casey: i don't have advice. i do have some hopes and aspirations i think for the body itself, the senate. i mentioned the tax bill, i think it is both an opportunity, but also could be a time of real peril if the tax code gets rigged again for the most powerful. i hope they take advantage to help the middle class in a substantial way. to the detriment of the rich and big corporations, i'm hoping that. and helping those in the middle class. finally, i hope that there is a determined effort to lift up children. a strategy to invest in and lift up children. my formulation is five freedoms. these are the five for children. freedom to be healthy, a freedom to learn, the freedom to be economically secure, the freedom from hunger, and the freedom to be safe from harm. if every child in america enjoys those five freedoms or at least four of the five or most of the five, we will be doing the right thing for our kids, but we will also be strengthening our gross domestic product, we will strengthen the skill level of our w

turns out they were on a mission for bill casey.nd i have a photo, the book of ben barnes and john with president egyptian president anwar. on this mission for casey at which they are telling all the leaders in the middle east. you got to make sure iran holds on to those hostages and doesn't release them till after the election. well, nancy reagan knew about this and there was a letter in the. i believe it was the reagan library in which john connelly wrote, nancy reagan, about it. and it suggests that reagan i mean, assuming talked to her husband that reagan may well have known about it. did you ever talk with the families of the or the themselves about what it meant for them to be held this additional amount of time for political purposes. a man named john limbert, a hostage and he had just attended my book party. so i was able to meet him for the first time last week. and i did an interview by phone earlier on and he, uh, he married an iranian woman and when the hostages were released, they first flew to germany. and then i belie

what makes casey's different? the third largest convenience store chain in america. casey's flies under the radar because they put their 2600 locations in incredibly small communities. roughly half of their stores are in towns with less than 500 people. they are spread across 17 states but more than half of their locations are in iowa, missouri, and illinois. so why you might imagine casey's general as your quick trip, while law, or just your local 711, this company is actually much more than that. it is not just the third largest convenience store in america, it is also the fifth largest pizza chain. and they've got some wild varieties, like breakfast pizza, which comes loaded with cheese, eggs, bacon, or sausage. to a new yorker, that may send like a crime against humanity but given how much the stocks run, there is clearly something genius about turning a bacon egg and cheese sandwich into a pizza. throw some tailored ham on there. i'm from jersey. this sport is special. there is a reason the stock gently climb

>> thank you, senator casey. i think that employers should really do their research to see what benefits they can find to help people be able to pay their employees a proper wage. it is difficult out here for us, and so we are doing our best. and for the employees, they should know their worth and know that what they put into the job they will get out of it, especially if you find a job that does pay a liveable wage. >> well, your testimony is especially significant and compelling, because you see these issues from the perspective of someone who lives with a disability, and also someone who has been an employer and a successful employer. an employer of people with disabilities. so we're grateful for that perspective. mayor mcdevitt, i wanted to ask you a question about this -- the issues you raised about running for elected office, which i have done. not with the challenges and barriers that you faced, and i wanted to thank you for sharing your story. you shared with me and with our colleagues the challenges you

casey. >> so let's start with this rebel leader abu mohammad al jolani. what we know about him, about the group he leads and what that means for america's interests and security well, you know, ahmed al sharaa is his real name. >> he's been showing up. not in at least one interview in suits. he's allowing the international media in. which is a very good sign. he's saying. and doing all the right things with respect to talking about inclusion and protecting the rights of minorities. he's the senate representative to latakia the alawi stronghold, to assure the alawite minority that there won't be retribution against regime supporters. all of this strikes me as a as headlines. casey. the question is whether the trend lines will hold as he as he and the complex and consolidated sort of loose alliance of islamist groups begin to deal not with the issue of rebellion. that's hard, but governing is harder. and look, the reality is the track record here for overthrowing middle east dictators is not a

