i hope we get greater cooperation but everybody should anticipate we will be here as i announced today. i will not answer every hypothetical. if they are interested in sending us bills multiple bills at a time that would certainly help to facilitate passage. [inaudible] >> what i'm in favor of is getting bills passed that we have to do r the country. we are open to amendments and we will see what happens as they move across the floor we have the farm bill, all these appropriation bills not to meioth nominations. as contentious as that is likely to be, we will see that you are suggesting it could be offered as an amendment we will see what is offered. [inaudible] >> at a have any comment on that issue. [inaudible] >> i know what you are interested in discussing and i will just tell you from my perspective, i don't think the president needs any advice to pardon himself and he obviously knows that but that is not something that he would or should do a to enter in an academic discussion of it is possible i don't know the answer to that. with attorney general sessions as a former colleague

think would certainly juste good for our country looking at it from a kentucky point of view. -- i hoped bourbon this will all be avoided and i am optimistic that it may be avoided. i sure hope so. >> what do you think are some of the positive comments president trump has about the north korean leader? >> on north korea, we all hope this will lead to something, we all know for sure that the approach is tried in the past, the clinton administration, bush, obama, they did not achieve the desirable result which is to have a denuclearize korean peninsula. president has been able to take another look at a different approach and we will see what we can work out. that ifption is something has worked out, congress will have a role to play in proving either a treaty or an agreement that is ultimately reached. [indiscernible] >> ok, thank you, everybody. i want to thank senators menendez and kunz for being here with me. tension is obviously on north korea and that is what my colleagues will discuss.

i hope that congress make sure that we follow through so that children are reunited. hello? for taking my call. i have a couple of quick questions. do any of the bills being considered have anything in them that parents who brought these children in through no fault of their own, will the parents face any prosecution or justice for the american taxpayers? we know the agreement about these children is that they are from mexico. they will be turned back. i believe that is why the central americans are coming up. they know they will not be immediately turned back like mexicans well. the third thing is, specific invasion into our country. if we look at where the drugs are coming, human trafficking, can't the president issue, view this as a threat to national security? could the president declared the order a demilitarized sown and we would have to view this as an act of war? i would be interested in what your guest has to say. i want to increased romantically the number of immigration judges so these cases can be decided as quickly as possible. where those have come into this cou

i hope to do that. i know prime minister abe and president moon have told me very strongly that they're going to go and they will help them economically tremendously. japan has a tremendous stake and so do they. we are very far away. very, very far away. japan will be helping. i believe china will be helping economically also. i think china wants to see something very good happen, very positive happen. certainly south korea has stated their intentions. a lot of good factors lined up for north korea. a lot of tremendous factors to give it tremendous potential. the people are great. we would certainly like to see normalization. yes. >> prime minister abe, if i can address you as well. we now he important an issue the abductees is for you. president trump said at mar-a-largo in your last meeting that it's a very important issue for him. we know about the medium range ballistic missiles. did you get an assurance from president trump that he would address both of those in his first meeting with kim? >> today

i would hope to do that. i know that prime minister abe and president moon have told me strongly that they are going to go and they will help them economically tremendously. japan has a tremendous state and so today. we on the other hand are very far away, very, very far away japan will be helping. i believe china will be helping economically also. >> if i want to see something good happen, very positive and certainly south korea has already stated their intentions, they will be helpful so a lot of good factors lineup for north korea. a lot of tremendous factors that give it tremendous potential. it has tremendous potential because the people are great and we would certainly like to see normalization, yes. >> prime minister abe, if i could address you as well we know one important issue is for you , president from say mar-a-lago during the last meeting that it's important issue for him as well. did you get an assurance from president trump that he would address both of those in his first meeting with kim and m

