brett welcome to you. get to have you with us.s we pick up the coverage of this stark event unfolding right now. >> it afternoon. this is the pop -- pomp and circumstance of a state funeral at president carter serving as president was not someone who is really about the grandeur of the office. in fact he initially for bid or band the playing of hail to the chief when he was president because he wanted to come in with the workingmen's attitude to demonstrate humility, to kind of restore faith in government after vietnam and watergate and he wanted to be a man of the people. eventually over the years he came to the case that they came up with this funeral plan and one of the stops is here at the navy memorial meant to take note of his service in the navy as a summary and are. you know, as you mentioned earlier he was the only president in history to graduate from the u.s. naval academy. his father was in the army and his uncle who we really liked does he really liked and inspired him was in the navy pier originally as a submariner,

what i'm sure these grassy brett _ night. what i'm sure these grassy brett banks - night.ime tomorrow. we will see one of these sides get a positive bit of momentum in this quick fire series. can england get their hands on the trophy or ball will australia be retained the trophy? while the talk there is all about the ashes, the england captain, heather knight, has commented on the recent controversy surrounding the men's match against afghanistan in pakistan next month. some members of the british parliament want england to boycott the match due to many issues under the taliban, including the treatment of women. it is really difficult. any succumb of the top, that is my view. i know that afghanistan have sent a clear message to people i have fled the country so it is not a simple boycott and things will change. let's have a quick look at some of the day's other sports stories. india's fast bowler jasprit bumrah will miss the five—match t20 international series with england. bumrah, the highest wicket—taker in the recent test series with australia, which india lost 3—1, had

brett mcgirk is on the ground. he has all of the information, he has been there at the direction of the president. certainly with national security adviser jake sullivan leading that effort. and so he's going to have a lot more information than any of us here. will have. because he's been on the ground. understanding, working with the negotiators and understanding how this process has worked. so that's how this works. >> you said that you wish your successor luck. have you had any extensive conversations with her? about this job? karine: i haven't. but i'm not -- i'm not the only white house press secretary or soon to be former white house press secretary out there. i'm sure there are many people for her to connect with and speak with. but i have not had a conversation with her. reporter: how many americans will be in the first trawnch and when will they start coming out? karine: that's a good question. that's why brett mcgirk will hold the call and have that information. the president said the same thing when he w

sullivan, brett mcgurk, steve witkoff we rlly grateful. have you played over in your mind what the moment will be like when you were able to embrace your son? just hug him and hold him and just to hear what what he experienced in those. 16 months, i'm sure it will have a lot to say. and what will you want to say to him? thank you for holding you our hero, and be strong and just, just just hug him and kiss him. well, audie, thank you so much for being with us and sharing your story not only today, but over the many months. and this obviously is still a tough road ahead here, as all of this is laid out and implemented. but we do thank you for coming on and speaking with us. thank you. lester. let's bring in nbc news international correspondent daniele hamamdjian. she's on the ground in tel aviv's hostage square. can you give us a sense of what the celebrations have been like, what the reaction has been like there tonight? yeah. good evening lester. in fact, a woman just came up to us saying she heard the news and she ran here, but she said,

senator brett. sen. brett: thank you, mr. chairman. several of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have insinuated that your friendship with donald trump is a problem. my colleagues on my side of the aisle have leaned into this kind of exposing the hypocrisy given what we have seen before from previous administrations. i would just like to read something to you from 1961. washington, january 13, the senate judiciary committee approved without objection today president elect john f. kennedys' selection of his brother, robert, as attorney general. the vote came after two-hour hearing. would you like a two-hour hearing? ms. bondi: can we redo this? sen. brett: the vote game after a two-hour hearing devoted to the large part to the praise of mr. kennedy. forecast there would be several critically -- critical questions especially from republicans proved incorrect. all 14 committee members present voted to approve the nomination when it was formally made. "the new york times." as it said, blood is thicker than water. meaning family

