ranking member raskin? >> thank you kindly, i would hope that this would be universally adopted is completely consistent and following through on the rules of the house. the amendment ensures that the public is not wrapped of essential testimony from people across the country. oftentimes, we talk about wanting voices of americans to be hurt here. this is precisely the way to do it. it allows equal access to the right to testify, to make sure that witnesses are not far from participation, either because of distance, money or travel delays, whatever might be the circumstances beyond their control. it's common sense, and i hope we all endorse it. a yield back to mr. chairman. >> miss moran? >> i support this amendment, and i call two attention of the committee that the congress is evenly divided, so it will make a difference that such a member be able to vote remotely, and i strongly support the amendment. >> mister chair? >> the chair recognizes mrs. porter. >> i want to clarify that the amendment does not pe

raskin. mr. raskin: thank you very much. i want to rise in favor of ms. lee's excellent amendment here which makes both a powerful economic point and a powerful constitutional point. the economic point is that congress must act in order to bring down inflation. congress must act in order to promote employment. and we have acted in partnership with president bide ton do just that in the inflation reduction act in the infrastructure act, in a whole series of bills that we have used to bring inflation down to dramatically lower unemployment in the country. but she's making also, i believe, a very powerful constitutional point because part of what gets lost in the symbolism of this legislation, you know, a mere messaging bill about having executive orders over a billion dollars which describes a handful in a year, attached in inflation description, what gets lost is that the constitution and article 1 sets it up so that congress is the major definer of economic policy in the country. it's congress that is supposed to be laying and checking taxes and imposts a

raskin. >> thank you very much.he only problem with the statement you made as it does create a change in introducing asymmetryng into the rules, and again members should consider this from the perspective of being in the majority now and potentially being in the minority leader because it is an asymmetrical rule that is adopted fact seems to benefit one team and at one point it will come to disadvantage you in the future. in the past because we had a universal unanimous consent practice, no one has had enough incentive to object and everybody understands that that should be a privilege of omembership in the committee tt you should be able to go to various subcommittees. if we centralized the power exclusively whether it's c republican or democrat that person will be able to grant it as a matter of course to members of his or her own party but deny to others or use unanimous consent to have somebody block it in that case. the rules work best when they work symmetrically and fairly for everyone so i would like very mu

we just heard from jamie raskin a few moments ago. how big a problem do you think it is that tucker carlson and tucker carlson only has access to this content? >> well, just from a first amendment point of view it's absurd. the notion that one media outlet would have access to information that's really taxpayer funded, should be available to everybody. congressman raskin pointed out that tons of it is already out there. i have a reverse notion about this which is i think that try as hard as he might even though he might be the only one with the access to those countless hours of tapes, i don't think he's going to find what he wants. it can be searching for and deep, and all these ridiculous conspiracy theories. and it's not gonna be, there what he's gonna find his confirmation of the truth which is contrary to the lies that he and others at fox have told. so i'm actually looking forward to seeing all the material. >> jason, what do you think? >> well, just from a first amendment point of view it's absurd. the notion that one media out

raskin this week is signed, asked comer to cosign a letter.gressman raskin joins me now to tell us about his response. congressman, good to have you on. so what is the status of this inquiry in your house committee? >> the inquiry began in june of last year when we demanded these documents from jared kushner. we have had no substantial compliance. we've completely, he's been dodging our effort to get to the truth of it. and when working on it for the last eight months. but now all of these new details are out. the two billion dollars, the fact that he started his new company the day after the trump administration ended, 99% of the money, as far as we can tell, comes from saudi arabia. the advisory board to the saudis sovereign investment fund says don't do it, don't put a dime in this, these people are untested, they just created their business. but mohammed bin salman overrode them and said we're putting them in with jared kushner. the question for us is, what did saudi arabia get? did he get protection for all the human rights abuses, for th

raskin: mr. speaker, thank you. the distinguished gentlelady from colorado boasts that her state is number one in auto thefts, number one in bank robberies and number one in fentanyl as i understand it. it sounds like they've got their hands full with their own problems, i don't know that they should be spending their time dictating to the people in washington, d.c. what their voting rights policy is going to be. both the gentlelady from colorado and the gentleman from new york invite the question of, would it actually be administratively possible for jurisdiction to have two separate voting lists? for those who are eligible to vote just in local elections and those who are eligible to vote in both local and federal elections. that's a great question that you could have posed at a hearing within the oversight committee if we'd had one. but we didn't have it. but i actually happen to have researched this question and there are a number of jurisdictions around the country which permit noncitizen voting at the local le

