>>> WELCOME BACK. ON THURSDAY I ATTENDED JOYOUS
PERSISTENCE CONFERENCE FOR WOMEN ACTIVISTS IN SAN FRANCISCO WHERE
I HAD A CHANCE TO DO A 40-MINUTE Q&A WITH SENATOR ELIZABETH
WARREN. IT WAS A WIDE RANGING
CONVERSATION THAT COVERED MANY TOPICS BUT NONE MORE IMPORTANT
THAN SENATE'S INACTION ON HOLDING DONALD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE
FOR HIS TIES TO RUSSIA. TAKE A LOOK.
>> THE RUSSIA INFILTRATION INTO THE ELECTION GETS MORE ALARMING
EVERY DAY. IT IS REALLY SHOCKING THE EXTENT
TO WHICH THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE CONTACT WITH PEOPLE NOW IN
GOVERNMENT OR WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD THEY NOT BEEN OUT.
IS THERE BEHIND THE SCENES A LEVEL OF ALARM EQUAL TO THE
LEVEL OF OUTRAGE OUTSIDE THE SENATE CHAMBER?
[ APPLAUSE ] >> NO.
NO. NO.
SO LOOK, I'M WITH YOU, THERE IS NOT THE LEVEL OF ALARM, THERE IS
NOT THE LEVEL OF PUSHBACK. THERE'S NOT THE LEVEL OF WHAT'S
GOING ON HERE. IT'S NOT HAPPENING.
THIS REALLY HAS ME SCARED. THINK ABOUT -- LET'S TALK ABOUT
IT FOR A S.E.C. WHY NOT?
HANG ON. SO JUST THINK ABOUT JUST A FEW
OF THE THINGS WE KNOW, RIGHT? OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES ACROSS
THE BOARD HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE RUSSIANS HACKED INTO
AMERICAN SYSTEMS IN ORDER TO INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF THE
2016 ELECTION. THIS IS NOT DEBATABLE.
NO IS NOT ALTERNATIVE FACTS. THIS IS KNOWN.
THERE IS LOTS OF EVIDENCE ON THIS.
THEY DON'T WANT TO MAKE THE EVIDENCE PUBLIC BUT THEY WILL
MAKE IT PUBLIC TO EVERY REPRESENTATIVE AND EVERY SENATOR
AND A PRESIDENT, OR THAT PRESIDENT INTERESTED IN SEEING
IT, RIGHT, SO THE INFORMATION THERE.
THIS PART WE KNOW FOR SURE. WE KNOW THAT HIGH OFFICIALS IN
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAVE HAD TO RESIGN BECAUSE OF THEIR
DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE RUSSIANS.
WE ALSO KNOW OUT OF THE MOUTH OF DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF THAT HE
SAID HE WANTED TO -- HE WAS FIRING FBI DIRECTOR COMEY, AT
LEAST IN PART, BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SHUT DOWN THAT INVESTIGATION
INTO THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA, THE UNITED STATES -- THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND TRUMP HIMSELF.
NOW, IF I HAD DESCRIBED THOSE THREE FACTS TO YOU A YEAR AGO,
DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO USE THE NAME OF THE PRESIDENT, ANY PRESIDENT,
LIKE PRESIDENT CLINTON OR SOME OTHER PRESIDENT, RIGHT, YOU
WOULD HAVE SAID THIS WOULD NOT BE PARTISAN.
THERE WOULD BE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ALL OVER THIS.
THEY WOULD BE ALL OVER THIS. AND INSTEAD WE HAVE A LOT OF
REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE JUST NOT BEEN WILLING TO STEP UP TO THE
PLATE. IN FACT, I WANT YOU TO WATCH
WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE DOING. WE'VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE ARE DOING AS WELL.
RIGHT NOW, THEY HAVE GOT A PRESIDENT WHO WILL SIGN OFF ON
PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING THEY CAN GET ORGANIZED AND GET THROUGH.
THAT MEANS THEY ARE OUT THERE DOING TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS ON
STEROIDS. THEY ARE OUT THERE ROLLING BACK
THE REGULATIONS AND TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO HELP THAT
THIN SLICE AT THE TOP, AND THEY ARE DOING IT.
SO JUST LOOK AT THE FIRST WEEKS AFTER DONALD TRUMP WAS SWORN IN
AND WHAT HAPPENS. SO XIONG PASSES A BILL AND TRUMP
SIGNS OFF TO MAKE IT HE'SIOR FOR FEDERAL CONTRACTORS TO RECEIVE
EMPLOYEES' WAGES. STAYS RIGHT UNDER THE RADAR
SCREEN. MAKES IT EASIER FOR COMPANIES
THAT KILL OR MAIM THEIR EMPLOYEES, RIGHT, TO BE ABLE TO
HIDE THAT FACT. ONE AFTER ANOTHER, THEY KEEP
GOES THROUGH ROLLING BACK REGULATIONS.
REGULTIONS ON THE SILICA DUST PEOPLE BREATHE.
