to americans i applaud this president energy, and the fact, plumbers liberal media don't know what to focus on that is good too. maria: they don't, just let me say two focuses we've got to get to this morning that is scott bessent will be confirmed, as treasury secretary, likely this morning, as president trump stops in las vegas over weekend proposing sending nearly 90,000 irs agents hired under joe biden to southern border the report found that more than 90% aggregation audits between 2019 and 2023 were on taxpayers making less than 400,000 dollars a year, president trump's treasury will take this up confirmed by senate likely today, i would expect questions about the crypto legislation how he sees digital assets how he sees,

sanctions as well. cheryl: right case proposals about digital dollar thousand keep dollar globally strong continues always will be reserve currency but crypto markets, this idea that you bring in and make a bank of crypto assets bitcoin under purview government, remember during bessent nomination hearing confirmation hearings ditching president trump's stance on tariffs. this saturday, february 1 could i see tariffs lobbed on to mexico, canada, also want to pick up one thing brooke was colombia story would be bes of a larger pies participating in last week in davos world leaders nations are now on notice, that this administration and this

president is serious, when it is european union members, nato members not paying fair share or whether it is those on northern southern parts of our nation, that are not protecting our borders, the world is on notice with this president. maria: why colombia situation was important because it was first test, is trump going to do this he sure did, let me tell you analyst the analyst at cowen and company this morning said while possible we would be surprised if a 25% tariff went into effect on saturday, with canada and mexico, he thinks we will have a stay until march 1 or april 1 most likely along with focus on usmca renegotiation president trump put that amendment nsmca when he did the feel five years ago said i can look at it change it six years later if i need to, we will see if he holds to that threat or if in fact uses it as time to renegotiate, before

allowing minority 47 democrats to run the table on hearings. >> well what we've seen is minority using ever trick in the book try to slow us down dramaticallyly we would have been much further along even trump's first term clearly obama's first term, we had 12 cabinet members see this first 15 days, what we saw happen in trump's first term resistance movement applied procedural muzzle slowed us down we returned favor joe biden positionings thune offered to motive back to more normal, as we have gone through massive poli gyrations, democrats came to agreement to let us move bestent later today going to push through grinding through there is no reason, to be slowing all of this down particularly when you think

national security crises we fate of as a nation american public want us to get work expect trump on the case democrats.org they can o to slow things down. maria: how much confidence a string of confirmations the end of this week what about pam bondi? you are right to mention national security issues that is why i -- you know, talked about this with such urgency, we've got serious national security issues, the president needs his team on the ground. >> certainly we do, pam bondi is just a top priority, nominee for us, she will get confirmed there is no question about that, getting pam, getting kash patel into position to deal with national security crises threats we face is absolutely critical she is high priority in first wave she will go i have every reason to expect in a bipartisan basis, we got to get democrats to realize this start to work more closely american public expects it. maria: your colleagues in the house, kicking off this

american people voted, president trump won every single battleground state landslide in o electoral college won popular vote these are vehicles will allow changes to occur, i hope we get their support. of course president trump continues to talk about this bold agenda, i want to get your take on thing, like, the gulf of america the idea of panama canal, agree landed new ideas the external revenue sr., i thought brilliant, to come up with ideas, and to house fees tariff revenue talking about here is your colleague, leader of the majority leader u.s. senate with me yesterday john thune, watch. >> what are you looking for in terms of specification in bulking up america's defense. >> obviously, our navy, look at number of ships relative to adversaries particularly he

cline something president is interested in american iron dome accept the thy we've got to increase top line we have under fund, a biden budget wasn't a signing biden budget kept up with rate of inflation when it comes to military we've got making up to do. i think there is a very compelling argument on panama very compelling argument on greenland optimism haven't seen a sluggish country bogged down in government regulation red tape taxation. >> how will you address all that. >> certain focused on process going to move through right now to make certain military is adequately foundedive grad great conversations with elon musk what we can do from a operational efficiency standpoint new technologies making certain most relevant technologies available in the private sector are deployed in military. the focus is going to be back

on, fevens not pronounce at pentagon pete hegseth has that message i am excited in terms of new technologies ways to make america's, be most lethal in world the ongoing effort from legislative standpoint, operational efforts taking place with department government efficiencies need to come to bear in phil force prompter xs didn't of defense making certain military in great position as possibly can to deliver for american people. maria: what assets do you want to see to get all this done? interesting to to to look at cline in particular given that is the that is the adversary that you all have talked about talked about everyday, would scott bessent support capital markets sanctions against chinese corporate bad actors trading on our u.s. exchanges day enimageing americans to

fund expansion growth even though number one adversary of america? what else can be done regarding china, senator? >> i think so much that can be done regarding china accessing accessing cap markets one the chinese companies golden share arrangements you know what golden share is minority stake chinese government ccp, has control of, that can be a veto for any corporate action that one might take they have control over bytedance over tencent, it is amazing that these companies are allowed to list here american public does not understand the stents of control, that chinese communist party has over industries yet allowed to come here take capital from our markets most efficient capital markets in the world a situation entirely unfair from a corporate government standpoint there are many case i think psychologist bessent can look at critical issues i hope address quickly. >> are you expecting debt ceiling on the table, in

march? thata in that funding bill how do you address, the debt that we talk about, so much where you've got interest rising so much more than some of our major priorities, like defense, like children? >> president trump wants to do that dealt with quickly as possible in the past always used by democrats cudgel to dpoers more spending, disaster relief for california or those we need to deal with it up front quickly effectively not let this become a hurdle to get other things accomplished. >> we are watching closely so appreciate your tiefrm and leadership thank you, sir. . >> thank you. >> bill hagerty stocks are selling off, this morning, kicking off a week of tech earnings and fed take a look. we are looking at chip makers facing heat after a new chinese a.i. modeled
