carolina projected for donald trump. pennsylvania for donald trump.. i feel very worried. i'm not super surprised but, for me, it's disappointing. i'm only hoping that this goes better than last time and that there are the checks and balances system that we have in place works this time around. time now to 10s of your reaction to the us election. it's not great for women's rights. trump is clearly the dominant politician. we obviously don't see what the majority of i the americans feel like. let's see what will happen over the next four years. bye for now. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm will perry. coming up on the programme... a defeat for arsenal in the champions league as inter milan edge past them at san siro. aston villa lose in belgium after a bizarre penalty incident. and imane khelif, the olympic boxing champion at the centre of a gender scandal, takes legal action. good to have you with us. thanks forjoining us. there were nine games in the champions league on wednesday and defeats for the two british sides in action, aston villa and ars

donald trump won the blue wall. donald trump won georgia , arizona. the only difference would be hillary clinton in 2016 didn't carry nevada. donald trump leads there right now when we come back to 2024. sorry. 2024. let me come appear and do this and hit this and you go there. 2024. that is the one. it is just a dramatic change when you come here. donald trump is remaking the map again at the moment. the question is, is there any way for harris to come back? we have given donald trump north carolina. let's see where we are in georgia. donald trump also carries georgia, the vice president cannot afford to lose pennsylvania. yes, nevada is out there. arizona is out there. 19. i will show you what i mean in a minute. can she come back in georgia to stop that from happening? if he wins in georgia, her past is so limited. it is 118,000 votes are now in a state the size of four years ago by 11,000 votes. donald trump , 93%. that is an important number. ahead by nearly 120,000 votes. you are looking, this is where they would have to be. you can put your vot

that was broken by donald trump and melania trump during the 2020 election, when he was claiming it was falsely stolen. there was no extension to president biden . they are seeking to reverse that and make clear and emphasize they are committed to a peaceful transition of power. i should note, one source did say, it was a dazzling conflict for donald trump. it also could be insight into how melania trump will take on the first lady rolled the second time around, maybe less involved than the first time around. >> we will find out. katelyn collins, west palm beach, florida, not far from mar-a-lago. katelyn will be back tonight at 9:00 p.m. and eastern to anchor her program, "the source." we will be watching. >>> let's break all of this down with our experts here in "the situation room." given the list of appointees so far, what do you see going on? statement of the old adage, once burned, twice shy. he does not want to repeat what happened in 2016, when he appointed people he really did not know well, whom some of them turned out to not be loyal to him, he felt. now, he is taking people h

position, and i don't think trump wants to show weakness. so this is a dilemma trump has. he has the campaign rhetoric on one side, but on the other side the possibility of flagging weakness to the russians and others around the world. >> yeah, it's going to be a fascinating situation to see how he handles it once he does have the oval office back in his hands. colonel, thank you as always for your expertise. >> you bet. >>> and as tonight we are awaiting more hiring picks from the president-elect for his new white house team, we'll talk to one of the ones from the former time that survived only 11 days about potential chaos and what it's like to work inside donald trump's west wing. your business needs a network it can count on... even during the unexpected. power's out! power's out! -power's out! power's out! -power's out comcast business has you covered, with wifi backup to help keep you up and running. wifi's up. let's power on! let's power on! let's power on! -let's power on! it's from the company with 99.9% network reliability. plus advanced security. let's power on!

they did not vote _ voters for trump. they did not vote in— voters for trump., i'm their class, and many... denise, i'm really sorry to, i'm —— we are having some difficulties with the line there, it is freezing on us and we are struggling to make out what you're saying, but i think we got the gist of that, the points we were making there, i'm sorry were not able to continue that interview. but let's look at howard in —— howard university, close by to our studios in washington, dc, this is where kamala harris will take the stage in about one hour and 50 minutes or so to meet what is ultimately her concession speech, we know she has called donald trump to congratulate him on his victory and pledge a piece transition of power and to work with him on unifying america. howard university, a historically black college, famous university here in united states where kamala harris went to college yourself, a period in her life which she described as formative. in the run—up to poland a, all the focus was on those several key swing states where the election will be decid

