elena, are you here with us? >> yes, i am. hi jessica. >> okay, so, elena, this is our breaking news that trump is announcing that he intends to nominate kash patel to head up the fbi. this has been talked about now for several weeks. and what are you learning about how this decision came to be made and what is the thinking around this decision? >> well, a few things first of all, i would note that donald trump has long wanted to replace the current fbi director, christopher wray, even when he was in donald trump in the final weeks of his white house, his first term, he had been making plans to fire chris wray and replace him with someone else. and now that he has been elected once again and is set to take the set to be sworn in on january 20th. from my conversations with those around trump and close to trump, that was always a goal of his. the question was who would he replace him with? now, kash patel is a fierce loyalist to donald trump, someone who served in his first white house as well but there's also a lot of controver

hegseth was already the senate to testify against the confirmation of supreme court justice elena kagan over her treatment of military recruits at hartford -- harvard law school. >> thank you very much captain pete hegseth -- did i press that correctly? executive director of vets for freedom and infantry officer in the massachusetts army national guard and iraq war veteran. received his ba from princeton, pursuing a masters at harvard university, john f. kennedy school of government. that's all correct? >> yes, sir. >> please go ahead. >> chairman lee, ranking member, other members, thank you for the opportunity to be a today. it's a privilege to take part in these proceedings. my name's pete hegseth and executive director of vets for freedom dedicated to supporting our war fighters and omission on the battlefield. i receive my commission from princeton in 2003 and that sir two tours in the united states army, the first in guantÁnamo bay, cuba, and the second iraq with the 101st airborne. currently infantry captain as chairman's and with the massachusetts army and a graduate from harvar

today i'm meeting a young musician named elena rose.er, but look out. she's about to blow up. pleasure to meet you. - welcome to miami. - heard so much about you. - i've seen a lot about you. - i've seen a lot about you too. you're killing it. killing the music industry. - thank you, man. i just signed with warner label. - that's incredible. - latin. so i'm very excited. - elena was born in miami to venezuelan parents, and spent most of her childhood in venezuela and puerto rico. but it was pr that inspired her love affair with music. - i grew up in bayamón in puerto rico. every day, we would have music playing. salsa, merengue. and i was just so intrigued about how it made me feel. - right. - puerto rico gave me the freedom to feel myself. - right. - and be myself. you know, like, there's music in the streets. - yeah, yeah, puerto ricans definitely carry that-- puerto rico changed my life forever. i spent half of my life in pr, and then my teenage years in venezuela. then i left very young. i was 19 years old when i made the decision t

elena, what's been the reaction so far from these countries to trump's comments? >> well, wolf, they're making very clear that, you know, their countries are not for sale, that the panama canal is not for sale. look, donald trump, if he wanted to move forward with really expanding america's footprint abroad in these ways, it would rival the louisiana purchase or the deal that essentially netted alaska from russia. but again, it's very unlikely that any of these threats or his calls to try and reclaim or excuse me, just claim overall, some of these territories are not going to happen. for example, he's really taunting canadian prime minister justin trudeau over the last several weeks, arguing that he could become a governor and saying that he wants the united states to absorb canada as the 51st state. clearly, justin trudeau is not going to entertain that, and he hasn't so far as it relates to greenland. for example, the prime minister of greenland, and it's a danish territory. they've said repeatedly that greenland is not for sale, something that donald trump actu

elena's beautiful eyes and my rock hard abs.orous workout routine. she is already very observant and has asked if jessi wears the toupee. i told her that he definitely wears a wig. as you can understand, we value our privacy and we thank everyone for the good wishes. and now i have to go stop gus from licking her face. congratulations, greg, elena and mira. welcome to the world. we are excited for you and enjoy this time together. we miss you, but we are there in spirit. that's not changing diapers. >> some of us miss you, some a little bit. others are enjoying the time without you. take as long as you want, but it is great. >> it's important that you connect with the baby. yeah, connect. >> connect with mira all the way into the new year. >> greg, i'm happy for all of you. and jessica. let me turn it over to you for a either a comment or your own. one more thing. >> well, my comment is i'm obsessed with this for you, greg. and i knew you would fall to baby fever at some point. i'm glad to have you on the squad and we can do wal

