senate. he he used the issue and he encouraged these candidates to use the issue. and he was quite effective on the people he campaigned for. got elected to the senate and the republican took control of the senate in the 1952 election. and so in 1953, they had a majority in the senate and could could appoint people to committees and chair committees and control the agenda in congress and he became chair of the permanent subcommittee on the day. senator mccarthy, who had been a member of the government affairs committee, became chair of the committee and a the key investigative subcommittee within that government affairs committee. and that is the permanent subcommittee on investigations. so mccarthy chaired both of these panels and in particular, that permanent subcommittee on investigate issues, which is known as piece i became his vehicle for conducting the investigations that he did in the many, many hearings that he held. he built a staff. he hired some some some pretty prominent attorney

senator warren wanted to say, i got 51. you have 51 votes now in the senate. so i would encourage you to do it. sen. warren: this comes down to a question of trust. can you really trust john deaton. when he was asked who he would vote for for supreme court, you know who he named? neil gorsuch. one of the people who turned over roe v. wade. and what do we know about neil gorsuch at the time the vote came up? we knew that as lower court judge she had done the hobby lobby opinion which restricted access to contraception. we knew he had come from a list of prescreened people who would be antiabortion and we knew that 50 groups that support access to abortion had opposed neil gorsuch and yet john deaton says i would have voted for him. and now john deaton gives us the big defense of the filibuster that keeps us from making roe v. wade law of the land. that's the problem. we can't pass it with 52 votes because the republicans filibuster us. so here's the deal. if republicans are in control of the senate, there will be no bill to make roe v. wade law of the land. it

senate debate. i'm mikaela lefrak.he host of "vermont edition" on vermont public. >> i'm shaun robinson, a state government and economy reporter for vtdigger. live today in the vermont public studio in winooski, we have senator bernie sanders of burlington, an independent. he's seeking a fourth term in the senate. previously he served eight terms in the u.s. house of representatives and was the mayor of burlington. sanders ran for president in 2016 and 2020. and republican nominee gerald malloy, a u.s. army veteran and government contractor from weathersfield. he also ran for senate in 2022. welcome to the program. >> thank you. >> thank you, shaun. great to be here. >> we've been soliciting topics and questions for the candidates. you'll hear some of those questions submitted to our news outlets throughout tonight's debate. the format we'll use today, which the candidates have agreed to. >> in the first segment, we'll ask common questions to both candidates from our audiences and our newsrooms. they'll each have one m

there is no senate -- senator who has flip-flopped more on the issue than senator casey. senator casey previously said he wanted to overturn roe v. wade and said there should be one exception, the life of the mother. he was one of the most pro-life senators in the senate and has flip-flopped his position. i don't know how someone flip-flops on this. there is no one who has less credibility on the issue than senator casey and he is going where the wind blows. so many issues where his party shifted left, he shifted with them. moderator: senator, would you like a rebuttal? sen. casey: i think most americans believe our daughters should not have fewer rights than their mothers or grandmothers. we are at a point where the country has to make a choice in terms of the senate race, and control of the senate and that will largely determine whether those rights are restored or not. i have voted twice to restore those rights. my opponent won't support that. moderator: we have to turn to immigration. the first question will be for you, senator casey. immigration reform was enacted al

while i appreciate senator king has been a very thoughtful senator, i believe he has been too hesitant to support the reforms we need to make a difference and truly fix washington. i do not believe, i continue to believe he will continue being overly cautious. doing more of the same is not working in washington. if you agree, check out my agenda on costello for senate.com. thank you. >> angus king, one moment. >> what i have learned and what we have discussed tonight is we can only solve these problems when we talk to one another. one of the reasons i decided to run again, which i had not intended to do a few years ago, was that the middle in the senate is shrinking. the people who worked on the bipartisan bills i mentioned, richard burr, roy blunt, this year we are losing manchin ann romney, the people getting together -- and romney, the people who are getting together to talk, there are fewer and fewer of them. i want to continue to try to work with both sites because it's the only way to get things done. the other thing i have learned is bipartisan bills last longer. if a bill is pa

i first went to the senate i did. it was something i thought it was undemocratic i can make all the arguments, it's not in the constitution. what i learned is and i learned this from some of my senior colleagues what goes around comes around. the problem is, if it is abolished to pass reproductive rights which i would support passing the reproductive rights, than the senate could switch for the presidency could switch and you have a national abortion ban. you would have abolishing the affordable care act to print you would have unionbusting legislation. so, the line that really convince me one of my friends of the senate said today's obnoxious obstruction is tomorrow's a priceless shield. i think we have to be very careful about taking away something that can be annoying. but also could be very important the other thing my friend joe manchin would say forces us to work together to find bipartisan solutions to go to the floor and talk and you call and i objected 60 folks it i think it's too easy it ought to require som

