mike lee, thank you for being here as well. i am the son of a u.s. marine.y dad enlisted in the marine corps at 17 .5. his mom had to sign the papers so he could get in. did you know that jd vance will be the first u.s. marine ever elected as vice president of the united states? when president trump picked jd vance, what a tremendous pick. it says a lot. by the way, maybe all you have to look at is who kamala harris picked for her vice president nominee. and who president trump picked for his nominee, jd vance. i tell you, i've gotten to know jd well. campaigning for him in ohio exactly two years ago when he had a big senate race in ohio. jd vance, we've all seen -- you know how smart the guy is. everyone knows the story of his life.the of overcoming adversity. we know he brings incredible intellectual chops, which you need to serve this great country. what you've seen is jd has been on the trail with his sweet wife and kids. you've seen this guy's heart. he is vilified. calling jd vance weird compared to tim walz? give me a break. tim walz is dancing queen.

, the senator from utah who has remained a close ally but if you want to get mike lee, clearly mattell because of a very narrow republican majority, one of which they need every guaranteed republican senator which mike lee all but is from these nominees. you may lose his vote for robert f kennedy junior or pete hegseth and that might be a sacrifice they are not willing to take, you named matt whitaker who has been up for consideration but literally just yesterday he was nominated to be ambassador to nato so that is where suddenly this becomes a little more difficult, you could have todd blanche who he nominated to be his deputy ag. but, this i think is a clear blow to donald trump in his transition right now that anybody that he puts forward is not necessarily going to get a free pass by the republican majority in the senate.>> well of course, our good friend vaughn hillyard brings up something very interesting, which is a very narrow majority, which we saw in the house, the speaker goes to donald trump and says don't keep stealing my people, i don't have very many of them. so now w

i know senator mike lee has said, dave mccormick i will escort you myself to the orientation. allowed to attend the race has been called, bob casey, god bless him a long time of service but he lost. dave mccormick is going to come to the orientation. we need the mayor he should be allowed to participate. i would say look it's not like dave mccormick is being sworn in this week he is attending in orientation. allow him to participate. be gracious, you lost then please get over. >> it's pretty incredible to me that you are still fighting who one who lost when the ap already called the race. >> absolutely we know dave mccormick is going to be our colleague so allow him the opportunity to get to know his colleagues. >> i get a move on to foreign affairs kamala harris david mccormick with me watch. >> a number of days ago mathematically there is no path for senator casey to win i'm up by 40000 votes which is a very significant margin and ultimately senator casey is going to have to decide when he is ready to acknowledge that. i lost a close election by 900 votes in 2022. i know it

we mow senator mike lee -- know senator mike lee is holding a forum tonight, the secret vote is tomorrow. should it be an open, not secret, ballot? who do you want to pick? if axios is reporting democrats are going to try to sabotage the trump agenda, demanding biden do a slew of executive orders, that could all be unwound. who would you to like? >> what we need is someone who is going to be committed to president trump's agenda. as i said, that first hundred days is going to be important. getting that a border secured, making certain that we make those tax cutses permanent, making certain that our allies fear us, that our enemies are -- they know that we'll come after them, making certain our allies mow that they're our friend -- i'm sorry, i misspoke there, and our enemies fear us. this is what people want to see. it was an overwhelming vote for president trump and his agenda last week, and people want to see action. they don't want us to take a lot of time moving on these issues. so doing the preparation work, having a leader who is going to be commitmented to getting that that agenda

you had mike lee from utah, he's behind rick scott.terview ended elon musk comes out and he says oh, yes rick scott for majority leader so we'll see what happens. tuesday night is when all three men are going to try convince the membership to vote for them and we'll know wednesday morning. i don't know why this has to be behind closed doors. why can't we see the process? >> well, maybe things will change. certainly as to your point, maria, there's a ground swell for that to happen. i've got to say, people are fed up. immigration and crime and safety, democrats did not listen. maria: no, they did not. we'll get back to all of that cheryl, thank you. let's get a closer look at your forecast, fox weather meteorologist marissa torres with an update. >> may, maria. good morning to you. we're looking from coast to coast and much of the country is very quiet. in fact, a lot of us have temperatures from 5 to 15 degrees above average. we'll kick it off on the east coast, east coast we had a front move through ending the dry streak, 30, 40 plus

