mike: right. do you see a 60 or 90-day delay perhaps to allow time for potentially an american buyer to come forward and finalize the deal? >> i mean, legally that can't be done without congress passing it. i mean, it's a law that tik tok has to sell or shut down. so, in order for what you just described to happen, the house and the senate would have to pass the bill and president trump would have to sign it and that would take time. it's certainly not going to be done by tomorrow. mike: considering the dangerous world we live in congressman, do you think there should be swift confirmation in the senate of the national security team for president-elect trump to get his team in place as quickly as possible. >> i think there should be a swift decision. i don't think it should be dragged out. personally, i have profound concerns about potential secretary hegseth moving in, based on his experience around defense issues, but look, i mean, it's going to be president trump's team one way or the other. by

he has endorsed mike johnson. a vote against johnson is also a vote against donald trump. >> talk to me about the politics. i understand what it is for the democrats. they salivate because they might get lucky. what are the policies for the republicans? don't they say to the american people, we want -- we heard you. >> they don't have anybody else. that is how mike johnson became the accidental speaker in the first place. talking to republicans on the phone earlier today, enough with the reindeer games. unlike last time, the republicans control all the seats at the table, the house, the senate, and the white house, the executive branch. get your business together and run the table because that is the only way with such a narrow majority you are going to get any republican business through. one of the problems is, matt gaetz resigned because he wanted to become the attorney general. michael walls will become the national security advisor and at least sonic will become the united nations ambassador. those are true v

they voted against mike johnson.y maybe have an opportunity to talk to the speaker and the president. not 100% sure, but they were happy enough to change their vote immediately. i am glad this only lasted two hours because the american people voted for change. they gave the republican party the house, the senate, and the white house. it is time to govern. it is time to do what you said you were going to do it. i'm glad it only lasted two hours and we can move on now on the important issues that we have as americans. christian: annika, as congressman berdych suggested, donald trump did weigh in, he did make a phone call. it's a difficult position to be in to be the holdout. the two votes that make all the difference. >> it is, but it was also intentional, as the congressman noted, you get the opportunity to get some attention from leadership. if you ultimately decide to vote the way they are asking, that becomes a credit in your direction and hopefully for the issues that you raise with the speaker and president. it i

everyone knows mike, likes mike, respects mike.an't vote for him, i don't know who you would vote for. host: does he get the votes on the first-round? guest: hope so. some people may reverse on the second. in the end, there is one possible alternative. we are not going to elect a democratic speaker. if you cannot vote for johnson, you will push us toward a coalition speaker. host: what do you mean? guest: you would have to have someone who could get democratic votes. republicans who cannot vote for johnson do not have a candidate. there is no one they are pushing. you are saying i want a republican, i won a coalition. that would be in a norma's mistake. -- that would be an enormous mistake. i would urge colleagues on the fence to recognize and vote accordingly. host: what's happening behind the scenes? guest: people are trying to leverage the speaker, attract concessions for themselves personally or some ideological point. the speaker has been consistent, saying i am not making backroom deals with anybody. this is different from tw

so congressman mike johnson is now officially speaker mike johnson. there were two no votes two votes for other house republicans ralph norman voted for tom emmer. and keith self voted for byron donalds. and keith self, who is about to start, i think his sophomore term. and norman have now officially changed their votes after this, after some negotiation, presumably. so i stand corrected. you were correct. speaker johnson did win on the first ballot. barely, barely, barely. >> but it barely matter. a win's a win. a w is a w, and this was this is tough. and what we saw is the last vote was was voiced around 1:40 p.m. here we are 50 minutes later with a lot of back back room negotiating to get the final deal done. >> yes. no. i mean, compared to what we saw with speaker mccarthy, this is a this is a landslide victory. 218 to 215 what's done is done. and speaker johnson is there, although i have to say and i'm sure he's he's rejoicing. this was a muscle flexing of a minority of the party of the republican party. nine members demonstrating to speaker john

there is mike johnson. we will go ahead and watch. host: we see ralph norman, keith self did not vote for mike johnson. talking to the clerk. i'm not sure who is standing behind him but mike johnson was down there. mike johnson was talking with akeem jeffries. let's see what happens. this is the case, according to matthew green. one can vote present, one can vote for mike johnson and it would be over. guest: that is the math i have. that is according to my math. host: we see johnson there. a little bit of politicking going on. the first vote has still not been called. guest: correct. that is right. perhaps they are trying to change their vote. host: ralph norman and keith self down in the well. unless they are still talking to the clerk. i do not see tom massie as part of this conversation. he said he is a hard no. keith self. 218 was needed. representative is joining us by phone. a republican. what just happened on the floor of the house of representatives? guest: you had two members, one voted for jim jordan. the other one voted for

