that is the active shooter narrative that also follows after he shoots mr. rosen balm and then kills mr. hoover, who of course had the skateboard. this is all a matter of how you look at that video evidence, how do you think about what the witnesses said, what the defense has on its side and utilized in the context of his closing was, look, you heard from all these people who said it was violent, it was scary, these were bad people who were rioting. you even had a defense attorney who went so far as to say he was glad that people were killed. >> so much has changed from the first trial i ever covered from when you were in law school, i'm sure, because there is so much video evidence now that we never saw ten, 20 years ago when we were looking at murder cases. obviously rittenhouse's lawyer said, look, he only fired when threatened by other people. but jurors can look at the same piece of video and draw different conclusions, right? how difficult do you think this is going to be? >> you know, there are some who believe this could end up in a hung jury. a lot of wha

>> for the most part, other than mr. rosen balm. >> he was the only one? >> that threatened. >> that you saw? >> yes. >> can we please play exhibit number 18 at the 122 minute and 14 second mark. >> can you please play from this point? >> militia are up there. >> i have a fire. >> where? dumpster fire. it's just like the year, man. >> yeah, right. 2020 is just a stem. >> i could use a dooby right now. >> how's it going? >> hey, hey, hey. >> don't cause problems when there's none here. >> that's true. just stay on your property. >> protect your property. >> there's way too many of them. >> i have to agree with her. >> protect your property, not the streets. >> i have to agree with her. you shouldn't be on the street. they are just protecting their property. >> i thought they were yelling at them. >> one of the guys is losing his patience. he should go inside. switch him out. he's got a lot of rage. he says the wrong thing. protect your property. just keep it there. >> he's trying to protect the property. >> do you think that looks like friction? >> a little

we don't play fast and loose with the facts pretending that mr rosen bomb was citizen a he was a rioter. the national guard is on standby for any unrest from a verdict and the white house says they will monitor the situation in kenosha. rittenhouse faces life in prison if convicted of the most serious felony charge against him. police in colorado are now investigating a drive by shooting near a high school today that injured 16 agers police say multiple rounds were fired from different guns at a park in the denver suburb of aurora. the victims range in age from 14 to 18 police say they are all expected to survive. it was in aurora back in 2012, where a gunman killed 12 people and wounded 70 others inside a movie theater. the gunman is currently serving 12 life sentences. coming up in african american group demanding reparations. we'll tell you about the abandoned building, they are now focusing on up next new numbers, underscoring just how hard it is to buy a home in the bay area right now the current state of the housing inventory. and i'll take a look at those rain chances for thursda

. >> once i take that step back, i look over my shoulder and mr. rosen balm my right side. mr. siminsky. and there were people right there. is it he had been steady the entire testimony. clear and concise. in that moment he broke down him taking someone's life. to you? let's be honest. the prosecution knows he is not not guilty. today they got desperate though and they tried every dirty trick in the book constitutional right against him i'm astonished when you began your examination by commenting on the defendant's pest arrest silence. that's basic law. it's been basic law in this country why you would do something like that. >> they managed to particular off the judge. the prosecution knows better. they don't care. while we wait for a verdict tonight with an 18-year-old freedom on the line it we have to talk about accountability. regardless of the outcome, there should be consequences for these people who manufactured this hoax. it was clear disinformation. no, it was misinformation. the people who colluded with the media to push this fake news, just to win an election, i just

rittenhouse insisted he only defended himself. >> mr. rosen obama was chasing me.im. that did not deter him. he could have ran away instead of trying to take my gun away from me. he kept chasing me. it didn't stop him. reporter: rough day for the prosecution. judge bruce schroeder admonished the prosecutor binger for attempting to work in previously banned evidence, evidence that rittenhouse in an earlier incident said he wished he had his ar-15 so he could shoot some shoplifters. the defense asked for a mistrial. the judge has taken that into consideration. liz. elizabeth: mike tobin, thanks for your journalism. switching gears, bring in member of house budget, congressman jason smith with the house budget committee. take this on. democrat senator joe manchin is slapping down the white house new narrative that supply chain chaos is good things. manchin says it is not transitory. if they're good things, why is in the president in baltimore saying his agenda is an inflation fighter and will stop the supply chain crisis? >> i'm glad to see senator manchin is agreeing

