kristi noem the next homeland security secretary. mr. trump sending a strong signal of support to israel naming former arkansas governor mike huckabee as ambassador to israel. more now on the growing trump white house team and what it all mean. >> reporter: president-elect trump tapping top allies and marco rubio as his picture for secretary of state. he would be an historic choice. he would be the first latino to hold the position. rubio was a fierce trump rival in 2016 and supporter in this year's campaign. >> when he is president, that ends and our enemies will know we are strong. that will bring about peace and avoid war. >> hawkish views honed in the senate and thinks the war in ukraine should come to a swift end. >> at the end of the day we are funding a stalemate war that needs to be brought to a conclusion. >> reporter: a trump ally describing rubio as less maga as other options and is already getting bipartisan support. john fetterman posting that rubio is a strong choice who i look forward to voting for his confirmation and the

and kristi nome with no experience with homeland security.is very disturbing i think for everyone who believes that the system ought to be actually fixed. rather than simply a draconian round them up and throw them out the way that steve miller seems to want to control the immigration system in this country. >> and the president will be walking with several more senators. there is some consternation with capitol hill about the narrow majority he is named two house republicans from safe seats. it takes a while to hold special elections. so they are reducing by two which could be a majority in single numbers. >> sure. as donald trump meets with house republicans tomorrow, i'm sure they will be jocular about this. but they will say stop poaching from us. we fled to hear from you here in the house chamber. part of the challenge is if you look at stefonic, her race would probably be safe for republicans but the appointment that would happen in the meantime would potentially be a democrat by a democratic governor. so there are issues of concern the

governor kristi noem will be his dhs secretary pick.w great is that? how great is that news? some people wanted her at interior. they thought that was a better choice. nevertheless, she will be heading dhs it looks like. >> yeah, she has got her hands full. will is something like 265,000 people at homeland security. got about 65,000 that are at the transportation secretary administration. you have the secret service. you got fema. you got the federal law enforcement training center. the coast guard. you got the secret service. and well, then of course you have got the border issues. >> laura: we have got to roll, guys. great breaking news. thanks for hanging with us. all right, jimmy failla, next. ♪of y and it begins with taking care of yourself. protect yourself with this season's flu, covid-19, and rsv vaccines. risk less. do more. >> it's time -- it's time for wtf. joining me now is... great to see you, it's been way too long, where have you been? some post trump victory coping problems in california. a student wore something to clas

so that's one part of this and kristi noem is similar. donald trump's opinion of her soured after she detailed in her book that she had killed her 14-month-old dog, cricket, but when i talk to people around donald trump about this decision, they say he needed someone at the top of dhs who was going to do what he wanted them to do. and that's what they are expecting with kristi noem. >> i hope our bosses are watching and they give you a bonus for doing that so flawlessly with whatever banging is going on behind you. >> construction. >> before i let you go, i do want you to tell us about the new reporting you have on jd vance and what his role has been in this transition so far >> reporter: it's really interesting, dana, because there's been one person who's been at our lago every single day, who's been an omnipresent person by donald trump's side, that's not vance, it's elon musk. he was there with trump on election day and he was going home to spend time with his family but he returned to mar-a-lago yesterday. when i talk to people workin

and kristi noem to serve as homeland security secretary. noem with little experience in some of the areas she would oversee like fema and the secret service, noem recently touting trump's mass deportation plan. >> president trump indicated he wants to start by making sure we are deporting the most dangerous first, criminal, rapists, murderers. >> and tomorrow president-elect trump is expected to visit the white house. >> reporter: that is right. president biden invited him to the white house, something president trump did not do in 2020. melania trump is not expected to attend. >> there is breaking news about u.s. flights over haiti. the faa ordered flights not to fly over the haitian capital. >> reporter: american airlines is the third carrier to report one of the planes was hit by gunfire leaving port-au-prince monday. a post flight inspection was completed indicating the exterior of the aircraft was impacted by a bullet. hit by gunfire over port-au-prince, spirit 951, forced to abort the landing as bullets tore into the passenger cabin.

