senator warnock, how did we get here? >> well, you know, as a pastor, i've sat in my study many times with families that are struggling. an i have said in my study many times about families are struggling. i think that what we are dealing with is the fundamental assault on the basic understanding that we are the american family. and all families have a complicated story. we sort of gloss over things. but just beneath the surface their stories, the parts of our family life that we may not necessarily want to talk about, but it's all there. and the issue is remembering that you are still family. we have differences publicity of and work it out. a lot of these differences are structural. i do agree that washington, in many ways, is a reflection of the country. but there are some structural issues. like gerrymandering, racial gerrymandering that fractures the country. the ways in which people's voices have been squeezed out of their democracy. i will pick one front issue. click on violence. there is a fox news poll that said

kristen welker was interviewing raphael warnock and james lankford together.sle but both came from baptist ministries. it was a fascinating conversation about faith and bipartisanship. watch the whole thing online if you have a chance. i wanted to leave you with what senator warnock had to say. >> what i encourage you to do, especially in this season, to look toward one another, rather than figure out -- rather than thinking how we can hurt one another. how we can pray with one another, rather than pray on one another. and you know, i still have great hope for this country. we approach this work with a degree of humility. the recognition we don't know everything. things we can't see based on where we're sitting right now in this room. things you're seeing where you're sitting that i don't see and vice versa. so we have to talk to one another. in this christmas season, i have to tell you, my favorite christmas hymn is "oh holy night." there's this line that says his law is love and his gospel is peace. i hope that as lawmakers, as citizens that we would be guid

and to have the support of our senators, senator warnock and senatorrerness of iowa. this is a vital piece of legislation which protects the american agriculture and it keeps foreign and animal plants as well as other diseases out of our country. i want to thank my colleague for their joint efforts and with that, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized. mr. thompson: thank you for all those who put this bill forward. i think this is just this example of this piece of legislation illustrates why it is commonly said that a dog is a man's best friend. it really fills a -- an incredible nearby here. before i close, mr. speaker, i want to ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on senate bill 759. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. thompson: i urge a yes vote on this bill and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the question is, will the house sus

our senior football reporter ian dennis and former liverpool midfielder stephen warnock were watching. the knockout stages beckoned for liverpool and, realistically, when you look at it is hard to see them not being in the top two, which means they would be seated in the knockout stages of this revised format and in process tonight, stephen, they have the abang club record of five successive clean sheets. as nearly nine hours of football since they conceded their only goal in this campaign. yeah, they were lucky not to concede tonight, but credit to the goal keeper, alisson, came back in after 11 games and really showed that quality with 45 big saves, so they can give him a pat on the back tonight. liverpool probably weren't at their best however, what an impressive start, six from six. it's quite brilliant, isn't it, at the end of the day, you don't look at the game after the result comes in, you look at this goal line as a liverpool have done it again. they were tried and tested tonight and stood strong at times. the game management was met in the second half that they could not hav

. >> senator warnock? >> thank you so very much, chair casey. i just want to echo the sentiments of senator warren and so many others and take this opportunity to thank you so very much for your fine leadership in the senate and on this committee. certainly on behalf of pennsylvanians, but also on behalf of georgians, on behalf of the american people. you have been a dedicated public servant in the tradition of your family. centering the most marginalized members of the human family, the disabled, the elderly, the poor, and in just the four years i've served on this committee, you have improved access to health care, you've strengthened protections for seniors, you have centered people with disabilities so that all americans can survive, can thrive, and we can have an economy that serves the whole country. so thank you so much, and i look forward to continuing the great work on this committee. so, nearly 15 years after the passage of the affordable care act, ten states, including sadly my state of georgia, have not fully expanded medicaid. georg

warnock said his life's project was human dignity and his long life will be lengthened by legacy.was a great man, a great role model and great humanitarian. joining us live from the garter center in atlanta center is nbc correspondent. as you know, he and his wife formed the carter center in 1982. talk to us about the legace that the former president leaves behind here and what he was able to accomplish through the carter center. >> absolutely this is a majority of his career came from his work here at the carter center. he was working to eradicate disease, he monitored elections around the world. it was through that work that spanned almost 43 years that he eventually earned a nobel peace prize. he was a son -- son of georgia. he came back to the white house he came to georgia and started the carter center. there is a memorial, people are coming, lighting candles, someone left a chalkboard that said we love you president carter. the carter center actually just released a statement that said president carter requested anyone who wants to honohis memory should do so through acts of

