Scott Calls for Hearing and Investigation into Release of $6 Billion to Iran
Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, released the following statement after the attack on Israel, calling for the Senate Banking Committee to hold a hearing with Secretary Janet Yellen and for a Senate investigation into the release of $6 billion to Iran:
“In the face of evil, we must use every tool, weapon, and economic sanction available to provide for our nation's security and the security of Israel.
“As the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee with direct jurisdiction over our economic national security tools, including sanctions, I will push for Chairman Brown to invite and urge Treasury Secretary Yellen to testify as soon as possible on the $6 billion recently transferred to Iran and any sanctions gaps we might have with respect to Iran.
“The Senate should also investigate what led the Biden administration to allow a transfer of $6 billion to Iran and how it could expect Iran to not use that money to continue to fuel terrorism. The American people and Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East, deserve transparency and answers.
“We should be signaling strength - not leniency - when it comes to Iran. That’s why now is the time to pass my Solidify Iran Sanctions Act and send the message that Iran should not expect U.S. sanctions to lapse.
“The unprecedented attack on Israel by Hamas - a U.S. designated terrorist organization - warrants the strongest response encompassing both military assistance and the most stringent economic sanctions. I look forward to thoroughly examining additional areas where we can hold these Iranian backed terrorist organizations accountable.”
BACKGROUND
Ranking Member Scott's calls for rigorous congressional oversight mark a continuation of his commitment to applying pressure on the Iranian regime and holding the Biden administration accountable.
On August 18, Ranking Member Scott demanded answers from the Biden administration after it announced the release of $6 billion to Iran. In the letter, the Ranking Member and his colleagues warned that the funds would “enable the Iranian regime to increase its destabilizing activities” and would “serve to encourage additional hostage taking for financial or political gain.”
Earlier this year, Ranking Member Scott introduced the Solidify Iran Sanctions Act to cement the Iran Sanctions Act. The Iran Sanctions Act imposes sanctions that restrict funding for Iran’s energy sector, curtailing the regime’s ability to finance terrorism and develop its nuclear program. Ranking Member Scott’s bill removes the expiration date of these sanctions and makes them permanent - demonstrating America’s unwavering commitment to forcefully answering Iran’s destabilizing actions.
In addition to serving as the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Senator Scott serves as a senior member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, which has jurisdiction over the State Department.

Wow is that so hard for Democrats smh
Now there's no border crisis this isn't a real thing Republicans are just a bunch of jokes and wasting everyone's time with this infantile hissy fit.
Republicans did not earn enough of a majority of votes from we the people to walk around arrogantly demanding things like that they can either take the bill they've been offered and sign it or admit that this isn't a real crisis and that they don't actually care about this issue. Which is the conclusion that I am already invariably fixed to and can't be changed off of now.
Notice Democrats had no faith in the border bill...they couldnt get it passed in the senate much less the house and already are looking to launder money in a new bill now.
Compromise is how they get things done. You get some of what you want and so do I. That is why bills are not separated. I'd rather get something for then zero.
I noticed that people who have never even had a street fight always look for war..
Corn Pop was a bad dude.
Hhh😂
I have a son in the service, it breaks my soul to say shut the government down, it has to be done.
Johnson has mastered the art of talking a lot without saying anything meaningful
He went to Trump University and mastered in disappearing facts and documents.
Smooth talking operater.
Mike Johnson is the poster boy for White Evangelical politics.
Don't trust him as far as you could throw him with your finger.
Gym Jordan is #1 in that category but MAGA Mike is a close second for sure
IGuess that makes a good politician😊
It's too bad that 30% of the country doesn't watch real news or at least explore different news outlets.
They don't understand the words spoken, they believe the ones that look pretty and get their information from 🦄 weird sources.
I wouldnt call this real news. She did nothing but gas lighting.
NBC news is real news outlet huh 😂😂
@youngmoney6748 Meanwhile, FOX and Newsmax have the latest on Taylor Swift the Psyop. You better go check on the latest conspiracy. 😂😂😂 Yep. NBC is doing real news.
Elitist media has been spewing propaganda since Obama made it legal during his term.
I love stand alone bills. Our politicians cant stuff them with special interest pork.
It's a laundering scheme
Ok put Boarder to a stand alone vote.
They tried that sentnate would not allow it
Zero crossings at our borders mr speaker.
According to interviews of Trumps people, it's pretty close. Abbott's been blowing it out of proportion.
@@davidwilliams1086 Which trump people are you talking about?? The border has nothing close to what Abbott and the republicans are saying.
Zero crossing and nobody to help farmers harvest their food.
Mexico is our biggest trading partner. You would crush the US economy.
What happened to legal immigration? You're opposed to that too? Wanna be like North Korea?
I trust Mike Johnson with *nothing*
That is still too much.
Self-preservation.
I wouldn't trust Mike judging a pie eating contest
TRUST BIDEN WITH A LAPTOP AND CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS, AND OUR MILITARY EQUIPMENT IN AFGHANISTAN.
Seems a lot of Republicans love Putin that's the message I hear.
Christin, are you blockheaded? Johnson is giving a very detailed and cogent response to every question, and it sounds like you can't even hear him.
Christin is definetly a blockhead. Just listen and try to understand that the majority of Americans agree with him. Stop this invasion!
Total partisan hack. If you can tell she is taking a side, she is not a real journalist. She is not listening to a thing he is saying, merely waiting for a chance to jump in and attack. I'm sad we have so many Americans being gaslighted by the MSM.
He is repeating the exact same answer for every question that was obviously rehearsed. Yet it clearly contradict the obvious facts which also includes the situation isn't any worst than it was under DJT. He couldn't negotiate the bill that's on the table now even if he tried yet it's being ignored.
Why was that bill collecting dust when it should have been a priority fier that person..
Yeah like Kevin didn't even put it to Senate
Blah. Blah. Blah. Complain but don't commit.
How can republicans campaign on immigration if they fix it??
@@mile_high_topher Simple. By pretending they fixed it.