today house lawmakers will decide if house speaker and mike johnson remains house speaker mike johnson lawrence: meanwhile republicans on capitol hill to make it tougher to oust the speaker and the new congress. >> emily: aishah hasnie lived on capitol hill with the latest, good morning. >> good morning to you guys. 11:00 a.m. is when 118th congress will adjourn and then about an hour later, 119th congress will come in and readjourn. that is when the fun begins. we will see if mike johnson can hang on to the gavel. as of this hour, the mass is not napping and the numbers are not there for the speaker. i republicans are entering into congress with a slim majority. we talk about all the time the numbers 219-215 and all democrats to vote for leader hakeem jeffries. they will not vote for mike johnson which means he can only afford to lose one republican. right now there is one republican official no vote, that is thomas massie. multiple undecided voters and people who don't want to say how they are voting until they vote actually takes place. joe johnson walked me through what is going on

i'll be voting for mike johnson. will be looking ahead in complete hopefulness and working as hard as possible. you see, we're going to elect a speaker and then swear in on members of congress and then on monday certify the most historic election in our nation's history when we certify donald john trump's election as 47th president of the united states. we are going to spend a few weeks getting to work, working hard on preparing for his agenda, and then on january 20th, we are going to inaugurate donald john trump as the 47th president of the united states. there's 18 long days until we get to that important day. >> crom congresswoman marjorie taylor greene on x, stop the drama. and you recall the congresswoman threatened mike johnson in 2024 #, the rules for the 118th congress allowed just one member to offer a privilege resolution on a motion to vacate and they want to change the rules in the 119th congress. it will take nine members to do so, but it can only be republicans. that is in the rules for the 119th congr

mike mentioned the abraham accords. we have put a lot of investment and entrant into a vision of an integrated middle east, building on the work of the first trump administration and in particular focused on a long-term normalization trapped between israel and saudi arabia. tied to steps forward towards the palestinian state. they think -- we think there is a formula there that can really lock and foundation for greater stability, prosperity and integration in the middle east. that we've done tremendous spade work on, and i would love to see you get done in the years ahead. and that would vindicate from my perspective the kind of vision that could have bipartisan support that will enhance the stability and security of our partners and really marginalize and weaken our adversaries in the region. i should mention, you know, because there is so much happening in such a short time on syria. assad going, a brutal dictator responsible for the massacre of so many of his citizens, that is a good thing. and it brings an opportun

and neither does mike johnson.ut, you know, our thing is -- my main points were what mike knew, has known all along. i don't think he understood the opposition that was before him. you know, you saw the ones that just did not vote. or were quiet when the vote came around. but i think now he understand yous the fact that votes where you rely on more democrat votes than republicans, that's what's killing the country. if we're going to do the same thing over and over again as we've done the past 14 month, we're going to be in the same position. i'm just not willing to go along with that. and i didn't. mike gave me the assurance that he was going to. >> what do you say, sir, to your colleagues who -- you know, i hear from republicans that the gop is good at getting its own way. what is your response to that? >> that who's getting their open way sfl. >> republicans getting their own way. >> no. republicans are free thinkers. i mean, what's an additional hour into the general assembly where we debated this? what's wrong

i mean look mike's right. i think trump's support i think the dynamic here is very different than it was in 2023 for the republicans who are leading, who are going to be, you know, drafting behind he's racing terminology, i mean, drafting behind donald trump. and he's been very clear that he wants to see johnson made speaker. so, you know, i think the dynamic is very different than it was in 2023. but the fact that it is such it's such a challenge for them to even get their ducks in a row on getting their their speaker appointed. it does not portend well when you're getting to more complicated and challenging legislation as they move forward in the session. so we'll see. >> what does it mean for democrats who are trying to i mean, they don't control any of the branches of government, but yeah, look, the two things that i feel certain of going into today is that mike johnson does not want to have 15 votes or more for speaker like kevin mccarthy did two years ago, and that all 215 house democrats want to be voti

mike: thank you. now apple sold 5% fewer iphones globally and lost ground to chinese rivals in the final quarter of last year according to research data. let's break it down with bloomberg's mark german. tell us what the back story and undercurrent to this all is. it seems that artificial intelligence seems to be a thread holding this all together. investors don't seem to be and consumers don't seem to be satisfied with what they are seeing in terms of apple's a.i. offerings to date. >> thank you so much for having me. so back in june apple announced apple intelligence. this is their new a.i. platform. the good news is that apple is here too with a.i. the bad news is their a.i. is not up to snuff in comparison to the competition. you have samsung, which has google gemini deeply integrated. microsoft products have open a.i. deeply integrated at the core of their stack. you see meta with integration in different applications. the industry knows that apple is behind. but here is the other side of the coi

(♪♪) caroline: china's deepseek ai model up ended. what about providers? clearly open-source is impacting ai development. he is the chief science officer at hugging face. is this the huge breakthrough the market thinks it is? >> it is a bit of an overreaction. we have seen a steady increase in open-source models but we also have to be honest. it is a first model. the gap is close now

over 14 months ago mike johnson took on a daunting task. no speaker is perfect and no one will ever be. however, achieving perfection requires incremental gains and hard decisions along the way. none of us will get exactly what we want. the fundamental collective goal of this body is to make progress for the american people in which we represent, and we have done just that under mike's leadership. we should be celebrating and building upon his efforts, our efforts. mike has remained the same kind and caring person as he was before he assumed this role. he is an honest broker, she shows you his true beliefs and faith values. he is steadfast in his values of faith, family, and love of this country. he knows our brightest days are still ahead of us, and i do too. i am hopeful for the next congress. i am optimistic we will focus on those issues that people truly care about. i know mike will be an integral part of this country's come back. she will lead us through another successful republican majority. as chairwoman of the unified house republi