kristi noem had been on the short list for vice president a few months ago. yet to hear from the governor on the news. president-elect trump has been calling on senate to move quickly to approve his nominees. trump expected to ask marco rubio to be his secretary of state. marco rubio is vice chair of senate intelligence committee and foreign affairs and he's received a lot of attention as he called for u.s. to do more to show support for israel. >> iran is looking to hurt israel and drive america out of the region and destroy israel. this group wants to destroy israel, hamas exists to destroy israel. you have to eliminate it. i don't think they will ask us nor do they need us in that regard. >> trump has chosen michael waltz as national security adviser, major question for incoming administration, how it handles ukraine going forward in the war with russia. waltz talked to fox from ukraine a few years ago and tsdz there should be limits when it comes to providing support for ukraine. >> helping with logistics, integrating intelligence is important. >> israel'

just keep it away from kristi noem. you know? the relationship between trump and musk, let's go live to mar-a-lago with michael kosta. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] michael. michael, the world's richest man and the president of the united states are colluding out of the public eye. this is corruption waiting to happen. >> god, you're cynical, jordan. for you, the glass is half empty, but for me, the glass is a shiny mirror, covered in cocaine. you may see trump and elon as two billionaires colluding to promote their own self interests, but i see a blossoming friendship between two men. and in a time when male friendship is in recession, i think that's something that we should be celebrating. [laughter and applause] >> jordan: what are you talking about? these are two wealthy moguls taking advantage of the system. >> okay. so there's going to be some conflicts of interest. yes, we're all going to have elon's computer chips installed in our brains. but what's more important? government-mandated neurosurgery, or two ol

our own mike inouye will join kristi tonight at six to cut the ribbon on this year's ice rink. the rink is open daily with sessions throughout the day through january 5th. now there are few breaks for the holiday sprinkled in. you can buy tickets to visit city center bishop ranch.com to get those. all right. and look to plan your day. you could have gotten this early if you joined us for today in the bay. we start every morning at 5 a.m. we go to seven monday through friday. can't wait to see you there and can't wait to see what you do on the ice skating rink. i'm marcus washington. back to you. thanks, marcus. this weekend we are officially kicking off our nourishing neighbors program and thanks to the magic of bay area food banks, a $10 donation, ten bucks. yes, it can be turned into two full meals, but would never be possible without your help. our vianey arana joins us from the santa clara safeway at rivermark plaza and vianey. it's so easy to do. tell us how it works. reporter. hey, janelle. very easy. tomorrow we officially kick off the nourishing our neighbors food drive

we've seen kristi noem -- at one point, she was on the short list, right? we thought months ago that kristi noem could potentially be his vice presidential running mate. she's always stayed close to him. that's why she's put in that position. same thing with lee zeldin as well. someone who has gotten very close to the president, has been on the campaign trail quite a bit. even on this show when we were talking, said, lee zeldin and waltz are both down at mar-a-lago. i guess it doesn't matter, as long as you have somebody who's loyal, then that's all you need. >> i'm also curious to get your thoughts on the use of czars. i mentioned tom homan a moment ago. he's going to sort of help shepherd immigration policy alongside stephen miller, but you also have this sort of rumor floating out there that doug burgum is being considered for energy czar. does this have to do with senate confirmation, because it seems like burgum would have a decent chance if appointed to a cabinet position. >> if he decides to go that way with burgum, perhaps burgum doesn't want to be

he named south dakota governor kristi noem to lead the department of homeland security.rida congressman mike waltz has been tapped to serve as trump's national security advisor. and late today, trump picked former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe to be his choice to head the cia. it is a busy time here in washington as america's new government is taking shape, and we have a team of correspondents on hand to break it all down for you, beginning with cbs's weijia jiang, who is covering the trump transition in west palm beach, florida. good evening, weijia. what a busy day. >> reporter: good evening to you, norah. every staffing announcement provides further confirmation that trump rewards those who are devoted to him and passionate about implementing his agenda, which includes untangling the u.s. from foreign conflicts and his signature item, securing the border. >> make no mistake, an invasion of our country is happening and our border is a war zone. >> reporter: south dakota governor kristi noem is considered a hard-liner on immigration, and if confirmed

