, at least parts of intel.'s also a bloomberg report saying the u.s. is looking into possibly having global foundries purchase intel. what do you think of any of this? >> yeah, there's ban lot of m&a noise about it. and, look, everybody wants them to do something. everybody knows they need to do something. nobody is exactly sure what it is they ought to be doing. so you're seeing a lot of this. when the qualcomm news came out, they have come out and said they're not looking at it, not interested. my biggest issue with that deal, and with any of it, really, it is the fabs, what do you do with the fabs, they're kind of an anchor right now. they're losing billions of dollars. they still require a lot of capx, and it's kind of hard to make the numbers work. that's the general problem if somebody's going to take all of it. the global founders, i don't know, if you read the article, it suggested it never got beyond a phonics experiment. it makes sense. they tried to buy global foundries, who owns 80% of it. it's the

as i understand it, mike turner is no longer even on the intel committee.s in intelligence, congressman, i know you can't go into it, but you talked about this sending a chill down your spine. is it because of what you know that's out there that that is there a threat that you're worried about that you think, donald the chill doesn't see as a threat? i mean, what is the chill? >> no, it's not it's not so much that the chill is. i had this weird feeling that it was like i remember exactly where i was when the president fired in the beginning of his first term. jim comey, the fbi director. now, whatever you think about jim comey and lots of people think lots of different things about jim comey, there was that moment in the white house where the president said to jim comey, i need your loyalty. and jim comey said, well, i'll be loyal to the law. no, i need your loyalty. and that's what that's what just happened. >> right? >> i don't think the conversation actually happened, but i think people wondered whether mike turner, when push came to shove, whether he wo

we don't know who is talking to who, i'm sure intel is looking at chatter to determine that, right?> you better believe that. i want to thank you guys at fox for recognizing warrior spirit of new orleans police officers who engaged and killed that suspect, it is not often talked about. you saw the demonstration of the superintendent police regarding other people of interest. i was shocked by what i just heard there, it is consistent. -- it would make this case very different and show that there was a conspiracy of terrorist cell being activated in that area. the intel community is working full time using all of their resources, human intelligence, electronic intelligence, informants to try to determine if there are more active threats at this time and there well could be. >> lawrence: that is why information is so critical. i always want to give credit to law enforcement when it is due. when people in top brass use legal jargon we know in law enforcement community and it is conflicting then public doesn't know what to watch out for and that is critical after a terr terr terrorist ev

tom cotton is the new chairman of senate intel. brand new situation there. his delegation mate is now rick crawford going to be the chairman of house intel. this is a better thing for the united states security. >> it is true that the leaders of the congress are going to work with the president of the united states, but what is unique about this situation is that in donald trump, you have a president who has flouted political norms, has flouted constitutional norms. i mean, go back to the underlying issue that seems to be at play here, which is turner's criticism of trump, you know, getting on the phone and behaving in a way that runs counter to historically, the way a president would conduct himself. and i think the idea that mike johnson is going to kowtow to trump by putting somebody in place who will stand back and say, it's fine for donald trump to put his own political interests. this actually ties in some ways to this conversation. we were just having put his own political interests ahead of the security interests of the united states. that's that's a

actually enters intel coming to a site. i need something stating, i think that will be their legs to, to be smooth. and that is the theme park is quite small and you know, considering that you're not is not interested at this point. this is by large assessor associates. of is not just doing google is unless agreed and it leaves the stores, it's not even a c site. so we, we, we see that there we continue just to make them still be noticed. but i think in all of this, we see a very slow journey at tools because of the nature of the 0 to us. we know that on to you know how to enter into this way. besides, we're not prepared to make the necessary concession and we, we know that they have a very similar deal with something that they've been already in, in may as it's nathaniel was not, was not interested also because of the, of the, of the pressure from the side so i think every step of the range between now and the end of the show season, and we get to the 2nd phase. we're needing to initial a community to make sure that the si

