jared kushner had a huge role in the trump first term. as was ivanka trump. he will not have a blue pass to walk around the west wing. i don't think i would be wrong to minimize it, but not to the level we saw the first time. jared kushner has his own private fund. he said that's part of the reason he's not going in. ivanka trump cited their children. instead, we have seen the influence of other children has grown in the four years trump has been out of office.÷÷donald trump jr. was one of those. he stayed close to trump after he left office in 2021. let's listen in. >> and the honorable michael pence. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ applause ] >> reporter: this comes after trump posted in recent days the note that they cannot hire anyone who worked for mike pence in this administration. >> ladies and gentlemen, the 42nd president of the united states. the honorable william j. clinton accompanied by the honorable hillary rodham clinton. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ applause ] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen, the 43rd president of the united states. the honorable geor

you see jared kushner sitting in one of the pews. other members of the trump family sitting there in the pews. the church service is a tradition going on in this country since fdr began inauguration day in 1933. not every president has done it at st. john's church. but it is a time honored tradition, dana bash. >> and that's quite a picture. you see the soon to be president again coming in with his wife melania and barron who was quite small. >> 10 years old. >> 10 years old and now he's the opposite of small. >> he's a college student at, i believe he's at nyu, a freshman at nyu. >> and with jared kushner and ivanka, his wife, and there you see a different picture. >> let's put back the one we just -- you just popped up, the one with president trump there. president- elect trump with vice president-elect jd vance sitting in the pews, the vice president, a member of the millennial generation. donald trump's completely skipping over gen x, going right to the millennials. >> can i make one other point, if we go back to -- sorry, contro

tax cuts of 2017 for the wealthy, as you know, dasha, i had this huge fight with jerry cohen and jared kushner and steve mnuchin, i lost and they said steve bannon has to go. it's central to the american people. >> you talk about cutting at the federal level. what's the first agency you would scrap or gut. >> i spent eight years as a naval officer and my daughter is a west point graduate, searched in iraq, bannons have a history, doing the five years as good citizens and civilian life. she's been at the support-- she'll be in the audience as a former junior officer, female officers, when i see an ndaa of $900 billion and don't see us in a confrontation with the chinese communist party, the defense budget is too big, i'm adamant that defense budget needs to be cut. >> would hegseth do at that, steve? would hegseth do that? >> when the people tell you here the problem is entilements. they're missing the point. entitlements is a contract with the little guy. they're not going to give us their social security or medicare until they see the political class and donor class actually get their arms ar

brett: this goes back to jared kushner's comments, that it would make a great development. whether it is on greenland or gaza, will always be thinking like a real estate developer. but it generates a whole lot of both diplomatic and the secure implication, we are simply going to move out over one million people from gaza, asked jordan, ask the egyptians, others, to take them in, let alone the fact that they have the right to be there. that is their land. i think trump does not answer these really hard questions, he just creates more hard questions. caitriona: as we've been hearing, huge numbers of palestinians have begun heading back to homes in the devastated north gaza. half a million are expected to follow in the coming days. in addition to the coast, which reopened earlier, the israeli military is now allowing vehicles to travel north along the central highways, but what is left for these residents to return to? bbc verify has been looking into it. >> yes, palestinians have been coming to the north of gaza for the first time in months after israel granted them access as

we can see jared kushner in the special seating area talking to donald trump's pick for r commerce secretaryse ally and advisor of donald trump. that point you were making about the seating arrangements inside the rotunda earlier for the inauguration ceremon given how those ceos of the technology companies were stitched and woven in between the individuals we are looking at now who have been picked in donald trump's cabinet. it kind of go slightly to what joe biden was talking about in his farewell address last week when he was giving these warnings about how a small number of extremely wealthy people have a lot of power and they have a lot of influence because of the control over the social media platforms. >> it is important to remember that someone like elon musk decided to buy what was twitter and now called x, he made a big point of emphasizing the importance of freedom of especially. something he continues to talk about. his concerns that the old twitter was too reliant with the u.s. government at the time it was sensory certain parts of speech. now elon musk continues to talk about fr

