i'm a jim jim. this is alex is here a life from dawn also coming up know into the grief and bloodshed and gaza nearly 50 palestinians killed in his really attacks over the course of a day.

jim jim in pittsburgh. unfortunately i had to cut you off. we had to go to a break. but what you were saying is very interesting. and again, going back to the word had gemini, it either you have it or you don't, and that is the dilemma. the west is created for itself. and it's a bi partisan issue in the us. the elections don't have consequences when it comes to empire here. but that's a craven choice on the part of the west. russia wants security. and does it want victory? i suppose so, but they wants security. they want and security admin skill wanted security in december 21. it wants security. now that is never changed. but for the west, they need a strategic defeat of russia, which russia is denying. and that's the dilemma jim. well, i was going to say, look, when they invoke means, i think what they want to do is meant 3 or meant for i think they think they can get the russians to go along with the fact that on the basis of oh, that was biting support that was there for we'll be really good guys, we'll keep our word this time. you know, and i think you, i agree with you. i agree with i, i, that's what they're going to go for. i agree. and unless they get that, if, if russia ends up with the for less than premiere and neutralize nato, everybody's going to know who won whatever word they went. they use they use or not, and the europeans for free is up and say, we cannot allow that to happen or it's a loss. yeah, i see but, but, but, but, but jim, that is get an idea of logical choice. ok. it's not a real list choice. i mean, you know, i was a trained to story and up until 1945 great powers. sometimes what a war sometimes said loss. okay, that's what you know. and that's what happened here. everything is x, e

jim mcdonald. in the los angeles police chief jim mcdonald.— the los angeles police chief jim mcdonald. ghbours coming together to support one another and as chief of police i want to reassure you that the lapd remains committed to your safety and well—being as we move forward together. lapd has over 600 officers deployed to these areas with support from los angeles airport police, port police and the national guard, with 100 soldiers assigned to the palisades incident and we are very gratefulfor incident and we are very grateful for their support. excuse me. i want to just touch all in during the evacuation at the early stages, thousands of people fled their homes without notice and without much of anything but the clothes on our back, a traumatic experience for everybody involved. we try to be as compassionate as we could be by putting together escort that provided limited access for people to get into the area, very deliberately, and to be able to retrieve medication or pets in some cases. what we found was that that was successful for those we are where able to accommodate party numb

jim, jim, i know you must be exhausted because whenever something like this happens, you're the first person people call and you tell you're an expert, right? on these geopolitical issues and terror and security. so as our leading expert in this area, what do you think? yeah, i mean, i am how excited are you to talk about this right now? it's a lot of pressure on me. yeah. >> well, you know, i just don't know why this guy wasn't on anybody's radar. that's what always happens. these guys slip through the cracks. i mean, he posted on facebook that he wanted to kill his family. nobody saw that, you know? then he drove from texas to new orleans, 350 miles with an isis flag on his truck. yeah, nobody reported that. yeah. i mean, i get pulled over when i got tinted windows. this guy's got a flag, and nothing happens. well, look, that's what you live in a free society. that's what's going to happen, right? you know, i was walking around new york today with all the crowds. and i'm thinking at any point something like this could happen, which is crazy. yeah, it is crazy, you know? and like, the next time i'm going to be, well, i'm going to new york jets football game on sunday. and i was wondering, but i'm like, god, there's not going to be a big crowd there. >> i even got that one. yeah, yeah. it's because the jets aren't good. >> could be erin's last game. so it might show. >> aaron rodgers plays for the jets. yes he's a quarterback. the quarterback is the one who throws it. >> very good catch. >> we've been working on it. >> that almost makes up for that mean intro. like it's the anger you feel. i lived in new orleans, louisiana for almost ten years and it goes back to this. you can't stop motivated bad men from doing bad things, but you can at least not be soft targets. and i think the horrible, depressing thing. and kennedy was on the five with me today and we, we were just outraged by the press conference, the lack of just accountability, the lack of you don't even want to use the term dei because it's just across the board of unqualified people in these jobs who can't make decisions to keep us safe. and when you see something as preventable, that's the part that bothers, i think, the american people, when you hear their excuses like, well, the hydraulics were out on the things in the streets, so they had a car park which is half the size of the street. that was their plan. and they said, we had a plan, and i believe it was. but the terrorists beat our plan. yeah. and everybody was okay with that. where is her resignation? like it just we have to stop allowing the new administration coming in. we've had three and a half years of unqualified people getting jobs they had no business having in the federal government level. the amount of cleanup, the amount of wrongdoing in this country to where everything is a soft target is going to take years to correct and to get these people out of their jobs to make things. we're not going to be able to protect everyone, but it should be you should be able to go to new orleans or new york. here in new york, you can say what you want. they put dump trucks, big bricks. they make it impossible. you're going to do something bad. you're not going to be able to do it this way. we just had it happen in germany. and again, new orleans is almost known for their corruption. they had $40 million to fix their streets. where's that money? you know, they also have these things with these hydraulic things that come up and make it impossible to get through there. we saw pictures at one point. it was guardrails and a caution sign. that was their plan. that's the part we need to stop talking about. motorizing these terrorists and stuff. we need to focus on when these bad things happen, the people who sit there in these cushy jobs and make these decisions have nothing better for us than saying like, we'll be better next time. that's not good enough, and it shouldn't be good enough for anybody. all right. >> up next, it's a tough sell. when joe says he did well. yeah. >> i used to think we could see heaven from masada, but all i saw were the gates of hell. >> make those jews drink the blood of their children. >> we did not care what price we had to pay for our freedom. >> i want to be a warrior. there'll be no retreat from masada. >> we believed god was on the side of the innocent. >> god is on the side of the one that has the most weapons. do you think i fear death? today, my friend? you did it. >> you did it. pursue a better you with centrum. it's a small win toward taking charge of your health. so this year you can say you did it. >> hi. mike huckabee here. having spent many years in politics, i can comfortably say that the current climate is enough to keep any of us awake at night, and i safeguard my well-being by making sure that i get a good night's rest with relaxing and sleep. america's number one trusted sleep aid. >> i'm doctor eric silverberg, founder of axiom, america's most trusted sleep aid. >> just like you're seeing me on television now, i saw a commercial for axiom sleep back then. i called, and the rest is history. >> when i say axiom sleep, i sleep better than i have in years. >> i wake up feeling like i've had the best night's sleep. >> as a clinical neurologist, i know how essential sleep is for building and nourishing both your mental and physical health. >> axiom sleep is made in the usa, has no risk of dependency, and is drug free. it's also the only sleep aid with valor est as part of its triple action formula. >> i developed the axiom to help my patients fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. >> relaxing sleep worked from the very first night i took it. >> you've got to try relaxing sleep for yourself. because once you do, you'll be a customer for life, just like me. and right now you can try it for free. >> for nearly two decades now. relaxing sleep has been changing millions of lives. >> take relaxing sleep. i promise you it'll work. >> if you're experiencing sleepless nights or tossing and turning, you need to try relaxing. sleep now. >> i trust relaxation, sleep, and so should you. get the best night of sleep, guaranteed. don't wait another minute. >> call now. mike huckabee is so confident that relaxing sleep will work for you. he's asked us to give away another 1000 bottles. get your free bottle of relaxing. sleep now. visit. try. relax. com or call (800) 419-1286. that's try relaxation.com or call (800) 419-1286. gia diamonds. lowest prices ever. the jewelry exchange has natural one carat gia just 1990. custom mounts are just 4.99 carat 50 2992 carat 5990. thousands of diamonds guaranteed the lowest price the jewelry exchange, the new year's attacks as new details emerge inside both investigations and w what if your mobile network wasn't just built to work out here... ...but was designed differently to also give you blazing fast wifi where you are most of the time?

>> yeah, yeah, i'm gonna have my library, but the library is not going to have books. it's going to have scrolls. you get it? because i'm old. i'm old. man. i can stop pretending. that's right. i remember when the dead sea was the sick sea. that's right. i went into an antique store the other day. they put me in the window. yeah. i remember when the pride flag was in black and white. yeah, but i'm planning on having a smoking hot body soon in the crematorium. not a joke. >> to himself, tom. >> okay. did it get harder for you to try to do a parody as time went on? i mean, because for a while people were saying he was mentally fit while you were doing this, but what did it get hard like? was that hard? >> yeah. i'm glad to see he seems to have a sense of humor about himself. but yeah. look, i really was never i never thought the problem with biden was the dementia. you know, i didn't like his policies, you know, like we were just talking about in the last segment. we were talking about how bad this the justice department has been to, you know, to the people, the january 6th people. and using the government, weaponizing the government against its own citizens. and none of that had to do with his his lack of competence, you know, the weaponization of against people on the right started with obama. so, look, i don't like his policies. and he wasn't good at carrying them out. he had other people doing it for him. but, i mean, you know, the fact that the country, it only took them, you know, they didn't wake up until that debate. yeah. i mean, we all saw all this happening. we saw him on the tarmac. he couldn't get through a series of questions, but the media was able to cover it up until he was on national tv for several hours, being joe biden. and that's when it hit them. oh, he's he's old. >> and. yeah, well, the craziest thing was again, no, my papa much got ten years on. the guy does not act like that okay. but it's also it's just they weren't just like defending him. they were on the offense against people who were saying, this man seems like he's not. well. yeah. they were like, well, he's i can't keep up with him. you know, it's like, well that's more of a concern. kennedy. when i walked out into the living room yesterday, there was the interview. they were interviewing biden about what happened. and i turned to cam and i said, why are we still talking to this guy? why are we still talking to this? i get that he's the president or whatever, allegedly. but like what? like why are we why are we why? >> yeah, it used to be, you know, the inauguration used to be fluid. you can have it in march, you can have it in april. so more people could show up. but now it's like it's fixed in the constitution. it's january 20th, so that's pretty much what we're stuck with. but i've been wondering the same thing for quite a while because, you know, as i said in the last segment, he's not the president. and, you know, i'm wondering if kamala had one, would these donors have been like, oh my god, joe, you are so amazing. we are now going to give you tens and tens of millions of dollars to build your presidential library. so they're mad at him because everyone in his orbit convinced him that they could hold him up. you know, like whitney cummings says, like, yeah, they couldn't hold a primary because they were too busy holding up a body. so all the people who were holding him up are just as guilty as joe biden himself. so, you know, maybe they're the ones who should write the checks for this dumb presidential library. but, you know, he's. yeah, he's he's scratching his head. he never would have won. i do think i honestly think that he would have done a little bit better than kamala harris had he stayed in the race. and, you know, people would have voted for him just kind of as a prank. >> yeah, people would have voted for him, jim. some some people would have. but i think to say that he would have won is insane, right? >> like kennedy said, he would have got more votes than kamala, but he wasn't the one. yeah, but it's funny how he says. they say he's very protective. he doesn't want to say that kamala lost and blame it on her. but meanwhile he's saying if he ran, he would have won. so he's blaming it on kamala. yeah, that's exactly what he's doing. yeah, he just doesn't want to say it. but i like how he's going to, you know, he's battling for his legacy. yeah. you know what's going to be a harder battle for him like his legacy or him trying to get his pants on every morning. >> yeah. >> that's probably probably pants. >> he's not going to be wearing pants much longer. he's he's going to be wearing those old man nightgowns with the little ugg slippers. >> yeah. >> look, it's one thing to have dementia, but it's something else to have dementia and be. this man is okay. he is. he is one of the dumbest human being

