mr. brooks. mr. brooks: thank you, madam chairman. dr. kopp, i'm looking at your written testimony as opposed to your orel testimony. on page 3 you state, quote, climate change is real. it is here now. and humans are responsible for it, end quote. is that an accurate statement of your quote? dr. kopp: yes, it is. mr. brooks: on page five of your written testimony you said, quote global average sea level has wrizzen by about eight inches since 1900, end quote, citing the climate science special report earth national climate assessment. is that an accurate reading of that quote? dr. kopp: yes, it is. mr. brook: are you familiar with thert's last glacial maximum roughly 21,000 years ago? dr. kopp: i am. mr. brooks: is it fair to say the last seave levels during the glags maximum were 100 feet lower than they are today? dr. kopp: yes, it is. mr. brooks: would it also be fair to say that sea levels over the last 21,000 years, 400 divided by 21,000 or 210 centuries, sea levels have wrizzen on average over that 21,000-year period of time at roug

mr. brooks. >> california's for energy choice, mr. brooks again. i would urge you as i have in the past to be as jealous of your funds as possible and careful as possible. make sure you name down what is said so we get all of your funds. in light of the importance of the world war ii mobilization we have to get going. i would like to see you dedicate full funding to yourself instead of kicking it back to the board of supervisors right now. this is a key time the lafco needs to be strong, including things like the public bank work we need to get on as well. thanks. >> thank you very ever. public comment be is now closed. please call item 6. on. >> no action on item 5. the executive officer's report. >> mr. goebel. >> this is bee be brief. march 15th is the date of our regular lafco meeting. the clerk at the p.u.c. is poling -- polling the commissioners to make sure that is okay. i want to make sure it works for you on that day. i will work with the staff to develop the agenda for that meeting and put in a request to use room 250. >> thank you very m

mr. brooks. >> eric brooks speaking for the green party and for our city san francisco. it is a good preliminary report raising the important issues that need to be raised. it is lacking an important perspective theme aticly to get back on the table that is that in the beginning of the sharing economy, it was sharing. it was people individually contacting each other through the internet to share jobs and rides and resources. then the people that started uber and lift came along. if we stick ourselves in the middle of the relationship we can make a profit off this. they developed software. that is all they are is code. it is software but they stick in between the customer and the rider and driver to just make money. there is no reason for uber and lyft to exist at all. mta could develop the same code not-for-profit, city run and owned, all drivers could work for the city, get city benefits, the whole nine yards. that is the one thing i say a theme ongoing in the future. we need to get away the idea we allow them to exist in our community at all. the other thing with the p

mr. brooks. any other members of the public that would like to speak now. seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, would you read item number 7. >> future agenda items. >> colleagues, any future agenda items to note seeing none, we'll open up this for public comments. >> mr. brooks? >> yes, california for energy choice, san francisco clean energy advocates. so the good news is that i've got is that as of late last year an early in this year, we've been meeting with especially the chair of this commission, miss furer and also the people in the mayor's office, workforce development and the mayor's environmental adviser to talk about whether we do public power or stay with clean power sf. under either scenario, right now we're not building clean energy in san francisco. since the beginning of this process that i got involved in 15 years ago and others got involved in this, even longer time ago, we've been asking for a city-wide, county-wide, clean energy build-out plan that's spectaculasimilar to the sydneya plan. it's an amazing plan. the only prob

the clerk: leaves of absence requested for mrs. brooks of indiana for today, mr. quigley of illinois for today, and mrs. watson coleman for today. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the requests are granted. under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2019, the gentleman from north carolina, mr. walker, is recognized for 60 minutes as designee of the minority leader. mr. walker: thank you, mr. speaker. i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five lesks -- legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the topic of this special order. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. walker: thank you, mr. speaker. first thing i would like to do is extend our deepest sympathies, prayers, certainly our thoughts go out to the family of john dingell and walter jones. did not know mr. dingell. only came after and served with his lovely wife, debbie dingell, but certainly wish all of their family our extended prayers. and the same goes for one of our north carolina delegation members, walter jones. his fami

