(00:00):
G Span is not federally funded. We are supported by sponsors and
cable providers. Our program starts now.
Won't you please join us? Today is April 24th, 2023, and
(00:21):
I'm Chad Underwood for G Span. This is day two of the 118th
Congress Hearings on the nominations of United States
Marshals submitted by President Campbell.
At 9:00 AM Eastern, the chair ofthe Judiciary Committee, Senator
Victor Hawks, is scheduled to call Supervisory Deputy Marshall
Bass Marlowe to the stand. This is a most interesting day
for a number of reasons. The nominee, Deputy Marlowe, is
(00:44):
the same member of the US Marshals who cracked the now
infamous Chinese Dreamwax drug pipeline operation.
The same case which saw charges being filed against 73
individuals in 14 different countries and intercepted $2.4
billion in illicit designer drugs.
It will also mark the first timea nominee attends these hearings
via video conference. Deputy Marshall is stationed at
(01:05):
the Amundsen Scott Research Station located at the South
Pole. Due to the current winter
season, all transport in or out is not possible until October of
this year. Due to this unavoidable
situation and thanks to Beauregard Lowing Corporation,
additional Skybridge satellites have been deployed to allow for
high speed, uninterrupted video communication.
Finally, this hearing has been one of the most talked about
(01:27):
events in the past month and it's been constantly trending on
social media. The nomination of this nation's
number one law enforcement agent, who is mostly known by
his nickname, the ICE Sheriff. Today's hearings is expected to
bring in an impressive 20 million viewers, a record for
any single program on G Span. In an unusual turn of events, of
the 12 nominations made by the President of US Marshall, only
(01:50):
one was listed as requiring direct testimony from the
nominee by the Judiciary Committee.
Fast Marlow. This is only intensified the
public's interest and has a large majority of America tuning
in. As you can see, Committee Chair
Hawks and the others have entered the chamber.
An impressive showing with 20 ofthe full 22 member committee.
Deputy Marshall Marlow is on a television display before the
(02:12):
court and as expected, the gallery is standing room only.
Let's move now to the Senator who is opening the hearing.
Everyone present that this is not an Eagles game or any other
sporting event. This is the people's house
(02:36):
place. Great up hold our laws and
traditions is a place of integrity and honor all those
who then will take this to heartand conduct themselves
accordingly. All right.
This morning we have scheduled our yes nomination from
President Campbell, Supervisory Deputy US Marshall Bass Marlow
(02:57):
to US Marshall on establishing a95th Marshall District on the
continent of Antarctica. That is a cold test.
OK. Now, I understand that Deputy
Marlo was presently on the station and it snowed in or some
such. Is that correct?
And I I assume that it's him here on on the zenith there.
(03:19):
Yes, Senator. Supervisor US Deputy Marshall
Bass White Marlo, Sir. All right.
Well, let's get you all sworn inat least, and do that part
properly, please. Rise, young man.
Right hand in the air, do you Psalm and swear the testimony
you'll give before this committee on the dish area of
the United States Senate will bethe truth, the whole truth, and
(03:41):
nothing but the truth so help you God.
I do so. Affirm.
Thank you. And you may be seated.
OK. For the record, you were
nominated by the President to serve as AUS Marshall in
anticipation of the 95th FederalDistrict being passed by
Congress this year. Mr. President always puts the
cop before the horse, doesn't it?
(04:03):
As it Bruce nominee and appearing before this committee
is Deputy Bass wide Marlow 25 years of service with the US
Marshals captured over 500 federal fugitives, including
multiple top 15 most warranted individuals.
Personally led the successful recovery of a high profile
missing witness in two separate whit sex breach cases.
(04:25):
Operating classified joint operations with the FBIDEA and
DHS Tracking international fugitives played a pivotal role
in dismantling a major human trafficking ring.
Earning recognition from Interpol.
Negotiate the surrender of a heavily armed fugitive after a
12 hour hostage standoff. Saving Folk captives was
appointed as head of a cross departmental classified joint
(04:47):
operations which led to the interception destruction of the
Dream Work Pipeline, removing $2.4 billion in drugs in the
United States streets. Well, hell, son, I'm not sure if
I'm supposed to salute you or try to get you to marry my
granddaughter. Let's see.
You have received the Director'sHonorary Award, Distinguished
(05:08):
Service Award, Meritorious Service Medal, Triple Heart
Accommodation 2 times, Fugitive Task for the award three times,
which set Distinguished Service Citation and a Special
Operations Group citation. You received the ATF Medal of
Valor for confront the armed suspect on the Joint Federal
Operation Presidential Unit Citation for involvement in the
(05:30):
multi agency counterterrorism takedown.
Also the Congressional Badge of Bravery for acts of heroism
beyond a Call of Duty. Quite an impressive service
record, Mr. Marlowe. Quite a service record indeed.
So do you believe you're worthy of the honor you were nominated
for by the President? Senator, I will not bore anybody
(05:50):
with opinion of myself. I will simply let my record and
accomplishment speak for themselves and defer the wisdom
of my elders and those more learner than I to turn my worth.
Order. Oh, I assure you, Mr. Marlo, we
intend to do exactly that. I know most people think we all
just sit here and rub a stand nominations to come across our
(06:11):
desk, but sure, you nothing could be further from the truth.
No, there's a reason we have extensive backgrounds, yet
conducted investigations, made aprocedure that will be put on
full display in this hearing. And frankly, son, there's a few
items in your background we'd like to get clarity upon before
rendering a decision on the nomination of possible
(06:32):
advancement to the Senate for final vote.
You OK with that there, son? Senator, I'm happy to provide
any clarity or answers this committee may ask of me.
You're well then. Well, let me lay out the
mechanics of how this will work today.
There'll be one round of questions.
Each center will have 20 minutes, which is twice as long
(06:53):
as we normally allocate for these questions.
But given the importance of thishearing, these remain within you
a lot of time. You know what I'm talking to
over there. Now, the matter of the
nomination. Bass Marlow to position of the
US Marshall District, 9 to 5. Does anybody seek recognition to
speak on Mr. Marlowe's nomination?
Mr. Chairman. Ranking Member Senator Tillis.
(07:17):
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Supervisory Deputy
Marlowe, for being with us, evenif it's only by video call.
I want to express my gratitude for your more than two decades
of service with the United States Marshals.
You've helped protect our communities by finding and
arresting dangerous people, and you've helped safeguard federal
(07:37):
officials, including those of ushere today.
I do feel it's important to say kindly that asking you to go
through this hearing seems unnecessary given the record
you've built, your long years ofservice, the many awards and
commendations you've received, more than any other nominee I've
seen already speak for themselves.
(07:59):
Deputy Marlowe, I can't speak for every member of this
committee, but I feel I should apologize for the burden of this
process. And I only have one simple
question for you. If your nomination is confirmed
and you're appointed to a four year term, will you continue to
serve with the same dedication and care you've shown over these
past 24 years? Ranking Member Tillis, and thank
(08:24):
you for your words and your compliments.
I will disagree that testifying here today in these chambers is
an embarrassment. Well, I appreciate the intent
and sincerity of the apology. It is my duty not only as a
Deputy Marshall, not only as an employee United States
government, but also as an American to peer and ensure
whatever questions you and your constituents may have of me are
(08:45):
answered. All law enforcement officials
depend upon the trust of citizenry.
Personally, I feel we in this profession don't always take
this to heart. So any chance I'm given to help
earn that trust for my profession, I will do so.
To answer your question on my deliveries as AUS Marshall, if
appointed, my answer would be noSenator.
(09:06):
If appointed, I'll be expected to work even harder than before,
and this I will do. I've already cautioned this
gallery once. Trust me, people won't.
I say they will not be 1/3 time.Does the Ranking Member yield
the remainder of his allotted time?
Mr. Chairman, I yield the remainder of my allotted time.
(09:30):
Well, Senator Winston? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Mr. Marlow, for beinghere today.
I'd like to ask you about an incident I read about last week.
I'm referring to your time on the Pacific Southwest Regional
Fugitive Task Force, the shooting of Khalil McConnell.
Deputy Marshall, please recount how you and the strike team
(09:53):
learned of Mr. McConnell's presence in the City of Eugene,
OR July of 2013. Happy to do so, Senator.
My team and I received information from a source that
Mister Kayla Makana wanted for failure to appear warrants and
pending murder and assault charges was in the area we were
conducting our fugitive retrieval operations.
The source was able to provide aspecific address where he was
(10:16):
staying. Who was this source?
It was a confidential informant.One of the other US Marshals
based in Eugene area worked withhim regularly.
His name was Pearson if I recallcorrectly.
This Pearson was a reliable informant.
Senator, I was not directly connected to him, but from what
(10:37):
the Deputy Marshall who was toldme, the Intel he provided was
usually reliable. Usually, not always.
Senator, I have no reason to doubt my fellow Deputy Marshall,
who was familiar with the informant, and if he said the
information could be trusted, itwas good enough for me to act
upon. This criminal informant of
(10:59):
yours, I'm sorry, I do apologize.
You testified he wasn't your criminal informant, but your
fellow deputy marshals. What did you decide to do with
this second hand account from a person whose title included the
word criminal? Mr. Chairman, I object to
(11:20):
Senator Winston's tone and move that this question be stricken
from the record. Could you rephrase the question,
Senator Winston? Happily, Mr. Chairman, Deputy
Marlowe, with the information provided by the criminal
informant, how did you and the team choose to use it?
Senator, we reported the information to the operations
(11:42):
commander and a decision was made to consider it actionable.
We were granted permission to conduct a surveillance operation
of the address we were provided.Information from the
aforementioned criminal informant.
Yes, Senator, that is correct. So you conducted surveillance on
the home you were told he'd be? I believe in the vernacular it's
(12:05):
called a stakeout. And did you locate him?
Senator, we did identify him in the course of the surveillance
operation. Right.
I did forget a question I had. What did the criminal informant
receive for this information he gave to your group?
What was the quid to his pro quo?
Senator, I believe he had pending charges.
(12:27):
He was facing a misdemeanor charge of being in receipt of
stolen goods, a nonviolent criminal offense.
OK, OK, I got a better picture now.
So you see your suspect and you have a warrant for his arrest.
Yes, Senator, we did several. So you charged him and put him
(12:50):
in custody. No, Senator.
By the time we've established positive identification of Mr.
McConnell, he was just entering a third party's home.
While it was a known drug pad, we had no warrant enter those
premises. As per Stagrad versus United
States in 1981, an arrest warrant alone does not allow
police to enter a third party's home.
(13:10):
So we called back to the office and asked a federal magistrate
who was on standby to issue sucha warrant.
You received the warrant and then went in?
No Senator, as we were awaiting the approved and signed warrant
to be delivered, the team and I witnessed a car stop in front of
the house. 2 male suspects came out and we're bringing a young
(13:31):
female with them and against herwill she fought the two males as
much as she could, screaming no and let me go and did not appear
to be going willingly with them.Because she was yelling at them.
That is what you base the assumption upon, that she wasn't
a willing participant. Yes Senator, for that reason and
(13:53):
due to the fact they kept assaulting her about the head
and face. Also one of the men produced a
handgun and pistol whipped her with it.
The same individual told her to be quiet or she regretted in not
exactly those words. After seeing this take place and
the two entering the house with the woman, we agreed we had
sufficient evidence for an exigent search.
(14:15):
And for the gallery participants, if you'd please,
an exigent search is. When circumstances such as if
officers perceive imminent threat to life or property or
risk evidence being destroyed, or if a suspect being chased
runs into a home. In those instances, and if we
(14:36):
believe another reasonable officer would also find it
urgent to act, we can enter a residence or place without a
warrant. My allotted time is running
short here, Deputy, so let me summarize events coming from the
report you filed. You and the team called the
assault in, entered the house, shot an unarmed individual.
