and of course the democrats cheering for her as well, the same for jd vance and tim walz. it took just about half an hour, stark contrast to four years ago when it took nearly 15 hours because rioters at this hour were approaching the u.s. capitol. donald trump had said a little after 1:00 on that afternoon of january 6th, if you don't fight like hell, you're not going togo have a country anymore. within a little more than an hour, folks had breached, had breached the building using a helmet and a board to break the glass in a small alcove and opening the doors to the senate wing. although you can see watching that happen, this has never been must see tv in the past, it is now because of the stark contrast of the day that will live in infamy from four years ago, that january 6th, the incredible contrast to what we saw today. back with me, nbc's ryan nobles reporting from capitol hill. also joining us is former democratic senator from missouri, claire mccaskill and carlos curvelo, both analysts who have witnessed certifications. jeremy peters and michael hardaway are in stu

jd vance of the state of ohio has received 312 votes.alz of the state of minnesota has received 226 votes. this announcement of the state of the vote by the president of the senate shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons elected president and vice president of the united states. each for a term beginning on the 20th day of january 2025. and shall be entered together with the list of the votes on the journals of the house and the senate. thank you very much. >> all right, there it is, the final gavel coming down there, and donald trump has secured 312 electoral votes to vice president harris' 226. when she announced the winner, the republicans stood up and gave a standing ovation for the victor, donald j. trump. let's listen in. >> resolution number two, 119th congress, the chair declares this joint session dissolved. thank you. >> the joint session has been dissolved. grace there by the vice president. that cannot be an easy thing to do. you put decades into a political career, and you get an opportunity to run for presid

southern california. >> that was california governor gavin newsom responding to vice president elect jd vance's criticism, saying there is a serious lack of competent governance in california. california's governor has invited vance and donald trump to california to see the destruction caused by the wildfires. both have politically blamed the governor for the devastation. with just a week left before trump assumes office, questions are arising as to how his administration will respond to the tragedy, which continues. fema administrator deanne criswell is with me now. let's talk about what's happening right now. winds are whipping up again, dangerously, potentially 70 mile per hour winds. the largest of the fires, only partially contained. fema has promised to pay for 100% of the recovery process for six months. what will that pay for during those 180 days? what should people expect? >> sara, i just want to start by just emphasizing that last point that you made, that this is such a dangerous situation still. >> and i just want to make sure that everybody is listening to their local officials so

. >> bill: mere is jd vance. there is heat coming down on the government for helping these folks out. this is what he said on sunday with shannon bream. >> i do think the federal government has to do a better job. president trump is committed to doing a better job with disaster relief. true for the hurricane victims and flood victims in north carolina and true for the fire victims in california. we need competent, good governance. >> bill: two massive stories within a couple of months. what would you say to the incoming vice president? >> that fema is committed to helping everybody. we're very grateful for the bipartisan support of the supplemental which gave us the funding we need to continue to support everybody that's been impacted, right? the people of california that have now lost everything, to the people from florida, georgia, north carolina, south carolina impacted by hurricanes helene and milton to the 179 different disaster declarations we did last year alone. we need this bipartisan support to continue

nine times more than donald trump, nine times more than jd vance, i guess eight times now. more than donald trump jr. i think that look what is completely forgotten in this conversation is a couple of things. one, look, there is a rich history and tradition that exists in greenland. and it is not simple. obviously, the relationship between denmark and greenland is centuries old now, and it is politically complicated, there's no doubt. and they want nothing more than to have a closer relationship to the united states. we have had a close relationship with greenland over the years, both militarily as well as economically. they would welcome further american investment, further american private investment in greenland. i know that for a fact that is just demonstrably true. and certainly i think they would welcome further military engagement in denmark, american military engagement in denmark as well. but remember this, jonathan, i think the point that's forgotten here far too often is that greenland is nato, because denmark, the kingdom of denmark, is one of the founding membe

vice president-elect jd vance has been strong proponent of blocking this deal.onald trump that has been absolutely clear that tariffs are coming to protect american business, america first. japan has a problem, it's their problem, not our problem. they have overcapacity, they have a shrinking population. bad for them. maria: but why would a deal with your company, cleveland-cliffs, be any better? i mean, if you're getting together with u.s. steel, don't you control the dissemination and the price of steel for u.s. automakers? is that anti-competitive? >> of course not. of course not. there are several other companies, new core is bigger than cliffs, steel dynamics is almost the same size as clevcleveland-cliffs. a lot of imported steel comes to the country. aluminum as well. we clearly have a situation that nippon steel cannot and will not buy u.s. steel. that's u.s. steel. it's an american corporation, should continue to be american. and if cleveland-cliffs will be able to buy or not, that's a different story. but the story is legally by cfius the deal has been

