in the second trump administration we can expect donald trump to be insulated from a lot of those types of problems that really hurt him the first time around. we're also seeing trump make very different personnel decisions which is a huge deal. everything throws through the people the president has around him. in 2016 he was considered a fluke even though he won the election and forget about the republican primaries when there were not a lot of capable or well established g.o.p. operatives willing to join the trump campaign because they thought it was kind of like an accident that he won the g.o.p. primary and he definitely was going to lose an embarrassing defeat and the "access hollywood" tape solidified for those republicans they made the right decision not to jump onboard. when it came to the transition there was a real scramble and donald trump didn't have anyone in the political orbit that by the time a politician arrives at a transition period and becomes a president-elect, they worked in politics for years and they had people from their old congressional office in washington an

if you member the first trump administration a lot of what trump was coming into office promising togislative image of the tax cut in jobs act was a first and ultimately only legislative accomplishment 2017. he came in promising to repeal obamacare feels like a lifetime ago something republicans wanted to do. none the less he spent an enormous and political capitol trying to get through on capitol hill and that was unsuccessful. much of what we going to expect to see from a trump administration in the early days he does not in congress four. trump is gotten a lot of momentum had a resonant message on draining the swamp are going after the so-called deep t state if you are deep state in 2016 people would dismiss that as a conspiracy theorist that does not exist, that's not a thing. even democratsy' of sort of acknowledge the quote unquote deep state there is a class of bureaucrats that can slow oral administration priorities they don't like that does exist. in 2016 we saw a lot of democrats and progressive pendants suggesting the class of bureaucrats does not exist. trumpp does not ne

for trump's, trump's running mate. as we all know, about nine months ago, a certain book came out that, uh, did some serious damage to those hopes for about a certain dog shooting a dog. yeah. but yeah, i think people will remember that. and incredible that that was only nine months ago. and here we are today. but but, you know, this is a person who clearly has high ambition and is a hard charging person. and she had her eyes on the on the vp prize. i think she's decided that, you know, the next best, best thing for her future ambitions would be if she can be the person who can become known as solving the border, uh, whatever that means. i think she's decided that that's something that is going to be her next step. and anybody who thinks she's going to be a wallflower and cede power to tom homan or whoever i think is probably going to be mistaken, well, it's going to be fascinating to see how that plays out. >> but lulu, you know priscilla. priscilla alvarez, our white house reporter. she's done extensive reporting on

i realized many trump supporters -- for many trump supporters, trump is the media. they believe what he says. when he says they are eating cats and dogs in springfield, ohio, talking about haitian migrants, they believe that. when abc news,, washington times, the wall street journal, or even the republican governor of ohio says it is not happening, they do not believe them. donald trump is their source of information. he says we have never had an economy as good as my economy when i was president, that is not true. or we have never had a worse economy than now, that is not true. people believe him. when it comes out of in the rest of the media -- what comes out in the rest of the media, they put aside. it is hard to have a debate about the national issues we need to discuss. host: let's see if we can get to a couple more folks before we have to let you go. robert is in oregon on the line for independents. good morning. caller: good morning. i voted for barack obama twice and donald trump three times. a couple of questions for david. i do not necessarily agree with y

why would donald trump do this? he is doing it because he knows he is principally responsible for the violence on january 6 so for donald trump to self exonerate pcast to exonerate them in a few exonerate them and he believes his own hands are clean. they are not clean. we are not going away. it's said that history is written by the winners. donald trump won an election but he has not won the truth. so we are going to let this go away. we are going to hold our republican colleagues to account. they have a very thin majority in this caucus. they did not do anything unless congress without the majority of the votes coming from democrats so we are going to stand up for a law enforcement we are good to stand up for our democracy in this story is not dead. with that i want to introduce one of the heroes of that day and that is a former capitol hill police officer harry dunn. >> good afternoon. forgive me for the fetterman get up. i like to be comfortable talking about uncomfortable things. i'm just going to talk -- talk

it is unclear what the value is or what donald trump or melania trump for that matter may gain from thise coin over the next year, as far as i understand it, and presumably effectively riding on the coat—tails of what should be a fairly cryptocurrency—friendly regime. and it is definitely capitalising on that. from a regulatory perspective, one does have to question whether this is utilising undue influence. but the crypto world, you know, is its own little universe. certainly is. marc 0stwald, there. if you struggle to get out of bed this morning, and you might still be in bed, it's ok, you are not alone. yes, today is blue monday, often considered to be the most depressing day of the year. bad weather, broken new year's resolutions and unhappiness at work all peak on this third monday of the year. if you haven't been feeling excited about being back to work after the christmas period, there's a good chance you're stuck in a "groundhog career", where you are repeating the same work over and over. career futurist dr david 0xley is co—author of the forthcoming book, he explained what is g

