deregulating the airlines, enabling more people to be able to sort of democratizing the airline industry, the cable industry. >> he was famous for it at the time, even though later ronald reagan got all the credit for deregulating. someone said that jimmy carter ÷÷was the first republican president, because he did that, and so many other things. i mean, camp david, he -- he shepherded, if he hadn't put his elbow grease into it, he was the one who got israel and egypt to sign a peace treaty that's still in existence today. >> yeah. >> he, you know, he started fema. the list goes on and on, what he did. he had -- he had energy policy that was successful. >> he had the longest post- presidency, 43 years. when he left office, did you anticipate -- did you ever anticipate kind of the post- presidency that he would have?

>> no, nobody did. i don't even think he did. >> that's really come to define him in so many people's eyes. >> yes, but what we're seeing now in his death is that he was far more successful in what he done as president than we thought at the time. it was a really happy marriage. >> the thing i still can't believe which i learned from talking to somebody from his hometown the day he died, that his mom actually delivered rosalynn. and so he actually saw rosalynn when he was 3 years old. he came over to the house, looked over the bassinet at the newborn rosalynn carter. >> his mother delivered rosalynn carter. i don't think i of knew that. >> it's incredible. lesley, always such a pleasure to have you. >> nice to work with you in person. >> we cross in the hallway

all the time. i appreciate it. the news continues on cnn. out front next, the breaking news. the leader of the proud boys emboldened, asking trump for a pardon on the anniversary of the january 6 th insurrection as new cnn reporting raises questions whether trump would be president if it weren't for missteps by merrick garland. a doctor determined to stop rfk jr. warning people could die if he becomes the nation's top health official. governor green will be out front this hour. and america's closest allies warning trump about elon musk. how come? let's go out front. and good evening. i'm erin burnett. outfront on this monday we have breaking news. the proud boy pardon. the leader of the proud boys enrique tarrio asking president-elect donald trump for a pardon today. four years to the day after the violent insurrection on capitol hill. the members of the proud boys and other trump supporters stormed the united states capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

tarrio right now is serving a 22- year sentence for seditious conspiracy and leading a plot to prevent the transfer of power. his attorney is speaking to one person now and one person only to plea. trump. writing, "enrique tarrio was portrayed throughout the government case as a right- wing extremist that promote aid neofascist militant organization. henry is nothing more than a proud american that believes in true conservative values. " just to be clear, this is what tarrio said on tape just days before january 6 th. >> there's ways that you can enact change. get armed and go to the capitol. as crazy as that sounds, like yeah, i think that's the way you make the biggest noise. >> getting armed, going to the capitol. true conservative values. ub trump's push to pardon january 6th convicted rioters is now meeting resistance in his own party.

trump's close ally senator lindsey graham raising a red flag about a blanket pardon. >> the power to exercise. the people who beat up police officers. >> one of them in this video using a police officer's shield to bust out a window in the capitol, allowing rioters to flood in. and now today four years after those moments trump today was certified as the president- elect of the usa. >> today was obviously a very important day. and it was about what should be the norm and what the american people should be able to take for granted, which is that one of the most important pillars of our democracy is that there will be a peaceful transfer of power. >> of course the vice

president is tasked, right? with certifying the election. and she did that. it was a calm, respectful procedure. a moment that might make us all forget that feeling four years ago that we had when we sat glued to whatever your screen of choice was, maybe you were even moved to tears that day, watching a terrifying, horribly un-american moment. and just look at pictures from that day that you're looking at here compared to today. you had trump supporters scaling the walls of the u.s. capitol then. four years later the capitol quiet. just snow on the steps and the major snowstorm. then you had officers clashing with insurrectionists, the capitol hallways. remember that moment when mitt romney suddenly turns and runs. today those hallways just filled with law enforcement officials. these jarring juxtapositions coming as tonight the "washington post" is reporting that president biden is saying in private that he made a mistake, specifically that he should have picked someone else, not merrick garland, to be attorney general.

