known as mr. ed to those around him, he will be remembered for his unending passion to give all georgia students the best possible education. he began teaching at the bradwell institute in hinesville in 1950 beginning a a career that took him through many different perspectives in educating students. he quickly rose from teacher to principal and was rapidly elected superintendent of the liberty county school system where he earned the georgia superintendent of the year award. even when he retired from direct involvement with students, he began work for an architectural company to build numerous schools throughout the state of georgia until he was 90. perhaps most importantly mr. ed had perfect attendance for 38 straight years at bradwell football games. i truly believe that mr. ed's passion and energy to impact the lives of all students who stepped foot into the school system is model we can can all learn from. -- we can can can all learn from. -- we can all learn from. i nies to recognize mr. bob on

german politicians here in cologne for instance who are worried that mr ed or one might not seize thepportunity to talk about dialogue and tolerance and bring communities together that instead he might as he's often done in the past particularly in connection with religious events like this might strike a much more thorough tarion tone a more sort of. cheer leading tone for himself and for his own presidency and appeal to many people of turkish origin here in germany to remember their allegiance to the homeland as he would call it and you know use the platform of this inauguration today essentially to sort of make a quasi political speech which is something the german authorities have been unhappy about they're quite happy for the turkish president to come and. appear at an important occasion like this but they don't like the idea that he you know tends to rally a constituency here which are turned out as i said on the streets to show him that welcome and to wave the turkish flag and they don't like the idea that he should he should go further and sort of rail against the german state

reporter: mr president, who wrote the op—ed?l the president's men and women, make up this quiet resistance? reportert: how are you going to catch the op—ed writer, mr president? with more than 20 cabinet officials issuing denials, it remains washington's great unanswered question. for critics of the president, this article offers proof of a white house in chaos. for his supporters, it backs up his fervent claim that the political establishment and liberal media is out to get him. that what he calls the "deep state" is trying to subvert his presidency. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. let's take a look at some of the day's other news: it's a groundbreaking victory for gay rights, and it sparked celebrations outside india's supreme court. the country's highest court, has unanimously struck down, one of the world's oldest bans on consensual gay sex, overturning over 150 years of anti—lg bt legislation. in theirjudgement, the justices said, the indian constitution was not a "collection of mere dead letters" and should evolve with

as mr. ed royce just said, we seem to be enjoying a stronger, closer relationship with vietnam on trade and security. then we have this contradiction. contradiction that an american citizen is being detained, on jewel 7 michael wynn was touring vietnam, visiting relatives, and he was arrested. it's been almost two months. the charge, penal code 109 which is activity against the people's government. yet there are no facts that have been presented. no evidence. he's being hold, he's been arrested with no evidence being resented. his wife, his family are personal friend of mine. i know this family. that is why i don't understand why michael could have been arrested in vietnam. i ask the government of vietnam, please release michael. please release him back to his family and his country to the united states of america. with that, i yield back. mrs. walters: i recognize the co-chair of the congressional yield to mr. lowen that will. mr. lowenthal: i thank representative walters for yielding ap holdi

mr. president, are you going to find out who wrote the op-ed? >> who wrote it, mr. president? >> the president is reportedly raging about the traitors in his midst. to date, more than two-dozen top administration officials including the vice president of the united states. plus the first lady. although if you read her carefully, it is not explicitly a denial. but none of those denials are worth the pages they are written on. this image was online. saying he isn't now, or never been deep throat. mark -- he was deep throat. senator rand paul, the great libertarian, proposed everybody to take a lie detector test. >> this man is a coward. if it is a man or woman or is it really someone. i agree with the president. i think it is a real problem that they should come forward and say who this person is. >> a person who works in the administration serves at the pleasure of the president. it is a person who obviously is living in dishonesty. if you are not interested in helping the president, you shouldn't work for the president. >> other reaction which was what else is new. >> wasn't n

