historically the farm bill has been a bipartisan bill and indeed i believe chairwoman of the agriculture committee stabenow stated we are attempting to pass the farm bill with bipartisan support. the new chairman of the house agriculture committee congressman thompson has stated he hopes it will be a bipartisan package so it's no surprise the task force at the bipartisan policy center are encouraged by the statements but we also realize that divided congress challenges will lie ahead. the challenge may be made more difficult when we note that on the spending side of the equation nearly 80% of the farm bill's expenditures are devoted to the nutrition title so we are pleased to begin our discussion today with staff from the nutrition subcommittees from the senate and house agriculture committee and both majority and minority or delete this discussion we are fortunate to have the editor-in-chief of food fix an on line publication. food policy in washington and beyond and senior reporter and "politico" brushy covered the intersection of food policy and politics. before you turn this over to

they passed a bill called the infrastructure bill. what were those bills and some of the others from the last congress in they were the green new deal. you, the american public, you know, you know now what the green new deal will do to you. let's talk about my district a little bit. propane, a primary heating source for many of us in wisconsin, we paid 80 cents a gallon in summer of 2000 to fill our tanks we paid 2 1/2 times as much just a couple of years after the previous administration has left office. think about the ford motor company, iconic company here in america. lost $2 billion on their electric vehicle segment of their business. i can tell you, contractors, loggers, farmers, they're not going to drive a ford lightning in northern wisconsin when it's 25 below because it does not work. i think about bilas county where they were going to apply to repair a road under the infrastructure bill. $1.5 billion using federal money. talked to a local contractor. without the federal permitting requirements they could build it for half o

crime bill. if he didn't do it he would own every murder in the district between now and election day. he is talking about restoring family detentions at the border trying to shore up his vulnerability on the border and now trying to shore up his vulnerabilities on oil and gas by approving this project. it doesn't wipe out all the other things he has done to launch a war on fossil fuels but taking steps to point to things he has done to say i'm addressing those problems so voters can be neutralized. >> bill: secretary of energy jennifer granholm talking about the energy programs in beijing specific question after you hear it. >> i think china has done -- has been very sensitive and has actually invested a lot in their solutions to achieve their goals. so we're hopeful that we can all learn from what china is doing but the amount of money they are investing in clean energy is actually encouraging. >> bill: can you verify any of what was said especially toward the end about what they are investing

so these bills are really necessary, but i would also add to that aiocoa is a bill that i think a lotf the hard work into the sponsors today a lot of hard work to future proof the bill so it is specific enough that it gives guidance to the agencies and the courts but also leaves room to adapt to future conditions. >> from the senator of minnesota that has lead this charge and a revitalized this issue with the antitrust debate to a level that i've not seen in many years and i think it is long overdue and at the challenge for us is to make sure that there is an agency with the authority of the resources into the political support to get the job done. >> a very good. thank you, senator and i would note through the work of senator grassley and senator lee last year, the bill that passed with the ada to senators along with senator lee is going to amount to a billion dollars to these agencies as professor francis and i agree on this on the resources. that is a significant increase. what we would like to see more is a significant increase not on the back of taxpayers to help these agencies t

the inflation reduction act is a clean energy bill and it looks like it is. >> bill: what this remindss of is the american rescue plan in march of 2021, 1.9 trillion and passed it and said to the cities and counties and states across the country, do with it as you see best. >> i would say that is the origins of 40-year high inflation. the mistakes of keeping interest rates at 0 for 15 years and 11 month period go from 0 to 5%, what a shock to companies. it will continue to reverberate. that added to the fact that the democrats kept spending $5 trillion if borrowing in two years, that's why we had 40-year high inflation. the debt impact will continue. there is a trillion dollars going to mature on corporate balance sheets this year and those companies were paying something like 4%. now pay 8 and 9%. some of those companies won't be able to do it and we'll see bankruptcies this year. >> jacque: i feel like build back better was going nowhere until manchin said we can do the bill inflation reduction act. if you don't get permitting reform at the front end you won't get it on the back end.

