captivity in gaza after exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners. in a moment we will get reaction from senators tom cotton and richard blumenthal. first return to fox news chief war correspondent trey yingst there on the ground. >> good morning. after 477 days of waiting for israeli hostages, were release from hamas captivity on saturday morning for the women were paraded through gaza city across the stage before they were taken into the custody of the red cross. emotional moments as israeli soldiers reunited with their family members on the border before being flown to a hospital in central israel. the exchange was the second of phase one and the cease-fire agreement. include the release of nearly 200 palestinian prisoners but some of those prisoners were released into waiting crowds in the west bank city. dozens more of the violent offenders were exiled into egypt paid the current cease-fire deal is in jeopardy as the israelis wait for a list of remaining

hostages set to be freed in the first round of the deal and then released for other siblings being held inside gaza including one female from the community believed to be alive. in response israel has reportedly pause the ability for palestinians to return to northern gaza from the south. a key part of the agreement part yesterday president trump said t he is asking egypt and jordan to open their borders to allow palestinians to go there while goss has been cleared of hamas and rebuilt three trump left open the idea this could be a temporary or long-term solution. the statement to root reactions in gaza. >> the call from u.s. president is completely rejected it. completely. if he thanks he will forcefully displace the palestinian people, this is impossible. impossible, impossible by the palestinian people firmly believe this land is theirs, its it's oil is their soil. >> there is hope the current agreement could lead to a

broader piece across the region ushered in by president trump and his team. the new administration faces an uphill battle. shannon: trey yingst live in israel thank you now to fox news correspondent lucas tomlinson covering the presidents trip out west. >> shannon, president trump returned to nevada. one of the states he won in his seven swing state sweep here in las vegas home to some of the largest hotels in the world. the president had a message for support is in the service industry. you want to scrap their taxes on tips. >> we are going to have no attacks on tips but many of these workers were hit hard and very hard by the ravages of the biden economy. which was inflation. >> before arriving at las vegas trumps first stop on his first trip since returning to the white house was western north carolina to tour the communities ravaged by hurricane helene right next he visited los angeles were california governor gavin newsom unexpectedly showed up for trumps arrival.

after touring the devastation by air and on the ground, trump thanked first responders and later sat down with local leaders including l.a. mayor karen bass. the two sparred over it letting homeowners begin repairing the damage and not waiting on government contractors which trump said could slow down recovery efforts. >> they are saying they will not be labeled to start for 18 months? >> know that will not be the case. >> i just heard that precut you can hold me too that. books for groups said that they should be able to start tonight. >> that will not be the case of a. >> trump said he expects aside a new executive order to overhaul fema or get rid of it entirely. the commander-in-chief getting rid of 17 inspector generals ges including those at the pentagon and state department the response split among party lines. >> sometimes inspector general do not do the job they are supposed to do. so they deserve to be fired. >> one more example a lack of

respect. earlier president trump pardoned on january 6 riders. and now to get independent inspector general's. how is any of this going to work? after pete hegseth was sworn in as defense secretary many republicans want swifter confirmation beginning with trump's pick to lead the treasury department. hearings for tulsi gabbard and rfk junior. shannon: lucas thompson from vegas thank you for joining us now tom cotton's got a brand-new book out by the weight next month entitled seven things you can't say about china. senator will see if we get teddy the seven we're definitely going to talk about china. don't ask about the reporting that lucas had about the firing of these inspectors in general. i've heard from some your gop colleagues who we are concerned sent did not get the proper notification even if ultimately the notice wasn't there and

president trump is signaling he is just going to observe which laws he wants are not others. >> time and time again the supreme court is said congress can impose restrictions on the president's power to remove officers. he remove the director of consumer finance protection bureau despite limitations on the president's constitutional power to remove officers was linked litigate at the serene court and the president one. the inspectors general served at the pleasure of the president but he wants new people in their for he wants new people focus on getting out waste and fraud in reforming these agencies. he has the right to get in there who he wants. shannon: you think he will? that's the next question but those were times when those slots were left open. they are your eyes and ears as lawmakers that they will be filled. >> i believe soper baby will not fill them immediately an entire staff has other priorities. the inherent power to remove officers will be upheld as been

