noam: there are a couple.om credit reporting agencies, if you are going to be lending people money, you need to make sure they are a good risk. if those safeguards are not in place, could we get back to a situation where we were before the 2008-2009 financial crisis were people took on more than they could, etc.? the other argument, an interesting one, is that from the collections industry is essentially that if medical offices, hospitals are not able to essentially have a threat to report you if you don't pay your bill, they are going to start demanding you pay upfront for you actually get your procedure, and there is an argument to be made that if that happens, does that put more barriers in front of people? ali: is this just a band-aid for broader problems in our health care system here in america? noam: sure, yes, it is a band-aid. there are underlying problems, people cannot pay $2000 medical bills and the end of going into debt. i would say that some of the efforts to address the worst problems associate

i look forward to the opportunity to meet governor noam -- noam at some point -- to meet governor noem at some point. i yield the floor. mr. grassley: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. mr. grassley: everybody knows that except for native americans, this great nation of ours is a nation of immigrants. we're one of the most welcoming nations in the world, maybe the most welcoming to immigrants. because about a million people come here every year legally. my family has been blessed by two -- a daughter-in-law of 45 years from south korea, a granddaughter-in-law of about six or seven years from ethiopia. i've learned much from them, and i think america is great because of the people that come here. but we're also a nation based on the rule of law, and we have not seen that immigration law enforced over the last four years. so i'm going to be voting for governor noem because she's committed to enforcing our immigration laws. i think secretary mayorkas felt in his heart that we ought to give the american land of opportunity, the opportunity to anybody who wanted to

but it's, it's not often been abided by and the media tends to be a noam chomsky and edward herman wrote a book called manufacturing concepts which is the critique of the u. s. media and how they tended to play up only the atrocities of official government at u. s. government, and these, whether russia or china and to ignore those of us allies. but again, these railways have gone so far this time that the media to sustain any credibility had to report some of what was going on and the heretic things that they're doing. is there anything in the timing of, of what's coming? i've done, mike, we see more such coverage emerging. i think so, cuz the cat is out of the bag, so to speak. i mean that and yeah, been indicted in the world. court of the atrocities you know, cannot be ignored. and i need to also, i think we lived now and the age of social media. so so much is report. and a lot of the young people, you know, get their news off social media. so they, they saw what's going on for a long time. and again, in the media, you know, they are businesses, they're trying to attract viewers and to

john, what do you make of noam's testimony? >> you know, brianna, we heard a lot of the same. and i think what, you know, i think is interesting is the justification for all of this. and immigration enforcement, especially the mass deportation side of this, is public safety. but the tactics that she's talking about are really not ones designed to promote public safety. right. worksite raids, for instance. i think she mentioned it's come out that they're going to reinstitute worksite raids, but you don't go to meatpacking plants and and farm sites to find transnational gang members, right? they don't punch a clock and take a regular job. they make their living off, you know, working for drug cartels, things of that nature. and so my point is that, you know, in the populations, they say they're going to focus on this. people have been ordered removed but didn't actually leave the country. that is a population that didn't, you know, was not detained because somebody, whether ice or an immigration judge, decided they didn't pose a threat to public safety. they had no criminal hist

hoy ha sido el turno de christie noam, la gobernadora de dakota del sur, que fue propuesta para ser laa de seguridad nacional. hasta ahora ha respondido inquietudes de los senadores, entre otras cosas, acerca de las politicas que serian implementadas en la frontera sur del pais. de llegar a ser confirmada en el cargo. >> yes, if confirmed and and i have the opportunity to be secretary on day. one cbp one will be shut down. there's data and information in there that we will preserve. so that we can ensure. we know who is coming into this country. and who s already here that we need to go find top priority as a nation. we have the right and the responsibility to secure our borders against those who would do us arm and we must create a fair and a lawful immigration system. that is efficient and is effective and that our values. >> por cierto, para el proximo lunes, dia de la toma de posesion de donald trump, esta prevista una reunion en el capitolio para ultimar detalles sobre la nominacion de otros de los postulados. marco rubio como secretario de estado. y este viernes se anuncio la dec

i mean it's as important law, but it's, it's not often been divided by and the media tends to be a noam chomsky and edward herman wrote a book called manufacturing concepts which is a critique of the u. s. media and how they tended to play up only the atrocities of official government at u. s. government entities, whether russia or china and to ignore those of us allies. but again, these railways have gone so far this time that the media to sustain any credibility had to report some of what was going on and the heretic things that they're doing. is there anything in the timing of, of what's coming? i've done, mike, we see more such coverage emerging. i think so, cuz the cat is out of the bag, so to speak. i mean that and yeah, been indicted in the world. court of the atrocities you know, cannot be ignored. and i mean, i also, i think we live now in the age of social media so, so much is report and a lot of young people, you know, get their news off social media. so they, they saw what's going on for.

