this could be so magnificent. >> republican senators and close allies of trump's were questioned repeatedly today by reporters on trump's announcement, and they also had questions of their own during a meeting with trump's middle east envoy in the east room. after that meeting happened on capitol hill, i caught up with alabama senator tommy tuberville on it. what are your thoughts on on the president not ruling out sending u.s. forces to gaza? would you be okay with that? >> well. >> we're going to leave it up to him. he's got a plan. we've talked about the plan today at noon. >> what did you hear at lunch today from steve witkoff, his adviser? >> yeah, it was good. you know, he gave us all the details of what they talked about. and something's got to be done. and whether it's us. but i don't think. i don't think there's going to be a lot of people, our troops, to go there. okay. >> did you tell steve witkoff that today? >> well, a lot of people did, but. oh, really? but president trump knows that he doesn't want to get involved in that militarily. it's a it's a no win situation. >> my sour

some thought his advisers were walking it back but today donald trump doubled down on his plan to occupyhe israeli defense minister is preparing a plan for the palestinians to leave with a warning to arab states, they need to step up. we will get reaction from egypt's former prime minister and donald trump former advisor john bolton. and the bonfire of red tape. the british prime minister rips up the planning rules to fire up nuclear power. very good evening. if the president's plan for the united states to take ownership of gaza was being discussed internally, if it indeed have been part of a national security discussion, then the people who knew about it were extremely limited in number. it came as a shock to most in the inner circle even to his own secretary of state. certainly he caught the israeli prime minister by surprise. he could hardly disguise his joy on tuesday night. not sure that would have been the first reaction of those who were sent out to then explain it, but their job is to apply the gloss. the press secretary described it as visionary. >> insanity is doing the same t

trump was running for president. so in that sense it's not a surprise. i do thinking there wereot of people, a lot of moderates who supported trump who were hoping for something different, similar to the tariff story, is the hope that this would all be bluster or something and, you know, this is what they said they were going to do. and one difference, though, here again is that elon musk doesn't work for the government -- it's not clear what his authority is. he hasn't been subject to a confirmation hearing. he hasn't put his financial stuff in a trust. he's also very erratic. this is probably more extreme than it would have been if it were a different trump appointee doing this. but having somebody with musk's temperament and reputation and frankly, energy levels sort of takes us to another level. jackie: thank you, max. next we pivot to policy where doug tells us deepseek is a wake-up call around a.i. safety. this is bloomberg. ♪ only the servicenow platform puts ai agents to work across your company. they deal with the small stuff that bogs you down. agents like secret agent

so opponents and trump were somewhat quieter, but now it seems that many of them, at least in this, in this group, have found their voice, will continue to follow events with you and those demonstrations as the day progresses. thank you. bob reynolds, that 4th of los angeles. what is above what health work is all holding that the suspension of followed by president trump will have the most valuable of communities. many h i. v aids patients fed them, their local, receive light saving medicine. however, latasha reports not from a poor us in northeastern zimbabwe. no matter how busy her day gets, which i need to someone who can forget to take her medication. of the 48 year old says she gets a anti retroviral treatment for free from 8 agencies. she was shocked to hear that the united states agency for international development, u. s. h has abruptly suspended its operations and funding for at least 90 days. some live saving a chevy. treatment is continuing, but no one knows how long that will last. and this was the state that she talked to . we are going to die. that's what it means. they m

minister's office which issued a statement this morning, those talks with the envoy by president trump were positive and friendly. they will send a team to doha at the end of the week to start talking about phase two of the ceasase-fire. but not everyone in the israeli government wants to get to phase two. the interior minister has already resigned. and recently, the finance minister has also threatened to resign if israel doesn't go back to fight hamas in gaza after phase one. despite the fact that there are still, there will still be israeli hostages in gaza. and this is something that will potentially worry the families of the hostages that are still there. take a listen. >> the extremists in israel government and coalition are attempting to sabotage the deal. they want to resume the war at the expense of the hostages' lives. i don't trust netanyahu to bring my son home from captivity. but i do trust you, mr. president. i know you will bring my son and the rest of the hostages home. >> reporter: in the meantime, the leader of the opposition in israel, lapid has said that his party will o

total for joining, i think this response is really about giving the us taste of what it would do if trump were to carry this trade forward. i think that you really big, big messages. the bus is china does not want this trade war. it's much, it will much rather that the trump administration sits down that they do negotiate the deal. perhaps the agent can put more us fluids. however, if it does carry on with this, the china is ready and willing to respond to protect that bus message. the 2nd message is that you took, the dissertation is not dealing with the same day using that a delta during its best time. during the 1st time they did was really unprepared with trump initiated the 2017 task scrambled to respond to this time. it's ready. it's been quite be spending last school year is building up its mechanism studying its leave, a studying us pressure points and now it is ready to and slick real time us and on us companies. should it be pro tight? all right, yeah. katrina, you a live person badging. katrina. thank it's or no echo is the presidential race could be headed for rental floods. incumb

were very corrupt people, very corrupt. and they hurt our country very badly with the weaponization. >> now, the trump administration says they're also conducting investigations into fbi agents that were part of the investigations into the january 6th capitol attack. that is sending fear and panic throughout the bureau, because people are worried that they're going to be retaliated against merely for working on those investigations. so definitely going to be watching to see what else might be happening and what other firings might be happening. christina. >> all right. yamiche alcindor in west palm beach, and as yamiche just mentioned, we've got a lot of breaking news. we're going to turn now to the tariffs on u.s. trading partners that are expected to be put into place today as president trump's threats become reality. joining us now for more on the potential impact is lori ann larocco, cnbc global supply chain reporter and author of trade wars containers don't lie. navigating the bluster. all right, lori, you wrote about the tariffs implemented during trump's first term. first of all, it seems to be unclear if these tariffs ha

