mr. rice: the american dream separates us from the rest of the world, with hard work and determination, you can improve your station in life and your children have the opportunity for a better life than yours. but for many in the generation, the american dream has been tarnished, just out of reach. the last time we did tax reform was 30 years ago. we were the leader. our economic system and tax code were competitive. but for decades, we sat by as the world passed us by. as we became less competitive, more and more american companies and jobs left our shores, and what has been the result? we lost millions of middle-class jobs. in 1990, the middle class comprised of american families. today, 40%. the middle class makes about the same take-home pay as they did in 1990. 27 years later, when we all worry about income disparity and the gulf between the rich and the poor in this country, this is the source of the problem, the american middle class is smaller and has not had a raise in 30 years. how c

mr. rice: i am going to yield three minutes to the gentleman from colorado, mr. lamb born, the author of this important legislation. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. lamborn: thank you, mr. speaker. this legislation is named after taylor force. i want to say what a special honor it is today that his parents are with us here today. i would like to especially thank the speaker and majority leader for bringing this legislation to the floor for a vote and i also want to thank chairman royce and ranking member engel for their leadership and strong bipartisan support. i introduced this bill last congress and reintroduced it this congress with representative liezel din because we must ensure that american taxpayer dollars don't incentivize terrorist attacks on our own citizens as well as israelis. this commonsense measure now has 170 co-sponsors. i think most of the american people are aware of taylor's story by now but it bears repeating again as we prepare to vote on this legislation in the people's house. last year a 28-year

ricee chair recognizes mr. from new york -- ms. rice from new york. >> this question is for director ray. earlier this week, a canadian citizen pled guilty two charges that he or -- that he worked for with a yahoo!ion attack. conspirators, including two russian fsb officers have been indicted. this case was the first time the u.s. has issued criminal charges against russian officials for a cyber attack, even though russian aggression has continued to rise in that area. we have seen large-scale cyber attacks on u.s. companies, equifax, verizon,. what other cyber attacks do you suspect russian involvement in? >> without commenting on specific investigations, you have put your finger on what we view is one of the more dangerous threats, a blended threat. in the yahoo! attack, you have the blend of a nation state actor, the russian intelligence service, using the assistance of criminal hackers, almost like mercenaries being used to commit attacks. one of the reasons we thought this particular case was important, even though some of the

susan rice has a lot to say about mr.able "america first" national security strategy. the former national security advisor wrote a scathing new op-ed, here's the tidbit. relinquishing the nation's moral authority in these times will only embolden rivals and weaken ourselves. it will make a mockery of the very idea of america first. from what i recall, the obama administration strategy to keep america out of danger did not exactly turn out so well. so, what do you make of those strong statement, strong wording? >> jesse: not prosecuted rescur ambassador in benghazi was not "america first" ." >> kimberly: or the rest of the americans that were there. >> jesse: leading from behind is not putting america first. that is what happen under obama and susan rice. irani and scott ritter, north korea moved up, isis took over a rack, russia took over the ukraine, syrian dictator gassing, china was left on contract. donald trump comes in and corrects every single one of these things. around deal in the cross hairs, sanctions on north

rice. >> thank you, mr. chairman. so this question is for director wray. earlier this week a canadian citizen pled quilty to charges he worked for the russian intelligence service as part of the 2013 yahoo hack that led to the theft of 500 million yahoo accounts. one of the largest cyberer breaches in history. three other conspirators including two other russian usb officers have been indicted by evaded arrest. this case is the first time the u.s. has issued criminal charges against russian officials for a cyberattack even though russian aggression has continued to rise in that area. we have seen large scale cyberattacks on u.s. companies, equifax, uber, verizon, they're just some of the biggest breaches this year. what other cyberattacks do you suspect russian involvement in? >>. [ inaudible ] >> without commenting on a specific investigation. i think you put your finger on what we view as a blended threat. it's particularly seen in the exact example you mentioned. the yahoo attack. where you have the blend of a nation state actor, in that case the russia

