it is 5 a.m. here on the east coast. here's a live look at capitol hill here in washington, d.c., where it will be a very busy week for trump's nominees. good morning everyone. i'm kayla tausche in for kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us today. we're just now a little over a week into the second trump presidency. and shock waves continue to jolt the federal government. the latest move the president taking aim at career federal prosecutors involved in the now dismissed criminal cases against him. acting attorney general james mchenry, writing this letter to more than a dozen fired prosecutors, which reads in part, quote, the proper functioning of government critically depends on the trust. superior officials place in their subordinates. given your significant role in prosecuting the president, i do not believe that the leadership of the department can trust you to assist in implementing the president's agenda faithfully, end quote. the trump administration is also going a step further, opening an investigation into the prosecutions of the now pardoned january 6th capitol rioters.

sources tell cnn an internal memo from the interim u.s. attorney in d.c. is now probing all quote, files, documents, notes, emails and other information related to the dismissed or pardoned cases for president trump, the actions against the doj were a constant topic of his rallies on the campaign trail. >> witch hunt. witch hunt. scam. >> hoax. >> it's called election. >> interference, and they're doing the best they can with it. the baseless indictment of me by the biden administration's weaponized department of justice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country. and in the end, they're not after me. they're after you. and i just happen to be standing in their way. >> and donald trump's nominee to become attorney general to oversee all of this will soon face a confirmation vote in the senate. tomorrow, the senate judiciary committee is scheduled to vote on advancing pam bondi

nomination to the full senate. here's what she said about the investigations two years ago., and. >> the department of justice. the prosecutors will be prosecuted. the bad ones, the investigators will be investigated because the deep state last term for president trump, they were hiding in the shadows, but now they have a spotlight on them and they. >> can. >> all be investigated. and the house needs to be cleaned out. >> joining me now to talk about this is julia manchester, national political reporter for the hill. julia, it's good to see. >> you this morning. >> so as we just mentioned, pam bondi set to be have her nomination be voted on at the senate judiciary committee in just a couple of days. we heard what she said back in august 2023. but i want to play some sound from her committee hearing just a few weeks ago. here's what she said. then. take a listen. >> i believe that the justice department must be independent and must act independently.

politics will not play a part. i've demonstrated that my entire career as a prosecutor, as attorney general, and i will continue to do that if you confirm me as the 87th attorney general. >> so republicans essentially arguing that this is depoliticizing the department. what's your take? >> well. >> look, i don't think. >> this is any surprise necessarily. we've seen that this these actions sort of match up with what president trump was saying on the campaign trail. what pam bondi was saying just a few years ago in the clip from before. so it makes sense that trump is moving in this direction now. there's questions over the potential legality of it. you know, whether he is moving the justice department in a direction that is more political. but pam bondi, you know, it's interesting her nomination wasn't as under scrutiny as maybe a tulsi gabbard or kash patel or an rfk jr.. i am curious, as this comes to a committee vote, if there are going to be more questions and we see the nomination come under a bit more scrutiny. >> it was expected to be a party

line vote on her nomination anyway. do you have any reporting that suggests that perhaps there could be republicans who defect because of this? because the the reaction by republicans has not been universally supportive of this. >> it hasn't. no, but i think we'll find out probably more later today. i think there's been more questions about the tulsi gabbard, for example, or the kash patel rfk jr.. those are the more controversial nominees. but i think this new development certainly plays a role in sort of shaking things up ahead of the vote. >> and interesting that it comes before bondi would be installed at the department, essentially preceding her. meanwhile, the president, for his part, has said that success will be his best revenge, not vengeance for vengeance sake. and then there's other close allies of his, like former republican house speaker newt gingrich, who suggested that maybe this is where it ends for trump. here's what he said that would be. >> kind of like maybe there will be a little payback. that's that's just human. now, i think, however, that on

reflection, he will conclude that his destiny, the reason god saved him was not to go after joe biden in his old age. god saved him in pennsylvania by turning his head at the right moment so he could focus on america, not focus on revenge. and i think i think deep down he knows that. >> so gingrich seeming to suggest there that this will be the end of these types of presidential actions now that he's gotten it out of the way. do you agree with that? >> well. >> i don't know necessarily. i mean, we've seen trump just within the past few days. kayla takes. so many, you know, many moves to essentially clean house, whether it's getting rid of those inspector generals at a number of agencies without giving congress, congress notice, for example, you know, freezing u.s. aid. i mean, you know, there are different actions, but what we're seeing is trump essentially flooding the zone. i mean, it's hard for us in the media, really, to even keep up with it. i mean, he's very much, you know, throwing everything in the kitchen sink at the wall. and i think part of that and he's able to do it so quickly is because he knows how

