durbin: mr.president. the presiding officer: the democratic whip is recognized. mr. durbin: mr. president, this week marked the official start of summer and by all means it should be renewal for our nation, but as we recover from covid-19, we find ourselves facing another crisis, an epidemic of gun violence in america. the gun violence we're seeing in america today is devastating and it's the direct result of generations of underinvestment, policy failure and cycles of trauma. yesterday president biden spoke to the nation about this challenge and laid out a clear strategy to keep our communities safe from the scourge of gun violence. the president has called for important reforms to crack down on gun trafficking and gun dealers who willfully violate the law. i agree with this strategy and i'll do everything in my power as chairman of the senate judiciary committee to support it already the administration has worked to rein in the proliferation of untraceable ghost guns. what are these guns? they

the act with senator durbin.ould also be remiss if i didn't thank senator blackburn for her service to my home state of tennessee. it's an honor to be with you all and share a bit of my story. also i want to recognize my sister who is here with me today. my mother was 24 and my father was 27 when they made a difficult decision to leave everything known to them to come to the united states in search of a better life for their 2-year-old son. little did they know it would lead to my career as an emergency medicine doctor. day after day i provide critical care to save american lives on the front lives of the pandemic even if my own future in the country remains uncertain. my memory from my birth country are shaped only by family pictures shown to me as a child and to be honest the united states is the only home i know. home is a beautiful state of tennessee where i grew up and had quite the average upbringing as a kid. i was enrolled in way too many extracurriculars from karate to swim team while living in ignorance

senator durbin? >> thanks, chairman, and ranking member cloud for allowing me to testify today on the youth vaping epidemic and the role of the food and drug administration. the campaign to reduce tobacco use and prevent our kids from lifetime addiction to personal to me. my father died from lung cancer, he was 53 years old. he smoked two packs of camels a day. as a young high school student i will never forget how he struggled to breathe during my visits to the hospital in his last days. cigarettes are responsible for 480,000 deaths every year in the united states. my family is certainly not the only one who can tell this story. so ever since i came to congress starting in the house i've dedicated my career in public service to this fight. holding the tobacco industry accountable for its lies and deception, empowering families, schools and health care providers to prevent kids from this addiction and working to build and strengthen a regulatory framework that really does focus on public health. when

as senator durbin said, a high bar. to not clearly support that standard which includes an evaluation of the impact on use initiation and use will not issue a marketing order for that product. at the end of the day we are going to do everything wee can to end epidemic abuse and another generation of kids from being addicted to tobacco products. importantly we're going beyond premarket review will 2020 national youth tobacco survey showed a significant decline with each cigarette use last year, they are still 3.6 million middle and high schoolers who currently use these products. the epidemic abuse vaping threatens to undermine decades of progress in reducing the impact of tobacco on public health. so we are also focusing our enforcement efforts against any product for the manufacturer fails to take adequate measures to prevent youth access in any product targeted to youth. and we have been doing that. we've issued warning letters to companies illegally marketing kit appealing tobacco products such as a backpack and swea

>> senator durbin. >> i share your concerns, senator.don't have a current representative of the administration on this panel but we certainly should be during our duty and oversight in this important area. >> thank you. thank you. >> i, too, commit as chair to the sub committee, as a colleague from california, i will follow-up and get you that information. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. chairman. in september of 2019, then presidential candidate biden promised that should he be elected as president of the united states there would be immediate surges at the border, he said, quote, if you want to flee, flee oppression, you should come. given president biden's open invitation while he was a presidential candidate, it's -- it's not at all surprising in my view that we have record-breaking surges at our southern border that are causing a full blown crisis at the border. since february, over 632,000 people, that is that we know of, embarked on incredibly dangerous journeys and have entered the country illegally with the hope of eve

durbin: rewould in a quorum call? the presiding officer: we are not. mr. durbin: thank you.if in legislative session, i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to the immediate consideration -- i'm sorry, i want to make a statement before i do that. thank you. mr. president, in the city of chicago, which i'm proud to represent, there's an organization called life span. this is an incredible group of people who dedicate their lives to providing comprehensive services for the survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. every day they respond to horrifying cases of abuse. they help thousands of women and children access the support they need to address trauma and to rebuild their lives. for example, lifespan recently assisted a woman after her teenage daughter was sexually assaulted by the woman's husband. lifespan was able to help the mother and daughter navigate the overwhelming challenges of pursuing justice against the abuser and offer support to the daughter throughout this horrible process. when the mother pursued a divorce from the abuser, lifespan filed a p

