we're here with senator tom cotton, there is that infamous case.imes" got upset over your op-ed. people were fired and all of the rest you were not towing the party line. >> back in summer of 2020, during blm riots i published an article, saying in local law enforcement was unable or unwilling to stop violence we should use federal troops to restore order like we did in 1991 during the ro rodney king riots, "new york times" newsroom momennews melted down that the leadership would publish that, they then caved and fired. and attached an editor note, they never claimed there is a single error in my o op-ed at the time, they claimed it didn't might their standards, it exceeded them, today given democratic crime wave across america you see democratic politics in areas like barbara waltedc calling for troops to be septemb sent in to restore law and order, media does not top hear alternative voices, and so-called reporters and journalists if their paper or station puts on an alternative voice for them is anyone to the right of center, they will march in

you remember what wassed when senator tom cotton suggested the same thing, editor of "new york times"orced to resign because of what he wrote. >> yeah, on the republican side, we have ability to see the long-term effect of things and understand compassion can be misused, my favorite economist said the cause or reason for disparity in communities typically falls into three categories, lack of family stability, understanding cultural priorities and problematic behavior. when three things happen in communities and you do not address it, you have a narrative for election and this is what you get. >> carley: thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. police have the man accused of being accused of trying to rob a 7-11 before workers jumped in to protect the store. >> ashley: wait until you hear what we are learning about the suspect. ask about vraylar. because you are greater than your bipolar 1, and you can help take control of your symptoms - with vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or highs. vraylar treats depressive, acute manic, and mixed episodes of bipolar 1 in adults. prov

. >> republican senators lindsey graham and ted cruz and tom cotton are making the argument that donald trump should not be held accountable for his actions in a court of law. instead, donald trump's future should be decided by the will of the voters. the thing is, though, we already tried that. and the last time trump and his allies were given the chance to obey the will of the voters in 2020, they decided they did not like what the voters had to say. they did not like the will of the voters and so then they tried to overthrow the results of the election, and that is the essence of at least two of these indictments here. and so perhaps as a back stop to that strategy there is another contingent of republicans in congress just trying to shut the whole thing down. cbs news reported this week there are not one, not two, but three republican-backed proposals in congress to defund jack smith's investigation as a way to stop his charges from ever reaching the courtroom. joining me now is former united states senator claire mccaskill. claire, thank you for being here. we put that josh holley

senator tom cotton joins us now. he sponsored the legislation.ator, this is outrageous what's going on. >> brian, it really is i couldn't tell rageous. you can't make it up. the biden administration inherited around $260 million worth of border construction materials from the trump administration. they immediately put in storage on day one when joe biden said he wasn't going to build the wall. they have now paid $300 million to store it for two years, more than the cost of the material themselves. but as soon as senate republicans led by senator roger wicker, who is the leader of republicans on the armed services committee began poking around and asking questions about it earlier this year the administration began to sell these materials for less than 2 cents on the dollar. the legislation that you mentioned is senator wicker's legislation, which i was pleased to join. it was added unanimously by the democrats armed services committee to defense bill. now the administration is racing to try to sell off all of these materials because they would ra

pointed to the reactions that the american authorities i would like to point out a few things and tom cotton said that the biden government does not know the dance agreement, mike pence , the vice president in the previous us administration, said that this is the biggest time we have ever given to iran , former us secretary of state mike pompeo said that the release of 6 billion dollars for iran is a deal this is terrible it was part of the reactions of the americans, but what do you think about the reactions of the anti-iranian currents to this agreement, which we have seen a lot, which was widespread on your social networks. given on this side in iran to a great victory, in fact , it is a sign of a great power that it has in the region today, but this event for the political opponents of the government, i have to ask a lot of messages for the opposition. in fact, scania , which i saw mentioned several times in the past months in the past, the official officials of our foreign ministry had announced that there were negotiations going on and the americans repeated the words of the iranian of

i want to mention a few things and tom cotton said that the biden administration dance agreement with iran knows that mike pence, the vice president in the previous administration of the united states, said that this is the biggest the game we gave to iran so far, mike pompeo, the former us secretary of state , also said that the release of 6 billion dollars for iran was a terrible deal. and social networks, what you mentioned is that within the united states , mr. biden's critics, fasting a lot, in fact, on this side in iran , is a great victory, in fact, on the one hand, it shows a great power that iran has in the region today , but this incident for the political opponents of iran, the government has been freed with the unwanted idea of ​​setting up a period of time . it is a very important message for the opposition. i want to ask you. in fact, i saw ekan news, which mentioned that every time they denied the words of the iranian authorities , it might be possible in some way. he said that they were pursuing the goal of discrediting the iranian authorities what do you think now tha