we saw what happened abraham accords under president trump and the great work his team with jared kushnerriedman that they did. i think there is a real spirit of turning the middle east, like a twin port transformation. we need to defeat hamas. we need to make sure the people know they cannot attack israel. and just get away but that, god forbid. and the other countries in the region who respect strength recognize the benefits to partnership will help form this new alliances and a growing of the abraham accords. please god should be on the way under president trump. >> carley: you know, rabbi, one of the things donald trump is doing and one of the major things is cultural. he is talking about reclassifying gender and bringing faith and american values back to the forefront of this country. as the president of the university, this is something you fight for on a daily basis. what do you think about that part of president trump's mission? >> well, i mentioned at my benediction yesterday, than americans -- i paid americans would unite around our foundational biblical values of life and liber

first marionette-in-law jared kushner is back. can see him here saying hello to all the billionaires who showed up. and before taking a seat, this is interesting, jared said hello -- didn't say hello to marco rubio, but did sit right on mark zuckerberg's lap. a lot of people were surprised to see the former vice president mike pence show up, but he did. no, that's not him. that is definitely not him. do we have mike pence? mike pence, the last time he was in the building, he was being chased by a man dressed as a buffalo. he showed up anyway. he showed up without mother. karen pence opted not to celebrate the man who was all good with a bunch of yahoos killing her husband. mike is actually the fun one in the couple. the award for best dressed at today's inauguration, let's go back to that, went to senator john fetterman who looked like his mom interrupted his fortnite game and forced him to come downstairs. you know, john, even adam sandler wears a suit to the golden globes. after he was sworn in trump gave his second inaugural add

after he left office trump son-in-law jared kushner, was handed 2 billion dollars investment by saudis, saudi investment board said that investment wasen a bad business decision. that comes open renewal in 2026.. giving saudis massive leveraging over trump family. and right after election, trump organization said that in thisig term, the president-elect second term toec would drops it previous prohibition of doing -- trump organization will sign new business deals in middle east with private companies that have connection with foreign governments. that is just extraordinary. never before has a president been receiving cash from foreign governments and from foreign companies that are backed by foreign companies in middle of their term. if you and i had done this add senator we would be in violation of senate ethics rules. this is not permitted. my question is simple. do you see how this family compromises our diplomatic efforts, do you have an issue will raise an issue with the president about his growing financial connection with governments you will negotiate with. >> first, i am no -

and barron trump and yvonne clark, jared kushner, former president george w.ived and for an hour and a half away were president-elect donald trump to be sworn into office to cap what many consider to be the greatest political comeback of all time. a lot has changed at the capital since the first inauguration, the first one george washington is up in new york in 1789, the first one in washington was thomas jefferson 1801, the first one on the east was andrew jackson of course in 1829, the first to have that in east portico every president since has came to the east portico until ronald reagan he went to the westside the first one in 1981. the first inauguration was held out here in january and 1937. alexander hamilton wrote the federalist about the energy of the executive and there's no question that president donald trump will bring the energy to the white house especially with the 200 executive actions that we are expecting in the next few hours and were waiting for the departure of joe biden after he leaves marine one and they will fly him to the air force b

when i left, they were on the verge of saudi arabia -- jared kushner said with four years it would have happened. that would have reset the middle east. not a surprise geostrategic way that that was the first call, and also financially. they've got oil. they have energy. that's the key to bringing down inflation costs. he talked today about saudi arabia pushing them to increase their b -- investments in our country to $1 trillion pick it make, but to trace's point about these leaders, it's a good one. one of biden's favorite things to say was world leaders "love me. they want me to have four more years." i don't doubt that -- i bet they did. you were getting railroaded by these foreign leaders. do think they want donald j. trump back who said "raise your investment to nato?" of course they didn't. some of the white house will hold them accountable. i love that he took them to task, lecturing them about relations to their face. that's a businessman. that is america first. >> he also talked about what nato nations need to be doing and what they need to be paying. this number was astoundin

term was security clearances that he overrode issues or concerns that people had, including for jared kushnergrant them those security clearances. this is saying that he would provide the white house counsel with a list of personnel that are immediately granted these top secret security clearances for the next six months as they undergo the background checks and that process continues. they will have access without having completed that, anderson. >> kaitlan, thanks. i want to go back to our panel, also joining us is former new hampshire republican governor chris sununu. thank you for joining us. >> you bet. >> first of all the pardons. what do you make? >> well, personally i think he should have been a lot more surgical, strategic about what -- i think we're all pretty surprised about the blanket pardon of 1500 people. >> enrique tarrio -- >> it goes along with what the vice president said. he thought again just a couple days ago making a statement it wasn't going to be a blanket of pardons. i can tell you what's happening outside the jail tonight, i don't think the white house wants that. i

