obviously, scott bessent should be in good shape as should sean duffy. but i do think senate republicans have shown is unity here and will be, continue to move forward in a strong way. mike: you made reference to tulsi gabbard. senator elissa slotkin talked about her confirmation today. >> she hasn't asked to meet with me, but from if what i understand is that she doesn't show the competence, the understanding, depth. she wasn't prepared for her meetings, not to mention the deeply questionable decisions she's made of cozying up to vladimir putin, flying and cozying up with assad in syria. mike: meghan, is she in trouble. >> i think she's in a lot of trouble. i think when it's been reported by russian media that that you are an asset to them, that is a problem for you. i don't think she's prepared, i don't think she's competent, and she's different than hegseth, and i think that republicans and democrats see serious problems with her. mike: joe, your thoughts on tulsi gabbard. >> yeah. i think she's got some work to do. i think the reports out of meetings

congressman duffy is highly qualified for this position. he served five terms in the u.s. house of representatives. as the cochair of the great lakes task force, he played a role in advancing a number of transportation and infrastructure projects, and at his hearing last week he demonstrated his knowledge of the issues that will be his responsibility in this role. our colleague, senator baldwin, said that he is, and i quote, the right person for this job. there's no reason to delay this uncontroversial and qualified nominee. the democrats want to spend their nights and weekends taking votes on uncontroversial nominees, we can do it that way. but one way or the other, theses that supported ay the senate will hold votes on two pivotal xabt nominees. first we will vote to advance the nomination of john ratcliffe to serve as cia director. i will respectfully vote no, not because of our political difference, which of course exists, but because i'm deeply worried that mr. ratcliffe will be unable to stand up to people like donald trump and tulsi gabbard who are known to falsify

and it's what sean duffy is focused on.ressman and cochair of the great lakes task force mr. duffy worked with republicans and democrats in the house and the senate on a number of infrastructure projects including the replacement of decades-old structurally deficient bridge connecting wisconsin and minnesota and upgrading the sewer lots. our colleague senator baldwin has called mr. w, "the right person for the job" and earned a unanimous bipartisan vote on the congress committee last week. as mr. duffy mentioned during his confirmation hearing he and his wife rachel have nine children. i'm not the first to observe the logistics of moving the duffy client he's by itself in preparation for the job. more seriously, mr. president as a father and parent of new drivers transportation safety it's personal. as a resident i will state myself he has a proven track record of working with republicans and democrats i look forward to working with him in this new world i look forward to going working with both in the very near future. >>
