in the middle east in a crucial security partner coming and testifying or speaking to the united states congress and uh she can't be there to preside over this important meeting. i can tell you one thing that the republicans are going to be there in force uh we will be expressing our support for our ally. >> senator wicker. >> thank you. mr. leader, i appreciate that. just a few points. for 70 plus years, the united states has stood with israel on a steadfast bipartisan basis . today, republican members of the house and senate still stand for square 100% for israel in their fight for the right to exist and in their fight once and for all finally to have a jewish homeland where they can live in safety, free from the persecution that they have endured for over 2000 years. hamas is a terrorist group funded by iran, so are the houthis, so is hezbollah, these are three proxies of one of the major adversaries of the united states, that is iran, north korea, russia, and communist china, i call them the axis of aggressors. we need to stand steadfast for israel because hamas who made the attack october 7

[applause] greetings to all of the members of the united states congress who are here and the membersf kpac. i'm a very proud former member and i know the leaders who are part of that incredible organization are a force for progress in our country. for all of the other leaders assembled here, i thank you. in 2020, it was the leaders here who helped to energize, organize and mobilize. it is you who helped elect joe biden to become president of the united states and me to become vice president of the united states. [applause] and in 2024, we are counting on your leadership once again. president biden and i know this is a community that is a force and must always be recognized and must always be recognized for the leadership that has provided for so much progress throughout the history of our country. and your work is essential to our victory in november. in fact, earlier this week, i was in las vegas to launch the aanhpi voters for biden-harris. and i will tell you folks are fired up and ready to fight. today, we are 115 days out from the election. and while many of us have been involve

i hav the honor, the privilege, of representing the great state of colorado in the united states congress and the headwaters of the colorado river are in my district. in colorado we know how important it is to preserve, to protect, to strengthen these criticalater resources and how important data is to that effort. which is why this bill is so important. as has been explained by both the chairman and by representative lee, the federal priorities stream gauge network is a federal net work of streamages for flood and drought planning, water quality the national groundwater monitoring is a collaborative network that serves similar purpose. at the end of the day the improved water estimation and modern tecologies provide programs -- these programs provide grants to develop and implement new technologies and methodologies to measure water resources data. each of these program, i can certainly tell you, are valuable sources for water users across the state of colorado, across the upper basin state arks cross the lower basin state, indeed, across the rocky mountain west. it's critical that these

united states, came to washington for a crime against humanity. and today the protesters have already broken into the united states congress, where bibi netanyahu was such moment, when everything is tense there, haris will, apparently, meet with biden and trump, for haris this could be the kiss of death, because her party does not support israel, trump, on the contrary, is waiting for a meeting with bibi, with with whom he has always been on good terms, but... that it burns and it is unclear how his presence in your palm will end, but i would like to emphasize once again that it is very important what kamala haris says, how the meeting between her and the prime minister of israel will go, because this will give us the opportunity to at least somehow understand see, analyze the contours of the foreign policy that will follow it, because today to say that this or that american candidate, firstly, is not clear, who will, yes, who... will win, it is certainly not clear, and that’s there is a uniqueness of this political moment, because, probably, everything in the us political system is so unclear, which means in general there has been no western polit

we did not have the attack on the united states congress in the 1960s, but this happened, and there may be bigger events from now on. it happens , we have one minute and 30 seconds to take a poll by robert pope , mr. i will come back to the results of this survey and what will happen with this situation and the intensification of the bipolar gap and the future of the american society . january means 10 years ago, in 2011, if you had told an american that one day the supporters of an incumbent president would climb over the walls of congress . they demand the execution of the vice president and say that the election results should be annulled. well , such a thing was not expected. naturally, they are still trending now, and the trend that the polls show us is that day by day distrust of the government and political structures in america is increasing. it does, that is, regardless of the extreme left and extreme right that i mentioned, which are gaining strength in the american society, and they have such figures in the congress. america is somehow represented by figures like this lack of

he should not be welcome to the united states congress.my: tens of thousands are expected to protest netanyahu's speech. on tuesday 400 activists including over one dozen rabbis were arrested in a sit-in at the capitol. we will speak to the president of the israel academy of sciences and humanities. in then sonya massey. a 35-year-old black woman shot in her home after she called 911 for help. police initially claimed she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound but then police body cam footage proved they were lying. >> it remind you a lot of the tragic video that we saw like george floyd where there is a narration to the tragedy. he narrates that i'm going to shoot you in the face and then he shoots her in the face. amy: we will speak to civil rights attorney ben crump. all of that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. in washington, d.c. organizers expect thousands of protesters to march on capitol hill today as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu addresses a jo

