what about stefanik in line to be l about stefanik in line to be the ambassadorfor the about stefanikthe united nations. a big supporter of israel. highly critical of the un for what she says is a lack of support for its war against hamas. what do you think that pic might signal about donald trump's potential policy internationally?- trump's potential policy internationally? well, no secret that _ internationally? well, no secret that president - internationally? well, no i secret that president trump internationally? well, no - secret that president trump is a strong supporter of israel. so stefanik is also an exciting choice. she's young, she's vibrant, she fits the bill of being loyal and capable. i think again that there is something, there is something very common, there's a theme going on. these themes that president trump talked about over and over again in the campaign. he's appointing people who can get those things done. he is ready to get down to business. i think an appointment of someone who is loyal to him to execute his agenda is a perfect example of that. ., ., ., , th

you have razor-thin majority, if someone like elise stefanik goes up to the un, that seat is open.ochul will have 90 days to fill that seat from the day she is confirmed. you will be one seat down. do you remember jeff sessions was taken to ag position, we lost a seat in deep red alabama, you can't take chances. >> lawrence: i will say this, there is a period, holding period as relates to confirmation, before everybody is sworn in, if it comes to point it is too close, he can withdraw the nomination if that comes into play and i would think elise stefanik, she would want that, as well. it puts entire agenda at risk. >> steve: the way, should point out, elise stefanik news comes from "new york post" and way they put the timeline, once she resigns, the governor has to call a special election within 10 days and an election has to be held between 70 and 80 days and that is where rachel came up with the 90 days business. and chosen by chairs rather than primary. there will be a democrat running against her. trump team says that district she represents is ruby red solidly pro-trump, she

i want to say elise stefanik, a friend and colleague. exceptional in the role, credible competent in any number of positions of the administration but particularly well suited for u.n. ambassador. recall her fight against anti- semitism on college campuses nap went viral. i think she is going to be a forceful voice for america's interests there in new york with both allies and's adversaries. >> on the recess appointment issue, a way for donald trump, saw this in the first trump administration, sort of skirting senator confirmation, to get the kind of people he wants in the administration to be in those very important positions. >> yeah. you know, because i was a republican for most of my career, i remember when donald trump got cted in 2016. only so much damage he can do. republicans are responsible people. there are three coequal branches of government he can be reined in. that's not true anymore. this idea whether or not senators take their role of advise and consent seriously, we're seeing them roll over, i think, immediately, and abd

maria: i know that elise stefanik wanted the u.n.dor job and she's getting it but what does this mean for your majority in the house? you're going to be losing people because trump's going to be tapping them as, you know, cabinet members. >> yeah, we can't lose too many. and so one is okay. i think our majority is going to be something like 220 to 223. that's not much. we need to keep 2118 218 to hae majority. so i don't think we'll be losing too many members of the house to the trump administration simply because of the numbers. we don't have enough to give him at this point. maria: the house of course, the house china committee is pushing to end china's preferential trade status after republicans won the presidency and flipped the senate. a committee spokesperson said they agreed on a bipartisan basis that now is the time to reset the trade relationship with china so it reflects the threat that we face from the ccp given it is our adversary. china's trade surplus, it's a surplus on track to reach almost a trillion dollars. trump ta

" heidi of "plit co- olitico" and mj lee. i want to play a flavor of stephen miller, who he is, what he says and what he believes. >> america is for americans and americans only! >> you have two policy objectives that you proceed with. utter determination in iran. seal the border. no illegals in, everyone here goes out. very straightforward. establish large- scale staging grounds for removal flights and grab i

for ambassador to the united nations, trump announced elise stefanik. she's a member of the house security committee, stefanik does not have a well of foreign policy or diplomacy experience. for border czar, tom homan, the former acting director of i.c.e., an early supporter of zero tolerance, the policy that resulted in separating children from their parents, a policy, by the way, he has said he would enforce again. >> i'm tired of hearing about the family separation. i'm still being sued over that. i don't give a [ bleep ] bottom line is we enforce the law. i was a cop in new york and arrest a father for domestic violence or dui, i separate that family. when you violate the law with a child, you're going to be separated, but you're right, 250 children have crossed this border since joe biden has been president. they chose to separate themselves. >> they're separating themselves. for deputy chief of staff, under susie wiles, stephen miller will be back. miller, who was the architect of donald trump's most hard line and conservative policies, including

