senator hawley: illegally here. here's your plan. if you are wondering, america, here's the democrats' plan, take the 13 million plus ill lease who are here taking jobs from americans, taking wages down, taking health care benefits, and bring them here legally so they can continue to drive down wages, flood the labor force, and suppress -- mr. melnick: they can't blood the labor force if they are already part of t that's what's happening now. the majority have been here for over 15 years. senator hawley: what has happened to working class wages in that time? mr. melnick: they are currently going up? senator hawley: over the last 15 years? they are down. way down. what world do you live in? listen -- here's the deal. the american people just voted -- you know what. it's my time, not yours. are you here to answer my questions not offer a soliloquy. let me end with this. the american people just got a good look at your economic program. and they he voted against it. we have had an open border for the last four years. we have have had de

hawley too. your statement about how you find it bizarre that crisis pregnancy centers have been the target of protests and activities in vandalism when all it is they are offering services in support to individuals in need. i think it's a bizarre target, but it demonstrates this isn't necessarily a discussion about the face act or the first amendment of protecting constitutional rights or civil liberties. i think there's a pro abortion agenda that has been pursued, especially by this administration, that doesn't make sense. i think that the abuse of the face act is an attempt to criminalize the free thought and the ability for people to, as you say, peacefully protest. when they are attempting to have that kind of a conversation that you're describing can be arrested years later for that behavior. based on your experience with the face act, do you think that the pro abortion community is aware that the biden administration is applying the face act against the pro life community? >> i think it pr

here is senator josh hawley. >> your rules explicitly permit biological males in women's sports and iing you why is that fair to the women? all of these women on these teams had to forfeit games and therefore a chance to compete in the championship because of your rules. i want to know why is that protective of women if a man, biological man wants to use their locker room, they just have to accept it? or else they have -- the women have to go somewhere else. they have to go find and alternative. why is that fair? >> harris: senior national correspondent rich edson is in washington. >> good morning, harris, ncaa charlie baker blames a patchwork of court decisions and government policies. baker, the former republican governor of massachusetts says federal clarity would be very helpful here. john kennedy challenged the ncaa to take a stand and change its policy. >> so you are saying you don't have a choice? >> i'm saying that under the current dynamic, there is not clarity on this issue legally. >> why don't you exhibit leadership and demonstrate leadership and provide clarity? you folks

caroline hawley look5 unknown destination. caroline hawley looks back on his rule.riting syria's police state from his father, hafez. the new young president, ju5t 3a at the time, promised reform. and after his inauguration, there was a brief period of greater political openne55. but the old family way of ruling soon reasserted itself. power was to have been handed down to ba5har�*s elder brother, basel, but when he was killed in a car crash, it was the quieter, somewhat awkward bashar who was next in line. he'd been training as an eye doctor in london when he was called back to syria to prepare for taking over the presidency. with his british—born wife, a5ma, by his side, president assad at first presented a new image of syria to the world. mrs al—a55ad, your majesty. the west responded. there was even an audience with the queen. but the change that so many syrian5 hoped for at home failed to materialise. and when an uprising against him began in 2011, he responded with tanks in the streets. a5 accounts of atrocities multiplied, bashar al—a55ad denied they were tak

so i'm not exactly shocked that josh hawley would say that. i do think that it feels at least publicly, and we don't know what is being said in these rooms and i've been in rooms like the one we are showing on the screen, for example, with pam bondi, the question i try to ask was what does it mean to investigate the investigators, those are the questions that the media is asking in terms of these sticking points are the controversial points of some of these nominees. i don't know if those are the questions that senators are asking, certainly they like to keep the process piece quiet, that behooves people on both sides of the equation. so we don't know if they are taking it seriously privately but publicly, and in some of the clips we played already, we have people saying let's let the process play out or alternatively, they are downplaying the allegations and what we've seen reported in the press. i think this is why fbi background checks are so important and why the regular process of vetting these nominees is so important, to just get everyt

my time to senator hawley. let me -- let me just say this to all of you, but particularly our friends at visa and mastercard. and i'm -- i mean it, i don't know how i would vote if this bill came up today. visa and mastercard and the folks, the retailers, need to sit down and work this out. you need to sit down and work this out. because if you don't, congress is going to do something. i'm not sure what we're going to do, but visa and mastercard, when we get through with you, you could end up looking like either the post office or the dallas cowboys. i'm not sure we'll get it right. and i'm not a big fan of -- of the european model. that we're seeing the costs right now in europe of their penchant for regulation. but what i do care is the fact that the high prices in this country are gutting the american people like a fish. and we're trying to address it. and my strong advice to you is to sit down and through to work this out and come up with a solution that's fair for the consumer, fair for the retailer, but a

