administration, the obama-biden administration, and let me give you a couple examples -- >> you rememberresigned. >> i remember why mattis resigned. i will give you an example in terms of russia particularly, you remember, president -- the biden -- obama-biden administration was providing them mres after the invasion of crimea. what did the trump administration with republican support do? we got them javelins, we significantly bolstered, significantly, american troop presence in the baltics and in poland, which the obama administration refused to do. we dramatically increased american defense spending, the second term of the obama administration, obama-biden, cut defense spending by 25%. they wrecked readiness. i'm the ranking member on the readiness subcommittee on armed services. trump and the republican senate, we brought military readiness bck and unleashed another element of american power american energy. these are all strong elements of the trump administration record working with republicans that made us stronger and right now if you look around the world, you see chaos and a lot

between obama administration policies an biden administration policies. >> yeah, you know, governorma went to the white house, after joe biden was president. they made a stink about oh, president oeb coming to visit president biden when obama introduced biden called him vice president, right there and then i to me they are still at each other. mike: -- think no secret president obama probably wishes he picked someone else for vice president it was joe biden, the only person in the situation room the night president obama one better moment ordered takeout of osama bin laden. joe biden said don't do it he was only person in the room robert gates famously said about joe biden one consistency in joe biden's career absolutely wrong on every foreign policy decision in 50 year career in public service that is joe biden that many of us are watching fumble across the stage no doubt president obama probably thinks biden is not best pick in 2020. he won't be the right guy in 2024. he is wishing somebody else could step in save the day for the democrats joe is stubborn going to take it to logic

at the end of the last weeks of the obama administration in december 2016, if i'm not mistaken, the obama administration also issued a un security council resolution against israeli settlements in he abstained and did not veto the west bank of the jordan river, and we know that the settlements where the israelis now have nearly one-tenth of the zionist population in the west bank are illegal cities according to international laws and even the laws of the europeans and the domestic laws of the united states. live well when you to the resolution will be approved, it must be implemented, they must somehow force the israeli government to evacuate and give those lands to the palestinians and their original inhabitants, but this is not happening and this is a problem that we unfortunately have in the international law of the international system. we have that it is specific to the great powers that enforce a law or a resolution, otherwise it can be just a general word in syriac . if the permanent member of the security council is not behind this resolution, it is not possible to hope for a reso

administration.e on those stories coming up but let me bring you up—to—date with our latest bbc news headlines. russia heads to the polls with vladimir putin certain to secure his fifth term as president and another six years in power. as voting begins, so do the protests. some voters expressing their anger by pouring dye into ballot boxes and some setting fire to photo booths —— micro polling booths. photos of food and medical aid arriving to gaza have been released. meanwhile israel has sent a delegation back to qatar for ceasefire talks. on the ground benjamin netanyahu has approved plans for a military operation to go ahead in rafah. ajudge has rejected donald trump as meg attempted to have the lead prosecution lawyer disqualified from the georgia election interference case, the judge ruled that fani willis could continue but said the special prosecutor she had appointed and had a romantic relationship with would have to go. he has tonight resigned. the proposed transitional council in haiti that

under the obama administration this is crazy.arry: didn't -- as i know they wanted to slap a dei, diversity, equity and inclusion requirement on small businesses to do business with the sba and others but some judge said that is -- that is unconstitutional, i think that also the case? >> yeah, it is. if you take a look at what we did in sba under the trump administration, it was all comers, come in, if you qualify fo for a loan urge sba, we looked if you qualified with the banks who supported you in your line of, this particular rule that you just mentioned, this is under the commerce department, they are grants that go to small businesses. so, that is the other side of this coin, that the law the was -- lawsuit was brought by those who were not part of the minorities which were black americans, hispanics, asian pacific a laurens an passive islandives and et cetera, the white people said this is discriminatory against us to not get the grants, the judge ruled in their favor that was a good thing. i think that we'll see a lot more

