tulsi gabbard going to meet with mark warner today. what is your sense of the direction do you think of her nomination? i mean, as zach says, he basically needs republicans. but do you think mark warner's opinion coming out of this meeting could change things? >> well, i'd like to think it would. this is a nomination of great concern, widely inexperienced and a critical role. let's remember why we formed odni in the first place. >> it was post nine over 11. it was to coordinate the intelligence community, to force them to share information to avoid another 9/11. couple that with the fact that her meeting with assad isn't just an isolated incident. the fact that she came back from that secret meeting saying he's not an enemy of the united states, it concerns me that our allies wouldn't share critical information that keeps us safe, because they simply wouldn't trust her. >> it'll be interesting if we hear from mark warner coming out of that meeting for sure. um, also in the house, the focus now turns especially for republicans pushing f

i think i'd seen that tulsi gabbard was set to meet with mark warner, the democrat senator from virginiae of the massive snowstorm that we had here in dc, that got a bit delayed. but he had said, i have some very serious questions for her. i had some and i will have some. and my sense is that they will have pretty contentious hearings. i mean, that is to be expected. but i wonder if that that time for lobbying was successful enough. also with the fact that donald trump wants these picks to be confirmed, that that is enough to get them over the line. i mean, fundamentally, the republicans have 53 senators, so they have the majority. so in a way, the democrats canjump up and down and make as much noise as they want. but generally these things go. you vote for the party. it's the pick of the president. that's their prerogative. i think it's i think you have to go back to 1989 for there to have been a vote on the senate floor for someone to be rejected. so it's kind of a done feel in a way. and it's whether the republican senators decide not not to vote for their own president's pick. and i

today tulsi gabbard, national intelligence is set to meet with senator mark warner, top democrat on senate intelligence committee. incoming president is doubling down on his goal to buy greenland saying i'm hearing people of greenland is maga. greenland is incredible and people will benefit if and when it becomes part of our nation. make greenland great again. today donald trump is heading to greenland, he will not be meeting with political figures, it is personal. >> carley: brooke singman, thank you. speaking of expansion, president trump has his sight set up north. many people in canada love being 51st state. united states can no longer suffer what canada needs staying afloat. justin trudeau knew this and resigned. taxes would go down, there would be no tariff and they would be clear from russian and chinese sh ships surrounding them. what a great nation it would be. outside the box thinking. and president biden arriving in california overnight to ban drilling and mining on hundreds much thousands of acres in the state. >> todd: madeleine rivera has details. >> president biden is signin

meeting with tulsi gabbard and mark warner is on for later today, most democrats declining to meet withappointees so that is something and pam bondi getting backed by justice department alumni who serve republican and democratic presidents, a letter signed by hundred top lawyers and it reads in part it's all too rare for senior justice department officials much less attorneys general to have such a welcome experience in the day-to-day work of keeping our communities safe. the president-elect's personal lawyers working overtime already today filing motion to open jack smith from releasing his report about the mar-a-lago document case of the cases been dismissed so his reasons for wanting to release that are unknown today. while he's here later this week in dc for jimmy carter's funeral he will talk to senate republicans, one thing to talk about having a mandated using unified control of congress to pass big things but another to figure out how to do it. that's tomorrow night. stuart: gop pollster mitchell brown joins me now. i want to know what the postelection polls are telling us about

senator mark warner, the democrat from virginia, said his office just got a phone call from a domestic violence shelter, the only one that's serving multiple counties in his state of virginia. that said, they may have to close their doors if trump doesn't reverse course immediately. so that's the message that democrats are pushing out today, far and wide, that this is going to cause an enormous amount of chaos and confusion. and to peter alexander's question, our colleague asked, the really important question is medicaid covered? caroline leavitt didn't know the answer to that. this is a pretty important thing to know. i would say if you're freezing federal funding, because this is a health insurance program that covers about 72 million americans. it's in partnership between the federal government and the states. so it's not in the same category as medicare and social security, where the federal benefits go out directly. those two programs are exempt from this, but it's unclear whether medicaid is going to be frozen as well, which would have an enormous impact not only on low income pe

trump's choice for director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard, will meet tomorrow with senator mark warner, the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee. defense secretary nominee pete hegseth will face the senate armed services committee on january 14th. trump's busy week ahead includes his sentencing and his new york criminal trial. on friday, judge juan merchan indicates he's leaning toward no jail time, fines or probation, which has trump aide corey lewandowski saying, why is the sentencing happening at all? >> this is a farce of a of a whole trial. this is a farce of a sentencing. look, the bottom line is this case should have been dismissed a long time ago. >> but democratic california senator adam schiff says he thinks judge merchan sentencing is the right call, particularly concur with his decision to go forward with the sentencing. >> i think new york has demonstrated, frankly, how the justice system ought to operate. no one should be above the law. >> trump will still be able to appeal after the sentencing, which he can appear in person or virtually. he has not specified

