there is a great item in the "wall street journal" today talks a little bit about how donald trump orderedrybody back to work. within the next couple weeks or so. and the "wall street journal" says an anxious federal workforce bids goodbye to job stability and remote work as well. here's the problem. a lot of the members of the federal workforce, because joe biden let them work from home, they have moved out of washington, d.c. they got no place to live. so, if they are living out in ohio or oregon or wherever they are, they either are going to have to get some sort of exemption which i don't think there are going to be carveouts or quit their job. >> ainsley: employees felt nervous about the details of return to the office five days a week because the agency was already short on desk and parking space at white oak headquarters even before the pandemic. i guess we will all be sitting cross legged on the floor said a federal employee at another agency. that agency that they are talking that is in maryland is the fda. talks abouthow anyone hired with a start date after february 8th, those of

"wall street journal" was told safety and security of americans overseas is one of biden/harris adminis administration's. it is up to president biden to decide if best way to get americans back is to let a suspected terror leader go free. back to you. >> brian: absolutely insane. thanks. this is green light to worst of the worse. if you work in bin laden's circle and you are this afghan, now you could get out of jail free if you take americans. how soon until higher-up american is taken and mohammad is back on the street. these three, i want them out, the question is why they are holding them. we are still giving aid to the tlaib in afghanistan right now. >> steve: according to "wall street journal," administration has been negotiabling with tlaib since last july. they said how about trade this guy for this american, then

host: the editorial from the wall street journal says syria should not be the united states problem in the wake of this terror attack. they make the point that this question of whether the united states should have a basis in the middle east as a place to keep terrorism from forming and eventually coming overseas, we need to rethink this. and possibly have that foothold in syria and think about this and other countries as well. guest: the question i will post to the wall street journal editorial boat -- board is what size of american military do we need to do that? america made a series of commitments during the cold war undergirded by defense spending between 6% and 12% depending. it made additional commitments during the war on terror. what size military do we need if we are going to have basis in syria and robust presence in europe and basis and military forces and africa to fight terrorists there and a force that can fight iran in the middle east and -- >> we are here today to talk about two big fixing topics in education right now, one being student disengagement and the other bei

hat tip to "wall street journal" editorial page for pointing it out. president can rede redesignate jobs if they involve policy making at any level, be it cabinet secretary or mid level career person. mr. trump is restoring a job category, policy career, which was formally known as schedule f . that allows him to say, if you disagree with my policy, and you work against it, you are fired. well over a fast thousand civil servants have to deal with it over two million will have to figure out if they want to resign or not, odds are 5 to 10% will resign that could safe a hundred billion, if you want to stay in the game, show up for work. and yo to toricer ooe the line and don't less tony fake news, that is the riff, joining me now kentucky senator rand pull, welcome. a quickie, i don't think you were involved in tulsi gabbard or kash patel, but i'm sure you hear a lot in clcloak room, what you can share? >> you know i'm fans of both, i think we need both, we need some people in charge of our intelligence agencies to be disrupters, at fbi not politicized. s

front page of the wall street journal. "more than 10,000 structures have burned. s fear the death toll will rise." inside the wall street journal, let me show you what they have to say on the cost of this. "damage costs are likely to set a record" is the headline. "the camp fire 2018 burn in california posta $12.5 billion and according to estimates in other newspapers this fire that is still burning in los angeles could be a lot more." according to jpmorgan chase it could exceed $20 billion and some experts putting that price tag even higher. wall street journal editorial today. "california's fire insurance catastrophe." they write "insurers have already scrapped hundreds of thousands of policies and wildfire prone areas. democrats blame climate change which has become an all-purpose excuse for any disaster relief failure but the real insurance problem is state regulators have barred insurers from charging premiums that fully reflect risks and costs. california is the only state that hereto for has not allowed insurers to incorporate the cost of reinsurance and pre

trump's tariffs and how quickly, "wall street journal" news story claims momentum is growing among president trump's advisers, to place 25% tariffs on mexico and canada as soon as saturday. february 1. "wall street journal" story cites anonymous advisers not the president himself but mr. trump has said he is thinking about february 1. without question, mr. trump is using tariffs as an effective negotiations tool, the question is, what will the president's tariffs strategy be? looks like mexico is cooperating on the border. unfortunately, canada at the moment is leaderless, i don't think that mr. trump will break y up usmca, trade dale, changes in the deem are likely to be possible. the dang players they arey administration players are not in place yet, the time is short to make that decision by saturday. similarly, the president is said he note ready for a universal tariff, quite yet, for my part, i rather like universal tariff. i likes numbers. roughly 5 trillion dollars in imports. and 10% rate, could yield roughly 500 billion in revenues to finance tax cuts. and i think at least 50% if no

