their patients for cancer. and of course, to reduce our own risk. we should all know our family history. talk to your doctor about your personal risk factors. talk with your doctor about when you should get screened, how frequently, and of course, maintain those typical health tips like you see here. maintaining a healthy diet. getting regular exercise, avoiding smoking. don't drink too much. these are all things we can do to really reduce our risk. at a time when we are seeing these surprising trends. kate. >> absolutely. jacqueline, thank you so much for laying it out for us. i really appreciate it. a new hour of cnn news central starts right now. >> all right. we do have breaking news. moments ago, learning new details about what appears to be a road bump inside the negotiations inside

the processing for the israel-hamas ceasefire hostage deal. we are reporting on this. we are trying to find out as many new details as we can. this is cnn news central. >> breaking news this morning. getting right to it. there are new developments in the ceasefire deal between israel and hamas. the big deal that was announced just yesterday, well, moments ago, there's new reporting that key members of the of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's war cabinet, they're threatening to quit if israel does not return to war in gaza after the first phase of the deal has passed. cnn reporting is that could lead to the collapse of the israeli government. there is a lot of developments that we need to get to, and a lack of clarity where we need lots of

clarity. teams in washington and israel to help us through this. cnn's jeremy diamond, let me start with you, jeremy. what's the latest? >> well, kate, the israeli prime minister is facing somewhat of a domestic political crisis within his own governing coalition. >> that is because after the cease fire agreement was officially announced by the united states, qatar and egypt last night, the israeli prime minister has yet to bring this document before his security cabinet and before the full cabinet for an up or down vote, in order to put the israeli government's full seal of approval. behind this cease fire and hostage release deal. the israeli prime minister's office says the reason that that vote, which was supposed to begin to take place this morning, has been delayed, is because they say hamas is making some last minute demands as they iron out some of the implementation details of this agreement, including parts related to the release of palestinian prisoners in these negotiations

in doha. they say that they will not bring this agreement before the israeli cabinet until those issues are first resolved. but we know that that's not the only thing that's happening here. and hamas, for its part, we should note, has said that they are fully committed to this deal. the united states has not brought up to, to this point any major issues that are happening in doha right now. but what we do know is that the israeli prime minister is facing issues within his own governing coalition. bezalel smotrich, the far right wing finance minister, he is demanding that the israeli prime minister provide him with assurances that israel will go back to the war in gaza after the first phase of this agreement is over, meaning after that six week ceasefire is over, 33 israeli hostages will have gotten out. but that would sabotage any possibility of getting to phases two and three, which would involve the release of all of the remaining israeli hostages and perhaps lead to an end of the war in gaza. and so, at this hour, it's really unclear what the israeli prime minister will do,

whether or not he can resolve that issue with bezalel smotrich, or whether another solution is going to need to be found. but certainly the president, trump and president biden have all made clear this deal is done and the israeli prime minister is going to have trouble backtracking from that. kate. >> all right. jeremy, thank you so much for that perspective. let's get over now to washington. alex marquardt is standing by. one thing that is clear in all of this is that to getting to this point, both the outgoing president of the united states and the incoming president of the united states played important roles in getting this over the finish line. what are you hearing, though? now, alex, about, i'll call it confusion. even though we're hearing from the white house, they fully expect this to be implemented. what are you hearing? >> yeah. kate, i don't think either side it's fair to say biden or trump camps wanted to be here this morning with this kind of uncertainty from the israeli side. but what we are hearing from both the white

house and from the trump team is an expectation that this will go forward. the deputy national security adviser, jon finer, speaking to you just a short time ago, saying they're still confident. we've heard the same from from john kirby and we've also heard the same from trump's incoming national security advisor, mike waltz. they're talking about implementation, implementation details. so so what does that mean? i mean, there are a lot of machinations that go into place when this deal starts. how do the hostages come out from gaza? how do the palestinian prisoners come out from those israeli prisons? and where do they go? the question over the humanitarian aid, the the palestinian civilians inside gaza who want to go back to their homes in the north. so there are all these moving parts that need to be set in motion and implemented correctly. so that's what i think the various officials, including finer speaking to you, mean about these implementation implementation details. so you can be sure that the top trump and biden officials, who we believe are still in the middle east, so

brett mcgurk from the white house, steve witkoff from the trump team, who were in doha just yesterday finalizing these details, you can be sure that they are working on this right now to make sure that this gets across the finish line. regardless, this was truly a historic coordination and cooperation between the two teams. normally, as you know, kate, an incoming white house essentially inherits all of the issues from the previous white house here. during the transition process, they were working in lockstep. as soon as steve witkoff was named the trump middle east advisor, he started traveling to the region. he went to israel, he went to doha, he started speaking with the biden team, really getting steeped in all of these very complicated issues. you know, this was a framework that biden put forward eight months ago. but at the same time that the biden team has not been able to get it across the finish line, there's been a lot that has changed in those last eight months, a lot more factors that put pressure both on israel and on hamas. but at the same time,

one of the key factors certainly was the election of donald trump. and even if this goes into effect under president biden on sunday, most of this is going to fall to incoming president trump to oversee kate. >> absolutely. alex, thank you so much. jeremy diamond in tel aviv for us. we're going to get back to jeremy for sure throughout the day as well. thanks, guys. really appreciate it, john. >> with me now is congressman jared moskowitz, a democrat from florida. congressman, thank you so much for being with us. a bump in the road, at least from now. for now, how concerned are you with this apparent delay in voting on this hostage and ceasefire deal? >> well, thanks, john. thanks for having me. well, look, obviously serving in the house. i've seen many deals get brokered and votes get delayed. and so sometimes that happens when you're trying to get something very complicated passed. and the israelis know they're making a deal with the devil in hamas. and so i'm sure there's all sorts of concern

that hamas is trying to add new prisoners that aren't agreed to at the last moment, or whether hamas is going to live up to their end of the deal or, you know, taking pressure off of hamas. we've seen the pressure on hezbollah work. what we saw, obviously, the collapse in syria. all of this is connected. we've seen iran's inability to actually launch a real military campaign, which they've threatened to wipe israel off the face of the earth. and so their capabilities are questioned. so all of these factors are going into how best to move forward in the region and in gaza. the future of gaza, the most important thing, as you know, is getting these hostages home. so i'm i'm happy with the deal i give president biden and president trump credit. they both deserve credit. both their teams worked on this. but i'm sure mike walz, who's the, you know, incoming national security advisor, is telling the israelis, you know, to get this, get this deal done, no one, no, no president biden or trump want to come out and take credit for a deal and then have the deal unravel. >> you say you give the incoming administration credit. you also give president biden

credit for getting this deal done if it does, in fact, get done. again, we're waiting on the israeli cabinet. you give the biden administration less credit, and i'm putting that euphemistically for a decision that was made in the last few days vis a vis cuba, taking him off the state sponsor of terror list. >> yeah. i mean, look, that that to me is a total misstep at the end of the biden administration. okay. why did why didn't they do that, you know, a while ago? and the answer is they're doing it out the door. and so i think that should be obvious to everyone. cuba does not belong off the terror watch list. off the designation, okay? they harbor terrorists. they assist terrorists. all the evidence is there for that. and that's not even talking about human rights violations and what they do to political prisoners in cuba. and so i think that's a mistake. my guess is, is that the incoming secretary of state, marco rubio, is going to put that back on, you know, or at least ask the the incoming president to put that back on. we kind of saw that dance at the end of the obama

administration as well, from the political ramifications coming from someone from florida. you know, we've stood with the cuban community in in south florida. and i can tell you they are very against this move by the biden administration. and from a political standpoint, florida was already moving towards being a red state. i can tell you now, this is waving the white flag of surrender. florida will be a red state with this decision at the end of the biden administration. and that's a problem for the electoral map for democrats, you or switching committees. >> people got used to watching you on the oversight committee, you know, going after in some cases, the chair james comer now you're moving to judiciary and you talk about florida politics and florida pam bondi who will likely be the next attorney general from florida. what do you see as your biggest concerns vis a vis the incoming attorney general? >> well, first, john, don't talk negatively about my friend james comer. okay. and just because and just because i'm

leaving oversight doesn't mean i'm leaving. james, i promise you, you know, as far as pam bondi is concerned, obviously, i know the incoming attorney general. i was in the legislature when she was the attorney general of florida when the shooting happened at my high school at marjory stoneman douglas six years ago. she was the attorney general at that time and was involved in not just the response, but when we put together the marjory stoneman douglas school safety commission to investigate what went wrong that day, and then to work on legislation to make sure something like that never happened again. and so i know her fairly well. obviously, we have many political disagreements, but she is very capable, and i think she'll wind up serving well as the attorney general. >> there have been rumors that you were being considered to be the fema administrator in the trump administration. can you 100% tell us this morning that's not going to happen? >> well, i mean, you can't accept something that's never been offered. and so, you know,

that was rumors and innuendo. and i think that was just people looking at the fact that i had worked for ron desantis for two and a half years as the florida director of emergency management. look, john, the one thing i'll always say, which is why i've not come out and just totally said, no, no, no, i mean, look, i plan on staying in congress, running for reelection, but fema is a nonpartisan agency, and it should always remain that way. and so should disaster aid and disaster response. it should always be nonpartisan. we saw reports in florida, right, that some people with trump flags didn't get their aid. that should not be allowed to happen, okay. everyone should be able to get their aid. and so for me, fighting for whether it's a republican administration picking a democrat or a democrat administration picking a republican, which has happened many times at fema and at emergency management agencies in different states across the country, i think is very important because politics has nothing to do with saving people's lives. when disasters strike. and so, look, i'm not under consideration. i'm staying in congress, but i do

think every administration should not just look at their political party to lead fema. they should look at anybody who's qualified to lead that agency. >> all right, congressman, still, congressman jared moskowitz, thanks for being with us this morning. appreciate your time. >> kate also this morning, a brief and needed break from the brutal winds in southern california, where most red flag warnings have now expired. forecasters do warn, though, that the winds will return early next week as the two biggest wildfires that they've been battling are still far from being fully contained. as of this morning, cal fire says more than 40,000 acres have burned across the region. more than 12,000 homes and other structures destroyed. cnn's stephanie elam is in pacific palisades for us once again. joining us once again. stephanie, what are you seeing this morning and what are you hearing from people now? >> yeah, i can tell you that. you're talking about those hotspots and making sure that the fire is fully contained.

we've seen fire trucks out here in the darkness still looking for hotspots, putting them out. and then there's a huge concern about the quality of the air here. l.a. county coming out yesterday and saying, listen. air quality index may not tell you what's really there, because the particles from the fires may not be picked up by their sensors. so they're telling everyone to wear their masks, especially when you're in places like this where you can see that there's just mass contamination. and so what is happening now is the epa has $100 million budget, 500 people coming in to go through and make sure that they can clean up some of this toxicity, the toxic ash, the all of the chemicals that may have burned those electric batteries, the batteries in the electric vehicles, making sure that those are stable, which they may not be after fire and clearing that all out and the top layer of the soil, having to get all that out. the county has made it so that people can't do it themselves. they don't want people clearing it out because it is so toxic. and that's also part of the reason why people aren't allowed back

into this area right now. and there's no clear timeframe on when they will be back here. there are 30% through the damage assessment here in the palisades fire, but it's just the scale of all of this is just so massive, kate, that that is taking a long time. and then also there's going to be lessons that have to be learned from what happened here. and just look at this house next door, this whole block is complete destruction. but then you look at the house next door and it is standing. it almost looks perfect. you can see by some of the branches in that tree in front that the fire was blowing past it. that way, the way it's bending. but somehow that house survived. so. but still, that house is there. there's no saying for sure whether or not the infrastructure, the piping, the cables, all of that have to be replaced. so even for people who do still have a home, there's still a lot of questions on how they get back up. and so this whole process is going to take a long, long time. in fact, it could be 3 to

