time with us. all right. tonight trump gets the last laugh against the democrats. pathetic lawfare campaign. >> it was done to damage my reputation so that i'd lose the election. and obviously that didn't work. >> and joe biden is still as delusional as ever. >> i would have beaten trump, could have beaten trump, and i think that kamala could have beaten trump. >> yeah, that's funny for a friday night. plus, in moments, legendary actor and director mel gibson joins me live after his home was destroyed in the california wildfires. and it's another day of wreckage and ruin in southern california as the fires continue to decimate the areas around la. the infernos have covered more than 35,000 acres. that's more than twice the size of manhattan. now, the palisades fire has destroyed more than 20,000 acres. it's only 8% contained. north of that is the kenneth fire that spans over a thousand

acres. and then there's the eaton fire that's out in pasadena, and that's taken out more than 5000 structures and caused at least two deaths. and that's covered more than 13,000 acres. it's a disaster. >> it's armageddon. >> i've never seen anything like this in my life. >> we're so heartbroken for our neighbors. these were newlyweds. just bought this home six months ago. >> this is honestly probably the worst i've ever seen it. >> we just don't have enough personnel and whatnot to really, you know, contain this one. it's not a war zone. >> it's just a tragedy. >> these poor people. and for those whose homes did not burn down, they're at risk of being looted. more than 20 people have been arrested so far for doing the unthinkable. during a time of such horrific tragedy. now, things have gotten so bad that local officials have put a curfew in place. >> it's going to be in effect tonight at 6 p.m. we are not screwing around with this. we

don't want anyone taking advantage of our residents that have already been victimized. >> they don't put up with that nonsense in florida. and this was the headline in sunday's la times. la and ventura counties will see strong winds this week as major risks of fires. and now what is it? four or so days later, the fires that were predicted have killed 11 and destroyed more than 10,000 homes, businesses and schools. we've seen the video, the residents, their days. they're confused. many are furious with former officials asking why, given the wind warnings and the dry conditions that newsom and karen bass did not pre-position sufficient firefighting resources in the most at risk areas. now, obviously, the fire department budget cuts did not help, and the dimwitted di hires are way out of their

league. but even they can see how much the city's liberal leadership has failed. the fire department needs to be properly funded, and it's not. it's not at this point. >> did the city of los angeles fail you and your department and our city? >> it's my job to stand up as a chief and exactly say, justifiably, what the fire department needs to operate to meet the demands of the community. let's get us what we need so our firefighters can do their jobs. >> do they fail you? >> yes. well, i'm sure she's doing her best. and just when you think you understood the depths of this incompetence, we learned that yesterday. the la emergency management office mistakenly started sending out hundreds of thousands of immediate evacuation notices to residents. some of my friends were telling me about this at the time. residents, by the way, who were not themselves in any danger. this happened twice. >> i can't express enough how

sorry i am for this experience. as these alerts are being issued, they are not being activated or initiated by a person. >> don't look at me. the machine did it. now imagine the panic being awakened in the middle of the night with the buzzing on your phone, kept buzzing, going off, warning you to evacuate. so some of my friends in the encino area were in their pajamas, throwing whatever they could grab, throw it into their vehicles, only to get another message saying, oops, sorry. do any of these people reassure you? >> right now, our number one priority is to establish how we can work with our well in coordination with our federal and state partners, how we can. stop the messages that are going out right now that are not being initiated by a human

action. >> i can't believe i just heard that our our priority is to establish communication. you still can't master the messaging now. this led to infighting in the city government after the top emergency management officials urged citizens to check in online or to dial 211 if they indeed got these false evacuation alerts. okay, so it was on you to kind of contact them. well, this didn't go over so well. >> i think that's absolutely ridiculous. and i told kevin mcgowan that to tell people to go on a website when they may not have access to an internet is absolutely absurd. i'm not going to tell people, if you get the alert, go on and check. i'm not making any excuses. it's unacceptable. >> now, a colossal understatement. but yeah, unacceptable. the incompetence almost across the board here is breathtaking. but of course,