expected to name south dakota governor kristi noem to head the department of homeland security.hich oversees immigration. and sources tonight telling abc news that senator marco rubio will likely become trump's secretary of state. and just in tonight, trump's pick to head the cia. here's rachel scott. >> reporter: tonight, president-elect donald trump expected to name one of his staunchest campaign supporters -- >> are you ready? >> reporter: south dakota governor kristi noem to lead the massive department of homeland security. a true trump loyalist, noem a fixture on the campaign trail. >> yes, they love you. you're the one who protects them. >> reporter: trump once considered noem as a potential running mate, but her star dimmed after writing in her memoir that she had shot and killed the family dog. as dhs secretary, the former congresswoman will oversee fema, the secret service, and the coast guard. but her key focus will be on immigration, i.c.e., and the border patrol. noem will be tasked with implementing the president-elect's signature campaign promise of mass deportatio

kristi noem, i think she is great. head of dhs here at the current head of the dhs light to us, told us the border was secure -- the current head of the dhs lied to us, told us the border was secure. there were millions coming over, and we were told there was no problem. i think kristi noem will be great. i wanted to mention, someone talked about how trump did not wear a mask. well, keep in mind that anything other than the n95 or kn95 mask had no value whatsoever. so we were all told to wear masks, but those masks did absolutely no good whatsoever. thanks for taking my call. host: thanks, robin, in maryland. this is pennsylvania, steve, good morning, republican. what is the most important cabinet pick? caller: it is a hard stretch to say what is the most important. the department of homeland security could certainly be cut completely, as far as i am concerned. combating terrorism with another gigantic bureaucratic nightmare of a department is wasting time, effort, and money. the first caller talked about robert f. ken

now, kristi noem, the governor, she is also a very interesting pick. definitely someone that donald trump wanted to be a loyalist at the top there at dhs. and really, she'll be working very closely with stephen miller and tom homan on the white house's immigration plans. immigration plans, i should say, the agenda is likely going to be really controlled out of the white house, more so than the department of homeland security. now, we did actually hear from lara trump, the rnc co- chair, and also his daughter-in- law, about some of the thinking behind these picks. i want you to take a listen to what she said. >> the people he's putting alongside of him are people who are going to prioritize the american people's mandate, to secure our southern border, to roll back regulations that are stifling small businesses, to re- gain our standing on the world stage, as the superpower and the leader of the free world. that's what america voted on and that is what donald trump is prioritizing. prioritizing. >> so you heard it there herself, sara. and look, i mean, l

shot and killed her 14- month-old dog cricket because cricket was an trainable, the reason governor kristi noem thought that would be a good anecdote to recall because she thought she would illustrate her willingness to do anything difficult, messy and ugly if it simply needs to be done. after that story did not land exactly the way she thought it might, she treated that shooting her 14-month-old dog wasn't easy but often the easy way isn't the right way. this is the person that donald trump is planning to nominate to run the department of homeland security in his upcoming administration. and just to be clear, south dakota is closer to the canadian border than the southern border but for whatever reason, donald trump picked kristi noem to be his homeland security secretary, dog killing and all. and the wildest part is that so far out of everyone trump has topped to run his immigration policy, dog killing kristi noem is probably the most normal of the bunch.>> you grab illegal immigrants and you them to the staging ground, then you deputize the national guard to carry out immigration enforc

