chair durbin: senator whitehouse? sen. whitehouse: thank you, mr. chairman, for your leadership on this issue. attorney general -- i don't know what you are hearing. i'm sure you meet with a lot of constituents in illinois, but i want to share with my colleagues that when rhode island's -- come in to see me to ask for what they need to support them and their professions, in the last couple of years they have started raising this question of student that. -- student debt. they are recognizing there is so much student debt out there, it is starting to depress their ability to put people who should be in houses into houses because they are so burdened with debt. so, it's telling for me when you hear the realtors of the country coming and saying, you have to do something about the student loan debt. because we are seeing people who we should be able to put into a house, at the wright, their lives, they have the right level of income, they are ready for this responsibility, they just have too much student loan debt. i'd appreciate everyone's attention to

senator whitehouse, thank you for being here. you were in that entire hearing. what did you learn that you think the public needs to know? >> well, the committee rules, unfortunately, keep me from describing anything i learned in that room. but clearly with the public reporting that's already out shows something that ought to be of really grave concern and that is a scheme involving a junior subordinate within the department of justice to basically try to roll the senior members of the department into taking action to provoke election returns to be reversed in a whole variety of swing states. and i think that's pretty clear from the proposed letter that the subordinate drafted. it's a matter of public record that that letter is out there and it's also a matter of public record that this guy was the confirmed head of the environment and natural resources division, which doesn't have a whole lot of say over elections and he was just acting as the civil chief. but again, no role in elections. so peculiar for a subordinate senate confirmed to the e & r position to b

that there isn't, you know, optimism, but it's very clear that there are some key friction points. whitehouse visually saying this is going to be to discuss a broad range of issues whether be climate change of ghana stand gaza and also iran . but it's clear that there are really those latter to issues are what may dominate this meeting. and this is where there are some key differences between the israelis and the americans that will be sitting down in that meeting now with respect to the goals of the israeli prime minister, he has already made it clear in an interview this week here in the united states with the new york times that he desires to expand those illegal cell months in the occupied territories. this is the odd, not only with international law, but also the viewpoint of the by the ministration. but he is going to this defending colleague, standard policy, natural growth. another issue that is going to have a bit of friction is the desire of the binding ministration to potentially put in a causal it and occupy the east jerusalem. the is really per mr. bit a bit vague, of whether you

to death, as they tried to force themselves into the airport. whitehouse says it's removed about 17000 people in the past week. but the european union has criticize the evacuation assets. you foreign policy chief joseph barrel claim. the u. s. security at the airport was overly strict. and preventing afghans from ensuring he warned it was mathematically impossible for the us and its allies to fly out with tens of thousands of afghan personnel and their families by the promised august 31st deadline away from the apple. though there are signs of normality with ministerial offices opening for the 1st time since the taliban takeover. rob mcbride begins out coverage, answering the taliban coal to turn up for work. most government employees arrived at their offices for the start of the working week to be met by a new set of gods for the taliban. it's another important step towards securing power. we are quite pleased that there has not been any looting or anything and the people are beginning to, to be confident and going back out and resuming their normal lives. and hopefully in a very shor

washington dc with demonstrators chanting, pre ask, understand, i'm by trade us, you will say demanded whitehouse helps struggling afghan population. it does come as politicians across natal member state plane the u. s. and joe biden, in particular, for the full of us can stand, don't quarter, looks at the mounting under 20 years of occupation. more than 2 trillion dollars spent hundreds of thousands dead. it's half the price tag only to get a humiliating defeat and botched evacuation. in return, naturally the president had some explaining to do to the american people, majority of americans, and forgive me, i'm just the messenger no longer considered to be competent, focused, or effective in the job. i haven't seen the only reason we're against this is a place from which ben loudon attacked the united states of america. had this been in another middle eastern country where he could have easily moved from we would have never gone to gas. biden's proverbial house of cards already looks as if it's coming crashing down the atlantic council called washington deer caught in headlights. the administrati

president biden has come under steve and criticism from opponents for a perceived shambolic us withdraw. whitehouse now claims that wanted to avoid a quote, crisis of confidence by evacuating earlier but admit it belated response, had failed to avoid that. anyway, we did contemplate a big grey tail move of afghans and others in the july or early august timeframe. we made the determination not to do so because not just africa and government officials, but supporters of the afghan government. and i can't stand including many of the people who want to come out now said that doing so would trigger a complete crisis of confidence in the government as it turns out. not taking out the vacuum, not doing that. evacuation didn't exactly save the afghan government. we acknowledge that, but that was a consider judgment at the time. despite the complexity of getting thousands out of afghanistan, the taliban has warned the u. s. and allies of consequences if incomplete, true withdraw isn't completed by the pentagon. so on august 31st deadline, since the mass evacuation started from cobble airport, 20 people have

