it may feel like -- about 700 to and edwards noted -- about 702 and edward snowden. folks serve our country every day, they do not have a uniform on, people do not buy them lunch because people do not know who they are. they worked very hard to protect americans. when edward snowden got mad at his employer that he did not get the promotion he wanted and started harvesting information and found things he did not like on it and then kept going and then released them to media and went to china and then went from china to russia and became a russian citizen and continued to be able to layer out intelligence unrelated to the civil liberties of any american, and then said i have more and i can release them anytime i want -- they do not see him as brave. they see him as a traitor. the concern among so many here, and i think what a lot of folks in the intelligence community that you would have the responsibility for oversight, they want to hear you also believe the same thing. not just he broke the law, but that he is a traitor. they do not want that to ever happen again. al

this is gabbard repeatedly sidestepping questions on edward snowden. >> do you still. >> think edwardn edward snowden broke the law. i do. >> not agree with. >> or support with all of the information and. >> intelligence that he released. >> nor the way. >> in which he did it. >> was he a traitor. >> at the. >> time when. >> he took america's secrets. released them. >> in. >> public. >> and then ran to china and became a russian citizen? >> senator, i'm focused. on the future and how we can prevent something like this from happening again. >> yes or no? is edward snowden a traitor to the united states. >> of america? >> as someone. >> who has. worn our. uniform in. >> combat. >> i understand how critical. our national security. >> apparently you don't. >> well. >> y'all just. >> let that. >> a lot of. just let that sit in for you. you can't answer that question. i mean, it was so directly placed. i mean. >> and i guess the reason it's an important question to the people on the dais is because it's an important question to the people with whom she will lead. why does this matter so muc

todd young and james langford, who pressed her to say that edward snowden was a traitor. langford said it was a softball. listen to what happened. >> did he betray a duty, did he betray the trust of the american people? which is according to mariam webster, that's the definition of a traitor. >> edward snowden broke the law and released this information in a way he should not have. >> was he a traitor when he took america's secrets, released them in public and ran to china and became a russian citizen? >> senator, i'm focused on the future and how we can prevent something like this happening again. >> you work closely with these senators. i know the republicans and you are from a different party, but when you speak to them privately do you think they can get over that, her refusal to call him a traitor and actually vote to confirm her? move her out of committee? >> listen, margaret, edward snowden released more information probably did as much damage to our intelligence community as anyone in history. and the fact that miss gabbard, who actually had legislation to pardon

was edward. >> snowden a traitor?nator, my heart is with my commitment to our constitution and our nation's security. >> was he a traitor at the time when he took america's secrets, released him in public, and then ran to china. >> and became. >> a russian citizen? >> senator, i'm focused on the future and how we can prevent something like this from happening again. >> so farnoosh does gabbard have the votes right now to become the director of national intelligence? >> yeah, i mean. >> she is one of the few nominees that went in with more support and left with less. i mean, it is really stunning. you saw the clips you just played republican and democrats were trying to help her make clearer where she stands on this issue, which is obviously very important to members of congress. obviously, a very controversial issue. but she continuously refused to say the words that edward snowden is a traitor, and she left with many more republicans who obviously, you know, democrats would be. in addition, if she gets those, that's

and the case of edward snowden in tulsi gabbard. think the maga movement will decide, but it's donald trump who will decide how much capital he wants to spend and how much pressure he wants to put on republican senators to get tulsi gabbard over the finish line. >> george: have we seen any sense yet that republicans on the committee don't want to go along? how overt does the president have to be? >> he'll have to be pretty overt. you mentioned hegseth. in that case, thom tillis indicated he was troubled -- he was a possible no vote. donald trump got on the phone with him for two hours and he relented and that's the kind of pressure that trump alone can bring, and we'll see if he does that in these cases. >> george: you believe gabbard is in more trouble? >> i think she's in trouble because of questions like that snowden question. a fairly straight forward question that is shared bipartisan -- views are that snowden has been a traitor. she had another moment when she said she wouldn't seek to pardon -- from president trump and that s