donald trump and jd vance are simply right when they say

plus, vice president elect jd vance seemingly breaks with donald trump on pardons for some of the januaryters. the question is, will the president elect use his clemency power on day one like he promised during the campaign? and a ban on tiktok is set to take effect in just a matter of days. the question is, will the platform, with 170 million american users really go away for good? it's way too early for this. good morning and welcome to way too early, the show that's kicking off a very busy week in washington. i'm ali vitali on this monday, january 13th. and we'll start, of course, with the news. we begin this morning with the devastating wildfires in southern california. as the death toll rises to 24, the eaton fire is now one of the deadliest in the state. officials say it's currently 27% contained. while its spread has slowed, the fire has burned through more than 14,000 acres. the palisades fire is only about 13% contained and has burned nearly 24,000 acres. it's still threatening residential areas. the hurst fire is 89% contained, and the other two fires that broke out last week ar

>> jd vance appeared to try to tamp down concerns that president trump will withhold aid.from the president-elect, most notably september 2024, where trump primitively threatened to withhold wildfire aid if newsom did not reverse course on some water regulations, notably one trump would like to divert more water to california farmers. i am watching congress on this one because fema recently saw its disaster relief replenished in december but a chronic concern is that fema is going through a backlog of cases and likely will not have enough money for wildfires to cover it. you're likely gearing up for additional supplemental disaster relief to be passed, likely in march when congress considers the next government spending deadline. over the weekend, the number two republican told cbs news that aid will likely come with strings attached. what that means for california policy remains to be seen. jonathan: appreciate the update. this continue the conversation. there are wide-ranging estimates at analysts work to calculate potential financial impact on real estate and insurance

donald trump and jd vance are simply right when they say that europe needs to do more to defend its ownontinent. it is myopia to pretend otherwise with russia and the march and so this government will lay out a clear pathway to reaching 2.5% of gdp on defence. this is a figure unless we forget that the last labour government met and has never been met by the tories since david cameron's cuts and withjohn healy, we will lead and we will challenge to convince all of our nato allies that rising defence spending is a strategic necessity. and third, we must forge closer partnerships with the global south because the world is larger than the north atlantic and mediterranean, we cannot divorce the euro atlantic from the indo—pacific and the kremlin has spread its tentacles across the world spewing out misinformation on every continent. dispatching mercenaries to africa seeking closer relations. a grim vision of unending competition is not compelling to the vast majority of states. we must avoid repeating the mistake of the early cold war period where the west lost ground to the so—called third

. >> en cuatro dÍas de celebraciÓn, donald trump planea su regreso a la casa blanca junto con jd vanceerrarÁ el martes con servicio nacional de oraciÓn. >> en minutos, comienza noticiero nacional. ilia nos tiene un avance de lo que podemos esperar. >> hola, saludos para todos. continuamos en alta harina con la cobertura de los dise en dios forestales que dejan 24 personas muertas. la ciudad de los Ángeles estÉn alerta por la llegada de fuertes vientos que pueden complicar la labor de los bomberos. con lo Último de los incendios en los Ángeles y otros hechos del dÍa, los esperamos en minutos en el noticiero univisiÓn. >> si desea reportar problemas en su vecindario, pÓngase en contacto con nuestro equipo de noticias univisiÓn 14 enviÁndonos un mensaje de whatsapp. seguimos monitoreando lo ocurrido en el condado de los Ángeles. le recordamos que hay una bandera roja hasta el dÍa miÉrcoles. hay una advertencia de la hasta maÑana. abrigue muy bien a sus hijos. maÑana ya lo sabe, abrigarse bien. >> recordarle que se formen cristales en el vehÍculo. >> y esos son batallosos. paulina: por lo

