andall for elizabeth warren bernie sanders. believe keith ellison's comments about the second amendment are not helpful. control laws really do nothing. the democrats want to do something, they should sponsor government abatements for gun safes, at least that way would keep stolen guns off the streets and maybe get the nra off their backs. on the stupidding things is not helping us. thank you. host: ron is in deadwood, south dakota. ron, good morning. caller: good morning. warren wouldzabeth be a great leader for the democratic party. host: why is that? onler: i just like her views everything. i think she comes across as an adult in the room. twitter, northern judy says she wants somebody honest and asks democrat try to attract independents like me or stick with the crooks they have now? do you think elizabeth warren can attract independents? caller: i do. i think she is more libertarian, and i really like the lady. i think she would do a great job. host: let's go to nikki in baltimore, maryland. good morning. caller: good morn

and that's all elizabeth warren's trying to do here -- >> no -- >> [inaudible conversations] >> elizabeth warren is exposing exactly what's going on in this administration. this -- mark my words -- trish: by the way, the administration hasn't even started, let's put that out there, so she can't really be exposing anything just yet. >> yeah, these people -- we are unable to vet these people because they're not releasing their tax returns. donald trump isn't releasing his tax returns. trish: okay -- [inaudible conversations] hang on. let's -- [inaudible conversations] let's not all talk at once, right? neil? ford? >> what i was going to say is thanks to harry reid, we only need a simple majority to pass these cabinet nominees, okay? and, therefore, you have absolutely no avenue to block them. all you want to do is gum up the works and try to slime donald trump. this is about extracting -- trish: i want to know what's going to happen, neil, to you, to elizabeth warren, to everyone else if, in fact, we see gdp skyrocket? >> well, we'll see. you know what? when -- trish: will you be happy? a l

so elizabeth warren obviously coming out against all of president-elect's picks. to block these picks. she says it is about continuing to pressure republicans. she is clearly trying to find her role in this republican congress. joe: today, the senate confirmation hearings continuing, rex tillerson in the hot seat, what is the latest going on there? >> i just hope to a senator who is a member of the committee. he is one of the republicans who has a lot of questions, like other senators, about tillerson's ties to russia. conversation with senator portman, he indicated he what bit satisfied with tillerson is testifying currently on capitol hill, so if you are a republican and watching this and hearing tillerson's testimony, he is doing what he needed to do, adopting a more aggressive tone against russia and i would expect he did the a job. you are feeling pretty good about his performance today on capitol hill. conflicts of interest, tillerson, steven mnuchin, or donald trump himself. like elizabeths warren plan to do to keep them accountable in the likelihood of an

here was trump talking about elizabeth warren . >> this pocahontas elizabeth warren, she is probably the senator that's doing just about the least in the united states senate . she's a total failure. she hasn't done anything. this elizabeth warren, she's a disaster. she's got nothing going. she's got these citizens represented by pocahontas. represented by pocahontas. she's terrible. she is just a terrible person. i'll make you a deal. you can have pocahontas, i'll take tom brady and bill belichick. abby: great to have some bad blood leading up to this so no surprise to that going on. pete: he's had meetings with worstpeople and brought them into his cabinet . clayton: ms. warren telling the new york times, one of the article is senate to push trump's pics, someone vetted. how do we know who these people are? abby: but before, they were moving fast enough. tooslow. you can'twin, people . pete: it all adds up to let's make him look bad . abby: something we can agree on is theweather. it's been crazy, it's been extreme. a storm turning deadly killing five people. snow and freezing rain

elizabeth warren goes after ben carson.ng that carson would benefit trump's real estate business. my take on that at 10:00. we're one week away from the inauguration. several protests are planned. fun fact. 200 bus permits have been requested for friday for a protest. i'm sorry em , i'm a little confused. i'll sort it out. we'll be right back. might might >> 60 points higher on the dow jones industrial average. yes, 60. that means we are 48 and change away from 20k. i'm not going to start talking about 20k all over again, but we are only 48 points away from it. got it. big name movers for you, monster beverage, up 3%. nice gain. grub hub, morgan stanley upgraded them and they're up 2% at 38. look at this, facebook, it's now up over $2 at 128. raymond james likes them, says buy them. facebook is a winner. the so-called border tax that president-elect trump is proposing could raise 1.2 trillion dollars over a 10-year period. is that right, ash. ashley: that's right, this would be-- that would, of course, help off set the loss

