we were ad hoc were select committee not a permanent committee.and i don't think that the word subpoena was used in the whole 15 months. we were relying on people to cooperate. and i'm being by people leaders of the intelligence community and bill colby had already testified pretty to us about what he knew and some pretty deep secrets. so chairman church called a meeting of just the committee members. it was correct me if there was anyone else the room. i don't think so. this was in the first 30 days of our and the question on the table was what if the agencies refuse to deal with this? what if we asked for documents and they just don't give them? what if we ask them to come testify and? they don't come. what do we do? so we would run the. and it was kind of confusion and no quite knew how to crack this walnut and get started so i would being jurist in the committee it was the last so i said mr. chairman i have idea why don't each of us. ask the cia and the fbi for own personal files. room got deathly silent. so you had 1110 others thinking it was

, because the committee, you said today that there is no policy, but unfortunately committee, subcommitteed in half an hour, c there are about a thousand amendments to this draft law, if i am not mistaken, you physically, even if i ask you to read them now, just read them, you will not be able to do it, if i am not mistaken, it is you, yuriy mykhailovychu, who is the chairman of the subcommittee, so unfortunately , this is profanation and forgery, i am ashamed to talk about it, because i really respect you as a colleague, as a people 's deputy, and i repeat once again that you, you work in the hall, as well as the ministry of finance that exists today, thank you. unlike other ministries and ready to respond to question, but the fact remains the fact, you didn't analyze the amendments, you didn't prepare this law for consideration, you know, it's like a troika meeting in stalin's time, when you are guilty because we decided so, not because you are, indeed, guilty in this or that crime or in that or that fault. that is why you did not consider the amendments of the opposition, you did not co

the house ethics committee. the reason i ask is it was congressman don bacon on this program earlier today saying that when it comes to george santos and the latest allegations against the republican from new york, healed there would be an ethics committee -- he hoped there would be an ethics committee investigation. guest: the ethics committee knows its job is to police wrongdoing by members of the house. it is their job to pay attention to those things. whether or not they need to launch a full ethics committee investigation is for them to determine. i don't know what information they have. i suppose that was the first step before any efforts to expel airports to force a resignation. given the charges that have been brought against congressman santos, it does raise the bar for his removal. host: does the ethics committee operate like the other committees where the membership is determined by proportion of control of the house? caller: eight used -- guest: it used to be an equal number of members. it was one of

committee. then, russian foreign minister addresses the 78th session of the united nations general assely in new york city. ter, a discussion with the ukrainian prosecutor general on the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for alleged war crimes committed against ukrainian citizens. >> a look at the impeachment the greatest president biden in the first public hearing on the house oversight committee. republicans had accused president biden and his senate race of offering from foreign business deals, while serving in public office. this portion of the hearing is about three hours and 45 minutes. for that she served 15 years in the michigan health represents, she is a familiar face of this committee as she has spent her first two terms on the oversight committee, she replaces congresswoman of vermont and i want to welcome back congresswoman i also want to become others. >> and q for the warm welcome extended to our colleagues. she is the favorite daughter of this committee and we are th

i am happy that, anyway, the independence of the committees the federation of disciplinary committees of the federation is strong and this is one of the positive points of the football federation , and according to its constitution, if we remember that the disciplinary committee made the result of a game 3 to 0 a few years ago, the appeals committee would return that if it had not happened, maybe the teams move in the league and these things happen all the time this independence of the federation's committees is commendable. well, now you seem to have already promised in a tv program that you must say the reason , and now with this clarification you made , you have given details about it. i only signed the contract for the interests of the federation and the interests of our country. it seems that they are waiting for you to find something that i think anyone would have done if they were in my position. well , it was done with argoua and senegal. yes, we beat argoua and senegal tied. 2 very good games before the cup. global, and of course, in that country, all these events that happen

it is taken into account by the committee. at the same time , they ask to put such a decision on confirmation. please vote. for 268 decisions were made. the next amendment, the 264th, too, who will be, nina petrivna, please. also, very narrowly focused questions, but for some reason gerus and panuk are now submitting changes to the state budget, and not to other legislation. this is just about the suspension for the 24th year, article 4 of the law of ukraine, which says. on mutual settlements or transfers of subventions in the order and under the conditions approved by the cabinet of ministers of ukraine, at the expense and within the limits of the state budget expenditures for the purpose, the source of which is the income determined by the law of ukraine on the state budget for the 21st year and the following years for repayment of debts from the difference in tariffs. of course, we could not hear the explanation, because the norm is not considered separately. law, the entire proposal is included in the law on the state budg

