>> thank you, ranking member grassley. absolutely recidivism is an important factor in how the senate should move forward. as i mentioned, crack offenders residvate at the highest level of all federal drug offenders, crack traffickers i should say, and what we're talking about really is that these people are going back into their communities and revictimizing the members of their community. it is i think an oversimplification to focus solely on disparate impact based on race. you have to consider the fact that the disproportionate negative impact of addiction and violence that flows from crack cocaine on primarily the african-american community and also needs to be considered and recidivism only magnifies that problem for communities of color. >> i'll go back to your comment senator grassley we must prioritize public safety at all times. everything must be viewed through the lens of prioritizing public safety. we have a tremendous amount of data released under the first step act, very low recidivism rates to begin with. we

grassley's, questions. >> thank you. i'm quite certain that our ranking members questions are much more value added than mine. it's an extraordinary privilege to sit at this table in this room before the committee. it's also an extraordinary privilege to sit with this particular witness panel with mr. charles and his story of redemption. with mr. garcia who represents an entity, hida, it's one of those acronyms that matter in terms of saving lives and empowering federal, state and local aggressive drug task force efforts. i applaud him for his 30 years of public service. it's also a real privilege to sit with someone who represents our nations assistant united states attorney's. as your former colleague, then attorney general sessions would say, they are the coin of the realm. they are the coin of the realm in implementing with this committee and congress passes. they do an amazing job serving our country. so it's a real privilege, gentlemen. this room, this beautiful wood paneled room, is very far from louisville, kentu

thank you, senator grassley. theio work together is a body of work i'm most proud of on the elements and procedures today there is noo fundamental disagreement and i look forward to working with you to have a complete hearing on all the important issues that face us. i will now turn to the chair on the criminal justice and counterterrorism for an opening statement. i thank you for the opportunity to speak for a brief time at the top of the hearing i would like to submit my formal opening remarks for the record. i want to share with my colleagues, you know, there is guiding principles to the country where we aspire to the highest idea of humanity to do justice and love mercy they violate those ideas in the way that iit can't identify living n different types of communitieses and i grew up in a wealthy community where my family was the only black family there and communities of wealth and privilege i saul drug use and know lotsti of people violating the laws and i see the same human frailties but it's very differen

this week he told reporters chuck grassley still gets up at 4 a.m. every day and often goes for a 2 mile run. i don't know why he would put his bathroom that far away. for those of you fitness-heads saying, two mile run? do you even lift, chuck? don't worry, broseph, because the 87-year-old does push-ups, too. well, i'm pretty good at the push up game myself. watch this: jim? (exaggerated grunting) thank you and to anyone doubting his push-up prowess, grassley asked reporters: you want me to do 35 for you? i know he's trying to seem young and vital, but nothing screams old man like randomly asking people to watch you exercise. (as old man) happy graduation, kiddo. you know, i'm still a young buck myself. let's strip down to our union suits, grease up, and greco- roman wrestle. but what the hell, if 87-year old chuck grassley is throwing out a push-up challenge, then i gotta step up. i hope you're watching, chuck grassley, because i accept your offer. you and me, head to head, and i will watch you do 35 pushups. i may be 56 years old for two more days

only chuck grassley came out and said, investigating members of congress, not unusual. true. but it's usually because there's proof that you are using to initiate curiosity. not the opposite. we have a lot to discuss with the next member of congress. he's on the right side of the aisle. he met with president trump yesterday. he has a beef of his own and, by the way, i got a small beef with him which will take care of first. let's get after it next.

i recognize senator grassley. sen. grassley: thank you mr.irman, thanks to all of our witnesses that will be testifying today and answering our questions. today's hearing addresses a topic of interest to many members of congress and americans around the country. it is an important issue for me because like you mr. chairman, i have worked to find a legislative solution to addressing the daca populations. in 2018 i did just that when i introduce the secure and succeed act with several members of this committee. i know this is an issue of great importance to you, and i know that you have been leading bipartisan discussions in recent weeks to try and reach an agreement. as ranking member of this committee, i look forward to participating in those discussions moving forward. i would like to take two brief points that i would like to make about the ongoing debate over legal status of undocumented young people brought here as children. i start with the assumption that children brought here by their parents did not violate our laws, but their parents

