lisa argen. lisa. >> all right, kristen, we finally have see a return to the rainy pattern. and it's going to be with us not only for the weekend but into next week, where we see several days of compounding rain that could bring us some issues with the rivers and creeks and some localized flooding. first off, starting out with a pretty warm system, so we're going to see temperatures climb throughout the weekend and high snow levels before the colder part. the second part, or stronger atmospheric river moves in monday night into tuesday. right now, light to moderate rain here up through the delta. otherwise, we've had periods of light rain in the north bay. you can see inverness down along the peninsula and more shower activity from davenport to gilroy and san jose. picking up a little bit of rain. we've seen anywhere from about a third to 4/10 of an inch up in the north bay. the east bay spent a couple of hundredths and you can see the wet roadways there. the golden gate bridge, 51 degrees, san francisco. it is 52, in hayward and half moon bay. and a look out towards sfo, where there's also some clouds and a lot of wind coming in through tomorrow. 49 in napa right now. and a final look outside there you see the gray skies. so the rest of today rain getting steadier for the evening commute. a level two on tap for your saturday. a stronger atmospheric river arrives. and then sunday into next week it's going to get much colder as we see lower snow levels and more rounds of rain. so winds right now up to about 15 miles an hour along the coast. upper elevations 3040 miles an hour. and as this low gets closer, we're going to see stronger winds, heavier rain. so 3:00 today, notice the evening commute is wet. we see a bit of a break into the later evening hours. so overnight some scattered showers. and then look what happens early into saturday saturday morning into the afternoon. we've got gusty winds, heavy downpours a level two system. so good idea to stay inside. and then by late in the day this begins to lift to the north a bit. and that's going to be the trend again on sunday with scattered showers. so adding up the rainfall totals for the rest of the day today. on friday, you can see 2/10 to about a third of an inch for most of the bay. this is friday. then midday saturday, bringing in about three quarters of an inch of rain. you can see lesser amounts to the south. and that final push as we get into late saturday and sunday, bringing us over an inch in san francisco. inch and a half in the north bay. perhaps a half inch. mountain view. so this is just that weak atmospheric river. we've got a stronger one on the way. high snow levels right now with a winter weather advisory with 12 to 18in of snow above 7000ft. so this is for saturday, about a foot of snow, a little bit more than that, maybe two feet in some localized snow resorts. but look what happens as we add this into the rest of the workweek. we're looking at a lot of snow. atmospheric river gets stronger into tomorrow, so keep that in mind. and maybe a rainy day. good day to stay inside. it is going to be a rainy day, but the plans perhaps, hopefully not sending you out on the roadways. and this is a trajectory for the next ten days. talking six inches in the north bay, over two inches in livermore and san jose. the accuweather seven day forecast. rainy and windy for tomorrow. a bit of a break on sunday with scattered showers. next round comes in late monday into tuesday. much colder. a brief break on wednesday. more rain on thursday and it looks like friday. we'll see a break. kristen. >> lisa, thank you so much. now to our other top story. federal investigators from the national transportation safety board just held an update on that deadly midair collision near dc. and here is what we've learned. the black box from the military blackhawk helicopter has been recovered in good condition, and agents are confident they'll be able to recover all the data. they are still mapping out where debris landed in the potomac river, but they say large chunks should be easily recovered. and the reagan national air traffic controllers workers have been interviewed. abc news reporter christiane cordero has the other latest developments today. >> debris sticks out of the icy potomac river. several bodies and evidence are trapped below until recovery. crews work through the elements with heavy machinery to pull them out. divers returning to the wreckage in the water at first light this morning despite heavy rain. >> we're going to be careful. we're going to make sure we don't hurt anybody el

