late wednesday, cbs news was sent a letter of inquiry from the federal communications commission askinge full, unedited transcript and camera feeds from our interview with vice president harris, which aired on october 7th, 2024. we are working to comply with that inquiry as we are legally compelled to do. what does that say to you, molly? >> nothing good. it says nothing good. but i would also add, look, trump already said he was going to do this, but i would also add these media companies are sort of so big and so conflicted, and they have so many arms that they are all worried that donald trump is not going to let them do the kind of business they want, so they really are complying in advance, not just complying in advance in the anti-democracy sense, but also complying in advance in the sort of anti-free speech way. >> but the word, the word i'm sorry, the word is compromised. at the end of the day, it is compromised because what we are seeing is business. >> so what are they going to do? >> you are seeing donald trump use his power to lean on the media, to have everyone bend the kne

and if a a community or a city or state does not want to work with federal agencies like ice to prioritizethis, then those communities in those locations should expect to see a larger federal presence. that is what we're going to see very likely under the trump administration. unfortunately, for many of these locations, immigration is a federal responsibility that has been the last four years as states like texas have had to step up, take their own border security into their own hands. while being sued by the government who's taken action. it would be comical if it wasn't so dangerous to the country. in closing, i'll say very simply. it's time to regain control of the country and our security. the american people have spoken. immigration and border security as. we called it became the top in this election because of how it touches touches so much of our daily lives. it impacts the. it impacts our. and security. it impacts education of our children. it impacts all areas of life. and it was reflected such when the american people cast their votes. so i look forward to the new administration

federal level. so how is the city responded to that? >> we're trying to express our solidarity with all these communities, whether you know, folks, trance, whoever the federal government may for trump may be going after the stuff they're doing around around lgbt issues is crazy and some of it is symbolic but ugly of the notifications for lgbt travelers on the state department's website. now currently only say lgb travel is so they've taken that he out. they've taken down all sorts of information on the cdc website about prep. so there they are just they're kind of going all over the place and are racing from of, you know, federal mention these communities that i that they don't like. whether that is a people or or whoever else you know there. there's so much stuff coming at us. our city attorney david chiu is great and his lawyers are great. and to the extent that we need to litigate, we well, he's already, you know, in court, protecting trying protect birthright citizenship, which it's insane that that's even a question. but there will be a lot of stuff to litigate with the federal government about over the next few years. >> all right

will you freeze grant fund forgot community health centers? will you freeze federal funds for community health centers. >> the white house has made clear no funds will be denied to any american for benefits. any program. >> do you know what happens at community health centers? >> are you talking about the indian health centers >> no, community health centers across the country. >> i understand that. >> you'll excuse indian health which is good but others will get funds frozen. >> i strongly support community health centers as does the president. >> does that mean you're not going to freeze the funding. >> make clear that none of that funding is supposed to be frozen. >> sir, the direct payments are different than how the government operates. we fund the federal government down to community health centers as a former governor. there's lots and lots of state programs that are related to healthcare that come from the federal government. they come down to the state. then goes to local programs. all of those don't directly pay out a dollar at a time. but come from federal

and then right now, our community is going to need to be rebuilt. um, so whatever the federal government can, can provide for us is going to be really helpful. and i know our mayor is going to work with our administration with that. but, you know, we got some homes that are going to get rebuilt. and we also got some roads that are going to need to be rebuilt to as a result of this. so it's been a full tragedy. but you know, philadelphia we're going to recover. but i think the shock factor is harder to recover from. um, right now. >> unbelievable. and i, i have some experts i'm hoping to get answers from. the people really want next. thank you so much, councilman. i'm so sorry for your community. and we will continue to try to understand what happened and get those answers. thank you. >> keep us in your prayers. thank you absolutely. >> up next, what happened on board that plane before it crashed into this busy street in philadelphia? i've got two aviation experts here to try to walk us through all of it. we'll be back in a moment. >> oh, my god. here's a plane, bro. >> super m