the obama administration set a standard that agencies had to account for things like teleworking andace usage and planning for the space. an agency that may have 1,000 people assigned to a building, yet only a portion of those came to desks and space. what makes up for, it puts into consideration things like teleworking. the obama administration even proposed selling the department of labor building based on this type of space utilization and counting. more recently, i know the gentlewoman from the district of columbia has previously proposed legislation to move and sell the department of energy. folks say that republicans just want to kick federal employees out of their buildings, we don't. we would prefer they come backlo work, i think it's very reasonable for us to say that we want the building to be 60% occupied. 60%. that's, to me, a pretty good compromise with my friends on the other side of the aisle who are saying that, well, we just want to sell buildings and kick federal employees out of their buildings. we don't. we want them to come to work. we want them to be good stewar

obama administration also has a council resolution. the united nations security council abstained and did not veto israel's settlements in the west bank, and we know that the settlements that the israelis are now close to one tenth of the zionist population in the west bank lives in cities that are illegal according to international laws and even the laws of the europeans and the internal laws of the united states. well, when you approve that resolution, it must be implemented , it must be implemented by the israeli government. force them to evacuate and give those lands to palestine and its original inhabitants, but this is not happening and this is a problem that we unfortunately have in the international law of the international system. which is specific to the great powers that enforce a law or a decree to the contrary, otherwise they can it's just a general word and a syrian word. yes, thank you very much, mr. azizi . you said that in practical terms, when the will of one of the five permanent members of the security council is no

even since the, i mean, uh, obama administration. so they don't want china to of soul control or an important body forwarder, which is important to america's projection of power, but also international trade. let's turn around that and look at this from the, the chinese ends of the, the time scope. why is china's ups so lang such a vigorous claim is to this region? well, for the chinese they have so called he started. right. so i don't know like i'd where i was wrong. have supposedly, you know, of 700 years ago, pastor, the area, the chinese and sisters back and they went into their area. but we know that strategically, this is an important point for trying to the idea of for chinese, that they cannot be a really super power if they cannot dominate their own adjacent waters. just as america did in the caribbean, back in the 19th century on word. so they just feel entitled to, to be in control of what it's called self shyness in east china. see, i mean we can have the base model in it as appropriately as calling it. but that has given

but what's important thing is, you know, from the nixon administration, all the way to the obama administration, america more or less strategic undergrads. he never really clarified to the philippines whether the mutual defense or do with a play. exactly. should there be a conflict with china in the south china sea, but the change around 220182019, under trump administration. and later on, also adopted by the, by the end of the station. and very clearly, if we're looking at the troops, vessels, or aircraft, come under attack by any 3rd party, automatically, the mutual defense really should apply and follow what the americans are also now, focusing on with the filipinos is also in again, so called greys on fritz. because china is not using it's naval forces or let's say you know, great how, how it forces to, to always push its claims. sometimes it's relying on my time elisha forces. so the trying to draft really over the philippines and the united states has to take their life and make it much more operational, effective against grays on strategy used by china. and that's where i think where the

under the obama administration this is crazy. diversity, equity and inclusion requirement on small businesses to do business with the sba and others but some judge said that is -- that is unconstitutional, i think that also the case? >> yeah, it is. if you take a look at what we did in sba under the trump administration, it was all comers, come in, if you qualify f for a loan urge sba, we looked if you qualified with the banks who supported you in your line of, this particular rule that you just mentioned, this is under the commerce department, they are grants that go to small businesses. so, that is the other side of this coin, that the law the was -- lawsuit was brought by those who were not part of the minorities which were black americans, hispanics, asian pacific a l passive islandives and et cetera, the white people said this is discriminatory against us to not get the grants, the judge ruled in their favor that was a good thing. i think that we'll see a lot more of these kinds of actions, all about the biden administration

even since the, i mean, uh obama administration. so they don't want china to of soul control or didn't important body folder, which is important to americans projection of power, but also international trade. let's turn around that and look at this from the chinese ends of the telescope. why is china's up so lang such a vigorous claim is to this region? well, for the chinese they have so called he started. right. so i don't know like i'd where i was wrong. have supposedly, you know, of 700 years ago, pastor, the area of the chinese and sisters back and they went into their area. but we know that strategically, this is an important for chinese idea for chinese, that they cannot be a really super power if they cannot dominate their own adjacent waters. just as america did in the caribbean, back in the 19th century on word. so they just feel entitled to, to be in control of what it's called self shyness. in each shyness, i mean we can have a base board with it as a proper way of calling it, but that has given trying a sense of entitlem

