Good morning, everyone. I'm Chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels. It is Wednesday, January 22nd.

And here's what's driving the day. Tonight, Fox News will air the first Oval Office interview of President Donald Trump's second term, a pre-recorded sit-down with

Sean Hannity that will air at 9 p.m. And Trump will have plenty to talk about Washington, D.C.

is still digging out from the avalanche of executive orders. He signed during his first 40 or so

hours on the job. And then there are the pardons of the participants in the January 6th insurrection,

the giant hundreds of billions of dollars splash of investment in the U.S. announced yesterday

by Open AI SoftBank in Oracle, and the coming promised immigration rates that have many immigrants

in big blue cities living on the edge.

And then there's the action on the hill as Trump seeks a way forward with his sweeping policy agenda,

and the Senate zeroes in on confirming more of his cabinet picks. Joining me now to talk about that last bit in what we can expect from the confirmation

that will be the talk of the town today and in the days ahead is

Congress reporter Jordan Carney. Good morning, Jordan. Thanks for having me on.

Thanks so much for coming on. You are the woman with all the information on these confirmation

hearings of one of the biggest stories in Washington, D.C., maybe for a few months. We have some new information from last night on Pete Hex-Seth.

One, we saw that there was an affidavit from his former sister-in-law,

but there's information on his actual kind of nomination process that is out there as well.

Yeah, so the technicals of the Senate, they are going to move forward with his nomination,

Senate Majority Leader John Zoom filed culture, which is to say they'll do a first vote

on him on Thursday afternoon-ish.

And then they will, you know, if all goes well for him, he'll be

confirmed Friday night.
