more than any president that's ever been in this office. >> his decision to make these pardons forced republicans on capitol hill to try to answer for the decision. >> it was a horrible day. however. >> the american people have chosen to move on. >> to me. >> i just can't agree. >> it was surprising. >> to. >> me that it was a blanket. >> pardon? >> it's not my place. it's the president's sole decision. and he made a decision. so i stand with him on it. >> i think we need to. >> continue to be able to say we. >> are a party of law and order, and that is incredibly important to be able to protect those folks who are protecting us. >> the deck is cleared now. >> can we just stop. >> talking. >> about january 6th? >> trump also commuted the sentences of 14 members of far right extremist groups. he said his administration is reviewing those cases to see whether pardons are appropriate in the future. one individual who was part of trump's sweeping pardons is enrique tarrio, the former chairman of the proud boys. he was convicted for seditious conspiracy and

sentenced to more than two decades in prison. today, a free man. >> i'm happy. >> that the president is. >> focusing not. >> on retribution. >> and focusing on. >> success. but i will tell. you that i'm. >> not. >> going to play. by those rules. >> the people who did. >> this. >> they need. >> to feel. >> the heat. >> they need to be put behind. >> bars, and. >> they. >> need to be prosecuted. >> all right. joining us now, white house correspondent for semafor, shelby talcott. shelby. good morning. good morning. nice to see you. so donald trump yesterday was directly asked about one in particular, one person who committed was convicted of crimes on january 6th for tasing police officer brian sicknick. of course, sicknick later died in the wake of the capitol riots. this is really a departure from the law and order republican party of of the past. that said, the message from capitol hill

republicans seems to be we need to move forward. what is next here? >> you know, i think that is what. >> republicans are hoping. >> because this. >> is what donald trump. >> has done. >> and there's. >> really not much that they can do. and i think this is an instance. >> where. >> the republican party is still trying to figure out. >> where to push and pull. >> with donald trump. >> when is it. >> worth sort of. >> putting your foot down and pushing back on things he wants to do? >> they have decided that, right? >> this is an executive order. what's done. >> is done. >> they would like to. >> move on now. i as i say that i know that there are people within. >> the republican party. >> you heard it. mitch mcconnell. others who are more quietly sort of expressing surprise that donald. trump did a blanket pardon. i think the party would have been much more comfortable if it had been on a case by case basis. and, you know, i'm not sure exactly the reason why it wasn't on a case by case basis. what i do know is obviously this was a huge amount of pardons, and donald trump really wanted that done on day one. >> i should note the taser to the neck was actually michael fanone the washington police

officer, sicknick came under other violent attacks. the president was asked about about that yesterday. and, shelby, to your point, it seems as though there was i mean, jd vance had telegraphed that there wouldn't be pardons for violent offenders, that perhaps there was some back and forth inside the trump camp over this was whether this was the right thing to do. >> and i've done a lot of reporting on this over the past few years. and donald trump's sort of shift has been really interesting. and it's been in part because there have been a number of of individuals who are supporters of of these january 6th defendants who have slowly sort of figured out how to lobby donald trump on this issue. and that combined with donald trump's own legal issues, sort of helped him shift on this over the past two years. but again, at the same time, when i talked to people inside trump's orbit over the past two years, it was on the basis of this would be a case by case situation. but i think at the end of the day, donald trump wanted it on day one, and

i'm just not sure that there was the time to look into every single case individually and also have these pardons on day one. >> yeah. so, shelby, you, of course, are now the white house reporter at semafor um, for those who may remember, covered the first trump administration. the sheer pace of how this unfolds is worth remarking on. our stephen collinson, who writes kind of big picture takes for cnn.com, writes under this headline why trump's two days in the white house already feel like a full term. and he writes, it already feels like he's been back for months. donald trump is setting a frenetic pace, fulfilling campaign promises, imposing, undiluted power, settling scores after the sedate joe biden years, the return of a presidency that is an incessant assault on the senses is a reminder of why so many millions of americans see trump as a compelling, historic figure, and why millions more

