kate? >> gabe gutierrez, thank you. >>> in the past hour, the fbi and local officials in new orleans updated us on the attack on bourbon street and they talked about security concerns ahead of the sugar bowl, which now has been postponed in the wake of today's attack. it will be tomorrow night now. here's more of what they told reporters. >> first, i want to acknowledge the victims of today's horrific attack. the fbi and our partners are working diligently to investigate and find answers on behalf of the victims, the citizens and residents of louisiana and everybody visiting. >> my priority will continue to be that those on bourbon street right now will be serviced and removed as soon as possible, but as state the fbi is in charge of the investigation and are doing everything necessary to make this happen. i also want to acknowledge hearing from president biden, all of our federal partners, but most importantly calling governor landry this morning and responded with haste. we do say thank y

kate. >> yes, exactly. and then after what should be an unmomentous hour today, republicans are talking a lot now about their priorities and what they want to do when they get back to work. >> yeah. i mean, what we have seen over the last several days is republicans really cementing around a different strategy than they'd cemented around in december, which is that house republicans, the speaker, in particular, are pushing for one large package, using a process known as reconciliation, which essentially just means that it is something they can pass with just 51 votes. a simply majority in the united states senate. here's why that's a little bit different than what they'd been talking about before. previously, they'd thought of doing two separate bills. john thune, the incoming majority leader in the senate, he had been arguing for trying to pass something in the first 100 days, dealing specifically with border security. his hope is that you could create some kind of momentum around passing something quickly

well, hi there, kate. well, we've reached out to the trump transition team as this vote has unfolded. no response from them just yet. but the president elect so far today, he's right now currently at his golf course in west palm beach. we have not heard from him on camera. as garrett mentioned since new year's eve, when he threw his support behind speaker johnson. garrett is right. the president elect earlier this week, he really threw his support behind johnson in that key endorsement. and look, this is being seen as a key test of party unity. and with his vote failing, could be viewed as a major blow to president elect trump. but i think what it really serves as a reminder, kate, is just how narrow this majority is in the house of representatives and just how challenging all of this will be for the incoming trump administration as it seeks to get its major priorities over the finish line over the next couple of months. as garrett mentioned, though, the more urgent priority is on monday. that's when congr

kate. >> military coercion.hat is what donald trump says he is not ruling out in order to acquire the panama canal and greenland. in a wide ranging press conference yesterday, as we were talking about, the president elect went further than he has before on this foreign policy issue. he's now started with two american allies. here's how it played out. speaking to david sanger of the new york times. >> can you assure the world that as you try to get control of these areas, you are not going to use military or economic coercion? no. >> you're talking about panama and greenland? no. i can assure you on either of those two. but i can say this. we need them for economic security. the panama canal was built for our military. i'm not going to commit to that now. >> now, he has been talking about taking both foreign territories for years, but not going that far for sure. again, lot going on with that press conference. even beyond that, which also means it's time to bring in the fact check. and that is where we bring in c

kate. >> so stephanie is in pacific palisades. we're going to be getting to a guest shortly, also in pacific palisades. but before that, we're starting to get a sense of some of the injuries that people are suffering from the fires as people are trying to run and flee from the fire, civilian and firefighters alike. >> we have obviously had a significant amount of injuries and burns from patients trying to escape the fire. that left too late, and we were able to obviously treat them and bring them to local area hospitals. but we urge everyone to exit immediately while it is still safe. we have a very large mandatory evacuation area and there's safe exit corridors to get out. >> talk about burn injuries, broken bones, head trauma, smoke inhalation injuries a lot. they are dealing with. joining us right now is joining us right now is brant pascoe a battalion chief with cal fire. thanks so much for jumping on the phone. talk to me. what does pacific palisades look like from your perspective this morning? >> yeah, right now i'm sitting

david and kate. kate, i'll start with you. do you know of any polling that he's referring to that actually bears out this idea that the polling indicated he would have beat trump? i, i know of only data to the contrary. >> yeah. >> look, i didn't see any polling at the time when he decided to drop out. >> that would have suggested he would have won. >> that's kind of the tricky thing about polling, though, and this is an argument that we were having at the time he was dropping out. >> polling can't tell you definitively what's going to happen four months, six months from now. but no. was there polling at the time he decided to drop that suggested he would have won that race? no, but look, susan's absolutely right. nobody becomes president of the united states without a sense of confidence. some would say a sense of ego. and i think what, you know, what would you expect him to say? of course he's going to say that. he, you know, he thinks that he could have won. i would have loved to see him answer that question in a way that d

instead, i'm going to turn to kate, kelly, kate, explain to us what happened behind the scenes. okay? joni ernst, understandably, was an early skeptic of this guy. and what many of us, if we're in new york or in dc, have no idea about the gargantuan pressure campaign joni ernst faced, both in d.c. but also back in her home congressional district. explain this to us. >> yeah, that's a really good point, stef. so what i reported on the other day, which seems to be a sort of an unseen below the radar element of the campaign to get that confirmed is large and small, well-financed, well-organized outside groups that support president elect trump and his agenda. >> and along with that, pete hegseth and some of his other cabinet picks are putting large amounts of money, millions of dollars into ads and awareness campaigns, are doing take action campaigns. there's a group called the article three project that i wrote about. this was founded by mike davis, a sort of pugnacious right wing lawyer who helped shepherd brett kavanaugh through his confirmation hearings in 2018 as senior counse

so i'm going to pass it over to kate to kick it off. thanks. hi. thank you so much for that introduction and for having us all. i really excited to be here to talk these two books at a really crucial time for them because there's been a whole lot of talk. the pandemic began about, the great resignation and, quiet quitting and not so quiet quitting. and there's also a lot of stuff going on generationally where i was just recently as i got into bookselling in the past few years, have been working with a lot of people younger than me and, seeing their attitudes that are so and really i'm going to talk to some media about it because she writes about this, the toggle this is great. you should work as little as possible and as much as possible and then be like, what are you doing. so these two books tackle the subject of work in our present day in very different ways. mark's book, working in the 21st century, is they mentioned studs terkel. it's sort of it's part of the legacy of studs book working oral histories with different people, talking about thei