congress. you think the president of the united states woke up one day and said civil rights act, that is a gooddea? do you think members of congress woke up and said the right to organize unions is important? it is when we withheld our labor, when we had civil disobedience and built coalitions so they couldn't ignore us. we moved in and made tell do it. it comes from us. remember that. those that are lining the pockets of military contractors so freaking disgusting and sending bombs that kill palestinian children watch out because this is getting bigger and stronger. and don't worry, apartheid is next. i know it is hard. implement your faces -- i watch the images and i see you, some on campuses, some neighborhoods, some show up to town halls demanding my colleagues to be accountable. i watch sometimes your tears, handshaking. i want you to remember somebody that a pastor taught me. share it with your community at home. he taught me that our country is not divided, it is disconnected. this is what netroots is doing. they don't want the same people working for environmental justice to trying to t

and they look to the united states to be a standard-bearer. and anyone in the united states congressdoing so at our collective peril in terms of our standing and what we stand for as americans. we stand for alliances, that we will be with our friends in favor of fighting against corruption. fighting for human civil rights and integrity. >> jimmy: keeping our promises? >> and keeping our promises. [ applause ] >> jimmy: have you ever been bitten by the president's dog? [ laughter ] >> no. >> jimmy: no, okay, all right. all right, we'll take a break. we'll learn more about the vice president, kamala harris. we'll be right back. [ cheers and applause ] detect this: living with hiv, craig learned he can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why he switched to dovato. dovato is a complete hiv treatment for some adults. no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: leo learned that most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. if you have hepatitis b, don't stop dovato without talking to your

this team here that is going to help in this november, to elect a majority of members of the united states congressho agreed the government should not be telling a woman what to do with her body. [cheers and applause] and when congress passes a law to restore reproductive freedoms as president of the united states, i will sign it into law. [cheering] indeed, we the people. so ultimately, to all the friends here i say, in this election we know we each face a question, what kind of country do we want to live in? a country of freedom, compassion and a rule of law or a country of chaos, fear and hate? you all are here because you as leaders know we each, including our neighbors and our friends and our friends in our family, we each, as americans, have the power to answer that question, that's the beauty of it, the power of the people. we each have the ability to answer that question. so in the next 106 days, we have work to do. we have doors to knock on, we have people to talk to, we have phone calls to make, and we have an election to win. [cheers and applause] so, are you ready to get to work? do we

united states. they elect the congress, they elect the united states senate.imately, if you don't have faith in what voters do and who they send them. what are we all talking about here? and you can say that it's broken and you can argue that people that you don't like, some of them there or whatever at the end of the day, if we don't have faith in the voters and the people they sin. but i'm not sure what we're fighting about today. so i'm going to i'm going to take a glass half full approach to the people of the united states of america in the system that was set up by our founders, van as you read this i mean, if the seal team six argument is sort of my are right, that under this ruling, the president can task them to assassinate somebody who right? not, not a foreign leader. she's not, she's not right yet because of this idea that it has to be limited to the core responsibilities of the president, but we don't know because it's thing ping-ponging back and forth this i don't i don't know. i don't know if this is a pretty in court that it's going to be able t

united states government be it republicans or democrats, whatever new face of imperialism they are trying to figure forth we know that the united states government sponsors terrorists. we know that u.s. congress, that biden, that blinken, kamala harris, we are not going to give her a pass because she's black and a woman, are complicit of terrorism. we the people of the united states say that we are committed to liberation. that their win is not our win and their policy is not our policy. we say that we are and will continue to build an anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist strong movement that will move the forces of history. because it is the people and struggle that bring about change not the sellout career politician. so i'll leave you with this, gaza will free us all. >> gaza will free us all. >> gaza has freed us all. >> gaza has freed us all. >> free, free, free palestine. >> free, free, palestine. >> long live palestine. >> long live palestine. >> give it up for claudia. our next speaker is from jewish voices for peace. give it up for rabbi azar. >> nigh miname is esther. i'm here on behalf of hundreds of thousands of jews who stand in full and deep solidarity with our palestinian siblings