our incompetent president does what he always does. he claims that legitimate questions are just politically motivated. >> look, you know, i think you get in a bad rap. i mean, this is complicated stuff. you're going to have a lot of demagogues out there trying to take advantage of it. but you're doing the right thing now. >> the victims need immediate help, and we need a lot of answers, including to the question, why was the pacific palisades reservoir offline and empty when the firestorm initially exploded? apparently, we learned today that it was closed for repairs, leaving the area with a deficit of 117 million gallons of available water. it's such a calamity that even gavin newsom is now calling for an investigation into the water issue that a few days ago, we were told wasn't an issue. and despite there being zero proof that man made

carbon dioxide caused these fires, democrats toss out climate change, of course, to deflect responsibility. >> climate change is real, fundamentally altering not just here, but around the world, around the world, what's going on? and we've got to adjust to it. we've got to adjust to it. and we can we have the capacity to respond to it if we in fact exercise our good judgment, good judgment coming from a guy who thinks he just attended nixon's funeral, we're going to listen to him but still believe them when they tell you what their plans are. >> you heard him say, we've got to adjust to this climate change now. beware when the media also starts citing unnamed climate experts. >> i've been speaking to a lot of people this morning and they say basically this whole fire should be a wake up call of how

we construct our cities. right now, we're still under the misapprehension that the climate is the same as it was in the last century. it's not, they say, for this century, we need a radical rethink of how we structure our cities, how we build our homes. >> i fully expect that the same buffoons who got us into this mess will try to use this catastrophe to rezone certain residential neighborhoods, and then to burden rebuilding with more red tape. the red tape should be cut here, and you should streamline the permitting process. but that's not going to be done. but perhaps this reimagining cities will work to achieve this epic dream of theirs for more high density housing, putting single family homes out of reach for victims and everyone. but really the super rich all to protect us. it's for your own good from the ravages of climate change, but instead, californians and all americans

need to protect themselves from these incompetent woke officials, their radicalism and their ineptitude has devastated a great state, and now it's actually destroying lives. die, as elon musk said, can actually mean die. these people cannot rebuild the trust they lost. don't let them tell you how to rebuild your homes. joining us now, actor and academy award winning director mel gibson, an old friend, a malibu resident who tragically just lost his home to the palisades fire. mel, i was thinking about you when i saw this fire break out. i think i talked to raymond and i said, is mel okay? is his family okay? i instantly thought of you. he said he thought you were okay. and i'm glad you got out. i'm glad your family is safe, but tell us what it was like to be on rogan's podcast when i guess

you learned that your home had been lost. >> well, i didn't learn it was lost. >> i knew the neighborhood was on fire then i was in the path. >> so i was a little tense while i talked to joe. >> but he's a guy that can put you at your ease fairly well. so i was doing okay, and i knew that my family was safe and out of the way, out of harm's way. >> were you able to get possessions? of course. they're really immaterial when you have your family. but i've been to your house. it was an incredible home, beautiful home. but were you able to get anything out of your house? >> not much. a few necessary things. you know, my son just. i said, just go and grab this and this and this. and he grabbed like, three things and took off and then and you know, those are okay. >> stuff like passports and a couple of papers and stuff like that. but but by and large everything was just it looked when i got there the other day, i went up there yesterday, it

looked like dresden, you know, after the after bomber harris got through with it. yeah. >> there's nothing left for those of us watching this from afar. try to convey to us the feeling of seeing your home, your neighbor's homes and the community there at such a loss. >> i mean, it's tragic. it makes you really sad. i was actually, you know, there are neighbors i have that i was actually looking at them. i felt worse for them than i did for myself. you know, i look at it, it's a strange mixture of sadness and almost kind of an elation in a sense that i'm just i count my blessings, you know, no matter what, these are things and they may or may not be replaceable, but they're only things, and we're still here. and i just kind of look at it as almost in a weird kind

of way, a purification of. but of course, it's very sad. and there were many things, you know, gone in the blaze that, you know, i've thought about since i thought, oh, damn, you know, that's that's too bad. but, you know, works of art, photographs, rare books, you know, old books, some as old as, you know, 1600. you know, it's like crazy, irreplaceable and irreplaceable stuff. yeah. so it is what it is, i guess. i it was only a month ago that the flames threatened us, you know, 200m away on the other side. and of course, the wind shifted and it came in and whipped and got us from the other direction. so it was an interesting. >> yeah. you've heard the go on, you know, both you've heard a lot of people say a lot of things about these fires. obviously the winds were horrific, but they were predicted. i know, you know that last weekend, like friday,

saturday, sunday, they said this could be tragic with these winds, if any fire starts. sure. do you believe in what you know? so far, anything could have happened like this. >> yeah. well, one always suspects that this might happen, but one thinks that the resources, you know, and the capabilities of the men and women will be on standby, that they'll be able to cope with any situation that comes up. but apparently some people were asleep on the job. mainly our leaders there. but, you know, that's something they have to live with. and but that's something that community has to live with. and it's really sad. i mean, i have many friends that are, you know, looking for a place to put a roof over their heads and. kids and, you know, they're traumatized. so someone should answer for it.