elena.hat more are you learning well, kate, i think one thing is very much clear here, and that is that donald trump is really embracing kind of the reaction and support, i would say, from different business leaders and these tech ceos. >> he is welcoming, having these different ceos. >> this includes we know that he met with meta ceo mark zuckerberg, apple's tim cook, google's sundar pichai, alphabet inc's found co-founder. i should say sergey brin. i mean, a series of these really, you know, high profile tech giants, these leaders of these tech giants going down to florida to meet with donald trump. and it is something that donald trump is not only welcoming but touting. and we heard him do that yesterday during that news conference. i want you to take a listen to what he said. >> i had dinner with sort of almost all of them, and the rest are coming. and this is one of the big differences, i think, between we were talking about it before. one of the big differences between the first term a

alayna treene reporting for us, elena. thank you very much. i want to bring in our political experts for some analysis. jasmine wright, i'm going to start with you. is the president elect's opinion on a law already passed by congress, signed into law by the sitting president, something the u.s. supreme court would even consider? >> i mean, i think it's significant for him to weigh in. of course, as elena said, he had kind of been inching closer to it, saying that he had warmed up to it. if you kind of look back in history, wolf, his campaign first joined tiktok in june after his son don jr., joined. >> and it was basically them arguing that they would not be they would not be willing to cede any ground to the then biden campaign on any of these platforms that reach more voters, potentially these young voters. and then kind of his his followership exploded on that app after he entered it. and so i think him weighing in on this point is significant. i think it's the the trajectory of what has happened is significant. he says. he warms up to it,

esta propuesta impulsada por la líder del senado, elena gonzález, y respaldada por el superintendenteoyo con la policía. de ser aprobada esta posible legislación estatal, prohibiría a los distritos escolares y oficinas de educación de los condados, escuelas autónomas y personal escolar. otorgar a funcionarios de ice el acceso al interior de las escuelas sin una orden judicial. prohibiría la cooperación de la policía con los esfuerzos de control de inmigración dentro de un radio de una milla de una escuela para garantizar una zona segura para que los padres de familia traigan y recojan a sus hijos de las escuelas. prohibiría también compartir información sobre los estudiantes, sus familias, sus hogares con los agentes de ice. esta legislación que está proponiendo la senadora elena gonzález, con el apoyo del superintendente este de california, está proponiendo que ahora se haga este más formalmente, que no les permitan entrar a las escuelas para evitar la separación de las familias. se estima que el 93% de los niños con 1 o más padres de familia indocumentados son ciudadanos estadounide

why is elena alaska any objection to base the election being re run after she was beaten? it was a p as not to have being a firefight as well because the loss has change filled in romania in the past week. now let's go. he has conducted a campaign where she was her electorate, that russia might be a middling interfering in our election, sienna mirand, romania, and a lot of boulders that were on the site, especially the social democrats, both as a much of sherlock loss. the elections of the a, just the natural for about 2000, both 2400 boats up beside the to actually support the and i'll ask on you. so she had a fair chance with these elect shows, based on the genuine concerns of romanians who thought that the georgia calling georgia school the candidate to death trigger old this uh, breaking news story, and romania to day might of last the elections based on this genuine concern and fear, all of of people and again of the declassified documents from the romanian, intelligent service, alleged that a state sponsored a campaign online, especially on tick tock for callings. ok

