on this bill. susan adams is here with me. frank higgins. jamie mccormick. trey hicks, trey gallagher, and owe cutler and equally from the minority side, and i always butcher her last name and i apologizing i'll probably do it again, erin klodesky. lawyer ry -- lawyerie mrveg anon and lillian. from my personal staff, caesar, gisele, autumn, from my personal office. mr. chairman, i thank you for bringing this crucial legislation to the floor which support ours allies, protect ours national security in a smart, efficient, effective and thoughtful way. i urge my colleagues to support the bill and i reserve the balance of my time. thank you, sir. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentlewoman from california is recognized. ms. lee: i rise to oppose h.r. 4665 and yield as much time as i may consume. this bill would impose devastating cuts on programs meant to keep both america and the world safe and with all due respect to my friend and colleague, the chair of this committee, i am not an adversary o

this bill is shameful. this bill is dangerous. and this bill leaves rural americans, farmers, senior, and children and hungry families behind. i urge my colleagues to oppose this bill and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia reserves. the gentleman from maryland is recognized. mr. harris: i want to remind everybody, we're not dealing with monopoly money. we have to solve a $2 trillion budget deficit. the president didn't have ideas. he submitted a tbowjt congress that never, ever balanced and was supposed to have $1 trillion deficits but in fact because of overspending of the -- in the so-called inflation reduction act, which is one of the biggest misnopers you've ever had in the history of congress, because the american people know, when you increase spending by hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars you increase inflation. you don't reduce it you increase it. the fact of the matter is, our deficit is now $2 trillion, not $1 trillion. so mr. chairman, i'm hoping to hear if the other side of the

the second bill in the package is the agriculture appropriations bill, which support farmers, ranchers and rural communities, the presiding officer and i represent two of the most rural states in america. it also protects our nation's food and drug supply and ensures that low income families have access to critical federal nutrition programs. i am particularly pleased that despite the tight budget environment the bill provides increased funding for agriculture research to support food security and sustainability. and safety and credible research focused on neuroscience. i commend chairman heinrich and ranking member hoven for putting together such a strong bill. the third bill provides essential funding for the department of transportation, housing, urban develop and and related agencies, chair murray and i have what each of us spent many years as chair and ranking member of subcommittees. it supports the transportation program, that help address to help the nation deteriorate the infrastructure. the air traffic controllers. the air traffic controllers, how terribly understaffed they a

their bill, not our bill.adam speaker, the american people needs to know why their house is in the chaos which the gentleman from texas talked about is occurring at the border. we are going to be here for the next four, five days, maybe even longer pretending that somehow we are compromising and moving forward. that is not the case. we have had a small group make the house hostage, the american people's house hostage and we can talk about the numbers and disagree on the numbers, but -- may have -- 30 seconds to say some pretty substantive things. mr. and mrs. america, madam speaker, ought to know that when i was the majority leader, we didn't shut down the government. when i was the majority leader on this side of the house, we passed every bill we wanted to pass because we are not a divided party, as the party that is now in the majority party has so clearly demonstrated on a regular basis of how divided they are. the speaker made a deal. keep the deal. stop taking hostage the american people and their govern

"ask bill feehan, let's check with bill, get bill feehan in here, he'll know what to do." - he was the go-to person for me, my whole time assigned here, the first few years i was in headquarters. i think we're known... we know a lot about fires, we know a lot about fire prevention and that thing, but many of us are limited in other areas. and bill seem to have a wide breadth of knowledge of other subjects that kind of set him apart. - bill was basically the knowledge center of the fire department. there were things that he knew that never had been documented. so usually things would end up getting run by bill, and he wasn't always in the chain of command for it. it was just, you naturally knew you needed to reach out, because he would either know the answer, or he would direct you to the right person. usually he knew the answer, though, it was rare that he would not. - i knew immediately that he was my go-to guy for understanding how the department worked. i'd him a question, "how many 100-foot tower ladders do we have?" and he'd not only tell you how many tower ladders you had, he'd t

