it may feel like -- about 700 to and edwards noted -- about 702 and edward snowden. folks serve our country every day, they do not have a uniform on, people do not buy them lunch because people do not know who they are. they worked very hard to protect americans. when edward snowden got mad at his employer that he did not get the promotion he wanted and started harvesting information and found things he did not like on it and then kept going and then released them to media and went to china and then went from china to russia and became a russian citizen and continued to be able to layer out intelligence unrelated to the civil liberties of any american, and then said i have more and i can release them anytime i want -- they do not see him as brave. they see him as a traitor. the concern among so many here, and i think what a lot of folks in the intelligence community that you would have the responsibility for oversight, they want to hear you also believe the same thing. not just he broke the law, but that he is a traitor. they do not want that to ever happen again. al

vice chairman, edward snowden broke the law. don't agree with all the intelligence he released nor the way in which he did it. there would have been opportunities for him to come to you in this committee or seek out the i.g. to release that information. the fact is he also, even as he broke the law, released information that exposed egregious illegal and unconstitutional programs happening within our government that led to serious reforms that congress undertook. sen. warner: chairman, we have five minutes. while i'll take your answer, and these are your quotes, brave, please join my bipartisan legislation calling for charges to be dropped against him. do you disagree that legislation was not appropriate? do you believe he is brave or not? back those words? ms. gabbard: once again, senator, edward snowden broke the law, he also released information that exposed the united states government illegal programs. sen. warner: your legislation and your words are still your beliefs, yes or no, please. ms. gabbard: edward snowden broke t

is edward snowden a traitor? >> look, i think it's -- it's so interesting that this lexicon that gets manipulated now, there were certain words you needed to say during covid. there were certain words you needed to say now. the fact of the matter is, the people that were most correspond, the ones most pushing this narrative are the same ones that had no issues whatsoever with the intelligence community spying on a presidential candidate that happened to be president trump, suppressing the hunter biden laptop story, when he was running again, and of course, the law fare that included. i think people are tired of these games, this kind of gotcha stuff. look, he's been indicted. if he ever comes back to the united states, he's have a trial. but this idea of trying to disqualify people by using these terms is ridiculous. >> well, what i'm doing really, these are questions that were asked by your republican colleagues, including senator langford, who asked very simply, is he a traitor? a government contractor who leak

larry: edward lawrence, thanks ever so much. folks, tarp riff diplomacy means crank up the trump tax cuts right now. that's the sixty of the riff. one thing we've learned about president donald trump's tariff diplomacy is he's very serious and felt he is not bluffing. he did offer mexico president sheinbaum a 30 day pause in the 25% tariff, that's because at the last moment, she came in with a proposal to put 10,000 troops on the border to stop illegal immigration and curb the flow of fentanyl and other deadly drugs. in a month, we'll see. let me assure you mr. trump w was -- both national and economic security. here's a related thought. mr. trump's aggressive use of tariffs bringing republican congress great incentive to get the tax cuts passed, now right away. both the 2017 tax cut extension and some of the new trump 2.0 tax cuts like the 15% corporate tax, tax free times for service workers and overtime pay in seniors, remember. one of the really good arguments posed by the president was that tariffs would generate revenues a

and the case of edward snowden in tulsi gabbard. think the maga movement will decide, but it's donald trump who will decide how much capital he wants to spend and how much pressure he wants to put on republican senators to get tulsi gabbard over the finish line. >> george: have we seen any sense yet that republicans on the committee don't want to go along? how overt does the president have to be? >> he'll have to be pretty overt. you mentioned hegseth. in that case, thom tillis indicated he was troubled -- he was a possible no vote. donald trump got on the phone with him for two hours and he relented and that's the kind of pressure that trump alone can bring, and we'll see if he does that in these cases. >> george: you believe gabbard is in more trouble? >> i think she's in trouble because of questions like that snowden question. a fairly straight forward question that is shared bipartisan -- views are that snowden has been a traitor. she had another moment when she said she wouldn't seek to pardon -- from president trump and that s

liz: edward, i sure hope none of that comes true. folks, republicans must stick to the laffer curve and that's the subject of the riff. congressional budget office, cbo reestimated the 10-year forecast and long behold they're raising their tax revenue baseline by, wait for t 1.9 trillion. same one telling us it's reduced the tax rate and reduced deficit and going for them and it's the cbo now suggesting they were wrong? all along by admitting the laffer curve really worked and lower tax rates produce higher higher revenues and that's their new forecast seems to be saying and in fact since president trump's huge reduction in the corporate tax and 35% to 21. that's over the past seven years and corporate tax revenues essentially doubled and doubled and indeed throwing the lower personal income taxes and other progrowth measures and entire tax revenue base gone up by about, wait for it, 50%. didn't go down, it went up. so how in the world can the cbo come right back and now say again that if the trump tax cuts are simply extended, just

let's get to fox business edward lawrence live at the white house. >> really a dismal report when you look at what was expected in this jobs report. this data is collected in the first two weeks of january. it does truly reflect the last weeks of the biden administration. it is what the federal reserve calls a noisy report because each year the labor department does a benchmark revision of this report. in 2024 the economy added fewer jobs than first thought in this economy. basically this yearly estimate, this revision is a yearly estimate revised down because they are looking at more comprehensive data. that reset that they did of this jobs report is a bad one for the biden administration. >> i think the takeaway from all of this is that these numbers on a monthly basis are totally unreliable. we are looking at benchmark revisions, revisions to the last two months. we have wages going up, headline numbers going down. >> the jobs are in january the government hiring one of the top three sectors, 32,000 jobs and it has been that way for the last year of the biden administration. the la

the da dance. >> i would say the behavior change pretty quickly on behalf of mexico as you heard edward lawrence say claudia sheinbaum the president of mexico said will commit 10000 troops to the southern border to try to prevent the employer to the u.s.a. fentanyl, that certainly worked did it not, for the markets they're not focused on that they are looking at all kinds of reaction and domino effects the tariffs would bring and what are they watching so many places near. >> there are a lot of cost cuts, what is interesting mexico and claudia sheinbaum which she could've done this last week or the week before and said we will send troops and avoided the drama but she decided not to until today when the pressure was on the market welcome that. to your point there's a lot of other stuff going on. i don't think there is a panic over using tariffs as a negotiating tool because very clearly he has used it to our advantage and i think people recognize that and understand that, the ones that were biden the hair on fire, selling stock as quick as they could are certainly looking at themselves

and i questioned to her extensively about her views on edward snowden and i am now satisfied that she will not seek in any way to have him pardoned. >> harris: you will remember the edward snowden case behind one of the biggest classified document leaks in u.s. history. now senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is on capitol hill with more. a lot of staccato quick movement now. >> absolutely. also doug collins is up for v.a. they'll vote on him today. the finance committee voted 14-13 along party lines to send kennedy's nomination to the floor. g.o.p. louisiana senator bill cassidy agreed to vote yes after what he termed quote intense conversations. still questions linger about vaccines. >> the only way that bobby kennedy and i will get crosswise is if he does all actually take a position against the safety of proven vaccines. that will be a problem for me. >> a week or more before his nomination hits the floor. but there could be g.o.p. news there. democrats are united in their opposition of kennedy. >> do senators want their legacy to include disregarding basic health scie