casey: thank you.i'm proud of the work we've done together on behalf of the people of pennsylvania to fight or our children, our seniors, people with disabilities, our veterans and our workers. in my 18 years in the senate, i worked to pass many laws focused on improving the lives of every day americans. allow me to give some examples. one of my proudest accomplishments is the steven beck junior achieving a better life experience act, so-called able act which turned 10 years old this month. before able, people with disabilities could not save more than $2,000 without risking access to their benefits, forcing many into a permanent state of poverty. i worked with senator richard burr to pass this legislation so people with disabilities can save for their futures. there are almost 190,000 able account holders across the nation who have already saved over $2 billion. brenda dare is one of those, an able account holder from allegheny county, pennsylvania, she said able, quote, gives us a way to be fully fun

let's bring in criminologist behavioral analyst casey jordan. casey. good morning.you have seen the video of the gunman. i mean, it is very hard to watch, but what do you see in those frames that maybe those of us with less practiced eyes might miss well, the biggest thing that people have been focusing on is the fact that the gun has a silencer and seems to be malfunctioning. >> in other words jamming. >> he gets three shots off but in between he has to hit the side of the gun to make it reload. it was not automatically reloading and law enforcement analysts who know ballistics and understand the training that's involved in the handling of a firearm like this do believe that this is a person who had plenty of practice. you can't jump to the conclusion that this is a person who is in the military or law enforcement but it's not just the sort of thing where he woke up that morning and decided to do it. he clearly has spent time at a practice range using that weapon and knew almost as an auto response, how to clear the chamber when it was jamming. so they're going to

after 18 years bob casey's legacy is a better pennsylvania. thank you, bob casey. thank you, madam prime minister i yield to the floor. [applause] >> madam. >> translator: >> the senior senator from ohio. >> thank you. i've enjoyed watching senator fetterman and senator casey and the working to the and how productive that's been for the state of pennsylvania. humility is the foundation of all virtue, and i -- humility, not a common trait in this body perhaps, but humility infuses the the work of bob casey every single day. and we work with his staff, my office, perhaps -- not perhaps, more than any other office. and i feel that what he brings to this, that uncommon humility and uncommon kindness in his personal relationships with his friends in the back row here, an uncommon kindness to the people of pennsylvania, an uncommon kindness with his own staff. and i love watching that. little staff turnover, the kind of energy that they bring, the kind of kindness they bring. and one of the things that a really brought that home to me listening to bob talk a minute ago w

senate finance committee, i would urge all members of the senate to stand with senators brown and casey and all our colleagues who have been working to pass this legislation. it is long overdue and i yield we developed a curriculum to meet that and student body officers and do a congressional internship program in washington and lecture series and i even build a program, a fellows program where i try to teach the art of governing, something that's a lost art these days and really we have these law students look at issues some are run for congress and some serving in california at state legislature and we're happy we've been able to plant seeds of future leadership for our democracy, which we leave is important togoing for them and 70% of young people going to achieve the american dream than it was for their parent's generation and in 2004, 60% of those surveyed thought they'd end up being worse off financially than their parents. naying they'd be able to enjoy the american life and the american dream that . particularly hurt me because frankly>> they can't achieve it and it's up to fede

now back to casey. >> all right. we are now just weeks away from donald trump's second inauguration. and as the former president prepares to move back into the white house, he'll bring with him a unified republican government. >> america has given us an. unprecedented and powerful mandate. we have taken back control of the senate. wow. that's great. and it also looks like we'll be keeping control of the house of representatives. i will govern by a simple motto promises made, promises kept. we're going to keep our promises as voters rallied behind trump in november, they also granted republicans majorities, albeit slim ones, in both houses of congress. >> that was also the case in 2016. but at the start of his first term, trump was a newcomer to the politics of capitol hill and his more unconventional ideas and approaches did not always land with his allies in congress. eight years later, that's a problem that the president elect is unlikely to have. >> we have a mandate from the american people, a mandate not only to