does chuck grassley agree? get at me as a public health official and a scientist. you really are attacking dr. anthony fauci and you're attacking science. anybody that looks at what is going on clearly sees that. you have to be asleep not to see that. that is what is going on. science is being attacked. >> neil: dr. fauci's remarks on attacking him is completely attacking science. we thought we would go to a felly that served with him. you remember this gentlemen, admiral brett giroir. very good to have you here, admiral. what did you make of what dr. fauci said there? >> so the american people are not attacking or arguing with science. the american people are arguing with and frustrated by unsubstantiated opinions that masquerade as scientific fact. when these supposed scientific facts change over time, there's a loss of trust. what do you expect? look back last year when we were all told and dr. fauci said, all the data points to covid being of natural origin. it happened in a bat and got transmitted to a hum

senator grassley is exactly right.f the narrative that members of congress of can never or should never be investigated. they and their staffs can commit crimes right? there is nothing new here. what is new is the behavior of president trump and the closely inappropriate behavior of the justice department and appearing at a minimum to happy carry that out. now, congress ought to be the body to be investigating any of this wrongdoing. another statement that got issued just yesterday, amara, was senator schumer and ddsenator durbin the chair of senate judiciary committee calling for subpoenas in this. that's the way congress ought to be working. they are the body with the authority to initiate subpoenas when there's wrongdoing in the justice department. the problem you that see from senator grassley's statement is the rank partisanship that has hurt congress to be an impartial body. if really this were a boxing match, i would say point schumer and durbin. they are right. they ought to call in the former attorney general

pat mentioned that there was a recent poll of, would you really support grassley, or give grassley another chance again? they did the same thing to me 20,013. they overwhelmingly said, give a new person. chance when the election came along in 2014, i won by the biggest margin ever and carried 98 of 99 counties. so, don't believe the des moines register because the people of iowa know that chuck grassley is the hardest working senator. and i'll tell -- i'll never forget the last election. in addition to running from your home to the dome would else do you do for exercise? he takes his coat off and starts doing pushups. and after 22 he says, is that enough? >> can i stop? yeah. >> i will tell you what, we have the hardest working, most conscientious, dedicated senator. and along with governor reynolds, he deserves to be reelected. >> a man. i told you to quit doing those pushups when i was at a dance with. him i was afraid that they were going to make all of us get down on our knees into pushups. so -- >> i can tell you what one headline will be tomorrow. republican leaders settle about thei

senator grassley. >> thank you to all of you for your testimony. you discuss the voice office during the trumpet ministration so to announce changes to the office that appeared to dismantle it. so can you describe in a little more detail how the office help your family and other families that have lost loved ones to crimes by illegal immigrants and why it is important to maintain it? >> as i said in my testimony, for me it was a place i felt i could go and get answers. i am grateful for the state that i live in because i have a lot of support from my senators and congressmen. however come if i did not that support it's nice to have the office to call to get updates dealing with edwin. and other families that i know that use that voice also feel the same way. it was nice to have a contact that could direct them on what they needed to do or help them so when you are mourning the loss of a loved one you don't know where to turn. so there was a way for us to get the answers and the help that we needed. >> and your testimony you point out the facts of t

>> well, i would disagree, profoundly, with senator grassley.es, there have been, as andy can attest, there have been investigations of individual members of congress. normally, for suspicion of criminal activity. but not like this. and the -- the sweeping nature of this. this is quite different. and i -- you know, shocking, stunning, but not surprising. we often find ourselves revelations of abuse of power by the trump administration. and i fear -- i'm sure, there is a lot more to this. and there will be other examples that are going to come out, over time. >> andy, i want to read another portion of "the new york times" reporting, which they say is part and parcel of the newly-revealed investigation into congressman schiff. and leaks in press reports that made donald trump look bad. quote, the white house was adamant that the sources be found and prosecuted. and the justice department began a broad look at national-security officials from the obama administration. that's according to five people, briefed on the inquiry. while most officials wer

but i want to say something about senator grassley.he des moines register recently did a poll would you support reelecting senator grassley or give a new person a chance. they did the same thing to me in the year 2013 and the people overwhelmingly said give the new person a chance but when the election came along in 2014, i won by the biggest margin ever and carried 98 of 99 counties. so don't believe the des moines register because the people of iowa know chuck grassley is the hardest working senator and i will never forget the last election -- in addition to running from your home to the dome, what else do you do? he takes his coat off and starts doing push-ups and after 22, he says is that enough? so, i will tell you what -- we have the hardest working, most conscientious, dedicated senator and along with governor reynolds, he deserves to be reelected. [applause] gov. reynolds: i told him to quit doing those push-ups when i was at an event with him. terry: i can tell you what the headline it will not be -- republican leaders subtle

