but in 2002, journalist ron marsico reported a different story. >> jim lied. jim didn't lie well. he was looked at as a quid pro quo for kushner's political contributions, and i wrote a story about how charlie kushner had lobbied hard for this job. a few days later, i got a call from one of mcgreevey's operatives who said, ron, i want to set the record straight. charlie kushner did not lobby for that job. charlie kushner demanded that job. >> ron, determining what's an illegal quid pro quo versus just shady politics can honestly be difficult. but what's clear is that kushner bankrolled mcgreevey's campaign. people were right to be concerned about any potential conflict of interest. and when the new jersey state senate summoned charles kushner to explain himself, he backed out instead. almost nobody noticed except for this guy the u.s. attorney, chris christie. after looking more closely at why kushner might have turned down the plum gig in order to not have to testify. chris christie discovered that not only did kushner funnel a suspicious amount of money to mcgreevey's campaign t

how did you start off, jim?ll, my first start was the jewish community library's jewish genealogical sarasota meeting and i went with the very vague pieces of information that my mother had given me and tried to figure out if any of it was true or documentation of anything. and fairly quickly discovered that one of the research ers found my grand father's world war i draft application that said theodore person withes, and in parentheses bernstein. and we always meed he was of scottish descent and born in brook len. turns out he was born in russia and immigrated in 1906. my mother had some confused pieces of that. and my grandmother who was parry san i knew well. and her made name was simone, simon. and her mother's name was david, david. and her maiden name was levy. it didn't get much more jewish than that. both my grandparents, both my parents were closeted/assimilated and my mother may believed that they may not have known go each other's jewish hidden identity. >> fascinating. marnie, for yourself? >> the fi

perot's in california. >> hey jim, thank for taking my call. happy holidays. >> sent to you. >> i want to talk to you about, as we move forward towards an economy putting a higher value on asset business models during sand out with a 42% annualized revenue growth over the past five years compared to starbucks at 7% with high potential investment, we are seeing upside in the coffee industry, are you a believer like i am? >> i have, i would probably say i am the foremost, earliest god who has been on board with dutch brose. everyone knows that. why? because i love the product. they are doing a lot of growth, it has just had a big spike, so we want to be careful but i have been on the dutch brose chain for a long time. ever since i had that annihilator, i didn't even have to go to sleep and when i left on sunday it was like fine i couldn't believe how much time i got to spend with my daughter. dutch brose. daniel in california. daniel? >> jim, i've been a club member for over a year now. >> that's what i want. >> help me beat the investing last ye

jim. we are the american culture association, our to take heart in honoring your father, who you see pictured on the screen the late william howard taft. roberts with the highest honor bestowed by congress for these purposes, the congressional gold medal for his service in world war two and before the gold medal was officially engraved and conveyed by congress in. of 2022. the us merchant marine has, since the beginning of our country. unfortunately, it is often seen as a significant service or as many of the other military services. the merchant marine has a long long list of heroes but we don't have a george patton we don't have a george washington. however, we do have a william howard taft roberts men who have never heard of us or know little about our service or those who might even want to approach what these men experience. and he was one of them. william roberts served in both the navy and the marine corps to serving in the multitude licensed staff positions in the merchant marine.

jim. so i don't think i would be overly concerned as a prosecutor with all this bizarre, in my view, inexplicable elevation of this person who is a cold blooded killer who left a family without a father. and here's why. there's two reasons. first of all, we have a jury selection process. this case will go to trial in all likelihood in manhattan for murder. and so people who are obviously biased, people who are posting these wild sort of, you know, praise of this guy on social media, they will be filtered out. the other thing that people need to understand is it's one thing to pop off on social media and praise this guy, or try to make him into some, some sort of hero. it's another thing to walk into a courtroom. it's a very solemn, serious, formalized setting to get sworn on to a jury, to take an oath, to do your job, to judge the case impartially, to be instructed by a judge that these are the laws you have to follow to sit there with 11 of your fellow civilians and to say, because i like

, jim, jim we're back thank you so much for having me on tonight. >> it is my pleasure i'm glad you'res going on tell me what is happening. >> caller: well we spoke a few months ago about disney an it is up big since. >> and i still like the stock. it gave you the boost in the dividend, that is nice. >> i hope you had some shares after we spoke. >> we have a ton of it for the travel trust bought some more we have a good size position thank you for bringing it up what is going on. >> today i'm calling about nike. we're looking at and it is hovering around a five-year low and i nibbled a little bit and i just want to have some confidence to really dump a load of cash into the stock what do you think? >> nike is so hard here is why. because, remember, footlocker reports this week and you have a new ceo in elliott hill, you have to give limb time i think that the stock could be down one more leg an then up so i urge you to stay with it. but if you get the second down, let's buy it because that is the bottom of the stock for nike to jeremy in california. >> caller: hey, jim, a huge fan. tha