(14:56):
Immediately upon entering, A shootout with barricaded
suspects commenced, including the one you were originally
there for. When the dust settled, every
occupant of that house, including the woman you saw
being forced inside, was dead. Only the US Marshall team was
standing. Deputy, when did the warrant you
(15:20):
requested, the one before you saw the woman being taken
inside, finally arrive? O 240 hours, Senator.
And remind us, at what time did your team enter the residence?
Senator, it was O 235 hours. 5 minutes. 5 minutes to have a
(15:41):
proper warrant, perhaps an additional local city officer or
two for backup. Don't you believe the
circumstances could have been different if a modicum of
caution was being displayed? Senator, with respect, nobody
can know what could have been with accuracy.
It may have still gone the exactsame way, or it could have been
(16:02):
worse and Marshalls could have been killed.
There is no way for me to predict the future.
Well, sadly, we won't ever know.And Yolanda Perkins, who was
there against her will and was shot in the crossfire, will also
never know. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My time is up. Senator Kelsey, you're up.
(16:24):
Let's keep this train moving, people.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Ranking Member
Tillis. Deputy Marshall.
Was the account we just heard fully investigated by multiple
agencies and wasn't the full Marshall team found not to be at
fault? That is correct, Senator.
Very good. Moving on now to your fugitive
(16:45):
apprehension of Deccan O'Sullivan AKA the Omaha
Leprechaun on June 2011 in Cincinnati, OH.
Took him into custody that same evening.
Murphy's Pub in Clifton Heights section of Cincinnati.
I have to ask Deputy, why was hecalled the leprechaun?
(17:07):
Senator Mr. O'Sullivan, in addition to being a member of
the Real IRA and being the number one wanted fugitive of
the Police Service of Northern Ireland for his involvement in
the 1998 Omaha bombing. He stands at 5 foot 3 inches
tall. He was given a name by the media
after his description was made public.
He despised it, would often get into fights when somebody made a
(17:28):
reference to his height, which given his thick bro, was often
inevitable. I see.
Thank you for explaining, Deputy.
Please continue with the events after his arrest.
O'Sullivan wasn't difficult to detain as he was very
intoxicated at the time. We were more concerned with the
local college kids who were unhappy with us extracting what
(17:49):
they had come to see as the pub's drunken unofficial mascot.
We had secured him and drove back the police station #2 by
the Ohio River on the Kentucky Ohio State line.
He refused to speak to anybody until he could meet with the
Consulate General's Office of Ireland.
In Cincinnati. Senator, we believed it to be
(18:09):
nothing more than a delay tacticourselves.
Mr. O'Sullivan was wanted in Ireland, England, Wales, France,
Spain and also managed to have ared notice on him from Interpol.
The Marshals were there to servea provisional US arrest warrant
for extradition based on the UK court warrant we had.
After his processing, we placed Mr. O'Sullivan in protective
(18:30):
custody and isolation in the federal safe house nearby.
It was the evening after his arrest that he was removed from
the US Marshals protective custody.
The report reads one second. Mr. O'Sullivan was handcuffed to
a bed where he was sleeping. When the electricity to the
house was interrupted, a concussion distraction device
(18:51):
was thrown into the room next door where 4 marshals were
sitting. It discharged.
An entry was made from an unknown team who extracted and
removed leprechaun from our custody.
In the initial moments of entry,shots were fired from the
marshals at the door and to the house.
Returned fire was experienced and in process I was shot in the
(19:12):
left outer thigh, momentarily incapacitating me, so Mr.
O'Sullivan was freed by this team.
Senator, that is correct that hewas freed, but what we later
learned was that the entry team,as we suspected, was in fact a
loan operator. I'm sorry, let me just.
OK, so a single man is placed into a federal safe house,
(19:35):
protected and cloaked from general public knowledge.
They located the room the fugitive was in, temporarily
rendered ineffective, 5 United States Deputy Marshals shooting
you in the process, and successfully made it out with
the fugitive. Senator, it wasn't a male, it
was a female. So you and your team were beat
(20:00):
up by a girl. Senator, it'd be more accurate
to say myself and my team were bested by a highly trained woman
who was working with the BritishMI 6 as well as AUS Defense
Intelligence Agency, who also had the element of surprise and
potentially inside information at her disposal.
So then you were sucker punched by a girl.
(20:22):
Forgive me. A woman.
This Agent Jocelyn. Bauer I would not describe in
those exact words, Senator, but yes, Agent Fowler was
responsible and later managed toget O'Sullivan out of the
country and to London. Well, thank you, Deputy
Marshall, for the Enlightenment.Mr. Chairman, I yield the rest
(20:42):
of my lifetime. Thank you.
All right, it's now 12:45 and I don't know about the rest of
you, but I need a pallet cleanser after everything we've
absorbed this morning. This committee will suspend for
lunch two hours and reconvene at2:45 to continue with the
interview of the nominee. Committee is in recess.
(21:05):
The Chair of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Victor Hawks
has issued A2 hour pause of proceedings to allow for a meal
break. Here we see the committee
members exiting chambers along with the feed of the nominee
being suspended. To recap the morning's
proceedings, Deputy Marshall Marlow was questioned on his
qualifications in history with the Marshall's office and in
relation to his nomination to become the first US Marshall of
(21:28):
Antarctica, what would be the 95th Federal District of the
United States. The questioning was extremely
confrontational and was held to party lines, as had been
expected by analysis. Even for a moment they wouldn't
be able to pull away at this point.
I mean it would look really bad on them.
(21:48):
Yeah, I'm not sure either though.
Man. Tell us what?
What's the name said again? Miss Kirkland said the press
secretary and the president's advisors were watching
proceedings and nobody was happy.
They said my remaining calm and collected against the pointed
question was making me look weakand unapologetic.
They said I wasn't following thescript they had given me.
(22:10):
That's just some bullshit. Sorry, Kendra.
Sorry, Lord. I only got one more today.
Well, if anything, it sounded like you were being cool in the
gang and not letting them get toyou.
Wouldn't take the bait man. Exactly my point.
From what I saw, they wanted to rattle your cage.
They were looking for any crack in your armor to exploit.
(22:31):
Did you see that one Senator Carlson sweating when he didn't
get a rise from you? Yes, sweetheart, I saw I was
there. You know what I mean, Bass?
If anything, I'm like, cannot believe the words about to come
out my mouth. But Franklin's legal advice on
answering seems to be keeping them guessing.
Yeah, yeah, I think it was afterabout an hour into, it occurred
(22:53):
to me that the script from the chief of staff's team would have
led me into three, maybe 4 verbal traps had I used them.
So there's no lingering down in my mind any longer.
The president's ordered me to beset up to lose frack him.
I don't, I won't. So I left and Preacher said
there ain't no rollover points on promises load so to read the
(23:17):
fine print. If my opinion counts for
anything, it. Counts for everything, as does
yours. Then I think you should go back
in there and keep doing what you're doing.
Use the strategy Franklin gave you.
I mean, OK, this is how I see it.
You use the prepared notes and the directions the White House
gave you, and you're sure to slip into quicksand as you try
(23:39):
to get out. They'll push you deeper and
deeper. Or stay off their scripts.
Stay with Franklin's coaching and keep them off guard their
way. You'll lose 100% our way.
You still have a fighting chance.
As much as he's been trying withthe media influencing and his
office of citizen morale, he's not winning any points with the
(23:59):
public and this is very much thecourt of public opinion you have
going for you. That is where you thrive, baby
boy. That's the public loves you.
You, the boy. In every news report leading up
to this has been nothing but excitement and positive.
These senators know this and they want to get the public
against you and all it's going to take is 1 outburst from you.
(24:21):
And like Doc James said they got.
Damn don't fall for that stuff. I got an hour before I have to
get back there. Just enough time for me to get.
Oh, hey there Marshall, don't you worry.
I went ahead and got your favorite breakfast all set up as
soon as I see how you'll walk in.
Now I know I'm supposed to be nice to everybody, but I don't
(24:46):
mind telling you after what I just saw on the TV while I was
sitting on my kitchen. Oh boy, I'm ready to give those
leader type folks a real piece of my mind, don't you know?
Darn Tooting A siree, Bob. Thank you, Miss Alice, and thank
you for your support. Well, don't think nothing of it,
dear. Please go ahead and sit down
now. All right, Zeke, Kendra, what
(25:09):
can I get you kids for breakfast?
And don't you go worrying. None of it ain't on the menu
this morning. I'll whip up anything.
Use choose one. Have to make sure your cheering
squad is just as bad as our Marshall here.
You're the best, Miss Alice. But I'm not actually feeling the
best this morning. My stomach is queasy.
It's probably from getting up at3:00 AM to watch Bass's hearing.
(25:33):
So I think just juice and toast for me today.
Uh huh. Well that's one grilled cheese
and tomato soup that you always order when you get anxious or
need a bit of feeling better. You are looking a bit flesh over
there. Oh, don't worry sweetheart, I
gotcha. I'll also bring some hot ginger
tea for your tummy. And what about you, new leader,
(25:53):
Mr. Bustamante? Honestly Miss Alice, I could go
with some grits and shrimp. Oh, I got you 2 dear 2 Reuben
sandwiches with extra Russian dressing and the spiciest BBQ
chips I have in the back. Special storage vanilla
milkshake with extra sprinkles. Well, I'll get these up for you
to Jeff. Does anybody else find it weird
(26:18):
when she knows what we really need, even when we don't chalk
it up to just one more mystery on the ice?
Extra sprinkles. Yeah.
Yeah, that's how Grandma Bee used to always do it.
She put on extra sprinkles any time when her grandkid just got
a whooping and a skin knee from playing outside.
(26:39):
So once you go throwing shade atmy sprinkles bash, Marlo give
you a good old ass whooping before you go back.
Oh, Dang it. I used the last one on your dump
rear end. Y'all.
You know I'll be off my game thewhole rest of the day.
See what you did. Thanks long man.
Gentlemen, maybe we should focusmore on the problems at hand.
(27:00):
I don't know, I have a fantasticbreakfast, literally my favorite
sitting in front of me. I have the woman I love helping
me out of my best friend who I got this slip from my own
amusement best. I have to say I'm feeling a lot
better already. Whatever man own Dang fault
she's been paying a bit of attention.
You. You've got this sweetie.
(27:22):
All you need to do is keep levelheaded.
Don't give him an inch and just be yourself.
I'm not sure I know how to be anybody else exactly.
Did Sally really say the president may have to distance
himself from you and. Not so many words.
Yes, yes she did. She was there to help.
Just don't believe any longer that it was me she was helping.
What A2 face all this time? She said she was going to be
(27:45):
there to help. Well, I know it ain't nothing
you believe in, but I'm going topray for you if we go back in
there because I don't want you thinking that only the evil
version of the afterlife has your back.
I appreciate that, Sprinkles. I'll take whatever I can get
right now. You know what?
It's going to be a real small prayer, too.
Hey, Zeke. Yeah.
(28:08):
Seriously. Thank you.
Yeah, man. Recording stopped I'm.
Not seeing anything else on the Dream Wax operation or the
resulting arrests made yourself very popular that day.
Deputy Marshall, I want to go back now to the original
investigation that brought you to the South Pole Station.
This says you've made an initialarrest in that murder, but that
(28:32):
individual was later released. So then Josh Nichols wasn't the
original suspect you had arrested for the murder of
Doctor Mark Rodney? No, Senator.
That was a gentleman named DavidBrewster, who we later
established had been framed by Mr. Nichols when he placed the
murder weapon in a crate Mr. Brewster last inspected.
According to this, David Brewster is 80 years old.
(28:54):
It was your opinion, as the Marshall of note, that this
elderly gentleman was able to overpower and kill somebody
almost 50 years younger than himand 100 lbs heavier.
Evidence and forensics show Doctor Rodney had been
bludgeoned from behind. Presumably he was not aware
anybody was there and was instantly knocked out.
Struck in the proper location onthe head was sufficient enough
force and the object of heft. I assure that it is possible.
