Mr. Garrison, good morning.

Hey, good morning.
► 00:00:59
Thank you for having me.
► 00:01:00
First of all, for those who may not be in the know, exactly where are you in perspective to the White House?
► 00:01:05
Yeah, right on the front lawn of the White House on a cold morning over here.
► 00:01:10
It's the first morning of Trump 2.0.
► 00:01:14
And as you can see, you got the White House there behind me.
► 00:01:16
What's the agenda for this first full day?
► 00:01:19
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.
► 00:01:27
And they're going to really start laying out their plans for the long-discussed reconciliation package.
► 00:01:36
There's been, of course, a debate whether to have this in two different bills or one bill.
► 00:01:41
This is going to have the various tax policies proposed by Trump.
► 00:01:46
That includes, of course, continuing the Trump tax cuts from 2017.
► 00:01:53
And there's also going to, you know, in 52 days, the funding of the government runs out.
► 00:01:57
They're going to have to hash out an agreement on how to proceed from there.
► 00:02:01
Another topic of discussion is also the federal aid for the wildfires in California.
► 00:02:07
President Trump is going to be going to California to survey wildfire damage on Friday.
► 00:02:12
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?
► 00:02:22
What is the perspective of the House and Senate currently?
► 00:02:25
Well, President Trump wants to have this all in one big package, one bill.
► 00:02:28
But in the Senate, Senate Republicans have talked more of a two piece of legislation track.
► 00:02:34
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.
► 00:02:42
That's going to be all part of what's discussed today here in the White House.
