you know, a lot of people say that us policy is about creating chaos. actually, i think i into the president, very tray, a country i'll give you the most sanctioned in the world. and he said it was all about k us. i know you've been predicting the defeat for the land scan ukraine, but you don't think that the, there's some in the state department do believe at least create as much tales as i think it was a number of another so many b2xb from the united states as part of 50000000000 g 7 loan paid by interest on frozen russian people's money to kill russian soldiers. how well do you think the chaos is going in georgia, remaining animal dover as a by john wayne blinking his go. all seeing eyes here is an incredibly competent state department. i don't think the american policy is to create chaos in places like ukraine or, or in places like syria. i think what we were interested in in syria was regime change. we wanted to get rid of a saw, and we thought that we could put in place for government that would be friendly to the united states. and most important

so here we are once again in chaos. and house democrats are going to stand together and make sure that american families' voices are heard here. because we shouldn't even be in this situation of being on the verge of another shutdown. this is the sixth time in two years that the g.o.p. has led us to this crisis. and it's all about a smokescreen for what they are truly aiming to do in the 119th. that's cut social security and medicare. it is hike up the cost of prescription drugs. and it is ignoring ways to provide solutions to bring down the price of groceries and housing and childcare. this chaos does not benefit anyone except those who already have great wealth and power. and we will remain steadfast in fighting for the american people and delivering for them. it is now my pleasure to yield to our chairman, pete aguilar. mr. aguilar: thank you, whip clark. i agree with everything whip clark and leader jeffries have said. the american people are asking for bipartisanship. we delivered a bipartisan solution. democrats a

i think the key word is chaos.ut that, they don't want syria to slip into chaos, understandably. we were hearing from some of the foreign ministers that they believe that that means that remnants of the asad regime officials need to take part in the government. it can'tjust be stripped away as we saw in iraq. and libya. the iraqi foreign minister mentioned this, saying we don't want another libya in the region. that's a huge concern for that there were eight arab countries. the other message which we been hearing again and again is this government needs to be representatives of all syrians, all the ethnic groups, all the different political groups. there's a big question over that. we've been hearing from syria, hds which has you had its roots without we've been hearing that same message coming time and time again. some people are suspicious because of its past sub others just wonder that if in the circumstances they are trying to deal with whether it is possible to navigate towards that kind of smooth transition a

we would get chaos. we would get the clown car, the clown car of chaos, i think is what we should call it. but i don't think that any of us expected to see it this soon. and, you know, we weren't really talking about the cr. we weren't really talking about the possibility of a government shutdown. we knew this deadline was looming. but to your point, everything was on track for there to be a negotiated, bipartisan solution with the continuing resolution to fund the government that included a lot of things that both parties wanted and not everything that either party wanted. that's how negotiations work. and so, you know that speaker johnson, when he saw elon musk's tweet, was probably thinking to himself, what the f just happened? he was with him. he was with trump earlier, right. and and you can't tell me that this did not come up. and so i think at the end of the day, what this is proving to the american people is that under donald trump, with elon musk whispering in his ear as the puppet master, that

and chaos? when you have the trifecta, people assume maybe stability, not so much yet. >> well, i mean, i. house republicans had a pretty tough go of it over the last year or two, wouldn't you say, with. so i don't know that people really think congress, regardless of which party is in power that they're getting great governance here. but i do think that right now, when you look, i mean, congress's job approval rating is pretty low, but i'm laughing at the job approval. i know, but when you actually look at what people think, donald trump's job approval on the transition at least is much better than congress's. and i think that's why a lot of these republicans who right now are, you know, maybe they are ideologically not in the same place donald trump is on spending things or debt limit or what have you nevertheless feel like. well, my voters really like him. and i think if they had to choose between me and him, they'd probably choose him. and i think that dynamic is driving. >> a lot of folks d

i mean, during 3 nights there was chaos. it was on thinkable. even i was scared and did not understand what was happening. there was no point in evacuating at all. first of all, how is it possible to get there at night and to find a car to leave? the owner of the apartment called me and said she would come on find me a car and let's go together. i said, no, i'll sleep until morning and tomorrow i'll decide me. of course i then could not sleep. we sat with my daughter until morning and observed that yes, there was panic here. some people were afraid that they were going to be slaughtered going, although they tried to call them everyone down saying that they wouldn't talk to anyone and they announced it on all the channel was. well, i mean, while the guy, us terrorist flags, we see an amount that on a truck or rolled into the city of homes. and that goes, i find lots of times and wave sold, serial position fine. well, some of the new regional forces that are on the streets and fight off the right case. the while the american secretary of state is,