senators like tom cotton or for example some even the members of the government themselves must be critical that mr. gashad in the united states has completed this process in front of iran. but the important thing is that they are in in the end, they were forced to talk about a strong iran, which has no other way but for the sake of honor , and they had to bring this process to the end. the same mr. john kirby, the spokesman of the us national security council , said a sentence two days ago that was very interesting . he said nothing to the media. there was no other way in this world that we could free ourselves from these four falsehoods from the hands of the iranians . what does this mean? mohammad, we will have a conversation first let's see the media coverage of the liberalization of iran's foreign exchange resources. despite the opposition's pressure to isolate the islamic republic . i think that many of the protesters who are protesting the conditions in iran are on the streets in iran, probably what the government should do, what do you think the political groups that are in the oppo

obama kept congress out of the jcpoa negotiations and tom cotton writes a letter to the iranian president -- iranian parliament saying if there is not a treaty it is not a deal. what message is being sent? where is the american brand? it reminds me of community when hostages were taken. -- khomeini when the hostages were taken. the islamic republic is still thinking about it. for four decades we were in and out, in and out. neither republicans or democrats have the upper on -- the upper hand but if they actually started thinking together and used all of the tools of foreign policy, whether it is negotiations or deterrence or defense, if they used all of it and stood up to the israel -- stood up to the islamic republic telling them you can't just constantly get away with this, for example selling drugs to russia -- drones to russia. what did the western world do about it? where is the unity for a government on the cusp of developing a nuclear weapon? steve: 30 seconds. >> look at libya and north korea. libya gave up -- ukraine gave up nuclear warheads and what happened? why do we think aro

and it is disturbed by the senators of people like tom cotton or, for example, some even the members of the government themselves, they must criticize that mr. ghashad america has a broad hand in front of iran to complete this process, but the important thing is that they were finally forced to accept a strong iran that he has no choice but to get away with it they had to bring this process to the end, mr. john kirby, the spokesperson of the us national security council, said something very interesting, how he told the media that there was no other way in this world that we could get these four, in fact , our own swords from the hands of the iranians. to liberate means like this, what does it mean, the cost of war, the option of sanctions, the option of disintegration, the option of disintegration, not playing, not disturbing and harmonizing with iran, mohammad qadri does not answer, we will have a conversation , we will see a report again about the media's reflections on the liberation of iran's foreign exchange resources. the presence of pressure and the opposition is trying to iso

senator tom cotton, republican of arkansas says, "we a welcome the return of hostages if they are released in fact if biden administration pays 6.5 million up -- pays $6 billion. they can use this to attack our troops, fund russia, and arm terrorism." i want to talk about the incentivizing hostagetaking by the regime. guest: i don't think iranians need any further incentives to act against americans. you have a regime that has killed its own people and is trying to spread influence in the square. and is now in the practice of turning russia -- vibrant putin's blade aggression against ukraine. i suspect it is not beyond the realm of imagination or reality that more americans will be threatened. what do you do about americans who are now wrongly imprisoned and incarcerated? do you abide by a principal? i must remind republican senators it was a republican president, ronald reagan, that engaged in what ultimately was a failed initiation, but was willing to free american hostages during the iranian crisis at the american embassy. americans have been negotiating for years in an effort to redeem

plus, senator tom cotton will join us to react to reports that the white house is auctioning off spareulsi gabbard will bring the latest on recovery efforts in maui in hawaii. and we are talking about oliver anthony straight ahead and todd will put on an apron. todd and carley back in a couple. ♪ ♪ be. >> carley: eight republican presidential candidates set to take the stage for the first debate of the 2024 election season this wednesday. but former president trump says he will not be one of them saying, quote: the public knows who i am and what a successful presidency i had with energy independence, strong and military, biggest ever tax and regulation cuts. no inflation, strongest economy in history and much more. i will therefore not be doing the key baits. ron desantis' team has responded say nothing one is entitled to this nomination, including donald trump. you have to show up and earn it. other challengers have also weighed in. >> i expect it to be even more important without donald trump on the stage because this is the first time voters are going to be able to contrast the cand

act got removed from the defense authorization act last week, and now republicans led by senator tom cottonrs are trying to negotiate with democrats to find a solution. senator cotton introduced an alternate bill. >> i feel like the afghanistan -- afghan adjustment act is caught in the domestic policies of both parties. both parties have good intention but here we are. we have to make a decision about the lives of more than 60,000 afghans who live in the u.s. and they want a brighter future and be like everyone else. >> senator cotton's bill focuses on more security vetting, the 43 ftps have already been vetted over and over by the u.s. government, sandra. >> sandra: jennifer griffin live at the pentagon, thank you. rich. >> rich: let's bring in renata paris, representing three afghan soldiers, and i'm sure your clients are extremely frustrated with the process. what's the mindset, are they hopeful, frustrated with the united states, how are they feeling? >> thank you for having me here today and giving us the opportunity to talk about these heroes. they are incredibly frustrated. we put to

