it really does show that america is and jens he is more for trump -- and generation z is more for trumpay some sound and this is from the super bowl topic but i think it is interesting because it goes to the young people thing, or donald trump was talking about paper straws versus plastic straws and guess which one is in and guess which one is out? watch. >> as you have consistently identified nobody really likes paper straws. >> president donald trump: these things don't work, i've said it many times, on occasion they break, they explode, we are going back to plastic straws, it's okay. >> trace: it seems like it's this nominal, innocuous little signing but a few years ago the people in your generation would have thrown a fit, and they would be out protesting this kind of stuff. >> you go places, i'm paying like $12 for a latte, i get a paper straw, it taste like paper and on top of that you're telling me the compass plastic? the lettuce plastic? were you are worried about the straw, it's ridiculous. >> trace: this is a "usa today" p is, and it reads as follows, -- this is a "usa today"

trump. they're willing to go after people. they wanted to kill mike pence. so if you're the senator who stops rfk or you're the republican senator, that fourth one who, you know, stops tulsi gabbard, you have to do that. you have to be willing to do that. accepting the idea that you or your family could suffer physical violence because of that. and that is a condition that never before existed in the united states senate. >> yeah, i've been thinking, lawrence, i talked about this a little bit in the a block tonight about the different types of harms, right, than the different sort of different categories of harms. like you have things that are bad outcomes and you have things that show corruption and self-dealing. but there is this third category of things which is may not feel initially as painful, but it's more injurious to us as a country, and it's more urgent for us to respond to as a country if we're going to hold on to our democracy. because in that third category of things, it is stuf

ask melania trump. ask any one of donald trump's wives how you increase your net worth without earning the money. but detective musk, on the basis of absolutely nothing, firmly believes that that mythical government worker who i promise you, does not exist and will never be found to exist is, quote, getting wealthy at the taxpayer's expense. that's the detective solving the crime. and that is the way detective musk solves the crime. he just guesses. watch what happened when elon musk began speaking. i'm going to put this on the screen, full screen, not because it matters what elon musk was saying, but because it reveals the essence of donald trump and it reveals the power of elon musk. when the president speaks in the oval office, no one else does. except today, elon musk interrupted donald trump when donald trump was speaking, and elon musk's four year old child spoke while donald trump was speaking, and nothing could demonstrate the power of elon musk more than his child speaking while donald trump wa

of donald trump.a majority of the supreme court justices, including three he appointed, have faithfully done for donald trump, leaving him now possibly beyond the reach of any judges. donald trump's lawyers fighting all of the restraining orders that judges have imposed on the trump administration in the last week, are now studying the applications of the supreme court's decision to grant donald trump immunity from criminal charges last year. trump lawyers are now studying every word of that decision, which created a new doctrine of presidential immunity that did not exist in the constitution, to find how it applies in civil cases brought by opponents of donald trump and elon musk's mass firings of government workers, and complete shutdown of a congressionally created agency. the other campaign donald trump has been on since the first year of his presidency, is a campaign to delegitimize criminal investigations. since donald trump became the subject of a criminal investigation by special special couns

trump.o met with terrorist attack victims and first respondent on the field, the nfl posted a picture for the first time ever. and in the suite here he is with the commissioner, probably complaining about the new kickoff rule. ivanka and eric were also there, there's the prince of monaco. prime time could not understand what the prince of monaco is doing there at the super bowl but we will find out and we put the whole team on eight. this is how trump thought the game was going to go... >> you are a football fan, size of these two teams. >> president trump: i am a big fan of both teams, philadelphia has one of the greatest running backs, he had an uncle who was a great fighter, and say have a great running back. you have a really great quarterback. the other team, he is a great, a great quarterback. >> at game prediction? >> president trump: i guess you have to say when a quarterback wins as much as he has, i have to go with kansas city. at the same time, philadelphia has a fantastic -- it'l