>> yeah, we found out it didn't work too well under the obama administration, you know?zes that about you know, a third of franchised businesses are owned by minorities. when you put these kind of rules into effect which literally says that if a mother franchise if you will, mcdonald's corporation, there is a small franchisee comes in and starts his business, well now that small business will be treated like an employee/employer relationship which takes away all the incentive of the franchise owner to be its own marketing person, who hire who he needs or she needs to really reach out into the community, whatever relationships they want to develop. so what we found is, it just, it takes the air out of the balloon of franchise owners who really want to go out, be part of the community and the people who get affected the most by this are women and minorities. thank goodness this very broad rule was stopped this past friday. was supposed to go into effect today and a texas judge ruled it was too broad, it had to be looked at again and of course the national labor relations b

but of course, let's go back to the obama administration. when benjamin netanyahu received an invitation to address congress without having an official invitation from the white house to come to the united states that was considered a protocol breach. well, at the time joe biden was the vice president. now, here in the middle of the war on garza, the by the administration, has grown increasingly frustrated with benjamin netanyahu. his conduct of the war on garza. and so it perhaps is not surprising that the vice president, pamela harris, is going to be taking a meeting with benny gantt on monday, as well as the national security advisor jake sullivan. according to the statements from benny kansas office, he apparently is also going to be meeting with congressional leadership, both democratic and republican. so this is perhaps the by the administration's way, and i'm speculating here of putting more pressure on benjamin netanyahu to try to wrap up the war sooner rather than later. and certainly there are numerous reports now indicating that w

even since the, i mean, uh obama administration. so they don't want china to of soul control or that important body forwarder, which is important to americans projection of power, but also international trade. let's turn around that and look at this from the, the chinese and just at the time scope, why is china's up? so lang such a vigorous claim is to this region. well, for the chinese they have so called he started, right? so i don't know like i'd where i was wrong. have supposedly you know of 700 years ago pastor, the area of the chinese and sisters back and they went into their area. but we know that strategically, this is an important point for trying to the idea of for chinese, that they cannot be a really super power if they cannot dominate their own adjacent waters. just as america did in the caribbean, back in the 19th century on word. so they just feel entitled to, to be in control of what it's called self shyness in east china. see, i mean we can have the base model in it as appropriately as calling it. but that has given

president obama's administration for hillary clinton, because hillary clinton herself once spoke aboutthe white house every day, so we're not it should be surprising who is behind the policies emanating from the current administration in the white house, which many call the most radical and left-liberal in the history of our country." but there is no doubt about it, i have changed a lot in 20 years, i just mean we have all changed , what can we say, but how have you changed, what are your ideas now that differ from those that were 5 years ago? you know, the fact is that over the past 5 years i have become increasingly...

pause then he went to the congress and he had to speech against or been a obama administration. he was invited, but did republican, but the and blood type in the after, when of them as administration them, the last is the best, the you and it was the lucian air conditioning system and police and calling to stop in and palestine. that was shocking for those that are only the state. so it is a still there, it seems that the current situation even before the 2 of us events, the ex uh at tech by hand as well. so that was kind of tension between us administration and is that when we come to that and do this at a 4 items where united states would reject these ant anything you all insisted on them, then we are and this war and is an elizabeth egypt think any cool to cease play out any initiative to have a seasonal layout, even if it was limited to the slayer, able to think is addicted by isabel and this med nearby. and by then feels helpless in front of anything, you know. and it seems that you went through some a lot of skips. it is what i is refusing to let these hundreds of products

as the state department's top russia official during the obama administration, she unsuccessfully advocatedsiles, and under the biden administration was among the biggest advocates of sending more and better american weapons to ukraine. during the biden administration, nulan has become a lightning rod for skeptics of u.s. support for ukraine. no one... she was considered the only candidate to permanently replace sherman, but blinken appointed kurt campbell, who previously held the top post on the national security council in asia, to the post. she held almost all positions in this department, including including mine. personally, i met victoria in the early days of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, and from the very beginning i was struck by the clarity of her intentions and the clarity of her opinions. when russian citizens, especially in big cities like moscow and st. petersburg, realize that they can no longer withdraw cash from atms, they can no longer easily travel, eat big macs, or purchase. components for their iphones that he is throwing them back to the days of the soviet un

