i will tell john kerry was w amazing. so john kerry was very, very in tune with the work i i was do. he met with us. he talked with us. secretary granholm was very engaged. so do theer fair, while the president wasn't himself the was over people on this team who were really watching what we were doing and wanted us to be successful. >> what do you thinkou the roles for that for republicans in the civilization? everybody's not totally familiar, maybe i could do a top one. a number years ago a little concerned republicans were not engage in a climate conversation site i did what everybody suggested i should do and i jumped in with both feet. i founded the conservative climate caucus to get republicanss engaged. peopleen kind of pad of the audt back and said you'll get five republicans that would join your i'm here to tell you today there's 87 house republicans that are part of the conservative climate caucus. now to answer your question, the role is incredibly important. the reasonn why is if you have a conversation as somet

and as the w correspondent, john park found a house in the islands capital nuke. many greenland is wanting nothing to do with trumps initiative. but some others have signaled some interest. majestic, natural beauty. ferociously cold, frequently changing what the world's attention has landed here in greenland. off the donald trump repeated his idea that the us, what could buy you the country even send to some hit for a photo opportunity with locals. but the foreign policy goals of the new us administration can feel distant to the people we spoke to here in new. it's not a conference, every part united states and lots of people to either. so i'm not interested to people, i'm not a house or a purchase. you concur, i don't know. i'm not sure. i almost don't care. i don't really like this idea as like being part of a like essentially be part of the united states america. so but like a month i do like is like i like to work with them. i seeks in greenland amounts and the exploration for lithium uranium and other critical materials is ramping out from says buying greenla

up to send for gates when the release of full a female, a captive soldiers known as sharina, a re w, a john boy. normally the leader of the re out buys boost, the female is very captive who will be released tomorrow in exchange with the palestinian prisoners held by israel. as everyone is anticipating that the due will continue and will hold in order to enable civilians to return back to the homes in northern garza and the spots be the next 4 to 8 hours with video. okay, so it's all right. you're saying that the mouse has released the full, the names, the full cap says if i understood correctly from you, this is an official statement by how much time cost is real. husband expect thing that in order to then uh, give us an idea perhaps of how many palestinian prisoners are likely to be released . is that right? as well. uh, basically uh, the release of the full uh, names of the valley expected hostages to be released. they are to be assigned all the preparations made by the military, ringo from us in order to make the terms of the agreements quite clear and even to give us only for media uses

and mark mckinnon, former adviser to both george w bush and john mccain. peter, let's start with you. scott bessent is hearing today what caught your attention. >> well, look, obviously, the tax cuts, i think is an important topic. and it reminds you, of course, of what happened with the bush term. right. bush also passed large tax cuts, and then it was set to expire. and then obama had to deal with it during his presidency. what part of it to renew and what part not? and obama's case, he refused to renew the tax cuts for the richest part of the population and allowed the rest to continue. that's presumably what you would hear from democrats going into this debate. but the difference, of course, is that trump has control of both houses of congress. and so what you have is likely some sort of a large deficit adding tax cut. a lot of people will be happy about the tax cut, but it comes at the same time that this president and elon musk have promised they're going to somehow find a way to shrink the deficit, which is at very high levels right now. how do you

w. bush and john mccain, mark mckinnon, also the creator of paramount's the circus. mark good morning. always wonderful to see you. >> hi, jason. >> do you? very well. the eagles won yesterday. they are going to the super bowl. you may have heard i think this may be the fifth time i've mentioned it in under an hour and a half and under two hours. but let's talk about these confirmation chances. i know this is a conversation you and i have kind of had going the last couple of months. tulsi gabbard, in particular, seems to potentially be in trouble. do you think she is and do you think anybody else is going to face potential problems actually getting these votes? >> i don't think so. really. i think the fact that that pete hegseth made it through tells you all you need to know. i mean, he was clearly the most embattled potential nominee. now, clearly, uh, tulsi gabbard and kash patel have national intelligence issues that are serious and are a different sort of perspective. but but i think at the end of the game, there's there's just been signals throughout that i think that while they'r

and i'm sure he's not really retired from there, but john w friess is the author of self-destruction the rise, fall and redemption of u.s. senator daniel brewster. this is john's fourth book. having previously coauthored the autobiography of former u.s. senator joseph de tydings and former governor harry hughes. having written a book on maryland's controversial land use policy known as smart growth. john graduate from the college of william and mary in virginia and was honorably as a first lieutenant in the us army in 71. john is former reporter at maryland statehouse bureau chief of the baltimore sun and united press international. he also covered the virginia assembly in richmond for upi and was editor, reporter and for the reston times, a weekly newspaper in fairfax. john later worked on staff of the governor of maryland at a university of maryland academic research center and, is director of the smart growth office in the u.s. environmental protection agency. in the obama administration, john is married to the children's book. priscilla cummings, who with us tonight. and they have