lawler coming up with this bipartisan bill and i support this bill and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from missouri is recognized. mrs. wagner: i continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: thank you. the gentlewoman from missouri reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. meeks: i yield three minutes to my friend the gentleman from virginia, representative connolly. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr.connolly: i thank my dear friend, the former chair and now ranking member of the foreign affairs committee for his leadership and friendship and i thank my dear friend, congresswoman wagner who served america in many roles and i thank her for her leadership and today's legislation, a bipartisan piece of legislation that is very timely and very important. this legislation provides an update to the taiwan assurance act, which i was proud to support in 2020 to underscore the support for taiwan. the key piece of legislation congress initiated back in 1979 is as c

this bill -- intolerable. this bill is needed. this bill gives parents the right to know what their child is being taught. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentlewoman from indiana. ms. houchin: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: reserves. the gentlewoman from pennsylvania is recognized. ms. scanlon: thank you. i'd like to ask unanimous consent to enter a letter from the american library association opposing.r. 5, saying that the bill would create a catalyst for more book banning and censorship. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. scanlon: thank you. mr. speaker, i'd like to yield 3 1/2 minutes to the gentleman from massachusetts the distinguished ranking member o the committee on rules, mr. mcgovern. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mcgovern: so let me get something straight her republicans keep saying, as they st did, that nothing i this bill has anything to do with banning books. we keep hearing it over and over and over. we've heard the same thing in st

chairman, here's the truth about this bill. this bill will not ban any books. i repeat, this bill will not ban any books. what's dangerous right now is when people misrepresent what is in legislation before us. i now yield four minutes to my distinguished colleague, the chair of the higher education, workforce development subcommittee, mr. owens, the gentleman from utah. the chair: the gentleman from utah is recognized for four minutes. mr. owens: thank you, ms. chair. i rise in support of h.r. 5, the parents bill of rights. and as a father of six children and grandfather of 16 children, and i am the son of two educators. i know from experience that students succeed when parents and educators work together. between crippling learning loss, school closures and now teacher strikes, our kids have been through enough. they don't stand a chance if parents are kicked out of the driver's seat. moms and dads are the primary stakeholders in the child's education, not the government. period. they have a god-given right to be involved in their child's educational developm

we made a commitment to america that we would bring a milestone bill, the parents bill of rights and that is what today is all about. it's about every parent, every mom and dad but most importantly about the students in america today. it's pretty straightforward. we believe the bills foundation is five pillars and today when you introduce a bill it's also given a number and in the majority you're able to reserve. this is hr five, for a very important reason. when you turn about five is when you start going to kindergarten. you start your education but this will kind of sits on five main pillars. the right to know what's being taught in the school and for you to be able to see the reading materials. the right to be heard. so many times across the nation we found that parents were attacked, called terrorists. they simply wanted to go to a school board meeting to be heard about what's going on. the ride to the school budgets and how they spend their money, the right to protect your child's privacy. and of the right to be updated on any violent activity at the school. these are pretty ba

it has been an incredible story all week. >> bill: sure has. i'm bill hemmer on friday. two other americans who survived returned to the u.s. tuesday. now there is an apology. the mexican cartel blamed for that attack apparently condemning the violence handing over five of their own gang members along with a letter saying they broke the rules. lawmakers on the hill demanding answers and action calling for a crackdown on the cartels and a secure border. something that cannot come soon enough for all the folks who live there. >> we see the violence that the cartels bring along. we see what they do to the people that they are trafficking into america, how they enslave them in the sex trade and how the treat these people and leave them for dead in the deserts. we need to pick up the pieces of those families who lose loved ones to fentanyl poisoning. >> dana: mexico's president obrador rejecting claims that mexican drug traffickers are responsible for the fentanyl in the u.s. and saying it is u.s. problem. not mexico's. >> bill: bill melugin back at his post in brownsville, t