mike lee's name -- >> i've heard mike lee's name, but of course there is a calculation there as far asping the majority the way it is, not just that, it is counting on solid votes on the issues that you care about. so when you pull a senator, you trust and rely on on x issue, there is the risk you may not get that same vote even if you think -- >> john: senator hegarty's name has also been thrown around. >> i saw his name -- there are a lot of names being circulated. we know donald trump is quite unpredictable, hence the matt gaetz pick, so it really remains to be seen. >> john: unpredictability is one of his strengths, let's just say. kerri, thank you so much.i guesf a surprise, just a matter of when. >> sandra: advantages to getting started early, as the president-elect has done, putting together his team, so now we await who might be next. >> john: and i wonder what the effect is on some of the other controversial nominees, as well. with gaetz kind of a sacrificial lamb that would allow others nominee who were deemed controversial to be given more... a last rough ride in the senate?

is it will be mike lee guys like mark polidoro or mac whitaker. major ambassador may be is needed at the doj because he was a previous acting ag under trump. there's a lot of questions and they will be answered i think as matt gaetz starts to show us what he will do next. >> you saw a house ethics committee go away. he resigned from the incoming congress so he could feasibly go back into that since he was elected but he might have to face that. >> kayleigh: he resigned from 118th and was elected to 119th and a gop source tells me yes, matt gaetz was elected and can be seated in the next congress in january i am sure there's a lot of legal nuance but according to what i am reading that could be a possibility for him i some question i am asking is what about recess appointments because president trump around them they had recess appointments he could have circumvented the confirmation process but what does this mean for the other nominees for some whose names have been mentioned like rfk and others is the recess appointment off the table? it seems l

originally mike lee was going to escort him around.nate leadership battle is healthcared and we saw madi talk about republicans who have come out in favor of thunun that. dave mccormick will be voting. >> ainsley: just because guy who lost does not cop con, other outlets have. schumer know shouldn't stop him from that. >> brian: i thought it was ceremonial, know kyrsten sinema said it is important. you said chuck schumer won't come on the radio show. >> steve: you said you never invited him. >> brian: that is my fault. he is probably a viewer, i asked bernie moreno, is chuck schumer going to block dave mccormick, he's in washington. is he going to come there, could we see a big confrontation. watch. >> this is time for country to come together and chuck schumer can bring democratic party together to help us and republican party get things done instead of being a partisan hack. he has two hours left, to show he cares more about the country than politics. dave mccormick will be the next senator for commonwealth of pennsylvania. he is her

can't they should make a pledge on that, i pledge to open to the public all voting, how is that mike lee. >> fair enough, if they do go together. i think reason for it in past people work closely together they wanted to preserve you know relationships within the conference, but on other hand, because we have been such a close loop e entity for so long, i think that american people would like it opened up, we need to have process opened up on amendment process with pl legislation, we have a 4 thousand p page spending bill and few hours to consider it, everyone has to vote yes or no. on a bill written boo by a small handful of people in secret and it is a binary up or down slow the that is wrong. larry: all of candidates seems to me, you should ask this no omnibus spending bills, no more omnibus bills, there is regular legislative order, the omnibus bills hold mischief and -- hide mischief and spending and taxing and over regulates and deficits and debt. they hide it all, from the public. >> right, when every piece of spending in federal outlays getstize tied to every other piece of spendi

mike lee said the executive branch should be under the direction of the president. yet, another reason we should #endthefed. >> the executive branch? the executive branch is. >> the fed should be part of the executive branch. he believes that the -- i don't want to put words in his mouth. believes the executive branch should technically be part of that. we have it here. he writes -- there you have it. elon musk saying 100%. he said that's how the constitution was designed so this becomes a quote/unquote constitutional issue if this goes to the supreme court of the united states. >> i understand the world and the economy and the country have changed drastically over the hundreds of years. the idea of -- have you ever heard of a president who didn't want lower rates? that's the only thing the question raises. >> i don't know who we want screwing up monetary policy. pick your poison. >>> coming up, jeremy siegel joins us next with the read on the markets. >>> as we head to break, cck he out the shares of tesla up 30%, 3-0 last week. >> announcer: this cnbc program is s