and senator goal.oth were in for a long time and yet a large number of people didn't have information about that. i think that was true in many of the debates. it is interesting. if you look at the vice presidential debate, often times the people who are on the stage in vice presidential debates go on to be presidential candidates, nominees. in two cases even presidents, george bush and joe biden were later elected president. before the debates, often times 20% to 30% for even more feel they have a information about them. that is part of the importance of this evening's event. it gives people a chance to see the vice presidential debate and candidates and see them in a high-pressure, high-stakes event. host: here is will in in sturgeon bay, democrat. caller: i would like to ask you, kamala harris was tasked with tackling the immigration problem and a lot of people like my self leave the biden administration hung her out to dry, much like a center to central america. immigration is one of the biggest is

senator estes kefauver of tennessee decided to look into this, and he created a committee in the senate to investigate organized crime and the mob. part of his investigation going to different cities, the country. he went to 14 different cities and he interviewed law enforcement officers and politicians and citizens in these different cities to find out what the state of organized crime was in their areas. they often put suspected mobsters and gamblers on the stand as well. and these hearings, which were televised, captivated the nation. the crime hearing's biggest sensation comes from frank costello, reputed in king of the underworld. he provides a starkly king, bit of dramatic reality order, by which i think an awful lot of respect for. i'm not going to answer another question. you're just because i'm not under arrest and i'm going to walk out. i just about it, mr. costello. we'll use every resource in our command to see that he's brought to contempt. and he was arrested by the united states senate. so many people were interested in watching these televised hearings that some of them

senator take a stand now. that is what advocacy is not what center at warren is talking about progressing to recheck us back. we have voted on roe versus wade i stood up and said we should vote on it. they probably have because the republicans filibustered it. we could not get the 60 votes. yes, we put everyone on record. democrats and republicans on where you are on roe versus wade. he's just wrong he does not know what is happening here. but listen to him. when he defends the filibuster and he is doing a sink don't get anything done in the united states appeared. >> what senator warren that's time. mr. deaton this time are going to move on progress going to stay for the court for a moment. you radically different reactions to pair of decisions handed down this past year. the doctor was overturned by the courts it had granted broad authority to regulatory agencies for decades. and the court found presidents have criminal immunity when it comes to exercise in the core powers. senator warner like to start the y

senate. as i said earlier, i didn't go to washington to argue with people or get on cable tv. i went there to get things done. we have been able to do things that are lowering costs and increasing wages. we have an opportunity to grow the middle-class. to make our country the land of upward mobility. this is so important to us. we need to invest in skilling and training people in apprenticeships. we need to invest in our community colleges to help high schoolers who want to take courses while they are still in high school and continue to invest in those policies that will help us lower costs, like on prescription drugs. stopping the middlemen that are pocketing so much money that they are literally causing problems in our communities by closing pharmacies. and continuing to make sure that we as the united states stand up on privacy and continue to advance the health care that we need. i'm going to defend a woman's right to choose. i'm going to fight for what washingtonians know is what they d

that was senator vance. have seen auto vice president harris is we have seen steady leadership. we have seen a columnist that is able to be able to draw on the coalitions to bring them together. understanding that our allies matter. when our allies see donald trump turn towards vladimir putin, turn towards north korea, when we start to see that type of fickleness around holding coalitions together, we will stay committed. as the vice president today, we will protect our forces and our allied forces and there will be consequences. >> margaret: governor, your time is up. senator vance, same question. would you support or oppose a preemptive strike by israel on iran? >> senator vance: i want to answer the question. thanks, governor. thanks to cbs to hosting the debate and thanks to the american people were watching and caring enough to pay attention to this vice president shall debate. i want to give an introduction to myself a little bit. a lot of americans don't know who either one of us are. i was raised in

you cosponsored with senator mccain.taught more than 40 years about healthcare housing and education you've not delivered legislation into law to improve these areas. the cost have all skyrocketed. would you please discuss now, how it now at age 83 as an independent socialist you are all of a sudden going to start the delivering legislative results but not just talk to lower healthcare housing and education? let's not be in ages. it is true i'm 83. i do not know how old you are. you are a very young man i am feeling just fine, thank you very much. we do not need ages appear. in terms of my record, let's see. when hit the united states and donald trump by the way plate a horrendous role in helping us prepare for that terrible pandemic. as chairman of the budget committee and help pass the american rescue plan. that plan a put money into people's pockets who had no money to feed their kids. that money and put money into hospitals, into universities, into colleges, it prevented the eviction of people. it lowered the childho

