then we have to wait and see international secretary of the american communist party, christopher has all a stays. hex, it's on from the very whole kish about the war and the middle east. it's clear that the new us administration will be much more forceful as a president. now the incoming president, donald trump, has already said. he said that he would support israel's ongoing work with a must. if a mazda does not release the hostages, and that he would increase the support and capabilities of this really military. so it's clear from these confirmation hearings that pete hex it is in lock step with trump and many others in the incoming administration. that showed that at israel will continue to uh, try to destroy a how much on the battlefield if no ceasefire is agreed upon before trump takes office on the 28th of january. well, would the si fi told strong thing on the for the yeah, that's mounting on rest. within the is ready military, a group of 290 s troops have assigned a joint blast to stay thing they refused to fight. well demanding a truce. the soul just say that only the 1st of

international secretary of the american communist party, christopher has all these days at hague, assess, and trump all very whole kish about the war in the middle east. it's clear that the new us administration will be much more forceful as a president. now the incoming president, donald trump, has already said, he said that he would support israel's ongoing work with a must, if a mazda does not release the hostages, and that he would increase the support and capabilities of the is really military. so it's clear from these confirmation hearings that pete hex it is in lock step with trump and many others in the incoming administration that showed that at israel will continue to uh try to destroy a how much on the battlefield if no ceasefire is agreed upon before trump takes office on the 28th of january, as well with these, these slides hold strong hang on for over a year. there's mounting unrest within the as way. the military, a group of $200.00 idea of troops of signs, of joins less to us facing. they refuse to fight small, demanding a truce. the soldiers that they are named that the

hold the view that you just expressed, we heard from the international secretary of the american communist party on the editor in chief of the a mean on sense of news pub full. they say it's no coincidence that is where i'll be gone, is westbank operation. mid hours off the trump central gratian, the trump was asked, and in the past few days about israel, and he said it's their war, and they're free to conduct it as they want. but trump needed that ceasefire to basically say that he already was a deal maker. and he said that ended the not girls speech. that he was the one that was able to this. and we know that he's on boy had an odd sized hand and power and leverage over nathan yahoo to push this through. i also think it doesn't only come from the us that might have green lid it behind the scenes. it's a gift to the far right that are currently very much upset with nathaniel, whose government for appeasing. that'd be americans and other allies by going into this deal, the ceasefire deal with how much it goes up. so in order to save space, as we say, they are continuing operations of the west ba

if this sounds well, we heard from the international secretary of the american communist party and the editor in chief of the mean and sense of news platform. they both say it's no coincidence that as well be done. it's westbound cooperation, mit hours off the trumps integration to trump was asked and in the past few days about israel and he said it's there war and they're free to conduct it as they want . but trump needed that ceasefire to basically say that he already was a deal maker. and he said that any of the not girls speech that he was the one that was able to this. and we know that his envoy had an odd sized hand and power and leverage over nip and yahoo to push this through. i also think it a does it only come from the us that might have green lid it behind the scenes? it's a gift to the far right that are currently very much upset with that then. yeah. whose government for appeasing of the americans and other allies by going into this deal a ceasefire deal with how much in gaza. so in order to save face, as we say, they are continuing operations of the west bank because the

now the international secretary of the american communist party kristof, i loudly believes that but dorothy not duration, is a symbol of the vin as well, and people's triumph over western imperialism. this is a historic moment and i'm deeply happy to see that present nicholas. my bureau has been inaugurated as the rightfully and duly elected president by the venezuelan people today. and there was little interference from the outside of the course of the failed candidate with at the white house just a few days ago with president biden. and of course, there's ongoing meddling. the entity, internal affairs to south bend is relevant as well. and authorities arrested. quite a few people who they rightfully claim were there to destabilize the country and to try to find some sort of regime change operation. but today is a historic say, a day of the triumph of the venezuelan people over us imperialism, and over the ongoing medley in the internal affairs of the legend. america by the united states. the united states is a deeply upset that the nicholas mother was elected by the people have been his v

rasmussen, i also have with me a kid i make research, i need to match the secretary of the american communist party for somebody lolly as well as the la roche movement, independent candidate for the us senate to represent new york di and sat. all right, ladies and ladies and gentlemen, let me welcome you to all to you right now. now let me spell.

