the first mother's house congress has ended. final ceremony of the first national mourning of fatimi songs was held as a mother's house congress with the presence of praisers, singers, prominent national ritual poets and national officials. our mother's name is fatima, salam fatima.

uh, in the composition of the lower house of congress does not change anything? it seems to me that today's accusations of the administration of huge billions of pumps. uh, the zelensky regime and weapons. they are more related more related to cross-party parsing. kami no more, so uh, it seems to me that if today the republicans if they were in power, it is absolutely impossible to say that they would stop assisting the zelensky regime. that's what i don't understand. i don’t understand what looks like a lack of some kind of pragmatism and strategic logic uh in washington well , you uh, i mentioned robert gates uh, a very experienced person and, frankly, far from stupid and talented in many respects. and if you remember, he was one of those people that you said had doubts about the expansion. nato precisely because he was afraid of those very the consequences that we see. today, i also heard a lot about the fact that the main challenge to the united states today is not russia and china. do you know, this expression trap thucydides gromalison, which you know well,

congress has ended, the final ceremony of the first national mourning of fatimi songs as a mother's house congress, with the presence of praisers, songwriters and prominent national ritual poets and national officials held the name of the mother of imam fatima, salam fatimah, salam my mother, salam pashte, the defense of the shrine to the shrine of allah and the verses of qadr zahra, the words that came from the heart and were now on the tongues, an important event that has been happening in these years is that fatimah it is like muharram for him works of art are produced, and whether it is in the field of lamentation of people without indicators and their faces , it can be an inspiration for the youth, it can be a role model , how is today's eulogy, art is a combination of beauty art , another beauty art is both beauty and beautification. ahl al-bayt and ahl al-bayt sarodan won a special award for the work on the proud martyr of islam, hajj qasim soleimani. my work in this area is the chosen work of choosing the topic of survival in the country, the beating heart of the flow of the delegation, an

start the basic mechanics of of this address, this is an annual event of state allegedly two houses of congress convene in chamber of the house of representatives. the diplomatic is present. the joint chiefs are there. the justices of the supreme court are in attendance. the first lady enters respectful applause. and then the most important part for me is the following following. the first speaker, the president of the united states. why do we think that particular clip is so exciting? me not only because it would appear to be an awesome job aspiration for me, think that i could belt out. mr. speaker, president of the united states with good amount of ease. what it what are those words indicate to us us? i know it's so short and it's so it's not the the thing that people are waiting for. but there's something that clip that helps us to understand our constitutional system. the fact that he is announced by the house sergeant at arms indicates that this is not the president's domain this is not his house. he comes by. he is escorted before this happens. the speaker of the house of representatives

neither house, during the session of congress, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other place than that in which the two houses shall be sitting. the senators and representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the treasury of the united states. they shall in all cases, except treason, felony, and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective houses, and in going to and returning from the same, and for any speech or debate in either house, they shall not be questioned in any other place. no senator or representative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the united states, which shall have been created, or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time, and no person holding any office under the united states, shall be a member of either house during his continuance in office. mr. cline: i yield to the gentleman from texas, mr. moran. mr

calls for reform, a lot of focus on the george floyd justice and policing act that passed the house last congress and did not pass the senate. what does that do in if that had been passed, is there anything in that that would have prevented what happened here? guest: i was disappointed that the george floyd justice in policing act stalled in the u.s. senate. it's not perfect legislation. we all know that. i certainly didn't think it was perfect. there were some areas that i didn't necessarily agree with. but we needed to do something. legislation seldom protects anyone and with developing national standards, that will help give police departments the tools they need. we have over 18,000 law enforcement agencies in our country. god bless the men and women who do the job right every day. it is a tough job. we have police department's that are 36000 and as few as 10 or less than that. i believe developments of national standards in terms of hiring and training, in terms of the proper use of what meant especially those coming from the federal government are good things. modifying policies -- hiring t