(29:17):
Even after his defense counsel proved he physically couldn't
have been the one who tried to murder you after commencing an
investigation of Doctors Rodney murder, that still wasn't
enough. Senator, I admit that after
Leader review, while I was confident he wasn't the one who
threw the chemical soaked rag inmy room in the attempt on my
life, it didn't necessarily alsomean he was innocent of the
(29:40):
Rodney murder. Although I will admit the time I
began having serious doubts regarding his alleged guilt.
So when the arrest of the propersuspect was made of Josh
Nichols, it was with. Proper evidence?
Yes, Senator. He was caught accessing
restricted data and attempting to send it to the Chinese
Embassy in Wellington, New Zealand.
(30:01):
We set up a trap which we knew the guilty culprit would act
upon. Mr. Nichols was apprehended
after starting an uploaded data as well as having a concealed
weapon which was the same in design and construction as the
murder weapon used on Doctor Mark Rodney.
OK. The search the.
TRAP and the arrests were all authorized with the proper
paperwork authorized by my superiors.
(30:22):
Yes Senator. However, because Munson Scott is
federally funded complex, the laptops used federally owned and
the sleeping birds federally provided there was no
requirements secure require a search warrant.
Well, I suppose we should be happy that one worked out in
your favor. So he was arrested and you're
escorting him back to McMurdo Station to be handed over to US
(30:43):
Marshals who'd take him back to the US for formal sentencing.
But your plane crashed on route.The NTSB here says it was a
mechanical failure. The the bottles that assisted
takeoff didn't eject and fell into an engine mid flight.
Yes, Senator, that was what I was told as well.
However, later investigations ofmine showed deliberate sabotage
(31:04):
to ensure the drugs that have been stored on the plane were
not able to make it to America. Ah yes, sabotaged by this Chaz
Wilford who you shot during a hostage standoff in his in a
coma. Also, who the Department of
Energy say they've never heard of.
(31:25):
Back to the plane crash. In your report, it says the
plane broke into and the survivor set to create a rescue
plan. Did I include the murder suspect
Josh Nichols as well? Senator, before, during and
after the crash, Josh Nichols was handcuffed and restrained
due to the threat that he had caused.
After learning the emergency handheld radio was damaged and
(31:45):
with Mr. Nichols being the only one of us who could repair it, I
impressed upon him the need to work with us to achieve the
rescue. So who shot him in the arm?
No, Senator. I grazed him in the arm to limit
the back and forth and secure his cooperation as our fuel
supplies to burn wood and stay alive.
We're depleting. Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm having
trouble understanding what I'm reading.
(32:07):
OK, so the plane crashed. Yes, Senator, that is correct.
Everybody survived the wrecked, only you sustained any injury.
Yes, Senator, that is correct. After the crash, Mr. Nichols was
handcuffed and had shackles. On yes, Senator, that is
correct. And you needed his help to
repair the emergency radio to effect a rescue.
(32:29):
Yes, Senator, that is also correct.
So to encourage his help, I'm sorry you shot an unarmed,
handcuffed suspect in the arm. No Senator, that is not entirely
accurate. I continue to stand by my
official submitted report which states I winged him to ensure
time, energy and heat, which we had limited amounts of, weren't
(32:50):
wasted on what I assume would behis mind games in reaching some
agreement. I had four other lives to think
about. Oh, you shot him in the arm?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.You pointed your agency issued
firearm at him and nicked his arm to enlist his assistance.
Yes, Senator, that is correct. During a high risk tactical
(33:13):
operation, marshals on fugitive task forces, witness protection
or special OPS may discharge weapons in scenarios where
threats are present but not yet life threatening.
I determined be this such a scenario.
Later he attacked you and he escaped wherein you pursued him
to the ends of the Cliff face estimated to be about 700 feet
to the ground below and he jumped rather than face
(33:33):
rearrest. That is how the events took
place. Yes, Senator, He.
Jumped in little cold weather, protective clothing, no food, no
gear in the middle of winter season -90° off a mountain.
Yes, Senator, that too is correct.
Jeez. And he disappeared until he was
(33:55):
seen nine months later attendingthe Nobel award ceremony on
international television. Yes, Senator, I'm not able to
explain how that occurred, so. We're being asked to vote on a
nominee who shot an unarmed man in handcuffs in custody, who
then escaped not once but twice,and beyond all possible odds was
(34:16):
wearing an Armani tuxedo in Stockholm.
Almost a year later, Mr. Chairman, my time has almost
expired, so I'll go ahead and yield.
Oh, oh, sorry, Deputy Marshall. What happened to the drugs that
had been stowed on the plane youwere on and crashed?
Senator, a few months after the crash, the NTSB, accompanied by
(34:38):
agents with the DEA and FBI, arrived on sea and discovered
there had been a recovery operation by individuals
unknown. Thank you for enlighten us all,
Deputy Marshall Marlow. Mr. Chairman, now I formally
yield my remaining time. There will be order on this
chambers. All right, this is going to
(35:01):
happen. I've just been given information
which was provided to this committee and pertains to these
proceedings. I believe it requires comment
from the nominee in this session.
However, as we will need time toreview this information as well
as several members on this committee have conflicting
meetings later today, they must attend now.
(35:23):
I'm suspending this proceeding until 9:00 AM tomorrow morning,
where we will reconvene. Not only do I want to discuss
this new information with you, Deputy Marshall, but also
because we still have final closing remarks and proper
adjournment to go through. Members of this committee are
expected to clear their calendars tomorrow to make this
a priority. Then enough dilly dallying
(35:44):
already tomorrow. We are an adjournment until
tomorrow, at which time you'll be called to the stand to help
us understand troubling information about the light on
your wife's passing, investigation afterwards, and
support from the Marshall Service since then, after which
we'll be more than ready to voteupon the nomination in advance
for the Senate. This meeting is adjourned until
(36:05):
9:00 AM tomorrow. There's no secret that I was
suffering afterwards, and I'm sure there's no shortage of
rumors flying around that I was only there due to being Chuck's
(36:26):
son-in-law. None of that ever bothered me,
and it still doesn't, but I haveto believe they know.
But you said how you were dealing with your wife's with
Diane and the baby's death wasn't known to anybody other
than Chuck and Fiona. As far as I know, there wasn't
anybody else aware. Hell, most of those 20 years I
(36:46):
wasn't aware due to my Somebody must have found out.
Regardless if it was 5 or 15 or last week, somebody knows?
You're positive nobody the Senate is staff would have
interviewed about your past, would have been aware of your
prolonged grief disorder or dissociative coping?
(37:06):
No, I can't be positive anythinganymore.
Fiona's the only living person I'm sure would have been aware
and she wouldn't have said anything under any
circumstances. OK, let's take a breath here.
Just just because they want to talk about Diane and the
investigation doesn't necessarily mean that they are.
Wake up already, Kendra, they know, and I'm about to lose it
(37:27):
all. Bass, we can fix this and we'll
face it together, all of us. But please don't snap at the
people who are trying to help you, especially me.
Right. You're right, Kendra.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry for jumping down your throat.
Sorry, Franklin. None of this is having enough.
(37:50):
It isn't supposed to be happening this way.
What do you mean, Franklin? Ohio.
Sorry, I meant that I reviewed all the files and answers Bass
gave the Senator staffers. None of those files or responses
would have. Provided any insight into how
(38:11):
Javert here was coping with the loss something new?
Happened. Bass, you said at the very end
of the questioning, some young Gopher or staffer came in with a
note. Yeah.
He she they handed it to the Senator Hawks.
(38:32):
Yes. What was his reaction?
Glee and self-serving delight, I'm sure.
No, really bass. Think, really think.
You saw him. Take the note.
Read the note. I bet he looked up and looked at
you, didn't he? Probably Franklin.
(38:53):
Try think back. He's smirking.
Right side of his face. Oh, come on, Deputy.
You're a trained interrogator. You read human body language and
facial expressions better than anyone I know.
I've seen you do it. Think think back, you can get
(39:16):
more. Than that.
He's smirking, like I said. He looks quickly to his left,
over to Senator Kenzie, I think,licks his upper lip and then
looked at me. This.
Tells you what? Franklin, I'm a little stressed
here. I've barely slept my entire
career. My entire life is coming
(39:37):
unravelled. If they have what I fear they
have, then my actions will have taken down Charlie's legacy that
he worked so hard to build, and Fiona will probably be ruined
and booted from the FBI. So if you know something, just
fucking say it. This is why everybody says
you're great at reading people but absolutely shit at poker.
(40:00):
Deputy Bass. He's bluffing.
Oh, he suspects. I'm sure he's putting together a
puzzle with no box picture to use as reference.
I was watching the entire hearing down here and even I
didn't see it until just now. Franklin.
Every time he thought himself orsomebody else was tripping you
(40:21):
up, he sat stone faced. He thought they had you for
sure, but with the hell of a devilish defense counsel, we
sidestepped. Elegantly, I may add.
Franklin. Franklin.
Right, right, right. Sorry.
When they thought they had you on shooting to wound nickels,
but you gave them the acceptableexception to the rule.
When they thought they might have you on the warrantless
search, but you cited exigent circumstances and an
(40:44):
understanding of Steagall versusUnited States ruling.
He licked his upper lip. He thought he had cornered you,
but now he wasn't sure. But but you're sure, Franklin,
you're sure he doesn't have anything?
Not 100% sure no, more like 98%.I'm formally declining the
(41:11):
nomination and resigning as AUS Deputy Marshall.
What? You both heard me.
It's over. They won.
Tried to fight the system, try to do what my heart said was the
right thing, to do the proper thing.
Now I'm now I've overstepped andI've got too confident and too
proud and I forgot how my actions could have consequences
(41:33):
on those I love and have lost. Javert, as much as I love the
smell of the sin of pride, you can't give up.
Sweetheart, I know it looks bad and OK.
I know you have emotions, a lot of emotions around this topic
that are still healing and raw. But to throw in the towel?
(41:53):
To surrender. That isn't the best Marlow I
know I've. Lost.
No, you're tired, that's all. You have them on the ropes and
they know it. They're going to the well of
desperation with something they were obviously just given.
And you, you heard Franklin. They're bluffing, trying to
rattle your cage. Stick to the plan, answer the
(42:17):
questions they ask honestly, anduse the answers I gave you.
If you get in a bind, they'll try to trip you up, but I'm
willing to bet they have not a damned thing I'm.
Not willing to make that gamble.I am shit at poker, remember,
and I won't gamble with the lives and reputations of anybody
else, no. Honey I.
(42:40):
Will you make me a promise? I know for a fact you always
keep your promises. Will you make one for me?
What's the promise? Go sleep on it.
Go back to your birth, drink, sleep, have phenomenal sex, all
of the above. Whatever you need to do to relax
(43:01):
a bit. Don't make any final decisions
until you hear back from me. If afterwards you think this is
what you want to do, then OK. But will you promise to give me
one chance? My plan?
BI Promise. Wonderful Doctor Jennings as a
fellow connoisseur of verdict. Impossible.
(43:22):
Remember the episode when the cartel drug Lord simply wanted
to retire from the narcos life and sing opera professionally?
What? Not the time, Franklin.
Just get him back to your birth.Plan B is going to take some
time to get set up and I need tostart now.
I may need right up to the last moment.
But Bass, I've never known you to give up before.
(43:47):
I'll be damned if you do so on my watch.
Now go. I have a lot of very long
distance calls to make. I hope I have roaming coverage.
You 2GO leave it to me. Lot to do and little time to do
it. Recording stopped.
(44:12):
G Span is not federally funded. We are supported by sponsors and
cable providers. Our program starts now.
Won't you please join us? Good morning.
Today is April 25th, 2023, and I'm Chad Underwood in our
(44:32):
Washington, DC office for G Span.
This is day three of the 118th Congress hearings on the
nomination submitted by President Bruce J Campbell.
Specifically, today's session will be a continuation of
Supervisory Deputy Marshall BassMarlow to become a fully sworn
United States Marshall. In a truly unprecedented turn of
events, this will be the longestconfirmation hearing of any
(44:55):
nominee selected to the posting of US Marshall, moving into its
second full day after new information was brought into
chambers yesterday afternoon andprovided to Senator Victor
Hawks. Indeed, the entire schedule for
today has been revised in preparation for another day of
testimony. After initial comments from the
chairman, a witness will be called into the chamber to
(45:15):
provide their information after being issued A subpoena.
