I don't think any other unelected person has ever had in American history. | |
| So, you know, there was this debate for years about Trump. | ||
| Oh, do you take him seriously? | ||
| Do you take him literally? | ||
| Is it both? | ||
| I remember in November, December of 2020, when Trump kept talking about disputing the election results, saying it was a rigged election and doing something about it. | ||
| I would have Republicans say to me, oh, you know, he'll come around. | ||
| Don't take that serious. | ||
| Don't take that literally. | ||
| Well, then we saw what happened on January 6th. | ||
| So I think it would be a great mistake to dismiss out of hand what Elon Musk is saying. | ||
| I think anytime the richest person in the world, this unelected person who sometimes seems like he's the one running the White House, someone with that much wealth who's in that kind of a position, we have to pay attention to what he's saying, as ridiculous as it may sound. | ||
| Yeah, he's been described as almost like a presidential spouse. | ||

Boy, I am not going to comment on that in any way. | |
| He did say, I love Donald Trump as much as a man can love another man. | ||
| Something along the way. | ||

Welcome to C-SPAN after dark. | |
| And that's why you come here. | ||
| Thank you so much for your time, Congressman. | ||

Thank you. | |
| Thank you all. | ||
| Before we get to our topic this morning and our conversation with all of you, I want to give you an update on President Trump's cabinet and momentum on Capitol Hill. | ||
| Yesterday, RFK Jr. was approved by the Senate 52 to 48, largely along party lines, with Senator Mitch McConnell joining Democrats in opposition to Mr. Kennedy. | ||
| He was then sworn in at the White House later by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, with President Trump overlooking. | ||
| Also in the Senate, Brooke Collins confirmed on Thursday to lead the Agriculture Department by a vote of 72 to 28, including 19 Democrats in support. | ||
| Kash Patel, President Trump's pick to be the director of the FBI, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 12 to 10, excuse me, along party lines to proceed with the confirmation for Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's nominee for the FBI director. | ||
| Lyndon McMahon, as we said, up on Capitol Hill yesterday for her confirmation hearing. | ||
| Before we get to what she told senators, though, listen to President Trump just one day before she was in the hot seat testifying. | ||

We're going to leave this to take you live to Capitol Hill, where the House is gaveling in for a brief session. | |
| No debate or votes are expected today. |
