whitehouse: mr. president, i'm glad today to stand with my colleagues to support senate joint resolution 4 affirming the validity of the equal rights amendment. we have heard from senator cardin and senator murkowski why it is so important for congress to pass this resolution and enshrine protections against sex-based discrimination in our constitution. the e.r.a. would bolster efforts to ensure equality in the fields of workforce and pay, pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment and violence, reproductive autonomy, and protections for lgbtq individuals. although we have indeed made strides in each of these areas, we know how fragile these gains can be without the durability of a constitutional amendment. take, for example, the current supreme court's approach to the constitution. as the dobbs decision makes clear, a majority of the current court believes that the meaning of equality under the equal protection clause was frozen in 1868 when the 14th amendment was ratified. well, in the hundred yea

member o the senate judiciary committee and the chairman of the senate budget committee senator whitehousesenate judiciary committee do >> well, we are going to b have a hearing and keep th pressure on the court to do th responsible thing just a chairman durbin just said. the conduct of the justices, with regard to their ethic obligations, is on the administrative side of the court, not the adjudicativ side of the court. so, first of all, congress has the ability to inquire and legislate in that space. and second of all, the chief justice has the responsibility to oversee that space if h wishes, through the work of th judicial conference. which he chairs -- so the tools are there to do a proper investigation the chief justice has simply been unwilling to do that. and i think continued pressure on him to do that is the right way to proceed at this juncture >> the most severe thing, think we have discovered in th revelations about justic thomas, is the sale of the property in georgia that his mother still lives in, that he owned, a piece of. because that, as we last discussed, it is a matter

especially for the highest court in the land who have no standards whatsoever, that's why senator whitehouse introduced the supreme court ethics recusal and transparenc act, also known as assert ac searched act, that would force the indicted state supreme court to put forward a code of conduct and also strengthe those reporting requirements i the campaign - ethics and government act. it would also create a mechanism whereby ethica violations by a supreme cour justice could be heard by an independent panel and rule upon if he is out of bounds, then the court would define or th committee would find that yo car out of bounds and they would recommend some kind of penalty. so, that's the kind of accountability that is neede for supreme court justices at this point, they operat without public accountability, and as a result, we see th kind of corruption that ha invaded the court with clarenc thomas being exhibit a, an former justice scalia bein exhibit two. >> you bring up a lot of reall important points again, all eyes on chief justice john roberts this is his court at the moment and it's cricket

senator whitehouse maybe should be investigated for various things he receives a lot of allegations.received a lot of dark money kind of contribution. he's probably used campaign funds to go on trips. i think his wife runs an organization that i'm not sure if everything's disclosed in terms of benefits that have been there. so if he wants to do an investigation, maybe he could start with himself. >> all right, molly, thank you. great to see you. and now from the web of leftist forces trying to silence and punish foes on the court to china's efforts to intimidate dissidents here in the united states . well, on monday, two men were arrested in new york for running a secret police station at the direction of the ccp. is our belief that the ultimate purpose of this illegal police station was not to protect and serve, but rather silence, harass and threaten individuals here in the united states . >> it turns out they weren't just targeting chinese dissidents, but also democratic lawmakers. according to the daily caller, louis john huang, who the fbi arrested on monday's pictured with the

senator sheldon whitehouse has called on the judicial conference to refer -- for a possible investigation today watchdog nonprofit has filed a civil and criminal complaint against thomas, my panel i back with me hayes, thomas made many othe disclosures that year travel reimbursements, even a 500-dollar stained glass medallion, not the propert sale to harlan crow. what do you make of this >> i mean, one of the points that has been made many time over the last week is that w expect the supreme court justice to be able to interpre really obscure, difficult, thorny laws, but his apparen excuses that he couldn't understand the ethical guidelines that were require of him that makes no sense. he has to have known that this is a transaction that should have been reported, and if thi is his argument, maybe h should be on the bench to this point. maybe he should consider retiring if he can't keep trac of those sorts of things in hi head i am just saying, there is n way that anyone who is in that position would not know that you have to disclose this sort of deal period >> the troubling thing for m

do you back senato whitehouse's call? >> i think that senato whitehouse is on the right track. the supreme court does not hav to go along with the same type of ethics rules that members o congress and other judges do at the time we ended tha leniency for the supreme court some of what we are readin about in terms of judge thomas is really quite outrageous and i think it needs to be investigated >> but by the department o justice? >> yes, right. >> and a number of colleague of yours in the house and in the senate to have said he should be impeached. do you think that if wrongdoin is found he should be impeached? >> i think the first thing you want to do before you impeac somebody is investigate situation. i think it is what the department justice should be doing. >> seven u.s. meant a lot of time, really throughout he career working on issues relating to the judiciary is senator feinstein, when your longtime colleagues. -- called for her to resign because her medical absence is keeping democrats from confirming judges. no doubt a big priority for al of you, but do you think she

going to do that is the question what are senate democrats goin to do about it senator sheldon whitehouse is democrat of rhode island who serves on the judiciar committee and has been pushing for supreme court ethics refor for years, and he joins me now senator, perhaps i took more offense to this letter than should've. maybe i got too worked up abou it how did you receive the letter from the chief justice replyin to your committee's invitation to testify >> well, two things stood out. the first was he felt oblige to attach a document to hi letter it was a five page, i would say, memorandum about judicia ethics that all nine justice and apparently had signed, a if that was going to solve the problem. and what was noticeable abou that, one, clearly they ar feeling some real pressure i they feel they have to put a addendum like that on to the letter, to tell the world, w take ethics seriously, and the unbelievably, the actual gap i their ethics is not that there is no ethics code. there is a judicial code o ethics not like there aren't statutes there are statutes it's the dammed no process

