to look forward to. >> sure. and i'd like to point out for the record ha you also have a pile of candy in the weather center. >> it's much smaller though. >> oh, man. >> i ev've been eating it. in

Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo 20201108

74 million. >> [applause] maria: while at the white house, president trump says the votes are wrong, and he is readying new lawsuits to drop tomorrow morning and all week, this upcoming week containing what he says is evidence of voter fraud and potentially a stolen election. coming up rudy giuliani make the president's as right here and also the road ahead as multiple state lawsuits move through the federal court system , wisconsin senator ted cruz here live on a case that may go all the way up to the supreme court, plus senator lindsey graham and gop leader kevin mccarthy on how republican victories in the house and senate occurred while the president reportedly lost. all that and a lot more as we look ahead right here right now on "sunday morning futures." but first president trump responding to the media's announcement of a biden presidency yesterday, with this statement. the simple fact is the election is far from over. joe biden has not been certified as the winner of any state, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor in pennsylvania for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process, legal votes decide who is president, not the news media writes the president. joining me right now is former new york city mayor president trump's attorney, rudy giuliani. and rudy it is wonderful to have you this weekend thanks very much for being here. >> thank you for having me, maria. maria: so, i know that you've been working all weekend on this the first question everybody wants to know is what is the evidence the president has alluded to in terms of ballot fraud. what can you tell us? >> well, i mean first of all there's a lot of evidence let me see if i can summarize it by- state. some of the developed ready to go into the lawsuit tomorrow and tuesday and wednesday. in philadelphia, the furthest ahead we have about 60 or 70 witnesses. in pennsylvania, and philadelphia and in pittsburgh. in pittsburgh, we have observers who worked for 24 hours kept out of the room or kept away from the room where they were counting the mail-in ballots which of course was highly suspicious ballots. during that period of time at least 135,000 ballots were counted, none of which were observed by any republican observer as the law requires and as is really necessary given the fact that these ballots came in late, they were being brought in by bundles. it looked very much like they were trying to make up the 700,000 difference that they had from election night. then, you go all the way across the state to pittsburgh and we have exactly the same situation happening. republican observers being kept so far away they had to try to use binoculars to see the ballots. they couldn't accomplish that. they counted about 300,000 ballots that went through their process, and even though we went to court, and we were allowed to move six feet closer, the democrat machine people moved the counting place six feet further away. this is documented on video tape there are upwards of 50 witnesses and this will be the subject of a lawsuit that we file tomorrow for violating civil rights for conducting an unfair election, for violat ing the law of the state, for treating pittsburgh and philadelphia different than the rest of the state which is an equal protection violation, which goes under bush vs. gore, this is just something that has to be addressed. there are at least and it's going to go up, maria, i know it because we haven't even had a la kawana county yet so we're at now 450,000 definite mail-in ballots that they separated from the envelope, threw the envelope away. we can never tell if they're valid or not. they could have all been done by one person and we didn't get a chance to observe. it is required that both sides observe and why wouldn't they let us observe? you have to be stupid not to figure out why, because for three days they were laboring to make up the 700,000- vote deficit they had in a city that is an epicenter of voter fraud. over the last 60 years there have been so many cases of voter fraud in philadelphia. joe frazier voted in the 2018 election five years after he was dead. will smith's grandfather voted twice after he died so then we're going to be looking at dead person's ballots which may actually be very very substantial, and then another one that might be just as challenging except we need a little more time, a lot of there was a lot of back-dating. back-dating of votes that came in after the deadline and we have evidence now from not only the post office but from others that there was back-baiting. i can only tell you right now that amounts to about two or 3,000 votes, but that could be much much bigger. then we have dead people voting we haven't analyzed that yet. and then we have people who say they didn't vote or they did vote and their vote hasn't been registered. you put that altogether we're up to about eight or 900,000 votes that were completely invalid and we haven't even have three days of the investigation. in michigan we have a similar situation. numbers are a little bit less. maria: so the president is going to be dropping these lawsuits tomorrow. i mean, what can you tell us about how many? is it state-by-state lawsuits? is this one big lawsuit and do you believe that you have enough to actually change the fate of the election? >> well i think we have enough to change pennsylvania. the pennsylvania election was a disaster. i mean, i only gave you the highlights. we have people that observe people being pushed out of the polling place. we have people who were suggested to vote the other way and shown how to do it. i'm giving you the big picture, where the numbers are such that you could reverse the call. that is the 450,000 that were not observed of mail ballots and remember, the mail ballots were set from the beginning to be with fraud and instead of taking more care with them they handled like a star chamber proceeding. they literally counted these ballots in secret and they counted these ballots in secret for only one reason. these ballots were always the ballots they were going to use to try to catch up if they were behind, and it is not a coincidence that it happened in eight different democrat states, which means they had to be in order from somewhere, so where do we have them? we have big numbers, definitely in michigan. not quite the numbers that we have in pennsylvania, but enough to overturns the result there. it looks like we'll have very big numbers in nevada. we have pretty big numbers in wisconsin. we have four or five witnesses already in georgia. we have similar numbers in arizona, so we got five states in which we have the same three issues. not being allowed to look at the mail-in ballots at all. maria: right. >> people who have back-dated, who really have back-dated entries in other words if it's supposed to be in by close of business on the third it actually says the fourth they change it to the third and then we have dead people voting and we have people whose vote wasn't counted. that's in all of those states and i think the first lawsuit will be pennsylvania. the second will either be michigan or georgia and over the course of the week we should get it all pulled together but those are facts of fraud. not allegations of fraud. yesterday, i can't show all the witnesses. first of all they're scared but i showed two of the 50 witnesses in fact now we've shown three of the 50 witnesses, and i'd be happy to put out one or two more just to show people that they say to you where's the evidence? i'd point to the witness. they have the evidence, my friend. i know democrats aren't used to it it's called the witness taking an oath swearing under oath. maria: so you're saying that this is not episodic local situations, mistakes about dead people. you're saying this is systematic you're saying this is systemic? >> ten states. well i'll tell you what the systemic, not allowing us to see the mail ballots. and i'm going to tell you i know why. that i think we can prove by circumstantial evidence and a little bit of direct evidence. this was a nationwide plan by the democrats to catch up so you don't keep people -- maria: but rudy are you being flat-footed? did you get flat-footed? we were talking about the potential for cheating. i mean even i said look it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt after we know what happened in 2016 with the coo. going into this , so, how come the observers weren't in place? were you flat-footed now after this? >> no. why do you think we know about it? because the observers were in place and they were pushed out of place. the first lawsuit was brought on the day of the election. we couldn't have brought it any earlier. the first lawsuit in philadelphia was brought on the day of the election. the day after the election, while they were counting the court allowed us to be six feet closer, and they moved six feet away. no, we brought this as early as possible as the lawsuit started. maria: you've got 10 lawsuits coming out in this upcoming week >> right now, we have one. we have two that are being drafted, and the potential is 10 we haven't investigated all of those states, you want an estimate by the end of the week we'll have four or five. maria: rudy before you go, where is ag barr on this? if this was systemic and everybody has all this evidence where is the doj? >> the answer to that is i don't know and i can't worry about it and when you say we were flat-footed that really isn't fair. i mean, we had about 8,000 people out there and they started registering these complaints at about 8:00 in the morning, and the legal team here took action immediately all during election day we were bringing actions in court to preserve this. it takes a while to collect 2,000 affidavits of which we have about half now. maria: okay so in other words you're saying that will the president concede anytime soon i guess is my final question. given all of this. >> it really be wrong for him at this point it be wrong for him to concede. there is strong evidence that this was an election that at least three or four states and possibly 10, it was stolen. in other words it was based on false votes. now you can't let that election go into history without challengeing that. maria: how do you will it take, rudy? through the federal court system how long will it take? >> i'm not the only one doing this , there are many many lawyers all doing it as fast as we possibly can consistent with being able to put it together correctly. maria: are you expecting it to go to the supreme court? are you expecting it to go to the supreme court? >> i can't predict that. nobody can predict it but you know, more likely than not, this is not going to get resolved at the state court level. i mean they're not going to accept the decision of disqualifying 500,000 votes in pennsylvania and we sure aren't going to accept the decision on account of the fact that we were cheated. maria: rudy we're going to talk with sidney powell later in the show and i'll ask her about this software system. >> she knows a lot more about that than i do. maria: okay. okay. >> there's some that have resulted, sidney is on top of that. she knows the whole thing. maria: we will talk with her later on in the program. thank you so much for joining us we of course we be covering this rudy thank you. >> there will be plenty more this week. maria: rudy giuliani coming up gop leader kevin mccarthy on expanding the gop reach in the house with more women, veterans, minorities what he says republicans rejected nancy pelosi and the radical left as we look ahead on "sunday morning futures", stay with us. ♪ we made usaa insurance for veterans like martin. when a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa maria: welcome back. big victories in the 2020 congressional races with early numbers showing that the gop gained at least 4 million new voters with president trump receiving more non-white votes than any republican candidate in 60 years house republicans are also expecting up to 13 new seats with victories for incoming women, veterans, minorities, house minority leader kevin mccarthy joins me right now and congressman it's great to see you this morning thanks very much for joining us and this morning we're learning of another victory, darrel issa in california's 50th district winning his race. assess the situation for us, and before that, maybe you want to comment on what you just heard from rudy giuliani in terms of this active litigation that is to come with lawsuits dropping tomorrow, congressman. >> well what we need in the presidential race is to make sure every legal vote is counted , every recount is completed, and every legal challenge should be heard. then, and only then, that america will decide who won the race. remember, maria, we were less than 21,000 votes away where the house we couldn't win the majority. there are a number of seats, ten seats still sitting out there republicans are leading in three they haven't called any of those so why would you call the presidential race first? remember the framework i was on your show just the sunday before the election. they said in the house, republicans would lose 15-20 seats, every polster said that, speaker pelosi and steny hoyer. they also said we would lose the senate and legislatures as well. what happened? we didn't lose one incumbent. we won every seat except one open. we won 28 of the 29 most competitive seats that was laid out there. we are gaining in less than 21,000 votes away. we didn't lose the senate. we didn't lose one control of any legislature. actually, republicans gained three new legislatures and we've had the most competitive presidential race in our modern history. that's why every vote should be counted every recount to go forward, and every challenge should be heard, because if it's still good to keep going on these congressional seats, i think we should actually do that as well for the highest office in the land. maria: well i think you make a really good point particularly after the media has taken us down many rabbit holes before, russia collusion, obstruction, an impeachment trial based on no crime and then a democratic blue wave and now of course this. let me ask you about nancy pelosi. she has sent a letter out to members asking for their support , she wants what does that mean for you and will they stay as speaker in your view? >> we'll only know in january because to become speaker you have to have 218 votes on the floor. when she went up for that vote two years ago, there were 15 democrats who voted against her. ten of those democrats will be coming to congress. those 10 vote against her again, she will not be speaker of the house, because she won't have 218 because of the gains of the republicans. we are close enough now that we can control the floor with a few democrats joining with us. remember what america just said. they rejected the socialism. we won from miami to new york to minnesota to california. we won by republican women winning. we'll have more women in congress as republicans than in the history of congress. that says something about what president trump has been able to do to expand this party, bring diversity and that brings strength. the same thing that brings strength to america, diversity is now a republican party as well. maria: well that's great news. is she facing the extreme left in terms of how to govern, maybe it's better for you to become speaker in two years if she stay s in place. tell me about the in-fighting going on on the other side? >> well i think it's better for america the sooner a republican becomes speaker but she promised them that she would win enough seats that the they would keep the majority this time and next time. now, not one, not one they didn't defeat one republican and now, in their own conference call and they are yelling at one another whether they should call themselves socialists or not and think about who lost. the secretary of health and a socialist and we defeated a sitting chairman of the committee as well. maria: common it's good to see you this morning when we come back senator lindsey graham is here with brand new never- before seen evidence of 2020 voter fraud wait until you see what he says proves fraud and why he believes the president should not concede , when we come back. the most dangerous thing about rheumatoid arthritis is often unseen. because the pain you're feeling could be a sign of irreversible joint damage. every day you live with pain, swelling, and stiffness... you risk not being able to do the things you love. especially in these times, it's important to keep up with your rheumatologist. schedule an appointment today.

south carolina. his win brings the republicans one seat closer to holding on to the senate majority in a battle that will likely be decided by two georgia run off races on january 5. joining me is senator lindsey graham, senator congratulations on your fourth term. >> thank you. maria: good morning to you. >> thank you. thank you. maria: i want to talk to you about the balance of the senate in a moment but first let me get your reaction to the media declaring joe biden the 46th president and tell us about the evidence that you have of dead people voting in this past election. >> well number one, this is a contested election the media doesn't decide who becomes president. if they did you'd never have a republican president forever, so we're discounting them. so, what happened? the trump team has canvassed all early voters and absentee mail in ballots in pennsylvania, and they've found over 100 people they think were dead but 15 people that we verified that have been dead who voted but here is the one that gets me. six people registered after they died and voted and in pennsylvania i guess you're never out of it. if republicans don't challenge and change the u.s. election system, they'll never be another republican president elected again. president trump should not concede. we're down to less than 10,000 votes in georgia. he's going to win north carolina we've gone from 93,000 votes to less than 20,000 votes in arizona where there are more votes to be counted there are allegations of system failure, do not concede these computers in michigan do not pass the smell test keep fighting for every legal and live vote. maria: well senator, you were briefed by the campaign yesterday, and one thing that we spoke about over the phone this weekend was this postal worker who has a sworn affidavit saying that supervisors were back-dating ballots what can you tell us about that? >> the fbi is investigating along with a postal inspector and our committee will be talking to this gentleman. i don't know where that goes but i do know that we have evidence of six people in pennsylvania registering after they died and voting after they died and we haven't looked at the entire system, so to my republican colleagues out there. we have to fight back or we will accept our fate. i want pennsylvania to explain to the american people how six people after they die with register and vote in pennsylvania. i want the computer systems in michigan that flip votes from republicans to democrats to be looked at and the software was used all over the country. there's a lot of shenanigans going on here, and if i were president trump, i would take all this to court, i'd fight back, and from a republican point of view, mail-in balloting is a nightmare for us. the post office is now the new election center. it's the wild-wild west when it comes to mail-in balloting everything we worried about has come true so if we don't fight back in 2020 we're never going to win again presidentially a lot is at stake here. maria: senator you sent a letter to attorney general bill barr and director wray saying that your office has received the affidavit from richard hopkins the postal worker in erie pennsylvania. what are you going to do with this evidence and what are you expecting the doj to do? >> well they already talked to him i know that and we'll try to interview the gentleman. that's an allegation we'll see if it withstands scrutiny. i know we got evidence of dead people voting in pennsylvania. i know we have evidence of computers flipping republican votes to democratic votes. there's a lot of things being alleged out there that need to be looked at. the media could give a damn how trump loses as long as he loses. they declared biden the winner, they'll never take any of this stuff seriously. they just shut out all cross- fire hurricane oversight. the bottom line is we can't let the media run america. we have to fight back. we have to go to court. we have to hold the people's feet to the fire in these states and statistically, biden got more votes than obama in a few areas of the country and only in a few areas, how could that be? why did he get more votes than obama in areas that mattered that decided the election and not other parts of the country? there's so much to be looked at and i'm hell-bent on looking at it. do not accept the media's declaration of biden. fight back. maria: well you know, you make a good point because you could look at that, the fact that he got more votes than president obama. he could also look at the fact that you did so well, your opponent raised $57 million in the third quarter alone, shattering senate records. voters voted you to re-election term and the saying we just heard with kevin mccarthy, it's odd to me that that would happen and president trump still loses. tell me about the georgia run off in january. this is critical in terms of whether or not if joe biden is the president, he will be able to get through some of those progressive policies that many people are afraid of like big spending programs and big tax increases. >> well the most valuable player for the congressional races in 2020 is donald trump. the campaign that president trump ran all these rallies getting on the court energize republicans and house members, we picked up seats in the house. how can you pick up seats in the house and hold the senate and trump lose? so, i can tell you right now, president trump helped in south carolina. he helped thillis. he helped us all so the bottom line is, how republicans have increased their majority. they can slow down the radical agenda coming out of the house, but senate republicans can kill it and stop it. if we pick up these two republican seats in georgia, we have the ability to stop the most radical agenda in the history of the united states kevin mccarthy can slow it down. mitch mcconnell and lindsey graham and others can stop it only if we win georgia. we have to win these two seats in georgia. i'm confident that we will. to the people of georgia, the future of america is in your hands. do you want to socialized america? if you don't, seem up and support our republican candidate s. checks and balances are needed now more than ever. maria: we only have a couple seconds here so are you commit ting, right here, right now, that you will stop any progressive plans that come to you, you will vote no to 4.3 trillion in tax increases, you'll vote no to the green new deal is that what you're commit ting to right here? >> you can take it to the bank. i ran on it and i won overwhelmingly being an impediment, a block to the most radical domestic agenda in the history of the country. we will kill it dead in the senate if you give us the majority. we will work with biden if he wins but trump has not lost. do not concede, mr. president. fight hard. maria: okay, senator great to see you this morning thank you so much, take a break and when we come back i'll be talking with senator ted cruz on why he says it is not the national media that decides the president he's going to talk to us about this pending litigation and what that could mean, the serious disputes moving through the federal court system. plus, what he says about the georgia run off that will determine the balance of power in the senate. stay with us right after this. r. this couple was on a camping trip... ...when their windshield got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service you can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ maria: welcome back. as you heard this weekend, the media reporting that joe biden will become the 46th president of the united states even as the 2020 election is ongoing, with federal lawsuits pending in several states, and as rudy giuliani told us earlier in the program, more are coming. this as georgia heads toward a recount, the results in wisconsin and michigan are also being contested, breaking news this morning from rudy giuliani. the president's attorney, senator ted cruz sits on the senate judiciary committee, he was part of president george w. bush's 2000 florida recount team, and senator it is always an honor to have you on this program thanks for being here. >> good morning, maria good to be with you. maria: first, assess where we are, you heard this weekend what we saw in terms of president-elect and vice president-elect from the media. what do you believe is the status of this race? >> well, i think that is way premature at this point we do not know who has prevailed in the election. the media is desperately trying to get everyone to get joe biden as the next president but that's not how it works. the media does not get to select our president. the american people get to elect our president, and at this point , we got numerous states that are very closely and vigorously contested from pennsylvania to georgia to arizona to new mexico, to michigan, to wisconsin, and all of those states there are serious disputes about the vote totals, and there's a legal process to resolve those dispute s so at this point, we should allow the rule of law to operate. we should allow the legal process to move forward and when that process is concluded, which it will be in a matter of weeks, we will know who prevailed in the elections but the fact that the big news rooms in new york city want donald trump to lose, they don't get to decide that. that's a question for the voters maria: we are looking at multiple recounts in multiple states. we just heard from rudy giuliani , he's going to be dropping a lawsuit in pennsylvania tomorrow. other lawsuits throughout the week he said by the end of the week he'll have five lawsuits and there are 10 states , he says, that are potentially stolen. 