senate historian. thanks for >> do you solemnly swear that in the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. announcer: we cannot watch our encore presentation of congress investigates as we explore major investigations by the u.s. house and senate in our country's history. authors and historians what of these histories, we will see historic footage and impact the legacy of key congressional hearings. in nine the senate explored whether communists had infiltrated the state department, the army, and other federal agencies. the investigation led to the censure of joseph mccarthy for his actions. watch congress investigates friday night on c-span. ♪ >> the house will be in order. announcer: this year c-span celebrates 45 years of covering congress like no other. since 1979 we have been your primary source for capitol hill providing balance, unfiltered coverage of the government, taking you to where the policy is debated and decided all with the support o

senate.roduction support was provided by the greater montana foundation encouraging communication on issues, trends and values that are important to montanans. now, from the montana pbs studios in missoula, john and anna. >> good evening and welcome to tonight's montana u.s. senate race. >> we would also like to welcome viewers joining us on our livestream, facebook and youtube channel. >> we have the qualifying candidates in our studio tonight. the debate participants are three term incumbent u.s. senator jon tester and the republican primary winner tim sheehy. thank you both for joining us tonight. >> a slightly different format. each candidate will have a 90 seconds to answer a question after which there will be a follow-up discussion for a chance for rebuttals and direct exchanges. we will finish with a 92nd closing statement from both candidates. >> and we are partnering with the university of montana school of journalism and they will be fact checking the debate. >> let's get started wi

senator rick scott, also up for reelection. also has had issues with his approval ratings and favorability. his democratic opponent has not been able to fund raise at the level that already has. the democratic senatorial sent -- senatorial campaign committee said last week they are putting money in both races. so far we have seen that show up in hybrid ads, but i think when you look at where the money is and the fact that ted cruz cannot write himself a check versus rick scott in florida who is a marked -- a multimillionaire can. host: for visual learners may be the best place to go is cook political. you will see where all of these races fall in terms of jessica taylor and her colleagues these races in terms of what will flip and what will not. these are all of the seats the democrats have to defend this cycle. we going to talk about west virginia. that one seemingly off the board. jon tester leans republican in montana. then a pair of tossup seats right now. it is michigan's open seat and sharad brown in ohio. guest: ohio is

and the senators, republican senators, went to the white house to tell him that. now, it's, like, they use it as a weapon, as he said, it's just, like, back and forth where, you know, "we're going to impeach you." "we're going to impeach you." "we're going to impeach you back." and now, it's lost a lot of its teeth. but i just think no man is above the law, not even the president of the united states. so that's what my dad said in 1974 and it's what i still believe. but i think what happened was we didn't have folks on either side taking it seriously. we had the house being overly partisan and pushing. and then we had republicans not willing to look at the facts. we've got to get back tthe time where we have leaders that are actually going to make decisions based on the rule of law, and otherwise we don't really have much to stand on. - is it striking to you that of the people who have stood up to donald trump, they're often legacy republicans? your father stood up to richard nixon. mitt romney is from a political legacy family. liz cheney is from a political lega

[applause] joyce craig, maggie good lender and our congressional delegation, senator shaheen, senator hassan, thank you for being here and thank you for all the work you do for new hampshire. [applause] there are two weeks until election day. two weeks to make sure granite staters know the stakes of this election could not be higher. as we know, this election is a stark contrast between two different visions for the future could vice president harris and governor walz and new hampshire democrats are fighting for all of us should reproductive freedom, strengthening our democracy and lowering costs for all. and then we have donald trump and jd vance and new hampshire republicans and they want to enact his extreme project 2025 agenda which would look like rolling back freedoms, hurting the middle class and threatening our democracy. we are very lucky to have champions like joyce craig and maggie good lender on the ballot this year and we need to do everything we can to elect them in the next 14 days. [applause] the choice is very clear. we need all of your help. we need you knocking door

everyone thought we couldn't hold the senate much less expand the senate. i was confident we could do it. it was because we had superior candidates and the contrast between flawed or deeply flawed republican candidates, people took a look at that and ended up voting democratic, as we thought they would and we made history. something that hadn't been done since 1934. the rest of the country wasn't necessarily that great for democrats but it was in the senate states. the same template we used last seekle we're using in cycle and we're where we thought we would be at this point. we have to keep the pedal to the metal, not let up and go across the finish line. >> let's talk about one of those superior candidates you're talking about and i'm wondering if that same template you used in the last cycle is going to work in this particular state and i'm thinking of texas. you have texas congressman collin allred rung against senator ted cruz. there's a lot of optimism that democrats will finally succeed in wing statewide in the. louis: star state. do you share that o

