hill? absolutely not. reporter: did your kid kill hannah hill? no. craig melvin: two trials. i was a wreck. it was just very intense. craig melvin: would there ever be justice for hannah hill? the truth always comes out. [music playing] hello, and welcome to "dateline." hannah hill was an outgoing teenager with a future as bright as her smile. then suddenly, hannah went missing. when her body was found a week later, police zeroed in on two potential suspects-- her boyfriend and another young man who had caught hannah's eye. but to crack this case, detectives would have to unravel the clues held in a mysterious black bag, one that appeared seemingly out of nowhere. here's dennis murphy with the night hannah hill disappeared. dennis murphy: she was a girl who made big entrances. she could walk in the room and light up a place. she'd make a whole room smile. she was always happy, just wanted to have fun. dennis murphy: but it was her exit, her sudden disappearance-- poof-- gone from her house, just like that,

that is not even the most sprawling part of all this. they chaos unleashed on capitol hill came not at the hands of donald trump, they chaos was kicked off the early morning ramping of elon musk, the unelected south african born and raised world's richest person who torched the original bipartisan deal with more than 150 posts to his 208 million followers starting at 4:15 a.m. on wednesday and after all his political threats, elon's musketeers and johnson's paper house jordi fell in line to kill the original deal. the deal passed by the house last night and then by the senate early this morning made winners of the american people by keeping the federal government open until we have to go through all of this nonsense again in march. but, the drama surrounding the passage -- on thursday, trump forced republicans to vote on a doomed alternative bill that included elimination of the debt ceiling and 38 republicans defied him. last night, 170 republicans defied him again by voting for a bill that was stripped of language related to the debt ceiling. johnson is a twofold loser in

uh, i think is quite the human eye to criminalize runs on payments not on the hills that the security agencies slow right on. 2 factors are responsible, especially for white kid not being for us on the striving and 19 i think we need to get the conversation very correctly. number one is the fact that named you is a cash based economy. now what do you use to pay for run some? well, i would imagine if you're a clever kid now, but not a digital currency. yes. in 2023 doing cost based transaction to the about 52 percent. now what happened is because the government on the relevant authorities, as the meat investments in digital banking infrastructure. now, once you, you caught the sauce. once you ensure that the economy, the use of caution to companies reduce it better. as minimum, the business will be to create a variable because no keeps up a want to take money by, by wire, by bank transfer, anything because it'll be a trip so long that this cash in the society. the issue of keeping up being is no going any we soon right now, the last time we still have lima, we were asking about what yo

not the enemy. that's a steep hill to climb with this president. because he entered into politics on a hot dust of grievance. and much of that was directed at the media. you know, the phrase fake news has entered our lexicon because of him. and we should be clear it's not that he sees everyone in the media as his enemy. he has appointed several people from fox news to be part of this cabinet and his in coming administration. what he does not like is scrutiny. what he does not like is a press core that's willing to ask tough questions. what he does not like is a press core that will put his policies and his leadership under a microscope. and, i flattery will not work in trying to change his mind. we've seen that for the last eight years. i applaud his optimism but i don't think it's going to help. >> that may relate or not to his business interest in the next trump administration. i do have to ask about the l.a. times. because if bezos is trying to appeal to trump's favor is one thing. dr. patrick chong installing an ai sort of manipulation to i gue

buy a sweeper that does not we do up the hill. i'm not going to sign one up. rds and down the hill and someone can get killed. >> did we purchase the equipment before? >> we do demonstrations on the equipment before we think about purchasing it. if we are not familiar. let's say we put a bid out and somebody bids on the equipment and we are not familiar with it, we'll require them to bring a piece of equipment out and prove that it can meet the specs before we purchase it. this is a huge impact to the budget and would assume this is brought to the mayor's office as far as the cost. the other thing as far as the charging piece, to have the infrastructure in place you buy the equipment? >> yes, that would be logical. i have a saying. also in the right way, the wrong-way -- >> also building relationship with some of these partners. is there any communication, kind of way of seeing if there is any of some of these car dealerships i was wondering if there was one from the city. >> are you talking about bringing one to our yard and building it there? >> yes. our yard

