>> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome senator josh hawley. [applause] sen. hawley: just a year ago, they were trying to censor us, silence us. they have just told me that -- [indiscernible] --even worse than i could possibly have imagined. just look at what joe biden has tried to do in the space of one short year to this country. he has turned the fbi of the united states onto parents of the united states. treating school board parents at school boards as if they are domestic terrorists. sending fbi agent's to knock on people's doors if they have the temerity to stand up and say i don't want my kids to be masked in school. i don't want my kids to be taught critical race theory. he's tried to use the instruments of our own government, to divide us, to separate us, to turn off speech that he doesn't want, that he doesn't like, that he doesn't approve of. look at the southern border. he's opened up the southern border and has said to every cartel on the north american continent, come on in. the southern border -- sometimes we say it is chaos. that's not quite r

that statement was backed by missouri senator josh hawley, who made clear he would never apologize forrters today, quote, listen, whatever you think about the rnc vote, it reflects the view of most republican voters. joining us now to discuss this is former rnc chairman michael steele. michael, it is good to see you my friend. i need you for a fact check tonight. because on one side, we are kind of excited that a few republican senators said the most obvious thing they could say. that you cannot call what happened on january 6th legitimate protest. nobody is going too far out on a limb. in fact, it was interesting to see mitch mcconnell probably going further than most. but they're not going too far. this is the most obvious thing you could say as a republican, that this was an insurrection. >> yeah. look, i think a lot of folks are sitting here and saying, thank you, thank you for acknowledging what the rest of the country acknowledged a year ago. and i get it. i understand a lot of the politics and everything. but this is beyond the politics, ali. and i think a lot of us appreciate m

[applause] but make no mistake, the radical progressives want to wipe out diversity of thought. a nation divided will not stand. our founders created a government designed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. government is supposed to function like the referees of a football field. they regular the place and call fouls. right now, we have 700 referees on the field. they are fouling us all over the place. when government grows, freedom shrinks. for me, this has become very personal. my parents moved to alaska before i was born to pursue an american dream.

you have senator josh hawley ted cruz is gonna run again and the ones that will everybody i mentioned is not running if trump's in so if trump will if trump comes in that'll be it. so i think that he's maneuvering that way. i think that i just think when you talk about next generation to answer your question, sir, that's like seven or eight guys do stuff the top of my head. i think there's a lot of people that came out of the trump administration to have so much promise and i think mike pence did a great job. he's a fine. i'm person one of finest people. i will ever meet. and i think that he would get our country right direction. and you know, he does is very hard to hate mike pence. yeah, no, he's great person. so i'm just saying you have a lot of talent in there 40s and 50s and josh charlie's cases 30s. we're on the left. i think the reason why joe biden is even president right now is because bernie sanders could not get elected one is 80 and one's about to turn 78 so their next generation's got to show themselves, but their next generations represented by 93 people in the house, an

while josh hawley schools the biden administration for the evolving russia ukraine crisis, part of an ongoing fit to -- the administration's withdrawal from afghanistan, he's also blocked consideration of several top defense department employee appointees, including russia expert, celeste will launder. could become the pentagon's top international security official. so for actively stonewalling the biden administration's appointments with critical experience in the midst of an international crisis, and also for just absolutely terrible, senator josh hawley is tonight's absolute worst. that's tonight's readout, with chris haines starts now. readout, with chris haines starts now. tonight on all in, -- >> we are going to take our power back, we are going to seek the electors. >> hold it hold, it i think we've got some breaking news here. >> breaking news, new subpoenas for the phony elector fraud. >> december 14th, the true electors for the presidencythe e electors for the presidenc the committee notes in letters to roman and round, they have evidence of their involvement in a coordinate

