shelby: thank all of you. david: thank you, senator shelby. >> chairman, thank you -- sen. brown: thank you, senator shelby. >> chairman, thank you so much. thank you for taking the time. let me start out issue i do not think has been addressed. foreclosure prevention. it is about 2 million families who are 90 days delinquent on paying their mortgage. millions of people, jobs overnight because of the pandemic. it is more so in nevada that anywhere in the country. at one point we had the highest on employment rate because of this pandemic. 4% of borrowers have been able to pay their mortgage. what are you doing to work with the bankers to keep them in their homes? can you talk about what we are doing to address or help them when they are bumping up against foreclosure? i do not know who wants to start. wells fargo? >> sure. for the loans we own, we have extended our moratorium for foreclosures and evictions until the end of the year. we've also come out and supported the cfpb's proposal to extend the moratoriums to apply to the whole industry which would impact the loans we

it's an honor to get interrupted by shelby steele. [laughter] so we talk about the cultural issue but i definitely agree that there is a cultural issue that needs to be addressed. when african americans, like myself and the great shelby steele, say something about this and really want to address the cultural issue we are called all kinds of names like every name in the book by black liberals and white liberals and democrats because we dare to speak about the cultural issues. i want to talk about "woke-ism". what are the effects of "woke-ism"? we are on the one-year anniversary of his uprising that started in minneapolis, right, the so the effects of "wokeism" is $550 million in property damage that happened in minneapolis. i went down there in the wake of the riots last year and i am telling you you have to see how destroyed some of these areas are for yourself. i'm talking bombed out cvs, bombed out walgreens, bombed out target some out the effects of "wokeism" on the culture and the effects of these riots is that the black people th

i am joined by the vice chairman of the committee senator shelby.nd i'll yield to him. >> thank you, mr. chairman, for calling this today's hearing i also want to welcome our distinguished witnesses to the committee. mr. chairman, the rule of law, the very foundation upon which america was built is paramount to our future as americans and the future of our democracy. selective enforcement of our nation's laws erodes that foundation. today, we have before the committee two of our nation's top law enforcement officials. the two individuals most directly responsible for faithfully and fairly upholding the rule of law. the attorney general and secretary. you both know, as we do, that our country cannot afford to pick and choose the laws we enforce. and, yet, we watch that happen every day. domestic violent extremists threaten the rule of law, but so, too, does turning a blind eye to the flood of illegal immigration at our southern border. i'll address each of these issues in turn from this perspective. first, violent extremism is very serious topic. unf

we know that the voting right act was in full swing for the shelby decision. here is the question, have there been pretextual uses of projects intended to -- purges intended to get to the essence of what the voting rights act was originally intended to protect. i think that the committees -- committee's deep dive will inform the congress and the country as to what steps, if any, we should take relative to the voting rights act and the preservation of the rights of every single american citizen to vote. with that, mr. chairman, i thank you for letting me sit in and listen and show these words. i commend you for your excellent leadership and every member of this committee for the work you are doing and i yield back. reppo butterfield let me -- reppo butterfield -- representative butterfield: mr. davis, do you want to make any remarks before we hear from the witnesses? reppo -- rep. davis: i want to decide not to go on a diatribe and i want to hear from our guests. i would like to get as quickly into the queue and day as we possibly can. i do not think this will

>> vice chairman shelby, we are dedicated to securing our border. that is one of our most significant priorities. and we have a multifaceted approach to this critical mission. let me say if i can for just one moment, you mentioned traffickers and human smuggling organizations. we were very focused on combatting their efforts to cause damage in our country, and, in fact, just over the past few weeks, we launched operation sentinel to increase our resources and dedication of efforts to combat human smugglers and traffickers in every way possible. the border is most secure when we take a multifaceted approach where we not only rely exclusively on the physical barrier but we have physical barriers, the use of technology and a focus on innovation to make sure that we're harnessing the most recent technological innovations to secure our border and, of course, the brave men and women of the united states border patrol. it's that multifaceted approach that delivers the greatest security to our border. >> thank you, and we'll turn to senator durbin, who is a

shelby. mr. wicker: i want to commend the distinguished senator from alabama and oklahoma for this amendment. it seems to me this is a national security amendment that should get support on both sides of the aisle because the senator from oklahoma is absolutely correct. it has had bipartisan support in the past and particularly at this moment when we're talking about a bill to compete with china, we need to acknowledge that we will compete with china both in the r&d spear as this -- sphere as this bill discusses, but also in terms of military might. and it disturbs me, and i know it is of concern to my friends on the other side of the aisle, that the biden administration just this week announced that they would cut four ships from the most recent shipbuilding plan which was established by our military experts, by the admirals and generals who told us what we would need. to cut four ships from the shipbuilding plan i think would send exactly the opposite signal to china that we're trying to send t