trump flipped it this year.to find democrats need to fin a better way to address voters' concerns when it comes to issues like the economy, immigration. they say harris didn't spend enough time talking about those critical issues. and there is concern, lester, that this is not just about the presidential race. there are some critical gubernatorial and down ballot races in the next cycle, and these lawmakers say if the party doesn't fix this, it could hurt them with those races that are coming up in the future, lester. >> k headquarters in new york, here is lester holt. as we go deeper tonight on how

under trump.se and the massive spike up of credit card debt over $1 trillion now. one of the things i have noticed, have been traveling around the country over the last month, mostly trying to help donald trump get elected and evernote is this, i don't know if you have a, if you go to the really rich areas of the suburbs , kamala harris is all you see, kamala harris signs and the rich suburbs. working class, middle class neighborhoods, it's exactly the opposite. it is trump, trump which i find is very interesting because kamala harris keeps saying, he cares only about the rich! while the rich are for joe biden, they are the ones financing, running for kamala harris, financing her campaign. every time you go to the middle class areas, one other quick thing, i know you followed what happened in madison square garden. the most amazing thing that i saw was not even what happened into the garden, watching the motorcade to go down fifth avenue, it was like america won world war ii. of never seen so many

donald trump felt their pain. tonight is simple. - we do not have| to live this way. we don't, we don't. and we won't, we won't. we do not have to settle - for weakness, incompetence, decline, and decay. i'm sad. we are all sad, but at the end of the day, we don't have time for solace. you have to get up and go work. 0ne democratic strategist admits republicans asked the questions kamala harris didn't. we asked people three things. how do you feel about immigration? how do you feel about crime? and are you better off, is the economy better? people said "no" to those things. i don't think that's true. but elections are about instincts and feelings as well. i know, clive. i agree, but look, at the end of the day, at some point, we have to look at some realities. the first decision i made as nominee in 2020 was selecting her as my vice president. 0ne reality is that kamala harris was fatally tied to an unpopular president, and during the campaign, she failed to make a decisive break from her boss. would you have done

the trump strategist credited with this idea, 18-year-old baron trump. two sources familiar with the strategy told nbc news that trump's youngest son was behind the campaign pivot towards influential male podcasters. a senior trump adviser told politico's deep dive podcast, every single recommendation he has had has turned out to be absolute ratings gold that has broken the internet. joining me now to weigh on all of this, paola ramos, nbc contributor and author of defectors, the rise of the latino far right and what it means for america. hayes brown, writer and director at msnbc daily and host of serious xm's show. i will start with you, paola, because there is this myth that the vice president did not do enough podcasts, and that is not true. i mean, she did several podcasts. she did her own alternative media outlets. she was on call her daddy, shannon sharpe's podcast. there are things out there she did. she may not have done the borough vote, but she definitely went out with the shows ended her own. do you think there is merit to the idea that trump

has been influential in trump's orbit especially on immigration throughout trump's campaign. a contributor to product 2025, that controversial plan for trump's administration and has been one of the people who has been influenced trump's policies that he has been rolling out. not only as a campaign candidate but also in his early days of his administration and now he will be a border czar, as you said. now, that role does thought have a cabinet title to it obviously. in fact, it would need senate confirmation and it's not exactly clear what that would entear. however, trump on the campaign trail talked about mobilizing all branches of government as well as the military and state and local law enforcement to carry out his mass deportation plan. you can certainly see where someone like homan would be in, cha of overseeing the various stakeholders under that plan. >> and, steve, trump is nominating apparently congresswoman elise stefanik, united nations ambassador. what do you know about that? >> reporter: right. his plan. some that kaitlan collins first reported potentially in

so trump signed it.artisan reform of the presidential transition act inspired in part by the concerns of the trump team, crafted in part by pro-trump far-right member of congress, signed by trump in 2020. well, now it's transition time again. it's time to put it all in place. and so now, naturally, here's it lead from "the new york times." quote, president-elect donald j. trump has not yet submitted a legally required ethics pledge stating he will avoid conflicts of interests and other ethical concerns while in office, raising concerns that his refusal to do so will hamper the smooth transition to power. and yes, this is the very same ethics pledge from the bipartisan bill that trump himself signed into law. he's not signing it. he's apparently ignoring all the requirements of that law including, according to "the new york times," blowing through the september 1st deadline to sign the transition agreement with the general services administration. why is that important? well, that provides for a variety o