somebody threw a chemical bomb actually, right after i heart i'm going to cut your heart out from mr. rosen bomb. i don't know who threw it, but someone threw a chemical bomb. i helped mr. bulch with being able to breathe and flushed his eyes out and had him drink some water. >> okay. in the answer to the question just before, you said something about being pepper sprayed? >> i did. >> where did that happen? >> that happened at the car source right -- i believe it's the first time a big crowd of people were over there. i was pepper sprayed by somebody that was in the crowd. i don't know why, but i was pepper sprayed. >> did you do anything in retaliation? >> i did not. >> now, directing your attention to later in the evening, did there come an occasion where you had contact with mr. mcguiness? >> there was. >> and before this evening, august 25th, 2020, had you ever met or spoke to mr. mcguiness? >> i have not. >> and you and mr. mcguiness and mr. bulch go someplace? >> yes. >> describe that. >> i get done with my interview with mr. mcguiness. no, i don't ask him. i said if you want to come

we're supposed to believe that mr. rosener main is james borne or wic some super star hero capable of killing with his hands and deserved the treatment that he got from the defendant. mr. richards' closing was quite personal, if not taking shots personally at mr. binger he was gloating about his client's kills. and he talked about a lot about the ziminskis he knows darn well they are charged by my office and fifth amendment right. >> stop, stop. stop. let me ask you to step out for a moment, would you. >> what's your objection. >> not in the evidence and mr. ziminski her case has been disposed of and she did not appeal. >> she did not plead charged with any arson which the defense could get into and she would have a fifth amendment right. >> as i recollect, i think i have the case. i handled the case. >> what's that? [inaudible] >> that's pending. mr. ziminski's case is pending and repeatedly adjourned to follow this case at the state's request. i handled the case of mrs. ziminski. it was a recommendation i think for a seven

. >> i realized that mr. rosen baum was continuing to advance and mr.g still, wasn't clear to me whether the weapon would be grabbed or fired or what exactly was going to happen, but it was clear to me that it was a situation where it was likely that something dangerous was going to happen. >> rittenhouse's lawyers claim that he was attacked while trying to protect property, and he fired his weapon in self-defense. joining us now is paul booker, a former district attorney for wakausha county. thank you very much. okay, i don't know if you were able to see that video, the new surveillance video of a parking lot that we just played and maybe we could put it up again, but you see here, somebody that they say is kyle rittenhouse, and you see this interaction in a parking lot, well, it's hard to see. but basically, my question is, do you think that what the jury is seeing vindicates kyle rittenhouse, that this was somehow self-defense, or do you think what they're seeing is that he went there looking for trouble or spoiling for a fight? >> well, that's certa

we don't play fast and loose with the facts pretending that mr rosen bomb. was citizen.ultimately it will be up to the jury to decide the fate of rittenhouse if he was acting lawfully in self defense that the ball games over the national guard is on standby, and the white house says they will monitor the situation in kenosha, the white house for the president have any message to those who may stir up trouble. we're here to provide support. and beyond that, certainly we, uh, you know, are hopeful that any protest will be peaceful. on monday, judge bruce schroder dismissed a misdemeanor charge of illegally possessing a dangerous weapon as a minor. rent house faces life in prison if convicted of the most serious felony charge against him. and kenosha, wisconsin. mala rivera fox news conspiracy theorist alex jones, who claimed the sandy hook school shooting was a hoax has been found liable for damages and lawsuits brought by parents of children killed in the 2012 shooting. connecticut judge ruled against jones, saying he failed to produced critical documents in the case. the

jeffrey rosen, acting attorney general, sorry, mr.t corrupt because it wasn't. it was secure. it was accurate. brad raffensperger, mr. president, there aren't -- i mean, do they -- are they deluded and they believe a lie, and they're using that lie to launch political careers or do they believe the b.s.? >> reporter: i would add the four republican maricopa board of supervisors to that list there and i would also add governor doug ducey who ultimately certified those election results there. does kari lake actually believe this? i can't get to the heart of who these individuals are that have led them to this moment but i know that kari lake has been an anchor here in phoenix, local television, for more than 20 years and was not viewed as somebody who was part of the far right up until she resigned earlier this year to join, essentially, this trump alliance here. what you saw the other night on wednesday night was video messages from former president trump, from paul gosar, from mike lindell. doug ducey won by 14 points years ago. just

