for more, let me bring in george miller of california who has seen an awful lot in his career. don't think he's seen anything like this. congressman, good to have you with us tonight. >> thank you very much, ed. >> you bet. what is the atmosphere in congress at this hour as this is unfolding? >> well, i think most of the republicans are embarrassed by this legislation to create the lawsuit. and most of the democrats are furious that we're not using this time to help the american middle class, help the economy, by creating jobs instead of giving tax breaks to send jobs overseas let's give them to company to bring jobs back to the united states allowing students to refinance their student loans and saving them $50 billion to the american families if we just did for students what we did for banks in letting them refinance those loans and providing minimum wage increase that so desperately needed in so many places across this country for so many workers. and making sure that women who work get paid equal to men in the job for the same kind of work. but the republicans have chosen s

america or wells fargo pr this is part of a national campaign that's been led by organizations george miller has raised this international and this is raised for working conditions that at least the part time workers with instability in their lives and also those policies can have a huge positive impact on tens of thousands of retail workers in our city and the national impact will lead to many cities following suit to look at ways to prove the low was this for accountability workers. earlier today, i stood with a number of retailer works from safeway security businesses from the gap and from starbucks and other companies and they raised the issue this will make their lives and staying in the city easier and they stressed that this is really an urgent matter of staying in the city or being pushed out like so many others are because of our economic and wealth gap in the city. lastly i want to say i authorized along with the coworkers this is an issue where workers are not only living paycheck to paycheck but hour to hour and this measure the worker bill of rights will help with the stability

scheduling is one i've been working on for a couple years now and certainly with what congressman george miller is proposing, this is an issue that's gathered a lot of attention with good thoughts and ideas around policies to address it and look forward to conversations we'll be having about it. >> with that -- >> thank you mr. president. >> supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. thank you. already ladies and gentlemen, i'm trying to make this as brief as possible, but i have several items that i want to talk about. first i want to acknowledge and thank the planning department for their unparalleled leadership and commitment to helping me get the development agreement passed. i was remiss and didn't have an opportunity to thank them last week during our fifrs reading and introduction. today i'm introducing a filming notification and this will require filming companies to provide at least 24 hour notification to neighboring businesses and residents should their filming obstruct traffic or public parking spots. we've recentsly seen an increase in film productions across the city. my neighbors

george miller. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized for three minutes. mr. miller: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. miller: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. chairman, i rise in strong support of the bipartisan, bicameral work force investment and opportunity act. i want to thank my colleagues, representative tierney and hinojosa, for their commitment on improving our work force training system. a job that they have labored at now for many years. i want to thank senators harkin, murry, alexander, and isakson for their leadership. and thank the chairman of the committee, mr. kline, from minnesota, and the subcommittee chair, virginia foxx, for their leadership and cooperation on this legislation. of course the professional staff on both sides of the aisle in the house and in the senate. this is a critical moment. with almost 20 million americans still out of work, workers need help learning s

>> we are not seeing what professor george miller representative target-- harvard i'm a which were colorsd, black and the brighter colors. we are seeing pale pastels and not a lot of new fashion. in luxury we are seen fashion and that's why nordstrom is doing well that's why some of the high-end department stores and burberry announce great numbers as well. liz: acid yellow-green with subtly hot minute wasn't, liz. it's hard to keep the inventory stack properly. >> i think there is trend in teen unfortunately is going for the fast fashion company like crop tops and if anyone has teenage kids watching those trends seem bizarre and out there, but they are deftly happening. not the traditional companies are capitalizing on. liz: now let's get to what hovers above the fitting room. what should we be trying on? >> i like macy's and and taylor. both are inexpensive stock and i think that is important. you are not seeing overvalued companies, but macy's is best in class. great capital allocation and i think they will grow earnings above. liz: bert, what should we try on in your brain that falls

representative george miller on the house side, and elizabeth warren on the senate side are producing the bills. and this legislation gives working erls predictable schedules, input and baseline applications when there's unpredictability. given the gridlock in washington, do you really think this is a legislation that has a chance to pass. >> what is exciting about the federal legislation is there's a growing movement for a fair work week. next week there'll be a break through bill introduced in san francisco. that would expand applications. what the federal bill does is legitimize a host of new policy solutions, that we can pass in our states. >> thank you for being with us. >> general motors says it's recalling more vehicles, most because of faulty seats. more than 800 cars and trucks are affected. g.m. returned a record number of people. almost 30 million in all. the car-makers have been reviewing safety standards after it emerged that they had not addressed a deadly switch problem. >> u.s. department of transportation is going for an overhaul of standards after a series of high-pr