then we've got senator mike lee waiting in the wings. he's going to tell us about the next republican senate leader. but first up, fox news aishah hasnie leave in west palm beach, florida. aishah, what's cooking down there? i'm hearing all kinds of things. reporter: larry this, is the place to be and a bunch of people jockeying for different positions and interviewing with the transition team and hearing from the president elect himself once they are offered the job and right now the president elect is focusing on national security and the border. he made a big pick today tapping the former governor of arkansas mike huckabee as his new u.s. ambassador to israel. he says this about mike, mike will work tirelessly to bring about peace in the middle east and we're still waiting for an official announcement about senator marco rubio and a source familiar tells fox news he's been tapped for the most important -- big important job as secretary of state. rubio of course is vice chair of intel. he's well liked and respected by republicans and de

senator mike lee knows better. >> does he have his billy bats statement from "good fellas." >> how did it end? >> not good for billy. [ laughter ] >> i am not laughing at that reference. >>> the pros and cons of a trump presidency for the market. we talked about the potential chaos that could come to the fed, but there's plenty of optimism, the kre soaring 10% this week. wee have more on powell powell. don't go anywhere. to get the job done. i'm just here for the internets. at&t, it's super-fast! you locked us out?! and when thrown a curveball... arrggghh! ahhhh!

we have got one of my dear friends, the great senator mike lee from utah. good to see you. of course -- we have got whole crew here, steve daines. great to see you. and steve's lovely wife is even here in nevada. you have got the all-star crew. one last person i want to thank for being here for all of his great leadership, you guys are blessed to have a great state gop chairman in michael mcdonald. thank you for everything you are doing. i forgot to tell you, every single day i checked with the political team at the trump camping and say how well we doing? and every single day we just get a little bit closer and closer. they are saying, my friends in the state of nevada we are doing pretty damn well. you guys are doing a great job. you were doing a great job. in each state i've got the check. i am spending multiple -- we are going to multiple states at this point of the campaign, but now with early voting in nevada, it is over, so we just have to make sure if you have not voted yet, go on november 5 to vote for donald trump intake of this country back and give the american

you saw mike lee is up against ken paxton the potentially. this is all speculation, by the way.n really change up. but these two names bantered. mike lee appealer on -- appealer on fox moticias next week. don't forget to watch every day, 4 p.m. eastern on youtube. you can just search @noticias official. if you speak spanish, someone who speaks spanish, send them our way. way better than univision. pete: congratulations on your success. and it showed in spades on election night -- rachel: listen, fox couldn't have expecten into this market -- couldn't have gotten into this market at a different time. there's an appetite for different kinds of informations. pete: no doubt. we'll keep an eye on that board too because i know a lot of names -- names that get thrown out initially aren't necessarily names that are there, but there's a lot of qualified people, no doubt, and mar rah mar-a-lago's going to be busy. of. rachel: anything interest you on pete: all of it. [laughter] rachel: your guy, burgum, is on the list pete: he's ready for more winners. will: you want me to start picking w

go through mike lee and whitaker and pam bondi.ng if you look at this group trey gowdy and you think i like that person or i like this person or is this just a formidable group all together? >> it's a good group all together. may not say who you like ant don't like. may be prosecuted myself. john ratcliffe would be great in any number of positions. pam bondi, i have spoken to her this week. she would be fantastic. jay clayton, i think, would be great. i know matt whitaker. look, a.g. is really important because it's a dual role, trace. the policy won, he gets to put his priorities in place. there is also this fairness component. have you got to pick carefully. pick somebody that knows what they are doing. all the people there and you can include mike lee and some state a.g.s in that, too. i know pam and jay the best i would say. but he has earned the right to pick whoever he wants. >> trace: he sure has. you look at the house races right now. clearly the house has yet to be called. and i'm wondering, trey, as you look at these is i

we heard senator mike lee and one of the interesting things about mike lee is that one of his, someone that is close to him is running the personnel side of the justice team for the transition. so, there is that, it is interesting. we heard john ratcliff, in the running for that. i think right now the conversations are still being had. still vetted and trump is taking a lot of advice. you said, working the phones >> one name that we heard was the missouri attorney general. he actually just got re-elected on tuesday night to his first full term. serving in the role for two years. he sued the biden administration about student loans, on fox news a lot. not surprising he is a name. this is the position j.d. vance said whoever is the attorney general is more important than his job which is obviously notable given he is a heartbeat away from the precedency. >> one thing that trump wants to do is weaponize the department of justice. he wants to use it for retribution, clear his name, he wants to have complete control. he never understood his first term why that was the case. part of the reas