washington works. he knows how the bureaucracies work, and he's using it to his advantage right now. so, you know, i don't necessarily know if it ends here. i think he'll likely continue to be taking these major actions to sort of craft an administration craft, an executive branch that fits him. >> and then there's the broader message that it sends to his new administration and alums of his prior administration. stephen collinson is a columnist here at cnn. he writes big picture pieces about, you know, about the 30,000 foot view of what's going on. and he writes this of trump's actions in a piece trump sets about his retribution agenda with relish. he writes the history of trump's first term when he, for instance, fired fbi chief james comey over the russia investigation and turned on attorney general jeff sessions for recusing himself, hints at motives for his recent actions. it seems clear, collinson writes, he's trying to intimidate career officials who might investigate him or block his expansive use of executive power. he's also sending a signal to aides in his new administration. they could end

up like pompeo or bolton if they turn on him. >> yeah, i mean, it's interesting you have these career officials who really understand how these departments work. they're not there for political reasons. they understand the ins and outs of how the state department works or the justice department, et cetera. they're there for a reason. but trump, like i said, very much trying to craft this administration to fit towards him, absolutely. sending a signal towards any other potential aides that may, you know, consider crossing him if they disagree with him on a line. we've seen donald trump do it before with people like pompeo, like john bolton, the list goes on very much sending a signal to them, though. >> juliet, we appreciate your time this morning. thank you for being here. jillian manchester from the hill. coming up on cnn this morning, elon musk dipping his toe into european politics, this time promoting a far right german politician and encouraging germans to move beyond, quote, past guilt. plus, new polling shows just how

back fast. >> that was trump speaking to congressional republicans at his golf resort, doral, on monday. meanwhile, ice has arrested 1100 people just on monday, and since the inauguration, there have been over 3500 arrests, generating fear in migrant communities. one woman in illinois says there was a knock on her door early sunday morning, and within minutes her father was arrested. >> they will open the door because they thought maybe one of us were in trouble or something, or something happened to us, he never did anything that would have been nice. i'm already heartbroken myself, and i can't really imagine little kids whose families are breaking apart because of this. >> i had a four year. >> old crying, fearing deportation. that is not making america great again. >> cnn senior political analyst ron brownstein joins us now. ron, you have a new article on cnn.com that i would encourage everyone to read.

it is as trump launches his enforcement offensive, immigrant advocates are mobilizing to you talk about what some of these nongovernmental organizations are doing to try to assist the migrant community and some of the advice that they're giving, those that might be targeted by these efforts. what are they saying yeah. >> you know, look, i mean, there's no question that there is more support for tougher measures on immigration, both at the border and in the interior than there were when there was when trump was first elected in 2017. a lot of discontent over the record that biden left behind has created that environment in which trump has more running room. but that doesn't mean the running room is infinite, right? in terms of the public acceptance of what can go on. and immigrant immigrant advocate groups really are trying to shine a light on what this means in practice, particularly for people who have been here a long time, who may have u.s. citizen kids. there are 4 million pew estimates, estimates, u.s. citizen kids

with at least one undocumented parent. and when i talk to the folks both in california and illinois went to a know your rights event that they held out here a couple of days ago, the number one question that immigrant advocate groups are getting from people who worry about being targets of what's coming, is what are the provisions for my kid? how can i ensure that there is somebody there to take care of my kids? and, you know, that may be. we saw a big pushback on family separation at the border in trump's first term. if we start seeing many instances of family separation from deportation in trump's second term, that may be kind of the achilles heel of this agenda. >> meanwhile, trump's new border czar, tom homan, has a warning for any of those advocacy groups who are in those efforts trying to shield immigrants from i.c.e. here's what he said on cnn on monday. take a listen. >> yeah. >> i've seen many. >> pamphlets from many of the ngos.