i hope the leader does in fact bring a bill to the floor quickly and in fact, i would hope that the suggestion that had been made by many members of his party and mine to bring four options to the floor seems absolutely consistent with the speaker's pledge to take the tough issues head on. that is bring the democratic bill that's co-sponsored by ms. -- by one of the senior republicans, ileana ros-lehtinen to the floor. bring the goodlatte bill which has been reported out of the republican judiciary committee to the floor. bring a bill co-sponsored by mr. hurd and mr. action lar to the floor. -- and mr. aguilar to the floor, and then what we hope is the speak every can bring a bill to the floor of his choosing. what could be fairer than that, to let the people's house speak on this critically important issue? so i would hope the gentleman would facile tit that coming to the floor. lastly, mr. speaker, let me say that this is the most closed congress in history. talks about coming to his office and i have and we have worked constructively and positively together and i have great respect for the

that i'm a flawed human i hope like we all recognize that we are and i i meant what i said about the inspector general i respect their work i respect their criticism you just don't agree that any well that's a fair number of things i said i agree with but the two big criticisms are about the two most important decisions i made and i'd be lying if i said that i think that criticism as accurate i do think it's fair though and reasonable. what about the criticism that really jumped off the page with the bombs revelation that you used a private e-mail account in violation of official protocol now from who spent a year and a half investigating hillary clinton's handling of her own e-mail isn't this. it's not but it does reflect the fact that folks don't realize what clinton investigation was about it wasn't about her use of a non-governmental e-mail system it was about her handling of classified information and that's a very important best occasion but totally different from whether you're using a g. mail which i was using the e-mail perhaps of speeches to myself was never any accusation

so i would hope that we could bring that before this committee. cruz, talked with senator his office is trying to draft something. i have offered to work with him if it could mean we could bring our sides together. i am very much of the view that we now have every member on this side of the aisle, on a bill and i would like to ask you, most especially, if you would calendar it soon. we cannot let this go on the way it is. i would very much appreciate that. >> if you let me answer that -- i think we know what needs to be done. i think a hearing and action by this committee will slow things down. i think we're moving on pieces of legislation including yours, bipartisan work going on, there is partisan work going on, your project started out that way, there is discussion going on among republicans, i think we will have something put together that we can consider this week. >> good. good. i really appreciate that. thank you very much. yesterday was a particularly hard day for somebody people. i've heard from so many people about it. fore are really no

i hope i calling us on the other side of the aisle will also. i know you've discussed in your experience. you have done that from the time that you were in school since the tax compliance especially with respect to the earned income tax credit which is one of the most important parts of the tax law and the rewards for work to the low to moderate income workers and every march or april lots of literally hundreds of thousands who make 20 or 30 or 40,000 a year because of this refundable tax credit of things you know will get a check of two or $3,000 which at that income is very, very significant obviously. they have a 93% accuracy rate and really the gold standard. describe for us because i think it is important to have an irs commissioner that those practices that care. tell us about your experience and reassure all of us on this committee that you will work to make sure they have the resources they need to meet the demand for their service. the service. >> i'm a huge proponent. it serves two purposes. the taxpayers of this site is providing free

applause i hope i'll go on doing this always. care, so much attention. i also want other people to have the same as i have. i hope that i've given whatever i can do but i also know how much kindness i've had — that it's made it easier to deal with what i've had to deal with. jess: she always says, "this is not about me, "this is about everyone else." and she absolutely means it. and it's true, it isn't... this is about everybody else. it has to be. the scan went really well. the results are very good. they explained to me that its stable. so they're going to let me continue with the chemo tablets. round five, here we come, really, isn't it? yeah. he just wants to go. he says he's fed up of fighting. and i'm trying to sort of persuade him that, no, it's not time. maybe something will happen to get rid of it. maybe within the next month somebody will find a cure, maybe they won't. but i live in the hope that they will. on the 12th may, a week after we last filmed, tessa died. the next day, the government doubled its funding into bra

