what are you hearing about about marco rubio? >> well, kate, we will see marco rubio actually be on the flip side of where he usually sits. he usually as a senator, sat on the foreign relations committee, where he will now be testifying before or at least appearing before right now, unlike you said we saw yesterday with pete hegseth, there won't be a focus on marco rubio's personal feelings. there will be more of a questioning about what is the future of donald trump's foreign policy. one of the folks, or rather, countries we expect marco rubio to go directly after is china. he's going to note that china was welcomed to the world stage. but yet once they got there, they lied, cheated, hacked and stolen their way to global superpower status at our expense. now, rubio not only will be asked about china today, expect him to be asked specifically about tiktok as well, which is going to be one of the biggest stories over the coming days, as well as aid to ukraine. kate. >> yeah, we have senator dick durbin. he's coming up. he's he's o

host: does marco rubio get to vote on his own nomination? guest: as long as he is still a sitting senator by the time the vote happens. he could technically wait to resign until right before he becomes secretary of state, of course. that could be interesting. i've tried asking to see what his plans are. he doesn't have any specifics to share, but that could be fascinating. he does not need his own vote. he's going to get 80, 85 plus votes in the senate. host: what senators stick out for confirmation time, who are the senators that tend to make a splash during these confirmation hearings? guest: obviously is dependent on who sits on what committees. on the floor is a lot different because you have the perpetual swing votes. susan collins, lisa murkowski, mitch mcconnell now that he is not in leadership anymore. mitch mcconnell has a singular focus for the remaining two years on his senator which is to continue to advance his national security doctrine, his foreign policy doctrine, how he sees the world, and that involves of course pushing bac

rubio, i don't like marco rubio.mocrats don't. but he you can't deny that he's not qualified to do the the job. i think with some of these nominees, outside of the two that we're talking about, there's lots of folks who simply aren't qualified. a lot like pete had said yesterday. but i think you're not going to see as much pushback on bondi or senator marco rubio, who's been in the senate a long time. and there's lots of democrats who will vote for him. >> yeah, it's certainly a far cry from matt gaetz, who was initially put in that nomination position, who just simply left. he didn't have the votes. all right. one nominee that hasn't really been discussed much is the person who will lead the management and budget office. russell vought voight. he's trump's nominee. he served in that government office in 2020 for trump. but he is also one of the architects now of project 2025, which trump said he didn't know anything about. he didn't know the people who wrote it. what does this tell you this nomination tell you about

so the trump policy, it seems like there marco reveal will be there to do that. the same thing with the secretary of defense and feedback, you know, again it's, it's, yeah, it's so it's, it's, it seems like these people are there to serve trump and trump ivy. and you know, he did get a mandate to end these wars. he was an anti intervention as this is why the establishment hates donald trump in the 1st place. the reason why we had the russia gate, as we called in the united states, why they choose to non stop being compromised as a trainer to our own country. and working with president what food and, and the russia was because that was the only card they had to play because he got elected on uh, ending our ford mores. our intervention is towards our region change wars, which is the same reason why they had been, uh, the establishment freaks out over tulsa gabbert, right? tulsa gabbert made her name, telling the truth about the syrian war and the gas attacks. right. so they wanted brock obama to bomb syria and to do another decapitation like they did in libya like

a dead horse but -- >> we will hear from president-elect donald trump's secretary of state nominee marco rubio. his confirmation hearing is being held before the senate foreign relations committee the republican lawmaker has served in the u.s. senate since 20 11 and was previously vice chair of the senate intelligence committee and he ran as a presidential candidate in 2016 but lost the republican nomination to donald trump. you are watching live coverage on c-span3. >> live coverage from capitol hill, expecting the senate foreign relations committee to gavel in soon for secretary of state nominee marco rubio's confirmation hearing. a little information about the committee with republicans holding the majority in the senate, james risch of idaho chairs the panel. the top democrat is jeanne shaheen of new hampshire. there are 20 additional members, including two women. senators tammy duckworth and jacky rosen. a handful of other confirmation hearings are happening today. we will cover president-elect robb's pick for attorney general pam bondi before the judiciary committee and the intelli

including secretary of state nominee, marco mendicino, cia nominee john ratcliff, and transportation secretary pick sean duffy, also the marquee hearing we've been monitoring all day is of course attorney general nominee pam bondi who has been before the judiciary committee. it's been a busy day, and we'll monitor each and one of the hour. and hello, this is "outnumbered." and i'm here with harris faulkner and emily compagno, and kennedy, host of "kennedy saves the world" podcast and our guest, charles payne. >> my overall objective is return the department of justice to the core mission of keeping americans safe and vigorously prosecuting criminals, and that includes getting back to basics. gangs, drugs, terrorists, cartels, our border, and our foreign adversaries. that is what the american people expect. and that is what they deserve from the department of justice. if confirmed, i will do everything in my power -- and it will be my great responsibility -- to make america safe again. if confirmed, i will fight every day to restore confidence and integrity to the department of justic

