this is what joni ernst had to say.ulture is cancel culture no matter how you look at it. there's those trying to silence others in the party. what do you say? >> you're not entitled to be a leader. you have to earn that right. if people don't think you're leading them well, they can fire you. i like liz cheney. i adore joni. everybody should have their say. when you become a leader of a conference, you need to have the confidence of the people you're leading. to me liz has lost that. she's going to lose tomorrow. why? not because she voted to impeach the president. she was re-elected overwhelmingly when they tried to get rid of her a few months ago. what has happened, she's trying to make the argument that the republican party is better off without donald trump, that he's disqualified from being a member of the republican party, that he should never be allowed to pursue office again. i disagree with that. most house republicans disagree with that. so when you're a leader and people lose confidence in you, you can be fi

. >> you and senator joni ernst are working together on this bill, working on it a long time. need and jack reed said he would include a similar plan but when you tried to bring up your bill that would pass that has 60 votes he blocked it, because, frankly, he supports a more narrow version, doesn't support your legislation. do you think majority leader chuck schumer, your new york colleague, should bring it up for a vote now? >> i believe we should have a vote now. it is a hallmark bill, a generational bill of shifting how we address military justice, how we build the military justice system that's worthy of the sacrifice our men and women in the military make. this memorial day weekend there is no better time to talk about the sacrifice the men and women in our armed services have made for us. what this bill does is instead of having the current process where after a sexual assault or other serious crime is committed, the commander will look at the investigation report and decide whether or not it goes to trial. unfortunately, under that current method, we have seen enormous

joni ernst pulled it off in front of the reporters and freedom, happy about this moment and it underscores's frustrations. susan collins made clear in a hearing earlier this week, to cdc director rochelle walensky she had lost faith in the cdc because they hadn't revised the guidance and now they have. >> elizabeth cohen, you heard dr. fauci tell me he believes vaccinated americans can do things like shop for groceries without a mask. do you expect stores, restaurants rushing to get rid of any mask mandates? >> i think they might. i think customers are going to start demanding it so i wouldn't be surprised to see that happening. i'm in new york, and people are good about wearing masks here. i would say in other parts of the country, for example, i was in georgia they have already taken off masks. so i think we want -- you know, this is such a big day but we should keep in mind, in many parts of the country they were already taking off masks so the cdc advice is sort of catching up if you want to think about it that way to what many people in the rest of the country already doing. >> tell u

alongside congressman chris pappas and senator maggie hassan, as well as my fellow iowan senator, joni ernst, who is a combat veteran and sexual assault survivor herself. last year a report exposed disturbing failures at the u.s. department of veterans affairs to handle sexual harassment and discrimination at the agency properly. the report also revealed that between 18% and 27% of v.a. employees experienced some form of sexual harassment at work between 2014 and 2016. this is you unacceptable. this bipartisan, bicameral about will i am prove the way sexual harassment is handled at the v.a. and crack down on instances of harassment and discrimination within the department. nobody should feel unsafe at work. the care v.a. employees provide for our veterans is absolutely critical. but they cannot provide that best care, the care our veterans deserve, if they are suffering in a hostile work environment. not only is this an accountability and workplace safety issue, it is a disservice to our veterans who rely on the v.a. for high quality care. and a disservice to taxpayers who fund the departmen
