i trust that you did your homework and i trust you kno where you want the coury doing t want my kidsthis. we have to bring some sanity back to america. they can't be so hard. i look at my kids now and they are 22 and 25 and if any of you have kidsthey are scared. they don't know where they will find a job. they feel the debt thataverage 9 years old. the american dream is getting away just about four to eight years this is about what are we going to do 20 and 30 years out? so that they have a better life than us. that's what we have always wanted in america make today better than yesterday. on monday it's going to be so cold. like i don't even know what negative 15 feels like. [laughter] i thought it was cold in iowa in october. my kids are here with me this week. they have never seen snow like this. i'll tell you what, we can do this. you deserve better. you deserve an america without chaos. you deserve an america without drama. you deserve an where you don't have a couple of 8-year-olds running for president. you deserve better than what we have got. you can make it betted we will m

that helps revive national pride and that is the commander-in-chief i will be for this coury. did you have a question? will go to this man and give you the last. we have a bunch. i will lety team pulled me out but until then i will go fast. >> my name is grant, i know a lot state legislatures are tired of the federal work on the constitution. >> the 10th amendment. >> i was wondering what your act since you are running for th chief executive of our government, how would you play a part with governors who decide to nullify unconstitutional acts? >> i think that we will start moving over to the settlement, i will go quickly, orot subsidize unconstitutional behaviors. we are not going to use a federal taxpayer dollars to pay for the olation of the constitution. i'll give you a good example that is relevant, the feral funding of sanctuary cities. what is a sanctuary city? a city tha decided i is olating the rule of law including the federal level. there is the 10th amendmenthat says which is noteserved for the federal government is research or the states and people. there is t sup

right now the focus has to be on defeating donald trump when weet through the election cycle, the coury needs to have a party, wheth it is the republican party we can rebuil or a new conservative party, i think are at a historic momenthere the republican party itself has been hijacked. when you have a party that is in the grips of a cult of personality, and i don't think that is too extreme to suggest, those of us who believe in the principles the party used to stand for i believe have an obligation to build something else. geld: do you have the feeling that any of the people opposing donald trump are pursuing the right path to stop him? and if not, do you havadvice for them? ms. cheney i think some of them are, and if i say their names, that will rt them. i won't do that. i don't think there is any way you can acknoedge what dold trump has ne and suggest you will be for him anyway we watched republicans on the debate stage and they ask for a showf hands of who would vote for donald trump even ife is a convicted felon, and three out of the four of the last debate said they would. that's

criminals are held accountable for crimes in this coury. we are not letting the inmates run the asylum. americans have a right to live and raise the family. it is weaponized and governs us withouour consent. we will restore this government to its rightful owners, we, the american people. we will be ae to say that we have done a lot more. we will have turned her over to the next generation stronger and more prosperous than when we inherited it. i am mivated by having young kids but i am motivated to run. i would sometimes take a flight up to washington dc and take a particular route if you looked out the lesson -- left side of the plane, you saw anaren mcphee is of the lincoln memorial, the washington monument. and you feel a sense of pride in america because those symbolize the principles and ideas that have separated this country from history. when tourists would see it, they would love it. the best monuments to this country's ideals are not out of the left side of the plane in the nation's model. you looked and saw a series of small, nond

to provide it's because we had newspapers all over the country really printing plants all over the couryhn came up with the concept of an opinion page that represented many points of view and did not have a dominant position as an institution on every issue. as a result, also at usa today would not endorse a candidate in a presidential election in part because it would put a bumper sticker your nameplate it would turn off people who were with the candidate you endorsed. that was his vision. he thought usa today could be a unifying force for the country. and i think for a while it was. it helps contribute to a common base of knowledge that people could form their opinions using. we are a long ways from that today with the multiplicity of sources that people listen too. >> for a long time the best-selling daily newspaper in the unitedat states a must read for many of us here in washington. what you think of the paper today? >> it has changed a lot. i think usa today is suffering the same forces all other new papers in america are facing. the tech c companies have basically taken all of the

i cannot believe our coury would allow this to happen. 8 million illegal immigrants have come to thatorder. we had enough fentanyl cross that border that would kill every single american. the number one cause of death for adults 18 to 45? fentanyl. don't think for a second china doesn't know what they are doing when they send it over. you know when we put the toughest illegal immigration law in the country, obama sued us, we thought, and we won. we need to do what we did in south carolina and go national with it. [applause] you don't just do a border wall, we will a national e-verify program so everyusiness has to prove that the people ey hire are in this country legally. weill defd sanctuary cities once and for all, no more safe havens in america. we will put 25,000 border patrol and ice agents on the ground and let them dtheir job. we will go back to the remain in mexico policy so no one even stepped foot -- no oneven sets foot on american sl. instead of catch and release, we will go toatch and deport. thats how we will take care of the border. growing up in bamberg south -- bambg,