that is one of jim clyburn's favorite quotes. always grounded in faith, family, and service, jim has guided south carolina and our country with a steady hand over the last half-century. i can say this without fear of contradiction. i would not be standing here as president making these awards if not for jim. i mean this sincerely. neither of us would be standing here without emily clyburn, a woman of enormous character that we all miss. we are a great nation, because we have people like jim and emily clyburn and our honorees today, all of them. my fellow americans, jim is the best. thank you. [applause] what i had to keep doing when writing these introductions is make them shorter and shorter and shorter because there is so much more to say about each of them. but we would be here for 12 hours. as you all enough -- but you all know how incredible they are, an incredible group of people. ladies and gentlemen, my fellow americans, i congratulate the presidential medal recipients and their families. i will make sure we provide the p

you just so jim the lawyer right. about was hesitant to take on these cases because he knew this dynamic that you drag out cases and also when people are sick or they're depending on the money to get by the longer you drag out these cases is if you're a blue collar worker you basically just have to capitulate because getting so sick like i yes you could if you could hold out for another ten years. yeah, you might you might get a million more dollars. but you don't have the luxury because you your medical bills. so you this happens in these kind of cases all the time you just have to settle eventually and also the famously in these cases work on a contingency. the plaintiffs lawyers, they work on a contingency contingency fee, meaning they only get they'll get paid if they win. so, jim the lawyer went, almost a decade without ever being paid so so the defense all the defense for these big corporations also know that, too. so they know that time is on. if they drag it out, time is on their side. so that's so jim was ver

stafford >> caller: hey, jim.oughts on texas specific land corps. >> this stock has been a horse it's royalties off of oil. i have to tell you i'm going to hold off tim in idaho tim. >> caller: boo-yah from beautiful boise, idaho >> must be great there >> caller: it is beautiful hey, jim, under armour kevin plank's back looks like they have a turn around going on. >> here's the way i look at it it's a great spec. we have to have a couple of good quarters nike's coming back with a vengeance but it is a spec but a good one marvin in california. >> caller: special boo-yah from southern california. i wanted to thank you and your very hard-working staff for doing such a great job and making the sacrifice it takes every day. >> we do have unbelievable staff. thank you so much. >> caller: thank you so last week i rang the register on some high flyers and i was able to pay off my student loans early. i want to thank you for that >> oh, you're quite welcome. >> caller: so my stock has a very low price to earnings ratio. sh

jim. yeah. and, and look a, are they, they've lost in afghanistan, as you say, they've lost in the vietnam with this, losing nato. know, this is another kind of loss. and they know what has defined it that way they've done, as you said, didn't have to, they didn't have to do that. that's what brussel brock obama said, hey, ukraine is not crucial to us. that push on the rush is most not proof with us. with the united states since world war 2. and certainly since the dissolution of the soviet union, it fixed itself was the world and it was for us to put in a real offence when the world uh, in a real sense. but it keeps losing wars. but those words weren't as important, and this is a war that all of europe and all of nato have put it's, it's, it's goods and it's credibility into and that's going to be gone. so that's why, you know, if trump wants to walk away from the american page to make a shot, i mean, there, there are ways of dealing with this. and it's just that the deep state is, is going to

that's right jim. and with the leader of of the president's party saying this, it seems to me that this declaration of martial law will be short lived. i what we're seeing here, i believe these are actually swat team members, although they do look like they're in military gear. >> i and it seems as if they are controlling access to the national assembly as you mentioned. and what that means is the members of the opposition party were going into we're trying to get into the national assembly to cast a vote because under the south korean constitution, martial law can be a declaration of martial law, can be revoked if a majority of the members of the national assembly vote to revoke it. so that's what the opposition is trying to do. and it sounds like they would get support from members of the president's own party if that's the case, then the president basically has no leg to stand on in a political sense yeah, i mean, it's very important context and thank you for the clarification on on the folks in the

so where does this go from here, jim? it is really uncertain because the democrats said they had a deal on the table that donald trump essentially forced to collapse then. now what? no one really knows which could mean a shutdown by midnight tomorrow night and a prolonged one at that. >> yeah, and those are republicans saying they're not afraid of a shutdown, which seems to be them owning that they're bringing about a shutdown, even though you have jd vance and others blaming this on democrats. manu raju, thanks so much. so joining me now is republican congressman don bacon from nebraska. and he's joining us from capitol hill. congressman, thanks so much for taking the time tonight. >> good evening jim. >> so you and i, we speak frequently and you're someone who negotiates with members of the other party. you voted for bipartisan deals on a number of issues, and there was a bipartisan deal yesterday killed by it. seems musk and trump. and now republicans find themselves in this pickle. was that the mistake they're killing

