hawley: mr. president, ib want to add a few words to my friend senator lujan's eloquent statement of the need to do justice to these good americans who have, let's tell it like it is, who have been poisoned by their own government, exposed to nuclear waste by the united states government, by the united states defense department. these americans are happy to do their part for national security. they're proud of what they've done for their country but they deserve to be recognized, and they deserve to be compensated. and so i want to add again my voice in support of justice for these americans, and i want to say again to this body that it is wrong -- it is wrong to turn our backs on these tens of thousands of americans who have given their health, and in many cases, their lives for their country and not been recognized for it. in many cases not compensated for it and now they're told because of the actions-this -- of this body, because of the conference report, because of a back room deal struck in

senator, josh hawley. this guy.ning for his life a few hours later. i swear, this coward is always running from something. >> oh, dying. that campaign ad by democrat and marine veteran led republican senator know that he has some serious competition in missouri's 2024 u.s. senate race. coon says raise one point $5 million in the third fund raising quarter of this year, and is collecting endorsements from the likes of actor john ham, and my next guest. joining me now, former missouri secretary of state, jason kander. welcome to the sunday show. so, first question, a simple question, why are you endorsing lucas kunce? why should voters vote for him? >> well, first of, all good to be with, you jonathan. good to see you. again look, he's just foreign above a better candidates regardless of party. for the job of being a senator from missouri than josh hawley. josh hawley is what we like to call and missouri a tool. look, this is a race between a guy, josh hawley, who popped popcorn to enthusiastically watch the invasion

courts have brought this up with senator hawley. children and you have to take care of them.amily is a good example of this with that young 4-year-old in arkansas and the mother they have abandoned and they do not want the kid to use his name and that actually is a godsend. but they do not want to support that kid they ignore that kid as if she doesn't exist. she is four years old she is not done anything to deserve this. imagine what she thanks, her grandfather's president of the united states in her grandfather will not even recognize her. >> of course of course you look at that example you see the inhumanity of the president. president biden portrayed himself as his folksy nice relatable man who cares deeply and he has shown himself to be anything but. you had we federal legislation put forward that would cut off abortion i believe it 20 weeks with the ex exception joe bidens response to that is i am catholic and my church is not believe that anymore which is false. you can read catholic catechism that's false. this is a man and doesn't seem his faith is guiding his weight

hawley: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from missouri. mr. hawley: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to be able to speak for up to 15 minutes. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. hawley: mr. president, earlier this summer millions of americans learned about the origins of our country's nuclear program, what perhaps more americans are learning about now are the tens of thousands of brave american citizens who risked their health and, in many instances, gave their lives to make that program a success. and what many are learning now is that those americans who risk their lives, who gave their health, did it without the knowledge that their government was exposing them to nuclear radiation, without the consent from their government, and for years and years and years without any kind of help or any kind of compensation. so much so, that in 1990, this body passed a landmark piece of legislation that compensates the victims of the government's oppenheimer-era nuclear pro

we will explain with jonathan turley and josh hawley later in the show. but, first, the cities are on life support, that's the focus of tonight's angle liberals always claim to urban life. they love mass transportation. cheap restaurants. you know, theaters, music venues, also call the vibrant social scene. but why kill what you love? and that's exactly what liberals are doing. they wonder why life in san francisco, baltimore, chicago, and d.c. has become so unlivable. well, when they wonder that, they should look in the mirror. because they are responsible for the slowed death of urban america high taxes, high crime, low office occupancy, lousy schools. this is the quartet of forces inflicted on our cities by politician activists. the same people float unscathed above the wreckage that they themselves created. to cover for their own failures, they pepper their public comments with appeals to phrases like racial equity and reimagine policing. that's my favorite. but have a bid social justice jargon doesn't hide the fact policies are driving away good peop

and omg, i agree with josh hawley -- >> love to get you out there with hunter biden. >> let's see thepaign. >> all of this is performative, performance, the entire thing and why shouldn't he do it? why shouldn't he do it? >> this is exactly -- >> this is for the social media -- >> even, you know, there's no smoking gun in this whole investigation, so far at least, that joe biden benefitted personally from hunter's business deals in china and ukraine, folks don't like it, take a look at this. look at this poll from october. 35%, that the president did something illegal, and 33%, including one-third of democrats, and joe biden did something unethical. lulu? how big of a drag is hunter biden on his dad's campaign? >> we should say there is no proof of this yet. they have been investigating for quite some time and there is no proof. >> proof of what? >> that he benefitted personally. >> i think he is a drachlgt he is like the relative that we all have in our family that we wish we didn't have and has been up to some stuff, and you kind of put them in a corner at a party and we're kind of