$3000000000.00 in humanitarian, a looks like american taxpayers have been subsidizing the lives of luxury for whitehouse cronies across the planet. while the infrastructure of the united states is decaying and falling apart, in some cases literally and the u. s. economy creeks, we now have a situation where the government is handing out cash all over the world to notoriously corrupt people. i think the investigation is regarding corruption and janice and the american involvement. then it should have started in 2002 when the americans invaded and occupied at janice ban because they rog in a way, corruption with them very ordinary people have become enormously rich. the previous wars who are just demand or maybe, or a strong man. now, multi millionaire, only 2 percent of the aid gets to the target population. most of the other money leaves up can need that through contracts by americans in foreigners, or through simple theft corruption. alright, so the come of the program here on our tea. hungary is now engulfed with disputes over its possible exit from the e. you offer a pro government newspaper cold for

whitehouse: with that, we are concluded. the presiding officer: under the previous order the senate stands adjourned until 9:30 a.m. tomorrow. >> $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. a final vote is expected tomorrow. senators also spoke about the next bill on the agenda, a $3.5 trillion budget plan. more live senate coverage when lawmakers return here on c-span2. >> students from low income families the tools they need to be ready for anything. >> comcast supports c-span2 as a public service. >> tonight we are thrilled to have with us chris bayles with us. chris is a professor of sociology and pluck policy at duke -- public policy at duke university a leader in the emerging fields of computational science, examines fundamental ilquestions of social psychology, political polarization and technology using large scale social media platforms in-depth interviews and the latest advances in machine learning. he hasnt written for "the new york times," "the washington post" n and cnn regularly lectures audiences in the government and

first know whitehouse, deputy press. secretary says that locked downs are out of the question, and soon thereafter, biden completely contradicts her. we have the tools in our 2 belt to fight this. this is very to fight this vaccine. and we, we are not, we're not going to head towards a lockdown. why not? we'll do infection rates hospitalizations, death and numbers, whether they're on the rise or declining. none of it seems to actually matter to the people in charge. the war against cove it has turned into yet another political battlefield and regular americans are just caught in between left to fend for themselves. but nothing has been done with the sole purpose of the american people for. ready ask them not in my lifetime, and most likely not my parents wait time either i think everything is done with how they can benefit those as a top how they can best benefits. they say that their shareholders or their campaign contributors. it's very convenient for the government to say that it's all on individual and it's all on people who are, if you get back to me or on people who are aware of a

techs about the management of the airport. luckily must demand that access to the airport is safe. whitehouse correspond to kimberly, how can join us live now from washington? so kimberly would just say hearing there from the top box spokesman and cobble saying a lot of saying that this is now a time for unity. and it will, afghans must get together to, to build the country together and asking for the help of international partners as well, that they are ready to work with all of them. but as the us administration has maintained, they will taking a wait and see approach or this right? and while the united states has said that it will continue as humanitarian assistance, contrary to the appeal by the taliban. for them to be trusted for the money to go to them directly, that is not how the united states intends to operate. the humanitarian funds will continue to flow, but it will be through 3rd parties or non governmental organizations. there is certainly a feeling in the united states that well they had to cooperate with the taliban as part of the withdrawal evacuations. they certainly don't t

the whitehouse has not responded publicly to the families groups letter. this is an outcry for help from, from the administration. he has a storage oppertunity to do what previous administrations before him failed to do. a bipartisan group of senators has proposed new legislation to force the government to release classified 911 investigation documents, or given explanation on why it cannot. the american people should be outrage that their government continues to conceal this evidence and information without any explanation or justification to them. its cause is bigger than these family, even though it is justice for them that is immediately at state. the saudi government ought to be held accountable in court and in the court of public opinion . 15 of the 19 hijackers on 911 were saudi nationals, the 911 commission concluded in 2004. if there was no evidence to support claims of a high level saudi roll in the attack, the commission revisited the issue in 2015 upon discovery of new evidence, but did not change any of its conclusions about official saudi inv