now, if interest rat stay ch higher-for-longer, and because of demographics of the coury, because ofng population, we do need to take steps to make sure that our deficits come down and remain at manageable levels. and we need congress and the administration to workn that. the president -- at the same time, i alsbelieve it is important to inst in our economy. 's not wrong to do that. we borrow to invest when the payoff are sufficiently high, and for many of the investments i have discussed, i believe the payoffs are sufficiently high to merit borrowing for them. we will see a payoff in growth, in tax revenue. by the president has sigd bills that reduce the deficity a trillion dollars over t next decade. and heroposed a budget for 20 that has an additional $2.5 trillion of deficit reduction. that comes in a variety of ways. i talked aboutax fairness. there are some proposals to including there was a corporate alternative minimum tax that was ssed. tosk corporations a the wealthy to pay theirair share. but in addition, we allowed the funding of internal revenue service to fall to dgerou

media or in books or anywhere else that election has been stolenithout putting that evidence up in couris wrong. we should not be delegitimizing accurate, cure verified elections in this country. anyone of any party. host: the caller's question was was there as much outrage after 2016 wn democra were doing that as therwas in 2020? host: there is no question what happened in the aftermath of 2016 and 2020 was different. we did not have the losing candidate started campaign in 2016 and try to use the levers of the federal government to interfere with an election and threaten state election officers as was donwith secretary of state bread raffensperger in georgia. there was limited objection by some in congress because she did concede. it d not lead to a violent attack on the capital that day. therhave been instances where democrats have failed to concede and have claimed without evidence that elecons were stolen. that is just as bad as when republicans do it. 20/20 was a slightly different character. we are now sitting here almost exactly three years from january 6, 2021 and it seems like m

>> kayleigh: there's another double stairn coustandard, coury of tsa.n saw this sign at miami international airport by tsa pre-check and says migrants can pass through security without photo id thanks to cp-1 app. everyone trusts that. if photo identification is optional, how does anyone know who is fly nothing our country? ted cruz saw writing on the wall and raised concern in letter to homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas writing, while americans must present acceptable form of identification to fly or have their identities confirmed, tsa is permitting illegal aliens without id toopt for alternate identity process utilizing cbp-1 app and one standard for identifying american citizens and another weaker standard for verifying identities of illegal aliens. this is alarming. good old tsa does not think there is a problem with the app saying it is used by tsa to initiate thorough identity verification process culminating with enhanced screening before an individual is allowed into secure area of an airport. any noncitizen who poses a threat to n

fool around, especially with aens of color right their goal was to prosecute and gethem out of the coury more or less as quickly possible. and it's evidence in jones's file from the very binning as well as from james's file now, this was annteresting little tidbit that sort of backs up some of what i was saying abou claudia. is is taken from the prosecutor portion of claude jas. he actually foughtis deportation in court. and one of the argument that claude made in court to the judge is, hey, listen, i i'm interestedn marxism he was a trotskyite, by the way. so he and claudia jones, who was ca carrying of the communist party, did not see eye to eye. right, for jones, somebody like claude is an apostate right. so james in court said, hey, like, don't, don't get upset. i'm a writer. like, don't deport me. i'm not or plotting to overthrow the government. i'm not sparking a seditious. i'm a just go take it easy and here's here's what the prosecution says in response. him james's his attorneys claim that the is not an action ist revolutionarmerely a writer philosopher is our impression the wor

in kiev they have already found the french prime minister has ukrainian roots, his mother marie de courise country this week, because that not only farmers take to the streets in despair, many other industries also join this process, individual protests develop into a mass movement designed to paralyze the country, the traffic light government is considered guilty in the christian socialist union, scholz's government coalition has brought germany into turmoil, we live in conditions of polarization that have not been seen in this country for decades. farmers are receiving support from truckers and they are not the only ones fighting against the federal government's austerity plans. negative sentiments developed among restaurateurs after vat was again raised to 19%. and in the middle of the week there is still a threat of a railway shutdown. train drivers may enter into a longer work sport after the christmas truce. and here in the background this strike in german stores is starting on the shelves. vegetables and fruits, instead of them these interesting inscriptions appear, which say that

