mr. brooks, for five minutes. mr. speaker, this week america celebrates the 50th anniversary of one of mankinds and america's greatest achievements, walking on the surface of the moon. although then only a child, i well remember the earth shake and the dishes in our kitchen cabinets rattle as the apollo 5 engines were tested nearby. even now, 50 years after watching the moon landing, i get chills remembering when apollo astronauts landed and later planted the flag on the moon's surface. it was american ingenuity, boldness, technical prowess, and economic might that made this historic achievement possible. i'm proud to say the legacy of the apollo 11 moon landing lives on in the tennessee valley of alabama that i represent. some history is in order. the tennessee valley's marshall space flight center is the birthplace of america's space program. americans generally and alabamians in particular designed and engineered the saturn 5 rocket that launched the historic apollo 11 and took american astronauts to the moon. i wi

mr. brooks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. brooks: venezuela is one of e natural resource richest nation on the planet. oil, top five reserves in the world. the problem with venezuela is not its people other than who they elected and the problem is not the lack of resources that should empower those people to wealthy, rather the problem in venezuela is self-inflicted adoption of sosmism. and let's be clear about the economic havoc that is now occurring in the venezuela. we have starvation. in one recent study, average adult over a year's period of time had a weight loss of 20 pounds because they couldn't get the calories needed to sustain their body weight. riots have resulted. inflation, a few years ago, was over 1,000 percent and today, inflation in venezuela is as high as 10 million percent. the currency is worthless. so venezuela has been brought to its knees by the adoption of socialism. and i find it ironic that so many in america now advocate the suppression of free enter price and the liberty on which it is based and th

mr. brooks. public comment is now closed. i'd like to make a motion to move this with a positive recommendation. >>> second. >> chairwoman: seconded. take that without objection. thank you very much. good work. and mr. clerk, will you please call item number six. >> item number six is the executive officer's report. >> chairwoman: mar global, havmr. global, you havea presentation for us? >> yes. thank you. i have a couple of items. i would like to give you an update on the budget and fundraising progress for our study of on-demand workers. the team is putting together a revised budget, and it is very possible that the budget is going to increase -- actually, we're hoping it will increase and be somewhere in the neighborhood of $450,000. we have been planning and seeking funds for a budget of $300,000. why the higher cost? it has to do with the options that they're considering for the survey. the first option would be an online survey. and there are some pluses and minuses to it. it would cost less, but the downside is they rea

mr. brooks, for five minutes. the president is commander in chief, his highest constitutional duty is protecting american lives. as of 2016, so-called refugee admissions from the middle east, near east, south asia, and africa accounted for 80% of so-called refugee admissions into america. i say so-called refugees because the united nations states no country is obligated by international law to take refugees from a country in which they are already protected. the result of america's flawed policy, america is the world's top refugee resettlement country on the planet. in a 2015 breitbart interview, i opposed these dangerous refugee policies and stated, quote, barack obama wants to endanger americans by importing people, some of whom undoubtedly will resort to terrorism and killing americans at some point in the future, end quote. consistent with my view that importing unvetted people from terrorist laden countries threatens american lives, the house in 2015 passed a law requiring a full f.b.i. background investigati

mr. brooke isa, , has a temperature of the historic in this country as high as it is today? >> yes.e had a civil war. i hate the phrase cold civil war. you probably see that a lot. i i want to smack of those peop. we had 750,000 men died in the civil war. we just upped the figure. i know the a story who did it. he was a demographic historian and officially recognized figure for the longest time was six or 20 or six and 3000, those of the death reports from the union of csa. he just looked at the census and he said, you know where missing 130,000 men. so okay, 750,000 people, that would be 7.5 million people know, we're not there. i don't think we are at the level of the founders were. that's kind of my period. these great men who i revere, they went berserk in politics. i mean, secession plots. there was dueling. >> that's a a big difference. they killed each other. hamilton wasn't the only one. there was another sign of the constitution q and a duel. i just wrote a book about john marshall. one of his colleagues on the supreme court, , republican, fit republican jeffersonian appoin