Obviously, this has resulted in even more public and media
interest making headline news last evening and into today's
morning programs. Viewership, already at record
highs, is now expected to double.
Indeed, it could be said that the eyes of the world are
focused on Capitol Hill and today's.
Not I'll be sitting right over here, sweetheart, Right out of
(45:37):
the camera view. Whatever you decide, whatever
you feel is the proper thing, I hope you know I'll support you
and we'll always love you. Regardless of if it's staying
here or leaving the station, we do it together.
I got an e-mail earlier. They rearranged the docket for
today. Just like the G Span guy said,
they're going to bring somebody in to testify.
(45:58):
Not only are they opening another round of questions, but
it looks like they found somebody who knows the.
Truth about. Chuck and Fiona supported me and
how I dealt with Diane and the baby.
They really stacked the deck against me today, not taking any
chances. Does Franklin have anything yet?
Well, I went down there an hour ago to check and he was
(46:19):
frantically working on somethingin there, but he told me he'd
let me know when everything was set.
Honey, they're about to start. I think we're officially.
Oh man, they told me. Be the one I tell you.
Damn, I'm not sure, Zeke, buddy.Kind of the middle of my life
(46:42):
ending. No, no, no, no, no, man.
No. Look, Bass, you need to.
You need to trust frankly, what I know.
I know, right? They said if you heard that from
me, you know it's serious. Don't do nothing now.
(47:07):
We got you, man. Turning on telecom. 3.
Oh, Sarah 2, I got to go. Yeah, I gotta do some more
running. Supervisory Deputy US Marshall
Bass Marlowe has appeared on screen in chambers looking more
confused really than confident at first glance.
(47:27):
Honey, honey game face. Today will be a true test of his
abilities to win over the lawmakers as yesterday's session
had the Deputy Marshall answering very rough questions
and being on the defensive By the sound of the senators at the
conclusion of yesterday, it would seem today will be more of
the same. Senator Hawks and the committee
are being shown in and taking their places.
We're also hearing something of a gathering has started outside
(47:49):
the Senate building where supporters of Deputy Marlow have
gathered to show their support. The chairman is calling the
session to order. Let's listen in all.
Right, all right, let us come toorder people.
Again, I want to remind the gallery members depressed the
meetings were in the room. Time for acting up.
I want order in the quorum. I want you to act like you are
(48:11):
in a church, not the State Fair.OK, Good morning.
Ranking Member Tillis, Members of the committee, thank you for
ensuring we had time for today'sproceedings.
This is continuing the nomination review of Supervisor
Deputy Bass Wyatt Marlow, UnitedStates Marshall, to a Marshall
position. I want to thank you, Marlow, for
(48:35):
returning, thanking the members of this committee who burned the
midnight oil last night to get today's schedule shuffled around
and up to and including Pristine's after nominee Malo
session. Today should be quiet and
interesting day. We're going to be digging into
some truths that might be hard to hear.
People go to sea and even harderto swallow.
(48:57):
I have ever confidence that by the end of today's hearing,
we'll have the proper unjust outcome.
Now, Ranking Member Tillis beingon the other side of the
political aisle, I'm sure you prepared open remarks of your
own regard to the nominee, Senator Tillis.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I also thank you, Mr. Marlowe, for
(49:18):
returning today. It is my hope that I got to meet
you in person one day, young man.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and with that, I yield the rest of
my time. Now, I just got done telling you
people to keep it zipped. Senator, tell us, Are you sure
(49:39):
those are the words that you don't on the record?
Yes, Mr. Chairman, that is my intent.
All right then, as you want it, I'm going to actually make lunch
on time today after all, moving ahead, we have our witness who
will be. Oh, we're on.
(50:06):
We're on now. Oh, splendid.
Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Distinguished members of the
Judiciary Committee. I understand I've been asked to
testify today regarding the nomination of Supervisory Deputy
Marshall Bass Wyatt Marlowe. But first, let's acknowledge the
elephant in the room, or rather the cat on the screen.
(50:27):
It seems my Zoom call has decided to embellish my
appearance with this curious little filter.
I I have tried, quite sincerely to remove it and yet some masks
refuse to come off. Now, before anyone grows
concerned, let me offer this reassurance.
(50:47):
I am, despite appearances, not apussy.
This is completely unacceptable and outside a poor call.
Point of procedure, Mr. Chairman.
Senator Buxton. Mr. Chairman, I direct your
attention to the approved schedule.
The individual before us is Mr. Cohen, attorney at Law.
(51:12):
I will send information that Mister Cohen has information
important and germane to these hearings.
His extensive knowledge of information in cases the nominee
has been asked and responded to,including cases he worked
directly with Supervisory DeputyMarshall Marlow.
Thus, it makes his testimony both relevant and necessary.
(51:32):
I want that that mask he's got there removed immediately get it
on. Oh, Mr. Chairman, some things
cannot be undone, but I assure you we are doing everything
possible to get this pussy off my face.
I remind you what you are, counselor.
(51:53):
You want to testify, fine, but we are swearing you in now.
You solemnly swear the testimonyyou will give before this
committee on the Judiciary of the United States Senate will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help
you God. Mr. Chairman, I always tell the
truth. It's just that I know far more
(52:14):
of it than others. I do so swear this really is
Franklin's time to shine. All right before us is a
Franklin Cohen Defense Council license to practice.
(52:37):
The hell are you doing back here?
Very good. Mr. Chairman, such an
appropriate pun of a question. You know why I'm here.
But if we must put on a show, let's at least go through the
motions, shall we? I am here because I was asked.
And when old, old friends need aword, I find it unwise to ignore
(53:04):
them. Besides, it's been so long since
we've all had a proper chat. To answer your question, I am
here as a character witness for Deputy Marshall Bass Marlow.
Who subpoenaed you? Subpoenaed.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That would have required formal
service, which is quite impossible, giving that I'm at
(53:26):
the same remote station as Deputy Marshall Marlow.
Instead, I received a kind and irresistible request from none
other than the senator, Zuri Buxton, after my urgent e-mail
to her. So generous.
Really, Zuri? If I'm not mistaken, I do
believe that is the Swahili wordfor beautiful.
(53:48):
Love the power dress suit. Senator Buxton, Mary Meryl
Streep, Devil Wears Prada vibe you've pulled off.
Kudos to Youdos, Madam Senator. And what exactly you wish to
testify to, Councillor? Ah, finally we arrive at
Franklin's time to shine. I have known Deputy Marshall
(54:11):
Marlow since his arrival on thisstation two years ago.
In my capacity as legal counsel and let's call it what it is, a
humble purveyor of order, I assisted in the investigation
and eventual arrest of 1 Mr. Joshua Nichols, who as you well
know was responsible for the first homicide on this
continent. The first stain of non so
(54:34):
proverbial blood on the ice, as it were.
Of course, I also worked alongside Marlowe in dismantling
the designer drug pipeline flowing through this research
facility. You remember that, don't you,
Mr. Chairman? Good senators of this committee,
the voters whom you represent more so than at any point in
(54:55):
time in this nation, are lookingfor their better angels.
I happen to know a few things about angels.
They don't dwell in the heavens above.
They won't be found in storybooks or in theaters or
television. They walk amongst you.
You have a prime example, testifying here before you in
(55:16):
these chambers. Supervisory Deputy US Marshall
Bass Marlowe is one of those individuals, A gentleman who is
utterly beyond reproach. Franklin, what is your game?
Jerry, you never change. I do enjoy a good game, a game
(55:37):
of chance, of wits, of careful stakes.
But what I do not enjoy is when the house is rigged, when the
cards were marked before the hand was even dealt.
And when that happens, you don'tplay the hat.
Goodness gracious. No, you change the dealer.
(55:59):
Ah, but yes, let's let's talk about games, shall we?
Tempe, AZ 1970s Senator Rockwell, I assure you, Deputy
Marshall has never frequented those establishments.
Poplar Bluff, MO Senator Kitchener, No such shady real
(56:21):
estate deals with bilking partners in his property
portfolio. Missouri Dreadful place.
Foreign donations tucked into neat little offshore accounts.
Senator Newcomb, I can personally confirm Marlowe's
books are cleaner than others. And Phuket, Thailand.
(56:42):
Senator Winston, you won't find young underage lads in seedy
hotels from glass. Marlowe's history.
No, esteemed members of this committee, there are no dead
bodies in his closet or under a summer home in the Hamptons.
(57:04):
No. Now, how about yours?
Ah, and there it is, that feeling the moment a person
realizes they are well and trulyseen.
(57:25):
So, oh, shall we continue? Or would you rather discuss the
real matters before us? What's the problem, Senators?
Does my avatar have your tongue?Oh my, my, this is fun.
(57:45):
A regular barrel of hairless apes?
Or is the same monkeys I always forget?
No, no matter. So any more questions for me?
Mr. Chairman, according to the day's agenda, it appears you had
information to provide regardingthe nominee's history.
(58:07):
I'd like to suggest we forego that and move on to a formal
vote. Seconded.
You cannot second a motion counselor.
However, I can and happily do I second.
Motion on the floor and 2nd it is to proceed direct to a vote.
Does anybody want to say any closing words?
(58:30):
Mr. Chairman. Big surprise under Buxton.
Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member andcolleagues of this committee, I
rise today to speak plainly because the people I represent
don't have time for political games or self-serving theatrics.
We are not here to put on a show.
(58:50):
We are here to determine whetherSupervisory Deputy US Marshall
Bass Wyatt Malow is the right man to carry the badge and the
burden of service in our nation's 95th District.
Now let's get something straight.
This nominee ain't some paper pusher looking for a promotion.
Deputy Marlowe is the ICE Sheriff known across this
(59:12):
country and across the globe forputting his life on the line
when most folks would have turned away.
He didn't just crack a case, he dismantled the so-called Chinese
Dream pipeline, shutting down billions and let me say that
again, billions in poison headedfor our streets.
He has stared down fugitives, traffickers, hostage takers and
(59:35):
terrorists and time and time again he brought people home
safe. Colleagues, I listened as some
here tried to twist his actions to take honorable service and
turn it into scandal. They want to harp on a 5 minute
window between a warrant and an extension entry, or reduce his
(59:56):
sacrifice in the South Pole plane crash to a footnote.
But I want you to hear what the American people already know.
Bass Marlowe didn't wait on comfort.
He didn't wait on politics. He acted.
He protected lives. And when it meant putting his
own body, his own reputation on the line, he did it anyway.
(01:00:20):
I also took note, Mr. Chairman, that when pressed on whether he
thought himself worthy of this honor, Bass Marlowe didn't puff
out his chest or Polish his metals.
He simply said, I let my record speak for itself.
That humility, that groundness, paired with the most decorated
service record before this committee today, that is exactly
(01:00:44):
the kind of leadership this country is crying out for.
And let's be real, the public already sees it.
They see a man who cannot be rattled by gotcha questions or
partisan baiting. They see someone who embodies
the principle that law enforcement isn't about ego,
it's about trust. That's why people packed into
(01:01:06):
these hearings. That's why they call him the ICE
Sheriff. Because he is steady, he is
fair, and he is unflinching. So my colleagues may posture,
they may bluster, but when the dust settles, the truth stands.
Supervisory Deputy Marshall BassWyatt Marlowe is not just
(01:01:28):
qualified, he is the very model of what a United States Marshall
should be. I urge this committee to do
right by the people, do right bythe badge, and advance his
nomination without delay. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I yield. Great.
(01:01:50):
We'll move to voice of vote. All those approving the
nominations say aye. Aye.
Aye, aye aye. Those opposed say nay.
Any abstentions. Nominee carries by unanimous
(01:02:10):
vote. Then again, in no abstentions,
we're a John. Hi Brian Bradley, your creator

(01:04:11):
This has been a BMB production.
