the golden age of america is here and we're just getting started, steve scalise. >> already seeing the benefits of aggressive approach toward turning washington back to the people, standing up for the people of this country being down and struggling from their failed policies of joe biden and kamala harris the last four years. prepare donald trump's office in 2017 to what you see today you're watching a focused president and washington to firmly stand up and fight with his family struggling lessons from his first term in delivery bigger faster results for the american people. look at that some we are working on now, the budget is something you might ask about, maybe one two questions but something we've been spending time on because it's a way to deliver the biggest commitments made during the election. the biggest things president trump wanting to accomplish in our reconciliation plan, a lot of bills and ideas, there's only one plan that delivers commitments and priorities president trump has if you think about what we are trying to do my first getting a budget and then reconciliation

taxes and reads in raising the tax season will congress payroll and tariffs going into effect steve scalisee great state of louisiana was applying to a avoid a and raise the debt ceiling and accomplish your legislative agenda, all of that looks like a slim majority. >> well this easy part of the job and obviously, each one of those things you described are going on at the same time and you know, we are working on a lot of different things right now with president trump on government funding. steve: that expires in march but especially fred and center is budget reconciliation which we already begun. that's what we really get into the heart of pushing the trump agenda and funding the remaining build out of the wall for border security and giving our border patrol agent smart technology drones and nightvision goggles another thanks and again working with president trump and his team to make sure that they have all of the tools they need to properly secure the border. energy production opening up our areas the biden and harris regime close down. they were very anti- american energy and we saw t

with that, our leader, steve scalise. >> we are just getting started. it's a new today. you are already seeing the benefits of president trump's aggressive approach towards turning washington back to the people, standing up for the people of this country that have been struggling under the failed policies of joe biden and kamala harris the last four years. it has been at a rapid pace. if you compare donald trump's first month in office in 2017 to what you're seeing today, you're watching a much more focused and aggressive president who came to washington to finally stand up and fight for those families who have been struggling and he's taking the lessons from his first term in delivering bigger results faster results for the american people. if you look at the things we are working on right now, obviously, the budget is something you may ask the speaker about. maybe one or two questions. it is something we have been spending time on because it is the way we will be delivering some of the biggest commitments that were made during the election. the biggest thing that presi

and i turn it over to our majority leader, steve scalise. mr. scalise: thank you, whip. it's a really important week. when you think about what we've laid out in our agenda, the culmination of months of work has gone into what we are doing this week to finally start delivering on the mdate that presidentrump, house republicans and senate republicans were given b voters across the cntry in november. voters said theyant a secure border. we diver in this budget that we're ing to pass this week. voters said they don't want a tax increase. and believe me, that wasn the ballot because donald trump said, want to keep the 2017 tax cuts in place, we don't want an increase for anybody, and we want to build on it. he added more things. kamala harris said she wants those tax cuts to expire, resulting in a multitrillion-dollar tax increase on the american peopl the voters decided very clearly with president trump they don't want that tax increase hit. we deliver that in this budget. the machinery people said in november -- the american people said in november they want more american

with that i turn it over to our leader, steve scalise. mr. scalise: thank you, whip. good morning to all of you. since donald trump took the oath of office on january 20, you have seen the president work as a feverish pace to deliver on the promises that he made to the american people. to start fixing the problems that were created during four years of a failed biden-harris agenda. you saw president trump take action to secure america's border, probably the front and center issue of the campaign. we are already seeing dramatic results for the american people. you have seen president trump work to open up more american energy to lower costs for families. you have seen him work to get costs savings from federal agencies so that american taxpayer dollars are not wasted in so many areas. go ask usaid how that's working out for them when they have to now be exposed to the fact that they were funding to the tune of millions of dollars drag shows in foreign countries with americans' hard-earned tax dollars. you are going to continue to see that level of scrutiny and that lev