what would this bill do? this bill would slash investments in cancer research, leave communities recovering from natural disasters out to dry, undercut allies with a $1 billion cut to israel, and further cuts to our support of ukraine. it defunds law enforcement by 30% and makes our communities less safe, and it takes food out of the mouths of millions. this bill raises costs on american families at a time when the cost of living is already too high. it cuts title 1 education funding, the bedrock of public education, to the tune of 150,000 teachers being pulled out of classrooms and 275,000 children would lose access to head start, undermining early education and making it harder for parents to work. in an unprecedented move, the house republican bill cuts the low income home energy assistance program, the liheap program funding, by roughly 74%, more than five million households will lose their home heating or cooling benefits or have their benefits cut by hundreds of dollars, threatening their ability to hea

on the bill. it's harder to run it when you're offered amendments and people get to have a say into the bills. it's also harder when you don't just automatically go to the cr two on the best showdown. this is what the republican majority is committed to doing and committed to passing, committed to working the process, committed to restoring this government of the people, by the people in for the people. and that's one of the things that i am really, really proud of. of these bills are conservative. these bills are what many have called, in many years since we have had the cleanest, through of these appropriations bills where we've gotten back to just putting this government, rightsizing the government and getting back to the priorities to be working on. to secure our liberties and defending our interests, getting our borders secure and continuing to do that. only in dc do you get to get away with measuring success by how much money you spend. we are turning the corner on not realizing the financia

do we want to pass amendments carefully considered funding bills or defaults to an omnibus bill manyusands of pages long with very little transparency or a year-long resolution that funds programs that are no longer needed and prevents new programs from starting up, waste taxpayer dollars and is subject to indiscriminate cuts due to the provisions of the fiscal responsibility act? mr. president, the choice is very clear the senate should proceed to debate, consider amendments and pass the appropriation bill. thank you mr. president. i yield we believe that whether you learn here or right here or in the middle of anywhere you should have access to past reliable internet. a conversation on defense spending with fiscal policy and military strategy researchers. panelists discuss budgeting and analyze the cost of military reform and personal pensions. it's hosted by the brookings institution and lasts about one hour and 20 minutes.

bill we didn't pick these bills out of a hat, mr. neguse. we chose those bills because we're concerned about those things. what i would tell is tell them to call their arizona senators and tell them to pick up our d.h.s. bill if they don't like what we've put together, pass a different version and let's get to the business of negotiating. mr. neguse: and in that interim period why not have a c.r. to enable negotiations? >> maybe it's the lack of c.r. that enables the negotiations better. mr. the tbeus: i appreciate your honest answer. that's the point. that's the policy disagreement or maybe not policy but -- strategic question and strategic disagreement that we clearly have. because i don't -- i don't think that, in my view, and i understand folks have different opinion, but i don't think that's an acceptable answer for the vast majority of people who will be impacted in a negative way by the government shutting down. that's my view. >> can i clarify? mr. neguse: sure. mrs. spartz: i think guys can support border security and that commissio

i'm proud of this bill. no bill is perfect. and the issues that you just brought up and if i repeat myself in the category, you just can't make that up, to be criticized and i am respectful because i do respect my colleagues but when i see criticism in writing that this is horrible and we are cutting funding for the wuhan lab for gain of research and institutions, my answer is you better believe that we are eliminating taxpayer money going to this wasteful and hurtful, hurtful issues because it's just not wasted money but hurting our national security. i am proud and passionate of the work that my colleagues have done on this bill. mr. roy: i appreciate your work and prioritizing and tax dollars focused on our efforts here. we will have those conversations and continue those through the amendment process and the continuation of the development of this rule. but i appreciate that and i think that's a giant step forward. to my colleague, mr. joyce and my colleague from texas, mr. cuellar, turning to homeland security, you know, w

after bill after bill to make life better for the american people.o many of those legislative efforts where we created millions of good-paying jobs for hardworking everyday americans to fix our crumbling bridges, roads, tunnels, our airports and transportation systems, and it was bipartisan, largely democratic in the house, but bipartisan. we passed gun violence legislation because we believe we needed to do something about gun violence in america with the urgency of now. and not, as some of my colleagues want to do, unleash weapons of war that are not used to hunt deer, they're used to hunt human beings and shred chi children. so we worked in a bipartisan way to pass the safer communities act, to make progress for the american people. then we worked on the chips and science act that will bring domestic manufacturing jobs back home to the united states of america. [ applause ] as opposed to our jobs moving in the other direction. and to invest in science, technology, engineering, mathematics to ensure that our young people have the skills to succeed