supreme court justice brett kavanaugh, and others.ice president kamala harris kamala harris, senate majority leader jon thelen, has, house speaker mike johnson, other to remember the 39th president of the united states y members continue to make their way in. chad, you're still us. let us know more about what we are about to see as a country says goodbye to the former president carter. >> this will take a couple of minutes to actually get the casket over. we talked about this wooden platform that was built for the first state funeral that they did in the rotunda. it was for abe lincoln in 1865. you're looking at some bipartisan senators, john barrasso, elizabeth warren the democrat from washington. excuse me, for massachusetts, to the left. that is muriel bowser, the mayor of washington, d.c. there will be a moment where they bring the casket in to the rotunda, right in the middle of the rotunda. the house and the senate, they don't do anything political inside the rotunda. it is reserved exclusively for events like this. as we said,

joining us now is jonathan gilliam, former fbi special agagent, brett sadler sr. fellow at the hoover foundation and charles moreno, former ths senior advisor. jonathan, i have to start with you. all afkind of amazing to watch all of thites and watch the reaction from officials aftefacr the fact. it does seem like authorities were completely caught off guard here and i'm prepared for this. >> i think complacency is the word. it is just as shocking to watch t these people walk down the same road thastt this happened last nighitt and not even give it or sorry, two nights ago and not i even t give it a thought. to me, that is very alarming. but i think you are getting on something here, law enforcementv and citye officials around the country have failed to evolve as the attackers evolved their tactics. these truck attacks have been talked about and used by isis since 2010 when they rode an article about how efficient they are. d i think it is one of the easiest things to guard against. i think what we saw in the press conference in new orleans is a sign of the incomp

>> it will be directed by brett ratner, which is the filmmaker's first major project since 2017.all he was accused of sexual misconduct by numerous women and has denied those allegations. [boos] >> desi: mm-hmm. accused of sexual misconduct? does donald trump know he wasn't convicted? because that might be a deal breaker! but i'll tell you, amazon is really committing to this. based on this new ad that we definitely did not make up, this melania documentary is only the beginning. >> coming this spring, amazon is proud to announce its new, unbiased documentary "melania: the greatest first-est lady" appeared from legendary and totally innocent director brett ratner, melania will provide an in-depth look at this bewitching role model. but that is not all. stay tuned for many more objective documentaries, like "don jr.: the genie is sex god who is penis is fantastic," directed by jared vogel. "eric trump: the new leonardo da vinci," directed by harvey weinstein. and j.d. vance, the man who is farts should be sold as cologne, executive produced by jeffrey epstein's plane and featuring

secretary jake sullivan, national security advisor jake sul vin, brett, and others and the vice president worked relentliesly as we worked to deliver this deal -- relentlessly as we worked to deliver this deal. i also note this deal was developed and negotiations under my administration, but its terms will be implemented for the most part by the next administration. these past few days we have been speaking as one team. this has been time of real turmoil in the middle east. but as i prepare to leave office, our friends are strong, our enemies are weak, and there is a genuine opportunity for a new future. in lebanon, there is an opportunity for a future. free from the grip of hezbollah. in syria, a future free from the tyranny of assad. and for the palestinian people, a credible, credible pathway to a state of their own. and for the region, a future of normalization, integration of israel and all its arab neighbors, including saudi arabia. the g-20 in deli -- delhi in september of 2023 i rallied countries from an economic carter from india across the middle east to europe. that vision can

brett, thank you for joining us.as killed in the trade centers on 9/11 when you were 15, as i recall? >> that's right, yeah. thank you for having me this morning. charlie: it's good to see you with. now, you know, on in this this story it's kind of amazing, you know, i would argue that the only reason that secretary austin decided to rescind this plea deal in the first place was because the administration if got caught out on it, and you and others exposed them, and then they kind of ran around trying to undo it. is that a fair assessment? >> that's right. it was a politically motivated decision to rescind it. we think that they knew all along that there was no way to do it, but mt. heat of the election -- mt. in the heat of the election in the leadup to november, they were utterly called out on the carpet for a horrific decision. look, i haven't heard from a single 9/11 family member that thinks this is a good idea. and the here is that everything about -- the reality here is that everything about 9/11, this 23 the-

