for comcast/nbc universal, and i am very honored to be able to introduce south dakota's senator, john thune, who just arrived by what sounds like was a bumpy air travel. so we're very glad he made it. senator thune is beginning his second term as chairman of the committee on commerce and transportation where he's going to continue to play a pivotal role in of the issues we've been talking about all day. the commerce committee, as everybody i think here probably knows, touches on virtually every aspect of the american economy. i mean, rail, aviation, oceans, fisheries, weather, everything. so it's a broad realm that the senators has, but he has focused a lot on the issues of internet and digital policy because he recognizes that it's the bedrock of the nation's 21st century economy. and he's urged policymakers across both sides of the aisle to be, quote, as nimble as our world class businesses and our foreign competitors. as someone who hails from south dakota which has a population of, i'm told, 482 people, he's an advocate for some of the issues that we were talking about in the last panel

senator john thune and representative cathy mcmorris rodgers spoke to reporters about the bills they hope to pass over the next 200 days. >> good afternoon everyone, thank you for coming to philadelphia. we will really reimagine this government. awaye just a few steps from where our founding fathers came together to forge a new government, a government of the people, by the people and for the people. i am not sure our founding fathers would recognize the government that we have today. we have seen hundreds of thousands of regulations by bureaucrats. we have a tax code that takes winners and losers. we have a failed government attempt to fix our health care system, which is getting worse every day. the american people voted to change course. i have been calling our founding fathers moment, a moment for us to be partnering to restore the balance of power that was envisioned by our founding fathers. a moment to think they can advance conservative policy which will truly lead to opportunity and liberty for all. the thirdat marks consecutive year in a row that the house and senate retreat

john thune said congress would cooperate with trump on the voter fraud, even though senator thune does not believe there was any election fraud here. on these two front, who is more on the back of their heels? who is in jeopardy of i guess upsetting the constituents? the president or the lawmakers? >> i think that's what we're seeing play out here. there is a real tension of what is the republican party, who is driving the agenda of the republican party and a lot of lawmakers feel like they misunderstood their own electorate. they're as surprised as anybody that donald trump is now the president of the united states. they're trying to figure that out as they go along. part of why i'm describing the retreat as uncomfortable because senator john thune is getting a question and has to come up with a question on the fly because this was something just was tweeted or on the fly. this is a dynamic a lot of these lawmakers do not like and are uncomfortable. when president obama came in and he had democrats in the house and senate,hey were all on the same page, working together, democrats in c

republican senator john thune will be joining us.the confirmation hearing for wilbur ross and we want to ask him about the future of donald trump's cabinet. plus, donald trump says he wants to make america great again, starting with the economy, so it is a good time to look at the economic track record of his predecessors. who did the best, who did the worst, and what does it tell us about what president-elect trump has left to? that is next. this is bloomberg. ♪ david: this is bloomberg. i am david westin. back to- we will head capitol hill where senator john thune joins us live. welcome on this big day. senator, i want to start with where we are in the confirmation process. you have jurisdiction over some of them, but not all of them. how long will it take before the new president has the cabinet in place? sen. thune: i hope we get as many of them confirmed as quickly as we can. my concern is you have a lot of important positions, and the longer they are vacant, the harder it is for the new team to get up to speed, get on the groun

republican senator john thune joins us right now.enator, thank you for your patience with all this going on. how do you feel about that, sir? >> well, look, the first step we have to repeal the old and got to replace it with the alternative. replacing it can happen on the day that we repeal it. i expect there will be certain elements of replacement piece of legislation that would be enconcluded in the bill that repeals it. it can be done through rifle shot pieces of legislation. it can be done through administrative action. there are, there will be another opportunity, another budget resolution and hopefully reconciliation bill later this year other pieces of it could be replaced. the fact of the matter is, we've got to repeal itç first, everybody knows that. we've gotreplace it. the replacement timing is something being discussed right now but ultimately we'll come to a place where we have consensus on that. neil: i know you're busy doing a lot of other things today. we're getting word as this hearing is going on, senator, when ask

david: senator john thune, thank you very much. we appreciate it. good luck with those hearings.confirmation hearing on bloomberg. alix: joining us now is tina davis. and moments, we will start to hear from rex tillerson, the big question is, can the ceo of a major oil company become the head diplomat of the u.s.? in your experience, can he? tina: what is interesting about this choice is a guy who has no government experience whatsoever, but a lot of experience dealing with foreign leaders, doing rather tough negotiations in places that are not always friendly to u.s. interests. his pronounced speech, earlier, but it's a much harder line on russia than you might've expected, saying recent activities have disregarded american interests. this comes from the guy that was able to work his way through some sanctions to keep fields open in russia and have that relationship. was that dynamic surprising? man who wass a behind exxon's huge push into russia in the 90's. --one point, russia where russia was the place where exxon had the most acreage. voice ofto echo the the administration h