This guy is a joke
He's walking away from the biggest border security bill I've seen in my lifetime specifically to avoid funding Ukraine. It's embarrassing.
@@Omni0404 Republicans are getting almost everything they want in this bill. They'll pay for it in November if they pass this up.
@@Omni0404 allowing 5000 illeagals in every single day in this bill is a joke. and so are you for being asleep to whats really going on
Please point the obvious of 9M illegal crossing, fentanyl deaths, human trafficking as result to open borders of Biden and democrats versus lowest from previous administration and tell me whats wrong. It doesnt need funding, it need proven policies to be activated back
Ukraine got their money and still taking an L
America first .....children .....vets ......old people .... everybody else
This Senate proposed bill should be called the Welcome to the Insane Asylum bill it's crazy to let 5000 people per day illegally coming into our country 365 X 5000 = 1,825,000 million more people in with no way to support them selves. Who is going to pay for them. One guess !
Read the bill. You are echoing maga talking points. The people would be detained. More detainees, the less likely others will be so stupid to break the law...

separate the issues into separate bills or forget it money to Texas should be 1000 times anything going to New York and or Ukraine

The republicans in the Senate won't pass his bill but he keeps trying to put it on Biden !
Was it or has it ever been this bad before Biden? No!
Why can't the babbling propaganda pusher just admit she's not going to listen to the facts? Biden only needs to go back to the policies of a real president.
@@darrenmosteller1809only 1 thing Joe didn't get to yet .Hes been amazing . & I thank any bi partisan support that has helped. you're nuts
They will pass it. Democrat's want more voters even if they have to import them. Anyone who votes for this is a traitor.