mike lee with me this morning.mp's tariff proposals, do they? >> absolutely not, stuart. and i think it's because the market tunes a lot of these experts out when they tell us with all this, you know, like, horrible things that are going to happen because of trump's trade policies because we lived through it for four years, and nothing that bad happened. in fact, manufacturing flourished in the u.s., things got a lot better here. these tariffs don't happen in a vacuum, they're part of a comprehensive strategy to promote manufacturing in the u.s. and it worked out pretty well before, i think people are confident it'll work out again. stuart: we've already seen some success. the president of mexico says these caravans are not going to make it to the southern border, and david bahnsen sitting here says these tariffs won't probably won't go into effect because they'll back down. what do you say to that? >> i mean, look, we'll see how this ends up playing out. i do not think canada and mexico have really honored the, yo

stuart: okay we spoke at length with mike lee about palontier. it's way up today 13%.t's the highlights though from their earnings report? taylor: overall revenue up 30%, raising revenue guidance for the third time this year, for guidance overall. when you have a ceo coming out and saying that a.i. spending and demand is unrelenting, comments like that is what moves the stock up 15%. stuart: i've got tesla on the upside this morning, i think it's at almost 250 a share with a theory, it's up because musk would play a significant role in the trump administration. taylor: there have been a lot of conversations about what would happen if he is in the administration. traditionally democrats are more ev friendly but if he's in a role with the trump administration does he have to give up control of the company? does tesla still win? how does this all play out. there's also some reports out overnight that they are raising wages by about 4% in europe when everyone else is actually starting to cut back on wages. he's hiring temporary staff full time and that could speak to good

one name currently being discussed is mike lee, the senator of utah, who also worked with donald trump results of the 2020 election. donald trump campaigned on a sweeping immigration plan, that will begin on the first day of his presidency. this includes the "mass deportations of migrants" and a major crackdown on illegal border crossings. he has pledged to "seal the border" and stop what he called the "migrant invasion". let's speak to tess hellgren, director of legal advocacy at the innovation law lab, which works with migrants. tell us about the practicalities of this. can he go ahead and do some of those things on day one? we go ahead and do some of those things on day one?— things on day one? we know these plans _ things on day one? we know these plans are _ things on day one? we know these plans are already - these plans are already written. what is up to us now is how we respond to them. throughout history in moments like this, communities have come together to protect families and community members, and that's what needs to happen again and that's what we're doing, and the rule

let's have a listen to senator mike lee from utah at point that some of the realities about what's really going on as a final parting gift. yes, i use that word very, very you, you from mystically defied ministration. wants to settle the american people with a tab that they don't want that they never agree to the banks personally rejected at the ballot box and that they cannot afford. instead of seeking a path to peace, the binding the administration is choosing escalation, billions of taxpayer dollars have been funneled into this conflict with little or no oversight and no end in sight. it says if writing blank checks has become our primary foreign policy strategy just days ago, president biden authorized you frame to use american provided long range weapons to strike inside russia. i hoped it was maybe a joke or effect news. it was neither, it was real. so this is not a step toward de escalation. so again, it's, it's remarkable what is being risked by this outgoing a government in the united states, the potential for serious escalation, the potential for uh, never finding out what happe

that's have a listen to senator mike lee from utah, a point that some of the realities about what's really going on as a final parting gift. and yes, i use that word very, very you, you, for mystically the by ministration wants to settle the american people with a tab that they don't want that they never agree to. the bay expressly rejected at the ballot box and that they cannot afford, instead of seeking a path to peace, the binding administration is choosing escalation, billions of taxpayer dollars have been funneled into this conflict with little or no oversight and no end in sight. it's as if right in blank checks has become our primary foreign policy strategy just days ago, president biden authorized to you free to use american provided long range weapons to strike inside russia. i hope there was maybe a joke or effect news. it was neither. it was real, so this is not a step toward the escalation. so again, it's, it's remarkable. what is the risk for this outgoing as a government in the united states? the potential for serious escalation to potential for uh, never finding out what hap