800,000 votes in question according to rudy giuliani. walk us through the process. you are a constitutionalist and expert on the supreme court. how does this work in terms of the federal court system with these lawsuits pending? >> well, we seen multiple lawsuits already filed. i expect there will be more lawsuits filed probably in each of those states that i mentioned and maybe more. we may well see states cases filed both in state court and in federal court. we will have trials on the matters that are contested, and the purpose of a trial is to hear evidence. we're hearing lots of allegation s of a dead person voted. we heard a report from one county in michigan where the election software mistakenly counted 6,000 votes that were cast for donald trump. it switched them to joe biden. now they apparently caught that but that same software is used in 47 counties throughout michigan. that needs to be examined to determine that there's not a problem counting the votes, and the legal process is how you resolve those questions. you know, one of the frustrating things just as an american watching this is you hear all these allegations of what's going on and it's hard to know what the facts are and hard to know what the truth is. well we have a process for ascertaining the truth which is that you can go and present evidence and attest it in a court court of law and then those appeals will go up both through the state and federal appellate system and in this case could very easily end up at the u.s. supreme court. you mentioned bush vs. gore, which i was part of representing then-governor george w. bush. in the course of 36 days, we had multiple cases throughout the state of florida. it went twice to the florida supreme court. it went twice to the u.s. supreme court. it took 36 days to resolve, and we got an answer. i would expect a similar process to play out here, despite the media trying to tell everyone give up, go home, we know who we want to win. that's not how it works. we need to follow the law, and that means allowing the legal process to play out. maria: so we did not learn about the results from gore vs. bush until december of that year, right? >> that's right and if you look at the federal statute that. >> governor: ers governs the timing of presidential elections it actually anticipate s there will be recounts, that there will be contested litigation. if you look at the federal statute december 12 is the date that the electors meet to vote. december 8 is what's called the safe harbor deadline which is that any contest election before that, if it's resolved, that resolution is presumed valid, so the federal statute anticipates that they're going to be contest, there are going to be recounts and here is one dynamic that's important to understand, that particularly in this covid time, this has been a strange election. on election day, donald trump won a large majority of the votes counted on election day. that was true throughout the country. with mail-in votes that were early votes joe biden won a significant majority of the mail-in votes that came in. now in several states we're going to see a recount process. a recount process you look at those votes, determine if they're accurate or fraudulent, if they have sufficient signatures and meet the statutory standards for a legal vote and what is interesting is historically mail -in votes are much more likely to be disqualified in a recount than in-person votes generally in-person votes they're conducted at the polling place and they usually stand. that means what we're likely to see in the next few weeks is the recounts go forward is that joe biden's very very narrow majorities in some of these states, those totals are likely to drop if we see mail-in votes when they're examined being in validated as contrary to the law so we could easily see i believe president trump still has a path to victory and that path is to count every single legal vote that was cast, but also not to cast any votes that were fraudulently cast or illegally cast and we have a legal process to determine what's legal and what isn't. maria: understood. i want to switch gears and ask you about the balance of power in the senate ahead of these run off races in january, in georgia if you have chuck schumer asthma leader, what does that look like tell me about the importance of this january run off race, what it will mean for kitchen table issues for all of us. >> well, the next two months are extraordinarily important. it looks like right now in the senate we're 52-48. the media still hasn't called north carolina thom tillis but it looks like thom has a significant lead and will rib win that race if that's the case there are two republican sents in the run off and that run off occurs on january 5. if the total is 52-48 if the democrats win both of those seats, we have a democratic senate assuming joe biden is president, kamala harris is vice president, if the democrats win georgia they have a majority. if republicans win, we have a majority. i can not overstate how important to the country those two seats are. i'll be traveling to georgia, i've spoken with both david purdue and kelly loeffler, the two senators i've told them i'm all in anything i can do to help the answer is yes and the difference if we had a chuck schumer senate and a joe biden presidency they will pack the u.s. supreme court, they will end the filibuster and pass massive tax increases and they will pass the green new deal destroying millions of jobs if we have a republican senate, none of that happens and so it really is, by the way if they have a democratic senate they will add two new states to the country to give them, they believe, four new democratic senators, so if you want to check, hopefully joe biden does not prevail at the end of this but if you want to check on joe biden if you don't want to go over the edge to the socialist abyss, georgia is the big enchilada. i'm going to be there and everyone who wants to see some calm, reason and sanity, georgia is the battle where that's going to be determined. maria: understood senator great to see you and pick up the senator's book "one vote away" senator ted cruz good to see you

with one in pennsylvania tomorrow, along with what our next guest says is evidence of voter fraud. sidney powell is general michael flynn's attorney fighting on on the frontline of this battle as part of the president's legal team. sidney good morning to you. thank you for being here. can you walk us through what has -- >> good morning, maria. maria: what has took place here as you see it? >> yes. there has been a massive and coordinated effort to steal this election from we the people of the united states of america tok delegitimize and destroy votes for donald trump, to manufacture votes for joe biden, they have done it in every way imaginable from having dead people vote in massive numbers to absolutely fraudulently creating ballots that exist only voting for biden. we've identified at least 450,000 ballots in the key states that mariah carey cabbies you luxuriesly only have a mark for joe biden on them, and no other candidate and if you look at florida where things were done right, you can see that that's how the rest of the country should have gone, but they also used an algorithm to calculate the votes they would need to flip and they used the computers to flip those votes from biden i mean from trump to biden and from other republican candidates to their competitors also, and i think doug collins had the race stolen election en from him, i think john james had his race stolen from him. it wasn't just president trump. there were many people affected by this. we have got to fight tooth and nail in federal court to expose this fraud and the conspiracy behind it and get a recount and audits in every place it's needed which is frankly most of the country. maria: so there are recounts going on right now, we know that , in georgia you have a list of numbers of ballots with only joe biden on the ticket. you say it's 98,000 ballots in n pennsylvania, 80 to 90,000 in georgia, another 42000 in arizona, 69 to 115,000 in michigan, and 62000 in wisconsin sidney, if this is true, this appears systemic. where is the department of justice where is the ag bill barr? if this is so obvious then why aren't we seeing massive government investigation s? >> i don't know. we definitely should be. we're getting reports of all kinds of fraud. we've getting an affidavit from a postal worker now who talks about having been ordered to back-date ballots. no ballots received after the polls closed on voting day should even be counted. we've got multiple states that didn't even follow the rule of their own legislature that's a federal constitutional issue. there are at least three major federal issues here that will require the supreme court to resolve this case, and when the votes are really audited and the real votes are counted trump will win. he is the president and he is in charge of this country. maria: sidney, i want to ask you about these algorithms and the dominion software. i understand nancy pelosi has an interest in this company. let's take a break. we'll come back with that i'm talking with sidney powell this morning on her legal strategy. stay with us. ...so we can spend a bit today, knowing we're prepared for tomorrow. wow dad, do you think

contesting this election. sidney, we talked about the dominion software. i know that there were voting irregularities. tell me about that. >> that's put it mildly. the computer glitches could not and should not have happened at all. that's where the fraud took place where they were flipping votes in the computer system or adding votes that did not exist we need an audit of all of the computer systems that played any role in this fraud whatsoever, and joe biden had it right. he said that he had the biggest voter fraud organization ever and he didn't need people's votes now. he would need people later. they had this all planned, maria they had the algorithms, they had the paper ballots waiting to be inserted if and when needed and notably president trump's vote in the blue states went up enormously. that's when they had to stop the vote count, and go in and replace votes for biden and takeaway trump votes. maria: i've never seen voting machines stop in the middle of an election, stop down and assess the situation. i also see reports that nancy pelosi's long time chief of staff is the key executive at that company, richard blum, senator feinstein's husband significant shareholder of the company. what can you tell us about the interest on the other side of this dominion software? >> well, obviously, they have invested in it for their own reasons and are using it to commit this fraud to steal votes i think they've even stolen them from other democrats in their own party who should be outraged about this also. bernie sanders might very well have been the

74 million. [cheers and applause] maria: while at the white house, president trump says the votes are wrong and he is readying new lawsuits to drop tomorrow morning and all week, inthis upcoming week, containing what he says is evidence of voter and ballot fraud, potentially a stolen election. coming up, rudy giuliani and sidney powell make the president's case, right here. also, the road ahead as multiple state lawsuits move through the federal court system with senator ted cruz here live on a case that may go all the way up to the supreme court. plus, senator lindsey graham and kevin mccarthy on how the republican victories in the house and senate occurred while the president reportedly lost. all that and a lot more as we look ahead right here, right now on sunday morning futures. ♪ but first, president trump responding to the media's announcement ofdi a biden presidency yesterday with this statement. the simple fact is the election is far from over. joe biden hasar not been certifd as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. in pennsylvania our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. legal votes who is president not the niece media -- news media, writes the president. joining me right now is the president's attorney, rudy giuliani. thanks very much for being here. >> thank you for having me, maria. maria: so i know that you've been working all weekend on this, the first question everybody wants to know is what is the evidence the president has alluded to in terms of ballot fraud? what can you tell us? >> well, i mean, first of all, there's a lot of evidence. let me see if i can summarize it by state. some of it developed, red i do go into a lawsuit tomorrow and tuesday and wednesday. in philadelphia, we're the furthest ahead. we have 60 or 70 witnesses in pennsylvania, in philadelphia and in pittsburgh. in pittsburgh, we have observers who were for 24 hours kept out of the room or kept away from the room where they were counting the mail-in ballots which is highly suspicious ballots. during that period of time, 135 ballots were counted, none of which were observed by any republican observer as the law requires and as is really necessary, given the fact that these ballots came in late, they were being brought in by bundles. looked very much like they were trying to make up they 700,000 difference that they had from election night. then, you go all the way across to pittsburgh and we have exactly the same situation happening. republican observers being kept so far away they had to try to use binoculars to see the ballots. they couldn't accomplish that. they count about 300,000 ballots that went through that process. and even thoughot we went to court, and we were allowed to move six feet closer, the democrat machine people moved the counting place six feet further away. this is documented on videotape. there are upwards of 50 witnesses and this will be the subject of a lawsuit that we file tomorrow for violating civil rights, for conducting an unfair election, for violating the law of the state, for treating pittsburgh and philadelphia different than the rest of the state which is an equal protection election. this is something that has to be addressed. there are at least -- it's going to go up, maria. i knoww it. because we haven't handled lakawana county yet. we're at 450,000 definite mail-in ballots that they separated from the envelope, threw the envelope away. we can never tell if they're valid or not. they could have all been done by one person and we didn't get a chance to observe. it is required that both sides observe and why wouldn't they let us observe? you have to be stupid not to figure out why. forau three days, they were laboring to make up the 700,000 vote deficit they had in a city that is an epicenter of voter fraud. over the last 60 years there have been so many cases of voter fraud in 23eu philadelphia. joe fraser voted in an election five years after he was dead. we'll be looking at dead person's ballots which may be very, very substantial. and then another one that might be just as challenging, except we need more time, a lot of -- there was a lots of back dating, back dating of votes that came in after the deadline and we have evidence now from not only the post office, but from others, that there was back dating. i can only tell you right now that amounts to about 2 or 3,000 votes. but that could be much, much bigger. then we have dead people voting. we haven't analyzed that yet. then we have people who say they didn't vote or they did vote and their vote hasn't been registered. you put that all together we're up to 8, 900,000 votes that were completely invalid. we only had three days of investigation. and in michigan we have a similar situation. numbers are a little bit less. maria: the president is going to be dropping these lawsuits tomorrow. i mean, what can you tell us about how many? is this state by state lawsuits? is this one big lawsuit? and do you believe that you have enough to actually change the fate of the election? >> well, i think we have enough to change pennsylvania. the pennsylvania election was a disaster. i mean, i only gave you the highlights. i mean,nl we have people that observe people being pushed out of the polling place. we have people who were suggested to vote the other way and shown how to do it. i'm giving you the big picture where the numbers are such you could reverse the call. that is, the 450,000 that were not observed of mail ballots. remember, thets mail ballots wee t said from the beginning to be fraught with fraud. instead of taking more care with them, they handled it like a star chamber proceeding. they literally counted these ballots in secret and they in secret for one reason. these ballots were always the ballots they were going to use toto try to catch up if they wee behind. it is not a coincidence that it happened in eight different democrat states which means there had to be an order from somewhere. where do we have them? we have big numbers definitely in michigan, not quite the numbers that we have in pennsylvania but enough to looks like we're going to have very big t numbers in nevada. we have pretty big numbers in wisconsin. we have four or five witnesses already in georgia. we have similar numbers in arizona. so we've got five states in onwhich we have same three issu. not being allowed to look at the mail-in ballots at all. maria: right. >> people who have back dated, where we have back-dated entries. in other words, it was supposed to be in by close of business on the third. it actually says the fourth. they change it i to the third. and then we have dead people voting. and we have people whose vote wasn't counted. that's in all of those states and i think the first lawsuit will be pennsylvania. the second will either be michigan or georgia. and over the course of the week we should get it all pulled together. those are facts of fraud, not allegations of fraud. tiyesterday i -- i can't show al the witnesses, first of all, they're scared. but i showed two of the 50 witnesses. in fact, now we've shown three of the 50 witnesses and i'd be happy to put out one or two more just to show people -- they say where's the evidence. i point to the witnesses. there's the evidence, my friend. i know democrats aren't used to it. it's called a witness taking an oath, swearing under oath. maria: so you're saying that this is not episodic, local situations, mistakes about dead people. you're saying this is systematic. you're saying this is systemic. >> 10 states. well, i'll tell you what's systemic. not allowing us to see the mail ballots. they -- i know why. that i think we can prove by circumstantial evidence and a little bit of direct evidence. this was a nationwide plan by the democrats to catch up, so you don't keep people -- maria: are you -- >> go ahead. maria: are you being flat-footed. did you get flat-footed? we were talking about the potential for cheating. even i said look, it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt after we know what happened in 2016 with the coup. i mean, going into this, so you how come the observers weren't in place. were youla flat-footed after the election? >> no. why do you think we know about it? because the observers were in placee and they were pushed out of place. the first lawsuit was brought on the day of the election. we couldn't have brought it any earlier. the first lawsuit in e philadelphia was brought on te day of the w election. the day after telex while they n,were counting, the court allod us to be six feet closer and they moved six feet away. maria: you're saying you've got 10 lawsuits. you've got 10 lawsuits coming out this upcoming week. >> right now we have one. we have two that are being draft drafted and the potential is 10. we haven't investigated all the rest of the states. we have evidence in the rest of the state. by the end of the week, we'll have four or five. maria: before you go, where is the -- where is bill barr on this? if this was systemic and you've got all of this evidence, where is the doj? >> the answer to that is i don't know and i can't worry about it and whent you say we were flat-footed that really isn't fair. i mean, we had about 8,000 people out there and they started registering these complaints at about 8:00 in the morning. and the legal team here took action immediately, all during election day we were bringing actions in court so we can preserve this. it takes a while to collect 2,000 affidavits of which we have about half now. maria: okay. so in other words, you're saying that -- will the president concede any time soon i guess is my final question, given all of this. >> it really would be wrong for him, at this point it would be wrong for him to concede. there was strong evidence that this was an election that in at least three or of four states, possibly 10, it was stolen. in other words, it was based on wfalse votes. you can't let an election go into history without challenging that. gore got two months to challenge it. maria: how long do you expect all of this -- through the federal court system, how long will this take? >> i'm not the only one doing this. there are many, many lawyers, we're all doing it as fast as we possibly can, consistent with being able to put it together correctly. maria: are you expecting it to gongge to the supreme court? are you expecting it to go to the supreme court? >> i can't predict that. nobody can predict it. but more likely than not, this is not going to get resolved at the state court level. they're not going to accept the decision of disqualifying 500,000 votes in pennsylvania and we are sure not going to accept the decision that doesn't take account of the fact we were cheated. maria: we're going to talk with sidney powell later in the show. i'm going to ask about the dominion s software system. >> she knows more about that than i do. maria: i know there were glitches. h there were. sidney is on top of that. she knows the whole thing. maria: we will talk with her later on in the program. thank you so much for joining us. we of course will be cover this, rudy. thank you. >> there will be plenty for this week. plenty more. maria: rudy giuliani. coming up, gop leader kevin mccarthy on expanding the gop reach in the house. why he says the public rejected nancy pelosi and the radical left as we look ahead on sunday morning futures. stay with us. morning futures", stay with us. alright, i brought in ensure max protein to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't. [grunting noise] i'll take that. woohoo! 