perfect opportunity to actually have national defense authorization bill on the floor of the united states senate. that's most important responsibility we have as officeholders. clearly senator schumer has made a decision to call this the summer of schumer showboat's because every week we come back here we vote on a couple and then we have a show vote on some issue that has no possible chance of becoming law. these are simply opportunities for the democrats to try and provide some political cover for some of their incumbents and political trouble this year. but the fact of the matter is we have a limited number of days before election day we are day e actually going to be here in session. in fact that number, including today is about 23 days. that's all that is left between now and the election for us to process one of the most important pieces of legislation that we should be dealing with every year here in the united states senate. that is the priority that we place on our national security and making sure our country is well-prepared with the global threats that are out there. going to continu

opportuniy to actually have the national defense authorization bill on the floor of the united states senate. that is the most important responsibility we have as officeholders.at and clearly senator schumer has made the decision we call this the summer of schumer showboat because every week we come back year, we vote on a couple of nominations and then we have showboat on some issues that as no possibility of ever becoming law. these are simply opportunities for the democrats to try and provide some political cover for some other incumbents who are in political trouble this year. but the fact of the matter is we had a limited number of days before election day that we're actually going to be here in session. in fact, i think that number including today is about 23 days, is actually all that left between now and the election for us to process one of the most important pieces of legislation that we should be dealing with every yearni here in the united states senate, , and that is the priority that we place on our national security in making sure that our country is well-prepared for the glob

you were representing the 14th district in the missouri state senate, which includes ferguson and you became an important voice against a police violence. tell us about those days in ferguson at the very start of the uprising. and tell us a little bit about the emergence of darren seals as the voice of ferguson's african american community. from the beginning there was no script. there were people who are coming together because they felt the injury of a young black man laying on the streets for 4 hours. and so all of us no matter what our backgrounds were. we were all standing there stunned and disbelief. and so the protest didn't start actually until a few days after, but everyone was standing around gathering together people from multiple gangs, people from the underground music world. we were just all gathering together. and you could see the pain and people's faces at that time. it had been the 1st time i held a row man crying in fact, and so darren was among those people who were gathering amongst the many groups of people. and um, you know, we, we were trying to get answers. an

i knew her in the senate when she was attorney general and in the van i was working as secretary of state when she was working with the u.s. senate, we worked during the 2016 election on election security issues, we had a good friendship and working d relationship with her, and continued to take the country by storm. she is thoughtful, she is substances, and all politics is local, right? in california, you cannot succeed at higher levels of office, for people wondering if she has what it takes to unite our party, reach out to more than just base democrats to win in november, she has done it time and again here in california and she will do it throughout the country over the next 107 days. getting ready for the next question to let you know -- or to tell all the viewers how much i appreciate president biden's leadership, not just today or le the last 2 1/2 years, but over decades, having a chance to thank him, and a key message for us to amplify is with six months less than in office, and he will make each and every one can't. >> no doubt about that. he spoke with president biden, e have y

we we tell you before i was elected vice president what i would like united states senator. alifornia i was a courtroom prosecutor before then. and in those roles, i took on perpetrators of all kinds. creditors, who abuse women. fraudsters ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say, i know donald trump subtype. [cheering] i will probably put my record against his any day of the week. [cheering] nonprofit colleges are scamming students. donald trump ran for college that scammed students. as a prosecutor i specialize in cases involving sexual abuse. well, trump was found liable for committing sexual abuse. as attorney general of california i took on the big wall street banks and held them accountable for fraud. donald trump was just found guilty of fraud on 34 counts. but, let's also make no mistake, this campaign is not just about us versus donald trump. this campaign is about who we fight for. this is about who we fight for. just look at how we are running our campaign. so, donald trump is relying on support from billionaires

senate. what does that mean for your state?> yeah, you know, it is great to be on here with angela as well, i always talk about the fact that it is not lost on me that there have only been three black women in the history of this country, you know, never has there been two serving at the same time. so, i always say number four and number five are coming. but for us, you know, i think i can speak for both of us, this is really not about making history, this is about making an impact on people's lives, and so, in the eight years that i have been able to be of service in the house, i have been able to work on things like bringing clean drinking water and clean air. i have been able to focus on jobs as i was secretary of labor in our state of delaware, and similar to angela, our focus and our vice president is we bring qualifications, but we also bring experiences that impact the policy and impacts the work. and also provide a bold vision for the future. and so, i'm excited to be on the campaign trail with her. i hope people will b

[applause] i stand before you today as a republican nominee for senate from the great state of nevaday stand alongside donald trump to make america affordable, safe and strong again. we have a tough fight ahead but it will not be my first. the unemployment rate in nevada is nearly 25% higher than the national average. the biden harris economy might be fine for millionaires like senator jacky rosen but it is terrible for nevadans struggling with inflation and high prices. yet jackie and joe want to raise your taxes while dodging their own. i will work with president trump to cut taxes for working families and end taxes on tips for struggling nevada service workers. [applause] because life must be affordable for millions. not just millionaires. finally, look at my face. this is the high cost of war. if joe biden stays in office, more service members will pay this price. he has brought our nation humiliation, defeat and to the brink of more war. i united states of america.

menendez has been facing the threat of possibly being expelled from the united states senate after his conviction, after he was found guilty on those 16 felony charges, a number of democrats had said that they will be open to the idea of pushing him out of the senate. that is something that is rarely done, but something would require two thirds majority in the united states senate already, almost all of his senate democratic colleagues had asked him to resign. so his support had been crumbling when he was indicted, initially, and then especially so in the aftermath of this conviction, when the senate majority leader when those democratic calls for him to resign. now that menendez will resign effective august 20. that's when the governor of new jersey, phil murphy, who's a democrat, will appoint a replacement. the replacement will serve to the end of menendez's term, which is the end of this year, there are questions about who he might replace but almost certainly a democrat, that could potentially include the democratic nominee, andy kim, who's a congressman right now. he's the light i

today the united states senate will vote on the kids online safety act, which includes my legislation with senator bill cassidy from louisiana, the children and teens online privacy protection act, or coppa 2.0. with this vote, the united states senate will finally send a message to big tech that the days of indiscriminately of targeting and tracking children and teens are over in our country. that their privacy invasive business model must change, that young people and their parents are more important than shareholders' bank accounts. this vote is long overdue. on june 20, 1996 -- june 20, 1996, more than 28 years ago, at the dawn of the information age, when only birds tweeted and the graham was simply a -- gram was simply a measurement, i stood before the house of representatives and warned about the internet's unique threat to privacy. i stated then in 1996, that the internet would allow corporate america to have the, quote, opportunity to track the click stream of a citizen of the net, to sneak corporate hands into a personal information -- cookie jar and use that database to use

that was a new operation in the united states senate. no senate had ever had that kind of security operation before. they also when there were there were two incidents on senate staff where people were thought to have shared some information with outside individus. and those people were immediately dismissed, promptly dismissed. so the word among staff the staff who i've talked to was we absolutely will not tolerate leaks. this is very sensitive. we're going to deal with it with the utmost care and respect and sense of responsibility. so i think that for the people who worried that congress couldn't do this safely and effectively, i think that that the church committee investigation proved them wrong. they really did a very good job of maintaining that sense of need to protect information and resources and also help the american public understand some of the egregious abuses that the national intelligence community had committed on their behalf over the course of four or five decades. there were other critics who, you know, politically di
