as we mentioned, the trump administration issued the most -- or congress under the trump administration passed the most of these c.r.a. resolutions and those were targeting the labor space. but as i alluded to, they target really any policy area. but i think something that's interesting to note is that a lot of these rules are not major rules so a major rule is something that has an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more every year. only a handful of the rules that have actually been overturned by the c.r.a. were major rules which is a little bit counterintuitive. you would think they would use such an easy tool to get a quick policy win on a big topic. but it's really been more of these smaller rules that we've seen. host: what's an kpwafrpl of a major rule -- an example of a major rule? guest: let's think about something that just came out this past week. i think the federal trade commission's noncompete clause rule is likely a major rule, if i remember correctly. because those are rules that have a large impact on the environment. or on the economy. host: when we're jud

the biden administration has been busy acting because the previous trump administration refused to doits job and neglected to finalize 25 appliance efficiency standards. now h.r. 6192 takes an ax to energy conservation standards. it slows down the standards setting process. it allows future administrations to revoke existing standards and bans states from setting their own conservation standards. if this bill were to become law, manufacturers would be faced with market uncertainty and regulatory about face every time the government changes hands. and that's problematic for future innovation, particularly considering that many of the efficiency stan -- efficiency standards finalized by the department of energy were reach through the consensus recommendations made by appliance manufacturers and efficiency advocates there's a robust process for setting efficiency standards and this sproases works. all standards must be economically justify and technologically feasible. and let me be clear because we're likely to hear a lot of fear mongering and misinformation today from my republican collea

why did you decide now was a time to leave the administration? , , administration?olitical _ administration? until yesterday i was a political appointee - administration? until yesterday i was a political appointee and i i was a political appointee and i was a political appointee and i resigned because as an americanjew with i resigned because as an american jew with loved ones here americanjew with loved ones here in america i can no longer serve at the pleasure of the president while supporting and finding the genocide in gaza, 35,000 palestinians have been killed in the last eight months, 15,000 children are now israel is pressing ahead with the invasion of rafah and the president decided to send another billion dollars in arms and i thought about this for a while. it is a challenging personal decision for me. i think i had hoped the president would use some of his leverage at different points in the last eight months but what has happened in the last few weeks was the straw.— was the straw. you poked on preston biden's _ was the straw. you poked on preston biden

administrator milgram, thank you.tainly for taking time to , speak with us today, but also for your service to the country. and thanks to your entire agency, the agents who work tirelessly in my district, around the country, to keep our community safe. i wanted to, if i could, talk a little bit about operation overdrive. in 2022, the d.e.a. initiated an operation driven by data to focus d.e.a. law enforcement resources on communities, including my own in rochester, new york, where criminal networks are causing the most harm. i want to thank you and your staff who are continuing to be in a position to comprehensively brief us on the state of the operation and its successes. can you give me an update on phase two of operation overdrive and what your team saw on the ground in the 57 operating locations last year, including rochester? administrator milgram: we launched operation overdrive in 2021. we started it and effectively launched it in 2022. the idea is to go into local communities where we live and work and where e

it with the administration. what else can be done to put pressure on the russian economy? we must consider all the levers at our disposal to push russia out of ukraine and weaken its ability to wage war. russia is tough and a dangerous opponent. who but ukrainians should know about this. we in the west must understand that russia will not stop in ukraine. if putin succeeds in ukraine, he will quickly move on. it threatens the baltic states. threatens moldova, there are reports of the work of russian agents who use methods of disinformation and actual sabotage, particularly in western europe. russia under putin is a huge threat and we must act accordingly. dear mr. ambassador, frit, we do not trust putin in ukraine. i think, no one in the world believes putin, but he regularly gives one or another false signals about russia's readiness for one or another negotiation. and at the same time, all his followers always say: "well, taking into account the realities on the ground." it is about the fact that russia would

and what is the administration's? well, we do need the saudis help lower oil prices because that's foreign policy for the middle class. there's nothing more foreign policy for the middle class than lowering prices. and on top of that, it's to have ukraine for you, because that helps the global food supply, which also affects prices with inflation anyway, all of these talking points that they use and we're sort of are either unwilling to and as much as they talk about foreign policy if the middle class they haven't really rung it it's always the second order or at most second order talking point or case. and i've and i've never understood it because they're so adamant it and they're so adamant that this is what would take. and now this is sort of the interesting is, you know, i've struggled with this the current israeli case, the polls show generally their support for israel, but not support for the way israel's doing it right. so what is the middle class case at least? what is the popular case like? it seems like bide