mr. brooks, for five minutes. mr. speaker, in fiscal year 2018 more than 2,000 illegal aliens were apprehended by federal agents for homicides committed on american soil. in addition, over 70,000 americans are killed each year by poisonous drugs, much of which is shipped illegally into america across our pourous southern border by illegal aliens, ms-13, and other drug cartels. stronger border security, which must include wall construction, will save thousands of american lives each year. unfortunately, in the worst betrayal of america in history, socialist democrats motivated by a lufment. st for political power, selfishly elevate illegal aliens over american citizens because illegal alien families overwhelmingly rely on welfare, thus making them highly reliable democrat voters who elect socialist democrat politicians by deluding the votes of american -- diluting the votes of american citizens. as much as socialist democrats refuse to protect american lives from illegal alien homicides, drug deaths, and america's poro

mr. brooks. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> a committee approved three articles of impeachment. >> aye. >> ayeuction of justice, contempt of congress, abuse of power. >> mr. hutchinson. >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> mr. rodino? >> aye. >> chairman peter rodino left the room and cried. official impeachment would come later with a full house vote, but it never happened. nixon's wall of republican defenders had crumbled. >> there's a countdown of sorts on tonight, a countdown toward the expected end of the nixon presidency. >> tonight at 9:00 eastern daylight time, the president of the united states will address the nation. >> it was over. >> i have never been a quitter. to leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. but as president, i must put the interests of america first. therefore, i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. >> the impeachment the framers had imagined, it worked. democracy worked. >> there is the president waving good-bye, and you hear the applause. >> but the scandal itself triggered a loss of faith in govern

legere, i'm going to ask you and mr. brook the same question but a different way and hold you each to 45 seconds because i only have five minutes. tell me, mr. legere, why you think this merger is different than other mergers in the past in highly concentrated areas? tell me why you think this isn't going to result in some of the things we've seen in other mergers where it did raise prices and it didn't bring competition? what's different about this? >> thank you, mr. chairman. in general, the issue with mergers is that industries consolidate supply goes down, prices go up and jobs are eliminated. this is a unique merger where the outcome of this merger will be a significant increase in supply in the form of eight times the capacity that our network will make available. it will bring in 87% decline in the price per gig of data and jobs will go up. this is dramatically different. it's unique. it's advent of 5g. the complimentary nature of these networks increases supply significantly which will decrease prices. that's quite dif

mr. brooks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. brooks: mr. speaker, in iscal year 2018, more than 2,000 illegal aliens were apprehended by federal agents for homicide committed on american soil. worse yet, roughly 31,000 americans die each year from heroin and cocaine overdoses, 90% of which floods across america's po rouse southern border. hence we can expect at least 33,000 dead americans each year until america secures our po rouse southern border. for perspective, the 9/11 terrorist attacks killed roughly 3,000 people. in response, america invaded iraq and afghanistan at a cost of trillions of dollars and roughly 7,000 lost military personnel lives. saving americans should be a bipartisan issue. yet, here we are. republicans seek to prevent another 33,000 dead americans this year while partisan democrats seek to embarrass and stop president trump from securing america's po rouse southern border and saving american lives. for emphasis, no, no national emergency in history has been prompted by more dead americans than president trump's nati

it's just a fact, brooke. mr. cohen is a convicted liar.o me -- >> you'd be asking those questions? you'd be asking those questions? >> sure, i would, but i think he's an angry man. he's bitter. he's a little unbalanced. i'm not saying he's crazy or as my son might say, i'm not saying he's a bunny baller but he's a little unbalanced -- >> a bunny bowler? you bring some new vocab to the conversation. >> take a nonsensical approach. would i take his check? and the answer's probably not and i don't think he would -- >> can you tell me why not a single republican defended the substance of the allegations regarding the president? they ripped into him, liar, liar pants on fire, where was the defense of the president? >> the guy doesn't have a good background for veracity, brooke. >> that's not what i'm asking about. i'm asking about the president and the accusations. >> he did -- mr. cohen has presented all that information to the special counsel. i assume he's going to look at it -- >> his signature was on the check, senator kennedy. >> right an