he is channeling trump. these are things that he knows that trump wants. he is very good at distilling trump's voice in speeches, which he often writes, and immigration is his his big issue. one thing that really got overlooked, caitlin, by the way, when stephen miller's title was announced, deputy chief of staff over policy, yes, but also the homeland security adviser. and in that capacity, he is going to be working very closely with tom homan, who is the border czar, who stephen miller thinks very highly of. according to a number of people, to try to, you know, impact and influence trump's immigration policy for as long as they can. now, does it look like everything they said was going to happen during the campaign? i don't know, it remains to be seen if they move ahead with, say, building camps to to engage in these mass deportations or do they just deport people directly? we're going to see what this looks like. but i expect that stephen miller is going to continue with what he was doing in the first term and in many cases, was stopped by the agencies

let's talk about donald trump. he celebrated the eve of his second inauguration with a rally in washington. he told supporters he plans to sign dozens of executive orders on day one of taking office. >> i'm thrilled to be back with so many friends, supporters and true american patriots on the eve of taking back our country. that's what we're going to do. take back our country. lizzy: joining me is bloomberg's joshua. we have had the rally. we are looking forward to the inauguration but talk us through the policy. from pledging a flurry of executive orders. -- trump pledging a flurry of executive orders. >> you want to make a splash at the beginning of his term. he has made a lot of campaign promises. among them, he plans to dozens today right after taking office in the hours following the inauguration. the most likely things we will see our actions on energy. that means reopening federal lands to oil and gas exploration extraction. probably diversity and equity policies that have been a big part of his campaign and

for years ago trump skippe

and so was the support for donald trump. the main concern for butch and judy harrell, the border. >> you're paying for all these immigrants, you're keeping them up in a hotel, giving them food, giving them health care. free. >> reporter: before trump's inauguration i took a quick break from cooking my own meal to see how butch and judy have been doing. >> you wake up on the day after the election, trump has been declared the winner. what's your emotion? >> grateful. >> yeah. happy. >> grateful. >> what is your biggest concern or worry for the next four years? >> the first thing that pops into my mind is just pushback. >> your top worries or concerns, would one of them be that congress will not get the job done? >> oh, yes. >> that's always a concern. but i feel like if anybody can make a change definitely donald trump is definitely at the top of that list. >> what's your fondest wish for his presidency? >> that the economy will turn around and everybody can live. i mean be able to afford things. >> tony, just like georgia wi

obviously, if he agrees with trump, he'll vote with trump. but this is a newly liberated mitch mcconnell. >> and michael, today we heard trump talk about the republicans who voted no during yesterday's during yesterday's procedural vote. will the republicans who voted no tonight see any significant repercussions? should they expect to get the treatment that joni ernst got? senator ernst of iowa got when she just mouthed opposition to him last month. >> i certainly think that the trump folks will make this attempt, and we're already seeing that reaction. folks are on twitter already on x this evening, eric trump, rick scott complaining about mitch mcconnell, eric trump putting out a tweet saying that mitch mcconnell is the worst. i think that there will see these attempts for retribution against people like susan collins, lisa murkowski, mitch mcconnell is in a sort of a bit of a different position because he's likely not running for reelection. he's not in leadership anymore. he's sort of this lame duck in the capitol, and he can run wild in

and trump won. so he went from sort of liking tiktok as a way to sort of keep his opponent off balance to loving tiktok because it helped deliver the white house to him, which is amazing. >> i mean, as you pointed out. but it's it's in a sense, chess, but it is all in what he thinks is best for him and for the people who support him. but, you know, today on stage with him was elon musk tonight for that, for that speech. and musk has talked about possibly buying tiktok, which again would be pocket change for him were he to do so. he posted about tiktok this morning. musk that is i have been against a tiktok ban for a long time because it goes against freedom of speech. that said, the current situation where tiktok is allowed to operate in america but x is not allowed to operate in china, is unbalanced. something needs to change. um, so is it. where is this headed? i mean, is it musk is playing a game where somehow with all of trump's chips with china, it's going to be twitter that that benefits and m

trump has opened the door to this.ld be the final chapter, would it not, in retelling the january 6 story, if you clear all the prosecutions, you relitigate in congressional committee, you tell a new story of what happened that day, reinvent history? susan: you can have a pardon, you can have commutation. you are still convicted by a jury of your peers, convicted in some cases by a judge. even if that conviction is wiped out against your record, it stands. those court cases stand. many of these were meticulously prosecuted. and we have heard some of the judges involved speak out against the pardons, saying you cannot be racist through this way, and that is true. joe: let's not forget that i think was yesterday, trump is still talking about heat won-- he won in 2020. you talk about his legacy. they do want to rewrite the story. that is a big part of what this new jan 6 committee will do, rewrite the narrative in his favor. caitrÍona: we had seen him soften that language in the debate he had with kamala harris. he was li