president, trump, and you have to understand beneath all of this, you know, momentary, you know, uh colorado, re between netanyahu and truck is a told them before, didn't like each other. they were both essentially challenging each other's egos and whatnot. and now when you sort of see how the relationship is a ball, donald trump is on the rise. maybe not yahoo is on the rise. they're both using each other at this moment and joining forces, but it didn't used to be that way. and i think in part is because you have to face the fact to some degree that netanyahu is done well against many of us perceive rivals. i should say that he has not wiped out the moss. he has not reach many of the strategic objectives in gaza, but may be primary. donald trump is going to help him do that by d, populating gaza and be occupied westbank now and is really sees just forced more than 26000 palestinians to flee their homes. children are unable to go to school and daily life is at a standstill. attacks are largely focused on jeanine refugee camp in the north, many more palestinians of trapped in their homes. their. it is really on the bulldozers have been pulling down houses and destroying infrastru

patel, if i can jump right in, 12 career prosecutors were involved in the investigation prosecuting cases against president trump and were recently fired. some of those that were involved were involved in the mar-a-lago classified documents case. do you know who brecht reynolds is? mr. patel: maybe, but it doesn't ring a bell at this point. sen. booker: you are under oath, you have no record action of who reynolds is? mr. patel: if you could provide me with more context i could possibly remember. sen. booker: are you aware of any plans or discussions to punish in any way including termination fbi agent or personnel associated with trump investigations? mr. patel: senator, just to be clear, i did not participate -- sen. booker: that is a yes or no question, are you are aware of any plans to punish in any way including termination fbi agent or personnel associated with trump investigations? mr. patel: i'm not aware. sen. booker: there is no evidence of wrongdoing by fbi employees involving these investigations. if you do pursue investigations of those involved, will you commit to using standard processes including

depends on which trump supporters you are talking about, because some people voted for donald trump because they were about the price of eggs and everything else. there are others who voted for trump because they were frustrated with president biden refusing to step aside and having harris come in in this way. there were people upset about what was happening in gaza. there were people who wanted to shake things up and felt like government was not working for them and they are looking at this and saying they are shaking things up. this is a hostile takeover and that is what some share of trump's voters signed up for. i will say that when a president takes office they are never more popular and powerful than they are in their first couple weeks and as they continue to do more things people who voted for them get upset so their popularity almost inevitably declines. >> the economy was a driving issue in the last election. when you talk about the potential for these tariffs, here is what president trump had to say. he said will there be some pain? maybe but it will be worth it. we know the prices of thin

those who were just let out of prison by donald trump, tell them, hey, here's the names of fbi agents who were part of all the january 6th investigations, the ones that targeted trump. don't worry, though, they're no longer agents. we're firing them today. so go ahead and have at them. now, tonight, msnbc's ryan riley has obtained a memo sent by the acting director of the fbi to all fbi personnel. and it would seem to indicate that even beyond those things that i have just described, beyond the prosecutors who did the two trump cases, beyond fbi personnel at the senior levels of the justice of the fbi, beyond fbi personnel involved in the two trump cases. what ryan riley has obtained tonight, this this letter from the acting fbi director to all fbi personnel would seem to indicate that they are planning a massive purge. beyond that, some kind of purge against not just the agents who participated in some way in the two jack smith cases where trump was charged. but beyond that, they appear to be targeting all the fbi agents who were involved in any of the cases brought against january 6

youtube programs that interviewed donald trump found his appearances received more than 100 million views. nearly all of the top political guests on these programs were republicans and trump supporters. this is the joe rogan experience, the sean ryan show, the false send podcast, 80% male audiences that regularly echo trump talking points on the economy, immigration, and gender. a large segment of the electorate is marinating in a media ecosystem where the audience is mostly male, the discussion often celebrates masculinity. is this your father's gop? >> no. that is why i am screaming about the president of the united states, who is a republican. i am a conservative. i am a right wingnut but i am a conservative. i am not whatever trump is. you are right about when you asked about what the biggest tactical mistakes were. not doing the joe rogan interview. the idea that joe rogan is the new tim russert with the trick questions, it's not true. he's a nice guy who has the conversation. he has a few openings you can push back on. we are in a new world where some of the old elite gatekeepers are gone, for good and bad. people doing campaigns don't represen

in the first administration, there were their trump administration. there were tariffs on things from china, but there were exemptions. donald trump entertained ceos. and then if he was impressed, he would give an exemption for those products. at this point, everything looks like it's across the board except for oil from canada, which will be taxed at 10% instead of 25%. but now what happens next? how long does it take for the consumer to feel these these higher prices? i will say one thing washing machines is a good example. in the first trump administration, he put taxes on washing machines from mexico, i believe, and washing machine prices for domestic and imported washing machines all went up. so prices went up. when you put tariffs and any place in the supply chain. >> given what you know about this industry, though, last quick question. when donald trump says i want everything to be manufactured in the united states. now, that's the goal here, along with trying to curb fentanyl coming in and the illegal immigration, the issues that he's tacking o
