president-elect trump set to speak at mar-a-lago a short time around.ng out at his predecessor saying biden is doing everything possible to make the transition as difficult as possible from lawfare such as never been seen before to costly and ridiculous executive orders on the green new scam and other money wasting hoaxes. bret baier we're awaiting the press conference. what do you think you'll hear today? >> bret: good morning. i think we will hear a lot of that rhetoric we saw on truth social. some of the things he said in recent days about his concern over oil drilling and access to off shore sites that were blocked now by president biden. i think there will be this effort to turn that around once president trump gets in office after the 20th. but there are some questions whether it has to be through not only executive order but maybe the courts and maybe congress as well. i think he is going to lay out what the vision is here as he gets closer and closer to the 20th. i said last week that my sense is from trump world that there is going to be this s

last night at mar-a-lago, it was head turning to see the individuals welcomed to mar-a-lago for an event based around a film on john eastman. folks will recall that john eastman was one of the lawyers indicted as part of the racketeering charges in georgia, along with donald trump. john eastman was a lawyer who told donald trump the vice president could legally reject electoral college votes and send them back to the states. this for donald trump was not just john eastman who he welcomed back to mar-a-lago. it was rudy giuliani, peter navarro who served four months in jail for defying a subpoena from the january 6th committee. it included jeffrey clark, another individual indicted on rico charges in georgia. for donald trump, he was doing all of this, kind of merged two events at once. not only appearing with the likes of those individuals but also at the same time, italian prime minister georgia maloney. so i want to let you know about another incident from senator john thune, the incoming senate majority leader. he was asked about january 6th and donald trump's suggestion that he would

they have definitely remained allies and visited mar-a-lago here and there.t night, just two weeks before january 20th was inauguration day, i think was a clear indicator and affirmation that donald trump will defend those who are duty flee loyal to him. this is at a time when he said he would look at the cases of those individuals that attacked the capitol four years ago, and there have been more than 1,100 individuals who ascended on the capitol, and part of this is also the parallel between welcoming individuals like michael flynn, who is a conspiracy theoryists, and he had conversations with donald trump about potentially implementing martial law and seizing voting machines. that event happening in parallel to a top european leader in the italian prime minister in merging those two events, i think is an indication of donald trump's style of leadership, and this is mar-a-lago, and not only trudeau has flown to, and the new nato secretary general, and this is the time when everybody is cognizant of the importance of having a close relationship with donald t

west palm beach and mar-a-lago is really the center of the political universe. it has been for months as president-elect trump continues the hold these meetings. pretty much if all these republicans who want to bend his ear and talk about that one big bill or other things happening in washington are meeting e over at mar-a-lago. take a live look, that's what's happening right now. more house republicans from blue states like new york, new jersey and california are expected to come to palm beach, florida, for meetings this weekend. so comes as trump was sentenced in that so-called hush money case that we've been talking about for months. trump called it an embarrassment yesterday. he finally had a chance to talk about it because he had that gag order that was ongoing, appearing virtually from mar-a-lago, seen on that screen inside a new york city courtroom with his lawyer. the president-elect sentenced on 34 felony charges of falsifying his business records, but he was given unconditional discharge. for people listening at home, what a does that mean? that means

what do we know about this gathering at mar-a-lago? >> reporter: it's where the action is going to be on january 6th, tomorrow, but this weekend, the action was here down in palm beach at mar-a-lago. the former president and now president-elect hosting a cadre of election deniers who were instrumental in his efforts to try to overturn the 2020 election. you're seeing some of those individuals. john eastman, lawyer who was indicted in the georgia racketeering indictment that donald trump was included in. he was the one on january 5th and january 6th who was pressing donald trump that he could tell mike pence, his vice president, that he had the legal ability to reject electors on january 6th and send them back to the states. you also had peter navarro who served four months in jail for denying the january 6th subpoena. also michael flynn. jeffrey hart, the doj official who urged other officials to put out false statements. they were there for a movie screening featuring john eastman. this comes four years after the capitol attack which

