some level of competition so that we could have we could have seen her compete against, you know, josh shapiro and amy klobuchar and whoever else wanted to, to get into it. but but all these revelations that are coming out now are troublesome. they're troublesome about the people who protected him in his inner orbit. and and also they're problematic about him. i mean, come on, we heard it from kenny rogers. you got to know when to hold him and know when to fold them. and given the changes in his his life attributable to, you know, growing old, it comes for all of us. um, he should have known to fold the tent and the people around him instead of, listen, can i do this one thing? um, a new spotlight being thrust on his family and the inner circle, says the new york times, whom dismissed concerns from voters and mr. biden's own party that he was too old for the job. and yet they recognized his physical frailty to a greater degree than they have publicly acknowledged. all right. that's that's not from breitbart. that's not from fox news. that's from the times. it's from the times. they had an obli

we've got some great governors gretchen whitmer, wes moore, josh shapiro. >> what about kamala? >> great folks in the senate. >> kamala running again. do you back her? if she does. >> i don't know. that's up to her. >> you don't know. you don't know tommy. you're a big shot with a big podcast. if kamala runs again you don't know if you're going to back her. >> no, i'm going to decide at the time based on who's running. >> you're going. >> to wait? yes. >> you're going to wait. what an endorsement. >> that's crazy to you. >> you're going to. >> wait, did i okay. >> she's not good enough for you. so who's good enough? gavin? he's lit in his whole state on fire. >> jesse, it feels a little early for an endorsement. no one has announced that they're in the race, right? we got we got two years. we got the midterm elections. democrats need to show who they're for, what they're fighting for, and then hold donald trump's feet to the fire. he promised to end the war in ukraine on day one. what? see him do it. he promised to bring down the price of groceries. let's see him do it. >> i'm m

bit of credit for this and kind of give a bit of a um, some booze to the democratic governor, josh shapiro in that state who was very politically ambitious. the other thing he wants to do is kind of a for lack of a better word, kind of spite of the incoming president elect, donald trump, who has also said that he's opposed to this deal and would like to block it. and so he's going to get to it 1st before donald trump can block it himself and essentially try and make this part of his legacy. i mean, the 3rd advise is we're telling him to allow the deal to go ahead and, and he's, i'm saying no, them didn't me. was that or yeah, and that's kind of makes us a bit hypocritical because, you know, for the last 4 years we've talked about how joe biden prides himself on global life . it says he welcomes for an investment. so this is the exact opposite of that. in fact, this is really more of a trump, again type policy america, 1st nationalist. but you have to remember joe biden is a union guy, big union guy. and when it comes to this steel company, it's all about the union's and that's where joe bi

you still have gretchen whitmer, you still have josh shapiro, you still have wes moore.ean, you have. and we're not even talking about the mayors such as frank scott and little rock or or chokwe lumumba or, uh, randall woodfin or andre dickens. et cetera. et cetera. so i think the i think the future is bright. we just have to be able to see it for the clouds. >> well, we will see everyone. thank you. thank you so much for being here tonight. on the eve of the second inauguration. up next, the reunification seen around the world. three israeli hostages finally brought home as the cease fire deal brings new hope to the others who are still waiting. the mother of two children who are awaiting the return of their father, joins me next. >> you give my exams, i give fresh starts, better vision, healthy eyes. everybody wants that hero. doc saves vision. well, hero owl saves money. use your vision insurance for exams, glasses and contacts. all at america's best life diabetes. >> there's no slowing down. each day is a unique blend of people to see and things to do. that's why you

whether it is gretchen whitmer or josh shapiro. tony evers on even gavin newsom. he's obviously come under a lot of scrutiny lately. but that's where that's a tension go is going to be. and also on the republican side, shifting to how republicans in the state work with donald trump. ron desantis has been a big part of so just to reset here for a second, as we as we watch some of the members of trump's here for a second. as we likely cabinet enter up on capitol hill, it is 10, 13 here on the east coast. donald trump right now and melania trump inside the white house meeting with joe biden and joe biden in about 10 minutes time, perhaps even less than that, they will then head to the capitol. that meeting as we take a live look on a beautiful day and snowy d c. our coverage here continues either way. like i could just jump in, shocked, shocked that on the other side of the break. quick quick break. our coverage continues. stay with us. pete g. writes, "my tween wants a new phone. how do i not break the bank?" we got you, pete. xfinity mobile was designed to save you

pennsylvania's own governor, josh shapiro, noted in his press release today that the situation is, in his words, far from over. and certainly there are a lot of officials here at the white house who are wringing their hands over this decision because of the painstaking nature of the review that took place leading up to the decision, and some of the other facts that were behind it. >> jake and and kayla. lawmakers from both both sides strongly oppose the deal, right? including president elect trump. >> president-elect trump has opposed the deal, and he said so just a few weeks ago. and today he put out a post on truth social saying, i am totally against the once great and powerful u.s. steel. rather, this was a few weeks ago, in this case being bought by nippon steel of japan through a series of tax incentives and tariffs, we will make u.s. steel strong and great again, and it will happen fast. as president, i will block this deal from happening. buyer beware. so certainly president biden getting out in front of the potential possibility that trump would then block this deal while in o

. >> but so much political push back, your own senator john fetterman, your own governor josh shapirorris and donald trump who were running for president and president biden, everybody is against this deal. >> well, the issue is the usw, they decide with the usw before they get the facts. get the facts. the usw has misrepresented and tainted this process as well. if they get the facts, they will understand what's real. can you imagine breaking solidarity with a local union not being for -- with the members not being for this because they didn't even ask. we have people that live near where our facilities are, all they have to do is walk across the street and talk with the members. just because a union boss says it is so doesn't mean it is so. get the facts. the truth sets you free. we are the truth tellers and we look forward to this thing concluding with nippon steel being the investor in u.s. steel so that we can get on with running this business and creating some great jobs for the future. growing this business for the future. >> and if it doesn't i know david asked if you would en

when you look at josh shapiro in pennsylvania, wes moore in maryland, there are folks who cut throughing as leaders in government, regardless of our party affiliation. i believe that's what the democratic party stands for, and developing an economic policy that invests in our people is the way that we can get out of this moment and restore ethics and integrity to our leadership by just talking about the basics, fixing the roads, improving our schools, making housing affordable and then solving those tough problems for people and getting things done. >> michigan secretary of state now candidate for governor jocelyn benson, thank you so much for joining us and having this conversation here with us. >> thanks for having me. >> when we come back, there's some breaking news to tell you about from southern california, where brand new fire has blown up over the last few hours. up over the last few hours. we'll have an update on the itch and rash of moderate to severe eczema disrupts my skin, night and day. despite treatment, it's still not under control. but now, i have rinvoq. rinvoq is a o

that is a state that is run by one of the strongest democrats in the country, josh shapiro.re a democrat just got elected governor, you have you have democrats. you have republicans in states like wisconsin where ron johnson, don't ask me how he survived. not the brightest light in the marquee in wisconsin, where tammy baldwin just survived. so, you know, the idea that he's got 53 republicans that will go hard, right? i mean, immediately cast out susan and lisa. they've already shown on the nomination that they're not going to be part of a far right, extreme republican caucus. so, you know, why in the world wouldn't they try to carve out something in the middle that would get a few democrats, maybe not all of them, but get a few from states that are similar to pennsylvania and wisconsin and other places where they will elect both democrats and republicans. it just seems weird to me that they are saying, absolutely no, i don't get it. and they've already got a big problem coming up with how they're going to figure out how to fund the government. >> yeah. john hammond, that de
