Bank failures: Anger in Congress, but division on what to do
"Members of Congress are still grappling with the potential legislative response to the abrupt failure of two U.S. banks. Lawmakers are questioning what went wrong that led to Silicon Valley bank and signature bank to collapse. Nerves are certainly frayed at this moment. Senator Ron wyden chairing a hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill. Scheduled to talk about the debt ceiling, but it included the bank meltdowns. Virginia senator Mark Warner, where was the bank management? Where was the regulators, both state and federal President Biden has called on Congress to strengthen the rules for banks imposed after the 2008 meltdown. Some of which were lifted during the Trump administration. But Republicans in Congress say laws are already in place, but regulators didn't do their job. I'm Jackie Quinn

"Us this morning. Treasury secretary Janet Yellen says the U.S. banking system is sound and she defended the administration's response to recent bank failures as she testified before a Senate panel this week. Importantly, no taxpayer money is being used or put at risk with this action. WTO Capitol Hill correspondent Mitchell Miller joined Sean and Hillary with more about Yellen's congressional appearance. She was peppered with questions from both Republicans and Democrats on the Senate finance committee and while everyone agrees that the banks were poorly managed over their financial holdings, lawmakers are still questioning why regulators didn't see this coming. And Oklahoma Republican James lankford says he worries that people are now leaving smaller community banks. It is happening because the are concerned about the bank failures that have happened. It's happening because you're fully insured no matter what the amount is, if you're in a big bank, you're not fully insured if you're in a community bank. Now some Democrats are proposing new legislation with tighter regulations, but right now it doesn't appear there's enough bipartisan support. Mitch Yellen got a lot of tough questions from Republicans, but Virginia democratic senator Mark Warner did raise an interesting issue, and it involved how quickly billions of dollars were pulled from Silicon Valley bank. That's right, senator Warner says this appears to be the first social media Internet based bank run. He points out that what was previously the largest bank failure in U.S. history involving Washington mutual more than a decade ago took nearly ten days for close to $16 billion to be withdrawn in a run on that bank. In this run, it only took a single day to have more than $40 billion withdrawn, and he says that was fueled by social media, something he says lawmakers and regulators now need to consider. This hearing was originally held to take a look at the president's proposed budget. What was the give and take on that? Republican after Republican blasted the president's plan, Louisiana Republican senator Bill Cassidy noted that despite a lot of new taxes, the budget does not do anything to assure up the social security trust fund, which could fail to have enough money to make scheduled payments in a little more than a decade. Where is his plan? He stands ready to work with vessel law. Risk. Because when a bipartisan group of senators has repeatedly requested to meet with him about social, we have not heard anything on our request. So a tough day for the treasury secretary, the next question ahead is for the fed, will it raise interest rates in light of these bank failures and just like those marriage madness results, you need to stay tuned.

HSBC will buy UK subsidiary of collapsed Silicon Valley Bank
"U.S. regulators say there will not be a bailout, but they're moving to help depositors after the collapse of Silicon Valley bank and New York based signature bank. In an effort to shore up confidence in the U.S. banking system, the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and FDIC announced that depositors with both Silicon Valley bank and New York based signature bank will be able to access their money today, and that an emergency lending program will allow banks that need cash to borrow the money from the Central Bank instead of selling off securities. On ABC News this week with George Stephanopoulos, Senate banking committee member Mark Warner, was asked if he regrets voting to loosen some of the banking restrictions imposed after the 2008 financial industry meltdown. We'll have time to look back on what the regulators did and didn't do. And why the bank management didn't get this right? President Biden says he'll address the bank situation this morning, and that he is firmly committed to holding those responsible for the mess fully accountable. I'm Jennifer King

