download now and get your first stock on us. robinhood. >>> we're following the breaking news, president trump now heading to his mar-a-lago resort in palm beach, florida, after unleashing a new round of chaos in washington. let's discuss with richard blumenthal. thank you for joining us. the president just vetoed the defense bill. he's putting the covid relief bill at risk after sitting out months of negotiations. why the last-minute intervention with benefits for millions of americans right now on the line? so many americans are suffering. >> it's a blunder, deeply dangerous and self-destructive, pathetic, sad, crazy. and my hope is that it will be overridden by the same kind of overwhelming bipartisan majority that both measures the national defense budget and the pandemic relief bill passed by both houses of congress overwhelmingly. and i think it should be overridden promptly and decisively. >> yeah, the defense authorization bill won a $740 billion package to fund the u.s. military. it passed the house 335-78, passed the senate 84-13. veto-proof unless a whole bunch of republicans decide to change their mind and support the president this time around. we don't know what's going to happen next week. but it's obviously very critical. does the president you believe have the leverage to get republicans to back a bigger stimulus check, let's say he wants $2,000, $4,000 for a couple. you probably want money like that as well. >> i'm all in on $2,000. democrats supported it before the passage of this bill. but president trump failed to lift a finger, nothing. he was silent. and so the question is from my republican colleagues, will they now stand up, not just speak out, but be with the president on a stimulus bill when nancy pelosi and chuck schumer offer it by unanimous consent? and frankly i was absolutely floored. you could have knocked me over with a feather when the president decided to veto the national defense authorization act because it's a real gut punch to our military. it's not only about providing cyber defense right after the most massive cyber attack in our nation's history, but also pay for our men and women in uniform, their health care, their body armor, their families, health care, more than just the weapons platforms. and i think this threat to veto the pandemic relief is absolutely destructive because it will deny stimulus payments for families, $2,400 for a family of four when they most need, aid for small businesses that are hanging by a thread, and unemployment insurance that runs out at the end of the year. >> you're on the armed services committee. one of the reasons the president vetoed the defense authorization bill is he doesn't like it includes the mandate to remove the names of confederate generals from u.s. military bases. what do you say to that? >> what i say is that military bases should not be named after failed generals who, by the way, treasonly rebelled against our nation. there are real heroes whose names ought to be on those bases. the other reason he gave for section 230 reform, i'm for section 230 reform, which provides internet websites for what they run, but not on this bill. it is irrelevant. so, it was, again, pathetic, sad, but deeply dangerous and destructive, self-destructive as well as destructive to our national security and defense that the president vetoed this bill. and if my republican colleagues are serious about all the flag waving and all the rhetoric, patriotic words, they ought to back it by action and vote for and override. and by the way, wolf, i'm very hopeful, even optimistic they will from what i'm hearing on the house side. >> i think the military needs it. if they support the military, they need the money. they need it now. let's see if the republicans and the senate in the house decide to override the president's veto. i suspect you're right. i suspect they will. senator blumenthal, thank you so much for joining us. i want you to have a happy, happy new year. >> and to you and all your listeners as well. >> coming up. how president trump's sudden call for stimulus checks are making waves in the georgia run offs where both incumbents supported the lower $600 payments. e with shea butter body wash... all i wanted was to use your body wash .. .. want to sell the best burger in every zip code?

