it's interesting to me that you have the ben sasses who have been mute, silent, and taken money that congress appropriated and said we're going to use it to build a wall and steal land in texas, they say nothing and pop up like groundhog day and go, whoa, he's fighting those horrible iranians. i don't know that rand paul will do a darn thing. >> well, it's interesting. there's going to be a vehicle for it. kim cain, one of my senators from the great state of commonwealth of virginia is introducing essentially a resolution, piece of legislation that would say he can't do this without congress's -- >> that's from bernie sanders. >> and tim kaine, tim kaine, right. and, listen, if rand paul wants to prove -- he can sign up and get other people as well. >> that won't -- >> in terms of the press, there's still the clinging to this naivety about. trump. so, yes, we're seeing more skepticism now in terms of the

ben sass said if that's true, it's something we need to look at. we shouldn't circle the wagons before we figure out if that's true. lamar alexander, their colleague, said that's true, it happened, but it's not enough for me to impeach. there are going to be a lot of republican senators that are going to have to backtrack on their comments from that first week following the whistle-blower report now that senator alexander is on the record basically saying that he believes what the house managers put forth. >> mara gay, lisa murkowski, i'm sorry, said tonight, i am going to reflect on what i've heard, re-read my notes and decide whether i need to hear more. she has said she's filled up a book and a half full of notes. our reporters who are there have said she is taking copious notes. we're not quite sure what she's doing. >> sure. >> a number of people have said there's no new evidence that has been presented here that was not otherwise presented in the house. there are some new arguments or different arguments that are made, but the evidence is the

sasse to the committee. and he's in -- joining the committee on one of the most important pieces of legislation we can do this year. and i'm glad to have senator sasse as a new member of the committee. on december 13th, 2019, the senate received -- or the house of representatives received the bill to implement the usmca agreement. under fast track rules, the committee cannot amend the bill. we will vote today only on whether to report the bill. before we vote, senators who wish to make statements may do so. in the interest of time, i ask that the statements be limited to three minutes, and i know that my staff has had a discussion with everybody's staff about that. i hope that that will be satisfactory to the members. we do have a vote scheduled at 12:15, so i think it's important that we get this done this morning. i think we can. after statements, i'm going to introduce staff and administration officials here to provide an overview of the bill and answer any questions. and then we will then vote on the bil

happy new year look forward to working with allnk of our colleagues and senator sass. kickingor off 2020 with the new nafta the last two years have delivered one gut punch after another to america as exporters particularly our farmers and manufacturers. it began when then candidate trump talked about pulling the united states out of nafta and followed by the administration driving away the traditional economic allies. three years of chaos has her hinvestment in america to cause bankruptcies to surge. many foreign markets to american exports today more than the day the president took office. the finance committee has an opportunity to provide a real tymeasure of certainty and predictability to americans who want to make things here and shift the one - - ship the products around the world. so with those key changes , first on the enforcement issue, year after year, decade after decad dede, presidents and lawmakers of both political parties paid lip service to enforce trade laws. allde along with enforcement is just too weak and had no teeth. in my view went through this

after the three minutes are up senator sasse is up. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much for it as the auditor general of pennsylvania way back in the 19 '90s i opposed nafta in 1997, to be specific. in the interim. as a public official in our state i fought battles for workers and for worker rights. when president trump came into office in 2017 i was somewhat hopeful that he would stay true to his word on trade however, in 2018 he signed a corporate trade deal which only improved by the hartley and efforts by democrats and by the men and women of organized labor and i applaud those efforts over many months now and i will support this agreement. we must be clear about what this agreement doesn't do and what it doesn't do. this agreement will not fix outsourcing. it will not do nearly enough to let jobs home or rebuild our communities which have been dedicated by trade over time. this agreement is immeasurable improvement on the status quo and resents a step forward and what trade proposals of the future should look like. i applaud the work of

senator, ben sasse his comments earlier.ationship that might impact the trade deal? well a lot of u.s. senators are rightly very concerned over what's happening and are sending a very strong signal to london. i would say that overall the special relationship is going to continue to be very strong but if you allow china a role in the 5g network in the uk, that undermines in my view transatlantic intelligence relations and security. i think this is a very rash move by the uk here. i don't think it is going to undermine the u.s.-uk free trade agreement. connell: okay. >> this is certainly very bad decision to take by the uk. connell: certainly worth watching. neil, thanks for coming on? melissa: starbucks, reporting first quarter results the company beating on earnings per share. revenues in line with expectations but here's the key, starbucks does expect an impact from the coronavirus in the second quarter saying it will update its 2020 forecast when it can reasonably estimate the virus' impact. starbucks closed more than half