G Span is not federally funded. We are supported by sponsors and
cable providers. Our program starts now.
Won't you please join us? Today is April 24th, 2023, and
(00:21):
I'm Chad Underwood for G Span. This is day two of the 118th
Congress Hearings on the nominations of United States
Marshals submitted by President Campbell.
At 9:00 AM Eastern, the chair ofthe Judiciary Committee, Senator
Victor Hawks, is scheduled to call Supervisory Deputy Marshall
Bass Marlowe to the stand. This is a most interesting day
for a number of reasons. The nominee, Deputy Marlowe, is
(00:44):
the same member of the US Marshals who cracked the now
infamous Chinese Dreamwax drug pipeline operation.
The same case which saw charges being filed against 73
individuals in 14 different countries and intercepted $2.4
billion in illicit designer drugs.
It will also mark the first timea nominee attends these hearings
via video conference. Deputy Marshall is stationed at
(01:05):
the Amundsen Scott Research Station located at the South
Pole. Due to the current winter
season, all transport in or out is not possible until October of
this year. Due to this unavoidable
situation and thanks to Beauregard Lowing Corporation,
additional Skybridge satellites have been deployed to allow for
high speed, uninterrupted video communication.
Finally, this hearing has been one of the most talked about
(01:27):
events in the past month and it's been constantly trending on
social media. The nomination of this nation's
number one law enforcement agent, who is mostly known by
his nickname, the ICE Sheriff. Today's hearings is expected to
bring in an impressive 20 million viewers, a record for
any single program on G Span. In an unusual turn of events, of
the 12 nominations made by the President of US Marshall, only
(01:50):
one was listed as requiring direct testimony from the
nominee by the Judiciary Committee.
Fast Marlow. This is only intensified the
public's interest and has a large majority of America tuning
in. As you can see, Committee Chair
Hawks and the others have entered the chamber.
An impressive showing with 20 ofthe full 22 member committee.
Deputy Marshall Marlow is on a television display before the
(02:12):
court and as expected, the gallery is standing room only.
Let's move now to the Senator who is opening the hearing.
Everyone present that this is not an Eagles game or any other
sporting event. This is the people's house
(02:36):
place. Great up hold our laws and
traditions is a place of integrity and honor all those
who then will take this to heartand conduct themselves
accordingly. All right.
This morning we have scheduled our yes nomination from
President Campbell, Supervisory Deputy US Marshall Bass Marlow
(02:57):
to US Marshall on establishing a95th Marshall District on the
continent of Antarctica. That is a cold test.
OK. Now, I understand that Deputy
Marlo was presently on the station and it snowed in or some
such. Is that correct?
And I I assume that it's him here on on the zenith there.
(03:19):
Yes, Senator. Supervisor US Deputy Marshall
Bass White Marlo, Sir. All right.
Well, let's get you all sworn inat least, and do that part
properly, please. Rise, young man.
Right hand in the air, do you Psalm and swear the testimony
you'll give before this committee on the dish area of
the United States Senate will bethe truth, the whole truth, and
(03:41):
nothing but the truth so help you God.
I do so. Affirm.
Thank you. And you may be seated.
OK. For the record, you were
nominated by the President to serve as AUS Marshall in
anticipation of the 95th FederalDistrict being passed by
Congress this year. Mr. President always puts the
cop before the horse, doesn't it?
(04:03):
As it Bruce nominee and appearing before this committee
is Deputy Bass wide Marlow 25 years of service with the US
Marshals captured over 500 federal fugitives, including
multiple top 15 most warranted individuals.
Personally led the successful recovery of a high profile
missing witness in two separate whit sex breach cases.
(04:25):
Operating classified joint operations with the FBIDEA and
DHS Tracking international fugitives played a pivotal role
in dismantling a major human trafficking ring.
Earning recognition from Interpol.
Negotiate the surrender of a heavily armed fugitive after a
12 hour hostage standoff. Saving Folk captives was
appointed as head of a cross departmental classified joint
(04:47):
operations which led to the interception destruction of the
Dream Work Pipeline, removing $2.4 billion in drugs in the
United States streets. Well, hell, son, I'm not sure if
I'm supposed to salute you or try to get you to marry my
granddaughter. Let's see.
You have received the Director'sHonorary Award, Distinguished
(05:08):
Service Award, Meritorious Service Medal, Triple Heart
Accommodation 2 times, Fugitive Task for the award three times,
which set Distinguished Service Citation and a Special
Operations Group citation. You received the ATF Medal of
Valor for confront the armed suspect on the Joint Federal
Operation Presidential Unit Citation for involvement in the
(05:30):
multi agency counterterrorism takedown.
Also the Congressional Badge of Bravery for acts of heroism
beyond a Call of Duty. Quite an impressive service
record, Mr. Marlowe. Quite a service record indeed.
So do you believe you're worthy of the honor you were nominated
for by the President? Senator, I will not bore anybody
(05:50):
with opinion of myself. I will simply let my record and
accomplishment speak for themselves and defer the wisdom
of my elders and those more learner than I to turn my worth.
Order. Oh, I assure you, Mr. Marlo, we
intend to do exactly that. I know most people think we all
just sit here and rub a stand nominations to come across our
(06:11):
desk, but sure, you nothing could be further from the truth.
No, there's a reason we have extensive backgrounds, yet
conducted investigations, made aprocedure that will be put on
full display in this hearing. And frankly, son, there's a few
items in your background we'd like to get clarity upon before
rendering a decision on the nomination of possible
(06:32):
advancement to the Senate for final vote.
You OK with that there, son? Senator, I'm happy to provide
any clarity or answers this committee may ask of me.
You're well then. Well, let me lay out the
mechanics of how this will work today.
There'll be one round of questions.
Each center will have 20 minutes, which is twice as long
(06:53):
as we normally allocate for these questions.
But given the importance of thishearing, these remain within you
a lot of time. You know what I'm talking to
over there. Now, the matter of the
nomination. Bass Marlow to position of the
US Marshall District, 9 to 5. Does anybody seek recognition to
speak on Mr. Marlowe's nomination?
Mr. Chairman. Ranking Member Senator Tillis.
(07:17):
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Supervisory Deputy
Marlowe, for being with us, evenif it's only by video call.
I want to express my gratitude for your more than two decades
of service with the United States Marshals.
You've helped protect our communities by finding and
arresting dangerous people, and you've helped safeguard federal
(07:37):
officials, including those of ushere today.
I do feel it's important to say kindly that asking you to go
through this hearing seems unnecessary given the record
you've built, your long years ofservice, the many awards and
commendations you've received, more than any other nominee I've
seen already speak for themselves.
(07:59):
Deputy Marlowe, I can't speak for every member of this
committee, but I feel I should apologize for the burden of this
process. And I only have one simple
question for you. If your nomination is confirmed
and you're appointed to a four year term, will you continue to
serve with the same dedication and care you've shown over these
past 24 years? Ranking Member Tillis, and thank
(08:24):
you for your words and your compliments.
I will disagree that testifying here today in these chambers is
an embarrassment. Well, I appreciate the intent
and sincerity of the apology. It is my duty not only as a
Deputy Marshall, not only as an employee United States
government, but also as an American to peer and ensure
whatever questions you and your constituents may have of me are
(08:45):
answered. All law enforcement officials
depend upon the trust of citizenry.
Personally, I feel we in this profession don't always take
this to heart. So any chance I'm given to help
earn that trust for my profession, I will do so.
To answer your question on my deliveries as AUS Marshall, if
appointed, my answer would be noSenator.
(09:06):
If appointed, I'll be expected to work even harder than before,
and this I will do. I've already cautioned this
gallery once. Trust me, people won't.
I say they will not be 1/3 time.Does the Ranking Member yield
the remainder of his allotted time?
Mr. Chairman, I yield the remainder of my allotted time.
(09:30):
Well, Senator Winston? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Mr. Marlow, for beinghere today.
I'd like to ask you about an incident I read about last week.
I'm referring to your time on the Pacific Southwest Regional
Fugitive Task Force, the shooting of Khalil McConnell.
Deputy Marshall, please recount how you and the strike team
(09:53):
learned of Mr. McConnell's presence in the City of Eugene,
OR July of 2013. Happy to do so, Senator.
My team and I received information from a source that
Mister Kayla Makana wanted for failure to appear warrants and
pending murder and assault charges was in the area we were
conducting our fugitive retrieval operations.
The source was able to provide aspecific address where he was
(10:16):
staying. Who was this source?
It was a confidential informant.One of the other US Marshals
based in Eugene area worked withhim regularly.
His name was Pearson if I recallcorrectly.
This Pearson was a reliable informant.
Senator, I was not directly connected to him, but from what
(10:37):
the Deputy Marshall who was toldme, the Intel he provided was
usually reliable. Usually, not always.
Senator, I have no reason to doubt my fellow Deputy Marshall,
who was familiar with the informant, and if he said the
information could be trusted, itwas good enough for me to act
upon. This criminal informant of
(10:59):
yours, I'm sorry, I do apologize.
You testified he wasn't your criminal informant, but your
fellow deputy marshals. What did you decide to do with
this second hand account from a person whose title included the
word criminal? Mr. Chairman, I object to
(11:20):
Senator Winston's tone and move that this question be stricken
from the record. Could you rephrase the question,
Senator Winston? Happily, Mr. Chairman, Deputy
Marlowe, with the information provided by the criminal
informant, how did you and the team choose to use it?
Senator, we reported the information to the operations
(11:42):
commander and a decision was made to consider it actionable.
We were granted permission to conduct a surveillance operation
of the address we were provided.Information from the
aforementioned criminal informant.
Yes, Senator, that is correct. So you conducted surveillance on
the home you were told he'd be? I believe in the vernacular it's
(12:05):
called a stakeout. And did you locate him?
Senator, we did identify him in the course of the surveillance
operation. Right.
I did forget a question I had. What did the criminal informant
receive for this information he gave to your group?
What was the quid to his pro quo?
Senator, I believe he had pending charges.
(12:27):
He was facing a misdemeanor charge of being in receipt of
stolen goods, a nonviolent criminal offense.
OK, OK, I got a better picture now.
So you see your suspect and you have a warrant for his arrest.
Yes, Senator, we did several. So you charged him and put him
(12:50):
in custody. No, Senator.
By the time we've established positive identification of Mr.
McConnell, he was just entering a third party's home.
While it was a known drug pad, we had no warrant enter those
premises. As per Stagrad versus United
States in 1981, an arrest warrant alone does not allow
police to enter a third party's home.
(13:10):
So we called back to the office and asked a federal magistrate
who was on standby to issue sucha warrant.
You received the warrant and then went in?
No Senator, as we were awaiting the approved and signed warrant
to be delivered, the team and I witnessed a car stop in front of
the house. 2 male suspects came out and we're bringing a young
(13:31):
female with them and against herwill she fought the two males as
much as she could, screaming no and let me go and did not appear
to be going willingly with them.Because she was yelling at them.
That is what you base the assumption upon, that she wasn't
a willing participant. Yes Senator, for that reason and
(13:53):
due to the fact they kept assaulting her about the head
and face. Also one of the men produced a
handgun and pistol whipped her with it.
The same individual told her to be quiet or she regretted in not
exactly those words. After seeing this take place and
the two entering the house with the woman, we agreed we had
sufficient evidence for an exigent search.
(14:15):
And for the gallery participants, if you'd please,
an exigent search is. When circumstances such as if
officers perceive imminent threat to life or property or
risk evidence being destroyed, or if a suspect being chased
runs into a home. In those instances, and if we
(14:36):
believe another reasonable officer would also find it
urgent to act, we can enter a residence or place without a
warrant. My allotted time is running
short here, Deputy, so let me summarize events coming from the
report you filed. You and the team called the
assault in, entered the house, shot an unarmed individual.
