[inaudible] >> i would like to commend senator grassley. senator grassley, was an inspiration to me when i was in north carolina. and senator grassley has been there for whistleblowers and they are on the false claims act. it was his leadership on the federal false claims act that inspired me too help draft and past estate. claims act in my home state of north carolina. it also like to recognize and command center wide and. satterwhite has been incredible advocate for whistleblowers. in particular in the intelligence community he is but one of america's greatest champions for privacy and civil liberties and for and finally most importantly want to recognize the whistleblowers here and across america. without whistleblowers they thatcould not be any whistleblor appreciation day. ton to me you are all wishful erosive. now, to the call for action first i urge both houses of congress to permanently pass legislation recognizing whistleblower appreciation day forever more. [applause] second, as steve noted, osc started acting by requiring all age

grassley: mr. chairman, welcome to our expert witnesses. our last hearing was with cbo director fuego. he was welcome. a very welcoming event at this committee. and unfortunately a rare opportunity for this committee to focus on critical broken budget process. it gives us a chance to talk to somebody that knows that that pr. and a primary responsibility of this committee. in exchange for holding a cbo hearing at my request, i agreed to senator graham working with chairman whitehouse to put together today's hearing. we will be discussing electric vehicles and barriers to the electrification of america's light-duty fleet. the biden/harris administration 's unobtainable goal of 50% new ev sales by 2030 has been on full display over the last four years. from the imposing, expensive epa regulations to doing -- doling out billions in ev subsidies for the rich, the economic detriment to the ev policy, to america's ev policy, is quite evident. now, i don't want to give the wrong impression. ev technology is impressive and works well for some. but i

in 2020 she lead a team and examined issues with the aviation aircraft process that senator grassley referred to. they secretly obtained highly desirable registration numbers. ms. shea worked there for 25 years and holds a doctorate in sociology. hannah is the government affairs director at the corporate transparency coalition. before joining to coalition she worked with u.s. based nonprofits to advance accountability and rule of law in the middle east. her work targeted the network that fueled mass human rights violation and counter terrifying measures and prevent the diverse and abuse of humanitarian aid. i appreciate you being here. please proceed. i'd like to recognize that senator hassen has joined us. >> chairman, white house, cochair grassley. thank you for the opportunity to be here to distouses the transparency act and the pay structures for transnational criminal activity and threaten u.s. national security. no financial tool aided the cartels and enemies more than a shell company. it's the gold standard of secrecy. over national borders without risk that have identified. i

thank ranking member grassley for his blessing of this effort. today's a bipartisan hearing looks at transitioning away from fossil fuel in my view an economic national security and imperative. in a way that effectively sees opportunities and addresses challenges. the auto industry is a major economic while as senator stabenow was here will be the first to argue. 2023 the global auto market was valued at $4 trillion. u.s. accounted for a bit less than 17 cents. two u.s. automakers ford and gm are among the world's five largest automakers. foreign companies operate assembly plants in the u.s. senator graham is attentive to the bmw plant that opens and hope his hometown state will never go to the security conference keep building in south carolina. motor vehicles and parts america's second largest export could increase to over $6 trillion by 2031. we went to be a part of that action. to grow u.s. auto workers share of this growing pie we need to understand and respond to this global market. so, here's where we are globally 20% of vehicles sold in 2

i was one stab rather than that, i just asked them to execute the instructions that senator grassley provided in the letter. you go into executive session with the finance committee and you get approval to get filed and i r s. however, why don't we establish thought he might go to jail since the information was confidential and the rest just lacked interest so that that letter was never acted on. i gotta tell you the, the wrong what whistle blow is pretty much right. even after the passage of the i r s. legislation. yeah o w legislation. i wish the boys get treated lights done to the picnic and that the truth after the iris appear to just dismiss you in 2013, you sought to bring claims. first, on behalf of new york state and then in 2016 on behalf of new york city. this was a complex accusation of tax fraud. but the new york appellate court without permitting any discovery or the introduction of expert testimony just threw the case out. and we're talking about $75000000.00 of the tax payer's money. what exactly happened there? the court of which you speak the 1st department of new yo