affordable housing crisis. congress mice acts simultaneously by investing in affordable housing supply as a long term solution, while also enacting policies in the immediate to reduce costs in the here and now. mr. mitchell, experts agree that the limited supply of affordable housing is the root cause of housing inflation. can you explain what you must address it? >> absolutely, absolutely, congressman. to your point, exactly what you said, many folks at the housing say the rent eats first. what this means, housing as, the single largest budget item for households and for low income families accounting for more than half of their budgets, it means that they have that much harder of a time rents by baking ends meet. they become that much closer to eviction and homelessness. this is especially true for black and brown owners, renters for roughly one in five black renters last month reported that their household was behind on rent payments. it's imperative that we address the housing affordability crisis. >> thank you, i c

i believe we'll hear a message that's rooted in discussing the various ways in which the house democratic congress, working in tandem with our colleagues in the senate and with the white house, have delivered for the american people. delivered in terms of historic job growth. delivered in terms of lowering health care costs. delivered for veterans in enacting historic health benefits for our nation's veterans. delivered on bipartisan gun safety violence prevention legislation that was enacted just last year. there remain big challenges and big opportunities for us to address and we look forward to working with the president in the months and the years ahead to do precisely that. but, of course, there is no one who has worked harder to deliver for the american people here in the house of representatives than our distinguished leader of the democratic caucus, who reminds us time and time again that our work is not finished and that it's important for us to finish the job as we work to ensure that working families across our country are represented. and so we're very, very grateful to have him here t

affordable housing crisis. so congress must act spontaneously -- simultaneous as a long-term solution will also enacting policies in the immediate to reduce costs in the here and now. experts agree the limited supply for the housing is the root cause of housing inflation. can you explain why we must address it? >> absolutely. to your point exactly what you said, many folks in the housing advocacy space say the rent eats first. what this means is housing as the single largest budget under households and for low-income femmes accounted for almost half of their budgets, and means them that much harder of a time when rents increase, of making ends meet, and they come that closer to election and homelessness. this is especially true for black and brown renters who are roughly one in five lakh renters last month reported their household was behind on rent payments. so it's absolutely imperative we address the housing affordability crisis. >> thank you. i certainly agree in this committee under did aquatic -- under democratic lea

guest: it is very rare to expel a member of congress, but it is something that has happened in u.s. it is very rare. on the house side you have to go back to the representative from ohio, a democrat who was kicked out of congress because of a myriad number of things he had done that were illegal -- host: but he was kicked out after he was indicted. guest: absolutely. you have to do something so egregiously wrong in congress where it gets to the point where it is being debated among your colleagues as to whether you should still continue to serve as a elected member of congress or be kicked out of the body. incredibly rare. there have been censures and reprimands, fines, other types of penalties and sanctions that have been issued over the years. but as we just talked about, very rare on the senate side in modern history come out more on the house side but it is a protracted process on both the house and the senate side were sometimes it may take years before ultimately one of the ethics committees comes to a conclusion on a member and they have -- no longer have jurisdiction if a member leaves. if somebody resig

house democrats. they had full control of congress. now they are looking at a divided congress. they are looking at republican control in the house. the message will not be the same one of optimism. it will be "how do we get back the house in 2024?" host: in past years republicans failed similar policy conferences. are they planning to do the same thing this year? guest: they will be in orlando at the end of. march they have regained control of the house. they are looking at 2024. it will be interesting who the speakers are. last year kevin mccarthy avoided inviting trump. we will see what happens. host: what can you tell us about the agenda this week for the house in particular. but legislation should we be on the lookout for? guest: this week because of the house democratic retreat is a lighter legislative week. we will see some resolutions in support of aid and helping out the communities in turkey and syria that have suffered from that devastating earthquake. the select committee on china will be their biggest offering this week. host: farnoush amiri is our guest. we welcome

congress. the house and senate are coming in today. in this short week what are the things you're looking at? >> guest: it's a shorter week , ias i begin wednesday but this is the first week after a two week recess. obviously house and senate are catching up on the news of the week especially the ohio train derailment is an area of focus. members of both parties, both chambers looked into it. obviously with different lenses and different angles but i think that's one thing we're going to stay on. >> host: one of your pieces with your colleague lisa mascaro said house gop casts a wide net in probes in terms of oversight. what of those hearings will we see this week eventhough it is a short week ? >>. >> guest: the main offering is going to be the committee. obviously this is something that started in a bipartisan fashion with 100 democrats voted to create this committee but we're really going to see that test ofthat bipartisanship this week . they're going to have officials come and testify. some chinese dissidents come testify but this