what was interesting was trump was on at mar-a-lago discussing a new $20 billion investment from thet in data centers in the u.s. those are going to have nvidia chips. he's going to be a winner. the cfo has been speaking about the jp morgan event, particularly that blackwell and ai accelerators are here to stay for the next decade. this is longtail vision when you think about autonomous driving, about robotics. that is why the analyst are calling out this is long-term gains. where is the near-term wins? it has 70 buys and zero cells. scarlet: it has done well for shareholders. if you want specifics, go to what the cfo was saying. caroline hyde, "bloomberg technology" cohost on the latest with nvidia. coming up, dockworkers and east coast port employers are back in the negotiating table today. if the deal cannot be reached, the strike -- the east coast could see another strike taking place. we will look at the potential fallout next. this is bloomberg. ♪ scarlet: talks resuming between the dockworkers union and their employers at major east coast and gulf coast ports. there is one maj

so, donald trump eight mar-a-lago press conference today what was your take away?ress conferences i missed having them. i missed having a president who constrained more than a couple syllables and conjunctions together so that was nays deceived. i missed the humor about i3 points to make. i think my second point will help with this you touched on something that is huge and no one else was talking about and that is the division tactics of the left are going to use on the right pair and want to remind everyone that we have a very fragile but yet very unified coalition. there is a difference between a party and a coalition and republicans are learning about this for the first time in this generation. i didn't grow up with a coalition i grew up with a party based know we have a collision so you're going to start to see the reagan 8020 rule rule come and it's a little harder for the right to get things done you have to negotiate and figure out where to give or take but the 80% is not your 20% enemy end. you have to learn what to consolidate on and want to come together

talk is through the reality of what it is we are watching both the celebration at mar-a-lago and this ruling from judge merchan? >> it's really rich for john eastman to talk about l'affaire when the entire scream, the electorate scheme hatched by kenneth chesebro and troopers who were able to get it to the white house when trump was in the white house and get it to people like john eastman who continue to promote it. that was l'affaire. that was trying to concoct a legal argument, dubious as it was, in order to support an effort the electro ballots from the swing states, the losing candidate, donald trump, to send those electoral ballots to capitol hill to be counted on january 6. we were at the four year anniversary tomorrow january 6 and in the words of those who concocted this scheme to throw things into chaos so if no candidate had a majority of the vote, then the house would vote and the houseboats one vote per state and that would throw the election to trump. that's what john eastman engaged in. to bring it together the, the celebration of those who took part in the lead up to j

incoming officials planning to offer extended tax deductions at mar-a-lago meetings in exchange for salt republicans to fall in line with trump's agenda including a tax bill likely coming later this year. lawmakers have told me this is the debate right now, the salt lawmakers want an assurance that they will get the salt deduction cap lifted in exchange for their vote for the border money. they want $100 billion in border money. politico writes this, one proposal being discussed would allow married couples to deduct $20,000 of state and local taxes from federal income taxes. under current law married couples can deduct $10,000. republican lawmakers in high tax states have been holding out for a potential move like this. with a razor thin house majority they have influence. lindsey graham told me this weekend he's against the salt deduction, though. watch. >> as we negotiate tax cuts, they're tax cutting people and i'm one of them that won't vote for border until they get all their taxes. i'm not a big fan of the salt deduction. i live in south carolina where we have low taxes. why should

eastern at mar-a-lago. lots of news will be made and drive the day. fox news for that. we'll give you details if anything comes beforehand. judge merchan denies trump's request to delay a sentencing hearing set for friday 10 days before his inauguration. let's bring in andy mccarthy, former assistant u.s. attorney. call for number one, please, the prosecutor's reasons why the sentencing should not be delayed. they say trump is currently not engaged in any official presidential functions. that his arguments are patently meritless and there is compelling public interest to proceed with the sentencing. i'm not sure about that last one in particular, andy. give us your take. >> well, the last one is the only important one, right, dana? the public interest here i think was pretty emphatically underscored in the election result. that don't mean that new york progressive democrats don't have an interest in having president-elect trump branded a convicted felon before he enters office. the only reason to do this especially given that merchan is basically sayi

it was clearly a move from mar-a-lago. this was meant to purge him for not only what you talked about in your setup piece, but also his vocal advocacy for ukraine. this was something that he was passionate about. i know mike well. we are friends. we disagree on a lot of things, but one thing that he is very, very strong on is making sure that we have a bipartisan intelligence committee approach to holding the intelligence community accountable. and one of those subjects that we are constantly talking about is ukraine. and that's something that donald trump obviously was very, very upset about. >> nbc news is reporting a republican lawmaker who spoke to representative turner spelled out how the former chairman could make life difficult for speaker johnson, who is under pressure to deliver for donald trump. mike turner did not vote on wednesday or thursday. i think turner will burn the house down. this lawmaker said. he will be a no vote on everything. i mean, he just got totally effed. you've spoken, i believe, with represe

