let's bring in senator pat toomey.or, thanks for being here. >> hey, bret, thanks for having me. >> bret: what's your reaction to this move by the president as we see gas prices high. as we start heading into the holidays? >> it's unbelievable, bret. like, let's be honest. what was the first thing or certainly one of the very first things this president did was shut down the keystone pipeline, a tremendous source of oil. suspending the ability to drill for oil and gas in places where we have oil and gas. and so, nobody should be surprised and i don't think most pennsylvanians are surprised that prices are going through the roof. supplies are shrinking. now the president goes around pleading with opec countries to increase their production. how ridiculous. this isn't going to work. streak oil opec can decide to scale back to produce to make sure the prices stay high. you fundamentally you can't begin the process of crushing supply and not expect to see a price spike. >> bret: here is the president and the energy secreta

i have been listening a lot to pat toomey.iously he has big sway in his position in the senate banking committee. i've been listening to him quite a bit and he made a few points she is really looking at the fed as an institution that can address climate change, when it can't. it doesn't have the tools to address climate change. that is a ridiculous notion. brain advocated for inclusiveness aspect to the employment rate being included in the fed's mandate. it is not that we don't need to be adamant and diligent about getting african-american and latin unemployment rates down. it is just a tool, the fed does not have the proper tools to do this. these are more in the congressional purview and i think there are some concerns among jon tester of montana, sinema, manchin, among moderate democrats brainard might not be necessarily the right person, to be as you said powell's second in command. david: that is very interesting. some people, "the wall street journal" had an editorial about what happened at the fed and suggested that in

i would note that senator pat toomey, top republican on the banking committee who is supportive of theell nomination, there really could be some fights for other seeds if that is where the president looks to appease the progressives who weren't so happy with the powell renomination. so while there is a sidestepping of a fight over powell, republicans are starting to warn that is going to be tougher to whip the votes potentially for other seats. kailey: lisa and i will be here on friday, working throughout this long holiday weekend. they are actually only in congress for two weeks in december, after december 10. so we are really talking about a two week window here. what have they prioritized? jack: that is the current schedule. i would be really surprised if they skip to that. first of all, the spending deadline that comes up next friday is going to get kicked. there's no spending bill. the only question is when the next deadline will be. house democrats have said they want another deadline sometime in the month of december to keep the pressure on because they feel the republicans are

the ranking member the senate banking committee republican senator pat toomey says he'll support theation, however. the president hopes to announce releasing oil from the strategic oil reserve to bring gas prices down. the announcement is contingent on agreements from other nations. the u.s. asked china, india and south korea to join a coordinated effort to release reserves of crude oil. the white house hopes to circumvent opec's resistance to ramp up oil production to meet rising demand. >> the american consumer never likes to pay more at the pump, but we are focused on doing everything that we can to make sure that american consumers are not bearing the short end of the stick during these periods. that's what the president will be talking when tomorrow, taking actions where we can and make sure we can provide relief to american consumers and also make sure when the price of oil comes down that american consumers see that benefit at the price at the pump. that's not what's been happening over the last several weeks and that is a concern we have here. >>> now, curious minds want to k

congressman conor lamb, a member of the problem sol solvers caucus and running for the seat held by pat toomeyoo is retiring. thank you so much for being here. i wanted to have here you because this began in your congressional district. didn't president biden make the announcement and pitch on your home turf? >> he did. yeah. he came to the carpenter's hall back in the spring and he promised that he would fight for a hume investment in infrastructure put americans to work and crucially with american made materials. he has some of the strongest buy american steel and other provisions ever. and he actually followed through on it. and it is notable to us because president trump did the exact same thing multiple times and never even really tried to follow through. and i think pittsburghers know the difference between those two things. >> what accounts for the difference on the other side of the aisle when compared to the senate. in other words, mitch mcconnell and 18 of his republican colleagues voted for this in the senate and yet in the larmer house of representatives, only 13 republicans by the

indicator of where the democratic party s.divided over him buff overwhelmingly beeeoc the republican pat toomeyso supports the nomination so i expect this to be confirmed despite the complaints from the left. >> another reason biden could take a different course is all the heat over inflation at the moment. the president doesn't have many powers to do anything about inflation. the president could have replaced powell just to make clear to the people out there in the country who are suffering the higher prices at the pump, the higher prices at the grocery store, i'm going try anything, but this is essentially the president saying no, no, i'm not going to take it out on powell. what will he do? >> this is him showing that he has faith in powell's ability to kind of put a check on inflation as that's really the top issue right now for this white house. they are trying to confront. you know, last week biden asked the fdc to look into practices by gas and oil companies to see whether or not they were perhaps pricing gas higher and whether there was any irresponsible behavior there, but the president

senate seat trying to replace outgoing republican pat toomey. how much do you think the build back better and infrastructure bills will help democrat, help you potentially flip this seat? >> i think they're going to help a lot. you know, in different communities, they have different priorities, within our state. but just the infrastructure piece. it is what comes up in so much of our state. that you have towns that were doing better 40 years ago than today. they need new investment. you know? that's in all different forms. road and bridges but also internet. water systems. power plants. it's putting local people to work on those local projects. because pennsylvanians are proud where they live and want to stay there generation after generation, but you need jobs for that. trump talk and all of this, promised all of it delivered none of it. we're delivering it and we delivered it, by the way, with votes from both parties. two things people want. bringing jobs to our state and also working together across the aisle, but it took democrats getting in