so i think that's what happened in such and such a quick fashion that former whitehouse economists that sullivan, he said his thoughts on the consequences of adopting a possible briggs currency. let's have a quick listen to what he had to say. if briefs used only the brick referring to possible bricks, currency for international trade, they would remove an impediment that now towards their efforts to escape dollar had gemini, i think we could have been any better than ourselves if we tried. he's really explain what's going to happen. the u. s. a. car of constantly use that currency, essentially a threat against other economy saying look, if you, if you don't pay by all rows, then we're going to make it very hard for you to trade with that one. because everyone trade in the, the paper money that we print, i think what he's saying there is absolutely correct once that is gone. and it looks like that may have actually just happened. and it's very, very difficult to say how u. s. foreign policy can keep going in the way it has done the time. in memoria, we've seen recently in china. how do

senator whitehouse and i asked the congressional budget office to run the numbers. is it possible for republicans to stand behind those commitments? it doesn't add up. madam secretary, we have talked about this. the numbers do not add up, not even close. for republicans to make the math where they would have to cut every federal program by 86%. goodbye to medicaid and the guarantee of nursing home coverage. the border would be protected, roads and bridges would crumble. if they wanted to extend the truck tax law that they would have to cut everything else. it is a big mystery why frederick republicans have not put a proposal on paper. democrats are following the smarter approach. help working families, help the middle class get ahead, reduce the deficit at the same time and show these matters are not mutually exclusive. i'm going to highlight a few budget matters that are highly important to the treasury. the committee has a good bipartisan hearing on affordable housing. this scenario there is a clear opportunity for bipartisan cooperation. it proposes to expand the

i'm a former whitehouse economist the phillip and he said his thoughts on the consequences of adopting a possible briggs currency. let's have a quick listen to what he had to say. if briefs used only the brick referring to possible bricks, currency for international trade, they would remove an impediment that now towards their efforts to escape dollar had gemini. so what are your thoughts on that assessment? i don't think we could put it any better than ourselves if we try. he's really explain what's going to happen. the u. s. a. car of constantly use that currency, essentially a threat against other economy saying look, if you, if you don't pay by all rows, then we're going to make it very hard for you to trade with that. with everyone trade in the, the paper money that we print. i think what he's saying there is absolutely correct once that is gone and it looks like that may have actually just happened. and it's very, very difficult to say how u. s. foreign policy can keep going in the way it has done the timing memoria. we've seen recently in china, how do you want women be? has the

his arrest the kremlin said he'd been caught red handed, or whitehouse correspond kimberley colquit has more from the get go. as soon as the white house learned about the detention of having garage coach, it has always denied the allegations against him. i asked for these formal charges that have now been leveled against him. ah, the white house is not in any way updating its response. but what i can tell you is that the state department official is saying that what it, the binding ministration is doing essentially is pressing for fair and transparent treatment. so really what they're saying is that they are going to continue to try and really defend him in these circumstances. and from the bottom line is, as the button administration is really echoing, that rare bipartisan condemnation of the allegations that we've had in terms that statement that has come from capitol hill from the top senators. mitch mcconnell, as well as chuck schumer, essentially demanding the release of evan gerson ridge, how they're trying to handle it, and so far it's been unsuccessful, has been to get what's kn

host: senator sheldon whitehouse t a atement -- guest: senator whitehouse has been a leader in tryinge chairman of the senate judiciary committee subcommittee . there is one in the senate. as his role, he works typically on a bipartisan asia so i think the most recent round of letters were democrats only. he has really pushed the judicial conference which is the policymaking body of the judiciary. the judiciary loves federalism. it's very much in favor of federalism so everyone does their own thing on a lot of different policy matters but the judicial conference is a body to come together twice a year and they have committees and they talk about ways to improve the effectiveness of the judiciary. sheldon whitehouse has been asking for them to close the loophole and they have the power to do so. under the post-watergate law, the it says disclosures have to -- have to happen from all three branches of government and gives them the ability to tighten those laws without needing congressional approval. after scalia's death on a free ranch happened, he started pushing for closing the person

but my understanding is that the biden whitehouse wants to cooperate in bringing people to justice through the international criminal court. but the pentagon is not cooperating, fearing of setting a template where it, its own soldiers may in fact be held account. right. that's what that's always been there that hasn't taishan for the united states joining the international criminal court. and frankly, it's almost always come from the right. it's been this fear of, you know, never allow a united states soldiers be, can commanded by a foreigner, even though they already are in our current system and people to know that a lower levels. but i think it depends on what you mean by inside the pentagon. you know, nobody might, administration probably things differently, but there are, you know, military men who come through the system, some of whom think that military men, of all stripes of all, you know, allies will, should honor this code. and should there should be some sort of standard that, that they can be held to others believe what we were saying earlier that nope, we don't, i'd never want

senator whitehouse should be investigated maybe for dark money, probably used campaign funds to go on trips. thing his wife runs an organization i don't know if having has been disclosed benefits there so if he wants to do an investigation maybe he can start with himself. >> thank you molly good to see you. from the left to china, on monday two men were arrested in new york for running a secret police station at the direction of the ccp. >> it is our belief the ultimate purpose of this illegal police station was not to protect and serve but rather silence harass and threaten individuals here in the united states. >> turns out they weren't just targeting chinese dissidents but also democratic lawrence, kroirng to a man arrested monday pictured with mayor adams and chuck schumer and be even went to a parent fundraiser for rep grace metrolink. the truth is the democratic party is getting cozier, at all well was caught in a home run trip and dianne feinstein being done by a chinese spy for decades so they plan to stand for dignity. joining me now lee zelden former gubernatorial candidate