jim. jim was looking at it and he was walking route and subsequent bills that a new piece of machinery because when the tax cuts went in and deregulation, i can now add an employee. you see susie over there? susie has a job because of what you did washington, d.c. it's time we start taking a message we know and applying it in such a way people can understand. when we do that as leaders, that is called leadership, called navigating. what we do matters and the matter to the people were elected by. i love washington, d.c. and the work you dedicate to do. i miss desperately love of my life lisa. i get on a flight to atlanta and fly to d.c. and then get to go back. i vote in georgia. i am from northeast georgia. here's what i believe is one of the best districts in the world. the people there are the ones who vote for me. if you ever disconnect from where you're fun to come appear to end up with a mess we're in right now. the last thing i will say is washington needs to go back and watch a few more schoolhouse rock episodes. now it's just a bill. sitting on capitol hill anymore. we just sit around. we've got to get back to an executive that understands its 's constitution executive, that is to administer the law, not make them up. we need a caucus this is instead of worrying about a bill and how it may be interpreted, make a law that makes sense that takes into account the needs of her country and those around the world and make it clear to the executive can carry it out and buy the weight we need a judicial system that says it's time to stop giving chevron and other differences back to the administration. we have to get way to the way understand that. then we have the functioning democracy we have. it's why our businesses, our election property, is why the folks in the world want to come. i'm going to leave you with a little bit of this. we, as republican lawyers, on my committeem you're going to see me do two things. and i told the chairman this on many occasions. mr. chairman, when you are ready to legislate, you'll find no harder worker than doug collins. but if you want to continue to go down this road that you are on, then you going to find me and you're going to hear some country analogies and i'm going to fight back, because i refuse to let this country get dragged down the path of divisiveness and hatred and other things when we can do so much better. that's leadership. that's where we need to be. god bless you. thank you so much. [applause] [indistinct conversations] >> more now of veterans aairs secretary nominee doug collins, from the c-span archives, as part of ouweek long marathon of trumpominee is in their own words. the top republican on the house judiciary committee, mr. collins that centered on the first impeachment inquiry into than president donald trump. rep. collins: i thank the chairman, and it is interesting that, again, parliamentary inquiries, some of the things are some of the things we will discuss today, in a different arena. for everyone who has not been here before, this is a new room, new rules, it's a new month. we've even got a cute little stickers for our staff so we can come in, because we want to make this important, because this is impeachment, and we have done such a terrible job of it on this committee before, but what is not new is what has been reiterated by the chairman. what is not new is the facts. what is 90 with the same, sad story. what is interesting, before i get into this in part of my opening segment is what was just said by the chairman. we went back to a rebel of mr. moeller. he also quoted him saying the attention of the american people should be on foreign interference. i agree with him completely. i guess the american people did not include the judiciary committee, because we did not take it out. we did not have hearings, we did not have anything to deal deeply into this issue. we passed election bills but did not get into the in-depth part of what mr. moeller talked about, taking his own report and having hearings about that. we did not do it. so i guess it does not include the house judiciary committee. we also just heard an interesting discussion, we are going to have a lot of interesting discussions about the constitution and other things. but we also talk about the founders. what is interesting is the chairman talked a lot about the founders, and, again, this is why we have a him about the founders being concerned by foreign influence, but what he did not quote is the founders being really really concerned about political impeachment because you just did not like the guy. you did not like and since november 2016. the chairman has talked about impeachment since last year when he was elected chairman, two years ago on november 17th, before he was even sworn in as chairman. so don't tell me this is about new evidence and new things and new stuff. we may have a new hearing room. we may have new mikes, and we may have chairs that aren't comfortable, but this is nothing new, folks. this is sad. so what do we have here today? you know what i'm thinking? i looked at this, and what is interesting is there's two things that have become very clear. this impeachment is not really about facts. if it was, i believe the other committees would have sent over recommendations for impeachment. no, they're putting it on this committee because, if it goes badly, i guess they want to blame -- adam schiff's committee and the hpsci and others want to blame this committee for it going bad, but they're already drafting articles. don't be fooled. they are already getting ready for this. we've already went after this with the ukraine after numerous failings of mueller, cohen, annulments. -- emoluments. the list goes on. but the american people are obviously failing to see us legislate. if you want to know what's really driving this, there's two things. it's called the clock and the calendar, the clock and the calendar. most people in life, if you want to know what they truly value, you look at their checkbook and their calendar. you know what they value. that's what this committee values: time. they want to do it before the end of the year. why? because the chairman said it just a second ago. because we're scared of the elections next year. we're scared of the elections, that we'll lose again. so we've got to do this now. the clock and the calendar are what's driving impeachment, not the facts. when we understand this, that's what the witnesses here will say today. what do we have here today? what is really interesting over today and for the next few weeks is americans will see why most people don't go to law school. no offense to our professors. but, please, really? we're bringing you in here today to testify on stuff that most of you have already written about, all four, for the opinions that we already know, out of the classrooms that maybe you're getting ready for finals in, to discuss things that you probably haven't even had a chance to, unless you're really good on tv of watching the hearings for the last couple of weeks, you couldn't have possibly actually digested the adam schiff report from yesterday or the republican response in any real way. now, we can be theoretical all we want, but the american people is really going to look at this and say, "huh? what are we doing?" because there's no fact witnesses planned for this committee. that's an interesting thing. frankly, there's no plan at all except next week an ambiguous hearing on the presentation from the hpsci, the other committee that sent us the report, and the judiciary committee, which i'm not still sure what they want us to present on, and nothing else, no plan. i asked the chairman before we left for thanksgiving to stay in touch, let's talk about what we have, because history will shine a bright line on us starting this morning. crickets until i asked for a witness the other day, and let's just say that didn't go well. there's no whistleblower. and, by the way, it was proved today that he's not or she's not afforded the protection of identity. it's not in the statute. it's just something that was discussed by adam schiff. we also don't have adam schiff, who wrote the report. he said yesterday in a press conference, "i'm not going to. i'll send staff to do that." he's not going to. but, you know, to me, if he was wanting to, he'd come begging to us. but, you know, here's the problem. it sums it up very simply like this. just 19 minutes after noon on inauguration day, 2017, "the washington post" ran the headline, "the campaign to impeach the president has begun." mark zaid, who would later become the attorney for the infamous whistleblower, tweeted in january 2017, "the coup has started." the impeachment will follow ultimately. and in may of this year, al green says, "if we don't impeach the president, he'll get reelected." you want to know what's happening? here we go. why did everything that i say up to this point about no fact witnesses, nothing for the judiciary committee, we spent 2 and a half weeks before this hearing was even held under clinton -- two and a half weeks. we didn't even find your names out until less than 48 hours ago. i don't know what we're playing hide the ball on. it's pretty easy what you're going say, but we can't even get that straight. so what are we doing for the next two weeks? i have no idea. the chairman just said an ambiguous hearing on the report but nothing else. if we're going to simply not have fact witnesses, then we are the rubber stamp hiding out back, the very rubber stamp the chairman talked about 20 years ago. what a disgrace to this committee to have the committee of impeachment simply take from other entities and rubber-stamp it. you see, why do the things that i say matter about fact witnesses and actually hearing and actually having us a due process? because, by the way, just a couple of months ago, the democrats got all sort of dressed up, if you would, and says, we're going to have due process protection for the president and good fairness throughout this. this is the only committee in which the president would even have a possibility. but no offense to you, the law professors. the president has nothing to ask you. you're not going to provide anything he can't read, and his attorneys have nothing to ask. put witnesses in here that can be fact witnesses who can be actually cross-examined. that's fairness, and every attorney on this panel knows that. this is a sham. but you know what i also see here is quotes like this, "there must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties or imposed by another. such an impeachment will produce decisiveness, bitterness, and politics for years to come and will call into question the very legitimacy of our political institutions." the american people are watching. they will not forget. you have the votes. you may have the muscle, but you do not have legitimacy of a national consensus or of a constitutional imperative. the partisan coup d'etat will go down in infamy in the history of the nation. how about this one? i think the key point is that the republicans are still running a railroad job with no attempt at fair procedure. and today, when the democrats offered amendments, offered motions in committee to say we should first discuss and adopt standards so that we know what we're dealing with, standards for impeachment that was voted down or ruled out of order; when . when we say the important thing is to start looking at the question before we simply have a vote with no inquiry first, that was voted down and ruled out of order. so, frankly, the whole question of what materials should be released and what is secondary, but that's all we discussed. the essential question -- and here it is -- which is to set up a fair process as to whether the country put this country through an impeachment proceeding. that was ruled out of order. the republicans refused to let us discuss it. those were all chairman nadler before he was chairman. i guess 20 years makes a difference. it's an interesting time. we're having a factless impeachment. you just heard a one-sided presentation of facts about this president. today, we will present the other side, which gets so conveniently left out. remember fairness does dictate that, but maybe not here because we're not scheduling anything else. i have a democratic majority who has poll tested what they think they ought to call what the president they think he did. wow. that's not following the facts. we have just a deep-seated hatred of a man who came to the white house and did what he said he was going do. the most amazing question i got in first three months of this gentleman's presidency from reporters was this -- can you believe he's putting forward those ideas? i said, yes, he ran on them! he told the truth, and he did what he said. the problem here today is this will also be one of the first impeachments -- the chairman mentioned there was two of them, one that before he resigned before and then the one in clinton -- in which the facts, even by democrats and republicans, were not really disputed. in this one, they're not only disputed, they're counterdictive of each other. there are no set facts here. in fact, they're not anything that presents an impeachment here, except a president carrying out his job in the way the constitution saw that he sees fit to do it. this is where we're at today. so the interesting thing that i come to with most everybody here is this may be a new time, a new place, and we may be all scrubbed up and looking pretty for impeachment, but this is not an impeachment. this is just a simple railroad job, and today's is a waste of time because this is where we're at. so i close today with this. it didn't start with mueller. it didn't start with a phone call. you know where this started? it started with tears in brooklyn in november 2016, when an election was lost. so we are here, no plan, no fact witnesses, simply being a rubber stamp for what we have, but, hey, we got law professors here. what a start of a party. >> that was veterans affairs secretarnominee doug collins as a member of congress in 2019 during theirst impeachment inquiry into than president donald trump. he would go on to write about the impeachment inqui a few years later with his book "the clock in the calendar," and spoke about the topic as a guest on c-span's "after words" program. >> doug, it is so good to be with you, and i have the honor of talking to you about your new book, "the clock and the calendar. rep. collins: i'm excited about it. i'm glad you are here. >> i am too . it is an honor. we worked with each other for a few years. i want to start talking to you about that lens because i think it is so interesting. you are a humble person and has always been a humble person, and a lot of folks, you sort of tease us in the book with a little bit of your background here and there, but you grew up, and you were the sun of a georgia state trooper. you grew up in the south, and you talk about in your book, and i'm going to get to that one quote in the book, but you went into the military. you were in the air force. you were a chaplain in the air force. and all of that i think it gives you a great perspective on really the events that we are going to be talking about, that you talk about in the book, but i want to get to that one quote here. growing up in the south them and especially in north georgia, there are few things more sacred than church on sundays, politics, nascar, and college football. why don't you tell our viewers about who doug collins is. rep. collins: ken, i appreciate it. thanks. if the book is about everything we came through. you were there, i was here for that whole time. i love the way you put lens, and in my lens, it was being raised in georgia, at the foothills of the appalachian mountains come about 15, 20 minutes from the start of the appalachian trail, an area that overtime has grown, the lake, but as i was growing up, especially when my dad i got transferred to gainesville, where i was born and raised there, those kind of values just, you know, came up, and myself, my brother, my mom, my mom worked with senior adults. it is sort of interesting to make. a lot of people have these backgrounds where you did not have what you did not have, because we thought we had everything we needed, and that was sort of my background. and my dad, who is still alive, by the way, when he retired, he had almost two years of on years -- unused sick leave, he just want to work every day, and that was embedded in may. as i was growing up, we went to college, politician, going to be the lawyer, and that was back in the time, the old show "l.a. law." everybody wanted to be a lawyer at that point. lisa and i have been married now for 33 years. and it started as a journey. coming from a state trooper's kid, we did not have a lock it when we went on vacation, we went to the state parks. we got a discount, so that is where we went. that's how i saw the word, -- world, never thinking one day i might sit in congress. where you come from as a matter of lens, and for us, it was charged, it was faith, you have the background believe, we argue about football and politics. being part of your community was never in doubt for me, because it is what you did. and as i grew sort of in my life and faith, i struggled in my life. a lot of people did. one day answering that call became, after college, i had been in business for a few years and was doing ok so when i answered that call of faith, i started on my masters, became a pastor for over 11 years, thought that that was probably where i was going to be. i was going to be a pastor, and that was good, i was enjoying it. i spent time in the navy as a chaplain. i have a daughter with spina bifida. she is now almost 30. you met jordan. she is living at home with us. we did not get to stay in the navy as i thought we might have. i got into my church, in 2002, got into the united states air force, even while serving in congress, went to iraq in 2008. that built in the service for my dad, congress, and how we were, but then about 11 years, i went through another time of change, which led me to law school. you go from a pastor to a lawyer, i got a lot of weird things, people saying that is just strange, how can you be a pastor and a lawyer come in the south, even more so. from my perspective, pastors and lawyers are the same thing. we looked at somebody, heard what their situation was, told them the worst possible scenario and gave them the best possible answer. that led to resort in the house, which i served in the georgia house of representatives, and then came up to washington, d.c. so that trooper's kid, and i use that term and lot, as a term of respect to my dad, as a trooper's kid, to sit in the halls of congress, some of the most interesting times that we live through in the last few years. that is just who i am. i'm with the president, fathered three kids, but was sitting in the front row for some of the most incredible times we've seen. rep. buck: i have lived in small towns, and i represent small towns. you've been in my district. you've seen those small towns. there's something about your background i find interesting. i think it helps with the theme of the book. a lot of times in small towns and a lot of times in the military and in faith and in having that rule of law, troopers background, the norms sort of move you toward the middle. you don't think of doing extreme things because you have these influences on you. as a kid in a small town walking down the street and you are smoking, a neighbor is going to call your mom and say hey, guess what, guess what i saw? so you have the interesting parts of your background sort of following you towards normal, and abnormal jumps out of you when you're from that background. do you find that, when we were are looking at events that we will talk about in a second, did you find that to be part of what struck you? rep. collins: it did a little bit. funny you should say that back, i moved back very closely to my dad about 100 yards in two different areas of the peninsula. we had a lady named betty , next-door neighbor. we did not need an alarm system when i was growing up, because ms. betty watched everything that we did my brother and i. ms. betty came to my dad, we were coming home and dad was driving and we got out of the truck and is when we first started driving. ms. betty came out and asked my dad, she said was douglas in a hurry yesterday, when those rocks were spraying out when he left the dirt road. i said betty, really? really? it was at southern way and laid out. the dirt road yesterday. so yes i know that feeling and yes it did. that is a part when you grow up in your background or books and reading in washington, d.c. and legislating. it is really true, the "mr. smith goes to washington," this is a special place. those of us succumb to sent to washington, d.c. have a trust with those who went before. all the way from starting our country until now. we are called in legislatures. and one of the things that we did, criminal justice reform. the interesting on how we deal with computing and law enforcement, the big ideas to get those done. but to see that was not valued by everybody. it was not about legislating it was about being a congressperson . i think that for my background, and i appreciate you it's interesting that you should bring that up. it's always got me during this time especially this very difficult time. we were dealing from a passionate side that was not in my opinion helping anyone. it was designed, will get into it later get out of a president that they didn't like but also looking around. if you are a legislator and never have legislated, are we missing the point? from my perspective, that is the background. i believe you came to do something, not be something. that is where i was at not to be critical of any particular person, but that's the culture of washington today. show less there's an old saying when you get to congress you look around and you think how did i get here. after a year or two, you look around and think how did that get here. a lot of that has to do with your heart for legislating. you want to help people or throw bombs. rep. collins: being in the military, we always have the authorization act and have bills coming up. there was a bill, part of the oco bill funding that was in the procreation side, i remember the funding which was overseas contingency of the amount we were spending on global were terrorism. in my opinion, even being in the military that should've been absorbed into the regular budget. we only have time to talk about the budget anymore. i almost want to vote against this, mick mulvaney and myself, we were gonna vote against increasing the legislation. i had somebody come to me item , a member on the floor come to me and said what you doing and i said i'm voting no, you should to and they stopped and they said it's a bad vote, i've not been in the military like you. rep. buck: i thought to myself, have we missed it so bad that you cannot explain good boats or -- votes or bad vote because of the perception out there that they feel like they cannot control. there is a great thread that you draw in this. i really enjoyed it because i saw through your eyes and is so interesting to me. we really started dealing with all of these issues when there was an investigation. hillary clinton's e-mail and a group of us were asked to interview the different witnesses from the fbi and i worked in federal law enforcement for years and the fbi was a great agency. i cannot fathom that they would go rogue and be engaged in partisan activities. i want you to talk a little bit about that but then i want you to talk about how the group, the top of the fbi became the same group that decided they were going to investigate donald trump and actually use false information in the dossier, submitted documents to the fisa court affidavit that have come under scrutiny. you have this group, what were your thoughts when you heard about hillary clinton e-mails? rep. collins: well, it goes back to what you saw in this discussion. that is being in the military being here's the rules, if you don't like the rules, you can change the rules. as long as they were in place, that's what everybody should live by no to tears of justice in our society. coming as someone that did not grow up on the affluent side of the track, working for. that is very important for most everybody in america matter where you're from. when i heard about this, it is not a matter of even in the law. did you intend, did you have classified or private e-mails, sound about what you did forever paid the department of justice did not let the it tech ever testify before congress or turnover e-mails. again you're starting to see this is sheer they were believing hillary clinton was good to be the next president. all of this was a distraction. they needed to keep it down. it began to be a process where you look at it and say this is not liked. everybody needs to be honest about what was going on. then you have a group as you saidecame part of the group that began investigating the president d falsify fisa warrants and move forward. recently john durham's investigation, i almost wish i could go back and put on the front of the cover, we were right. we were but nobody wanted to believe us. really the whole book in the year that we discussed, the whole year of 2019 and particular starts with the clinton cover-up. they're trying to cover up or falsify this e-mail. who is the center stage player, jim comey. jim comey steps up in july of 2016 and makes a statement as a prosecutor and i'm sure it made you in with john ratcliffe and many others later on sort of say , he said no reasonable prosecutor would make this case implying on the attorney general that it was not strong enough to take it because they were to compromise. this is the meeting on the tarmac, this latimer with peter strzok to begin this process based on a clinton directive with a steele dossier to taint president trump with the russian connection. we now know this, because documents were released later, that this was briefed to president obama. we now know this is a tactic being used. what's bad, political campaigns, we run our near-death and never expect the federal government at the highest level to participate in it. so, yes, i think that's where this whole thing started. it goes back to 2016. the same people peter strzok, andy macomb, all of them tie into it. and what concerns me the most, it's not the regular fe