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. ensure max protein. with nutrients to support immune health. ensure max protein. >> tech: every customer has their own safelite story. this couple was on a camping trip... ...when their windshield got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service you can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ maria: welcome back. big victories in the 2020 congressional races with early numbers showing that the gop gained at least 4 million new voters with president trump receiving more non-white votes than any republican candidate in 60 years house republicans are also expecting up to 13 new seats with victories for incoming women, veterans, minorities, house minority leader kevin mccarthy joins me right now and congressman it's great to see you this morning thanks very much for joining us and this morning we're learning of another victory, darrel issa in california's 50th district winning his race. assess the situation for us, and before that, maybe you want to comment on what you just heard from rudy giuliani in terms of this active litigation that is to come with lawsuits dropping tomorrow, congressman. >> well what we need in the presidential race is to make sure every legal vote is counted , every recount is completed, and every legal challenge should be heard. then, and only then, that america will decide who won the race. remember, maria, we were less than 21,000 votes away where the house we couldn't win the majority. there are a number of seats, ten seats still sitting out there republicans are leading in three they haven't called any of those so why would you call the presidential race first? remember the framework i was on your show just the sunday before the election. they said in the house, republicans would lose 15-20 seats, every polster said that, speaker pelosi and steny hoyer. they also said we would lose the senate and legislatures as well. what happened? we didn't lose one incumbent. we won every seat except one open. we won 28 of the 29 most competitive seats that was laid out there. we are gaining in less than 21,000 votes away. we didn't lose the senate. we didn't lose one control of any legislature. actually, republicans gained three new legislatures and we've had the most competitive presidential race in our modern history. that's why every vote should be counted every recount to go forward, and every challenge should be heard, because if it's still good to keep going on these congressional seats, i think we should actually do that as well for the highest office in the land. maria: well i think you make a really good point particularly after the media has taken us down many rabbit holes before, russia collusion, obstruction, an impeachment trial based on no crime and then a democratic blue wave and now of course this. let me ask you about nancy pelosi. she has sent a letter out to members asking for their support , she wants what does that mean for you and will they stay as speaker in your view? >> we'll only know in january because to become speaker you have to have 218 votes on the floor. when she went up for that vote two years ago, there were 15 democrats who voted against her. ten of those democrats will be coming to congress. those 10 vote against her again, she will not be speaker of the house, because she won't have 218 because of the gains of the republicans. we are close enough now that we can control the floor with a few democrats joining with us. remember what america just said. they rejected the socialism. we won from miami to new york to minnesota to california. we won by republican women winning. we'll have more women in congress as republicans than in the history of congress. that says something about what president trump has been able to do to expand this party, bring diversity and that brings strength. the same thing that brings strength to america, diversity is now a republican party as well. maria: well that's great news. is she facing the extreme left in terms of how to govern, maybe it's better for you to become speaker in two years if she stay s in place. tell me about the in-fighting going on on the other side? >> well i think it's better for america the sooner a republican becomes speaker but she promised them that she would win enough seats that the they would keep the majority this time and next time. now, not one, not one they didn't defeat one republican and now, in their own conference call and they are yelling at one another whether they should call themselves socialists or not and think about who lost. the secretary of health and a socialist and we defeated a sitting chairman of the committee as well. maria: common it's good to see you this morning when we come back senator lindsey graham is here with brand new never- before seen evidence of 2020 voter fraud wait until you see what he says proves fraud and why he believes the president should not concede , when we come e e e e wedding day, huh boys? been there, done that. twice your cousin. from boston. karen, i'm just gonna say what everyone here is thinking. you look smokin. total smokeshow. and they never did find his finger. they had to close the pool for like an hour. ♪ i brought a date. name's sam. dig in. love is like boston lager. rich, complex and it's over too soon. right, chrissy? oh my god. ♪ it's time for theraflu hot liquid medicine. powerful relief so you can restore and recover. theraflu hot beats cold. maria: welcome back. my next guest joins us fresh off of his own re-election victory in south carolina. his win brings the republicans one seat closer to holding on to the senate majority in a battle that will likely be decided by two georgia run off races on january 5. joining me is senator lindsey graham, senator congratulations on your fourth term. >> thank you. maria: good morning to you. >> thank you. thank you. maria: i want to talk to you about the balance of the senate in a moment but first let me get your reaction to the media declaring joe biden the 46th president and tell us about the evidence that you have of dead people voting in this past election. >> well number one, this is a contested election the media doesn't decide who becomes president. if they did you'd never have a republican president forever, so we're discounting them. so, what happened? the trump team has canvassed all early voters and absentee mail in ballots in pennsylvania, and they've found over 100 people they think were dead but 15 people that we verified that have been dead who voted but here is the one that gets me. six people registered after they died and voted and in pennsylvania i guess you're never out of it. if republicans don't challenge and change the u.s. election system, they'll never be another republican president elected again. president trump should not concede. we're down to less than 10,000 votes in georgia. he's going to win north carolina we've gone from 93,000 votes to less than 20,000 votes in arizona where there are more votes to be counted there are allegations of system failure, do not concede these computers in michigan do not pass the smell test keep fighting for every legal and live vote. maria: well senator, you were briefed by the campaign yesterday, and one thing that we spoke about over the phone this weekend was this postal worker who has a sworn affidavit saying that supervisors were back-dating ballots what can you tell us about that? >> the fbi is investigating along with a postal inspector and our committee will be talking to this gentleman. i don't know where that goes but i do know that we have evidence of six people in pennsylvania registering after they died and voting after they died and we haven't looked at the entire system, so to my republican colleagues out there. we have to fight back or we will accept our fate. i want pennsylvania to explain to the american people how six people after they die with register and vote in pennsylvania. i want the computer systems in michigan that flip votes from republicans to democrats to be looked at and the software was used all over the country. there's a lot of shenanigans going on here, and if i were president trump, i would take all this to court, i'd fight back, and from a republican point of view, mail-in balloting is a nightmare for us. the post office is now the new election center. it's the wild-wild west when it comes to mail-in balloting everything we worried about has come true so if we don't fight back in 2020 we're never going to win again presidentially a lot is at stake here. maria: senator you sent a letter to attorney general bill barr and director wray saying that your office has received the affidavit from richard hopkins the postal worker in erie pennsylvania. what are you going to do with this evidence and what are you expecting the doj to do? >> well they already talked to him i know that and we'll try to interview the gentleman. that's an allegation we'll see if it withstands scrutiny. i know we got evidence of dead people voting in pennsylvania. i know we have evidence of computers flipping republican votes to democratic votes. there's a lot of things being alleged out there that need to be looked at. the media could give a damn how trump loses as long as he loses. they declared biden the winner, they'll never take any of this stuff seriously. they just shut out all cross- fire hurricane oversight. the bottom line is we can't let the media run america. we have to fight back. we have to go to court. we have to hold the people's feet to the fire in these states and statistically, biden got more votes than obama in a few areas of the country and only in a few areas, how could that be? why did he get more votes than obama in areas that mattered that decided the election and not other parts of the country? there's so much to be looked at and i'm hell-bent on looking at it. do not accept the media's declaration of biden. fight back. maria: well you know, you make a good point because you could look at that, the fact that he got more votes than president obama. he could also look at the fact that you did so well, your opponent raised $57 million in the third quarter alone, shattering senate records. voters voted you to re-election term and the saying we just heard with kevin mccarthy, it's odd to me that that would happen and president trump still loses. tell me about the georgia run off in january. this is critical in terms of whether or not if joe biden is the president, he will be able to get through some of those progressive policies that many people are afraid of like big spending programs and big tax increases. >> well the most valuable player for the congressional races in 2020 is donald trump. the campaign that president trump ran all these rallies getting on the court energize republicans and house members, we picked up seats in the house. how can you pick up seats in the house and hold the senate and trump lose? so, i can tell you right now, president trump helped in south carolina. he helped thillis. he helped us all so the bottom line is, how republicans have increased their majority. they can slow down the radical agenda coming out of the house, but senate republicans can kill it and stop it. if we pick up these two republican seats in georgia, we have the ability to stop the most radical agenda in the history of the united states kevin mccarthy can slow it down. mitch mcconnell and lindsey graham and others can stop it only if we win georgia. we have to win these two seats in georgia. i'm confident that we will. to the people of georgia, the future of america is in your hands. do you want to socialized america? if you don't, seem up and support our republican candidate s. checks and balances are needed now more than ever. maria: we only have a couple seconds here so are you commit ting, right here, right now, that you will stop any progressive plans that come to you, you will vote no to 4.3 trillion in tax increases, you'll vote no to the green new deal is that what you're commit ting to right here? >> you can take it to the bank. i ran on it and i won overwhelmingly being an impediment, a block to the most radical domestic agenda in the history of the country. we will kill it dead in the senate if you give us the majority. we will work with biden if he wins but trump has not lost. do not concede, mr. president. fight hard. maria: okay, senator great to see you this morning thank you so much, take a break and when we come back i'll be talking with senator ted cruz on why he says it is not the national media that decides the president he's going to talk to us about this pending litigation and what that could mean, the serious disputes moving through the federal court system. plus, what he says about the georgia run off that will determine the balance of power in the senate. stay with us right after this. all otc pain relievers including voltaren have one thing in common none are proven stronger or more effective against pain than salonpas patch large there's surprising power in this patch salonpas dependable, powerful relief. hisamitsu. - [announcer] meet the make family-sized meals fast. and because it's a ninja foodi, it can do things no other oven can, like flip away. the ninja foodi air fry oven, the oven that crisps and flips away. some things are good to know. like where to find the cheapest gas in town and which supermarket gives you the most bang for your buck. something else that's good to know?

>> well, i think that is way premature at this point we do not know who has prevailed in the election. the media is desperately trying to get everyone to get joe biden as the next president but that's not how it works. the media does not get to select our president. the american people get to elect our president, and at this point , we got numerous states that are very closely and vigorously contested from pennsylvania to georgia to arizona to new mexico, to michigan, to wisconsin, and all of those states there are serious disputes about the vote totals, and there's a legal process to resolve those dispute s so at this point, we should allow the rule of law to operate. we should allow the legal process to move forward and when that process is concluded, which it will be in a matter of weeks, we will know who prevailed in the elections but the fact that the big news rooms in new york city want donald trump to lose, they don't get to decide that. that's a question for the voters maria: we are looking at multiple recounts in multiple states. we just heard from rudy giuliani , he's going to be dropping a lawsuit in pennsylvania tomorrow. other lawsuits throughout the week he said by the end of the week he'll have five lawsuits and there are 10 states , he says, that are potentially stolen. 800,000 votes in question according to rudy giuliani. walk us through the process. you are a constitutionalist and expert on the supreme court. how does this work in terms of the federal court system with these lawsuits pending? >> well, we seen multiple lawsuits already filed. i expect there will be more lawsuits filed probably in each of those states that i mentioned and maybe more. we may well see states cases filed both in state court and in federal court. we will have trials on the matters that are contested, and the purpose of a trial is to hear evidence. we're hearing lots of allegation s of a dead person voted. we heard a report from one county in michigan where the election software mistakenly counted 6,000 votes that were cast for donald trump. it switched them to joe biden. now they apparently caught that but that same software is used in 47 counties throughout michigan. that needs to be examined to determine that there's not a problem counting the votes, and the legal process is how you resolve those questions. you know, one of the frustrating things just as an american watching this is you hear all these allegations of what's going on and it's hard to know what the facts are and hard to know what the truth is. well we have a process for ascertaining the truth which is that you can go and present evidence and attest it in a court court of law and then those appeals will go up both through the state and federal appellate system and in this case could very easily end up at the u.s. supreme court. you mentioned bush vs. gore, which i was part of representing then-governor george w. bush. in the course of 36 days, we had multiple cases throughout the state of florida. it went twice to the florida supreme court. it went twice to the u.s. supreme court. it took 36 days to resolve, and we got an answer. i would expect a similar process to play out here, despite the media trying to tell everyone give up, go home, we know who we want to win. that's not how it works. we need to follow the law, and that means allowing the legal process to play out. maria: so we did not learn about the results from gore vs. bush until december of that year, right? >> that's right and if you look at the federal statute that. >> governor: ers governs the timing of presidential elections it actually anticipate s there will be recounts, that there will be contested litigation. if you look at the federal statute december 12 is the date that the electors meet to vote. december 8 is what's called the safe harbor deadline which is that any contest election before that, if it's resolved, that resolution is presumed valid, so the federal statute anticipates that they're going to be contest, there are going to be recounts and here is one dynamic that's important to understand, that particularly in this covid time, this has been a strange election. on election day, donald trump won a large majority of the votes counted on election day. that was true throughout the country. with mail-in votes that were early votes joe biden won a significant majority of the mail-in votes that came in. now in several states we're going to see a recount process. a recount process you look at those votes, determine if they're accurate or fraudulent, if they have sufficient signatures and meet the statutory standards for a legal vote and what is interesting is historically mail -in votes are much more likely to be disqualified in a recount than in-person votes generally in-person votes they're conducted at the polling place and they usually stand. that means what we're likely to see in the next few weeks is the recounts go forward is that joe biden's very very narrow majorities in some of these states, those totals are likely to drop if we see mail-in votes when they're examined being in validated as contrary to the law so we could easily see i believe president trump still has a path to victory and that path is to count every single legal vote that was cast, but also not to cast any votes that were fraudulently cast or illegally cast and we have a legal process to determine what's legal and what isn't. maria: understood. i want to switch gears and ask you about the balance of power in the senate ahead of these run off races in january, in georgia if you have chuck schumer asthma leader, what does that look like tell me about the importance of this january run off race, what it will mean for kitchen table issues for all of us. >> well, the next two months are extraordinarily important. it looks like right now in the senate we're 52-48. the media still hasn't called north carolina thom tillis but it looks like thom has a significant lead and will rib win that race if that's the case there are two republican sents in the run off and that run off occurs on january 5. if the total is 52-48 if the democrats win both of those seats, we have a democratic senate assuming joe biden is president, kamala harris is vice president, if the democrats win georgia they have a majority. if republicans win, we have a majority. i can not overstate how important to the country those two seats are. i'll be traveling to georgia, i've spoken with both david purdue and kelly loeffler, the two senators i've told them i'm all in anything i can do to help the answer is yes and the difference if we had a chuck schumer senate and a joe biden presidency they will pack the u.s. supreme court, they will end the filibuster and pass massive tax increases and they will pass the green new deal destroying millions of jobs if we have a republican senate, none of that happens and so it really is, by the way if they have a democratic senate they will add two new states to the country to give them, they believe, four new democratic senators, so if you want to check, hopefully joe biden does not prevail at the end of this but if you want to check on joe biden if you don't want to go over the edge to the socialist abyss, georgia is the big enchilada. i'm going to be there and everyone who wants to see some calm, reason and sanity, georgia is the battle where that's going to be determined. maria: understood senator great to see you and pick up the senator's book "one vote away" senator ted cruz good to see you thank you, sir. we'll be right back with sidney powell on thattttt at visionworks, we know it's easy to forget to use your vision benefits before the year's up. this is us making sure you don't. use 'em before you lose 'em, backed by our 100-day guarantee!! visionworks. see the difference. it's all about the bedroom. and with caspers black friday sale, you can save up to 30% and make yours a winter slumberland. the fluffiest down duvet you'll ever feel, soft and light percale sheets, a cool, supportive mattress and plush pillows, even our glow light for better sleep. so go ahead, give the gift of a better bedroom and shop the black friday sale with up to 30% off at casper.com so go ahead, give the gift of a better bedroom keeping your oysters growing while keeping your business growing has you swamped.