lisa booth. lisa? what do you make of all of that and also this. let's get to this quickly. president biden finally admitted to usa today that yes, he himself is not sure he would have lasted four more years in the white house saying, "who the hell knows what i'll be like when i'm 86 years old." what do you make of all of this? >> well then why did he run in 2024 in the first place? i mean, i think one of the biggest lies that have been told about joe biden is that somehow, he's a good man. this is someone whose a prolific liar, someone whose very corrupt and even when he launched his candidacy in 2020 it was based on the charlottesville lie. these lies that were told about what donald trump said about that event. he said it was a battle for the nation. a battle for the soul of the nation and since then over the past four years, he's corrupted that soul. he's weaponized the government against political opponents. donald trump as well as these pro-life catholics. he has forced our military heros out of their positions over an experimental vaccine. he has encouraged the mutilation of children's bodies in the name of transgenderrism and encouraged abortions. he gave this blanket and corrupt pardon to his son hunter dating back to 2014 when he joined the burisma holdings. and he also lied to us about it. he told us he wasn't going to pardon him when of course he was going to and then lied about his knowledge of his son's business dealings, so i think he's going to go down as a failed president for a litany of policy failures, but also, as a liar and corrupt. liz: yeah, i mean, by the way just you're looking at a split screen shot of top gop senate leadership now arriving to meet with president trump on capitol hill about his agenda. so, it's a multiple scandals. it's a cover-up of his decline. it's the corruption scandal of his family profiting off of his government job. it's lawfare attacks against trump. you know, that gallup poll. voters ranked biden as the worst president since nixon. what happened? i mean, biden, pelosi, and chuck schumer kept trying to hammer away that biden was the second fdr. a majority, 54% now biden say biden is below average even poor. you know, let's take a listen. you know whose weighing in on this , lisa? take a moment and listen to former top aid to barack obama slamming biden as "stubborn." watch. >> did you feel like an op-ed about january 6 is just the perfect part of how feckless everything feels in this moment? >> yes. >> yes. but if you're too much in the past, this is from the original philosopher, stubborn like an old man, you also become doomed to repeat yourself because you're not adaptable and you don't learn from what's happening in the actual present and so like -- liz: pretty scary critics are saying if trump lost and kamala won we may not have them talking about them. people now increasingly say biden was out of it. he also told usa today he's considering preemptive pardons for public figures like liz cheney, and dr. fauci. that's unconstitutionally and he can't violate the constitution like that. he just sent another half a billion dollars over to ukraine as people are reeling in the l.a. wildfires so whose running the nation? >> well, you know, it's all a mess and do

does this impact housing? it's the end of the month. rents are about to be due. there were so many questions. but was the vagueness of this memo the point? look, i will tell you that. >> the vagueness of the memo. yesterday is no more clear to me today, and it sent all sorts of people yesterday into a scramble, whether they were members of the house and senate appropriations. committees who have the power of the purse. whether it's people who are involved in the provision of social. >> services, whether. >> it's journalists. like you and me. and in that scramble. >> yesterday, we were also. >> distracted from. >> other things. >> that the administration was doing. for example, the administration has now fired commissioners from the national labor relations board and the eeoc, the equal opportunity employment commission. those are organizations that are designed also to ensure the protection of important american rights. but nobody was paying attention to those firings, which could presage things to come. and other institutions like the federal elections commission, the federal trade. >> commission. >> these multi-member bodies that have both republicans and democrats built into their structure with longer terms than any one president is in office. those seem to be people who are within the crosshairs of this president in terms of firing them. but instead we were all trying to figure out which programs were and were not included in this. you'll remember yesterday during caroline leavitt, she's the white house press secretary's first briefing. nbc news is peter alexander engaged in a long back and forth with her about. >> whether a particular. >> program like heat, which provides home heating. >> assistance to. >> low income individuals, was included. and she couldn't answer that question. and today, i'm not sure where any clearer on that. >> so i think, yes. >> the ambiguity in. >> part was the point. but there are also. who will also some who will say this. >> is an administration that doesn't care all that much. >> about policy details, and. >> it's possible that they themselves didn't understand fully. >> which. >> programs were and weren't included until they had to walk some of it back yesterday. >> i could see that being true. i saw a list of thousands of programs. it was 800 pages long. i mean, there's a lot that could be included here and that agencies will have to justify very quickly. and this is a convoluted question, but the impoundment act, i think people are going to hear a lot about that. it's central here. what is it and why is it important? oh. >> the empowerment act is difficult to. >> explain in a. >> very