we are also glad to have our colleague senator marco rubio to provide another introduction for senator nelson. since the two of them represented the state of florida together in the senate for several years. it's good to have my friend, the former commerce secretary joining us virtually to introduce ms. kiernan. my constituents and i care deeply about making sure nasa has strong and capable leadership. as you know, the space center is home in my state of mississippi. we have experience in setting bills and policy priorities for nasa, beginning with the tenure as the chairman of the space subcommittee of the house, science, space and technology committee, the post he held for six years. during that time on the 24th flight of the space shuttle the experiments and in other words orbit senator nelson served as both the chair and ranking member of the committee space

marco rubio is an amnesty supporter. conservatives and the mega movement do not want that.ou mentioned the mega movement. what is the situation like kissing president trump living in florida? what is his pull on the party? guest: he is the kingmaker. that is what matt gaetz and ron desantis are being focused in on. they are mega people, trump loyalists. trump has backed both of them. the swamp are trying to bring down ron desantis and matt gaetz. host: what do you think about the accusations against matt gaetz? you have -- guest: you have this jailhouse snitch sitting in trial awaiting trial on sex trafficking. he will say whatever he's got to say tuesday shave time off of his sentence. the story went for about a week and have. i'm not seen any proof that shows any of these are true. host: what makes you believe he is not guilty? guest: in america you are innocent until your proven guilty. i am not going to convict a man in the court of public opinion. i'm not seen one woman come forward. where is the 17-year-old girl that he supposedly trafficked at that is 19 now? there i

vi para marco rubio esta lecciones es fundamental si quiere aspirar a la presidencia en 2024 tiene quen, ya hay otros tres ex que pudieran subir a la palestra. trump hace dos cosas, tratando de abrir la opciÓn de si quisiera volver a la presidencia, pero si no, amenazar a los republicanos que yo todavÍa controlo la base y si no apoyases mi punto de vista, tu candidatura no va a sobrevivir. asÍ que de esta forma mantiene su vigencia. >>> crÍticos de la nueva ley electoral de georgia presionan para rehacer la norma que atenta contra derechos de los votantes, quieren que empresas como coca-cola, delta airline y home depot se opongan pÚblicamente a la ley y reagan la implementaciÓn de la norma en otros estados podrÍan enfrentar boicot de no apoyar esta mociÓn. >>> y el prÓximo 11 de abril elecciones en perÚ, todos los peruanos estan obligados a sufragar, de otra forma serÁn multados, brenda brito nos cuenta mÁs. r el domingo 11 de abril de 8 de la maÑana 4 de la tarde centro de convenciones en tampa serÁ recinto para que peruanos residentes en la florida central participen en la democracia

meanwhile, marco rubio is calling out manford. he sent manford a letter asking whether manford plans to give up his membership at the exclusive augusta national golf club where the masters is being held this week because the club is in georgia. in his letter, rubio said the decision to move the all-star game will have a bigger impact on countless small and minority-owned businesses than the new election law will ever. he also said the decision wreaks of hypocrisy. >> michael steele, far be it from me to say positive things about little stunts that marco rubio pulls. i think he embarrasses himself a lot. in this case, he's got the mlb commissioner dead to center. and he's got him that way, because, oh, oh, you can't play an all-star game in atlanta, georgia, because, well, that would be helping the state of georgia and you think they're doing horrible things, so you want to get events out of georgia. oh, okay, aren't you a member of augusta national? he actually has a pretty good point. if georgia's not a good enough state to do fw

yet another prominent republican, potential white house hopeful, marco rubio says as he sees it, donaldto run, he will not. nikki haley said the same thing. if trump runs, she won't. and what is going on here? sara, what do you make of this? these are the latest. i'm sure they won't be the last. there's others that have different views but they're not being heard. what do you think of it? >> there's virtually nothing that any republican with national ambitions would have to gain at this point by signalling that they intend to run regardless of what trump does. if he plans on taking the nomination and they're putting themselves in trump's cross hairs now, they would be giving him a three-year head start. he doesn't have a lot of his schedule these days. he can spend every day beating that person up and their bid could be over before it starts. if trump does not plan to run, then his supporters that do make up the vast majority of republican primary voters at this point will be looking for a candidate that has demonstrated sufficient loyalty to trip. so showing deference to him, not knowi

