yesterday i happened to be in congressman chris smith office who i think is a great american hero andthe congressional china commission mentioned there was a falling -- on the mall. i went over there and some of my chinese dissident friends asked me to talk. it was miserable in the 102-degree heat standing out there but i was happy to stand in front of people who truly appreciate what freedom is. they probably don't share their religion of anybody in this room and i don't understand their belief system but i do respect their right to believe that if they choose to and to go about their business peaceably. while we were there though a group of chinese tourists and you might've noticed there are a lot of them in d.c. a group of kids led by their teacher were walking behind us towards the washington monument and they saw that there was an anti-communist party protest going on so the teacher began to lead them in a chant to try to overwhelm the speech that congressman ted poe was giving there. the arrogance of bringing children to the united states of america to supposedly teach them abou

we are here with our guest, chris smith. good morning.t i'm trying to figure out is why since obama democrats, office, republicans, no matter what decision he makes, you all are against him. he cannot make a decision correct without you all dragging him through the mud, saying he did wrong. host: caller, as far as the president's approach, where do you fall on this? chemical weapons were used, and we also know that obama pulled our troops out, because he did not want them doing any more fighting. therefore, if you think about it, it seems to me -- i am sorry. i guess, do you supporting military action, i guess is what we are asking? caller: yes, i do. we do know that chemical weapons were used. ok, thank you very much. have: the differences i are on substance. i mean, with obamacare, you have got high level democrats who are now calling it a train wreck. is it willming in very clearly be increased. many labor unions that got behind it, including the teamsters, have now said it is a disaster, and they want a major fix for their members.

released a statement that reads in part, the events of last year, losing four brave americans, chris stevens, sean smith, glen dofrty and tyrone woods, brought home the reality of the challenges we face in the world. we continue to mourn them and honor their dedication to service. we remain committed to bringing those responsible to justice. more hearings on the attacks are scheduled for this fall. >>> it is hard to believe it has been 12 years since september 11th. we take you live to new york city now. the 9/11 memorial ceremony just got underway. they are about to set up. we are going to listen in in just a moment when they go. there will be a moment of silence to mark the actual moment the first tower collapsed. that was at 5:46 a.m. >>> live reports as well from new york and washington coming up in ten minutes >>> right now, it is 5:32. >>> from protectors, they become victims. some of the first fire crews on scene from the fire in mt. diablo, getting back to their firehouse, they make a disturbing discovery. someone broke in while they were out hard protecting people and fighting that fire. bob ri

to do on this piece of legislation is , law fix current law that was first originated i think by chris smith from new jersey years ago. and here's -- let me explain to you the problem with this. when a victim from another country is trafficked into the united states -- and let's use a girl, a young girl -- because she's from a foreign country and she's trafficked internationally into the united states, and if she's rescued she is able to receive certain services from the health -- from health and human services. she can be certified as a human trafficking victim. once she receives that certification that she's actually a trafficking victim, there are certain services available to her, but only to international victims. so this law will say, look, we're going to treat international victims, yes. help them. but if it's domestic victims, they're going to be able to receive those same services and shelters will be able to receive those same services as an international trafficking victim. once they can obtain certification that they are trafficked victim, then they can apply and receive those sa

terrorists in libya killed ambassador chris stevens, state department officer shawn smith, and two former navy s.e.a.l.s, tyrone woods and glen doherty. today smith's mother and woods' father testified on capitol hill. >> too many of these witnesses that are testifying behind closed doors, and we don't know what they said, we don't see their faces on tv to tell whether or not they're credible witnesses. >> one silly question that i have, every time i see this on tv, i see these bloody fingerprints crawling down a wall of that benghazi place and i keep asking everybody, do those belong to my son. >> members of both political parties promised to help get the families answers. both democrats and republicans criticized security at the outpost at the time of the attack. katherine harrah is different in our d.c. newsroom. >> thank you, harris. good evening. the rank being democrat on the committee elijah cummings released a report on behalf of his staff today. he found the state department investigation was quote one of the most comprehensive reviews ever conducted. >> i've seen no evidence, no

in the name of chris stevens, sean smith, ty woods and chris daugherty, it should not be considered, it should be done. there should be a select committee to get to the truth. we should use all compulsory methods at our fingertips, including cutting off funding to any federal agency that refuses to comply with proper oversight by congress. because a constitution that can be nullified by one of the three branches is a wortless constitution and if congress can -- worthless constitution and if congress cannot do meaningful oversight and examine what the money we are appropriating is going for, then that money should not continue to be appropriated to anyone who will not allow knowledge of how it's being spent. and if it is being misused. his has to stop. on 9/12/2001, as a district dge in texas, i was so heartened on 9/12 that we came together. on the congressional delegation trip last week in the middle i , two people, democrats, don't agree much with politically, but i got to know them a lot better and i care deeply about them, they are very, very good people, we have the same desire

let's go back to chris gersch in the pits of the cme and our own sandra smith.dy i specifically asked you to be in this newsroom. unfortunately they put you in the other. i did see you in the greenroom. at least for that. is this momentary pop to the upside or do people see another floor developing and we can build off of that? >> something interesting is about to happen. you know, david, when you look what is happening in the stock market. we continue to get these gains, triple-digit gains in the dow today. s&p, nasdaq all higher on the session. you have the commodities market selling off. oil is down nearly 2%. gold continues to sell off, the market is not only pricing in right now, lack after strike by the u.s. in syria, but they're also starting to price in the fact that the fed may not be willing to do anything at this meeting. cheryl: right. >> so either it is setting up for a disaster or pricing in reality. so, i mean, either way this market could be taken by surprise. cheryl: you know, chris, it will be a fun moment, always is, of course, on fed day and

as a former united states ambassador, i rise today in honor of chris steven, shawn smith and glen daughertyyods. the american people and their families deserve the answer, the truth and more importantly justice. one year later, there are still so many unanswered questions, why did we not answer the cry of the u.s. security? why in the days and weeks after benghazi did the administration lie about the terrorist attack and who gave the standdown order? mrs. wagner: it's shameful that the obama administration has refused to track and punish those who attacked and murdered those four americans. the american people deserve answers. the congress should convene a select committee to investigate the terrorist attack in benghazi. the victims' families deserve the truth. the american people deserve a commander in chief that stands for strength, liberty and justice. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? >> i seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the spe