with republican congresswoman elise stefanik being named trump's un ambassador.e colleagues are jumping in the race to succeed her as gop conference chair which is the number four leadership post. members have until noon today to decide whether or not they want to run. republicans will hold their elections tomorrow. speaker mike johnson, majority leader steve scalise and majority whip tom emmer are running unopposed to keep their leadership posts. house democrats will hold their elections next week. tomorrow the senate will vote for a new majority leader in a blind election. a lot of attention on this. three republicans are vying for the position. senator john thune. senator jon cornyn. president trump demand the the leader allow for recess appointments for cabinet members. all three candidates have agreed to do that. as of now senator scott appears to have the backing of many big name maga supporters including elon musk. senator thune who is the minority whip wrote an op-ed pitching himself as someone willing to work with others to deliver trump's agenda. thune

ambassador to be, elise stefanik.o has been a staunch ally of donald trump, particularly over the last five years. she was one of his top impeachment defenders back in 2019 up on capitol hill. she replaced liz cheney as the house gop conference chair, and she is somebody who has been very front and center, especially on the tv air waves in support of donald trump, even at some of his most difficult political times here, and now at one point, she was in contention to be potentially his vice presidential running mate, but fell off of that short list over the summer, and now out of the gate, the first one who donald trump is saying he'll tap as u.n. ambassador come 2025. >> vaughn, if she does accept this, and does get it, then that would leave that congressional seat open, right? >> reporter: exactly, and this is where we're getting down to depending on how some of these house races swing, a very narrow likely majority for the republicans in the u.s. house, and that majority is going to be crucial for them in order to e

now that elise stefanik is becoming ambassador to the u.n.a mcclain, kat cammack, throwing their hats in the ring. the house majority could become slimmer as walz and stefanik vacate their seats. are you worried about this? both seats are expected to remain republican. it could impact the gop's ability to pass government funding bills. how do you see this, the fact that you lose these two in the house when you're trying to clinch the majority here? >> well, look, i think we'll end up with a majority of four. so if there's more appointments in the house i guess whi i woule a little worried. we're as close as we can be right now in terms of being united and i think this election has really brought republicans together. we are excited. we are energized. we are ready to make this country affordable again and prosperous. we are ready to expand and extend a lot of the tax cut provisions that benefited the working class, the middle class. it was across the board cut as you know under president trump with the tax cut and jobs act, doubled the family

because you went to high school withes elise stefanik, interesting, fun fact. priorities if elected to congress? >> simple, i like fixing big problems. biggest problem is anti-trump hate. biggest problem new york has is people are leaving, we have to get republicans to take control back. it is not good that new york is becoming uni-party state, we need to encourage people to come back. i don't think anyone has identified the problem. i did an interview yesterday an to work on the issue. biggest problem new york has is we are lacking people, nobody will be better than me bringing people back. >> todd: change gears, mike tyson set to fight jake paul. you are a professional boxer and business partner with the tyson team. how is this fight going to go down? >> i think we'll see a big win from mike. i got this right. few people i admire in the world, one is trump and another is mike tyson. i saw trump last night and he waved. i was at dinner at mar-a-lago with mike and meatloaf was great. >> todd: mike tyson is way older than me, you worry about stamina. mike tyson

elise stefanik for example very pro-israel and tough on the un and that totally works in mike walter supporting better green beret congressional district that is plus seven that he won by plus 30 liska is extremely popular and again, aligns with trump on his overseas vision i'm happy booth what's been announced so far. i hope it keeps rolling along. maria: stephen miller will be excellent he is a policy. these are smart guys. >> for sure. the democrats keep playing down this enormous when that the republicans have had dnc chaired debby wasserman-schultz claimed it was not a wave election at all for the gop she said this on cnn yesterday, watch this. >> this was not the way the election that the majority of the media is portraying, voters had trump on the ballot the last three elections and we had a very short presidential campaign with our nominee and there were a lot of others as well. maria: excuses keep on coming. they will not focus on the failed policy decisions even though we know that's what voters moved on the selection. >> republicans did better in 48 states than they did in

