[applause] because certainly without the efforts of all of our volunteers, i would not be standing here tonight having completed two rounds of the three that we have to go. i also tonight want to thank my opponents, rob simmons and peter schiff. they ran terrific races and their loyal supporters worked their hearts out for candidates and whom they really believed. this was a v

the cloth was made there in connecticut.hington saw an advertisement in the newspaper for fabric made from this company. now, what's really important about this fabric is it is not as refined as what you could buy from london at the time. it has a lower thread count. it is not quite as refined as what you're seeing coming out of england at the time, but it was the best that americans could do at that point, as they were developing their manufacturing. so washington sees this advertisement in the newspaper. when he sees that advertisement, he writes to a friend and asks him to procure cloth from the hartford woolen manufacturing for him to wear when he is sworn in as president of the united states. this cloth is sent back here to mount vernon not too terribly long before the inauguration. and when washington gets the fabric, there is a tailor that's indentured here, an irishman named calvin boa, who makes this piece into into. makes this piece into a tailored coat for george washington. there was probably also a waistcoat or

as the connecticut ag?particularly democratic attorneys general, are ready for this fight? i was here for the second half of trump 1.0. i am on the front lines for trump 2.0, and democratic ag's are going to be a firewall for people in our states. and so if he tries to go and rescind or deny birthright citizenship, that is clear under the 14th amendment right, the 14th amendment clearly says that if you're born on american soil or in a place subject to the jurisdiction of the united states, you're a citizen. period. full stop. and the supreme court confirmed that in a famous case called wong kim ark about chinese american immigrants more than 100 years ago. so we're going to go right into court and we're going to stop him. >> attorney general, i did want to also follow up. you have said something very interesting. you said calling connecticut, for example, a sanctuary state or sanctuary jurisdiction is actually not only legally incorrect, but it kind of sends the wrong message quickly. speak about why it's

the chair recognizes the gentleman from connecticut, mr. courtney, for five minutes mr. courtney: thank you, mr. speaker. today, january 13, in washington, we are in a little bit of a hiatus waiting for a new administration and for new congress to begin the process of bringing forward new policy proposals and a budget. but in the meantime just in the last 13 days we have seen really, i think, groundbreaking exciting developments for the people of this country as a result of legislation that was passed in 2022 and 2023. implemented by the biden administration. the first is the pact act. in 2022, after five years of hard fought advocacy by veterans groups across the country, this measure basically opened the door for veterans of the vietnam war era, but also in the middle east era who suffered horrible cancers, heart disease, life threatening conditions to make sure that they connected to the v.a. health care system and get the help that they need. basically what it did in 2022 was allow veterans who served in those parts of the world, in those conflicts who suffered from

zillow forecasting a 4% increase for hartford, connecticut.necticut that's going to add another $15,000 to the typical home. now, as always, when we talk about housing, this really cuts both ways, right? because if you already own your home and you don't need to move, the fact that home prices have gone up is good news, right? it's adding to your net worth. it's giving you some added financial flexibility. but kate, as we know, the american dream of home ownership, it just feels like it's out of reach for far too many people right now. >> so is there good news in this report for anyone? >> there is good news because some cities are seeing home prices basically flatline or even go down a bit. if you look at this list, we're seeing smaller increases of less than 1% in pittsburgh, minneapolis, denver, portland. and then in some cities, including san jose, san francisco and new orleans and austin. home prices, according to zillow, are expected to dip a bit. so look, if you live in those areas or you're willing to move to to those areas, that could

nbc connecticut's matt austin is reporting on this for us.re? >> yeah. good afternoon. chris and i did hear from hartford police today. unfortunately, no update on the child's condition and whether or not he's been released from the hospital, though earlier we were told he was expected to recover. now, to give folks a better idea of where we are, we're just a few blocks away from the state capitol here in connecticut. and this is a park, a very popular park. and after some fresh snow earlier this week, two kids were out here on wednesday evening doing what kids often do just playing in the snow, 11 and 12 years old. and we're told they were throwing snowballs at passing cars. and that's when things took a really scary turn and gunfire erupted. we spoke with a lieutenant here in hartford who talked to us about how that 12 year old was hurt and what they think unfolded here. >> non-life-threatening injuries. thank god we have so far is a 12 year old was with another juvenile throwing snowballs. one of those snowballs hit a car. that car looped

host: john in connecticut.uest: i don't think hegseth i'm being overly critical of pete hegseth here, i'm trying to lay out that he is a very different kind of nominee than will be seen in the past but obviously there are a lot of values, a lot of things that he brings that president trump values here. that ability to be a strong face, strong voice. we've seen this with other trump nominees. he definitely liked the tv performance of that side of this. i don't mean that in a denigrating way. he sees that as an important way to get his message out and get that communicated. and to the loyalist points, that was the caller's word, i believe i'm trying to say here i don't think he's going to be independent from president trump here. we have seen some level of independence. for whatever criticisms you have of secretary austin, we know that there were some business between him and president biden when he didn't report his health issues and when he had some conflict there. i don't think you will see that sort of thing
