so the senate can is not impeded by the filibuster. it can move forward consider its other business. that was a big change 1975 was the other major change was the reduction of the cloture requirement from 2/3 to 60 senators. so that way in theory, it should be easier to move bills and with that seven vote difference, but in reality, it's rare that there are more than 60 people from one party in the senate. scott bomboy a lot of viewers will hear the word filibuster and they'll think of strom thurmond in the late 1940s and civil rights. what happened then? well, i think it was the the later in 1950s as strong thurman undertook the longest filibuster, which was 24 hours to. block a civil rights act. it was not a significant as to what i'm 1964 and his filibuster reaction. we did fail, but the act was not meaningful in 1964. the civil rights act was the major civil rights act of the era. it was kind of the culmination of generations of civil rights efforts, and it was a group filibuster led by four or five southern democratic and that was

so a senator from california. senator new york, a senator from michigan. just the absolute strain on their. oh, yeah, he had an energy. i mean it's well i'll tell you the part that that blows my mind is the amount of money that these candidates have raise to run in these large states with all of these markets. i mean, you know, it's it's not unusual $50 million for a a senate campaign is is not that unusual. these in some of these states. oh, i never i don't think we spent more than two and a half, $3 million. who do you prefer, heinrich or ben lujan? i bought good men. they're both good. then they're hard workers. they're both working hard. yeah. and very, very committed to their constituents. i agree with. i think we're just incredibly fortunate. have senator luann in northern new mexico because mean this is his home he knows everything he needs to know about northern new mexico sir thank, you appreciate it. cha cha. do you want to take some questions? you want to take some questions? okay. all right. cecile, there you are. hi, jeff. is there. hey, how a

flake, senator rubio, senator schumer, senator bennet of colorado and senator men then december and -- senator menendez and myself. we worked for almost a year to put together comprehensive immigration reform, long overdue, and it included border security at a level unseen in america ever. we were prepared to invest billions of dollars to make our border safe. we passed this bill with, i think, 678 votes here -- 68 votes here on the floor of the senate. i thought finally, after 30 years of talking about immigration, and batting it back and forth between democrats and republicans, we're finally going to do something on a bipartisan basis. we took that measure, sent it over to the republican-led house of representatives. they refused to even consider it. refused to consider it. so when i hear concerns and complaints today that our border just isn't safe enough, i agree. but i ask those who are complaining where were you when we brought this bipartisan measure to the floor which had so much enforcement in it and really would have given us a safer situation today and for years to come.

senator regal, senator -- senator graham. we worked together like you to. we had our differences. we were good friends. we traveled together we ate together. we did some good things together. we fought for the american people. i remembered sitting here with so many smart, good people on both sides of the aisle. i wanted to say -- we've had good staffers. we've had them on both sides. we were working together. i want to thank all of them for what they've done over the years. they've gone on to bigger and greater things. i will always miss this committee. i've served on four committees. this is a very interesting committee. that is why senator toomey would have been chairman. thank you for your kind remarks. i will miss you, but carry on. thank you very much. >> thank you. senator toomey? >> thank you very much, senator shelby. today's hearing, of course, is about the cfpb. it would be understandable if director chopra is pleased that it's a last time he will be here dealing with me on this committee. let me express my concerns. the last time director chopra testified, i did raise c

by senator romney, senator cruz, ranking members of the committee.do you think that that claim is phony. >> i'm not saying that that claim is phony, but what i was tweeting about was the fact that there was a guy who every week would list the top viewed things on google or the top like topics on facebook and they were nine of the 10 of them were conservative. >> okay, well, in 2021, suspended senator rand paul when he said that cloth masks were ineffective, by-- >> excuse me? >> was that phony that senator paul was taken down. >> youtube has the right under the first amendment to do that. >> senator time has expired. we'll break away as the u.s. senator gavels in nor what we expect to be a previous session and we'll return to this program once they adjourn. we're live to the floor of the senate here on c-span2. the presiding officer: the senae will come to order. the clerk will read a communication to the senate. the clerk: washington, d.c., february 17, 2023. to the senate: under the provisions of rule 1, paragraph 3, of the standing rules of the se