that the "wall street journal" article of a mistake. he was politicizing the fed.out tariffs, they asked him -- will you talk about d.e.i., no he would not, talk about deporting people. >> no. and h he i think got rereligion overnight, trying to g bit back to fed's lane where he should be. larry: i don't believe the tariff, whatever j. powell may or may not have said, yoibi don't believe that the tariff fire is over, i think -- tariff fear is over, i think you have a lot economists whispering in his ear. colombia, the trump threatening colombia on accepting deported criminals, back to colombia, we didn't get the 25 or 50% tariff, because of trump's tariff d diplomacy, i think, from the stress room said -- press secretary said yesterday, sounds like canada and mexico are helping us sufficiently, u.s. government, on the border, so we won't get those 25% tariffs either. so interesting, people who are crazed about tariffs they don't understand trump, they don't understand his negotiation, they don'tn 't tariff diplomacy because he is so good at it, we don't get the kin

the wall street journal editorial board says if mr. trump makes a priority of seeking revenge against his opponents, he will squander political capital and quickly lose whatever goodwill his victory earns him. ditto if he focuses on responding to every critic who insults him. we realize that asking mr. trump to act with self-restraint and political grace is the triumph of hope over hard experience. john is in new jersey on our line for republicans. caller: good morning. i used to be a democrat, with everything going on, i definitely became a republican because this democrat party is not for the minority. you always ask people to be on topic but it seems like when it's black rage, you let them just continue and continue and continue even though it is off-topic. i see that a lot. i don't know why you do that, especially when it comes to that anger. i ask that you stay on topic. sometimes you try to be, but when it comes to black, that's it, you just go right off-topic and let them go on and on. that is not what this country is about and

and the wall street journal editorial page once again skeptical of pete hegseth. just so anybody out there watching doesn't believe this is some left wing attack. there are a lot of us that want a tough military and a strong military and want people in there that actually have dust on their boots, understand what it's like to serve in uniform and also have the experience and the qualifications to, to ably run that probably the toughest bureaucracy in america to run. this is what the wall street journal editorial page said. hegseth gets a senate pass. americans didn't learn much about pentagon nominee pete hegseth at his senate confirmation hearing on tuesday, but they did learn more about the world's greatest non deliberative body. and they talk about the failures that the democrats and the republicans make. this is what they say about the republicans. senator mullin from oklahoma noted that senators sometimes show up drunk at votes at night and cheat on their wives. but as the wall street journal editorial page says, they aren't in the chain of command of u.s. mi

host: robert mentioned senator tim kaine, democrat from virginia wall street journal has a take on hiside of the questioning. the closest democrats had questioning from senator tim kaine of virginia -- and trump's team -- that is from the wall street journal. that full testimony available on our platforms. senator tim kaine, and the nominee with pete hegseth. [video clip] >> i would like to return to the incident on october 2017, at that time, you are still married to your second wife, correct? >> i believe so. >> and you had just fathered a child by a woman who would later become your third wife, correct? >> senator, i was falsely charged, fully investigated and cleared. >> so you think you were cleared because -- you had just fathered a child two month before by woman who is not your wife. i'm shocked that you would stand here and say i'm completely cleared and you so casually cheat on a second wife, and she, the mother of a child of importance of as before, and utility were completely cleared, house at how set a complete clear? >> senator, the child's name is gwendolyn hope hegseth,

"the wall street journal" piece was there this weekend.od and bad and to be wild and unpredictable in my closing line was the closing line of the piece is buckle up buttercups peacoat -- because it will be a while before your ride. >> can go after his enemies paid a vengeance that doesn't play. >> voters in the election that want donald trump with those that they try with the overreach. they're hopeful then her with republicans in the midterm election and that his base might be a little softer than he thinks it is the last election i may be again that they can do better in the midterms as a result. >> does he talk all the bipartisanship tomorrow? what does he talk about? >> i don't know. if i'm barco jeba show it right? >> how does he deliver on his agenda items that might be intentional to each other? that is how does he lower the inflation and impose the tariffs. with these deportations these are hard and tough issues complicated the acrobatics of this is donald trump as i mentioned earlier does not have great congressional margins. what

