robert scott, welcome to alta 0. will obviously wait to see what's and when that announcement is made by trump, but we do expect fits in the next few hours. but is this just about evening to score with 4 nations that the place taxes on american goods and to, to solve what he says are unfair trade practices, or is there more to this? i don't know, i say good struck the senior really liking and strategic intent is terror policy. you seem to just employ the user as an to go shooting flores without a further thought about how they're going to section, either exploiting or importing industries in the overall economy. which is going to suffer can you elaborate on that when you talk about the suffering of the overall economy? what impact is this going to have on american industries as well as the american consumer, or they're going to be facing higher prices? yes, they will be facing higher prices and they will also likely face increase terrace on us exports in 2017, 2018 shopping colors. very high, 0 is 25 percent or more

well, economist robert scott says trumps taps will likely be painful for american consumers. or is it good strapped to a singularly lacking and strategic contempt and his terror policy? you seem to just and for these uh, uh, as negotiating floors without any further thought about how they're going to affect it. either exploiting or importing industries in the overall economy was just going to sell in 2017, 2018 shopping photos. very high, 0 is 25 percent or more on china in china in turn restricted to or eliminated purchases of us agricultural products. and this had a very negative effect on american servers. and as a result, the truck administration had to put in place a subsidy program to, to manage over so $60000000000.00 to help pay bill out. american farmers has been heard by china is counter bailing terrace, as to what is a great risk. and their risk is the to the dollar to rise in value. and this would make all the imports of more expensive. so those kinds of strategic and, and longer term applications, i think they have not been taken into account by the top administr

she was formerly the nadine and robert scott heim, director of education at the huntington library. before that, she was a professor of history at the university of california riverside. she has written extensively on dolley madison. we were trying to count how many books and we agreed it was for that. she's written on dolley madison, one of which a perfect union. dolley madison and the creation of the american nation was a finalist for the george washington book prize. so please join me in welcoming dr. kavinsky and dr. al gore to what i know will be a fascinating conversation. thank you. thank you so much, lisa. and welcome to boston. thank you. dr. i'm going to call you lindsay. please do. just said that we have the best view out of a green room she's ever seen. that's right. that's us, you know. so let's start tonight a little bit up. what you mention at a dramatic moment, because you start with the dramatic moment, which is john adams inauguration. he's going to be the first president after george washington, the only predecessor and referring back to your title, making the pre

and scott, if robert kennedy jr has made it this far, chances are he will make it. he will make it.full senate vote. yeah, there could be a surprise, but he's gotten through all the committees. if republicans didn't think he had the votes, he wouldn't be as far as he is. kennedy, you'll remember, was running for president as a democrat recently as six months ago, wants to head health and human services. he has unusual ideas about health, including questioning whether hiv causes aids. he is the last of trump's most controversial nominees. former democratic congresswoman tulsi gabbard was another controversial pick. she made it through. she is now the country's director of national intelligence. the only nominee not to make it through was matt gaetz. he was trump's first pick for attorney general. his next choice, pam bondi, did become america's top cop. yesterday, she announced she was taking the state of new york to civil court over its policy to allow new york residents here illegally to apply for driver's licenses. and what new york has. they have green light laws, meaning they're

scott, and similarly has conservative credentials. he clerked for both chief justice john roberts and judge brett kavanaugh before kavanaugh joined the supreme court. scott is a harvard law grad who served three combat tours in iraq as a special forces officer and earned two bronze stars. and both sassoon and scotten are not going quietly into the night. in a letter to pam bondi, sassoon wrote this such an exchange with adams violates common sense beliefs in the equal administration of justice. the justice manual and the rules of professional conduct. she underscored the quid pro quo nature of the request to drop the charges against adams, writing i attended a meeting on january 31st, 2025, with mr. beauvais, adams's counsel, and members of my office. adams attorneys repeatedly urged what amounted to a quid pro quo, indicating that adams would be in a position to assist with the department's enforcement priorities only if the indictment were dismissed. mr. beauvais admonished a member of my team who took notes during the meeting and directed the collection of those notes at the me

scott. you bet. critical day for robert kennedy jr.e finance committee votes whether to send his recommendation that kennedy run health and human services off to the full senate. but it's got to get by this guy. bill cassidy, republican senator, he's a doctor, a doctor who has supported vaccines all his life. kennedy has questioned them. if cassidy here votes no, he may sink the nomination. cassidy has been posting biblical verses about finding courage to his social media. laura, we're not quite sure what to make of that, but we'll wait for his vote. well, a lot to cover there. you mentioned immigration. a new reality is really setting in acrososs the y area, as the trump administration follows through on threats to crack down on immigration. in some cases. we've already seen the presence of ice agents in cities, including san jose. and joining us now this morning live is san jose mayor matt mahan. thanks so much for joining us. i know your time is very busy, busy and precious. i want to start out talking about all thi recent ice aivit

