beyers annual shareholders meeting in april $2900.00 a day of reckoning for c.e.o. and supervisory board chairman v. on a vent they are stock price has fallen nearly 50 percent since its acquisition of seed and chemical giant monsanto shareholders are going ballistic. the board takes cover. in his opening speech the nobel months tony is defensive because the market reaction has been exaggerated in our opinion the current stock price does not reflect the true value of our company rules but we understand the prevailing sense of uncertainty. the phones will. calm on is unapologetic finding fault neither his own actions nor in those of the board as in previous years environmental activists are making noise outside beyers meeting but. thanks to them bayer is as bad as monsanto arguably the company with the worst image in the world. i said i think i feel as if the board absolutely made a mistake and it totally misjudged the risks that monsanto was bringing into the marriage especially in view of the lawsuits that have begun piling up both sides under normal circumstances

dialogue on beyers terms in february 21000 its communications department invited the press minus their cameras to the bay arena to premier league soccer club bayer leverkusen with a view on to the chemically fertilized pitch the aim was to convince journalists about the advantages of life as it as an introduction they were shown a 6 minute film. sri lanka home of cylon t.v. worldwide this tea is valued for its unique qualities sri lanka's fertile soil and perfect climate offers the ideal conditions for the production of the finest aromas and good yields. so i told him for the elaborately produced video takes us to sri lanka and according to the film's narrative the exotic paradise came under serious threat 4 years ago the government banned the use of like a safe food exam to learn to accept in sri lanka suddenly we'd sprung up everywhere . on cults best of x 2 teen rice and corn yields collapse. in father selection in india the list sound bites from plantation managers scientists and politicians underscore the severity of the situation but then there's a turning. citing a misguided dec

later we receive an email from beyers corporate communications department. it underlines the accuracy of its sri lanka video and rejects any attempt to question the facts it contains in particular it defends the expert interviewed in the film as an absolute authority in his field. they are also emphasizes that weather conditions in sri lanka played no significant role in crop losses. the 2 scientists are stunned by this effort to invalidate their findings not least because the scope of their research is much broader than monsanto buyer and their best selling weed killer roundup. how do pesticides enter the human body and what harm can they cause how long can substances like life a safe be detected and how many people are affected. to answer these questions we had different. at the could so institute in strasbourg scientists spend more than 18 months on a study investigating life estate residues and hair samples from hundreds of people in use at all 6 we take strands less than 3 centimeters long. hair is considered a reliable bio monitoring tool to measure lo

i think chairman nadler is clearly moving forward. >> it doesn't seal to be unclear to don beyer. you say what then? >> i say that what we're doing is our oversight and investigative work the entire congress. which is what we should do. you know, generally, i don't see how you can go to just a judiciary committee and say we want you to make an inquiry in regards to impeachment without having all of the evidence that you have need. and so the finance and services committee is continuing to do an investigation. the ways and means committees -- >> you don't think the shouse launching an inquiry? so you disagree with fad ler? >> yeah. i think what the house is doing is completing its oversight investigation. once that is completed, all of that work will then go to the judiciary committee and then at that point the judiciary committee can make a determination what it needs to do, where it's going, it needs all the evidence. >> why does it seem it's hard to get this straight. with something as consequential as an impeachment inquiry, it seems when it comes to the messaging of its hang,

bob beyer is joining us to talk about it. president trump spoke with the crown prince and we have the tweet from secretary of state mike pompeo blaming it on iran. can the u.s. make that determination so quickly? >> well, it is very unlikely that yemen has the technology to launch ten drones, evade radar and the rest of it. and, you know, we're pretty well settled on the idea that the houthis who have claimed responsibility for there are backed by iran. which tells me that we are inching toward a conflict with iran. there is simply no way this administration or europe can let this go. because you know, they have a stabilization facility that if you take that out and continue these attacks, we are talking about the energy supplies for most of the world. >> what action do you anticipate the u.s. will take against iran? >> well, we couldt retaliate against iran and that problem with that is there could be a very quickly an escalation. which would put the entire gulf in jeopardy. which, you know, sorry for running these figures b

beyer. >> mr. secretary, thank you for being here. d.o.e. has robust programs that have helped demonstrate carbon capture technology. ethanol plant, hydrogen production facility, on a coal fire power plant, but we're enjoying this explosion of natural gas, the shale gas revolution. what is d.o.e. doing for carbon capture on natural gas plants and on other things like cement manufacturing? >> yes, sir. as i said, i won't rehash this again, but we focused on -- one of the first projects i went to as secretary was the petro nova plant outside of houston, i think in ft. bend county. and we're 90 plus percent of the emissions are captured. they're then sent over to be used in an enhanced oil recovery process and oil field i think 80 miles away outside of victoria, texas. >> what kind of plant is petro nova? >> it is a coal-powered plant. >> so those are -- those -- we're not building new ones, we're closing the old ones down. what are we doing with the natural gas plants? >> paul, you want to take a -- >> mr. -- >> so this is one of the most exci

joining me is don beyer, he sits on the commission that oversees noaa. congressman, thank you for being here. >> thank you, very much. >> off have called for wilbur ross to be fired over this. they flat out deny this happened. you are calling for him to resign. do you think that's premature at all? >> i don't think so at all. i think this is the final straw, kate. ross has been a disaster so far. i mean he lied or mislead on his ethics forms. he got all involved in what looks like philadelphiaer trading. he's been held in contempt by the house for denying their subpoenas. he, now this is sort of a final straw of threatening to fire senior noaa appointees if they didn't stick one trump's false claims about alabama. i just listened to acting director jacobs. he was pretty clear to avoid saying that the president didn't tell him that. i think i believe the "new york times" in their reporting. >> we have learned yesterday that the national weather service director is a kind of same conference you are talking about. this national service director. they prompt