short. >> period of. >> time. >> but essentially it says that congress constitutionally has the authority to take money. from the treasury and appropriate it across a variety of different federal priorities. and when the president decides that he's going to move money around or freeze aid, there are certain notifications that have to be given to congress and justifications that have to be given to congress. and none of those things were done here. the president's allies say this wasn't an impoundment. it was merely a pause. congressional appropriators response to that is, are you kidding me? >> yeah. >> that's the whole definition. >> of impoundment. and by the way, that's the reason we impeach this guy for the. >> first time in 2019. >> because he was playing games. with money that. >> we had already appropriated. >> to ukraine. >> yeah, that's a really actually fascinating point. and a bridge between these two administrations. definitely something we're going to watch, especially if the pause becomes something that they then decide, at least on some of these programs, to continue. lisabreaking it down for us. thank you for having me. and still ahead this morning, we'll take an early look at what's driving the day on wall street as investors await the federal reserve's decision on interest rates. plus, we'll tell you why. u.s. consumer confidence dipped for the second consecutive month. all that went way to early comes right back. >> my entire. >> life has been spent preparing for the end times. my father, founder of the now infamous oath keepers, stewart rhodes, the third who was going to save america from the end of the world. >> the big lie. >> is that there was some concerted plan near the capitol, and it just wasn't. >> stewart was becoming increasingly unstable. >> people are. >> gravitating to him like a son. i bet everything on him being locked away forever. >> attention. have you been. >> diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma after using. >> the weedkiller roundup? nearly $11. >> billion has already been paid to. settle thousands of victims claims. >> and yo

lisa rubin. lisa, i mean, the law is on their side here, right? and it was clear that giuliani was like delaying as long as possible. i just wonder, i'll read the statement from ruby freeman and shaye moss. we have agreed to allow mr. giuliani to retain his property in exchange for compensation and his promise not to ever defame us. do you have a sense do you have a theory about what they might have gotten out of this deal? rudy's keeping all of his properties and his precious world series rings. i think the most important thing, most important word in that statement is compensation. the question is where is it coming from? because this is the same rudy giuliani who post-verdict famously filed for bankruptcy, only to play so many games with the bankruptcy court that he was effectively tossed out of that court. and that's when the women began this new york lawsuit that led to the settlement today. it was because they were trying to enforce that 145 plus million dollar verdict that you talked about earlier. now there's some risk to them. giuliani was appealing that verdict, and it's still on appeal. the new york judge said, no, even though you're appealing it, you still have to turn over your property to them. so it's likely that the women agreed to accept a whole lot less than $145.9 million. but in exchange for the certainty that giuliani would stop appealing the verdict and that they could get on with their lives. okay, so this was make it all like, let's end this prolonged nightmare. give us the money and don't defame us again, but don't defame us again. part seems like, i don't know, risky element for someone like giuliani, who has not exhibited what we would call self-control here. it's definitely a risk element, and it's also something he's already agreed to. this case was originally tried in federal court in washington, d.c, where giuliani already agreed to an injunction against further defaming them. you might have read recently, our viewers might have heard about contempt proceedings against giuliani. one of those contempt proceedings was about the fact that in november, on his radio show, he again defamed them. the two women on two successive nights in november. and that's why they went to seek civil contempt against him. so they already had that agreement. he already violated it. obviously, if they have an agreement through this settlement that he's not going to do it, there probably is something baked into the settlement to give them further compensation or further relief if he violates it. so if he defames him, then he probably has to pay up. but this then gets back to that central question of where did he get the funds? that's a really good question because donald trump earlier in the week tweeted in all caps a single sentence save rudy. there it is. yeah. and apropos of nothing else, right. i mean, this hasn't been like he's this has been in the news, right? and i think many people interpreted this as trump's basically saying, what's happening to rudy giuliani in his view, is unfair. of course, if donald trump had ever paid rudy giuliani for the legal services he rendered in the first place, we