the biggest thing to expect from the second trump administration overall is it's going to be nothing like the first in i think a lot of potentially good ways for republicans and maybe some bad ones, some more challenging ones. trump is coming into office now in a totally different moment, political moment, historical moment and his second trump administration has totally different goals than the first one though we heard a lot of the same rhetoric about making america great again and close the border, a lot of the same rhetorics and same hats and the goals of the second administration are totally different. and trump just won a completely different victory which will put him in the white house on a completely different footing and he won all seven battleground states that were up for grabs. he's only the second -- the first republican president to win a popular vote victory since 1988 and is really important because it confers so much more legitimacy on his presidency that just didn't exist in 2016 when a lot of democrats regarded his victory as an aberration they didn't need to take

coming up investigations for the washington examiner talks about what to expect from their trump administration policy changes how the republican party is change under donald trump. for conservative women this is just under an hour. [background noises] [inaudible conversations] >> good afternoon everyone. welcome to the booth the center for our first conservative women's network event of the year. we are thrilled to have so many friends here in the audience with us and also at home. we would like to extend a huge thank you to c-span for covering this event live. before we dive into today's discussion i like to take a moment to highlight some of the exciting way we will be reaching young women across the country in the coming weeks. in 20 days in california alicia krause will be speaking at students at viola university on how modern-day feminism as anti- women. that campus lectures being hosted by a remarkable young woman who interned here at the boothe center last summer. then, an arizona college grand canyon university will participate where they will receive firearms training to help them bet

adam, how would you describe the relationship between technology and the incoming trump administrationa lot has changed in the last four years with the rhetoric out of silicon valley, more pro-trump than it ever has been. adam: you have to factor in two things. one, a lot of unhappiness with how the biden administration has targeted tech and seen it as an industry to trash rather than champion. frankly, i think there's a lot of frustration from people in silicon valley who are not necessarily trump supporters or even right-leaning, but there has been a lot of frustration that the administration hasn't championed the country's biggest export. and in terms of what worked and what didn't in terms of how to deal with him a look -- deal with him and work with him, a lot of tech ceos are turning to tim cook, who probably managed the first trump administration the best and a lot of that was direct contact between the ceo in trump himself. as you said, that's not something that can be easily designated to a deputy. trump really cares about meeting with ceos and that kind of meeting often works

but okay, you know, that's just one senior trump administration official. bill barr doesn't have that much credibility with any, any, any group of americans at this point in our political moment in america, we've set aside bill barr. what about other trump appointees who worked with kash patel? well, trump's deputy national security adviser, who worked closely with kash patel. he had this to say, quote, he's absolutely unqualified for fbi director. he is untrustworthy. it is an absolute disgrace to american citizens to even consider an individual of this nature. that's trump's deputy national security adviser. and this he's untrustworthy. this is kind of a theme in descriptions of kash patel from people specifically who worked with him in the first trump term. several former trump officials say that kash patel had a tendency to embellish, to mislead. i think the word you're looking for here is lie about important stuff. john bolton, who you just saw on this evening with jen psaki here on msnbc, he was trump's national security adviser. so therefore effective

do ou new trump administration.nd the us right now, trade tensions between the uk and china are not in the same place. for uk and china are not in the same pl. services, which is an financial services, which is an area of strength for the uk, and they look to co—operate where they can, is what they say. despite getting quite a lot of criticism, not only about bit the uk bond market is in a bit of turmoil but also faced with those allegations around the hacking and spying and various things. i think they are trying to carve out a niche in financial services. to carve out a niche in financialservices. remember, financial services. remember, we have financialservices. remember, we have got one of the we have got hsbc, one of the biggest banks that has got a lot of interest in china. it is going to be quite difficult to resist the pressure from the new trump administration. [30 new trump administration. do ou new trump administration. do you think it will help that, unlike the eu and the us right now, trade tensions bet

we are talking economic policies during the second trump administration. llie improve the economy? caller: -- will he improve the economy? caller: yes, he will. when biden came in, he got rid of all of trump's directives, and he started to peel production back. and brandon recalls a little bit ago was talking about being a diesel mechanic, i was a farmer for 40 years, and there's a lot of time when we don't make any money. a lot of that is because of diesel fuel because it ruins everything. that is the way you cut prices for everything. and this morning, bernie sanders said on tv that we need to give people housing and a salary. we have tried that in the past. we did it with the world poverty and spent $83,000. we completely destroyed the black family in the all projects, and it made drug addiction a lot worse. host: can i jump in and ask about the president-elect split to service treasury secretary, scott bessent. were you able to watch any of his confirmation hearing yesterday? caller: no, i watched a little bit on what you are showing with the clips on i

