roger wicker, the republican mississippi senator and what hey has to look forward to. each senator has a chance to read but one at a time. let's say you're looking at 20 minute force each of them to read it multiplied times 100, 2,000 minutes, 30 plus hours. kristin fisher with more. >> yeah, neil, things are moving so fast here. we're hearing that senators could get their hands on that fbi report as early as this afternoon. whatever is inside could make or break the judge's confirmation hearing so could what president trump said at that rally last night. all three of the critical republican swing votes, flake, collins and murkowski, all three of them have come out and spoke out strongly against those remarks. here's two of them. >> the president's comments were just plain wrong. >> there's no time and no place for remarks like that. to discuss something this sensitive in a political rally is just not right is. it's not right. i wish he didn't do. just -- it's appalling. >> so as all of capitol hill waits for this fbi report to be released, there's tremendous tension a

according to senator roger wicker, he was speaking today, he explained judiciary looks at anti-trust issues. conners looked at 230 issues, including privacy. jack dorsey, sundar pichai and mark zuckerberg of facebook will appear voluntarily. with respect to the inquiry, speculation it will include more against dorsey, zuckerberg's name is being floated, too. they will fact check it. what is interesting, subpoena, not voluntary participation anymore. the central question with two weeks to go until the election is controlling messaging on the platforms, some sort of breach, that is what everyone is trying to get to. you have elizabeth warren advocating and donald trump has said for different reasons. one is financial power and scope and once is ce censorship. the pandemic slowed this down. today, you have news thgoogle i being sued by the department of justice, does it monopolize search responsibility? big battle over companies that will continue on into 2021 and depending who has the white house, we'll see how this goes. >> neil: thank you very much, jacky. names to keep track of ther

many disagree including senator roger wicker that was just with us. you can't help but not have a benefit. i can see that, greg. the one thing i also see is a sort of a concern among many that companies will take this money and not invest it and plan it and plow it back into stocks, raise dividends and eventually might not do some of this to the degree that some people want to see like mark cuban says. what do you think? >> i don't buy that. every ceo spends a lot of time thinking about how to invest their cash to grow their business. it's about growing the business. the tax reform bill is about jobs. at the end of the day, that's what that stimulus is intended for. if i'm a ceo and sitting there and saying, look, i have $10 million to spend because i got a corporate tax rate cut, the things i need to do with that money or look to do would be product improvement, product line expansion, territory expansion. all of those things are job creators. >> neil: you can buy a lot of companies. that wouldn't necessarily create jobs. i'm just giving you the cyni

if you listen to senator roger wicker on capitol hill, he suggested it could be in the area of a trillion dollars to be paid for by keeping the corporate tax structure in place and maybe using unspent covid funds is what some republicans are talking about. that is important, neil. the white house has come down to $1.7 trillion. they want to pay for a infrastructure package by raising the corporate tax rates. so earlier today, i asked the white house press secretary jen psaki if the white house would accept a proposal in which the tax code is not changed. listen here. >> we're waiting to hear back from republicans on how they would propose to pay for it. if they don't want to touch the 2017 tax cuts that did not end up having a wind fall back to the american public, that's their choice. but they have to propose an alternative. >> republicans say that alternative will come thursday using unspend covid funds to pay for infrastructure. we heard from senate republicans, neil, this afternoon. i got to say, they sounded pessimistic about the prospects of a deal. watch. >> could be a bipartisan a

wicker, the republican senator from mississippi, he's in charge of getting republicans elected to the senate. it's a very tough year for republicans in the senate. he said i feel better today than i did earlier. james corpsman, the republican whip, he said we're going to have to work on immigration reform and there's a way to soften that rhetoric. so republicans are trying to figure out a way to get on board with donald trump. >> so you got to wonder then, is the bush family next? all of them have expressed sincere doubts about donald trump. none of them even want to vote for him. i asked him, what about your old boss? >> no, i did not. i got great love and affection for the entire family, particularly 41. and i'll be talking to them all, i'm sure, relatively soon. but, look, donald trump is going to be the nominee of the republican party, i've been a republican all my life, i was a republican vice president, so of course i'm going to support the nominee of our party and i think others will begin to step up and support him as well. some may not at the very end, i can understand that,

