let's look at the outlook with scott kennedy, senior director from the center for strategic and internationales. will it be a better year for china? scott: 2022 was about as bad as they come so if you look at the little bar that was set in 2022, 2023 could be better. now, will it be much better! i expect it to be bumpy, but there are ways in which things can be improved. but there is a crisis of confidence amongst china watchers and think tanks and the business community. a lot of things that china needs to turn around in order to raise confidence by all of us watching. haidi: when it comes to foreign policy and geopolitics, we have a new prime -- foreign minister. it does not change the outlook for you when it comes to the relationship between u.s. and beijing? scott: i don't think fundamentally. his raising to be foreign minister could help. he spent the last year and a half in washington seeing how washington works, what the discussion here is about china. he has met a lot of people. u.s.-china relations will be his number one foreign policy challenge. plus, he is also tight with beijing.

what mike mansfield and hugh scott and jerry ford and hubert humphrey and ted kennedy and john stennis and barry goldwater knew them to be. some of that change is good. a lot of it is tragic. and all of it is simply is what it is. you can point fingers or you can point the way forward to something better. some of that change is good. what is the change that you've seen in the senate that you think is good? well, i think there's more transparent. see, in the senate, which i think is good. i i remember the debate over heavy television in a in the senate and televising hearings and all that. or today, of course, with the ability to do that, it's much easier to get this out and play for some who are opposed to bring about some grandstanding. and it did. but there's great in saying before now some of the people who do the grandstanding it's obvious to the public and hopefully it gets a debate quite you know i was a. in law school a georgetown law i was at that time had the o school right down just two or three blocks from the capital. i used to walk up the hill. i walked through it and you'

kennedy: totally irresponsible, i did the same thing scott pelley, that sounded like nancy pelosi with problem. congressman james comer, hardly, today pointing out biden now sounds silly for having criticized the former president. >> i'm not going to be quick to judge, i know he said it was very irresponsible for president trump to take classified document to his personal residents in a location. kennedy: they were locked in a closet, they were total secure. the whole situation likely causing major headaches for attorney general merrick garland, he is trying to decide whether to prosecute trump over his classified document fiasco. so today's news might complicate that decision. on top of all, that biden documents were reportedly found before the midterms. early november, why are we just hearing about it? let's break it down with our party panel, attorney and republican strategist alexander wilkes and fox news senior political analyst juan williams. and the host of the sharp way show, u.s. marine corps vet, larry sharp, welcome. you know, first thing i thought, a alexandra, i wonder if

scott had set schedule. instead of micromanaging the majority leader was actually laissez-faire. president kennedy's cabinet quickly learn they can meet with the majority leader all they like, but he would not get ahead of its members but he would listen politely and refer them to the appropriate chairman. when snafu problem-solving tactic was to try simply doing nothinghe. one biographer marvels at his awesome monumental, fearsome, incredible patience. he would sit stiffly erect at his desk on the senate floor hour after hour and sometimes they after day. leader mansfield prioritize treating members equally. apparently he never even took a position in the races that determine his own whip. one small button touch mansfield made sure the sentence only to women members smith and newberger got a pair plum offices that shared a private restroom. in the mansfield senate, proceedings became more orderly, less theatrical. crucial work migrated out of holy confrontations and hideaway handshakes. and into hearing rooms and committee offices. the senate was less defined by top-down dramatics and bills and pri

scott featuring the white house christmas ornament on the today show. well as you know, the association has worked closely with 12 presidents and first ladies since we were founded by mrs. kennedy, and it was very special in fitting to have dr. jill biden attend the gala representing those special relationships listen now to these segments from her powerful remarks about the white house as an international symbol. as a museum as a home and also the work of the white house historical association for the last 10 months. i've had the honor of partnering partnering with the white house historical association. just like the 11 other first ladies before me and although this pandemic has kept us physically apart. i've already seen the positive effects of this meaningful relationship. start your organization has been invaluable to my team, and i'm so excited to see all that we are going to do together. i will never forget the moment. i stepped over the threshold of the white house on inauguration day. the mahogany door is closed behind us. and as we turned around the grandeur of the front hall. cut my breath the crystal chandelier reflecting off the marble floor. the presidential seal

kennedy was and that but there was a thought that went into that. i mean, that brain of his was analyze. each one of these guys. what did hugh scott need back in pennsylvania right after watergate, as a moderate republican? why hugh scott, the republican leader, would come across the aisle. he would join with on a campaign finance bill because the republican party in the senate desperately needed this. and hugh scott in pennsylvania desperately needed this. so analyzing each one of these senators and what their needs were was a very important part in putting together this kind of and they by the way, that bill that and this is another lesson that bill was held the campaign finance bill was hailed on the front page of the new york times as the bill that would end the influence of big money interests in american politics. yeah, supreme court. got a call, got hold. supreme court got a hold of that. and today, we're in a position far worse than before. is there not a big mormon church in boston if i made that up so well in belmont? yeah. romney. yeah. the i the politics true. i mean, the that there were political alliances and this wa
