jonathan white felt so strongly about these issues that he was willing to take the risk, the risk oftalking publicly about his feelings of outrage. to me, he's a hero, an american hero. >> and jacob raabe, it's not easy under this current climate to keep reporting in this very tough way about these policies. how do you plan to keep reporting on this issue? >> i think we have to do exactly what we did when we were invited into those facilities by the trump administration in 2018, which is to hold a mirror up to society to show them what is happening. you know, this movie is really tough to grapple with, and the subject matter is. but it's also, for me, inspiring. it's inspiring because of my fellow journalists who were able to go out there and expose this story for for what it was. it's inspiring because of the career civil servants who were willing to speak up from inside the government. i think it's important to hear those voices because they did everything they could to stop this policy from happening and indeed prevented it from being far worse. and it's inspiring because hundreds

. >> back when i was covering the obama white house, jonathan, even people who did not like the obama'suld talk about the relationship that he and michelle had. when i did a series of exit interviews with people who had been in the administration often for more than the final years had been through both of his >> i think the partnership between the president is important. the two of them were obviously very close partners and i think it's also important again to reflect on the fact that jimmy carter served our country as president for four years. he left the president to speak to more than i can with some negative numbers, because he lost his re-election bid and history has looked so positively and ticked off a whole list of things and might have not made the flashy headlines at the time. thank god for him and for the work he did. we are looking at president biden served four years and a lot of work he did was not necessarily coming to flourish in right now before economic and a lot of work will come from his legislation. we will see in the next 3 to 4 years and it's an example how hist

that there is no other sort of copycat attack like this, jonathan. >> jonathan: david, we are grateful to have you there at the white course your unmatched contact at the department of justice today. thank you so much, david spunt. julie? >> julie: multiple local law enforcement officials are saying there is a possibility the driver did not act alone. let's bring in former nypd lieutenant darrin porcher. the fact they have been able to so quickly identify the shooter, the driver who is now dead, the prime suspect as not the person who necessarily acquired this vehicle in the first place certainly speaks to the level of fast investigation and volume in which they managed to get so much evidence, especially out of new year's day so quickly. so far what they have been able to glean, what is your take a away? >> it is fortunate law enforcement has been able to marry into technology and as a result we see it manifesting information in such a quick time. one thing we also want to look to is the city of new orleans is a metropolitan city that has cameras. we had two different ieds that were recovered in that area. we are g

white house. >>> julie? >> thank you, appreciate it. >>> jonathan? >> all right, let's bring in ted williams, former dc homicide detective. >>> it was interesting to me watching that news conference with federal and local officials and hearing a number of them refer to several suspects in their words or in the words of althea duncan, fbi special agent in charge. they're on the hunt for others who took part in some way in the planning or perpetration of this attack. >> you know, jonathan, you're absolutely right. when i listened to that press conference, i came away with the fact that we have a city on edg edge, meaning new orleans, louisiana right now is very much on edge because you heard the superintendent of police there using the words "these people". you heard senator kennedy, the senator from louisiana used the word other bad guys. you heard the governor landry says we're hunting bad people. so, that told me right then and there that we're not dealing with a lone wolf. we're dealing with other individuals that the authorities are trying to hunt

jonathan: the round table is here. we have former dnc chair donna brazile, former trump white house chief of staff, reince priebus, abc political director, rick klein, and abc news contributing political correspondent and politico capitol bureau chief, rachael bade. thank you all for being here. okay, donna. i got to put you on the spot. sorry. we just heard what biden said. he said that he thought he would have won the election? he said it twice now. >> first of all, let me just set the table right. joe biden thought he could win because after his debate performance, he received polling that showed that he wasn't sliding, that the -- that things had stalled, but that he still had a chance. look. it was 24 of the most agonizing days i think in democratic party history, until the president made the decision to step back -- >> jonathan: the 24 days between the debate and him dropping out? >> agonizing because we had no playbook. look. joe biden thought because he had beaten trump before in 2020, that he had the playbook to win. i don't think so. i think before he answered that question in the interview with susan page,

