booker: the documents specifically at mar-a-lago? mr. patel: when he issued that order there were documents. i don't know what was found and what was not found at mar-a-lago, i was not there. sen. booker: this is the issue. the question is, will you live for the president of united states, would you like for donald trump? mr. patel: no. sen. booker: i hear you say no but the best way to clarify that would be to testify as you are allowed by law upon what you said to the grand jury. that grand jury, you just said to my colleague, two or three days of it, was about this specific issue. as my time ins, mr. chairman, it would be utterly irresponsible for this committee to move forward with this nomination unless we know factually, which can be proven by looking at the documents he is refusing to testify toward, it would be responsible for us to move forward if we do not know the future head of the fbi would break the law and life are the president of the united states. we can find that out factually if we had access to the testimony or if yo

you know, i don't want to sound foolish. >> bret: you had him here mar-a-lago. >> i had him here mar-a-lago. i know him well. know him better than almost anybody. i know kim jong un from north korea. most people never even will ever get to talk to him. >> bret: i was on that trip. i remember it well. >> you can attest to it. i to hit on a couple other things. had you republican senators here at mar-a-lago. >> i did. >> bret: they are in kind of a back and forth with the house. about one big beautiful bills, two bills. >> not much. >> bret: has anybody figured it out? have you decided? >> the relationship is incredible. we had about 50 of them here last night for dinner at mar-a-lago. i think john thune is doing a fantastic job. and i think that the speaker, mike johnson is doing a fantastic job. i think mike has even harder job because he has got literally actually it's probably five if you think about it. right now it's about two or three. that's pretty tight. unity in both the house and there is great unity in the house and the senate. last night i made a speech actually i think on televi

if you've never been to mar-a-lago, essentially it's this giant outdoor area. the president has his own table that's roped off by this, this red velvet rope and all of his allies and friends and donors. and everyone sits out there. and that's kind of the the place to be every night for them. and he's now considering essentially recreating that. but but in the historic rose garden outside the oval office. >> yeah. and again, this is an example of donald trump. remember, over the last four years, there was a period of time when donald trump was kind of shunned by a lot of republicans after the january 6th riot. and during that time, he sort of retreated to his home in mar a lago, where he could kind of play king day in and day out. he had he had allies coming in. he had fans coming in every single day. and so he spent the last four years with that as his reality. and so now he's coming back to washington, d.c., and clearly wants to create sort of a version of that in d.c. while he's here during the week, because he's still, of course, going back to mar a lago on

about that experience for me was i feel like god facilitated that whole day, because i went to mar-a-lago, and i had to see what every other cabinet secretary had to go through to get a position. i had to see how they were interrogated, and they had to be prepared for their position that they would be taking on and everything, and then god said but i am not going to make you do that. it almost felt to me like it was god confirming to me how strong he had placed on my heart that this was a job i was supposed to have. he wanted me to know what was required to have everybody, but i will not make you do that. this is something you are going to do because i have the confidence and the president had the confidence to give it to me, so it was a very special day for me. [applause] >> amazing. i loved it. the first week after you were confirmed direct rest of so cool , criminal illegal aliens up in new york, then heading down to the border. who was that secretary? oh, alejandro mayorkas, the guy who sat behind his desk and barely visited the border? loser. you've got secretary noem, she goes out n

caitriona: president trump had been speaking from mar-a-lago earlier this afternoon, talking about howen lax over the last couple of years, have the u.s. is not sidelining the eu and ukraine in this process. how do you see it? sir bill: well, the image of the meetings as everything. who was at the table? the russians, the americans, and their saudi hosts. the other party of this war, the defending party, ukraine, was not there, nor was the european union. to put it in simple numbers, the european union has provided the same amount of military age ukraine as the united states has. so for the european union not to be at the table, one of the major parties, which has a big interest in this whole thing and a big responsibility in this whole thing means that it is hard to imagine how this war will resolve itself in any meaningful, peaceful, long-term way. caitriona: just to flesh that out, if president trump and president putin do forge a deal, and again, president trump saying today he will probably meet with the president before the end of six months, if they do a deal, then how is that i

doge service, remaking agencies on the fly x is emerging as musk's own digital mar-a-lago, and i'm wondering what that's going to look like even in, you know, weeks to come. >> yeah. you know, if you if you want to see most government officials, you you go to their office, if you want to see if you want to see musk, you want to talk to musk, you go to his office and his office is on x, and he has even joked about that. uh, democratic leaders have posted on x saying they demand to hear from musk as to what doge is up to, and he'll respond with an image of himself as the godfather, uh, on x saying, you know, here i am. uh, what can i do for you? um, he's, also made x, a place where conservatives who have a cause that they would like to get onto the trump administration's agenda can reach him. so the the followers who often amplify musk and add to his posts and support his posts, will will also post their own suggestions for what doge should take on next. we've seen musk also use x as a place to solicit public opinion on what he should do next, he said. should doge audit the irs and he ran an x