(14:56):
Immediately upon entering, A shootout with barricaded
suspects commenced, including the one you were originally
there for. When the dust settled, every
occupant of that house, including the woman you saw
being forced inside, was dead. Only the US Marshall team was
standing. Deputy, when did the warrant you
(15:20):
requested, the one before you saw the woman being taken
inside, finally arrive? O 240 hours, Senator.
And remind us, at what time did your team enter the residence?
Senator, it was O 235 hours. 5 minutes. 5 minutes to have a
(15:41):
proper warrant, perhaps an additional local city officer or
two for backup. Don't you believe the
circumstances could have been different if a modicum of
caution was being displayed? Senator, with respect, nobody
can know what could have been with accuracy.
It may have still gone the exactsame way, or it could have been
(16:02):
worse and Marshalls could have been killed.
There is no way for me to predict the future.
Well, sadly, we won't ever know.And Yolanda Perkins, who was
there against her will and was shot in the crossfire, will also
never know. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My time is up. Senator Kelsey, you're up.
(16:24):
Let's keep this train moving, people.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Ranking Member
Tillis. Deputy Marshall.
Was the account we just heard fully investigated by multiple
agencies and wasn't the full Marshall team found not to be at
fault? That is correct, Senator.
Very good. Moving on now to your fugitive
(16:45):
apprehension of Deccan O'Sullivan AKA the Omaha
Leprechaun on June 2011 in Cincinnati, OH.
Took him into custody that same evening.
Murphy's Pub in Clifton Heights section of Cincinnati.
I have to ask Deputy, why was hecalled the leprechaun?
(17:07):
Senator Mr. O'Sullivan, in addition to being a member of
the Real IRA and being the number one wanted fugitive of
the Police Service of Northern Ireland for his involvement in
the 1998 Omaha bombing. He stands at 5 foot 3 inches
tall. He was given a name by the media
after his description was made public.
He despised it, would often get into fights when somebody made a
(17:28):
reference to his height, which given his thick bro, was often
inevitable. I see.
Thank you for explaining, Deputy.
Please continue with the events after his arrest.
O'Sullivan wasn't difficult to detain as he was very
intoxicated at the time. We were more concerned with the
local college kids who were unhappy with us extracting what
(17:49):
they had come to see as the pub's drunken unofficial mascot.
We had secured him and drove back the police station #2 by
the Ohio River on the Kentucky Ohio State line.
He refused to speak to anybody until he could meet with the
Consulate General's Office of Ireland.
In Cincinnati. Senator, we believed it to be
(18:09):
nothing more than a delay tacticourselves.
Mr. O'Sullivan was wanted in Ireland, England, Wales, France,
Spain and also managed to have ared notice on him from Interpol.
The Marshals were there to servea provisional US arrest warrant
for extradition based on the UK court warrant we had.
After his processing, we placed Mr. O'Sullivan in protective
(18:30):
custody and isolation in the federal safe house nearby.
It was the evening after his arrest that he was removed from
the US Marshals protective custody.
The report reads one second. Mr. O'Sullivan was handcuffed to
a bed where he was sleeping. When the electricity to the
house was interrupted, a concussion distraction device
(18:51):
was thrown into the room next door where 4 marshals were
sitting. It discharged.
An entry was made from an unknown team who extracted and
removed leprechaun from our custody.
In the initial moments of entry,shots were fired from the
marshals at the door and to the house.
Returned fire was experienced and in process I was shot in the
(19:12):
left outer thigh, momentarily incapacitating me, so Mr.
O'Sullivan was freed by this team.
Senator, that is correct that hewas freed, but what we later
learned was that the entry team,as we suspected, was in fact a
loan operator. I'm sorry, let me just.
OK, so a single man is placed into a federal safe house,
(19:35):
protected and cloaked from general public knowledge.
They located the room the fugitive was in, temporarily
rendered ineffective, 5 United States Deputy Marshals shooting
you in the process, and successfully made it out with
the fugitive. Senator, it wasn't a male, it
was a female. So you and your team were beat
(20:00):
up by a girl. Senator, it'd be more accurate
to say myself and my team were bested by a highly trained woman
who was working with the BritishMI 6 as well as AUS Defense
Intelligence Agency, who also had the element of surprise and
potentially inside information at her disposal.
So then you were sucker punched by a girl.
(20:22):
Forgive me. A woman.
This Agent Jocelyn. Bauer I would not describe in
those exact words, Senator, but yes, Agent Fowler was
responsible and later managed toget O'Sullivan out of the
country and to London. Well, thank you, Deputy
Marshall, for the Enlightenment.Mr. Chairman, I yield the rest
(20:42):
of my lifetime. Thank you.
All right, it's now 12:45 and I don't know about the rest of
you, but I need a pallet cleanser after everything we've
absorbed this morning. This committee will suspend for
lunch two hours and reconvene at2:45 to continue with the
interview of the nominee. Committee is in recess.
(21:05):
The Chair of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Victor Hawks
has issued A2 hour pause of proceedings to allow for a meal
break. Here we see the committee
members exiting chambers along with the feed of the nominee
being suspended. To recap the morning's
proceedings, Deputy Marshall Marlow was questioned on his
qualifications in history with the Marshall's office and in
relation to his nomination to become the first US Marshall of
(21:28):
Antarctica, what would be the 95th Federal District of the
United States. The questioning was extremely
confrontational and was held to party lines, as had been
expected by analysis. Even for a moment they wouldn't
be able to pull away at this point.
I mean it would look really bad on them.
(21:48):
Yeah, I'm not sure either though.
Man. Tell us what?
What's the name said again? Miss Kirkland said the press
secretary and the president's advisors were watching
proceedings and nobody was happy.
They said my remaining calm and collected against the pointed
question was making me look weakand unapologetic.
They said I wasn't following thescript they had given me.
(22:10):
That's just some bullshit. Sorry, Kendra.
Sorry, Lord. I only got one more today.
Well, if anything, it sounded like you were being cool in the
gang and not letting them get toyou.
Wouldn't take the bait man. Exactly my point.
From what I saw, they wanted to rattle your cage.
They were looking for any crack in your armor to exploit.
(22:31):
Did you see that one Senator Carlson sweating when he didn't
get a rise from you? Yes, sweetheart, I saw I was
there. You know what I mean, Bass?
If anything, I'm like, cannot believe the words about to come
out my mouth. But Franklin's legal advice on
answering seems to be keeping them guessing.
Yeah, yeah, I think it was afterabout an hour into, it occurred
(22:53):
to me that the script from the chief of staff's team would have
led me into three, maybe 4 verbal traps had I used them.
So there's no lingering down in my mind any longer.
The president's ordered me to beset up to lose frack him.
I don't, I won't. So I left and Preacher said
there ain't no rollover points on promises load so to read the
(23:17):
fine print. If my opinion counts for
anything, it. Counts for everything, as does
yours. Then I think you should go back
in there and keep doing what you're doing.
Use the strategy Franklin gave you.
I mean, OK, this is how I see it.
You use the prepared notes and the directions the White House
gave you, and you're sure to slip into quicksand as you try
(23:39):
to get out. They'll push you deeper and
deeper. Or stay off their scripts.
Stay with Franklin's coaching and keep them off guard their
way. You'll lose 100% our way.
You still have a fighting chance.
As much as he's been trying withthe media influencing and his
office of citizen morale, he's not winning any points with the
(23:59):
public and this is very much thecourt of public opinion you have
going for you. That is where you thrive, baby
boy. That's the public loves you.
You, the boy. In every news report leading up
to this has been nothing but excitement and positive.
These senators know this and they want to get the public
against you and all it's going to take is 1 outburst from you.
(24:21):
And like Doc James said they got.
Damn don't fall for that stuff. I got an hour before I have to
get back there. Just enough time for me to get.
Oh, hey there Marshall, don't you worry.
I went ahead and got your favorite breakfast all set up as
soon as I see how you'll walk in.
Now I know I'm supposed to be nice to everybody, but I don't
(24:46):
mind telling you after what I just saw on the TV while I was
sitting on my kitchen. Oh boy, I'm ready to give those
leader type folks a real piece of my mind, don't you know?
Darn Tooting A siree, Bob. Thank you, Miss Alice, and thank
you for your support. Well, don't think nothing of it,
dear. Please go ahead and sit down
now. All right, Zeke, Kendra, what
(25:09):
can I get you kids for breakfast?
And don't you go worrying. None of it ain't on the menu
this morning. I'll whip up anything.
Use choose one. Have to make sure your cheering
squad is just as bad as our Marshall here.
You're the best, Miss Alice. But I'm not actually feeling the
best this morning. My stomach is queasy.
It's probably from getting up at3:00 AM to watch Bass's hearing.
(25:33):
So I think just juice and toast for me today.
Uh huh. Well that's one grilled cheese
and tomato soup that you always order when you get anxious or
need a bit of feeling better. You are looking a bit flesh over
there. Oh, don't worry sweetheart, I
gotcha. I'll also bring some hot ginger
tea for your tummy. And what about you, new leader,
(25:53):
Mr. Bustamante? Honestly Miss Alice, I could go
with some grits and shrimp. Oh, I got you 2 dear 2 Reuben
sandwiches with extra Russian dressing and the spiciest BBQ
chips I have in the back. Special storage vanilla
milkshake with extra sprinkles. Well, I'll get these up for you
to Jeff. Does anybody else find it weird
(26:18):
when she knows what we really need, even when we don't chalk
it up to just one more mystery on the ice?
Extra sprinkles. Yeah.
Yeah, that's how Grandma Bee used to always do it.
She put on extra sprinkles any time when her grandkid just got
a whooping and a skin knee from playing outside.
(26:39):
So once you go throwing shade atmy sprinkles bash, Marlo give
you a good old ass whooping before you go back.
Oh, Dang it. I used the last one on your dump
rear end. Y'all.
You know I'll be off my game thewhole rest of the day.
See what you did. Thanks long man.
Gentlemen, maybe we should focusmore on the problems at hand.
(27:00):
I don't know, I have a fantasticbreakfast, literally my favorite
sitting in front of me. I have the woman I love helping
me out of my best friend who I got this slip from my own
amusement best. I have to say I'm feeling a lot
better already. Whatever man own Dang fault
she's been paying a bit of attention.
You. You've got this sweetie.
(27:22):
All you need to do is keep levelheaded.
Don't give him an inch and just be yourself.
I'm not sure I know how to be anybody else exactly.
Did Sally really say the president may have to distance
himself from you and. Not so many words.
Yes, yes she did. She was there to help.
Just don't believe any longer that it was me she was helping.
What A2 face all this time? She said she was going to be
(27:45):
there to help. Well, I know it ain't nothing
you believe in, but I'm going topray for you if we go back in
there because I don't want you thinking that only the evil
version of the afterlife has your back.
I appreciate that, Sprinkles. I'll take whatever I can get
right now. You know what?
It's going to be a real small prayer, too.
Hey, Zeke. Yeah.
(28:08):
Seriously. Thank you.
Yeah, man. Recording stopped I'm.
Not seeing anything else on the Dream Wax operation or the
resulting arrests made yourself very popular that day.
Deputy Marshall, I want to go back now to the original
investigation that brought you to the South Pole Station.
This says you've made an initialarrest in that murder, but that
(28:32):
individual was later released. So then Josh Nichols wasn't the
original suspect you had arrested for the murder of
Doctor Mark Rodney? No, Senator.
That was a gentleman named DavidBrewster, who we later
established had been framed by Mr. Nichols when he placed the
murder weapon in a crate Mr. Brewster last inspected.
According to this, David Brewster is 80 years old.
(28:54):
It was your opinion, as the Marshall of note, that this
elderly gentleman was able to overpower and kill somebody
almost 50 years younger than himand 100 lbs heavier.
Evidence and forensics show Doctor Rodney had been
bludgeoned from behind. Presumably he was not aware
anybody was there and was instantly knocked out.
Struck in the proper location onthe head was sufficient enough
force and the object of heft. I assure that it is possible.
