even though this goes against fundamental gop orthodoxy? >> i mean, i think when republicans. >> go back home and they start hearing about how the cost of living is impacting them, it could be 2000, 4000, sort of average cost for an average family in the u.s., but i asked speaker johnson when we were in the florida gop retreat just a few days ago, and i said, there are. >> all of these. >> threats about tariffs. >> and. >> trade wars. what is your message if the cost of living goes up? because that is what republicans ran on the biden economy. we're going to take it down. so with republicans already vowing to be aggressive and on the offense trying to go into the midterms in two years, it puts them in maybe a difficult position that they will want to rectify before they have to go back to these voters and ask them to support them again. >> you know, i've noticed that john thune, the senate majority leader at the moment, has not responded, has not said anything about this. a lot of republicans are quiet because it could impact their own cons

they spend a lot of time arguing as part of the ongoing gop civil war around the budget agreement we have yet to see presented to the american people. fighting amongst themselves around how big the tax cuts for the billing of buddies and how much the cut of medicaid as part of the two and was as we know it. senate democrats. that is anywhere for people. an audible question. >> a continuing resolution because that has not been presented. >> obviously prioritized it among no tax on tips and social security. how do you message and you might agree with those. >> we all know what's in and rubs out of the republican budget proposal because it's been delayed for weeks without us able to see specific plan of action. the questions we continue to ask, what will be done to lower the high cost of living for the american? are we protecting social security, medicare for medicaid? re: fighting tax relief to working-class americans and middle-class americans and those who aspire to be part of the middle class or will the gop part two take effect for the overwhelming majority of benefits to go to the

gop congressman burgess owens will join us with his reaction but first to this news. let's get right to it. grady trimble is standing by live on what just went down with president trump and elon musk in the oval office. grady what's the latest good to see you. reporter: good to see you too, liz. president trump signed an executive order that directs agencies to work with the department of government efficiency to cut staff and limit hiring with the goal of significantly reducing the size of the federal government. the order says agency heads will coordinate with and consult with doge to shrink the size of the federal workforce and limit hiring to essential positions. it also says when the federal hiring freeze expires, agencies will be able to hire no more than one employee for every four employees that leave the federal service, with some exceptions for law enforcement, public safety et cetera. elon musk, as you noted at the top, liz, and as you see in this video, joined president trump along with his son x, at the signing to defend doge's work. >> if money is spent

this is a legislative maneuver the gop could use, explain what that is. guest: the budget reconciliation process allows republicans in the senate to circumvent the filibuster process say they will not need 60 votes in the senate, they only need 50, which is a big hurdle for any party in the senate. what they are able to do there is move money around, change federal spending priorities, they cannot necessarily make policy for the reconciliation process, but they can allocate money differently for different priorities and different office so they are trying to take two bites of the apple, the house gop is. they want to do a border bill and another one that has to do with taxes and tax reform and extending those tax cuts. in the first year of the trump administration this is the biggest thing that is in front of them. host: something else we could be hearing is the phrase budget resolutions. both the house and senate can use those. explain what they are and what role they can play in the process. guest: right now that is the big hold up on the resolutions an

that's more of a house gop conservative proposal. but again trump has details that he wants. but they're the campaign proposals. the nitty gritty here is the freedom caucus, the far right of the republican conference says we want up to $2 trillion in cuts, the leadership said. we kind of want more like 1 trillion. that's where the discrepancy is here. trump needs to lean in and just say, hey, here's the plan, and i think we're getting closer to that, right? >> because the cuts are always where the rubber meets the road. that's the hard part, right? it's a lot easier to go home and say to your constituents, hey, like, i've, i've spent this money for you. and trying to figure out that balance has historically been the thing that really holds this up. max, i also want to talk to you about a little bit about what we were just talking about with, with gaza, because you have some new reporting out this morning about this meeting that steve witkoff the mideast envoy had with members of congress and with republican senators. you write this quote we heard from other republican senator

gop has to get out of the box and break out of that straight jacket. and president trump is quintessential thinking outside oturu box and a lot of colleagues don't want to hear and unleash american energy and allow the country to grow exponentially, see what happens and i know it's hard to plan for this because it's unconventional times and going to wave a magic wand and that much growth into the economy. we saw the most growth for those and going for them to see the history of the country and why can't we do them all. larry: don't forget the laffer curve. president obama used mr. crapo's current policy baseline to keep bush tax cuts in place and called it a permanent baseline and going to do the same thing and he was a smart fella. we've exhausted that and you are a great service record and west point graduate and going for this, wesley hunt and improvement for month of january is 15-year high and going for shocking. >> it's amazing what you can see with the president that believes in herism going to -- heroism and imagine this, this only about changi

this week in the senate, gop released its own $340 billion package that boosts military spending and facilitates trump's deportation plans. in the other chamber, house republicans are working overtime to release a plan that accommodates the president's demands, including big spending cuts and a possible debt ceiling hike. what do these dueling approaches say to you as a possible government shutdown looms again in just a few weeks? >> it shows me that republicans don't have a plan. last i checked, they have the white house, the senate and the congress. they should have had these budget bills on the floor. day one. we are getting close to day 40. republicans don't have a plan. they don't really have an agenda and they don't have. >> any bills. >> okay. if you're in the majority, why you need to have a retreat to talk about what you're going to put in it. you should have had that at the ready. >> now before before you go. i was in los angeles this week in altadena, in my capacity as president of the national action network, to see the damage caused by last month's wildfires, to memorial