i think also what's interesting is you mentioned the abraham accords, maria and i think about jared kushnernd his role in all of that. this is part of the family dynamic that i think also powers him and there's also -- we also saw the arms sale agreement with the saudis back in donald trump's first term. again, that goes back to peace. that goes back to security. nobody i think wants peace in the middle east more than right now saudi arabia and of course the uae. maria: and i would be watching the saudis with the abraham accords under president trump's watch because i'm sure that he is going to try to get more players involved in the abraham accords in these upcoming four years. we'll take a break. when we come back we're all in on artificial intelligence, it's taking center stage here in davos this year, particularly after president trump's historic $500 billion stargate project. open a.i. one of the backers of the venture and the company's chief financial officer sarah fryer is with me to talk more about it. you're watching "mornings with maria" live from the world economic forum in davos

but that was supposed to be jared kushner's original job. he has legacy on his mind. how is that motivated by what he does? we see starting today. i just hope people learn the lesson of the past what he says matters less than with most people in his position of power. obama says i'm going to do this. it's a good chance. that's what's coming down the pike. we don't know that with donald trump and i do hope that at least our brothers and sisters in the media get it right this time, which is wait to see what do they well, we're going to see in a matter of hours. i mean, by all atter accounts last night at his rally here in washington, d.c., he said he would sign nearly 100 executive orders. signed one. >> on his first day in office, first time around. that would be you know, upgrade. >> and in terms of the number of executive orders and what this executive orders will be, will have a lot to say as well about his priorities. you heard that at least nearly 10 of them will have to do with immigration and the crisis on the border, which polls show. >> and this election showe

it was a huge historic accomplishment, and jared kushner believes that saudi normalization would have happened had trump been given a second term right after the first. i wind you are what you think of antony blinken's comments that new recruits have effectively replaced what israel has done. if that's the case, you have to think that israel is worried and concerned, hamas is not gone, they're not nullifyed, they're here to stay. what does it mean the ceasing of the war yet hamas is still strong. >> yeah, i think that's exactly what trey was pointing out. the pushback inside israel is one, the palestinians being exchanged, who are they, and could they plug back into the terror network that has caused israel so much grief and turmoil over the years, and two, hamas hasn't changed its colors. it hasn't changed its stripes as far as what it wants to do. and its stated goal, and negotiating with hamas is a double-edged sword. you don't know if they go back to the way they were automatically. i think there's a lot to learn from this deal, and hopefully, most importantly the hostages get rel

we saw president trump pardon his son in law's father, jared kushner's father, on old charges, but we'venever seen a preemptive pardon like this for president's family other than the hunter biden pardon just a few weeks back. and what it says is, of course, that what president biden on the way out said is he's convinced that the new president will target his family, and he wasn't going to allow that to happen. but there are a lot of people, including democrats, who are nervous about this. they worry about the precedent that it sets that it in fact undermines, rather than upholds, the rule of law. to have a president simply say that my own family is, you know, absolved of any crimes, even though nobody has actually identified any crimes for the five people who were, you know, named yesterday, pablo ramos and peter baker. >> thank you both so very much. up next, marco rubio just sworn in as secretary of state after receiving unanimous senate approval while trump's nominee for treasury secretary just cleared a senate committee moments ago. plus, new reporting about what we could see at toda

. >> i know, you know, jared kushner was involved last time. we've seen some people that were associates of him coming in to this middle east conversation. but the real question is sort of what actually is going to change now. and i don't i don't know that we totally know what that is going to be yet. >> basil, let's go back to the last point jeremy made. you know, lots of people now are looking at this and saying, who should get credit for this? sort of like jeremy, former congressman from new jersey, democratic congressman tom malinowski, basically said they both should be given credit. >> obviously, the intensive diplomacy, but also the public and private pressure donald trump was putting as well. >> what do you think the united states should get credit? there you go. >> plain and simple, right? and in a perfect world, you would you would want an outgoing administration and incoming administration to say, even if we disagree on some of the details about how we move forward, our collective interest is that we bring everybody home. we bring am

