>>president elect trump return to washington wednesday to meet with president biden. the 2 men in the oval office and the white house says the leaders met for about 2 hours. administration officials describe the meetings as cordial and gracious saying they address a wide range of topics, including national security and domestic policy kron four's dan lotus and vicki liviakis spoke with the chair of the political science department at sonoma state. david mcewan to discuss this all further. >>is it a risky move by gates to step down and why is his nomination in particular so polarizing? >>yeah, i mean, he's so nominations up to this point have been so much what you would expect. i mean, marco

rubio is a guy who will be fine. it state that kind of been nurses are stronger appointments in that regard. but if you look at gates case of someone who's been under investigation by the doj has been under an ethics by his colleagues in congress. this is someone who has had difficulty getting along as well with his colleagues, particularly in the republican caucus. when you look at that, he's a guy who upset or throw overboard. kevin mccarthy and there's been a number of people who don't like matt gaetz in the freedom caucus on on his side. and it's not clear that he would get confirmed by the senate. so that raises the question of a resort ariza recess appointment and there could be a number of recess appointments in order for that to happen that the senate would have to go into temporary recess. that has happened in the past. but it's never happened when the president's requested it. and if donald trump request the senate to go into recess, you could then put matt gaetz in

for up to a tulsa. gather enough for year. pete had that headset. these folks that are, if you will, somewhat controversial, they could serve for up to a year in a recess appointment. and then let's say there's another recess. you could appoint them for another year. so this could really become an interesting kind of predicament because it's unclear that matt gaetz would get not a vote of his colleagues in the house. you can't get that, but he won't get vote of many republicans in the senate, even though many of them are fearful of donald trump. this is a very interesting highly controversial appointment today. john bolton, formerly with the trump administration, was quoted today saying >>the in one word fealty that it's not a test of loyalty. these are not trump loyalists, but it's fealty, which is an old term futile. >>yeah. but if you look at what has happened for the appointments so far, they have been loyalists. they've been folks that stuck up for donald trump in an impeachment stuck up for donald trump relative to january 6th. and then the

question arises. you know, what's he going to do relative to the charges? the charges will go away and jack smith will be out as we all know already. and that means that the january 6, folks, those been icteteteted and are servin time. they'll be pardoned and then they'll you know, a photo-op in the white house with donald trump there front and center. so i mean, this is the spoils of what happens. elections have consequences. we see that going on. and donald trump beginning today really is pushing the envelope. i mean, given example, the gates appointment, the announcement comes 35 minutes after he leaves the white house meeting with president biden and president biden's chief of staff. that timing is not by accident. and obviously it is about gates and his loyalty. but it's really more than that. it's also kind of thumbing your nose back at your critics and asking them, what are you going to do? and that's an element here. that's hugely important. i would say the outstanding appointment that we don't know about yet with a couple different rumors with treasury secretary. the

reason that's important is bedonald trump needs to revisit his tax cuts that expire in january. the government runs out of money on december, 21st. all right. january as well. bt limit in >>what elon musk going to actually do and have you heard anything in the past week from the democratic party as a whole? that has been something that hurt your ears. >>well, i mean, elon musk is going to serve a role outside the government. but how long that lasts will be interesting to to watch. here's why it's going to be a lot billionaires that flowed in and out of trump administration. part 2 as they float in and out of there. there's going be a lot of egos that clash on the east coast and with finance money, high finance money and in manhattan. and with folks li elon musk, the richest man in the world, how long that cope ascetic relationship last. what does that look like for a coupof months? that probably gives them a short period of time 6 to 8 months where everyone can get a long before those egos clash. and then you look at what democrats will do. what democrats will do is i'll try

long gator move out the calendar and that's where things like the tax cut reauthorization from 2017. a number of loopholes have to be cut are closed revisited like our indie research and development tax credits, but also how large that tax cut is going to be in terms of contributing to the deficit. it will contribute between 7 8 trillion at the low end and 9 or 10 trillion at the high. and you can easily easily raise the u.s. deficit by a 3rd because of these tax cuts. and republicans are go hard into that fair so while we've talked a lot about immigration, we talked a lot about what could potentially happen there with border security rounding people up that takes a bit of time to do if you're going to have 100 day plan, what you really have about a 45 or 15 a plan because of thecalendar begins to take over and move last that's an element that pay attention after january 20th. that's david our producers saying. we need to wrap. but i do need to get an answer from you on this. trump today is teasing about a run for a 3rd

term. >>yes, constitutional unlikely to and there's a long way between and 2020 okay. good short site where the political science department at sonoma state university. david mcewan, always appreciate your time.