. >> this is absolutely wide open and this is the race to succeed pat toomey.ump backed cabinet, who was probably in the driver seat to get the trump-backed nomination, he suspended his campaign. there are several other candidates running including dr. oz. that field also includes former president trump ambassador to denmark. and on the democratic side, it is also wide open, hallie, with a really diverse field of candidates, ideologically and racially on the democratic side. and we'll find out who both parties nominate in what could end up being a race that controls the senate. >> can't talk about dr. oz without talking about his political background, the real serious questions that have been raised about some of the things he said as far as the medical side of things, right? >> you know, hallie, you know, when donald trump became a candidate back in 2015, he at least had weighed in on the 2012 presidential contest and was a surrogate for mitt romney, who was then the republican presidential nominee. dr. oz, other than giving that physical to donald trump in th

republicans just won four partisan, judge races held statewide, that's a possibility and also a seat pat toomey is not running for re-election. you have the possibility of strong candidates for both parties there and obviously up for grabs. and finally the last republican seat in single digit seat in west virginia. that was plus zero points for biden, won by a narrow margin and in fact won by one point in the last six presidential elections. we don't know whether senator ron johnson, an upset winner in 2000 and -- 2016 and 2010 will look increasingly likely. but those are all going to be close races. if the current climate continues, you have to say that republicans would have an advantage but of course there's no guarantee that the current public opinion climate is going to be changing. it's going to be staying the same. and the first single digit biden states with democratic senators we see some polling and i note that in all the public polls i've seen, incumbents are running below 50% but there's little clarity on most of the republican nominees and we are again got some close races, closer

he's in the run to fill pat toomey's seat which is a critical seat for republicans hoping to take back senate. parnell is also endorsed by donald trump. he has his complete and total endorsement. while he is running for this important seat, he is in the midst of a divorce and custody battle for his three children. on monday parnell's estranged wife testified under oath that he allegedly, and i'm going to quote here, choked her until she bit him to escape and once called her a whore and a piece of "s." after a thanksgiving trip he briefly forced her outside of her vehicle alongside a highway after raging at her, telling her to go get an abortion. he testified the alleged abuse extended to their children. he slapped one child hard enough to leave fingerprint-shaped welts through the back of the child's t-shirt. and he once got so angry he punched a closet door that it hit the child and left a bruise. sean parnell denied the claims and said he will prejt his case next week. he's not alone. he's one of many candidates with similar, let's say, problematic profiles that trump has endorsed. c

that's also a seat where pat toomey, the republican senator, is not running for reelection. you have the possibility of strong candidates from both parties. finally, the last republican seat in single digits, wisconsin, that was plus zero points for biden, went by a narrow margin. it has been won by less than one point in four of the last six presidential elections. johnson, the upset winner in 2016 and 2010. those are all going to be close races. if the current climate continues , you have to say republicans would have an advantage, but there is no guarantee that the current public opinion climate is going to be changing. of course, states with democratic senators, we see some polling. in all the public polls i have seen, incumbents are running below 50%. there is little clarity on most of the republican nominees. we have some close races, closer probably then was assumed at the beginning of the cycle, where there was a widespread assumption that in biden's states, democrats would have no trouble holding those seats. now it looks more iffy. two biden seats that were plus ze

this say very competitive seat that pat toomey is going to be leaving when his term is up in pennsylvaniawould like this seat. there is a big question about whoever the candidate is going to fill this spot, what that's going to look like. i do think this is a battle that has been playing out in courts with these allegations made very public, you know, sadly for these children who are very young when it comes to that situation. but when you look at it from the washington point of view and who has been endorsing sean parnell, former president trump did, you've seen some republicans, though, not want to do so. senator rick scott, you interviewed about this, kind of hedging and saying, we'll see how this primary process plays out before we make any decisions on this. but if you look at the allegations in and of themselves, they're really disturbing. sean parnell has denied them and said he'll appeal this decision by the judge, but they're very disturbing. but it also fits a pattern of what you're seeing from other candidates. herschel walker, in georgia, trying to run for raphael warnock's se

senator pat toomey the ranking member of the banking committee says omarova has very very radical ideasy attacked the fossil fuel industry as many democrats want to force a faster switch to wind and solar at the same time, the biden administration is asking opec to push more oil. in a report out yesterday, opec reiterated increases will be measured in increments going up, ignoring the call from the u.s. to add more supply right away. opec also saying the higher energy prices will mean weaker global demand for oil. now the administration here is walking a line, on one side they have policies that are constrict ing domestic supply that's new domestic supply going out. on the other side you have opec saying no, we're not going to increase drastically the demand to meet the global need for oil. therefore the prices are going up. back to you. neil: edward lawrence, thank you very very much. to democratic california congressman ro khana kind enough to join us. congressman, i know you tried to bridge both sides and a move forward here but there is a perception, it's increasing among the genera