looking at who's going to be running the dnc, what voice are we going to be putting forward not only on capitol hill in the media room as well, they are talking about crazy radical anti-women idiots. and then they are leaning into the aoc vibes. that's not going to work and is not going to encourage our allies on the world stage. i think trump and his team are doing the right thing and i think that hopefully we can make america stronger again on the international stage, specifically when it comes to our defense. >> trace: rfk goes to the hill on monday. here's senator jim banks on cnn. watch. >> rfk is obviously a unique and diverse choice. longtime lifelong democrat. one of the major figures in the kennedy family. obviously he has a lot of the use that donald trump appreciates and supports. >> trace: about 30 seconds tiffany, does he get the welcome mat or does he get a little pushback? >> he might get a little pushback but 53 republican senators, there's some wiggle room. rfk jr. is a unique pick and he's exactly what america needs. 40% of our youth and adolescence have at least one chronic illnes

and so i was grateful to be there, not only on the hill for the mental health issue but also the homelessness issue. and as we all know as mayors, those two go hand in hand. you can't address one without the other. and as well as fentanyl. there are so many of our youth that are addicted to opioids and unfortunately overdosing on fentanyl, but oftentimes the root cause of that is they're suffering from a mental health issue. as you know, i spent 40 years in law enforcement and the last 18 years as chief so i got to see -- >> police chief. >> firsthand. >> you're a police chief. that means, think about it, if you are the police chief and you get elected as mayor, holy crap. you are well liked. >> yeah. >> like that's got to be so impossible. >> and suffering from mental health. >> right. >> so, yeah. yeah. i just think we made a huge impact and i think we're going to see lasting results as a result of that from d.c. so thank you. >> and you brought up something. you said bill clinton back in the '80s said this -- >> '90s. >> or was it the '90s? >> so you've sort of equated this bill clinton so

yes, you can, no you can't, yes, i can, that is the dynamic on capitol hill. notpeaker is. >> roy is interesting. part of what is the issue here is that there is genuine -- this is why this is happening. and the policy in the republican party. there is one thing they are all into and maybe a huge consent on is big tax cuts. corporate tax cuts. it is simple. racking up more debt and spending cuts attached to it. i have been negotiating it. we have three dozen house members that believe in this. they want to cut spending. trump does not believe in that. the republican party at large does not care about that. >> i think a lot of them came to congress. >> yes, throw a wrench in it, the shut her down mentality. thereat is a real aspect. if you came here to prove government does not work voting for continuing resolutions and, you know, trying to make the system work a little better that is not what you came here to do. that is not what your voters sent you here to do either. they have a real problem. i think it is a problem no one person can really solve. just because,

it's not just rfk, it's tulsi gabbard, and pete hegseth who are controversial in their own ways. now that we're getting to a point where all of these nominees are on capitol hilltwo, it's a reminder for many reporters, many senators, many staffers, that this is not just one confirmation battle that's going to be difficult, thorny and controversial, it's several of them, and it means that january is going to be a month of fireworks on capitol hill. >> no doubt about that. david, let's talk a little bit about rfk jr., you do have obviously vaccines, you have abortion. you have his comments about fossil fuels, and the pollution they cause as a health issue as well. things that make folks on the right a little nervous. could they stop the confirmation or ultimately do you think that donald trump will get his way? >> i think donald trump will get his way. what we saw on the hegseth meetings on the hill last week, if you isolate joni ernst, the pressure from conservative media, all of this is starting to feel a lot like the kavanagh hearings, there are people with protestations, then they come into the fold. the greatest concern in the health care space with rfk jr.

said that he understood in conversations with lawmakers why this was not a hill worth dying on and thattting down the government would not be a positive political path to take at this time. elon musk, trump's sort of coconspirator in this entire effort to shut down the government and blow up this spending bill. he has also been looking for silver linings in the last 48 hours. you know, just a few days ago, he posted on social media, quote, no bills should be passed by congress until january 20th when donald trump takes office. but if you fast forward to friday, trump or excuse me, musk instead, he said the speaker did a good job here, given the circumstances. it went from a bill that weighed pounds to a bill that weighed ounces. so clearly trying to claim victory in the narrowing this bill from a sprawling 1500 page document into a much more easier to read one. although when you talk to republicans on the hill, jessica, many of them point out that while the bill was smaller, the price tag didn't go down and steve, we're also learning about some new appointments from trump. >> what more