the chair of the judiciary committee, dick durbin, talked yesterday about the legacy of daca since 2012. listen to what he had to say. >> since 2012, more than 800,000 dreamers have stepped out of the shadows to enroll in daca. the program has been a life changer. it has allowed them to work, pursue higher education, and serve in america's military. daca has unleashed the full potential of dreamers. august 15, 2012, is a date i will never forget. it was the first day that daca applications were accepted. i was at navy pier in chicago for a workshop to help dreamers apply for daca. we weren't sure if anyone would show up. then we weren't sure how many would show up. then what happened astonished us. thousands, thousands of young people showed up on that day, filled the entire boardwalk. some gathered with their parents at midnight before the actual opening that morning. some drove in from neighboring states. that's how eager these young people were to officially become part of america even if on a temporary renewable basis. and that's what's really the keyword when it comes to daca. it's

as senator durbin said, a highn bar.the data do not clearly dusupport that standard which includes an evaluation of the impact on youth initiation and use, we will not issue a marketing order for that product. at the end of the day we are going to do everything we can to end the epidemic and prevent another generation of kids from becoming addicted to tobacco products. importantly, wee are going beyod the premarket review while the national youth tobacco survey showed an encouraging and significant decline in the use last year, there's still 3.6 million middle and high schoolers who currently use these products. the epidemic of the undermining of decades of progress reducing the impact of tobacco on public health.ou for example we have issued warning letters to companies for illegally marketing unauthorized kid at healing tobacco products such as a backpack and with hidden pockets to conceal e cigarettes or those resembled smart watches werett children's toys. in addition as of may 31 we issued over 120 warning letters t

i know senator durbin pledges himself to this mission and i do as well. the great thing is we have a bipartisan coalition that is growing and so my colleagues today have demonstrated their openness. for the association and from the two process institutes, from the national district attorney association, from the americans for tax reform, from our street and from the american conservative union i want to say one more time to the witnesses thank you. as i tried to indicate and i hope people understand living in accordance to making the nation safer and stronger and better for all. iak do want to burden you a lite bit more because questions for the record will be open until tuesday as my friend said she will have some questions for you all for the record and i would imagine my team will as well. until june, 2021, at 5 p.m. and the record will remain open to some of the letters and materials. there's a lot going on on the floor right now. i want to be looking down i will have to spread. you have a great head on your shoulders. thank you, gentlemen. this has b

thanks to senators grassley and durbin i was spared another decade behind bars. i left prison for good on january 3rd, 2019, just two weeks after president trump signed the bill into law. i spent the last 2 1/2 years add advocating for those left behind. i know there are a lot of people like me who committed to making changes and find a new path and who do not need to spend decades in prison to learn their lesson. i deserved to go to federal prison for my crimes but i didn't need a sentence of 35 years especially when 20 of those years are due to the fact i sold one type of cocaine rather than another. the fair sentencing act might have been the best political compromise congress could have reached 11 years ago. the u.s. sentencing commission recently found that black people made up 77% of all federal crack convictions in 2020. in other words, we used to see a tremendous amount of racial discrimination. now we see a little less. but even a little less discrimination is too much. the difference in crack and powder drug rates was just in 1986, it wasn't just in 201

so, i know senator durbin pledges himself to this mission. i do as well. and the great thing is we have a bipartisan coalition that is growing, and some of my colleagues to who have demonstrated their openness to working with us on that. i want to put into the record, letters of support for the major city chiefs association, from the two process institute, from the national district attorneys association, from the americans for tax reform, from our street, and from the american conservative union. i want to say one more time to the witnesses, thank you for being here, all four of you, as i have tried to indicate, and hope people understand, are living your lives in according to the hope that we can make this nation safer and stronger and better for all. i do unfortunately want to burden you a little bit more because questions for the record will be open until tuesday, as my friend senator blackburn says. she's gonna have questions for all of you for the record, i imagine. my team will as well. so, i think the record will be open until june 29th 2021. and t

