and what's driving that is the demand for enterprise sass and consumer sass and even pcs i mean, apple had the biggest device -- biggest mack book sales ever, and that was driven by the competitiveness of its silicon. >> wow so let's talk about next week. we have amazon we have alphabet we even have names like activision a bunch of others. the tech landscape you're describing sounds like it should give investors some reassurance that the fundamentals are still pretty strong, or am i putting it too broadly >> no. i think the only thing that amazon is a tech play on one side with the cloud arm. and it's a retailer on the other. so i can't necessarily speak for how it's retail division will do, but i believe its cloud division will do exceptional i think we've seen advertising as a market look really good so i'm expecting google to do well but i think the fear of the future if it's related to fundamentals of profit, i think are way overblown, and i think next week could be the big signal that tech is back >> so with all that said, and given how much of a reset we've seen from the highs, y

each of these nominees, steve, owen, jennifer sass, well-established leaders in their respective fields. each demonstrated deep commitment to making our country better safer and more livable place for all americans as i begin with president biden's nominee to serve as the general counsel of the epa. i met with him earlier this summer and was very impressed. i believe he is an outstanding pick to assist administrator reagan, leading epa and keeping its policies and programs consistent with the law, has dedicated 20 years of his distinct career to public service serving across multiple departments in the executive branch. at his hearing he demonstrated the kind of intelligence and poise and forthright commitment to epa's mission that will make him an outstanding general counsel. i'm proud to support his nomination entered colleagues to join me in reporting his nomination favorably to the senate. this morning we will vote on president biden's nominee to serve on chemical and hazard investigations. let me say a couple words about stephen owen son and sylvia johnson, each of these talented i

i think in sunken for ben sasse. i think good sunken for rodney and others. but there are others who are whistling past the graveyard. i think they really are dancing on the edge of overturning the american experiment. and i don't understand their justification. on a human level, on a moral level, to stay in office in the united states senate is the greatest honor of my life. nothing is worth that. and why be in the united states as a senator if you're going to be a party to overturning democracy itself? a lot of these people run for office. they run for mayor or secretary of state, lieutenant governor. the auction wanted to help their community. another sitting there all privately telling us, this guy is insane. this guy is an autocrat. but if it is not me in office is going to be someone even crazier than me. and that is why i come to the very sad conclusion that the republican party is no longer committed to american style democracy. there are individual republicans still remain committed to american salty moxie but donald trump is the indisputable leader

jennifer sass. csb plays a critical role in analyzing why industrial accidents occur and how we can work in a technical and unbiased manner. criticism of the chemical industry included driving the epa for engaging with american chemistry counsel about implementing the toxic substance control act in a transparent manner. i was troubled by her attempt to conceal that attack and other statements after the hearing. she took down her entire twitter page. this knee-jerk reaction when confronted with hard questions shows she's not the right person committed to board for transparency i can't support jeffrey prieto to serve as general counsel of the epa. the direction the bannister is taking on matters it is combined with his refusal to condemn overreaching regulations means i must oppose his nomination at the nomination at this time for this administration hasin announced plans in the environmental policy area once that i think could cause major damage to our economy and energy sectors. mr. chairman file ma

senator sasse said a train wreck.e will be talking about the domestic political fallout from this for a long time. i think dump below 30% as a result. gave the green light to vladimir putin to have incursion of some sort. so president biden thoroughly abandoned ukrainian allies as he did our afghanistan allies in august and september. it is on a par with a speech that not many people remember dean acheson in 1950 did not include korea in our world of security perimeter and the north koreans invaded the south koreans. it's legendary mistake. i think this press conference is going to go down in national security infamy for that wildly phrased invitation of vladimir putin to come on down and take part of ukraine. >> bret: leslie, there were about three different bites of the app. pell to go back at that and kind of clarify it. what did you take from the news conference? >> i'm not going to lie i cringed when i heard it depends small invasion or large invasion. obviously there should be no invasion. let's make no mistake,