this is something that the trump administration has said. according to a senior administration official, you know, on sunday there were 1200 arrests or so around the country. however, roughly half of them were undocumented immigrants without prior criminal records. besides being in the country illegally, which is a civil is a civil offense. so that is significant, jose, because we keep hearing that the priority is national security. threats are people with criminal histories, but we now see the potential for so-called collateral arrests. and when we spoke with ice agents yesterday, they did tell us to expect that essentially collateral arrests being people that are found nearby, one of their targets, who also happened to be undocumented and are also arrested as well. now, with the immigrant who we saw arrested, he said that he had a five year old daughter. he denied the charges against him, even though ice confirmed his criminal history. but he said he had a five year old daughter. he had lived here most of his life. and i asked one of the i

the trump administration, next trump administration reinveigh reinvigorate and bring them down in any way they can or better than that, even better than government price setting at getting prices down, reinvigorate another executive order regarding importation. importing drugs from other countries, in other words, freeing consumers in the united states and insurance companies to exercise their fundamental human right to trade with other countries doing that would do more to spark price competition the and reduce drug prices in the united states than government price setting would. unfortunately those efforts toward drug importation were anemic and got stalled in the courts but the trump administration could reinvigorate that. and finally the trump administration did have a number of good executive order -- one executive order that led to a number of good rule changes including rules that the added consumer protections to so-called short-term limited duration, these are plans exempt from federal -- health insurance regulation and as a result are able to provide coverage with broader pr

administration. another conflict donald trump i administration. aid administration. another - conflict donald trump said he would sort out either before getting into office all within a day of it happening, is ukraine. and we have not seen anything happening yet with that. ukraine obviously fears the loss of military support, financial support from the united states. what is in store for that part of the world? i think president trump has revised his timescale and talked about a period of several months, perhaps six, to get a deal there. the party that needs most persuading to have a ceasefire in ukraine is not ukraine, but the russian government. on the ground, russian forces continue albeit at great cost and rather slowly, they continue to advance and take new ukrainian settlements and towns. it is an alarming trend. i think the conversation between president trump and vladimir putin, which people are now talking about happening in the next weeks will be absolutely critical, which is the trump administration prepared to put pressure on vladimir p

honestly the reality is that the trump administration has the right. president trump was elected president and he does get to set the policy of our government within certain legal constraints. and these are choices he can make. i want to focus on the how. and the fact that the how is actually wasteful of public assets and hurtful of real people. what i say that what i mean is the civil servants working in deia spaces were following the prior administration's priorities. president biden said this was a priority for himself and his administration. in the civil servants did what they are supposed to do, so follow the lawful policy directions of duly elected leaders. they should not be punished for doing their job in the way they are supposed to do it. and you have president trump's administration arguing that civil servants are not following the policy views of the elected leaders. the reality is that they did. they should not be punished for it. it is again president trump's prerogative to choose a different direction. but immediately shutting down the o

host: your reaction to what you heard about fossil fuel and the production of that, and this trump administration's all of the above strategy nuclear power, etc. >> u.s. oil production is at record levels and the real question is where does that go? in order to try and push that further and the administration has talked about potentially trying to lease more land, which takes time. they have talked about increasing exports of natural gas, actually take some of that gas from the united states and put it overseas. they have talked about repealing the investments in clean energy. it is not clear to me that the total energy supply will increase based on those policies. we will see how they put it together. host: let us get a response. will the energy supply increase as -- as you had concern that it will not. guest: it will. when we look back in history the world has not used less energy, only more. while we can transition to efficient resources we are still going to need a lot of energy. 2024 coal usage was highest in the planet's history. and the question is how can we responsibly reduce the fuel that

