate confirmation hearings, when on national television, tulsi gabbard is asked about comments that she has made the american people will hear that. i mean, does that does he maintain that political support for someone like her? >> well, look, i know tulsi gabbard. i consider her to be a friend. i knew her before she was in congress. i know her dad, who was a great lawmaker in hawaii a pro-environment she has a big opportunity and a responsibility here to clear up all this stuff. there's a big cloud over her. i don't care about this algorithm because as you said yourself algorithms are just tripwires. that's not any kind of definitive proof of anything, but it does create an opportunity for tulsi gabbard to get in front of the american people and explain all this stuff. people don't yet understand why she says. the stuff she says, why she does the stuff she does and i if she
1:13 am
would just use this moment, maybe she can clear some of this stuff up. she's going to have one of the most important jobs on planet earth, because u.s. intelligence is key to western security. it's key to global security. and so i don't care about this algorithm. i do care about the cloud over her. and i hope she takes this opportunity to clear some of this stuff up. >> joe i wonder what your perspective is because i've spoken to republicans sitting republican lawmakers who have concerns about tulsi gabbard not because of this. watch list, a couple of months she spent on that, but because of the views, views that contradict u.s. assessment bipartisan assessments as to who america's true adversaries and threats are russia, china, syria et cetera. they have concerns, and you can understand those concerns right because, i mean, it used to be bipartisan that folks look at russia as a as a, as a threat to this country or the syrian
1:14 am
president bashar al assad in your view should she be the director of national intelligence? >> well, again, first and foremost, president trump has the right as the president elect to nominate individuals that he believes will further his foreign policy vision i do think that we can't have it both ways we're having the conversation about algorithmic tripwires that have foiled many people that never rise to the level of being in charge of the intelligence for the national intelligence for the united states of america. and so if we understand that, yes oftentimes, brown people, black people get caught up in this nonsense, then maybe perhaps we should not be having a national conversation about the fact that she got caught up in this mix. i do think to your further point, is she the right person for the job? i think that just because you might actually have agreements with russia does not
1:15 am
necessarily mean that you are a foil for russia at the end of the day, there are critical arguments to be made about the fact that the president of ukraine and many people in the united states senate wanted us to have preemptive sanctions that might have deterred vladimir putin from driving those tanks across the border into ukraine. and there were people in this country on the political left that prevented us from having those preemptive sanctions. and so, yes, there is a robust conversation about foreign policy that can have i agree with van. she has the opportunity now to have that critical conversation with the nation and with the senators. but ultimately, at the end of the day, i think trying to act as if somehow she is not fit for the job is in many ways inconsistent with individuals that have held this post before and other presidents that have been given the purview to nominate who they choose for roles when they not might not necessarily have the prototypical profile for a
1:16 am
particular position. >> well, i have typically had quite an extensive experience at the top levels of the u.s. levels of the u.s. intelligence community, in contradiction to to her background in this case. everyone, please do stay with us, because coming up next, more breaking news. we have a treasury pick. his income level may not surprise you, but his former employer might. also tonight mystery texts a missed flight and the pleas of a missing maui woman's family for her safe return hunt, weekdays at five eastern. >> when i was younger, my calling was to play football. but as i grew older, i realized life isn't about how many people you can knock down it's about how many people you can lift up that ram our calling is to build game changing trucks, so when you find your calling, nothing can stop you from answering them

>> after a long, sometimes very public search for a treasury secretary that saw even elon musk publicly opine on who should make the best pick, we have a name tonight. a billionaire who perhaps surprisingly, once worked for george soros. but another billionaire nonetheless to join trump himself. and of course, elon musk. alayna treene joins me now. tell us more about scott bessent, trump's pick for treasury secretary. why him and what does he plan to do say his selection of scott bessent. >> and finally announcing his treasury pick has really ended what has been one of the biggest two and a half week fights we have seen play out at mar-a-lago thus far since donald trump won the election. i'd remind you that we had actually been told about a week or two ago that scott bessent was going to be his pick to lead the department of treasury. however, after that, we really saw this knife fight take place behind the scenes.
