whitehouse: thank you, mr. president. i'm here today as we close in on the vote on the disclose act scheduled for tomorrow to urge my colleagues to vote yes on that measure. i have introduced the disclose act in every congress since leader schumer first unveiled it in 2010 on the heels of the wretched citizens united decision. every congress just about every time i've set foot in washington i have sounded the alarm on the ever growing tsunami of slime that citizens united unleashed into our elections. i rise once more today to urge this chamber to end the flood of dark money drowning our democracy. this is not inevitable. as late as 2006 the amount of dark money sloshing around in our elections was only $5 million. in 2020 it had crossed the billion dollar threshold. big special interests don't spend a billion dollars without expecting return on investment. and that has damaged our democracy. voting to clean up that mess presents clear choices. whether or not billionaires and big corporations can purchase influence in sec

. >> senator whitehouse, thanks for joining me on the show tonight.uld you say to those who described judge cannon's bizarre pro trump ruling so far as flawed, biased, as part, isn't as corrupt even >> i think all of that is correct, i think it is wise of them to try to move forward under the judges order in order to avoid lots of time. at the same, time appeal the more egregious portions of the order, if there's one thing that is executive branch, it is the criminal investigation authority, and the idea of a judicial branch, specifically an appointee of the subject of the organization project themselves into it too slow or stop down the investigative process is unprecedented, which would be an easier to use. >> senator the reality is that we talk about trump packing the court with effectively stolen seats. but he packed the judiciary from top to bottom the same amount of appellate judges in one term as barack obama pointed in two terms isn't the case that trump could disappear tomorrow night's judges will be producing ridiculous reactionary corrupt r

senator whitehouse has led the way. it would literally say to america you have the right to know who's paying for this candidate's ads, who's putting all those ads on tv, what special interest group is behind this cause? senator mcconnell says we should be dealing with serious issues. there is no more serious issue than the integrity of our campaign process. and i know as a person who has been a candidate over many years, it's changed dramatically. i can remember not that long ago when the first super pac effort on the democratic side raised something in the range of $4 million to $10 million. i can tell you that has been increasing by multiples every year. and on the other side same story. do we need to sit down, both political parties, and put an end to this madness? do we need to tell mr. seid and his family take your $1.6 billion and spend it for something that is really wholesome and of value to your community and your nation rather than to get into the hunt to be the biggest spender -- mr. seid became the biggest

i want to thank senator whitehouse for his leadership on this legislation and testimony at the rules committee hearing i held on it this summer. senator whitehouse has championed this bill since 2012, and i have been proud to support it alongside him in every congress. i also want to thank leader schumer for holding a vote to advance this bill today. while the vote was ultimately unsuccessful, it is important that the people of this country understand that senate democrats and only senate democrats, it appears, remain committed to addressing secret money in our election. this vote could not have come at a more important time as we are seeing an unprecedented flood of money into our elections. over $14 billion was spent during the 2020 election, the most expensive in our country's history. as we approach the general election in november with 48 days left, this is already -- and we still have 48 days left -- the most expensive m midterm election ever. one estimate expects nearly $10 billion will be spent just on political advertising this election cycle, more than double the $4 billion

exasperated and very frustrated with the president biden's ad libbed comments, which i might add his own whitehouse co, a task board members, and no idea. he said before it aired on tv and was shared on twitter. so this was a very on coordinated ad lib comment, and it is public health nonsense. it is a very dangerous and right now because we're trying to roll out by balance adapted vaccine in the u. s. and in other countries worldwide. and by telling people that dependent, because over there are going to be lulled into complacency and not take the new back in which are absolutely critical to help ward off the winter wave and the winter wave is coming. so this was a horrible message and it's not true considering that in the us alone, 40000 americans have died of code in the last 90 days alone. in the 40500 people are dying a day, you know, and 911 level of death a week. that's just not acceptable. so i'm really, really started by and why do you think he said it? i think it could be political because, you know, maybe china who some independent voters are ahead of the mid term elections, which is comi

a reason whitehouse report showed a 9 fold increase and sanction issued by washington. since september 11th, 2001 legal and media analyst, lionel says that only heads of state can change or deal with sanctions. not economist. the question is to very good question. will a sanctions economist change either the sanctions themselves, the efficacy of the sanctions? the appropriateness, i go now. i would think the best people to be doing this in any particular country would be heads of state and not somebody who is making a $150000.00. again, not, not to belittle the position for somebody who is not merely 8th, a civil servant, a person involved. we don't hear about sanctions anymore. we don't hear about them. nobody. most people have forgotten all about it. so i would think after 7 months of, of focus in this, we're getting around to this now. somebody now said, you know, maybe we need, i want to have somebody look at these sanctions. we've been sanctioning since 911 north korea. ugh, drug of our country devolved in, in drug importation, an export. what is left to sanction?