last week i was talking to a business owner named jim. jim was looking at it and he was walking route and subsequent bills that a new piece of machinery because wendy tax cuts went in and deregulation, i can now add an employee. you see susie over there? susie a job because of what you did washington, d.c. it's time we start taking a message we know and applying it in such a way people can understand. when we do that as leaders that is called leadership, called navigating. what we do matters and the matter to the people were elected by. i love washington, d.c. and the work you dedicate to do. i miss desperately love my life lisa. when a flight to atlanta and a fly. and they get to go back. i vote in georgia. i from northeast georgia. 52 here's what i believe is one of the best districts in the world. the people there are the ones who vote for me. if you ever disconnect from where you're fun to come appear to end up with a mess we're in right now. the last thing i will say is washington needs to go back and watch a few more schoolhouse rock re

michael, kant, mackey, joe mackey, jim norton, jim florentine, these guys are also selling out clubsd the balls to tell the truth. think about it. >> if they didn't sell sensor, what do you think someone would do? >> judge at patel. >> there are a few powerful agents and directors who have deals all over town, global deal and you are not going to get a piece of any visit or get cast in their project if you run afoul of the group think. they know it and all comedic actors know it and they have been in lockstep for it. when you combine that with power and politics, it is in movable and people are too terrified for their livelihoods because it is a feast or famine business. they will fall in line if they want to work. >> it is like telling a tight and he can only throw to the dash tell a quarterback you can only throw to the tight end. >> i think it is funny, i don't being -- don't mind being made fun of. but i think there are a lot of great liberal comedians who have been able to do this. bill burrell will destroy the party but will make sure he comes out in defense of the principal th

. >> will take the next question from jim gilmore. jim: on the former governor of virginia and former united states ambassador to osce in austria. and in that capacity had the chance to interact with 56 other ambassadors in countries is the european security organization. this is my question. i think everything in the previous panel and in this panel agrees that china and russia and by extension north korea and iran are committed to a change in the world order. that seems to be the policy the u.s. is confronting today. i think deterrence has failed. the ukrainian incursion demonstrates that. so my question to the panel is this. it looks to me like the united states is being confronted with the choice and the choice is either appeasement or war. my question to the panel is is that the united states have any other options besides those two choices which i think are being forced upon the united states. rush: before we answer that we will take one more question from the room. here in the back. >> jacket from the german marshall fund. you also

jim gps, jim satcom -- jam gps, satcom, and cyber capabilities. that new norm of behavior is unsafe and unprofessional and could cause major strategic problems if we do not rapidly get after it and start really investing in our space capabilities. >> how do you get after it? to hear about satellites that can kill other satellites in orbit. just two days ago, the "new york times" published another op-ed on nukes in space and what russia has been doing. when you talk about the capability gap shrinking, what does that look like, and how secure is our critical infrastructure in space or not? >> today it is secure. today it is effective. today that capability gap is in our favor. we used to believe at the dod that we had to own and operate our own kit. we believe that for many different reasons. first and foremost, we did not count on international partners to be there during times of crisis. the second reason was i have the most exquisite kit on the planet and i did not need to rely on anyone else. the third reason was we did not want to paint a target on allies for commercial partners. that has completely changed. russia has come out in the press and said anyone operating within the space of the target -- civil, commercial, nasa, allies -- you are all targets. couple that with the fact that we have the biggest area of responsibility with the smallest force and smallest budget, we have to change the way we get after the fight. the way we do that is through partnerships, partnerships with allies and commercial, by integrating a network and this capabilities together. that is something we are changing that we do not do in other domains. it is something we are doing by necessity in space because it is so big and so under resourced. we are also doing it by necessity because we need partners to be by our side as thinking adversaries. >> space force is five years old this month, i believe. >> on the 19th. >> happy birthday. also maybe because it is young and small and agile, it has been leaning in on things like public-private partnerships and thinking differently on accusations -- acquisitions in commercial and private space. i spent the week having conversations about acquisition reform and cutting cost and what it will look like with an incoming administration, etc. congressman, i will go back to you and ask the question -- when we think about the intersection of commercial space and national security space, civil space, space infrastructure and architecture, is this an example of something that is actually working in the dod? >> it is. we see the things that are actually happening out there. we look at states getting into this business. think about the virginia space authority. people are all in to say that we need to do this. this is an a cross-government enterprise. people need to understand we know the strategic importance of space, but we also know the commercial importance of space, and as has been pointed out, it used to be those were parallel tracks in different lanes. today they are parallel tracks in the same lane. we know both of those have to be done concurrently. we know protecting those space assets will have to be done as a joint enterprise. we know, too, that technology development is going to occur simultaneously in the private sector and public sector. if we look at efficiency, the best use of resources, you see what is happening right now. look at what is happening in the constellation business. look at spacex and others really driving the technology in that space. look at companies, too, in the launch platform business. multiple companies doing incredible work. we are at a point in time where the excitement -- i remember when i was a kid staying up at night watching neil armstrong stepped foot on the moon. that was the most exciting thing to me ever. i watched at launch platform be recovered on a space platform and come down and get captured, and that does not excite you, then you don't have blood flowing through your veins. that is what is happening today. this is a reenergizing of space enterprise, and it is happening because there is this joint nurse between the government, the private sector, and utilizing recesses -- utilizing resources, and we have not seen that in this nation i think ever. it is a great example about how you leverage the innovation and creation of the private side with government as an enterprise with things that are necessary strategically, but leverage the investment that is taking place -- i don't remember a time where we see this and where there is such incredible potential that will really put this nation forward. we need that because we see what our adversaries are doing. the one good thing about this is our adversaries do not have the creative and innovative abilities that this nation has across the spectrum. it will be a competition and it is an all hands on deck moment. we have to make sure we are up for this competition. >> i want to get your thoughts on this because as we do talk about this, you do talk about this strategy. we know space is hard. if you have a flatlining or even potentially declining budget, do you get everything you need to see the strategy through? >> let's talk about efficiency and let the budgets work their way out. from an efficiency perspective, if you look at it and say, how can you make acquisition in space? that is why the space development agency was originally created, to be able to go faster and more efficient than traditional space. there was a gentlemen's agreement where you could put up an exquisite system and did not have to worry about it. we are not in that time anymore. we need to put systems up there, put them rapidly for resilience and be able to have them continually refreshed. the way we get efficiency and the way we measure efficiency, as was mentioned at the breakfast panel today, you cannot count anything unless you can measure. in an acquisition organization, the government, we do not really build anything. we allowed performers to do things and give them money to do things. one of the elements we use installers executed to get a capability delivered divided by the total number of employees and contractors we have. for us, that turns out to be about $14 million out the door for fda employees, including military, civilian, and contractors. that is about a factor of 10 greater that a lot of acquisition organizations. the reason we are able to do that, because we are not trying to do the most exquisite. we really are relying on what is commercially available and modifying that as minimally as possible and getting that out the door as quickly as possible. that is how we are able to turn these from order to orbit on the order of 30 months. we are able to do that because we look at what industry is doing, as a commercial entity, what they are building, and we say, we do not want them to build more than that. we want to slightly modify that and get those cranked out as quickly as possible. i'm going to completely butcher" recently. the gist was he said we are in a digital infrastructure, digital age. we need to start thinking about things more digitally and less hardware focused. the reason that is important is because we look at our hardware the same way. we do not look at hardware starting from scratch, part one, going to version two. we do a small development model where we do new releases every two years. we want that down to everyone here, we keep pushing. we wanted to be hardware as software because it is all about a digital ecosystem now. >> this notion congressman whitman brought up, a relationship between industry broadly speaking and government urgently needs to be evolved. it needs to change systemically because we want to include as many companies, as many sizes of companies as we can in the solution developments that you will need. the way we are starting to look at it our company is to take a mission or an app, so to speak. the app would be space resiliency. we start with what is out there today? how do we make that app sensing the launch of nuclear missiles against our country better every three to six months, even? using a combination of the and physical upgrades, interrupted at times by a whole new system, a whole new platform? we think about all the ways we can, industry and government working together quickly with a rapid acquisition process along with it to say if we can change the way for them on that satellite when it transmits instructions back and forth to the ground station and have a low probability of intercept in that signal, that is going to make us another leap forward in resiliency, and it is something we can probably do over the air in three months. those are the kinds of things we need to think about. that is why you heard me talk about companies that normally would have hardly anything to do with national defense. the way for creators in 5g are going to be nokia, which is fin nish, and we have a partnership with them and they are in nato as well. they are not familiar with the pentagon door is the pentagon familiar with them, but it is industry's responsibility to find solutions on that technology roadmap and implement them. that will require fairly dramatic change in some of the processes between government and industry. >> what does that mean in terms of how you think about the portfolio at lockheed martin? we talk about space specifically. obviously the space economy, the industry has changed so dramatically in the last 5, 10 years and continues to change. how do you decide when to stand up and be more competitive in house versus partner on and how are you thinking about the changing competitive landscape? >> we are the exquisite satellite provider. we have an amazing facility but i'm afraid no one can really get into here but a few of us, and it does amazing things using that sort of architecture. geosynchronous, a lot of capability that can do things you cannot imagine. we also need to be able to do those things at different orbits with different numbers of satellites with different resiliency protections among the so that we can not lose all in one swoop our ability. another key strategic capability -- i will use that as my example of how we are changing to make this better, is in communications, especially strategic command and control, which are again incredibly essential. a president has to be able to get to stratcom and provide instructions to the secretary. that is typically also done with large, very well protected satellites in high orbit, but now we are augmenting that to go into lower orbits. to get low-earth orbit satellites in the game in those critical missions, and to do that, you have to have space for his expertise, frankly our expertise and a couple of the other companies that traditionally do this, and then we bring in the newer companies to enable us to ramp up our small bus production satellites. at the same time, we are building 150 satellites per year in a factory in colorado to do the same. third, we have partnered with other small satellite makers. we are figuring out how we merge into the commercial industry in a way that will make our customer better off and more efficient along the way. that is some of the things we are doing. >> if i can add to that, what jim is talking about is the foundation of capture, the commercially augmented space reserve, and that is key to what we need going forward. we have a number of companies out there that put up some pretty incredible constellations. that all has to be part of that. how do we leverage all those assets? how do we leverage those companies that are doing work in a lot of different spaces? he do it through the commercially augmented space program, make sure you are using all those particular assets, and we are indeed in a time when software is going to direct hardware. all of our hardware is going to be software informed. the key is how you do that and it cannot just be limited to constellations. we have to make sure our reserve is there to make sure if called upon tomorrow, we could launch constellations. on a launch vehicle and make sure we respond at the speed of relevance if somebody uses this extraordinary needs to take down those space assets, which are going to be key. that's going to be