jd vance now, try to stabilize pieces. that article that tom hollman is privately signalling to the gop. they may not have the bold deportation force. >> jesse: if anybody needs a volunteer, greg can be an ice agent and get you out of the country fast. judge jeanine. >> judge jeanine: i want to be on that team. i'm excited the president coming in recognizes the first order of government is the protection of its people. he's going to do that by closing the border. do that my making sure that you know, the illegals who were committing crimes are deported and they will be deported. i don't care how big it is. they are going to be deported and we start making changes in statutes across this country as it relates to crime and criminals be without bail. school gender policies. i'm looking forward to those changes. i'm looking forward to changes in vaccine mandates. many of us are sorry we took the vaccine to come back to work. there will be 100 next monday compared to four in 2017 when he became president. it's all good. i'm exc

elon musk is acting in a more prominent role in terms of hill negotiations than even jd vance, the formerenator. elon musk has no governing experience. he is out-dictating fiscal policy and legislative priorities. i guess i wonder from your vantage point how long you think that lasts and what you see in the strange for lack of a better term love triangle between jd vance, elon musk and donald trump. how feasible is that in the long term? >> a couple of things. when elon musk thinks he is president musk, that will be a problem. he doesn't see room for another alpha male. so that seems like a collision course. number two, elon musk does not have governing experience and you have to look at his twitter feed to see some of the things he has suggested and vivek ramaswamy suggested that are not only non-starters but the kind of things that would become a political disaster for any of the members of congress voting for them. so when they start to understand how government works, perhaps they will adjust a little bit and figure out what they can and can't do. elon musk has been given the head pos

there he was first bumping jd vance.nt to listen to what senator cassidy had to say after that vote. >> our constitution and our country is more important than any one person. i voted to convict president trump because he is guilty. >> you know, had trump been convicted, had more republicans in the senate voted the way that senator cassidy did, he would not have been eligible -- he wouldn't have been able to run this time around. he wouldn't be able to be president again. what does it say to you, though, about how republicans are viewing trump's reemergence into washington? >> but he wasn't convicted in the senate. >> well, if senator cassidy had his druthers, he would have been. >> he wasn't. he had a trial. he was impeached. it was a political process. he wasn't convicted in the senate. this issue of democracy on january 6th has been litigated not only in the court system, for the big, long investigation maybe some heard of it, jack smith. i don't know if anybody remembers that name. that went on for years. nothing cam

i think jd vance is going to want to run.o i think there is a lot of future political ization going on here and making it hard for him. >> what do you think? i completely agree with that. and jd vance is almost certainly going to run in 2028. so in some ways this is maybe the first firing shot of that potential matchup. >> oh boy. okay. all right. let's turn back now to what's happening here in washington, d.c., where in just seven days, donald trump will be heading back into 600 pennsylvania avenue this week will begin to shape who will enact his agenda when he starts his second term. his cabinet picks are beginning their senate confirmation hearings. our cnn team writes this, quote, what distinguishes this round of confirmations is the heightened expectations that trump's picks will present not just their own expertise, but a clear and unwavering loyalty to the president elect's agenda, a public display of fealty that was not always assured during his first term. indeed, those first term hearings sounded at times like this.

shifting to other news now, vice president elect jd vance is taking a stance on whom he thinks shouldd not receive presidential pardons for their actions during the capitol riot on january 6th, 2021. vance made some new comments during an interview on fox news sunday, breaking slightly from what president elect donald trump has laid out in his pardon plans. >> i think it's very simple. look, if you protested peacefully on january the 6th and you had merrick garland's department of justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned. if you committed violence on that day, obviously, you shouldn't be pardoned. and there's a little bit of a gray area there, but we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law. and there are a lot of people, we think, in the wake of january the 6th who were prosecuted unfairly, we need to rectify that. >> in a december interview with nbc news, trump said that on his first day in office, he would pardon his supporters who joined the riot, adding they have been prosecuted in a, quote, very nasty system. unlike vance, trump did no

and yesterday, his vice president, jd vance, formally resigned as a member of the u.s. senate. ohio's republican governor now says he plans to announce his pick to fill vance's vacant senate seat early next week. >> i'm looking for someone, first of all, who will be a worker in the u.s. senate. also, someone who can win a primary and who can win a general election in ohio. [music] >> well, vance was elected to a six year term in 2022. several top republican lawmakers in ohio are reportedly on the governor's shortlist to replace him. >> the supreme court appears likely to uphold a law that will ban tiktok here in the u.s. next weekend. after listening to arguments on both sides. most of the justices seem to agree. the popular app, whose parent company is based in china, poses serious national security risk. despite concerns of restricting free speech. >> we thought that the argument went very well. the justices are extremely engaged. they fully understand the importance of this case, not only for the american citizens of this country, but for first amendment law generally and the