jim, your thoughts as well? yes, i think it's kind of wishful thinking to take the think that donald trump is kind of some kind of deep seated anti war peacenik. he's not, you know, even dedicated american exceptional list. he's going around. so i'm talking about putting you over that kind of mark analogy and, you know, kellogg, keith kellogg. i think he said his name was kelly, but keith kellogg is general that he's going to send us a representative to rush you about this. you know, he put forward a plan on this and the plan was we're going to intimidate everybody. we're going to go in and tell them printing after have peace, have peace talk. so we're going to stop bathing them. i'm going to tell the russians you have to have a ceasefire in line to contact them or we're going to, so we're going to up. all right. do you print? so i still think, i do not believe that donald trump or the people he's, he's, these are pointing is ministration or are any less american exceptional, if they believe they can intimidate

>> thanks for that intro, jim.ast year with the fiscal year we just finished we grew 12% in a market that in r&r, repair and remodel, in general has been flat. for us it starts with a pretty strong focus on the customer and a strong focus on converting our products, timber tech decking and azek trim, from wood, which is the predominant market in our types of products, launching new products and then using that to expand our shelf position in the marketplace. so we've got a formula that we've been focused on executing over the last few years that we believe between the things i just listed gives us an opportunity to at least grow 5 to 7% over the marketplace. >> that's amazing. i'm not hearing you say if the fed cuts this, if this happens, it just seems to be that you are in more control of your destiny than anyone in the segment that you play in. >> yeah. it's really important when people say, you know, we control what we can control. we believe growth is something that should be part of that equation. as part of t

jim. >> gary tuchman, thanks so much. ahead, growing fears over the spread of bird flu now in this country. we will have new details on how the virus is not only a concern for dairy cattle and poultry farms, but also cats, including possibly the one you may have at home. >> i want to be the greatest player that i could possibly become. how? >> how do you sleep at night on a mattress from mattress firm? so i sleep all night long. >> at the semiannual sale and clearance, get a free adjustable base with sealy. get matched at mattress firm. sleep at night. your life is pretty smart, but when it's time to eat, suddenly you feel out of sync. refresh your routine with factor chef prepared meals delivered with a tap ready in two minutes. imagine dinner on autopilot and enjoying tuscan tomato chicken without lifting a finger. upgrade your plate. optimize your nutrition. eat smart with factor. >> my moderate to severe crohn's symptoms kept me out of the picture. now i have skyrizi. i've got places to go and i'm feeling free. >> con

>> yeah, that's about it, jim.again, there's not going to be televised proceedings for the most part in new york state court when mangione arrives in the state of new york, he will be processed through the da's office. he will have his prints taken, all of his standard biographical information, that kind of thing. and then at some point, probably very soon, could be theoretically, could be later today. i don't think that's particularly likely, but it's possible. maybe tomorrow, maybe monday. he will make his first court appearance in new york state court. he'll be advised of the charges against him, including the first degree murder charge, the second degree murder charge, other weapons charges. he will enter a plea. certainly at this point, he will plead not guilty. and then the parties will set scheduling for discovery, which is the production of evidence by the prosecution to the defense. they may set a trial date. sometimes you do set a trial date right away. sometimes you don't. but that's what's going to happ

jim. yeah. and, and look at that, but they, they've lost in afghanistan, as you say, they've lost in a vietnam with, this is losing nato. know this is another kind of loss and they know what has defined it that way they've done, as you said, didn't have to, they didn't have to do that. that's what russel brock obama said. hey, ukraine is not crucial to us. that push on the rush is middle, the proof with us, with the united states since world war 2. and certainly since the dissolution of the soviet union, it is 6 itself. why is the world and it has for us to, to, in a real sense when the world a, in a real sense. but it keeps losing wars. with those words warren is important. and this is a war that all of europe and all of nato have put it's, it's, it's goods and it's credibility into and that's going to be gone. so that's why, you know, if prompt wants to walk away from it. so you may not getting paid. she may get shot . i mean, there, there are ways of dealing with this, and it's just that, but

i'm jim acosta in washington. we begin up on capitol hill, where lawmakers have only hours left to pass a spending deal before the federal government shuts down at midnight, and no one can get on the same page on what happens next. this morning, you can see this on your screen right now. president elect donald trump calling on congress to let the shutdown happen. now before he takes office next month. but house speaker mike johnson is holding critical meetings with gop members at this hour trying to get an agreement passed before the deadline. do you have a plan? >> is there going to be a different bill on the floor today? >> you got a vote today. yeah, we're we're expecting votes this morning. so y'all stay tuned. we got a plan. >> you have you've reached a new agreement. >> what's it the latest bill was shut down last night by nearly all democrats. >> but also dozens of republicans. now just days before christmas and the start of hanukkah, hundreds of thousands of federal workers could soon be furloughed, while

