by god especially after that assassination attempt in butler, pennsylvania not to mention the second one in florida. >> bill: there have been some kind of events over the past 24 hours alone, dana. and for our audience who has been watching for the past two hours we tried to recall as many as we could based on the images and pictures and sounds from yesterday. there were many more we just didn't -- don't have time to get to. but we are in a new phase, america. we'll see how it goes for all of us together. >> dana: then we'll have a little more from president trump later as well. you will have national prayer service. possible meeting of congressional leaders with president trump and likely hear from him later as well. a big day ahead and harris "the faulkner focus" will take you through the next hour. here she is. >> harris: it is president trump's first full day in the white house again. right now he is set to attend

the national prayer service at the national cathedral and we're watching. we understand the motorcade is underway. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." as promised the president made big moves immediately. we'll scroll them because there are many. he signed executive orders and took dozens of actions which covered illegal immigration, gender, dei, the tiktok ban, energy independence and much more. some of the bills are omnibus so they contain several of these executive actions and orders. some very direct words to a cheering crowd at the capital one arena yesterday. >> president trump: we'll sign some orders right now. that's really what i want to do. [cheers and applause] we'll sign executive orders. first i'll revoke nearly 80 destructive and radical

executive actions of the previous administration. one of the worst administrations in history. >> harris: the "new york post" cover echoes his words, golden age of america. "time" magazine with this online animated cover which you can see trump sliding back up to the resolute tax and pushing everything off of it like i don't need this stuff. where is mine? his team wasted no time wiping biden from the white house's official website. the site declares america is back on the home page. also as promised trump has launched a crackdown on illegal immigration. this was immediate like right at midnight. he declared a national emergency at our southern border and ended birthright citizenship. he stopped former president joe biden's controversial cbp one app that allows people to fly into the country from outside our border. now they don't tell us who is coming in so that was part of the problem, a big part of the

problem that led to biden's border crisis. the el paso port of entry is temporarily closed. so you can't come into the country that way any longer. fox spoke with some texans who are applauding trump's efforts. >> we want protection at the border. if we can't protect our borders what's the point of having them? >> i want to see the wall finished. >> border security is what i would like for him to do. >> the border wall is a necessary solution. >> we saw a lot of success in the border patrol under his last two years in his first term. i expect that to continue. >> i believe in him and i believe he will finish it. >> harris: senior white house correspondent peter doocy is live at the white house. i've never seen anything like an inauguration that had policy signing as part of the ceremony. amazing. >> policy signings and arena

full of people cheering at his signature on a piece of legislation. it was remarkable. we're told for the first full day the president's big event will have to do with infrastructure at 4:00. no further details yet. the president is focused on the border. expect deportation raids as soon as today. he signed an order classifying foreign drug cartels as terrorist organizations. >> president trump will the cartels now be seen as foreign terrorists? what do you think of using special forces into mexico to take them out? >> president trump: could happen. stranger things have happened. >> the bulky bunch of day one orders who pardons and commutations for 1500 people convicted of crimes during the

capitol riots. >> president trump: they've been in jail for a long time already. i see murders get two years, one year, no time. they've already been in jail for a long time. >> the press pool was let into the oval office a couple minutes after the president returned and we learned that he didn't even have enough time before we came in to check on a long-standing tradition that presidents pass along to their successors. >> did president biden leave you a letter? >> president trump: he may have. wait. don't they leave it in the desk? i don't know. oh. thank you, peter, it could have been years before we found it. wow. thank you. >> say anything on the outside >> president trump: maybe we should all read it together. i'll read it first and then make that determination. >> sounds great. >> president trump: peter, thank you very much. i may not have seen it for

months. >> glad to help with the passing of the torch. >> president trump: i left him one in the desk like this. >> we haven't seen the letter. he will tell us what's in it someday. in the limo riding from here to the capitol he and president biden talked about unifying the country. something else on cabinet hill. cabinet confirmations continue. secretary of state rubio was sworn in. >> harris: keeping the promise of getting things going quickly with the help of congress. thank you, peter. a new op-ed with the title the breathtaking promises in trump's address are just what the nation wants. a recent national poll backs that claim up when it comes to the border actions in particular. it found majorities support deporting all illegal immigrants because illegality happens when you cross. you know when you are not being vetted. you know when you are not

