. >>> comedian and veterans advocate jon stewart goes off on the senate, calling some republicans senators out by name, after they blocked a bill to increase care for veterans exposed to burn pits. the move has some democrats speculating that this is a retall anyfor an unexpected compromise on capitol hill. we'll show i you stewart's impassioned remarks. >>> more missing texts tied to the january 6th attack on the capitol, this time it is messages from former president trump's homeland security department. and the former president is also making headlines for what he said about september 11th while hosting a saudi-backed golf tournament at one of his clubs. >>> good morning. and welcome to "way too early." i'm jonathan lemire. it is friday, july 29th. thanks for being here. let's get started with the news. we begin on capitol hill where senate democrats are racing against the clock to pass a wide-ranging spending bill through the process of reconciliation. with just about a week to go before congress leaves for a month-long recess, a source says that senate majority leader chuck schumer ca

it's still not clear if there are ten senate republicans willing to support it, republican senator rubio manu raju he's going to vote no and he called the vote a, quote, stupid waste of time. what is your message on that? what's your message to senate republicans? >> if he's got time to fight against disney, i don't know why he wouldn't have time to help safeguard marriages like mine. look. this is really, really important to a lot of people. it's certainly important to me. i started my day, as i try to do on weekends, try to give chasten a little bit of a break and do breakfast with both of our twins. that alone, that is no small thing, as every parent of small kids knows. it was one of those days where the tray table wasn't quite fitting into the high chair. i'm trying to make sure they're busy enough with their cereal puffs to give me enough time to chop up the banana and get the formula ready. i don't know. that half-hour of my morning had me thinking about how much i depend on and count on my spouse every day. our marriage deserves to be treated equally. i don't know why this would

branches, and what frustrates me is what senator tester said -- you send individuals to war and then refuse to take care of them when they get back. and so if republicans like thune are saying, okay, this isn't retaliation, it's about that one line, then vote for it on monday when senator schumer is set to bring this back to the floor. vote for it on monday because what i saw with the video of them shaking hands after tanking this bill shows that republicans will reject even things and issues that they believe in, that they wholeheartedly support, all to swipe back at democrats because they got their feelings hurt. and they're lashing out honestly like a bully. they're lashing out at whomever and whatever -- this week it was veterans in dire need of health care. >> it's hard to see, jake, how strategically it makes sense to vote against veterans who are suffering and dying. is there any indication that this incredible pushback, this understandable, emotional, and frustrated pushback will have any effect on some of these republicans? >> i do think they're going to have to get this across the finish line. it's a completely untenable position, chris. espe

aclu, naacp, and senate republicans aligned sounding the alarm. they've been working together to fight state-level public disclosure laws all the way to the supreme court. last year the court sided with those advocates to strike down predatory disclosure practices out in california. earlier this month the ninth circuit did the same to an unconstitutionally vague disclosure law out in montana. meanwhile the federal judiciary itself is contending with particularly outrageous threats to the radical left to the privacy and security of the judges themselves. and their families. the same liberal group stoking mob intimidation outside the homes of supreme court justices are the ones most eager to put out private citizens' political speech records. the same democrats who refuse to condemn naked threats against public officials earlier this summer once geant to expand the -- once again want to expand the federal government's power to private citizens. that's not a trade the american people or their constitution can afford to make. now on another matter. ri

yes, i think we've seen it already where you had a republican senator, senator johnny earned republican, senator foreign affairs committees and johnson, you have others and they are working very closely with their democratic counterparts. jan foreign relations committee, sen, manenda, europe, committees, subcommittee chair sen, shaheen. they're all working together. they are pushing for more support to ukraine . and you have slips. and you now have republicans in the majority and democrats, and already i think we continue to work together to provide that support. you're giving names of you giving names of republicans that mil to throw some republican names at your senate hopeful, j events. for instance, a thing i caught, i got to be honest with you, i don't really care what happens to ukraine one way or the other. you have senator ron paul, who's saying that the us shouldn't be ukraine's court sugar daddy. i mean, these are the worst of the 2 heading on the republican side of things. could these voices not effect the mood in the republican party going forward, especially after november?

senate republicans are the ones most insulated from the gop base. to deal with republican base voters every six years. they are also a group of washington republicans that are most supportive of the u.s. back of ukraine and its war of russia. if you look at astrologists, it is a much more mixed bag. you have a lot of house republicans that support and continue funding for ukraine, but a lot of others, who very much don't, and that is increasingly the case in the house republican congress. then if you take one big step even closer to republican primary holders and look at candidates right now, who are running in the republican primaries, that's the group of republicans that is the supported of the u.s. backing of ukraine. i have not done this project with that many other topics, but i would guess that it holds out similarly, particularly in the case of cruz and holly, both who are very much invested in maintaining the support that the republican party's base has in them, even if it means taking in positions on policy issues like that them farther and

the republican senators got that. there are countries where you do have to get a visa, to get into that country. how often is that an issue with some of these trips? guest: not very often, especially because senators are often treated as diplomats. we have an embassy in moscow right now despite the very contentious relationship between washington and moscow. there are diplomats who have to be in moscow right now. there are americans who have to be in moscow. it was surprising this happened. senator shaheen -- long before russia interfered in the 2016 election, she was ahead on recognizing russia as a threat to eastern europe and recognizing that russia's goal was to expand their territory, which is what we are seeing right now. senator shaheen was ahead of that. host: one of our previous callers use the phrase lavish junket to describe some of these trips. was your trip with the senators a lavish junket? guest: we were in madrid, which was a beautiful city. you can call it lavish if you want. it was a working trip. th