casey, to see you.of course, something that biden repeatedly said that he would not do but also, at the end of the day, the reason he was asked about it so many times is because everybody did wonder if he could possibly, as a father leave the office without doing this. what have you seen as this has unfolded over the last 12 hours? >> look, it's no surprise that republicans are certainly criticizing president biden over this, saying that he is politicizing the judicial system. >> democrats, of course, hitting back, talking about the politicization of the judicial system. on the right side of the aisle. but at the same time, i thought it was interesting seeing a few democrats like colorado governor jared polis, arizona congressman greg stanton coming out and saying, look they understand where the president is coming from as a father, but they're afraid of the precedent this sends this sets, you know, it's interesting looking at the past, you know, 24, 48 hours in terms of, you know, news with the justice

casey. here's why. number one, all you have to show if you're the charging state new york, is that the actual warrant is facially sufficient. what that means in english is that there are no defects. it's written and drafted properly. number two, in terms of what it says is probable cause to believe you wanted for specific crimes. and number three, that it is you. right? it's most probably you. and so as long as you meet those standards, you're going. and so you have a right, no doubt to fight extradition. he's doing that now. it could be because he doesn't want to be at rikers island. right. right away. rikers island, of course, is the prison in new york city that is widely known. or it just could be that he just intends to fight this tooth and nail. in any event, in that process, the judge has given him two weeks, his attorney, to put together a petition. and it takes generally about 30 days for the charging state to come get you. after that's all said and done, so you can fight. but the realities are

good morning casey.t to be with you. so one of the things that people have to keep in mind is that there are so many different types of drones out there, and it is certainly possible that some of them are flying over new jersey. now, one of the things that could be is that there is a company that is testing a new delivery method, you know, like an amazon or a fedex or some company like that. possible. >> but then could they say that i mean, could they just come out and tell us like, hey, we're amazon, we're walmart. like, don't worry. >> like, yeah. >> and they should and they should. if there is something like that. absolutely. but the other thing is this, you know, when you look at the the flight path that some of these flying objects will call them for, i have taken it's a if they are actually surveilling the infrastructure of new jersey military areas, i you know, the president, the president elect place at bedminster, then that's the problem. and we need to know if those are foreign assets or some o

while robert casey sr. may have embedded the name in political life, robert casey jr. added new honor to that name. i want to say thank you to a departing senator across the aisle. on the evening of january 6, 2021, many senators in both political parties denounced the violent assault on this capitol, but i believe history will record that the truest, bravest words spoken that night were from senator mitt romney of utah. he said, and i quote, in light of today's sad circumstances, i ask my colleagues, do we weigh our own political fortunes more heavily than we weigh the strength of our republic, the strength of our democracy and the cause of freedom. senator romney is a man of deep faith, a successful businessman, rescuer of the 2002 olympics and his party's nominee for president in 2012. after he had been here a few months, i went up to him and i said the more i get to know you mitt romney the more i wonder why i said those things about you in that presidential campaign. he's abconservative but he's a man of conscience with character. we would all do well to ponder hi

casey, let me approach it this way. you know what it's like to grow up in the philly burbs, and you go to the jersey shore for hopefully a week of vacation. or, as we put it, down the shore, and each one of those jersey shore towns has a distinct personality. wildwood, new jersey is a working class shore town. when donald trump went to wildwood, new jersey, last spring and drew 80 to 100,000 people in a boardwalk appearance, and there's this image of trump, and he's in front of a ferris wheel, and he's walking out on stage, and it's a little carnival barker ish, because that's wildwoods boardwalk. but that was stunning to me because here was a billionaire attracting tens of thousands. we always argue about how many people were there. there were a hell of a lot of people there that day. and trump comes out and he tells the story about how frank sinatra said, you never eat before you perform. but i just i just ate an enormous hot dog. and the crowd roared in its approval, and i thought to myself that he could attract so m

