on both sides of the aisle and trying to get co-sponsorship for my bill, people are reticent to co-sponsor my bill because they say if somebody is serving in the military, they should be able to smoke and people over 18 can serve in the military. when i was listening to your testimony, dr. norman, i thought you would be the perfect person to give the answer to that. so what's the answer to that? >> i don't think we should allow smoking anywhere, but that's a public health expert talking. >> right. >> the military has a long history of even supporting smoking, to be honest, way back into the days when it was in c rations. and they're available, nicotine and all products are available at very low cost. i think we need to accelerate the smoking cessation. >> do you think that's a good idea that we're making that available to the military? >> no, i don't -- there's nothing that would support that from a public health perspective. >> you said you think it's a good idea to raise the smoking age to 21. >> yes. >> do you think that includes the military? >> yes, ma'am. >> that's because of the risk to public health, is that right? >> yes. >> now,

in hong kong. so passage of this legislation is long overdue. my house bill co-sponsored by my good friend and colleague jim mcgovern of massachusetts and 46 others bipartisan co-sponsors passed last month on act 15. today we consider a final bill derived from working with our colleagues in the united states senate. specifically the act directs the secretary of state to report and certify to congress annually whether hong kong continues to deserve special treatment under u.s. law. different from mainland china in such matters as trade, customs, sanctions enforcement, law enforcement cooperation, and protection of human rights and the rule of law. it directs the state department not to deny entry visas, based primarily on the applicant's arrest or detention for participating in nonviolent protest activities in hong kong. it requires for the next seven years an annual report from the commerce department on whether hong kong government adequately enforces u.s. export controls and sanctions laws, including on those goods and services shipped to north korea, iran and

in the united states. and this wildly supported bipartisan bill has gathered 287 hasponsors a companion bill been introduced in the senate as well. this is the largest number of co-sponsors for any ocean conservation bill so far in this congress. i want to thank my good friend and the distinguished member from texas, the honorable michael mccaul, who has worked tirelessly with me on the bill and brings with him the support of 68 members from his side of the aisle. this bill has such strong support because it represents an effective way to remove the united states from the devastation -- devastating global trade in shark fins. at zero cost. and because it does so without stopping those who want to fish for sharks and use them for their meat. mr. speaker, sharks are absolutely critical to life in the ocean. as apex predators, they help maintain balance by keeping prey populations in check. they are also critical to the economy of our coastal communities. in florida alone, tourists go diving to see sharks generate more than 200 times the value of the trade in shark fins for our entire country. 200 times the value. despite their importance economically sharks are in

in education. he's the state superintendent and co-sponsored the bill. think, "this just isn't something we should be talking to teachers about," what do you say to that? tony: when i read that there's a higher rate of suicide for students who identify as lgbtq, i knew that this was the right thing to do. if this can save a life, then we should do it. i understand that it may not be popular. i understand that it may even be controversial but, as educators, we have a responsibility to do all that we can to support the wellbeing of our students. bigad: this was thurmond's second attempt to expand training for educators. last year, as a state lawmaker in the assembly, he pushed a similar bill that passed in the legislature. but then-governor jerry brown vetoed the plan, saying in part, "if local schools find that more training or resources on this topic is needed, they have the flexibility to use their resources as they see best." chris van schaack: you know, i think that's dangerous. bigad: dangerous? chris van schaack: yeah, we need to be aware of the cha

feet at dock 72 building at navy yard in new york city, the owner of dock 72, investor in wework, co-chairman billl, how interesting that wework has all that space in your relatively new development dock 72, are they going to keep their commitment and still stay there? >> we believe they are, but to clarify, recent development is partner with boston properties, we work with wework, project started in 2017, so we just opened it up a few weeks ago and, yes, we work as moving members in as we speak, we are about to complete all of the amenities that we've included in this building, a health center, a conference center, a food hall run by danny meyers, all the things that companies want to have as they are looking to move their spaces and to attract talent, it's all about talent war going on and you have to have these type of amenities and this building really is the building of the future and it was a collaborative effort, bill brad, former police commission wrote a book collaborative or perish and this is really about innovation and the building is really a hot bed for collaboration and innovation a

