>> hello. >> i'm dana bash in washington. >> where the state. >> of our union. >> is thinking. >> what a year this week has been. we are seven days into donald trump's second. >> term and. >> already knee deep. >> in paperwork and. promises designed. >> to make the. >> america. >> of today. feel rapidly, dramatically different. let's catch. >> you up. two more of president trump's cabinet. >> nominees were. >> confirmed this weekend. >> as trump. >> moves to. >> transform the government. agencies. he wants to. carry out his sweeping plans. >> last night, he sent. more signals. >> about how he. >> will change. >> america's role in the world. saying he'll pressure arab countries to take more palestinian refugees and, quote. clean out the gaza strip. and for every move by the president this week on immigration, the federal workforce, the environment, there were parallel attempts at settling scores or removing political roadblocks. last night. donald trump. defended his decision to abruptly fire inspectors general

from more than a dozen federal agencies by claiming that such a purge is common i'm going to talk about that with. and much more with republican senator lindsey graham, chairman of the budget committee, longtime member of the judiciary committee and a key trump ally. nice to see you in person. thank you for being here. let's start with that claim. it's not common, as you know, to to do what he did with those inspectors general. the law says that 30 days before a president fires an inspector general, which of course is an internal watchdog for government agencies, he must tell congress. tell you why that didn't happen. yeah, he broke the law. >> yeah, i think, you know. yeah, he should have done that. but the question is, is it okay for him to put people in place that he thinks can carry out his agenda? yeah, he won the election. what do you expect him to do? just leave everybody in place in washington before he got elected. this makes perfect sense to me. get new people. he feels like the government hasn't worked very well for the

american people. these watchdog folks did a pretty lousy job. and he wants some new eyes on washington. and that makes sense to me, even. >> and especially the. i mean, it's one thing for a sort of run of the mill political nominee that happens democrat, republican. that is the prerogative of the president. and it is on the inspector general also. but the inspector general, as i said, i mean, this is supposed to be the person who keeps watch on things. >> well. >> you know, who is the keep watch on what? i mean, he he wants to put people in place, including inspector generals that can implement his agenda. juan pete hegseth, a lot of people believe on my side and the public in general, in the last four years, the military was too weak and too woke. and pete's going to fix that. that's why they that's why he picked pete. he thought the military was too weak, too woke. and pete is going to fix it. that's why he chose pete. so that's just the way it goes when you win an election. >> okay, i want to move on to the pardons.

>> yeah. >> president trump pardoned or commuted hundreds of people convicted of assaulting police in the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol. put a lot of lives in dang including yours. i want you to just look at one example. i think this is important. michael fanone, he is was a dc police officer. he was off that day, but he came in because he knew the officers needed help to protect the u.s. capitol, to protect you and your colleagues. he was tased. he was beaten to the point he had a heart attack. he was threatened with being shot with his own gun. he had to scream back at them, i have kids now. the man who tased him, who was convicted of doing that, daniel rodriguez. he was sentenced in 2023 to 12 years in prison. on monday, he was among those who got a full pardon. are you okay with that? >> no. i've always said that. i think when you pardon people who attack police officers, you're sending the wrong signal to the public at large. and it's not what you want to do to protect

cops. but he has that power. pardon? biden pardoned the guy that shot two fbi agents in south dakota. the fbi was all upset about that. he pardoned half his family when he said he wouldn't. president trump at least said, i'm going to do this. i don't like this. i don't like it on either side. and i think the public doesn't like it either. so if this continues, if this is the norm, there may be an effort to rein in the pardon power of the president as an institution. >> have you talked to the president about this? did you tell. him that you're opposed to what he did? >> we've had this debate. you know, i'm all in for him. i want him to win. i think pardoning people who beat up cops, pardoning the people who killed two fbi agents like biden did, trying to raise bail for rioters in minneapolis, like kamala harris did, all send the wrong signal. and so that's where i'm at. but he did it. biden did it. and i think most americans don't like it. >> okay. i mean, i get what you're saying about the fbi agents. and he did that on his

