of donald trump, donald trump said cannon was thrown off the case. cannon was not thrown off the case. in fact, no one was thrown off the case. cannon was thrown off the case. those were his exact words. he was referring there to his favorite judge in history, judge aileen mercedes cannon, who issued an order today, while donald trump was speaking, blocking the release of jack smith reports on donald trump. we will discuss that momentarily with andrew wiseman. since no one was thrown off the cases involving donald trump, it's impossible to know who he meant. and i'm not going to guess. that's a mistake. guessing what donald trump means when he says something incoherent is a mistake. that is an attempt to impose logic on what is coming out of donald trump's incoherent mind, and that is impossible. all we know is donald trump said, cannon was thrown off the case, and whoever he was talking about, he could not possibly have meant cannon. it would be worth keeping a count from this day forward of how many names donald trump gets wrong when he is speaking

donald trump appearing virtually there but the judge has just sentenced donald trump.er the conviction in the hush money case and he said he is imposing no jail orfinery but imposing no jail or finery but the imposing no jail orfinery but the sentence places judgment of guilt on the president elect�*s record. —— fine. thejudge guilt on the president elect�*s record. —— fine. the judge was keen to pursue this despite the last—minute efforts of donald trump to block the sentencing, and that did not work, and the supreme courtjudges decided supreme court judges decided against supreme courtjudges decided against throwing out the last—minute bid from donald trump so today the sentencing went ahead and the breaking development, i will repeat it, thejudge decided to development, i will repeat it, the judge decided to sentence donald trump to an unconditional discharge over the conviction in the hush money case and he has imposed no jail time money case and he has imposed no jailtime and no money case and he has imposed no jail time and no fine but the sentence means it is a

and here donald trump did. the reason why i'm legally shocked is because he really didn't need to judge. merchan already stated that he intended to not really give him a sentence, that unconditional discharge, which means you have the conviction, but you have no jail time, you have no parole, you have no probation, you have no fine. you essentially get to walk home, unlike most other criminal defendants. >> and we're just wondering, because he mentions this at the beginning of his allocution, he says, although i have taken the unusual step in advance of telling you the sentence, i feel i need to tell you the reasoning for the sentence i am about to impose. how unusual of it of a step is it for the judge to in advance tell people about the sentence? >> not as unusual as he's making it out to be. there are many times where a judge will say, this is your promise sentence, but one of those things on a promise sentence is you have to go to the department of probation, even if you're not getting probation, to sort of

in ten days, donald trump will assume the presidency again. day's bulwark, quote, the current state of play is this first, trump has won the fights he had to win to evade accountability for his lawless actions as president. and after leaving the presidency. second, trump will now have a chance to further nominate a lot more judges in the mold of judge cannon and justice alito, and the republican senate will confirm them. third, in his next term, donald trump will have immunity for official acts very broadly understood. and because of his willingness to use the pardon power, many of his appointees will have something like de facto immunity from legal accountability. it was nice to see yesterday's minor victories for the rule of law. there will be some future victories, mostly minor ones as well. but we ought to face this fact. we cannot and should not count on the courts to save us an inflection point for the rule of law in the united states of america. as donald trump returns to the presidency. it's where we start the hour with some of our favo

but donald trump's pressure on israel as well as - is that a joke? l pressure on israel as well as hamas to seal the deal before his return to seal the deal before his return to the white house next week might have made a decisive difference. joe biden put the pan on the table last may. with guards in ruins, the point from the president that the palestinians have a path to their own state is wishful thinking. the israeli government says security depends on military power, not allowing palestinian independence. after 15 months of war in gaza, the conflict which has lasted more than a century is as bitter and intractable as ever. with luck, the ceasefire will end this war, but it does not end the conflict. consequences of so much destruction and death will be felt for a generation at least. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. the ceasefire begins on sunday — the day before the inauguration of donald trump. in fact, he was the first to speak publicly about the deal before it had been confirmed by qatar's prime minister, saying the hostages would be releas

