[gavel pounds] >> i would say what we just saw was a unanimous bipartisan determination by the january 6 select committee to ensure that our subpoenas are observed.

mr. raskin from maryland said. quote, i would love to challenge the electoral college vote because our election was badly tainted with everything from cyber sabotage by vladimir putin. that's what he said. and we went through -- we went through literally about four and a half years right up to the start of the november voting, the early balloting in arizona, of hillary clinton and her supporters in the media saying that the 2016 election was stolen by republicans. it is no secret that if you go back and look at polling data, everything from the bush v. gore era forward, the party whose candidate was not successful asserted that the election was not fair and impartial. no secret. every polling outlet from that point, 2001 right on up to 2020 claimed that. i advocated for a full forensic audit because i felt like election integrity should be restored. one of the biggest things that i find problematic here is that the two statutory minimum audits committed to by the county board of supervisors that were done could hav

mr. raskin. >> mr. raskin you said enough. we all have strong feelings.people should avoid engaging in personalities. mr. mcclintock. >> i think the real concern of a lot of parents is they attend a school board meeting to exercise their first amendment rights a fight breaks out, and the next thing you know they're tracked down by the fbi with a rap on the door, maybe a s.w.a.t. team in the morning because they simply happened to be there. that is a serious form of intimidation. whether it was intended or not, that's clearly the effect it's having and i think you need to be sensitive of that. i want to talk about the news we received yesterday that we have seen the highest number of arrests of people illegally crossing our border in the history of our country. 1.7 million arrests this year. it is a federal crime to cross the border outside of a port of entry, is it not? >> yes, it's a misdemeanor, that's true. >> your job is to prosecute federal crimes. how many are prosecuted of the 1.7 million? >> injustice department doesn't make those arrests. >> the

mr. raskin. you know better than that. have you read the whole audit or cherry picked? that we would have expected to be very similar and it was -- so anything that mai anurd to -- >> i'm happy to yield to you for that. who won in arizona, donald trump or -- >> we don't know because as the audit demonstrates clearly, mr. raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election that took place. >> like a good grift there, even though the audit confirmed something else, they want to say, oh, no, there's more, there's more, there's more. >> yeah, because they're going to see what they want to see in this report. you know, these third-party contractors who had little-to-no experience in doing this kind of work, they released this report that found the similar hand re-count had more votes for joe biden. but they spent two hours talking to the senate and telling me the different ways there could have been wrongdoing, things like, well, there might be a credible answer, but we don't understand. when you talk to the experts, experts across the board will tell you they're talking ab

mr. raskin. >> who won the election in -- >> we don't know. it demonstrates very clearly, mr. raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election that took place. >> madam chair, there is the problem that we have. donald trump refuses to accept the results. unfortunately we have one of the world's great political parties which has followed him off of the ledge of this electoral lunacy. >> claire, it seems to me the logical next person to be subpoenaed would be andy biggs if it was me. what do you think? >> well, all three of them. i mean, we have a witness who is now saying -- who has said publicly if you are investigating this that he was in coordination and cooperation with members of congress. now it may turn out after they're subpoenaed and we get their testimony that there was not anything that was beyond blind loyalty to a guy who doesn't understand the rule of law or what our democracy is all about, but we now know that there is someone who planned this that says he was working with members of congress. so them trying to avoid saying what they know is just not going to

mr. raskin or anybody else wants. you don't want government -- chain of process and certifying the process. you want somebody independent of that aspect. from the standpoint that we see this, there's problems. how about me? where did it come for me? the day after the election i was contacted by two individuals. one had security and fraud jobs with the banking world. the other one from fraud from the department of defense. they were monitoring the election. what they saw in arizona -- they were watching the secretary of state at the same time. what they saw from arizona drew their attention quickly. they saw numbers of 90, 60, 40 something thousands ballots drop into donald trump's category and come out. there may be a reason for that. we don't know. then they started watching and looking to the dumps. what i mean by that is, there's a first dump, multiple dumps, maybe nine or ten through the night. if they are random, which they should be, if the first dump was 61% for joe biden, you would expect the rest of the time