what happened, during the obama administration previously, they we our soldiers and i let them know,id it infor 18 months, we ln afghanistan, and then we had that horrible withdrawal where we lost 13 soldiers, 38 horribly wounded. left americans behind.! you have americans right now still behind, call them hostages if you like. we left 85 billion dollars wort, jets and tanks and goggles, night goggles. they are good fighters. they did not used to fight at night, but now they do because they have goggles. they have better goggles than we have. i want to tell you that led to a lot of bad things. now the worst things are happening. the things happening now are and they are unthinkable at the border. we have millions of people invading our country. is is the worst invasion probably -- we have never had anything like it. no country hadit. the number today could be 15 million people. and they are coming from rough shut down. when joe biden goes to the beach because someone on his staff thinks he looks very good in a bathing suit -- [laughter] until he can't get his feet out of the sand or

what happened, during the obama administration previously, they were shooting a lot of our soldiers andn't ever let that happen. i said it in a rather nasty fashion. for 18 months, we lost nobody in and then we had that horrible withdrawal where we lost 13 soldiers, 38 horribly wounded. behind. you have americans right now still behind, call them hostages if you like. we left 85 billion dollars worth of beautiful equipment behind, jets and tanks and goggles, night goggles. they are good fighters. they did not used to fight at night, but now they do because they have goggles. they have better goggles than we have. i want to tell you that led to a lot of bad things. now the worst things are happening. the things happeningowunthinkabe unthinkable at the border. we have millions of people invading our country. this is the worst invasion probably -- we have never had anything like it. no country has had anything like it. the number today could be 15 million people. and they are coming from rough and dangerous places. we had that shut down. when joe biden goes to the beach because someone on

if you remember, several years ago during the obama administration. there was a governor of arizona, january brewer and wanted the state and legislature to enforce some federal immigration laws. obama administration took her to court and won and their argument was the government has the sole authority to enforce immigration law and by the way we're not going to do it. that was a winning argument. and i think that's exactly what joe biden is arguing tonight. elizabeth: to you, sam, is this white house in chaos or tone deaf? we reported friday and biden swore in a border patrol chief saying he never talked to joe biden or kamala harris in his two years on the job. byron said, the president is flipping -- plunging in the polls because of the hundreds of actions and fueling the border collapse. what do you make of this move by the white house? >> i think it's another misguided step. the white house is doing everything it can to unravel the border security measures that were in place. that's created the problem and it's interesting what texas is arguing to

i remember first coming here unit the obama administration -- under the obama administration and there were chinese manufactured tires creating some type of accident risk, i don't remember what it was specifically swe imposed a tariff on these tires, or the obama administration did and in response, china put a tariff on our chickens, ducks, and turkeys. i think it's immoral that any country, including the united states, would do retaliatory tariffs an essential thing as food. we ought to look at language that somehow we can at least trade discussions, we'll say when the tariff disputes are completely unrelated to agriculture. so once again to our witnesses here today, thank you so much for your service for your expertise and for joining us here. and the -- under the rules of the committee, the record of today's hearing will remain open for 10 calendar days to receive additional material and supplementry written responses from the witnesses to any questions posed by a member. this hearing on the committee on agriculture is adjourned.

administration lied claiming that libya's gaddafi was bombing peaceful protesters and he used that lie as a pretext for nato to bomb libya and also to arm terrorists in libya. it's undeniable, we see mass murder in gaza, but no military. effort by the americans and the europeans to end this under humanitarian grounds, which is what they used to invade libya in 2011, they use that, so this humanitarian ground, they use it to carry out military action against libya. the difference between gaza and libya is not only hypocrisy, but it is also criminal, because you've got over 30,00 people who have been killed there already, and i would also like to say that... palestinians, most of them are women and children. this has been done with american assistance and american weaponry. the american and israeli leadship's main talking point. for a cease fire is that the palestinians turn over all israeli prisoners of war. i don't call them hostages, these are prisoners of war. this this has been a war that's been going on for decades. this is not acceptable to the palestinians after the prisons of wa