president elect trump return to washington wednesday to meet with president biden. the 2 men in the oval office and the white house says the leaders met for about 2 hours. administration officials describe the meetings as cordial and gracious saying they address a wide range of topics, including national security and domestic policy kron four's dan lotus and vicki liviakis spoke with the chair of theitical science department at sonoma state. david mcewan to discuss this all further. >>is it a risky move by gates

to step down and why is his nomination in particular so polarizing? >>yeah, i mean, he's so nominations up to this point have been so much what you would expect. i mean, marco rubio is a guy who will be fine. it state that the kind of been nurses are stronger appointments in that regard. but if you look at gates case of someone who's been under investigation by the doj has been under an ethics by colleagues in congress. is someone who has had difficulty getting along as well with his colleagues, particularly in the republican caucus. when you look at that, he's a gwho upset or, throw overboard kind of a car thief. and there's been a number of people who don't like matt gaetz in the freedom caucus on on his side. and it's not clear confirmed by the senate. so tha resort ariza recess appointment and there could be a number of recess appointments in order that to happen that the senate would have to go into

temporary recess. that has happened in the past. but it's never happened when the president's requested it. and if donald trump request the senate to go into recess, you could then put matt gaetz in for up to a year tulsa. gather enough for year. pete had that headset. these folks that are, if you will, somewhat controversial, they could serve for up to a year in a recess appointment. and then let's say there's another recess. you could apapapapappoi for another year. so this could really become an ininininteresting kind of predicament because it's unclear that matt gaetz would get not a vote of his colleagues in the house. you can't get that, but he won't get vote of many republicans in the senate, even though many of them are fearful of donald trump. this is a very interesting highly controversial appointment today. john bolton, formerly with the tdministration, was quoted today saying >>in one word fealty that it's not a test of loyalty. these are not trump loyalists, but it's fealty, which is an old term futile.

>>yeah. if you look at what has happened for the appointments so far, they have been loyalists. they've been folks that stuck up for donald trump in an impeachment stuck up for donald trump relative to january 6th. and then the question arises. you know, what's he going to do relative will go away and jack smith will be out as we all know already. and that means that the january 6, it folks, those been convicted and are serving time. they'll be pardoned and then they'll you know, a photo-op in the white house with donald trump there front and center. so i mean, this is the spoils of what happens. elections have consequences. we see that going on. and donald trump beginning today really is pushing the envelope. i mean, given example, the gates appointment, the announcement comes 35 minutes after he leaves the white house meeting with president biden and president biden's chief of staff. that timing is not by accident. and obviously it is about gates and his loyalty. but it's really more than that. it's also kind of thumbing your nose back at

your critics and asking them, what are you going to do? and that's an element here. that's hugely important. i would say the outstanding appointment that we don't know about yet with a couple different rumors. it would be treasury secretary. the reason that's important is because donald trump needs to revisit his tax cuts that expire in january. the government runs out of money on december, 21st. all right. and we hit the debt in january as well. >>what elon musk going to actually do and have you heard anything in the past week from the democratic party as a whole? that has been something that hurt your ears. >>well, i mean, elon musk is going to serve a role outside the government. but how long that lasts will be interesting to to watch. here's why there's going to be a lot billionaires that flowed in and out of trump adration. part 2 as they float in and out of there. there's going be a lot of egos that clashthe east coast and with finance money, high finance money and in manhattan. and with folks like elon musk, the richest man in the world, how long that cope

ascetic relationship last. what does that look like for a couple of months? that probably gives them a short period of time 6 to 8 months where everyone can get a long before those egos clash. and then you look at what democrats will do. what democrats will do is i'll try long gator move out the calendar and that's where things like the tax cut reauthorization from 2017. a number of loopholes have to be cut are closed revisited like our indie research and development tax credits, but also how large that tax cut is going to be in terms of contributing to the deficit. it will contribute between 7 8 trillione lololololow end and 9 or 10 trillion at the high. and you can easily easily raise the u.s. deficit by a 3rd because of these tax cuts. and republicans are go hard into that fair went so well. we've talked a lot about immigration. we talked a lot about what could potentially happen there with border security rounding people up that takes a bit of time to do if you're going to have 100 day plan, what you really have about a 45 or 15 a plan because of the calendar begins to take over and move last

year. that's an element that pay attention after january. 20th is david our producers saying. we need to wrap. but i do need to get an answer from you on this. trump today is teasing about a run for a 3rd term. >>yes, constitutional unlikely to and there's a long way between now and 2020 okay. good short site where the political science department at sonoma state university. david mcewan, always appreciate your time. >>kron 4 news will continue our top headlines from the bay and beyond and a couple of minutes. we'll be right back