might not be in this position. the reason that that verdict came against giuliani was in part because he didn't even get to contest liability in that case. why? because a judge found that he was so obstreperous in his pre-litigation pretrial conduct that it was fair to just decide that he was liable because you couldn't get any discovery from him. he wouldn't come to court. he wouldn't answer questions. the trial that was had was solely on the question of, okay, let's assume that he did it. how much money does he owe them for it? he wasn't even able to contest liability because trump was so stingy. this is one of those circumstances where and trump learns this lesson again and again. he learned it with michael cohen, too. if you just paid the people who did the work for you in the first place, it's a lot easier. you might have spared yourself a lot of pain. well, but it does raise a question if it's, you know, because he's the incoming president. sure. just from an ethics standpoint, it opens up a whole can of worms about like who is trying to do trump a favor by saying saving rudy? right. setting even rudy and his utility for an outside actor. there's you know, this is something the president, the incoming president wants. i could curry favor with the incoming president by bailing out his former lawyer. we're unlikely to ever know where the money came from, though we are probably unlikely to know. but as you and stef and tim were talking about earlier in your show, there is no shortage of american oligarchs who are trying to curry favor with donald trump, even as we speak. and many of them might be interested in helping to pay for a settlement with ruby, freeman and moss to make this long standing problem just go away. yeah. when the collective net worth of three people on the inauguration day is close to $1 trillion, $148 million, or $145 million for defamation payments, seems like. but a drop in the bucket. lisak you for helping me unpack yet another mystery from the house of giuliani. i appreciate your time, my friend. >> thanks for having me. >> coming up, a special report on what one city on the front lines is doing ahead of trump's return to the white house. stay return to the white house. stay with us. my mental health was better. but uncontrollable movements called td,tardive dyskinesia, started disrupting my day. td felt embarrassing. i felt like disconnecting. i asked my doctor about treating my td, and learned about ingrezza. ♪ ingrezza ♪ ingrezza is clinically proven to treat td, quickly reducing td by greater than five times at two weeks. number-one prescribed ingrezza has dosing that's always one pill, once daily. and you can keep taking most mental health meds. ingrezza can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with huntington's disease. call your doctor if you become depressed, have sudden behavior or mood changes, or suicidal thoughts. don't take ingrezza

lisa rubin. lisa, i'm so glad you're here this morning because there's so many legal ramifications that i want to get to with you. but first, your reaction to the pardon of these january 6th defendants, it was everybody, not just the nonviolent offenders that jd vance and others were trying to use to soften this promise. >> and ali, jd vance wasn't the only person who communicated that. >> that was a message that we heard from multiple people associated with trump world. >> and for weeks, what i was shocked by last night, as you just said, is the breadth of it. >> when trump said that he was going to pardon roughly 1500 people, that still left nearly 100 people. >> if you talk about the full totality of people who have been charged with january 6th crimes. >> at last count, there are 1583 of them. >> i thought maybe they have a different understanding of what constitutes a violent offense than i do. >> and then i looked at the real language of the executive order, and was stunned to find that while there weren't just six commutations, as trump had said from the oval, there were 14. it was a full pardon for anyone committed of any january 6th offense. >> and with respect to anyone who hasn't yet been convicted or tried, there is a directive to the department of justice to immediately dismiss those cases and release those people from detention. >> and then i wonder if we could keep looking at this through the specific january 6th lens, because you turn then to the outgoing president's pardons and those that he issued to members of the select committee, including liz cheney and the chairman, bennie thompson, also staff. but you saw something that links not just the actions that trump took on his pardons, but the preemptive pardons. and then what trump has been saying about what the january 6th committee did or actually didn't do, which is destroy the records of their investigation. can you tie all of this together? because nothing happens in a vacuum. >> yeah. you know, trump had a lot of opportunities to talk yesterday, not just in his inaugural address. >> he obviously talked afterwards in a room off of the capitol rotunda. and then in the footage that you're showing right now in the oval office, it was sort of this discursive back and forth between signing the papers that his white house staff