trump do?cause his legal adviser mike davis posted a warning to jack smith on social media after the election saying, quote, lawyer up. can the doj do anything now to protect those prosecutors on jack smith's team or jack smith himself from retribution? >> short answer is no. at least the way trump is planning to completely overhaul the doj. hollow out all of the career staff and just institute a reign of terror, what would stop him? nothing as far as we can tell based on the supreme court's view about the -- his executive powers and when he said he would fire jack smith, he cited the immunity opinion. in other words, he's thinking i can violate the law in doing this and it doesn't matter, no one can come after me. now, mike davis has become almost cartoonishly savage here, he's talked about really a total blood in the streets kind of war of retribution. i think that the important point to notice for starters, when the federal government trains its resources on you, it is ruinous, even if there

a meeting with trump.are seeing is a bit of a crossover between the biden administration, who is currently in office, and donald trump, as it relates to this conflict in the middle east to try and find some types of resolutions. >> it is hard to see any big resolutions before the new president is put in place to a lot of observers. >>> coming up for us, the jury is still out on who will be the next attorney general. but justice department employees who worked on investigating donald trump are already preparing for potential retaliation. >>> one thing that has been clear since the election, the markets thing to be happy donald trump is heading back to the white house. how long can this momentum last? new numbers coming in this morning. >>> and picasso, warhol, works by betsy, italian police busting a large scale forgery network me seizing thousands of fake pieces. your business needs a network it can count on... even during the unexpected. power's out! power's out! -power's out! power's out! -power's out co

donald trump and kamala harris. donald trump will _ trump and kamala harris._ trump and kamala harris. donald trump will be underlining - trump and kamala harris. donald trump will be underlining as - trump and kamala harris. donald trump will be underlining as he i trump will be underlining as he has been all the way through the reasons he believes he will be the best next president which is specifically on the economy, on questions of inflation. also on the question of undocumented immigration where he thinks the kamala harris and joe biden administration has been two—week. in terms of including mass deportations for some 10 million people. throughout it all we have seen kamala harris make her pitch very hard that she thinks he is unstable and unfit for government and that she would make a difference to people's lives and that she would be betterfor american would be better for american democracy. would be betterfor american democracy. it finally comes down to the sharp end in this state, donald trump performs very well. previously this would have been a swi

elon thinks he is inan idiot and trump is fine if you pay trump. there's a reason elon has this position and he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to help trump get elected but trump is not fine when you are taking a slice of the cash. and that's why, and this what what was reported and that's why trump is upset right now. boris is trying to get his. and trump thinks that it's totally irresponsible and outside the lines if you profit off his own name. that's where boris stepped out of line. is that he tried to take a cut. it's brazen and ridiculous. >> if you accept him which i don't wanty of us to accept, but if we did, some of this is status quo for the folks and you talk about a cabinet that's largely filled out at this point, is it your sense during the confirmation hearings you have members of the republicans in the senate willing to go out there and ask the hard questions about access and influence peddling. >> yeah, i will get to the republican senators but i want to say, 30,000 might feel brazen but i think it's small potatoes to the mon

trump is no fluke. trump-ism is no fat. after all, what is more normal than a thing that keeps repeating? carlos lozada writes , in recent years i often wonder if trump has changed america , or revealed it . that will be the pope question. i decided he change the country by revealing it. after election day 2024 i'm considering an addendum, trump has changed us by revealing how normal and truly american he is. this is my favorite graph , it sums it all. throughout trump's life he has embodied every national fascination money and greed in the 80s, sex scandals in the 90s, reality television in the 2000's, social media and the 20 10th, why would we not deserve him now? today's poll question asked that, has donald trump changed america? or has he revealed it? that essay reminded me of something that michael wolfe recorded about donald trump in his book fire and fury. wolf tells the story about trump when he was riding high in atlantic city. he was aboard a private flight with friends and he proposes a detour to atlantic city ca

