we need more people like john cornyn in the senate who are willing to take a stand on this issue. >>pening coming up? i see that opening on a state level. it is a good question, on a federal level because the republicans now control the house, there are several republicans that favor gun reforms but not nearly a majority. not even one tenth of republicans in the house favor gun reforms. so nothing is gonna happen in the house. that means that for the next two years at least the action is gonna be at state level. i do think that you will see that in states such as michigan for example. which is now a democratic-led legislator, and democratic governor. pennsylvania. the same thing. i think you will see these actions take place. we just saw federal action, i think he will say the actions on the state level go forward. >> matthew lippman, thank you so much for speaking to us. >> thank you. >> and just ahead, some economists expect their companies to start laying off employees. while more tech giants are already doing the same. plus, the a i powered program chat gpt is taking the tech wor

for example, senator john cornyn in texas, more republicans voted for senator john cornyn in texas then voted for donald trump in 2020. that is what the official results say. same thing in nebraska. senator ben sasse, who i do not like at all supposedly beat donald trump in nebraska. that is to save more nebraska at republicans voted, they voted for sentence they did not vote for donald trump as president. now, all of these things combined gave americans i believe a lot of legitimate reason to question the selection, that election. hold on the minute, hold on the minute part she got mailed in ballots is taking six days to declare a winner. you got these really odd results, split balloting for the last important braces are getting more votes than the vote for president. the left did absolutely nothing. not one thing. not that media, not the democratsnt, not the president elect at the time for the vice president alexa. they did nothing to explain what their version of events were. of course they can cite and they would say what you want us to explain? an election is an election, the votes

now that those documents are in mike pence's office, concern from john cornyn and others that this appears to be wider spread problem than perhaps we ultimately know here and also some calls to continue an investigation into this matter. james langford just told me moments ago the senate needs to look into this. that is not something dick durban who runs the senate judiciary committee that democrats were in the senate wants to do how how will the house republicans decide to pursue this? they have launched an investigation from at least two committees about joe biden's handling of this. what will they do about mike pence? we have not heard from them yet because the house is not in session but will later today and it will be -- we'll see if they decide to expand their investigation, look into mike pence or keep it focused on joe biden, abby. >> and elliot williams is with us. manu raises an important point. there's real questions here about how classified documents are being handled. i wantouo listen to how pence described the process and how it went on when he was in office. >> early in the

group of senators that are going down to the border, i mean mark kelly as well, kyrsten sinema, john cornynthat that they're in contact with the white house on trying to develop a plan to put legislation forth, even if it is something that house republicans strike down? >> reporter: that is exactly what the white house would like to see happen. even back in december, when we were talking about the lame duck congress, the president was hopeful there was a possibility to try to explore something there, and what was put forward was not able to proceed, so when the president unveiled these new actions last week, he continued to call on congress and said that meaningful comprehensive immigration reform, something that a senator he worked on and vice president, we like to see that happen, but again, it is just one of the most unmanageable, intractable issues that the biden administration has been dealing with, so this is something that the president will continue to call on lawmakers to work on, in terms of that bipartisan visit, i think another major topic that lots of them have been talking abo

the bill failed in the senate before and texas republican senator john cornyn emphasized that de-escalation did make it out of the bill and passed. i think here you saw. >> an overreaction and excessive use of force that could be prevented if the police for properly trained in de-escalation training. however, with this recent tragedy, horsford is confident more lawmakers can work together to get something to the president's desk. we can come together to pass a bipartisan. >> culture of policing law. now horsford says he invited the parents of tyre. nichols to the state of the union so they could speak with the president and congress on what they want to see next. >> reporting live in washington. i'm basil, john basil, with the republicans controlling the house, how likely is it a bill like this is going to be passed? well, this time it seems unlikely that republicans would side with democrats on this. but the thing to remember is the fact that this police reform legislation was from back in 2019 and democrats believe that because the that came out showed exactly what happened and because of

we have jerry moran, chris coons, chris murphy, kyrsten sinema, john cornyn, thom tillis, myself.d group that is here to be able to look at the different issues. we are having great conversations with border patrol and union leaders in different business unit leaders and community leaders. we see the flood of people coming across. not only coming across, climbing over the fence, but the way they are actually doing it because the border patrol is occupied with so many thousands of people, it leaves the border open to come across. >> brian: we have this thing for parole now for five nations, but 120 have been represented, including last night. you treated out two pictures of chinese nationals being arrested by mounted border patrol. what are they up to? >> we walked up as a mounted patrol and engage with chinese nationals and climbed across the fence. they were running through the bush to be able to get into the main part. there's a pretty short window in this particular area of el paso, that if mounted patrol and others don't encounter them, they'll be right into a major city and d

and you have bipartisan senators to the border, over the past couple of day, kyrsten sinema, and john cornyn, chris coons, and many others, and they are going out there and saying, we need to fix what is happening at the border, we can't just talk about it all the time, we've got to actually do something about it, they sound like they want to put forward something along the lines of a comprehensive immigration reform bill, something the white house would certainly like to see, do you see any way for an agreement in the senate, with the white house, to get through the republicans in the house of representatives? >> it is uphill but the only person who has ever put forward a plan is president biden. and you know, i don't agree with every part of it, but at least he is trying to tackle the problem. this is common sense. what we need is more funding for border security. and more funding for processing asylum claims. and being able to process asylum. and i wish we could get that agreement. i think it would be progress if the senators were willing to talk about with president biden. look, for anyo

working with my friend john cornyn we said, pulled the alarm bell on the questions concerning semiconductors the chips bill. i think whether it's advanced energy or biology, artificial intelligence, we are seeing china invest in a level that we have never faced before. the soviet union was military and ideological threat. it was never technology or economic threat. i think this is an area where there is a lot of common ground. i think we can work together and mike and i have developed a relationship over the last year. we have got incredibly important oversight to do. the thing that keeps me up at night is this technology competition with china. >> i want to thank senator warner he is absolutely direct. we are working in a bipartisan way. we have met several times and talked about when we both have the chairman manships intelligence committee work to keep american public safe. national security. threat to our nation is changing and make sure we are responsive. i want to thank him for -- you know, outreach and the in fact we are able to work here. we realize the things we come to agreement on

things are weird when john cornyn is a voice of reason and our politics.l play out for congress. >> we've already seen that on the next two weeks. what i think though, there could be a tipping point we have centreville construing more than releases statement like you just read. doing more to actually support the language we're gonna hear from democrats. that's when your condemning republicans in the house. that's something we should stand by and keep an eye out for we will have. gridlock for portions of we've not seen in a very long time. and that makes republicans on the senate side so afraid. my follow-up question is, what are you gonna do about it to make that change? i think that's where the condemnation it's the current between mcconnell and mccarthy like we saw the end of last year's when he went to the government funding bill. we know house republicans for no fans of. expect more of that chaos internally with the gop. >> against the backup of the chaos, i want to go back to the messaging chaos. is this not an opportunity to win the messaging game of