to republican senator roger wicker who serves on the armed services committee. senator, we don't know a lot of what transpired in that phone call. we do know that vladimir putin still has the 100,000 plus russian troops on the border. do you think he will hold off? >> i hope he does. two schools of thought on this. one is that it's a ruse, he doesn't have any intention of going in instead of using it as a bargaining chip. a lot of other people think that an invasion could take place and could take place within weeks. i'll just say this. vladimir putin has surprised the west twice. once in 2008 in georgia invading a sovereign nation and then in 2014 with ukraine. he could surprise us again. i hope although there was no finger wagging in the conversation from the president today, i hope there was a show of resolve that we think this would be a game changer for free europe and it's something that the united states and our allies cannot tolerate. >> neil: senator, some of your republican colleagues think we should have troops in the region. they didn't delineate how

senator roger wicker here with us now. very good to have you. thanks for coming. >> good to be back. >> neil: senator, where do you think things stand first off on the covid-19 relief measure? >> well, first of all, we're not going to shut the government down tonight. there will be a two-day extension. we're closing in on a deal. details have been a little harder than i expected. so i think maybe -- i'd say by tomorrow morning, we'll have the outlines 0 a deal. it will take another day to get it on paper. you have to write it up in bill form. i'd say we'll be finished sunday afternoon. i'm looking at a two-day extension of this short-term continuing resolution. >> neil: all right. we're hearing that unemployment benefits for ten weeks, probably closer to $300 a week rather than the 600 at the height of the pandemic. is that accurate? >> you probably have accurate information. i'm not in the room on that negotiation. i'm talking about broad band expansion during this pandemic about the airline piece and the paycheck protection plan, things like t

senator roger wicker with him. thanks for taking the time here. that's been your argument all along. in prior interviews, you said i'm open to infrastructure but better just be infrastructure, right? >> well, we've been advocating infrastructure for four years as members of the epw committee and the commerce committee and republican conference. you know, senator gillibrand got ridicule yesterday for tweeting that paid leave is infrastructure. child care is infrastructure. actually it's president biden that really deserves a good bit of the raspberries on that. it's actually his bill. it's $2 trillion, maybe $2.3 trillion. only about 30% of it by any stretch of the imagination could be called infrastructure. so i think -- i heard what roy blunt said sunday. i like it very much. we have a problem with the president when we ask him to compromise on the rescue bill. he offered 1.9 trillion. we offered $600 billion. then he said it was up to us to make yet another counter offer. that's usually not the way compromise works. >> neil: so where is this goi

we've got these two suspicious letters addressed to president obama and republican senator roger wicker and law enforcement sources say they have a person of interest, so we expect the investigation is moving forward. it's important to note both of these letters were stopped at offsite facilities, so they did not get close to the white house or the united states capitol. at the white house, jay carney says the president's been briefed and offered this update. >> the f.b.i. has a lead for determining whether a suspicious powder is a dangerous substance such as risin. and those take place at accredited facilities and they take a certain amount of time, as the f.b.i. has indicated. these procedures are in place. the procedures are effective and in operation now and we are in the midst of that process, which the f.b.i. is your taking at this time -- undertaking at this time. >> heightened security has brought heightened security activity on capitol hill, suspicious package was delivered to the office of alabama republican senator richard shelby. it was cleared. the bomb squad was sent to th

mitt romney, jerry moran, pat toomey, roger wicker, marco rubio, and roy blunt. i understand they have their own reasons for doing this. congress passed the emergency declaration. are they saying congress passed an unconstitutional act? what is the act there if it's not to be used? i understand their point, but at the same time there is an emergency. the democrats do not want to protect the country. >> this is not a constitutional crisis, it's a national security crisis at our border. that's what i would cul d that's what i would call 76,000 migrants apprehended at our border and tend-year-old girls given birth control pill biz their families because we know how many women are being sexually assaulted. we have tons of drugs pouring over our borders. that's not everyone. but it shouldn't be one. if it's one, it's 10 too many. this president has been consistent for four years now. we have a crisis at the border. he tried to let congress do its job. the congress and the courts failed to act. he's invoking a congressional act from 1976. it's 43 years old. if you don'