a lot the talk about marco rubio. mentioned by senator scott responding to a controversial fact check profile down playing the hardships that scott's family faced in the jim crow south. the headline was he often talks about his grandfather and cotton. there is more to that tale. here is what the senator said a moment ago on fox. >> here is what he was really trying to do. discredit my story. he was trying to discredit my grandfather and my mother and myself for one reason, because it doesn't fit the narrative that in america it's impossible for people who look like me to rise to this position. >> bill: wow. good for him. >> dana: what's interesting about that. tim scott is described by a friend of his we'll have on the show trey gowdy as someone very reluctant and receipt sent to talk about himself. he would much rather talk about policies and move on. he is being put in that position. i don't think the left realizes what they are doing. elevating his profile to the point where people think i like that guy, his optimi

marco rubio, the amazon unionization drive, you're outspoken in support of it. marco rubio saying i don't really like unions, and tend to side with corporations over them but because amazon's cultural pronouncements are bad, i now support the union sort of. seeing more of this, that republicans should use the mechanisms of regulation of the state to punish speech and interventions politically by corporations. what do you think of that? >> i take a little bit different take. i think the republican party now, and certain leaders of the party, are trying to pretend they're a party of the working class. these what they're trying to do. obviously that's total nonsense. what they're trying to do is appeal to working-class people in terms of racial politics, homophobic politics, xenophobic politics. and our job, which takes me to what we're trying to do with reconciliation here, democrats loudly and proudly have to be the party of the working class in this country and be prepared to take on the greed of corporate america, need to be passing second reconciliation bill,

we have sound from the senator marco rubio pointing to a double standard on capitol hill.e a listen i'll get your response on the other side. >> they talked to senators as to whether or not they will have to pass through the magnetometers to get into the house chamber or wear masks? >> i'll have to get you the details on that. i have been informed of all the security that is there, i feel very safe being there. >> when it came to coming together to impeach donald trump for the second time after he was out of office, they put 100 senators in the same room sitting inches apart for hours at a time over five or six days. apparently covid was not an issue then but now of course something like this, we can't have that many people in the room sitting next to each other. >> kristin: there's going to be so many fewer members of congress for that joint address tomorrow night. >> the senator from florida, marco rubio, made a great point. to get the disparate viewpoints on this. is it good for one side. depending on what's happening to have everybody crammed into a small space. if it'

senator marco rubio trying to call mlb commissioner rob manfred's bluff asking him to practice what he preaches, writing in a letter yesterday. i'm under no illusion you intend to resign as member of augusta golf club. to do so woe require a personal sacrifice as woke virtue signaling moving the all-star game from atlanta. moving the all-star game from atlanta will actually hurt the local economy where 30% of businesses are black-owned. over half of the population in atlanta is black. the revenue loss from the all-star game going away could total more than $100 million in lost tourism revenue to the area according to one official. but when you're looking at the voting laws, the reason why mlb moved the game out of georgia to colorado, when you compare the two states, colorado has fewer days of early voting than georgia. 15 days to georgia's 17. both states require a valid i.d. to vote by mail and in person. they also both allow no excuse vote by mail. but politicians on the local level in georgia could be having the biggest impact on businesses that are choosing to take a political pos

i guess -- but again, it is the coercion that bothers me but what do you make of marco rubio and somehe party of the worker -- and so they're embracing unions. what do you make of that? >> well, well peening it is a false argument for one reason, you know, look at dan's figures. at the height of the union membership it was slightly more than a third back in the 50s. so that meant two-thirds of the economy was not unionized today we have a flexible economy we learned that in covid. that can respond, i think workers have different needs. and the best thing you can do for a worker is have more employers competing for his labor. that's what drives the prees up. that's what makes -- employees treat workers better so to me this is trying to impose a template from the 50s to the 70s, big labor big capital that's not the reality of today's workers. >> all right we have to take one more break when we come back hits and misses of the week. ♪ ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ the tempur-pedic breeze° makes sleep...feel...cool. because the tempur-breeze° transfers heat... away from your body. so you feel cool... nig

marco rubio when asked whether he backs gaetz said i don't know anything about the case.hat up for so long. >> right. and look, i think when i hear marco rubio, it takes me back a few years to hearing republicans over and over again say oh, i i don't read that tweet by donald trump. i don't know much about this. i can't comment on it. the irony is that matt gaetz is not a popular person on capitol hill. they don't like him. but donald trump has been sort of tepid in response to the gaetz thing saying he's denying, denying and what is being played out is the trump playbook that effectively, republicans learned you can deny anything until there is some disposition one way or another in the justice department case. so republicans are hanging back. the only person who called the charges sickening is liz cheney of wyoming and she wouldn't comment any further but you'll recall that gaetz went to her district to campaign against her after she said that donald trump should be out of office. >> and "new york times" reporter katy benner who shares the story joins us now. you and yo

