secondly, on the tariffs, i bought a handmade guitar, quote unquote, in nebraska, a small family company. when you look at the part list, the wood comes in from canada, brazil, electronics from japan, they assemble in nebraska, so yes, made in america, but the products come in offshore. that company will be destroyed. it is not helping small business in any way. what are your thoughts on that? thank you. have a great one. guest: i don't have the exact information on elon musk and what all he has access to, but certainly the doge apparatus he has set up is taking a lot of liberties and getting a lot of information. there has been reporting about getting access to sensitive information. of course, like we were talking with democrats, causing alarm on that side about how much access he is getting. this is not a senate-confirmed position, just someone appointed by the president. how fast they are moving, they are reportedly working around the clock. i read another report about beds in the office building where the doge staff members are set up so they can work as much as possible. that is pr

however it was recently similar initiatives were recently put up for a vote in kentucky and nebraska. voters in these very red states even as they were electing president trump in 2024 voted down private school choice efforts. and that caught a lot of people by surprise and suggests at least in those couple of states that there is a disconnect between what the red state voters want and what some of the red state elected officials are pushing. host: edna in chicago, a democratic caller pretty here from you. caller: good morning. my question was why? everybody is talking about the education, speaking of the 25th. i suggest they start looking at the 25th amendment in the constitution. to get rid of a president who can no longer govern. this is what we have now. not only education but if you educate yourself and see what's happening with this guy we have for a president, you will see. he has dementia, he is an old man with dementia. host: we will stick to the topic. eric in massachusetts, independent. guest: -- caller: thank you. what i want to ask about is the cost of college. i think on

secondly, on the tariffs, i bought a handmade guitar, quote unquote, in nebraska, a small family company you look at the part list, the wood comes in from canada, brazil, electronics from japan, they assemble in nebraska, so yes, made in america, but the products come in offshore. that company will be destroyed. it is not helping small business in any way. what are your thoughts on that? thank you. have a great one. guest: i don't have the exact information on elon musk and what all he has access to, but certainly the doge apparatus he has set up is taking a lot of liberties and getting a lot of information. there has been reporting about getting access to sensitive information. of course, like we were talking with democrats, causing alarm on that side about how much access he is getting. this is not a senate-confirmed position, just someone appointed by the president. how fast they are moving, they are reportedly working around the clock. i read another report about beds in the office building where the doge staff members are set up so they can work as much as possible. that is pretty s

i'm from nebraska. nebraska's agricultural and manufacturing industries rely on our strong export markets for our products. you and i talked about trade, and about the need under this administration for trade to be front and center. we know that we did not see much of that happen in the previous administration. we also know that other countries may try to retaliate against our agricultural and our manufacturing industries. if confirmed, will you work with your colleagues at other agencies to understand the impact of retaliatory tariffs on agriculture and manufacturing? mr. lutnick: i will. sen. fischer: thank you. can you also talk a little bit about what opportunities you view that are out there so we can expand certain export markets over the next four years under this administration? mr. lutnick: i think our farmers, ranchers, and fishermen are treated with disrespect. sen. fischer: always the fish. always the fish. mr. lutnick: you have to include them. how often do we eat seafood? come on. they are

you will nebraska see a picture like that -- never see a picture like that of donald trump. hired donald trump, and he works from morning til night. i mean, look at that. i mean, it's just -- charlie: talking about how joe biden couldn't pick up a beach chair, couldn't walk across the sand with his beach chair. that that's one of his best impressions. griff: it's a really good point. you talk about the lights at the white house because as a reporter that that's often at the white house during the biden years, there would be major events, you know, international things going on, and you can always tell if a president is in the oval office because a marine is stationed right outside the door. we would be reporting right there on the north lawn, look over and you would see no to marine, we're reporting on a major world event, and yet there was no marineful we're seeing that marine outside that door a lot. rachel: yeah. those marines are getting a lot of work to do because donald disturb no one can outwork the guy. i think that's something americans were waiting for. charlie: ca

. >> i'm from nebraska. i know the farmers are like, what is going on? >> exactly, exactly. so all of that is in play. the problem here for me personally, is this is a personal issue. these are things that we, patty and i have spent our life working on. and we know i would just ask trump or musk, go to one of these camps, go to one of the famine camps, one of the refugee camps, and hold a starving child in your hand. look at that extended belly. look at the eyes. they're just vacant. we have developed usaid, has developed a nutrient system that can immediately revive that young child. it is a supplement. it's not available. now. that child's going to die. so where's the humanity here? where is the humanity? do they understand what they are doing for these lives? and then the medical side of it, if you pull usaid out of these countries, you're going to have a medical crisis here in the united states. it will come here. >> congressman, in addition to the incredible work of usaid, we have come to understand that it's not just usaid. there are other relief services out there. ca

town, which is about a like an orphanage kind of run by catholic priests in in, i think it was in nebraska and they were they were wonderful in this movie. and mickey rooney is in it. and he really liked that movie. and he told hillary clinton, watch the movie. and so, like politicians into these stories, too. and that's what they think. things are like. and they don't they don't know the reality. they're not actually studying what's going on. and they they have they promote ridiculous like let's go back to orphanages. it was a bad idea when we were doing it in the 1800s. we shouldn't that again. so i don't know exactly where i'm going with this. i really appreciate book and this talk and i'm interested in reading your book. my dad's father grew up in an orphanage and i heard the stories and they were always these superlative kinds of stories. and i think i'm wondering what make of it psychologically if maybe there was some sort of reaction formation or whatever it's called in psychology, where they turn the trauma into something good. what what period of time was this? i'm sorry? when whe

all of nebraska and firm states will be very happy.want ethanol, and we will be able to provide it to the farmers, who i like and they like me. i think they will be very, very happy. we have opened the sale of the lng immediately actually. we did it if you days ago. china right now, china, everybody wants to buy it. we have more and they are all buying at the japan in particular, we are happy they will start immediately. we can supply it to the world. we are supplying to japan. they will always be right up in front of the line. go ahead, please, go ahead. >> reporter: mr. prime minister i have a question for you as well but mr. president i will follow up was asking have you said elon with spending and the biggest discretionary? >> president trump: at the pentagon and education and everything. we will go through everything just as it was so bad with what we went through with this horrible situation we just went through. i guess 97% of the people have been dismissed. it was very, very unfortunate. you will not find anything like that, bu

and nebraska, your district, agricultural trade is a key component. would you like to see more of a focus on that? or just extend this out, the trade war, a lot of the way this may play out would be delegation on u.s. agricultural experts. we might be going the other direction. mr. smith: it is a concern, and former committee chairman kevin brady was quick to say about buy american, and he said let's make sure we can sell american, and that's important in my district, obviously, a huge agriculture district. but i also think our engagement in the world has been lacking so much that other countries expect more of us. we look at the indo pacific economic framework. ipef. i've nicknamed that i-puff because it is such a light touch when other countries were expecting more out of the united states. we have a new administration and clearly president trump has higher expectations of our trading partners, and i think they are taking this very seriously, and i think a vigorous trade agenda could help our country and help elevate our engagements around the world
