nevada." man: we in nevada will not stand for it. [applause] man: a coalition of elected officials, environmentalists and businessmen is waging a guerrilla war to kill a project they believe has been shoved down their throats. reid: the repulsive and mendacious political backstabbing represented by the deal cut against the people of nevada should bring a blush of shame to the face of every member ocongressho has suorted this nuclear waste legislation. well, frankly, i was a new senator, and i thought we were doomed. i didn't know what to do about it. [explosion] man: workers drilled and blasted a starter tunnel. reid: the biggest opening we got was bill clint... al gore, to his credit. they knew what a big deal this was in nevada, so they came out publicly opposed to yucca mountain. that was one reason we were able to stall it as long as we did. raborn: as senator reid gained more and more leadership in the senate, he was also able to use that power to put a stranglehold on the appropriations process and starve the proct of funding.

a child of search light, nevada. he was born into poverty and worked his way up to the highest seat of senate power. serving a decade as this top senate democrat that includes a hugely consequential stint as senate majority leader. in moments we'll hear from people who worked closely with reid at some of the most consequential moments of his career. plus how his legacy is living on today. in an ongoing fight over the filibuster. leigh ann caldwell is joining me from the capitol. also with us, former communications director for senator reid. he had a front row seat to the 2009 affordable care act negotiations and the 2010 midterms. and a former reid staffer, now the national political director of invisible, indivisible, i should say, and former vice president of politics and campaigns for voto latino. they are awaiting former senate majority leader reid's remains to be -- to walked into the rotunda. as we await that, i want to talk about what we're expecting to see today as we await his casket to arrive. in the beginn

they both, harry and mark twain, loved nevada. they both knew how to say things we know to be true about ourselves and our country. for harry, it was this, as he said himself. "i grew up around people with strong values, even if they rarely talked about them. he loved their country, worshiped god, never shunned hard work, never asked for special favors." that's harry. that's america. here is someone mark twain himself would have written about as a defining character in america's story had he known harry. to his staff known as team reid, who lost an incredibly genuine role model, we see you carrying on hmr's legacy. people in nevada, you lost a beloved son, but his spirit will always burn as bright as the deseret -- as the desert sun. for america we lost a giant, plainspoken, honorable, decent, brave, unyielding man. may this be his legacy. i call on each of us to be our best. speak truth from the heart. take up the remaining rounds of harry reid's good fight for the america we all love. what a gift. i mean this from the bottom of

and he never forgot about nevada and working with everybody in nevada, from his seat here as a majority leader. and i remember one time as the attorney general i got a call from a senator here in the united states senate. and this senator said to me, i was just talking to senator reid, there's an issue come up that i would like to focus on, but senator reid said you better call my attorney general first in nevada to make sure that she and the state of nevada are supportive of it. and to this day i now serve with that senator, and i will never forget getting a call from a united states senator as a sitting attorney general to talk about an issue that was important for nrve, because senator reid -- important for nevada, because senator reid knew what was important for him and his state. he also had this uncanny ability to call you at just the right time when you needed support or encouragement, when you needed advice or just someone to economies rate with. we all know we didn't like to stay on the phone long but he knew when you needed him and he would be there. he was a compassionate and

president barack obama delivered remarks at the funeral service for senator harry reid in las vegas nevada senator reid served as majority leader from 2007 -- 2015. he passed away december 28. [silence] >> president and first lady biden, vice president harris and gentlemen. speaker pelosi, shuman, ballard, children and grandchildren, friends and former staff, a great honor to be with you today to pay tribute to my friend, harry reid. to be clear and as chuck mentioned, in his remarks, i suspect harry himself would not have wanted to sit through this thing. harry did not like being center of attention. it made him a little awkward. he was uncomfortable when people said too many nice things about him. as he looks down on us today, harry is going to have to suck it up. few people have done more for this state, this country then this driven, brilliant, sometimes irascible deeply good man in nevada. i first met harry in 2005 after i'd been elected to the senate harry had been elevated to become democratic leader and i was the sole african-american in the senate at the time, kid with a funny nam