meanwhile, pressure is mounting in washington on the biden administration to allow ukraine to strike military targets in russia, with congressional lawmakers from both parties expressing their displeasure with the current policy this week. and urged biden to stop micromanaging ukraine's use of american weapons. we will talk more about this and whether it will be able to change the situation with our congress correspondent kateryna lisunova. katya, hello! congratulations maria! katy, i know you 've already spoken to both democrats and ... republicans on this topic, what is the overall sentiment in congress on lifting this ban and how broad is the support? in general, if we talk about the leaders of the democrats, they are mostly reserved in their statements, because one way or another they have to support the policies of their president. at the same time , more and more democrats with whom i spoke are inclined to support the withdrawal of this from defense, to fire american weapons at military targets of the russian federation on the territory of russia. so the leading democrat adam s

the administration, they say they are trying to protect the u.s. industry and help them through this transition. if it is just protecting them against china it is one thing, but trying to protect them from technology changes is another. this administration does seem to be very involved in the union worker. we have not really seen that. i've never seen a u.s. president join a picket line like we saw president biden to. -- do. they seem to be very concerned about that part of the citizenship. but absolutely, you know, it is always better to rip the band- aid off and go through a lot of pain up front, and then let the market work it out. this administration doesn't really seem to want to embrace trade in the same way that previous ones have. >> this is one of the viewers on x posting. can you comment on the former president's believes that tariffs don't raise prices per this time magazine interview he did recently? >> well. a tariff is a tax on imports. taxes raise prices. that is what we saw with the trump tariffs. there have been a lot of people who

buildings, administrations, but when our patience ran out, ours began to do something similar, onlyome in with molotov bottles, but simply peacefully, normally, saying that you guys are leaving, don’t get hurt, we are starting to create the donetsk people’s republic, there will be one, we have created something incomprehensible there. what, well, we’ll be on our own and we will ask to join the russian federation, as was originally said. rallies at the lenin monument became a point of attraction for those who did not agree with the armed coup in kiev. coordination of the actions of like-minded people was through personal connections and meetings in public squares. through the phone, through acquaintance and through the terrain, through points of the area. when i arrived in senelnikovo, dnepropetrovsk region, i was actively traveling then, i left, simply, simply left the ministry of defense, came to the cossacks who were guarding. monument to lenin, i say, the cossacks, the lenin monument, something is not breaking, they say, well, you know, everyone just gathers here, yeah, because t

in the biden administration's veto threat, mr. speaker, it says that the rationale was to prevent unintended consequences with no other explanation, by the way. what about the likely consequences of failure to fully support israel now when they need it? does the administration doubt that hamas will seize any opening, any opportunity to further maim and torture and kill? congress approved the supplemental in a bipartisan way, and we expect the administration to follow the law and to deliver. we cannot stand by while the biden administration tries to force israel to fight for its very own existence with one hand tied behind its back. i want to thank my colleagues, chairman calvert, chairman cole, chairman joyce, and i want to thank the speaker and leader scalise for bringing this very important bill to the floor. it is time to tell the administration keep your word, support israel, follow the law, send the weapons that you, mr. president, and israel has requested. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the ge

and this administration is threatening the rural way of life. we're fighting back with bills like congressman curtis' west act. this week we're advancing important solutions to help meet the skyrocketing global demand for minerals and resources. with china, russia, and other adversaries having their malign influence across the globe, we need to say yes in my backyard for america's abundant natural resources. you know, as you look at demand for minerals and rare earth elements, especially with the push to a more electrified economy, it's -- we're blessed in america because we have every element and mineral that we need here in america. the problem is it's in the ground and this administration would rather buy these things from china and our adversaries than to develop them here in the u.s. and we're pushing back against that. we're also promoting access to federal lands and returning power back to the states, the tribes, and local leaders who know these lands best. this is the only way we'll implement true conservation for generations to am co. i

this crisis is absolutely created by the administration, it is fueled by the administration, and the administration has become addicted to the funding that it is doing to drive these places. but oh, by the way, this doesn't just impact my community. which is half of the southern border. americans all over the country are dying from fentanyl. americans all over the country are feeling this influx of people that are here illegally. and all of a sudden you have people from denver and new york and chicago going, wait a second, what about me? what about our roads? i'm a u.s. citizen. what about my children? what about my future? for some reason the biden administration has put america last in this equation and it needs to stop. and that stops by us -- let's vote on it today. where are you at? are you with america? or are you with people that enter this country illegally? i've met many of these folks. i was in del rio three weeks ago. there was a family that walked up to the bridge. beautiful young lady with two beautiful children. she walks up to the bring and in spanish she says, i was t