it became a trump thing. i think tick tack, i think joe rogan was part of it, some of the great people i did interviews with were a part of it. but i think that take tack -- tiktok was a was a big part of it. as you know we were up by 36% with youth. republicans was never up with youth. i focused on tiktok. i found it to be amazed -- amazing and very fair. i think the image of tiktok is different than it was before the election. people saw it, they view it as a positive, not a negative. i think it'll be to china's advantage to have the deal be made. reporter: how much money do you think you'll raise from tariffs on an annual way sis? pres. trump: that's the most interesting question. i think it'll be a staggering amount. it'll be the -- i call it the external revenue service. that was the name devised by a few of us. i think it's going to be a staggering amount. reporter: the number one trillion was floated in meetings. pres. trump: already the senate is say, they're looking at the numbers and saying whoa. th

and i wonder from on the politics in your view, do does trump do trump and musk have it right on what voters, or at least a majority of voters want to see? >> look, i mean, i think, jim, if you think about democrats, republicans, independents, most people want an efficient government. but it's not about cutting and slashing and burning. it's about efficiency. it's about services that people feel like they need to receive a little bit more directly. and so i don't think the politics of this is going to work out well for trump only because when he got to dc, i think people were hoping that he would cut costs for them personally. it wasn't about cutting the government costs. it's about personal costs. inflation is still way too high. job numbers are going down. you guys saw these job numbers just yesterday. and so i don't think people really care about this government slash and cut that he's doing. they care more about their egg prices their housing prices. they care more about the child care prices. and so i think once that starts to hit the ground in a couple of weeks, then people will

trump: thank you, everybody. we have a lot of big signings, one in particular i will save until the end. we can go over these officially and see how we do. -- individually and see how we do. >> we have 56 sub cabinet level appointments. this includes, most notably, seven ambassador appointments. those will be the first ambassadors, i believe, that you have transmitted to the senate. pres. trump: they are very good. ok. >> thank you, sir. second, we have active designations. we are designating doug collins to be the active leader of both the office of special counsel and the office of government ethics. impiety you know doug, everybody, i think. -- pres. trump: you know doug, everybody, i think. he was in charge of the impeachment hearings that i won conclusively. >> next, the federal executive institute was a program set up during the johnson administration to train senior-level government bureaucrats, as you have it in a fight repeatedly the last few years, the senior levels -- as you have identified repeatedly

lawsuit that trump filed after january 6th.ost all of that staggering sum going toward the future trump presidential library. and abc settled a trump lawsuit against the network and star anchor george steph mop louse who repeatedly said candidate trump had been found liable for rape when the verdict in the civil defamation suit was that it was sexual abuse. and a decision made a by disney chair bob iger, abc agreed to pay trump $16 million. now, does all this litigation send an intimidating message to media organizations about challenging trump? of course. maybe journalists need to think about why some of these cases look so so bad. i'm howard kurtz and this is "mediabuzz." ♪ howard: when the president moved quickly to impose 25% tariffs on canada and mexico, the media reaction cutting across party lines was divided. >> it has been a humiliating 48 hours for president trump on this tariff issue. as soon as he announced these inexplicable tariffs on canada and mexico, the stock market fell through the floor. >> this has been for

that trump and mr.re going to find a solution for all of us, and that would be a deadly trap. nick: germany. >> it is regrettable, and i say this myself, but as part of the truth, the trump administration has already made public concessions to putin before negotiations have even begun. nick: the u.s.' nato allies demanded that nato fulfill its 2024 promise that ukraine's future membership is -- quote -- "irreversible" and ukraine and europe be part of any negotiation. kaja kallas is the european union's top diplomat. >> it is clear that any deal behind our backs will not work. any agreement will need also ukraine and europe being part of it, and this is clear, that appeasement also always, always fails. nick: that appeared to be criticism of secretary of defense pete hegseth's statement yesterday. pete hegseth, u.s. defense secretary: the united states does not believe that nato membership for ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement. nick: today, hegseth tried to walk that back. sec. h