i need to national secretary of the american communist party. preast of i have all the christmas good to have you join me now. so my bureau has been sworn in for the 3rd time i've spent, as well as president. what do you make of this page in the south american countries? history and what remains ahead for the nation. this is a historic moment and i'm deeply happy to see that president nickle that's my bureau has been inoculated as the rightfully and duly elected president by the event as well. and people today. and there was little interference from the outside . of course, the failed candidate with that, the white house just a few days ago with president biden. and of course, there's ongoing meddling in the internal affairs of been as relevant as well. and authorities arrested quite a few people who they rightfully claim were there to destabilize the country and to try to prevent some sort of regime change operation. but today is a historic day, a day of the triumph of the venezuelan people over us imperialism and over the ongoing meddling in the internal affairs of left in america b

it was to allow americans to use it but then to make it safe from chinese communist party's interference. >> it was to have an american owner. >> right. what we need between now and monday is to buy the president some time to evaluate those deals. and if it goes dark, that's going to be obviously extremely problematic. so, both can be true. we can have an app that americans can enjoy, but at the same time that protects their data and protects them from outside influence. and undue influence. that's the time and space that the president is seeking. as a deal-maker, i think we all should be confident that he can craft that kind of a deal. >> have tiktok and bytedance told you they're actually interested in selling? >> the president worked with -- spoke with president xi again, very top-down authoritarian system that -- >> you think he's the ultimate decider? >> they agreed to work together on this. >> president xi is acknowledging that he has control of bytedance and tiktok? >> not explicitly, but every company in china in some way or some form has to report to or has a member of the chine

disagreeing that it's a platform controlled by an entity run by the chinese communist party that is sucking up data of americans and then weaponizing it against them. so i'm against the chinese communist party weaponizing americans data against them. we will see whether donald trump is suddenly okay with it or not. >> would you say that also, though, to to be fair to those watching, yes, trump has done a 180. i remember as president when he said he was going to ban it and now we're in this spot. but would you also say that what you just said there applies to the your democratic colleagues who were also seeking an extension unilaterally last week? >> if you've done a 180, you've done a 180. again, the legislation allowed an extension. if there's good faith negotiations going on. but if you were worried about it and all of a sudden you're okay with it, that's not okay with me. >> yeah. senator tim kaine, we'll see what happens with this executive order. and if there is legal action taken by any attorneys general. thank you for your time tonight. >> absolutely. >> up next, three hostages are back on israeli soil t

designed to collect information on americans, designed to send messages to american audiences from the chinese communist party. so kevin o'leary, he's right. and frankly, if shou chew if shou chew signs the deal. great. let it be sold to an american company. let it be sold to kevin o'leary and frank and frank mccourt. and let's get it out of the chinese communist party's hands and let american content creators rule. >> let me let me play the role of the average tiktok user here who would say, i'm using it to to do dances, to look at content. that is what i'm interested in, whether it's food prep or looking at people doing asmr, whatever it might be. i'm not looking at it to get actual hard news and content. so why should the average person who uses it believe the way that congress has suggested? this is a national security interest to manipulate information in order to give you the shape, the content on the platform? >> two big problems, right? one, they can collect a tremendous amount of data on 175 million americans. everything on your phone, all your contacts, all your calendar information, all that stuff.

the chinese communist party says, that's their law, they have to do what the chauffard says, therefore they -- what the chinese communist party says, they push the propaganda, spy on americans, collect data on americans. so we saw a bipartisan effort. over 350 votes in the house to pass this bill. by the way, the same bipartisan support here in the senate, passing 79-18. the law gathered so much bipartisan, bicameral support because we recognize this was about keeping america and americans safe, that bytedance needed to divest tiktok so we could be assured that the chinese communist party wasn't pushing its propaganda on spying on us. we acted with conviction against that threat, and of course we know from our classified briefings what that threat for tiktok was. and this threat is not something far off or imagined. we have seen tiktok's interference in elections elsewhere around the world, most recently in romania. the european commission just opened an investigation into tiktok's failure to limit election interference in romania's election and that caused all sorts of disruption in that country. india has banned tiktok for the very same reason, that they are seeing the pu

