many with these cabinets. but some of the state, as capital of culture commits, has received 50000000 euros in funding. invested primarily in projects to bring people together. so we have a couple of culture, can be a unique shown to turn things around to, to have a different message to, to revise the cities to refer them to succeed and to, to make it more resilient. actually, i can start it was precisely because of the right thing, marches a few years ago and cabinets. one of the been together with the commission to develop a culture of doing a creative climate where citizens can make a difference a democracy climate. and indeed, the people who we met here, i determined not to abandon cabinets to the right. we can popular shape it together regardless of their origin cabinet cabinets as a city full of potential. that's not yet been exhausted. and it's up to us what we do with it. i'm afraid of my submission come. this is above all kind of cabinets. it's multi faceted commission. has come cabinets, has a place

and for the cabinet, is it fair to call them the perfidious cabinet? it's totally fair. i love that i will be stealing it in future talks. you know, i mean, borderline treason. yeah, they got close. so did jefferson, too, by the way, who was vice president at the time? you know, i think what's really interesting is that at various points in time, the cabinet secretaries articulated a different version of what the executive could look like. so they said they were articulating a vision of a cabinet that had shared authority with the president, meaning they could pursue different policies if they believed different policies were the right choice because they had a share of executive power, which is not unlike what the british cabinet turned into, but was very much not what washington had created. and interestingly, they had not articulated that when washington was in office. so they started articulating it when adams was in office and he was fighting for an executive that was much more in line with what washington had had done in when he was in office and i would say it was

, the security cabinet, and the white, a cabinet that, you know, everything will happen according to the outline. meaning that a real c, a c for a on sunday, and a 1st release of the hostages also on sunday. so just to be clear, amazing, well, secure with the cabinet that's going on that you need to approve this and pass it onto the, the full government that is already meeting. so these 2 meetings a going on at the same time. this looks like good news, or if they're not at the same time, that will be one of the, of the, of the 1st, the security covenant has to vote. and then this will be then a, put to the white, a cabinet. then they have a to vote of, but again, it wasn't clear when the why the cabinet will come together. and then we have another procedural process. that means after these votes of being done, and if everything is pos, and as you said, the house been opposition, we're expecting the fall right parties and possibly others to vote against this deal. but so that's the expectation investors. any surprise that the deal will go through would be about to 5, so to speak of th

trr talk into the on in the cabinet meeting. trr talk ir be :he on in the cabinet meeting.ed to the might be linked to the philadelphia corridor which is a piece of land which is effectively the border between egypt and the southern part of the gaza strip which israel controls at the moment. we simply do not know and hamas is denied making any additional demands and it's actually making the point that it feels that this point is been raised by the israeli government as a distraction from the clear divisions that exist within prime minister benjamin netanyahu's administration over this cease—fire deal. it’s netanyahu's administration over this cease-fire deal.— this cease-fire deal. it's an extraordinary _ this cease-fire deal. it's an extraordinary turn - this cease-fire deal. it's an extraordinary turn of - this cease-fire deal. it's an | extraordinary turn of events and we always think it's not there until it is there because there until it is there because there are several false starts over recent months and last night we also thought it was over the line and in the 59t

so if the security cabinet says yes to the cx, 5 deal today, what happens next? you know, there has been a lot of uncertainty actually in the past i was a about a, you know, whether then the full cabinet will be meeting straight after this is what is necessary then from the secure to cabinet. then the full a cabinet government, a covenant will then a convene and then they will be another, a debate about this and another vote expecting also a, some of the covenant been members that and this has been, you know, discuss to back and forth to vote against and maybe mainly from the far right parties, but still this, the expectation that this would pos and we understand that this meeting has now been set also for this afternoon. uh, as i said, to have been some back and forth about that as the uncertainty whether it will be still happening today or that will be happening on saturday nights optis about. but that has been a decision that this will be happening now just an hour before so about begins about this if the jews recon to you and for some of the ministers that ar