mr. raskin. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. raskin: thank you, madam speaker. today, donald trump said the insurrection took place on november 3. no, mr. trump, i'm sorry, that is an election and election validated by federal courts and eight judges nominated to the bench by president trump and all the way up to the united statessupreme court rejecting electoral fraud and corruption. we know an insurrection when we see one because we lived through one. under the banner of this continuing and deranged big lie, the stop the steal movement brought down the violent insurrection against this congress in an attempted coupe against vice president pence and interrupted the counting of electoral votes in american history because the worst attack on congress and injured and wounded more than 140 police officers. capitol officers, metro police officers and others breaking their nosees, breaking their next, breaking their arms, breaking their legs, their hearts and their spirit. we are investigating the attack on american democracy because

mr. raskin, you know better than that. >> mr.m happy to yield to you, who won the election in arizona, donald trump -- >> we don't know, as the audit demonstrates very clearly, mr. raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election that took place. >> it seems to me, especially from this report, the only reason, right, the election results from 2020 were maintained was based on the few people who had integrity, right? the few government officials who had integrity. so that is the question. in 2024, are we prepared for what is to come, when you have folks like congressman biggs continuing to lie about the results of the election? >> it's a great question, and it's a quet that we really don't know the answer to, because what we're seeing in the states is republicans trying to change the way that americans vote, in order to have a more trumpian view of what the election system should be. they're installing different political leaders and partisan people, and what you see here, is a sort of wholesale retelling of the 2020 election,

mr. raskin, he introduced legislation because he saw electronic manipulation and problems. and -- and it goes both ways, whether it be 2016, 2018, 2020. there's plenty to go around. so why not get it right this time. why not be transparent. that's how you gain trust of the american people. trust is transparency. madam chairwoman, thank you for the indulges. indulgence. i appreciate it. and i yield back. >> madam chairwoman, i have items to put in. >> they will be put in the record. >> thank you so much. one is february 26, 2021, "arizona republic." another one from representative bullock dated february 2021, "washington examiner." one from glenn greenwald, september 27. one -- a letter from, madam chair, to honorable trey gowdy dated february 25, 2018. another one from representative gerry connolly dated january 29, 2018. and the last one from "the baltimore sun" dated january 5, 2017, entitled representative jamie raskin not seeing electoral college challenge for trump. >> without objection. we have been told that mr. keller has logged on. mr. keller is now recognized for

mr. raskin introduced legislation because he saw electronic manipulation and problems. and it goes both ways. whether it be 2016, 2018, 2020, there's plenty to go around. but why not get it right this time? why not be transparent? that's how you gain trust with the american people. trust is transparency. madam chairwoman, thank you for the indulgence. thank you and i yield back. >> madam chairwoman i have articles. one is a piece from february 26, 2021, arizona public, another from the representative dated february 2021, washington examiner. one from glen greenwald, september 27th. one from madam chair to the honorable chair gadi, another from representative conley, and the last one from the baltimore sun dated january 5th, 2017. >> without objection. okay. we've been told mr. keller has logged on. mr. keller is now recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. and thank you very much to all of our witnesses for taking time to testify before the committee today. before addressing the subject of this hearing i'd like to take a moment for the majority to use its

mr. raskin, chairman of the subcommittee on civil rights and civil liberties, for an opening statement. >> madam chair, i thank you for calling this important hearing, and thank you for making our committee the leader in defending democracy and the voting rights of the people against this escalating onslaught by donald trump and his supporters against american constitutional democracy. we know that mr. trump never accepted the results of the 2020 presidential elections despite the fact that joe biden beat him by more than 7 million votes, 306 to 232 in the electoral college. donald trump moved quickly to try to write out the state election officials, and they were the first line of defense to democracy. people like sec. of state brad raffensperger in georgia who refused to participate in donald trump's election fraud, refusing to find 11,000 votes that donald trump said was all he needed in order to overturn the salt in the state. there were election officials across the country who repudiated donald trump's claims of corruption and fraud. in fact, his own homeland security department to