, but there is this interesting trend within the conservative movement, you have senators, like josh hawleyo called on president biden to rule out invasion into ukraine. and similar sentiments elsewhere. how significant of a portion of the republican party is moving in this direction? >> i don't think it is a huge portion, but it is way too big and it is growing. a few years ago it might be something like rand paul who might say something, and now there is a significant number of folks doing it. with tucker carlson talking about how ukraine is part of russia. i think it could be a couple of things. number one, it could be nnaivete. i think vladimir putin has done a decent job in engaging in culture battles. he has seen us defending in essence. ukraine is next. already one-third of the country of georgia is occupied by russia. then you have the baltics that they're enter fearing in. this is a frightening movement. any republican who has affection or vladimir putin has no understanding of what our party stands for or what our country stands for. >> brennan: you are on that january 6 committee

senator josh hawley told cbs news the u.s.nd any troops to any non-nato country because the u.s. can't afford it. there is this movement that president trump endorsed with america first. how do you explain to voters why that view, republican view, is wrong. >> we've been down that road before. we've seen isolationism before and it has always been dangerous. america cannot defend and maintain our own security if we think we can withdraw from the world and leave. we are watching vladimir putin as he attempts to invade a democratic, sovereign nation. anyone who thinks that u.s. freedom and security is going to be maintained if we take a step back and don't lead, you simply need to look at what is happening in ukraine to recognize those who fill the void when the u.s. steps away are people like the russians, like the chinese, like the iranians. so the idea that the world will be safe and that america will be able to be safe and free with an isolationist approach is wrong. it is also wrong morally. america stands for freedom. ameri

and we'll do it again >> reporter: other potential 2024 contenders also attending, like ted cruz, josh hawleyron desantis, who opened the co state. >> reporter: and a straw poll of attendees giving trump the sizable hypothetical edge over desantis but potential other candidates not fully ruling out their own runs as everyone here waits for trump's official announcement. do you think he's going to announce >> i never give him advice >> my perspective would be the incumbent. >> reporter: open questions for a party still very much shaped by trump >>> will march come in like a lion or a lamb meteorologist bill karins has your forecast, next. >>> coming up, a historic first. rae.roanni iarng ukin want to see america, see it on the 4th of july. but america is just as beautiful on the 4th of january or february. stripped of its leaves but not drained of its color. no one experiences a true american winter the same way. but those with the confidence and capability of the all new 2022 grand wagoneer, will remember the adventure as long as they live. with microban 24, just one spray, fights bacteria al

i don't think josh hawley is dumb as a box of rocks.here america is. that's what all four of the people you showed and the four white republican senators you showed, the idea that they can say these things out loud and not only not get castigated by the party but celebrated by the elements of the base i think is why we're in this troubling moment that we are in and the other thing they constantly quote why is joe biden using quotas? susan collins said i don't think he should have said it this way. to appoint an african american woman to the supreme court it is for the only reason of a quo that. that is when you pause and think about it for a minute they're basically saying the only way an african american woman can get on the supreme court is if it's a political deal. i'll give you a stat to talk about where the supreme court is. we have had 115 justices since 1789. 115. 108 have been white men. 108 out of 115 if you want the talk about where we need to fix this problem in this, it's not like talking about what's the composure. it's wha

there is actually a reasonle senator josh hawley of missouri is one of the onlyop people in washington state clearly what that reason is. he's joining us now mean that was just such a challenge as a working single mom. you know, i felt like i couldn't accomplish anything. i felt like i was hopeless and stuck. i was working three jobs just to make ends meet. i had thirty thousand dollars in debt. so if i were to make the minimum payments on my credit card debt, it would have taken 40 years to pay off. i knew i wasn't going to be able to get out of debt by myself. national debt relief and negotiate with my creditors and reduce my debt by national debt relief can significantly reduce the amount you owe and you could be debt free in as little as twenty four to 48 months from the second i made the call their customer service department was fantastic. they really felt like national debt relief was on my side. they had a plan and that's what i think you need in order to get out of debt you need someone to tell you here's a start line. here's the finish national debt relief. get me out of debt

missouri republican senator josh hawley says democrats are only changing course because mask mandates are unpopular. what they're moving on is based on the polls. but the white house says polls are not directing policy. the public is tired of covid. we understand that. so are we. but our responsibility is the federal government has to rely on the data on the science. >> and at this point, the biden administration has not released any sort of timeline about when we might see a new guidance for now in washington, raquel martin, back to you. thank you. rick hail. >> well, employers in california must now provide covid 6 but sick pay to workers. governor newsome officially approve this plan today. he also says his administration is preparing to move from a pandemic plan to an endemic plan. our capitol bureau reporter ashley zavala has details. >> governor gavin newsome signature putting covid-19 paid sick leave back into effect for california workers. keep employees keep patrons keeping players safe and healthy and businesses open employers with at least 26 employees must provide up to 2