we should protect the data on americans from chinese communist party manipulation, and most specificallyour children from chinese propaganda. it's either a principle you're going to hold or you're going to be incredibly one up for sale, in my view, is china. keep your hands off our children and their future. that's simple. no matter what donation you take. >> you've said that democrats need to listen better when it comes to issues that helped get donald trump elected. immigration is one of them. there are reports that his incoming administration will begin large scale deportations immediately, maybe even in your hometown of chicago. we'll see if that happens. how do you square your plea to your fellow democrats to listen more on immigration with an anticipated large scale deportation? if what should the response be? >> look, there's a whole set of issues. look, in the past tells you how to go forward. and starting from 1968, richard nixon's law and order to ronald reagan's welfare queens, to george bush's willie horton ads, democrats were bedeviled by a set of issues, whether it's on cri

ownership, bytedance, means that the data of millions of americans could be compromised, and that they are also prone to manipulation by china's communist partyas consistently denied those allegations. they have expressed confidence that they will get the outcome that they seek from the supreme court. our north america technology correspondent lily jamali has more. congress passed that law in april on national security grounds. lawmakers expressed concerns that tiktok�*s chinese ownership, bytedance, means that the data of millions of americans could be compromised, and that they are also prone to manipulation by china's communist party. tiktok has consistently denied those allegations. they have expressed confidence that they will get the outcome that they seek from the supreme court. president—elect donald trump, meanwhile, has weighed in, despite once trying to ban the app himself. he has now filed a brief in this case asking the supreme court to temporarily block the law so that he can try to save it. joining me now is kelsey chickering, principal analyst at forrester. shejoins us from she joins us from florida. shejoins us from florida.

american company. look, i don't want tiktok to go off the air. i just don't want it to be controlled by the chinese communist party. if it's controlled by an american company, i'm fine with it. i'm just not fine with it being controlled by the chinese communist party. i'm not so fine. also, with a 50 over 50 split either. i think it just needs to be an american company. then that's that's it. >> and there are senators, senator tom cotton, senator pete ricketts that that have voiced similar. they're saying they stand by this as well. do you are you all talking to the president's team? are you trying to nudge him in that direction? is there any sort of outreach? >> no, i haven't talked to the president's team. and the president's team has not spoken to me about it. and so i would hope that in the coming days, now that when they get on board that they speak to the republican members of the of the select committee as to why we were all behind this law and why we think it's it's necessary. and and the same thing on the senate side. and so, you know, i expect a robust dialog on this. and we may have differences of opinion

as those fees cascade through the american economy, the chinese communist party advances its global economic contest against united states and takes a militaristic interest in the canal. while president trump has rightly focused on these key issues there are additional problems. in the last two years the canal authority generated record revenue even while transits were depressed by drought conditions. the only comfort to delayed and overcharged ships as panama may invest in more freshwater reserves in the future. even as it takes advantage of the global maritime system, panama has emerged as a bad actor. panama has flagged dozens of vessels in the iranian coast fleet, which brought iran tens of billions of dollars in oil profits to fund terror across the world. in chinese companies that won contracts, often with unfair competition. china often engages in debt trap diplomacy to enable economic and political coercion. in panama it seems to have exploited corruption. we have four panelists with us today. at ranking member cantwell's request we also invited the deputy minister of the panama cana

i want to be tik tok to exist and be owned by an american company to can go to the chinese communist partyh this data. >> a lot of americans are split over this tik tok issue. but lots were not split when it comes to congressional approval people is poll shows disapprove why is this and will change of this administration? >> we stuck. that's why it is. the data is clear and it's been clear. look what happened two18 congress. we are moving to speak and then never happen in american history then the almost or move the second speaker democrats at the stop in to table this. every time they are we republican from a committee are weekends then go and move to democrats it's like high school tit for tat and where breaking the place every single solitary day. both parties were doing business you won't know we have all this debt it's because the bipartisan work we've been doing that goes to this day. all these problems will not be sought by one party a punishment we can colleagues. >> we'll track everything going into there. >> things are coming in. >> this on the panel returned to talk about what a