1:22 am
we were told that howard lutnick donald trump's transition chair had actually wielded that knife, wanting the role for himself. but this was something that really had took up a lot of donald trump's time, especially because remember, donald trump, throughout his time on the campaign trail, has made a ton of promises regarding his economic agenda, particularly what he wants to do with tariffs and so this is going to be a huge job for him. but it was also one of the ones that donald trump was the most focused on behind the scenes. and one of the most contentious fights we saw play out. now, you mentioned that he is a billionaire hedge funder. you also mentioned his ties to george soros. that is, of course, come up. i'm told in the conversations behind the scenes. but he was really kind of viewed as a wall street darling, someone that was a big a lot of people in the business world were a big fan of. i'm also told lindsey graham personally lobbied on behalf of bass and given his ties to south carolina, but he was a name that a lot of people thought would hopefully be
1:23 am
easily confirmable. we saw that obviously an issue this week with some of excuse me, donald trump's other picks particularly matt gaetz. so this was a choice that took donald trump a long time to come to. it's going to be a huge deal in this next administration but one that his team is happy with. i'm told and believes will be able to get him through the senate process. >> you mentioned terrorists and besson wrote that piece for the wall street journal after the election he did not mention tariffs in that piece notably, we'll see if he follows through alayna treene. thanks so much we do have new reporting tonight from the washington post about how they say president-elect trump plans to deal with the special counsel who brought two federal cases against him for attempting to overturn the 2022 election. the headline trump plans to fire jack smith's team and used doj to probe 2020 election. they write, quote, president-elect donald trump plans to fire the entire team that worked with special counsel jack smith to pursue two federal prosecutions against the former president, including career attorneys.
1:24 am
typically protected from political retribution. this, according to two individuals close to trump's transition. trump is also planning to assemble investigative teams within the justice department to hunt for evidence in battleground states that fraud tainted the 2020 election. one of the people said. according to the report. this is how the trump team responded quote, president trump campaigned on firing rogue bureaucrats who have engaged in the illegal weaponization of our american justice system and the american people can expect he will deliver on that promise. this is what trump said when he officially declared his candidacy back in 2022. >> the gravest threats to our civilization are not from abroad, but from within. >> none is greater than the weaponization of the justice system. the fbi and the doj. we must conduct a top to bottom overhaul to clean out the festering rot and corruption of
1:25 am
washington, d.c. the enemy within. >> we've heard that lines a lot black. back now with our panel, and i want to begin with you, andrew, because what struck me about this headline is he is then dismantling the investigation, which was based on quite hard evidence. a grand jury has indicted him for it, of attempting to overturn the 2020 election. but then using the justice department to follow and investigate what there is no evidence of even his own former attorney general, bill barr said so of significant fraud in the 2020 election. what does that tell you about the direction of the justice department under trump? >> i think it's the direction that we all saw coming with another trump administration. i mean, let's remember that donald trump continues to do exactly what he promised to do from the stump. and in this case, that is, to seek retribution against the people he thinks did him something you know, did him dirty. these quote, unquote rogue bureaucrats um, but let's remind ourselves that these
1:26 am
rogue bureaucrats conducted an investigation that complied with the law. they collected evidence. they presented that evidence to a grand jury of 23 of donald trump's fellow citizens and those people, after reviewing that evidence, decided there was probable cause to believe that donald trump had committed a crime, both in d.c. regarding the january regarding the election and in florida regarding the documents. and that is how he got indicted, not out of lawfare not out of political persecution, not because joe biden said so, but because these folks did their jobs and now it appears they're going to pay a pretty significant, um professional price, which is shameful. and it's a state that, uh, that's sorry to see that that we are sinking to this level where an incoming president just engages in retaliation against people who have the temerity to potentially expose his unlawful activity. >> well, to your point, he said quite repeatedly and very
1:27 am