he met with president trump at mar-a-lago right before the inauguration but claims they did not talk about his case. here's laura jarrett. >> i never broke the law. >> reporter: mayor eric adams speaking out now for the first time since the justice department's decision to drop the case against him. >> i absolutely never traded my power as an elected official for any personal benefit. >> reporter: top doj official emil bove directing federal prosecutors late monday to dismiss the charges against adams immediately, but leaving the door open to a future investigation. bove saying the case indicted by a grand jury last september and set for trial this coming april has improperly interfered with mayor adams' bid for reelection. the general election still nine months away. bove also suggesting it restricted the mayor from devoting his full attention to the trump administration's priorities on immigration and crime, raising fresh questions about how the doj will treat criminal investigations going forward. >> more serious in the long run is the damage this does to the whole idea of crimina

[boos] >> desi: okay, so just so i'm clear, your idea is to take over gaza, rebuild it into mar-a-lago, and make sure that the palestinians who live there can't go back? that is the craziest thing he's said since yesterday and until tomorrow. even his chief of staff was shocked. look at her face! she looks like she just won best country album at the grammys. [cheers and applause] and of course she's shocked. he's effectively advocating for ethnic cleansing. who could possibly be okay with that? >> you see things others refuse to see. you say things others refuse to say. and after the jaws drop, people scratch their heads and th

he went to his mar-a-lago club last friday and is staying in florida at least through wednesday because the white house official confirmed to me tomorrow he is set to attend a saudi back investor conference in miami before returning to the white house. we know yesterday the presidents' day holiday president trump into his golf club, today he doesn't have any public event scheduled the white house tells us he will sign some executive orders later this afternoon and then later on we expect him to speak at the conservative conference that have happened -- will happen here in washington. the white house looks pretty quiet. >> can you elaborate on the investor conference in the purpose of that? >> some limited details but this is a huge gathering of global financiers that is essentially hosted by prominent saudi arabia and investors and we know the president will speak there. he's expressed interest in having saudi arabia invest more into projects here in the u.s.. saudi arabia is a very wealthy country per they've a giant wealth fund the president has spoken directly about. what's interesti

he went to mar-a-lago. they all abandoned him except for you.nd they had enough guts and courage taking the cpac in orlando and marched 47 days after he had gone into exile because they stole the 2020 election. >> is there any doubt in your mind that they stole the 2020 election? they stole it! and they know they still it -- they stole it. [applause] they thought you were finished. they were going to debank you. you are nothing but garbage, nothing but deplorables. you surprised them with hillary clinton in '16 and 74 million, 11 more than we had in 2016 voted when you won the 2020 election. and the reason the j6ers are here is because that was a fedsurrection set up by the justice department. we will show the receipts. they thought trump is finished and you are finished. no. i want you to look within yourself right now at that journey. go back to 2021. go back to your life. go back to the anxiety. trump won but they stole it. remember that? back on our heels? you did not quit. just like in any military contest, we had a rally point. dust oursel

maybe you could take into consideration the $250 million that trump's friend golfing at mar-a-lago and around the country. 80 you could claw back some of that money instead letting them ride around in golf carts? i know you are pretty worried about the money so maybe go after trumps money. keep the hell out the golf course. guest: it's amazing you say that, you are a typical drum hater. trump has not taken a salary. the reason he got a 77 million votes that is country went to catherine donald trump is because he delivers everything he says. he loves america unlike the other president and the doge commission, he is finding things they should have been examined a long time ago. and he had the forethought to get somebody like elon musk one might add is kinda successful in the private sector, unlike a lot of politicians. he's done a great service to this country. you and i just have a philosophical disagreement on donald trump. he could spend his money like he wants to. he likes golf. what about joe biden, he couldn't even do a press conference. he took more days off sleeping and away from

abbe and came and visited at mar-a-lago, she was impressed by the job you are doing and i thought it was very nice but he had very respect for you and it's an honor on his behalf to say it is an honor to be with you. he was a good friend of mine. he was a wonderful man.

yeah. >> if i go far enough, i'll hit mar-a-lago. >> yeah you will. >> you need only travel about 40 miles from here, as roth farms sits just on the western edge of palm beach county, florida. it certainly doesn't feel like the beaches of palm beach. >> but it. >> has the weather. >> which can be brutally hot and humid for those working these fields. yet, despite his need for a reliable and cost efficient workforce, roth says he supports president trump's stance on immigration. is it going to get more difficult to get workers, do you think, under president trump and the crackdown on immigration? >> no, i think it actually. >> will get easier. we just want people to be vetted and. >> we want. >> good workers. >> that have come out, come out here. >> so the h-2a visa program may seem like a perfect solution to keep predominantly migrant workers employed on farms like this one here in florida. but critics point out that it doesn't cover every person or every situation. say, for example, those migrants who are fleeing violent and dangerous situations and don't have a home to go back to o

