working families deserve better than the portman amendment. don't shortchange those working families tonight and i urge opposition to this very flawed amendment. >> senator portman's amendment wound up past 50-49 but was replaced by another amendment by democratic senator ron wyden of oregon. >> amendment by number. >> number 1378. >> 6 minutes evenly divided. >> the senator from oregon is recognized. >> on this site our goal has been to secure the strongest possible protections for jobless americans that could pass the senate. this amendment has two essential features that make it better for working families and the portman amendment ensures that millions of working families have benefits through september 6th. it protects unemployed workers be hit with a big surprise tax bill with no way to pay for it. republicans have been standing in lockstep against tax relief for americans with a few hundred dollars in the bank after demanding billions in write-offs for wealthy investors. on the other hand democrats led the effort, hundreds of dollars in

portman: in the letter it said only as a last resort. do you think investors were situation occurred? >> there was certainly a last resort situation occurred. sen. portman: why did it take so long to authorize the use of the national guard? in particular, the use of the q fbar? >> if you'd like to go through the timeline, based on why the decision-makers, secretary mccarthy, if we go through the timeline, at 2:22 as mentioned today. at 2:30 he went out and saw miller. at 3:04 secretary miller made the decision to mobilize the entire national guard. that meant that he was calling all of the national guard members that were assigned to the d.c. national guard. at 3:04 that decision was made. between that period of time, secretary mccarthy had asked, he wanted to understand, because of the dynamics. shots have been fired. he wanted to understand the employment of how the national guard was going to be sent. what their missions were going to be. with debbie clearing buildings? perimeter? how would they be equipped? he wanted to understand ho

ranking member portman. senator portman: thank you, chairman. thank you, both, for being here this morning. we talked about covid-19 a minute ago. i just have to interject here. i believe we need new legislation on covid-19, but i think it needs to be far more targeted than we have before us. as an example, the $1.9 trillion is more money than we spend in our annual appropriations bill on the discretionary spending side. is that true, ms. young? how much do we spend? ms. young: about $1.4 trillion. senator portman: so the $1.9 trillion is more than we spend in an entire year on discretionary spending. the question is, where is that money going? some of it's going to good purposes. i think the health care side is important, vaccine, distribution, development. and some that have money right now because less than half we were told that was appropriated at the end of the year has gone out, which is $900 billion. my question to you, will you work with us in the future to make these things more targeted to ensure taxpayer money is well used and with r

reppo portman -- sen. portman: as we talked about, fema plays a very important role, not with just natural disasters we are encountering now, but with the work fema is doing along the border as we deal with the influx of unaccompanied kids and others. you have got 25 years of experience working in emergency management at the state, local and even federal level. i'm glad you had the time with the national guard in colorado as well because you let emergency management units in afghanistan and iraq. that experience is very important. the next fema administrator will lead more than 21,000 staff. it is a big management job. budget is $74 million. we have plenty of natural disasters that need to be coordinated. the covid-19 pandemic has made that more difficult. we just had a historic hurricane season and again, what is going on at the southern border to name important issues. one of the things i want to focus on today is how every state is different. and how we need to be sure that at the fema leadership level,

ranking member portman? >> thank you, mr. chairman. and i know that senator lankford has already asked you guys some pertinent questions, because he was a strong interest in this, given the situation in his state and his expertise on this issue. ohio is one of those states that is negatively impacted, as you know. we have constitutional requirements that may lead us not to be able to use your data, which is just unheard of. so, i guess dr. jarmin, my first question would be, i know that, due to covid-19, you announced the six-month delay. the apportionment data only needed a four-month delay. my question for you, i guess, would be by law, redistricting data should be three months after the apportionment data, but this is five months later. why that delay? >> i think part of that, i was just explaining to senator lankford, was while we were making an effort to make the statutory deadline for the apportionment data, december 31st, we crashed the schedule, put all hands on deck to accomplish that. and that meant that some of the work that