' bill of rights.hen i was first elected to congress, i wanted to be on the education and work force committee because education was so important in my life and my parents' advocacy to ensure that i had the best quality education, were it not for that, i would not have had the opportunity to serve my district in upstate new york. and speaker mccarthy is right. there is nothing more life-changing than becoming a parent. i am the proud mom of sam, as kevin mentioned, sam is 18 months, so i'm the newest mom in congress and we are proud to be standing up for families, for parents, grand parents, most importantly for kids across this country. so thank you to julia letlow for introducing this bill. we're excited in this house republican majority that we will pass this bill. and a thank you to my colleague, chairwoman virginia foxx, who has been such a leader on this issue as well. mr. mccarthy: let's turn to our chairwoman, virginia foxx, who education has been her life. she comes here as a former president

this is the parents bill of rights. it's knocking down, what the biden administration, that wants washington to control all. it was the doj to go after parents at school board meetings. this is opening up the schools to the parents. >> thank you. what you say who critics who say it could open the door to bullying and unfair treatment of children who are different? trans children? what do you say about some of the instances at school board meetings, that could be perceived as violent and frightening for people who work on the school board? >> it wasn't violet when a father went to loudoun county, when her daughter was molested by a boy in a girls bathroom wearing a skirt that day. back to the school board, we wondered what transpired from that time? he was violently arrested. we have now had an investigation and finally we got rid of the superintendent that violently did that to a parent. for those concerned about bullying, they should celebrate this bill. now you will know if there is any violent activity on your campus

and i oppose this bill because this bill does not protect those workers. i urge my colleagues to do the same, oppose this bill. thank you and i yield back. the chair: the gentlewoman yields. the gentleman from south carolina is recognized. mr. duncan: mr. chairman, glad to have the author of the bill on the floor, mr. scalise. but i want to yield three minutes to the gentlelady from west virginia, my guardian angel, mrs. miller. the chair: the gentlelady from west virginia is recognized. mrs. miller: thank you, mr. speaker. president biden's threat to veto h.r. 1 tells everything we need to know about the bill. it will unleash american energy and bring down energy costs. h.r. 1, the lower energy cost act, is about increasing domestic production, permitting reform, streamlining energy exports, and reversing president biden's anti-energy agenda. in the first week of joe biden's presidency, he stopped american energy production by halting needed permits for the energy production and shutting down the keystone pipeline, also sending home 300 west virginians wh

bill, hello. >> bill: bill, we are learning of a horrible tragedy, an innocent texas grandma and her young daughter were killed after their car was crashed into by a human smuggler. this is 71-year-old maria tambunga and her granddaughter. they are from ozona, in texas. they are both deceased after they were crashed into by a human smuggler fleeing from police, who ran a red light. two illegal immigrants also died as a result of the crash. the human smuggler, from louisiana, his actions have caused the deaths of four people, including two innocent americans. texas congressman tony gonzales outraged tweeting, on monday in ozona, a grandmother and her granddaughter were killed in a crash. illegal immigration is killing americans, stop with the rhetoric and deliver solutions. human smuggling is rampant at the southern board. this is douglas, arizona, border patrol stopping this vehicle and finding 13 illegal immigrants inside dressed in camouflage, including two small children crammed into the cab of the vehicle. extremely dangerous and another significant fentanyl bust. take a look at

back on monday in mission, texas, bill melugin has the story there. hello. >> bill, good morning. that's right. the gulf cartel runs the human smuggling stash houses throughout the rio grande valley and we were with texas dps troopers as they busted one of them in palm view ten minutes away from where i'm standing right now. troopers and border patrol found eight illegal immigrants held inside this stash house including a 15-year-old girl. you will see in the video some wearing the cartel wrist bands we see here indicating they've paid a cartel to be crossed illegally into the united states. some of those migrants telling us they paid $1500 to do so. that house had deplorable conditions, no running water and the cartels will hold these migrants in the stash houses before they move them deeper into the united states. take a look at this video. with texas dps in the rgb as they arrested the drug smuggler from mexico. part of a group tracking on cameras as they were moving five bundles of marijuana into the country. they recovered all five of those bundles, 137 pounds of marijuana. y

