mrs. ramirez: on our first homeland security committee hearing, professor bowman made it clear that policy differences are not a legitimate basis for impeachment. there is no legitimate basis for impeachment, yet here we are. why? republicans believe persecution is a substitute for policy making. when you can't legislate, you punish, right? persecution has been a go-to, and omar, tlaib and mccarthy, government employees and immigrants and now secretary mayorkas. persecution and punishment does not solve problems. republicans are not interested in policy. they shut us down and killed a supplemental they have negotiated for months. they are deflecting attention from their failure to govern to secure their own re-election. if you are serious, the root cause of migration and ep fentanyl. clearly we are not. mr. thompson: yield 15g seconds. mrs. ramirez: we are not serious about solutions, just chaos. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from tennessee is recognized. m

mrs. pelosi: when people ask me, "are you afraid of what might happen?" i say, "no, because of the goodness of the american people, the strength of our democracy, we will prevail." and my motto is, "the flag is still there." francine: she's been the face of her party for a generation, spending two decades as a top house democrat. nancy pelosi made history when she became the first female speaker in 2007. until recently, the most powerful woman in u.s. politics. she's also faced years of attacks from republicans, a campaign that escalated under former president donald trump. mrs. pelosi: we have an aberration in our country right now, but hopefully that won't last too much longer. but nonetheless, we still have to strive for unity. sometimes you achieve it, sometimes you don't. but we have a responsibility to act in a bipartisan, unifying, transparent, accountable way. francine: in this episode of "leaders with lacqua," i traveled to venice, where nancy pelosi was a special guest at the dvf

mr. langworthy: -- mr. langworthy: madam speaker, the american people are sick and tired of the new status quo on our nation's borders. i'm absolutely appalled and disgusted that president biden and democrats running sanctuary cities have yet to take any real action after the recent and violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants. namely the murder of lincoln riley in georgia. we must take action now to end the reckless open border and sanctuary policies before it's too late for another american family. laken riley's murder was entirely preventible. jose entered the united states illegally last year. and was given a one-way ticket to new york city. where he was subsequently arrested for child endangerment. then because of liberal bail reform laws in new york, he was released back on to the streets and not held behind bars. new york's bail reform has shattered lives not just in new york, but now in the state of georgia. and now the mayor of athens wants to gas light the american people and claim that ther

mrs. kim: i thank mr. moran for his leadership on this legislation and i urge the passage of h.r. 4039 and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 4039 as amended. those in favor, say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california seek recognition? mrs. kim: madam speaker, i move the house suspend the rules and pass h.r. 533 as amended. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 533 a bill to amend the tibet an policy act of 2022. pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from california and the gentlewoman from north carolina each will control 20 minutes. mrs. kim: i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and

mr. meeks: so mr. ambassador, in your own belief, do you believe that president biden's completion of the u.s. withdrawal of afghanistan in 2021 was necessary to protect american lives? ambassador: certainly american lives in afghanistan in terms of military forces, yes. chairman: the chair now recognizes mr. wolfeson. [ mr. wilson. mr. wilson: it's time to appreciate the success of the american military for 20 years they stopped terrorist attacks in our country. so as people look back, we should appreciate the success of the american military, very personal to me, my former national guard unit, the 218th mechanized military led by general bob livingston served for a year across afghanistan and developed great affection for their afghan brothers. i was there four times and seen first hand the success of what they were doing. i'm grateful my youngest son, first lieutenant hunter wilson was an engineer serving with the army guard for a year in afghanistan. it's very personal to me the absolute disgust i

mr. nekonam and mr. khatir, finally a solution to go away from what happened between them and is there a margin between them or not? mr. farshid semini, a member of the board of directors of esteghlal club of tehran , is present in the studio to continue this discussion. mr. sami, welcome . dear, especially the fans of esteghlal football team, the proudest iranian team in the asian continent, sir, we want to speak clearly, first of all, let's move the discussion forward, and then esteghlal fans have this expectation to see what happened between their head coach and ceo, and why it happened like this and why it is not resolved. and the first sentence i wanted to say is that you told us that you threatened a few fans , why did they come in front of the door? the document that is presented is a screenshot, and now there is a picture of the phone screen that was sent as an sms, and i don't know about it, so let's go to the discussion, sir, because we are supposed to speak clearly , there is a