elizabeth warren of the commonwealth of massachusetts has received two. maria cantwell of the state of washington has received one. susan collins of the state of maine has received one. carley fiorina of the commonwealth of virginia has received one. the sergeant at arms will remove the protesters from the gallery. the chamber will be in order. he chamber will be in order. duke has received one vote. in announcement of the state of the vote by the president of the senate shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons elected president and vice president of the united states. each for the term beginning on the 20th day of january, 2017, and shall be entered together with a list of votes in the journal of the senate and the ouse of representatives. the purpose of the joint session having been concluded, pursuant to the senate concurrent resolution 2 of the 115th congress, the chair declares the joint session dissolved.

>> in the mind of elizabeth warren it does. stuart: elizabeth warren would not shake hand with mrs.evos after her hearing. i'm not going t say. where are we? we have got the hearing going on. we haven't had any news from the hearing involving rick perry of texas who wants to be the energy secretary. we have not heard any comments except he did walk back some of his more extreme comments earlier. a couple years ago he said he would like to see the end, the abolition of the energy department. he also said that global warming climate change is real, and that mankind, human beings are at least partly responsible for it. that goats right up against the statement from mr. trump who said it was a hoax. so there is a walking back, some softening of the position here. orin hatch is defending mr. mnuchin. listen to that, please. >> that unit has been sanctioned by the sec for selling assets that quote harmed investors. i want say as part of the committees bipartisan vetting process, mr. mnuchin in good faith submitted answers to committee questionnaires and other materials that were later mod

>> i don't want to see any corruption probes or any incoming, that's what elizabeth warren was getting with ben carson, going to benefit from hud money. i can see the question, i understand what she's trying to say, i don't see that happening, but trump still has a stake in his empire and he's going to get dinged for that. but that's an issue, but the issue that we've been living with for eight years is the mindset of the democrats. he "you didn't build that" attitude and bernie sanders going off a small business guy saying i'm not concerned about your i think come, watch this. the financial times indicate the aides, five years in the private sector for obama's. >> no receiving public housing fends ever, i don't think there's a conflict of interest there. bruce, you don't support people trying to get rich off public service, do you? >> well, here is the deal and by the way, you know, president obama has penny pritzker, the head commerce secretary, took six months to disclose her conflicts and whatever. i think that the cabinet people, one of the things i'm listening for, what are they

ainsley: senator elizabeth warren going after ben carson.escribe it? he's in washington d.c. hi, ed. >> good morning. you know what's really going on here? she's probably running for president. >> of course. >> we saw the same deal with cory booker a few days ago. he became the first senator to testify against another sitting senator, jeff sessions, the nominee for attorney general. even though there's videotape of cory booker is as you know about a year ago praising jeff sessions and accepting civil rights award along with sessions. so you see the flip-flops because booker is probably going to run for president as well. and just in the last few moments, by the way, al, democratic senator from minnesota announced that he's going to vote "no" on sessions. but despite booker and other democrats opposing him, he's still very likely to go through, anyway. as is ben carson. elizabeth warren went after him and, look, she wanted to get a headline. she got it. just look at the huffington post, they have a big banner that basically says elizabeth war

elizabeth warren just fired up the crowd.onfirm, this is not the type of crowd you see for n demonstrations there. you can see chicago on your left which is growing by the minute. there is another look at boston from the sky. >> we can see here in d.c. as the crowds continue to stream in behind us. we'll continue to watch this. our special coverage ticontinue after a break. the irs announced delayed refunds till february, so how can you can get up to $1300 today? at jackson hewitt, you can get an express refund advance - a 0% apr loan. can't get that online! visit jackson hewitt, and you could get up to $1300 today. i use what's already inside me to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me that i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what's within me with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin. it helps activate my body to do what it's supposed to do release its own insulin. trulicity responds when my blood sugar rises. i take it once a week, and it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen.

