well, you just have marco rubio. they're saying that the military industrial complex in the united states isn't one giant financial endeavor, and that it's not driven by money. but a quick overview of the facts points to some other realities. for example, every day, the department of defense posts new contracts on its website, new contracts with private corporations, the current secretary of defense. he lloyd austin is a former board member of the corporation raytheon. and in addition to that, lloyd austin and he has owned an investment firm that bought up a smaller defense contractors and corporations that did business with the pentagon with the military. if you go through the details, there are other corporations. i mean, currently on the board of raytheon, you have a former general, you have a former defense secretary and a former admiral. if you look at lockheed martin, another major defense contractor and military corporation at 2 former generals on their board. and recently we've had statements from the u. s. s

and into mostly the, the military industrial complex currently the us, san marco rubio has had some, please, was the china saying that country's government deeply embedded with this merger industrial complex. well, i think those 2 things, the 1st is a chinese have found a way to use capitalism against us. and, but what i mean by that is the ability to attract investment into entities that are deeply linked to the state that military commercial fusion that exist in china is a concept that we don't have in this country. we have contracts of defense work, but there is no distinction in china between advancements in technology, biomedicine, whatever it might be and the interest of the state of phase can move in. so closer look at the time to do what and who's government and the defense industry, or you just have marco rubio. they're saying that the military industrial complex in the united states is that one giant financial endeavor. and that it's not driven by money. but a quick overview of the facts point do some other reality. for example, every day, the department of defense posts ne

democratic chairman mark warner and republican vice chairman marco rubio. we began by discussing the classified documents mishandled by the current and former presidents and former vice president. >> do you have any timeline in terms of when you will get visibility into the documents of classified material that both president biden and president trump had in their residences? >> margaret, unfortunately no. and this committee has had a long bipartisan history of doing its job, and our job here is intelligenceoversight. the justice department has had the trump documents about six months, the biden documents about three months. our job is not to figure out if somebody mishandled those. our job is to make sure there's not an intelligence compromise. and while the director of national intelligence had been willing to brief us earlier, now that you've got the special counsel, the notion that we're going to be left in limbo and we can't do our job, that just cannot stand. >> the intelligence community would say their happeneds are tied because this is an ongoing a

head of the foreign affairs committee of the us senate, a democrat, and he worked closely with marco rubioators. we were very determined to always keep our policy in a bipartisan perspective and we will continue to do that. we never fell for the trap of going into internal politics in the us, or in europe, for that matter. we go out to every free world, to every congress, to every parliament. we want to talk to the socialists, to the conservatives, to everybody, to engage in our struggle for freedom. right. i mean, i talked about the political tide turning against you. it's notjust in the united states. look at latin america. you know, you've lost the support of key allies in the recent past. we could talk about neighbouring colombia, which is hugely important to venezuela, where the government now is engaging with maduro, has opened the border, cooperating with maduro. look at mexico, look at peru. look at the election of lula in brazil. these are all now governments that do not want to isolate venezuela. they want to reach out to venezuela and renew a dialogue. again, the tide is against

well, you just have marco rubio, they're saying that the military industrial complex in the united states is that one giant financial endeavor, and that it's not driven by money. but a quick overview of the facts point do some other reality. for example, every day, the department of defense posts new contracts on this website, new contracts with private corporations, the current secretary of defense. he lloyd austin is a former board member of the corporation raytheon. and in addition to that, lloyd austin, he has owned an investment firm that bought up smaller defense contractors and corporations that did business with the pentagon and with the military. and recently we've had statements from the u. s. space force basically confirming their deep connection with the private sector and with corporations in the united states . from my perspective, what's so exciting to the space for some space acquisition community about all of these commercial innovation and these commercial technologies that we can use those to maintain our technology lead and over and deter conflict with our, with our co

the president never hesitated to remind me, hey, you are the marco rubio guy.th good outcomes. a chance to get interested to tell these stories, interesting, fun but also an inside look how we delivered america first foreign policy and protected the american people. >> brian: you welcome the cia and they damage june unit. john brennan you thought was worse than you thought. give us your perspective. >> he wouldn't use the word "buying." the cia doesn't spy. you should know the cia does great espionage work. i wanted to get the people back in the field. we need to collect this information so the decisions that they need, he politicized that place. you remember they had done the russian report, the the famous thing that became the basis for two and a half years of the russian hoax. this russian report and january 6, 2017 just before the president was confirmed, they went to trump and told him he was a russian accent. the book talks about this and how it impacted our ability to deliver. >> brian: kellyanne conway's book, the book nikki haley's book comes out, mike