time and again for democratic and republican presidents alike. shannon: was asked about middle east. you've been critical of this deal but you've had concerns about it. it came together and present buying and president trump are you confident in the deal moving forward the fact there is progress? we are getting these people home. >> of course be welcome home these hostages you cannot help will be overjoyed to see families welcoming them back. at the same time my general preference is not to with just what they're almost destroyed after hiroshima and nagasaki we did not negotiate with japan was an unconditional surrender and give us a 40000 americans back. that said the deal is underway, we predicted at the time that hamas might break the terms of the deal that is apparently what happened yesterday by not sending home israeli civilian women. that is one reason the israeli government has paused for the gazans in certain areas inside of gaza but i would say if hamas

wants to continue the cease-f cease-fire, they need to respect every single term of that deal. shannon: are watching minute by minute to other phases are meant to be negotiate as well when to ask about the hearings he sent intel committee we will hear from tulsi gabbard at dni nominate her plenty of critics out there from both sides of the aisle let's read from a former chairman of the u.s. national intelligence council writing she's got no background in intelligence whatsoever has never managed much of anything. even more worryingly as i was meant to advise the president protect our nation see customer adversaries. tulsi gabbard has cozied up to two vicious dictators who are america's enemies. there are concerns about her positions with façade comments noted, or use of the tools and how she feels about them. are you confident you hide your questions on those issues addressed? >> i've had many occasions to speak with tulsi gabbard as have other mems a committee of senators we got her background check back along the financial papers last week. he probably scheduled a hearing

seven days later as the rules of our committee allow it. i can promise you and all americans that tulsi gabbard is going of a full hearing on thursday. just going back the hearing we conduct for john ratcliffe and they conduct different nominees with democrat republican presidents alike. no more, no better, no worse i understand people differences of opinion with transient some republicans disagree she's cast as a democratic congress woman. a lot of democrats may be upset she finally saw the light left the democratic party. we won't see anyone questioning her patriotism. hilary clinton is basically called her a traitor in the past. this is a woman who served 20 years in our nation's army. she has passed five different background checks are reviewed the latest one, it is clean as a whistle. it's fine for people to policy differences and ask questions about those differences. i hope you know it would in pugh her patriotism her and her

integrity. shannon: reports and ask he is and review saying she might not even make it out of committee. are there things about our conversations her positions with regard to asid assad or putin tt raised concern for you? >> there's a latheir delectableg productions on background about the president's nominee that don't come true. if you recall pete hegseth in early december is on the verge of withdrawing to be replaced by someone and now a secretary hag seth the department of defense are making similar predictions about donald trump over the last few years he staged the greatest political comeback in american history. to be able to have a full and fair hearing for tulsi gabbard on thursday she will be able to explain her past statements and her votes. she will explain whatever views on policies, programs or loss she will faithfully execute the president's agenda. if she is confirmed shall give unbiased and unvarnished look at the intelligence comes in every day about the nations threats. shannon: one is that you been long vocal about his china. let's talk about tiktok.

president trump seems to be willing to pause the ban on tiktok their different conversations or rumors about what may come together he has indicated he may be willing to allow some level of chinese ownership or connection to this. he gives this explanation to her colleague sean hannity about why. >> you can say that about everything made in china we have are telephones made in china for the most part we have so many things made in china. so why don't they mention that? >> your response. >> allow a pass at lasser's in effect. the law is the law and imposes a consequence is in a company that continues to host her district tiktok would not just liability but bankruptcy the penalties are so high that most medium sized countries could not pay them pretty want to commend those companies like apple and google that are following the lot no longer hosting tiktok. but our point passing that allows them to ban tiktok in the united states. it was to force bytedance, its

parent company that's controlled by the chinese communists, to divest from tiktok breach of a tiktok not influenced by chinese communism. it's not just a threat to our privacy and data. although it is certainly that. it's propaganda like anti- somatic content and exposes children to extreme violence, obscenity, drug use, even encouraging suicide. it's getting news as a statecraft. in lobby against the law what might they do if donald trump imposes tariffs on china or a moment of heightened tension around taiwan? that's what's critical a complete and total break with communist china. that's exactly with the law insists. as for a deal, i'm not really concerned whether this american company or group of investors a bison or for that matter if we work with partners in places

