or wray, welco the subcommittee. i, too, before considering the budget request would like to make a brief word on yesterday senseless act of violence that stole the lives of 19 children. and to teachers. my wife and i've had this conversation it is heartbreaking. the murder of these innocent children is horrific. in a small town, tightknit community like uvalde, kind of like a town i grew up in. there will not be a single member of the community was not touched by this tragedy. director wray i am confident you will bring the full investigative powers to bear in determining the warnings in determining how and why. i'm confident there will be an introspection, examining whether all lawe -- laws, policies were properly followed and we await your findings. the fbi is requesting $10.7 billion for salaries and expenses in 2023. the amount is 6% above the fy 22 enacted. as we have seen demonstrated in texas and in buffalo and nearly every city across the country, violent crime including murders, assaults and robberies are o

"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. david: and tonight we are learning new information about the horrific mass shooting at an elementary school in uvalde, texas, that left 19 students and two teachers dead. police say the gunman was able to walk into the school unobstructed, unlike previously reported and was in there for at least an hour before being killed by authorities. they say the door to the school appears to have been unlocked. this is new video surfaces of parents clashing with police on that fateful day as they tried to get into the school, desperately to save their kids. then there is this heartbreaking moment when a father found out his daughter had died. >> i was aiding assistance. girl was covered head to toe. i asked her what she was wrong. she is hysterical saying he killed her best friend. she is not breathing. trying to call the cops. i asked t

we can speculate about a range of possibilities but chris wray knows the answer.en quiet about this, perhaps appropriately so but now as this gao comes to light, joy, it's important to understand that this is sort of a stepped down version of the report. there was information that was withheld because it was deemed sensitive. this report speaks perhaps in more general terms than the information that is in the possession of the gao about both the law enforcement and the intelligence agencies that had knowledge in advance of january 6th that there was this potential for violence and none of the answers here are good ones. was it a political move that caused them not to take action, was it a failure of knowledge sharing? none of these are good looks. whatever the answer is, the committee needs to get to the bottom of it. steps need to be taken to make sure there's no repeat of this in future elections. >> i kind of feel like it's pretty clear. if they felt there was a big black lives matter rally on the mall on january 6th, they would have been super prepared, would

director chris wray called the shootings at the top racially motivated swlie lent extremism, this as we're learning more about the suspect's radicalization. jeff pegues. >> reporter: tonight the 28-year-old's online radicalization is becoming clear. the authorities are combing through a easy of online posts in which he allegedly called the tops supermarket attack area one and said he was indoctrinated by racist propaganda he saw on extremist web sites during the covid lockdown. last year f.b.i. director christopher wray called such individuals the greatest terrorist threat in the country. >> because they act alone and move quickly from radicalization to action, often using easily obtainable weapons against soft targets -- >> reporter: months before saturday's shooting, the f.b.i. had been funneling more of its resources to domestic terrorism cases which have more than doubled from about a thousand to ou00 iestigations. while white suprema astnd in pr, according to the anti-defamation league, in 2021, hateful propaganda appeared in every state except hawaii with the highest levels rep

you mentioned fbi director chris wray.aw domestic terrorism on the rise. i'll mention three b's how to address this. if it was a foreign terrorist threat, that would be billions, bureaucracy, and belief. we would spend blts of dollars if it was a foreign terrorist threat. we would totally reorient the federal bureaucracy to handle it, but ultimately, we wouldn't be able to get to the core of it unless we focused on countermessaging, focused on preventing people from radicalizing in the first place. that's what this comes down to. that's what we were warning about years ago when during the trump administration we told the white house domestic terrorism is a ticking time bomb in this country. they ignored the time bomb. and guess what? it's gone off. >> a lot of people think donald trump brought in the time bomb, but that's for another day. reverend, frank, miles, thank you so much for starting us off. doug sticks around. when we come back, we'll continue the conversation with the writer who says the buffalo shooter did not

i asked director wray about the horowitz report that you covered in detail indicating 19 violations ofolicy regarding the carter page warrant. what's the storyline here? they had a lawyer for the clinton campaign apparently was able to dupe the entire fbi into believing that donald trump had a relationship illegally with a russian bank that was a bunch of b.s. here's what i think, they wanted to believe it. the best explanation for all this is that every time there was a stop sign, they ran it because they wanted to get trump. there is no other explanation. how could they miss all the warning signs about dossier being a bunch of bull? how could they buy hook, line and sinker what sussmann said and not pass on to agents that the tip came from a lawyer of a campaign running against trump? they wanted to believe it. the only explanation i can give you is that the fbi agents and the head of the fbi at the time wanted to get trump, and they ignored every stop sign because they didn't want to stop. maria: well, we talked about this and you told me about the danchenko interview years ago. >>

