the trump agenda. we're waiting for him to arrive. we've got breaking news happening right now. a major new victory for trump. nine liberal senators now backed the laken riley act to crackdown on illegal aliens including liberal far left democrat senators tammy duckworth, gary peters, john ossof, and they now support trump on this. and even more senate democrats are expected to back that bill. now, this is a major embarrassing blow to president biden, senator chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, and the far left. we've got the details. gop senator roger marshall will join us in moments. the senator is about to join in that senate meeting with president trump. also this. >> you know, [indiscernible] >> i'll lead an effective strategy to mobilize d [indiscernible] >> after i sign the act into law [indiscernible] liz: we've got a growing scandal. the white house cover-up of president biden's decline. it just hit a new level. president biden just made a huge confession that is expected to outrage democrat voters.

i want everybody about trump.ed them what would get him reelected which was stupid woke, that got him reelected. >> i think americans hate inflation. >> they hate inflation, they hate riots and they hate black women. they hated transit people. they spent hundreds of millions -- >> they don't -- >> disgusting -- >> shouldn't talk politics. >> numbers don't lie. we thought trump when the popular vote and the black vote, in 2020 he got 8%. in this election he got 16%, more than double. numbers don't lie. stuart: coming up. eric adams, mayor of new york touts a decrease in crime in new york city in the past year. watch this. >> we know we are doing a good job fighting crime as numbers show. we must deal with the perception. stuart: new yorkers do not feel safe. brian kilmeade on that story later. bret baer said the trump team told him to expect shock and are on day one of the new administration. brett gives us the full story next. plus we are waiting for trump's press conference. maybe 25 minutes from now. it will be

trump lies. donald trump said, quote, many hundreds of thousands of people on both sides are dead in ukraine. his exact words were, many hundreds of thousands from each side are dead. many hundreds of thousands. in ukraine, many hundreds of thousands of ukrainian soldiers are dead. in fact, in reality, in the real world, ukraine has lost 43,000. western intelligence services estimate that russia has lost 200,000. donald trump said many thousands of soldiers on both sides. a few hundred thousand soldiers would be 300,000 soldiers. many hundreds of thousands of soldiers would be what, six, seven hundred thousand soldiers? this is the kind of lie that would've destroyed any other presidential candidate in history. howard dean was soaring and the democratic presidential primary campaign in 2004, before he couldn't give a precise number to the size of the american military, and answer to one simple question in one television interview. and that moment did enormous damage in the minds of many voters, t

" just to be clear, this is what tarrio said on tape just days before january 6 th. >> there's ways that you can enact change. get armed and go to the capitol. as crazy as that sounds, like yeah, i think that's the way you make the biggest noise. >> getting armed, going to the capitol. true conservative values. ub trump's push to pardon january 6th convicted rioters is now meeting resistance in his own party. trump's close ally senator lindsey graham raising a red flag about a blanket pardon. >> the power to exercise. the people who beat up police officers. >> one of them in this video using a police officer's shield to bust out a window in the capitol, allowing rioters to flood in. and now today four years after those moments trump today was certified as

i think that has been made clear by trump's aids and by trump himself. 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

trump is taking credit for it, it wasn't trump. the case that trump threatening these tariffs bolstered trudeau in a bid because it created a solidarity sense that people didn't want to rattle the cage too much. you know, overall, though, this is a huge story in canada. the question of will these tariffs go in or not. and of course they're threatening retaliation. so will tariffs come in on american goods being shipped -- be bought by americans. so right now this is sort of an up in the air thing. but, you know, trump loves needling trudeau, but also seems to get along with him. it's a weirdly unusual relationship that i've never really been able to make head or tails of. >> his relationship with all the g7 leaders seems to be at odds right now. except with meloni of course was there. he was hosting her on saturday night. but i want you to listen -- given what you just said about how big of a story this is in canada to what trump said today about the relationship to hue hewitt. >> we're the united states. we're not canada. we have