. >> mrs. raskin. >> has the chair recorded? >> mr. chairman, you are not recorded. >> i vote aye. >> the committee originally subpoenaed bannon several weeks back asking for documents and testimony about the critical period leading up to the insurrection which has been 286 days ago now when trump supporters attempted to prevent joe biden from taking office. in his refusal bannon cited the former president's claim of executive privilege, but of course bannon was a private citizen on 1/6 and during the run-up to that. the investigation shows that bannon had advance knowledge of what happened on january 6 and played a formative role in ensuring those plans. >> when you think about what we're investigating, a violent attack on the seat of our democracy perpetrated by fellow citizens on our constitution, an attempt to stop the certification of an election, it's shocking to me, shocking that anyone would not do anything in their power to assist our investigation. mr. bannon stands alone in his complete defiance of our subpoena. that's not a

mr. raskin for five minutes. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much. i'm sorry that just the sequencing of questioning puts the burden on me to respond to some of the disinformation we just heard. there's a report out today which shows the ten states with the lowest vaccination rate now have an infection rate four times higher than the rest of the country. it stands to reason. the vaccine is saving people's lives. this is a life and death matter. how many videos do we have to see of people who themselves were very proud not to get the vaccine and told other people not to get the vaccine who then ended up with covid-19 and are begging people to get vaccinated and are saying they are sorry for participating in all of the propaganda and disinformation against vaccines and against masks. i'm sorry to see that there are still people trying to sell that very dangerous notion against vaccines. by the way, why should a person get vaccinate first-degree they had covid-19? because they can get it again. we had colleague who had had covid-19 twice. people are dyi

mr. raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election that took place. >> again.ember, the results of that audit didn't change anything. didn't prove any kind of widespread fraud, it reaffirmed that joe biden actually won the election and even increased president biden's margin of victory there. i want to bring in senior politics reporter who has been covering this story. talk to us about what you saw today. >> yeah. i was really struck by just how partisan and how the different realities these members were arguably really living n.democrats wanted to shine a light on this partisan review and look at the sort of problematic processes and what experts said was inexperienced third-party contractors who didn't know what they were doing and were making it up as they went along and wanted to talk about that as this so-called audit spreads across the country and you see other counties and other states considering similar efforts, but instead republicans were saying, well, we don't know who won the election. it was really just two different worlds that which were talking

mr. raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election that took place.i'll reclaim my time. >> as long as you want. >> that was republican arizona congressman andy biggs today still refusing to say out loud what we all know to be fact. joe biden won the 2020 election in arizona. joe biden is indeed the president of the united states. still with us james carville and mark mckinnon. mark, what would it cost republicans to say that joe biden won the election fair and square in 2020? >> that's what's just so amaze jeff gordon the purity test that trump is rolling out is even in the face of obvious facts, republicans got a bunch of conspiracy theorists to run an audit and even they couldn't find -- they discovered that joe biden won more votes not less than donald trump after they controlled and pad for the audit themselves. controlled by trump and found more votes for biden and testifies to just how much of a stranglehold donald trump has. the greatest fraud is a notion of election fraud. almost a year. millions of dollars spent. hundreds of lawsuits and yet

mr. raskin. >> the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. >> i thank the distinguished gentlelady from wyoming, and thank you, madam speaker. today donald trump said the insurrection took place on november 3rd. no, mr. trump, i'm sorry. that's what we call an election in america, an election that was validated by more than 60 federal and state courts, including before eight judges nominated to the bench by president trump himself and all the way up to the united states supreme court, all of them rejecting every claim of electoral fraud and corruption that was advanced. we know an insurrection when we see one in this body, because we lived through one. under the banner of this continuing and deranged big lie, the stop the steal movement brought down a violent insurrection against this congress in an attemptive coup against vice president mike pence that interrupted the county of collected college votes in united american history, produced the worst attack on congress since 1812 and injured and wounded more than 140 police officers, capitol officers, metropolitan police department office

mr. raskin, chairman of the subcommittee on civil rights and civil liberties, for an opening statement. >> madam chair, i thank you for calling this important hearing, and thank you for making our committee the leader in defending democracy and the voting rights of the people against this escalating onslaught by donald trump and his supporters against american constitutional democracy. we know that mr. trump never accepted the results of the 2020 presidential elections despite the fact that joe biden beat him by more than 7 million votes, 306 to 232 in the electoral college. donald trump moved quickly to try to write out the state election officials, and they were the first line of defense to democracy. people like sec. of state brad raffensperger in georgia who refused to participate in donald trump's election fraud, refusing to find 11,000 votes that donald trump said was all he needed in order to overturn the salt in the state. there were election officials across the country who repudiated donald trump's claims of corruption and fraud. in fact, his own homeland security department to

