Speaker 6 Wow, these hearings in the United States Senate during the government shutdown this week have been absolutely explosive.

Speaker 6 You had one hearing where Democratic senators were exposing that in the demolition of the White House East Wing, the construction workers may have been exposed to deadly asbestos.

Speaker 6 We'll talk about that. Then there was another hearing and what should have been a sleepy Senate Commerce hearing on transportation nominees, as Dan Diamond refers to it as.

Speaker 6 But then it was uncovered that a MAGA Republican senator, Bernie Moreno, was secretly spying on a Democratic senator, Jackie Rosen. He was sneaking like right outside her car to get her VIN number.

Speaker 6 And Democratic Senator Jackie Rosen was like, were you spying on me? You were looking at my VIN number. You went to my dashboard.
Like, what the hell are you doing?

Speaker 6 And then there was even more than that. You had a hearing where a courageous officer, a Capitol Police officer, testified before the United States.
Senate.

Speaker 6 And then you had these MAGA Republican witnesses all say that the individual who beat and almost killed this Capitol police officer deserved to be pardoned.

Speaker 6 And there's even more explosive data than that and details than that. So let me go through with you what went down.
The first thing I want to show you is where you have Democratic Senator Markey.

Speaker 6 He's questioning some of these witnesses at this hearing about apprenticeship programs that are offered by unions that the Trump regime is gutting.

Speaker 6 And Senator Markey uses his time to ask these apprenticeship union leaders who help with these apprenticeship programs, you know, are you aware if there was any

Speaker 6 asbestos controls or steps taken at the East Wing when they demolished it at the White House? Because they used non-union workers.

Speaker 6 So as a result, I mean, we saw these smoke clouds outside of the East Wing that look like what we normally see in very deadly and fatal asbestos exposures in the past and we know asbestos was used in the east wing and in donald trump's rush to tear down the east wing what we may uncover in the future is that he exposed those workers who did not go through the steps that the safety precautions that take place in unions because trump went around the unions that trump may have exposed those workers to very deadly asbestos exposure where those people may die early in the future future.

Speaker 6 Watch this questioning. And again, you haven't seen this in many other places.
And hat tip to Dan Diamond for flagging it here. Play this clip.

Speaker 7 Liuna runs a world-class apprenticeship program that includes training on asbestos abatement.

Speaker 7 Many old buildings were constructed and renovated when asbestos-laden products were industry standard, including the White House.

Speaker 7 Are you aware of any permits or other indications that the White House, that President Trump took any of the appropriate safety steps when Trump demolished the east wing of the White House to protect against asbestos exposure.

Speaker 9 I'm not aware of anything that they would have done to protect.

Speaker 7 So the White House could have exposed workers and passersby to deadly asbestos. Is that your view?

Speaker 9 They could have. And I can tell you, had it been a union workforce, we would have access to that.

Speaker 9 This administration chose to use a non-union workforce to go do that on a union project. One of the first things we teach in our apprenticeship is to have your brother or your sister's back.

Speaker 9 And if you see something, you say something. If something's unsafe, you can stop that work.
This isn't a union job site, so we have no access to it. So I don't know what's going on out there.

Speaker 7 No, thank you. And those safety standards, they exist for a reason.
It's to protect workers.

Speaker 7 It's to protect innocent people who may be nearby, even working in the White House from exposure to asbestos.

Speaker 7 And those standards just don't disappear on the whim of President Trump.

Speaker 7 They're there because of all the lessons we learned, especially because of asbestos workers who died at unbelievably high levels before we actually put protections in place.

Speaker 7 And that's why I wrote to the contractor

Speaker 7 who tore down

Speaker 7 the East Wing to demand answers on whether and why workers were put at risk for Trump's big donor ballroom.

Speaker 7 It's just another example of how Trump is the most anti-union president, anti-safety president in history.

Speaker 7 And that is something that absolutely we have to get to the bottom of.

Speaker 7 I've received no answers yet in terms of any asbestos protections, any other safety protections that were put in in order to ensure that workers were not unnecessarily exposed to health endangering situations.

Speaker 7 So I thank both of you for your work on these issues. Thank you, Mr.
President.

Speaker 12 For the record, every American shop that I visited emphasizes and takes great pride upon their safety record, And they are subject to the same OSHA regulations as regarding maintaining safety and exposure to asbestos or anything else.