jim, you know, this.in memphis after the death of tyree nichols and talked to so many people countless people, as we were attending the city council meetings where they were pushing for reform on the local level and we heard these stories. in fact, i sat down with a black resident there who said that he had an encounter with the scorpion unit while he was sitting in his car outside of an apartment complex just waiting for his cousin to come to the car. you know these people i spoke to highlighted what they called stop and frisk, like arrests and that's exactly what we heard. kristen clarke there talking about that memphis police officers used excessive force on people who were doing minor offenses as as littering. you know, i talked earlier this hour of a man who had mental health issues and took a soft drink for $2. these are the type of incidents that are being highlighted by this report, saying that the memphis police officers operate using excessive force for the minor of the most minor of infractions

jim, let me say this one thing.do believe what she did will see other artists try to do, because we do know that the that netflix has the same christmas day games. at least two games on christmas day next year that will be a coveted spot to actually get if you are a performer. based on what she did. >> yeah. i mean, and then rise above the audience like several hundred feet. it was kind of cool. you're a big nba fan, even bigger lakers fan, and i won't take issue with that. as a knicks fan right now, lebron holds the nba record for most christmas day games played. he had some, it seemed, hurt feelings about the nfl games. he needed to get off his chest. have a listen. >> i love the nfl. i love the nfl. but christmas is our day. >> i mean, a little rich for him who's, you know, been a little bit into promotion through the years, you might say. but i mean, is this the beginning of a bigger battle? >> i you absolutely bet your bottom dollar it is, jim, because my lakers, as you just mentioned a moment ago, used to own

>> well, jim, very unusual legal arguments, to say the least. and let's talk about what the legal standard is to seek a stay. the legal standard is irreparable harm. that's one aspect. that's one prong. there. you can talk about the first amendment issue. that is a very valid concern and something the supreme court can take up as this case works its way through the appellate courts. the second is likelihood of success on the merits. we see him actually in writing, put that aside and say, we're not really going to comment on whether or not this is violative of first amendment, whether or not national security concerns actually overcome that burden of strict scrutiny. we're not even going to talk about it. that prong that's required. instead, we hear about his negotiating skills. instead, we hear about how he had great success using tiktok during the election. so to me, and from the legal perspective, that is not sufficient to fulfill that second prong, seeking a stay. and again, this doesn't mean that there isn't an inquiry by the supreme court a

>> not just bipartisan, jim, but also tripartite. congress, the president and an appeals court have all said that this law is valid. and the reason that this law is valid is that it is meeting and national security imperative. xi jinping has called influence operations the smokeless battlefield, and tiktok is his most important weapon. it is the dominant media and information platform for gen z. they are consuming huge amounts of content on that platform, and that content is being brokered for them by an algorithm that the chinese communist party controls. now in china, that algorithm shows chinese children educational content, and it limits the amount of time they can spend on the platform in the united states. it shows american kids anti-western, anti-american content, and it keeps them scrolling for hours on end. this is undermining the ideological coherence of the next generation of americans, and we have every reason to insist that while people can post whatever they want, the the manner by which that content reaches eyeballs is

one quick thing, jim jordan. mr.ass and wage earners and small businesses and i think trump tax cuts 2.0 must be in the first reconciliation bill. in fact, i don't believe you'll get two reconciliation bills and i don't understand it. that was his promise. we need a blue collar boom. we need to reward the working class coalition and enjoy them, jim jordan. >> i don't care if it's 1, 2, 3 or 15 and 3 is probably the northeast we're allowed and i don't care about the number but doing what we told the voters are going to do. i say all the time we make all this complicated >> no one did it better than president trump and he'll get done what he said and we have to help him and if that's one bill, two bills, i'm okay with that. larry: should be the first bill. first thing. the first thing. come on, jim, you're supply cider. the tax cut, the tax cut argument is so important. those people need better take home pay around the kitchen table. that's why they voted for him. >> fair enough. if we can get it all done in one, great

biden is next cheryl we're going to see a pardon of his brother jim >> wondering if president is in language from the hunter biden pardon. because this it was a very broad pardon encounter, so covers offenses quote he committed or may have committed, or taken part of dating back to beginning of 2014 that was burisma, again when comey says tip of the iceberg with james biden and family, then, it is true biden could put out a blanket advanced pardon for james biden even though not criminally charged approximately what does this mean for pam bondi, kash patel "the wall street journal" writes about kash patel fbi retribution, they said look at fbi visas, the worst in a we've seen that the court carter page steel dossier kash patel could come in if gets confirmation as pam bondi could they have to deal with this mess, again unless james biden pardon comes, we will see. maria: in my view, in my opinion, i think president trump is not going to bother with hunter biden i think bigger fish to fr.c. i do think kash patel comes in looking for accountability for the russia collusion lie i spoke