and right now, is it please and knowledge they, anyone in the trump administration? do you think is looking at this issue strategically has pick for deputy secretary of state, for example, kristof alondo, he's long argued that working with other countries to start with what he calls such migratory flows, that they must be a global imperative for u. s. foreign policy, but do such spots, do they make working together more difficult? and i think that there are people who in the truck administration look at this issue strategically, they just have a different strategy from the one that you're just i tried. i mean, there are people like steve and miller, for example, a very senior, pretty close age to donald trump, who has an extremely hawkish position on immigration, on how it's done for years and years and years of the strategy. so far as he is concerned is to you essentially come as close to your time as close to closing the border or with the exception of legal immigration that helps the united states economy directly. so there is a separate argument to be made, of co

a big difference between the trump administration and the biden administration have been their rhetoric towards u.s. allies. i have even seen obviously, donald trump talk about tariffs. we have seen threats to annex canada. is there a risk that his style, his approach, undermines the global relationships that the u.s. needs here when it comes to ai and national security? >> all i can tell you is, we have four years of prior experience and there is lots of fear, but i don't think any of that actually played out. i'll bet on the u.s. all day long. in my opinion, as long as we don't ruin it, this will happen here in the united states. the most important thing is the house on the senate don't get in the way of this we put the appropriate guardrails out, and i will bet on the u.s. leadership and innovation every day, all day long, as long as we don't ruin it. >> we are running out of time. i want to get one more question, and i will start with you on this because i want the industry perspective. there is an expectation that the trump administration will defend american tech companies on the

i'm not necessarily clear on where the trump administration stands for the future of gaza. what happens at the end of of those six weeks, the biden administration has been very firm. about the day after plans and wanting to come up with a palestinian government that could that could run the gaza strip, um, to rejuvenate the palestinian authority. you heard secretary blinken in just a moment ago saying that it is important for the israeli troops to pull out of the gaza strip. that's always been the biden administration's position. is that the same in the trump administration? and we've been talking about how firm, um, hamas has been, how reluctant they have been to agree to a deal. and that's in part because also netanyahu and his government have been moving the goalposts at different times, saying, we want to remain in the gaza strip. we're going to stay in that philadelphi corridor along the border between between gaza and egypt. so this has been a very, very tough negotiation. and once these negotiations for phase two get underway during the trump administration, i think i

without a shred of warning the trump administration announced a halt to virtually all federal funds across the country. in an instant donald trump has shut off billions, perhaps trillions of dollars that directly support states, cities, towns, schools, hospitals, small businesses, and most of all american families. it is a dagger at the heart of the average american family in red states, in blue states, in cities, in suburbs, in rural areas. it is just outrageous. funds for things like disaster assistance, local law enforcement, hospitals, aid to the elderly, food for people in need, all are on the chopping block in this new administration. why? they need tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. and these cuts, they think, will find them. everyone in our office has been daily from calls from people that are in panic. what is this going to mean? what if i have a hospital that has people on life-support? what are we going to do? just like the january 6 pardons, this decision is lawless, dangerous, destructive, cruel. it is illegal. it is unconstitutional. i spoke to my attorney general this morning.

i might be reconsidered by the trump administration?istration? i was at the state department for a - trump administration? i was at the state department for a fewj the state department for a few years. i know that transitions take time. you need to get secretary rubio and his team in place. i do hope as they think through the implications of this, they are sweeping. it's emergency assistance to maternal clinics for the clean water for infants. maternal clinics for the clean waterfor infants. support maternal clinics for the clean water for infants. support for refugees who are here in the us, including the afghan allies. i do hope rubio will change course.— allies. i do hope rubio will change course. krish o'mara vignarajah, president - change course. krish o'mara vignarajah, president and i change course. krish o'mara i vignarajah, president and ceo of global refuge, thank you. the trump administration says — it issued the change in refguee policy because the entry of additional refugees would be detrimental to the interests of the uni

but after you turn over information to the trump administration, what are they going to do with it well, look, that's president trump's decision, not mine. >> but we stand at the ready to help him fulfill his campaign promise. and reality is we've seen the left wing media lost their mind about separation of family. and i know a lot of that was embellished years ago. but it's so important for the trump administration to have the data. where are the families, where are they located and when they're making these decisions? i know that they want to keep the families intact. this helps them understand where the families are, where the kids are, and so they can continue to fulfill that. but look, we've got to put oklahoma and american citizens first. they're kids. we've got to make sure resources are allocated appropriately. and look, we've had a record amount of fentanyl in our schools. we literally had a migrant arrested on domestic terrorism charges last year in one of our schools. we've got to make sure this information is readily available for law enforcement. and we applaud president tr