"Good morning and thanks for joining us. I'm more clueless, with the top local stories we're following this hour. Virginia, at this hour, making its final pitch to land the new FBI headquarters in Springfield. A delegation of state officials are meeting with the general services administration on why Springfield is the best location versus the other finalists. Green belt or landover in Maryland. Earlier on WTO, Virginia U.S. senator Mark Warner explained why, in his view, Springfield is the best option. What Maryland is trying to do is because the top criteria is what's in the best interest of the FBI, which would make sense if you're one of the thousands of FBI employees who would work at this headquarters. And why it's in the best interest of the FBI is Quantico, the training station is a few miles away. The FBI storage facilities in Springfield and the FBI interacts with the balance of the intelligence community. I'm the chairman of the intelligence committee. All of those headquarters are much, much closer to the Springfield site than the Maryland site. Marilyn leaders made their final pitch yesterday with several members of that delegation, claiming that the green belt and land over locations would be at least a $1 billion cheaper. Senator Warner disputed that claim. The U.S. Senate, voting 81 to 14 to block D.C.'s new criminal code revisions. It's the first time in more than 30 years of home rule that lawmakers have stepped in to block the D.C. council. WTO's Mitchell Miller, with more from Capitol Hill. Republicans, including North Carolina, senator Tom tillis are critical of the new criminal code, pointing out that penalties would be lighter for carjacking, even though it happens to people every day. The D.C. said council was blind to crime happening right in front of them right outside their front door. But Maryland democratic senator Chris van hollen, a supporter of home rule, pointed out that the code also includes increasing penalties for some crimes. Federal assault on a police officer. They raised it from the current max ten to 14 years. Still dozens of other Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the disapproval resolution, and President Biden has said he won't stand in its way with a veto. On Capitol Hill, Mitchell Miller WTO. The big rehabilitation project of the George Washington Parkway between spout run and four 95 will soon move into its next phase. You may have noticed the speed

"York City who's gen Tucker. Thanks. Tensions between the U.S. and China continue to heat up. Now the head of the Senate intelligence committee, Mark Warner, will introduce a bipartisan bill, allowing the U.S. to ban Chinese technology, including TikTok. In addition to that Bill, The White House closing in on an executive order to ban U.S. investment in parts of the Chinese economy. Former Maryland governor Larry Hogan says he will not run for president. Let's get this story in this report from Bloomberg's Ed Baxter. Hogan says a full field will be very bad for the party and the country. Hogan on CBS has heard here on Bloomberg says the party needs to focus on traditional Republican values now. Without causing being part of a train wreck that might repeat history and just allow us to nominate Donald Trump as our nominee because I think that would be bad for the party and bad for the country. Now Trump prevailed in 2016 with about 30% of the vote in the party with the field widely split about where things looked to stand now. In San Francisco, I met Baxter Bloomberg radio and former president Trump is setting the stage for his 2024 campaign at the conservative political action conference in Maryland over the weekend. I am your retribution. He says he will stay in the presidential race even if he's indicted in any of the federal and state investigations that he's facing. Now the historic winter for the mountain communities of California showing no signs of slowing down up to 5 feet of snow possible in the Sierra Nevada mountains this week, adding to the 46 feet of snow, the area already received this season. It's kind of debating whether or not to do this one. Dateline, Tallahassee, Florida. Sure. I kind of says it all right. Lincoln. This is a clam believed to be 214 years old, released into the Gulf of Mexico by a gulf, the gulf specimen marine lab there, a local dug up the two central mollusks get Florida's alligator point while collecting shellfish to make chadha. He said the clam is hefty enough to make two servings and has shells large enough to use as bowls to serve it in, instead of eating it though, he turned it over to the scientists, they had 214 layers in the shell of the clam, which would mean it was probably born in 1809, the same year as Abraham Lincoln. I didn't know that. You can count the layers on the tree to age it. Okay. They do that to me at home. I would have eaten it, but that's me. With our news John Tucker in for Michael Barr, this morning, Paul Apple, I mean, it's up 21% off the 2003 bottom. I'm going to call it January bottom, if you will. More off October, but you know, what do you do with Apple at $4? Goldman Sachs is bye bye bye. I mean, I guess it's the power side. Did we not know this Friday? We did. I think what's interesting here is Goldman this is the third analyst that's covered it in the last 6 years. So this one initiates coverage with a buy rating, the prior two analysts at Goldman were more on the sidelines here. So now you've got the Salesforce that Goldman Sachs globally making those phone calls that they haven't made in 6 years. So there's maybe some folks out there that say, okay, this makes some sense to me. So you talk to the bulls out there that the Dan Ives at what Bush securities the on Iraq run is at Bloomberg intelligence and for them, it's not so much gee, what's the new product? New phone refresh coming on. They're just saying, it's the ecosystem. And you see that in their services and subscription revenue that just keeps growing double digit. And by the way, that's all free cash flow. And that's what I'm terrible. I mean, I think how many like 12 times are we supposed to get out of Apple? Right. Larry hagerty with tears in his on the sidewalk of 58. Laughing at me because everybody was get out, get up. This is like ten years ago folks. Speaking of ten years ago, Apple, up 27.1% per year. I don't know, not to be a fanboy about it, but you know, the glue on apple is like set a clock. It is exactly. So this is, you know, I love the comp function that's met Miller's favorite. And it just shows you kind of relative to the S&P relative to maybe the more techie indices apples to play. I mean, it has been. And I don't know what get you off that bandwagon. Let's go now. We got a special guest with us in the next section. You have to stay around. It's extremely important. Gallup 64 points. Some of that on Apple. Stay with us. This is Bloomberg. Hey

