12 days to spend as much as possible from the four massive packages he pushed through congress. the president also vetoed a bill that would've added 66 new federal judges. he wants to do the night the trump administration the ability to make more appointments peer of "the washington post" reports biden look back on his time in office with some regrets quote biden also said he should have picked someone other than merrick garland as attorney general complaining about the justice department's slowness under carolyn and prosecuting trump and it's aggressiveness in prosecuting biden's sun hunter . president biden also regrets dropping out of the presidential race according to "the washington post" report shannon. >> speaker-01: okay lucas tomlinson reporting from st. croix lucas thank you. joining us to missouri senator eric schmidt welcomed senator . >> good to be with you.

>> speaker-01: let's start with this h1-b which has gotten ugly on social media peer elon musk obviously supports saying the tech companies need them peer he was a h1-b visa holder himself at one point and in the middle of this he is referring to people who are hateful cacti unrepentant racists and another post on x saying take a big step back and blank yourself in the face i will go to war on this issue. the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend. on the other side of this we've got longtime trump ally steve bannon saying its all a scam turning american workers and he adds we are going to win this they are going to surrender they are not going to continue to destroy the american citizen and american engineering by this scam and it's a total and complete scam peer president trump brought together a coalition all kinds of groups of people and thinkers to win peer how does he now manage them in the middle of a fight like this that's vary publicly. >> first of all i think it's important to acknowledge this is a very important debate to have and it's happening on x right

now which is a free and open platform. something up for four win i was attorney general. the biden administration we sued them for their sponsorship regime. i think it's an important debate that's happening but the context i think we need to keep in mind here is an american workers had been left behind by this economy many factory jobs sent overseas and to thank the abuses of the h1-b program have been evident where you have sons and daughters of the workers who lost their jobs as accountants and they are training their replacements the foreign workers who are undercutting their wages kick i think the solution president trump has articulated 2022 reform that system. and get rid of it make it merit-based to make sure when undercutting wages and having americans replace or train their foreign replacements and also keep in mind here that the big debate and issue that is coming is actually the border we have

15 million people here illegally that joe biden and democrats have let in through an open border policy peer writing papers for liberal think tanks and policy for the united states of america and now we have crime packed fentanyl kappa national security risk so the first order of business at that that of the trump administration's deportations that will begin day one. executive orders coming i think president trump has talked about reforming the system stacked the h1-b system peer but the broader issue here is mass migration that's undercut jobs, wages and increased housing costs peer i think that's where the focus will be and that's where the mandate jumped out was to secure the southern border and talk about how he is going to do that sku in ocala to get the immigration more specifically but before we leave this issue, there was a conversation had with president trump yesterday and this is what they say packed this ep supports immigration visas for highly skilled workers

quote i have many h1-b pieces on my properties and a big believer in them. i've used it many times its a great program he's been critical in the past and to be fair at times seems to question whether he was talking about these h1-b pieces because they said he has used h2 and h2 a but they didn't see use of the h1-b peer our next trip its been clarified but he is been critical of this peer talk about undercutting the american worker and that seems to be the biggest argument against that peer people who were brought over as foreign workers aren't necessarily supplanting american workers who may be qualified and may want these jobs but the foreign workers are paid less. so i want to talk through some possible legislative changes to this because the group that is the federation for american immigration has talked about things they want to see changed that possibly congress can tackle. not allowing the h1-b visa to be

a pathway to citizenship peer preventing pain less than americans and those jobs are requiring proof that they offer those positions to qualified americans and that they want tougher enforcement mechanisms and random audits. is not the kind of thing you think your colleagues can get behind? >> i think there's been a lot of abuse and that's what's driving a lot of this discussion can't be abused that's constant with this where you see qualified americans being denied a lot of these jobs because a company can go and hire cheaper labor from a foreign country peer that's really the abuse. so the reforms presented trumpet forward in 2020 which by the way were cancelled by joe biden had to do with right now it's a lottery peer there is no merit to this it's just a lottery. i.t. companies sometimes put 30,000 applications and hoping to get 10,000 from a random lottery. i think that system needs to be reformed. also undercutting wages by