[indiscernible] >> ok. and mr. floyd has decided what? miss tkpwros. >> it sounds like it's a deliberate choice for him not to be here this morning. and certainly was here yesterday. if he joins later. >> i agree. i haven't heard anything else from mr. morrison or any other counsel. is there anything we need to take up before resuming testimony here? >> thank you, your honor. yesterday the state had asked that yeartie, held in case we needed to recall. i let her attorney know last night that we don't intend to recall her. as far as the state's concerned i know she got the note from the other side. there was -- >> miss merchant. can we excuse miss yeartie? >> i talked to her attorney last night and said we had a different conversation. i think

>> yes , mr speaker , mr speaker, >> yes, mr speaker, mr speaker, mr speaker . >> yes, mr speaker, mrs >> yes, mr speaker, mr speaker, mr speaker . this afternoon the mr speaker. this afternoon the house will have an opportunity to consider its approach to the situation in israel and gaza . situation in israel and gaza. >> our position is crystal clear . we have called and will always call for an immediate humanitarian pause , which would humanitarian pause, which would allow the safe release of hostages and more aid going into gaza to create the conditions for a genuinely sustainable ceasefire. but just calling for an immediate full ceasefire now, which collapses it back into fighting in days or weeks, would not be in anyone's interest. mr speaken not be in anyone's interest. mr speaker, we are committed not just to an immediate humanitarian pause, but also to finding a lasting resolution to this conflict which delivers on the promise of a two state solution and ensures that israelis and palestinians can live in the future with dignity and security. michael long, thank you, mr speake

mr. daei, mr. khakpour, we have another one , mr. qaidi, mr. qaidi, who was not seen at all in the last two games, but they see these gentlemen who they don't see mr. qaidi in the statistics, but he sees qaida , which means that the statistics they give are effective when you use them during competitions . technical problem. we also had a technical problem here, and this is how it happened. let me give you an example. we have two lively players and two senders, and then one more person will be added. we brought long line players. it is interesting that our forwarders, mr. ramin rezaian and mr. haj safipour, who wants to go out, so mr. elhovi said that ramin rezaian's body did not respond , and joanbakhsh was supposed to do this. the information about him is wrong. he is one of the most effective players in running, especially in the first game, or if he has statistics , he is the highest. in fact, he ran 14 kilometers in the game against syria . i think he ran 14 kilometers, then you did not kill him. in fact, the deception is self- inflicted,

[indiscernible] mr.effries: it's a conversation we'll have to have as part of a family discussion and we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. reporter: [indiscernible] mr. jeffries: we have to evaluate the substance of the legislation before we decide the best procedural course of action. reporter: [indiscernible] mr. jeffries: republicans overall have failed on the question of the state and local tax deduction. let's remember how this journey started. 2017, republicans controlled the presidency, the house and the senate. and their signature piece of legislation that year was the g.o.p. tax scam. where 83% of the benefits went to the wealthiest 1% in america and they saddled hardworking american families with $2 trillion worth of debt so they can subsidize the lifestyles of the wealthiest amongst us who weren't even necessarily asking for those dramatic tax cuts, and in the process of passing the g.o.p. tax scam, republicans detonated the state and local tax deduction which hurt middle class families

we had support , i invited mr. katkhodaei, mr. rahbeek , mr. tahan nazif to express our support, talk to the parties, pay no attention to my request , invite the respected president of sada vasima, mr. jabali, to come, talk to the parties , pay no attention. being a voter in the region is not mentioned and, as the saying goes, it is not approved. for example, i will tell you that they are not named in a field. the person who got half of their votes during the period of mr. who came to be a representative could not vote, the reason is that people are looking for work. people want to see what they are doing. well, now inflation is the problem that should not be the first first, the parties should talk to the people. unfortunately, at the moment, both the government and the parliament do not know what is going on inside the people , they do not see the swelling and the high prices , they do not see the cry of the oppressed. because the people's wishes were not paid attention to , because the real faces were not brought to the square. now in tehran