last day. but this is this is different. this is this is this is. >> a family of the fbi agents. this is. >> just. well, i want to ask you about the ramifications in your in your own words, because you have said that having a pardon of somebody who took the law into their own hands will make more, make violence more likely. so i do want to look forward on, on this question, which is if somebody was pardoned and you owned believes pardon. >> me, you own it. >> will you own it? and they believe that they can do what they want. if they do it in the president's name. isn't that encouraging? well, dangerous lawlessness. >> you know, when kamala harris wanted to go on. >> let's stay on donald trump. >> no, no. what happened? let's talk about the problem. the problem is she tried to raise money, called them freedom fighters who burned down minneapolis. they tried to burn down oakland courthouse. >> i'm asking you about about. >> this thing. i know you just want to talk about trump, but i

see it as a bigger problem. i mean, yes, i've said clearly i do not like it when president trump pardoned people who beat up cops. but i didn't like it when biden pardoned all of his family going out the door. i didn't like it when kamala harris tried to raise bail money for people who beat up cops and shot them in the head. i don't like any of this. >> what? you said he's going to own it. if. >> yeah, all of them are going to own. >> it, because there are people who testified, law enforcement, who testified in these trials, prosecutors who are worried for their safety. >> well, the public was told by trump what he would do, and he did it. so you can't say he lied to anybody. biden said he wasn't going to pardon his family. >> okay. >> whether you like trump or not, he said, this is what. >> he says. he wants to invite these some of these pardoned individuals to the white house. do you think he should do that? >> i'll leave that up to him. but my i've been as clear as i can about what i think. >> one last, one last question on this stewart rhodes of the oath keepers militia. he had an 18 year sentence on seditious

conspiracy conviction, conviction that was commuted. he was at president trump's speech last night in las vegas. >> i don't i don't think there's a restriction on him being there. i don't like this. you know, we had a guy that was on death row that biden gave a life sentence that walked into a bank and shot two ladies in south carolina in cold blood, and he started complaining about the conditions of confinement. i don't like any of this. i think most americans would like the president to use the pardon power in a way to to send the right signals, not the wrong signal. >> you might have to re revisit it if he does more of this. >> he has the authority to do it. now. should we as a nation, given what's happened with all these folks? look at it. if you got an idea about how to rein in the pardon power of the president, that goes too far. give me a call. >> president trump revoked the security detail of the former secretary of state serving under him, mike pompeo, his former national security advisor, john

bolton. he has both of them were facing security threats because they were in charge of an operation to take out soleimani in in iran, an operation carried out under trump. >> right. >> should trump have revoked that security? >> you know, i talked to senator cotton about this. he's the chairman of the intel committee. he's a very, very good man. he said he had a briefing and he asked the briefers if it were you or your family, would you think you deserve a detail? and they said, yes. you know, whether you like john bolton or not, that's not the question for me, is that you don't want to leave people hanging. there's no doubt in my mind the iranians have been out to kill president trump. i've been briefed about it. i know he's been briefed about it. i'm glad he has protection. whether you like bolton or anybody else, we need to make sure that if you serve in our government and you take on foreign power at the request of the administration, that we do not leave. >> you hanging, they should get the security back. >> yeah, i think i think we need to the senate needs to look at what happened and sit down and figure out what's the best way

forward. everybody doesn't deserve a detail all their life. it needs to be as needed. but what senator cotton told me, the threats seem to be real against these individuals, and i don't want to leave them hanging. it makes it hard to recruit people in the future. and, you know, if something happened to these people and, you know, president trump needs to think about, you know, getting people to serve in the future, owning that decision. >> was just to put a finer point on it. it was a mistake. >> yeah. if the if the intel is what senator cotton said, i think we should keep the details. >> we've been talking about some issues that donald trump again, you said it's his prerogative. he's done a lot of things with the stroke of a pen. the the issue that voters said that they were most interested in him doing is dealing with the crisis of affordability. right. and we have not seen any substantial action on that. people are now paying $7 for a dozen eggs.

it's a record level, 37% higher than a year ago. are his. priorities in the right place? >> i was pretty involved in the last campaign. for every time he talked about eggs, he talked about illegal immigration a thousand times. i think he's trying to fulfill his promise to regain control of an out-of-control illegal immigration system. we need more money for tom homan. i'm for deporting illegal immigrants here who are criminals. most people are. the public is with him. but if you don't get new money into the system, tom homan can't do his job. we need more bed space. we need to finish the wall. but i think the signature issue for donald trump was to get a handle on illegal immigration, and he's off to a good start. we just need to help him in congress. >> so immigration certainly was. he talked about that nonstop. you're absolutely right. >> and he won. >> in in in a new york times poll after he was inaugurated, 29% of the people who say they supported him say it was to deal with the economy and inflation.

