yeah, that's what tim scott said in a recent thing. yes. the billion for the two. two.be the two biggest senate races, 2026. so, you know, collins and tillis can't go so far afield from the party that they feel like it might hurt. you know, if they're going after trump, it could hurt their ability to get support, you know, financially for their for their midterm. who knows. like they have a lot of different calculations i guess is my point. so tillis is somebody that that there was a lot of expectation that he might have bucked the party in various times. we haven't seen that so far. he's been down the line and almost kind of unabashedly down the line on all of trump's nominees. so, you know, who knows what will actually move them. i do think in this instance, the nih funding this gets right into these communities, it gets into red communities. it gets, you know, and the ripple effect, i think is bigger than elon musk and his doge. you know, teens like realize. right. and so i do think once this really hits communities and once we're through all the legal challenges, ye

i know for a fact that burgess, donald, senator tim scott, three bloke black men vote against the bill but how can they do that will be been struggling to have a right to vote for the longest? and now also, elon musk is he running the country or is president trump? those people's got working for him have security clearances to be doing what they're doing question mckay and veteran i have had a top-secret security clearance i know what it takes to get one. why do you guys want to keep supporting a man who is a convicted felon, a criminal of sexual abuse and fraud for all of these t years. you talk about efficiency the country is not built a refinery we've been producing oil since the barack obama years per. >> richard, we've got a lot to handle there. >> a lot to unpack. thank you for your service i appreciate that. as far as the security clearances i am confident every one of the people who are workingth with doge and under president trump have the necessary clearances to do the work they arere doing. it's absolutely president trump is running this country i find it rather rich that yo

the chair of the senate banking committee tim scott says he plans to encourage the fed chair to stay out of trump's way when it comes to crypto energy and other economic issues. >> the fed has been weapon eyes did, paying crypto assets, stress tests, jay powell calling balls and strikes, not joining energy schemes for financing, one of the rare areas of agreement between trump and the top democrat on the banking committee, senator elizabeth warren is there a tendency, trump blasted him for not cutting rates and so did warren. she claimed he's putting jobs at risk and making it more difficult to afford a home and pay their credit card bills. that tends to move on markets, and the president reaction frozen time on social media so we will see what happens. david: the markets don't seem to care. when the fed does one thing and brings rates. >> wall street has realize they are not coming at the thought they were in december. david: thank you very much. can the market absorb the impact of the tariffs? >> one of the things i've noticed as trump is moved into office, the market already has a

matt gorman, targeted victory executive vp and former tim scott campaign advisor. leslie marshall, fox news contributor. great to see you both. it is working. matt, your first thought? >> it is working. the media was watching this like a hawk for the first two weeks of the administration. i think they were desperate to find some poor crying woman or child they could plaster all over the news as negative example but they haven't. they moved onto to stuff. it's working. trump was empowered to do this. when he keeps his promises as any president should the approval ratings follow and why you see the highest approval ratings he had since entering political life. debate on immigration has changed. president trump led the way on this. >> harris: it was interesting this morning, leslie, to see a very blue democrat sanctuary city mayor, eric adams, on set with the border czar tom homan. democrats have to know in the city, they see it, that this is something that has to happen. you have to get the worst first out of the country. those illegals who were committing violent cr

"i just cancel the $50 million biden-era just a sprint to the climate justice alliance, which believes climate justice travels through a free palestine." is that really what taxpayers want their money spent on? >> no, but this is a distraction and like. there is not $20 billion. he grabs a good headline, they say they're going to to cut $20 billion of waste. they find a few things like that, which they should absolutely cut that. that's wasteful spending picked at $20 billion goes to research and development. he goes to green energy grants that help us invent, innovates, and create the next generation of energy jobs in this country so that we don't have to have them from china. if we are going to have ai in this country, it takes a lot of energy. if we are going to have crypto in this country, it takes a lot of energ

