klobuchar: ms. nelson, he testified reforming the electoral count act is only one step in transforming our democracy. can you speak to why additional legislation like the freedom to vote act and the john lewis bill would complement the work we have done here? ms. nelson: yes. because election sabotage happens not just after ballots are cast and the votes are tabulated, it can happen in the way that electorate is shaped through voter oppression laws and through laws that erect barriers to the ballot. the john lewis of voting advancement act is critical to strengthening protection against voting discrimination we lost in the voting rights act of 1965 when the supreme court struck down the provision and disabled it. we also need the freedom to vote act to set minimum standard for access to the polls so voters and in florida and georgia and texas can benefit from same-day voter registration, for example, or robust vote by mail just like voters in california and colorado and other states. the uniformity

klobuchar: thank you, senator king. i think that is a really important thing to note, we do not know who is going to win elections in the future, but both democrats and republicans felt it was important to take a law that had not been updated for a long time and make it work for our democracy. i would also note before we turn to senator cap about, you and i discussed this disputed election . it was not my favorite president at the time, because i would not have been allowed to vote. it is just an example that election was such a mess and it's white congress enacted the electoral count act and we are looking at how to make this work regardless of what party wins an election so the will of the people will in fact dictate the outcome. with that, i turn it over to senator capito . >> thank you for scheduling this business meeting to consider a bill that i am proud as a republican to have worked on and to strengthen our process. i think the managers amendment strengthens it as well. i would note that in the process that we w

klobuchar: senator king. sen. king: the first thing i want to do is think cap senators and the group that worked on this bill. it is an example of how this should work. it involves compromise and a great deal of research. i want to compliment you on network -- on network -- on that work. it gives us a piece of legislation we can work on in this committee and hopefully act within this congress. i think that is very important. this is not a partisan issue. this is a mechanical issue. this is a rules issue that involves how our government should work no matter who is in charge. this coming january 6 of 2025, a democratic vice president will be in that chair. we have to emphasize that we should not do this on a partisan basis and think this favors one side or another. there is no telling what the circumstances will be in particular states or in congress and a future years. the very first tact -- class at took government in college -- and i don't know why i remember this -- the professor said the thing america has achi

senator klobuchar? sen klobuchar: thank you. following up on that point, i just returned from ukraine, seeing the extent of the damage inflicted by the russian invasion. i was troubled to learn of twitter's leadership that recently considered agreeing to the putin regime's request to censor and surveilled russian twitter users. twitter ultimately did not agree to the request as far as i understand. what can you tell us about requests made by foreign governments and the risks that those demands pose, and why would a company like twitter consider agreeing? peiter: i was very surprised and shocked by that one-on-one conversation which i had prior to his assuming the ceo role. i understand it out of a frustration of the inability to perform, and this kind of comes in the content moderation which was conversation that i had with twitter. we don't really have the ability and tools to do this correctly. this is a lot of work, it is not driving our main executive goals. is there a way that we can simply punt? since they have elections,

klobuchar: now resolutions en bloc. i ask unanimous consent that the senate now proceed to the en bloc consideration of the following senate resolutions introduced earlier today. senate resolution 793, senate resolution 794, and senate reduction 795. the presiding officer: woangs, -- without objection, the senate will proceed en bloc. ms. klobuchar: i ask unanimous consent that the resolutions be agreed to, the preambles be agreed to, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. all en bloc. the pr the presiding officer: without objection. ms. klobuchar: i ask unanimous consent the senate proceed to the consideration of s. resolution 796 submitted earlier today. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: senate resolution 796, honoring the life and legacy of the late senator robert bob charles kruger. the presiding officer: without objection, the senate will proceed. ms. klobuchar: i ask unanimous consent the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and that the

chairwoman joe manchin amy klobuchar. we have worked on these issues for a long time -- the example of coming together and making things happen. so get a chance to talk while senator manchin and senator collins, both good friends of mine are here, talking about some of the reasons for the hearing today. as you pointed out, the electoral count act of 1887 just turned out to be more troublesome, potentially, and than anybody had thought. what happened in 1876 was that tightly contested race you are talking about between children and hayes in four states. florida, louisiana, south carolina, and oregon, all had two different groups meet on december the 6th of 1876. each of those groups sent in a competing set of electoral count. there was no way, really, to deal with that issue at that point in our history. the congress passed the electoral commission act, which really did not work very well either. it ended with a compromise that put hayes in the white house. and it largely ended reconstruction in the south at the same time,