>> i think the majority. >> of the way. >> higher in that poll say they're they support deporting everybody who came to the country legally. in the four years of biden, like 70%, almost 80% support, support deporting illegal immigrants who have committed a crime. the public is with him on this. and if you don't get this by now, you missed the entire campaign. but i'll leave that up to people here in washington. can you just i get it? can you understand what he's trying to do? >> senator, can you elaborate on what you were saying about more money? >> yeah, i think this whole debate in the republican party, do you need one bill or two right now? tom homan needs more money to hire ice agents. he needs more money to fi sce. he doesn't have the tools necessary to carry out this plan that president trump gave him. until congress appropriates more money. so to my republican colleagues, we've hit a wall here. we're not building a wall. we've hit a wall. we need to appropriate money to tom homan so he can do what president trump promised. and if we delay, the taxes expire in december, we've got plenty of time to

deal with that. i worry that we're going to own another attack on our country. i worry that we're delaying this plan that president trump ran on. if the congress doesn't give his administration tom homan the money to do the plan that he promised that president trump promised, we need to come together quickly on this, in my view. >> i want to ask about the middle east. yeah. hamas on saturday handed over for female israeli hostages. they've been captive in gaza for 15 months. israel released 200 palestinian prisoners. you've been very involved in this issue, senator, last night, when talking about palestinians who live in gaza, president trump said he wants to, quote, clean that whole thing out. what does that mean? >> you know, i really don't know. i do know this, that hamas needs to go. all these guys with masks on and guns, they're scum. and i hope they're dead men walking what they did to those four young ladies parade them in front of the palestinian community and put them on the

world stage was disgusting. my heart breaks for what they've gone through. so the idea hamas survives is a nonstarter for me. but the idea that all the palestinians are going to leave and go somewhere else, i don't see that to be overly practical. i don't know what he's talking about, but go talk to ms go talk to the uae. go talk to egypt. what is their plan for the palestinians? do they want them all to leave? you've been. >> going there. what is the plan? >> well, i think they want the palestinians to be able to live with dignity and security for israel. >> but you got to get rid of hamas first. >> you can't do this without getting rid of hamas. you're dead right? hamas is the problem for the world, not just the palestinians. but the question you ask is a good one. do the arab does the arab world support sending all the palestinians out of gaza? i'd be surprised if they did. >> i want to turn to a moment this weekend that really had a lot of people wondering what is really going on and what donald trump really supports when it comes to elections in europe.

elon musk made a special video appearance at a campaign event saturday for the far right alternative for germany party. he reiterated his support for them ahead of next month's elections. and then he told the crowd the following i think there's like, frankly, too much of a focus on the past guilt and we need to move beyond that. people who, you know, children who should not be guilty of the sins of their parents or even let alone their parents or their great grandparents, maybe even. and then he said, you have my full support. i think, you know, the trump administration is also supportive. two things. what do you think about him telling germany to move past? um. >> well, number one, you know, is elon musk, you know, a nazi? i don't think so. i don't believe that at all. bibi came to his aid, but what he said does bother me in this regard. tomorrow is the 80th anniversary of liberating auschwitz. i was just there a few months ago. you know, i don't expect the

germans to be wracked with collective guilt all their lives. but i do hope in german schools they educate the german children about what happened in germany. i hope in our schools that we'll educate people. the holocaust deniers are full of crap. i'm worried that we're losing 80 years on that. we're rewriting history here. the holocaust was one of the darkest moments in the history of mankind. there are 50 million jews on the planet because every generation seems to want to go after the jewish people, so they can't grow and survive. so the last thing i want, facing the 80th anniversary of the auschwitz liberation, the death camp, is to be equivocal. i want every german child, every american child, to know what happened and that it's true, not a lie. and we never do it again. >> before i let you go, tulsi gabbard you met with her? she's going to have a hearing to be the director of national