the, the, i was just breaking into our coverage to take you straight to whitehouse, to listen, to press the button over the issues of got a song to provide the american people with a brief update. and this on the situation in afghanistan. since i spoke to you on monday, we've made significant progress. we've secured the airport enabling flights to resume, not just military flights, but civilian charters and other from other countries. and the n g o z taking out the civilians and vulnerable african vulnerable life ganley's. and now we have almost $6000.00 troops the ground, including the 2nd airborne, providing runway security, the army chance mountain division standing guard around the airport. and the 24th marine expeditionary unit assisting the civilian departure. this is one of the largest most difficult air lists in history and the only country in the world, capers project in this much power. on the far side of the world. with this degree, precision is united states of america. we've already evacuated more than 800000 people since july and approximately 13000 since our miller traile

whitehouse is currently preparing a declassified version of report by us intelligence agencies. the public release, it said, though to be inconclusive in part due to a lack of information from china on astray, leah's face of new south wales, meanwhile, has set a new hi daily cove. at 19 cases and thailand's death toll from the virus has crossed 10000. the vast majority of that, just in the last 4 months. the surge comes as vietnam receives some vaccine help from the u. s. and taiwan has started using its own job for the virus. it's got hybrid takes a look at the region from bangkok. more than half of us julia is 25000000 people are in lockdown. hospitals in its largest city sydney, are under severe pressure as its home state of new south wales sets. a new daily covered 1900 infection record of 900. and 19 this after 2 months of lockdown, health officials emphasizing that, the way to counter the search is through vaccination. the solution easy now. and i urge everyone in those local government areas who have access to that vaccine to feel those appointment vacancies and get a vac

we'll go to whitehouse, correspondent, kimberly hockey, but 1st to charlie stratford in campbell. so charlie afghanistan wakes up this morning without that american military presence talk a through be dramatic events of the past you out. well, yes, really quite incredible scenes here in, in carnival resort in robes package last night. the gun fire, we initially thought started round about $1230.00. we initially thought it was possibly some sort of a tank or taliban fighting. i should like to certainly in the wake of those kind of attacks from see it in the last few days, but then it became a habit, a gun fight was pointing into the sky and it was literally scott, a line of cobble was lit up with rage a trace of fire. there seemed to be very few people on the streets, but obviously to talk about very intent on showing what they describe and celebrating what they describe as a victory over foreign powers. a victory that is won them in their words, independence. it's all about of all we're always sort of framed this conflicts as a battle for independence, a battle for sovereignty. an

let's go to whitehouse. correspondent, kimberly how get chosen from washington d. c. and can be really the pressure on president by them from home and abroad in terms of that final withdrawal date and the clock ticking away. yeah. and the pressure is growing, particularly in the u. s. congress were members of congress are increasingly arguing for an extension of that august 31st deadline. the latest include one member of the president's own democratic party, as well as a republican member of congress who made a secret overnight trip to afghanistan. the members of congress are molten and peter meyer. both of them are veterans of the u. s. military and well, their trip itself has been controversial. they have been highly critical of the by the administration said that their trip was necessary to conduct oversight. and what they say has been nothing short of the debacle in terms of this evacuation. both men have been highly critical saying that this is something that would have been entirely avoidable. there is no way they believe that all of the vulnerable app, as well

well 1st of all, i think the bi whitehouse has helped elevate the santas even more. feels like 2024 is already be gone. but no governor on the sands is i think is absolutely correct to fight back and say, hey, let's have a let's take a hard look at doing locked downs and all these mass mandates. again, after we've gone through really devastating economic times. so i think he's, he's looking at the people of florida, realizing that he's got their support and he's going to stand and say, no, we're not going to do this again. especially as more and more parents are saying what we don't want the locked down. we don't want to have school shut down, we don't want them asked mandates and he's saying i hear you and i'm going to. 2 i'm going to stand strong on your, on your behalf. don, going back to governor cuomo, because this is really been the headline and everything that's happening with governor cuomo, he, he started taken pretty serious heat during pandemic, over comments that he made about, about nursing homes. even prior to this though, even during that period of time, and he thought t

and president biden speaking from whitehouse, defended his decision, and continue to draw down of us forces in afghanistan, though, admitted that the rapid collapse of the country happened faster than expected was. and i stand squarely behind my decision. after 20 years, i've learned the hardware that there was never a good time withdraw us forces. that's why we're still there. we were clear eyed about the risk. we planned for every contingency, but i always promised the american people that i'll be straight with you. the truth is, this did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated, have canister them political leaders gave up and fled the country. the afghan military collapsed sometime without trying to fight how the president said that the united states provided the money, the training, the resources. but in the end, the afghan gover military simply didn't have the will, and the us could not provide them the well to fight for their own country. he said 6000 us troops will be on the ground this week to help with the ongoing, really evacuation. that's what it is, efforts as to why

