devin nunes has been following this for years as a california congressman and we know that presidentto talk with governor newsom about changing some of these policies. it's timber. it's water. and it's grazing. these are the issues that we're covering today. yes, it's going to have an impact on the oil industry but even more than that, commodities broadly speaking, will. will: yeah. back to the oil industry for just a moment. i think it's 60% of california's oil is refined there in los angeles and long beach which by the way isn't under threat of fire. 40% of the west coast energy. but you bring up three policies which we'll have to watch sunday morning futures to hear about that broken down in the way you did. ted cruz laid out through and he had a fourth which led toen competence in f fire fighting or budget cuts. maria: you don't want to point fingers at such a detrimental moment in people's lives. you have to go back to tori ins of the fire and try to understand what could be done differently in future. that's what we're talking about this morning. devin nunes one of my guests th

maria: devin nunes went through the policy failures in california.t makes sense, that lawmakers would force policy change before the money. we will see. where that goes congressman i want your thoughts on health of brave firefighters facing mental health struggles long term impact from breathing smoke, a team of firefighters to help out here is what a former l.a. fighter told fox news. >> they let you go because you wouldn't get -- >> good evening yess there was quite a bit terminated at this point, you know originally back in december 21, there 1w5s 62 put -- 126 put off concession as he got 1.89 billion dollars covid relief funds where that is all that money gone it is fund-raising to understand why our water systems why is department of water and power you know saying that the reservoirs can't handle this? can't refill it? >> congressman what sheer ineptitude first forced so many firefighters to leave the forest because they did not get the covid shot. now they need firefighters, and, you know, we're seeing this smoke in the air. and dangerous con

if you think in the following to be to use to prove with devin nunes, that a political party in the unitedrica to go overseas to hijack the fbi go to a federal secret court and i to judge just to surveilled their political opponent, that's conspiracy stuff but that's what happened in our united states of america, to our present the first go round. what do you think these people are doing now? and there's no coincidences in government. .. so many people you've heard about. the only way to break that is if we don't accept there projection. are we the ones that sent law enforcement to houses of worship? we told parents you will dictate your children's education but they did it and the name of america. here is the kicker about the media. they serve and invaluable purpose. there are no government gangsters without corrupt actors and the media to continue lies about our america first mission so i started with, it's up to us but he's going to need help from us so what do you do? you pick one thing whether it's childcare education, drugs, narcotics -- pick one thing and go to your community and do

i think devin nunes is quite right.ot become a champion of free speech with your money rather than a few cheap words. i think the problem really regardless of how repulsive mark zuckerberg's sort of personal about-face has been, i think the real point is that that much power over speech and thought should not be controlled by one man and especially one as -- who has shown himself to be as much of a toady as zuckerberg. maria: i agree. but the power is in the hands of these social media companies, you know that, right? we'll see what happens going -- go ahead, miranda. >> i mean, it's not really because the administration has an enormous amount of power and that was why zuckerberg i think buckled so readily to the threats of the biden administration and just merrily censored away, the same power is wielded by donald trump and i think it shouldn't be used as a casual threat just to get zuckerberg and meta to do what he wants but instead to break up these social media monopolies, behemoths, just like teddy roosevelt did wi

here's devin nunes with me sunday talking about what went wrong in california with regard to policy.n. >> but it's pretty simple. it's water. it's grazing. it's logging. those industries have all been hampered. if you look at agriculture, we're down in land that's being farmed because of lack of water. this means when farms don't get water, guess what, the la basin also doesn't get water. so as you're building out and adding people and homes in the los angeles basin, if you don't have an adequate abundant water supply and you're rationing water e the people building the homes, the city planners are not putting in green areas, not putting in fire breaks, if you run the farmers and ranchers out of the state of california, you don't have the animals to sit there and graze so the combination of the proper land management would solve all of this problem. now, what's going to happen? just like they've done for the last 20 years, california is going to run to the federal government and they're going to ask for money and i think this time hopefully i think president trump and the republicans

you heard devin nunes this is about the climate change agenda.change agenda nunes said they didn't allow the timber industry to log and cut down trees and they didn't allow the farmers to get the grazing and they didn't store water. now we have people losing everything. buildings burned to the ground. >> a year ago as you remember you and i sat down and talk to doubles of all places where you and i were trying to inject some truth into the climate change agenda. one of the projections that i made and i'm very sorry to be right about this tragedy is that eventually voters in places like california and across europe would come to understand that the climate change agenda would actually cost not just their livelihoods but their lives which is really important for us to understand we usher in the wonderful new administration which will have the greatest cabinet in history, if we have cabinet secretaries like an interior secretary like doug burgum and asked secretary like brooke rollins these kinds of things would not happen because the federal govern