okay, ryan, have we heard from speaker johnson about his decision to replace mike turner on intel? have, as a matter of fact, chris. and he's been very insistent that this was his decision and his decision alone, and that it involved no influence whatsoever from the president elect or his advisers at mar-a-lago. listen to what johnson told us earlier today. >> it's a new congress. >> we're just need fresh horses. and in some of these places where trump has anything to do, urge you to not this is this is not a president trump decision. >> this is a house decision. >> and this is no slight whatsoever to our our outgoing chairman. >> he did a great job. >> but we just the intelligence community and everything related to gypsy, it needs a fresh start. and that's what this is about nothing else. >> and we know that chairman turner or former chairman turner has a bit of a different view about it. he seems concerned about the way that this decision process was made. and there is every reason to believe that donald trump wouldn't want someone like mike turner as the chair of the intel comm

does anyone have intel on how many isis or al-qaidas are here? >> hey there, to you.on't want to give a number, but we know the answer to this. we know that the american kansas city chiefs passty to push back against radical -- american capacity to push back against radical islamist is less today than four years ago. isis was running free when trump came in and cutting heads off people in the beaches in the middle east and threat in the united states was very real. president trump pressured radical islamic terrorist everywhere in the middle east and states with real law enforcement and intelligence collection. that's the model we need to get back to. there's far too many terrorists that are working the streets of the united states or attempting to get here and a couple hundred have crossed the southern border on the terror watch list this. is a real challenge and we saw the effects of that yesterday in new orleanss and perhaps las vegas as well. we saw it in europe when you're afraid to just speak the truth about radical islamic terrorist and political islam, you get

we can't have intel go down. >> it's a tough thing. management -- >> not well handled. >> of course, intel being critical to u.s. manufacturing. we have a new administration coming in. chips act was something that -- some ebate how successful that was or popular that was. it will be interesting to see what the new administration does. whether it's intel or anyone else, it's super critical for us. >> china, we know that -- we don't want to give china the latest and greatest. but re we punishing companies? nvidia put out a list of 18 countries that nvidia can do business with and not a lot with the others. do you think that stands with the next administration? >> i don't want to opine on the politics. i will say that all these regulations coming this at the 11th hour of the exiting administration, i think the new administration will take a fresh look. we comply with everything. these regulations, they don't hit us too badly. more importantly, we will see what happens in the next few weeks. i would not be surprised to see some of these th

you can't learn intel by sitting on a college campus. you have to be in the intel community.y about the decimation of our human capacities. i have some hopeful thoughts about just the vibe about russia these days. russia has -- they're winning very gradually the war in ukraine, but at tremendous economic cost, human cost, cost to the regime. and you see these little vibes that maybe putin and ukrainians can come to the deal, which is what putin wants -- or what trump wants. that may happen. that may be a little hopeful glimmer. geoff: what do you make, jonathan, of donald trump's effort to dismantle and undermine organizations that were set up after world war ii to make the world safe for democracies and to promote prosperity? jonathan capehart: set up after world war ii under -- with whose driving force, whose leadership? american leadership. i mean, we have had largely peace in the western hemisphere because of those institutions, because the united states and the establishment back then understood that a peaceful, prosperous world has to be one that's at peace and that als

. >> trump bankrupts 51 intel officials cat. on day one, trump plans to suspend the security clearances of all 51 intel officers. who signed that infamous letter saying hunter biden's laptop had the classic earmarks of russian disinfo. isn't this great? it's like he's going back and fixing things that are that they broke. >> yes, especially because i always thought hunter biden's laptop was hunter biden's laptop. but the ironic thing is this letter signed by these 51 intel experts officials was what cemented that. it was definitely hunter biden's laptop for me, because who did not sign it was hunter biden. >> yeah. >> he never said, that's not mine. >> no, that's true. he never did. he never denied it. >> if there was a laptop going around where i was doing stuff like that, and i know that i didn't do stuff like that, i would say something. >> yeah, no, he knew he was like, i either i did it or i don't remember that i did it. >> yeah. >> he was like, i don't know if it's mine, which is like what i say with like, you know, you're

