and calling upon the united states senate to expeditiously pass this legislation and send it to president biden for signature. if signed into law the press act would establish the first federal press shield law in united states history. and will significantly strengthen press freedom by safeguarding journalists and the confidential sources. the press act creates a federal statutory privilege to shield journalists from being compelled to reveal the confidential sources, and prevents federal law enforcement agencies from abusing subpoena power to access a journalists e-mail and phone records. this long-overdue legislation represents a significant leap forward, not just for journalists but for the sanctity of journalism itself. and for the constitutional right to freedom of a press. sag-aftra stands in solidarity with the journalists, their employers and press advocacy groups who share the common goal of a federal shield law for journalists. the press act is bipartisan legislation that guarantees and protects our most basic of first amendment principles, the freedom of the press to dissemina

now, it's one of the great ironies of my time in the united states senate for the last 18 months, i have been accused by multiple people of being a stooge of vladimir putin. i take jesh with that. in -- issue with that. in 2003, i are supported the war, and later enlisted into the marine corps, one of the kids in my town to enlist in the marines that year. i served my country honorableably, and i saw when i went to iraq that i had been lied to. that the promises of the foreign policy establishment of this country were a complete joke. just a few days ago, we saw our friends in the house waving ukrainian flags on the floor of the united states house, which i would love to see them waving the american flags with such gusto and i won't complain about the fact that it was a violation of the rules of decorum, but it certainly was. but it reminded me and i believe in 2005, maybe 2006, when that same exact chamber, the members were raising their fingers stained with purple ink to commemorate the incredible iraqi elections that happened in 2005. i was in iraq in this 02005 and for the parliament

it was denied even a debate on the floor of the united states senate. because the former president of the united states -- and he said this publicly -- thought it was not in his political interest for the nation to be served. it was not in his political interest for a bipartisan border security bill to be enacted by congress. the american people are smart. so all of the performative chest pounding today on border security is utterly disingenuous. when senate republicans aggregated their basic governing responsibility and refused even to let us debate and amend that bipartisan border security proposal. the american people see that and understand that. now, mr. secretary, the american people also see and understand what is happening at the southern border and just as they see the hypocrisy and cowardice of senate republicans on border security, they do not see success in the administration's handling of the crisis at the southern border. and i wonder if you have reckoned fully with the fact that you do not have a good- faith partner in the minority party

that's why you hear from the majority leader of the united states senate a different voice. because that voice has to speak for, again, the most vulnerable. and at the same time, would we not want to have the nation acknowledge the tragedy that happened in maryland, until baltimore harbor? where so many detrimental disasters are, could be forthcoming, because of the terrible tragedy of the bridge coming down, the lack of money to be able to support a new system of construction, and as well to be able to pay for it. so here's the real story. tragedy struck. the baltimore harbor. some weeks ago. in striking the baltimore harbor, we saw not only the maryland delegation come together, but we saw the nation come together. and the nation has come together to be able to speak to the pain of the people that are in maryland, that are in baltimore and in particular in the city of baltimore. that's what happened. and so i am standing with and supporting mr. mfume, who comes to represent the maryland delegation, to ensure that those funds are forthcoming and that they are not dismissed.

states senate so i wouldn't have people at the back of my town meetings yelling out, how come you guys can't ever get along? i tried to explain to them that we can get along. >> congress often talks about how criminals use shell companies to launder money. the corporate transparency act is an important part of that conversation. but it's only a part of the equation. criminals also use shell companies and muddled corporate structures to secure the tools of the drug trade. today, i'd like to focus on one particularly troubling example. the u.s. registered planes are used and are a critical tool i the cartels to move drugs. before speaking further, i want to show you a brief video of the cartels using these planes to cause chaos, and then i will carry on. so let's see the video if we can. i hope this is not an example that video doesn't work. >> drug cartels use shell companies and government loopholes to get their hands on american planes. that same open market also supplies a key part. you can still see in full there, meaning this plane originated in the united states. >> u.s. planes ca