jd vance obviously parted ways with the republican caucus in a number of important ways on u.s. foreign policy, not least of all with respect to ukraine. i think that some of those statements and commitments made by trump and vance helped propel their candidacy, especially in contrast to the harris-walz campaign, which embraced a lot of the orthodoxies assumed by president biden with respect to ukraine or kind of campaigning with liz cheney, things like that. so there was a studied contrast between both campaigns, and i think that trump and vance benefited from breaking. host: can you be specific about what you mean by the orthodoxy. guest: i think orthodoxies assume a sort of almost indefinite assurance of nato. not that i think trump and vance are talking about stepping away from the alliance, but asking more of our european allies and partners to reserve their commitments. i do think that trump talking about ending the war in ukraine presents a sort of studied contrast from president biden's support at least rhetorically to the ukrainian cause. and i think that with respect t

jd vance has indicated that this will make it smoother going through the senate, so that is the play here. go big or go home. katie: we have seen that play out and work or not work in other countries, like france and south korea dealing with political instability over budget. in brazil, currency assets tanked because of their fights. in the u.s. we have this red sweep unified government. doesn't make the u.s. different from those other countries? >> anything can go wrong. just because you have the seats. we saw that with the democrats, when they try to do bill back better, and they lost two members of -- in the senate of their own party, essentially forcing them to break it up into smaller pieces. republicans are saying we can do better than that, get the one big bill through. we will find out soon, but if i had to bet on it, from where i'm sitting right now i bet they pull off something close to what they are looking to do scarlet:. the question is always how you pay for all of these initiatives? through efficiency measures. do you see the do ge efficiency members paying for it? ste

jd vance, the president, vice president elect, was on fox yesterday saying that these violent january 6th rioters should not receive pardons. let's listen to that. >> i think it's very simple. look, if you protested peacefully on january the 6th and you had merrick garland's department of justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned. if you committed violence on that day, obviously, you shouldn't be pardoned. and there's a little bit of a gray area there, but we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law. and there are a lot of people, we think, in the wake of january the 6th who were prosecuted unfairly, we need to rectify that. >> after that interview, vance appeared to try to clean it up in a post on x, saying some of the rioters were, quote, unjustly locked up, including people who were, quote, provoked and got a garbage trial. pete, what are your thoughts on this? i mean, i think that of all the things that trump is going to do on january 20th or after, afterward, this has the potential to divide the country like any like unlike anything else

kamala harris won't invite jd vance's wife and kids over to the naval observatory, where she's moving children into. they've never been in it before, a clear, sort of petty snub. then when she tweeted out the picture of the carter funeral, she clearly cropped out trump out of the picture. i just i think this isn't just she didn't cooperate. >> that was a picture that the carter family released. well, he's behind a pillar. but but yes, he was not in the photo. >> look, i just you can blame it on trump and say, well, he treated biden terribly and i agree. i think biden should have gone to the inaugural or trump should have gone to biden's inaugural as well. i don't care whether she comes or not, but i do think some of this pettiness is beneath. >> can i just ask the people, the people kamala harris of it all? >> let me let me just play, you know, not to explain it. she can do what she wants. she's a vice president. but here's what jd vance has said about her. >> it's that kamala harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won't even do an investigation into what happened, and she wants to

but here's what jd vance has said about her. >> it's that kamala harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won't even do an investigation into what happened, and she wants to yell at donald trump because he showed up. she can she can go to hell. >> but while we're not garbage for thinking that kamala harris has done a bad job, i think in a couple of days, the voters of new hampshire are going to take out the trash in washington, dc. >> and that person's name is kamala harris. >> okay, michelle obama represents me, and i'm glad that she's not. like, if she doesn't want to go, don't go, i hear. but i just feel like she has gone high. she's gone very high for a very long time. and i have said on this show before, when they go low, we need to match energy. we are in a different era of politics. also, donald trump doesn't want michelle obama at his inauguration, so he doesn't care. like let that be his day. he won. go govern michelle obama, go live your best life. represent the 92 of us who showed up for kamala harris. and if kamala harris has been more than graceful with presiding over the

