we will see where the senate judiciary committee goes.lesia, thank you for being with us, reporter with the investigative team at "the indianapolis star," which broke the story in 2016 about dr. nassar's sexual abuse of gymnasts. his team helped expose usa gymnastics' failure to report allegations of sexual abuse by coaches and authorities. he is no longer with "the indianapolis star." coming up, as congress debates a $3.5 trillion bill to extend the nation social safety net and to increase taxes on the rich, we look back at the occupy wall street, which began 10 years ago today. stay with us. ♪♪ [music break] let amy: performing during an occupy wall street march 10 years ago in 2011. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. as congress debates a $3.5 trillion bill to expand the nation's social safety net and to increase taxes on the rich, we look back at the occupy wall street, the movement, how it reshaped the national debate on economics and inequality. yes, it was 10 years ago today on sept

host: simone biles yesterday before the senate judiciary committee. the committee scheduled his hearing after the justice department's inspector general report determines the fbi had not adequately addressed accusations from at least 40 women who said that larry nasser molested them over four -- over 14 months. the report said that the top fbi officials knew of the accusations in july 2015 but did not alert officials in michigan where he worked. it'd not respond to the accusations with the utmost seriousness and urgency they were required and the inquiry was inadequate, investigator said in the front page of the washington times. here is more from the hearing room yesterday. this is maggie nichols. >> while the big dreams ended in 2015 when my coach and i reported larry nassar's abuse. i would try to compete at the university of oklahoma where i was named the all-american and an eight time national champion. i reported my views to u.s. to gnostics over six years ago and still my family and i received few answers and have more questions and by dozens of

i want to thank my colleague, senator grassley, for joining us, the ranking member on the judiciary committee, and my colleague, senator moran, who could not be with us. today marks another step in a continuing quest for accountability and justice. director wray testified just moments ago that he has run out of adjectives. i suggested to him, we have all run out of adjectives to describe the monstrous, horrific, predatory, criminal conduct of larry nassar. we've run out of adjectives, but we haven't run out of action. that's what the gymnasts deserve. the criminal conduct by larry nassar, unfortunately, was not unique to him, and it was not unique to gymnastics. it was enabled by others, and others have been enabled in this kind of predatory conduct. the fbi became an enabler rather than an enforcer. the fbi became part of the problem. not the solution. and i have strongly called for continuing criminal investigation, if necessary, under new jurisdictional issues, because i think justice will be done only if there is accountability here. we have legislated reforms in the u.s. olympic and para

president, you and i are on the senate judiciary committee. we've had four hearings in the democrat-controlled judiciary committee on amnesty. in case the american people missed it, we get that democrats want am necessary cities for every illegal -- amnesty for every illegal alien. that is not lost on anybody. we haven't had a single hearing on the humanitarian crisis on the border. and not a single hearing on the biden cages. is it really the case that no democrat in this chamber cares about the children being assaulted, cares about the children catching covid, cares about the illegal immigrants being released by joe biden and kamala harris with covid into our communities? i get politically this is an inconvenient topic to discuss. it's not the political narrative democrats with aens to address. -- want to address. but every democrat in this body needs to ask, did you believe one word of the rhetoric you said during the trump administration? or was it all politics? and, by the way, i saw the kids in cages, and i went to them directly when oba

again, nixon fought for a while until he realized when the highest judiciary committee, which was by then gotten very serious about impeachment proceedings and undertaken, them and sent a subpoena, that they did have jurisdiction. if anybody at all had years diction to get these tapes that nixon had no defense against, it was the body who had exclusive jurisdiction to investigate potential wrongdoing by a president being the house judiciary committee. so he decides to release the tapes. this was a very staged event. you see the stack of books here? some of these only had two or three conversations. you could get a little peek inside there. it did not begin to fill, but this was done for the theater, to give the impression that literally stacks of books of tapes were being released. the actual book itself was about two and a half, maybe even three inches when they were all printed on both sides and released. here is nixon's statement. >> good evening. i have asked for this time tonight, in order to announce -- to the house judiciary committee subpoena for the really gate tapes. and to

the senate judiciary committee is not worried about big tech silencing free speech. that's not a concern for big democrats that are funded by big tech. no, their priority is number one amnesty. we had four amnesty hearings this year. and number two, trying to intimidate the supreme court and article 3 judges. that's a high priority. i have to say, the senator from rhode island, i always enjoy his charts. i do wonder where the red yarn is connecting one conspiracy point to the other. i will say this topic today on the shadow docket -- that is ominous. shadows are bad. like, shadows are really, really bad. mr. lacour -- actually, general lacour. you're a solicitor general, damn dammit. general lacour, the democrats have a point here. before donald j. trump, the supreme court has never decided emergency motions, is that correct? mr. lacour: any emergency proceeding whatsoever? that's not correct, senator. senator cruz: well, wait a second. before donald j. trump, every case was fully argued, is that right? mr. lacour: that's not correct. senator cruz: they decided emerg