we begin with new reaction to the chaos on capitol hill. today, both republicans and democrats are declaring victory and the government funding showdown. democrats are highlighting passing a funding bill that did not lift the debt ceiling. >> the republican party that is not really interested in helping out working-class americans, but is really determined to enact massive tax cuts for the well-connected corporations, that was the centerpiece of donald trump and elon musk, their demands, with respect to recklessly trying to suspend the debt ceiling and secure four to $5 trillion blank check. we stop that from happening. >> republicans are celebrating voting for a new funding bill with fewer pages. >> the size of the stack of what we were originally presented, we started out with 1500 pages and we got it down to 120. >> it with my 1572 page document that was full of pork down to 117 page document. >> also, democrats are focused on chaos and the rocky road that led to the bills passage after the midnight deadline friday. >> this is a predicto

this candle—lit camp followed a night of chaos.gathered on the steps of the parliament with one aim — to call for the impeachment of a president who declared martial law. translation: because we have a history of defending _ democracy a few times, the people will strongly defend democracy once more. translation: i'm out - here as a citizen who could not sit by and watch the democracy breaking down. "resign," the group chanted, before their mexican wave. such a different scene from last night's turmoil. president yoon plunged his country into martial law. soldiers broke through the windows of parliament to prevent elected members from overturning his decree. they were unsuccessful, and after six hours, seoul's parliament, notjust its president, were back in control. today, the building bore the scars of that struggle. repairs have already begun, as has a motion to impeach the president. translation: if they're willing to violate human rights under i martial law, it's obvious that they're also ready to sacrifice people's lives. stay

and the chaos wasn't enough.t rewarded for being the adult in the room and helping govern over this last congress so it ain't going to be enough to just sit back and let them be chaotic. the democrats have to be proactive in what they are communicating outwardly because, come on! >> their core argument is the government does not work, the government does not function. that it actually behooves them when the government does not work and does not function because this proves their point. >> i got nothing. >> you got a gray turtleneck. very snazzy. >> thank you. we are trying to be a little hot and sexy that after christmas but here we are. look, you are both absolutely right. this is something that the american people by and large don't care about because they don't know how their government functions and they don't know how these roles are played and how important they are. why it matters when the is dealing with the budget and the debt ceiling, why it matters when you have an incoming president who wants the spea

they would resort to a pressuring the country and fostering chaos and instability. and here's what we're seeing happening in the, our country and the killing of that. it won in a staff member of the, a one in embassy, damascus, shows that gradually the chaos is taking shape and that of our country. let's take us into the comments by the a wanting supreme later. you know, this is the us plan to dominate countries. is one of 2 things either to create addict, tutorial, individual government with which they compromise tool, divide the interest of that country among themselves. or if that doesn't work, chaos and disorder that i don't know how many from that one does not rely on proxy forces for potential actions in the future. so it remains to be seen how this changing landscape following the fall, the facade in syria, and the recent flare up between israel and the amend. what march the whole region lemme the instability, indonesia is evacuating its citizens from syria. of this time is an easier, has evolved thought of them affected by the conflict in that country. dozen

and saying that syrian state institutions must be preserved to stop the country from splitting into chaos are expecting the us secretary of state antony blinken to make his address as well. that will be following that meeting. the top officials being posted for this meeting, because they want to ensure that the situation in syria does not collapse, that the hts group that overthrew bashir al—assad in that surprise and click overthrowing of the syrian leader, that the camp —— country does not fall into chaos and that some form of peaceful transition to power as possible. for the moment, we have got some lines coming from this press conference from this meeting of arab countries and also the us secretary of state. we will bring those lines to you. more now on developments in georgia, and the parliament has elected a new president. mikheil kavelashvili, a former professional footballer, who was put forward by the governing georgian dream party. live shots from the georgian capital tblisi. pro—eu protesters continue to gather in the capital tblisi and other cities, and accuse the georgian dre