it's an incredible thing to say. and why? why would biden be saying this? specifically because of how slow the justice department under merrick garland was in prosecuting trump for january 6th. and our evan perez is reporting tonight exclusively that within the justice department a source is telling him that the justice department, quote, wasted time. other former justice officials telling evan that the charges could have been brought a whole year earlier. now, that is a wow moment. that is something that could have changed where trump is standing tonight. what happened today and in fact the entire arc of american history. evan perez is out front. telling evan that the charges could have been brought a whole year earlier. now, that is a wow moment. that is something that could have changed where trump is standing tonight, what happened today and in fact the entire arc of american history. >> the incoming president is not -- >> first that breaking news

on a possible pardon tonight. what more are you learning about request by former proud boys leader enrique tarrio for a full pardon from trump? >> erin, the incoming president is not really saying exactly how he's going to go forward with these pardons. but enrique tarrio is one of the ones that i think would get a lot of pushback from people like lindsey graham, people in the -- in the president's circle who support law enforcement. remember, enrique tarrio had one of the longest sentences, 22 years for seditious conspiracy. he's one of over 1,500 people who've been charged with crimes related to january 6th. you know that over 600 of those were charged with assaulting police officers and other crimes related to the violence that day. and of course as you know the proud boys were at the center of a lot of the most extreme violence we saw that day.

just that evening you had law enforcement trying to regain control of the capitol so you can certify the vote. and the proud boys were the ones that were leading that resistance. certainly if donald trump decides to give enrique tarrio a pardon it would certainly send a strong message about what else he plans to do with the rest of these people charged that day. >> it certainly would. and of course the irony that tarrio's attorney earlier said that everything he did was at the direction of trump, blamed trump, and now of course he's appealing to him with a very different message. you're here on january 6th, evan. trump's election win is certified by vice president kamala harris. an incredible moment to just think about for a moment. and you have extensive new reporting tonight on whether we'd even be here in this context if attorney general merrick garland had charged trump earlier for his actions on january 6th. what are you hearing from your sources inside the doj? >> reporter: i think one of the things you're hearing right now is people are taking

stock of what could have been, right? and one of the things that did happen in that first year of the investigation in 2021, erin, we had information about a possible meeting between donald trump and members of the proud boys. that was one of the things that the justice department prosecutors really bore in on to try to figure out whether that actually happened. they also spent time looking into that willard room, that willard hotel room as well as the financial ties with some of the rioters who did come to the capitol. in the end as you know that one year ended up really finding no direct ties to trump. so one of the things you hear from people who were involved in the investigation, we talked to about a dozen people, one of the things that they said was we could have probably brought this case a lot earlier. i'll read you just a part of one thing they said. one person we talked to, they wasted time, they were not strategic and they said "in the end they ended up helping trump with the primary and dividing

the country. " and i guess certainly in the end of this, erin, there's a lot of regrets there at the justice department. they do believe, though, that they had to go down all of these investigative leads before bringing these charges. >> all right. well, evan, please stay with us. i want to bring in ryan goodman, our "outfront" legal analyst. he's also co-editor in chief of just security. along with former republican congressman adam kinzinger, who served on the january 6th committee. ryan, just to start with these pardons, you've looked extensively at these january 6th defendants. you've gone through every single one with extensive analysis on just security. enrique tarrio specifically, when you look at pardons, do you think trump will help him? >> i think he's probably one of the last in line. and he serves the 22- year sentence because it's the longest sentence that's been given because of how responsible he is for the attack on the capitol. he's not just under the category that lindsey graham identified as somebody who's responsible for assaults on law enforcement officers that day who might

have been caught up in the mayhem it was a conspiracy that was premeditated. the government has their encrypted messages where they're planning to overwhelm the police defenses through the use of violence and then during that afternoon when we all saw what we saw on the television screens he actually sends an encrypted message to his proud boys at 2:39 p.m. that says "make no mistake, we did this. " so that's this person you would think that president trump would actually have an interest in saying this is the guy who did it, not me. he preplanned the whole thing. it wasn't i said on the ellipse, they were going to do it no matter what. >> tarrio's attorney earlier made the argument, congressman, that everything tarrio did was direction in every way, shape and form of donald trump. now they're singing a very different tune. but is there any line that trump can cross with republicans including senator graham as you see it now when it comes to these pardons? >> i mean, this is interesting. like with graham saying -- he prefaced his statement with the president can do what he wants. right? every one of these people that