so david, marco rubio, secretary of state, is seen as one of trump's safest choices for that. face some complications. he has been banned from china after railing against what he called the country's genocide against the uighur muslims. he's also clashed with musk, who, of course, has deep business ties in china. he might get confirmed, but could there be conflicts that crop up later on? and a reminder, trump's first cabinet had a lot of turnover. >> yeah. >> look, i think marco rubio's biggest conflict is going to come from the elon musk maga online social media mob, to be honest. i mean, it won't be in the senate confirmation hearings he will sail through. and he should. >> whatever we consider of marco rubio's ideology is flip flops with donald trump. >> he's wholly qualified to be secretary of state. and in a trump administration, he will be one of the more sober, seasoned hands in a very critical area of foreign policy. but you're right to ask, how long do any of these people last? because what we learned from the first administration is the ones who last are the lackeys,

>> marco rubio. not just the fact he is their colleague. you know, they give great difference to their colleagues. someone on foreign policy in the mainstream republicans. most would look at him and say, i disagree with him but i don't have an issue with him severing as secretary of state. others are shawn duffy the secretary nominee. he has a bunch of democrats coming out in support of him including his home state counterpart baldwin. also john fetterman would support her. there are a number of nominees that will secure support. the question is, how many and will that even be necessary. again, you have 53 republicans in the senate and all of them support the respective nominee. you don't need democrats. >> to troy in tennessee. republican. good morning. >> thank you for coming on c-span and talking to everybody. i take issue with you and everyone in washington making a goldest cast out of section 705 that was used to spawn americans for no reason at all other than the corporate state of washington would like to spy on them. the border has

he joins us from new york. marco is good to have you with us. we, we discussed the role of the western countries in serious future with our diplomatic editor, outside of western countries, outside of western europe. in the us, what are the countries, especially in the middle east, that will matter most to serious future a. let's say obviously a turkey which shares the $900.00 over 900 kilometers border which syria, they can be the big names. so it appears to be the biggest winner of the current situation, but everything depends if things don't go well in syria. turkey will play the highest price. you'll also saudi arabia, in terms of the financial aid, and also in terms of energy, very much important. and then also you have, you know, other countries, i would say you got the very, very central role, the primarily countries of the gulf. you know, it's a turkey in terms of the region around to and then obviously you have the external players, the west and country is what the sanctions and the influence they have with the international financial in

he has the ear of trump, but then marco rubio does not much like catl.are tough to read here. that is in part because we do see this division of loyalties. this is also playing out with the tiktok band that is about to go into effect on january 19, unless the company is able to persuade the supreme court to overturn this divest or ban law. donald trump has made clear he would like to see tiktok survive as its own entity to exist on its own and not be banned. to somehow evade this sanction as the result of a new law, and also that marco rubio helped push through. we will see these tensions playing out between some of the business interests, including from elon musk and others, playing out in the white house. they are trying to get tough on china, yet need this connection themselves. caroline: as shocking as it might be for many that a gaming platform may be deemed a military-related organization, there is also past tense. we have seen xaomi has managed to get itself off the list. so there is potential hope here. mike: there is. these companies have a way

to you first, marco, i'm not sure exactly where we are looking at tonight because there is nothing on the screen from our affiliate there, the abc affiliate. where is this fire and do we know anything about it? >> this is still part of the palisades fire. since the winds have shifted how we are getting a normal wind pattern, we will see some of the winds start pushing that area of the fire east. that's what we are seeing right now. as you mentioned earlier, that is moving towards brentwood and slowly keeping up -- creeping up. >> trace: it's interesting because when you look at this, it seems to me like it's the biggest flames we have seen in the better part of maybe 18, 20 hours. what does that tell you? >> so a lot of that with the wind change, it's getting into different fuels or more fuels. so the first couple days is when a lot of that fuel was where we saw active fire. with a slight wind shift it's now getting into some of those flanks where we've had containment lines built and this was part of the weather pattern that we were expecting to change a little bit. so this is just o