jim morning. jim, i said earlier in the show just off the cuff. i got an e-mail from someone, you know, a lot of people bought the stocks and i've been saying for the last week, hey, you know, i had my subscribers, we're going to buy them on dips but no one buys them. no one sells, up 500%, go up 600%. two things i want tox we know they made big moves in the short period of time but this move down from jensen huang. do you agree the time horizon is potentially 15-30 years for these things to be relevant? >> good to be with you charles. yeah, i don't know if it really goes out that far, really. this is i think jensen huang was the one who said this and of course, he's kind of in some ways competing with quantum. you know, they are also collaborating with google as we know but like we didn't think it would take that long for a.i. either, so a.i. happened so quickly. same with self-driving cars. these things often we looked at these years ago and we said self-driving cars is never going to get here. a.i. doing all this is never going to get here and yet we're here, and so i don't know if it's 15-30 years. it could be more like 5-10 years. charles: i happen to agree with you, jimointing out. on november 30, 2022 when the announcement of chatgpt, the fourth edition of it, the fourth iteration, 3.5, it was innocuous and just came out and it changed the world because everyone was caught flat-footed and the speeds and power it had maybe on drawing board thought it would happen five years or later. so, i just want to know you do own some of these names? are you looking at some point maybe to add to them on this dip? >> yeah, so, this is something that we're looking at as an investment committee. how do we position these things. it does demind me a little bit of bitcoin when bitcoin was still pretty new. lots of volatility and so, you know, it's not for your average client. for me, i like buying the dips. i think there's a long-term story here and i think ironically that the a.i. might be able to shorten that timeframe to even less than five years, so if you can use a.i. to help solve some of the issues, that are with quantum, then that might be something that speed

jim sciutto. jim, what are you hearing from your sources after this dramatic statement from the president elect? >> listen, there was a tendency in trump's first administration to dismiss comments like this from trump as bluster, and many of them turned out to be this time around, i think it would be unwise to do that. >> and when i speak to people close in trump's circle and i ask them, is he serious about the panama canal? is he serious about greenland, and how far is he willing to go? >> they say he is quite serious and that he frames it and you hear it from his advisers as well. >> they frame this as a national security issue. in panama, they allege chinese control there in greenland. they talk about the importance of it to the arctic and elsewhere. they describe it in national security terms, necessitating hard action, which might begin with economic pressure to say to panama and denmark, a treaty ally of the united states, as a fellow member of nato. >> as part of denmark, greenland is a it's a territory of denmark with its own elected leaders, and denmark is a nato ally. >> it's a nato ally fought alongside the u.s. in afghanistan on hard frontline duty, and lost many dozens of soldiers there, but that it may begin with economic pressure. trump saying, if you don't give me what i want, i will impose serious, back breaking sanctions on you, panama or on you, denmark. and if that doesn't work. you heard the president elect there say himself that he might very well order military action. when i ask folks inside trump's world whether that is serious, they say, not right now, but they're not taking it off the table. so so i think it's important not to dismiss this, to take it quite seriously. and the other point i'll make, wolf, is this, that when i ask folks in that world what his vision is, they describe it as a kind of trump monroe doctrine. we've got to go back to our high school history here. but the monroe doctrine was, in effect, that the u.s. rules in the western hemisphere, and that's where the panama canal is. that's where greenland is. that's where canada is, and that he's going to push flex his muscle here and that he's not going to tolerate any interference or any limitations on that. and and to your point, this would involve pressuring treaty allies of the united states, either economically or militarily, to give the u.s. what it wants. that's an enormous break with decades of bipartisan tradition. >> enormous, indeed. all right. jim sciutto, thank you very much. i want to bring in trump's former defense secretary, mark esper. mark, thanks very much for joining us. you previously told me you thought trump's rhetoric about greenland was a negotiating tactic, but hearing him now, do you take this more seriously than when he floated this idea originally back in 2018? >> well, i do think we should take his words seriously. the words of all leaders. seriously. he's just continues to add more detail to it and flex his muscle. as jim just said. >> even more, what's what's surprising? >> of all the issues that the new administration is going to face in the next two weeks when they come in, that these would be out there being discussed for the last couple of weeks, let alone on the list at all. i mean, we're looking at a hot war in, in europe with russia invading ukraine. everybody's waiting to see what the trump administration approach will be there. we have ongoing conflict in the middle east. there's curiosity again, ho

jim bijanuary coe. jim, it's so tough to get a handle on the aggregate data. the bifurcation of the super wealthy and everyone else, all this stuff has skewed what the true health is. although i do believe in november we heard from the public that is not as good as the experts think. >> yeah, we refer to that as the k-shaped economy, you know? if you look at the top line numbers in those ism numbers you were citing, they're more top line. the economy looks okay. but the the k-shaped economy is the bottom half of income is not doing as well as the top half of income. obviously; the top half does better because they have more income, they have more wealth. but relatively speaking, they're falling further behind. and that's where the problem comes in with the economy. but even with that said, our economy -- i know it sometimes false on deaf ears -- is doing better than just about everywhere else in the world. and, you know, if you think it's bad here, he can out europe. check out germany. charles: right. >> check out china. we are doing way better than everybody else is doing right now. charles: i think the question is, and i agree with you there, you know, but it kind of also reminds me of an old joke my dad used to tell about the kid who came in in third place, but only three people were in the race. >> right. charles: we want to use what those other country countries have done to themselves, particularly germany, as a cautionary tale. let's talk about central banks. today's ism number, because i know you've been critical of some of the moves they've made recently. do you focus on the fact that manufacturing may be turning, signs maybe we're going to go to expansion, or do you to focus on that inflationary stuff, the prices paid, which is the so-called sticky inflation? >> see, i would focus on the inflation rate, and that's why i've been worried about that the stubbornness. and i've been worried about inflation, and just so everybody knows, i'm worried that inflation's going to stay in the 3-4% range, not under 2. why does that matter? because that could push interest rates into the 5-6% range. we're talking about treasury yields, and that could push mortgage rates into the 7-8% range if we don't don't get rid of that stickiness on inflation. the fed wants to decide that inflation is behind us, declare victory, start cutting rates, start acting stimulative, the market might not like it. in fact, i would argue it isn't, that's why you've been seeing memory yields and mortgage rates going up since september when the fed has been cutting rates, because it's saying we don't need this stimulus. we're worried you're going to create a little bit more inflation. and if they continue to do that, that's going to be a problem. so i think they should focus more on that inflation number. i know they focus more on the labor numbers right now. charles: so we got, by the way, just so the audience understands, mike johnson is officially now again the house speaker. and i want to ping on the conversation for -- ping on this conversation -- pick up on this conversation for a moment. president trump has an aggressive ageneral -- agenda, and i think a will the love -- a lot of people are excited about it. we had ed yardeni on earlier, he's very concerned about tariffs. a lot more than i am, for sure. what are your thoughts on just achieving what trump wants to achieve and what it would mean forth average person? >> achieving is going to be difficult because just look at the speaker vote right now, you know? it took two ballots, it got mike johnson over finish line on the second ballot by one vote. i'm glad we don't have to have drama like we did, you know, with kevin mccarthy a couple of years ago. but that said, it just highlights how difficult it's going to be to get the agenda through. now that i said that, the ageneral agenda of tax cuts, deregulation, i think, is very positive and the markets have responded like that since the election. tariffs, there's a big debate about tariffs. are tariffs going to be put on for the sake of tariff orses -- tear writers, or are they a negotiating tool? i happen to think they're a negotiating tool. trump is saying you're going to get tariffs if you do x, y, or dis, if that's the case i think tariffs are not necessarily as bad a thing as everybody worries they are. charles: hey, jimood. happy new year, talk to you soon. >> happy new year. charles: i've got a guest coming up who says if you're not fully invested, use my -- any of this weakness. you should be 100 informed -- invested. he'll fill you in on what he likes next. ♪ ♪ lock in let's go. rated e for everyone.

