and a man stood up in front and i admonished him and he said chris christie is a fat pig.aid you cannot use the word fat. i said, sir, please sit down. chris christie is not a fat pig i said he's not a fat pig. so the press could not write about that. i was helping chris christie. and he is not a fat pig. do you agree with that? don't say. combo destroyed our economy. she was the creator of defund the police movement and anybody who wants to defund our great police for even one day or one week is not worthy of being the president. she's not worthy for a lot of other reasons too. she pledged to confiscate your guns and endorsed a total ban on handgun ownership. she even called for free sex changes for illegal aliens in detention. >> all of course at taxpayer expense. nobody minds paying the bill but with your vote this november we are going to fire, loan and we are going to save america. we are going to save america. we will cut your taxes, end inflation, cut -- we are going to do things you have never seen before. we are going to cut prices. energy brought it up and energy

brewed up by chris christie. he did not follow what chris christie back in 2016. he wound up getting people in his cabinet that he didn't really know. i remember he was asking people hey, what do you think about this job? people would go i don't know what about this person? >> is he still doing that. >> steve: he would. think time he has a list. what is he doing is looking at people who have experience but who are loyal and people who are maga aligned that does not exclude john fetterman, the senator from the great state of pennsylvania from, perhaps supporting -- he doesn't say all of the cabinet nominations but sounds like he is not going to prehate them that's the word of the day, pre-hate. watch. i'm going to have a conversation with anyone that i'm open to having part of that conversation. and there are some people that i just couldn't be able to vote for that. and some that might be enthusiastically vote yes. hey, we're going to engage int conversation. >> ainsley: mar said the same thing i'm not i'm not going to prehate. the audience laughed. they are going

we have donna brazile, former new jersey governor, chris christie, democratic congresswoman, jasmine all for being here. okay. you were for a time, the head of the transition for donald trump eight years. >> yep. >> jonathan: and even after you moved on from that job, you were still very involved. how does it compare to what's going on now? >> it's really different because, you know, think about what happened in '16. there were people coming in, being interviewed. there were people being, you know, vetted in realtime by an entire crew of former bush 43 u.s. attorneys, and you had a senior group of people who were helping to direct the president-elect on the choices to make, and i think that was p predominantly because, you know, donald trump was scared of the presidency when he got there in '16. he didn't expect to win. he didn't have a victory speech written on election night. he was not ready to go, and so when it happened, he wanted as many of those people around him as he possibly could. this time, there is no fear. >> jonathan: were you doing fbi background checks before the ele

chris christie got on cameo and infamously was asked to endorse somebody.ned to be a democrat, and it's not the first time that's happened to politicians on cameo. so even though you stand to make a lot of money, the risk is that you can get embarrassed but isn't there also a risk that you could end up selling your little hello to someone that you don't want to be selling your hello to? >> right i mean, is that a risk as well? i mean, is there any kind of screening process that you can see as you sell these things? >> yeah so the creator definitely has the ability to say yes or no to different requests, but it is hard to tell if you're going to be asked to do a message on behalf of somebody or endorsing somebody that you don't know, just to the point i had mentioned about chris christie, you can get conned, but that's careful about what they're saying in terms of their message. i've talked to the cameo ceo about this a while ago, and he said, look, we're going to let politicians come on the platform. he said, if donald trump wanted to come on the platform,

you may remember he had fired chris christie and he put mike pence in charge on november 10.ambling. th team run by linda mcmahon and how would lead to cap and putting things together for the president-elect the last several months. donald trump himself would not look at that and wouldn't have anything to do with it until today, because he is very superstitious, and he told those of us that were working on the transition last time that he wouldn't look at it until he had some level of electoral success. i do think they have got things slotted it and i think i have a lot of senior people that still like the president, guys like mike pompeo that will return to his cabinet if they are asked. different. i think the way it would be worse, if you don't mind me adding this, is that there were very sensible people coming into the administration. i'm not saying there aren't still some, but you are going to get harder right iluences on the president's time then you did in his first term. christian: before we bring in christina and mona, i want to speak about howard lutnig, a wall stree