consider who else he has put on the intel committee.ckwaves by putting scott perry of pennsylvania on the intel committee, a member of congress who had his phone seized after january 6th. his text messages seized to find information about his coordination with some of the january 6th activities. mike johnson also put ronny jackson, donald trump's former white house physician who faced a number of ethical allegations himself, including significant drinking on the job and other ethical issues. he is now also on the ethics committee and, as luke points out, mark crawford, the new chairman, has been seen more willing to play ball with johnson and trump. so all of this lines up to make perfect sense. if you're donald trump and mike johnson wanting to reset the table for a new administration, eliminate the chairman who knew everything and was in a position to know even more going forward and begin to consolidate. consolidate the team around the nation's secrets that will ultimately protect the malfeasance of the president going forward. >> ye

people are criticizing the fbi, intel did not know it was coming. you probably know a ton more than i'll ever know about this, is there anything you have to add, what are you thinking, here, sir? >> i wish i had more on add, a participated in classified level briefing this afternoon. by the intelligence agencies and fbi. i talked with my governor down in. jeff landry, and our attorney general. local officials are doing all they can, we need our federal partners to do their job, there was some frustration, i think it will well placed. for 4 years, the biden administration has taken eye off the ball, they did not prioritize in our view the right things, fbi was off doing the various things putting emphasis in investigation and eye on whi conservative catholics and tries to convince us, biggest threat on home l homeland, we need add change, this emphasis why this election was so important, we cannot get president trump here soon enough, 18 days away from his ina inauguration and his cabinet coming in. we need all these people to get control of these ag

but intel didn't do well right. look at broadcom also in the silicon valley. but intel missed the ai boat largely had a huge drop. laid off more than 10,000 people. so it really doesn't pay to try to pick individual stocks even in a very strong year. okay. so we had a lot of things line up. a lot of things went well. but 2025 let's look at that. is it going to be a third year. i mean is third year going to be the charm? that would be a big surprise. but you never know. and y you're rit. things lined up. we had job growth. we had wage growth. two good news that bring us confidence in spending. not only when we go out to spend on groceries or presents, but also when we take a little risk and spend in the stock market. the third thing inflation was cool. prices did come down a bit, but what, if any of those things turn around? imagine losing a job, or seeing your wages drop, or knowing that the trip to the grocery store is once again going to be more expensive. that curbs people's desire to invest. okay, so going into this new year, we're also going into a new ad

it gave them a ridiculous amount of money to intel. a company that is deeply troubled. we know they prospered inside of biden. pushing back with this one too, they could not have fared that poorly. again though, i heard in spite of biden, his naivety because he would not meet with the industry leaders, there is no dialogue between fossil fuel executives. he's the anti-fossil fuel program numerals pro renewables president. they can't take it over. the oil company ceos that i know wanted to plead their case and play ball but they never got the chance. they got a kick in the teeth one year ago when the president crossed the most viable portion of the complex. putting a pause on export decisions yet, no dialogue. if you want to win the war in ukraine you need to give europe a new russian source of gas. president biden never intended to lift the pause for the greatest pool program. these are their high paid projects. biden, they say, made unreasonable rules about where you could -- the biggest despite of came from the banks. i spoke to a host of bank ceos and they can't wait

this intel capital venture arm has invested and put money into the likes of asml and vmware. it's not really -- ian: it's not really a blow for the company so much as them needing to focus on the core mission of better products and better production. those things will get them back in the game. the venture capital arm is a kind of prototype. it was the venture capital arm for corporations and has been for years. something they used to promote other parts of the industry and other technologies. you could argue that it's peripheral to the job at hand right now. caroline: as you say, the job at hand is focusing in. the other moves, you talk about the future of altera, for example, which has a significant holding. ian: it has these investments they have made over the years, companies they have brought in. you know, this started under the previous ceo, pat gelsinger, who said these things aren't realizing the value they should be, so we need to find a way to monetize them. all tara, i think they paid $15 billion for it back in the day and they are looking for investors, people to

followed by intel and moderna and charles schwab. we want to see how europe is opening up on the second day of the trump administration. we are seeing mostly green. the ftse mib is down fractionally. the cac 40 is up .25%. the dax is up fractionally as well. the bond market is up at 4.5% ahead of services and manufacturing pmi. we want to look at the oil market. remember, the president speaking a lot about his energy policy. right now, look at oil. oil is pulling back. wti crude down 1.75%. brent crude down 1%. we have to look at cryptocurrency. take a look at the moves there. cryptocurrency moving higher into the inauguration. pulling back a bit right now. ethereum 1.5%. solana and ripple. the president and first lady launching meme coins. both worth billions on paper. much more on that coming up this hour. >>> back to donald trump on the first day in office. signing 50 executive orders. the executive orders included a pause for 75 days for tiktok. one related to diversify and immigration and climate. the president not giving any ex

