they want to focus instead on passing president trump's agenda. is nominees can't do the job down the road, along with president trump, he will be addressing that, i promise you that. but until then, we need to support whoever president trump wants on his team. senate republicans should be thanking president trump for helping us take back the majority here on this floor and the senate. we have a country to save, no more playing games. i for one am playing for keeps, i encourage my colleagues to think the same way. everyng single one of president trump's cabinet nominees should be confirmed no question. we must save the united states from a total collapse at the hands of the globalist, socialist democrats who have run our country into the ground for the lastco four years. i have personally witnessed it right here on this floor. mr. president, i yield the floor. >> wednesday on c-span, the house returning at 10:00 a.m. eastern for general speeches before turning to legistive business at noon. meer will consider several foreign policy related measures

president trump with a whopping 68% of those who view the economy as poor backing 45. joining me now former treasury secretary under president trump steven mnuchin. secretary mnuchin it's great to see you, thank you for being here, your reaction to this week unprecedented in terms of what we saw at the ballot box. >> it's good to be with you clearly this was an overwhelming note of support for president trump's economic plan and the success he had in the first term and what people view as a success he will have going forward. maria: let's talk about the agenda. president trump said he will extend the tax cuts, he will reduce trade deals and if he needs to use tariffs he absolutely will. he said he is willing to put tariffs on anybody who is not fair in terms of their treatment to america. are you worried about his use of tariffs and tell us how you see the tax extension cuts playing out. >> i'm not worried about his tariff plan and i support his trade policy, i would say first of on taxes is number one priority should extend the trump tax cuts and once he does that he g

it is difficult to overstate what president trump did from in election. republicans have improved our margins, in three out of every four counties in the united states and grew support with nearly every demographic group. president trump won more hispanic support than any republican president ever before, and younger voters played a crucial role in his victory. the republican coalition is broad and strong and growing. mr. president, the american people handed president trump and senate republicans a decisive victory, and now the real work begins, delivering on our agenda. that starts with ending the biden-harris border crisis and deporting illegal immigrants. also at the top of the list is strengthening our economic and fiscal future. the last four years of democratic inflation have been very difficult for working americans. republicans will be focused on doing everything we can to expand economic opportunity and increase growth. that starts with taking action to preserve the tax relief republicans delivered for americans during the first trump administrat

well, look, president trump i difficult to pull off. difficult to pull off. well, . look, president trump has a mandate, the scenario right now, particularly with immigration, we are seeing two different things, one, republicans have a mandate, not just with president trump and well in the electoral powers but he won the popular vote and to that end, a lot of americans voted for president trump because they were concerned about border security and immigration so i think we are going to see on day one president trump and republicans enacted many policies with respect to immigration. i think they will pick up where they left off, take for example title 42 and other policies that president trump enacted in his first presidency. i think americans expect, the majority who voted for him, expecting my president trump and republicans in congress, to take action on border security, in congress, to take action on bordersecurity, i in congress, to take action on border security, i think he will move forward with mass deportation, bringing potential

will add to voters the base, ohio, president trump i believe going to win by 10 to telephone points going to carry, over that finish line, sherrod brown in office too long looking at house today maria, i genuinely believe as president trump continues to do well, peel off democrat voters we are going to have more independents democrats saying enough is enough, you haven't sealed to border you absolutely have increased, our cost on every day goods, so we are going to see more and more seats pick up for the house and senate, in my opinion. maria: i mean look, immigration has been one of the key issues here, but, you know, cheryl, the democrats confuse the people because they are talking about trump and republicans not wanting immigration when in fact we all know they want a diverse pop lacing outstanding coming to this country legally not through open border, and coming in unvedz way we don't know who is here what intentions are. >> immigration on ballot mace like ohio. for instance. and in new york, speak of house races but, you know, look at this look what is happening in wisconsin,

i think president trump, hopefully, will endorse rick, want to work with rick because president trumpdo big things. we need bold leadership in the senate, and rick scott can provide that leadership. maria: and since then tennessee senator bill hagerty and kentucky senator rand paul have also said weekend they, a too, will be voting for rick scott this wednesday. joining me now with more op on his bid to e place mcconnell is the man himself, florida senator rick scott. senator, thanks very much for being here this morning. >> maria, tuesday night was so exciting. i was at dinner last night, and everybody came up to me. he were is excited. -- they were so excite. they said they really, really believe we're going to get our country back. florida, we won miami-dade, we won with, you know, we won by -- in my case, we won by 1.4 million votes, trump won by, i think, 1.4 million votes. we had a great night. now how do we get trump's agenda done? his nominees done? how do we codify his executive orders? that's what's up for this leadership race right now. so i'm running to change -- we've got

