together, we have a leadership team, it has elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and joe manchin and mark warner, because we all have to talk to each other and realize we need each other, that is the secret to the success here. the caucus unifying, every person realized we needed every other person to have this victory. it would be nice if republicans would join us but they didn't. i thought it was a little bit hypocritical of mitch mcconnell to say we did it bipartisan. when trump was president, democrats in the minority, works to get something done. now we are in the majority they don't seem to want to work with us but we are going to get it done anyway. we prefer them to work with us, we want them to work with us, maybe they will change their mind after this but we are going to get it done regardless. americans needed and that is what we did. we didn't let anything get in our way and i was confident from the get-go. i told that to the president. he called me. i said i knew we would get this done and i appreciate being under joe biden's leadership. he put together a great plan that was just ri

mark warner is right.hich i used to be part of as ranking member on the intelligence committee, and the foreign policy committees of congress, joe biden would be screaming if he were chairman of that senate foreign relations committee, should have gotten fuller notice. it's also true that congress should do more to replace those authorizations to use military force enacted right after 9/11 that are completely irrelevant to what's going on now. we have done 40 military actions in 19 countries using the 2001 aumf which just applies anyway. i think it was the right thing. and on the malign activity of iran, i never believed that the agreement that was struck by the obama administration prevented us from calling iran on its malign activity. we should still be talking to iran, they should expect that we can walk and chew gum at the same time. hopefully they can do, and they have an election coming up, and i think this is smart action. chris: ben, what do you think we learned this week about president biden and

let's discuss with senator mark warner. he's the chairman of the senate intelligence committee.hanks so much for joining us. what do we know? what do you guys know about these possible plots targeting the u.s. capitol linked to this crazy conspiracy theory about march 4th? >> well, wolf, first of all, the intelligence that i've seen that's now been released to the press is i think a bit of an overabundance of caution. at least i'm hopeful. viewers may wonder why march 4th. that was the historic moment of inaug inauguration. some of these slightly crazy folks are believing i don't know whether the former president is going to materialize or they'll have some other action where things will dramatically change. that being said, we have to take this notion seriously. let me be clear that there is a great deal of enhanced security around the capitol. we have fences. there are still national guard troops. there's a level of security that i hope and pray will not have to continue much longer. we've not seen any evidence of accumulation of crowds coming into the city. and this mostly se

democratic senator mark warner of virginia joins us now. senator warner, thank you for joining us. president biden just signed this legislation. he has a prime time address tonight. how should biden tow the line between celebrating these accomplishments and making sure americans don't let their guard down, given that the pandemic is still out there killing more than 1,000 americans every day? >> well, jake, i think you hit the nail on the head. you don't want to go out with a mission accomplished kind of banner, you want to say, we see the light at the end of the tunnel. i think we're all tired of the masks, were all tired of social distancing, but you can feel the economy coming back, you can see the numbers get so much better, we're up to almost 2 million vaccinations a day. i think if we hang in another 60 days, we're going to have been way over the hump and if you can couple that with this major package, which will put money in the pockets of americans, it will get us -- get those schools back reopened in a safe way and there are a whole series of smaller parts of the bill that

you know bipartisan dialogue democratic virginia senators mark warner and tim kaine say this is a cause both sides should come together on a lot republicans and democrats propose amendments to make it better i think if we do that we can get a bipartisan president biden has already voiced his support to the house led bill which now moves on to the senate reporting in washington, i'm kelly meyer. >>house democrats have passed new voting rights legislation. the bill would require states to automatically register eligible voters and restore voting rights to convicted felons. >>under the bill states would also be required to offer 15 days of early voting. in an effort to prevent gerrymandering the bill would require congressional districts be drawn by bipartisan commissions. the bill now moves to the senate where it faces opposition by republicans. >>4 states are rolling back mask mandates rejecting the advice of the cdc about the risk of covid and the variance spreading across the u.s.. governors in texas, mississippi, montana and iowa. are now urging their residents to open up 100% and the