collecting this comes after earlier in december another bipartisan group of lawmakers including marco rubio introduced the antisocial ccp app that prohibits the tiktok platform in the united states, addressing concerns about the platform being used to spy on americans senator amy klobuchar saying that bipartisan support does exist for these bills warning about the challenge that's coming from the tech lobby saying that the lobby is so powerful that support for bipartisan bills can fall apart within as little as 24 hours remember, francis, the facebook whistleblower? she backs that platform accountability and transparency act. she says the u.s. is asleep at the wheel and it is like the auto industry before seat belt laws she backs this legislation, john. >> i wonder -- let 's bring in first elon elon, it looks questionable whether the gop will be able to agree on a speaker, much less agree with the democrats on how to regulate social media so is it really going to happen this year given the political climate? >> yeah, john. right now all the drama is about the internal politics within the go

uh, marco rubio. marco rubio and it's actually becoming, as we were talking earlier, you know, one of these things that these very conservative people have to prove that they'll support so as to not run crossways with the conservative very conservative electorate that republican party of texas just included it this year in their official party platform to call a convention. so it really is becoming enmeshed in kind. the agenda of the modern far right. peter tells a story about the cheney. oh, that's a grenade. well, i was i was watching video on twitter of protesters at, an anti liz cheney rally, wyoming. and i was i was surprised or something me the video right to russ because almost everyone in the video was wearing a pro constitutional convention lapel pin and to me it was just emblematic of where we are as a country and how this issue has become part of a litmus on the right. you refer to the senator earlier about the fact that that sometimes people on the left or progressives do not take seriousl

senators marco rubio and mark warner are also guests. i'm adriana diaz in chicago.hanks for watching. good night. >>> from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. >> one state among many. >> now at 6:00, people across california in mourning after four mass shootings in a week. why activists say california's strict gun laws are just the first step to preventing more violence. >>> in san francisco, they were building bridges in the bayview district with an event celebrating black history and lunar new year. we'll have the story coming up. >>> later, human trafficking is something that remains hidden in our neighborhoods for the most part. how one woman with firsthand experience is helping victims in the bay area. >>> live from the cbs studios in san francisco,. >>> the past week was included so many tragic stories across the country. protests have been sparked nationwide after the release of the body cam video showing police beating a man to death in memphis, tennessee. >>> closer to home, it's only been a week since a gunman murdered 11 people at a dance stud

that's florida senator marco rubio.t hunter biden who had access to joe's top secret classified documents when he was staying at his house. i think i agree with senator cruz, based on his background and his associations, i think it would be prudent to examine his home. you have a trove of documents, jonathan turley writes at helping about it, at the university of delaware, but the department of justice in a letter to jim jordan requesting these documents says they will not be forthcoming because it would somehow hurt their investigation. your reaction? >> well, we've got a similar letter in the intelligence committee. it's a bipartisan letter because it was sent by the chairman, and their answers are that it would i am peril the investigation. it's a silly letter an doesn't answer the questions we asked. it's very straightforward. we're the committee in charge of making sure the intelligence agencies are doing a good job. farther of their job is to protect classified information from espionage and putting our country in

this is the doj letter to senators warner and marco rubio. one of the special counsels was appointed only on january 12th, prosecutors on both matters are actively working to enable sharing information with the committee. again, it's one more time where they said, well, we can't really say anything because we have these special counsels and we have to give them a chance to really dig through this stuff. it's a timing thing. it's a waiting thing. by saying well, it's only on january 12 these people were appointed, they're trying to buy more time. >> well, trace, everything the doj says would have made sense if they didn't act differently at the raid at mar-a-largo with president trump. you know, now doj and the fbi don't want to share information with congress. remember after the raid at president trump and the execution of the search warrant, it was doj and fbi that leaked photographs of classified documents, leaked information about what was in classified documents. the result of their search that showed up in all sorts of news stories. that

is really unclear if it is going to go far enough because chairman mark warner and vice-chair, marco rubioant to actually see the documents. >> we have a right as not only members of the intelligence committee but as part of the leadership to read virtually every classified document. the notion that we're going to be left in limbo and we can't do our job, that just cannot stand. >> reporter: vice-chair marco rubio in fact said the panel is even willing to withhold funding to intelligence agencies to get access to these documents even though he says he would prefer not to go down that road. we don't need that sound bite because i want to actually tell you about this new letter, neil, that was just sent over by the same assistant ag to now the judiciary chairman, jim jordan in response to his request for information. this time though, neil, he is actually denying jim jordan some of his requests saying they are central to the investigation. they could hurt the investigation, for example, jordan has requested communications between the fbi and the doj. he also wants to know where fiscally thes