the presiding officer: the senator from nevada. ms. rosen: thank you. our democracy is extraordinary because it is built on the bedrock idea that through free and fair elections, the citizens who make up this great country, they have a voice, that each person's vote truly matters, that in america the people have the power. but at this moment our democracy is threatened. republican state legislatures and governors all over the country are writing laws designed to restrict the right to vote, make it harder for tens of millions of eligible citizens to cast their ballot in silence -- and silence the american people's voice in the process. make no mistake, this is an unprecedented coordinated attack to make voting harder for eligible citizens and make it easier to sabotage future elections. in my state of nevada, we bucked that trend when it comes to voting rights, r strengthened the right to vote providing easier access to the ballot box for voters while ensuring fair elections. these measures that governor steve sisolak signed into law include establishing

members of the nevada delegation. i bring greetings from all of our colleagues for someone we all viewed as a great person. i have a great deal i want to say about harry. he was a man of few words and wanted everyone else to be of few words. i am modestly say -- immodestly got hung up by harry reid for 12 years, official working days, sometime saturday and sunday, but even if we had a sustained conversation, problem, this, timing, this. he was that's a sink -- and that -- that since sink. i was thanking you for thanking you for the great job you did in the legislation. i don't want to hear it. click. [laughter] i even said to him when he was announcing his retirement, i want to invite all your friends to a big dinner. i don't want to do it. i want them to sing your praises. i don't want to do it. save the money. feed the poor harry reid -- feed the poor. harry reid yield -- harry reid. . his humility was rooted in his strong values from a humble childhood, rising from searchlights to the spotlight and becoming one of

on saturday, we gathered in nevada for a celebration of harry's life. listening to the leadership of his church, and the adoring comments of his children, it is clear that harry's strength sprang from the family, and the church, and his patriotism from the love of our country and future. and it is fitting that we pay final tribute of harry here in the united states capitol. it is here where he served as a sentinel of the capitol police workforce as he worked through law school, and served three decades representing his beloved home state of nevada including two terms as the house of representatives. chuck always says he was decades in the senate, and it is here that his portrait hangs in these hallowed hall offering a sense of strength and ins pags to amount al. from the highlights of capitol h hill, he and i served as leaders in the respective houses, it allowed md the privilege to watch him defy the odds everyday. indeed, to see him lead and legislate was to see a master at work with a brilliant strategic mind and command of the rules and respect for

. >>> president biden is in nevada for senator harry reid's memorial service while back in washington, the administration tries to paint an optimistic picture of the future. this as they're grappling with the surge in covid cases. let's go to josh lederman standing by at the white house. welcome to you on this saturday. it's been a really busy couple of days for the president. overshadowing all of it is omicron. so what is the president saying about that? >> reporter: alex, president biden is insisting that the u.s. is getting back on its feet despite the ongoing challenges posed by covid-19 and by the omicron variant in particular. the biden administration still racing to get that new test distribution program off the ground to try to address the shortage of tests that gadi was just describing. we have some new details about what the administration is planning to do with that. the first two contracts have now been awarded to try to buy those 500 million tests, and we now know they will be sent out to americans for free through the usps through a website that's still being built, alth

he'd ask me to campaign for an awful lot of nevada democrats, many of whom are here today. i could never say no, although you probably said, oh god, he invited biden into my district? well, i talked to him often during this past election, taking his advice and landra can tell you, coming to his home on more than one occasion and visit and get his advice, and where i should be going in order to win. after we won, one of the things that harry did, which was sort of incongruous with harry, as you've heard today, he sent me a text. i've saved it. it said, i'm so proud, joe. you're my brother. we won. well, it made a big deal to me. it was a big deal to me that he felt that way. if you know harry, he never wrote what he didn't believe. it made me feel good. he gave me a sense of confidence. i felt like he was my brother. i counted on him. and i know so many of you felt that same way about harry as well throughout his career and your great relationship with him. over five decades, we became genuine friends. an irish catholic kid from scranton, pennsylvania, and a latterday saint