but we'll see. i think i think we know who the culprits are. i'm in fact, my son was just he's a member of the volunteer fire brigade. he sort of interfaces between la county fire and people, and they assist them where they can during before and after the blaze. and apparently they the residents in corral canyon caught an arsonist up there, and the guy was all tooled up with fire gear and equipment and stuff like that and ready to go. and he had been lighting fires, but they, they they corralled the guy and corral canyon and gave him to the police. so. yeah, apparently that actively running around looking for these conditions. >> yeah. yeah. apparently, mel, that individual was never charged. it's a very confusing set of facts because apparently he was reportedly trying to light things on fire. but it's not the fires. i guess that i made it all. it all seems very bizarre, but they have not ruled out that arson could have

started the first fire. i mean, there's obviously still investigating this. and at the same time, mel, there are numerous complaints, as you alluded to, that the fire hydrants did not have water or water pressure. and the la fire chief herself reacted. watch this. >> my stance on this is when a firefighter comes up to a hydrant. >> we expect there's going to be water. >> we don't control the water supply. our firefighters are there to protect lives and property and to make sure that we're properly trained and equipped. that's my position on this. so if there's no water, i don't know how the water gets to the hydrants. >> mel. reaction to that? >> well, you know, i know they were messing with the water. letting reserves go for one reason or another. they've been doing that a while. california

has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things. and then in the events like this, you sort of look, well, is it on purpose? which it's an insane thing to think, but one begins to ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind. what could it be? you know, i don't know. do they want the state empty? i don't know. >> well, mel, there's already talk. and we played a couple of soundbites of reimagining the way rebuilding occurs. and obviously there's a great need for high density housing in california and across the country. that's a big push by the climate folks. and you're already hearing rumblings of that in this case, like goodbye single family homes, hello, high density housing. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, it's oh, it's pretty scary. and it will take decades to do that too.

it's like even even if it, you know, if it's a good idea, which i don't know if it is, but it reminds me of the old cattle barons clearing people off the land, you know. but i don't know, i, you know, i can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head, conspiracy theories and everything else. but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water and it and that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires. and are they commissioned to do so, or are they just acting on their own volition? i don't know, but they seem pretty well equipped. >> some of these people that they're catching a lot of a lot of a lot of questions, a lot, a lot of questions. mel. >> mel, a message tonight, you know, i'll i'll sift through the i'll sift through the remains of my, of my place and see if i can find any clues for you. >> mel. any message from you to governor newsom or karen bass tonight?

>> spend less on hair gel. that's it. yeah. you know, what can i say to them? i'm not big admirer of either, but there you go. >> now, mel, i know multiple shows and films have been put on hold. everyone's livelihood has been put on hold. been involved in these fires, affected by the fires. and i know you have a film flight risk that's coming out in just two weeks. first film you've directed since 2016, hacksaw ridge, which we love. the ingram family loved hacksaw ridge. so what what can we expect with the industry going through changes already with these fires affecting production? and i can't wait for this film. >> oh, sure. there's going to be i think, you know, people have to adapt. i mean, very few things are made in california now anyway. i mean, over all

these years, the playing field never really got leveled as far as, you know, tax exemptions and all these advantages. and you could get from making film here. so, you know, production goes on and the various places that it does. and i think for the industry, jeez, times of crisis have always been good for the entertainment industry. not that i'm saying any crisis is good. no. but i think people want, you know, they want to be entertained during those times. and they like escapism and just things for pure entertainment, which is which is what i was trying to do with flight risk anyway. it was just a pure, pure entertainment piece, but, well, we need it. >> we need pure entertainment. and mel, you know what else we need? you know what else we need? which i'm i cannot wait to talk to you about at length is the resurrection. and i know you've been working on that for quite a long time, but how wonderful it will be for us to have the resurrection in film.