senator amy klobuchar, we are glad you're back home safe and sound. your time tonight. >> thank you. >>> as senator klobuchar just said, we will be joined live by democrat mary peltola, the first alaska native elected to congress and the woman who beat sarah palin. she joins me live coming up next. e coming up next >>> in alaska, state senator don young apparently has won a narrow victory in yesterday's' election for alaska's only seat in the u.s. congress. >> in 1973, republican don young ran for and won alaska agency only congressional seat in a special election. that same year, mary peltola, the democrat who would one day replace him, she was born. she would also go on to win alaska's lone house seat through a special election. although this time around, the process was very different. it was a ranked choice election. meaning that voters get to rank their preferred candidates in order. and no candidate receives more than 50% of the first place vote the race becomes an sbapt runoff in round two. the candidate with the fewest votes gets eliminate and

with that, i'm going to turn it over to senator amy klobuchar, who has been an amazing champion in this fight. sen. klobuchar: thank you for very much, senator murray, for your incredible leadership for a really, really long time. i was remembering back in the barbara mikulski days, liking the height level of this group until that guy arrived. [laughter] this was so good. i felt so tall. but i was remembering barbara mikulski when she used to stand on that couch and say suit up, square your shoulders, put your lipstick on, and get ready for the revolution. i never really knew what she was even talking about, but i think we know now that the women of this country have had it and the men that stand with them have had it. two and a half month ago, the supreme court issued a ruling shredding nearly five decades of precedent, just like that. now, women are at the mercy of state laws across the country and basically this ruling, and the republican senators have said, women, it is not your choice over your health care. it is politicians' choice. this bill that was introduced will take these re

senator klobuchar. sen. klobuchar thank you very much, chairwoman. and thank you as well, senator boozman. as you mention this in your testimony, these are volatile markets. we saw that big-time when we saw that when digital currencies were approaching their highest values and the companies were spending millions on celebrity endorsements, many first-time buyers were convinced to invest just in time for the market to crash. and there are people that are trading on these unregulated platforms, that they may not even realize it. many of the investors haven't even traded on platforms like this before. could you talk a little bit more about how these underlying markets work and why you think the cftc is in a position to oversee such volatile markets? i know you've done such things before. and without regulation, what recourse do consumers have who have been scammed or defrauded by crypto brokers? two different questions. mr. behnam: thanks, senator. i think in response to your first question, in many respects, you know, the markets and the way the unregu

full funding, amy klobuchar, tell us how you would stop the hurricane. really, she wouldn't stopped. she's always welcome on this show to tell us how she's in charge of the weather. what do you think, you're god or something? hurricane ian is very powerful and very wide, and it has hurt the west coast of florida. the tampa bay arena is under water essentially. fox weather's max gorden is live in st. petersburg for us. hi, max. >> we were expecting the eye to hit the tampa bay/st. petersburg area, but it moved. the wind continues to whip, the rain continues to come down, and in some areas of central florida up to 2 feet of rain is expected, just a catastrophic event as this moves onshore. now, earlier today we saw a pretty interesting phenomenon in tampa bay. now, instead of a storm surge, we saw a retreat of the water out of tampa bay. in some areas we had negative 1. essentially what happened there is we had northerly winds pushing that water out of the bay. now, that water is now moving back in, and we should have somewhat of a storm surge later tonigh

senator klobuchar and i went to the church of st. andrew, a beautiful church but also the site of a mass grave dug by russian soldiers. there the russians buried dozens of innocent ukrainians. civilians who were forritude and murdered at the hands a of the russians. our visits to irpi in my judgment and -- irpin and bucha. it is one thing to see it on 82 vision and another to talk to the residents about what happened. it is hard to believe that such things can happen in the 21st century. senator klobuchar and i also visited the airport outside of kyiv. this photograph is of the airport and some of the destruction there. this is the deputy minister of interior of ukraine. he joined us there. this airport was meant to be russia's forward operating base for its assault on kyiv. it was assaulted by elegality russian airborne forces and experienced chechen forces on the very first day of the war, february 24, with a plan to secure the airport and use it for ferrying in troops and equipment flying in russian forces to take over kyiv appear

