this is a terrible, terrible bill. so this bill is not about innovation. it's about taking away protections for consumers from predatory loans. why in the world would we want to do that to people? i urge my colleagues, i urge them to protect consumers and to oppose this bill. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. hensarling: mr. speaker, i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the gentleman from colorado, mr. tipton, vice chairman of the subcommittee on oversight and investigations. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from colorado is recognized. mr. tipton: mr. speaker, thank you for the time. interesting being able to listen to this debate. the common ground is we want to be able to have consumers have access to capital and we also want responsible lending. we now need to reset this debate to the reality that's being faced on the ground. in an already challenging loan environment for many banks nationwide, madden v. midland decision has further limited the ability of national banks to be able to issue credi

like a reconciliation bill. because you cannot just do this in the regular appropriations process. that's one of the biggest things that republicans are worried about because they cannot actually tackle the growing share of mandatory spending through the already difficult appropriations process. greta: in alexandria, virginia, independent. caller: thank you for taking my phone call. i'm just curious about something i heard on another network this morning about nascar being mentioned in this bill. it is just kind of ludicrous that nascar, a multimillion dollar corporation opened owned by private corporation, is mentioned on capitol hill in a bill having to do with a shutout. -- shutdown. it's ironic that one of the major tracks in the nascar circuit is in kentucky where rand paul and mcconnell are located. i would like your comments on that, if you have any, maybe someone can delve into this stuff and what is going on in this bill that the average person will never know about. greta: you are a lot of things tucke

this is my bill. this is a bipartisan bill offered by jim matheson and fred upton a lot of years ago. it was never our intent to put people behind bars for having some misinformation based on the number of olives or pickles or dijon or mayonnaise. ms. delauro: if the gentleman will yield? mr. upton: i will not. it was not our intent to what f.d.a. has done. now i yield as much time as she may consume the author of this bill, the honorable cathy mcmorris rodgers, a member of the committee, where it passed 39-14 in committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from washington state is recognized. ms. mcmorris roger r.s.c. thank you. i rise today with legislation to address one of the most burdensome rules in the obama administration. when f.d.a. announced its final rule implementing a national menu labeling standard in 2014, the intent was two-fold. deliver customers increased access to nutrition information and establish a uniform single national standard. however, in trying to establish this unif

the underlying bill, this bill, h.r. 1865, puts a stop to that. as the department of justice has noted, it will allow for the prosecution of people who are trafficking in victims online. the walters amendment, however, for the first time would carve a hole in 230 and make it actually more difficult than the underlying bill to prosecute traffickers online. by creating potential liability for, quote, knowing that a user is using their website for facilitating sex trafficking, the walters amendment would create what legal experts call the moderator's dilemma. there's no obligation under law to moderate your website, and in fact, if you have two million users or 10 million users, you really don't know what's being posted by your users. by under this amendment, if you made any effort to try and find out what was happening among your users, as many websites do today, especially for child pornography, but also for trafficking, you would incur liability because you would then have a reason to know. now, other laws that deal with intermediary liability, su

the bill that has just asked is not a full year spending bill. it is a deal that has needed to so they canpassed write the spending bill. it is the reason why rand paul took his stand. he said he did not want to forget there was a massive debt ceiling increase. they don't know how much that will ultimately cost. there are a host of programs includinging, children's health programs, community health centers. and tax expenditures on the medicare side and energy sector side. these were not able to get through as a standalone's. -- standalone. bill --est stand-alone this is the largest fiscal package since 2009. they did not vote on this under obama. but now we have the majority supporting it under president trump. greta: will the two sides come together? one caller said that they will wait until the last minute, march 22, 23. thisthey be able to pass omnibus bill? sarah: i think they will wait until the last minute. it takes a while to write these bills. they are in charge of 12 separate bills and have not been able to make much progress without kno

bill: near allentown. could not find anyone in the historical society of the town -- county where the crime occurred to had heard about it. they are absolutely forgotten except for the old newspaper accounts. the murders were difficult to write about because, not to speak ill of southerners in any way, but the south at that time had low levels of literacy, and because there were low levels of literacy and a thin population, there were not many newspapers active in the area. there is no reason to believe that anyone from a newspaper organization ever visited the scene of the crime or ever interviewed a neighbor or police officer firsthand. just secondhand reports is all you have to go on, and you know, we have reconstructed what happened as best we could with as much confidence as we could without trying to fool anyone that we actually know what happened because the facts are difficult. brian: page 288, i will just start reading.

