but boy, did i hear you say they're going to the nra convention, but they're not going to the engineere some reminiscence of some talking point from fox. and i hope the secretary, with all due respect, you need to lose that part of his past and focus on what he said he was going to do. warfighting and readiness and going after the industrial complex that is dragging out the deployment of multimillion dollar and billion dollar programs that are very ineffective. and that's what he said he was going to do. but he's still stuck with one foot in that fox chair. and he needs to move on from that because the grunts are watching him. the grunts want him to say they're doing good. >> yeah, i mean, he i mean, to be to be fair to him, he really doesn't know how to do those other things. he's he's a fox tv host, not really somebody who's managed a big, complex organization like the military. but here's another thing that that that has been done under hegseth. west point has disbanded cultural clubs in response to trump's anti dei executive order. the clubs disbanded include the asian pacific fore

i heard him call the nra a terrorist organization, and yet the nra is silent on his confirmation. i've heard him say that gmo's are concerned. hopefully we can convince him that not all gmo's are, it is feeding the world -- corn, drug resistance, healthy vegetable -- drought resistance, healthy vegetables. there is no organized opposition against him. maybe it is time to have a different kind of disrupter there. the only way that senator kennedy -- i'm sorry, senator kennedy --the only way bobby kennedy and i would get crosswise is if he does take a position against the safety of proven vaccines. that would be a problem for me. he answered a very important question to me during the hearing. i asked him specifically if it was his intent to let the scientists of the cdc, nih, and other organizations working abundantly. said -- work independently. he said to me under oath that he would. if he fails to do that, it would be a concern to me, something i will bring up in a future oversight hearing. mr. chairman, we have not made appreciable progress in medicaid and improving the health o

the issue of guns and and then additionally, yeah, you saw the nra is struggling through a half decade long scandal that they just wrapped up. and that didn't happen until the election was basically over. and they had fewer resources to devote to the campaign. they have fewer connections with the trump administration than they used to. so, you know, i think that has played a role in the prominence of guns as an issue. >> stephen, what's the outlook for the atf attorney general? bondi. early on, i mean, i think this was day 1 or 2 kind of, um, suggested or ordered that the resources would be moved away from alcohol and tobacco. um, there's no director, there's no acting director, there's no nominee. so what's the outlook for the agency? >> yeah, it's kind of just the f now, i guess. left in in atf. although from what i've read, the alcohol and tobacco enforcement arms of the atf were already pretty atrophied at this point anyway, so it may not be as significant of a shakeup as it seems similar to some of these attempts to roll back the biden rules. a lot of those rules have been blocked

nra is silent on the confirmation so i've heard him say the concern, hopefully we can live constraints of protein producers but there is knows, maybe it is time to have a different instructor. the only way senator kennedy -- i'm sorry, the only way kennedy and i declassified is if he does take the position against the safety of vaccines from a that will be a problem. he answered an important question during the jury, i asked him specifically if it's his intent work independently he said he would. if he fails, that would be a concern for me but we have not made progress. we have a snack program that has too much sugar and they should be illuminated. we need to stop having full trash cans in public school cafeterias and figure out how kids can have a healthier lifestyle so i think it is time to put a disruptor in and put somebody in that is going to go wild. there are areas i think that is what we need and there are areas if you touch the gold standard, the i'll have a problem with that nominee and we will bring up but as for those reasons in the back but there's not a single organizatio

. >> keep going they basically the pulitzer prize to a fake news story that's like the nra giving anrd to alec baldwin. it makes sense or did he winning the tim choi -- teen choice awards. >> he did have his choice of teens. >> but who gave them the award. george santos that was great so kat what say you? we always knew they were. [ bleeps ] because we've never gotten one. where the hard-hitting journalism of the show the expose we did on the canadian shop teacher with fake. [ bleeps ] nobody was following that except for us i think it's fair to say except for you i was forced to follow it by you. and really they are just to america's and their people will point out the most ridiculous and expects a trump and cbs as around 10 billion in damage and there's also people in the interview you have to acknowledge was as it did in her favour and trump was mumbling and stumbling like that i believe no. we are in this media where can they say something positive about trump than your trump lackey then urinate anti-it's the more independent thought out there the better i disagree. i don't reall

and his next five years his goals are to get rid of isa, the nra, and his virginity.er 20 wonderful years, chuck talk has left nbc news. he plans to take some time to... wow, way to ruin my joke. he plans to take some time to enjoy what is left of his hairline to. kanye west wife appeared in a see-through outfits at the grammys. making viewers grateful that west is not married to hillary clinton. terrible! on friday anti-i.c.e. protesters burned to the american flag, the country they want to stay in, and waved the mexican flag, the country they don't want to return to. that is like cheating on your girlfriend with your wife. [laughter] >> jamie, you do not not on that one. that is not a lot -- nod to. >> think about it! >> greg: finally options could be coming to an end at america's last big city stockyard. now if you want to place a bid on live cattle you have to place a bid in new york city. you are so mean it. i wouldn't do those jokes if you do not love them. so trump had quite a weekend while the rest of us mowed lawns, watched a game, or called i.c.e. on selena