rush limbaugh yelled at marco rubio and the plan fell apart because he turned against it.ence that republicans want more than the issue for their -- to gin up their electorate, that they want a solution? >> there is none. you teed me up, but there is none. they love this as a political election issue. and there are members and people, candidates running for office in states nowhere near the border that run on the border as their primary issue. that tells you a lot. what is true and what i think most people agree on, democrats, republican, nonpolitical people, is that the system is out dated, it's broken, it needs to be fixed. the asylum processing system is underfunded, it doesn't work. there's not enough security -- or not the right security, i should say, at the border. the wall was never going to work. that's nut the right kind of security. so there could be an actual policy substantive discussion here. there won't be. there will not be. it's all optics and politics for them. >> you know, flying migrants to sit them at vice president harris' doorstep. >> using human bei

committee mark warner and marco rubio. >> president biden is reportedly close to issuing an executive order when it comes to restrictions on u.s. investments in china. but there's concern about risking further escalation. what's your view on how far that action should go? >> the chinese have found a way to use capitalism against us, what i mean by that, the ability to attract investment into entities that are deeply linked to the state. the military fusion that exists in china is a concept we don't have in this country. we have contractors that do defense work, but there is no distinction in china between biomedicine and whatever it mightnd be and the interest of the state. the third is the risk posed we at this point have not had levels of transparency in terms of auditing into these companies. when you invest in these companies in u.s. exchangings you don't have as much information about the book keeping of those companies as you would in an american or european company because they refuse to comply with those restrictions. there's the systemic risk to our investments and then also

but florida republican marco rubio and virginia democrat mark warner left a classified meeting wednesday night empty-handed. i'm very disappointed. >> with the lack of detail and a timeline on when we're going to get a briefing. the senators say their committee needs to know if any intelligence was compromised, but the administration says it can provide that access while special counsel's at the justice department investigate trump and president biden's handling of the documents. the information we're asking for has no bearing whatsoever. i would interfere in no way with a criminal investigation. in the meantime, arkansas republican tom cotton says he and other committee members may move to block quick consideration of some of president biden's nominees. congress, most pain on the administration provide the and that is. >> that is coming from both parties. >> and the senators also agree the system in general is broken moving forward. they may try to add more safeguards around the presidential transition and handling of documents as well as adding new parameters about what exactly is clas

so when marco rubio points to the united states and says that the huge cooperation between the government and the private sector, when it comes to military matters is understandable example of the free market and our american system working quite well. and then he points to china and that always completely unacceptable. and the, you know, the government there is simply some kind of military dictatorship. he really needs to look himself in the mirror. i mean, the double standards are pretty obvious to anyone. and the nature of the militaristic us economy and the way it functions. and the way the us economy is very much dependent on war and military manufacturing out the u. s. government and the military corporations walk in lock step and coordinate their activity. that's obvious to the whole world and it should be obvious. demarco rubio, i'm so sorry i was on was a vase. i'm only back here with me. alone. welcome to wells apart. as the father of greek tragedy escalates a remark more than 2 and a half millennia go, truth is always the 1st casualty of war. in the case of the ukrainian war wi

that role both with of course former president trump in and the great governor ron desantis and marco rubio. that is a hotspot for us and we have taken a leadership role in making things happen in the great state of florida but on top of that he has wonderful qualifications as a cpa and the role he played in the number of organizations which are very similar. the regulated industries where it's essential you get the numbers right and he brings that skill. he's a team player and by the great deal of confidence and with enthusiasm i second the nomination for joe.

their big successes they had in last 10 years in dc, every time someone like senator tom cotton or marco rubio'll call it a brilliant piece of legislation to stop china's activities, what will happen, they come on fox news and talk about why it's a good idea, then en end up with 5 or ten cosponsors, and legislation goes nowhere. i can tell you. one people involved in this was nancy pelosi herself who kevin mccarthy invited her 3 years ago to form a bipartisan china task force, a holistic approach. you know what narches th nancy pelosi did in she stalled kevin mccarthy for a year, said no, and bid any democratic congress person from joining that task force, one of our best hopes may depend on changes to the republican control. in the house. where kevin mccarthy can create a select committee china with all key heads of key committees and do something. the metaphor captures what is happening right now, america first, charles lindbergh group, you didn't mention henry ford but he was involved, meeting hitler, that group is still in control of china hol policy, it should have an impact you would thi

but on the other hand i have members who came up to me and his head, marco rubio, somebody that i've hardly agreed on any number of things came up to megr and said i'm with you. i will speak up for you. i wish i could have brought my kids to the floor and he understood. and roy blunt said i'm going to be the next chair man and as soon a lamb i'm going to change the rules because i remember when i was in the house how great it was when i could. and as soon, he changed the rule for me. >> host: that is really fascinating. i consider the photograph off yu entering the building to vote pretty iconic holding your baby daughter. it's not just you as a a public figure but it's now in the public eye. >> guest: i'm very jealous of guarding my daughter's privacy. so you will rarely see pictures where you see their full face. sometimes the media has captured it but i almost never post pictures so you can see their faces. they can decide when they are of age whether they want to post pictures of themselves on social media. but it was important for me to be seen going to do my job as a working mo