. >>> jon stewart sounding off on senate republicans after they blocked a bipartisan bill aimed at expanding health benefits to veterans exposed to toxins in war zones. the question is, why did 25 republicans who supported a previous version of the bill change their vote to know? stuart, an outspoken advocate for military veterans will join us later this morning. we are following new developments with the january 6th committee. top aides to former president donald trump testifying between closed doors, including one official who resigned the day of the attack. we will tell you who that is. and more text messages from the time of the attack disappear. first from the secret service, now the washington post reporting texts between members of trumps homeland security team are missing as well. >>> good morning, welcome to morning joe. we have the host of way too early and the author of the big lie , jonathan lemaire. gentlemen, good morning. >>> let's start with the texts that have been deleted. according to the washington post, the texts are from acting homeland security secretary ken wolf and -

senate would take final actions needed to get this bill to the president. instead, we are standing here empty-handed because of the incomprehensible actions of republican senators, who yet again have allowed naked partisanship and political gamesmanship to deny our veterans the care they deserve. 34 republicans originally voted with all of the democrats in the house to get this bill over to the senate. i want to thank those 34 republicans, because they gave us the momentum to get an 84-vote passage in the senate. frankly, this bill should have passed the house unanimously the first time and it should have passed unanimously in the senate. that is how fundamental this issue of taking care of our veterans is. it should have been a unanimous vote. but it was remarkable that we got what we got. the same senator who held up the pact act yet again has stood in the way. he has done this despite knowing of the veterans this would help, knowing the veterans' sacrifice behind it, and the blood, sweat, and tears shed by the veteran community to finally get this done. he claims that this bill has a slush fund, but this is absolutely not true. we have a fund that will allow

it would need all 50 senate democratic votes plus the support of ten republican senators.ed that to get past a filibuster. cnn has reached out to all 50 senate republicans to find out where they stand. so joining us now cnn congressional correspondent jessica dean with some interesting numbers. jessica? >> good morning to you, john. yes, we did, my colleagues and i spent yesterday reaching out to all 50 gop senators to kind of test the waters, see where they are on this. you're looking at the numbers right now, this is what we've got so far, four likely to support, eight no, 16 told us they were undecided, a lot of people wanted to see the language first and wanted to take a look at the bill. 22 we are still waiting on to respond. i want to say that they do expect on both sides that they will get the ten to overcome the senate filibuster, something we talk about a lot. they have to have 60 to get anything through. these are the four republicans who have said that they will support this measure and key to this, rob portman and susan collins both are going to be co-sponsors

millions of veterans who were exposed to toxins. 123 republicans in the house voted for this, 34 senate republicans voted for it, same bill, this week the bill didn't change, but the republican votes did. why? >> no, the republican votes didn't change on the substance of the bill. republicans have said we want an amendment to change the provision that has nothing to do with veterans healthcare. the republicans support this. the democrats added a provision that has nothing to do with veterans healthcare. and it is designed to change government accounting rules so they can have a ha$400 billion spending spree. my amendment will not reduce veteran spend big a time. >> they did get 134 republican votes and you have plenty of republicans still voting for it, it seems like making this seem like a democratic gimmick obscures what is your real point and your life-long interest, which is this is about budgeting. and whether the rules should e tight now or whether as those who defend this bill say allow congress to work in the future to be fiscally responsible. isn't that a more accurate way to think about w

party, and yet susan collins, republican senatorrom maine, is saying today that the way in which your party surprised her and surprised the republicans, she said this deal on the climate could make it harder to lobby her fellow republicans to get that same-sex marriage bill passed in the senate. do you buy that? you are worried about that? is this typical susan collins trying to cover up, i don't know? >> okay, well, i have a lot of respect for susan and i really do appreciate her support for same-sex marriage, and tammy baldwin has been working so hard to get this done, because as we know, justice thomas laid out a road map in his opinion that everything is on the line, not just abortion, but contraception, same-sex marriage, that is why the house passed the bill, under speaker pelosi's leadership, and now it is over in the senate. and i don't think you should ever, when i think about this as a whole, and a lot of the republicans have been saying, this they're saying okay, we knew you were going to do a pharma deal and stand up wit

i want to bring this bill to the floor, and we're working to get the necessary senate republican support to ensure it would pass. now, on the chips. last night the senate crossed a critical threshold to lower costs, increase manufacturing, strengthen supply chains and preserve american competitiveness. i want everyone to know the vote result, 64-34. that's a clear signal after a lot of hard work and a lot of compromise from both sides, the path is clear for the chips plus bill to reach final passage. this has been bipartisan work in the senate at its best. just as we saw previously with bills ranging from gun safety to hate crimes to infrastructure to vawa and so much more. i thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for voting in favor of moving forward on this critical bill. for all -- for the information of all, today i plan to file cloture on this legislation, which after last night's vote includes incentive for domestic microchip production, including itc. support for our wireless communication supply chain, and the science package, which includes many of the provisions i autho

they were watching previously when the senate republicans blocked us from protecting the right to travelcross states to get abortion care. they were watching a lasso republicans blocked expanding support for our nations long-standing family planning program. they were watching with the vast majority of republicans in the house voted against the right to birth control. and they are watching right now as republicans block a bill that preserves the right to use condoms, take the pill, get iuds, and by plan b. as republicans refused to let us protect that right and passon ts bill and continue denying the threats that are already undermining that right. this is a basick fundamental right. and mark my words, the american people will not forget republicans from blocking is getting this done. thank you madam president i yield the floor. >> the junior senator from colorado. cliques madam president, in 1963, americans could be arrested in s some states simply for buying birth control pills. sixty years later, many states have their way, americans may face that reality once again. the supreme court