two cabinet ministers in israel have threatened to resign if the cabinet votes through the deal.hey say they will not actually withdraw from government altogether unless the israeli government actually refuses to continue the war in gaza after the first phase of the ceasefire deal expires. they want israel to continue the war in gaza despite having signed that ceasefire agreement will stop earlier i spoke to gideon leavy, a journalist, author and columnist at an israeli newspaper. iasked author and columnist at an israeli newspaper. i asked what his assessment was of the political bind that benjamin netanyahu is in. the first phase will be approved, no doubt about it. the right—wingers are threatening, and maybe one of them will even quit to the government, on the condition that if the war will be renewed, he will be back. but for the very short time i think nothing can stop the first phase. i guess the first hostages will be released on monday, not on sunday, because of some bureaucratic questions in israel. but in any case i am quite confident that the first phase is on its way

but the, the security cabinet as a whole vote yes, but this is just the security cabinet. it's not the final approval, right? exactly. but the majority and the security capital i mentioned majority in the full cabinet and the majority in parliament in favor of this. the issue putting up in yahoo is that if g literacy is both of those factions, you no longer has a majority. how well they are not saying that the space that they will bring down the government. and at this stage, the opposition will offer a safety net. costs doesn't want to be in that position. it's really interesting what they've said, if i could just mention that savvy one of the policies of cities will go back into the gulf. but if you review the war the, all the policy is said, we'll actually leave the government if you don't resume the world. why that's interesting is because that goal and this has been transpired throughout is know, some the was return to security or anything like that, or getting the perpetrators. the goal is to reset the low cost to deep populate garza to continue the not a lot of poli

and this the, any surprises that the cabinet will a pos, a this through. at some stage there's also a lot of domestic pressure, a lot of international pressure, but also obviously this pressure from the incoming us administration from donald trump, himself, he just said he wants to see this being put in motion before the integration on monday. and once this is done, if the boat goes through, then there's a whole process that we need to look at. usually then the list of the palestinians that will be exchanged, that are in is rarely prisons. this will be a populist in uh from the prison or ortiz. this gives uh, you know, a time for some of the, uh, for some objections and petitions against it. this is usually period of 48 hours. you know, this is all setting this whole process in motion, but that could also be shortened now. so we have to wait for this. uh and then uh we are expecting uh the, the cx 5 still most likely to come is all of this goes well, the thing is, surprises to come in an enterprise on sunday, at least uh, what comes and when it comes to th

let's, let's start with the, with the very m and m, c, m a cabinet. you can pass this agreement without a problem. you should also be able to pass it in the larger uh, government plan and the one that you just spoke with your current respond to that has been delayed uh to saturday night because of this out. which by the way, parent statically is nonsensical because there is a, a, a korean instruction in judaism, if you happen to be religious, that's saving lives, postpones, besides the sanctity of the sabbath. and since the lives we're talking about her is really hostages. there's no reason in the world not to approve this inside the sabbott, but these are the same that called politicians that are running the government. ok . now back to this in our says, indeed mister smart patient, mr. ben, via withdrawal from the government. and now has 3 options in front of it. so to have them still vote with a convolution. even though it may, it may, it will be a lot of wisc or, you know, it'll be a very, very tight parliament. assuming that if the ceasefire falt

so how i'm doing now, expecting this cabinet, the full cabinet will need during the shut off of sabbath. is it gonna approve the deal of the whole sent me the meeting is going to happen in about an hour and 10 minutes local time in west jerusalem. and the sabbath would start around an hour after that, we are expecting a decision from these really cabinet tonight is really media is reporting that it would happen before. should bob. so perhaps they're just going in there to take a vote. but of course, there will be a lot of discussions because the some are been here shortly after the security cabinet meeting, put out of statements saying, but it's not too late to block this deal. and he's urging other ministers in the government, not just of his own jewish power party, but of religious zionism and benjamin netanyahu, whose only crude party to vote against this deal as it stands now, benjamin netanyahu should have enough votes in order to secure the passing of the ceasefire deal, but the fate of his coalition will remain unknown as several parties have said that they would step down from t