california's gavin newsom, michigan gretchen whitner, pritzker, also nothing from senators ralph warnocknd amy klobuchar and cory booker, why nothing from these people? >> if they were going to show a little leadership and principle they could come out with something and stop telling us it is a gift to trump. trump's kids aren't doing this garbage that hunter did. it is so fundamentally wrong. make a statement. tell us where you stand on this. if you want to be a leader and governor and want to go for higher office you better darn well tell us quickly where you are on this. >> harris: biden comes back in a couple days after going to a south -- mostly southwestern country on the continent of africa, angola. my first question for him to be why did you wait until now? now that we know this has been talked about for months and all over the thanksgiving holiday, what was the goal here? >> it was all about the sentencing coming up. starting to be in the news cycle. they would have to go through that again. i do believe by the time we roll through january 20th, you are going to see other biden

democratic senator rafael warnock ultimately defeated walker in that race.er's success in sports and said that he was pleased to nominate him for the role. joining us now national politics reporter for "the hill" julia manchester. julia, good to see you this morning. certainly it is, you know, a pretty standard practice for presidents coming in to reward supporters with ambassadorships. sometimes that's a big donor, sometimes that's a political ally. sometimes that's a football star. you know, we also know that trump raised headlines when he named jared kushner's father important as overseas host. give us your sense here about your read on the nature of these picks and whether you think any of them will have trouble getting through. >> hey, good morning, jonathan. look, i think herschel walker is emblematic of donald trump's love for the idea of a celebrity and obviously someone who's loyal to him, and that is what herschel walker has done during his very short political career. mayes been loyal to the president and he's a celebrity. like we saw on truth soc

i've been remarkably inspired by some of the behaviors i've seen particularly from senators warnock andp between them politically but they are talking about trying to lower the temperature and say, the business folks are in town, there's still a space for activism and everywhere someone's going to have to try and find a way to work together. what that means for not only passing the cr on the 14th but anything happening in the first two years of this trump presidency after which he will be effectively a lame-duck, this is going to be the wild west and it's just a fascinating time to watch any universe of things that could develop but i would suggest the democrats, it's certainly not all over just because republicans control all three of those major chambers. >> when you think about that, david, i want to point out this op-ed that was in the washington post about republicans and their lack of plan and direction, it writes, no, by itself, by itself is not an agenda. the gop has gotten good at being sort of angry and loud minority, and they were able to capture all chambers in congress next

senator raphael warnock called carter one of his heroes, while he says his leadership was driven by love. his life's project, grounded in compassion and a commitment to human dignity. before i finish, wolf, let me also tell you that we saw in the last few minutes a man who dropped by and he wanted to place a bouquet of flowers at the sign here at the carter center, just to honor the memory of the former president. earlier, somebody left a couple of candles that they lit. and so that gives you an idea of what i was telling you at the beginning, that deep love and pride that people here in georgia felt towards the former president, wolf. >> very important and very beautiful words. thank you very, very much. rafael romo over at the carter presidential center in georgia. raphael, thank you very, very much. and we're going to continue our the death of the late president of the united states, jimmy carter, dead and 100 years old. >> erin burnett out front, weeknights at 7:00 on cnn. >> when you're the leader of a disaster cleanup and restoration, how do you make like it never even happen? >> h

some of those members include senator dick durbin, senator cory booker, senator raphael warnock, congressman jim clyburn and congressman steve steven horsford, who's a chairman of the congressional black caucus. they're asking biden to consider granting clemency to those who receive stacked sentences before the first step act went into effect during the trump administration. the first step act eliminated the practice of stacking sentences to give the harshest penalties possible. if somebody has a firearm. one one example of someone who fell into stacked sentences is weldon angelos. he was sentenced to 55 years in prison for three small marijuana sales as a first time nonviolent offender, 55 years because he possessed a gun. so his sentences were stacked. weldon angelos is out of prison now. he was pardoned by trump. republican senator mike lee of utah was the one who brought a lot of attention to mr. angelos. and the practice of stacking another category of individuals. democratic lawmakers want considered pardoned are those who are serving out the remainder of their sentences in home confin

there is a documentary called vigilantes inc., which explains with senator warnock and stacey abramsawyers from the naacp, shows how many black, asian and latina votes were repressed and stolen. even martin luther king jr.'s 92-year-old relative, they tried to stop her from voting. there is that and several technicians or phd's with computer science, sending a letter to kamala harris, saying how easy it is to hack dominion voting machines and calling for a hand recount of paper ballots. i don't know why the democrats evan called for a recount of paper ballots. even though my family has been independent for years, since the days of eisenhower, who was the last good, moderate republican, and who did not spend up the national debt by cutting the taxes for billionaires and corporations. when eisenhower was president as a republican, he taxed the rich at a much higher rate. so, i remained independent. but, i see all of the lies happening. the propaganda that a felon is now a convicted -- host: i'm trying to get a little more information, you mentioned an issue with dominion voting systems