mr. chairman, i would like to ask unanimous consent to make part of the record a press release, an op-ed piece, mr. chairman, that talks about the importance of doing what my amendment would do. >> without objection. >> op-ed piece submitted to a texas newspaper by you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, sir. the gentleman yields back. mr. reid, you're recognized to speak on the amendment. >> just briefly. thank you for yielding me the time. i appreciate the sentiment of this amendment and the nature of the work that mr. pascrell and i have worked on over the years to try to bring permanency to this section of the tax code. even though i just received this amendment right now, so that's going to be a little difficult to support it in its format here as we sit today, but i wanted to send a message to mr. pascrell and to others that i think there's work we can do as we continue to improve the code. i'd encourage the chairman to consider the base nature of what we're trying to do in regards to disaster relief and our tax policy in america. with that, i yield back. >> mr. blumenauer, you're recogniz

mr. vice president. >> reporter: his suspicions raised by the op-ed's use of the word "load star."avors. >> you are a load star. >> reporter: but could load star be a loaded word, pointing to kellyanne conway? >> she is the kind of person who would find out that mike pence used the word load star a lot and put load star in to try to pin it on mike pence. >> reporter: colbert claimed he had an exclusive with anonymous. are you mike pence? >> no, i'm not. even mike pence's silhouette is white. >> reporter: on the betting site my bookie, people were putting their money on pence. omarosa offered a multiple choice survey. the vice president's chief of staff came in first. but enough of the whodunit. let's move on to who denies it. for instance, the vice president. >> he done it. >> reporter: he denies it. >> he done it. >> reporter: he denies it. >> yep. >> reporter: spraying the walls of denial. >> it was not them. ♪ it want me ♪ the words that i told her, it wasn't me ♪ >> reporter: someone tweeted a live look inside the white house as theytried to figure 80 who wrote the op said. bef

there is a hunt within the white house to find the author of this op-ed, but now we're also hearing from kellyanne conway who says mr. trump believes the author is not inside the white house but instead a member of the national security team. >> conway also denies that the op-ed has made the white house staff more paranoid. here is what she told christiane amanpour for her program which premieres monday. >> i'm not interested in an investigation. i guess those who are investigating, great. i really hope they find the person. i believe the person will put themselves or her self out though. people brag to the wrong person. they brag that they did this or they did that because i assume part of this isn't the goal here not what the op-ed pretends the goal here, isn't the goal to try to sow chaos and get us all suspicious of each other. >> so what you all getting suspicion of each other? >> no. >> and friday we saw a return of the former u.s. president barack obama keeping in mind that former presidents typically try to stay out of politics or avoid criticizing their successors. >> barack obama made a very public display

ed. mr. pinto: thank you, peter. first of all, there's some handouts on the table that includes a blue folder that has some of the documents that i referred to from the 1990's and early ought years. this started in 2004 or 2003, not true. second of all, documents i wrote seven years ago, forensic study on the financial crisis is in the binder -- the bound bounder with the spiral. -- bound binder with the spiral. i say that fannie and freddie were the leverage leaders and also mispricing leaders. we can look at countrywide and countrywide was paying about 12, 13 basis points for the guarantee fees, the guarantee that fannie and freddie was providing. countrywide was the largest customer of both. just the cost of keeping the doors something was something like eight basis points. they were really not counting anything for credit risk. one of the comments that's been made and throughout the discussion today has been about the federal -- the federal reserve role. you really have two punch bowls and i think where the fed m

mr. president. david: joining me, ed rollins.o talk about what obama was doing today to apply to that. is that zplect i don't recall ever hearing an american president attacking -- ed: certainly in modern times. the historians can tell you. i'm some of what an historian. i welcome him into the fray. if he thinks he can defend we did, he can pay a heavy price. when he was president his party lost seats every time he went on the campaign trail. i welcome him to try and argue his regulatory reform stuff that sunk the economy, his high tax or obamacare, or any of those things were good for this country, let's have the debate. david: what gets me about attacking president trump, he's always attacking president trump for doing things that are un-american. you and i cannot remember a president attacking a predecessor before. so he's the one who is actually doing something that is un-american. ed: he began the speech by talking about george washington. and obviously it would be much better if he went off and ran an academic institution o

ed: reach for tesla and mr. musk. joe rogan podcast anything can happen: rick you would be a good guest u. rick: thank you. pete: people don't know the many shades of rick reichmuth. rick: this has nothing to do with that last piece that we were watching with elon musk, flight. pete: no, no. not that just that you are an interesting guy. rick: people have no idea. pete: we should do a get to know rick reichmuth. rick: good to see you. happy you are here. so, right on track last weekend, if you remember, i was saying looks like we will be seeing hurricanes, the activity pick up. here we are. this the climate oka climatecli. tropical storm number 9, next one helene. we are not that worried about helene next two, what is still that tropical depression potentially moving in towards rhode island. this would be the first storm going there since the season last year with all that damage. this is where we are looking at now though, this cone for florence. take a look that the five days out at least according to the national hu

mr. mcgahn, did you write that op ed? >> no. >> nicely done. nicely done. >> no, no, no.