donald trump did not win nevada. he did not win any electoral votes from nevada. but these folks proclaimed that he did. and, you know, it's one thing -- it's your blessed right to say something like if you want to on a soapbox on a street corner or to ruin your relatives' otherwise nice turkey dinner by insisting you want to tell them these crazy theories at the thanksgiving dinner. it's fine. but it's something else to put it in writing in a document purposely made to look like official state government document for that document to assert that it is an official state government document and for you to then send it to the national archives of the united states and the united states senate in the hopes that they think this thing you forged might be real. that's different. but that is what these guys did. and it does appear to have been a coordinated effort, and we do not yet know by whom. republicans in multiple states have asserted the trump campaign asked them do something like this. white house chief of staff mark meadows in his production to the january 6th i

first thing, i met him in nevada. we were talking about where he's from and he said, well, i used to have to go out and shoot mad dogs. i thought, what in the hell am i doing here? swear to god. i used to go out and shoot mad gods. i'm thinking, bless me, father, for i have sinned. what's going on? harry lost that general election by less than 600 votes and he never let me forget thinking that i probably cost him those 600 votes. only kidding about that piece. i probably did. he asked me to come back and campaign for him in 1982, he won that time and he won in '86. we'd go on to serve in congress together for more than 30 years. worked together with barack the eight years we were in office and when harry was done in the senate, he was never really done, as all of you from nevada know. he'd ask me to campaign for an awful lot of nevada democrats. many of them are here today. i could never say no. although probably said, oh, god, he invited biden into my district? i talked to him even during this past election. taking h

donald trump did not win nevada. he did not win any electoral votes from nevada. these folks claim that he did. it's one thing, and it wasn't, right to go say something like that if you wanted to on a soapbox on a street corner. and assisting you want to tell you relatives about your weird things about the election. but it is quite something else to put it in writing in a document that is made to look like of official documents. for the document to assert that is an official state document, and then send it to the national archives to united states and the united states senate to say the document you forge might be real. that's. and it does appear to be a coordinated effort. and we don't know by whom. representatives of the trump campaign could've asked them to do something like this. mark meadows and his connection to the january 6th -- seem to be in connection with someone about this scheme, he apparently got this to happen, and this mysterious document that all of the states created the similar forgeries? we don't know. we just know that they did it in nevada,

speaker, i rise today to pay tribute to nevada's longest serving senator, harry reid. who passed away on december 28 with his beloved children, and his devoted wife of 62 years by his side. my condolences and prayers are with them all. with the countless people whose lives he has changed, his friends, staff, and all of those in the great state of nevada. this tribute could be about senator reid being the most consequential senate majority leader in modern history. it could also be about how senator reid was the true embodiment of what it meant to be battle born. a boxer as a young man who never backed down from a good fight for the least among us. it could be about the story of his american dream, rising out of severe poverty in searchlight, nevada. hitchhiking 40 miles to high school. working as a capital police officer to put himself through law school. to becoming one of the most powerful political leaders of our time. it could also be about his legislative accomplishments, the affordable care act which gave millions of americans access to affordable health care. sa

in fact, according to the federal trade commission in 2020 -- commission, in 2020, citizens of nevada over the age of 60 lost more than $36.5 million to scams. it's a lot of money. some of the most common covid 19 scams in nevada related to those involving the creation and distribution of fake vaccine cards and contact tracing scams in which scanners poses. health department officials asking for sensitive personal information such as your medicare or social security number. fortunately, our attorney general, his office has compiled a list of covid 19 related scams and tips on how to avoid falling victim. so people have resources where to check, if they're able, and as elected officials, i believe we have to do as much as we can to get the word out about these scams. ms. greisman, for the record, i want to really clear the air for nevada seniors and get this out everywhere that i can. would a legitimate house department official ever asked for a senior's personal information like their medicare or social security number with the contact tracing for covid 19? >> no. no legitimate entity