deeply fear him. trump has cracked down hard on immigration, held a splashy $500 billion tech investment announcement, renamed the gulf of mexico, outlawed much of the diversity policy in the federal government, shopped around tiktok, fired people by social media posts, mooted territorial expansion, threatened trade war talks to reporters more than biden did in months, danced with a sword, mocked the rule of law by freeing january 6th, 2021 rioters lied about the 2020 election, exacted revenge against critics, including by pulling security from an ex-aide who was threatened by iran, criticized a bishop, threatened ethics and government, stigmatized trans americans, and cleared the way for ice arrests in schools and churches. and it's only been two days. >> yeah, i mean, this is definitely different than the biden administration, but this is what the transition team for the past two months has been planning. they wanted to come into this administration with sort of the shock and awe news wise, and that's what they've achieved. and part of the reason that they wanted to do that was because right now they have a trifecta in washington. they don't know how long they're going to be able to have that trifecta. and also

they understand that this is donald trump's last term. so he really needs to get everything done, not just in four years, but potentially in the first two years. >> so what are you anticipating for today, shelby? >> i wish i could tell you we don't have a readout. i do anticipate there's going to be probably some other big news. i think, you know, they're sort of trying to schedule this so that the first week has big news every single day. obviously, the first day was focused on all of these executive orders. the second day was focused on the infrastructure announcement. from my understanding, they are planning big news every single day throughout the week. later in the week. donald trump's obviously going to travel. that will make news in and of itself. so i don't know. stay tuned. >> got a lot in for ahead of you. shelby talcott, thank you very much for being with us this morning. all right. straight ahead here on cnn this morning, a southern spectacle states across the southeast pummeled with record breaking snow. plus, democratic congressman jake auchincloss joins us live to talk about president trump's ideas for the future of tiktok and how a

right, but it does not align with what have been the international norms around this. um, what do you think trump taking office means for the west bank in israel, as, of course, many jewish settlers have moved in there again, something that's extraordinarily controversial. but the right wing in israel seems to think that the trump administration may embrace it. >> well. >> the idea that, you. >> know, that. >> you know. >> israel has a biblical right. >> to. >> the west bank is. >> something reflected. >> by someone who donald trump has appointed. >> obviously. >> into that position. >> so they feel. >> quite emboldened by this. the right. >> and. >> smotrich is. >> very much, uh, you know, the representative of in the government of. >> that idea. >> that, you know, israelis should. >> have more control. >> over the west bank. so donald trump also talking about how getting rid of sanctions against some of those settlers who have. been fighting to get

more control of the west bank is also an indication. so in terms of netanyahu, he talks about the general axis, iranian axis that he's taking on. they are they exist within the west bank. hamas has become much more powerful there. so i think certainly israel feels much more empowered to create more settlements, to dig in in the west bank, off the back of donald trump. and what he's said. >> max, can we just talk big picture for a second? i'm you know, we're talking at the top of the show here about kind of the shock and awe campaign of governance, of trump coming into power here in the united states. can you just give me a sense of what the reaction has been like in the uk, in europe broadly to both what we saw the tech billionaires on stage with donald trump as he is sworn in and just the the, the blitz of actions he's taken since. i mean, how is the world taking this all in? >> are they not? because there's so much to take in. and if americans are struggling with a lot of

what's happening here, you know, what is an executive order? what does it mean when there are so many of them? it's just so much to take on. obviously, we've had some practice at this with the first trump presidency. i think everyone's just trying to work out exactly what it means for their particular country. obviously in canada and mexico, they're very worried right now because of this idea of tariffs, perhaps not as big as they thought they were going to be, but that's a direct thing that they can digest. but for other parts of the world, it's really just getting a sense of what he's actually going to do. what these executive orders mean. uh, obviously very much caught up with the show, the idea, you know, when he was signing off those executive orders, throwing the pens into the crowd, something we don't see with politicians on this side of the pond. certainly. but there's. lots of entertainment there. yeah, i know exactly. well, we've got, you know, i think what's going to be interesting is the german elections coming up where, you know, elon musk is very involved. the far right is doing particularly well. that is europe's biggest economy. will