[singing] [singing] >> here is idiotic senator from connecticut chris murphy wanting to fake news cnn the death of democracy, all because donald trump, elon musk and doge are criticizing waste, fraud, abuse, corruption and criticizing judicial overreach because what they can't do at the ballot box, what they can't do legislatively, and they run too far left activist judges. take a look. >> as we look at the developments that are happe

of the trump presidency. and we do not have an answer for it. but we are just seeing, i mean, as fast as this action is coming, as fast as the president is intentionally trying to flood the zone, the the illegal rulings and the legal opinions are also coming in, but in real time. it is unclear exactly if they will all be treated the same. if the messages from jd vance were speaking for the administration there, it is unclear. the president has not specifically said exactly what his instructions are for his team, but we certainly know he dismissed some of the judge's rulings yesterday when he was talking with the reporters. he was not asked about it this evening when he was signing a raft of executive orders. but it is clear just what this the white house is doing across the government. as we enter only the fourth week of this new presidency. here we see sort of where this is going. but in terms of what this administration intends to do, if it will, a disregard rulings. we don't know the answer to that. but th

also, i think what we're seeing from donald trump is donald trump is simply miss reading the facts on so many issues suggesting that canada's deficit with the united states makes the united states weaker. when we know the numbers that he continues to spout $2250000000000.00 deficit for the united states is more like $40000000000.00. and when you take out the oil exports from canada, united states actually has a surplus. and so while donald trump does have this, what the zone strategy, i think what we're seeing, even with that strategy while it is certainly causing tremendous chaos and confusion and making it very difficult for the price to follow along. we're already beginning to see the limits as we are saying now, judges are actually repealed like many of these executive orders and costs. so now with the number of demonstrations and the push backs, we're seeing just how potentially weak donald trump couldn't be, at least on the legislative front. where of course, that's where you make a long term actually long term policies to actually fulfill your legacy. and right now donald trump

and donald trump's new u. s. government has radically realigned the political system of united states and the impact is immediate. 1000000000 that you know mosque plays a central role in this of the loan musk, richest man in the world. the close confidence of us president trump, the now also head of a newly established government agency, called the departments of government efficiency. the search for shows must contest tv from us to radically downsize the states out the process and make it more efficient. some of the things that we found which are shocking, billions and billions of dollars and waste fraud and abuse. and i think it's very important and that's one of the reasons i got less of herndon suspect up from this, primarily concerned with the political restructuring of the state temper upsets. they criticized the fact that musk and his team on maine, the acting against the authorities, that don't in line with the trump. another critique must ex employees have access to sensitive c r a day. so used by fin

namaste, trump. and you know, so there's an interpersonal that he forged through his first administration. and you saw that up close and personal, courtney. and that namaste trump trip. how do you think that will influence their negotiations next week when modi is here for these three days? that's why you're seeing all of these foreign leaders sort to come to washington and get in a room with him. right? it's it's about convincing him of your worldview, you know, convincing him that, you know, whatever their agenda or motives are make sense within, you know, donald trump's foreign policy view. ministerjump at the chance to come here as soon as possible. um, and really lean into that, that bromance. at the the inauguration in the capital. um, jaishankarand he said at the time, after coming back, that he sees donald trump as an american nationalist, are so close and probably because of that relationship as you're describing. but, you know, a broader view in the region as this threat and could be hit by

trump and putin are about to meet. trump says they've agreed to visit, quote, each other's nations. putin hasn't been to the united states in a decade. they're planning to first sit down to be in saudi arabia. now, you might be looking at all this and perhaps scratching your head because where is he? volodymyr zelenskyy, remember him? he actually is the president of ukraine. but what happened was trump said he would call to inform zelenskyy about the call with putin today. they spoke afterwards. and it seems from what we have heard from trump, his secretary of defense today, that zelenskyy is not getting what he's been fighting for. he's not getting all the land back that russia seized, certainly not getting an invitation to join nato. they were very clear about that. but trump is giving putin some of what he wants, and that doesn't come out of the blue. it's not just in the context of right now land in ukraine. it's over years, trump has had glowing things to say about putin. >> i also have a very good relationship, as you know, with president putin. i knew putin very well. i got a