. >> will take the next question from jim gilmore. jim: on the former governor of virginia and former united states ambassador to osce in austria. and in that capacity had the chance to interact with 56 other ambassadors in countries is the european security organization. this is my question. i think everything in the previous panel and in this panel agrees that china and russia and by extension north korea and iran are committed to a change in the world order. that seems to be the policy the u.s. is confronting today. i think deterrence has failed. the ukrainian incursion demonstrates that. so my question to the panel is this. it looks to me like the united states is being confronted with the choice and the choice is either appeasement or war. my question to the panel is is that the united states have any other options besides those two choices which i think are being forced upon the united states. rush: before we answer that we will take one more question from the room. here in the back. >> jacket from the german marshall fund. you also

um you know that somebody like jim jordan is, is allowed to jim jordan, representatives for ohio and yes. in the house. uh yes, but, but um, but you know, there's the worries that i have and this is something that i said from the start about these tools that we discovered and the toner files is that they can be misused by anyone. and the, the sort of history of this new movement towards was like europe's digital services act or the online safety act in the you, k is, is that they're designed so that who, whoever is in power can use them. and there's going to be an enormous temptation for anybody who sits in the chair to start to toggle things up and down in a certain way. and so i do hope the trump administration resist the temptation. so we don't know that it does sound bad, optimistic, and you know the deal unless, cuz it close uh, advisor to try and so for here we go level, you'd be over the moon about this. well, i mean, you want suppressing my account. so i mean, i use is not exactly someone who is a police or repair that relationship, because yeah, i can see a startled expressi

jim mattis, jim mattis would go on to be confirmed by the united states senate, 98 to 1. a celebrated and politically uncontroversial pick by any ideological standard, donald trump at the time was proud to stand with him and to have nominated him. he made the announcement to great fanfare at a rally in december 2016. >> one of our great, great generals, we are going to appoint mad dog mattis as our secretary of defense. >> mad dog. he's great. he is great. >> i asked one of the generals, i love the generals and i won't use his name, but he probably would come forward. >> but i said to him, you're a good general. >> yes, sir, i am. >> i said, so how do you compare to general mattis? how do you compare to mad dog, sir? he's better than i am. >> caliber. the character, the reputation of general jim mattis mattered to trump. and you heard the crowd roar. it's important to know where we've been, to understand where we are. vital context for what happened today at the confirmation hearing for a very different person, a man named pete hegseth, who went before the senate armed services committee today, fox news weekend host pete hegseth, to put it mildly, is no jim mattis. no, not even by trump standards. if anything, the through line of trump's picks to lead the pentagon from general jim mattis to mark esper to pete hegseth represents and perfectly encapsulates the complete erosion of standards that, ironically, pete hegseth likes to complain about. except hegseth attributes an erosion of standards to women women who serve their country with honor, women who go toe to toe with any man serving in the us military. here's senator tim kaine questioning pete hegseth on his past. >> you cheated on the mother of that child. less than two months after that daughter was born, didn't you? >>

jim jordan of ohio. truly great. jim, i'm saying. i know different political parties, this is endless nitpicking, and replaying of the last election. and name-calling. and being rude and nasty. people look at this, you know if anyone from middle america is watching the hearings, the dems will come off looking terrible that is what i think. >> you are right, i thought pete was great yesterday, and pam did a great job today, helping one of president trump's nominee with a p prep session, they will all do well, they represent from american people voted for, on november 5 american people said weme want folks running the agency who respect the american public. that is attitude of pam bondi and pete hegseth they did well. larry: you know, just more generally, we have scott bessent tomorrow. we had russ vought, important position. budget director, like democrats are not talking about policies, they go after personalities for the most part. you know, particularly with hegseth. but just like you will -- with pam bondi, will you have retribution, the poor people on j6 or, why don't we h hammer away on kash patel, last segment someone mike davis said that c kash patel got an award during the obama administration, indecide of talking about america's future, growth, proper law and order, neutral justice department, let's get energy prices down, democrats missing all these points, jimthat is incredible to me. >> remember, they are party of crazy policies, i remember sarah huckabee sanders said divide in america today is normal versus crazy. we had the bill yesterday, two democrats voted for it. they are now left now controlling party, they are party of crazy, we're party says let's get back to common sense, good energy policy, to help with economy keeping taxes low to grow the economy economy is curing border rule of law. just basic common sense things. that is what we're about that is why 77 million people voted for president trump. >> i think that republicans are doing a good job, i think nominations are doing good, they are taking the policy high road, i watched pete hegseth yesterday, i watched some of pam bondi today, i will try to watch some of scott bessent tomorrow, they are taking policy road, donald trump wants a new group to create a golden era of security and america first and economic growth, that is what folks' to hear, positive optimism democrats don

jim's paper and jane's paper. >> as i was reading jim's paper my head was nodding up and down and jane's paper, wrong, wrong, wrong, we'll get into that in the discussion. i'll try to make three points in brief response and i might not have time for the third one maybe get to it during the q & a, the first point that privacy rights are property rights and have been in our common-law for a time before the american founding, and goes back to england, in fact. and the second point the common-law is more than capable, in fact, already does arrange and distributes the rights in privacy in ways that i think economic experts would find more or less desirable. >> adam, take all the time you need, just take the whole --. >> yes, this is-- i'm going to say, yes to jim's paper and add more details and then the third point is, we don't need to reinvent the wheel and i think actually a lot of the objections that you see from folks who are property skeptics, let's call them, simply rest in either two simplistic or a misconception of what property and the common-law actually do. so the first point is that property rights in privacy long pre-date the prosser article and the developments. pre-dates the famous warren brandeis article. and this is all worked out and in a doctrine that became known as the first publication doctrine or sometimes known as common-law copyright. ... common law copyright city is your natural common law property right in your own writings up in the first publication now we have supplemented that with a statutory copyright regime, and across the board in both copyright and patent. we offer people a quid pro quo make your intellectual kreaxes and your information and your opinions possible. that is give up your common law right and we

jim sciutto is joining us now. jim, you heard bolton's comments there where he basically is saying, the more you push this publicly, the worse you're making things. what do you make of this? >> i think two reality checks. one is that a lot of this talk in trump's first term annexing greenland. et cetera. we would dismiss as just bluster. we should not. trump is serious. his team is serious about somehow getting at least a greater role there. and you know that's true. he's sending his son there. he's talking about visiting himself. but also to bolton's point about the way they're talking about it. they're talking about this as a national security issue. and it was notable. i saw this a few days ago that trump's former national security advisor, robert o'brien, he tweeted, if our great ally denmark can't commit to defending the island, the u.s. will have to step in as potus, 47 said, referring to president elect donald trump. they are calling this a security issue and therefore laying the groundwork to say this is central to u.s. national security, and we're prepared to do whatever we need to do to get greater control there. so what does that mean? trump talks about buying. it doesn't seem like a realistic option, but would they put pressure on a u.s. treaty ally to allow a greater u.s. presence there? perhaps. but here's the other reality check, sarah. and that is that, as john bolton said, denmark has elected leaders, greenland has elected leaders, and the prime ministers of both greenland, which is a territory of denmark and denmark itself, have both said we're not interested in being bought by the united states, regardless of social media posts that trump has been sharing of 1 or 2 people in greenland with maga hats on, and neither is canada, for that matter, which he has also said should be part of the united states. >> so we will see how this all plays out. there are some serious issues here, though. as you point out. >> and to that point, sarah, i'll just note this. the canada piece about making canada a 51st state, that one. when i speak to folks in trump's world, not particularly serious. the panama canal, when trump talks about that, they're serious about the panama canal. and again, they're framing it as a security issue that china is involved there. they're citing treaties from 100 years ago about what would allow the u.s. to take it over again. and it all falls under their kind of new sense of a monroe doctrine that this is our hemisphere, america's hemisphere, and we will operate here however we like. and we might even push close allies, whether that be denmark, canada, mexico, to do what president elect trump wants, regardless of what those close allies want. it's a brave new world, sarah. we should prepare for it. >> certainly a confusing one from someone who has said he doesn't want to get involved in, for example, international issues. and here we are talking about annexing other countries. jim sciutto it is always, always a pleasure. thank you for coming on this morning. thanks, john. >> with me now is the governor of new hampshire, republican chris sununu, in his second to last full day in office, 48 hours to go. we're honored that you chose to spend it with us here all day. i'll be here. i'll be here. did you ever imagine that on your second to last day in office, you'd be talking about greenland? >> uh, no, i didn't, i don't know, maybe it's a big tourist destination as well as a strategic place for the united states and the north atlantic. so we'll see what comes of it. i don't think anyone in america is really worried about greenland. if something comes of it, it comes of it. but there's a lot more pressing issues right now. >> well, if no one is worried about greenland, why is the president elect of the united states focusing on it, talking about annexing a sovereign territory? >> look, i firmly believe trump is focusing on a bigger international strategy, and there's

jim thompson. mr. flood: nancy and jim have dedicated their lives to giving back to nebraska throughout their nearly 5 1/2 decades of marriage. as educators, they played key roles in forming the la vista school foundation, helping it charter nearly 40 years ago. their commitment to public service is equally impressive. nancy and jim were both elected to local and county office. nancy had the distinction of being the first woman elected to the sarpy county board of commissioners and she later served as a state senator in our unicam rally she and i served -- unicameral where she and i served together. they will be honored with the 2025 reflection award from the midlands community foundation. on behalf of nebraska's first district, congratulations to both nancy and jim and thank you for your remarkable service. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from louisiana seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, today i stand to honor a profound legacy, mr. john louis menard, who in 1868 became the first african-american elected to congress. even after winning 64% of the vote, members of this body denied him the rightful opportunity to take his seat by a vote of 57-130. mr. fields: nevertheless, he bravely defended his right to repre

jim ran for speaker, the people who opposed jim jordan got death threats at home. and i remember i had people that, you know, who didn't want to go out, call me and say, hey, you need to get out there and talk about why jim jordan's a bad candidate for speaker. you know, it's like, well, hey, can't you do that? you know, i don't need to have all the death threats as long as people like those in this room could still gather and raise voices. no hope. thank you all. i thank this incredible panel. we'd like to move on to the next one. okay okay. my my name is donna air. i'm a board member of the society for the rule of law. and i've also served about ten years in the justice department, including several years as the principal deputy solicitor general. i really. can you hear? i i really have never, never would have suspected that you would have a program where. you're actually going to have a debate. we're going to change the format here a bit and actually a debate on the question of whether the supreme court is serving rule of law effectively. and i would never have thought that that would be the light part of a program that goes on for 3 hours. but i think that's the that's kind the world that we live in.

jim cavanaugh, who is joining us again. jim, you have heard the updates now from investigators at this point. they are looking into that improvised explosive device. there was that bang that was heard by one of the local reporters for nbc news on the scene there in the french quarter. we know that federal law enforcement sources have told us that the suspect, the driver, is dead. the investigation continues into the motive, the obviously recovery now continues for those 30 plus people who are injured at the hospital and for at least ten families, it is a nightmare as this new year begins with their loved ones killed in this truck ramming. yeah, it's just heartbreaking to see this death on new year's day. it's horrible. and what the bomb squad is doing now, it's a complicated thing for them at this point because the fbi, asac, assistant special agent in charge said at the press conference that they found an ied. so when we have that information now, we have the bomb squad has got to go into that area. of course, normally they're going to check the killer's car for a homemade bomb. that would be a routine process anyway. now, what you also have, though, is people fleeing a chaotic scene like that are dropping bags, knapsacks, purses, all kinds of kari things that they'll drop along the way. and as they run and get out of the chaos, maybe trying to get out of the way of the attack. so there would be a lot of things dropped on the street. and sometimes those things come into suspicion as well. then we add on, this is new year's eve. and so people come to celebrations with noisemakers, and sometimes people come with small, you know, firecracker type things that they want to, you know, make loud noises with that. they pitch around. and so that's even layered on top of it. so with the bomb squad has to do now is go in there and they find something that doesn't look right, and they put what we call a disruptor on it, a water disruptor. and that is fired with a shotgun shell. and that's the sound you hear. you hear it's a shotgun shell. it doesn't mean there's a bomb there. it means something suspicious found. we don't want to open it with a human hand. we will set up our disruptor and we'll back off, you know, 100 yards here or however far they can behind a building. and we'll fire the disruptor remotely, and it will bust open the package, and then we'll be able to look at it. if it is actually a bomb, that disruptor often will, you know, break the detonating chain. it will knock the blasting cap out from the explosives or knock the fuze mechanism out, and they can send a robot up with a camera and then look and see if, say, is this just somebody's personal items? it's not a bomb at all. or was this something that was a bomb and we disrupted, or do we need to do further disruption on it if it is so all that's happening, but it doesn't mean there's multiple bombs now. there could be because the fbi said there was one ied. so we don't know exactly what that's made of. we don't know what that means. was it in the truck? did he have something in the truck he was going to light and throw? is it more sophisticated than that? you know, is it large? is it small? we don't have any data on that right now, but i think we'll probably get more of that at the news conference. and that again scheduled for 11:00 in new orleans. that's noon eastern time. jim, talk to us about the investigation on the ground now, because you have a massive law enforcement presence there and preparations in place already for the sugar bowl, that huge college football game that's happening tonight at the superdome, which really isn't that far from the french quarter. exactly. well, you have louisiana state troopers from all over louisiana heading south. i guarantee you that they're moving their troopers down there. you got the jefferson parish deputies moving more people in and surrounding counties, probably coming to the aid of new orleans, because they're going to need a lot more people to help secure that sugar bowl. if it if it goes on and it may still go on, but with even a heightened level of security, you got federal agents, fbi and atf laid on doing the investigation with, you know, shoulder to shoulder with nopd. so you've got all those white collar detectives, and they're trying to piece this guy together. and behind that, you have the intelligence