supposed to be here. illegal immigrants who arrived more than the last four years and the illegal immigrants with criminal records are out. a majority oppose ending birthright citizenship for people born to illegal im granulitis in the united states. still 41% support it. power panel now. jeremy hunt, veterans on duty chairman and former army intelligence captain and brad howard, corcoran street group president. great to see you both. brad, start with you. democrats now are part of some of the expeditiousness on capitol hill, i would bet. if not only spec tate ores. >> when you look at marco rubio confirmed by unanimous vote in the senate. he is one of their own but clearly qualified for this position and i think bernie sanders and elizabeth warren

down the line voted to support or confirm his nomination. there is a willingness, i think, to work with the incoming president. a very different moment than 2017 where a lot of democrats questioned the legitimacy of the win. you can't question the legitimacy of this won. he won. >> harris: i won't go too far down the road of question legitimacy of wins. a place that's a rabbit hole. i'm surprised you would bring it up. elections are elections and you have to act accordingly. let's move on. >> i meant it as a good thing. >> all americans are waking up this morning excited. president trump made promises on day one he would get control of the border, bring in national crisis that biden started. we're finally seeing a president who makes promises and keeps those promises. he has a mandate. he is acting on that. you saw that with removing the cbp one app.

bringing in all sorts of people into our country. we don't know where they are coming from. declared a emergency at the border so we can get more resources there. also as peter mentioned putting -- designating the cartels at foreign terrorists organizations. they are. it should have been done a long time ago. now we have more resources to attack the cartels. i'm excited. a lot of americans are realizing we finally have a commander-in-chief putting america first on day one. >> harris: president trump yesterday announced moves he says will bring down prices for americans. let's watch. >> president trump: the inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices. and that is why today i will also declare a national energy emergency. we will drill, baby, drill. the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on earth and

we are going to use it. we are going to use it. [applause] we will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again right to the top, and export american energy all over the world. >> harris: and the president also took a host of actions rolling back biden's initiatives. trump says are an enormous burden on the consumer. he got rid of the electric vehicle mandate. he stopped the off shore wind farm leasing of federal waters, and rolled back energy efficiency regulations for showerheads. you get in the shower and can't get the soap off because it comes out like a trickle. you end up letting the water run longer so you use more water. washing machines, gas stoves, also those restrictions mandated. no more mandates. he also withdrew the united states from the paris climate

accord. the washington street -- i'll come to you both just to get your quick reactions on that. brad, back to you first. >> yeah, paris climate accord what i hope the president does is every president wants to put their own take on international agreements and the presidency. what i hope he does, though, is try to find a balance between these inconveniences that the biden administration put on the american people. i think the problem with the democratic position on climate change is that we unfairly expect the average american to bear an undue burden when you have places like china and others that are the greater emitters. i think we have to address the warming climate. but there is international treaties. the result is going to be massive migration based on areas that run out of water or become too intolerable. we have to address them in the

long run. short term what he is doing is political gold. >> harris: some of those countries need to start figuring things out on their own. >> with all the policies there will be a winner and loser. the winner the united states of america. the loser are our enemies like the chinese communist party. the paris climate accord china is emitting more of these pollutants into the air than anybody else in the world and so if we will actually have -- >> harris: i wanted to let everybody know. they can see it playing out at the bottom of the screen. the president on his first full day in office now donald trump and the first lady melania trump have just arrived along with the vice president and second lady, if you will, the vances are there. this is the national cathedral in washington, absolutely a beautiful occasion. a traditional prayer service. the national prayer service which is about to take place. the cathedral is saying in this

special service the cathedral will gather with our interfaith and ecumenical partners to seek god's guidance in the years ahead. you have heard this particular president talk more about faith in the last seven or eight months than you had in his previous presidency or any other time in his public life after surviving two assassination attempts. you have heard trump talk about the possibility that he was allowed to stay here on this planet, i'm paraphrasing to some degree. that it was god's will it happened and he acknowledges and has thanked all the people across the country who might have been worried and praying for him that he would get to this point. politics aside, it was the survivability of attempts on his life. the national prayer service is about to begin and we'll take a quick break. we'll be right back.

