house speaker mike johnson and john thune could agree to return both houses and let trump do this thing, giving away the senate's biggest check on presidential power. their power to advise and consent and presidential appointments. this morning, pro maga senator rick scott who unsuccessfully ran for senate majority leader reported that all three candidates for the post including thune who once called trump's role in the capitol insurrection and inexcusable, great to the recess appointments scheme. it gets worse and weirder. some trump allies are suggesting that even the senate didn't agreed to adjourn with the house but the president could unilaterally send them into recess and make all the appointments he wants, checks and balances be . is not what the framers intended and it appears to be unprecedented and authoritarian that even very conservatively collectivists at wayland who helped push through brett kavanaugh's confirmation lasted it today is a cockamamie scheme and implored speaker johnson not to let it happen. you can guess how that will go over. how willing are the republicans

people made a calculation that all the stuff hollywood people and all the stuff liz cheney and mike pence and johneople wanting to know who was going to do best lowering prices, fixing the border, and dealing with the cultural issues. democrats have to grapple with -- when i said there was a eulogy, it means what we did last time, that's done. what he was able to do so well, what president trump was able to do so well, was to connect with voters, and our message didn't connect with voters. we've got to listen to people and respond to people. and finally, i'd your mind everybody the two presidents in my lifetime who had more of a conviction and a relationship with hollywood and dated the best for ronald reagan and donald trump. donald trump is part entertai entertainer. how he became the star he is and known household in the country before he ran was the show "the apprentice." hollywood was part of that. i don't agree with everything sly stallone said, but i'm huge fan of rocky and rambo. >> jesse: up next, whoopi goldberg just got burned by staten island bakery that she tried to smear. ♪ ♪ when mi

and mike schmidt is here. >>> john, i start with you and sort of your body of bannon reporting.hink that he started with this effort which again out in the open of destroying the administrative state. if i remember the reporting with the white board with his west wing office in the short time he was in the administration. it is meant to divide news room and having people facing their tails into the investigation into gates and gabbard's comments if they are get anything reaction from the mighty senate republicans or if hegseth's scandals. the sum of the reactions to those. it is brooder. >> i think the first time he said the deconstruction of the state. the first time he said it out loud to everybody in the word was in february 17th where he was the trump forces were ascendants and he was interviewed. he was on stage with prives and he talked about the priorities in the trump term. he talked about nationalism in terms of foreign policy, talked about nationalism in economic policy and then the third thing he talked about was the deconstruction ever the administrative state. and t

conversations but some of the names we've learned, texas attorney general ken paxton, mike lee, the senator from utah, john radcliffe, the former director of national intelligence also two names we don't have on our list, mike davis, and mark paul letter, these are two conservative attorneys who have done a lot for donald trump in the last several years particularly mike davis, if you look at him, he has been on television nonstop, really pushing a lot of donald trump's illegal ideas, and defending the former president. we know being on television is something that trump monitors closely. now the other key position to keep in mind here is chief of staff, who is going to be donald trump's number 2, now number 2 -- we are told that the front runner is susie wiles, who helped run his campaign and really helmed his win getting it back into the white house. he feels comfortable around her, he feels as though she is somebody who protects him and is loyal to him and i just want to remind something you just said, when donald trump left washington in 2021, he left in disgrace, it was after january 6th, after he had

the podcast in polotic, national affairs joe halmen and new york investigative reporter mike smith is here. johni start with you and sort of your body of bannon reporting. i think he started with this effort which, again, always out in the open destroying the administrative state, if i remember with a white board in his white house office. it may of taken longer to arrive at this. it seems intentional that the cabinets of trump is meant to divide news room and chasing their tailses and see if tulsi gabbards comments are going to get any reaction from the mighty senate republicans. or, if hegseth's scandals. it seems the sum of the reaction to those is intended to advance the brooder project of bannons? >> reporter: i think that the first time that steve bannon ever said the phrase, deconstruction of the administrative state, the same, but the first time he said it, 2017 where he was the, the trump forces were ascendants. steve was in attendance and he was interviewed and he talked about the big priorities in the trump term. he talked about nationalism in terms of trump policy, nationalism, terms

i give president credit, john ratcliffe mike waltz, a plus picks, more you get to know pete hegseth andss you will like him, i'll be surprised if he gets confirmed. >> brian: so would i, especially how he blew up the house with no plan b. it was lethal blow to house majority. america wanted republicans in charge. we'll see where that goes. when it comes to the president so far, speed in which he is staffing is noteworthy he enters knowing he has four years and maybe two years with a lot of power. >> trey: yeah, he learned a lot that first term. anyone writing a book about you afterward should be disqualified. do not hire people that will trash you after they leave, after you made them famous, don't hire them. he has to hit the ground running. history says you have two years, he may defy it. at most four years. they have been given a gift, a gift to have all gears of government, but you have to use it appropriately. >> brian: you have been there, elon musk and vivek ramaswamy are going to start this maximum transparency doge operation to gut spending in government. what are they up again

if you have people like tom tillis and mike rounds and john cornyn all saying, you know, i'm a senator, i like to have some prerogative. it's literally in the constitution that i get to advise and consent on these nominees. senators like their power. they like their authority, their willingness to give it up limited. >> just real quick. i want to take a quick, broad look at some of the picks that we have seen so far, which really is, if you look at it holistically. classic donald trump, a casting call you have so many former tv stars tv hosts, entertainment ceos as part of part of this, some have some government experience i would say many not most, but many do not. >> they don't. and i think that the through line here is that all of these nominees would be coming in with less experience than their counterparts in the current administration. and so often we hear from republicans that they are principally concerned about merit. the biden white house took a lot of heat for putting so much emphasis on racial diversity the republicans do not feel burdened by matching that level of racial d