Speaker 12 So, just for the record.

Speaker 7 No, I agree with you. The question is: does the president think he can waive all regulations because it's the White House and not any other property in the United States?

Speaker 7 And if that was the case, then these workers were exposed.

Speaker 6 Next, we'll show you this sleepy Senate Commerce hearing on transportation nominees, and it quickly devolves into a heated fight, as Dan Diamond puts it, between Jackie Rosen, Democrat, and Senator Bernie Moreno, when Moreno admits that he was tracking her team's cars and her automobile's VIN numbers.

Speaker 6 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 7 As somebody who's been here 10 months, I think what we just saw was exactly classic Washington, D.C.

Speaker 7 In other words, the car that I drive should be safe. The car that my staff drives, who cares about them? I get a paycheck.

Speaker 13 I object to you stalking my car and my staff to find the VIN numbers to present to this committee. What are you doing there? What are you going to do with them? It's an invasion of our privacy.

Speaker 7 If you came and asked me for my VIN, I will tell you what I have in my car.

Speaker 7 It's visible from the outside of the car.

Speaker 13 So you went and followed me.

Speaker 7 You went and followed me to see who drives me

Speaker 13 to write down their VIN number. You interrupted me.
You're attacking me. You watched me go to see who drives me, writing down their VIN number so you could find out what they have.

Speaker 13 That seems a little crazy.

Speaker 7 Just to

Speaker 7 expose the hypocrisy, much like, for example,

Speaker 7 hypocrisy that you get paid.

Speaker 7 You walk about my paycheck. You get a paycheck, but you walk by,

Speaker 13 I'm donating my paycheck, sir, and I would happily be in legislation.

Speaker 7 What do you have to give? What do you say to the staff? What do you say to the TSA workers? What do you say to the air traffic controllers?

Speaker 13 What I am saying to you is it's a Republican shutdown, my friend. You are in control of the White House.
You are in control of the House. And you are in control of the Senate.

Speaker 13 And if you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-a-Lago

Speaker 13 at a gold-plated dinner while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents, sir.

Speaker 13 You are blind to the suffering of your people.

Speaker 7 Does it take 60 votes?

Speaker 13 It takes you listening and coming to the table.

Speaker 7 It does take 60 votes.

Speaker 13 You want to have this. Come talk to me in private, sir.

Speaker 7 So it does take 60 votes for the record, just so that we're clear on the reporting, so that there's no misinformation. It does take back to you, Mr.
Edwards.

Speaker 7 Question about airports.

Speaker 6 How bizarre is that?

Speaker 6 As Arthur Delaney writes, earlier in this hearing, Bernie Moreno said he looked up all of his colleagues' VIN numbers to expose them for not buying newer vehicles with expensive safety features.

Speaker 6 Maybe a weird way of making the point is Jamie Dupree writes, to get a car's VIN number, you have to physically walk up to the car and look into the windshield.

Speaker 6 So Marino was personally going up to his colleagues' cars. How many cars? Staff cars, senator cars? He was spying on their vehicles? What the hell is going on here?

Speaker 6 Then in the Senate Judiciary Committee, here you have Democratic Senator Dick Durbin cross-examining one of Trump's federal judicial nominees about the kind of anti-abortion,

Speaker 6 anti-women, anti-reproductive rights stance. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 14 Do you believe that female patients are less less likely or less able to understand medical advice than male patients?

Speaker 15 Senator, I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question. Could you?

Speaker 14 Well, you said not every patient understands the consequences, and we certainly know that we're talking primarily of women of childbearing status.

Speaker 14 And you went on to say there are a number of patients who don't understand the nature of the fetus. Do you believe that female patients are less likely to understand this?

Speaker 15 No, Senator,

Speaker 15 what we were saying in those arguments is we were summarizing the evidence in the record for the court.

Speaker 15 There were several witnesses who testified by a sworn declaration that they wished my recollection is they said they wished they had had that information because they didn't quite understand

Speaker 15 the nature and the consequences of

Speaker 14 the fetus women?

Speaker 15 My recollection is

Speaker 15 that

Speaker 15 the testimony in the record in those sworn declarations said that that would have been helpful information that they would have liked to have had. And I believe that also was

Speaker 15 kind of harkening back to statements in the Supreme Court's Casey opinion, as well as perhaps Gonzalez v. Carhartt.