bill and later used the post 9/11 bill. veterans may choose between the mgib and post-9/11 bill both of which helped paid for their education. montgomery bill requires 12 months. the quirk is that $1200 is refunded to servicemembers only as an attachment to their housing allowance. for veterans who don't receive a housing allowance, they haven't been receiving the $1200 they are entitled to. this is a complicated issue that no one intended to happen but it directs the payment before the service member exhausts their assistance. i appreciate the support of this bill. i hope the house will support it today so we can fix this problem and do something important to help our veterans. i yield back. mr. takano: i have no further speakers and am prepared to close. i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time the gentleman reserves. excuse me. mr. bost: i'm ready to close as well. the speaker pro tempore: frasm california is recognized. mr. takano: i ask my colleagues to join me in passing h.

first let's go to bill melugin reporting from farr, texas, hope i got that right, bill. >> bill: you did, dana. according to a spokesperson with the house homeland security committee, prior to democrats deciding to pull out of today's border hearing, several of them said they would be here, booked travel here and called their own minority witness to testify and we are told their witness will still be testifying today even without them. the republican chairman of the committee, mark green, got to rio grande valley and posted a video to democrats saying they are failing to do their job. take a look. >> we're talking about how awesome border patrol agents are, democrats decided to bail and not show up for work, this is where the duty is today and tomorrow, they're absent from duty. in the army we call that awol. democrats will be awol tomorrow. >> bill: bizarre and dangerous human smuggling continue at the southern border. take a look out of tucson, arizona, sector, agents stopped a truck and found three illegal immigrants locked inside of a tool box being smuggled inside that tool box.

that's exactly what this bill does. we made it h.r. 1 because we care not just about the american family to let them have more cash in their own pocket but make their energy costs lower. lower the global emissions. and make the world safer. [applause] by doing so china will no longer dictate when it comes to critical minerals. the president signs this bill, we'll produce them here in america. no longer will -- [applause] no longer will the governor of california buy oil from putin. he can actually buy it in his home state because we can produce what god has blessed us here in america. we can produce our own energy, all of the above, here in america. no longer will we have to fear about what will happen in the environment. american natural gas is 40% cleaner than russian natural gas. if you just replaced one year of the russian natural gas to europe, we would have lowered emissions by 218 million tons. and that can take place if the president would sign this bill. [applause] we're less than 100 days from coming into the

bill melugin live for more on this today. hello, bill. >> bill: bill, good morning, that is right. fox news spoke to the migrants involved in the ush are at the border and they told us it stemmed from a facebook post that went viral among the migrants that promised them they would be let into the country if they showed up at the bridge. show this video, exclusive fox news video from juarez, you see hundreds of migrants pushing past border guards and running to the bridge. a lot of them are cheering and sound excited and jubilent. they think they will run across that bridge and get into the united states. they were blocked by cbp and the mexican military. it was a facebook post and they shared the post with us, if we can pull that up. it is in spanish. it essentially says it claims to be from somebody who crossed two days prior and that person claims cbp told them they will let any migrant that shows up on sunday with a child or with an extreme asylum case and tells migrants, do not miss this opportunity, travel to the border right now. one migrant caught up in the rush tells us tha