. >> sandra: mike tobin, thank you. >> john: let's bring in leo terrell, to a large degree, it seems we are reaping what the biden administration sewed on the border. for example, tren de aragua four or five years ago wasn't even a blip on the radar. now it is metastasizing across the country like an aggressive cancer. >> these gangs and illegals who are committing crimes are basically being protected by blue city governors and schools. city mayors who will provide them with protection. they are battling against i.c.e. who has a constitutional duty to deport these individuals. ite blue cities are placing criminals and illegal above american citizens. it makes no sense whatsoever. >> john: the new york city police department is now warning that tren de aragua is trying to recruit young children in migrant shelters. already they are out there in the streets. you could have gangs of super violent 11-year-olds who are committing retail traffic going around on scooters robbing people of their personal eff effects. watches, jewelry, cell phones at gunpoint. it will not be long before someb

people like john bolton, people like mike from bill were given top jobs in his administration. even though it was evident my mind could see the kind of game that they were and always has been up to elliot abrams. another one is south america who, if he does the same again, his administration will not to be able to get out from the swamp. not just this lump in washington, but the swamp in world affairs that has been created by the united states in recent decades. well the night is still very young. i think a lot of people felt confident if they were in trumps, come back in 2020. they were a couple of biscuits, a slightly different news. the still projections i bought it definitely looks like a trump seems to be powering ahead in some of the states which might be crucial to say to a re election that was uh, george galloway was bought your br, it's need a full mouth which is m p it is always a pleasure getting you've used to insight your opinion. you'll take. thank you very much, george. as well, how do things dot? it is around just before 11 pm eastern time. and you can see the t

john bolton term one. mikeh, elise stefanik, mike huckabee is worse than a neocon. he is christian evangelical zionist who thinks end of times will come faster if we have a war in the middle east. >> he has hired an aide to dick cheney saying his daughter should have guns trained on her face. when he was young was a supporter. >> a terrorist. this is not me just throwing it out. the ambassador to the united states was a member of was a designated terrorist organization until a few years ago. think about how crazy that is. he is sending a guy who the united states considered a member of a terrorist group. united states considered a member of a terrorist group.

strong choice along with the other members that have already been announced including mike watts, a lease and johnfe. >> as far as his views on the military, we already heard some of them. he has an outspoken on cable news every weekend. he did a podcast a few days ago, listen to what he said there about a women's role in combat. >> i am straight up sing we should not have women in combat roles. it has not made us more effective or lethal, it has made fighting more complicated. we have all start with women and they are great but are institutions do not have to incentivize that in places where traditionally, not traditionally, over human history, man in those positions are more capable. >> what do you make of him saying man in those positions are more capable than women serving in combat? >> i know many women who have served in combat and served in our military. they do a phenomenal job serving , i will let him obviously better articulate his view on that matter. i think at the end of the day, we need a military that is prepared, ready for battle and that obviously includes men and women serving in

there is a plan being formulated by mike johnson right now and john cornyn or whoever becomes a majority leader. the mistakes of 2016, i think we were surprised that he one, i'm not saying he was surprised but others were surprised. the other thing i remind you of, when he wanted 2016, do you recall what he said about hilary clinton? she has been through a lot. there was a lot of room to prosecute her but he said she's been through enough. i wish my democrat friends would say the same about him. drop the cases in new york and georgia. biden should not wait on donald trump to end these final cases. if you really want unity then quit using welfare to divide the country. quit using the justice system to try to win political races. >> we are still following the senate races and as we wait for the former president, by the way , nigel they are talking in the crowd there. this is remarkable in that some of these races were not suspected to be close, expected to be close. mike rogers was a long shot. in michigan, good candidate. former chairman of the house intelligence committee. but, sam brown

they firmly believe that john kelly and mike pence and other of these now apostate members of the trump broader circle don't have constituencies of the room. they don't have followings and their defections will ultimately be immaterial in voters minds. the harris campaign feels differently. they spent money running ads about john kelly's comments about donald trump. the beauty of this is we will find out tomorrow for the next couple of days whose theory was right. as i stand here, could not tell you. >> we are going to let you go. you need at least a few hours of sleep because you are going to be up all day. >> reporter: that's a happening. >> thank you so much. think everybody here. you better he rest up and stay hydrated. the marathon has just begun. >>> elon musk might not be on the ballot but his role as a political operative is being put to the test. you need to understand what this man could be up to and we're talking money, power and politics. >>> the measures to keep voters safe at the polls. our special election coverage is getting underway on a now, it was a monday night but w

the american people said clearly on tuesday night, lower mike cost-of-living. >> john: he used the tariffs where that goes. here is what the committee for a responsible federal budget said about the trump tax cuts. trump's plans come with a heavy price tag. the nonpartisan committee for responsible federal budget predict the tax cuts could add $9.15 trillion over the next decade to the national debt which sits near $36 trillion. give me your thoughts. >> i think this is a silly argument. tax cuts are great for the american people, so if you have to pay for tax cuts, you know what you do? you cut the budget. you cut spending. that will take care of it. >> john: ken, great to talk to you, thank you so much, appreciate it. >> thanks john. >> john: sandra, tomorrow is friday of a very long week. >> sandra: happy friday eve. ever get to say that. things for joining us. i'm sandra smith. >> john: and i'm john roberts. we will see you tomorrow for fri-yay. be "the story" starts after this. ss rapidly—leading to irreversible vision loss. now there's something you can do to... ♪ ( slow. it. down.)