. >> i don't know one thing you could say elizabeth warren -- >> i don't know good thing elizabeth warren do you feel of about that? >> well the fact -- elizabeth warren support i am not sure if good or bad, but -- >> what an incredible situation, i mean, how do you respond to that you will. >> i gave a donation personally to a pack to support trump, and you know my cousin gave to obama four years ago many more times the amount i did but the point is we should have that privilege we live in america this is a free country. >> do you mind tweeting. >> i think that very effective mode of communication for our president-elect. and i respect the communications. >> have a lot of hypocrisy, going to be democrats will say you can't forget the past, when it will comes to keith ellison up for chairmanship dnc we can fget the past he changed. >> ellison has said those things senator sessions accused of saying those things by one recanted temperature after the heering a large differents i was with all due respect to former professor. >> large consensus the tax opportunism does not make companies glob

[cheering] elizabeth warren yesterday at boston's logan airport and president trump same the world is a mess and angry. joe from north carolina, you disagree. while? caller: yes, i do. i was listening to the last program, the lady from the brennan center, and she was talking to mostly republican callers calling in and they did not know if they were talking about with voter suppression, donald trump and voter fraud. i mean, the man is a habitual liar. i have to say that. it is one thing after another. he generates his own news cycles. get it. i just have something quick to say. remember this date, november 6, 2018? seats and 14 seats of the upper election. make sure your vote. make sure you vote and tell everyone that they should vote, too. cannot and vote. that is what happened in the last election. people do not vote, they stayed home. i talked to a lot of people and asked them, are you going to vote, yes, i am, but i know they didn't. it was just voter apathy. the sooner people and united haves realize that they two, you just have to vote. it is a democracy and it should be unconsti

liz: what do you think of senator elizabeth warren waiting until after the ethics filings until each of come knees are completed. >> donald trump's cabinet is full of successful people, theyave been successful in the business field, doctors, successful in government, so, you know they had a long record of success. we should examine that, i believe that elizabeth warren trying to up her profile for the next 4 years. >> we have gridlock for a long time in dc, donald trump is trying to break that gridlock, now developments here. trump now acknowledging russia's role in hacking democrat national committee, but dem nats ar democrats are still attacking him for wants to work with russia. do you remember when president obama and hillary clinton wanted to do just that a russian reset. and saying he could be more flexible with russia. trump responded having a good relationship with russia is a good thing not a bad thing. only stupid pee people or fools would think that is bad. we have enough problem in the world, when i am president, russia will respect us far more than they do now, both coun

i want to take a look at elizabeth warren. she had a go at dr. price.he showed herself last night when she wouldn't even shake betsy devos' hand. >> can you assure this committee that you will not cut one dollar from either medicare or medicaid should you be confirmed to this position? >> i believe the metric ought to be the care that the patients are receiving. >> is your answer no? >> it's the wrong metric. we ought to be putting forth the resources. >> i'm asking you a question about dollars. you might want to print out president-elect trump's statement, i'm not going to cut medicare or medicaid, and post that above your desk in our new office. charles: we know some of this is setting up the republican party later on, if something doesn't go right, they can refer back to these hearings and sound bites. she really put pressure on dr. price. >> to her liberal base she did. had the american people been forked idea elizabeth warren is championing then the democrats would have wouldn't senate and house, which they didn't do. the republicans kept the repub

i would like to hear further talk about that bill that was proposed by elizabeth warren, and that payout for veterans, and those on fixed income. was 589hink amount dollars. if anybody has any more information about it, i will be listening. thank you. roberta on a republican line. caller: i have so many things i would like to say that i don't know where to start. first off, i think it should be brought to the attention of every person out here that for very many years, and even still gone, if a woman has never worked,of her home and that woman has never paid one sent to medicare, or one cent to social security. but she gives advantages of both of them. this has been from day one to today. therefore, there has always been a big financial gap in these systems, and we need to bring the truth out, and have conversations about the truth. another thing i would like to bring up is mitch mcconnell said i hope this president is successful, but if he is not, we need to make them a long-term president. i would say that c-span has never corrected that in all of the years i have been watching. you ha