white house for four years. what stands out to you, jonathan, as being maybe the basic pillars of that legacy of service?k that he was a flawed politician but a visionary american leader. so i first got interested in writing a book about him when i learned that he was talking about global warming in the 1970s before anybody anywhere in the world in any kind of leadership position was doing so. and if he had been reelected, he wanted electric cars by the mid-1980s. he was basically 30 years ahead of his time on that issue. but achieved a lot on the environment and on other issues. so it really surprised me that i had, and i think a lot of other people had sort of underestimated his achievements while in office. they were overshadowed by the fact that he was shellacked by ronald reagan in 1980. so he was a political failure but a very successful leader. if you look at the actual legislative record. and then he was the only, you know, president who used the presidency as the former president of emery university said as a steppingstone to a whole nother career of service, in which he revolutionized and redef

duty as we sat side by side in her dimly lit kitchen, she me how to prepare jonathan's bottle with each movement. i heard the white linoleum floor creak beneath feet. her instructions were quickly in keeping with the bluntness of her personality, and her words came through with the confit of a mother who'd done all of this. many times. if wakes up at night, make sure you don't put him in bed with you. make sure you don't put diaper on too tight. you cannot deeply because you won't hear him cry both few nights. jonathan didn't need much more than someone he could count on to feed him, bathe him, quote him, and keep him safe. my confidence grew with each passing day, while not while my role in his life went from caregiver to something more. i knew how to attend to his basic needs, but inside i was conflicted about allowing myself to too fully feel like his mother because his biological mother very much alive, even before he he'd released from the hospital everything in his life was already complicated. child protective services. my family, everyone had an opinion about who this tiny baby boy should live with, includ

the senate's will be coming down and ultimately we will be meeting in the white house. jonathaniscuss his agenda with senate republicans, signaling he would accept two separate packages to push his agenda through. rob casey says the most likely path forward for the now seated republican congress is one massive, all-encompassing reconciliation package. the most significant issue for republicans is timing. speaker johnson's goal of april is ambitious." rob, good morning. canada becoming the 51st state, renaming the gulf of mexico, a range of issues including greenland, panama. rob: you have to see through a lot of that noise. canada will not be the 51st date. greenland will not be the 52nd state. both said that clearly as if they had to. intermixed we were talking about 5% of a contribution to nato. we are talking about energy, the border, all these things that really are policy priorities. you have to ignore the candidate and the -- canadas and greenlands of the news conferences and focus on what matters. annmarie: and the panama canal. what is he getting at? rob: they are geopol

jonathan, thank you. >> dean can kriz well is coming to the white house.weather is expected to get worse in terms of the winds. there's another high pressure system building over the great basin and in eastern nevada, utah area and that will increase the chance for more wildfires this weekend as those winds blow. we don't know how fast they'll go at this opponent but as it comes down out of the high desert which is about 4,000 feet elevation and they come across the mojave desert they are drying out and then they hit the san the gabriel mountains and they go over the top and down, and if you are familiar with the principal, as you narrow down the space that something has to go through it gets faster and faster. that's the way carburetors work and that's what happens with the wins and that's why those blowing 40 miles an hour can get up to 90 miles an hour as it crosses then into the coastal area of california and that's what we saw on tuesday night into wednesday. >> wow. these pictures are so shocking as many of them as we have seen. just shocking every s

jonathan: meta with three new directors to the board, including ultimate fighting championship ceo dana whitel supporter of donald trump. lisa: another one of the big tech companies that are adding more conservative members to their boards. this comes after mark zuckerberg has a relationship with dana white going back. it is not completely out of the blue. it kind of speaks to the point we were making about companies are adjusting and adapting to the new political regime and at a very quick pace. annmarie: the election showed this is a center-right country. it is not just dana white. i just remember trump being at the rnc talking about he decided to leave his vacation early to come here personally to introduce trump, not melania trump, dana white introducing trump at the rnc. you do think of the trump world. nick clegg is out. joel kaplan now has to deal policy. jonathan: the winds of change. we will see a lot more this. prime minister justin trudeau resigning as head of the liberal party after more than nine years in power. >> i have always been driven by my love for canada and canadians des