>> harris: we're going to check back in quickly. the national prayer service that is going on right now. as we showed you just before the commercial break, the family had just shown up. you can see members of the family behind the president, vice president, first and second lady and so we'll continue to watch this. it hasn't really gotten underway yet at the national cathedral in washington. ecumenical all faith there, a beautiful traditional post inauguration day ceremony. all right. >> president trump: i was surprised that president biden would go and pardon his whole family. he will have to live with that. with that being said, it is

unbelievable precedent it creates for a president. i think it makes biden look very bad, very weak and very guilty. >> harris: well, that's some of the concern among a wider group outside of the tight circle around biden and his cronies. the wider position of some in the democratic party is it weakens their stance on what the policies and everything should be going forward because they are concentrating on this weird legacy move by him. there is a massive backlash at president biden overall on this 11th hour, last 19 minutes of him being president. can you even imagine he waited until then? he also preemotionively pardoned general mark milley, dr. anthony fauci. i don't think that was a shocker and members of the january 6th committee. former clinton pollster mark penn says democrats are blown

away by biden. >> doing this with his own family at this 11th hour is clearly at least in the minds of the democrats i'm talking to going to make it even harder to criticize donald trump for using the pardon power because of what joe biden did on his way out the door. >> after the elections are over, even your family itself after hiding and lying about everything that occurred relative to the biden business. i think this further takes him down in the history books. >> harris: it's clear, i mean, it should be america first. i think democrats are worried they weren't first in biden's mind. a new op-ed with the title here is why anthony fauci needed a pardon. it argues while fauci faces criticism for all sorts of things, mostly pushing institutions into overly strict lock downs and mask mandates he may have been in legal trouble it looks like he tried to cover up the origins of covid-19 and his own agency's involvement

with the chinese research on coronaviruss. lisa lisa boothe, you looked so lovely in your bright red dress and all this is going on. democrats have to be upset about it. biden put himself first. >> it was so good to see you at the commander-in-chief ball. you looked stunning. beautiful. i always love seeing you. joe biden is walking out of the white house, walked out of the white house not only a failed president but a corrupt president. we don't even understand the depth of his corruption. a lot of these family pardons i believe were to cover his own tracks. an act of self-preservation. we saw it with the pardon of hunter biden at the time when he joined the board of burisma. the man, joe biden, who repeatedly and routine lie lied to us about his involvement in his son's business dealing. he was selling out the american people to make money on our

backs. but i'm also looking at the anthony fauci pardon as well. look at the damage that that man has done to america. you look in 2020 alone various points of research probably at least 100,000 business closures. he destroyed our economy, trillions of dollars in debt that we're still suffering with the inflation as a result. it was all his guidance all along that led to this death and destruction, overdoses, suicides, students falling permanently behind in school. loved ones that died alone in the hospital because of his guidance. you take a step back and ask why was he guiding us like that all along? the cover his own culpability with the n.i.h. funding at gain-of-function research. >> harris: i lot of people were waiting if there was an apology or something. i don't know if you get that if you don't have the grounds to legally press him. there are some big legal

questions now around the preemptive pardons. some opinion pieces are saying that biden double tapped the constitutional order on his way out the door on biden's last day. one final act of dishonesty and corruption. biden scorns the rule of law with last-day pardons. jonathan turley. >> we're talking about a president who repeatedly lied to the american people. a media that enabled all of this to happen. and at the very end he really fulfilled the worst stereotypes of his legacy. i think that ultimately this is what will be the most lasting aspect of the biden legacy is this corruption. and this was an act of corruption. >> harris: you just talk about burning everything down. that's what he did. his legacy is on the floor. >> yeah, i don't want to hear a single democrat ever call a republican a threat to democracy

again after what we've experienced. this nightmare we've been living in. it feels like we've been living through hell as a country under joe biden. the nightmare that he took us through. yesterday was liberation day as donald trump said. we woke up to a new age in america. the golden age of america. donald trump has walked into the white house, now president for the first time in 20 years a republican has had the popular vote behind him. he has all the juice he needs to get a big agenda done looking at the first 100 days and next year before people start running for re-election again. i am so thankful. feels like our country has been saved. when president trump said that he believes god saved him so he could save america, i believe that with all my heart especially looking at him at the national cathedral today as well. >> harris: great to see you, thank you so much. appreciate it. talking about the expeditiousness with which this is moving. marco rubio is officially our new secretary of state.

that happened earlier this morning. he is president trump's first official cabinet member to be confirmed and sworn in. a complete overhaul of national security leadership is off to the races with more confirmations expected to come soon. plus president trump is getting a lot of credit for his role in the israel/hamas cease-fire deal across the finish line. >> he has already done great work, hamas terrorist organization will see that they have no choice but the release these hostages. >> harris: remember biden thought and talked about that when asked if trump helped he said is that a joke? it is not a joke. the president is pushing to get the other hostages home as soon as possible. the next step trump willfuly back on the world stage as commander-in-chief once again, he is back, world leaders see it. retired marine bomb tech joey jones in "focus" next.