something in the german election be reflected from the american election and the type of leader that comes through that? you know, it's what he inspires really in other countries as much as what america will do in relation to those countries. >> really? very. it could be very interesting to watch. max foster always grateful for you, sir. thanks for being there for us. all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, new developments in the burglary at quarterback joe burrows house. police now reporting a big break in the case. plus, take a look at new orleans. we'll talk about how people in the south are dealing with record snow. >> cnn central today at 7:00 eastern. >> want a next. >> level clean. >> swish with the whoa of listerine? it kills 99.9% of bad breath germs for five times more cleaning power than

but when we find him, he may be with others. >> others that. >> don't have a criminal conviction but are in the country illegally. they will be arrested too. there's going to be more collateral arrests in sanctuary cities because. because they forced us to go into the community and find and find the guy we're looking for. >> all right. joining us now to discuss this and all things congress, kevin fry, washington correspondent for spectrum news new york. one. kevin, good morning. good morning. nice to see you. so this is a situation that that obviously puts a lot of teachers as well as potentially clergy and others on the spot. these are places that historically obviously we we said, you know what? this is not a place where we're going to execute this kind of enforcement. there is obviously a question about who's going to pay for the stepped up enforcement. that's a role that that congress has. what's the reaction been so far to this announcement? >> well, i mean, look, we've seen schools. and school districts, for example, in new york city, where i cover predominantly. i mean, they have been training their staff to try to, you know, figure out how to navigate these sorts of instances and see exactly what the best way is to implement

this on the ground in terms of dealing with these sorts of attempts, in terms of just the general sense, though, i mean, this fits into the general narrative of kind of the shock and awe that the trump administration is trying to lay out. and so this is fitting into that aspect of the agenda, because even if they don't go through with it in the short term, the fear is perhaps the larger implication. >> yeah. and this is setting up as well, a lot of tension between state and local officials and the trump administration. i want to play a little bit more of what tom homan had to say. the denver mayor, of course, has kind of pushed back on the federal government said that they're not going to cooperate with some of their plans in his city. let's watch what homan had to say about him. >> me and the denver mayor. we agree on one thing. >> he's willing to. >> go to jail. >> i'm willing. >> to put him in jail. >> we're going to enforce the law, period. >> and they're. >> not going. >> to stop us. >> we're going to enforce the law, and they're not going to stop us. he's willing to go to jail. i'm willing to put him

there. like you said, you cover new york. this is a place that cities across the country are grappling with. >> yeah. and i mean, it's the separation of powers, which traditionally you think of republicans basically arguing that local jurisdictions should be leading the way on issues. this is very much a different, opposite approach on that, where it's more or less dictating down. it also then puts these local officials in this uncomfortable position. obviously, he's threatening to essentially jail him of trying to throw out their own jurisdiction and force their own local regulations. on top of this is also the idea of the sanctuary city policies, which of course, has become really in the spotlight by republicans for some time now. and trying to, among other things, we've seen congress talk about is float legislation to essentially defund them or pull back federal funding from them and threaten federal funding in response to them not changing their local on the ground policies. >> yeah. so, kevin, we obviously have the kind of this big picture, you know, one, two, whatever massive legislation that's going to

move through congress. but one of the more pressing issues facing congress here and president trump, we know, plans to travel to california to view the wildfires later on this week, view the damage that was caused by those wildfires. congress needs to send help. there's a huge need, but there are questions about conditions that may be placed on the aid. i want to show you what mike johnson had to say in a recent interview on fox news about this. let's watch. >> are you saying that you that california, if they continue to aid and abet law and harboring illegal immigrants, money from dc gets cut off? >> yeah, we're we're talking about conditions to this disaster aid. >> is that going to get through? i mean, are there going to be conditions on this disaster aid? >> well, let's start with a couple different things. there are many different pieces that are at play here in terms of how congress is going to figure things out over the next couple of months, because on top of that, you also have the idea of of tying disaster aid to the debt ceiling. you have the