secretary, will schaap, was presenting him with and engaging with members of the press, including our own peter alexander. that's when i realized that he was perseverating on something that he had said earlier in the day that the members of the january 6th committee had destroyed documents. not only is that demonstrably false, but what trump is trying to do here is sell a narrative that these people have committed a crime because it could be a crime to destroy or mutilate or conceal records that are used in a government function. in fact, many january 6th defendants were charged with obstruction of congress or obstruction of government functions. given that what trump is essentially saying is an acceptance of a pardon is an admission of guilt, well, then what does that say about the 1500 people to whom he gave a full pardon, or to whom he decided yesterday whose cases shouldn't go forward? what's good for the goose alley here is good for the gander. i reject wholesale, by the way, that the members of the january 6th committee and their staffs committed any crime. but if trump is the one accepting the narrative that to pardon someone means that they have done something criminal. in fact, that was the excuse he gave for why he didn't pardon himself, then he's going to have to accept that narrative. with respect to all of the january 6th defendants, too. >> yeah. and in terms of the groundwork that he's trying to lay, i remember when republicans were able to take back control of the house, and they asked the committee to preserve its documents so that they could continue working off of them. so certainly that's pretty easy to disprove. i want to pivot to one other thing that trump did yesterday. among a slew of things that he signed was the changes that he's trying to make to birthright citizenship in this in this country. that would be basically changing and amending a constitutional amendment through the office of the president. can you talk about a. can he do that? and b, the way that he's trying to change this rule? well, first of all, the question of can he do that? >> the answer should be no. and in fact, trump knows that because he was asked again in that same oval office signing ceremony as the press was looking on, somebody must have said something to him. to which he responded, well, that might be right, or you might have a good point. he was essentially acknowledging, yeah, this might not be legal, and yet we're going to go ahead and try it anyway. the argument that he is making is that some of those born in the united states are somehow not subject to the jurisdiction of this country, and that both being born here and being subject to the jurisdiction of the country are necessary predicates to birthright citizenship. i think he's wrong, but there will be a long and lengthy legal battle. the trump modus operandi seems to be act first, determine the legality later. and that, as you and i both know, friend is not a sound basis to start a presidency. >> and certainly that's already beginning. it's what's sure to be a lengthy court battle. i think two hours it took for folks to start filing suits about that. and then, of course, trump himself on a personal level, is no stranger to legal woes. but are those now all just over? poof! he's the president again? >> well, ali, you know that when jack smith and his team decided not to go forward with those two federal indictments, they dismissed one case with prejudice and withdrew i'm sorry, without prejudice and withdrew an appeal without prejudice. theoretically, that means that at some point those cases could be revived. but of course, the statutes of limitation may not survive until after the expiration of his presidency. and then, of course, he still could pardon himself at the very expiration of his presidency. so whether or not donald trump will ever be held accountable for the alleged crimes he committed during his first term and thereafter, that remains to be seen. but you can see an emboldened trump approaching trump 2.0, his second presidency, with a feeling that he is immune from criminal prosecution in a broad way. if he didn't have that feeling, i would surmise that he wouldn't have done some of the things that he and his administration did yesterday. >> lisatour de force. thank you for joining us. thank you. and still ahead this morning, we'll go live to cnbc for an early look at what's driving the day on wall street as investors react to donald trump's first day in office. plus, the president signs an executive order delaying the enforcement of that tiktok ban. we'll dig into what that could mean for the popular video sharing app when way too early comes right back. >> breaking news a fast moving disaster in california. >> breaking news former president jimmy carter has died at the age of 100. >> israel and hamas will enter a cease fire, potentially ending 15 months of fighting in gaza. multiple new developments about that terror attack on bourbon street. justin trudeau announcing he intends to step down. >> donald trump is now officially a convicted felon. >> reporting from the nation's >> reporting from the nation's capital, philadelphia, e ( ♪♪) you never want to lose your edge. and the lexus rx completely understands that.