mr. raskin who you were just talking to. >> too bad this didn't break while i was talking to him. >> reporter> thanks for that. let's make the transition here to human infrastructure real quick, the devil is always in the details. progressives, moderates, have not settled on those details. where are we on this? >> reporter: the details are hundreds of billions of dollars worth of spending on a variety of different programs. the deadline for trying to complete at least the top line number on this to unlock a vote on the other infrastructure bill would be the end of october in an ideal world for democrats and as i sit here today they are just not there. there's still significant disagreement primarily on. the senate side between joe manchin and everyone else, possibly kirsten scinma. joe manchin want to see targeted programs, means testing, aim these programs at people who need them the most. that's controversial within the democratic party because what it means to be in the working class or middle class can vary from place to place and so that's part of the challenge that democrats are trying

mr. raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election that took place.ho won the election. joe biden won arizona. the state election officials certified it. the republican governor of that state signed off on it. but trump has refused to accept it. as you saw, a number of lawmakers in his party are following him. >> sahil, thank you very much. >>> still ahead, gut wrenching testimony in an nbc exclusive. we'll hear what survivors of a deadly attack on a theeter in paris are saying about that terrifying night. instantly clear everyday congestion with vicks sinex saline. for fast drug free relief vicks sinex. instantly clear everyday congestion. and try vicks sinex children's saline. safe and gentle relief for children's noses.

mr. raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election that took place. >> we don't know? bro. we don't know. joe biden in the fraudit got more votes. that was the fraudit results. just last bweek the former president claimed the fraudit proved he won. exactly the opposite of what it proved. he lost. think about what happens if the gop wins in the midterms. that's the end of congressional hearings of the big lie. the end of any real efforts to stop the nationwide assault on the right to vote. did you hear me? maybe you're not paying attention now. maybe you didn't hear me. call your friends. text them. or social media, whatever it is. jump in their dms and tell them. you'd better pay attention. because the threat is very real. the gop still kowtowing to i adisgraced twice-impeached one-term ex-president. nikki haley telling the "wall street journal" they need him in the gop. mike pence trying to blame the media for the attack by violent rioters, trump supporters, who said they wanted to hang him, an attack that forced him to run for his life with his family. >> hang mike pence!

mr. raskin take down his words when talking about being a member of a cult. i wish he would stop pushing the big lie and they wouldn't have to worry about being in a cult. attorney general garland, i represent congressional district 16 in el paso, texas. we're coming into in hearing fresh off of the heels of a gravely unjust session in the texas state legislature where republicans engaged in deliberate, extreme partisan gerrymandering. texas gained two new house seats fueled by the growth in our latino population. instead of drawing maps reflecting the growth, republicans chose not to add latino districts. according to a lawsuit filed by the mexican american legal defense fund, drew maps that diluted the voting rights of latinos. this process was opaque and nontransparent perhaps because texas republicans hired a political operative. i ask unanimous consent to enter into the record an article from the texas tribune entitled "texas appears to be paying a secret political open ty $120,000 annually to work on redistricting." >> without objection. >> thank you so

mr. raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election that took place. >> we're in this moment, right, where folks like kevin mccarthy could actually be held in criminal contempt by not abiding by these subpoenas. you got a bipartisan investigation into january 6th, but there are millions of americans that we just heard from that don't believe, essentially, january 6th even happened. nothing wrong happened. and you have congressmen that have been elected by americans who continue to deny the results of the 2020 election. >> yeah, yasmin, there's a lot at play here. first, politicians have the opportunity to either lead public opinion or follow and what you see is a bunch of weak republican leaders in washington following the republican or the public opinion that has been set by donald trump. but what you also see in congressman biggs's statement is this. there are some conspiracy theorists in the gop, even in elected office, there are conspiracy theory lite, if you will, as well, but they also face the reality that the party today, nearly two-thirds, according to some polls, believes t