sass from the world wide fund for nature wants to see the sec to manage water resources more sustainably. we are on our way to a citrus fruit farm that we work with i think it's the 1st farm in europe to be certified according to a system that manages water consumption sustainable. daily monitoring is absolutely essential it's about respecting a commodity that everyone wants to have water which is in short supply in this farm is proof positive that water consumption can be realistically reduced you can get a look at what. consumers have an important role to play but if you think they decide which product they buy that they need to ask where the product comes from and if found somewhere with a water shortage that's very important but it's. also because of what it can from the supermarkets also decide where they buy their produce from they can check whether it's all sound and that's what the water authority map is for but if everything's above board great it's equally for them to fill it the full interview is here to inspect the plantation luis but is one of the 1st farmers whose working w

chuck schumer and congresswoman nancy pelosi and you've gotten tweets from some republicans like ben sassed tom cotton lindsey graham saying that this attack was coming the iranians have been punching the u.s. in the nose for a long enough and they. expected it and they deserved it democrats on the other hand have had a very different reaction saying that yes so money had blood on his hands but this is an escalation for which the u.s. might not be prepared and so when congress comes back from its recess next week we can expect them to kind of start looking at checking the president's war powers but as you saw from trump's tweet just the in. american flag he's going to use this to try to drum up support from his base does this attack figure in any kind of plan the strategy that president trump has for the middle east so the question is you know does trump have a strategy in the middle east and if so what is it obviously countering iranian influence as well as supporting u.s. allies saudi arabia and israel is a mainstay of that but this killing i think puts the u.s. administration as well as

pretty split down republican and democratic lines right so you have some republican senators like ben sasse lindsey graham tom cotton marco rubio all saying he had it coming it's about time and then you have democratic senators like chris murphy for example. saying that the question is you know not only what happens next but what does this mean for the united states what's the reaction going to be in the united states we're not prepared for an iranian response so the question is really how is the u.s. public going to respond to this. maybe not well you know a war weary country. a minute can we talk about iran. reaction is iran now compelled to take action i mean he was offered a role one of the very highest ranking officials in. a while will try again though i think many you bring you know social striving to put a plan above the reaction where the whole the whole big i think the action reaction would be iranian will be fast enough as we think because we are talking about the top leader in the broad. that if they iranian leave it. without any reaction they will lose a kind of credibility in

ben sass with a powerful statement calling him an evil bastard. tom cotton saying his death brings measure of justice to american service members. killed over seas. we have seen criticism from democrats. the senator tweeting out that this was done without the authorize of congress and that presents serious problems. calling the president a reckless. that's one ocht big questions out there. what evidence the united states used to carry out this attack. to justify this attack. and further exactly when the president made the decision. i noted before this has been a quiet day for him. was this in the works for days or done directly as a result of potential response from iran. further escalation of the rhetoric from iran. >> we know that according to two sources that relevant members of congress will be briefed tomorrow. on what happened tonight in baghdad. everyone stay with me. i want to bring in cnn international diplomat editor. nick, give us the perspective on the region. what's going to happen after that? the question is what does iran do next. >

(sighs) daddy's home. leonard, you're back. yeah. i just stopped by to say-- hmph! (sighs) yeah. so, hi. hi. damn it. i should have gone over and told her we were back.

senator ben sasse said he was an ev evil bastard. and testifies echoed by senator tom cotton. i agree with all of that, the question we should have, though, is did anyone consider what comes next? there's a lot of hyperbole going around on both sides. let's cut through the spin. republicans are right to point out he was a terrible, evil monster who killed and tortured thousands. and would have most certainly killed thousands more if he could. that should matter, and if, as the administration says, he posed an immigrant threat, there's likely legal standing for what trump did, and people insisting this will awaken a long, dormant beast, they ignored the fan that iran has iran-'ing for a very lotion time. iran, the regime, not the people, is a bad actor, full stop. but contrary to what most republicans will acknowledge, there are some serious problems with what we just did. for one, there's a reason we have a policy against taking out foreign political leaders -- proportional retaliation. there's no doubt that killing soleimani put some americans in danger. for another, the inte

this was the source of the comments by ben sass.ynamic where by congress doesn't resolve anything anymore. the legislature is where we clash out policy views but everything is being -- in this large pluralistic society, everything is being swept to washington and then congress isn't resolving it. it's pushing it to the administrative agencies. and it gets pushed into the court. you can't elect administrative people. you can only sue them. anyway, i'm skeptical of new regulatory trends, but i think that's separate from whether you can draw those kind of laws good or bad in a way that is proper in terms of the regard for the administrative state. >> so much of this seems to concentrate, some of this is debate argument. we talked about nondelegation and about the supreme court. it seems that it is almost certainly a function of the judiciary. so from this perspective, it actually matters quite a bit who is in the executive branch right now. how do you both think that the trump administration so far has faired in reigning in the adminis

