thanks very much for joining us this morning ii'm maria bartiromo tuesday, january 7, 8:01 east coast we kick off this hour with hot topic of the hour, meta, pulling a 180 on censorship, ahead of president-elect trump's second term grady trimble in washington. >> good morning major changes that meta says will make facebook instagram threads places free speech thrives here is a big ones meta will end third party fact-checking program in the united states

instead moving to a community notes program similar to x, the company is lifting restrictions on certain topics immigration and gender identity or transissues, also increasing political content for those wanting it meta moving moderation safety team from california to texas to avoid political bias as well company ajdz too much harmless content senatored using automated system not using those to monitor for all policy violations, but only to scan for illegal what it called high severity violations terrorism child sexual exploitation scams mark zuckerberg announceded in a video posted to instagram meta new head of global affairs joel kaplan tells fox first only tv interview since take job blamed president biden and administration for trying to

control content on social media. >> when you have a u.s. president administration, that is pushing for censorship, it makes it open season for other governments around the world, that won't have proekts first amendment to put pressure on u.s. companies we are going to work with president trump to push back on that kind of thing around the world. >> adding dana white two others to its board uscceo a close friend of president-elect trump with additions of kaplan white plus changes to content moderations meta a signaling a shift to more expression legals censorship on its platforms. maria: that is good we like that that is good grady thank you grady trimble, mark that is all you want from reaction. mark: great i mean look the tide turned when you think of like all these big tech companies not just meta but long been some of the biggest donors, of the democrats over

the course of the last several election cycles, suddenly now a lot of big tech companies colluding meta attempting to appear apolitical i think some are actually genuine about it, as well. and i think as relates to meta they are doing a good job of reading the room, when we all remember the twitter files suppress conservative voices amplify liberal voices censorship, of tweets, cancellation accounts, none has been tolerated the american people have responded you look 59 the most rent presidential election, you look at election being across the board obviously, americans and canadiens, and people across the globe, are really beginning to dig heeldz heels in bush against far left policies that have failed is over the course of the last several years >> that is right also validates so much, what elon musk has done, joe by

acquiring, twitter, turning into it x, opening up free speech, changing the whole dynamic of social media. they are doing the community notes. validates elon musk and work at x. >> even more to that point, i think back to 2020, it was november 2020 right after 2020 election, when jack dorsey former president of twitter, and mark zuckerberg were testifying before congress, doubling down on efforts to mitigate what they labeled as misinformation, mark zuckerberg basically said the goal of facebook to make sure that people have reliable information about election, meaning that if goal of facebook to a regular what people sea politically 180 degree departure part of me does agree with mark his really just reading the room at the end of the day, we are only asking facebook meta to do what most the inheritance think the right thing none

want terrorists beheadings child porn, playing fargo should have been reference point for where facebook other tech companies begin with regulations what we see hear not getting into the politics, and sort of regulation of other media companies it was facebook other companies that barred "new york post" reporting on hunter biden's laptop, that is how we got here in the first place. maria: great point we have been watching and witnessing this incredible change in front of our faces, i mean remember this whole cancel culture we lived through things are completely o pivoting with a new sheriff in town and a change in washington. we are just getting started this hour, we will take a break. when we come back congress officially certifies the 2024 election yesterday, setting the stage for trump and his agenda, as president-elect reconsiders reconciliation bill, roger marshall this is

protect. maria: welcome back president-elect donald trump to meet with senate republicans tomorrow in washington to discuss strategy to execute his agenda, house speaker mike johnson told meal he wants to have one big reconciliation package complete by april, as trump then told hugh hewitt he understands pushback keeping options each. >> well, i favor one bill i also want to get everything passed, and you know there are some people that don't necessarily agree with it some, that also my preference is one big as i say one big, beautiful bill, now to do that takes longer, now with that

being said, we get some border work done a little bit earlier et cetera, et cetera, the border work we have a lot of money that we're going to be clawing back from the green new scam i prefer one but i will do whatever needs to be done to get it passed, and, you know, we have a lot of respect for senator thune as you know, he may have a little bit of a different view of it. i heard other senators yesterday including lindsey talking about it they prefer it if other way i am open to the way as long as we get something passed quickly as possible. >> yes, because lindsey graham senator from south carolina told me he is worried about one package, joining me with his views kansas senator roger marshall a membert senate budget finance -- and health committees senate doge caucus cofounding member senator great to see you if you so much for being here this morning. >> maria happy new year

