my sources tonight both used to work for the president elect and erin perrine and sarah mathews join ow. erin, as you look at this, you know, it's kind of been this rapid fire process to to get these nominees named. they're trying to get a lot of it done by the end of this week. i've heard for the for the major roles. but, you know given what you just heard there i imagine that kind of infighting process vying for jobs sounds pretty familiar to to you there's always competitiveness going into a new administration or a second term to an administration that wouldn't be any different. >> the difference here is donald trump. he's already been in the white house once before. those who maybe would have gotten in in the previous administration might not get a role this time because he understands a bit more of how the buildings function and what it takes to run a cabinet and an administration. but with the the choice today for lutnick at commerce, that is a very big role. there was reporting about treasury, but there is a lot that gets covered in the commerce jurisdiction, including the olym

sellers, republican strategist and former director of communications for the 2020 trump campaign, erin perrine, and professor at the university of baltimore school of law, kim whaley. thank you all for being with us. erin, first to you. there's obviously an argument to be made for making the government more efficient. i do wonder if targeting individual federal workers is the most efficient way to do that. is it even appropriate i think that we all know the answer to that is no. >> it's not appropriate doxxing people. we're seeing it on both sides right now. right you're seeing members of the trump cabinet that are being targeted that swatted, that they're having bomb threats called to their house. and then we're putting out the names of federal employees. true. all of that is publicly available. but even in the small world that i've worked in, it's sometimes not that small. i've received online threats. it's not fun. it's not okay. it makes you uncomfortable. it makes you nervous. it makes you wonder if that person in the crowd is somebody who might know who you are and who hates you. it gets

also, former deputy assistant attorney general elliot williams and republican strategist erin perrinee one person from florida who has not been tapped to be part of the incoming trump administration but, you know, pam bondi, i know pam bondi very well. >> i don't want to cause her harm. listen, pam bondi like many other republicans, is a mainstream republican who turned maga. she was attorney general of florida for eight years. i will tell you, she is not an ogre she is not a jerk. she's not a person who purposely wants to come across as being you know, the kind of person that that matt gaetz wants to come across as being. she has been an early loyalist of donald trump back in the 2016 primaries, she was a loyalist of him, even though jeb bush and marco rubio were running. i think with pam bondi, he gets loyalty, which he which matters a lot to him and she hasn't committed statutory rape or been accused of it. she hasn't been accused of sexual assault. she hasn't sawed the head off a whale or stabbed a dead bear cub. so all in all, i'd say she's one of the better picks um, this is me.

erin perrine, republican strategist and former director of press communications for trump's 2020 campaign. errol louis, cnn political commentator and host of the big deal with errol louis on spectrum and jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuters erin, i actually want to start with you because i think for a long time we tried to understand what a so-called trump doctrine is or what the kind of what defines him politically when it comes to the economy is. it basically tariffs? >> no, it's much more than that. but he's been very clear that he considers this an opening offer and a negotiation. right. it's the art of the deal. this is kind of always been donald trump's ethos but he did implement them at one point. >> right? he did. so it's not as though it's like couldn't happen. >> no. it's true. he did. and but you've also seen canada immediately reach out to the to president elect trump. and him and trudeau spoke about being able to address the issues coming across the northern border of the united states. he's clearly had conversations when donald trump levies the threat of tariffs

probably the main legal question, she ought to be questioning, ought to be pushed on. >> you know, erin perrine, you heard kaitlan collins say it before all of our reporters on capitol hill basically saying that republicans up there are relieved they're just like, you know, a cloud has been lifted. they feel that pam bondi is a much better choice than gaetz a solid choice. they feel better about her confirmation. do you agree? >> i think republicans feel much better about pam bondi's confirmation chances than they do about matt gaetz. and i think speaker johnson is probably excited that he doesn't have another house member getting scooped up with such a thin majority going into the next congress. pam has the experience and should be able to handle a confirmation process well. this is almost a double edged sword, though, with which you get for the trump team. she has a lot of footage out there. she's taken a lot of political positions, and she's been very relevant in the news. so that makes her a good messenger. she not only as a prosecutor, but being able to litigate in the court of public opin