>> yes. there has been a massive and coordinated effort to steal this election from we the people of the united states of america tok delegitimize and destroy votes for donald trump, to manufacture votes for joe biden, they have done it in every way imaginable from having dead people vote in massive numbers to absolutely fraudulently creating ballots that exist only voting for biden. we've identified at least 450,000 ballots in the key states that mariah carey cabbies you luxuriesly only have a mark for joe biden on them, and no other candidate and if you look at florida where things were done right, you can see that that's how the rest of the country should have gone, but they also used an algorithm to calculate the votes they would need to flip and they used the computers to flip those votes from biden i mean from trump to biden and from other republican candidates to their competitors also, and i think doug collins had the race stolen election en from him, i think john james had his race stolen from him. it wasn't just president trump. there were many people affected by this. we have got to fight tooth and nail in federal court to expose this fraud and the conspiracy behind it and get a recount and audits in every place it's needed which is frankly most of the country. maria: so there are recounts going on right now, we know that , in georgia you have a list of numbers of ballots with only joe biden on the ticket. you say it's 98,000 ballots in pennsylvania, 80 to 90,000 in georgia, another 42000 in arizona, 69 to 115,000 in michigan, and 62000 in wisconsin sidney, if this is true, this appears systemic. where is the department of justice where is the ag bill barr? if this is so obvious then why aren't we seeing massive government investigation s? >> i don't know. we definitely should be. we're getting reports of all kinds of fraud. we've getting an affidavit from a postal worker now who talks about having been ordered to back-date ballots. no ballots received after the polls closed on voting day should even be counted. we've got multiple states that didn't even follow the rule of their own legislature that's a federal constitutional issue. there are at least three major federal issues here that will require the supreme court to resolve this case, and when the votes are really audited and the real votes are counted trump will win. he is the president and he is in charge of this country. maria: sidney, i want to ask you about these algorithms and the dominion software. i understand nancy pelosi has an interest in this company. let's take a break. we'll come back with that i'm talking with sidney powell this morning on her legal strategy. stay with us. maria: welcome back. i'm back with sidney powell whose part of president trump's legal team and contesting this election. sidney, we talked about the dominion software. i know that there were voting irregularities. tell me about that. >> that's put it mildly. the computer glitches could not and should not have happened at all. that's where the fraud took place where they were flipping votes in the computer system or adding votes that did not exist we need an audit of all of the computer systems that played any role in this fraud whatsoever, and joe biden had it right. he said that he had the biggest voter fraud organization ever and he didn't need people's votes now. he would need people later. they had this all planned, maria they had the algorithms, they had the paper ballots waiting to be inserted if and when needed and notably president trump's vote in the blue states went up enormously. that's when they had to stop the vote count, and go in and replace votes for biden and takeaway trump votes. maria: i've never seen voting machines stop in the middle of an election, stop down and assess the situation. i also see reports that nancy pelosi's long time chief of staff is the key executive at that company, richard blum, senator feinstein's husband significant shareholder of the company. what can you tell us about the interest on the other side of this dominion software? >> well, obviously, they have invested in it for their own reasons and are using it to commit this fraud to steal votes i think they've even stolen them from other democrats in their own party who should be outraged about this also. bernie sanders might very well have been the democratic candidate but they've stolen against whoever they wanted to steal it from. maria: sidney these are incredible charges that you are making this morning. we of course will be following this and we thank you for joining me today. please come back soon, sidney powell that'll do it for "sunday morning futureseseseses look limu! someone out there needs help customizing their car insurance with liberty mutual, so they only pay for what they need. false alarm. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo-hoo! great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health. ♪ ♪jon he's president-elect by the media tally, not yet by the electoral college, but joe biden is calling for unity, promising to heal a nation torn apart but deep political and racial divisions as he and kamala harris make remarks. welcome to special coverage of fox news democracy 2020, i'm jon scott. kristin: and i'm kristin fisher. the president-elect wants the lead a divided government through several key races yet to be called. repalins are favored to keep control ofen

Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo 20201220

donald trump, and also here, georgia's son, football great herschel walker on georgia state memories and the georgia senate races ahead, now just two weeks away. christian walker also joining his father with a word on article ii section i of the constitutional that and a lot more as we look ahead right here right now on "sunday morning futures." >> and first this morning, the breaking news fbi briefing on china's national security threat. here is what we know about chinese spy christine fang, who quickly became special friends with democratic congressman eric swalwell in california, while he was a local politician. fang used the u.s. student visa program to enter the country, attending a bay area college. she met swalwell in 2012 and began bundling money for him, helping him to get elected to congress, and later, get appointed to the house intel committee. senator tom cotton was among the first to raise the red flags on u.s. china student visa programs when he joined us earlier this year. >> i think we need to take a very hard look at the visas that we give to chinese nationals to come to the united states to study, especially at the post- graduate level in advanced scientific and technological fields. if chinese students want to come here and study shakespeare and the federalist papers that's what they need to learn from america. they don't need to learn quantum computing and artificial intelligence from america. maria: house minority leader kevin mccarthy along with house speaker nancy pelosi were the only two leaders to receive a classified intel briefing by the fbi on eric swalwell and china, as well on russia. kevin mccarthy joins me right now and congressman good morning to you. it's great to have you here. >> good morning, maria. maria: so you've said that eric swalwell should step off of the intel committee. you received this fbi briefing as well as nancy pelosi, so you both heard the same thing. do you think she would agree that swalwell should step down? >> well you're right, that friday, we finally got our fbi briefing. it was just the speaker nancy pelosi and myself. it was a very thorough briefing. no one that was in that room could walk out and say eric swalwell should be on the intel committee. i don't know they had a briefing before in 2015, and i don't know what that briefing was like compared to this one but it could not have been the same. the one answer that i got out of that briefing was there is no way eric swalwell should continue to serve on the intel committee, and the challenge here is the leaders of both parties are the only people who select to go on the intel committee. that is why today, maria, what i'm going to request, that every single member on the house intelligence committee, gets the exact same briefing from the fbi that i did, because if this individual is sitting on this committee, eric swalwell, they've got to know the background of what has gone on. i can't talk about the classified part, but you know what's out there in the press. this is an individual, and maria you've done this more than probably any other show. the in depthness of what china has done the number of hacks of stealing the top secret items from the f-35 from our missiles , going to the opm, taking more than 24 million names, but what they have done is so far now when you see this christina, that she went down to know eric swalwell as the city councilman, helped him to get to congress, and continued and tried to put interns in his office. this is so concerning, and then, as a very junior member, just in his second term he gets named to the intel committee and that exact same year when the fbi came to brief the intel committee because they were concerned of what they saw, he gets put as the ranking democrat over the cia. i do not understand how this has continued this long, and the first time i've heard about it, i got a briefing on it was friday and i would never, never allow him on that committee. maria: unbelievable, so just based on some of the things that are out there, that are public, i recognize you can't release what you heard in terms of what's classified, but what we know is that the fbi went to him , to eric swalwell, and said watch this woman, meaning the fbi must have been watching christine fang. >> yeah, the one thing you can read publicly, it wasn't swalwell going to the fbi. it was the fbi coming to swalwell and to the leaders to warn what they have noticed. also, remember in the public briefing what you're able to find out christina, eric swalwell wasn't the only individual. there are mayors involved across this country. this is how in depth the chinese are at spying on america, of wanting to know of stealing our secrets and the intel committee is different than any other committee. this is where america's secrets are kept. this is where the individuals are able to know things that other members are not, and as a member of the gang of eight and john ratcliffe talked about this , the goetz reports i'm able to read anybody that sits and is allowed to read those reports inside the intel committee would know the expansion of what china is doing in america today. maria: i want to zero in on california as well, because i know that dianne feinstein had a driver, had a body-man, whatever you want to call it, for 20 years and after 20 years of this chinese national working with her, we find out he is a spy, so there were pictures we've been showing pictures of christine fang, with eric swalwell, but this area in california around silicon valley , it looks like the chinese communist party really tried to exploit dianne feinstein, eric swalwell, we know nancy pelosi's district is there, adam schiff's district is there, so let me ask you about that, because there is a picture that we found with this woman, christine fang, in the same picture as the spy that was with dianne feinstein. is this all connected, congressman? >> this is very concerning to me, because you've got to understand. silicon valley is the brain trust of america. think of all of the innovation that happens there. now we have a u.s. senator, not for a short time period but for 20 years, the person could hear all of her phone calls, know where she drives, understand her entire schedule, listen to the most sensitive phone calls, with a chinese spy and he was in a picture with christine fang, who the fbi says was a spy who left this country, and this is why this is so much bigger than eric swalwell. this comes into question about the democratic party themselves. do you know we tried to put a bipartisan task force on china last year with all the threats with the virus going on, the democrats backed out the night before we were to announce it. you've got adam schiff who is the head of the intel committee, when we shut the consolate down, for the chinese, because they were spying, he said that was just escalation. adam schiff whose in charge of the armed services on the house floor, he said it was not china 's responsibility to warn us about the virus. this is a concern to me that goes beyond eric swalwell. first and foremost, if you vote for nancy pelosi for speaker, you willingly know that she's the one that has the power to put eric swalwell on the house intel committee. i think you should have that answer before you make that vote , and when is china going to wake up? maria: unbelievable. >> they know the communist party is coming in and hacking america time and again. they know there are adversaries but why won't they stand up up to them? and if you can't stand up to them, how can you put somebody who could have been jeopardized on the intel committee? you know, the different part is this isn't that, remember what they did to president trump or to his family, or they did to the attorney general. if somebody walked by and talked to you, this is an individual that publicly reported has been friends with him for years who bundled money for him, who advised him and tried to put interns in his office. this isn't somebody walked up and got a picture with you. maria: well this is china's candidate, obviously, china put him there. let me ask you before we move on to stimulus real quick. is nancy pelosi compromised by the chinese communist party? >> well, i don't know about that, but the one thing i would know that nancy pelosi needs to do. she's the only decision maker in whether eric swalwell stays on the committee or not. she got the exact same briefing that i got. it is clear. it's without a doubt, i would never put him on that committee and i would remove him today. maria: this is dangerous stuff. very dangerous stuff, and the world should really understand this , because the chinese communist party already said they want to be the number one super power in the world overtaking america economically, tech to logically and milli tearily the world should not want that real quick on stimulus, congressman you are working on the final version of what could be something signed into law when? what is in this plan, and do you have optimism that it will pass? >> i do have optimism that it'll pass. the optimism is let's get it done. you know, speaker pelosi finally admitted after the election that she held up to cause more pain to try to make an outcome of the election, that this whole time, when we could have had some covid relief to the american people for those unemployed for the number of small businesses that were out of work i am very hopeful that we get this done today. this will go out for the small business owner and their employees, more than $300 billion in ppp. this would help our ability for tax incentives to help the small business restaurants. there is so much in this bill that could help us and the unique part about this is, we're able to to resend the money in the cares package before that we appropriated that were not spent so we're being fiscally smart and also very smart about helping the american public in this economy and the end of the year. maria: so real quick you're talking about aid for restaurants, aid for the airlines as well, and you don't have in there liability protection and you don't have in there aid for the states, correct? >> yeah. we need liability protection. unfortunately, the democrats will not allow that to happen. the trial lawyers are very strong with the democrats, and so the state money should stay out along with the liability protection and we need to come back and solve that. these small businesses are already hurting. they won't be able to sustain themselves even if they are able to get up and running if we don't get them liability protection. maria: okay, so that'll be a separate package then. yes. maria: real quick before you go, congressman. you got the covid-19 vaccine right? how are you doing? how do you feel? >> i feel good, yes. i just got it friday. a number of us i think everybody in congress and the supreme court and others for continuity of government. i feel good. it was a easy process, but most importantly, we have a safe and effective vaccine and we need to thank the president trump for , that he did something -- maria: absolutely. >> nobody else was able to do. moderna is now moving out a second vaccine. not only will we be able to cure this virus. remember where it came from and remember who solved the problem. maria: all right, congressman, good to see you this morning a lot of breaking news this morning from you, love talking with you, house minority leader kevin mccarthy. we'll see you soon, congressman thank you. coming up, fbi agents ridiculed, george papadopoulos for trusting them newly declassified peter strzok texts show, congressman devin nunes is here with breaking news on the potential for yet another criminal referral in the russia hoax, that's next as we look ahead on "sunday morning futures." we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa inflammation in your eye might be to blame.ck, we're made for. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye. >> kamala harris is from california, she's a senator. she never meets with republicans , and in fact, this is someone who essentially obama picked her to run. obama and his team had picked her to run, and then she floundered. she fell flat. she was going to get last place in iowa and new hampshire in the early primaries so she quickly dropped out after burning up tens of millions of dollars and then the story that is not being told to the american people is that bernie sanders was in the poll position and he was going to win, and obama and his team knew that sanders, as an outright socialist, that he would lose, and so what they did is they propped up biden, you know, who appears to be nothing more than just an avata r, and then they plugged in. maria: that was california congressman devin nunes on this program back in september right before the election the ranking member of the house intel committee congressman devin nunes joins me right now he is the author of "countdown to socialism" and congressman it's great to see you this morning. let me ask you about that sound bite we just played. do you still see it that way? >> i think moreso now than ever i think the american people now see it too, maria. you have an election here where just a few counties in the united states of america and the big cities that are all run by democrats and the left and the state of california which is under one party control, they essentially elected a guy who ran the first campaign-ever out of a basement, so, you know, when you go back in history we don't have to go back very far. this is very reminiscent of the old soviet union where they take these old leaders and put them up there and then have the people underneath, that would actually run their leaders , and so, you know, look. i'm not saying that we all know that the coronavirus is very contagious but what's biden going to do about it? he's promising to do what? wear masks for 100 days and so the thing is that we have to start talking some common sense in this country. why is it? maria: yeah. >> in republican states and republican cities, that for the most part, people are social distancing, they're being careful but everything is open. people are trying to go about their life. they are being careful and getting therapeutic treatment and now we have a vaccine ready, but yet you have big cities in this country. the whole state of california is completely shutdown now and then like right here in d.c., let me give you a ridiculous example. right now, we're open, but now the mayor has said that in washington d.c., we're going to close everything on december 23 because the spread of covid. now, wait a second. if covid is spreading so rapidly , you ought to shut the whole damn city down right now, why would you wait a week, so i don't know what biden and harris' plan is to unbury these cities, that the democrats are destroying but we're going to have a situation where the people who make things in this country and most of the counties around this country who grow things, have energy and keep the country going, those areas are doing pretty well and you're going to have these cities that are completely dead and expect a bailout, and i don't think the republican senate will do that. maria: and you all are there, right now, to try to get this covid relief bill done. look, i spoke with bob nardelli, whose one of my regular guests on fox business mornings with maria and the other day he said with me after speaking with a number of small business owners he said what small business wants right now is not ppp, but gdp. they want economic growth. they want to get back to business and they want to start working once again, and we're looking at shutdowns across the country. people are worried about changes in policy about that, as well as a change in policy on china. any thoughts on that? because i want to quickly get to a break and then come back and look at these text messages but your thoughts on how policy may change with a new administration >> well look, i think the big issue here is that what are the biden family's involvement with china? we know now, this was ignored by the media, it was ignored and it was blocked by the social media companies too for that matter, but look, everything that the democrats and the media accuse trump and republicans of doing, they were doing. they took money from russian oli garchs, they were in bed with chinese, none of this has been answered for , so i think, we really need a special prosecutor to go after this , because you know, we know that the fbi and the doj, they never go after democrats, they only go after republicans, all the democrats controversies always get swept under the rug and nothing ever happens. maria: unbelievable all right let's take a short break and when we come back i want to zero in on these text messages because you believe these text messages that were declassified indicate when actually the fbi started investigating donald trump. we'll take a break and come back on that and talk about john durham and what you're expecting congressman devin nunes is with us this morning, we'll be right back. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a short list of quality candidates from our resume database. claim your seventy five dollar credit, when you post your first job at indeed.com/home. maria: welcome back. and we are back with congressman devin nunes ranking republican of the house intel committee. congressman, let's go through some of these text messages from peter strzok and what you take away from them and the first one i want to take a look at is one about crossfire hurricane, three days before it was apparently opened, based on information, and he tells lisa page his girlfriend he wants to discuss opening a counterintelligence investigatio n relating to trump's russian connections. what's the significance? >> well look i think overall here, these are kind of the text messages that we've all been waiting for that we knew probably existed, that give the hard evidence that our investigation really needed several years ago, so, i've made the statement on your show and many others publicly over the last few years that we know the fbi was lying to congress because we knew that they did not open this investigation because of george papadopoulos and then they opened it on july 31 that was always nonsense , there was plenty of evidence of that, and here, we have a text message that was clearly relevant to our investigation that they hid from us, and look, i would also say it's now clear that papadopoulos was so mistreated it's just so unbelievable. i mean, the fbi and doj in this country ought to be ashamed of themselves, mocking a target that they knew was a phony target. they're making fun of papadopoulos. this is really really bad, and somebody needs to pay a price for it. maria: well let me ask you about this yahoo story because another thing that they did which you reported on this program for years is they leaked information to the media and then they used those articles as reason to get a wire tap and here is one of them. peter strzok says to lisa page, i'm looking at the yahoo article i would definitely say at a minimum steele's reports should be viewed as intended to influence as well as to inform that was their whole point, right? >> right and look, remember when i put out in the media largely ignored a report that there had been phase a abuse? they knew that we were investigating fisa abuse, why would this not have been given to congress? this is just another example we're going to have to do another criminal referral. look, we knew they had made this up. they had to have known, they had to be working with the dnc and the clinton campaign but this clearly shows it's a hard piece of evidence that we didn't have, and look, these are just, there's so many of these, every one of these text messages is explosive, and there's a lot more in these text messages that we're continuing our investigative team is continuing to comb through, and i think we're going to find a lot more here in the coming weeks as we begin to piece together old information that we have with new information. i'm just hopeful that durham's actually going to do something and we got to ensure that durham is not going to be fired by the incoming biden administration because we know what the democrats have been willing to do in the past in terms of meddling with elections like for example, tarmac meetings in phoenix, for example maria: well that's right. on the tarmac in phoenix it was just a few days before hillary clinton was to go for an interview in front of the fbi where she was going to be questioned about her use of a private server and three days earlier, bill clinton, her husband, meets with a sitting attorney general, loretta lynch on a tarmac in a private plane and they say they talked about their grandkids. it's just outrageous and i think you just broke news on this program, you said you're going to do another criminal referral? >> yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. this is clearly lying and obstructing congress. this is information that we asked for numerous times. we sat in meetings with trey gowdy whose been on your show numerous times. we sat in meetings with doj and fbi and they sat there and stone cold said oh, there's no more information, no more text messages. these were the text messages that we really needed to run a proper investigation, instead we had to go around and rely on informants and piece all of this together, in order to get this out to the american people that hey, trump campaign and republicans were not only spied on but this was wrong, and i think in the big picture, as the smoke begins to clear, what you're really going to see. the russia hoax was mostly about covering up hillary clinton's e-mails