house majority leader steve scalise, thank you. you read the headlines.the newspapers. we can barely take what's been happening since january 20th without you gentlemen. really? and ladies being involved, what do you have in store for us? >> well good morning, good to be with you. and there's a lot of good things in store. you know, every step of the way. since president trump was sworn in, now in his second term, we've been working with him very closely on the things they're doing. you know, clearly with what the doge is doing, we're working because some of those items are going to have to be done legislatively to get rid of that wasteful spending, but also on what we're going to do to get our economy growing again. that's really what we when we get into these budget talks and ultimately the budget reconciliation process to lock in the trump tax cuts, many of which are expiring at the end of this year, we sure don't want to see a massive $4.5 trillion tax increase. so we have legislation to prevent that, to produce more energy in america. some of that ta

steve scalise was on x saying it is time to act on all the powerful mandates the american people gavesten, one team is what i vote for. what i've seen for the first time in my time in washington, republicans playing team ball. that is great news. john thune, mike johnson, president trump on the same page working the sausage factory. an ugly process behind doors. the good news is president wants it done in public. that's great news. we'll start on that this week. get the border done. we'll find ways to help explode the energy opportunities in our country. we'll see frankly our defense taken care of and yes, we need to make sure the $4 trillion of tax cuts are permanent. how do we get there? one bill, two bills, that we get there is the most important ingredient for president trump's success and we will deliver. >> bill: i'm hearing a little folks on the senate side waivering on this. i don't know if you go for one or two. chuck schumer as it out for you. watch . >> this will be a long, drawn out fight and show the hollowness of republican arguments on cutting waste and attempts to cut

. >> harris: look, i had on house majority leader steve scalise talking about the tax cuts. he said it will be a tax increase if this doesn't pass. let's see if they can make it permanent now. >> it is another -- i love the goal. the goal of permanence should absolutely be our focus. here is what we're talking about and why it is so important. in 2017, i helped write the individual side of that code. i looked at my mom. a single mother working long hours. average single mother in america saw a 70% cut in their federal tax burden. think about the child tax credit. we doubled that. what does that mean? more money for families raising kids. think about the corporate tax coming from 35 to 21%. we lowered every bracket in the tax code and for small businesses there was a 20% haircut on their profits meaning they had more money to invest in their employees. to invest in capital. to invest in equipment. this is why we saw the economy hum. at the exact same time, harris, we saw a 3% increase in 2018 and another 3% in 2019 of revenues coming to the treasury. once again proofing the c

steve scalise is right in front here. what a brave guy. steve is.steve went through a lot and he proved one thing to me, only one thing that his wife loved him. his wife loves him because i went to the hospital that night and he was not given even a shot. right. mike and i was with him and i was with his wife, and she was devastated. she was really devastated. and i've been to, you know, similar situations, not quite as bad, but the wives were not so devastated. and i can tell you i can tell you that great wife of yours loves you. so anyway. and what you've done is incredible. the way you've come back. it's you better. you look better now than you did before it happened. but. but nobody wants to go. nobody wants to go through that. yeah. it's amazing. tom emmer doing a fantastic job. thank you. tom. great job. >> we've been listening to president donald trump at the white house. they're signing an executive order banning trans athletes from women's sports. the president making a a number of remarks on other issues, namely the department of education

raising money, spreading love and turns out miss steve scalise is a chiefs fan, so something tells me she's going to be making plenty of memories right here at the super bowl today. >> all right, coy, thank you for that. and thank you for spending your morning with us. inside politics sunday with manu raju is next. >> have a great day.

it's because the likes of susan collins, of mike johnson, of mitch mcconnell, of steve scalise, the republicana crisis. if donald trump is held to account by the congress. >> and part of the reason for the crisis phase, when elon musk was doing his very weird physiology today, he was very, very, very twitchy. i have no idea what's going on with him, but just very seemed sort of irritable and just noting that when he was giving his monologue on democracy and mandates, he neglected to say that those same voters sent the thinnest ruling majority in decades. and part of the kind of autocratic push here is the other side of the coin, that they don't have the votes to get rid of usaid. they don't have the votes to get rid of cfpb. they don't have the votes to cut billions of dollars out of cancer and alzheimer's funding. they have the votes to do none of it. if they had the votes, they would be doing it. but they don't. and one of the. yes. and what i want all of us to urge, you know, democrats across the country to think about is there's working class people right there who are suffering. they thei