and his agenda and trump unifying the gop and congress and axios and politico reporting that trump may be bringing back bipartisanship and has common sense finally broken through to the far left? is the resist trump movement now officially dead before it even began? tonight, even more democrats are moving to trump. we vascularized the details plus throughs this story. >> we have a judge in new jersey that's a crooked judge and sick group of people and all to influence the election. we have very dishonest judges and new york judges are very bad ones. liz: that was president trump calling out new york judge juan merchan for pushing democrat lawfare against president trump and fight over sentencing in the new york case and down to the wire coming in tomorrow. will the supreme court intervene? former u.s. deputy attorney john yoo will break did down in just moments. we have that story first. >> i've never seen fire hydrants this desperate and at hydrants and pressure so low and the number one tool they use to fight the fire fires and hydrans aren't working. how are we addressing this? your

if you really step back and think about it, he knows trump is drill baby drill, he's not hurting trump as he is hurting you. and the poor, in the middle class, and the cost of everything that is delivered it to every story you go to. the cost of energy hurts the american people, it also prevents america and our ability to become what donald trump is certainly set out to do, make as an energy dominant rich country. last week he reposed another band, limiting energy development in nevada, for the next 20 years, before getting blocked by a texas court, biden, petty, angry, bidder, he attempted to auction off border wall materials for next to nothing again, that would only force you to pay for new board walls, he vindictively wants to sell off her on the dollar, knowing that donald trump will need to spend more of your money because he's going to build a wall. he also streamlines illegal immigration, with the release of a brand-new app designed for those looking to abuse our immigration and border laws, and meanwhile today the president released 11 detainees captured in the aftermath of 9/

trump promises to appeal. now back out here live, he spent the rest of his afternoon at his west palm beach golf course. he will meet with members of the house freedom caucus at mar-a-lago tonight, after meeting with a group of republican governors at mar-a-lago yesterday. larry? larry: great. nate foy, appreciate it very very much. all right folks. donald trump's red hot honeymoon continues on a roll and that's the subject of the rif. that's right. trump's honeymoon continues on a roll. his post-election honeymoon, well, it's hot, red hot, actually. he persuaded senate republicans to go along with his one big beautiful bill strategy to get tax cuts, border closing, energy, production, and doge brothers downsizing of government. so, the blue collar boom can surely begin this year in order to make good on mr. trump's promises to his working class coalition. he's got his eye on universal tariffs by the way, that could raise as much as $500 billion a year. republican house speaker mike johnson pulling together on

what is your take on how trump will handle the conflict in ukraine? guest: i can't of course speak you president-elect trump's relationship with lender the i do think what he's offering is an ejection of honesty which is long overdue. we've been making frankly hollow promises to ukrainians for at least the 2008 bucharest summit when we provided a sort of gauzy pathway to membership for them, which frankly achieved the worst of all worlds, provoking russia to the response of putin and offering nothing the ukrainians by way of actual or material security commitment. so we keep talking about our ironclad assurances to ukraine, and we offer our material support in this conflict, but the understanding has long been that the alliance would not accept ukraine. and if president trump is going to be honest with the ukrainians, i think that does less morals and the fury of injury to the ukrainians than promising something that we don't intend to deliver. host: what does an end to this conflict actually look like under a trump administration? guest: i don't know

and trump ivy. and you know, he did get a mandate to end these wars. he was an anti intervention is, this is why the established one hates donald trump in the 1st place. the reason why we had the russia gate, as we called in the united states way they choose to non stop being compromised as a trainer to our own country. and working with president, what put and, and russia was because that was the only card they had to play because he got elected on uh, ending our ford mores. our intervention is towards our region change wars, which is the same reason why the admin uh, the establishment freaks out. over tulsa galbraith right chelsea. galbraith made her name, telling the truth about the syrian war and the gas attacks. right. so they wanted brock obama to bomb syria and to do another decapitation like they did in libya like they did in the rec, out those turn out. and so they did the same thing in the brock obama said you had a red line and syria of gas attacks. and so of course, that's the 1st thing t