trump wrote: mike has my complete and total endorsement. maga. all right, then next day, on new year's eve, walking into his gala party at mar-a-lago, mr. trump reiterated his support for speaker johnson. >> support speaker johnson, i think we're going to have a great time in washington. i think we're going to get great support, he is the one that can win right now, people like him, almost everyone likes him. larry: all right, so and add former speaker newt gingrich to list of johnson endorsements who said republicans should not waste time with an ugly floor fight. and g.o.p. needs to get behind the p speaker. >> so any number of republican luminaries have endorsed mike johnson for speaker and with pleasure, let me add my name to the list, he is a pro growth supply cider side, on tax cuts, a tough hawk with closing border. and eradicated terrorism hire at home. he is a law and order man, for drill, baby, drill. believes in trump's america first peace through trudge foreign policy -- through string foreign policy, speaker johnson is a common sense

>> i think mike will get there.y hard and talking to all members during the break. >> reporter: that leads us into the next topic, and perhaps the next thing johnson has going for him. it's not clear there is any credible alternative to him as speaker. if not johnson, who? steve scalise could not get there in 2023. he's got enemies in the republican conference. he likely has them still and that dynamic might keep johnson, even those who think he's not especially effective, say they like him. that dynamic might help push them across the finish line, ana. >> walk us through what we could witness and how this could play out. there could be drama if johnson loses in the first round of voting. what happens next? >> reporter: you will remember folks are called on one by one in alphabetical order and will stand up and vote by name. we know thomas massie will vote for someone other than johnson if there is a second. we will know at that time johnson does not have the votes to become speaker. what happens next is up to him.

forcing democrats to bail mike johnson out at the last minute. but then, earlier this week, donald trump endorsed mike johnson to be speaker of the house, and last night, just ahead of today's vote, johnson demonstrated his fealty to trump by promising to follow through on one of trump's biggest priorities in the new congress to rewrite history about january 6th. you see, since taking back the house in 2023, republicans have already wasted time and resources trying to discredit the january 6th committees investigation into trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. trump wants them to try to continue discrediting that investigation, even though he just won the last election. and mike johnson has now made it clear that he is happy to go along with that. last night on the eve of the speaker's election, mike johnson tweeted the january 6th select committee manipulated and destroyed evidence, it created a fake, phony narrative all to try and hurt trump. house republicans will continue our investigation into this corrupt committee. and so today, w

good evening, mike. >> mike: good evening, bret.nd sadly, we stand in front of another makeshift memorial. 14 wooden crosses for 14 innocent killed in cold blood while they tried to celebrate the new year. this as we learn the leadership here in new orleans was warned this could happen. >> new security vehicle shows the truck rented by shamsud-din jabbar speeding up bourbon street as the attack begins, this as we learned the city had been warned the top tourist attraction was vulnerable to a vehicle attack. a security assessment done by interfor international in 2020 wrote the french quarter is a fish tank of bad behavior. we create victims and don't have the means to protect them. several reports said french quarter crowds were at risk for a mass casualty event the 2020 assessment specifically mentioned vehicle barriers, interfor strongly recommends bollard mobilization to be fixed, improved immediately. the ceo of meridian rapid defense told fox news new orleans already had a stockpile of 48 archer barriers designed to stop a near

everyone knows mike, likes mike, respects mike. can't vote for him, i don't know who you would vote for. host: does he get the votes on the first-round? guest: hope so. some people may reverse on the second. in the end, there is one possible alternative. we are not going to elect a democratic speaker. if you cannot vote for johnson, you will push us toward a coalition speaker. host: what do you mean? guest: you would have to have someone who could get democratic votes. republicans who cannot vote for johnson do not have a candidate. there is no one they are pushing. you are saying i want a republican, i won a coalition. that would be in a norma's mistake. -- that would be an enormous mistake. i would urge colleagues on the fence to recognize and vote accordingly. host: what's happening behind the scenes? guest: people are trying to leverage the speaker, attract concessions for themselves personally or some ideological point. the speaker has been consistent, saying i am not making backroom deals with anybody. this is different from

mike: isabel lee, thank you.ding back to davos where arthur mentioned spoke --min sch spoke about the company's expansion plans. >> i like to look at it from a positive point of view. europe is about strength, the talent pool it has access to. the opportunity we had is the thing we provide to our customers. i think europe can contribute today and realize we are innovators. we are a continent of innovators. ai is the opportunity totinuous. there are other companies that are building on that and thinking of all the ai stuff in france and london. let's not look at the bad things. we have a tendency to put too much reverie in the trillion dollar face. we have the strength. we need to have the will to create in europe and innovate and create value there. francine: is there a first mover advantage or is it the execution and innovation that will win? arthur: the ai is going to be a revolution. long-lasting revolution. it will take decades for the way we behave and deal with computers. and a lot of things we are realizin
