they want roosevelt had established the practice of creating presidential libraries you're building presidential libraries and then he placed his materials there for people to see and it was his at his discretion of what he wanted people to see and and so the other the subsequent presidents operated according to that same logic and nobody thought that that these would become public and nixon fought tooth and nail to make sure that they didn't become public. there was a lot of wrangling from 74 through 78 by the time that that congress. past the presidential records act but then it went beyond that as well. the nixon estate got very involved and mixing himself got very involved over precisely what could be disclosed and it was decided that the materials that were of a purely personal nature would not be disclosed but other other information or other other materials pursuant to the president's discharge of his powers of office. those would all be made public. and nixon fought really hard, but but ultimately we now have these 3400 hours which doesn't mean that that there aren't materials that have

brought by presidential advice, presidential candidates to address the apparent submission or refusal to provide a certificate in accordance with state laws. i think that again, that will focus the course attention and enable these matters to be addressed expeditiously. even within a six-day period. if, in fact, it would help the passage of the bill to add a few days. it will -- -- that will certainly be considered. widespread concern about a provision in the current law. the current law that would allow state legislatures to declare a failed election and appoint their own electors. mr. bauer -- can you -- appointing their own election but ignoring the votes in their states. mr. bauer, quickly explain how the bipartisan bill solves this problem? >> it solves this problem in my view very effectively. by providing that states may pursuant to -- determine that extraordinary and catastrophic events that could've necessitate a modification in a period of voting. and that's key. the remedy here is a modification in the period of voting. it does not allow the states to use the excuse and tha

under that provision, federal constitutional or legal challenges brought by a presidential or vice presidential candidate will be heard by a district court an expedited basis. any appeals would go directly to the u.s. supreme court expedited review. finally, the reform act fills another statutory gap by addressing how congress should handle revised certificates issued by a governor under the order of a state or federal court. the reform act makes clear that congress will accept such a certificate. this provision modernizes federal law and congress's process for counting electoral votes. i think the committee again for its time and attention on this matter and look forward to the committee's questions. sen. klobuchar: very good. next up, ambassador eisen. mr. eisen: thank you chair klobuchar, ranking member blunt, and the distinguished members of this committee for inviting me and my colleagues to testify today on the electoral count act and the need for reform and for your bipartisan attention to this critically important questions. the need for reform is profound. the flaws in the eca were on

tyler, was vice presidential candidate. new in tyler too was very deliberative, it the irony of this is that harrison was actually a pretty wealthy candidate. he grew up in a pretty wealthy estate in west virginia hey lived in ohio when he was 22. close to the ohio river martin van buren was some of the tavern owner in upstate new york. van buren was actually the common man candidate, harrison was the elitist. the whigs were able to make it so it seems like van buren was an elitist ever since branding and trying to distill the branding down to a slogan has been with us ever since all the way to make america great again and, you know? >> is this a good way in your view i'm not just talking about recent crystallization of ideas down to 140 characters but is this a healthy way to run a democracy? >> [laughs] that is a good question. there is no way around it, obviously. this is the system that we have. there are pros and cons. obviously the easy answer is, no it's not. we should have discussions of issues. and we should vote o

it's the presidential reform act. as the ranking member on the subcommittee on elections and house administration i have to admit i'm disappointed we didn't have the opportunity to thoughtfully review the legislation before us. in fact we haven't had a hearing in the subcommittee on elections since july. so i think now is our moment, unfortunately, with only 30 minutes on the minority side, to actually dive in and analyze the legislation before us. with any important piece of legislation, in particular one like this, that impact ours national elections and the elections of our president, the first question i ask myself is will the bill before us boost people's confidence in our election process? and the bill fails the test. i highlight in particular section 4 of this bill that gives kanldz dates a loophole -- candidates a loophole to define what a catastrophic event is which might include a natural disaster or a national health emergency like covid. why is this so important? the candidate for president could, up to a

the vice president of east has no personal discretionary power over the presidential vote. it is common sense to protect states privacy in appointing their electors, but also strengthen requirements as states publicize their -- publicize the rules before the elections and stick to them. it is common sense to make technical changes to other related laws like the presidential transition, and is common sense that our colleagues leave chaos generating ideas on the cutting room floor. or inventing new causes of action for litigation that would throw every election into the courts. the legislation before us with this text in this form, leaves congress one option, to get an outcome. in my view, this is not an opportunity we should mess up. so in closing, i want to again thank my colleagues for their weeks and weeks of hard work on this. let's preserve the legislation as introduced and report out this important bill. thank you, madam chairman. sen. klobuchar: thank you very much, senator mcconnell. i'm going to introduce the manager's amendment and then i know we have some other me

