guest: we have a lot of time to figure out when jon tester is going to be replaced. he will be replaced. he does not represent the people of montana. over the next 12 months they'll make a decision about who they want to replace him. host: as far as your own interest in the position? guest: i've always said that all i want to do is serve the people where to be the most effective for them. i am going to do my job here is kitty congress -- in the congress until i do something different. host: donna, republican line. your own with representative rosendale. caller: good morning. i think biden the spent money like a drunken sailor and i notice he panders to a lot of different groups in the country. he hands out money and i just read that green climate fund will be $1 billion richer from thursday after president joe biden gives it a cash donation courtesy of u.s. taxpayers. he can just write and give money away like he wants? guest: i think -- i would like to say it is me to say they are spending money like a drunken sailors because drunken sailors spend their own money an

. >> reporter: senator manchin along with senator jon tester of montana cast doubt on president biden'slabor secretary. the two of them plus a couple of others could sink julie su's nomination if they vote against it. stuart: in the new york post, strong stuff, it reads biden's corruption is enough to disqualify him from office. congressman pat fallon from texas joins us. why hasn't hunter biden been prosecuted yet? >> it seems as if the whistleblower who is a senior supervisory agent, if what this person is saying is true it is because there's political interference to prevent a prosecution. stuart: what has hunter biden done that would be criminal? >> we think there could be influence peddling and settling political access. we are going where the evidence leads us. there are 200 suspicious activity reports generated by the biden family activity. usually generated from a financial institution when there's fraud or money laundering suspicions. what does hunter biden do, millions of dollars reined in from foreign nationals, it is odd. stuart: the irs whistleblower says he has receipts to

don't think english should be the language of our country, i'm looking at you joe man chen and jon testerer runs in ohio, it's going to put them in a really precarious spot for them to say english should not be the language of our country if they're forceded to vote with the democrats on this. >> greg: very clever. kat in the green room you said it's about freaking time. speak english or get the [bleep] country. and then you spilled a cup of scalding hot coffee on that immigrant housekeeper. she's still in the hospital >> kat: only the second part is true. i have to say obviously this is a political thing. this is not like the top of my list of things and i say that as someone who loves the english language i'm obsessed with the english lambing, i like to speak the english language like to get compliments in the english language. but there's different provisions that immigrants need to learn it to become citizens. i think you should be able to come here and speak whatever language as long as you can like pay for your own stuff. that to me is important. i'm more focused on the economy and

but montana democrat jon tester once accountability writing this, "we knew all along china's invasionairspace was no accident. there is nothing more important than keeping america safe and i will hold the biden administration accountable to ensure freedom and privacy are protected. the pentagon added yesterday they believe the chinese spy craft was not able to gain much more information than satellites can already collect, ashley, todd appearance bill alexandra thank you. former director of national intelligence john director says botched the spy flight from the beginning. listen. what they did in afghanistan, they deny and deflect and then when all else fails, they tried to blame someone else. they tried to say we didn't shoot it down because of safety reasons. that wasn't true. and they said the chinese weren't getting anything and we were able to block information. that wasn't true and then the trump administration, too and clearly did not. so, they were intentionally dishonest as they often have been, unfortunately when it comes to national security issues. it is cover up to one f

candidates from th ballot it's all part of a scheme to defeat the popular incumbent democratic senator jon tester. republicans think he benefit from the current system, which allows third-party candidate to siphon votes from their nominees the montana's taken quite a fe steps -- rollback democratic norms. in 2021, the republican stat legislature tried to end the statewide elections of supreme court justices and instead hav those justices elected b district, which, of course means the legislature coul gerrymander the map in support of conservatives, the same yea they also successfully changed the states voter i. d. law t ban the use of student i. d. s from montana colleges, makin it that much more difficult fo young people to participate in local democracy. according to one republica legislator, her party change the rules because, quote college students tend to b liberal, and quote i love when they say the quiet part out loud. in wisconsin, republicans ar already threatening to impeach a liberal state supreme cour justice who won last week by 1 points because they are worrie that they will she wil

