leader thune said no question about who started the war. russia is the aggressor here.on next year. president putin is evil and he has to be stopped. louisiana senator kennedy, to the extent that the white house has said ukraine started the war, i disagree. senator cramer, trump is factually wrong to call zelensky a dictator. senator rounds, clearly ukraine needs our support, and i think the vast majority of us are very supportive. >> of ukraine. >> they were the ones that were attacked. and then bacon said, too bad iran, north korea and china are not pausing their military aid and economic support. that is a long list of republicans, senator, that share your concern about donald trump cutting off aid to an ally who has been invaded by russia. >> well, you're right, joe. i'm glad to hear those statements, but we need more action out of our republican senate colleagues. so, for example, they have an opportunity to actually push back by through the nominations process, right? don't just clear all these people automatically while the president is engaged in this disgracefu

and as leader thune has said, and senator lindsey graham, senator ted cruz and others who are initially in favor of a different strategy of a two bill strategy, they acknowledge the importance of the house leading on this, i think, and i, i believe we're ultimately going to combine forces and get the one big, beautiful bill done. i think the effort is to get it done. the idea is to get it done by the end of april and get it to the president's desk for signature, because that will provide much needed relief to the american people. economic relief, stability for business owners and people who have to make decisions going forward. and in that same bill, dana will do all sorts of things, make sure the border is secure. we will get american energy dominance going again. we will reduce red tape and cut down the bureaucracy in this country that the american people want us to do. and and again, move one step forward even further in restoring peace through strength. so it's a critical piece of legislation. >> you met this past week with elon musk for several hours, i believe, on the white house

urged them to get behind the plan to keep spending levels consistent through september 30th but john thuneing the house budget blueprint to a vote before the mid-march break, several pushing to rewrite the senate's budget entirely. joining us now, former house speaker kevin mccarthy. great to see you. thanks for being here this morning. what do you think about all of this? you have one plan in the house, the one big beautiful bill with president trump's items and agenda. you have a two track session in the senate. where is this going? you've been down this road so many times. >> this is a unique situation you have when you control the house, the senate and the white house. you can take care of the tax bill without having to have 60 votes in the senate so you want to make sure you get it right so i give credit to both house. jason smith and the speaker did a tremendous job to push that bill and get that through. that was a difficult job. the senate has done an amazing job but the senate for the first time in modern history has a larger majority than the house. it's like any other bill. each

i suggested to senator thune, maybe have a test vote about title 9. doge that, too. >> jesse: they put them on defense in the senate the other day. what will it look like when this woman is getting applauded and democrats are sitting like this? >> brian: the best optics, president trump was signing that ball. he waved the girls over to him to get closer. they're all staring at him. it's sincere. they're happy he's helping them. riley gains is in tears because of everything she went through. you ask yourself, do the democrats have daughters and nieces? i have to play against a trans agendaer midfielder tomorrow. are you kidding me? it's rare for a ball to hit you like that, but if you played soccer. >> jesse: field hockey. >> jeanine: he spiked it. >> brian: it's more apt to get hurt in the other sports. >> jesse: harold, more advice. >> harold: can we go back to talking acted tariffs? i agree with everything. i'm confounded why democrats couldn't vote for this bill. >> jesse: no more tariffs. ahead, democrats going crazy on the copy and paste button.

republican senate leader john thune. >> it tells you the democrats haven't gotten the message from the last election. no-brainer. it is obvious to the american people that biological boys shouldn't be playing girls sports and why it is an 80% issue. the democrats -- i don't know why they seem invested in defending this narrow issue. an issue that is clearly out of step with the american people and frankly from every perspective just wrong. >> harris: you know she has worked mightily on this issue. tennessee senator marsha blackburn is one of the co-sponsor and joins me now in "focus." senator, tell me what it was like learning the news last night that all democrats had voted against this. >> it was so surprising because 79% of the american people, according to the "new york times" poll, support protecting girls and women in sports. and for the democrats and you know, harris, even 67% of democrats in that poll support protecting women and girls in sports. so the democrat senate is completely out of step with where the american people and their own party are on this issue. and to see the

through the week, we had meetings with president macron with a small group of senators led by senator thune. and what i kept thinking is to a. t. the republican senators that have met with these foreign leaders have been very clear that they are supportive of ukraine, at least the ones that go to the meeting and that they believe that vladimir putin is the dictator and that he. started this war. so we start with that. so i thought that president. >> zelensky, this. >> couldn't have gone better this morning. he was actually looking forward to going over to the white house. he was in. >> good spirits. >> so when i watched that video, there is one aggressor. there is one side showing disrespect, and that is when j.d. vance berates a president of a foreign country that is our ally. >> zelensky has. stood up to. >> a dictator. he they have lost hundreds of. thousands of people. he did it with three simple words. the first day of the invasion, when he went down to the street corner, when everyone had counted him out and said three words we are here. and that has never changed. the mass graves in

one of those is senate majority leader john thune, who i just asked if he's willing to stick with trump through and through if this were to increase prices on his constituents back home. he said that he is in a different place than the trump administration is on this issue. and that is very clear in talking to republicans across the board. some of them are plainly worried about what this may mean for their constituents in their districts. what's the impact on your constituents if these tariffs? >> it wouldn't be good. you know, i come from an agricultural area. canada and mexico are two of our top trading partners. and so it would make our ability to sell our products more difficult. >> and if i have to pay a little bit more for for something, i'm all for it to get america right again, to start whittling down this 36.5 billion or trillion dollars worth of debt that we have, that's unsustainable. >> you think that a lot of your constituents feel the same way? they're willing to pay a little bit more? >> well, i think so. i mean, look, we have lived under the oppression of joe biden's hyp