mr. mcgahn, did you write the op ed? >> do you know who did? >> reporter: top officials publicly pl ging allegiance saying they are not the source behind "the new york times" blistering op ed. one that would write an anonymous editorial smearing this president tha provided extraordinary leadership for this country should not be working for this administration. ep >>ter: the insider's identity, now washington's biggest mystery after "the times" with held a senior administration es official whoibes a quiet resistance to secretly stop the president from destruct decisions. now a loyalty list as one by one, 24 top officials including 21 tabinet members promisay it's not them. >> i'll answer your other question directly because someone will say gosh, you didn't answer the question. it's not mine. >> reporter: during watergate before president nixon resigned, everyone deep throat denied he was the urce with president trump on the hunt for his betrayer. multiple sources describe his mood as volcanic erupting not just over ed but at "the times" for pub

mr. trump's more misguide ed impulses until he's out of office. it's not every day that an administration official writes, the root of the problem is the president's amorality. anyone who works with him knows that he's not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making. or says, meetings with him veer off topic and off the rails. he engages in repetitive rants and his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed, and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back. and it is certainly not every day that you hear this from someone inside the administration. given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president, but no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis, so we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until, one way or another, it's over. now, when asked about the 25th amendment whispers today, sarah sanders said it's ridiculous, as ridiculo

mr. chairman, i would like to ask unanimous consent to make part of the record a press release, an op-ed piece, mr. chairman, that talks about the importance of doing what my amendment would do. >> without objection. >> op-ed piece submitted to a texas newspaper by you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, sir. the gentleman yields back. mr. reid, you're recognized to speak on the amendment. >> just briefly. thank you for yielding me the time. i appreciate the sentiment of this amendment and the nature of the work that mr. pascrell and i have worked on over the years to try to bring permanency to this section of the tax code. even though i just received this amendment right now, so that's going to be a little difficult to support it in its format here as we sit today, but i wanted to send a message to mr. pascrell and to others that i think there's work we can do as we continue to improve the code. i'd encourage the chairman to consider the base nature of what we're trying to do in regards to disaster relief and our tax policy in america. with that, i yield back. >> mr. blumenauer, you're recogniz

mr. chairman and i would like to have entered into the record the op-ed piece i referred to by john podesta and todd stern. >> without objection, it will be entered. let's go to senator krapo is next. >> thank you, mr. chairman, judge kavanaugh, welcome, thank you for your service to this country and thank you for the willingness you have expressed to take this additional assignment. thank you to your family. we welcome them as well. the process on which we're about to embark is one of maybe not the most important duties, and trusted to the senate. advice and consent on judicial nominations. ultimately a fair and proper judge, supreme court or otherwise, must follow the law and not make laws from the bench. upon receiving his nomination to serve as associate justice of the supreme court, judge kavanaugh stated, my judicial philosophy is straightforward. a judge must interpret statutes as written, and a judge must interpret the constitution as written informed by history and tradition and precedent. isn't that the ideal of a judge steadfastly committed to the law? no one seriously questions

and do they disrupt a white ed times" from mr. or miss anonymous is really not good. it is not good for the country, it is not good for the white house. it wouldn't be good under any president. so i'm a little bit offended by that and i think people who are serving in the white house who feel they have to do something to undermine the white house should leave the white house. they should stand up and be counted and say, i can't work here any more and i don't want to be part of this and do your criticism outside. don't do it inside. there is too much important work that needs to be done in the white house and don't get in the way of the work that needs to be done. they help better inform a president and we don't want to create a climate where people are afraid to work in the white house or afraid to work with a colleague because they think he may be someone who is not there for the right reasons. so it is a terrible thing that happened in the white house and i'm sure the president is very upset with it. i suspect john kelly is very upset with it. it is his job to have