will: leaving lawmakers sound enough, tom cotton telling new york post leaving the border open to tellomics in a nutshell. rachel: here with reaction "sunday morning futures" anchor maria bartiromo, good morning this story made me want to explode, it is crazy and doesn't make any sense. >> good morning, it is absolutely true the real comparison is the fact that you are talking about $2 million of revenue from this. in fact this is $300 million in value this is taxpayer money, the problem here it once again underlines the fact that this administration does not care about tax payers dollars, they will spend whatever they want and they will leave equipment on the ground and let it go to waste, this is $300 million of components to build a wall to rust and rot the way the hundreds of billions of dollars in equipment and afghanistan was left to rot when we solve the botched withdrawal from afghanistan. there is no care whatsoever in terms of taxpayer money and what this administration wants to spend people's money on or not spend it. we know the facts of the border, you're talking about 700

. >> several years ago during the george floyd riot, senator tom cotton placed an op-ed in "the new yorkwe need the national guard. it was so outrageous to the left that two of the editors at "the new york times" got fired for allowing someone to express their opinion in "the new york times." after it had gone through an exhausting and excruciating fact-check process. i am not exactly sure. i think the same set up councilman had a different point of view. what a change? the situation is so dire. the number of homicides is up an incredible amount. he was responding, reacting to a mass shooting that happened on saturday night. we had one of the mothers of the young man that was killed. he was 35 years old. his name was bernard. he works three jobs. he took care of three kids. he took care of his wife. he went to school to become an hvac engineer to make sure that he actually had real good solid work. he would get up in the morning and go work for the water treatment system in washington, d.c. and she said there is just no -- there's no one that is putting up structures. like a recreational

republican senators tom cotton of arkansas and marco rubio of florida letting treasury secretary janetw about their concerns. it's all about the sun group, that's an investment company that has ties to to both russia and china. the republicans want yellen to conduct a review saying that "forbes" holds a significant market share among younger americans and foreign powers could use "forbes"' wide reach to influence voters during close elections. they also a claim that foreign investors would control nearly 50% of the total capital involved in the "forbes" acquisition. those lawmakers, republicans not the only ones sounding the alarm. progressive california democrat congressman eric swalwell also blasting the potential deal. "forbes," by the way, stu, says they welcome some sort of review. they say it's it's not what it's being described as, but certainly the lawmakers are not very impressed. stuart: got it. ashley, thank you very much, indeed. let's go back to the markets. why not? dow's up 400, nasdaq's up 200, i call that a rally. consumer prices up 3.2 over the past year. good news? t

senator tom cotton says it is a blatant attempt to halt republicans from finishing the wall and he joined us earlier. >> its outrageous peer you can't make it up. the administration is racing to try to sell off all of these materials because they would rather have taxpayers take a massive loss of hundreds of millions of dollars then give them to the governor of texas for instance to build the border wall. allowing them to be sitting around and building up border wall and republicans take back the white house in 2025. >> an online government auction house have sold 81 lots of metal beans for 2 million bucks. thousands gathering in carolina. they cheer him on for speaking the truth as his hit song rich men north of richmond declines the charts in our very own griff jenkins got a exclusive interview. >> do you feel a little bit like the creedence clearwater revival songs of the past that had a resignation with the working class question work people deal with depression and anxiety and misery and hopelessness no matter where they're at. they don't need to be blue-collar americans. it's not ju

endless amounts of input and about the trump policies, the safe third country diplomatic deals, tom cotton have a crisis, unlike the economy or covid whereby den -- where biden did have to inherit problems. the gore was solved. maria: so was the economy. we were talking about very strong growth before biden walked in, before covid-19. >> and low inflation. it is funny how democrats changed their tunes. democrats were asking do we not embrace the migrants and a pay for them. you see what happens. roosevelt hotel closed to guests and only reopened not to garner a profit, not to bring new york back in business but just to house migrants. maria: there's a major difference between legal and illegal my u migration. the democrats try to mush it together to make it look like republicans are against a i have verse fide country and -- diversified country and immigration. we're the most generous country, issuing 1 million visas a year, something like that. this is about illegal migration, not legal. >> there's a process that needs to be followed and quite frankly when you look at the labor market, th