senate this year. that would have added tougher standards to qualify for asylum, allow for partial shutdowns at the border, and open no avenues for legal immigration. in the interest of border security, would you like to see this bill revived? why or why not? mr. hovde: that bill was dead on arrival. it was masquerading as a border bill but it was really funding ukraine. every senator once they found out what was in it was opposed to it. the simple fact is, it would have codified allowing 5000 illegal immigrants coming into our country every single day. it wasn't going to change any of the asylum laws for immigration laws at all. here's the reality. you can't run from this fact. president trump, only 300,000 illegal immigrants came into the country. joe biden lifted 95 executive orders. most import lay, stay in mexico. we don't know how many have come in. it has flooded the streets with fentanyl. we have criminals that have entered into our country. it has created a humanitarian crisis. i have fought a

that was senator vance. what we've seen out of vice president harris is we've seen steady leadership. we've seen a calmness that is able to be able to draw on the coalitions to bring them together. understanding that our allies matter. when our allies see donald trump turn towards vladimir putin, turn towards north korea, when we start to see that type of fickleness around holding the coalitions together, we will stay committed. and as the vice president said today is we will protect our forces and our allied forces and there will be consequences. >> governor, your time is up. senator vance, the same question. would you support or oppose a pre-emptive strike by israel on iran? you have two minutes. >> so margaret, i want to answer the question -- first of all, thanks, governor. thanks to cbs for hosting the debate. and thanks most importantly to the american people who are watching this evening and caring enough about this country to pay attention to this vice presidential debate. i want to answer the questi

and i can be an ally to him in the senate. but when we have these conflicts, again, this is something that should be an easy answer from any politician. we do not need to be drawing red lines on what israel can or cannot do or how we'll support israel. >> can i just? >> i'm going to give you a few seconds. do you support this ultimatum that the united states has given? >> i do not support the ultimatum. i believe that we need to support israel in its fight against terror but what i do support is our responsibility to help those civilians who are suffering in gaza or to help limit civilian casualties. we can and we must do both. fight terror and support the innocent civilians. >> all right. we appreciate that tonight. we move on to the next question. >> we're going to discuss an issue that you both brought up. energy. if you take a look at this map, it shows nevada has more than 130 pending renewable energy projects. they could blanket hundreds of square miles across the state. mr. brown, we start with you. you have one minute

senate.the senate is a place where experience matters. or having a gavel matters. and by the way it arty doesn't matter. the idea that somehow you can both work but not vote for a party not going let chuck schumer be the majority leader if kristine becomes senator. that's a nice idea nice ideal is just not practical. i talk about my upbringing i'm way back 400 years three of my ancestors came on the mayflower i'm in tenth grade grandson of william bradford the governor of plymouth colony. the person who offered and signed the mayflower compact. for generations in my sixth grade grandfather was one of the first people to die in the revolutionary war and bunker hill. a family member still has his plane he made. he was a craftsman. he carved the scriptures and in this he said this complaint was made by me. a son of liberty. my father was in 11th grade educator. he was a lineman. my mom graduated high school and pumped gas at the co-op. they worked overtime for what the time was thought and a hal

senator barrasso or spofford to administer. >> recently you, senator barrasso's companion bills in congress that would that power plants to irrigation district with the power plant is located within the boundaries of the wind reservation. some eastern shoshone tribe members have said they were never consulted by wyoming's federal leadership about this conveyance it. in december of last year you called this deal a quote when/win situation for the american people. senator, do you still think it's a win/win situation given the shoshone tribe is said they opponents? >> it's a win-win for the people. it's a hydropower plant. it's about the size of one half football fields. it's a fairly small piece of land for this and federal building on a power plant that's ready to be destroyed, paid for by the government. it's basically not in use for the last 15 years. the people who live right there get back into use. make sure the power from there can be used locally. we understood the bureau talked to the and they didn't. i understand they did not get. that was a mistake but they that should've been info

the senate is was created by senate rules, not by the constitution statute. congress could pass a law that would outlaw gerrymandering for congressional elections as part of a bill that passed the house in the last and can go on with other things. but my point there's so much that could be done by statutory change if there's the will to do so. do you think it's likely that these problems will be fixed from? legislation, judicial decisions? i don't think it will happen unless advocate for it. and so my hope is that people will look at these and say, we need to make these changes. we need to lessen the impact electoral college. we need to find ways of lessening the senate being so anti-democratic we to eliminate partizan gerrymandering. and the interesting thing is for some of these there are overwhelming opinion polls supporting it. so when you see opinion polls, it's 75% of people say partizan jeremy should be eliminated. that's why california adopted an independent commission to draw legislative districts. but we're just a handful of states that do so. so i