there was a purge of chris christie loyalists.hris christie was on the top of the transition team. he was eventually pushed out. there were not that many cabinet nominees picked. now you're seeing trump one after another, methodically naming these cabinet picks. what is your takeaway of that? and the fact look, we haven't even seen trump in public. it's been a couple of days a couple of times he's actually been out in public. that's unusual for donald trump. >> it really is. >> and i think the big thing this time around is his team is just simply more prepared, right. they went into 2016 not really expecting a win. they hadn't prepared this time around. they felt like they had a solid chance to win. and we saw him tap howard lutnick and linda mcmahon to to sort of head up this transition team before the election took place. now i also believe that donald trump, this time around is extremely confident that he has the support. and so he feels emboldened to not only pick these these cabinet, make these cabinet decisions quickly, but

coming up, donna brazill, chris christie ryan previs on what the candidates are going through right now. >> robin: plus election security concerns. dan abrams is here breaking down your rights as a voter. first, good morning, ginger. >> ginger: good morning. seven reported tornados, one in little flock, arkansas, up in the ozarks. they had them in missouri, oklahoma. today it's more about the rain. we already saw 8 to 12 inches fall in parts of the ozarks. flash flood alerts are up from illinois back into arkansas. that's where it will be wet. wisconsin, michigan, indiana all getting in some rain. hawaii with some flood watches. local weather in 30 seconds. >> michael: our team is ready for the big day ahead spread out across the battleground states on this election day. u've gone. the forecast each day. your packages. and your sleep. it's time for an easy way to track your glucose. meet stelo, the powerful glucose biosensor available without a prescription, that tracks glucose 24/7 to reveal how food, exercise and even sleep can affect your glucose, helping you become a healthier you.

and you notice chris christie isn't on your campaign because he can't get that close to a salad. i don't understand why your team doesn't stop alone gotra it's a tip there should tick a disorder a speech should be able to coach or out of that i don't nothing at it or she doesn't listen something is wrong and to the point of tyrus there should be people going what around her? >> that's why she quit. if i'm on her team it's not let her talk. let her talk. >> they should have picked someone more capable of running the country like gary busey. >> greg: she feels entitled to this and doesn't know if people expect her to try. >> it could be as simple as people aren't listening when she talks. when they do videos of her. i must play them 15 times. i keep forgetting to listen each time because. who else had their mind go elsewhere during that anyone? likely play the video it starts and all of a sudden i transport to a different time zone. i don't know what happens and that is part of it but also. before this, before she was running. people were still going to vote for joe biden. people w

it's worth mentioning 80 pics controversial with trump 21 the first time around chris christie wantedo be attorney general. trump's cabinet picks are unserious but say nothing when biden had these two on board. shouldn't the media pipe down given the record of appointing weirdos on the other side? >> summer genuine but summerlike you're going to vote somebody in charge of the military who doesn't think women should fight in the military but democrats for years thought men should be boxing limits of the has to be a double standard. that lady has my luggage. [laughter] >> a lot of baggage. >> the big talk is they want to cut the department of education and send the money back to the state to address their individual needs but if they leave education, who's going to make sure kindergarten kids learn about sex changes? is going to tell 5-year-old white kids they are oppressing their black classmates? >> the department of education, people are like literally on number like maybe this isn't that -- they are crowdsourcing all of this so people commenting on their posts about crazy things we'

[cheering and applause] >> greg: yeah. good, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. it will wake the gerbils [laughter] >> greg: it's going to be on his tombstone. she's also being mocked for her resemblance to hawaii detective steve mcgerrick. the safe word is book him, dano. president biden called donald trump on his victory and apologized for his stains. later this month, the mcdonalds will bring back the mcrib at select locations. it's not exactly a harris victory, but it's close, said one woman. according to a new study, the secret to better sex is a full night's sleep. hmm, is that's why mike huckabee is smiling. [laughter] [applause]. >> greg: and finally, according to a new study, having fewer friends can actually be better for your health. in a related story, guess whose life expectancy just doubled. all right. [applause]. >>

if you remember in 2016, chris christie was running the transition. up with very traditional names for trump. trump fired him and started over with mike pence running the transition. it will be a crazy couple of months, but we should start seeing serious names for positions like white house chief of staff which doesn't need senate confirmation, treasury secretary and secretary of state are positions often filled before thanksgiving after an election so that allies and markets have some sense of what the future holds. katie: let's name some names. you think about the likes of john paulson. who are some of the other contenders that we should be keeping an eye on as they seek to fill the bench? wendy: so many. none of them are serious enough that i frankly feel comfortable going into their names. the names that you mentioned are popular names. howard ludnick himself is a popular name. there's any number of people who would take these jobs, but for now is just a parlor game of speculation. matt: thank you for joining us. probably hasn't slept a wink, so w

