we have a proposal in consideration by -- in conference with the ndaa that would allow the navy to buyssels instead of investing in new vessels to increase the number of used vessels we can buy. as you know that's a growing capability gap for us as you highlighted. and we need to close it quickly. we can do so at a tenth of the cost by -- we've already done the market analysis. we know which ships we'd go after and a tenth of the cost of buying new. so for $30 million instead of $300 million with a minor upgrade in a u.s. shipyard we will have the sea lift that we need to move ground forces where they need to be in order to bring effects to bear. the other thing i would mention is the future naval force study assessment that was completed recently, and will be briefed to staff up here on the hill tomorrow. one of the big takeaways, i think, are logistics vessels and the numbers increase significantly with respect to the requirement and i think it's noteworthy and nothing we as a department need to put a higher priority on with respect to procurement. thank you, ma'am. >> thank you, >>

bret: you would've sustained the vito on the ndaa?> what's at stake is our military inner freedom, i'm the daughter and granddaughter of veterans and were the fifth-largest date for veterans and active duty military in georgia i have fought for our military and made sure we get the funding that we need and we will continue to do that, if we don't win on january 5 our military will be defunded and worse. bret: that's not a yes or no whether you sustain the veto or not. >> that is right. >> okay you're not answering that, senator joe manchin democrat from west virginia has said voters in this runoff should not be scared that chuck schumer will get unlimited power because mansion according to him and others will not vote to kill the filibuster. what do you say to senator mansion and others who are saying that. >> we know what chuck schumer said, he said he's going to take georgia and change america and he told us exactly what is going to do he's going to make d.c. a state and we have two democratic senators for republicans to win the maj

polarized that the end of the session with trump calling for its total repeal, associate with the ndaa, then associate with stimulus checks and if think you can have to navigate that so we have her and then on the house side with frank pallone at the top of the house energy and commerce. jan schakowsky still be important as head of the consumer protection subcommittee. i think that the senate judiciary judiciary is going to have to play a role but senator feinstein has said she is stepping down. >> guest: one more i would add is senator mark warner likely will be headed senate intelligence committee, and -- he's a a pretty outspoken cric of facebook and twitter after they decided to band the president picky said it was too little, too late. i expect him to play a pretty large roof. >> guest: more i would add is senator amy klobuchar for minnesota. she is going to become the chair of the senate judiciary at the trust committee and she has said she intends to do a lot more with that subcommittee. they generally only have a couple of hearings for your but she said she might be interested

>> she was supportive ndaa and for it initially, but she's continuing to fight for this president andhe's down here on the ground making sure that our focus is on january 5th. making sure that we turn out the vote because the future of our country is at stake, and she's really excited about welcoming the president back on monday night. >> and we're looking live at pictures of kelly loeffler in jefferson, georgia, northeastern georgia campaigning. and stephen, from that campaign, thank you for taking time today. >> thank you, griff. >> and on sunday, bret baier is live for chris wallace. and he'll talk to senator kelly loeffler. check your listings for time and channel and sunday night bret and martha will have a special preview of the runoff and howie kurtz how they're covering covid aid on media buzz at 11 a.m. eastern. >> president trump is tweeting about his upcoming rally. and he's going after democrat and republican lawmakers who have everridden his veto of the ndaa, the first veto of his administration. hi. >> the president's party needs to win at least one of the two seats in t

it was section 230 over which he vetoed the ndaa, the big defense bill was one of a handful of reasonsress simply overrode him. i do not think there is appetite in congress or it is unclear yet there is. i do think we are going to see him rail against it. he said he might set up his own social media company of some kind. likeption to jump onto one parler are dwindling. the other is conservatives including his own son donald trump, jr. said it is not as fun having a social media site that is all conservative talking about everything they agree on. i think he is in bit of a bind. he loved twitter. it is not like his list of social media it was twitter and other things. a was twitter, big gap and couple of others. to lose his first love when it social media has got to be grading. he is not muzzled. there is a press corps sitting at the white house right now. he could go up to the podium at any moment and say what he wants. questions shouted at him as he walks away and that seems to be dissuading him from doing it. twitter but with the ability to make news the traditional way presidents ha

