for a cross-border pipeline, the bill says the federal government can only examine the cross-border segment of the project. who thought that up? creative. it's hard to believe this is what the bill does but it's true. for a pipeline spanning hundreds of miles, the environmental review will focus on only that tiny part that crosses the u.s. border. that's irresponsible. that would eliminate the possibility of any meaningful examination of the carbon pollution impacts of these pipelines. we should be examining the carbon impact of every pipeline before we approve it. , but to very important do so without important environmental reviews in this day and age is frightening. the future will belong to the country that builds an energy infrastructure to support a cleaner, lower carbon economy, and it's our responsibility to lead the country in the clean energy future with all the jobs , consumer savings and economic growth that would be provided. this bill also provides more proof of what is plain in this republican-led congress. it's unfortunately likely to go down in history as having failed to m

these cross-border projects are oftentimes hundreds of miles long. it simply makes no sense to conduct an environmental review on the small portion that crosses the border. that's just common sense. for the good of our environment, for the good of our communities and our public lands, i urge my colleagues to oppose these harmful pieces of legislation, and i yield back the balance of my time. thank you. the chair: the gentlelady yields back the balance of the time for the minority and general debate. the gentleman from oklahoma is recognized to close debate for the majority. mr. mullin: i have a couple more speakers, mr. chairman. the chair: well, without objection, the gentlewoman from florida may reclaim time, then, if you have additional peakers. the gentleman from texas -- the gentleman from oklahoma can yield. mr. mullin: can i ask a question on this? i was under the impression that -- the chair: the gentleman will state your inquiry. mr. mullin: i had the impression that the other side had yielded the balance of the time. the chair: the gentlema

cross the bridge on a sunday morning. they will have to go the long way around. >> what kind of challenges does this pose shutting down an entire side of the golden gate bridge? >> yeah, it's no easy task. we needed to make sure that we had communication out there that as many knew as possible, that we engaged for golden gate transit buses to provide public transit across the bridge. we have emergency vehicles that are still permitted to travel northbound in that lane that used to have traffic in it. there was a lot of coordination that needed to happen. for the sake of safety this was felt to be necessary. >> reporter: is this something we can expect in future years or is this a once off day. >> this was a once off decision to close the bridge northbound during this marathon. however, the bridgeport is going to come back and look at it as a policy issue. do we allow special events on the roadway or keep it open to vehicles in the future. that's a decision the bridge board will come to in the next coming months. >> report

cross country lines, cross state lines. is almost impossible for insurance companies to compete in different states. we can't because of unfortunately the 60 votes. but it will come very soon. we are putting in a popular bill. and that will come and your premiums will be down 60% and 70%. people don't know that. nobody hears it. nobody talks about it. we will have to cross state lines. you will have insurance companies bidding -- you will have forms of insurance you do not even know about right now. because that is the way it works. there will be tremendous competition.

that's only 13% of crossings.r cities with even more intersections like memphis, tampa, and miami have signals at more than 80% of their crossings. becky mowbray: it's more like the exception than the rule. when you see a pedestrian light, you're surprised to see a pedestrian light. whereas, in other major cities, they're pretty much on every major corner. joce: becky mowbray is with the new orleans inspector general's office. it was their audit that showed the city of new orleans was putting people at risk. you watch these people, what goes through your mind when they're in those intersections? becky mowbray: i worry about their safety. joce: in the past 3 years, 40 pedestrians have been killed in new orleans. to compare with two cities of similar size, cleveland had 11 pedestrian deaths in that time. minneapolis had 6. new orleans isn't unique in its pedestrian problem. atlanta, and 22 other cities on a federal government watch list. >> the guy who hit me said he didn't see me. joce: jolie lemoine was hit by a c

and forstmann perspective, we are looking at illegal immigration, those that cross illegally. there are an awful lot of good people crossing illegally that are coming here only to better their situation. unfortunately, those are not the only people we see. we see a great number of people with criminal records here in the u.s. we see people with rape convictions, murder convictions, we see people that have that convictions. we see the entire gamut. i want to be clear when we are talking about illegal immigration, this is an issue that is worldwide. in my own career i have a rest people from poland, russia, brazil, china. we arrest people from all over the world who are coming into the united states illegally. if we don't have a system of laws that allows us to determine how we are going to run this country, we have chaos. unfortunately, chaos is what we have seen at the border, at times, and right now, that chaos exists. host: there was a recent story in "the washington times" looking at that funding request. the possibility of democrats fighting against it because of the borde