is they go bad for trump? i think you'll see is popularity decline pretty fast and, and they'll be rebellions. i think the media is a very important guard. real united states are important and these things will happen. i mean it's a democracy and trump is a challenge to it. but this, the other american presidents, like uh, franklin roosevelt who grabbed me to grab for power in the courts, came back and i'm optimistic that that trump will be limits on trump. and we'll see those in one other thing. i. inflation is a big issue in the states right now today, and trump promised to roll back inflation is already failing at that. and that's, it's not gonna take long for americans to be really annoyed by the price of eggs and gasoline. your show that up to me is to a certain extent, i think it's largely depends on the policies that are taking place. what is the impact on the american public? you know, the tariff policy at the moment, almost all analyses that you see about this part about this policy is we're going to

trump.gather that you nominated donald trump for the 2025 nobel peace prize, is that right? any regrets on that? >> absolutely right. one of the reasons why i did this, because mr. trump, during his first term in office, he became the first american president to provide ukraine with lethal weapons. it helped us in the first days after the full-scale invasion of russia, it helped us to repel russian attacks and to save kyiv. there is also another motive behind my decision. it is a gesture of hope that president trump can do a lot to bring just peace to ukraine. but i just peace, i don't mean appeasement, territorial concessions at the expense of ukraine. i mean peace firmly based on international law of the territorial integrity of ukraine, respect for sovereignty of ukraine. geeta: if there is no guarantee of nato membership in the future, or if that was to be ruled out, if the current land is being occupied by the russian forces was to be where the dividing line was, if there was to be euro

because while there may be the ability to deal with trump even to maneuver with trump on individual issues. you know, we've talked about tariffs, for example. we've talked about ukraine, for example, on other issues. there is not room to live with. trump right now is real cause that is one of them. but more importantly is the context. so that beyond trump, you have to talk about what is the state of the system. here we need to be open and clear what is being carried out right now in the most serious threat to the united states and he's talking to 18. 65 is an attempt by donald trump and his allies, including people likes even more, including people like you on most to break the us system. entire agencies like usa id suddenly swapped aside the records of other agencies from the treasury being stolen, even the records of dependent on being at risk. the prospect of the head of american national intelligence being someone who has been sympathetic to people want to shortlist out in syria, why we're putting in russia. you can choose donald trump, or you can choose the u. s. system in the long te

trump has put him at the va. dave weldon lost a rate for state legislator, lost a race for state legislator in florida. trump has now named him to lead the cdc. dan bishop lost the attorney general's race in north carolina this past year. trump has made him the number two official at omb. bo hines just lost a congressional race in north carolina, so trump put him on his new crypto board. joe kent has lost two consecutive races for congress in washington state. trump just named him head of the national counterterrorism center. you're noticing a theme here. i mean, i could go on, but are you noticing a theme? i mean, people keep saying no one elected elon musk, and that is definitely true. but, you know, at least in his case, he didn't try he didn't run for something and have the people resoundingly say, no, we don't want you. we'd prefer someone else and not you. and so you will lose this race. but in this second term, they really are stuffing the whole administration with people who have not, just once upon a tim

is trump trolling the trolls?in with the senior national correspondent kevin with more on the woes of trump foes. >> reporter: what a few months a difference can make. obviously failed by you know father time. and yet by staying on the job as long as he did, some have argued that biden made the country less stable on the global stage endangering the west in general and the u.s. in particular. now compare and contrast that to an active president trump who despite his age, has shown incredible vigour and a striking amount of policy focus that really seems to be reshaping the world's geopolitical balance. also consider this, just since reclaiming office, trump has managed to get canada and mexico to make tariff concessions, put lots of people on the border. he's gotten colombia to accept its own criminal aliens. also been possible for the president to help this administration recover hostages from hamas, russia, belarus, even venezuela. he's also managed to get the eu to offer drastically lower u.s. auto tariffs and

trump: who? >> we are going to meet the first responders today, but you parted people who assaulted first responders. pres. trump: i parted people who were assaulted themselves. i parted jay six people who were assaulted by our government. they were treated unfairly. there has never been a group of people in this country, outside of maybe one instance i can think of, but i won't get into it, that were treated more horribly than the people of j6. so i did not assault, they did not assault, they were assaulted. what i did was a great thing for humanity. they were treated fairly, fairly unfairly. there has never been anything like it. >> on putin again, you realize if you don't clarify that, everyone will assume you're talking to president putin regularly? pres. trump: it makes sense. i don't want to talk about it. and if we are talking to my don't want to tell you about the conversations. but i do believe we are making progress could we want to stop the ukraine-russia war. i hate to see these young

