" i think this is just the tipping -- you know, this is the conversation starter. because obviously, the president knows when he says we'll take gaza, he knows the united states can't invade another country.

senator josh hawley says he's a little concerned about votes for tulsi.listen. >> i'm worried by what i hear from some of my republican colleagues. i'm worried that her mom -- nomination may be in jeopardy. and i'm just worried about what that will mean. griff: ryan, are you worried about a tulsi or any of the others? >> i'm not, no. in fact, i think all three from this past week, rfk jr., kash patel and til i gabbard, came out stronger in -- tulsi gabbard, came out stronger than they were going in. i think they demonstrated a couple of things; one, that they are committed to america first policies and that they are extremely competent. and president biden -- excuse me, president trump put these nominees in place because he values competence over political party. and i think all three demonstrated that kind of expertise and strength and commitment to his administration. griff: if they don't pass, ryan, will it be trouble for whoever votes existence them in the eyes of president trump -- against hem in the eyes of president trump? >> what you have seen fro

this week of february 2021, only two republicans voted against all of them as senator ted cruz and josh hawleyher of whom ranking members at the time or committee chairs at the time. now if you look at it, there are a dozen democrats, including ranking members and powerful democrats who pretend to ask serious questions of nominees who have voted against every single one of donald trump's nominees. they don't care about him having a cabinet. right now they are talking about holding up nominations to the state department so that money can go to foreign countries. we're dealing with an extremely obstructionist party. >> we always think of all the midterms are going to be blood letting for republicans because the party in power often loses seats in the midterms. but, given how things are going. given how doge and musk and vance and the whole crew are finding so much waste. more fraud, undoubtedly they will find abuse, couldn't this actually be a real opening for republicans with this team in place to build on this momentum that they found in 2024, chris? that's how if things keep going the way the

and, you know, that's why lindsey graham and josh hawley and even trump's the facial expression on siouxsie trump's chief of staff's face, yesterday were appalled and said that these are this is a proposal that is entirely unhelpful. >> cosmo. meanwhile the trump administration, as you know, revoked temporary protected status for almost 350,000 venezuelans who arrived in the us recently, leaving them open essentially in the future to deportations. i know you represent thousands of venezuelan americans in your district. what do you say to them? >> jose, the fact that the homeland security secretary, kristi noem, donald trump's homeland security secretary, called venezuelans here in this country who are here because they fled maduro's oppressive and brutal regime. dirtbags. i mean, the insult is breathtaking. beyond that, they have not prioritized, as they said they would, people who are criminals and dangerous to leave in the united states. what they're doing is they're going after people who are lawfully here, who followed a lawful process like tps, like the humanitarian parole system. and

and senator josh hawley says, quote, i don't know that i think it's the best use of u.s. resources to spend a bunch of money in gaza. i think maybe i'd prefer that to be spent in the united states first. let's get right to cnn's alayna treene at the white house, where i imagine there is some fallout this morning, or at least people behind you watching the reaction very closely. >> i mean, absolutely, john, what the president said yesterday was truly remarkable and stunning to hear, especially during a press conference. one thing that struck me, though, was that the president seemed to be building toward this sentiment all day, even before prime minister benjamin netanyahu arrived at the white house yesterday afternoon. now, i do want to just focus again on what the president said. he said that he believes that the united states could take over gaza. he said will own it. he also would not rule out using u.s. troops to do so. again, just very remarkable comments. and again, as well. this is not something off handed and not off handed rhetoric. i should say that the presiden