senate voted to advance a 2024 defense program policy bill prior to the vote missouri republican josh hawley spoke on the floor about refunding a programs providing support for citizens injured by u.s. military nuclear testing. this is about 10 minutes. >> mr. president i went out if you were to my friends that are lujan's eloquent statement of the need to do justice to these good americans who have, let's just tell it like it is, been poisoned by their own government. the been exposed to nuclear waste, nuclear radiation by the united states government. by the nazis defense department. these americans are happy to do their part for national security. theyve are proud of what they de for their country but they deserve to be recognized. and they deserve to be compensated. i want to add again my voice on support of justice for these americans that i want to say again to this body that it is wrong. it is wrong to turn our backs on the tens of thousands of americans have given their health and in many cases their lives for their country and not been recognized for it. but in many cases not been c

. >> senator hawley will try to make this as macrois possible given my 12 years.ry level of my renovation from a cadet to the front office of commandant advisory the frot office staff from 2016 until i was medically retired in 2019 for ptsd. what i observed directly in headquarters at that office where i am surrounded by the cream of the crop of leaders, senior leaders is that they implement safeguards within each other for each other. i call these people the gatekeepers. time and time again i would go to these gatekeepers, my immediate boss who was in 05 commander. 06 and that it would come to them with legitimate problems with reams and reams of data. example, 2016 we had a retention problem then and it's only gotten worse. i tried to bring this to the awareness of admirals and was told out right not to do it. the gatekeepers prohibited access to him so that they did not have to give them bad news. the reason they did this is because they were up for promotion. i hate to say it, i honestly hate to be the one to call this out but but this is the reality. this is

you write and float names like senator ted cruise, josh hawley and pam bondi, florida ag and on and onump talks about the two attorney generals who served in his first serve, particularly bill barr, it's a real window into who he might put in that incredibly powerful position. >> right. he feels that both of the men who served as attorney general for him, you know, betrayed him in one way or another. right? it's interesting because neither bill barr nor jeff sessions were, you know, especially critical of donald trump during his administration. in fact, i think a lot of critics would say they were fairly sickofantic. but because they weren't willing to do everything he said and because, you know, in the case of bill barr, for example, he wasn't willing to go along with trump's election conspiracy in 2020, he feels that they betrayed him. so, that is one position i've been told he will be focussed on, especially making sure that whoever has that job is extremely loyal to him. and so you mentioned some of the names, the senators, mike lee, josh hawley, ted cruz, pam bondi in florida. the

jing knee now missouri senator josh hawley.nistration announced another aid package today. $175 million in arms and equipment. and they want billions more, of course. and they are trying to beg congress for it. if europe is so threatened, why is europe not ponying up the money here? >> yeah. exactly right. i mean, this is in europe's backyard. this is a european issue first and foremost. and we need to be honest with them, laura, it's time for the europeans to take the lead on defense of their own continent. not least we need to look to china who is our biggest overseats threat. we need to secure our own southern border that brings me to my biggest beef here which is that we don't seem to have any money to do anything for americans. i mean, we can't secure our border. we can't any of our national security imperatives. yet, we have unlimited money according to joe biden for ukraine. it's crazy exactly backwards. >> i guess late today, early tonight, in congress they blocked aid to israel and ukraine because that's tied together

jack smith me a filing you're going to want to hear about this and against trump also center josh hawley ray on the fbi targeting of catholics versus check in with a buddy to on the bottom line next hour. >> yes we have joe biden wants more money for ukraine republican state also passed to secure our own border first. preventing congresswoman, from texas is here on that as well as the washington post saying that donald trump would make inflation worse than joe biden and simon will break that down >> it goes centers blocking the biden supplemental speaking bill because again no border security enemies close the border consider mark is up and were also going to talk about biden versus trump, and he was the real dictator around here. and ferguson joins jimmy fallon on the pedal they pick they've the people of your new will not believe it pretty top of thercho hour. ... mm. ...a "chow down" day... a "take a big bite" day... a "perfectly delicious" day... - mm.