cabinet, but all the political appointees? i believe there are almost 4000 of them. that's the first question. the second question is do we know where president trump is in filling all of those positions? i've seen articles from various sources that he has appointed most if not all of his cabinet, but i'm not sure about the minute executive appointees that have large divisions within the federal bureaucracy. thank you. guest: i will take the second one first. over the weekend president trump unveiled a lot of additional sub cabinet nominations, we call them. these are deputy secretaries, positions that do require senate confirmation but depending on the individual nominee, often times get through without any real hiccups. sometimes even getting unanimous consent of the senate floor. and when it comes to how quickly these cabinet nominees in particular could be installed, you look back to the last couple of times a new president came into office, under president biden in 2021 it took the senate a couple of months to fill out hi

this is the news line from valid israel security cabinet gathers to a votes on a truce for gaza. top security officials are set to be amazing in this building with 5 minutes. the opinion means next at yahoo to decide whether to cease 5 for hostages deal with her boss goes ahead. also on the program, hollywood induces an offbeat icon. american filmmakers in rockford, david lynch dies the age of 17. the i'm feel welcome to the program after a day of delay and accusations. israel secure to cabinet is now in session discussing whether to approve the latest these 5 deal. forgot the prime minister. benjamin netanyahu says the final details have not been ironed out of to previously claiming that have massive backtracked on parts of the deal. but national security administer. it's a mob been via, has threatened to resign from the college and government if the deal is approved. if the security cabinet approves the deal, it will then have to be rectified by the fault is reading the government before the choose can take effect as planned on sunday. let's see where we are with that correspondent

how is the cabinet to do that? prove it. they said that they were never shown the deed that transpired between the 2. okay, thank you so much of the outlining. all of that for us is come out of honda. they're in as long as as well. my thoughts were russia and around are expected to sign a new partnership agreement. later on friday, randy and president's mistake this weekend is in most got the tools with russian president vladimir post and lower account looks at how forward relations with the west pool. the 2 nations closer must go into around the putting ink to a deal to shake the controls if their relationship for the next 2 decades. i've done the good this treaty like, by the way, are treated with north korea is not directed against any country. any rainy and official has told media the deal set to be signed between russian president vladimir putin and uranium president. my food possess can, will cover a wide ranging areas from nuclear energy to regional corporation, information technology and defense. and it's been years

full cabinet votes for this deal today, it's due to take effect on sunday. so what will happen that, or well, the secession of facilities, the ceasefire, will start at 12 o'clock noon. and if a previous uh, situations like that hostage exchanges and things like that across this prison exchanges. if anything to go by then of expectation, is that by 4, maybe 5 pm. uh the uh, the hostages uh will be released and will be on their way to uh, to a to, to israel. but uh that is again, expectation of that is what is supposed to happen. what we do though, is that, um, the company that the office said that uh, if the deal is agreed on, then it will be shut, use will be kept, the time table will be kept. so let's wait and see what a family's of hostages say about this. do spell looks till i have spoken to a lady who was a hostage and whose son is still a hostage uh 3 days ago. and that's of course, um, a very powerful thing, a very powerful thing to speak to these people. they won't the people back. it's the dominant emotion, that is, i mean by the talk to them, it's m

and these really security cabinet will convene today on friday. however, the full ratification of the ceasefire deal will be in the wider cabinet that's set to take place on saturday night. it's a little bit unclear to is really analyst why this is not happening sooner. and why those within the religious sect of benjamin netanyahu, whose government cannot violate the chabarise duties in which they do not work, because they can, if it means a life saving measure is, can be applied. but none the less, there is still opposition from the lot of people within benjamin netanyahu, whose government so well the security cabinet is set to meet on friday. the full vote is not going to happen until saturday evening, which then gives 24 hours for petitions against it to the high courts. so we're talking about still a bureaucratic process that's a few days away here. okay. can just clarify cuz the deal actually be hijacked by these really 5 rights at this point in time. well, at this point in time, it's seeming that benjamin netanyahu actually does have enough