that's how much a group of gop house lawmakers would like to see cut at a very minimum but those lawmakerstrated for concrete plan in your mind and in place from a republican leadership and led to several heated exchanges and making wednesday and one house republicans say gop lawmakers are fed up "waiting for a play call". there's concern that the senate is getting impatient with the house and moving forward with its own plan if the house doesn't release one first, which house republicans worry will include less substantial checks and house trying to pass a broader ray of reconciliation and more funding for the border security from eliminating on tips and wages and they're all trying to get on the same page but cut cut cut is the message. stu. stuart: i hear it, ashley, thank you very much. california governor newsom met with trump at white house and wants federal aid to rebuild after the la fires. should that money have strings attached to it? we'll ask california guy real estate expert next. ♪ (auctioneer) let's start the bidding at 5 million dollars. thank you, sir.

congressional democrats, as we saw, are stalling cabinet confirmations and looking to leverage the slim gop majority to impact legislation. all while the white house is pushing ahead with its plan to shrink the federal workforce. at the white house president donald trump continued to make good on his promise to change the federal government, signing a new executive order banning transgender athletes from women's sports. >> from now on women's sports will be only for women. >> reporter: it's the latest in his sweeping set of overhauls by executive action. facing new pushback from the east coast to the heartland. >> we need to enforce the laws that are on the book, that you can't just simply expand your power as president simply by saying it. >> reporter: in an effort led by elon musk to shrink the federal government, today is the last day for federal workers to take a buyout, and nearly all of the 10,000 usaid employees, the agency that works to feed the world and fight disease, are set to be put on leave as early as midnight tomorrow. >> we play an integral part of foreign objectives and we

looks like one massive bill you have reporting on this on this house gop retreat in south florida. how united are republicans behind this one potentially massive bill that would include, you know, border and energy policy and extending those 2017 tax cuts. >> yeah, look, republicans are on the same page. they know they want to do something on these key priorities. like you mentioned, extending the 2017 trump tax cuts, many provisions of which are going to expire at the end of the year, implementing stricter border security, putting more money towards the border and energy policy, among some other priorities. but they can't exactly figure out just how to do that. i reported over that over during this week when republicans were huddling in miami for their annual retreat. the, you know, folks went in there with the mindset of getting on the same page, being united so they can work through this, this one big, beautiful bill, as trump has called it. but they emerged from that meeting with some very clear tensions on the rise. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, for example. she said t

if one senator broke ranks on the gop side, then that would be enough to stop the nomination. in that case, bill cassidy voted yes. that was enough to bring him to the floor. and some of these republicans who are wavering on what to do saw the committees move ahead and said, okay, i'm going to listen to what the committee has decided, and i'm going to follow their lead. and that's what senator john curtis decided to do. one other person to watch here in this vote, mitch mcconnell, we're told at the moment he has not voted yet. the former republican leader and his office has not said which way he will come down. he has expressed some concerns about some of trump's national security picks, namely pete hegseth, who he voted against one of the three republican senators to vote against pete hegseth for his nomination to be the defense secretary. what will he do here? but even if mcconnell is a no vote, that would mean there's bipartisan opposition, but very little bipartisan opposition, because she is on path to be confirmed as the next director of national intelligence after these

and it comes as tensions flare among gop lawmakers over advancing trump's agenda, putting the president's legislative plans at risk. cnn's jeff zeleny joins us now from the white house. and cnn's manu raju is live on capitol hill. jeff, to you first. what do we know? >> look, pamela. >> the center. of the. >> president's legislative agenda and the future of the president's legislative agenda hinges on meetings like this. and we know that house republicans will be here shortly to meet with the president. and essentially, he wants to sign a bill that will, you know, be the heart of his legislative agenda. but the question is, what kind of bill will it be? there are very different approaches here. the house wants to do one bill. the senate wants to break it into a couple of different bills. the president has said repeatedly he does not have a preference. he talked about one big, beautiful bill. but i am told in recent days he is coming around to the idea being pushed by senate republicans of a separate bill. the first would be for some of his big priorities, like the border, like some energy

and it all came down to gop senator bill cassidy, who ultimately voted yes. i want to go straight to cnn's manu raju on capitol hill. manu, what more are we learning about cassidy's decision to vote yes? >> well, this was a surprise. well, for people on both sides, they really did not know how he would ultimately come down because he had been struggling with this nomination. he said that publicly last week. he had not made a decision on that as of last night. this morning, he indicated in a post on x that he had had a number of conversations all up until this critical vote, and he posted on social media saying that he had intense conversations with bobby kennedy over the weekend, as well as with the white house. he said he'd received some, quote, serious commitments from the administration. he also indicated that he spoke to the vice president, jd vance, in order to get to. yes, but he really has not tipped his hand other than that he did talk to us very briefly coming out of this high stakes moment where he voted to advance this nomination to the senate floo