. >> bill: second hour starts now, i'm bill hemmer. that incident is first time since the cold war a u.s. aircraft went down after encountering a russ ian aircraf. the white house pins the blame on moscow. >> the message that we delivered to the russian ambassador is they need to be more careful flying in international airspace near u.s. assets that are flying in legal ways conducting missions in support of our national security interest, they need to be more careful. >> bill: senator mike tobin stands by. mike. >> the u.s. called this incident everything from dangerous to juvenile, it happened yesterday morning 7 a.m. local time. two russian fighter jets, su-27 fighters went to a u.s. drone over the black sea. the pentagon says the fighter jets harassed the drone, buzzing dangerously close to the drone and one fighter dumped fuel on the drone and during one pass the russian fighter struck the propeller of the drone, breaking off a piece. the drone was unmanageable and the decision was made to ditch that aircraft in the black sea. with

i'm bill hemmer. thanks for being with us today. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." our shot is coming in hot. we had the job numbers. the u.s. added 311,000 jobs last month. analysts expected 200,000. unemployment 3.6%. >> bill: the fed was viewing this report as a barometer for future rate hikes. the strong number suggesting we have a long way to go to tamp down inflation. >> dana: nothing to dissuade president biden from more big spending. he unveiled his election budget, $6.8 trillion. >> bill: more of a campaign stunt than serious proposal. republicans call it dead on arrival. the president begs to differ. >> dana: team fox coverage an all list from james freeman at the "wall street journal." edward lawrence has the latest on the job numbers. good morning. >> those jobs numbers beat expectations. unemployment rate went up to 3.6 pers percent mainly because more people became unemployed than moved into a job. the people who were unemployed lost a job or finished temporary w

>> bill: yes, i do.na: harris faulkner is up next. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. at any moment we expect to hear from the president of the united states for the first time since the nation started seeing the details about the biden family finances and all of those sketchy business deals with china. it's evidence republicans have been after for two years and it may be just the tip of the iceberg we're learning. subpoenaed financial records show money from a chinese energy company was funneled to family members of joe biden. a lo

the bill is a simple as the title. if y you go to jail for hijackig someone's car, you should serve your entire sentence, not get time off for suppose that good behavior. so, if president biden and congressional democrats are committed to getting tough on carjackers not just here in washington, d.c. where they drive around a lot, then they sued to support this effort. >> now, i know that some defenders of the first act will say yes, they should get out of jail early. etthese criminals welcome after all, get out of jail one dayor r so the argument goes. so shouldn't we rehabilitate them by rewarding them and encouraging their good behavior? to which i answered, sure, we can reward good behavior for carjackers inge prison. we can encourage good behavior, but we shouldn't reword it in a way that endangers the public. and letting dangerous criminals out of jail early endangers the public. if the members of the senate are truly concerned for rewarding good behavior, we could offer well-behaved inmates and other incentives c

jackson lee: this bill does not deal with free speech but a gotcha bill and ask in a coordinated matter discuss the important issues of the day that need addressing. we will do the debt ceiling in months to come. but we should protect the first amendment and give freedom of speech and what they hear. if they join me on that, i welcome their support. we can hear and we can speak. that is important. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. comer: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from south carolina mr. friday. mr. fry: -- fry. i thank chairman comer and bringing this issue to the floor. thanks to the hard work, house republicans have opened the transparency floodgates shedding light on this administration working against the american people. because of this work, the house committee has deduced they are using their position of authority to censor americans. this is a plate ant threat to every single american's first amendment right. the federal government shouldn't knit pick or voicing their opinions. our government, mr. speaker,

bill is. this bill is designed to stop crime.and months following uvalde there has been a talking point raised by the left on twitter and the governments go from the senator from connecticut. that says we don't want more police because the police to stop these crimes. and the point to uvalde. having been in uvalde after the shooting but the police officers did there was tragic. hundreds of officers showed up at that school and one hour 40 minutes they did nothing. they did not go in and take out the shooter. even as shots rang out repeatedly even as children were calling 911 begging for help. over an hour they did not go in. i agree the conduct of law enforcement that day was inexplicable and indefensible. and when i went to uvalde immediately after the shooting senior law enforcement in uvalde sat in the room and lied to me and john cornyn and governor abbott about what happened. the story they described was utterly t false as would come out in the days that followed. one of the things theyo claimed officer was there when the sh