>> well, i have many ideas, but i think the very next book i'm hoping will be a companion to "a visitrom the goon squad," which never really felt done exactly. i mean there were things i tried that didn't work. the powerpoint chapter went in at the last minute. and there are peripheral characters i'm actually interested in pursuing. so i'm hoping that i can use some of the same structural approaches and come up with a book that stands on its own and is different from "goon squad" rather than just a kind of weaker echo. that's actually a tall order. we'll see if i can pull that off because i don't want to just write a book that's not as good. but if it can be its own thing and yet use some new kind of structural approaches that i'm curious about and follow peripheral characters that i'm curious about, it might be fun. >> tall order and very brave. and as you say, fun. good, good, we'll look forward to that. jennifer egan, thank you so much for joining us. >> what a pleasure. thank you. >> i hope you enjoyed those conversations tonight with two fascinating women making serious waves. an

>> i don't have any particular reaction to g-7 meeting other than to i'm among those who hope that we don't end up in a full scale trade war, which i think would certainly not be good for our country. just looking at i from a kentucky point of view, farmers and bourbon, so i hope this will all be avoided. i'm optimistic that that -- that it may be avoided. i sure hope so. >> what do you think of some of the positive comments president trump had to describe the north korean leader? >> well, look, on north korea, we all hope this will lead to something. we all know for sure that the approaches tried in the past by the clinton administration, the bush administration, the obama administration did not achieve the desirable result, whichs to have a denuclearized korean peninsula so i'm happy the president has been able to take another look at a different approach and we'll see what we can work out. and my assumption is as i said earlier that if something has worked out, congress will have a role to play in it by approving either a treaty or some kind of agreement that's ultimately reached.

sanctions played a big role but they'll come off at that point i hope it's going to be soon but they'll come off they as you know and as i've said the sanctions right now remain but at a certain point i actually look forward to taking them off and they'll come off when we we know way down the road where it's not going to happen nothing's going to happen ok yes go ahead please thank you mr thank you waste this is for thank you very much congratulations to everybody by the way congratulations to everybody because you signed a document with john it's essentially a piece of paper yesterday we were briefing from the secretary of state like ohio and said the following many presidents previously aside all four pieces of paper only to find that the north koreans either didn't promise for thought they had or actually all those promises what makes this time get well you have a different administration you have a different president you have a different secretary of state you have people that are you know it's very important to them and we get it done the other groups maybe it wasn't a priority i

thought,ore i left, i i hope he offers me a job. d: did your friends tell this was not a good idea? tim: they thought i was nuts. [laughter] again, conventional wisdom is you are working for the top computer maker in the world. why would you ever leave? u areer ahead. it wasn't a decision you could sit down and do the engineering kind of analysis saying here are the pluses and minuses, because thatnasialwaysay your heads voice in saying, go west, young man, the west. david: despite the fact there was no state income tax in taxes, you said the west. you said this was the best financial decision of your life, i assume? tim: maybe the best decision. i'm not sure you have to put professional in that. david: steve could not continue to be the ceo. was my thought at that time he was going to be chairan wouldo that forever. unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way. ♪ ♪ david: so you gohere and what is your job at apple? tim: running worldwide operations. the company at that time was struggling in different areas. did notomies of scale len

i hope to keep talking to you as you keep doing an excellent job. not only for massachusetts but for the country. [applause] now, i have to confess. being here has felt a little bit like an episode of that old t.v. show, this is your life. but today's conversation could not have come at a more important moment. transformation of our economy, politics and culture is happening in real time. i recently reread the famous lines from charles dickens, and a tale of two cities. but i have not focused on them and quite a number of years. just remember how it went. it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. it was the epoch of belief, the epic of incredulity.it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness. it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. dickens was obviously writing about the years leading up to the french revolution. but he could have been describing the ricocheting highs and lows of this moment in america. because we are living through a time when fundament

i already feel this way, that's i hope how i work. but what we did is i merely go back to washington. i wonder if there's ever been a book tour in washington but we are going to do an event to share stories with people who live them. you could say the same for sudan or somalia. to i just because one more person taking? how do people benefit for having their stories told? >> so you'll go back and do a reading. >> on june 20 i'll be in washington. >> are you nervous? >> yes but that's my responsibility so i will stand up and do it. >> your anxious about how your book will be received and how the critics will review it. in the end, the most anxious about what you have written about. i suspect while you have read the book for stacy you have not read it for everybody. a number of other substantial characters. there are really differing points of view. that was my responsibility, to make sure i went out and got those points of view. that requires that people keep talking. a remarkable character ran a barber salon and he is a cattle farmer.