. >> josh hawley, lindsey graham of both voiced some skepticism, and we're waiting for reaction from you are the. you were born overseas. the child of of of diplomats a little before usaid was founded. but i know you saw usaid at work over the last several decades, and you've got strong feelings about this move from elon musk and the president to basically shut it down. >> i do, because aid is a very important instrument of u.s. national and security policy. so when the president is talking about shutting down aid, this is another case, john, where our adversaries are cheering, china is cheering, russia is cheering. in fact, one of putin's cronies tweeted out right away, you know, good work, elon, because they would like to see the united states retreat. these development programs are a tiny part of our budget. but if you ask anybody in the united states military, they will say that those investments are a force multiplier. and so this is another case where the president is serving the interests of our adversaries, and they're doing it in an illegal manner. so you asked also what we

like, i was asking josh hawley because, you know, he was sort of like, yeah, let's get rid. >> of usaid china's belt and road initiative. what do you think about those? he's like, oh, well, those are great, but they should just exist somewhere else and say with the education department, you've seen legislation from senator mike rounds that sure would eliminate the education department, but would take these critical programs for low income schools and just move them to another department and take student loans and move them to treasury. and so it seems like there is a bit of we're going to eliminate the government, but also we're going to take these pieces and move them somewhere else, which is just i mean, this is the whole transparency thing, too. this is everyone trying to figure out this stuff is not being done with a lot of clarity, transparency, kind of we're going x, y and z. and so i think there's still a sense of what is actually going to happen here. how is this going to all shake out. >> a lot of questions. cnbc correspondent emily wilkins thank you my friend. and president bi

bernie sanders and josh hawley have introduced bipartisan legislation to immediately cap credit carderest rates at 10%. that would be an enormous savings for consumers. the senators, noting that a recent forbes report found the average credit card interest rate is more than 28% in 2022, credit card companies generated $130 billion just in interest and fees. banks and other lenders won't like it if it happens. but on the campaign trail, president trump said he does support a 10% cap. coming up, the trump administration hires back a controversial figure who was fired during trump's first term. the role he'll now be playing at the he'll now be playing at the state carl: believe me, when it comes to investing, you'll love carl's way. take a left here please. driver: but there's a... carl's way is the best way. client: is it? at schwab, how i choose to invest is up to me. driver: exactly! i can invest and trade on my own... client: yes, and let them manage some investments for me too. let's move on, shall we? no can do. client: i'll get out here. where are you going?? schwab. schwab! schw

you had josh hawley saying, well, this is an audit and they're going to present. we're just waiting for the report. will there be a report? >> well, that's right. this is a made up agency. that donald trump created by decree on the first day that he returned to office. it has no authorization from congress. it has no formal powers, number one. number two, they have not stated or shown their work. they have actually made a number of extraordinary, damaging, false claims about the work of usaid. elon musk. it seems to me, has, you know, with a broad brush. tarred and even, you know, smeared all of the employees of this agency, which, again, is a humanitarian aid agency providing aid to starving people around the world, among its many other functions. he's called it a quote unquote, criminal organization. he said, we're feeding it to the, quote, wood chipper. donald trump has amplified not only those sweeping critical remarks of the whole agency, but he has essentially. said they're finding this huge amounts of abuse. that we are not going to document. but they are a

that could, you know, potentially be a problem for her, because now we've got republican senator josh hawleylican colleagues, adding that her nomination could be in jeopardy. do you think that's the case? might she not make it through? >> yeah, this. >> is a real. >> problem for her. >> you know, going into the hearing. we were we were reporting that there were. big three republican no's against tulsi. that would have been bill cassidy, susan collins and mitch mcconnell. she might have picked up additional no's after that performance. >> you know. >> lisa murkowski has been on the fence. other senators have been on. >> the fence. and as. >> you know, you know, the moment you get to 4 or 5 no's, that's going to be the end of your your nomination. and so she was already on the line, already very precarious. and i don't think that performance did her any favors. >> i also want to talk about kash patel. you wrote that the fbi director nominee refused to say if he would target trump's rivals for investigations, and kind of tried to distance himself from his own previous remarks that were captured