trump's transition team is considering a executive order that will give trump the power to oust three and four star journals. according to a draft of the order which was reviewed by the wsj, trump would appoint a so called warrior board and that board will have the power to fast track the removal of generals and admirals that are found to be lacking in requisite leadership qualities. decisions about generals are made by a military structure. as the commander in chief the president has the authority to fire any officer at well but the warrior board circumvents the pentagon system in place and this trump ousting at will three and four star generals is consistent with what trump has said. >> are you going to fire those generals ? >> yes i would get rid of them. now i know them. i would fire them. you cannot have woke military. >> thank you for saying you would fire those few woke generals that are a big problem. >> this news coming as one person in trump's orbit is a crucial force in making decisions about hiring and firing and that person is elon musk. for the past week he has set up sh

so it will be shaped as trumps the legacy because that's what works with trump. and don't forget trump's. in his 1st term he brought more tanks and troops to europe. uh, obama had taken them out after 2014 trump put them back in. trump was the one who agreed to to sell your train offensive and to tank weapons, which obama had been reluctant to do. so trump is a little hard part to gauge here. i think i can imagine him saying to prove to look, you've got 80 percent of your train is not occupied just what stop where we are. and if you don't, i'm going to let your trainings shoot whatever they want, and i'm going to help them do it and say to the lensky lot, you know, the killing has to stop. you need serious talks with put and we can talk about what happens to the rest of your country down the road. but now it's time for a serious talk. no one's ever tried that. i don't know what makes fruit and talk seriously, but trump might be able to do it if he's willing, as he has been often in the past to go along with the narrative on the train that it's def golf country. i

waiting until there was a trump presidency because israelis who in the majority were hoping for a trumptions, they saw in the first term donald trump really carried out some of the long—standing israeli demands, to move the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem, to recognise the annexation of the golan heights, to pull out of the landmark iran nuclear deal, and very much expecting more of that now. he was one of the first foreign leader if not the foreign leader to speak to trump last night, and there is a sense not only does he be excited by the prospect of working with donald trump, he also knows he is very unpredictable and can be quick to anger. netanyahu hasn't forgotten that when he quickly congratulated joe biden on his election victory in 2020, donald trump was infuriated, he likes loyalty. let's turn to politics in germany and the country's main opposition party is calling for a vote of confidence, the christian democrats say snap elections should be held as early as december, following the collapse of chancellor 0laf scholz�*s coalition government. the chancellor is from

he had already done the interview with trump on some of trumps terms and had done it earlier.s was last-minute. but also, he could have made that work, he chose not to. i think partly because he knows that his corot audience is heavily composed of people who like donald trump because he embodies these ideals of masculinity, and i doubt that he wanted to alienate them. you know ? joe rogan is still a businessman. it is not just a matter of him, he is not a journalist, he is not trying to get to the truth, he is running his own show in a way that he would run it personally. >> all right, elizabeth speier, thank you for coming on to share your opinion on this. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >>> coming up, president-elect donald trump is a to visit the white house next week. what we know about the meeting with president biden in the oval office. you are in the cnn newsroom. your business needs a network it can count on... even during the unexpected. power's out! power's out! -power's out! power's out! -power's out comcast business has you covered, with wifi backup t

i've a trump. what could the lack of unity mean for a european response to a trump presidency for the ability to respond? well, 1st of all, they've all responded individually, which they have to do with that's natural. the europe in summit coming up, and that will be the interesting moment to see where the contentious issues are. and one of them will very likely be the potential outreach that donald trump may do to negotiate with vladimir, put in, and possibly with the se lensky that you created in president about making peace in ukraine. there are a number of europeans who will firmly insist that ukraine is a full part of those negotiations and that there is no deal to be struck between donald trump and tried him and putting over the heads of your opinions including ukrainians. that's one contentious issue and there's another more fundamental ideological one. donald trump is a, a politician who has created a climate, a political culture where there is a lot of discrimination. a lot of rhetoric ver

nobody profits off of trump but trump.ht get you an endorsement or a presidential pardon or a place in his cabinet but money flows in only one direction. toward trump. and now there is another trump world figure learning that same lesson. yesterday, multiple news outlets reported the trump transition is investigating long time trump aide boris epstein for trying to personally profit off of trump's presidency. according to the times, several people who mr. trump trusts had alerted him that he was seeking money from people looking for cabinet appointments. the trump transition team said epshteyn had sought money from people including bessent. in a call set up between the two men, epshteyn said he was boris f-ing epshteyn. the trump team has not actually taken any action against him. investigation, and apparently, leaking it to multiple news outlets. as for donald trump himself, his goal is not to distance himself from boris but to rehind him who is in charge. as trump told john solomon, it's a shame but it happens but nobody

