top picks signals what direction that donald trump wants to go and in particularly interesting is mike walz who was republican from florida who is somebody who is a strong china hawk speaking out against china and marco rubio who we believe will be offered secretary of state if everything holds and again, donald trump nothing is official until it is and also a big china hawk an indication of the direction he wants to go in particularly when it comes to one of his campaign promises which is being incredibly hard on china and the interesting thing about marco rubio and mike walz to some extent, he has seen a more adaptive approach to donald trump and gone a little further with them but marco rubio himself is not known as an isolation list and american first policy in kind of a globalist in terms of who is up for secretary of state so how that plays out in donald trump's administration is something we have questions about. >> what about the announcement today which isn't official or which is official unlike the rubio one which is coming but hasn't yet but the official announcement of the u.s.

he's not saying that just as an observation, he is looking at the national security adviser, mike walzble secretary of state marco rubio, who has voted against ukraine aid, the vice president-elect is against helping ukraine. can ukraine get the upper hand here, and are these top advisers going to be persuadable? >> well, this is a real problem, margaret. you know, i think what you're seeing is this delivers a psychological blow to the ukrainians. ukrainians are struggling to generate the manpower they need and to sustain their defensive efforts. and that's -- it's important that they get the weapons they need and the training they need, but also they have to have the confidence that they can prevail. and any sort of messages that we might reduce our aid are quite damaging to them from a moral perspective. i think and what i hope is that those who president trump has nominated, and president trump himself will begin to see the quite obvious connections between the war in ukraine and this axis of aggressors that are doing everything they can to tear down the existing order. heck, north

congressman and former green beret mike walz officially appointed national security adviser. both men are fierce critics of china and strong supporters of israel, who voted against the last round of ukraine funding and have substantial political track records. they were figures in washington, if you will, apart from or before donald trump. second of all, they're not isolationists by any means. they'll fill key roles at a critical time on the world stage alongside congresswoman elise stefanik, who president elect trump picked for u.s. ambassador to the united nations while choosing former congressman lee zeldin to head the environmental protection agency. the first 100 days, we have the opportunity to roll back regulations and as the senators who will approve the growing list of nominations greet their new members in a body shifted to the right, democrats who did win their seats, looking to diagnose where their party went wrong. i think that they were deeper just distrust and a lot of problems that people are facing right now. they just don't feel like government right now is

it's notable that trudeau was sitting with president-elect trump, and mike walz and that trudeau, maybeate behind the scenes how to go forward, but in contrast how mexican president claudia schei nba um has handled this. and she says that's not how it played out. two very different approaches on either side of the border, but i've got to say, jackie, i was online shopping yesterday, i was at the mall yesterday and online it was slow going with internet speed because so many people were out shopping. at the mall it was so crowded. this is anecdotal, but people are getting out there. don't know if that's high tariffs, but it was something to see. >> we don't know to your point, julia, but you're right, spending was in the air the last few days. >> great to see you today. thank you. jackie: to the middle east and cease-fire tested by the day. how are both biden and trump responding today? we've got live reports coming up. >> israeli forces claiming to strike a hezbollah target on the syria border with lebanon today as both sides accuse each other of the violating the cease-fire. stephanie

exclusive interview on "fox news sunday," incoming national security adviser congressman mike walz set a priority will be ending this war. >> president trump has been very clear about the need to end this conflict. and so what we need to be discussing is who is at that table? whether it is an agreement, an armistice how to get both sides to the table and then what is the framework of a deal? that is what we will be working with this administration until january and then beyond. >> knelt waltz and president elect trump let met with the european secretary-general here in florida to discuss global security threats and at this war particularly the need to increase american energy said the europeans are not as reliant on russian energy which will be a key part in bringing an end to this war. arthel? arthel: thank you for bringing down all of the details thank you. >> some controversy among neighbors up north canadian prime minister justin trudeau is in a bit of hot water. you see him on the left dancing at a taylor swift concert in toronto. while on the right anti- israeli protesters wreake