are about to say the president can do what they want had real issues with the hunter biden pardon. right? so let's just be clear about that. i don't know if there's going to be any line yet. i mean, let's say the president does pardon enrique tarrio. you know, maybe lindsey graham will put out a stiffly worded statement. but they're not going to do anything about that. and it will be news for a couple of days. so i actually expect at least maybe commuting the sentence. i expect donald trump is going to go pretty far on this stuff. you know, it's not going to be great for justice. and by the way, the justice department absolutely should have started this investigation. they basically started the investigation after we on the committee began presenting our evidence. and we didn't have near the tools they had. so it's really sad, disappointing and upsetting. >> to that reporting, evan's reporting, it is stunning. you heard what congressman kinzinger's saying. they could have gone so much earlier. they could have, should have. but evan's reporting also says there are people within

the justice department who are saying they wasted time. >> evan's reporting is incredible because it's talking about prosecutors themselves, people inside the justice department saying look, we spent a lost year, we just lost an entire year because we were investigating if there was any tie between donald trump and the proud boys or the violence at the capitol. which is remarkable. why would you start there to try to build a case up against donald trump? why wouldn't you just start where they ended, which is the false electors scheme, the scheme against mike pence? those were out in the open. and it's actually may 2022 that the justice department for the first time even subpoenas the national archives just to get the white house documents from that period of time. that's well over a year since january 6th. so it just shows you how slow they were to finally get to the case that they could indict. >> evan, what all this comes down to is the real question as we look at these juxtapositions of the images from four years ago and the images from tonight and vice president kamala harris certifying the victory of her rival, donald trump, to be the president-elect of the united

states. i mean, it's an incredible moment. i mean, evan, if trump had been charged sooner, do you think that we would be here? he's charged sooner, all sorts of things, that gets you a verdict, that gets you sentencing. it opens the possibility for a very different world. do you think we'd be here seeing trump's election victory certified if the justice department had moved sooner? >> it is possible. but keep in mind the other thing that we have to sort of bear in mind is the supreme court. right? the supreme court really did eat up about seven months of the calendar, of the four years. right? and one of the things that they did do when they did finally grant this broad immunity to the president, they said also that you have to come back to us and we will have to relitigate whether you really can go forward with these charges. so we'll never know. but certainly part of the problem was just the rapidly expiring calendar and the fact that on this day back four years ago donald trump was a

pariah and very quickly republicans decided not so much anymore. >> congressman kinzinger, to this other reporting here also, the "washington post" reporting tonight, and this fits with what evan, you know -- maybe in response to evan's reporting. but president biden privately regrets naming garland, specifically because of how slowly the doj moved. i mean, it's interesting that something like that is actually leaking to the "washington post" at this moment, congressman. but pretty significant that president biden is saying that. >> yeah, it is remarkable. and i think there's a lot of frustration. and i want to be clear. i think the frustration, you know, at least on my end and probably on the president's end has nothing to do with like we really wanted retribution and that didn't happen fast enough. it's about the department of justice certainly had jack smith presented his case, he would have had information that the committee was unable to get because they had more tools, they were able to kind of pick up where we left off and they probably had much deeper stuff. it's about the american people deserving to know who

they're electing as president, deserving to know what actually happened on january 6th. and they're not going to get that information. we always pretend like, we pretend in politics like sunlight is awesome and we want all information out in the public. in this case that would have for people going -- maybe they still would have elected trump. i don't know. but they deserved to know all that the justice department knew. >> right. and that they didn't have. you don't know what would be the alternate history here. but you know that they didn't have all that information. and they didn't have it at certain crucial points as you heard that justice department official telling evan, right? that they believe their inaction and slowness served to help him in the primary, divide the primary and continue that path. but there are people, ryan, who are going to be held to account. one of them is rudy giuliani. rudy giuliani has a judge tonight holding him in contempt for failure to turn over information to the two georgia election workers that he has been obviously found guilty and he owes them $150 million in damages. trump can't bail him

out of this case. so you've got a rudy giuliani who somehow is going to pay the piper. trump's president. talk about a path in the woods, two paths diverge in the woods. what happens to giuliani now? >> so i think giuliani's in deep trouble. it looks as though there's no way out for him from this particular proceeding, which means that he's going to lose most of his assets and it looks like he might very well now have lost his home in florida because of his contempt of the court. we'll see what happens. but i think that's a good likelihood. and then he still faces criminal liability and exposure in georgia if that case is resurrected. it could be against him. and he's indicted in arizona for carrying out the false electors scheme. so he really has been left in the lurch in a certain sense in ways in which donald trump as president cannot reach into any of those proceedings and try to pry it loose. >> congressman, i'm curious, trump has referred to january 6th as a day of love. today one of your former colleagues, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene also referred to it as a day of love. a day where -- you were there.