senator roger wicker was one of them. wicker came on this show a y yer ago, you can look it up, and enthusiastically defended the strikes against syria. yet, in march, faced with the prospect of securing his own country, mr. wicker solemnly explained an emergency border wall would devastate "the constitutional principle of checks and balances." huh. he represents the state of mississippi. what percentage of his voters could possibly agree with this standard? 10%? probably too high an estimate.d probably more like 2% agree with roger wicker on this. yet somehow, wicker still holds his senate seat. how is that? people are starting to figuree out the scam that is neo-conservativism. one news account this week explained that president trump has begun to wonder about his national security advisor, john bolton. bolton, you'll remember, led the cheering for the iraq invasion in 2003, supported the overthrow of qaddafi in libya a couple of years ago, pushed for strikes on iran and north korea. he called russia's actions in the un

and now roger wicker, the senator from from mississippi has persuaded the senate commerce committee to postpone her hearinghe her vote was supposed to be yesterday. there are actually going to be have a new hearing, a second hearing for her next week and we're going to hear everything, including this whole sordid tale of her involvement in a nonprofit called locust, which was l essentially setss. and what it did was it siphoned some people, let's say stole broadcast signals from major broadcast companies, us included. nbc put i into essentially t the internet and allowed people and this was their basicallyhi and they were nonprofit alloweo people to see that programing at a high quality p. if you didn't if you can't afford cable, it sounds like a noble idea. the broadcast company sued the judge sided with a broadcast company saying low caste and mison. she's on the boardrdco. lokesh, you owe thirty million dollars and then lo behold, ee some documents camek out last week i wrote about in the a new york post i wrote about fox businessbo where it showed that low caste only paidd seven hu

, america deserves better than roger wicker it's to say. repeat vax one another. both parties the same stupid talking point do they know how reality this is? >> unfortunately it doesn't appear to be the case, and this is just points to their ineptness their lack of capability to really clearly see what the consequences are, of their rhetoric. what -- the actions and this isn't just there are consequences to leaders in our country, influential people in our country to throwing things out like a first use nuclear attack is on the table. this directly undermines our national security. it directly puts the american people and our country and the world at risk, tucker. and what are we trying to accomplish here? because that would be the result. >> tucker: this is much longer conversation but in a minute, why eastern ukraine? i mean you could think of lots of parts of the world that are critical to our national interest. the shipping lanes in the south china sea or lots of things you could argue we have to defend this but ukraine? we have been ta

roger wicker, sitting u.s. senator. nobody laughed at roger wicker. this is so crazy that no one seems aware of how crazy it is. they're all just sitting back and listening to victoria nuland tell them what we need to do. how much has this penetrated the psyche of washington d.c.? here's a sad piece of tape, this is joni ernst. nice republican, sort of reasonable on most things from the midwest now sounded like a war monger. sounded like adam schiff when she talks about vladimir putin. >> he needs to say to vladimir putin that we are no longer going to allow you to continue with the nord stream 2 pipeline. we need you to know and understand that we will defend ukraine, we will provide them assistance. he needs to make that very clear. >> tucker: putin is so bad we're going to cut off natural gas to western europe in retaliation against him in december. we're going to freeze germany and luxembourg and that will teach vladimir putin. again, what you just saw there is a child who has no idea what she's talking about but keeps talking anyway. we will defe

wicker of mississippi. that's what they're doing in your name. are they defending you, standing up for your country? no, they voted for pete buttigieg's fake infrastructure bill. that's it for us. a new book. it's a pretty good book called "the long slide." order it from tuckercarlson capsoff.com. have a great evening. >> sean: the reckless spending on capitol hill, it continues, yeah, though rino republicans that you just heard. information skyrocketing. we are stealing money from our own children. republicans are helping to enable it. the $1 trillion down payment on the green new deal just passed the senate with republican support. senator john kennedy said the bill was full of stupid stuff. keep in mind the 1 trillion is in addition to the 600 billion already spent on top of