we are the majority, and trump won. >> trump won. >> trump won. the night before january 6th, rally goers had started assembling. and i can tell you to this day, donald trump won the election. they were so loud that trump could hear them in the oval office that evening. trump opened the doors on this chilly january evening and started calling aides into his office. can you hear them outside, he'd ask. can you hear how excited they are i woke up that morning and, you know, there was a sense of real menace in washington, and there had been for a couple of days. >> there is a new republican party on the rise. >> we're coming for you, and we're going to have a good time doing it. >> this is the greatest group of patriots ever put together. >> what does giuliani do on january 6th? >> please welcome america's mayor, rudy giuliani, who takes the stage at the stop the steal rally on the ellipse just south of the white house. >> you can see the white house in the distance, and he fires up this crowd. >> this has been a year in which they have invaded our f

, the trump is terrible.rump is going to be isolationist, and ben, i mean, chris, excuse me, he is now saying look, america can actually grow in strategic superiority. by, perhaps, cutting a deal here. and instead they laugh at it. but not everybody, chris, john fetterman made a very interesting comment on with bret baier just a short while ago. watch. >> there's a lot of talk about greenland, for example. now, and i know a lot -- there is a lot of freakouts and, of course, i would never support taking it by force, but i do think it's -- i do think it's a responsible conversation if they were open to acquiring it. you know, whether just buying it outright. >> laura: chris, what is the beef with this from the left and also from the old, you know, republican guard? >> you know, you heard a lot during trump's last administration that this is not normal howls and she cans from f anybody that didn't have history soundbites paying attention. if was shocking to see reporters ohio personally knew did not know what na

you've been you've been you've been covering trump. you know trump. you wrote the book on trump. will he be able to set aside this personal feud and give california give los angeles everything it needs to rebuild? well, you know, the interesting thing is his relationship with gavin newsom compared to a lot of other democrats for a long time, wasn't actually all that bad. >> if you go back to the pandemic, if you go back two years before that, he actually attacked newsom a lot less than he did relative to other democratic governors. part of the reason was, was because, uh, kimberly guilfoyle was engaged to donald trump's son, don jr.. and kimberly guilfoyle used to be married to gavin newsom. and so she helped to sort of officiate or manage that relationship a little bit. but kimberly guilfoyle is now out of the picture, no longer with don jr.. and so there is been a real breakdown in terms of the relationship. and trump is going into office finding someone to blame for these fires. and that's what he does. he finds someone to blame. so the problem isn't his. the problem is someon

donald trump appearing virtually there but the judge has just sentenced donald trump.er the conviction in the hush money case and he said he is imposing no jail orfinery but imposing no jail or finery but the imposing no jail orfinery but the sentence places judgment of guilt on the president elect�*s record. —— fine. thejudge guilt on the president elect�*s record. —— fine. the judge was keen to pursue this despite the last—minute efforts of donald trump to block the sentencing, and that did not work, and the supreme courtjudges decided supreme court judges decided against supreme courtjudges decided against throwing out the last—minute bid from donald trump so today the sentencing went ahead and the breaking development, i will repeat it, thejudge decided to development, i will repeat it, the judge decided to sentence donald trump to an unconditional discharge over the conviction in the hush money case and he has imposed no jail time money case and he has imposed no jailtime and no money case and he has imposed no jail time and no fine but the sentence means it is a

trump. any defendant has a right to speak at his own sentencing. so if trump wants he can speak. he can say whatever he wants. the final word will be judge marchand's. laura, as you noted, an important thing will happen at the end of this sentencing. it will become official. we will have what we know as a judgment of conviction. at that point, his conviction will be official, but not quite necessarily final. as you said, donald trump still has his appeal rights. now we are in the trial court in new york. they call it the new york supreme court. very confusingly, i didn't make the names. but donald trump then has the ability. he has the automatic right to appeal up to the appellate division, maybe to the highest court of new york, the court of appeals, and ultimately, laura, we could end up right back where we were last night with the u.s. supreme court. we'll see if they take it. that's a long way down the road. so today we're focusing back on the trial court, where you're sitting outside of