durbin: i thank the senator from rhode island. as if in legislative session i ask that we proceed to h.r. 1652 which was received from the house and is at the desk. further, the bill be considered read a third time and passed, the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. toomey: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from pennsylvania. mr. toomey: mr. president, reserving the right to object. i've got good news for my colleagues from illinois and rhode island and that is that the modification that i'm suggesting to the unanimous consent request proffered by the senator from illinois is not complicated. it's got nothing to do with budget rules. in fact, it's the simplest thing in the world. now, the senator from illinois wants to put more money and money from a new source into the crime victims fund. i completely agree. i fully support it. i've liked this idea from the first time i heard of it, and i've supported it. but there's something that's impor

before you were talking to senator durbin.n phil mattingly was talking about the white house being keenly aware that there weren't votes to get. through that's one avenue. the other is chuck schumer's passionate speech on the senate floor, is that being delivered to joe manchin and kyrsten sinema to get them to change on the filibuster issue. if you saw the 50 democrats names, they're not unified on filibuster reform. what is the effort underway for that so they could get their changes critical to our democracy with just 50 votes. >> manu raju is getting major breaking news up on capitol hill right now. tell our viewers what you are learning. >> reporter: yeah. we're learning that democrats plan to move ahead with an investigation into the january 6th attack. nancy pelosi, the house speaker just told her democrat colleagues that she will move ahead and name a select committee to probe what happened on january 6th. this came in the aftermath of the failed effort by the democrats in the senate to try to get a bill to get an outs

durbin says between now and the fall, they have six workweeks on the calendar. they are burning daylight. it's time to get moving. understandable frustration there, both from firebrand pro bres recei progressives. massachusetts senator ed markey has an idea. he said this week, if the infrastructure bill isn't just negotiated, if it isn't -- if it isn't voted on and passed and on the president's desk before the august recess this year, before their big break to catch up on their summer reading, he says, if this isn't passed before the august recess, then they shouldn't take their august recess. they should cancel it. stay at work and get it done. that would have the practical affect of putting time back on the clock for democrats to use their precious majority to actually do stuff. reading is fundamental, i know. i don't want to discourage any senators from getting through their summer reading. i have quite a stack myself. why don't they plan to give themselves more time? what's more important than that in their jobs? that's what the republicans would do if the r

this is a five alarm five for our democracy, senator dick durbin, democrat, tells cnn.ntime trump is still cheering on partisan ballot reviews hunting for fraud. >> i want to c. by the way, republican state senators at arizona and other places for their great work. >> that they are doing and exposing this fraud. >> reporter: one of those republicans karen phan who spearheaded arizona's republican ballots. >> i don't know what's legit or not. >> i've been in numerous conversations with rudy giuliani over the past weeks trying to get this done. i have the full support of him and a personal call from president trump thanking us for pushing to prove any fraud she says in a constituent released by a watchdog group american oversight. all of those who stood up to trump's attempts to overturn like secretary of state rafns pittsburgh and governor kemp who got booed at the gop convention and raffensperger was censured for dereliction of his constitutional duty. kemp and raffensperger with both running for re-election in 2022 which could give us an early look at how strong the tr

writing senator durbin responded, quote, i'm not sure, meaning i'm not sure what will happen next. he then hinted that president biden is, quote, doing lite of things that haven't been announced publicly. before too long, white house chief of staff ron klain retweeted that, pointedly, literally with a little pointing emoji, seeming to endorse the idea that there may be actions president biden himself or the biden administration more broadly is taking on this issue that we can't yet see. okay. i'm intrigued. i'm looking forward to finding out about that. but whether it's potentially justice department action to enforce federal laws around the handling of ballots and not intimidating voters or whether it's something else they've got in mind, when it comes to the law, when it comes to the path of legislation, it did hit that big expected speed bump today thanks to democrats unwillingness to reform the filibuster rules in the face of republican willingness to use the filibuster against absolutely everything, even voting rights. all 50 republican senators voted today that there should n

durbin: madam president. the presiding officer: the majority whip. mr. durbin: i ask consent that the quorum call be suspended. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: madam president, last friday, "the new york times" said that during the trump administration, subpoenas were given to family members. it is highly unusual for the justice department to investigate members of congress. the reason it's unusual is clear, our founders created three separate branches of the federal government with a separation of power so that each branch could serve as a check and balance on the other and no branch would have too much power. when the justice department investigates a member of congress, typically it's for corruption charges. that's understandable, but that's not what happened here. this was an investigation into a leak of information and the use of subpoenas to investigate members of congress is extremely strange territory. these are kerntion are heighten -- concerns are heightened when the president has attacked those same members of congress, t

