then over in the senate, lindsey graham and richard blumenthal are in agreement on just that same pointnouncing that russia is a state sponsor of terrorism. okay. >> russia should be declared a state sponsor of terrorism, because the events of these past days and weeks have shown the need more powerfully than ever that russia should be designated a state sponsor of terrorism. >> i think bipartisan is strong when it comes to supporting ukraine over russia. i want to thank the administration for doing more. we have our differences about the next step, but speaker pelosi is in our camp. she's said, from her point of view, russia has earned the designation and u.s. law of being a state sponsor of terrorism. >> tucker: the fact that lindsey graham can go on television and claim to be conservative, someone that cares about the united states, is beyond. so this is part of the endless posturing about how russia is bad. sure, russia is bad. but it's the words, as always, that matter. they're telling you that russia is now a state sponsor of terror. why are they saying that? you're probably noddi

last year, senator richard blumenthal of connecticut made this point in a hearing, with fbi had chrisembracing the violent conspiracy theory posing a real threat to the country. >> i would like to ask you whether the threat opposed by qanon and as you all know, adherence of qanon were among the rioters, very prominently, who stormed the capitol. whether the continuing threat is worse and when prominent officials, including members of congress, endorse the qanon theory. >> certainly, we are concerned about the qanon phenomenon. which we view as a, sort of, loose, conspiracy theory set, and we've certainly seen domestic extremism of the sort that you are describing. who cite that as part of their motivation. obviously, the folks who engage in this kind of violence drawn inspiration from a variety of sources, and we are concerned about any stories that stimulates or motivates violent extremism. >> ben collins is a senior reporter for nbc news, where he covers disinformation, extremism, the internet. and he joins me now. ben, good to have you here. so, it really does seem in the last few

here is richard blumenthal in a parade over the weekend, writing in the bridgewater tractor parade. this really brings people together. here is joni ernst from iowa with the college football season. our opening question for you, which party is more per worker. (202) 748-8000 is the line for democrats. republicans (202) 748-8001. independents (202) 748-8002. let's hear from george on the democrats line in kentucky. caller: yes. the thing is this. the plurality of the workforce is in corporate retail all over the country. some are less skilled. the multitasking in retail outlets and a fast place diner is not necessarily unskilled despite what they will tell you. serving tables or being a short order cook, that's a very hard demanding work. the corporate losses, the division of district managers are anti-worker and anti-union. 99% of them are hard-core geo peers. they want to micromanage every move everybody makes. they want to invade privacy in the workplace. they think everybody wants big gumbo the -- government telling people what to do and they start calling you a calmness. the thi

here's two yesterday influential senator richard blumenthal. the democratic party lindsey graham from the republican party presented another bill that allows you to overcome, so to speak, the branches of the state department, because officially the state department has the right to give this or that country the appropriate status. in general, if this bill is passed, then russia will receive such from the united states the status of a state sponsor of international terrorism. after that , relations will be severed, in principle, and so, and the biden administration, as if they do not want this allow, and in order to try to prevent this netprice bill from being passed, a state department official has already been quick to announce that we will impose new sanctions against russia, sanctions that will be similar to those that would be imposed if russia were declared a sponsor of international terrorism. and as if smysl will no longer pass such a law, but you know, i also study and teach russian american relations. for me, this is like two drops of

and blumenthal announced the measures that would have real sanctions and punishments for any country that did recognize those territories as part of russia here. so now they're standing firm. richard speculation early in the war that putin might do something like this, try to claim some sort of victory and use it as an off ramp. we got what we wanted to do and we'll leave now. that has tamped down. people think this is rather him locking in russia into the combat. why you think the nord stream pipeline believed to be moscow links so importantly. >> i don't think it's an off ramp because i don't think either side is thinking of off ramps. i don't see the raw material for diplomatic compromise here. the minimum russia can accept, ukraine is not willing to give anything like that up. there's no overlap. diplomats could work 24/7, they would have zero to show for it. both sides are settling in for a long war, not just through the winter but long beyond. i think this is going to stretch on, and we need to set our internal clocks to that. the reason i think it's sabotage is putin understands that europe is moving away from gas, oil dependency on him. that's already happened. actually mo

senators again want to include russia in the list of countries sponsoring terrorism democrats richard blumenthalnd republican representative lindsey graham submitted a new bill to congress for consideration. moreover, they did this bypassing the position of the state department, the newspaper said, according to its data, the authors of the document do not yet have broad support in parliament, and in the white house , president biden, at the beginning of the month, said that he did not consider it necessary to include russia in the list of countries sponsors of terrorism in our foreign ministry declared. if washington takes this step about the relationship between the two countries. you can just forget. despite the sanctions, the trade turnover between japan and russia increased by 31% in august. according to analysts, this happened due to rising fuel prices. it led to an increase in russian energy imports in value terms, the most impressive figures for lng gas purchases. they immediately grew by 211% compared to last year. at the same time, the japanese deficit in domestic trade doubled at once,