he is the biggest asset trump has.ing we shouldn't underrate. this is potentially useful for trump. having musk out there saying these extreme things, we saw him make a comment about greenland earlier today as well, just sort of being the bulldog, helping trump play the reasonable guy which when you're donald trump is maybe not as clear. i think this is going to continue despite the obvious discomfort that i think both men probably feel in each other's presence. >> i do not think they are breaking up anytime soon, but that's just me. thank you both for being here. >>> when we return, president jimmy carter arrives at the u.s. capitol to lie in state. how lawmakers are remembering the late president. allison.

trump. mr. trump, you appear before this court today to conclude this criminal proceeding by the imposition of sentence. although i have taken the unusual step of informing you in advance of my inclinations before imposing sentence, i believe it is important for you, as well as those observing these proceedings, to understand my reasoning for the sentence i am about to impose. the imposition of sentence is one of the most difficult and significant decisions that any criminal court judge is called upon to make. our legislature sets the parameters for an authorized sentence, but it is a judge that must decide what constitutes a just conclusion to a verdict of guilty. the court is vested with broad discretion in determining what sources or evidence you may consider to arrive at an appropriate sentence. in doing so, the court must consider the facts of the case, along with any aggravating or mitigating circumstances. in my time on the bench, i've been called upon to grapple with this weighty respons

it allows donald trump to appeal.t you appeal after you are sentenced. so judge merchan pointed out at sentencing on friday, he will have all of his appellate rights to challenge everything and anything with respect to the underlying trial, and so he can try and vindicate himself. instead what he wants is to never have that sentencing go forward. >> we are going to be watching both of these every day this week. andrew weissman, thank you very much. great news tonight. >>> coming up, they were there. and they're lucky to be alive .2 former capitol police officers who survived the attack on the capitol on january sixth, four years ago today. they will join us next. us nex issues that can bring. sometimes it's the smell of mildew when water has seeped into the interior walls. or maybe they've spotted mold in the attic. but most often it's the more obvious signs of damage like rotten soffit, fascia, or water pooling near their foundation. you can get ahead of costly damage by protecting your home's gutters today. we're in

trump. and they're coming in hot and they're coming in fast. now, new this week with the stroke of a pen. joe biden just issued a total ban on most offshore drilling and exploration. now, if you really step back and think about it, he knows trump is drill, baby drill. he's not hurting trump as much as he's hurting you and the poor and the middle class and the cost of everything that's delivered to every store you go to. the cost of energy hurts the american people. it also prevents america and our ability to become. what donald trump is, is certainly set out to do, make us an energy dominant, rich country. last week, he proposed another ban that's limiting energy development in nevada for the next 20 years before getting blocked by a texas court. biden petty. angry. bitter. well, he attempted to auction off border wall materials for next to nothing. again, that would only force you to pay for new border wall. he vindictively wants to sell off for pennies on the dollar, knowing that donald tr

succeed donald trump. they will also have that same immunity, and they're probably going to use it. if democrats ever get back in charge, we can expect that they won't use it. and that again, it becomes the asymmetric war that the democratic party is always trying to fight and always losing. right. so that's on the one hand. on the other hand, in terms of precedent, i want to be very clear here. none of this had to happen, right. and probably most of it wouldn't have happened if joe biden had picked an attorney general who was interested in prosecuting rich white people for crimes. right. and so one of the precedents i hope comes out of this is that merrick garland and people like merrick garland are no longer given power by democratic administrations. and i know that that is a pie in the sky. hope, right, that one day democrats will join the battle. but one thing i hope is that one day, democrats join the battle and stop appointing people like merrick garland who are going to look the other way and give p