senator tim scott chairs the banking committee, here's what he said moments ago. >> this issue shouldcern every american regardless of political affiliation. that's why i am committed to a bipartisan solution to stop this form of discrimination. >> reporter: donald trump raised concerns directly with bank of america's ceo at the world economic forum in davos accusing bank of america of refusing to do business with conservatives. bank of america says they never close accounts for political reasons but rules and regulations sometimes require them to end those client services, donald trump's concern is finding bipartisan support. senator elizabeth warren who sits on the senate banking committee wrote a letter to donald trump saying she's ready to work with him. here's what warren said moments ago. >> donald trump was on to a real problem when he criticized bank of america for its the banking practices. >> reporter: giving trump credit which is a sign of the bipartisan support trump is now getting in dc. exactly what to do about it, that is where the roads diverge, warren is calling for m

unlike tim scott, who absolutely destroys his opponents all the time. you really do, too. and by the way, he was the greatest surrogate. he was our greatest surrogate. i'd said to him he was brutal. he was very nice. you know, when he ran, he was nice for himself. he was nice. he was such a gentleman. but unfortunately, that doesn't get elected all the time. and i said, how do you think tim would be as a surrogate? and i watched him the first time and he destroyed everybody. then he won again. and he said to me, i never and i thought it was beautiful, actually, because it's like the opposite of me. he said, i've never been able to speak well about myself because i don't like bragging. and i said, this isn't that nice, wouldn't it? and i said, somebody like that. and it's true. he would. he was he was always a great campaigner, but he was it was a good campaign. but it wasn't a vicious, violent campaign. right. but for me, he was vicious and vile and you just destroy people. so i want to so i want to so i want to thank you. i just see you sitting with your new, beautiful wi

matt gorman, former adviser to tim tim scott's presidential campaign. tim, i wonder when you listen to the vice president of the united states say, we don't like what this judge is doing here. you're aware of how the constitution works. there are three branches. there are checks and balances. et cetera. and courts have the ability to to challenge decisions, even by the executive. and the response, at least as i understand it, and i'm not a lawyer, is if you don't like that decision, you appeal. but i wonder, should we take this as a message that trump and team are willing to defy the courts if they don't like what the courts tell them that's for you. oh. >> sorry, i thought i thought you said tim, i apologize. i no, no no, look. oh, yeah. no. clearly this they disagree with the ruling and they will fight it. and look, we have to look no further than the last administration that when the supreme court ruling came down on student loans, joe biden bragged about it. they tried to stop me, and i found a way around it. so i assumed that the trump team will lik

with president trump, this was yesterday during this debanking hearing on capitol hill, this was tim scott's>> doesn't matter who you voted for, what you believe in or the origin of your last name, people shouldn't be arbitrarily denied access to their banks, locked out of their accounts or stripped of their banking privileges. just four big banks, bank of america, jp morgan, wells fargo and citibank accounted for half of all the complaints filed at the cfpb. donald trump was onto a reality problem when he criticized bank of america for its debanking practicing. cheryl: all right, mark. >> wow. cheryl: yes, she's agreeing with donald trump. but what's interesting though is remember that the banks are denying this. >> yeah. cheryl: and we had congressman dan meuser on last hour and he said the problem isn't the banks. this is coming from the fdic. that's where the pressure under joe biden came on top of the banks. we have a lot of questions, we don't have a lot of answers. >> ho hopefully elon gets thrh the fdic and gets that corrected as well. obviously, it's not he'll call o be debanking an

i spoke with tim scott this week on how banks and regulators are being weaponized. watch this. >> that's what i heard from the ceos. the ceos of the bank said this to me to my face, eye to eye, that the occ and regulators were going to create a reputational risk, whatever that means, against banks who did the things like banking illegal businesses, like banking crypto. melania trump, the first lady of our country, was debanked. how is that possible in the freest land in the world? fdic just recently released a trove of documents reinforcing the fact, yes, regulators have been weaponized. maria: yeah, and you know, a lot of people speculated that this was happening that some of the major banks were debanking conservatives for example and it was all politics. i was stunned when melania trump first told me she was debanked. here she is with me before the election last year. watch this. >> when we left the white house, when i established my own business as you said the bank suddenly informed me they will not be able to do business with me anymore. also, i had very promi