mr. trump: just had a productive meeting with the teamsters. over the years i have employed thousands and thousands of teamsters. they've done a great job. especially in new york where we have a lot of unions. had great relationships with the union. we're with sean o'bryan, as you know, fred zuckerman, terrific people, great leaders. i think we had a very productive meeting. stranger things have happened. usually a republican wouldn't get that endorsement for many, many years, they only do democrats. but in my case it's different because i've employed thousands of teamsters and i thought we should come over and pay our respects and as you know, a big part of the voting block votes for me. very big part. some people say more than 50%. nobody knows what the exact number. is some people say more than 50% of the teamsters vote for me. so we had a very, very productive meeting, i think, with a lot of teamster representatives upstairs. ok. reporter: mr. president, the teamsters said they want t

mr. nekonam, as mr.ouri said, he has the right to strengthen his team, the head coach who does the same thing, the head coach who does not strengthen his team should be doubted. yes, every head coach wants to have the best players, but some players are really cheap we don't fit we didn't negotiate. look, today i said something on the radio, my friends, it's like they either misunderstood, or again, they are the same friends whose duty is to convey bad news. they are transferring the burden badly, i told them that mr. nekonam, we negotiated, now if they don't tell mr. nekonam, it's another issue, for example , allahyar siad manesh, yes, hall city used to loan him with the program manager, mr. allahor siadabensh, who is also from turkey. they are and they are a very famous basketball player. now i am not present now . i am a famous person. we talked. hull city said this is intentional. iran's football rules say that iranian clubs cannot bring legionnaire players on loan. one of my friends said today that n

parvaresh, the late mr. mavedi savji he chose mr. koken and mr. one of the representatives of isfahan and left, so to speak . now, i need to tell mr. porvarsh something. when we were going, a voice said that musa , mansoni, and other artists are working with us , and what was the result of it? last year, you saw that many of the artists were insulted by this organizational system. what did you want to say, that's what i said, mr. parvaresh, he was part of the board, yes, the head of the board. nashkini, the friday imam of qom, came to the friday prayer from he defended us, mr. jannati, in the friday prayer in tehran , in the office of my father, he told me to stop the program, and then the soroush parliament stopped the programs against you . they didn't care that they don't have a degree, they don't have a degree, they are hochigrens, we came behind this train. we went and said, mr. hashemi, my brother, we are being polite, we did not want to mention the names of the people because they are students, it is not true, but you are insi

mr. payne: mr. speaker, i rise today to honor the late lieutenant governor of the state of new jersey, sheila white oliver. ms. oliver was a trail blazer in every sense of the word. she was the first black woman to serve as lieutenant governor in the state's history. the first black woman to be elected to statewide office in new jersey. the first black woman to serve as speaker of the general assembly. and only the second black woman to lead a legislative chamber -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman will suspend. the house will be in order. take your conversations outside. the house will be in order. the gentleman will continue. mr. payne: and only the second black woman to lead a legislative chamber in american history. but i knew her before she made history. as my neighbor on bobbing avenue in newark, new jersey. she became my mentor, my friend, and someone i respected. her orer to skills were -- oratory skills were second to none and you felt hon in order when she spoke on your miasm it was

mr. mr. jabali, mr. mr. jalili , mr. barmahani's person, well, look , this is all the truth, but what else is being shown , in short, all the press and tvs outside of iran do not like the iranian people and other events are really the goal of the director. network 3 at night it has been a day, maybe my friends don't know because i always have the experience of successful programs. it's really a blessing that we are producers. a large part of it is the tv itself, the sub support that makes the tv itself . there is no employee, people don't know, i wish i would like to tell you one day , really, tv should not show how much they are working, what time they are working on tv, there really is no employee system to say that they come at 8 am. it becomes a graphic, it means a lot of strange things . the name of the program is a summary of the program based on its owner's name it wasn't really, there wasn't really a goal, there wasn't anything, besides, this program had gone by this name and it had been licensed, it had been reg