-- >> reporter: kristi noem to lead the massive department of homeland skurtd. a true trump loyalist. noem a fixture on the campaign trail. >> yes, they love you. you're the one who protects them. >> reporter: trump once considered gnome as a potential running mate, but her star dimmed after writing in her memoir that she had shot and killed the family dog. as dhs secretary, the former congresswoman will oversee fema, the secret service, and the coast guard. but her key focus will be on immigration. i.c.e., and the border patrol. noem will be tasked with implementing the president's elect's signature campaign promise of mass deportations. >> president trump has already indicated that he wants to start by making sure that we're deporting the most dangerous first. those criminals, murderers, rapists, that are threatening safety in our communities. they're going to be the first ones on the list to go. >> reporter: gnome expected to work hand-in-hand with trump's incoming deputy chief of staff steven miller, and with newly named border czar, tom homan. who says that

more loyalists and tapping the former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe and he chose kristi noem to be his new secretary of homeland security and also named the former arkansas governor mike huckabee his ambassador to israel and he is a hard-line supporter who almost designed -- denied the existence of palestinians as people. >> the really is no such thing and i would be careful saying this because people -- >> the president-elect travels from washington tomorrow to meet with president biden and also tomorrow the republican senators will meet to decide what has been a hotly contested race to become the majority leader and things are moving fast in the sources kaitlan collins is near mar-a-lago so let's talk about pete hegseth to run the pentagon. how big of a surprise is that? >> a bit of a surprise in terms of how quickly these are happening and he has long been on trump's radar in the two-time -- and iraq war veteran with two bronze stars but much better known to the president-elect from his stint as a fox news host cohosting the program on the weekends and i remember when

let's move onto kristi noem. nominated for homeland security. yes kristi noem.sti noem. nominated for homeland security. yes and she is a long-time _ homeland security. yes and she is a long-time hardliner- homeland security. yes and she is a long-time hardliner as - homeland security. yes and she is a long-time hardliner as far l is a long—time hardliner as far as immigration policy is concerned. she is the south dakota governor currently and with the other people looking to take on the challenge, essential challenge to be trump campaign of immigration, people like stephen miller whose appointment has not been formally announced yet but widely thought to be deputy white house chief of staff and somebody who of chorus has been seen as the architect of the controversial policy during the first trump administration which separated thousands of migrants from their parents and the man that has been named as the man that has been named as the so—called borders are tom homan, it will represent an extremely conservative hard—won group of people devoted to that key trum

meanwhile, a long—time hard line on immigration policy the south dakota governor kristi noem has beene of homeland security secretary. she is a long—time hardliner on immigration policy and one of donald trump two key priorities is to improve the situation along the us southern border with mexico and to deport millions of people who came here illegally. kristi noem commanding budget of billions of dollars and a staff of more than a quarter of a million public keen to those aims. donald trump has been holed up at his mara largo estate in florida and is expected to leave their later today to meet president biden at the white housein president biden at the white house in the run—up to his inauguration as a president in january. thanks to david willis. we will have special coverage throughout the day as to when those meetings happen we have a live page with more detail and a little bit of background and some context to who some of these appointments that we already now are. all of that we already now are. all of that and much more on the bbc news website. world leaders are in baku for the

kristi noem, the govenor of south dakota, is set to become mr trump's homeland security secretary withole on immigration policy. — she suffered a backlash when she revealed in a memoir how she had shot dead her pet dog because she said it couldn't be trained. noem said it showed she is able to make �*tough choices.�* she'll work with tom homan who is to be mr trump's so called border tsar— in charge of deporting illigal immigrants — in line with one of the next president's key campaign promises. susie wiles, mr trump's campaign manager and long time ally, has already been announced as his new chief of staff when he re—enters the white house. and his former speechwriter — stephen miller — will be deputy chief of staff — he's another hardliner on immigration who was a driving force behind the 2018 border policy that separated thousands of children from their parents at the us mexico border. hadriana lowenkron, national political reporter, and henry bonsu, broadcaster and journalist at bloomberg. what do you make of the appointments we've had so far from donald trump and the ones, the pot