EVERY TIME HOW CAN WE HELP OUT CORPORATE AMERICA AT THE COST OF
WORKING AMERICA AND THEY ARE PUSHING THOSE THINGS THROUGH.
>> WHEN YOU'RE IN THE CHAMBER, WHAT ARE THEY SAYING TO JUSTIFY
IT. >> THEY DON'T.
THIS IS THE PART THAT FRUSTRATES ME IN SOME WAYS.
WELL, I CAN'T PICK THE PART THAT FRUSTRATES ME THE MOST.
I WILL USE THAT PHRASE LIKE 94 TIMES IN THE NEXT 10 MINUTES.
THIS ONE IS FRUSTRATING. WE STAND UP -- I DID THIS, STOOD
UP ON EVERY ONE OF THESE BILLS. I STAND UP AND TALK ABOUT THEM,
FIGHT ABOUT THEM. AND OFTEN IT'S IN AN EMPTY
CHAMBER. IF THIS IS A REPUBLICAN, THERE'S
ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE REPUBLICAN BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO SIT IN THE
CHAIR WHEN WE'RE IN SESSION. I'LL LOOK AT THE REPUBLICAN, AND
THE REPUBLICAN IS LIKE -- NOBODY ENGAGES.
I DO ASK THIS QUESTION. I ASKED, OH, WHAT WAS THE VERY
FIRST THING WE PASSED HERE. THE VERY FIRST ONE WAS WE HAD
WORKED ON A REGULATION FOR YEARS.
GOING BACK TO 2010, BIPARTISAN, INTRODUCED BY A REPUBLICAN BACK
THEN THAT SAID BASICALLY THE SHORT VERSION WAS THE AMERICAN
CORPORATIONS THAT DO BUSINESS IN THE EXTRACTION INDUSTRY, OIL AND
DIAMONDS, HAVE TO REVEAL THE PAYMENTS THEY MAKE TO FOREIGN
GOVERNMENTS. EVERYBODY IN HERE GET WHAT
THAT'S REALLY ABOUT? RIGHT, REX TILLERSON, I'VE HEARD
THAT NAME, SAID AT THE TIME, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.
CAN'T DO THAT. IF YOU DO, THAT WE WON'T BE ABLE
TO DO BUSINESS IN RUSSIA. THINK ABOUT THAT.
AND SO WE FINALLY GET THIS REGULATION THROUGH THAT SAYS --
DOESN'T SAY THEY CAN'T DO IT. ALL IT SAYS IS YOU'VE GOT TO BE
PUBLIC ABOUT IT. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TELL,
WHICH FRANKLY MEANS THE LOCALS WILL KNOW ABOUT IT, AND THE REST
OF THE WORLD COMMUNITY WILL KNOW ABOUT IT.
WHAT HAPPENED? ONE OF THE FIRST BILLS WE DO
JUST ROLLS THAT BACK SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO KEEP THOSE PAYMENTS
SECRET. I STILL REMEMBER GOING TO THE
FLOOR TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE BILL DID AND TO SAY, REALLY, IS
THIS WHO WE'VE BECOME AS A COUNTRY?
CAN JUST ONE REPUBLICAN COME DOWN HERE AND GIVE ME A
JUSTIFICATION WHY WE SHOULD PERMIT AMERICAN CORPORATIONS TO
GO EXTRACT FROM THESE COMPANIES AND TO BE ABLE TO MAKE PAYMENTS
THEY WANT TO KEEP SECRET. JUST SAY IT WHAT IT IS THAT'S
DOING ON. THE ANSWER IS TOTAL SILENCE.
THAT'S BEEN TRUE ON EVERY ONE OF THESE REGULATIONS.
THIS HAS BEEN TRUE WITH THIS LATEST JUDICIAL APPOINTMENT.
THIS IS TRUE OVER AND OVER. IT IS WE DON'T HAVE TO ENGAGE
WITH YOU ANYMORE. WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A DEBATE
ABOUT THIS. WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT HOW
THIS WILL HAPPEN. WE HAVE GOT THE VOTES, THE
REPUBLICANS HAVE SAID. REPUBLICANS ARE JUST DOING TO
ROLL THIS STUFF THROUGH. THIS IS WHY I COME BACK TO THE
IMPORTANCE OF THE DAY AFTER THE INAUGURATION, THE IMPORTANCE OF
THE SCIENCE MARCH. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FACT WE
TOOK ON THE TO THE AIRPORTS WHEN DONALD TRUMP PUT IN PLACE A
MUSLIM BAN. IN BOSTON AT LEAST WE DID OUR
RALLY THE NEXT WEEK. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS IS TO SAY
WE DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS. WE DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS IN THE
UNITED STATES SENATE. WE DON'T HAVE NUMBERS IN HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES. WE HAVE A LOT THAT CAN HAPPEN
BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER '18. I WANT EVERYBODY JAZZED AND
READY TO GO AND VOTE IN 2018 BUT WE'VE GOT TO FIGHT THESE FIGHTS
NOW. THE ONLY THING WE'VE GOT, THE
ONLY THING WE'VE GOT IS YOUR VOICES TO HELP BACK US UP ON
THIS. THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT.