since leaving the white house, trump's son in law jared kushner's private equity firm has received areported $2 billion from the saudis, and the trump organization is now planning to build a luxury tower in jeddah. saudis up and coming destination eric trump posted this video just last month with the message incredibly proud to officially launch a project that has been underway for many months. trump tower, jeddah and tonight, trump claims the saudis are going to invest at least 600 billion to maybe $1 trillion, as you heard trump say, in the united states. there are, though, some leaders taking a different tack with trump tonight, mexico's president making it clear that she is in no rush to roll out the red carpet for a trump state visit. >> entonces en. >> su momentito. >> one thing at a time. there is no need to get ahead of ourselves. >> el presidente and tonight, this danish lawmaker did not mince words when it comes to the president and greenland. >> let me put it in words. you might understand mr. trump. off. >> and out front, now that danish member of european parliament who

and despite removing himself from the west wing this time around, his son in law, jared kushner, foundedrivate equity firm that does a whole lot of business with foreign governments. and he's also in partnership with the trump organization. but i want to take a closer look at the patriarch and some of his more recent business ventures. he's been making announcements on his social media platform, truth social, part of his media company. and by the way, he's the majority owner of it. he also has his own crypto exchange, world liberty financial, and he. and just ahead of his swearing in, he released his own meme coin that is now worth tens of billions of dollars. i want to discuss it with tim o'brien, bloomberg opinion senior executive editor and trump biographer. okay, tim, it is no surprise that donald trump wants to make money. people have sort of many people aren't happy with it, but but it's a foregone conclusion. but i want to talk about crypto and i know lots of people don't like it, don't want to hear about it. but shouldn't we care about the fact that people could be buying up his

or will it be the trump who, with his son in law jared kushner, crafted and released the most detailed plan for a two state solution since bill clinton's administration? and i should say, tom, you made very clear in that writing that you don't think it's a final plan, but you think that it's a great conversation starter, for which trump is often not given credit. >> well, mike, you know, the way i see it right now is that donald trump has an opportunity for and the aspiration for winning a nobel peace prize. god bless him. it would be it would be great if he could achieve that. his ambitions for a nobel prize are the fuze that blows up benjamin netanyahu's government. okay. because the last thing netanyahu wanted was this cease fire. we know that this could have happened a long time ago. he wasn't the only obstacle. hamas was, too, but he was a big obstacle. he wanted a forever war, because a forever war is what keeps him in power and forestalls what is going to be a commission of inquiry on the failures of how this war even started? many, but not all of which lie with him. so so trump

know, during the first term, his first term, he he gave waivers to about 25 people, including jared kushner. there were a number of people who never finished their completing their sf 86. and the and the information that the fbi needed, and they were given clearances by donald trump. >> evan perez, alayna treene elie honig, thanks so much. coming up, the political firestorm in the wake of the california wildfires, should federal aid for the state of california come with conditions at this time of crisis, how should california leaders respond to the criticism? a democratic governor who confronted disaster in his state will join us next trump's cabinet picks the candidates you've heard about for months. >> go before the senate. who will get the votes? >> i think we have great people. >> follow the trump confirmation hearings. follow the facts, follow cnn. >> welcome to the nauta network. they switch to juniper's a.i. native network. now everyone's so productive they're operating at a higher gear. >> now their network is self-configuring, self-protecting and self-healing. so their i.t. team de

you do see the children along with eric's wife lara trump but jared kushner is not out there yet and trump's husband isn't sitting in the front row so not clear what the seating is but mostly you can see this is filled out. >> we heard this song brass and glory and according to what we heard there. of course, these are the opening bars, potentially, of hail to the chief. >> ladies and gentlemen, welcome the 50th vice president of the united states of america, vice president jd vance. ♪ >> that is the brand-new vice president jd vance and his wife, the first -- second lady, usha vance and their three children and their daughter was covered with something familiar with anybody who has had a toddler and atring-in remony . >> she does still have them on. >> that is relatable. you could see her ban-aids on her hand. >> i don't know if they are princess ban-aids but good luck getting them off or telling her she can't have them. >> you don't often see the three little ones with their parents and obviously it is very difficult to have young children out and about in this kind of political en

trump gave a pardon to jared kushner's dad and now is making him ambassador to france. like the idea that that trump is looking for, like other recent presidents to decide what's morally and politically acceptable when it comes to pardons is ridiculous. he pardoned paul manafort. he, you know, interfered in roger stone's sentencing and got michael flynn's plea over. i mean, the guy anyway, the idea that there's any sort of like, moral calculus that involves a comparison of donald trump to anybody on these things, i just think is not living in reality. and i think that biden realistically can count on the fact that trump is not going to act in good faith, that if he's going to put in an attorney general who at the republican national convention said, yeah, lock her up. i love that if he's going to put somebody like kash qanon patel and the head of the fbi who says he's going to abolish the fbi and turn it into a museum of the deep state, i mean, yeah, you're not talking about a good faith cast of characters. who's planning on using the criminal justice system in a way th