like europe, the middle east or east asia. it is controlled by an ally that's very different than controlled by communist china. shannon: i want to try to get to two quick things before you go. while we are on the subject of china this is a headline from the "new york times" yesterday but cia now favors a elaboratey theory to explain covid origin for this is a headlight in february of 2020. senator tom cotton repeats fringe theory of coronavirus or is origins do you feel some level of indication? >> i can't set in the very beginning covid probably came from that lab i did no do not he access to science and it looked at the facts understood at chinese comments do. i am glad in the final days of the bite of ministration, the cia reach the same conclusion i commend john ratcliffe for making that conclusion probably but the important thing now is we have to make china pay for unleashing the plague on the world just like we have to make them pay for stealing our jobs and harming american workers and businesses by doing things like imposing tariffs on them on a

strategically critical girls goods. most of their most favored nation status. shannon: quickly before you go, president trump is taken back to security number people including fauci, mike pompeo, brent cook and john pulled int to the wall street editorial board said pray it won't happen but what if one of them now gets attacked? irairan commits violence against any of these men mr. trump will not be able to escape some responsibility because i would encourage the present to revisit the decision for those being targeted by ironic. the president was targeted for assassination by iran. the chairman of the intelligence committee reviewed the intelligence of the last few days with a threat to anyone involved in a president trump strike on sulla money is persistent, it's real, iran is committed to vengeance against all of these people. in fact the chief of staff to the office of the drastic director of national intelligence agreed with me if these threats were against him or his family, that he would want security because the threats are real. there are gaps in our coverage.

we do not know what we do not know it's better to be safe than sorry. is not just about these men help president trump carry out the policy in his first term it is about their family and friends, innocent bystanders every time they are in public it's also about good people and good advice. going to work for the president now on iran with china, north korea might hesitate to do so. to give him the advice he needs or carry out the policies that he decides upon. shannon: editor, think of your time will be watching thursday for that hearing. >> thanthink every. shannon: joining s now connecticut senator richard blumenthal but thank you for being with us today. i want to go back to the middle east a story you've been in touch with her father when the israeli american hostages who has been, and you know i anythig more about his condition of what he might be released?

we are praying and working for the fulfillment of the cease-fire agreement. center cotton is absolute right. america should hold hamas to that agreement insisting every single provision is a bipartisan agreement that gives a president trump a lot of along with president biden for reaching it. we need to keep our eye on the ball. this cease-fire agreement can lead to normalization and expansion of the abraham accord. a united front against the real adversary here which is ironic. shannon: i want to ask about something you've been vocal on which is been in the headlines this week the presidential pardons. you've done a couple of things a bill to introduce that force the president to explain what and why and how they are doing this. and offering up a constitutional amendment that would limit the ability of a present to partner

commute some the sentences. i want just one case in particular because you know it well you were connecticut attorney general when adrian peeler was convicted on both state and federal charges, sent to prison. he was convicted and the death of an 8-year-old boy and his mom they mealimit witnesses to anotr shooting. it changed the loss forever in connecticut. the fact that adrian peeler was commuted, sentence by president biden is described as a mischaracterization of justice. you know the case well begun any indication from anyone to the biden administration why it's been commuted and will be out this summer? >> i have no explanation for the decision in that case was appalling to me. i was attorney general of the state of connecticut at the time that adrian was convicted of murdering a witness, an 8-year-old boy who is about to testify in a drug case. it was a missed character of justice and frankly as appalling to me as the pardons for 1500

rioters who assaulted brutally causing serious injuries and some deaths to police. that decision by president trump i think was equally if not more appalling to me. but the point here is that there been mistakes on both side democrat, republican presidents. these decisions are made in the shadows where there is a black box no one knows why that decision was made. many of these parting decisions really cry out for more accountability and transparency. that is why i have introduced a bill it is called bardic transparency and accountability act that would establish some guardrails and requiring justice impact statement written notification to victims and to the prosecutor. so they can express their opinion. an explanation required of the president. disclosure of any lobbying that has occurred in connection with