the pages of casey's diary and journal from those days so far is missing. and if we ever find that i believe where we are because i mean i've researched much history you you claim you never go find it but if somebody keep looking long enough and they're in existence okay that was and what i didn't put in the book because i didn't write a whole book. this subject is some of the low, low level people in the campaign, one of whom was what's his name is it paul manafort and his friend were very involved in it and they were involved at a level i can't understand, but they had all to do with foreign money and and all of that. they were extremely involved. it and when it all over reagan of both of those men any position they wanted in his administration this was published in an article in the l.a. monthly and they turned him down because said, oh, they had been making a lot more money doing other things. okay as you refer to the iran-contra scandal, the truth of the matter is, that's when it really began and that's when it really began. because when the bush was t

casey, do you have some questions for carrie? so questions that i will read out.so the first one, this guy, what unique questions did you ask president carter? well, i asked him about the october surprise and he very diplomatically. deferred, saying that he had no opinion about it. but he so he was clearly aware of the allegations and curious about what i would find. i also asked him, as i explained about curveball and his influence and thinking about various issues and i asked him about the helicopter rescue mission. and, you know, he was he was helpful. but i have to say, he the best thing he did to help his biographer to keep a very detailed old white house diary throughout his presidency and, of course, as you know, he published about 20% of it. and it's a fabulous diary. it's substantive. it's a place where you can see him venting about various issues and personalities and problems. he's facing on a daily basis. and i asked him, you know, repeatedly if he could open up the 80% that was still closed. but he turned me down and he's other historians down. but so

casey: madam p

happy holidays. >> thank you so much, casey. and you.nk you. >> all right, let's turn now to this. donald trump's georgia election interference case, now in serious jeopardy corrupt fani willis hired her lover, nathan wade, so they could fraudulently make money together. >> she paid her boyfriend, a lawyer who had no experience as a lawyer and no experience doing what almost $1 million. and then they decided to go on beautiful norwegian cruise line's trips all over the place. >> that was last march. today, the president elect is cheering the disqualification of prosecutor fani willis, a state court of appeals disqualified the fulton county da on thursday, finding a, quote, significant appearance of impropriety, end quote, that could potentially taint the case in the public eye. the racketeering conspiracy case can still move forward with a new special prosecutor. willis prosecution was upended earlier this year when her affair with her handpicked special prosecutor, nathan wade, became public. she immediately denied benefitting financial

casey? but what we've got this time is lot's of positivity coming across all the different parties involved here. crucially, between the palestinian areas as well. and israel. so, you know, all the sensitive points are the ones we've talked about before. you know, obviously israel wants to get the hostages out. that's a priority. so which hostages are released? at what point? and during the different phases trying to tie that in with the withdrawal of israeli troops, it appears that on the hamas side, they've accepted that there will still be some israeli troops in gaza after all of this, but they're just trying to agree on which areas they pull out of and which areas the gazans can move back into, into the north, for example. so lots of, you know, the broad principles seem to be there, as they have been for some time. but certainly the sounds are that they're getting some sort of agreement on those key crucial issues. and who knows? you know, if it speeds up, you could have a donald trump c

good morning casey. so i tell you what the ten and two miami hurricanes and their fans not very happy this morning. the playoff committee putting them behind nine and three alabama and the committee chairman said if you're not playing this weekend you can't jump in the rankings. >> so that means miami is not going to be going to the playoffs. and this is what the playoffs would look like right now. oregon, texas smu and boise state would get byes as the highest rated conference champions in the first round. penn state would host arizona state. asu ranked 15th, but the fifth highest rated conference champ is guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, so they get in. tennessee would play at ohio state notre dame would host alabama and indiana would go to georgia. now we could see movement after the conference championship games this weekend unlv, iowa state and clemson are all in win and get in situations and if clemson beats smu in the acc title game to claim that spot we could see a situation where smu still get