>> harris: president trump's second cabinet has his first official member. former florida senator marco rubio sworn in as secretary of state this morning. the senate u.n.o. -- unanimously confirmed him last night. america's new top diplomat on the work ahead. >> president trump has made it very clear everything we do, this is true in government but especially at the department of state, everything we do must be justified by the answer to one of three questions, does it make us stronger? does it make us safer? does it make us more prosperous? if it doesn't do one of those three things we won't do it. >> harris: senate committees advanced nominations of the president's defense secretary pete hegseth, john ratcliffe. full senate votes could come on

them this week. with ratcliffe's as soon as today. we're perched for this news to break quickly. the president is making headway on his campaign promise to tackle dei in the military. chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin at the pentagon. >> in a surprise announcement this morning coast guard commandant was relieved of duty by president trump's acting secretary of homeland security huffman, a dhs official says she was fired due to a failure to address border security threats, poor recruitment and retention, mismanagement in acquiring key acquisitions like ice breakers and excessive focus on dei and erosion of trust over mishandling and covering-up of an internal investigation involving sexual cases at the coast guard academy. she was the first woman to lead

the coast guard or any branch of the u.s. military. among president trump's first executive orders he declared an emergency at the southern border, ordered active duty u.s. troops to deploy soon and designated drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. he has not ruled out using the u.s. military to reclaim the panama canal. >> president trump: china is operating the panama canal and we didn't give it to china, we gave it to panama and we're taking it back. >> china is not operating the canal. 2500 troops are deployed to the southern border sent last month by the biden administration to provide aerial recon sense, vehicle maintenance and logistical support. in another unprecedented move shortly after noon general mark milley's new portrait of the 20th chairman of the joint chiefs was removed from the hallway where it was unveiled 11

days ago. this morning they were busy taking hooks off the wall and painting over the holes. who gave the orders for them to do that and they said it was above their pay grade. one worker said they were quote told to make it look like the portrait was never there, harris. >> harris: wow, okay. jennifer griffin. thank you. joey jones, retired marine bomb tech who served tours in iraq and afghanistan. all right. what do you make of first of all just the swiftness of this? the military is not known for being different than any other part of the government, hurry up and wait is the mantra. >> yeah, i think the swiftness is indicative of a man who served four years in office and learned a lot of hard lessons and had four years to get ready to come back. the american people may sit here and think that president trump has been working on this since november but the truth is he has

been working on it since january of 2020. and i think that's why he announced as nominee so quickly and why many of them already have plans in place for the day that they get the job. i think you look at things like milley's portrait taken down. i don't understand where jennifer is coming from when seemingly no explanation. the rift is obvious. in trump's eyes whether right or not mark milley is in opposition of what trump believes to be proper leadership for the pentagon and wants to send a message down every hallway of that building just to tell you, the amount of troops we have are about the same as world war ii. the people in the pentagon have times by five. we have five for every one it took to win world war ii. when we say we won world war ii with 74 star generals. that's what he means.

for every active duty service member in the pentagon one to three civilians hired to do the same job. redundancy. you have to send a message quickly and swiftly and one way to do it. >> harris: we need to do a round table on that. i have a lot to say about the civilians. my dad worked at the pentagon and why that out of balance spends more of our money. let's get to this part. on his first day president trump pulled the security clearances of the 51 national security officials who signed on to the now infamous letter which said hunter biden's laptop had quote all the classic earmarks of a russian disinformation operation. that letter came after the "new york post" reportedly had their email showing hunter biden coordinated for then vice president biden to meet with a top executive at ukrainian energy company burisma months

