Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) spoke with Jesse Watters over President Donald Trump's deportations and Democrats response: JESSE WATTERS: Senator Josh Hawley joins me now. Do you think some of your colleagues are going to maybe canceled their trips to El Salvador after what we have just heard about Garcia now? SENATOR JOSH HAWLEY: You know, Jesse I'm watching this in total disbelief. The Democrat party has officially hit moral rock bottom. They are so in love with criminal illegals that they would like to go and personally escort them into the country one at a time, which I guess I slightly prefer to Joe Biden's version which is to allow them 10,000 a day at a time but the whole thing is absurd and if these Democrats are so keen to take trips, I formally invite them to the state of Missouri where they can meet with the family of officer David Lee who was killed by a criminal illegal, or the family of 12-year-old Travis wolf who was mowed down by a criminal illegal, or the workers who have lost their jobs by

In 1996, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) criticzed the current policies toward China and U.S. jobs: REP. NANCY PELOSI: How far does China have to go? How much more repression? How big a trade deficit and loss of jobs for the American worker? And how much more dangerous proliferation has to exist before members of this House of Representatives will say, I will not endorse the status quo. As I mentioned, it's about jobs, proliferation, and human rights. And there are those who say we shouldn't link human rights and trade and proliferation and trade. I disagree. But if we just want to take up this issue on the basis of economics alone, indeed, China should not receive most favored nation status for several reasons that I'd like to go into now. I'd like to call the attention of our colleagues to this chart on the status quo that the business community is asking each and every one of you to each and every one of us to endorse today. Right now, we have a $34 billion trade deficit with China, the 1995 figure. It w

As President Trump finally unveils his global tariff plan — setting a baseline 10% tariff on all imported goods, with additional hikes apparently based on individual countries’ trade balances with the United States — economists like our guest Richard Wolff warn it will have grave economic effects on American consumers and lead to a recession. Wolff says the Trump administration’s tariff strategy is borne out of an ahistorical “notion of the United States as a victim” despite the fact that “we have been one of the greatest beneficiaries in the last 50 years of economic wealth, particularly for people at the top.” In response to the growing economic fortunes of the rest of the world and the associated decline in U.S. hegemony, Trump and his allies are “striking out at other people” in desperation and denial of an end to U.S. imperial dominance. “[It’s] not going to work,” says Wolff.

Heath and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on reforms being implemented at HHS and how it aligns with 'Make American Healthy Again:' Hey everybody, I'd like to share with you a paradox that I've encountered here in Washington, D.C. as the new secretary of HHS. Our department is filled, for the most part, with competent, conscientious public servants, and yet the agency has been inefficient as a whole. Over the past four years during the Biden administration, HHS's budget increased by 38 percent and its staffing increased by 17 percent, but all that money has failed to improve the health of Americans. In fact, the rate of chronic disease and cancer increased dramatically as our department has grown. Our lifespan has dropped, so Americans now live six years shorter than Europeans. We are the sickest nation in the world and we have the highest rate of chronic disease. The U.S. ranks last among 40 developed nations in terms of health, but we spend two to three times more per capita than tho

MSNBC's Ari Melber reports on President Trump's first cabinet meeting. Melber notes that Elon Musk was present despite him having no cabinet level position: ARI MELBER, MSNBC HOST: As a baseline, that is just what the cabinet meetings always look like. The president with his cabinet seated around the table for the cabinet meeting. Today, instead, you had an unelected billionaire filling or forcing his way into center stage, upstaging the actual cabinet, which defines a cabinet meeting, and then continuing on to make the case for these cuts to, remember, different agencies and departments led by the people chosen by the president, confirmed by the Senate, at the table. So this is the first time we've actually physically, visually seen it. And what Musk did today, now with that history, I will show you just a little bit, was mix in his non-cabinet perspective or opinion, if you want to call it that, on the cabinet Trump chose. That itself is odd because unlike these individuals who, whatever you think of

On MSNBC, 'The New York Times' Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker explains President Trump's views and negotiations to end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza: "I mean you're right empathy has never been his strong suite. That's not the way he rolls. He's not a Bill Clinton 'I feel your pain kind of guy.' He didn't during COVID. He hasn't really during a lot of these wars. Now he has talked about the devastation in both Gaza and Ukraine. He does sit there and talk pretty powerfully that he wants to stop the fighting in Ukraine, he wants to stop the dying in Ukraine. He says that's his number one goal. So he is expressing that sort of human concern."

Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) on CNN's 'The Lead,' defended the nomination of Kash Patel for FBI Director and criticzed the FBI's politicization under Christopher Wray: "What he was doing is exposing what he felt like was truth, and I don't think he was far off base. He also wanted to expose hypocrisy coming out of the FBI and exposed what Director Wray was doing, by weaponizing the FBI to go after political enemies. You've got to remember this is the same FBI that was going after Catholic Churches thinking they could be domestic terrorist organization. They were saying people that went after parents for going to school board meetings during COVID. This is an organization that should be mission focused on keeping all Americans safe. Not weaponize themselves after political foes by treating President Trump's classified documents completely different than what they treated Biden's classified documents. And no one can say they weren't classified documents either they are or they aren't. Why were they tr

Secretary of Transportation and IOP Pritzker Fellow Pete Buttigieg joined a panel for University of Chicago's Institute of Politics to discuss the recent election lose for Democrats: And we cannot go on like that. We cannot. I also think that we believe in the values that we care about for a reason. And this is not about abandoning those values. It's about making sure we're in touch with the first principles that animate them. What do we mean when we talk about diversity? Is it caring for people's different experiences and making sure no one is mistreated because of them, which I will always fight for? Or is it making people sit through a training that looks like something out of Portlandia, which I have also experienced. And it is how it is how Trump Republicans are made. If that comes to your workplace with the best of intentions but doesn't actually get at what we're what what actually matters here, what's actually at stake, I think and this might sound counterintuitive if we were more serious abo

Deputy Chief for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller on 'Hannity' talked about Democrats' protest against Donald Trump's policies and actions: SEAN HANNITY: All right. Consider this for a second. Democrats don't have to oppose everything that Donald Trump does. They could actually work with the president to improve the country. But instead today, they decided to hold a press conference and call `em, oh, whatever names of the day they wanted to call `em. Take a look. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) REP. AYANNA PRESSLEY (D-MA): Today, with Donald Trump and Republicans waging their coordinated and at times unlawful assault on Black folks and Black history, we will not allow that history to be erased. We will not allow it to be whitewashed. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Black excellence scares Donald Trump. It scares Stephen Miller, and it scares Elon Musk, because you know what? Deep down, they recognize their own mediocrity. And so they're doing everything they can to entrench the racial wealth gap. PR

On FOX News 'The Ingraham Angle,' GMU Law professor Jonathan Turley talked about Elon Musk's work and the response from Washington D.C. about his spending cuts: LAURA INGRAHAM: Joining me now, Jonathan Turley, George Washington University Law Prof. and Fox News Contributor. Jonathan, a constitutional crisis, because as a special government employee, Elon Musk and two young computer whizzes are actually finally doing what the government should have done a long time ago, which is a real audit of what they do with our money? JONATHAN TURLEY, GWU LAW PROFESSOR: No, it is an amazing reaction. You have people all over the beltway breathing in paper bags right now, because the idea that you could bring in these people and they're going to sort of think outside the box. That's what Musk is known for. He's known for someone who rejects past dependence. He did that at Twitter. You know, they said he couldn't fire all those people at Twitter. He did that, and Twitter became more efficient, and the operations conti

Microsoft founder Bill Gates joins CNN's Anderson Cooper and discusses Elon Musk's role in President Donald Trump's government: ANDERSON COOPER: We wanted to get a different perspective on the fight over the U.S. Agency for International Development or USAID, a program that dispenses billions in foreign aid. On Monday, Elon Musk said President Trump agreed with him that it needed to be shut down. Earlier, I spoke with Bill Gates, the Microsoft Founder, whose Gates Foundation is one of the largest charitable organizations in the world. We discussed Elon Musk and the funding fight. The interview is part of a book tour he is doing for memoir of his early years, 'Source Code: My Beginnings.' Well, let's start with Elon Musk. He has called USAID a criminal organization. He called it evil. He talked about it's a radical left political psyop. What -- to you, what is the importance of USAID and the U.S. giving aid to people in need around the world? BILL GATES, CHAIR, GATES FOUNDATION: Well, the USAID plays