. >> what happened last time, they had a transition team, chris christie was heading that transitionm, he had differences, jared kushner had differences with him and took his transition report and threw it into the garbage. obviously, this is a little more orderly. now that she is empowered as chief of staff, you think she will play a larger role in this. one thing we should mention, this will mean nothing to you, anderson, a lot of people know this, pat summerall was her father, who was a great football player and kicker and broadcaster. she has been around blocking and tackling all of her life, that will be useful. >> you heard donald trump jr. say that he will be very involved in looking over the vetting process, the hiring process, loyalty , clearly, they feel they had people around the president , then president trump the last time who were trying to control his impulses. it seems like they don't want that same type of person around. >> i think susie wiles will try to do a little bit of that. he is the president, you want individuals that will serve the president and serve him w

going to win, a lot of how they were operating was, and they throughout the transition plan that chris christie had put together because of the rift between them. it's a different scenario now, he has a working transition that's putting all the pieces together, and you have a better understanding of how washington works but one of the big things i'm told that donald trump has focused on in these conversations with people over the last 48 hours is how he won the popular vote and what that means moving forward. we know donald trump wanted to win the popular vote. he was upset in 2016 when people said his win was a fluke when he won the electoral college but now he's telling people that he believes he has a mandate because this means the american people stand behind some of the policies that he had put forward on the campaign trail mainly, when it comes to economy and immigration. we are already seeing the wheels turning on what they want to do in terms of economy and immigration. of course, as we know, he is likely to control the house and he will control the senate so anything that needs to go t

the day chris christie complains it is 364 days until next to the thanksgiving. but today i worked hard to get rid of 218 pounds. that's right, i put my aunt bernice back on a bus to pennsylvania. sources are denying that 50-year-old leonardo dicaprio is engaged to his 26-year-old model girlfriend. that makes sense, why would he marry someone that old? and why would she marry someone that old? a rutgers university study suggest diversity, equity, and inclusion programs can actually heighten racial tensions. supporters of those programs said, good, it's working. the attempted mar-a-lago trump assassin had points published from a letter he scent to "politico", that's got to hurt. that "politico" wants to hear what an attempted assassin has to say but not keith. >>> catelyn gender and a run to replace gavin newsom as governor of california, promising to reduce legal immigration, fight crime and open stubborn jars of pickles. the world's oldest man has died at the age of 112. even more impressive than his age of course, was the way he died. during sex. nield the gras

attacking trump they've been persecuting him and ripping into him for eight years and even heard from chris christiecast, and then maybe spine the cars in the sky stuff but you know time magazine reports of traditional mainstream media is the biggest loser of the election and the funny thing is that a lot of the mainstream media agrees that yes, they have derailed. >> yes and are going to develop for about another 24 — 36 hours no one to be right back at it trying to undermine donald trump and tell you that he is a racist and a sailor and anybody picked to be his cabinet is worse than he is that this is what dictators do and how they set up their governments and then in the end of the day don't fall for in the media are not nice people and they have not been changed okay on election night and stuff like that somehow woke up come into the american people in the serve them in the wrong way, maybe we should have just called the balls and strikes reported the actual news but they are going to try to undermine donald trump every single chance they get. every some of the way, this baby because somebody de

should have happened four years ago but that election was about as secure as the sex swing in chris christie's. it is like the whole country is transitioning except we are getting our balls back. [applause] see, we all want stuff but there is a point when you have to decide yes, i am going to make my bed, yes, i am doing push-ups, yes i'm finally getting that one direction, to laser it off my back. and selling it on ebay. so this was more than just an election, it is a transformational moment, like jackie robinson allowed to play major league baseball or woman being allowed to vote, or omar saying i do to her brother. we decided as a country to move forward and that means no more blaming the people today for the misdeeds of her -- their ancestors. that is like arresting my great grandparents because i am criminally good-looking. >> that's good. >> greg: the dams were looking backward while doing things ass backward. and they got dumped like i did with taylor swift. you would do, she snores like andre the giant with a sinus infection. but so many people are taking this personally as if it is a