and what can you tell us? >> briefly. yeah, briefly. wow. it's an ambitious thing and it's after working on it for 6 or 7 years with randall wallace and my brother, all of us kind of contributing to the, to the writing, it's going to be something that i hardly expected. i mean, it's i think i told joe the other day it's, you know, he said, what's it like? it's kind of like an acid trip, but you're dealing with big stuff and big questions and other realms, and it'll, it'll, it'll certainly be theologically and visually and, you know, artistically for me, challenging. but, you know, you got to step up to the plate and take a swing, right? >> no, mel, you've never done that. you've never done that in your in your, in your career. yeah. mel, i'm so glad that

you're okay. you've helped me in times of crisis when i was going through cancer. i will never forget you called me and gave me really great words of wisdom about treatment. and you were so fabulous all those years ago. 20 years ago, actually. and so i'm. i thought about you, man. it was 20 years ago. that's how long i've known you. yeah. wow. it's a long time. yeah. we've not aged at all. >> you're doing it up here. you're doing that up here. yeah. yeah. 20. oh my god. yeah, yeah i'm a little gray. >> yeah. no not you mel, i'm so glad you're okay. thank you for reminding us that our spiritual life sustains us and these very, very challenging, difficult, tragic times. but you reminded us all of that on rogan. that's all. >> you got it? >> yeah. yeah, it's all you got at the end of the day. really. >> how many rosaries are you praying this week, mel? >> well, decades or you know, i mean, it's like i go through i

go i go through periods of dry, of spiritual aridity. and i find those are the times when i get into it most. and i think when i meditate and pray most, and i think every morning i wake up and i have to. otherwise the day i just get started on the wrong foot. and i think that's what sustains us, you know, that's what lets us look at stuff in perspective. i mean, you can either be, you know, if you're in the circus, big top, you can either be on the trapeze and get the big overview, or you can be living in the pile of elephant, you know, so it's a matter of perspective. yeah. >> i'll go i'll go with the spiritual. mel, thank you so much for joining us. and i'm so glad. i'm so glad you're okay and i hope to see you soon. god bless you. >> thanks, laura. and you too. >> hang in, man, i will, i will. you take care of yourself? all right. just ahead. it was all just for show. while the democrats lawfare gets its last hurrah.

to the oval office, donald trump becomes the first former president to be sentenced on a felony conviction. >> it will cement trump's status now as the first convicted felon turned president, when he is inaugurated in just ten days. >> he still is going to take the oath of office for the first time in u.s. history as a convicted felon. >> judge juan merchan remained a hero of the far left today, sentencing president trump to an unconditional discharge in his new york trial, which means trump's going to face no jail time, fines or probation. stupid. now a rank partizan whose jury instructions gave no specific guidance on the predicate crime, alleged merchan must know he's going to be overturned here. but he was a man on a despicable, selfish mission. >> it's been a tremendous setback for new york and the new york court system. this has been a weaponization of government. they call it lawfare. never happened to any

extent like this, but never happened in our country before. it was done to damage my reputation so that i'd lose the election. and obviously that didn't work. >> joining me now, saul weisenberg, fox news contributor and former deputy independent counsel, and mike davis, a former law clerk for justice gorsuch and attorney. mike, let's start with you. rashawn's final remarks at today's sentencing. >> let's listen, sir, i wish you godspeed as you assume your second term in office. thank you. >> mike, after this sham trial, we're supposed to believe he's being all respectful. or is this just an insulting dig? >> this democrat, manhattan judge juan merchan, is partizan. he's corrupt. he's dangerous. he took our country to the brink. >> the american people heard all of these allegations and all of this so-called evidence, with all this lawfare run by these biden democrats all over the country, and the american

people delivered our verdict on november 5th. >> now, saul, you say this case should be reversed on appeal. specifically, give us a thumbnail on that. >> well, let me begin by saying i consider this the most nakedly political misuse and abuse of the criminal justice system in american history. and all of our thoughts about that. all commentary should go through that lens. this case, as we all know, never would have been brought in new york on these facts against any other, any other person. and in light of that, these pious comments today by the prosecutor and the judge about the rule of law are or are a joke in terms of possible grounds for overturning the conviction. where do you where do you start? i think one of the areas you start is that

