they want the credit for the bill? a house bill instead of a senate bill? is debbie smith herself -- if debbie smith -- as debbie smith herself was repeatedly quoted, don't punish the victims. not acting on the senate bill is doing just that. madam speaker, i will support this bill today. i believe these programs and the survivors they serve are too critical to be subject of -- to be the subject of partisan games. i am disappointed, however, that my colleagues do not feel the same way, otherwise they'd put forward the senate bill. i expect and hope we will be back on this floor in the very near knewture to pass a bill to -- future to pass a bill to actually authorize this vital program. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves the balance of her time. mr. nadler: i remind my colleagues that the re-authorization of this bill has been sitting in the vawa re-authorization bill, passed by this house many months ago, sitting in the senate since then. i now yield three minutes to the distinguished gentlelady from new yor

bill: absolutely.ou can go to burger king and buy the impossible burger. david: is it healthier for you? or healthier for the atmosphere? bill: it is slightly healthier for you in terms of less cholesterol. it is, of course, a dramatic reduction in methane emissions, animal cruelty, manure management and the pressure that meat consumption puts on land-use. david: what about electric cars? do you think that's a solution? bill: absolutely. if you look at the transport sector -- david: another 15% -- bill: passenger cars with another factor of two to three in battery improvement which is possible, the mainstream for passenger cars can become electric. though you have to make that transition. you've got to scale it up and make sure electricity is zero emission. but for trucks and planes, there is almost no chance the batteries will be good enough. and so there, you will still need to create liquid fuels, either with electricity or biofuels. some way. fuels are amazing. the energy density of gasoline is 30

supported that bill. i thank him for that support. it was a million acres of public land designation in my state. and while not everybody got what they wanted, we were able to approach frit a prospect where i was able to get ranchers, environmentalists, outdoor enthusiasts to support that bill. the major difference between our two bills and why i stand today is that my bill, i was able to claim support from my local county commissioners, every elected official in the state, my governor, the state legislature and the entire delegation of utah were able to support that. while i want my friend from colorado to succeed in his endeavor, i feel moving this without the support of the entire delegation and its members who represent the impacted land is a mistake. i'm told half the colorado delegation oppose this is bill, including a member who represents 65% of the land covered by the bill. while i applaud the consensus that's been put into this, i don't believe there's enough consensus to get this bill across th

and by passing this bill, we are standing with women. i urge members to support this bill. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from new york yields back. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 4405. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid n the table. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from new york seek recognition? ms. velazquez: i move the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 4407. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: union calendar number 192, h.r. 4407, a bill to amend the small business act to re-authorize the score program, and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from new york, ms. velazquez and the gentleman from ohio, mr. chabot, each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from new york, ms. velazquez. m

that is what the bill says. the prime minister should read the bill.e bill will reduce parliament to, i will give way. i thank him for giving way. you can't trust the prime minister and he mentioned the tuc, is he disappointed so many labour backbenches seem to be agreeing, seem happy to take the prime minister's word and they look like they're going to go through the lobbies and vote for this?|j like they're going to go through the lobbies and vote for this? i have respect for all members who wish to try and change this bill in committee, but that only reinforces the point that a proper committee stage should be allowed. because the bill reduces parliament to the role of observer in the next face of negotiations, read claws 31 —— clause 31, it says nothing would be inconsistent with the existing political declaration and it includes clause 30 is the trap door to no deal. anyone thinking this bill is a way to end no deal should read that clause and think again. mr speaker, this is a flawed bill, implementing a fundamentally bad deal. it would open the

bill: autely.you look at the transport sector, passenger cars with another factor of two to three in battery improvement which is possible, the mainstream for passenger cars can become electric. you have to make that transition. you've got to scale it up and make sure electricity is zero emission. but for trucks and planes, there is almost no chance the batteries will be good enough. there you will still need to create liquid fuels with electricity or biofuels. fuels are amazing. the energy density of gasoline is 30 times the energy density of the best battery we can make. if you look at a container ship that crosses the ocean, having your fuel 30 times less efficient, 90% of the weight you are carrying would be batteries instead of cargo. so trucks and planes and boats, electrification is unlikely to work in those cases. we need ways of making fuels that are zero carbon. david: do heads of state roll their eyes and say can i have a selfie with you? [laughter] but do they really do anything and wha

bill: ok.he part where you mitigate and you help the poor countries with better seeds and better policies, partly through development aid, that is through the foundation, that mitigation part. the part where you invent new ways of making fuels, electricity, cement, that is done directly by me with a lot of investments, including the funds that you mentioned, this so-called breakthrough energy ventures is a fund that i assembled a group of 22 people to put money into companies that are trying to commercialize the breakthroughs. david: but that's a fund of $1 billion. bill: right. david: you put you-in-$200 million. can $1 billion make that much of a difference? bill: $1 billion, it's actually been very catalytic. they have 20 investments. late next year, we'll probably raise another $12 billion to $1.5 billion. his is all about innovation. so if you have to make steel with no emission, that steel would cost you four times what steel does today. your electric bill would more than double if we jus