ben sass did a monologue about how awesome it is to shovel your neighbor's driveway when it snows.n. i wonder a year later do you feel it has sunk into the body? >> no. i think it sunk in for many of us, ben sass, mitt romney and others but others are whistling past the grave yard. really dancing on the edge of overturning the american experiment. i don't understand their justification. on a human level, on a moral level. to stay in office in the united states senate it is the greatest on earth of my life professionally. but nothing is worth that. why be a united states senator if you are going to be a party to overturning democracy itself? a lot of these people ran for office. they ran for mayor or secretary of state or lieutenant governor or governor. you know, because they actually wanted to help their community. now they are sitting there all privately telling us this guy is insane. this guy is an autocrat. but if it's not me in office it's going to be someone even crazier and that is why i've come to the very sad conclusion the republican party is no longer devoted to american

i worked very sassed, i worked very intuitively and i just let the images kind of come out. and often what happens is that there is a kind of funny or violent and a push back to the image. a name was burmese girl who with a tasteful revenge. a woman in india weaving cloth for a superpower, south seas islanders uniting and solidarity photographs taken by and for europeans. in the 19th and 20th centuries. proj, come on, colo has been reclaiming them for 20 years. she says they still shape how people view each other. even today these images, tale exert power and the fillings are power over my life, how i see myself and how i see others. and i think that's true for every, every one. and so, why these images can still exert this influence is what i'm interested in exploring . like, how does power work? how, how does power work and images and, and why do those images still affect how people see me? callo says she feels less like a foreigner here in her adopted home berlin than she did in california where she was born to indian parents. i actually see myself as equal parts colonize

what does ben sass think about this and mit romney think about this. what should people tell us we should give the republican party a break which i tried to do in the senate. what do they say about this? >> right. >> well, i think there is the more precise and pertinent question, they're willing to live with it. lindsey graham have made his choice. i don't care what he says about it or doing about it. the republican party must take a knee in front of and bow to the king in mar-a-lago. mccarthy would take that 11,000 votes and make him speaker of the house. the question is how can you liver with yourself at the human level and there is the question for the other guys which is the sasses and the romneys who tried to stake out a different position. how do they not change laws? how do they not press for the prosecution of someone who's obviously broken the laws. the word is whatever. the question is what do you want to do? ensure there is no voter subversion and prosecute this president when he broke the law. >> i don't want to sound naive, when i was ther

that's one band that had sass dancer tasmania. following that, it looks mostly drive it showers in land will develop and in the west, in perth, it's getting hot again. with the wind out of the interior, we're heading up towards i think the 40 mark. well tom get to monday, not reco breaking is we had several days at 40, but it's back up there trying to once more in the philippines expect more flooding in these on flash flooding. it's these thunderstorms. they are pretty intense and almost continuous in the same place. then move a little bit with a direction is east to west. there's not much going on around indians for lankin. this bit of breeze in the northeast brings a few shasta time allotted for the north. the problem is briefly the cold wave in the hole, which affects nolan, india. otherwise it's sunshine is not as warmer than usual actually, but i won't last is more cold on its way across. ah, what happens that in new york has implications all around the world to make these stories resonate requires talking to everyday people.

sasse: to ukraine as it deals -- you should be sympathetic to ukraine as it deals with aggression and a potential military invasion from moscow. host: what would an invasion or incursion from russia look like? the bbc has a chart showing the differences between the military in ukraine and the military in russia. russia by far has more troops and more equipment than ukraine. so what would an invasion or incursion by russia into ukraine actually look like? guest: russia has the second or the third most powerful military force in the world. we are easily the strongest, far stronger than russia and for that matter than china. but russia has a very strong military and ukraine has a reasonable military for country that has 40 million as opposed to 150 million. well, moscow has it the military ability to seize any point in ukraine it wants. it will pay a serious price and terms of ukrainian resistance but it would win. but putin is worried about not just in his abilities to take assets, to take land in ukraine. it is the possible american-led western response. the unfortunate biden press con

there was this soul a money factor which is a reference to the guard commander in iran trump ordered sasse needed in baghdad a few years ago. this had shock waves ripple effect and never knew how donald trump would calm down. so unpredictability there. and joe biden and the russians with predictable weakness so just as in the obama administration another week administration of the russians, they moved to crimea in four years of stability but now under joe biden again, please see vladimir putin snarl at the ukrainians and consider a major deflect. >> carley: everyone is waiting on bated breath who he will do next. you made an observation on the timeline of things when it comes to the olympics, actually aunt putin not want to steal president xi's. >> interestingly enough vladimir putin moved in the caucuses in 2008 which took place in beijing i'm at the summer games in a lake. in 2014 around the sochi games which vladimir putin hosted he moved to crimea. so a natural symmetry, it would be complete this time around if they moved to the chinese olympics. but i think the nature of the russian,