6 months before they're able to get all of this debris out of here. >> kate and stephanie, you're hitting on something that i think is really just starting to the picture starting to become more clear, which is the the scale of the contamination is just it's so vast. it's going to take so long for people to get cleared by the epa to get back in and then honestly feel comfortable to be back there, that it's healthy enough for them. i mean, it's it's one thing after another after the initial emergency and tragedy. it's so much. thank you for being there. she's been doing such amazing reporting day in and day out on this. john. >> all right. speaker mike johnson boots the top republican on the house intelligence committee, who was reportedly blaming mar-a-lago for his ouster and new reporting on how some victims of the california wildfires are being offered free airbnb stays thanks to one nonprofit. and, quote, i like to read new explanation from eagles receiver a.j. brown after he was caught reading the infraction of reading a book on the

to remove him stemmed from, quote, concerns from mar-a-lago. speaker johnson, though, denies that the shakeup is to a key oversight panel like that one just days before donald trump is about to take office once again, is facing a lot of criticism, including from the top democrat on that very committee. cnn's lauren fox has much more on this. and this is one committee, lauren, where they often in the senate and the house, they pride themselves as working in a bipartisan way, which is critical when it comes to intelligence. that's why this is also getting so much attention. what is going on? >> yeah, i mean, what we heard last night from speaker johnson was that this was just an opportunity for him to refresh the leadership going into a new congress. here was what johnson's explanation was after this news broke last night. >> stephen miller. it's a new congress. we just need a fresh horses. and in some of these places is not a president trump decision. this

is a house decision. and this is no slight whatsoever to our our outgoing chairman. he did a great job. >> but as you noted, kate, there is some severe backlash from some democrats who have worked really closely with turner over the last several years, including the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, jim himes, who said in a statement, quote, his removal makes our nation less secure and is a terrible portent for what's to come. the constitution demands congress function as a check on the executive branch, not cater to its demands. he went on to tell us later, one of the reasons i was confident in mike's ability to do oversight was that he, you know, was not quick to bend the knee. and i think that that is the concern that you are hearing from a lot of democrats who are on this committee. we are awaiting who will johnson name to be the new chairman. we expect that news could come as

soon as today. >> kate let us see. lauren, thank you so much for your reporting. as always, john. >> all right. happening today. a final farewell from outgoing attorney general merrick garland to justice department employees. with us now, cnn crime and justice correspondent katelyn polantz. so what's that message going to be, caitlin, for a guy who's been in the spotlight every day the last four years? >> john, this message from merrick garland in his prepared remarks for his farewell address from the justice department. it's less about him and much more about the employees of the justice department. he wants to tell them to stay the course on the work that they're doing, the motivations they have to be civil servants, prosecutors. he wants to tell them to stay independent. >> and he also notes that he believes they have been wrongly criticized by people motivated much more by politics. here's a little excerpt of what garland plans to say today. >> i know that a lot is being asked of you right now, but before i leave, i have one more thing i want to ask of you.

that is to remember who you are and why you came to work here in the first place. >> you are public servants and patriots who swore an oath to support and defend the constitution. >> so he's really underlining the belief that the justice department should stay independent of the white house of politics. of all of those interests. but, john, this is a man who for much of his career stayed so far away from politics as a judge on the federal appellate court in d.c., as a supreme court nominee who never even got a confirmation hearing in the obama administration. and then now exiting his attorney general is very likely going to be remembered for the era of special counsel's, not just jack smith, but the two others he appointed during his tenure. and the criticism that has just rained down upon garland in the final months by democrats who wanted trump to go to trial and wondered why garland didn't move fast enough, and by

republicans who now john, have spent a lot of time trying to say that the justice department has become an agency of political weaponization. so garland is trying to put a button on this to put the focus back on the career employees in the government and to tell them stay the course. this department can remain independent. do your work. >> look for a guy who never wanted to be connected at all to politics. he's had a very complicated relationship with politics. now, going back well over a decade. katelyn polantz, thanks so much for being with us. appreciate it. so airbnb.org is offering hope for victims of the wildfires by offering them a way to find temporary housing for free. and happening now, you will love this. hawaii's kilauea volcano erupting this morning. >> subway's got a new meal of the day with chips and a drink for just 6.99. or if you're big

about this. joining me right now is the executive director of airbnb.org christoph gorder. christoph, thank you so much for coming in this morning. housing is literally at the center of this disaster. every picture we show includes entire communities just wiped out. what kind of help are you providing for victims of this disaster so far? how does it work? >> well, thanks for having me on. you know, first our hearts go out to all of the thousands and thousands of families that have been affected here. and so we've been able to help since last week. we activated on the first day on, on, on tuesday, last tuesday when the fire started. and since then we've been able to provide free stays in airbnbs, week long stays for for 25,000 people. and we've just upped our goal to be able to continue because there's so much need down there. it's just it's absolutely devastating. >> and how do you how do you compare this to other disasters? you guys have jumped

in to help in the past. i mean, i'm just wondering, you see these images? i'm just wondering how big you think the need will be. i mean, can you help everyone that would be reaching out with this need for at least some temporary help in housing? >> right? i mean, i think, you know, the the the full picture is still emerging. the fires are still going and they're still surveying to understand what the damage was. i mean, i think we all know that thousands and thousands of homes were were lost. you know, right now our priority is stabilizing all of these people who've been evacuated and lost their homes. and so, you know, getting them into a short term, uh, emergency housing where they can, you know, have some respite a little bit and figure out what their next steps is, is really, really important. i mean, we're seeing, you know, particularly what's what we're seeing is families with pets. and so they're having a really difficult time finding, you know, places to stay. and that's where airbnbs can really be great because, you know, so many of them allow

pets and are pet friendly. so, you know, really being able to serve the individual needs of each family has been critical in this response. >> i can imagine just the stories that your organization is hearing from victims, but also, you know, part of the structure and design of airbnb, right, is that you work with what millions of of hosts who open their homes and offer their homes. what are you hearing from the hosts and the and the willingness to take part in, to offer help in this time of crisis? >> well it's amazing. i mean, you know, these terrible, tragic events really bring out the best in people. and, you know, the community really steps up. i mean, the whole idea for

you so much for being with us. it almost feels like you were part of these hostage ceasefire negotiations. you were in doha while this deal was being hammered out. so what are your feelings this morning upon learning that at least there's some kind of pause or delay in the process? >> yeah. thanks for having me. 468 days since this all started. longer than the u.s. hostages in iran many, many years ago. uh, it's just another chapter of the psychological warfare that has been inflicted on the families from hamas, for sure. sometimes also by the israeli government as well. the last couple of hours, we've seen, uh, right wing members of the netanyahu government that have been protesting against this deal, uh, it might be just posturing. you know, last minute negotiations. but, you know, if

there's one thing that you can say about, uh, and predict about the middle east, uh, everything is unpredictable. so it means that we will continue to wait and hope that this deal. indeed. uh, begins, uh, when i was in, uh, qatar, uh, with my wife, uh, meeting the negotiators, it was important for us to put our face on those names that are on that excel sheet and just look us in the eye and understand the pain that we are in, and advocating that the deal that is being put together should go all the way. meaning that there should be a, uh, full understanding how you move from phase one to phase two. at the moment in the list that at least was published, uh, on social media, there are

only two u.s. citizens that are coming out, which means that there will continue to be five u.s. citizens being held hostage, including my son. and that should be unacceptable also for the united states, that that should linger on for much longer. >> as you say, each name on that excel spreadsheet is a person, and with each person comes a family. and so much love. and you sitting there with so much love as a reminder of that. so to be in doha and to see representatives of two u.s. administrations, the outgoing biden administration and the incoming trump administration working toward the same end, what was that like for you, ruby? >> well, we also met, of course, the qatar officials from the prime minister office, from the national security office and minister of state, uh, you know, i think we need to commend uh, mr. brett mcgurk, uh, nsc

coordinator in the middle east, as well as mr. steve witkoff, president trump's special envoy to the middle east. uh, once mr. witkoff was nominated, uh, he immediately, uh, was in sync with mr. mcgurk, and they worked together. and i think the trump effect, as it is called, was actual because for months there was no progress. and this created a dynamic that we saw, uh, become actual, uh, i could say when i was in qatar and uh, before i even mr. witkoff came, i actually reached out to him and suggested that he, uh, come to doha because the need for the negotiators to see the commitment of the u.s. government to not only come from the biden incumbent administration, but actually from the incoming administration as well. and the fact that mr. witkoff was there and said in his voice on behalf

of president elect that indeed, uh, the guarantees that are being provided will be, uh, valid by the trump administration, i think, made a significant impact. >> so, ruby, your son, a huge celtics fan, which i find to be awesome being from boston. so just, you know, tell us a little bit about him. >> yeah. fun loving kid. he is the middle child. uh, so he has the elder and younger sibling. so he is the connector in the family. um, loves to dance and sing and climb on walls. uh, he has a loving girlfriend, and, uh, he always had a knack of, uh, uh, getting into fights with me. his old dad, you know, was always about dad. why are you wasting energy? uh, i'm going to get anything i want from mom anyway, so. spoken like a true middle child. you know, he's. he was mom's kid.

and, uh, you know, the age of 19 is the age that most people say you do not accomplish much, but, uh, he was in the boy scouts for many, many years. so he had a lot of circles of people that knew him and that he supported and counseled. uh, but we, as you might know, you know, we got intelligence saying that he most likely will not come back. uh, there's no physical evidence. there's nothing from hamas that gave us any type of statement about his status. it's unfortunate that the international red cross or anybody was not able, until today to go and visit the hostages and understand their medical condition. so we have some hope. it's a small, you know, percentage. and maybe things came out different, but we we cling to that hope and hope that maybe, uh, we might have a miracle waiting for us. and we are coming in to the

inauguration, uh, next week, we were invited by president trump's inauguration team, and i do have that, you know, beautiful picture vision that, you know, somehow, you know, uh, president would be able to say, uh, mr. khan, i'm glad to inform you your son is on his way back home. >> oh, ruby chan, we certainly hope, along with you that there is a miracle. and we hope that whatever pause, they will get past that as soon as possible. ruby chan, thank you so much for being with us. we'll be right back. >> the lead with jake tapper today at 4:00 on cnn. >> hungryroot is here. >> and i needed it because my fridge is super empty. it's so easy to just whip together a quick, healthy meal. >> head to hungryroot. com for healthy groceries and simple recipes, plus get free veggies for life. >> what if better was easier than you ever thought possible?