he also worked in the labor department during former president barack obama's administration. stu.very much, indeed. joining me now is former acting attorney general matthew whitaker matthew, i want to know is fin going to sanction the judge or the attorney general, letitia james? >> yeah. stuart, good to be with you this morning. the short answer is it's too soon to tell, you know? this reduction by the appeals court in new york suggests that they even thought that judge engeron's decision was excessive and, obviously, beyond what was allowed under the law. and, you know, the case might fully be reversed because if you remember the details, the facts are pretty straightforward. the loans that were subject to these alleged frauds were paid back in full with interest, the banks said do more hones in the -- loans in the future with president trump and, or you know, they didn't believe that they were defrauded. now, you know, whether or not any bar complaints have been filed against judge engeron or letitia james, ultimately that's going to be a separate proceeding. but, you know, bas

unfortunately, the biden administration is no basically reinstated their obama rule yesterday. they announced they would be throwing people out of their short-term plans after four months which means that by a short-term plan, you get sick in the by ministration will terminate that plan within four months and leave you without insurance for up to 12 months. host: here is the new york times article from yesterday about that -- host: your comment on that? guest: these plans that michael is talking about, the short term duration plans are junk insurance. they are not aca coverage and they can discriminate against people for pre-existing conditions. they don't have to offer basic services like prescription drugs or maternity care, mental health care. these are really meant as a bridge for people between types of coverage. if it's short-term coverage, it should be short-term which is what the biden administration has allowed. if you need a bridge between different coverage, you can get it but otherwise, it should be -- it should not be a permanent type of coverage. the marketplaces

back from the biden administration to the obama administration when the middle east was in chaos andnd the world ryan higgins not sure where we stood and appease iran by going to stop them from getting one and delaying it for alittle while and these issues and he was truthless and going back-to-back policies and i think when you look at it right now, that standing in the world and a lot of times presidential races are tipped over by this and foreign affairs and this time in the afghanistan withdraw and ukraine and palestinians and are all problems for joe biden >> harris: i want to dig deeper with the time we have left. patrick, would you like another go? >> quickly, the obama administration in the past, we triple the amount of forces in afghanistan to bring bin laden to justice in that administration. he killed innocent, thousands of innocent americans on 9/11 at the world trade centers at penalty gone and let's make sure we're fair about that. also let's talk about how under the obama and economically the [inaudible] rose 60%. now at all time high right now. >> harris: nobody doubt

administration. he respondedo concerns about his de randamipics of the president's memory and the decision toeot seek criminal charges. you can watch the entire hearing saturday at 8:00 p.m. span. the video is available online at c-span. >> anna gomez talked about artificial intelligence, broadband and s.e.c. -- f.c.c. authority. you can watch all of our coverage at c-span.org. this conversation is about 20 minutes. [inaudible conversations] >> welcome, thank you. and thanks, everybody, for out while we were repositioning microphones. are wired in. welcome we are so excited to have you. it's your first encompass a policy summit in your new position. cracks yes. [applause] i note many of you in the room have known commissioner gomez for years. in and around our industry. ther in the public and private sector and now you have a whole new role. so why don't you tell us a little bit about all of the great experience you and how that inform the role you have today. quick thank you for having me here. it's

administration. they been saying that they should not be helpless in all of this and border states they have a right to protect the citizen and to secure the border. the supreme court has traditionally not been very -- and it rules with federal authorities so this is a very significant change. -- is something that i doubt anyone in the federal government anticipated. >> martha: but they're doing -- and yes, we have to -- wrapup but based on the law. i mean that is what they have two use before them to make this decision, they're not doing it in fact if i'm -- req me parmar because they say well this is an untenable situation, national security is at risk, we have to step and. quickly if you can, jonathan. >> yeah, texas is fighting very hard to say that this is a system of federalism where states are sovereign powers and we have a right to protect our citizens and enforce our own laws, this is a major victory even if it's a temporary one. >> martha: it is likely to be other current at least while it'

administration, trump had been elected so i thought that war is over, little d i know we would have obamath joe biden and even worse. but i knew that we needed to figure out what was goingn comp months going out to palo alto, silicon microsoft people who sued microsoft for anti-trust violations, who is doing what is this out of that came i think four lawsuits google, a facebook lawsuit, a twitter lawsuit, and those have been extremely effective and those affected ioneought in thi dominates advertising on the internet, control like 97%. they make over $120 billion a year and they destroy companies, they increase prices on consumers, and there's no competition. we applied that theory, no one thought it was legit. but here we are four years later after they tried to move us out of texas to new york, we found a way back, mike lee helped us get a bill to allow us to control our own destiny and this lawsuit now is scheduled against google. we've already had google, but scheduled against google to not just take back money that they've stolen from us, and that they've illegally obtained by being