. >> when you saw the insecure way those documents were stored at mar-a-lago, did it make your stomach> well, it certainly of great concern. >> back in 2023, mike turner, the chairman of the house intelligence committee, criticized donald trump's decision to store hundreds of classified documents down at mar-a-lago. turner had also previously criticized trump's 2019 call with ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky. the one where trump pressured zelensky to announce an investigation into joe biden. >> i've read the transcript of the conversation with the president and the president of ukraine concerning that conversation. >> i want to say to the president, this is not okay. it is. >> that conversation is not okay. >> and i think it's disappointing to the american public when they read the transcript. >> apparently, criticism like that comes at a cost. yesterday, house speaker mike johnson invited representative turner to his office and informed mr. turner that he was removing him from a very powerful post as chair of the house intelligence committee. the speaker told reporters last nigh

america is the land of opportunity, and investors from all over the world are flying to mar-a-lago to checks. a middle eastern billionaire just announced he's investing $20 billion here. >> i'm thrilled to announce today that dmcc will be investing at least $20 billion over a very short period of time into the united states, and they may go double or even somewhat more than double that amount of money. the investment will support massive new data centers across the midwest, the sun belt area, and also to keep america on the cutting edge of technology and artificial intelligence. he's very big into the data centers. >> this money is going to kick start trump's ai economy and create high paying jobs. it's just such a shame biden's been holding this economy hostage. >> it's been amazing news for me and my family. when he was elected in november. we've been waiting four years to increase our investments in u.s. to very large amount of money. >> and the last few weeks, asia and the mideast have announced investments totaling over $100 billion into the united states of america. it's a nice

i did nothing wrong. >> reporter: and he did that in a virtual hearing although he was in mar-a-lagoere to fight against those charges and finally be able to speak against them, alicia. we'll see what happens today. alicia: he was waiting for that moment. alexis mcadams, thank you so much. for the latest on the trump transition, let's bring in our political panel. with us today is gop strategist joe pinion and former new york state senator david car lucci. gentlemen, so good to see you. joe, i want to begin with you and, curious, what impact, if any, do you think this sentence, this non-sentence sentence will have on the president-elect? >> well, hook, i think in some -- look, i think in some way it's kind of the reward that the democrats were looking for to try to have the president officially branded as a criminal. certainly, president trump is going to appeal. and, again, this entire process from the jack smith case to the alvin bragg case, to the fani case down in georgia which was nonsense, all of it was predicated on the notion that they wanted to label president trump as a fel

and now, some of my colleagues want to race down to mar-a-lago to bend the knee and pretend like they are the firefighters? it is a laughable thing. house democrats will work with any serious minded individuals to fully restore the state and local tax adduction in order to help working families and the middle class who were hurt by the gop tax scam and the destruction of the state and local tax deduction. >> -- prior to that, icc released arrest warrants against vladimir putin for his abduction of ukrainian children. you think the sanctions against the icc may undermine efforts to bring justice to the russian government and do you agree with this bill? rep. jeffries: i voted against the bill in the last congress and i will evaluate if i will vote against or for the bill in the next. >> where do you specifically see places for bipartisan cooperation on immigration? is the border deal on the congress floor? rep. jeffries: is a starting place for a serious bipartisan discussion and we are willing to have that conversation because we believe as democrats we need a safe and strong and secu

they're at mar-a-lago. you see house republicans being invited to come next weekend to mar-a-lago. it's going to be incumbent upon donald trump to ensure a nonfractured republican majority in the house and senate in order to achieve his legislative agendas, and so in many ways, the aftermath of the january 6th attack, and for those ten house republicans that voted to impeach donald trump, eight of them no longer in the u.s. congress, i think was, if you take the attack piece out of this, it was a representation of the way donald trump could use his power over the congress, just down pennsylvania avenue from him, come the next four years. and i think it's a representation of the way in which he will utilize that power to have a stronghold on republican majorities that he needs to have in his corner. >> yeah, he's shown them all that he doesn't go away, and that when he decides to say something and to continue saying it, that he can convince a whole lot of people that it's true, and they're the ones that find themselves on the losing side, if they decide to -- or they try to go again