>> it's such an incredible blessing to to see that. but i want to make sure that we don't get distracted from the real thing, which is the meaning of the book and what he's reading and learning. and, you know, something that we should all learn. and that's that. there's so much more meaning to, to football than touchdowns and super bowls. and that's learning to sacrifice and love your neighbor. >> this is what a.j. brown said about the book and what it means to him just after the game. >> it's something like how i refresh every, every drive, you know, regardless of if i score a touchdown or drop a pass, i always go back to that book every drive and just refocus and nothing matters. nothing happened. and just relive back in. >> so refocus. how what is your message to an nfl wide receiver? >> well, to know that that there's so much more to you than football. and if you want to be if you want to win a super bowl, like why do you want to win? what is it that you really want? and don't you

want to feel fully alive? isn't that what you really want to live a meaningful, fulfilling life with amazing experiences and deep, enriching relationships where you're learning and growing? isn't that what you really want? and if that's what you want, let's develop your whole self, your whole heart, and then, you know, super bowls and touchdowns and whatever else may or may not come. it's out of your control at this point. >> who do you think has done more? for whom? you for a.j. brown or a.j. brown for you? >> well, i hope you know eagles fans win and america wins. because this is not about either of us. you know, aj brown has a big heart and he really wants to help the people in philadelphia inner city. and so do i. and so i'm both i'm really excited about that. >> and look you've got a great story for people who don't know your minor league baseball player. you played a year of college football as well, and you really worked hard to develop the thinking behind this book of yours. and now aj brown, i understand, is trying to share it with all his teammates, calling it something of a miracle. how does that how does that make

you feel personally? >> well, i'm just so grateful to god that that he's using me. >> you know, just, you know, a nobody to to share his his love and his message with the world. >> and as an athlete yourself, former athlete, would you advise reading on the sidelines during a game? how do you think most coaches would view that? >> yeah, i mean, i think i would definitely advise to do whatever it takes to be fully engaged in the moment. um, you know, when you're playing, i was talking to a major league all star this spring and talking about how important it is to be fully engaged, even more than confidence. and so i totally agree. >> um, well, jim murphy, congratulations to you. i know aj brown and others. now countless thousands of people are reading your book and learning from it. thank you so much for being with us and wishing you the best going forward. >> thanks so much for having me. >> good birds. >> you know, and you know, we all like to read sometimes we do like to read. >> i also think that, you know, inner excellence is i think maybe what i think of you every

time. >> yes. >> well, i was going to ask him, is it just work for athletes or do you have anything that might work with, say, a news anchor? >> i don't know, someone who really needs some assistance. >> i know someone who needs some help. >> thank you all so much for joining us today. this is cnn news central. cnn newsroom. up next. >> trump's cabinet picks, the candidates you've heard about for months. go before the senate. who will get the votes? >> i think we have great people. >> follow the trump confirmation hearings. follow the facts, follow cnn. >> for the times when cooking just isn't in the cards. try brand new ready made meals from hellofresh. no prepping, no cooking. just heat up and dig in to delicious new from hellofresh look out, cause here i come. >> have you always had trouble with your weight? same. >> discover the power of wegovy with wegovy. >> i lost 35 pounds and some

delaying a cabinet vote on the cease fire and hostage deal. good morning. i'm jim acosta in washington. you are live in the cnn newsroom. but we begin this morning up on capitol hill. cnn's lauren fox is there for day three of president trump's cabinet picks, as they're facing some tough questions from senators. lauren, who's going to be under the microscope the most today? do you think? >> yeah, i am standing outside of the senate finance committee hearing room. this is where we expect to see trump's pick to lead the treasury department. scott bessent this is going to be a really key hearing today. there are a couple reasons why that will be the case. this may be the first opportunity that we have to get a good glimpse into what the trump administration in their second term agenda looks like when it comes to

economic policy. obviously, there's going to be a lot of questions in this room from republicans and democrats alike. i expect on what trump's tariff plans look like. we also have seen that in the past with steve mnuchin, the previous treasury secretary, that that person played a critical role in making sure that donald trump was able to move forward with his tax cuts plan back in 2017. you can expect that will likely play a major role there, and i expect that a lot of republican senators are going to be making clear in this room what their priorities are when it comes to that legislation. obviously, republicans in the house and senate have been very divided on what the strategy should be moving forward. so it will be really interesting to see whether or not besson echoes the president's view that perhaps this should be a one big, beautiful bill versus a two step plan. like a lot of senators have hoped for. there's also going to be a lot of questions about the debt ceiling and the trump administration's plan moving forward on that. that was

another critical area that mnuchin played a key role in. so a lot of opportunities to get a glimpse into what trump's economic policies are going to look like in his second term, jim. >> yeah. and lauren, the house speaker, mike johnson, has apparently removed a republican congressman from his post as house intelligence committee chair. that's that's a big move. what can you tell us? >> yeah, what we heard last night from speaker johnson was that this is what he wanted to do to sort of clear the deck, get new leadership in for this administration. but obviously, there are a lot of questions, including from the top democrat on the committee, about why turner was asked to step aside and who that new replacement is going to be. jim himes, who's the top democrat on the intelligence committee, argued he's always liked working with turner, in part because he views him as unwilling to take a knee to whatever administration is power in power, and it's important to keep in mind that the intelligence committee has traditionally been a place

where republicans and democrats often rise above the politics of the day in order to make sure that the country is safe. >> yeah. >> congressman mike turner has a lot of friends up on capitol hill. he's viewed as having a lot of credibility in that position as the chair of the intelligence committee. lauren fox, thank you very much. also breaking this morning new concerns about a deal between israel and hamas for a ceasefire in gaza and to free the hostages. israel says it has delayed a cabinet vote on the deal, accusing hamas of reneging on parts of the agreement by, quote, attempting to extort last minute concessions. hamas, meanwhile, says it remains committed to the terms of the truce announced yesterday. it is broken down into three phases. we're told phase one is expected to start on sunday. it calls for a ceasefire, a swap of hostages for palestinian prisoners over 42 days. the second and third phases are still being hammered out and would depend largely on the success of phase one. seven americans are believed to be among those still being held in gaza. sources tell cnn that two

are expected to be included in that first release. let's break down all of this. joining me now is danny danon. he is israel's ambassador to the united nations. he's also a former israeli deputy defense minister. mr. ambassador, thank you so much for joining us at this critical hour. where do things stand and is this deal in jeopardy? >> jim, we want to finalize the agreement and we want to see our boys and girls coming back home, you know, for 15 months. we're talking about babies. babies, women, soldiers who are being held by hamas. so we hope to see them home as soon as possible. unfortunately, we are dealing with a terrorist organization and they are trying to blackmail at the last minute things that were not agreed upon. we have a team on the ground in doha in qatar, finalizing those details, and i hope that we will be able to to move forward, to bring the agreement to a discussion and a vote in the israeli cabinet, and to implement it as soon as

possible. >> so is it possible at this point that the deal could fall apart? >> well, we hope not. you know, we invested a lot and we we thank the negotiators, both president trump and president biden. they put a lot of effort into it. qatar and egypt. and we are willing to sacrifice a lot. we are releasing terrorists who were convicted in murdering hundreds of innocent israelis. but we do that because we value life. we want to see the hostages back home. so we are still pushing and we hope to see progress very soon. >> and mr. ambassador, assuming it goes forward, phase one is set to begin, we're told on sunday. is that still possible or might this timeline be pushed off a bit because of this, this last minute, i guess, round of negotiations that are going on well, once we finalize all the details, it can happen very fast. >> you know, i would say 48 hours after we get the green light from the team on the

ground, we will need to have a cabinet meeting. then we will allow time for people to appeal to the supreme court to. decide this issue. but the supreme court will will meet immediately, and i think it will not delay the implementation of this agreement. you know, the people of israel are praying to see those hostages back home. we just we can just imagine the mental situation, their physical situation. after 15 months in the tunnels of hamas, we heard the the testimonials about the way they are being treated there, the tortures, starvation and other horrible testimonials. >> and mr. ambassador, president biden says the second phase of the agreement would bring a, quote, permanent end to the war. is that correct? as you understand it, do you share that optimism? >> so the way the agreement is being drafted, that you have the first stage and during the first stage, we continue negotiations. so i cannot tell you what will be the outcome of the second part of the

negotiations. but i believe after day 16, we meet again. our teams will fly again to to continue the negotiations for the future stages. >> and mr. ambassador, as you know, some israelis passionately opposed the deal and marched on prime minister netanyahu's office in jerusalem. they brought a flag draped coffin, saying the release of palestinian prisoners. as part of this release will cost the lives of more israelis in the future. what is your response to that? >> well, it is it is a very hard decision. you know, we paid a heavy price or casualties. people who fought to push back hamas and and some people, they think it's a mistake, it's legitimate. but we are a democracy. at the end of the day, the cabinet, the government will sit down. we will vote upon it. i believe there will be a majority in the government for any proposal that the prime minister will put on the table. >> and, mr. ambassador, this deal is essentially what president biden proposed back in the spring. in recent days,

biden's middle east negotiator was joined by an envoy for president elect donald trump. these two administrations, one current one waiting in the wings, worked together to apply pressure. we understand is that your understanding of this as well? is this an agreement that both administrations will be able to point to as something that was achieved? >> well, first of all, you're absolutely right. you know, the framework was discussed back in may and we said yes, hamas said no. we applied more pressure. that's why when people criticized me at the un, why you are still fighting in gaza, i explained to them, we are there because we have hostages there. so the pressure helped in both hamas to the table and today we have a similar agreement. and i think what we saw is that both administrations work together, and that's something which is rare in politics, that you see outgoing administration and incoming administration put everything aside and work on an important issue. the people of israel value to see the support

coming from both. administrations. >> all right. ambassador danny danon, thank you very much for your time. we hope the deal results in those hostages coming home will be thinking about that and praying about that in the coming days. thank you so much, sir. appreciate your time. coming up, another controversial trump nominee, rfk jr., is also expected to face lawmakers up on capitol hill. i'll speak to the senator who will be one of those lawmakers questioning him. senator tim kaine joins me next. in. >> super man, the christopher reeve story, february 2nd on cnn. >> maya knows how quality care can bring out a smile, but it's been a few dog years since she was able to enjoy a smile of her own. good thing aspen dental offers affordable, complete care all in one place, and new patients without insurance get $29 exams and x rays, plus 20% off treatment plans for everyone. loving our patients unconditionally. it's one more way. aspen dental is

elect donald trump's cabinet picks. joining me now, democratic senator tim kaine of virginia, who sits on the armed services foreign relations committees, as well as the health, education, labor and pensions committee, all of which are very key in in these confirmation hearings unfolding this week. senator, good morning. thanks for being with us. we appreciate it. you bet. jim, you made some headlines this week for your contentious exchange with defense secretary pete hegseth during his confirmation hearing. i want to play some of that talk to you about it. >> you have admitted that you had sex while you were married to wife two, after you just had fathered a child by wife three. you've admitted that now, if it had been a sexual assault, that would be disqualifying to be secretary of defense, wouldn't it? >> it was a false claim then, and a false claim now. >> many of your work colleagues have said that you show up for work under the influence of alcohol or drunk. i know you've denied that, but you would agree with me, right? that if that was the case, that would be disqualifying for somebody to be secretary of defense. >> senator, those are all anonymous false claims. and the totality, they're not they're

not anonymous. the letters on the record here, they're not anonymous on the record. we've seen records with names attached to them. >> senator, has anything changed to ease any of your concerns about pete hegseth nomination? >> i have deep concerns about the character of the individual, not about his military service, which i think was strong, but his character admitted serial infidelity, significant allegations of creation of toxic workplace culture, especially for women staffers, fiscal mismanagement of organizations, and allegations of a sexual assault that, at a minimum, was infidelity, but also led to a sexual assault allegation. i walked into the hearing with questions. i walked out of the hearing with more questions. >> and my understanding is, is that pete hegseth did not meet with very many of the democrats on the committee. you only got one round of questions when typically there are multiple rounds of questions. it sounds like you have more questions.

