chair maloney: so ordered. ms. foxx: are we looking into what caused the 40-year high inflation rate? no. are we examining how the f.d.a. and biden administration failed to address the baby formula shortage? no. are we examining how and why teens are purchasing illicit drugs on social media leading to a record number of overdoses? no. what about the crisis at the southern border, are we doing anything to address the massive humanitarian and national security catastrophe? no. instead, this is another day when this committee failed to do what the american people have elected us to do. last week we had a hearing on pet collars. today a hearing over a single nfl team about workplace conduct that occurred years ago. as the ranking member mentioned in his opening remarks, no one, no one should be subjected to a hostile work environment. bad actors must be held accountable. this hearing is just another example of democrats failing to conduct meaningful oversight of the biden administration and the ongoing catastrophes fue

maloney: thank you. i commend the administration for its work to overcome this crisis and reduce the harm it inflicts on our society, and i am a proud partner with you in this work, and you bring invaluable experience to the country from your work in west virginia. i now call on representative norman. re -- rep. norman: thank you, chairwoman maloney. dr., thank you for taking the time to come. you said the biden administration had a top priority for protecting americans, protecting the border. did you say that? am i right? he has done a great job of protecting the border? dr. gupta: thank you, congressman, for that question. we believe strongly it is an important part of every nation to secure and protect its border. there are number things going on in this area that i think are important to note. as i visit i speak to the women and men on the border -- sen. norman: i don't mean to interrupt. i have a limited amount of time. is he taking the steps to protect, to close the border? is that what i understan

maloney: thank you. uncovering and prosecuting fraud that has already occurred in pandemic relief programs is vital and requires close collaboration across federal agencies. how do different entities like inspectors general and the secret service work together to get cases through the department of justice for prosecution, and why is this collaboration so important? mr. ware: thank you. >> it is critical to this effort and what we have done is, we have created our own task force to bring together the law enforcement community within the ig community to partner with the secret service, the fbi, others in federal law enforcement so we can share the expertise we each have in these areas. we each bring unique abilities to these efforts. the sba, ig agents for example have tremendous expertise in ppp and eidl and program fraud issues. the labor ig has that with employment fraud insurance. it is critical we do that, we are having ig offices, my own office has had agents volunteer and contribute to this effort

maloney for five minutes. mrs. maloney: thank you, mr. chairman. an email you sent in august of 2020, you were describing an oval office meeting with president trump and dr. atlas. you said in that email that dr. atlas told the president, quote, no matter what we do, the outcome will be the same. end quote. you wrote that dr. atlas advised president trump, quote, testing is very overrated, end quote. and that, quote, case identification is bad for the president's re-election, end quote. and you said at the co-conclusion of the meeting, dr. atlas is brilliant and the president will be following his guidance now. after that meeting in the fall and winter of 2020, america experienced some of the deadliest months of the pandemic. we lost the most lives during that period. dr. briks birx -- dr. birx, do you believe dr. atlas' lemations had an -- recommendations had an impact on president trump's pandemic response? dr. birx: absolutely. i believe that went on months prior to that meeting. mrs. maloney: how so? how did it have an impact? dr. birx: because

how will this progressive who can't do what patrick maloney can do for your party? how do they help? >> aoc galvanized the left of the party. it's not a bad thing. we've always had a big tent with a number of different voices in it. it doesn't mean the party is weak. a sign the party is strong because it has a number of different voices. >> harris: it's changing. whenever i talk to moderates they will be quick to tell me no, harris, it is not. the moderate people. it's how joe biden got elected. he is more moderate, blah, blah, blah. when you look at what laura is saying and she is right about this, their voices are louder. >> yeah, the energy in the democrat party is clearly on the extreme far left and the other far left is losing out. but then also when you look on the other side look at what happened yesterday in california. those extreme far left policies are producing horrible results and the people are fighting back. so this is a tug-of-war between basically the socialist wing of the democrat party and the far radical left wing of the democrat party and who kn

as in 2013 maloney's husband, handley never emerged from the forest shins. her last hopes on queen elizabeth. yet now again, let her give me just compensation because she's the ruler. let her send it to me or why the guy and let it not be given to any one else. i am glad. oh grandma, i'm dead though. he man, oh man, why, bill fernandez. i am now joined by a poem, witty. he was a mom, our veterans lawyer who fought for thousands to get compensation from britain. hello sir, thanks for joining us now. we just had the sad story of him. our mile veteran who was still demanding compensation from britain. but how feasible is that they are very many and lay chemo ha air beyond the 5000 level god call ins issue. and they are cries for justice. remain. alas, unfortunately that settlement was limited to the 5000. ready client, we had an attack. there we to get compare. this is where they can have gone to take out the see sure. we, their british government, where the british government read us think went on the floor, houses commons. whether we concluded this case in th