>> good morning, bill and dana.his is much, much different than the case against bob menendez a number of years ago. the reason for that is they found $480,000 in cash as alleged in the indictment in his home. and in his wife's safe deposit box. gold bars in his home and in a safe in the home. it will be very difficult, it seems to me, for united states senator to explain why he has $480,000 in cash stuffed in jackets with his name on them in closets in his home. i did 130 of these corruption cases when i was u.s. attorney in new jersey. we had a few of them that were like this where folks were taking cash bribes and stuffed them in suit jackets, blazers, you know, windbreakers in their homes. when the f.b.i. searched, they found them. i never once heard anybody have a good explanation, especially someone in public office, for having that kind of cash in their home and not deposited in a bank somewhere. >> dana: can i ask you, sir, what happens if this goes forward? you have a presidential election, you have bob men

opposes this bill. sierra club opposes this bill. l.c.v. opposes this bill. we must stand with men and women who know what's best and oppose this bill. this bill prevents e.p.a. from granting a waiver of federal preemption under the clean air act for any california vehicle emissions standards that, quote, directly or indirectly limits the sale or use of vehicles with an internal combustion engine. on top of this, it directs the e.p.a. to revoke waivers that were already granted more than a decade ago, that don't comply with this vague metric. this would immediately put existing waivers dating back a decade in jeopardy. this doesn't just effect california. it has nationwide ramifications that every member should be concerned about. it infringes on states' ability to voluntarily adopt standards to protect their citizens from dangerous air pollution and climate change. and my republican cleag, year always saying -- colleague, you're always saying, we have to protect states' rights. you're not doing it in this. the clean air act is explicit in the e.p.a. having t

fulcher's bill. this legislation would greatly enhance the collaborative spheurdship with tribal and county partners. this passed out of our committee unanimously and pass this in similar fashion on the house floor today. the federal government owns 460 million acres and 28% of the entire country. states, tribes and counties have an interest how these lands are managed. those that are mismanaged, there is no clear example than the forest help and wildfire affecting vast swaths. fires no boundaries between managed lands and unmanaged lands. as federal land managers struggle to address this problem, congress empowered states to have forest management efforts. the forest service and bureau of land management had the ability of states to undertake restoration projects and habitat improvement and road restoration on federal lands within their borders. this program for states has been very successful. since 2014, over 490 projects had begun in 48 states. last year, approximately 274 board feet of timber we

often the bills are not done. it holds people in washington without something or a product that is ready to go on the floor and to get a vote. it really stirs up discontent among congress itself which can lead to lashing out a leadership and even -- at leadership and even more cooks in the kitchen time to finalize those bills. host: as to speaker mccarthy coming from the democratic line, have any democrats in congress extended any sympathy to the position he is in? guest: i know that majority leader schumer in the senate has said i feel for where he is at. is working with a small majority, divisions within his conference. it is a position that schumer has had in the 50-50 senate when his democratic votes were not necessarily aligned. he has also been really clear. we need to get a deal before a shut down. he is telling mccarthy they are working across the aisle or the main goal is republicans. that has got them in line. he has launched his counterpart in the session, to mcconnell, over and over again. i do not thi

let's understand what the bill was. we put a bill on the floor in suspension. so, there is no bill that can pass with one party or the other. when will you guys get over that it is alright and that you put america first? it is all right if republicans and democrats join together to do what is right. if somebody wants to make a motion against me, bring it. there has to be an adult in the room. i am going to govern with what is best for this country. i do not understand how long it will take you to understand that. i went 15 rounds. the same individual that voted against us even having a more conservative stopgap measure. the same individual that threatened, that delayed us from ever getting all of the appropriations bills done did the same thing during the speaker's race. that is ok. he has a right to do it. but i will be a conservative that gets things done for the american public. whatever that holds, so be it. because, i believe in not giving up on america. i will not be beholden to somebody that trays and does something like that. yes, sir. reporter:[indisce

the third bill, the milcon v.a. appropriations bill invest in critical department of defense infrastructure. it provides funding to support the european and pacific deterrent initiative, unfunded construction priorities of the active guard and reserve forces, and improved housing for our service members and their families. so important at a time when we are experiencing recruitment problems. i am particularly please that this bill fully fund the shipyard infrastructure optimization program, including the president's request for 500, $4,500,000,000 at the shipyard located in maine, and essential nationals security asset for our submarine fleet. this bill will also keep our commitment to our veterans i funding v.a. medical care and veteran benefits, including disability compensation programs, education benefits, and vocational rehabilitation and employment training. like senator murray i, too, and the daughter of a world war ii veteran, and thus our commitment to our veterans. it's very personal to me. my father was a