this bill is a long time coming. it's going to make important, much-needed changes to the representative payee program. to further solidify the committee's understanding and our legislative intent, i am sending the acting commissioner of social security a letter. this letter transmits a technical explanation of the bill. we have asked the acting commissioner to make that letter and technical explanation available on the agency's website. and i ask unanimous consent to insert this letter into the record. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. brady: i want to thank all of the members for their hard work and leadership on this important issue. particularly i want to express my gratitude to chairman johnson, ranking member larson, for your dedication to improving the representative payee program. this is a very important bill that has strong bipartisan support. i urge my colleagues to join me in supporting its passage. i'll reserve. the speaker pro tempore: does the gentleman reserve? the gentleman from connect

speaker, these are good bills and these are bipartisan bills, these are bills that we worked on for two congresses that will help increase access to credit, lower the cost of that credit, increase capital flows to the business sector to support the growth that the american people want. and i appreciate the rules committee allowing me to speak on these bills. i appreciate chairman hensarling putting them together. and to my friends on the other side, these are bills that went through regular order. these are bills that are bipartisan and these are bills that have support of the opposition. we have put them together in a bipartisan package today under this rule because our friends down the hall in the united states senate are rapidly moving a bipartisan package of improvements for our capital markets and our banks, something that we want, something we have waited some eight years for. and so this allows us to work better with our colleagues over in the senate where 14 democrats ve partnered with the senate banking committee to move bipartisan legislation to help us grow our economy. i yie

bill. it would be so beautiful to have one bill that everybody could support as opposed to, you know, 15 bills. everybody has their own bill. but, if we could have one terrific bill that everybody - started by the people around this take. special people. these are the people that seem to be most interested, very interested in this problem. it's a big problem. so, with that, i think i would like to start. maybe i'll ask john, you can start off and we'll go back and forth. we'll leave the media for a while and they can leave us with some thought. but, it is something that can be done. there's no reason for this. but again i really believe that , those people, it's idealistic, it is wonderful, it is a beautiful thing. if you think that somebody is going to be able to walk into a school, if they feel that they're not going to have bullets coming at them from the other direction, you're never going to solve the problem. i feel that. i feel that. but i'm certainly open to suggestions. so, john, w

this bill should allow that to happen. my colleagues, this continuing resolution also makes a very limited number of technical changes in funding levels for only the most essential needs to include, to prevent delays in preparation for the 2020 census, to assure that the judicial branch is able to pay jurors, to provide $220 million in emergency funding for the small business administration, to provide emergency loans to those whose lives and livelihoods were destroyed by last year's historic natural disasters. this legislation also includes the full fiscal year 2018 department of defense appropriations bill, totaling $659 billion for our armed forces, and i don't have to remind my colleagues that this bill already passed this house three times on a bipartisan basis, most recently last week. mr. speaker, we ask a great deal of our men and women in uniform, and we have an obligation to provide them and their families the resources they need to be safe, to complete their mission successfully at home and abroad. governing fro

this bill, like every bill, has parts i like and parts i don't like. one of the issues i fought for, aking sure that now $6 billion we are putting toward fighting the opioid crisis, will actually get to the places where it matters most. we must use a formula based on per capita statistics to ensure funds go to the hardest hit states and smaller states where the crisis and the need is the greatest. as a member of the appropriations committee, and having a direct hand on how the $6 billion will be targeted, i've been reassured that rural states like mine will not be short changed and whether he work to make sure the language in our funding bill makes it abundantly clear to the federal agencies that actually set the allocation formulas, we want resources flowing to where they don't mount -- count most. i want to thank chairman frelinghuysen and his predecessor, chairman rogers, for their commitment and leadership to helping. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the chair would remind the house to come to order. if you f

that is the bill of rights, always and forever, and a second bill of rights, let's think what the bill of rights is. roosevelt's conception of the second bill of rights was in keeping with the way he used the first bill of rights which was a way of promoting government. that is contrary to the way we think about the bill of rights, we think of it as limiting government but roosevelt saw it as a way of legitimating government action, what it was going to give you and do for you. and as a sort of unified deal died from him. the only - the g.i. bill of rights, the only legislation that came out of the second bill of rights, the bill of rights attached to it which gave these economic benefits the state gave to returning veterans. >> you note george w. bush - pres. george hw bush on the 100th - the 200th anniversary of the bill of rights, the charter of spot mac - negative liberties, one of the institutions that affected that was the supreme court and their decision to strike down mandatory flag salutes having previously upheld them a few years earlier, one of the most inspiring first amend