the program was more about things changed a bit after the 2004 testimony before senator grassley. i'm the one less a bar i actually manage to get a formal referral to the irish i r. s. agents discussed above. however, when i met with them, i did not send any excitement about a large case against major institutions. i will never forget showing some documents to one agent who made a joke in reference to another wall street transaction that closed in the cayman islands. and later on, that agent basically started screeching. that means that i had no evidence of fraud either in the cayman islands example or my transaction. after the meeting, the agents just sent me a rejection letters i discussed above. and i want to call the agent as why did you just give me a former direction? they said they needed more information. i provided to them random a year they passed the all the w legislation and uh, i called up, i was told that there was no, but uh, no reward. why as newly instead of had to be opposite muscle bl. busy what happened uh uh you said, well, the denial was well reason which i c

and senator grassley says the secret service still hasn't met with the county swat team.uart kaplan is a former fbi special agent. you've had some time to process this. i don't believe you and i have discussed this. what is your got tell you happened here? >> good evening. there's no doubt when you watch this latest video that was just released the chaotic scene played out is clearly indicative pack clearly evident the prior to the commencement of the rally there was no operational meeting prior to the commencement of this rally. why do i know that is because 3 minutes before the actual shooting there was a target or subject meaning crookes was identified on this rooftop. at that point if there was an operational meeting the local police department would have been aware and they would have been told the secret service has counter snipers. if you identify a potential threat which would require utilization of that asset, counter sniper had 3 mats prior to the first shot being shot, that counter sniper would have acquired that target and neutralized incapacitated crooks 3 mi

this sign-in sheet to the range a day before the rally senator chuck grassley released obtained theseecords and says 80% of crooks visits were spent on rifle practice. according to investigators crooks fired at least eight rounds from the roof of the agr building before he was killed and droves body camera video released this week one clip shows what appears to be a person on the roof of the agr building at 6:08 p.m. and unclear whether the officer notices but fbi previously said crooks was spotted at this exact time and the same spot. other videos show the frantic search by local law enforcement for the would be assassin and the frustration with the secret service and the immediate aftermath. >> i would say this is a -- [inaudible conversations] >> somebody -- >> why are we not on the roof? >> need to go somewhere -- >> why weren't we? >> i told them they need to post the guys over here. i told them -- the secret service. i told them that on tuesday. i told them code over here. >> what? >> i thought on the roof? >> no. we're inside. >> bravo one.

. >> i'll republican senator chuck grassley is now demanding answers paid right into secret service actingirector ronald rowe "were you aware of this body camera footage before july 30 of congressional testimony? if not, why not? rashly adding precisely answer with the statement for the butler township officer is an accurate representation of events? grassley's six page letter he also asked to be provided with information on whether any federal law enforcement personnel at the event saw a person on the roof prior to thomas matthew kirks opening fire. that newest body camera video from local officers show the efforts that were made to track down the gunman who was first identified as a suspicious person. at 6:08 p.m. at butler township officer's body camera appears what to be the person on the roof of the agr building is not clear whether the officer notices. other local officers tried to close in on crooks. when one of them is hoisted to the roof he dropped back down after seeing crooks weapon. the officer then radioed about crooks firearm. the message never made it to the secret service a

grassley: i think you have answer my question. in your written testimony, you stated you requested information was passed to congress and the public sooner and with greater frequency. what is your communication plan going forward to ensure the american people and congress are fully informed? mr. rowe: we started a rolling production that is bicameral, so we made our first rolling production last week. we made one yesterday. we will continue to do that. my view is that sunshine is the best disinfectant. we intend to provide information to congress as carries out its oversight function. sen. grassley: i made public documents that show secret service deployed a counter, unmanned aerial system operator on july 13, according to the secret service. the drone system was supposed to be operational at 3:00 p.m. that day. however, we have been told by secret service because of cellular band with it was not operational until about 5:20 that day. if the system was operational, secret service would have had the ability to detect the shooter an