scott and i just mentioned who quit today, clerked for the supreme court justice, chief justice john roberts, and for brett kavanaugh before he was appointed to the supreme court. not exactly a liberal, either. and it's also worth noting that scott has an incredibly successful career. he was awarded two bronze stars as a troop commander in iraq. kara scannell is out front in new york city tonight. so, kara, here we are. you know, you had another prosecutor resigning, saying only a fool or a coward would do it. and the biggest mass resignation since nixon. and yet here tonight, the breaking news is somebody actually signed it to dismiss the case. so what happened? >> yeah. >> erin. >> we've got three. >> signatures on this document. >> but it was really unclear. >> heading into. >> this morning if we. >> were going to end up exactly where we are right now. >> and what we know from our sources is that emil bove. >> the deputy attorney general, had. >> convened a meeting with the members of the public integrity section in washington, d.c. now. >> these are, you know, not. >> including the. >> f

the committee, i moved the committee robert f kennedy junior of california to be secretary of health and human services, is there a second? >> mr. gordon. mr. scott. mr. cassidy. mr. langford. mr. johnson. [roll call] >> the final tally is 514. >> with the clerk please restate the boat. >> fourteen -- 13. the nomination is reported favorably. we will turn to other senators who like to make a statement. i'll go to the republican side. >> thank you. i voted by today and i want to briefly explain why. i believe in my five years, mr. kennedy will be one of the first people coming before. he is the lens of an attorney and has brought many lawsuits on vaccine safety and of the things. i think senator warnock said the president said he would go wild the department of health and human services. i hope he does the hope he finds a way to reduce the cost healthcare. i hope he goes wild and instead of the discussion we've had for the ten years in the senate making medicaid work making people healthier, i hope he figures out how because of this quote is not much of the way, i hope he goes wild on safety so we can improve safety supply and goes wild on the hea

scott mcgrew joins us now. if robert kennedy jr.s going to make it that historically. that's absolutely right. today is the full senate vote. and while sure there could be a surprise, he got through all the committees. and if republicans didn't think he had didn't have the votes, he wouldn't be as far as he is. kennedy, you remember, is running for president as a democrat as recently as six months ago. he wants to be the head of health and human services, and he has unusual ideas about health, including questioning whether hiv causes aids. he is the last of trump's most controversial nominees. former democratic congresswoman tulsi gabbard was another, but she made it through sworn in yesterday as the country's director of national intelligence. the only trump nominee not to make it was matt gaetz. he was trump's first pick for attorney general. trump's next choice for attorney general, pam bondi, did. she's america's top cop now. yesterday, she announced she was taking the state of new york to civil court over its policy to allow ne

robert f. kennedy jr. has passed a crucial hurdle on the eve of his confirmation vote. rachel scott up on the hill tonight. >> reporter: tonight, the senate voting to confirm one of the president's most controversial nominees. former congresswoman tulsi gabbard as the new director of national intelligence. america's top spy. >> yeas are 52, nays are 48, nomination is confirmed. >> reporter: all democrats voting against gabbard. and there was one republican holdout -- senator mitch mcconnell, the former republican leader. mcconnell saying gabbard's record makes her unworthy of the highest public trust, citing what he calls a history of alarming lapses in judgment. including her refusal to denounce edward snowden as a traitor. snowden leaked government secrets and has been living in russia. gabbard also faced criticism for visiting former syrian dictator bashar al assad. and accusations of appearing sympathetic to vladimir putin. >> i, tulsi gabbard -- >> reporter: but tonight, she was sworn in in the oval office. this, as trump's pick for health secretary, robert f. kennedy jr., move

scott, thank you. well, just in the senate is agreeing to move ahead on the vote of robert f kennedy's nomination. this is the head of the department of human health and human services that is expected to take place tomorrow, signaling he's likely going to be confirmed. this comes despite concerns, even from members of the gop, when it comes to his stance on vaccines. also, justin, nbc news has learned that the u.s. agreed to send convicted money launderer alex vinnik back to russia. this was part of an exchange deal to free american marc fogel. vinnik pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering just last year. the terms of his release require vinnik to forfeit about $100 million in digital assets. he is expected to be transported to his home country later this week. vogel was released by russia yesterday after three years in russian custody for carrying medically prescribed marijuana. we are moving the bay area forward on a new chapter set to begin in san francisco today. mayor daniel lurie finalizes his ambitious plan to tackle the fentanyl crisis. as nbc bay area's ginge

