lucy and scott, thank you once more. let's i scott, thank you once more. let's turn our attention to us politics now. nikki haley, former south carolina governor and former ambassador to the un, has announced, or should i say reannounced, her bid to be the republican candidate for president in 2024. yesterday she released a video announcing her bid. today she held a rally on home turf, in charleston, telling the crowd economy, education, immigration and tackling crime were among her priorities. she neglected to mention herformer boss, donald trump, and had this to say about the current president, joe biden. from joe biden on down, our leaders put too much trust in big government and too little trust in the american people. they have us spiralling toward socialism with a new trillion dollar spending bill every few months, and a national debt over $30 trillion. this is not the american that called to my parents. and make no mistake, this is not the america i will leave to my children. anthony zurcher is at nikki haley's rally in charleston. anthony, talk me

look at what scott did. he had to cut and run on this particular issue but now, what you see is scott is trying to sort of take away that victory in the white house is saying we don't care that he now no longer says or has this exception for medicare and social security. we're still going to proceed with hammering on this because he did at one time propose this and he's owning up to the fact that he did not have this exception. so just the fact that scott is now reversing course, pamela, does not mean we're going to stop hearing democrats from trying to paint republicans with a broad brush on this issue. >> right. imajority leader chuck schumer is posting a link saying when people show you who they are, believe them the first time. i mean, like we just heard from david, manu, it's safe to say we haven't heard the end of democrats' criticism to the plan. >> it's how the parties dealt with the issue of entitlement over the last several election cycles. republicans recognizing it's not a political win tore deal

scott, i'll start with you. are republicans going to say what they're willing to cut if they've taken defense spending and social security and medicare off the table. >> this is one of mccarthy's big challenges. inside the republican conference there is disagreement about how to trim the sails. that's his first big leadership challenge get a unified message on where spending should be cut. what kind of cap should exist and there is going to be some debate i think internally in our party about defense spending. some want cap, some wants cuts so kevin mccarthy has a real challenge on his hands, but i have been surprised, pleasantly surprised with how he's able to unify people so far on various issues. i have some -- i have some optimism he can get us there on a unified plan because it's hard to negotiate if you don't have a unified plan. >> christy, i want to ask, democrats from a political perspective, should they come to the table on spending cuts this year? >> look, i think we're going to enjoy watching republi

what scott? i what do you think about scott? i mean, over 45,000 migrants came to britain last year on small boats, right? that's massive increase on the year before . and increase on the year before. and wherever stand on this wherever you stand on this issue, vote issue, it's obviously not a vote winner government can winner unless the government can get some sort of semblance of control this. and you agree get some sort of semblance of contrthat. this. and you agree get some sort of semblance of contrthat. i this. and you agree get some sort of semblance of contrthat. i this. thei you agree get some sort of semblance of contrthat. i this. the ones agree get some sort of semblance of contrthat. i this. the ones who; with that. i want the ones who good tellers stay good joke tellers to stay out because taking work. yes because they're taking work. yes if albanian, come if they're albanian, they come over nice wine with over and they nice wine with them. i don't know if that's the case. saying if they case. so just saying if the

what scott? i what do you think about scott? i mean, over 45,000 migrants came to britain last year on small boats, right? that's massive increase on the year before . and increase on the year before. and wherever stand on this wherever you stand on this issue, vote issue, it's obviously not a vote winner the government can winner unless the government can get some sort of semblance of control and you agree control over this. and you agree with ones who with that. i want the ones who good tellers out good joke tellers to stay out because work. yes because they're taking work. yes if albanian, come if they're albanian, they come over nice wine with over and they nice wine with them. i don't know if that's the case. so saying if they case. so just saying if they bnng case. so just saying if they bring bring bring something, they bring a gift , us better. gift to, make us feel better. you know, the british like break off. it's come down. me off. it's not come down. me well, a country . yeah, but well, it's a country. yeah, but you