he should not be welcomed to the united states congress. on the contrary, his policies in gaza and the west bank should be roundly condemned and his right wing extremist government should not receive another nickel from u.s. taxpayers. thank you, madam president, and i yield the floor. >> the house will be in order. >> this year c-span celebrates 45 years of covering congress like no other. since 1979 we've been your primary source for capitol hill, providing balanced, unfiltered coverage of government, taking you to where the policies, debate and are decided all with the support of america's cable companies. c-span 45 years and counting, powered by cable. we take you live now to the u.s. capitol where the senate's ready to gavel in. today members are considering judicial and executive nominations. they're scheduled to recess at 11:45 a.m. eastern for weekly caucus meetings and to attend a joint meeting of congress for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. ... the presiding officer: the senate will come to order. the chaplain, dr. barr

very dear to my heart because as you may know, i aml one of the few manufacturers in the united states congressf theater lighting equipment and exports a big fraction of what we do, so we understand from the stress u.s. manufacturing has gone through over the last 30 years and i in mitigating that an out of the 241 projects exim has supported in illinois, i'm really happy to see that nearly three fourth t have been from small businesses. early in this administration, exim restarted its outreach division to engage american companies about the services ur so , how has the exim bank been engaged with countries across the company that may benefit from assistance it provides because not every business knows you exist. >> we appreciate the question, congressman. we appreciate the commit continuing to work with us throughout state and localities, especially in the state of illinois. we just met with the governor's team, talking about new products like you m.i.a. >> thank you. i wanted to encourage you to out more to small businesses everywhere because some of them no and the ones that know are enthusi

achieve their sinister goals in gaza, despite the support of the united states and some traitorous governments of the united states congress. calling netanyahu's speech a criminal . and they added: hamas, islamic jihad and resistance in gaza are standing with full strength it caused the zionist enemy to drop their bombs on palestinian children and women in gaza. the president also said in the inauguration ceremony that only with convergence and legalism in the government system can we overcome the bottlenecks and meet the hopes and expectations of the people. mr. doctors. sincerely serving to pay attention to the above documents, observing justice and fairness as well as staying away from criminality is one of the commitments of the 14th government and said: a convergent and law-abiding society can make the governance stronger and empower the society and progress the country. emphasizing the preservation of unity and cohesion, the president said: "government." 14th, try hard in the field of serving the people and upliftment of islamic iran. after the inauguration ceremony, the president went to the presidential building wi

the united states congress may not have ever remembered a member holding the handwriting of a war criminal during a speech by a foreign guest. even the jews living in america made some of these firsts. they chanted against the war criminal before netanyahu's speech here inside the congress building. people were protesting outside. thousands of americans gathered in front of the zionist regime's crimes at the same time as netanyahu's speech condemned in gaza and burned the american flag and netanyahu's effigy. the us congress has hosted a war criminal. netanyahu has started the genocide of palestinians in gaza in the last 9 months. we are here to say that the american people are against the presence of this war criminal in their country. netanyahu should be in prison, not here. the american police arrested dozens of people by attacking the protesters. in the hotel where netanyahu is staying, some anti-war activists showed their protest against the presence of the prime minister of the zionist regime in their country by releasing worms and some other insects. the upper floors of the building

life from berlin and benjamin netanyahu is in washington where he prepares to address the united states. congress is really prime minister, is graded by a flurry of protests, as he thinks to bolster some ford for his war against thomas. but he finds himself facing a series of boycotts and a deeply divided congress also coming up to miss all exchanges between israel and has the law for civilians in lebanon. to flee the crossfire, they follow a family seeking shelter as fears of further escalation, grow.