act got removed from the defense authorization act last week and now republicans, like senator tom cottonnd thom tillis are trying to negotiate with democrats like senator amy klobuchar, chris coons, and jeanne shaheen to find a solution. senator cotton introduced an alternate bill. >> i feel like the afghanistan adjustment act is caught in to the domestic politics of two parties. both parties have good intentions here we are to have to make decisions about the lives of more than 60,000 afghans who live in the u.s. and they want to have a brighter future and be like everyone else. >> senator cotton's bill focuses on more security vetting. but the 43 members of the afghan female tactical platoon have already been vetted over and over by the u.s. government. bret? >> bret: jennifer griffin at the pentagon. thank you. russian forces launched large scale drone strikes against kyiv overnight. they say all 10 drones fired at the capital city were intercepted. debris from the drones hit three districts of kyiv damaging a nonresidential building there. up next, we talk with republican presidentia

senator tom cotton says the indictment reads like something from a, quote, msnbc producer. would this case have been brought, tom, if the capitol riots did not, did not happen? we have democrats questioning the 2000, 2004 and 2016 election results and special counsel smith is not, is not charging trump with seditious incitement. >> yeah, liz, my sense is they probably would have brought this case regardless. i mean, clearly the justice department and the special counsel made up his mind that even in the events leading up to january 6th, in their view, at least there was sufficient evidence of criminal conduct to bring these cases. but look, this is going to be a challenging prosecution. this is have very different, in my view, than the mar-a-lago case which is more simple, it's more contained, it's about documents whereas this obviously covers a lot greater span of time, it covers different actors. it's much more complicated than what they're trying to prove in florida. so although the prosecutor gets the first say, they get to make allegations and i agree there are portions

a lot of it coming from republicans like senator tom cotton of arkansas, sits on the senate armed services's calling it a ransom payment and a craven act of appeasement that will only give more funds to iran to spend two years on terrorism. we've also heard from the israeli government, which considers iran its arch enemy and a threat to its existence. saying, look, we do not support any deal that does not stop and dismantle iran's nuclear program. they're worried iran is gonna use this six billion dollars to actually fund more acts of aggression towards israel and its interests around the world. but the white house says that simply not the case. this it's not like iran is simply getting six billion in cash to do what they want with. in fact, this money is gonna be turned over to the -- government, helped involved in brokering this agreement. iran will only be able to spend under close supervision by them on things like food and medicine that fall under humanitarian exemption to those u.s. sanctions. so, the biden administration is insisting that this constitutes no lessening of u.s. sancti

and tom cotton, dismiss charges, no doubt a liberal judge will rubber stamp a sweetheart deal. first weiss said he didn't have the power he needed as special counsel status, then he has all the power he needs, now he gets special counsel status because he didn't really have the power he needs? something's not right, says jim jordan in a tweet just now. congressman. >> jim is completely right, sandra. it should alarm any americans, the fact that we have uncovered over $20 million that has came to the biden family and it's all because of "the brand" according to devon archer, and the brand is joe biden, the biden name. why would all these foreign entities give money to hunter biden other than the fact that they believe that the hunter family business peddling influence is there. and this is an individual that is rumored to be living in the white house with the president right now. >> sandra: so noting that, obviously the reaction from james comer leading the investigation in the house saying the move by a.g. garland is part of the justice department efforts to attempt a biden fam

even the quasi-supposedly more old guard republicans like lindsey graham, macko rubio, tom cotton areage that the doj is somehow targeting republicans, which is absurd. i think the iowa thing is a bit of a red flag, but he has a lot of other outs. >> you said that even the republican candidates that he's running against have largely been kind of tip-toeing around, attacking trump. we are seeing a stronger mike pence in terms of the blowback against trump in the wake of this indictment. and we all have been drawn to one of the scenes that were painted between december 25th and january 6th after trump came after pence, multiple, multiple, multiple times to try to convince him to subvert the election here in his favor. and he eventually tells pence, you're too honest. and now pence is trying to fund-raise off that. he's got merchandise that says, too honest, on it. do you think that's going to help him with republicans? >> i don't know if this is for me or sabrina. >> back to you, tim. sorry, sabrina. i have a question for you next, for sure. >> i will tell you this. i don't think its --

janing me now tom cotton sitting on the senate intel committee. senator you are a lawyer, your reaction tonight, i have a chance to read through this diatribe of an indictment but your thoughts. >> laura i think your word diatribe is well put, i only had a chance to skim through it, something you would get from an msnbc producer from that channel. these are constitutionally protected activities in which former president trump engaged, political activities, free speech protected by the first amendment. you don't have to agree with him, you don't have to think he is right, i don't see how these charges can go forward without a serious constitutional challenge from the former president. i want to point out that jack smith is an ideological zea lot, charged mcdonald, he got a conviction, he versed unanimously because his legal theories were so far speech fetched. it's curious garland chose that man to pursue the former president. finally, i want to point out every time a republican has won a presidency in this century, democrats tried to stop the cert