co conservators. we have another bill that was mitted in the last legislative cycle supported with csac and to request state funding for the county operations of the programs. and there is not a home for the office of the public conservator at the state level which is unusual for programs we operate locally and that's because there is no dedicated funding for the public concouldn' conservator p. part of the budget proposal that is going forward is that the association would assist the state with data collection efforts moving forward and i wanted to highlight that proposal because i think any support we can provide would be really helpful. i think it's a very important proposal. so again, this was a survey that we did, a point in time survey, and i'm grateful they accepted the information we provided and we have saved these caseload standards through inquiry to colleagues. i will tell you that some of my colleagues are concerned about having their caseload numbers published. it is public information. but the concern, because there's a lot of attention and a lot of messages around caseload size and so,

objection. >> i'm also the choral sponsor of the bill of the co alert act and i look very favorably to support hr 4300 as well. so after my discussions in my state about the need of affordable housing we need to pass the credit improvement act and should expect one - - expand the tax credit by more than 50 percent. and i have to say thank you so much for putting into perspective the distinction with the tax credit that everything has to work in conjunction but what i find after talking to so many stakeholders there isn't one single financing piece that you have to cobble it together working with local government and the private sector to get it done and it requires stakeholders coming together to make that happen so i appreciate the conversation today. thank you for being here following up on what senator tester said about indian country i attended a hearing just recently on mortgage lending in the native american communities and with the importance of manufactured homes as the affordable is sometimes the only option for tribal lands. can you please speak to the quality of manufactured homes cracks without quality and durability talk ab

in the united states. that's why i've co-sponsored senator menendez's bill to establish the smithsonian latino museum. there was also one that provides an additional $1.5 million for the latino center and expands programs for existing museums. if the final bill includes that increase, what do you plan to the with the additional funding and more broadly, what steps are you taking to ensure that the smithsonian is including the latino experience in all the museums? >> one of the things i'm proudest of is the fact we've created the latino center. it's transformed the smithsonian. as you know, the real power in the smithsonian museum directors or secretaries is curators. it's people who do the research and bring in the collections. and what the latino center allowed us to do is embed curators who have that expertise. so one, we want to build on that. and that my sense is that any support we get will allow us to continue to hire people will help the center do its work, but also as you know, one of the things that's really important for us is that the latino center is now following the pattern that we did a

later, microsoft co-founder bill gates joins us from the bloomberg new economy forum in beijing.ear his thoughts on artificial intelligence. a♪ taylor: the chairman of europe's largest bank, santander, ana botin, has said that, in the past, there is a discrepancy between regulatory restrictions. she sat down with erik schatzker tuesday for an exclusive interview to discuss her views on regulating and partnering with tech companies. ana: what is a bank? what is a bank? does a bank just take deposits and make loans? of course. but we do payments. we have always -- my strategy since i have arrived is to be a responsible bank and grow loyal customers. loyal customers -- if i asked you, erik, you will have one bank in your head, even though you might have five accounts. is that true? erik: that's true. ana: so you are like 99% of americans and most people around the planet. for that to be the case, i need to know you, and that is based on data. my question to you is, why should data be regulated -- now i am talking about europe -- in a different way if you're called a bank or somethin

in addition, about half of all electric co-ops also borrow private cooperative banks like cfc and co-bank. the farm bill reauthorized and maintained these important programs which gives us healthy options for financing the work we do. in addition to our work, cooperatives play a vital development role in the communities we serve. since 2009, mississippi co-ops have conducted around $25 million in rural economic development loan and grant or red leg projects. we blaef it elieve it remains a tool across the country. the recent farm bill includes needed changes to the red leg program to provide secure funding into the future. in the 21st century, there's perhaps no more important rule development challenge than providing broadband internet. in sparsely populated areas is very costly. so much so, most of our members are lagging their urban counterparts. my co-op recently approved a plan to bridge that digital dwad by offering fiber to the home broadband with us to gigabyte speeds to 100% of our members. we're enthusiastic about the farm bill's inclusion for rural broadband. building on the usda reconnect pi