mr. brooks, three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from alabama is recognized for three minutes. mr. brooks: mr. speaker, socialist democrats support open borders. open borders mean a literal sue nanny of illegal alien -- tsunami of illegal alien labor that suppresses american wages. this is economics 101. if the supply goes up, everything else being constant, the price goes down. the way to raise wages is simple. america must stop importing cheap foreign labor that takes american jobs from american workers and suppresses the wages of hardworking americans who need that money for their families. the question is, do we care enough about american family incomes to secure our borders and stop the flood of illegal alien labor that suppresses american wages? of course not. instead, there are those who seek an imperial decree for a $15 per hour minimum wage. that all sounds fine and good, socialist policies always have a cost. and according to the nonpartisan congressional budget office, that cost is a

mr. olson, -- ms. brooks. also thank mr. clarke, mr. rouda, ms. foxx for ending the one ring scam act which is added. thank mr. crist for his task force act which was added to section 11, mr. butterfield, mr. johnson, mr. soto for introducing the tracing back and catching unlawful robo calls act which was added in section 13 and mrs. dingell and dr. burgess for their protecting patients and doctors, which is added to the bill in section 14 and mr. flores and mr. mcnerney to increase the financial penalties and i want to thank my partners, mr. walden and mr. latta for working with me to introduce the bill which included an introduction in section 8. i also would like to thank the staff, alex, a.j., jennifer, dan, robin, tim for all their hard work and jerry for all the time and energy to get this ball to the floor. i'm proud of our members and staff. i would like to insert a few letters and statements for the record. a letter from aarp on behalf of the 38 million members. second, a letter from more than 80 organizes representing consumers throughou

mr. brooks, good to see you. >> good to see you all, too. eric brooks, san francisco clean energy advocates and californians for energy choice. so just to kind of reiterate where i've said before, if i were the head of the s.f. p.u.c., and the power enterprise, that is the plan i would put together because the p.u.c. is an enterprise department that is supposed to focus mainly on a conservative approach and protect rate-payers. so there is nothing wrong with what the s.f. p.u.c. just showed to you. but it shows that. s.f. p.u.c. is not the place where we're going to get a city build-out that will reverse the climate crisis. produced locally and regionly by 2030, which is what it is going to take to overcome the crisis. when ab117 was created, it put the elected body in charge of the program, and that's the clean s.f. board of supervisors. that's where we need a city-wide buildout plan to come from. it is so important that you hire a contractor as soon as you can so we can get that plan planned out so that we don't have to try to put a square

mr. brooks, for five minutes. mr. speaker, president herbert hoover once stated, blessed are the young for they will inherit the national debt. four young interns in my office, nathan olson, jill oxley, austin snell, and tyler wiley, recently shared their concerns about the debt burden they will inherit from debt-addicted washington politicians. these remarks reflect their concerns. ironically, their concerns coincide with a massive $2 trillion deficit bill congress will soon vote on that be queethed at least $24 trillion in debt to america's future generations. it is the greatest disservice ever done by one american generation to another. my interns itemized three ways which debt endangers america. first, excessive debt and borrowing compete with and crowd out private borrower investment opportunities by decreasing available credit, thereby, costing american jobs and better incomes. according to the congressional budget office, when the government borrows, it borrows from people in and businesses which limits -- peop

mr brooks said they would not erect a statue until andy retires. wimbledon is largely dry. we are going to see sunshine through the day, the cloud will thin and break. once again there is the outside chance of a shower. temperatures getting up to 25 degrees with just a light breeze. for the uk as a whole the forecast is one of scattered showers. there is a lot of cloud around this morning. that will break through the course of the morning and we will start to see some sunshine coming through. especially through the afternoon, as temperatures rise, once again we will see the showers some will be heavy and some will be thundery. the bulk of them will be across the north and through the central spine of the uk. this morning we do have some showers already across parts of northern scotland, a fair bit of cloud around, as we come south, at nine o'clock, the cloud is breaking. for northern ireland this morning, you have a cloudy start. fairly cloudy throughout the day with the odd spot. a north—west england also prone to more cloud, england seeing someth