elena.hear the titans of business, people who haven't spent their lives on college campuses making predictions that didn't come true, actually in the real world, how does that make you feel? >> well, i mean, it makes me feel really glad that trump is going to be our president, that we have trump-asaurus rex out there and i'm going to get the popcorn ready to watch the show go down. you know, these people are just complaining and hooting and hollering and trying to fit a narrative that is not actually true, and they have been exposed and more exposure is yet to come so i am ready. i am ready to enjoy the show. >> jesse: can you believe there has been drones peppering the skies for the last three weeks in new jersey and the sitting president hasn't said a word about it? >> no, i can't believe it. and they shouldn't be worried about trump. they should be worried about those drones, and you notice why they stay up north? because down south, if anything flies in the air, we'll shoot them down. so

the west portal neighborhood here in the city, one of the busiest restaurants here in the area is elena's, and they're getting ready for the next couple of days. they're not hosting any big new year's eve parties, but they say they are very busy with reservations for that night. and that's good news for their restaurant, other businesses and the community at large is elena is brings a new energy to the community. right. and the thing is that we are getting customers not just from here for the neighborhood, also from the bay area. and, laura, you mentioned that ap poll earlier. it found nearly 2 in 10 will be celebrating at a friend or family member's home, and just 5% plan to go out to celebrate at a bar or restaurant or an organized event. but if you are part of that 5%, there are plenty of events to choose from here in the city, including what you hear there. the annual fireworks show off the embarcadero, which is happening new year's eve. tickets to bigger events to watch that show, like the new year's eve gatsby party that's on the water, that will run you about $200 each ticket, some

glue shots who joined us now live from belgrade. elena took us through exactly the dynamic of what's happening here because the students, after blocking universities, they've called on all the citizens in belgrade to join them. so yes, i have to say, 1st of all that the protest is over and nobody's here now. but the just a half an hour ago, 30000 people over here. and this is the official police report. so as you said, for over a month, the university in belgrade has been blocked. and i'll show you, i'll get you to the story. you said it already, we had an accident on november 1st. you said you have now decided the northern parts of the country when the part of the railway station building collapse and killed 15 people. uh and 4 weeks. oh dorothy said nothing and did nothing. uh so 1st of all, uh, every friday at the 11th 11, 52 am with the accident. acute people, uh, starting to come and go through the streets blocking drive. so you can pay tribute to victims to 15 minutes for 15 victims and then every day and then students um started locating uh their buildings. uh then uh many hig

pro russian candidate kalene's or jessica pitted against centrist pro european elena less scone. the current president says he'll remain in office until a successor is elected. is an unprecedented legal decision that is put to remain in democracy in crisis. the country was set to go to the polls again on sunday for the 2nd round, the presidential elections, but not so changed. now that the constitutional court has a know the results of the 1st round, meaning the whole process must be repeated. the window of the 1st round was this man, call it, and don't just go far right now to skeptical spoken highly a russian president vladimir putin in the past before the 1st round of georgia scubas an old most complete. he doesn't belong to a political party. and most of his competitors just done a ticket, to his surprise waiting and raised eyebrows in my mania and beyond the decision to a know the election came off to intelligence documents would be classified. they suggested that georgia school may have benefited from an online phone bass mass influence operation to sway the vote. jo jessic

elena, a lot of u.s. political observers were wondering, you know, is he going to let johnson twist in the wind? is he going to weigh in? and now he has weighed in. >> he has. >> and he has made it clear that he is backing house speaker mike johnson for that leadership election on friday. >> and really, this is a major boost to mike johnson, especially as many conservatives in the house have made it clear that they are not committed to backing johnson. >> we've already heard from one republican house member, thomas massie. reiterate today on x that he is planning to vote against mike johnson. >> i want to read to you what donald trump posted this morning on truth social. >> he said, quote, let's not blow this great opportunity which we have been given. the american people need in all caps immediate relief from all of the destructive policies of the last administration. speaker mike johnson is a good, hard working religious man. he will do the right thing and we will continue again in all caps to win. mike

let's talk about this with josh campbell who's a cnn security analyst and elena calabro, a staff writer for the atlantic who has covered kash patel extensively. so, josh, i want to play some sound from north carolina governor elect josh stein talking about kash patel. take a listen well, i want somebody who respects the rule of law and his nomination for the fbi does not give me confidence that that's a top priority so we hear a lot of democrats and even some republicans echoing that, that skepticism what do you think the patel appointment would mean for the fbi? could he impact how the bureau press's investigations? >> yeah, the director has great oversight and power as it relates to investigations. and, you know, first, i've been talking with sources inside the fbi, many different people and a lot of them wanted to dispel this myth that some other networks have apparently been reporting and that's, you know, fbi agents are scared or afraid. >> i mean, these are dogged people that put their heads down. they do their work. but what i am hearing is there is grave concern in two respects.