. >> the white house's attempt, it would send up a signal flare. jonathan this should not be new news to any cnbc audience. we've been covering this story now for going on four years. is there a way to look back and say what was the main mistake or mistakes that europe and its leaders made because europe and the uk is in really bad shape. >> for sure. we have had investment in -- in the uk and europe and relatively little investment in storage in the uk and europe. there are enormous investments happening which i'm delighted about running a sustainability company in renewables but at the same time the energy system needs to sort itself out. the biggest piece of it -- the biggest piece that i would refer to is -- enormous u.s. do but even more in europe. roughly two thirds of the european energy system when it comes to making electricity for example, roughly two thirds of the energy used to make electricity is lost basically through generations, natural gas systems, transmission distribution, let alone -- the biggest state mistake europe has made is it hasn'

we were all white sox fans. >> watching him hit like 40 bombs for the white sox. >> this is the only reason you wanted me and jonathane jokes, what is more important than us being amused? >> actually, we kept going, with his fake phone churchill quotes. >> we have a lot to get to, you have seen this in washington, we have a full table and a lot to get to this morning including a state of emergency in southern california this morning as high wind around los angeles fuel a rapidly spreading wildfire, that is destroying homes and forcing massive evacuations right now. >> reporter: panic in the pacific palisades. as a wind driven wildfire blazes through one of southern california's most iconic neighborhoods. >> people are panicking and it is a parking lot, there's about a one hour wait. >> i rushed over here to pack my belongings and i got the evacuation orders. >> reporter: multiple homes burning with multiple people being told to get out, many abandoning their cars in the gridlock traffic. fire crews using a bulldozer to push cars out of the way to clear a path. >> we are in bumper-to-bumper traffic right now, you can

jonathan? >> priya at the carter center in atlanta, thank you very much for that report. when president carter left the white house in 1981, his gallup approval rating was 34%. cascading crises helped push it there from high gas prices to the 444-day iran hostage crisis, but in june 2023 more than four decades after he left office, carter's retrospective job approval rating was 57%. time and the perspective that comes with it allows us to view a presidency with a better understanding and appreciation of what they achieved. the passing of jimmy carter has given the nation an opportunity to look back on his one-term presidency with new appreciation. domestically, president carter appointed the first black woman to a cabinet position. he created the department of energy to promote independence from fossil fuels and installed the first solar panels at the white house. and he took great risks on the world stage. despite great opposition at home, he succeeded in turning over the panama canal to panama, thus improving the u.s.''s standing with the nations of central and south america. "the new york times" called ti

jonathan: it has been very busy the last few days, and the white house saying the president is stayingfocused on directing the full federal response in the days ahead. lisa: this is probably more on par with the tone, they say the mayor of los angeles, who i believe is still not in the u.s. but gonna, but there is a question about how you prevent this from going forward and then how you tackle this in real time when they're running out of water. it is a catastrophe and it raises questions about how you prevent this, we develop and ensure properties, were a lot of them had stopped being insured because insurance companies could not raise the premium, so they got out of california altogether. we will call it what ever we would like but we are dealing with the aftermath for quite a while. jonathan: i think the issue the mayor has got is that issue of the u.s. president, i'm not sure how much the president of the united states is doing now to help powell, but if he was in italy, he would be criticized. lisa: so it is a public relations thing. he's not fighting the fire, a lot of this is im

his popularity soared after he left the white house, but we have been talking and thanks to jonathan'srity, as you can imagine. five for me president -- former presidents and their spouses. you've got former president obama. iso the children, the former governor of virginia here. you got the nixon daughters, julie and tricia. there is an enormous amount of bipartisan spirit in the members of congress. >> go ahead. >> reporter: i was just saying, jonathan noting the rotunda yesterday was filled with people. >> well, it was astonishing to me to see so many young people. were waiting in the cold for up to five hours to file past jimmy carter's coffin. his flag draped coffin. in the rotunda where john f. kennedy lay in state after the assassination in 1963 and so many others. being brought back so many memories that were not necessarily personal, but almost historic that relate to our sense of who we are as a country. and this is what i think drew the crowds last night in the bitter cold, the hope of the young people that we can do better, that we can have leadership in this country that i