>> this was a very serious alteration from normal practice. jim, i've been on the armed services committee for now more than 12 years. multiple secretaries of defense have been nominated by presidents of both parties. they always meet with committee members. pete hegseth refused to meet with any democrat other than the the chairman. jack reed would schedule meetings, look for one for me, then postponed it until after the hearing and then postponed it again. i don't know whether i'm ever going to get a meeting. and so when you don't have the opportunity to meet with somebody in the office and share your concerns, and then you just get one seven minute round, you got to go right to it. but it's very, very difficult to to get the full information you need about a position that is so important. as secretary of defense. >> and, senator, you sit on the health, education, labor and pensions or health committee, which will hold robert f. kennedy jr.'s confirmation hearing to run the department of health and human services. are you going to be meeting with him? are you going to get stiffed on that meeting, too?

>> no, i mean, pete hegseth is a unique case. rfk jr. is coming to my office this afternoon to talk before the hearing, which will likely be next week. senator rubio, the nominee for secretary of state, came to my office to talk before we had the hearing yesterday. i'm going to be meeting with the secretary of labor nominee later today. these individuals are meeting with the democratic members of the committees that they'll be before, with the exception of pete hegseth. >> and i want to get your reaction to trump attorney general pick pam bondi confirmation hearing yesterday, she clashed with some of your colleagues over issues, including her answers about trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election, possible pardons for january 6th, rioters. did any of her answers concern you? will she have your support for attorney general? >> yeah, jim, that one i was i was so steeped in confirmation hearings for senator rubio yesterday that i didn't have a chance to really follow live the judiciary committee hearing on pam bondi. so i need to go back and watch that and talk to

my colleagues. i did see the reports about her being very equivocal, about acknowledging that joe biden legitimately was elected president in 2020. that would raise a major red flag with me. if she's buying into bogus conspiracy theories about that election. >> she did say at one point that there will not be an enemies list at the department of justice, but are you concerned that there will be an enemies list over at the white house? >> well, it sounds like they're preparing one at the pentagon because pete hegseth has weighed in in support of the notion of these military purge boards, as they're calling them. i don't have any doubt that the president and his team have lists of folks that they like, and lists of folks they want to kick out. i was glad to hear that, that pam bondi said that would not be the case at the department of justice. but it's odd that that even has to be a topic of discussion. the fact that it is tells you that this is a most unusual incoming administration, and the

housecleaning may not be just happening at the pentagon. >> we're hearing that mike turner, the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee, is getting the boot. i know you're over in the senate, but does that concern you? >> it makes me wonder why, you know, i'm not on the intelligence committee, but my virginia colleague, senator warner, is. and i think he's had a pretty good relationship with the intel leaders, both democratic and republican. on the house side, i was i was very puzzled to hear that representative turner has been moved aside. i don't really have an understanding of it. i'm sure senator warner is going to give me his take on it when i see him later today. >> and, senator, i do want to ask you about the cease fire agreement reached between israel. we are told between israel and hamas. are you concerned about this delayed vote in israel's cabinet? we were just talking to the ambassador about this. it doesn't sound like they're at the goal line yet. it sounds like there there are still some negotiating going on. >> well, jim, first, when we

heard the news yesterday, we were in the middle of the hearing with senator rubio. the reaction in the room, all parties, everybody in the room was celebratory. we're not there yet, but we need to get the hostages released. it's been so painful to see what's happened to them and to their families, and it's been painful to see the suffering of innocent palestinians who have nothing to do with hamas, who've suffered in the last 15 months. we've got to get to that cease fire and then look for a way to make it permanent with humanitarian aid and security for israel, a future for palestinians. but we're not quite there yet. and it's been tantalizingly close. i do think we're close. you do see the there were some protests from the right side in israel last night, not liking the release of prisoners, but as the ambassador said, israel is willing to make some difficult concessions in that regard to get hostages home. and that and those are the kinds of things that have to happen in a tough negotiation. so i'm choosing to believe that we're on the threshold, and then if we can

get it, then we really have to put our shoulders to the wheel to turn it from a temporary thing into a permanent thing. >> and, senator, forgive me, i'm covering a lot of ground. but president biden did address the nation last night from the oval office. he talked about his fear that an oligarchy is taking over this country, that there is a tech industrial complex that has too much influence in this country. he offered some pretty stark warnings for the nation. as donald trump is about to return to the white house. what did you make of that? >> you know the comments really echoed in my mind. it reminded me of something, and it reminded me of what president eisenhower said as he was leaving office. this general who led us to victory in world war two, warned america that a military industrial complex could have too much impact on american politics and push us into needless military expenditures and even hostilities, that we shouldn't be in. those were very

prescient words then, and i don't know if president biden was sort of consciously echoing those or not. i know he is sincerely worried about it. and i think a lot of americans are. >> do you think there's an oligarchy that's taking over in this country? >> you know that i am worried about the the power of these of the tech bros who, you know, have a lot of time on their hands because they have so many billions and they want to get involved in politics, and they usually want to get involved in politics to feather their own nest. they usually want to get involved in politics to help craft a tax bill that will give even more money to them and their friends. so stay tuned to see what the trump administration's tax proposal is coming up in the next two months. and i think you're going to see a tax proposal that will benefit people like elon musk, to the detriment of everyday working folks. >> all right. senator tim kaine of virginia, thank you very much for your time. >> you bet. >> take care. all right. still to come as fires are raging in california, many people are still unable to check on their homes. we speak to an l.a. city

council member about when residents can get back home. that's next in the situation room with wolf blitzer tonight at six on cnn car. >> this isn't the way home. >> that's right. james. it isn't. >> car. where are we going? we're here. >> right? >> the future isn't scary. not investing in it is. >> were you in on this? >> nothing gets by you, james. >> nasdaq 100 innovators one etf. before investing, carefully read and consider fund investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses and more in prospectus at invesco. com. >> the fact that saint jude takes care of all of this. this is what's keeping my baby girl alive. >> it's everything for us. we wouldn't know what to do if we couldn't afford for our little girl to survive. >> and saint jude gives us that. >> at humana, we believe your

at that. entire neighborhoods have been wiped out. homes, schools, places of worship, all gone. the eaton and palisades fires are now the two most destructive wildfires in southern california history. and for so many, the loss is unbearable i'm just heartbroken. >> this was my grandchildren's home. everybody's home, basically. big family. a lot of memories. they keep asking, when are they going to come home? and i just have to keep it positive and tell them that it's gone. >> i want to bring in l.a. city councilman tracy park, whose district includes the pacific palisades. first off, our hearts go out to your community council member. we really appreciate your time. i'm so sorry, but maybe you can give us an update on how things are going and how soon people will be able to return to their homes. i mean, that's that's what everybody's wondering right now. >> yes, yes. so we have about 5000

firefighters deployed who are continuing to actively fight this blaze. they have continued to make progress over the last several days as the weather has cooperated. they have had many air assets dropping water and fire retardant, trying to make the area safe. we also have, especially in the palisades area, hundreds of utility workers on the ground clearing debris and addressing immediate safety issues. every pipe is broken. all the gas lines and water lines, all of the power lines were down from the fire. and so they have been on the ground going house to house, making sure those things are off and clearing the area so that we can begin the process of getting folks back in to at least see what, if anything, may be left of their home in the brentwood area because of

the number of first responder vehicles coming in and out, utilities being turned off just as a preventative measure as the firefighters continue to work in the area, we have not allowed folks to return home yet, but i am pushing our partners to ensure that this happens as soon as possible. i understand the frustration and the need of people to go home. >> yeah. and councilmember, last month at a fire commission meeting, i understand you warned that resources were being strained beyond the risk or beyond the brink. i should say, despite the fire, the fire risk in the area. you said this. we can show this to our viewers time and time again. elected leaders in l.a. have failed to make meaningful investments in our public safety. and as a result, angelenos are suffering the consequences. i suppose you still stand by that. and what do you make of whether the resources might have made a difference if if we had had

more of them as these fires were spreading? >> well, our fire department has been chronically understaffed and under-resourced for decades. staffing in the fire department was decimated following the financial recession in 2008, and it has never fully recovered. in the issues that i was speaking about at fire commission 21 days before this devastating event occurred in my council district that displaced and ruined the lives of thousands of my friends and constituents. we talked about the fact that we have dozens of rigs sitting in a mechanic's yard with no one to fix them. we talked about the fact that many of our stations are in disrepair, and that just on an average day here in the city of los angeles, we don't

have adequate resources to meet our demand. we have about the same number of firefighters and fire stations in 2025 that we had in 1960, but our population has grown substantially, and the calls for service have quadrupled, but we have not added 911 operators or firefighters and paramedics to address that load. on any given day in los angeles, there are stations with no resources. >> and councilmember, i mean, who's to blame for that? >> again, this is decades of chronic underinvestment. this is not any one administration. it is not any one budget year. it is the fact of we have many, many competing priorities, including an ongoing homelessness crisis, that we are throwing $1 billion a year at and making virtually no progress. we're starting to see the tide turn on that, but we have not

focused on the core municipal services, public safety, high functioning infrastructure. that's necessary and do we have a clear answer as to where folks are going to go? >> i mean, that's something that we've been hearing is that people just don't know what to do, where they're going to live. >> that's right. and i'm hearing that from dozens of my constituents who not only don't know where they're going to live, but they have kids that need to go back to school. it's uncertain when they're going to be able to get home and begin the process of rebuilding, if that's what they choose to do. but i want to let folks know that fema and red cross have set up a disaster recovery center at the ucla research park. it used to be the westwood pavilion. all resources are set up there from the department of insurance, where you can begin filing claims to fema to register for benefits. the dmv to get your documents replaced, our city

department of planning, building and safety, bureau of engineering. they are all on hand for one on one concierge service so folks can get their questions answered. >> all right. thank you very much for that information. we'll make sure to pass that along as much as we can. councilwoman tracy park, thanks very much for your time. all the best. best of luck in these coming days. we appreciate it. stay safe. all right. still still to come. as president elect donald trump prepares to take office next week, he is now suggesting he will blacklist people from working his administration who have ties to his prominent critics. that's next follow the trump confirmation hearings. >> follow the facts. follow cnn. >> nice to meet you. my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years, and i'm from flowery branch, georgia. when i have customers come in, i recommend prevention number one because it's safe and effective, does not require a prescription. and i've been

our attorney general, ashley moody, to serve as our next u.s. senator. >> all right. right now, you just saw it there. florida governor ron desantis announcing the appointment to replace marco rubio in his seat in the united states senate. let's discuss with cnn political commentator jamal simmons and republican strategist doug heye. doug, let me start with you first. what do you think? >> you know, we've heard so many names bandied about, starting with laura trump. >> some months ago, there was speculation she would run in north carolina as well. it's a young she's 49 years old, a woman who's been elected repeatedly statewide. so, you know, we're going to see releases from the rnc and the senate republican conference saying why she's great. the dnc and the democrats in the senate are going to say why she's terrible. but the reality is she will be sworn in as a senator very soon. she's been elected by a pretty comfortable margin statewide in florida before she could be around for a long time. >> yeah. and, jamal, i do want to ask you about something that