grassley also wrote that he wants to be given any information on whether any federal law enforcement shooting. body camera video from local officers and did capture what appears to be someone on the roof and that minutes at leading up to the gunfire we take a look you can see here at 6:08 p.m. what appears to be a person off in the distance on the agr building. it is unclear whether the officer sees or notices. about 30 seconds before the shooting another officer made eyes on the gun went after being hoisted to the roof but he dropped back down after seeing kirk's weapon. the shooting started moments later. the officer's radio message about quirks of firearm never made it to the secret service according to acting director roads congressional testimony. >> this all could have been prevented and a five-minute conversation to articulate the need to take that building out of play from being a threat. and because the shooter was able to access that roof we sought chaos result from it. we saw a lack of coordination. we saw poor communication and we saw a lot of frustration on the part of s

before the shooting and according to records obtained and released by iowa republican senator chuck grassley says this sign in sheet shows crooks did rifle practice the day before the jul. we've also got droves of body camera video released this week. one video from an officer captured what appears to be a person on the roof of the agr building just three minutes before the gunfire and not clear if the officer noticed but crooks was indeed spotted on the roof during the same time frame. another officer on scene was hoisted up to the roof so he could see and dropped back down when he saw crooks was armed and acting director ronald row and this officer communicated over the radio that crooks was armed and rowe said the message never made it to the secret service and immediate aftermath of the shooting and officer saw crooks on the roof describe what had he saw. >> he's got glasses, long hall on the wall. he's got both bags and mags, ars. >> it was a secret service failure and the agency is reviewing the footage. griff. griff: cb cotton live with the latest. alicia. >> handed crooked joe the ec

just last week senator grassley and senator cortez masco musto introduced a bipartisan bill that would require senate confirmation for the director of the secret service. at the call to subject that director to greater oversight after the assassination attempt of president trump. while this bill only applies to one position it is an example of how oversight concern can drive it changes to the nomination process. it's also an illustration of why proposed changes to the nomination process must be carefully and thoughtfully considered. the nomination process must balance the constitutional responsibilities of advice and consent oversight and traditions of the senate with the desires of administration to fill positions quickly. i look forward to today's testimony. thank you madam chair regrets think you ranking member fisher. i will introduce our witnesses to of them and senator fischer will introduce. thank your first witnesses jenny mattingly. vice president for government affairs of the partnership for public service you privilege to serve the office of management and budget and foundin

chuck grassley is saying we had to -- like you're saying, we had to trade spies, criminals and an assassin for innocent americans and kamala is finally talking but take ago victory lap on this too. what do you think? >> well, let's remember. we had to give up and give away an arm's dealer in order to get back a wnba member who was smoking weed or had some sort of pot over in russia. that's our priorities right now and now there's these deals getting cut, where we give away i think 8 people, spies, hackers, et cetera. we don't have the details yet but we need to. literally the day after, we cut a deal, a plea deal with a guy that master mined killing 3,000 americans. this is a very clear signal from the administration and no interest in actually standing up for our nation but importantly western civilization against radical islamic terrorism and wants to undermine the security and stand up and make sure we send a strong signal abroad. this is more of the same. it's the same thing that leaves open boarders where we have massive number of terrible resistances coming into our own communities a

