as well as senator grassley who is with us. who has been such a leader when it comes to this competition issues. thank you for being here, senator grassley. this is the latest in the competition policy committee hearings, examining american monopoly problems. today, we will focus on the lack of competition in our prescription drug markets. the stakes could not be higher. according to the center for care services, health care spending accounted for 17.7 percent of growth in 2019. more than 16 of the american economy. that is projected to rise to 19.7% by 2028. rising prescription drug prices is a key driver in those numbers. but, it is not just about gdp. it is also about the all too real human cost we will hear about today. for some, the ability to access prescription drugs is what enables them to work, care for their families and loved ones. to just get through the day without excruciating pain. for others, access to prescription drugs is nothing less than a matter of life or death. nearly 20%, member this, forget all the othe

how does this go over, this stuff that's happening with chuck grassley?e, we've been talking about what happened on one six. and the fact that senator grassley was someone who should have known better, who should have known to push back against the lies. and not only the lies that day, that led to my friends and former colleagues get attacked by a violent mob that was fed disinformation and lies. he actually pushed those compares the theories himself. and when we talk about that, the folks that come up to me afterwards, they have tears in their eyes and they go, what happened to the guy? how did he become this? and i don't have answers for them. i don't know why he has decided to give up on democracy like this. but i will tell you, we will defeat him. because again, you do not get to talk about democracy in the way that he has, you do not get to subverted the way that he has. and at the same time that you are keep going to get reelected. that's not how this works, not what we did what we did in 2018, where we flipped seats, we actually won statewide in th

also this week grassley offered a shameful defense of what trump was doing in the run-up to january 6em overturn the presidential election. >> this country has had to deal with democrats' obsession with destroying trump for much too long. in the process, i fear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have done and will do lasting damage to our political system. the president has every right to discuss ideas and strategies with his closest advisers. the president, whether that president is democratic or republican, should feel unrestrained to bring ideas to his closest staff for robust discussion. >> for robust discussion. joining us now is former democratic congress woman, running for senate in iowa in 2022. that was, that was -- you know, there are times i was saying to the team producing the show, that there's times in the past when you look at chuck grassley who see him as an elder statesman, midwestern in a way but normal. to show unrestrained robust discussion, that was not what donald trump was doing when he was talking to rosen and donohue. it was telling them to say that

grassley. someone has to say, wait a minute. you do not need to bar all that money or there is another way to do this or perhaps you need to reassess the whole situation. they do not have that kind of counseling. it is university selling student loans from the government, and students, many of them with no life experience, and no reliable parent, the parents may never have been to college themselves, it puts us in this predicament many times. so i think we're moving the conversation in the right direction and i think the panel for being here. sen. grassley: i want people to think about whether it is done by a government decision or by the bankruptcy courts, if student loan debt was forgiven, more than half of that money would float to families in the upper 40% of income for your the top 25% of household in the united states with incomes above $173,000 now holding 34% of all outstanding debt. my question is, what are your thoughts on the immediate student loan forgiveness and do you believe that

grassley. members of the committee. for that invitation to you to your committee. i am excited to contribute to the discussion of potential bipartisan game changing reform for student loan borrowers. i thank the chairman for putting force -- putting forth this measure. the illinois attorney general's office has experience dealing with the burden of debt that student loans a on consumers. our office received 700 complaints in 2019 about higher education, most concerning for-profit schools and student loans and these schools target low income students and their federal student loans that are incredibly and unnecessarily difficult for the students to discharge in bankruptcy and as a result, students are burdened with loans that many will never pay off in their lifetimes. the loans negatively impact student abilities to make important decisions. americans hold $1.7 trillion in student loan debt. nearly 30% of federal student loan borrowers default within 12 years of entering college. a major contri

we saw even just last week senator grassley step up on to the u.s.and continue to defend trump's lies, and months before that pushed conspiracy theories about arizona. that's the type of stuff we cannot see happening in our country from u.s. senators. it is why we have to defeat these folks, and it is why we need everybody with us. please go to abbiefinkenauer.com and join us because we have got to win and we have to make sure these folks are held accountable. >> let me play some of your ad, which i think is pretty vivid in terms of how and why this is so personal to you. >> it was just a bench, but to a 17-year-old congressional page it was literally my front-row seat to democracy in action, and on january 6th when i saw that bench standing between a violent mob and the u.s. house chamber i knew the world had changed, and it changed me. you see, it is politicians like senator grassley and mitch mcconnell, they think they own democracy, and they were silent when it was attacked. they've turned their backs on democracy and on us. >> you know, i watch