senator roger wicker is a republican representing the state of mississippi. he joins us tonight. senator, thanks for coming on.. >> thank you. >> tucker: what is the american national security interest that would bere served by regime change in syria? >> well, if you care about israel, you have to be interested at least inin what's going on in syria. we're fighting isis there. iran is seeking to dominate the whole region. i think we have national interests in syria.av but let me say this about what candidate trump may have said or what he said before he was a candidate. you know, there is information you receive when you are president of the united states that you really don't have as are candidate. and i appreciate the president putting a team around him that i have a confidence in. secretary mattis and general dunford, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, i think, are going to give the president good advice. john bolton starting today and i think -- >> tucker: there are smart and decent people around him. >> tell him what he needs to hear. >> tucker: there is certainly a

we had senator roger wicker on the show monday to talk about syria, he did even tried to explain how a war might help the u.s. instead he suggests that we are agents of boudin. putin. the two groups have a lot in common it turns out. other pendants accuse us of disloyalty, all without answering our questions. shut up they explained. over at cbs, they responded with ridicule. stephen colbert hosts a show on cbs, but he's not stupid. he's smart enough to engage in a conversation that might reveal him as a mindless warmonger posing as a criminal. >> it's unprecedented that the president's personal lawyer gets rolled up by johnny law. everybody is covering this, that includes fox news, tucker carlson last night wasted no time and going straight at addressing our national nightmare. >> tucker: you know the official story about pandas, they're cute, but almost helpless. pandas could easily kill you if they felt like it. sometimes they don't. [laughter] >> thank god they don't. and thank god that tucker is covering what historians will call the pandemonium. obviously, he didn't have time to

the first person we asked those questions to come out republik and senator roger wicker implied we were with vladimir putin just for asking. others just denounced us right off the top. he is insane, meaning me. "the new york post" summarized "shut the f up." these are journalists by the way. of course, shutting the f up is the point of tweets like that. they want you to be quiet, they want you to do what you're told. shut up and obey. there's no chance of that, sorry. glenn greenwald has been following all of this. he joins us tonight. you are leaving aside real question of how you should respond to syria and is it a threat to the world order, i think that's a fair question. why the universal attempt in the media, to shut down a meaningful conversation about it? >> the only time i think the media praised donald trump was almost one year ago today when he got an airfield in syria and response to what had been alleged at the time. people who hate donald trump go on air every day, took a break for 24 hours to complain him him residential because that's what u.s. presidents do. they drop bo

[cheers and applause] you'll hopefully be our next senator from the great, great, great state of tennessee. good. i just saw great numbers on you, by the way. where's steve? steve, how are you, steve? kevin kramer, who's leading in his senate race. kevin, where's kevin? kevin, you're leading. we have a lot of people leading these races. a number just came down from reuters. a few months ago we were 16 down in generic poll, whatever that's supposed to mean. nobody really knows what it means. we were 16 down. reuters came out two hours ago, and we're one up. that's a big difference. they say that

you have roger wicker, senator, a ranking republican on energy and commerce. senator fisher from nebraska. you have two members from the house again transportation and aviation or where they're coming from. and so we got people on the republican side saying let's limit the definition to what really constitutes traditional infrastructure and second of all, see how much we can pay for as part of the covid relief bills that has not been spent and see how much of that can we -- >> martha: there's a contest. unbelievable. yeah. trillions still on the table from the covid relief bills. we talked to larry kudlow. a trillion max to do the kinds of infrastructure that needs to be done across the country. karl, thank you. a lot of breaking news. now back to minneapolis where the police chief is speaking. >> that goes until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. whether that is getting on social media, picking up the telephone, encourage as much as we can get the message out there, as much as you can influence on our young people, encourage them to do so. again, we hold two truths.