the senate. guest: to weigh the founders and framers decided to set this up was the judges would be appointed by the president but that wasn't the end of the process. only the united states senate has the role of advising and consenting on all nominations so investors and executive appointments of a certain kind but also all federal judges. federal judges are basically lifetime appointments. once the president nominates somebody with various background checks and ultimately, he goes to the senate judiciary committee which is now chaired by senator dick durbin of illinois. they have hearings and everything goes the way goes and they discuss the person and then vote on the committee and then the nomination is sent to the floor of the senate. when i was in the senate, in theory, you could have required 60 votes to break a filibuster if there was resistance. that was changed by majority leader harry reid in 2013. so now, a majority vote is sufficient to confirm or put a person on the bench for life a

thank you, senator. senator lee. >> thank you, mr. chairman.there is a lot of highlighting of the problems and pervasiveness through the cyber tip line. it's my understanding that about 32 million reports of c-sam were reported to the cyber tipline last year and i believe you said in your testimony of those 32 million reports only about 6% can be referred to u.s. federal or u.s. local law enforcement. here in our country, is that right? . that's correct, senator. >> so of the 32 million reports that we start with, we're already down to about 3.2 million and that can be actionable here, that can be reported to law enforcement here. would you be comfortable estimating about how many of those 32 million images of c-sam end up being removed from the internet? i think you said in your testimony somewhere that it was maybe 55% of those, so i'm guessing 1.7 million? >> we have a lot of numbers. so from 32 million reports that are coming in the door, the reports are coming in from the tech industry mostly and in addition to public reports and they are

senate. senator dianne feinstein will soon be leaving washington.nia senator made the announcement on twitter just before 11:00 this morning. at 89, she's the oldest member of congress and the oldest female senator in history. senator feinstein worked under five presidential administrations. she was first elected to the u.s. senate in 1992 where she and former senator barbara boxer made california the first state to have two women senators at the same time. we spoke with former senator boxer today about her longtime colleague's legacy. >> we worked together hard any time there was a california issue. for example, if there was an earthquake, a flood, a fire, we always had those moments. we would get together and i said to her, you take the tall senators, i'll take the short ones. we'd go spread out and try to cover the whole place. >> a little behind the scenes. i love that. senator feinstein often says she was sent to congress to solve problems and she'll continue to do that for the remainder of her term, two more years. in today's statement she als

your senate career was with senator feinstein as a senior senator, can you help us understand that for people who may not truly know? >> of course, as i said we got elected the same day. she got sworn in a couple months for me. because it was a special auction. -- election. she had the seniority forever. th senior senat ahough we got electethalthough we did not agrn certain things, we came with different styles, different backgrounds, different views on certain issues. when it came to california we were joined at the hip. we worked really well together. we knew we had to. there were reporters who were waiting for us to have arguments. seriously. they would say, women connected along. kristen: a cat fight or something like that, right? >> exactly, there was one reporter in the southern california news giver that did a calm and had a profile -- newspaper, the did a calm that it profile of us. how on occasion we voted differently. tried to stir it up. i went to the newspaper and said, would you do that to two men, had you ever done that? they admitted that they did not and they cut it out

i will call on our next senator, senator binns. >> senator lujan, thank you. mr. chairman and ms. sohn, thank you for coming before us today. i will take my line of questioning slightly different from other folks. there are areas of subsequent agreement between the two of us on some of these issues. you are a participant in what i will call this weird rationalization of america's political rhetoric in the last few years. coming out of a desire to give equal opportunity and fairness to every american regardless of skin color, is of course a very good. there has been this we are trained in corners of american politics to be very racialized and to criticize explicit racial groups. you have participated in that. i want to ask a couple of questions on that. i want to illustrate by pointing out something going on in my state. we had a very bad plane crash in east palestine, ohio, caused a terrible chemical skill -- chemical spill. we are doing as much as we can to help constituents on the ground. the secretary of transportation pete buttigieg yesterday, when he made the public remarks,