lisa rubin. lisa, thanks for coming back for us. this is this case is kind of funny. it's judge kazmarek again. what's going on? >> so you'll remember, katie, as our viewers hopefully will that the supreme court heard this case and over the summer came down with the decision saying that the plaintiffs who originally brought the case sort of vitiate the approval of the abortion medication, didn't have standing to bring that case. many people at the time said, okay, the court has punted, but at some point in time, this issue will likely come back to it. and that's where we find ourselves now, a group of states led by missouri as well as kansas, i believe the third is indiana, are back before judge kazmarek saying, hey, if those guys don't have standing to bring this case, let us intervene, let us take over the case. and they don't want to challenge the original year 2000 approval of medication abortion. what they want to say instead is that some of the extensions that the fda gave, for example, you can now prescribe mifepristone versus, i'm sorry, telehealth, or you can do it at ten weeks versus seven and a half weeks. they say those extensions are what's unlawful here and that they deserve a right to challenge it. the drug manufacturer and the fda, for their part, said, hey, wait a second. what are you doing in a texas court? you have no business being here. judge kazmarek yesterday said we can get to that issue at another point in time. leave to amend or leave to bolster the complaint should be granted liberally. i'm going to give them a chance to come back, change the complaint, just focus it on these issues and add what the state's promise is greater factual support. before i make that determination, the supreme court feel about this? well, i think it will be harder. remember the fifth circuit, which was the second court to take this up, said judge kazmarek was wrong when he said that the year 2000 approval should be vitiated. but he was right in defined, vitiated. i'm sorry he was wrong to say that the fda's approval was unlawful, that the original approval of mifepristone was unlawful. the fifth circuit disagreed with. but they did agree with judge kazmarek that all of the extensions that we were just talking about, prescribing mifepristone via telehealth, extending when into a woman's pregnancy, it could be prescribed from seven and a half weeks to ten weeks. they agreed with him there. the fifth circuit is a court that is one of the most conservative in the nation in terms of appeals courts. however, more often than any other circuit in recent memory, at least in the last couple of years, they have been overturned, including, for example, in the mifepristone case where the court said, hey, wait a second. before we even reach the merits, we have to look at whether these plaintiffs actually had an injury that can be redressed through litigation. and they determined these guys, these doctors over here, they don't. so the states are going to take a second whack at it and try and see if they can't curtail mifepristone entirely, at least, can they really roll back its availability, including through prescription over telehealth? >> all right, lisa our top story today. tiktok. as we said before, an overwhelming number of lawmakers voted to ban it. and they did so because they're worried about national security issues. joining us now is a member of the senate intelligence committee to explain that vote, democratic senator from new york, kristen kristen gillibrand. thank you, senator, for being here. explain from your perspective, having seen intelligence on this why this is a national security issue, the subject of tiktok, and i'm curious about why you believe it is because yesterday i had jim himes on. i know he's in the minority, but you know, he's a member of the gang of eight. and he said that this wasn't an intelligence concern for him, that the data is getting mopped up by all sorts of apps. >> well, my concern is this first, tiktok is an app that lots of people use, and they enjoy it and they love it. >> a lot of people get their news from it. >> a lot of people use it daily and it's fun. >> my young teenagers, kids, they

lisa's lips moving. lisa, you are back. >> no, i was just saying donald trump is going to try to pose an appeal on the federal system on the grounds that he has a federal defense here based on presidential immunity. he tried to do that over the summer. it was a second attempt at doing so. but he still has an appeal pending at the second circuit, that is the federal court of appeals between district courts and the united states supreme court. expect him to try to use the federal courts, not the new york state courts, as a lever to postpone the sentencing any day that gets him beyond january 20th is a victory, because at that point he becomes procedurally immune from any prosecution as a sitting president. >> i appreciate, i am much clearer on this than i was before we started this conversation, so i appreciate both of you being here to help us through it. lisa, kristy greenberg, former federal prosecutor in the united states attorney's office for the southern district of new york. thank you both for your time tonight. >>> still