. >> i think that elizabeth warren is to the 2020 election what chris christie was for the 2016 election. i think that she can paint earlier, she would've been able to campaign that can dig and see in the democratic party at least for this to the left. >> that's a 12:00 noon show on fox. what happened after that? >> was on the november 2009?'s mike yes. >> i don't -- my clients testified that they went to new york in january of 2019. so i'm not sure -- i'm not sure that is a right-click. i just saw that. but they did testify that they observed -- i'm sorry, that they traveled up to new york, he received a tour of the facility with representative. >> then what you fox like that sort of thing. >> exactly. that sort of thing. and they received a tour, and they waited in the essential greenroom. afterwards, they went out to a show later on. >> did he introduce them to people working at fox? >> that actually was a question that the house had, and they didn't recall being introduced anyone. >> and so in that interstate travel, it did not involve anyone under the age of 17 ? >> that is correct.

he did the old "chris christie is not a fat pig" routine.learned that jeffrey epstein said he was trump's best friend for ten years. i still don't understand how this race is so close. this is like ordering a coke and the waiter says, "is gasoline okay?" we heard a bombshell audio tape in which jeffrey epstein said he was trump's closest friend and shares a bunch of crazy stories, barely moves the needle. remember when mitt romney went down because he put a dog carrier on the roof of his car? we just got a hundred hours of jeffrey epstein saying he and trump were bffs, and i didn't even get an alert about it on my phone. i got no texts on this. the daily beast published audio clips from interviews epstein did with the writer michael wolff, who took his sweet time releasing this stuff. epstein said trump told him he likes to have sex with the wives of his best friends to the point where epstein described trump as having no moral compass. do you know what kind of a lowlife you have to be, for jeffrey epstein to say you have no moral compass? i

>> steve: chris christie was there, jeb bush. everybody.t was so effective, the producers -- we came back to new york and they go, we've got to do more of that. and we have done it ever since, because it is the best way to see what america is saying. >> ainsley: brian started outliving them and now he loves it even more. >> lawrence: you rarely see him but you will see him. >> i met the sweet spot in north carolina >> good morning, steve, brian, ainsley, and lawrence. welcome to one of the big swing states today. i was listening to pete in wisconsin talking to young men about the way they are voting. brock is 16 years old so he's not yet a voter but he is already telling me some of the issues most important to you. >> my major concern is allowing boys and women's bathrooms. it really concerns me. we have regulations for a reason and that is for safety and protection of privacy for both boys and women, and it is a concern. we need to take care of this. >> pete was mentioning -- or one of his diners was mentioning that the male cohort, it's s

. >> i think that elizabeth warren is to the 2020 election what chris christie was to the 2016 election. i think had she campaigned earlier, she would have been able to coalesce that key constituency within the democratic party that leans farthest to the left. >> so, that is the 12:00 noon show on fox. what happened after that? >> was that in november of 2019? >> yes. >> okay. i don't -- my clients testified that they went to new york in january of 2019. so, i'm not sure that is the right clip. >> okay. >> i just saw that on there. >> yeah. >> but, they did testify that they traveled up to new york, they received a tour of the facility with congressman gaetz. >> at fox? they went to fox while he was doing a fox appearance like that sort of thing? >> exactly. exactly that sort of thing. and they received a tour, and they waited in a greeting room, and afterwards, they went out to a show later on. >> did he introduce them to the people working at fox? >> that actually was a question that the house had and they didn't recall being introduced to anyone of note. >> and so, in that interstate