history will show that today donald j. trumpe former and future president of these great united states, became the first american president to hold the title of convicted felon, the first american president, as the new york times reports, to, quote, carry that distinction into the white house. end quote. we are, of course, talking about the long delayed sentencing in donald trump's election interference case last spring. a jury of his peers unanimously found donald trump guilty of 34 felony counts. and this morning, in a brief but remarkable hearing, judge juan merchan imposed a sentence of so-called unconditional discharge. that means no jail time, no fine, but a sentence that formalizes a place in history for donald trump that no american president has ever gone before, that no american president has ever wanted before. convicted felon. for six weeks, while donald trump's trial was underway, there were no cameras in the courtroom. there was no audio equipment allowed in the courtroom for any of the proceedings. all that change

and she was saying, you know, i think donald trump "i think donald trump is the luckiest defendant i'veause none of the usual rules are going to apply. and that's essentially what the judge said here as well, isn't it, that because of the extraordinary circumstances of donald trump entering the white house again, that, you know, the sentencing would did not proceed as it would have had it been somebody else who was facing these charges and had been convicted on these charges. what i wonder is how we'll see the maga world then carry this forward. obviously, for donald trump, the fact that this was, as many legal scholars called it, a bit of a slap on the wrist in turns of sentencing. they see it as a vindication of the fact that they don't believe in donald trump's inner circle as well, that this was a case that should have been brought in the first place. i mean, he won't see this as him being a very lucky person at all, right. i mean, he won't see this as him being a very lucky person at all. he sees this. and we heard him when he addressed the court for the first time today, which was

things which mark zuckerberg is doing. >> you will give money, lots of it to donald trump. to the inauguration. and you will also create an environment that allows trump and maga and his allies lies and claims and half truths to more easily circulate. and it is really striking that in his speech, zuckerberg said that it's fact checking that created a lack of trust, which is very orwellian, because of course, it's disinformation. the purpose of disinformation is to break trust among people and turn them against each other and cause people to not know what to believe. and so they're more dependent on the leader. and maybe the only trust that was broken was, you know, trump's trust in zuckerberg when he was, you know, actually upholding authenticity and upholding objectivity through fact checking. and so now zuckerberg has moved to take that obstacle away to him being treated well by trump, which seems to be his main objective. >> angelo, i feel like so many of our conversations are around the non-reality and trump has done a good enough job at that to be reelected. why does m

donald trump is a convicted felon.nce of unconditional discharge, locked down in judge mershon, knew exactly what he was doing, and he did it. and donald trump, by the way, knew exactly what he was saying. and he said it. and by the way, speaking legally, this stuff, it's ridiculous. but he clearly knows what he's doing because he's going to become our 47th president. you know, notwithstanding, you know, one trial, you know, one catastrophe after another. but this is the way trump handles things. so it was totally to be expected. >> charles, just thinking of the times that we have all been on this table with different indictments being published and some speaking indictments and some not so speaking indictments of all of these. when you look back at this, what do you take away? >> i'm struck in this moment, thinking about this as an epilog to a very, very long journey with respect to this historic process of donald trump being indicted at the state level, being found liable in civil trials, being convicted of a felony,

, except donald trump outsmarted them. he didn't play a long, and he called for peace on january 6 instead of and he told people to protest peacefully. so they couldn't do that, that's what they want it, but they still use that to criminalize is his political movement called law. got so that's the game that's being played with lewis a little a play game back them us back to them. i ask and if i told the who it's with the issue back to mosque, i know what you were saying that most caved in there, but you, but he did allow us some sort of 1st amendment protection. although he has been centering a little. does that mean all of those networks in your country, the, the hollywood industrial complex, and they all gonna start to change and allow new voices of actual working class voices in america usually live in hollywood. i know you've been on tour. will we be able to hear the american working class on television and movies and fans are in poetry and books? oh yeah, no, that is a that is a big no. and this and now what they're g

his base tends to follow donald trump and donald trump alone. interesting. >> you know, kate cnn's kayla tausche, one of our correspondents writes this about the biden team's failing to cultivate elon musk as an ally. early in the biden administration. she writes this, and i'm quoting now, some have wondered whether their actions to exclude musk may have emboldened the entrepreneur to back trump and pour a quarter billion dollars into efforts to reelect him. you worked in the biden white house. was this a mistake? >> well, maybe. i mean, we've seen that musk has obviously put a lot of money and influence into helping donald trump. so perhaps you could argue it was a mistake not to more closely cultivate a relationship with him. but i also think it's it is an awful indictment of where we are in our country and actually sort of reinforces what biden was saying last night. if we're in a place where we are having to play to a billionaire's ego in order to make policy decisions, that should be those decisions should be made with americans all across