a federal funding freeze earlier this week shook communities in every corner of the country. maybe yours too. elon musk and his cronies just gained access to the entire federal payment system, which everybody should be paying attention to. trump just fired the first shots in a trade war yesterday. that he admitted this morning will cause pain for american consumers, and confirmation hearings this week further exposed just how dangerous some of his picks are to lead government agencies. it is a lot. i get it. but i want to underscore something that i think is really important for all of you to remember, and that is trump and his team really do think that all of this is inevitable, that they will be able to do all of this without pushback, but they won't. they think they will. all just that we, all of us will just stand by. eyes glazed over and not even bother to question and to understand what they are doing. but we're not. we won't. it's such a cliche, but knowledge really is power in this moment. understanding and questioning and learning is power in this moment. so today we'

finally after four long years of having a president in the white house that ignored federal law and endangered their communities that there's a different man in charge now. there's a man in charge who loves this country, is going to help make that you are communities safer and these citizens that live here are thrilled. in fact, when i was in new york city earlier this week and in several cities since then, the people walking by us on the streets were thanking our officers. they were thanking these investigators and those that were taking these dangerous criminals out for being there, for making sure that they could walk their kids to school with a new confidence that they could get their safely and that they could do business and have their community back. >> secretary noem, let me ask you about the news you made overnight, dhs officially ending the decision to end temporary protective status for audience, that applies to about half a million venezuelans, they no longer have protection from deportation. these are people who were welcomed here, they did everything by the books. why should they be subject to dep

mentioned a moment ago, the spread of avian influenza, the inability of our federal government's public health agencies to communicatelaboratories, with hospitals and even with the public in terms of what they can and should be doing to protect themselves, what they should be concerned about, and what actions they should be taking along those lines, it stands to put us in real danger of not only this disease spreading, but seeing a lot more morbidity and mortality as a result. >> one last question. in regards to ai and climate, what are your concerns with forecasted electricity demand growth for ai data centers i handle how much did that influence this year's decision? >> well, i already dealt with it a bit by saying that the news from china might be beneficial in the sense that the specter of a lot of new energy demand coming from ai, and the purchase of dedicated energy sources was haunting us to some serious extent for the clock conversation. a friend of mine once said, we can never be clever enough to invent the ways in which people are going to want energy. and i was reminded of that when ai arrived. we have to

but what i really want to talk about also, is why inspectors general and the oversight community within the federals of having government accountability and how that works, is that ig's are there to prevent bad things from happening. we all know about investigations that happen after the fact when something goes wrong. but ig is also served the function of conducting audits and inspections, and that's proactive activity to ensure that something doesn't go wrong. so for example, when i was serving within the ig community years ago and we were conducting investigations, i'll ask you this question. have you heard about power units on f-15s failing and a number of aircraft going down? have you heard about maintenance issues or possible leaks of nerve gas occurring within an installation here in the united states? did you hear about that? no. and that's because whistleblowers came forward proactively to the inspector general filed these disclosures, and the ig was able to conduct an investigation to get to the bottom of it before anything happened. so as we're talking about things, whether it's the even

dozen pilots flying into reagan national filed complaints with federal authorities about near misses with helicopters soar, lack of communication from air traffic control. senators from virginia and maryland have warned for years about congestion at reagan and the air space around it. >> we should not be jamming more flights on to the busiest runway. united states as planes are taking off and landing every minute you are increasing. the resk of accident. >> the ntsb says the crash investigation will determine if congestion played a role in this week's crash boats returned to the potomac river today as part of the recovery effort and and the investigation is well under way now after that collision between the plane and the army black hawk helicopter, our washington correspondent reshad hudson joins us now live from the reagan. >> national airport to rashad. what are you learning tonight? >> vicki grant, good evening to the ntsb say they found the black box data recorder that was aboard the black hawk helicopter. they're hoping that will give them more insight into exactly why that helicopter collided in midair with the american