their names are ivanka trump, jared kushner and donald trump.rom just getting mowed down. but so many people wanted to be part of this administration desperately. >> i'm laughing because he demands loyalty, but he doesn't return loyalty. so why would i take a chance wanting to work for him? >> the standard on what is acceptable has been depressingly relocated. so during the whole campaign, it was like clear to me at least, that the only people who were willing to stand up and say proudly, at least for the bulk of it, that they were with donald trump, were people who were largely considered politely freaks and outcasts, just in terms of the politicians who were willing to do this right. there was a clear line of like, this is this is too much. this, again, is too much. i think this connects, though, to the money. right? so the money has washed all of this stuff. it's remarkable. and the money is washing all of this because it's going to work for the money. and so if you don't have shame, i say this to you all the time. it's pull the string in my

when jared kushner got $2 billion from the saudis. >> yeah. so one of the things, again, i think that one of the things that we have to be mindful here is that all politicians play this game where they say the rich, you know, especially with democrats, the rich should pay their fair share. >> and josh is right, joe biden has been in office and the rich have only gotten richer under joe biden. it happens though, under every single president, whether it's republican or democrat. it is just democrats. their mantra is that the rich should pay more. i thought that for biden's speech. now, biden came into the came into the white house with a lot of promise. he's been in office since about the same time as what i think the ford pinto was an actual vehicle that was back in the 70s. he came in office with this, this, these number of years of experience. and what you saw during the biden administration. unfortunately for him, and unfortunately for democrats, was a lot of underperformance. i thought that they thought the 2020 midterms, where biden was da

it started with russia, if you're listening, and it ended with jared kushner's $2 billion saudi investmentnow we're. >> i think it's up to 3.5 billion. >> yeah. now we're in his second administration, where donald trump is surrounding himself by a bunch of doj's. he started with with musk and ramaswamy as his two doj's. he just lost ramaswamy. he's bringing in altman. he's bringing in others. but the truth is he's going to manipulate them and they're going to manipulate him. and we're going to see democracy for sale. i mean, the big progressive conversation here is to get money out of politics and get corporate america out of the white house. >> you know, yesterday was the 15 year anniversary of citizens united, and that's what brought us here tonight. gentlemen, thank you all very, very much. when we come back, i need you to pay attention to this. do not go to bed. don't go to the bathroom. don't get a drink. this matters. government websites are starting to vanish under donald trump. that's not a partizan statement. it's a fact. one of them offered free information, not advocacy informat

, as well as jared kushner's father charles kushner are boarding the motorcade.we have a foreign-policy angle we need to discuss. joining us now, i'm pleased to say, sir peter westmacott, former ambassador to the united states, france, and i believe turkey as well. sir peter: yeah. kriti: quite the resume. peter, i want to start with, how do you interpret a second donald trump administration? is it with the same roadmap as the first? sir peter: kriti, good to be with you again. i think it will be different. last time around, he did not really think he was going to win. he was not ready for it. he did not have a team of like-minded people ready to examine his agenda, whatever it was. this time around, he was pretty sure he was going to win. he has lined up a lot of supporters and donors, and political allies to fill some of the important positions he needs in order to move ahead. so i think we will find he will do a lot of things he says he will do. i don't know at what speed, but i think the rest of the world is ready for donald trump to do more of what he said h

and lara, lara did an amazing job at rnc and working well with the family and working well with jared kushner, has done something that helped this country, prison reform that we need. >> all right, steve, you have a show to record, and story for the technical difficulties, thank you very much. >> we've got a quick word from our sponsors and my colleague jonathan martin will be on stage here, enjoy, everyone. thank you so much. [inaudible conversations] >> well, good morning, everybody. i'm jason grumet the american clean power association. politico knows how to warm up a room. with obvious intent this reflects inflection points in our democracy. every four years we have a challenge to metabolize the aggression and division inherent in any election and rise to the challenge of a divided country. the american clean power are to be active participants in this and we're pleased to have a role in sponsoring discussions we're having today. i think it's well-known that energy policy is going to be a priority in the trump administration and the nation and our industry have a lot at stake. electricity