intelligence this coming week. are you going to support her? >> we'll see how she does. i've known her on the same reserve unit. richard burr, who's a good friend of mine, is going to introduce her, so that goes a long way, but. >> we'll see. is not a ringing endorsement, huh? we'll see. >> yeah, well, we'll see is an honest answer. i tend to support everybody i want to know about what happened in syria and edward snowden, but i generally support everybody. if richard has confidence in her burr, that will go a long way with me. but, you know, i do want to make sure that we understand assad is not a good guy. he's a bad guy, that iran is trying to kill all the jews, just like the nazis did. and they would come after us. they tried to kill our president. they're going to keep coming after us. they will destroy the state of israel. and i want people in that sphere to be clear eyed about the world in which we live in the largest state sponsor of terrorism is iran, and they're religious nazis. 80 years after the holocaust, there's a group of people trying to get a nuclear weapon to kill all the jews. they cannot be allowed to do so. >> senator lindsey graham, thank you so much for coming in this morning. thank you. appreciate

it. and ice agents in cities coast to coast. the source says that what the country will see starting this week is them going in more aggressively. my next guest, illinois governor j.b. pritzker, tells us that democrats are planning to. see what these ice agents are doing and deal with them head on. we'll talk to him after a break. stay with us. >> kobe believed in himself. >> at the youngest possible age. >> it's one. >> of the most remarkable. >> stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just a basketball player. >> a special encore presentation of kobe tonight at ten on cnn. >> at fisher investments. we may look like other money managers, but we're different. >> you can't be that different. >> we are. we have a team of specialists, not only in investing, but also in financial and estate planning and more. >> your clients rely on. >> you for.

>> all that. >> yes. and as a fiduciary. we always put their interests first. >> but you still. >> sell. >> commission based. >> products, right? >> no. >> we have a simple management fee structured so we do better when our clients do better. >> we're more different than i thought. >> at fisher investments, we're clearly different. >> 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. >> ever feel like a spectator in your own life with chronic migraine? 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more? botox prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. in a survey, 91% of users wish they'd started sooner. so why wait? talk to your doctor. >> botox effects may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away as trouble swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition.

those with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. side effects may include allergic reactions like rash, breathing problems, dizziness, neck and injection site pain and headache. don't receive botox if there's a skin infection. tell your doctor your medical history. muscle or nerve conditions like als, myasthenia gravis or lambert-eaton syndrome, and medicines like botulinum toxins, which may increase the risk of serious side effects. >> chronic migraine may still keep you from being there. ask your doctor about botox today. learn how abbvie can help you save. >> after last month's massive solar flare added a 25th. >> hour to. >> the day. >> businesses are wondering what should we do? >> i'm thinking a company. >> wide power. >> nap. >> anything can. >> change the world of work. from hr to payroll. >> adp designs. >> for the next anything for generations, this. >> ally to the north has been. >> by your side. ontario, canada a. partner connected by shared history, shared. >> values. >> and a shared vision.

he's there to do a ride along with dhs agents as they conduct immigration operations. it comes as the trump administration is planning raids in more than two dozen u.s. cities, beginning in chicago. here with me now is illinois governor j.b. pritzker. thank you so much for being here, sir. let's start with the discussion about those raids. we don't. i know that you don't necessarily get a lot of information from the federal agents and the federal governments that are directing them, but how are you preparing, particularly if they do target schools, churches and small businesses as they are now allowed to do? >> well, let me start by being clear that when we're talking about violent criminals who have been convicted and who are undocumented, we don't want them in our state. we want them out of the country. we hope they do get deported. and if that's who they're picking up, we're all for it. they show up with a warrant, and we're going to hand over people who are in our prisons or in our jails who fit that description. now, what

they're also doing, though, and it's quite disturbing, is they're going after people who are law abiding, who are holding down jobs, who have families here who may have been here for a decade or two decades. and they're often our neighbors and our friends. and why are we going after them? these are not people who are causing problems in our country. and what we need is a path to citizenship for them. we need to secure our border. we need to get rid of the violent criminals, but we also need to protect people, at least the residents of illinois and all across the nation who are just doing what we hope that immigrants will do. >> there was a memo that came from the trump justice department this week, and it warned that, quote, federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration related commands and requests. the u.s. attorneys offices and litigating components of the department of justice shall investigate incidents involving any such misconduct for potential