. >> joining me is mark warner, the chairman of the intelligence committee.declassified version itself is stunning enough and is in complete contradiction to what president trump and attorney general barr were putting out. >> we shouldn't really be surprised by this report. our intelligence committee over the last four years have documented by full volume unanimous bipartisan interference in 2016. their continuing use to trying to interfere in our elections in an ongoing bases. the idea this is news should not shock anyone. it is cheap, effective. they have intervened in the brexit vote and french elections. we also shouldn't be surprised that the trump administration down played this or people close to donald trump were being knowingly or unknowingly manipulated by ukrainian and russian agents to spread false rumors about joe biden and to promulgate russian propaganda. we have gotten better in terms of keeping the russians and others out of our electoral system and there should be credit to the man who ran the organization and got fired by donald trump for p

joining us now senator mark warner, virginia democratic senator, who chairs the intelligence committee and serves on the senate rules committee and participated in the joint hearing on the january 6th -- >> andrea, i just want to say i'm not sure, and i say this in a bipartisan fashion, that ron johnson is endearing himself to all his fellow colleagues with his reading of the bill. maybe he -- only the word you could use on tv but that would not be the first word to my mind. >> i was being slightly -- >> i know. i know that. i got it. i got it. >> i know he's endeared himself to you as well for many of the conspiracy theories he's floated about antifa having been involved in the january 6th. let's talk about the security threats on a serious note because for the house to back down, some would say, and not be in session, admittedly they are waiting on the senate, waiting on the cbo scoring and all of that before the senate can take up even the procedural votes today, but that said, should they be shutting down the business of the house just because of these online threats when they're s

kevin: yes, between people like senator mark warner, the chairman of the intelligence committee, evenan extent senators tom cotton and margie blackburn -- and marsha blackburn. i even go out to lawmakers like tom garamendi. he has urged for there to be more diversification. i think you will see over the next couple of weeks and months people like senator chris coons, a democrat from delaware, put together some type of package as it relates to china, but the hope from what i am hearing, based upon my reporting, is tha t this type of package will be a nonpartisan bill that will move through congress, similar to the bill a few years ago that senator schumer and i believe senator cotton were able to push through in terms of investment to diversify supply chains. lisa: a nonpartisan bill is hard for me to wrap my head around right now. i imagine a fraction of $3 trillion. how could this be constructed? what could the size of the consensus bilby? does that mean that this effort really has to be piecemeal, a number of different bills spread out over months or even years? kevin: i think this

and the one top democrat senate intelligence chairman mark warner suggested that the house was acting out of over abundance of caution and that is not how the senators have reacted because a lot of is revolving around internet chatter. there are not demonstrations planned and none that are happening so they feel generally secure in the building even as they say they take the threats seriously. but the more perhaps more significant thing here is they need to get this covid relief package done if the democrats want to meet the deadline to get the bill done by march 14th. because they are moving into a series of very complicated and long days to get the bill out of the senate. now today we do expect the bill to be formally introduced, a senate version of the bill that passed the house last week. a $1.9 trillion proposal, once it is finalized. once that comes out, then we're going to see both theatrics and a lot of votes. and then there will be -- the bill will be introduced. ron johnson expected to request a full reading of the 600 to 700 page bill and that could take ten hours alone and

elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and joe manchin and mark warner. time and time again, we respect each other's views. we talk it through, and then we move forward successfully. and that's what i believe we will continue to do in a big, bold way. we have no choice. america needs it. >> when do you think we'll start seeing the first judicial nominations move forward? obviously, the trump administration did that in a machine-like way. they put hundreds of judges with lifetime tenure on the courts. we haven't seen any judicial nominations from this president yet. should we expect those soon? >> yes. i have been working with the white house and urging them that, you know, they put so many right-wing -- some of the people who they put on the bench were people -- i hate to use all these bad words, but they're just horrible. they have no understanding of walking in the other person's shoes. they're narrow, right-wing, often young people. we have to restore the balance to the bench. and that's of great urgency. and we will. and i am already discussing the fi