we are not johnny, this is the bill biggest economy and the brett holes was really do repaired. of course, the salon and beyond desire to the you a lead are experiencing about the upcoming served much in the same way actually as we saw brussels very know, obviously uh, watching the twin 2 twins, 2 general election in its my approach is that what ever democratic government is willing to work with us. we're working together. if they go in a difficult direction, i've spoken about hungary and poland. we have tools undergone know you're a pin uh citizen. but i think if i was, i was sentenced in both of them to land and i brought homes was really an opposite content, not just an option of suffering to you, but also the will of the very people that they claim at least to represent really concerning and such, get the remaining and election last year. set a precedent for these kind of actions. can you take us through the situation in the balkans? well, i think the events in bucharest at the end of last year adds the very sinister edge of course, to brussels. was you'll recall that nato c

be set credit to us, but as basically the message from uh, from a friend to you. commissioner terry brett tells who seems to be triggered by an online chat between elaine moss. i'm one of the candidates for the job and john salon at the a. if these alice vital is fine for the top job in next month election. now the expo to and hard cool trump ally has really gained bit of a taste for the sick substance. in fact, suppose the winning full state side, but it's increasing. we've been looking beyond the american souls and to be honest, he's been trolling politicians that they things and things like quote stupid questions. so i sent everything how it's so true to form. he did have a few words from the ship. the astounding absurdity of terry breton as tyrant of europe, tyrant of europe. wow. but no ilan musk the eu has no mechanism to nullify any election anywhere in e u. not at all. what is said in the video related only to the application of the dsa and it's moderation obligations lost in translation or another fake news? well, some of a former comments thoughts prep probably feels quite perso

and you mentioned the brett kavanaugh hearings.ople and, you know... put kamala harris... harris. ..on the map, as you know, a pointed and smart prosecutor. and you have to remember, this is a party in flux. we've about this before. i've talked to several democrats who have said what resistance movement, and i think they're looking for something. they're looking for a fight, unify behind a common enemy. and i think these confirmation hearings are giving them something to fight for. something to fight for and try and pick up the pieces after the election. so, i agree, i think we'll hear loudly from some democratic senators. do you think there's any possibility that anything comes out in these confirmation hearings? for example, when tulsi gabbard is grilled about her meeting which also is quite interesting. but i don't know. i think donald trump has such a hold over the republican party at party at the moment. that would be an incredibly brave republican senator at this point to kind of go against him. i mean, we sawa big push from

and mike wallace spoke at an event where they discussed the partnership between steve witkoff and brett mcgurk from the current administration. speaking about these hostage negotiations. but it appears that president elect trump no real surprise here. he is taking distinct credit for this. he's saying that before he even gets into the white house, this is what we can expect. and this comes andrea. of course, after many times on the campaign over the last several weeks, the president elect saying that all hell would break loose if these hostages were not released before he took office. now, trump, right now we're here in west palm beach. he is, as we understand it, at his golf course. he left mar-a-lago a little earlier this morning. we don't yet know. he has not spoken on camera yet, but a person familiar with the process says that the inclusion of the word we in his initial his initial post on social media that we have reached a cease fire deal. that word we was very intentional and in the view of the transition team, that steve witkoff was extremely involved in this process. so the pr