but hawley and connecticut senator richard blumenthal want more from the health insurance giant anthem has scared a lot of people with. >> these draconian restrictions on how long? anesthesia service will be covered. 4 surgeries. that's why they sent a letter to the ceo of anthem's, parent company. >> wanting to make sure it never moves forward with the policy. they may have said they're walking back. >> but we're demanding a commitment from them in writing. and in fact, they are disowning this policy and they're not alone. new york senator kirsten gillibrand says some of these health insurance companies are trying to take advantage of patients. they are not supporting communities and families. and i have very serious concerns about in a statement, anthem's parent company elements said it, quote, never planned nor will we ever put a policy in place to not pay for medically necessary. anesthesia services. >> we will work directly with the senators to set the record straight. but voting in washington. i'm basil, john. >> a lifesaving the stem cell program at uc davis. health is getting a

one thing they are doing, i want to point out, you played the kennedy clip and the josh hawley clip.in asking, how many ncaa athletes are there? 500,000. how many transgender? less than 10. on thet, ty are celebrating that clip, as this is a nonissue. you lost entire election by telling people what they care about is not important, inflation, not a real issue. your plan here to tell us 10 athletes, total nonissue, good, stick with your plan and tell us things are not important. >> lawrence: we can do it all over again and lose another election. i like competition in elections, it is not fair getting steamrolled every year. i'm not in the democratic party. thanks. >> will: it is fun right now. >> lawrence: pricey presents, parents expected to pay $500 for their children's gifts this year, we'll explain next. of year. let's not lose focus on what really matters. in the name of the father, son, spirit. god, come to us. let us know your love, joy, peace. lord, you came into the world. now come into our hearts. amen. join me in praying every day this advent on hallow. need a last minute g

so senator hawley has a bill out it's called the credit card competition act.right? they would have to offer people a choice. also merchants would be able to choose different networks, so just the competition from that would bring a lot of that $138 billion down. but you're absolutely right, visa and mastercard, they're as bad as the banks in the terms of sort of the golden rolodexs in fending off any kind of regulatory challenge. so it's a lot proof money at stake, but they are going to fight hard for that. charles: yeah. the american people are watching. this is the kind of hinge that does unite folks on both sides of the political aisle, particularly apolitical folks. by the way, i know you were big on bitcoin. congratulations, you were absolutely right. we'll talk about that again because i've got a feeling that train keeps going. thanks a lot, my friend. [laughter] >> all right, charles, thanks. charles: by the way, bitcoin, right, let's face it, it had a pretty big boost yesterday. michael saylor on this show, i think when he gave us his target, 13 millio

i agree with senator hawley. the answer is who is going to do something to help merchants and retailers across this country. it talks about something called competition for god's sake. competition over this swipe fee. that's all we're asking for. give the merchants another way to process these fees through visa and mastercard. i hope we do get inspired to do something about this. we've got a bipartisan force behind it. i thank the senators for being here today. with that, the judiciary stands adjourned.

your colleague josh hawley said it was not 100% clear who trump really wants as secretary of defensee do you believe pete hegseth nomination stands tonight? >> well, that's i think that's probably most accurately spoken by josh i spoke to president trump and i spoke to pete both. they are still both all in the fight. president trump personally told me he wants to see pete get confirmed. and i think there's a there's a path to get there. it may be a little narrow, but i believe we can we can get him confirmed. he just got he has got to keep doing what he's doing. he's he's showing up he's answering the tough questions and after most of those meetings, i think people have a positive outlook about it do you believe it's more likely or less likely that he gets confirmed than it was 24 or 48 hours ago? oh, i think it's more likely now. i don't know if you got the opportunity to watch his mother on on fox today this morning, but she did just a phenomenal job. put a lot of those questions to rest and and he's up here working hard. and the more he meets with people as i said, the more positi

caroline hawley looks back on his rule. he took power in the year 2000.tate from his father. the new young presidentjust 3a of from his father. the new young president just 3a of the from his father. the new young presidentjust 3a of the time, and promised reform. after his inauguration, there was a brief period of greater political openness. but the old family wave rolling soon reasserted itself. powerwas wave rolling soon reasserted itself. power was to be handed down to his brother but when he was killed in a car crash, it was killed in a car crash, it was the quieter, somewhat awkward but shaka was next in line. he had been training as an eye doctor in london and he was called back to syria to prepare for taking over the presidency. with his british—born wife by his side, he first presented a new image of syria to the world. the west responded. there was even an audience with the queen. but the change that so many syrians hoped for at home failed to materialise. when an uprising against him again in 2011, he responded with tanks in the streets. as a c