but what is interesting is the way that tech leaders have come in behind the trump administration. as we mentioned, the vast majority of them contributed substantially to his campaign and to the innovation events. so that has been advice of shift within the tech community towards donald trump. the one area in which to look at where they might be docs to be connected is of course with regard to crypto, given that the trunk family is connected to tip to uh, production and a company that will be producing it. so any move that was said, crypto techs who are close or have given donations to the trump campaign, is something that would be looked at closely. like i would ask you if you cover the 1st trump administration, i wonder if you're seeing detecting feeling at this very early stage differences in how his team is going about business at the moment as well. it was clear within a week of his election that things were going to be very different this time around . i mentioned that because within that week he basically nominated every member of his cabinet. now, previously in the last to a

a discussion on bordr policy and immigration policy under the trump administration in two guests joining us. we are joined by chad wolf the former acting homeland security director from trump in 2020-2021. also joining us in studio is keri talbot with immigration hub, the director. thank you for joining us. a little bit about your various organization, mr. wolf, your time, the america first policy institute, what is it and what do you do there? guest: we are a 501(c)(3) created at the end of the first trump administration and we have 20 different policy centers so we advocate for america first policies, education, health care, national security and homeland security and we have been doing that and will continue to do that. host: same question, your organization. guest 2.: we are a network of organization that focuses on sensible, humane and fair immigration policy. host: what did we learn about the trump administration's sense of policy from the first date yesterday? host 1.: the breadth of the orders pretty much a constitute a zero immigration into america and that is not good for how m

so this is clearly a situation where the trump administration, president trump, want americans to see what they are doing as they undertake carrying out what was, let's be honest, a campaign promise from donald trump. one of the things we're reporting here at cnn this morning is that many of these officials conducting these raids have been told to basically dress for the cameras, right. so here's the reporting. multiple federal agents assisting u.s. immigration officials with raids directed by the trump administration have been told to ensure their clothing clearly depicts their respective agency in case they're filmed by members of the media. sources tell cnn while it's common safety practice for agents conducting arrests to wear insignia, clearly identifying themselves as law enforcement, even agents on the perimeter of operations conducted across the nation have been specifically instructed by their leadership to wear raid jackets to generate possible media attention, sources said. so how do you understand how this is different from what had previously been going on under the biden

i hairs of that trump administration. ~ , ., , administration.ple will be surprised _ administration. i think people will be surprised there - administration. i think people will be surprised there won'tl will be surprised there won't tariffs on day one of his administration, particularly given his rhetoric on the campaign trail but late in the evening, in the oval office, as he was signing a flurry of executive orders, he was asked about this byjournalists and said he was considering 25% tariffs on canada and mexico starting on the 1st of february. we are used to this kind of sabre rattling from jump. he said before for example that there would be tariffs from day one and we haven't seen them. —— sabre rattling from trump. it was part of his approach and what is fascinating is that this is a second trump administration and world leaders in some cases are becoming more familiar web trump's playbook so if you look at comments from president justin trudeau today, he said, donald trump likes to keep the people he is negotiating with off balance and

call now and we'll come to you. >> 808 two one 4000. >> the trump administration is set to offer buyoutsworkers who do not want to return to work in the office. trump ordered federal workers to return to in-person work. many have had flexible work arrangements since the covid pandemic. a trump administration official tells cnn that workers who accept the buyout will need to quit by february 6th, and they will get severance pay through september. in our sports lead, the remarkable human feat deserving of this roaring crowd cheer, that's kim caldwell, head coach of the lady volunteers at university of tennessee. she was back on the sidelines as her team faced south carolina last night, just one week after caldwell gave birth to a baby boy and she had the flu. after the game, south carolina coach dawn staley said, quote, women have the strength of ten men. no doubt about it. the news continues on cnn with boris sanchez in for wolf blitzer right next door in a place i like to call the situation room. i'll see you