elise stefanik is set to be nominated as the u.s.dor to the u.n., a role crucial to global cooperation and security. she initially positioned herself as a moderate and criticized mr. trump of than later probably defended him. the president elect plans to elect tom holman as the border czar. he says he hopes to deliver a mr. trump promise to enact the largest deportation operation in history. he served in trump's previous of ministry should, as did stephen miller, who cbs news is serving as the deputchief of staff or policy. let's go to our correspondent jessica parker in west palm beach near the amir locke estate. it is good to see you. let's start with the nominations. elise stefanik for the ambassador to the united nations. what do you think that will mean? jessica: yeah, good evening to you from west palm beach, where it is the hub of the trump transition team at his mar-a-lago home. in terms of elise stefanik, she's in new york congresswoman. once upon a time, a trump skeptic but has become a staunch backer of the president-elect

elise stefanik and mr. the two, out of nowhere, they take another one, that is endangering tiny sliver of majority. >> lawrence: if plan works out way ron desantis hope it to be, january 3 will happen, when all members will get sworn in. if election is that day, he can be technically whoever he or she wins that seat can be sworn in next day. talking about a day margin right there. one thing i will say about the talk about attorney general, all of the people they were putting forth wasn't hard enough for the former president, only one name on the list was john ratcliffe and he did not want the job, he wanted to be cia director and donal donald trumps granted that wish. >> brian: well, we'll see, one person that is going to get unanimous is senator marco rubio, so glad he picked him. he lives and breathes foreign policy and i don't think he loves being a senator, i think he loves this. this opportunity came his way. finalist to be vp, parents from cuba, on intelligence, foreign relations committee, known as a

trump selecting new york congresswoman elise stefanik to serve as u.s.e witkoff showsen as special envoy to the middle east. joining us now executive director hilal. give us your reaction to the appointments, how will it impact the yod nations and specifically israel. >> they send a clear message. we've seen a series of appointments in the past 24 had hours, clearly these envoys understand that israel is a democracy, it's sitting in its ancient homeland. it has rights to defend itself. they are confronting brutal terrorists, funded and armed by the islamic regime of iran which is fighting a seven front war against israel. clearly new ambassador, she'll be confirmed soon, elise stefanik knows that. new ambassador huckabee knows that so a clear message is sent to the world, the united states stands by its allies, stands by israel. maria: this is very powerful, fact he's putting these individuals in these roles. it's clear they will have an impact. elise stefanik, tell me about her. >> everyone was amazed how she grilled the presidents of harvard, penn and

republican area. >> steve: elise stefanik won 63% of the vote last week. >> ainsley: that, works out.n: hope carley shimkus always stays safe. >> carley: turnpike over to the news. more news, fox news alert. five people arrested on assault charges for alleged role in attack against israeli soccer fans in amsterdam last week, adding to dozens of arrests that have come as result of this anti-israel demonstration there. israel has issued a warning following that attack. illegal migrant charged with murdering laken riley is due in court today as jury selection is set to start tomorrow in the murder trial. jose ibarra, is due in court at 10 a.m., facing malice murder charge and three counts of felony murder among others. police say he attacked and killed riley in february while she was going for a morning jog on the university of georgia campus. a barber being hailed a hero. two suspects walked into the shop, the barber subdued one of them, the other grabbed a gun and fired at an unknown victim. no one was hurt. the shooting is thought to be gang related, but no arrests have been made and

elise stefanik, what do we know about her?reporter: elise stefanik, she was not only an impeachment defender of his in 2019 on capitol hill, but ever since over the last fiver years, she has remained a staunch ally and defender of donald trump appearing on the campaign trail with him. she in 2020, won, objected on january 6th to the election results in the u.s. house. she is somebody, though, who became a close ally of his when she took over for liz cheney as the house gop conference chair. she elevated her voice within the republican caucus, and at this moment, there were conversations even initially about whether she would potentially play the role of his vice presidential pick. her name dropped off the short list over the summer, but clearly as the first selection of his out of the gate to join his cabinet and administration, this is a clear head nod to elise stefanik in the role she would play in this administration. of course you'll recall eight years ago, the selection of the u.n. ambassador was nikki haley. clearly some