senator portman, who is with us briefly, i understand. sen. portman: thank. and thank you to your husband, willing to come back to public service. we appreciate your willingness to come back again. i enjoyed our conversation. let me follow up on what senator cardin talked to you about. we have spent $3.6 billion in taxpayer money for the triangle countries in the past five years. the results are not impressive. understanding recently some of the natural disasters, hurricanes, added to this. i just got the numbers this morning from last week. 550 kids per day came into the united states, mostly from the northern triangle countries, five or six times more than january, when there were less than 100. by the way, there were 300 in february. we are going up and up. there were 1500 last week, compared to less than 100 in january. a15 times increase. the pushbackers are not being addressed. changes were made and policies to allow people to come and they are responding and traffickers are responding. what i would ask you is how you would do it differently. senator ca

is winning out in that fight because a lot of the traditional conservatives like roy blunt, like rob portman are starting to leave and make their exits. and people who are in favor of trump's style policies, trump style approaches to politics, seem to be on the asendcy in republican politics and seem to be the ones nar raising money, that are getting support, that get to support of the former president who continues to be most popular figure in the party. so i do think that there is this reckoning, there is this civil war within the party and trying to decide what it wants be and what kind of identity it wants to embrace and right now, with the former president continuing to weigh in on politics and not sore of having that honeymoon period after his presidency where he stays behind the scenes is going to put more pressure on traditional conservatives to show that they are onboard with the trump agenda, with the america first agenda that the president embraced during his four years and if they don't, then they will have to decide to leave office. susan d.: toluse, in the seconds we have left,

we talked to senator portman afterwards what he was seeing and about the visit with mayorkas today. here is what he said about what that will entail. listen. >> we'll be looking at some of the issues including this huge problem with unaccompanied kids coming across the border. those numbers have increase even more dramatically. we have a true crisis in detention facilities. there is not enough room for them and appropriate places for them to be held. >> this area we were walking with portman and the border patrol union vice president and people on the other side apparently didn't come over because we were standing here. when we left we found out later they did indeed come. one of the migrants who was apprehended lived in chicago, deported, picked up last night. i asked him a question and here is what he had to say if he was heeding the white house message. listen to this. >> do you think more will come under the new administration? >> >> 635 apprehensions in the el paso sector in the last 24 hours. up 141%. we reached out to d.h.s. to get a statement or details about the secretary's

>> guest: i was not considering senator portman but when i first ran for congress i was not planning to run for congress but was a business guy at the time. speaker bain or surprisingly resigned and someone stopped in my office and suggested that the army business ranger and we laughed and i told my wife about it and she said what did you tell them and i said i laugh because it was crazy and i said no, it's not paid you be great to that. we talked over how great it would be and she said this would be for our country. ultimately i decided to do it but since then when the questions was what will you run for next because so many people go into politics to to go onto the next thing and so it's flattering and humbling to have my income and i'm energized and what were working on to take majority back in the house but when senate brown won the senate race in 2018 i said if i'm still doing this i will take a look because i don't think he's i ben a good senator in terms of representing the views of ohio voters but i was not excited expecting senator portman to resign. i have taken a look at t

and i also thank our rankings blunt and portman. we have done every part of this hearing together and agreed on witnesses and agreed on how we were going to proceed. we felt that was a very, very poornt -- this is a political environment enough without politicizing this. and we have tried our best to be constructive. now we've had two hearings, and we all know -- we've had some consensus on many things, we've had consensus from our witnesses that there is significant evidence that there was an element of this that was planned and coordinated involving white supremacists and violent extremists. people intent on doing damage on not only just to this building as we are reminded as we stood on the inaugural stage with now-president biden, with spilled spray paint at the bottom of the columns and still surrounded by what had just happened there only two weeks before. they were intent not just on destroying the physical building that we work in but also our democracy that brought us to that moment. and as an aside, i really was proud of t

ohio senator rob portman says it's because migrants are hearing a different message. >> what they're hearing from the new administration is were going to stop deportations 400 days, were going to stop the remaining mexico program. >> we were able to ride along. we saw quite a lot of action tonight. what did you take away? >> i saw tonight what's happening all over this quarter, they're more and more people coming. >> vice president of the national border patrol council hopes portman will convince congress for more help. >> the agents are undermanned, putting their lives on the line each and every day, and we need more personnel. >> some feel the biden administration is doing enough. >> i think the administration is pulling this thing under control. >> say the situation is far from under control. >> it is a total disaster. >> greg abbott is calling out the administration for the handling of the crisis during the middle of a pandemic. >> there is no viable usable running water at the location in midland. on top of that, more than 10% of the migrants at the midland location have now tes