thank you chairman maloney and i you back gentlemen, i yield back. i want to clarify that i support the 2nd amendment. i support law abiding gone, gone outers. i don't support lax gun laws that allow guns to get into the hands of criminals and unstable people. i now recognize that jen, lady from california miss porter for an opening statement. i represent a community in morning, less than one month ago in laguna woods. a gunman, lock the doors to the geneva presbyterian church, and opened fire on my communities, tighten it, taiwanese congregation. the shooting was an undeniable tragedy, but under different circumstances, it could have been an unimaginable massacre. unlike the shooters involved in buffalo, the shooter in laguna woods did not carry an assault rifle equipped with high capacity magazines. he was armed with 9 millimeter, he and guns that forced him to reload. that difference gave a hero doctor john cheng, a chance to stop the carnage. he sacrificed his life to stop the shooter and his bar. but bravery was remarkable. but we cannot depend

. >> thank you chairwoman maloney and all of our hearts go out to the victims and the families and uvalde, texas in buffalo, new york. for those testifying before us today there are no words to describe the horror you have faced in the deep anguish you feel. the american people grieve it with you. as elected representatives in congress it is our obligation to work to ensure these violent crimes and tragedies never happened again. americans of all backgrounds should be empowered to defend themselves against rising violence. the increase in violence we have witnessed since the summer of 2020 is unacceptable. murders and aggravated assaults are all up. this is a trend we must reverse. we have recently witnessed several high-profile, senseless acts of murder and mayhem that has impacted all americans including tragically are defenseless and innocent schoolchildren. we must respond to those acts and provide justice for the families. at the same time we recognized violence occurs in many of our communities on a daily basis. impacting americans across the united states from every background. too

again, i want to thank you, madam chairwoman maloney for the invitation to testify today. i also want to thank all the members of the house committee on oversight and reform. members from the new york city congressional delegation and everyone who has testified today, especially those who have so bravely shared their stories of losing loved ones to gun violence. i was particularly touched by hearing the husband and wife that lost their baby girl, as a father with one son. it was extremely impactful to all of us. i'm eric adams, i'm honored to appear before you today as the 110th mayor of the great city of new york, to discuss the ways we can protect public safety and prevent gun violence. ladies and gentlemen, it is high noon in america. time for every one of us to decide where we stand on the issue of gun violence. time to decide if it's more important to protect the profits of gun manufacturers or the lives of our children. time to decide if we are going to be a nation of laws or confederation of chaos. and we must do it now. it is high noon in america, our country, the

caroline maloney from new york is here. what can we expect to hear during the hearings? >> this can be an opportunity to listen to people who know more about gun violence than anybody, because they've experienced it. a mother lost her son doing his job in buffalo. an 11-year-old girl saw her teachers and fellow students murdered. it would be a parent who was just celebrating making the honor role. hours later a pediatrician lost five of his patients in one day. we hope their heart wrenching stories will open the minds and hearts of the members of congress to vote for the protecting our kids act, which would move forward some form of gun safety. 250 mass shootings is too much and we stand alone in it. if guns made people safer, we'd be the safest country on earth and we are far from it. >> sometimes testimony does not move the meter for republicans on gun safety measures and any type of measures that might pull back restraints on assault weapons or raise the age. what will be different today and what do you say to your republican counter parts who have not done anything.

maloney was concerned about the applications of such a trip and agreed with the sucre service that it shouldn't happen. ms. hutchinson, did you have any conversations with maloney about his concerns about the president going to the capitol january 6? >> the third, he approached me knowing mark had raised the prospect of going up to the capitol january 6. we had a brief, private conversation, where he said to me, "we need to make sure this does not happen, this would be legally a terrible idea for us, we have serious legal concerns of we go up to the capitol thatay." he then urged me to continue relaying that to mr. meadows. because it is my understanding that he thought he was indeed pushing this along with the president. >> and we understand that you also spoke to mr. cipollone on the morning of the sixth. as you werabout to go to the rally on the ellipse. and he said something to you like, make sure the movements of the capitol does not happen. is that correct? >> that's correct. spoke with him before we walked out that morning, and mr. cipollone said something to the effect of, "pl