so i think having had vice president, harris had jd vance there, it would have been a nice gesture andomething to build on. >> the people who will be there, though, are people who are certainly trying to get in good with trump. i mean, elon musk already certainly was there, raised a lot of money for him. but jeff bezos, mark zuckerberg, sam altman from openai, we've just heard is going, i think believe potentially tim cook is also going to be attending. a lot of these are people who either trump said some of them should be in jail or was famously, famously critical of them, or vice versa. what is your view as a member of congress with oversight of a lot of these contracts that that these guys have with the federal government? what's your view of that? >> well, attending the inauguration, i mean, that's i think, and donating, i think it's kind of normal. but there's a lot of financial interest involved here right now in that, for example, if tiktok is banned in the united states of america, where is that business going to go? it's going to all go to facebook and to meta. but, you know,

the house of representatives to count the electoral votes and certify the election of druchl and jd vancepresident of the united states. i offer my congratulations to president trump and vice president vance. republicans improved our margins nearly 90% of counties in the united states and grew support of nearly every democratic group. the republican coalition is broad and strong and growing. now the work begins of delivering on our agenda. mr. president, republicans are ready to go. we're committed to ending the biden biden-harris bothered crisis and -- border crisis. we are committed to discourage the actors fomenting instability join the world stage. we're committed to strengthening our economic and fiscal future, which includes extending tax relief for hardworking americans. we're committed to advancing american energy dominance to promote affordable energy and our national security. mr. president, the list goes on and we're getting right to work. along with advancing these priorities, we focus on getting president trump's cabinet up and running quickly by enslurg his -- ensuring that

vice president elect jd vance is seeming to couch trump's vow to pardon january 6th rioters on the first day in office at this point. >> reporter: yeah, vance said if someone committed violence on that day, they obviously should not be pardoned, but just last week, trump was asked specifically about people who attacked police officers and he did not answer directly. he talked about his plans to grant major pardons. more than 140 officers with seriously injured that day. linsey. >> linsey: thank you. >>> later in the broadcast, more from los angeles as communities come together to support those most in need. and just ahead, a frigid blast takes aim at half the country. windchills plummeting well below zero. my name's dan and i live here in san antonio, texas. i ran my own hvac business and now i'm retired. i'm not good being retired. i'm a pain in the neck. i like to be able to have a purpose. about three or four years ago, i felt like i was starting to slip. i saw the prevagen commercials. after a short amount of time taking prevagen, i started noticing a difference-- i stopped taking pr

. >> reporter: before a joint session of congress, with vice president-elect jd vance looking on, harris formally declaring trump the winner. >> the votes for president of the united states are as follows. donald j. trump of the state of florida has received 312 votes. kamala d. harris of the state of california has received 226 votes. >> reporter: after, the vice president calling it an important moment. >> it is the about what should be the norm and what the american people should be able to take for granted, which is that one of the most important pillars of our democracy is that there will be a peaceful transfer of power. >> reporter: that was not the case four years ago, when joe biden also won a resounding electoral victory, with a 7 million vote lead in the popular vote. but trump told his supporters to march to the capitol to disrupt the certification of the election. >> we're going to walk down, and i'll be there with you, because you'll never take back our country with weakness. >> reporter: trump's supporters storming the building, chanting "hang mike pence." >> hang mike penc

. >> greg: sore loser kamala is declining jd vance to the residency before they move in.ling people whose homes burned down to be patient, no leader has stepped up. she wants to run for governor of california? >> dana: she always fails to take an opportunity on the immigrations are for example. for in this case, could have said, joe, i got to go. put me in coach. i have to figure out. and say, gavin, what do you need? karen shut up. organize everything. there's an article in the "new york times" that says you think of the general who went in at katrina and said, he started cursing and telling everybody what to do. everybody said thank you. you need somebody that's calm in a crisis. she is somebody who i don't understand how you can be in politics for that long and not be able to not flub three sentences and put them together. as for not inviting jd advance from the a block, and pete hegseth didn't meet all with senates. they didn't hear back and no one refused. when it comes to this, the best way to deal with your own heart ache and your own heart break and i think she's