what was jamie raskin doing in that comment? he was covering up for the fbi and running points for the fbi, covering up for them. we know from the twitter files and from mark zuckerberg himself or bigger part of big tech, it was the fbi that told them not to censor that story. they told him to expect it because it was russian disinformation. it was all set up for them. because it was not literally an instruction so that the fbi could say with that statement they put out, we did not order the censorship. everyone knows what was going on. jamie raskin to be covering up on behalf of the fbi rather than investigate the fbi is absolutely astonishing. >> steve hilton, great to have you on. thank you. >> the entire room, i realized that we are in a different position with the covid-19 pandemic. these are a lot of very important and powerful, very old people. >> two years ago covid had shutdown our businesses and closed our schools or robbed so much of us. today, covid no longer controls our lives. >> a renewed focus on the pandemic and

chairman, ranking member raskin, and members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. i hope we will have a useful conversation about matters that are of great importance to the nation and the world. my main goals for this day but are simply to attempt to set the record straight with respect to certain falseness offe about me and public. and in the public arena and or suggestion with respect to potential legislation in the area of social media regulation. as a committee is aware, however, based on advice of counsel i believe in good faith that i'm constrained today by my legal and ethical obligations as a former lawyer for twitter as well as my certain nondisclosure agreements. within those constraints however i will endeavor to respond to the committee's russians as fully as i possibly can. i believe i can make the following statement. first, i was not aware of and certainly did not engage in any conspiracy or other effort to do anything unethical, improper or unlawful while i was at twitter, period. i did not act unlawfully or otherwise inappropriat

here's congressman jamie raskin doing just that, with a stunning takeover about who is really tryingeaponize doj. >> trump and his obliging attorney generals like sessions and barr, repeatedly pressured career prosecutors to go hard or go soft in particular cases, always seeking to reward trump's friends or to punish his enemies. if weaponization of the department of justice had a meet meaning, this is it. the durham investigation closed as a total flop without unearthing anything like the deep state conspiracy that republicans have been denouncing around here for years. it couldn't find anything of substance to it. amazingly, when prosecutors participating in this wild goose chase actually came into possession of evidence of a real offense, from italian government officials of a potentially major financial crime committed by donald trump, durham was suddenly deputized to investigate it and the whole investigation mysteriously disappeared without a trace. trump's enablers now want this subcommittee not to examine the durham debacle, as a case study in dangerous weaponization of the j

raskin. >> mr. chairman thank you part i rise in support of the gentleman's amendment.and indeed, or the great things about congress changing hands is weak it's a quote each other from the prior congress. and mr. chairman then you did say the subpoena is a powerful tool and notice and consultation are common sense measures the majority should to the fullest extent possible. you are absolutely correct to point out the majority did not accept that. but i will say that effort going to be on a race to the bottom of the precedent was set by the trump administration president trump said he would not cooperate with any subpoenas at all and simply shut down the process it's been ignored and rejected hundreds of congressional subpoenas and i don't think we want to go down that route. i don't think you want to encourage them by an on that route. i would encourage a complete reset at this point. let's resolve to do better together platelets issue subpoenas together. let's make the subpoena stick and work by making sure the administration comprises a bright urge all my colleagues t

raskin: mr. speaker, the gentlelady from the district of columbia has just made a very powerful point which is that on a whole range of offenses, under the newly revised d.c. act that they want to overthrow now, the criminal law is tougher in washington, d.c. than it is in the distinguished chairman's home state of kentucky. on carjacking, on first-degree murder, on involuntary manslaughter, the people of d.c. have tougher policies. they didn't denounce kentucky as soft on crime or weak on crime, to say the united states will turn itself into a superlegislature for kentucky and strike their laws down. that's up to the people of kentucky. they don't even have a carjacking statute. you have to use armed robbery which will get you up to 20 years in prison. in the district of columbia they have a specific carjacking statute that can get you 24 years in prison. but that is the beauty of the federal system which i thought our colleagues supported. the idea that people decided at the local level where t

daniel goldman and jamie raskin they just wanted to turn that hearing into another january 6 committeep they kept on bringing up donald trump and insurrection which is completely irrelevant that should concern all democrats and republicans and independents in this country which is you had the fbi coercing the social media companies to center american speech in sheer violation of first amendment rights. maria: what about all the evidence on the biden laptop the tens of millions of dollars the biden family has taken now we have to wonder we have to question why joe biden was so soft on china after we saw spotify into the country into breaking our sovereignty in our airspace and spy and take information about our nuclear installation back to the chinese communist party that is on top of the ccp cover-up of covid-19, a million americans dead can can try to do no wrong after all the money is taken. >> exactly, that's the problem the biden the administration has, it's very difficult to tease out incompetence or weakness from this administration in joe biden can be compromised and what we see