joining us now is senator sheldon whitehouse of rhode island, member of the senate judiciary committeeof the subcommittee on federal courts. he's also the author of "the scheme," how the right when you start money to capture the supreme court." senator whitehouse, thank you for joining us and for doing this work. i have to say, i wasn't the only one who suspected, at the time, that in this extended week or so, there was a very little the fbi would be able to accomplish in that amount of time. what i couldn't know is how little they tried. >> the four key conclusions of our report, first when donald trump told america that the fbi has free reign to run down these accusations, what he said was false. they had nothing of any kind. they were told exactly what to do by his white house lawyers. the second thing we were assured of, this was an investigation done by the book. that they were following their procedures, we could be assured they were following the proper, regular procedures. we discovered that in a supplemental, there was redirection all the way. one of the white house directions

she is a senator. she called me up like, emergency, emergency, because an alabama judge ruled that ivf clinics were illegal. and i said, explain ivf very quickly, and within about two minutes, i understood it. i said, no, no. we are totally in favor of ivf, and we were totally in favor -- the republican party, the whole party. >> there's a whole lot to unpack there, starting with the fact that he is the father of ivf, even though he had to have someone explain it to him. this was a so-called town hall for women voters. the audience was actually stacked with his supporters. that's just a weird answer. how is that playing with republican women? >> number one, he takes a common tactic he always takes, which to call himself a champion of something, though he has no evidence of having been. so that's one thing to talk about here. they know who he is fine now. it's the question of believability. of course, it's trust and likability. so in all three of those characteristics right there, how are women who are

senator cramer? sen. cramer: first of all, the reason we don't have a farm bill is because the democratic chairman in the senate, debbie stabenow, in the middle of the bill, they changed the baselines on the nonfarm parts of the bill. they added so much money, and this was part of the ira and the american rescue plan act that. fueled inflation they now have s.n.a.p. at 80% of the farm bill. it has nothing to do with farmers. it's an important program, but it diluted the money that goes to farmers. then she added a whole bunch on the conservation title which she calls the climate change title, which makes the conservation title now the same amount of money as the crop insurance program. i agree with katrina on this, we need to raise those reference prices, they have to reflect the modern cost of an additional, what, 25% of input costs because of joe biden and kamala harris's information. those input costs have gone way up. we need to do that and we also need a robust crop insurance program that provides a

senators are elected on the basis of state representation two senators from each state regardless of his population. they hold office for long term six years. their terms of office are staggered so that some expire every two years thus guaranteeing that there will always be experienced men in the senate. all our federal laws have to go through both the house and the senate. this is the way it works bill. first a proposed law is introduced into one branch of the legislature as a bill. it has always been a number and is printed like this one. the bill is then turned over to one of the legislative committees for consideration the committee holds hearings where the public and common speak for or against the proposed legislation. this gives our citizens a chance to make their wishes on each law known to congress. sometimes these these hearings go on for months. unless it is killed by the committee the bill then goes to the floor of the house or senate wherever it originated to be discussed and voted on. suppose for example that this bill started in the house of representatives if it is pa

senator? sen. cantwell: community policing is part of what we do as part of the cops program, a successful effort by the federal government to help supplement what communities need as far as resources. it can be for training, for skill, but not just for hiring officers. in research it shows that if you increase capacity by 3%, you actually lower the crime rate by 3.5 percent. helping our local communities from the federal government is something that i support. this is in the american rescue plan. it helped us. i will continue to support these kinds of resources for seattle and greater cities around. ms. laven: thank you. dr. garcia, what about your ideas around voluntary commitment? the process of finding someone is generally governed by state law. how would you as senator influence that? you have 30 seconds. 5 dr. garcia: i moved it to seattle to be in the streets with the addicts, to be with those affected by the problem, so to find a true solution you have to dive into the culture of those affe

senate. respond to that charge there. what did you vote for? what's let's get into it. so congressman allred is right there is a bill on the floor of the senate i oppose that bill why? i said at the time joe biden in kamala harris are going to float money to gaza give it to hamas but frees weapons to israel per that's exactly what they did. after that the house of representatives took up a bill to provide emergency weapons to israel and congressman allred voted no. understand every single time congressman allred right now in this debate he is echoing the calls of the enemies of israel saying cease-fire now. he claims was nothing else to be done militarily. it was one of the most targeted military actions we have seen. the radical left organization that undermines israel at every level. and i've got to say, that is dangerous but right now colin allred and congressman allred both once the vote of the anti-semites in college campus. they threaten they should be arrested. they should be expelled.