, how long you think that lasts and what you see in the strange love triangle between elon musk, jd vance, and donald trump. >> when president trump realizes that elon musk thinks that he is president musk, that's going to be a problem. there's not room for two presidents in the united states and donald trump doesn't see, you know, room for another alpha male at the head of his government. number one, that seems like a collision course that is going to happen. number two, to your point, elon musk does not have governing experience. you just have to look at his twitter feed to see some of the things he suggested in the vivek suggested. they are only nonstarters on capitol hill, but also the things that become a political disaster for any of the members of congress voting for them. when they start to understand how government works, they will adjust a little bit and try to figure out what it is they can't do. the third thing i would point out is, elon musk has given the head position or cochairmanship with vivek ramaswamy. i think senator mccaskill can tell you how much power blue ribbon co

coobecause that's when cbs faild to show president trump throughout the entire game and a jd vance ino come on guys for quick to blame it on a timing issue but i do not know we will see. because the board of directors urging shareholders to vote against a proposal to eliminate retailers dei program. i don't know i think costco's going to get with the program. big companies are getting rid of these dei programs they are a massive failure and a massive waste of money. done away with a meritocracy in our country. >> dei did not earn it. >> hunter biden awkwardly dodged questions about the shady business dealings on his way out of the presidential medal of freedom ceremony earlier today, watch. >> you might work greta by foreign dealings? >> nothing.

the vice president was taken directly from the senate, jd vance. for him, the net positive for him was not only did he get the person he wanted, he was personally able to ring him across. i think for trump, even though as chaotic as it was, and a slim as the margin is, that was a show of strength. i think of course that has to work. you saw this with the spending bill a few weeks ago, where he was hands-on. the flipside of that coin is if he is hands-on and it doesn't work, he can't be blamed, right? that blaine will have to fall on somebody. mike johnson doesn't want it to be him, either. i think whether it is speaker johnson or leader sue, trump will be involved in every step of the process and that's how he wants it to be. host: what's going to happen if the interests diverge? you brought up the spending bill. there is the spending bill pretty much done and then suddenly things change. guest: what you will see is a lot of these negotiations happening out in the open. it will be almost on social media. that's why johnson faces this sort of small

jd vance and pennsylvania and donaldtrump and lancaster, pennsylvania.ell you when i was on that stage with donald trump i was like what is happened to my life? it's the most amazing thing and that biggestx. blessing. i talked to present at that amazing interviews and obviously that was the biggestst thing i'm on that stage on a 5000 strong and lancaster, thank you, did an incredible job thankdn you pennsylvania. and cute scotty thank you to everyone who had the courage to go to that say to do it they did. i sent on that stage with donald trump i thought oh my goodness, this is the most vulnerable i've ever been in my life this is a couple months after beutler, pennsylvania the secret service everywhere and i go wow, this is scary. but then i looked to my two seats to the rightng was sitting there? you talk about fear. they tried to kill him more than once. they try to imprison him. every single time what did he do? he stood taller. he stood stronger. he's human. is there fear and there what happened on beutler would happen isis on property in florida? i

deliberations will not begin in earnest until january 20th when she has vacated the naval observatory for jd vanceo take up residence there. formally, i'm told those decisions and any decision about her political future, she's not in any hurry to make them. she's going to take her time once inauguration has happened. >> thanks to one and all. from an incoming leader to another on the way out. coming up, the pressure on canadian prime minister justin trudeau. what is behind mr. trudeau's intentions to step down? we'll go live to ottawa. first, the deadly snowstorm hitting the mid- atlantic and beyond. four people killed in traffic crashes as the snow and ice reeking havoc. why this is unlike many others. >>> we have about 24 hours before it gets so cold that the salt is not going to work. we need as much time and as much road to do as much work as possible throughout the course of today. >> our national lead now, the urgent warning from the governor of kentucky, andy bashir there, his state one of many hit by a winter storm that has more than 60 million americans under alert. the snow and freezing

i can tell you that vice president elect jd vance will be stepping down as senator as early as tonight. our sources are telling us that republicans will now have 51 members because, of course, west virginia governor justice has not yet been sworn in and he's still in west virginia so the numbers have gotten even slimmer for republicans in the senate as they try to move forward with planning out trump's agenda. on that note, a source tells me that last night it appears that the president elect was able to convince senate republicans to move forward on his agenda with this one big, beautiful bill as he likes to call it. to be prepared however, to split it into two in case things get bogged down. here's the president last night. >> whether it's two or one, the end result is the same. reporter: energy policy and expanding president trump's tax cuts and the debt ceiling and several republicans made the case for splitting this into two bills and not forced to vote on the debt ceiling. the president elect listened to them but didn't appear to budge. meanwhile we're watching what the senate do