i also think though to orders under the third trump administration think about customer experience on that something you heard about earlier. that wouldn't main stay or maybe a different form customer experience we expect to still be an initiative under this administration. there was an executive order on skills based hiring. it's in the trump administration, the buy demonstration cap to print that work is still being done foror this a bill about to pass the house the idea of skills -based hiring getting rid of academic degrees as a qualifier for a job. i anticipate some of that may head towards the contractor workforce as well. we have heard some conversation on the hill with contract workforce. some of those things may come in the near term. cooks not a ton of budgetary policies goes under or you get a free pass. >> you're right we are tracking schedule f and the issue. in terms of day one we are trackingro on. >> is sort of skipped over the fact the congress has surpassed the continuing resolution this week. i think they are on track to do that. but, making sure we have additional

capitol, where the trump administration is moving ahead with pledges to end federal dea programs. c news reporter christiane cordero tells us the move means some federal employees no longer have work to report to proclamation. >> today, president trump is moving ahead with a slew of campaign promises, including removing diversity, equity and inclusion, or dei efforts in both the public and private sector. >> our country is going to be based on merit again. can you can you believe it? >> by the end of the day, all federal employees working on dei programs are to be furloughed with pay. the order makes public sector dei programs illegal and directs departments to pressure private companies by threatening to investigate ones that contract with the government. several big companies, including mcdonald's, walmart, ford and john deere abandoned their dei policies before trump took office. on immigration, u.s. officials today tell abc news 1000 to 1500 additional troops are expected to be sent to the u.s. mexico border. these will be in addition to the roughly 1500 currently there. a new

geoff: and he stands to be highly influential in a second trump administration. he wants to do in this role? laura: today, he tried to create some distance between his past comments, geoff, and what his think tank proposed versus donald trump's agenda. but vought stands to be highly influential and expand the budget office. specifically, he has talked about the fact that he believes the president can slash spending programs without congress. he has drafted plans to use military during times of civil unrest. he believes that the president can assert more control over the justice department. and vought also supports stripping federal workers of protections. and as for agencies' abilities to remain independent, vought has previously said that he wants to destroy any notion of independence across agencies. russell vought: we have to solve the woke and the weaponized bureaucracy and have the president take control of the executive branch. so my belief for anyone who wants to listen is that you have to the president has to move executively as fast and as aggressively a

we can expect an appeal from the trump administration. ect that they will continue to fight this legal battle all the way to the supreme court. what today's arguments did is they gave us a window into how this trump, how the trump administration is going to argue most of their arguments centered around the fact that they didn't want a nationwide ban and that they thought that the judge was out of his authority to do a ban on to enjoin the president. there wasn't much about why this order in itself was constitutional. and as we pointed out earlier, the judge had ever for decades on the bench, this judge is 85 years old, and that he had never seen anything as blatantly unconstitutional as this executive order, chris. >> well, we'll see if it eventually gets before the supreme court if they agree with that. julia ainsley, thank you for staying on top of this for us. still ahead. rebuked from the bench. federal judges reacting to donald trump's decision to pardon 1500 january 6th rioters. but first, breaking in just the last couple of minutes,

now, what is also important that there is enough, there is somebody from the trump administration here because one of the concerns was in the change of us administration. it was important that the incoming trump administration would continue to make sure that the c spot deal held and was implemented by the israelis. and by how much so that, that here is an indication that the american administration is going to continue to help and force that sci fi deal. if it is finally agreed. bernard smith, alger 0. so in gallons of palestinians who have enjoyed 15 months of violence, cautiously optimistic about a possible deal attainment at all. while i spoke to people there about the hopes for us these 5, this is what some of them had to say. yeah, not a problem. and the chelsea, although we're only good to hear about a ceasefire deal, we have deep concerns that many families, including mine will not be reunited. many children don't know where the parents are . most of us have not only lost all homes, businesses and loved ones. we've lost all life memories too. it will be very hard for old palest

not everything is in the hands of the trump administration.as violated every cease-fire ever reached between the organization and the state of israel. there was a cease-fire in effect on october 7, 2023, and a cease-fire in effect during the first hostage release a month later and hamas violated it. there is a limit to even what the trump administration can do. even israeli society, there will be tremendous pushback on the israeli government, including a governmental crisis. part of the israeli government broke with the coalition over this deal, which left the coalition with a razor thin majority in knesset. there are 120 members, you need 61 members to have a government. this government is at 62. other factions may leave the government and the second stage which would bring the government down and lead to elections. that then creates a situation where nobody knows the outcome. carl: there is another cease-fire that is in effect between israel and lebanon. we are hearing reports no that the prime minister -- now that the prime minister has sai