make decisions for any bill or any piece of legislation, i do so based on the bill that comes in front of us. so even if i've co-sponsored legislation and somebody came along and it's changed to such a point, it wasn't what it started as, i would vote against that bill because i am -- i am deeply troubled by the idea that we can't get along as communities, that somehow our political affiliation should take precedence over our relationships in our communities and i ran for this office proud and honored to serve everyone in this district, every single person, regardless of background, regardless of political affiliation. our office is here to help and sometimes that means we're going to disagree and that's okay, too. we want to hear from you. and when we're looking at everything that comes in front of us, my top priority is upholding my oath to protect and defend the constitution, to ensure that i am being thoughtful and that we are taking each thing as it comes. and that is a commitment that i will make to each and every one of you as we move forward with all of the questions that are facing us. the reason i spe

kamala harris has introduced a bill that would provide funding to extend the school day by three hours in hundreds of schools across the country. the proposal has been co-sponsored by five other senators and the goal is to align school schedules with work schedules to lower child care costs. >>> police in columbus, ohio, say a 6-year-old boy brought a loaded semiautomatic handgun to school and another child saw it in the boy's backpack and told school staffers. it belongs to the boy's grandfather. for now police say they are not pressing charges. >>> unfortunately with a child of 6 years of age in the first grade, criminal intent is hard to articulate. in this case it follows that exact same pattern. we really don't know why the kid brought the gun to school other than show and tell or bragging or showing off. >> police praised the child who alerted school staffers following the rule of see something, say something. >>> police in alabama have released surveillance video of a person of interest in the search for a missing college student. the man was seen in the same surveillance store that 19-year-old aniah blanchard visited two weeks ago, the last tim

from the white house, because donald trump in that call tried to get the ukrainian officials to get into contact with thejustice department and co—operate with billolton, we know he left the trump administration at odds with the president over policy, but where does he fit in the equation with this impeachment inquiry? well, it would certainly be an interesting witness, because as national security adviser, he was directly communicating with the president, we know from other testimony, that he did have a severe disagreement over what was going on in the white house. he did not want to see military aid held up to ukraine, and if it was for political purposes, he had an objection to that. now, whether he would be a compelling witness once he got in front of congressional investigators, that's another question. and what democrats have said so far is that they are not willing to turn this into a protracted court battle that their timeline for the impeachment inquiry would not allow months to go by as they litigate this interview it, and subsequently appeal it again. they would much ratherjust say, ok, he does want to talk, this is more example of the

ceos of jp morgan and twitter, now bill gates is taking on elizabeth warren, this time over her proposed wealth tax. the microsoft co-founder speaking at an event ind there should be a limit on how much rich people should have to pay. gates saying he's paid more than $10 billion in taxes, more than anyone else. he says if he had to pay $20 billion, it's fine, but he says if it's $100 billion and he has to do a little math about what he has left over, adding that he's just kidding. warren responded to the comments, tweeting, i'm always happy to meet with people even if we have different views. bill gates, if we get the chance, i would love to explain exactly how much you would pay under my wealth tax. i promise it's not $100 billion. warren is proposing to tax billionaires 6% to cover the cost of the medicare for all plan. lauren: do they sit down? something tells me probably not. then you have this, squad member alexandria ocasio-cortez joining warren's fight with jp morgan's ceo, jamie dimon. aoc tweeting this, the billionaires are asking for a safe space in addition to the entire u.s. economy and political lobbying industry. yesterday, dimon sai

in the time that i have with you, you were one of the lead co-sponsors of a bill that would help secureas for syrian kurds. why did you want to do that? where do you think it will go from here. >> i sponsored my, personally sponsored afghan interpreters and soldiers that fought with us to come to the united states. they are now u.s. citizens, starting their own business and they are thriving. here's the thing, dana, they don't just put their own lives on the line to stand with us. they put their entire families' lives on the line to stand with us. and i actually lost one on the waiting list. he was executed along with members of his family. >> dana: that must be hard to take. >> it was incredibly difficult. we have over 20,000 on the waiting list. so two points. this war on terror isn't going anywhere any time soon and we are absolutely dependent on those interpreters and our local allies to fight this war against isis and others. two, when we talk about immigration, we talk about merit-based immigration and who deserves to come here, who deserves to be in the front of the line, i can't