mr. conyers to resign. and i think the ultimatum was given. resign or i will be calling on you to -- >> here's what the democratic congressman, kathleen rice, sayingy pelosi's comments on sunday set women back and quite frankly, our party back for decades. what's your response to that? >> look, i think what happened with mr. conyers that day when he stepped off the judiciary committee was the first action. the leader had asked for an ethics hearing. were some of the comments -- i understand some of the members of the caucus did not like those comments, but after more women came and started talking about this issue with mr. conyers, he -- that the process was put in place to tray y to get him t step aside. you saw leader pelosi and mr. clyburn telling him that he should step down. >> it did take more time for them to say he should step down and already till people out there today saying nancy pelosi doesn't decide whether john conyers should step down. she's the head of the party. you cannot take the moral high ground on republicans who do bad things if you do not give the same treatment to democrats who have done bad things. what's fair is tar. if

a bag of rice to yemen let alone missiles or ballistic missiles and the size of the missile that you saw in the pictures with mr haley is quite large so it is. it is not the case that the u.n. has done that yemen has an army the army has been defending the country yemen is a sovereign country and the mini's army had missiles of different types before the war including but the sickness and it is no surprise for the yemenis army to use these missiles against the aggression that they're facing from the neighbor from the campus let's was like avatar john mark cut through agree with for i does the evidence here for short tell us about the weapons that we see behind you haley there in that military base. right there are two aspects here that we have to talk about there is a forensic part which as was rightly said before there are some shortcomings here and we're talking about a variant of skirt c. missiles that the iranian call on one and a who these a call them were going to and here the question is whether weapon originates from iran or not it could also originate from north korea because kind of korea also have th

mr. clapper in the white house situation room discussing north korea, ebola outbreaks, chemical weapons, and a gamut of national security issues. in the format of the principal committee meeting chaired by ambassador susan rice, and i was on the back bench. he was at the table. everye of you know, principals committee meeting begins with an intelligence of the. -- update. a ritualmost like prayer. mr. clapper went in town the latest update on whatever hard problem on the table that day. it has been my pleasure over my entire career to work with talented members of the intelligence community, and in particular to work with people who directly worked with mr. clapper in my last tour. i speak for not only myself, but in the of professionals intelligence, in protecting the integrity of humanity, which he led his -- the intelligence community from his role. he personifies the term leader. it is a special honor to be able to introduce you tonight. the other thing that shows the humility of that is i did a little bit of surveying some of his former teammates, and they said a favorite saying of his is that their job was to be in the engine room shoveling intel coal. i'm sure we will have more than from the conversat

rice cakes? >> if he is eating mcdonald's, he keeps it away from the press. his new book gives a look at the campaign. tom: this is mrrump diehards win over the weekend? we know the elites won. they tell us the middle class won. the core constituency? this tax cut bill polls poorly among the base. they may get some tax relief, but not the record size tax cut the president talks about. the idea is that some of that money will trickle down into the economy. they don't necessarily see that. it will be a couple years. francine: i guess the concern from a lot of the press is that all this money will not trickle down to the economy. ages.n't increase w the presidenting can do to make sure that the ceo's are on his message? >> there's not much he can do. -- he can tellim them to stop saying publicly what they are going to do. many are very public about saying they are going to use this money for dividends, share buybacks. the president doesn't have a power to tell the private sector what to do. he can encourage them to build more plants, trade rules to get them to put more money in the u.s., but he's really powerless to dir

rice, former ambassador is one of them. today in the "new york times" a lengthy article she penned says the following about america first, making american weak. in mr we live in a world where america wins only at other's expense. there is no common good, no international community, no universal values, only american values. america is no longer a global force for good as in president obama's last strategy or a shining city on a hill as in president reagan's vision. did you read that? >> i did. that's funny. look, we could deploy a truck load of ponies to hand out to isis, i don't think it will work. i guess i can agree on the broad terms in that we should be an example and a shining city on a hill like ronald reagan said. we have to compel people or some them an example of self-governance and what democracy can do. when you cross us, whether you are isis or adversary there will be a fierce response. the first thing the president and congress needs to think of is how do we protect american people and make american stronger? you don't do it on the backs of people. he is saying it's time to take care of ourselves at home and have an international stra