but republican senator josh hawley insists the government shouldn't get involved. this administration has a history of anybody. >> who speech? they don't like anybody who disagrees with them. they call terrorists the call an insurrection us. they try to use the force of the government captain says he doesn't know if the federal list is the answer, but addressing the bad behavior is essential for safer skies. as the saying goes houston, we have a problem. >> and that problem is some folks on the airplane are making it a problem for all of us in washington. i'm hannah brandt. >> back here in the bay talking 4 zone forecast. a live look here, sfo. some folks getting out of town on the friday. the holiday weekend rebecca strom joins us with what we can expect for the weekend. yeah, vicki and grant, it's going to be beautiful tomorrow. well, if you like 70's outside right now we're seeing a nice, a live shot of the sunset here. this is our camera on top of the east bay hills. a pretty clear, though, as far as seeing call the way across the bay into san francisco. just g

missouri republican senator josh hawley does not believe the vice president can overturn an election but isn't sure new legislation is needed. i would be really careful, really careful. >> about changing the law. that is 150 years old and has governed every presidential election. >> since the 18 80's, the legislation is in the early stages. the lawmakers will meet this week to develop the bill reporting in washington. i'm basil, john. >> well, talks have resumed over the crisis at the ukrainian border for the first time in weeks, russian president vladimir putin is publicly addressing the issue. he claims is the u.s. and nato failed to meet his security demands, which include stopping the alliance from expanding poland and canada are vowing right now to support ukraine in case an ahead of a russian invasion. british prime minister boris johnson met with ukrainian president yesterday to talk about that. >> we are keen to engage in dollar low. of course we are. but we have the sanctions ready. >> we're providing military support. >> the biden administration is expected to brief congres

but earlier in 21 they had canceled josh hawley. i don't know if you know of him. he was canceled by simon & schuster because he objected to certifying the election is over the same reason he was political. that's why he was canceled by a publishing company. so i want to hear from you guys have you had any difficulty with publishers not wanting to publish your book because they didn't want to promote your message? >> yes, i did. when i wrote springtime of her snowflakes, one of the things was transgender ideology. so i analyzed what was going on with the transgender ideology and i decided that it had to do with postmodernism which is a school of philosophical thought. that basically suggests that reality is determined by language. so, the reality is a social and linguistic construct that is made by language itself. and there is no out there. everything really is produced by the subject. it's very subjective vista and it's very nihilistic in terms of what i was getting at here is i talked about how transgender depends on meaning and effect. you are who you say your

here now is missouri senator josh hawley. senator, a lot of this is about the appearance of a conflict of interest, and business insider investigation into stock trades, i think ranked nancy pelosi as borderline for a number of her trades. what does the public need to understand about her, it looks like change of heart? >> what they need to understand is that her record of self-dealing has finally caught up with her, laura. the truth is, nancy pelosi has got rich off of using her position to enrich her family. it has to include spouses because nancy pelosi's husband who, for the both of them, have done much of this trading. we're talking about more than $1 million in trades each year. she's grown very rich by using her position. she's become the post child for self dealing in congress and it's time to put a stop to it. >> laura: pelosi kind of struggled to find excuses for not acting sooner to restrict these kinds of stock trades. watch. >> -- no disclosure. it has no reporting of stock transactions and it makes important dec