chuck grassley as really as part of his investigation as homed in on this problem and is really demanding answers from the secret service result and just real quick, do you have details on who's specifically from his detail is being, i guess benched or however you put it, we don't have a name, but we do know it. >> somebody who's involved in the advanced planning of the rally. so it's somebody who was supposed to be anticipating these various issues making i'm sure everybody was on the same page and clearly that did not happen. >> really interesting right? jonathan wackrow, your reaction to all of these new details well, listen, first of all, let's talk about the accountability, right? >> putting supervisory agents who are assigned to the pittsburgh field office and one agent from the trump detail they'll on basically telecommuting into work. so i don't understand what that is. holding people accountable because what we haven't heard is, what did they specifically do wrong where were they responsible for some of this breakdown, right. if there really was accountable, then you would put th

just last week senator grassley and senator cortez masto introduced a bipartisan bill that would require senate confirmation for the director of the secretco service. if you call to subject that director to greater oversight after the assassination attempt of president trump. while this bill only applies to one position it's an example of how oversight concerns can drive changes to the nomination process. it is also an illustration of why propose changes to the nomination process must be carefully and thoughtfully considered. the nomination process of advice and consent andon oversight in traditions of the senate to which desires of the administration to fill positions quickly. i look forward to today's testimony. thank you madam madam chair. send a thank you ranking member fischer i'll introduce her witnesses and senator fishel -- fischer will introduce temperature for the witness is jenny mattingly or simply served as founding director of the white house leadership development program pitcher received her bachelor's degree from whitman college and her masters from gw university. our ne

these new records we just got from senator chuck grassley's office give us a better look at exactly hows kripps was. he visited a local gun range nearly 50 times in just the past year. he was also there 1 day before he tried to kill former president trump you're going to get right to this showing you this new clip on the body cam footage we are going through. you see what appears to be a person up on the rooftop at 6:0. that's the same time police say he climbed up and open fire about 3 minutes later. it's not clear if the officer even spotted because his body cameras on his chest. that's a different view. in the minutes right after the shooting you can hear the cops talking about what went horribly wrong. when officer saying he told the secret service to secure that roof. >> i would say this is a [ bleep ] >> wire we not on the roof? [ inaudible ] >> why weren't week? >> i told them they need to post the guys plea people were here. i told them that [ bleep ]. the secret service. i told them that [ bleep ] tuesday. i told them to put the [ bleep ] guys over here.

the secret service is pushing back against this so senator chuck grassley sent a letter saying who wasctly happened and he has a deadline for a few more days to respond, but the response is simply have not been forthcoming. that's a dangerous thing because when you've got something as contested as this , something as frightening as this , and you've got a secret service and dhs that don't want to talk about it that's dangerous grounds for conspiracy theories and other worries to spread to the public. liz: that's true. we have a new house task force now, investigating the security failures into the assassination attempt on president trump. it's now demanding briefings from attorney general merrick garland, dhs, fbi and secret service. you know, president trump had more to say about what happened. listen to this. >> interest should have been nobody on the roof. now there was a lack of coordination that was obviously everybody understands that somebody that building should have been covered. liz: so, a month later, still no answers. what was the shooter's motive? why did the secret servic

. >> new records obtained by senator chuck grassley's office thomas corroboration visited a gun range of the sign-in sheet one of them from the range. can you see crooks appears to have signed in one day before he tried to aas sin nate former president trump. records show he spent about 80% of the time there practicing with his rifle. we're also continuing to dig through the body cam that footage again today from the day the assassination attempt. can you see right here on your screen what appears to be a person up there on that roof top at 6:08. kind of blurry we had to zoom in on it because it was kind of far away. that's at the same time that crooks climbed up on the roof and opened fire about three minutes later. it's not clear if that officer even spotted him but his body camera did capture some movement. so we do know that the officers were watching the gunman earlier in the day because they talked about it says he was acting creepy and had a range finder with him but they lost track of him children looking for. north side of his backpack. i'm not sure loos seen in the wooded ar