if as expected, a majority of ministers in that security cabinet vote in favor of a truce. a little after the secure to cabin and meeting this a ton or the agreement will be presented to the white a cabinet that also they have to vote on this. now we had this political crisis, they will be opposition. there will be votes against us, but it's, it's still being, you know, the expectation is that this do deal with go a through. and then of what you would be seeing then is actually a whole sort of legal process. but we don't know exactly whether this government meeting the why they're coming to ruby actually meeting today. there were some reports that might be meeting only after the end of the show about that is on saturday night. that has been a lot of criticism here. why this should happen? you know, some of the religious ministers have said they should be maybe a vote before so about isn't uh, on the phone to get this going. you know, as i said, the is the sense that this needs to be done pretty, you know, fast right now, because they don't want, as, uh, you know, the people

once it is approved by the security cabinet as we expect, it will have to go to the full cabinet. it to be ratified. despite the objections of two foreign ministers in benjamin netanyahu's cabinets who have threatened to resign over the deal. then there will be a short window of opportunities for israelis to lodge complaints and appeals over the identity of palestinian prisoners to be released from israeli jails. we do not expect that to hold up the deal. this comes down to the trauma on both sides of this conflict over the last 15 months, the israeli trauma over the hostages that remain in captivity in the trauma of palestinians over the almost 47,000 palestinians over the almost 10,000 people killed in gaza according to health officials. the trauma here in israel is felt by many families of the hostages, including daniel lifshitz, who is the grandson of two people taken from a kibbutz on the 7th of october by hamas. his grandmother was released, his grandfather is still in captivity. daniel can join us now. thank you for talking to us on hostages square. do you believe your gran

talk about getting nominations cabinet picks through.hat the accurate are going to do or maybe what the republicans are going to do. >> we know senate democrats are going to try to obstruct. that's not really the problem. the problem is whether senate republicans are going to fall for democrats obstructionism. as you mentioned, they have the super majority right now on these confirmations. they don't need bipartisan support for any of these nominees. so, really, the question is whether they are going to enter this process with an agenda of their own or whether they are going to defer to the president-elect which includes those cabinet picks who he has chosen to enact that agenda. they refuse to do the latter. they need to give republican voters a clear and concise reason why. no more excuses here. the fact of the matter is trump has chosen these people for very specific reason. republican voters and voters across the political spectrum chose him for a specific reason. they can start their explanation wore why biden's cabinet nominees app

he cabinet meeting might be taking lace? ., , ., ., place?e timing or whether it _ place? no news on the timing or whether it will _ place? no news on the timing or whether it will happen _ place? no news on the timing or whether it will happen today. - whether it will happen today. still the line of the israeli government, the prime minister's office, that hamas is reneging on the deal, a sign ofjust how difficult it is to get this over the line. 15 months into a war that has killed more than 16,000 people in gaza according to the local health officials, and in which 98 people make israelis, are still hostage in gaza. this is hostages square in tel aviv which has represented the trauma of the israeli since the hostages were taken on the 7th of october, you can see people gather every day on this square and there are protests against the government, calling for a deal to bring the hostages home. there are encampments and there is a simulation of a hamas tunnel over there, representing the tunnels they have built through gaza smuggling weapons

we saw that within a week of his election, he had already nominated members of his cabinet. this is unprecedented speed in terms of getting the nominations out into the public eye. we've seen as well in the past 24 hours. how the administration has co list around him. this is partially because he had talked to the different strategy in terms of his cabinet picks. for example, on this occasion before. and his 1st to a number of those cabinet picks was suggested to him by political insight as this time. it's appears that he has selected personally, each of those cabinet members, and each of them has got one common trait. and that is absolute loyalty to donald trump. he has insisted on this in the past and doesn't toys get it, but now he's assembling the cabinet that has publicly stated each and every one of them that they have complete faith and will follow donald trump unreservedly. so we do have this situation which is very different from his bus to which was robert k, y'all 6th through the 1st weeks and months. and indeed, throughout the time there was always a come the con