just take a listen to house majority leader steve scalise. >> every time we've had a big vote on the house floor, we're talking to members all the way up until the moment the vote closes. during the vote, we're talking to members. go look at every big vote we've had. today is no different. sure, we're still talking. we talked to the speaker, and i were in a meeting last night for over an hour, talking to a lot of members that had questions. we ended that meeting with every one of them finishing as a yes vote. we still have more conversations to have today. >> and those conversations appear to include president donald trump, speaker mike johnson just moments ago telling reporters that trump himself is working the phones, trying to flip some of these holdouts and convince them to get to. yes. so we'll see whether that's enough for the vote tonight. but the house did just clear a key procedural vote, which will allow this budget resolution to move forward in the house tonight. chris. >> so, congressman, there is uneasiness among swing district republicans over nearly $1 trillion in pote

. >> congressman jolly, republican leader, majority leader steve scalise, tried to blame democrats fort getting on board with this. and, you know, if the budget the budget vote fails, obviously, republicans control the house, even if it is by just a few members. so what kind of a test is this for speaker johnson and the gop? >> yeah. it's significant. >> i mean, the numbers are the numbers. >> and i think. >> history would suggest. >> even with. >> as slim as the numbers are. >> when you have a republican president, a republican senate. >> and house, this likely gets done. >> i mean, history would. >> suggest that. >> if it's this. >> week or if it's next month. however, with only two. >> votes to lose, it's. >> interesting because. >> i think within the house republicans right now, you have. >> the medicaid. >> caucus who might be brought along. they can probably find. >> a way. >> to negotiate. >> and then you've got kind. >> of four members who. >> are. sticking out. >> right now. and you don't know. >> are they just. >> a never know. or are they a no because they want something. >>

raising money, spreading love and turns out miss steve scalise is a chiefs fan, so something tells me she's going to be making plenty of memories right here at the super bowl today. >> all right, coy, thank you for that. and thank you for spending your morning with us. inside politics sunday with manu raju is next. >> have a great day. >> trump. >> take over. >> the president takes a sledgehammer to the government. >> we're going to be looking at department of education. we're going to be looking at even our military. >> our judges. >> are saying not so fast. the news overnight. and what's next? my panel weighs in. plus my new reporting and how democrats are responding. and the elon effect. >> this is. >> what victory feels like. yeah. >> i'll talk to a close ally of musk about his next steps. >> i think the. >> american people like. >> the intensity and the speed and the focused. energy they like. i think what elon musk is showing them. >> but is it. >> all legal? >> house judiciary chairman jim jordan live. plus, it's super bowl sunday and trump's the first president to go. >> mahom

. >> house majority leader steve scalise said this morning that there will be a vote tonight. now, the speaker says there may not be one. what are you hearing? >> yeah, i'm hearing the vote on the budget resolution, which should not be confused with budget reconciliation. i'm hearing that the budget resolution vote should be expected this week as early as today. of course, it's an important step to put our nation back on the right track and deliver on a lot of the promises trump and house republicans made during the course of our campaigns. things about reducing inflation, bending the curve of our nation's debt, this budget resolution vote, which will happen either today or later this week, as expected, is an important first step in that process. >> so where are you right now on the budget resolution? >> i'm a yes on budget resolution. on one hand, it's a very important vote to put the train back on the right tracks. but on the other hand, it's just a mere procedural vote to then have an opportunity to have a policy discussion on tax and spending, a very necessary one, one tha

because the number two republican, steve scalise, said, okay, the president was in the room. using whiteboards, but i haven't seen top line numbers. we're not even necessarily sure what policy priorities are 100% in. so talk to us about what we do know. >> so according. >> to sources. >> and i. >> mean members on the record. >> come back saying this was a positive meeting. now sources say that this i mean, this meeting obviously ran longer than what it was anticipated to over four hours. so trump was in the room at the beginning of the meeting. as long as jd vance, the vice president, and then he kind of was talking to them, realize how far apart they were. it's like, hey, i'm going to go into the oval, you all come get me, and y'all figure this out yourselves. you come get me whenever you have a meeting, whenever you have to come to an agreement. and they kind of work through it. and then votes were called in the house. i mean, they were working for so long that votes were called at 4 p.m. and they still had not come to an agreement, but they felt good about where they at, a