it was more the qualcomms and intels of the world.t a reminder to viewers that technology is cyclical. there are new winners and new losers in every cycle. i do think what we're seeing in technology, i think semiconductors are one of the more vulnerable spaces. we're focusing our efforts and suggesting to our clients to remain in software and to look at adding to exposure there. they look better. >> do you think the market in any way is onto, if you will, what's about to happen over the next handful of months and the volatility that could happen as a result of the new administration coming in, new policies that he wants to get done quickly, tariffs that could happen sooner than people may be willing to believe or the size of which, the scope of which, the strength of which could be a little more unsettling, what the talk of tax cuts could mean for rates going up further? do you think the market is on to that? as positive as the outlook still feels like it is, i'm not saying the trend is all of a sudden going to reverse itself, but the

the relatives of the hostages have gathered the intel of each waiting to be reunited with their loved ones. the raleigh has seen the highly emotional public display in a part of a city that has been made hostages. quite a broad cast on the large screen in front of the crowd showed confirmation that the 3 is ready. hostages wherever we leave, and they are already out with this cost of the prospects for the choose would come as a public uh for digital bureau by, by see night. to be honest with you on who the audience we have on was the witness how the binding admits solution were complicit with the america. with this or either the government, how the, how the used bought execute was, is to give a cover for these games of lifting you on his, the right one to extend this and they live the security council on big, long supporting them and wavering so bold to continue this unit side, but yes, the trump administration have lead broke. so i'm going to produce this moment. but this is not totally the, or this is not the only cause. i think the failure of anything you want to achieve end of is

thanks so much stiff ticket and i'm on the families of the captives held them gauze i have gathered intel of faith just now is before the cease fire is due to take effect. speakers of the demonstration, edged as round to all of the conditions of the day of thousands have been rallying in these rarely capital since the start of the war to pushing it. and yeah, whose government to secure the release of the captive of treason to continue demonstrating if the deal is broken. varying is not yet dry and extreme and forbid it says our, this gaming ways to sabotage the deed. and therefore, we begin a new phase read all fight. now our goal is to ensure this government implement the dia agreements 40. where is the web to sabotage the, for the implementation of the data? we were in the to set the think up david date. and we will not allow the big destruction of the state for more. we now joined by maryland, russell pool, who is an investigative journalist and editor at the hebrew language. and you cited local coolie joins us from tel aviv. thank you very much for being with us. first of all, i want

you've abused that privilege, so it also comes down to, liz, the fact that these intel officials thought they were better than the american people. they thought they were better than the duly-elected president at the time, trump, thought they knew better. this is part of the arrogance of these unelected bureaucrats we've seen play out for decades in d.c. they think they are above the american people and duly-elected representatives and they know better. i think that was very important move on the executive order. liz: president trump is about to come out to talk about a multi-billion dollar new investment in america's artificial intelligence involving new data centers. getting back to that do you expect biden's own officials like former secretary of state blinken could also get their security clearances revoked too because the way the trump's new executive order is written it stipulates the directors of national intelligence and the cia must submit a report by april to president trump, that includes any additional inappropriate activity from anyone connected to the letter, and we know th

he has great experience in the intel department, department of defense. i have known kash and i believe that kash is the right person at this time for this job. you will have the ability to question mr. patel when you do. >> i'm questioning whether you will enforce an enemy's list he announced publicly on television. >> there will never be an enemy's list within the department of justice. >> thank you. the f.b.i.'s -- what is the f.b.i.'s role in national security and counter terrorism and how important is that role? >> you know, senator, i believe now more than ever counter terrorism is so important and vital in our country. we are facing such incredible threats here and abroad. i'm sure many of you saw f.b.i. former f.b.i. director wray's interview on 60 minutes. he talked about the threats that frankly again i don't have my security clearance but the threat facing us, senator, from china right now that are so great. the sleeper cells within our country. >> given that importance, is it responsible to call for shutting down the f.b.i.'s counter terrorism