those are members of the trump cabinet. kristi noem, the governor of south dakota, nominated to be secretary of the department of homeland security. other members as well. lee zeldin, the former new york congressman, nominated to be administer of the epa. john ratcliffe, nominated to be director of the cia. a lot of people there who are -- kash patel, nominated to be director of the fbi. there is mr. doge himself, vivek ramaswamy, who is going to be on the department of government efficiency. but he is stepping down from that role to run for governor of ohio. we saw tulsi gabbard on the left there, turned republican, nominated to be director of the office of national intelligence. these are members of the president's would- be cabinet. none of them have been confirmed yet. we do expect marco rubio, the senator from florida, to be confirmed overwhelmingly today. there he is on the left, as secretary of state. that is -- if trump gets his druthers and i have no reason to think he won't, that will be the trump cabinet. we're n

israel's security cabinet is due to meet later to ratify the agreement.e ministers, including the far—right security minister itamar ben—gvir, have threatened to resign if it is approved, calling it a reward for hamas. the civil defence agency in gaza says more than 80 palestinians have been killed by israeli strikes since the deal was first announced on wednesday. the ceasefire is meant to begin on sunday, with the release of the first three israeli hostages. simonjones reports. "we want an end to the war, we're broken." that was a message from some of the families of the israeli hostages still being held in gaza, as they took to the streets in tel aviv. the first phase of the ceasefire would see 33 hostages, including women, children and elderly people, exchanged for palestinian prisoners in israeli jails. we really hope and pray that these efforts will be fruitful and we can get all our hostages back as soon as possible. this has been a tremendous amount of pressure on the families, and we just hope this period will be over. but opponents of the deal h

that is where that security cabinet meeting is taking place. and the israeli parliament will also then vote on it as well. and this meeting, of course, had been delayed after benjamin netanyahu accused hamas of seeking changes to the final agreement. but that agreement has now been inked and now the security cabinet is meeting as we are showing you those images there. and we will bring you there. and we will bring you the latest on what comes out of that meeting. but as we have been reporting from our correspondent in the region, some ministers have threatened to resign over the deal. there have been some critics within mr netanyahu's government you don't agree with the deal that has been done with hamas. —— who don't agree. let's bring you up—to—date with some of the other headlines we are watching. pakistan's former prime minister imran khan who's already in jail, has been sentenced to an additional 14 years in a corruption case. can donlad trump stop the clock for tiktok? fans and influencers hope the app will get a reprieve ahead of a us ba

how do you think trump's cabinet picks are faring so far?thus far, anna, they likely will all sail through confirmation now. interestingly, it might be by a party line vote. >> i think secretary of defense nominee hegseth may be a party line vote, which would really be historic in itself. >> i think from what we've heard thus far, the most unsettling hearing was texas. >> he never proved his qualifications. >> democrats kind of attacked his fitness, but he never asserted why being a fox news host qualified him to be secdef, or why running a koch brothers veterans group qualified him to be secdef, or his years in the national guard qualified him to be secdef. >> i think he is wholly unqualified. that was unsettling. >> and then secondly, pam bondi's inability to confirm the validity of the 2020 election. >> she showed that she's an election denier. she tried to parse words, but in a way that elementary students can really see through. and she lied to the country when she said we had a peaceful transfer of power. we did not. january 6th was vi

