marco rubio did. so whoever this ambassador is,'. they don't know what they're talking about. >> um, now that rubio looks obviously safe, pete hegseth looks like he's going to be confirmed. there's new focus on tulsi gabbard as being perhaps the most problematic trump nominee. what are you hearing in terms of how confident the trump transition is that she will get confirmed? >> that's always a tricky question, because in trump world, when you ask them, how confident are you about something on a scale of 1 to 100%, they're always going to say 110%. now, that said, they will acknowledge that of all of the nominees, the one who is encountering and could encounter the most turbulence is tulsi gabbard. she has, in some of these meetings with republican senators, according to both punchbowl news and the wall street journal, struggled at times to answer questions about her views on surveillance. she doesn't seem or didn't seem in some of these meetings, to be as well prepared for the job of national director of intelligence. now, some republ

it is going to be a real test for marco rubio.rson known for being the transactional thinker. it is a deep track record of supporting for example foreign aid, being tough on russia, of being tough on iran. he is going to be doing lots of twists and turns. he is sort of the bendik that the all ready i would say. be a little cynical about it. look at the department likes to have secretaries who know the president well and who are internationalists and he fits that bill. he has the full support of the senate. former senators intend to get that person from their former colleagues but i think folks in the department will be happy that they may be a refuge and island of normal in a very abnormal demonstration. to i cannot help but think watching his remarks today that he felt like it was a natural ft for marco rubio to take up this. his role in the senate, intelligence committee and set him up for this but he thanked the state department employees who were working around the world and even the local staff which is really important not t

you got marco rubio and people like that. i think the foreign policy is largely going to remain the same. the difference is going to be rhetorical. you know, does trump, uh, how much does he support israel, how him happy se, about supporting israel. it's not going to change from trump versus by then. i think maybe the greenland thing is a good example of the drums out would be in different than bivens where, you know, the international world order says you can change borders, but trump sees a change the world he sees greenland being up north to having a territory in the arctic circle and understands that as the, you know, ice cap melts if it melts, then that's going to create, you know, new negotiations over trade routes and how the more lee i did the art at circle means that the us gets more leverage up there also, if you started looking at the globe, you know, from the north point it down, you see how close russia is to greenland and things like that. and so i think that's kind of trump's view point there. yeah, well i'm fi

marco rubio is to answer your question marco rubio is in a sense a conventional figure of the republicant wing of the republican party but he's a classic right—winger, he's tough on russia, tough on china, he's the son of cuban immigrant who fled from the castro regime, so he's quite tough on communism generally. i'm not saying he's extremely well known around europe but he's a figure people will find familiar and they will be able to talk to him, no work they're coming from. in terms of how peter mendelson handles things, he is an extremely experienced politician, and he did a lot of international stuff in his time. he was over in brussels working with multinational commission there, he will know how to handle things, but you have to use a combination of appearing to support, congratulate the trump administration on their achievements and successes to get across your own points about how you think they should do some things differently. but he can do that. and just finally, on ukraine. where do you think the trump administration is heading and again, how much sway does the uk have chris

i marco rubio. i, marco rubio. do solemnly swear. that i will support and defend.ion of the united. against all enemies. against all enemies, foreign and domestic. that i will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. that i will bear true faith i and allegiance to the same. that i take this obligation freely. that i take this. obligation freely... jd vans will be swearing them all into office so it's a pretty busy day for him —— jd vance. president trump is back down to business and always in front of a crowd. he has signed executive orders, including pardoning nearly all the trump supporters who stormed the capital four years ago. many were convicted of trying to overthrow the us government. he started rolling back biden—era policies, pulling out of the paris climate change deal and the world health organization. could you imagine biden doing this? i don't think so. cheering it has been a long road back to power for donald trump. he has overcome two impeachment trials, several criminal indictments and an assassination attempt. it seems only a hat can hold him b

. >> sandra: joey, apparently marco rubio was asked about this in real time.responded as he learned the news the senate foreign relations committee confirmation hearing a few minutes ago. i am a please make place to see the return of hostages but i prayed this is implemented and marco rubio said that is good news and not just about the cease-fire, although that is important, potentially we've had dynamic shift in the region that has given historic opportunity appropriately structured and pursued that changes the dynamic, he says, what might be possible. i want to make sure i get that in there as he is responding as he learns the news. >> yeah, i think politically it's a biden administration and incoming administration take a victory lap if this goes through. they should, but it is obvious at this moment with the recent comments from trump's cabinet picks and his own comments not to mention the work on the ground. to the region know trump handles things differently. at some point, this speaks, and neck softly with a big stick but speaks loudly and i think that
