eugene, what kind of statement do you think the president wanted to make with these awards today? the timing cannot be understated here. >> yet. one is exactly what was written that he is trying to show that the importance of what he said in the election about putting country over party, about democracy being at the center of things, that is still key. that is something he feels the country should focus on moving forward even though's party lost the election. it's also a nod to donald trump and a warning to him and his colleagues do not go after people like liz cheney and not go after people like bennie thompson with investigations, to investigate the investigators of january 6. it's something we've heard over and over again that joe biden is trying to make folks listen to that as well here. >> you know, the president, he was also considering preemptive pardons for not just liz cheney and not just bennie thompson, but all of the january 6 committee members. trump already said on meet the press that cheney should be jailed. how concerned is the white house that this incoming admini

but i think eugene is exactly right.e potential nominees know that what they do reflects on donald trump, and the buck ultimately stops with the president. so ultimately, it's going to be up to donald trump to decide whether what they are doing is in keeping with his agenda or not. and if they do something that is not what they said that they were going to do, it's up to the president to decide whether that's a firing offense or whether that was what he wanted in the first place. >> okay, back to the question i want to ask you, steph, because you report that trump previewed his plan for 100 executive orders when he visited capitol hill last week. what can you tell us about that one? >> yeah. so during this closed door meeting with senators donald trump and his longtime adviser stephen miller, who is most known for his hawkish immigration stance, stood up and told senators about some of their aggressive plans. starting on day one, they plan to really hit the ground running on january 20th, and they're already starting to

eugene, your thoughts. >> that's quite a moment, isn't it? those two men have not been close since the trump presidency. i believe this is the first time they've met and spoken since january 6th, 2021, which was a day we all remember. you know, this is -- it's interesting because today it looks remarkable to see of these republicans and democrats, former presidents, former vice presidents who have such differences. to see them altogether. that seems remarkable. i think back to when jimmy carter was in office, which was a long time ago, it was almost 50 years ago. it would not have been remarkable then. >> i'm going to point out president obama, vice president al gore, dan quayle. >> yeah, and, lester, it would not have been remarkable to see this during the carter years. you know, nostalgia is -- you know, we have to look to the future. we have to look to the present. but there are things that we have lost from the past and one of them is this -- we have become so polarized, our political culture has changed so much that it's almost stunning