this is the position of the biden administration. the position of donald trump and his supporters seems to be that ukraine has less value and priority. there were times when donald trump was hostile to ukraine and sympathetic to vladimir putin, which is a terrible position. it is also true that trump has recently changed his position on ukraine. on the eve of the vote in congress on providing additional aid to ukraine, donald trump published on the true social website. a statement in which he claimed that the survival and strength of ukraine is in the interests of the united states. the statement was tucked inside a long political post attacking the biden administration. and yet, this is the rare case when donald trump recognized the importance of ukraine for the united states. i not a supporter of donald trump, but i think it was a good move and hope it continues. however, to be sure, president biden is... a much more reliable supporter of ukraine than trump ever was or will be. ukraine is currently in a critical situation, we under

as the biden administration refuses to provide a clear path for students or school administrators, we have seen the department detour to democrat priorities. after more than three months of requests by my office, this administration has failed to provide congress with a transparticipate response on how -- transparent response on how they are adequately making collections to the fafsa, even as we are rapidly approaching next year's rollout. meanwhile, just two weeks ago, right before college decision day, the biden administration announced an additional $7.4 billion in loan cancellation. and $6 billion more today, bringing the grand total to $160 billion. biden's ed department has also prioritized radical gender ideology over the most faument stach -- supplemental statutory protections of women in schools. it's clear, folks, the left lane to higher learning has been paved with the president's political pet projects and iowans are in for a bumpy ride. when congress passed the fafsa si simplification act, it was -- it was done so with the understanding that the department of education wo

hopefully that's what the biden administration will do. sometimes it seems that the biden administration is worried about escalation. i do not understand why anyone should prevent ukrainians from defending their country, in particular, by forbidding and attacking specific places in russia, from where strikes are carried out on the territory of ukraine. there is a heated debate in washington about this, and my friends and i are calling on the administration to do everything possible to lift these restrictions. and privately, and allow ukraine to use american weapons as it sees fit. dear mr. ambassador frith, are there prospects that the words of the same president macron will be implemented, yes, and the statement was also extremely resonant on the part of general brown, so we understand that it is about the prospect of what is possible for the military of our western friends and allies will be on our territory in order to... it is possible to be not only instructors, if we talk about the seriousness of applying such a scenario, yes, becaus

and trump administration officials. and there was a lot of agreement, a few heated debates, but a lot of agreement. and prominent u.s. senators said what we really need is a trump reagan. and i thought that was an interesting idea what would a trump reagan fusion look like? and so that's what dan and i try to articulate in the book. and i think there's this conventional wisdom that the party is very much divided between kind of the trumpian wing and the reaganite wing. and actually in doing the research in the book, dan and i came to the conclusion the party is more united than people think. yes, on ukraine or other issues, there are big fights, but when it comes to just kind of basic worldview, i think there is a conservative that's different from a progressive worldview, brings them together, and then we go through and talk about peace through strength in defense policy of free and fair trade and economic policy. american exceptional, its kind of major pillars. but then china, iran, north korea, border, immigration, c

the administration was very keen. the reagan ministration was very keen to not have a replay of watergate. and so they wanted to reassure the public that they were not trying to cover this up. and so president reagan appointed a special commission, led by a former senator named john tower to investigate the attorney general, edwin meese, who is the one who held the ess conference shortly thereafter, appointed an independent counsel. his name was lawrence walsh, and walsh's charge was to go investigate the iran contra affair and explore whether there were any civil or whether there should be any charges brought against anyone, either civilly or criminally. now, this was a joint congressional committee that was formed along with the independent commission. the independent counsel. how frequent were joint committees formed of both senate and house members on this? this was quite unusual. there certainly have been joint committees, bicameral efforts in some instances, but this was pretty unusual. they were to select commi

administration.- carved out in the trump administration.ministration. we have to i leave it there but interesting conversation, thank you for joining us. conversation, thank you for joining us— let's turn to some other important news around the world. hundreds of french police are searching for a prisoner after he escaped from a van in a deadly ambush. two officers and three others were wounded after two vehicles rammed a prison van transporting mohamed amra. gunmen then opened fire, attacking the prison officers, and fled with the prisoner. amra was recently convicted of burglary and had been charged with a deadly kidnapping. federal investigators say the ship that crashed into a baltimore, maryland bridge in march causing it to collapse, suffered power outages before leaving port due to human error. the national transportation safey board report says officials are still investigating why the vessel lost power again in the moments before it struck the bridge. six people on the bridge died. donald trump's defence team cross—examined michael