spending bill. this bill fails to include comprehensive immigration reform or the dream act. comprehensive immigration refor it would reduce our budget deficit by over $200 billion. increased tax revenue and increased productivity. while the dream act in similar measures haven't been formally scored, they also would contribute to reducing our budget deficit because hardworking americans would be able to get jobs, pay taxes and participate in the american dream. if this massive republican spending bill passes, it will only dig our nation deeper into a debt that will become harder and harder to ever emerge from. i urge my colleagues to reject this massive republican spending bill and get to work on fiscally responsible measures like comprehensive immigration reform and the dream act, to reduce our budget deficit and hopefully eliminate it, rather than bloat it further and further. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas. mr. sessions: mr. speaker, tha

now, let me say what this bill is not. it is not a comprehensive immigration bill. it is, instead, a good-faith effort, a bipartisan effort to address some pressing urgent issues and to let the cloud of uncertainty over the heads of young people who are contributing to our society and our economy and remove the fear that they could be at risk of deportation as of march 5th. again, i want to thank everyone who has worked so hard. senator manchin, my co-chair of the coalition, will speak next and expand upon that effort. thank you. >> thank you, susan. let me say quickly that first of all, i can't be more proud to be part of a group that came together truly as citizens and americans and as senators, working in a bipartisan way. i have never since i've been here in 2010, i've never been in a group that truly was so knowledgeable, so truthful, and so trustful as far as in a group for three weeks and kept coming and coming and coming. we always had 20 to 25, as you can see. it was truly in a bipartisan effort. that's the way the senate should work. it's the way it has wo

if at the end of this week we are unable to find ale bill that can pass -- find a bill that can pass -- i sincerely hope that is not the case -- the responsibility will fall on the president's shoulders and those in this body who went along with it. bipartisan negotiations are ongoing, perhaps very close to a conclusion. nothing is ever certain given the contentious nature of this debate, but i am hopeful that senators can put the president's hard-line demands to the side and come up with a deal that works for both parties. if we want to go beyond border security and the daca kids, let's do comprehensive reform. we did it once. it worked pretty well in the senate. the house blocked it. but let's go back to it. but first the issue at hand, the daca kids and border security. that's the only thing that can pass this chamber. the only thing. we need to push through to the finish line. there are only two days of debate remaining this week. everyone has to make a final effort to reach consensus. that doesn't mean adding new demands or drawing lines in the sand. it means being willing to co

i gave it a 9 out of 10. >> bill: pretty good rating. i'm bill hemmer. the deadly mass shooting at a florida high school is high on today's agenda. president trump asking the governors' advice as the nation looks for a solution. this is what he told officials a few days ago. >> president trump: a school is frankly no different. i want my schools protected just like my banks are protected. if you harden these sites in that way or a similar fashion not only teachers, coaches, other people that work in the building. if you hardened the sites, you aren't going to have this problem because these guys who lack courage will never go into those schools. >> bill: we are also learning a lot more about the sheriff, scott israel and the calls for him to step down. catherine herridge picks up the story from there in washington good morning. >> good morning. facing sharp criticism over how it handled the warning signs about the 19-year-old suspect nikolas cruz the sheriff's office is under new scrutiny over the weekend. the florida department of law enforcement is inv

all the spending bills in one bill.hey will try to pass that by march 23 for the continuing resolution -- before the continuing resolution runs out. they have agreed to spending levels for 2019. "the new york times" has this chart put together for where the 2 sides agreed to on defense and nondefense spending. democrats want more domestic spending and the military funding increased, higher than it has been under these continued resolutions. republicans wanted the military spending up as well. it would contribute to rising deficits and debt. according to preliminary analysis, the debt has surpassed $1 trillion by 2019, not seen since the recession. barbara in pennsylvania, democrat, hi. caller: hello. host: you are on the air. caller: three points. rand paul was on the spot. if they appoint people to check where the money is going out that we don't need, looking for things that don't count, we can get all that money back and pay off the debt. should becomee citizens. the puerto ricans should be able to vote, as they are