publicly, this is what he intended to do in a second term. kerry i want to ask you about firing career staffers because there are a number of protections in place, including from political retribution. can he do so? and if he attempts to do so, what happens? >> well, so he he could i mean, he could direct the attorney general. and this is why it's really going to matter whether the attorney general who is ultimately confirmed steps into that role and really follows that oath as opposed to the allegiance to the political leader so it will depend on whether the attorney general carries out these orders. if he gives them civil service protections, protections for career prosecutors, career attorneys, career paralegals who may have been assigned to the case they are supposed to be protected under civil service laws if they are fired, they will have lawsuits. so this could just create another big mess for the department in terms of those people. then
1:28 am
potentially suing the government. but that's not a place that any of these people would want to be political appointees certainly can be fired as soon as the new administration comes into place. but even in addition, even if the new attorney general comes in and doesn't fire you know, absolutely, absolutely fire every single person who was on that team, there's still a lot of things that they could do. they can that can make their life really, really difficult they can order investigations by the office of professional responsibility or by the office of inspector general. they can reassign them, including to other locations, i mean, so they can even without firing people if they really want to have this retribution for people who participated in these cases they can make their lives and their livelihood really difficult. >> maggie i wonder in your conversations and you know trump very well how far does his enemies list go and frankly, not just in the justice department, but to politicians who criticized him. the liz cheney and adam
1:29 am
kinzinger of the world to journalists who covered him, wrote stories about him that were critical, uncovered things he didn't want uncovered. can we expect in a second trump term that he goes, after all those people there's only 40 minutes left in the show to right to talk about how long this list is. >> i mean, look, it's a long list. it doesn't mean that he's going to go after everybody with the same intensity or even everybody at all who has ever written something said something, done something he liked. certainly the prosecutions are in a different category in his mind, jim. you know, he he has talked about that pretty openly. nobody should be surprised that he is talking about going after the prosecutors who investigated him or who prosecuted him he's been, as you showed, video, quite plain about doing that. and as kerry said, he doesn't actually it's not clear to me that he can do the things that are being talked about in that washington post story but he doesn't actually have to make those things happen in order to make people's lives very hard. and that can be true, jim, for journalists that can be true
1:30 am
for immigrants, that can be true for wide groups of people that he has talked about on the campaign trail, and that i do expect you will see joe, as we mentioned post reporting, trump is planning to assemble an investigative teams to quote, hunt for evidence in battleground states that fraud tainted the 2020 election. >> there's been recounts, there have been lawsuits failed lawsuits, investigations and his own attorney general from the first term said there's no evidence of that significant fraud um, he's not giving it up. clearly he's not giving up the 2020 election lie why? and from your perspective, is that what he should be doing? is that what he should be using? the justice department for in a second term? >> i will simply say that i think that sometimes president trump says things and then people effectively get hyperbolic about the words that come out of his mouth. i do believe that part of president trump's mandate is to root out rot in our institutions i'm not going to sit here and allow us
1:31 am
to pretend that the fbi has been perfect, that the doj has been perfect, and in fact, they have done things as an institution that have done a great deal of harm to this country. you have to remember that we're sitting here in the aftermath of a man named kevin clinesmith, who inserted, fabricated evidence into an email for the purposes of allowing the fbi to procure a fisa warrant to investigate president trump. and that investigation did not stop until he was already president we're sitting here in the aftermath of the current secretary of state, anthony blinken who went and picked up the phone and called the deputy director for the cia. and out of that phone call came a letter signed by 51 members of former u.s. intelligence, who said that hunter biden's laptop was russian disinformation even though we knew that the fbi had authenticated that laptop and its contents. 11 months prior,
1:32 am