scott, and that resigned today. he was a former clerk for justice roberts and judge kavanaugh when he was a judge. um, so these are conservative republicans that are resigning out of this sense of ethics. jeff zeleny what is the trump white house saying about this all? >> and, jake, given that background, there is very important for what we're about to hear and what we heard from president trump in the oval office, he said he had nothing to do with the decision to remove the charges here. of course, the allegations are that the white house wanted a sympathetic figure in eric adams to help enforce immigration law. that was the underlying cause of all this. but the president falsely said that these doj officials were all political appointees who preceded him from the biden administration. take a listen. >> if they had a problem. and these are mostly people from the previous administration, you understand. so they weren't going to be there anyway. they were going to all be gone or dismissed. if not, uh, they know on tuesday they're all being dismissed. you know, the whole country is being because wha

scott has a conservative pedigree. he clerked for u.s. supreme court justice john roberts. he also served in the u.s. army in iraq, winning two bronze stars before attending harvard law school. end quote. danielle sassoon clerked for justice antonin scalia. hagan, scotten clerked for justice roberts. it might come as a surprise to trump that federal prosecutors with some serious conservative credentials work for the justice department, and that perhaps prosecutions are based on criminal investigations, not party affiliation, something that came up at the confirmation hearing of another of donald trump's former criminal defense attorneys, todd blanche, to be the deputy attorney general. >> for this. narrative of. >> corruption. >> weaponization. >> get completely out of control. >> i do want. >> to just make the point that there. >> is another. possible explanation. >> and the other possible. >> explanation is that. >> the guy committed. >> the crimes. >> well, i do very much disagree with that, senator. >> as i expected. >> you would as his lawyer. >> and i. >> respect you not just as his lawyer. >>

roberts. >> so these are people with superb conservative credentials. and really, both danielle. >> sassoon and. >> higgins scott were regarded. >> as stars. >> in in the. >> office with. >> really bright futures. and these are people who, if they had. played ball. >> with donald trump. >> i think they could have seen themselves. >> potentially with. >> really premier judicial. appointments from. >> this administration. >> but they. >> chose not to do that. >> they chose to honor. >> their oath. >> and to follow their obligations under the law to really make sure that you're doing the right thing. >> here. >> and that you're not treating. somebody who's in political office. >> any better than anyone else. >> so i'm. >> immensely proud of. >> of them. >> for their choices. and then also these other prosecutors in main justice when the case was transferred to. >> them. >> they also said, no, we're. >> going to resign. >> highly unusual to see resignations like this on principle. but the reason. it's rare is because people. aren't asked to do anything like this. people prosecutors aren't asked. >> to do a quid pro

scott. >> reporter: tonight, two of the president's most controversial nominees clearing key hurdles, on track for confirmation. as skeptical republican senators fall in line. health secretary nominee robert f. kennedy jr. winning approval of the finance committee after the lone republican holdout, bill cassidy of louisiana, who is also a doctor, voted yes. >> mr. cassidy. >> aye. >> mr. cassidy, aye. >> reporter: cassidy had grilled kennedy over vaccines. the senator acknowledged he was struggling with the nomination. but ultimately cassidy, who is facing re-election next year, fully aware of the pressure he could face for voting no. now giving kennedy his full support. >> ultimately restoring trust in our public health institution is too important, and i think mr. kennedy can get that done. >> reporter: a few hours later, former congresswoman tulsi gabbard, trump's pick for director of national intelligence, passing a party line vote in the senate intelligence committee, despite republican concerns over her meeting with former syrian de dictator bashar al assad. gabbard and kennedy, two disruptors in a team of them. the leading figure, billionaire elon musk, who is out to reshape the go

clerk for chief justice of the united states, john roberts, as well as justice brett kavanaugh, back when he was a judge and assistant u.s. attorney scott, and said he would not file a motion to dismiss the charges against mayor adams. he wrote to trump's acting deputy attorney general, emil bove, quote, i expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool or enough of a coward to file your motion, but it was never going to be me, unquote. remember emil bove, trump's former defense attorney, wanted to dismiss this case not because of a lack of merit when it comes to the case against adams. instead, beauvais is arguing that the investigation will prevent mayor adams from cooperating with trump's crackdown on undocumented immigrants. let's go to cnn's kara. kara. kara, how is emil bove responding to these fiery resignations from impressive prosecutors with impressive conservative credentials? >> yeah, jake. so sources tell. >> us that. >> this morning. >> beauvais met with the remaining members of the. >> public integrity section in washington, dc. remember, five of them resigned. yesterday when they refused to sign a motion