. >> mr. roseno take my gun from me. but he kept chasing me. it didn't stop i'm. >> mr. rittenhouse, you're telling us that you felt like you were about to die, right? >> yes. cheryl: rittenhouse's lawyers are asking for a mistrial following you attempts by the prosecutor to introduce evidence the judge ruled was not relevant to the case. rittenhouse facing charges of intentional reckless and attempted homicide and reckless endangerment and possession of a fire recall as a minor. let's take a look at disney right now, this is definitely dragging on the dow. we would be much higher on the dow is what i'm saying here if it wasn't for this. stock is down almost 5%, 166, that's a loss of almost eight and-a-half bucks. ahead of the open right now. weaker than expected earnings, disney plus, that streaming service facing slower subscriber growth, reported its smallest increase in new users since the service lost. stocks set to open at the lowest level in more than nine months if the numbers you see on you

the speaker pro tempore: without objection, mr. rosen dell: thank you, madam speaker. i rise to condemn targeting parents who express their views on how their children are educated. recently parents have risen up and voiced their operation to schools indock continue nateing their children with critical race theory. merrick garland won't stand for folks exercising their parental rights. he testified before the senate judiciary committee that he didn't think parents getting angry at school boards constitute domestic terrorism. and that he could not imagine the circumstance where they would be labeled as domestic terrorism. despite this, it's now clear garland has weaponnized the f.b.i.'s counterterrorism division against concerned parents. using threat tags to label and surveil them as domestic terror threats. parents have a right and obligation to voice their opinion on how their children are educated and i wholeheartedly agree critical race theory has no place in our classrooms. weaponnizing the f.b.i. against concerned parents is dangerous and a disgrace. merrick garl

mr. ms. rosen from nevada, mr. warnock from georgia, mr. lujan from new mexico, our former chair of the campaign committee. my point is that this along with many republicans, but it was unanimous consent, so everybody was for it. the vote we take on this resolution is a simple one. the text of the resolution is clear. it states that this house, all of us stands in solidarity with cubans seeking to express themselves and redress of their leaders and afilms that the cuban people should enjoy the same access to information and access to internet as other free people around the world and urges the biden administration to promote basic needs in cuba. these are goals we can support overwhelmingly. i know that some members believe that the text of this resolution does not include items on policy that they would like to have. i certainly think that is the legitimate concern and there is no reason why we cannot have resolutions that speak to that. but this is singularly focused on the rights of people. john kennedy said we will bear any burden and d

mr. chair. >> thank you, senator rosen. ranking member portman, i know you had some closing questions. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. i won't take the full time. i just want to say that i think this has been a terrific hearing and exchange of views, and it seems to me that of all the issues we've touched on, probably the one that has had the most potential controversy controversy is the testimonial subpoenas. i appreciate your initial response to my questions and to chairman peters' questions on that. i think it's important to lay out what the guardrails are because we've talked a lot about them, and i do think there are some safeguards here that senator peters and i have included in our bill that are quite effective. because i do think it's an e enormous responsibility that the i.g.s would be taking on to subpoena people after they leave. number one, the attorney general would review and would be able in that case to provide information as to potential conflicts with other investigations that might be ongoing, and i

asserted the privilege here and in fact he permitted the acting attorney general, jeff rosen, who would have been mrt is really tough to maintain that there is any sort of a privilege. clark talked about attorney client privilege but he wasn't president trump's lawyer or alone in the room giving legal advice. so clark really gives every appearance of someone that just does not want to talk to the committee and forces us to contemplate the question what is it he is trying to hide. >> there is so much news it would have been easy to miss the steele dossier -- >> i would defer to joyce for that. one media pundit made a comment saying one person that was a contributor to the christopher steele dossier, may have misled the department of justice. you know, nothing actually comes out in the investigation that says that everything that we have discussed over multiple years of the president of the united states campaign, chairman giving election material to a known russian spy who passed it on to a russian oligarc, that has nothing to do with this. trump siding with the dictator of russian over u.s. intellig

rosen. >> thank you mr. chairman thank you mr. chairman. mr.ears ago president bush had said in an interview that he was the full force of the military to come and defend taiwan prominent us senator. and he said in this case, president bush and attention to detail damaged and that words matter is prominent senator said. of course it was senator biden last week and his words have dramatically summoned confusion on the sensitiveas issue. and the men and women of the military doing a great job for contingencies, military contingencies. that the president said we will defend taiwan publicly. was that are new policy? >> the white house clarify the president was not trying to establish new policy. it remains that was under the relations ask banks of the president statement was incorrect? >> i defer to the white house. >> so from the white house. >> the policy is under the relations act that o we are prepared to ensure taiwan to defend itself and also to deter coercion. >> so you agree with president biden 20 years ago when he criticized president bus