donald trump put up on truth social, the president elect suggesting he will blacklist anyone who has worked with or been supported by people who have criticized him. and you see the list of names there, people like john bolton, mike pence, nikki haley, james mattis, mark esper. what do you make of all that? i mean, pam bondi has said that there will not be an enemies list over at the justice department, but we're not hearing the same thing from donald trump about the white house. >> i am shocked, shocked? i tell you. listen, i think every president wants to make sure the people who work for him or her are soon to be her. hopefully, uh, every president wants to make sure that the staff comes to work for them is going to be some people who, you know, align with their views and their values and people who support them. we all go through being vetted when we go to work in the white house, and they ask you questions about what you might have said, and they ask me questions about critical things i said about joe biden when i went to the biden white house. but the question here is, are they hiring people who are going to exercise their best judgment on behalf of the american people

and are going to try to fix the institutions that the american people want them to fix, to make their lives better? or are they just hiring people who are going to be stooges and flunkies for donald trump and do whatever it is he wants to do, and not tell the emperor when he's not wearing clothes? they. that's the part that concerns me. it's not all the kind of back and forth about the, you know, what happens inside of an administration. the question is, what are they going to do for the american people that comports with why it is they elected him and sent him there. >> and doug and jamal, i do want to play some of president biden's final address to the american people. last night, he warned that there's an oligarchy that is taking shape in this country. let's listen. today, an oligarchy is taking shape in america of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy. >> i'm equally concerned about the potential rise of a tech industrial complex that could pose real dangers for our country, as well. americans are being buried under an avalanche

of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power. >> doug, what do you think? i asked tim kaine about this earlier on in the program. he said it. it echoes what dwight eisenhower said about a military industrial complex when he was leaving the white house. >> in politics, you can say anything blank industrial complex, and you've identified an enemy and you can sort of build from from there. there are real concerns about what's happening in social media. in legacy media, there's a lot of that is is falling apart. we see so many departures at the washington post and people moving into sort of new media spaces, right, to be concerns about what's happening with tiktok and at x or twitter or whatever you call it. but also, i think joe biden's whistling in the wind. a lot of people just didn't watch him or listen to him, i sure didn't. >> jamal, what do you think? >> i think this is a speech that's going to stand for the ages. this is one of the fundamental questions of our time. how is it that we're going to deal with the extraordinary amount of wealth that is disproportionately going to just the very few people, the the political power they're able to wield to do that? a president who can't be

checked illegally at all by any of the things he's done, he's he's basically immune, as the supreme court says. so what you see is all this power sort of aggregating at the top of the scale with the elites, and you see people sort of saying, no, we want more. we want a country that's going to respond to us and do the things that we want. donald trump promised to be one of those presidents. but if you look at how they're stacking up, you look at how they're putting this all together. that doesn't seem to be the case. and i think they're setting themselves up to really have their clock cleaned in the next election in the in the midterms, if the democrats can get their act together and actually make a case about how they want to fix institutions in order to make them work for the american people, not just defend those institutions. >> all right, guys, hold those thoughts. i want to take a quick break. we'll talk about more of this after a quick break. be right back. >> nobody's born with grit. >> rose is really struggling. >> it's something you build over time. >> it's 21 missed cuts in a

lead hud. the epa, interior and treasury. and doug, at first it seemed like some of these more controversial choices like pete hegseth, rfk jr., kash patel might not get confirmed. now it appears they may all go through. do you think any of these picks go down at this point? >> well, it's possible that 1 or 2. but just that and, you know, because when things get involved with donald trump, we view them in a very different lens. quite often. the reality is a democratic president or a republican president with a senate of his own party gets almost all of his nominees through, if not all of them. and if they go to a floor vote, they do not lose. and so i think we have to start with that. and as we've watched these confirmation hearings, like, you know, yesterday and so forth, okay, you have these bombshell moments that get attention. but this is all about math. can you get four republicans to vote no on any of these? and if you can't, they're confirmed. >> yeah. i mean, jamal, i'm trying to tick off the names in my head where you might get those four. i mean, susan collins, lisa murkowski, maybe senator cassidy of louisiana, but trump in the past, maybe mitch mcconnell. but can you get all four of them on on any

one of these picks? what do you think? >> i doubt you're going to get all four of them on any one of these picks. you know, the reality is, as doug was just saying, the president is going to get most of what he wants. i think most of the damage that was done to these nominees happened before they actually got to the committee hearings. now we'll see what happens with people like tulsi gabbard and kash patel. i think those are ones where there's a lot of people in america, in washington who are very concerned about what it looks like to have an fbi that's under the thumb of donald trump for him to just sort of flick his finger and decide to go after people when they feel like it. i think a lot of people, republicans and democrats alike, ought to be concerned. i mean, think about what happened to mike pence. you know, on january 6th, donald trump didn't care. he had been loyal, you know, for three years and 11.5 months. he wasn't loyal on the day that he wanted him to be. so he went after him. so i think there are a lot of people who are concerned about that. but most of these other folks, i think they're probably going to get there. and the american people may find that they elected somebody who's going to lower their prices and deal with their anxiety about all the

changes happening in america, and instead they've got somebody who just wants to get money for his friends. >> yeah. and going back to that truth social post that we were showing earlier, i mean, you mentioned mike pence. i mean, anybody who's worked for mike pence, apparently they're on this list too. doug. i mean, are we going to have an administration that is just chock full of of ultra loyalists? how do you run a government that way? don't you need to have expertise? don't you need to have the career civil servants who've been there, done that know what they're talking about? >> yeah. so i'm a catholic, which means i believe in converts and in politics. politics is usually about addition, not subtraction. so, sure, if you were somebody who was working on the january 6th committee for liz cheney, you're probably not really high in line to get a job in the administration. that sort of makes sense. but to just say with a broad swath, i don't want any of these people win some converts, and you can get real pros into some of these areas where you need them. >> and i did want to ask you about the story in the washington post this morning, doug, and what we and jamal as well, what we may be seeing next week. the story is a

deportation at light speed. how trump's crackdown could unfold. doug, it doesn't sound to me like the american people have really come to grips with what we may see next week. you have trump advisers talking about this being shock and awe next week. >> well, two things. one, donald trump promises a lot of shock and awe. and that's very much a hollywood production. and then sometimes the details aren't exactly what they were promised to be. but also immigration is on donald trump's favor. so what we see, what the reaction is depends on what we see. if donald trump is able to outline, we got rid of these people who were drug dealers and kingpins and rapists and all these other things, people who are, you know, actual criminals. the public's going to applaud him on that. if all of a sudden we see administrations, republican and democrat, have deported criminal. sure. but what donald's in the past but what we could see donald trump do is what he does with executive orders in the past. you know, he would sign it regardless of what it said. he would hold it up and say, look what i just did. and if he says these drug kingpins are gone, the

public will support him. >> jamal, what do you think if we see if we start to see families go after mixed status families, if you see families with u.s. citizens, if we're talking about light speed deportation, that's how the washington post is describing it. >> americans have been unsettled by economic challenges that have faced them for decades. they've been unsettled by the kind of cultural changes they're still trying to sort of wrestle with and get their arms around. but you know what the american people are not they're not cruel. and i think we saw that the last time when we had those things about kids who were being separated from families and people who were like living with mylar blankets and what looked like cages. the american people aren't cruel. and if they have images or a sense that what's happening is real, live human beings are being treated in a cruel and inhumane way. they're being american. citizens are being deported to other countries because their parents are here without legal papers. i think if they see that, i don't know how how that will survive over the course of time. >> all right. we'll be

watching. >> i agree with jamal. the reaction will depend on what we actually see. >> yeah, absolutely. all right guys thank you so much. we appreciate it. we have more news coming up after the break. but first this week's chasing life. >> i'm doctor sanjay gupta, host of cnn's chasing life podcast. >> many americans consume way too much sugar. you certainly know that by now. most of that sugar doesn't come from what we eat. it's in what we drink sodas, sports drinks, energy drinks, fruit flavored beverages. all of those things contain a lot of sugar. now, here's why this is important. besides the additional calories, there's been recent research suggesting that even one serving of sugary drinks a day could raise your risk of heart disease. it's no surprise that the american heart association recommends water as the best thing to drink throughout the day. in fact, try carrying a water bottle with you all the time to make sure you always have easy access and making sure to drink before you even feel thirsty. you want to make it more

remembered as just a basketball player. >> kobe premieres january 25th on cnn. >> thank you all for joining me this morning. i want to take a moment to talk about something president biden said during his farewell address. he warned the free press is crumbling in this country. i would add, that's only if we the people let that happen. journalists exist to seek the truth, to tell people's stories, to lift up voices that may not be heard otherwise, to shine a light on injustice and to hold the powerful accountable. we are not the enemy of the people. we are the defenders of the people. walter cronkite once said, freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy. i want to take a moment to show you something. a woman sent me this sign eight years ago. she carried it here at a march in washington. she wrote on the back of the sign to me and the press. here in dc, you have our support to nora, wherever you are, right back at you reporting from washington, i'm jim acosta. the next hour of

newsroom starts right now at. >> good morning. you are live in the cnn newsroom. i'm pamela brown in washington, and we begin this hour with breaking news. at any moment, we're expecting to hear from secretary of state antony blinken. with only a few full days left in the biden administration, he will face growing concerns over a signature foreign policy accomplishment. the new deal between israel and hamas for a cease in gaza. also this morning, officials in los angeles are giving an update as firefighters are still contending with extreme hazards and the potential for fire growth, though they are making some progress. so we'll get an update from them. but back to our top story. at any moment, we are expecting to hear from secretary of state antony blinken where he will talk about this new deal between israel and hamas for a ceasefire in gaza. it would begin freeing the hostages, who have been held for more than 460 days. but this morning, israel says it has delayed a cabinet vote

on the deal, accusing hamas of reneging on parts of the agreement by, quote, attempting to extort last minute concessions. and this morning, new opposition within israel, a key party in the netanyahu government coalition, is now threatening to quit if israel doesn't return to war after a temporary ceasefire. hamas, it's worth noting, says it remains committed to the terms of the truce announced yesterday. so we're going to take you to secretary blinken when he begins speaking. we have a lot to cover this morning. joining us to break it all down, cnn's alex marquardt here in washington and cnn chief global affairs correspondent matthew chance in london. alex, bottom line, it is the deal in jeopardy or is this just a minor hiccup along the way? >> that is going to be the first question. i would guess that goes to secretary blinken when he steps up to that podium. right now, from what we're hearing from top white house officials, is that the deal is still very much on track. and what they are arguing is that this is an. implementation issue. and what

i believe that means is it really speaks to all the moving parts of this. this is a hugely complex deal. you have the hostages who are supposed to come out starting on sunday. i was told by a u.s. official today that they believe it will be three female hostages in this first group, and then you've got palestinian prisoners who are going to get released, questions about where do they go, questions about how and where the aid starts to flow into into the gaza strip. so there are all kinds of questions that are still being worked out. so for the time being, it's still looks like a hiccup. obviously, this is not going as smoothly as the biden and incoming trump administrations would have liked it to. of course, we saw the crowing yesterday, the claiming of victory from both donald trump, from president biden, from the qataris there. they were all saying yesterday that this was a done deal. clearly, it is not yet a done deal. whether things are actually in jeopardy, to what extent prime minister netanyahu is, is, you know, playing to the far right members of his cabinet or his base in israel.