democrat policies having on the golden state is former california congressman and trump media ceo devin nuÑesmuch for being here -- devin. >> as always, thank you, maria. maria: i me that what drove you into politics initially is your farming background. i've spoken with you many times when you're standing in front of tractors, and you've talked so much about growing up in the farm grounds of california. now you are identifying specific policies that needed to be done that weren't which got us here to to these wildfires. tell us what went wrong. >> well, really lack of common sense and how the world already actually functions is what a went wrong with politicians who lack common sense. the has been pointed out by republicans for many, many decades. it's about 30, 40 years of bad policies, radical environmental groups who brought lawsuits who then influenced politicians in sacramento, and the democrats have kept doing the same thing over and over and over again. and guess what? we're having the same catastrophic results in california. so there's a short-term issue that happened that's not unus

schiff was censored we know subpoenaed records from a call wth reporting we know what he did to devin nunesue to talk about january 6th committee, you continue to hear about preemptive pardons for people a part of that process, so it really makes you wonder did they operate owed the law before asking that question because mighty worried about it now do not want to focus on the issues of the border of crime, of safety and security. they are all about past and covering their steps. >> president trump ad mavrnt about having hostages in gaza returned before he returns to white house israel delaying cabinet vote to approve cease-fire with hamas prime benjamin netanyahu accusing terrorist group backtracking on parts of the agreement of president trump trying to take credit for everything on this detail, he did so in farewell speechp president-elect trump posted on truth social, this epic cease-fire agreement could have only happened as a result of our historic victory in november my national security team through efforts special enavoid to middle east steve with it cumulative will continue to wor

and this emergency that we are all watching and -- and crying over, in california devin nunes laid it out former california congressman in politics he knows very well failed policies of california, laid it out sunday, watch. >> pretty simple water, grazeing, logging, those industries have all been hampered if you look at agriculture we are down in, because of lack of water this means when farmers don't get water guess what l.a. bin doesn't get water as building out the adding peel heels in los angeles basin if you don't have an adequate abundant water supply you are rationing water the people that are building those homes city planners not putting in green areas not building fire breaks if you run farmers, ranchers out of the state of california guess what? you don't the animals to sit there and graze a combination of -- of the proper land management, would solve all of this problem. now -- what is going to happen? they are going to just like they've done 20 years california going to run to federal government. and going to ask for money, and i think this time hopefully i think preside

i mean, devin nunes is talking about those three issues, farming, grazing, logging and water. >> he'se industries have all been chased out by the environmentalists, environmentalists have stopped any kind of water project and look, this is very important to establish this. this cannot be put at the feet of republicans. a republican has not held office in call important ya statewide -- california statewide in 20 years. the members of the los angeles city council, every one of them is a democrat. democrats control the state senate. the last republican mayor in los angeles left in 2001. this is a one party state. they ought to look in the mirror and the voters ought to look in the mirror and rethink their assumptions. maria: karen bass is facing backlash for taking the trip to guana as the wildfire crisis was occurring. she was said to be at an embassy cocktail party as the fires were erupting. she told the new york times in 2021 she would not travel abroad. recall campaigns for her and governor gavin newsom have launched, larry. your thoughts on these two politically. >> well, i think a

>> i did a show in 2009 from the san joaquin valley, devin nunes district. right. and they wouldn't give thousands of acres of farmland water to protect that. >> by the way, you see that now? i drove up the highway. i was with devin nunes and other republican congressmen, and i looked at these vast areas of land and it looked like it was just burning. it was dark, it was dry. and then there'd be a little patch, a little tiny patch of green, beautiful green. and i'd say, how come all this land has these little patches? they said, that's all that we're allowed to farm because we have no water. i said, are you having a drought? no. they've turned off the water. they've turned off the spigot from up north in order to protect the delta smelt. >> let me move on. >> to the. and by the way, i don't really believe it's the delta smelt because nobody could do that. >> just. well. >> it's not endangered either. they have it in other locations. et cetera. >> they're doing seemingly everything they could do, like new york is in many ways to chase people away. >> no, but can you

devin nunes, west coast, why are they not ready for any wildfire ever?is new job trump two and the media moments that matter most but first, the theme this week commander-in-chief all-american mission, trump came out of the gate, work speed times ten bringing in intensity to the oval office have never seen before. two objectives i could tell, the race joe biden and channel tom brady. >> let's go. >> everyone expecting him to start past but this past? he came out firing and let the press witnessed the whole thing signing executive order after executive order. abolishing the ei policies and government, no man will be allowed to participate in women sports. no longer will they be able to allow our for now. deportation fights have begun wallowing mass ice rates arresting 500 illegal immigrants in one day streaming american troops to the u.s. for an passing the lake and by the act. i could go on but i only have our show and even though he came out to right the ship clearly biden has long, this version of trump is looking different than the model, 45-mile. mos