host: does marco rubio get to vote on his own nomination?st: as long as he is still a sitting senator by the time the vote happens. he could technically wait to resign until right before he becomes secretary of state, of course. that could be interesting. i've tried asking to see what his plans are. he doesn't have any specifics to share, but that could be fascinating. he does not need his own vote. he's going to get 80, 85 plus votes in the senate. host: what senators stick out for confirmation time, who are the senators that tend to make a splash during these confirmation hearings? guest: obviously is dependent on who sits on what committees. on the floor is a lot different because you have the perpetual swing votes. susan collins, lisa murkowski, mitch mcconnell now that he is not in leadership anymore. mitch mcconnell has a singular focus for the remaining two years on his senator which is to continue to advance his national security doctrine, his foreign policy doctrine, how he sees the world, and that involves of course pushing back ag

on the door to scare nancy pelosi, that guy will be reporting to marco rubio as one of america's next u.s. ambassadors. and the reason that's repellant, the reason that is, sort of, instinctually repulsive to us is because there's supposed to be a sharp line that keeps violent intimidation on one side of the line and politics on the other and never the twain shall meet. in a democratic country, those things are supposed to be separate. so, today, january 6th, the certification of the last presidential election happened in washington. and it just happened ministerially and ceremonially like it's supposed to. and that contrast with what happened today versus what happened four years ago makes clear the profound difference between the two parties, right? had democrats won the presidential election this year, the whole country openly expected and was preparing for republicans to go into violent, if not armed revolt. but because instead republicans won, everyone expected and in fact we saw today that democrats would peacefully accept and participate in the transfer of power. and when a who

when he passed on the political c, marco rubio was regarded as a golden boy of the republican party. a tile itself promote to keep promise to restore what he called the american dream. as part of this, the son of immigrants bowed to clamp down. immigration. we cannot absorb 2530000000 people entered this country illegally. they are here legally. what country on earth would tolerate that? it's one of the many policy positions send it to review now shares with the man who's nominated him. but the 2 had literally uncommon when contesting the republican presidential primary back in 2016 rubio. the guy never shows up to vote . he's got the worst voting record almost in the history of the united states senate, who the hell wants to vote for a guy like that you see just 5 days ago as we began to unmask the true nature of the front runners so far in this race 5 days ago, we began to explain to the american people that donald trump is a con artist. to put to exchanges apparently lost in the mists of time. we get together with donald trump. we're going to make america not just the been ended r

marc marc, pete -- marco rubio, pete hegseth will restore american strength of. no more weakness from america on the world stage. scott bess ant will stop a $4 trillion tax increate. pam bondi will stop the weaponization of the justice department and enforce the law. christ kristi noem will make sure the border is secure. these nominees are not a return to business as usual. business as usual gave us painfully high prices. business as usual gave us wide-open borders. business as usual gave us the disastrous death of soldiers in the fall of afghanistan. these nominees by president trump are bold choices. they're motivated, they're skilled, and they are committed to the safety and security of every american. most importantly, they show that president trump is serious, serious about bringing fresh eyes and a new outlook to washington, d.c. that's exactly what the american people voted for in november. senate republicans are committed to get president trump's team in place quickly. our committee chairs are working aggressively to give each nominee a fair and speedy c

huckabee, how incredible for him to be there with marco rubio. we have such an opportunity to create stabilization and to me that is what is so beneficial to our gulf allies and i really appreciate the first time i was able to visit and i -- to visit qatar. before i got there, i had the impression that people in the middle east wanted to live in the 14th century. i found out, no, they don't. the forest of 50 and 60-story highrises give it away right away. i explained back home that people in the middle east wants -- it looks like hilton head on steroids and so, so that's -- the stabilization. but we've got to address the issue of iran and we've got -- hey, there's been no greater example of a -- tragically, a bizarre disagreement than in the last month with the objects 1 missile attacks from teheran, the current president said oh, don't go against the iranian nuclear capability. oh, don't go against the iranian -- >> the restrictions president biden was putten on the israelis, you moo en? >> restriction after restriction and donald trump said thi

very soon in his position we're going to have marco rubio. that's bad news for the japanese.nent of blocking this deal. so what are they going to get by bringing back to donald trump that has been absolutely clear that tariffs are coming to protect american business, america first. japan has a problem, it's their problem, not our problem. they have overcapacity, they have a shrinking population. bad for them. maria: but why would a deal with your company, cleveland-cliffs, be any better? i mean, if you're getting together with u.s. steel, don't you control the dissemination and the price of steel for u.s. automakers? is that anti-competitive? >> of course not. of course not. there are several other companies, new core is bigger than cliffs, steel dynamics is almost the same size as clevcleveland-cliffs. a lot of imported steel comes to the country. aluminum as well. we clearly have a situation that nippon steel cannot and will not buy u.s. steel. that's u.s. steel. it's an american corporation, should continue to be american. and if cleveland-cliffs will be able to buy or not