diligence and figure out whether he could vote for hegseth, and that's what he told to the wall street journalt he said to danielle hegseth. so there is some disagreement. he didn't dispute any of the wall street journal's reporting at all, but he says that he said that the letter would give people pause. it did, i guess, presumably. and it also would prompt him to do more due diligence on his candidacy. now, i know hegseth worked tillis over hard, but, you know, if tillis wants to get out of a primary and this is what members of congress are concerned about. katie, i don't mean to be glib. they are concerned about getting out of a primary. and if they choose to, to win reelection, to run for reelection, if he wants to get out of a primary, getting being a no vote on trump's nominees is going to be very difficult. so if he votes no on any of these folks, i think that it would be a signal that he might not be running again when he's up for reelection. >> all right, jake sherman, thank you very much for sticking around with us and coming up. >> thanks, katie. >> what newly confirmed dhs secretar

the wall street journal is reporting this. just as reaction to what we're about to see. well, i mean, you know, even the wall street journal just recently released a poll which really indicates that this won't be without risk for donald trump, even among his own base, that the overwhelming majority of americans only want those deported that have committed crimes and want the long term citizens to stay here, especially those who were born here. >> my real concern, jonathan, is what is the opposition going to look like right now? i mean, donald trump has a tactic of, you know, of the shock and awe as what they call it, which is a military term of overwhelming your enemy to the point of them being demoralized and not willing to fight. >> and so my question is, who's going to be putting up the fight on the on our side? >> it feels like to me, to your point earlier that democrats are, you know, moving to the right on this particular issue, that people are becoming a little more numb to it, in fact. >> so that's really my main conce

the wall street journal reports that on tuesday morning, at least 100 ice officers will start roundingnts in chicago. according to the journal, the operation is, quote, a way of making an example of so-called sanctuary cities, end quote. nbc has confirmed this report and says ice could target additional cities next week, including washington dc, denver, philadelphia and los angeles. this crackdown comes after ten senate democrats joined republicans in advancing another part of trump's immigration agenda. the lincoln riley act would allow ice to detain and deport undocumented immigrants accused of nonviolent petty crimes like shoplifting. trump is also planning dozens of extreme executive orders on day one, from imposing 25% tariffs on mexico and canada to eliminating birthright citizenship in the united states. joining me now, jennifer rubin, co-founder and editor in chief of the contrarian and msnbc political analyst. and ashley etienne, former communications director for both vice president kamala harris and former speaker nancy pelosi and former senior adviser to presidents obama an

you can't fit that, "wall street journal" my degree but they can't fit that in there. what mainstream publication, "new york times" will never touch that, right? that's the advantage we have in terms of spots to be able to run the things the fault of the planks and all different arguments come from different perspectives but all united around that idea about the importance of free markets and standing firm on that. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. [applause]

the wall street journal did from donald trump's inaugural address. and one of the statements he will apparently make is a call for a revolution in common sense. interesting. the connection between that and all these tech ceos we're seeing. >> yeah, in a way, because so much of that common sense talk we heard during the campaign was around the issue of anti-woke ism, right? >> going against diversity, equity, inclusion, a lot of things that were raised out of the progressive movements in 2020, and some of silicon valley was exhausted with that as well. in terms of its c-suite. so i think that there is a little bit of a linking there of interests. some of these folks are, of course, pivoting because of the change in power. some of them were interested in this pivot because they were also exhausted, and they're part of the movement that says, look, maybe we've had enough talking about these issues. i think mark zuckerberg is someone who has made that most pronounced shift. >> the other sentence that we have in the wall street journal is that donald trum

we also bring in bill mcgurn, fox news contributor and "wall street journal" editorial board. this house speaker vote is set to move to a second ballot. we are getting color from the floor, lots of discussions, obviously marjorie taylor greene on the screen there, she has been working her phones on the e house floor. your thoughts on where this all goes next, bill? >> well, we are in place because of the loss of political physics peered when you have a narrow majority, you create incentive for a few people to hijack the party and hold everyone hostage. when they say republicans have not got their act together, let's point oh it are three republicans. more than 200 people on the other side saying let's get sworn in, let's have our speaker, then let's get down to business to the american people, and three people who have no candidate and/or alternative candidate are just holding this up. it makes no rational sense from their own point of view. they have some legitimate complaints about spending and the processes, but i don't think the answer is to hobble your speaker. that happe

