cuellar. now recognize mrs. simpson. >> thank you mr. chairman. last year when you came before the sub mediated ask you about concerning reports of chinese nationals crossing our open border. i brought this concern to you directly, mr. secretary, because president biden did not do anything to prevent this issue. it has become worse and now chinese nationals, as you may be aware of, are the largest and fastest group attempting to cross into our country. but i am concerned that your testimony in your budget does not acknowledge that fact or directly do anything to address it. is that correct? >> congresswoman, let me be clear. number one, any individual who poses a threat to public safety or national security is a priority for protection, number one. number two, for the first time i had an engagement with my counterpart from the people's republic of china to ensure that china would begin to accept removal flights so we can deliver a consequence for individuals from the people's republic of china who do not have a legal basis to remain in the united

. >> and henry cuellar, justice department indicted him. >> he's a democrat to its amount, matter of public record so you've prosecuted democrats as we speak, hunter biden, who is a son of the president, is under trial in delaware and so you have a weaponized the justice department in terms of hiding and protecting democrats menendez cuellar and hunter biden that the justice department follows the facts and the law the prosecutor like cases alike, and we make decisions about different cases in different ways. we do not allow the political party or the ethnicity, or the religion, or the race, or the wealth, or the influence of someone we're investigating to make a difference in our urging decisions. >> and notice mr. gates, who took you on first is not here now. and that's unfortunate because he is living testament to the fact direct, evidence that you have not weaponized the justice department. he was investigated for sex trafficking and while many expected a prosecution, you chose not to prosecute this very active republican is that true? you did not prosecute him? >> i'm sorry, i'm

should mention that to such unprotected democrats as senator robert menendez and congressman henry cuellarg corruption charges brought by our department of justice. not to mention, hunter biden was facing jury selection in a [bleep] today! it's why you probably noticed everyone on "fox & friends" this morning using pillows to cover their boners. it was -- but now you've done it. the rules for your sham weaponization, the denizens maga-tania have been pushed too far. >> be ready, because on january 20th of next year, when he's former president joe biden, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. >> "the daily wire"'s matt walsh said trump should, quote, "make and publish a list of ten high ranking democrat criminals who he will have arrested when he takes office. >> these democrats will rue the day they decided to use law fare to stop a presidential candidate. it won't be hunter biden the next time. it's going to be joe biden. it could potentially still be barack obama. it could still potentially be hillary clinton. of >> jon: "it could be barack obama?" first of all, why is she bro

and that the department of justice is actually presently prosecuting democratic congressman henry cuellarigating missouri democrat cori bush, and is presently trying biden's son hunter because he allegedly lied on a gun purchase form when he said he wasn't using drugs. wait a second. it's against the law to buy guns while using drugs? okay, so who's gonna arrest florida? [cheers and applause] one big cuff? plus, if biden was really pulling the strings, maybe he would have stopped the doj from prosecuting new jersey democrat and business bilbo, robert menendez. senator menendez is currently on trial in new york, where he and his wife, nadine, are accused of accepting gold bars, cash, a mercedes convertible, and mortgage payments in exchange for using political influence to enrich and protect three new jersey businessmen. now, i know what you're thinking when you hear "new jersey businessmen." [laughter] but we actually have a statement from one of these executives. >> everybody immediately assumes you're mobbed up. it's a stereotype, and it's offensive. [laughter] >> stephen: menendez's de

we see it with bob menendez, henry cuellar.ing a peep about that a when their colleagues are under judicial scrutiny if because it's important to trust the system and to move forward. so i think you're going to see limited benefit to people who are moving forward. we saw is it with all the a voter -- >> i think they're not saying anything about bob menendez because he's obviously guilty as hell, but that's my own opinion. [laughter] howard: even menendez gets a jury. let's concede -- let's agree for the sake of argument that you can't just completely fab ifly candidate a charge. you've got to have something there. but if, as a steven the miller we saw, former white house official, say, you know, let's right now have the assistant d.a.s, republicans go after democrats, a white house official, ben, used to tell me if trump's advisers pushed him to tone something down, just wait a cop old -- a couple days and he doweled dial it up, just like he did with dr. phil. >> i think the way host actually going to approach it is to put peop

senators menendez and congressman cuellar.done without favor, and that's what he is trying to persuade the republicans, if that's possible. >> mike, kimberly, thanks so much to both of you. >>> pressing ahead, 242 days after their loved ones were kidnapped by hamas, family members of four israeli american hostages are joining us here, just after they met with jake sullivan. stay with us. you are watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc.