they are all very loyal to trump and to as elena was just underscoring, there two of them are president elect's in-laws. so through these picks and others, what tenor or tone is trump setting yeah. >> look, i think i think it's two sides of the same coin. i mean, the patel selection continues a pattern of trump selecting loyalists who most push the boundaries of what previously would have been considered acceptable nominees in the positions that would position them to most effectively advance what he talked about openly in the campaign was an agenda of retribution and revenge. whether it's pete hegseth or the defense department, obviously matt gaetz originally now pam bondi as attorney general, tulsi gabbard at dni, all people who are unlikely to raise many red flags and in fact are more likely to participate if trump tries to follow through on his pledge or threat, depending on how you look at it to use the federal government against people he views as his opponents. the other side of the coin are the appointments of these family members to key positions, extending what he did in his f

c's alayna treene is in west palm beach and elena, talk us through how the incoming administration ist is a seismic shift in the middle east it is a seismic shift, jessica. and part of the concerns that i'm picking up from donald trump's team is one that this, of course, is going to complicate any efforts that they try to move forward with as it relates to finding a pathway to end the wars, both in the middle east but also between russia and ukraine. how this conflict ends here could potentially spill over into other regions in the middle east into lebanon et cetera. all things that they're waiting for. >> but another big thing, i think to keep in mind, as well, is whether or not this could lead to a resurgence of isis or allow other extremist groups to really gain a foothold in the region and, you know, see them do what they've done in the past, which is kind of use a crisis moment to plot attacks against the united states. >> we also saw jd vance, the vp elect kind of, you know, nod at that today on social media. but one thing i do want to argue as well is what we saw donald trump d

elena, tell us more what you're hearing from your sources right well, jessica, what i've talked to donald trump's team and those working on the transition, some of those involved in these conversations about kash patel directly. >> they told me that donald trump really over the past several days was wavering between two top candidates to helm the fbi. and that was kash patel but also missouri attorney general andrew bailey. now i was told that there were people close to donald trump who who knew that the president elect wanted kash patel in some big role, whether it was at the fbi in the doj. more broadly, the department of justice. more broadly, i should say, or in a national security role. however people were a bit concerned. there were some there was some uneasiness among some of those people close to donald trump about whether or not kash patel should get the director role or be a deputy director at the fbi, because there have been some concerns around the controversy around him, some of the past comments that he has made, including saying that he would want to seek retribution agains

elena. also tell us about this feud that's unfolding within maga right now involving the issue of immigration and elon musk. >> right. well, it's clear that we're seeing this rift really play out now between, you know, some of the most diehard. loyal maga fans of donald trump, many of whom were drawn to him and attracted to him because of his hard line immigration policies. and then some of the more, you know, silicon valley newcomers, some of the tech bros who have embraced donald trump and supported donald trump in this past election, but still kind of rely on some, you know, high skilled foreign workers for their own businesses. and we really saw this play out on christmas day. and since then, with elon musk and vivek ramaswamy, two people who are going to be running donald trump's new government efficiency initiative kind of call for and defend h-1b visas and having these high skilled foreign workers come to the united states. i want to read for you some of what they have said. so. elon