remember, it was section 230 over which he vetoed the big defense bill, the ndaa.mply overrode him on that. i do not think there is appetite in congress or does not care there is. i do think we will see him rail against it, and he has said he might set up his own thing, his own social media company of some kind. a. his option to jump onto one, like parler, are dwindling. we are seeing that the platforming spread. conservatives including his son sayed is not as fun going on a social media site that is his son saying that the it is not as fun going on a social media site that is just conservatives. he is in a bind. lovedt twitter. -- he twitter. it is not like his list of social media is twitter and other things. so, to lose his first love when it comes to social media, has to be grating on him. i would add, he is not muzzled. he is still the president of the united states. there's a press corps sitting at the white house right now. he could go right up to the podium at any moment, and say what he wants to say. that would be questions potentially, for doing that, or

if you ask the average voter about ndaa, few would say that's on their minds. you ask about section 230, president trump's grievance about liability law, i doubt they care about it. more significant is david perdue in quarantine will miss the monday rally by president trump here in georgia. he's essentially been forced off the campaign trail in the final days while his opponent, jon ossoff, has a full schedule, touring many parts of the state today, yesterday, and in the coming days. i have spoken to a number of republican voters, i was at a rally that was held by kelly loeffler. voters are concerned about other things like control of the senate. big part of the republican message. and president trump's message that the election was somehow illegitimate has taken hold, even though it is groundless, among voters. >> thank you both so much. >>> coming up, i'm talking to msnbc legal analyst joyce vance about the new effort to delay certification of joe biden's victory. >>> let's turn to the coronavirus pandemic. in new york, despite covid hospitalizations climbing

we found billions of dollars for a defense package for the ndaa. this is not a matter of resource, this is a matter of prioritizing the american people. we can walk and chew gum, and we must. because we must do the work of preserving our democracy, and we must do the work of mitigating the hurt that the american people are experiencing because of this pandemic and the economic hardship that it has wrought. you know, listen, people don't know if they're going to be evicted tomorrow. they can't purchase life-saving medication. they can't purchase diapers. they can't -- they do not have the peace of mind and security that they need to weather the duration of this crisis. and that must be our priority is keeping people safely housed, keeping them fed. then we must continue to center the american people in equity when it comes to the distribution of this vaccine. and we are already seeing very stark disparities in access along racial lines, which is why myself, senator warren, senator markey, sent a letter to department of health and human services aski

interesting, neither perdue or loeffler participated in the vote to override the ndaa veto and neither have said how they would have voted if they had actually been in washington. >> ryan nobles, everybody's got georgia on the mind. thank you very much. >>> let's talk about the upcoming senate runoff. congresswoman elect, chair woman of the democratic party. good morning to you. i look forward to talking to you when i can say congresswoman. >> good morning. >> good to see you. thank you for being here. we're going to get to georgia in a minute, but i do want to ask you about something that's happening tomorrow. you're going to be sworn into congress in time to vote for speakership of the house. speaker pelosi's aides are estimating she has a ten vote margin. she's running unopposed. will you vote for speaker pelosi? >> absolutely. i'll be voting for speaker pelosi. i actually was one of the people who seconded her nomination during our caucus meeting to determine who would represent our caucus in the full vote for leadership. speaker pelosi has shown us that she's strategic and she's w

what's in this ndaa? $740 billion that includes 3% pay raise for troops and a boost in hazard duty pay and it provides billions in upgrades to military systems and requires renaming of military bases that honor confederal generals. president trump objected to that last point. and the provision that gives broad legal immunity to tech firms. while there are republicans that support calls for tech service reforms, for them this wasn't the bill to make that point and they say it has nothing to do with the military. >> let me ask you another political question, alex. 2020 is over, but we're still in the 2020 election cycle in a way because we have these big senate runoff elections coming up in georgia in just a matter of days. what are we expecting to see in the three days until the vote starts? >> reporter: well, dan, we're just three days away from those georgia runoff elections and already 3 million georgians have cast ballots, but there is a late twist. senator david perdue and his wife are now in isolatio

