i want to leave you with an excerpt from a statement from the laken riley family. prevent and save innocent lives and families from going through the heart break we experienced and laken would have been 23 on january 10th and no greater gift that could be given to her every single member of congress should get behind this purely common sense bill that will make our country and communities safer. mr. speaker, god help us. god help us. i yield back. >> three minutes to the distinguished gentleman from new york, napa. >> mr. speaker. strung up to hr-29 and going to express my deepest condolences to laken riley's family. her death was a tragedy and we all mourn her loss. may her memory be a blessing. i wish we were considering legislation that was worthy of her name. instead the republican majority is beginning this new congress where they left off in the last one, with legislation that targets and scapegoats immigrants but does nothing to address the real problems in our broken immigration system or while ignoring basic due process and constitutional principles. among

the laken riley act would require i.c.e. detention for illegal aliens who were charged with, arrested for or convicted of any burglary, theft, larceny or shoplifting offense. h.r. 29 further requires the department of homeland security to issue a detainer for those illegal aliens and take custody of them effectively and expeditiously. it would also allow states to bring a civil action against derelict federal officials who refused to enforce these laws. joe biden and alejandro mayorkas, i'm looking at you. this bill passed the republican house in march of last year. but senate democrats stopped it cold. i said at the time that today the name on the bill is laken riley. tomorrow it will be another victim of these policies, another son or daughter of a loved one. it won't stop until this administration is stopped and that can only be done by the american people. well, thank god the american people have done exactly that. they've given this congress and this president the tools and the mandate to secure our borders and remove e

>> bill now heads to senate named after laken riley, a georgia student who was killed by you an undocument immigrant. he was arrested and released earlier >> heads up. >> happy new year. o behalf of house republican conference it is my honor to kickoff first leadership stake out of this year. we're excited. as republicans, democrats have made the bed they lie in, they need to own their decisions every single day. just recently president biden has been pardoning sex okay -- eoffenders. we need to fight against this bad policy. this is their mess, we will clean it up. fortunately there is a better path forward. it is a stark contrast but difference between the democrat and republicans is that our agenda is about opportunity. freedom, prosperity, and putting america first. while their agenda is about control, depend ants and america last we have an opportunity for a matsive politicalry alignment we're excite the about that. we're have a unified republican government that wants to put america first again.er we also won on building diverse coalition, i am committed to doubling down on these eff

we are starting today with the laken riley act. a bill we passed last congress, but chuck schumer made it clear he was not going to allow through his far left radical senate. now we have a new senate and john thune wants to move that bill as early as this week. so that is good news to people like addison. real people like addison who have real stories. where washington left them behind and didn't care about their problems. the good news for them is there is a new light in washington. there is a new sign of hope in washington where we are going to be addressing the problems that families are facing. we are going to do it quickly. this is going to move at rapid speed because the problems america faces cannot wait. so this congress is open for business and it's ready to move fast. you are going to see that aggressive agenda led by our first ballot speaker, mike johnson. mr. johnson: thank you all. welcome to the 119th congress. it has already gotten off to a swift start. it has to. i tell you what there is a real feeling on capitol hi

laken riley was in february of 2024. look at how many people since then have been murdered or raped in our country due to somebody being in this country illegally and come to find out there is a thug or gang or just a criminal that came across and was let out of another prison from another country. >> dana: listen to tom homan. the border czar under trump. >> i've been saying for four years their open border isn't mismanagement or incompetence. it is by design. they want that border to remain open until the last day they are in office. >> dana: it is interesting we're getting the big states are saying they don't want to work with the federal government. what do you hear -- anything you have heard from a constituents that stuck with you that you could share to help us understand what the people of georgia feel? >> the laken riley murder was in my district. athens is in my district. i tell you what the family told me and i don't see how you ever get over this. they expressed -- when i told them we had a bill that would com