the best vice presidential selection oh, geez. yeah, well you mentioned the worst in andrew johnson, obviously. yes, that did not work out. so well. i like truman. really. i mean true truman the quite a good president and it's really interesting how he became how he ended up as fdr's running mate in 1944 because fdr of courses first eight years, john yance garner. we just quoted was his vice president and then in 1940. he henry wallace became vice president. he was president vice president between 40 and 44. he was very liberal and by 1944 a lot of people in a democratic party. they i mean they knew roosevelt was not in good health. they didn't say no. he's gonna die a few months into his next term, but they knew he was not good health and some southerners and conservatives were not thrilled with wallace because they thought he was too liberal and they thought he was too much on the side of civil rights for blacks, and he was also pretty eccentric. you know, he's what we today called you followed a lot of new age spiritual beliefs

records act but remind people how that event fostered the action of the presidential records act. >> it's interesting. the presidential records before watergate were the property of the president which kind of sounds odd to us today but it's only after watergate and t the passage of the presidential records act which was in part passed by the post-watergate democratic congress to sort of punish nixon but establish this new regime where now all presidential records with the we property of the united states government and there was a process for taking those documents and looking through them and now these presidential libraries that didn't always exist before hand so the presidential documents are a different thing. when i was in the white house i served as a george w. bush administration and we had a very strict rules about what we could do. if i took notes in a meeting those notes were not mind to take home. they are sitting there in the library right now with boxes and boxes i don't know if people can decipher my handwriting but they are there in the library and that is where they

the right is here is presidential library and. then over here on the right that you can't see also is his burial place we the place of meditation here as well. so to me this is sort of an encapsulation of his life where he grew up he actually worked to have this museum established. he chose to have his presidential documents in a repository here. and he decided that he and family should be interred on our site. so we're really honored to preserve what he wanted this property. thank don. michael, what's next? the plessy lakeside, please. oops. sorry, i did it back a whole. i was proud of beverly wilson. clearly. thanks. oh, i think that's fair. yes. it's great to you. right. all right yeah. so that's definitely so what's next is is reinterpreting the rest of our site partly due to covid. we did the interiors of the guest house first. now they're self-guided. people can go through without being in a small space. someone speaking the whole time. so our exteriors. next slide, please. and basement spaces and we will be able to reinterp

but ignores the presidential records act, which says quite clearly that all presidential records are to be in the custody of the national archives. so, it's almost kind of hard to read. it's really, it's a bit hysterical. it's very kind of emotionally drafted. and it kind of jumps all over the place. i do think they are trying to attack the validity of the search warrant in a sort of roundabout way, knowing, i'm sure, as they do that attacking the search warrant is not something you do in front of a different federal judge, and from a different courthouse. there is a time that a target of investigation, once their charge, they have the opportunity to attack the search warrant, they are kind of trying to do that here in a roundabout way that does not seem particularly effective to me. but that seems to be what they're doing. >> and again, a reminder. the hearing for which this filing is intended to morrow is about the special. master it is not about the search warrant exactly, per se. all right, andy, standby for second. i want to go back to kaitlan collins. who has been reading more.

it's the presidential reform act. as the ranking member on the subcommittee on elections and house administration i have to admit i'm disappointed we didn't have the opportunity to thoughtfully review the legislation before us. in fact we haven't had a hearing in the subcommittee on elections since july. so i think now is our moment, unfortunately, with only 30 minutes on the minority side, to actually dive in and analyze the legislation before us. with any important piece of legislation, in particular one like this, that impact ours national elections and the elections of our president, the first question i ask myself is will the bill before us boost people's confidence in our election process? and the bill fails the test. i highlight in particular section 4 of this bill that gives kanldz dates a loophole -- candidates a loophole to define what a catastrophic event is which might include a natural disaster or a national health emergency like covid. why is this so important? the candidate for president could, up to a

