commonly do when the bill a bill passed and you didn't use any influence together. so absolutely none if this bill had gone through minister journalist could have been jailed for any article deemed threatening abusive or insulting and could have been hung if their work caused any loss of life what you didn't object to this bill that you ignored as if as to what what is called dodging of the penal power. the only thing you can do as president is refuse your asset so it's a lot the last blood being passed the blood what would not or did it but desire to keep the law is still going through the senate so how is that how did i just miss the president stopped it would have been accused of no dictatorship and muslim the you telling me you wouldn't have signed the law with that provision in it i think this you can tell me that caylee had been speculative you can tell us why when we went we get when we get that bridge right across it would look at what are the contents of that law in what form will it be passed but you see people rushed in order to history to judge to judge

now, that's problematic but that's the bill and the bill is problematic. buying a home is the biggest purchase most americans will make in their lifetime. while the study is fine give us more data, it does nothing to make mortgages more affordable or available for those consumers who desire home ownership. the underlying bill will make mortgages even more expensive for consumers and consumer credit more expensive for those that seek it. so with that i reserve the balance of my time. as i said, i am know opposed to this amendment, but more data is always useful. the chair: the gentleman from north carolina reserves. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. desaulnier: i agree and as a former small business owner i see the value of credit reports have done fairly and equitably. it should be balanced against the need for the lenders and the people who are seeking credit. in my area in northern california, i hear stories over and over again about people who are working two jobs and by no mistake of their own their credit report is not perfect. they don

this bill requires e.p.a. to immediately designate two pfas chemicals as hazardous substances under superfund. the two most studies of the pfas chemicals. and e.p.a. is committed to make this designation in their action plan last year, but has failed to fulfill that promise. the legislation requires that over a five-year period, e.p.a. review all other pfas chemicals and decide whether to lift them under superfund. during that five years, the bill will require comprehensive health testing of all pfas chemicals. this is a really important point. you may hear my colleagues talk today about the need to base decisions on science. and this bill will generate that science. the two chemicals will be regulated up front because we already have the science on them and other pfas will be regulated if over the next five years the science concludes that they're hazardous. the bill also includes a moratorium on any new pfas during that same five-year period. this will provide e.p.a. the time it needs to ensure it has enough

it's basically about blocking bills so, so called wrecking amendments that of the bill would be regarded undermine the purpose of the bill would be regarded as contrary to the convention. but making amendments, as the house of lords has often been described as the revising chamber, so inviting the commons to look at the amendments and consider improvements to the bill, is its corejob, really. so, when alf dubs says that his amendment does not stretch or defy the convention, then he is on solid ground there? i would say so, to invite the commons to think again, his amendment is to take out a clause in the bill which changes a provision which is already in law in the european withdrawal act 2018, so it is not a wrecking amendment. i think when it would get interesting is if the commons were to reject his amendment, assuming it gets passed before the bill goes back to the commons, then, and this is really nothing to do with the salisbury convention, but on the whole, having invited the elected chamber to think again, the house of lords has to think very carefully before fighting on any furt

that's what they'll to this afternoon, bill. >> bill:. thank you, chad. now with me dana perino. >> martha: great to be here. >> bill: what they're going back to, he must not remain in office one moment longer. probably because they're saying it's so urgent because the election 9 1/2 months away. >> right. this is also the criticism that republicans have had about nancy pelosi's strategy of delaying the impeachment articles from going to the senate for four weeks. if it was so urgent and the nation was under such threat that the president needed to be removed, why did they wait four weeks so it was politically advantageous to get it to the senate? the other thing, they're trying to make the case knowing they're not going to get the votes for the president's removal. what they're hoping to get is enough of this process point to matter in six months. i'm skeptical whether they would be the case. the other thing i noted, they spent a lot of time talking about joe biden and hunter biden and going through what they say there's evidence of no evidence of corrup

those bills, like so many bills we have seen in the past, are fundamentally connected to controlling bodies of all people. for example, some of these bills talk about how if any girl is ed as a girl, after bring in medical documentation of their internal and external reproductive organs, the chromosomes, and their naturally occurring hormone levels. that will be an unbelievable amount of policing of the bodies of all young women and girls. we are talking about legislation that will have a sweeping impact across the country, not just on trans young people, that any young person he does not fit in specific norms of gender. this is just the beginning of sessions, so i expect we will see a lot more. amy: what are the states to look at where these bills are being introduced? we are following south dakota closely. we have bills in kentucky and oklahoma and georgia and washington and tennessee, indiana, new hampshire. i expect we are going to see more -- arizona has a few bills pending. every state is on a different timeline in terms of how ugly these things will move. i think whatever happ

my bill will ensure that the u.s. maintains and in some cases increases leadership at the international standards setting bodies. specifically it creates an international orking group to provide assistance and technical expertise to enhance our representation leadership on these bodies. additionally, my bill will create strategies for increasing engagement with our ally partners and the private sectors. these strategies will help increase the united states' leadership in the global race to develop and deploy 5-g and future generations of mobile telecommunication systems and infrastructure. finally, my bill will provide an assessment of chinese activities at those international bodies. this assessment will help us to ensure the standards setting bodies are not unduly influenced to adopt standards that unfairly advantage communist party of china, second and supported companies like huawei. china seeks to control critical industries and infrastructure by making them reliant on chinese technologies. these chinese companie

bill. president trump promised to deliver a trade agreement with canada and mexico to reflect the realities of the 21st amendment. he made this an issue in his campaign so i suppose this has been an issue that has been around now for three years. he promised it would command broad support and i think he has delivered the house voted overwhelmingly in a bipartisan way support of the usmca bill and now the senate must act i am confident the bill will make it to the president's desk. usmca will bring a real benefit to america's farmers and workers and businesses that farmers badly need and with those manufacturing industries. to reflect the realities including for the one and three tenths digital economy usmca corrects the enforcement clause that plagues nafta to ensure the parties will be held accountable to their commitments the usmca has support of hundreds of organizations and agriculture groups and labor groups i would like to enter into the record of this support without objection the ro

to close that gap we would have to bill billed 180,000 homes a year but instead we are building close to 100,000 homes. the state already has annual building requirements known as the regional housing needs allocation or rhna. sb 50 would be added on top of that. san francisco hit 100% of its goal of building market rate housing this past year but it built less than 30% of the affordable housing it was required to create. oakland built 200% of its market rate housing. at only 25% of the required low buildings of more than 350 units to include 25% of its units for affordable housing. but developers can also pay a fee to the city to avoid building those units themselves. >> we can only build a single- family homes that is a ban on affordable housing. you have to have multiunit to have low income housing. we are opening up an enormous amount of land for affordable housing and apartment buildings. >> rerte bill would allow for building on vacant land and allow single-family homes to be turned into four plexus. new amendments would give cities two years to come up with their own way to bui

we still have the agriculture bill in the fisheries bill and the environment bills to follow, and i'md the government has accepted that they were right on the previous agriculture bill when we argued repeatedly that we need long—term funding for direct payments and that is not materialised in the bills that have been published. these bills form the framework for fishing and farming in the environment for the next 30 years. they come as the planet is on fire, our nation is plunging deeper into climate crisis and every one of these bills needs to be an opportunity to protect our planet for the future, to cut carbon in bolder and faster ways and ensure climate justice walked hand—in—hand with social justice so that no one is left behind, whether in towns and cities, coastal or rural communities, and every of these bills falls short. it is great to have continuity. a conservative who chaired the environment committee in the last parliament had some questions about the new arrangements. i want to go back to the point the honourable gentleman mage now but the value of the payment because at