>> here's how you escape. >> ice from arresting you. >> here's what you need to do. >> they call. >> it know your rights. >> i call it how to escape arrest. >> are these groups ron worried about themselves being in the crosshairs of the administration? >> well, i think, you know, not only groups, but local officials. right. are being threatened by the administration. i mean, mr. homan has talked about prosecuting mayors who don't fully cooperate with ice. i feel at least in the ones that i talked to, they feel that they are very much within the law in counseling people on what they do and don't have to do with ice. i think the main effort that immigrant rights groups have at this point is not so much to encourage, you know, somehow help people evade if they are the targets, legitimate targets of enforcement. but really, to document, kayla, i mean, groups all over the country are setting up what they call rapid response teams, which include lawyers and community organizers, videographers in some cases, and a nationwide hotline that people can call into if they believe a raid is

happening. and then they try to mobilize people to kind of document what is what is occurring. but i think they do not see anything as off the table in terms of action by the administration against them, against local officials, and certainly against people who are here illegally. >> meanwhile, for these migrants, their personal experiences on the ground. ron, you have some anecdotes in your piece, one in particular that i want to read. one woman told you after one of these such organizing meetings that she saw three young latino women that morning running from a metro station yelling, they are coming! they are coming! in her words, you write, it turned out to be a false alarm, she said. but more telling was that no one had to ask the women who they were. talk about the general mood of these communities and how it is changing day to day life. there. >> yeah, i, you know, in the in the meeting that i attended last week and the people that i talked to, there was certainly an effort to project strength and confidence

and resistance. you know, the chants of si se puede, you know, from the obama obama era and the farm workers before that were all vigorous. there was big attendance at a candlelight vigil, but there was no question there was a lot of concern and a lot of apprehension about what exactly may be coming. and the questions people are asking are kind of bracingly specific. and, you know, immediate to daily life. it's, can i send my kids to school? can i go to the doctor? one question at the session was that i was at was, can i give my nationality? if a child is born at the hospital on a birth certificate? so there's no question that this is already radiating through these communities. and as i said, there is certainly more tolerance for tougher measures than there were than there was in the public when trump took office in 2017. that is a kind of a legacy of the biden administration, a backlash, a move to the right on this. but that doesn't mean there's infinite tolerance. and i think

given how aggressive the administration wants to be on this front, we are going to see in the months ahead what is the boundary that the public will accept, how far will they go? how many stories will they accept of u.s. citizen kids being separated from parents who are being deported? >> you say that the collective impact of everything that's been done so far is setting up the administration for a large scale confrontation. we will see how and whether that plays out, but i encourage everyone to read the piece. ron brownstein, we appreciate you joining us early this morning. thank you. >> thanks for having me. yeah, thanks for having me. >> now turning to this president donald trump signing four new executive orders that could reshape the u.s. military as we know it. his directives include banning transgender service members, cutting or gutting the military's diversity programs and reinstating with back pay members who were discharged for refusing to get a covid 19 vaccine. the president, claiming these actions will increase

military recruitment. >> i think we're going to have a lot of people that join. we were having a hard time recruiting people because they were looking at these people that they were supposed to be their leaders and they weren't happy. they didn't like people that fall going upstairs. >> the orders coming down on newly confirmed defense secretary pete hegseth first day leading the pentagon. >> this is. >> happening quickly. >> and as the. >> secretary of. >> defense, it's an honor. >> to salute. >> smartly. >> as i did. >> as a junior officer. >> and now. >> as the. >> secretary of defense. >> to ensure. >> these orders. >> are complied. >> with rapidly. >> and quickly. >> hegseth has been a vocal critic of diversity programs in the military, expressing his issue with them on a podcast ahead of his confirmation. >> the dumbest phrase on planet earth in the military is our. >> diversity is. >> our strength. >> the integration. >> of the military racially was a huge. >> success. >> but now we're pushing boundaries and. lots of different levels that are