I wouldn't either until I knew what it said. Only one thing needs to be in this Bill and that is the border.
Don’t sign it, Biden can shut the border down right now. Or let BP use the laws we already have. No more tax money going to foreign countries. Help the homeless and poor neighborhoods here first. We need single issue bills not ones filled with Dem and Rino pet peeve projects.
OMG, keep telling the politicians how to do their jobs from CZcams comments, it will eventually work.
Will you put it up for a vote on the floor ….. how many times should she have to ask you … answer the question and stop playing with your Johnson
Johnson says he is a Christian, but his actions and lies show different.🤔🤔🤔🤭
If he was he would have burst into flames by now.
If you do not have nail scars in your hands, then you are not in a position to judge anyone.
These are the type of Christians that believe its okay to lie if its a means to an end.
🐃💩! Conservatives and republicans do it ALL THE TIME.
Praise the Lord, the reason Trump and his supporters are attacking to overthrow the government is due to disinformation, in turn to big Business, which is your gift from God.
Rightly dividing the word
The word (Judge) is often used in spreading disinformation, or not have you make a sound decision about many things. Now here is God love to you. Observe all things and the impact that it can have on your life. The word Judge, and Observe, define rightly dividing the word.
Disinformation is big Business, it’s why God said, my people’s are destroyed for lack of knowledge. For these reason, you must read, study, your Bible daily, search the scriptures when not in agreement, also pray. May you be blessed in seeking God love. You can do this with your Strong’s E Concordance, and King James Bible, the two most powerful books to teach you about life.
The funny thing is I've heard the exact same thing at every interview he's done on ALL networks
Democrats or Republican that would vote for this bill be looking for a new job soon
Mike Johnson's face is beet red!
He'd say it's AI.😂
So are your butt cheeks.
That man is in Vladimir Putin's pocket.
I wonder if Czar Vladimir has dirt on him? WAIT, what am I talking about? Of course he does!!!!
how?
I would think Joe Biden is the pocket of someone bad that he brought in 10 million immigrants when we don't even have homes for our own people
@@lawrencehawkins7198 the only thing VP has from America is what the democrats gave them, they are the only ones who whent above and beyond in support of russia.. they should of been focused on making America first
@@TheChinBurton Financially. There is an incredible amount of Russian money going into Republican super pacs.
Don't run any foreign aide spending bill from senate. HR 2 needs to be processed .first!!!
ZERO BORDER CROSSINGS!!!! “0”!!!! WHAT PART OF THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND???
His eye rolls every time she calls him out on his lies and double talk is sooo revealing and hilarious. 😂
His voice got so high I thought he'd choke.
No she isn’t understanding
@@holliepajak3772 LoL, me thinks she had that “fish” hooked and she wasn’t letting him get away. 😂
@@holliepajak3772 LOL! She understood perfectly. MAGA tears!
@@holliepajak3772You don't understand that we all understand..
This man is an embarrassment
Agreed
so are you
It's insane that's what it is
When I look at him I see how far we have fallen as men.
This woman thinks we're stupid and that we don't know what she's doing.
8:33
*“Of course not…he’s not calling the shots…I am.”*
*You could literally hear the fear and weakness in his voice.*
We don't need anymore new laws just enforce the laws on the books. Just like always talk talk talk talk talk talk talk. But they don't do anything. In makes me sick .
Johnson---As the Architect of Insurrection 21 an intelligent "I know you are, but what am I." 😂
someone tell me why this guy is still there??
He is competent. Why is Blinken there or Kamala
Please don’t pass that BS 5000 a day
Simple question: is your life better today than it was 3 years ago?
I’ve traveled this country for the last 3 years, and things are getting worse everywhere.
He thinks we can't see his forked tongue.
It's hard to be so Godly and an accomplished liar at the same time.
I'd like to see that proposal
After all IT'S OUR MONEY
then why is it a secret???
Yes good one.
It must be.
They should have went with Jim Jordan
Hilarious the TDS in you is flaring up. It's sad that you think the democratic communist party is the epitome of truth😂
Johnson is obviously putting his desire to remain speaker above what's best for the United States.
$118 Billion & only 20 of it is going to our border? The other 98 billion is going toward borders for Ukraine & Israel. Wow!! And that is called "Bipartisan"?
The Keebler Elf looks worried, better give him a cookie!
"We threw partisan trash at the Senate and it sent a bipartisan bill back. I don't want to bring it to a vote!" - The talking Johnson
So protecting our borders through HR2 is considered partisan?????????????? Let us know you support opens borders without saying you support open borders.
The lie that the Leftist/marxist/democrats haven’t had border legislation was obviously a lie.
🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
the senate is working on an " establishment bill " translation only the beltway will like it. #uck the rest of america
"The talking Johnson" 😂
@dannmarceau9743, that's how you know he's lying.
He makes anything Trump wants, look pretty and what Biden wants, ugly.
The Alina Habba, thinking 🤔