joining us tonight minnesota senator amy klobuchar and ohio republican senator rob portman. to have you both in studio. >> thanks, bret, great to be on. >> bret: you both came back from kyiv last wednesday in which you are on the same page here about supporting ukraine. what was your take away after meeting with president zelenskyy? >> he is as strong as ever and he is incredibly grateful for america and for what we have done with our humanitarian economic help but most importantly our military help. the embassy staff, our american embassy literally told us a story that they went to get takeout food at a ukrainian restaurant and the bag came back envelope or on the bag it said thanks for the himars, america. and they have been working and zelenskyy is focused on now a counteroffensive, of course, to take on vladimir putin and russia and push back. >> bret: you know, senator portman, i just had congressman mike waltz former green beret he went over there as well with a group. he said this about what he thought about the situation. take a listen. >> at the end of the day, they

klobuchar: mr.tman to share with the senate and the country some of the things that we learned from our recent trip to ukraine. i want to thank senator portman. he comes to the floor every week. never gives up when things are good or bad to talk what's happening in ukraine. and president zelenskyy was incredibly grateful. that was the first thing he wanted us to report back to the senate and to the country. incredibly grateful for all america has done to stand with ukraine. we know that this is a country that has given its all. sometimes we wonder in our own country what with would we -- what would we put on the line for democracy? are we going to vote or things like that? the people in this country put their lives on the line every day, ballerinas going to the front line, exhausted workers at a nuclear plant trying to protect not just ukraine but all of europe in whatthe biggest -- what is the biggest nuclear plant. the bombed out town screen, that reminds people no what vladimir putin did to the c

. >> senator klobuchar talked about the inflation reduction act, she had to this say. >> we just didhave to win this as that hurricane bears down on florida, win in the midterm. >> harris, that was a moment. >> harris: i've interviewed her many times, amy klobuchar, she's very bright, when you get caught up in the moment over politics and the most copious thing is to say stop hurricanes with legislation, you couldn't stop inflation with something called inflation reduction act, forgive the world if we don't believe what is coming out of your mouth anymore. it is unfortunate, some politicians have good ideas, i don't know if any of them can stop a hurricane. >> kayleigh: that is right, it is like the paris climate accord, we withdraw and hurricanes began issue the largest hurricane was in 1935. >> to make reference, i've lived in florida and it is getting worse, unless he is 100 years old, more hurricanes hitting florida than present day, you would have thought it was armageddon, we did not live on the coastline, it has to do with perspective. look at the storms that happened and what

it's not just about ukraine, as senator klobuchar said. it's about global freedom.way, 42 allies in the united states has stood together on this. so the freedom loving world has been unified. i'll make the point that it was donald trump who began to provide lethal weaponry to ukraine to defend itself. the obama administration did not agree to do that, but president trump did. it was the republicans that took the lead in providing ukraine what they were asking forat the time. this was prior to the latest invasion. now we have to make sure that the funding we're providing is accountable. whether it's humanitarian aid or state budget support or the defense spending, one thing we did when we were over there is we insisted there be an accountability and end-use monitoring for these weapons so we know where these weapons are going, and that we ensure that any funding that's being provided is going to the essentials, like providing salaries for the law enforcement officials who are needed right now to protect ukraine and to win this war. and then second, we need to be sure

the senator saying vote for democrats. >> run that here she is minnesota is it senator amy klobucharyesterday, watch. >> we just did something about climate change, for the first time in decades, that is why we've got to win this as that hurricane bears down on florida, we got to win in midterms we understand, that. >> is she suggesting if you vote for democrats will prevent powerful storms. dagen: maybe again desperation is the world's worst perfume, this is where democrats are on this, but there is a -- politicization of this storm, of this hurricane don lemon on cnn said what effects do climate change have then o phenomena it seems storms are intensifying, noaa man said i don't think you can link climate change to any one of them he is listen i grew up there are these storms intensifying. >> trying to deflect, stay on storm stay on making people safe. but i will note lumbourg data shows over last half century people have become much safer from weather events cost in terms of gdp going down of devastating storms you need money there to help people out get people out of harm's way,