mr. president who wrote the op-ed. >> the hunt for the resistance is on. >> it could be someone in the west wing. >> says it is time for the 25th amendment. >> for contempt. >> bring it. >> i would correct the senators statement, there is no rule, there is a rule that applies. >> then apply the rule and bring the charges. i stand by the public's right to have access to this document. >> tonight, what we are learning from the kavanaugh e-mails that republicans didn't want you to see. >> i think you are thinking of someone and you

mr. vice president. >> the op-ed's use of the word -- a weird word. >> she's the kind of person that would find out mike pence used it a lot and tried to pin it on mike pence. >> he said he had an exclusive with anonymous. >> are you mike pence? >> no, i'm not. even mike pence's silhouette is white. >> on my bookie, people were putting money on pence. omarosa offered a multiple choice survey, the chief of staff came in first. but enough with the who done it. let's move to who denies it. for instance, the vice president. >> he done it. >> he denies it. >> he done it. >> he denies it. >> nah. >> up sprang walls of denial. >> it was not them. >> it's not me, i didn't do it. ♪ it wasn't me. >> someone tweeted a live look inside the white house as they try to figure out who wrote the op-ed. but if you're going to rip into. >> anonymous. >> better learn how to say it. >> anonymous, anonymous, gutless. >> jeanne moos, cnn. >> who do you think wrote the "new york times" op-ed? >> very smart people. >> new york. >> i can imagine people that didn't make the cut

"the new york times" had an op-ed yesterday saying stay out of venezuela mr. trump. an american backed coup is not the answer. your response to that op-ed and what the u.s. is doing with venezuela. >> i'm not going to address rumors about a coup. what i would tell you is he needs to go. i was on the venezuelan border a month ago, what i saw, literally a million people across that border every day for their only meal. you have people bringing their last possessions to sell in columbia just to buy food. this is all because of failed socialism that lead to corruption, a dictatorship, and poverty. inflation is about to hit the one million percent market there. to say that the u.s. should stay out -- what we've done is we've sent money in. the hard part is nicolas maduro will not take any assistance, the aid that they government does except in their skimming off the people. >> bret: i mention the failed state possibility earlier but this seems like it's heading down that road. >> were seeing this in venezuela and now were seeing it in nicaragua. the one thing we have to se

ed. >> great to see you, mrs. ford and judge kavanaugh have been invited to testify monday. kavanaugh will testify tomorrow if he wants to, he's eager to clear his name. democrat diane feinstein has known about anonymous allegation since july and not said anything until late last week, president trump noted today, telling reporters, the senator should have had the courage to confront brett kavanaugh face-to-face. philip wingmen writing, chuck schumer, dick durbin were when charges of rape were alleged against bill clinton. juanita broadderick. he was not a teenager, he was in arkansas in 1978. the senate was in middle of impeachment trial in 1999, not one democrat called for investigation into broadderick accusation. dick durbin tweeted over the weekend, if the me too movement taught us anything, respect and listen to survivors of sexual assault regardless of the age or when the alleged attack took place. broadderick was not buying it, well, dick, do i have a story for you, once upon a time, bill clinton raped me. you voted not guilty on both accounts and didn't give a dam,

mr. chairman, all three of you wrote an op-ed the rent in the new times over the weekend speaking to this issue about the next crisis and what tools we have and what tools we don't have to deal with this. if, in fact, a large, major financial institution had a significant problem, think of one of the top three or four banks in this country, do you think that we would actually follow through on using the tools and methods that are laid out for us, or do you think they would be a political will at that point to say, we can't roll the dice and see if this works, we will have to step in all over again? .. you get too close to the risk of the great depression for congress to ultimately authorize authority. i think it's a choice that no country makes around the world and i don't think it's the right choice for us as a country. >> mr. chairman you ran an op-ed that ran in the new york times, speaking to this issue about the next crisis and what tools we have and what we don't have. if a large major financial institution in this country had i can tell you as a former bureaucrat that we have a pro