senator jon tester was not happy about and he said in february i didn't biden should have shot down the spy craft over his state of montana when it was first spotted by citizens. a reporter there. it's home to ballistic missile silos in china survey. intestate tweeted this. no all along that china's invasion of our airspace was no accident. and i will keep holding the holding the biden administration accountable. senator marco rubio the top republican senator intelligence said that they repeatedly downplay the spying let's watch it together. >> everybody knows that this was done for espionage. nobody believes -- i have never heard from anyone in the intelligence community that this was from benign purposes. if it was for benign purposes then why do we see more than playing around? >> harris: let's hit this quick lease some weathering headlines biden's the laying down in the spy now reach even more. in another, biden's hot air, but the spy balloons. richard, he has a lot to say the american people about this issue have it imagine now that we know that they were able to envelop time, also

let's talk specifically about three senators, democrats, joe manchin, jon tester, and mark kelly. are casting doubt on or at least not fully expressing their views on the president's pick for labor secretary. two of them we should point out, manchin and tester are up for re-election in red states next year. senator manchin also helped craft the inflation reduction act. now he says he is having some buyer's remorse. >> they know exactly what we agreed upon. this was energy security, and you have not heard the word energy security out of their mouth since it was passed. it is all about environment. if they don't change, then i would vote to repeal my own bill >> reporter: other democrats joined republicans in criticizing the president's handling of the border. congressman henry cuellar of texas comes to mind there. across the board conservatives are piling on the president today, not just because of his policies but also they say because of the way he announced his run for re-election. >> can't even go and actually do a presidential announcement like most presidents do for re-electi

i mean, jon tester. reason no one knows what is right. but the salt no. sorry. sorry. cnn wisdom swearing on cnn blue. yeah i gotta get them renting. i do think i do think it's part that that that that that that that legislators didn't understand it, but i went there over the summer i went to d c with the journal jacob, who wrote the book with me, and we had meetings, some of which i talk about the books in which i can't talk about. and the general attitude was, you're probably right. but i'm sorry, sam beckman freed has given us too much money. that's an blankman freed gave did the democrats $40 million. yeah his lieutenant gave the republicans 23. i believe the total is somewhere around $90 million in this draw donor scheme that is alleged to have happened. they bought them up both off and they bought them off, not necessarily in the sense that they passed bad legislation, which they could have done. there was a bill called sam's bill. that was going, you know, through the ad committee, potentially but they kept them from doing anything that was actually would have s

make calls, not just on her behalf and not just on another dm democrats behalf but on senator jon tester'sat is going to help get that senate seat across the line especially in a state that honestly joe biden isn't going to fight for nor should he given the dynamics at play so we are really looking ahead how can these local races, not just win for their own sake but help gin up turnout for the rest of the democratic ticket. >> let me go back to what you said earlier, which is that you're getting this record number of people who are interested we see that zooey zephyr, justin jones, justin pearson all just pretty much took office, and are they representative of what you're seeing? give me the broader look at who's calling you and saying i want to run. never done it before, give me some help. >> well, one of the cool things about this particular wave is that more than half of them are coming from historically red states they know that -- >> really? >> yeah, they know that the odds are long they know it's going to be hard. and they know that for the most part, most national organizations aren

i'm the old guy from 'up.' [ laughter ] >> steve: people are cruel >> jimmy: and finally, senator jon tester "you think that's bad i'm having an affair with my barber's wife and i think he found out. [ laughter and applause wow. >> steve: wow. >> jimmy: they're trying to help well, here's some big political news i read that president biden is planning to announce his re-election campaign next week does biden even need to campaign i mean, he's run for president three times, who's gonna be like, "i got to learn more about this guy?" [ light laughter ] yep, the announcement will be early next week. biden said, "before getting down to business i just want to enjoy coachella. [ laughter ] well, speaking of coachella, today the final weekend kicked off. yep, so between coachella and the new "super mario" movie, it's been a big month for mushrooms. [ laughter ] yeah, a lot of people are excited for the second weekend of coachella i actually just saw an ad for it check this out >> this year's coachella has the most packed line up. bad bunny, blackpink, blink-k-182, bjork, boygenius, buburna boy, b b