trump.> yeah. some key demographics where we see a real shift towards trump. latino voters jumps off the page of the exit polls, jake. here you see harris won latino voters 52% to 46%. that's a six percentage point advantage. they make up about 12% of the electorate. joe biden four years ago had a 33 point advantage over trump with latino voters. trump increased his support by 14 points. look among young voters. harris wins them 54% to 43%. they are 14% of the electorate. she has an 11-point advantage. this was a much bigger advantage for joe biden four years ago. looking at those who earn less than $100,000 a year, trump wins these voters 50% to 46%. they are 60% of the electorate. six out of ten voters earn less than $100,000 a year. biden won these by 13 points four years ago. trump flipped it. he wins them by four. independent voters, 34% of the electorate, a big increase in the share of the electorate that says they're independent. it was only a quarter four years ago. harris wins them

donald trump ahead.ons since the year 2000. that vote lead seems very large, although we're still waiting for a few more votes to be counted there before we have an official call. let's take a look at what that means as far as the electoral map. donald trump has 266 electoral votes at this point. he only needs 270 to win. he is a state or two away at this point from the official call that he will be the 47th president of the united states. vice president kamala harris currently at 205 electoral votes. again, no official call just yet but it does seem very close perhaps even inevitable. let's go to phil mattingly at the magic wall. some of these states we're talking about right now. michigan, wisconsin, let's start there. >> we'll start there. two blue wall states that have not been called yet. donald trump's lead substantial in the state of michigan. 86% reporting. you go into the state of michigan, particularly after the last two cycles and you know where the democratic strongholds are, you know where d

when trump was in office. you had your own clashes with him. what you make of his selection? >> i think he is purely a loyalty pick and i do not expect him to have much of a impact other than carrying out trump's orders. i am worried that trump does not understand the intelligence community even after four years as president and i am worried that his picks and the intelligence community can do a lot of damage inducing other countries not to share information. it is a serious problem. >> i keep hearing from you. loyalty or feel a t. as somebody that served in a trump administration, what does it mean -- trumps world would see it as people that do not circumvent him or block him from doing what he wants to but from your perspective, what does it mean if it is a bunch of loyalists that are heading these agencies and running them? >> it is not a question of blocking him, i think there were people in his first year in office that made a point of saying they were stealing documents off his desk, i do not know if the

devotion to trump, though, ever since has been extremely loud and very clear. >> president trump is theost gifted politician of our time. segment the president is a political genius. >> they say that the eyes are the window into the human soul, that blazing set of eyes that we saw in that photograph revealed a soul that is literally burning with a righteous flame on the half of 300 million americans. >> i mean, trump's blazing eyes, his burning soul , it does not get better than that. that is a small tidbit that miller has said about trump's . what is most important is that he has stayed close, without wavering, since trump got in office, and throughout the entire campaign, front and center. here he is at the madison square garden rally. >> america is for americans and americans only. >> in fact, miller was a key architect behind the separation policy at the border come and shaped the administration's muslim met. he is credited with placing some of trump's most incendiary speeches here do you remember this one? >> this american carnage stops right here and stop right now. >> american ca

now the president-elect, trump. were you surprised by how direct he wasn't talking about that and how do you think the politics of this effect the economic decision-making process? >> i wasn't particularly surprised, because i think this is a thing the fed has obviously been giving a lot of thought to. i would imagine. given that trump made clear that he was thinking about first firing and then demoting chair powell during his first administration. i imagine the fed has spent a lot of time on the legal possibilities around this command i think that chair powell was trying to be as emphatic as possible in communicating that he doesn't think he can be fired. while also leaving absolutely no room for misinterpretation. i think that is what that was yesterday. and so, you know, it is very clear that he doesn't think that he can be fired, but that doesn't mean that this election is it going to affect the fed. they are going to have to take into account the policy that trump is planning, what they think about how the econ