you've already addressed some of the issues that mike lee good. his land had talked about on. yeah . but um i, i thank you for listening to our somebody then. um, i'll explain if i notice discuss the issue of something which of the adjacent the way i and i was in the in mentioned that all the information manipulation uh, sort of agents using technology and data and the lack of transparency in all the technology systems today. mr. president, uh, you know, the group discussed that the internet was designed about 4045 years ago to be a global public. good. unfortunately, now, like many of the things has become very uni boatload of. it's a, it's controller by a few big tech funds. but they're on my georgia leanings and solve these platforms or big tech funds are not allowed to operate to defend countries like india. if i show indonesia and many others for that, it was in manipulation in sort of maintenance. the 2nd issue with discuss, mr. president was the algorithms that, again, uh, that we discussed previously in the i session. also really define how we think the i is actually b

state departments commission, not a loan mosque has agreed with an assessment posted by senate and mike lee who stated that the liberals loved rule as it facilitates a bigger governance. republican congresswoman marjorie taylor green also slammed the outgoing administration for going against the will of the american people. this comes just 2 months before the fight and before i didn't leave the white 1000 tons over the presidency to trump us, he's a senior correspondent and wide gas. the as has more on the reported military escalation. the news was broken by western media outlets, a controlled release of information by the button and administration where, but all these publications run down the, by the ministration spoken points on why lifting these restrictions, allowing strikes into russian territory with american me solve perhaps the most serious escalation so far, and this will why this is a good idea within the hour from said within 2 miles and will to little restrictions and strikes with storm shadow and scalp me solves. they had said a condition for that was that the united states wo

is having 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 af

we have heard senator mike lee of utah could have the role. we have heard john ratcliff, former director of national intelligence. also andrew bailey, he is currently missouri attorney general, two missouri guys on the list. the texas attorney general ken paxton who like trump has been indicted and impeached and former acting attorney general matt whitaker. i think what is more important from the names because donald trump's mind changes a lot and this will be a very big role for him, is what donald trump thinks about this. again i will remind you that after he left office in 2021, he often said his biggest regret was who he selected for the role referring to former attorneys general jeff session and bill barr. he says he has plans for what the justice department will do. when i talk to his team they say someone donald trump trusts greatly and also someone who he believes is very loyal to him. >> thank you so much. to you in washington, trump has said he is making plans for a lot of executive orders. what, if anything, can president biden do r

you have your leader who will not allow him to go to orientation and mike lee sagging he will escortick for orientorientation, what is thought process? >> they did the same thing to me six years ago, they did not let me go through orientation, chuck schumer blocked it. our leader at the time did not help me. same thing. schumer is going to do everything he can to block the trump agenda. we have to have a leader willing to stand up and say no way, we are going to do the right thing and stand up for our rights here. dave mccormick won. he won fair and square. he got more votes than his opponent bob casey, he needs to be part of orientation. i hope to see him today or tomorrow and will do everything to help him become a successful senator. >> brian: good luck on wednesday, see what happens as majority leader. thank you. nobody works harder, rick scott never stops. may have lost the election, one of v.p. harris' former staffers has a wild suggestion. >> he could resign presidency in next 30 days, make kamala harris president of the united states and absolve her. >> wow. we have a noble p

and looking forward to having a mike lee said a smooth transition. >> do everything we can to make sureaccommodated what you need, and we're going to get a chance to talk about some of that today. >> so good. >> welcome. welcome back. >> thank you very much and politics is not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today and i appreciate it very much it's a transition that's so smooth it'll be as smooth as it can get. and i very much appreciate that, jim. >> you're welcome. >> they conferred in the oval office for nearly two hours discussing domestic issues plus the wars in the middle east and ukraine. >> president biden reinforced his view that the united states, standing with ukraine on an ongoing basis is in our national security interest. >> the meeting was designed to launch the kind of seamless transition trump didn't give biden in 2020, as he challenged the election results january 6th would then set off a firestorm with trump skipping president biden's inauguration. the turmoil setting the tone for this year's bitter election traditionally, the first lady also hosts a tea for

