he posted on x, essentially knocking on tillis, showing a hypothetical matchup between tillis and theocratic governor of the state, roy cooper, in a potential senate matchup next year when tillis is up for reelection, showing tillis trailing him by 20 points. tillis was really frustrated about this, and this isn't the first time that we heard about arthur schwartz as it relates to tillis, as it relates to some of these other senators who were question marks on some of the more controversial nominees, like and we'll talk about it on the other side. >> let me do due diligence. don't tell me how to do my job. and arthur schwartz should not even be walking the halls of the white house, in my opinion, based on his behavior towards joni ernst and other members. he wants to flex with me. then we are where we are. anything that he represents in congress, he better not have his fingerprints on it. because i'm a reflexive no to anything he represents. that's how badly i think he is for the president. behavior by people like this guy. it's the thing that's the single greatest threat to us delive

chair scott: senator tillis. sen. tillis: i will come to you but to all of the nominees, congratulations. you should take it as the honor that is and i hope to -- i hope to get to some of you all. you are the person that the other people on the panel should appreciate because you will get most of the questions. i think some people suggest that you lack experience. i typically do not like to reduce things to yes or no answers. i would like to get those with a quick sentence on a couple of things because people say you lack experience for the job. you hold an undergraduate degree in economics as well as a jd? mr. mckernan: yes. sen. tillis: and that i think came from duke? mr. mckernan: the jd. i am i proud volunteer for the other. sen. tillis: do you have experience practicing law for banking? mr. mckernan: yes. sen. tillis: 2007 and 2017? mr. mckernan: 2007 2 2017, that is correct. sen. tillis: do you have experience working on consumer protection laws involving the truth in lending act and the real estate settlement

tillis for five minutes per. >> thank you madam chair. welcome all of you.ef that we do need a light regulatory regiment but it has to be goldilocks just right for us to reemerge. i think you said we are behind the place to catch up and maybe or surpass. we have to figure out the way the market and activities are regulated. but, we also have to make sure we don't have flights to foreign jurisdictions if wee get this wrong. one question i will have for you what country is the best practice, fill in the blank if you agree with it if we would only implement or regulatory regiment like a blank will be the head of the pack is an answer to that question? we'll start the bear. >> thank you for the question, senator.il i think the u.s. needs to design rules and policy for the u.s. markets. we can look to other jurisdictions for examples,. >> in doing so how do we develop competitive advantages jurisdictionally speaking? what you would consider to be a best practice today what country is that where they best practice today? it's he look to the european union for exam

thom tillis has spoken up a bit.ng to be running for reelection in a couple of years our next year. i wonder if they're really going to want to run with vladimir putin as their running mate, because right now, that's how donald trump is setting things up. i, tina brown, though, fascinating, fascinating to watch what is happening in europe, specifically the united kingdom, as i said yesterday. ben landed a good deal over the past several years, and i've seen a country post brexit that was struggling with self-doubt, that whose economy was was struggling as well and sort of had lost a sense of purpose this past weekend that changed keir starmer actually looking almost churchillian and, and right now, right now, because the united states has said we don't want the title right now, keir starmer looking like the leader of the free world pushing back against russia. and then, of course, you have king charles the third welcoming president zelensky. and strangely enough, not being offended by the fact that he wasn't wearing

in general reaction after that oval office meeting, you heard from republicans like senator thom tillis came back from a bipartisan trip to the country. they are all careful not to blame trump, to say that he is still the best person who can potentially make a peace deal happen. but they also squarely expressed the blame that russia was the aggressor in this situation, that it is putin to blame. and i think they are balancing those two issues now on a whole different topic here, government funding, which is up at the end of next week. that is a huge issue that we're probably going to hear a little bit more about today. we just confirmed my colleague melanie zanona and i are reporting that some of those cr skeptics, the continuing resolution that republicans are eyeing now, that stopgap measure that would continue, essentially last year's funding, those same levels through the end of this year. republicans in the house freedom caucus, for example, typically don't vote for that piece of legislation. this time around, though, we know that they will be meeting at the white house tomorrow wi

but let's just remember that thom tillis is senator from north carolina. he's up in two years.here is no there are no democrats in north carolina. he's he's supported kash patel. he kind of did a 360 degree on pete hegseth. and a really disturbing way it's you can hold people like that accountable. we can actually call make calls to republicans. i think it's important that we recognize, like we did, you know, years ago with defending the affordable care act. that pressure does work a lot. number of republicans, not just in the senate but in the house, voted against that. the affordable care act repeal, because america stood up, woke up and actually said, no. >> this is such an important reminder. there's also governors races this year. there's lots of things coming up. neera tanden, thank you so much for joining me. it was really great to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> coming up, a sneak peek at two brand new episodes of the blueprint coming up tomorrow. blueprint coming up tomorrow. we'll be right back. -we're done. -what about these? looks right. nooo... nooo... quick,