host: so ronald, you mentioned the laken riley act. this is nbc news, it says that the house passes laken riley act to amp up border enforcement and put pressure on democrats. the bill, name forward nursing school student who was murdered by a man in the country illegally, passed the house last year, the new republican-controlled senate is expected to take it up friday. so we will let you know if that happens. the vote, by the way, was 264-159. to pass that act in the house. and this is can be don in rhode island, independent line. you're next. caller: hello. hi. i've been watching you guy for a very long time,s the first time call, first time i got through, actually. host: great, go right ahead, don. we're listening. caller: i mentioned comments on earlier thing, it jumped me over to open forum. i watch a lot of c-span you get the range of callers, people that you interview as well. and i also like to apologize for america on -- to you on behalf of america for sometimes the way people, i'm sure you guys get a kick out of it when you'r

the laken riley act will let i.c.e. arrest and detain illegal aliens who have committed theft, burglary or shoplifting until they are deported. we've got nine nfl athletes hit by home invasions across the country. minority, hispanic, black communities getting hit hard by illegal alien crime. now we've got nine liberal senators saying yes, move the laken riley bill. they are for it. what do you think? >> well i think they are finally listening to the american people. that their number one concern this biden inflation is the safety and security of their family so we've heard that over and over. this was the number one polling issue was the number one issue for at least a year before the election, so i think they hear them saying that. liz: we now have news coming in. the trump motorcade is now approaching capitol hill in moment we're expecting to see president trump exit his secret service protected vehicle and we're going to stay on the news there. it's breaking news happening right now. let's please listen to president

the laken riley has our full support because it would help save innocent lives and prevent more families from going through the kind of heartbreak we've experienced. laken would have been 23 on january 10. there is no greater gift that could be given to her and our country than to continue her legacy by saving lives through this bill. every single member of congress should be able to get behind this purely commonsense bill that will make our country and communities safer. so to my colleagues, please listen to allyson and john. understand their pain. hear their pleas for action. they need us to pass the laken riley act. every american family needs us to pass the laken riley act, and they deserve it. today, on the eve of what should have been laken riley's 23rd birthday, let's honor her legacy and advance a p bipartisan bill that will help us save american lives. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. mr. grassley: i'm here to support the laken riley act. this legislation comes within the jurisdiction of the judi

lyric the laken riley boom passing both houses of overwhelming from them and going for the criminals and that's i'll liz liz macdonald router on all this. liz: thank you, larry kudlow. going for them with mcdonalds. >> cutting the fire department's budget by millions and nothing to say today? >> what is the watch wigs with the water in palisades running out last night and hydrants in the fire fighterrer going on the block. >> local folks are trying to figure that out. >> gavin newsom is an absolute blubbering idiot. this is a wakeup call. this is the kind of thing they have tribunals for. >> at some point goes beyond negligence and there's something that's almost criminally intentional. >> they must be held responsible. liz: california residents, law may recollects and hollywood celebrities and governor newsom and la mayor have got to go. there's cl colossal fai failured the wind, tram, everyone else but themselves for empty fie hydrants, no water -- no rescue trucks and a fire department they depleted with budget cuts and we have a celebrity that left los angeles years ago because o

you saw with the laken riley act and i remember back last congress when we had the laken riley act thereme even some of the shrew that would question why are you bring up like that if you know the senate is not good bring it up? isn't that just a messaging bill? we said no, it's smart policy, the right policy and were going to stand up for what's right. whether the senate will do the right thing or not. ultimately, if you look at what happened with the laken riley act. mike collinsville that only passed again this time with more democrats supports a very bipartisan out of the house as it was last congress but now we had to willing senate with senator thune is a majority leader willing to bring the bill up and that will likely be the very first built that president donald trump gets to sign when he becomes the 47th president. so just like with some of the other bills we are going to continue to stand up for what's right. this week you're seeing a few of those. one of them was common sense bills that we had acid built said men cannot play in women's sports. i travel all across the country

the federal government is to protect its citizens. >> we all want to laken riley today. the senate voted to move the bill forward and start debate on it. >> democrats want to have a robust debate where we can offer amendments and improve the bill. the republican majority unanimously supports the legislation, but it needs 60 votes to become law. so at least 7 senate democrats would have to vote to pass it to every single member of congress should be able to get behind. this purely common sense. bill that will make our country and communities safer. some democrats say they have concerns with the current bill like senator ron wyden. there are provisions in today's legislation that i would never vote for the final package, but other democrats have committed to voting for it. and senator john fetterman says he thinks it will be enough to pass if we as a party as democrats. we can't come up with 7 rebotes them. i would describe that as one of the reasons why we lost the final vote in the senate could happen as soon as next week in washington. i'm hannah brandt. the department