it was a slow start in this new trump administration. but they're now they're now at about 1000 a day. and that's their target. besides the difference in the numbers. john, what do you see as the biggest differences in approach between the two administrations so far? >> well, the biggest difference is clearly the targeting. this administration has lowered the threshold for when, you know, prior to one of these operations, a lot of work goes in behind the scenes. the agency is running records from the criminal justice system, probation and parole records, cross-referencing that against immigration databases to try to identify the targets. this is a tactic that was done throughout i.s.i.s. history, the obama administration and the biden administration included. but what happens is, when you're doing that, you set a threshold. what type of crime is a serious crime that we're going to prioritize? are we going to arrest what we call collaterals, individuals that we encounter when we're going after the criminal, who may not have any nexus to th

>> i think the trump administration is going to be pro growth.to help consumers feel better. i think consumer confidence is a factor. and also for us as companies, deregulation will help us, hopefully, you know, there's a reduction of taxes, as well, that would help us operate more efficiently in the u.s. the u.s. a critical market for us. everything that happens in the u.s. impacts pepsico on a grand scale. >> where do you think deregulation will help? >> i think deregulation in general is good for business. we're having too many bottlenecks for expanding our business in some particular areas, from permitting to others. i think reporting is also an opportunity as we simplify our company. so we believe that deregulation will help us be a more efficient company. with that we can realize that money into other parts of the business. >> how is the consumer doing? you mentioned that you're hopeful that will boost confidence. growth has been pretty solid. how do you characterize state of the consumer right now? >> we're optimistic about the consumer in

the trump administration says those so-called sensitive areas thwart law enforcement and reversed the trump's first day in office. >> i want families to be assured that our schools are safe. stephanie: but administrators from chicago public schools said they won't coordinate with ice and agents could not enter the school without a criminal warrant. >> there is complete alignment here between our state, city and district and so there are laws to protect. stephanie: on friday, school officials at a southside elementary school refused to allow agents that they thought were with ice into the school. they turned out to be secret service officers, unrelated to immigration enforcement. school officials said fear of children being swept up in the dragnet drove the mistaken claim. lawrence benito is with the illinois coalition for immigrant and refugee rights. he says the illinois trust act and chicago's welcoming city ordinance currently prevent police from coordinating with ice on any civil immigration enforcement, but worries so-called sanctuary laws are under threat. >> we're asking people

they won them, and we are hopeful that the incoming trump administration will do the same thing. i will say i will be watching. the biden administration also built on the trump administration's willingness to litigate the first case challenging a vertical merger in decades while this case ultimately failed. it paved the way for the biden ftc and justice department to challenge a number of vertical mergers, including unwinding an acquisition that stopped a single company from controlling cutting edge cancer tests and preventing a major chip supplier just before the a.i. boom. we have talked a lot in this past election, if any of you noticed, about bringing down costs and how you can do it, and that is why i just want that to continue. i don't want it to just be talk. i want it to be action in every way possible, and to me, that means we're going to have to have strong enforcement of our antitrust laws. we are here together to say that this has always spanned politics, and that must continue. i'm looking forward to meeting the new nominee for the antitrust justice department positio

see no reason for tiktok or other companies to take actions in the next few days before the trump administrationon monday. we have laid out our position clearly and straightforwardly. actions to implement this law will fall to the next administration, so tiktok and other companies should take up any concerns with them. and we, of course, also have the news that meet the press moderator, kristen welker, talk to president elect trump, who said that he's likely going to give tiktok a 90 day reprieve from that ban. so that's sort of what we're hearing from the incoming administration. but the biden administration is stressing this is no longer something that we're going to be dealing with. it's going to be to the trump administration, alex, which means expect it to go dark on sunday, at least for a day. >> let me ask you quickly about presidential pardons if more are forthcoming. yamiche, when will we hear about that? >> well, it's going to have to be, of course, the next 48 hours, because that's the ticking time on this last administration, those last few hours of this administration, for the biden

