they reported jim acosta will be moved to midnight. maybe there are other reasons to do that but it looks as if they are trying to throw a bone to trump by doing that. you have a guy who has authoritarian impulses. he tried to blow up american democracy declaring he won an election he did not win and inciting violence he is now poised to excuse and justify with pardons. i think that is sending a shockwave of fear to a lot of people throughout society. i think democrats still have not found their footing and have been waiting and seeing or not being strong enough, particularly on some of the inexperienced and extreme appointments donald trump has put forward. host: let's get to some questions from our callers. democrats, 202-748-8000. republicans, 202-748-8001. independents, 202-748-8002. bob is an logan, utah, on the line for democrats. good morning. caller: good morning, c-span listeners. when trump gives his speech, i hope you talks about the stories told a number of times. he tells about a woman who nurses a dying snake back to heal

i'm jim acosta in washington. we will get to donald trump jr.. s trip to greenland in just a moment. but we begin with donald trump's new legal fight, just a day after congress officially certified his election win. trump's lawyers have reviewed a draft of the special counsel's final report on two federal investigations into the president elect. they're now trying to block the report's release and threatening legal action if it's made public. cnn chief legal affairs correspondent paula reid joins me now. paula, tell us more about this report. when it could be released. why do they want to block it? >> so we expected that this would be released on friday. but what has happened here is that trump's lawyers are saying no, not so fast. because look, the special counsel, he is required by regulation to release this report detailing his investigative decisions. this is the same thing we saw with robert mueller. same thing we saw with robert hoar, who investigated president biden. and it's up to the attorney general once he or she receives the report, w

cnn's jim acosta reportedly threatened to quit after being banished to the midnight time slot. but in a last minute attempt to boost his ratings, acosta's show will air without audio or video. >> as ice. >> hauled off a haitian gang member, he said, f trump, biden forever. sorry, that wasn't a haitian gang member. that was jill biden. they often get confused. true. on trump's first day in office, ice arrested over 300 illegals. wow. now who's going to trim joy? because bush is bush as. air pushes air. >> oh, boy. >> bushes. >> it's not getting better. >> in his new book, gop congressman jim comer writes that jerry nadler, no joke, smells like a truck stop restroom, which is false. truck stop restrooms are cleaned once a day. the uk said it would not recognize trump's name change from the gulf of mexico to the gulf of america. trump replied great uk. from now on we call you f uk. the colorado supreme court ruled that elephants in a zoo can't sue to be set free because they're not human. in related news, the view has canceled their ski trip to aspen. because their fat. nancy pelo

the ex-wife speaking of the the oath keepers, the ex-wife of stewart rhodes, told my colleague jim acosta a short time ago she's worried about his release from jail. she's worried about his followers. are you worried about your safety? >> oh, yeah. i've had a smear campaign going on for a year and a half, and i'm sure it's getting well. it's getting worse right now. uh, but you know what? i don't like bullies. and i'm going to keep speaking about the facts of january 6th. their narrative is not going to last forever because we got the facts. we got the its propaganda. everything they've said can be debunked with court records research, but they don't want to do that. you know, they just keep putting out trump's lies, you know, to stay the victim. and it's really frurating because i'm trying to get people to do your own research. you know, when you're in the maga cult, you lose your critical thinking. and since i've gotten away, i've read a lot of books i've done. i researched the researchers. now i want to make sure i've got the facts, whether i like them or not. it doesn't matter. i want

i'm jim acosta in washington. you are live in the cnn newsroom. we begin this morning up on capitol hill. cnn's lauren fox is there for day three of president trump's cabinet picks, as they're facing some tough questions from senators. lauren, who's going to be under the microscope the most today? do you think? >> yeah, i am standing outside of the senate finance committee hearing room. this is where we expect to see trump's pick to lead the treasury department. scott bessent this is going to be a really key hearing today. there are a couple reasons why that will be the case. this may be the first opportunity that we have to get a good glimpse into what the trump administration in their second term agenda looks like when it comes to economic policy. obviously, there's going to be a lot of questions in this room from republicans and democrats alike. i expect on what trump's tariff plans look like. we also have seen that in the past with steve mnuchin, the previous treasury secretary, that that person played a critical role in making sure that donal

stuart: just seeing pop up arie cnn anchor jim as acosta contentious in the first week of trump's presidencying cnn now? >> first of all, he is the epitome how the media went all the rails he was not there to report -- he was not there to tell cnn viewers what happened. he was there to challenge donald trump and to give his opinion. with the blessing of his editors that's how adversarial reporting was in trump's first term not acting like that and they're being normal reporters at least for a little while. cnn wanted to move him to a midnight show i suspect he didn't want to take the move to a midnight show, and it's a sign of how donald trump is changing things. it is also a sign of how much trouble cnn and mainstream media are in if they follow their old formula. >> you're right on both accounts. thanks for being with us this morning big day we appreciate you being here. thanks, arie. it is that time when we show you the dow 30 -- get stocks at the market i think we're going see plenty of red how about that -- the dow itself is up what, 19 points. but the overall market is showing signs of