before pressure ukrainian officials. those clearance revoked officials include former director of national intelligence james clapper. former national security advisor john bolton. first of all u trump is not kidding around with this. this is a stab at more than just their clearances. a lot of people clear them for lives and go on tv and spout their messaging with clearances. we don't know where they are getting their information. not potentially we know exactly where they are getting it. >> yeah, i think that this is in line with the changes at the pentagon. i think he is sending a message across the intelligence community. your job is not to be involved in domestic politics. it is make sure other countries aren't involved in domestic policy but to keep us safe and no what is happening around the world. we live in a posture now as our reach tentacles across the world have shortened and been retracted. you know, some in president

trump's tent say it's the way it needs to be. some in president biden's tent says it is where it needs to be and several say it isn't. the fact is we don't have the reach we had when it comes to knowing what is happening around the world and to think we have an intelligence community that somehow focused on whether or not president trump should be president or hunter biden should be the target of political attacks, doesn't make any sense to begin with. most of those people that signed on weren't currently active but it does send a message that listen, that doesn't need to be your priority. doesn't need to be your focus. what i would have done, i would have tried to have some sort of investigation to ask who wrote this and what are those earmarks you say? it is a fluff paper, right? explain to us and tell us why you saw this as russian -- if you want your credibility back and reputation back, then tell us why was it so obvious to you that this now we know to be complete truth was russian disinformation? if that's the case, does that mean every other time you said

russia helped trump that those were just truths that trump actually was winning me social media and doing things on the up and up? it just destroys their credibility all the way down the line. >> harris: you are nicer than i would have been about it. i wouldn't have given them anything. i would have just wanted the answers. we'll move on. people know that about it. president trump's hell to pay ultimatum is getting a lot of credit for the israel/hamas cease-fire finally taking hold on sunday. that is just phase one. trump now says he is not confident about the next two phases that were negotiated, four more hostages are due to be released this saturday and the first three were freed the day before he took office. emotional photographs show their tearful family reunions after more than 15 months in captivity. god bless them. president trump's nominee for united nations ambassador stefanik is at her senate confirmation and she said this. >> we need to stay committed to

insuring every hostage is brought home. i've met with many hostage families. this position we need to be a voice of morale clarity on the u.n. security council and united nations at large for the importance of standing with israel. i intend to do that. >> harris: the next united nations ambassador likely, elise stefanik. your reaction. >> i think just back to this treaty, this deal, this peace agreement i guess it would be a cease-fire, i was not -- i didn't have as much faith in two and three. hamas had the hostages, the support of iran and other groups and then they had the international community. that band-aid has been ripped off. gaza is reduced to rubble. tens of thousands of palestinians that have died in this and that -- the idea the

international community will pressure israel is long gone and that ship sailed. the trump administration coming in and they will take away that support from iran and other groups, i really believe that. they know the threats from the trump administration are real. all you have left are the hostages. what is hamas going to gain by getting rid of all of them. tougher to get hostages as we go forward. >> harris: thank you for being in "focus." good to see you. >> yes, ma'am, thank you. >> harris: the senate passed the laken riley act last night. the bill is designed to crack down on illegal immigrant crime. the illegality of them being in the country. democrats voted yes. president trump will meet with republican congressional leadership today. >> it is a different trump. he is talking about unity. he has already met with the senate now three times. talking about how we all have to work together. how he looks forward to working together. he has even said this multiple

times and him is a total different leadership style than he had before. >> harris: the first item on the docket doge, the department of government efficiency and reducing the scope of our federal government. senator tim scott will be in the room for that and he is in "focus" next.

>> harris: let's go to capitol hill. president trump is meeting with congressional leadership this afternoon talking about the path forward for his agenda. senate kick started immigration reform passing the laken riley act. it will go to his desk. it is named for the georgia nursing student murdered last year allegedly -- found guilty, by an illegal immigrant. 12 democrats crossed the aisle and the house has to align on it and it goes to the president's desk. former dhs official with this. >> this is a huge game changer. it shows how important security is, public safety is putting the american citizens ahead of the interests of illegal aliens. the final thing important it shows a split in the democratic party. a third of the democratic