after house democrats unanimously voted for ilhan to continue her service on the foreign affairs committee. a refugee elected to the united states congress, duly sent back to the house by her constituents in minnesota. now representative omar certainly has made mistakes. she has used anti-semitic tropes that were clearly and unequivocally condemned by house democrats. when it took place four years ago. so i just want to briefly explore that timeline. on february 10, 2019, representative omar tweeted, it's all about the benjamins, baby. a reference, apparently, to a pack of pro-israel lobbying group that i and many others have worked closely with and will continue to do so in support of the special relationship between the united states and israel. a relationship that i strongly support, i'll support that special -- i support that special relationship today, i'll support that special relationship tomorrow, next week, next month, next year and into the future. because the special relationship between the united states and israel is rooted in shared values, shared strategic interests and my heartfelt belief that israel has a right to exist

reasons, across the ocean, the republicans got a slight advantage in the lower house of congress in theentatives and all they can afford is as they promised to start an audit with the help of ukraine and at the same time zelensky yes, he really puts on a show because that they fire deputy ministers, they fire people who do not answer in the first place. well, it depends from my point of view. uh, the mess in the ministry of defense should be received by the minister of defense, respectively, he would have to fly, then the sacristan oligarchs have long been an eyesore to zelensky. he does not intend to share power and considers kolomoisky one of the main threats, who remembers the president of ukraine as just a comedian on stage on his salary. and now zelensky is taking revenge, he opened the black accounting of ukrnavta and ukrtat nafta kilograms of documents, dozens of seals from various companies. under one scheme, companies did not list the state's excise tax on gasoline, while priced to consumers. he was laid under suspicion by the chief accountant. the first deputy head of the boar

speech was interrupted by shouts from the seats from the republicans, who control the lower house of congress . low level throughout his presidency. well, as for the economy that the americans faced in them, joe biden, in the course of his speech, blamed anyone but his own administration. the us president also touched on the topic of relations with china. by the way, experts predicted that biden would pay more attention to china in connection with the incident with the chinese balloon platoon. however, it was brief, the main idea of ​​​​the states is set for serious economic competition before i came to power decided that china america's prestige in the world is declining now, i made it clear to the xi chairman that we are looking for competition, not conflict. i will not apologize for what we are investing in making america strong, the funds go into american innovation in industries that will define the future and in which the government. china deliberately dominate in regards to the energy sector. joe biden said the need for oil and gas in the us will continue to be high in the coming years

fired the trump-appointed architect of the capitol, the person who oversees the grounds that houses congressssentially over what the white house said were abuses of his office. what do we know about these allegations? >> reporter: yeah. this was really a long-time coming. the former architect of the capitol was found in this ig report last fall as basically having some ethical lapses. that's what was alleged in the report. all really came to a head last week because the house administration's committee held this hearing where republicans and democrats really grilled him about a couple of issues, both the ethical lapses alleged in the ig report but also the fact that he was not at the capitol on january 6th. this led to a lot of lawmakers calling for his ouster, including the house speaker, kevin mccarthy. then yesterday joe biden made the decision to terminate him. >> yeah. bipartisan agreement there which is rare. lauren fox, thank you for that update. >>> this morning -- well, straight ahead, sorry. the white house's john kirby live on "cnn this morning." what new details we're going to le

speech was interrupted by shouts from the seats from the republicans, who control the lower house of congress approval rating is at the lowest level of his entire presidency. well, as for the problems in the economy that the americans faced in them, joe biden, during his speech, blamed anyone but his own administration. in the process cannot be avoided, because after all, celsius is not only in our country today in america, but in principle in the world, if we talk about the us public debt, then, and today it is about 136% in gdp or e, 31 trillion dollars, that is, this is a huge amount, which, uh, let’s say, uh , it’s quite difficult to reduce it’s quite difficult touched on the us president and the topic of relations with china by the way, experts predicted that biden would pay more attention to china in connection with the incident with the chinese balloon platoon. however, it was brief. the main idea is that the states are set for serious economic competition. before i came to power, i decided that china was increasing its power, and america's authority in the world was declining now , i