what do you think when you hear that version now and have to deal with the very real possibility that that version becomes as much the truth as the truth itself? >> well, let's be very clear. today was a very peaceful day. had kamala harris won, who knows? right? i guess we don't know. but it would be hard to see that. look, they keep talking about this day of love stuff. i almost think that they're reveling in being able to just blatantly lie about it. and they kind of find it funny. and frankly a lot of the people that are saying it was a day of love, they know it wasn't. they know that that was a trump- inspired insurrection. but they love being able to just stand there and kind of stick it to the libs, satellite that's kind of what they say. and say it was a day of love. i think history ultimately is going to be very accurate on what happened on january 6th. once donald trump is out of office in four years he'll be far less popular than he went into office. i think people are going

to be tired of him. and i think january 6th is going to be on the forefront again in terms of what he did and what he means to democracy. so i think our committee's record now is going to be basically the only official record and i think it's going to be reflected well in the history books. >> all right. congressman, thank you very much. ryan, evan, thank both of you very much. and next, the governor of hawaii. also happens to be a doctor. happens to be in washington tonight. maybe he wanted to see the snow. warning senators, though, about why rfk jr., he says if he becomes health and human services secretary people could die. he's my next guest. plus, trudeau goes down. trump taking credit for this. calling him the governor of the 51st state. and now trump moments ago saying, quote, if and when greenland becomes part of our nation as his son prepares for a visit to the country. and breaking news president bide benn to speak at a prayer service for the victims of the new orleans terror attack as we're learning new details tonight about those smart glasses, the ones that were used by the killer to scope out and videotape the

scene in advance.

let's say you're deep in a show or a game or the game. on a train, at home, at work. okay, maybe not at work. point is at xfinity. we're constantly engineering new ways to get the entertainment you love to you faster and easier than ever. that's what i do. is that love island?

tonight, donald trump claiming a mandate, speaking out in a new radio interview. >> in my first term people were fighting me. all the way. they were just fighting me. in this term it's so different. i think -- i don't want to say people have given up because that's not nice. but they recognize that we really do have that mandate. >> some people, though, are still fighting, including the democratic governor of hawaii, josh green. and he is in washington, d.c. tonight. he's meeting with senators to make his case against trump's pick for health and human services secretary robert f. kennedy jr. governor green is also an e.r. room physician. and governor, i appreciate your time. let me just start here with, you know, you've been very blunt about your feelings about trump. you have said, using your words, that he has a quote

narcissistic personality disorder and that he, quote, doesn't care about human beings. you don't mince words. you've said what you believe. he won. he's talking about having a mandate and people not fighting him anymore. what's your reaction to that? >> well, my reaction is this, that the president has been re-elected and he has to lead a country in a way that will take care of our people and protect people who are vulnerable. some of his nominees are not the right choices. today i'm here to talk about rfk jr. now, the challenge there is this gentleman has no experience as a public health official whatsoever, no training. he's not a health care provider. and we crossed paths in the past over a tragedy that occurred in samoa near my state of hawaii. so any president, president trump or president biden, anyone has to look out for the people. if you put directors in, the secretary of health and human services is a critical position, and it results in our people getting harmed, then you haven't done the right thing by the people. and rfk jr. has really

given me pause about what he might do. he could actually damage the health of our nation terribly if he behaves like he did in samoa. >> so can we talk about samoa? samoa is where he went and had raised skepticism about vaccines and a lot of people opted not to get vaccinated. people died. you were summoned. and as i said, you're a doctor. and you went and -- right after his visit. and were part of a group that tried to mass vaccinate i believe, you'll correct me if i wrote the number down here wrong, but 37,000 people. so what did you see in that moment? >> so what i saw was i saw children who had died from the measles. and it was beyond tragic. what happened in samoa, two children died about a year before from human error. two nurses made a mistake with the reagents around the vaccine. and when rfk jr. got to samoa he went and through what's called the children's defense