if really this were a boxing match, i would say point schumer and durbin. they are right.ll in the former attorney general to testify and negotiate over his testimony. and if he doesn't come in, issue a subpoena to make him up. >> elliott, do you think we could actually see bill barr and jeff sessions testify, and could there be prosecutions as a result? >> well, i mean, the challenges, it will be -- as manu's reporting said, it will be hard for the subpoenas, because the senate doesn't have unilateral subpoena authority. now, there is a long history of negotiation between the justice department, the white house and congress, over testimony and appearances, you know do they issue written testimony, do they come in for a deposition? whatever. i would like to think that they will, they should. at a minimum, you know, the house can bring them in, too. and schiff and jerry nadler of the house judiciary committee does have the power to issue a subpoena. you're far more likely to see that. >> what does president biden say about, white house jen psaki spoke and had this response

stop the finger-pointing do what we need to do including, as chairman durbin has been doing for years, a green that we need immigration reform in our country. do the work of a green, you can't just react to a problem without solving it at its roots. we agree to that. when i think about what i have heard and saw today, i will tell you reaffirming of everything i heard in guatemala. everything i discussed in mexico about the partnership between the u.s. and mexico to invest in the root causes. seeing that there is a very clear and direct connection, it literally is direct and clear but i will tell you one of the things that every place has been people don't want. >> no not. [inaudible] >> i am meeting with a lot of folks and the work we have become is going to be ongoing. there's no question, and i said this from the very beginning our issue has to be a commitment to long-term investment has to be a commitment consistency. united states has to be consistent. there were times when we work more engaged and we saw great results. less engaged and we can see where the work in partnership det

she was joined by the home and security secretary, senator dick durbin, and congresswoman veronica escobar. >> this has been a great trip to el paso. >> they are fleeing some harm or they cannot provide for their families. that believe whether it was when i met with children who are unaccompanied minors or i met with leaders who have been on the ground in el paso for many, many years. protecting those who are immigrating to the united states and crossing this border. my trip to guatemala and mexico was about addressing the root causes. the interactions that we had -- lack of economic opportunity. violence. corruption. security. cartels. gang violence. the work that we have to do is the work of addressing the cause, the root causes. otherwise we'll continue to see all the effects that are happening at the border. we have been doing comprehensive approach that acknowledges each piece of this. informed also by the recognition that the united states is a neighbor in the western hemisphere and not donnel we have a reason to -- at the border because we live in that nablede neighborhood, the hemi

here is durbin responding to leader mcconnell's comments.ip] >> could not help but listen to the republican leader as he came to the floor and talked about david chipman, a man who will be brought to the floor. he was considered today. 11 democrats and one republican, split along party lines on his boat, as expected. senator schumer can still bring his nomination to the floor. it is no surprise that the republicans opposed him. let's put it in context for a moment. how many times have you heard a gun debate and heard someone say we do not need any new laws, we just need to enforce the laws we have? do not dream up some new law that is going to burden someone who is an innocent, law-abiding gun owner. enforce the laws we have. so what agency do we look to when it comes to enforcement? certainly the department of justice. where do they turn? to atf. that is the agency that is supposed to keep an eye on how guns are being sold. let's take a look at the leader of the agency under president trump. i would like to give you his name or her name, bu

the durbin amendment was enacted in 2010 to protect small community banks and consumers.hat would cause interchange to be squeezed. in fact, visa and mastercard were increasing interchange but obviously put those plans on hold because of the pandemic and i think that was the right thing to do. ashley: and jason, i wanted to mention this. you do operate outside of the u.s.. what kind of potential does that present and how advanced are these payment systems around the globe? >> so today, we process $60 billion in volume in the u.s.. it's $6.7 trillion of carded volume in the u.s. , $30 trillion globally so as you can imagine, the opportunity outside the united states is tremendous and only 2% of our revenue is derived from interchange outside the u.s. , and interesting fact is that interchange is far more regulated and far lower than we experienced in the united states , so we derive actually revenue through other types of services and methods. there are no real marqeta's outside of the united states where we're based but we do operate in 36 countries and growing, so we loo