you saw with the laken riley act.emember back last congress when we had the laken riley act, there were even some in this room that would question why are you bringing a bill like that if you know the senate isn't going to bring it up, isn't it just a messaging bill? no, we said it's the right policy, the right policy, and we're standing up for what's right, whether the senate will do the right thing or not. so ultimately, if you look what happened with the laken riley act, mike collins' bill not only passed again this time with more democrats support, so very bipartisan out of the house, as it was last congress. but now we have a willing senate with senator thune as the majority leader willing to bring the bill up and that bill likely will be the very first bill that president donald trump gets to sign when he becomes the 47th president of the united states. so just like with some of the other bills, we're going to continue to stand up for what's right. this week you're seeing a few of those. one of the most commonse

on laken riley, today the senate will vote on a motion to proceed on the laken riley act. the senate invoked cloture on this bill last week with a strong bipartisan vote. as i said last week, democrats want to have a robust debate where we can offer amendments and r improve this bill. this issue is very important. americans deserve for us to debate the issue seriously, including by considering amendments from the democratic side. we're going to ask our republican colleagues to allow for debate and votes on amendments. i hope my republican colleagues will allow for it. and finally, on the january 6 pardons -- not finally. next to finally. l donald trump promised to pardon the violent mob which stormed the capitol and attacked our police officers on january 6. instead of helping working families -- instead of focussing on helping working families or lowering health care costs or making life better for the american people, donald trump's very first priority seems to be pardoning the january 6 rioters. and yesterday on fox news sunday, the vice president-elect, jd vance, feeli

i think laken riley would be alive today if it weren't for those policies, but young women now have to for a run because we have millions of these unvetted illegals living in our communities every single day. shame on them for their vote yesterday, i'm hopeful we are able to have bipartisan vote in the senate to have this common sense policy forward and thank goodness only 12 days until president trump takes office. >> this floor vote in the senate taking place on friday which would have been laken riley's 23rd birthday. john fetterman in the senate has co-sponsored it and gary peters, democrat out of michigan says he will support it as well. so, if it does pass what will the impact be particularly in sanctuary cities. >> it will force compliance with these detainers. if you are illegal immigrant and committing a crime in communities you should be arrested. you should be detained or you should be deported does send a sanctuary cities now the federal government different hands and paying attention and hold you accountable. this is about enforcing the law. i actually asked the mayor of d

they want the laken riley act. it is a strong bipartisan piece of legislation that has support from both sides of the aisle in both chambers. 48 house democrats voted for it. it's cosponsored by senators john fetterman and ruben guy yea goe of the -- gallego of the democratic party. now is the time for results. i have been encouraged by other members of the democratic party who have said this is a bill i would like to see across the finish line. last week we had 84 senators who voted to advance it. so each one of my colleagues is left with one simple question this week. what will you choose to protect? open borders or american families? to me, that's a pretty simple choice. it is time to fulfill the responsibility we have to the american people, to protect the citizens of this country from criminals who would do them harm. it is time to make sure that what happened to laken riley and her family never happens again. it is time to pass the laken riley act, and it is past time to choose american families. madam presid

. >> okay, laken riley, are you familiar with that case? >> sadly i am, senator graham. >> do you know why the man who killed her was released from custody? he was paroled to a detention capacity at the central processing center in el paso, texas. that is not your call you being d.o.j. but do you agree with me that the statute regarding parole doesn't allow parole to be based on we don't have detention beds? there is nothing in that statute would authorize for that based on lack of capacity? are you familiar with that statute? >> yes, sir, it is frightening. >> are you going to fix it? >> i will do everything in my power to fix it if confirmed as attorney general. >> will you advise president trump we need more beds? tom homan is the guy to do this. would you as attorney general say we need more bed space so laken riley never happens again? >> my job, if confirmed as attorney general will be to keep america safe. that includes having enough space for violent criminals, for people that should not be in this country who have committed violent

