Trump Says Burgum Is His Pick To Lead Dept. Of Interior

President-elect Donald Trump spoke Thursday night from Mar-a-Lago, where he announced he plans to nominate North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, his former opponent in the 2024 presidential race, as Interior Secretary. Earlier in the day, Trump tapped Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his choice for the next Health and Human Services Secretary. Kennedy has been one of the nation’s most outspoken vaccine skeptics and a Covid-19 conspiracy theorists. "For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump said in a statement today. “HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives,” added Trump.

GOP Senate Judiciary Chair Noncommittal When First Asked About Gaetz

The House Ethics Committee was due to meet this week to vote on releasing a report about Matt Gaetz, who resigned from Congress on Wednesday after President-elect Donald Trump announced he will nominate Gaetz for attorney general, according to two sources familiar with the discussions.

The Justice Department ultimately decided last year not to pursue criminal charges against him. Plus, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat who could be part of a confirmation hearing - if one is held - speaks to Anderson aboutTrump's cabinet picks and staff nominations so far. Also, former Trump friend Geraldo Rivera gives his take on the recent appointees, quite a few of whom are former Fox colleagues and guests. Learn more about your ad choices.

No challenge tonight to Marco Rubio who said Trump and his family paid a huge price to be in politics any idiot knows he got in as a grift, he and his family especially Jared profited enormously. I knew CNN had shifted but expected a tiny bit better.

I’ve been a devoted watcher and podcast listener of CNN since the early 80s but can no longer listen to the lies it now allows to be spewed from its shows. The “both sides-ism” is just an excuse for the new CNN boss to allow Trump apologists to spew lies. Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon were my must-watches daily but Lemon is gone and Anderson is allowing lies to be promoted by pundits in his show and I can’t even finish listening to Chris Sununu’s lies in today’s episode. Bye, Anderson and CNN - I hope CNN cease to be its current platform for lies and return to a truthful, even keel in the future. I hope Jim Acosta and Caitlin Collins leave and get their own shows elsewhere.