but i think, joy, to your point, i think with respect to the mar-a-lago piece, that is something that we are entitled to see and there also is likely to be information in there not only about donald trump, and according to jack smith why he took the documents and what he intended to do with them, but remember kash patel is all over that case. and kash patel has said that he saw donald trump declassify the documents. and we know that jack smith thinks that's not true. so it would be useful to have all of the evidence about that before kash patel's confirmation hearing. there is more to be continued there. it's a complicated story. but i think the main holdup there is not so much judge cannon or the 11th circuit it is really merrick garland and whether he is going to continue to adhere to the position that he does not want to release publicly the mar-a-lago portion of the report. >> merrick garland making the wrong call? shudder to think. shocker of all shockers. paul butler, lisa rubin, andrew weissmann, our dream team, thank you for being here and available tonight for this breaking n

he probably knows more about the mar-a-lago case than even the prosecutors in the mar-a-lago case. knows more about donald trump's abuse of classified information than virtually anybody in the country. he is a member of the gang of eight. as the intel chairman, who received a briefing on some of the nation's most highly classified information, including any malfeasance or misconduct by executive, by the executive branch. and so he knows a lot. but i think what is also disconcerting about his removal is should mike turner had remained in that chairmanship, he would also have access to any malfeasance now about to occur in the next four years. and i think where donald trump and his team, together with mike johnson, likely wanted mike turner out is indeed, as david frum said, he knew too much. but also he was in a position to know even more going forward. and you have to look at the pattern here of mike johnson. this is really one of the dirtiest parts of mike johnson's brief tenure. consider who else he has put on the intel committee. he sent shockwaves by putting scott perry of penn

the optics of going to the palace at mar-a-lago.iden invited anyone to dinner anywhere? at the white house or at any one of his homes, several homes he had, the poor guy who worked for the government his whole life and had all these beachfront homes. i'm just sick of it. kamala harris was all about joy and unity and their like you go, kamala, but they are not about joy and unity. they are about giving liz cheney and adam kinzinger, you know, medals of honor, whatever metals they gave them, because they hated trump. it is about hate and i am done with them. >> sandra: greg, do your frequent visits have to do with your mug change? >> greg: didn't ask to touch my mug. >> sandra: up next, a new era in the briefing room. press secretary karoline leavitt takes on the media. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> greg: karoline leavitt making her debut -- the tea is silent. trumps white house press secretary and warning reporters. >> we welcome independent journalists, podcasters, social media influencers, and content creators to apply for credentials to cover this w

trump is clearly relishing all the attention he has been getting up mar-a-lago. he says everybody wants to be my friend now. for his aides, some of them are rolling their eyes at this idea that corporate ceos think they can make the last four years go away by making a donation to his inauguration fund. especially about $1 million or so. i think there clearly relishing this rush to get back in his good graces, and it remains to be seen how effective some of these efforts will be. it's been pretty striking. to give one example, after january 6, facebook suspended trump's account accusing him of inciting violence. just a couple of weeks ago, mark zuckerberg was at mar-a- lago and put his hand over his heart as the january 6 choir is singing over the loudspeaker the national anthem. to be fair they did not announce who was singing but it shows how far things have come. >> i want to stay on that because social media companies after january 6 were under huge scrutiny. all those ceos were on the hot seat. best practices, content moderation, hate speech. was content on t

he talked about crime while speaking with reporters outside of his new year's eve party at mar-a-lago. >> the crime numbers are going through the roof. >> reporter: mike johnson met at mar-a-lago as he tries to shore up support to be re-elected as speaker on friday when the new congress convenes. >> he's a good man. he's a very -- he's a wonderful person. and that's what you need. >> reporter: trump has endorsed johnson to retain the speaker's gavel when the new congress convenes on friday. the president-elect believes johnson will win the election, but concedes, there's work to be done. >> there's a lot of work to be done right now. almost everybody likes him. others are good, too. they have 30 or 40 people that don't like them. that's tough. >> reporter: kentucky congressman thomas massey is one of the house republicans who say he won't vote for johnson. and others say they are unsure. >> i remain undecided as do a number of my colleagues because we saw so many failures last year that we are concerned that might limit or inhibit our ability to advance the president's agenda. >> repo