president trump. he's in his 70's now, he's got a house style. he's trying to get input from a wide variety of people. people the public don't know to bounce ideas off them. he's always seeing how it plays in the room and he's very good at judging, what people are thinking and where the country is going. this is one of his super powers, and so -- and i think that susie is smart enough. she doesn't try to go john kelly on you, and she doesn't try to hermetically seal him. and even when rupert murdoch says we're going to make you a nonperson. and there's a confidence in judgment and confidence in people who will have his back. there will be total access at one level to president trump, this is his house style. i think she is going to have a little more management, and maybe not quite so chaotic at the staff level although i will say, particularly in the first year, all the benefits of the economy and foreign policy, the peace and prosperity of '19, those seeds were sown with rines pre bus and the team.

i think president trump was right if the objective of the prosecution was to prevent trump from gettingailed miserably by the standard. even if you look at the standard for normal lyrical prosecution what was a consequence of this, trump will have unless this gets overturned on appeal which it might even if it sticks trump will have a conviction on his record but there's no practical consequence from this, he's not serving a day in jail, he got paid a dollar fine. it does get to your question what was the point. >> let's talk about the appeal, the conviction is not final that the sentencing has been done although it didn't last long water trumps best arguments on appeal in your judgment? >> in my judgment the best argument is immunity you will remember the united states supreme court held the president's immune from the official asked when they were in office. although the new york prosecution was not based strictly or specifically on the official ask bragg putting evidence of things that trump did while he was president, statements he made, communication you had with his presidential a

and here donald trump did. the reason why i'm legally shocked is because he really didn't need to judge. merchan already stated that he intended to not really give him a sentence, that unconditional discharge, which means you have the conviction, but you have no jail time, you have no parole, you have no probation, you have no fine. you essentially get to walk home, unlike most other criminal defendants. >> and we're just wondering, because he mentions this at the beginning of his allocution, he says, although i have taken the unusual step in advance of telling you the sentence, i feel i need to tell you the reasoning for the sentence i am about to impose. how unusual of it of a step is it for the judge to in advance tell people about the sentence? >> not as unusual as he's making it out to be. there are many times where a judge will say, this is your promise sentence, but one of those things on a promise sentence is you have to go to the department of probation, even if you're not getting probation, to sort of

he never told trump about it, he did not believe trump had anything to do with stormy daniels.e was just protecting wallonia -- melania. bob chris taylor was called to testify under judge merchan, the prosecutors cap interrupting all his testimony saying objection, objection and the judge said sustain, sustained, and when costello looked at him out of the corner of his eye at the judge -- chris taylor was a very experienced attorney, he was a prosecutor and you what was going on was not right. the judge cleared the entire courtroom because he starts staring at the judge, looking at him, what are you doing? the judge went off and cleared the entire courtroom. reporters and everything to achieve this guy up, so this whole thing looks ridiculous. looks like to me stormy daniels is guilty of extortion, and i think cohen might be guilty of embezzlement because during that, he admitted to taking money from trump, about $20,000. host: renee, florida, democrat. caller: wow. that was a good one. michael: went to prison -- michael cohan went to prison, i believe heas defendant two, not d

trump has a strong appeal.encing, though, i don't think what the court was saying that -- was that in general in the abstract sentencing is not a big burden on a president-elect. what they were saying is that in this case where judge merchan has committed to a no prison, no probation sentence and where trump doesn't have to shut everything down and appear here in new york personally, he can come in virtually, that under those unique circumstances this was a negligible burden on the transition. >> dana: andy, could you explain what is happening this morning? walk us through what is happening. trump can appear virtually. he is with his lawyer, todd -- what happens next? >> generally speaking the court will hear from the prosecution first. it won't be much of a presentation in this case, at least it shouldn't be. we had a lengthy trial here. there is not much that's collateral to the trial that is going to factor into sentencing here. to the extent there is judge merchan has already laid out a lot of that stuff an