hawley: mr. president, we're here today to ask one very simple question -- are the biggest, most powerful technology companies in the world going to be the only companies in this country, the only companies on the face of the earth, who are absolutely immune for anything and everything they do? are they going to be the only ones who can give our children advice on how to kill themselves, who can give our children advice on how to procure the romantic interests of 30- and 40-, and 50-year-olds? are they going to be able to do all of this and not be held accountable? because right now in america, they're the only companies who cannot be taken to court for a simple suit when they violate their own terms of service, when they violate their own commitments to their customers. that's what we're here to decide today, mr. president. and i would just submit to you that when it comes to a.i. and the generative technology that a.i. represents, i no he that these big tech companies, who own almost all after

. >> senator hawley i will try to keep this as macro as possible given my 12 years of experience. at every single level for my fourth class year as a cadet to the front office staff. i served on the front office group for admirals from 2016 until i medically retired in 2019 for sustained ptsd. what i observed directly in headquarters at that office where i am surrounded by the cream of the crop of leaders, senior leaders is that they implement safeguards within the safeguards within each other and for each other. i call these people the gatekeepers. time and time again i would go to these gatekeepers. i will go to my commander with legitimate problems backed by reams and reams of data. example, 2016, we had a retention problem then and it has only gotten worse. i tried to bring this to the awareness of people and gatekeepers prevented access to him so they did not have to give him bad news. the reason they did this as they were up for promotion. i hate to be the one to call this out but this is a reality. this is the reason. i just wanted to promote and they wanted to make the nex

you have jd vance, marco rubio, josh hawley, they are saying it is bad on national security grounds, you say to them, wilbur ross? >> i think that is silly. the steel that u.s. steel is making will still be made in the same mills that it was. it isn't that the nippon steel mills are going to replace them. the mills will be the same. the labor contract will be the same. the nags -- national implications of defense are unchanged. there is no basis for opposing it. i frankly think it is just people in swing states pandering to the union. larry: all right. we'll leave it there, former commerce secretary, my dear friend, wilbur ross. good to see you the appreciate it. >>> we'll switch gears, now to talk about it, katie pavlich, talk about what? borders or the lack thereof or kjp credibility. anyway, katie pavlich, got that out, editor-in-chief, townhall.com, fox news contributor, liz peek, syndicated columnist, fox news contributor. here is the former white house pathetic response to joe biden handling of the border. >> you know i take offense and i think the president does too we haven't

josh hawley bringing the heat. >> how many other parishes have you gone to to talk to choir directors? answer the question. >> no, i don't know the answer to that question. as soon as i saw it, i was aghast, i had it withdrawn. >> you were aghast. what have you done about it? did you fire the people who wrote it? have you fired anybody involved in it? >> if you would give me a chance to answer. >> it is not hard. you haven't done a darn thing or fired anybody. you admonished them. they were admonished and their respective supervisor were told to engage with the human resources division. oh, i feel much better. they've been sent to bed without food. >> that was senator hawley from missouri showing something to the f.b.i. director. brian kilmeade, your take on how it played out on capitol hill and where this goes next with wray. >> thanks for having me on. it would be so much better if christopher wray said there have been regrettable incidents but not systemic. the catholic issue. when i found out a choir director and priest and i was aghast and then talk about punishment. instead you

josh hawley who's a clown by the way, i want to be very clear like running josh spirit and josh josh hawley just tweeted that biden has answer questions because there's this rumor that ukraine blew up the nord stream two pipeline. first off, i don't know if they did if they did good, but like josh hawley was also attacking biden for not being harsh enough against for nord stream two before nord stream two was canceled. there's no there's no principle. the principle is, are we surround donald trump and donald trump is our man and whatever he wants will be for that moment. and also, let's own the liberals. it is a culture. it is a party that now exists simply on a cultural fight and not on any policies. so i personally haven't gotten rid of the title republican because once you do like as a republican criticizing the republican party, i have much more authority to do it. once i said that people don't listen to me as much and i also think there has to be a sort there has to be normal republicans fighting for the future of the party. but i didn't republican last election. i don't to vote

