Hey, good morning. | |
| Thank you for having me. | ||
| First of all, for those who may not be in the know, exactly where are you in perspective to the White House? | ||
|

|
Yeah, right on the front lawn of the White House on a cold morning over here. | |
| It's the first morning of Trump 2.0. | ||
| And as you can see, you got the White House there behind me. | ||
| What's the agenda for this first full day? | ||
|

|
Well, the big thing today is Trump is going to be welcoming to the White House House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate leader John Thune. | |
| And they're going to really start laying out their plans for the long-discussed reconciliation package. | ||
| There's been, of course, a debate whether to have this in two different bills or one bill. | ||
| This is going to have the various tax policies proposed by Trump. | ||
| That includes, of course, continuing the Trump tax cuts from 2017. | ||
| And there's also going to, you know, in 52 days, the funding of the government runs out. | ||
| They're going to have to hash out an agreement on how to proceed from there. | ||
| Another topic of discussion is also the federal aid for the wildfires in California. | ||
| President Trump is going to be going to California to survey wildfire damage on Friday. | ||
| When it comes to the House and the Senate, how in agreement are, Mr. What's the President's preference as far as how reconciliation take place? | ||
| What is the perspective of the House and Senate currently? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, President Trump wants to have this all in one big package, one bill. | |
| But in the Senate, Senate Republicans have talked more of a two piece of legislation track. | ||
| Johnson is going to be more on board with the one bill approach to this, but it remains to be seen how they're going to move forward. | ||
| That's going to be all part of what's discussed today here in the White House. | ||
| We've been showing our viewers at home several executive orders that were signed from inside the Oval Office. |