mitch mcconnell is currently snubbing and disrespecting president trump, overriding his veto of the ndaa move the $2000 stimulus checks that president trump and president-elect biden and the american people support, why president trump wants to work so hard to try to save mitch mcconnell's majority when mcconnell is treating trump as a lame duck president. >> your opponent, senator perdue says he's quarantining after being in close contact with somebody who tests positive for coronavirus. he's campaigning remotely. what's your reaction? do you think it will affect the race? >> i hope that david and his wife bonnie remain healthy and free of co-vid and i wish the best for their staff and supporters. this just speaks to the need to take this virus seriously to fully resource the public health response, to get economic relief to people hurting, because this disease continues to ravage georgia. it continues to ravage the country. i'm glad they're taking those precautions and i urge everybody tuned in right now into this new year to take precautions, maintain social distancing. follow cdc gui

presidents don't think the law matters, then they need to address this waiver issue in this year's ndaa. mr. speaker, america faces extraordinary threats from strategic competitors like china and russia, rogue nations like iran and north korea, as well as terrorists and other transnational enemies. it's more critical now than ever to strengthen our military, address mounting readiness problems, and modernize our conventional and nuclear forces to defeat these threats. i believe general austin understands the threats that we face. i believe he respects the principle of civilian control. i believe he will stand up to the efforts of many of the democrat majority who seek to slash defense spending and rewrite our defense strategy. i hope the rest of the bidened a shares -- administration -- biden administration shares his commitment to providing for the men and women in our -- in uniform and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from washington is recognized. mr. smith: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself

the export control reform act, and as part of the ndaa, the anti-money laundering act of 2021. the treasury department plays a major role in implementing these statutes and managing our relationship with china through the office of terrorism financing and the interagency process for export control decisions. do you agree to commit to work with me as the treasury department moves forward on the export control decisions, foreign investment and modernizing our anti-money laundering secrecy provisions as well as beneficial ownership rules? dr. yellen: you have my pledge that i will work closely with you on these very important matters. i want to thank you and congress for passing a law that will enable us to identify beneficial ownership of shell corporations and will it make a big difference in our ability to address terrorist and approve the effectiveness of sanctions. sen. crapo: i appreciate your ascension. senator stabenow is next, i believe she is remote. sen. stabenow: thank you to senator crapo, congratulations on your incoming position and to senator wyden and senator gras

and one way or another we're going to complete the 60th annual ndaa and pass it into law before this congress concludes on sunday. >> the president wanted the measure to include a repeal of some legal protections for social media companies. on twitter he said failing to do so was pathetic. mr. trump also promoted what he called the big protest to stop the steal. his supporters plan to gather in washington on wednesday as congress meets to certify president-elect joe biden's victory. late last night a federal judge who was appointed by president trump dismissed a lawsuit filed by texas congressman lieu by gohmert who argued that mike pence has the power to decide the outcome of the election. gohmert also said congress is set for a showdown on january 6th with over $140,000 house members. josh holly is so far the only senator who says he plans to object to the certification of the election results. he's also standing by president trump's push to increase stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000 a person, taking a swipe at gop senate colleagues who have not offered support. >> with all due r

that trump and biden and the american people support, mcconnell is overriding trump's veto on the ndaad disrespecting him, and yet trump is still traveling to help mitch. i'm not sure what the strategy is there. >> you're running against senator david perdue, but you have not been shy about going after the other georgia senator, senator kelly loeffler, in an epic interview on fox which has been tweeted all over twitter and i've retweeted it myself, you looked directly at the camera and you said, kelly loeffler is campaigning with a klansman. now, senator loeffler has responded, she issued this reaction in this interview to that, loeffler who said she didn't know who the former klansman was when she snapped the photo with him and that he was later removed from her event. here is her quote, every georgian knows that jon ossoff is a pathological liar and he is a trust fund socialist who has never had a job other than through the chinese communist party. there is a lot in there, so your -- your reaction to senator loeffler. >> well, my reaction to senator loeffler is i guess it's not surpr

mitch mcconnell is currently snubbing and disrespecting president trump, overriding his veto of the ndaachecks that president trump and president-elect biden and the american people support, why president trump wants to work so hard to try to save mitch mcconnell's majority when mcconnell is treating trump as an irrelevant lame duck president. >> reporter: ahead of kamala harris' trip to savannah, you can see dozens of cars being carefully screened by the secret service. there is a line on state road 21 of cars waiting to get in and dozens more in a fenced in area here. we expect to see her with john ossoff and raphael warnock sometime before sundown. mike. mike: peter doocy starting us off in savannah. thanks a lot. let's turn to capitol hill where we've got lawmakers voting on the next speaker of the house in just a few hours. meanwhile, on the senate side, vice president mike pence holding photo ops for senators in the old senate chamber there, right now, and there you see the vice president wearing a mask because of course these are covid times. but some newly elected senators, each