trump famously calling him little marco and the president elect will nominate south dakota governor kristi noem to serve as the next homeland security secretary, staunch ally, who was also once seen as a possible running mate. as congress returned to unfinished business and the new trump, there are a lot of the talk again was about who's being chosen. we're seeing that quickly the role of homeland security is going to be crucial to trump's plans to cracking down on illegal immigration. and meantime was announced. this was just about an hour ago that trump has chosen fox news host and veteran p tax seth as defense secretary grant and vicki. >> all right, catherine, thanks for the updates. meanwhile, a judge has postponed the decision on whether president elect trump's conviction in his hush money case can withstand the supreme court's ruling on presidential immunity. according to court filings, trump's lawyers asked for the delay over the weekend arguing there are strong reasons for the requested. stay and eventually dismissal of the case in the interests of justice and quote. jury convicte

one of those, striker sam kerr, recently announced with her partner, the usa forward kristie mewis, thaty the online abuse that followed. sam is one of the most genuine people i've ever met and someone who i know will be a wonderful mum and, yeah, i mean, it's, like it's not shocking to hear the abuse they suffered. i just think for those of us in the women's games, we've just come to expect that. it doesn't make it right, um, and it's unacceptable, but one where i know sam will manage that and put all her energy into making sure her and kristie sort of hopefully goes through the pregnancy with no bother. emma is back in her beloved london as her team prepared to face the lionesses at wembley this weekend. top two teams in the world. arguably the top two coaches in the world. the fact it's at wembley as well. a little bit of pride on the line? do you know what? i don't know if it's pride, like, wembley feels like home to me. i always say that notjust because i'm from north london, but i've been there a few times with chelsea and enjoyed being there, so it's going to be familiar to me. it

i was a bit surprised about kristi noem. kaitlyn reported some disagreement there. i would have preferred with someone with intelligence background leading dhs. we'll see how she'll do in terms of being confirmed be i the senate. but everyone else, the president-elect is moving in the right direction but i'm really honing in on this government efficiency. we have to improve the way our federal government works. a lot of presidents have tried. can they move the needle a little bit? that could be ben efficient. >> we're going to take a quick break. we'll continue the conversation. also dig further on the reporting on the plan to set up a review board for u.s. generals and admirals. also, we visit a woman who attacked the capitol. talk to people, with the people who have been praying for their release to see if she expects to get released. we'll be right back. jen b asks, "how can i get fast download speeds while out and about?” jen, we've engineered xfinity mobile with wifi speeds up to a gig, so you can download and do much more all at once. it's an idea that's quite

i think it's worth noting that kristy noem has killed more migrant. she is in charge of this angle is alarming but i think trump's other cabinet selections, even if i think a marco rubio is spineless, i think is more than qualified to be secretary of state. whereas, i don't know if people can say the same about kristy noem. >> john, let me show you reporting from myer colleague at nbc news. she writes this, quote. this is corey lewandowski that he described on the first trump term. >> i read today about a 10-year-old gill with down syndrome who was taken from her mother and put in a cage. >> wa, wa. >> did you say wa, wa to a 10-year-old? >> i say you can pick anything you want. >> how dare you! >> heading to the top of dhs. >> so many things to say. >> we got two hours, baby. >> i mean, you know, i think for a lot of people -- i know for those of us who love our dogs, that was it for -- you know, it's interesting, donald trump, the former president and future president has no use for dogs. no surprise and maybe not a coincidence he doesn't find that

kristi noem says she is humbled by the opportunity.apping elon musk, owner of twitter and tesla, i should say x, and vivek ramaswamy, former presidential candidate to lead an agency taskeded with reshaping federal gftz itself and to shrink size of federal government. there are questions about how this would work. trump making it clear, heun was two high-profile conservatives to play a key role in the second trump term. back to you guys. >> steve: this department they would head up, department of government efficiency, doge, does not the exist right now. >> mark: this is interesting, people were saying this is idea of deficit reduction committee, here are ideas where gftz can be reigned in. i'm speculating, not saying this is going to happen. department of energy, where do you see cutbacks possible and they submit a report and perhaps elon and vivek would present to trump. happenings i imagine a number of lawmakers would exercise congre congressional authority before serious changes. >> ainsley: remember government waste and t-shirts fo