that decision. now, as you know the pardon power is absolute. it's one of those unique powers it has no checks and balances. the founders incorporated from the english monarchy in order to really establish some safe yards and guard rails and a constitutional amendment. >> none of the 1500 people were charged with killing an officer there is violence against an officer that was charged were just so we're clear on that point. there's also missed before he left, it writes about this at newsweek. he says it's because he fears the law fair that he invented the pardons were to biden some benefits as the recipients are much less likely to disclose any information directly invoke a president bit but into the famis alleged quote pay to play 10% for the bigeye schemes. there are democrats who question the wisdom of biden during that

going out the door which are proposals either of them limit the president's ability to pardon family members? >> it wouldn't requ would requit legislation i have offered the president provide some explanation for it some accountability. some guardrails. but let's be very clear i was critical on those democrats who said to the president note preemptive pardons. they are not required. they violate the basic spirit of the pardon law. what we need in the legislation as well as the constitutional amendment is greater transparency and accountability for the president so congress has a role. like my state of connecticut there is a board of pardons and parole's that have specific criteria outside of judgment. and a check and balance the constitution applies in other decisions. while we're on the topic of

transparency, just to add a note on the fiery firing of inspectors general, center cotton is absolute right the present is brought inherent power to fire officials and the executive branch. but, with respect to inspectors general versus specific law that orders notice 30 days in a statement of reasons. thsubstantive and detailed rationale. that law plainly has not been complied with here i challenge my republican colleagues many strong advocates of inspectors general center ernst and grassley have been advocates of these watchdog against corruption and ways to speak out and joined me a join me in oppoe firings. elon musk ox to also be joining he is against wasteful spending. shannon: which is often their assignment in these different agencies.

that senator grassley, you mention him. he said to me there may be a good reason they were fired we need to know that pardons for thpreventsfurther explanation fm president trump. regardless the 30 day detail that the law demands is not provided to congress. i talked to some other folks who are part of this caucus that you are part of for the inspector general's. they have concerns as well pr you confident and your gop college of senator grassley speaking out. you think others will too? this caucus is brand-new you have an inspectors general. >> a form this caucus because inspectors general do controversial work. they say and blow the whistle when there has been abuse or waste. they are against that wasteful spending. that is the reason why our bipartisan caucus i hope will and must provide stronger support. andisappointed in republican so far they've not spoken out. many of these inspectors general have been very critical of

democrat administrations. i'm the ranking member on veterans affairs. the inspector general for the va was very critical of a number of decisions are the by administration. michael horowitz did a report that was very critical of a number of decisions under democrat administration they are bipartisan, independent and we need to preserve that support. i challenge actually republican colleagues traverse these decision. shannon: who vest the white house for comments will see what we get on that front thank you for taking time to come in this morning. >> thank you. shannon: president trump wasting no time issue executive orders ain't that shutting down illegal migrants into the country. senate including sending troops to the border and effort to end birthright citizenship. what do the courts have to say about all this? the legal panel on the battles they are ahead, next.

>> the law is clear harboring illegal aliens, smuggling illegal aliens, instructing law enforcement, obstructing a legal proceeding and conspirators who develop the rights of americans, all of these and many more criminal statutes. and so, if there are instances that occur or a public official or an elected individual and violations of the criminal statutes, i fully expect the department of justice will follow the letter of the law. shannon: white house at deputy chief of staff stephen miller doubling down on week one crackdowns on states to end

birthright citizenship spark immediate legal challenges in a constitutional debate let's bring in our legal panel to break it down. george washington university law professor jonathan turley and assistant attorney general. good morning gentlemen. >> thanks, thanks. shannon: will start here with copies operations going on immigration deportation around the country and number cities and states are saying we are not going to cooperate. several state attorneys general led by new york say this the constitution prevents the federal government from commandeering states to enforce federal laws. tom, how do you see this playing out? is there a commandeering, cooperation don't resist don't block our federal efforts? who is in the right? >> quick ftse is certainly true under our constitution the federal government cannot commandeer or conscript state officials into serving federal policies. but, the state time state officials cannot act in a way

