senator hawley. sen. hawley: mr. patel, it is great to see you again. i enjoyed our conversation in my office a while back. let me ask you this. is it appropriate for the federal bureau of investigation to attempt to recruit spies or informants into religious institutions in this country? >> i do not believe so. sen. hawley: are you familiar with the recent actions of the fbi in this regard, including this memo i have here making a list of catholic churches and parishes they regard as potentially suspect and directing the potential recruitment of informants and other spies into those parishes? mr. patel: i'm familiar. sen. hawley: would you commit to me that you will, if confirmed, that you will finally and officially withdraw this memo and make it clear this is not only unacceptable but an absolute violation of the first amendment that every american enjoys under the constitution of the united states? mr. patel: if confirmed, yes. sen. hawley: will you commit to me that you will conduct an investigation and find out who wrote this memo, who spread this

this week i joined senators graham, whitehouse and hawley. this is long overdue. section 230 and the legal legal immunity it provides to big tech has been on the books since 1996 long before social media was part of our lives. it'll be easy to pass legislation to protect kids online and trying to make the tech industry legally accountable for the damage they are causing. kids online safety and privacy act, bill introduced by senators blumenthal and senator blackburn as well. it passed the senate 91 to 3 but big tech didn't -- couldn't even get up for a vote. the national center for missing and exploited children receives a hundred thousand reports to favorite zip line every single day. each of these reports involves a victim, it could be anything from images of a toddler being raped to teenager being coerced, encouraged to commit suicide. i hope everyone keeps that in mind as we hold this hearing. we cannot wait, we have to move. i hope it drives public to demand congress to finally do somethingco something. >> senator? >> thank you, mr. chairman and i want to say

>> i would say so. >> senator hawley: would you say it is more of it or less of it? >> mr. pizzuro: hundreds or thousands percent more. >> senator hawley: in 2023, there were 104 million images in videos of suspected child abused materials uploaded onto the internet compared to 450,000 in 2004. 450,000 to 104 million in the last four years in which we have data. here is another statistic. the number of reports of child exploitation materials went from 1 million in 2014 to 36.2 million in 2023. so, in other words, it is an enormous explosion. it is absolutely everywhere. let me ask you some of the remedies about this. if you are a parent and i am a parent of three young little kids, if you are a parent of a victim of child sexual abuse material, your child's images have been used and they have been exploited. you have companies hosted that content recklessly or intentionally or negligently or they have done it, if you are a parent, can i sue them and get it down? >> mr. pizzuro: not right now. you can sue them but i don't know how successful you will be. >> senator hawley: w

now senator hawley. sen. hawley: it's great to see you here. i enjoyed our conversation. it has now been a month or more. it's great to see you here. you have taken questions from both sides and taken heat from both sides. you handled it beautifully. let me get a few things straight. for my republican colleagues let me clarify, you are president trump's choice to lead the department of labor. ms. chavez-deremer: yes. secco -- sen. hawley: and you support the president's policies -- policies you will represent his agenda. and to my democratic party you'd sponsored many pieces of prolabor policy and in the house and you have a long record of working with labor and business to try to advance a pro-worker agenda. is that fair to say? ms. chavez-deremer: yes. sen. hawley: that is probably why the president chose you for the role. i think your record is outstanding. let me ask you about an issue that has not gotten airtime today but is important. that is the significance of immigration and the american worker. i have a chart to show you. this is the department of labor's own da

but since smoot-hawley, congress has delegated this chair of power to the president, and this made some sense. but we've gone way, way too far because now the president can, with the stroke of a pen, impose tariffs across the board on our closest military ally in imports from canada. that doesn't make a lot of sense. and it's really bad for the investment climate. and if you pick up "the wall street journal" today, not a day goes by that there's not some story about investors holding back investment because of tariff-related uncertainty. and that just, again, makes common sense. this is a lot of money people are putting on the line. they need to know they have some certainty in this regard. - i have a question from a student. alex, go ahead. - my question for you is: how consequential do you think these escalating trade war tensions are going to be on our international relationships moving forward, especially as both china and the u.s. engage in this back-and-forth trade war tariff battle right now? - the united states has a lot of goodwill, and that will continue to be the case with a

the conservative republican from missouri, hawley, says america's drowning in iraq debt.ing are richer and richer. of t it's not just is wrong, it's exploitive. if you take the numbers from 2022, $105 billion paid in interest on credit cards. and people out there are getting fed up. listen to this, stuart. >> it's really, really easy the get into -- to get into a financial hole, and it's hard to get out of it especially with the interest rates that are, like, crazy. like 29%. it should be, it should be illegal. >> the interest rates on credit cards are outrageous given that the banks are giving out no interest to people. so i think it's a great idea. >> i -- people do need their credit cards for bills and things are going up, and they have to probably use that to get by. so at least 10%, at least it's a start. >> reporter: unworkable, says the credit card industry. they say a 10% cap would actually harm the consumers that the policymakers are trying to help by limiting the types of credit that is available to millions of people and that they depend if on. maybe not such a