we need a bipartisan bill in the house. we need a bipartisan bill in the senate. and then we will be able to avoid a shutdown to keep the government funded. yet this week house republicans are trying everything but bipartisanship. even though everyone knows their proposed cr is a total nonstarter in the senate. as note democratic input. instead of pretending to aim for bipartisanship as i said instead of aiming for bipartisanship this is zero democratic input. click calls for a crushing 8% cut to virtually all non-defense spending. extreme republicans are dead set against raising costs and lowering safety for american families. the american people need to know just how bad the house houserepublican extreme cr trul. it is slapdash. it is reckless, it is cruel. it is a slapdash reckless accrual cr for this is slapdash cr would decimate investments in lifesaving research hollowing out the national institutes of health but who in america wants to cut cancer research? some of the house republicans do. this reckless cr would lower public safety, cut back on drug and foo

this is the way it works bill. first a proposed law is introduced into one branch of the legislature as a bill. it has always been a number and is printed like this one. the bill is then turned over to one of the legislative committees for consideration the committee holds hearings where the public and common speak for or against the proposed legislation. this gives our citizens a chance to make their wishes on each law known to congress. sometimes these these hearings go on for months. unless it is killed by the committee the bill then goes to the floor of the house or senate wherever it originated to be discussed and voted on. suppose for example that this bill started in the house of representatives if it is passed it then goes on to the senate. if the senate votes against the bill it dies but of its past in the senate the bill must be sent on to the president. the president may either sign it in which case it becomes a law or he may veto it if he vetoes the bill. it may still become a law if the senate and hous

the bill how goes to the u.s. senate and we have already heard from senate minority leader mitch mcconnell that he and his republican caucus are largely on board with that measure. but, again, the vote has yet to happen in the senate. i'm joined by alex burns, the head of news at politico, and a cnn political analyst. also joining me, errol louis. good to see both of you. and it all happened right here on live television in cnn. alex, all eyes are now on the u.s. senate. within a matter of an hour and a half, you go from house speaker kevin mccarthy talking about how he was not fearful of losing his job, it was all about i want to keep the u.s. government open, to the next thing you know, there was a -- it looks like he's speaking. house speaker kevin mccarthy right now. >> i had some members in our own conference that wouldn't vote for that. if you have members in your conference that won't let you vote for appropriation bills, doesn't want an omnibus and won't vote for a stopgap measure, so the only answer is to

what would this bill do? this bill would slash investments in cancer research, leave communities recovering from natural disasters out to dry, undercut allies with a $1 billion cut to israel, and further cuts to our support of ukraine. it defunds law enforcement by 30% and makes our communities less safe, and it takes food out of the mouths of millions. this bill raises costs on american families at a time when the cost of living is already too high. it cuts title 1 education funding, the bedrock of public education, to the tune of 150,000 teachers being pulled out of classrooms and 275,000 children would lose access to head start, undermining early education and making it harder for parents to work. in an unprecedented move, the house republican bill cuts the low income home energy assistance program, the liheap program funding, by roughly 74%, more than five million households will lose their home heating or cooling benefits or have their benefits cut by hundreds of dollars, threatening their ability to hea

random people are walking the streets. >> bill: you were there yesterday, bill. what's happening today? >> bill, some breaking news this morning. government sources telling me that yesterday alone cbp encountered more than 10,000 migrants at our southern border. that means we're back to those all-time record high levels we last saw in may in the days leading up to the end of title 42. 10,000 in one day driven by what happened here in eagle pass. new video for the viewers. look at this drone video from our contact in mexico showing the perspective from the mexican side of the river as the mass illegal crossing took place yesterday. over 3,000 people crossed illegally here in eagle pass in a span of two hours predominantly single adults, mostly men from venezuela. there was 0 resistance on the mexican side of the river despite their national guard and police posted there. the small city of eagle pass is overrun and texas governor greg abbott is pointing the finger at the federal government. look at this video he tweeted yesterday showing what he says are border pat

