and kimberly guilfoyle used to be married to gavin newsom. and so she helped to sort of officiate or manage that relationship a little bit. but kimberly guilfoyle is now out of the picture, no longer with don jr.. and so there is been a real breakdown in terms of the relationship. and trump is going into office finding someone to blame for these fires. and that's what he does. he finds someone to blame. so the problem isn't his. the problem is someone else's. >> and speaking of someone to blame, i mean, look at the social media posts from trump just in the past week, he's been all over social media attacking gavin newsom, sometimes calling him newscum. that's what he said. even in the wake, immediate wake of this crisis was unfolding. and then he has been attacking him publicly as well, including saying this on thursday. >> i think that gavin is largely incompetent. >> i think it's one of the great catastrophes in the history of our nation. this is not just in los angeles. i've never seen anything like that. devastation, but again, they're go

djtj is engaged to kimberly guilfoyle -- but i guess the orange doesn't fall far from the tree. [ laughterecause this is don jr. having lunch with a socialite named bettina anderson. you can see their sexual chemistry is -- [ laughter ] i mean, look at how she scrolls through her phone while he uses two hands to squeeze a lemon in his iced tea. [ laughter ] it's almost pornographic. and who can blame a lady for being hot for a guy like that? the way he wears his sunglasses on his hat? that chin? it's like michelangelo himself carved him out of pudding. [ laughter ] of course, any -- these stories about them kissing at the table are rumors and nothing more than rumors. and he doesn't need to be bothered with this stuff, he has important things to worry about. like blaming democrats for the attempts on his father's life. >> the media and political left must immediately stop their dangerous rhetoric of blaming president trump for the assassination attempt on his own life. that's not what's happening at all. every notable democrat out there is doing this on a daily basis. they've done it for y

trump describes kimberly guilfoyle as a close friend and ally. she's been named u.s. ambassador to greece. guilfoyle and donald trump jr reportedly became engaged more than two years ago, though the two have not been seen publicly together in months. guilfoyle is the former assistant da in san francisco, as well as the former wife of gavin newsom when he was mayor. mr. trump continues to reiterate his pro cryptocurrency stance. he reiterated plans to create a u.s. bitcoin strategic reserve. bitcoin has seen major gains since his election. he's also created new posts for silicon valley. venture capitalist david sachs as the country's first ever white house ai and crypto czar. in a statement, trump said sachs will work on a legal framework so the crypto industry has the clarity it has been asking for and can thrive in the u.s. in a rare move, fbi director christopher wray plans to resign when president biden's term in office comes to an end. wray is in his seventh year of a ten year term, but with the incoming administration, he was faced with two options he could leave

former fiance, kimberly guilfoyle, to be the ambassador to greece 'cause if there's one thing she lovesrease. [ laughter ] when asked if his fourth senate term will be his last, vermont senator bernie sanders said, "i'm 83 now. i will be 89 when i get out of here. you can do the figuring." it's a little tricky though because he has been 83 for 40 years. [ light laughter ] he is so old, they used to call math the figuring. [ laughter ] president-elect trump attended a gala fundraiser last night for the american's future inc pac. and musician kid rock was honored with the champion for america award. though it really feels like they came up with that award at the last minute. authorities in california recently recaptured a fugitive who had been on the run for eight years after escaping from a federal prison. so, i'm guessing secretary of agriculture? "we like him because he knows how to hide." [ light laughter ] "we need to get hiders back in the government." federal agentsts recentlarrest a man in brooklyn after they allegedly found more than 70 pounds of cocaine in his home. so, if you w

appearances on steve bannon's podcast or talking with other right wing influencers, talking with kimberly guilfoyle to have people go to their website, click through to call, message or social media, you know, post at their republican senator charlie kirk has done something similar. the idea is to pressure gop senators into voting for hegseth or bear the consequences be primaried. that was one of the threats made very directly by charlie kirk to joni ernst on x, and it's been repeated by many others. kirk said he was going to start what he called an encouragement campaign, having live rallies in various states with senators that he thought maybe couldn't be counted on to support trump's cabinet. these are places like utah with john curtis. >> but why are they so hot specifically on hegseth? right. these are major gop donors, right? you got bill koch in here. what's so special about this guy that they want to go all in and back him? he's a guy with a military background who talks on tv for a living, right? that's like huge people in finance, right? right. putting a zillion dollars behind me, being t

remember, newsom's ex-wife dated don junior, kimberly guilfoyle, and now she's going to greece. so out of sight, out of mind. but i don't think trump wants to be accused of politicizing the disaster response like he was last time with some, you know, wildfires in california where he was accused of kind of trying to withhold aid because he knew california was democratic. but i think because of how vast the scale is, he doesn't want to be like george w. bush. after hurricane katrina in terms of not having a great federal response. and of course, there's lots of republicans in california as well that have been affected, especially in those wealthy areas. >> daniel lippman thanks. >> all right. still to come, we're going to go back to california, where the death toll in those fires has now climbed to 16. >> the headwinds that firefighters are facing. that's ahead. >> the whole story with anderson cooper tonight at eight on cnn. 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 choose glucerna to help manage blood su