we could see withe antitrust bill that senator amy klobuchar and chuck grassley are pushing for. we could see them try to get it outfor a vote . we could see the electoral count reform that the house bipartisansupport in the senate . it's slightly different than the bill that passed the house last week. so it would make sense that something that has 60 votes in the senate that democrats see as important moves forward. we can also see the cracks in the house push their bill to ban doc ownership for lawmakers through their chamber. it's unclear though if their bill has backing in the senate where you also have had senators say they'd like to stop on owning stock but there doesn't seem to be one consensus. those are some of the things we're watching and it's expected to come up, natural disasters, we also see them unfortunately right now. you could see him emergency funding bills as well. >> talking about the week ahead. natalie is our guest from the wall street journal. if you want to join the conversation phone line as usual democrats 202-748-8000, republicans 202-748-8000 one. we

when senator klobuchar and i were in ukraine three weeks ago we visited a suburb of kiev and saw the spot where soldiers dug a mass grave for innocent civilians they murdered during their occupation. sadly the murder, torture and rape discovered in bucha was not unique. these events often aren't known to the world until that area is liberated by ukrainian forces. one has to wonder what other russian horrors are occurring in occupied areas that we will witness. this is the grim reality of russia's war. president putin claims this is about reunited them with their ukrainian brothers and sisters but this photo is not what brothers and sisters do to each other. this is not a war of freedom or a war of liberation. this is a war of conquest and genocide. and over the weekend we also got a glimpse of what happens to the ukrainian children who have lost their parents in this war and fall into russia's hands. russia's presidential commissioner for children's rights who has been sanctioned by the united states recently stated that russian authorities are placing 125 ukrainian orphans with russ

amy klobuchar and chuck vastly leading in -- leaning into this idea.enator blumenthal suggested we might need a regulatory agency to regulate tech. all of that is in the realm of d.c. and the ongoing conversation of the role in big tech and where regulation comes in. the elon musk part kind of place into a little bit of what we heard from zatko, what he described as almost a cultural aspect of the company where he said the company kind of fights fires, moves from fire to fire. make short-term changes, isn't thinking long-term about security. they are thinking long-term about growing revenue and users. that point, even though it is not specifically one of the three reasons that elon has given to back out of the deal, i think that would be the one he might be most interested in. he has leaned on this idea that the board and the executives have misrepresented data. while we did not hear about bots or spam accounts, the cultural element might be the one we see pulled into the argument that muska is poised to take in october. emily: what do you make of that

the supporters of the legislation, such as minnesota democrat amy klobuchar, says they do have the votes have to put it on the floor to test that. schumer is uncomfortable with that. he does not want to force a vote ahead of the midterms. that is why it has gone this long without going to a vote. ed: i'm reading your story on the bloomberg terminal. hopes on lame-duck vote. i think the final push for legislation was plotted over pretzels and beer. give me the background. emily: there was an oktoberfest themed happy hour gathering last week. basically, it was activists, congressional lead supporting the legislation, the ftc chair, the doj antitrust head. so some of the most important people in the biden administration and in congress were plotting out, how are we going to get this bill across the finish line before the end of the year? it looks likely the gop is going to retake the house. the gop is not one to take up the bill in its current form, especially under potential speaker kevin mccarthy. they were just trying to strategize and get together. ed: quickly, emily, how do they regrou

farther towards the north puts other people at risk in areas of the south. 50% of tropical psych klobuchar fatalities do occur because of storm surge. that's why we try to hammer this particular element home so much when it comes to the weather and tropics. we've already seen significant wind gusts upwards of 87 miles per hour. when it comes to the storm system, it's not just the storm surge, not just the category 4 winds. if you're not at the coast you're not going to be dealing with those is what you think. look at the rainfall. areas to the north, expansive area where the forecast models have brought as much as 20 plus inches across an expansive area. the flooding here is going to be significant. the flash flood risk is high and a lot of property damage is also going to be in place as well. when they tell you to evacuate, even if you're not by the coast, i think you should be evacuating. >> the risk to inland florida as well challenge our conventional wisdom. thank you very much. >>> now the massive hurricane has kept meteorologists like pedram and storm chasers guessing as it's shifted