the underlying bill. and i offer an amendment that would prohibit any of the funding made available in the state foreign operations related programs appropriations act from being used to carry out president biden's executived off orders on climate change. i do want to pause for a minute before i describe my amendment to thank the gentlelady for our work together in trying to address ongoing authorize authorizations of the use of military force that have long since come and gone and congress needs to act. congress needs to dispense with the 2002 and 1991 aumf's that no longer, i think, are relevant. i appreciate working with the gentlelady to that end. i hope we'll see some movement on that at some point. and ask leadership on this part of the aisle to physical low through and bring a vote forward. the senate has dispensed with 2002 and 1991 and we need to address them here. i would note in response to the gentlelady with respect to what he said to my colleague from new york about averting a shutdown and w

appropriation bill. ten days before the end of the fiscal year. so the obvious point is unless congress acts to fund the government in the next ten days, the government will be without funds and large portions of the federal government will shut down. notwithstanding the fact some people think maybe that's a good idea that we are spending too much money here so let's just shut it down. well, tell that to members of the united states military and their families. tell that to the men and women who serve briefly as members of the border patrol, customs and border protection that are responsible for processing the goods that enter into our country from our trading partners that create millions of jobs. tell that to immigration and customs enforcement or ice. tell them that they will have to worke and not get paid. programs that support our seniors, veterans, children, and some of the most vulnerable americans will be paralyzed and a range of services from passport processing to opioid treatment will be delay

this bill is shameful. this bill is dangerous. and this bill leaves rural americans, farmers, senior, and children and hungry families behind. i urge my colleagues to oppose this bill and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia reserves. the gentleman from maryland is recognized. mr. harris: i want to remind everybody, we're not dealing with monopoly money. we have to solve a $2 trillion budget deficit. the president didn't have ideas. he submitted a tbowjt congress that never, ever balanced and was supposed to have $1 trillion deficits but in fact because of overspending of the -- in the so-called inflation reduction act, which is one of the biggest misnopers you've ever had in the history of congress, because the american people know, when you increase spending by hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars you increase inflation. you don't reduce it you increase it. the fact of the matter is, our deficit is now $2 trillion, not $1 trillion. so mr. chairman, i'm hoping to hear if the other side of the

bill. the day before the government shuts down and the majority is still throwing anything that they can at the wall to see if anything sticks, house republicans have already proven that they cannot and they will not pass a continuing resolution on their own. even one with outlandish spending cuts that could never pass the senate or be signed into law. a bipartisan, a bicameral solution is the only way forward. i worked on these efforts. last december. and house republicans at that time decided not to participate. but what the senate republican, senator shelby and senator leahy, we hammered out a budget for 2023. the speaker knows the bipartisan senate continuing resolution would easily garner a majority in this house of representatives. yet he refuses to let it go to the floor of the house. what is he afraid of? so what are we trying instead? well, yesterday republicans voted to defund our support for our allies in the middle east. including a billion-dollar cut to israel, a further cut to

we're paying a billing. they've got intellectual property, security systems, all of that is good, it's a service. so no dispute there. but just because you're providing a service doesn't entitle you to rip off everyday merchants because you can. the question that i think we have to ask as a united states senate is what's our job and who do we work for? our job is not to pad the already obscene profits of visa and mastercard. our job is to protect our merchants who are doing the work, day in and day out, our consumers, who are doing their best to stay afloat, pay their bills, get from one end of the month to the other and hope their checks clear, they can pay their credit card bill. our obligation is to the people who have no power, but who do have a right to expect that their elected representatives and senators, when they see a rip-off, will call it a rip-off and stand up and say, you're going to get treated fairly. that is essential for restoring our trust and faith in one another, it's essential for our o

opposes this bill. sierra club opposes this bill. l.c.v. opposes this bill. we must stand with men and women who know what's best and oppose this bill. this bill prevents e.p.a. from granting a waiver of federal preemption under the clean air act for any california vehicle emissions standards that, quote, directly or indirectly limits the sale or use of vehicles with an internal combustion engine. on top of this, it directs the e.p.a. to revoke waivers that were already granted more than a decade ago, that don't comply with this vague metric. this would immediately put existing waivers dating back a decade in jeopardy. this doesn't just effect california. it has nationwide ramifications that every member should be concerned about. it infringes on states' ability to voluntarily adopt standards to protect their citizens from dangerous air pollution and climate change. and my republican cleag, year always saying -- colleague, you're always saying, we have to protect states' rights. you're not doing it in this. the clean air act is explicit in the e.p.a. having t