one top democrat at the senate intelligence committee chairman mark warner suggested it is a bit of a overabundance of caution that the house democrats are taking because the intelligence is mostly internet chatter in his view. certainly concerns to be had about what people are saying about the threat to the capitol, but as we know now, major demonstrations like we saw on january 6th, also on january 6th second guessing of mike pence and his role in certifying the election that day, second guessing from some trump allies. i talked to one just moments ago, louie gohmert a staunch trump ally and conservative. he said essentially that perhaps that mike pence was having second thoughts about his decision and essentially having some concerns that mike pence suggested that the election was not -- there was no integrity behind the election because he didn't align himself with the trump allies during the january 6th session when he actually certified the electoral results. i asked this trump ally, louie gohmert, whether or not he believes joe biden was legitimately elected, he would not say t

underboss of the party, some ways it seems like he's running the joint, but it's other people, mark warnerwho don't want to get rid of the filibuster. the majority are open to change and there are only who are just like kill it altogether. how do you get them to come on board? the ones who are reluctant, who are afraid that republicans will come in and just vote out the civil rights act if they get the majority? >> all over the world we have parliaments that the majority rules. the majority party wants they get most of the time. there's nothing wrong with that. that's what democracy is all about. and i think that people are not aware of the fact that our country is not working well. we have a lot of things that we need to get done. the american rescue act, we got it done because of a recken silluation. we've got a lot of things we need to get done. we need to get infrastructure, create jobs. we have during those highways, bridges, dams, water systems, sewer systems. we can't do that with a filibusters. republicans said they're going to oppose everything biden wants. >> well, and it's not j

willingness to raise taxes on wealthier americans and on businesses, but i'm not even sure that like a mark warnerg to figure out how to pay for a bill that was $10 trillion in size. >> no, i don't think there's a chance in the world that that actually ends up being the final package that gets through house and senate. they're obviously trying to stake an opening bid in this debate. but, again, there is this assumption that joe manchin will be the only sort of -- the moderates will be a major problem. i think progressives see this as a longer, messier fight than the original covid bill. biden, basically framed that bill from the start. it was $1.9 trillion. it was deficit financed. this one, he wants to pay for it. there's going to be an argument about tax hikes. so the progressives see this as something they can tease out and fight over a longer period of time than in a short covid bill. >> the other thing you've been reporting on is the flip side of the coin, the folks in exile, namely former president trump, who we played a little bit of the interview we did yesterday, earlier on in the show, a

that meets on monday nights, and it has elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and joe manchin and mark warnerl have to -- we have to talk to each other and realize we need each other and be united as a team. and that is the secret to the success here. the caucus unifying, every person realizing that we needed every other person to have this victory. sure, it would be nice if the republicans would join us but they didn't. i thought it was a little bit hypocritical of mitch mcconnell to say we did it bipartisan. yeah when trump was president democrats in the minority didn't block things, we worked to get something done. now that we're in the majority they don't seem to want to work with us. but we're going to get it done anyway. we prefer them to work with us. we want them to work with us. maybe they'll change their minds after this. but we're going to get it done regardless because america needs it and that's what we did. so we didn't stop. we didn't let anything get in our way. and i was confident from the get go. i just told that to the president. he called me. and i said i knew we'd get thi

the democratic senator, mark warner, he said over the weekend he wished the biden administration had given congress more of a head's up. he said, i wished the biden team would have given congress greater knowledge and greater warning. given the criticism you and other administration officials, the trump administration, when they struck syria back in 2017, why not go more out of the way to loop-in congress? jen: there were notifications made through the appropriate committee chairs. there has also been an offered of classified briefings. anyone that likes a classified briefing. we included a range of notifications on friday. in terms of the strike in 2017, that was a strike of -- excuse me -- that was an attack on syrian militant -- military installations in response to a chemical weapons attack. this was in response to a threat and attacks that threatened the lives of american men and women serving overseas. they're both different in policy and legal justification. reporter: one more question. from former president trump over the weekend speaking at cpac -- jen: i heard that. reporte