i am not saying that we are supposed to bend over and allow people to say things that are untrue, but at some point, news organizations should be able to acknowledge the fact that we should have investigations. claudia tenney, who is in congress, joe to me, we did this network, did report on the investigations. >> you're talking about i'm not look to be clear, i'm not. and by the way, kevin clinesmith was prosecuted by that justice kevin clinesmith has not done a single day in jail. >> and as we sit here today he currently has his donald trump he currently has the ability to practice law. look, i'll just say this and i'll and i'll leave it here. >> i don't want to cut you off briefly because i want to give ann a chance to respond. >> look nobody has said any american institution is perfect, but to take a wrecking ball and run it through our institutions is not going to make americans safer. sometimes we talk over folks heads look, donald trump did a bunch of bad stuff and got in trouble, and now he's not in trouble, but
1:33 am
he still wants to go back and hurt little people. listen if you when we say civil servants, they what we're talking about. these are folks you went to college with who were smart kids who took the lsat, went to law school and wanted to do something to keep us safe, and got their dream job just working folks. got a dream job at the department of justice. they've been trying to put people in jail who do bad stuff. somebody has signed them to work on this thing. and now donald trump wants to ruin their lives, make destroy their careers because they did the job that was assigned to them. those are working folks, good folks who go to school with them. you go to the gym with them and they are now trembling. they're afraid because they did their job. that's wrong. donald trump cut it out. quit picking on little folks and deal with big problems. >> i'll just say this quickly. and jim, i apologize, but no, you don't apologize. >> the reality is keep filibustering, brother. but it's not donald trump is wrong to jump on those workers. it is wrong to jump on the filibuster. >> brother look, i love you to death, but you already final word. >> because we got to go, gentlemen. >> we got. we got claudia

tenney, who sent a criminal referral to the doj for those 51 members of former u.s. intelligence members to say what they did was wrong. it has been collecting dust on the desk of the current attorney general, and i believe it's going to stop collecting dust with the new attorney general. a story i should note that this is why we're having this conversation right now, a story i should note that this network covered what you didn't answer was my question about investigating false claims of fraud in the 2020 election, but it appears we're going to be going down that rabbit hole as well. >> everyone thanks so much to all of you for giving me time on your friday. more on this. washington washington post report about jack smith and what they say are trump's plans for the doj. we're going to get a reaction from a congressman who also is a former assistant u.s. attorney himself were being held hostage that was being led across the embassy compound. >> people were running up to me shouting, death to america the iran hostage crisis how it really happened tomorrow at nine on cnn finish ultimate

reporting from the washington post. >> the headline reading trump plans to fire jack smith's team used doj to probe the 2020 election. more perspective now from democratic congressman glenn ivey. he's a former assistant u.s. attorney himself who sits on the house judiciary committee, also the ethics committee. we're going to get to that. i want to begin with your past as an assistant u.s. attorney because what trump is vowing to do here, according to the washington post, is go after the career folks, right? the folks who signed up for the doj, you know ostensibly in a nonpartisan role you serve whatever administration it is, and you go after the bad guys, right? and he's saying you're fired. >> yeah, it's astonishing. >> and and will be terribly destructive at the department of justice because you have prosecutors in fact, you have a whole unit there public integrity, it's called, that focuses on prosecuting elected officials who crossed the line, taking bribes and the like. >> what he is saying he will do, i guess essentially could
1:40 am
disband that whole unit. and so the prosecutors for example, who prosecuted senator menendez or who are investigating the new york mayor, eric adams, or hunter biden. right. hunter biden, i mean, you know i guess those won't go forward. he's going after the people that went after him. but if you're a prosecutor and you're looking at this, you're like, well, the next guy who gets elected, i don't know who that's going to be but are they going to try and prosecute me or destroy my life? it's it's it's not what we want for the department. >> i mean, there's a dark irony here, right? because he campaigned against the alleged weaponization of the doj and now is quite publicly saying he's going to go after folks who came after him. right. investigate the investigators. and now he has pam bondi who was one of the lawyers who defended trump during his first impeachment. but also who helped propagate the 2020 election, lie right. what do you think a justice department looks like under her? >> i mean, i don't really know. i mean, she's got a better profile than than matt