launch criminal probes of democratic new jersey senator bob menendez in texas democrat henry cuellar,ney general. >> it's not the fault of the department of justice at donald trump surrounded himself with criminals, trump walked out upon himself. i know as we sit here today the department of justice is prosecuting hunter biden and any federal court right now. >> arlen accused republicans of touting conspiracy theories about the prosecution of former president trump but garland warned the gop that he would not be intimidated, he contends president biden received the same treatment as former president trump during the raid at mar-a-lago, former president trump said merrick garland approved the use of lethal fo force, this is dangerous it raises the threat of violence against prosecutors and career agents, the document is being discussed is our standard use of force protocol which is a limitation of the use of force and was part of the package for the search of president biden's home as well. >> republicans demand garland up the audiotape of the interview special counsel robert hur condu

so that argument flies right out the window democratic congressman henry cuellar as well. >> exactly larry to that republican response we just heard from lauren fox a moment ago and she gave us sort of the different reactions that are coming from capitol hill. matt gaetz calling it kind of dumb, thomas massie making an argument about the second amendment and the millions of americans that own guns and also use marijuana. and there being some hypocrisy for see, there. what do you make of these varied reactions from republicans to this verdict well, it is interesting because these days they're almost unanimous and basically repeat whatever donald trump puts on truth, social so in a way, it's refreshing to see that there are at least a few republicans who have another point of view about this. >> i don't know if i agree with their argument or not, but for the speaker to say what he did is just laughable. it really is. and i think gloria was was absolutely correct in her comments and i think people are going to see very quickly that as little as i respect polling, you will see almost no

justice department, not just the president's own son, but a democratic senator, senator menendez, henry cuellar. if the system is so rigged, how do they explain that? the answer is, they don't feel the need to explain that at all. they are just going to go with a spin. >> i just wonder who the spin is for, right? you talk about the reaction, this was a statement from the president of the united states after his son is convicted of felonies. as i said last week, i am the president but i am also a dad, jill and i love our son and we are so proud of the man he is today. so many families who have had loveland battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love, out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery. as i also said last week, looks at the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as hunter considers an appeal. jill and i will always be there for hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. nothing will ever change that. it is a very strong statement, it is a tough statement for a father to make, and i think [ i

menendez cuellar hunter biden, the justice department follows the facts and the law now, merrick garland also faced questions from three gop hardliner today about the treatment of january 6, prisoners 3d he's three congressman roy biggs, a massive right in a letter to garland in part what they say is, in addition, other investigations have pointed to the fbi's possible involvement in facilitating the events of january 6, they cite as evidenced in this letter, a new york post columnist peas from last year about this topic. >> now, it is important to point out, anderson that the fbi director christopher wray, has repeatedly testified, but the fbi had absolutely no involvement in the attack on january 6, the justice department itself, has prosecuted hundreds of people, many of whom pleaded guilty, admitted they are wrong, and some of them also, of course, anderson said they came to the capital because thought they were following trump's orders, not erasure. mano. thank you. california democratic congressman, i'm ashamed for you saw briefly amount as report serves on the judiciary committee

there's also talking about the prosecution's of bob menendez, henry cuellar. he said that if the justice department was not fair, you would not see democrats are facing some of those charges. so a really interesting juxtaposition right now, i did ask one democrat coming out of the room just a few minutes ago, representative pramila jayapal, what she thought so far of garland's performance. here's what she said have anything to do is take press color about what he's doing i think in these hearings, they are ranked witnesses and it doesn't really matter what the witness says. >> but i think our side has a chance to continually we characterize make. it clear, but yes, i think he's doing a good job and wolff, we should just know this is a general oversight hearing, so there is a myriad of shoes that we expect could come up. >> in fact, you heard one congressmen in the room, mcclintock, he was asking more about immigration. i mean, this is really a wide a range of topics that we expect are going to come up in the hours ahead. wolf, learned fox, i want you to stand