very important in terms of constitutional law is the question of. question of presidential immunity. as we've talked about before on this show, bragg made the decision. he didn't have to call former advisers to president trump and get their testimony. and he mentioned this was mentioned in the closing argument. that's a problem under the supreme court's immunity decision. and the trump lawyers tried to litigate, litigate that issue. the supreme court hadn't ruled yet, but they wanted to litigate that issue before it went to the jury, and the judge wouldn't let him do it. so i think that's a powerful potential ground. but there there many others. >> and, mike, do you agree that if there's just a sliver of impartiality left in our justice system, this will be overturned on appeal? >> there's no question this case is going to get overturned on appeal for many different reasons. as saul was talking

about, presidential immunity is one of the key ones, but also the fact they didn't even this judge did not tell the jury that they had to unanimously agree on what the underlying crime was that somehow turned the this bookkeeping misdemeanor into 34 felonies against the president. look, merchan didn't sentence president trump to prison after 34 felonies. that tells you all we need to know. this was lawfare and election interference. >> now, saul, on the supreme court decision yesterday where you had the liberal justices and the chief and amy coney barrett saying they're not going to get involved now. and then you had, you know, the for conservatives, kavanaugh, alito, thomas and gorsuch say, no, no, this is essentially this is a matter of national importance. and they thought it was important to step in even in an interlocutory basis. were you surprised by that vote?

>> well, i wasn't surprised by the result, actually. i was a little surprised that it was so close. but keep in mind, all they wanted to do the four dissenters was to hear the case. they thought that the that the motion should be heard, not necessarily what they would decide. but one of the things chief justice roberts, who wrote the opinion, made it clear was that this would one of the reasons they weren't intervening is because they took judge merchan at his word, always a dangerous thing that there would be, you know, he would be unconditionally discharged, president trump and would not and would not go to jail. and they pointed out that he still has the appellate process. and so real quick, though, i know president trump was sorry. >> go ahead. let's just get mike on that real fast. mike, i think it's a travesty. i think this whole thing should have been thrown out. it was a it was a sham. and i think it should have ended with the

supreme court if they want if they're worried about their credibility, they should have ended it. >> how do you have presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, but not from criminal sentencing? the chief justice and justice amy coney barrett, failed to do their job. >> all right. saul. mike, both of you, thank you so much. all right. mark zuckerberg reveals the truth about the covid censorship. the angle was telling you about all along. next. >> are you looking for a walk in tub for you or someone you love? well, look no further. january is national bath safety month, and for a limited time, when you purchase your brand new safe step walk in tub, you'll receive a free safety package. and if you call today, you'll also receive $1,500 off your entire order. yes, $1,500 off the price of your brand new safe step walk in tub. proudly made in tennessee a safe step. walk in tub is the best in its class. the ultra low, easy step helps keep you safe from having

program. they pushed us super hard to take down things that were honestly were true, right? i mean, they basically pushed us and said, you know, anything that says that vaccines might have side effects, you basically need to take down basically these people from the biden administration would call up our team and, like, scream at them and curse. >> curse. well, he claims that facebook itself was victimized by biden when he was he gave some statement at some point where he basically was like, these guys are killing people. >> and, and, and i don't know. then like all these different agencies and branches of government basically just like started investigating, coming after our company. it was it was brutal looking. >> very groovy too, isn't he? that necklace, the longer hair, the. joining us now is stephen miller, incoming white house deputy chief of policy and homeland security advisor.

stephen, i remember you when you were just an aide to, you know, a us senator. now you have this fancy title. i think you should get an outfit. this is friday night. you should get an outfit just like zuckerberg. wear the necklace and the. now i'm. i imagine if you show up like that to work, what would the president trump think would approve of that outfit? >> but i respect the right. well, mark zuckerberg to have his own style sense. i think the president is going to enforce a much stricter dress code in the west wing. >> stephen, now, there's some positive signs here with his comments, but is this a genuine mea culpa, or are these changes temporary? >> well, mark zuckerberg came up to mar-a-lago, and as it happens, i had the opportunity to meet with him on the same day that he was there to meet with president trump. and we had a chance to ask him these questions and ask if this new emphasis on free speech was sincere, ask if this new emphasis on ending die was