different than that, because men and women are different. because being transgendered in the military. causes complications and differences. >> and joining me now to discuss axios political reporter brittany gibson. brittany, good morning. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> for having me. so we just heard what pete hegseth said just shortly after the election. and that seems to be a perspective that encouraged trump to nominate him for this role. it was a feature, not a bug of the system. and now we're seeing it come to fruition. >> absolutely. >> and i think it's another consistency of president trump's. >> campaign and campaign rhetoric. >> the rhetoric of his advisors. >> caring already. >> into the official administration business. he talked. >> about this. >> regularly on the. >> campaign trail. as did. >> stephen miller, one of his top advisers, now deputy chief of staff. a war against. >> you know. >> dei programs broadly. and i think. that's extended, as you just mentioned, to the covid 19 vaccine and backlash to that during the last administration. and then extends to women and

transgender people serving in the military. >> as far as the executive orders go, we just heard hegseth saying, you know how quick the pentagon got off to this start with these executive orders, which is to a certain extent true, but it also these orders are reflect reflection of the fact that the heritage foundation project 2025, america first policy institute has essentially, for the last four years, been working on a slate of actions to to release when the floodgates open, as they have in the last week. and i'm wondering if you think we'll see a relative slowdown in some of these policies, or whether we'll see this ramping up? >> i think it's. >> yes and no. you're absolutely right that this trump administration is coming in with their briefcases full, so to speak, from think tanks that you mentioned from his own advisers. i think where they'll slow down is where they, you know, hit walls in outside of their sphere of control. so if you look at, you know, border czar tom homan

talking about ice and ramping up detentions, there are only so many detention beds. you look at trade policy and tariffs. well, what's going to happen when countries say, well, we're going to accept those tariffs and impose reciprocal ones. and then with die in the military or foreign aid, just the repercussions that are outside of their sphere of control, i think might be where we see slowdowns, or at least pivots from what's been laid out in the four years where trump was not in office, where groups have had the opportunity to prepare, and all of these different policy areas. >> and there's a certain extent of deja vu as well. i mean, the the reinstatement of the transgender ban in the military was essentially just refreshing, something that trump had done in his first term. as you mentioned, tariffs and the possible reciprocal actions by other countries. many trump aides say that won't happen. but we've seen that movie before. and of course they did in the first term in a in a very steep way. and then there's the hiring freezes, the regulatory freezes, the freezes of federal

financial assistance and foreign aid. i'm curious whether you think those will be permanent, or whether you think that there's some possibility that we see some relaxation once his officials are able to get in there and study what's been happening. >> i think permanence might be determined by the midterms and the next elections. you know, how much can one administration or congress be a check on what this administration does? if democrats win back a chamber in two years? but you're absolutely right that this this policy, these policy areas, trump has been consistent. president trump now though, is prepared, as is he and his advisers have said, i believe he knows washington now. and you see it with his personnel picks as well. he and his team have vetted people who also agree with him, which i think is a bit of a shift from his first time coming into office, where his team was not as prepared during the transition period to staff

people who fully want to execute the president's vision. and i think that's a key difference this time that will make things more longer lasting. and because they won the popular vote, they feel, and the election broadly, of course, but they feel the mass support or popular support for this movement. if you start to see those shifts in the polls, maybe you'll start to see a pivot as well. >> well, it is true that the american people more broadly support the trump agenda 2.0 than they did back in 2017. we just heard ron brownstein talking about immigration and how there is more tolerance for some of these actions. and i just want to put some of the data behind it, because recent polling shows that there is very wide, like very widespread support for deporting undocumented immigrants, immigrants who have a violent criminal conviction, 83% favor deporting those immigrants who have those convictions, according to an ap poll from just before the inauguration. when it comes to immigrants who are legally in the country, who have legal status, but who also

have a violent criminal conviction, 69% favor deporting those individuals so slightly less. but there is still very high support for some of the actions that the administration is taking. >> definitely. and i think the key in those poll results in particular is the criminal record or violent record history. i think that's been broadly popular, and it's something that president trump has been speaking about a bit more specifically recently, saying that the main target are criminals, people with that kind of criminal background. but if you look at the executive orders in the execution of them so far have been more broad and not specifically been narrow to targeting criminals. it was border czar tom homan said in an interview this weekend that basically, if you were here illegally, regardless of any other factors, you're on the table. and when you pull that kind of approach to mass

deportation, it's a little bit less popular. >> and he said that there could be some collateral arrests as well. so certainly we're starting to see how this policy ends up affecting many of these communities. brittany, we appreciate your time and your expertise this morning. thank you. thank you. brittany gibson from axios. still ahead on cnn this morning, a new player in the a.i. wars is rattling the stock market. what a new chinese competitor to chatgpt could mean for the future of developing artificial intelligence. plus, a women's college coach is back on the court just a week after giving birth. we have that in our cnn sport update. >> a single touch can say a thousand words. it says, i see you, i feel you. i got you, and i'm never letting

