his sister's husband, with a sex tape featuring a sex worker that charlie kushner had hired. only in new jersey. >> and they now have a new charge. witness intimidation every incredulous news report about the scandal included that, in addition to being that kind of guy, charles kushner was also governor mcgreevey's biggest donor. >> it was the kind of attention mcgreevey really wanted to avoid, especially considering the skeletons in his closet and the one on his payroll you only come across an artist like luther vandross once in a lifetime. >> he was a boss from the beginning. >> luther said, i have a sound in my head. i got to get it out. you are my shining star. >> my. >> it was the most exciting time in the world. >> his life had extremely joyful moments and some really difficult moments. >> if we were to be able to talk to luther as fans, we'd be able to say we just love you. >> luther. never too much. new year's day at eight on cnn. >> what took you so long? >> i'm sorry. there was a long line at the thai place. >> you get the sauce i like, of course. >> you're the man.

what is your reaction to these latest pics, charlie kushner and tiffany's father-in-law?omfrey over party. the new motto is family over country. it's clear that donald trump is not only going to find the most loyal people he can, but he's going to make it -- blood is thicker than water so he's going to get the blood is absolutely loyal as he can by appointing these people who are family members, and john can tell you a little bit about the chris christie prosecution of charles kushner. which is too crude for me to even say on television. it's just incredible. chris christie was prosecutor in new jersey so this is one of the most loathsome crimes he ever prosecuted. >> yet he got the gig. tiffany's father-in-law is a middle east advisor and now we are looking at kash patel as potentially head of the fbi. what does this tell you about donald trump's pics? as i think back to right after he won, all the people in kind of his wall street university and is about to pivot to the middle, this is about his legacy. we are not going -- that's not where we are. what is your take? >>

chris christie, who prosecuted charlie kushner for, among other things, hiring a prostitute to to seduce his brother in law and secretly tape it, weighed in on that today, i want you to listen to what he had to say i'm not the least bit surprised. >> this is who donald trump is. and really, i think that the appointment of kushner is like a middle finger. that's what it is like. i can do whatever i want. and how about this? now i'm going to do this. see how you like that and see if any of you have the guts to say no to that. that's what charles kushner has become. and now i do wonder about mr. kushner, why he would want to drag all this up i used to work for chris christie. >> what did you make of what he said about that he certainly has an opinion on it. >> he was obviously personally involved in the prosecution of mr. kushner. um, and only new jersey politics have a story like that i think this is certainly he's entitled to his opinion, and he may not be wrong but, you know, this is this is his daughter's father in law. i mean, it could be as simple as that. as simple as that ambassador

. >> good news, charlie kushner is going to be the ambassador so all of these issues will be okay [ laughter> we will stay focused on elon musk. he is learning the governing is much, much harder than it looks.

. >> good news, charlie kushner is about to be the embassador to france and he's going to solve all theses going to be great. these two are sticking around. when we return, we're going to stay to focused on elon musk because he's testing his political influence in this spending fight. but he's learning the government is much much harder than it looks. eleventh hour, we still have a lot more to come tonight. patients who have sensitive teeth but also want whiter teeth, they have to make a choice- one versus the other. new sensodyne clinical white, it provides 2 shades whiter teeth as well as providing 24/7 sensitivity protection. patients are going to love to see sensodyne on the shelf. mopping is hard work, but then i tried the swiffer powermop. it has a built-in solution that breaks down dirt on contact. plus, it's 360-degree swivel head cleans up along baseboards and even behind the toilet. bye, bye bucket. with the swiffer powermop. >>> elon musk and i talked about an hour ago. and we talked about the extraordinary challenges of this job: i said hey you want to be speaker of the house.

. >> charlie kushner, getting the ambassador to france gig is the sweetest, cushiest job ever , but it'sfor the american people. who, for you do you think is the most dangerous and the most serious? >> hegseth, tulsi gabbard, and now kash patel. those are dealing with national security. those are dealing with fundamental issues of law and order. the senate i think will reject a few of them. but how many will they stomach and have the spine to do. john thune is probably the most important person right now in the maintenance of american democracy. >> which is why he wasn't elected by accident. >> by silent boat and not the maga choice. if they follow through and say senators won't give secrets to people they feel are not qualified, experienced or could be compromised. kash patel, director of the fbi nominee who has a list of enemies, enemies list and a book he published should be as qualifying out of the gate which is why he came under criticism or pushback even from tromso aides reportedly. by that standard, tiffany's father-in-law can't do that much damage. >> i just saw head to toe leat

before, when it was donald trump pardoning steve bannon, paul manafort roger stone, michael finn, charlie kushner, same concern. then listen, you guys can spend all day long trying to spin this, that this is donald trump's fault that this is somehow caused by donald trump. >> oh, he's appointing the wrong people oh, he did it. oh this is the worst possible thing. a president could possibly do to his party and to the country to sit for a year and say i will not do this. i will not do this. the rule of law is sacred. we have to respect the justice system juries. we have to respect juries. we have to respect the guardrails and the norms of our democracy. these people are liars. inflation is transitory afghanistan. it's a success. the border is secure. robert. he is a liar. the videos are cheap fakes. biden has a cold. he'll never drop out oh i'll never pardon hunter. it's all a lie. it is all a grift. every american except the most partisan brain rotted people are going to be outraged by this today. he is going to leave off, you think 38, 39% job approval is bad. just you wait. just you wait he's di

trump pardoned roger stone, who had incriminating information about him and paul manafort and charlie kushner. and, you know, the list goes on. that's not why it's okay, in my view, for joe biden to to then to pardon him what you said about kash patel or we've seen perhaps what trump wants from his law enforcement arm, having picked matt gaetz. >> obviously that didn't work out for him. but then pam bondi someone who's very loyal to him and whose independence has been questioned is it then your belief that the justice department, i mean, the law enforcement, federal law enforcement, should americans have faith in federal law enforcement now because it seems that this decision has brought that into question i think what it brings it into question is the nominees that donald trump has put forward, matt gaetz pam bondi kash patel tulsi gabbard. >> these are not people who are going to implement the rule of law. they are they have been picked to weaponize the federal government against donald trump's enemies and his adversaries. and that is that is the risk to the rule of law. and that is why joe

kushner said. donald trump junior called him a fun presence and said that would be an understatement. charlie kirk praised him as well. peter navarro matt gaetz i've never been to a sergio dj party where a conga line doesn't break out. >> yeah. he also officiated matt gaetz's wedding, so he's definitely been a very present force in in trump world. but he's also the reason we wrote about him. he's also going to have an incredibly important job where he is going to be in charge of the vetting for trump's. for many of the people serving in trump's second term. and i think one thing that really came through in the story was his loyalty to trump. that's often what people said about him, or one of the first things people said about him that he was with trump. even when trump was not as popular, was kind of viewed briefly as a pariah. after january 6th, sergio gore was was pretty much there with him throughout. and he he's viewed as very loyal. and i think that in vetting the future trump government, he's going to be looking at loyalty as one of the factors that's going to be really key to some of t