Speaker 14 I'm going to tell you, I don't understand what you're saying based on this quote here.

Speaker 7 And

Speaker 14 if you wish, it's your decision.

Speaker 14 If you want to clarify what you've just said in light of what I quoted, please do so, because at this point, I believe there's really a serious question as to what you were trying to say.

Speaker 15 This interview was just simply making an argument based on the evidence in the record. And it was the colour.

Speaker 14 Your decision is to whether you want to clarify it, but at this point, I think it's going to be a problem for some of us.

Speaker 6 Now, going back to this health committee hearing on the apprenticeships, more questioning from Marky right here. Let's play it.

Speaker 7 Donald Trump has waged an all-out assault on union clean energy jobs. In Massachusetts alone, 17 projects, $8.6 billion

Speaker 7 of investment, and almost 17,000 clean energy jobs have been axed

Speaker 7 or stalled in just nine months.

Speaker 7 And because of Donald Trump's attacks, from canceling permits to repealing the Inflation Reduction Act tax credits, union workers are seeing job offers evaporate and work sites shutter a port development project in salem with hundreds of union jobs under a project labor agreement axed a cable manufacturing plant in somerset that would have created hundreds of union jobs axed

Speaker 7 3 000 good jobs from the solar for all program that trump cut axed the offshore wind projects up and down the massachusetts coast which were going to have thousands of union workers putting those workers out there in a new industry they're all in the crosshairs to be axed

Speaker 7 so so far

Speaker 7 we have lost nationwide 158 000 clean energy jobs in just nine months that is an economic record look at that destruction That's the most destruction that anyone's ever taken to one industry, such a brief period of time.

Speaker 7 That's Trump's record. Union building trades workers are starting to see the unemployment rolls for the first time in over a decade.
It is a shameful

Speaker 7 situation, and Trump's attacks will have a chilling effect on new projects for years to come.

Speaker 7 Union apprenticeships actually require high-quality education programming, but they also required mentored on-the-job experience.

Speaker 7 And with Trump and Republicans shuttering these work sites, apprentices cannot train.

Speaker 7 So, General President Booker, how are President Trump's attacks on the clean energy sector affecting your workers, including your apprentices?

Speaker 9 It's the chaos, it's the uncertainty, it's the inability to recruit new members into it, it's the inability to have our current members who are in the system

Speaker 9 not be able to graduate the system because they don't have a job to go to. They're going to finish their current job, they're not going to have their next job.

Speaker 9 So, it's just this chaos and uncertainty is

Speaker 9 creating an environment where it's going to be very hard to bring people back into the construction industry at a time where we should be bringing people into registered apprenticeship and in the construction industry.

Speaker 7 General President Donnelly, could you add your perspective to this situation as it's unfolding? No,

Speaker 7 I would echo the same sentiments from President Booker. The one other piece I guess I would add would be that

Speaker 7 You know, we put a lot of time, energy, effort, and resources into training to do this offshore wind work,

Speaker 7 and that all just came to a screeching halt. And so now we have a bunch of members with a bunch of credentialing that we don't know if we're going to be able to put back to work in the future.

Speaker 6 Next, we see Senator Adam Schiff from California asking critical questions during this week's Senate Agriculture Confirmation hearing about why is the Department of Agriculture stealing people's personal private data?

Speaker 6 And are they selling it to AI companies? Are they selling it to government contractors? Are they spying on people?

Speaker 6 Why are they getting and gathering all of this data on people and creating a database and a list?

Speaker 6 Is this part of the further plan to put Americans and migrants into concentration camps that ICE and Border Patrol is doing? Here, play this clip right here.

Speaker 7 Ms.

Speaker 16 Wolk, can you tell us what the legal authority is that USDA is relying on to collect, store, and share the personal data of tens of millions of Americans, including social security numbers, home addresses,

Speaker 16 simply because they received or applied for SNAP benefits?

Speaker 10 Senator, I appreciate that question.

Speaker 11 My understanding is

Speaker 10 there were four requests for state data, for state recipient data. One of the requests was made in May, and so I was at FNCS.

Speaker 10 But as I recall, I had no involvement in drafting or issuing that particular request.