mike walz was out there defending donald trump. he has also been seen at mar-a-lago.ther person we have seen at mar-a-lago is elon musk. you are absolutely right that his influence is incredibly great right now with donald trump. i am told from my discussions with people familiar with this is that, many lawmakers are calling up elon musk , and he is also calling up lawmakers right now jockeying continues, particularly as we are looking at the senate leadership fight, and musk putting his finger on the scale for rick scott. >> you very much, elena. for any reason, whether linked to trump or not, will it be like, holy cow, i am getting a call from elon musk? that is the reality, it is the celebrity of it too that aspect that is a part of the trump ethos that he likes to cultivate. you know a lot of these people . you have worked with a lot of these people. mike waltz, not, but some of these other people in the inner circle have remained, you know that. what is your reaction to this team and how quickly that has come ? >> i know all of them and none of them raise major a

is choosing for his national security advisor another republican member of congress, congressman mike walz of florida. after congressman walz helped in the effort to keep trump in power whereby after he lost re-election in 2020, you might remember -- this was an amazing florida story. you might remember a very unusual apology being published by congressman waltz's hometown paper, the orlando sentinel. it was an apology to their readers for having endorsed mike waltz for re-election. they apologized for having endorsed him after he helped trump overthrow the government. mike waltz has also distinguished himself by claiming that trump was not responsible for january 6th. he also has proposed that dulles airport should be renamed trump airport. so clearly congressman mike waltz has checked all the boxes that he needs to be national security advisor in a second trump presidency term. today we also learned tom holman will be in a job trump is apparently calling border czar. remember when republicans used to maintain with a straight face it was a huge scandal, it was evidence of communism to cal

administration, at least in the terms of the way it is shaping up from the national security adviser mike walz if he picks rubio and if he comes back, that is a hawkish administration that i think we will try to keep much of the competition agenda that we have seen in the biden ministration in place and ramp it up but the chinese will take their shots. >> am i remembering correctly that senator rubio voted against additional funding for ukraine? >> correct. i think michelle is spot on and i think rubio is in line with where most of the republican party is with the exception of mitch mcconnell and others about bringing this war to a close but i will make note that china has a role to play and they have been russia's lifeline so for putin this is golden and a broad open chessboard for him to play both sides of each other in the ukraine conflict so look for the diplomacy to kick into gear and leverage china and the usn ukraine. >> hang tight and we want to make notice of one item on the president-elect's agenda, argentina's president, javier milei will be meeting with president elect trump and el

sources tell us that trump offered florida congressman mike walz the role of white house national security advisor, the three term republican congressman was the first green beret ever elected to the house. here's a look at some of the president's other selections. stephen miller and tom homan are taking on senior roles. homan will serve as border czar and miller a former senior advisor will serve as deputy chief of staff for policy. meanwhile, former new york congressman lee zeldin has been picked to lead the environmental protection agency and elise stefanik has been c chosen as u. ambassador. they are sharing their plans for the upcoming administration. >president trump made it clear e will prioritize public safety threats and national security threats first and that's what the focus will be. there's over 1.5 convicted aliens in the country that we'll be looking for. >> day one and the first 100 days we have the opportunity to roll back regulations that are forcing businesses to be able to struggle. they're forced to cut costs internally. >> i think first and foremost it will be undersc

now, the incoming national security adviser for the trump administration, mike walz, was asked about the possibility for a cease-fire in the coming days and weeks. and this is what he said. listen. >> hamas has been devastated. iran is incredibly exposed at this point. so, i think now is a moment to craft some type of arrangement that not -- doesn't just put a pause for future october 7ths, truly bring stability to the middle east, sets the stage for what we saw just a few years ago with the abraham accords. >> reporter: of course, we have to be very cautious, alex, as you and our viewers well know, over the last year many times we have reported on statements from the biden administration and other officials across the region that cease-fire agreements both in gaza and in lebanon were within reach, only for the war to pick up and for strikes to resume. so, we have to always be very careful, but the fact that the trump administration is telegraphing so openly the notion that they are capable of somehow coming to, you know, getting the parties around the table to agree to some sort of