hand this over with the best possible will and in the best possible shape to the incoming trump administrationpains to pay tribute to the trump transition team when it comes to the middle east envoy. and those involved to say they felt this had worked very well in a coordinated way. >> what more did he say about his time as secretary of state which we know since october 7, 2023, was really focused on this conflict? we know he was in the region several times. >> well, to start with, i have never sat in the state department press briefing and seen security officials have to be called income and you know, to see what happened there with two journalists, one who runs an online outlet and the other, independent units, one that really being dragged out of the room as they were calling him a war criminal, it gives you a sense of the deep division, not least within the administration's own democratic base that this particular issue has caused. mr. blinken is very aware of that and i think he has tried to be reflective in his press conferences and speeches over the last week or two, to say did we get e

it appears that the trump administration has always already taken that into consideration. what we've heard today is that the donald trump summit, least on voice, has been uh, ordered or decided to however you want to put it whether or not it was the is own felician, but whatever the case, donald trump's, the middle east on envoy will be staying in the region monitoring the ceasefire in a, in an attempt to ensure that it remains in effect. so it certainly appears that the trump administration has taken into consideration exactly the issue that you brought up, which would only be reasonable based on the history of these the entities involved . and it certainly appears that they're leaving their guy in the region to ensure discontinue, so a while, no one knows what can happen in the future. this certainly is a very contrasting position from the traditional presidents who would simply maybe negotiate something with it, with israel, and then walk away in a around allow is really leadership to back track. so it certainly appears that there has been comprehensive steps taken to ad

so it's not very clear with the sanctions, could be a leverage for the trump administration. indeed, what sanctions could still be applied off the whole raft, essentially imposed by the previous administration at the same time and as posting donald trump appearing to indicate that he has a very good relationship with vladimir putin, that he can use this relationship to get food in into the table for tools to in that ongoing conflict in the ukraine now trumpet stated throughout this campaign. and now again in this posting that if he had been president, then the war in ukraine would never have happened. no evidence or any backing up of that particular statement. however, at the same time, he is good and shingle brandishing his relationship with gluten as a way in which trusted with the former president joe biden at the time to be able to be for pop traits, with resources, established duty and software organizations. in some moment, while that's showing the houses there has drilled a hole that is live for us on the mexican border and city of tijuana. hi john. we've had on see from the me

government funding mechanism for quantum was passed during donald trump first administration. almost a year and a half ago. under biden, it has still not been reauthorized. we are hopeful that with trump coming back in it will be authorized to provide incremental funding to the quantum industry. caroline: there have been incremental and significant breakthroughs of light with quantum. the reason your shares have been up into the right sick -- to significantly has been at the announcement, for example, on the willow chip coming from google. how alan: what is called date model quantum computing, the approach pretty much everybody in the industry has taken, other than d wave, but error correction is critical. there is no evidence that without error correction yield you could ever do anything useful with a quantum computer. the willow announcement, basically for the first time, showed how ever correction could work on a quantum computer at an interesting scale. that was a very important advancement. caroline: why, then, do you think nvidia, that actually partners with google's quan

the immigration system under the trump administration led to a disaster. ultimately it took four years, but the biden administration improved things significantly from the end of the trump administration. mr. raskin: the new trump administration inherits a situation that's better in terms of unlawful crossings. what is going to be the effect of all of these executive orders at this point? it seems almost like they are calculated to produce more chaos. mr. bier: absolutely. he's trying to get rid of the legal channels by which people come into the country. he got into the refugee program day one. the parole processes that allow people to enter legally day one. he said we are not going to do any asylum even for people entering the country legally. if you do that what's the alternate? it's illegal immigration. as long as we have illegal immigration, it's going to be a major touch point politically. mr. raskin: let's say he actually turns the whole country into chaos by trying to deport 12 million people as he's promised. what would the economic effect of that

there may be a different faction within the administration that is more interested in making mr. trump into the chief legislature -- legislator, who can with things and get things through congress. how do you see the relationship between this new administration and congress playing out? >> that is a fantastic question. i would not say congress is superfluous. to take the devils advocate perspective here, i think in the last trump administration, we saw congress empowered in a lot of ways. they did not do it in big, bold ways. he took a big major executive push. we did deny him a lot of things. making some changes he would like in legislation. the president really worked on congressional republican terms in his first time around. so i don't know that they are superfluous. they will come under a greater challenge and a greater threat for sure. one thing that the president in the first term -- he really stretched the power of executive authority. he will test that again for sure, and maybe in ways that are even more bold and more dangerous than the first time around. and it will be up to