performative i'll show you an image of christy noam who was just confirmed opener who is confirmed departmente unsecured he. it's almost a game where she seems to be cosplaying i'm not sure what she thinks she is portraying she might as well be a comic-con. >> james enjoys just saying role-playing and having fun. >> bottom line let's talk about chicago for a minute. the chicago mayor says we put fear in elementary schools because ice to goat school. but we didn't in new york today was save children. we arrested nine sexual predators most of them child predators. we took them off the street in new york today. we are protecting the community and saving children. we are going to save the border so last children die of fentanyl death. we are securing the border so people on terrorist watches can get into the country. with biden 3500% increase and people on terrorist watch list. you're going to do it they're not going to stop us. >> they support you, good luck and be safe and hopefully you don't get too much more trouble out of these people up your thank you tom homan good luck. >> gotcha. >> taxp

of the most consequential elections in history as the american op have see this case has no crime, noamesno proof, facts, no law only a highly conflicted judge pretty star witness who is a disbarred disgrace to serial perjurer and criminal election interference. >> democracy, it is not just an idea. it is a process. a process shaped by leaders and elected to the highest offices and entrusted to a select a few regarding its basic principles. it's where debates unfold, decisions are made and the nation course is a charted pig . democracy in real time. this is your government at work. this is c-span giving you your democracy unfiltered. >> have you ever miss any of c-span's coverage you can find it any time online at c-span.org. videos of key hearings, debates and other events feature markers that guide you to interesting and newsworthy highlights but these points of interest markers appear on the right-hand side of your street when you hit play on select videos. this timeline told makes it easy to quickly get an idea about was debated and did

when it comes to confirming governor noam there is no time to waste. few agencies are more important to the nation and her safety and her security in the department of homeland security. any delay denies our country a homeland security secretary at a time when open borders in danger every american in this country today. potential risks to their safety as well as their security. here in the senate senate republicans are working around the clock to confirm qualified nominees like kristi noem and like treasure in sean duffy we will be in the senate voting as long as it takes and how long it takes in the senate is up to the democrats to decide. our committees with the nominees on a bipartisan basis in a rapid clip. we need to confirm them on the senate floor without delay, that's what republicans intend to do. thank you, mr. president i yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum. >> i rise to talk about the pending matter of the pete hegseth nomination secretary of defense. before i get into the bulk of my comments i want to save my own record in

first the president of columbia went off on our rant that would make somebody like noam chomsky or bernie proud of. it was pure socialism, unadulterated marxism. he put out a statement think you can turn to carry out a coup with your economic strength and arrogance i was his torture and i resist you. i want columbia to be next to lovers of freedom and if you can't accompany me i will go elsewhere. he talked about slavery and colonialism. a lot of bravado. there was no -- more bravado right home in america as i mentioned on the left. alexandra a car seal cortez she was very concerned. not so much about the level of illegal immigration in the united states. she is trying to step over illegal immigrants on the streets of new york city has longer she is going to starbucks to get you for coffee. that is what she is concerned about. she says to punish columbia trump is about to make every american pay even more for coffee. remember we pay the tariffs not columbia. trump is not making -- trump is making inflation worse for americans, not better. concerns about the price of flowers as we head int

andy, let's start with noam's confirmation. what more can you tell us about how things went? >> well, it was a pretty smooth process from start to finish. seven democratic senators joined with republicans to confirm gnome to lead the department of homeland security, and we expect her to be sworn in shortly. but now that gnome has cleared the hurdle of being confirmed by congress, her real work actually begins. as the head of dhs, gnome is going to have the daunting task of enacting all of donald trump's most ambitious and aggressive immigration proposals. from what he wants to do with the southern border to his mass deportation plan. and that is going to take a lot of effort on her part, to say the least. beyond that, her agency is going to oversee fema, which deals with disaster relief. and donald trump, as recently as yesterday, said that he thought maybe that agency fema could disappear, could go away. and that is going to raise a lot of questions about how gnome is going to handle that, specifically, as california recovers from disastrous wildfires and the south recovers

is that your purview here, or is that secretary noam's purview?> secretary noem has the authority over border patrol and ice. that's that's in statute. but as the senior advisor to the president, i'm writing strategic vision and operational plans and coming up with a strategy to secure the border and to run this deportation operation and to find over 300,000 missing children and me and secretary noem will work very close on those plans and to to implement them and, and do what the president wants us to do. so me and kristi noem will be shoulder to shoulder every day. we talk every day. so we've been working together to to achieve the president's goals. >> how often are you talking to the president himself about this? >> several times a week. >> and on, one of the things that we've been seeing is you're publicly talking about this first week. you know, i saw the numbers that i.c.e. put out tonight that we we started asking you about. we also saw this video last week of something you told me was going to happen using military flights. this is a c-17

during governor noams's confirmation hearing to be homeland security secretary, she said that cisa needs to be "much smaller to fulfill their mission." do any of you agree that cisa should be smaller, given the number of threat actors that are targeting the united states every day in the cyberspace? i will take that as a no. i'll also note, by the way, that she was one of only 2 governors who turned down federal grants for her state to strengthen cybersecurity as well. so there's a pattern here that is concerning that i'm sure we will ask her about when she comes before this committee, assuming she is confirmed. i also want to commend, well, a number of the recommendations that have been made, i think are terrific and make great sense. i want to commend you again, admirable, -- admiral for , targeting the issue of critical infrastructure. i'm the co-sponsor of a bill with congressman crenshaw called the contingency plans for critical infrastructure act. to mandate that we identify and have contingency plans for critical infrastructure in the event of a cyberattack. also the role of the n