1:41 am
gaetz did. i mean, she has prosecutorial experience she's been in a courtroom as as a lawyer, not as a defendant. and you know, she's actually got managerial experience. but this is the bigger test, right? this isn't just those boxes have been checked this is do you have the backbone to stand up to your boss, donald trump, and say, we can't go there no, i wasn't a huge bill barr fan, but there were points where he drew that line. and that's what you need to you certainly drew his line after the election in 2020. yeah he did. he waited a little longer than i would have liked. but you know he got there and that's been true in other bill clinton i'm sure he would have loved to have gotten rid of some of the investigations that were going on with him during janet reno's era but he kept his distance and let those things go forward. you have to let them play out. >> you're a member of the house homeland security committee. what do you make of this few weeks that tulsi gabbard was on this watch list? we should be clear. it's not a terror watch list, but it's an algorithm
1:42 am
that looks at people's travel and foreign contacts and somehow she tripped the wire as it were, and ended up on this list for a time. how significant is that, in your view? >> you know, i'm not completely sure. i think it's something we want to take a very close look at certainly we can't rely on the trump transition team to vet these nominees. they're sending up people who probably shouldn't be at the top of these lists. and i think she's one of those. so even though, you know, as van jones was saying, can she clear her name? maybe. i guess she'll get a chance to do that. but i got to believe there are better people out there from a qualification standpoint, from an experience standpoint, from a managerial standpoint. and this isn't just any job where ojt is on the job training is okay, this is the national security of the united states at a very dangerous time for our country getting more dangerous. >> you're also a member of the house ethics committee matt. news moves quickly in washington and in the span of the last 24 hours, he matt gaetz withdrew his name as
1:43 am
trump's nominee today. he said he's not going to be returning to congress either um, what do you think should happen now to the ethics report relating to him well, you know, he said he's not returning to congress. >> we'll see. i think he doesn't have to make that final decision until i guess it's january 3rd. but that's issue one. he could also, you know, if marco rubio gets selected for the cabinet that senate seat could come open. mr. gaetz could be appointed to that potentially he i've heard he's thinking about running for governor of florida. there are also other positions in the trump administration that he could be appointed to. so it might make sense to release the information. so whatever he chooses to do, the public has that information. and we do have the precedent for that. you know, from the house ethics committee releasing information and reports or investigations for people who have left the congress but maybe seeking other office or other issues, which is what the senate was demanding. >> had he gone through a senate confirmation hearing or some

1:49 am
us now. nick, we've been learning a lot about this new missile in the last 48 hours or so, and it only looks more threatening over time what do we know yeah, i mean, i think it's fair to say that all the different assessments including vladimir putin's, agreed this is a hypersonic missile. >> and from the video we saw ourselves one that appears to fire multiple separate warheads from one singular delivery device, a mechanism normally associated with something that would deliver a nuclear payload but no sign of this at all. putin suggested this could fly at three kilometers per second, and in comments today, he said that this was indeed successful in its use. and they would continue to test the missile implying there they continue to test it in combat. i think most western assessments do agree this is something new. the real question is how many do they have? and ukraine defense intelligence assessment suggests this is actually called the getter, not the oreshnik, which vladimir putin dubbed it. and indeed that as
1:50 am
of october, russia only had two prototypes. that's their hope they said, quote, thanks god jim. >> goodness beyond the missile. and that was quite a message itself. some noted a change in putin's tone from previous public addresses during this war. what did you take away from his remarks speech that had essentially almost been trailed in terms of significance by a sort of blundering phone call that the foreign ministry spokeswoman took in a briefing, being told not to talk about the missile and his tone, i think, was different in that he spoke about essentially the threat of missiles like this towards the west, that these missiles could get through western air defenses, all of them, he claimed because of its speed. >> and from what we saw on that video, the multiple different warheads i should point out that some western military analysts say that the us, nato are in possession of air defenses, potentially that could stop something like this,