administrator. a couple of weeks ago after the eclipse i appreciated you coming to cleveland into spending the afternoon with us. it means a lot to have you. while you were out there we had some great conversations including the importance of the research center which is located right in my district. administrator nelson, the space technology mission directorate funds a lot of significant priorities for nasa many of which the research centerrt is involved in, however, funding has been relatively stagnant over the last five years. the budget request proposals ramping up funding for st gandy in large part to support the development of the power technology to create nuclear power systems that could operate on the moon. can you please talk about the importance of the surface power why we need to invest in it now andop not just further down the line and can you address the importance of one's role in the project? >> yes, congressman and it was great seeing you in cleveland. and before i forget, our comma

the previous administration.t ended child care tax credits during the pandemic which not one republican voted for i might add we cut asian-american child poverty nearly 25% to record lows. the lowest across the board beat big pharma and gave the ability to negotiate prescription drug prices. and capped $35 a month down $400 a month for seniors on medicare. our forms not only save lives, guess what, they save the taxpayers $160 billion. 160 billion. medicare no longer has to pay those exorbitant prices. we're also making college more affordable and students debt for millions of borrowers, including for many in this community. that's worth clapping for, i promise you. [applause] >> leader in the world having the best education, i don't understand. we increased pell grants by $800 a year largest increase in decade which matters to 40% of the aani students that rely on pell grants. folks, when i was growing up $800 makes a lot of difference to a family. more people have health insurance today than never before and i'

and the biden administration is going to hold up the aid to israel? we're going to continue to speak out against that as well. the person leading that charge to speak out and hold the administration accountable is our speaker, mike johnson. mr. johnson: thank you, leader scalise and all my colleagues, thank you all for being here. it's a big day on capitol hill. i've passed the six-month mark serving as speaker of the house. part of the job of the speaker is to go all around the country and meet with americans and hear from americans and engage -- and gauge what their greatest concerns are. in the last six months we have calculated it, over the weekend, i've been to over 100 cities and more than half he the states. doesn't matter where i am, out west or manhattan or the deep south or the midwest, it doesn't matter, the concerns are the same. the people of this country are deeply concerned about the border ka it's a people of the open border orchestrated by the biden administration. they're deeply concerning at the rising cost of living. about rising c

we don't want to get ahead of the administration, from a foreign policy perspective, the administration speaks for the united states government. it's important for them to have conversations with our allies and friends within the region. the i.c.c. has not taken any action, that i'm aware of this morning. if they do, the administration is within their right to respond if they need help and support from members of congress to implement what it is they seek to do, i would expect them to reach out to us and to work with us in a collaborative way, in a bipartisan way. reporter: do you think congress should get velocity in that? mr. aguilar: the i.c.c. hasn't done anything to this point. it is premature. we have said from the very beginning, our key focus and the importance of the national security supplemental, as the vice chair mentioned, is helping our allies in the region, helping ukraine, helping israel, and unlocking that humanitarian support that was so important within this region for innocent palestinians in gaza. that is -- that is important. that should be the focus. implementing

administrators must take charge of their institutions. the basic objectives here couldn't be clearer. on campus, protect jewish community members. clear the encampments. let students go to class and take their exams. and allow graduations to proceed. here in washington, witt draw radical -- withdraw radical nominees, enforce the department of justice and education to investigate civil rights viol violations. if moral clarity does not pre prevail, in the ivory tower and the bidenmi

this administration is compromised.states is a administration will treat you well if your friend of the united states they will treat you horribly and that's par for the course of the biden of administration in joe biden in particular for the last 50 years. maria: to be clear we should not expect accountability here, they keep rolling over and allowing people, enemies of america to come in and look at our secure areas, and no accountability, you try to impeach mayorkas, it failed we should just accept it? >> do not accept it, you need a new president you need to elect donald trump as the president of the united states. when that happens all of this will change because is going to be in charge of the ministry of state, right now biden is in charge of the administrative state and they do what he wants them to do and there's very little we can do in congress to stop it. again i keep saying it is about the presidency is about electing a new president and donald trump will stop all of this on day one. maria: we should point

