bring in new york congresswoman claudia tenney.ahead come january when donald trump is in office now includes a federal response to this fire. what will that look like? >> this is a tragedy, it is horrific to watch this unfold. it is result of bad politics and bad policy on part 've democrats. they have not properly maintained forests, energy or water supply. pacific ocean is there, they have not taken advantage they could be doing more and should have prevented this. we have a similar thing in adirondacks. we are seeing weak response from fema right now. with new policy in place, with republicans and change, maybe people in california will wake up and elect people that will make them safe, which is obligation of government. it is hard to watch this. it is shall it. this could happen any one of these really blue far left progressive states where they refuse to use common sense and science to protect people they are supposed to protect. >> carley: president biden gave remarks yesterday with upon gavin newsom and one point delivered

cramers with derrick van orden and we have house majority leader steve scalise, byron donalds and claudia tenneybut first, pete hegseth shined today. that is the subject of the riff. pete hegseth shined today in his 4 hu hour plus hearing to pe become secretary of defense, talking about his mission to restore warrior eths on to pentagon. >> when president trump chose me for this position primary charge he gave me to bring warrior culture back to the department of defense, he like me wants a pentagon laser focused on lethality, meritocracy, war fighting accountability and readiness. he believes, i agree, that time to give someone with dust on his boots the helm, a change agent. >> rather than another but c bureaucrat or high ranking general, mr. pete hegseth would be a soldier emphasizing his dust to boots experience in battlefield. >> i have led troops in combat, i have been on patrol for days, i pulled trigger down range, heard bullets wiz by, called in close air support, pulled out dead bodies. and knelt before a battlefield cross. this is not academic for me. this is my life. >> there you hav

byron donalds and claudia tenney. welcome back.friends and democrats are not controlling the governor. >> didn't see all that in the ways and means meeting and he was very good and poised and hoe answered the questions fairly and trying to attack them personally and secretary of defense and looking forward to having him confirmed and looking forward to january 20th like never before. it's been an exciting day. and. larry: did you cut taxes today? >> we're trying and trying to get the tax cuts and jobs act renewed, we're fighting the democrats on that too. larry: there we go. byron, good to see you and happy new year to both of you. >> happy new year. larry: byron, on this point, i thought hegseth was brilliant. his knowledge of the job and knowledge of soldiers and his knowledge of combat warfare was incredible and i thought the democrats, they don't understand that they're not controlling the government anymore. no white house or house or senate and they don't have the policy. they were at war with hegseth and, you know, not china

skipping right along here, joining us now, new york congresswoman extraordinaire claudia tenney and nedident and ceo of american majority. welcome back. claudia, you haven't even wished me a happy new year. are you not talking to me after all these tv appearances? i wanted to talk for a moment about executive orders. now, i know that there's going to be one big beautiful reconciliation bill. the house won that, and mr. trump won that and even some tv hosts have won that, but what's so interesting is trump is now talking about i think 25 executive orders. we have, i think, we have a actual screen listing them but they basically, i don't know whether you got it or not, i don't know whether we can put it up on the full screen or not but basically, they are covering, they are going to turn back biden's climate policy and they are going to turn back biden's border policy and it can't come soon enough for me. what do you think about all of this executive orders? >> well first of all happy new year, larry good to see you back on the air again. and secondly, i agree with greg jarrett. i give me

claudia tenney, so great to have you on, congresswoman. we watched the media coverage and it's really bad. trump is trying to stop dangerous security threats and keep them away from the u.s. shores and china, russia and iran. china has been eating up ports around the world to ship it is own goods out of the ports, including the panama canal. it's dominating that and spying. what do you make of the media falling down on this? >> look, this is ridiculous. it was so great to see president trump in another one of his free wheeling press conferencens and stands up confidently and makes news and talks directly to the reporters and answers questions and knows what's going on and doesn't have a cheat sheet and calls on one person asking a prerecorded question to him. it was amazing and quite interesting but, look, we have to defend our territory and we have lost the americas to china if we don't act now. china is very much using its belt and road initiative in the south of america, central america, and preserving and keeping the panama canal is im

several congress members on over the last several days, whether it was congresswoman m malliotakis, claudia tenney on the afternoon on fox business, they've all said, look, they're not cheap. they didn't say that. i'm saying that. that they're saying we have questions, we have concerns, they want to have a voice. they want to have a role in the first 100 days and in particular it seems that budget cuts are the biggest thing that you hear because there is a slim majority and so johnson, if he maintains the speakership and seems like he will, we shall see, he still has a slim majority overall and there may have to be working with democrats on some of these issues, emily, or not. i might be wrong. >> you're not going to see a lot of willingness from democrats to work to help the trump agenda. i think you're completely right that no one's a cheap date when have you a two seat majority. that means any speaker, speaker johnson or anyone else, will have to get everyone to the table and make everyone happy. we know that's a pretty impossible task. president trump changes the game here and frankly the like

american public, just the professionals, claudia tenney, they just really, really just turned everythingamerican public wants massive change in this country, and this kind of stuff has got to stop, it really does. all right, folks, speaking of this, there's all kinds of debates out there marley about our country right now. -- mar ifly about our country. what's the direction of the economy. even most data points give us conflicting signals. today it's ism, right? manufacturing. 49.3 which, by the way, till contraction but came in better than consensus. that's the headline. you're going to hear a lot of good stuff about that. but you got 52.2 on prices paid. consensus was 51.7, and that's expanding. what took it over the top was new orders at 5. 5, but could -- 52.5, but could some of that been ahead of tariffs? let's bring in jim bijanuary coe. jim, it's so tough to get a handle on the aggregate data. the bifurcation of the super wealthy and everyone else, all this stuff has skewed what the true health is. although i do believe in november we heard from the public that is not as good as t

new york congresswoman claudia tenney, along with congressman representing virginia's beautiful sixth district ben cline and arizona congressman andy biggs, from a wonderful part of arizona as well. all right. thank you so much. here, claudia, i want to start with you, congresswoman. i should say more officially. what was it like on the floor today? what did it what was the feeling? i mean, there was this from the outside in, it looked like, hey, this could get a little contentious. who knows what these last few votes were going to bring? what really went down on the floor? >> yes. well, it's great to see you, jason and my colleagues. i want to first say that i come from one of the most, if not the most beautiful district in the entire united states, new york 24, which spans the shoreline of lake ontario, has the finger lakes. and, you know, it's just an amazing place as well. so it was quite it was a little harrowing a bit today. but, you know, i have to say, and i'm really excited that mike johnson has never lost a speaker race so far. and it's because he's smart, he's resilient. he

that is claudia tenney from new york with the hug there. everybody giving congrat congratulations, sandra. i am sure there will be a phone call soon from president-elect trump, who was working hard to make this happen on a first ballot. >> sandra: joining us now, mollie hemingway. we have been talking throughout, watching this happen, and this is how -- this is how this goes. pretty historic moment, as we saw the two lawmakers approach the front and change their votes to johnson. your thoughts, mollie? >> in ended up being kind of a thrilling moment to see these two guys go down and change their votes. it was a messy process. it was managed on the first vote but it was messy getting there. but that is really again what democracy is like. i think a lot of americans would like to see far more debate in the house than they have been seeing in recent decades about the issues that are confronting america, and this might be the prologue of some interesting debates, as we have new and fresh ideas about how to improve our state of government, but i