i got do hand it to chuck grassley. he is 87 and he is doing a pretty good job there.cotton. look at that form! get your head up, man! touching the ground with your hair doesn't count. we're you never in eighth grade? to be fair, it's hard to keep your back straight when you don't have a spine. ( cheers and applause ) ( piano riff ) but when it-- is the piano okay? >> jon: yeah, see that? ( piano riff ) you got to get it, get it! >> stephen: but when it comes to news-making stunts to raise your presidential profile, cotton was overshadowed by south dakota governor and beauty pageant mom calling your toddler fat, kristi noem.laught ) tto the southeorder. ohgood for too long, immigrants have been sneaking in from nebraska! ( laughter ) what's that? what's that? i'm pretending i'm being told she sent them to the mexican border. wait, the governor of south dakota can do that? is that really what the founders intended? she should ask them. they're from south dakota, too. >> hell, no! >> come on! >> kristi noem's dumb as a rock! ( laughter ) >> stephen: but the strangest and

so with our colleagues senators cornyn and grassley have groused the september -- have introduced the september 11 transparency act. and it wouldn't require the declass nation of any document, but it would require the review and it is not unprecedented because this congress seven years ago passed and president obama signed the intelligence authorization act for the fiscal year 2014. it had a similar provision requiring the director of national intelligence to complete a declass nation review -- declassification review of documents collected during the osama bin laden raid in pakistan in 2011. this measure should have broad bipartisan support just as the resolution calling for declassification in 2018 and i've been proud to stand with my republican colleagues in favor of simple justice as senator schumer said today at that meeting in front of the capitol, justice, justice, justice. that's what these families deserve. that's what the american people should expect of their government, not concealment or obstruction and obfuscation. right now these families are in a struggle against the g

grassley proposes an amendment numbered 3650. mr. grassley: this amendment creates a deficit neutral reserve fund for legislation that would prevent illegal immigrants with criminal records from obtaining lawful permanent residence status in our country. pretty simple. prohibiting illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or pending criminal charges from receiving legal status in the united states should be a very easy call. it shouldn't be very controversial. i urge my colleagues to support it. reserve my time. mr. durbin: madam president? the presiding officer: the democratic whip. mr. durbin: madam president, the grassley amendment would exclude from a path to citizenship any undocumented immigrant who's been convicted of any crime or who has been merely charged with a crime. this is a broad exclusion. it applies to any criminal conviction no matter how long ago it took place, how minor the crime, and to my criminal charge, even if the individual is ultimately exonerated. this exclusion is also unnecessary because every legaliz

grassley: i ask that the calling of the quorum be suspended. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. grassley: i'm reducing the survivors bill of rights in the states act of 2021, this measure, which senator shaheen has joined me in sponsoring, builds on an initiative in which the two of us worked together in 2016. entitled the survivors bill of rights act that earlier legislation cleared the senate judiciary committee in june of 2016 during my tenure as a chairman. the house of representatives introduced a similar package of rights some months later and that version was enacted in the fall of 2016 with my strong support. the 2016 statute provides very important rights for victims of sexual violence, but that act only accomplishes those cases that are federal. such rights include, for example, the right to know the results of your forensic exam, the right to have evidence preserved for a certain period, and lastly, the right to knots before your forensic -- right to notice before your forensic kit is destroyed. amanda wynn is leading the

senator chuck grassley put out -- a tweet saying when it comes to taxes, there is no mileage tax or amnesty in the bill. it doesn't raise taxes. we kept those things out. my focus is in investing infrastructure for iowa's future. this bill does just that. we will see how he ended the other senators played out with the expected vote for today. james, a democrat from maryland. hello. >> the guy before made a good point. he was talking about the year without the summer. a lot of people when they talk about global warming or whatever you want to call it now, a lot of people don't call about -- don't talk about geo-engineering, seating the clouds, stratosphere injections, solar management. none of these things are brought into the conversations. >> why do you think that needs to be? >> all of these are factors into, when you have clouds se eding in front of hurricanes, you will have harder rain that dumps down in a smaller area. just that alone should be brought into the conversation. >> one of the pieces of news coming out this morning looks at information expected from the 2020 census. this is

