we are not talking about doug burgum and the department of interior, who is clearly qualified, competent, and will sail through. we are talking about some of the nominees, not all, but some of them, who are so unqualified, so dangerous, so incompetent, that it will jeopardize our government. it will not only jeopardize our government internally and what happens here domestically, but it will seriously jeopardize our national security. and, when you see people like pete hegseth or kash patel, who has been recommended for the fbi, or tulsi gabbard for heading the department of national intelligence, the director of national intelligence. this is very dangerous for our national security, and for our democracy. and it's clear donald trump can nominate, and qualified candidates, and they are saying come on, why don't you put up qualified candidates? we know you can do it, you have read let's get rid of these unhinged, dangerous, incompetent and qualified nominees. >> you just mentioned kash patel, a staffer on the house select intelligence committee, that worked in the white house. i want to

with trump it seems more that the idea, and this really stems from something doug burgum said recently, but it extends to every sector. he would rather innovate than regulate. and that gives the new tonality to the trump administration. i think it's a good thing. i think america's always innovated its way out of trouble. we don't need to regulate ourselves into it. we don't want to diminish our competition. peter: and as we see these ceos, i spend a lot of time in west palm beach these days just watching these motorcades go across the causeway, how would you rate the level of jealousy that these ceos have of elon are musk? >> -- elon musk? >> well, musk brings something to the table that many of them don't have. they're all, they've all been very successful. but elon musk is an extraordinary individual when it comes to executional skills. so when you hear him say he's going to implement cost savings in government, it's hard to find a place where he hasn't chosen a mandate and been successful at it. is i'm very interested in hearing what his recommendations would be about cutting costs.

which is the logical thing to do and i think what you'll see is the president's nominee and others doug burgumsue as they come into office on january 20. david: by the way we should mention that concerning wind energy, c which a lot of green folks have been saying that's the solution. in 2023 correct me if i'm wrong, we had more windmills up and we got fewer energy as a whole from the windmill production of energy. correct? >> that's correct because the energy source, wind and solar, they just aren't dense forms of energy. they are unlike nuclear power, which has a 90% capacity factor so you won't get as much energy as you would from other sources. david: by the way nuclear energy, would that if people are absolutely adimate against any fossil fuels including natural gas would nuclear be enough to fill the void with the energy we need? >> no question not only fill the void but exceed the void. it's perhaps the most dense form of energy that we know of here on earth and it's clean and it's available so we should pursue it. david: all right i want to switch to ev mandates we only have about 30 s

we are not talking about doug burgum in the department of interior, who is clearly qualified, competent, and will sail through. we are talking about some of the nominees -- not all, but some of them -- you are so unqualified, so dangerous, so incompetent, that it will jeopardize our government. it will not only jeopardize our government internally and what happens here, domestically, but it will seriously jeopardize our national security. and when you see people like pete hegseth, or kash patel -- who has been recommended for the fbi -- work -- or toasty gabbard heading the department of national intelligence, the director of national intelligence, this is very dangerous for our national security and for our democracy, and it is clear donald trump can nominate qualified candidates. so, i think that senate republicans are correctly saying, "come on. why don't you put up qualified candidates? there are plenty of them. we know you can do it. you have done it. let's get rid of these unhinged, dangerous, incompetent, and unqualified nominees." >> you just mentioned kash patel, who is a staff

we have some reporting where doug burgum, who's very close to a bunch of oil ceos and he's the nomineecretary, when he saw that while with his team, he privately acknowledged that he was really impressed with that decision. and i think -- in that announcement. but there are still questions as to whether trump is going to be able to move ahead with this and enact such a change to the approval process, particularly around land grants and around oil and energy regulations surrounding those types of decisions. geoff: yes, advocacy groups see this as making an end run around environmental protections. brian schwartz of the wall street journal, thanks so much for being with us. brian: thank you. geoff: trump's cabinet pigs have been meeting with senators on capitol hill and his team has been preparing the agenda. we turn to amy walter and tamara keith. good to see you both. mr. trump's nominees have been on capitol hill trying to woo senators. and president-elect donald trump was in mar-a-lago and he said he believes rfk junior, if confirmed, will be less radical then you would think. bring

right and doug burgum is the interior and i merged both them. you know the energy had no energy.st had the right to do energy and interior had all the energy, but it didn't have the right to drill. so i merged them and they're great friends. they're both very talented people we're going to have so much oil and gas and other things you won't know what to do with it. you said please, president trump, stop. we have too much. the prices are going to low, sir. remember, we were a dollar 80 for a gallon of gas. wouldn't that be nice. i will direct every cabinet sector to cut ten old regulations. every new regulation which i did last time. we'll be getting rid of a lot of last time. last for me. we had. we did something special. cut more regulations by four times than any other president in history. and we're going to top that record some of those ridiculous regulations were immediately put back and they were just hurting our country. that's why had the best job numbers ever because of what we did with regulation. you know, we cut taxes more than any president in history and we cut regu