that obstructs or thwarts immigratearthworksimmigration pw enforcement. who could not have the universe the federal government is attempting to enforce the laws of the united states including the immigration laws. if state or local officials taking everything, every step to undermine that activity to thwart federal policy. to prevent the effective implementation of federal law. i do think the constitution is pretty clear here. i haven't seen anything and the slight executive orders overstepping the constitutional line by starting to commandeer or to conscript state officials into service. >> you for this language in stephen miller this week talking about there are laws out there against harboring illegal immigrants and those kinds of things. d.o.j. can pursue for potential possibilities against whether civil or criminal against state and local officials. i do not know if that means actual prosecutions. there is language an executive

order cutting off federal funding to these places as well. what potential dangers could these leaders legally face in sanctuary cities and states? >> nothing in the constitution defined its own demise. you do not have to give the states money if it is being used to undermine federal policy. there commandeering principal's got to be a strong nexis part has to be limited. if you deny all federal funds to a city or states, at very well can trigger the commandeering doctrine. you have to be focused coming out of a nexus to say you're not going to justice department funds and interfering with the justice department enforcing federal laws. there's a lot of funding in those parameters. in terms of officials who are actively subverting efforts, they can cross the line as well but it's often very difficult

line for courts to define. but there is peril here for state officials. terms of individual actions everyone's going to be very careful to save than that now the navigational beacons of their authority. you will not get citizenship and of the state they reside. it was said this will not let this attack on newborns go unchallenged. trump administration overreach ultimately prevail. >> i don't think they're going

to move the whole lot of success in the lower court that has been fairly well settled law for a long time is encompassed within the 14th amendment. the supreme court the decider of this issue. back when the 14th amendment was enacted there was an understanding if you are illegal aliens in this country had the child that child was birthright citizenship. the argument would have to go things have changed. we are under an invasion. the rules of the game have changed justice back in the 14th amendment is people would not extend birthright citizenship to say children born have invaded the united states. that's a bold and audacious legal argument they've encountered a lot of pushback from lower federal judges. at the end of the day it's united states supreme court that will sort out whether the 14th

amendment still means what we thought it meant. >> is there a victory for the trump administration or is this you've got to amend the constitution if you want to change how the 14th amendment has been understood for the most part until now. >> initial argument might be a little bit different in the sense you have an amendment as clarity on both ends. if you are born in this country there are six maddening words people have been debating over since it was first enacted or ratified. members of the supreme court may want to look at that when the 14th amendment was drafted some of the individuals involved in the process some members of congress said they believed it did not extend that has fueled the law itself has been taking fairly stable since then.

could adopt a different interpretation. sue playing out before the midterm election. do not approve of birthright citizenship we are in the minority of countries recognizing birthright citizenship. that may be what the trump administration is looking for if they lose in the courts they could start a concert constitua campaign this is a wedge issue they might invite. >> that legal laws of political and as president trump could attest is now president again. thank you good to see you guys. up next president trump says fema's days may be numbered. arsenate panel was in on the fate of that federal agency and a slew of presidential action in week one.

>> i am not saying this not changes that are needed but we made a lot of changes of the last four years to try to remove some of the bureaucracy we made great strides in them. there's always room for improvement. >> fema is a very big disappointment. they cost a tremendous amount of money. it is very bureaucratic. and it is very slow. other than that we are very happy with them.

