congressional rules need to change to address members expanded ability to influence the market. banning members from owning or trading individual stocks would address several problems including the actual conflict of interest that arise when they take official actions that affect a company or industry where they or their families have a direct financial stake, the event of financial conflict of interest, and the public outrage over members appearing to trade on confidential information. i ban is necessary because, unlike other officials and other branches of government, recusal is not a viable option for members of congress. both the executive and judicial branches have higher standards. merely placing individual assets into a qualified blind trust will not fully address these concerns absent a requirement to sell the original assets. the band must also extend to members spouses, independent children to ensure that members can sadly circumvent the law by transferring their individual assets to a close family member. finally, the band must include an enforcement mechanism that is

we do need to check the congressional record. and we work very hard to redact any pii that might appear there. i think even congress is being more circumspect about that stuff going forward. our biggest problem is stuff that exists in a tangible form, so printed paper, that was printed historically, 20, 30 years ago or even a lot longer. and what we're running into are two issues there. one is, as we're trying to digitize that information, so we're taking committee hearings from the '70s or '80s and trying to digitize those and put them on gov.info. there, both our contractor and our library team are looking at those documents. where we see or catch pii, we're redacting that from the digital copies that go online. when it comes to those paper documents, we simply don't have the capacity to literally travel the world, to find every copy of the congressional record from the late 1800s forward, check those volumes for pii, and redact them. so we are in some respects reliant on our partners, the federal depository libraries and a lot

hearing or the congressional record or the federal register. because those were all tangible documents, it was a lot harder for somebody to get that information and then to do something with it. because the internet just wasn't developed as it is now. we've got a program in place to scan for pii in those older documents and as we digitize them, we are working to redact that from our digital collections. >> thank you for that. i know that i gpo routinely publishes documents and information that originate elsewhere. in the federal government. so you are not the original custodian and source of all the information you publish. and so, how does this affect your privacy policies and practices? >> so we are often the middle person in this transaction. and the good example is the one i gave in my testimony about u.s. court of opinions. as you can well imagine, there are a lot of opinions that folks may not be happy are out there in the world or easily searchable. and while, as a general matter, that serves a greater public good, there is that problem

you are mentioning the congressional budget office earlier. they also put out a study on minimum wages and pointing this out, that some people would get higher pay, other people will lose their jobs orse have to wok fewer hours because of the wages but this is not, i argue this is not, this isce not evidence, or this is not the reason that we saw the economic gains that we saw under trump priors to covid. >> host: i tend to agree, economists in general believe if you oppose height price controls in a market which is what they e minimum wage is in the labor market youy will reduce quantit, that is to say number of workers. because you don't allow people lower prices, then what is mandated by the floor, in this case minimum wage. what was particularly troublesome i think with that explanation is that we saw huge growth in employment at the same time we saw wage increases. that doesn't lend itself very well to minimum wages because if the minimum wages you see wage increase of potentially but you will also seek drop in employment. >> guest: there

. >> you know, interestingly one of the first meetings our committee had, we brought in the congressional research service who walked us through the history of these reform committees which actually was an important discussion because it put our work in that historical context. about every 20 or 30 years or so congress realizes things are not working the way they ought to. to do something about it, ours is called the select committee on the modernization of congress. make congress work better for the american people. when we had that discussion, i think it levels the expectations in a couple of ways. one, when you walk through these committees, provide some objective analysis that refers to the successful committee from this year and the failed committee from that year and each one of us didn't want when we set up a committee in the future and crs refers to it it is a failed committee of the 2020's. the other thing i would say is it was useful because it would also help inform the work we did. make congress work better for the american people. that included looking at things like staffing

as ali said, we're in the middle -- at the end of a congressional recess, unfortunately for congressionalhings. there's a couple of things that are undoubtedly true. kevin mccarthy cannot become speaker without donald trump's support or donald trump taking a pass on dumping all over him. that's number one. and number two, if there's anything that republicans will be angry at mccarthy for, it will be splitting with donald trump. he's very rarely done that. no one could accuse kevin mccarthy of not being loyal to donald trump. and i will note, garrett, that some of those things that are in this book by jonathan martin and alex burns, which everyone should go buy, he said publicly. he said publicly trump was to blame for the insurrection, although he later walked those things back. so i think, listen, i think that kevin mccarthy, his main goal is to neutralize -- anything from neutralize to ensure the support of donald trump and everything he does should be viewed through that lens. >> and ali, mcconnell, and you alluded to this, doesn't look at trump quite the same way, obviously. they have

if six months later, they win and take most of the congressional facilities, what is more than likelyenario, then, of course, in that case, they will launch, already a formal congressional investigation into hunter baden. and uh, i think that even under this will try to bring impeachment proceedings, so well, in the spring of next year, they are now intensively hiding from hunter from the public in malibu, the son of the head of the white house lives under the supervision of american intelligence services, and from open sources they clean out any mention of his fund. wikipedia removed the article about the investment firm. hunter biden rosemundsenek. this firm funded a study of dangerous pathogens in the ukraine with a us department of defense contractor that was, even though you're being told it wasn't. it was if the case against the family of the president of the united states in washington will give a move, then obviously it will be necessary to investigate not only the involvement of the white house in the white laboratory in ukraine, but also the activities of hunter bydn in the