jonathan lemire, he's now a contributing writer at the atlantic covering the white house and national politics. >> so a lot to get to this morning. >> those hearings yesterday were quite something. they really were at a different time. >> things might go differently, but this isn't a different time. >> and when we get to a wall street journal editorial page basically said. >> pete hegseth got a free pass. democrats weren't able to make any positive advances forward. >> and meanwhile, the republicans just again gave him a free pass. and he got by with with with just general general answers. they end by saying mr. hegseth made noises about restoring the us military. but it appears we're on track to have a secretary of defense whose real views are a mystery. >> let's hope he rises to the occasion. we'll. we'll see. >> yep. >> but we got to start with our top story out west and the winds just making things worse. >> and they keep coming, willie. >> yeah, they actually were a little bit better than forecast yesterday. but today is shaping up to be a really difficult day. the death toll fro

white worshippers. >> yeah. >> and he taught sunday school there almost every sunday for 40 years. >> wow. it's such a legacy. jonathanionship with president carter. he planned these services, we have seen this week, himself. what do you make of how it's all gone and the message he wanted to leave behind? you are talking about the legacy he left with that beautiful diverse church. >> yeah, i mean, i think that the service was very evocative. it was politically significant. i wish there had been a lip-reader there to determine what barack obama was saying to donald trump and what trump was saying back to him. so this was one of these moments in the life of a nation where everybody comes together. you had five presidents there. and it's very important that we have these civic rituals because in addition to it being a religious service, it represented a kind of civic religion. we are all supposed to believe in. carter very much believed in bring people together. he was a diplomat. in addition to being president, his view was, it's easy to bring friendly nations or friendly people to go. the hard thing is bringing enemies

white house. kyra. >> let's bring in our chief washington correspondent, jonathan karl. now, john trump has made it very clear that he doesn't respect this judge, saying mershon was working really hard to try and embarrass him. marchand's ruling, however, proving that no one, even the president, is above the law, at least in this case, kyra. >> look, donald trump on one hand, there's no punishment for this. he got convicted by a duly sworn jury after a criminal trial that looked like any other criminal trial in so many ways. i was in that courtroom for some of that trial, donald trump was compelled to be there. he had to sit at the at the defense table. he had to listen to the witnesses against him, all like a regular criminal defendant. but despite the fact that there is no actual punishment, what this does, as you heard from aaron, in the words of the judge, is it cements his status as a convicted felon, not just a convicted felon, but the only convicted felon to serve as president of the united states. of course, the other trials for what many of trump's critics would

white house from camp david early this afternoon, ashley. ashley: all right, lucas, thank you very much for that. former dhs official jonathan morning. jonathan, we now know, apparently, that the suspect is a former army veteran. he had an isis flag and suspected homemade explosives were also found. my question is, how can an american citizen who servedded his country become, apparently, so radicalized like this? >> that's a great question, and i think that's something we, hopefully, the fbi and investigators will find out over time because, you know, one thing that joe biden didn't say last night, he didn't make any reference the radical islamic terrorism, he just reference are.ed he was -- referenced he was a u.s. citizen and in the military. this seemed almost defensive speech in addition to conveying an overall anything but confidence coming from him. i think those questions will be honored, and it'll also be interesting to to see who he was associated with, who he was online with, what sites he was on, who he's chatting with, what he's talking about because is this isolated? are there bigger connections? are there inter

white house into the courtroom and in evidence. they didn't really need to do that and you feel that was hurting their case completely. jonathan this who he and you have been very critical of throughout this entire process. the hole point of a trophy kill case is the trophy itself and he will formerly label the president-elect a convicted felon and it would be a sound bite in the historical footnotes that would be repeated mantra like in the media. your thoughts on that? >> i think john is right about that and they would be doing it anyway. people like me were out there saying he's not a convicted felon and tilley's get sentenced in the judges entered. that doesn't stop them from using this rhetoric in the campaign so i don't know how much impact it'll actually have but there's no doubt the only reason they are doing this is they want to brand trump a convicted felon. there's no other law enforcement or judicial reason for it. he's already said that even though he agrees that this was the crime of the century, where trump supposedly stole the 2016 election, he's not going to sentence him to any jail time or any probation. this