bill: welcome back to "chasing news," i am bill spadea. headlines we're chasing,u senator bob menendez friend, is sentenced to 17 years for fraud. >> a florida eye doctor, pal of menendez has been sentenced to 17 years in prison mr. medicare fraud. committing 67 crime, including submits false claims. >> detective sergeant james and detective stev stephen were givw jersey trooper of the year award, deactivating two live trh can. after a pipeas exploded in the same location. >> can you guess when had most , in 2017 in laguardia with perce. not all doom and gloom. highest number of to atlanta hartsfield jackson. >> andadlines we're chasing tonight. bill: i am bill live from center city in philadelphia this is fox 29 news at 11:00. >>> we gip tonight with breaking news. in the parkland school shooting. the officer supposed to help keep students and staff safe did not go into the building as that gunfire erupted. good evening and thanks for joining us. i'm iain page. the broward county sheriff says when that gunman was going through that florid

again, there is no funding for a border wall in this bill. it is an interim spending bill.'t get all of the funding bills worked out by late march, they could have another government shutdown. what's also not in this bill is daca. do they come back and have the same problem with house democrats and probably some senate democrats without any resolution to the daca issue? that is supposedly going to expire on the fifth of march. they have to resolve that. that could be another crisis in march. the senate anticipates doing a debate on immigration, which probably will include daca, next week. the disposition of that in the house of representatives is anybody's guess. here was something else that's important. the main part of this bill is that it lifts spending caps. in 2011, there was a massive fight on capitol hill dealing with raising the debt ceiling. the debt ceiling is the total amount of red ink that the federal government can carry at any one time. the problem there was that you had -- this was coming on the wave of where republicans had just one max control of the house

: the bill wish to call up the bill as amended. the clerk: h.r. 3397 a bill to direct the national science foundation to support stem education focused on early childhood. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california, mr. knight and the gentlewoman from texas, ms. johnson. the chair recognizes. mr. knight: i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to include extraneous material on the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. knight: i yield myself such time as i may consume. mr. speaker, thank you for the opportunity to speak on an important policy to improve our stem education. this is a bipartisan bill and i'm proud to sponsor and sets in with work force improvement legislation, the science committee has recently address to our stem work force. this is always an opportunity for good. expanding the reach of our stem education programs to children of all ages will improve more individuals with aptitude are engaged and a

this is a bipartisan bill. like leader schumer said, you get some things you like and give the other side things they ike. on the net, this is a very good solution. and as to the debt and deficit concerns, most of this domestic spending is one-time spending. it's hurricane relief. are we not going to rebuild houston or florida or help puerto rico or the fires in california? those are things that we have to do because our fellow citizens in these disaster-ravaged area need assistance and that is the proper role for the federal overnment. a lot of that is one-time spending. the other domestic spending is something we all agree on. we have an opioids crisis. let's fix it. we can get close on cancer research. getting some cures. let's keep that going. we want to get a good down payment on infrastructure. there's one more thing i'll say. i think this budget process is broken. here we are with another c.r., c.r., c.r., omnibus. that's why something we put in here that i feel passionate about is having a budget proces

this is a tremendous bill. again i thank ann wagner for her leadership and yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlelady from alabama reserves. the gentlelady from texas is recognized. ms. jackson lee: it gives me pleasure again to yield to representative carolyn maloney of new york, who joined with representative joyce beatty of ohio and the lead sponsor, congresswoman wagner, to be strong supporters of this legislation. minutes. her two she's an original co-sponsor of the bill. the chair: the gentlelady is recognized for two minutes. mrs. maloney: i thank the congresswoman lee for yielding and for her extraordinary leadership on this issue and so many other areas. i rise in strong, strong support of h.r. 1865. it is transformative legislation. it is important and it will save lives. it is an historic legislative achievement. and i thank my colleague, ann wagner, for her selfless, dedicated, effective leadership and-n bringing this bill to the floor. and my colleagues, joyce beatty and sheila ja