. >> josh hawley wants president biden to actually drop u.s. support for ukraine eventually joining tnato. does that make sense to you at all? >> i don't think that's the right move. we allow countries the right to self determination, to join nato. and i believe that would sent the wrong message, not only to ukraine, who is obviously in a world of hurt, but it would send a bad message to mr. putin, once again emboldening him, that he can take the next step without any consequences. >> congressman, thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> wolf. >>> just ahead, the january 6th select committee is poised to get another crucial window into the pressure on the vice president at the time, mike pence, to overturn the 2020 presidential election. key documents being released to the panel. >>> and we'll break down truly stunning allegations of racial discrimination in the nfl by the now fired coach of the miami dolphins. stay with us. you're in "the situation room." the all-new lexus nx. ♪ we're getting destroyed out there. we need a plan! i

and then again it is hard to imagine josh hawley raising his fists in solidarity that day to the gathering mob. yes, those were the exact words of the resolution that were adopted. the rnc chairman tried to scurry away putting out a statement saying that had nothing to do with the violence at the capitol. mitt romney tweeted this today, shame falls on a party that would censure persons of conscience. and this republican party that is a brave tweet. that is about it. heis outlier. cheney and kinzinger are outcasts despite being conservatives and the likes of jim jordan who we eluded to at the top of the broadcast, they are the ones that speak for today's gop. joining us now a conservative lawyer, george conway. clearly this was vice president pence's strongest rebuke of the former president. i wish we played the applause at the federalist society, because it wasn't like there was a rousing standing ovation and he was carried out on the shoulders of the members of the federalist society after that. >> i'm not able to judge the amount of applause on the video. the conservative lawyers for the

. >> josh hawley. >> yeah, even josh hawley is saying the january 6th people need to go to jail if theye violent, committed crimes that day. that's, like, you know -- that suggests what david is saying. they're either seeing polls or they're knowing that truth is going to come out from this january 6th commission, and they want to be on the right side of history finally. >> yeah, we're seeing leadership from senator mcconnell, as you say. we heard it from former vice president pence over the weekend as well. shouldn't be a courageous act to describe exactly what happened on january 6th as what happened on january 6th. but it is in this republican party. there is still, as you say, joe, a portion of the party that's holding out or willing to look the other way. mcconnell's comments, a marked contrast from house minority leader kevin mccarthy who has been dodging the questions, literally yesterday, when he was pursued through the halls by abc congressional reporter rachel scott. >> can i ask you about the -- >> it's not good to be doing -- >> according to scott, mccarthy did answer a ques

you even have josh hawley and lindsey graham coming out and criticizing the violence of january 6th, which is deeply ironic, of course, but both of them saying people committing crimes on that day should be sent to jail. the "wall street journal" editorial page came out with a fire-breathing editorial in support of pence and calling donald trump a three-time loser. i am just wondering as somebody like me who is seeing this as a former republican, do you see any, any trend toward normalcy by even a small part of the republican party? >> well, i wish i could join you in the optimism this morning, joe, but if these are cracks in the wall, they are very tiny cracks. they are microscopic cracks. they're cracks that are coming over a year after the event. i was tempted to say that a fair number of high-visibility republicans are breaking not with trump but with ronna mcdaniel, you know, over a poorly chosen press release. you know, i think it is understandable that when pence comes out and says trump was wrong that there are a lot of relieved conservatives, republicans or not, who are goin

. >> there's a new op-ed in the "washington post" arguing in favor of senator josh hawley's letter tohould renounce the possibility of allowing ukraine to join nato to ease tensions with russia. do you agree? >> no. i disagree. i don't think it's a crazy opinion to say we shouldn't support ukraine is somehow pro russian. i just think it's wrong. this view in washington that we've seen on the far left and the far right for years basically says that nato is the problem, not russia, that who cares about ukraine, we don't have an interest there and if we don't care about ukraine we're going to have more resources to put towards the china fight. none of those things is true. nato is a defensive alliance. they're not threatening war. putin is threatening war and about to kill a lot of people for no reason in the middle of a pandemic. let's not get it twists. is giving ukraine over to russia going to help us with china? no. putin will see that we don't care about defending democracies and he'll become more aggressive. the whole idea of nato and free and open society is that people get to cho

