trump administration. davis, as you know, from critics of the president, they are talking about the people who will be part of the biden cabinet expressing concern. slet me get to sally yate i certainly don't agree with everything she said that she is a very credible advocate. the minuted the fisa things went wrong there when you get into the michael flynn case. she has got a lot of credibility as basically an independent mind on a lot of these issues. i don't agree with everything that she said, but i think that she is a credible advocate as i look at the speakers tonight. what was your second question? >> in terms of who is going to be part of the biden cabinet. we are hearing that from critics of the democratic candidate. >> we don't know at this point and there will be a lot of scrambling. i think when obama got elected, he wanted to be a uniter, not a divider. but he had a democratic congress. democrats said, don't reach out to them. i think biden will have the same kind of issues. if he wants to raise taxes, he will be doing that with democratic votes probably on reconciliation in the senate. he's had a history of working across party lines.

trump administration. >>> let's check on the roadways. something on the bay bridge?'sd crash on this band has been taken up and it was a motorcycle crash. we do have traffic that was to be a little slow but things are getting much better now that the accidents are clear. if you have the luxury of waiting around, you might be able to get away from this big backup. this backup will take a wild to process through. if you can go into simpler scout later from oakland, that will probably be your best bet. also looking at oakland itself, it looks all right pick up your driving on westbound 24, that looks good, too. we have been watching the san mateo bridge and that commute is looking good with no major issues. san jose commute northbound 280 with traffic moving longer well. as you go up to highway 17. now let's talk about today's forecast. >>> the forecast is cooler even though some areas are to have some sun. a decent breeze or a roaring breeze. winds at 25-35 miles per hour. i think fairfield and cordele will win the top honors with 36- 40 miles per hour. thunderstorms in

-- taken up .s a payroll president trump has been pushing for this since before covid, and it makes it politically untenable for some in congress did what is your view on the administrationongress should proceed with a payroll tax? scott: the real test sits in the senate, because the senate is the place we get actually get this kind of discussion rationalized. my view on the payroll tax holiday is it would be stimulative for the economy and would probably add 2 million jobs to the economy. i am in favor of a period of payroll tax holiday which is voluntary on the part of participants, which in exchange for getting a holiday on the payment of payroll tax, they agree to extend that retirement age. when you look at the numbers on this based on the proposal i shared with bloomberg and others, this would free up $15 trillion to $20 trillion, which could see a large portion used to provide additional stimulus, extended unemployment benefits, stimulus a largeand even infrastructure program, like $3 trillion. a $3 trillion infrastructure program would not only help get the economy going again, but since state and local governments basically spend most of the infrastructure money

trump administration. i didn't see this coming, but in hindsight, it makes a lot of sense. the uae and the israel are the u.s.'ssest allies in the middle east. it sort of a friend of my friend but probably should be my friend kind of deal that's going to benefit all three countries. it is not going to benefit chyron. they are very upset about this. they feel even further boxed in. uae has been opposed and has been squabbling for many years. there is worries about its security being so close to iran. if this helps the uae in getting a relationship with a close u.s. ally. the most important part of this is not what it does for these three countries, but that it suspended the annexation of parts of west bank, which really posed to create significant people and violence in the middle east and would've set back the peace plan between the past aliens and israel. that is what is really historic about this. if you want to very quickly, i see you shaking your head about the iran peace. >> absolutely. the nuclear threat has been the key ingredient that is fundamentally recalculated every arab leaders view in the region t

s contrasts. the contrast is joe biden and president trump is significant. let's go down a couple of them right now. joe biden and the obama administration let isis grow, grow to the size geographically the size of great britain. they had abu al-baghdadi run it. they allowed syria to use chemical weapons. nerve gas against its citizens after they said very clearly that that was a red line that would not let the syrians cross as they went forward. you have a secretary of defense from the obama administration, secretary gates, say that in public and in his book that joe biden has been nearly wrong on every major national security decision in the last 40 years. i think that's true. when you look at what we have done, we reacted when as sad used nerve gas against its citizens. we reacted. this president eliminated the isis caliphate. killed al-baghdadi in an operation called operation kayla named after an american woman that he had killed, kayla mueller. he let the military grow significantly going forward. here's the one that is not really mentioned. this one is pretty important. when one of the most critical decisions made in the obama adm

trump administration. with us now is stewart baker. a former assistant secretary for policy at the department of homeland security. first of all, what do you make 'slaims, saying they could sue the president as soon as tomorrow. is it actually unconstitutional or is this well within the president's power? stewart: it is certainly within his statutory power. anyone can argue that they have binge -- they have been treated unfairly. all that is really required under the executive order is a determination that tiktok is from an adversary nation and is posing a risk to the national security of the united states or to the security of americans. tiktok has had a lot of problems handling data. it is subject to chinese law to a degree that makes it kind of hard for them to argue that none of those things were irrelevant. i am guessing that that lawsuit will make a lot of noise but probably does not prevail. as a: you have spent time general counsel at the nsa. you are the host of the weekly cyber law podcast. do you believe that tiktok is a security risk to the united states? stewart: it collects a lot of data, just like a lot of american companies do, alt