jon tester a perfect example, a clear obvious pickup opportunity for republicans, and if they can nominatetake that seat back. try to work with him rather than against him, and i can't really fault him foror it. >> but is it all about lack of quality candidate, brendan, or are there lessons from 2022 that daines and others in the gop may not have yet learned? >> there were lots of problems. don't get me wrong. and i don't think anybody should be running as a trump candidate, but to get to the general election, you have to nominate somebody. you have to have a enominee, an i thinky. they understand that donald trump cann be a force fo good here. he could also be a force for really hebad, and if you get on his badd, side, he can put you a really bad position. this is very much playing a little bit of defense to play offense. look, we got a lot of problems, but if you can't get somebody who can win a general election, you're starting from way behind. that's what this is really all about. i wouldn't read anything more to it than steve daines thinks that he is going to be a better job, which is

i'm looking at you, jon tester, and i'm looking at you.d whoeve whoever runs in ohioto put is gg to puthem in a reallyious s precarious spot. for them to say english shouldpa no t be the language of our country if they're forced to vote with the democratsforcei very, very clever, very clever cat in the green room. you said it's about frickin time. let's speak english or get theh out of my country and then you threw a cup of scaldingpilled hot coffee on that poor immigrant housekeeper. immigrant she's still in the hospital. only the second partho is true.t heno, look, i got to say,true. i obviously, thihas political thin ,i .g. i don't thin k this is the i top of my list of things. and i say that as someone who loves the english language, i'm obsessed with the englishthe language, like to speak. >> i like to speak english language. i like to get compliments in the english language. compliments in the english langua but i mean, there's different provisions in it that, like immigrants need to learn english to become naturalized citizens, that kind of stuff. thmean, i think that to in order

let's lock it is going to run in michigan because debbie stefano is retiring jon tester, the incumbent in montana. rosen in nevada browning, ohio, casey in pennsylvania, who announced today bob casey, he will run for re election for that seat mansion in west virginia hasn't declared his candidacy yet, but you look at these here and these are each one of those is potentially tough races presidential year, but they're all winnable for republicans. if you have a good candidate, you're at least competitive. the question is, does trump get behind? candidates who can't again and whose and really, can anybody manage him? and that's what's going to be tricky right? if trump loomed large in 2022 when he technically wasn't on the ballot, as of right now, he's the front runner for the gop nomination, so he will be on the ballot in 2024, right, and he's a albatross in the general election. so i mean, what danes has to do you have to picture him as like this mad science is trying to perform some type of alchemy here because this hasn't been done in the last seven years. i like that mad scientists a

as my friend jon tester says, my friend, the farmer from montana says, his daughter is having to fight for rights that her mother never had to fight for because her grandmother won these rights. and now we're rolling it all back because the supreme court majority that donald trump made possible after all of these years, after all of this effort to strip the american people of this freedom has decided if it's not a right in 1868, it's not at right today. so 18 states have banned abortion. nine have no exceptions for rape or incest. there have been now restrictions on freedom to travel, madam president, texas famously has put $10,000 bounties, it's like the wild west all of a sudden. where if you are a friend or a neighbor who is driving somebody to -- to access abortion services, you can -- you can get charged -- and you catch them, somebody catches you, says you shouldn't have been doing it, you can get a $10,000 bounty. in florida, in the sunshine state, i think florida is the third largest state in the country. you know, one of them. third largest state in the country. in broad dayli

bipartisan work on this issue, including the chairs of the congressional fire services caucus, senator jon testermontana. there are also many organizations who helped us better understand the needs of our firefighters, and i want to thank them too. let me just mention them briefly, if i may. the congressional fire services institute. the international association of firefighters. the international association of fire chiefs. the national vol up tier -- national volunteer fire council. the national fallen firefighters found foundation. and the national fire protection association. i don't think it's an,ageration to say we could -- not an exaggeration to say we couldn't have done this without their work and dedication. even today. most of us in this body will go to bed tonight and turn off the lights, go to sleep, and not have to worry about being awakened in the middle of the night to go out and save somebody's life. we're not going to have to be disare you married with our own families -- disrupted with our own families or personal lives to go out and lend a hand where there's been an outo or tru