and kimberly how kiss whitehouse correspondent is there for us in washington dc. but 1st let's go to alan fisher. he's also been listening into that pentagon briefing that you've also been listening to alan, a clarification there about just what happened yesterday. and also this acknowledgement that there are still specific threats in that area. well, is certainly something that the americans talked about yesterday. they weren't aware of a threat stream as they call it. they have been waiting for a number of days from ice o k. even though they have moved the perimeter. the gods are running the parameter farther away from the airport. they still see that eyes a threat. what is interesting is that of course, we knew that there were 12 americans that, that numbers know going up to 13 part of the reason for that will be the fact that they had involved at the moment in retrograde. so what's thought that's taking military equipment and equipment that is used by the americans and i've gotten this done and moving it back to other places around the world. and one of the th

well in other news, in catholics on a series of explosions and amunition, whitehouse have killed 9 people and injured thousands more. a fire broke out at a military unit. why? how he used to store ammunition, resulting in a nice 10 explosions, 500 tons of t and t, y report to the school. if they had death to make similar pay, nuclear could have resulted in applause comparable to the devastating explosion in a route last year. just to give you a sense of the scale people living near the site have been evacuated to safety. a criminal probe has been launched and finding more than $200.00 a british businesses along with face and political need to have launched the joint campaign against cope with passports, which they claim are a sign of oppression. the initiative called together has launched the petition calling on people of different political views to unite and once described as a fight for freedoms. some of our hard one, right. so now under serious stress being ordered to produce medical certification at pubs, clubs, theaters on public transport at schools, universities, or anywhere else

afghan forces collapsing far more quickly than anyone expected. alan fisher, this is this report from whitehouse. my fellow americans. the war in afghanistan is now over. joe biden brought an end to america's involvement and its longest war 20 years, which still lives cost money, and damage to medic. his image in the world war to remove the taliban, which again sits in power and cabal, were left with a simple decision, either follow through the commit made by the last administration and leave afghanistan. or say we weren't levy and commit another tens of thousands more troops going back to war. that was the choice, the real choice between levy are escalating. he promised all americans who wanted to leave would be evacuated before the u. s. military where they went somewhere between one and 200 are still they are stranded, but biting insists not forgotten. and for those remaining americans, there is no deadline. we remain committed to get them out if they want to come out . but the president pace is going criticism from political opponents and even though is on his own site, the say he fail his l

but the coalition of landlords and real estate groups requested the call lift, the bam whitehouse says its disappointed by the decision for joe biden is calling on city state landlords and cabinet agencies to prevent evictions. that the u. s. gulf coast is bracing for a potential major hurricane to strike this weekend. jeff has the details in your world whether update. hello, here's her headlines for the americas. we could have 2 hurricanes make landfall around the same time. the 1st we're talking about is a tropical storm ida, but it is expected to strengthen once it enters those warm waters of the gulf of mexico. let me put this on. this is showing those high temperatures are brown, the golf. in fact, the northern gulf coast. your water temperature is about 32 degrees. so what this means, this will allow for the rapid intensification of this disturbance and either could make landfall as a category 3. hurricane late on sunday, and new orleans just west of new orleans. we know it is below sea level, so this area will be inundated no matter where the track is. now we're also keeping tab

we've also had leaks a sort of whitehouse talking points. so were released on capitol hill, which was a very good framework, i think for jo biden's, upcoming speech leading with he was not going to allow another decade of conflict. the surgeon thousands more troops to fight a civil war. and i've got a son with in which the africans themselves do not want to fight. i think the white house is attempting to use very rapid capitulation off the afghan forces. and the afghan government itself show, well look, this just proves are points that we should not be there because they don't want to fight. either we should remember that there is and has been overwhelming public support for the, for the u. s. to withdraw from afghanistan consistently over the years. it's true to the matter in which this is taken place is, has been shocking. we've been reporting for a week or so that we knew that the fall of saigon and vietnam had been long on their mind. they didn't want an enduring image off us failure and us defeat to take holes off the public conscious a