>> wolf, it's important to point out that both pieces of legislation were thing that both david perdue and kelly loeffler endorsed and both voted for. in fact, the morning after the omnibus bill passed, david perdue was on the air waves here toutic the fact that that legislation had been passed and he was proud to support it. it no doubt threw these republicans for a loop when president trump came out and, in less chance 48 hours, undermined both these candidates. now, democrats have been quick to pounce on the president's change of mood, if you will, regarding this situation, both rafael warnock, the democrat, and jon ossoff have been saying for sometimes that $600 was just not enough. they continued to push that forward last night after president trump said $2,000 should be the number. take a listen. >> i don't know where president trump has been for the last eight months while his allies have been blocking this relief. president trump is, as ever, erratic and all over the place, but on this point tonight, he's right. $600 is a joke. they should send $2,000 to american folks, because people are hurting. >> reporter: neither perdue or loeffler have said where they stand on the $2,000 payments to americans. perdue's office did not respond. kelly loeffler kind of talked around it, said she was open to a discussion, and this is complicating for the republicans, because they have pledged undying loyalty to donald trump. on to be on the other side of an issue for the president, makes it very complicated as they go to voters asking for their vote a january 5th. >> thank you, ryan nobles. >>> stay with us

she gets very things i don't get it. so why did know when she made that selection? >> harris: our panel now, james freeman, for "the wall street journal" editorial board. richard fowler is here. fox news contributor as well. james, how important is that question that congressman jim jordan just asked? >> i think he's raising a very important question. not just about the security and information that is shared with the intel committee. pretty aggressive, broad -- but i think it also does expose relay that deceit and corruption behind the and this russian collusion claim against president trump. here was a member of the intel committee. remember nancy pelosi's party on the health of had much more extensive connections with what our government believes in his last five. not only did she help him raise money, she placed an intern in his office. interns, and go, but the ability to place one in the congressman's office says that that person, that alleged spy, had a lot of clout. >> harris: interesting. richard, do speaker pelosi of the american people are reasoning for why swalwell sits on that committee, even today? >> i don't think that she does. she can pick which members she wants on various committees. republicans are in control of the chamber, they would have the ability to do that as well. it is also really important to point out how we got to the story. in 2015, when he was alerted about this connection, he immediately cut off ties. also, the reporting shows from multiple outlets that there were other members of congress, party unknown, that works also infiltrated by the chinese. so to just sort of paint this as a swalwell situation i think is a bit blind. to do that right now, we just don't know who else who has been breached. who else was infiltrated, and i think it's really important to take party out of it and think about country and how we protect our members of congress. >> harris: i think that's a great idea, cell has broad and the like at this. she was reportedly romantically involved with some other politicians. richard brings up a good point. maybe this isn't big enough. maybe we need a bigger investigation. >> it is certainly an issue that we should be following wherever it leads. as we discussed, the fbi has talked about the many, many espionage investigations that they have right now related to china. richard, you have also raised a great point in terms of how the fbi treated this. we see the double standard that congressman jordan has talked about as well. when swalwell had this issue, how this relationship with the alleged spy, he gets essentially a friendly briefing from the f fbi. donald trump, when they have this theory of collusion without evidence behind it, is never told. his campaign becomes the subject of an fbi case. one of his associates is subject to intelligence surveillance. obviously, judges were misled and granting the warrants for that. it is very start. the difference between the fbi treats swalwell in a friendly way and donald trump in a hostile way. >> harris: you know, richard -- >> i think it's worth pointing out here -- >> harris: i have been talking with experts he is tell me what it takes to be, mark. usually an up and coming guy, like swalwell or perhaps others that fall into that category as well. go ahead. >> i think you are right. in terms of what they are looking for. you can mix apples and oranges. what happened in the trump campaign is very different. there was some evidence. whether that is true or false, the mueller report talks about that. >> harris: the trump campaign -- that's what james is asking about. to make it fair. >> well, we know that once he was president-elect, he was told, but he chose to ignore that. they went to him directly and said that there is a problem with the security advisor. and yet still, donald trump place that is present at the highest level of intelligence. >> this is stunning. i mean, the clients misled in granting these surveillance warrants, but the michael flynn gaze, the fbi people on the ground said that there was nothing there. it was kept alive with this bizarre logan act claim under which no one has been successfully prosecuted in two centuries because it is unconstitutional. the point to that investigation -- >> also went to dinner with -- >> there is instance -- >> harris: i'm going to bring you back. i appreciate you going back and forth. you just said that we need to take a bigger look at this. i think james agrees with that. new questions for president-elect joe biden and his son. business dealings reportedly a bit broader than we thought. a former u.s. attorney will tell us what to expect. what is coming next?