i think those are questions. but what is very clear at this point, putting aside the question of credit and who deserves the most credit, is that this was very much a joint collaboration, historically tight coordination, i would say, between an outgoing and an incoming administration. what we're going to see go into effect, hopefully on sunday is the result of an extraordinary amount of work from the biden administration, a framework that was put in place by president biden at the end of last may. but in the preceding, in the following eight months, they were not able to get it across the line. now, a lot changed. that really upped the pressure on both hamas and israel to agree to this deal. but i don't think anyone can deny the fact that president trump's election really changed a lot. it put a ticking clock on the biden administration, so they wanted to step up things and get it done. but we also heard the emphasis from the incoming trump officials and the incoming president himself that he really wanted to get this done before he took office. so if this goes into effect, as we expect it to on sunday, it will be the last full day of the

biden administration. but it will, of course, then fall to president trump and his officials to oversee it, to implement it. and as we're seeing right now, it is hugely complicated. and that's just phase one. pam, we have not started talking about phase two yet, which is arguably even more difficult. >> yeah, that's a really good point. and as you just laid out, everything is still very delicate and tenuous. right. and a lot of people are on edge right now. i want to bring you in, matthew, because president biden said in his farewell address that this deal would bring an end to the war. israel, as we know, has vowed that it wants total destruction of hamas to end the war. but secretary blinken, we know, said recently that hamas has replenished its ranks with new militants. so is this really the beginning of the end to this war? >> i think it potentially is, yes. but i mean, there are those issues about what happens when hostilities end. what happens to hamas? are they still left in place as the day facto power inside the gaza

strip? and i think that's one of the reasons, perhaps the main reason, that the right wing parties inside israel that provide the coalition of benjamin netanyahu, with its support, are objecting so much to the to the terms of this deal. the second phase of it, everybody in israel wants the hostages out. there is some controversy and division about the right way to do that, and whether the war should come to an end before hamas has been totally annihilated as a political and, and, and a military force. and it's not entirely clear that the second phase of this peace deal would achieve that. and that's why those right wing groups aren't altogether satisfied. there's also, as we're hearing, there's some concern or there's some reports coming out about hamas and other palestinian militant groups sort of putting obstacles in the way of the implementation of this deal as well. we don't know exactly what that's about, but it could be about last minute negotiations as to which

palestinian prisoners are going to be on the list to be released. because, remember, this is a two way street. there's going to be hostages set free, but also there's going to be hundreds of palestinians released from israeli jails. and the names on that list of palestinians includes people who have been convicted of of murder in israel, of killing israelis and inherently, that's incredibly controversial. and there's a lot of objections to that amongst the right wing and amongst ordinary israelis, of course, to people like that being set free. pam. >> right. that's clearly a sticking point. all right. stand by. we are waiting to hear from secretary blinken. but the bottom line is, if the current version of the cease fire moves forward, 33 israeli hostages will be released in this first phase, both living and deceased. now, the first release expected on sunday. if the deal stands, will be three female israeli hostages. so if that is the case, many hostages, such as 20 year old nimrod cohen, who you see right here, will not be part of that initial release. he is a member

of the idf and was kidnaped by hamas on october 7th. his father, yehuda cohen, says that he knows the road ahead is long and will not be easy. yehuda joins us now. you said the cease fire agreement is just the beginning. what do you mean by that? >> well, first of all, we see that we didn't get to the beginning. there's still disputes, mainly in our government, you know, between the one inch netanyahu and the other edge. smotrich. uh, smotrich doesn't want the ceasefire. smotrich wants more war, more bloodshed. and as you said before, hamas is recruiting, so it will never end. and probably that's what smotrich wants. but as for the deal, we are looking for the point zero which will be on sunday, 1215 noon israel time. and for us, well,

let's say nothing changed because we have to keep on fighting. first of all, that this phase one will go through in parallel, counting 16 days. we need to see that details on the second phase are starting to be built, starting to be negotiated. and then of course, the more difficult thing, as you said, getting the second phase, going through, going out, my son nimrod, soldier, young, healthy and will be probably one of the last one in the second phase. so we're looking at at least three months of continuing to fight to make sure our government will be focused on one thing getting the deal through, making sure they won't look left or right, finding excuses to sabotage the deal. we know the government did it in the past. it's

officially been announced by ben-gvir that all his efforts were to make sure the deal won't come. yes, it's a political issue, as he said. so we are there to make sure on the other side that the deal will go through. we are for saving lives. we are for, uh. saying life is the most important thing. we want to end the war. we want to end suffrage. we want to end the killing on both sides. >> this must be such an emotional roller coaster for you to have been without your son for so long now, and all the back and forth over the last 24 hours, and knowing he likely won't be in this first phase. and this is a difficult question, but i have to ask it. how confident are you that nimrod is still alive? >> we know nimrod is still alive. first of all, we know we got in alive. hostages returned in the last deal more than a year ago.

november. >> so? >> so what did they tell you? the hostages that have been released before. what did they tell you about your son? oh, i think we lost him. unfortunately. yehuda, i believe we've lost you. all right. okay, well, we are still waiting to hear from secretary blinken. and as we await for that press conference to happen, i want to go back to to alex here. you know, hearing from the father of his son still held hostage by hamas. and just the agony, it's a reminder of how many families really have a direct stake in this deal. >> someone said the word trauma. and i think as we see scenes of celebration in gaza and celebration all though a bit more muted in tel aviv, because i think there's still so much uncertainty in israel. i think we have to remember what these two people have been through in the past 15 months, and the amount of relief that is going to come as a result of this deal that will hopefully continue into the

following phases. you know, in israel, you have 30 families, 33 families, hopefully, who will get either their loved ones or the remains of their loved ones back home. and we don't know the exact numbers in either of those categories. and we frankly don't know specifically how many people are still alive, how many hostages are still alive in gaza. there's still so much uncertainty, but that will certainly be a relief for those families in israel. and then in gaza, you look at the latest estimates that have now grown to 60, 70,000 people who have been killed and many, many more multiples of that injured. i mean, we're talking about 3% of the entire gazan population that has been killed. i mean, that's as if ten plus million americans were killed. so the trauma that the palestinians and the israelis are going to be feeling as a result of october 7th and the war that has followed, is going to last for

years, if not generations. so that's why there's so much hope that this deal will actually come to fruition. >> i believe secretary blinken is speaking right now. so let's listen in. >> this has been quite an eventful final week for this administration, making good on the president's commitment to use every minute, every day of every week that we had to get results. um, when i came down here on my first full day in office, back when i had a little bit less gray hair. it's my daughter likes to point out i spoke about how the work that we do to keep the american people and the world informed. uh, through you, with you could not be more important. um, most of us have traveled, uh, well, more than a million miles now. >> together, we've done it with a remarkable press corps. people that i've gotten to know as as colleagues. if i said friends, that might actually create problems for

you. but let me simply say how much i appreciate the partnership, the professionalism, the work that we've done. i have even greater respect, even greater appreciation for you asking the tough questions for you, holding us to account. um, being on the receiving end sometimes. that's not always the most comfortable thing. not always the most enjoyable thing, but it is the most necessary thing in our democracy. and gaza were on the receiving end of your bombs. why did you keep them so flowing when we had a deal? i'm happy to address questions. we had a deal. everyone in this room knows we had a deal, tony. and you kept the bombs flowing. i'm happy to address questions when we get a chance. thank you. based order on the mantle of your commitment to zion. do you want to finish? why did you allow my friends to be massacred? why did you? i'm happy to address your questions when we. when we get to questions. thank you. thank you. you helped destroy our religion. yeah. i have a statement. yeah, i have a statement to make. thank you. waved the white flag before netanyahu. you waved the white flag before israeli

fascist. i look forward to taking questions when i get a chance to finish my statement. thank you. israel lobbyists, are you compromised by israel? why did you allow the holocaust of our time to happen? how does it feel to have your legacy be genocide? how does it feel to have your legacy be genocide? you two? you smirked through the whole thing every day. you smirk through your genocide. thank you. thank you and thank you, matt. now i've got a few more things to say, and then i'm happy to take any questions about anything as we've done these past four years. um, and indeed, i'll talk a little bit about the developments of the last few days as well. but i first really wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you, and also thank you to everyone. well, okay, i was there's an asterisk and yes, thank you, matt lee. um, but also to a remarkable press team here led by matt miller. uh, who do the work every day of trying to make sure that you're informed

the american people are informed. let me also just take a step back before diving into the developments of this week. these last days, just to consider how far we've come over these past four years, and also to think a little bit about where we might be going from here. when president biden took office, the united states faced the worst public health crisis in more than a century. it faced the worst economic crisis since the great depression and unprecedented breaches with allies and partners around the world. our adversaries saw a historic opportunity to work together to challenge our interests, to challenge our global standing, to challenge the international system of rules and principles on which our security and prosperity depend. for the first time, i had an opportunity to speak at length in this role. i laid out how we would work to leverage american diplomacy to safeguard and accelerate america's renewal, how we would reimagine and

revitalize our greatest strategic asset, our unmatched network of allies and partners to deliver on issues that actually matter in the lives of our fellow citizens, matter in their livelihoods, matter in their futures, and to defend against increasingly assertive and aggressive revisionist authoritarian powers. and also how we'd modernize our own diplomacy to try to deliver on these priorities, to ensure that this department is ready to meet the tests of a more contested, a more complicated, a more combustible world. as president biden emphasized when he was here on monday, thanks to historic investments at home and around the world, the united states can now operate from a position of greater strength to tackle all of these challenges. our adversaries and competitors are weaker. our strategy of renewal to set the stage for america to win the fierce competition, to shape a new era of international affairs, to the benefit of our people, to the benefit of

people around the world. and i think this week was another reminder both of the power and the purpose of american leadership and american diplomacy over 15 months of devastating conflict between israel and hamas. we've worked to broker a deal that would bring hostages home, that would stop the fighting, that would surge humanitarian aid to people who so desperately need it. that would create the space to conclude a permanent cease fire. we now have that, and we expect implementation of the agreement to begin on sunday. president biden said yesterday after more than 400 days of struggle, a day of success has arrived. i want to thank our fellow mediators, qatar and egypt, for their extraordinary partnership, and i want to thank my colleagues, in particular jake sullivan, bill burns, brett mcgurk, for their remarkable skill, tireless dedication over these many months of negotiation. will you

recognize the geneva conventions apply to the palestinians? and again, i'm happy to address questions when we have a chance. i'm happy to address questions in a moment. thank you. this is a moment of tremendous relief for israelis and palestinians alike. the daughter of one hostage spoke for many when she said, i can't wait to see them come back to their families. i'm so desperate to see them. a mother of five displaced from gaza city said simply. we are being reborn. it's also a moment of historic possibility for the region and well beyond. it's going to take tremendous effort, political courage, compromise to realize that possibility, to try to ensure that the gains that have been achieved over the past 15 months at enormous, excruciating cost are actually enduring to manage the still profound risks, to deliver on the promise of a more integrated middle east. and simply put, to forge this reality, there are