. >> harris: republican nebraska senator ben sasse says those two hours were an absolute train wreck. will cain co-host of "fox & friends" weekend is in "focus" now. will. what stood out to you? >> what stood out to me i think is the phrase uttered by senator tom cotton in the clips. the president is detached from reality but as a reflection of reality. when he says he has overperformed in his first year i don't think you will find a single american who would agree with that assessment of his first year and the mid-term report cards will come back positive for democrats and his administration he shows he has no grasp on what is happening in the real world and makes somewhat sense, harris. president biden and the democrats for that matter have done a good job of warping reality and shaping reality for the past couple of years and painted the prior administration as the reinvention of the ku klux klan and painted all their political opponents as racist and they've been rewarded with political power. pumped the american public full of fear over covid and they have been rewarded with yet

you have senator ben sasse and others calling for ron klain to step down. that is one thing, democrats is another. there's whispers about staff changes. so far this strange has not done it. the president doesn't seem like he's going to do it. the testing thing was really the biggest problem. the fact that he as a candidate ripped on president trump and the administration for not having testing. back in 2020. and then all through 2021 until we get to omicron, they didn't solve it. it was the big issue. >> martha: and treatments. we'll see. so thank you, bret. get to see you. looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. tomorrow is a big day. bret will join us that for the president's first year in office and a look ad head to the president's press conference tomorrow afternoon. we'll be on from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. covering all of that for you here on "the story." no doubt the president will be asked what he thinks about the dramatic shift in this country, a seven-point gain for people that say i'm a republican over people that say i'm a democrat. sean duffy and jac

any and sass our -- birds damian sassower and vincent cignarella -- bloomberg's damian sassower and vincentignarella with us now. where does the real threat lie? is it the fed moving more aggressively, or were in europe? vincent: i think you are talking about war in europe right now. the situation has moved to the back -- the fed situation has moved to the back burner. no one believes they are going to move, and while there are many who think they are looking at a 50 basis point hike in mark, -- in march, i think that would be very unrealistic. there's talk of five rate hikes this week. it almost remind me of the old game show, i can name that tune in five notes and someone has to say they can do it in four. every time we say there's three rate hikes, someone says they think it is going to be four, and jan hatzius says i think it is going to be five. i think people are just getting a heads of themselves in trying to be the first ones front and center to get ready to take credit for something that i just don't think is going to happen. alix: you are dating yourself with that. i remember it.

vmware is a hybrid platform that is looking to move to a sass model, and so if you think -- kevin made great point cash flow. this company is looking to create a model whereby they have more recurring cash flow, and if we look at something that we're looking at over the course of the next couple of years is this hybrid approach is going to continue not everything is going up into the cloud. and so a mix of both hybrid computing options and some of the cloud-based infrastructure that we like, we think is the best way to take advantage of the higher i.t. spend that we're anticipating continuing through the next three or four years >> so degas, good to have you back with us today, as well. i mentioned these voices that have been on the network this week and today and there was another good one on "squawk on the street" today, it was adam parker, trivariant we loved talking to him, as well and i thought he said something interesting today where he suggested the market went from zero to 100 miles an hour seemingly overnight on what the fed was going to do, and he poured cold water on that i

when there were a few moments sass thinks worse, and this was a republican insurrection. take a look at how some of that sounded then? >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack. >> they were provoked by the president and other powerful people. >> the president needs to understand his actions were the problem, not the solution. >> the president's language and rhetoric crossed a line. >> the mob was fed lies. >> it was reckless. >> he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. >> all i can say, count me out, enough is enough. >> maya it's a fact of public life within one year later, most of those individuals have counted themselves back in. >> and unfortunately, it didn't take a year. it wasn't long after those speeches that they counted themselves back in. i can't help but feel that we have a michael steele as a republican saying what he's saying, and unfortunately he feels too much like a unicorn. that's actually the problem for democracy. not that we have different parties and different views and defendant beliefs, differ