(29:17):
Even after his defense counsel proved he physically couldn't
have been the one who tried to murder you after commencing an
investigation of Doctors Rodney murder, that still wasn't
enough. Senator, I admit that after
Leader review, while I was confident he wasn't the one who
threw the chemical soaked rag inmy room in the attempt on my
life, it didn't necessarily alsomean he was innocent of the
(29:40):
Rodney murder. Although I will admit the time I
began having serious doubts regarding his alleged guilt.
So when the arrest of the propersuspect was made of Josh
Nichols, it was with. Proper evidence?
Yes, Senator. He was caught accessing
restricted data and attempting to send it to the Chinese
Embassy in Wellington, New Zealand.
(30:01):
We set up a trap which we knew the guilty culprit would act
upon. Mr. Nichols was apprehended
after starting an uploaded data as well as having a concealed
weapon which was the same in design and construction as the
murder weapon used on Doctor Mark Rodney.
OK. The search the.
TRAP and the arrests were all authorized with the proper
paperwork authorized by my superiors.
(30:22):
Yes Senator. However, because Munson Scott is
federally funded complex, the laptops used federally owned and
the sleeping birds federally provided there was no
requirements secure require a search warrant.
Well, I suppose we should be happy that one worked out in
your favor. So he was arrested and you're
escorting him back to McMurdo Station to be handed over to US
(30:43):
Marshals who'd take him back to the US for formal sentencing.
But your plane crashed on route.The NTSB here says it was a
mechanical failure. The the bottles that assisted
takeoff didn't eject and fell into an engine mid flight.
Yes, Senator, that was what I was told as well.
However, later investigations ofmine showed deliberate sabotage
(31:04):
to ensure the drugs that have been stored on the plane were
not able to make it to America. Ah yes, sabotaged by this Chaz
Wilford who you shot during a hostage standoff in his in a
coma. Also, who the Department of
Energy say they've never heard of.
(31:25):
Back to the plane crash. In your report, it says the
plane broke into and the survivor set to create a rescue
plan. Did I include the murder suspect
Josh Nichols as well? Senator, before, during and
after the crash, Josh Nichols was handcuffed and restrained
due to the threat that he had caused.
After learning the emergency handheld radio was damaged and
(31:45):
with Mr. Nichols being the only one of us who could repair it, I
impressed upon him the need to work with us to achieve the
rescue. So who shot him in the arm?
No, Senator. I grazed him in the arm to limit
the back and forth and secure his cooperation as our fuel
supplies to burn wood and stay alive.
We're depleting. Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm having
trouble understanding what I'm reading.
(32:07):
OK, so the plane crashed. Yes, Senator, that is correct.
Everybody survived the wrecked, only you sustained any injury.
Yes, Senator, that is correct. After the crash, Mr. Nichols was
handcuffed and had shackles. On yes, Senator, that is
correct. And you needed his help to
repair the emergency radio to effect a rescue.
(32:29):
Yes, Senator, that is also correct.
So to encourage his help, I'm sorry you shot an unarmed,
handcuffed suspect in the arm. No Senator, that is not entirely
accurate. I continue to stand by my
official submitted report which states I winged him to ensure
time, energy and heat, which we had limited amounts of, weren't
(32:50):
wasted on what I assume would behis mind games in reaching some
agreement. I had four other lives to think
about. Oh, you shot him in the arm?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.You pointed your agency issued
firearm at him and nicked his arm to enlist his assistance.
Yes, Senator, that is correct. During a high risk tactical
(33:13):
operation, marshals on fugitive task forces, witness protection
or special OPS may discharge weapons in scenarios where
threats are present but not yet life threatening.
I determined be this such a scenario.
Later he attacked you and he escaped wherein you pursued him
to the ends of the Cliff face estimated to be about 700 feet
to the ground below and he jumped rather than face
(33:33):
rearrest. That is how the events took
place. Yes, Senator, He.
Jumped in little cold weather, protective clothing, no food, no
gear in the middle of winter season -90° off a mountain.
Yes, Senator, that too is correct.
Jeez. And he disappeared until he was
(33:55):
seen nine months later attendingthe Nobel award ceremony on
international television. Yes, Senator, I'm not able to
explain how that occurred, so. We're being asked to vote on a
nominee who shot an unarmed man in handcuffs in custody, who
then escaped not once but twice,and beyond all possible odds was
(34:16):
wearing an Armani tuxedo in Stockholm.
Almost a year later, Mr. Chairman, my time has almost
expired, so I'll go ahead and yield.
Oh, oh, sorry, Deputy Marshall. What happened to the drugs that
had been stowed on the plane youwere on and crashed?
Senator, a few months after the crash, the NTSB, accompanied by
(34:38):
agents with the DEA and FBI, arrived on sea and discovered
there had been a recovery operation by individuals
unknown. Thank you for enlighten us all,
Deputy Marshall Marlow. Mr. Chairman, now I formally
yield my remaining time. There will be order on this
chambers. All right, this is going to
(35:01):
happen. I've just been given information
which was provided to this committee and pertains to these
proceedings. I believe it requires comment
from the nominee in this session.
However, as we will need time toreview this information as well
as several members on this committee have conflicting
meetings later today, they must attend now.
(35:23):
I'm suspending this proceeding until 9:00 AM tomorrow morning,
where we will reconvene. Not only do I want to discuss
this new information with you, Deputy Marshall, but also
because we still have final closing remarks and proper
adjournment to go through. Members of this committee are
expected to clear their calendars tomorrow to make this
a priority. Then enough dilly dallying
(35:44):
already tomorrow. We are an adjournment until
tomorrow, at which time you'll be called to the stand to help
us understand troubling information about the light on
your wife's passing, investigation afterwards, and
support from the Marshall Service since then, after which
we'll be more than ready to voteupon the nomination in advance
for the Senate. This meeting is adjourned until
(36:05):
9:00 AM tomorrow. There's no secret that I was
suffering afterwards, and I'm sure there's no shortage of
rumors flying around that I was only there due to being Chuck's
(36:26):
son-in-law. None of that ever bothered me,
and it still doesn't, but I haveto believe they know.
But you said how you were dealing with your wife's with
Diane and the baby's death wasn't known to anybody other
than Chuck and Fiona. As far as I know, there wasn't
anybody else aware. Hell, most of those 20 years I
(36:46):
wasn't aware due to my Somebody must have found out.
Regardless if it was 5 or 15 or last week, somebody knows?
You're positive nobody the Senate is staff would have
interviewed about your past, would have been aware of your
prolonged grief disorder or dissociative coping?
(37:06):
No, I can't be positive anythinganymore.
Fiona's the only living person I'm sure would have been aware
and she wouldn't have said anything under any
circumstances. OK, let's take a breath here.
Just just because they want to talk about Diane and the
investigation doesn't necessarily mean that they are.
Wake up already, Kendra, they know, and I'm about to lose it
(37:27):
all. Bass, we can fix this and we'll
face it together, all of us. But please don't snap at the
people who are trying to help you, especially me.
Right. You're right, Kendra.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry for jumping down your throat.
Sorry, Franklin. None of this is having enough.
(37:50):
It isn't supposed to be happening this way.
What do you mean, Franklin? Ohio.
Sorry, I meant that I reviewed all the files and answers Bass
gave the Senator staffers. None of those files or responses
would have. Provided any insight into how
(38:11):
Javert here was coping with the loss something new?
Happened. Bass, you said at the very end
of the questioning, some young Gopher or staffer came in with a
note. Yeah.
He she they handed it to the Senator Hawks.
(38:32):
Yes. What was his reaction?
Glee and self-serving delight, I'm sure.
No, really bass. Think, really think.
You saw him. Take the note.
Read the note. I bet he looked up and looked at
you, didn't he? Probably Franklin.
(38:53):
Try think back. He's smirking.
Right side of his face. Oh, come on, Deputy.
You're a trained interrogator. You read human body language and
facial expressions better than anyone I know.
I've seen you do it. Think think back, you can get
(39:16):
more. Than that.
He's smirking, like I said. He looks quickly to his left,
over to Senator Kenzie, I think,licks his upper lip and then
looked at me. This.
Tells you what? Franklin, I'm a little stressed
here. I've barely slept my entire
career. My entire life is coming
(39:37):
unravelled. If they have what I fear they
have, then my actions will have taken down Charlie's legacy that
he worked so hard to build, and Fiona will probably be ruined
and booted from the FBI. So if you know something, just
fucking say it. This is why everybody says
you're great at reading people but absolutely shit at poker.
(40:00):
Deputy Bass. He's bluffing.
Oh, he suspects. I'm sure he's putting together a
puzzle with no box picture to use as reference.
I was watching the entire hearing down here and even I
didn't see it until just now. Franklin.
Every time he thought himself orsomebody else was tripping you
(40:21):
up, he sat stone faced. He thought they had you for
sure, but with the hell of a devilish defense counsel, we
sidestepped. Elegantly, I may add.
Franklin. Franklin.
Right, right, right. Sorry.
When they thought they had you on shooting to wound nickels,
but you gave them the acceptableexception to the rule.
When they thought they might have you on the warrantless
search, but you cited exigent circumstances and an
(40:44):
understanding of Steagall versusUnited States ruling.
He licked his upper lip. He thought he had cornered you,
but now he wasn't sure. But but you're sure, Franklin,
you're sure he doesn't have anything?
Not 100% sure no, more like 98%.I'm formally declining the
(41:11):
nomination and resigning as AUS Deputy Marshall.
What? You both heard me.
It's over. They won.
Tried to fight the system, try to do what my heart said was the
right thing, to do the proper thing.
Now I'm now I've overstepped andI've got too confident and too
proud and I forgot how my actions could have consequences
(41:33):
on those I love and have lost. Javert, as much as I love the
smell of the sin of pride, you can't give up.
Sweetheart, I know it looks bad and OK.
I know you have emotions, a lot of emotions around this topic
that are still healing and raw. But to throw in the towel?
(41:53):
To surrender. That isn't the best Marlow I
know I've. Lost.
No, you're tired, that's all. You have them on the ropes and
they know it. They're going to the well of
desperation with something they were obviously just given.
And you, you heard Franklin. They're bluffing, trying to
rattle your cage. Stick to the plan, answer the
(42:17):
questions they ask honestly, anduse the answers I gave you.
If you get in a bind, they'll try to trip you up, but I'm
willing to bet they have not a damned thing I'm.
Not willing to make that gamble.I am shit at poker, remember,
and I won't gamble with the lives and reputations of anybody
else, no. Honey I.
(42:40):
Will you make me a promise? I know for a fact you always
keep your promises. Will you make one for me?
What's the promise? Go sleep on it.
Go back to your birth, drink, sleep, have phenomenal sex, all
of the above. Whatever you need to do to relax
(43:01):
a bit. Don't make any final decisions
until you hear back from me. If afterwards you think this is
what you want to do, then OK. But will you promise to give me
one chance? My plan?
BI Promise. Wonderful Doctor Jennings as a
fellow connoisseur of verdict. Impossible.
(43:22):
Remember the episode when the cartel drug Lord simply wanted
to retire from the narcos life and sing opera professionally?
What? Not the time, Franklin.
Just get him back to your birth.Plan B is going to take some
time to get set up and I need tostart now.
I may need right up to the last moment.
But Bass, I've never known you to give up before.
(43:47):
I'll be damned if you do so on my watch.
Now go. I have a lot of very long
distance calls to make. I hope I have roaming coverage.
You 2GO leave it to me. Lot to do and little time to do
it. Recording stopped.
(44:12):
G Span is not federally funded. We are supported by sponsors and
cable providers. Our program starts now.
Won't you please join us? Good morning.
Today is April 25th, 2023, and I'm Chad Underwood in our
(44:32):
Washington, DC office for G Span.
This is day three of the 118th Congress hearings on the
nomination submitted by President Bruce J Campbell.
Specifically, today's session will be a continuation of
Supervisory Deputy Marshall BassMarlow to become a fully sworn
United States Marshall. In a truly unprecedented turn of
events, this will be the longestconfirmation hearing of any
(44:55):
nominee selected to the posting of US Marshall, moving into its
second full day after new information was brought into
chambers yesterday afternoon andprovided to Senator Victor
Hawks. Indeed, the entire schedule for
today has been revised in preparation for another day of
testimony. After initial comments from the
chairman, a witness will be called into the chamber to
(45:15):
provide their information after being issued A subpoena.
