mr. ross: thank you, mr. chairman. since 1965 when the easa was passed we've gone from chalk boards to ipads. things have changed. under the scrub act, the bipartisan review committee would make these recommendations for changes in the regulatory scheme to congress who would have the final say as to whether any regulations need to be changed. and again for those reasons, mr. chairman, i would urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment and with that, i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back. he gentlelady is recognized. ms. bonamici: i yield one minute to mrs. davis. the chair: the gentlelady is recognized. mrs. davis: i rise to protect -- to support this amendment. education at its core is a civil rights issue. we have a responsibility to ensure that every student has access to a world class education. and this is especially true for children who come from families with limited means. for our working class families, quality education can be and actually is the ladder which raises an entire family's prospects

zinke and mr. ross. 68-31, 72-37. there is no rationale for delaying those confirmations when our democratic colleagues are voting to confirm them. we could have done this on january 20. mr. president, i thank my friend from ohio for his courtesy, and i yield the floor. mr. brown: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from ohio. mr. brown: thank you. i'm rising in support of dr. carson for secretary of housing and urban development, but i just can't resist when i listen to my friend, senator cornyn. i do like and respect senator cornyn. i mean that. i just am amused by the term obstructionism when this president sat 100 yards down the hall speaking last night and still hasn't put any legislative

and so that predisposed me to being receptive to mr. ross, the italian art teacher in our high school, because i had no reason not to accept him emotionally and psychologically. so the image got right through to my heart. >> hinojosa: you're working with clay for the first time in your life, and what happens at that moment? >> magic. i started to be... understand that i could actually take an inert form and turn it into a vessel with my energy, my input, my ideas. >> hinojosa: and what did that... what did that mean, you know, profoundly? >> well, it meant that i could control something; i could be celebrated for my creativity and my ideas, because it was my pot-- not somebody else's pot. and i also figured out that people valued my ability to demonstrate that i had capability in the form of ceramics, because you made the vessels , you presented them, you gave them as gifts, and so forth. so i began to receive applause and accolades for something that i had learned how to do on my own, and i was being celebrated for my "talent." i liked that

want to take this opportunity to thank mr. ross and miss learn are for their efforts. believe we wig -- we will item to inprom with their help. no matter where the challenge comes from tsa has zero tolerance for prohibited personnel patriot acts sufficient appearing retaliation against whistle-blowers. tsa is fortunate to have employees and stakeholdded with a charity passion for integrate. in conclusion, i would like to emphasize that each side of the coin sharing information transparently and protecting information when it is required, is indispensable to the national security mission. i have every confidence that the proud men and women of tsa today are more than up to both tasks. thank you. >> thank you. before we recognize inspector general we have a vote and we'll reconvene just about 11:00 and as soon as possible the votes are done we'll reconvene. committee stands in

it was a day after mr. ross was confirmed by the senate. he has a big to do list. the commerce secretary is expected to start working on renegotiating trade relationships with both china and mexico. he will also likely play role in cutting trade deficits. say that he will have a part to may in trying to bring manufacturing jobs back to the u.s. >>> speaking of which, economic growth slowed in the last three months of 2016. the nation's gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the goods and services produced in the u.s. grew at a 1.9% rate. that was less than the previous report and slightly below expectations. business investment and government spending were revised downward in the fourth quarter. while consumer spending remains solid. >> and that's being reflected in the greatest confidence index which just hit a 15-year high. it gauges both consumers' assessment of current conditions and the expectations for the future. economists closely monitor the mood of the consumer because their spending accounts for nearly 70% of activity. >>> consumers do not appea

i spoke to mr. ross.ke to the american chamber of commerce and the representation of various veryesses, and i had a good feeling that the privacy shield is fulfilling its main purpose. also, i met yesterday the representatives of ngo's, the watchdogs, which have some concerns about the new trends in the united states, the feeling morethere weill be emphasis -- on ensuring national security, which would mean that the protection of privacy will be secondary. i don't have siuch signs. cory: it is interesting from a privacy standpoint. it seems like it e.u. has targeted u.s. companies, google and facebook -- that seem to have a different notion of privacy, to put it politely. than some european companies. do you feel like in your role as commissioner of the e.u. that you've got a focus on u.s. companies because they do not get privacy, that some of us think of a different? vera: when american companies operate and collect, operate in the european union and collect the private data of europeans, they have to c