it is underway, as a concurrent lease s -- as you can currently see, mark warner, democratic senator, questioning scott bessent. sen. warner: we talked about this in my office and i don't want to -- one of the things i was happy to hear, i feel very strongly that we cannot reward vladimir putin's aggressive, outrageous behavior in ukraine. and i think the ukrainians have performed remarkably. they have manpower issues, i've seen this from the intel side on a daily basis. one of the areas that i think we have not done as well, and candidly, the sanctions regime i don't think was as effective as it should have been, i think the biden administration waited too late to put these additional sanctions on oil and tankers. th abilitye for russia to ritual. i hope president trump can settle this, hallelujah. the world would be better off. but one of the things we discussed in my office with the potential to increase the sanctions regime as a way to leverage that would you care to talk for a moment about that again? mr. bessent: yes, senator warner. i believe that the sanctions regime, especial

gabbard is another question right now as as you saw mark warner allude to chairman of the intelligence committee, tom cotton, and his thoughts about gabbard and what what has been made clear that if gabbard doesn't buy john thune the majority leader, if gabbard doesn't get out of committee, he doesn't see her getting a vote on the floor for full confirmation. so this is now about not just republicans broadly, but the republicans sitting on the senate intelligence committee, if they are fully aligned to take someone they have questions about in this role and advance her because she is trump's nominee. >> and, john miller, just to bring you back in, you mentioned your experience in the intelligence community. you also were an assistant director of the fbi. you have years of experience in both of these areas where these individuals are being nominated. as david said very clearly, to disrupt them in various ways. each of them explicitly said that they believe that they are the right person or people for the job, because they believe that they were victims of. i'm going to use the word deep

. >> mark warner, a democrat on the committee, said, quote, i am open, meaning he is open to voting in support of scott bessent and there could potentially be bipartisan support as he is widely seen, jake, as on a glide path for confirmation. we don't expect any republican senators to oppose him. and of course, republican support is all that is necessary in order to get the job in the gop led senate. so he is one among many other trump picks who are on their way to getting their jobs. unless something unexpected happens, happens in the days ahead. jake. >> so marco rubio, the senator from florida, does appear on a glide path to confirmation to be secretary of state, which means the governor of florida would get to appoint his replacement as senator from florida. what can you tell us about that? >> yeah, he is governor ron desantis picked ashley moody, who is a the current attorney general in florida, as the replacement for marco rubio. that would set up a 2026 run. and if he decides to run in 2026, he could potentially he could potentially face a primary challenge. i caught up with one

senator mark warner of virginia was echoing a lot of sentiment. we heard from democrats kind of disappointed but not surprised. here's his scathing comments to the press earlier today. >> one more example. of a lack. >> of respect for the rule of law. and we saw it earlier when president trump pardoned all the january 6th rioters. now, to get rid of independent inspector generals. i mean, how is any of this going to lower grocery prices? donald trump promised he was going to bring down costs. instead, he seems to be trying to throw a monkey wrench into the kind of any independence left on our government's. >> and as you mentioned, alex, the white house has a legal obligation to give congress 30 day notice for the firing and removal of any inspector general. this passed in 2022 with the inspector general act that strengthened protections for these government watchdogs. and so some senators said that they might be able to figure out a recourse. but that's going to have to happen amid a busy, busy week ahead for them with these confirmation hearings

you even saw the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee, mark warner, come out today and say the same thing senator warner has. he was one of the proponents of this piece of legislation now coming out and saying, look, president biden should try to grant that 90 day extension. meanwhile, you've got senate republicans saying, look, the law is the law. we passed this for a reason. the deadline is coming up, and they did not divest. >> we have to implement this law. >> yet the president, the incoming president, of course, from their party is doing the exact opposite, which is something that a lot of them are privately frustrated about, but are not expressing those frustrations publicly. >> all right, mark, maybe this is the hardest question tonight. donald trump's rise to political power was based on populist messaging, right? that that has been his jam for the last ten years, telling regular people that he is on their side, as kamala harris had huge support from super wealthy people. right. remember when president biden had a $50,000 fundraiser across the street at radio city m

senator mark warner of virginia called move disturbing, especially so close to a presidential election. oregon senator ron wyden said, quote, his politicization of intelligence, including through selective releases to political allies, damages the country and undermines the intelligence community he purports to lead, end quote. this week, ratcliffe will once again enter the senate confirmation arena, this time tapped to lead the cia. according to reporting, ratcliffe is not expected to face major difficulties being confirmed. when trump announced his intentions to nominate ratcliffe in november. ken dilanian reported, quote, former intelligence officers who worked with ratcliffe said he is a relatively constructive figure compared with some other potential trump appointees who are more hostile to the spy agencies. but it is unclear whether ratcliffe would be ready to push back against proposals from trump's team that could politicize the country's most powerful intelligence agency, end quote. after a quick break, i'll discuss what ratcliffe, at the helm of the cia could mean for the in