Obviously, this has resulted in even more public and media
interest making headline news last evening and into today's
morning programs. Viewership, already at record
highs, is now expected to double.
Indeed, it could be said that the eyes of the world are
focused on Capitol Hill and today's.
Not I'll be sitting right over here, sweetheart, Right out of
(45:37):
the camera view. Whatever you decide, whatever
you feel is the proper thing, I hope you know I'll support you
and we'll always love you. Regardless of if it's staying
here or leaving the station, we do it together.
I got an e-mail earlier. They rearranged the docket for
today. Just like the G Span guy said,
they're going to bring somebody in to testify.
(45:58):
Not only are they opening another round of questions, but
it looks like they found somebody who knows the.
Truth about. Chuck and Fiona supported me and
how I dealt with Diane and the baby.
They really stacked the deck against me today, not taking any
chances. Does Franklin have anything yet?
Well, I went down there an hour ago to check and he was
(46:19):
frantically working on somethingin there, but he told me he'd
let me know when everything was set.
Honey, they're about to start. I think we're officially.
Oh man, they told me. Be the one I tell you.
Damn, I'm not sure, Zeke, buddy.Kind of the middle of my life
(46:42):
ending. No, no, no, no, no, man.
No. Look, Bass, you need to.
You need to trust frankly, what I know.
I know, right? They said if you heard that from
me, you know it's serious. Don't do nothing now.
(47:07):
We got you, man. Turning on telecom. 3.
Oh, Sarah 2, I got to go. Yeah, I gotta do some more
running. Supervisory Deputy US Marshall
Bass Marlowe has appeared on screen in chambers looking more
confused really than confident at first glance.
(47:27):
Honey, honey game face. Today will be a true test of his
abilities to win over the lawmakers as yesterday's session
had the Deputy Marshall answering very rough questions
and being on the defensive By the sound of the senators at the
conclusion of yesterday, it would seem today will be more of
the same. Senator Hawks and the committee
are being shown in and taking their places.
We're also hearing something of a gathering has started outside
(47:49):
the Senate building where supporters of Deputy Marlow have
gathered to show their support. The chairman is calling the
session to order. Let's listen in all.
Right, all right, let us come toorder people.
Again, I want to remind the gallery members depressed the
meetings were in the room. Time for acting up.
I want order in the quorum. I want you to act like you are
(48:11):
in a church, not the State Fair.OK, Good morning.
Ranking Member Tillis, Members of the committee, thank you for
ensuring we had time for today'sproceedings.
This is continuing the nomination review of Supervisor
Deputy Bass Wyatt Marlow, UnitedStates Marshall, to a Marshall
position. I want to thank you, Marlow, for
(48:35):
returning, thanking the members of this committee who burned the
midnight oil last night to get today's schedule shuffled around
and up to and including Pristine's after nominee Malo
session. Today should be quiet and
interesting day. We're going to be digging into
some truths that might be hard to hear.
People go to sea and even harderto swallow.
(48:57):
I have ever confidence that by the end of today's hearing,
we'll have the proper unjust outcome.
Now, Ranking Member Tillis beingon the other side of the
political aisle, I'm sure you prepared open remarks of your
own regard to the nominee, Senator Tillis.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I also thank you, Mr. Marlowe, for
(49:18):
returning today. It is my hope that I got to meet
you in person one day, young man.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and with that, I yield the rest of
my time. Now, I just got done telling you
people to keep it zipped. Senator, tell us, Are you sure
(49:39):
those are the words that you don't on the record?
Yes, Mr. Chairman, that is my intent.
All right then, as you want it, I'm going to actually make lunch
on time today after all, moving ahead, we have our witness who
will be. Oh, we're on.
(50:06):
We're on now. Oh, splendid.
Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Distinguished members of the
Judiciary Committee. I understand I've been asked to
testify today regarding the nomination of Supervisory Deputy
Marshall Bass Wyatt Marlowe. But first, let's acknowledge the
elephant in the room, or rather the cat on the screen.
(50:27):
It seems my Zoom call has decided to embellish my
appearance with this curious little filter.
I I have tried, quite sincerely to remove it and yet some masks
refuse to come off. Now, before anyone grows
concerned, let me offer this reassurance.
(50:47):
I am, despite appearances, not apussy.
This is completely unacceptable and outside a poor call.
Point of procedure, Mr. Chairman.
Senator Buxton. Mr. Chairman, I direct your
attention to the approved schedule.
The individual before us is Mr. Cohen, attorney at Law.
(51:12):
I will send information that Mister Cohen has information
important and germane to these hearings.
His extensive knowledge of information in cases the nominee
has been asked and responded to,including cases he worked
directly with Supervisory DeputyMarshall Marlow.
Thus, it makes his testimony both relevant and necessary.
(51:32):
I want that that mask he's got there removed immediately get it
on. Oh, Mr. Chairman, some things
cannot be undone, but I assure you we are doing everything
possible to get this pussy off my face.
I remind you what you are, counselor.
(51:53):
You want to testify, fine, but we are swearing you in now.
You solemnly swear the testimonyyou will give before this
committee on the Judiciary of the United States Senate will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help
you God. Mr. Chairman, I always tell the
truth. It's just that I know far more
(52:14):
of it than others. I do so swear this really is
Franklin's time to shine. All right before us is a
Franklin Cohen Defense Council license to practice.
(52:37):
The hell are you doing back here?
Very good. Mr. Chairman, such an
appropriate pun of a question. You know why I'm here.
But if we must put on a show, let's at least go through the
motions, shall we? I am here because I was asked.
And when old, old friends need aword, I find it unwise to ignore
(53:04):
them. Besides, it's been so long since
we've all had a proper chat. To answer your question, I am
here as a character witness for Deputy Marshall Bass Marlow.
Who subpoenaed you? Subpoenaed.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That would have required formal
service, which is quite impossible, giving that I'm at
(53:26):
the same remote station as Deputy Marshall Marlow.
Instead, I received a kind and irresistible request from none
other than the senator, Zuri Buxton, after my urgent e-mail
to her. So generous.
Really, Zuri? If I'm not mistaken, I do
believe that is the Swahili wordfor beautiful.
(53:48):
Love the power dress suit. Senator Buxton, Mary Meryl
Streep, Devil Wears Prada vibe you've pulled off.
Kudos to Youdos, Madam Senator. And what exactly you wish to
testify to, Councillor? Ah, finally we arrive at
Franklin's time to shine. I have known Deputy Marshall
(54:11):
Marlow since his arrival on thisstation two years ago.
In my capacity as legal counsel and let's call it what it is, a
humble purveyor of order, I assisted in the investigation
and eventual arrest of 1 Mr. Joshua Nichols, who as you well
know was responsible for the first homicide on this
continent. The first stain of non so
(54:34):
proverbial blood on the ice, as it were.
Of course, I also worked alongside Marlowe in dismantling
the designer drug pipeline flowing through this research
facility. You remember that, don't you,
Mr. Chairman? Good senators of this committee,
the voters whom you represent more so than at any point in
(54:55):
time in this nation, are lookingfor their better angels.
I happen to know a few things about angels.
They don't dwell in the heavens above.
They won't be found in storybooks or in theaters or
television. They walk amongst you.
You have a prime example, testifying here before you in
(55:16):
these chambers. Supervisory Deputy US Marshall
Bass Marlowe is one of those individuals, A gentleman who is
utterly beyond reproach. Franklin, what is your game?
Jerry, you never change. I do enjoy a good game, a game
(55:37):
of chance, of wits, of careful stakes.
But what I do not enjoy is when the house is rigged, when the
cards were marked before the hand was even dealt.
And when that happens, you don'tplay the hat.
Goodness gracious. No, you change the dealer.
(55:59):
Ah, but yes, let's let's talk about games, shall we?
Tempe, AZ 1970s Senator Rockwell, I assure you, Deputy
Marshall has never frequented those establishments.
Poplar Bluff, MO Senator Kitchener, No such shady real
(56:21):
estate deals with bilking partners in his property
portfolio. Missouri Dreadful place.
Foreign donations tucked into neat little offshore accounts.
Senator Newcomb, I can personally confirm Marlowe's
books are cleaner than others. And Phuket, Thailand.
(56:42):
Senator Winston, you won't find young underage lads in seedy
hotels from glass. Marlowe's history.
No, esteemed members of this committee, there are no dead
bodies in his closet or under a summer home in the Hamptons.
(57:04):
No. Now, how about yours?
Ah, and there it is, that feeling the moment a person
realizes they are well and trulyseen.
(57:25):
So, oh, shall we continue? Or would you rather discuss the
real matters before us? What's the problem, Senators?
Does my avatar have your tongue?Oh my, my, this is fun.
(57:45):
A regular barrel of hairless apes?
Or is the same monkeys I always forget?
No, no matter. So any more questions for me?
Mr. Chairman, according to the day's agenda, it appears you had
information to provide regardingthe nominee's history.
(58:07):
I'd like to suggest we forego that and move on to a formal
vote. Seconded.
You cannot second a motion counselor.
However, I can and happily do I second.
Motion on the floor and 2nd it is to proceed direct to a vote.
Does anybody want to say any closing words?
(58:30):
Mr. Chairman. Big surprise under Buxton.
Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member andcolleagues of this committee, I
rise today to speak plainly because the people I represent
don't have time for political games or self-serving theatrics.
We are not here to put on a show.
(58:50):
We are here to determine whetherSupervisory Deputy US Marshall
Bass Wyatt Malow is the right man to carry the badge and the
burden of service in our nation's 95th District.
Now let's get something straight.
This nominee ain't some paper pusher looking for a promotion.
Deputy Marlowe is the ICE Sheriff known across this
(59:12):
country and across the globe forputting his life on the line
when most folks would have turned away.
He didn't just crack a case, he dismantled the so-called Chinese
Dream pipeline, shutting down billions and let me say that
again, billions in poison headedfor our streets.
He has stared down fugitives, traffickers, hostage takers and
(59:35):
terrorists and time and time again he brought people home
safe. Colleagues, I listened as some
here tried to twist his actions to take honorable service and
turn it into scandal. They want to harp on a 5 minute
window between a warrant and an extension entry, or reduce his
(59:56):
sacrifice in the South Pole plane crash to a footnote.
But I want you to hear what the American people already know.
Bass Marlowe didn't wait on comfort.
He didn't wait on politics. He acted.
He protected lives. And when it meant putting his
own body, his own reputation on the line, he did it anyway.
(01:00:20):
I also took note, Mr. Chairman, that when pressed on whether he
thought himself worthy of this honor, Bass Marlowe didn't puff
out his chest or Polish his metals.
He simply said, I let my record speak for itself.
That humility, that groundness, paired with the most decorated
service record before this committee today, that is exactly
(01:00:44):
the kind of leadership this country is crying out for.
And let's be real, the public already sees it.
They see a man who cannot be rattled by gotcha questions or
partisan baiting. They see someone who embodies
the principle that law enforcement isn't about ego,
it's about trust. That's why people packed into
(01:01:06):
these hearings. That's why they call him the ICE
Sheriff. Because he is steady, he is
fair, and he is unflinching. So my colleagues may posture,
they may bluster, but when the dust settles, the truth stands.
Supervisory Deputy Marshall BassWyatt Marlowe is not just
(01:01:28):
qualified, he is the very model of what a United States Marshall
should be. I urge this committee to do
right by the people, do right bythe badge, and advance his
nomination without delay. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I yield. Great.
(01:01:50):
We'll move to voice of vote. All those approving the
nominations say aye. Aye.
Aye, aye aye. Those opposed say nay.
Any abstentions. Nominee carries by unanimous
(01:02:10):
vote. Then again, in no abstentions,
we're a John. Hi Brian Bradley, your creator