two immediate imperatives. first, to fully implement the cease fire deal. and then second, to finalize a plan, an effective plan. as i spelled out earlier this week that provides for gaza's transitional governance, its security, its reconstruction, and that can make the halt in fighting endure. delivering on these two priorities will in turn create the conditions for israel and saudi arabia to normalize relations between them, which will require a credible pathway to a palestinian state. on each of these imperatives. we've delivered concrete progress, and we've laid a foundation for success, which we will hand over to the incoming administration. together, they represent a historic opportunity to advance the long term interests of the united states. our partners in the region and around the middle east, in ukraine as well. we've seen the results of steadfast american leadership. we rallied and kept together some 50 countries to help ukraine defend itself from putin's war of aggression through ukrainian courage, and also western resolve and

firepower. ukraine repelled russia's invasion and took back half the territory it originally seized. we marshaled commitments from countries around the world that will help ukraine deter and defend against future attacks and stand on its own feet militarily, economically, democratically. we've also imposed the most ambitious sanctions and export controls ever on russia, cutting off its biggest banks, reducing dramatically europe's reliance on russian energy, oil and gas almost to zero at this point, as a result of some of our latest sanctions. russian oil tankers are piling up along the chinese coast, unable to offload. ukraine will continue to stand as an independent, democratic nation anchored in the west, with the freedom to choose its own future. if we sustain our support for ukraine, if we continue to exacerbate putin's growing manpower and economic dilemmas, we can continue to help ukrainians gain leverage to negotiate a just and secure peace. now, i got back from

what was my 21st trip to the indo-pacific in this job just a short while ago, a region where the united states is now competing from a position of strength. we brought our regional allies together, our partners together around a shared vision for a free and open indo-pacific, where goods and ideas and people flow freely, where rules are applied fairly and transparently, where countries are free to choose both their own path and their own partners. we enhance bilateral relationships with our core treaty allies with japan, south korea, australia, the philippines. we forged a new era of trilateral cooperation with japan and korea, with japan and the philippines as well. we re-energized the quad with japan, india, australia, strengthened our relationships with asean, the pacific island countries, elevated partnerships with vietnam and indonesia as the dprk and the prc continue to fuel putin's war of aggression against ukraine, underscoring how european and asian security

are indivisible. we've also built enduring bridges between our pacific and atlantic allies and partners. australia, japan and south korea have provided important support to ukraine in 2021. european allies were on the verge of signing a massive trade agreement with china. now they're coordinating with us on everything from investment screening mechanisms to supply chain resilience to pushing back on china's overcapacity and unfair trade practices. at the same time, we've managed our competition with china responsibly so it doesn't veer into conflict while also cooperating on challenges where the world expects great powers to lead and where it's clearly in the interests of the american people, from climate change to fentanyl. we've also demonstrated that other countries can rely on the united states to tackle some of our biggest shared challenges and deliver on some of our own, on their own national aspirations. preventing disease outbreaks, enhancing food security, accelerating the clean energy transition, bringing together a global coalition of more than 160 countries to address the synthetic opioid crisis. as we

celebrate the return of hostages in gaza, including americans, as we look to relief for the people of gaza, i'm also thinking of all those u.s. citizens who are held wrongfully or hostage in countries around the world. i carried with me. >> miller says he doesn't know about the hannibal directive. >> again, i'm happy to address questions in just in a few more minutes. i look forward to answering questions a few more minutes. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. >> thank lots of speech. thank you. let me answer some questions. >> i look forward to answering questions. >> thank you. instead of making another speech every day. sir, would you like to be escorted out? go away. you don't have the responsibility to tell me where to go. do you want to be sorted out or not? >> thank you. i look forward to answering questions in a minute. thank you. >> i'm not a potted plant. >> everyone will have an opportunity to ask a question in just a minute. thank you. >> so has explicitly told me he will not answer my questions. i'm justified. so what i'm

doing, sir, i have no greater pleasure in this job than crossing off a list i carry in my pocket the names of those who had been arbitrarily detained and unfairly held hostage, unjustly held hostage, and bringing them home, returning them to their families, returning them to their loved ones. >> finally, i just wanted to share this morning. >> get your hands off me! get your hands off me! get your hands off me! answer a question. >> i look forward to answering questions in a few minutes about israel's nuclear weapons. >> everybody from the icj. i was sitting here quietly, and now i'm being manhandled by 2 or 3 people. you pontificate about a free press. you pontificate about a free press. you're hurting me. >> you are hurting me. >> you are hurting me. i am asking questions. after being told by matt miller that he will not answer my questions until i'm asked. >> please, sir, respect the respect the process. we'll have an opportunity to take questions in a few minutes. >> wasn't the point of the the

may 31st statement to block the icj orders? you blocked the icj orders. you. >> please, sir, respect the process. thank you. >> respect the process. respect the process. while everybody, everybody from the from amnesty international, from edison international to the icj saying that israel is doing genocide and extermination, and you're telling me to respect the process criminal. why aren't you in the hague? why aren't you in the hague? >> why aren't you in the hague? >> finally, we've worked to modernize our diplomacy so that we're more agile, we're more effective, we're more prepared for the challenges of a new era. we've reorganized this department to lead on issues that increasingly animate our diplomacy, whether it's emerging technology, public health, strategic competition, economic statecraft. we've embraced new tools and approaches, from integrating data and a.i. into the work that we do, strengthening our capacity to anticipate, to plan for risks as well as

opportunities in this more volatile world. maybe most important, we've invested in our people, improving our hiring and retention practices, diversifying our workforce, strengthening our training, providing more support to employees throughout their careers. we've hired the largest foreign service officer class in more than a decade, and we've grown our civil service corps at the fastest rate in more than 20 years. it was gratifying to me, and i think to everyone in this department, that among the first and last stops, president biden made in his tenure was right here at the state department. i think that is powerful evidence of the trust that he placed in us to carry out this country's foreign policy. our diplomats represent this country with exceptional skill, with professionalism, with heart. they often do so at great personal sacrifice, little fanfare in some of the world's most challenging environments. it has been,

simply put, the greatest of honors to be able to work shoulder to shoulder with them. these past four years, there have also been moments of disappointment, of hardship, of heartbreak. but i leave this job knowing that we spent every day thinking about and working toward what we believe is best for our people, the citizens. we have the immense privilege of representing, and i'm confident we leave office with our country and with this department in a much stronger position than we found it. now, with that one last time, i look forward to taking some questions. mr. miller matt, i'll start us off. um, thank you very much, mr. secretary. >> and, uh, thank you for your very opening comments about, uh, about the work. that cooperation with

with us, the press corps. >> um, even when we haven't always been satisfied or with with the answers, we certainly appreciate the your willingness to engage with us. >> and so thank you for that. um, i want to start, uh, actually, i only have one question. exactly 16 years ago today, january 16th, 2009, former, uh, outgoing secretary of state condoleezza rice had her final press briefing here. and all of the questions she got were about israel and gaza. every single one of them. and she said, we were working on an enduring cease fire. you know, she was about to sign an agreement with then foreign minister livni. um, that would that would that would move toward that way. she was

working with international partners. names have changed, but countries pretty much the same egypt, the europeans, the gulf arab states. um, and so 16 years ago, we were in the same situation that we're in now, particularly because the cease current one still seems to be in limbo. uh, i'm wondering if you can point to any progress that has been made over the course of those. the bush administration, the obama administration, you know, has there been has there been anything that has changed or given you hope? because we're basically back in the same position we were 16 years ago? >> yeah. thank you. matt. this is, um, a long story. it's an enduring story. it's a story that is not likely to end

anytime soon. and if you go back over the course of many administrations, not only secretary rice, but so many of our predecessors and so many of her successors, and now and now me, this is a story that we've been engaged in one way or another. and i think each of us has probably brought the conviction to it that we could and should do everything possible to try to get to and right a better conclusion, a good conclusion for the story. and so many of us for many years have labored to do just that. i think one of the lessons that we we have to take away is that as resourceful and as powerful as we are, at the end of the day, we can't make decisions for others. they have to make them. they have to make hard choices. they have to take chances. we can do everything possible to push, to prod, to

encourage, to support. but ultimately the decision lies with those most directly concerned. that's one thing. but the second thing is, and i believe this strongly, um, there's also no substitute for our engagement, for the efforts that we make in trying to move this, move this forward and get to a better place. and yes, we have absolutely seen both progress and promise. and the question is whether leaders on all sides with the people behind them will find a way to seize on those opportunities. so as i laid out in some detail just the other day, when we took office, we were very focused on pursuing greater integration in the region as the the real answer to creating more security, more peace, more opportunity for people, not change, not trying to change. individual countries, governments, societies, but

bringing them closer together. and before october 7th, we've done a lot of work on this integration, building on the abraham accords of the first trump administration, pointing toward the normalization of relations between saudi arabia and israel, and as you all know, we were all planning to go to saudi arabia and israel because we've made so much progress on the normalization of chords on on october 10th, the trip that, of course, didn't happen to do two things to try to help finalize agreements that were necessary to get to normalization. and as part of that, to find a clear way forward, a pathway to a palestinian state vital to to saudi arabia, very important to us as well, even with everything that's happened since october 7th, i believe strongly, including from my many conversations with leaders in the region, whether it's in israel, in saudi arabia or beyond that, the desire to

pursue integration, the desire to bring countries together, remain strong, remains powerful and can be a driving force for finally resolving some of these other questions, including the palestinian question, israel's deepest desire. >> listening to secretary blinken taking questions on israel hamas that deal. but as you heard, he was repeatedly interrupted by some cringeworthy heckling by activists, which is highly unusual in a situation like this. let's listen to that. as he was thinking, the press at the beginning of his comments. >> not always the most enjoyable thing, but it is the most necessary thing in our democracy in gaza. >> were on the receiving end of your bombs. why did you keep them so flowing when we had a deal? >> i'm happy to address questions. >> we had a deal. everyone in this room knows we had a deal, tony. and he kept the bombs flowing. >> i'm happy to address questions when we get a chance. >> thank you. order on the mantle of your commitment to zionism. do you want to finish? why did you allow my friends to be massacred? >> why did you? i'm happy to address your questions when we.