All right, Steve, thank you. Meanwhile, this weekend, the national People's Congress kicked off in China, president Xi Jinping vowed to boost high end manufacturing in the face of U.S. pressure, Beijing also set an economic growth target of around 5% for the year after missing its GDP goal last year by a wide margin. Back here in the U.S., Karen investors are going to be monitoring fed chair Jay Powell's testimony before the Senate tomorrow. TD securities head of global rate strategy period mizra says, after this month's expected increase, the fed's rate hike path could extend longer than the market is pricing in.

Priya mizra TD security says she expects the fed to engineer a hard landing.

Karen, we'll have more on the markets in just a minute, but first we could see more tension between the U.S. and China coming out of Capitol Hill this week. The head of the Senate intelligence committee Mark Warner says he will introduce a bipartisan bill that would allow the U.S. to systematically ban Chinese technology, Warner says that includes TikTok. They are taking data from Americans, not keeping it safe, but what worries me more with TikTok is that this can be a propaganda tool. Senator Warner made the comments on Fox News Sunday. He says China presents a bigger threat to the U.S. than the Soviet Union. Well, Nathan, the TikTok news comes as The White House closes in on an executive order banning U.S. investment in parts of the Chinese economy and we get the latest live with Bloomberg Steve rappaport, good morning Steve. Good morning, Karen and Nathan, the restrictions target investments in projects that can be used in China's military applications, including AI and code breaking technologies that according to sources who say The White House submitted two reports to Congress on Friday, outlining the cost to set up a so called outbound investment program with the Treasury Department. Those reports obtained by Bloomberg indicate President Biden is prepared to request funding for the effort this week in his fiscal 2024 budget, live in New York, I'm Steve rappaport, Bloomberg, daybreak. Steve, thanks, meantime China is setting out a modest economic growth target from its national People's Congress of around 5% for this year. Beijing's leaders are avoiding any form of large stimulus. Bloomberg's Jill desus in Hong Kong says it's a conservative target. Somewhere around 5% gives Beijing quite a lot of room to work with, but they also want to overstimulate the economy. They kind of want to keep things on track. And ultimately, I think what Beijing is looking for this year is economic growth that's really going to be driven by a rebound in demand. Bloomberg still decent says Chinese premier Lee ko Chang hinted Beijing would support housing, but would also regulate the sector more tightly. Well, back here in the U.S., Nathan, we're learning more about the presidential field for 2024, former Maryland governor Larry Hogan says he will not seek The White House and Bloomberg said Baxter has that story. Hogan says a full field will be very bad for the party and the country. Hogan on CBS has heard here on Bloomberg says the party needs to focus on traditional Republican values now. Without causing being part of a train wreck that might repeat history and just allow us to nominate Donald Trump as our nominee because I think that would be bad for the party and bad for the country.

Thank you, Ed turning to the economy. It's a big week for U.S. investors. It all starts with fed chair Jay Powell testifying before the Senate tomorrow. We get more from Bloomberg markets reporter Valerie keitel. It's going to be his last remarks before the next meeting on March 22nd. And markets are going to be paying very close attention to if he keeps using this word disinflation. We haven't heard from him since the last CPI report that showed that this disinflation, especially when it comes to the goods, the good section of inflation is slowing. Does he perhaps change his changes posture change his tone? Does he maybe not use that word? Also, any hints on his view of the recent string of strong data. Does he cast it maybe as a one off down to seasonals being readjusted in the new year? Bloomberg's Valerie keitel says after Powell, attention turns to Friday with the release of February's jobs report. In Europe today, Nathan shares a Credit Suisse or down more than 1%. The troubled Swiss bank has lost support for a moment of its biggest backers, Paris associates has sold its entire stake in Credit Suisse. The investment firm's chief investment officer, David harrow, is questioning the future of the lender, those comments follow an interview harrow did with Bloomberg slash August, where he issued this morning to the Swiss bank. You can't keep doing the same thing as they've been doing over the last decade and get zero results. They have to put an end to it. At some point, they either have to fix it or to look for other options. And that was Harris associates, chief investment officer David harrow, speaking to Bloomberg in August, Harris was the biggest shareholder and Credit Suisse for many years the firm have at stake last year and is now reportedly exited entirely. One other bank news out of Europe today, Karen, we're learning UBS cut employee bonuses by 10% last year. The move follows a slump at UBS in advising on mergers and stock and bond issuance.