going to endure. and all i can say is that mark said that it was, you know, i can't read a man's inner thoughts, his inner mind. obviously, we know the conservatives have had immense and that's a mild term for it. complaints about meta properties and platforms as well as, of course, the $400 million gift, if you want to call it that, that zuckerberg made for ballot harvesting in the 2020 election. so again, i can't see inside of mark zuckerberg's inner thoughts. i can tell you what he told me is that the conversion is sincere and that he's committed to restoring free speech, and he's committed to ending dei policies. >> well, stephen, he has some work to do because on political sites, especially conservative pages, the reach is suppressed and demonetization is a real thing. like conservative pages cannot get that. yeah. they got to change that. correct. right? >> yes. no. words are empty. the proof is in the results. now again, as conservatives, we

celebrate when we get public support behind a proposition. and then other people flip their policies. right. that's how you win a culture war. so when, when the ceo of a large corporation comes out and says, no, i'm going to push for free speech, no, i'm going to end racist policies at my corporation. that's something that we should encourage. but we should also say, but we need to verify it. we need to show that this is actually happening, that we're not demonetizing and that we're not censoring. i just want to make a very important point, though. this is all part of the trump effect. president trump made clear throughout the campaign that he was going to end censorship. when he came in, he was going to use the department of justice, office of civil rights to protect americans, first amendment rights to protect american civil rights, to leverage federal resources to stop discrimination. and so that's a major part of why we're seeing this today. laura. >> fantastic. stephen, thank you very much for joining us. all right. biden responds to the disaster in la with another disaster friday. follies with

raymond arroyo is next. >> i speak in the name of the one true god. this kingdom is ours. nobody is going to take it from us. >> if you have christ, all the other stuff is overflow. who are you? >> i come from heaven. do you think this child will ever see peace? >> that's what i'll be fighting for. >> he was only 47. aneurysm. did he have life insurance? do you know? you got to get on it. check out selectquote. trust me. the peace of mind. it's worth it. life insurance is too important to put off another day. that's why selectquote makes getting coverage you need easy. for less than a dollar a day. now get up to a $2 million

he's reading now. >> she was actually next to him and he didn't know. >> but look, confusion reigns. >> yeah, well confusion reigns. at the white house. i was struck by the clarity and faith the other night of notre dame quarterback riley leonard last night. notre dame, of course, beat penn state, won a trip to the national championship. but leonard knows who's in charge of that game and his life. watch. >> what changed offensively? >> so you guys started moving the football in the second half. >> shoot i just started trusting in the lord. >> i looked up and said, jesus, whatever your will is for my life, i trust it 100%. and i know that this, this offense and this team trusting jesus and his plan for this season. >> yeah, football and faith. good to see that works together. >> well, i mean, yeah. well, you know, marcus freeman, the coach also restored the entire team praying together, going to mass before games, which is something notre dame had done away with. he brought it back and then later converted to catholicism himself. when people marvel at the unity and

the and the improvisatory quality of this team, how they so gel. i think you just heard the secret sauce. they pray together, day together. and look, you were discussing with my pal mel earlier. faith is making a comeback. and whether it's the times we're in or the rise of evil, people are willing to defend their faith. and this week, an onlyfans star who regularly records herself sleeping with strangers approached a five guys employee. note his response i loved it, i just wondered, i can't say it on the menu, but where do i get the five guys from the i didn't know if it was like a special room or you can take me out back. >> no, i don't think that's happening. what about after your shift? i mean, i'd want to give you, you know, good, a good rating. i'm a christian man, and i'm saving myself for marriage. i'm asking for what's on the menu, that's all. genuinely, i feel like i'm dreaming right now. >> i can handle a menu if you want. are you on it? no. i'm not. >> i love that that that's what. >> that's what manhood looks

like, laura. i mean, this woman, she she preys on guys weaknesses. she's out there tempting people to do horrible things on camera. i love that the guy not only stood up for it, but, you know, defended his faith in front of her. good on him. >> yeah. that was well, we need to see more of that. and it's very sad for her. i agree. but finally, raymond, i know you and i watched the carter funeral and there was some there was some beautiful eulogies both during the week, but at the actual ceremony. but there was a lot happening beneath the surface. >> yeah. well, look, laura, i'm still trying to get over garth brooks singing imagine at a christian funeral. but i'll put that aside. the subliminal messages coming from the attendees were pretty unmistakable. when trump and obama started talking like old pals, kamala harris suddenly looked like she was a church lady. she did everything but shush them, you know? then the incoming first lady, she wasn't playing at all. melania clearly remembers what the bidens and the emhoff's were saying about