Speaker 10 But I was aware of what was going on.

Speaker 10 And

Speaker 10 I would say I know that

Speaker 10 there is a lawsuit brought by

Speaker 10 numerous attorneys generals.

Speaker 10 And

Speaker 10 I hesitate to give my opinion in terms of what that authority might be because

Speaker 10 that may be an issue in the case.

Speaker 16 Mr. Walk,

Speaker 16 if confirmed, are you committed to reviewing this policy independently, objectively, to ensure that it does not violate federal privacy laws which protect Americans' personal data and identities?

Speaker 10 Sir, I appreciate that question. And

Speaker 9 I will say that

Speaker 10 I think the collection of data itself

Speaker 10 is something that we need to look at in general.

Speaker 10 As a 24-year federal employee, I certainly understand the privacy implications and that we have laws that protect data throughout the information lifecycle from collection to transmission to storage to disposal.

Speaker 10 And I will,

Speaker 10 and I want to make sure that as we

Speaker 10 use those data technologies, which carries promise, that we also make sure that we employ. deploy them in a way that abides by the law.

Speaker 6 Now, here was a moment, a very somber moment for me to even watch this to see what even took place you're going to see all of the republican witnesses at this senate hearing um there so the mega republicans wanted to do this like performative hearing on political violence say all the violence takes place with democrats it's all democrats fault but democrats were pushing back at this hearing and here you have democratic senator welch

Speaker 6 examining the witnesses.

Speaker 6 Most of them, all of the Republican witnesses who were there raised raised their hands when they're asked, do you support the pardons of the violent January 6th extremists by Donald Trump, the ones who killed police officers, almost killed police officers?

Speaker 6 Do you support

Speaker 6 the pardons of them? Every Republican witness raised their hand here. Play this clip.

Speaker 17 Everybody who was involved and convicted was pardoned.

Speaker 17 Raise your hand if you believe that those pardons were appropriate.

Speaker 17 All right. so that includes pardons for folks who were involved in attacking

Speaker 11 Officer Hodges.

Speaker 7 It does.

Speaker 6 And that means that included, like literally on that panel, the Democrats called Daniel Hodges, the DC police officer who courageously defended the Capitol and who was

Speaker 6 almost killed by the January 6th insurrectionists. He's sitting next to them.
He almost died, this guy.

Speaker 6 And all the Republican witnesses were like, yeah, the people who attempted murder on you, that makes sense to pardon them a year after they went to jail. You know,

Speaker 6 we support Donald Trump pardoning the people who wanted to kill you. I just want you to think about that.
But he persevered. Daniel Hodges gave this incredible speech.

Speaker 6 I want to share it with you during that same hearing. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 11 I'm speaking in my personal capacity.

Speaker 11 However, I draw upon my experiences as one of the few police officers in this country who has policed both the protests and riots of 2020, as well as the insurrection of January 6, 2021.

Speaker 11 I am intimately familiar with political violence, as when I fought to defend the United States Capitol and many of your very lives,

Speaker 11 I was beaten, bloodied, crushed, with my eye gouged and my skull smashed with my own baton.

Speaker 11 Political violence is a worthy topic for discussion.

Speaker 11 However, the press release I saw from the subcommittee chair made it clear that this was not going to be an honest consideration of various causes and effects, but rather a ham-fisted attempt to propagate the unsupported notion that liberal ideology is the greatest origin of modern political violence.

Speaker 11 This is particularly galling to me since every single member of the majority on the subcommittee has either contributed to one of the most infamous examples of conservative political violence of our age or the protection of its perpetrators.

Speaker 11 Every majority member who could do so voted to acquit Donald Trump during his second impeachment, and now we find ourselves in a new horrific age of political violence, one where it is carried out by the state itself.

Speaker 11 A permanent resident was arrested without a warrant and is being threatened with deportation simply for his politics.

Speaker 11 A Tennessee man was arrested and is being held on $2 million bail for sharing a Trump meme on social media.

Speaker 11 Members of Congress have been denied access to ICE facilities despite the law granting them unannounced oversight rights.

Speaker 11 These attentions and prohibitions are all grounded in the threat of deadly force and violence, are absurd or outright illegal, and politically motivated by right-wing ideology.