donald trump.s taken center from a party that moved radically lift, and told us the r ridiculously the pathetic man who shuffles off street can well enough to be a president. larry: the drilling in pacific, and final episode of weaponization and lawfare against trump. you know, even the medal of freedom recipients, i would give hillary clinton, if you give them to a democrat fine. she was secretary of state and senator and live with bill mebill clinton all these years. and he is pardons death row criminals, this is nonsense. this is just crap, not even serious, just nonsense. >> you are pissed off, that is the word you used during the break, i'm use it. dozens of inmate on death row, he didn't give a medal to barack obama. that is interesting. oobama own gave one to biden on his way out. he snubbed obama but gave one to a monster like george soros with the blood on his hands, i spoke with trump about this for the book, he is really not happy with the fact that joe biden is selling off border wall p

trump. that statue with that plaque on it went up in that philadelphia park just before the election. city workers pretty quickly took it down because it didn't have permission and it was there without a permit. around the same time, though, all the way across the country on the west coast in portland, oregon, there was another one. in this case, it was near a statue by a seattle-based sculptor, who's named norman taylor. this sculpture has been in portland, oregon, on southwest 6th avenue downtown since 1975, relatively famous local statue in portland. this is also a bronze statue. its name -- i will not try to pronounce for you. it's the norwegian word for female nude. i cannot pronounce it in norwegian, so i won't try. this is a well known thing in downtown portland. and the same time the gross trump statue went up near to the maja statue in philly, that same trump statue with the same plaque went up here in portland as well, near that other statue of a nude woman. quote, in honor of a li

trump. but it is it is not like a statue honoring trump, at least not except in a very backhanded way. there's a plaque at the base of the trump statue that has a little bas relief of trump at the top. you see there with an american flag and it says in all caps, in honor of a lifetime of sexual assault. quote, i just start kissing them. it's like a magnet. just kiss. i don't even wait. and when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. grab them by the you can do anything. president donald j. trump. that statue with that plaque on it went up in that philadelphia park just before the election. city workers pretty quickly took it down because it didn't have permission. it was there without a permit. around the same time, though, all the way across the country on the west coast in portland, oregon, there was another one. in this case, it was near a statue by a seattle based sculptor who's named norman taylor. this sculpture has been in portland, oregon on southwest sixth, southwes

trump's actions. i also have questions whether you will focus on the needs of the american people rather than the wealthy special interests. i'm concerned that you failed to identify your extensive lobbying for foreign governments and big corporations as potential conflicts of interest. there will be questions in this hearing on that issue. that's why i've asked the justice department and the national archives for information on your lobbying of the trump white house and your foreign lobbying disclosures. i'm particularly concerned about your work on behalf of the government of qatar which reportedly paid you $115,000 a month to launder their image on human trafficking and issue a bipartisan concern on this committee. we need an attorney general to prevent price fixing and monopolies that lead to higher prices for american consumers, not favorite corporate giants you've lobbied for in the past like amazon and uber and questions about some of your actions as florida attorney general. i am concerned you

to trump in that meeting he and trump had a week after the election.met in the oval office and told trump it doesn't serve your interest to go after these people you see as your enemies. he said trump didn't indicate he would take his advice but he did say he listened. >> shannon: it was a fascinating interview and thank you for sharing that with the rest of us out here. in the meantime we've got folks on capitol hill trying to figure out what the next administration will mean to them and how they will work together and there's a bit of a meltdown for some of the democrats like the riley act and coming together. rolling stone has this headline, democrats are rolling over for trump and republicans are loving it. the resistance is over as john federman, chuck schumer and many more democrat signal a new era of enhanced democratic subservience. is that overstating it? >> a little bit but elections have meaning and trump won a pretty decisive victory. you also attend democratic senators representing states that donald trump carried and a lot of them support