and now that's being discussed within this inner cabinet. it's members of certain positions within these really government, but it's not the wider cabinet that will vote on this on saturday evening. so what's being discussed are the terms, and of course we do have that list of the $33.00 captives who are set to be released in phase one of this deal. and the prime minister's office has released the statement confirming that if and when this deal is ratified by the wider coalition, it is set to begin on sunday. and that's when we can see captives being released from gaza. however, there is still staunch opposition to this deal from members of the far right who are hoping, in fact, that it will not pass, but it is seeming that benjamin netanyahu should have enough both within his government for this to pass on saturday night. okay, and what would happen often, honda, if it does indeed pause, how would things play out from that point on a well look, there's a long bureaucratic process here. and in fact, this security cabinet meeting was supposed

right now or affordably, the security cabinet meeting. we'll get underway shortly after these really prime minister meets with these really negotiating team who was set to be back from doha . after nearly a week of talks in the fact that he capital. but the security cabinet meeting will not come easy for these really premier as there still is fierce opposition to the deal. you have members of the far right who are threatening to bolts of the coalition. if this deal is passed, did they want assurances that israel is going to return to full scale war 2, all out fighting after the initial phase of these deals? so you have people who are slated to vote no, but none the less, this is not the meeting in which the deal will be ratified and they're still going to be the wider cabinet meeting on saturday night. the day before this deal is set to take place. okay. um the, so obviously this uh, this going to be another meeting. this potentially, this could still be hijacked by is ready politicians. the deal entirely right of the will, according to i

israel's cabinet is due to meet later to approve the deal.he first part will come into effect on sunday. there have been celebrations in gaza, with cheering crowds holding palestinian flags even as israeli air strikes were reported elsewhere in the territory. the un chief said the priority had to be easing the tremendous suffering caused by the conflict. the families of israeli hostages expressed overwhelming joy and relief as well as anxiety that the deal might not be fully implemented. prime minister benjamin netanyahu's office said the final details were still being worked on and he would issue a statement only once they were complete. phase one of the deal is a six—week initial ceasefire when hamas will release 33 israeli hostages made up of women, children and the elderly. some palestinians held in israeli prisons will be freed in return. israeli troops will partially withdraw from gaza, and some displaced palestinians sheltering in southern gaza will be allowed to return to the north. aid trucks will be allowed in. negotiations for the

also friday, security cabinet. me thing, it's a mob been give a quote on the why the government to stop the deal from being approved. then you may scoutis get. if this reckless deal is approved and implemented, the jewish party will give the resignation letter to the prime minister the jewish ballpark. you will not be part of the government and will withdraw from it. but i said, the prime minister, that is the war on how most is renewed with force in order to decide and realize the on a chief, the goals of the war, we will return to the government. okay, will stephanie decker, his life for us from online in jordan us because he's really government has bundled 0 for, i'm afraid seeing there as well as the occupied westbank, stephanie, the so the security cabinet has approve the cx 5 deal, but it has been such and go yes it has, you heard there from bank very smart vandevere, the national security minister. it was the best of l smart trench. the 2 extreme right wing elements of mentioned y'all who's government to men

the end to get can just to cut through the, the flaws cabinet. and the thing that actually ended up approving this deal, finally a yes, it wasn't a surprise. it was always going to be approved. this deal is more than the domestic politics that has been really playing out a vital role in how long the war has played out. because benjamin netanyahu is really, um, it does say held accountable by its more bang could be or, and that's about smart trips. the 2 rights we ministers in his government because he depends on their support for his political survival. but now the pressures of outside have become too immense. so i've been basically, it's more vandevere has threatened to resign from government if the deal has gone through the deal has gone through. it is now pretty much the end of the jewish day of rest the shots. let's wait and see whether he will announce that he's going to resign. the thing is, it's not going to affect the deal and it's not going to make this government to so . so this is the situation when it comes to mass of disagreements wi