that were clearly classified and that were spread out all over the world, likely all of our adversaries had them and i think they developed this hoax to hide it from the american people in the 16 campaign just the impossible happened and that is that donald trump won and luckily we were able to uncover this and expose it. i just hope the people pay the price for it. maria: that's unbelievable. so you do expect john durham to come out with a report and to continue this investigation? >> well look, i don't see how john durham can't bust several people for lying and misleading congress. at a minimum there ought to be several indictments on that. in terms of a larger picture conspiracy some of the referrals we've made that is harder to prove but i do believe they ought to pay a price and be put in jail. if not whose going to trust the department of justice and the fbi? i don't think too many republicans are. the 70-plus million people that voted for donald trump do you think they take a meeting with the fbi after we know how they framed papadopoulos in these text messages that we see today? maria: and framed michael flynn don't forget, real quick, congressman is there anything you can tell us about the russia hack, because this is another instance where i know it's an ongoing investigation. do we know how many agencies they breached? >> no, look at this point, we just had an initial briefing, initial information, but i think it's just more evidence that the cyber capabilities of our adversaries continue to grow whether it's russia, it's china, iran, north korea. these capabilities grow and we are very vulnerable as a government and as a nation to hacking. maria: and our audience knew the threat of china way early because of you, congressman. you came on this program four years ago, with your investigation into the chinese communist party as they were moving their military bases across the world. thank you for that, educating our audience so long ago on this threat, congressman devin nunes good to see you sir we'll see you soon. take a break when we come back journalist peter schweier is here, he is an investigative journalist and his investigation on who is being compromised in congress, by communist china, is on deck. the impact on u.s. national security, right after this. before you go over the river and through the woods this holiday season. remember, safe drivers save 40% with allstate. saving is easy when you're in good hands. call a local agent, or 1-800-allstate for a quote today. >> i take no joy in uncovering and reviewing the truth about the bidens i'm sure peter does neither. those of us investigating this we're doing it for a very serious purpose, because this is a mess. it's a huge mess, and it's a mess that's not going away particularly if vice president biden becomes president. it's one of the reasons i've been saying for quite some time that i never felt that vice president biden should ever run for president. maria: that was senator ron johnson on this program last month. hunter biden has since confirmed the u.s. attorney is investigat ing his tax affairs. joe biden fielded questions about the scandal telling cbs he has great confidence in his son who he called the smartest man and the charges foul play, joining me is peter schwezier who was very early in reporting on hunter biden deals and the overseas partnerships he's had and the money that he received. he is the author of "secret empires" and peter joins me right now. thanks very much for being here, peter schwezier and you have been saying that it's important for us to recognize that this is not just a hunter biden story. this is a joe biden story. why? >> yeah, that's exactly right, maria, really for a couple of reasons. first of all when you look at the communications that have come out from the hunter biden laptop, and even more importantly, tony bobulinski's text messages and e-mails you see that the chinese, in this case, the efc, the energy company, were very insistent that they were not doing deals with hunter biden. they were doing deals with the biden family, and that's generally how the chinese have viewed this , because look. hunter biden does not bring any expertise or connections or background to any of these for the fact that he is the son of the vice president, now- president of the united states, but the second reason, maria this is not just a hunter biden story is because of what hunter biden himself has communicated. in the e-mails that have come out as well, hunter biden is quite explicit in one particular communication with his daughter, he's basically complaining that he pays half of the entire family's bills and he includes his mother and father in that, and makes reference to pops so the point is is that all this enrichment that has been taking place, is also flowing to joe biden indirectly through his son, but the fact of the matter is, he's still a beneficiary, a direct beneficiary of these foreign deals. maria: that e-mail in terms of wanting keys to have an office in washington to be shared was very disturbing. we had that e-mail here, and the e-mail is saying look, i need a set of keys for joe biden , jill biden, jim biden, my uncle, and the chairman of cefc, ghong wen dong, so all of these people are sharing an office together in washington how close can you get with the chairman of a company tied to the ccp? >> yeah, that's exactly right, maria and that is a great example, symbolic example of how the bidens basically have blurred their political activities, and their commercial activities, and how close and ch ummy they are. let's keep in mind, cefc and chairman ye, whose the head of that company is linked directly to the pla, the chairman was brought up on corruption charges , that was sort of an internal perge as it were in china. some of the directors of that company have direct ties to president xi, so this is not some random chinese company on the fringes of chinese political life. it's at the center of it, and this is the same entity upon which joe biden, you know, the so-called big guy, was going to get 10%. they were literally going to share office space. they were going to house the biden foundation and a cefc office in the exact same office space, so it's very troubling and it speaks to the fact of how cozy the bidens have been with the chinese. maria: it's also very clear that the chinese communist party has a real strategy and they know exactly what they're doing. they are identifying people in very influential high positions whether it be the chairman of the harvard department of chemistry at harvard, he was indicted sharing information and proprietary data from harvard to the ccp getting paid for it. the embassy and the spies of the houston embassy forcing the u.s. to close it, even an nypd officer. it's just extraordinary the length of the ccp has gone and what i want to know from you is who else is compromised by the chinese communist party? we know about hunter biden. we know about eric swalwell. now, there's one open question there. will policy change? will the hunter biden stuff go away, completely, because joe biden is president, and what about nancy pelosi? what about dianne feinstein? who else can you mention in your investigative work that may be compromised by the ccp right now >> yeah, maria there's a lot of powerful people in washington d.c. who want the hunter biden story to go away, because it has potentially direct implications on themselves. all you have to do is look at the very top of the legislative body in the united states. if you look at the leader of the senate mitch mcconnell and his wife elaine chow, elaine chow's family owns a shipping business. unlike the bidens it's actually a legitimate business but the fact of the matter is that shipping business has its ship purchases financed by the chinese government. its ships are constructed by the chinese government. its crews are raised by the chinese government and most of its contracts are shipping goods from chinese state-owned enterprises around the pacific, so, if mitch mcconnell were to do something the chinese didn't like, they could destroy that family business. flip over to the house of representatives, nancy pelosi. her husband, paul pelosi, has done a series of deals in mainland china, that are directly-related to the chinese government and are part of the fact that the chinese are trying to curry favor with high- ranking politicians in the united states. you can add dianne feinstein. her husband richard blum has been doing deals for 25 years on mainland china and has benefited from private meetings that senator feinstein and her husband had with the highest levels. look, the bottom line is the chinese government has had a strategy, they've used it in australia, new zealand, in singapore and they are going to try to use it in the united states as well where they effectively decapitate our political leadership by giving sweetheart deals to the family members of our political class, thereby neutering them making them less critical of the chinese government and the question is, are we going to do something about it or are we going to just let it pass? maria: this is all very disturb ing, peter. it's great to have you on this morning. i commit to my audience right here right now that i will not let up the spotlight on this behavior, and we will not allow the chinese communist party to take over america. peter schwezier we'll keep reporting on it thanks very much for being here we'll see you soon, peter. >> thank you. maria: coming up the pride of georgia, herschel walker the greatest of all-time goes back to georgia to come pain for senators perdue and loeffler he's beaming when he's with his son, christian walker, they will both join us, next, to talk politics. if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye. >> this race now has become a national race and so this is everybody in the country, democrats and republicans, trying to weigh in here, to get the majority in the senate. it's very simple, maria. if we keep the majority, we not only hold the line against the democratic agenda but we also protect the gains that we made under president trump over the last four years that allow 6.5 million people to be pulled out of poverty. maria: that was georgia senator david perdue on this program last weekend ahead of the january 5 senate race, now a record 7.7 million georgians are registered to vote in the landmark elections more than half of them under the age of 35 georgia's herschel walker have been campaigning, and he joins me right now along with his son, christian walker on a mission to educate young voters about what's at stake. gentlemen it's great to see you both thank you so much for joining us and herschel let me kick it off with you because i know nobody loves georgia more than you, herschel, but you've said that you are appalled by the fraud that you have seen and that's been exposed. many georgians feel the same way how worried are you they aren't even going to come out and vote on january 5? >> well, i'm not worried about it now. i think the people know what's at stake. i know i've been trying to get the word out. i think senator perdue and senator loeffler has been trying to get the word out and we've got to get the word out that right now we can't worry about the fraud. we have to worry about putting those two back in office because the two candidates running against them do not believe in american values. they believe in something totally opposite, with all the fraud going on, i think it's a shame, it's appalling that we don't have leaders in georgia to stand up for the people of georgia to say this has got to stop, that we can't have this. i think it's terrible. maria: and we've got these runoff polls here. let me just tell you that the republicans have picked up speed and picked up some ground since we had georgia senator david perdue on last week. in the special runoff you've got kelly loeffler at 52%, raphael warnock at 45% in this one poll and then you've got the senate runoff with david perdue at 50.2 %, versus john ossoff at 47.5%. christian walker, do you think people understand what's at stake, in terms of the differences in policy that we're talking about? >> raphael warnock is one of the most radical senators to ever run for this position so i think it's really important that americans understand, it's our freedom that's on the line. it's our basic rights, so things that we take for granted. i mean, we've seen with the covid lockdowns, the lengths that the democrats are willing to go go to stifle our freedom so it's super important that georgians go out and vote for loeffler and perdue in supporting them and they are doing a great job in their campaign. i'm excited to see what happens. maria: and christian, you've also been talking a lot about the presidential election. i saw your post on instagram which i thought was great. you were basically underlining section 1 article ii in the constitution. tell us about it. >> well it's imperative that americans understand that our electoral college votes aren't certified until january 6 when congress meets for a joint session both the house and the senate with the vice president. a lot of democrats right now are acting rather bragging, arrogant that the election is over, and it's not over until it's over. january 6, the vice president will count the votes and a lot of americans are concerned with the integrity of this election. i am, and so i'd like to finish the process out before anyone is bragging about it, and yeah. maria: yeah, and that's pretty much what you said on instagram which was great. it went viral. herschel, there are a lot of questions about the presidential election, and it's bleeding into georgia. will we see the kind of irregularities that many have pointed out in the presidential election? stacey abrams says she's got almost 8 million people registered. the mail-in voting is off the charts there. your reaction to what you heard from stacey abrams? >> well, i think people are going to be more vigilant than they were before, and i think ms. abrams, who knows what's going on right now in the state of georgia, who knows what was signed by the governor and the lt. governor and all that, but i think it's going to be a lot harder to get things passed through this election as it was, with the presidential election, and i do know the presidential election will be straightened out as well, because you know, everyone, civil rights are violated i don't care who you are. everyone's civil rights are violated when you have one illegal vote cast, it violated everyone's civil rights. do you know how many people have died to vote, how many people have died to get into the position they're in? they've used this pandemic to go out and do some bad things in this country, and i do think most of those bad players need to be punished. that's the reason they continue to do the things that they've done because there have been no consequences for their actions, and i think now, the consequences got to start now and that's when people are going to realize that this country was built on law and order. this country was built on free election, and we need to get back to that. we're not china. we're not russia. we're a country that believe in each other. we're a country that we can fight among each other because we love each other as a family, but when outside people come into this country to invade this country, that's when its got to stop. maria: real quick, christian, joe biden said that if we had 10 stacey abrams, we could take over the world, according to joe biden. this is real important to you, christian. this is the first year you voted , right? >> this was my first time voting and so its been disappointing to not really trust the electoral process. i feel as though they cheated and i feel as though stacey abrams played a big part in that and i think young people my generation has deserved the right, we're owed the right of free and fair and honest selections, so -- maria: absolutely. all right, herschel and christian walker, great to see you both thank you so much. we will be watching the developments, we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ i got it all from you ♪ i'm always pushing through ♪ i know we'll make it to the finish line ♪ ♪ i know you're waiting on the other side ♪ ♪ i'm like you on-demand glucose monitoring. because they're always on. another life-changing technology from abbott. so you don't wait for life. you live it. maria: welcome back. in our week's long look into election integrity, we have heard concerns about both voting machines, and voting software. specifically, a software company called smartmatic this week we reached out to eddie perez for insight. he is the global director of tech development at the open source election technology institute. his team develops open source software for elections. we asked him what he knew about smartmatic and the claims some have made about that company. >> have you seen any evidence that smartmatic software was used to flip votes anywhere in the u.s. in this election? >> i have not seen any evidence that smartmatic software was used to delete, change, alter anything related to vote tabulation. >> smartmatic says its software was never used outside of la county in 2020. do you know whether or not that's true? >> that is my understanding. i am not aware of them having any other direct customer relationships with election officials in the united states. >> what about smartmatic and dominion? do you know if they are related whether one owns the other, whether dominion uses smartmatic software? >> both dominion and smartmatic have individually and respectively put out very clear statements from their corporate headquarters, each of them indicating they are independent companies, they are not related to each other. >> have you seen any evidence of a connection between george s orros and smartmatic? >> i'm not aware of any direct connection between george sorros and smartmatic. it is my understanding that an executive at smartmatic has some sort of relationship with one of sorros's foundations that's the extent of my knowledge. >> have you seen any evidence of smartmatic sending u.s. votes to be tabulated in foreign countries? >> no i'm not aware of any evidence that smartmatic is sending u.s. votes to be tabulated in foreign countries, as others have pointed out, irrespective of which voting technology vendor we're talking about, in the united states, the ballots that are cast in the united states are tabulated in the united states. >> are you aware of any instances in which smartmatic's technology was banned in the u.s. in 2020 due to security weaknesses or wrongdoing? >> i am not. i'm not aware of any independence instances where smartmatic's technology was banned in the u.s.. again, it is my understanding that outside of one customer in los angeles county, smartmatic has no presence in the voting technology marketplace in the united states. maria: so that is where we stand right now. we will keep investigating. that'll do it for us, this sunday morning. "sunday morning futures" thanks so much for joining me i'm maria bartiromo watch us again today, 3:00 p.m. eastern on fox news. i'll see you tomorrow on fox business. . . . if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye. for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa howie: this is media buzz. i'm howard kurtz. after six weeks of fiercely negative media coverage, mitch mcconnell recognized the 2020 election outcome and president trump pushed back hard. >> the electoral college has spoken. so of today i want to congratulate president-elect joe biden. >> it's how things were when a cowed party doesn't have the backbone to collectively accept the fact that their guy lost. in reality, what members of the electoral college did yesterday, some under armed guard, others in secret locations, was and has always been a formality. >> imagine, our

>> that is the question. what you like and what you want is often dictated by what is marketed to you. there is a lot of research that shows the best hits could be totally different based on what was in the top 40 in your mind. and gave you a fake chart said, these are the biggest charts, people will like those hits better. it might not predict what you like, but it will actually drive you to like something different than you might have otherwise liked without a recommendation. good change the music industry in a couple ways. if it were completely to take over and were algorithms, every single person might have their own individual type of music that they list two. maybe you are pandora station is only you. person, we share the same experience. we all have something that we can reach four. it is the same way with television shows. bad" --"raking and "house of cards." we see companies going in the data direction right now. waye are companies all the along that spectrum that are different percentages. >> you want to change the art form. you music be composed with or me specifically in mind?

it has a lot to do with the fact that the senior decision-makers -- they are men. they hire the people who are like them. is this happening at the international box office? >> i do not think it is that. it affects movies playing abroad, but i don't think that makes a difference. women are just not paid as much no matter where they are filming. >> there are a lot of excuses in corporate america. they say that women have timeout to have kids. i do not think you can come up with those excuses in hollywood. movieso not plan their around when they have babies, but it is not like it is taking them completely off the track. and we wereion talking about this earlier, some of the male earners have action movies. action movies tend to gross a lot of money at the box office. action you strip out the movies, you are still looking at a situation where angelina jolie, the top-ranked woman, is basically making about the same permanently at the two lowest paid male stars on the ranking. that would be denzel washington and liam neeson. here is a greater example of that is 30. hunger games was the top grossing film of 2013. lawrence,tar jennifer she only earned $11 million. that is nothing compared to what the men are earning. >> you think it is because men are in charge?

god bless you, god bless measuring and god bless our men and women who -- god bless america and god bless our men and women who serve in the armed forces of the united states of america! [cheers and applause] i will leave you with my personal motto: freedom and liberty, use them or lose them! [cheers and applause] god bless you! ♪ ♪ >> please welcome jeffrey lord. ♪ ♪ >> thank you very much. thank you for having me and most importantly, thank you for all that you do. you know, the obama administration has made a point of calling its critics, among other things, extortionists and terrorists, so you couldn't be a newser group of extortionists -- nicer group of extortionists and terrorists, and i'm happy to be here. i call you the heirs of ronald reagan. [applause] the tea party has been very clear right from your spontaneous beginning. you were deeply concerned about the fiscally irresponsible actions of the federal government, the misguided stimulus spending, the bailout, the takeovers of private industry. your goals were equally as clear as they were reagan-esque; improve america through a renewed support for fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government and free market economic policies. and for believing in liberty and fiscal sanity, you were demonized right from the very beginning. it was astonishing if unsurprising to watch the torrent of abuse directed at the tea party. i can tell you this kind of abuse was directed at ronald reagan for believing exactly the same kinds of things. he was called evil by house speaker to kneel, a president who was -- o'neill, a president who was cold and mean and cruel, and yes, but of course, ronald reagan was inevitably called a racist. this is, in fact, what the american left does particularly when they are losing the argument. the tea party is racist? really? really? perhaps it's time to point out that this charge of racism from the left comes from members of a political party that has proudly stood for -- i want to be specific here -- sex platforms that support -- six platformed that supported slavery, they opposed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution that suckfully wipe out -- successfully wiped out slavery, they supported segregation actively or by science in 20 platforms, they opposed anti-lynching laws, and liberals didn't just support the ku klux klan, they were the ku klux klan, regularly electing klan members to the nation's governorships when not putting a klan member on, yes, the supreme court of the united states. these are people with a long and wretched political history of depending on any and every scheme imaginable then and now that judges their fellow americans by skin color. and they have the nerve to call the tea party racist? it is more than pastime to call them out finish -- past time to call them out and tell the party -- [applause] and tell the party of slavery, segregation, lynching, the ku klux klan, racial quotas to quit judging their fellow americans by skin color and get back to the business of getting this country on thed road to -- on the road to fiscal health and economic growth. [applause] you have also received considerable criticism from establishment republicans. they, too, once scorned ronald reagan. no one, by the way, knows this better than our friend mark levin. i can't say enough about mark's ability to bring the constitution and the founding principles of this nation back once again front and center. he is a national treasure, and we owe him a considerable debt of gratitude. [applause] mark and ronald reagan's to biographer, craig shirley, certainly remember -- as i do -- that in march of 1980 as governor reagan was on his way to winning the republican nomination for president, former president gerald ford went to "the new york times" to save governor reagan -- to say of governor reagan the kinds of things that are said of tea party today. ronald reagan, said president ford, was too extreme. he was a sure loser. because a -- and i'm quoting here -- a very conservative republican can't win a national election, unquote. as you may recall, president ford had lost to jimmy carter four years earlier. ronald reagan not only beat jimmy carter in a 44-state landslide eight years later, four years later he won 49 states. that was george bush -- no, sorry. [laughter] which, lastly, brings me to president reagan and his great friend, margaret thatcher. there is a reason ronald reagan won two landslides and margaret thatcher was the longest serving british prime minister of the 20th century, winning three elections in a row. both believed with the tea party in drawing a line in the sand that clearly separates right from left. that is not only the key to victory, they were right about in the establishment -- and the establishment was wrong. president reagan referred to establishment republicans of the type the tea party does battle with every day as fraternal order republicans. mrs. thatcher summoned a term from the british school system and called her establishment conservatives the whacks. both believed that the politics of what ronald reagan called the fraternal order and mrs. thatcher deemed as consensus politics were road maps to defeat. in fact, one suspects if there had been a tea party in britain, mrs. thatcher would have been its leader. said she, scornfully of the con census politics she believed had brought repeated defeats to the conservative party many -- in great britain and i'm quoting here: the old it'sment prophets didn't go out onto the highway saying, brothers, i want consensus. they said this is my faith, this is my vision, this is what i passionately believe. go out. preach it, practice it, fights rt it, and the day will be ours. so as you go about your tea party challenges this year to the republican establishment, the fraternal order republicans whether here on capitol hill or across the land, i would urge you to take the understanding of ronald reagan that there was a time for choosing and take to heart the words of of margaret that much or, if i may americanize them. go out into the highways and byways of america and make it plain as ronald reagan did, tell the american people this is my faith, this is my vision, this is what the tea party passionately believes. go out, practice it, preach it, fight for it, and the day will be yours. thank you very much. [applause] ♪ ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome new york times best-selling author and host of the mark levin show, mark levin! ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> come on! [cheers and applause] >> thank you very much. what's all this for? [laughter] happy anniversary. it's an honor to be with you. you're an inspiration to me and millions of others. the fact is, today we live under a lawless president, a feckless congress and an all-powerful supreme court. the federal leviathan consumes nearly 25% of the entire economy and gobbles up whole industries. we are $17.3 trillion in fiscal operating debt. we owe over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities. there's not enough money on the planet earth to pay that back. and the overall debt when it's all combined grows by $5-$7 trillion a year. and this president proclaims the era of austerity is over. [laughter] the federal government's now the nation's largest creditor, debtor, lend or, employer, consumer, contractor, grantor, property owner, tenant, insurer, health care provider and pension guarantor. so much for limited government. [laughter] it unleashes thousands of regulations and rules every single year over the course of a decade it fills nearly one million -- [applause] >> good morning and welcome to playbook breakfast. thank you for bearing with us as we rescheduled the time and place because of the ice. i think my politico colleagues, dan's colleagues at the white house for making this new date available and for you all for coming. want to thank c-span for carrying us live this morning, welcome to our c-span viewers, welcome to our live streaming viewers. we'll love to take your questions as we go. tweet us at hashtag playbook breakfastment i've got the twitter machine up hoar, and i take your -- up here, and i will take your questions. like to thank bank of america for their continued partnership. looking forward to talking about the issues that matter most as this year goes along, so thank you to bank of america for that. we're honored this morning to have dan pfeiffer, an assistant to the president, the president's senior adviser for strategy and communications. dan has been with the president from day one. actually, day negative one. dan pfeiffer joined the obama campaign the day before the president announced his exploratory committee. it was back on martin luther king day 2007. he's been with him every single day in the white house. before that he worked for vice president gore be, he was on the hill with senator tim johnson and senator evan bayh and as most of of you know, pfeiffer is a wilmington guy and a georgetown guy. so thank you for being with us, and, dan pfeiffer, welcome. [applause] good morning. thanks for coming. dan, thank you for coming. we always start with the news. the president, this morning the president issued an executive order and message to the president which provided a framework for you to issue some sanctions, visa travels in regard to ukraine. tell us what the president did and why it matters. >> well, i think it's part of our efforts to deal with the situation in the you -yard line -- ukraine. there's two sections. one will set up a potential framework, and the state department also issuing some visa bans for individuals who have been involved in the situation in ukraine. that is part of our ongoing effort including engaging with our allies. secretary kerry is in europe right now working on to deal with the russian intervention in ukraine and insure we deal with the crisis at hand. >> is there a sense that the crisis is deescalating? >> i don't think we know that yet. of we're monitoring it very closely, we're continuing to put pressure on the russians in every way we possibly can, and what's most important is we're supporting the ukrainian people and government. we're working to do that getting some loan guarantees of sanction to the ukrainian -- of assistance to the you ukrainian government, coordinating the europeans and g7 to also support them. today's executive order is one part of that. >> dan, at end of last week, the president made a very unusual visit to the white house briefing room at the end of the day responding to facts coming in on the ground. how did you make that call, and how did you know what was happening on the ground? >> well, in a couple ways. first, as we get information it's always very important, i think, for the people to hear from the president in times of tumult and crisis, and here we have a situation where you have russia heading in with moving troops into crimea, the american people had been following the situation pretty closely over several weeks as we were dealing with the political tumult and the changing government, and so we thought it was important for the president to get out there as soon as we had good information. we get information through a lot of ways, we've a lot of sources, but also in this day and age with twitter and social media, you start to see pictures of troops in front of of bases or many front of airports that will give us a lead to follow up on to try and nail down. >> so in the white house, twitter's now part of your information flow. >> absolutely. we've seen for years now. we certainly saw it -- particularly this is not true in this situation, but in more closed societies like in iran during some of the political uprising, early in the presidency you learn a lot what was happening. we found out a lot of what was happening in the arab spring by folks on ground doing individual reporting in social media or skype. it gives you a sense of what's happening. >> now, dan on -- >> and i would say that's one data point in a long list of things we look at as we analyze the situation, but it was not available just a few years ago. >> dan, on saturday the president had a remarkable call with president putin. you announced the fact it was 90 minutes. [laughter] take away, say, half for interpretation, say they have 45 minutes of content, that is a long call for two guys who don't have a lot to say to each other right now. >> actually, that is in the array, as you think of all the calls, 90 minutes isn't a particularly long time but something that was worth note anything the readout. president obama and president putin have had a lot of opportunities to talk over the last several years, and they're often long and vigorous. and i think that's how i would tribe one. >> and -- describe this one. >> and what's the president like behind the scenes when a crisis is unfolding? what's his mo? >> his mo is to make sure we are responding rapidly -- >> no, i mean, what's he like? does he tear his hair? >> when he is -- he never tears his hair, and he never sweats. [laughter] >> how about you? >> a little bit of both. i think what he often tries to do is take a step back. so make sure we're responding as rapidly as we can but also take a step back and let's make sure what we're doing is not just tactically smart, but strategically smart. what is the long-term american interest, what is our end goal. not how do they deal with the exact sort of press crisis, what is the press demanding, what are our political opponents demanding, it's how do we -- it's what is our end goal. and he is willing to, and this is one of reasons why i tear my hair out sometimes, is willing to take some heat in the short term for a better long-term goal. we saw in the in libyan when we, you know, we had a lot of critics that we weren't moving fast enough, weren't doing the right thing, and over the course of time the strategy worked. >> when he's hashing out something like this, am i going to go on . >> you've got to be ready at all times. >> has he ever caught you mentally napping? >> absolutely. you know, it's been more than five years now. it's been known to happen. you've got to recover quick. >> all right. now, you're @pfeiffer44 on twitter, what tweet has gotten the most engagement? >> well, this is by more circumstance than being clever, but the night bin laden was, bin laden was killed i was the one who happened to be first out to tweet the president was going to address the nation. >> what do you mean you happened to be the first? [laughter] >> well, i was faster than jay carney. >> the press secretary. >> yeah. and, you know, if you think back to that moment, someone tweets out the president's going to address the nation, no one knows what that's about. speculation both good and bad about what could happen, so that got a lot of attention. that was by far, by biggest follower growth was in that a night. >> now, people expect the government twitter feed to be kind of dry. you throw elbows on your twitter feed. we have a wall street from the other day, you say gop criticism jumped the shark today when they started saying benghazi is one of reasons for what's happening in crimea. >> i did. [laughter] i think twitter is a very, it's a necessary element to any communication strategy in politics these days. it is where the debate is really shaped. i mean, it's really where the elite political debate. we saw this morning the first debate of 2012. there is no question in my mind that the twurt reaction to president's performance greatly whats orer baited the coverage and the be reaction to it. so you have to be in there mixing it up. and, you know, every day republican congressmen, senators, staffers are out there trying to characterize the president's motives, his policies, and you've got to be in there pushing back. >> some of your campaign colleagues said instead of batching the de-- watching the debate, they watched twitter. talk to us about how you keep up with and shape what people are saying out there. >> well, the night of -- i was in the chicago headquarters of that debate sort of with the folks doing rapid response, and so we had two screens. we had the tv, and you had the twitter feed. and you -- some folks are just watching the tv. be you're watching the tv, you were thinking this is not great, but it's not disastrous. if you're watching the twitter feed, you're seeing andrew sullivan and others threaten to commit ritual suicide over the president's performance, and it's starting the spiral, and you know -- and then you know, you know, how tough the folks in the spin room or were going to have it that night. >> and how will twitter, how will the effect of twitter in 2014 be when you were elected in 2012? >> i think it'll just be the growth in people is exponential. i think 2012 for the most part twitter was a more elite conversation. it is how, you know, it's how reporters are viewing events, it's how political people are shaping that, how most politically involved folks are looking at it. i think by 2014 will be more like facebook than it was in 2012, more people who are getting their information from it, so it'll have more effect on the populace at large. >> and last question on this, as a result of that, how is what you're doing with twitter as an institution changing? >> well, i think we're looking at different ways of doing it every day. i think the big thing in the last year or so is it's less about the 140 characters than whether what you're doing with graphics and images. and, you know, some of the most retweeted hinges we have -- things we have are our charts and graphs that explain president's policies. so we're always thinking about how do you, you know, how we're going to -- what is the, as we're rolling out any policy, what is the graphic representation of this that is shower bl on twitter and facebook? >> as if there wasn't enough happening in the world, this was your budget week. joshua green calls the budget obama's $3.9 trillion campaign ad. true? [laughter] >> in. i think -- no. i think, i think there's a little bit of a short-term long-term about how budgets are, the way folks have covered this. you know, traditionally are the president's -- particularly in time of divided government. it serves two purposes. one is it's a very specific line item model for the committees who are going to fund the government. now, that has not been as relevant in previous years because congress has not been able to pass the appropriations bills, they have just been doing continuing resolutions. this year we'll have a budget bill because of the agreement. it also lays out a broader vision for how the president's long-term vision is, how should we be dealing with our deficits. last year we embedded in our budget the last offer the president had made to speaker boehner this the fiscal negotiations 201 as an attempt to try to jump-start additional negotiations and get rid of the she sequester and try to revolve this issue we'd been dealing with, sort of dancing around for a long time but not being able to close with the republicans. we put forward some potential compromises on entitlement reform, a very specific thing being what they call chain cpi, recalculating -- >> wait, you pulled back from that. >> yes. let me explain why. in all negotiations with speaker boehner the one thing he said any deal had to have was chain cpi. so it was a show of good faith, we put it in the budget hoping they would come forward and saying, well, here are some tax loopholes we'd close, raise revenue through taxes. through many celebrated dinners and meetings and coffees with the president, republicans never offered a single tax loophole or a single dollar this revenue, so our view was we'll go pack to the way we traditionally did the budget. if they want to come back and do that, it'll be there, but we returned to a normal order of budgeting. >> with yesterday you were on air force one, you traveled with the president to connecticut. he was talking about the budget. his new focus on income inequality, do you see that helping or hurting red and purple state senates who are up -- senators who are up in '14? >> i think the way the president looks at it is there is a, the challenge for the american economy and for middle class folks and folks who want to get in the middle class is shrinking opportunity, shrinking mobility. one of the causes of that is the growing, is growing income inequality. there are also some larger factors like globalization, changes in technology that allow, you know, factories and producers to be more efficient and need less labor. so he laid out in the state of the union what he called an opportunity agenta, to restore opportunity and deal with rising income unequality. what the president laid out in the state of the union and also in a speech he gave at the dnc on friday which a lot of people didn't see because it happened right after the situation this ukraine escalated, but we laid out what i believe is a model that democrats in red states, blue states and purple statements all can run on. there's tremendous unanimity around the economic agenda in the democratic party. the good news is, that is where the public's focus is. >> there's been a clear shift in your rhetoric from income inequality to growth and opportunity. how did that come about? >> i think income inequality is a very real problem, it is a tremendous challenge to address. it is just one piece of, a very important piece, but one piece of overall, of an overall economic plan, so we want the make sure we are talking about how we're dealing with income inequality, economic mobility, economic growth with, creating jobs. so it's -- [audio difficulty] >> i think that one of the great -- [audio difficulty] >> you have to look at the research and data -- [inaudible] [audio difficulty] more or less likely to vote for somebody who supported the minimum wage. 50% more likely -- go and the it's a powerful issue among republicans. >> it is. and incompetents. so let's -- independents. let's compare aca and minimum wage. 34% more likely to support someone who supported aca. so it's a 16-point gap. among independents it's 50-35, 15-point gap. and so there's tremendous power in this issue, and that's because the american people view as a values issue which is if you work full time in this country, you should not live this poverty. and republicans have no good argument against it. they say, well, you know, speaker boehner in response to our event yesterday said there is proof that the minimum wage kills jobs. >> well, the converse of that argument is if that is your belief, what should the minimum wage be? is the current rate be? should it be less? if we had a lower minimum wage, would that create more jobs? there's a values issue here, and the american people have pretty good consensus around it with tremendous intensity, republicans are on the wrong side of it. >> dan pfeiffer, one of your legacies will be that you coined pen and -- [laughter] how did that phrase come about, your way of refer oring to the president's, the new kind of bully pulpit exive action -- executive action? >> as we were thinking about 2014 and -- the year, not the election, you have to say that sometimes in this town -- >> oh, come on. >> as in my own life. but is that, you know, it is, you know, we live in a divided government, you know? even in the greatest, in the time of of greatest comity on capitol hill, it is not realistic to expect a republican congress to pass large parts of a democratic president's agenda. so the question is how are we going to restore opportunity, how are we going to invest, how are are are we going to move the ball forward on the president's agenda? it is going to be through, primarily through the use of executive power with some real potential exceptions on immigration, some other issues we're pushing in congress. there are two ways. there's the pen which is executive orders, regulations, recent example is this minimum wage executive order which means that if you want to get a federal contract starting next year, you're going to have to pay your workers $10.10. but there's a whole other element which is the idea this convening authority that the president through the power of the oval office, through the power of his popularity, his resonance on social media can draw attention to and mobilize people to do it. .. we are urging states and cities to use local reference and legislative measures to do it. we were with several governors who all enforced a $10.10 minimum wage. were called on companies to do it. i think most famously the gap announced they would will raise wages to $10 an hour. when we arrived in boston yesterday for a fundraiser after the reference, you open up "the boston globe," a full-page ad from a guy who owns car dealerships in the massachusetts area. it says i did it. he declares he is going to raise wages to $10.10 for his employees. we're trying to build momentum and that's through the bully pulpit and it will make a real difference. the end of the year we want to pass and push hard to do that. our goal is, how many people's wages can be raised? >> but how did you coin [audio difficulty] >> this was a process of trial and error to try to figure out, is part of an effort is stop everyone in once and having convening authority. much simpler and understood to understand. >> you have involved in pushing the department, pushing the domestic policy council, different parts of the government to come up with stuff that the president can do on his own that it's hard because the good stuff you did with your previous bush, we can't wait. >> well, i think that we have tried to inject, president has sort of ordered us to inject new creativity and thinking into use of executive authority. we have done a lot to executive authority. most nobody i think the action for the population, the dream students, and stuff on student loans and clean energy and stuff in the past. this year now basically said we've got three years left, this'll be the greatest opportunity we have. we would have or have a greater opportunity to do more good for people here. let's inject new creativity into this, new thinking, new energy. let's go outside the building and talk to people. >> did you specifically tell you think bigger? >> he said think bigger and think harder. and so i think that's several ways, we have some new folks in your into the white house like a john podesta who have a real expertise and experts in these matters. he's been very helpful. we have some new cabinet members this time in the term. we are going outside the building and talking to academics, business folks, policy books, alumni from our initiation and others, republicans and democrats to get good ideas. we're going back to the agencies and departments and saying what is it you look at and decided not to do? let's give it another look. there may be a good reason we didn't do it. it maybe it' it's something we wanted to we held off on because there's some potential legislative path we were trying to preserve. >> so there's an ongoing governmentwide effort to find more things the president can do under executive action, you personally are pushing on? >> we are pushing very hard to look for things because the president wants to be out every day that we're not moving the ball forward, today is they will not get back. >> the president in his second term has been taking more risk. we see one example with the first lady. let's move. the first term is more encouragement. this year we are seeing a little bit of a fist regulation on food. will we see the president be tougher in the second term? will he have the freedom to take more risks? >> i think, i would say as i think back to the first term it was not a risk-free endeavor. taking the steps to save the auto industry when every poll including the ones in michigan said that was a terrible idea and greater risk. so i think that was not, we were not cautious in the first term. there's certainly a freedom in your thinking in the second term because fewer political pressures and we'll take advantage of that to do more of them. >> will we see a little more of a community organizer influence in the second term? >> i'm not entirely sure what that means. i think the phone effort he referred to are something that grows from the presidents experience but it's -- community organizer has a belief that change happens from the bottom, not the top down. and so i think we will always try to build on it. >> as long as i've known you going back to when you until you've been fascinated by how you spread, how people get their impressions, and this has changed dramatically since the time he had been in the white house. lookahead, think about what your successor is going to face. how do you imagine the media and the press and climate in five years of? >> i have great sympathy for whoever has my job in five years, because the speed at which things are happening is moving exponentially every year. the changing technology in 2008, the obama campaign, we broke all kinds of barriers with the smartest internet campaign ever. we're pushing the envelope and the obama campaign spent -- said one tweet in 2008. by 2012, twitter is driving the debate, a huge piece of the strategy. we spent -- campaign spent time everything but how you use twitter in the campaign. there will be some things in 2015 we don't know what is yet but i promise you it will make, it will be faster and with greater potential benefit but also greater risk. and it will probably be great for campaigns and make governing harder. >> dan, why would it make governing harder? >> i think because governing takes time. you have to make decisions. you have to make decisions that have good substance outcomes that are thought through, and the sickly the entire -- what used to take a week or two weeks in terms of the press cycle, people -- let's take ukraine as an example. 