Speaker 11 The fact that these actions are carried out by agents of the state doesn't make them acceptable, it makes them far worse.

Speaker 11 The current administration is doing whatever it can to downplay the threat that right-wing violence presents to the United States, including literally erasing data.

Speaker 11 Between September 12th and the 13th of this year, the Department of Justice deleted their own study from their website, which came to the conclusion that right-wing extremism poses a much greater threat than left-wing extremism.

Speaker 11 I quote now the opening paragraph of this National Institute of Justice report published just last year.

Speaker 11 Quote, militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States.

Speaker 11 In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violence extremism.

Speaker 11 Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.

Speaker 11 In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives. A recent threat assessment by the U.S.

Speaker 11 Department of Homeland Security concluded that domestic violent extremists are an acute threat and highlighted a probability that COVID-19 pandemic-related stressors, long-standing ideological grievances related to immigration, and narratives surrounding electoral fraud will continue to serve as a justification for violent actions.

Speaker 11 There will always be those who seek to further their own political agenda through extra-legal violence, and that is what law enforcement is for.

Speaker 11 But to reduce the risk of the population at large from falling into radicalization, the solution is simple. It's unfettered democracy.

Speaker 11 One of democracy's greatest assets is how, when unsullied, it provides a mechanism for everyone to have their voice heard.

Speaker 11 And when people believe their government speaks for them in some manner, they're less apt to seek violent means to accomplish their political agendas.

Speaker 11 So make voting easier, not harder. Stop gerrymandering people into oblivion.
Stand on the strength of your ideals, not the depth of your donors' pockets.

Speaker 11 Stop shopping for judges and start seeking ideas that withstand scrutiny from any political ideology.

Speaker 11 When you tell the people that an election was stolen from them, they will take up arms against their neighbors without a shred of evidence, I know.

Speaker 11 But if you tell them brilliant political rhetoric is their birthright and civic engagement is their privilege, they'll instead take up the book and the pen and will all be richer for it.

Speaker 11 And when you

Speaker 11 just so you know, that this is the

Speaker 11 helmet that U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick wore on January 6th, 2021.
And

Speaker 11 he died the following day. We just, the family member just got back that, just got back that today.

Speaker 6 Thank you. And by the way, are you seeing what I'm showing you on any, hopefully you're not watching corporate news anymore, but have you even heard this stuff? Like, think about the

Speaker 6 the the significance behind this report that i'm doing like have you seen this anywhere else next i want to show you senator mike rounds republican senator right here

Speaker 6 and

Speaker 18 he views the election as a real repudiation of the fact that republicans are just not having government work right now here play this clip we are losing money in the economy that's not good for anybody let's focus on that let's get our jobs done i think people want to see the trains run on time they want to see the airplanes run on time right And that's something that we want to get back to the sooner the better.

Speaker 6 And you had Claire McCaskill on MSNBC.

Speaker 6 And she was talking about how the results from Tuesday's election show that Americans, if you're running for a Senate seat as a Democrat, that this could be a good year for you.

Speaker 6 So Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Roy Cooper in North Carolina, that this blue wave that we saw can now allow the Democrats to to take control of the Senate.

Speaker 6 And it's looking more and more like that's going to happen. But just think about what these clips I just shared with you in the Senate.
But let's play what Claire McCaskill has to say. Play the clip.

Speaker 19 So I think the cumulative DOJ, all the stuff with him prosecuting his enemies, it piles up after a while.

Speaker 19 And the frustration that people have that I encounter at the grocery store: what can we do, Claire?

Speaker 7 What can we do? I mean, you guys see it, right?

Speaker 19 Everywhere you go. Well, today people could do something, they could vote.
And I think unless Donald Trump turns into a different person tomorrow,

Speaker 19 I think this trend will continue. And I think you're going to see.

Speaker 19 I've talked to a lot of people tonight, and there's people like Sherrod Brown that are very happy tonight. There are people like Roy Cooper that are very happy tonight.

Speaker 19 I think the Senate, we didn't think the Senate was going to be in play next year. I think after tonight, the Senate's definitely in play.

Speaker 7 It definitely is

Speaker 18 on that sort of little circle.

Speaker 7 It's on the cost of that chat repellible.

Speaker 7 Next year, Texas, Texas, I'm talking to you. You've been doing next year, Texas.