edward snowden broke the law. i do not agree with or support with all of the information and intelligence that he released, nor the way in which he did it. >> i do believe that autism does come from vaccines. >> will you reassure. >> mothers unequivocally and without. >> qualification. >> that the measles and hepatitis b. >> vaccines do not. >> cause autism? >> if the data is there, i will absolutely do that. >> all right. my panel is back. a confirmation conversion is really nothing new. it's happened time and time and again. but it has been pretty remarkable this time around. we saw pete hegseth do the same thing in his confirmation hearings about women in combat. he was very clear a month before he was nominated. he thought it was a bad idea for women to be in combat, but then changed his tune before the senate. before the senate during his testimony. how do we. but it's very clear two people are in trouble right now rfk jr.. and tulsi gabbard, can they get the votes to be confirmed? >> i think both of those no

why stick your neck out for edward snowden?. >> she really got. >> caught in a box. >> in her. >> hearing, because the expectation going in was that she was going to be grilled by democrats on, on assad and her. >> kind of. >> closeness with the russians and, and her various foreign trips. >> but then the committee. >> ended up. >> coalescing on a. >> really. bipartisan issue of. of snowden. and this. caused real problems for her. >> i think part. >> of the. >> reason why the. >> committee focused on. snowden as. >> an issue was because it was a. >> convenient way. >> to get at. >> the lack of. >> national security. experience across the intelligence community that that she. that she. >> doesn't have. and so there was this. sense that. we would that the committee would focus on that issue as to why she responded. >> in the way. >> that. she did. it's. >> not clear. >> and we don't. >> have reporting. >> to suggest. >> that she was doing that because trump had. >> told her to or that there was. >> particular loyalty issues. >> b

[playing video] [applause] first of all, big shout out to comma tail and edward tam and the team and now we are i will make this announcement later but an aadditional member joining make us more robust in communication and messaging to the community. so looking forward to that. so, it it is amazing we were able to fit a year in less than a minute. so -- just a big thank you to our comand program staff who worked put that video together. to start with the report i like to share a few highlights from events. on december second i attended the dance magazine awards with denise pate our community investment's director. and i attended the awasheds in the art's center. along with the director [inaudible] and support of the 2020 artistic grant. honored one of 5 dance mag azeb award honorees awards. that was like a lifelong dreamful an idle of mine since a kid taking ballet dance company. and i took tap, jazz, ballet, modern and african. it was fun and i he was an inspiration he and ben vereen were dance inspirations for me. that was great. on december 11, we held our holiday celebration and

i think that's that was the case with senator lankford on edward snowden. and i think that was also the case with senator cassidy on rfk jr.. s previous statements about the link between autism and vaccines, you know, there was one point where, um, rfk jr. said that he was willing to change his mind if wrong, but he did not state, you know, after giving several opportunities directly that there was no link between autism and vaccines. and that's what senator cassidy is grappling with. >> yeah. and, stephen, rfk jr.'s, you know, vote in the senate finance committee really does hinge on that exchange with senator bill cassidy, who is, by the way, also a doctor. he had some pointed questions about vaccines during the hearing last week, among other things. do you think kennedy, um, managed himself well with cassidy? and if he didn't, is that an indicator that, you know, cassidy is going to be a no vote? >> well, i don't think he managed himself well with cassidy. like sophia said, there were some sort of pointed interactions that i think kennedy, uh, you know,

. >> is edward. >> snowden a traitor. >> to the united. >> states of america?tical our. >> national security. >> apparently you don't. >> if the best attacks on me are going to be false accusations and grotesque. >> mischaracterizations. >> the only thing this body is doing is defeating the credibility of the men and women at the fbi. >> back with me. my team, don calloway, susan del percio, and david jolly. give me a sense. we're going to go around the horn. which of these candidates do you think is most in trouble with gabbard, kennedy and patel? i'll let you go first, don. >> i think that all three of them are. insignificant trouble because they all made one fatal mistake. neither one of them realized that they built up their name, id, and presence to get in front of the president's eyes by going on these right wing podcasts and saying the most crazy things. well, they're going to have to be held to account for those things in front of the united states senate like they were last year. and you saw some severe republican dissent. i was very proud of senator b