and i can tell you to this day, donald trump won the election. they were so loud that trump could hear them in the oval office that evening. trump opened the doors on this chilly january evening and started calling aides into his office. can you hear them outside, he'd ask. can you hear how excited they are i woke up that morning and, you know, there was a sense of real menace in washington, and there had been for a couple of days. >> there is a new republican party on the rise. >> we're coming for you, and we're going to have a good time doing it. >> this is the greatest group of patriots ever put together. >> what does giuliani do on january 6th? >> please welcome america's mayor, rudy giuliani, who takes the stage at the stop the steal rally on the ellipse just south of the white house. >> you can see the white house in the distance, and he fires up this crowd. >> this has been a year in which they have invaded our freedom of speech, our freedom of religion, our freedom to move, our freedom to live. i'll be darned if they're going to take away

and i think we saw this kind of row between donald trump and gavin newsom or gavin new—scum, as donald likes to call him, because we know he gives nicknames to everybody. and that was a lot harsher, i feel earlier in the week. you know, when we didn't know and how the scale of this fire, so many fires and how difficult it would be to get a handle on them. i feel like that rhetoric has kind of been toned down a little bit as the week has gone on. yes, there's been disinformation and as we have seen with previous natural disasters, and actuallyjust in the last hour or so, i got this letter from not sent to me, of course, but gavin newsom has sent it to president elect donald trump, very, you know, very nicely worded and kind of reminding him of how they toured california with those terrible wildfires in 2018 and inviting him to come back. and, you know, he signed it with respect and an open hand. "let's work on this together." let's do this together, because, i mean, it serves no one's interests to have them at each other�*s necks. well, certainly the people of california, i mean, gavin

last year, donald trump -- actually, earlier, yeah, last year donald trump said that the sentencing needed to happen after the election. and the judge went along with that. but now trump was saying that the sentencing should wait either four years until his administration is over or never happen. apparently, for at least six members of the supreme court that was a bridge too far. >> i am shocked that john roberts -- i will be honest. one of his appointees, amy coney barrett, went along with the liberals on the court. alito was just chatting with trump on the phone about a job for a former clerk. john roberts strikes me as protecting donald trump, his feelings, his ability to act bold boldly as he said in his idruling that donald trump has absolute community and he can commit any crime he wants. i am shocked. i just assumed john roberts is there to protect trump at all costs. >> roi think that's absolutely right. there is a tension between roberts' fealty to donald trump and his fealty to the legitimacy of the court. >> 100%. what i want to talk to you about is we have covered a lot of crim

i warned the american people about donald trump's conduct. jurors that indicted mr. trump for his conduct and sought accountability. but i also agree with jack smith's conclusion from his report that ultimately it was it was the american people, those that voted for trump who were responsible for denying justice. for those of us that were victimized by his criminal conduct. >> what do you think it is about the insurrection? something that happened on live tv, something that by the end looked like a tailgate. his supporters stayed out on the steps of the u.s. capitol for hours. what do you think it is about that day that is even a candidate to be whitewashed in the minds of donald trump's base of voters? >> i mean, i, i think it speaks to who we are as a, as americans at this point in the game. i believe that, you know, most americans see january 6th for what it was or what it is. >> they just don't care. it didn't affect them directly. >> and so in an act of self-centeredness and cowardice, they continue to support donald trump. i think those

would he have had the decorum and the civility to extend a hand to donald trump? i think he would have. and i'm not letting trump off the hook either. i'm blaming all of them. you know, it always bothered me. obviously, january 6th bothered me, but it bothered me that donald trump left washington without the decency of going to joe biden's inauguration. i mean, there are moments in time when you've got to put it all aside and for the good of the nation, just play the role. and most of them played the role yesterday. >> yeah, i think that that's my big picture question here, michael, because i mean, you know, i've covered enough of these types of events now in washington. and, you know, the first presidential funeral i covered was gerald ford's, which was in the early days of 2007, after he passed over the christmas time in 2006. and we always do remark on how these people are rivals in political life. they run against each other, but they do set it down for good reason. in these kinds of moments. i think what made this one so different for me is, and again, you can