the check is why perhaps we heard of americans returning far, far, ordered individual whitehouse as soon conferred the depth of their proceedings, the explosions. we were given an interview, his 1st interview by the new minister. information of the taliban. the new i've got government, he told us the ultimate we what happened at the airport is america spoke. that is america for because america in the early days and other european countries, they cool the people to come to the air flow to safety to the web. floating out of the dangers after i heard the message, it came rushing and that tens of thousands to the airport from all over. i've got a stud and then once they were refused engines, what they, once they realize that it would be difficult at that to catch a jet to fly out. they chose to camp out to remain there, believe in what they had previous baton. had about that this was perfect routes for a terrorist attack. the terrorist strikes is that the cottage and may have, they said that they had the war, the americans and the british, before they should bear tara threat, that there was

by september, the 15th whitehouse correspond, kimberly how kit has moved from washington d. c. what we know is that the us president put in place a direction that the defense secretary should really look at figuring out how to ensure that the military can continue to operate during the pandemic, the national security would in no baby be at risk. and so as a result, he directed the defense secretary to look at implementing this type of a mandate. and now that memo going out to all members of the military in order to prepare them for what appears to be an imminent decision and implementation of that . and that is to see math vaccinations of the us military. now, the date is september 15th, but if infections continue to arrive, there is the possibility we understand of moving that date up even sooner. but one of the problems will be given the fact that this is one of the world's largest employers, there are millions of people that will be effected. and as a result, it will take time. us scientists to says he was ousted from the health department for criticizing the government. ear

a looks like american taxpayers have been subsidizing lives of luxury for whitehouse cronies across the planet. while the infrastructure of the united states is decaying and falling apart in some cases literally and the u. s. economy creeks. we now have a situation where the government is handing out cash all over the world to notoriously corrupt people. i think the investigation is regarding corruption and janice and the american involvement. then it should have started in 2002 when the americans invaded and occupied as janet ban because they brought in a way of corruption with them. very ordinary people have become enormously rich the previous word or 2, or just demand or maybe, or a strong man. now, multi millionaire, only 2 percent of the gets to the target population. most of the other money leaves that can need that kind of contract by americans in foreigners or through simple f corruption, a laptop. so i had painting, that's how i read quite literally the net, torres environmental campaign group extinction. red, brilliant rebellion returns to the streets of london, hosting a chan

president biden has basically been huddled with senior military officials and security officials, ad whitehouse in the situation room. i'll get to that. but you know, you mentioned earlier, and murat as well that at least for us, marines were killed. several others injured were possibly hearing that number could be as high as 10, but i want to be very clear. we don't know that that is not confirmed. those are some of the reports that we're getting right now that are starting to come in. we do know that for us, marines were indeed killed, 3 injured buddy. that number could be higher and certainly could change us. so much of this information remains fluid and developing that said pentagon spokesman john kirby did tweet a statement a little bit earlier about an hour ago, confirming the death. a of quote unquote u. s. service members. from what kirby called, today's complex attack cobble airport, adding that a number of others are being treated for wounds along with the many afghans who fell victim to the heinous attack. the statement goes on to read that our thoughts and prayers go out to the love

blink and said it follows a pattern of belligerence from iran. hillary man leverett, tis a football whitehouse national security official. she thinks, relations in the region. and let me go to get worse. i'm afraid we're in for a period of a glitch or a tension, especially in bobbing iran and israel. there is no real diplomatic channel or framework to discuss or handle these tensions as, as there was when we had the j. c, p o, a before president trump pulled the united states out of it. that has really taken diplomacy out of the picture. and so there are been, there's been, there's been escalation now for, for a couple of years. we've had israeli attacked on iranian target, their nuclear scientists, they're nucular installations, various other targets in iran, that israel either claimed credit for or quietly said that they don't know who did it. so there's been escalation now for a period of time, and i think it was inevitable that we would see iranian around in retaliation and, and, and increasing escalation from their part. even though they denied that they are responsible for this attack. i

they don't trust, they don't trust us. whitehouse, they don't trust jen pataki to give actual real truth. what's going on the deal, the pentagon, they want to go see for themselves. i think what was actually taking place on the ground. 7080 percent of americans wanted to see us out of afghanistan. there was no argument on that front at all, but to see how badly this withdrawal has gone. and how botched it's been. i mean, i'm seeing reports today that by august 31st there still will probably be thousands of americans still stranded and they are stranded in afghanistan after we pull out . what are we going to do then? and i'm concerned that with the obviously isis, al qaeda being released from these prisons on the move and on the loose and afghan, a stand that we could see some really problematic things take place with those americans. that quite frankly, had been stranded and a very callous and cavalier way by the binding ministration. we weren't here nonstop calls about his mental capacity about how he has endangered thousands of not tens of thousands of american lives from members of hi
