congress was a much smaller operation. committees have always been with congress. the house has always had the senate's always had them. why so? as you mentioned, committees have really been essential institutions in congress. its inception and the way that i like to think about it is that committees exist because congress is a huge institution and it has to deal with a huge number of issues. as we all know, watching it. and so it needs to delegate responsibility and, ownership in some way. and does this through committees. committees are really where it delegates responsibility to look more deeply and take ownership of different issues committees are where members can special eyes in a topic and take ownership it and deliberate and understand policies more deeply. committees also a way then of decentralizing power within the chamber and more legislators to be involved in different ways in. the process again just like many other big organizations that we might of and in terms of how committees actually function in the process congres

administration in order to send troops and so on and in congress there are competent people in congress committeesber all these discussions and promises. that is, here is such an ambiguous situation when a discussion is needed. uh, and you have to convince the executive branch, as they say. and how much time will it take? well, for all that, then there was a cold war, and it was understandable. if a conflict breaks out, it is total, so no one can evade, but now we live in a hybrid war here, it turned out linen is deformed and guarantees, respectively, the curves we live no longer in their world but with others. defeats completely with other warriors and so on, therefore, it’s impossible to project it purely like that. yes, even from the sixties, when intercontinental missiles appeared, even then the europeans began to doubt whether there would be automatic guarantees if soviet missiles in response, uh , fly and fly right there, therefore, if we look at any visit of an american president to europe, there is always a key phrase when they remember this fifth article, that he psychologically assures a

guest: it has been sent to congress and several committees. i believe some have credit but i am not certain -- may have read it but i am not certain. host: richard, republican mine, georgia. c-span.org my question -- caller: my question is about the letter prior to the election where they said that the laptop was disinformation. now as been confirmed that antony blinken started that letter and after the election, he became secretary of state. my question is is biden compromised? action acne blinken be impeached -- should antony blinken be impeached? guest: in terms of that letter that intelligence officials were before the election, that was specifically about that laptop is part of the investigation. as far as we know right now, the investigation and charges he is facing not specifically relate to the contents of that laptop. i do not have that much information on the laptop. host: on the waste investigation, has hunter biden met with that committee? guest: the way it works generally is the team at the irs kamil unit and the fbi agent seem to

congress. he was chairman of the committee, the largest committee in congress for the last four years. many accomplishments. we don't have the time to say many of them but from personal experience, i appreciated your deep understanding of the maritime industry and many other subjects. thank you for your service in congress and your commitment to doing the job the right way. welcome. fmr. rep. peter: i appreciated -- appreciate it. michael: how is retirement? fmr. rep. peter: it is a work in progress. michael: we are glad to have you with us. we will get into the conversation and we will get into trade policy. this is a confrontational question. you told the earlier that you oppose every free trade agreement that came for congress in your 36 years. fmr. rep. peter: that included most favored nation treatment for china and china's --can you tell us why? fmr. rep. peter: economics in college and graduate school and to me, the theory of competitive advantage didn't make much sense in the 21st century. most of our trade has been based on that. secondly, a lot of our trade was colored by com

congress. and we are not alone. the d.c. police union representing 3,500 members and the u.s. capitol police labor committee both have endorsed this resolution of disapproval. d.c.'s reckless reforms are also caught nationwide attention with the national fraternal order of police and the national association of police organizations, both asking congress to block the d.c. reform package. additionally the california coalition of law enforcement soccers, fullerton police officers' association and the las vegas police protective association are all strongly in favor of h.j. resolution 42. we see such broad national support for the disapproval resolution because other jurisdictions know just how awful the d.c. council's anti-policing, so-called reforms, would be as a precedent for america's cities. additionally, d.c. mayor bowser declined to sign this legislation into law. that should be a signal of how extreme it is. but the d.c. council did not listen and proceeded to pass it anyway. we also have a recent precedent to consider. recently, 31 house democrats and 31 senate democrats joined president biden and hou

committee, i also chair the cybersecurity infrastructure protection subcommittee the homeland committee. and congress plays an important role in encouraging agencies to achieve regulatory harmonization so there's no burdensome regulations. we had a hearing last month and i heard from a number of stakeholders including one that said the cybersecurity employees spend anywhere from 30 to 40% of their time focusing on compliance matters. last month the sec decided the proposed rules that contain more than 1400 pages of regulatory language and cybersecurity operational resilience for the capital markets industry this comes nearly a year after the proposal of two other rules that would require issuers to disclose within four business days following that it was material. let me be clear given the existing workforce challenges that we are seeing across not only the financial service sectors but the rest of the critical 16 critical infrastructure sectors, we must ensure that we are not driven talent out of the cybersecurity workforce pipeline because the federal government is not analyzing how the rules and r