ahead, thousands of protesters holding stop the steel signs in front of the presidential residence in south korea. why were south korean protesters referencing donald trump? i will explain next. what if there was a cruise that felt like no other? a cruise created by foodies— for foodies. one chef for every 10 guests, every meal prepared to order, and every plate a personal discovery. ♪♪ welcome to the world of oceania cruises, the world's greatest cities, and off the beaten path secrets. one memorable bite and toast at a time. it's more than a feeling. it's more than a cruise— it's oceania cruises. narrator: at this very moment, children at st. jude are fighting to survive. with a gift right now, you can join the battle to save lives. katy: without saint jude, i don't know where we would be. can we see snuggles? they

lisa rubin. and lisa, we listened to the first press conference by the new press secretary who said anything that goes directly to an individual she says will not be frozen. but what did we learn here? >> well, chris, that's certainly. >> not the account that attorney general tish james of new york and. >> several. >> other attorneys. general gave in the press conference from their perspective. a variety of federal programs are at risk, and i'll just name two. attorney general rob bonta of california, for example, was asked during the question and answer session whether fema relief to the residents of his state who have been affected by the los angeles area wildfires could be at risk. and he affirmed. >> yes. >> that in fact, could be at risk. one other program that definitely is at risk is the medicaid program. you have the attorney general from massachusetts, again, during the same press conference saying her state tried to draw down last evening on $40 million in medicaid funding and was unable to because of this omb freeze. these attorney generals will file suit at some point later today. where and when? we don't know. but as attorney general tish james said, their belief is that this is staunchly unconstitutional because the power of appropriations belongs to congress. you also heard her say later in the press conference that the actions that president trump took are arbitrary and capricious. that's lawyer speak for challenging regulations that aren't issued in the ordinary course. they don't give people enough time, for example, to comment or they're not adequately justified by a rationale that would be adequate here. so we're waiting to see what that lawsuit exactly says. in the meantime, chris, we know tish james and others will continue to fight against omb freeze on federal funding to their states and others. >> lisa joining us now is massachusetts democratic senator ed markey, a member of the health committee. he joins me now. let's start there. as you know, i don't have to tell you, senator, medicare medicaid alone covers 72 million people, people of limited means, low income individuals, both adults and children. letitia james said unequivocally, our medicaid reimbursement system is locked. what can you tell us about what's going on in massachusetts and your reaction to it? >> well. >> across the nation. 80% of. >> all people. >> in nursing homes are on medicaid. >> we have a name for those people. >> they're called grandma. >> and grandpa, and 50% of. >> them have alzheimer's. >> when there is. >> an attack. >> on medicaid. >> it goes. >> to our most vulnerable. >> seniors in nursing homes. >> with alzheimer's. >> it also goes. >> to the most vulnerable children. >> in massachusetts. but across the entire country. and when the portals to medicaid aid is frozen, well, that's casting a pall, a s

lisa: the fed and donald trump? annmarie: lisa and neil. lisa: it sharpens the tools. at is noise and what is signal. to your point, a lot has been noise and people focus on that. the signal, where does it come from? the housing market, lowest number of sales since 1984 -- 1994. but there is a larger question, there are some policies that will have economic ramifications. had do we focus on those rather than the others? jonathan: let's focus on that now with michael mckee. a big week for the federal reserve. mike: i wonder how much impact it will have on the markets. there is so much going on down in washington it is hard to know whether the fed will make a huge difference to the markets since at this point nobody is expecting them to do anything. it will come down to what jay powell has to say. we also have jobless claims, pce data on thursday and friday, gdp on thursday, which will be important because it shows some strength in the economy. we have to look at where that strength is, what it portends for the future. certainly not looking for any strength in residential