that sass the exact wrong signal.sman is right in terms of the posture we need to adopt but impose sanctions, give president put a taste of pain and our resolve. that is what we need to see now. we have plenty of rhetoric. we to show our resolve right now. we need to demonstrate that with deeds. elizabeth: putin doesn't respond to rhetoric, right, congressman? that is what the senator is saying, but secretary of state antony blinken says we need to hold on to sanctions one of our tools as a deterrent, not deploy them now. your final word, congressman, what do you think? >> strongest sanction we can do what against the late john mccain a gas tank of a government is in fact begin pushing oil and natural gas out of this country, driving down the prices and driving away the surpluses that are causing them to be so emboldened. russia is an empty suit in most ways exempt for their ability to sell natural resources. we need to hit them where it hurts and we need to do it now. elizabeth: senator bill hagerty, congressman darr

today the nation is remembering the civility rights leader who was as sass nated in 1968.would have celebrated his 93rd birthday on saturday. king's day is honored as a member of civil service around the country. president joe biden and first lady jill biden volunteered at a food bank in philadelphia, highlighting the challenges facing many american families. >> how have you been? >> i'm doing well. [ indiscernible ] >> the monthly child tax credit just mentioned there was part of the president's $1.9 trillion coronavirus aid package, but the relief ended in december for millions of americans after senator joe manchin objected to extending it saying the money will discourage people from working. the senate, meanwhile, is expected to vote this week on voting rights legislation despite it may seem doomed to fail. majority leader chuck schumer says the chamber will take up a pair of bills tomorrow aimed at strengthening voter rights laws, but it will lack the ten republican votes needed to pass. to clear this hurdle, democratic leadership has shifted its focus to ending the f

bay swing knows what's going on because north korea is a very sensitive issue sass nuclear proliferationo is to show china we're not afraid of it by actually starting to impose sanctions on china and since may 2018, trump did not impose sanctions on china, and, of course, the biden straight hasn't evening. i think beijing says to north korea, look, can you do what you want and by the way, ana, today is the first day that we see a train leaving china for north korea with all sorts of stuff on board. we don't know exactly what. >> so you think the u.s. has to do something to basically send a message to china in order to change the behavior of north korea? >> yes, because north korea, especially these days with a covid lockdown economy, with all sorts of internal problems, especially needs china's support so north korea is not going to do anything these days that it believes is going to anger beijing, so all of these tests have approval on the chinese capitol which means that if we really want to do something about this, yes, we've got to impose sanctions on north korea, but we have to go a

here's ben sasse of nebraska: >> it makes absolutely no sense to try to go into nuclear partisanshipwhen we should actually be talking about how we prevent another january 6 by doing the hard and actual bipartisan work, not the grandstanding for twitter, but the hard and bipartisan work of reforming the electoral count act, which is 130 years old and obviously doesn't work that well. lisa: judy, the divide over the divide remains. judy: and just quickly, back to you, geoff. we know the president has a lot riding on this. but, meantime, he's still trying to get build back better passed. he's got to deal with covid. what does it add up to for him? geoff: it's a real risk of inaction on the totality of president biden's domestic agenda. as you mentioned, build back better is now paused, mainly because of the reluctance of senator manchin toove forward on that. you have got inflation. you have got higher prices. you have got a seemingly intractable vid crisis. add to it movement on police reform and potentially no movement on voting rights. i asked the white house today, why move forward

sasse: mr. president, i rise today to defend the filibuster again from the latest round of attacks.his repeatedly in the last administration earning the ire and frustration of a president of my own party over and over again as i defended the senate's purpose and the supermajority requirements that forge a consensus in a big, broad, diverse continental nation. today i rise to defend the filibuster again when its' president of the other party who is decided to go full demagogue. for his entire career in the senate, basically joe biden served in this body as long as i've been alive, plus or minus a few years. joe biden was a stalwart defender of the filibuster. he said that weakening the filibuster would, quote, eviscerate the senate. but earlier this week, the president was pushed around by a bunch of rage addicted 20 somethings on his staff and agreed to go down to georgia and just read whatever nonsense they loaded into his teleprompter. it was shameful. it was sad. the president of the united states called half of the country a bunch of racist bigots. think about that. half the cou