prosecution. are you concerned that illinois state or local officials, up to and including maybe yourself, could face prosecution if you don't comply with federal immigration authorities? obviously, you say you agree on people who are in the united states, in chicago and elsewhere illegally who are criminals. but what about those who are, as you say, citizens of of the community? >> dana, we're going to follow the law in illinois and federal law, too. we expect them to do the same. i'm very afraid that they will not follow the law. the reason they put a memo out like that is that that's already the law. you know, we everybody we have to follow federal law. we have to follow state law. i. otherwise, we're potentially subject to prosecution. of course, we all know that. they're just putting that out because they want to threaten everybody. they want people to step back and let them do whatever they want to do. the federal officials and the reality is that they can't break

the law. you heard them talk about something unconstitutional this year. the the removal of birthright citizenship. we're going to stand in the way of an unconstitutional order. we'll also stand in the way of them breaking the law in illinois if they're not following federal law. now, we know that if they show up with warrants to take people away, that we're going to hand them over. there are people who have deportation orders and have had for many years, even during the prior trump administration, who need to be picked up and who are violent criminals and again, should be deported. so we're going to do what we need to do. but we also have a law on the books in illinois that says that our local law enforcement will stand up for those law abiding, undocumented people in our state who are doing the right thing. and we're not going to help federal officials just drag them away because somebody pointed at them and said, oh, that person's brown, or that person's not from here. check it out. maybe they're undocumented. >> so, governor, that's exactly

what i was getting at. you have a law on the books in your state that that requires maybe local law enforcement to protect people, that the federal law enforcement agents are coming in to try to deport. i mean, that sounds like a recipe for a big problem no, what it requires is that our local officials will not coordinate with federal officials on the arrest of people who don't when they don't have a warrant associated with them. >> look, again, we want to get violent criminals off the street just like everybody else does, and we're going to coordinate on that. and if someone's breaking the law and they're in the process of breaking the law, or we know they've broken the law, we want help from federal officials to arrest them. but our local officials are not just going to say, well, that person seems like they're undocumented. so we're going to hand them over to you and you can figure it out. >> i want to move on to other issues, and there are a lot of

them that donald trump has on the table and has has on his i perspective on how you and other democrats are approaching him this time around, particularly when he's doing so many things that you disagree with. you're obviously the governor of a major blue state. have you thought about your approach, how you're going to respond to all of this? will you pick and choose your battles? >> well, it's clear what we need to be doing is standing up for the values of the vast majority of american people. and what democrats stand for, right? we want to raise the minimum wage. they don't. they want to take away health care from a million people in my state. we think that we ought to make health care more affordable and more available to people. we want to lower costs for people. we eliminated the grocery tax in my state so that it would be less expensive for people to go buy their groceries. but what's donald trump doing? he's raising

tariffs on goods from canada and mexico that's going to raise prices for people. so we need to make sure that we're communicating properly. i think that's one of the big challenges that we had in this last election. our message wasn't right. it's not that our policies aren't right. but the republicans did a great job that sometimes don't matter to most of the public. i think fa' them. >> that's what democrats want to do. what about what donald trump is doing? what's your approach going to be? i mean, we just talked about immigration for a while. i mean, that's a real life issue that you're dealing with as governor. and there are so many more like that. >> yeah, well, we've got to win elections. let me be clear. you can't win on the issues if you don't win the elections. now, in my state, we even though there was a shift and and although the same number of people voted for donald trump in this last election, fewer people showed up

to vote for kamala harris. but at local elections and state elections in illinois, we won. we won. and i think that happened all over america. if you look even at the battleground states, democrats did reasonably well at the local level. it was at the federal level where we lost ground. although i must say, we're on the verge of taking back the house of representatives. and i think in 2026, we need to go do that again. we've got to win elections in order to win for the american people and working families across the country. >> i want to ask you about an election that's actually going to happen in germany, because elon musk addressed a rally for a far right political party there this weekend, and he told them that they had his support and trump's support and that germans should focus less on past guilt. i also want to ask you about a post that he put up on on his social media platform, a series of quote, unquote jokes using the names of nazi leaders