some very different reactions coming from what once was the party of reagan, missouri gop senator josh hawleya letter to the secretary of state asking why the u.s. supports ukraine's potential entry into nato. and adds our interest is not so strong as to justify committing the united states to go to war with russia over ukraine's fate. the biden administration is not suggesting the u.s. go to war over ukraine. lawmakers in both parties are insisting that russia respect ukraine's sovereignty. hawley is aligning himself with a pro russia movement inside the gop, led by donald trump and fox's kremlin comrade, tucker carlson. >> why is it disloyal to side with russia but loyal to side with ukraine? they're both foreign countries that don't care anything about the united states. kind of strange. >> which explains why republican congressman adam kinzinger laid into hawley tweeting i hate to be so personal but hawley is one of the worst human beings and a self-aggrandizing con artist. tucker and trump are waging increasingly a war on reaganism. reagan put the first woman on the supreme court, sandra

josh josh hawley telling fox news digital about new legislation that would lift regulation on americantion. listen. >> we need to shut down russian energy production and open our own. joe biden made an error and did the opposite, he lifted sanctions on the energy line and shut down ours, we should sanction their energy sector to its knees and open up ours. >> brooke: other republicans want biden to redevelop energy and offer to allies so they are not relying on russia. >> we have to maintain american energy independence. we could go to europeans and say, we got your back, take clean american natural gas, we'll help. we would say to the russian, okay, we're going to shove down the price of oil, you will be bankrupt again. >> carley: back in orlando this morning, we're expected to hear from marco rubio, former secretary of state mike pompeo and south dakota governor. >> carley: senator marco rubio says president biden needs to reopen the keystone pipeline because vladamir putin is weaponizing energy. watch. >> the moment he stepped into office, within two days, he cancelled keystone pipe

here now senator josh hawley of missouri.ink hillary clinton doesn't even know what she is doing. she points to vanity fair? to show how to cover something? they covered up the epstein deal. senator hawley, do you think she is aware of that. >> what i think is happening now there is was collusion after all in the 2016 campaign. the collusion was between hillary clinton and some tech executives who did, in fact, spy on donald trump who did, access his email servers. and worse than that, who went on, according to special counsel, went on to try and infiltrate that is spy on the executive office of the president of the united states. i mean, this is some crazy, crazy stuff that hillary has been involved in and now it turns out the clinton campaign was really just a criminal enterprise which is what we have known all along. somebody should go to jail for this and i hope the special counsel is pretty soon going to be talking to hillary clinton. >> jesse: can you do anything about this? you must have some sort of subpoena power. yo

gop senator josh hawley has now come out against ukraine's eventual admittance to nato.os was the first to break the news, saying, hawley is taking out of position increasingly supported by the republican base but historically at odds with the mainstream gop consensus still backed by his senate colleagues. tonight, holley doubled down on fox news. >> listen, if we expand nato it means that the united states will be providing additional security guarantees, that we will be more embroiled in european conflicts. this is not the time for that. we cannot do everything. >> here is what the white house is jen psaki had to say earlier today about hawley's stance. >> do you think it is helpful right now, in the showdown between ukraine and russia [inaudible] -- >> if you are just parroting russian talking points and parroting misinformation, you are not in line with long-standing bipartisan american values. >> joining us, eugene robinson and bill kristol, editor at large of the bulwark. good to see you, gentlemen. i want to read you this tweet from republican congressman adam kin

. >> senate minority leader mitch mcconnell joining senators tom cotton and josh hawley tonight in their outrage at president biden's justice department. they say the doj is handing out politically soft sentences, pointing to the case of blm protester montez lee jr. the 26-year-old minnesota man broke into a minneapolis pawnshop during a 2020 riot and set the business on fire. he was heard saying we're going to burn this explicative down. police later found the body of 30-year-old oscar stuart, a father of 5 inside that scorched store. >> he pled guilty to one federal count of arson but was never charged by the trump justice department with stuart's death. he could have received up to 20 years in prison but the biden justice department argued for leniency. writing mr. lee does not appear to pose a danger to the public despite a rap sheet of burglary, theft, apsalter and violating a no contact order. the judge gave lee just 10 years with three years supervised release. >> the prosecutors there have recommended below the sentencing guideline for the crime they have been charged with becaus

then you have people like josh hawley inside the republican party who are essentially spouting russian's never going to happen. so this is just not the party of ronald reagan anymore. it's the party of donald trump and the party of appeasement. >> jim acosta, thank you very much. more breaking news we're following in "the situation room," ivanka trump in talks with the house january 6th select committee about appearing for an interview, what she could reveal potentially about the capitol siege. long day, huh?