jim mcdonnell. then sheriff robert luna. and following that, we'll hear from la dwp general manager jim, the skin giannis as well as superintendent about albert. oprah follow. the mayor will come back to the podium and open it up for questions. i'll call on questions from the left. and with that, we're best. thank you. >> good evening, everyone. i stand here today with incredible sympathy and concern about the devastation and the tragedy that our city and county are facing. and i definitely want to send my condolences to the families who lost loved ones to the families and neighborhoods who lost property. this firestone firestorm is the big one in magnitude. >> hurricane force winds are usually accompanied by rain storms. but these are hurricane force winds that are combined with extremely dry drought conditions to provide context at 10:20pm, am yesterday. the palace, 8 fire was at 10 acres. 12 minutes later, it was a 200 acres to those who fled their homes, especially those who have lost their homes. our hearts are breaking for you and we stand with you. i know the world is looking at images of our city's devastation. i have see

jim jordan is, is allowed to jim jordan, representatives for ohio and yes. in the house. uh yes, but, but um, but you know, there's the worries that i have and this is something that i said from the start about these tools that we discovered in the twitter files is that they can be misused by anyone. and the, the sort of history of this new movement towards was like europe's digital services act or the online safety act in the you, k is that they're designed so that who, whoever is in power can use them. and there's going to be an enormous temptation for anybody who sits in the chair to start to toggle things up and down in a certain way. and so i do hope the trumpet ministration, resist the temptation. so we don't know that that is something that optimistic and you know the deal unless because a close advisor is wrong. and so for here we go one way you'd be over the moon about this. well, i mean, you want suppressing my account. so i mean, i use is not exactly someone who is a police or repair that relationship, because yeah, i can see a startled expression with joe rogan when rogue, i mean rogan literally singled you out, and there's no that trump a single, that rogan as being a really important factor in this wind for setting demographic to yeah, i mean look, he wants a complicated character, but they're all complicated characters and they're all subject to all kinds of pressures. and we don't know exactly what they're being told behind the scenes and what kind of um, you know, sort of deals are being brought to them by the security agencies, by advertisers who are threatening to boycott. we don't know the, the entire story. i do think that the trump administration work, or the donald trump and people like a new vance. they've at least brought the censorship issue out into the open and said they're opposed to it. which site is a huge start and you won most cuz somebody who just just by doing the twitter files to this amazing public service by exposing the whole thing to, to the public. so yeah, i'm not on optimistic. i just would like to point out that there is, there are temptations for any politician here. yeah, you mentioned my tablet, terry and country britain, which has the gross censorship and no free speech and so on. i mean, trump immediately reacted to we had your colleague full factor on the show the other week immediately we had to disagree as tom is labeled by the interfere and say, attempted interference in the us elections. yeah, i mean i, i hope he doesn't. uh, my, my, my, the instinct is that donald trump does not like these types of laws. he hasn't said a whole lot about them. but there were some communications in the tutor files where he complained about certain posts and kind of sorta asked that they be taken down, but they were few and far between compared to the enormous quantities that were coming from the other side. and so yeah, i'm optimistic, i think, you know, absent a trump victory, we were looking at almost certainly at the united states, adopting something like the dsa or the online safety act in the very near future. i think that was coming up because in, in, in, in part because of the argument that the failure to regulate social media led to trump selection or worked or to something or to trumps come back, at least. so had he not one, i think we would, we would have seen some kind of crack down pretty quickly and that would be in the end of that daily to maybe yes, me and then probably a whole bunch of other folks. and we already have de facto censorship in this country. it's telling me an informal way, instead of a formal way as it is in, in europe. um, but, you know, i think if, if uh, if there been a close contested situation. if there had been demonstrations where, you know, there are people out in the streets and, you know, they were telling us ahead of time that they were concerned about the possibility of misinformation inspired violence. so if there been anything like that they would have, they would have clamped down and i know they have legislation in place for for adventure . i always like that. so rumble would have been attacked, which the show goes out on. i should add a free speech really important when it came to persuading publics in europe, which as you say, they've got these low as all from a tyler terry and isn't already a very important though to get support for zalinski to outlaw the would not see in british media and united states media, do you think zalinski will face noriega is right, so that was saying straight the face of the, those who are the united states, a suppor to band elections and opposition parties all the rest of it and then are turned to the scrappy history as it's possible in the trunk trunk did approve some funding for ukraine in the past, but he is off. he has run as somebody who's against a prolonged war and i think his supporters would be incredibly disappointed if it was not a swift negotiated end of the conflict in ukraine. it's part of his political identity that he's against the so called forever wars. it's not clear to me that his record matches up with that. exactly, but he's at least ran on that. and i know from covering his campaign in 2016, that this was incredibly important to building up his support with kind of working class america. where if you go around to red states and you see so many people who came back from americas adventures in nor misadventures in afghanistan and iraq, and they were so angry about so many things. and that was a huge factor and electing trump the 1st time. and i'm sure this time as well when we get rid of the phase middle class, which is the one, the democrats always love to use and start using the phrase working class in the united states again, firmly and properly. because i mean, clearly the media had no idea who is going to win the selection, nor did the post as well. people start to understand the working class is alive and well, or at least they were dying and were i'm home before they vote at this time, right? of the middle classes in tremendous trouble and has been since 2008 and their faith after 2008 we, we instituted bailouts that were openly unfair. right. they were, they, they rescued the people who are responsible for, for the crash, and they left all, you know, people in the sort of middle class or lower middle class suburbs and rural america to be hit by mass foreclosures. they lost their life savings if they were invested in mortgage mortgage backed securities, which a lot of pensions pension funds were. and so there was an incredible well spring of anger towards the upper class or managerial sector of america. and what was worse was that when trump that elected those same people began to use projective terms to describe those people. then we stopped using working class as something that was a good term and sunday. and they started using white working class, which became synonymous with racist. and, you know, i hope this stuff is, is over because we just went through a period of 8 years of essentially kind of narrow panic where everything was distorted. and i hope we can go back to just describing things as they are and talking to each other is normal americans. again, that's how you'd be all stop you. the more from the old reading, john, this involved a really strong contributing editor after this break the, the, when i say this is, i mean the math, the world bang for the federal reserve, the dollar itself, the swift payment system. all this has become a set of food geo political instruments that the west uses routinely and aggressively intimidate, restrict, you know, dominate to other countries, the, the welcome back to going underground. i'm still here with the award winning journalist and following that rolling stone contributing editor matt daisy matt. we told him at the working class. uh because uh, the issue. the single issue that this region where i was speaking to you from is the guys of genocide and obviously that influenced the votes in michigan. but what do you think is the significance of a $100000000.00 from miriam adults into the trump campaign? i mean, is that the $2000000.00 mostly women and children question when it comes to gaza? what, what is the impact of that donation? i don't know. i mean, i'm not sure that, as you mentioned at the top, this was a kind of paradigm shattering election in many, many ways. money didn't matter as much as it has in other elections in our past. trump was massively out raised by the harris campaign. and it didn't appear um that uh, you know, that is anyone donation whether it was from april center mosque turn the tide. i think it was much more the pastor of traditional media and the responsible institutional america that people are voting against. um, so i'm not sure they're yeah. and so the he's won the house and the senate and it's his last term. so perhaps he doesn't o people like a president normally always people. but then we wouldn't even know about some of the atrocities happening in gaza without i wasn't getting that and you know, his friend is not much because he freed up. but x. what now for um i think the great british politician george galloway. cool. that mostly a media, what is going to happen to all of that? will they just be able to die gracefully? or will there be some sort of uh, attempts by trump administration to regulate monopoly media. but actually people aren't that interested in anymore. maybe maybe go back to fcc regulations when they have it full, clinton destroyed all your local journalism that used to prosper across the united states as well. i think, you know, when trump that elected he, there was this incredible moment where he, he thanked a long list of pond tests that had been instrumental in spreading his campaign message. and that was a really amazing moment because it, it spoke to the almost total evidence of the so called traditional media in this country. they were really not a factor if trunk tries to crack down in any way on cbs or you know, get their license here. and because of the shenanigans with some of the editing and in the come all areas interview, i think you'd be making a mistake because the legacy media in america is basically that we saw after this election. but they were unable to process the fact that so much of this country was voting against them, that they had lost trust. and then there was an incredible thing that happened were uh, you know, abc is jimmy kimball, a comedian, rolled his eyes and told the joke about how ridiculous it was that there was somebody who voted for trump because tom alara's wouldn't do an interview with joe rogan know joe rogan, his audiences roughly $25.00 times bigger than the biggest cable audience in america. and for a presidential candidate to issue that interview is basically telling people that they don't want those votes. and so that wasn't silly at all. that wasn't a trifle at all, but the people in the press think that these people are 2nd rate. and the reality is the you, the audience for your show that nobody really watches them anymore, that they don't really have an influence. so better just doing more of them. yeah. and the celebrities didn't work or either of course, we all remember how trump enlarge this one. and he didn't drain this one in the 1st time. i know that both perio is being spoken of. how does a pen to can pick, which would surely show he's a game helping this won't but, but do you think there will be more revenge this time? i mean, his support is used to john lock them up about hillary and clearly crimes were committed by the, by the ministration dividing harris administration and previous administrations. is he going to open up all the books and start to get these people for all live what they did to him when he was out of office? because many people thought they would go to jail of a higher said one. well you, you mentioned interviewing paul sacker, we did a story about the center for countering digital hate. and i heard from the trump campaign who told me that in no uncertain certain terms that they were going to be investigated. i think the term was to the hilt, and that was just for starters, they, they intend to do a whole mess of investigations into the censorship complex into the intelligence world. and i think they're serious about this. and they, they know that their voters want mass firings of people from those bureaucracies. they're tired of paying taxes to support these gigantic bureaucracies that consider large parts of the country to be tantamount to domestic terrorist entities. and i think it would be a political mistake if they didn't follow through on those promises because that was central to his campaign. because then when it's what, what threats will be against even a politician. so elected by the popular will vote if he starts release, i mean he got released the epstein files clearly because he presented we being had some. yeah, he can release the j f k files, maybe files into the ukraine, more maybe files into all these things that were going on on the harris by the ministration. i think it would be a tremendous opportunity for them. it's been suggested on twitter that there be like a government version of the twitter files and some of his wealthy backers immediately jumped on the idea as a good one. so it would be great if that happened. yeah, i can't imagine that the logistics of that would be easy because the order has to be, is a considerable amount of sorting before you let us know. you can't just do what do you want it. and just let a whole team of journalists run a rep, rummage around and, and all the files. but it would be great if they opened up everything from me on the jeff, his assassination, to you know, the rationale for going to a rack for entering the ask in more for, you know, the reason for, for staying in afghanistan for cultured. i mean, there's a 1000000 things that the public has very legitimate questions about, and it wouldn't be wise for trump to open up some of that information. and yet, bump a was at the rallies towards the end of his campaign, who had coordinated assassination attempts against julia. massage of wiki leaks because you're talking in a sense of like a government regallix a. yes and trump has an opportunity to pardon assange and did not. i. i know that he was lobbied very hard by some people close to him to actually go through with that part and then he didn't. so, you know, trump is a complicated figure. i think this is something that people understand about him. they think of him either as a simpleton or this impulsive character, who just kind of goes where his emotions lead him in the moment. but he's actually thinking quite a lot about alliances and who he can afford to make angry and who he wants to keep close. and he's never gone all the way in terms of kicking the national security folks, you know, out the door. he's done some things that were really, really interesting, like, you know, for going the, the, the daily briefing by the c a and all those folks which is long overdue. but, you know, we'll have to see the, his voters definitely want him to take a bigger bite this time and i think for his own self preservation, he's now aware that they want him gone. so i think it will be a harsher confrontation. so kind of return to the image that some have of him is a real estate developer. and with roy coe and the new celebrated movie, the apprentice showing is mentorship of trump that he will actually go for them this time and doesn't have to have to care because what's, what's it gonna lose him if he, i mean, unless they, caleb, i mean our of k junior's already being on doing the media around saying he's going to does all whole departments of the food and drug administration and effects a big pharma. and we know the power, big farm. i mean, the story is a big pharma whistle blows in horribly dangerous circumstances as the 1970s a violence. but what's, what's so fascinating about this moment is that trump got in largely, i mean, his entire power base is not. you know, it has nothing to do with corporate money. it doesn't have to do with institutional america. it's not even really based on things like twitter, x. he just has massive numbers of people who voted for him. and he doesn't owe anybody anything. and he can afford to do almost anything in terms of upsetting traditional constituencies and he would be shared for it. so it's a unique circumstance. no, no president has ever gotten to the the white house and not old quite a lot. this time we'll have to see, but he has opportunities here and i, and i know from talking to people in this campaign that they're much more cognizant this time of the dangers that surround them from, for instance, to the justice department, the f b i n c i a, so mostly the larry think of black rock said, you know, the election didn't matter at all. but anyway, it doesn't matter. so you'd, you'd get back to different this with this election really, really did matter when it comes to something different in the united states. especially for the working classes clearly because it's make or break from any of them as well. it may, it may not matter economically. i mean, he's got to figure out some way to, to stop the bleeding for people who are at the, you know, not in the, in the top 10 percent of the income curve because there's just a tremendous amount of suffering there. and then we, and we have these situations where private equity firms are buying up everything from starter homes, to you know, ophthalmology practices, to, to know what they call the, you know, the trades. right? so even plumbers are now owned by wall street in there that the american dream is dying quickly because nobody is able to make enough money to get there a little piece of pie anymore. and he's got to find a way to reverse that. or else none of this is going to matter, but i do think culturally the election is already a massive turning point in american history. because it's a, it's, it's essentially expose the entire cultural framework of the country as, as having no influence. and having been lost to its own audience and that's not something we haven't seen before in this country it's. it's fascinating. and just finally, i feel like i'm asking this question, every single interview at the moment of all, i guess we'll, we'll, they try and kill him. what was the, i address and kill him in the 2 months before january 20th? a split this way i, i will not be surprised if there are more assassination attempts. there's no evidence of this that anybody inside the government had anything to do with the prior attempts. nothing that's terribly concrete. but everything is on the table now. i mean, this is, this is maybe the end of everything for nato, for the intelligence services. i mean, there's a lot in the line here. so nothing would surprise me. let's put it that way. and for an intelligence agencies, and am i 6? what happens to them? i mean, already people who think intelligent services in europe are devastated. i mean, it's kind of, it has a some, it's funny. you're going to do it because they're supposed to know what's going on and clearly have no finger on the pulse of the late american capitalism in the united states, as to why americans would vote for trump by the could the united states join break not tell you something know that it does not tell you that the, that these agencies that we, we fund so have only, i can't even answer the most basic questions about their own populations that they don't understand any. they don't understand things the, you know, the, the average barber and a small town in america gets without any funding. you know, these people are so locked up in their own hermetically sealed bubble of stupidity that they, they can't see um, you know, beyond their own prejudices. and so that makes them dangerous and useless and expensive. so yeah it's, it's so ironic, but it worries me too because, you know, there are continued bureaucratic existences that stick that diety. thank you, that thanks very much. and that's it for the show of continued condolences to those arriving the u. k. u. s. u, i'm tall across here in this region will be back with a brand new episode on site the angel. then keep in touch my role as social media. if it's not sensitive, we'll country and have to our channel going on 20. if you are able to come to us, new and old episodes are going under grants. you said that the we are getting the center of crude rock about the city, surprisingly is almost entirely in fact the spots a back to the wage for a month p a r t. the us international news. that's what we exclusively report from the recently liberated logistics hub in the next to a public smoke blanket, southern california from the fi as ravaging los angeles as a depth full wise and over 12000 instructors destroyed the states democratic leadership stages. mounting scrutiny over the field responds. no, i'm living on governor governor point. it's the literally talking to the president right now. just specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter. can i hear? can i hear your call to move it? the other gms officers working on censorship, that fallen off of america and beyond mob sucker bud caves. it had all the incoming us administration flips his policy and tries to blame provided for all the facebook has done the that what you're doing on the coverage of the latest trends shaping the world right now. this is our international i a michael portrait, the mileage these graduate returning to a town in a dumbass that was by bitch by the conflict. moscow says key of lots more than 15000 ukranian troops and the bottle. a russian forces gain control of the strategically important logistics hub. the archie was the 1st international news network to explicitly report from deliberate and area. i've seen a correspondent morag guys be of has the story. we are in the center of good rock about this easy, surprisingly is almost entirely in tax the spots about who the wage for a months. here with the 1st press that of managed to enter good hawk of the most dangerous pause, ease the drive to the city across the plains in and fields. but the weather was all friend today. it was very foggy, almost new drones. the other remarkable thing about the quarter. oh cool. is it a pre well population of $18000.00, almost a whole list. 4000 people choose to remain in the city and the waste russian forces hiding in basements, high digging in the apartments. and they were very fortunate, they were very fortunate that you created the fed does. he have crumbled the russian soldiers that we have spoken to say the city was completely unprepared for an in depth defense. the defensive positions that ukrainian military, it seems, he's suffering from, appreciate the fight that they have pulled up here is the fight that they would have put up previously the parts of the soul in the body, but in box more embodying, installed a dog, many other cities that would be left devastated. these people he of the thousands, the maids we spoke in the course of the day to many of them may have described as i read this things. they have said how they were abused, how ukrainian soldiers mud that civilians here who they accuse of being phrases will staying to wait for russians for trying to re unite with the, with russia they, they said many of the, the faces of the people here of the towns people the be is up to them, they would have killed the more we will bring you, of course, the, the testament later as we leave the city. but as you can see, it is incredibly called, despite the fact that we have gone kilometers away from you, crazy and