donald trump will love this.e, i that made an impression on me. he's a brave man. then more praise, as the kremlin leader said he's ready to talk to trump. what he's said publicly about wanting to improve relations with russia and resolve the ukraine conflict, i think that at least deserves attention. i would like to take this opportunity to congratulate him on his election as the us president. in donald trump's first term, relations with russia had got worse, but the kremlin will spy an opportunity now to build a strong relationship and try to use that to end the war in ukraine on terms beneficial to russia. vladimir putin made his comments at a conference in the mountains of southern russia. the kremlin is counting on a trump administration to thaw ties with the west. when donald trump first became president in 2016, the kremlin's expectations were sky—high. trump was seen as an american leader who would move mountains to mend us—russian relations. it didn't happen. but clearly, russian officials haven't lost h

mimic trump. >> trump. >> donald trump. >> donald trump. >> harris. >> trump. >> harris. >> trump. >>m human, he's like i. >> life is a lot better four years ago. >> i think trump will take it. >> i think he knows how to run the country. >> she respect the democracy. >> is a brilliant woman. >> trump only lies about everything. >> it again, let him get it do done. >> i call the country double o oc -- out of control. [laughter] >> you heard from some voters but do try trump and kamala voters exist? brian kilmeade's here to react so we have shy voters the harris campaign is telling people to lie to their friends and family about? >> the last few days we hear about the shy kamala harris voters for being mainstream? john bon jovi, willie nelson, party be my title. not her fault but you have julia roberts so if you want to me, it's harris. you can't grant that, too. she's running on the republican agenda. she ran on what obama ran on, rockstar politician of our generation if you talk to anyone, the welfare state talking about being tough on immigration, she talks about the tax cut. she tal

trump thinks he's smart. he also thinks he has the quote unquote look as one person told me and he really likes his military record and some of the things he's said about the military, including wanting to get wokeness of the out military. those are some of the thinks i've heard related to that appointment. >> obviously, pending senate confirmation. on the subject of the senate, let's get to laura fox on capitol hill, where they're going to hold a vote shortly on who will be the next senate majority leader. and you've been grabbing these senators going in. what's the count look like right now to you? >> reporter: yeah, john, i'm actually standing in what is known on capitol hill as the ohio clock corridor. this is spot where mcconnell holds a weekly press conference. he's going to be shortly giving that mantle to another top republican. it's really unclear right now who is going to win this race. you have john thune, john cornyn, as well as rick scott who has gotten this late surge in maga support. but i've b

loyalty to trump drives him. loyalty to trump, let's be clear. as the cast of sart knight looking put it this way. >> now thanks to the supreme court, there are no guardrails. >> nothing to protect the people who are brave enough to speak out against him. >> we would like to say to donald trump, we have been with you all along. >> out front live where the trump administration hopefuls and those hoping to influence his picks are flocking to mar-a-lago. the deja vu of it all, what is the latest you're hearing about who is there and what is happening? >> that's right. that island behind me where mar-a-lago is, also the hotels, the different potential rental properties. that's the epicenter of where everything is going on. many are booking the rental properties, trying maneuver their way in with members already of mar-a- lago to get their way in, to appear in front of donald trump. one to get their name in front of him for these potential roles but also to influence him. i think your point about loyalty is so crucial. from every single pick we've see

when biden beat trump back in 2020.t the time, trump put up many roadblocks in the process, never conceded the race, and did not extend the same invitation to biden. trump did come to the white house in 2016, days after he had beaten hillary clinton, and was hosted by then-president barack obama in the oval office. we are also told an invitation was extended to the first lady , to meet with first lady jill biden. it is unclear if and when that meeting will take place. this is all part of the biden and white house efforts to try to make sure that they will show how they will assist in the transition. it could be an interesting meeting, given the fact one of the last in person engagements was on the debate stage, in june, which relates derailed biden's candidacy and wanted him to drop out. they have spoken since then. biden had called to trump following the assassination attempts, they were both at the same new york city 911 event earlier this fall. this will be an interesting meeting, as the men are set to meet face to f

president trump to texas. cornyn himself and thune both tried to align themselves more with donald trump in recent months and perhaps that will pay off if donald trump decides to hold off and not endorse anybody in the contest but endorse them before this key vote wednesday. >> thank you so much for the update. >>> let's discuss with cnn senior political analyst mark preston and gloria borger. glad to have you. first, ask you about elon musk and influence over a second trump administration. posted up at mar-a- lago since the election but not taking on an official role. what do you make of that? >> if i was him i wouldn't take on an official role. all you need is have donald trump's ear we've seen covering him in his first term. all you need the last person to get to him in his ear. that's not just a donald trump problem. a lot of politicians are that way. listen to different people and the one they listen to last persuades them. because of muskal wealth and global power, but not just musk that has his ear. lik