. >> lisa, i mean, lisa, that's a pretty badass truck, if you ask me. the truck didn't burn you barely. i mean, the fact that they picked the worst possible vehicle to use on this, if it was an attack, i mean, the explosives in the back burned, but they were put there. look at that. the side of the tesla protected the building. you don't even see the glass. didn't even break on the trump hotel because it absorbed the explosion within. but it's the it's the it's the quickness and the repetitive nature of the media to try to put a suppression and a spin on this that negates the idea that maybe it was a terrorist attack. >> yeah. well, for a second i thought joe was going full f bomb. so i got to cut a little bit, worried there for a second when he said front door. and we've seen elon musk and tesla. we've seen elon musk and tesla work hand in hand with law enforcement and trying to get to the bottom of what exactly happened. but, you know, honestly, the media is being consistent here, right? because in mass shootings, they blame the gun instead of the psy

lisa: democrats decried him as a lowering standards for the top defense job. >> i hardly think you are prepared to choose -- to do the job. lisa: hegseth focused on his leadership skills and vision. >> i want smarter and more capable people around me dad me and you will get that at that apartment. lisa: democratic senators raised concerns of past affairs and reports of hegseth being falling down drunk at work events. >> a small handful of anonymous sources were allowed to drive a smear campaign. lisa: democrats pointed out it was not all anonymous. they said some eyewitnesses to drinking have given their names. >> do you acknowledge you cheated on your wife and cheated on the woman by whom you had just fathered a child? lisa: adultery is illegal under the uniform code of military justice and hegseth did not comment when asked to deny or explain many accusations but rejected allegations he sexually assaulted a woman in 2017. hegseth reached a settlement in choosing a non-disclosure agreement with the woman. >> i was falsely accused in october of 2017. it was fully investigated. i was completely clear. >> i do not think completely cleared is accurate. lisa: of all the senators asking hegseth questions one is most pivotal to his fate. >> we have had very frank conversations. >> correct

amna: all right, our lisa desjardins, thank you so much. lisa: you're welcome., president-elect trump's nominee to lead the office of management and budget, russell vought, also faced difficult questions on the hill today. appearing before the senate homeland security and governmental affairs committee, he was pressed about the administration's plans to shrink spending and exert greater power over government agencies. geoff: mr. vought previously led the office for part of mr. trump's first term. he's also a co-author of project 2025. that's the controversial heritage foundation blueprint for a second trump administration. our white house correspondent, laura barron-lopez, joins us now for more on that hearing. so, laura, remind us of who russell vought is and what the omb does across the federal government. laura barron-lopez: the head of the office of management and budget, geoff, is not usually a household name, but it is an incredibly important position in the white house. and the head of the omb oversees spending and can review all regulations across agenci

lisa abramowicz. lisa: good morning for our audiences worldwide, this is "bloomberg surveillance." i am joined by dani burger. i am annmarie hordern. john and lisa are making their way back from davos. all of the policy uncertainty is emanating but donald trump touching basically every part of the global financial markets. futures this morning are a little softer but this comes after the s&p 500 yesterday hit a record high. the first time u.s. stocks had an all-time high for the year. the first time we had that record for 2025. this morning a little bit softer on equity futures. this comes as president trump seems to be taking a step back when it comes to tariffs. he seems to be negotiating the tone when it comes to tariffs and persuasion mode when it comes to interest rates. killing the federal reserve -- telling the federal reserve that he wants lower interest rates. dani: not just rates but also oil. telling opec that he wants them and he will ask them to lower prices. if we had said two weeks ago we would have this from trump and it would be the first week of his presidency, we would have expected extreme volatility. the bond market would ha

msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. lisa, thanks so much, as always.ere talking about it earlier this week that, you know, the immunity ruling has been oversimplified, it's like yeah, it's like 8090 page document which actually had had basically three different silos of, of privilege, you know, over here constitutionally pretty much absolute privilege. and then over here for, for acts that that artificial. >> right. right. >> no. no privilege. right. and in the middle is official acts a presumption, a presumption, but a presumption that the state can very easily overcome. so it's oversimplified. i think it's very telling that amy coney barrett in the immunity hearing. yeah. i mean, the immunity case. right. she she concurred, but distanced herself from clarence thomas and the court in some areas. and it was amy coney barrett yesterday who ruled five four on one. and i got to say the second thing that people should be looking at that think that every federal judge is going to lay down over the next four years to not do their job, is it wasn't any circui