mr. brooks? >> thank you, mr. chairman. 9/11, as we all know, resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 americans in new york, pennsylvania, virginia, and the washington, d.c. area. and the net effect of the loss of those 3,000 lives was to invade iraq and afghanistan at the cost of trillions of dollars and many thousands of lost lives by military personnel and civilian support personnel. in contrast, illegal aliens cause roughly 2,000 homicides on american soil per year, at least over 2,000 illegal aliens were apprehended by federal law enforcement officers in fiscal year 2018 for homicides. and as mentioned earlier, by congresswoman hartzler and congresswoman scott, drug overdoses cost roughly 70,000 american lives per year and the evidence is overwhelming that a substantial portion of the drugs, those poisons that cause the loss of american lives, come across our southern border illegally. in terms of lost american lives, then, our southern border, combined with the homicides of illegal aliens, far exceeds the los

mr. brook, if i can start my questioning with you. my district is a microcosm of the country going from toledo to suburban neighborhoods to small communities and sparsely rural counties. the state of new york is also well known for being split between rural and urban communities. what lessons can the committee draw from the new york public safety commission's approval of this merger last week in terms of benefits on both for the rural and urban communities? >> sure. yes, thank you for the question. yes, the new york public service commission, i think the main takeaway is that this public service commission took a hard look at this merger, determined that it was in the public interest and allowed it to go forward with minimal conditions, conditions related to jobs. it saw it was benefiting the state long term. as far as your question regarding both urban and rural areas, i think the most important point, again, is this combination of complimentary spectrum assets. you have the low band 600 megahertz spectrum that provides great coverag

while at the brookings institution, he outlined his top defense priorities and answered questions about the defense budget. this is about 45 minutes. mr. moulton: good morning, everyone. and welcome to brookings. i'm with the foreign policy program and it's my honor to emcee this event with congressman seth moulton today. seth is beginning his third term in the sixth district of massachusetts. which includes his native town of mabblehead. he is a four-time iraq war veteran who joined the marine corps after gragg from harvard and before that phillips academy. studying physics andujar vard and deciding with all that background, what he wanted toot most was serve -- what he wanted to do most was serve his country. not knowing that 9/11 was around the corner. we know about seth's important work in congress. he's received the awards for the most effective freshman member a couple years ago. also he's worked on issues such as getting veterans their health care faster, making government more efficient in seemingly mundane but important matters like travel. these are some of the bills and subject areas that he's worked on. he's been important

the special forces they have been sporadically perhaps in the view of the opposition, brooke, trying to intimidate mrng it fairly carefully here offering talks about talks if you like with the opposition but rejecting outright the oppositions demand for presidential elections and it is that refusal to revisit the elections has meant that many in the international community, particularly european nations and the united states have come in behind and are now recognizing mr. guaido as the official

. >> harsh terms, brooke, i want to be fair and preface this what mr.be describes in the return-up to the 2016 election was a wholly different time. we have the benefit now of 20/20 hindsight. it's fair both people can look at the decisions he and comey made. some can argue they were the right decisions at the time. some can argue they weren't. that's not my issue with mr. mccabe. the reason i said he's a pitiable figure the more he and comey talk now after having been fired the worse things get and why is that? mr. mccabe was fired for an unconscionable sin in the fbi, for a lack of candor, which is a euphemism in the department of justice for lying under oath. he's had differences with many of the people he's gone out of his way to attack in the book. look, i am not defending the president and some of the things the defendant said punching down career servant is also equally unconshunable. when an fbi stands up in the witness box and raises their hand to tell the truth the whole truth, nothing but the truth, they have to be believed. in this instance,