and i know that senator grassley is devoted to this, as is, actually, senator blackburn, in moving this bill forward. republicans are constantly coming up to me on everything from cattle prices to grocers to what's happening with pharma, and so we are gonna have to break down -- what i think we'll have to do -- my bill, 'cause i don't believe in monopolies. i'm willing to break it up into sections that we have republican support on and keep pushing through different things. and i was so pleased with that hearing because, yes, we have different -- strong differences of opinions about why we have problems in this country, and they tend to go on this content issue and, "liberals work at tech," and that kind of stuff. i just think, "we're not gonna get consensus on that." and i don't agree with them, so let's move forward on the stuff we do agree on, which is, how do we stop exclusionary conduct, and how do we change the merger standard going forward, and how do we make sure the agencies are funded so they can actually do their jobs? those are three basic things we can do. >> so conservativ

grassley: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. mr.rassley: last week judiciary staff interviewed jeffrey rosen, trump's former acting attorney general, and mr. rosen's deputy at the justice department, rich donahue. these interviews were done as part of the democrats' never-ending series of investigations into former president trump. their obsession with him has been very consistent. i'll give them that. so, too, are the democrats' public comments that grossly mischaracterize -- at least for now -- the state of the evidence. i'll start with a little history. this country has had to deal with democrats' obsession with destroying trump for much too long. in the process, i fear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have done and will do lasting damage to our political system. for example, in may 2017, then-ranking member feinstein and i met with then-director comey about crossfire hurricane. at that classified briefing, comey said trump was not under investigation. but that didn't stop the democrats from publicly saying that trump

this was a democratic run committee and chairman chuck grassley of iowa was running it with a stern hand and he had mitch mcconnell behind him virtually pulling the string so it was not -- the democrats didn't have the ability to pass any of these things was such a travesty and debbie really didn't think she was going to get called as a wit -- witness but then they had a sham of an fbi investigation only in the end because there were a couple of moderates like susan collins and jeff flake who were not going to vote on the nomination unless there was an fbi investigation. the fbi did interview database of republicans said that was enough. if she had a public hearing and i've talked to her a lot she would have been every bit as credible and impressive the witness as christine was in her term and that's what republicans feared. >> let me ask a question from ann and this will be the last question per tank is that it's hard not to be completely depressed about all of this meaning success the republicans have had in making the court more conservative so ann ask any of ice on keeping any think

. >> when you see chuck grassley vote for it, that there are a number of republicans who think, yes, we're going to say no to what most of what joe biden wants, but there are a lot of americans who want want us to do stuff relevant to your life. you needs bridges, roads, broadband. >> this is a significant moment for joe biden who ran on a guy who worked in the senate for a long time and could get things done. and it speaks to the white house calculation, which is that done right, infrastructure is popular. republicans and democrats all like spending money on bridges and roads. these are popular things. and even though the last administration there was a lot of joking, they stuck with it. they made compromises, both sides gave in on certain things, and it's not at the finish line, but they have a deal. it's a big deal. >> mcconnell helps. now we go to speak er pelosi wh has to keep an interesting thanksgiving dinner together. moderates from districts where trump was strong, they think they are in trouble next year, as soon as the senate completes its work, we must bring it to the hou

chuck grassley said it was disappointing. jon cornyn called it a real problem. mike brawn called it the swamp's debt bomb. what do you know that they don't? >> we absolutely said this is how it was going to be. half of what we proposed will be scored by cbo's paid for. we were up front about that. half because of their rules that won't. it's things that a reasonable person would say yeah it's a pay for. for example, $53 billion congress has already appropriated for federal unemployment supplemental payments are not being used pore that. we are repurposing that, just as we told folks we were going to repurpose, repurpose for the sake of paying pore this. cbo doesn't give us credit but that's 53 billion we're repurposing that a reasonable person says yeah, that pays for it. >> more broadly, do you think it's a bit rich that under president trump the national debt climbed almost $8 trillion and now some of your colleagues are worried about the debt again? >> on the other hand -- first, the first part of your thing, let's face it, a lot of the spending was in respon