How Should the President Respond to China?
"And so the chai comes are trying to figure out our response action. If the Japanese imperial navy in 1941 had done an exercise to run a carrier group close to Hawaii to figure out whether or not we'd noticed them, I think that would be the analog or Hitler eating up the sudetenland, followed by Czechoslovakia, testing whether or not appeasement was the soup du jour and the first reaction was, my gosh, we let it go anywhere. So now we're overreacting, but maybe not. I don't want these balloons with Volkswagen sized radar arrays floating over our country. Yeah, I think I don't think anybody does.

The Plan for Big Tech Accountability
"Now, in terms of getting cooperation on the espionage side, you've got to get the executives from meta the executives from Google, the executives from all of the large social media companies in to talk to you about TikTok and other issues, including penetration of their own organization by agents of the Chinese Communist Party. Duke anticipate anticipation from big tech on this committee. Well, I'm sure some big tech executives are not eager to talk to the committee. But the approach I'm taking now is one of, okay, I want to give you an opportunity to explain your position. I come in with certain preexisting biases. If you want to make a counter argument, that's fine, but we're going to do it out in the open for the American people to see. And if he refused to comply with that discussion and my honest desire to have that discussion, I think ultimately that's going to be a bad look for your company. And I think you're going to get you're going to invite more scrutiny from Congress than there already is. The fact is, big tech has to confront the growing suspicion about their allegiances, the growing suspicion about their practices, the perception that there's a complete lack of transparency and it's not just my committee that would have an interest in that. It's going to be Jim Jordan's committee that has an interest in that, particularly when it comes to the perceived collusion between certain big tech companies and the Biden administration. So they ignore those questions. They ignore our request to testify at their own peril. And just look at what's happened in TikTok over the two TikTok in the last two months. There's been a sea change in Congress in terms of recognizing the threat posed by TikTok. We had an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote in favor of banning TikTok on government devices. I have a bill for the broader ban that has democratic support. Mark Warner is talking about the threat posed by TikTok in the Senate show. If you hesitate, if you prevaricate, you're going to invite more congressional scrutiny and opposition. So I hope that that doesn't happen. I also want to give an opportunity for the tech companies that are out there that I know have a more patriotic view right now or at least still think of themselves as American companies and recognize how essential they are to us winning this long-term competition with China. I want to give them an opportunity to talk about how we win, right? We can not win this unless we have American companies that are out innovating their Chinese counterparts and indeed think of themselves as Americans. So I think I don't think we'll have any problems getting big tech to comply. If they do, it's just going to be very problematic for them.

"Now Mark Warner went on TV And smeared you And said that you're just doing this to obstruct this and that there's protections built into this law And you certainly didn't have an opportunity to respond to that Would you like to Yeah so it was unfortunate He's apologizing to stand and I appreciate his apology It is important that we speak with clarity when speaking with others He went on there and in response to a question from Shannon bremont Fox News Sunday who asked him you know what about Mike Lee's amendment Don't you think that's necessary And he went on to say well Mike Lee first of all Mike Lee is a Mormon And the Mormon church supports this bill without the amendment making it sound like my church spoke for me and making it sound like my church was against my amendment which wasn't true Yeah but by the way and Romney sounded the same way just for the record but go right ahead Right Which is which is also unfortunate but anytime somebody mischaracterizes somebody else's church or their own church it's unfortunate and many compounded the error by saying look here's the deal Mike Lee had a chance to pass this amendment at a simple majority threshold in the Senate which wasn't true We finally voted on it today This was ten days ago or so He was claiming that I had already had a chance to get it passed 51 vote threshold which wasn't true And made it sound like that coupled with my church's position on it meant that the only reason I could be doing this was to engage engage in bad faith delay tactics This is the cheap sleazy move to characterize somebody else's church somebody else's religion is speaking for them and then saying that you couldn't possibly have a good faith legislative objective in trying to create this religious protection