supporting confirmation, without objection i'll enter the in the record all 30 of these op-eds. >> mr. chairman, while we're on that exact point, there are four committee confidential documents that i wanted to be able able to question our witness about today, the nominee, the judge. i'd like to submit those for the record. they reveal his thinking on unitary executive theory. >> i can ad vat thvocate that y them and we will put into it, just like we said senator leahy, give us the citations and we'll try to get them. so far, we've been very fortunate. senator sass? >> thank you, mr. chairman. judge, by my count, you're about half done. congratulations. you're going to be here past midnight i think. i also want to talk about limited government in general and limits on executive power in particular. senator cruz did a nice job complimenting the capitol police, in a tough environment to manage and i think we are all glad that people have the right to express their first amendment views and have the right to protest. i don't want to draw too much more attention to it, though, because i t

mr. vice president, i asked you earlier if anyone on your staff wrote this op-ed. have you asked your staff? >> well, i thought you were speaking about the administration staff. let me be very clear i'm 100% confident that no one on the vice president's staff was involved in this anonymous editorial. my p, rgaret. they get up every day and they're dedicated just as much as i am to advancing the president's agenda and suppor supporting everything that president trump is doing for the people of this country. >> brennan: you asked them? >> you know, honestly, i don't have to ask them. because i know them. i know their character. i know their dedication and i am absolutely confident that no one on the vice president's staff had anything to do with this. but that being said, you know, whoever this was, they should do the honorable thing and resign. >> brennan: we'll be back in one minute with top democrat on the senate intelligence committee, mark warner. so it's no surprise that the company that led the charge to fast, who built the nation's largest gig-speed network,

mr. chairman, i'd like to introduce and ask unanimous consent to enter an op-ed from the san bernardino sun editorial board stating that brett kavanaugh nomination might be the calm before the storm. the editorial board says that judge kavanaugh is and probably credentialed, conventionally conservative and less likely than others to overturn landmark culture were caselaw in addition to qualifications and nationwide respect, judge kavanaugh brings normality and judicial cohesion. i asking in this consent to introduce us to the record. >> without objection. >> mr. chairman, the san diego union tribune come and supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh may be more than you expect. this op-ed goes forward to say that it is strongly the editorial board is strongly inclined to support the confirmation has endorse nominees from both republican in the past for the board in picking justices, so long as they have the requisite credentials and applaud judge kavanaugh straight out of central report casting. ask unanimous consent to put this in the record. he met without objection. >> the harvard black law

ed ruskin. [applause] >> thank you mr mayor, madame mayer, madame leader and everyone here. it is great to see so many people here on this occasion. i see so many faces out here representing people and organizations and institutions that came together to make this center a reality, i can tell you that the director of transportation for the city and county of san francisco, i could not be more thrilled that we are here at this milestone today. from a transportation standpoint, and i think we have heard from the speakers, this facility is about much more than transportation. from a transportation standpoi standpoint, this facility on the start of operations is a game changer for our city and for our region. the ability for people to get in and out of our downtown and particularly for those coming from the east bay, will be a significantly better and more pleasant experience. that is exactly what we should be doing. that is of course, as we heard, the first phase pick the next phase, when we have below us the normal -- the northern terminus of california high-speed rail and of

between bob woodward's book and the anonymous op-ed, the collective portrayal mr. trump may not be fully in charge of his own white house, surrounded by advisors who consider them so volatile and temperamental they swipe documents from his desk and hope to keep him from issuing rash orders. it is notable they take documents from his desk, the larger problem ask they don't trust him with paper. >> i don't think it's noble. this is gary cohn going to bob woodward and awarding himself the medal of honor for stealing a paper off the resolute desk. i don't understand that. we live in a democracy. donald trump was duly elected. either you go to serve him, you give him advice, he takes it or leaves it, or you think he's so mentally incapable of taking your advice he needs to be removed. in that case it's your job to do everything you can to try to remove him, not steal paper off his desk every now and then. one day you're not going to be in front of his desk. gary cohn isn't in front of his desk now. >> he doesn't have anything to worry about, his livelihood or his future

mr. president who wrote the op-ed. >> the hunt for the resistance is on.all the denials from his top staffers.

congressman ed royce chaired the 50 minute hearing. mr. royce: the committee will come to order. we meet today to consider a single item. pursuant to notice for purposes of markup i call up house resolution 1017 requesting the