circuit court of appeals repeatedly said, the ccp, the chinese communist party has stolen tens of millions of americans anthem hack, the equifax hack, or the hack of the office of personnel management. this is a loaded gun in terms of their access to millions of tiktok users personal data. we don't need to wait for a smoking gun and a dead body for congress to act. and that's what it did. >> you have a little more knowledge, i think, than most about these issues, because you are a lawyer as well. i think you went harvard law, so there's that. so i want to ask you about something else in the courts today, and that is president elect donald trump. he's a convicted felon, but there is no jail time. there is no fine. he won't face any further penalty. and i wonder what you make of that. and if it sends a signal about the criminal justice system, it does. >> it's dissatisfying. on the one hand, for others who convict, who are convicted of similar felonies, chris, as you know, they were sentenced to jail time. and so it's unfair that he would get a much more preferential sentence compared to them. on the oth

report obtained by their free press claims that tiktok is flooding millions of american users with tiny -- chinese communist partyrchers at rutgers university finding "the more time really users time spent used on tiktok the more positively they viewed chinese human rights record and china as a travel destination". tiktok tells fox the flood experiment was clearly engineered to reach a false predetermined conclusion peer the apps chinese owners are set for a supreme court showdown on friday as they fight a law forcing the sale of their u.s. operations. let's bring the former republican congressman mike gallagher who served as chair of the select committee on the tcp now i distinguished fellow and had of defense at palantir technologies. mike gallagher welcome it is good to see you again. thank you for joining us this afternoon. what is the reaction to the wreckers study and how valuable is it to how we need to understand whether or not tiktok should be banned in the united states? >> it's incredibly valuable a cat think it was so unique about the initial and cri analysis that came out in august is they use the me

instructions to the chinese communist party, to bytedance to cause the app to slowly have videos that sort of favor the communist party's perception of this. and against taiwan color the american people's view of this. you can envision that that's one. and the second is siphoning off user data of individuals who use tiktok and sending that to beijing, either for ai training purposes or to build dossiers on people. so those are the risks. they're very they're real risks. but interestingly enough, as the congressman just said in the clip, you just showed, neither one of them has in fact materialized. and the supreme court said even though these risks have not materialized, in fact, we're going to accept congress's and the executive's position on this, that just the potential of that is enough to support this. >> there's a study that that has been done on the perceptions of users on tiktok toward china. >> this was done in rutgers by a professor at rutgers, in coordination with a with a journal. and they said that they had seen a noticeable change in the warmth that that users felt toward china. and they point to a number of videos that the perceptions of the generation below my

so this isn't an outright ban, this is a requirement that the chinese communist party, that is basically spying on the americanthis is unwitting, obviously, but 180 million at last count americans were using this app that is being used by the chinese communist party and the people's republic of china, so if they want to sell it to anybody who is not part of the chinese communist party, that's fine, but i think president trump, my impression is he thought he could make a deal. that's who he is, what he does. and i am certainly not opposed to that, as long as it is out of the hands of the chinese communist party. >> sandra: yeah, just reading through the details here, suspend the tiktok sale or banned law for 60-90 days according to people familiar with it, noting that trump may e looking to bolster his reputation as a powerful dealmaker. final few seconds on that? >> well, i don't think president trump needs to bolster his reputation as a dealmaker. i think that's who he is. he's t "the art of the deal." and he has used that very effectively now as president in the best interests of the united states. i think g

the fact that the chinese communist party has access to extraordinary data to microtarget americans, they know exactly, you know, they know exactly what each american wants. so tiktok is the ultimate collective action problem that exacts a horrible cost from our children and is controlled by the chinese communist party, or at least the communist party has access to it. now, it's, this is an untenable situation. - the debate over internet regulation is not a new one. in fact, william frank buckley, jr., on the original "firing line," hosted a debate right after congress passed the communications decency act of 1996. - oh, great, tell me about it. what did he say? - so i'm gonna have you take a look at this exchange between none other than arianna huffington and susan estrich-- - wow, a blast from the past. - about the topic of internet regulation. take a look. - okay. - i'm calling for a partnership. i'm calling for a partnership of government, of the industry and of parents. and the truth, susan, is that, when you have a 12-year-old, as i have a 12-year-old goddaughter who is an expe