according to the associated press, some of the invited guests are south carolina republican senator tim scott, a michigan republican congressman john james, also alice johnson, who the president pardoned in his first term. rapper kodak black, who the president also pardoned in his first term. and rapper boosie badazz, who is online now asking for a pardon from president trump as well. um, why is the president doing this? i think people who both support him and those who do not are asking that question. and as i said, it's this contradiction not only of his rhetoric, but of the executive orders on diversity, equity, inclusion and of other departments in the executive branch. i mean, consider on january 31st, when the president issued the proclamation calling for public officials to hold celebrations of black history month. within hours, the new defense secretary issued guidance saying that identity months dead at dod. same thing from the department of transportation and anything the president reads today, any statement he's handed or anything he says the impact is dwarfed by what he is doing t

there you can see senator tim scott.mp has said that he wants to get rid of the department of education entirely. let's discuss with the last person to hold the job, education secretary in the biden administration, miguel cardona. secretary cardona, it's great to have you here with us. let's talk about this hearing that's happening right now. it's odd to be interviewing for a job that your boss essentially wants to get rid of. and we know mcmahon doesn't have a big background in education. she's probably best known as the executive for world wrestling entertainment. she was the small business administrator in trump's first administration. she did serve briefly on connecticut's board of education for about a year. mr. secretary, what do you make of this unusual moment and what questions need to be asked? >> well, thank you, first of all, ana. >> for having me on, and it's good to see you again. >> look. >> you know, it's i remember going through the hearing myself and getting those questions and, you. >> know. >> back the

and matt gorman, former senior adviser to tim scotts 2024 presidential campaign. matt, why wouldn't the president say who the u.s. gave in return? >> i don't know, i'm not i'm not the expert here. but i think what was interesting, i thought it was a great night. look, i take politics out of it was a great night for america. i felt really bad for his family. i know, because there was a lot of justifiable, you know, joy, when brittney griner and folks at home, you can talk about that. the politics of the deal, which you can disagree with. whatever. but i felt bad. obviously, the mother of marc fogel, i think obviously kind of felt like he was left behind. and so i think it was great to have him home, and also great that the mother really felt great about it. and it was great seeing him with his steelers hat and the beer. i think it was a good night, honestly, all around for this country, i really do. >> karen, you were involved in brittney. you were in brittney griner's team, involved in that release. tell us your reaction to seeing this. >> well, certainly a huge c

and matt gorman, republican strategist, also adviser formally to tim scott's presidential campaign. welcome to all of you. another day in the second trump administration, jonah, and it's all coming so quickly. i do think that there clearly is some appetite among americans for trimming government waste. this is something we hear from voters all the time, but the stakes are incredibly high for things like our air traffic control system. you know, the the data sensitive data of all americans inside the treasury department. they now reportedly have access to medicare and medicaid, which includes people's health records. is elon going too far for american voters or is he not? >> well, if the question is for american voters, i think the evidence isn't in yet. right? i mean, we just don't it doesn't seem to be the massive groundswell of popular sentiment. i think you got to put this in a whole bunch of different buckets, right? i mean, there's the first of all is the actual policy aim desirable? in some cases? i very much willing to defend the trump administration on some of these things.

and matt gorman, former senior adviser to gop senator tim scott. presidential campaign. good morning to you all. >> good morning. >> happy president's day. matt, first to you. what do you think the rationale is of not including ukraine in these talks with russia when ukraine is saying, you know, we're not going to agree to anything, that we're not a part. >> at the first meeting, by the way, i took it more than anything else. is the u.s. really asserting authority in this whole process, right, of getting everybody in a room and letting it be a little bit chaotic? there really, honestly, almost what cops do when they have a thing between two parties, they separate them, talk to them individually. i think they're getting the baseline negotiations before they enter into if there is to be something where they all come together. i feel like there, first of all, they're trying to assert authority, separate them and then go into further talks. >> do you see it that way? >> no. i mean, this could all end. putin invaded a sovereign country. so this could all end if putin just cam

kendi is black, tim scott, black senator from south carolina, needs to learn his place and take a kneea knee to maga. they must learn their place. kay cole james of heritage foundation, a conservative woman who was running the heritage foundation, needs to learn her natural place and take a knee to maga. so this man has named black people liberal and conservative, including pro-trump republicans, and said these black people need to learn their place and that competent white men must be in charge. if you want things to work that guys at state, any issues with that? >> well, and not just. >> that. he's at. >> state, but i believe he's being nominated for an undersecretary of state position. you know, meanwhile, he is somebody who has said that that the uyghurs, the atrocities against the uyghurs in china hasn't happened. he is somebody that talked about how, you know, we shouldn't be getting involved in supporting taiwan. you know, this is something that we see just across the board. and when trump is talking about or elon musk is talking about, you know, we need to make sure people are