question of specific regulations, which it's ironic, given that speaker johnson is from louisiana. of course, they have dealt with plenty of disasters and have needed plenty of money funneled into that state. um, it's not clear to me exactly how this ends. democrats are already very much adamant that won conditions are a nonstarter, and the idea of throwing the debt ceiling into all of this is also a nonstarter. and part of that is because democrats coming into this congress after it wasn't attached in december, despite trump's last minute push, view the debt ceiling as one of their bargaining chips and their ability to actually kind of extract something from it. >> they're going to need democratic votes to raise the debt ceiling. >> completely. >> so they have to give them something. >> they have to get something in exchange. >> yeah. fair enough. all right. kevin fryer, thank you very much for being with us today. appreciate it. see you soon. all right. let's turn now to this story. president trump not pleased with the sermon that was delivered by the right reverend mariann edgar buddy, the bishop of washington, at tuesday's national cathedral prayer service. >> i ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country

who are scared now. there are gay, lesbian and transgender children in democratic, republican and independent families. some who fear for their lives. >> throughout the sermon, trump you can see him there remained relatively stoic afterward. he was asked what he thought of it. >> not too exciting. >> was it? >> i didn't think it was a good service. no. they can do much. >> better after midnight. the president escalated his critique. he posted this on his truth social platform, quote, the so-called bishop who spoke at the national prayer service on tuesday morning, was a radical left. hard line trump hater. she brought her church into the world of politics in a very ungracious way. she was nasty in tone and not compelling or smart. trump goes on to say, quote, reverend buddy owes the public an apology. joined now by josh wingrove, senior white

house reporter for bloomberg, josh good morning. good morning. you attended that service as part of the pool. yeah, the presidential pool. and you also saw that colonnade interaction that president trump had afterward. talk a little bit about what it was like to be in that room at that time, and how president trump reacted. >> yeah. >> until then, it had been pretty run of the mill. i mean, this was a multi-faith service. >> you know, there was all the trappings that you would. >> expect with that. it began with the anthem. in other. >> words. >> trump is sort of the elephant. >> in the room. no one was speaking directly to him. and then. her sermon just kind of perked everyone's ear up because she was the first person to address him directly. and of course, you heard the clip they're talking about, not, you know, asking him to have mercy on lgbt kids in particular, as well as illegal immigrants or, i suppose, migrants, people working in fields and overnight and as cleaners in america essentially calling on him for mercy. overall, it wasn't a

particularly controversial statement. but of course, she's pushing back on core elements of his platform and what he's trying to do. so he took it as a political attack sometimes, as you know, when you try to shout questions to presidents, they walk on by. you saw from that clip we were pushing on open door. he he stopped pretty quickly to talk about it. so it's, you know, it's gnawing at him. trump, you know, he's basking right now in the early days of it. he's doing a lot of executive actions, taking a lot of first term moves, not a lot of criticism is necessarily breaking through that, i think. and so that that this is sort of the first real bump in the road for him in the sort of celebration that he's been seeing for these first 36, 48 hours of his presidency. >> yeah. reverend buddy was also spoke a little bit about why she decided to do this later in an interview. let's watch what she said. >> i was speaking to the president because i felt that he has this moment now where he feels charged and empowered to do what he feels called to

do. and i wanted to say, you know, there is room for mercy. there's room for a broader compassion. >> trump, of course, seems more focused typically on the old testament than the new. he has said an eye for an eye is his favorite bible verse. the message she has there is more along the lines of, you know, blessed are, blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. is trump. we're also we have a congressman calling for buddy to be deported as well. i mean, is this going to escalate from here? >> i mean, he seems like he's escalating it. i don't necessarily know where it goes from here. i would put obviously, the odds of a deportation at pretty much zero here. i don't know, like trump sees everything transactional. you know this. you know we've covered him. he this is sort of a feud now in his eyes. so he's going to escalate. if the reverend is on air, he's going to keep responding. and that's where we're going to be. but you know, she's speaking for