senator josh hawley has said other things. he adds to the comments we showed moments ago, ari, pointing a finger at gop leadership for letting this come down the pike. you heard chad say we're up to the wire now. >> yeah. look, face it, if you are a house republican you operate under a curse. you are cursed. you are cursed by your margin and your lack of unity. with a three-vote margin the only way republicans in the house can get everything done is if they have complete unity. they have to stick together. they don't. what are you going to do if you are the speaker? you have to pass something. you can't get republicans to vote for it. not enough. so you have to ask the democrats to help you get it through. that's the problem. speaker johnson could pass it with nothing but republicans if republicans were unified. that is the curse of being a republican. now they have to figure out how to get unified and do it fast. >> harris: the most powerful person just won the house, white house and the senate. that's donald trump. he told t

republican senator josh hawley, also is glad about this move. >> chris wray is a republican.hink he was very bad f.b.i. director and i wish he wouldn't have been. i wish he would have been fantastic during his tenure at the f.b.i. and it is hard to find the high points. this is a guy who allowed or recruited informants in the catholic parishes and sent swat teams to the homes of pro-life demonstrators and a guy who did nothing when the f.b.i. repeatedly misled the fisa court. >> harris: that's a lot of low points for christopher wray and for america. we had to live through it. "the washington examiner" editorial board with the headline good riddance to wray. no f.b.i. director is entitled to his ten year term if he doesn't do his job. a decade is a maximum allowable tenure. not an entitlement. the president has every right to replace him. the f.b.i. needs a serious disinfect ant. some democrats feel quite differently. >> the f.b.i. has a 10-year term. the reason is to keep politics out of the f.b.i. so i think it's really regrettable he clearly is responding to pressure and c

i think josh hawley should listen to the conservative attorney general under dloump at one point said over his dead body, his words, not mine, would he put kash pa fell in a role. i'm very concerned when you look at what our country is facing right now, a major cyber attack starting out in china against our phone companies, very, very scary thing. we just had a classified briefing on it. when you look at the terrorist threats around the world, when you look at threats on members that the fbi investigates against people both sides of the aisle, this is not a time to put someone in that wants to go into the fbi on a revenge tour against the enemies of donald trump, which he has made very clear. so i hope my colleagues in the end, this is going to be -- come down to are there republicans who are willing to look at this and say, all we need is i think four, and say, wait a minute, this is not the best nominee for this josh. >> you know, it seems like there are two stages to this. there's this immediate period where there's a big push from maga right and trump's allies to put pressure on r

this is what josh hawley had to say about patel's prospects on the hill. let's take a listen. >> so far, i haven't heard anything from anybody suggesting he is not qualified. i have heard a lot of ranting and raving and huffing and puffing from the left. people like john bollton about how they don't like his policies. that's fine. but he's qualified for the job. >> just to like put a fine point on this. i'm not sure if he meant people from the left and people like john bolton or whether he is suggesting john bolton is a leftist. i mean, republicans seem to think he is a shoe in here. do you agree? >> i don't think that is done at all. we have not even seen the fbi background check. which we are going to get just like every line agent. the fbi has a background check and i'm a member of the judiciary committee. i have not seen that yet. and we haven't had the open hearing and we have had a number of republican senators make clear they will not do recess appointments where there is no public hearing. for these kinds of nominees. i would also think that josh h

>> look, senator hawley is entirely correct. role entirely seriously. huge amount of deference in that senate republican conference to give president trump the nominees that he wants in these posts. but they are not going to advocate their responsibility of advise and consent all together. i do think that, you know, any time than i can remember, these hearings are going to mean a lot. because it's not just pete hegseth allegations coming out. remember the hearings that were made. he ultimately had an opportunity to address all of that. he is a sitting supreme court justice now. there is an element of that. but i also think there are real policy questions that they are going to have for niece 234078 knees all the senator watching it. >> bret: meantime, meghan, there were a lot of questions to president biden overseas. not many answers about the pardon he just issued. take a listen. >> mr. president, why did you change your mind and pardon your son? >> mr. president, why did you pardon your son?

pre smoot/hawley. we're a massive trade deficit running country where we have the global store value. i actually think that tariffs now will act in a very different way than they acted in the past. and again, when you think about the rationale for tariffs, if you think about the last time trump engaged in tariffs, specifically on steel and aluminum. you remember, biden ran on a platform saying he would immediately unwind the tariffs and he didn't. the reason he didn't is because china specifically is a state actor and a state actor that is, let's just say, not one of our friends. they can act uneconomically to put some of our industries out of business if that's what they decide to do. they can act in nonmarket terms. so when they start dumping steel or aluminum because they want to be the global, let's say, manufacturing of steel and aluminum and want us to rely on them for those things, this has to be something that the new president coming in must be thinking about tariffs from both a national secur