never change and it is bipartisan efforts ukrainians have the support of both parties in both houses of congress and they have the support of the white house the vast majority of lawmakers in the house of representatives and the senate support victory in ukraine overwhelming most americans support a victory in ukraine we are doing it out of charitable intentions but we are also doing it in our own american interests a peaceful europe is vital to the economic and security interests of the united states of america thank you to my colleagues from the democratic and republican parties for they are here for both the representatives of the house of representatives and the senate, victory for ukraine is jumping. thank you for such information , for your analysis, i will remind you that it was kateryna who contacted us from the capitol hill lisunova we talk a lot about military and other support from the united states, but if you look at which of the countries gave the most help to ukraine in relation to its gdp, one of the leaders is latvia, only recently this country handed over to the balan armed for

reasons, across the ocean, the republicans got a slight advantage in the lower house of congress in theouse of representatives and all they can afford is like they promised to start an audit with the help of ukraine and at the same time zelensky who don't respond in the first place. well, that is, from my point of view, for the whole uh, the mess in the ministry of defense should be received by the minister of defense, accordingly, then the lesnik, the oligarchs, would have been an eyesore to zelensky for a long time. he does not intend to share power and considers kolomoisky one of the main threats, who remembers the president of ukraine as just a comedian on stage on his salary. and now zelensky is taking revenge by opening the black bookkeeping of the ukrnavta and stealing kilograms of documents from dozens of seals from various companies. under one scheme , companies did not list the state's excise tax on gasoline, while priced to consumers. it was laid down here by the chief accountant's suspicion. at krotatnauts of the first deputy head of the board in the framework of the crimina

this, not an individual member of congress was basically forced to travel on own to see if he could safeguard his constituents. but the leo ryan was an example of a house member who was the target of a political assassination as well, that these were individual. that's ryan, robert kennedy huey long but there also have been what amounts to instant to tional violence against congress itself. we obviously have experienced something like this and in the very recent past with the with the january 6th insurrection. but another example and and without a doubt, i think the highest profile example came in the mid-19th fifties when a group of puerto rican independence activists engaged in an act of political terrorism and shoot five members of congress from the floor of the house chambers. puerto rican. today is something you know, there's a divide between advocates of puerto rican statehood and advocates of the current commonwealth status. but during 1930s there was a quite prominent and increasingly quite radical puerto rican independ dence movement and the shooters in the in the 1954 attack are part of that approach. bill goodwin was was a i house page offic

but the white house points out that can be difficult. it will require republicans in congressstop getting in the way of ensuring our justice system lives up to its name. republicans like missouri senator josh hawley say they want to get more support for police. i'd like to see 100,000 more cops on the street. i'd like to see pay raises for cops and missouri and all across the country. that's the kind of policy. but i'd like to focus on. now. the white house says congress needs to consider banning choke holds restricting no-knock warrants and requiring the use of body cams. >> reporting live in washington. i'm basil, john. all right, basil, thanks for that update. well, still to come on the kron, 4 morning news, a local astronaut. >> takes a walk in space will break down the historic moment after the break. we'll be right back. well, history made in space. the bay nicole mann. >> is the first native american woman in space thursday morning. she spent 7 hours floating in space. so cool, preparing the space station for solar panel upgrades before she became an astronaut and joine

after the president submits the budget proposal to congress, each agency generally provides additional detailed justification materials to the house and senate appropriations subcommittees with jurisdiction over its funding. so in step two, congress adopts a budget resolution. made a reference to budget enforce. or limits for appropriations measures. under the congressional budget process enforcement has both statutory and procedural elements. so for example, in prior years, in statutory elements, derived from the budget control act of 2011, were imposed that limited discretionary spending for each fiscal year from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2021. so the procedural elements of budget enforcement generally stem from requirements under the congressional budget act of 1974 or the c.b.a. so the budget resolution is congress' response to the president's budget. it's a concurrent resolution but it's not law. it's an agreement between the house and senate that establishes the overall budgetary and fiscal policy to be carried out by subsequent legislation. and through the c.b.a. process the appropriations che in each chamber as well