probably a centrist elena, that scone also gloss difficult after this. the de romanian state, his credit hold on democracy garcia. they support decision is illegal, immoral, and crushed as the very essence of democracy. the vote such misconduct will cut it off daily in the years to come people on the streets, bucharest also expressed consent on democratic i did the very bad that this has happened. that's it. that's all i wouldn't comment anymore. it's what i'm search and unfortunately it's on susan and we don't know which direction and going, which is us and the families that video mania is now going on, shots and watches politically. and nobody really knows what comes next. just over 5 years ago, the world watched in shock as a fire swept through the cathedral of notre in paris. well, today, after a painstaking restoration work, the cathedral will reopen for the 1st time. the w spoke with a specialist about what it took to restore one of france's most beloved icons of the master piece of caustic architecture. and a landmark of paris has been restored to

elena, you're tracking international reaction to these new posts by trump. what are you learning?>> i am and look, a lot of these leaders are either pushing back very aggressively on what donald trump is saying, or kind of trying to allow him to just, you know, say this and not give so much response to draw more attention to it. for example, we saw panama's president today, jose molano, say essentially that, you know, panama, the panama canal is not up for grabs. they are not considering selling it and also pushing back on donald trump's claims that chinese soldiers are controlling the different ports in panama. so that's one president weighing in very clearly and directly on this. he said this at a press conference. but then also when you look at his claims about trying to make canada the 51st state of the united states, trying to absorb it into this country, i mean, it's clear that justin trudeau is not considering that. i would note, though, that this also comes after trudeau had flown to florida directly to meet with donald trump at mar-a-lago, and they had dinner following do

and also, you know, there's all of these kind of this glad handing and this presentation as elena was just saying, of pageantry. but it's not as if there aren't problems right below the surface there as well. >> yeah, it comes at a time, alison, in which france is in a major political and economic crisis so, you know, french president macron is, of course enjoying basking in. >> well, it's not great weather there in paris today, but certainly basking in the warmth of being the center of international affairs right now with the incoming president trump and meeting with president zelenskyy and showing himself as as a major player in world affairs, which actually, he is. i mean, i don't want to downplay that. france is one of the leading economies in the world, democratic economies in the world it's the third largest country in europe, after ukraine. and russia. and it's a big player in world affairs. so it is indeed important. and it's extremely significant to actually be sitting in the room with president zelenskyy and incoming president trump as war rages with russia and the trump adm

we're painting it like made bring us white and prosperous days. elena, that says, we are forced to paint the flag on our doors all of us. but now we're free to painted and light. so by so many asylums friends have long since left the country to escape the turbulent political situation over the past decades . and he worries that now things might get worse on daughter. he's a old people or q him for bread, that's a bakery in there. but despite the form of the regime, he says, very little has changed so far. i like to see why he's in the self. and the only thing that has changed here, that'd be nice about is that this building of the air force intelligence is empty. it out to so we uh huh. hello. it was always surrounded by arm soldiers. no, no, i don't see them. i thought you had wanted to see the other one. i said it's all the same when about you must have a lot of a holiday in the air force intelligence spending is a prominent feature of a central noun for exclusive detention center. the base is now applied by serial position fighters. they show us what those you've agents left behind th

tiffany, i think to elena's last point there, this has been one of the questions of is it trolling? is he? and i think in justin trudeau's case, it seems to be very explicitly trolling. but when it comes to to greenland, when it comes to the panama canal, is this a negotiating tactic? is he trying to lay the groundwork for an american first foreign policy? how does this all kind of align? >> yeah, i mean, look, over the last four years, we've been the laughingstock of the world, and world leaders have gotten away with whatever they wanted. president trump is showing peace through strength. you know, as far as the panama canal, he has talked he talked about the panama canal all throughout his campaign and rightfully pointed out that it was practically given away for free under jimmy carter, a safe and secure panama canal is so crucial to america's economy. and not only that, but our national security. so we know that china is operating or chinese businesses are operating on boats at the ports of both ends of the canal. this is a fact. so president trump is setting the stage to protec

