mr. steve scalise. >> thank you. congratulations to you. it is truly an honor to be elected as a republican whip. it's the job i've enjoyed for the last four years. travel around the country in a lot of swing districts. people love the fact that we have a booming economy. they see how tremendous this success has been for hard-working families. they are seeing more money in their paychecks. history was working against us in the house. it caught up to us. we need to redouble our efforts. one of the things we need to do with the new republican minority , as we work to earn that majority back, do a better job at letting people know what we stand for. those conservative principles that have been proven to work, to get our economy back on track. to help those hard-working families are -- were counting on us. they want to see this economy to continue to grow. and a lot of those swing districts, you never heard those c candidates talking about impeachment. they talked about being pro-life and program. it will be interesting to see if they keep thei

mr. scalise, good morning to you. >> good morning. great to be with you all.nate, 1.6. sounds like the house wants to build the wall more than republicans in the senate? >> i agree with kellyanne that more needs to be done. we're working with president trump on border. more needs to be done. you see with the caravan there are big threats to national security and big loopholes need to be closed too. some she talked about. the lottery makes absolutely no sense where thousands of people are let in, literally the names are plucked out of a hat. it should be a merit-based system. that is what president trump wants. that is what i would like to see. we have a few weeks left to get it done. brian: it is lame-duck session. you have a majority in the senate. what is going behind the scenes, anything? >> there are a lot of negotiations going on. we've been working with the white house and the senate trying to get some type of agreement that addresses what president trump wants to see in terms of both funding for the border wall as well as closing so many loopholes. so w

mr. scalise, this bill among others. and here we are over a year later and no action from the senate. and today, november 29, 2018 is a sad and embarrassing day for the united states house of representatives. and i must say as a republican, it is a sad and embarrassing day for something we call regular order, something that my party ran on. and now we have a bill coming to the floor within the jurisdiction of the house financial services committee, regular order says the committee of jurisdiction first works their will before the house works their will. the committee didn't work its will on this bill. and in fact, i have yet to find anybody in the republican leadership who will own up to how this came to the floor in the first place. so unfortunately, because my party lost at the ballot box, we are going to be out of the regular order business and apparently we have on forgotten how to do it. so it is a sad day in that regard. it is also a sad day because what we see is the perptuation of the status quo. let me tell you what that is. the status quo is 100 different people are dying in

mr. desantis: it is great to be here. i'm ron desantis. i'm on a mission to protect florida's future. i was at the congressional these -- baseball practice when a gunman tried to shoot steve scalise. i know firsthand, when we start going down that road, it will be deadly. i condemn that. i condemn what happened today. obviously we need to get to facts before we jump to conclusions. i think it is important when we try to unify, my agenda has been something that a majority of floridians can get behind. i don't want to raise taxes like andrew wants to do. i also want to protect the environment floridians enjoy. we want to have clean water. we all know that is the life blood of our state. if we don't get that right, florida's future is in jeopardy. i want to protect educational opportunities. including more vocational and technical training in our classrooms. those are the jobs of 21st century. i want to protect our communities. if you don't have safe communities, a lot of that doesn't matter. todd: your time is up. thank you, mr. desantis. i want to direct the same question that mr. gillum. divisive political rhetoric pushing some of us over the line and over the edge. mr. gillum: i