house lawmakers passed the laken riley act monday. she was just out for a jog enjoying the day when an illegal criminal. took her life away. congressman mike collins described the death of 22 year-old georgia nursing student laken riley last february. the man convicted of killing her venezuelan migrant hosea berra was in the country illegally. he's now serving life in prison. this legislation could have prevented her death. the lake and riley act would require federal authorities to detain illegal immigrants arrested, charged with or convicted of theft related crimes. no due process required at all. maryland democratic congressman jamie raskin says expanding the detention requirement to include those accused of theft could sweep up innocent people. this allows us to get up demonize immigrants without doing anything to fix the immigration system. but wisconsin republican congressman derrick van orden says the government needs to first protect its citizens. he recounted crimes in his own state. he says this bill could have prevented. no

i want to follow up on something senator barrasso brought up, which was the laken riley act.s. it's a bill that would require federal authorities to detain undocumented immigrants charged with theft-related crimes rather than releasing them on parole. this bill was introduced last congress. didn't go anywhere. was it wrong for democrats not to take it up? was it election year politics that made democrats concerned about bringing it forward? >> well, in the last year we've been working with republicans on bipartisan border security, legislation with the hope of getting that passed and then moving on to comprehensive immigration reform. i think we can do that. i think there's a lot of -- there's an effort. i think that's going to continue. right now this is certainly bipartisan. i voted for cloture on the motion to start talking about it. >> but do you regret not doing that, not taking that position earlier? if democrats were more muscular on this issue, which was such a live issue during the campaign. >> well, i mean, the laken riley act is very specific. it does one specific

plus, the house passes an immigration measure named after laken riley. a student was attacked and killed on a university campus. we are learning new details now of a homicide case in the north bay santa rosa. police say that they found 4 people dead inside a home yesterday evening. >> officers making that grim discovery during a welfare check at a house on monarch court just west of downtown santa rosa. the victims are from the same family. and according to police, it is a shooting related incident. police say this time incident is very unusual for this quiet neighborhood. >> this neighborhood is a 55 and over mobile home community. it's very quiet, very peaceful. and this is highly unusual for santa rosa will help. sarah's is a very safe community. and in 2024, we only had 2 homicides. >> officers haven't revealed the cause of death yet. they say an autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow. >> in the south bay, san jose's stepping up efforts to try to remove rv encampments along city streets, ground force charles clifford reports. >> by law, vehicles that are

>> what happened to laken riley was outrageous my heart goes out do hur family any violent criminal anyriminal serious offense convicted ought to be deported, but my objection to this bill was that the standard was arrest in our country you are innocent until proven guilty why not make sure someone arrested for shoplifting or arrested burglary maybe daca kid get court process quieted before deported. >> when you say deported president trump says going to start deporting people who have been convicted of crimes. >> conviction this bill did not talk about conviction this bill wants -- the law already says if if you are convicted of a crime or if you admit to serious crime, that is grounds for deportation, but this law was doing expanding that category saying it is not just convictions if you are arrested then you can be -- deported, and i believe that you should have the legal process in this country, if you are arrested to say look i was innocent, i don't deserve a conviction. >> i i mean it doesn't appear to bode well, the fact that we had you know such disagreement over the speaker, mi

joining us to talk about the laken riley act and other things.democratic senator john fetterman. thank you both for being here again. common ground. why is this important and how confident are you about the senate action here? >> yeah. so, i think we have seen this litigated over the last four years time and time again. and i think on november 5th, the american people delivered a verdict. security of americans over open border policies. and so this is a common sense piece of legislation obviously named after a remarkable young woman that was taken from this earth way too soon. and i think that the bipartisan support that you saw in the house i'm hopeful will carry on and to the senate, we are already seeing good traction from our senate colleagues interested in coming on board. >> bret: senator fetterman, there are democrats who obviously spoke out against this today. one of them congressman raskin. take a listen. >> pick a crime, paste into it a template immigration law, covering convicted criminals and then require detention or deportation of c