jonathan: present by looking to block the sale after more than a year of opposition to the deal. the whitelater on today with questions mounting on what is ahead for both companies. michael shepard joins us. how close are we to close an book on this whole story? >> it could be a matter of hours, at least from the administration's point of view. we are expecting president biden to put out his announcement of a decision to block the deal. he had not said outright, neither had the white house, that he would actually do this but for months -- and we saw in that clip going back to april -- he has signaled his opposition to this deal, which was announced more than a year ago. the opposition that the administration has signed it is rooted in not only national security grounds, but political grounds. he is surrounded by steelworkers and that clip. this was very much an issue that was sensitive for this prolabor president. also has roots in pennsylvania, where u.s. steel is headquartered. lisa: what happens to u.s. steel if this is over? >> that is a great question because they're going to have to

we will go through white knuckle moments but my view is you by the winners on those opportunities. that will be the theme this year. jonathan number one pick for 2025, what is it? dan: to me it continues to be nvidia. the reason is there is only one game in town when it comes to ai. it is the godfather of ai. stocks sold off. we sit here and with apple will be the first one in that exclusive for chile dollar market. jonathan: the stock is up -- good to see you. thanks for being here. for an update on stories elsewhere here is dani burger. dani: chinese stocks posted there were start to a year in nearly a decade. the csi 300 closing lower by 3%. data posted earlier this morning showed a slower pace of expansion in december. in december china signaled more public borrowing and spending in 2025 with a shift of policy vocus and consumption and repair the economy week links. shares tumbled by a record in hong kong after alibaba agreed to sell its holdings in the -- the chinese e-commerce giant could receive up to $1.6 billion from the sale to dcb capital, much less than the $3.6 billion it paid in 2020. that deal accelerates ali

elon musk has the power, to the white house, to the president-elect, he will likely act the incoming chair to withdraw the case. i think this is a tbd situation. jonathaniting for a conclusion. santa ana winds and dry conditions threatening to expand wildfires across los angeles with 10 million people at risk. 88,000 remaining under evacuation orders and almost 85,000 under warnings. heather zehr, welcome to the program. what is the latest on this front? heather: winds have not been stronger than yesterday which is to say that most of the wind gusts have been between 40 and 60 miles per hour. a little bit of progress to contain the fires. the interesting thing with the wind has been we had around the palisades fire offshore winds in the vicinity of malibu. on the eastern side of the fire the wind has been a little onshore. that helped firefighting efforts there. dani: the wind is one thing and the expansion of the fires. what about the starting of new fires? that's one of the features we have seen of this. everyplace feels like a ground for a new fire. are there more threats and more conditions that could cause that to happen and more growth in the are

after jonathan civil war wendy 13th, 14th, 15th amendments were passed and then let me ask you all, when did the women get the right to vote? [inaudible] that's not right. [laughing] that's when white women got the right to vote. that's a very important thing to remember because in 1920, the constitution was passed but we couldn't discriminate because of sex, it just really included whitedn women. it wasn't until thirtysomething years later that the civil rights laws were passed when lyndon johnson was president, that's the civil rights movement and african american women also got the right to vote. so that was an important issue. and then the 24th amendment came along later and she didn't have to pay poll tax. but until then in the south come some southern states you had to pay a poll tax in order to vote. there's been a step-by-step progression element, i would say in the in the '60s and '70s, the united states kind of breeds a sigh of relief because harry truman when i was in a submarine ordained in 1940 said there would be no discrimination in the military or the civil service. that was about seven years before rosa parks sat in the front of a bus and became famous as a leader

us this morning we have cohost of our fourth hour, jonathan lemire, msnbc political analyst, elise jordan. she's a former aide to the george w bush white house and state department and us special correspondent for bbc news, katty kay. katty. a few things have jumped out in this morning's paper to me. let me read a couple, one from the new york times. the authorities reported making some headway on sunday, in which the fight against and the fight against these fires, which are still burning out of control and have devoured listen to this, have devoured a combined area larger than the city limits of san francisco, boston or miami. it's extraordinary the size and scale. and also, while these firefighters and heroes first responders are fighting the fires and fighting to save lives, the wall street journal has a front page story. biggest story across the front that talks about la officials race to fight rumors and conspiracy theories, and how that's getting in the way of what they're trying to do. and there, the wall street journal writes quotes. lapd public information officer scott says, we're trying to battle the most devastating natura