the cabinet delayed a plan vote on approving video.accused hamas of reneging on some parts of the agreement and seeking last-minute concessions. on the ground in gaza itself, while the dream of peace maybe close, the reality now is that the fighting and killing go on. the hamas-run health ministry in gaza says dozens of palestinians have been killed by missile strikes in the hours since the truce was announced in doha. despite all of this, the united states is still confident, it says, that the cease-fire will begin as scheduled this sunday, january 19, the eve of donald trump's inauguration as the next american president. let's have a listen now to that statement from the israeli cabinet minister itamar ben-gvir just a short time ago with his reaction to the cease-fire deal. >> this deal will put an end to all the achievements we have managed to accomplish for the state of israel. more than that, it will not lead to the release of all the hostages. it dooms the fate of the other hostages and will lead to the end of the war with hamas

so somebody in the outgoing cabinet needs to stay on until the incoming president's cabinet is confirmedd so on january 20th, 2017, i was secretary of homeland security for an extra seven hours, 32 minutes after noon, i make a great trivia question who was donald trump's first dhs secretary? that was me. >> that is a great trivia point. stay with us, jay. i just want to bring in nbc meteorologist michelle grossman joining us. so, as they say, how cold will it be on monday? >> yeah. hi, andrea. it's going to be cold. and not just your everyday cold. it's winter. we're looking at dangerous chill. we're looking at temperatures well below freezing. it's going to be important to wear lots of layers, kind of cover any exposed skin that you may have. wear them. you know as much layers as scarves and gloves because we are looking at temperatures 20 degrees at 9 a.m. the good news is we're going to have some sunshine. but notice the wind chill. we're going to see the winds pretty gusty and that's going to bring the wind chill down as well. so by 12:00 looking at 22 3:00 21, the temperatures are n

it says the cabinet will not convey it until the group accepts all the elements. how mass on that spot. it said it's already committed to the deal. all the while a group of his riley's have gathered in west tourism to protest against the seas. far, 3 families of israeli forces in garza, or among those demonstrating the calling on the government to abandon the deal, calling it a surrender. one of these right, the strikes that happened off the seas. 5 deal was announced. killed 20 palestinians. happened in july. the a city in northern garza, but i know how late it has been to the size of the attack. the also to cease fire announcements. yes. are they these really fights or is this have intensified their tags targeting several homes across the goddess rape. i'm now standing in your values to be these where you'd be fights or just have targeted this residential building. at least 20 palestinians were killed and dozens were injured and transported to the nearest hospital. the situation nearest the and much more dire as you can see, the steel of a destruction inflicted

how testing the cabinet is what you're saying, that that can be a resumption to fighting. and he gave a message of the us has given them guarantees to replenish munitions, of fighting resumes. and that these righty withdrawal was not discussed is the thing to read into that message. and the fact that we have an hud sofa from it's a model been give is administer of national security. is also a convicted terrorist. we should point out that he was withdrawing from the government, which is what he said he would do. is there anything to link the messages the guarantees that the next now gave and the fact that we haven't sofa heard from ben give you that he's leaving the government he's putting in in the into place what he promised to do. oh, absolutely. there is directly, he does not want to leave the government. so whole, he needed more assurances and he needs an attorney out to us the way his fears and concerns the so to speak and to placate it, which is one time the outside. but here's, here's where it becomes a complex the americans apparently provided similar assurances th

the rest of his cabinet nominees? something to watch as the republican former republican leader breaks ranks and now forcing vp jd vance to come in and break a tie to get over the finish line, barely. >> caitlin. yeah. and so he spoke to him for two hours. and hegseth also sent to senator thom tillis a letter. manu. >> yeah, that was essentially it. at least the questions that tillis had. he said that he needed to speak to the hegseth. hegseth responded to those questions and not just hegseth responding to those questions. other republicans also weighing in directly with thom tillis, the majority leader of the senate, john thune, spoke to him several times through the course of the day. so no doubt. thom tillis, up for reelection in 2026, potentially could face a primary as well. he has faced enormous pressure to get in line to fall in line, but believes that his questions have been answered about those allegations of abusive behavior and the like. so that's how he got to. yes, caitlin. >> yeah. that's remarkable. gre