congress. this committee will evaluate the status of job and relationship with his families, foreign partners, and whether he is a president who has compromised, joins to come to some emotion. i come with garages invasion into ukraine has divided the walls, the united states and its allies in the west of trying to project a united front against rush in aggression. a russian missile fire from somewhere off of ukraine, went into ukraine air space, but then veered into easter poland. and actually it's a target not a target, but a site in the eastern poland, killing 2 people, the top official with russia. foreign ministry tonight, warring that warning that american commercial satellites could be a target because of america's age for ukraine. it isn't iraq, fred, from russia to the united states. we had some years ago, a book, a by a german editor of the largest newspaper in germany, who confessed that he, together with every important journalist in europe. we're all in the c r a's payroll. he said they hand us the stories and we publish them. so the ability of the cia to control explanations both

supply chain crisis of the last couple of years fell squarely within the jurisdiction of your committee. and congress eventually, your committee approved and the house passed the senate passed legislation that the ocean shipping reform act to respond to that. what are your thoughts about the supply chain crisis in that legislation? >> well, it was an immediate crisis. we head ships, 100 ships, waiting to get into l.a. long beach. it was causing, containers went from a few thousand bucks or 2000 bucks to $20,000 a container. and the shipping companies did not want to wait to load agricultural goods or u.s. goods and come back, they're happy just take empty containers and go back. there were all sorts of abuses that were being put upon the american industry. we had, basically gone through a series of deregulations overtime. that relate to shipping. let me just go way back. 1882. secretary of navy, william coleman, any nation that relies on another nation for its supply of ships loses in peacetime it's commercial independents and, in time of war, places it's very existence at the mercy of the powers whi

ukraine, one forest is the right of the presidential administration without agreement with the congress with committeesnd all others to single out appropriate new aid packages. out of mind, this resolution is a fuse for the congress against presidential condensation, which will destroy the mind, that is, in this there is a perfect balance of the american system, they understand that absolutely he, they understand that all living people and anything can happen, and therefore, for the allies, this is an indicator of how the americans treat the systematicity of the strategic assistance to ukraine, and for the internal situation in america, it is really an opportunity for this system to continue working . and this is what i was talking about when i commented on the resolution, it shows strategic characteristics which is not tied to an individual to a party even separates a state body as we saw as ford fox tour i i do not want to warn the audience if you thought that the international diplomats will give you the specifics right away. that's it. that's it. that's it. you're very wrong. you'll have to watch t

congress at that time. then ranking member of the house foreign affairs committee representative, lee hamilton. at the end of that fellowship you went to work for one of my own personal heroes representative, ron delena, who was then the ranking member of the armed services committee. you developed a new expertise on the military appropriations process. and it was with this new expertise that you were able to blow the whistle yet again, this time on a missile defense program called the airborne laser. it took another decade, but that program was eventually canceled. tell us about that experience. john. first, a little correction that the whistle blowing at jail happened not on the airborne laser. i can, i can talk for a long time about emily's a, but it was on a different part of the missile defense system. it was hard at that time national missile defense and now it's called the g m d, which is the ground based mid course defense. it is about defense of united states against strategic meaning, intercontinental ballistic missiles coming from the so called rogue states like dpr, k, iran, libby a

words, i will say that there was a report by mark milli , the head of the joint staff committee, before the congresse committees, where he defended the perspective concept of the american army there and the component is related to the transition to robotic platforms sometime in 2030, the end use. it is there as a component of must have so that they are not even discussed and the american army is moving towards this, but we it's all the same, of course it's good for us to talk about the american army. and we need to talk about the american army in the ukrainian army. well, it's more like down to earth, and now we're talking about what we want to find partners, find good technologies and adapt them to ukrainian needs, and the question arises, is there an association of defense manufacturers in sweden? do they generally know about the peculiarities of the ukrainian defense industry, which companies do certain things, who to contact, how to establish relations, and these are two worlds, which gifts remain completely separate, well, of course , they know and there have been several visits, i understand r

i should let you know congress committee democrats on this committee and the previous congress includinghairwoman maloney and lynch in staff and others repeatedly encouraged and pushed agencies to cooperate with the cigar. repeatedly, i regret today quite frankly hearing that the state department, dod and usaid have produced some documents and provided some written responses and participated in some meetings but have not given the full cooperation that is sought. i want to underscore something that the ranking member said earlier also if the intention of this committee to always support the work of inspector general's. if we don't do that it's pretty difficult for us to move forward with any sense of legitimacy. given the extraordinary importance of cigars work including the role in helping congress and in people to better understand where we are, on the record i'm going to urge all three of the agencies today to cooperate more so that we might not be in a position of hearing what we heard today or in a position of frustration like i am right now knowing that there is apparently more inf