all the people who went to mar a lago, all the money the u.s.ernment had to pay because he was overcharging to have the secret service and his staff all stay there. are we just going to get that this time around? but supercharged since he didn't get in trouble for it last time, he's he's figured out how to double down and charge even more. >> yeah, of course. >> i think that's going to happen. the other thing is. >> if he's conducting. official business. >> at mar-a-lago and. >> you have none of the record keeping or cataloging that you would have at the white house in terms of. >> who he's meeting. >> with and who he's visiting. >> with. >> it introduces another level of opacity into trump's. dealings as president. and the more time he's conducting public business from there, rather than from the white house, people should be concerned about. >> what he's. >> doing in the dark. >> oh, boy. mr. o'brien, eat your wheaties. stephanie. make sure you get your runs in. stay hydrated. you got work to do, brother. when we return. >> it's. >> good to. >

jeff bezos coming down to mar-a-lago bending the knee with mark zuckerberg.m apple who is coming down to mar-a-lago to talk with trump. i think biden's taking note of it because listen in his farewell address last night. listen here. >> today, and oligarch is taking shape in america at the extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our enteric democracy. we need to get dark money coach at that funding behind too many campaign contributions. need to get up out of the politics. >> john: boy, he was not complaining when all that money went to his campaign. >> exactly, but there was something to be said how much oligarchs have control over the country. some slightly pulled away from devotion to the democrat party, it is a bit much. to take as an example mark zuckerberg is cohosting a reception for the inauguration. i think he gave $1 million. >> john: jeff bezos gave a bunch of money. >> talk about hidden financial transactions, he spent 400 plus million dollars two nonprofit groups 2020 to help deliver the outcome to joe biden. but is nice to

he's clearly relishing all the attention he's getting at mar-a-lago, saying everybody wants to be myw. for his aides, some are even rolling their eyes at this idea that corporate ceos think they can make the last four years go away making a donation to his fund, especially -- about $1 million or so. they're relishing the rush to get back in his good graces and remains to be seen how effective the efforts can be. but it's been striking. to give you one example, after january 6th, facebook suspended trump's account, accusing him of inciting violence. couple of weeks ago, mark zuckerberg was at mar-a-lago and put his hand over his heart as the january 6th choir is singing the national anthem. they didn't announce who was singing but it shows how far things have come. >> social media companies after january 6th were under huge scrutiny, ceos in the hot seat, questions about best practices, content moderation, hate speech. was there content that led to january 6th? after that, donald trump was tossed from twitter. fast forward, zuckerberg wasn't just giving money, they don't have content

stuart: as you know democrat senator john fetterman made the trip to mar-a-lago.s been vocal about working with the president-elect and keeping an open mind. fellow democrats though, they aren't taking kindly to that approach. my question to you is, do you need democrat support to get the trump agenda done? >> well republicans need to get smart and get tough and stick together and then we can pass president trump's agenda but certainly we welcome democrats to get a little bit of common sense to shed their trump derangement syndrome and to work with republicans to deliver on the priority that the american people want to see accomplished. border security, tackling inflation, cutting the waste, the fraud and abuse out of our federal government and returning to common sense policies. i give a lot of credit to senator fetterman for reaching across the aisle and saying a lot of what donald trump is saying makes sense. that's why he won the commonwealth of pennsylvania in november. democrats should take a page out of fetterman's playbook and as president trump has always

people go down to mar-a-lago, kiss the ring, kiss the ring.f no one went to mar-a-lago, he's irrelevant. no one likes him. no, no, that's exactly how you would respond. >> be honest. >> no. because, well, first of all, one of the great things that donald trump did was to help develop the vaccine for covid. and he doesn't talk about it much because his base doesn't like it. and i give him great credit for that. >> i'm going to get a clip of this. >> yeah, i do, because i didn't trust it at first, but i'm happy to give him credit for the things that he, that he, that he does. >> but but, you know, i think that this is we can't just normalize everything trump does and come up with some excuse for why it's okay. because these things have never happened before. we've never had some people haven't gone to meet with president elect, no president. >> no no no no no. has no one met with joe biden? >> barack obama, bill clinton? >> and then we have to go. >> yeah, we've never had a situation where there's corruption and cronyism is a requirement in orde