meanwhile, chris christie ate a cake that said cake. yes. richard gere, the actor, has sold his connecticut home for $11 million after revealing that he's leaving the united states. yeah, here it comes. good. and don't let the door hit you in the on the way out. it'll wake the gerbils. it's going to be on his tombstone. what's he going to do? rachel maddow is being mocked for warning the u.s. that it was headed for an autocratic government. she's also being mocked for her startling resemblance to hawaii detective steve mcgarrett. the safe word is book em, danno. earlier this week, president biden called donald trump to congratulate him on his victor. he also apologized for the stains in the lincoln bedroom. the situation room, the oval office and most of the west wing. later this month, mcdonald's will bring back the mcrib at select locations. it's not exactly a harris victory, but it's close, said one woman. according to a new study, the secret to better sex is a full night's sleep. so that's why mike huckabee is smiling. ha ha ha. yeah, it

and we're seeing that, but the part that's not being said out loud as much is something that chris christieed earlier, and that's among independents and some voters on the right who are sick and tired of it all, and who in particular, are still upset at the former president's attacks against our popular governor here, republican governor, brian kemp. many people say if trump loses on election night, it will in part, be because of his attacks against brian kemp at a rally earlier this year, george. >> george: an extraordinarily early vote in georgia. >> yes. so far about 4 million people have voted. when you compare that to 2020, we were looking at a total of 5 million votes. it's an incredible number, but i talked can republican officials earlier late last week who said there are good numbers they're seeing. if you look at the counties who have voted the highest turnout has been in deep red, in trump country. they lead the list. the problem is that's not where most of the people who vote and live in this state are. they are in counties like this one i'm in, a majority black county, one of t

i mean, in 2016 it was chris christie who was running the 2016 transition operation and he was fired two days after donald trump won the presidency. they all but started from scratch. there were folks coming up and down the trump tower escalator, pretty much everybody in the book from kanye west on down was making their way to the trump tower to meet with donald trump. this go around for the last four years there were a litany of individuals, more than 100 plus, who have all but been preparing for a would be second trump administration. there were dozens of staffers that created this organization, america first policy institute, that organization was comprised of staffers from -- as well as former cabinet officials -- from across trump's first administration who began working at this nonprofit organization, they began developing more than 200 executive orders that the former president would be able to sign on day one. they created white papers, not only on policy, but also how departments and agencies can be better efficiently run in order to advance their policy agenda. of course, t

he entered office eventually in 2017 point he had thrown out the entire transition plan from chris christie when he won the presidency in 2016 because of their falling out. they were starting essentially from zero. i talked to somebody who talks to donald trump regularly today, who said the big focus for truck is not doing what he did in 2016, it is also about how he chooses personnel. they said he is taking this responsibility very seriously. obviously, loyalty is something that is important to him, but also looking at people who he believes will execute what he wants done. he says he thinks he made a mistake the first time around, he wishes he hadn't relied on our side groups in washington to help influence his decisions and he doesn't want to do that again, so a lot of the conversations they're having are donald trump walking through various people and what exactly is their role would look like, what they have done in the past, and his relationship with them, obviously spending a lot of time on this. we are told some of these positions could come as early as this week. the most notable o

organized by chris christie, and in the days after that surprising 2016 victory, they threw it all out the window and started from scratch. we will see if that is the case here. just a remarkable moment to have that conversation between donald trump and vice president kamala harris, even if it was just a few moments. >> if my memory serves correctly, i think they threw chris christie's transition plan in the garbage can. thank you so much for that reporting. i appreciate it. i want to move here to talk about what we expect in moments from vice president harris. boris sanchez, former republican congressman, adam kinzinger, who supported vice president harris. jamaal simmons, former communications director for harris. thank you so much. >> it's great, thank you for having me. we are happy. >> can you sell it a little better? >> i want to go to the beginning of what caitlin collins was reporting and sit on that for a second, and that is, we cannot take for granted anymore the notion that a person, who loses the presidency picks up the phone and calls the person who won to concede and say,

should have happened four years ago, but that election was about as secure as the sex swing in chris christie's bedroom. oh my god, it's like the whole country's transitioning, except we're getting our balls back. see, we all want stuff, but there's a point when you have to decide, yes, i'm going to make my bed. yes, i'm doing push ups. yes, i'm finally getting that one direction tattooed laser off my back, then selling it on ebay. so this was more than just an election. it's a transformational moment. like jackie robinson allowed to play major league baseball or women being allowed to vote, or ilhan omar saying, i do to her brother. we decided as a country to move forward, and that means no more blaming the people today for the misdeeds of their ancestors. that's like arresting my great grandparents, because i'm criminally good looking. the dems were looking backward while doing things backward, and they got dumped like i did with taylor swift. you would too. she snores like andre the giant with a sinus infection. but so many people are taking this personally, as if it's a rejection of their e