it's extremely disturbing the "wall street journal" did a phenomenal report on in this weekend.his despite the billions of dollars we spent over the years on the deep state. what is china planning? we will dig into that later in the show. meanwhile, there is really zero sense from what can i tell that at least democrats in elected office have a clue about how to fix their own mess. they are still lying about the biden cover-up. >> schumer what do you say to americans that you and top democrats misled them about president biden's mental acuity? >> look, we didn't and let's look -- let's look at president biden he has had amazing record. legislation we passed one of the most significant groups of legislation, since the new -- lyndon johnson society. 235 judges a record. is he a patriot. is he great guy. >> laura: headline there is they are still lying. they lied about biden. they are still lying about their record. they lied about trump they lied about january 6th. they are still doing it. that's not learning. democrats know. they know this that the only person to be killed on jan

wall street journal news story claims momentum is growing among president trump's advisers to place 25% tariffs on mexico and canada as soon as satu saturday, february 1. wall street journal cites anonymous advisers, but the president himself, but mr. trump said he's thinking about february 1. so without question, mr. tram subpoena using tariffs as an effective negotiating tool and he has plenty of executive authority to back that up. and now the question is what exactly will the president's tariff strategy be? looks like mexico is cooperating on the border though unfortunately canada at the moment is leaderless. i don't think mr. trump will break up the usmca trade deal that was so hard to come by in his first term in just the next couple of days. clangs in that deal are likely to be possible. but the administration players, they're not really in place yet and the time is very short to make that kind of decision by saturday. the president said he's not ready for a universal tariff quite yet. for my part. i rather like the universal tariff and i especially like the numbers. roughly $5 u

. >> katty kay, the wall street journal editorial board has a piece this morning titled. trump pardons the january 6th cop beaters. this is the wall street journal editorial board, writing. >> quote. >> republicans are busy denouncing president biden's preemptive pardons for his family and political allies, and deservedly so. but then it's a shame you don't hear many, if any. ruing president trump's proclamation to pardon unconditionally nearly all of the people who rioted at the u.s. capitol on january 6th, 2021. this includes those convicted of bludgeoning, chemical spraying and electroshocking police to try to keep mr. trump in power. now he's springing them from prison. this is a rotten message from a president about political violence done on his behalf, and it's a bait and switch. out of roughly 1600 cases filed by the feds, more than a third included accusations of assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement. of the 1100 sentences handed down this year, more than a third did not involve prison time. the riders who did get jail often were charged with brutal v

the editorial board of the wall street journal wondering what this could mean for u.s. foreign policy, wondering what the terror attack could mean in the weeks and months to come. terror strikes in new orleans is the headline today. a lesson in this attack is it is still vital to stay on the offense against jihadist groups abroad, lest they be able to establish sanctuaries on which they can plan attacks on the west as they did 9/11. the u.s. withdrawal from an escape -- afghanistan has meant the uss lost the ability to monitor isis in that country. this is a good reason for mr. trump to retain the u.s.-based in syria. mr. trump has said civil war is not america's concern, but it can become were new to cap skip form. it is not the message anybody wanted to hear in 2025, but it is reality that the next administration will have to deter or defeat, and that is in the wall street journal. anthony, fort lauderdale, sort of, you are next. caller: good morning. this is no surprise for me. look at all the hatred, vitriol and rhetoric spewed on most media outlet news programs eve

for more enjoyment wall street journal columnist senior fellow jason riley. welcome. see you again. so, do you think the executive orders make a good, fully make good on trump's campaign promises? >> absolutely. you recall trump went after these minority neighborhoods while he was campaigning. he asked for the votes of the black scum of the hispanics, of other racial and ethnic minority groups. and i was struck by what he said in his inaugural address in terms of thanking them for their support. he did not appeal to them on the grounds he would deliver government benefits based on race and ethnicity. also his inaugural address he's going to get the federal government out of the business of picking winners and losers when it comes to race and ethnic background. the people who voted for him support that movement. most americans in general supported. paul: it's really interesting he did not use the pill the biden execexecutive order went back ad repealed lyndon baines johnson had written in the 1960s. ronald reagan did not even do that. what is the importance of that rep

let's ask wall street journal columnist fox news contributor karl rove.s a senior advisor to president george w. bush. welcome. so, donald trump as he starts here, is he in a much stronger position for a second term then he was the first time around? >> oh, absolutely. not only because he knows what he went through last time around, showed how much more popular he is today than he was eight years ago. let's also consider were joe biden is 40% 59% unfavorably in the cnn poll it was 33% favorable for joe biden, 58% on favorable. the fond feelings people have for the last time he was in office compared to how they are feeling about the current president a of putting a minute strong position. >> how do you rate the transition so far this time around? one tone of things is striking e they really did have cabinet choices and some of the other things in mind. even the two or three at levels down you are seeing announcements before the inauguration. do you give it good marks? >> yes, i do. the one downside is they have got more than the normal quota of controvers