ben carson and senator elizabeth warren, democrat, of the commonwealth of massachusetts. some highlights, though, from the other two hearings that have a military and intelligence, slash, national security bent. the headline by one way of viewing them is that both nominees, mattis and pompeo are way out ahead of donald trump, the president-elect. that is to say, a much more traditional view of u.s./russia policy and u.s./putin policy. looking at the quotes i have wrich down from general mattis on the subject of putin, first of all, senator mccain started off by saying putin will never be our partner. general mattis said of russia, they are an adversary. there are an increasing number of areas where we are going to have to confront russia. he said, they are trying to break the nato alliance. pompeo agreed that the senior leadership of russia was guilty of at least approving if not commissioning the hacking against the united states. but, again, both men have been much more huing within traditional lines of how russia and putin are viewed in this country. whatever his motiv

you say hello, hi, that's it. >> elizabeth warren complained. she said i only got 7 minutes. colleague got two extra minutes. she went back and forth with lamar alexander and wasted another minutes. >> that was terrific. >> we've seen people lose cabit positions because of their babysitter. tom daschle, bill richardson. there are a lot of democrats who didn't get torpedoed. i don't know if price gets torpedoed by the fact is the investment was made one day, he introduces a bill the next day, he makes money the third day. if you are following the money, you would be like, something is going on. >> and if you follow the money, there's a lot about going on on both sides of the aisle. >> the reason the democratic party is doing this is because they don't have any options for their other option is to try to exploit these various issues in people's lives like they're trying to do with his labor secretary twice as well in the hope that they'll push them out. period because they don't have the numbers to stop any of the cabinet choices for president trump. this is all they are left w

you look at al franken and elizabeth warren, they're big voices but in terms of who will bridge the gap between the bernie sanders people and the clinton people, i don't think that person has emerged yet. peter: if there's not a dinner tonight of democrats akin to the one eight years ago, it's mainly because they're not organized. but it's not the lack of desire. they're going to be no more deferential to this new president than the republicans were to president obama. in obama's case, they successfully conveyed to many voters that it was obstructionism. the question is will trump be able to do the same thing? will democrats who oppose him be seen as obstructionists against a president who's trying to get things done? or will they be seen as principled opposition? dan: i think one of the obstacles to president trump is that the election went in both directions. he lost the popular vote but won the electoral vote. he doesn't come in with seemingly a mandate and he doesn't come in with the kind of goodwill that president obama arrived with in terms of the country as a whole. the public re

we heard from senator elizabeth warren at that march in boston. what are you hearing there? >> reporter: we are also hearing from lawmakers like the junior senator kamala harris who hails from california. but what we're hearing now a performer who just a short time ago led the entire crowd with the chant of i'm not afraid of donald trump. trump is certainly the unifying factor of all these people that you're seeing behind me. and what i can tell bk tecan te this crowd, we don't note num't numbers, but it is a sea of pink hats that began again on social media, everyone started to wear them, to sew them, to knit them and they are all wearing them here in solidarity. what we are hearing from some of these young women, older women as you walk among the crowd and chat with them, they came from california, from new york, from the south, from the midwest. and a lot of them say that they may have disparate issues, ranging from reproductive rights to immigration, but they say what will unify them is their concern about donald trump and not having their voices heard. so what they are

appearing at inauguration i think an insult to america's trs of people transfer of power, we have elizabeth warrenake hands with betsy devos after hearing for confirmation education secretary, chicago schools around the country teachers are protesting against betsy devos they come from failing school systems and rejecting someone going to offer school choice. they look like a bunch of wineers, where as mr. trump oaks very confident what he is doing i think wenge the political battle the is the state of a play, 24 hours to go. >> i couldn't agree more they are embarrassing themselves problem is won't get back into -- >> if mr. trump enjoys any degree of success, on the economy, deregulation trade foreign policy works next two years, those democrats who walked away from the inauguration, and the rest of their party they are toast. >> to allow hollywood in there too see you he he 10 minutes "varney & company" top of the hour 9:00 a.m. join stuart after "mornings with maria", breaking the mold madam toss old gives approval back in a moment with that.'s list, we bee there are certain things you can cou