. >> 702 provides important intel gathering capability to protect our nation. >> extremely important okay. >> so pam, you're about to step into a job that's one of the most important jobs in any democracy. let's go back to pardons. if i'm a lawyer for somebody in jail, would you promise to listen to the application and read it before you made a decision? yes. okay. no matter who you are. good. that's the way it works. people want to bargain with you up here. will you do this? will you do that? all i ask you to do is call it as you see it. hire good, competent people and give the president the best legal advice. you can. run the department of justice in a manner that other people would want to join it one day. growing up, i had a fondness for the fbi. i watched the show. i think it was every sunday. wanted to be an fbi agent. right now, the fbi needs, need, needs an image overhaul. so you have a real task ahead of you in two areas to restore trust to many americans who have lost trust in department of justice, and to make sure that this country is safe from drug cartels that are killi

i'm glad intel is here, they are a great partner. they are making semiconductors that are competitive with the things being done in other countries. it's critical for our products in the united states. ed: palmer, it is important to have extended time to talk about arsenal i. one of the most common questions i get from the audience even if they are familiar is what does it actually do. they might know you as weapons manufacturer, or if they are a bit more researched autonomous defense systems. can we talk about what it is going to manufacture and whether technology will be sold and deployed? palmer: we look at ourselves as a defense product company. we decided what to build, how to build, we invest our own money into making that happen, we sell products to the customer. we work hand-in-hand with customers through the process. it is not like i can build a batmobile and sell it to them because it is cool. i'm sorry, what was the second part of the question? ed: what specifically -- palmer: what specifically are we building? they are dr

he did a great job as intel chair. do you?his. he said it was a foreboding. >> yeah. so do you. do you what? >> i'll just ask you this way. what do you make of the speaker of the house claiming this had nothing to do with donald trump? >> well, you know, in trump world, when you come to house republicans, the blurring of the lines, i mean, they might say that trump didn't actually pick up the phone and ask him to do something, but it's pretty clear what donald trump wants house republicans to do. you know, there is a large percentage of that caucus that travels to mar-a-lago consistently, that talks to donald trump consistently. and, you know, listen, mike turner, he's a good man. i've served several terms on the intelligence committee with him. i've traveled to ukraine with mike turner. i've spent a lot of time with him. he's a traditional peace through strength republican. i disagree with him on a lot of issues, but he's a good man. he's a serious national security professional. he knows his stuff, and i'm very disappointed

trump bankrupts 51 intel officials on day one he plans to suspend security clearances of all 51 intelgned a letter saying the hunter biden laptop had the earmarks of russian disinformation it's like he's going back and fixing things that they broke. >> yes, because i always thought it was that but the ironic thing is this leather signed by the 51 experts and officials with what cemented it was definitely his laptop because who did not sign it was hunter biden he never said that's not mine he never denied if there is a laptop where i was doing stuff like that and i know i didn't do stuff like that i would say something is like either a did or i don't remember a did it really is like don't know if it's mine which is like what i say when you're 16 and you're like i don't know how that bottle is in my room with the dew chosen from overseas is like ai left a laptop here they go actually that would be a big story. >> tyrus the great thing about the letter is now we no longer trust the media or government presenting a group of experts like 13 nobel laureates who say tariffs are bad or 96% of

intel's going to be an interesting story this year, guys. the first choice being who's going to be the new ceo. >> david's the ceo -- have you looked at the balance sheet of intel? >> i have, and so have you. >> that's a suboptimal balance sheet. >> it is obvious optimal. by -- suboptimal. by the way, nvidia coming up everywhere, even in the data center in terms of cpus. amd coming out -- like -- >> david stepped away from what i've been talking about, the palantir buying opportunity. >> buy, buy, buy. >> do you know that alex carp is one of the greatest pistol shooters in the world? >> i did not. >> 260 yards. bang. >> you mentioned it was starting to make its move. >> yeah. go ahead, make my day, carp. i've been a carp enthusiast lately. went to central high. he's got this philadelphia thing with haverford. kind of like -- >> he doesn't like you. nothing's going to change that. he doesn't like you. i've seen it up close. he does not like you. >> 835918. that's my mommy's phone number, he can call my mommy. maybe she'll yell at me. of cours