regarding reconciliations this is going to be president trump's call but listen there are two paths often that you can take two routes to get to the same goal i think what senators need to be carefully though we have empathy look at house side, 34 years in the house speaker johnson says only way to get impel through one big, beautiful bill we need to listen to him. i think that he is a little bit situation with congress members from new york care about that salt tax deduction if part of reconciliation kill care debt limit no one talking about that in ridges bill going to border the border is sweetener i would for any republican willing no, not vote for a bill that including border security. >> great point you hit on two hot spots salt, and debt ceiling you are in that meeting tomorrow with president trump, so, i mean,

are you going to do say to him, mr. president maybe there is a little too much in this bill? i meanive spoken with senators who say there is no way i am voting for raising the debt ceiling ron johnson told me no, i am not voting "yes" on that i also spoke with others like senator lindsey graham said you are going to have a hard time getting me to vote to lift salt deduction cap two things are going to be right there, and isn't that too much for one bill? >> well, we will see. again i am going back to speaker johnson good friend doing a great job. that he says they already got a bill almost done as far as tax package making trump tax cuts permanent so let's take a look at that he says he can get it done by april we thought probably june or july, look. if i was in charge of just senate i totally understand we have package ready on funding border security do it emergency permits money

military maybe focus on that house on tax cuts two roads at the same time right a budget reconciliation bill allow both to go down at the same time president trump will may play call away we go let's make america great again. maria: i want to get to health in a second you are a doctor i am getting your take on make america that real-time let me end on subject with this, because, there is a real worry, that if you don't do tax cuts early on you are not going to do tax cuts; right? and the worry there is that, this uncertainty of taxes, for the markets business, is going to mean, that the gop losses the majority, and in secretary two years democrats in control the second two years of trump's term he is going to have a attacks nonstop from democrats including getting impeached everyday do you feel that is realistic. >> i do think realistic i think this is why you hear

ways and means jason submitting says house of representatives they get elections every two years, senator every six years if i had my way, if it was just senate i would bite this in two big bites extra efforts on trump tax cuts reconciliation part of the bill, but i hear speaker johnson i hear chairman smith loud and clear they think we have to have the border bill on there to get everyone's buy-in on taxes we see tight majority over there we need to support them but what i appreciate about president trump inviting both arguments inviting the debate as i was with him a week ago oversighting the debate will make play call then we need to execute it. >> let me move to what trump is saying, the president-elect is accusing the current president biden of sabotaging white house transition making changes on the way out president trump posted on truth social biden doing

everything possible to make a transition as difficult as possible lawfare to cold of ridiculous executive orders, money wasting hoaxes president trump announcing last minute ban on new offshore oil and gas drilling yesterday? two weeks before inauguration across more than 600 million aishs resetling detainees this morning "the wall street journal" reporting negotiating with taliban to ref three american prisoners in exchange for high level al-qaeda official. are you kidding me? >> this is a slap in the face of 77 million americans who voted for president trump americans are going to remember this they will remember in two years going to remember in four years that joe biden has been a petty loser, whoever making play calls in white house they are petty legislators this flies in face every americans if i

mentioned this theed what irks, i think folks in kansas president trump pardon ong people for crimes not charging with in heart americans know that is wrong the other issue banning off shore drilling, he is giving of shoveling billions out the door, before president trump gets in there giving us even larger debt of really impacting our treasurys in bond market you are right making it darn hard for president there but i can't wait till we get him inaugurated try to reconcile all these issues. >> one thing you've been working on making america halt you are launching the make america healthy again caucus tell us what you are hoping to accomplish you are a doctor you yourself what changes do you want to see for america's healthcare. >>, so, so excited about this working on 40i9 years i found people bobby kenji, jr., dr. oz having discussions, with leaders, what exactly does make america healthy look like

europe, that are perfectly fine in america for our children to eat. >> you think 70% health determinants determined by which you eat environment as well. right now he some approved 40, 50 yearsog we need to revisit we got people in line to do it i am excited. >> before you go do you believe bobby ken ie, jr., will get confirmed by senate do you believe all nominees get through. >> you know i do at that point in time i think we saw tide shift, when pete hegseth stood up to legislation media bob indy don't agree originally that is okay. we have those considerations i think he will get confirmed he is a powerful personality, ready to make big changes for america he is ready to make america healthy, americans ready for that as well. maria: senator we will watch your work so appreciate your time. thank you, sir. >> thank you roger marshall in

steel workers union president and ceo of cleveland cliffs we spoke with of teaming up to block the transactions. lorenzo told me just a few moments ago, after his company failed to acquire u.s. steel last august, that he is seeing a change in the backdrop of the steel industry. he also last august told ruz reuters he narpd at least nine calls that president biden would scuttle the any on an steel merger lorenzo defended himself on this program. . >> are you prepared to move your bid up are you prepared if nippon doesn't go through to make another bid at much higher price? >> not much -- i am not, simply, changes, the backdrop of the market chain we have a