he's the house sponsor of the laken riley act.t is legislation that would mandate detention of illegal aliens if they commit theft crimes in a state. congressman, thank you for your time this morning. your legislation passed a key vote in the senate this week and had some help from democrats. do you think democrats got a wake-up call from the election when it comes the their positions on immigration? >> well, sure they did. and the thing about this bill, this is a good piece of legislation. it's not a border bill, it's not a messaging bill. this is a good piece of law enforcement legislation that is going to help local law enforcement detain these people, contact i.c.e. and get 'em detained and processed and deported out of our country. bill: and i understand the bill would also allow state attorney generals to sue dhs if dhs actions lead to harm being caused against one of -- a state resident. i assume that's, you're saying if dhs catches and releases an illegal alien and they go on to kill or hurt something, states can sue the f

a republican led bipartisan bill called the laken riley act, is headed to the senate. the bill would require undocumented migrants to be detained if they are charged with certain crimes. it is named after georgia student laken riley, who was killed last year while out running by an undocumented migrant from venezuela. he was sentenced to life without parole. all right. still coming up here after the break, those extremely dangerous wildfires that are rapidly spreading across southern california overnight. >> the fires were this close to the cars. people left their cars on the palisades drive. yeah, burning up the hillside, the palm trees. everything's going. and the wind and the firemen are great, but you can only do so much i lay on my back, frozen, thinking the darkest thoughts, and then everything changed. >> dana said, you're still you. >> and i love you, super man. the christopher reeve story february 2nd on cnn. >> speak now or forever. hold your only took for our cough liquid. >> unlike robitussin dm, delsym liquid offers 12 hours of cough relief all day or nigh

look, the laken riley act is ultimately going to save lives. it is a commonsense piece of legislation, and it actually puts the talk that we've been having over the last four years into action. jake, there's been no more litigated issue over the last four years than president biden and vice president harris's open border policies. it is my belief that the american people entered a verdict on that on november 5th, saying we are ready for secure borders. we want our streets and our communities to be safe and secure. this is the first step in doing this. this is a targeted piece of legislation that goes directly to the heart of the tragedy that occurred with laken riley. as you well know, friday would have been her 23rd birthday. she should still be with us if this piece of legislation had been enacted, she would. and so americans are ready for common sense solutions, and they're ready for us to stop talking and actually yield results. i'm encouraged by the number of democrats that have come on board, and those who have voiced their support for th

again today. >> angie, thank you. >>> new this morning, the republican-led house has passed the laken riley act. the strict border measure putting pressure on senate democrats to support the legislation when republicans bring it to the upper floor for an initial vote. it would have been riley's birthday. the nursing student was 22 years old when she was killed by a man who was in the u.s. illegally from venezuela. jose ibarra was found guilty of riley's murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. the bill would change federal law to require i.c.e. to issue detainers and take custody of people in the country illegally who commit theft-related crimes, including shoplifting. >>> let's turn now to the transition of power. in a wide-ranging news conference, president-elect trump laid out a dramatic agenda, threatening a takeover of greenland and the panama canal. mr. trump also wants to rename the gulf of mexico, saying the gulf of america has a beautiful ring to it. chris pollone joins me. the president-elect seems focussed on expanding the united states. >> reporter: that's right, f

laken riley act. >> yeah. >> first off, tell in short what the bill does. >> the laken riley act, as many of you obviously followed in the news, the tragedy of laken riley losing her life and when you look at laken riley's killer, he has been charged both in new york for endangering a minor, as well as a traffic violation, in addition to georgia where he has had been charged with shoplifting. the point of the bill is if you're here illegally, number one you came across the border illegally and then you committed a crime, you're charged with or convicted of, you will be detained throughout that process and if this had been in place laken riley would still be alive. and when you're looking at our conduct-- country we have 11 million here illegally, 7.8 million in removal proceedings of 7.8 million, 1.4 million people have been given final orders of removal. they're been given due process and we've said you need to be removed. of that, when you look at the migrants and in this pocket that have committed theft related crime about 66,000 migrants who are here illegally who committed a the

congressman mike collins described the death of 22 year-old georgia nursing student laken riley last . the man convicted of killing her venezuelan migrant hosea berra was in the country illegally. he's now serving life in prison. this legislation could have prevented her death. the lake and riley act would require federal authorities to detain illegal immigrants arrested, charged with or convicted of theft related crimes. no due process required at all. maryland democratic congressman jamie raskin says expanding the detention requirement to include those accused of theft could sweep up innocent people. this allows us to get up demonize immigrants without doing anything to fix the immigration system. but wisconsin republican congressman derrick van orden says the government needs to first protect its citizens. he recounted crimes in his own state. he says this bill could have prevented. none of this would have taken place if this person was detained deported for simple property crime. >> enough, the bill also let federal agencies for failing to enforce immigration laws. some democrats