now, edward snowden is a former national security agency contractor who, back in 2013, had revealed the existence of a bulk collection of american phone records by the nsa before fleeing to russia. now we know that gabbard has said previously that she believed snowden should not face any sort of prosecution back in the united states, but she wasn't very clear when asked directly by lawmakers if she believed that still to be the case, or whether snowden was a traitor to the united states. now, i was also told that gabbard, since that confirmation hearing, it took place on thursday, has been meeting behind closed doors with senators, mainly republican senators, trying to assuage some of their concerns. one white house official told me that they believe that those sessions went well, and that she has been able to kind of ease some of the concerns and anxieties that people have about her confirmation process. but again, it's going to, you know, we still have to see whether or not they can get out of confirmation and be voted out of their different committees to the full senate floor. now, o

you know, when you're asked, do you think edward. >> snowden is. >> a traitor?d. >> snowden is. >> a traitor, or i. >> would. >> have said so. >> and i. think that. >> again. >> you know, i. >> don't think. >> donald trump or. >> anybody in the administration. >> really cares. >> about that. >> they care that she's going to go. >> in there and. >> you know, as they're hoping with other. >> nominees that. >> she's going to induce. >> chaos, paralyze these. >> institutions and make them subservient, subservient to donald trump. >> well, in the meantime, the rest of us better care about it because it's our country and our because it's our country and our safety that still have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis... ...or crohn's disease symptoms after taking... ...a medication like humira or remicade? put them in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when symptoms tried to take control, i got rapid relief with rinvoq. check. when flares tried to slow me down,... ...i got lasting remission with rinvoq. check. and many were in remission... ...even at nearly 2 years

i don't think edward snowden is a traitor, or i would have said so. or anybody in the administration really cares about that. they care that she's going to go in there and, you know, as they're hoping with other nominees that she's going to induce chaos, paralyze these institutions and make them some servant subservient to donald trump. >> well, in the meantime, the rest of us better care about it because it's our country and our safety that is at risk here. tom, thanks as always, tom nichols. we'll be right back. >> work, play. blink. >> relief. >> work. play. blink. relief. the only three and one extended relief formula for dry eyes. blink. safelite repair. >> perfecting your swing is hard. >> nice shot. dad. oh. so flat. replace. >> but replacing your windshield >> but replacing your windshield doesn't have to be. go still have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis... ...or crohn's disease symptoms after taking... ...a medication like humira or remicade? put them in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when symptoms tried to take control, i got ra

senators have indicated they feel she did not directly answer a fairly softball question on whether edwarded national security when he stole government secrets, leaked them, and then fled to russia. >> maurice: and then, margaret, there was that big about-face on freezing federal funding this week. how much does that complicate things? >> reporter: it did complicate them because that confusing back and forth with the office of management and budget, omb, that directive that temporarily paused funding, it was an unforced error that has complicated the confirmation of the new budget director, russ vought. a hill source told me it was sloppy, clumsy, poorly thought out, and didn't have a good reception among fellow republicans. keep in mind, republicans have the senate majority. they don't need a single democratic vote to confirm nominees. they just have t stay united. >> john: okay. margaret brennan in washington, thank you so much, margaret. and a reminder to join margaret this sunday for "face the nation." >> maurice: in southern california, cal fire reports the palisades and eaton fires b

edward everett made the speech around the circuit talking about the farewell address.and he, of course, becomes the vice presidential nominee for the constitutional union party. he also becomes a huge close friend to an pamela cunningham sometimes signing his letters with poppa. and she not her dad, but so he would end up raising hundreds of thousands and thousands of dollars for the mount vernon ladies association. so this is not necessarily a new thing, but they start to in get the mount vernon ladies association to do this unionist work for them. they see washington as a mecca. it's a holy site worthy of pilgrimage. they say that this is the patriarch of our liberties who quote more than any earthly being enabled, the nation's happiness and aggrandizement. so by visiting mount vernon, especially on the eve of disunion, that is to remember that they all have the same quote, father. therefore, if the estate could be preserved because it was not in good shape in the 1850s, before, and pamela cunningham and the specifically virginian members of the mount vernon, ladies