mrs. ross hinnings' son has lived with serious mental health issues since he was in high school. this year he turned 26, he worked for an employer with no health plan. without obamacare, his pre-ex t pre-existing mental illness would have made it impossible for him to find coverage. without a subsidy, he could not have afforded the help he desperately needed. with the care he received, he addressed his mental health and substance abuse issues, and is attending school. these skills should enable him to find a stable good paying job. if not for obamacare, his problems were severe enough that he would have had potentially been home leless or very ill. instead, he is happy, in control of his life and preparing to become a productive member of society. if obamacare were repealed, the ross hen is family say they would live in fear for our wonderful son, and that's a quote, coverage has helped mrs. ross-hennings son to overcome his challenges and it would be catastrophic for their family if he were denied coverage based on a pre-existing condition. these are constituents of my state of

zinke and mr. ross. 68-31, 72-37. there is no rationale for delaying those confirmations when our democratic colleagues are voting to confirm them. we could have done this on january 20. mr. president, i thank my friend from ohio for his courtesy, and i yield the floor. mr. brown: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from ohio. mr. brown: thank you. i'm rising in support of dr. carson for secretary of housing and urban development, but i just can't resist when i listen to my friend, senator cornyn. i do like and respect senator cornyn. i mean that. i just am amused by the term obstructionism when this president sat 100 yards down the hall speaking last night and still hasn't put any legislative proposals forward. nothing on immigration concept executive orders. nothing on infrastructure, even though democrats have followed the four corners, if you will, of his proposal, $1 trillion over ten years put into paper and actually written a real plan which includes public transit, which includes highways and brid

street who now will run this administration and will decide ultimately what our trade policy will be, mr. ross and mr. navarro will be adequately frustrated i'm sure by the goldman sachs crowd. i doubt they've looked at the boarded up windows and opioid abuse. that's a real part of america we don't siee in the wealth of new york and san francisco. but adjustment, labor market adjustments haven't worked in those places. we have to ask why. we have to ask why. because it is a very maldistributed outcome that is occurring. my view is this is not healthy. we could slip into artarky and that would not be a good thing either. in order to discuss this you can't constantly back down to o totologies and identities and not address what it is that china does to particular markets in this country. failure to do so is problematic. i know you want to respond. >> i am really struck by the fact at how little faulty trade policies on the part of the united states have been identified as the problem. with the exception of concerns of certain things about china, and yet the debate -- [ inaudible question [ inaud

mr. ross: none. none. that's why the scrub act is so important. this bill went through regular over. in the oversight and government reform committee, they had an opportunity to make their amendments. we came to the floor. they had an opportunity to make their amendments. two were accepted. made it a bipartisan bill. more importantly, let's take the impact of this bill and what it does to our economy. the small business administration says annually each business must pay $20,000 a year in compliance costs because of our regulatory environment. the competitive enterprise institute says that's $15,000 per household. members, we were elected to be accountable who elected us, not to allow some unaccountable, unelected bureaucracy to make rules and regulationes that pages of d up 178,000 code. let us do what we were elected to do and reach back and take back that authority we have given to these regulatory agencies. let us pass this scrub act so we can have an opportunity to review and eliminate those regulations that are no longer necessary, inefficie

attorney general will be there to have dinner as well as the secretary of commerce, wilbur ross and mrs. ross attorney generals sessions just described. john kelly we're getting in this note, steven miller, don mcgahn and steve bannon. jeff sessions is going to be here, after hearing president trump wasn't so happy, didn't want so many staff necessarily being with him at mar-a-lag ox right n right now. i'm not happy you recused yourself, mr. attorney general? >> most the people you listed who are going to be at the dinner, steve bannon, stephen miller are the brain trust. we know from donald trump he's publicly seemed to chastise jeff sessions for what we now know, didn't disclose the fact he communicated with the russian ambassador in his hearing. donald trump said he should have answered a little differently. he did sort of throw his guy under the bus. this is perhaps a way to recalibrate, figure out what to do next. >> if you're sitting close enough, who knows where they'll be sitting when they're shaving the dinner. >> that would be great, in mar-a-lago, people can hear a lot of things. >

on behalf of working men and women in this country, but apparently, we need to relieve and rescue mr. ross and miss devos, mr. tillerson, et cetera. >> >> reclaiming my time, those gentlemen were nowhere near this debate in 2009. i was and warned about the cadillac tax to no avail, as the chairman has said as well. >> will the gentleman yield? >> mr. tiberi -- >> clearly it violates house rule 16, clause 7. >> does the gentle lady offering the amendment wish to speak on the point of order? >> i do, mr. chairman. >> you are recognized. >> picking up the thread where mr. larson left off, the cadillac tax most certainly would impact the majority of people that are impacted by that are working americans. they are -- struggling americans. they are people that deserve our efforts to try to help provide them with some relief. the remainder of this bill has huge tax give-aways because it repeals taxes for insurance company executives, for billionaires, for pharmaceutical companies, for the tanning industry, just about everybody else except for middle class americans. hard-working men and women who