positions. they are still on the retreat and with the capture of good rock of which you create in forces described as a fortress city, which they poured huge sums of money into the defense offered money that was apparently stolen this part, promising to defend this loss. they gave it up and this opens an operational space for russia to advance further. there's nothing similar to cut off for many, many kilometers westwood towards the door. the done towards via prep that they're all regions. the battle for cut off is over. now, stay tuned for our extended reports about the region leads over at our program. i will bring to you more about how russian troops, helping local residents return to a peaceful life. and now over to southern california, there are raising wild fires on several of funds for nearly a week. now at least 11 people have died and thousands of buildings had been damaged or completely destroyed. the now be has been a mass about correlation from numerous neighborhoods including the renown sunset boulevard. los angeles authorities have also impose coffee, one affected areas. the national troops have been deployed to maintaining order. firefighting crews have had trouble buckling. they incentives the other far on pacific palisades area, hoping to many celebrities has only been contained for about 10 percent that many people blamed california state administration, particularly the golf. now the governor, you got a son. yeah, no, no, no, i'm living here. my daughter's school governor, please tell me, leave me to the literally talking to the president right now. just specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter. can i hear it? can i hear your call? cuz i believe it's, i'm sorry, can i, there's literally tried 5 times as i'm walking around the positive odor in the item. you know, being tall literally. is it going to be different next time? it has to be. course i'm going to make the call to address everything i can right now, including making sure i personally can meet and i have an opportunity to at least tell people who are doing what you're saying. you're doing good. somebody have contracts for me. i have your contact information right now. why they have been quite a few reasons for the public discontent. this more details come to light by the day . now 1st, a massive whatever is of was near the scorching policies area was found out of service and the unfilled. then in the middle of the 5 fighting efforts, hydrants waste dry so much as to what the stops were emptied. and finally, the fire department powered tides, diversity hires and caught emergency trading and other things and discovered that it was generated on the funded by the white house attempt to diffuse public criticism appears to have made the situation even worse. the president and the 1st lady continue to grieve the lives lost and livelihoods destroyed by the tragic while fires that are burning communities in southern california to the ground, just minimize prison. i know you're directly your practice or you far away now was body in spots about the catastrophe over and you run the national government tend to red crescent to many terry and society say that they are ready to send their own emergency workers to help the united states john, yesterday last night, as you want us to meet the iranian red crescent society based on its inherent moral religious islamic duties, as well as adherence to the principles of the international red cross and red crescent movement announces its readiness to deploy as rapid response and firefighting teams, which a highly professional and specialized to help the people of the united states. if the american red cross agrees we can dispatch our forces so that the news of the fire in the us is painful. we are witnessing the people over there are in during difficult conditions. and the fire has not been completely extinguished. it seems that it needs support from other countries. we sympathize with you the people of california who have been displaced from your homes and safe environments. we empathize with you whose homes and possessions have been burnt and destroyed. we stand with you who have endured this devastating wildfire caused by climate change . we also remember the sorrow of thousands who have been displaced and mourned due to the selfishness and war mongering of others. as the iranian red crescent society has announced, we are ready to dispatch rapid response teams to help extinguish the fires by crossing live. now to doctor john ross, most professor of economics and politics i st. mary's college in california. it's nice to have him join me right now. so i was yes. so we know that the college you teach, it is in the northern part of the state, but still, you're close enough to understand what's going on and seen some things, especially the catastrophe. what can you share with us about the situation in california right now to? well, you know, the fires are, are terrible. it's a really devastating over 10000 homes and businesses have been destroyed. many of them uh, had been denied insurance by the insurance companies out here. we have that crisis and insurance coverage. so a lot of those people won't to won't receive any compensation unless the government does something to directly compensate them. you know, it's very interesting that the volume as easily as office can find $20000000000.00 to give uh to ukraine. uh, but uh, no money for our own citizens. interesting that the chase bank is this debate is the property damage is 20000000000. so you know, why don't i take that 20000000? i think i get to your credit and give it to american sumeet, a bunch of who don't have any insurance coverage anymore. as far as the incompetence. there is some evidence that there is some local government incompetence. you know, they cut the budget the firefighters that a lot of the equipment got sideline. and then as far as the rest of ours, it looks like that there isn't sufficient rosalie flores and then the urban area to handle a fire like this, which is like 4 or 5 times the drain of a normal urban water system. and then of course, deadra recivore, there had been permanently drained while they were present the colors i referring to a while they were to do uh, repairs. uh so you know, it's kind of in confident. uh and, and then the uh, the mayor of the newly elected the career politician there. karen bass, a takes off right off like on a junket. you know, when she was, the more that we got these a big center. i don't know what is coming. you know, that blow 50 to 80 miles an hour and when i below the, there's no way you can contain it until it stops. uh, but you know, we have a convergence of, of problems here, both in terms of local government and water systems and water supplies and bad decisions that have been made. and of course, global warming has something to do with it because we've had less than 110th of one percent of rainfall in almost a year in southern california. so it's a real tinderbox, it's a convergence for government has to step in and do something. and you know, i really urge somebody that we throw all this money off shore to all these uh, neil con moore's proxy wars and everything. and we can't find it enough for our own people here in america. you know, it reminds me of what happened to the citizens in hawaii, where now they got burned out and, and bite and guessing the $700.00 check. you know, i mean it's almost insulting and it's about time that we got our priority straightened out in california and in the country as well. all right, now some media reports a set that with 10, so it can not make the last as mesa passes, staggering. $150000000000.00 from all the things that have been destroyed. now, what will that mean for this engine? is that and who is going to be at the cost of a building? what was good to me for california is that the insurance companies are gonna cancel more coverage and for the rest of the, of us in california, oregon to see our insurance rates and you know, go up 5060, so 100 percent maybe. who knows, at the same time we gotta utilities, uh, a corporate crisis here where the utilities page it in edison or gouging the hell out of everybody. so in terms of standard delivery and the cost of living is gonna really hit all california is very seriously, and that's like an economic fall out. i don't know how much of of the damage as i said, chase estimated 20000000. but that was a, you know, with only less than 10 percent of the fires under control. and this weekend we expect the return to the santa ana winds, which is going to make it even more devastating. so probably between 20 in an hour and 50000000000. but as i said, the government has to step in and do something new and different. uh to try to keep people economically afloat. we'll see what happens, but i'm not too optimistic. all right, as an american, what was, what was your reaction to buy? didn't saying fire away, no pun intended. during his press conference, he had a big smock on his face when he said that, i said, well, this mind, what did you say to? well, you know, this is another indication of what these people who been right in the government really think about the, you know, their own citizens that, you know, it's, it's an elite and it doesn't really affect them. and they have a slip of a tongue, of course. uh, you know, buying uh a given is a mental condition has more than the average slips in the town, right? so, you know, it's revealed time, you know, occasionally from here they're what they really think like during the election by the called, the average americans, the, you know, uh, garbage and deplorable and so forth. but you know, this is the attitude of these people. we need a real cleansing of this government and the replacement would people who, who really care about their own citizens and not so preoccupied with their empire and other countries and, you know, protecting the markets offshore and everything. uh there's, we need a big change in this country. all right. a ron have officially offered to set and firefighters and other emergency workers to the us to help without the 5. but other thing, time drums themes as he hates the runyan government. so what exactly is your interpretation from all of these? yeah, well, you know, that's just p r and the part of the ran, i'll try to make a point. and it's part of the preparation for the goal. she ation to between the us and in a ran unfortunately. yeah, you know, the trump administration new uh, looks like you may wanna downgrade the conflict ukraine. i think he's totally in support of mitten. yahoo and the scientists and you know, i think there's going to be some sort of conflict with the ram. unfortunately, you know, but i'm not too optimistic about trumps attitude towards around because you know, the design is controlling the u. s. government. netanyahu's brack. the owns congress. you know, any of the democratic party, so i'm, i'm not too optimistic about it ran a little more cautiously optimistic about the ukraine. we'll see what happens there with the discussions. but again, although i don't see a quick settlement in ukraine either i think is going to be a protracted negotiations for a while. uh, but uh, as far as it ran, uh, you know, i that, that's probably the conflict point of the trump administration over i. we have to leave you here. now. i don't think that the ross, most professor of economics and politics i st. mary's college in california. thank you so much for your insight. my pleasure. right now facebook made see here to the bottom. peddling on years of censorship, just to have a donald trump type picking back the white house. now, bob circle bag is the one prying file as he throws bite in under the boss. say that he was just following government orders are doing a quarter. take us through the details. a mark soccer berg went on joe rogan's podcasts to talk a lot of smack about his own company's fact checking program calling. it's something out of 1984. i mean according to dr. burke, he only made it that way because government spooks and the bite and administration were forcing his hand, which is a pretty funny claim, considering just how gung ho, the c e o of meta was about censoring content for the longest time. up until only now, i mean from the fact ends early 2023, when the twitter files were just, were still making use headlines. it was an established fact that the social media giants, including facebook and really weren't going above and beyond just to help the state sensor content. we learned twitter, facebook, google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government. the f b i d h s h h s, d o d, the global engagement center at state, even the c i a for every government agency scanning twitter, there were perhaps 20 clause i private entities doing the same, including stanford election, integrity, project, news guard, the global disinformation index and others, many tax payer funded now all of a sudden donald trump's coming to power with a long mosque to advise him and sucker burger saying that met is moving away from its fact checking program and towards something closer to x is sort of community notes on top of that met his offices are also reportedly removing tam ponds from the men's bathrooms and reported. lee france, people who are not going to be able to use those mens bathrooms either no doubt. this is somehow connected to the upcoming change and the white house is making these chameleon just change their colors as quickly as possible. the sounds where they're coming to the senses officer rule, but it's not just is this sense of a ship that's been a scandal with facebook. they've been in trouble before. i may, of course they have. i mean, we can forget the scandal connected to the political consulting firm cambridge analytic, which collected millions of facebook users private information without their consent for political advertising. and this is something uh, connected to a lawsuit that facebook had the settled for handing that information directly to cambridge analytics. com and the dc attorney general said that mark zuckerberg was directly responsible. i just added, mark secretary as a defendant and my lawsuit against facebook are continuing investigation revealed that he was personally involved in decisions related to cambridge analytics and facebook's failure to protect user data. this lawsuit is about protecting the data of half of all district residents and tens of millions of people across the country . we've taken our obligation to investigate wrong doing very seriously. and facebook should take its responsibility to protect users, just as seriously thought all of a sudden, a lot of corporate chaos, and there been any whistle blows. of course, i mean 1st there was francis hawkins who released tens of thousands of documents showing how facebook was contributing to ethnic violence and the number of countries and how it was actually knowingly contributing to the damaging of the mental health of teenager. and then there was also sophie's rang, who said that when she felt like she had blood on her hands after working for the company and that the platform was being manipulated by political forces all around the world was like easy. i found multiple blatant attempts by for a national governments to abuse our platform on vast scales to mislead their own citizenry. and caused international news on multiple occasions. have personally made decisions that effective national presidents without oversight. and take an action to enforce against so many prominent politicians globally that i've lost count. so facebook's clearly got a history of doing whatever the government tells it to do. and this recent 180 from dr. berg really just looks like it's an attempt to start kissing the trump administrations, but ahead of time, the brakes membership and support. so paula spine are the key directions of indonesia is foreign policy. and that's according to the nations for administer who delivered his 1st audio of press statement on friday. are to correspondence rep. it cannot be to pull news reports from their at the end of this month, president level civilians will, will mark his $100.00, the leading indonesia and initialize, always clear on it's free. and after for impala on his 1st annual statement and a precedent bubble. so the end of the f, ministration in a nation for a minute. so seek, you know, offline indonesia diploma to hire a t 's for the year ahead. emphasizing 2 critical pillars in the nation as new found whole as a bricks member. and it's on we bring support for palestine, he began his address with a possible statement. avoiding conflict as the 1st step to piece this set the tone for a policy approach included in conflict prevention and international collaboration. he highlighted innovation, bricks membership, which was 2 tour just 3 months after it's application. this membership of firms in the nation fee this as an essential player on the global stage. bridging developing countries with the indo pacifying technology. initial cups is the sum regarding this, the session with critic suggesting it might deviate from any of those principles of its free and foreign policy. however, you know, underlined the contrary and i'm going to do is to as a valid yeah. indonesia, as membership in brooks is a manifestation of the country's active foreign policy. this is not an overnight results. it is the fruit of decades of work, consistency and resilience of indonesian diplomacy as a member of bricks on indonesia will endeavor to infringe the interests of developing countries in the endo pacific region and will continue to actively prevent geo economic and geo political arrival from escalating one, diplomacy, indonesia, on palestine. the minister delivered a strong message of solidarity. he read your trade in initials, commitment to supporting the palestinian people through too many terry and a, an at fault to see at the united nations here from indonesia, support for a 2 state solution based on international per matter of sizing that a ceasefire and establishment of an independent palestinian state are non negotiable and a significant statements. so given to announce the enemy shows readiness to send you and peacekeepers to palestine should be a nation's security console. the site to act. this sweet man know form across the annual press. the menu mark pivotal moment in any nation's foreign policy under president bob horses, yandell as initialize boys to navigate and increasingly complex landscape holding its principles of peace and justice. they cannot be the more reporting from jakarta for our tea and to offer could. now the suited these national ami has reportedly regained control over a major city in a sweeping offensive against the upon military groups near the national capital. a local residence, well come deliberation with joy. the the, the army is said to have entered the city of wide mcdonny on site today, or the major cultural hob has been controlled by rival paramilitary forces for more than a year. have been cultural operations right, halted in that existed agency shortages into complex regions. now hope so high for the sector to be restored. a local douglas and most abby bohannon has reported that national forces a set to advance even further. the, the cities army. we gain the jersey or with meetings after being a to 5, but are base board forces for more than a year. does a where they practice their bad habits, killing people is engraving. it's become a very bad situation there. a lot of people are more than 5000000 displaced the places where the cities are located, most of the residues now between the sedan and never country is a deal factor today. all the people celebrated all places in today analysis that was today. and the now before regina, this, the country that was being the shelter for the but i do this, okay, i'm from control, i'm seeing this where to start, what do they need is a very big city that has a very important strategic location where the national army is going to control a rigging most of the parts at all. we can see this, we started to regain know how so the places that was being taken for years now are to the comments. what you can get for the think it was of all the stories are following this hour. thanks for watching the the the, you know, green. i'm with the police looked on anybody that i see 100 or more. so that's because i didn't, especially the going to them like of the much longer filled up just a board or the parent jo shippers. or is it like it goes off of the little business list learners? are you familiar with building some of the initial meeting and that was quite testable, not logan. and because i had a spanish, so i sent me an it just came, but it's about them. yeah. but i'm using it when you watch the quarter, it's a little less to shut somebody let listing what you're not going when you want them is rate for the customer to us. the. so what's the problem with 137000000. those are the buses for foot, unless somebody number i think, i thought, but i thought about with all the categories that you knew of initially it will be in the the 1940 the world war one. that's the military conflict, gradually engulf facility and the 59 independent states and 60 population. the officially, it was the assassination about your friends to the austro hungarian empire. i have both may have sub pump but the other underlying reasons the but let me just get bridge kemper, georgia tech. that's what i'm a computers. i'm not sure of the websites i have come into corporation. you would have just given the control panel. i'm going to lay ministry history institute research fellow david met at a center is known for his work on the causes that lived the world into a large scale. your wants compare francesca based on scrape stuff painting which are all school confirmed thoughts for it. and then you just click the picture and stuff and go to and if you want to insure the steering the corner on your store has a different equipment which i'm currently o'clock of. what was on. i'm conflicts, i'm a little for us than you. it was most of july 29th, 1914 feel strong carrier, the declared war on samuel so could not stand beside. undeclared, or general mobilization, the legitimate investigative went to the russian foreign ministry to deliver ridiculous ration. the various europe was divided into 2 minutes williams political blocks. these were told russia or greek, but it was opposed by the triple alliance of germany. austria hungary, under delay, remained divided between germany, austria hungry, russia. the many poles considered russia to be one of their own. as much as balance diplomacy created a unique situation in which polish ranch was in no way infringed the public to believe his multiple subjects. though in this person, from what i'm showing you misunderstanding versus computer doors to report any document which useful. so if you're doing your option goes to for william pops of junior option, just to be dropped to use this next to me and it was modest on the account for doing that. that is pretty lenient on so, so there's nothing good for someone to enhance pool policies cuz what else i pulled up last year was cut off number the new boys getting it in the near future. so i mean, if you're going to be a specialist owens population was growing, tax is well known as an am central russia law firms where allocated to education that most of the schools in the pony language course get. but i'm listening care easily color as many people who are pretty impressed, thoughtful, i knew what is the student pretty much just in my room, what i see score. and whereas independence of tone and taking the blood pressure industrial hungry, the population was meticulously converted to jim and waste. jasmine was the primary language roost of cbs, and was also imposed on the locals chest boy symbol at western. and i need them to me either way, if i'm getting my new students today and you were going into regular states, and i thought that cool impression is sort of fun, special have skipped. there's some points corporate strategy in your clinics case. generally speaking, ations based on the portion a quickbook is showing is really well for sure. what was good, i see is that the same username and it's so horse. and so, i mean, a lot of us can be seen as a, as a court teach us suits if it is only room for, but the sooner it is only name, you know, so much that the little picture of i used to is with the outbreak of world war one, toner, society with splendid sense of going to the russians. one other simpleton, germany, the promise to grunt belinda don't state off the russians defeat. opponents of russia were led by yourself to switch gears of mental family defense. social s