let's bring in california assembly woman elect alexandra macedo and acxiom strategies erin perrine. thank you for coming on. to you first, aaron, senator said this about what a matt gaetz hearing might look like. he said "i mean cavanaugh on steroids. i think he's a smart guy, i'm sure he realizes that cavanaugh on steroids, what do you think, erin? >> i think that the senator's right. it will be theatrics at it's finest and you will see democrats likely try and overplay their home -- hand to stop this nomination. democrats continue to use verbose and gross language instead of talking to the american people straight. this should be the serious process of advising consent in the senate and not one about hysterics. this is a very important role as attorney general in the united states and it should be treated as such and not for somebody like a senator to have his spartacus moment, for them to get clicks. they need to take the job seriously and donald trump deserves to have his cabinet treated as such. >> trace: but you know a lot of them will not do that. meantime "the new york times

threats against trump allies let's bring in former white house deputy comes director roma daravi and erin perrine of axiom strategies. we were talking and the break there, this is a very serious and frankly scary thing to have happen, talking about swatting. >> and it's a dangerous situation as well. not only are you putting law enforcement at risk because you are sending them into a situation where they believe there's a threat against an individual or family so they are mobilizing as much as they can to address what they believe is a critical issue. not only is it hard on resources in hard on the officers, but it's hard on communities, hard on neighbors, hard on families every time anything like this happens. if it's a foreign adversary or some kid with too much time on his hands. you hope whoever does this is brought to justice quickly. >> kevin: spot on. you are right, they shut down blocks. sometimes your whole neighborhood in the circumstance. it can be scary. roma, let me get you to react to this, this idea that there was polling that made them think they were in really good shape. that wa

senior director neera huck, former director of press communications for the trump 2020 campaign, erin perrine, and senior political correspondent for pac tara palmieri. good to have all of you ladies here. i'll begin with you, erin. look, the denver mayor says that he's going to cooperate with deporting criminals, but using strong arm tactics, strong arm tactics, and to to raid work places and round up migrants and kids will be met with resistance. how will this all go down? >> i think he's being a bit hyperbolic when he's talking about children being pulled off of soccer fields and people out of restaurants and their jobs as of this point, the trump administration has been clear their plan is to go after those who have already had their process adjudicated in the united states and have been ordered to be deported at this point, those people should be forced out of the united states because they've had their process done. those who have violent felonies or violent convictions here in the united states, i think everybody can agree those are people. if they're here illegally in the united state

i should say, erin perrine. kerry, let's start with you. these are not only some serious allegations against gaetz but also the evidence that's been collected against him that we've reported on leads to the question of why the department of justice, if they had this information, these venmo payments, why didn't they press charges against him? >> well, the justice department obviously conducted an investigation, but they have standards that they have to go to, and those standards are supposed to apply equally to people, and they have to do with the fact of whether or not, in the judgment of the prosecutors, they think that they would be able to actually succeed at trial and a conviction. and that's the standard that they're supposed to apply equitably. and and so in this particular case, they made the decision not to go forward. now different people might look at that evidence and have a different view. but that's the judgment of the prosecutors. that was the judgment of the department of justice. and so in those cases, then the case is supp

the hour for the source joining us now, three republican strategists, ana navarro opinion and erin perrine ana navarro supported kamala harris this time also with us, ashley etienne who served as communications director to the vice president. um and let's start with you. i mean, johnson said he wasn't going to get involved with the the ethics report. do you think he's moving the goalpost? >> look, i think he is going to do everything he can to help donald trump get his nominees through, whether it's trying to impede the release of the ethics report, whether it's agreeing to putting the house in recess so that they can do recess appointments. he's, you know, he's he's he's complicit in this. he's his position is i'm going to help this president fill out his cabinet with his people whether they get any scrutiny and any vetting, whether there's hearings whether there's votes whether there's ethical issues, whether there's uh, criminal issues doesn't matter. i'm getting them through, joe i think that johnson is saying that he hasn't spoken to the president elect about this. >> um about the gae