mr. speaker. i rise today to express my strong support of h.r. 501, the poison center network enhancement act of 2019, introduced by representative brooks and engel. i thank my energy and commerce colleagues for their bipartisan work on this important initiative. this legislation will re-authorize the national toll-free number, public awareness campaign, and grant program that supports the nation's 55 poison centers. these centers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide free and confidential assistance with emergencies and other information to help prevent poisoning. as of january, 2019, poison control centers have managed over 4,000 opioid exposure cases alone. at a time when our nation is still fighting to overcome an opioid crisis, these centers are on the frontlines helping to save individuals who overdose. furthermore, these centers collect real-time data, enhancing public health surveillance, and aiding in the detection of public health emergencies. i urge passage of this bill and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman has the onl

america and he is a senior fellow at the brookings institution he joins us tonight in our washington bureau good evening it's good to have you on the program mr because i want to ask you what do you make of the situation as it is tonight i mean following the weekend violence today's lema group meeting and warnings from the vice president it doesn't change the fact that the military is not changing sides. well i think we're seeing a very important next phase in this conflict and so far we're seeing it stay within certain boundaries but pushing at the edges and in the last say forty eight hours the pressure that mother is facing from the international community from nation to get that humanitarian aid into the country is forcing him to take violent action against venezuelans who are trying to bring this aid in of course he's casting it as an american trojan horse that's trying to foment a coup i think of course with every situation there are two ways of looking at this problem today is very interesting because vice president pence flew to colombia to meet with the in term president one why you know to announce additional humanitarian assistance

now brooke, i think we'll see the evidence challenged, and we'll see, you know, if mr. avenatti brought a videotape and, of course, people have looked and seen the tape. the first time around, 2002, there was such a tape. we've been here before. he was acquitted of the charges, of course. it involved allegedly him having sex with a minor. that person didn't testify at the trial. there was disputes as to whether r. kelly was on the tape. this tape apparently there's a lot more clarity. still, you're going to question where the tape came from, the authenticity, it was superimposed. you're going to look and evaluate the testimony because the grand jury doesn't just look at a tape, they hear testimony. and you can't help as we all sit here, i'm sure anyone at home, to listen to all the women who had something to say just a few minutes ago. it has an effect. and the open question for me is during the course of the trial, how many judges, if there is a trial, there's a lot that could occur, how many of those women will the judge permit to testify as to his alleged prior bad b

brookings, brookings.edu. good morning. caller: good morning. mr.'hanlon, can you tell me if afghanistan is in the best case governable and its current state? guest: that is a great question. thank you for your conciseness. not in the remote part of the country. i think the remote parts of the country are just too far removed from the government's control. there are some schools in remote areas, so that is progress from where they were in the 1980's or 1990's, but it is not what you are thinking, i don't believe, when you ask that weston in that way. the question in that way. the city sort of function. countryrelatively poor with a relatively weak history of becoming a cohesive state, but you see traffic moving, you see stores open, schools open, police manning traffic lights, and the government has some influence at least in the cities and the major towns, so i see progress. unfortunately, if i were going to chart the progress over time, there was a lot of movement in a good direction after 9/11, in that first decade, where we sort of plateaued, an

brooke? >> jessica, thank you. let's listen in to the press conference. >> -- the safety of our community, particularly given the position of trust that mr. hasson held with the united states government. i am very thankful for the diligent and skilled investigation of the fbi and the coast guard investigative service who worked with prosecutors in my office to conduct a thorough investigation and thankfully we were able to avoid and prevent any loss of life in this case. i should also comment that at this point none of the charges that mr. hasson is facing have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. in our system of justice, of course, that means that mr. hasson is innocent right now of the charges that he is facing. right now i'll turn it over to mr. johnson. >> all right. so there you have it. that's what jessica was just reporting on there. i want to move on because in just a couple of minutes, "empire" star jussie smollett will appear in court for the first time since making what police are now saying were completely fabricated allegations and staging a bogus hate crime. he is now under arrest. he is facing a felony charge of disorder