brett crawford, thank you so much for joining us. really appreciate you walking us through your story. all right. speaking of the fires, thanks. let's get the latest on the red flag warnings right now. in effect, and the dangerous weather conditions this hour. meteorologist allison chinchar back with us. now, where are the greatest threats right now as we see this red flag warning once again rising? >> yeah. that's right. so it's the pink area that you see behind me. this is really where the focus is going to be really for the next 12 hours. and that's where the peak winds are expected to be. those wind gusts 5060 even in some isolated spots as high as 70mph. and this red flag warning is valid from now all the way until 6 p.m. local time in california. and even embedded within that red flag warning, you have these two zones right here. these are being labeled particularly dangerous situations, and that is valid until 3 p.m., because that's really when we will finally start to see some of those winds begin to come back down. you have

i don't think that republicans in their heart of hearts, saw brett kavanaugh as a joke, that they wereto condone as a test of loyalty, whereas this is just such a farce. but i think that what you see is that what happened to christine blasey ford was a very powerful demonstration for anyone else who would come forward. and so when you think about the republican organizer who filed this police report accusing pete hegseth of sexual assault, you know, there is a i would assume that she looks at what's happened to women like christine blasey ford and thinks, no, thank you. and so there's a reason i would assume that she has not come forward. well, and i would say that same pressure campaign in a different way is being exerted upon republicans who might stand in line and potentially talk to that victim. you know, it is it is worth noting that the drivers behind this kind of neo, neo, neo traditionalist christianity that people like pete hegseth are a part of is the drivers are really interesting and they are cultural. the usa today reports that the founder of pete hegseth church, pilgrim h

brett mcgurk, for their efforts that contributed to push these negotiations forward and reach this deal. i would also like to express my deepest thanks and gratitude to our brothers from the arab republic of egypt and his excellency, the minister, hassan rashad, who have contributed and made serious efforts in collaboration with their qatari partners in order to make this deal a success. with the approval of both sides and the negotiators on this deal, in order to finalize all executive measures for tonight. and after that, we will be taking all the internal measures. apologies. the israeli government will be taking the internal measures, after which the agreement will enter into effect on sunday, january 19th. >> the exact timing will be identified later. >> the phase one of the agreement will go on for 42 days, and it will include a ceasefire and the withdrawal of israeli forces to the east, away from populated areas. israeli forces will then be positioned along the gaza border and which will allow for the swap of prisoners, as well as the swap of remains and the return of the displac

attorney brett tolman. thanks for being with us. nicole, i want to go to you first, because if you continue to mislead the american people, then when you actually go to say something, you really do wonder if they're really telling us the truth, particularly about the border. they kept saying it was secure. they had operational control, but they don't. and so when they come out and they say it wasn't terrorism, then it was terrorism then. well, they have accomplices then. they don't have accomplices. now. i know it's a moving target. i know they want to provide the best information, but their starting point was it wasn't terrorism. but you had, you know, at that point, ten dead and 30 people in the hospital. shouldn't this starting point be? this is probably terrorism and they will walk it back if we need to. >> jason, i agree with you completely. and i heard that press conference, and i was absolutely astonished when i heard the, you know, police head of police for new orleans say, you know, this is an act of terrorism. and then we

president biden sent brett out to qatar more than a week ago. heats been camped out in doha, day in, day out, 24 hours a day working to tighten up these details and try to get this done. we have also coordinated very closely with the incoming administration to present a united message to alt parties which says, it is in the american national security interest regardless of party, outgoing or incoming administration, to get this deal done as fast as possible. and now we think those details are on the blink of -- brink of being fully hammered out and the parties are right on the cusp of being able to close this deal. whether or not we go from where we are now to actually closing it, the hours and days ahead will tell. but i believe it is there for the taking and we'll do everything we can to push it to get it across the line. reporter: historians one day will rank the history of the biden foreign policy. and sum prizing it in two or three sentences, how would you write those two or three sentences? jake: we made our alliances stronger. our enemies