ranking member grassley. members of the committee.i sit here before you today, i can't help but recall my confirmation hearing as uscis director now more more than sev years ago. i remember pretty much every question senator grassley asked and every question senator durbin and feinstein asked, and that day for me was one of the joyous days of my life because as the child of refugees from cuba who was born just a month after they fled that dictatorship, it was in many respect a miracle for me to be here. in fact the vague ease of u.s. law means i could have grown up in that freedomship, rather than the u.s. i remember the topic seven years ago was the same topic we are talking about today. we were talking about the southern border and talking about daca and the dream act. i was not surprised to hear senator durbin early this morning cite to a version of the dream act being introduced 20 years ago, in other words, we have been trying to tackle this issue through separate legislation dealing with the plight of the undocumented, as well a

great team work all around. >> jesse: grassley challenge president biden.let's see it, president. that's a challenge. >> greg: great point. >> jesse: "special report" is up next with bret who can also do pushups we think. >> bret: yes, but i want one of those gutfeld shirts. good evening. i'm bret baier. breaking tonight, former defense secretary donald rumsfeld has died. rumsfeld served under four presidents and worked nearly a quarter century in corporate america. six decades had in public service for the country. we will have complete coverage in a moment. first, some of the other headlines today. comedian bill cosby is a free man tonight. he was released from prison a few hours ago after the pennsylvania supreme

you heard the statement from senator grassley. >> i did. >> what is your reaction to that?well, it is not exactly accurate. so investigations of members of congress are not new, they happened before. they typically happen around issues about public corruption, bribery, things like that, those cases are targeted as individuals. the legal process might be served in those cases is specific, targeted, always sensitive, briefed to the highest levels of both the fbi and department of justice. i think the senator is trying to make the scene as if it is an ordinary, everyday matter, and it is not. >> the fact is a leak investigation involving a sitting member of congress, have you heard of anything like that? >> i in my experience have not seen one. i was involved in one leak investigation about a staff member of a committee. >> the wolf case? >> yes, which has been concluded, is public information. other than that, not aware of any. >> for viewers watching now, help us put it in perspective, how extraordinary this is. the fbi we should note is the one that would investigate, right

his, chuck grassley's support for a subpoena is important because what the democratic chairman wantsrd former attorney general bill barr, former attorney general jeff sessions, and others and have them testify under oath. in order to get a subpoena in the senate, you need bipartisan support to do that. so if grassley and other republicans oppose it, presumably they would not be able to issue a subpoena. the house side is different. the house does have its rules that a majority basis they can issue a subpoena, and yesterday nancy pelosi, the speaker, made very clear she does want to hear from those two individuals in particular under oath. so watch for that push to intensify. this comes as a lot of questions about why exactly these subpoenas were issued. there's so many questions here, but the pattern here suggests that the president, former president, was going after potentially his critics. news organizations he frequently targeted, as well as two democratic congressmen, adam shift, eric swalwell, and we learned don mcghan, former white house counsel, who we do know he tried to get

i think chuck grassley and myself have a number of bills that i think can get across the finish line.here are other folks as well that feel strongly on this. let me tell you something, i come from rural america. i've watched it dry up for all 64 years of my life. i've watched consolidation in the sector takeaway markets, take away opportunity and competition and then you add in the have gone jbs here a week or ten days ago, which messes up our food chain for consumers as well. i think it really is time to take a look and see what we can do to make sure that folks are operating appropriately, and incentivize the small processes to be able to get in the game and be competitive at moral markets and move the ball forward, while, by the, way on the other side of the equation with cyber, we start expecting companies, if not requiring them to report the cyberattacks in a timely basis to our intel community, to our cyber calm so that >> we can find out who these folks are and hold them accountable. yeah, i think the head of jbs just said a few minutes ago they did pay a ransom of about $11 mi

i saw senator chuck grassley complaining about it the other day. is different from getting bipartisan legislation. is there any progress there? >> i think there can be and i think chuck grassley and myself have a number of bills that i think can get across the finish line. i think there are other folks too that feel strongly on this issue. let me tell you something. i come from rural america. i've watched rural america dry up for all 64 years of my life. i've watched consolidation take away markets, opportunity and competition. then you add in the hack on jbs a week or ten days ago, which screws up our food chain for consumers too. i think it really is time to take a look and see what we can do to make sure that folks are operating appropriately and be able to incentivize the small processors to be able to get in the game and be competitive, add more markets and move the ball forward while, by the way, on the other side of the equation with cyber, we start expecting companies if not requiring companies to report these cyber attacks on a timely basi