think of this is trump, trump lifted all boats here.eason we are going to have a large majority in the senate is because of trump, only reason we will hold the house is because of trump. stuart: fox news voter analysis shows young men really helped trump win big time. where did the democrats go so wrong with their messaging to men? >> a message of the last we 10 years. they if you look at the breakdown, young white men and young hispanic men, they told them, since they were children that they've done something wrong for being the way they are. you see this on college campuses, bunch of groups crushed to this, they energized, made it okay to be a trump supporter. these are the young men who don't see a great future for themselves whether it is affordable your job market. they turned out in droves. nationwide, trump will hit 47% of the hispanic vote. stuart: men have been told they are not good enough, they are bad, they are toxic, trump appealed to them. thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. david axelrod thinks he knows why harris lo

>> the trump policy. are you expecting -- and i'm wondering also if mondaire can speak to this -- do you give a sigh of relief marco rubio maybe won't be the guy to pull out of nato? >> a few years ago marco rubio would have been the best person i could have hoped for as secretary of state under a trump administration, but when i read those comments he made about ukraine, that gave me pause. i'm a big believer in the idea that the president gets to appoint whoever he or she wants, right? that is what you do when you win an election. you get to advance your policies through your personnel decisions and i'm not saying like this isn't the best that we can hope for under a trump administration to have a guy like marco rubio and yet i'm so alarmed by what may well be the quick end to this war to the benefit of russia, enemy of the united states. >> i feel i have to say i mean a negotiated end to this war, it's not just republicans talking about that. a lot of people think that that might end up being the only

donald trump and he seemed to see eye to eye.her they see eye to eye or not, and indeed on some issues during the previous administration of president-elect trump, there were disagreements, but whether it is a matter of this agreent or agreement, when you get to the issue of gaza and the campaign there, i really believe the existential and quite different views of the government of israel and hamas are e critical factors here. now, the united states supports israel firmly today, it undoubtedly will continue to do so and should into the future, but it is really a matter for hamas, which has agency here. let's not forget that. to be willing to come to the table and discuss the cease-fire which we believe is reasonable which israel has supported but which hamas has declined to respond to four months now. ben: david satterfield, former u.s. ambassador to lebanon and turkey, thank you for being with us and share your thoughts. let me tell the viewers, we have also heard in the last couple minutes, donald trump has chosen the former de

so he has presented himself as sort of a trump emvoy or european invoice to afford the trump presidency, who is basically fully on board with the idea that if he still needs to be negotiated quickly, that this entails probably giving away parts of ukrainian territory that has been occupied and illegally annexed by russia, and in addition, making some concessions to russia so that, you know, one could come to peas do a very quickly. and so victor or button has been the person in the you and his government who has resisted for instance, extension of the renewal of sanctions to longer time periods. precisely because he was both team and donald trump, presidents and the possibility of working together in that direction. but it is, it just a matter of time is and there before the other europe indeed does fall in line with the thinking the from a big to old on because i mean we had already into a 3rd year to avoid is getting hotter and hotter here in europe to, to support the wall, the us as a major contributor to the waterfront of the us been draws from it. and these are the ideas that victo

trump gave netanyahu almost everything he wanted. trump moved the u.s.l aviv to jerusalem. his first foreign-policy trip was to riyadh. he was very close to the crown prince. a regional official tells me that saudi arabia is ready to normalize with israel but israel must agree to a plan in gaza. those are steps that netanyahu has refused. in the meantime, the war in gaza and lebanon continues. we had a producer in gaza speaking to them today. one person was optimistic. >> trump could change things because he has different politics. he could end the war. that would be to make himself look better, not because he likes us. >> cease-fires in the middle east are easier said than done. >> thank you very much. ♪ >> we have more on the results of numerous state ballot measures focused on reproductive rights, two years after roe v. wade was overturned. >> voters in 10 states were asked whether to amend their state constitutions to protect reproductive rights. the ballot measures passed in seven states. in three states, abortion bans will remain in place. the retu