bringing in somebody onto a loophole for example you can have 50 these same employer puts it -- it's a consulting firm. i think those of the things president trump articulated when he wanted to reform the system in 2020 that joe biden next he came under under the auspices of undoing everything president trump including the 94 executive orders issued couldn't rid of mexico and stopping the construction of the border wall. alto things president trump tried to do to shore up the border and make sure we were putting american workers first. i think you will continue to see that is the mandate president trump caught and that's what he talked about on the campaign trail. one last point here, it's a longer-term conversation, we have to invest in american workers. i think what people get frustrated by it as they see $170 billion go to ukraine, millions go to other countries to teach them meanwhile our education system is completely

failed and there has been a focus on the american worker and i think that's this republican party led by president trump i think there is a lot of ground to be made up here and putting american workers first. >> speaker-01: so the broader conversation about immigration the president has talked about illegal immigration getting control of the southern border but also deporting potentially millions who are already here. i want to play something alex madia said about actually can those people out of the country peer. >> the next time we are here republicans say they support trump's plan to deport waves of undocumented immigrants. let's be clear about what comes with that peer higher prices for american families. they are supporting the removal of millions of hardworking community members peer 80% of whom have lived here ten years are more. >> speaker-01: what do you say to critics who say it will tear apart existing families and actually hurt the u.s. economy

by taking millions of workers out of the mix week. >> to point out my friend from california bill clinton and barack obama deported 17 million people. the idea of deporting people here illegally is not in it and it concept in fact the policy of the knitted states of america for 200 years as if you come here illegally you are detained if you don't have a reason 9 out of 10 asylum claims are bogus peer in your deported. et al. we always operate. only recently win the last four years the radical left has taken over the white house these people do not believe importers and airlines on the math that were all world citizens and everyone should be able to come here and put up in a luxury hotel in new york the expense of taxpayers peer they looked the other way win a woman is set on fire and the subway peer by the way you don't need to be a citizen to be counted. this was the goal for them all along peer the truth is we have

been -- we have laws but they are just not being enforced peer president trump will come in and enforce those laws bring back which creates a disincentive for the cartels to traffic people because the waiting room is in mexico not here in the u.s. where they are released into the interior never to bc and can and given a court date ten years from now peer but that's what's happening right now that's the system that's broken. president trump will enforce existing laws and deport people here illegally i think that's coming day one you will see a flurry of executive orders to that point. the american people want that peer you see it among systemic -- hispanic and black voters and white voters. every group supported that peer the exit polling supports it and that's why he won. i think it's an important part about the mandate he received. >> yes, and you saw that on the fox motor analysis. we know there is an ambitious agenda of the first 100 days and he'll be in the middle of about

also senator we hope you'll come back in the meantime happy new year. >> happy new year. >> speaker-01: up next we will look ahead to the new congress from the other side of the aisle. a democrat who represents silicon valley weighs in on the support of high-tech workers as the american press coalition to fight back. ♪ ♪ the tunnel to towers foundation and the congressional medal of honor society recognizes valor beyond the call of duty. britt slabinski, a recipient of the medal of honor himself, sat down with fellow recipients to hear their stories from their military service to their transition into the veteran community. it nothing we won, right? we're pretty vocal on that, saying, look, i didn't win anything like we're a recipient of this. you're going to highlight me for the day. we're four guys get killed. never crossed my mind about receiving the medal of honor. never. i was told i was being put in for it the day after the battle.

american culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for weigh too low peer oa culture that celebrates the brown queen over the old fee had champ over -- the jock over the valedictorian will not produce the best engineers peer a response to that from nikki haley saying there's nothing with american workers are culture all you have to do is look at the border and see how many what we have peer we should be investing and prioritizing and americans not form workers. what do you make of this argument and the need to invest more in american workers and students to make sure they are up to taking these jobs and there won't be as great and need to look overseas we. >> american culture is extraordinary and i respectfully disagree with it i was valedictorian in my high school and they respect them and people who are reception -- exceptional in football and music peer what makes american culture is extraordinary is we celebrate

the talent and genius and skills of people of diverse backgrounds peer there is america -- a reason america leaves and nobel laureates, physics, medicine and chemistry. if there is a problem with the culture we wouldn't be in the world's greatest economy of 30 trillion peer but one of the points i think elon and others are making is what makes america exceptional as we are a magnet for the world to talent. it's great that elon musk comes here and jensen is going here and not taiwan. we made a mistake win we lost maurice chang who is educated at mit he leaves the united states and starts taiwan semiconductors now we don't have semiconductors in the united states peer so we want the best talents coming here critics will say these aren't always people. their people doing jobs that could go to americans.

there is a lengthy post written on next and i will read part of it. he says big tack is the only group that benefits here it's not the american worker are for a strong worker they're able to negotiate salary and benefits that the route main reason why workers that have to get pete with form workers who are hurt buy unfairly conditions notes talk about where you think there is room for reform queen. >> largely right on the need for reform i'm up -- a bipartisan bill we introduce the former representative frank and i are on it and basically it would say you can't underpay these h1-b folks coming in and you shouldn't have lower scale

thanks that can be done by american workers. you shouldn't have that kind of category knitted states it shouldn't be for accountants are entry-level i.t. jobs. it should really be for exceptional talent and we can have that balance and i hope president trump looks at that bipartisan bill that would reform this peer but as senator schmidt said americans -- americas talents have been hollowed out and he is right peer workers have gotten a raw deal appear let's be honest about this h1-b program we are talking about 85,000 sometimes up to 200,000 people because there are too many exemptions but how did we lose steel? how did we lose aluminum we you want to bring back new jobs you need to have investment in places left out that's what we should be talking about spewing okay with elon talking about these -- getting into these epic fights on social media they are

now the department of government efficiency where do you think you can work with them on cutting government waste queen. >> i've gotten some criticism on my side because i said i'm open to working to cut programs that are not competitive for example the defence budget 56% of discretionary budget dominated by five prams and musk is saying maybe we can disrupt that and have competition with better national security peer there are real proposals to do that than democrats should work with them there are duplicative agencies that are efficient on taxpayer dollars that we should work with him peer what i will not do is support any cuts to social security are medicare are veteran benefits or education programs that parents rely on but there is no doubt waste and where there is ways to we should work in putting the country first.

>> speaker-01: let's get back to your reflections. he wrote some tough truths to your party after the loss in november of the white house and senate peer essentially said they were not listening to people where their suffering pain. he said you've got to get the common sense like things on crime in these issues peer how has urinalysis been received internally? do you feel like democrats of a path forward? >> absolutely but we need generational change. people are upset with the system and that too many billionaires are spending money on elections and upset politicians have lost industry for decades and they are upset that health care is being denied to two many americans. and at the same time summon party who been in congress for 20 or 30 years are not change agents. we need a new generation to step up and people who were part of the failed status quo to step aside. i think they are new generation of leaders and some in the senate will revitalize this

party. >> speaker-01: so there is this piece as you get ready to come back here sewing in the new congress this peace from two attorneys said the congress needs to block president trump from being certified as the winner. the said democrats for a person disqualified from the -- they've arguments about that. to defend the constitution. in 2016 a number of democrats pushed back again certifying a can stop president trump what do you expect this to? >> i plan to show up to the inauguration it's not about president trump its about honoring the american people win i put forward a proposal of common sense and each -- h1-b reform by people on my side saying why you doing that we let the republicans fight peer led them destroy each other fighting.