mr. khashoggi's killing constituted annexed or judicial killing for which the state of thinking them saudi arabia is responsible. from the brookings institution, this is one hour and 15 minutes. mr. sachs: ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us. whether by c-span or in the room with us. my name is natan sachs, and i am the director of the center for middle east policy at the brookings institution and on behalf of the center, the brookings institution large, i want to welcome you again. we have a special event and a full house to boot. this is not the first event in washington on this general topic , and i think it is a fair question to ask why, why are we focusing on the murder of one individual? i think that is the topic that will come up in our discussion today, of course. i think two points are worth pointing out at first, and perhaps even right here -- i've said this here before. brookings has a quaint notion that facts matter. it is controversial, but we do . and we think that norms might matter or should matter. perhaps more open for debate on which norms and when. in that sense, i cannot think of a better event to s

brook. and today's programme we look back on blockbuster season, the hits and the mrs, plus a special reporte movies. —— ageism. the season's top three heavy hitters have been a toy story sequel, and allowed in full, and a new spider—man film, spider—man far from home. those films have been doing fantastic business around the world. of course that doesn't mean each represents brilliant cinema. to explore block buster season in more detail, a joint by a panel of experts. tell me, if you look at the top films in the box office right now they are either remakes or sequels, has hollywood lost originality? i think they are desperate to make money so they are trying to fill seats. we know that the soldier brings people in so they really haven't gambled on anything to new right now. # prince our mighty as he... it is significant to me that a lot of the summer's sequels and remakes are rooted in the styles of from about 25 years ago, which is when most millennials we re ago, which is when most millennials were kids. so now millennials have their own kids and so there is an aspect of just their own k

let's discuss what it means with brookings institution visiting fellow james herchek and senior fellow for the national interest, mresident trump tweeted iran has just issued a new warning, rouhani said they'll enrich uranium to any amount we want there there's no change in the agreement. christian, what's your reaction? >> i think it's good to be clear with iran what the consequences are. the iranians are shown the fundamental flaws of obama's deal, trying to use nuclear blackmail which it's done. the iran deal left iran with all of the capabilities, the centrifugeles it needs on crank up the uranium, to build the bomb, it needs to go on from there. has the basic capabilities for a plutonium bombs, with the reactors. i think the president is going to have to strike iran eventually. he does not need permission from congress to do so. i hope it doesn't come to that. but the iranians seem to be uncontained here. >> some conservative national security senators marco rubio, ted cruz, tom cotton urging president trump to increase pressure on the nuclear program. is that a smart move, james? >> he should, and i agree wit

susan brooks, ryan fitzpatrick, will heard, fred upton, and justin amash voted in favor with all democrats. next, we show you the full debate starting with jerrold nadler. er: mr. speaker, the comments described in this resolution were not just offensive to our colleagues, they were inconsistent with the principles and values upon which this nation was founded. in urging four female members of congress of color to quote, go back where they came from, these comments are not only factually incorrect but they were also deeply hurtful and divisive. these were shocking comments, even from an administration that rips children from the arms of their parents and warehouses asylum seekers in facilities under inhumane conditions. we cannot let this moment pass without a forceful condemnation. need i remind the speaker that this is the same president who defended the quote, very fine people at the neo-nazi march on charlottesville, who denounced the quote, s-hole countries in africa and the caribbean. who claimed that haitian immigrants, quote, all have aids. and declared a mexican american judge born in the united states had a quote inherent conflict of interest against

mr. kim alone constitutes diplomatic success. on sunday, the president asserted that the tremendous danger from north korea he inherited when he took office has passed, we're a lot safer today. >> this is so crazy, brookereason why there is was an elevated danger was because donald trump was talking about going to war in his first year in office. when he stopped talking about going to war, the danger receded. and this notion that he's achieved something that nobody else has achieved by becoming pals with kim jong-un. that's ridiculous. any president could have easily gone to north korea. any north korean dictator would have been happy to meet with any american president. but no previous president was willing to do that unless they had some concrete guarantees they were going to get something in return. and trump is happy to give away america's prestige and not get anything else in return. >> meantime, juxtaposed with what's happening in iran, trump has taken a hard line on iran. iran, according to zarif have blown past the enriched uranium levels based upon this iran nuclear deal. nevertheless, what the u.s. allies may feel about this, because i'm mindful of that, trump's tactic with iran obviously isn