from linda mcmahon, and howard lutnick, to doug burgum, steven feinberg, jared isaacman, and kelly loeffleronaires on the official cabinet will have a combined net worth of over $13 billion. now that is not including, of course, elon musk, or trump's new billionaire ambassadors. the centi-millionaires, and possible billionaires, depending how you count your wealth, includes scott bessent, dr. oz and chris wright. one thing i guarantee none of those people ever had to buy their own [ bleep ] groceries. [ light laughter ] they are probably the only people in the world who do believe trump invented the word. "you mean those stores that sell all of that loose food? [ light laughter ] i thought those were just poorly lit restaurants." hey, i'm not surprised donald trump is picking billionaires. i'm just surprised that if you are a billionaire, you would say yes to spending the next four years getting yelled at by a fake garbage man. i mean what all in exchange for a tax break that you will never even notice. if i was a billionaire, you know what i would do? nothing. [ light laughter ] i mean, i

so north dakota was the most affordable state in the country and doug burgum is like, absolutely.ng that if they go places, they might have a better quality of life and they are creating communities and nontraditional zones where they did not grow up. that are willing to welcome them. but not their lefty, loony california politics. >> to piggyback on what kennedy sank actually at her eye was number three on the list. and i found that very odd. so i was looking into that, why is idaho so unaffordable right now? it is because of migration. people have been moving there because it just has a better way of life and, you know, there are a lot of positives, it answer the problem is overwhelming it is just unaffordable in our country. yes, look at the blue states and the property taxes. i live in new jersey in a property tax coming from ari arizona, like, you can't even compare. it is almost embarrassing. and anybody who is able to move out of these blue states during covid certainly did. unfortunately, when have a job that keeps you in one location and he can be remote full time, you kn

former north dakota governor doug burgum is the president is x picked to head the interior

other than marco rubio, and doug burgum, they'll get plenty of votes, but the others, they'll have tocans, and yeah. this whole point of advice and consent, you heard from senator rounds, the republican senators weren't asked for the advice, they didn't give it and didn't give the consent at least on matt gaetz. that did crack the door open to others potentially going down, and maybe trump is okay with that. maybe he's fine with setting this aside, because to sarah's point, just because you can consider someone not to be consequential doesn't mean they wouldn't have a significant impact on the job. they have to stand up and take these votes at some point, and that's going to tell us what governing in the trump era is like, because he has the numbers to get trump's people in there if they choose. we don't know if they're going to make that choice. >> that is correct. >> jonathan: i haven't heard much talk of the recess appointments, of forcing congress to go into recess and bypassing senate confirmation at all. does trump still feel that's an option? >> definitely toying with the idea,

joining me now, republican strategist and former spokesperson for governor doug burgum's, presidential campaign lance trover. lance good to see you. how are you? >> i'm great. good to see you. >> good. i want to talk first. i want to go back to where we started, which is talking about the fbi kash patel. we have heard a lot of talk from republicans. we saw a clip from one of the sunday shows. this morning about just today about the need for reform at the fbi, that the fbi needs to be reformed and cleaned out. what do you think that actually look like looks like what should people expect? >> yeah look, i think the vast majority of fbi men and women agents out there are in it for the right reasons. they go out there to keep america safe, to put the bad guys in jail. and my guess is, if you talk to many of them, they're completely fine with the top brass of the fbi being reformed. i think there's a big want for reform, both in the government and also from the american public. and so, look, i think you've got thousands and thousands of people sitting here in the j. edgar hoover building he

harris and lance trover, former spokesperson for doug burgum's presidential campaign. welcome to you all. we have a full house. i love it here and i'm excited about this topic. stephen, let's start with you. what do we make of this online argument breaking out into the open between trump's base and these silicon valley types like musk and ramaswamy? >> i think it's a pretty fascinating glimpse at the fissures in this rather unique coalition that trump put together in the election. on the one hand, you have the new edition of silicon valley pioneers and businessmen, billionaires, many of them. and then you have that stretching across right to the traditional trump working class, grassroots maga base. and that's something the president elect is going to have to deal with during his administration. i think that there is a need for a discussion about whether the u.s. education system is turning out enough science and technology graduates that can filter into the silicon valley industries. i just think that the way that ramaswamy approached it was not very artful, and it do