okay? shannon: fema director and president trump have different states on the agency will take it or send a group also journal white house reporter annie linskey heritage and president forbes contributing writer fox news contributor, richard bauer. project 21 president constitutional law professor, a horshorse we could've used in te last panel as well maybe we'll get into some of your legal insight slits are the fullness it fema situation. executive order last check on the white house website is not up we haven't heard anything official about fema. will include the sectors on security and defense in addition to private sector subject matter experts the task force will be issuing a report to president trump on how the federal disaster response agency currently functions in part ultimately recommend changes which could include reorganizing or getting rid of fema. what happens with disaster relief if he met went away? >> a few macaws await disaster

relief becomes much more efficient per se that of someone who grew up on the gulf coast. i member hurricane andrew 1992. all of us waiting for the power to come back for the supplies to arrive. the only thing that could provide those things were local people. fema is a microcosm what's wrong with federal government it's a bloated, to bureaucratic, it's inefficient, it is outdated. i applaud president trump for doing this on behalf of disaster relief for everyday americans. it will be a great update to the federal government pick what you say the gulf coast i grew up there at the gulf of america now? [laughter] >> it isn't gulf of america list 10 inches of snow in my hometown. >> my floridians are covered in snow down there got pictures to prove it. richard açai shaking when you don't agree getting rid of fema would make things better? what's a couple of things i threw lives their interest a lot younger back then. >> i remember it jupit jupiter a grown-up picture in that time what we know from natural

disasters in this country's natural disasters the response of them happen correctly is when state, federal or local governments are all working together the job of fema is to empower and embolden local and state officials to do their jobs better to give them the resources they need as fast as possible we acknowledge there's mistakes made katrina and others. this committee is the right way to go. to abolish the federal agency has had success in many cases and getting things right, doing things right and delivering resources is important. i think also to when you have the politics of natural disaster that's the thing that breaks my heart in these types of situation. you see it members of congress try to attach voter id or this or that shoot natural disaster relief for those in need especially giving, specifically california many states are going through this. have contributed so much of the general fund we need some of the money we put in back i think

right now more than ever to get rid of it is the way to go for a quick speaking of the politics of president trump visited north carolina that is touching down in california there is not a plan to meet with governor newsom he had a plan to be there because he was on the tarmac newsom was among a collection of prominent californian democrats who welcomed trump on friday in los angeles with wild fires working peacefully with the president might boost their political standing. california, your political standing is boosted by hanging out president trump something has changed. >> that is true, that is right. governor newsom showed up a greeting air force one typically the governors do that whe on the presidents plane lands. there's more to meets the eye than what the relationship between newsom and trump. they abuse each other as a punching bags during the

campaign season. they also work together on covid, on fires previously. these two men have a history together. thethey're both a showman. they know how to get headlines but they do know how to work together. >> i keep heat using the word from the mates they do work together when they have too. politico says this. they're quoting in l.a. who said for most of the 20 century california was entirely republican state on a list of things he could accomplish if he decides not to be is the possibility he could help accomplish a pretty significant shift in the electoral ballots. is california going to turn it red? >> a lot of america is turning red. after november will be so is a dramatic shift in this country. countcompany aftcounty after coy was more red in 2024 than it was in 2020. but to talk about fema for just a moment, if you have fema's record it is going to be very

difficult to survive the threat of dissolution. you cannot have e-mails where you say i went to this house that had a trump sign so we went on pass. in my case, and 2021 we had a record winter storm in texas. it was 2022 reached out by fema to ask us if we needed any help. that was a long time later. the record of fema is not good. if they continue the record they have, they're heading for dissolution very quickly. >> when the other executive orders was about releasing information various varies assassinations. rfk, jfk, reverend martin luther king junior. he said their families and the american people deserve transparency and truth. he said it's in the national interest to finally release all the records related to these assassinations without delay this a bit of a process going for the documentation, who

thanks we will learn anything new? >> i do i am a historian by training pay from that perspective from the perspective of an observer there's no politics in this for the american people realize they want to get to the bottom of this is driving a lot of americans, especially young people on the so-called new right to figure out what's going on with aliens in outer space. it seems this middle age guy and itit's not esoteric to figure ot why. porton americans were assassinate but also very importantly, why did the federal government including some senior people in the previous republican administration block confirming release? this is the kind of thing that donald trump is doing to bring the everyday american interests back to washington d.c. >> richard you are shaking your head if you're shaking her head with kevin maybe there's some agreement? >> that makes me nervous. i do think it's important the american people get to see these. special what happened in the assassination of martin luther king jr. pretty specifically