fund, which is a non- profit that he essentially founded and pushes, he used misinformation to scare all of the people of samoa away from being vaccinated. he did not share what actually happened. he torpedoed their vaccination program. he met with the prime minister and the minister of health. i met with the same people. he basically scared them away from vaccinations. vaccinations then dropped for measles, mumps and rubella down to 31% for their country. and if you get anywhere lower than, say, 90% to 95%, you get huge outbreaks of these diseases. so suddenly because of the misinformation that he was sharing no one got vaccinated. then there was a huge explosion of measles. over 5,000 cases we could account for. and 83 people died. most of them children. when i spoke to the minister of health, she asked if we could bring a medical mission team. we of course agreed. and we brought over 70 people, health care providers, myself included. we worked with their health department, and we vaccinated the 37,000 people and measles

stopped. but we would go from village to village where they would tie a red sash or ribbon on a tree or post saying that they wanted to be vaccinated. it's much like you see in the old testament, actually, where people want the angel of death to pass over. and what we saw was the angel of death had not passed over, in fact had taken the lives right in front of our very eyes, of an infant girl. and she was still warm. you could see the terrible rash on her. these are the worst cases i've ever seen. and i've been a health care provider for decades now. with the national health service and so on. we saw that she had just passed away. her face and body were still warm. she was not breathing. i put my stethoscope to her heart, her lungs. the family immediately went into mourning. we quickly held a ceremony. and then we vaccinated their

if he is confirmed there would be some good that comes out of it. or do you just think no? >> the main position he would get to espouse and have influence over are the things i'm talking about like vaccination rates. i fought for years against pesticide use. but he's not going to get near any of those issues. mr. trump will have nothing to do with that. it's also interesting because very ironically, and this is a

positive, he's been quite pro choice. and i'm very surprised that many of the conservatives in the senate are even remotely considering rfk jr. but i'm talking about the core public health needs our country has. imagine if he defunded the nih, national institute of health like he's talking about for up to eight years, so that we don't have any health research. he's also talking about stopping research on infectious diseases completely. he's talked about the virus being created to attack everyone but ashkenazi jew s and i think one other group. some of these things are so outlandish they definitely don't describe serious thinking from a health care professional. so of course you can throw a dart at a board and sometimes hit a good idea. but our children will be vulnerable. and you saw just from a little bit of misinformation when he was nothing but a celebrity and he was in samoa he killed people. what happens when he has the full control of a trillion- dollar agency and we stop doing research,

science-based research on diseases, disease states, medications, the medications that we need to help save people? the vaccinations that kept us from seeing tens of millions of people die from covid. it would be a tragedy. and so again, i can just say this as a physician who actually saw the carnage that he caused, i would ask people to pause and think carefully about what they will expose their constituents to if he does get confirmed. >> all right. >> there are a lot of these out there. and we will have a very extraordinary ride with president trump in the second term. i wish everyone in service well, but they have to make the decisions that will look out for people who are vulnerable. and this decision, putting rfk in control of our health system, is a very dangerous one. >> all right. well, governor green, i appreciate your time, and thank you very much for sharing that personality story as well that you had in samoa. >> thank you. >> and next, justin trudeau is out. trump taking credit for his demise just weeks after trudeau went to mar-a- lago to

kiss the ring. plus elon musk going after world leaders one by one. even some allies of trump. so what is going on?

new tonight, trump taking credit for taking down justin trudeau. the canadian prime minister, very well known on the world stage, announcing that he's going to step down just five weeks after he raced to mar-a-lago unannounced hoping to talk the president- elect out of punishing tariffs that trump has talked about slapping on canadian goods. trump today was quick to take credit for trudeau's downfall and resignation. once again also pushing for canada to join the united states, posting online in part,

"many people in canada love being the 51st state. the united states can no longer suffer the massive trade deficits and subsidies that canada needs to stay afloat. justin trudeau knew this and resigned. if canada merged with the u.s. there would be no tariffs. " paula newton begins our coverage. she is out tonight in ottawa with more. >> it's always a pleasure to sit down with president trump. >> reporter: even before his first term donald trump dismissed justin trudeau as a pretty boy, then called him dishonest when they met as leaders. >> well, he's two-faced. >> reporter: the relationship was combative. trudeau the antithesis of maga branding. an unapologetic progressive. still they muddled through trump's first term, even sealing a trade deal. but since his re- election trump has trolled trudeau, calling him governor and canada the 51st state. so when trudeau announced he'd be stepping down -- >> and it has become clear to me that if i'm having to fight internal battles i cannot