hayes, former biden white house director of message planning matt gorman, former senior adviser to tim scott's presidential campaign. welcome to all of you. thank you so much for being here. stephen collinson, let me start with you. big picture here. donald trump is clearly choosing one set of the priorities that he campaigned on over another. i mean, he threatened this this tariff war. he said he was upset about deportations and about immigration and about drugs. but he also said he was going to lower prices. >> that's right. and i think this is one of the big risks of the approach he's taking is that this could spike inflation, that could make the fed keep interest rates high, that could keep the housing market locked up. so there's lots of, uh, consequences if the president does go ahead and these tariffs come into force, uh, tuesday morning at 12:01 a.m. and they stay in force for a long time. i think this is symptomatic of a break with the way that the united states has used free trade over the last 40 odd years, uh, putting pressure on on an ally like canada, especially although they don

white men must be in charge and telling various black people, including the south carolina senator tim scotthose of polish and french extraction remain. so we're creating kind of a almost a sort of a white nationalist context for the trump administration. right. but here's my problem. just for you as an economics guy, the american public is only 30% white male. that's right. don't you want to sell things to the other 70%, which includes a lot of women? and that. >> doesn't make sense. and the economic the strength of this country is that ultimately people will tire of this nonsense. >> you can be. >> vengeful. >> you can be mad, you can do whatever you want to do. but we. >> actually have to produce things. we have to sell things to the rest of the world. we have to employ. >> people to make those things. so i agree with you, but you identified something. >> russell. vote going back to. >> to his position in government. the priorities of a government are outlined by their budget. right. >> the constitution doesn't say anything about how you make policy. it says that. >> congress must appropr

as the chairman of the house financial services committee i'm committed to my work with chairman tim scotte capitol in the senate as well as the trump administration to right-size the regulatory burden facing america's financial providers. when we do that, we'll preserve safety and soundness, absolutely. but we will also increase the access to capital to our family, tour businesses that need it. together we'll facilitate faster and stronger economic growth in the years ahead. i appreciate my friend from utah and i yield back to him and i thank him for the time. mr. moore: i thank the gentleman, i thank my colleagues for being here to speak on these important pieces of legislation. under the biden-harris administration, federal agencies expanded their pow. i think if people truly understood how much of that was done during the biden administration, there would be more appreciation, and it'll take some time to understand what's going on, but there'll be more appreciation for trying to right-size this. that's a significant effort from the trump administration. and i think it's important to se

and believe it or not, one of those people he was talking about was tim scott. so i don't know what was going on there. >> they could have nominated this guy to be some kind of cabinet secretary. that's so old. 19, 2016 or whatever. look, we're in a whole different time now, and what i'm getting at is that donald trump just pardoned 1500 white nationalists. white nationalists, like folks that are out committing crimes every single day. i get tired of my republican friends talking about safe. >> hold on, hold on. >> i don't think we can call. look, the january 6th, people who were convicted, many of them were convicted of crimes. >> getting in trouble. >> yes. i mean, because you cannot just call 1600 people white nationalists. many of them were convicted of crimes. many of them have ties to far right entities, militia groups, et cetera. but the vast majority of them were people who did bad things and were punished for them, and now are set free. >> by them. >> and now you're going to have one. as a deputy secretary of this department. >> i mean, i my, my problem

of the things it did was create the opportunity zone program championed by our colleague, senator tim scott. it was scott turner who oversaw this program for the white house, visiting opportunity zones across the country to revitalize america's distressed communities. i'm confident he will bring that same concern for distressed areas to his work as secretary. mr. president, president trump has made it clear we are going to be building things in america again. one of those things we're going to be building is communities. it's a big job, but scott turner has the grit, the determination, and passion to get it done. i look forward to working with him on this important mission. mr. president, i yield the floor, and i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the clerk: ms. alsobrooks. [inaudible conversations] we are meeting today to consider nomination of robert f kennedy junior. we are still waiting to get our members here and will proceed with statements and we will rotate one side to the other prepare for the vote to confirm, the oppo