vance and josh hawley, ted cruz, they won't stop him. trump will not be stopped by the idea that he can't get nominees confirmed. he will simply appoint people who are asking. the new look at the court and say at least we got the court. the courts have been tremendous in terms of -- almost without exception, it doesn't matter if the judges and justices have been appointed by republicans or democrats, since january 6, they have been absolutely stellar for the most part in terms of their recognition of the danger. but think about a situation in which courts are issuing orders and the president ignores them. that is entirely likely with respect to donald trump. he's already said he is -- he has ignored the rulings of 61 courts in an effort to overturn the election. the constant demonization of the justices and judges. that is at the center of what will because of the unraveling of the republic, a president unwilling to enforce the orders of the court. gerald: the new house speaker, interestingly a recurring figure in your book, he was here

it is a play tescha hawley loves and has considered home for most of her life.rmed health care administrator, she spent six precious months navigating the federal state and native medical paperwork maze to meet with the proper specialists. she had four rounds of chemo and 60 treatments of radiation. she travelled three hours each way because that health care didn't exist on her reservation. and when she was finished with her treatment, this single mother of two, social worker, and licensed therapist cracked open her laptop and started the day eagle hope project. she provides tribe members who are sick with free transportation, gas cards, and hotel costs. the work evolved to include a food pantry with local produce and organic buffalo and cow meat, and mental health services to combat high suicide rates. yes, montana is a beautiful place, but it offers spiritual healing because of tescha's eagle-like wisdom and grace. >> pririor to my d diagnosis w cancerer, i thoughght my life e based onon my profesessional ca anand my educacation. and it w wasn't untitil after

financially, i will hav e a problem, you a have b republican senators,rs jd vance, marco rubio, josh hawleyrough. t and they wilhrl make the argument that you made 5 years ago, wilbur, if you are not making that argument today what do we do, itis sounds like the world is upps site down.id side down. no, i think they are upside down, there is is no the reason to ope oracl opeoppose this. >> no, what is the argument other than scre. >> i was 100% behind china tariffs, steel and aluminum i thought was not a goodhave idea, and they were of no consequence. however, i am surprised that you are not standing up more for them, that was a big position. and how fas a r do you go on these kinds of things? >> if we had not put in the steel tariffs i don't believe this nippon steel would have bought u.s.th steel. we woulde st not have had credibility about automobile tariffs. and if we didn't have credibility about that threat, you would not have all of the foreign car manufacturers moving to the u.s. you remember very well, youwe anlld i sat together and talked with some of the european and japanese car

there's one, a bipartisan bill that's supported by amy klobucar and josh hawley, the federal elections commission examining how it can regulate ai in political advertisements. but it's worth noting that regulating ai is an incredibly complex topic. this one narrow focus is one area politicians have advanced. maybe no surprise, this is in our back yard, specifically about political campaigns. >> where do we go from here? what are you watching for in 2024? where does this technology evolve if where we stand right now? >> right. when it comes to 2024, the big question i have is how apple will look to incorporate ai into their products. we've seen apple's biggest competitors -- google, meta, microsoft -- have unveiled ai chat bots aimed at consumers. apple notably has not. we know they're investing in it. reportedly $1 billion a year into its ai development. just this week "the new york times" reported that apple is going to publish and try to get live access to archives for ai. when apple unveils their ai into siri and iphones, it could push ai into the mainstream. >> all right. fascinati

one of them, senator josh hawley of missouri, has not yet endorsed anybody in this race, but he watchedt republican debate that happened last week and he called it a spectacle. >> it's kind embarrassing. name calling. screaming. i think it's time to move on. i think voters -- i think president trump's got to be the nominee. they will get to vote soon. i thought that spectacle was not good. >> there are still divisions on capitol hill about whether the members actually want trump as a nominee. many leaders on the senate side in particular don't believe he is the best candidate to bring them back into the majority. very much concerned about that. so as this race plays out, divisions continue within the gop. >> sure do. manu raju, thank you very much. >>> of course, much more later this morning on "inside politics" at 11:00 a.m. >>> foreign leaders and non-profits are calling the humanitarian effort in gaza a disaster and the white house just skipped over agrees to sell ammunition to israel escalating the debate over the u.s.'s funding of the war in support for israel. that's next. the pow

so to that end, some of the names that have been floated, josh hawley, ted cruz, mike lee, pam bondi in florida. these are people that donald trump believes will do exactly what he tells them to do. really that is the ethos that i think he hopes to reign overall his government. he wants people at the high profile level and the rank and file, people who can bend to his will because he feels he was burned by the deep state in his first term and he doesn't want to repeat that. >> for instance, he just declared he would do everything he could against msnbc the other day because he doesn't like their coverage because they're a progressive channel. what might that look like? >> he could use the justice department to, you know, try to -- there are a number of mechanisms. he's talked about trying to bring the fcc into the white house and use that to decide which networks he can punish or shut down, revoke their license. msnbc is not -- it's a table network. >> not gov ernd by the fcc. >> right. he could try to use the justice department to provide innovative new ways to crack down on them le