uh, what donald trump talked about. his meeting with the head of the yellow and how much he got along. and he always thought that the po low is going to be the impediment to a peace deal. and then he had a meeting with the benjamin netanyahu. and in 3 minutes he realized that the impediment wasn't the po, low, or the palestinians. but the impediment was benjamin netanyahu, who doesn't want a deal. and so he's been the, i even have a video, an audio tape of him saying a s, benjamin netanyahu, brad's president, trump saying that? so i think, you know, you know, trump did the, the abraham accords and his whole thing, as i was saying before, the break is that he, what he's not a war monger. you know, he might be corrupt donald trump, but the way i put it, or i've heard other people put it, is that he's, he's new york city real estate corrupt he's not neil con, war mongering, killed people for money corrupt. and so that's why he's added that he had an aversion to starting a new war and his 1st administration, he likes to fin

are you going to put donald trump first? think that's the real core question here, especially if we talk about potential deployment of u.s. troops on u.s. soil, whether or not trump will use them to to tackle the migrant crisis. we're going to face some very real. >> there was a point. i don't want to cut you off, but there was a point. i got to get to this. there was where he was asked whether he'd follow certain controversial laws. and our time is limited. but i want to play for you and the audience. what he had to say about this exchange. listen. >> would you carry out an order from president trump to seize greenland, a territory of our nato ally denmark, by force? or would you comply with an order to take over the panama canal? >> senator, i will emphasize that president trump received 77 million votes to be the lawful commander. we're not talking about the election. >> there was another instance when he was asked about whether he would follow an unconstitutional order as well, and he skirted the issue, many believed. do

we have to re-- donald trump. to remind ourselves this is a person who when he was running for president in 2020 the said he was probably going to be transitional, that he would be a bridge to future generations suggesting that he was going if to be a one-term president, that he would open the democratic primary to a competitive primary and that he would not run again. instead the he held on. his legacy is going to be his final year in which he was seen to be clearly be in cognitive decline and yet wouldn't give up the presidency until mid-summer, force his vice president, kamala harris, to throw together this campaign and get beaten soundly by donald trump. the iron irony, really quite a pathetic, is biden now thinking he could have beaten donald trump. paul, he would have lost by more than kamala harris. paul: kim, what do you think about the president's expressed regrets? for example, in an interview he said, well, i wish i would have put my name on those stimulus checks and, jeez, i wish the media landscape ha

as long as she's still in the asgood graces of donald trump a, look, she really stood out. i think the aileen cannon model is something to really be mindful of as we look into trump 2.0 as i think he can outsource a lot of the judge decisions to the conservative legal world, leonard leo and that crowd. i don't know that's going to be the case this time. i think he's going to look for more people like aileen cannon who he thinks are going to be truly loyal to him and there were multiple times including this one, she advanced really preposterous rulings. in this case, like, there were elements of this, things she was trying to suppress that weren't even under her purview. and so, like, the notion that this random judge is going to be able to do this favor for donald trump is crazy in the first place. nice to get that overturned. i hope the attorney general does the right thing and we publicize the jack smith report and as melissa mentioned also, i think the information about the investigation into the mar-a-lago raid and the rclassified documents case. >> melissa murray, thank

to have ceo level relationships that that could prevent him from targeting companies and that donald trumpion often really rose or fell based on whether he liked the company personally. if you are a ceo of a tech company or any company you would rather start off a second trump term with a positive relationship. there are many tech stories that will have to be taking a stance on. what think his views are on tiktok or the potential break—up of google? one of the things you see with donald trump when he talks about tech it is usually through the lens of, is this service nice to me? i think it is a mistake to interpret ideology when it may be ego. when he spoke about google during the campaign he was asked about breaking up google and immediately the way that he talked about it was the way that he showed up in google search results, when he talks about tiktok he talks about his campaign content performing well on tiktok. and now that company executives know this when they go to meet with him they show him this data and show him this is how well your content performed on our service. that is re

while european leaders are warning us president elect donald trump not to invade other countries after he returns to office later this month. trump has said he wants the us to take control of canada, greenland, and the panama canal. he also announced that he would be changing the name of the gulf of mexico. donald trump has yet to take colors at the white house, but really he's switching his sites much further to we're going to be changing the name of the gulf of mexico to the gulf of america, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. the gulf of america, what a beautiful name and its appropriate its appropriate board started from statement did not come with any explanation about how or why he planned to change the name. it's just the latest in a string of claims he's made about us expansionism. in addition to the gulf of mexico, he's also state as sites on the panama canal, claiming to us will take control of the crucial shipping lane. canada is also on trump's wish list. he wants to absorb the know the neighbor and green light and the resource rich and danish territo