in response to the backlash after he made what appeared to be to many people to be a nazi salute at a rally. musk denies that. that's something that he did. but i wonder what your response is to all of this. >> look at a moment when anti-semitism is at an all time high in my lifetime, we have a very prominent figure who is very closely associated with the president standing up at a presidential rally and giving two nazi salutes in a row. now, if he didn't mean it, he should apologize. but he knows very well what those things mean. and even again, if he didn't mean them afterward, you could say, and he should. i didn't mean that that wasn't the symbol i was trying to show. now, here's what i think about it. neo-nazis across the united states celebrated when he did that. that should be some indication to everybody about why this is

so important for him to call out. now, what does he followed up with? jokes about nazis? jokes like it's okay, and then showing up in a, you know, video presentation to the far right folks who are the most anti-semitic in german politics and, you know, and standing up for them and telling them, i'm for you. that's bad for the united states. it's bad for jews across the world. it's bad for germany. and president trump ought to be calling that out. if he doesn't agree with elon musk, if he doesn't agree with two signals at his own rally and backing a party that backs nazis, then he ought to say so why isn't donald trump speaking out? >> last question are you going to run for president in 2028? >> i appreciate that question, but and i'm flattered by it. but i got to tell you, we have a lot to accomplish in the state of illinois. so i'm looking forward to that. and just deciding whether or not i'm

going to run for reelection here. >> okay, i didn't hear a no. there. >> well, again, i appreciate it. i think the world will change. we'll see what happens. we've got to beat back these terrible policies that donald trump is putting in place. >> governor jb pritzker of the great state of illinois, thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. >> and donald trump, as we have been saying, you did a lot of things this first week. but will anything he did add up to making your life less expensive? our panel will weigh in on that and much more after a break. >> superman the christopher reeve story next sunday at eight on cnn. >> subway has got a new meal of. >> the day. >> with chips and a drink for just 6.99. or if you're big, hungry, make it a foot long for only $3 more. huh? big. hungry? is that a thing? that should be a thing. find your fresh with the all new 6.99 meal of the day at subway. >> disability is not a dirty word. >> it takes.

we got rid of the woke crap. i pardoned hundreds of political prisoners. >> welcome back to state of the union. my panel is here. you just heard some of what donald trump was talking about. the president giving a list at his rally in las vegas last night. i mean, we're trying to figure out the best way to capture all of this. we've done a lot of the scrolling. this is just you can see how thick it is day one, day one of the executive orders. congressman, uh, carter, thank you so much for being here with the panel from california. what's your big picture takeaway from this week? >> well. >> i think for an. >> administration that spent the entire campaign talking about costs right. >> off the bat, they did the exact opposite. >> one of those executive. >> orders in your hand lifted. >> the $2. >> cap on generic. medications for. >> seniors, which is going to raise prescription drug prices. they banned offshore wind farms, which is going to raise electricity prices. the first week is often a template for the next four years. and if we have

another 207 weeks of this, people are going to feel more exhausted and more frustrated than they did over the last couple of years. >> banning offshore. >> wind farms. >> is but. >> one tiny piece of the massive. >> number of. >> things president trump did in that. pile on energy. that are. going to ultimately, i think, bring costs down. this notion that presidents should come into office. >> on day one. >> and sign a bunch of executive orders saying, i declare as. king that eggs shall. >> be $2. >> a. >> dozen is kind of ridiculous. >> and i'm glad that president trump didn't do that. >> i think. >> the things that you're. >> seeing. >> in terms of making energy less expensive, making the federal. >> government work. >> better. >> ultimately, if they don't bring. >> prices down. >> trump will face political backlash. >> for it. but i think this idea. >> that on day. >> one, a president is supposed to sign a bunch of executive orders. >> when barack. >> obama never really did, george w bush never really did trump's first term, never really did. it's an unusual way to go about policy making, and i think these expectations. >> are a little wild, right? it's very unusual to do this many. i mean, he by far did more