elizabeth warren asked if she was a banker. because so much of what the education department does now has to do with banking and loaning money to students. how much of that has to do with your experience and the need to have experience in education. very interesting series of questions, shows you the different ways in which government and its role in our lives are viewed by the people inside the beltway. we'll be right back. don't leave us. when a cold calls... achoo! ...answer it. with zicam cold remedy. it shortens cos, so you get better, faster. colds are gonna call. answer them with zicam! zicam. get your better back. now in great tasting crystals. when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. liberty did what? yeah, with liberty mutual all i needed to do to get an estimate was snap a photo of the damage and voila! voila! (sigh) i wish my insurance company had that... wait! hold it... hold it boys... there's supposed to be three of you... where's your brother? where's your brother? hey, where's charlie? charli

elizabeth warren, what credibility does she have? nancy pelosi needs to retire. if there was not such an open door policy, we would not be in this situation we are in now. my family were immigrants after world war ii, coming from italy. host: ok. caller: we needed family members to vet for them, to prove who they were, to set them up in an apartment, and help find a job and get them situated here. it was not like you come to our country, taxpayers are giving them thousands of dollars to start a newtion eight housi -- a life, section eight housing. my family came in with the shirts on their backs and made a from nothing. -- a new life from nothing. host: jfk airport one of a number of airports where the demonstrations lasted throughout the day. there was a newlywed blocked from bringing her husband to florida. legal u.s. residents barred from returning to their homes. and line passengers booted from .lights worldwide -- airline passengers booted from flights worldwide. brett is joining us from lafayette, louisiana. good morning, sir. callergood morning. good morni

meantime, we will have senator cory booker and elizabeth warren. >> get up there. >> can you hear me? it is not working. >> it is not working? >> can you hear now? gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen! do not stand out here as members of congress. we do not stand here as members of a race or religion, today we all stand here as american citizens. generation of american citizens have had to earn the andt to enjoy the freedom the privileges of citizenship. every generation has to face a to let our ideals expand or retract. expand or do we let love be beaten by hate? this generation has a shadow hanging over our ideals and our values. there is a blocked on our values and principles that now more than ever we must choose to resist. we must choose to stand up for what we believe in. now more than ever. ever as donald anmp proceeds with unconstitutional and him moral executive order. we must stand up to this task and make sure that the truth of america is known. i want this last point to be clear. nothing worthwhile is easy. the values that we enjoyed. the freedoms that we have were paid for by

elizabeth warren said "yes, i have serious deep profound concerns about dr. carson's inexperience but the nominee i wanted is not the test. appreciate your making thoughts heard. unlike the new administration, i don't believe anything norring people or silencing those who disagree with the choices i make." i've heard from democrats "we cannot do to them what they did to us. we need to assess these nominees individually and reasonably. we need to be reasonable and be a bulwark for institutions mitch mcconnell trashed." >> to me that is unintelligible. you can't single hand diddley hold up institutions if the other side won't be bound by the same norms with which you find yourself. it's baffling to me anybody can look at what mitch mcconnell did and think that that worked out badly for him the other thing is you should evaluate some of these candidates on their merit. i don't think anybody is angry with democrats who voted, for example, for mattis. >> nikki h, who was voted in to be the u.s. ambassador -- u.n. ambassador. >> the thing is, b carson should not be

elizabeth warren spoke in boston. hopefully we can listen to her a little bit.ry, we don't have that sound. she was talking about fighting. don't just march, but fight, stay in the fight. is there a chance that out of these rallies -- we knew elizabeth warren would be one of them, but who are the leading voices of the democrats at this moment and is there a risk -- you could make the argument whether you're a political science professor or the president, hey, give me a chance. >> i think that is a legitimate point. there have been honeymoons before. he is not getting any benefit of the doubt. i think you could make the argument that the way he conducted his candidacy is a good reason. >> and that is the real risk. remember, the dems talking point for the first four years when mitch mcconnell made those comment that's wanted to make president obama a first team president. they said he never gave us a chance and that is the challenge now. you will hear that talking point be repeated over and over again from people in the trump world. >> don't you think that is sim