w. bush and john mccain, mark mckinnon, also the creator of paramount's the circus.ark, good morning. always wonderful to see you. those moments, they're striking to watch. it doesn't seem to me we're going to get many like it in the coming week. >> they are. it's a completely different playbook here. he's not going in with broken toys this time or he's going in with a plan. and the people that he wants this time, and he and the people he wants are saying the things that he wants them to say. the rubber is meeting the road this week, casey. and but i do think that there there's there's definitely potential for surprises this week. there's these people haven't been grilled publicly yet. a lot of them are performers and have television experience. so that helps. and that's why donald trump picked them. but for example, with pete hegseth, it's not even clear he has a majority of republicans on the armed services committee. and some of the senators, like curtis. and in utah and thom tillis, are unhappy with the maga advertising that's been going on in their districts, be

w. bush, richard nixon was john f. kennedy but as routine as biden would like to present this as it is anything but because of what happened four years ago on january 6, 2020. this certification is a national security event, the first time the certification has had that designation. the secret service will be in charge of it. it will be 500 national guard troops standing by and the capitol police will be on high alert. there will be tension. the vote will go forward. sick -- fairly seamlessly. >> and that is the expectation. they have ramped up security around an event that was essentially a nonevent until four years ago. in terms of the specifics of the implementation of the trump policy agenda, mike johnson saying he plans to pass a bill that would encompass much of trump's agenda vice spring, which sounds like a pretty swift implementation process so how likely is that and what is the uniformity in terms of the house and senate on getting that across the line? >> we will see. don't forget mike johnson himself was re

about this before what you can demonstrate is when nobody notices if you have a george w bush saying quoting john one five in the anniversary of 911. right the light has shined darkness. the darkness has not overcome it. and then no reaction to that. that's so it's just a nice but this is democrats republicans conservatives liberals it's a very, very common practice and i should for the record, in no way has the united states been alone in this. i the american mix of religion and politics is at all unique. there are some other nations in the world who like to believe that is unique in making its politics very religious and its religion very political. but if just look historically and, we could do we could do so much more with we could say what a civil religion look like under a monarchy. we could ask a lot more questions about this. all right. i asked you guys to carefully the new house and i want to look at with you i want especially to look at. page 38. and this is the point at which i just assume that i have the right document with me. there it is is. there's a lot that could be said here, bu

trace: for 200 years, some choose to do it, some do not, you had barack obama, george w bush, inauguration was at st. john's. listen, this is where trump did not do it the first time and now he is doing it. there is this push for normalcy, we are veterans, we've been here before, we know how it is done. >> brian: the president has done this before, now the most experienced president. you have interviewed him, i think he's different now. >> trace: i do, too. >> brian: he's still donald trump. as a leader and person and everything he has been through and what he survived, i feel he will be different entering the oval office. >> trace: just his body movement, he is more confident, he is smiling, he would take pictures with everybody and go downstairs and they would say, we have somebody who did not get a picture taken, he would walk back and do pictures for another 15 or 20 minutes. >> ainsley: more measures, too, not angry and not tweeting out. >> trace: right. go back to he was on television and running businesses and that is guy you see now. >> lawrence: he also talks about the near death experience drew hi

w. bush and obama chimney sweep john bolton who is batting zero on most of his predictions. and then there is alexander vindman who triggered the first trump impeachment. is he a hero of the left. and then there were the generals, millie mcmaster and mattis. they were all highly credentialed, served their country proudly, highly educated and often spectacularly wrong. but setting aside their post 2020 nastiness it often seems like they thought they were the commanders in chief not trump. like they felt that they knew more than he did. but, really they are all just stuck in a cold war mentality. the fact is, america, even with our selfless brave truths has not been able to win a major war outright since world war ii. think about it, that's wild. trillions of dollars in spending, then we lose you though sands of our best troops in iraq and afghanistan, fight essentially to a draw. forever wars that triggered new problems. and instead of talking about the need and examining all of this, need for real military reform. instead of preparing to work with president trump on ways to

w. bush and john mccain and others, but republicans defended those actions in the spirit of protecting ourracy. now, to be on the side of tools, tactics, and people who, in any other country, would be described as autocratic, is perhaps the final capitulation. >> yeah, you know, first of all, happy new year. i have not seen you since january 1st. it is great to see you. michael is absolutely correct in this regard. we can tell a long story about the complex underpinnings of american democracy, of hour two party system and i think we can tell a story that really takes us back to madison, nicole, about the importance of virtue, that character matters. even if folk disagreed under certain conditions, even if all were motivated by a cynical pursuit of power or however you might describe it, there was a presumption that people who actually aspire to public office exhibited a certain kind of virtuous character, even if they fall short, right? that is what we presumed. we might even have some senior understandings of how politics function. what happens when you throw the necessity of virtue out t