we have seen it with citizens united and its zenith with the shelby decision in 2013 which gutted the crown jewel of the voting rights act which we are now working in earnest to revive their goodwill i hope as the john r. -- john r. lewis of voting rights act and i believe it would have passed if it would have had that 2013 decision. we would not have seen the georgia law become law as it would have been stopped under its tracks. this is a right-wing takeover that is and has been anti-democratic. we know that the vast majority of presidential elections have resulted in the popular vote going to democratic presidential candidates and we know that democratic senators represent 40 million more people than republican senators and we have seen this right-wing takeover of the supreme court and many advocates across this country want to do something about that and we want to save democracy itself from a supreme court majority and democracy itself and while i can't give a specific deadline when legislation will be introduced we have ongoing conversations with myself and my colleagues. have yo

democrat colleagues in a telling signal, they voted down ranking member and often vice chairman shelby's amendment to make sure that the real combination with china was allocated to our armed forces and national defense was not neglected. so make a mistake, supply chains espionage intellectual property, those are all important topics. but all of the policy in the world would not amount to much help if we lose our military with respect to china. soft hours not much good that the hard power to back it up. in the chinese communist party appears to understand this quite clearly. according to one watch on, the increased military investments by 76 percent over the last decade. china has increased its military spending by 76 percent over the amlast decade. the same data show that her own u.s. spending fell 10 percent over the last democratic tadministration and a president biden has signaled that he was to cut defense spending after inflation. exactly the wrong approach. then area strategy for a competition with massive born policy would you lead the armed forces and their tools and their resou

you are correct, shelby county and valuated -- invalidated that law that allow that cap -- to continue so it is now the case that the justice department is limited to the affirmative cases which it binds under section two of the act. this does require us to bring individual cases, and that is much more time-consuming. chairman: it reverses the burden of proof. it was not normal during the bulk of my lifetime, if a jurisdiction on it to change voting was, a jurisdiction that was listed as among those that having historically violating the constitution for voting rights, the jurisdiction like that wanted to change its laws to make people yes how many jellybeans are in the jar or to enact sweeping rules, they had to get preclearance they had to get permission from the attorney general. the attorney general is in control of that and now it has flipped. the attorney general has to file a lawsuit and carry the burden of proof which could involve months and months and even years of litigation to invalidate a jim crow kind of a law change like that. correct? you are muted again, sir. ag garlan

shelby back in 2020 protest in philadelphia.nstead of the peaceful protest 30 minutes away. let's watch. >> the havingographers had to drive 30 minutes away from the protest by walter wallace's neighbors in west philadelphia to film retail center in another part of the city where there were no protesters, only looters taking advantage of the overwhelmed police force. >> brian: so we love the heart music in the background, were you trying to be deceptive? >> listen, brian, that video that they are showing where i am not speaking is when i was talking to the tucker carlson and i told tucker carlson that exact thing. i said that these protests were about 10 miles apart and it seems to me that these were opportunistic people so they basically used exactly what i said to the american public. >> brian: right. >> in that piece but then didn't say that i had said it. so, again, it's a joke. >> brian: they don't want to show the damage antifa does. they want to shoat grievance they are evidently rising up against. richard mcginnis had he

of her being said that these are areas where she wants to really keep up a fight. >> is a mention shelby county. >> dissent for the ages, really extraordinary to her that guesstimates the majority of the opinion, how crucially important and rigorous infrastructure in place to protect them like it is, in that case she dissented to those who don't know she dissented to the supreme court effectively the preclearance requirement the stop laws of voting changes, going into effect and covered jurisdiction the hud history, discrimination based on race, that part of the voting rights act is no longer in operation and she writes explaining all the reasons why this is profoundly misguided and this is something were seen play out in real life right now. but there's also discrimination cases including reproductive rights case, this is also an area moving backwards and to control their own destiny. it was her way and i need you to join me because i'm not quite to be here forever. and we thought it was predictive, predicting in a way, not just use what i didn't finish but here's where we may be going,

and hoffenheim didn't even need him for that next one with the shelby defense in disarray he lashed atwho made it 4 goals inside 19 minutes. but it was bad business as usual for the visitors. so i thought that was just ridiculous for an eternal up and that's not often been the case this season and then you just surrender so questions need to be asked of everyone was you know this is a. promising start shall cope with yet another frustrating performance. would be a triumphant return to our spoke for marcus fine sealed the early stages against it got suggested no. first step made one there in the 11 minutes. but outdoors are facing very close and with an hour played they spirited in an equaliser good to see all feel we need a mission. house book must adopt some 21 shots but fight to provide. a game that was very much up in the. meanwhile outboards problems at the back continue to haunt. the session lights which come with his 15th goal. of the 6 outs book down if not completely out. in a less than memorable return from august finds mixed up a crunch game against fellow struck in those. te

