the other issue is the appropriations committee, you were on the appropriations committee we continuepublicans have the power of the purse. what are you going to do with that? >> we have a big debt ceiling debate that were dealing with right now and within that we talk about what are the things that house republicans want to see in their limiting spending increases over the next decade to 1% a year that is a very positive thing for the making people it's not enough to solve everything but it's one provision that the appropriations committee can be involved in the other tickets for the import for the appropriations committee to do we have broken it down into 12 separate bills is a more transparent process that has been a very long time because with $32 trillion in debt the american people rightly expect us to scrutinize every single thing that we spend money on and that's exactly what were going to do. maria: are you going to hold money back for example the fbi, the d.o.j., the other federal agencies that have been colluding with social media to suppress truth and amplify lies? >> hous

certainly, it is a well-known thing that the appropriations committees remain extremely influential. so, one thing to do if you want to be a work horse and create a career on capitol hill where your influence is going to accrue over the years, is to try to get yourself onto the appropriations committee or armed services committee, also, a plays like that where eventually you will be a subcommittee chairman or ranking member. there is a lot of important work that gets done there, where you will end up allocating billions of dollars, right? how many people can say they do that at their job? so, if people want to know who the work horses are, they should look at the chart for the appropriations committee. that makes a big difference. sometimes we see that there are three parties, appropriators, immigrants into republicans because they have set a culture of their own -- democrats and republicans, because they have set a culture of their own. they take pride in their responsibly as stewards of the public. host: philip wallach is a senior fellow at the american enterprise institute. we are

but i want to talk about china early this month and appropriations committee budget was held with the interior secretary and it was amazing she admitted green energy policy and the russia green agenda benefit china after admitting solar panels and, vehicle minerals and wind turbines come from china. additionally i think you were there for this hearing secretary granholm doubled down on the praise they give to how they handle their environment. is it true china emits more greenhouse gases in the u.s. than the whole eu and japan combined? >> thank you the answer is yes. is unequivocal. they're one of the worst polluters if you will in this regard. and if i made further they are here today because we are fiscally irresponsible as a whole china buys our debt. we owe china. one of the reasons we are here these would be the chinese are largest competitor in the world right now. they are winning this debt battle because we are not fiscally responsible. i think that's all we've got to address this in the way of the majority. more additionally wood to make sure we do not strengthen china by pl

so you you noted there are a variety of types of committees, the appropriations committees, who you know, make decisions about spending. there's select committees like the january six focused one. they're also joint committees where the house and the senate have legislative. both legislators will be sitting together and making decisions together. yearbooks focuses on authorizing. why and while you're at it, could you explain for viewers what do the authorizing committees do. mm hmm. so that's a great question. authorized authorizing committees. do what it sounds like they do. they authorize related to. and so they can decide where and what money can be spent. but appropriations bills are really what decides how much is going to spent. and as you said then that changes the nature. then of the kinds of hearings and the kinds of that appropriations committees will do versus authorizing committees. and so in wanting to understand the kind of substantive and policy formulation discussions that are happening in congress that, that is why i on authorizing committees as as the focus of this book

there's some on the committees that are raising these limits. host: why not appropriations as another avenue? guest: for those at home, basically what you are saying is they are skipping a step. it's faster. it they do not have to mark up this bill in committee, marking it up means other people get a say as two it goes in the legislation, but they want to fast-track the process, get it through the house. the house normally is not in on fridays but it will be in this friday, so they have until friday to pass the legislation. we expect the rules committee meeting to be tomorrow afternoon so they are moving quickly. host: the reason i say that is because speaker mccarthy and others said when they took the office it would be the regular thing to move their the appropriate committees to get legislation passed. guest: i'm slightly. what i -- absolutely. what i have found is lawmakers tend to say that they want to change when they get to leadership positions. this is a question that was brought up to mccarthy,'s answer being we need to move this forward. host: let's go to our repu

i'm blessed to sit on the appropriation committee and the house, you end catch and release by defunding dhs' catch and release program, it is that simple, and the last thing i would say yes but no is killing our kids -- would say is fentanyl is killing our kids. smugglers are killing our kids. it's time to throw the book at them. it's time to hold the smugglers and folks responsible for fentanyl debts accountable and it is time to pass legislation. i'm great what i have ambassador haley here in eagle pass and with that i'd love to turn it over to her. >> thank you. first of all i want to thank tony gonzalez. you should just know that he is the border king. because he's got 800 miles of the board if you have is no one that can ever say that they understand the border more than tony gonzalez. if he has not and every single immigration conversation in congress, something is wrong. you look at what we saw today, and the first thing i'll tell you is, we are a country of laws. the second we stop being a country of laws, we give up everything this country was founded on. what i saw today was a

. >> there's an appropriations committee and budget for all of this the fiscal year ends in september. why not deal with spending cuts and negotiate with the president there? why negotiate over the debt ceiling, which is much more dangerous? >> it's not dangerous at all, especially when you sit down on february 1st the budget is different than a debt ceiling it's not like a state capital. the budget never goes to the president. for the president to do a budget doesn't make sense you want to sit down with the debt ceiling, just as america has done when president biden was senator, four times he voted to increase debt ceiling only if it included fiscal changes. the only time he voted against it was because he said there wasn't enough fiscal change. a debt ceiling is like giving your child a credit card and they charge the limit all the way up would you raise the limit? >> if it meant with america standing in full faith and credit of u.s. government debt, i feeling like you can deal with the spending in other ways, which is totally legitimate. >> if you just raise the debt, do you think

reid: i used my seat on the appropriations committee to help cut $30 million from the waste site budget. i urge the president to veto legislation that would put a temporary dump at the nevada test site. i won't quit until my colleagues understand that transporting nuclear waste to nevada is dangerous. and we don't want a nuclear waste dump in our backyard.