we talked with portman afterwards, here's some of what he said. listen to this. >> we also talked to some of the people who they apprehended, and they all told me the same thing which is they can make a lot more money here in this country than they can back home. that's understandable. but we have a legal system to be able to do that. that increase is something we've got to deal with. we've got to change some of the rules, but also we've got to help the border patrol to do their job. >> reporter: and riding along with portman gave us an opportunity to talk to migrants, something that dhs has been blocking access for for the ride-alongs officially with the border patrol. here's what one of the migrants said about whether or not he's heeding the white house message not to cop. watch this. do you think more will come under the new administration? >> not going to stop. ever. not going to stop. [laughter] it's not going to stop. >> reporter: now everyone's wondering because we know that dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas was making a surprise visit here.

. >> ranking member portman, you're recognized for your questions. >> thank you, chairman peters. thanks to our witnesses. general walker, i'm going to continue to talk about your recollection, if you don't mind. this morning you testified you received this letter from secretary mccarthy on january 5th, so just the day before the attack on the capitol. in that letter, did secretary mccarthy prohibit you from employing the national guard's quick reaction force without his authorization? >> i have the letter in front of me. his letter does not, but it is the secretary of defense that says i have to use it as a last resort. the secretary of the army told me -- i have the letter -- that i could not use the quick reaction force -- i'll just read it. i withhold authority to approve employment of the district of columbia national guard quick reaction force and will do so only as a last resort in response to a request from an appropriate civil authority. i will require a concept of operation prior to authorizing employment of a quick reaction force. a quick reaction force normally is a co

the departures of richard burr, pat toomey, rob portman and now roy blunt. that's an exodus of what we called the governing wing or the legislating wing of the republican party, the senators that would still try to cut a deal even if they didn't like what was happening. and it wasn't long before president trump urged supporters to donate to him over the so called republicans in name only and at this point the deem identified as rinos in the republican party are anybody that donald trump doesn't like. it may -- any republican that's hesitant about fully embracing trump and trumpism. former missouri governor greitens says he may -- in ohio former state treasurer and trump loyalist josh mandel became the first republican to enter the race in portman's seat and he's fighting to be the most trump supporting candidate and in north carolina trump's name nay be on the ballot, trump's daughter-in-law is running. how does the party govern without its governing wing? where is this party headed? we're going to take a closer look at all of this when we come back. their o

at the top is so right, mitch mcconnell is losing a lot of allies -- roy blunt, richard shelby, rob portman, potentially chuck grassley, who is 87 years old, pat toomey also, as you're showing right there, is a close ally of mitch mcconnell's as well in some cases. so, you just have -- that's -- i mean, in a chamber of only 50 republicans at the moment and 100 lawmakers, about you lose five, that's a pretty big punch. i'm not saying that mitch mcconnell's in any danger, but this is looking like the marsha blackburn/josh hawley senate more than the mitch mcconnell senate at the moment. >> yeah. i mean, it's really -- i don't think -- it's hard to overstate the significance of the shift, to have all of these members on their way out while their replacements coming in just have completely different tone and tenor and approach to the job. i think it's really going to change the way things are done. jake, let's talk for a second about the covid relief package. the vote seems to be sliding by a day as they try to get the text together for it. do you see any challenges on the horizon getting this

senator portman telling me in that interview alejandro mayorkas will make a trip to el paso. and when the secretary gets here, this sector, it is up 230%, in the first 5 months of 202020, please. steve: it is a mess down there. earlier in the show according to the associated press the us government has 14,000 kids in custody without their parents and a lot are at facilities where they are sleeping on the floor, going to bed hungry and not allowed to go outside for days. pete: held for a week longer than supposed to. the single men trying to pop the border, spending resources with kids, not able to apprehend people. steve: all the resources are being diverged. let's bring in house minority leader kevin mccarthy. good morning to you. you have a unique point of view because you are on the border and asked the president for a meeting to discuss it but he doesn't want to discuss it because he knows it is a problem and once let the press take pictures of these because he knows it is a problem. we all know it is a problem. >> reporter: interesting to watch the press secretary yester