administration responded with pinprick attacks. remember said a john mccain late senator john mccain questioning the u.s. military officials and senate testimony and said that 75% of the american missions that were flown against isis flew around, returned and never dropped any ordinance at all that is because the lawyers in the obama administration told them that they could not do it, donald trump said were not going to mess around with that stuff we are going to destroy isis, he did not destroy isis forever, but he basically knocked it out for a very, very long time. stuart: now they are back and i think they pose a threat to her own security coming into the southern border, 8 million have come in and we don't know who they all are we know terrorist have come in and now isis is operated around the world i think were turning a blind eye to a serious threat. >> the border issue is most troubling for domestically for americans in the past when we have had influx across the border many, many years ago it was mostly mexican migrants an

as far as political postuing goes, the speech was perceived as an insult to the obama administrationtension his sitting vice president joe biden. sitting in the chamber in the front row was senator chuck schumer, who ended up voting against the deal, basically siding with netanyahu over his ownparty's leader and the obama/biden administration. you'd think that would have stayed with now president joe biden. he would have learned about netanyahu's willingness to turn on a u.s. president so publicly, you'd think. surprisingly, this wasn't even the only time. then-vice president joe biden appeared to be personally humiliated upon arriving in israel at the time when netanyahu announced the construction of 1600 new jewish settlements in occupied east jerusalem. before israel's general election, netanyahu made a blatant appeal to right-wing voters and said he would never establish a palestinian state if reelected, yet again openly defying and undercutting the obama/biden administration. after a sweeping victory in the 2022 elections, netanyahu, who was facing serious allegations of corrupt

i remember first coming here unit the obama administration -- under the obama administration and there were chinese manufactured tires creating some type of accident risk, i don't remember what it was specifically so we imposed a tariff on these tires, or the obama administration did and in response, china put a tariff on our chickens, ducks, and turkeys. i think it's immoral that any country, including the united states, would do retaliatory tariffs on such an essential thing as food. we ought to look at language that somehow we can at promote within the trade discussions, we'll say when the tariff disputes are so once again to our witnesses here today, thank you so much for your service for your expertise and for us here. and the -- under the rules of the committee, the record of today's hearing will remain open for 10 calendar days to receive additional material and supplementry written responses from the witnesses to any questions posed by a member. this hearing on the committee on agriculture is adjourned.

these are the same people who worked for president obama's administration for hillary clinton.rself once spoke about this. she said: yes, i'm talking to white house every day. so we should not be surprised by who is behind the current policies. i think it was pretty clear to a lot of people that it was really all about power, and how little they cared about things like freedom and civil rights and people being able to decide for themselves, and then it just kept escalating.

administration, where again there was a security. resolution condemning israel settlements program, united states abstained, but relations between the israel in the us was soon restored. this is obviously um painful for israel. on the other hand, i think israel knows that there's an election uh coming up in the united states, the biden administration is obviously um in terrible uh straights with its own suh supporters, we saw that in the uh primary in michigan where there was such an enormous uncommitted vote, so i think one has to look at it um in terms of domestic american politics, i doubt whether this will have a... a long-term effect in us israel relations, however all right, well s, your thoughts on what does it mean to passing of this resolution in your perspective? to me it's it's very significant because after six months the vote came nearly almost uniminous, certainly significant because as well security council resolution and a draft when we look at them when they are adopted. bec becomes as international law and all parties need to abide by what in in these resolutions o

some of the lessons learned from the obama administrations which is kind of like right now to challenge members and statehouses across the country. they cannot make decisions and won't invest those resources in the right places. we saw a number one being allowed to let local communities make these investments. when you talk about creating jobs with the pipe replacement program. to replace 100+-year- old led types. those are jobs to replace the infrastructure and a lot of legacy sites we have seen that local governments have not had their resources to address or remediator cleanup. so the 66 billion and the inflation reduction act, that is something that local governments will be able to apply directly with communities to remove these sites and put some green industry back in play . one of the things we are seeing what we did the cleanup at the brownfield site, the company came to us and they were looking for it at the brownfield site because of the inflation reduction act to come into the community. it's a win- win when you look at the local level. that is where the key partnerships and