chuck grassley is coming up, iowa senator. stay with us.you? one! two! three! four! five! 72,807! 72,808... dollars. yep... everything hurts. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> neil: all right. cdc panel looking into the heart-related issues that have popped up for some young people taking these various vaccines. steve harrigan has more from atlanta. hi, steve. >> the panel told the cdc there's a link between myocarditis and inflammation of the heart. the numbers are small. 300 cases out of 200 million. no one died. usually recovered after rest and the symptoms setting in generally within a week of the second shot. this comes just as health officials are trying to get more younger people vaccinated and the gap across the u.s. as far as region goes continues when it comes to the pace of vaccinations. some northeastern states, vermont, has a higher than 60% of its residents have been fully vaccinated. other states like mississippi still below 30%. there's concerns with those variants especially the delta va

yes, chuck grassley says investigations of members of congress are nothing new. but why? you don't investigate them in search of proof to show they did something wrong. you have proof they did something wrong and then you continue to investigate. well, these were subpoenas from a grand jury. there you have it. no, that's the beginning. but you have the same people who are asked to do this say that they weren't getting any proof and we're told to continue. that's the part that matters. his own department of justice targeted his political opponents. including this house intel committee member. >> i hope trump supporters who fear big brother see that donald trump was the biggest brother we've ever seen in our country who did weaponize this to go all the way down the stack into, you know, the private communications of people he perceived as political opponents. >> trump's like nixon. trump's like nixon. don't do that to nixon. trump is worse. he didn't use the doj like this. this makes watergate look like jaywalking. what else don't we know about what they were up to? he was

senator booker and then will have senator grassley.enator booker. >> thank thank you very mucm chairman. i would like to put questions with my friend dr. hendrickson. code would really showed how fragile our food system is. we saw the system breakdown in pretty stunning waste their consumers would pay higher prices for meet while ranchers were paid less for the cattle but they consolidated companies really made record profits. covid didn't create this probably it will shine a light on in many of the witnesses who testified talked about how there is really record concentration going on right now in the meatpacking industry. companies like tyson, , cargill, jbs and national beef control more than 80% of all the u.s. beef processing. i've been concerned about these extreme levels of concentration for years and passion i've introduce a number of bills to try to deal with that, with multiple colors on both sides of the outer senator tester by put together a bill that would stop these ag mergers, put a moratorium on the. i've introduce anoth

grassley: i ask that the calling of the quorum be suspended. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. grassley: we've been told by the majority party that soon we will be having a vote on an 800-page bill to change 50 state voting laws for one federal law. this bill is called the for people act. it was compiled after the 2018 elections to call into question legitimacy of democratic elections for partisan political purposes. if it had been a serious attempt at legislating, there would have been some outreach to some republicans because it takes 60 votes, a bipartisan vote, to get anything through the united states senate. in that process, there would have been consultation also with local elected officials. the election officials that conduct the state elections, to make sure it was workable. there would have been hearings in the congress. there would have been revisions from the bill originally introduced. the fact that back in 2018 when it was introduced is the fact that it was intended as political propaganda, and that's betrays the absu

we heard chuck grassley put out a press release today saying, you know, this goes on. this goes on all the time. i'm all in favor of finding out about illegal leaks so we should, you know, we should keep on doing that. as maggie pointed out, this is different. these are two members of congress. both of them were targets of donald trump's. so this is very different, and, you know, it's very clear from looking at all of this and looking at the history is that, you know, donald trump treated the justice department like they were just a part of the trump organization and i think while barr at some points may have tried to keep his distance, there was no getting away from what the president of the united states was demanding. in fact, he fired jeff session because jeff sessions said, you know, i don't work for you. i work for the american people. >> maggie, there are so many different angles to this and it's deeply serious but there is a present and future political angle here, as well. we're talking about the person who facto leader of the republican party in the future bu