you have elise stefanik.republican in there and open it up to a race, what happens then? >> remember scott brown when ted kennedy died? open race in massachusetts. scott brown won deep blue massachusetts when democrats controlled all levers of government. then you had jeff sessions seat in ruby red alabama. democrats won that seat. when you have all levers of power in a special election usually the party out of power wins those seats. again you pull a house member with a thin majority, they went very red in this election but that doesn't mean they will go read in a special election. again, this is about the america first agenda. you could actually endanger the agenda because you don't have a house that can pass the agenda. a lot of these numbers and seats not called, these are close races and so when members win by the skin of their teeth, they are afraid of their shadows. donald trump wants a house to be bold and you might have members that don't want to be that bold because they think about the next electio

elise stefanik it's a busy job. have to travel all around the world and not that you can't as a woman. i'm proud of her. that would be wonderful. but she is a mom. and razor thin margin in the house. so that might be something to consider. just publications saying it has been confirmed, guys. >> brian: that's really important. i'm not sure if she is going to have the cabinet position. remember, nikki haley had it. her replacement didn't. so she said -- nikki haley said i will take this report directly to you. that's why she had so much teeth in her policies. hopefully elise asks for the same thing. homan reports directly to the president. no one gets ahead of him. home hand security can't say you have no budget. people know that relationship. >> steve: bookers the best in the business. tom homan will be with us one hour from right now. meanwhile overnight donald trump put out something on truth social. he was thanking the people of america for voting for him because he wound up with the biggest popular vote by a rep

the famous elise stefanik. thank you for coming on. you know, i'm just talking about this , the pollsters didn't see it. this is the working folks, middle class new coalition, and what mr. trump did to win, he wasn't just talking to the base. this is my interpretation. i want to hear you out on this. he wasn't just talking to the base. he was expanding the base. all along. the pollsters didn't understand it. the media didn't understand it. and look at the results. i mean, he just smashed the soc so called blue wall but this coalition is growing by leaps and bounds and i want to get your take on that. >> well you're exactly right, larry. this is a historic resounding victory and it's really a political realignment. president trump has grown the republican party into a big tent party. look at the historic support among latino voters, african americans voters, jewish voters, suburban women voters turned out, young voters because his america-first vision of putting american families, hard working families and workers first, when it comes t

ambassador to the u.n., congresswoman elise stefanik. correspondent bryan llenas is in west palm beach, florida tonight. good evening, brian. >> mike, good evening. the fbi says alongside local law enforcement it is investigating multiple bomb thrensz threats and swatting incidents against president-elect trump's nominees and oea points including nominee for housing secretary scott turner and nominee for labor secretary lori chavez deremer. >> sources tell fox news nearly a dozen of president-elect trump's cabinet nom no, ma'am points have been threatened including john ratcliffe, defense secretary nominee pete hegseth, agriculture secretary nominee brook rollins with drawn attorney general nominee former congressman matt gaetz trump's pick for u.n. ambassador elise stefanik and epa administrator lee zeldin. zeldin said a pipe bomb along with a pro-palestinian message were sent to his home. stefanik's office says the congresswoman was travel traveling for thanksgiving when a bomb threat come in. the new york state police said they did no

so now putting elise stefanik in place to spearhead his efforts to reintroduce his administration on the world stage, she will have a very important role there. >> certainly. thanks so much. >>> moments from now, president biden will lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier at arlington national cemetery to commemorate this veterans day. vice president harris is there with him. and it's her first official appearance since her election concession speech. this is a very solemn ceremony for the president and his final. >> it is, and present biden should be walking up to the tomb of the unknown soldier with vice president harris where the two are expected to participate in this wreathlaying ceremony. they hosted a breakfast at the white house earlier this morning where they welcomed military veterans, their families, and survivors as well to mark this sorrow sought -- solemn day, now after the slaying of the reef, president biden is expected to deliver remarks, vice president harris is not delivering remarks today but this is the first time that we are seeing her and an official w

elise stefanik and waltz, of course, are from florida for national security advisor and u.n.mbassador. it could end up with a majority at 220, maybe 219 seats. my goodness gracious, what a small margin for error, kaitlan. >> yeah. a small margin for error obviously, means basically none. harry enten, thank you as always for breaking the math down for us. >> thank you. enjoy the weather. >>> my capitol hill source tonight is a new york republican who just won reelection in a competitive district. congressman mike waller joins us now. it is great to have you here, congressman. given what you just heard from harry, republicans are poised it looks like to have a trifecta of control in washington, but are you worried about the margins in the house given that two republican colleagues have been picked to serve in trump's administration? >> first, kaitlan, let me say president trump made a great selection in elise stefanik for u.n. ambassador and mike waltz. they will do a tremendous job in the administration. obviously any time you lose members throughout the course of a congress,