george miller was a real pal, a real ally as we got together to do this. our friends in the senate sometimes are hard to reach. in this case they came together and worked with us. so now i hope that we can build on this success and do some more things together to put america back to work. i think now, mr. miller. >> thank you, chairman klein, thank you, mr. speaker. this is a remarkable bill. this has been a long time coming. i think it was worth waiting for because this bill is forward looking. it's innovative and it does much more to tie our federal work force investment dollars to local and regional employers who can customize the needs that they have with community colleges, with vocational schools, with local high schools to develop the work force that they need in their region, in their state. that's a very exciting proposal to see that kind of connection put forth in this legislation. again, i want to thank everybody who worked on this, republicans and democrats and the house and the senate. and also there is a remarkable number of staff hours in br

here is a photograph that appeared in the new york times in january of california representative george miller with the gentleman from congress who board with him. lockwood did something which is in the fine tradition of the hill. how do we look at her in the late 1870s? she's conventional, a wife, a mother, a homeowner, a regular church-goer, she's at the same time radical and independent. she has joined and is very active in the leadership of the national women suffrage association which the stanton and anthony faction of the movement. she's joined the most radical peace group in the united states, the philadelphia universal based peace union. in today's language we would call it a human rights organization, a group very, very committed to issues of social justice. within the women's movement she fights very hard for the rights of mormon women, this was something that divided the movement at the time and she never stepped back from her support. she cast herself into a five-year battle which begins in 1874. she was denied admission to a federal court. to the u.s. court of claims, where she wi

, oddly enough from very different perspectives came to me afterwards and that would have been george miller, predictable george would side with me, but mcginnis, scott john shadegg, and ultimately we had greg walton. -- walden involved. we hammered out something that ultimately didn't pass through the house but our framework was adopted by the senate. then came back to the house and was adopted. and it was an attempt to expedite fuel reduction and prevent the intensity of future fires. i look at that as a model of how we should deal with fires. we do need to do more fuel reduction work. and we do need to do more preparation and prepositioning. but we also have to fight the fires that are burning today. now there is the rarest of rare things in washington, d.c., even rarer than the rarest endangered species. which would be a bill which is bipartisan, i guess a lot of people don't know what that means anymore, it's supported by both democrats and republicans, bicameral, by both democrats and republicans in the house and the senate. in substantial numbers. and it's supported by the president o

crowley discussed, george miller's bill, to increase affordable child care. this is so important. children learning. parents earning. it's about men and women, it's about families. house republicans have voted to weaken domestic violence laws and threatened to shut down government rather than fund planned parenthood. democrats will strengthen the violence against women act and expand women's access to comprehensive health care planning. as we gather on the steps of the capital, as my colleagues have referenced, republicans are inside wasting time and taxpayer money on partisan lawsuits against the president. republicans are about process, democrats are about progress. republican process, democratic progress. [applause] thanks to our colleague from kentucky, mr. yarmuth, where are you, mr. yarmuth? thank you, thank you, mr. yarmuth. he has kept us disciplined on a path of a middle class jump start, instead of the stalling that the republicans have done at every effort to increase jobs in our country. good-paying jobs in our country. today with this action plan, we reassert the trut

you won't often hear me say "amen" to something george miller says, but this time i want to say amen because i think his comments are right on. all the comments have been, and i wanted to add mine to that. the speaker pointed out in the leadership meeting the other day this is something that came to his attention 27 years ago. it came to my attention 27 years ago when i was a community college president, and i've been interested in this issue in consolidating workforce development programs and making sure we bring accountability to the programs so that the money that's being spent going directly to services for people who need to develop skills for the jobs that are currently available. and everyone has touched on that. but i also want to emphasize the fact that nothing around here gets done without a lot of collaboration and cooperation, and particularly the hard work of the staff. we get the credit, they get to do a lot more work. i want to particularly acknowledge the staff of our committees for working on this, and i want to thank the speaker for his interest in this also, and fo

to thank chairman klein, the ranking member, george -- chairman kline, and the ranking member, george miller, and ranking member fox for their leadership on this issue. although i will continue to fight for a more comprehensive re-authorization of higher education act, i believe that this bill as well as the other three higher education bills being voted on this week make some key improvements to the higher education act. so with that i urge my colleagues to support the passage of h.r. 5134. i reserve the balance of my time. . i yield about a -- i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from colorado reserves. the gentlelady from north carolina, ms. foxx, is recognized. ms. foxx: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for as much time as she wishes to use. ms. foxx: mr. speaker, the higher education landscape in america is changing to meet the demands of the ever more technologically engaged student population. as well as meeting the needs of adults