millionaire at the top in ken matthews and the other is david hog only called for abolishing ice and nradid a bang up job here. jacqui: they've come a long way. next one, espn steven a smith could consider running for the presidency after a poll showed him just behind 2024 nominee for vice president governor tim walz. listen to what steven a. smith had to say about that. >> i doubt i'll ever run. it's not me. illuvia pretty good life and don't want to ruin it by getting involved in politics. but i got to tell y'all something, the democratic party looks so pathetic after this election, i might entertain running. stuart: all right, joe. democrats really don't have a clear leader. isn't it a sign of desperation that a sports congressmen cater will be considered? >> that's the whole thing; right? the fact that steven a. smith is trailing tim walz, that's not necessarily a position you want to be in but that's a position to come down to. donald trump was with the apprentice and got elected president and let's take a guy on espn literally 24 hour as day it seems, and i'm a fan of stephen a. sm

that's like the nra giving a hunting award to alec baldwin, you know. >> it makes sense. >> or like, did he winning the teen choice awards? you know, he. >> had his choice of teens. >> that's a good point. good point. but it's just like who gave him the award like jorge santos. that was great. kat. >> what? >> kat. kat. what say you? >> yes. >> isn't it funny? though? we always knew the pulitzer prizes were. >> yeah. >> of course, because we've never. >> gotten one. >> yes. >> for the hard hitting journalism. >> that is this show. >> that that that exposÉ we did on the canadian shop teacher. >> with. >> the fake breasts. nobody was following that story except for us. >> i would say it's actually even. >> fair to say, except for you. yes, i was forced to follow it. yes. by you. >> giant boob lady man. >> yeah, they're. really just. but i think that there really are just two americas. i think that there's people that haven't seen this, and then there's people that will just point out only the more ridiculous aspects of trump. his some of his lawsuits, which there were ridiculous ones,

we were told that it wouldn't be possible for us to create change because we couldn't talk about the nrawe couldn't talk. about banning assault weapons because it was too unpopular in florida. but because we did that and we had the audacity to go on the offense instead of just being on the defense constantly, we were. >> able to win back. >> we were able to get republicans on the defense and win. we raised. >> the age. >> to buy a gun to 21in florida, and passed a red flag law that has been used over 19,000 times. >> so let. >> me ask you then, in this case, how you nationalize that. because what i guess, what are you going to say and do that's different than what we've heard from democrats in the past decade, since donald trump came down that escalator. >> you know, i think it's about showing that we're a big tent. it's showing that there are people like myself that obviously are on the more progressive side of things that are doing the work, but also understanding that our party has a diverse array of, you know, perspectives. and i was just, you know, talking to some of our members tha

he's somebody who said the nra is a terrorist organization. he's somebody who now american samoa, parents of 83 children who have died because he advised them not to get vaccinated for measles. this is not just somebody who would be too left wing for a democrat administration. he obviously is far more radical than any republican administration would ever nominate. and yet, i think, you know, he is right now on the verge of an incredibly close vote and could get confirmed for secretary of health and human services. >> it is interesting to think about what would have happened had democrats and democratic president nominated an rfk jr.. as health and human services secretary, what republicans might have been saying about him. >> yeah, exactly. i think that you'd see pretty much uniform opposition to rfk if that was the case. >> mark, i do want to ask you about the latest twist in how this administration, the new trump administration, is dealing with what happened on january 6th, because obviously, it started out with the pardon of unilateral pard

it opened just weeks after the fall of the regime of bashar al-assad, and is run by nra, a charity whosei support that focuses on children affected by war, child psychologist rahaf al-balad says that many of the kids here show signs of aggression and are lacking love and attention at home, a result, she says, of the grinding hardship of 12 years of war. most women of daraya are widows, so the mother took the role of the mother and the father, she tells us. so she has to work, support and raise the children. this all affects her wellbeing as the euphoria of liberation begins to subside, the hard work ahead is becoming clear and communities like daraya will need all the. support they can get now. and we talked about those sanctions that were implemented to put pressure on the regime of bashar al-assad, and which have had a devastating impact on the syrian economy. last month, the u.s. government announced that it would issue a limited six month license, which would effectively ease some of the restrictions to allow more humanitarian aid into syria. but so far, it is still keeping that broa