trump at a moment like this.some soft words but in terms of actually following through and delivering it seems unlikely. the russians are pretty tight with the core opec countries, they have worked together closely in recent years. that will take a major diplomatic effort to move opec in a meaningful way. caitrÍona: he said with oil price going down -- he assumed they would -- he would demand global interest rates drop immediately but that is not something in his -- simon: no. short-term interest rates are controlled by banks. long-term rates are more market determined. the concern is will there be inflation from further tax cuts or other actions that mr. trump is taking on the immigration front, for example? the bond market remains on edge. market forces will decide what the interest rates will be. caitrÍona: indeed we saw the dollar index klein while he was making that speech at the world economic forum. another thing he spoke about was countries needed to make their goods in the u.s. or else face tariffs. he s

same with this is trump. so there's this is literally, s i think an opportunity talk about the weather and what's going. i mean, there's just there's no substance. there's nothing about house so. will say, but i think this is literally age for buying time until then. but trump loves being in rooms with people and conversing. so he'll he'll still the room with all sorts of discussion. >> also an opportunity. and we said this earlier in the show to present that unity that transfer apparent power to the american the people. remember 4 years ago when this was flipped when it was president trump leaving office and joe biden we didn't job. yeah, but looking there at a very exclusive club. you see john painter, gingrich, kevin mccarthy, former republican speakers of the republican speakers of the house. and, you know, they've got to be in there thinking bemaybe feeling some sense of relief that they don't have to deal with what mike johnson has to deal with. a look at some for if you're a republican, it's great. you

donald trump and the incoming first lady, melania trump, will head to the white house in the morningor a tea reception with outgoing president joe biden and first lady jill biden. from there, president biden and trump will ride in the same limo to the capitol. biden will also follow presidential tradition, we've learned by leaving a letter for trump in the oval office. the incoming president is expected to attend three official galas later in the day. security, of course, is at a pretty exceptional high in washington. law enforcement patrolling the area around the capitol ahead of the inauguration. the swearing in ceremony, as you know, this year, will be held inside. it will be inside the capitol rotunda because of those freezing temperatures, which forced officials to make the change and move it inside. a lot of concerns about what it would feel like with the wind chill outside. donald trump, meantime starting his celebration a little early with a campaign style rally on sunday night, what he called the eve of taking back our country. trump, speaking to supporters at the capital on

trump.trump made the point. while this judge has a record, the judge is a reagan. ronald reagan appointed judge who said, and i quote, congressman, i have been on the bench for over four decades. i can't remember another case where the question presented was as clear. calling the order blatantly constitutional. as a former u.s. attorney. do you agree? >> absolutely. >> i think the order is unconstitutional. the only way to change the constitution is with a constitutional amendment. however, i do believe that the department of justice, working with homeland security, can find individual instances, maybe a crime fraud exception to this particular constitutional amendment that would start to whittle away at this, this law and not have it as broad as it has been interpreted in the past, but just with a stroke of a pen, a president can't do this. president biden couldn't forgive student loan debt with the stroke of a pen. past presidents can't do this. typically, presidents, especially in their f

trump have changed over time. is remarkable looking at what has now been a 10 year political career of donald trump where he started when he came down that escalator to where he is today. where he was at this .4 years ago, sitting about 36% favorable rating, one of the lowest for a one term president in modern history. certainly, most folks would have thought that was the end of donald trump's political career. today, he comes into office with, for the first time, really in the history of his time as president, with a higher favorable than unfavorable rating, slightly. somewhere around 47%, 48%. it is not like he's jumped up into the stratosphere in terms of opinions about him. i think how people view him now is with really clear-eyed. they are clear eyed about who he is, even though they may not like him personally. they do expect him to deliver on the promises that he put forward, especially on immigration and on the economy. as i said, it is not a deep well of goodwill but it is a bigger well of goodwill that h

even the threat of donald trump. i know how do you think china where you are, but indeed the rest of the world is looking ahead to the 2nd trump presidency. and what do you think lead is that and beyond have learned about how to deal with this president as well. quite frankly, you have to remember this is 8 years later and the world is not the same. donald trump is coming into a situation where china has an absence prepared itself for these kind of shopping off. you know, proceedings. but it's, it's odd with in china itself and beijing, their cautiously optimistic. they were very concerned about biden's ideological bound to see his desire to push the envelope, especially with taiwan. and also that's now trying to seize all of these areas. so they're looking forward to seeing what he has to offer. i mean, he has 200 proclamations and executive orders. he's going to assign everybody's anxious to so that we all know the areas that were, you know, mentioned by faster. but we don't know the specifics and how deep it is go