. >> chuck schumer and the dick durbin, the number two democrat, they are clear, they want bill barrnd jeff sessions to come before the senate judiciary committee and testify, that's the first time you're hearing that from democrats who control congress, control each chamber and have the power to schedule hearings and invite witnesses and we'll see how this plays out. they're also threatening in the statement they put out, saying if they refuse they're subject to being subpoenaed. the senate has procedures that require also bipartisan support in some cases for subpoenas. we'll have to see whether republicans agree with this as well but no doubt there's going to be a lot of questions being asked, not just of the past administration but also the current administration. i'm told from committee officials on the house intelligence committee, the ones hit by the subpoenas, the two individuals, eric swalwell, adam schiff, their records being seized, they have a lot of questions to the justice department under merrick garland, about what exactly happened, how many people were targeted, what

dick durbin, chair of the judiciary committee, thank you. this could be a busy day in your neck of the woods. >> i hope it will be productive as well. >> thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you. >>> would you look at that, congress caught doing something, right? >> it got caught. they got caught doing something. again, he didn't say either deal is done. >> that's right. no, it's very important point. >> on infrastructure there seems to be some kind of deal that was done maybe, because the white house had people there yesterday. it would be weird if they had people there yesterday and the senators went to the white house today and they didn't get something. but we'll see. >> great interview, by the way. >>> coming up, britney spears speaking up, a passionate plea to the judge. you'll want to see this. ♪ we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insura

senate democrats including the chairman of the senate judiciary committee tommy durbin are calling onboth testify about what happened. democratic leader chuck schumer and dick durbin let out a -- vigorously investigate this abuse of power. but they say if barr and sessions on agreed to testify voluntarily they will subpoena them. but, with a senate that is divided between democrats and republicans 50/50, at least one republican senator would have to side with the democrats on that committee in order to issue such a subpoena. good luck with that. on the house side though the democrats are just plainly in charge there, there would be no need for republican votes if a house committee wanted to issue that kind of a subpoena for their testimony. but are the house democrats going to open their own investigation and demand that kind of testimony? turns out to be very interesting question. in the house, the chairman of their judiciary committee is -- and he did not just plainly announced today the day they did in the senate that they would open an investigation into what happened here. they a

today senate majority leader chuck schumer and judiciary chairman dick durbin threatened subpoena william barr and jeff sessions to testify before congress about trump's undemocratic order. and under pressure from democrats in congress the justice department announced today its internal watchdog will open an investigation into the trump effort. keep in mind this happened in 2017. this abuse of power then wasn't some frantic action of an embattled president during his final days. trump wanted the justice department to bend to his will when republicans still controlled the house, and adam schiff now the intel committee chairman was just the most senior democrat on the committee. this was pre-impeachment number one, well before the second impeachment. this was before democrats even began investigating trump in the house. three years before trump lost the 2020 election. this is just who donald trump is. this is who donald trump has always been, a man unmoored by morality, principle and any sense of fair play, a man only looking out for himself. so now you know what i mean. if you're not payin

. >> dick durbin the senate democratic whip told my colleague this earlier in the year, one heart beat based on a 50/50 senate and vice president harris's tie-breaking vote and durbin said it. we are one heart beat away. if some senator gets sick and the democratic senator gets sick they lose their majority. all of a sudden the ability to confirm justice breyer's replacement next summer all of a sudden comes in doubt. so there are a lot of progressives, a lot of regular old democrats, who would just like to see him retire now. he just wrote the opinion on health care. go out on top. retire now so they can quickly replace him with a younger progressive, and not get into the situation they were with justice ginsburg where they were waiting and waiting and time ran out in a bad situation for liberals. >> the message, retire now, was literally in the newspapers, in politico, a full page ad telling justice breyer, time to get out of here. but the reason for that is because of this from the minority leader mitch mcconnell in the senate, who is playing hardball on the issue of whether they wi

on the senate floor, judiciary committee chair dick durbin in april talked about racial disparities intencing during the war on drugs and during the current opioid epidemic. here is what he had to say. >> at the same time as we grapple with the opioid epidemic, we are also in the midst of a national reckoning about racism and mass incarceration in america. we hold more prisoners by far than any country in the world. this is largely due to our failed war on drugs which disproportionately targeted people of color. while the majority of illegal drug users and dealers in our country are white, the vast majority of people incarcerated for drug offences are african-american or latino. that's a fact. more than three decades ago, and i remember this well, i served in the house at the time, congress responded to the dramatic rise of the use of crack cocaine by dramatically increasing sentences for nonviolent drug offenders. for example, we had a sentencing guideline for crack cocaine as opposed to powder cocaine of 100 to 1. 100 to 1. that was it, we were going to get tough, we were going to se