pro russian candidate collins, georgia school, excuse me, pitted against interest pro european elena, let's go to. the current president says he'll remain in office until as the successor is elected. an unprecedented legal decision that is put to remain in democracy in crisis. the country was set to go to the polls again on sunday for the 2nd round presidential elections, but not so changed. now that the constitutional court has a, know the results of the 1st round, meaning the whole process must be repeated. the window of the 1st round was this man, call it, and don't just go far, right. nato skeptical spoken highly. a russian president vladimir putin in the past before the 1st round of georgia scubas an old most complete. he doesn't belong to a political party. and most of his campaigners, dunham picked up his surprise waiting with raised eyebrows and mania and beyond the decision to a know the election came off to intelligence documents would be classified. they suggested that georgia school may have benefited from an online phone based mass influence operation to sway the vote. jo

she has elena's beautiful eyes and my rock hard abs.ching her three languages and putting her through a rigorous workout routine. she's already very observant and has asked if jessi wears a toupee. i told her that he definitely wears a wig. as you can understand, we value our privacy. we thank everyone for the good wishes. and now i have to go stop gus from licking her face. so congratulations to greg and elena. i'm going to you first, tyrus. >> one down, three to go. gutfeld! good for him. it's the best. honestly, it's the best time to have a kid when you're 60. no, no. it is. think about it. he's financially set. you know, he values his time. he's got left, so he's not going to. he's not going to miss the first steps. he can afford to be home for that. he can afford to make it to all the baseball games. you know, god willing. and you know what i'm saying? but he's it's a great time to be a dad. you know, he's not going to be working, but you had to work. you missed a lot. not going to be in that position. so i think it's a little late

here now is cnn's elena and elena. what can we expect from trump's return to the world stage? >> well, first of all, it's his first overseas visit since he won the election, and it's going to be a great opportunity for him to kind of rub shoulders with some of these leaders. we're told. there's roughly 50 heads of state that are going to be there. now, i'm also told that donald trump and french president macron are going to have a one on one meeting on the sidelines of this event. there's questions around whether or not donald trump is going to meet with volodymyr zelenskyy. from my latest conversations with trump's team, they essentially said that there have been no serious discussions about that. but there's also going to be a large reception on the sidelines of this this notre dame reopening that essentially they're expecting that at some point there could be some sort of pull aside where they have a discussion and they know that this is kind of on macron's mind. one thing, though, i'd be remiss not to add, is that this is it is a trip that, you know donald trump doesn't no

elena, you've done a lot of deep reporting on it. >> i think it starts, grievance, being a theme that runs through his career and that's right, to me, what i found to be a formative moment for him and my reporting was, when he was a federal defender at the miami public defender's office and was berated by a federal judge in houston for showing up without a tie to court. certainly, the judge's outburst was disproportionate to the quote unquote crime but that moment, coupled with the fact that when the washington post published a report about this, back in 2016, the department of justice would not go on the record defending patel despite doing so in private. so for kash patel, that, to him, read as, manifestation of the system being unwilling to back up the people in the rank and file, so that i think was sort of what escalated as he went on to work for devin nunes, and this idea that you know, his grievance against the system, he's steadily accruing the powers you would need to exact revenge on the people who he feels has wronged him. >> did you see any of this when you're working with

elena, what are you hearing about? why donald trump is focused on this still? >> well, kate, i'm told that he's so fixated on this, specifically what you mentioned, this idea of wanting to take over control of the panama canal, as well as reviving what he first called for in 2019, which is to purchase greenland from a danish territory, which i should say, they argue is not for sale. all of this, though i'm told, is part of a broader negotiating tactic. and that is one trump advisers interpretation of some of what donald trump has been saying this week. they argued that donald trump wants to force these foreign leaders to the table to try and one bolster u.s. trade and put america in a better position as it comes to trade, but also with this idea of trying to curb both china and russia's influence on the global stage. now, for panama, for example, donald trump's overarching goal, this adviser told me, is really to try and get lower prices for passage of american vessels in the canal. they said, quote, so that american companies have an easier time. he also belie