one person to keep an eye on here is chuck grassley, ranking member of the judiciary committee. he is one known to have taken his role seriously under the president of both parties. we have speaker pelosi telling our friends at cnn earlier today that the house will subpoena william barr and jeff sessions, the two former attorneys general, and have them in the house to testify under oath about this. we'll see how this develops. we haven't heard a whole lot from republicans yet, but it remains to be seen as to whether this is something congress takes more seriously or if it just gets wrapped up in the latest slew of partisan politics. >> sahil, help me understand something. it is possible iran was being targeted as an individual. it's also possible he got swept up in a broader probe, is that right? >> it may be that what they were investigating, considering there was justification for the search warrants. it could be he got called by somebody who was already investigating. it doesn't mean this is normal. this is not normal, and i think the investigation is absolutely critical. hol

great team work all around. >> jesse: grassley challenge president biden. he is always talking about how he can do all these pushups. let's see it, president. that's a challenge. >> greg: great point. >> jesse: "special report" is up next with bret who can also do pushups we think. >> bret: yes, but i want one of those gutfeld shirts. good evening. i'm bret baier. breaking tonight, former defense secretary donald rumsfeld has died. rumsfeld served under four presidents and worked nearly a quarter century in corporate america. six decades had in public service for the country. we will have complete coverage in a moment. first, some of the other headlines today. comedian bill cosby is a free man tonight. he was released from prison a few hours ago after the pennsylvania supreme court overturned his sexual assault conviction. cosby did appear in front of reporters late today but did not speak to the media. former president donald trump says the situation along the southern border is worse than it has ever been in u.s. history. he toured the area today with the

chuck grassley or another republican signing off on that.ve that yet and chuck grassley came out last week saying, essentially, they didn't have that much concern about what was happening here. normal for these investigations to take place. other republicans have been quiet about this. we'll see what comes up with these dmmtic push to investigate. maybe not a whole lot. >> if this were about the obama administration or hillary clinton's emails, they'd be quiet. we know that. it's the saturday part of it. we don't know a lot because these are secret subpoenas. at roughly the time this was all playing out the president of the united states at that time spoke out quite publicly about things that made him mad. >> i've actually called the justice department to look into the leaks. those are criminal leaks. the leaks are real. you know what they said. you saw it. and the leaks are absolutely real. the news is fake. because so much of the news is fake. we're going to find the leakers. we're going to find the leakers. they're going to pay a big pric

center booker and then senator grassley. center booker. >> thank you very much madam chairwoman. like to ask a question toward my friends dr. henderson. it shows how fragile our food system is and we have seen the system break down and thumbing ways. consumers are paying higher prices for beef but the big consolidated companies really made record profits. copail didn't. this problem but shined a light on what was going on and that he would testify talked about how there is record concentration going on right now in the meatpacking industry. companies like cargill jbs the national may control moreat than 80% of all the u.s. beef processing. i've been concerned about the mobile concentration for years and as you know have introduced a number of bills to try to deal with that and multiple colleagues on both sides the aisle. senator tester and i put together a bill that would stop ag more jars and put an oral moratorium on them which would make reforms to the packers stockier tax by including meat packer ownership of livestock and the requirement for meatpackers to buy 50% of all cat

senator grassley is tied up. senator corwin and senator menendez. >> thank you, madam secretary, for joining us today. first of all, i wanted to ask you when it comes to a global minimum tax with the g7, where do you and the administration see that congress has been? >> any agreement that we are able to reach, the g7 is just one group, and an important group that's expressed support for this approach. the largest group involved is the oecd. negotiations have been going on there for many years. anything that affects u.s. tax law must be enacted by u.s. congress, so congress plays a critical role. >> thank you. the administration has proposed to make spending for the irs mandatory spending, but as you know, the appropriations process is an important part of congressional oversight into agencies like the irs. are you endorsing this idea that congress will be removed from oversight of the internal revenue service? >> no, i have no such thought. i think it's important that congress have oversight of all executive bran

senator chuck grassley. he issued a statement in part saying investigations to members of congress and staff are nothing new, especially for classified leaks. now his position is important because in the senate judiciary committee it requires bipartisan support in order to issue a subpoena. all republicans could denied democrats' permission for a subpoena. that's different on the house side. the democrats who are in the majority can do just that. they want to hear from merrick garland. get them to provide information to their committee. they are frustrated they haven't gotten enough information from the biden justice department about an investigation that happened under trump. >>> the white house is calling out the trump administration's, quote, abuse of power. on friday communications director kate benningsfield said biden has a very different relationship with the doj than his predecessor. jake tapper was told biden is appalled by the news. >> let me be absolutely clear, the behavior, these actions the pre