executive orders than anyone else in the past has. but because he did them, it's interesting that very little focused on the short term on the economy. i think it's also to be fair because it's really hard to do that. yeah. well, let's be clear though. he said he was going to do lots of things on day one. i mean, if you kept a list every day, he's at an hour. one i'm doing this an hour two so he did what he said he was going to do what we don't know to what the congressman was saying. what impact is that really going to have on people's lives? it's not that he was supposed to decree the price of eggs should be lower. it's that the american people are saying, okay, what's in it for us? great that you've got 11 billionaires in your cabinet, and i can see how many of the decisions they're going to make are going to be great for the profits of the companies they come from or the industries. but how is that really going to lower the cost of gas, groceries. and rent? you know, he did. one of the things he did was he said he told every agency, you know, we're going to lower costs, figure out how to lower cost. well, what does

that mean? and and when, when do we get to know about whether or not that actually is working. and again, the last thing i'll say, he inherited a strong economy from joe biden. so if we see inflation going higher, unemployment going higher, then we know he's failing. >> what he. >> inherited is a joe biden administration and. >> americans fundamentally. >> reject it. and we know that they think joe biden had the country. >> on the wrong track. >> you know. >> joe biden. >> did 11 executive orders on immigration in his first three months. this is not uncommon. donald trump's undoing, most of those because there's widespread support even among democrats. for him to do that, i want to go back to what congressman carter said, though, about about prices number two, cost of input of cost is electricity. electricity we've had in the last three years, we've had a greater rise of electricity prices than any in the last 33 years. donald trump's going to fix that. he declared a national energy emergency this week. i think he's doing exactly what he told voters he was going to do. not all of it's going to be wildly popular, but a lot of it's popular even among democrats. >> in the huge deluge of of news

and information and changes. i don't want to lose sight of a trip that the president took late on friday across the country to your home state of california. first of all, he was greeted, you see there by the democratic governor, who the two of them have sparred a lot. newsom just kind of showed up and said that he wants to work together with the president, and then later the president sat with, among other people, karen bass, the mayor of los angeles. i want you to listen to some of their exchange. >> the number one thing. >> that we. >> are going to do immediately and you will see this happen, is to clear out the debris. and, you know, we're concerned right now over the weekend because of the potential rain, but we are going to move as fast as we can. but we want you to be safe, and we want you to be back in your homes immediately. >> you have emergency powers just like i do, and i'm exercising my emergency powers. you have to exercise them. also.

>> i did exercise them. >> because i looked. i mean, you have a very. >> powerful emergency power and you can do everything within 24 hours. >> yes. and if individuals want to clear out their property, they can. >> that's a long time, a week. i'll be honest to me, everyone standing in front of their house, they want to go to work and they're not allowed to do. >> it. >> this is it's amazing. not many people in the national political stage can do what he did and command the moment like that. managing disasters is about taking authority and taking command and moving fast. and donald trump has outlined exactly what's wrong with the bureaucracy and what's wrong with karen bass approach. i thought it was a masterstroke. >> and what about her? i mean, she kind of gave as good as she got there. >> look, i've had wildfire victims in my district. i've met with families who have lost everything. priceless family heirlooms, their entire sense of identity. i think these wildfire victims feel like political pawns. they have been failed by both california and washington. it's clear what we need to do to get these wildfires under control. we need more firefighters, better technology,

less red tape. that's not what we're getting. there needs to be a sense of urgency after these l.a. fires, just like there was last year after maui. right now, unfortunately, we're just seeing finger pointing. >> and what about that sort of leadership of it all? the fact that he went to north carolina and then went to california as well, and did meet with democratic leaders of that very blue state. >> yes, it's great that he did. i'm so glad that he did, because it's important. >> when it. >> comes to something like a disaster for. >> it not to. >> be partisan. >> now, just because something is not partisan doesn't mean that people have to set aside. >> all of their. >> ideological views or their beliefs about what makes government work or not. it's perfectly fair. >> for. >> republicans to say, we think democrats haven't been running the show very well, in the same way that when tragedy strikes in a red state, democrats might say, hey, maybe you should have had different policies. this would have turned out differently. so we don't have to set aside our differences on what we think makes government function well. but i think showing up and expressing leadership is really important, and i'm glad that's what we saw. >> but i think what's going to be more important than anything is having grown up in