this isn't just about rick scott. this is the republican party that will have to deal with this now that they are in charge of the house. the house ideological leader, jim jordan, called for a similar kind of thing here. 70% of americans oppose these cuts. one of the biggest testing lines from the biden speech in focus groups i saw was him saying, social security and medicare should be off the table. in the middle of the presidential election cycle that is kicking off, this is a real problem. i agree with doug. to have the republicans fighting with each other is just an absolute win for the democrats. it sets it up to be exactly what joe biden wants, which is the next two years having the republicans continue to propose this, which they will in their next budget, and have him just go straight at it with these swing voters. >> eugene, that's not to say joe biden has no problems. recent polling shows democrats are less excited about biden running for re-election. the big concern among many is that he is just too old. th

scott: there is vitriolic election to nihilism through america. we see it manifesting in washington, d.c. about a mile from the capital where there are number of january 6 defendants held awaiting trial. our rallies there every night, there are supporters, and some fenton's speaking with members of congress trying to get hearings and investigations to hear what they characterize is department of justice overreach or mistreatment of the defendants in jail, but they now have her platform, i'm at -- a republican majority with members who want to have hearings. you have a candidate in the race who continues to deny the 2020 election results, has made that the forefront of his messaging and now you have other contenders who will have to answer the question, was the election legitimate and is president biden the duly elected u.s. president and i'm not sure what they are going to answer. zolan: i thought that was also an interesting finding of the limited report from the grand jury and georgia, just the fact that they did not think the election was fraud

rick scott proposed it. now, all the republicans that booed him and called him a liar, that's not accurate. rick scott did propose it. did the truth is what mcconnell said, rick scott proposed it but most republicans have distanced themselves from it quite a bit. >> mcconnell is like, owe're th leaders of the party in our representative chambers. we are against this. i think it's important to note that. we heard republicans say that. i will say, you know, to be fair to rick scott, his senior advisor to him in responding to mcconnell said rick scott knows how to win florida a hell of a lot better than mitch mcconnell does. they can keep parroting democratic lies. he won't stop fighting for democratic principles. he is standing by this plan. when i asked him if it was a mistake he said, no, he didn't think it was a mistake to propose it. more importantly, jake, you have a very important -- >> who knows how to win on sunday, right? >> who are you rooting for? >> the green tie. i don't know. we can't tell. >> so

scott: hey, cattle. hey, cattle. hey, cattle. come, girls. stephen: scott waldron has also lived and researched extensively in china. he's fluent in mandarin, and well-placed to analyze china's trade claims. scott: the trade barriers that china imposed on australia in 2020 are cases of economic coercion. and the intent is for china to change australian policy, including on issues of the south china sea, hong kong, xinjiang, huawei, and foreign interference. stephen: on his reading, the trade sanctions flowed from demands by china's communist party for retaliation against any perceived threats or criticism of china. scott: xi jinping has instructed china to resolutely defend agast any internal or external threat to the communist party, and so that so-called "battle stance" has become embedded within the party, within the ministry of foreign affairs, and its wolf warrior diplomacy, and down into economic units, including the ministry of commerce, the state administrations of customsnd quarantine. so, if you're a mid-level official in one of tho

senator rick scott of florida was particularly on the defensive, because it was scott, as head of the senate republican campaign effort in last year's midterms, who actually called for sunsetting all federal legislation every five years, which would include social security and medicare along with every other federal program. he made it part of his 11 point plan to, quote, rescue america. and then he kept trying to deny his position. >> the fact that the president is now using this as an attack line -- was it a mistake to propose this? >> no. first of, nobody believes that i want to cut medicare or social security. i have never said it. >> but today, barely a week after that interview, senator rick scott amended that very same budget cutting plan to exclude social security, medicare and other essential services. why amended if there is nothing wrong with it in the first place? as the white house press secretary noted today -- >> the president congratulates senator scott on joining the post state of the unit red wave as we have seen for republicans, acknowledging that they are in fact -