charles kushner was prosecuted in the early 2000 by none other than the former new jersey governor, chris christie, at the time, he was a u.s. attorney prosecuting this case, and he convicted charles kushner on a series of federal crimes. donald trump actually pardoned charles kushner in 2020. now he is naming him to be his ambassador to france. so just another sign of sometimes how donald trump is really keeping a lot of this in the family. fred and i like your play on words a cushy post for kushner. >> all right, elena jenin, thank you so much. all right. still ahead, it's easy to shop until you drop when you're swimming in black friday deals. but all that buying is taking a toll on planet earth. the new documentary exposing retail overconsumption there are amazing things that are happening all over the world, things that can make our lives better. >> that's the goal of my podcast to try and find the secrets to a longer and happier and healthier life, and then we bring those secrets to you. listen to chasing life wherever you get your podcasts. >> i am tony hawk and like many of you, i take a st

press" exec sieve editor, julie pace, and former new jersey governor and presidential candidate, chris christieof unity we're hearing from trump and vivek ramaswamy and all that, and let's turn to the democrats, if you don't mind, donna. there's been a lot of soul searching, questioning what comes next. i want to read you one of the things. ritchie torres, congressman from new york, democrat said this after the election. donald trump has no greater friend than the far left which has managed to alienate historic numbers of latinos, blacks, asians, and jews. the working class is not buying the ivory towered nonsense that the far-left is selling. is that a factor here, donna? >> you know, jonathan, if you ask ten democrats what happened, i'm sure you will receive 12 opinions, and the truth is we should put it all on the table and have a great introspection as to what happened. what happened in new jersey when chris and i were sitting there on election night. i'm looking at chris, like, hey. what's going on? and what was going on in minnesota? what was going on of course, in massachusetts and rhode

governor chris christie was selected to lead the effort and he did an admirable job.hey treated it very seriously and thoroughly. unfortunately, two days after the election, not only was governor chris christie fired, but more importantly the large part of the work that his team had put together was effectively pushed to the side. and they knew trump team fundamentally was unable to either catch up or really understand key processes that would have enabled them to again, take charge of the government more effectively and quickly. the end result of that was the slowest vetting selection and nomination of an incoming administration in modern history. and we, thankfully there was no obvious national security risk that occurred, but it could have happened. that is 2016. fast-forward forward to today, the trump team did not announce its leadership until much later, essentially the end of summer and the beginning of fall. this was a different situation because you had two competing operations in the nonprofit sector. heritage and project 2025, and the american first broad -

but what's notable about that, as well as chris christie, was actually the prosecutor who brought those charges against charles kushner. then he was the u.s. attorney in that case that's also something that christie has since argued. he had kind of gave responsibility for, for losing some of his standing early on in the first administration due to that his involvement. and so some interesting dynamics there. but, yes charles kushner, his son in law's father, now being given this really big coast, but also one that is viewed by many people as one of the spots that they would like in an administration. jessica. >> all right alayna treene for us in west palm beach, thank you for that reporting. and joining us now, democratic strategist and former white house director of messaging planning under president biden megan hayes. and republican strategist and former white house spokesperson under president george w. bush. pete seat good to see both of you hello. hi, pete. i want to start first with you, and let's go back to the tariffs that we were talking about. there what do you make? i mean, l

sloppy chris christie recommended some people and i wouldn't have used him had i known. on people and by the way, you know, i hate -- in a way i hate talking about this because we had mostly great people. think of it, we had the greatest economy in the history of our country. rerebuilt the entire u.s. military, we defeated isis and we had no wars. we have the best economy in the history of the country. i took in billions of billions of taxes in tariffs from china. i mean, we had an unbelievably successful administration. we were energy independent. we didn't need anybody's energy. we had so much oil we didn't know what to do with it. >> now take a look, four years ago we were energy independent and today we are taking tar from venezuela. you have to heat the hell out of it. more heat it than it does sell it. but we are going venezuela, think of it, venezuela was like the enemy. we are now giving -- a month ago they foreclosed on his plane but they give him billions of dollars and he said, that's okay, he's going the buy a much better plane with the money we give him but