we also heard from ben sasse. this is a statement that he said. he said -- >> now, some senate democrats are calling the president's decision a reckless escalation of hostilities. lawmakers say they plan to pressure the president and the administration to give them a better idea on what will happen next. >> trace: mark, some lawmakers arguing the president needed a prove value from congress for this strike in the first place. >> there's some, trace, that argue that president did not have the right to issue the strike in the first place. there's been a number of attempts in the last year or so to place new laws that would not allow the president to launch any military action against iran without congressional approval. that never happened. didn't make it into law. the administration is arguing the strike was necessary to save american lives from future attacks. phrase, you can bet congress will have more to say on this going forward. >> trace: mark meredith live in the nation's capitol. thank you. nations around the world warning the strike could l

ben sasse in alaska, who likes to say he puts the constitution before party and mike lee who says heation was not giving him information on the iran and the death of soleimani, he should care as much about what trump did in ukraine as he did in iran. >>> thank you at home for joining us this hour. tonight we will present part two of my interview with lev parnas. now, as i said before the first part of the interview last night, and i want to reiterate it now, mr. parnas is under federal indictment. he was one of four defendants charged in early october with multiple felonies related to an alge

sass -- qassem soleimani is hailed as hero but two months ago at the protest, young men were tearingning images of him. at time he was regime's face of foreign aggression abroad spending money when people in iran had very little. these protests are simmering under the surface. the iranian regime they don't have the full support of their people despite the show we saw, one or two million people coming out into the funeral. there is underlying tension in the country. not everyone is in favor of the mullahs. connell. connell: benjamin hall live in amman, jordan. melissa. melissa: here so react, james freeman from "the wall street journal." he is fox news contributor. james, you see iranians to sit down to do this calm interview, as opposed to lobbing bombs in our direction. it seems like it's a change in strategy for them. what do you make of that? >> yeah. it is possible they will wisely decide that a fight with the night is not in their interests. president has made clear he doesn't want war with iran. he doesn't want to invade and seek regime change. he wants them to basically stop f

perhaps one of the most significant things that we have left out of this conversation sass a nation since in happened is what happened to the green movement. those people were murdered. they were murdered and imprisoned. >> they killed 1500 people. >> exactly. that's nothing in iran. you imagine that's the context in which you are viewing the funeral, right? i think of all the literally tens of thousands of funerals that soleimani left in his wake. that's what's distinct about their regime and why this administration designated them as a foreign terrorist organization. they have institutionalized it in their operations and he was one of the architects. >> does that go away now that he is gone? >> there were already indications they have blown through the money they got from the obama administration in the iran nuclear deal. they have started cutting back some of the funding for the quds forces around the region. i don't think they have the money to trin to do this. >> the infusion of youth they are seeing, how much is that making an influence on the ground? >> it is very difficult to say.

you're right, sass like that bring it back, to some degree a guy like garoppolo.are you looking for in the game? >> i expect it to be a great game. i expect kyle shanihan, the head coach of the san francisco 49ers to try to minimize jimmy garoppolo's throws. you can't make this game jimmy garoppolo versus patrick ha homes. you have to make it the san francisco 49ers running game versus patrick mahomes. mahomes is clearly the better quarterback. for the 49ers to win the game, they have to run the football, run the football successfully. kansas city on the other side they have no problem patrick mahomes throwing 45, 50 times during the ballgame. they can't fall behind as they have in the past. this team will stay committed running football, not let you deter them, once you get a couple first downs or touchdowns deter them running the football. kyle shanahan is committed to running football. i played for his father in denver. i won two super bowls under his father in denver. i know how committed he is to the run game. connell: one other sport, we watched this on "und

there are rumors in nebraska that ben sasse is trying to position himself for a run. he was a trump critic but has dampened that criticism and was endorsed by trump for a senate campaign. >> why do you say the first woman president is more likely to be republican? been -- ias just think the process is on the republican party over the democratic party, winner take all type of thing, the way the democrats to it, it is this confusing matter of splitting up delegates. the was going to add, process tends to favor republicans, but republican women tend to be viewed as more moderate than democratic women. democratic women are often viewed as the most liberal of the party by sex component. if you are going to get a woman elected, you need a lot of people on board. somebody more moderate is likely to that. that said, there are republican women that are extremely conservative that would have a hard time. someone like nikki haley might be able to walk that line. penceody things mike might be thinking about running in 2024? >> he did visit the same flight twice here. we have to i