donald trump is telling a very different story than his own most trusted advisers about what exactly is happening behind the scenes in this transition. now, if you believe trump's people, the transition is going very well. susie wiles, the incoming chief of staff, says that jeff sessions, the outgoing chief of staff, has been very helpful. trump's incoming middle east envoy offered up a very similar story. >> we're just very collaborative together. >> we're i mean, this is a tense. negotiation, so no one has pride of authorship. >> we are totally outcome oriented. >> he's got a solid team, and i and i appreciate it that they are allowing us to be collaborative. >> but the president elect himself suggests that the transition is a disaster, and he is none too pleased with the current president. >> we are inheriting a difficult situation from the outgoing administration, and they're trying everything they can to make it more difficult. and i've been disappointed to see the biden administration's attempt to block the reforms of the american people, and that they voted for president biden'

i sat there under donald trump.e had infrastructure weeks, infrastructure month, infrastructure barbecue but never had at infrastructure bill. joe biden sent it to us his first week in office we passed it in the first month a $1.2 trillion investment in the roads , the highways, bridges, ports, airports, rail, trail, cyber security, rural broadband you name it. it really set the tempo by an administration that had huge breakthroughs like with the chips and science act in the semiconductor industry, the inflation reduction act which was not only the most massive investment in climate action in world history but also dramatically reduced prescription drug prices in the country. i can see that it had a terrible name because he didn't capture everything that was going on. [laughter] but look, joe biden and kamala harris oversaw huge growth in the economy, more than 16 million new jobs created, the lowest unemployment in the last 50 years in our history. and so, i would rank them up there with the best in the 20th centur

but the supreme court justice got on the phone with donald trump and asked him for the favor of hiringat trump was going to hire him with or without the call. the call accomplished nothing in that direction. it was purely donald trump's attempt to make alito indebted to him by hiring his former law clerk after alito asked him to do that. alito should have never participated in such a phone call but if he was going to do it, he could have done it next week. easily. there is no hiring deadline for any job in the trump administration. it is impossible for donald trump to hire anyone before january 20th. justice alito's statement said we did not discuss the emergency application he filed today and indeed, i was not even e at the time of our conversation that such an application would be filed. we also did not discuss any other pending matter. he knows donald trump will take any legal steps possible to try to block jack smith's report. and samuel alito knows it is possible those attempts could end up in the supreme court. alito has never had a telephone conversation with a more active litig

donald trump and only donald trump, that's all. >> hope that's the deal sticks. i mean, you know, the families are on pins and needles tonight and they will be until their loved ones are home. everyone hold on for us. coming up next, the question is, will trump's pick for attorney general actually seek retribution? see what happens when democratic senators grilled pam bondi on capitol hill? >> kobe the making of a legend premieres january 25th on cnn. >> t-mobile's 5g network connects 100,000 delta employees so they can make every customer feel like they've arrived before they've left the ground. this is how business goes further with t-mobile. for business. >> what do you got there, larry? >> time machine. >> you're going to go back and see how the pyramids were built or something? >> nope. elon and i want to go on vacation, so i'm going to go back to last week and buy a winning lottery ticket. >> can i come? >> only room for one. >> how am i getting home? >> sitting on my lap like last time? >> ronald? fine. but i'm bringing this. all right. >> or you could try

guest: i don't want to talk about project 2025 and donald trump, project 2025 and i assume everyone knowsinvolved a hundred people putting together recommendations for an incoming administration to consider and that was made before trump came in and the democrats featured it in those. the heritage foundation put together a similar look before every presidential election but first whatever reason this volume attracted a lot of attention. when joe biden came into office, he said we are not going to engage in retaliation or go after political enemies and we will have a return to normalcy. anything but that happened. and it is not only of course a danger in terms of somebody being wrongfully convicted or singled out for prosecution because of who they are not what they did, but i also feel there is a real danger. presidents do things that are going to do things that are very popular in the states that voted for him and unpopular in the states that didn't vote for him. it is very easy if someone comes to a state criminal code to find a violation of law that would argue and be attached to somet