what i mean, you guys have with edwards claims to be in your possession. a cheat was intended to be a model. the plan was to use it as a template to set up several more camps in germany. a special textbook was published detailing the protocol, how to develop the civilian population, how to infect defenseless people with typhus, and how to use children as a shield against soviet troops literally. and then there's another one at any above 30 terms of providing liberty never given what people know on the left. just give me a place to peak. i mean, i like gives me a super midnights of them is the most in your medical practice. i'm not him, you mean? yes. so given the edition in your specific, when the girl paragraph could get the price, i didn't find these can follow the don't. did you see to nature? i like it. it was added to that artist and nobody to the prisoners themselves. remained silent, being in the camp just once could lead to a prison sentence in the late 19 forties and early fifties, former press and as we can see it in fate as to that homeland. doe

edwards, as energy was intended to be a model, the plan was to use it as a template to set up several more camps in gym and a special textbook was published detailing the protocol, how to develop the civilian population. how to infects defense, those people with typhus and how to use children as a shield against the soviet troops. beautifully. and then there's the idea and above very terms and providing liberty never giving the people know i'm, i'm not just give me a place to be criminal, i guess missed appointment nights of alumnus to move in your risk of my practice. i'm assuming you mean yes. and you have an edition in your muscle, really a girl paragraph to do cuz you just got the price. i didn't police can follow the don't. did you see teacher? i like it. it was added to that artist and nobody to the prisoners themselves remained silent. being in the camp just once could lead to a prison sentence. in the late 19 forties and early fifties, former prisoners were considered traitors to the homeland domino's approach stylus . num your 3rd come yoshi, i'm glad each. don't remember you

because we know there was some concern when she wasn't able to answer the direct question on whether edwardraitor. >> yeah, absolutely. there's a lot of concern there and that is something concerning to democrats but also to republicans and keeping in mind that tulsi gabbard is a former democrat and has a controversial past in terms of her trip to syria to meet with them president assad and not being willing to cast snowdin as a trouter in the hearing didn't go over -- traitor in this hearing didn't go over well with people that see him that way and no room for ambiguity on that. the two candidates for cabinet we've spoken about are absolutely the most in danger on the hill. you were right to play vice president advance's comments and under-- vice president vance's score for them and the nominees and any sort of day right there, they'd be a really big problem. even so the advice and consent aspect of the senate means they can vote somebody down and they might. alicia: we'll be watching and a loot of work to do this coming week and weeks to come. jeff mason, so good to talk to you. thank you

so this was some of those force cavalry brigade from memphis under the command of colonel edward winslow has joined him in independence. this was of the some of the forces that were diverted to go against price. so he shows up he's have they are very experienced in fighting battles and so he puts winslow in operational command of those two brigades and they go attack at violence fort. they're able to get across the fort and midmorning they're staging at the bottom of what came to be known as bloody hell this is just east of where the kansas city water services is currently located on 63rd street and so winslow orders the attack up the hill and he gentle rise upon the in the woods. i've walked up that hill and again i'm little bit older than these guys were, but it's not as gentle as it seems like he says here. so the attack is success one and the confederates pull out and retreat west. there's more to the story. this is brigadier general john b clarke junior, who's in command of one of the brigades in marmaduke division. and he says the enemy came upon me, in the full enthusiasm of pursu

because of the moment when she was pressed over and over again if edward snow den, the nsa official who leaked highly sensitive classified documents f. he was a traitor. she wouldn't answer directly. one source is saying it rattled many officials. another person said president trump was curious about how it would affect her chances at nomination or if it wouldn't matter. i talked to sources close to tulsi gabbard. they're confident she can get the vote and so is the white house, a statement saying president trump nominated tulsi gabbard because he believes she will do an excellent job as director of national intelligence and we expect the senate to confirm. based on my conversations she's got work to do in terms of meeting with individual senators to be sure she gets over the finish line. >> the question as always is how will the rep can senators hold up under pressure from the president and his allies. we will see. thanks so much. we'll look for more on meet the press when kristin is joined by mark kennedy. >>> we are learning more about final moments of the deadly immediate vac plane