be the best option in that election. >> reporter: president- elect trump was less than generous, posting on truth social, "the united states can no longer suffer the massive trade deficits and subsidies that canada needs to stay afloat. justin trudeau knew this and resigned." >> i'm a fighter. every bone in my body has always told me to fight. >> reporter: somber as he spoke on a bitterly cold winter morning, trudeau admitted he was no longer wanted in the ring by his own party. >> i intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister. >> reporter: trudeau's undoing with canadians and his party sounds strikingly similar to president joe biden's fate. inflation and affordable housing crisis, an increase in legal immigration that has put a strain on public services, it has all soured voters on his nine-year-old government. the conservative party leader, led by career politician pierre

poleiev, opened a more than 20% margin in polls in part by doing its own trolling online, most recently calling trudeau and his government wacko. >> what happens if they run a government? >> reporter: maga's base has taken notice, shout outs like this one from megyn kelly. "can we get him in our country? " but it was cristia vreeland, trudeau's right hand and finance minister, that was the tipping point. she resigned a few weeks ago and in a letter called trudeau's recent tax cuts political game skpikz lecturing him that canada needed a stronger fiscal position to battle america first foreign policy. even a quick trip to mar-a- lago in november did not come off as the strongest move as president-elect trump still threatened 25% tariffs on canadian imports, chirping governor trudeau in his posts. >> and erin, you know that chirping as i call it, it can cut both ways. in some ways in canada among voters and politicians

it's already stiffened resolve. you interviewed doug ford the ontario premier about his threats to cut energy exports to the united states. today he said look, i've got a counter offer for donald trump. maybe we'll take alaska, minnesota. why not? so for anyone who takes over from justin trudeau certainly how they deal with at times a capricious and threatening donald trump will factor in their political fate. >> absolutely. paula, thank you very much. paula mentioning the premier of ontario doug ford. he is back with me now. and premier ford, paula talking about your response today. so when trump today said many people in canada love being the 51st state, he put the word "love" in all caps. "together what a great nation it would be. " respond to that? on a certain level it was a joke. now here we are and justin trudeau is gone and your finance minister is gone, the entire government has sort of gone into

chaos. all on the back of these things trump has said. so when trump says this today about the 51st state, how do you respond? >> well, i can appreciate his sense of humor. and i kind of went back about buying alaska. but you know something, it's just not realistic. we're a sovereign country. we're proud yands canadians just like americans are proud. what i want to make sure is we build a fortress, making sure we're the strongest and richest and most prosperous two countries in the entire world. we have a tremendous amount to offer the united states as we have over the years, no matter if it's our energy or our critical minerals. and that's what we want to do. we want to make sure we're stronger together, and people are realizing with the ads we're running. >> how worried are you, premier, that regardless of who the next prime minister is, that what's happened here is that regardless of how much trump is joking

or not joking he actually really isn't joking in the sense that he's going to get what he wants. he's going to get what he wants as president and he's going to get canada to do whatever he wants it to do because he's dangling these tariffs over your head? >> well, he had two requests. cleaning up the border, which i agree 100%, which we're doing. and 2 personato commitment, which i agree with that as well. but canada does two- way trade with the u.s. we're the largest shipping partner. we ship down 3. 3 million barrels of oil every single day. we send electricity down to the u.s. , critical minerals. these are all areas in different sectors that americans need. and why disrupt that? we're two great countries, strongest allies in the world, friends. so we need to get through this and start talking about trade. >> so the president- elect, you know, when you talk about calling canada the 51st state, he has also been talking

about greenland in a similar capacity as in the united states taking it over. and of course it's a territory of denmark. and again he was talking about greenland tonight saying -- and i don't know if you had a chance to see this, premier, maybe not because you were literally hooked up to talk to us. he posts, "i'm hearing that the people of greenland are maga. my son don jr. and various representatives will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights. greenland is an incredible place and the people will definite tremendously if and when it becomes part of our nation. make greenland great again. " mean, i don't need to tell you this, but let's just throw a map up here. greenland is next to canada. it's the big giant white thing currently, as i said, a territory of denmark. so, i mean, do you really just think it's all a joke? >> well, god bless greenland. canada is no greenland, i can assure you of that. we're strong nations. we're a strong nation.

