Questions, well jump in. Plus Kamala Harris leaving for pennsylvania where her Campaign Plans to pinpoint critical slivers of the electorate including Polish American voters. Will that be the key to winning the biggest prize on the Swing State board. And russia accused half a dozen british diplomats of Spying And Sabotage and kicked them out of the country just as President Biden is about to meet with them at the White House. What does the timing of all it tell us. We start with Donald Trumps unfounded claims about migrant crime and new details showing a national Neonazi Group had a Hand In helping spread the claims all the way to the former president. Despite being told those stories are baseless and false, Donald Trump kept repeating them, at the debate and at a rally and when a reporter asked him where he got that information well thats come from stories and television and some of the pets, i dont know, Cats Dogs or both, but some of the pets were taken by the migrants. And it is a
Death toll from September 11th, 3,103 people in this country died yesterday. The gut punch comes when you realize that Many Americans have almost gotten used to Reading Numbers like that. Actually, four days in the past week have ranked among the deadliest days in this countrys history, ever. The pearl harbor attacks that killed 2,400 people will forever be remembered and described as a day that will live in infamy, as proclaimed by fdr, and in the aftermath of September 11th, president george w. Bush asked for prayers for all of those who grieve for the children whose worlds were shattered that day. Yet today, 3,000 families wake up wondering what life looks like now, today, without their loved one beside them. And we wait for the president or really anyone to acknowledge the somber occasion in any way. No reference to the death toll or to the virus, for that matter, on Donald Trumps twitter field. Instead, tweet after tweet after tweet about the election he lost in the most secure el
Welcome, everybody. I think we have some republicans that have a leadership election, but theyll be coming in. Can you see me . Can you hear me . Is it working . Well, the election is over. Theyre still counting the votes and making legal challenges and once all of the legal challenges are made and the votes are counted, well have that done. We still have two outstanding races in georgia to determine the control of the senate. And the committee will keep moving forward doing its work. We have next week social media oversight. I cant wait to have the social media ceos come to the committee and explain themselves about their platforms. I think theres a lot of bipartisan support to take a hard look at social media platforms. The earned act is still a business pending before the committee and after the hearing well have markup. But today, we have mr. Mccabe, the number two at the fbi during crossfire hurricane. I think hes going to appear remotely. I appreciate him coming. And what ill do
Quorum be dispensed with. The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Schumer well, mr. President , for more than a year and a half, leader mcconnell and Senate Republicans have refused to take action on the housepassed for the people act. At a time when our democracy is under siege in so many ways, the for the people act is a bold proposal that will restore Peoples Trust in our democratic system, a trust that is fading. It is under it is for the people. In order to make a more perfect union. It would shore up our elections from threats from abroad. Thats something we have just recently read more and more about. Why arent we doing more on that . In fact, when senator van hollen a few days ago put on the floor the an act u. C. Of an act that would say russia should have sanctions imposed on it if they interfere with our elections, the other side blocked it. I hope theyre not following Donald Trumps obeisance to russia and his view that putins just okay. It would also dismantle systemat
Congressman bob barr is with his deputy serves as president resd Law Enforcement Education Foundation. The question we ask our viewers in the first hour of our program today was are they concerned Political Division inth this country will spur violence for after the election . How would you answer that question . Guest its a question we should never really have to ask but the state of the country date is such that it is a relevant question to ask unfortunately. We have seen the past six months or so significant violence erupting in cities from coast to coast and in americas heartland. It does raise the question in peoples mind how much of this violence, if any, i is related o the political environment and whether it will continue after the election. None of us really have an answer for that but i worry a great deal that for example, it President Trump is elected those who are opposed to him which seem to be many of those engaged in violent acts will continue their violence. But its dif