senator ben sasse, a republican. jim landsman, a republican -- a democrat. republican from wisconsin. in addition we appointed four executive branch managers to bring the information in, the fbi, the deputy director -- secretary of defense and deputy secretary of homeland -- of homeland security. in addition we had six outline -- outside experts, the ceo of companies or government officials, think tank leaders. they were supported by the staff that i led that studied the cybersecurity problem and mccain said you have one year to come back with real solutions which is a fast turnaround rate. in nine months be produced a report that we issued in march, 2020. we put out additional papers looking at additional issues. we spent the last 18 months, fiscal year 2021 and 2022 trying to turn the recommendations of that commission into law and we have been highly successful. we had 82 original recommendations, 50 were legislative and we have accomplished between 60 and 80% of those recommendations. they are either in law or being carried out by the executive branch wh

where is vince sass? what does he not like about this voting rights act.ding the voting rights act that actually allowed to block americans, to guarantee to vote in this country safely? if people of nebraska are against it, vote against it but let the united states senate have an up or down vote. donny, here we are in 2022 for god's sake. 2022, joe manchin can't find ten republicans who support extending the voting rights act in the way the robert's court directed them to a couple of years ago. i am sorry, to me is beyond breathtaking and beyond depressing. it's indictment on the republican party. >> it's an indictment of what the future of the republican party is given the numbers that is are in the world. this is no difference than attaching to the big lies. republicans have figured something out that the more free we are, the more people are allowed to vote. the more people of color allowed to vote. they can't win elections anymore. the only way they can win now is prevention or life. that's it. the country is moving away from them. there is no game. th

you have to sort of pick your battles and not be seen as primarily a trump opponent and i think ben sassuch criticism for former president trump, donald trump but able to win reelection. he sort of endorsed by donald trump because he went quiet at the end. the point here is you can look at mitch mcconnell and somebody else although he's recently been on the out with trump. it builds your political image of being around the republican who opposes trump and your primary permission is to hurt the party, that did not go well with republican voters. if you build your image around somebody who's stand up to him who's not going to be a yes man and is going to agree with him on issues but understands why your voters support him and you support his agenda and you make it clear. voters will give you a little bit more leeway. i talked to republican voters who really would have liked his agenda. i am not sure if he's the right guy for us to go forward. i know what the polling looks like, they may be a minority. republican voters will give you leeway. what's tough for liz cheney and a few other repub

sasse: to ukraine as it deals -- you should be sympathetic to ukraine as it deals with aggression andpotential military invasion from moscow. host: what would an invasion or incursion from russia look like? the bbc has a chart showing the differences between the military in ukraine and the military in russia. russia by far has more troops and more equipment than ukraine. so what would an invasion or incursion by russia into ukraine actually look like? guest: russia has the second or the third most powerful military force in the world. we are easily the strongest, far stronger than russia and for that matter than china. but russia has a very strong military and ukraine has a reasonable military for country that has 40 million as opposed to 150 million. well, moscow has it the military ability to seize any point in ukraine it wants. it will pay a serious price and terms of ukrainian resistance but it would win. but putin is worried about not just in his abilities to take assets, to take land in ukraine. it is the possible american-led western response. the unfortunate biden press confer

we have destroyed our lives with people who are making it up sass they go along.owns on a daily basis and no one giving her help. we have a president who can't stop cursing instead of answering questions. instead of lining up experts behind him because he clearly is not -- he goes out by himself and gives mixed messaging. the people are done with it. we have to get on with our lives. we got to stay on the couch. we got to work through it his message should be my new message living with it. not running from it here is how move. back to work. >> steve: but you have got to be careful. >> brian: in what way? what mask? is the mask work being careful? then they tell us the cloth mask doesn't work. really two and a half years later i'm wearing a mask that doesn't work? >> steve: brian, everybody in this building for the most part except us is wearing a mask. >> brian: they just told us they don't work. 2%. wearing n-95 where you can't breathe and end up with dents on your face. we want to do that the rest of your lives. >> ainsley: depends on age group. friends in 80's