casey ellis, founder of the san francisco based cybersecurity platform bugcrowd. hey, casey, thanks for joining us today. >> thanks for having me, kristen. >> just help us put this in context. how important is tiktok today? why are we talking about it like culturally and economically speaking? >> yeah. as as an application that's used by, you know, the population of the us is, is 338 million people as of checking just before coming on here. so, you know, that's literally half the population that are using this application, i think from from a cultural standpoint and from a usage standpoint, it's obviously very important to everyone who is a user of the app. but then from a national security, you know, potential foreign influence, perspective, all of those different things that kind of instantiated the ban and created the concerns in the first place. it's important for the same reasons. >> right. so the clock is now ticking, right. the supreme court is hearing this on january 10th, but talk of banning tiktok date all the way back to the first trump administration.

i hope you come back soon thanks, casey. all right. this from donald trump's days on the apprentice to his first presidency. the president elect has long tapped his own family members to fill key roles i like nepotism, i think, you know, a lot of people say oh, nepotism. >> usually these are people without children. but i like nepotism over the weekend trump announced plans for the billionaire massad boulos to serve as his senior advisor on arab and middle eastern affairs, notably this man, also the father in law to trump's daughter, tiffany. >> additionally, trump named charles kushner the next u.s. ambassador to france. charles kushner is, of course, jared kushner's father, so that's his other daughter, ivanka's father in law. our panel has returned so, brad, he's pretty candid there in that yes, old clip. but as we know, donald trump actually has been remarkably consistent over many years on a lot of things like this. and of course, it's worth noting trump pardoned charles kushner who was, you know, put behind bars by chris christie

so true. >> jessica, good to be with you and my friend casey. look, the reality is, is that lives are destroyed when there are lies that are put out there. prosecutors have a great amount of power and authority, and this is a teachable moment for all concerned. why? because while we need to be sensitive to any claims that are made by people alleging rape, and we need to be very respectful of them, we need to be very thoughtful of them. the claims need to be vetted. there's something called due diligence. we have to certainly when you're evaluating allegations, look to that due diligence and you can't be out there in public destroying people saying things when you're the prosecutor and you haven't even spoken to the victim, alleged victim, nor has your staff. and, you know, so many things were upended with respect to these three young men. the coach gets fired. you know, the district attorney ultimately was disbarred, which is the right call. but i think what it shows us is that prior to rushing to judgment, jessica, as you asked about, we have t

let's discuss what's going on with criminologist casey jordan. casey, thanks for joining us. based on what we've learned about the teen's home life individually, this doesn't mean necessarily someone is going to shoot up a school, but how can it contribute to, quote, wanting to commit such horror well, there are four primary factors that we look at as we try to kind of reconstruct and dissect the the dynamics that may have contributed to this family dynamics is one of them. >> and we do know that ten years ago, when the parents got divorced and the shooter would have been about four at the time, 4 or 5 parents were given joint custody and her mother was her primary caregiver until two years ago. and something might have happened. but her father became her primary custodial parent. and what we've also seen recently are some confirmed photos of the father taking his daughter to a shooting range and practicing target practice with her. so those family dynamics, whether they were, uh, whether they were completely calm and civil, is really unknown. i mean, all parents are being co

casey.so this storm system you're talking about is all related to each other. >> so the mountain snow is also going to yield in the stronger winds in southern california. and that, of course, equates to the potential for some fire weather conditions going forward in the future. so let me explain. here's the latest satellite loop. and you can see it's kind of a stream of moisture into the western parts of the u.s.. so this is gathering some shape. and it's produced a lot of snow, particularly across the ski resorts. this is what the snowboarder likes to see. look at that. almost two feet of snow at jackson hole, alta. coming in at 15in. so additional snow still to come. so yeah. why are we mentioning this. yeah. some of the overpasses here could get a bit on the tricky side of travel, but it's all part of the same storm system that will impact a larger part of the western u.s.. so the radar very busy. again. high elevation snow, low elevation rainfall, a few different. few inches of rain poss