scott: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. scott: mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to h.j.res. 30, a congressional review act resolution of disapproval to nullify a popular and sensible rule issued by the biden-harris administration last year. workers should be able to invest their retirement savings in a way that reflects their values such as combating climate change without sacrificing investment returns. that's why the biden-harris administration issued a rule to clarify that retirement plan beneficiaries may consider the economic effects of climate change and other environmental, social, and governance factors or e.s.g. factors, when they make investment decisions for participants in retirement plans. be clear, this rule is not an e.s.g. mandate. additionally, the rule does not change a fiduciary standard to which professionals who make investment decisions for retirement plans abound. they must still prioritize t

that was the rick scott plan. the republican plan, as i pointed out last fall, if we were to become the majority there were no plans to raise taxes on half the american people or to sunset medicare or social security. so it's clearly the rick scott plan. it is not the republican plan. >> with me now nbc's julie tsirkin on capitol hill. brendan buck is back with me as well. i saw a tweet that i thought characterized the unusual nature of what mcconnell said. i'm going to quote it here. mcconnell hates losing, he wants to regain the senate majority. every seat matters in 2024, so for him to say something damaging about scott in his own re-election bid underscores just how much he loathes him and blames him for their losses in 2022. what do you see going on here? >> reporter: this is incredible personal drama that you don't usually see in the senate, and these two have been going at each other for a while now. as mcconnell referenced there, rick scott put out this plan last year, and it caused the uproar, and mitch m

senator scott said it was something that would be re-upped. president biden responded it would likely get cut drastically if you had to re-up it every five years. republicans have come up against president biden and brought up his own past. a tit for tat bringing up past statements about medicare and social security. biden only has to go back a few years or months. republicans now are going all the way back to the '70s, right? >> they have unearthed a clip talking about entitlement reform, where he talks about overhauling these programs. this is part of the problem for someone like joe biden who has such a lengthy career in public service, especially on the level that he has been on as a member of the senate where every move you make on the senate floor is video taped and then held for prosperity and posterity, i should say, and this is an example of that. now, biden would argue that was an argument he was making 30 years ago about a specific policy proposal and debate at that specific time, but that's the same argument that mike lee is making

that was the rick scott plan. there were no plans to raise taxes on half the american people or to sunset medicare or social security. it's just a bad idea. i think it will be a challenge for him to deal with this in his own reelection in florida, which has more elderly people than any other state in america. >> a challenge in his own reelection in florida. mcconnell could have just not said anything. he could've said joe biden was lying or exaggerating. instead he called rick scott out by name, saying was a bad idea and hung amount to dry. the core of conflict here, when you take a step back, the reason you're seeing this, trump and desantis house republican caucus announced gotten mcconnell, they're all fighting each other. is it when it comes down to it, what do they stand for? what do you want to do, guys? what's your deal? what's your agenda? getting rid of the most significant social insurance programs of the 20th century is not popular, but it has been a sheer goal for many people inside the conservative mo

while rick scott is in an election cycle himself. and then secondly, there had been this narrative that democrats were not going to compete in florida in 2024. this might be the gift that gives them the opportunity to compete. >> and iman meroz, jump in here, in wisconsin, the president talked about so many things. one of the things he asked about, whether his age is a concern to voters in all of the polls, whether his age could be a factor in next year's election. >> every indication, you're running for re-election, you'd be 82 the day of the next election, 86 if you're successful and elected and finish that term. does that give you any concern? >> watch me. that's all i can say. >> it sounds like you're running. >> i've made that decision, it's my intention, but i haven't made that decision. >> and we saw governor huckabee sanders leaning into that in her remarks rebutting the president's speech. >> that's right, andrea, that republican response from governor sarah huckabee sanders, it was ted poll, the youngest serving governor, s

. >> thank you president scott. roll call- [roll call] with that, we have quorum. >> we now have a quorum and i would like to claim the privilege of the chair to make some adjustments in today's agenda. we are going to have-it is rather lengthy agenda. we have two closed sessions attached to it, and there will be multiple presentations, so i'm going to ask everyone cooperate as much as possible in terms of observing the time that we have allotted for this meeting. in that, another commission comes in here at about 4:30 to 5 o'clock and we need to clear the room, and we don't want to co-join the missions in san francisco ever, so we have to keep our business separate and allow them to come into this room. so, with that, the following modifications to the agenda will be made. item 9, demographic report will be incorporated into the director's report. and then for the closed session, we have one closed session that will be considering the evaluation of the executive director and one for a member appeal, and those items