herself and presumably broader her broader community, her church and her faith. and he's speaking for the maga movement. and that's where we are on it, i think i think, you know, he has, of course, curated so much support from evangelical leaders and groups and people across the u.s. there's no sign of that shaking. there's never been any sign of that shaking that that support was demonstrated in november's election. and so i think, you know, he feels like there's not a lot of risk to him pursuing this right now. but you know, we'll see. this was, of course, a day when he was taking other steps. and he was, you know, had a big announcement around a.i. funding pledges that are a little bit murky and, of course, continues to roll out these executive orders. but what had him up posting on truth social at 1240 in the morning. >> this is someone who criticized him, yet worth noting that evangelical, more conservative churches have diverged from the modern episcopalian church, with

reverend buddy obviously represents. thank you very much, josh winger. appreciate your time this morning. all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, president trump's sweeping pardons and commutations over january 6th. ahead, what some of those people are saying now that they're out of jail. plus, congressman jake auchincloss of massachusetts will join me. he'll discuss the ongoing battle over tiktok, including president trump's thoughts about what should happen to it. >> the whole story with anderson. >> cooper sunday. >> at eight. >> on cnn. >> with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, my skin was no longer mine. >> my active. >> psoriatic arthritis joint symptoms held me back. >> don't let. symptoms define you. emerge as. you with clearer. skin with tremfya. most people saw 100% clear skin that stayed clear even at five years. tremfya is proven to

significantly reduce joint pain, stiffness and swelling. >> serious allergic reactions and increased risk of infections may occur. before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tb. tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms or if you need a vaccine. >> emerge as you with clear skin. ask your doctor about tremfya. >> patients who have sensitive teeth but also want whiter teeth. they have to make a choice one. >> versus the other. >> sensodyne clinical white provides. >> two shades. >> whiter teeth, as well as providing 24 over seven sensitivity protection. patients are going to love to see sensodyne on the shelf. >> lumify. >> it's kind of amazing. >> wow. >> lumify eye. >> drops dramatically. >> reduce redness. >> in one minute. >> and look at. >> the difference. >> my eyes look brighter and whiter. >> for up to eight hours. >> lumify really works. >> see for. >> yourself. >> man. >> remember that. >> time when our eye bags made us look sexy? >> yeah. >> me neither. now we can

with r.i.p. tiktok 2016 to 2025 before finding out the ban was lifted. it's a shame because it ruins what otherwise would be a beautiful tattoo. that's right. >> tiktok is still intact, at least for the next 73 days. president trump signing an executive order granting the extension, giving him time to negotiate a deal with the app's chinese parent company, bytedance. the company has been required by law to sell the majority of its stake or be banned. trump floating the idea of a 50 over 50 joint venture with bytedance and an american investor. as for potential buyers, the president has a few names in mind. are you open to elon. >> buying tiktok? >> i would be if he wanted to buy it. yeah. >> on her inauguration. on your. >> inauguration, i'd like larry to buy it, too. i have the right to make a deal. >> joining us now to discuss democratic congressman jake auchincloss of massachusetts. congressman, good morning to you. good morning. uh, trump brought back tiktok. this is something you focus on a lot. the influence of china. was that the right move? was it the

right move to restore it now? >> no. in fact, it was illegal. the statute allows the president to grant a 90 day extension if there is a deal in progress, and the negotiations require more time. that is not the case here. he does not have a right to just grant an extension, because he wants more time to try to make a deal happen. bytedance has had almost a year. so one, it's illegal and two, it's unwise. uh, i approach this issue not just as a member of the china select committee, but also as one of the youngest parents in congress. i got a four year old, a three year old, a one year old. the way i see it, i have four years before they start scrolling and these tech executives get richer the more time my kids and your kids spend on their smartphones. but instead of taking them on, donald trump invites $12 trillion of their market cap to sit in front of his cabinet at his inaugural address. who is going to fight for the digital town square in this country to reclaim it from the attention fracking of the corporate powers, not just the chinese communist corporate power, but american corporate power.