but senator marco rubio is ripping companies like delta air lines what he says their hypocrisy going after georgia while working with china which oppresses muslim uyghurs. on the border, disturbing findings a shocking number of women and girls sexually assaulted trying to cross the border illegally. caught on camera, dramatic video shows ruthless human smugglers dropping toddlers over a border wall. we learned a 10th facility is opening up to handle surge of mike grant children. where is president biden, vice president kamala harris, elizabeth warren, alexandria ocasio-cortez? biden's border czar harris has yet to hold one press conference about the border. here is what the administration though, here is what their priorities are, raising your taxes. biden focused on tripling taxes as a percent of gdp versus what bill clinton did in order to fund a new spending blowout. even biden's commerce secretary gene ma raimondo says middle class taxes will go up to pay for spending spree. watch out democrats if you keep this house you could lose the house at midterms next year. we'll explain.

>> i have chatted a few times with senator cruz and marco rubio i had more substantive conversations senator menendez and also senator padilla for those that are hispanic. look forward to working with them. not those that have been sought after when it comes to working with hispanic members of the congress and immigration reform it is a big responsibility passing the modernization act and senator menendez introduce the citizenship act which would be an important platform for comprehensive immigration reform. but it's about creating job opportunities and investment opportunities and access to education. to get from poverty to prosperity with homeownership and every one of those areas we have a responsibility now that we are at the table to ensure the latino and hispanic community will not be left out. host: senator chavez from new mexico held amazing hearings in 1946 talking to world war ii veterans know you are there more than 75 years later in this body systemic racism is still an issue in the united states what are your concerns around systemic racism with the american southwest an

for marco rubio. they have not forgiven him for the way he treated president trump in the 2016 primary. host: elaborate on that. guest: he was talking about president trump's hand size and things like this, and it got petty during the debates. also, marco rubio is an amnesty supporter on the southern border. conservatives in the maga movement, they don't want that. host: as you mention the maga movement as it were, president trump living in florida, what is his power or pull on the republican party these days? guest: he is the kingmaker. that is the way it is. that is why matt gaetz and ron desantis are being focused in on by the mainstream media, because they are maggot people -- maga people. they are trump loyalists and the republican establishment are trying to bring down ron desantis and matt gaetz because it is part of the maga movement. host: what do you think about the accusations against matt gaetz? guest: i don't believe any of them. you have a jailhouse snitch, sitting in jail, waiting on tr

marco rubio has totally changed his position on immigration, and is inconsistent with where he was in3 when we last went through a comprehensive round for immigration reform in the senate. i think that the opportunity lies here. let me be clear about one thing, which is that democrats have a number of other tools at their disposal, if republicans do not want to engage in bipartisan negotiation and conversation, and real engagement to get this done. democrats are not off the hook this year. they can no longer go into 2022, next year,nk and tell voters tht they promised and they are going to promise again and they are going to deliver in the next term. that is no longer a credible argument. let's try for bipartisanship, let's try and work on something with republicans in the next couple of months. and if we can't get to an agreement with the other side, it is incumbent, critical for democrats to use every tool at their disposal. one of the tools they have is the budget reconciliation process to try and get as many people as possible. steve: i am interested in the other dimension, which

i mean, everybody else is tells a comeback a comeback florida republican senator marco rubio is joiningtor legislation to get the cruise ship industry moving again, but an effort to pass the bill was recently blocked here in the senate. but clearly disappointed that my colleague from a washington wind when injected this common-sense proposal, washington democratic senator patty murray block the bill saying the cruise industry prevent future outbreaks well, seekers anyone else to see a return to travel. we cannot cut corners. >> doing so risks lives and will only further delay returning to normal earlier this month. the cdc issued a set of technical guidelines to help cruise companies prepare their ships to start sailing again. but scott and rubio say they're still no clear timeline here. the only industry america that only has been told that can't reopen but has been given no guidance. the florida senator's hope cruises will set sail by july 4th. >> the cdc says the next phase will include trial voyages to practice covid-19 protocols with volunteers. >> before bringing passengers on boa