this is a bipartisan bill. it is not a bipartisan bill. the majority party clearly had an opportunity to put through our committee and onto onto the floor a bill that had republican and democrat co-sponsors. instead of doing that they chose to follow the exact same path they've followed in the past through other committees and other pieces of legislation that they don't want to put real solutions forward they want to put political talking points forward. they decided to combine what my colleague from virginia just talked about, allowing a federal -- allowing the attorney general to participate, possibly in federal campaigns. that should scare every american regardless if you're republican or democrat. let's keep our elections run the most safe and effective way possible at the state and local level. it's not bipartisan. this bill is not bipartisan. there are 137 co-sponsors of the shield act and not a single republican. and that's a ploy, that's how we run away from bipartisanship? no, bipartisanship was taken away from us. now, how do you

i can't ask if we're down here talking about a tax bill to have an open rule on a ways and means bill, because that gets more complicated. i can't ask if we're down here on a judiciary bill to have an open rule on a judiciary bill, because that gets more complicated. what i have today, madam speaker, are two members who have worked in a collaborative, bipartisan way to produce the very best bill they could out of their committee. i'm asking for an opportunity for the other several hundred members of this institution to have a voice in the debate. it would have taken, just so that we're clear on what my ask is, madam speaker, to make all the amendments in order, all the amendments, to allow for the free and open debate that i am asking for, it would have taken 1,200 more seconds. 20 minutes. if the majority could have found in its wisdom 20 more minutes, every member of this body could have been heard on an issue that you heard the subject matter experts testify to how important it is. we've gotten out of the habit of listening to one another. we've gotten out of the habit of trusting

good morning, bill. yesterday hunter biden's attorney released a statement saying that hunter biden had made the decision to step down from the board of a chinese company. his father, 2020 homeful and vice president joe biden was in iowa that afternoon speaking to the largest private sector union in the country and spoke to reporters after and quickly asked about himself. frustrated with the questions and only took them for five minutes and ignored many reporters including myself who tried to ask additional questions. he said he and his son did nothing wrong and his son made the decision to step down by the board of decision of that company himself. >> what i'm not going to let you do is take the focus off the problem. no one -- no one has asserted my son did a single thing wrong. no one has asserted that i have done any wrong except a lying president. he decided he is not good to do. he has said he does not like the appearance of it. >> the younger biden did acknowledge in his interview this morning tha

bill: like many people.ou pick what you care about, if somebody has something that can make a difference, we are super interested. we have a staff of 1500 people and if it is to do in global health, some people come out and talk through with you what your innovation is and how we can partner with you. that is clearly in our area. if it is something that can improve k-12 education, we will be very interested. if people are asking outside of those things, fortunately, you can say no because the focus is key to philanthropy. david: raising children is difficult. jackie kennedy said if you mess up raising your children, nothing else matters. you have three well-adjusted children. how do you avoid spoiling kids like that? bill: i think that is a huge problem. our kids have benefited from having a great education and opportunity to travel. they are very lucky in that sense. making sure the visibility and the way people treat them is natural. so far, they have handled it well. melinda is the one who deserves almost

the agricultural bill. the interior bill. and the transportation, housing, and urban development bill. i want to take a minute, madam chair, to thank the chairs of these subcommittees for their diligence in producing balanced bills. senator moran, senator hoeven, senator murkowski, and senator collins. i also want to thank their respective ranking members, the democrats, for their bipartisan cooperation here -- senators shaheen, senator merkley, senator udall, and senator reed. together, these four measures before us today account for nearly one-third -- one-third, madam president -- of all nondefense discretionary spending, consistent with the bipartisan budget agreement, they contain no new poison pills. and i would caution my colleagues on both sides of the aisle against pursuing poison pills -- poison pill amendments if we're able to proceed today. if we're to make any progress on the 2020 appropriations bills, i think we must be true to our commitment enshrined in the terms of of the budget agreemeno refrain from such pr

floor, the appropriations bills. we were frustrated early on. everybody knew this day was coming when we had to get a budget agreement and get the bills written. the fiscal year has already started. in the spring, we set some caps. the senate did not do that and it was not until late in the season that we got the budget agreement. now we at least have topline numbers we can work with, but there is a new problem, a new old problem, donald trump's wall. the republicans in the senate have included a $5 billion item for that wall and have included money to backfill the defense accounts that were raided earlier to pay for the wall, so it really messes things up. it does not just mess those particular bills up, it misses all of them up because there is an allocation problem. if you remove that kind of money from the up line numbers to accommodate trump's wall, you mess everybody else's appropriation up. hhs, bysed up labor, the nature of the domestic bill. the bill i preside over as chairman of the transportation housing s