with any ongoing investigation like you did devin nunes live -- this body nor you like congress. >> there so many relevant issues that they seem obsessed with liz cheney, are you investigating? >> we are going to do a look back four to six human sources we learned at the capital in 2021, 17 import in the white house and to work past to be there by the fbi. we think we need to know more about that. what was interesting is it's almost like adam schiff when you're a kid did something wrong and you say, that, i got a friend in adam schiff wanted to ask himself but president trump is not going to retaliate. pam bondi and kash patel, they will not retaliate, they will get the facts and make sure american people understand what took place under merrick garland, like mark zuckerberg has come clean on, the biden administration told mark zuckerberg, they told us to do it, we did it and i'm sorry, who want again and they cannot change the policy and god bless him. we will get to the bottom of that, that's our job but it's not about retribution and retaliation. >> we will get to the bottom of some of

when it chuck schumer bring it for about, we've been talking about the policy failure all week in devin nunesfornia congressman the head of trauma media said is very simple it is logging, grazing and water and they did not do the logging they would not allow the timber industry to cut down trees, they would not do the grazing there the farmers out of their and they did not want the animals to be eating and grazing and they did not store water, these are policy failures are using these could've been avoided with different policy? >> we had to pass the bill at the end of last year would've stop this fire but this is policy that we've been tried to get past i've been here a decade and we've gotten policies like this pass. we had small victories and thinning projects around south lake tom and the whole communities we know this works it has to be put in place to redo sleep in the bed that you make in these policies have made a really bad bed the people in california have to sleep in. maria: let me ask about trump's and coming policies, the president-elect is preparing dozens of executive orders to

they support what patel did when he was working for devin nunes when he was chairman of the house intelligence committee. they were investigating this internal probe against donald trump, against the trump campaign that has now become known as the russia hoax. patel was really a leading edge of trying to uncover what the f.b.i. and the obama administration and the intelligence agencies were doing targeting donald trump and his campaign. so my feeling is there is a lot of republican appreciation for patel for having done that and i think that he will actually have an easier go of it because he is a republican. has partisan support as opposed to somebody like kennedy who has irritated some democrats with his vaccine positions but also irritated some republicans with his pro-choice positions. so it is a more difficult situation for him, i think. >> dana: byron, thank you very much. a lot to look forward to this week. good to see you. brand-new video of a criminal migrant being taken into custody in new york city this morning. president trump's immigration crackdown on full swing since the inaugur

i spoke with trump media ceo devin nunes about this yesterday on sunday morning futures.f zuckerberg is having a may cull pa moment, that's great. let's remember, he spent $450 million of his own money to sway the 2020 election in favor of the left so if he wants to do a mea culpa i think he should spend 450 million, maybe it's $550 million, and he ought to help companies out there like fox news, truth social, now twitter with x, rumble, that have been fighting the censorship every single day we wake up and fight this censorship. he ought to take that money and join the fight and go after these woke corporations that are continuing to try to starve fox and others of advertising. maria: daniel, your reaction? >> well, look, as i've said recently, dei is on death watch and i think it's particularly important for the viewers to know at home that whether it's meta, whether it's walmart, whether it is mcdonald's, whether it's ford motor company, i mean, these are iconic brands that are making a decision to move away from diversity, equity and inclusion and move towards merit,

. >> john: here is what devin nunes said this morning about what happened four years ago. >> if zuckerberg is great. let's remember. he spent $450 million of his own money to sway the 2020 election election in favor of the left. if he wants to do a mea culpa and he should spend $450 million maybe add some interest. maybe it is $550 million. >> john: is he afraid of the new sheriff in town? >> let's get some more -- i think people recognize that they don't want business getting involved in politics. if you are chick-fil-a and make a great chicken sandwich, make a good chicken sandwich. i don't need to be lectured about what my politics should be or what your politics are. i don't care. just do what you do can only do it well. your share price will go up and everybody wins. >> john: this up out dei on friday. this is ultimately about doing what is best for our company and ensuring we are serving everyone in building teams with the most talented people. this means evaluating people as individuals and sourcing people from a range of candidate pools and never making hiring decisions based on pr

i was with devin nunes when he was a congressman, and some other congressman from the area. we were on the highway, and i keep looking at these farms in the land is bone dry, and then you see about an acre or 2 acres with the most beautiful green plants growing, the most beautiful you have ever -- it is rich stuff, and you look at the soil and it is so rich. that soil is almost the equivalent to like, iowa. it is phenomenal. it's got no water. but the reason it has no water -- i said, do you have a drought? no. i said, what do you mean you don't have a drought? it is dry as a bone. the reason you had like an acre is because they say you can farm 1 acre but no more, because they didn't want to waste water. but they throw the water into the pacific ocean. these people are crazy. so we are going to be issuing an executive order demanding that they immediately let that water come down through california. farmers, even people living in beverly hills. a lot of them are wiped out. believe it or not, they were having restrictions, larry. you know about this. they wanted to restrict