. >> george: let's bring in donna brazile, chris christie, reince priebus. reince, let me begin with you. this was even more sweeping than you predicted yesterday. what is the mandate now for donald trump? >> i predicted he would be over 300 electoral votes. i predicted it would be 304, 310. i'm not surprised what happened. the mandate is massive because it was one of the biggest victories in modern political history, maybe one of the biggest political victories in our lifetime. the reason it was so massive was that he created a diverse blue collar coalition in this country made up of hispanic voters, black voters, asian voters. it was across the board. it wasn't just a ground game thing. the ground game was pretty good on the early vote, as we talked about. he came reasonably close in new jersey, in minnesota, in new mexico. there was no ground game there. people heard what donald trump was preaching and people in this country liked it. and they rejected the policies of kamala harris and joe biden. and there was no room for her in this debate. i mean, he's

. >> well, the last time he did fire his transition chair in the end, chris christie and put mike pencejob. but, yes, again, this is a person who mused openly about ruling as an autocrat, and so really important that norms and institutions, you know, are able to stand and this kind of behavior is this slippery slope, right? it is a lack of accountability, we don't know where the money is coming from, so we don't know who, you know, how any of it is working. these ethics -- these ethics, you know, rules are in place for a reason. >> they're in place for a reason, so you have an understanding of who has weight in the u.s. government, also a reason that the fbi background check, that weaves into this conversation. it is a consequence of his not having signed this memo of agreement. i want you to take a listen to what barbara mcquade had to say about that. i'm sorry, the process is designed to screen out candidates who are not suitable for high level decision-making positions because of problems such as addiction, psychological disorders, history of committing sexual abuse, a nominee with f

in 2016, it was chris christie being fired, disappointments because he appointed globalists to differente getting more names more quickly and there seems to be more agreement and more certainty and more trump allies suggests, at least for these markets, that trump has priorities and will be able to get them through. maybe that is part of what we are seeing, this animal spirit reawakened. annmarie: and personnel is policy, which is why i am focused on who he picks her treasury secretary. the betting markets think it will be scott bessent, who runs a macro hedge fund. other names like robert lighthizer, what would that mean in terms of trade? would it be market negative because it is a very antagonistic approach on china? i think it is a market endorsement potentially first scott bessent. donald trump is paying attention to poly market because he is tweeting about it. we have to wait. senate majority leader could be one of the next to come, and we may see it in a tryst post. remarks from fed chair jay powell on thursday, just one week after the fomc cut rates by another 25. basis points fo

. >> at this point in 2016 lumina of self -- discussing chris christie leaving.of the treasury secretary. how was that race shaping up? >> i'm glad you ask about that because we have to some news this morning from our colleagues that key advisors the president-elect trump are leaning toward scott percent. and he is of course, he runs the money. he has also been a staunch supporter of donald trump through the campaign. not only their fundraising, but writing briefing papers and speeches for the former president campaign. and he has been there really at this kind of anchor when it comes to the thinking about discussing economic policy. yesterday, he published an article in the wall street journal, an op-ed that pointed how markets were embracing the new version of economics under trump 2.0, that the administration would like to deploy his policy. and then of course something that would endear himself to the president-elect, even had a line in that saying the dollar loves you. and that is exactly the kind of thing that will win him, when trump over, but also, trump

chris ends. thanks a lot. well, india has cooled out europe's own going. your book? christy. when it comes to russia, the new delhi foreign ministers rejected the latest demands and relations with most good, having one of a to these most read newspapers. but the units, the practice, what it preaches, of the priorities of europe will naturally differ from those of countries in asia or africa, or latin america. if everything is a matter of such a deep principle, then europe itself should have cut off all its business with russia. but it doesn't do that. europe was importing energy from russia, europe, it then started diverting to other producers and that put pressure on the market. so what are we supposed to do? pay higher prices just to make you happy. life is about respecting other people's interests. not about having everything your way. well, the indian foreign minister doctor is a shawn. claudia, in the interview with the daily that you tell you and d. c spoke about, are these things off questions on and naturally, but not surprisingly, the questions of all the north aroun