we really have to have scrutiny of this bill, it is a big bill, it was only published last night andto do its job. just a very clear understanding of the potential options. if the second reading gets passed for the prime minister, and if he gets his way on the parliamentary motion, what is left for you to do, you people who have got concerns about the process and the substance of it? can you do anything? yes, we will bring forward amendments because there are many things that concern people. if the bill goes through and it becomes an act and we leave at the end of october, we are then in transition and by the legislation we remain in transition by the end of 2020. but crucially the government has got to put into place is new relationship with the eu and it has little time to do that. if the government has not got a trading relationship by the middle of next year, it has to ask for an extension and the government has said it will not do that. there is a very real threat that. there is a very real threat that we crash out on a no deal basis at the end of next year based on decisions we

the pelosi bill doesn't do that. and it is so unnecessary, and so destructive of the hope patients have when they consider the new science is available to them. there is one thing in the house bill that is good, it does have an out-of-pocket cap for medicare part d prescription drug program of $2000 per year. we think it needs fixing, and that $2000 shouldn't hit the beneficiary in month one. you should pay that over a year. and the senate finance committee reported a bailout that also has a cap on medicare part d. if the house and senate could agree to do those two things, those 45 million people who are the highest utilizers of drug and live on fixed incomes would never have a significant problem again with ability to a for the medicines they need. that would be worth doing. but government control of pricing has never succeeded in any place, and it certainly would be ruinous of our ability to innovate new drugs. sarah: you mentioned that with prices companies would charge under the pelosi plan, companies wouldn't b

if they decide to do that, they will bring forward a simple bill, and it would have the date in it.i understand from speaking to senior liberal democrats that there are still talks going on about how this might happen, because obviously if you are the opposition you can't necessarily bring forward a bill without being given government time to do it. the government might have to do it. the government might have to do it. the government might have to do it, but both the snp and the liberal democrats would want a commitment from boris johnson that he won't try to continue taking that bill to deliver brexit, the withdrawal agreement bill, through parliament, because there were rumours today that he might try and come back to that. you will remember it got its second reading, that is the first hurdle, really, for a bill to go through parliament. that was passed by a majority of mps, but because they didn't vote for his shortened timetable, he decided not to pursue it. there is nothing to stop him trying again to bring that bill and get it through its other stages, and the liberal democra

i'm sandra smith. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning.he syria crisis sparking political fallout on the hill. senators lindsey graham, chris van hollen looking for additional sanctions on turkey despite the cease-fire. mike mccaul on the sanctions here on "america's newsroom." >> we have a sanctions bill both i do in the house and the senate foreign relations committee as well that we're prepared to move forward with if this cease-fire does not work. we certainly want to give it a chance to see if this can be -- peace can be accomplished. >> bill: for the latest on the ground trey yengst has the report from there. >> good morning. fox news can confirm clashes are erupting in northern syria just hours after a cease-fire was brokered. there are also reports of civilian casualties occurring. all of this after vice president mike pence was here in ankara yesterday meeting with turkish president erdogan for more than five hours. today new images show black smoke rising from several kurdish-controlled areas just hours ago. sources on the ground

it's not the easiest of bills. we get our fair share of controversy, in addition to taking care of all of our public lands, we also have oversight of our native peoples. we also have oversight of the e.p.a. so we've got a range of subject matter that sometimes can bring us together and sometimes causes some bumps along the way. but we committed to do working collaboratively, working together, i think has resulted in a good, strong measure that the senate now sees before it. last year was the first time since fy-20, so nine years, that the interior and environment appropriations was brought before the full senate. so we've been in a situation where for years we've kind of been at the tail end of the line, the last of those spending bills to move, and now we're debating it in the first package. so we really like we kind of arrived here. but, again, you don't arrive here as part of the package without a great deal of work, you don't do that and receive unanimous support from the committee for a second year in a row no

speaker, the bills before us this week are consumer protection bills. together these bills make an effort to give everyday americans access to clear, die stible -- digestible affings to help them make informed decisions. the inequality in this country is historic. the experience is on par of the great depression. without adjustments like the ones proposed in these bills it can only get worse. the most visible indicator of wealth and equality in america today may be the forbes magazine list of the nation's 400 richest americans. in 2018, the three men at the top of this list, amazon bounder jeff bezos, microsoft founder bill gates, and investor warren buffett, held combined fortunes worth more than the total wealth of the poorest half of americans. three men had more wealth than 160 million americans. in 1989, the bottom 90% of the u.s. population held 33% of all wealth. by 2016, the bottom 90% of the population held only 23% of wealth. the wealth share of the top 1% increased from about 30% to approximately 40% over the same period of time. the tax bill

, the honest elections bill. one democrat voted against the shield act. the shield act could have been a bipartisan bill. unfortunately just like with h.r. 1 and the safe act, they didn't include us. they didn't want to work with us. this bill would have addressed some of the things we could agree on. their attempt to do so was poisoned with other o provisions. we ought to be able to have a disclosure requirement when it comes to online political ads. there should be a click threw so people know who paid for those online social media ads. unfortunately the democrats didn't have a single hearing so we could ask any social media platforms what are they going o do to make this work for us? howalready working to insure that are they there aren't going to be russian ads paid for in the next election like the $1100,000 that facebook accepted in the 2016 election. again, my colleagues in washington have failed to really look at the progress that we've made in securing our elections. >> congressman, theprovisions in the