presidential records on the presidential records act came about after a very specific chapter in american history. can you talk about why the perry, the presidential records act, is important? and what it signified in a post nixon era? >> okay. i'll take my time machine back to the 1970s when richard nixon was leaving office. you get a lot of embarrassing documents. people who visited the west wing at the time he was leading notice that there are a lot of fireplaces working overtime, and the acrid smell of documents being burned. plus, nixon had arranged to happen military planes illicitly take some of these documents out to where he was going for his retirement. finally, he made a deal with the new president that he never should've made which side, there's gonna be a -- california. it sounds like something and a hitchcock film. walter, california, nixon's -- one key to be held by the national archives, the other key to be held by richard nixon, with the suggestion that if nixon decided to use his key and destroy every document that was embarrassing to him, he can do it. congress and

a final debate among presidential hopefuls and rio de janeiro. while many expected the 2 leading candidates, former president reecy mass eula, the cbo, simple, did cover to use up and incumbent candidate president j eatable. so now to, to provide details of their political platforms, the conversation ended up being more about accusing each other of lies and corruption, missouri. we sunday dad g. this is insane. the president of the republic comes here speaking nonsense, and that's why on october, the 2nd the people will send him home. we are going this final presidential debate marked the last time the candidates would meet face to face before brazilians. head to the polls on sunday, truman low to anchor's force for president jade ball so narrow. this was also a last chance to close the gap between himself and his main rival. former president lula who has maintained a commanding lead. according to pulling data services north foremost, oh really? i think the almost all we're a government that tends to the needs of the poorest. look at your, in lou

but the presidential records in the presidential records act came about after a very specific chapteramerican history. can you talk about why the pr right, the presidential records act, is important? and what it signified in a post nixon era? >> okay. i will take my time -- the 90s back to the 90s -- >> please do. >> when richard nixon was driven out of office, he held a lot of embarrassing documents. people who visited the west wing at the time he was leaving, i've noticed that there are a lot of fireplaces working overtime. and the -- of documents being burned, plus nixon had arranged to have military planes illicitly take some of these documents out to san clemente, where he was going to his retirement. finally, he made a deal with jerry -- gerald ford -- the new president, than ever should've may, generals for, which said -- sounds like something the hitchcock film. a vault in california, nixon tapes and papers will go into the vault and there will be two keys. one key to be held by the national archives, the other key to be held by richard nixon, with the suggestion that if nixon

his presidential pick was richard nixon. his vice presidential pick was henry cabot lodge junior. it was not so much nixon picking lodge, it was eisenhower picking lodge. and, at the time lodge was the representative for the united states. and was the main person who talked about the russians being evil, and made a tremendous amount of television time. he had the ability, he was a boston robin. by the way, you might not know the person who wrote the biography on henry cabot lodge jr.. it is luke nichter. >> it was not a self serving question, i promise. third misunderstanding i highlighted about the 1960s on the democratic side. also interesting that on the 1960s senator john f. kennedy, that candidate would not have been elected president without johnson, it was really eisenhower the trip to the south. louisiana and 56. virginia both campaigns, began to eat away at the democratic south. would kennedy have won the presidency without lyndon johnson from to texas to hold down the democratic south? >> as we would say in the most area tight turns, not a snowball's chance.. what lyndon

slightly again, as he had launched, people empowers next billions was said to choose between 2 presidential candidates with radically different ideology. on one side, the current president posted on hard line conservative on the other one was social distributive lisinopril. the last day with our 0 coverage given the lecture me america remains deeply divided over the outcome of its last presidential race and the violent attempts that followed to overturn the result. as midterm election is draw near, it reflects stopped the opposing interpretations of freedom that threatened the nation's democratic consensus. in the 1st 2 reports has been to investigate these bitter archaeological clash, and those seeking to rotate, ah ah, donald trump knew there were armed men in the mob that gathered on january 6th, 2021 in washington, dc to protest his loss of the presidential election, make no mistake. this election was stolen from you from me, from the country. according to congressional testimony, trump was deeply involved in efforts to disrupt the counting of electoral votes and hold on to power. but t

florida governor randa santas is the favorite to be the 2024 republican presidential nominee. if durham falters, the left wants to marginalize the conservative half of the country. they wanna deal jeremiah our founding institutions. and they want to replace that with their left wing. eddie ology as the foundational principles of our modern day society. we went to florida to explore de santis his policies. our 1st stop was before accounting, were battles over education have been intent at a community fair. kim huff was campaigning for a seat on the provide county school board. we just need our community to constantly be support of our public education. and in. ready with 2021, hug started an organization called families for safe schools that wanted children to wear masks in class. to protect against coven, 19 or governor has been that you can not require math. and we were real concerned about the safety of our kids health. and we quickly found out that our school system was kind of being attacked from a political angle that we hadn't known was happening. a conservative group ca

