mr. jennings and even mr. flynn, we've heard mr. berry's testimony about the conditions involving the preparation for the 2022 -- excuse me, 2022 soccer world cup. what is the relationship between the testimony that we're hearing, mr. berry, about corruption, bribery, racketeering, criminal activity, related to fifa and the findings that your organization has made in regard to what is going on in preparation for that world cup. how -- is our hearing, are these two contrasting type of stories that don't belong together or are they intimately tied to each other? >> thank you for the question. at the end of the day when fifa made the decision to grant the bid for the 2022 world cup to occur in qatar, it took responsibility for the human rights impacts of that decision. >> how can you say that? why is that true. >> because fifa as an international organization with a billion dollars plus in reserves has a responsibility under u.n. principals to ensure that its operations do not turn a blind eye to or directly involve serious human right

mr. jennings what needs to transpire? the same question i asked mr. hershman:? what needs to transpire, today or tomorrow that would give you hope that the corruption that you have described would be resolved internally within fifa? perhaps your answer depending on your testimony is that fifa has no future? is that different than what mr. hershman: is saying? >> fifa has to be dissolved. they don't want reform. we use words like reform, they think bully. they get arrested, i would just like to come back to concacaf because i am quite astonished at what i hear. reform, they have had one. we are on the third one i think. when mr. warner was taken out think -- thanks goodness, they had reform. they had reform meetings and they brought into men, jeffrey webb from cayman and a few years the fbi said, can you step this way please sir. now they are doing this again. who is this, horace burrell? a man who put his girlfriend in to vote at the fifa conference in 1998? they are so corrupt. the united states federation has been cowardly, because little peter jenkins, was it

mr. jennings has a greater role to play. i want to make certain you have a chance to tell us anything you would like for us to know in a sense to set the record straight if there's something you feel needs to be said, and also to ask you the question, is there something that you would ask from us as we try to ally in the efforts for change, reform, improvements. >> one thing i would like to crystallize, u.s. soccer would support an inquiry as a national association and have the authority to do so under the current governance. as it relates to your question what the u.s. senate could possibly do? we welcome any opportunity for the u.s. senate to weigh in with your counterparts in qatar or russia whoever it might be for any particular issue. we would welcome that and be ready to work with you on that as well. >> do you know if there's any ongoing conversations between u.s. government officials and other countries associated with fifa and these allegations and criminal indictments related to corruption at fifa? do you know whet

mr. jennings. let me start with mr. flynn in asking this question. you heard mr. jennings just said that u.s. soccer had to know. so the question is what did u.s. soccer know, what should you have known? and in particular with the indictments that alleged racketeering bribery, wire fraud, money laundering what's the reaction of u.s. soccer federation to that the charges at fifa, executives and board members, and also how is what does u.s. soccer federation know about concacaf in similar circumstances? its perceived it is the most corrupt of the very regional associations. what does u.s. soccer federation's no? >> thank you senator. i knew nothing about any corruption -- >> let me interrupt one moment. when you said you knew nothing, you speak just for you personally? >> i will say i or anybody that i've worked with has not got anything to my attention, cold hard facts regarding corruption within fifa or concacaf. >> that being said there's a couple of things i would like to point out in terms of -- >> mr. blazer has not been involved with u.s. soccer since 1986. he

mr. jennings what needs to transpire? what needs to transpire today tomorrow that would give you hope that the corruption you have described would be resolved internally within fifa and perhaps a laser based upon your testimony is fifa has no future it has to be with lace. is that different from what mr. hirschman is saying? >> yeah fifa has to be dissolved. they don't want reform. we despise her perform. got arrested, went home for years as members of his family got off the operation went on. i am quite astonished at what i hear. that would be the third one because when mr. blazer and mr. warner were out they had reform meetings. they placed transparent they and two men from the corrupt sports marketing company in a few years later the fbi. so now they are doing it again. horse corral a man to put a scarf framing to those in the congress in a team 98. they are so corrupt. the uss communities they federation has been cowardly. not a powerful country had the guts to stand up and say jack warner is stealing tens of millions