during the meeting as a korean i have the impression that he has the will to give up the weapon to say i hope the u.s. or summit to prove. good agreement just. models . they expect something real positive based on the interference from a few weeks ago i would like to do something great such as a declaration to end the korean war. so my boss was because. sometimes sign and his wife come to the national cemetery in seoul to find his brother's name on the wall of missing soldiers. even though chancellor bach is no longer missing they don't want his name deleted saul was his home they say and they hope that maybe one day his children in north korea can come here to. stay back to our top story that historic meeting between the leaders of the united states i'm north korea how did we get here when it started with insults and then an agreement to meet followed by a cancellation under a restart let's take a longer look at the this unexpected series of events that has led us to today. two unpredictable leaders two nations with a hostile past the world watch as north korea's kim jong un and u.s. preside

yes i. hope i. hope for is going to. look. like hitler. ok. ok ok ok ok ok. you. got a big. problem. ok. ok ok ok ok ok ok. ok. ok ok ok. i'm going ok i'm going. to have. i love you was a little bit of the if you didn't know what you did a lot of important ok is that i. i i i i i i i i i i. i i i got. i. thank you. because. it was. one of. those look i think. oh oh oh oh oh. oh oh. oh oh but a girl with a liberal but. now you can see that. but to give you can you tell us a lot of weight. and the way we're going to. look at us if. you look at the look right here right now. look. look look look look. look look look look look look look. look look look look look look look look look look. look. look. look look look . you. look at somebody you know if i look up and say i would not mind if i got a. document from. the markets i'm going to be examining my uncle gone to visit him a good nearly twenty block on the day i don't know the. source of much of the commute is ok. because. of the pictures i'm getting of them getting me a good book to get a little bit of knowledge of but if you

people were being on the job -- i hope he will remain on the job. [inaudible] [inaudible conversations] i want to thank my colleagues from the great state of rhode island for joining me here. as you just heard from e majority leade we will be spending a considerable amount of time here in august. we democrats welcomes this additional time because it gis us the opportunity to address the issue that is on the top of the mind of so many of the american people and one that republicans have badly miss handled up to this point. healthcare. we welcome the opportunity and we will work very hard in august to require republican colleagues to do something about it. in the months ahead here in the nation capital premiums for the american people will be rising across the country as well. summer is the time to act. as you have seen over the last few weeks, state after state has announced healthcare premium increases in each and every time the insurers blame the trump administration and congressional republicans for those hikes. this gives them time to reverse the

i hope. after this presidential term will you leave politics or stay in power as prime minister or party which would you prefer it does not matter at all i am interested in what you prefer. my presidential term has just begun i'm only at the beginning of this journey so let's not jump ahead. an iraqi court has sentenced a french woman to life in prison sparing her the death penalty for joining the islamic state terror group now good year was captured last year in mosul and sentenced to seven months in prison for entering the country illegally after the end of that sentence she was due to be deported home to france but prosecutors or prosecutors excuse me demanded a retrial saying that she violated the country's anti-terrorism law by following her husband to iraq they say that he went there to join islamic state now out of the almost two thousand people from france that went to fight with the terror group it is believed many were radicalized while serving time in french prisons with the authori

we certainly hope to do that. i know prime minister abe and president moon have told me very strongly that they are going to go and they will help them economically tremendously. japan has a tremendous stake and so do they. we on the other hand are very far way. we're very, very far away. i believe japan will be helping. i believe china will help economically. china wants to see something very good happen, very positive happen. and certainly south korea has already stated their intentions, they will be very helpful. there are a lot of good factors lined up for north korea. a lot of tremendous factors that give it tremendous potential. it has tremendous potential because the people are great. and we would certainly like to see normalization. yes. >> prime minister abe, if i could address you as well. we know how important an issue the abductees is for you, president trump said it at mar-a-lago during your last meeting it's an important issue for him. did you get an assurance from president trump he would address both