i suspect a lot of people voted for president trump or truck in the park by the fact president trump conveys a lot of the optimism andur faith in our country. it is been a tough four years for the american people. the life of president trump and ronald reagan i believe america's best days lie ahead. i look forward to working with my republican colleagues here in the united states senate to build a strong and prosperous america and a bright new dawn for the american people. mr. present i yield the floor. both tv every sunday on c-span2 features leading authors discussing their latest nonfiction books. here's a look at what is coming up. all we can book tv takes you live to the texas book festival in austin. coverage begins saturday continues on sunday at 12:15 p.m. eastern author discussions on abortion, gun violence, infrastructure and more. the association of the u.s. army authors form for members discussed the books on military leadership and adapting to the battlefield. and at 10:00 p.m. eastern on after words journalist has a book how that race to mine metals and hued and technolo

president trump did that. liz cheney was in the front row at that convention in 2020 on the south lawn listening very intently to president trump speak and i know things changed after that but people want to reinvent history and political allegiances and alliances. i'll stop with this. for all the talk about this straight republican or that is endorsing calmly harris 1 of the tens and millions of should be would be democratic rank-and-file voters that are supporting president trump. that's a real story of this election and that's why it's tight and that's what he has an advantage spee nick tetz i think you see so much focus on men and women voters and whose polling in which direction. you know the trump team says they are getting a low emmet piil pense voters many of those are the trump campaign's effort to dig deeper into areas where people maybe didn't vote before or have a low propensity to vote and in many cases they are men and women watch this. i want to get your reaction to this with regard to what has b

they want president trump's america first agenda and they want it now. as a result, senate republicans should embrace this mandate in supporting every single one of president trump's cabinet picks. you would think this would be a no-brainer. not one democrat broke from their party in supporting joe biden's nominees in 2021. not one. however, over the last few days, i've heard some of my senate republican colleagues express concern over who president trump is picking for his team. i would expect this from my colleagues on the left, not on the right. i am hearing grumblings from republicans. my advice to them is, get on board or get out of the way. the american people have enthusiastically trusted president trump and j.d. vance with saving our great republic. i am calling on my senate republican colleagues to listen to both the american people and the constituents in their states and support president trump's vision for his cabinet. the last time around, the republican senate took months to confirm president trump's appointments, if not years. as a result,

he is a fighter that president trump wants, remember president trump felt like he was supposed to be general, acting in an independent way is not nearly decisive enough in his interest as president. that is not the case with matt gaetz, big question of confirmation. also to note, the house is very red, very conservative, so although it is concerned -- confirmed the republicans probably feel pretty good. >> martha: there have been some poaching again, matt gaetz, up in upstate new york, mike walz who will be the national security advisor. all all of this house chiefs in this very tight margin are now going to be up for grabs. you seem to feel that for that seat will stay red your thoughts on even mike johnston you heard earlier, speaker of the house sort of giving away some pushback, but i do know, maybe he would not mind. [chuckling] because he has been an agitator to say in the house of representatives. >> it is true, you has been one of the ones, but think about what this does, how much political powers this is giving to governor ron desantis down there. a senate seat obviously if m

not only to clean up the mess left by the biden-harris-schumer agenda but also to deliver on president trump's priorities. we will make sure the president and his team have the tools and support they need to enforce or security laws and remove the criminals who are wreaking havoc in every one of our states. we will work to make america prosperous again by streamlining the bureaucratic machine and overturning costly biden-harris regulations. we will work to restore american energy dominance. not just our energy security but energy dominance which will lower costs and bolster our national security. i'm excited to get to work with this team right away and i want to thank my colleagues who place their faith in me to serve as leader and those who are supporting another candidate, i promise to be a leader that serves the entire republican conference. we will have an ambitious agenda and will take each and every republican working together to be successful. with that, i want to turn things over to senator john barrasso, the newly elected republican whip. >> on election night, america saw the remaking

for revenue and negotiating. >> right, cheryl reaction >> well, remember those trifrs that president trump in place first time a lot of these president biden kept in place. so tariffs can be effective that is why many corporations are saying you know what? time to get out of china we talked about steve matterin last week i get what with fiscal hawks are saying under biden, reminder everybody u.s. trade deficit is 27% higher than, 20, 20% federal debt increased 31% under biden i understood concern about spending but kamala harris would have tan corporate tax rate to 28% is now staying at 1% might get lowered, not just corporations but small american companies if they do all business in the united states that is growth that is jobs, that could help offset, some state and local taxes companies get burned with gentleman want to change salt as well mike reaction. >> every time there has been a massive tax cut revenues increased, you are taking a smaller piece of bigger pie, and, just watch out for these budget watchdogs especially the ones that are nonpartisan because the republican players alw

wanted to ask ou trump president to... wanted to ask you what _ trump president to...you what world you - trump president to. .. wanted to ask you what world you think- ask you what world you think the us politics in this? will be see anything getting done and this in turn time, what they call lame—duck presidency —— interim time? they call lame-duck presidency -- interim time?— -- interim time? you would think this — -- interim time? you would think this is _ -- interim time? you would think this is a _ -- interim time? you would think this is a very - -- interim time? you would think this is a very small - think this is a very small window of opportunity that the biden administration would take advantage of, but i think given how the is really right has been very much empowered by the election of president—elect trump, it's very unlikely that we will see any kind of cease—fire talks moving forward, whether it's in gaza or lebanon. so, we are hearing mixed messages because israeli officials are saying we want to hand trump a victory, but others are noting that we've t