i mean, then acting attorney general rosen and his deputy, mr. donahue, have already testified to what based on their notes, which read like transcripts from a call with donald trump, amount to the architecture of a conspiracy. donald trump said declare it corrupt, me and my r buddies will do the rest. so i mean, what else do you need to open a criminal investigation that goes to the white house? >> that's the thing. there's so much more than that. there's the call. there's donald trump summoning the michigan state legislators to try to get them to overturn it. >> got the voice mail now. what else do you need to open a criminal investigation as to whether there was a conspiracy? >> i don't think you need anything more. >> do you think there is a criminal investigation? >> it's possible. we don't know. it is supposed to be kept confidential. but i was in d.c. long enough to know that usually these things get out and it wouldn't necessarily be a leak from the department of justice, but defense lawyers talk. witnesses talk. i tend to think we would

rosen and donahue. we've received a lot of information. there was information put out that talked about mr.rk's role and delegitimizing the election results, and we feel he has an obligation to come before us and share what he knows. >> did you say over 250 people have communicated with the investigation at this point either giving you documents or testified or both? over 250? >> 250 interviews. there has been a ton of activity that has been going on. 25,000 documents that the committee is sorting through and has sorted through. so there's a lot of activity. i know some of these names that are in the news obviously, but an overwhelming portion of the people we've asked to sit for interviews and folks we have subpoenaed have come forward and have been interviewed. and so we continue to make progress. chairman thompson and vice chair cheney continue to lead our group in pursuit of the truth, and we want to make sure our fundamental goal is this never happens again. in order to do that, we're going to need documents and testimony and a we're going to need to tell the complete story. >> congres

mr. klobuchar. >> aye by proxy. >> blumenthal. >> aye. >> schatz. >> marquee. >> ry. >> baldwin. >> duckworth. >> tester. >> sinema, rosen, lieu han, hickenlooper. warnock. wicker, thune. >> no by proxy. >> cruz -- fisher, moran -- >> blackburn. >> -- >> mr. young? >> -- mr. scott. mrs. -- >> ms. cantwell the yeses are 15, the no resume 13. >> the motion is agreed too. i think my colleagues were participating in this morning's markup. i know how busy everybody is and i -- end of the year so everybody is like in demand in many committees so i just want to say thank you so much for everybody participating in this morning's markup. and now we will end our executive session and turn to our normal hearing. i want to thank our colleagues for being here and for their attention. today the commerce committee will consider very important nominees. and i want to thank them for their willingness to serve. the nomination of jessica rosenworcel to be commissioner and chair of the federal communications commission. senator blumenthal will be providing a formal introduction. but i'll say a few words. the pandemic has mag need the deep digital divide in our count

rosen both declined to comment on these robberies. meantime governor newsom today is calling these attacks. well orchestrated crimes of opportunity, mr. newsom shared his thoughts and plan of action at a news conference in san francisco and abc 7 news reporter liam melendez was with the governor today for that and she's in the newsroom with what he had to say leanne. well, dan, the governor was in san francisco today to visit a vaccine clinic in the mission, but he came prepared to talk about this weekend. he told us what may have prompted these robberies the temporary solution to these crimes and revealed for the first time that there will be more money in the budget next year to address this huge public relations nightmare. while people are still trying to make sense of all the retail store robberies over the weekend governor newsom had his own unconfirmed suspicions. the governor hinted that the robberies were time to take place in areas where thieves may have expected protests after kyle writtenhouse was acquitted for killing two men and shooting another the idea was to overwhelm police timing was rather interesting around the ri

mr. chairman: thank you senator , blumenthal. the vote, the second vote just started almost about 10 minutes into the votes. so we gotta hustle, we'll hear from senator rosen, who rejoined us that senator kelly and then we'll close. sen. rosen: thank you. i've already voted, i was presiding in the chair. thank you, chairman. casey, of course, ranking member scott. this is a really important hearing. scams against seniors are nothing new and there are only increasing in scope and severity . and i appreciate you holding this important hearing and for all the witnesses here today for the important work that you do. nevada is no different than some of the other states and uh most other states and and we have a lot of challenges in health scams, particularly now of course with the pandemic. so you know, one of the challenges throughout the pandemic has just been the unchecked spread of misinformation, disinformation of course, resulting in an increase in scams, especially those targeted at seniors. in fact, according to the federal trade commission in 2020 -- commission, in 2020, citizens of nevada over the age of 60 lost more than $36.5 million to scams. it's