position, please committee. i support the increase in spending on the armed forces of ukraine and even submitted bills myself, one of the bills on increasing defense spending by 500 billion. we passed through the budget committee in the spring, but i think that here we need to remind all our viewers and people's deputies that when we pass a law on the state budget, we actually make an appropriation, we allow a major spender, such as the department of defense, to register a payment or many payments in the treasury for an appropriate amount, such as 196 billion. but in order to pay these payments, there must be money in a single treasury account. the ministry of defense submitted a request for financing for 7 trillion uah. there will never be enough for us. uah 7 to the treasury account to pay these funds, so unfortunately we are working within the available resources. thank you, please continue, petro oleksandrovich from the 50th, 50th, 51st, 52nd, 53rd, 54th, that's right , two minutes, rekslanna andriivna, you

chairman because if they don't arrest power to committee chairman and committee airplane are subjectaker still has too much power thand the way you rest power awy from committee chairman is by having committee chairman selected by the members of the committee because then the chairman would be beholding to the members of the committee rather the speaker that selects thing. and then you would begin to devolve power back to the members and with the crowd that you speakr of in your book could emerge but right now the -- the citizens that are represented by kevin mccarthy in california, those citizens, the wisdom of that crowd has way more say and the wisdom of the crowd in northeast wisconsin has none. and that's where this whole idea, thef wisdom of the crowd breaks down because those members were the proxy, they are the vote. they are the say. here isat what northeast wisconsin, here is what dan in illinois feels about this or that. this is what the citizens say about this or that and play the card in the machine and vote. that's the only wayay that the wisdom of the crowd can emerge

crow refused to comply with committee requests and mr. leo and arkly stonewalled the committee. years, years, mr. president, reports of ethical misconduct by justices on the court have raised serious concerns, but over the past year, a series of investigative reports have brought the long-simmering issue to a boil. story after story has emerged about lavish gifts and luxury trips that supreme court justices shamelessly accepted and failed to disclose. the reported behavior is unworthy of anyone in public office and it is led -- it has led to an historic loss of public confidence in the supreme court. some background here is necessary. harlan crow is a billionaire and a republican mega donor. he first met justice clarence thomas in the mid-1990's after thomas' confirmation to the supreme court. not long after they met, crow began to shower justice thomas with lavish gifts, flights on his private jet, invitations to an an all-male invitation only private club, a $19,000 bible that once belonged to douglas -- he disclosed them. but those disclosures abruptly stopped in 2004, almost

the members of the committee.that chairman would be beholden to the members of the committee. rather than the speaker who selects them. and the most significant thing they could have done is that and then you would begin to devolved power back to the members and that great wisdom of the crowd that you speak of in your book could emerge. but right now the citizens that are represented by kevin mccarthy in california, those citizens, the wisdom of that crowd has way more say, and the wisdom of the crowd in northeast wisconsin has none. and that's what this alleges the wisdom of the crowd breaks down. because those members with the proxy. they are the boat, we are to say here's what northeast wisconsin or here's what illinois feels about this or that. this is what the citizen say about this or that, then they place their card information and photo. that's the only way the wisdom of the crowd can emerge through this elected body and begin to be heard again. but that couldhi stop because everything is being driven by t

over people and under the intel committee into an impeachment committee. it was right again when we asked jim to step up and be the right person to lead judiciary committee as chairman. and jim is the right person to take that seat behind me, to be our next speaker of the house. mr. speaker, we have an important job to do. the american people expect us to focus on the most pressing issues. we've watched what a democrat majority has done and brought us inflation like we haven't seen since the 1970's. we watched what the democrats have done by opening up our border, bringing fentanyl, killing americans each and every day. and now we have a war in israel. this country is too great for small visions. trust me. being speaker is not an easy job. especially in this conference. but i've seen jim spend his entire career fighting for freedom. no matter what. no matter the odds. and i know he's ready for the job. and so it is my honor to say, as a member of the republican conference, i am directed by the vote of that conference to present for the election to the offi