john thune called it a work in progress, the coordination between congressional republicans and the whitehink they do have a long way to go. >> mark halpern, so different than anything that certainly has happened -- that i can remember. i remember george w. bush gets elected. in congress, he comes up, we are going to do education reform. no child left behind. a week later, he'll invite ted kennedy over and they will watch a movie together and a week and a half later talk about their committees what they are going to look like and two weeks later, start to see the outlines of the legislation of the debate. that is is not happening here. as mark barnicle said yesterday, the new president doesn't sleep. 20 hours a day. it's just -- it's just rapid fire. and a lot of these congressmen and congresswoman can't keep up with the new pace. >> you saw in paul ryan's interview a guy ahead of the curve in adjusting they want to get stuff done on conservative policies and willing to block out. for now at least try to gloss over some of the carnival aspects what is going on at the white house. the pres

south dakota republican senator john thune is chairman of the senate republican conference.oins us tonight from capitol hill. senator, thanks for being here. what is your take on the chances of all of this coming together, repeal and replace at the same time? >> i think they are very good, bret. you have a unity among the due administration, house leadership, senate leadership, that we need to get this done. it's a promise we have made to the american people. it starts with repealing obamacare. then, obviously, replacing it with something much better. we believe, we want to come up with health care coverage that is personalized, patient centered, affordable to every american. last night's vote was the starting point of that process. >> bret: here are two house houe democrats talking about what they believe, what they are hearing from some of the republican colleagues. >> now, they are shooting with real bullets at the affordable care act. and a number of senators, in particular, are really starting to get cold feet. >> repeal and replace has only alliteration going forward.

i had a chance to ask the number three senate republican john thune if whether he supports this thising back waterboarding and going back to the route before that went into law. he wasn't supportiive. >> those issues are law. congress has spoken. and when it comes to enhanced interrogation techniques, my understanding is i haven't seen the new executive action or what's being proposed but my understanding is they're going to look at, examine some of those issues. with respect to torture, that's banned. the army field manual makes that very clear. the law now is tied to the army field manual. >> reporter: this issue divides the republicans at this retreat where they're trying to get on the same page behind donald trump's rather ambitious agenda. i talked to former vice president dick cheney ease daughter, liz, a congressman from wyoming, and she believes the enhanced techniques worked but is not necessarily supportive of changing the law, would not go that far. it shows this idea if donald trump goes this far and wants congress to change the law, we might have a fight with his own par

. >> with respect to torture, that's >> reporter: south dakota senator john thune was one of many republicansin who showed no interest in reinstating harsh interrogation tactics. >> i think it would take a change in the law, and congress is on record opposing that. >> reporter: but candidate donald trump was an enthusiastic proponent. >> i'd bring back a hell of a lot worse than water boarding. >> reporter: there are some in congress who subscribe to his view, like new gop congresswoman liz cheney, whose father championed the use of enhanced interrogation when he was vice president. >> so i do support enhanced interrogation. i think that it's something that clearly has helped us in the past to prevent attacks and save lives. >> reporter: republican lawmakers came to philadelphia to strategize on their top priorities, like replacing obamacare and cutting taxes. so the torture talk has been a distraction, as has mr. trump's call for a major investigation into voter fraud he insists cost him the popular vo >> of those votes cast, none of them come to me. but when you look at the people that are

senator john thune said it could take two or three years for the replacement to be implemented. representative chris collins said republicans have six months to do it. and senator mitch mcconnell refused to give a timeline, just saying it would happen. while republicans fight with each other over timelines, i think it's appropriate to ask, if they did have a replacement, what would that replacement be? well, president-elect trump has the answer. when asked what we should replace obamacare with he said, and i quote, something terrific, end quote. when pressed for further details and more specificity he said, and i quote, something that people will really, really, really, really like, end quote. mr. speaker, you can't make this stuff up. it would be laughable if it weren't so tragic. it's tragic because what republicans are trying to do is take health care protections away from millions and millions of families. now, no one in this congress has to worry about health care if the affordable care act is repealed, and the donald trumps of the world certainly don't have to worry about

i interviewed a few weeks ago john thune, third ranking republican in the senate, he said we have basically all we can cut from the discretionary part of the budget. and when they looked at the discretionary cuts that came out of the sequester, you found that the republican congress couldn't pass bills embodying those cuts because there was too little money. their constituents didn't want it. so if they want to make headway, entitlements is where they have to go. >> when you look at the federal budget and what has been growing the most through the decades has been medicare spending, et cetera, the entitlements -- >> especially if you're committed as donald trump is to increasing defense spending. >> right. some would argue that's a crucial role of government to defend the borders and that is a justified expense. and then the issue becomes how do you deal with entitlements which grow on their own. it takes literally an act of congress to change them and reduce them. so many vested interests, the inertia sets in. nobody wants to let constituents know. the key is can you do something now so th