but casey i. can't believe that we still have those plays where the players drop the ball before they cross the goal line. that would drive me nuts if i was a coach. >> uh, yeah, or a fan. anyone? anyone? anyone at all. you know, it's funny, i have to say, i don't i don't hate watching cole screw ups because you may have wondered why my sports loyalties are so confusing, but my main football loyalty has always been disdain for the formerly baltimore colts, who left town in the middle of the night when my dad was a kid. so i ended up an eagles fan out of that. anyway, andy, thank you, i appreciate it. see you tomorrow. all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, drone drama leading to panic and political fallout. why? some say it's time for the u.s. military to start shooting them out of the sky. and why officials warn that is not a good idea. plus, new hope for the family of journalist austin tice missing in syria for 12 years now. >> for us, you know, this this kind of chaos for us, it represe

you're right, casey. mean, they're really sort of time capsules of how different things are and how different we practice politics today, but also say about romney is the thing i always loved about him is that he was like the ultimate public servant, but he was a terrible candidate. he was he would turn himself into pretzels just because he hated the process so much. you know, he didn't like having to become what you have to do to be a candidate. trump has no problem with any of that. and that's part of what's different today. and, you know, i just i mean, it was just so honorable that he just didn't want to like, bend to the process. and trump's like, i'll do whatever. >> yeah. you know, it's interesting you say that because i also remember when that netflix documentary came out about, you know, behind the scenes of the romney campaign. i had so many people come up to me and say, i don't understand this guy in this documentary. he's so accessible and normal and relatable. and i think those of us who saw

casey jordan, the criminologist is with us as well. casey, tracking the suspect's movement, taking a greyhound bus to new york city to begin with staying in new york for about ten days, going in and out of a very busy hostel, staying up in the upper west side of new york. even flirting with the clerk at that hostel what does that all tell you about this man and his possible motive well, we know that this was very well planned, and i wouldn't even be surprised if in those ten days he did a series of dry runs, if you will like, practice taking that bicycle, you know, so-called case. >> the alleys around the hilton hotel. where could he hide a bike? where would he get rid of a backpack? where would he get rid of the bike we haven't been able to find that either and really it shows a tremendous amount of premeditation calculation deliberation. and he's a very intelligent young man. i mean, yeah, maybe he slipped up with the dropping the water bottle with the phone, and even now we don't know if those are plants, but the the real issue now

. >> good morning casey. this is the culprit.g down the lake effect snow that we've been talking about the past several days. and now a reinforcing shot of wind cold air that will help trigger another lake effect band over the next couple of days. so this is called an alberta clipper. the name comes from where it is developed. alberta being the province in canada and then a clipper moving as quickly as a clipper. you know, the ships named over 100 years ago or so. they move very quickly. and that's just kind of the nature of these storm systems. but there's a lot of wind and energy associated with them as well. so when you get wind, arctic wind moving across the relatively warm great lakes, you're going to kick up some lake enhanced snowfall. that's why we have these winter weather alerts. this is kind of a mixture of the snow that will fall from the clipper but also the lake. enhanced snowfall that will fall from the sky once it passes by the way, there's a blizzard warning across the mountains of west virginia right now so we c

casey. we haven't seen him since he was in court two days ago when he had that outburst and was yelling, ostensibly still at the the corporate system or the health care. it was unclear, but it was that sort of an outburst. but today, the nypd said that mangione was never a client of unitedhealthcare didn't have any interaction with that company specifically, what what does that say to you about the reason he did this or his motive? >> luigi mangione most likely sees himself as a champion of the people of the underdog. he's like a, you know, a caped crusader, a batman who is standing in for, you know, all the people of gotham as the evil health care insurer, you know, ruins our lives. and i have no doubt that he has spent a great deal of time not only reading books about this. you know, about the denied. uh, delay deposed, but but really and truly thinking of what he could do to try to make a difference. and as he as he rabbit holes, you know, for lack of a better verb, he really does think h