. >> brett, always great to have you. thank you very much. someone else who spends an inordinate amount of time on capitol hill is chris jenkins. he is part of our lineup on "outnumbered." you were telling me what these next moments are like inside that room. >> they will take the roll call and will establish whether or not all 434 members showed up, otherwise we have to change the math but we expect to have all 434 there. there is a lot of anxiety for mike johnson to see if he can get clear but there is also an enormous amount of pressure on the dozen to two dozen republican holdouts. they are facing making a choice right now. do they want to make a statement or do they want to make laws, which is the mandate november 5th voters sent to washington, giving republicans a trifecta in the senate and the white house. any vote that does not support johnson right now, this is the case he has made to these holdouts, saying i understand what you are saying but i am not cutting the old and we have to get down to the business of the country. it is not

we asked brett mcgurk, white house coordinator for the middle east and one of president biden's closestficial told us government lawyers -- weapons have continued to flow. the official said hamas could end the war by returning the hostages. the belief here in the white house is that cutting off weapons would lead to an even longer, deadlier conflict, and that it is america's military support and diplomacy that has prevented a wider war in the middle east. >> this could not have come -- >> reporter: but the director of the fbi told congress the war in gaza has raised the threat of a terror attack at home. >> we've seen the threat from foreign terrorists rise to a whole nother level after october 7th. >> reporter: the acting director of the national counterterrorism center, brett holmgren, told "60 minutes" that anti-american sentiment driven by the war in gaza is at a level not seen since the iraq war, and that groups like al quaeda and i.s.i.s. are recruiting on that sentiment, issuing the most specific calls for attacks on america in years. >> the level of anger throughout the arab wor

it's going to be the brett kavanaugh playbook.book has been, in effect, an operative for so many candidates for office under under both administrations, actually just but the combativeness and the fight that the republican nominees bring to the table has changed american politics, slowly but surely over the past ten years. and now it's regarded as almost normal that you have someone completely ill equipped to be secretary of defense is on the precipice of becoming secretary of defense. shame on us. well, well, let's wait and see. there are republicans again that, if you look at their past record, would have absolutely no reason to confirm this nominee. and, you know, we i've spoken of todd young who's a very serious thinker on on foreign policy and national security and has dedicated much of his adult life to that. you have the dave mccormick, the new the new senator from the state of pennsylvania, who, by the way, is not up for reelection for six years. but again, he campaigned talking about military culture and being raised in a

brett kavanaugh may have shown some separation.y roberts -- coney barrett and roberts you have some not willing to toe the line. geoff: donald trump wants to make america bigger. he has talked about obtaining greenland from denmark and wants to reclaim the panama canal and wants to turn canada into the 51st state in addition to wanting to rename the gulf of mexico. it is unclear how serious he is. he talked about wanting to take greenland in the first administration. what should we make of this? >> [laughter] look, i'm going to take a page out of rachel maddox's book which is don't listen to what they say but pay attention to what they do. he can talk all sorts of smack about greenland and gulf of america and making canada the 51st state. but, until he actually does something, if he does try to take greenland were rename the gulf of mexico or if he does try to act on these things he is talking about, then i will take him seriously. this is what i learned from the first term, we will drive ourselves crazy if we react to everything h

brett baer is coming on screen for us now. promises for his first hundred days. what do you expect on day one? >> hey, stuart, good morning. i think i was on your show last week and said i'm hearing trump world is ready for shock and yaw on day one in the first hours of being in the oval office, and now we're starting the get some granularity to that. it will be north of 150 executive orders signed in the first hours the oval office. finish now, what that covers will run the gamut from immigration to to riegelations -- regulations, to rollback of some of the green executive orders sign toed in the first hours of the biden administration. but it is an undoing of the biden executive orders and even some more on different topics. so as we get more and more of what that covers, obviously we'll reveal that. but it's going to be a flurry of executive orders that change the way this country operates. stuart: i think what your saying pave some influence on the market -- may have some influence on the markets whether you like it or not