[chuckling] because he has been an agitator to say in the house of representatives. >> it is true, you has been one of the ones, but think about what this does, how much political powers this is giving to governor ron desantis down there. a senate seat obviously if marco rubio is confirmed, you would have to appoint somebody until another election for that prominent role on the line. districts all through florida to talk about mike waltz, matt gaetz another, it will all go through special election. you have to imagine ron desantis will try to do this as quickly as possible, without special election for her district, but it gives him quite a lot of time in the political spotlight with so many

sources also say the president-elect will name mike walz as his national security adviser.serve as ambassador to the u.n. tomorrow president-elect donald trump will be traveling to washington, d.c. for that face to face meeting with president biden at the white house. sources tell us melania trump will not be joining him on this trip. >> michael: thank you so much for that. now the new warning about holiday flight delays. gio benitez is tracking this for all of us. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, michael. good morning again. this morning the faa said things are back to normal at the austin airport after long delays and wait times over the weekend there. take a look. the faa blames those delays on an air traffic controller shortage. one member of congress saying there is supposed to be 13 working but only had 8 that day. earlier this year the faa said it was short 3,000 controllers. more than 1800 have now been hired so far. but many are still in training. now, in new york on sunday, we had a different issue. also with air traffic control. the faa briefly rerouted inter

it runs the gamut from stephen miller all the way up to marco rubio, tim walz -- mike walls. these people come from different wings of the republican party. i think if anything, donald trump is showing that he wants to have every -- the conservative movement and the pelican party has a lot of different corners and a lot of different people revisiting those corners. it is smart to bring in people from all these different corners but maybe they don't all have the same exact pitch -- >> what is the policy going to be? >> whose? >> the trump policy. >> i am wondering if mandir can speak to this, do you give a sigh of relief that maybe marco rubio won't be the guy to pull out of nato? >> a few years ago, marco rubio would have been the best person i could have hoped for as the secretary of state under trump administration. but when i read those comments he made about ukraine, that gave me pause. i'm a big believer in the idea that the president gets to appoint whoever he or she wants, right? that is what you do when you win an election. you get to advance your policies for your pe

. >> well, i think it's really very interesting that mike walz, the incoming national security advisorreally interesting saying, well, you know, this must be a good deal if everyone wants to take credit for it. i'm paraphrasing. but it is true that hochstein and others were communicating with the incoming team, with walz and others throughout this. and in the last couple of days telling them, you know, this was coming together. and not asking for their permission, but certainly wanting to, you know, work with them even though there was no laid out plan for a transition communication. so they were reaching out. they know the reality. the reality on the ground in terms of who is coming in, so you have got the new ambassador to israel is going to be a right-wing settler who in previous decades was on both israel and america's terror list for being so radical he was part of kahan's group, american born, rabbi, scholar, very, very conservative. the u.s. ambassador to israel is going to be former government mike huckabee, a christian evangelical who actually has said that there is no such th

does the keystone state hold the keys to the kingdom question mike we will speak with harris walz cochair chris coons coming up next (♪) “the darkness of bipolar depression made me feel like life was moving on without me. then i found a chance to let in the lyte.” discover caplyta. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta is proven to deliver significant symptom relief from both bipolar i & ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. caplyta can cause serious side effects. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. anti-depressants may increase these risks in young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. caplyta is not approved for dementia-related psychosis. report fever, confusion, or stiff muscles, which may be life threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements which may be permanent. common side effects include sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, and dry mouth. these aren't all the side effects. in the darkness of bipolar i & ii depression, caplyta c

walz, who's on my committee, like rubio, like mike pompeo, and robert o'brian and like-minded, you know who are probably more back from the reagan era, that we can't afford to lose this fight, and it's vital to our national interests, because if ukraine falls, taiwan is next, and that would be world war iii. >> if you want peace, prepare for war. >> projected strength. >> that's right. >> reagan. it's an axiom that's historically accurate. project strength, you get peace. project weak ness, you get conflict, aggression and war. >> coming back to the peace initiative, which president-elect trump keeps discussing, while the key elements of the plan are obviously not public, we have certain indications. for example, ukraine making some territorial compromise. perhaps a demilitarized zone between russian and ukrainian troops. perhaps, in that zone, european forces. perhaps arming ukraine substantially so russia doesn't dare attack after this peace agreement. almost every voice we have heard from russia has essentially rejected these things. how do you see this negotiation playing out, given