devin nunes, of course, ran it for a while and became close to trump in that in that orbit. significant is it that johnson is doing this? and is it at all plausible that it's happening because of what he said? it's just about the house, and it's not about mar-a-lago. >> look, it's certainly fishy, i think, when you look at this, because when you look at someone like mike turner and his replacement, rick crawford, they both have obviously approached president-elect trump very differently. for example, you had mike turner. turner being one of the, you know, select republicans that voted to certify the 2020 election results. rick crawford did not. we know that loyalty means a lot to donald trump. looking into the policy side of this, though, you know that we know that mike turner is a big ukraine supporter. rick crawford has voted against, you know, that $60 billion ukraine aid package last year. so there is a question moving forward about, you know, whether this is about loyalty and people who are aligned with donald trump and mar-a-lago. now, there's also been questions about

though a few years back, was fraught with partisanship, with battles between the then chairman, devin nunes, the then ranking democrat, adam schiff. there's concern about going back to that fraught time when this committee, a powerful one, oversees the nationals and nation's intelligence apparatus, also has some key legislative authority as well. now, mike turner had sparred with the trump wing of the party on some key issues, including giving warrantless surveillance authority to the federal government, including on aid to ukraine, a different position than his new chairman of the committee, rick crawford, has now espoused. the speaker, however, erin has strongly denied that donald trump had any role in this whatsoever. he said that he wanted to bring, quote, fresh faces into the house intelligence committee. and i'm told by a source familiar with his thinking that he wanted to bring his own chairman in the way his predecessor, kevin mccarthy, did in bringing in mike turner. but that is still not enough to quell some of those gop concerns about this move. >> all right. yeah. and i guess ju

it will not play politics with any ongoing investigation like you did with your colleague devin nunes john: and that is the way it has been much of the day as the democrats go after pam bondi. let's go back lives to the hearing. >> where there is a regular process for the doj and the clemency process has looked at to see whether there are reforms that should be made in recommendations that could be made to the president throughout his term. >> i would love to look at that process. i can tell you the pardon, the commutations joe biden made were abhorrent to me, absolutely abhorrent taking people off death row. i looked at the facts in many of those cases, and they were so troubling to me. i don't know what process you intend to implement, but i would love to study that with you. >> we talk positively about your expanse in mind with mental health courts, and some things we will continue to disagree about and other things i hope we can work on together. thank you. >> thank you, senator. >> senator leahy. >> thank you, mr. chairman. pam bondi as you are aware, in important part of my role

president-elect trump has announced that he will appoint former congressman and trump media ceo devin nunes to the chairman of the president's intelligence advisory board. this dope? this dope looks like he has to set an alarm to remind him to blink.

not more recently, though, devin nunes was known for really politicizing the committee. adam schiff on the left, i think many would argue, politicized it at times. and i think donald trump wants someone who represents his perspective and his point of view in that position. and it shows that mike johnson is going to cater to what donald trump wants once he's sworn in. >> quickly. bakari, any concerns from the democratic side on this? >> i mean, no, this further goes to the infighting that we know is going to happen in the republican party. >> but i don't believe that that many people thought donald trump would have his thumb on the pulse of house republicans all the way down to committee chairmanships. i have a feeling this has more to do with tick tock than people are. actually, as alyssa alluded to, than people are actually giving credit for it. we know that mike was a is a is opposed to having a tick tock within the confines of the united states. and then we see now that we're going to have a chinese state owned media executive who owns tiktok, sitting in the box at th

you, i won't play politics with any ongoing investigation like you did leading your colleagues devin nunes memo. >> let me ask you a simple truth, not a hard one, was their massive fraud affecting the result of the 2020 election, yes or no? >> senator, i'm glad you asked that question if you'll let me say what i saw in pennsylvania. >> i asked about massive fraud. i know -- >> can you tell us whether there was massive fraud affecting the results of the 2020 election, yes or no? >> i can tell you what i saw as an advocate to the campaign. >> you cannot answer the question, you cannot speak the easy truth to us let alone to the president. let me ask you a different question. it will be important that you give good advice to the president. are you prepared to advise the president not to pardon people who beat police officers? >> senator, as i said, the pardons are at the direction of the president. we will look and we will advise. i will look at every case on a case-by-case basis. and i abhorred violence to police officers. >> will it be your advice to the president, mr. president, i know you