rais kiya, mr. dr. farsi, mr. alinejad, sardar yaqoubi, and ayatollah razini, who was the former head of the administrative court of justice, were officially introduced as the founding board. i am both a member of the founding board and the spokesperson of this transparency and justice watch committee. such a committee is also a commission in the parliament . here, as the spokesperson of this committee regarding the issuance of permits for years, the officials to the reason for delay and brevity and inaccuracy. the opening of the country's football will cause a lot of damage, both credit damage and financial damage. every year we have heavy crimes and we pay because of the work that neither the ceo nor the board of directors of the club can do . there are no ceos and members of the board of directors at all , and there is no discussion of blue and red, because some friends who want to help will quickly draw a line that mr. blue is against red. what i am saying is about protecting national interests. this rome comm

mrs. merchant. >> three files? >> martha: okay. when she sat down there -- you can see she's agitated. she's -- she looks like she's worked up in this moment. we hadn't seen her throughout the entire course of this. not clear if she had walked in from the back at that moment. she has been no doubt watching nathan wade testify. it hasn't been great for him. he's talked about the fact that she paid in cash every time they went on vacation. he put it on his business credit card. then she heard from a person that is a former friend, someone she was apparently close to. she rented a property from her a condo from her. that friend this affair was going on well-before fani willis hired nathan wade to work on this public case and be paid in public tax dollars. she walked in, got on the stand after the trump attorneys and the attorneys for the trump co-defendant said there's a lot we need to ask her. we need to have the district attorney of georgia on the stand. we have to ask her because there's s

these two years since mr. raisi became the president, not only our factory, but the whole factory has prospered. billion tomans, the resources of the people have been revived by the president in this ceremony. he said: the movement to restart closed and semi-closed jat factories is one of the recommendations of the supreme leader of the islamic revolution. hojjat-ul-islam wal-muslimeen raisi added: the movement to revive the jat factory should be pursued more strongly than in the past. the revival of closed workshops has entered the channel of 7,000. it is very gratifying. as much as we can , we bring half-closed factories. in the future, with the presence of the president, 157 more benefit in the field of industry and energy it arrived and on the first day of fajr decade and hormozgan revolution celebration , it became the festival of opening construction and infrastructure projects. 128 factories will be opened simultaneously. there are four oil and petrochemical units. which will be opened in this meeting.

mr. elmi hit some people, mr. elmi was not bad. sometimes, when he was arguing with us, he said that you have become famous, and they say, "not today, ishrat, for example." so-and-so's mother came with a very big chest full of tea. after all, what does it mean to stay, even though he was not educated, but a very knowledgeable person said, madam , we don't want anything from you , we don't want a way , we don't want a road, we don't want money, we don't want a job, we don't want anything. between people whatever it is, let's have it together, if not , let's not all have it, and that's why we had an arrow at that time, we used to travel with my arrow. he said, "you still have this arrow." my uncle's this is not ours. look , we had many memories in the discussions, or for example, we had a memory. we have many roads on the side of azarsherb, so we wanted to go to a village. they said that it was not possible. one of the gentlemen brought a car, for example, from here, and we couldn't pass by. he was crossing the road, he was building

mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, i want to rise to thank mr. mcclintock for his statement. i don't normally agree with very much what mr. mcclintock says, but i want to publicly thank him for being honest. and if we are being honest with one another, we would not be bringing this impeachment resolution of secretary mayorkas forward. this is a sham. this is a joke. it is no basis within the constitution. this is a political ploy. but for the purpose of the one minute, i again want to thank the gentleman from california for his honesty. we need more honesty around here. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee seek recognition? >> unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. >> mr. speaker, i rise in support of h.r. 6216, the supplemental appropriations act, and our ally israel as it continues its fight against hamas. mr. rose: in november, less than one month after hamas terrorists brutally attacked is