but we heard earlier this morning from steve scalise, the majority leader, just before he went into this meeting, saying that he does believe that they could vote today. here's what he said. >> we're going to be moving. >> the house budget on the floor. >> later today. so probably around 6:00. >> we've got to. >> do some of the procedural motions earlier, around 130 debate the bill. >> be a robust debate. >> on that. >> bill as. >> there should be. >> you know, we want to get our country back on track, deliver. >> on the promises. >> and the mandate that president trump was given. and the budget does. >> all. >> of those things. >> and now this is just the very first step, john, we should point this out. this is really just a blueprint. it gives the house committees directions for how to proceed to the next part of this negotiation, which is really writing legislation for trump's agenda. now, house republicans have a very different vision for what they want to do. they want to include a debt ceiling hike. they want to include more money for the border. more money for defense. they also w

i turned over to the majority leader steve scalise. >> thank you is a really important week when younk about what we laid out in our agenda the culmination of months of work has gone into what we are doing this week to deliver on the mandate that president trump, house republicans and senate republicans were given by voters across the country in november. the voters said they wanted a secure border, we delivered in this budget and that were going to pass it this week. voters said they don't want a tax increase and believe me that was on the ballot because donald trump said i want to keep the 2017 tax cuts in place we don't want it increase for anybody and we want to build on it. he added more things. kamala harris said she wants to tax cuts to expire resulted in a multi trillion dollar tax increase on the american people, the voters decided very clearly with president trump they didn't want the tax increase to hit and we deliver that in this budget. the american people said in november they want more american energy to be produced. we deliver in this budget. we do a lot of other thin

steve scalise had this to say about president obama.sident obama has this fantasy that he can use his pen to write laws. we don't have a monarchy in this country. there is an executive branch and the legislative branch and the president has to work with congress to get things done. on to the topic of usaid and the trump musk decision to gut the agency. the decision is dangerous and heartless and careless. the house majority leader steve scalise was not majority leader when he said this. he was a member of congress at the time. first i'd like to read excerpts of speeches given by secretary rubio in which he expressed support for international aid before confirmed. the lack of un-american engagement comes with a higher price of its own many. of our nation's adversaries rivals have been enbolded by foreign policy. our allies want to know if h america can be counted on, whether we will continue to be a beacon to the rest of the world. our legacy is that of a nation that for two centuries planted its feet and pushed out against the walls of

the house schedule came out from steve scalise's office and out of our 365 days in the year our houses only working guess how many? 136 days of the whole year. they want a raise. that comes up to $1249 a day of their working schedule. i think we have a bigger problem than trump. democrats want to get on their high horse that we want you working. we want you in session. we want our spending. we want our appropriation bills done. we do not want to see on the buses and everything. i think they work seven days until march 14. we have a bigger problem than just trump. host: jodey in texas. the senate back in session expected to vote to confirm howard let nick as commerce separate -- howard lutnick as commerce secretary and expected to advance a vote on kash patel as fbi director. this is rob from mission talking about money issues inside the republican party, saying the gop needs to pass a balanced budget provide authorization legislation to the president to cufunding if needed. danielle from oregon saying we need more exciting candidates. akeem jeffries and chuck schumer are no that. our

speaker mike johnson and the majority leader steve scalise saw to reassure the public and potential jitteryrs of their own caucuses that the medicaid changes under discussion include work requirements and fraud reduction, not just to cuts such as lowering the federal match from medicaid extent -- medicaid expansion and states or instituting a cap. how worried are you about potential cuts to medicaid and how might that affect community health centers? guest: fortunately we had 2000 people last week in d.c. for our national conference. we really wanted to focus in on educating members of congress on the value of medicaid to the health centers and their patients. it is 50% of the patients that we see. it is about 40% of the revenue, so this is a significant concern, as we think of this. but at the same time it is early on in the process and we have strong support on both sides of the aisle and we want to continue to work with policymakers to come and know, articulate how any policy changes what impact communities across the country. as peter mentioned, we serve one in 10 across the country, bu