new president coming to town, and coming what they are trying to two is -- trump said right away that the deal would be blocked immediately. >> pep trump weighed in on this plan merger with me on "sunday morning futures". >> i saved steel companies japan buying u.s. steel you know what a name that is the most important name. 50 years ago there was no company like u.s. steel japan are is buying it i don't think i am letting that deal go through, by the way,. >> joining me now is chairman ceo of zekelman industries barry zekelman, zekelman largest independent steel and tube manufacturer in north america barry great to see you this morning thank you for being here access backdrop. what is your reaction to what you heard from the ceo of cleveland cliffs, here on this program a few moments ago.

>> a lot to unpack maria, join the club, i sued u.s. government last year to enforce trade laws, is to, you know seems like a common theme. you know obviously, there is a big fight, on both parts here there is emotional issue with u.s. steel obviously, iconic u.s. company, leader in the industry for many, many decades. and i think one has to ask why are we here how did we get here what are we going to do it? we are here because of failed trade policy i mean u.s. steel is in a position of what their claiming now up desperation they need to make a move, the steel industry is fighting for theirs can say existence steel industry is nothing without consumer base people like myself are being eroded jumping to mexico being constantly impacted by unfairly traded imports

without us those steel companies don't exist u.s. steel claiming nippon investments are needed, remember, u.s. steel made tremendous investments in their facilities built the river 1.5 billion dollars with equipment that they were going to put in the valley waited three years, to get an air permit from pennsylvania they couldn't so moved that equipment, to arkansas built big river two, vested in fasts continue to do that they don't need to rely on an acquisitions from a foreign integrity to save that company we need long term comprehensive trade policies that sports o american manufacturers american companies american communities, instead of us exporting conscious over seize to deal with companies that pollute environment abuse labor abuse currency manipulation nippon isn't going to save u.s. steel

without a lot of those things happening. >> a great point. >> there is a lot to unmask. maria: so then barry do you support then pe fed trump's plan to o impose tariffs on steel? he is threatening to impose tariffs on china canada mexico, a proposed 25% import tariffs could upend the usmca trade deal and he said look that is my goal, because, we put that deal together six years ago he put in amendment in this saying i can redo in six years exactly what he is going to do you do want to see tariffs on japanese feel expanding in overseas steal coming in in order for u.s. market productive and protected. >> i do, i don't think canada is a problem we operate with same iron ore same scrap, the companies are owned by u.s. companies i think tariff issue with canada is more centered

around the border. mexico is a problem, right, mexico has become a backdoor to china other countries, you see the massive tens of millions square foot plants there you hear almost daily the companies relocating the mexico to do what? i mean why? better climate there? thinking in cheap steel cheap startsing using usmca as a guise at our sxens american companies' expends employees spence communities compensates american taxpayers those tax dollars dispare i support broad-based tariffs bad based quotas not asking for handouts don't want disregards no one is asking for a grant we are asking for, is a comprehensive long term trade policy when healthy and strong we don't get rug pulled out from under us like we have for the past four decades, i have between in this industry years watched

it happen. >> is that going to be enough, are to keep a company like u.s. steel independent? have i mean, obviously, they need scale. they are looking to nippon steel what happens do you think it gets acquired. >> well, i think that remember what happened u.s. steel got put in play someone approached them to buy them; right? it pass noted nippon wasn't cliffs read proxy it was someone else, so that got into play u.s. steel had a fiduciary duty response to get best that is what they did i don't think plans to sell company that wasn't endgame their endgame to grow and maybe quiche u.s. steel has a bright future has the ability to do that, if they are given a solid ground to perform on, where we are not abused i say we, the consumer, u.s. steel other steel makers in america by companies abuse us abusing

our trade laws. that needs to stop. >> automakers probably don't want to see larger steel companies they are afraid that you are going to control the price, and push it higher. >> well, maria, what is the price of a car today? okay? 40,000 dollars? the price, there is one kind of steel that goes into a car, steel today is selling on index for 700 dollars a pound, so if price of steal went up to a thousand dollars a ton, 300 days are a carr last i checked i see the incentives all over thousands of dollars, that argument is kind of doesn't hold water so enough there, let's put that one to bed, stop it. okay? you are not going to make these cars with foreign stool if u.s. steel industry isn't here, everything happens in this economy with steel. you are not building a data center not power grid not solar farm not nuclear plant not building lmg plant not building a hospital a school a

food processing planted or railroad so it is national security, we need a strong steel industry here, and we need to do the right things to once and for all stop decades of abuse that we've had in this industry, we should be the leader. japan hardly made any steel 40 years ago china made nothing, now 1.3 billion tons? u.s. steel industry is the leader in the world should have been and we should have been the 300, 400 million top producer but shopped it a i away with failed trade policies. time is up. president trump understands it, maria said 30 years ago in -- >> you are right, you are right barry great to get your insights important points that i make this morning, we so appreciate you joining us we would like to follow up with you come back soon, please, sir. >> any time, thank you, maria i appreciate it. maria: barry zekelman joining us this morning, on this ongoing battle we will be right back.