10 years ago, maybe five years ago something happened in ukraine, president of that, as one does it happen, then everyone is altogether on it and we are united and then we set the strategy plays itself out and maybe people start having critic and then there's a moment where the press turns on you. now that all happens, like the president spoke at 4:00 at the tnc giving a speech at five and all that happened by the time he got off the stage at the tnc. it lends itself -- it makes it harder to be deliberative and strategic in an environment where you are -- if you use a sports metaphor, used to be you would read the story about the baseball game that night or the next day. now the political equivalent the we are not just writing the story about it every penny. we are writing every pitch. everything has to be, there's like an element comment either hyperbole or apocalyptic description of it in every moment. like this is the greatest foreign policy crisis the president has ever had. >> but wait. that's true spend it maybe, it may not be. we don't know this point. "huffington post," there is a long line of them in som and sof them were very greatness and some of them went away pretty quickly. >> every speech -- >> yes. >> how do you guard against the haste? >> the event we have, the president is very delivered person. so -- >> to see slow you down? >> easels all of us don't, myself included. before we act, before we go out and do something, and this is more, he will take a step back, he's always urging us to play the long game, to think through how this is going to affect our ultimate goal. so that slows us down to the other thing is experience, is the long, the longer he is here, the longer we been in the white house, you have a great ability to separate the signal from the noise. what is a real political problem, real legislative problem and what's just a fleeting thing in a moment. i was thinking about this when secretary gates book came out, and there was, while the book was i think very generous to cope wit with the present enemys there were some excerpts blown up to be this big thing. took it very in stride. i'm confident that for years prior, let people myself included will be running around like chickens or heads, trying to figure out how we would respond to this, biggest thing ever. turns out, like three days later the press is on other things. your press fires now burning hotter and faster than it did before, but a few days later you were onto something else. >> in secretary gates book he quoted the president as saying for those of you who writing your memoirs, dan, you've been involved in your fridge roles in the white house in cooperative with, participating in, rejecting book ideas, how do you feel about books? what do you will get from participating in an? how do you feel about the factor colleagues have written memoirs? does that impact you at all? >> i don't think you can let it in an -- to think that the first is how does it feel to have sort of your day-to-day work life written about in books? basically almost everyday we've been covered in some book, now in this, you know, everyone, it's not just the books. political desert, the times, everybody writes a tic tac of every event. this woodward style writing. what was up when thinking in the room, what with a feeling? it's all very dramatic. that is a very surreal experience because you go back, you go back in like a glance to these books region. i try not to read most of them but a lot of them are exited in the papers and such, you don't you remember the day. tremendously dramatic pivot point, historical and else's and just like a normal day. so i always say to reporters are covering or writing about books, it's like imagine if someone went into your workplace and wrote about every day you had, like if there's a reporter embedded in politico or elsewhere speed that would be great stuff. [laughter] >> very surreal. it's all interesting and important because its government and the white house that also could be born on a daily basis. when you're writing books, you know, a lot of the stuff, some of it is inaccurate, a lot of it is acted. it feels like me when i read it later more dramatic than it really was. >> i think in terms of colleagues writing memoirs, you can't see it one way -- i'm never going to say in thing of consequence because because someone is taking notes. i trust j. but someone is going to write about it. a year from now, 10 years from now, but if you worry about that then you basically sitting office all day long. >> to a lot of people take notes? >> some do. i don't know if anyone has taken it for the express purpose of a book. i suspect a lot of some of my colleagues will write a book. i think in the long run that's a good thing. when i was reading robert caro's book last year, is -- >> which one? >> the most recent one on lbj. the guy is like, that is an amazingly detailed portrait of the presidency. and the books that some of my colleagues will write will help inform that about president obama 40 years from now, a good historical benefit. >> is a taking notes in meetings, is it frowned on or is a part of the job of? >> part of the job. i would say as far as i know, everyone has taken it for the purpose of referring to notes later to do their job in this current day. >> will you write a book? >> i've thought about that. i don't know. i don't know that it would, i don't know who would want to read a book but i think it would be an interesting thing to do. and having been here for everyday of it, you know, it would be, i've seen, i have some perspective that only a small handful of people have because there's only a few select group of the overly stubborn and tired who have done the whole thing without a break. so it's interesting. i think that a book about, there's historical benefit for here's one person's view about this decision was made and that decision was made and that's interesting. there was some perspective on not just about this president but what it's like to govern in this day and age. >> january 20, 2017, what's the likelihood you were in the white house? >> i don't think it's high. but i think about -- it's close to impossible i think. but i don't know. there is, the day we leave any of these jobs in the white house are frankly up on capital or anywhere else is the day it's no longer a thrill. the you can't find one reason to be thrilled during the day, when you work in the white house, then it's probably time to do. people leave for a good reasons. i don't know when that will happen. there are times i thought it was close to happening, but this year has been the most exciting year that i've worked in the white house today. i think there's a new energy. the president is focused. we have a map and a plate of how we would use the next three years to advance our agenda and i think that is very energizing. >> that's a remarkable statement because it's not apparent on the outside. what is the trigger for the internal excitement? >> i think it is, a little bit did you feel the ticking clock, which is what, three years ago seemed like a century ago. it doesn't feel like this is going to end tomorrow, but, you know, you've got, the president says the all the time to you will never have a great opportunity to do more good for people than you have right now. how can we maximize it? how can we do real things? this is the greatest job i'll ever have, and so that's exciting. and i think that people feel that. like 2013 is viewed as, you know, by a lot of folks as a terrible, tough year for the president. it was an annoying year and a lot of years, a lot of stuff happened that was distracting and challenging and there is, we made some mistakes around -- healthcare.gov most notably that we regret but we made progress. when you think back like we took all of that and we are still moving forward and we are doing real things. >> i know you don't expect this to happen and you don't dwell on it, but if you have a republican senate in january 2015 which would be a totally republican capital, what will be your strategy agenda for dealing with that? >> i'm not planning on it. we are not preparing for. i'm very confident the democrats will retain the senate. i think as you and i've been having this conversation at this point in 2012, this point in 2010, the expectation would be for the balkans to take the senate. i think that will happen again and that's where all of our energy and focus is. >> let's talk about what it would mean. it would be the dose, investigations, what else is? >> i think it would mean a loss for an agenda to the american people care about and support. it is most notably, the arena of judicial executive nominations, the republican senate i imagine would do, would block almost everything but the fact that this president got in the last year for nominees, the second most, will have the real consequence for an agenda in a jurisprudence the president cares about. that would not happen with the republican senate. the ability to pass a budget deal that sent everything ago but would relieve some of the sequestered, that would have happened if the republicans took charge of the senate. the republicans, with a republican house we've had 50 repeal vote on health care last year. republicans said, i promise you, we spent all of its times to create jobs, growing the economy, trying to repeal the affordable care act. they would fail but they would try -- is a wasted opportunity. >> june 2017, you turn down that big job at the nba. you our the washington bureau chief of "the new york times." how to change the structure of the presidency is covered? >> well, i think this is a fascinating question. because i think that, that both the way in which the widest those things and the way the white house press corps covers the white house are both probably flatly outdated in that meeting. things are moving too fast and they -- i think fairmount about jay's briefing, france's which i think it's critically important that there's a place during the day at some point in time on camera where the white house is forced to answer questions from the press but i think that's important. doesn't make since it happens at one in the afternoon and at a time when people, the midmorning of the late morning at the point? probably not. but that's kind of -- we wanted to what the press wants. a couple things i would suggest i think may make more sense in the course of time. it would be more, potentially fewer folks who are sort of general reporters covering the widest, more subject matter experts will cover a beat. the white house becomes a part of that beach. so instead of the fact we are getting on aca or immigration comments to the fact that just the white house report is forced to write a health care story, the economy story, but you folks were experts in that you're covered in the white house. because i think the way people consume information right now they want more expertise. they don't need as much to know just what happened that day. it's more in depth. i think it would be good for everyone for the white house to more policy, great for the public. i think the other thing that you would want to do is you want to hire some very, very spartak the logical people to figure out how you can take the content you get from reporting and transfer it into a more mobile friendly format, a more visual format. so i think that's graphics and charts and videos would be a big piece covering the white house in 2017. and i think, you know, last but not least would be you would want to dedicate people who cover the white house full-time or close to full-time to do long form journalism. so you have some who bravely write about the force, not just the trees. >> how can you imagine modernizing that? what now takes a form of 1:00-ish on camera, people in the seats, jay behind a podium, what can you imagine more modern? >> i don't have the answer to that. i thought about that a lot. during the transition thinking of how we would do differently. i do not a good answer to that. is it a shorter briefing in the morning? is it something later in the day, sort of wrap things up? is there a way in which a form in which people could get answers to questions sort of intermittent during the day? is there a way in which you can get the public more involved? you know, how do you reach beyond -- the white house press core is a very important role, and they should be the center of this in all scenarios, but how do you have a situation where some of the folks out in the country, either public or reporters who aren't in washington or in a briefing, despite that in a way? >> how does it is opinion journalism. >> can you imagine expanding with those in the next three years or do you think you're stuck with what you've got? >> i think that would be hard to do. i think that it would really, there's something that only a new president can do. >> why, from your point of view, is archaic or maybe outmoded? >> i think, i mean, it is, you know, for the folks who work at a press office o or on the front line deal or on the frontline did a with reporters, they have talked to reporters who were in the briefing 10 times by the time they get to ask jf question. so it becomes a little more -- vijay a question. they've already tweeted about it, already blogged in so that's a chance on camera where jay has to stand up there and answer, be held accountable our message on camera but i think that's important but it's not as important -- that's your one shot to get it into. that's all that matters. but they -- you're going to do one broadcast at 6:30 p.m. >> very rapid run as we say goodbye. what's a book you've read recently recommend to people who work for and with your? >> eyed over the course of the holidays i read two books for the express purpose of think about the job and i read peter baker's book on the bush administration and i reread john harris' book on bill clinton, the survivor. whether it was useful to me and that was for all the apocalyptic descriptions of our 2013, life is just really hard in the white house and that i look at that and i said you know what? our 2013 seemed a lot better than almost every of the bush administration and the clinton administration. so it gives you some perspective -- [laughter] >> in september you had a heart scare. unitedhealthcare. you are hospitalized twice. what's changed as a result of the? >> that give me real perspective. >> tell us what happened. >> ironically enough i was at a dinner with reporters having -- during the syria, coverage of syria. a very vigorous debate. where i intentionally had what was -- layman's terms, and many stroke right sentence of a mini stroke which sort of lost the link in half, the right side of my body. scary at the time, went to the hospital, got very, very good health coverage through very good health care. spiffed george washington? they give you good care? >> i know. and what was, i was are fortunate their ear the mistake i made was i went to work the next day and i was back in the hospital. but i think it has given me a lot of perspective on sort of how fragile all of this is, and the need for care. and i have been taking some steps in to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> what are those steps the? >> you know, better sort of worklife management. in hindsight, it does not make sense to leave the hospital and then go to work six hours later. like again is probably, dennis would've done just as well without me there, and so you sort make decisions and realize it will all be fine if you're not there that day. >> what is something that even you gave up for land or that you should? >> -- for land. i can think of a thousand things i should. i think that what i probably should do, give up, is, would be watching sportscenter in my office in the morning instead of morning shows. >> that's healthy. >> it is a challenge. >> give is something you should actually give out. >> probably -- >> or what is something you should change the? >> in general? i think it's going to what we talked about, which is what's happening, sort of better worklife balance. to have some, you know, it's important to remember in the white house which someone once said to me, it's a marathon, not a sprint. so think about it that way. >> an ultimate question. we know the president reads david brooks. we know the president reads the new times editors but we know he reads "the new yorker." with something the president reads, you know he reads, you're confident that once is out there is on his ipad? >> good question. he reads, yeah, like a sick and he reads a lot of magazines. this probably will not be surprising, espn, "sports illustrated." what is surprising, would not be any specific publication, but he finds things on the internet digging pretty deep that are interesting articles that someone has written complex subject matter experts, like, you know, he mentioned a very fascinating piece about -- i don't government where it was but it wasn't in any of the ones you mentioned, about, disappearing bees and there are fewer bees. this has to do with climate change but very interested in that. and brings that stuff up. and there is, he reads a lot more fiction, a lot of books, short stories, a lot of stuff that will be in "the new yorker" or some other magazine. but he is a man, for people who think -- is obama a single handedly trying to keep it up. >> last question for you. we have a lot of young people in this audience and watch a live e stream and watch this on c-span, what's your advice to young person working in the administration, working on the hill about how to succeed in washington, they want to be you? >> i would say two things. one, i would recommend people go work on campaigns. and i think that is the ultimate meritocracy in politics. it doesn't matter how old you are, where you went to school, where you came from, if you ask what you get a chance to do things. that would be step one. step two is never the work for a person you think will win. go work for the person you want to win. because that would be what works best. i've worked on a couple campaigns that felt like crusades and causes, and there's no better feeling than that. the ones where you feel like to work recovery, not so good. >> can't let you go by financial you think your final four will be? >> i usually screw my bracket up by picking georgetown to go farther than they do which is not that far. this year that probably not be a problem for me. so i would get, my pick at this exact moment would be florida, arizona, louisville and my sleeper would be virginia. >> and your final to? >> florida and arizona with florida as the national champion. >> and visual bracket more accurate or less accurate than the president? >> in recent years my brackets have been much less accurate because in 2009, when georgetown lost in the first round to ohio, the president picked georgetown -- beat duke by 20 points. even picked georgetown to go far. george town destroyed his bracket in a always takes them to lose in the first round, and so he's been doing much better than i have. >> we have playwright, so i have to ask will harvard go to march madness the? >> i suspect they will and i think they will win in the first round again. >> so they will win in the first? >> yes. >> and then -- >> i think it will go home at that point. >> want to thank those of you who are watching c-span, c-span, thank you for caring this faceting conversation but i want to thank dan, the amazing events team at politico, thank make of america for making these conversations possible and thank all of you for coming out. dan, thank you for a great conversation. >> yeah, thank you. [applause] [inaudible conversations] >> and as your damn hyper touch on this point, the ap confirms in a story also the obama it was dishing -- dan pfeiffer up against pro-russian a proposed new ukraine government and click away from financial sings as wes begins pushing moscow for refusing to withdraw its troops from ukraine's crimea region. also a portion of the statement issued by the white house says today that the president has signed an executive order that authorized sanctions on individuals and entities responsible for to these undermine democratic processes or institutions in ukraine threaten the peace, security, stability, sovereignty or territorial integrity of ukraine contributing to the missile provision of state assets of ukraine or reporting to assert governmental authority over any part of ukraine without authorization from ukraine government in kiev. we will continue to watch this story and bring you updates as they become available. >> when the u.s. senate reconvenes at 9:30 a.m. eastern, the opening prayer will be delivered by the dalai lama. live coverage of the senate issue on c-span2. >> now a briefing on the president's proposed budget for health care. health and human service secretaries, kathleen sebelius and others briefed reporters on tuesday. we were showed as much of this as we can do to our live of the senate at 9:30 eastern. >> good afternoon, everybody. thank you for joining us here today, and i'm delighted to be joined by our talented and dedicated senior health leadership here at the department of health and human services. you will have an opportunity to talk to them in just a minute but i want to start by just thanking them for the incredible work they do each and every day. now, together we represent tens of thousands of hard-working men and women who are committed to expanding opportunity for millions of americans. as the president has said, if you work hard and take responsibility, you ought to have the opportunity to build a better life for yourself and for your family. this department's mission is critically important to making that idea a reality for folks in every part of our country. the budget we are announcing today is fiscally responsible. on the mandatory side we will contribute a net $359 billion toward deficit reduction over the next decade. by incentivizing high quality and efficient care, and by continuing to reduce health care costs growth, this budget also strengthens two very important programs, medicare and medicaid, with $450 million in net savings over the next decade. and extends the solvency of hospital insurance trust fund i five years. it will reduce the average annual growth in medicare over the next decade from 6.3% to 5.3%. what's more, by expanding competitive bidding for durable medical equipment, it also produces additional savings for medicare and its beneficiaries alike. now, want to call your attention to a few of the specific investments this budget makes an opportunity, economic growth, and security. the budget invested to empower americans to live healthier lives and to obtain financial security for their families through the affordable care act. our budget provides resources to continue to support these efforts, including the operations of the marketplace, to help individuals enrolled in the best health insurance coverage options available for themselves and their families. the overall investment of $1.8 billion in the marketplace will allow millions of americans to finally achieve a secure to of health insurance for themselves and their families. something that many have waited years to i can come in, their entire lives. the investment this budget makes an america's committee health centers alone will make a formal health care available to a total of 31 million patients, at 9500 existing sites, and 150 new center sites. for fiscal year 2015, this investment is $4.6 billion. to further expand opportunity, the budget invests in job creation in a health care workforce initiative. with 14 points $62 billion in mandatory funds over the next 10 years, we'll be able to, among other things, expand the national health service corps to the least 18,000 providers. we will also be able to support 13,000 medical students in three-year residencies, and to extend the medicaid primary care increase through calendar year 2015. the budget makes some critically important investments in our children's health, well being, and development. request $6.1 billion both mandatory and discretionary funds for the child care and development fund, including $200 million which will be dedicated to improving the quality of that care. the presidency total childcare request enables 1.4 million children to receive assistance. that's 74,000 more children and could be served without additional funding. the budget also addresses the overprescription of psychotropic medications in the foster care population, by funding a joint five year acf a cms demonstration at the state level. in doing so, it allows us to remove what is often a roadblock to opportunity and educational attainment for more than 400,000 vulnerable american children. in addition, there's a $5 million investment in a new initiative that will assist youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities as they transition from supportive childhood environments into adulthood. this budget makes a number of credible important investments in behavioral health and substance abuse treatment and prevention. for example, it invest to increase the number of license the april health professionals. professionals and mental health and addiction specialists. and expansion of the national health service corps, we continue to invest in the behavioral health workforce through the president's now is the time and initiative. these investments helped to train approximately 5000 additional mental health professionals and increase the field strength of the national health service corps. in addition, the budget invested $26 million towards the cdc and the samsung work to prevent the prescription drug misuse, abuse and overdoses. the budget invests protect safety and security of patients and taxpayers alike. it includes $59 to expand prevention efforts in primary care practices, nursing homes and other health care settings. and puts $25 million into elder justice initiatives which are designed to reduce the negative effects of abuse, neglect, exploitation that far too many of our seniors suffer. it invest $428 million in hcfa sea and the medicaid integrity program. both of which are proven to deliver results in fighting fraud. every dollar we invest in hcfac returns $8.10 in the money we recover. we have now announced recovering a record-breaking $4.3 billion. the budget also does some critical important things in the area of biodefense. it invest in funding that will support the development and procurement of medical countermeasures, and as a result, we will be able to strengthen the neighbors -- the nation's preparedness across a variety of threats. specifically it invest an additional $250 million to support the department of biodefense countermeasures through barda, project bioshield, and pandemic influenza preparedness. it also invests $45 million in cdc's global health security activities, along with $30 million to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens. we're also investing to protect the safety of our food supplies and our pharmaceutical products. this budget increases our investment in fda food safety by $263 million. and it invest 25 million to expand oversight of pharmacy compounding so we can combat and prevent crises like the fungal meningitis outbreak that occurred in 2012. now, before we open for questions and answers, i also want to call your attention to a few of the additional hhs related investments that president obama is proposing as part of his governmentwide opportunity, growth, and security initiative, which would be fully paid for by closing various tax loopholes. the presidents initiative calls for greater investment to support early learning opportunities from birth through age three. it proposes increasing our total investment in early head start childcare partnerships by $800 million. that would bring our total investment up to $1.5 billion more importantly, provide more than 100,000 children with access to high quality early education. the opportunity growth and security initiative also proposes an additional $970 million in funding for the national institutes of health. this investment would support research, discovery and innovation. it would empower scientists and researchers to advance their work towards finding new cures, treatments, vaccines, technologies and other breakthroughs. as another part of the opportunity, growth, and security initiative, the president is requesting $50 million to support the advanced developers of a universal flu vaccine that would be effective against varying strains of flu, including those with pandemic potential. last but not least, the president proposes to invest $200 million in projects on the indian health services construction list. this not only makes a difference in the health and well being of first americans, it will support construction jobs that benefit our overall it economy. overall, as you can see, taken together, this budget and the opportunity, growth, and security initiative investment at hhs would make important strides in opportunity, economic and security for all americans. i would be pleased to answer a few questions that you may have. [inaudible] neither secretary, could you talk a little bit about the implementation of the affordable care act? are you going to have enough money from user fees and other sources to cover the full cost of this