director wray testified to the judiciary committee that the threat of domestic terrorism is, quote, metastasizing across the country. last year the f.b.i. reported that our nation experienced the highest level of hate crimes in over a decade. these attacks have targeted black americans who have long been the target of the majority of race-based hate crimes in america. but they are not limited to just our black american neighbors. they have also targeted muslim americans, japanese americans, members of the aapi community, and members of other marginalized communities as well. they don't happen in a vacuum, and it's clear that influential figures on the right have been fanning the flames of hate. the gunman who attacked the grocery store in buffalo was an adherent of the, quote, great replacement theory, a conspiracy theory that fuels white supremacy and white nationalism. it's the same white supremacist conspiracy theory that inspired those neo-nazis to march through charlottesville, virginia, chanting jews will not replace us. you remember that group? president trump said at the time he wasn't su

christopher wray called it extremism. >> reporter: tonight the 18-year-old's online radicalization is becoming clearer. authorities are combing throug a series of on a line posts and says he was and says christopher wray called such individuals the greatest terrorist threat in the count rae. >> because they act alone and move quickly from wradicalization to action, often using easily obtainable weapons for soft targets. >> reporter: the fbi had been funneling more of its resources to domestic terrorism cases, which had more than doubled from about 1,000 to 2700 investigations. while white supremacist propaganda has urged. according to the antidefamation league, in 2021,er it appeared in every states,b with the highest levels in pennsylvania, virginia and texas. and he says white supremacists have been recruiting by pointing to a racist concept called the great replacement. >> the concept being that white people are being replaced by immigrants, by muslims. by people coming from africa and arab countries. >> reporter: it is a concept taking root in american politics. wyoming representa

you are right, i don't know the number that director wray cited, it sounds exactly right to me. the number is extremely worrying. >> i would like to see the focus of some of this new finding go into this precise issue. the suicide issue, obviously, is something that is deeply troubling as well. i think a lot of it is a lack of respect for law enforcement in certain areas of the country, around the country, we're having trouble hiring in, we had we try to do reform, we couldn't get it across the finish line to try to help our local law enforcement. -- do you buy a straining, all kinds of things. we see that they are issues within our police department. i'm very concerned about this. let me ask you another question, i noticed in your statement that you're going to create a new division to combat climate crisis. the reason i'm asking, the reason i'm interested, i'm on the ap w committee, and the ranking member there. there is a lot of enforcement at other places it on environmental justice. you're going to create a new office for environmental justice. are these directives coming f

over a years ago, fbi director christopher wray testified to terrorism metastasized in the united states. it's time to take steps. when exactly did stopping mass murder become a partisan issue. it wasn't like this after 9/11. 20 years ago, republicans and democrats joined in common cause and confronting international terrorism threatening america. after that horrific act of mass murder on 9/11, we worked together on a bipartisan basis to reconfigure our entire national security apparatus. we created a new agency, the department of homeland security designed to prevent the next 9/11. to be sure, there were moments when we went off in the wrong direction. over the years we worked to rein in legislation like the patriot act and protect the american people. and as lawmakers to enact sensible solutions that save lives while protecting our constitution. that's exactly what the domestic terrorism prevention act is all about. it will improve data collection on incidents of domestic terrorism and strengthen federal coordination to combat it. that's why it makes no sense to me that there are repub

director christopher wray in testimony before the senate last year stated that, quote, the top athlete threatt we face from d.v.e.'s -- domestic violence extremists -- continues to be those who identify as racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists. specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race and are the primary source of lethal incidents and violence in 2018 and 2019, end quote. mr. speaker, the domestic terrorism prevention act we are preventing -- we are voting on today is the right bill nor specific moment. the threat is real, it is growing, and if we don't act more people, people praying in their house of worship, children playing in their schoolyards, police officers serving in our communities, will die. we must pass this bill because the american people deserve to feel secure in their schools, in their supermarket, in chair churches, synagogue, simple temples and mosques. i urge my colleagues to support this bill. i yield back the remainder of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from ohio is recognized. mr. j

the inflationary crisis in the wray began years. they did the exact opposite.cut taxes and juiced the supply side of the economy. >> there are a couple of things. if you look, and i have read a history book because you made that comment about liberals. if you look at the first four versus his second floor, it proves trickle down economics did not work. it did not bode well for the united states or president reagan in the second term. the feds are increasing interest rates and people are worried about that from both sides of the aisle. rick scott wants to raise taxes. i don't see joe biden wanting to raise taxes. economists on both sides of the aisle said racing taxes contributed to inflation 2%. without it we would still have inflation now because of what's going on in ukraine and what happened with the pandemic and the supply chain. this is a global issue, not just an american issue. dan: you said you read a history book by you may want to re-read it the reagan tax cuts kicked in in the second half of his presidency when growth was 6, 5, and 4%. so you are mak