not just on hold but cross-country. our mission through the 1950's -- unconventional warfare, fighting the russians and the east germans. europe, yous in could start seeing student movements. terrorism stress become a problem a problem in the middle east. 1974 -- this is shortly after the debacle at munich where the germans tried to rescue the hostages at the olympics, and after the israelis do their rescue, the american military starts to look at terrorism and counterterrorist wars, but for the most part, the u.s. decides counterterrorism is an aspect better left to law enforcement. so, they give it to the military police to handle as far as the military goes. that would change. you come commander in the nato you come command are -- the u.s. commander and the nato commander both decided they needed means of the rome because they were a hotbed of terrorism, so they cast berlin, because it was a special forces unit, because it collectionlligence task, because it used clandestine nine operations -- all of these things wor

crossing. washington's army then dividing, marching down from the west, attacking these green dots representing the hessians at trenton, and that fighting taking place. then in a series of actions over the next ten days, crossing and recrossing the delaware culminating in the january 3, 1776 battle of pripsten. and this is when washington who's been attack bide a much larger superior british force during a little remembered battle called the second battle of trenton in the middle of the night manages to slip off leaving the british here, marching cross country, and attack the rear of the british line in precipitateten. and this was at the site of where princeton university stands today. and that fighting takes place, again, obon january 3, 1776. it was in that action that a scottish immigrant named hugh mercer had been persuaded. he knew washington very well in the early revolutionary period. he became a british commander, was a commander commanding the lead elements. when the british counter a

not washington's crossing that you're used to seeing in the paine metropolitan museum but crossing east to west. this is really one of the lowest moments of the revolutionary war. congress is fleeing philadelphia. there's a sense that this revolutionary effort is over. and that basically the men who signed that document were all going to end up being hauled off to the tower of london. and so charles wilson peele is part of the group of philadelphia soldiers who march up to reinforce washington's army. one of the men that's been with washington through that whole summer is his brother, james peele, who was serving with the maryland forces. they had fought very hard at the battle of long island in august of 1776. they'd lost many men, all of their baggage, they were really starving, nearly naked men. you have them barefoot as they crossed into pennsylvania. on the night of december 18th, 1776, a man came staggering out of a crowd of soldiers, came up to charles wilson peele, and he didn't recognize his own brother james. and that's the scene that we've recreated with this tableau here. it

but after hours in the air, we hadn't seen one immigrant crossing.hey call here the trump effect. president trump is often portrayed by his detractors as ineffectual, chaotic, embattled, but he's been effective on reducing illegal immigration. donald trump was elected to do something. he's doing by and large what he promised to do. we open our arms to people who want to come here but when you reward people who come in through the back door you are punishing people who come in through the front door. and i don't think we ever should punish people who comply with the rules. until president trump, many politicians across the political divide agreed criminals should be prioritised for deportation. but democrats and republicans disagree about how to handle the rest. if you want to get rid of undocumenteds, i have the answer. give them the ability to become legalised workers. if all you've been doing for the last few years is working hard, supporting a family, being a respected member of the community, why not give you the opportunity to live legally with

this remarkable cross channel invasion of normandy finally got underway on june 6, 1944. two years after marshall had made plans for it. along the road to allied victory, there are plenty of grievous misjudgments. for example in the 1930's, as an early advocate of british air force expansion, churchill would declare, "an aeroplane cannot sink a battleship because the armor is too thick." and in 1938, "the air menace against properly armed and protected ships of war will not be of decisive character." tell that to the japanese navy in 1942. devastating japanese aircraft carrier attacks on the british navy and its empire in the pacific woodshop churchill to the quick. in the spring of 1941, stalin refused to believe sources that a german invasion of russia was imminent. despite the obvious fact that hitler had mobilized 3 million german soldiers near the border for the invasion. -- foolhartyparty myopia would cause disaster and death to strike millions of the russian people gratuitously. here is the best one of all. u.s. federal william leahy, the indispensable chief of sta

and then fdr support of churchill who decided to delay the cross channel invasion. the preparations for june 6, 1944 when on daily. of course it was a success, but there is no guarantee of success. anyone who read the story of the weather and the crossing on june 6 which was very doubtful knows how likely failure could have resulted. do i believe that stalin and negotiated fdr at yalta? i have a full chapter in my book on yalta. i think it is fair to say that stalin did get the best deal at yalta. did he out negotiate roosevelt? he had the obligation to fulfill woodrow wilson's league of nations. the second was to get russia into the war against japan. remember, more in europe was over may 10. the war in japan was not over until we dropped the atomic bomb. i know that date because it is my birthday, august 15, 1945. so that roosevelt did not know that they were going to drop the atomic bomb. he might have come if you lived, might have given the order. he did not know then. getting russia into the war was important to him in order to save as a many american lives as