they had, you know, efforts to the kill president trump -- to kill president trump and yet no responseden administration. i was told that, in fact, is an act of war. again, he didn't respond to it until just a few weeks ago. >> yeah. right now is, i think in my opinion, the most dangerous time, the sort of lame duck period where the president is not acting in the capability that needs to defend this nation. and what we need to do is have our leaders of the agencies and departments that were confirmed by the senate show up and do their job and tell the senate and the house of representatives these are our failures, these are our weaknesses, we need help, we need you to respond the in this time of need. and to they hads guys not showing up to the hill -- those guys not showing up to the hill shows us what danger we're in. we know what president trump's going to do, but he's 544 days away from taking the oath of office -- 544. we need the united states of america to remind those department and agency leaders to remind us the mandate they were given was to protect our borders, to the end t

it is more favorable for trump presidency. elieve the same thing applies for the house as well? it is a more gop trump centric house as it stands right now? >> there is a very trump focused gop in the house. i did analysis in the election. over 100 republicans who objected, they are running for re-election to the house, another term. that just tells you how much of trump's allies are in the chamber and that is the bare minimum. >> it is an interesting point that you raised earlier. in the last go of the trump presidency, there were republicans that did not support his agenda. in this case, we are looking at a very different makeup of those members of congress. if the house is red, does that make a major difference for trump's ability, or if it is a blue house, will that be enough to put some guardrails on a full trump agenda being enacted? >> that is a fascinating thing. democrats had held on there, it would be a major way to change what trump would have done. >> we did hear mitch mcconnell talk about how the filibuster will st

did not afford to president biden when he won the race. trumpput up a lot of roadblocks in the transition process and also never conceded the race and hosted him at the white house. president biden is trying to go back to a sense of normalcy and tradition as he is showing he is committed to the transition process. in 2016 then the president obama had welcomed him as well. we also know that the white house had extended the invitation to melania trump to visit as well. it is on clear how soon it could happen but this is part of the efforts to try to show they are committed to the transition. that is what a lot of the focus will be in the months to come. i will also note later this week, the day after biden meets with trump, president biden will be departing for a pair of summits in south america. he will be stopping at the apex summit in peru followed by the g 20 in brazil. he will be meeting with many of the world leaders who are grappling with the looming trump presidency as they are trying to figure out how they will be working with trump. it w

why is it that donald trump may be - president biden. that donald trump may be able to | president biden. why is it that l donald trump may be able to do something that has eluded joe biden? i think president biden spoke softly and carried a big aircraft carrier. i think president trump speaks a different language. he is all about success. he's actually singing from the same song sheet as prime minister netanyahu which is echoing ronald reagan which is peace through strength. there's something about that muscular attitude that you've seen leaders around the world snapping to attention. it has been quite remarkable. how people who are his foes, whether it is china or russia or even iran, i think there has been a bit of groveling out there and i don't has been a bit of groveling out there and i don hezbollah and he cease—fire with hezbollah and he spoke to the palestinian authority leader as well. so he clearly has what he would call skin in the game to end this crisis and end the war and i do think netanyahu will pay attention to that if

donald trump was a _ changing presidents. donald trump was a regular- changing presidents. nald trump was a regular critic i changing presidents. donald i trump was a regular critic when it came to institutions like the imf, world bank and wto. how do you see these kinds of international discussions and international institutions faring under the next trump presidency. we may see more of what we saw in those four years when trump continues to go in a different direction, looking through bilateral relations, not really engaging in these international organisations and even causing more harm to these things like the wto appellate body which will further erode some of these international institutions that countries have spent so long to build up. we have been reporting on the appointments to his cabinet coming into force injanuary the latest one he has chosen brendan carr to lead the federal communications division, the sec is a government agency regulating government agency regulating government broadcast and online communications, he is currently the senior republican on the

trump is not the best american president of our lifetime. he had a good economy. but the full scope of trump's economic management, when you include the pandemic, he's nowhere close. >> you look at the tax cuts and say we saw positive outcomes from them, i think his critics would say they were not good policies for the country. >> most americans got a tax cut. but most of the tax cuts went to the highest-earning americans. he said he did the biggest tax cut of all time. he didn't. he said he was going to bring back millions of american manufacturing jobs that had been sent overseas. he did not. trump campaigned on a promise, not just that he would balance the federal budget but also he would pay off the entire national debt, which he came nowhere close to doing. i don't think there's any evidence to support the idea the trump economy was the greatest economy in history, and it's probably not the greatest economy in most americans' living memory. >> coming up. >> donald trump said, when he was president, that he would sign a national abortion ban. what he's done is