nominate florida senator marco rubio for secretary of state, and he's picked south dakota governor kristi noem to head up the department of homeland security. trump selecting rubio to be the country's top diplomat is a long way from their heated rivalry. during the 2016 presidential primaries. >>>>little marco rubio, he's a total disaster. >>>>the two have mended their relationship, and rubio campaigned hard for trump this year. >>>>we want to live in an era of peace, and we want to live in an era of strength. we want an america that dreams big again. and for that, we need to elect donald trump. >>>>kristi noem at the helm of dhs means she'll be working on immigration, but the person reporting directly to the president on his signature issue will be former ice head tom homan, already named border czar. noem could face a contentious senate confirmation after writing in her memoir she killed her untrainable 14 month old dog. >>>>the reason that the story is in the book, because people need to understand who i am, and some of those difficult decisions this was a dangerous animal. that was ki

trump also bie beefing up his domestic national security, kristi noem will lead the department of homeland security. we're waiting for a defense secretary of, that is important position, treasury secretary, that is big. also though john paulson, huge hedge fund manager, has now removed himself from that race. larry. larry: all right, aishah hasnie thank you for that update we appreciate it. >> only nutty democrats would be dumb enough to oppose president trump's deportation plan and that is the subject of the riff. just before election, acting chief of joe biden's i.c.e., release a li letter to republican texas condition mancongressman said over 662 house migrants have been caught and released. over 15 thousand of them were murderers, convicted in their home countries. more, 16,000 had been convicted of sexual assault. that is not it. other crimes are 100 thousand assaults, 70 thousand drug violations, 90 thousand inch vagues of privacy, and 16,000 weapons offensives, hat tip to tip insights for those numbers, bigger hat tip-toe president-elect trump for appointing tom homan as his new bor

south dakota governor kristi noem, he's the governor there, former congresswoman. he was a trump loyalist from the get- go, also. she was on the short list for vp, as well. and she would oversee customs and border patrol, i.c.e. , fema, secret service. these are big, big roles out there. and she's an interesting pick for it. she has also been very hawkish about the border and immigration. take a look at that. >> but today, many of those who are entering our country under the current policies of the biden administration are known terrorists. they're criminals. they're human traffickers, and they're drug cartel members. the united states of america is in a time of invasion. the invasion is coming over our southern border. the 50 states have a common enemy. and that enemy is the mexican drug cartels. >> so in that sense, sounding the most like donald trump out of all of them. >> so, zooming out, what are these three picks tell you about the second trump administration? what does it portend for the future? >> it's interesting, for those who are looking for any kind of,

kristi, good to see you. thank you for being here for the good of the country. make of that? >> it is just, it is so absurd right? the idea that this whole letter is four pages and it is a history lesson. they are citing. abraham lincoln and the thanksgiving proclamation and george washington all about this call for unity when all donald trump has called for is call for retribution against people investigating him. against the prosecutors who prosecuted the case. he called the democrats the enemy from within and this very lawyer who drafted this letter is the one who got up before the supreme court and said donald trump has the power to order seal team 6 to assassinate his political rivals. like this is not about. it is laughable. it is not a serious legal argument. it is more political rhetoric as judge chutkin has said of trump's lawyers undefitting of defense counsel . >> what makes this case different? >> one way in which this case is different is this is a civil fraud case. this is not a criminal case. this is not federal doj where they dismissed their case