i like to follow up on what senator portman said. i agree with his concerns. but i might ask a question from the appropriations committee. time is limited so these are yes or no answers. the appropriations committee always working in a bipartisan fashion to get money to the police. mr. t12, the appropriations had met your request for salaries the fiscal year is that not correct? >> yes sir. >> on the appropriations committee with your request for salaries and operating expenses during the fiscal year is that correct? i cannot hear an answer. >> so with those operating expenses during the fiscal year to increase your salary is that correct? >> yes. that is correct. >> that is correct. >> thank you very much. i have to think that with the resources to deploy the people that we were supposed to i look at those that would protect the capital and we saw this is a violent and planned and organized attack against the united states government by domestic terrorist they will be prosecuted as fully as they can but when we see people encouraging them including the former

portman: madam president? the presiding officer: the junior nor from ohio. mr. portman: madam president, i have worked with my colleague from pennsylvania on some of these home care options, and i think it's a very positive thing. in fact, it savings a the although of cost for the system -- it saves a lot of cost for the system, but the question is, what's is doing in a covid relief bill? having been involved on five different covid relief packages over the last year, i am just so discouraged that we can't sit down as republicans and democrats alike and work out a targeted, focused bill on covid. and, by the way, then move on to other things, including health care reform and issues that have traditionally been bipartisan, like infrastructure, retirement security, and dealing with china and supply chain issues. but this is not the way to start. we are looking at a $1.9 trillion package, the second largest appropriation every written by congress -- the first one went through last year -- and no input, virtually no input from anybody on our side of the aisle becaus

i want to thank senators portman and sasse and cortez for the advancing of this important bill. mr. chairman, i would like request unanimous con sent to insert in the hearing record a letterll of support for this bil from mr. steef ferguson who is ceort of a medical device in bloomington, indiana, and from mike of bosch north america and they have thrive facility in albia -- >> without objection to order. >> mr. jennings since 1954, topanies have been able deduct their r&d expendtures as they incur them. but beginning in 2022, as i know is mentioned erlg earlier companies required to spread out their deductions over a number of years. rather than deduct them all in the current year, if the united states doesn't preserve immediate expensing, it will becomeit one of only two countrs in the industrialized world the other being belgium that require the r inwardization of r&d expenses to continue america global leadership we have to ensure that next generation of cars, computers, med devices and other cutting edge technologies are developed and produced here in the united states. so mr.

little steps and they come right over, last night we got an exclusive right along with senator rob portman getting a tour from the national council, we were out in this area and we saw more than 25 apprehensions, quite a lot of action because these folks didn't want to surrender, they were running on senator portman and i got a chance to talk to some of the migrants and learn how difficult their task is in their journey and why they are coming, listen. eco-that's in mexico. >> you know, they punch you. it's pretty tough. out here at these borders, they so when they punch you the bruises don't show up. >> thanks, griff. what's it like for a law enforcement on the ground at the border, national border patrol council, vice president joins me now and by the way we have reached out to homeland security, we have not heard back yet. chris? how are the agents handling this surge? >> you know, we are woefully understrength at many stations, we are seeing huge, huge numbers, larger numbers than i've ever seen and it's very difficult dealing with what we've got going on right now. >> it just seems im

manchin was considering supporting a republican alternative to this provision that was offered up by rob portman of ohio. that would have cut off the benefits through july at only $300 a week and also, not provide that tax credit. so this appears to be enough for manchin to cut off those benefits a little less than a month earlier than what democrats had originally intended but this was a long day, john, of a lot of anxiety for democrats that were concerned that they were not going to be able to cut this deal with manchin, and he was single handedly holding this process up. republicans attacked democrats earlier in the day saying they did not want this to be a bipartisan plan and holding up the whole process. keep in mind, john, we haven't begun the process known as voter-rama necessary through the reconciliation package where senators offer amendments on the floor to be voted on. that could go on for several hours. we're still a long way away from finish line on this covid relief package but this is a significant development is democrats have the votes they need to push this measure forward. >>

host: rob portman made the case for a bipartisan bill yesterday on the sunday shows. [video clip] >> covid relief has never been a partisan issue. over the last year, we have passed five bills with overwhelming bipartisan margins. there are a bunch of us republicans who went to see the president a few weeks ago and said, let's negotiate. we have done this five times before, we can do it again. this is not like texas or health care, this is covid relief. it does not fit in reconciliation because it has to be directly related to the budget, to revenues or spending, which is why the minimum wage got knocked out. i have not figured it out yet, but i think what he should do is what you did in the clinton administration is to start off with more bipartisan measures so that we don't poison the well's and we can continue to work together. in this case, it would be very easy to get republican support for a covid relief package. host: there is the ideal. what is the reality? guest: if you talk to folks in the white house, they would say that they don't think they can get the 10