ambassador elise stefanik as well. he is about to give a speech. let's listen in for a moment. ♪ ♪ god bless the usa ♪ ♪ from the lakes of minnesota to the hills of tennessee ♪ >> thank you very much. this is a very nice gathering, isn't it nice? nice to win. always nice to win. a lot of good friends in this room. so you know we had like historic kind of numbers, especially for the president but we won't get into that. [laughter] but the house did very well and i think we're responsible for 31, helping you with 31 meaning we could have lost by quite a bit and we ended up. i guess you will be five up? are you looking at five or four, right? doesn't matter, we get used to one for a little while. when you get used to one you can get used to anything. i just want to thank everybody. you have been incredible. we worked with a lot of you to get you in and you helped me, too. and my numbers were so they say the 129 years the most important election in 129 years. that's pretty good. i said who is the 129 years, what was that? who is 129 years ago? i never

are you putting her in the line with the lee zeldin and elise stefanik? >> that seems like the guys who need jobs and not guys who need jobs. she is a supporter of donald trump and accolade of his from ashley and has been out there on the trail for him. i think also with the immigration responsibility, apparently largely going to be centralized out of the white house with homan and stephen miller working on that, it's possible she could have less than a policy role as other dhs secretaries might but she has not been formally announced yet by the campaign so i'm curious to see what the rational is once they start defending that choice more publicly. >> is it going to be a problem, ashley, to defend the choice of kristy noem? there was a memoir that came out she talked about having to shoot her own dog? >> right. that essentially killed her chances right there. trump is not a huge fan of dogs, actually, but even he knew that he had a political problem on his hands with that. but to defend that choice, again, to sort of level set, this is a senate, for insta

president-elect trump will appoint stefanik for ambassador and tom homan for border czar.nd the crisis. >> to the american people, president trump is going to secure this border, save american lives and by secure border we'll drop illegal alien crime that is skyrocketing. less women will be sex sold on the southern border, criminal cartels will be put out of business by this president. >> bill: homan will be in charge of deporting illegal immigrants done in a humane matter. >> dana: there are three frontrunners for senate majority leader. they all agree in one big condition and more on that in a moment. team fox coverage. let's go to lucas tomlinson in west palm beach, florida. good morning. >> good morning, dana. one of the reasons president-elect donald trump won in a landslide to fix the southern border and picked tom hoe man to do it. >> we've seen an estimate that it would cost $88 million to deport people a year. >> i don't know if that's accurate or not. what price do you put on national security? >> is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating fa

stefanik was in fact house g.o.p.es her? how do you rebuild? i mean, they are right now competing to make sure that they have enough republicans to maintain the majority. how do you rebuild that group? and what happens to that republican caucus because it's often been very divisive, very difficult to manage. and we'll see what speaker johnson can do. >> gillian: so you mentioned former member of the house lee zeldin. katie, take a quick look at him earlier today -- or listen to him earlier today gym gill i'm sorry not going to play it again it was in the bump. what he previously said that caught my attention i wanted to ask you about, president trump on the phone with him listed like 15 or 20 priorities for the epa, all of them ways to help the economy. definitely a departure in thinking from the way that epa, you know, profile is usually historically handled, that is certainly not being one of the stated goals or objectives. >> what is one of the number one goals of president-elect trump? it's to be energy independen

i'm so happy he has appointed elise stefanik for the united nations.he will do an outstanding job. we came in to congress together. i have an over some out of respect for her and her abilities. i'm looking forward for her representing us at united nations. we are not respected on the world stage. i look forward to donald trump being president again so he will get the attention of ukraine, the attention of russia, the attention of iran. he will not send billions of dollars to iran so they can fund terrorist like the biden-harris administration did. host: the washington post features the incoming president's cabinet picks so far. you mentioned elise stefanik. matt gaetz. marco rubio as secretary of state. john reckless to go back to the central intelligence agency. tulsi gabbard, director of national intelligence. lee selden heading of the archewell -- and varmints protection agency -- environmental protection agency. should republicans use recessive equipment or should they follow precedent and have hearings and senators vote on who will serve in the pr