in september i introduced this bill as well it is a one-page bill, very simple. if they want to use the money to hire a police officer the school can do so. if the school wants to use some of that money to enhance their physical security, the school can do so and it gives flexibility to the schools. i don't know how a democratic senator goes home to your state. i don't how you go home to connecticut or new jersey or michigan or look in the eyes of a superintendent, look in the eyes of a teacher and say no i will not let you spend the money on school security. let me be clear this would have passed. two words uttered by the senator of connecticut, i object. last time he went on a discourse about how this wasn't the full legislative process that we hadn't negotiated with him and goodness that must be comfort to the parents thatha are scared at home thatd we sat there in a negotiation. every year this body passes bil. after bill by unanimous consent. every senator here knows how to do that. it's only and not real because the democrats are objecting because they are

this bill does the opposite. in addition to shorten public comment periods, it would block lawsuits from anyone who didn't participate in the comment period. communities likely don't know what projects are communities likely don't know about them until after the comment periods. the responsibility should be on developers to win support through meaningful public engagement. instead, this bill puts the burden on ordinary, hardworking americans to fight for their basic right to clean air and water. i urge my colleagues to do what is right and put our families, our children over corporate profits. i yield back. mr. larsen: reserve. the chair: the gentleman from washington reserves. the gentleman from north carolina is recognized. >> mr. chairman, i yield myself such time as i may consume and if i can ask, how much time is remaining on this side? the chair: the gentleman has eight minutes remaining. the gentleman from washington has 7 1/2 minutes remaining. >> that being the case, i yield myself such time as i may con

transparency bills. we have a education rights or private rights. the school districts, school staff are misrepresenting. i can't tell you the information about your child's student record appeared something that is important -- yes, there's this bill on the floor up with our existing federal laws and parental rights provisions and we need to make sure parents are aware of those. host: the states that have state laws and parental bills come but they generally do better on test scores than states that do not perform them? guest: florida is one of those that has a parent's bill of rights and education bill that passed and goes by another name, that passed last year. florida is faring well compared to other states when you look at those new scores. host: on the state efforts, does it go back a year? what was one of the first days? guest: i am actually a school choice advocate historically. i like many parents in the last few years, i would recommend people go to a organization that has a map and a list of t

what is this mean for the bills what does this mean for the bill we are discussing today? right now companies that seek to compete against today's dominant platforms or offer services through them will have an enormous incentive to focus their efforts in europe where they can bring new services,, innovations and lower prices to european consumers witheu these changes in thehe laws that give them more access, control and innovative ability. american businesses and consumers will be able to read about these innovations but they will need to go and launch a product in europe themselves or visit on vacation to the experience of those products. the united states will miss out on opportunities to lead the world in tech sector innovation and experience the benefits that that innovation can deliver. thank you. >> thank you very, very much. next up, chris lewis. thank you. >> thank you chair klobuchar, and ranking member lee for invitation to testify today. public knowledge is a nonprofit digital rights organization whose mission is to fight for an open internet, , free expression

the 2023 farm bill. last week our hearing, the farm safety net. today, our fifth farm hearing covers the family safety net. these critical programs help people afford their groceries, make healthier choices, find work, benefit farmers, and our entire food economy. and they live to millions of americans out of poverty. the supplemental nutritional assistance program, or snap, helps more than 40 million children, seniors, working adults, veterans, people with disabilities, to buy food to feed their families. these are our friends, our neighbors, relatives who deserve to be able to put food on the table even when they are going through a hard time. like the single mom of two in macomb county who just lost her job and doesn't know how she will pay for rent and feed her kids. or the retired couple in gladwin, michigan who lives on a fixed income and worries about covering the cost of their medication and a healthy diet they need to manage their diabetes. snap reduces food insecurity by 30% and it provides nee