are we comfortable as americans had in china, the chinese communist party having that? i'm not. democrats passed it, a democratic president signed it, and the court is likely to weigh in on this tomorrow. i hope president trump, if he doesn't like it, than ask the congress and the senate to pass a law that overturns it. i will be curious to know which of those congressmen and senators are going to go home and say i believe it's okay for the chinese government to own all of this information about my kids, myself, my neighbors, and other great americans. >> greg: you know it's interesting, katie, about tiktok, is i think what had a bigger impact than tiktok was liberals of tiktok. because we never -- tiktok has billions of users or hundreds of millions of users, all of these crazy people on there, and we wouldn't have known how crazy the woke got if it wasn't for liberals of tiktok going through and finding out this stuff. it has a greater impact than i think people realize. >> katie: you are saying we shouldn't ban it because lives expose themselves on tiktok -- >> greg: literall

communist party. rich edson joins us now. what more does the report say? it compares it to american-owned apps.y compared to the apps ocho tiktok basically saying research at the network contained research institute at rutgers university say they created tiktok instagram, youtube accounts to mimic those belonging to american teenagers and use them to engage on "sensitive chinese communist party issues specifically to bet, tnm squares, change on" the results revealed critical of china made far less available on tiktok's planet was on instagram and youtube. the report says tiktok users held significantly more positive attitudes towards china's human rights record. >> it looks like tiktok is being exploited from the ccp propaganda and the propaganda may well be having an indoctrination like affect on heavy users have tiktok. >> tiktok ten eyes chinese government influence of american user experience. a spokesperson tells fox come on, a full's predetermined conclusion creating fake accounts that interact with the app and prescribed manner does not reflect clearly a service experience just as the so

americans and protecting their data. so the point is tiktok cannot house that data and be owned in part by the chinese communist party because imperative because we have that spy ware in our systems. stuart: trump spoke to china's xi jinping on the phone today and says they'll solve many problems together. what do you make of that relationship? terms of tiktok? it seems like the president elect is doing it, he's going all out to negotiate something. i mean, if anybody can do it, it's him. >> you know, stuart, xi jinping knows that donald trump is not a pushover. and he knows that president trump says something, he means that. and when president trump tells you he's going to take an action, he is going to do it. xi jinping knows that. so he knows he needs to be talking with president trump. the point that congress has made is that tiktok as it is currently structured and as it is currently held by bytedance and ccp, that allows ccp to have access to everyone's virtual use ask that spy ware in tiktok gets into every other app onier phone. we don't want that for the american people and we want those protections in place. this i

and those bankers work for the chinese communist party, which oppresses their people, cheated american workers for decades, and covered up a deadly virus. to this day. hunter controls a 10% stake in that firm. and joe biden's done more than look. the other way on china. he said the chinese aren't our competition. come on, man. they're not bad folks. come on, joe. talk to the folks in middle america who lost countless jobs to china while your son was getting rich with them. but there's more fact there have been numerous press reports that have shown other close biden members benefited from joe's 47 year political career. joe biden was point on iraq, the president of a construction firm met with biden's team in the white house and then who did they hired to build thousands of houses in iraq? joe biden's close family member, who you guessed it, had no in the industry and no experience in iraq. a company official bragged that it helps to have a family member of the vice president, his partner. the family member put it more bluntly by saying there's a line of 740 sevens filled cash ready, i

communist party and the manipulation of the algorithms and they've been glorifying violence and antisemitism and even suicide and eating disorders and crazy stuff and they're mining the data of americanizens. it's a very dangerous thing and the communist party is not our friend. google and microsoft have taken steps to comply with the law. there needs to be a sale of full divestiture from the chinese communist party, and i think president trump is the one that will make it happen so we're excited about it. >> as you say, he did post just this morning, save tiktok when i spoke with him in the phone interview on saturday, he said to me that he is likely going to impose a 90-day extension to give tiktok that extra time to divest from the chinese-owned company bytedance, but mr. speaker, they've had months to sell their ownership. why are they going to do it now if they haven't done it so far? why should americans have confidence? >> that's the question. we don't have confidence in bytedance. they've had 270 day, to be exact. the law is very precise. the only way to extend that is if there is an actual deal in the works. kevin o'leary and elon and others have talked about buying it, and