. >> well, it was josh hawley's idea to get it off government devices. and then it picked up steam and we got it. i mean, we got the head cut off the snake. let's keep the head cut off. this is a terrible idea. uh, and the only way to to get rid of tick to bring tiktok back is if it is completely disconnected to the chinese government. it doesn't need to be connected to ours either. i can't think of a worse idea than the sovereign wealth fund. >> yeah, i think this is another ridiculous idea that trump is throwing out there that will never go anywhere unless jared kushner is going to come back and, you know, talk to the saudis and run the sovereign sovereign wealth fund that he's, you know, sort of become accustomed to doing outside the government. but like, this is an absurd thing that's never going to happen in our government. it's not what we do. it's what countries in the middle east with enormous oil reserves do like this is just another trump distraction to make us think we're going to buy tiktok. and what make it a state run media operation? we al

listen to just one of those exchanges that our friend and colleague ryan nobles had with senator josh hawley. >> nicholas isn't the responsibility of congress to, if you want the next budget to zero out usaid aid, isn't that. your job? that's not the executive branch's job? >> well, yes. >> but listen, i. >> mean. >> the executive has. >> enormous authority. >> i talked to senator john kennedy, who told me that there was too much focus on the process part of it, and not enough on the actual spending. i talked with senator john cornyn, who said that he appreciated the influence, the positive influence that elon musk was having. and i talked to or attempted to talk to senator tillis of north carolina as he was heading into a committee room, and i asked him whether he had had any discussions himself with the white house about any concerns about elon musk and doj's access to treasury payment system or opm personnel files or usaid. and he said, why would he need to be in touch with the white house if he doesn't have any concerns? in just a few moments ago, katy speaker mike johnson said he was ac

this from republican senator josh hawley from missouri, who said, i don't know that i think it's the best use of u.s. resources to spend a bunch of money in gaza. i think that maybe i prefer that to be spent in the united states first. so, madison, what happened to america first from donald trump? is that out the window? >> well, i think. >> this could. >> be opening up conversations moving forward. >> and i think. >> president trump. >> last night. >> what he was doing was putting the middle east on notice, putting the world on notice that the status quo will not stand similar to what we're seeing going on here in the united states with doge. and other. things happening with. >> our government. >> he's saying we cannot continue to see this go on the way that it has in the middle east for decades. the palestinian people deserve better. the middle east deserves better. and so maybe we see talks about saudi coming in and potentially developing here, making it a habitable place for palestinians and others to live in the future. we'll see what happens. obviously, steve witkoff visiting g

there have been a few senators, including the likes of josh hawley, who, and mike rounds, who told me very explicitly that, in fact, that if a judge makes a determination, a ruling, that it is up to the administration to follow that decision. there are other republicans, however, who have suggested they did interpret j.d. vance's tweet over the weekend in which he said, quote, judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power. they were suggesting that we didn't understand it in the way that he so wrote it. and i think, i think, if i may, joy, i think we need to be very clear here that back in 2021, j.d. vance, before he was even a candidate for the us senate, appeared on a podcast in which he very explicitly said that in the scenario that the courts were to try to overrule their mass purge of a pending trump administration come 2025, that, in the words of andrew jackson, that if the supreme court wants to make that ruling, then they should come and enforce it. and as you mentioned, that was andrew jackson's words after the supreme court ruled that the state of georgia

>> a miss to the populist mind mill between josh hawley and bernie sanders who have teamed up on a bill to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. it's true donald trump promised this on the campaign trail, but it's a price control and a bad idea. people who don't have stellar credit would lose access to these cards, they might have to go to pawnbrokers, everyone else would lose their reward points or cash back because the money has to come from somewhere. paul: all right. and remember, if you have your own hit or miss, be sure to send it to us it's jer on fnc. thanks to my panel and thank all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot. hope the see you right here next week -- hope to see you right here next week. >> a jam-packed weekend for president trump after hosting an invite-only dinner for senate republicans at a mar-a-lago last night, he's getting ready to head to the big seize -- big easy. kevin corke in for jon scott, and this is "the fox report." ♪ kevin: meantime, the president says he's immediately revoking his predecessor's access the intelligence briefings just as mr. biden did t