personally censored falls lao cruised they of climate denyism i have not done a pattern we see governments, others often funded by george soros spreading dismisinformation and demanding censorship an basis of that what happened with hunter biden laptop falsely claimed that it was russian disinformation then demand censorship on the basis of that so it is good to see this from zuckerberg, i think worth pointing out the he has demand free speech in the past, then been pressured into greater censorship, this is all coming at a moment renewed accusations of foreign interference by europe governments i think important up to the moment but the hesitant to can you be the chickens before they hatched.

>> i understand that, goes even way beyond, the hunter biden laptop. it started with russia collusion all political, with russia collusion i thought made up i didn't believe it at all, i got canceled, i got attacked, it was all political. michael. >> that is right, maria. first of all, bravo to you you were ahead of me certainly on russia collusion hoax one of the worst conspiracy theories disinformation, that undermined president trump's first term abuse of power by fbi and cia troubling we still have not got all information on it, so you know look i just think in a moment where, there is a huge backlash going on around the world against mass migration i think that is ultimately, what could end up in regime change so to speak

france german any britain just like we've seen in italy, so i think that, you know, free ask expression is essential for political life, and for democracy. and they have i think europeans in particular but some extent the democrats in united states have depended on censorship depended on being able to control the information that people are allowed to hear did dependent on ability to spread information so cautiously optimistic but could be looking at new day not just for media and free speech but also for what happens in the political life. maria: have a would be wonderful you mentioned migration a great point, because the issue of illegal immigration is an issue across the world not just united states you've got a piece out on how european governments trying to make the case to senator elon musk, posts on x,

governments klaining claiming unfairly interfering in international relations. >> yesterday we saw macron nor away's prime minister also prime minister britain, all falsely accusing elon musk of interfering in elections, that hasn't happened. also by german any also made that accuses that hasn't happened, what they are referring to have are elon musk's posts on x, and op-ed in german paper falsely accusing him of this i think could be prelude to more demands for censorship. >> great work we so appreciate your time that you will you are doing thank you, sir. . >> quick break more strikes america's ports, talks are going on, between international longshoreman's association and u.s. maritime

good morning, maria. . >> this is a tough one, yuns don't want automation we know we need automation to compete with the left of the world. >> global container, in existence 20 years in 2012 u.s. -- implementation of automation, significant tribe consultation, only partial automation is allowed and there is understanding that those -- impact so i think existing is enough to protect the interests of all involved here, i really don't see how more specific can be done because every port is different. >> they want more money they want better benefits do you think they will get more? >> they get -- i think they've got the wages already, i don't

think that is going to change. the issue now is how do we move forward serving the rights to make portals more efficient, capacity, in most efficient way protecting existing, i don't think anyone orchestra i don't think no evidence in terminal to automate, that any union job lost i think process make term naturalizing more efficient. >> if a deal not reached next week could see a strike five days before president-elect trump's inauguration what do you think. >> i don't know how in eight days, in 7th of january i don't know how eight days more can be developed, so that

local unions management can bring up a proposal for technology committee, done that way because does seem one port to every port works differently. so i -- i think the best alternative to stepped current wording in the contract as i said, significant effective potentially have a discussion over next year or so, about maybe, other ways to approach i believe everybody is interested, things that we have to preserve right to automate -- so, again, i think we should keep that as part of the toolbox.

unfortunate part, the impact, that it is -- if you look at four to five mainly ports in east coast and gulf operated by states and cities public sector enterprise operate ports container, customers so certainly with amount of investment -- they ought to be allowed to do what they -- >> technology is changing all the time, i say the wording is in place so the next tech comes through perhaps could mean somebody's job is gone? >> well, the wording is in place but i think you would agree with me every new terminal built probably evaluated automation, it is more to say a panacea, it is capital expenditure reduces flexibility in return for some beside people don't always agree on so i don't think the

future holds that every terminal is going to be automated. maria: great point great to have you this morning. thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> anymore newsom joining is stay with us we will be right back you are watching "mornings with maria" live on "fox business".