out last congress, which pushed back on, frankly, the chinese communist party screwing us at our own ports. my bill on lidar, my bill on american farmland that has tried to take a comprehensive look at the chinese communist party, but it's going to cost more than a dollar. >> okay. well, if you want to really do this, and this is also the era of doge, which was just about funding, is doge going to be a part of this? >> well, every single ship has to be doge approved. every single ship that goes through there is paying, on average, 50 or $60,000 in transit fees. this is a revenue source. >> listen, dusty, i understand how trade works. i'm just saying. doge is is trump's big thing, which i still don't understand how it's going to work. and hopefully you can break it down to me one day. >> one of the other elements of this, the gulf of mexico, it is the gulf of mexico. >> trump-vance wants gulf of america, the gulf of mexico, as it's been known for hundreds of years at this point. >> by the way, congresswoman plaskett, the idea that we would then go ahead and let's acquire all these territories, let's say we do this, as you unders

communist party. come on. >> i voted to shut down the app. yes, it needs to be sold. and look, i get it. americansove tiktok. but we're not going to let their information be at the behest of the chinese communist party. we're not going to let that happen. >> and if you think about it, though, if donald trump in his first week or two were able to save tiktok for the 170 million americans who use it, they would be going like you know what, i like that guy. he's smart. sees the numbers. he'll figure a way to do it. >> it's not just going to be that. when americans see deportations or repatriations happen, they're going to be like thank you. when they see the border closed they're going to say this is what i voted for. when they see peace break out again around the world they're going to be like this is the stability that we were asking for. daddy's back. that's what you're going to see. >> so you just touched on it. is tomorrow the deportations are going to start or repatriations going to start. >> repatriations start tomorrow. >> is that what we're going to call it. >> that's what they are. people n

the question has always been whether the chinese communist party has the right to collect the data of americanitizens and use that for whoever knows what kind of purposes. >> and you contrast that with the fact that the ccp doesn't let our apps within china -- again we have this dependency. everyone is clamoring, oh, no, the horrors, but we are dealing with a nation that has at every opportunity to try to infiltrate and refused to let us -- i don't know why we are fighting so hard for this if it is not maintained totally within the united states borders, obviously under kevin o'leary's watch and the like. whilst do we care and they're letting this happen? >> it's hard to point fingers elsewhere when we are not abiding by the values of democracy and free speech at home. we have become bankrupt as a nation when we talk about issues like democracy under the biden administration. you have heard interviews -- mark zuckerberg which are doll mike kafka with joe rogan talking about how the biden administration asked them to censor memes. said facebook censorship was right out of 1984. just wonder if t

said, this is an app controlled by the chinese communist party that is essentially collecting data from not essentially, it is collecting data from american citizens and giving it to the chinese communists, our enemies. so he came out against it. democrats and republicans came together, heated. trump's call, passed a bill, bipartisan bill to kick tiktok out, make them sell to an american owner or some other non communist chinese owner. and then one day he flipped. now why did he do that? we know there's reporting. he met with some tiktok billionaire and just flip flopped. the facts didn't change. the chinese communist party is still the adversary of america. they're still an evil regime. they're still spying on americans. and now mr. trump has flip flopped on this. and i think it's an enormous problem. and i really think he needs to get right on this. again, elena's reporting is excellent. marco rubio has a wonderful record being strong on china. mike waltz the incoming national security advisor. very tough on china. even as a democrat. i'm really happy to see those men come in. but i'm very worried that mr. trump flip flopped for the wro

. >> critics say tiktok is used by the chinese communist party to collect data on americans. and some in congress say the app amounts to a national security threat. tiktok denies those accusations. the bipartisan ban goes into effect this sunday. the supreme court took up the issue but so far hasn't released its decision on whether to uphold the law. reports say president elect donald trump is also looking at options to keep tiktok online in the u.s. until another solution is worked out. a small group of senators say they'd like to see an extension of up to 6 months for tiktok. but getting that passed by sunday is unlikely. some others who support the ban say tiktok owners have had months to comply with the law. but haven't we need hearings? we need to understand this issue better so that we can come to a better decision in this balance between national security and free speech and the world. >> tiktok place in our economy as well. they've had an opportunity to sell it to make sure the chinese government doesn't control if they decide not to do that. >> that ban is set to go

ownership, bytedance, means that the data of millions of americans could be compromised, and that they are also prone to manipulation by china's communist party

is amazing that these companies are allowed to list here american public does not understand the stents of control, that chinese communist partyries 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 ear