and then senator josh hawley, who was a trump supporter to the hilt, said, i'm worried that her nominationsince it's the national security world. tell us what you're hearing about gabbard and her chances. >> i think. >> she's in the most trouble. and it's partly bluntly that she's a former democrat. and there were sort of basic questions that she. wouldn't answer. a question from a democrat about, you know, edward snowden. and so i think she's. >> in the most trouble. >> and what's fascinating in this deeply divided senate. >> is a single. >> vote could make a difference. pete hegseth was one vote away from being blocked. thom tillis didn't vote against him. so i think she's. in trouble. i think kennedy again, cassidy. it was amazing to watch him as a physician bring up all these issues with, you know, all these vaccines that have he's seen as a physician help people. so if there is a flip, it would be those two nominations. but i do think that kash patel will will get through and be confirmed. >> david. >> talk a little bit more. >> about thom tillis. my understanding. >> had been that he

played some sound from a couple of weeks ago of, i think his name is jesse watters, interviewing josh hawleyng things about christopher wray that i had no idea were being peddled in traffic about how he was a criminal, a lawbreaker, how they'd gone for eight years. i mean, christopher wray came on trump's radar, i believe, originally because he defended chris christie in all the bridgegate stuff. he is, i believe, a conservative, identifies as a conservative. in his private life. he ran the fbi with his head down. he was closely aligned with with the agents. to the degree anyone in management can be. he was closely aligned with bill barr when he was. i mean, the idea that what has been trafficked in right wing media that emanates from donald trump's lies about the bureau that has gone on for nine years, we don't sit around here three people sort of bemoaning the state of the fbi as distracted in light of a domestic terrorism threat. we sit here as citizens of this country and taxpayers with a weakened fbi because of donald trump. is it honorable for merrick garland and chris wray to say and

we've also heard from josh hawley, though we've heard from rand paul, suggesting that that is antithetical this is also really just a, i think, an extension of what we have seen from the last two weeks in terms of his domestic policy agenda, in effectively throwing out the normal governing structure and now extending that to us diplomacy, or i guess i don't know if diplomacy is the right word in this situation, a direct idea of taking over a sovereign piece of land where millions of individuals reside. this is, i think, a moment when you're looking, jonathan, for a president trump at a at a moment in which he has handed the keys, by and large, to elon musk. i think usaid is a very good example of the ramifications of somebody who promised to deconstruct the so-called administrative state. the usaid has just got off the phone with a foreign service officer directly working on the ukraine mission for the united states. there are 200 plus individuals, u.s. personnel from usaid on the ground. and the concern from this foreign service officer was the immediate repercussions to the us's efforts

one, josh hawley — a republican senator — saying he didn't think it was the best use of united states to spend a bunch of money in gaza. and, you know, really, there are a lot of questions here — law is a big one. and we could be talking about us military, you know, and that seems to fly in the face of what donald trump's, sorts of conflicts. the 51st state of america. and many are wondering to what extent we see this talking off the cuff. at times, we did see him reading off a piece of paper or reading off a prompter. so this wasn't alljust kind of off the cuff — you know, what we sometimes see donald trump do, just speaking for hours on end, just from his own — his own thoughts. but, you know, at the same time, if you look at some of his statements coming in, and you also look at the team illegal under united nations rulings. so, you know, this does have some basis in terms friendly president to the that we've ever seen. information about this — potentially when we hear even but, of course, you know, one last thing to say about president trump — before he was president, obviously he

senator josh hawley should say.ether or not this plan would fall for it us this plan'wodld fatl for it us in the region. troops in the region. of course would likely see a of that would likely see a lot of opposition here. we're hearing opposition here; we�*re'hearing lot of feedback here. i say steve who is envoy the john's special envoy to the was on fox news, trying 77cl7arify77 7 77 77 77clarify7thi7ngs.777 7 7 77 77clarify7thi7ngs.77—7—777 7 7 77 77cl7arify7t7hi7ngs.77—7—77s7te7v7e7 7 77 to clarify things. —— steve witkoff. he said he trying witkoff. he said he was trying to these lives better —— witkoff. he said he was trying to people's lives better —— vthesepeople�*s uvesbetter and said if there were different he said if there were different places further to places further palestinians to let them make that live, let them make that choice. again, lots of rchoice; again. lots of still to be answered. alsotell|ng 77 775157téiiih§7pfaieét7ifiia7ns and also telling palestinians that moving their land that moving