>> with the passage of the laken riley bill, 84 votes in the u.s. senate.looks good for trump nominations. of course there's going to be a lot of questions for rfk jr. and tulsi gabbard and pete hegseth, but right now i don't think anybody is betting against them on capitol hill. remember, those are three out of a ton of nominations and we're not hearing anything about those and that means they're going to be passed. larry: all right. gentlemen, thank you very much. happy new year. charlie hurt and byron york, thank you very much. coming up, asking the very best wall street watcher dan cliff ton what he thinks about -- dan cliffton about the one big beautiful bill and the face of it. how about my face? i'm kudlow. ♪ [sofi mnemonic] can a personal loan unlock your ambitions? oh yeah. consolidate bad debt and save money for your next goal. take a swing at your kitchen reno... meant that literally. or design your actual dream wedding. all your ambitions. all in one app. sofi personal loans. low fixed rates. borrow up to 100 k. no fees required. go to sofi.com

the house passed the laken riley act.his bill requires federal immigration authorities to detain illegal immigrants who were arrested for theft and allows states to sue the department of homeland security for crimes committed by illegal migrants, the bill named after laken riley, who was murdered by an illegal while jogging. john fetterman co-sponsored the senate version of his bill. he called out fellow democrats for not backing it. >> it shouldn't be controversial to have a secure border and the numbers are out of control and you could be pro-immigration, but we need a secure border and here we are now. when you have hundreds of thousands of people in our nation here illegally with criminal records and some actively engaging in crime, well, then they all have to go and i'm not sure why that would be controversial to anybody. maria: congresswoman, what's your reaction to 159 democrat colleagues of yours voting against the laken riley bill? >> well, because they are just not living in reality and i never thought that i wa

the house is expected to vote on the laken riley act today.he bill would in part require ice to issue detainers and take custody of migrants who committed theft crimes. >> it's an important bill. i mean, we have seen so much violence against people who committed by illegals. and, you know, why should they still be here? laken riley is very clear and straightforward act. i think most america supports it. but we're going to pass it again out of the house tomorrow. but you may see the senate pass it by the end of this week. >> the senate could take a procedural vote on the measure later this week it. would need 60 votes in the chamber mean it will need the help of democrats. lawrence, steve, ainsley, and brian. >> steve: all right, maddy. thank you very much. this bill has passed the house before. but now, you know, that's why they are taking it up today. apparently the laken riley act will require detention of illegals who commit certain nonviolent crimes like theft. how many times have we seen, you know, the smash-and-grab and stuff like that.

the laken riley act. senate will get an opportunity to act on this. you need 60 total.eight democrats. john fetterman was on special report last night. he seems to be one of the eight. watch here and listen. >> well, i think if we can't -- there are 47 of us in the senate. and if we can't pull up with seven votes, if we can't get at least 7 out of 47, if we can't that's the reason why we lost. it is one of why we lost, in part. >> bill: the new senator from arizona says he is on board. a georgia democrat is on board as well. that means three of the eight. do you get there? >> bill: good for senator fetterman. i think what democrats need to realize is they lost the election for a reason and part of it was because of the open border policies of the biden administration, which were an unmitigated disaster for the american people including laken riley. so saying we're going to repatriot or deport people who commit crimes in the country who are already here illegally seems to me like a no-brainer. democrats sometimes are slow to learn. >> bill: we'll see how it goes. it is s

laws like laken riley act in place to be sure mayorkas is doing his job. i am hopeful we will vote in the house and be able to get democratic support in the house and senate. these bills should not have to be done. what we have seen, they do, you have administration that refused to enforce the law. >> todd: these are bills to say enforce the darn law, which is what the american people are calling out for. we'll be watching, thank you. last-minute barrage of regulations coming from president biden trying to throw a wet blanket on the trump agenda. >> carley: brian brenberg will tell us what can be done to reverse your wallet, that is coming up. what if your mobile network wasn't just built to work out here... ...but was designed differently to also give you blazing fast wifi where you are most of the time? reliable 5g, plus wifi speeds up to a gig where you need it most. xfinity mobile. xfinity internet customers, ask how to get a free 5g phone and a second unlimited line free for a year. >> todd: pentagon sounding alarm on handful of chinese businesses the