What are responsibility is, is to assess whether there's been damage done to our intelligence collection and maintenance of secrets. That is on a damage assessment that frankly, even the judge in Florida has said, can continue. That federal judge in Florida has ordered the appointment of a special master to examine the documents to determine whether any are covered by executive privilege or attorney client privilege.

with Democrats and passing a massive infrastructure Bill is setting off bloodletting within the GOP caucus Have you seen one Republicans in this horror story in the media No No I mean in Kevin McCarthy's defense though I think he was down at Mar-a-Lago greased up down on all fours with a leash around him with Trump's spanking him and telling him what to vote on and what to do So he was kind of busy at the time Marjorie Taylor are you supposed to say that Sorry Marjorie Taylor green called it communism at Kate said socialism the Republicans just gave Democrats their socialism Bill Madison Cawthorn said vote for this infrastructure Bill a primary the hell out of you McCarthy had just predicted the vote would fail last week Oh Trump has blasted McConnell over the infrastructure Bill fight fight fight You're all awful Big bag of rats Fighting You're all equal There are communist socialists lamo fashion Like every word they can use I just sort of throw out there Trump saying how

It may not look like that after it's negotiated as of now. It doesn't look like though actually meet that deadline but that's kind of the ambitious goal that they're working toward okay. So that's this wednesday. The next deadline is september. Twenty seventh and that has to do with infrastructure. Not the budget right. Yes the that is the deadline. That house speaker. Nancy pelosi had promised centrists that they would have a vote on the one point. Two trillion. Bipartisan infrastructure.

"Back. John mccain warned years ago that cyber would be the key new battlefield of the twenty first century turns out he was very right on this one. The panelists next welcome back the panel is with us in gear and white house correspondent for the washington post former hardball anchor and msnbc. Chris matthews he's author of a new book. This country my life and politics and history. Kimberly atkins store senior opinion writer for the boston. Globe and lonnie chen fellow at stanford university's hoover institution and. I want to start with what i found interesting from both warner and blunt. Which is they both seem to separate a bit more from putin versus what we're dealing with with cyber just as the white house seemed to be telling indicating they're ready to actually hold putin more accountable. Where is the biden white house on this. They want to treat. This is putin problem or as a criminal problem. You know. we've really seen an evolution in the way. The government writ large is approaching the the ransomware and cyber hacking problems together. And i think from the white house perspective right now but they are trying to do a little bit of the same thing that both senators were doing there and talk about this as a problem. That is You know larger than one country and An and one individual national security relationship between the united states and russia while at the same time making very clear that president biden plans to raise Ransomware specifically and other kinds of of cyber criminal activity that is housed in russia with hooton. When they meet in geneva what they have not said is exactly how threatening the president plans to be or whether he will walk into that meeting saying we are going to do x y and z. If you don't cut this out in a launch. And i know you were at the hoover institution. You've got a lot of people you walk the halls with that. It's been a lot of time in the defense department and in the state department and understand these issues here. Is there an effective tool against putin right now. In our in our toolbox that number one wouldn't punish russian citizens would actually could curtail putin's behavior. Yeah i think it's very difficult to draw that distinction. I do think there's a few factors your first of all we can go after some of the infrastructure that facilitates This criminal activity in russia. And that would be targeted. That's something that our cyber command is capable of now. Obviously that runs into some international issues as it violated national norms existing international rules. We'd have to get into that. But fundamentally we have the capacity to disrupt some of this behavior. I think on putin it is important for us to continue to send a strong signal by the way the sanctions that were put in place by this administration and the previous administration. Those are working. They are starting to take a bite of long term economic growth in russia. So that's the right course. We have to continue that regime. That sanctions regime is very important. But i do think it's important for the president as well to send a very strong signal to putin that to the extent that he understands the security is going on which i think he certainly does. The united states will not tolerate it and will continue to put pressure on the russian economy up to and including additional sanctions on the central bank as well as on elements of putin's government. Kimberly this feels like what are these here. We have this national security challenge. That's one of these challenges that actually impacts our data suddenly is starting to impact day to day lives. And equated it if you live in a city and there's a crimewave you go to the mayor and the police commissioner. You're like you do something about this. And that sort of was my feeling like ok. Guys do something about this but i get a sense that everybody is looking for the handcuffs. Not the solution. I think that is right. And i think we are here in part because of that tension that you talked about with both senators before this idea that holding companies not just companies that provide essential services and goods to america a private companies who are in charge of parts of critical infrastructure This idea that we don't want to force them to do too much because that could hurt business. With great power comes great responsibility and there needs to be a requirement that companies shore up their cybersecurity and the government needs to give them both help but also impose requirements on them in order to do that while shoring up the federal government. You can do both at the same time we see. How critical that need is chris. I know you've been doing some reporting on this What does what does it affect response. Look like from the united states against the russians. Well first of all we have to play offensive defense and the government's role was offense because only a government. Our government under our system is allowed to counterattack to take any kind of forceful action against moscow. And it's been it's ransomware allies in this case but here at home it's going to be a lot like covert are kobe response. We have to use private public and private and clearly what we have to do as we did. After nine eleven which was to build a good defense system we upgraded our air traffic control systems after nine eleven and keep track of airplanes. That might be hijacked. We window anybody off course. In this case we have that business work together to put the dots on the screen like an air traffic controller screen. Where is their people. Ransomware people trying to get at our our companies where they tried to hold us up. You got to report it in real time in many ways. That's like a police case. We've got a kidnapping and progress and you have to know when it's happening when it's happening and you have to go to the police so i think it's a it's a combination of a warning the russians but you know i keep looking at that guy putin chuck and i look them in the eyes when you put up. Show picture them and he says nonsense. And i say we can't read that guy like we read normal human beings. This guy is a kgb officer. He and by grew up in the cold war. They know what this game's about interesting other forces like the russians just use countries wars of national liberation. Where they're giving them all the guns to fight us. We're distracted by them whether they're pretending a little bit. I look at that size of putin. And when i look into his eyes i see the cold war coming back as a cyber war and garin. It comes back to what posture do. They want. americans to view. Joe biden at a as having when confronts putin i mean do they wanna see be seen as aggressively confronting putin and do they have an idea what that looks like. Well the answer to the first is yes. They do want They the the white house does want to position. The president For a a pretty forceful interaction with putin or they wouldn't be having the summit now th th this was. This was a choice and and biden invited putin to do it so i mean they. He is saying very affirmatively here that he wants to talk to putin about a range of of things which are in almost all cases problems from In the us view So going to be a pleasant meeting. I think but you know the the the question very specifically on on cyber is a really difficult one because these are not russian government agents there are people who live in russia and our on to a degree under russian protection. Well i remember safe. Harbors and afghanistan yemen. All of those things back right after nine. Eleven wonder if we're going to hear hearing conversations like that In the next few weeks and months. I'm gonna pause right.