so i would hope that we could bring that before this committee. i also talked with senator cruz, his office is trying to draft something. i have offered to work with him if it could mean we could bring our sides together. i am very much of the view that we now have every member on this side of the aisle, on a bill and i would like to ask you, most especially, if you would calendar it soon. it seems to me we just can't let this go on the way it is. i would very much appreciate that. >> if you let me answer that before you go on. i think think we know what needs to be done. i think a hearing and action by this committee will slow things down. i think we're moving on pieces of legislation including yours, bipartisan work going on, there is partisan work going on, yr project started out that way, there is discussion going on among republicans, i think we are going to have something put together that we can consider this week. >> good. good. i really appreciate that. thank you very much. yesterday was a particularly hard day for so many people. i've hea

if north korea is watching, and i hope that you are, take that deal. it would be good. this time around, are you agreeing that we are running out of peaceful options? >> i do. i think the north koreans appreciate that we are serious about accomplishing the things that they have put on the table. these are things we have said we would do. the president made a commitment along those lines, i am willing to suspend that exercise, but i am not ok with withdrawing troops from south korea because they are a stabilizing force for the region and i do not want thank you very much for what you are doing at for our country. [laughter] wiese broke briefly about this and a number of us and spoke with king abdullah from jordan. conversation we had. senator graham was there, too. a normal contribution is somewhere between $350 million-$400 million. in jordan, lebanon, the west bank, gaza. the alternative, the u.n.r.a. schools, they are schools run by hamas. instead of the blue flag, we would see the black and green flag. what do we do here? we have seen this over the years and there hav

i hope that members will understand that when we have a vote, this vote was over 60 minutes. there were some commentary during this. i understand that. but certainly we can do better than that in behalf of our farmers, ranchers, and growers and the great state of texas. at any rate, thank you very much and we'll be back to you just as quickly as we can. i know people have very important schedules to meet. i would yield to the distinguished ranking member. ms. stabenow: thank you. mr. president -- the presiding officer: the senator from michigan. ms. stabenow: just to join with chairman roberts, we are very close to a final u.c. and to the final vote. we would ask folks to stay close and we hope that we will be able to begin that process shortly with everyone's support and indulgence. so thank you. mr. roberts: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from kansas. mr. roberts: i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk should call the roll. quorum call: senator mr. president? mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from alaska. ms. mu

i hope you consider each of those to be complaint. each one was extremely well formed and was a complaint. you don't need a written form to accept a complaint. i would like to hear very much on what the mayor's office on disability reaction is to both of those. because each one is a very separate important issue. on item number 6, this is such a complicated issue. it's one that no one in this room, except for perhaps the last two speakers have much expertise on, but it's important to all of us around the country these days. people with disabilities lives matter. it's kind of what our take comes down to. i would like to know if a council or mayor's office on disability has goals for the relationship between people with disabilities and the police department and to a lesser extent the sheriff's office in san francisco? i don't know that you do. i would like to think that san francisco was doing better on this than many places are, but i read the paper as you do, i know we're not perfect. we have problems. i think that setting some goals

i hope that he will trust me that i know of what i speak. there can be a division and it will be at the end of the session not now. that is the end of the matter. the prime minister. resume your seat. resume your seat. the house well have heard very clear order my acceptance that there can be a vote on this matter mister linden. i say to you and i say in the kindest possible spirit don't tell me what the procedures of this house are. mister blackbird. order. resume your seat mister blackbird. under the power given to me by stating order number 43 in light of the persistence and repeated refusal. i order the right honorable gentlemen to withdraw immediately from the house. for the remainder of this.