laken riley, are easily with that key? >> sadly i am, senator graham. >> do you know why the man who killed her was released from custody? he was paroled to detention capacity of the central processing center in el paso, texas. now, that's not your call. you will be doj but do you agree with me that the statute regarding parole doesn't allow parole to be based on we do have detention beds? there's nothing in the statute would authorize parole based on lack of capacity. are you familiar with a statue? >> yes, sir and that's writing. >> are you going to fix it? >> i'm going to do everything in my power to fix it if confirmed as attorney joe. >> when you advise president trump we need more beds tom homan is a guy the will do this but we u.s. attorney general that we need more bed space so laken riley never happens again? >> senator, my job if confirmed as attorney general will be to keep america safe. >> do you think -- >> and that includes having enough space for violent criminals come for people that should not be in this c

politico reports schumer voted thursday to advance the laken riley act but wants amendments.this going to pass? >> i think the amendment part is going to be key here. i mean, some of the democrats object to a provision, and they say in the bill that they say gives state ags too much power over over the immigration system. and, you know, i saw in the house some democrats pointing to ken paxton from texas as an example of someone that they wouldn't want having more leeway there. listen, we'll have to see if they open up the amendment process. republicans don't want to do that. so will that turn some of these democrats and give them a reason not to vote for it? yeah, i think that that that could happen. but how many eventually support the bill? i don't think we know that yet. >> jackie, big picture. how long do you think this may last, this sense among democrats that they need to perhaps approach donald trump in a different way? i mean, clearly, the results of the election were more clear in donald, more clearly in donald trump's favor than many of them anticipated that it would

because you did see some democrats support the laken riley act over in the house.it's uncertain in the senate. you've also had john fetterman, democratic senator from pennsylvania, talking about some of what trump wants to do in a way that might raise some eyebrows. >> it's clear that there are several democrats in the house and in the senate who feel the need to reach across the aisle and get on board with some of these issues, especially the immigration issue after the 2024 elections. fetterman is the clearest example so far. he has expressed eagerness to get on board, not only with the laken riley act, which will get a vote on later today, but also on issues like icc sanctions. we are seeing democrats, especially those moderate democrats, in states that trump won, especially those up for reelection in 2026, being much more willing to maybe vote with republicans on some of these early bills. >> all right, steph curry for us this morning. very grateful to have you on the show. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. ahead here on cnn this mor

we should not be surprised when we see the laken riley act.8 politicians in this country were not willing to say, if you commit a crime and you're here illegally we'll send you back immediately. it appalls me we would have so many that represent americans saying they were not okay with the bill. we should not be surprised to see men like this victimize americans again. >> todd: that said, donald trump is pretty optimistic about what the next four years could mean under his leadership, he's calling it a golden era. listen. we want to get along with democrats, i'm trying to be nice. new term, great time, i will call it the golden age of america. i have to tell you, you look at the crime, it is all on shoulders of democrats and way they run their states. >> todd: the numbers bear that out, what hes is true. despite their talk of resisting him and you heard sanctuary city mayors and state governors say we're openly going to resist everything donald trump wants to do. do you think trump will get local democrats to play ball? end of the day, their c

reintroduce laken riley should have passed last term.emocrats are waking up, 48 democrats voted for it in the house that wouldn't vote for it before. i am hopeful it gets passed. there is red lithuania act that will stop green light law in new york that issues drivers licenses to illegal immigrants and prevents federal law enforcement from working with local police to make sure we keep dangerous criminals out of our states and new york is one of the worst. we had almost 100 people on the terrorist watch list list loot. they get drivers licenses. how do they prove they are eligible? they are driving on the streets and able to travel across state lines, they are danger to our community. this is common sense, we need to stop these things. >> carley: donald trumps republican party is party of common sense. something to follow just introduced by you. claudia tenney, thank you for joining us this morning. pacific palisades fire is most destructive in history of los angeles even though it is still zero percent contained. >> todd: next guest is