with his former party, the democratic party, he made commitments like senators, like senator josh hawley that he would not deviate from donald trump's position opposing abortion. >> i'm going to vote for him based on his commitments to me, based on life that he said that he would implement president trump's agenda from his first term. >> you believe him on the abortion issue? >> oh, yeah. he testified under oath that he would reimpose all of the pro-life protections. if he doesn't do that, we'll have a big problem because he told me under oath he would. so, yeah, i believe if not, it's it's not going to be pleasant. we've done everything we can to find him, and we're not done fighting him. but we need some of the republican members to decide. they're not going to cater to every whim of this president. >> and that last comment coming from senator adam schiff, a freshman democrat from california, and laying out the stark reality for democrats here, is they simply just do not have the votes to stop any of these nominees unless republicans defect. really, for republicans would need to defect

hawley: did -- >> thank you for letting me join you. i know you are entering this job at a difficult time in the sense that there's been a lot of questions about fraud that occurred and lost money that occurred during the pandemic and there will be an expectation of accountability as there should be for every tax dollar we spend but at the same time, we know speed -- time is money in business and small businesses particularly during a time of natural disaster or when they are just trying to make ins meet to keep the business open and they need help from the sba, time is also so important. give me some insights into the committee, how you expect to balance that, accountability and speed. ms. loeffler: thank you for making time to meet your first week in the senate, i enjoyed our conversation and i know that small businesses are championed in ohio based on your work. you asked an important question about accountability of these programs. americans are expecting them to be there and when they are not it creates another layer of uncertainty

even before the end of the second world war, the 1930 smoot—hawley act imposed tariffs on imports foroughout the �*305. of free trade. but now president trump says "tariff" is one of his favourite words. tariffs on canada, mexico and china. other countries to bend reluctantly before his will? i sought the views of the bbc�*s business editor, simonjack. donald trump has been writing about the...america getting ripped off, as he sees it, since the 1980s, whenjapan was exporting a great deal of stuff to the us. from the rest of the world than the rest of the world buys from the us. i think the origins of this are in the north american free trade agreement, nafta, which was something signed by bill clinton 20 or 30 years ago, which basically eased the movement of goods and services between mexico, canada and the us. and what happened as a result of that is that all the us car companies all moved their factories, and the european ones did too, into mexico, so they could... where it was cheap. fall into disrepair. so he hated nafta. states—mexico—canada agreement. he signed the agreement. .

hawley: thank you to the witnesses for being here. i want to thank you and the parents in the room today. you have highlighted the true crisis that we are facing in my home state of missouri in 2022 alone. child fatalities from fentanyl doubled in 2022. deaths for children under t by n my state and fentanyl is our leading cause of death in missouri. the fates that your families have endured are being replicated all over my state as well. that is a wake-up call i think for this body to do something. we need to seal the border against those who would traffic illicit drugs into the country and prosecute those who are doing it, but i want to zero in on something that you've talked about, you in particular ms. norring. you said a second ago that you repeatedly reported drug dealers and illicit posts to social media platforms using the platform's own reporting rules. i think you said most of the time, the vast majority of the time, the answer you get back is this is a valid account they otherwise can't do anything. did i hear that correctly

but saying i -- hawley they should be engaged but they're not. another one, others are saying that zolonsky started things by criticizing trump saying that he was operating on disinformation. so that's a way of not talking about trump but z -- one interesting person i talked to ted cruz who himself used to be an opponent of trump. here's what he said. >> look, i think zolonsky has made a very serious mistake. he is running to the european press and just attacking president trump. and it's not complicated. that is a strategy doomed to failure. and every time he attacks president trump, it is predictable that trump is going to punch back. lisa: so deep breath. this is a lot at that take in today but what the through line here while there is concern about very serious issues across government and across the world with what president trump is doing, senate republicans for now are either placing faith in him or they are not opposing him in public. geoff: lisa desjardins, covering it all. our thanks to you as always. lisa: you're welcome. geoff: in isr

this is because senators like josh hawley and others have been quietly behind the scenes. it's been reported calling the president and saying, don't do this. do not step out and suggest that you are not going to follow the rules of courts. so this is important because i have said for some time, the only thing that can slow this train down is if some wedges are built between trump and elon and between trump and republicans in congress. i think we're starting to see that in congress. representative dan bacon from nebraska has been quite distressed about the u.s. aid aid issue, as has the senator from kansas, because they know how it will affect their farmers. i think if you looked at that picture that you just showed in the in the in the oval office, the wedge between elon and trump is growing and will grow. you know, the time magazine cover the protests. i think this is important to just keep your eye on, keep your eye on the wedge between trump and elon that will grow. and keep your eye on the senators, at least a couple of them who seem to be pushing on trump and saying,