why do we have 0 intel on him do you think? >> that's a great question. believe we had 0 intel on him because we said to the american people you see something say something, i'm sure a lot of people saw that but no one said anything to anybody. where are our law enforcement agencies and dare i add where does the response ability of these social media platform owners come in on this? they are monitoring the stuff all the time, you see something like that, that is a real red flag that something terrible is going to happen, no one said anything. ashley: do we know anything about the new orleans attacker, a trip to egypt to that i have been reading about, do we know anything more about that? >> nothing more about that but it is a great question. we don't know much more about anything in my view. the fbi first comes out and says it's not terrorist related, than they say it is terrorist related, now they are telling us there is no connection between las vegas and new orleans attacks. i believe there is. i believe there is. the dots need to be connected. what bo

. >> todd: jeremy hunt, former army intel captain, joins us now. this is not a new idea.sed this four decades ago. you were not even a glean in your parent's eye. why did it take donald trump in his first week to make this a reality? >> well, i think it is refreshing to have a president that prioritizes american national security. he's spot on with this executive order. the threat is high. in intel agencies even under joe biden have been sounding the alarm we're at significant threat level in the united states. we saw how chinese surveillance f flew through american air space without being deterred at all. americans are wondering if we're truly safe. not just in air space, ccp is buying farm land next to our military bases and trying to control our food supply lines, protection of products farmers depend on, is at risk. president trump is right to think outside the box and can make sure americans at home are safe. >> todd: israel's system targeting short-range threats and israel is size of new jersey, not as much space to of coer as united states of america. we need to pr

that was like the death knell in that story that made it almost impossible to run with because 51 intels passionate san even though he worked for administrators. mark zuckerberg was briefed in the summer before the laptop story broke, thanks to rudy giuliani and the "new york post" just like they told me in the summer i want to continue to find out hot fbi agents who told zuckerberg that and the agents who talked to the owner of the computer repair shop and made them seem like the criminals instead of saying thank you for coming forward. we will look into that. >> absolutely. same thing with twitter. the fbi is definitely a part of this deep state cover-up of joe biden's corruption. and i'm sure that kash patel, john bondi, john ratcliffe and tulsi gabbard will get to the bottom of it. >> brian: by the way, do you know who was president during this time? >> yeah. >> brian: even before the bidens were in office, they had the power of the fbi in many cases. >> they are completely out of control. unaccountable deep staters and they acted against donald trump his entire first presidency. >>

the intelligence community and what do senators on intel want to see or hear from her? services and more. welcome, senator, thank you for being with us. john ratcliffe flew through the committee with overwhelming vote and what do you expect for tulsi gabbard and what do they want to know or hear from her? >> thanks for the opportunity, and look, i think tulsi has a path forward and a lot depends on how much she does in the opening hearing and going for them ask with the numbers of the senate and going to watch for their performance and going to show them going for the grasp of the intelligence process and how to get the right information to the president and literally going with 18 different sources and going to lay that out in a timely fashion for him. that's what this is going to come down to. i think she's got a really good opportunity to make this happen angoing to be a fair and orderly process. trey: there's overlap in the fbi and intelligence community and working together and what he was asked to do. he worked very hard at direction of them and where do you think

journalist by like flooding is intel of even told us about the latest developments . i guess on his radio official, the just an hour ago was said that the there will be no return of the gauze incidentals on this uh betty, who day or any foods issue is settled. uh uh, from what we understand the degree she ation still continued to thoughts with the mediators. and the issue is still not being good results. now this started actually a more than a week ago when is the last sunday after the release of the 3 civilians has said that the demand, the release of a bill as soon as saturdays when the next cycle that didn't happen on saturday and right after the floor if the male soldiers literally is yesterday. so this hospital where i am right now, they have said that they will not let the causes to go to the north because our bill was not believe this is not the 1st time that the band is not released. also back in mid november, 2023. the same thing happened. her family was expecting her release and that did not happen. and i guess starting now the leverage is and israel's have,