A new border bill will be exactly that... another bill we have to pay. Just enforce border laws.
And laws of the Constitution and binden also not following laws Article 1V section 4 invansion of our borders and safety of our country
Will Speaker Johnson show some character and do what is right or just obey Trump's orders.
Speaker Johnson is spineless and has shown very little character other than subservience to the blond dictator wannabe!
Johnson is to honesty and decency, what a sea cucumber is to pole vaulting.
Johnson should not pass the bill. Biden just wants more money for Ukraine and illegals. America doesn't want bidens open borders. Biden has to be voted out in Nov.
The house passed a super far right border bill, and says "we did our part." That's not how government works.
The problem is the Senate are not yet publishing what their bill is and I hope will see what is it.
you mean super left
Far right huh? Take into your home 250 illegal immigrants. Everyday 250 more will be added. We are going to let them in your house without your permission and you are going to be forced to take care of them, for 4 years. Everyday more and more added. You beg and plead no more. No more. We say ok, just 150 a day then instead of 250.
Would you like them to serve coffee with it?
@@reynaldodizon6563 I don't look at that as problem. I think it is good strategy.
Are these negotiations/comprises or ultimatums?
I love how Johnson is unflappably and schools her with facts!
😂😂😂😂 You called those facts?😂😂😂
@@litac5433 yep. Sorry if they hurt your fefe’s. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@SuEnRoD Never. Listening to MAGA just hurts my ears 😂😂 and watching them hurts my eyes 😂.
The founders would be ashamed of you.
Yes ashamed of biden kamala, Omar, Tlaib and all the other clowns 🤡 in the democrat party that has started wars allover the world..
And that includes the bomb dropper on the mideast Oluciver 2008-2016
Why isent he talking to President Biden ??? No he’s talking to Donald Trump instead what a joke !!!!!
He takes orders from Trump
Biden does not know what day it is, Joe is gone, his mind is gone! Donald Trump is not in office!!!!
Trump is an unelected shadow government telling the Leader of the House what to do.
because Biden refuses . opps. Biden CANT TALK. 😮
Why would he talk to Biden? Biden crater this border crisis after Trump had it sorted
DISGUSTING! Kristen is playing "gotcha" w/ the Speaker. Looks like she didn't "get" him. She did not listen to one word the Speaker said!
When Gaslighting goes on a merry-go-round! 😂... That went in 5 circles bc he can not stray from talking points! 😒🤨
talks out of 2 sides of his mouth
It's the fork in his tongue
I love this newscaster - she called him out and asked the tough questions - good job!
oh I cant stand her, she tries to speak FOR people like biden or myorkyst why doesnt she try putting biden on the news desk there and have him speak for himsef
You probably don’t like her because she’s a woman of color. Its ok.
Bot comment
She is a liar and you are globali
I can't stand her either, but here at least she did a good job.
Debate him if you want the presidents approval rating has tanked on all the issues he touched upon. The mass majority of Americans are not happy and it reflects upon Johnsons’s words. For the record I’m not a fan of Johnson but I recognize the facts and optics.
Trump and Johnson others like him aren't doing so hot on approval rating either. .. putting down the bill because said Trump said so.... before it's even given to the house to be read.... Definitely another political stunt.
Joe Biden"s approval ratings might "be low" in 2023, but, you'll see them be much higher in 2024 when he whips that Trump a$$😂😂😂
Because he speaks calmly and soft doesn’t mean he is not a threat to our country.
His face seems to say, I can't really do anything. I went and talked to Trump and he has dirt on me as well.
Stop lying. Boy, she is mad because he's telling the truth. PMS +TDS don't want to hear the truth.
*WHAT?* Let 5,000 entries into the US EVERYDAY? We can't house current citizens and a National Debt of 34 TRILLION! That's 1,825,000 entries every year. And in 10 years that's 18,250,000. Currently there are only 18,430.000 asians in the US 😮. THIS PROGRESSIVE COMMUNIST AGENDA will DESTROY AMERICA!
Yup
“We passed the support for Iran”
He misspoke…it was clearly Israel he was talking about….context matters.
I thought I was tripping
Kristen Welker thinks that 4999 illegals a day is ok. This is insane!
HR2 is the right bill.
She's got him intimidated. She's grilling him so well. You can see him frustrated to answer questions. 😂😂😂😂
This is why his wife uses fundie baby voice. He can’t handle a real conversation. And it’s not just him, it’s a whole culture.
You are only watching it from a Democrat voter point-of-view….she looks like a propagandist to this Independent voter.
Well did you know that President Trump 🇺🇸 grilled her when she interviewed him few months ago 😏.
1:16 Does he not remember the field day the Iran proxies had on the Trump? They were firing at will!
And they lost their leader in a bomb strike as a consequence
@@twesj And struck back multiple times after. In fact struck more. Sorry but the middle east is not afraid of Trump. He and his family are employees. MBS has already said that if Trump is not elected President, Jared will be returning the money.
@@twesjyou have to wonder where these people get their news. Iran tried to attack Iraq based US troops...failed...then lost a general...then shot down an airliner out of panic.
Then quiet for two years till Trump left. Amazing the delusion of these people.