beyer: i thank you, mr. chairman. i'd like to thank my colleague, mr. levin, for his leadership on this amendment. i have been invested in this issue throughout my time in congress. earlier this year my republican colleague, chris smith, and i introduced the atlantic seismic air gun protection act, a stand alone bill that would amend the outer contint nental shelf seismic activities. in the north atlantic, mid-atlantic, south atlantic, and straits of florida. this amendment would do just that. our coastalline counts on healthy ecosystems that generate $95 billion in gross domestic product every year and support nearly 1.4 million jobs every year. seismic blasting poses a major threat to marine life, including the critically endangered north atlantic right whale, on the verge of extinction. because they are extremely loud, these die night-like blasts will have widespread impacts on the behavioral fish and wildlife. if these are impacted it's serious danger to our coastal economies this. will protect our marine life and coastal economies. i encourage my c

i know jeff beyer, response and recovery director. i brought both of them on. they're extremely talented emergency managers. . >> president trump spent the holiday weekend, as you know, staying back in the u.s. he did not go to monitor the storm. he spent time golfing. sent 100 plus tweets. some of them related to the storm, some of them not. is the criticism that he is facing, the optics, fair, in your view? . >> i saw the president showed up at fema. he gave me unprecedented support. he always had my back. he always had fema's back. and i think it says a lot when the president not only shows up at fema, he came to fema two or three times while i was there, brought his entire executive cabinet with him. the president has a lot on his plate and has a lot to worry about across the globe. you know, i don't want to speak for what his priorities are. but i know that he's got the back of fema. he knows how difficult and complex fema's job is. . >> brock long. thank you again for being on the show. appreciate it >> thank you. >>> hurricane coverage is far from over.

ideal to not have a confirmed administrator in the nosition at fema, but, you know, i brought jeff beyer ate gaenor in, and knowing those two guys are back there working in control of people, yeah i have great confidence. they are two of the best emergency managers i have ever met. and they're backed up by 20,000 of the most battle hardened fema staff that has ever existed. ehese guys have been through it over the last two years. they have been responding to vtorms and events across half the globe. a lot of americans don't realize they responded to the morn mariannas when they were hit with the strongest storm in history. they responded to the virgin islands. we had over 220 events, vesically a new event every three or four days. these guys have been truly dedicated. eiey bust their rear ends to serve other people, and i sleep peacefully knowing that pete is there, jeff is there, and the feperienced fema staff is in place. >> brennan: you're praising the leadership, but you have been critical of the agency's functions recently. you said that it's dying a death of a thousand cuts, underst

beyer does not want a redo confirmation hearing. the white house is pulling this new nomination to run fema. it was a barroom altercation. we can report exclusively here tonight that jeff byard sent a letter to the acting director of homeland security last thursday formally requesting his nomination be withdrawn or at least we can tell you about the existence of a letter written to the acting director of homeland security dated last thursday. i don't know when it was written but it is dated september 12th. here is the letter. i think this is exclusive, the first anybody has seen this letter as far as we are aware. quote, secretary, sir, please accept this as my formal request to withdraw in the federal emergency agency. so that is that apparently. we have been communicating about the byard nomination and have had a lot of back and forth about the official arrested, her deputy who was also arrested on different bribery charges, on byard's role as the person at fema headquarters who had a coordinating relationship with her, the only p

beyer. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. beyer: thank you, mr. chairman. mr. speaker, i have been speaking about the needle to ban forced arbitration since i joined congress. it's wonderful to have this bill up in congress. i think what's most troubling about forced arbitration, when we finally discover we become a victim of it, we feel helpless and taken advantage of. they are buried in the fine print of everyday contracts, before we know it we are unknowingly giving up our legal rights. i come before you, mr. speaker, as a small business owner to say this is completely unnecessary. as a small business owner of 46 years, we have -- selling 4,000 and 5,000 cars a year and never had to resort to mandatory binding arbitration. if you have a conflict, we would love to go to arbitration with you, and we will respect whatever the arbiter says, but if you don't like it, you can still sue us. the maximum choice to the consumer. as a result you rarely have a conflict that gets out of hand. one only needs to think about the wells fargo case where wells fargo is sued by

ainsley: jeff beyer is the associate administrator fema and recovery he joins us now with an update.for joining us. >> good morning. thank you for having us. ainsley: i'm sure you are not getting any sleep and working really hard. what's the latest. >> the latest is hurricane dorian continues to threaten right now florida. but really we are prepared for four states, florida, georgia, south carolina and north carolina. i want to say thank you to the media. you are doing outstanding job as part of our team getting the warnings out. this is a very slow moving storm. so but we want to keep our citizens' eye on the storm. this has the potential to really devastate not just florida, south carolina and north carolina. steve: that's why we don't know where it is because it's stalled over the bahamas. i was reading in the palm beach post this morning slightly moving toward florida. nonetheless, your job is to have all the emergency stuff ready so now as the stuff -- as the storm appears to be ready to move up our coast, is that what fema does, prepositioning things? you have to move them agai