following the road map previously approved by the democrat-controlled 117th congress we are here today to debate and to consider house resolution 76, a resolution to remove representative omar from serving on the committee on foreign affairs. today's resolution, as it relates to representative omar, details six statements she made as a sitting member of congress that under the totality of the circumstances disqualify her from serving on the committee on foreign affairs. it is important to note that this resolution is very narrowly tailored and does not present -- does not prevent representative omar from serving on other committees. house resolution 76 instead simply states that she cannot serve on a committee that receives classified briefings and is responsible for maintaining international diplomacy. the committee on foreign affairs is a prestigious committee viewed by nations around the world, both allies and adversaries, as speaking for congress on matters of international importance and national security. all members, both republican and democrats alike who seek to serve on foreign affairs should be held to the

a little history we can lean on for that question, a democratic president losing one of the houses of congress at midterm, happened to obama with the senate, happened to clinton with the house. it was worse for bill clinton in his '95 state of the union. biden barely lost the house. clinton's democrats took a shellacking in their midterms. then a republican sitting over the president's shoulder, speaker for the first time since 1956. and, yes, this is where political scientists say clinton really began his successful run for re-election, a second term. we don't know if biden is running for a second term, but he has done a good job with the economy, lowest unemployment rate in 60 years, job growth, wage growth, and inflation is coming down. here's the president on friday. >> today i'm happy to report that the state of the union and the state of our economy is strong. we learned this morning that the economy has created 517,000 jobs just last month. more than half a million jobs in just the month of january. >> now, we haven't seen the speech, but the to when you say does brief us on themes in t

later today, both houses of congress are going to get classified briefing to figure out to explain to lawmakers who were didn't shoot it down fast enough. what exactly do we know about these things. we know a little bit that it's been revealed in open source reporting the balloons are apparently controlled by the people's lynn enter ration army which is the chinese military. >> brian: sounds like a wonderful group. >> steve: they have got, just before that b blew up. it had solar panels more power than a flight balloon. wind patterns it had rutters and propellers. "the washington post" says we don't note size of the balloon fleet; however, there have been dozens of missions since 2018 and apparently the balloons are built by a technical company in china. >> ainsley: yeah. they said it's not a weather research balloon like beijing is saying. >> brian: really? >> ainsley: used for espionage and china refuses to name the company or entity that owns this flight. so, house and senate being briefed. it's going to be a classified briefing. and then the u.p.s. also held briefings in washingto

congress in my view. do senators do do of the members of the house come in knowing they don't know everything, knowing they don't know enough, knowing they don't know a lot. they may have specific areas of expertise. do come in realizing the importance staff in congress. well i don't know think probably you had a great staff. yeah, we did yeah i very fortunate that we had great, great people for us and and you know, i think it's it's like general populace. some folks, they know it all some some they don't know it all. and the ones that realize they don't know at all in my view become the better legislators because, you know, everything's changing so fast and the issues that come up for consideration in congress are changing all the time. and, you know, you're constantly trying to catch up with get enough information to make intelligent decision on on all the issues that you're being presented with, even from a little state like new mexico. and you and senator were both powerful members of the united states senate. you brought a lot to new mexico. you brought a lot of obviously notoriety, a lot of attention

george floyd act could not pass in the wake of his death and with democrats controlling both houses of congress, it is not going to pass now. is there something else that leadership can do to get us a different place? yamiche: you talk about the stalemate. jim jordan surprised me because he said police misconduct is a weaponization of the government. i had to do a double take. but he also said in the same breath he cannot think of any law that would happen what -- stop what happens to tyre nichols. >> defined pole misconduct? for a republican like jim jordan, it would be the fbi rating mar-a-lago -- raiding mar-a-lago. it would be capitol police officers roughing up anyway six protesters. that is part of the problem that we have in washington. people are talking past each other. even these things we think would be basic knowledge that we all agree upon like police brutality or law enforcement run amok, different americans have different definitions of those. those members are speaking specifically only to those constituents. the second you start talking about police reform, the first thing repu