now, they took him home last night to nevada, the state that he loved, worked for, always looked out for in every way. as i said, not only the environmental climate, by protecting the beautiful, natural patrimony of nevada, but also the political climate by protecting their status in the presidential election process. he will always be remembered for his goodness. he was about family. he was a person of great faith. and he cared about the future. we will miss him. and so we've talked about voting rights, g.i. bill, covid, harry reid. any questions? yes, ma'am. >> thank you, madam speaker. leader mccarthy says he will not comply with the january 6th select committee. does he have an obligation to cooperate, and should he be subpoenaed, if he refuses to continue to comply? speaker pelosi: yes, i think he has an obligation, as we seek the truth, to help with that. but it's up to the committee, as to what they do next. i see what you see. i mean, they make their decisions. they come forward. and i'm not prepared to say what they do next, but they'll be telling us. >> madam speaker, is it

you mentioned nevada. i have to pronounce it correctly. and it's a challenge. you mentioned the social security administration database. that is a commonplace state governments look to confirm death. the real question is, how often do they do it? do they actually remove them from the voter rolls? the public interest law firm led by christian adams is suing michigan to remove thousands and thousands of dead people from their roles where they have literally attached page after page of obituary and records of folks dying. their local election officials simply refuse to remove them? why is this important. names that are on the roles that are latent, that aren't active, can be used by cheaters to vote not in person. it is one of the biggest problems with security in every state of the country, the lack of the data quality of the voter rolls. it's a tremendous weak point. the social security administration is one place that governments look to identify death. their own departments of vital statistics. typically, there is some expectation that that will be checked fre

western slopes of the sierra nevada. looking at another a winter weather advisory as we're seeing another storm system roll in the snow levels have been rising, though, with started out fairly low at about 1500 feet now at about 3,000 feet or so. but that will continue to rise as a warmer storm system. kind of moves in. but we're not done. we've got this one coming through now you see the rain in the bay area too, as we head toward tomorrow. it may be some lingering showers, especially near the coastline. i don't think it's going to be much then another band comes through late on tuesday night into wednesday to bring another chance of some rain for the bay area bay area. after that, we catch a break on thursday and then this. another a more significant storm system likely to move in on friday and then after that, you know, i think we're going to get a little bit of a break. the storms get close, but you know, in december we start to get the least a week or so of what we almost feel like a fake spring out that we may see

harry reid grew up in the tiny mining town of searchlight, nevada. this politician class, of which i'm part of, likes to try to trace their roots to some humble beginning, some log cabin experience that they've overcome to reach public office. harry didn't have to fake it. he was the third of four boys, born in the great depression to a very poor family. his father was a hard rock miner who battled alcoholism and was tortured by depression. his father took his own life. harry came to the floor so many times i can remember and spoke of this issue of suicide and what it had meant to him as a boy growing up and what it meant to so many people across america. his mother, a sweet, humble woman who helped to feed the family by doing laundry. the family home was a sight to behold. a tin-roofed wooden cabin with no indoor plumbing, no hot water, no telephone. the day harry came into this world was december 2, 1939. the day he had his mark twain moment and learned why he was put there happened 30 years later. against all odds, larry had e-- harry had escaped

let's watch. >> you can't believe nevada. nevada it's not amateurs. it's like the gambit. very roefl. >> very professional. and george soros started this in 2004 with a machine and a plan, and they accomplished it. >> yeah, david, what is going on with your party right now? you have people floating george soros conspiracy theories. i guess it does go to show you the party is heavily influenced by the likes of steve bannon, and there's just no two ways about it right now. >> well, there's a number of normal moderate republicans that are dead set against this. but, you know, when you bring thugs and bullies into it, it makes it very difficult to govern for either side. mr. merchant is clearly supported by the state chairman and was right next to them when they did the false electoral certification that they sent up to the federal government saying that president trump won the state. and make no mistake i supported president trump. i think his policies were fantastic. he did help the economy dramatically, but this is not the way to govern. and, you know, some people are being