i want to begin by thanking the judiciary committee including the chairman for their commitment to seeking the truth for hundreds if not thousandses who were systematically aboud by larry nassar and this committee's diligence to demand accountable from the federal law enforcement misconduct. i express my gratitude to the other brave survivors here today to continue to press for justice and reform. over the past few years, it's become painfully clear how a survivor's healing is affected by the handling of their abuse. it disgusts me that we are still fighting for the most basic answers and accountability over 6 years later. if 2015 it was known that at least 6 national team athletes had been abused by nassar. there was even one of the athletes that was abused on film. given our abuser's access to children, stopping him should have been a priority. instead the following occurred. the fbi failed to interview parties in a timely manner. it took over 14 months for the fbi to contact me despite my many requests to be interviewed by him. the records established that steve penny, fbi agent jay abb

in a member of the judiciary and budget committees.s well as matthew, doubt -- congressmen, the letter you signed calling for more action, do you have specific ideas of mine and what you would like the administration to do? >> yes, we believe, and i believe the attorney general is with us on this. and has made statements towards this end, we believe that the department of justice can challenge anybody who is trying to undermine constitutional rights, under the cover of a state law that is unconstitutional. that is not appropriate. sort of mayorkas said that in her a decision she wrote. we believe the attorney general is in the same place, and they are looking at all the tools that the department of justice has. to ensure that they can challenge. somebody. basically these are bounty hunters joy. we are allowing people to say that they are going to get $10,000 for is excessive a lawsuit, for undermining constitutional. right that's essentially with the texas law is doing. we think the department of justice can do. this we have urged them

as chairman of the judiciary committee, i'm working to ensure the failures of the fbi, the gross failures in this case will never be repeated. i recognize ranking member grassley. >> thank you chairman durbin for a very strong and appropriate statement that you just made. thank you for holding this hearing. thank you for involving me and others in this hearing as well. as the former chairman of this committee, i convened a hearing in 2017 on the importance of protecting young athletes against abuse. it took place before larry nasser, the now disgraced teen test team doctor was convicted. our committee heard them from other gymnasts about a culture in competitive sports that made it difficult for many girls to come forward and report their sexual abuse. that hearing convinced me of the need to champion legislation on which i work closely with senator feinstein, then ranking member, in 2017. the enactment means that copious instructors and others who work with young athletes now are mandatory reporters of child exploitation or abuse. oversight of the fbi is one of eric committees important

we saw that with what you just showed in that judiciary committee markup in which i took part on mondaythere when thomas massie pointed out the absolute sickness of referring to individuals as "human infrastructure," essentially chattel. you know what, i have been looking at the pictures of the little girls with brands and burns on their legs and arms because the cartels are abusing them and putting them into sex trafficking trades, and now democrats are allowing this mess to occur in del rio, where we have 10,000 haitians with many more on the way. i just got an email literally 30 seconds ago, they think 20,000 are on the way. all why we have thousands in mcallen, all while fentanyl is pouring across our border and killing americans. 90-something thousand, 100,000 dying from opiate poisoning, not overdoses, b3, poisoning. this is happening right now, and this president does not care. article four, section four guarantees us a republican form of government and that the president and federal government is supposed to protect us from invasion. he is failing and he is willfully disregardin

the entire house judiciary committee of course on the democratic side wrote him a letter asking him toas taken action. the texas abortion law is patently unconstitutional, and it is an attempt to get the supreme court to do what it has not been willing to to for 50 years. and we have got to stop it in its tracks. this hurts women. it hurts health care providers. it is bad for the justice system. and that law simply has got to go. so merrick garland is doing his job upholding the constitution. >> it may not just be texas. other states like florida and south dakota have expressed interest in following texas creating their own abortion laws. do you think this doj lawsuit will keep other states from passing these things or does something else need to be done in your mind? >> well, that would be my great hope, that it would deter other stattle. -- other states. i am not confident that that will be the case. what i would like to see and i am hoping the congress will take it up after we are back in session is a federal law protecting women's reproductive freedom and our health care providers.

we should be having this hearing and i'm glad we are. >> the senate judiciary committee is busy. they are not focused on the crisis on our side of the border -- or southern border. even the 1.2 million people have crossed illegally and there is a public health crisis playing up a senate democrats have no time to worry about that. the senate judiciary committee is not worried about big tech censoring and silencing free speech. that is not a concern for big democrats funded by big tech. instead, their priorities are amnesty. there is no parity they care about more than amnesty. we have had for amnesty hearings this year. the senator from rhode island, i always enjoy his charts. i wonder where the redline is connecting one conspiracy theory to another. shadows are really bad. shadow docket. general, let's use proper titles. general, the senate democrats have a point here. before donald j. trump, the supreme court had never decided emergency motions. is that correct? >> any emergency proceeding whatsoever? that is not correct. >> before donald j. trump, every single case this report

>> we talked about why the judiciary committee is holding this hearing, they have jurisdiction for oversightr instance given the fbi's involvement here. what kind of relief do you think this committee can offer to victims of nassar? >> it gives them a voice. it allows them to speak to the public about how, what happened to them and force some type of institutional change. when you talk about relief, particularly for survivors, sometimes they just want to be heard and so the relief can be unique to each individual person. but the fact that these young ladies and, you know, nassar has been convicted, but the fact that these young ladies are still willing to subject themselves to retraumaization i can only think that the relief they will want is to see change so that no other young lady or no other young child has to engage in the undetected, uninvestigated abuse that they had to suffer through. and the fact that, again, they still to this day have unanswered questions that really should have been provided to them on day one. >> mary, what is your reaction and you reference this a moment ago th