"And i'm glad this is getting the attention this now finally get. It took gasoline and beef. Well that's right when it. This is really a serious when it hits it hits people at home and i think this is one of those things it feels like a crimewave and you guys are supposed to keep us safe right. You're our elected officials. You guys got to keep us safe. So i guess i wanna push back on this idea that you can't hold business to a standard that the government can't meet. Well why can't everybody being mandated to meet the standard. I understand what you're saying about the government but the two thousand twelve cybersecurity bill. One of the reasons that didn't pass is because there was this debate. You were asking too much of private private sector. That was one of the reasons. You are not ready to support it then. Shouldn't we be asking american business to do more. I don't remember the twenty twelve cybersecurity. Bill i do remember out that same time senator carper and i were actually leading the effort to try to have reporting as part of the requirement And you know there are a lot of pushback. Nobody wanted to report that they had been hacked That was a fight. We've been having now for almost a decade And the only way you can begin to get on top of this is to know how pervasive the problem is. Try to develop a pattern This crypto currency Not not. Allow that to be just in behind the scenes in the entire system. We have a lot of cash requirements in our country. But we haven't figured out in the country or in the world and how to trace crypto currency so one fairly easy to do people almost always pay the ransom. They're very few consequences and you can't trace the the ransom where the ransom payment of choice now and we've got to do a better job here. Vladimir putin scoffed at the charges that somehow he was behind these attacks and then he went on to say something else over the weekend that was quite disturbing. He essentially praised the january six insurrectionist or seem to say that it was nothing but a political dispute. Considering that putin is now picking up on this as a way to divide this nation does. Does that make you reconsider your opposition to january six commission. Because i i know your argument against it right now you think. There's some bipartisan action. Happening i get that but you know we need as credible as of a review as we can to get on the same page as a country with facts. Don't you see the january six is doing. The commission is doing. You know my my my point from not just last month but from the very moment this Commission idea came up. I never said you know. I'd be for it. If it was more bipartisan. It was very non by partisan in the first proposed line ever said that what i said was. I think we know what we need to do here. And a commission in my view An immediate commission would slow us up in say well. We need to wait until we know all the facts. We need to wait for the commission. We will come out with a bipartisan to committee. Report Next week the rules committee. That i was the chairman of now. The ranking member. Senator are an eye on that committee. Senator portman and senator repeaters on the other committee. We're gonna have a pretty extensive report on what happened over. One hundred page report With a significant number of recommendations in my view all of which could be put in place immediately And my sense was more important to act and get into what we know we need to do than to get In a position where we start waiting for a commission To come forth with the report that we think are going to be happy. I think it'd be really pleased with the report you see and we'll see where we need to go next after that reports out. Well i wanna talk but i. I don't know if you report is going to deal with. The root causes right root causes. You have the leader of your party and whether you whether everybody wants to acknowledge the former president is the leader of the republican party right now or not. He seems to be the the biggest Biggest fish in this conned. Now he's at as chief of staff was pushing the idea that used military satellites to somehow rigged the election and he keeps doing this in did it last night. In north carolina you're part of this group of republicans that has stated that you don't believe in that nonsense but you don't you don't really push back at the president for spreading these falsehoods. So much are you not do. Do you feel you're not doing enough. I mean one in four people in your party believe this delusional things. Are you concerned about this well. Unconcerned were losing faith in the election system. I do think it's important. Have a bipartisan belief. That the election system Does what it's supposed to do that. The results that are the results of election. Day or what absolutely happened in. I served for eight years. The chief election official in my state. I was pleased to see a senator mansion. Have the same view that we need to move forward on election reforms in a bipartisan way. i look forward to being a part of that. We'll see what happens with the john. Lewis voting rights act and other issues. I think we can deal with and deal with in a way. That's less partisan than trying to create political advantage for either side. Do you think the president believes this stuff or is exploiting a chunk of your party into convincing them to believe it you.