scott announcing they raised more money last month with 8 million topping previous record five years ago. back over to you. >> brian: appreciate it. >> steve: thanks. >> ainsley: patriots owner robertthe super bowl with predictions. >> brian: check in with dana perino. >> dana: i will have to watch the super bowl prediction. >> steve: chiefs. >> ainsley: okay, i sit income to jesse watters, might be eagles. shots fired, trade war with mexico and canada, everyone bracing for impact. cbs says it will turnover the kamala harris transcript from last fall. new head of fcc demanded it. and a bernie sanders staffer came short of votes needed. bright spot in the news, one state improved reading scores we'll ask the superintendent how they did it, we'll see you at 9:00. patients who have sensitive teeth but also want whiter teeth they have to make a choice one versus the other. sensodyne clinical white provides two shades whiter teeth as well as providing 24/7 sensitivity protection. patients are going to love to see sensodyne on the shelf. when emergency strikes, first responders are the first ones in... but on outdated networks, the crucial technology they depend on, is limited. that's wh

hagen scott, and he clerked for brett kavanaugh when he was an appellate judge, and also for the chief justice, john roberts. so they both have conservative backgrounds, conservative ideals, but they are not willing to go along with the directive to dismiss the corruption charges against the new york city mayor because they don't feel that it's being done for the right reasons, which would be based on the evidence, but instead for the wrong reasons, which is politics. boris. >> yeah, they're accusing doj of a direct quid pro quo. kara eric adams is now responding to some of these accusations. what is he saying? >> yeah. eric adams was on fox news this morning. you know, following all these resignations. and, you know, this case still has not been dismissed. some justice department attorney would need to step forward, file that motion, and a judge would have to accept it. but he was on fox. and this is how he reacted to everything that has happened over the past 24 hours. >> think about that. think about that. >> think about my attorney. >> alex spiro. >> one of the one of the top, uh, trial attorneys in the

days, winfield scott scott had made sure that there were enough troops in maryland that lincoln didn't really, i don't think, had to worry about maryland and western maryland, where robert de lee crossed the patton mac. well, you know, that's like west virginia. you know, it's you know, they were not hardened fast southern pros slave is i think lincoln's was much more concerned about kentucky because that was where he was born, where he came from. and that's where i differ because along with a number of other historians because he could easily have lost kentucky would not have lost him the war so bending over always to keep these pro-slavery senior commanders put down the fremont's. fremont wasn't the only man there was butler hear from general butler from massachusetts. think a great hero. very underappreciated. david hunter, another all close down by lincoln. and so i think that was part of his problem. he he he was bringing as part of his baggage from the west concern about who might succeed or whatever rather than concerned trading on being the commander in chief, making the right decisions. and when they turned out to be wrong decisions or being willing to get rid

robert kennedy jr to run health and human services. the vote goes to the full senate. now, a few weeks ago, many thought that pair would not make it this far. marcus scottthank you. let's take a live look for you now over at the superdome in new orleans. that's where the chiefs and the eagles play. super bowl 59 this sunday. some fans, meanile, questioning the timing of a new decision by the nfl. this is to drop its end. racism phrase stenciled into the end zone. ever since the 2020 super bowl. the league is instead going to replace it with a different phrase choose love, which a league spokesperson says is more timely right now due to recent tragedies. that announcement also happens to coincide with president trump's confirming that he plans to attend the game. training for you this morning, just days after making peace with the grammys, the weeknd is setting his sights on. hello? jumpscare superstar dropped the first trailer for his film hurry up tomorrow. it's inspired by his first album. the psychological thriller hits theaters may 16th. the weeknd plays a musician with insomnia who unravels the heart of his existence. also a side note, the weeknd's

scott thank you sergeant youngblood. good evening commissioners president elias vice president carter robert stone executive director henderson and the public start off today with just the overall crime trends for the week. again we are trending very well going into the second week of february there's a 36% overall reduction in part one crimes that is comprised of a 39% reduction in property crimes and a 13% reduction in violent crimes. we are slightly up in shooting incidents. there is a four percent increase in shooting victims non-fatal or homicide victims. there's a 67% reduction in homicide victims killed by gunfire in terms of violent crimes or homicides, we have one for the year compared to three this time last year. so that is about a 300% reduction. but the numbers are very small . the real driver with our crime reduction is the continued reduction in car burglaries over the last year we are down 50 about 53%. so that's a really good sign and we continue to see those numbers being reduced. and the only other trend of note in terms of violent crimes, robberies, assaults and almost all categories except for shootings i