to because there is the senate, individual senators are doing -- have a great amount of experience, grassley and johnson, as well and his counterpart, they had experience in this. but it's so confusing for these whistleblowers. they're saying who do i need to talk to? tristan is helping them and i am sayinglet's figure out a way to facilitate that but it's not my role. so it's confusing and i think multiple task forces aren't right. i think the homeland security and congress need to do this regularly like jason did. >> i got to mention, elon musk tweeted this yesterday. information technology strategic plan for homeland security. their number one goal -- d.e.i. diversity, equity and inclusion. that's their number one goal. the other thing i take a little personally, western we were doing a hearing with the secret service director and it got a little heated, what happened a few minutes into that hearing? the deputy to the secret service director sent out an email saying it's time -- i am paraphrasing -- it's time to make this an even fight. let's go get jason chaffetz. secret service agents d

learning more about how much training this gunmen had according to new records we got from senator chuck grassley's office this afternoon thomas kirks visited a local gun range 50 times in the past year including another time once -- one day before the attempted assassination. overall he spent 80% of his time at the range practicing his rifle shooting, john. >> john: shows you how many times in the past when on that there was not somebody there to trying to take a shot at the president. there will be a reckoning. alexis, thank you so much for the latest report. sandra. >> sandra: let's bring in special agent and fox news contributor nicole parker. i'm sure we will look at that video, all of us do in a different way. how did you see it and what does it tell you? >> the more evidence that comes out, the more egregious these failures are and as a former fbi agent i look at this and it's disgusting, frankly. to that local officer warned the secret service and the tuesday meeting. it's on the body cam footage with the audio and he says i told someone to put them up on the roof. i would like to understan

that's what senators chuck grassley and ron johnson say. >> yeah, it's very important to note that zuckerberg actually admitted to two incidents here and it's important to keep them separate because they have different problems for the country. one was he admitted they deep six the hunter laptop story, which was incredibly awful and terrible censorship. it came obviously in the run-up to an election. that information was true. they made it difficult for americans to see it. the second had to do with their response to pressure from biden and harris during the ongoing covid issue, and that was horrific in terms of public policy, because they were censoring scientists who deserved to be part of this debate and instead allowing this very elite group of biden-harris advisors and scientific experts to declare and define everything that was going to happen in the country. liz: yeah, i mean, covid-19 content when it was an experimental off the shelf emergency use vaccine that we hadn't seen before but had protein in it that people say, scientists say it caused inflammatory reactions inside people's b

turn to because there's the senate, the individual senators have a great amount of experience, senator grassleynd senator ron johnson who is homeland security chairman back when jason was there, as well and his counterpart and they had experience in this. but it's so confusing for these whistle blowers, who do i need to talk to? tristan is helping them and i'm saying let's figure out a way to facilitate this but that's not my role. so it's confusing and i think multiple task forces aren't great. i think the homeland security committees in congress need to do this consistently, regularly, like jason did. >> i've got to admit, elon musk tweeted this yesterday, economic technology strategic plan for homeland security, the number one goal, d.e.i., diversity, equity and inclusion. that's the number one goal and we're talking about technology. i take it a little personally and know i'm too close to this but when we were doing a hearing with the secret service director and got a little heated, what happened a few minutes into that hearing? the deputy to the secret service director sent out an email sa

you know, senator chuck grassley's office released records showing the assassin's, quote, intense preparation. he visited a gun range 43 times in the year prior to the shooting including on holidays and the day before the shooting. 80% of his visits were spent on target rifle practice. how worried are you about president trump's safety? because there are threats against him, for example, a pack pakistani national was just arrested, charged with plotting to aassassinate u.s. politicians including president trump. iran reportedly has threatened the life of the former president and members of his cabinet. >> well, again, i'm extremely concerned, and that's why i've been kind of sounding the alarm on the kind of mistake we have right here. not to mention the fact that senior members of president trump's secret service team had been requesting dicker assets -- additional assets. and we know that ever since the successful counterterrorism strike that eliminated qassem soleimani who is an iranian spymaster in charging of the decide force as well as the man in charge of the largest iraq shia militia