Lawmakers say COVID-19 relief bill won't offer $1,200 checks
"What we're hearing is far as a relief bill goes, is that there's optimism amongst senators. You saw some of them out yesterday, Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia was out talking about how it appeared is, though, um lawmakers will be able to put forward a proposal is earliest today for another coronavirus stimulus package, saying the details about the piece of legislation could be worked out as early as this morning so that they would have everything finalized. Ready to go. What the legislation out there and begin the process of seeing if they get support for it from other senators, which we're hearing in some cases like Bernie Sanders, he is not in support of this $908 billion packages out there, mainly because There's no inclusion of any sort of stimulus check going out there. Yes, there's unemployment insurance will pay $300 a week for a period of four months. Yes, there are elements to the P p p portion of things, but There is no individual stimulus check in there, and that's a little tough when you're trying to call this the stimulus package that would make this just a relief package for the most part, so the discussion seemingly ongoing here, but they think they've got the top line numbers. Now they're getting the language finalized, and they should have. This thing is early as today on some level and again. This is a short of a four month emergency relief package. So there will be more discussions having to be had

Joe and what democrats are doing right now is trying to make the christmas season a little bit more mary. For unemployed workers there is interest on both sides of the aisle in breaking this logjam on capitol hill surrounding neta virus. Relief package and today more than thirty democrats are getting behind a new push to extend expiring unemployment benefits for twelve million workers before they go away at the end of the year. Virginia senator mark warner is leading this effort with a letter to the leadership of both parties. That says letting these payments lapsed during the holiday season would be cruel and that it would hit the services sector and the art especially hard. The letter says these workers are all facing job loss. It has nothing to do with their skills abilities or performance now there have been some preliminary conversations in the senate on bipartisan measures. That might be able to pass alongside the government funding bill next week and so this letter is just one indication. Democrats appear to be coalescing around the problem of what they're calling the benefits cliff also today senators ron wyden and sherrod brown the top democrats on the finance and banking committees as well as colorado senator michael bennet. They're unveiling bill that would extend these expiring provisions and it would also reinstate that six hundred dollars in enhanced unemployment benefits that has been more controversial and has been one of the sticking points in these broader negotiations surprise. This could be a sign that democrats might be willing to accept something smaller than that to you. Trillion dollar deal