that's the wrong approach we are americans first we need to be solution oriented peer the american people just elected donald jump i work my heart out to oppose and i went every state but we lost the election peer now let's think about how we have a better message going forward spewing okay lim get your response then to she says democrats should not try to find common ground with trump. she said surprisingly large amount have intended to find common ground. and crock-pot cabinet picks she calls are tone-deaf to epitomize and effectuation with bipartisanship for bipartisanship sake. she says you should be doing it hear, hear response? >> we have to look at issue by issue. known as saying that we should work with republicans or donald trump if there is any proposal that cut social security are if there is of opposable to politicize the justice department are a proposal to abolish the department of education peer

of course democrats will oppose that with our values peer but if the president has a good idea to bring manufacturing back or to cut wasteful defense spending or to make our food system safer and get the additives out of our food and why wouldn't we want to work on thanks that are good for the american people? this is the part of politics people are sick about that we are always looking at things from a partisan lens as opposed to what's good for america peer what they want change agents on the republican side and democrats i'd. >> speaker-01: our numbers showed people desperately want a change and big numbers peer 80% said they want a complete people or a significant change. congress them and we will see you back in the new year happy new year. >> thank you happy new year. >> speaker-01: disorder in the court. many now for those after president biden vetoed a bill that would have added new 66 judges to an understaffed judiciary. our panel reacts to sing the

it's simple fact this president joe biden did not want to give president-elect

donald trump a chance to add more conservatism into our ports peer bottom line. >> so president biden be doing the bipartisan legislation with weeks left in all -- office. it would've left 66 judges that was argued to be an understaffed federal court system peer they call them move blatantly political. let's see what our group thinks peer coauthor of the x eos hill letters former secretary of state and senior advisor hillary clinton and columnist cal thomas welcomed olivia. okay let's start with this bill peer president biden said this about what he vetoed peer he said it would create new judgeships in states where senators have sought to hold open vacancies peer those efforts to hold open vacancies just concerns about judicial economy and caseload are not the

true moving force behind passage of this bill now peer. >> this is turned into an issue where both parties are accusing the other of playing politics peer before the election the united states that have passed this unanimously but then the house didn't take it up for a vote until after the election so now you have democrats saying the house republicans only wanted to vote for it because donald trump won the election and he would get to appoint a significant number of these judges into their role whereas you have republicans accusing democrats of playing politics because house democrats didn't want to vote for it now now biden ended up issuing a veto. all around you have lawmakers saying the other side is at fault for this issue spewing so chris koons democrat senator said this cap one of the big sponsors, i am disappointed by the outcome for my own state and the federal judges throughout the country is struggling under the burden of ever higher caseloads peer i've worked in this bill over years and than

stood tireless bipartisan effort peer so he is saying he wants to get done bipartisan way whoever it was going to be the next person appear. >> and he was right of course brick look what the senator chuck schumer and joe biden did at the beginning of his administration they had this meeting and came up with a plan to create as many federal judgeships with judges of the liberal constitutional view as possible. now we have this bill that passed as he said in unanimously supported by not only christians but todd young of indiana peer now it's flipped on the other side. who knew washington played politics. democrats for years really beginning the sins pair in the public schools and bible reading have used the federal judges in this country. to get policies enacted they knew they couldn't through congress so both parties had a

chance. and it's a real deal peer a lot of credit deserve too young even though it's not being vetoed. >> these judicial nominations and confirmations lost way beyond any presidential term. to have a ton of impact peer he said into thousand four the number of cases in district court pending for more than three years was 18,280 but this year nearly 200 need twocases pending for more than three years peer it takes a lot to get these cases moving peer to you first see may be this effort taken up again under a new term for trump creek. >> i could see it being taken up again judges are an important issue for parties as we have discussed peer the playbook written for how much to push