>> a new chinese backed company is rattling the world of artificial intelligence, and the stock market. on monday, news of a new a.i. model from china called deepseek shook tech stocks in the u.s. when it was revealed to be far more advanced than originally believed. the tech rivals some current a.i. models from u.s. firms like openai, google and meta at a fraction of the price. stocks in a.i. computer chip maker nvidia fell nearly 17% on the news, taking the company's value by more than half $1 trillion, the most value a company has ever lost in a single day. but president trump seems to think the rise of the chinese startup might have some good news. >> this is very unusual when you hear a deepseek, when you hear somebody, somebody come up with something. we always have the ideas, we're always first. so i would say that's a positive. that could be very much a positive development. instead of spending billions and billions, you'll spend less and you'll

come up with hopefully the same. solution. >> joining me now to talk about all of this is sinead bogle, futurist, tech entrepreneur and founder of wei. sinead, good morning to you. what should people know about this new model and why was it so disruptive to u.s. companies pursuing this? >> yeah. >> this is certainly. >> a wake up call for u.s. companies. so what. >> people. >> should know is that. deepseek is a chinese company. >> that was able to launch a. model that is. >> as performant as some of the. >> leading a.i., u.s., a.i. >> companies, but. >> at 10% of the cost. so that is a very significant breakthrough, a massive. >> architectural breakthrough. >> and it's technically a win for innovation overall, because u.s. companies are going to look at this and be able to add what they're currently doing, add this chinese. >> method to what they're currently doing. >> many now are calling this a sputnik moment, but what truly is happening. here is deepseek. >> in this chinese.

>> a.i. company, they've reverse engineered what u.s. companies have already done. so it. >> is still a breakthrough. >> but u.s. companies are still at the frontier. what will be. >> the true. sputnik moment. >> is if a chinese a.i. company can build a model that does something u.s. models cannot. so right now they're equally as performant. but if china can have a breakthrough and do something that u.s. models cannot, that's an even bigger wake up call. >> they made it in less time with less advanced computer chips, and with less money spent to develop it. that's why marc andreessen, the billionaire venture capitalist, called it a sputnik moment. and sam altman, who is the leader of openai, which is the parent company of chatgpt. he posted a tweet suggesting that he is legit invigorated. it's it's legit invigorating to have a new competitor. and microsoft's ceo also posting on x, suggesting that having more players and making a.i. more efficient will ultimately be good for the technology. but how are these executives really feeling about

this behind the scenes? >> so probably mixed. >> i would agree. >> that for some, for a company like microsoft and even nvidia, this. >> is technically a. >> good thing because. >> the cheaper a.i. gets to build, the more people are going to use it. so the more efficient it becomes, the more use and the more dispersion we're going to see of artificial intelligence. >> if you're. >> in the hardware business or the cloud business. or you make chips such as nvidia or microsoft, you make hardware or you make applications, this is a good thing for you. openai. not so sure. so on the one hand, if they can add these innovations to how they build their a.i. systems, if they can do what they're doing leading the frontier, but do that even cheaper, this is going to be a win for them. if they cannot, this will certainly threaten openai's moat, because to date they have depended on this kind of capital intensive approach to a.i. well, deepseek has shown that that's not the only way, but this this moment. and this is something that many aren't really talking about, is

what this means for for a.i. safety. so yes, it's going to push innovation forward. but china has gone live to air with its most advanced a.i. open source model. not said a word about safety. the u.s. is now going to go head first into the a.i. race like we've never seen before, and we know there's no such thing as putting putting borders on this technology so. >> that washington has been pushing for these guardrails so far, they have not exactly materialized. and now that conversation is going to be front and center once again, we need to leave it there. but we really appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> it is time now for sports. tennessee women's basketball coach kim caldwell was back on the sideline last night, just a week after giving birth to her first child. that is a herculean task. coy wire coach is here with this morning's cnn sports update. good morning. coach. >> mind blown. mind blown. kayla. first year head coach. >> kim caldwell.