jonathan: donald trump calling for the debt limit to be abolished before he returns to the white houseesident saying that trump was right last week when he raised the red flag of the debt limit that the outgoing government is leaving a tailor-made debt crisis mr. trump to complicate his work to cut taxes quickly and rebuild u.s. strength. david joins us for more. always good to catch up with you, david. that one line in the op-ed, tailor-made debt crisis. can you explain that a bit more? david: that's right, this has been coming on for two years. they kind of planned it so that the new president, the next president would have the problem . congress spent all the money. it's tailor-made for a crisis. if you don't raise the debt ceiling, you have a default on the national debt. what i wanted them to consider is rewriting the debt limit so that it actually works. you've got to stop the spending before it happens rather than after you have already spent it. lisa: over the weekend we heard from mike johnson that there will be one big beautiful bill in april and it will be put through by rec

jonathan alter spent many hours with carter for a biography. >> there was much more accomplishment in the carter presidency than i had thought. >> reporter: famous for wearing sweaters to dramatize how he turned down the whiteamount of land in our national parks. and in one of his most important and controversial initiatives, carter negotiate the return of the panama canal zone to the panamanians. >> this opens a new chapter in our relations with all nations of this hemisphere. >> reporter: perhaps his crowning foreign policy accomplishment was pushing through the camp david accords. the historic 1978 agreement between israel and egypt. >> and that treaty is the most successful peace treaty since world war ii. >> reporter: and in 1979, other middle east issues would lead to gasoline shortages that created high prices and long waits at gas stations. carter's popularity plummeted. and in july, he decided to give a speech to the nation warning of a crisis in confidence. >> too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. >> reporter: much to the surprise of many politicos and pundits, the speech was immediately popular. >> it hit a raw nerve contrary to my own belief. and then he stepped on

jonathan, the reverend andrew young. we are going to look for that, but there is an expertise. here it is. here it is. >> just about 20% to 25% of the population was whitethe friend of the majority. when he went into the naval academy, he asked his roommate to be the first black midshipmen to come to indianapolis. he said, i know minority. i have been a minority most of my life and maybe i can help him in his adjustments. >> folks like you probably knew that story there. there is a generation of americans who may have seen some of this and you may not have washed the live coverage, but they might see it on social media platforms and might be hearing that story for the first time and it was a beautiful one. your thoughts about his life and moment? >> so, you mentioned young people, nicole. i went last night to the capitol rotunda and people were waiting for five hours to get into see the coffin on abraham lincoln's -- i was so impressed and inspired by the fact that many of these thousands of people waiting in the cold for young. they want to be inspired. they know we can do better. jimmy carter was a moral exemplar for them. he led with his deeds, so, r

jonathan. president biden said the suspect was inspired by isis, the president's words. he had been flying an isis flag on the back of the white pickup truck. but the more that emerges about this man, the more perplexing it is. he doesn't hit the profile of a radicalized, isis terrorist. 42 years old, u.s. army veteran, six-figure job at an accounting firm, father of three children, twice married and divorced. appeared to have a mental break. his brother called it radicalization. there are reports he made facebook videos vowing to kill. president biden referred to that. shortly before he carried out this attack. one of the questions remaining, jonathan, in terms of the investigation, did he have accomplices? there has been a lot of confusion on this point. the fbi, assistant special agent in charge in new orleans, said clearly at a briefing yesterday, we don't believe he acted alone. other officials at the briefing said that they were on the lookout for other bad guys, as they put it. but after that briefing, we at nbc news had some reporting. we talked to senior law enforcement officials who said that may have been based on a

jonathan: the shocking pictures are shocking. our thoughts are with the people of los angeles and beyond. let's turn to nvidia slamming new restrictions the vibe administration is expected to announce soon, sang the whiteying to undercut the incoming trump administration. it would cap the sale of usa ai chips. lisa: some of the statements coming out of the policy represented from nvidia are basically trying to shame president biden into reversing. this is not looking good for your legacy. this hampers the ability for the united states to be the dominant technology around the world. all this will do is increase the competition from others. the issue is who are our friends? we talked about this yesterday. this is the dominant technology and this ban would potentially illuminate the u.s.'s ability or nvidia's ability to build data centers around the world. jonathan: they are making the argument for the republicans that the outgoing president is looking to undercut the incoming president. lisa: we have seen a lot of unusual things. some people would argue this is trying to cater to the trump presidency. jonathan: who is making this push inside the administration? there's a question about the cognitive abil