new york magazine reports that you accuse sean patrick maloney, one of the -- democratic congressionalo nudge you into running against bowman and other black progressives. a longtime incumbent in 2028 and it's also citing sources saying you plan to challenge bowman anyways without maloney's encouragement. we it sounds pretty messy. >> redistricting has been a disaster in the new york state. anyone who's been paying attention realizes it. we got a primary between 12 congressional districts, which is deeply unfortunate. i did not want to run against trump -- the person whose job it is to help us keep the majority, had a majority moving forward because the alternatives of having republicans control the house of representatives is too grim to even contemplate. as you noted earlier on the show. i'm really excited about this district that has done so much for me somehow has never had an openly lgbtq candidate. i was represented in congress and proud to make history back in 2020. openly black member of congress. i deserve to stay in congress, and i think people are going to see that over the

congressman maloney, thank you so much for being with us this evening. you have attended protests this weekend. can you share with us your own reaction to the court's decision. would you hear from your constituents out in the community? >> well, there are obviously -- they're angry. they feel terribly upset about it. they feel violated really. most of all, are united and determined to fight this and stand and the front lines of every effort to further bulldoze or undermine, or rollback or eliminate the right of a safe and legal abortion. women and like-minded men are united to fight on the front lines against this every day. we are going back to congress. we will be pushing to get roe codified. we passed in the house. we need two more votes in the senate. all the democrats voted for it, except for manchin. we need two more republican senators. they need to be defeated. basically, we have to take this out to the midterms. we have to win elections and elect pro-choice, or pro rights legislators. people who will fight for women's right to choose. i will say

congressman sean patrick maloney, nice to see you.oday. >> you get. and i hope everybody has a great fourth of july. >>> ahead for us, the war in ukraine is now over four months old with no real end or resolution in sight. after the break, we will speak with two reporters, one who is still in country, the other who has recently returned, about where the war goes from here and what america and americans can do to help. that's next. what america and amn do to help th'sat next. to a child, this is what conflict looks like. children in ukraine are caught in the crossfire of war, forced to flee their homes. a steady stream of refugees has been coming across all day. it's basically cold. lacking clean water and sanitation. exposed to injury, hunger. exhausted and shell shocked from what they've been through. every dollar you give can help bring a meal, a blanket, or simply hope to a child living in conflict. please call or go online to givenowtosave.org today with your gift of $10 a month, that's just $0.33 a day. we canno

the chairwoman of the oversight committee carolyn maloney saying that because snyder didn't show up today"the washington post" has led the way for the hometown paper and for folks like me who live in washington and they have new reporting that has dropped in the last 24 hours. bring us up to speed on the latest on that front. >> hallie, your audio cut out in the middle of your question, but i did hear you asking about that "washington post" report, that's not something nbc has confirmed and it details more of the allegations against snyder and that is the crux of what the oversight committee was trying to get at. they had people who were part of the organization previously come forward and testify about things that were ng inside, really illuminating that toxic culture and it's clear after today's hearings, even despite the testy and fiery rhetoric that we heard from some republicans that the chairwoman would keep pressing forward on this. >> ali vitale live on the hill for us. thank you. >> you are about to be looking at first lady jill biden honoring the 50th anniversary, the landmark l

the chair of that panel, carolyn maloney hopes it will turn anger into action.re the prospects? the house judiciary committee mocked up and passed on party lines all the democrats voted yes, the republicans voted no a package of gun reforms including a ban on assault weapons and limbs on high-capacity ammunition headed to the house for a vote next week that will not pass the senate after that. in the senate there is a bipartisan negotiation happening led by chris murphy, the democrat. the most outspoken supporter of gun violence prevention legislation over the last decade as well as the republican john cornyn, they are discussing things like red flag laws, money for mental health, safe storage law, things that president biden mentioned among other proposals in his prime time address last night. there's optimism buzzing all over the senate more so than we've seen at any point in many years over there still. the road is long. it's unclear they will get there. the republican red line on this speaking to sources is that they will not support anything that infringes

>> chairwoman maloney, that is exactly why we took the issue so seriously. it's exactly why we engaged in the independent investigation. she had full access to be able to engage with anyone -- >> reclaiming my time. i have limited time and thank you for appearing in for your testimony. we don't know how much more information is still out there because the nfl has refused to make the findings of the wilkinson investigation public. commissioner, yes or no, will you commit today to providing this committee the full findings of the nfl's internal investigation while protecting the identities of the confidential witnesses? >> the summary report, madam chair, the report was broad in its nature specific to the fact the culture of the washington football team for too long was toxic and incorrect. we made a commitment to protect their identities and we are going to continue to do that and make sure that we -- >> respectfully, reclaiming my time because we have limited time. you claimed you are withholding this information because you'rer protecting the privacy of wit