chaos is the whole objective here. >> you've got chaos as describing it on capitol hill. >> chaos, right? complete and utter disarray. >> chaos on capitol hill. >> pure chaos out there. >> trump chaos and dysfunction is back, baby. liz: what a bunch of phonies right? what chaos, what are they talking about? republicans already reportedly struck a short-term spending deal to avoid a shutdown. details in moments. this is the big back story. the big news, house republicans want to stop the drama and the chaos. the pushing out trying to pushout the debt sealing for two years so trump can enact his agenda to fix america. now, democrats want to trap and block the trump agenda and things like tangled up fishing tackle pile of fights over spending like this. congressman jeff van drew is here to react in moments to the new spending deal and the fight to stop spending that makes your taxes and cost of living go up and up and up, also, tonight, this story. >> do you think i'm on trial? these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to

but it's also adding and building to the chaos in syria. any comments from to ron? of course already. let me remind you that when i sad the chart, i saw the former president of c re, uh when he collapse and he felt many believe it signaled the end of the resistance . access unlock the last for a long as it had previously held strategic position. and serial, serving as a crucial link to his beloved of the prevailing analysis suggested that the resistance access had crumbled, dealing a significant blow to these moments republics, the influence and leadership within the broader resistance access. however, the dynamic shifted actually uh, by the many actions, particularly of the successive missile strikes and drone attacks launched by the who fees i guessed as well, the fees, a key component of the resistance access. i really showed that they can alter the perceptions and we shape the narrative significantly. and that was also highlighted by the iranian supreme leader we heard of today from ice about how many he emphasized that those were thoughts, the resistance access

so, sebastian, antony blinken, echoing that word chaos there. of what he had to say? well, i mean, he signed ajoint statement with the arab foreign ministers and also the turkish foreign minister, as well. turkey, of course, has played a very, very big role in the past, but particularly in supporting hts. i mean, i think of all the outside powers, turkey was probably the most proactive in what's happened in the past two or three weeks in the removal of president assad from power. and i mean, that message, yes, it's the one that we've been hearing again and again. but if you look at the us record — i mean, move away from syria for a moment, look at gaza. we've heard from antony blinken many, many times, he's made many visits to the region with plans, with pressure, and he hasn't really achieved anything. desperately trying to get a ceasefire in gaza — has been unable to do that. so, i mean, we have to look at this on the level of, as he said, principles. but there's an element of wishful thinking. the one other kind of interesting thing that he s

well, welcome to the chaos monkeys. >> chaos monkey. and what is that? it means disruptive. >> disruptive, sound good means a lot of different things. there's been some. it doesn't sound good. think about a monkey with chaos. monkeys are already chaotic, but a particularly chaotic monkey is a chaos monkey. that's just an expression about sort of disrupting. and that's the idea in silicon valley is constant disruption, and that's what you're seeing here. >> when you started covering elon musk and at the beginning, you know, and you've interviewed him a million times, did you ever think that you would see it in the situation, in the dynamic that we're seeing now, where if you talk to trump folks, they love him? i mean, he's at dinner with trump and jeff bezos. he's around him all the time. trump certainly obviously cares what he thinks. were you surprised by it? >> uh, he's changed quite a bit. those who've known him for a long time. it's not the person any of us dealt with a while not too long ago, in fact, actually, just in the first trump administration

but it's also adding and building to the chaos in syria. any comments from tie rod that we heard today from i it's about how many he emphasized that those who thought there was this, this access is weak or now falling from what happened in syria, our mistake. and he said he also expressed confidence that the situation in syria would eventually stabilize the side of the situation. we'll go back to normal, enabling got the youth and the citizens of the our country to reclaim control from the chaos instigated by the west and western powers. he said, let's think of us and part of the few, i don't know what it is and i predict that despite this incident, the emergence of a strong hon group will emerge in syria. the syrian youth have nothing to lose the streets in life are on safe. what should they do? they must stand with strong will against those who design the same security and those who implemented it, and in shallow they will triumph over them. the regions tomorrow will be better than today. the iranian supreme leader, i don't know how many

the country is hoping for peace — and fearing chaos.different areas, no one knows how this will play out, but whatever happens here will be felt across the middle east. that was barbara plett usher in damascus, as the city fell. the assad family controlled syria for 53 years. president bashar al—assad took power in 2000, after his father had held power since the early 19705. russia propped up the a55ad dynasty for decades but in the past few years it's for decades but in the past few years its focus has shifted. 0ur russia added to steve rosenberg has more from the news coming from russian state new5 coming from russian state television that the former president is now in moscow. it was a brief announcement, quoting a kremlin 5ource, saying that bashar al—a55ad and his family had arrived in moscow, been given asylum on humanitarian grounds. i think that these extraordinary events that these extraordinary events that we've been witne55ing are a major blow to the kremlin. i mean, after all, russia's intervention in the syrian war was driv