mr. jennings, is free for salvageable? >> salvageable? no, not at all. the corruption is so deeply embedded that if you cut thenot going head of the snake there is to build the wriggling about. america has to with bunc o its moral values join with other countries and justexp say, you stay there. we're out of here. we're not goingas to be contaminated by sitting in your meetingsse with a bunch of organized crime experts.ti it was good to see your fbi for your department ofth st justice has a system like that. i saw that before. i'm thyo glad that they came aboard.o you don't go to mr. john gotti and say there's too much heroin on the streets dealt of new york. w the could you cut back.fia thank you. a couple of keys of the street. thatstreet. that is not how you dealt with it. new line after them. >> is fee for salvageable? >> i would address that byif looking at the recent reforms. they have been sweeping. they are real. i would like to give it hope that that footprint could be used. i'm not an organizational expertkeop but i think that is. one option. a

mr. jennings an additional question. your our witness from outside the united states. what influence do you think that america has in regard to reforming fifa. >> i'd rather say change. well i certainly learned today that america is a terribly unimportant little country that's terrified of countries not agreeing with it. >> when the united states olympic committee realized it had a massive moral problem with it's crooks it didn't go ask anybody else. you don't have to go and ask the rest of the world is it all right if we have an inquiry in america into our own people. please. i find this very dispiriting about america being gutless. get on and do it. don't ask permission of other countries. it's your country and you have screwed up with fifa. i hear talk about reforms. i don't believe it from concacaf? is horace there? the same bunch of crooks there for 20 years. but you can do it. it's not that you have nuclear weapons that matters. you've got the sponsors, you've got the media and the moral power of this huge country and western europe will be straight in and say ca

mr. jennings? >> aiden: well, why don't you take a guess? >> justin: [exhales] is that what i think it is?

jen fred. >> i loved it, i agree. she has a couple years she's young. she can work on it. mr. hoff agrees with me.now what the song is quick. you have to get my attention quick. >> if you'd like isaiah text 650 -- i felt like i was ryan seacrest. is what your name. >> sean taylor. >> you have a theme who is your singing coach. >> renee king. >> so what will you sing for judges. >> i will sing knock me off your feet. >> stevey wonder. >> that is powerful. >> this guy must be confident. >> ♪ >> ♪ >> ♪ >> ♪ >> ♪ >> ♪ >> ♪ >> ♪ >> ♪ >> ♪ >> what do you think. >> if he got to the hook quick i was in. you are cute, a adorable, you can sing because i wanted him to get to the hook. >> he need work. >> leon. >> need work. >> wow. >> i think these two are related, leon they're related. >> mr. kenney gamble where are you. >> he has got the personality and he is a showmen i think he has something going. he has a nice voice. >> patty jackson. >> he a has the personality but again the hook, we need that hook. >> get to the hook. >> that is what the judges are saying get to the hook. >> is what your name. >> eri

inspector jens are not supposed to provide speculative, unconfirmed and inaccurate information to congress. i think mr. george would agree with that. they're not supposed to provide information they know is not credible. yet that is what happened in this case. based on this record i do not know why anyone would have confidence in any of the numbers issued by the inspector general. for those who want to cut to the bottom line, you need to turn to to page 6 of inspector general's written testimony for today's hearing. it's buried. i tell you, it's buried. but it says, and i quote a review of these e-mails did not provide additional information for the purposes of our investigation. and i hope that mr. george will explain that. so after all of this work and after spending millions of dollars, republicans still have no new information to support their allegations. some people may be wondering if these new e-mails do not advance the investigation in any way then what are they? what are they? let me give you a few examples which inspector general provided to us this week. i didn't do this. the inspector gen

jen, thank you for being with me today. >> thank you. it's a pleasure being with you today. >> tell me about the reaction you feel to mr.unning for president and now those that he made here yesterday. >> well it's just more of the same. he's doubling down on what are clearly racist comments. when he made his presidential announcement he ascribed terms as rapists, murderers, drug dealers to one set of people. when you do that and you do that to demonize and denigrate them and stereotype them that is by definition racism. and you don't have to take my word for it. the anti-defamation league is the leading organization that is an expert on what is racism and for him to not apologize or to clarify what he meant is highly offensive to latinos in this country, and particularly to mexicans and mexican-americans in this country. and as a mexican-american i was insulted and offended by his comments, but i wasn't the only one. >> janet, putting aside the fact that that was part of the question that i was starting to ask him when he decided to cut off any conversation putting aside false bravado and issues that don't really relate