. >> and henry cuellar, justice department indicted him. >> he's a democrat to its amount, matter of public record and dana this is a general oversight hearing. so what you're seeing in the room from republicans especially is a series of potpourri really of issues that they want to talk about, whether that is the biden administration does immigration policies. you also have had a series of members who had been asking garland about the release of the audio tapes from hur's interview with president joe biden. obviously that is something that they are continuing swing to push for something that they actually held garland in contempt of congress over the not releasing that tapes. so this is something that we are going to continue watching, but just a series of issues. some of them conspiracy theories coming from republicans as they continue to press the attorney general, dana. >> okay. lauren, thank you so much for that. the panel is back with me. leanne, is it your sense that democrats who are on the front line, which is when it comes to getting. majority back whether they believe that

you haven't weaponized the justice department in terms of hiding and protecting democrats, menendez cuellarn the justice department follows the facts and the law and this all comes wolf as republicans are grappling with the fact that their nominee presumptive nominee is now a convicted felon. >> i put the question to a number republicans in swing districts about whether they support donald trump is still a number of them said they do. some of them sidestepped the question and criticize the verdict, but wouldn't say directly, colleague congressman one it says khamanei of arizona, but i also asked the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell today about whether he still is 100% behind donald trump. he said that this case should never have been brought. he says the believes this convictional be overturned on appeal, but he would not say if he supports trump interesting man raju reporting frehse bono, with thank you. >> not a hunter biden's trial on federal gun charges, the laid-off witness who will return to the stand tomorrow morning. we are told after the first day of testimony focused on ev

there's an indictment against democratic congressman cuellar in texas how do they respond to that? the fact that democrats are obviously being prosecuted that those facts are inconvenient for the conspiracy theory that the biden administration has weaponized the justice department for its own political ends and so they tend to ignore those cases. >> steve bannon in the former chief strategist at trump told you that now was the moment for obscure republican prosecutors around the country to try to make a name for themselves by prosecuting democrats. he said, quote, there are dozens of ambitious backbencher state attorneys general and district attorneys who need to seize the day and own this moment in history is this idea really feasible district attorneys around the country are going to have a harder time going after national political figures. they only have state law to work with. they need to have jurisdiction, which means the thing needs to have happened and then their space. you could see perhaps a red very republican, conservative prosecutor and a purple states like georgia th

would want the fact that hunter biden is being prosecuted, robert menendez being prosecuted, henry cuellar being is being prosecuted. democrats are two, is that a two-tier system? >> yeah, but not by their trials and how being presided over by, first of all, by statute, that doesn't exist or they're being charged with a specific statutory violations this is a contortion without precedent so that's been part of the republican argument here that they are going after his trump's allies, trump's opponents, because they believed that the justice department is working unfairly against donald trump, even as democrats themselves are being prosecuted there. >> but as you can see, marco rubio, who could be on down trump's vp less, making it very clear where he stands on this issue and saying it's time to go back to go after trump's opponents with evergreen. they got all right. mano. thank you very much. and david axelrod is out front now, stay here. what manu say? thank you hear what trump is saying? how concerned are you that trump actually means it that he serious that he will follow through on hi

is it not undercut by this by the menendez trial going on by the pending trial against congressman cuellar. not those are three. >> i keep saying no, i know. but how explained to me because those are three prominent democrats, the president's son, because i think i've got a different definition to your justice system here. >> i think what we've seen happen with hunter biden and what we saw happen with president is on a different tier than what we're seeing with menendez and others that is pure corruption where the fbi investigates bribery or the investigates, they investigate votes being sold. this is, this seems to me for tat we can't forget. it is unfortunate what happened, but we can't forget that this is the outer growth of a failed plea deal that this was probably of a plea deal in order to try to get a little bit more to push on the hunter biden signed to accept the plea deal that went awry, and now he had to face the consequences of them filing this action. but we do have a two tiered system. 11 is being used for political purposes right now that we see in all of the quotes that are

henry cuellar.an from texas facing his own investigation from the house ethics committee. guest: congressman henry cuellar, now he will finally know who his general election opponent is. last week there was a runoff election on the republican side. but we are watching in that race is see whether national republicans taking issue -- -- given the mix of circumstances that are happening and political vulnerability, republicans now have unique unit -- this did not make the seat more competitive. host: what of those districts on the u.s.-mexico border. guest: this is one of the districts on the border were republicans have tried to flip seats as they try to drive home a broader narrative about hispanics shifting to his party. caller: this is craig, democrat, good morning. host: what is your question or comment. caller: i think that the second amendment would protect hunter biden's right to have a firearm. as of that with whole subject is about? host: what he is being charged with is violating a law that