bill's co-sponsors will join us. plus, teflon tim strikes again the apple ceo touring a mac pro plant with the president in texas in whatn eye-catching photo op. a look at how mr. cook has become the trump whisperer and a top strategist says there is one worrisome chart on the majority right now

in the united states. benjamin wittes is a senior fellow at brookings and is a co-author of a forthcoming book ing thed -- unmak presidency, donald trump's war on the most powerful office. bill has paid a lot of attention to the public opinion aspects of impeachment and there were three recent national surveys that came out host: i want to start with bill. he has paid a lot of attention to the public opinion aspects of impeachment. there were three recent national surveys that came out, nbc, abc and fox news. they all showed 49% of the american public want trump impeached and removed from office. then bill wrote a post a few days ago talking about how support for removal drops in some of the swing states. bill, where are we now and what should people be watching for? e? >> funny you should ask. [laughter] let me take two or three minutes to summarize the state of public opinion on these questions. there is to begin a majority support for the congressional inquiry into the president's conduct and it is averaging in the low to mid 50s if you look at most of the surveys. as you said when it comes to actually impeaching and removing the president the country is split almost exac

administration wants to cloak themselves in the bar of the constitution and bill barr's sweeping executive powers. this is the courts and congress pushing back saying, no, we are co-equal branches and you are accountable to us and we will see how these hold up on appeal and how various individuals respond to it. it will make it harder and harder for the white house to make it politically sustainable. the harder they fight, the less it looks like good faith interpretation of the decision. >> as far as the white house and justice department are concerned -- >> yes. the point susan was making, this is not actually what the constitution is laying out. the doj department of justice counsel repeatedly emphasized the power to invoke absolute testimonial immunity with respects to current and former senior level aides belongs to the president. the judge continues this highlights the startling untenable allegations of absolute immunity argument and demonstrates its incompatibility with our constitutional scheme which basically says, you cannot be the white house and justice department and stand here and argue the president and everyone who works at the top of the white hou

bill, which is why i'm offering my amendment. my amendment is under the fentanyl sanctions act introduced by max rose and co-sponsored by french hill. in the senate, senate minority leader, chuck schumer is the lead sponsor joined by republican senator pat toomey. under the bills, the president could waive sanctions against reign state-owned banks if a foreign government is cooperating. this amendment's approach is similar. it says that the united states will oppose ex-im bank assistance to a government in the entities it controls if the president determines that the government isn't cooperating with us to stop the flood of opiods into our county. china and mexico have been identified by the u.s. drug enforcement agency as primary producers. this amendment is not targeting those who need assistance from the united states most. t would provide a waiver where government protection is needed for government goods and services. we want to help those that need assistance and we must protect the americans. according to the centers, the pioid deaths in america linked to synthetic drugs. areas in southwest ohio have some of the highest per capi

to seniors and other patients paying out of pocket for their co-pays or their deductibles in order to get the drugs they need. so this bill really checks every box. it protects innovation, it increases competition, and it lowers prices for patients and saves money for taxpayers. not surprisingly, as the senator from connecticut pointed out, it has strong support on both sides of the aisle. the judiciary committee, which ordinarily is a pretty contentious place, unanimously voted this bill out of the committee. and our friends from illinois, senator durbin and senator murray from washington, two members of the democratic leadership, are both cosponsors of the bill which shows just how noncontroversial this is. so i think it's time that we pass this legislation and let our constituents know that we've heard their concerns and we are committed on a bipartisan basis to bring down drug prices. so, mr. president, as if in legislative session, i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to the immediate consideration of calendar number 132, s. 1416. i now ask unanimous consent that the committee-reported substitute be withdr