in the second city american rose liar liar, temptress, soldier, spy, the ghosts of eden park and edward edgar award finalist, best fact, crime and a novel where you end. native of philadelphia. she lives in new york city and in greenport, new york. she formerly wrote as karen abbott and her new book, which we are here for today, is titled eden a true story of sex, murder and utopia. at the dawn of world war, two hampton sides writes, there's a dash of conrad a bit of hitchcock notes of melville, darwin and robinson crusoe, and certainly more than a whiff of lord of the flies, but really eden, london completely its own thing. bizarre, mesmerize and completely tragic. compellingly tragic. kaler confronts an essential truth about those who ditched civilization. try as we might. humans cannot elude the tyranny of our own nature. now, hollywood has got this caught the eye of hollywood and ron howard is adapting the same to the big screen in a movie called eden, starring jude law, which will be coming out, we believe, at end of the year or maybe in 2025. so it's an honor to host abbott here a

dan, 1010 she refused to say on categorically she thought edward snowden was a traitor for his stealing of the she said she disagree to some of the secrecy soul. not all them some of those deserve to be made public. what do you make of her hearing? >> it well, i think her hearing did not go particularly well. as with rfk and tulsi gabbard trumpets made it pretty clear he is going to prom up both of them a cabinet position for supporting him in the election. >> quid pro quo. >> the problem with this both of them are really the wrong person for the job he has assigned them too. maybe there is a place somewhere in the cabinet or in the administration. tulsi gabbard especially is being nominated to be director of national intelligence in charge of 18 intelligence agencies the collection point for intelligence that comes to these agencies you feed to the president. that requires a pretty disinterested attitude toward all of these. and tulsi gabbard has very strong opinions about intelligence. and so it raises the question whether she could be trusted to give the president and objective opini

. >> she couldn't call edward snowden a traitor.ies around the world? >> reporter: kash patel is likely the easiest to confirm if republicans stick together. also up for vote soon, chris wright for secretary of energy and doug collins to run the rah v.a. both should score bipartisan support. griff? griff: chad pergram live on the hill, thank you. >>> well, for more on the confirmation hearing, let's bring in today's political panel. with us now, prospective strategies' ryan taylor and the president of corcoran treat group president, brad howard. brian, brad, thank you very much. let's get to that. now, we are going to go into these nominees, but i'm hearing reports just now the dnc is electing their new chairman. the person to lead them forward. and, you know, i think it's no secret that in the blistering november if elections the dnc has really taken its lumps. democrats receiving -- and i'm looks at you, brad, i'm coming to you first -- [laughter] >> yeah. griff: americans view the democrat party unfavorably. you have an emboldene

jeff edwards joins us now.l, one thing that appears clear is that this was not a problem with the airplane itself. the airplane was on a route. it may have been a little off course compared to where the runway was, but not by anything that was not correctible. the problem was with the helicopter. so, has the administration done the right thing in restricting those helicopter flights until they either stop them forever or at least find out a way to make them more compatible with the airport? >> david, that's a great question and i've been giving that a lot of thought in the last couple of days. that is part of the solution is to restrict the traffic, the helicopter vehicular traffic down that corridor, but you have to ask yourself several other questions. every single safety procedure, policy, and technology in this case failed. every single one. and a lot of it is, you know, of course mandated or regulated by the f.a.a. and other individuals or other organizations. for example, we have the class bravo air space