. >> molly, i'm old enough to remember that when brett kavanaugh was confirmed by the senate, a numberthe same senators who are currently sitting now, not all of them, but a number of them were members of congress. they were members of the senate, and they listened to much more substantiated, much more detailed allegations of sexual assault and wrongdoing, which were alleged against now supreme court justice brett kavanaugh and it did not seem to matter. is this a conversation that is as angeles smoke and mirrors as rick has pointed out to avoid the fact that at its core, pete hegseth does not have the resume that would be commiserate with being the secretary of defense? >> i think we will have to wait and see. look, the dod is a huge, huge, huge group of people. it is 3 million+ people. it is an enormous organization to lead and i think, certainly, a lot of his republican senators -- essay it is an enormous job and a person who has never led an organization this big. i think people really have this need. there is the issue, the kavanaugh issue is a bit different because you had a he s

as i want to tell you brett, can you pan over that? >> house is gone. house is burning right now. >> just look at the aftermath of the palisades fire. you can see entire blocks turned to ash for we're gonna be updating you on the firefight efforts all this morning as they work to try to get everything under control. all los angeles county schools are going to be closed this morning because of those fires. and the superintendent is saying 2 elementary schools in the district have already been destroyed. those buildings are among thousands of facilities that have been completely wiped out by 6 wildfires. kron four's. dan kerman has the latest for us. >> wednesday evening, fires continue to burn along the pacific coast highway in santa monica and malibu up the hill. much of pacific palisades has been destroyed and what hasn't been continues to be threatened. this incident is very, very dynamic as we speak. the good news, the winds have subsided a bit enough to allow are fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft to provide critical. >> support. to this fire more

brett, yeah, this was a test of the president-elect's strength, and he certainly passed it. >> yeah, it was. good afternoon again. you know, this is history. the 119th congress now in session. speaker johnson being sworn in by the dean of the house, hal rogers. the longest serving member elected in 1980 served since 1981 there from kentucky, but this is a moment. there was a lot of drama today with these two votes being switched at the end to keep it on the first ballot. a little background there. according to sources in trump wo world, president-elect trump made calls all morning prior to the vote but his most consequential call we're told was as the vote was locked up with motorcycle johnson short of the panelet and three he members having voted against him. congresswoman nancy mace, others convened the stand outs. ralph norman and keith self and a side office just off the floor for a conference call where we're told the president-elect was on the speaker phone we're told he said something to the effect of it would be disrespectful to americans who voted in an historic presidential

it's that you have four justices and to me it means, to the extent anyone was looking at brett kavanaughing he was going to be part of a sort of swing of amy coney barrett, the chief justice, and brett kavanaugh, this signals that he is really putting his lot in, it seems to me, with the conservative, the sort of arch-conservative group. >> and two of those justices, thomas and alito, completely compromised as to the appearance of impartiality. they of course should be recused from the case. they should have recused themselves and they haven't. there is that in addition to it. we will squeeze in a break here and go to the other big defendant trump news of the night, which is the appeals court saying, yes, jack smith report can come out. we will be back with that right after this break. ter this break [clears throat] sounds like you need to vaporize that sore throat. vapocool drops? it's sore throat relief with a rush of vicks vapors. ♪ vapocooooool ♪ whoa. vaporize sore throat pain with vicks vapocool drops. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me fel

brett lurie, shaun marcum what was that experience like being on other ends and negotiating, you knowth pretty high stakes. maddening. yeah, it's. look, any trade conversation is difficult. i think the nice thing when i think about our conversations on any trade, we actually did mike baumann last year for $100,000. it is pretty direct. there's no skirting around. there's no i'm going to ask for two players with the hope of he's going to give me one of them. we're just very direct with each other. so it is a little refreshing. when i talk to him. we can sense either there's something there for us to continue to work at or there's nothing there, and we're just going to move on. so from that standpoint, working with him in that aspect is, is refreshing. i know marcum was good in milwaukee. and then you guys made a trade that helped you get josh donaldson. do you feel like the one you made, the marquee one you made worked out pretty well for both? absolutely. good baseball trade for both. help both teams. and that's what that's what a good trade is right. it helps both sides. you guys now