. >> hello, i'm briana cuellar along so i'd bore sanchez and washington president biden and former president trump are set to face off tomorrow night in the highly anticipated cnn debate. and it will be on this stage right here that you're looking at. this is brand new video of the cnn presidential debate site in atlanta, georgia and it's gearing up to be in a historic showdown. the first between a sitting president and a former president. and we're learning new details about how both camps are preparing in these critical final hours for president biden were told his campaign wants to focus on domestic issues like the economy and reproductive rights, but on foreign policy biden hopes to paint a sharp contrast and attacked trump as being unfit for office. that's for president. trump. sources tell cnn that there's ramped up urgency to get him prepared for the debate. and that allies are urging him to focus on domestic issues where recent polling shows his head like inflation, immigration, and crime we're getting the very latest from both campaigns. let's start at the white house with cnn's pri

menendez cuellar and hunter biden the justice department follows the facts and the law and jake, this all comes as republicans are grappling with the fact that they are presumptive nominee is now a convicted felon. >> i talked a number of republican what gives including in swing districts and many of them actually are aligning themselves with donald trump's contention that this is an unfair verdict. i did ask the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell today, if you he's 100% behind trump. now that he's a convicted felon, he said jake, that the prospect of the case should never have been broad, but he did not say if he still supports i'm jake manu. >> today, house speaker mike johnson unveiled the plan of house republicans to go after the justice department for alleged abuses. tell us more about that. >> yeah, this plan is still coming together. in fact, jim jim jordan, the house judiciary committee, chairman, has been pushing speaker johnson and tried to go take aim at funding for the department mean, of justice going after some of the prosecution's at the state and local level, joh

there's a bob menendez trial going on henry cuellar trial going i mean, there are other trials of prominent democrats going on right now. >> i think the tricky part is and you're exactly right, but i think the tricky part is if you look at these piecemeal, you can say, well, this just proves the democrats are corrupt in this case of menendez or whomever. i think the tricky part is, as you say, i think there is trust in these institutions. but when we start to, when we start to talk about the supreme court, we start to talk about judge cannon and we pick apart things that maybe it looks like it's not on the level in other areas. i think it's hard to make these cases that we need to trust in the system if we're not bringing that across the board fair point, our guys, thank you very much. >> great discussion. i appreciate it tonight the bidens are huddling together in their delaware home to be with their son, hunter and addressing the verdict, the president said he could relate to families who have had loved ones battling addiction, saying quote, i am the president, but i am also a dad, jill,

so the cuellar case in texas is probably mistaken, but do you see any political ramifications going forward? >> well, i do think that you know democracy is held. the world was part of democracy jurors are one of the things the founders a door jurors because they were a kind of democratic decision-making. we can can't throw you away into jail so i think we will see that some of the attacks blunted earlier we saw that former president trump has not commented, for example, on this because yet but i think what you see is a totally different pitch from, we don't see hunter biden screaming about the logit illegitimacy of the justice system. and so that contrast to the former president and his antics, i will say at the trial, this rather dignified acceptance of responsibility is something that i think we we'll continue to see. >> so let me ask you this, tim, because it occurred to me. whatever one thinks about the biden family, hunter james, the president, et cetera what happened today? >> it would not have happened if a president vice upon taking office, didn't keep the us attorney of delaware as

developing stores and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central hello there i'm briana cuellar alongside boris sanchez and we are on the count countdown to thursday night's cnn presidential debate, where we are now learning some new details about how several top democrats or war burning the biden campaign to shift strategy and to spend more time targeting former president trump and less time touting what they see as president biden's first term accomplishments. the biden campaign appears to be acting on that advice, releasing a new tv ad that's part of what they say is a $50 million ad buy that directly attacks trump's economic vision for a second term. let's take you to the white house now with cnn's kayla tausche and kayla walk us through the details on this new well, the new ad is part of a battleground effort to blink at the airwaves and really target those independent voters by showing them that president biden is the one that it has voters interests at heart, at not president trump, that predecessor to biden, who these new ads say is only in it for himself. take a listen

congressman cuellar awaiting trial right now. it just puts the light of the the idea that there's this weaponized justice department of justice department has nothing to do with the manhattan da's office, but it's also complicated for them because they have become so zealot zealous about the second amendment that they don't quite know how to talk about. this. so they're all shifting. and the thing that they're doing, anderson is this whole, the mantra and they all move as one. is this biden crime family thing because really what's at play here is they're strategy is to try and say everybody is corrupt, that everybody is swimming in the same murky waters that donald trump is no different than joe biden. and that voters should discount the fact that donald trump is a convicted felon and has some other major cases pending against him. so i think you're gonna see a lot of that. what congressman comer said today, chairman comer was really disgraceful as you pointed out he has been rolling out this cannon periodically. he lights the fu