the curator for the gerald are poor presidential museum, who came to the four presidential museum in 1996. since, then his helped curate and shape our -- over 70 exhibits, including the centennial exhibits of both president and mrs. ford, as well as the renovations of the museum, the court exhibit in 1997 and 2016. he has a bachelors degree of history and political science from oklahoma baptist university and a masters from kansas, where he serves as an adjunct professor, teaching american history and ancient history. don, welcome. are you with us? >> i am, patrick. thank you for having me. >> excellent! how are you doing? and most importantly, how is the staff doing? are you guys reopen? there's obviously a lot of energy to get all these museums reopened. how are things there? >> we hope to share some of that energy, and soon. the staff is doing well. they are eager to get back. the library is in phase one, so some of the archivists are returning and doing some work on site. the museum continues in phase zero, but the numbers are trending our way. and so we hope, in short order, to

we've already heard from presidential vote. so that of who's been speaking directly to women knowing very well that he's not pulling as well as his rival, a former president lula when it comes to female voters here in brazil, president bush. so now it was very much trying to close that gap between himself and, and lula who is leading by as much as 50 percent. again, this is important because according to electoral law, here in brazil in order to win the presidency in this 1st round election that's taking place on sunday october, the 2nd a candidate must receive at least 50 percent of the vote plus one vote. now we will find out on sunday whether or not either for president lula or president j. u. so now you are able to obtain that thresh hold a 50 percent plus one if they are unable to do so. the scenario that were expected that's likely to play out is a run off election that 2nd round of voting would take place at the end of the month on october. the 30th and these elections in brazil are being seen as some of the most divisiv

this is a judge who then knew absolutely nothing about the law governing presidential records. a judge who knew absolutely nothing about the laws governing records handling, legal documents. that judge, from her position of full ignorance of these matters in this case, immediately said. immediately. she was inclined to do what donald trump wanted her to do. today, finally, hearing directly from jay brat, chief of the counterintelligence and export control section of the justice department's national security division, judged alien mercedes cannon was more restrained in her statements, and reserved judgment on the question of a special master. saying that she would issue a written opinion, and order, quote, in due course. which is can theoretically mean in the next minute or two, or next week, or anything in between. special master's have been used in criminal investigations involving the seizure of evidence that could include evidence protected by the attorney client privilege. federal prosecutors have said that they have already sorted out those documents, which they say is a

he went to the final presidential debate last night. what was it like?t started at 10:30 in the evening because brazilians have to watch soap operas and nothing can stop that. it was angry and unruly. at one point the presenter asked candidates to be civil to each other. it set the tone for what we will see sunday. the main topics were issues of hunger and poverty. i think those are the big things that worry millions of brazilians here going through a crisis. they want to know what iwill be the next four years. >> what is the atmosphere here in brazil as the election rapidly approaches? >> i think it is uncertainty. up until a few weeks ago it would be two rounds. it was obvious, people thought it was clear. the last few weeks we have seen the gap between the two top candidates widen. there is a real chance lula could win in the first round avoiding a runoff. then what happens? how will bolsonaro react? what might this mean for the future of brazil? >> that's the key question. katy watson, thank you so much. thank you all for watching this special editio

for example, the presidential press secretary is sure that the destruction of the gas pipeline. this is another reason to buy an electric car. as you know, nord stream 2 natural gas was not supplied to europe through this gas pipeline, and nord stream was completely turned off, one of which did not work for weeks. because putin turned energy into a weapon, we talked about it many times, what happened again emphasizes the importance of finding alternative sources of gas and other fuels for europe, as well as the need to reduce gas consumption and switch to more environmentally friendly fuels. oh, luntik switch to environmentally friendly fuel. yes , this is said by people who are more likely to be involved in the fact that such a huge amount of methane got into the baltic sea and into the atmosphere that most of you will not even be able to imagine it, the same people who teach you life could well blow up gas pipeline and provoke the worst environmental disaster in history, if they are really involved in this, then this is without a doubt the most reckless and destructive act tha