trump shared this news with "new york post," trump told post i am honored to elect elise stefanik to serve as u.s. ambassador to united nations. the house republican conference chair, elise stefanik said she accepts nomination and look forward to earning support in the senate. >> carley: there is a senate leadership race happening and donald trump is weigh nothing on part of it. what is going on there? >> madeleine: that race is heating up, trump is calling on those vies to support senate tool that allows him to bypass congress to quickly get his preferred administration officials in place. in this post on x trump calls for recess appointment, fill federal vacancies while senate is in recess. john thune says we the must act quickly to get the president's cabinet and other nominees in place as soon as possible to execute and all options are on the table including appointments. senator cornyn says this confers power on president to make appointments. here is florida senator rick scott. how do we get trump's agenda done and his nominees done? how do we codify executive order? that is up

i think that elise stefanik is great, she is fre great, i only met her on the radio.retary, one of most eloquent and informed and persuasive people out there, a look at susie wiles, i point out to people, donald trump, jeb bush. rick scott, and marco rubio like susie wiles, she must be special. lee zeldin, great d domestic affairs, i am impressed. i really like the national security people, i have my eye on justice and defense and treasury cia and dni they are our national security things, you know more about the economy. i am very confident he will continue to bat a thousand. larry: i forget, my memory short. some billionaire about a week ago said that donald trump does not like to surround himself with smart, strong intelligent women, i am looking town the list, susie wiles, elise stefanik, kristi noem. the list send less, there may be -- list is endless there may be more, what happened to, that i have not heard him or democrats apologizing for saying that stupid thing, trump is out the of gate. susie wiles, elise stefanik, kristi noem. and et cetera. that is a pret

as lulu noted you have whether it's the appointment of elise stefanik as un ambassador. i mean, a number of his appointments have been very, very very strongly pro-israel individuals. at the same time, donald trump comes to the middle east, wants to be someone who solves things coming out of his first term, was very proud of the abraham accords. and so in some ways, is this the is there the possibility of a nixon goes to china like, because donald trump is so vocally pro-israel, could ironically, that be the reason why he's able to broker something? it's unclear, but at least right now i mean, he's this isn't the middle east that he had when he was president. the last time. this is a middle east that has been broken by the gaza war. this is a middle east that is currently in conflict. and this is a middle east where you have bibi netanyahu and a very, very extreme government in israel that has big plans for what they can do. there but i want to pick up on what you were saying chris and reihan, you know, with this idea of nixon goes to china. >> sometimes it's the more co

i think elise stefanik is great. on the radio only and she's great and talent level being able to speak for them on behalf of the united states. marco rubio is absolutely, if in fact secretary rubio, one of the most eloquent and informed and persuasive people out there. when i look at susie wiles, i point out to people, donald trump, jeb bush, rick scott, and marco rubio all like seussy wiles and she must be -- susie wiles and she must be something special. i've only talked to her once. lee zeldin is great domestic affairs and i'm impressed with everything rolling out of the conveyer belt and orderly speed in which it's advancing and i like the national security people and going for them and going for the treasury and cia and dni because those are a national security going about the economy and i'm very confident he'll continue to bat a thousand. larry: you know, i forget. my memory is short, but some billionaire about a week or two ago said that donald trump does not like to surround himself reqwith smart, strong an

interestingly, elise stefanik's position is of confidence secretary.he number four position when they're in the majority. and the position largely has a history of elevating a republican woman. and so you're seeing republican women kind of begin to look at that seat. the intriguing thing about this is elise stefanik, once she is confirmed to be u.s. ambassador will vacate a seat that likely stays republican. she won handily this time. if republicans are wrestling with a two-seat majority, all of a sudden that gets smaller, and then the total wild card here is mike johnson, who barely got the speakership, and barely held on to it, and so many protests to the speakership early on. he has to go through the machine again. the presumption is he will succeed, but watch out, all bets are off when republicans are behind closed doors. >> the president has decided to appoint someone, congresswoman, to the u.n., who has never been a huge fan of the u.n. that aside, what are you going to be watching as these final races unfold? >> i'm really looking what everyone'