you are recognized for your questions. >> thank you very much, chair man peters and ranking member portman. i want to thank the witnesses not only for appearing today to talk about this important national security issue, but for your service. i appreciate it very much. i want to focus on discrete areas where i think we need to do more to improve the cybersecurity of our nation. first question is to the acting director. acting director wales you testified at a hearing last week that cisa's continuous diagnostics mitigation program or cdm is the foundation upon which we can build further capabilities to secure the federal network and be able to detect similar solar wind. it's clear we need to improve this program and build additional layers of protection on top of it, but before we can make those much-needed enhancements, we need to be fully implemented in the first place. that's why senator cornyn and i introduced a bill asked congress to codify the cdm. however, last august a report issued by the government accountability office found that some agencies were encountering problems deploying

pat toomey, roy blunt, rob portman. people who knew it early in the republican party, went along, enabled him and now think i don't want to stay. is that courageous, incidentally? just not staying and leaving and lethd some trump supporting candidate probably win those primaries and in some cases perhaps win the seats. >> you're right. it does go to caroline's point. it goes to what our parents taught us, that phrase "you knew better." caroline and bill are staying with us while we just slip in a break here. coming up, as trump continues to push the big lie, lawmakers in 43 states are pushing to limit voting rights. well, at least the right of some americans to cast their vote. we'll talk about that when we come back. did you know the source of odor in your home... ...could be all your soft surfaces? odors get trapped in your home's fabrics and resurface over time. febreze fabric refresher eliminates odors. its water-based formula safely penetrates fabrics where odors hide. spray it on your rugs, your curtains, your fur

that would do more than anything else we're talking about. >> republican senator rob portman of ohio. >> appreciate it. >> in the pandemic today, why a review board is calling astrazeneca's information outdated and incomplete. stay with us. we didn't stop at computers. we didn't stop at storage or cloud. we kept going. working with our customers to enable the kind of technology that can guide an astronaut back to safety. and help make a hospital come to you, instead of you going to it. so when it comes to your business, you know we'll stop at nothing. like you, my hands are everything to me. but i was diagnosed with dupuytren's contracture. and it got to the point where things i took for granted got tougher to do. thought surgery was my only option. turns out i was wrong. so when a hand specialist told me about nonsurgical treatments, it was a total game changer. like you, my hands have a lot more to do. learn more at factsonhand.com today. ♪ if you have moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla i

now there's a republican amendment offered by rob portman would end those benefits even earlier in july and republican senators are telling reporters, manchin is with them on their amendment. manchin and his office are not saying anything. and that vote on the minimum wage which is really kind of the vehicle that we're dealing with right now, has remained open while democrats try to figure out how to nail down this unemployment insurance portion of the bill before they can go forward on anything else. we are pretty well and good stuck here on the hill. >> to that point, is it possible we could see a compromise on a smaller minimum wage increase? not the $15 one? >> i think it is popular in the future but not on this bill. remember the parliamentarian is the one who said deal with the minimum wage in this context doesn't fit reconciliation rules. there are republican plans out there to raise the minimum wage, by smaller amounts that you could see it for a compromise down the road. progressives say $15 an hour is already a compromise. so that's the kind of thing we could find ourselves fi

you were talking to senator portman on the other side. how much pressure were you under and what did president biden have to say to you? >> jake, on that, president biden and i have been friends. i have the most respect. i think he is the right person, the right place, at the right time. our conversations have always been cordial. the only thing he has ever said, joe, never go against your convictions. always do what you think is right. and i always appreciate that encouragement and we work very well together. working with all of my other friends back and forth, jake, you know, sometimes can be challenging but the bottom line is, that is what it's about, negotiations. i work with my republican friends. i work with my democrat caucus and my friends. we try to find that middle. with that, sometimes it gets a little frustrating at times but the bottom line is at the end result we got one tremendous piece of legislation. this bill, jake, does an awful lot for a long period of time. it basically goes out to 2024 and we are getting help to ever