we did not have the attack on the united states congress in the 1960s, but this happened , and bigger events may happen from now on . we have one minute and 30 seconds . mention a poll by robert pope. mr. abulfazl. yes, well , the point you mentioned was an accurate point. it was really january 6, well, maybe before january 6, that is, 10 years ago, if in the year 200. to an american you said that one day the supporters of an established president will climb the walls of the congress and demand the execution of the vice president and say that the election results should be annulled . this is that distrust of the government and political structures in america is increasing day by day, that is, apart from the extreme left and extreme right that i mentioned, they are gaining power in america and such figures are somehow represented in the american congress. faces like margery green on the other side and faces people like mrs. kurtz are moving the atmosphere in this direction, that is, the atmosphere is being moved in this direction by the american society, and this mistrust of the federa

united states military. the second, just six weeks later, then segregation in our armed forces. both reforms faced resistance and skepticism in the united states. congress held hearings to debate the merits of allowing women to serve in the same capacity as men. the very first witness called was general dwight d. eisenhower. ask why he supported the reforms, his answer was simple -- "we need them." the same is true today for virtually every one of nato's strategic objectives. to achieve them, we have to meaningfully include women at every level. as we know, the evidence shows that when women enjoy greater physical security, when their rights are respected, when societies have higher levels of gender equality, entire countries are more stable, more prosperous, more peaceful, and when women are meaningfully involved in making and keeping the peace, it is more likely to endure. this is not just a women's issue. it is a national security issue, and economic issue, and, yes, a moral issue as well, including for nato, which was built on a shared commitment to defend liberty, to defend democracy, to defend the rule of law. living up to that commitment is also

become the next president of the united states, and for us, i am speaking specifically about myself, for my work now both in the verkhovna rada and with the united states congresse support of the democrats , republicans are equally important, and do you know why? and because it is the congress that is there before the presidential elections, and will decide after the presidential elections in the united states, just like with ki'. only help the armed forces of ukraine, so our conclusion is simple and clear, work and to convince both democrats and republicans, these are our strategic partners. mr. valentine, another figure who appeared in trump's circle and obviously, in the event of the victory of the former president of the united states of america in the next presidential election, he will become the vice president of the united states of america, is vance, senator vance, who in principle previously ... was one of those who opposed the provision of military aid to ukraine, which is true, he had his justification there, he also opposed trump, yes, trump he generally called hitler, if i'm not mistaken, american hitler or something like that, can we now say that

social security will be automatically cut look me in the eye and tell me you really think the united states congress will allow social security to be cut. >> i would expect some action to be taken before that happens. >> if you think the united states congress will sit here and allow social security to be cut, even if there is not affect penny left in the trust fund, you have been dipping into your ketamine supply. [laughing] it is not going to happen. we will just go into the general fund and take the money, won't we? >> that would add to the deficit as compared to current law. >> i get it. we make these distinctions between mandatory spending and discretionary spending but it is really out of the same pot. >> there is just one general fund to the treasury. >> one option is to reduce our spending, correct? >> that's right. >> what if we cut our spending 1%. one percent. what if we turned to every single department head in the federal government and said next year, you're going to cut your spending 1%, not 5% or 4%, 1%. something families living under bidenomics, which is defined as paying more to l

what they do require is people in the united states congress to have courage. to act. and do what we know is the right thing to do. and not cower based on special interests and powerful lobbyists who are encouraging them to do something that's actually contrary to what is the health and well-being of our nation on such a specific issue. amanda: i've shared my story with the hope of encouraging women across the country to vote for candidates who support the right to choose because i firmly believe that politicians have no place in family planning. especially when it doesn't go as planned. here in michigan, we worked hard two years ago to pass prop 3, to protect reproductive freedoms, reflecting the belief of 57% of michiganders that every person has the fundamental right to reproductive freedom. however, with the upcoming presidential election, there's still so much at stake if republicans gain control and are allowed to implement a nationwide abortion ban. with the election just four months away and the potential implications for reproductive rights, how are you planni

message to me, as i said on the senate floor in a speech last week was, before he comes to the united states congressve him come look us in the eye and explain his responsibility in the intelligence failure that made the hamas attack even worse. >> if you're frustrated with prime minister netanyahu should the president refuse to meet with netanyahu in the future? he met with him this past week. where should the line be traun with netanyahu? >> my view is that we need to really stand up and confront the extremist policies of prime minister netanyahu and knowtrich and ben go vir. that's the message we're getting from many in israel. while you had people in the congress standing up and giving netanyahu big applause -- >> real affirmation. >> you had people in the street, israelis in the street, protesting the fact that netanyahu and his right wing extremists, they've been clear they don't prioritize the return of the hostages, you had israelis protesting that fact and the message to me was, if you really want to take a pro-israel position right now you have to confront the very extreme positions of neta