to say to day that the most important message of, of is it is that italy wants ukraine in the you maloney, on our repair. tony spavoni strangely ending craner. today is a truly historic day. ukraine has felt the supporter for powerful european states and in particular support for our movement towards the european union, italy, romania, france, and germany are with us. all 4 ladies, mister dragging. mister, your highness. mister macaroni and mister saltzman support ukraine's candidacy. my dogs, of course all relevant procedures must be followed all a you member states must join. but at our meeting today, a big step was made a step forward was his please for increasing amounts of powerful weapons from his west and back as seems to grow louder every day. ukraine's eventual and potential e u membership seems to be taken seriously. but with strict conditions and a very long timeline, there was consensual agreement though, on what's being described as russia's see blockade. the french president saying that this was all russia's fault, and moscow has a duty to help solve it. child strafford al j

miss hughes, you are now recognized for your testimony. hon chairwoman maloney ranking member commer distinguished members of the committee. thank you for allowing me to be here today to address the violence in our country. my name is lucretia hughes, clark and i have 4 children and 9 grand children. on the night of april, the 2nd 2016, my family got a phone call that would change our lives forever. my ex husband, answer the phone and let out a blood curdling scream. a scream of pain from the depths of his so he screamed, he cry, he is gone. he is gone. r 19 year old son emmanuel, went to a party early that night. after we got the call, we was frantic. we called his phone. no one answered. we called even the police. i went to facebook and i had to add, is my son did? i found out that he was shot point blake in the head and killed while playing dominos. no one spoke up for weeks, and the killer was on the run. no one was going to snitch, but that is the st. life wires came. describe how hard it is, the barrier chow, i for any one and all who have been done the same. my son, death was

making the russians seem as terrible as possible that they fight for being simply too outrageous. maloney i spoke to steve gill radio host on political commentator. he says he hopes the western media will be more objective in their coverage in the future. the allegations that this lady was putting out there were horrific was even more horrific as if they were just outright wise and intended to create a propaganda scheme that would drive people up and, and created an anti russia mentality around the world. again, based on lies, there are plenty of reasons to question the invasion to question what ukrainians have done in the war as well. but there's been so much propaganda that you know, getting the truth out has been almost impossible. but i do think you're starting to see some recalculation in the u. s. media, at least among some to, to be a little more skeptical of the stories in the propaganda. it's been pushed out. and again, this is, in this case just been repeated without any verification or any basis of truth. we saw that with the supposed ukrainian soldiers who had had mocked a rus

congressman maloney, welcome back to the sunday show, great to be with you. >> happy pride!de! so that supreme court ruling, overturning roe v. wade. does that help a little bit or a lot, the democrats, going into november? >> look, what it does is that it clarifies the choice. let's be really clear. this maga republican movement wants to criminalize, then abortion in all 50 states. and if they win congress, they can do it. because with the court decision says is there is no longer any constitutional prohibition on that. they could pass one law to congress, and ban abortion in all 50 states. democrats, we will preserve roe v. wade, that's the choice. >> democrats are facing incredible headwinds, high inflation, high gas prices, a president whose job approval rating is not where it should be if you are a democrat, going into the november elections. so how does this ruling help? does it help? >> look, it is a terrible thing they are doing to our country. i don't want to, in any way suggest that this is good news. but there is going to be a political price to pay for the republ

maloney: madam speaker, i rise in support of the protecting our kids act. today the victims' families and community members from the mass shootings in buffalo and uvalde appeared before the oversight committee, demanding action. these communities have faced unspeakable tragedy. it is our duty as lawmakers to listen to them and work to build a world where they will never have to see these horrific events repeated. this legislation will save countless lives, from the violence these families have had to endure. we must support every title in this bill, especially title 2, cracking down on interstate gun trafficking. i have spent over a decade fighting for gun trafficking and straw purchases to be made a federal offense. the illegal interstate movement of firearms into new york, known as the iron pipeline, has caused countless firearms to enter our state unlawfully. preventing gun traffic across state lines should be a -- gun trafficking across state lights should be a bipartisan goal. as a mother and -- lines should be a bipartisan goal. as a mother i'm w horr

chair and madam chair maloney for accommodating another committee simultaneously. firstt of all, the committee released a report today revealing the trump trump administration's shocking failures for the critical funds from fraud. the analysis right here which we justdo released today basically shows 90% of the doj prosecutions of fraud against the idle program involve fraudulent applications submitted during the trump administration. here is one example why in the graphic showing basically some guidance the administration has given to officers atra the sba with regards to the idle loans. the select subcommittee found that under the trump administration, the lone loanreviewers at the sba were directed to approve applications for the program even when they had red flags that indicated potential identity theft. your office specifically i didn't have identified it as the idle program through january, 2021. isn't thatnu right? >> that is correct. >> dated the choice to approve applications, despite red flags indicate the potential identity theft include the likelihood