whether you live in a red state or blue city, criminals are held accountable for their crimes in this coury are not letting inmates run the asylum. we are not letting broke prosecutors let people on the loose and refuse to enforce the law. americans have a right to live and raise their families in peace and security. we will have restored the rule of law in this country. finally, we'll be able to say we reored the u.s. constitution to its proper role as the centerpiece our national life. that means a limited government that works alongside us. not an unaccountable bureaucracy that impes its will on us, weaponized against us and governs us without our consent. we will have restored this government to its rightful owner , we, the american people. [applause] we are going to be able to say we have done a lot more. if we can just say we have accomplished those things and we will be able to say we have restored america to what president reagan called america a shining city on a hil we will have turned her overo the next generation stronger and morerosperous than when we inherited it. we will have

enough with sending you tax dollars to process migrants that should not be in this coury in the firsthhe law. enough with putting americans in harm's way. enough with the, i standn strong support of the rule and the underlying bills and urge m fellow members to support the rule and will res the balance of my time. the spear gentleman rer gentlen from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: i wan to thank the gentleman from texasor yielding me the customary 30 minutes, a i yield myself such times i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mcgovern mr. speaker, let me set a couple of things straight. the border is not open. now, maybe some people think it is because my republican colleagues every day for the last t years have come to the floo screamingheorder i en, the border is open, the border is open. bu the border is not open, and that is just a fact. today there are approximately ,000 people in immigration detention, which is 4,000 more than what d.h.s. is funded for and roughly what the■qministratn fiscal year018. the biden admintration has also si

implement it because of nfip have saved the country -- implemented because of nfip have saved the coury a net befit of about $ billion. in terms of risk rating 2.0, there are some dramatic impacts. on average, an nfip policy will be $1808, a 104 percent increase over legacy rates and rates will increase over 50% in 41 states. to the point that has been made by the senator about the death spiral, this is a maj concern about affordability. participation peaked at about 5.7 million in 2009. the risk rating in october 2021, there were 4.9 million policies. since then, nfip has lost over 215 thousand policyholders and ultimately, fema through their own projections projects losses of 900,000, 20% because of risk rating 2.0. this is not going to be good for the program or america. there is also reonal impacts. our region in greater new orleans is essential for the national economy and global food and ener security. nfip and risk rating does not take this into account. 50% of all u.s. grain exports go through the port of soh louisiana which is in our region. the average increase is going to be

our coury cannot be secure while we have hundreds of thousands of individuals legally flooding acrossmonth. the volume alone smoothes the way for terrorists, criminals and other dangerous individuals to enter our country. and there, mr. president, dangerous individuals trying to enter our country. in the fist twoirst two months of fiscal year 2024, 30 individuals on the terrorist watch list were apprehended attempting to cross our southern border. in other words, roughly one every fiscal year 2023 saw # 169 -- saw 169 individuals on the at the southern border, an increase over fiscal year 2022, which itself was a sharp increase over fiscal year 2021. that's a dangerous trajectory, mr. president. of course those numbers only■i refer to those who border patrol actually apprehended. there have been 83,000 known gotaways and those are individuals border patrol saw but unable to apprehend. there is no telling how many unknown gotaways there have been over that same period. how many of those individuals were terrorists, criminals, or other dangerous individuals? well, the fact of the matter

jennifer asks idi a recent opinion survey of 25 couries shows the least trusted our government. government leaders and journalists. how do you change that to gain more trust? how do i change it? you personally. look, i think we need to be very transparent about how we come to our facts. like daniel patrick moynihan said, you are welcome to your own opinion, but you are not welcome to your own facts. the problem is, in this country that we can't agree on basic facts. basic facts are challenged, so we can't get to that second stage of having a discussion about what is the right path forward. so me personally, i want to be more accessible to anybody who's reading my material. i want them to know how i come about. the information that i have. i want them to know that before i publish an investigative piece i've given the subject of my piece a week, two weeks. i've had several conversations or i've been completely shut out by that person who doesn't want to talk about it. and i want them to know that it's gone through a process of being picked apart by a team. standards editors as th

deciding here is more like that, is more like the countless policy issues that are going to confront this courys ahead. will courts be abltoecide these issues as to are completely disconnected from the policy pce, from the political process, and, you know, that just don't have any expertise and -- and experience an area, or are people in agencies going to do that? martinez: i -- justice kagan: that's what this case is about. martinez: -- i think constitutional answer is that congress nee tset the rules with respect to ai. enes, but once the law is written and the interpretive function has begun, then that job is -- is for the courts. and i think this case actually really is a good emp because i think the problem with chevron is that, like, no one really -- me, i'm curious to see what the solicitor general will say outhis, but does anyone really think that congress was esuming that the agency would get to decide the question of o ys for the monitors? justice kagan: ok. ha one last question. do you think that congress could codify -- codify chevron martinez: i -- i don't think so because i think