and hawley and blumenthal but forward a bill or a framework i guess they call it that i think is pretty good. but right now, it's sitting on schumer's desk, and schumer has to decide ultimately what legislation is put forward. so there are some good proposals. amy klobuchar and john thune, senators, have also put together something interesting. there's an interesting bill from ted lieu. a lot of legislation around, but really what we need is for the senate and for the speaker of the senate to come forward with something concrete that actually has substance, and that's up t sh chuck schumer mostly at this point. >> gary marcus, thanks so much. we'l'll be rightht back. >>> billie jean king is an icon, a champion, and a trail blazer. cnn anchor and chief political correspondent dana bash sat down with the tennis legend to learn about her career, the twists and turns of her personal life, and her fight for equality. a fight highlighted by competing against bobby rigs in the so-called battle of the sexes. >> here comes billie jean king. >> a massive television audience. 90 million people wor

. >> house with republicans like mike johnson, and a senate with people like josh hawley and mike lee, they won't stand up to him. and what is also important in this regard is that he is not going to abide by the rulings of the court, and people need to pause and think about what that means. >> what does that mean? i mean, it sounds like a full blown constitutional crisis if the former president says i will not abide by the courts. >> that is the definition of a constitutional crisis, and liz cheney says you can't be for trump and the constitution, because they are in opposition to each other, and for a party priding itself on constitutional conservatives, and that should be more than enough reason to pause, and not only the praise for dictators and the reason to have a stronger revenge on the political enemies, but that prospect of the constitutional crisis and the fundamental disrespect for law and order, and for good republicans to stand up like liz cheney has and too many of them drummed out, and too many of them by cowardice and careerism, and too many cowing to him, because it i

now, we haven't even mentioned josh hawley, j.d. vance, elise stefanik. very strong voices for the future and it's not just on those economic issues that we have talked about so much in the past year that we are seeing growing support. social conservatism is also on the rise while liberalism is waning. that my friends is great news. really when i thought about it i thought about writing this as my last "angle" for the year. ever since the 2008 financial crisis and the rise of obama, what that meant, that many on the right and sometimes i have felt this way, i have been a little bit on the defensive. at times it's been painful for all of us to see the radical changes pushed by the left. and the weakness, utter weakness of so many who should have fought back harder and pushed back harder. but now, time to push away that pessimism because the momentum is on our side. the left has gone way too far. i like to say they have gone so far left they have left america. its supporters and the establishment, they have nothing left. i think but, what, threats intimidat

daniel hawley, whose dean emeritus at howard university school of law. you to both of you for being with us this evening. john, i wonder, do you think colorado is going to prevail when trump is where he expects to, where he appeals this to the supreme court? >> i think there's a high probability that they are going to be succeeding. that that will be upheld. they really base their decision on what is very active in this conservative scholarship right now. that is that the article section three of article 14 of the 14th amendment is applicable. the question is, how do you decide, and how do you apply. that's what the california secretary of state will have to decide i'm glad the democrats in the state and lieutenant governor are pushing to get an answer. because that's what we need our answers at this point. >> daniel, what do you think? >> i think it is a novel legal theory. so, it's one that very untested. there's not a lot of case law on this. what the colorado case gives us is really a perfect setup for the supreme court to decide the key legal issue,

july 2022 a congressional hearing, senator josh hawley is questioning kiana bridges. he asked her if a biological male can have a baby. she replied even asking the question incited violence. it was at that point i realized how intellectually weak our colleges have become. not just intellect a weakness but the ideological straitjacket they have imposed. not allowed to even think outside the welcome box. they are not universities, they are propaganda palaces. we assume they are also smart. that is how we arrived at those disastrous hearings when the president's of ivy league colleges couldn't bring themselves to condemn the genocide of jews. it is all about context. if there were carlos to harm blacks, someone would be out of school and in prison. here's where the ideological straitjacket comes in. you can be publicly anti-semitic because jews and delete ideology are professors, in an institution where everything is based on race and gender, there's no room for debate, intellectual conformity to impose divisive culture is where we are now. it has got to change, donors w