ken thomas, wall street journal, wall street journal, white house reporter. thank you for waking up with us, my friend. and over in california, winds are expected to ease in the los angeles areas, providing a much needed reprieve for the firefighters battling wildfires there. the particularly dangerous situation warning expired yesterday, and now forecasters are predicting temperatures will drop, which should help firefighters make more progress in battling the flames. however, there is still a risk for new fires as strong santa ana winds are expected to return early next week. currently, the palisades fire is at 19% containment, while the eaton fire is at 45% contained. joining us now live from altadena, california, is nbc news correspondent steve patterson. steve, what are you expecting today on the ground? and will those winds be picking back up? >> significant progress. ali, as you mentioned, the pds that we were under is over the red flag winds that we have been in over the better part of a week are finally ending. the humidity is rising, cooler temperat

yeah, they, you know, you see it in this wall. >> street journal editorial where. the wall street journal editorial page, like. >> many, you. >> know. >> sort of centrist republicans or business types, got behind donald trump. >> on the grounds that. >> this is going to be good for the economy. >> you know, we've seen everyone. >> from elon musk to jamie dimon kind of say things like that. and they were kind of just trying to ignore this. other thing, which is that. >> donald trump and elon musk together really have made things a lot better for the far right, because on one side, you have these leaders getting out of out of jail, like back on the streets effectively, which which actually really hurt a lot of these extremist groups. on the other side, social media, which had kind of been closed off to the far right, is wide open. so it just like has totally changed the playing field for these groups. and i think that was kind of the point all along. >> easy to ignore them when they're sitting in jail. wait until those groups get on the eat the rich tip. i don't think

the "the wall street journal" reports that's one option chinese officials have discussed, to let elonl of tiktok's u.s. operations. the journal says it's unclear if the chinese government floated this idea the musking, himself, and they say -- to musk himself, and they say it has not discussed contingency plans with parent company bytedance. but when you think about it, stu, it's not the most far-fetchedded decision. musk already has a social media platform. he's got a good relationship with president-elect trump and a good relationship with top chinese officials because he has business with tesla in china. still, the company is throwing cold water on the idea of a musk takeover of tiktok telling fox tiktok, quote, can't be expected to comment on pure fiction. kevin o'leary, who's also interested in buying the app alongside frank mccourt, says it is unlikely. >> i'm a huge elon musk fan, no question about it, you know? he's a phenomenal entrepreneur. but the idea that the regulator even under trump's administration would allow this, pretty slim. >> reporter: i think o'leary said the s

larry: you wrote in your wall street journal article more importantly, that obviously biden had too much government spending and unfortunately the fed "monetized it" and they put the printing press on it overtime, and your point is that there's still too much money out there, too much money chasing too few goods. still is at this late date. so here's the fed cutting interest rates and pumping more into the economy and how is that getting inflation down? >> they have a view, the economics profession broadly and inflation coming for workers and economy is too hot and those theories are wrong. inflation comes when the government spends too much and prints too much. if the fed could drain money from the balance sheet, shrink the size of the federal reserve's and take that money out, interest rates could be lower the real and i stronger and don't have the right objectives and right tools then i'm afraid we'll live in a world where inflation is too high and it continues to be a real burden for the american working class. larry: you know, going back to quoting president trump and miz truth soci

according to the wall street journal his inaugural address today trump will say, we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. at time of change is sweeping the country. the change starts today with a flurry of executive orders, he will declare a national border and urgency abolish the green new deal delay the tiktok band, he learned from last time around when he wasted his first six months in office trying to get rid of obamacare, right after he sworn in reportedly he will move around d.c. signing those executive orders as he goes. the supporters are jamming the streets they will be cheering him on. it's a historic day, and date to be okay and proud of america. the second hour of barley is just getting started. ♪. stuart: comments steve hilton i get the impression that change is coming rapidly to america starting out. >> it is, i been on the streets of washington, d.c., i feel the energy in the excitement the optimism just as you were saying, it's an absolutely historic moment for two reasons i think, first of all the nature of what were witnessing someone who has