she didn't, uh, condemn edward snowden the way republican senators wanted her to.he did reverse her stance on section 702 of fisa, which a lot of republican senators like to hear. um, but there were a lot of questions coming out of that hearing. i still think there's a bunch of people in the middle that, you know, may not be willing to vote for her. um, that said, tom cotton did come on board with her, which is a big vote in her favor. so it's really up in the air right now. i do think she's in danger. i wouldn't be surprised if they pulled her. that said, who would be that fourth senator to step up and say i oppose tulsi gabbard? we haven't seen who that person is yet. >> all right. luke broadwater, thanks so much. >> still to come, investigators are still searching for a medevac jet's cockpit voice recorder as they try to piece together what may have led to the deadly crash in philadelphia. the latest on the investigation is next. also, the cleanup after the deadly wildfires in california. we're going to take a look at the difficult and painstaking path ahead. an

lawmakers are focussing on her apparent support of edward snowden, the former intelligence contractork more than 1 million classified documents. gabbard refusing to say whether he is a traitor. all three still have to be approved by the committees they've met with before going to the entire senate for a final vote. whit? >> whit: all right, perry russom for us. thank you. this week, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is headed to the u.s. for a white house meeting with president trump. this follows the latest hostage prisoner swap between israel and hamas which included an american. britt clennett is in tel aviv. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. prime minister netanyahu headed to washington, d.c., and expected to meet with trump on tuesday. before taking off today, netanyahu praised israel's alliance with the u.s. saying they can continue to redraw the map of the middle east. now talks with trump expected to focus on phase two of the ceasefire deal, but there are so many aspects of this deal that are still not thrashed out. it must include an end to the war and a

but tulsi gabbard, republicans kept throwing her a lifeline after lifeline to get her to say that edwarden, in fact, hurt national security, and she refused to do it. she just kind of doubled down. so all of these nominees have got to give these folks some heartburn, whether or not they will be loyal to the to their oath or to the president remains to be seen. >> carlos, are any of them endangering your judgment? >> i do. >> think. >> that tulsi. >> gabbard is probably. >> in greatest. >> danger when you think about the three senators who. >> voted against pete hegseth. >> mcconnell. >> murkowski and collins. >> i really don't see how gabbard gets. >> any of those three. >> and then we have. >> other senators, like james lankford, who has publicly expressed concerns about gabbard. >> so i. >> think she is going. >> to have a tough time getting confirmed. and i don't think the other. >> two. >> patel and. >> kennedy, are. >> shoo ins either. >> we did. >> see that senate republicans with the matt. >> gaetz nomination. >> did move. >> quickly to. >> torpedo him. we saw. three astray. >> on

a question from a democrat about, you know, edward snowden.at's fascinating in this deeply divided senate. >> is a single. >> vote could make a difference. pete hegseth was one vote away from being blocked. thom tillis didn't vote against him. so i think she's. in trouble. i think kennedy again, cassidy. it was amazing to watch him as a physician bring up all these issues with, you know, all these vaccines that have he's seen as a physician help people. so if there is a flip, it would be those two nominations. but i do think that kash patel will will get through and be confirmed. >> david. >> talk a little bit more. >> about thom tillis. my understanding. >> had been that he hadn't been keen on pete hegseth, didn't. >> think he was necessarily. qualified for the job, but because he is up for reelection himself in 2026, he doesn't want to jeopardize his own chances of becoming senator again. why would he take a different stance on. >> tulsi gabbard? >> is there a feeling that somebody like tillis. has a pass on one of these? and that's just whe

powerful than the vision the atomic bomb if it works on this project with alacrity it and talks to edward teller to robert oppenheimer incidentally robert i quote in the book says if we're honest to ourselves about this future is all gloom and doom atomic explosions yadda yadda yadda. that's his view. oppenheimer's view and the view of others and you know, they basically propose truman here is here is the report. here is the strengths and weaknesses of pursuing the hydrogen bomb. and the question boils to is, can the soviets do it? and the answer is yes. that's you know, there's a kind of clarity that moment in january of 1950, that's that's inspiring and it's an inspiring today. then the up appointed the head of policy planning to succeed george kennan and in a very short period of time i think seven or eight weeks, give or take, it's overseas. the drafting of nsc 68. now simple question, is it nsc? well, it's just the paper passed by the security council after nsc 67. but in mind here that all of we in 2024 and here is a very large national security council staff that would be doing thi