community's effectiveness. i would ask you can you show any evidence that somehow we would make our nation safer if you put your political litmus test and this idea of bringing trauma to the federal workforce by taking the intelligence community, which has been supported on a bipartisan basis, year-in and year-out, and somehow breaking it up and hithering on just for a political purpose? how does that make our nation safer? mr. vought: i never propose that an the president has disassociated himself from project 2025. sen. warner: good, we will get it on record. you will commit to make sure -- i would argue you need to make a business case before you start breaking up the government. i'm all for effectiveness. will you be willing to commit not to undermine our national intelligence community by arbitrarily trying to break them up and spread them around just because you want to blow up the federal workforce this region? mr. vought: yes. there is no policy process that the trump administration has done that is producing arbitrary results. let me speak to the question you raised with regard to my comments about the bureaucracy. it was specifically in reference to the weaponize bureau

community. key to that recovery has been what i described as the federal family of agencies, which includes fema and sba. last week, the president proposed eliminating fema and said, "let the states take care of the tornadoes and hurricanes and all the other things that happen." i have seen the devastation in lahaina and the role the u.s. government has played in recovery. the sba itself provided hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to help lahaina recover. it would be a huge mistake to eliminate sba's role in relief and have states fend for themselves. do you agree with the president's comments that states should be left to fend for themselves during and after natural disasters? ms. loeffler: i disagree with the premise. the president strongly supports disaster relief. he was on the ground this last week -- senator hirono: -- ms. loeffler: i also mention hawaii in my opening remarks. the president has been clear -- senator hirono: thank you. i'm glad you support the continuing and important role. when you were running for u.s. senator, -- time flies. chair ernst: yes, the senator's time is

communes. in a time like this, it is more than ever person for us to remind us about our proud history as a city of immigrants. and how we stand up to the federalt and we are not the intimidating in deterring our community. san francisco ordinance were in the 90's and the first major cities in the nation to pass a sashth iary city now we are joining 500 city and state across the country. it is in the only define whoy woor as a city of intrusion, compassion and equality but ensures our immigrant commuter access services like what we shared going to hospital. going to school without worried about turn in the ice or worry about immigration rate. again, we thank you for your support and hope the board will continue to support immigrant community. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening i'm catrain from the filipino communal center in d11 we are an organization of the san franciscoim grant legal and education network. i knowim guarantees are a vital part of our city and fight for over million undocumented philippinose in the united states continuing to live in fear amidst the new trump presidency. receiving requests for know y

federal and state actions in our state. most importantly we started two years in advance. we were out in the community, the black community, the hispanic community, the aapi community and on college campuses. we registered every college campus in the five battleground areas we needed to flip. over the course of the two years we had 40 offices, over 100 full-time staff and 50 part-time staff. we made over 1.7 million doorknobs and 5 million phone calls -- 1.7 million door knocks and 5 million phone calls. we won five out of seven. this is the kind of work i intended to do for the senate. the senate map is exclusively made out of these kind of battleground districts. i am confident we know what it takes to do well. unlike in past years, republicans have significantly more senate seats in this cycle. they have 22 seats up, we only have 13 seats up. our first priority is who are the senate candidates who will need our help to protect our incumbents? the number one race will be georgia. georgia can be a red state or a blue state. . we have senator jon ossoff who has proven he can get it done and win a toug

capital funding for the portal we submitted for federal grant applications and also one federal project i mean community project funding focused on wayfinding and we were happy to receive an award of $1 million for our wayfinding efforts and also nearly $25 million for a christie award which we're working to obligate now because that was received end of 2024. as for 2025 as executive director van de water mentioned, there's a lot of things happening as we brief and tour new members of different levels of government. in addition to participating in different conversations on funding for the local share for the portal so that's the state cap and trade program. that's the regional measure transportation manager as it advances and working to also apply for discretionary grant funding for both operation and capital funding needs. last slide please, t.j. in the neighborhood we like to highlight this because we do have a very important role in the neighborhood that i know we tout all the time and speak to and as you saw in the image before the transformation that has occurred in the neighborhood due to the sal

