  • Gaetz vs. Garland: Clues for What House Judiciary Oversight Hearings Sound Like

    Gaetz vs. Garland: Clues for What House Judiciary Oversight Hearings Sound Like
    Nov 21 2024
    President-elect Trump wants former Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz to head the Justice Department. If Matt Gaetz does become Attorney General – the 87th Attorney General in U.S. history -- he’d likely appear before the House Judiciary Committee for oversight hearings. What would that sound like? It might go something like this…. GAETZ: And meanwhile, the judge is making money on it. The judge is making money on it -- or the judge's family is making money on it for stuff that you yourself wouldn't do. You know, no one's going to buy this. No one's going to believe it. It's going to create great disruption. And I am saddened by it because, like you, I have given my life to the law. I care deeply about the law. And I think that the lawfare we've seen against President Trump will do great damage well beyond our time in public service. I see my time's expired, I yield back. JORDAN: Ranking member is recognized for five minutes. NADLER: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Attorney General, do you want to respond to anything in Mr. Gaetz’s tirade? That was a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing for the Department of Justice. … June 4, 2024 … Matt Gaetz – followed by committee chairman Jim Jordan -- followed by ranking member Jerry Nadler … In the latest episode of C-SPAN’s podcast “The Weekly” – we look back at House Judiciary Committee hearings during the Biden Administration … when Matt Gaetz was asking questions of Attorney General Merrick Garland. Will Democratic questions sound the same when Attorney General Matt Gaetz is testifying? Listen to “The Weekly” for some clues. Find C-SPAN’s “The Weekly” wherever you get podcasts.

  • “Miracle”: Presidents Celebrate Peaceful Transfer of Power

    “Miracle”: Presidents Celebrate Peaceful Transfer of Power
    Nov 14 2024
    The peaceful transfer of power. It’s something outgoing presidents traditionally talk about when turning over the White House to an incoming president … Like Bill Clinton in 2001 – his final radio address: “The peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next, from one party to another, may confound others around the globe. But it reflects the underlying strength of our Constitution and rule of law.” And George H.W. Bush in 1992 – after he lost re-election to Bill Clinton: “ I can think of nothing other to say than say let's finish this job with style. Let's get the job done, cooperate fully with the new administration. The Government goes on, as well it should, and we will support the new President and give him every chance to lead this country into greater heights.” What have other presidents said about the peaceful transfer of power? Which president – in his Inaugural address – called the peaceful transfer of power a “miracle”? And how many former, current, and incoming presidents once gathered in the Oval Office – to assure a peaceful transfer of power -- and when was that historic event? All these answers .. and a whole lot more … in the latest episode of C-SPAN’s podcast “The Weekly.” Find C-SPAN’s “The Weekly” wherever you get podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.