coming year? or we have to seek more money from congress or reprogram existing funds here at a just? could you please give us that overview? >> i think, ricardo, if congress funds the president's budget, which is written to the targets agreed upon by senator murray and representative ryan, this would fully fund the ongoing implementation of the affordable care act. so we start with that proposal and hope that they indeed will find it. and a lot of the $1.8 billion that we have suggested is the appropriate target for implementation, is covered by user fees. that 1.2 of the $1.8 billion our projected user fee, income for 2015. if congress fails to pass a budget, fails to implant the president's budget, then we will look at varying other sources of funding for the full dental mentation. but we intend to go forward. but as i say, use of these are a significant feature in the budget request. >> sue darcey, the gray sheet. what percentage of the center budget is user fees this year and is that an increase from last year? >> i'm going to call on walter from fda. >> we have about $61 million over budget -- two lines, that's 61 million small portion of that about 25 million, 20 segment represents devices. [inaudible] >> the lion's share of the funding for that is user fees. we can give you additional information later. i just don't have a ton of detail for you but i know greater comes from user fees spend as long as you are here -- >> excuse me. thank you to you have a chance to talk to the operating divisions in greater detail. i'm going to take a couple of questions and then turned over to them. are there anymore questions for me? yes, sir. >> joly whitacre. i'd like to ask -- joly whitacre. eliminate duplication or apparent duplication of programs within your various hhs agencies. i'm thinking specifically of an aggressive on-call program that's running in cdc's which seems to me to duplicate efforts that should be being done by sampson or nih are some of the other agencies but i wonder if you could address that our comment at any rate? >> again, i would be happy, dr. freedman is your as well as spam, to talk about the specifics. i can tell you not only at budget time but basically each and every day we look for duplication of effort, ways to streamline efficiencies, ways to lower administrative costs and push more of our resources toward programs that i to benefit the people we serve. our discretionary budget proposal for 2015 is actually over a billion dollars lower than the discretionary budget for 2014. so again, we were targeting a number that assumed a reduction and redundancies are sorted one of the areas that we look. since cdc doesn't really run a lot of dreck programs, they do more surveillance and stance actually pushes money in block grants, largely to states and localities, it's hard to imagine that those funding streams even if they deal with alcohol, the both of you with alcohol are duplicative, but again i will let the agency directors specifically respond to that. i'm going to turn over the podium now to ellen murray, the assistant secretary for finance is here at hhs, who does a spectacular job and knows this budget inside out. >> thank you, secretary. are there any other questions? pretty easy. >> just a follow-up, on the tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies. to the costs of those appear in the hhs a budget or o on the in and of the department's budget? >> they would in the department of treasury. >> and to do you know that number speak with i don't offhand. we can get that to you but it would be other budget documents. >> okay, thank you. >> but i have mr. harris up here again? i'm tucker is it a dr. harrison? >> no. regular guy spent i can't help but as because you were on the hill the other day. is there a certain amount of money that fda sets aside for computer surveillance of its potentially whistleblowing employees of? >> to be honest with you i think we take over the curren years ae of inappropriate manner so we can have a proper rollout of the program itself. we don't receive additional dollars for the. we think we are currently the right not resources to roll our program -- program out as is. that was looking at a set of processes to protect whistleblowers and using the resources we currently have to properly put them out across fda to make sure we're doing the right thing. thing. >> said to have a set money figure for that like a million dollars, a couple million? >> i don't have those details here today. i can tell you we are now reproducing resources in the most appropriate manner to protect those folks. >> immolate with cg but am wondering if you can do a little bit more about the attempts to prevent medicare fraud and particularly making tighter restrictions to make sure people get medicare are legal residents spent i will turn over to marilyn tavenner, if i could. >> i assume you're talking about some of the articles this morning around the cmd role. back in the '90s, i think was in 1996, there were provisions in place for medicare a and b. to make sure that individuals who were receiving medicare benefits were citizens or residents. what this rule does is it extends that program which is in cooperation with ffa to the cmd platform. it is actually less work that was started about a year ago and follow-up to an oig report. so we are now extending it across all the medicare progra programs. >> as reported in this is part of the budget for this is not a legislative proposal in our fiscal year '15 budget, a rule to clarify existing law. any other questions? >> i have to wait for these people to tell me. >> georgina from cq roll call. i wanted to talk about the application of fisma and the user fees that are included in this proposal? how is fisma going to be implemented? congress doesn't seem to have had much of an appetite. >> well, i'm going to turn this over to walter, but we requested additional 25 million in budget authority for food said activity and also user fees where proposed for the years passed and we hope to work with congress to get those enacted but walter, you want to add anything? >> of the 263, 239 will go towards fisma. about 24 million will go to our be a life. were taken is this approach to measure the fisma program is rolled up. you asked me if that is enough. no, we think there's more that the come down the line but for now we think this is enough to have us start the program, roll it out. we are looking for two additional conversations in the future to make sure we can properly support the program. >> hi. i'm jennifer from "the wall street journal" but i was wondering if someone t could go into more detail on the $1.8 billion for the marketplace. i've seen that technology but it doesn't include grants to states. could you provide -- >> it would include all the hhs, cms costs for administration of the federally facilitated marketplaces, not only i.t. but also assistance, call centers, outreach, premium plan support. it would be offset by an estimated $1.2 billion in user fees in fiscal '15. marilyn, to want to add to that? >> i had a question for francis collins. the money issue, what is a? is a more or isn't less than last year of? >> so, there is in the budget and increase for what's called the acceleration network which has now been boosted up to 30 million in this budget. this is a part of an cat allows us to tackle some of the most challenging and vexing problems in terms of obstacles in the drug development pathway. our advisory board which is constituted by remarkable group of academics from small business and from big pharma have already generated a substantial list that would will exceed the dollars that are proposed here. so we have a lot of exciting ideas about how to use that money. this is an opportunity in a very bold, innovative proactive way to try to tackle some of those obstacles that still make it far too slow and t too failure prone to develop drugs and devices, despite the remarkable advances in basic science. so we are pleased and excited to have that additional boost. >> any other questions? spent yes. i had a question for dr. collins. i was wondering about what was touted in the president's request as a sort of dark or light initiative. is this an increase to the high risk high reward, or is this a new program? is that entirely out of this opportunity growth and sustainability initiative or will it come out of other nih budget? >> let me explain. this is out of the budget which is within the ryan-murray envelope, $30 million to utilize within our common fund to tackle projects which would be particularly appropriate for the darpa model where you have a project manager who identifies a bold, innovative strategy to tackle a really important problem. and then has the freedom to go out and recruit those who might contribute to it. small companies, individual academics. put this together into a team but not sort of taking the maybe sometimes year or two that it might, to go through the usual grant solicitation and award and not always getting exactly the team he hoped for. so this puts the project manager in a much stronger position to scope this whole enterprise. and for darpa that's been pretty successful model with things like gps and internet and a few other things that turned out pretty well. we are very pleased to be able to have the authority in the $39 to tackle projects of that sort. one that we're thinking about which has just begun to emerge as a really exciting scientific opportunity is the notion that one might be able to design technologies that could both record and send signals to the peripheral nervous system that would allow you to modulate the immune system, the body's blood pressure to deal with pain issues. there is a real exciting opportunity here. this is somewhat different than the brain initiative which is focused on the central nervous system. this so-called electrosurgical's initiative aims to look at the peripheral nervous system and figure out ways that we might be able to modulate that. it's a great opportunity bring together people who know something about physiology, about engineering, about neuroscience. imagine, for instance, if you are able to actually record and stimulate the carotid body which -- >> we are going to leave this briefing at this point to go live to the u.s. senate. a quick reminder with president obama's budget and related briefings and hearings available for you to check out anytime online at c-span.org. the senate about the government to begin that day. three executive nominations on the agenda with a vote expected later this morning. this afternoon lawmakers will consider military sexual assault bills. votes are expected this afternoon. and now to the senate floor and today's opening prayer given by the dalai lama, live on c-span2. the president pro tempore: the senate will come to order. the opening prayer will be offered by his holiness, the dalai lama. his holiness, the dalai lama: firstly, as usual, i am buddhist monk, so pray to buddha and all other gods. [speaking in foreign tongue] the first sentence i'll read. now my broken english. the pronunciation may not be correct, at least not american pronunciation. with our thoughts, we make our world. our mind is central and precedes our deeds. speak or act with a pure mind, and happiness will follow you like a shadow that never leaves. the second sentence: [speaking in foreign tongue] may there be joy in the world with harvest and spiritual rest. may every good fortune come to be and may all our wishes be fulfilled. [speaking in foreign tongue] this is my favorite prayer. daily i pray this. that gives me inner strength. so i am asking to serve humanity. as long as space remains and as long as beings remain, until then may i, too, remain and help dispel the misery of the world. thank you. the president pro tempore: please join me in reciting the pledge of allegiance to the flag. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. mr. reid: mr. president? the president pro tempore: the majority leader. mr. reid: it's my pleasure to welcome to the united states senate his holiness, the 14th dalai lama. i know i speak for the entire senate family when i express our gratitude for the prayer to open the senate and his words of encouragement and his blessing. his holiness, the dalai lama, is well-known throughout the world as a spiritual leader of the tibetian people and for spreading the gospel of peace and compassion and love of our fellow human beings. but it is a tradition when the united states senate welcomes a guest chaplain to say a few words about the honored guest. my friendship with his holiness has roots from a good man from california by the name of richard blum who has done more to, in my opinion, help the tibetan people and his holiness than anyone else. his holiness often says that he's only a simple monk, born to a farming family in northeastern tibet. but to millions of people in tibet and across the globe he is much more. he is a source of hope and inspiration in a world that can sometimes seem very dark. and i he was only two years old when he was recognized as reincarnation of the 13th dalai lama. four years later when he was just a little boy he gone his montana n.a.s. stick education and studied logic, art, tibetan culture, among many other things. at age 23 he passed his awards with honors. and was awarded a ph.d. in buddhist philosophy. he has been traveling the world raising awareness about the concerns of 6 million fellow tibetance, as he would say "making new friends around the world." in tibetan buddhist philosophy, the dalai lama -- all of them -- are enlightened beings who have proposed -- postponed their own nirvana or liberation from the cycle of reincarnation in order to serve humanity. this particular enlightened human being has chosen to spread a message of peace. he motivates countless people around the world people of every faith practice compassion toward one another. his holiness urges us all to be kind. and these are his words, "being kind whenever possible." and he says it is ole always possible. the dalai lama's teachings contain lessons for people around the world and certainly within this chamber. he also advises us, "the best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk." pretty simple but very true. it's advice that those off us fortunate enough to serve our country and constituents in the senate should take heart and follow. the presence of his holiness in this chamber today inspires me, as i hope it does all of us, to renew our commitment to speak and act with pure mind to help dispel the misery of the world. mr. president, i now move to proceed to calendar number 309. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: motion to proceed to s. 1086, a bill to reauthorize and improve the child care development block grant act. mr. reid: the senate will be in a period of morning business until 10:30 with the republicans controlling the first half and the majority the final half. following that morning business, the senate will proceed to executive session. at 11:20, there will be up to three roll call votes on executive nominations. following that, there will be two hours of debate on the military sexual assault bills. bat 2:00 p.m. there will be a series of roll call votes in relation to the military sexual assaults. we also expect to consider additional executive nominations which may require votes later today. mr. leahy: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from vermont. mr. leahy: i ask consent to be able to continue as in morning business for about three minutes. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. leahy: mr. president, i feel honored to be a member of the united states senate and be president pro tempore, but i can't think of any greater honor than this morning when i was able to introduce to the senate an old and dear friend, his holiness, the dalai lama. marcel and i have been friends of his holiness for decades, and we count that as a great treasure, just as i saw senator feinstein earlier on the floor, another longtime friend with his husband of his holiness. mr. president, i have watched him for so many years, his representation of the tibetan people. es a joined on the floor by another buddhist, senator hirono of hawaii, and the gracious comments of senator reid reflect how people feel about him. i think of how the faith of his people are moved and i've told his holiness this story. when i walked through the streets of lasa, tibet, years ago, a man holding a small child saw me, pointed to my camera and held up a picture of his holiness. he was risking being imprisoned for having that, but he insisted i take this picture. i did. i've given that photograph to his holiness, and i've told him the story that when we asked the man, why did he risk prison to show the picture of his holiness? he said, because people have to know. the world has to know the great faith of the tibetan people. and their longing for the autonomy they deserve to practice their faith. fortunately, they have, as a symbol of that faith, the dalai lama, a nobel peace prize recipient, a man who touches everybody's conscience. he touches this catholic every time i see him. it goes beyond whatever faith you are. he is a gift to the world, and i am so honored to have been able to introduce him here today. mr. president, i yield the floor and suggest -- mr. reid: no, mr. president, hold that. mr. leahy: mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: with his holiness in the chamber, there are a number of senators who would like to say hello to him, so based on that i ask that the senate go into a quorum call until we -- we'll recess subject to the call of the chair. i ask consent to do that. the presiding officer: without objection, the senate will recess subject to wheat for the senate to resume session we will take you to earlier today to a -- earlier this week a budget briefing with the defense department. >> good afternoon, everybody, thank you for coming. in a moment you will hear from three senior leaders who spent a great deal of time and effort preparing fiscal year 2015 budget and the 2014 quadrennial defense review. undersecretary of defense and comptroller bob hale who you know very well want to remind you at the end of this, mr. hale would like a couple minutes with you after the briefing is over. the deputy undersecretary of defense, christine willmouth and director of structure resources and assessment lieutenant general mark ramsey. following their briefings leaders from the army, navy, air force and missile defense agency will provide further information on their respective elements of the larger budget. >> we will be this briefing and go back live to the senate floor for today's session. up to ten minutes each. with the time equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees with the republicans controlling the first half. mr. reid: i ask unanimous consent following action on s. 1917 the senate proceed to executive session to consider the nominations numbered 504, 513, 640 and 547, that the senate proceed to vote on confirmation of the nominations listed and there be two minutes of debate prior to each vote equally divided in the usual form and the votes be ten minutes in length and the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid on the table without intervening action or debate, that the president be immediately notified of the senate's action and the senate then resume legislative session. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. reid: i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from louisiana. mr. vitter: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i rise to talk about two very important issues for the country, and particularly for the people -- the presiding officer: we are in a quorum call. mr. vitter: excuse me, mr. president. i ask unanimous consent to end the quorum call. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. vitter: thank you, mr. president. i now rise to talk about two really important issues for the country and for louisiana. flood insurance, fixing the national flood insurance program, getting it right. and the good news is i think we're well on a path to doing that effectively. and veterans medical clinics, including several clinics, two of which are in louisiana that have been held up for completely bureaucratic reasons, aren't moving forward as they need to to serve the veterans in lafayette, in lake charles in louisiana and in about 25 other locations around the country. first of all, flood insurance. mr. president, just a couple of days ago the house passed by a huge margin, over 300 votes, a strong bill to permanently fix the national flood insurance program, those aspects of the so-called biggert-waters act passed over a year ago that are unworkable, that are clearly creating real problems on the ground. this is great news, mr. president, because unless we fix those very real problems, we would have major problems on our hands in the national flood insurance program not just in louisiana, not just in florida, not just in the super storm sandy area, but in every state in the country. every state. it's not a question of if these issues are coming to your state. it's just a question of when and exactly to what extent. now over a year ago we passed the biggert-waters act, and that is an important reauthorization of the national flood insurance program. and it also included reforms, and many of those reforms needed to happen to stabilize the financing of the program. what no one understood adequately then, however, is that those well-intended reforms in practice, in implementation by fema would lead to unsustainable, completely unaffordable rate increases in a significant number of cases. that only began to be understood in the months after the bill was passed as fema started to implement it and as fema came to homeowners, came to state authorities, came to members of congress and began to lay out some of the rates that we would see in certain areas. mr. president, i'm not talking about modest rate increases. we need many modest rate increases to stabilize the financing of the program. i'm talking about completely unaffordable rate increases in some cases. flood insurance rates going from $300 a year to $11,000 a year or $19,000 a year or $26,000 a year. on a modest middle-class home, on a middle-class family that followed the rules every step of the way. we can't allow that to stand. first of all, it's fundamentally unfair. as i said, these middle-class families followed the rules every step of the way, built to the right elevation when they built their homes. never let their premiums lapse. never let their insurance lapse. and in that context, for them to be hit with truly unaffordable rate increases, increases that could literally cause them to have to walk away from their home in some significant number of cases, not be able to afford to stay there, that's just plain wrong. secondly, mr. president, it's completely counter productive because one of the ways we stabilize the national flood insurance program fiscally is to grow the program, to have more folks paying premiums, to have more folks covered. not fewer. and so, this aspect of biggert-waters which would lead to truly unaffordable rate increases in a significant number of cases is unworkable from the very vantage point of the goal of biggert-waters to stabilize the system. so we can't let that stand for that reason either. the good news is because of those very real problems, both the senate and now the house have come together in a major bipartisan way to fix the issue. the senate acted about a month ago passing meaningful legislation. i was an original coauthor. i was a strong supporter. as i said a few minutes ago, the house acted two nights ago, mardi gras night in louisiana terms, to take strong action to fix this program. now the house bill is stronger and more significant in several respects. mostly because the reforms in the house bill are permanent. it's not a time-out as the senate bill was. it is a permanent fix that creates a much higher degree of certainty and permanence immediately. also the house bill is fully paid for with a modest premium increase on everybody's premiums. very, very modest, completely affordable to make sure that all of these changes are paid for. because of these aspects of the house bill, because of the permanent nature of the fix, the fact that we create certainty and predictability immediately moving forward for homeowners and for real estate markets, i think it's actually the preferable approach. and so i would urge all of us in the senate to take that bill up at the soonest possible moment. and specifically, i would urge the distinguished majority leader to put that on the floor, to create time on the floor that we can deal with the house bill absolutely as soon as possible. i know there will be some attempt to obtain unanimous consent to pass the house bill immediately. of course i will consent. i'm all for that. but realistically, i don't think that's going to happen on the senate floor. the senate bill had some objectors. the senate bill had some opponents. and so does the house bill. so realistically i would urge the majority leader to create the time on the senate floor to take this up and move through the process absolutely as quickly and as expeditiously as possible. that's the way it's actually going to work, and that's the way it's actually going to happen. and i hope we can do that as early as next week. i would strongly, strongly support our taking this up on the senate floor as early as next week. mr. president, the second napolitano and louisiana issue -- the second national and louisiana issue i want to discuss has to do with veterans and veterans health care which we've been talking about on the senate floor for some time now. specifically, the need to move forward with 27 fully approved, fully authorized v.a. community-based clinics that have been stalled because of bureaucratic problems. now these -- again, these clinics are around the country. two are in louisiana, one in lafayette, one in lake charles. these clinics have been approved by the v.a., have been in their plan for some time. they are fully authorized. we thought they were fully paid for until, first, the v.a. made some bureaucratic mistakes to delay the lake charles and lafayette clinics in particular, and then out of the blue the c.b.o. changed wait they score all of these clinics and all of these issues and created another bureaucratic hurdle. mr. president, again the good news is we came together in a bipartisan way and have a solution to those purely bureaucratic hurdles so that all of these clinics can move forward expeditiously. the house specifically passed a bill that would do that, that would take care of these bureaucratic hurdles. they passed it on the consent calendar by a whopping bipartisan margin. and so i come to the floor, mr. president, urging all of us to do the same. specifically, i have an amendment to the bill that also makes it even more fiscally sustainable by having a pay-for for any conceivable cost to this bill, and that is what my amendment would do. now, this