messaging bills from last congress, did not make it new senate are coming back up for votes like laken riley act today, what are the reaction to the bills becoming law now. and with some other -- democrats said there are more bipartisan avenues we could take to address those issues have there been any concern visions. >> i'm not giving you too much of a process argument. committees have not met. a lot do not have their formal members yet, there has not been an opportunity for members to get together to process and hear bills, this is bills that were part of mike johnson cutting a deal to be speaker. the republican members wanted the bills considered, many without marked up or normal process, some last congress, that is their effort to try to extract something from mike johnson. there is not a rules committee, i have not been aware of a rules committee chair, they do not have the ability too bring a bill to the floor to have actual debate. when you have actually -- debate, you at least open door for amendments and bipartisanship that is not who that conference is interested in right now. we'l

meanwhile we're watching laken riley act, they passed first proceed ra vote to open the debate even chuck schumer voted yes on this democrats may want to offer amendments but this shows a willingness to work on this bill. back to trump, he will be hosting a lot of republican governors tonight, including his former rival florida governor ron desantis. and house ca caucus leaders head to mar-a-lago this week end. larry: aishah, i have a lot of sources in that republican conference. there were arguments made for two bills by john thune and cruz and graham, mr. trump held his ground, they left it, your reporting is what i heard, but i heard so many different things, i was not sure what i heard. reporter: inric interesting, after the meeting trump and thune came out and were not publicly will doing say they would did one way or the other, trump still saying he is open to one or two bills, privately it was agreed if trump wants a big beautiful bill, that is what they will start with. that is what they will start with, if they slowdown, they will have to pivot to two. at the end of the day prior

laken riley is one of them. were going to see a bunch of those get lined up. whether democrats go for them or not, is no matter to them. they want to show voters are making good on promises and will push those things through. they will enter this. may be used the issues under which the two parties differentiate their brand, border funding, energy, et cetera. that vehicle to use your partisan majority some hightstown issues will be taken to those process there's low salient stuff how shall we, reauthorize the aviation administration of things like that average voter does not pay attention to it. it's the incentive to try to stick it to the other side is a way lower the incentive of cooperating is quite high who are invested or for home it affects the people back home quite tangibly. that is the flight course we are going to be on i think. the low salient stuff is going to be done. it will probably be done later in the bipartisan stuff will happen. ghostly reconciliation. and partisan bills will be the norm for january. let's stick on reconciliation for a minute

and then laken riley would have been alive. and i don't think it's just laken riley. there are so many victims throughout our country. not only that, we're all familiar with the violent gangs who are coming into our country, walking into our country freely through the open border, the cartels, the gangs, venezuela's let people out of their prisons. it's been reported. i don't have the security clearance yet to see what's happening, but i know we all know there are criminals throughout our country. and it is my commitment to you on both sides of the aisle that i will do everything in my power with the agencies that fall under me. if i am confirmed to make america safe again, we have to do that, senator. >> well, many of us, of course, see classified information on the intelligence committee or just generally in our duties as a as a senator. and so you're not going to feel any better about the blinking lights. the danger that that director wray has talked about in my closing moments here. i want to revisit an issue that is of particular importance. 60% of the president'

they passed the laken riley act as you alluded to on the house for 264-159 and there were 48 democrats they pass this bill in march of last year, there were set will make 37 so this goes up a little bit and this would mandate detention for minor crimes and we do expect this to go to the senate. they were as bipartisan support for this and the senator john fetterman the democrat from pennsylvania, signed on this bill in the past hour or so. we learned gary peters the democratic senate from a challenging election bid in 2026, he also signed on the bail appeared at the republicans promised they would crack down on the border. that was one of the big campaign promises last call. they are trying to scare democrats to see if they learned their lesson from 2024. john tim, new senate majority leader said he might have a test vote for this on friday. >> sandra: chad pergram with bombay hill, chadha, thank you, john. >> john: to buy them administration 11 guantanamo to oman and two bodyguards for usama bin laden in it comes as "wall street journal" reports administration in talks with the taliba