mr. ross and miami, that's what he said, he said they do not present the plan that oakland wasn't viable. oakland had a viable plan. if i am trying to sell you a car and you won't talk to me, what kind of the deal is that? >> let's talk about baseball. this decision comes when oakland is about to lose the warriors. what about the oakland aides? what is the future? >> unfortunately it looks like it will be the one team that stays. it's so ironic yesterday we get our hearts broken by the raiders. baseball starts next week. with the new administration, it's been a 180 turn around, instead of trying to leave the city of oakland they are embracing the city. >> when is there contract up? >> they have a 10 year lease. if they are going to build a statement -- the a's are here for the long term. >> thank you so much for joining us this morning. now we turn to you are viewer, who do you hope most responsible for the raiders moving to las vegas? team owner mark davis, the city of oakland, the mayor, or

mr. luis videgaray. wilbur ross, the commerce secretary suggested continuing on the subject of the peso. was some kind of stabilization mechanism that should be built in to the new version of nafta if that is what it is called. for free treatment -- free trade agreement. is there a need for such a thing? sec. videgaray: we are open to that. , wehere is a free market don't induce any bias into the peso. absolutely, we are very open to that. erik: and the governor of your central bank, i was told earlier today that he believes the peso remains undervalued. you sure that point of view? sec. videgaray: i share his opinion on every matter. i think certainly. erik: by the same amount? by 10%. sec. videgaray: i will follow his lead on the amount. erik: given that he is the governor of the central bank. mr. secretary, you have been to the white house how many times since inauguration day? sec. videgaray: a few times. erik: you met with president trump personally? sec. videgaray: i met with the white house senior staff. post

. >> let's -- that was mr. ross, the commerce secretary. in john harwood. >> tyler, we've got a situation with president trump where his agenda is right now stalled out, trade is one of the things that could give him a chance to recover. let's first of all look at the agenda that has stalled. you've got the travel ban that the president started out advertise term with, that was halted and the health care bill. that failed. you've got fbi and senate investigations of russia, sean spicer is addressing those from the podium right now at the white house and 38% approval rating for the president of the united states. that's extremely low by historical standards. he does have opportunities for recovery. let's look what those are. first of all, next week he hopes to get neil gorsuch confirmed to the supreme court, even if it that takes mitch mcconnell invoking the nuclear option and doing it by majority vote rather than getting 60 votes to break a filibuster. you have the potential for new infrastructure policies that the president would put in pl

ross have a fokt for pocket squares. i guess you have to start somewhere. >> i have a theory. i think that mr. trump and mr. ross are playing good cop/bad cop with mexico. what do you think? >> reporter: it's quite possible. they were very chummy today. when they were asked about how the relationship was going, they said everything is great but, you know, there's still the negotiations to be had. we'll have to see exactly how the talks go, whether or not the goodwill they seem to have fostered is carried over. >> i'm wondering how you say pocket square in spanish? >> reporter: i don't know. >> somebody will tell us. >> thanks, ylan. >> that's why god created twitter. >> 40 minutes to go. >> 40. yeah, what she said. the dow is up 46 points right now as we head towards the close. the s&p and nasdaq. by the way, a lot of averages were heading for their worst day of the year. >> shows you how strong a year it's been. >> we've yet to have a 1% down day this year so far. isn't that crazy? >> probably longer than that. >> it does go back a few months. >>> up next, $2 trillion of net worth. we'll break down the key

ross. got to call you like mr. secretary now after all these years, wilbur.ing out of this gig i think, right? >> that's true. >> out of this disrespect now from "squawk box" although we're old friends. i read both executive orders for today, and it sounds like they're very similar. i don't know why, two executive orders but they're sort of designed to do the same thing, right? unfair trade in the first one, and then dumping and anti-dumping in the second one. could you explain the two? >> sure. the first one calls for the commerce department to conduct a 90-day study, country by country, product by product, of why are we having so much trade deficit with each of those parties. now in some cases, it will be legitimate reason. for example, we're still not self-sufficient in oil. so, obviously we have to bring a lot of oil in from somewhere. but in other cases, it will be bad practices. it will be dumping. it will be unfair subsidy of outbound product from other countries to us. it will be currency misalignment. it will be any of the variety of reasons. we're g