when we get to questions. thank you. thank you. >> you helped destroy our religion. you newsom by association. >> yeah. i have a statement. i have a statement to make. >> thank you. waved the white flag before netanyahu. you waved the white flag before israeli fascist. >> i look forward to taking questions when i get a chance to finish my statement. thank you. all right, so that's what happened as this press conference started, i want to bring you in, alex. >> i mean, we were both sitting here pretty stunned, frankly. this is supposed to be a press conference with a room of journalists. those were activists who were interrupting the secretary of state when he initially was thinking the press and talking about the israeli hamas deal. >> yeah, i think it's really surprising. a lot of our viewers will have seen protests on capitol hill, for example, during confirmation hearings. but it's very rare for something like that to happen at the state department. i'm over there all the time in that briefing room, and you need to have a reason to be at the state department. you need to have an appointment. you need to have press accreditation to to come and go. so it's it's unclear who those people were. so i think there's a there's a

real security question there. and in terms of like who gets to come into the building, i think it also speaks to the incredible anger at the biden administration, both domestically and internationally, for for the support that they have have given to israel. you heard someone there talking about allowing them to to kill my friends. i think he's referring to to journalists in gaza. but i think the, the, the bigger picture was a good question there from matt lee, a legend in that building from the associated press, talking about what's different between now and 16 years ago, when condoleezza rice was leaving the state department, they were also talking about israel and gaza and, um, you know, what's going to change? how can anything change? and as we ducked out there, secretary blinken was talking about the abraham accords. and i think this is going to be something we're going to be talking about a lot in the coming months. this is essentially going to be the guiding principle when it comes to middle east. for the trump administration. um, trump, his biggest foreign policy victory, he would tell you in the first term was the abraham accords,

the normalization between several arab countries and israel. he wants to expand that to saudi arabia. and i think that is probably the best chance for things to to change at this point, because saudi arabia is essentially saying that if we're going to normalize with israel, then there needs to be a palestinian state. and that is one thing that that could end this war. so there are a lot of moving parts before we get there. but the one thing that really could change the paradigm of what we've been seeing in the middle east is the enlargement of those abraham accords. >> and we have, i think, video of another angle of what happened there and the press room at the state department. >> let's watch, you know, about israel's nuclear weapons. everybody from the icj. i was sitting here quietly, and now i'm being manhandled by 2 or 3 people. you pontificate about a free press. you pontificate about a free press. you're hurting me. you are hurting me. you are hurting me. i am asking questions. after being told by matt miller that he will not answer my questions until i'm asking

questions, was, was, wasn't, wasn't, wasn't the it wasn't the point of the, uh, the may 31st statement to block the icj orders. you blocked the icj orders, you we respect the process, respect the process, respect the process. all everybody. everybody from the from amnesty international, from edison international to the icj saying that israel is doing genocide and extermination. you're telling me to respect the process? criminal. why aren't you in the hague? why aren't you in the hague? why are you in about israel? >> wow. >> so i can't speak to. to who that was. um, what i will say is that, you know, over the past few years, whether it's the pentagon, the state department, the white house, we have seen. and allow me to be cheesy for a moment. this is a testament to american democracy and the way that american administrations approach their press rooms. they give accreditation to a wide number

of journalists and increasingly, um, what i would call less mainstream journalists, more opinion journalists who have the opportunity to go to the state department, to go to the white house and to ask questions of the representatives of that administration. so i'm always amazed whenever i go to these different press rooms about who's actually sitting there. it's not just americans, it's people from all over the world, from turkey, from china, from south korea, who get to ask questions of people like matt miller at the state department or karine jean-pierre at the white house. and so there's a relatively open policy for now in these different press rooms. um, but what we're looking at is what was supposed to be the final press briefing by secretary blinken to a lot of the press who have been covering him for years. you can see a couple of them there in the front rows of the state department. and he was interrupted in a very dramatic fashion, not just on this one occasion, but but several times during this ongoing press conference. >> yeah. and i believe we need to check this, but there may

have been more than one. it may have been beyond the person we see right here. and usually, you know, as you pointed out, alex, you see you see something like this on capitol hill. we saw it during the cabinet hearings this week with pete hegseth. it's unusual to see that in the press room at the state department, but we also shouldn't lose sight of why everyone is gathered there today to be able to ask questions of the secretary of state, blinken, which is happening right now about the israel-hamas deal. we heard blinken say that it is imperative that that deal is implemented, as there's been some last minute hiccups along the way. we're going to take a quick break and we'll be back on the other end. >> can areva support your brain health? >> mary? janet. hey, eddie. >> no! >> frasier. frank. frank! >> fred, how are you? >> fred? >> support up to seven brain health indicators, including memory. when you need to remember. remember, nariva. >> a vacation starts with how you get there.

cnn, happening now on capitol hill. >> it is day three of confirmation hearings for president-elect trump's cabinet picks, including trump's pick for treasury, who would oversee taxes, tariffs and the debt ceiling. cnn's manu raju joins us now from capitol hill. what are you hearing, manu? >> so yeah, five nominees actually have been going through their confirmation hearings today. perhaps one of the most high profile ones is the treasury secretary nominee, scott bessent. he is someone who is expected to be confirmed, potentially with some democratic support as well. but here there's been actually some back and forth that has happened in this committee with donald trump's proposed tariffs. his threat to go after a number of american allies because of to to press them on a variety of issues like canada, like mexico, as well as adversaries like china. that has been one of the criticisms that came from the top democrat on the committee, ron wyden, moments ago, saying that he believes that those costs will be passed on to

consumers and to businesses. that is actually besson pushed back on that notion in this open hearing and signing a lot with donald trump on this issue. so this is one of several nominees that are expected to be to move rather quickly, potentially as soon as next week. we could here see some of these nominees be confirmed on the senate floor. and also some of the more controversial ones like pete hegseth, pam, pamela, there's signs that republicans are in good shape on that as well. some of the gop swing votes indicating they are on board. now. i just talked to senator john curtice of utah, who says he is going to support this nomination. so a good sign for donald trump in getting his cabinet filled. >> yeah, that's actually really notable that that senator curtis is saying that he was the one he was one of the ones we weren't really sure about. manu raju. thank you so much. we'll be right back. >> super man, the christopher reeve story, february 2nd on cnn. >> it ain't my dad's razor, dad. >> hey. watch it. >> it's from gillette labs. this green bar releases trapped hairs from my face. game

changer. while the flex disc contours to it so the five blades can get virtually every hair in one stroke. for the ultimate gillette shaving experience, the best it can get is gillette labs. >> a heart attack was scary. >> never want to go through that again. >> but we could with heart disease. >> you never know. >> so we made changes. >> green juice. >> diet, exercise. >> statins helped, but our ldl, or bad cholesterol. it was stuck. >> stuck? >> just couldn't lower it enough. and high ldl seemed a real risk of another attack. >> so i said, let's ask our doctor about repatha. >> what can i say? listen to your heart. >> repatha plus a statin dramatically lowers ldl-c by 63% and drops the risk of having a heart attack by 27%. do not take repatha if you're allergic to it. serious allergic reactions can occur. get medical help right away if you have trouble breathing or swallowing. swelling of the face, lips, tongue, throat, or arms. common side effects include runny nose. sore throat. common cold symptoms. flu or flu like symptoms, back pain, high blood sugar and redness, pain or bruising at

to attend his inauguration monday with some prime seating. the heads of ex meta, amazon, tiktok, google and openai are all set to be there, and they'll reportedly have seating right near trump's cabinet. nominees and incoming administration. joining us now is cnn contributor and veteran tech journalist kara swisher. kara, off the bat, i just want to get your reaction to what we heard from president biden warning of the dangers of an oligarchy taking shape in the u.s. >> well, well, he's actually referring to dwight eisenhower's speech. >> the military industrial complex. >> it had very similar resonances. >> it's a similar phrase. and he and you should go back and watch that, because that's something to to deal with because he was a general himself. and so i thought it was a very strong speech. i don't know if anyone's paying attention to it right now, but historically, it's the correct thing to have done. i thought he was quite articulate about it and he was giving the warning. now, again, nobody's paying attention to him, but i thought it should have been said, and it should be said by the president. and he's and he's he's echoing a very great president, dwight

eisenhower. so i thought that was great. >> so we know musk elon musk has a close relationship with donald trump. but we're now seeing these other tech bosses trying to cozy up to the president elect, the leaders of google, meta, amazon, tesla, openai will all be at the inauguration. some have donated to his inauguration. and the new york times reports that mark zuckerberg is even hosting an inauguration party. yes. what does it signal to you that that these tech leaders are playing such a big role in trump's inauguration? >> they're sucking up to him. i don't know what else to say. they have self-interest, shareholder interests. they want to make money. many of them don't like him, and i've heard from them, but they don't care. they're sitting there. in musk's case, actually, he was kind of rejected by biden for that ev summit, which is probably the greatest error biden made in terms of getting him mad enough to head over to trump because musk wasn't particularly political before that, he got very angry about the lack of invitation to an ev summit that said, that's water under the bridge. they all are. either they like him or they want to suck up to him, or they feel that there's self-interest

here, and that's what they're doing. a lot of them are doing it. you know, just ignoring how they actually feel in order to do that. interestingly, uber is also there, by the way. um, interestingly, satya nadella, who did meet with president trump and elon, showed up like he always does. he's like the guest that never leaves. um, he, uh, he's not going, which is interesting. but some of them and interestingly, a lot of some of the media people aren't going, which is interesting. um, but i think it's just pure self-interest. i don't know what else to say. >> well, let's talk a little bit more about mark zuckerberg, who has announced these sweeping changes. well, i know you have a few choice words about this, so i wanted to talk about it because i, i saw what you said on your podcast. so, yeah, i mean, it's like what, you know, clearly timed out. it seems to sort of release all these different initiatives that would appeal to trump, right, and end to both his fact checking and dei programs. he attributed the changes to a, quote, cultural tipping point. and let's take a listen to

what trump said last week meta. >> facebook. >> i think they've come a long way. >> i watched it, the man was very impressive. >> do you think he's directly responding to the threats that you have made to him in the past with these actions? yeah, probably. >> so there you go. you call zuckerberg a sad, shameless weathervane. yes, he is indeed. >> i mean, if kamala harris was president, he'd be asking us to call him. they them and celebrating and getting a swifty tattoo. i don't know, i don't know what he would have done if he goes wherever the power is. and that's the way mark zuckerberg behaves throughout his career. again, naked self-interest is what is is on the agenda. at the same time, he doesn't want to pay for what it takes, the costs it takes to do actually good moderation. so he makes all kinds of excuses. fact checkers don't work. a.i. doesn't work. et cetera. et cetera. and so this is what he does. he's been like this the whole time. i'm not even slightly surprised. and in four years, if a democrat wins, he'll be kissing up to them. and that's

what he does for a living. >> all right, so let's move on to elon musk. it seems like no one, as you pointed out, he's just the perennial guest, right? no one seems closer to trump right now than he is. take a listen to what steve bannon said about the tesla billionaire. >> look, when you write $250 million worth of checks, when you've got when you're that involved, when you have actually backed a ground game, you're going to have a seat at the table. i've always argued it can't be at the head of the table, and that table shouldn't be the cabinet room in the west wing. there's power and there's influence. what's shocking to me is he doesn't have much power. >> is he right? >> well, i hate to agree with steve bannon. let me believe me. it happens once every millennium. but he's correct. i think the reasons we i think steve bannon wants to be relevant and that's why he's doing this. and he of course has been shoved out by elon musk. and elon musk has the money that that steve bannon doesn't have. steve bannon certainly had influence and then got zeroed out and then was back again. whatever. um,

you know he's probably jealous of of the the the closeness and the access and would like it for himself on, on the other hand, whatever you think of his beliefs, he's a true believer. and he probably thinks elon musk is sort of a pay to play guy. and i think he's probably 100% right. and trump is a pay to play kind of guy. and he, you know, he needs the money. he needs the cudgel of elon musk to threaten, uh, various and sundry primaries and things like that. and so it's he's useful to him at this moment. and that's proven by the fact that the world's richest people are going to be sitting on a freezing cold stage on uncomfortable chairs on display, like they're on, on like china dolls or, you know, you know, chinese. um, uh, you know, plates on a shelf or something. >> yeah. we can, you know, envision. i know exactly what you're saying. >> yeah. toys on a shelf. they please put them up there to show them off. these are the world's richest people who could be anywhere else. and they're sitting there at the behest of donald trump, and they're going to sit there and take it from him, because he's

now the president of the united states. >> kara swisher thank you. thank you. and thank you all for joining us. i'm pamela brown. stay with us. inside politics dana bash starts after a short break. >> i just took a shower above the clouds. you know why? because this is the emirates a380. >> are they really going to