Word Salad. After 10 minutes you lose focus and pass out. Better that trazadone. Thanks Mikey.
How does congress passing the law do anything?! Did the Speaker of the House just say that?!!!
So has your drones solved the Iran problem or not? As you speak, you seem to be a genius in military strategy and international politics. Like your boss. I wonder Iran still has the courage to arm so many radical militias or still has the courage to breathe after President Trump's phenomenal attack.
Mike Johnson proved again during this interview he is not qualified to be House Speaker. Kristen Welker would not let him control the interview with his word salad deflections.
She is simply making false statements. He needs to walk out of the interview!! She is just listening to herself talk!!
@@socialdeb17Mike johnson blah blah blah..MAGA Republicans like me See through it.. The border Immigration reform bill left the senate and died in the MAGA Congress, Obstructionist congress. 2024 it's gonna be very ugly..

Gosh I didn't think approval ratings had anything to do with the presidency nowdays!....??
He be oust if he doesn't bring to floor watch
Kristen pressed him really stern this time !!!! 👍🏾👍🏽😆😀
Her shoulder must be aching from carrying water for the Democrats.
She's part of the fake news Media team with the Biden Crime Family. I'm just awwed they left the comments open.
@@Lerian_Vyes my thoughts as well
This isn't Fox Faux News.. She's asking honest questions to dishonest answers...
Yes she did only a couple of them press these fools
Mr. Moses Johnson sir? Uhmmm... What if Trump loses, or is in prison, and you waste this moment at the border?
Have anybody else heard what the speaker said? "We pass the bill for Iran " I didn't know the Iran was in the Republicans bill.
This guy is so full of it my TV started turning brown.
This man should be asked questions of where he puts his money? Under a mattress? No disclosures of his finances. No bank account. Something fishy about this guy.

UNITED STATES SENATE COMMITTEE ON
BANKING, HOUSING, AND URBAN AFFAIRS
NEWSROOMMINORITY PRESS RELEASES
OCTOBER 10, 2023
Scott Calls for Hearing and Investigation into Release of $6 Billion to Iran
Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, released the following statement after the attack on Israel, calling for the Senate Banking Committee to hold a hearing with Secretary Janet Yellen and for a Senate investigation into the release of $6 billion to Iran:
“In the face of evil, we must use every tool, weapon, and economic sanction available to provide for our nation's security and the security of Israel.
“As the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee with direct jurisdiction over our economic national security tools, including sanctions, I will push for Chairman Brown to invite and urge Treasury Secretary Yellen to testify as soon as possible on the $6 billion recently transferred to Iran and any sanctions gaps we might have with respect to Iran.
“The Senate should also investigate what led the Biden administration to allow a transfer of $6 billion to Iran and how it could expect Iran to not use that money to continue to fuel terrorism. The American people and Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East, deserve transparency and answers.
“We should be signaling strength - not leniency - when it comes to Iran. That’s why now is the time to pass my Solidify Iran Sanctions Act and send the message that Iran should not expect U.S. sanctions to lapse.
“The unprecedented attack on Israel by Hamas - a U.S. designated terrorist organization - warrants the strongest response encompassing both military assistance and the most stringent economic sanctions. I look forward to thoroughly examining additional areas where we can hold these Iranian backed terrorist organizations accountable.”
BACKGROUND
Ranking Member Scott's calls for rigorous congressional oversight mark a continuation of his commitment to applying pressure on the Iranian regime and holding the Biden administration accountable.
On August 18, Ranking Member Scott demanded answers from the Biden administration after it announced the release of $6 billion to Iran. In the letter, the Ranking Member and his colleagues warned that the funds would “enable the Iranian regime to increase its destabilizing activities” and would “serve to encourage additional hostage taking for financial or political gain.”
Earlier this year, Ranking Member Scott introduced the Solidify Iran Sanctions Act to cement the Iran Sanctions Act. The Iran Sanctions Act imposes sanctions that restrict funding for Iran’s energy sector, curtailing the regime’s ability to finance terrorism and develop its nuclear program. Ranking Member Scott’s bill removes the expiration date of these sanctions and makes them permanent - demonstrating America’s unwavering commitment to forcefully answering Iran’s destabilizing actions.
In addition to serving as the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Senator Scott serves as a senior member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, which has jurisdiction over the State Department.

Shouldn't be warning our enemies like we usually do.
SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON SOUNDS LIKE DONALD TRUMP HAS ADDED HIS NUTS TO HIS COLLECTION!!!
What a personification of spineless incompetence: Mr Johnson makes it clear beyond doubt that he is an absolute nothingburger...
I’m surprised NBC posted this! That lady is disconnected and out of the loop!
Theater... It's funny they don't think we see the game. Nothing new. We have been manipulated by the same ruling class for thousands of years. Sad really.
Johnson is in Trump corner he's being careful with his words
Of course he’s telling the truth
That girl's gonna need a counselor after this interview
She really do can’t stand her attitude and her crazy questions