but it's also adding and building to the chaos in syria. any comments from to ron that we heard today from i to the harmony. he emphasized that those who thought the resistance access is weaker. now falling from what happened in syria, our mistake. and he said that he also expressed confidence that the situation in syria would eventually stabilize the side of the situation will go back to normal, enabling god, the youth and the citizens of the our country to reclaim control from the chaos instigated by the west and western powers, he said, let's take a lesson on the feel for this and i predict that despite this incident, the emergence of a strong hon group will emerge in syria. the syrian youth have nothing to lose the streets in life are unsafe. what should they do? they must stand with strong will against those who design the same security and those who implemented it. and in show they will try, i'm over them the regions tomorrow will be better than today, but that let's see the one and so can be there. i don't know how many we either way

chaos is the point. chaos is the whole objective here. that does feel like authoritarianism, when they want to destroy democratic institutions and democratic processes and replace it with chaos. there were a lot of people who are going to be hurt by this. >> it was that steve bannon interview seven years ago when he said we want to blow the whole thing up and burn it down. >> the congressman,-year-old sparring partner and host oversight james comber had an interview today. he's one of the central people pushing for the impeachment of joe biden and he said this today, he was asked if he was going to hold the same standard for president trump. he said as long as president trump is transparent, i think the american people give them a pass on his business activity. if it ever comes out that he has secret deals, that could potentially become a problem. i was curious what your thoughts on that were. >> if you take the foreign emoluments clause, phil, for example, it says that nobody in federal government, including the president, shall accept a

jeffrey says the spending bill fly is classic trump chaos.o you respond to that. >> did you see the smile on jen psaki phase this is the first time she saw the opportunity to smile since 11:00 p.m. on november 5. they're going to take what they view as a win anywhere they can get it. at the end of the day the trump breeds chaos wherever he goes. let's say for argument sake that the four years under donald trump or chaos, the american people voted for those four years over the last four years when things might not of been as clean and linear, the word that i use from 2017 to 2020. look at where we are the last four years, that's at the trump voters in the non- trump voters wanted to change said with her both on november 5. ashley: the democrats don't seem to get it. stay right there as i always warn you we locked the door so you can't get away. let's take a look at the future, the dow and s&p showing downward arrows, the nasdaq slightly higher, mike lee joins us, great to have you along. i know you are bullish but will happen to the santa rale

both leaders watching the chaos in seoul play out and tonight it is not just the chaos in south korea. it is, of course, as i point out most unstable moment in more than 40 years, part and parcel of an incredibly unstable moment around the world from ukraine, where a former top general says world war three has already begun to mass protests in georgia and an uprising and mass rebels in syria. germany making plans right now to turn buildings into bomb shelters. they've told the public. and all of this no doubt, will be a test. a major test for president-elect trump and his incoming administration. trump, of course, has made no secret of his love for korea, which is facing its most challenging period in decades and i love south korea. >> they're wonderful people, extremely ambitious. i get along great with south korea i get along great with the people in south korea all about south korea of course, is also talked about his love letters from kim jong un and north korea. >> mike valerio begins our coverage outfront live in seoul, where there is a heavy police presence. i first want to beg

or if that doesn't work, chaos and disorder that i put on how many firmed up one does not provide on proxy forces for potential actions in the future. so it remains to be seen how this changing landscape following the fall, the facade in syria, and the we send flare up between israel and the amend. what march? the whole region process has doubled the and on his criticism of the i the on ball. but the goal is also as well as so to that his conclusion was on justified. the head of the catholic church tossed back reiterating that it is especially useful so easily falls is to be committing a tax but have killed children. it back yesterday, the patriarch was not allowed to enter gaza, as was promised. yesterday children were bombed. this is cruelty. this is not more . i want to say this because it touches my heart high to you is terrors hiding behind children. well, try to murder is really children. unfortunately, the pope has chosen to ignore all of this enough with the double standards and the singling out of the jewish state. and its people is where the light is on friday was says of k