what we know is counterintelligence against martin luther king the fbi was going after him because he fought for civil rights pretty sought fought for human rights he fought for what today we call diversity, equity and inclusion. we'll meet release these records hopeful at the time for this country to realize many of the things martin luther king fought for our things occurred in ministrations fighting against. case in .1965 executive order trump overturned was something doctor king advocated for something these records get released help with the recollection we sell a lot of work to do as a country. >> the countries bracing for what we may find out is going to take time to get the right answer silicon valley's cozy up to president trump the who's who of the tech giants were there they turned out for the inauguration but president trump said it's time to secure america's place is a world ai leader there is some bad blood in this group right here some clashing in the trump inner circle. more on that, next.

how much of this is moscow wanting to bea be front and cenr president trump's best friend and no one else intrudes despite all the tech burrows showing. >> the president said the two men don't like each other. shannon: there is litigation to be fair. there is a expression of that occurring. the thing i'm most excited about the importance of new energy generation centers. whether we are talking factories, plants, et cetera we need more energy in america and we need to deploy efforts whether it's in alaska, on the american gulf, wherever we may find it we need to start doing it. and so i was very excited or want to bring in these kinds of resources that are likely going to follow up with new energy development. shannon: part of the visually got this week with all these topictopsilicon valley guys ridn the york times it is a remarkable spectacle watching

entirely new power center flock to washington, fight for it trump's attention jackie to prove their loyalty throw money at him, clamor for eight figure mansions around town. this is not what we have seen in the past during a gop administration for. >> that is true. a power click coming to town. it's a group of people if you reverse five or six years many of them were very i'm trying to think of a polite way to say it opposed to donald trump. [laughter] that's a polite way. they have making up to do with president they've been very quick to do so. this is when the biggest shifts. biden was very cautious very scared of ai was putting up guardrails around the technology. trump is seeing it as an opportunity and that's of many of the people surrounding him.

not all, musk and altman have had disagreements about ai. is seen as an opportunity and a way to get the country and a place where it compete with the chinese who are also seeing ai as an opportunity. shannon: president trump is known to fall behind and that's clear from the administration where the driving forces on getting ai and the power force it needs centered here in the u.s. now about this spat between the tech prose, the inner circle of trump for a long time says this. i have never seen action like this in my life. about musk stepping on the announcement he also called white house chief of staff susie wells to set him down and sort it out immediately. kevin it sounds like there's been some susie while elon musk conversation going on this week on various issues. >> probably makes sense susie soon a great job, ran a great campaign i think these are growing pains of the trump realignment. for this life lo lifelong movems

great to see all of these men and women who politely oppose trump last time come around. to see if the skepticism about a few of them saying jeff bays owes and some others will of course be legitimate i ultimately applauded trump for trying to do this as it relates artificial intelligence, balancing the need for american innovation with the common good. not just conservatives i like to think for a liberal friends to do something we can agree on if a chief of staff susie wiles can bring this home and keep everyone on the reservation i'm optimistic about the policy outcome. >> 's got to be quite a big reservation at. [laughter] couple of things i do think it was very interesting to watch and inauguration you saw the second row almost across from all the former elected presidents were tech ceos instead of governors or folks are demi democratically elected by the people. i think that becaus causes pausa

lot of americans. i think with that being said you think about donald trump's agenda which is an american first agenda or america first agenda it's important to remember for this ai expansion is going to require foreign resources. joe biden's last trip in december it was to angola. part of that trip was to install a train line that with copper to the ports of copper can come to america to produce power here in america to generate ai for you continue on the path of that revitherubio state department oo more aid this up at a stalemate in trump's plan to create the ai generating farms to create ai power which is necessary. for the trump team how do you create ai without pharmacy policy and make row materials to make it possible? we don't have a copper. we are the most abundant natural resources. >> we don't have copper copper is critical for ai and for the farms. >> if like president trump is a wheeler dealer who will find a

way to get his hands on what he thanks america needs. i do think he's very much that the conversation be focusing on that production here is much as a possible hundreds of billions of dollars it showed up at the white house, we will see how that all materializes and whether the robots take over.