mr. raskin about medicare and social security, i heard mr. smith give a passionate defense of medicare. i appreciate that, we support medicare. republicans opposed that care, there are a lot of republicans that voted for medicare, not the majority of republicans at the time, many did they felt that was part of the general welfare -- >> a majority of republicans did support medicare. >> a great number did, i don't know if it was the majority. a great number did. >> at the time, i remember ronald reagan famously talking about it being socialism. it is turned out to be something both parties did rightfully, it was typified by some people is socialism. we rely now on as a social safety net, we spoke eloquently about the defense of medicare. same thing is true of social security, medicaid, public schools. i understand we disagree about what goes into that general welfare. where the government ought to invest. i will say this, i have the privilege of serving on the house armed services committee, we are talking about peer adversaries, keeping pace, and facing threats. we have to have the best

mr. raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election. >> we have people today in this hearing trying to perpendicular -- perpetrate the big lie. >> that's actually an important exchange. when that individual says we don't know. that's not true. we do know. more importantly, while some things can be debated in life, we have a system of law. the law determines who won the election and after that whether you claim to know or not is really your own personal problem. it is what in congress might be known as a you problem, because we do know. we know republicans lost the white house. we know republicans lost the congress. so when they run around spending time and your taxpayer dollars saying the other things that had in their mind doubt or they don't know or worse they claim that somebody else won, they're just not in office, all of that is false. so the big lie pushers at the hearing are of course in the minority. so in a way, it's kind of like a cell phone. but i want to be clear with you, this is the top story now because it is about the present and the future, not just the past. and in

mr. raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election that took place. >> i mean, that's just complete bull. it's amazing that that person is a sitting congressman. that person is just lying. it's become so normal, hasn't it? just incredible to me. congressman biggs is one of several lawmakers being looked at by the house select committee for his in the former president's rally which preceded the attack on the capitol. the committee issued more subpoenas today. meantime four of his former top aides and allies are facing a midnight deadline to turn over documents to the committee. so no, none of this is history yet and sadly it is still current events. forrar month on the subpoenas i want to go to cnn's ryan nobles at the capitol. so what do we know right now? what's going on? >> well, anderson, today the select committee issuing a round of subpoenas to a new group of individuals and these are people that were connected to the stop the steal organization, which planned and organized the stop the steal rally, which served as the prelude of course to the insurrection here at the capitol o

mr. raskin, is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. madam chair, donald trump's party of denialism is engaged in campaigns of propaganda and disinformation about climate change, which he said was a chinese hoax, covid-19, which he said would disappear by easter of last year. the 2020 presidential election, which he continues to claim that he won despite the fact that joe biden beat him by more than 7 million votes. 306 to 232 in the electoral college, and of course, the violent january 6th insurrection, which he says really took place on november 3rd, and adding for good measure that the pro-trump rioters treated our police officers with hugs and kisses, which is presumably how more than 140 of them ended up injured with broken noses, necks, vertebrae, arms, legs, and so on. trump's party has turned the denial of facts, science, and history into standard operating procedure. and we see the idealogical machinery of lies working overtime today. but as astronomer neil degrasse tyson has observed, the great thing about science is it's true

mr. raskin. >> mr. raskin, you said enough. we all have strong feelings. people should avoid engaging in personalities. mr. mcclintock. >> i think the real concern of a lot of parents is they attend a school board meeting to exercise their first amendment rights, a fight breaks out, and the next thing you know, they're tracked down by the fbi with a rap on the door, maybe a s.w.a.t. team in the morning because they simply happened to be there. that is a serious form of intimidation. whether it was intended or not, that's clearly the effect it's having, and i think you need to be sensitive of that. i want to talk about the news we received yesterday that we have seen the highest number of arrests of people illegally crossing our border in the history of our country. 1.7 million arrests this year. it is a federal crime to cross the border outside of a port of entry, is it not? >> yes, it's a misdemeanor, that's true. >> your job is to prosecute federal crimes. how many are prosecuted of the 1.7 million? >> injustice department doesn't make those arrests. >>