the senate is voting on that override of the ndaa, the $740 billion national defense authorization actnding on overseas military operations, weapons, pay raises and more. the vote is still open but there is enough support here. this will be the first veto override for president trump unless a number of senators change their votes, which is probably not going to happen. the president vetoed the defense bill because it removes confederate officers names from u.s. military ounce deletions and limits his ability to withdraw certain trips from overseas. the president wants congress to change an unrelated law that gives tech companies liability protection. the president is also pushing to increase the $600 covid relief checks. more than tripled them to $2,000. it has divided republicans. a number of republicans back the president on this. however, majority trickle majority here including those in congressional leadership say that the cost of increasing those checks is too expensive. >> a huge chunk would essentially be socialism for rich people. money flowing to households earning well into

this is included in the ndaa conference report the houses voting on later today.there is reason dust of the house is voting on later today. concern is reason for about this that the houses voting on later today. ties moscowpening including participation in the letter exercises and purchases of russian military equipment -- and military exercises and purchase of russian military equipment. considering sanctions, what are approaches or recommendations you would have for the administration, for them to consider as potential approaches to the u.s.-serbian relationship, recognizing some of the challenges we see that might be posed by the serbian-russian relationship? sec. albright: i think we have to have some real talks in terms theerbia, of dealing with opposition that has not really been able to participate in anything going on there. not everybody agrees with the way they are doing things. develop a need to more functional relationship with serbia. that thepart is question is, whether we can make clear to them, that they cannot be a part and will not be a part of t

there is a reason why president trump tried, tied section 230 to the ndaa.s been rebuilding our military. they said why would he do that? he understood the centrality of the threat of these tech authoritarians who are really just woke leftists who invited to be the same cocktail parties and don't want to be canceled by that group so they follow the mob. they are ultimately doing the bidding on the left. the speeches on the floor, i'm sure you watched them, they wereunhinged culmination of four years of trump hatred. talking points were the same, whether what happened on january 6th happened or not. it is an attempt to cancel and erase the president. the buddies on big tech will do it for them like this, poof. you can't get rid of the movement the president created. that is their problem. stuart: hold on for a second, will you, pete. because i've got a story you will be very interested in. look at bitcoin. $39,650. now, susan, if you're trading bitcoin this weekend, we're told there could be possible limitations. you want to explain this for us? susan: there

we have other in the ndaa, establishing a national cyber director in the ndaa, strengthening sizes and elevating its leadership, giving it more resources. i figure that the solar winds attack is a harbinger of things to come. i'm very proud of the work our commission has done and it is critical. the final thing i would say is that this is arguably the most serious piece of legislation when it comes to deterring china that we've had in decades, if not ever, including provisions such as the pacific deterrence initiative. this is a followup from last year's european deterrence initiative. we are concentrating more on russia. this is china, that's what the whole division of this bill is about, to enhance our presence and deterrent posture in the of -- protecting against chinese espionage, reporting on chinese united front work department in the united states and abroad and the list goes on and on. it's a very serious piece of legislation when it comes to deterring china. that's one of the things we're concerned about. china is our number one threat and will be for perhaps regrettably decad

i think congress deserves credit for the ndaa provisions further equipping sisa to meet its obligations and the opportunity confronts . sisa must improve the cyber hygiene of the federal government, although many departments and agencies throughout. it must strengthen the public-private partnership not only for the benefit of the federal government but for the private sector itself . i take stock of the fact that the solarium commissions recommendation for national cyber security director was asked. i think this will require and all of government approach there's a great amount that will rest on the shoulders of sisa and i hope i have the privilege to lead the department and support sisa in meeting those obligations. >> talk about cyber hygiene, the modernization act looks at the agencies every year and decide how they're doing dhs cyber security was rated ineffective so it's not just that sisa needs to work on the rest of government, then needs to be work on the rest of house and are you committed to doing that ? >> absolutely, we need to lead by example. >> we talked about the drug is
