senator roger wicker was one of them. he came on the show a year 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 reasons the state of mississippi. what percentage of his voters could possibly agree with this standard? 10%? probably too high an estimate. 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 figure out the scam that is neo-conservativism. one news account this week

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

senator roger wicker of mississippi. another u.s. senator also the target of a suspected letter although it has not been confirmed that second senate letter contained ricin. continuing our discussion with former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., john bolton. ambassador bolton, there have been concerns over the years, you know, that some of these states that don't necessarily see eye-to-eye with the united states, countries like iran and or north korea, might try some of these relatively crude methods to sow the seeds of disruption in this country to cause chaos and panic. do you see any indications this kind of thing is happening in this case? >> i don't think we have any evidence of that here but for many, many years, biological and chemical warfare has been called the poor man's nuclear weapon. it's not nearly as expensive to put together these programs. there are more states that have chemical or biological weapons perhaps than have nuclear programs. of course the risk is the perfect storm, putting one of these weapons of mass destruct

wicker, america deserves better than roger wicker it's to say. but they live in an errorless world with a repeat facts to 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. of what -- 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 americanti 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

wicker and a local judge. now he is a free man. let's start with the senate majority leader reid there's been another incident. >> ent know a whole lot. the story is moving in number of different directions at the same time, if there is another letter, not a surprise. if it's connected with the original three letters, during an initial appearance for kevin crore tis, u.s. concerns were saying there may be a fourth letter out there. apparently, according to senator harry reid was at bolling air force base, just south of washington, dc. here's what the senator said. >> we have had another incident today, i'm told, at bolling air for barracks they sim nuns. so -- same substance. >> her is what is going on with kevin curtis who was brought up on charges on thursday of threatening the life of the president. he is out on bond now. his attorneys are saying the fbi made a huge move stake here for claiming their client is 1,000 percent instant and may have been framed. this would fit the narrative of a conversation i h

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

senator roger wicker. that test came back positive for risin poison and we don't know a whole lot at this point about the letter. we know that it was postmarked memphis, tennessee. had no return address. but otherwise, did not look suspicious. the f.b.i. is saying that initial testing was inconsistent. so an accredited lab is working to confirm the presence of risin and those results should be in within 24 to 48 hours. in the meantime, we know risin can be deadly and we know there is no antidote. so senators were briefed on the latest details last night. >> not just members concerned, it rarely gets to a member before it gets to a lot of staff. that's a big concern obviously for all of us. we're very anxious to get more details. >> democratic senator claire mccaskill from missouri says investigators suspect a man who sends a lot of letters to lawmakers may be behind this. the law maker whose name is on this particular suspicious envelope says this matter is part of an ongoing investigation by the united st

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

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

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

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.

mississippi senator roger wicker on all of that very shortly, in the meantime, to mark meredith on how this is all going down, fueled by not only the president stating that this is the only way to do it, republicans, at a jobs report which might have helped his argument. mark? reporter: neil, good morning to you right that jobs report is having an impact on the discussions. president biden counting on house and senate democrats to pass his $1.9 trillion stimulus package. republicans want the president to reign in spending but the president made it clear yesterday that he's willing to do this on a party line vote if necessary to fund a few priorit ies like the $1,400 round of stimulus checks that he wants to see go out, more money for food assistance programs, as well as extending those enhanced federal unemployment benefits. the president making it directly in a speech on friday. >> others think that things are getting better and we can afford to sit back, either do little or do nothing at all. that's not what i see. i see enormous pain in this country. reporter: this week, a group of

martha: very strong words from senator ayote there and i am joined by mississippi senator roger wicker, who's a republican who serves on the budget committee and the armed services committee as well. senator, welcome, good to have you here this morning. >> glad to be with you. martha: how will you vote and why? >> i will vote no for the very same reason senator ayote just outlined. i think when we did the, when we do a budget we know there has to be some pain. there is a little give-and-take everywhere. i expect ad fee to go up, an assessment, a maybe a little more withholding. i never dreamed though that we would take military retirees who have already done their part of the bargain, who already served their 20 years and tell them that retroactively we're going to cut their cost of living adjustment back by 1%. i can't imagine that we're doing this to the people who stepped forward to serve our country with a military career and we're, it amounts to $83,000 lifetime for the average enlisted retiree. over $120,000 lifetime for the average officer. a huge burden when we're supposed to b

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'