paul: i want to get you to respond to comments made by some in america particularly senator josh hawleyissouri who said that united states should essentially concede vladimir putin's point ukraine should never become part of nato. no one thanks ukraine would part of nato anytime soon. he wants basically for us to agree to what putin demands. what you think about that? >> will be absolutely shameful. and i think somewhat reckless to make that kind of a concession. putin has been pushing back on nato for 20 years to undermine it, to create divisions particular between the united states and nato members. at some point attempt to break it. that would be a concession on the path to eventually breaking nato. there would be other concessions to follow listen, if we went anything done with mr. putin over 20 your experience with him with multiple presidents, as you have to stand up to him. you have to be willing to accept some risk. it is not all about diplomacy that this administration believes. and as the obama administration believes it. you have got to show some strength in that backs up our

democrats have already signaled that they back tougher russia -- some 70% -- even missouri populist josh hawley mustard and typewritten outrage. they write this provides a huge opening for bipartisan national security and to make good on his campaign promise of unity. so would a domestic energy plan, which would play well with a public fearing rising energy prices. progressive groups are already arguing that mr. biden's sponsor be to double down on their unpopular agenda. she says that the political ramifications of taking their dictation at this moment would be catastrophic. a few months left in the segment of "washington journal" to talk about ukraine. it is the topic of our entire program, so you have two hours ahead if you do not get in. howard beach, democrat, good morning. caller: good morning. i am tired of listening to people talk about the rise of oil prices. in world war ii, we had rationing of oil and other things. in order to support our efforts. it is the price we pay to begin with for not losing lives. i am willing to pay another $2 or $3 of oil if it means saving my son. in addit

republican senator josh hawley insists the government shouldn't get involved. this administration has a history of anybody. >>who speech? they don't like anybody who disagrees with them. they call a terrorist. they call an insurrection us. they try to use the force of the government captain says he doesn't know if the federal list is the answer, but addressing the bad behavior is essential for safer skies. as the saying goes houston, we have a problem. >>and that problem is some folks on the airplane are making it a problem for all of us in washington. i'm hannah brandt. >>you're watching kron on. we'll have more news after the break. >>welcome back to kron news at noon. our top story this half hour. the european union putting sanctions on russia. this just came in to the newsroom today. this comes while president biden is tentatively agreed to meeting with the russian president. trevor shirley has the very latest details on this rapidly changing situation >>at the white house monday, president biden met with top national security officials, including the secre

troops in the region which is not in ukraine which i think a lot of people agree with your colleague josh hawleyth that. but how far are we willing to go is the question? >> i think putin has not made his final decision yet. think were one 100% right. he does use energy as a weapon. we can talk more about that. we ought to have biting sanctions in place now not later. have a bipartisan piece of legislation that we have been working on. i will tell you what is happening now is the administration has meant weak kneed on this for the been dragging their feet they want democrats to water it down. we need pressing a biting sanctions now not after innovation. what putin is talking about has been putting together the old soviet union. ukraine is the first part of that. he wants to swallow the whole thing. it is the second largest country in europe. we need to prevent that through letting him know it's going to be very painful if he tries to do it. if he gets away with it, that is the bigger problem. he needs a choke on trying to swallow ukraine. because if it is easy pickings for him my worry is trying

in a statement, missouri senator josh hawley said "the united states has an interest in maintaining ukraine'sdence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. our interest is not so strong, however, as to justify committed the united states to go to war with russia over ukraine's fate." meanwhile lawmakers on capitol hill continue to hear from experts about russia's possible end game in ukraine with more discussions now about what a full-scale sentience response might look like if the kremlin goes ahead and invades ukraine. >> shannon: and other foreign policy issue, newly leaked documents raising questions tonight about the biden administration's handling of that disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan last year, what can you tell us? >> the administration reacted slowly and was "unprepared" to evacuate afghans who helped the u.s. after the taliban took control of kabul. that according to notes or may white house situation room meeting has been obtained by axios, reporting that u.s. officials were making decisions on afghanistan evacuation hours after the taliban took over, basic decisions, had
