11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: jobs back to the United States and promoting the adoption

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: of cryptocurrency. He also has support from both Elon Musk

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Who publicly endorsed him for

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary this past weekend. Former Wisconsin Congressman Shawn Duffy

Speaker 1: is President Trump's pick for Transportation Secretary. Duffy will be

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: tasked with rebuilding America's highways, tunnels, bridges, and airports time

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: The soon to be forty seventh president is also making

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: headlines for his plan to declare a state of emergency

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: at the border and using the military to assist in

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: nass deportations. Retired ICE Special Agent Victor Avola tells me

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: the use of National guardsmen patrolling the border isn't unprecedented

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: and it would bolster efforts to remove illegal immigrants and.

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 2: The roads already, by the way, telling it's about seven

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: hundred thousand illegal aliens walking around with deportation orders already.

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: That means they saw an immigration judge and have been

26
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: ordered deported. We got to both target them as well

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: and remove them. So we have plenty of work to

28
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: start off with here.

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: While President Trump is moving full steam ahead with his

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: cabinet nominations and other appointments, soon to be first son

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: Don Junior says, the process is much different this time around.

32
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: I think the reality at this time is we actually

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: know what we're doing. We actually know who the good

34
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: guys and the bad guys are. We know who the

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: guys are fake, and it's about surrounding my father with

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: people who are both competent and loyal. They will deliver

37
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: on his promises, They will deliver on his message. They

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: are not people who think they know better as unelected

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: bureaucrats and so A big part of that process is

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 3: just something that we didn't understand in twenty sixteen where

41
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: he came to Washington, d c. He had no experience,

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: He didn't know any of the four thousand people that

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: make up the plumbook, which are the presidential appointees. So

44
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: now we have a great understanding of that and we

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: can have a cabinet that is so powerful in delivering

46
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: the America First message that the American people clearly voted

47
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 3: for on November fifth.

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the meantime, says he'll likely

49
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: make a decision on who will fill Senator Mark Or

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Rubio's seat by early January. Rubio will be stepping away

51
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: from Capitol Hill to take over as President Trump secretary

52
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: of State. Rubio is a three term Senator and the

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: senior Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committee.

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: In a statement on Monday, Desanta said Senator Rubio is

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: expected to resign from the Senate and assume his duties

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: a Secretary of State when the Trump administration takes office

57
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: on January twentieth. That gives the Santus about two months

58
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: to find a suitable replacement. One person being talked about

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: as a possible appointee is President Trump's daughter in law,

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: Laura Trump. Several lawmakers, including Senators Lindsay Graham of South

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: Carolina and Katie Britt of Alabama, along with Florida Congresswoman

62
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: Anna Paulina Luna, are already on record backing the rnc

63
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: CO chair for the job. The House Ethics Committee is

64
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: set to meet tomorrow to discuss its report on former

00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: Florida congressmen and current US Attorney General designate Matt Gates.

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: The meeting comes as members of the Senator calling for

67
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: access to the ethics report related to an investigation indicates

68
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: in advance of his upcoming confirmation process. The probe centers

69
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: around alleged sexual misconduct and potential drug use. One witness

70
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: reportedly testified that she and Gates had sex while she

71
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: was just seventeen years old. There's also reporting that at

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: least one witness testified the Gates paid her for sex.

73
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: House Speaker Mike Johnson says he strongly objects to the

74
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: committee releasing its report, saying doing so would be a

75
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: quote terrible breach of protocol, tradition, and spirit of the rule.

76
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: If confirmed as Attorney General, Gates would lead the Department

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: of Justice, which previously investigated him for led sex trafficking

78
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: of an underage girl. President Trump's November twenty sixth New

79
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: York sentencing has been canceled. Now the judge is deciding

80
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: how to move forward with the case given that President

81
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: Trump has been elected to another term. Manhattan District Attorney

82
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg agrees that the case against Trump needs to

83
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: be reconsidered. Judge Van Marshaan also is rethinking things based

84
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: on the US Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity. President

85
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: Trump's election win offers what is being called unprecedented circumstances

86
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: in a court. Finally, last week, the Trump legal team

87
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: argued that the stay and dismissal are necessary to avoid

88
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: unconstitutional impediments to president.

89
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: That's a check