1:51 am
but it's never been tested. one against the other. and the ultimate message here was twofold to say that russia still has technical prowess, that it hasn't reached for yet to potentially remind its adversary which increasingly views as being washington not kyiv, that it could potentially get around some of its better technology. and of course, to here to remind people in ukraine that even though their air defenses are increasingly advanced week by week from western help, that they still possess, things could easily get through them. it certainly made people a lot more anxious the initial assessment from the ukrainians this was an icbm. and, you know, president volodymyr zelenskyy was, i think, correct to note the altitude, the speed many of the characteristics of that oreshnik or whatever we choose to call it, that flew at the dnipro match that kind of device, it range simply didn't. and i think we are seeing the kremlin here after a week in which they feel the biden administration has rapidly escalated with the use of atacms us supplied missiles by
1:52 am
ukraine to hit russia, that they needed to do something back. and this was it jim, listen and maybe that distinction might be one without a difference. >> maybe not. the same range as an icbm, but but clearly more threatening nick paton walsh, thanks so much. coming up next, a woman from hawaii mysteriously vanishes on a trip of a lifetime her family, alarmed by some text messages they received from her phone. we'll have the details coming up america's favorite holiday. >> spend thanksgiving morning with cnn with live coverage of parades around the country and special guest appearances by chef bobby flay, jennifer hudson, the property brothers, drew scott the temptations t.i., the inside, the nba crew, andy grammer and more. john berman and erica hill host cnn. thanksgiving in america live

to see this family and i want you to know that she is so loved. >> two weeks ago, kobayashi flew from maui to los angeles. she was supposed to go on to new york, but never made her connecting flight here at lax. family members say they have seen footage of her running to get to her gate, but missed the flight due to a tight 40 minute layover for the next three days, family members say they were in touch with hannah as she kept going back to lax to try and book a new flight family members even spoke to an airline checking agent who spoke with hannah. >> basically, that she was just frustrated she was done. >> she wanted to get a direct flight to jfk she even talked about, you know what, getting a direct flight to maui like and they said, unfortunately you have to book a brand new ticket which is expensive. >> when she wasn't at lax, family members say she was spotted at a popular outdoor mall in los angeles two days in a row. she was seen at the
1:59 am
grove once in a bookstore, and another day she was caught on camera by a vlogger. she also posted a picture on instagram from an event at the mall. during the three days her phone was on in addition to speaking with her family she was also in touch with friends. some shared screenshots of texts from kobayashi before she went silent mysterious messages like deep hackers wiped my identity, stole all of my funds and have had me on a mind since friday. one message said. i got tricked pretty much into giving away all my funds, another text read, followed by one saying for someone i thought i loved. family members say these text messages do not sound like the hannah that they know, and love. do you think that she is behind these text messages? or do you think someone else is writing these texts? >> um, you know there's there's two cases of scenarios it's that someone has her phone that's writing the text. someone is forcing her to write these texts or she's, you know, she's she's not okay.
2:00 am
>> and she's writing these texts the last place hannah was seen was at this train station in downtown los angeles. >> family members say they've seen footage of her on the train with someone they don't recognize. and leaving the train station with that same person they've now posted fliers all over the area in hopes that someone recognizes hannah. the lapd now sharing this poster seeking help in their search for kobayashi. >> hannah, you are loved you're missed. yeah we're here for you us that after seeing the state of hannah on that surveillance video from the train station, they are concerned for her well-being. >> they wouldn't go into any further details because they don't want to jeopardize the investigation. but we did reach out to the lapd. they couldn't give us an interview. they did say they are investing in this case, investigating rather in this case. and also the fbi is