it's the kind of expedited rule by administration came into office taking down from the former administration. so to have the administration are considering moving faster, cutting the carpet may, may have to drop to talk to counsel survey signals a change in strategy and i think we'll see more on this moving forward trend what we are talking about assignment and border policies this morning. we would teach her thoughts. join the conversation this morning, democrats at 202-748-8000. republicans 202-748-8001. independence 202-748-8002. text is full a local your , city and state to 202-748-8003. brenda in indiana pennsylvania democratic caller you are up first. >> caller: good morning. i have two points to to make an event have a question. first of all, for years the biden administration, republicans have been saying president biden isn't the real president and they've been shouting to the world that the border is wide open. so i believe republicans are responsible for more people coming to the border. second, i think it's quite a coincidence that represented him in s.o.b. on your show next beca

compare that to what the prior administration did. my predecessor promise to increase american exports and boost manufacturing, but he did neither, he failed, he signed a trade deal with china, they were supposed to buy $200 billion more american goods, he sent china imports from america barely budged. now trump and the republicans won a cross tariffs on all imports on all countries if reelected. that would drive up costs for families on an average of 1000 $500 per year each year. he simply doesn't get it. for years i've heard many republicans and democratic friends say china is not on the rise, trust me, china is on the rise, america is falling behind. america is rising, we have the best economy in the world. since i've come the office the gdp is up, trade deficit with china is down. lowest level in over a decade and we are standing up to chinese unfair economic practices. we are standing up for peace and stability across the taiwan straits. i revitalized our partnerships to specific allies in india, australia, japan, south korea, th

as the administrator of ima it also is heart of the entire biden harris administration. president biden has invested historic levels of funding towards building a more resilient nation. he even created the first ever national climate resilience framework to help guide all of our efforts. the framework unites the entire federal family and this and working work and it spells out how we should collaborate with nongovernmental partners while building state and local, tribal and territorial capacity. because the truth is government from the federal level to the local level cannot do this all on our own. we need to widening our circle and include partners from all sectors of the economy in this critical work. from academia to nonprofits, from the private sector to philanthropy, we need to work together in lockstep to create a more resilient nation. and i have seen this work begin to take root around the country on all the trips that i take. in florida international university, scientist have created a wall of simulator to test how buildings can survive a category 5 hurricane.

chairman and administrator nelson. with the goals of returning americans to the moon, the artemis program, private partners in all 50 states, and over two dozen in florida's 10 congressional district. artemis is a significant contributor to nasa's four points have in billion-dollar economic impact on central florida alone, and has partnered with the university of central florida on several research projects to support them. this is where my colleague, congressman posey and i, are leading a letter to the subcommittee calling for additional artemis funding to overcome delays and technical complications. mr. administrator, with all the challenges us to complex and cutting-edge program, what can nasa do to minimize delays in the mission cadence? >> first of all, we cannot congressman like you that help us make an additional request. understand that we are not going to launch until it is ready. and that is because safety is our first. when we put humans on an explosive bomb called a rocket, we are going to do everything pos

the biden administration pursuing policies threatening energy.he 15th hearing at the fullen subcommittee level at the congress specifically related to the biden administration's policies regulations. our oversight hearings have examined a range of topics including energy efficiency standards, critical minerals, nuclear energy and the administration's ban on liquefied natural gas export permits to non-free-trade agreement countries. decisions like the department's ban on new liquefied natural gas export permits just the most recent example jeopardize the energy security. jobs and producers. according to the center for lng increasing lng exports provides great economic benefits like bolstering labor incomes and lowering the cost of imported goods thereby protecting consumers from inflation. further, we know that increased lng sent to europe will safeguard the continent from russian gas. rather than ask questions about the consequences of the van or other administration policies, today we will likely hear democrats geminis u.s. oil and gas producers

the last administration on a host of issues i attempted to work with the trump administration and weworked through it. >> you're not giving the option to work through it. it's getting challenging. >> the federal plan is in place until he state plan is agreed-upon. >> but you rejected all the state plans. i didn't get the sense that there was any kind of a discussion going on here. the state regulator recognized my limitations in negotiating in the federal government. i didn't resubmit the same homework. >> but you got a chance to resubmit to have something before a federal plan would come in on top of you. that's the point i'm trying to make. >> it depends on the timeframe. to send litigation from other states have been asking for this relief for multiple years we have to use the tools we have ,the state implementation plan has been available. now there's a federal plan in place until they can negotiate those. it's not a closed door. it won't to be because the courts are going to come in and to tell you you've overextended your authorities didn't have to give the states the ability t