rick scott gets talked about this which is good for rick scott. and mitch mcconnell would like for him to quietly sit back at his desk. >> i want to read what scott said back. if we're going to mcconnell rip scott. he's always backed up biden, so this is what he's doing, backing up biden again and doesn't believe we ought to have a plan. it seems as if this will help the white house continue to continue to find a wedge. >> absolutely. rick scott is a gift to the white house, and a thorn in the side of mcconnell that wants to win back the majority. so this feud between mcconnell and scott goes back to the last election cycle. mcconnell blames rick scott for being minority leader and not majority leader. this issue of assist and medicare is not going to go away. biden said, we're all in agreement now. but no. it's never not been an issue in a campaign season. and it's going to be an issue this time. it's going to play into 2420. and guess what. there's actually a bipartisan working group right now -- i interviewed kyrsten sinema this week, she's a p

senator scott's not the only one. senator johnson of wisconsin, his own party planned, he laid out social security should be on the chopping block every year. but, look, in his case, as i said, he wants to do it every single year. let's remember what this is all about. some of you are on social security or your parents or grandparents are. you earned it. you earned every single penny and you paid into every paycheck you've ever got, from the time you were a teenager, you had money taken out for these programs. there are more than government programs. they're a promise we made. work hard and contribute and when the time comes for you to retire, we'll be there for you to help you out. generations of americans have counted on it, and it works. the number of seniors living in poverty has plummeted since social security has been created. and now these guys want to cut it. i don't get it. i really don't. i don't know who they think they are. we saw on tuesday night republicans don't like me being called out on this. they we

scott: i'm tim scott. amna: scott, who was first appointed to the senate by haley 10 years ago, also found himself in the palmetto state spotlight. sen. scott: the story of america is not defined by our original sin. the story of america is defined by our redemption. amna: delivering a black history month speech to the charleston republican party last night. and testing themes that could be part of an eventual presidential campaign. sen. scott: listen, i understand being trted as a second-class citizen because of the color of my skin. i refuse, i refuse to be treated as a second-class citizen because of the color of my party. i'm not playing that game twice. am: haley ended her first week as a candidate in new hampshire, but she and scott will cross pathagain soonn another early gop contest state, with both of them planning trips to iowa next week. for a closer look at the 2024 race, amy walter of the cook political report with amy walter is in south carolina and was at both nikki haley and tim scott's spe

listen to this. >> tim scott, black tim scott, right? 'cuz there are two scotts, and i don't know how to differentiate them without a picture. >> right. >> tim scott is black, right? okay. he's about to run, announced he's running. they're going to be coming out of the woodwork. so don't just settle. ashley: i mean, what is he going on about? senator tim responded in a tweet writing: to clear up any confusion, whoopi, despite@scott for florida and i sporting similar hair styles and representing the south, we are two different people. you should get to know me. look, we never look to whoopi gold berg for invicive insight, but -- decisive insight, but what is going on in why the mix-up with whoopi. >> well, i'm a big fan of tim scott not just because we happen to share the same hairdo, but because he's a great free marketeer. if you're a black conservative, the chem the9 accurates won't -- democrats will attack you as a sellout, uncle tom, etc. i think the ugliest thing i ever heard said about tim scott was one of the anchors on msnbc who

south carolina senator tim scott. >> m y story is the american story. >> and scott's story could soon include running for president. >> i am running for president of the united states of america. >> fellow south carolinian, former governor nikki haley, already is. these republicans in the palmetto state are enjoying the attention. >> and we would definitely were a trump state and i think people still have a great deal of feeling for him, but then there's nikki. she decided she's going to run and there's a lot of passion for her, too. >> larry is a republican county member. >> both are legitimate contenders and you could imagine either being president. >> indeed, a number of republicans we talked to here are ready to commit to one of their fellow south carolinians. >> i love tim scott. i just feel like he's got our best interests at heart. >> that's true. >> but not necessarily on the top of the ticket. >> if you could set your own ticket, who would you vote for for president? >> did he santos and haley will be vice president or desantis and tim scott. >> i think the one electable is d