republican senator mike lee said on exit he thinks that the fed should be under the president's controlports. we should note trump himself has not made a similar proposal. we should listen to what musk is saying, because we know he has the ear of the president-elect. the problem is the fed is fiercely independent. they view that as a future and not a ball. if we let politicians call the shots they would obviously keep rates very low. who doesn't like low mortgages and 0% car rates? we also know sometimes rates need to be high to get inflation under control . history shows that when politicians are allowed to influence central bank policy it can backfire by causing high inflation and high rates. >> inks so much. there is brenda reporting about president-elect trump and the transition. the executive order in draft form that could impact generals at the pentagon. we will bring you that reporting next. >>> welcome to the lead. i am jake tapper. this hour, a massive resignation with the archbishop of canterbury stepping down over the handling of a horrific scan go -- scandal and now they are

senator mike lee was yelling no to trump, now one of trump's biggest supporters. marco rubio has had one of the same positions to being a trump critic , realizing, he could not get anywhere in the party without supporting trump. he became an informal advisor to trump and varied the first term when he was senator, also then became short list for running mate. he was one of the last three names to put donald trump on top of the ticket there. now, you see he is being rewarded with the terry of state job. he is more very caucus , also kind of more mainstream republican when it comes to national security ideas. he is not as isolationist as trump is . he is a supporter of nato . i think looking there is kind of a balance in that office. >> it has been interesting to watch rubio's moves . he voted against the most recent round of ukraine funding me but he said, he did not have anything to do with ukraine it had to do with other issues. for rubio, in particular , i guess my question is, when you talk to some of these people who have gotten back on trump's good side, what

>>ut under the circumstances senator mike lee s he will escort mccormick if he does not get an invitation. >> todd: invite him to our show, i want him to feel welcome. president trump securing largest popular vote by a republican ever, 74 million popular votes so far purpassing his record in 2020. know ares four seat from majority. 18 races left to be called. arizona six with incumbent leading former democrat by 2000 votes. paying attention to that one. i iowa, marianette miller-meeks leads bohanan by less than 800. in senate republicans hold 53-46 majority over democrats. one spot left to be called in arizona. ga ga gallego leading there. >> carley: we could hold senate and house orientation. >> todd: let's do it while we're here. we'll have drinks. today americans honoring troops. president obama and vice president harris will have a wreath laying ceremony this morning. to all those who serve and have served our great country, thank you and happy veterans day. we talk every year, i love today, i always post that picture of my great grandfather. >> carley: he looks so much like you. >> t

eric smith, the senator from missouri and former attorney general, and you have heard mike lee, the senator from utah, he clerk for the supreme court justice alito and was general counsel to the governor. he was a former assistant united states attorney. and ken paxton, the attorney general from texas who certainly, you know, advanced cases against democratic policies and against the biden administration and democratic administrations. these are all people that are serious lawyers, and folks that are under consideration and have real legal chops. they will not take the job lightly and they will not engage in the law-warfare that is going to take place. in the last administration not a single political enemy was prosecuted. the biden demonstration cannot say the same thing. >> you're saying despite his promises on the campaign trail, you don't think that is actually going to happen? >> no, you're going to be put in the hands of a real lawyer that is going to be charged there. and is going to make decisions and i believe they will clean out the justice department. right? i think there will be

. >> already today senator mike lee who is up for potential high post with the president, you have him saying that the executive branch should be able to take over the federal reserve. already you have the fed chair saying, over my dead body is that going to happen because it has to remain an independent. already on two days after the election, we are talking about that. >> the federal reserve said publicly he would not step down >> it's important because you don't want the president to be able to say, hey buddy point a bunch of money . you have to really undermine the dollar on the world stage if the fed is just a puppet of the white house. these institutions that give us this great life, we don't know what they are. it's like having a house and you don't know how it was built. >> and ask you something? if he wants to do all of this stuff, get rid of some of these officials that are just regular people. if you must to do these things he has talked about doing, where is the check and balance? who is there and what is there to provide check and balance because there is no ethics czar. h

powell recognizes that and i sense from what we, too from senator mike lee and from elon musk is that will be tested. i think that could get quite nasty. >> powell knows what it means. does donald trump? thank you for joining me. >>> what does it say about the media that a three-hour podcast with joe rogan may have been more consequential than a network interview. we are going to take a deep dive into the role the media played in this election, next. . >>> in the wake of trump's selection win, questions are being asked of how the media covered this election but it's worth asking, what exactly is the news media these days? particularly when right wing podcast like joe rogan drove the news cycle as much as traditional outlets. as the atlantic charlie wars all put it, the legacy media has been competing for attention and reckoning with the truth that many americans don't read, trust, really care all that about what happens papers, magazines or even cable news have to say. a media correspondent for npr, david, i'm glad you are here. do we need to rethink with the news model is as we are s