which is thrown out by jamie raskin -- bobcats. is a specific theory, the witnesses today thought they were arranging over all the kinds of grievances, that covid stuff, twitter stuff, it's kind of like hush mortgage board of things that aren't they aren't happy with. >> imagine beginning your day beau weaponization carrying the sets the whole stage. he began with an almost 90 year old senator who comes across as the cranky old uncle at thanksgiving, who has a long list of grievances that you're gonna listen to. and ron johnson following, brings in paranoia as a bit of an extra serum. on the desert. then we've got -- who's apparently angry for some reason and inexplicably her gulik out was suspended. without reason and restored later on without reason we had a former fbi agent who acted like he was an expert on the fbi, who retired in 1999 before we had iphones. i would say a little out of touch maybe with today's fbi. in terms of what's going on media nor is an expert from the produces intelligent -- produce content just f>> altho

jamie raskin called an a witness noted even the subcommittee's name is nothing more than a psychologicalction from the trump supporters in control. >> not because weaponization of the government is its target but because weaponization of the government is its purpose. trump and his obliging sycophantic attorney generals like jeff sessions and william barr repeatedly pressured career prosecutors to gee hard or soft in particular cases always seeking to reward trump's friends or to punish his enemies. if weaponization of the department of justice has any meaning, this is it. the john durham investigation was trying to find wrongdoing by intelligence or law agencies in the mueller agency. it couldn't find anything of substance to it, but barr and durham kept pressing in abusive ways i hope your subcommittee will investigate. >> of course, jim jordan isn't going to do that, nor will he investigate how trump's weaponization culminated in using the justice department to try to overturn an election. this is nothing more than republicans nursing their own weird incessant self pity and self victi

which is thrown out by jamie raskin -- bobcats. specific theory, the witnesses today thought they were arranging over all the kinds of grievances, that covid stuff, twitter stuff, it's kind of like hush mortgage board of things that aren't they aren't happy with. >> imagine beginning your day beau weaponization carrying the sets the whole stage. he began with an almost 90 year old senator who comes across as the cranky old uncle at thanksgiving, who has a long list of grievances that you're gonna listen to. and ron johnson following, brings in paranoia as a bit of an extra serum. on the desert. then we've got -- who's apparently angry for some reason and inexplicably her gulik out was suspended. without reason and restored later on without reason we had a former fbi agent who acted like he was an expert on the fbi, who retired in 1999 before we had iphones. i would say a little out of touch maybe with today's fbi. in terms of what's going on media nor is an expert from the produces intelligent -- produce content just f>> although y

congressman jamie raskin. watch. >> millions of americans already feared that weaponization is the right name for this special subcommittee. not because weaponization of the government is its target, but because weaponization of the government is its purpose. >> another witness, ron johnson, a frequent critic of the doj and fbi. >> i've written over 50 overso iing letters and the vast majority of the questions i've asked have either received an inadequate response or no response at all. >> one of the primary concerns, a school board letter put out by attorney general garland. the response the national school board association in september -- september 29, 2021 wrote to president biden arguing some parents actions at the meetings should be considered a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes. the group later apologized five days after that nsba letter, garland wrote his memo to investigate. he does not use the word terrorism or parent in his memo, but there's no clear if an investigation was ever opened. hou

we're gonna put them goldman, former -- , we're gonna put jamie raskin. when you have the best and brightest, they are just running circles around these folks. embarrassing them at every turn. i must say, i was kind of expecting more from the republicans, but apparently they don't know how to run an investigative committee anymore. i just thought that they couldn't legislate, they cannot hold hearings either, they are completely incompetent. i know you've read so many things that let light on the floor, must be embarrassed for his former republican friends. because this is no way to run a hearing. you're helping the other guys. i wonder if they're even going have it anymore? did they gain or lose this week? i think they lost. you can kind of tell when msnbc is sending clips of these around in around. i don't think they intended for those to be talking points for the residents. >> i'm sure. but a lot of progressives are like, keep them coming. kurt, i just want to look at one more contrast. president joe biden tweets, let's give public school teachers a ra

one of the points, jamie raskin, one of the democrats made, he said, we're beating up on twitter because isn't this the same organization that helped donald trump in the insurrection. >> twitter in central staging grounds for the january 6 violent insurrection against congress and against vice president pence. >> beyond the specifics here, you hear jamie raskin, you hear the republicans. there are different grievances, but both parties have significant grievances against big tech and social media. >> yeah. there is one area where they agree in certain ways but whaan discover. there's one thing to throw out red meat to rile up the base. it's another thing when you get witnesses in there who testify under oath and you're not going to get the answers you're looking for. i think if they don't show credibility in these investigations people are going to quit paying attention. >> so, donie, that gets you to the point is there any hope once each side makes the partisan argument it wants to make and backs that up, there will be an adult conversation between all parties. okay, we had 2016, now we