i was there for five days down in florida, mostly in mar—a—lago, as he golfed — he spent quite a bit golfing. and we did a flyby in air force one — and all the tvs in air force one are set to fox, perhaps unsurprisingly — and we were there watching fox covering air force one, flying by the nascar race. we were flying really low — it was quite a surreal experience. moments injournalism. a really big entrance, and it was kind of interesting but can't you get them to turn one of those tvs to bbc? they put on a basketball game. or non—american audience — that nascar, that daytona oh, it's huge. there's 110,000 seats at that race. and so, when we get in and, you know, you hear the roar of a crowd, i mean, it was a bigger crowd than i'd ever seen at a european football game, for example. and trump comes out and he does a little wave. supportive crowd for him. i mean, he knew his audience. into the more serious policy stuff in a moment — i mean, you know, way before he was a president, how to work a crowd — especially at a crowd, supportive, you know, of him. it was, you know, a home game f

last thursday i had the great honor of having dinner with trump at mar-a-lago. can tell you that he is ready to get to work and i am eager to work with trump and members of his cabinet, many of whom i have worked alongside in congress and as your governor to make america affordable, safe, prosperous, and great again. our vision of montana remains simple and steadfast. create more good paying jobs. open the doors of greater opportunity for all montanans to achieve the american dream. to protect our montana way of life. it is a conservative vision centered on family and community. we stand at a pivotal moment in state history. the choices that we make today will shape montana for our children and our grandchildren. for the first two decades of this century, state government hasn't done well by them. as i said before, and i will say again, montana's biggest exports were beef, grain, kids, and grandkids. they left montana for greater opportunities elsewhere. for better jobs with higher pay. we are reversing that trend. improving educational opportunities. creating a

moving to fall, post november 5, you had well-known think tanks and other people, and a lot of mar-a-lagoent trump knew what he was doing here. >> it is brilliantly planned, he has chosen what you call 80-20 issues, this is suicidal to oppose it, democrats do can the dumbest thing, swing at every pitch, they are doing that. >> a great point. larry: are tariffs an 80-20 issue, i continental , concerned about, that i support the reciprocity trade, but it gets such bad press. you see inflationary tariffs, i'm not sure that the administration or president has given enough rebuttal to that, i think tax cuts are more popular than tariffs, but i think that. that is my problem. what do you think? as media guy. >> i think that cable news does not allow for a lot of nuance. >> tariffs, if used as a negotiating tool and successfully, mexico for example and if he uses it in a way it gets results. there are tariffs on steel for example, japan is asking for an an exception, with trump is a negotiation, clear as mud. larry: i rather see him in oval office with elon musk talking about cutting federal spe

now, the fbi searched his mar-a-lago property back in august 2022. and at that time, the fbi found approximately 100 classified documents mixed in with other stuff like birthday cards, golf shirts, and even a photo of celine dion. and now the case is closed. there is a process for him to get much of this back, but i think some people obviously have some questions about the classified materials. but now that he is president again, he has broad discretion over classified materials, which is why he is expected to have those returned when anyone else would not. >> paula, you also have some new reporting on attorney general pam bondi, his priorities as she takes over the justice department. >> that's right. today was her first day on the job, and she signed over a dozen memos laying out how the justice department will pursue the priorities of the trump administration. so she laid out several different objectives. the first one, the most notable one, is that she is going to review cases that have been brought against president trump. not only the two feder

and then the other issue that you, you, you addressed with the mar a lago cortes, right. demand for longer dated u.s. treasuries that you see from foreign central banks. so those are two sides of the same coin, and i don't see that dynamic changing anytime soon. >> and just, you know, there are some viewers who know what you're talking about, and others go, wait a minute, what are the mar-a-lago accords? i think we're going to hear more about this idea. we'll see what happens with the ten year lately if there are macro concerns. but you talked about this. what last year? what this idea that we would potentially almost kind of require our partners to buy long term u.s. debt to try to bring yields down. do you think that ever be a reality? >> it's tempting. >> right. so there's a lack of demand for longer dated treasuries. you see that in scott bissonnette's comments just yesterday that he's not going to be in the near term, making any effort to term out u.s. debt, which is something he had talked about prior to the inauguration. and it's just not possible because there's n

and as the president remains here in florida at his mar-a-lago resort, i'm told he was getting updates on these meetings throughout the day. but you heard his secretary of state talk about the economic opportunities. it's almost as though marco rubio and the other advisers were looking ahead beyond resolving the the russia and ukraine war. looking beyond those negotiations to resolving a very different row. that, of course, has been a deeply underway for three years. that's the u.s. and russia relations. of course, there are major imperatives in terms of doing business. the sanctions that have been imposed. but this is what the trump administration is looking for long term. this is something that this president is looking forward to open up oil business again, start, um, sort of a free flow of commerce. it is an extraordinary change. the sanctions that have been underway are still in place, of course, but the thaw has certainly been felt. but but secretary of state marco rubio also said this very important. he said the key that unlocks the door to all these opportunities is the end to