mr. mitchell. mr. mitchell: mr. chief justice, and may it please the court: the colorado supreme court held that prident donald j. trump is constitutionally disqualified from serving as president under section of the fourtnt amendment. the colorado supreme court's decision iwrg and should be reversed for numerous indendt reasons. the first reason is that prident trump is not covered by section, cause the president is not "an officer of the it states" as that term is used throughout the constitution. "officer of the united states" refers only to appointed fials, and it does not encompass elected individuals, such as the president or members of congress. this is clear from the commissions clause, the impeachment clause, and the appointments clause, eh which uses "officer of the united states" to refer only to appointed and noelted officials. the sendeason is that section iii cannot be used to exclude a presidential candidate omhe ballot even if that candidate is disqualified from serving as president under section iii

mr. scott. >> thank you, mr. chairman for halting this hearing today. i certainly welcome our distinguished secretary bill sec. the very last time secretary bill sec sat before this committee as a witness in march of last year, i spoke of beginning the farmville process in earnest. now, nearly a year later we're still working towards our shared goal of passing a strong, effective, and bipartisan farm bill. the testimony will provide the committee and getting us closer to that shared goal. changes in republican leadership potential government shutdowns. and the inability agriculture appropriations bill each injected uncertainty and unfortunately slowed our work. i do not envy you mr. chairman. you are doing what you can to navigate these turbulent waters. and i want to give you credit. you continue to meet and discuss the policy priorities with me. with our house agricultural democrat and our staff. and we appreciate that. reinforce house democrats want to get a farmville done. we publish

tell me, mr. doctor, maybe in various radio and television programs, i always advised, sir, not to make our dreams a law , but to be realistic. now, in the 7th plan , our export growth should be 23 per year . how much is our trade balance, non-oil, which is usually the criterion for decision making ? i am saying it is 14 billion dollars, then why am i saying the same issue? four more 10 billion dollars is negative. well, the central bank did not make the right policy that this happened, for example, there are import customers , there are no export customers, nobody is interested in exporting. no, because they are punishing the exporters , that's why i say that the central bank has come to the gold market, that all this work has been done in the commodity exchange, and its mechanism is completely professional , which i confirm . you cannot give my first answer. the core capital market is characteristic. the securities law of 184 put the establishment of all stock exchanges in charge of the stock ma

we can talk about that mr. when mr.takes the stand. >> any last words starting with miss yuri. >> my final response would be as your honor pointed out during the last hearing, miss merchant's entire representation for good faith was all totally based on mr. bradley. i remember the court saying the star witness provided by the defense is mr. bradley and you asked the specific question, does mr. bradley have firsthand knowledge from these people, each one of them. he names the lawyers and investigators, as relate to the claims that remain and her answer was yes. i can tell you the answer is no. and miss merchant has not spoken to mr. bradley according to his counsel who is outside and can represent to the court the things that i have represented. he has maintained and represented that everything that she plans to go into her ask is protected by attorney/client privilege. the only point by this procedure as it relates to the motions filed so s to create a spectacle and harassment to the district attorney. we ask for sancti

mr. parker -- mr. braun: thank you. mr. parker, indiana has done some things that have been trailblazing, so to speak. let's look at the guardianship registry. this system makes information about guardianship more transparent. other states adopted similar changes. why are the states best position to handle guardianship issues and how are they learning from each other's policies? mr. parker: thank you. i started with the courts a year ago last week, and i was just amazed at how quickly states were contacting me to talk. i have met with 15 other states since then, all of the country. there are groups that can help make connections with states, and there are conferences and trainings. so people in different states in my position are talking to each other. there are two ways. one is geographic, and then sometimes it is based on how courts are structured, so indiana has a strong amount of local control called a non-unified court system, so i have met with other states like that. sometimes, courts will meet based on factors like