error on rick scott's part. just watch some of the interviews rick scott is giving around this. he clearly, and you can pick it up behind the scenes when you talk to people close to both these men. this fight between the two of them is personal. it is nasty. it is angry. mcconnell and his team think that rick scott is hurting the overall prospects of the party. i think that's why he put it the way he did saying this is just rick scott's plan, it's not the republican plan. i'm in charge of the republican party. by all intents and purposes he is right now in washington. and rick scott's people keep trying this and keep taking shots at mcconnell. this is not the first time that this has happened. i kind of wonder what might be -- at what point they get the message that, hey, this isn't really going over very well but so far not so much. >> well, i think part of the problem is the republican party is nominating candidates at the highest level around the country, we saw in '22, every senate candidate in every major c

eye has gone scott . apparently gone wrong, scott. apparently from what i can grasp for this article, i have very little of the bard working. it's an ai program that google said is in need of rigorous testing , and need of rigorous testing, and these programs are meant to out text like answers to questions that we have, but there's not a lot of online to form answers that are appropriate. they enough time to develop these programs. i think they're at students who have questions that they themselves and so the stock on these companies falling because they their solution onto the market and i and that's how terminator start it don't rush it yeah yeah let it let it breathe slowly i mean it's a it's a big deal. i mean, it's a massive impact. percent of their loss of value. yeah. that's 100 loss of value. yeah. that's1oo trying to do to released to the pubuc trying to do to released to the public too quickly and they're trying to build finance for this to back it more to fast they should have invested more of their in it, giving their own

that was the rick scott plan. the republican plan as i pointed out last fall, if we were to become the majority, there were no plans to raise taxes on half the american people or to sunset medicare or social security. so it's clearly the rick scott plan, it is not the republican plan. and that's the view of the speaker of the house as well. i think we're in a more authoritative position to say what the position of the party is than any single senator. >> so rick scott's really not back in the fold after he ran against you for leadership. >> well, it doesn't have anything to do with that. this is a bad idea. i think it will be a challenge for him to deal with this as the re-election in florida. >> no love lost there. the florida senator did address his plan in an interview yesterday claiming his idea is to look at all government funded programs not just social security and medicare. he also addressed his frustrations with mcconnell. >> well, he just kicked him off the committee so i mean that was pretty petty. i've

well scott bomboy. let's go back to the 1880s. why do you keep referring to that as a very significant period where there's certain laws happening where there are certain senators or groups who were very effective in using the filibuster tactics? well after reconstruction and essentially with the 1877 elections and really in the 1880s and 1890s. there was a concerted effort to block some of the legislation especially that was related to the jim crow era a famous example in 1890 would have been the election or force bill and that election or force bill would allowed federal troops to monitor elections to make sure black voters could vote and it was really the southern block of the senate that blocked that with some several allies and it was a very effective tactic they could essentially run the clock out. toward the end of a short-term of congress and do differentilatory tactics to the block legislation where there was a 50% there are enough people in the house. it's the senate to approve it, but they could not get past a filibuste

not only did biden name check rick scott today, he even held up a pamphlet from senator scott and read directly from the lines that he said show senator scott and potentially other republicans support sunsetting medicare and social security, and went further referring to senator ron johnson, also from wisconsin, of course, where the president is speaking today to make that point, and then you now know president biden is an avid watcher of "morning joe." he referred to a clip about mike lee uprooting social security. clearly delighting in that exchange and building on that. i want to talk about the key economic framing for president biden, that's going to be a core part of the reelection campaign moving forward. you can see behind me on stage, the union workers who are behind president biden on stage. you heard president biden last night talk about the forgotten american, the invisible americans those who feel like washington isn't working for them. the middle class voter that president biden has prided himself on. biden saying the kinds of jobs that are going to be created from his inf