as i mentioned shelby counties in there.hat is in my view dissent for the ages just an extraordinary tour de force that decimates the majority opinion and points out how crucially important having a rigorous infrastructure in place to protect voting rights is. in that case she dissented. for those who do not know she dissented to the supreme court effectively guiding the preclearance requirements that stopped laws of voting changes going into effect into a covered jurisdiction that had histories on voting discrimination based on race. note that part of the voting rights act is no longer in operation for it she writes a dissent explaining all the reasons why this is profoundly misguided. think this is something we are seeing play out in real life right now. you're also dissents and gender discrimination cases including reproductive rights case. this is also a in area or sheet that the court if anything moving backward. she talked time and again about how important reproductive freedom was to women's ability to control their o

so in particular in the context of voting rights as i mentioned shelby county is in there and that is in my view a dissent for the ages. just a really extraordinary tour de force that just decimates the majority opinion and point out how crucially important having a rigorous infrastructure in place to protect voting rights is. and in that case she dissented for those who don't know, she dissented to the supreme court effectively guarding the preclearance requirements that stopped laws, voting changes going into effect in so-called covered jurisdictions that have histories of voting discrimination based on race and now part of the voting rights act was no longer in operation. he all the reasons why this is profoundly misguided and this is something we're seeing play out in real life right now dissent in gender discrimination cases including reproductive rights . this is also area awhere she thought the court was if anything moving backwards and she talked time after time about how important reproductive freedom was or women's right to control their own destiny.by including these it was

how did wartime expansion of the training center at camp shelby, for our audience, it's about 100 miles from us here in new orleans, how did the wartime expansion impact the deep south kind of like hattieses -- hattiesburg? >> yeah. there's a lot to say there and this is endlessly fascinating because you have the issue of the jim crow south, but not only that the other issue here is this total war. to world war ii is the last time the united states was engaged in what we might think of as being a total war, and that means just everything down, everything else is secondary, everything is aside, everybody's involved. little kids picking up bottles to men fighting on the front lines. but the one exception to that total war, right, where we don't actually say, okay, let's throw all this aside for now so we can fight the nazis is jim crow itself. so what happens in hattiesburg. they had a world war i era military, and because the south had better weather, when the united states began to mobilize before pearl harbor even happened, it starts sending troops out to these troop training centers t

now in the united states how much money is it going to cost theit amerin taxpayer because of the shelby county decision? .. l, the cornerstone of democracy. the justice department has pledged as part of its purpose and establishment during the reconstruction to protect voting rights. the act gave it additional authorities one a party of which was removed. we do now have to bring after each case individually, you are correct that is a very large resources. that is part of the reason why we are asking for 15.8% increase. systemic i thank you for that. and i yield now to our distinguished ranking member for five minutes of questions. >> thank you, mr. chairman. attorney general, my first question would involve the immigration, claim 89% of all asylum applicants attended their final court hearing to receive a decision on their application. however this claim is misleading because the d.o.j.

so he and shelby in the house. we had months of hearings and the rest and the work that was proud by that committee was very valuable to the 9/11 commission. and in the legislation establishing said it should take advantage of all those things and we would hope that this commission would take advantage of some of the other oversight committees -- committee's work. let's hope we can have the clarity of a bipartisan commission with high-level national leaders on it. as the committee calls for, with expertise in the areas that are important, whether it's law, law enforcement, security, civil liberty, civil rights, privacy. different range. read it. it's in the bill. it's online. some of -- let's just go that route. it's the preferable route to go. why wouldn't we? why wouldn't we? reporter: how -- a quick follow-up on that. how long are you willing to wait? when democrats seem to have a real fear that what happened on january 6 could occur again. how long are you willing to wait before democrats decide to just go at t

at the time federal judge richard posner wrote about the decision, shelby county versus hold ner struck down a key point of the voting rights act to obtain federal permission in advance to change their voting procedures call preclearance. as violating the fundamental principle of equal sovereignty, he quotes that, of the states. this is a principle of constitutional law of which i had never heard for the excellent reason that there is no such principle. that's right, john roberts just invented it. he invented the principle so he could do what he wanted to do to break and destroy the voting rights act, one of the most successful pieces of voting rights history. where do we find ourselves eight years later? look what chief justice roberts has done. he took this completely effective way of balancing all of these different interests and he destroyed it because he just didn't like it and nothing has risen up in its place. in fact, what we have now are a republican party further radicalized and using their power in states and localities to do what they can to gain an advantage. take what happ

now, i asked one republican, senator dig shelby, about whether this bill was actually dead. this is what he told me this morning. quote, if it's not dead, it's been slow walked and it is short of breath, john. i think that gives you a very good glimpse as to where all of this is headed. now, one of the chief argument you've heard from republicans including mcconnell is the fact that there are already investigations under way both by the department of justice and right here on capitol hill. we expect that in a few weeks we are going to see a bipartisan report from the homeland committee and the rules committee, a bipartisan report that senators have been working on for several months together about what exactly transpired. and that's why you have some republicans saying it is just not necessary. you also have some republicans arguing that this bill is too political in nature. of course it is structured very similarly to how the 9/11 commission was structured. i think that talking point is really something where republicans don't want this to continually be in the spotlight as