so this kind of threat that's out there and you remember when jim ran for speaker, the people who opposed jim jordan got death threats at home. and i remember i had

so this kind of threat that's out there and you remember when jim ran for speaker, the people who opposed jim jordan got death threats at home. and i remember i had people that, you know, who didn't want to go out, call me and say, hey, you need to get out there and talk

jim crow. my mother in 1970, and he still high school in blakely, georgia. so jim crow, not some abstraction to me, like grew up with those stories, but for my kids know where grandma grew up and grandma grew up like that. so it feels like a movie almost because. they grew up in a very different america. so and so this sort of connection to a historic struggle for equality is the same in terms of the struggle but the history that they connect is different. so they don't connect to jim crow in the way that i do for my kids it's structural racism is the bad guy and so the remedy to structural racism isn't the same remedy to jim crow even though both of them are undergirded by this idea of racial inequality. and so as a result, if you're not if you don't have same partizan loyalty because of the civil act of 64, just like black folks, you know, once were republicans because of the reconstruction amendments and that changed young people today. why should i vote democrat if i don't like views on race or israel and palestine or the economy or climate? why? why shouldn't i trust this trump guy if i already think the country's at least this guy? you know, the economy was a little bit better? i think for young black men, there's a masculinity play in in the factors in as well trump is not masculine sort of the traditional sense i don't see him as like very strong and a man of vigor but is a person that never to there's no comeuppance. no matter he can get convicted, he'll b