we have massive trade with the u.s. 9 million americans wake up every morning, erin, to produce products for ontario alone. our trade is split equally down the middle of $500 billion. and no matter if it's the critical minerals that china has cut the u.s. off of, we have the critical minerals no, matter if it's nickel. let's start onshoring jobs, american jobs and canadian jobs. the problem isn't canada. i've talked to so many governors and congresspeople and senators. never once did they say canada's the problem. i'll tell you who the problem is. china's the problem. china's shipping in cheap parts, putting them through mexico. mexico's slapping a made in mexico sticker on and shipping it up through the u.s. skpanda, costing american and canadian jobs. that's unacceptable and we need to look at a bilateral deal with the u.s. >> well, premier ford, i appreciate your time and thank you very much, sir. >> thank you so much, erin. >> all right. and next, world leaders,

macron and starmer, taking on el musk, calling him out. we'll tell you why, what's going on. plus the man behind the deadly new orleans terror attack relied on new sort of high- tech glasses to help carry out the massacre. we're going to show you exactly what they are, how he used them.

tonight, a close u.s. ally urging trump to rethink his relationship with elon musk. senior british politicians warning that musk could tarnish trump's reputation as the world's richest man goes after uk prime minister keir starmer. that's according to bloomberg. tonight starmer and french emmanuel macron are hitting back. nic robertson is out front.

>> reporter: elon musk is gunning for world leaders. in his crosshairs uk prime minister keir starmer. alleging failings in a child sexual abuse scandal when starmer was the uk's chief prosecutor more than a decade ago. and posting this question to his followers. if america should liberate the people of britain from their tyrannical government. starmer firing back. >> we've seen this playbook many times. whipping up of intimidation, threats of violence. >> reporter: musk's inaccurate and sensationalist accusations are catching uk politicians off guard. his trolling of starmer is not new. last summer claiming racist riots were tipping the uk into civil war. but this and his international meddling is reaching new levels. since becoming president- elect donald trump's adviser

musk's words have more muscle. the power pair have teamed up on calls with world leaders. notably with volodymyr zelenskyy one day after the u.s. presidential elections. but it is musk's right- wing push picking up on what former trump strategist and adviser steve bannon began eight years ago, championing europe's far right populist disruptors that has europe's leaders worried. >> translator: ten years ago if we'd been told that the owner of the world's largest social media networks would support an international reactionary movement and directly interfere in elections including germany. >> reporter: musk also supporting the hard right afd, alternative for germany party, which has been accused of resurrecting nazi rhetoric. ahead of elections there next month. but musk is going further right than bannon, attacking a

staunch trump ally, nigel farraj, saying farraj doesn't have what it takes to lead his upstart reform uk party. farage, the british populist who pushed breksist, just hours before musk's putdown had counted the tech titan a supporter who might finance his fledgling party. >> the fact that he supports me politically and supports reform doesn't mean i have to agree with every single statement he makes on x. >> reporter: why the falling out? possibly differences over this man, known as tommy robinson, a jailed anti- muslim campaigner who fanned the flames of racist riots last summer. musk praises him. farage doesn't. the question in europe now, how far right will musk go? and concern here in the uk has gone to such a level that the leader of the third largest party has suggested that the government should call in the u.s. ambassador to pass a message to the white house saying that anyone in

government there should be very careful about speaking about british government affairs. erin? >> all right, nic, thank you very much. interesting twist there. and next, we have some breaking news. president biden is speaking right now at a memorial forfor victims of the new orleans terror attack as we are learning more tonight about exactly how the killer used high- tech glasses to plan and execute his attack.

point demonstrating the glasses in front of a mirror, revealing his face. >> it's part of his preattack surveillance where he was involved in the planning stage. the glasses allow him to take everything in, absorb all that data, review it later when he's alone. it allows you complete anonymity. and i think that's what he was looking for. data collection and anonymity. >> the next generation of ray- ban meta smart glasses. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: these are the ray- ban meta sunglasses. they have cameras built in and speakers and an ai assistant. you can even tell it to do things like hey meta, take a video. and once it starts recording there's a white light that starts flashing here. and as i look around you would not even know that i'm recording video. this is what investigators believe the suspect did on two different occasions. the camera glasses can take photos and record up to three minutes of video and also be livestreamed to facebook or instagram. though authorities say that while the attacker was found wearing the glasses on the day of the attack, they