steve: senator marco rubio says he will not attend a joint session of congress.ome issue about seating but senator joe manchin will be there who is a moderate member or a conservative wing of the democratic party, and he has been a guest before on "the bottom line." i sometimes wonder if joe manchin were not there, would joe biden need to create him. he does create a different kind of dynamic in the party, a live are very frustrated. i would love to get both of your snapshots on the role and presence and meaning of joe manchin in these times. josh: i would say, it is possible that joe biden would need to invent him because he does allow him to sort of create some leverage back and forth with these different wings of the party that so far, he has done a pretty good job holding together with him. the real people who would need to invent him are probably the seven or eight democrats who, in a lot of these cases, have similar qualms on issues of substance and in me cases, on these meta-issues of filibuster, bipartisanship, collegiality, all this kind of stuff. it is

senators like john mccain and jeff flake who used to really drive this agenda for the republican party marco rubio has totally changed his position on immigration and he's inconsistent today with or he was in 2013 when we last went through a comprehensive round for immigration reform in the senate and so i think that the opportunity lies here but let me be clear about one thing which is that democrats have a number of other tools at their disposal if for publicans do not want to engage in bipartisan negotiation and conversation and real engagement to get this done that democrats are not off the hook this year they can no longer go into 2022 next year and. and tell voters that they promised them they're going to promise again and then they're going to deliver in the next term it is no longer a credible argument so sure let's try for bipartisanship let's try to work on something with republicans in the next couple of months and if we can't get to an agreement with the other side then it is incumbent on it is critical for democrats to use every tool or to their disposal one of the tools that they hav

i mean, you certainly had hawks, republicans like mitch mcconnell and marco rubio who said this was a bad idea. but you also had democrats, specifically the two democratic senators from new hampshire, raising some concerns about it. you also had republicans like senator rand paul and some others say yeah, actually it's a better idea that we go ahead and leave. so this isn't something that is completely clear-cut. and you know, one thing i did hear over and over again as i spoke with sources this week on the hill, especially those with ties to the military whether those who served or those who have large military presence in their states and districts was that we should take a moment to stop and think about at this does mean to the troops on the ground. because there are so many americans who have spilled blood, sweat, tears, in afghanistan, and so many families back at home who have borne the burden of this war for so long and a relatively small group of our population especially compared to past conflicts that really convulsed many more families and were more widely felt among all of

was an ally of his, he is kind of staying out of it, as have other top republicans like senator marco rubiogaetz was a congressional district, in the western part of our state, showing the border with the state of alabama, there are a lot of people who are either flat out not believing it, they think it is �*fake news', to use that expression, or saying there are not enough details, so for now we will hope — we will wait and see. you know, part of it is this is all kind of unwinding in the time of great polarisation in this nation at a time when there are certain voters who do not trust the media. there is a bit of that going on right now. gary, talking about that phrase, �*fake news', it is one mr trump has used rather often, he has rather held back on matt gaetz, what do you make of that? well, there have been some rumblings suggesting maybe he wanted him to come to his defence, some of his advisors saying, no, you shouldn't do that. he has been a tireless defender of mr trump. time and time again he spoke out against the impeachment, he has sided with him on everything, regarding coronav

marco rubio sent a letter to the commissioner of baseball who removed the all-star game from the largely city of larnlt to the largely white city of denver because he's fighting racism. rubio asked him if major league baseball will now end its engagement with nations who don't hold elections like china and cuba. and if he intends to resign as a member of the augusta national golf club located in georgia. make them live up to their own rules every time. look coca-cola. to get into their annual shareholder meeting, you need quote, a valid photo i.d. aned a in mission ticket. and delta sent out a weak statement about how much they objected to the georgia law. but they require travel documents to travel within the united states including a valid u.s. government issued photo i.d. or a passport from your country much origin to travel through security. so to fly to attend the coca-cola shire holder meeting you need a photo i.d. but to engage in the most sacred public activity you don't need a photo i.d. because it's totally racist? okay. tactic number 2. you don't have to outrun all the bears.

you before here is marco rubio. do they have a shot at this?inting people to vacancies. the courts have been where they have done things for 25 years but couldn't get done, couldn't get a bill passed in congress, couldn't get a bill passed by state legislatures so they went to a court and got it done. now that there are conservative judges interpreting the constitution the way it was written on the bench they have a crisis in the courts that needs to be looked at so this is a pure political ploy, hardball politics. it is sad it is not being covered that way by most outlets but that is what it is. brian: the only way to pass it is to get rid of the filibuster. do you think democrats are on board with this? many of these guys are lawyers, they have to have respect for the constitutional process. it has been in place since 1869. >> privately, they would tell you they wouldn't do it because once you do that, you add 2 more justices to the supreme court you can get the majority of that you are pointing and on the other side, 30 people, 40 people, th
