connolly comes up, i have a question for you. with the narcan situation you were faced with today, i understand there were four revivals in the tenderloin today. without the narcan, they would have died, and that would be four did yeaths. i notice in looking at the tenderloin twitter accounts, they post the drug dealers that get arrested on the corner, and the quantities of heroin that they have is much, much higher than i used to see when i was a d.a. it's levels that would get them federal prosecution yet, there's this revolving door with this drug dealers, they're going out and selling this heroin that's possibly taking lives. they say selling is a victimless crimes, but tell that to the family members who have lost loved ones because of it. is there anything you can tell to the judges, to get them to take this a little more seriously, that it's not a victimless crime? >> that's a really good question, and it starts with the district attorney. we do our jobs, file the reports and to work with the district attorney on really tr

in a moment we'll be speaking to our correspondent in brussels, kevin connolly, but first, let's talko our assistant political editor, norman smith, in westminster. norman, steve baker was talking about a catastrophic split in the conservative party. how accurate is that warning? that is probably still more rhetoric than reality, but it gives you a more rhetoric than reality, but it gives you a sense more rhetoric than reality, but it gives you a sense of the sort of grand canyon—like chasm that has opened up in tory ranks. brexit, with mrs may's opponents remorselessly trying to crank up the pressure on her to abandon her plans, with increasingly emotive and charged interventions from boris johnson and then this morning, of course, the former leader, iain duncan smith, saying the party could plunge out of power if it sticks to the chequers blueprint. the idea is to create a sort of rolling thunder campaign up to the party conference in the hope of that there, party activists will rise in protest against chequers, mrs may will crack and abandon the plan. i had to say, there is so far

. >>> joining us now, congressman jerry connolly, he is a democrat who serves on the fortunate affairsttee. thank you for joining us. >> good to be with you, wolf. >> we know president trump was deeply angered by james comey's testimony before congress, so do you think that this effort by some of your republican colleagues in the house could be successful? >> i don't know how we pressure success. i mean, you know, this trio, gates and jordan and goodlatte, sort of are a triumvirate that would rival the inquisition when it comes to destroying testimony and testimony that doesn't go where it is intended to go. meanwhile, of course, they see and hear no evil and have subpoenaed no members of the trump administration for the scores of ethical conflicts and scandals that are real. so clearly there's a double standard. it remind me, wolf, of the old expression of a friend of mine, if you're going to be a phoney, at least be sincere about it. >> yeah. can rosenstein ignore the president's attacks on him the way his boss, the attorney general jeff sessions, has apparently ignored the humiliati

connolly to secure our democracy act is a response with real teeth. we introduced it last january when we first got a clear picture of what the russians did in 2016. it hasn't really moved. here we are less than two months from an election and i don't think we've done enough to tackle this threat. we're vulnerable to more attacks and it's imperative we act now. we need to punish those who attacked our democracy and work to defer future attacks. we need to incorporate stronger sanction regime into a broader strategy to deal with russia's aggression and utter disrespect for international rule of law. so i'd like to know when you answer these questions what your agencies are doing to meet this challenge, as well as the other range of issues and then that i've mentioned. that's my statement. let me take iran and then russia. let me do russia first, and then iran. why is the administration not utilizing the full range of sanctions that congress passed last year in cafta, notably sanctions on russia energy projects and against russian arms exports? >> thank

johnson or connolly had called for george christian, his press secretary and said to the president, not directly and i'll explain why in a moment, last night would have been better than tonight because time is running out. he ended up by castigating the president saying no more agonizing reappraisals. they asked why he didn't call directly. george christian laugh. haven't you heard, everything is normal now. they are not speaking these days. this was done outside the norm either. so by the late afternoon, if i'd had enveloped people in the white house. and looked at each other helplessly -- he wanted to do something, but what? how dare he do anything with the decision so momentous, one i could find no means implement or take the responsibility for making it turn out right. and that's the time drug on she kept looking at the hands of the clock and counting the hours till 9:00 p.m. the president goes through again. clifford had been there when he made his decision to make this announcement march 27th, 1952 but he would not seek reelection. just going back over this was actually march 29th

remember that both mccaskill and connolly won the election of 2012 because republicans feel damaged candidatesthat shouldn't be in play, but it is, tennessee. this is why democrats have an outside shot at winning the senate. former governor phil bredesen is within striking distance of republican representative marsha blackburn. president trump's approval rating in the state is at a staggering 58%. that is what makes this a challenge for democrats. shannon? >> shannon: chad pergram, thank you so much. fox news exclusive. more text messages between former fbi employees peter strzok and lisa page reveal others were "leaking like mad." the text chain from december 2016 indicates other government officials were apparently leaking about the russia probe a month after the presidential election. one of the texts from stzrok said, "they have become leaking like mad. scorned and worried and political, kicking into overdrive." two former fbi agent, one that worked directly with stzrok say they believe that it's referring to the cia. we don't operate from an alleged media leak strategy to a trove of kavan

i also want to thank the office of congressman gerry connolly who has made possible the booking of this room. as many of you probably know, ingress is currently engaged reconciling two rather different versions of a farm bill. house and senate committee, the joint committee, is doing so. this is the consequence of a roughlyl that is passed every five years. in the past, without much controversy and increasingly with more controversy. we will see how this comes about. but i thought it would be useful for us to get some experts who could explain to us how the farm bill came about and how it has evolved over the years and arrived at the present point that we are at. we have three leading experts in the field. an first is david hamilton, associate professor of history at the university of kentucky. and i should say all of the biographies are on this sheet as well as a brief summary of the topic. phillips,ll be sarah an assistant professor of history at boston university. and i might, the senior economist for domestic policy in the office of the chief economist at the u.s. department of agri

colleagues for their support and thoughtful dialogue, particularly the gentleman from virginia, jerry connolly, and pennsylvania, mr. cartwright, who co-sponsored this bill with me. i urge my colleagues to support the bill and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. gohmert: thank you, mr. speaker -- goals goals thank you, mr. speaker. i -- mr. gomez: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. this would give the ability to testify. this would be a significant new authority. although i believe most i.g.'s would act responsibly, we must have safeguards against potential abuse. this bill includes safeguards. go uld require an i.g. to through two reviews and be conducted by the counsel, a panel of through crunal members would have to approve it. the second review would be conducted by the attorney general who would have the opportunity to olympic a subpoena if it would interfere with an ongoing investigati

connolly: thank you, mr. speaker, i thank my dear friend from new york, thank her for her leadership and thank mr. frelinghuysen for his leadership and wish him well in the next part of his career. while this is a half measure, i urge its adoption. in order to avert what would be the third government shutdown this year. as a representative of northern virginia i do not share the president's idea that there's any ever such a thing as a good government shutdown i feel look forward to working with the committee to recomplete the rest of the appropriations bills for fiscal year 2019 in order to address pressing issues especially providing our hardworking federal employees with a raise. again i want to thank chairwoman granger and ranking member visclosky for including in the defense appropriation bill an authorization for the secretary of defense. in the event of a government shuttown -- shutdown to make gratuity payments to family members of fallen servicemens. i'm so glad this will finally be enshrined in law.