mr. chair, i yield the remainder of my time. >> thank you, senator hassan. senator scott has agreed to temporarily postpone his questions so that senator rosen can ask her questionsknow has another meeting to get to right away. so senator rosen, you are recognized. >> thank you, senator scott. i really appreciate that. i owe you one there. thank you, chairman peters, ranking member portman and i want to thank sheriff gonzalez and mr. santos for being here today and i enjoyed speaking with you. and i know the senator brought this up and i want it build on this. sheriff gonzalez, of course, i appreciated the chance to discuss how it's increasingly challenging for ice to recruit and retain qualityfied agents the last few years, i know you agree it's important for high standards for ice personnel and screen recruits appropriately during the hiring process to reduce the chance of corruption and misconduct. of course, which have plagued the agency in the past and nevada last year saw a worse case scenario when reporting agreed a core civic employee at the southern nevada detention center was actively, actively participating in a neo-nazi website expressing interest in

acting attorney general rosen and deputy attorney general o'donahue, so we've received a lot of information. the senate judiciary committee put out a report as well that talked about mrresults. we feel he has an obligation to come before school bus share what he knows. >> did you say over 250 people communicated with the investigation at this point, either given you documents or testified, 50? >> 250 interviews. there has been a ton of activity that's going on. 25,000 documents the committee is sorting through and has sorted through. there's a lot of activity, and i know that some of these names that are in the news, obviously, but an overwhelming portion of the people who we have asked to sit for interviews and folks who we have subpoenaed have come forward and have been interviewed. so we continue the make progress. chairman thompson and vice chair cheney continue to guide and lead our group in our pursuit of the truth, and we just want to make sure our fundamental goal is that this never happens again. so in order to do that, we're going to need documents and testimony and we're going to need to tell the story. >> congressman pete aguilar, democrat of california,

, both sides agree joseph rosen bomb was the first rittenhouse killed but the defense jumping in to make clear their client didn't fire the first shot heard on the video. >> mrere was a first shot, which was not mr. rittenhouse's shot. >> all sides agree a third person fired the first shot. the defense questioning an eyewitness who live streamed the incident to make its point that rittenhouse was not an aggressor. >> you described rosenbomb as acting erratic. >> from all of the 340moments is around that you can notice, yes. >> you describe rosenbomb as erratic and written house as chain-smoking, yes? >> i suppose you could say nervous, i guess, would be a fairway to say it. >> reporter: but prosecutors say this grainy fbi aerial surveillance video will show rittenhouse did move toward rosenbomb while the defense says it shows rosenbomb hid behind cars before chasing rittenhouse. the most graphic of the video showing the moment rosenbomb was shot four times. [ gunshots ]. >> reporter: and shortly after when he was carried by bystanders and driven away. a detective confirming rosenbomb was unarmed. >> so no gun? >> no. >> no knife? >> no. >> no bat? >> no. >>

mr. clark would revolve around his specific interactions with others at the department of justice and at the white house. both the president, the vice president, the white house counsel, the acting attorney general jeff rosenils of what he tried to do are still obscure, certainly within the department of justice. we have a good paper record. but hearing his version of what he was attempting to accomplish and why would lay a baseline for further inquiry. >> in terms of that baseline, how important is this interview in your mind, overall, based on what we know publicly about where this could lead? >> well, i think the attempt to politicize the department of justice was probably the single most dangerous effort by president trump in the post election time. the idea of the department of justice actively interfering in state electoral actions in the way that clark was advancing should scare every american. and but for the apparent real bravery of people like jeff rosen and pat rejected that, we may have gone down a very dark path. getting to the bottom of this and figuring out what kind of guardrails we can put in place prevent it in the future is vitally important. it is more about the institutions and less ab

rosen: i suggest the absence of a quorum. the president pro tempore: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the president pro tempore: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from vermont. mr. leahy: i ask unanimous consent that the call of the quorum be dispensed with. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection, so moved. mr. leahy: madam president, we're now four weeks in the fiscal year. the federal government, of the most powerful nation on earth, is running on autopilot. and we only have four weeks until the government shuts down unless congress takes action. it's not a theoretical exercise. the actions we take or don't take in this chamber with respect to the fiscal year 2022 appropriations bills affect people's lives but also the direction of this nation. these bills provide for our national defense, help educate our nation's children, provide medical care for our veterans, ensure that we have clean air and water, invest in science, and provide a social safety net for our nation's most vulnerable populations. now, we can and we should do our job and finish these bills in the coming weeks. and we should be ready to go. i mean, two weeks ago i made p