well scott bomboy. let's go back to the 1880s. why do you keep referring to that as a very significant period where there's certain laws happening where there are certain senators or groups who were very effective in using the filibuster tactics? well after reconstruction and essentially with the 1877 elections and really in the 1880s and 1890s. there was a concerted effort to block some of the legislation especially that was related to the jim crow era a famous example in 1890 would have been the election or force bill and that election or force bill would allowed federal troops to monitor elections to make sure black voters could vote and it was really the southern block of the senate that blocked that with some several allies and it was a very effective tactic they could essentially run the clock out. toward the end of a short-term of congress and do differentilatory tactics to the block legislation where there was a 50% there are enough people in the house. it's the senate to approve it, but they could not get past a filibuste

this is senator scott's plan. it includes the line, quote, all federal legislation sunsets in five years, if a law is worth keeping congress can pass it again, unquote. president biden saying scott proposed sunsetting those programs. it's accurate. i'm not saying it's a bad idea or good idea. a lot of people think social security and medicare there does need to be discussions of cost savings. i'm saying it's an idea and one scott proposed. why is he denying he proposed it? >> well, it's deeply unpopular. this came out and people in his own party was heavily critical of it. including mcconnell which he challenged for a top slot, and been this point of an issue between republicans. they've been arguing about it. they thought it was unpopular, unwise to do that in an election year. they're worried it hurt them as we saw how republicans performed in the mid-term elections. one interesting point he made he was talking about something president biden did when he was senator biden back in the 1970s when he also suggested

think about this for a second, scott. we went into the fourth quarter maybe a month before, mid single digit earnings growth, % earnings growth at the beginning of the quarter by december 31st we were down to negative 3% earnings growth seeing one of the largest in-quarter revisions we've seen in quite some time and still weren't close to correct and still will end the quarter with around a 5% contraction for the fourth quarter and so the estimates are wildly off. they've come to probably a more realistic scenario for the first and second quarter but looking at high single digits for the back end probably -- well, not probably, again weigh magnitudes off and that's driven because the macro view is off. the street has settled into a view that 5% is the terminal rate and saying for some time it's likely 6% to 6.5% because we have 450 basis points behind us, unemployment hasn't been affected in the way that the fed would like to see in order to have some confidence. >> but that's like -- that's fed aggressive -- but i'm sorr

i'm scott wapner this make or break hour begins with stocks still searching for some stability and all eyes as usual on interest rates. nvidia shining bright in today's ma market does the company's solid outlook mean the tech trade has more room to run? we'll ask a top money manager that critical question today we begin with our talk of the tape why jamie dimon is not breaking out his recession playbook just yet even though he does say there is some, quote, scary stuff out there. so what that mean for where your money is headed for the trading days ahead? i want to start with dimon, economy is good now, a lot of uncertainty, he did talk about inflation taking a while to come down and he was asked by jim whether that meant higher for longer he said, yeah, still said chance for a soft landing what do you make of what he said >> i think this reflects what we're seeing within the data today, we're not falling off a cliff, we're not seeing this imminent slowdown, imminent recession meaning that a recession in the first half does seem off the table but that scary stuff in the future may mean

rick scott. role it. >> tim scott, black tim scott, there are two scotts and i don't know how to differentiate them. ashley: she needs new glasses. we have senator tim scott's response, and deroy murdoch. a high-speed pursuit resulted in the arrest of a 15-year-old smuggler from mexico and 7 migrants that fled on foot. griff dinkins has the story from mission, texas, next.

the scott plan. that's not a republican plan. that was the rick scott plan. the republican plan, as i pointed out last fall if we were to become the majority, there were no plans to raise taxes on the american people or to sunset medicare or social security. it's the rick scott plan. it is not the republican plan. that's the view of the speaker of the house as well. i think we're in a more authoritative position to say what the position of the party is than any single senator. >> so rick scott's not really back in the fold after he ran against you for leadership? >> well, this doesn't have anything to do with this. this is a bad idea. i think it will be a challenge for him to deal with this with his own election in florida, a state with more elderly people than any other state in america. >> to the point the president has been making now since the state of the union, and in two campaign stops where he's carrying around the rick scott plan with him, obviously using that as a political cudgel. it's goi