california, how california rebuilds, you know, joe biden made a lot of really important promises to be there. donald trump needs to keep those promises not just for the politics of it, but because those are american citizens who are relying on the state of california and the federal government to be there to help them rebuild, but also to help them rebuild. we know that some of the challenges were infrastructure in the palisades. so we've got to build our infrastructure, not to what life was like 50 years ago, but to the climate realities that we're living in right now. okay, everybody stick around. after a break, we're going to find out what everybody here is watching for in president trump's second week. stay with. >> it's time to feed the dogs real food in the right amount. a healthy weight can help dogs live a longer, happier life. the farmer's dog makes. >> weight management easy. >> with fresh food. pre-portioned for your dog's needs. it's an idea whose time. >> has. >> come 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 take a look at what do you think? >> so here guys, we're. >> going to rip everything down to the studs. >> from design and. >> products to removal and installation. re-bath is with you through. >> every step of your remodel. >> call or visit re-bath dot com. >> for your free. >> in-home design consultation. >> hannah kliger brandi lemons. >> mangione. >> to all those. >> who never give a second thought. >> to being the first. >> ones in, thank you. servpro. >> proud supporter of our nation's first responders. >> you make good choices. it's a trait

that. >> runs deep. >> like to step into big shoes. and still walk. >> on your own. >> path. >> with ambition like that, you need someone. >> who elevates. >> advice to a craft. at ubs, we match your vision with insight and expertise to shape a unique outcome for you. my advice is our craft. >> did you take your vitamin today? >> that's my job. >> nature made. >> made with quality ingredients. made to. >> care for you every. day from

>> within that. >> same week. >> now i feel so much more confident in expressing myself, and that's been a great gift. >> welcome back. >> have i got news for you

returns february 15th on cnn. >> so what are we watching? what are we watching? going into president trump's second week? my panel is back. i'll start with the only person here who's got the pin and it's got a vote. what are you watching for? >> i think a focus on issues that voters actually care about less renaming mountains in alaska or starting fights with denmark, settling political grudges. but let's actually get to the meat of what needs to happen to lower the price of rent, to lower the price of gas. that's not what we saw last week. let's make the week two different. >> i'm going to be watching how the continuation of these confirmation hearings begins to go. >> we saw. >> we now have secretary of defense pete hegseth confirmed on a very narrow vote that involved getting the vice president. >> to come. down to the capitol. >> but that's you know, his confirmation does not mean that all of trump's picks are necessarily safe. you're going to have still folks like rfk, still folks like tulsi gabbard, where there are some pieces of pushback or at least questions that republicans say they want answered. so that's what i'm keeping my eye. >> i mean, senator graham said, we'll see. when i asked about

tulsi gabbard. so part of the strategy, obviously, is the barrage. some of this is project 2025. some of this is. meant to just exhaust us. but what i'm looking for is, as things continue to shake out what's really happening. so prescription drug prices are going to go back up, because that was one of the things that he repealed. we know that cancer drug trials have been halted while they've halted some functioning at the nih. so where is the rubber meets the road and how is that impacting american people? is it increasing their costs? is it making their lives harder? is it putting their health in danger? is it putting their lives in danger? is it endangering our national security? i think the more we go through this and really sift out the sort of the bluster from where the rubber meets the road. >> i'm looking to see if democrats wake up this week. they've been in denial since november that they lost and they've been in denial. the fact that most rank and file democrats supported a lot of what donald trump is doing on immigration. this is going to be a big week for immigration. next week is going to be a big week for immigration. let's see if

democrats wake up and agree to give the donald trump administration the tools they need to enforce the border. >> are you awake? >> i'm awake. i'm ready. >> let's get to work. you got your answer. >> there's one here. >> there's one. we got a lot. >> more, guys. thank you so much. we'll be right back. >> a special encore presentation of kobe the making. >> of a legend tonight at ten on 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. >> beef bourguignon bold choice. but they're here in ten and you're not ready. that eyeshadow. so fire know what else is fire. your kitchen seriously fire. >> get into tech products. help protect you from you. >> patients who have sensitive teeth but also want whiter teeth. they have to make a choice one versus the other. sensodyne clinical white