democratic senator mark warner ask republican john cornyn have been leading that charge and of coursee can't forget about the mucsic industry it allows artists to write off the cost of producing their records up to $150,000 a year. >> people have not been able to earn a living. they've not been able to tour. they're not doing live shows there's so many people that are struggling, and it's been millions and millions of dollars that they've lost. so for us, this tax break, and it's really not a break, it's the ability to deduct, just kind of starts to make a small dent in some of the money the music people have lost. >> now, this bill does have support from republicans and democrats, so shep, it could get by with a little help from their friends in washington. >> ylan mui, i have one question a hearing on capitol hill today looking at whether washington, d.c., should become the 51st state, what have we learned? >> well, shep, this debate has become front and center for indic ind democrats as a voting rights issue. d.c. mayor muriel bowser made an impassioned plea it is possible the hous

a story stemming from the sunday shows yesterday shows mark warner talking about those serious strikes- syria strikes, defending them, but saying they got minimal heads up before they occurred. [video clip] >> i think the iranians are always going to test a new regime. when iranian proxies are putting our troops in iraq in harm's way, there needs to be punitive actions taken. i think the biden missile launch was appropriate push back against the iranian proxies. there needs to be a guarantee we are going to protect our troops. i think you can create a dual tract where you guard our troops, but also potentially reopen conversations with the iranians, but they will continue to press any opportunity they see. i think the biden action was appropriate pushback. i wish the team would have given congress rater knowledge and warning. we had a heads up about 15 minutes before the attack took place. i think it brings into question a whole debate around authorization of military force. something my friend has been advocating for almost a decade. >> again, that was senator mark warner from virgini

mark warner, senator warner?> to my good friend senator toomey, i think states ought to have some flexibility. but i do think we need a federal minimum wage. it's not a top end wage. and when $7.25, which is still the minimum wage in virginia because it's not adopted a change, that does not allow any reasonable family to put food on their table or a roof over their head. i think the idea of a national minimum wage makes an enormous amount of sense and if states want to raise that above that, that ought to be their choice. no one in america should be working full-time and not be able to feed their family or put a roof over their head. thank you for appearing. i have spent a long time on this issue of how you actually make capitalism work for a greater group of people. i think capitalism, when it really works, has taken more people out of poverty than any other system. the chairman and i have had lots of discussions on this issue, and i respect his passion on these issues. but one of the things i think you're showi

elizabeth warren and bernie sanders on the one side, joe manchin, mark warner on the other.ht when i first came in, oh, how will he do all that? have an impeachment trial, we have the president's cabinet, you have the american rescue plan. well, we did -- i think we did a good, fair bipartisan impeachment trial. we have most of the president's cabinet installed and we can get a lot done as a unified caucus. i will do everything i can to see that continues. >> but everything is on the table as you said. i want to play mitch mcconnell. here is what he had to say about the passage of this $1.9 trillion bill. >> this wasn't a bill to finish off the pandemic, it was a multi trillion dollar trojan horse full of bad old liberal ideas. president biden's own staff keep calling this legislation "the most progressive bill in american history." hardly the common commonsense bipartisanship that was promised. >> your comment to the criticism from the republicans that some of this is targeted at the pandemic but most of it is not? >> what part doesn't he like? does he not like giving check

marking staff again. so we're starting to open back up godeilla versus king kong, the warner brothers, which is a division of time warner, which is a division of atnt 122 million dollars this weekend. internationally. that's. 30 poll now is open in the united states is they a little bit. this is going to be on hbo max as well as in movie theaters. but only about 50 person really theaters next. gates are open with very limited so maybe on monday we talk about how it pulled in 12 to 15 million dollars be a 122 million. lot of people watching on hbo. max right. hollywood to winter. but honestly me and my children. we're winners. the movie is not getting the greatest or he has. but we're stoked and excited put our names on the list will be watching on cable. we're going to hear sneaking out tomorrow afternoon. opens. bob odenkirk that came out with a new movie last week importing about success 0.7 million. okay. for universal trying to rebuild kind of that. gap body kind of superhero, i could relate to and i almost went i have not been vaccinated yet. otherwise i was not got to that that get back to normal no