consider this president trump is offering buyouts to all federal employees, all 2 million of them. he communicated it via email in the same way, with the same title as elon musk did when he purchased twitter. also this week, the highest ranking career official at the treasury department is quitting after a clash with musk over access to sensitive payment systems. now, this follows the faa chief resigning after musk told him to resign after they clashed over spacex oversight. and the question i have for someone, anyone who who gave them the power and. who and who are all of these people? i mean, i don't know. shouldn't we know? >> i know who they are. they're all workers of elon musk, either at tesla or spacex. and there are people who have worked with him throughout many years. they started off in various and sundry jobs, but they're all his crew. he's got a crew. it's almost like a, you know, like a any crew you'd see in a movie, like they move from thing to thing. and they did that. they moved into twitter and did this. and right now what they're trying to do is essentially, you know, be the gen

certainly what our framers believed in the federal government to do what is constitutionally delineated it and the rest is up to states in the cities and communitiesand trump has also referred to as a populist and sometimes he is, but a smaller federal government is classic conservatism. how much can be done by executive action alone and how much is a good idea requires legislative action, alina habba to the present joining is now and welcome counselor and thank you for being with us and cutting waste and fraud and abuse and duplication is all great, much can be done by the executive branch alone and went requires legislative cooperation or action. alina: and so, here is the story. we have no time to buy something president trump has made that very clear and so he is putting all of of these executive orders to move things along for this great nation that is been declining for about four years obviously what happens is there will be challenges will probably end up in scotus on some of these things and we seen that with arthritis you. the president trump is firm and all of the white house counsel and all of the are part of these executive orders, th

one of the goals of their communication process in doing this is to advertise the way federal workersre treated differently than normal americans in their jobs. they are asked to come to work put to a lot of americans that does not seem unreasonable. one has a point or you guys have a point if you don't do with a scalpel maybe have some disruptions. the american people ask for change. he said is going to change things. there's a sliding scale on the mandate for disruption and how much you can withstand. the leviathan is going to resist the harpoons being thrown at it. federal workers do risk a little overplaying their hands by thinking they are the most important thing to democracy. many people in america who are working different than federal workers who do not see them as a pillar of the democracy that they see themselves and pray they see them as federal employees who work at taxpayer expense for. >> they have to make a decision by february 6. will be interesting to see how many decide to pursue this route panel do not go far the president's most controversial nominees were grilled

what we just heard from two federal judges that stopped the trump administration from essentially trying to destabilize and defund these programs that go to help so many communitiescolor. not only here in the united states once again, but all around the world. we have to remember that as of today, one out of two men. >> who are black. >> and gay will get hiv in their lifetime. those are the statistics today. so we have to be cognizant that if we stop funding these programs, we unfortunately will see a significant impact on our health systems nationwide as well as globally. >> now, in the wake of the deadly collision of american eagle flight 534 5342 and a black hawk helicopter taking the lives of 67 people, a reporter asked president trump how he could conclude dye was involved in the crash. the president answered with this. >> because i have common sense, okay? and unfortunately, a lot of people don't. we want brilliant people doing this. >> and then after then in the days after federal agencies rushed to comply with the president's executive order aiming to reduce die programs, the reductions included pausing all activities and events relating to martin luther

administration last night ordered a full halt on a whole lot of federal funds, including some states are now locked out of medicaid funds. community care in rural areas that senator cramer was talking about will not exist if we -- if rural hospitals don't exist and they are very dependent on medicaid. but the administration appears to be halting that funding as it is halting critical funding today for veterans in rural areas that depend on it. the administration also took an illegal act when it decided to unilaterally try to fire inspector generals, contrary to law. this is really troubling for a lot of reasons, just for example, the v.a. inspector general's office just released a report last fall on community care scheduling delays in the v.a. health service. but the administration is unilaterally deciding to fire all of these inspector general. the report that that inspector general date concluded that leaders had failed to focus on the patient, respond to staff concerns and get to the root cause of concerns regarding delayed scheduling of urgent consults. this type of work, holding government accountable and making sure that ou