you were a spokesman for governor doug burgum presidential campaign. what do you make of this? i mean, this after the election thing is, is honest, not necessarily the same tone we heard during the campaign to donald trump to be nothing but honest right out there. >> look, i look at the polling that's come out cnn had yesterday, i think the voters are giving him a wide stretch of latitude here in terms of what he's willing to do. and i think, look, i think he's trump says a lot of things. but we've got the tax cuts package coming. >> he's got to address the border. >> i think he's going to tackle a lot of these things. >> and my guess is prices will come down. >> why do you think they're going to come down? >> i just look i think the economy is continuing to improve. it's improving. now before he gets into office, we're going to have a tax cut package that's going to drive more money into the economy, and people are going to. >> although in his interview with kristen welker, when she said on nbc, well, what about if your tariffs don't bring prices down? and he said, well, that

look, marco rubio doug burgum, there are a number of nominees who are qualified. and i certainly if i were over in the senate, i would have no problem voting for them. but it just goes to show that donald trump knows how to pick good, qualified nominees. and so it becomes very intentional when he picks dangerous, unqualified nominees who are whose only qualification is that they are sycophants for donald trump and that they will do his political bidding. >> they're all going to be, you know, getting those confirmation hearings right after he's inaugurated. are you going to go to the inauguration? >> i don't know. i would be happy to go to it. i think i have a lot of respect for the office of the presidency. um, donald trump, whether we like it or not, is the president. and i think what we have to do, as hakeem jeffries always says, is where we can find common ground and help the american people and help working americans. we will do that because we are there to try to deliver for the people where he goes rogue and tries to undermine our democracy or undermine the

openly and part of the reason that he admires so many people in his orbit, particularly think about doug burgum. his wife, for example, is because she is a recovering addict. that's something that he believes is something that should be cherished. if you are recovering, that is something that's going to play into this, particularly as he watches that closely. >> yeah, that's a good point. kristen holmes, thank you for that and as we were talking about the background checks aspect of this, my inside source tonight is andrew mccabe, who served as the deputy director at the fbi. and obviously as we talk about what this looks like now that they have signed this agreement with the justice department, which means the fbi will be able to conduct background checks now can you just walk us through how that process works? how how exhaustive an fbi background check is? >> it is a massive process. caitlin. and it's a little bit different depending on the client that you're serving. in this case, it's obviously the incoming white house. the president elect's transition team. but it is it is absolutely thoro

when you look at john thune's new position, as well as the fact that you have kristi noem and doug burgum getting positions, but i did go with florida. shannon, partially in honor of you. i know, i know, you appreciate the florida the florida love here, but no, but really, when you look at the people that he's been picking, you've got siouxsie wiles as white house chief of staff, marco rubio, the florida senator, as secretary of state, his incoming national security adviser, michael waltz, is also from florida. you also have brian mast, who's now going to be the chair of the house foreign affairs committee. so a lot of florida politicians. don't forget matt gaetz under under donald trump. well, actually we did forget pam bondi. pam bondi who's been picked for attorney general. so lots of love for florida and the incoming trump administration. and then as the loser not to be too trite as well, stephanie, i picked kamala harris cover, the white house, cover the harris campaign. she not because she lost the election, per se, but she was handed a losing campaign. she had three months to try a

jennifer horn, cofunder of the lincoln project, republican strike ateg a former spokesperson for doug burgum'sreport that just came out on gaetz that ryan was reporting on for us. >> well, that is horrific. any parent who has or has raised a daughter, thinking about her as a teenager in high school, being in the circumstances that this report outlines has to be horrified today. but what's worse is matt gaetz himself, the behavior in which he has engaged disqualifies him in my opinion from any sort of public service whatsoever. i agree that this report had to come out. it is not the first time that the house ethics committee has released a report after someone has left congress. there's nothing about this that suggests they are just going after matt gaetz personally, and i think, frankly, it's the american people have a right to know this, but more importantly, the people of florida have a right and need to know this. especially when he's out there talking about running for -- possibly running for senate again. and i'll finish this thought just by saying, we should not expect that the republica

right and doug burgum is the interior and i merged both them. you know the energy had no energy. it just had the right to do energy and interior had all the energy, but it didn't have the right to drill. so i merged them and they're great friends. they're both very talented people we're going to have so much oil and gas and other things you won't know what to do with it. you said please, president trump, stop. we have too much. the prices are going to low, sir. remember, we were a dollar 80 for a gallon of gas. wouldn't that be nice. i will direct every cabinet sector to cut ten old regulations. every new regulation which i did last time. we'll be getting rid of a lot of last time. last for me. we had. we did something special. cut more regulations by four times than any other president in history. and we're going to top that record some of those ridiculous regulations were immediately put back and they were just hurting our country. that's why had the best job numbers ever because of what we did with regulation. you know, we cut taxes more than any president in history and we cu