. >> maybe, maybe thom tillis is right. this was a retreat. i mean, he backed off. he absolutely backed off. >> there is no question that inside the republican party there is some resistance to this. i mean, that's just a fact. and there are issues, particularly on trade issues, where trump is not an orthodox conservative. he didn't run on it. he has been very open about it. some of the party supports him, some don't. in my home state of kentucky, both mitch mcconnell and rand paul not often aligned on issues are both against it. you hear this from some corners of the party, but i'm just donald trump believes in this, and i suspect there is going to be some tariff strategy over the entire first term. and the people. >> but, scott, i hear what you're saying trump believes in, but do you think it's a good idea? >> right. yeah, that's my question. >> i trust the president to deal with canada and mexico. but do you think it's. >> a good idea to slap 25% tariffs on canada and mexico and then take them off and then put them back on and take them off? >> and what happens i

senators coons, klobuchar, tillis, and i introduced the no fakes action to do with ai-generated voice and visual likeness of individuals. we think that this will play an important role in the remedy for ai-generated ccm. representative guffey, i would love to get your thoughts on that. mr. guffey: on the no fakes act, i personally love it. i resubmitted a bill very similar in the state. i love the idea of using the name, image, and likeness. i think that is very easy thing to hit. as we talk about using ai-generated pornography, one of the problems we have is the statement that this is not a real person, therefore is it really a crime. bills such as name, image, and likeness protects citizens as opposed to focusing solely on what the image is. sen. blackburn: let me ask you this -- and congratulations on getting gavin's law passed. mr. guffey: thank you. sen. blackburn: is there a way you can amend provisions of no fakes onto gavin's law and begin to expand the protections at the state level? mr. guffey: in south carolina, unfortunately, no -- sen. blackburn: so it is going to be two

when you review and approve the project plan which was presented by my former colleague allie tilly. given the time that has passed and the progress that we've made since, i'd like to just begin today's presentation with a brief overview of the site the capital improvement project and the artist selection process so far so portsmouth square is located at 733 kearny street in chinatown between clay and washington streets and is one of san francisco's most important historic cultural and civic spaces. >> the park is eligible for listing in the california registrar of historic resources due to its cultural significance and to the chinatown community and its association with pivotal moments in san francisco's history. >> situated above the portsmouth square garage, the park is owned and operated by the san francisco recreation and parks department and a full renovation funded by the city's 2020 health and recovery bond is currently underway with construction getting ready to start later this fall. the new design for the park reflects a robust community engagement process and addresses th

- requests from this committee, notably made by myself, the chairman, the ranking member, senator tillis, former senator pat toomey, and others. in my experience, the fed is a black hole. it consumes information, but it never releases it. your fellow governors have personally misled me on at least two occasions with respect to wyoming in digital -- wyoming and digital assets. in recent filings, former senator pat toomey has accused your staff of lying to him while providing technical assistance on legislation that passed in the national defense 2022. now, i have behind me a statement by the fed's general counsel. one of the staff that is sitting behind you today who said "the fed generally resists legislative prescriptions." to me, that is thumbing his nose at congress, the very people you and i just agreed you are responsible to and the people depend on. so this is why the american people think there is a deep state. this is why they think there are faceless bureaucrats making policy to hurt the very people of this country. just look at the mess the fed made of the silicon valley bank.

senator tillis or senator sullivan introduce something to try and move that along faster.s been a point of frustration and these are the stories pray most of the folks that have come out of the military have positive experiences or feel like they contributed to their future and future careers, to their life. there are a lot of folks who have gotten injuries from this. the folks who serve their house long-term health situations that the country has a responsibility to take care of now and the question is what is the way forward. is it a new administration coming in and declaring that this is something that has to be addressed more forcefully or more directly, more quickly or is it something where you've got to let the courts play out and frustrate more families who have all been waiting for a long time. i wish we had a solution for that one. host: jim is in texas, a veteran. good morning. caller: i just want to say a few things about the lack of efficiency. it's very surprising, maybe not surprising that it's taken decades for electronic records to be able to communicate be

senator thom tillis, who is up for election next year.stopped. louisiana senator kennedy, to the extent that the white house has said ukraine started the war, i disagree. senator cramer, trump is factually wrong to call zelensky a dictator. senator rounds, clearly ukraine needs our support, and i think the vast majority of us are very supportive. >> of ukraine. >> they were the ones that were attacked. and then bacon said, too bad iran, north korea and china are not pausing their military aid and economic support. that is a long list of republicans, senator, that share your concern about donald trump cutting off aid to an ally who has been invaded by russia. >> well, you're right, joe. i'm glad to hear those statements, but we need more action out of our republican senate colleagues. so, for example, they have an opportunity to actually push back by through the nominations process, right? don't just clear all these people automatically while the president is engaged in this disgraceful bow down to vladimir putin and bullying people like z