that's what congress needs to step up and do. >> what do you think it would mean if elon musk were to be the investor? the other 50%? would that satisfy your concerns? >> no. and in fact, i don't really know what trump is talking about with this 50 over 50 deal with the u.s. owns half and the chinese again, not within the statute. the statute is quite clear. it has to be a company answerable to u.s. law and american company. now, i'm not going to weigh in on the exact form of this acquisition. that's not the job of congress. but what is clear is that it needs to be a company answerable to u.s. law. and that then congress needs to act against all of these social media corporations, not just tiktok, but ex facebook, instagram to puncture their section 230 shield and hold them accountable for a digital town square that's not purely monetizing people's attention spans. >> when you saw those tech executives arrayed on stage

with donald trump, does that. did did did that visual give you any confidence that congress is going to be willing to puncture that shield in the next four years? >> last term, the top democrat and top republican on the committee of jurisdiction wrote an op ed in the wall street journal calling for a sunsetting of section 230. section 230 is that law that basically makes these social media corporations not liable for any of the toxicity on their platforms, including online deepfake pornography? 98% of deepfake videos online are non-consensual pornographic content targeting young women. these execs don't care. none of those people at the capitol sitting in front of the cabinet, have any interest whatsoever in resolving that issue, because they don't have to legally. so i do see bipartisan support for it in congress. but we are undermined in doing so. when donald trump invites the tiktok ceo to the inaugural address. i mean, what message does that send? wonder about our ability to stand up to china, but two, our ability to stand up to the tech oligarchy that has really taken over what should be a public

good. the town square. >> congressman, let's change topics a little bit, because immigration has obviously gone become front and center as donald trump has taken office, issued this litany of executive orders, one new development overnight is the lifting of the general policy of not of ice, not going after undocumented immigrants in their schools and in their churches. that's something that now the policy is going to say that's an acceptable move. do you think that's the right thing to do? >> no. schools and churches should be places where everybody can feel safe and welcome. they have, by tradition, been places that have been set apart from that type of enforcement. now, if the president is trying to deport criminals, we should work with him on that. criminals should be deported. if the president is working to seal up the border, we can work with him in good faith on that. and in fact, democrats negotiated a bipartisan border security deal last congress that he then torpedoed. but if he's trying to violate the

norm of posse comitatus and and turn the military into a domestic law enforcement arm, that's sowing fear and indiscriminate immigration rates, no, that's not who we are as a country. >> i was speaking with a former head of ice yesterday on the show, and he noted that inside one of the first executive orders was a directive to house immigrants in u.s. military bases, essentially to create deportation camps on those military bases. is that an appropriate use of military space? >> what the law says is that the military can provide ancillary support to domestic law enforcement. there is some gray area about whether providing housing and other sort of infrastructure to support immigration and authorities in a deportation campaign is appropriate. and i think that's going to be a case by case basis. what is very clear, though, is that deputizing military officers, including the national guard and having them go door to

door, having them stop people for immigration authorities is illegal. and no governor should be complying with that. >> congressman, we're looking at potentially also conditioning disaster aid. we were talking about that earlier as part of kind of some of these overall things that are moving through congress right now. and i'm interested to know if you think that that could actually pass muster in the house. obviously, republicans have this very narrow majority, but this is a world where they may need democratic votes. do you think there would be democratic votes for a bill that conditioned disaster aid to california? >> i'm not going to negotiate that one, because it's going to be tied into so many other issues. my sense is ultimately, california disaster aid gets intertwined in the larger issues at play right now. taxes, tariffs, energy, immigration, the debt limit, and not all of it is going to be resolved into every single one of them is resolved. as hakeem jeffries likes to say. and so it's going to be one

issue on the table. >> all right, congressman jake, you're going to stick around. join our panel at the top of the show. thanks for being here. all right. coming up next here on cnn this morning teaming up tech titans at the white house to unveil major investments for a.i. infrastructure. plus, a justice department shakeup. donald trump wastes no time pushing top prosecutors to the sidelines. his first steps to overhaul the agency. he's repeatedly criticized. >> this is all weaponization of doj and fbi. they raided my house in violation of a thing called the fourth amendment. not allowed to do that. they raided my house in florida. mar-a-lago no notice, no nothing. they raided it. i can't believe it this part changed my life. >> superman is now. >> nominated for a bafta award for best documentary. >> chris wanted. >> to change the world. >> people are literally. >> walking because of him. >> superman the christopher reeve story february. >> 2nd. >> on cnn. >> perfect for valentine's love