forward and as many judges as possible and a single term peer these are important positions like you said their long-term topknot just four years peer both parties have interest getting them through peer if you look at the actual legislation it was crafted in a bipartisan way not given all 66 of these new judges to a particular administration they would've been spread out over administrations giving both parties chances to fill some of them peer i could see movement on this it's not necessarily the number 1 priority for trump given a list of policies he wants to push forward for the border and energy policies et cetera. this might not be one of the first things we see done but it's clear there is bipartisan support and win you look at the senate they will need bipartisan issues they can push through its. >> first i think supreme court justice garland would probably disagree but i do think with respect to these senators it was

naive to thank you can remove politics from this topic in particular judgeships peer if we need another 66 or whatever it is donald trump can add it to his day one agenda which ironing know is crowded with other things but he is controlling congress and the white house they consign that in. the point in the theory behind removing the politics of it was to get the the house and senate to approve this in august but johnson didn't i don't know if it's because he didn't have the confidence trump would win but in any event apparently this is not the way to get politics out of judgeships but donald trump hasn't had a bite of the apple in about a month. >> speaker-01: we will see so speaking of confidence the trump effect ceo and investors bullish on global economies survey finds president-elect trump's victory has produced strong confidence in the economy outlook that

outweighs concerns about tariffs trade barriers and geopolitical tensions peer its different than some of the predictions we've heard about his impact predilection should he went. >> and of course i remember former columnist for "the new york times" predicting if trump were elected in 2016 there would be a depression peer never mind. i think the confidence is warranted if trump maintains the tax cuts but mostly if musk and vivek ramaswamy get the two trilling and spending reduction but that's still just a drop in the bucket peer $36 trillion debt and the interest is 1 trillion we've got to cut the spending donation has been able to survive with this level of debt. >> speaker-01: yes, and republicans and democrats have contributed over the years. >> yes, and attends to switch which party cares about spending peer we've earned using the fight out in congress where we have on one hand conservatives

demanding there be significant spending cuts included in any spending deal meanwhile the president-elect is asking for the debt sealing to be eliminated peer we are already seeing the tension play out in the republican party and i think we've not seen the end of the fight. >> speaker-01: so as for these predictions they were predilection saying if you want again it would result in a half percent during peer they went on to note it didn't age one h well. historically low unemployment and benign inflation even amid trade wars this is now goldman sachs postelection this time around. usa company poised to beat expectations in 2025. >> well, look i hope naysayers should believe things we'll go down are wrong including anything i said about donald trump's part going to ruin the economy. i am sure if the 400 ceos

to this issue becoming the issue in the election cycle peer never really got a firm handle on how he respond to that issue peer they had the joe biden issue in debate and the extension of kamala harris only to have her lose in every battle konstantin lu seeing this play out on television screens. moderates are saying we need to continue to move right and embrace more conservative policies to win over the american people. it's hard to say who their leader is moving forward. >> okay congressman. >> i think the biggest loser is the democratic party the media. they covered up for biden's q&a decline and covered up on the hunter biden laptop facebook and on social media car covered up on "the new york post" story the intelligence agencies the russia russia russia things signed off saying media followed all this

you look at the people you've been picking you've got susie wildes, marco rubio car incoming national security advisor michael waltz also from florida. you also have brian mast who will now be the chair of that house foreign affairs committee. a lot of politicians under donald trump and pam bondi hewer right for attorney general peer lots of love for florida and the incoming trump administration and loser as well i think kamala harris who covered the white house and the hairs campaign not because she lost the election but shoes handed a losing campaign peer she had three months turn around. not distance herself from biden and voters felt closer to the

end of the election. she was handed a three month time frame but couldn't get it done. >> shannon: we have seconds left so i want to give you -- you to give me one sentence. >> executive orders peer. >> taylor swift and travis kelce get engaged. >> that would may be take a while peer details peer. >> 2020 stars. >> 2025 looks alone 2017 meaning a lot of dysfunction if you don't learn from history or repeated but more importantly the ratings continue to skyrocket.