thisle amendment -- george miller. this amendment will improve the information provided to first-time student loan borrowers and clarify that borrowers must accept their loan annually after they have completed their counseling. the amendment will also require the director of the institute of education sciences to conduct a study of the impact and effectiveness of the student loan counseling required under this act. this amendment ensures borrowers are getting the information they need prior to making their final decisions on how to pay for their college education. it also ensures policymakers have information on how well financial aid counseling is working, prevent overborrowing and what can be improved to make it even more effective. the underlying bill, which received unanimous support coming out of the committee, will deliver students and parents the tools and information they need to borrow and repay their student loans in a responsible way. this amendment improves the bill. i urge my colleagues to support this ame

george. but let me tell you, sandra miller from burlington, ontario, canada, these are double cut pork chops.herbs. absolutely delicious. and then we have terry from canneca canonsburg, pennsylvania, terri dowd. the thing that makes these ribs really great. she uses a combination of brown sugar, honey and sriracha. >> hot and sweet. that's good. >> so now i'm going to bring a couple of my grilling recipes. >> chicken here. >> backyard barbecued chicken. real simple. so i'm using legs with the thigh attached and what we're going to do is just going to brush them with olive oil. real simple then we'll season them. the thing about barbecued chicken, especially on the grill, george, is that you don't want the heat too hot. >> that's what i was going to ask. whenever i do it, the skin sticks. >> if you get the oil and the thing is you have to preheat the grill as you can see, and what you want to do is you don't want to have the temperature so high because especially when you start applying the barbecue sauce to them, the sugar is going to burn. and that's what -- >> you got to cook it slow. >> le

george? >> thank you, martha. we're joined by steve ganyard. former fighter pilot, pentagon official. and aaron david miller, of the woodrow wilson center. spent most of his career negotiati negotiating. steve, let me begin with you. if israel does decide to go in on the ground, what would this operation look like? how long would it last? i noted that the prime minister told the cabinet this morning, it could take time. >> it could take time. urban combat is the most dirty, nasty kind of combat there is. it takes a long time. the casualties are high on both sides. i think the israelis will do everything they can to stay out of an urban conflict. and keep their troops out of gaza. >> one of the reasons they've been able to hold off so far is the the remarkable success of the iron dome, shooting down the hamas rockets. not a single israeli killed so far. >> iron dome is remarkable. it consists of very sophisticated radar. it is able to detect the missile launches coming in toward israel. it makes the determination if the incoming missiles are going to hit into populated areas. it only lox on to those missiles that could potentially hurt pe

after all, this john boehner, was the one who when george bush proposed no child left behind, worked with john milleria and ted kennedy of massachusetts, senator kennedy. >> don't say that too loud around here, the tea party might revolt against him, right? >> it was a time when we got things done. when we did work together. john boehner was the chairman of the committee. republicans were in charge. but they had frankly, in large number of republicans who were focused on productive work in the congress of the united states. as opposed to opposition for opposition's sake. as opposed to those who simply believe government is bad, and therefore, anything we allow it to do will be negative in its effect. the american public don't believe that. they understand that government has to be a positive effect. not that government is perfect. not that they like everything it does. they know, they need to have a government that is working well, if their country is going to succeed. >> we've seen such a difference between since president obama came to office, those first two years in a flurry of legislative activi

bring in aaron david miller, he served in the state department under president clinton as deputy special middle east coordinator and continued through the first years of the george. bush administration. also author of "the end of greatness." we talked about the security council and what they did just a few hours ago. what impact could that statement have on what's happening on the ground? >> none. flat-out none. we've seen this terrible horrific movie, t.j., at least twice before. in '08 and '09. it took three weeks and the israelis unilaterally declared cease-fear in response to try to stop hamas's high trajectory rocket fire. that operation took one week, and the egyptians with american encouragement brokered a cease-fire. so at best, you're looking at an end state that really is not going to solve the problem. and the reality is these crises have ebb and flows, only when the parties are ready, truly ready and amenable to de-escalation and to standing down are you going to be able to stop this, and right now, i don't think they are. >> does anyone -- you said when the parties are ready, is there anyone who is in anybody's ear right now, trying to nudge them th
