here's ron wyden. >> and with this judge, they found a way to make it happen.ause of how judges in this federal district in texas are assigned, the plaintiffs could use a procedural loophole and hotwire the judicial branch. they could ensure kacsmaryk was the only judge who would get the case. >> it is part of a larger pattern of conservative groups, quote, judge shopping or forum shopping, that's according to my next guest, steve vladick. he's our legal analyst and a constitutional law professor at the university of texas law school. good morning, steve. >> good morning, poppy. how are you? >> good. let's start with what this case actually means. because i think people need to understand what the plaintiffs are arguing here and how likely it will be, you think, they succeed. >> yeah, so at the heart of the case is basically the idea that when the fda approved mifepristone way back in 2000, it was doing so only against the backdrop of pre-constitutional abortion, which is the law of the land then, but not the law of the land today. so basically last year's deci

i'm thinking specifically of senator chuck grassley of iowa, senator ron wyden of oregon and congressmen, thomas massey, of kentucky, who take national security whistle blowing seriously and often help whistleblowers who are trying to navigate this really very daunting and risky system that we have . what is your experience been on capitol hill? why is it that more members of congress aren't out there demanding that the executive branch of the government obey the law, ensure transparency and respect. the constitution just seems so basic. it does seem incredibly basic and my experience with congress is, with a couple of exceptions that you've mentioned, are not willing to stand up for and ask her to a bars chiller because they deferred to the nav security establishment because they, they assume that whatever the government is alleging the could cause, quote, unquote, in my case, you know, exceptionally great damage to the street and i states must be true. why would they have charged you otherwise? and so it's an uphill battle, even with some of the voices you mentioned in congress. my exp

. >> but ron wyden and chris cox who originally were behind writing the law in '96 are on the same pageworking the way we intended it to work. >> it is. so that brings you to a third possibility, do we just introduce new legislation that requires tech platforms to be more transparent about how the algorithms work and if that's the case we could, you know, push them towards adjusting them in cases like this where there is things like terrorist conspiracies that are being promoted. i think that's probably the most likely outcome. we have such a divided congress, we can barely gets budgets passed. can we get a new internet law passed? i am not quite so sure. >> thanks. >> sara fisher, really appreciate you with that. >> thank you. >>> here is the breaking news on cell phone. >> at least ten palestinians, including two islamic jihad commanders, killed in a major idf operation in the west bank. and that israeli defense forces there. an israeli defense force operation in the west bank. the daylight operation left more than 100 people injured. the raid was to stop an imminent attack into the w

senator ron wyden says these financial entanglements deserve investigation. as well? >> i think everything is on the table. look, we are investigating joe biden. >> you gotta love that republicans brazen deflection -ism. are you investigating eject kushner? well, we're investigating joe biden. let's look over here. don't look over there. do you have any faith, akbar, in this republican-controlled house that they would investigate a brazen, dodgy dealings of jared kushner in committee hearings. and if they don't, any senate democrats can do, while they still control the senate, to investigate this, i don't know what to call it, there's no words to describe how bad it is? >> i don't think they want to look for accountability but they certainly have a lot of overlap in the investigation. one that's ongoing, we know that's happening, it's the finance committee that is looking specifically at these financial transactions, by kushner, and by trump. and you can see if they can try to bring you know, get more information about this. but, what mehdi, there are a lot o

during the state of the union, sherrod brown and ron wyden of oregon introduced the stock buy back accountabilityoining us is former s.e.c. chairman, jay clayton, a cnbc contributor, nonexecutive chair at apollo, board member at american express, and senior policy adviser for sullivan and cromwell we have a little bit of time left for the interview after introducing you, but it's very important that we do that now, all disclosure has to be this is such a wide ranging topic. it's tough for me to discuss cash compensation got a bad wrap the answer was going to be lick le let's make it tied to the company. we all rushed to that. now the fortunes of your company are going to be part of how you're compensated as an executive, and we're opening up to this criticism. your balance sheet, whether you issue stock and you dilute it too much, whether you buy it back because you want to reduce the flow, it really isn't about just juicing the returns for executives that's not why companies buy back stock, it's just not, but they demagogue it and biden is demagoguing it almost to the point that it's ludicrous b

there aren't words in english to express how much i respect ron wyden. but senator wyden came to the floor and he said kennedy, i'm going to object to your bill. and he said i don't want you to worry about this. we're aware that president biden has proposed to cut every medicare physician in america, but we're not going to let him do that. we're putting together a budget bill right now, we call it the omnibus. we're putting together a budget bill right now that's going to address that problem. and that's why i'm objecting to your bill. your bill, kennedy, is unnecessary. now, i'm not blaming this on chairman wyden. i'm not. the oibs passed with a vote of -- the omnibus passed with if not all, but most of the republican colleagues and some of the democratic colleagues. am the omnibus passed, i didn't vote for it. in part because i didn't know what was in it. but after the omnibus passed, i went back and looked and lo and behold, the omnibus bill, which passed at the encouragement biden, and with a lot more votes from my republican friends than my democrati