movies are actually the same day that so they would keep filing until their suicide actually enters intel come into effect. right. it's an interesting thing that would be their legs to, to this rule in a dispute in park is quite small, as you know, considering that you're not is not interested at this point. this is by large be excessive associates abuse. not just doing the role is i want us agreed and it leaves the stores, it's not even a c site. so we, we, we see that there we continue just to make them stay in the northeast. but i think in all of this, we see a very slow journey at tools because of the nature of the 0 to us. we know that on to you know how to enter into this way. besides, we're not prepared to make the necessary concession and we, we know that they have very similar deals on that they've been already in, in may as it's nathaniel was not, was not interested also because of the, of the, of the question from the far right. so i think every step of the ready between now days of the social sciences and we get to the 2nd phase, we're needing to initial a community to make su

one person has been seriously interested in a stabbing attack intel of beef and was police are calling a terrorist with origin. sadie of silent was a 19 year old fellow student in from the west fox, who was staying illegally in his room. the attack that was shot dead by a possible in nigeria, and at least 70 people have been killed and many others injured. after the fuel tank over turned in dicko and the northern state of niger it's bill gasoline, which then exploded. the state governor says many of the dead were killed while trying to scoop up a few dozens of people i've been interested up for a chat live collapse than the spanish. the result of us doing. and the attorneys officials say several of the engines are in a serious condition. rescue crews have been using helicopters to help free dozens of most of us who are still trapped on the mountain. do as president elect, donald trump has said in an interview that he's likely to give tick tock a 90 day reprieve. often he takes office on monday. the social media platform was due to become inaccessible to americans. from sunday, off of t

he himself can appoint who could be the chair of the intel committee.y do a lot of top secret work because of their intelligence. but it's really it came out of nowhere. it shocked a lot of people and a lot of mike turner loyalists on capitol hill, that out of what they saw out of nowhere, johnson removing him from that really important post. yeah, we're hearing it has to do with his handling over a very important surveillance bill in the last congress, apparently, mar-a-lago, trump loyalists were really concerned over that. a lot of ultra conservative members on capitol hill were concerned about how he handled that. but there's still a lot of questions surrounding what happened. and that's why we saw jim himes, who's the top democrat on that committee, come out and say, you know, i'm very concerned that this happened. i'm going to be asking a lot of questions. so while that happened to note last night why after congress had finished votes, i'm sure today we're going to get a lot more questions answered on why that happened. >> absolutely. because the s

intel reveals hamas as recruited as many as 15,000 new fighters since the war started.s retired lieutenant colonel donald arias. lieutenant colonel, thank you for joining and yous your service to this country. >> thank you, it was my honor. jason: as you see this unfold, what are your thoughts? >> well, you know, i'm very happy these young women are going to be brought here . we call them women but really kids, 19 and 20-year-old idf soldiers that have gone through horrific conditions. more than 1200 men, women, and children were slaughtered and some really grizzly ways. we have to keep this whole deal in perspective. these 15,000 new recruits have been emboldened by this trade. they see that has tajikistan taking and -- hostage taking and terrorism works. it's being done in a peace meal fashion, and it's totally disproportionate to what the crime has been and to what the palestinians will get in return, it's a bad deal. i think negotiating with terrorists ultimately is always a mistake because it legitimize that had a lawless efforts and lawless tactics. it also de-leg

now, speaks to what i think people are concerned about that national security is being used by the intelnity through our government, through our laws to control our thought. instead of focusing on real threats. listen. >> dhs under biden administration used vast pows to target americans exercising their constitutional rights. it's become an agency more focused on policing speech, monitoring social media and labeling political dissent as domestic terrorism than addressing genuine security threats. rachel: is the problem they can't control like -- the government can control facebook, can control instagram, but they can't control tiktok. is that really what the heart of the problem? why focus just on tiktok? charlie: it's such a great point. the biden administration was bullying facebook and other american tech companies and if china is spying on the united states through tiktok, which it is, why don't we also go after china? it's almost like that monster is so big that the biden administration and a lot of democrats in particular don't want to take on the real fight. joey: videos on tiktok