let's bring in right now. >> wall street journal reporter. >> alan cullison. he's a former moscow correspondent for the journal. reporting from russia for over 20 years. alan, thank you so much for being with us. i guess i guess this. >> is. >> you know, the economic impact is not going to be. quite so great on any tariffs because trade has dwindled so rapidly since the invasion. but, but, but what does what does this statement by president trump say about how far he's willing to push vladimir putin on getting this war to getting the sides to the negotiating table? i think the statement is actually quite significant. it he meant more than tariffs. clearly the yeah. the trade with russia has dwindled a lot over the years. it never was that significant to begin with because of our distance of course. but you know, the united states has waged a pretty breathtaking sanction regime regime against him. and this statement by trump is the strongest, strongest indication yet that he's going to continue it and maybe even ramp it up. i think it probably was quite a surpri

excellent points, all, says the wall street journal editorial page. mr. trump hasn't explained his denial of security, but it should last as long as there are real threats to those who did their duty and are marked by death by an adversary because of it, it seems pretty straightforward. willie and the wall street journal editorial page is talking again specifically about these three trump cabinet officials, or three officials that were just doing their job, and now they have hits on them from the iranian government and no protection. and the one that most people are curious about is brian hook. here's a state department guy, kept his head down, did his job, envoy to ira. i like i said, i have been in meetings, i've been in dinners, i've been in places where he's talking to policymakers and ambassadors always, always toed the company line, you know, never, never said anything derogatory about donald trump. and he's just he's just left out there. not that it matters. you should you should protect those who the iranians are trying to kill on your behalf anyw

confirming a "wall street journal" report that large scale deportations of illegals will start as early yeah. "the wall street journal" editorial page assistant editor james freeman is joining us now, and he's got more on this. tell me your thoughts. >> oh, thanks. yeah, that comment from mr. homan, we're going to focus on the worst first -- [laughter] you guys were talking about the consensus that donald trump has built, and this is maybe a difference from his first term. you now have really an overwhelming bipartisan consensus in this country that especially violent criminals who came here illegally should not be here. we see 75% support in the "wall street journal" poll for deporting violent criminal aliens. you saw ten senate democrats, as you guys have covered, voting to advance the laken riley act for even below the most violent for burglaries and so forth. so i think that is the mandate that a donald trump has, and i think that is going to be the focus, and pit makes perfect -- and it makes perfect sense. and, by the way, the resistance, if there are democratic governors who want

to "wall street journal" editorial board member and former chief speech writer for president bush, billurn. great to have you, thank you so much for being here. he's got a very aggressive tax agenda that he wants to push forward. he also wants to bring down the corporate tax rate and extend the trump tax cuts. the big debate, of course, now is there it be one bill for immigration and one bill for taxes? is this all going to be combined? is it smarter to combine it and try to push it through right away? >> i don't know. i suspect those questions will be answered later in the game when we see -- as you point out, the difficulty is not the no tax on tips pledge. it's that he's trying to do this while bringing down rates on everything else, corporate taxes, reviving the trump tax cuts and everything. so this is a lot on the plate -- there's a lot on the plate. i think the logic of this is really pushing toward a flat tax to just -- there's so much, the tax code is so complicated. let's just move to a cleaner, simpler flat tax. i'm not sure the president would advocate for that, but that's w

excerpt to the wall street journal. just that little snippet looks positive, but you listen to the language from yesterday. and of course, a lot of lot of negativity about joe biden. but i'm curious what your thoughts are today on the administration leaving one that you know very well, one that occasionally you have to write speeches for the one coming in. and also those polls that i talked about this weekend that the new york times and the wall street journal polls both showing on on illegal immigration, on tariffs, on, on, on crime, on a lot of these issues that donald trump led with throughout the campaign on transgender rights. about. men who transition post puberty, not being able to compete in women's sports. you know, a lot of those issues were just they were 80 over 20. and americans in the wall street journal poll, while they want immigrants that came here even illegally and have been here for ten years, you know, and worked hard, played by the rules, they want them to stay in those that have been here for 4 or

host: the editorial board of the wall street journal, we have it somewhere. donald trump said syria should not be the united states' ,problem in the wake of the terror attack -- united states' problem. in the wake of the terror attack there is the question of we should have bases in the middle east to keep terrorism from forming individually coming overseas. we need to rethink this and possibly have that foothold in syria and think about other countries as well. guest: the question i will post to the wall street journal editorial board through you, what size of the american military do we need to do that? america make commitments during the cold war that was undergirded by defense spending between 6% and 12%. more in the 1950's and last in the 1980's. -- less in the 1980's. what size military do we need it for going to have bases in syria and a robust presence in europe and bases and military forces in africa to fight the terrorists there and a four second fight iran and -- force that can fight iran? to say we have these actions without specifying the ability