bill caruso is here democratic strategist and attorney. welcome, bill. good he sue. >> frank luna with us, the chief of staff. good you have. >> lisa, top culture expert. i think i will start with you. >> yeah. bill: first of all, the new jersey education association, i think should be ashamed and em bar are ad that the painted a flawed and false picture. they are not telling the truth to people. this was not about arming every teacher just throwing guns into school and thises with about having something on the national scale that nine states already do if you have a throughout car rain trained. you can kara gain gun free zone in a school. >> it is over today. oh my. well, i don't agree with you. first of all, the president, number 45, aka, donald trump said teachers should have guns. teacher should not be required to protect and serve and to teach. should they put the gown their side tissue about hardping our schools is a good debate. a discussion that should continue. i don't think giving teachers guns a smart move for variety of reasons but we have ri

we glum all the bills together in one bill like we've done tonight. republicans and democrats clasping hands. and nobody's going to look at it. nobody's going to reform the spending. as a consequence, wasteful spending is riddled throughout your government. only four times in 40 years have we done the appropriation process the way we're supposed to. recently they did a pentagon study. it's the beginning of an audited and they audited a part of the pentagon. this partial audit shows that $800 million was misplaced or lost. just $800 million. i don't think they actually put it in a closet and burned it, but they can't find it. awhile back they looked at some of the military expenditures and they had $29 billion worth of stuff they couldn't find. overall, the audit found that over $100 billion in waste was found at the pentagon. $100 billion. their budget is like $700 billion. you know, we're talking about a significant, over a 10%, you know, problem with figuring out waste. it doesn't get better because we don't vote on these things individually and don

no one has read the bill. digest thethoroughly bill overnight, and i do think that it does things we really, really ought to talk about, and how we should pay for them. one of the things it does is go back $500 billion in spending over a two-year period. this bill increases spending 21%. does that sound a large amount? anyone at home getting a bonus foreign increasing your paycheck of 21%? yet your government is going to spend 21% more without having a full debate or amendments. the exchange you watched with me having a 15 minute vote. i have been asking all week for it. we could have had dozens of votes today, but we squabbled because people don't want to be put on the spot. the reason i am here tonight is to put people on the spot. i want people to feel uncomfortable. i want people to have to answer people at home asking why were you against obama's deficits, but for republican's deficits? if you were against president obama's deficits, and for republican's deficits, is in that the very definition of hypocri

than having seven bills. the second part has a provision that would require background checks on all commercial sales. one of the big gaps in our background check system today is sales at gun shows and sales over the internet are not necessarily subject to a background check. we think they should be. they are essentially commercial in nature and they are on a scale that really matters. our bill would require those checks. we also have a number of provisions. >> do you have bipartisan support. >> yes it had 54 votes in 2014 and most of those 54 voters are still in office. >> so didn't have a lot of presidential backup? >> he wanted to go further. one is a list of ways in which a law-abiding citizen could have freedom to exercise the second amendment, allowing active duty military person to be able to buy a firearm. that's against the law. it shouldn't be. our bill would correct that. finally we would create a commission to look at the sources and causes of these terrible mass killings. >> what you doing in sch

law school and that is where she met bill. bill clinton met president kennedy in 1963, a few months before he was assassinated. was involved in lots of democratic initiatives all across the country, worked hard for george mcgovern, in arkansas, for j fulbright. he knew this was going to be the path he was going to take and gained a lot of experience before running for office. before the clintons were married, and bill was living he decided he would run for congress. he talked it over with the dean of the law school, who gave him his blessing. he decided to run against john paul hammerschmidt. he asked several other people to run against him, a popular republican in the third district. no one else wanted to do it. they wanted to run for other things. he decided, maybe it should be him. everyone thought he was fighting a losing battle, and he probably was and new it. he said, he didn't think it could hurt his options. that early campaign in 1974, he --t, that only by about 6000 but only about 6000 votes, pretty remarkable for a

they pay the bills. the vast majority of the chamber's $275 million per year budget comes from just a handful of donors. for instance, in 2014, just 119 donations accounted for over $160 million of the chamber's fund-raising haul. who are these donors? well, the chamber doesn't want you to know. it does all it can to resist transparency. but thanks to voluntary disclosures by some corporations and the tax filings of some nonprofit groups, we know that its donors include many of america's biggest corporations as well as political front groups run by the billionaire koch brothers and karl rove. the chamber took in at least $5.5 million from koch-backed groups between 2012 and 2014. a karl rove affiliated group gave the chamber $5.25 million in 2014 alone. it would be interesting to know how much of the karl rove money