next we will have senator tim scott to introduce the honorable kelly loeffler. senator scott, you are recognized. sen. scott: thank you. it is my honor to be here today to introduce president trump's nominee to serve as the administrator of the small business administration, my friend, kelly loeffler from the great state of georgia. i agreed to introduce kelly today because her path, like mine, to success, and to the u.s. senate, defied all odds. she is standing before you because she loves the lord, she has an amazing work ethic, and, frankly, she loves our country as much as anyone i have ever met. small business business in rural america ran through the thread of the lefler family. i love the story of her family. she is a fourth-generation farmer. her grandfather had an eighth-grade education. her father, a high school education. she worked so hard that literally her hard work and her strong value system made her the first college graduate, then later she learned her mba. her story is, frankly, a story of remarkable success generally one that we should all be

senator tim scott, of south carolina, who is now chairman of the banking comm committee, created these opportunity zones in the tax cuts and jobs act. scott turner was instrumental in their success, he's the right man to restore opportunity now. he's going to put his experience and his leadership skills to work for the american people, and i strongly support his nomination. on a separate matter, mr. speaker -- mr. chairman, president trump and republicans were elected to secure the border. that's exactly what we're doing. in his first few weeks in office, president trump declared an emergency at the southern border. he restored remain in mexico, he shut down the biden amnesty app. president trump defunded sanctuary cities, he began deportation flights for illegal criminal immigrants. he and said the laken riley act into law. he listed drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. he pledged to send 30,000 of the worst illegal immigrant illegals to guam gauantanamo bay. in seattle, couples enforcement agent arrested an an alien who was convicted of raping a child and another was conv

. >> i think the question and the question that even tim scott raised when he was on with us two days ago is you want to make sure that it is not leaning any political direction, not not with the republicans when they're in term in office, not with the democrats when they're in office. and that would be the tricky part, is having an oversight board that makes sure that it doesn't blow with the political winds. >> whoever said we don't like industrial. >> policy, i think that was his way of saying it. >> and we think and we think the government is terrible at picking winners and losers. and here we are. >> we don't like nation building. >> yeah. >> you're looking at condos there. yeah. >> the condos. >> where? in gaza. that's what he means, which the white house is really walking pretty steadily from that. >> it's crazy. but all i'll say is that the status quo is that we just look at that and don't. i don't know whether thinking outside the box is the way to do it, but it's such an intractable. >> it is an. intractable problem. >> but the idea. >> of displacing palestinians, first of a

and i was so pleased yesterday that david saxe representing president trump, my friend tim scott, chairman the house ag committee, and john bozeman, chairman of the senate committee. we all came together yesterday to talk about our priorities, to move regulatory clarity for digital assets in the us so that we can have fintech and digital assets, be a premier area of innovation and technological advance right here in the us, instead of what gary gensler left us with, was people moving out of the united states, moving offices to london, to the eu, to the middle east to work on blockchain programs. that's not the right way to operate. and regulation by enforcement is a bad way to go. we should ask that they use an open process through the federal register to propose new rules, which gary gensler did not do, and to work with congress to make sure that we have clarity for innovators up and down the capital formation arena. >> yeah. >> and one of the concerns about. crypto has been that it's used for. tax evasion. >> and i. >> think that the regulation starts this year, where the crypto exchange

elevated senate colleagues, chairman boozman and chairman scott, perhaps there is no one more pleased than me to be able to say chairman boozman. john and tim and their members will bring a wealth of talent and expertise to the discussion from the senate majority. we did incredible work in the house last congress, the 118th, and i'm proud of the efforts that went into our historic vote. i'm equally excited to have these partners and a new administration in place to be able to finish the job. i'm thrilled to lead the house agriculture committee members as we work with this incredible team to put a bill on president trump's desk and i think at this point we are in the position to take a few questions. >> we will take some questions. direct your questions, say your name. >> thank you for holding this today. you're talking about legislation, can you talk a little bit about last time, the bill you plan to introduce again, what differences are we going to see now that we have a trifecta in washington? >> thanks, we did you could work, strong bipartisan work on 21, which was the clarity for market structure bill. that bill i think had the exact ba