senators voted for the bill. you wouldn't have seen this even six months or a year ago. it shows this issue has gotten to the democrats that they are thinking about it and there is clearly a split in the party on this. >> harris: it got to them all right. voters didn't like the fact they weren't focused. chad pergram is on capitol hill. chad. >> good morning. democrats are vulnerable on border security and that's why they helped pass the laken riley act last night. the house votes on the plan tomorrow. it was the first big bill before the senate this year. >> president trump: -- >> now is the time to return to common sense and law and orderer. we are a proud nation of immigrants. we are also a nation of laws. and the lawlessness ends today. >> the bill becomes the first plan for president trump to sign into law after it passes the house tomorrow. the gop brass heads to the white house today to meet with the president. >> what are you hoping to get

out of your meeting at the white house today? >> it will be a great meeting. hashing out the remaining strategy for the first 100 days and we're excited about it. >> on the docket for republicans a plan to reduce the scope of government via doge after the election some democrats wanted to work with the gop. democrats from high tax states like new york are encouraged by what president trump said about eliminating the cap on the salt deduction. that refers to state and local taxes. >> we should get rid of the whole damn thing. once and for all. you know what we say to a new salt tax and any salt tax? nfw. that's what we say in brooklyn. >> house republicans want to cut taxes and chop the deficit. it will take months. all gop members must be on board in the house. harris. >> harris: wow. my team had to tell me what nfw was. i thought it was no fun for whatever. >> my wife is from brooklyn.

i hear it a lot sometimes. >> harris: thank you. south carolina senator tim scott is chair of the republican senatorial committee and he will attend that meeting with president trump this afternoon. great to see you. good to see you in d.c. for the inaugural balls and all of that. tell me what you think this meeting will be like. and already we feel like there is a different tone in washington. is it real from democrats? >> harris, i think it is certainly opportunistic from the democrats looking for a way to stay on the ballot in their vulnerable areas and states and playing ball with president trump. bottom line is this. promises made, promises kept. what we know about president trump is every single thing you are hearing being done today are the things he foreshadowed on the campaign trail. think about it. peace, prosperity and security. global peace. we're already seeing hostages come home. 24 hours before he takes the oath of office.

prosperity, prosperity at home, drill, baby, drill. the president will talk about executive orders to move this economy in the right direction so more americans have more money in their paychecks and reducing energy costs is a number one factor in actually increasing take home pay so to speak. and then security. one of the first things the president has already done is put in place the remain in mexico policy that will reduce the illegal border crossings. we had the greatest invasion in the history of our country, over 14 million illegal immigrants coming into our border. no more. president trump is in charge and that's good news for our nation, good news for our security, and frankly good news for our paychecks. >> harris: i want to ask you about something that i thought was just the timing of it was so abrupt. that is to go after this new

president's administration over finding efficiency in the government. i would think everybody would want that. apparently democrats don't. and it really almost puts lawfare back into play. it is very confusing. >> well, the democrats have gotten -- perfected the weaponization of the justice department and now they believe that government is good. government is god and necessary. when you have that kind of philosophy, the challenge is what is not possible through government? what we know as conservatives and free marketeers it's the people who are the place we've put our hope and trust besides god. it took people who need the resources to create the next wave of opportunities in business. it is the people who need to experience the american dream through homeownership. what does it take? the power in the hands of the people. it takes putting the actual

economy back to work in the free market. not growing a bigger, more oppressive government. it is good news trump is back in office for everyday people. >> harris: what can be done quickly. you talk about being expeditious. it takes you all coming together now. what does it look like moving forward? >> president trump is a visionary leader we need in the party. number one, that's true. number two, what he wants is a team that works as a single unit. >> harris: can you do that? >> 100% we'll do it. we'll get a reconciliation package signed into law. that means taxes will stay down. it means that energy independence will happen and it also means we'll close our southern border. those three things are part of the reconciliation package. those naysayers who believe that republicans cannot get along and work together, we will prove them wrong, president trump has been signaling that the entire

way. he expects frankly and demands team play. it is not about president trump, it is about the american people. it is about this golden age of opportunity brought to us by this election. voters want results, republicans we're going to give them results. >> harris: quickly a few seconds. your thoughts on where we are with the border right now and the laken riley bill could potentially come to you very soon. >> thank god almighty president trump will sign the bill and we'll see more illegal criminals taken out of our country and more safety in our neighborhoods. >> harris: senator tim scott, also the nrsc chairman. congratulations on that. good to see you. thank you very much. i want to thank everybody for watching "the faulkner focus."