the trump love. and if these things really look like a takeover, like some people in europe are worried, the hospital take over. it's gonna, it's going to, there's going to be a whiplash, and crumpled will feel that and the next elections is popular where you go down. so i'm optimistic, i believe the constitution is still working. i believe the checks and balances are working. and i think the media is a very important check on things that trump are doing. and we're reading in detail about all these things that are going on. it's not like it's happening in in secret . i mean, um, and, and mosque is admitted. he's made mistakes and he's going to correct them so it's only been 3 weeks. i think we should give him given at least a 100 days. but at the same time, we see the administration and you get out of course administration's relationship to media can be frosty at times. we've also seen that in the bind, however, this administration is openly threatening journalist is removing journal this. they don't

so he's many trump to all these democrats. they don't like trump, they don't like many trump. put them together they don't like trump musk. i think charlie hit the nail on the head. he is transitioning the government. we are getting rid of things that never should have been created in the first place. things that once they got created just spread on their own like wildfire. we were all told there's nothing you can do about it. along comes trump and musk and says you better believe there's something we're going to do about it and we are watching it. >> republicans have talked about limited government and cutting waste, fraud, and abuse for decades. this is there one shot to do it. they've got to take advantage of it. when we come back the left continues to meltdown... exposing all this waste, fraud and abuse of your money and all the corruption. we will check in with karoline leavitt straight ahead as we continue. has been by your side. ontario, canada, a partner connected by shared history, shared values, and a shared vision for what we can achieve together. stable and secure,

i love what trump is doing. he's in there a month and has done so much on all these issues that are so important. the border, taking care of the wars. in terms of ukraine war, i feel the solution would be to have russia keep the land they have occupied but have the ability for ukraine to join nato. i know pete hegseth says it can't be done but that's the solution. if ukraine was part of nato, that would an attack from russia and stabilize the area. host: you think russia would accept that? that is kind of a red line for them. caller: it is a red line but they could keep the land they have occupied. it is a win-win for both countries. that would stabilize the area. russia would not be able to go into ukraine because the nato countries would defend him. host: we have got on the screen the ukraine and area we are talking about. russia controls all the area in pink. there is a sliver of land in russia in the kursk region the ukrainians are controlling at this point. do you think they should be allowed to keep that?

donald j trump.ans who sensed they were weaker and poorer than they once had been. he launched a roller—coaster ride of a kind that americans had never seen before. by 2020, he seemed finished, and, out of office, was lucky to avoid a jail sentence. but the feebleness of presidentjoe biden seemed, if anything, worse than the chaos of the trump administration. within months of taking office, biden went ahead with the doubtful agreement donald trump had made with the taliban over afghanistan, and the taliban came pouring into kabul. americans decided that donald trump would be more effective than either joe biden or kamala harris, and he returned last november as the clear outright winner. he might be the oldest us president ever inaugurated, but his energetic, upbeat performances won praise around the world. the golden age of america begins right now. cheering and although europe and the older democracies have remained largely hostile to him, opinion polls show there's clear admiration among people in

in the case of president trump, a lot of uncertainty here but president trump is talking about broadboard. and the second thing is the uncertainty. think about all the switches and changes, this and that tariffs, it is on-again and off-again. businesses are getting dizzy with all of that. how can you make a hiring decision if you don't know what the tariffs will be? the other important point in terms of the uncertainty, these are being done under executive order. it is not congress voting and saying we want to do this. it is the president imposing them. to find a businessperson seeing that i know that the tariffs can go away with another executive order and certainly the next president could change them. so if that is the case, i am just not going to make an investment because i do not know what the tariffs are going to be or what they are going to mean. amna: mark zandi, good to speak with you. mark: thank you. ♪ geoff: new insight tonight into a group of voters that helped swing the 2024 presidential race. those that voted for democrats in prior elections but for donald trump this