like elizabeth warren, bernie sanders.t could help push things further to the left. >> what does 2020 look like? >> 2020? it's going to be crazy. oh, baby. hunker down, in four years. >> we'll get you some lunch, i think your tummy is growling. >> we're outnumbered. happy new year, we will be right back. ♪ getting older shouldn't mean giving up all the things she loves to do. it should just mean, well, finding new ways to do them. right at home's professional team thoughtfully selects caregivers to provide help with personal care, housekeeping, and of course, meal preparation. oh, that smells so good. aw, and it tastes good, too. we can provide the right care, right at home. so beautiful. what shall we call you? tom! name it tom! studies show that toms have the highest average earning potential over their professional lifetime. see? uh, it's a girl. congratulations! two of my girls are toms. i work for ally, finances are my thing. you know, i'm gonna go give birth real quick and then we'll talk, ok? nice baby. let's go. he

>> jim, thank you very much. >>> breaking news right now, senator elizabeth warren questioning the educationry nominee betsy devos. let's listen in. >> i look forward to having a second round of questions. >> thank you, senator warren. senator collins. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i cannot help but think that if my friends on the other side of aisle had used their time to ask questions rather than complaining about the lack of a second round they each would have been able to get in a second question. i've just used 15 seconds of my time to make that point. mrs. devos, first of all, let me say that i have no doubt that you care deeply about the education of all children. and i say that despite the fact that you and i do not agree on all the issues. given your lifelong work and commitment to education, any suggestion such as -- >> that hearing going on. elizabeth warren obviously was complaining about not having a second round. you heard what senator collins had to say about that. this is a bat that will donald trump has. of course betsy devos. but also you heard jim sciutto reporting battles w

i'm not playing the bernie sanders and elizabeth warren rule. i'm going into retirement and speak out as people close to the president have said in recent days, only there are issues that i feel are so urgent and important that shake me at my political and philosophical core. i think he touched on those issues that have to do with deporting people and he feels trump's philosophy is at odds with core democratic yideals. >> he went on in that press conference for two or three minutes with rhetoric that if hillary clinton had used the same rhetoric during the course of her campaign, it may have had a different result, the election may have had a different result because he addressed those who were left behind and lost in the system who feel their children have been neglected and won't do as well as they have done in this country. he was patalking to pennsylvani ohio, michigan, and wisconsin. >> he really was and maybe he doesn't have a role up front for democrats, but the party could really use him and people like david axelrod and david plouffe wh

. >>> also, massachusetts senator elizabeth warren wants to make it easier for marijuana businesses to use u.s. banks. as you know, many of them just refuse to do business because it's illegal federally, marijuana is. we'll have more on the potential hurdles that she faces on that initiative coming up. >>> but we start with big news from the auto sector today. ford announcing it's cancelling plans to build a new plant in exi could e exmexico. trump is going to impose a big tax on them for making chevy cruz in mexico. >> this is a big about face for ford even though the company will say we made this decision because of slowing demand for small vehicles, make no mistake, this is a concession to what donald trump was clamoring for for months. the company is canceling plans for a new plant in mexico. it is going to be moving focus production, the small car that was going to a new plant, to an existing plant in mexico. however, it will be investing $700 million adding 700 jobs to a plant in michigan. here's ceo mark fields talking about why they made this decision. >> we always want to make

elizabeth warren is holding the floor of the senate tonight. democrats are going to introduce legislation to overturn this executive order. take a listen. >> she was denied entry on saturday and when she tried to return on sunday after the temporary stay had been issued, she was denied boarding by lufthansa. a massachusetts student on a student visa called because his wife was denied boarding in switzerland. none of these people are criminals. none of these people are threats. they're students at some of the world's top universities. they're doctors and scientists at some of the country's best hospitals. most of them have already been vetted and granted the right to come to america. one is a father who wants to see his cancer-stricken daughter. they are husbands and wives, mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers, friends and neighbors. they are people. they are real people. they are part of what makes massachusetts great and they are part of what makes america great. donald trump's radical ban on muslims isn't in line with american values
