intelligence gathering by trained professionals. senator mccain has been mentioned. and i want to thank particularly the armed services committee under chairman levin and senator mccain, who gave us on intelligence, where levin and mccain sat as the chair and ranking members, and us in judiciary considerable support, moral and political support for getting to the bottom of the torture program. and what we are hearing now is that the torture program bedevils our ability to resolve the remaining detainees. this was always a problem. i believe that the bush administration itself released more than 500 gitmo detainees. so it's hard to say that this was a seamless, successful project of identifying and collecting really dangerous people when the people behind that, the bush administration, who set this up in the first place, released more than 500 out of guantanamo. and now we're down to these last 39. and maybe our solution is like the man in the iron mask, we put them in dungeons forever with -- deidentify them and hope that they all just go away. but that would be dramatic inconsistent with american values. my question to our two

senator. congressman good to see you. you are -- you around a year on the intelligence committee. you saw this coming a while ago. little lies, became bigger lies, became the big lie. did you guess this is where we are gonna be? that donald trump's ability to lie about stuff has become the major challenge to democracy that we face? donald trump is always lying. now it's the big lie. and the task of the intelligence committee was when the president of the ukraine had -- i'm astonished at it because of the -- the president as a democrat, have alwaysadhereo the sacred trust that we have. that the voters who -- that their votes are counted. and their votes are accurately tallied. i'm astonished by what trump has done. >> what is also amazing, i just want to show our viewers from the washington post, how republicans became the party of trump's election lie after january 6th. it talks about 163 republicans who have embrace trump's false claims are running first statewide positions that would gi authority over the administration of elections, 69 candidates for governor in 30 states as well as 55 candidates for the u.s.

in an effort to extract intelligence when they were in fact interrupting successful gathering by trained professionals i want to thanking the armed services committee under senatorccain who gave us on intelligence where eleven and -- levin and mccain sat and the judiciary considerable support, moral and political support for getting to the bomb of the torture program. what we're hearing that the torture program is inhibiting the detainees. i believe the bush administration itself released more than 500 gitmo detainees. so it's hard to say that this was a seamless, successful project of identifying and collecting really dangerous people when the people behind that, the bush administration who set this up in the first place released more than 500 out of guantanamo. and now we're down to these last 39 and maybe our solution is like the man in the iron mask we put them in dungeons forever. and deidentify them and hope that they all go away. but that would be dramatically inconsistent with american values. my question to our two members in uniform is describe what symbolic significance guantanamo now has as a tool for our enemies and adversaryies? >> thank you, senat