mike lee, microsoft and meta is sold off because of the increasing cost of ai. do you think that selloff was a wrong move before the stock? >> absolutely. you have a lot of shareholders and investors and fast money traders. these fast money traders want to see immediate results immediately. and the momentum based algorithms pile on. if they were to beat short-term hurdles, stocks would be higher in a short-term inflated view. roughly 5% to 6% off, and two of the most successful companies in the world, putting it in perspective. one of 2 people has access to the internet, users meta-property daily. stuart: by both now. >> if you don't already, a long-term investor, small speed bumps that will get out-of-the-way. if you start thinking about ai, it is sorting through data. if you think of all the data that was created and collected from the history of time until 2003, we create and collect that data every two days. it takes an awesome amount of computing power to sort through that and make sense of it. these will be the leaders of the field. these will be long-term

john thune has been with for the past 5 or 6 years who can just as easily speak to a rick scott or mike leean collins, more moderate in the middle, that is what that body prizes and cares about. i think he or john cornyn could have done that. he commanded the most respect, he will be a very positive new leader. john: paul: the mega world urged trump to play in this race by supporting rick scott in florida but he only got 13 votes. was trump smart to stay out. >> absolutely. he will need the new senate leader and rick scott always had a ceiling of 12 or 15 votes, he would have been backing a loser and made a bunch of enemies in the end, not the way you want taa start new presidency when the senate is so important to you. paul: the president elect demanding thune adjourned the senate when they take office in early january. so he can make recess appointments for his nominees that serve in the job through the end of 2026 without a hearing, without a debate and without a vote in either committee or the floor. most senators don't like giving up their prerogatives. what's the chances of this happe

are you are in the running for attorney general alongside paxton, john ratcliffe and utah senator mike leett, do you want the job? >> one person will determine that and that is donald j trump, who just won a landslide election. he wants someone he knows, likes and trusts, someone that has been there from will beginning, been unwaivering in their ability to defend donald trump against lawfare nonsense. the attorney general will have to go to the department of justice and fix a lot of things that are broken and change the culture back to basic blocking and tackling that it is known for, national security, law and order, rule of law, principles the department of justice has gotten far away from. >> todd: we will take that as a strong maybe. the left is threatening to stymie trump's agenda through the court. last 48 hours we heard gavin newsom, pritzker, phil murphy, governor of new jersey and leticia james pretending to talk tough, we are going to fight donald trump every step of the way and phil murphy even saying to the death. what do you expect them to try and how does whoever leads the tr

jack smith saying i'm wrapping up these cases because of the supreme court that you have senator mike leea sign that these investigations were political law fair. so there will be chaos agents in the mix. >> so, i just want to say that like withdrawing the cases is exactly an example of jack smith following doj rules. this was set up with watergate. a sitting president shouldn't be criminally prosecuted. you shouldn't have a local da prosecuting a sitting president because it would lead to chaos. so the substance of these cases have not been dismissed by any court. aileen cannon's ruling, the florida judge, it was like a technicality that jack smith wasn't properly named a special council. so the fact jack smith is doing this, obeying this norm shows the fairness of the system. he said he was doing this bauds of the need for the president to be freed from this but not because of the weakness or the case or something improper. what happened on january 6th was incredibly serious. so was the president's, sorry, president trump's handling of classified documents. >> do you have a sense of how

senator mike lee of utah, someone who has been loyal to trump and also, one name we have heard has been pitched to trump directly, that's mark paul letter, he served in the first administration, someone who has remained close to trump. he has a big legal background. those are just some of the names of their consideration but a big deal, given how important the attorney general role is to donald trump. also, chief of staff, who's going to be the one in the white house with him day in and out, helping kind of run what is happening in the oval office and throughout the administration. we know suzy wiles, his campaign manager is definitely someone who has been floated. i will say that i've heard many people believe she may be better in a different type of role, a more outsider role, someone like a counselor or senior advisor. someone like kelly and conway, other names we've heard, russ without, he's been running a think tank in d.c. we've also heard brooke rollins who ran the america first policy institute, a lot of names being batted around. it's still early particularly because we know do