we also have kristi noem. can we watch her dance?id his weird sort of swaying for 45 minutes and she danced with him and that was her audition. >> white church dancing. >> it's called white church -- >> the white church dancing. [ laughter ] >> what is happening? is he casting for a tv show or presidency? >> well, if you do, compare this to 16th, right? when there were people that came from outside of maga world however it was in his infancy and they were going to normalize republicans and normalize trump. he's bringing in pete hegseth from fox news to be secretary of defense and he has 20 years as a national guardsman. good for him. he also represented the koch brothers to help privatize the d.a. he's bringing in these super conservatives and i think the loyalty test first, conservatism second. >> -- this is the scariest. elon musk and vivek ramaswamy and we'll get to hear his voice again before he's fired. they will lead the department of government efficiency. they're supposed to now be in charge of cutting the budget which is nor

i'm looking down the list, susie wiles, elise stefanik, kristi noem. the list sendless. be more. whatever happened to that? i haven't heard him or democrats apologize for having said that stupid thing, but here he is, tram, right out of the gate. susie wiles, elise stefanik, perhaps kristi noem at dhs, et cetera and et cetera and that's a pretty impressive list, wouldn't you? >> i and the first chief of staff being a woman susie says and that's impressive and i want people to note, donald trump is having no need to have a number of women and different minorities and this number of religious myotorrs and he's interested in competence and eloquence in people that are loyal. you and i both know you were part of it and i was watching in the outside and interviewed all you people and he cares a great deal about getting stuff done. he doesn't want thumb tight herreras but getting stuff -- twiddlers and he's coming back for more. i'm very, very relieved this national security team is taking over for no matter what their hearts were, it was appeasement and it's failed and i noti

kristi noem did accept afghanistan refugees. a little criticism from the maga side. but has indicated there will not be much daylight between her and donald trump when it comes to the border issues so while it is kind of. it remains to be seen, this is one where they will do what they said they were going to do on the campaign and the personnel is aligned with it mark peoleta was on fox new this morning and here is what he has to say about about possible changes in the department of justice. >> only in the federal government with a deep swamp do career employees think they get to run the joint, as it were. president trump was reelected with an overwhelming majority of an agenda by the american people popularly supported so deporting millions of illegal alien out of this country. securing the border, banning dei. all that destructive stuff that the biden administration let run wild. getting boys out of girls' sports. those are the things the department of justice are going to work on and the department of justice employees, career employees, are going to support and i

i did not see kristi noem coming. homeland security, wow, that's a big job.ervice, and border patrol, that is a lot of responsibility. we will have to wait and see if she can execute at that high a level. >> jessica: the dog? >> jesse: not the dog, or duties. >> jessica: parallel experience. >> jesse: slotkin i don't know much about -- >> jessica: elise stefanik. >> jesse: i get those confused. >> greg: because they're women? >> jesse: zelda and i don't know if they have been out-of-doors. i like lee zeldin. a lot of red tape to be cut. this is what i than issue with. keep saying these people are trump loyalists. what does that mean? it is like pejorative. they didn't say that about eric holder, he was an obama loyalist, didn't save blinken was a biden loyalist. they aren't going to hatch a special counsel on him within the first month of the administration. >> greg: excellent point. i'm lying. dana. >> dana: yeah. >> greg: it seems like the pirate ship analogy is turning into something like a dream team analogy, see what i'm saying? they are not crazy. they

joining me now is kristi greenberg, former federal prosecutor, good to see you, thank you for being here, what do you make of that? >> it's just so absurd, the idea , this whole letter, it is four pages and it is a history lesson, they are inciting abraham lincoln and the thanksgiving proclamation and george washington, all about this call for unity when all donald trump is called for is cause for retribution, against the prosecutors, he has called the democrats the enemy from within and this very lawyer who drafted this letter is the one who got up before the supreme court and said donald trump has the power to order seal team six to assassinate his political rivals, this is not about a call for unity, it is laughable , this is not a serious legal argument, nothing is a serious legal argument, it is more political rhetoric that is really on befitting of experienced defense counsel. >> and it is coming on the heels of these other cases being dropped. what makes this different?>> well, this is a civil fraud case, this is not a criminal case and this is not a federal doj where they dismiss