i hope as a city, we can find a way -- i know -- i know senator scott wiener pulled together a commendation of him, but i hope that as a city we can come together to find a way to give credit to this really important cultural force, as we do with all the really incredible cultural forces we have in this wonderful, wonderful city. so any way, rest in peace and thank you for all that you've contributed to the world, larry harvey. any final thoughts? all right. any public comment on our commissioner comments or questions? no one's left to do that, so i'm going to adjourn this meeting. thanks for staying around this long. this meeting's adjourned at 8:53. all right. good morning, ladies and gentlemen. i want to welcome you to the budget and finance committee. we have a late start, hopefully make up as we move forward. apologies, recognize our clerk, mr. victor wong, serving with us today. also recognize adrian starks and michael balthazar. the screens on our desks are not showing the chamber, like a screen saver. never mind. there, we fixed it. no more technical difficulties. let's get on with

i am hopeful. who knows what will happen, but it is a big huge positive step in the right direction. trust but verify with north korea? that seems to be the big question tonight. caller: i do not know. we sort of went down that road 2001 or 2002. in i do not know that we can do that this time with north korea. but, under this president and the way this guy operates, trump will not be made a full love i do not think -- trump will not -- fool of.l i don't think. host: next caller, what do you think so far ricardo? what have you seen? ller: ve seen a lot. i'm 65-years-old. what would make and give up his nuclear weapons and we still have nuclear weapons? it seems like nuclear weapons are very powerful. what would make and give up his nuclear weapons? why would he do that? host: the answer might come from the president. he is scheduled to meet with reporters at about 4:00 in the morning singapore time which would be 4:00 a.m. on the east coast, when :00 for california. a.m. for california. how would you

mow clint had a gun i had no gun i hope put him in the truck and you have no gun. and what were your options oh i'm not going to win now that i think back on about could win i love that easily that's what i think i want my god i just seen this guy kills one person and he could easily say ok i gotta go take care of these people just dismissed all the cops or others. i was thinking of. in the meantime this this victim is moaning in the trunk. so i didn't feel like i need to help this guy more what am i going to do to save him by myself other than contact the authorities he didn't do that either. so i looked at it dude was already dead. whatever sitting in the car thinking i could i can call my own one or i can just inform someone who's the that's why i had said something actually i did say some other hospital isolate me and we get is drop my boss at the mercy for me take off with somebody else person he should of just having a bird out of the camera's on the hospital. there so time i. they stand out there. and. they took him out there sort of creek. and only put him o

i hope i'm wrong and i certainly hope you're right, as you often, often and frequently and regularly are. >> rarely. lou: charles hurt, blushing at the flattery. >>> up next, a huge win for state primary candidates who support president trump and his america first agenda and one of the winners congressional candidate in south carolina, katie hearington. she sent a never trumper down in flames. we'll be talking with katety arrington here next. lou: republicans building considerable momentum heading into the midterm elections, embracing president trump, the trump agenda. last night katie arrington secured more than 50% of the vote in south carolina's house of representatives primary defeating never trumper incumbent open off-time problem for the president, mark sanford. president trump tweeted his support for arrington hours before the polls closed last night. and earlier today the president congratulated her tweeting this, my political representatives didn't want me to get involved in the mark sanford primary, thinking that anford would easily win. but with a few hours left, i felt ka

and i hope you're not offended but this is my common sense. speaking so i'm not attacking you and i'm not judging because i wasn't there this is what i think. i think it's really hard to believe that someone lies in court to protect his friend. and will not lie to protect his own life. never lied in court perfect for it you said. that it was a statement but it was really really important it was your first statement you said clinton shot this guy. he killed him you said. nothing figured. out figured you shoulda made you think they're going to. do it do you want to trista come out truth. well everyone says something different so. one of you standing to truth. and you say gee. turn comes when you are ready yes but the dog is still there should be out and it's going to. different this year. no to to hit it in the shoulder and shoulder. and one of the co-defendants. he was actually aiming. for from twenty centimeters off then you can hit him in the left no. with your left hand then yeah you should have to you'd have to reach around like this or disg

i hope you're right. i hope things settle and stabilize. in the long run there is serious concerns about restricting access to markets rather than expanding. and lot of consternation in farm country. i hope you're right. i hope things settle and obviou we've got to do everything we can to grow our markets. it doesn't seem at least right now, we don't see evidence that there is any negotiation going on with respect to some these countries that we missed out on with t.p.p. mr. chairman. thank you. could just ss: if i add. one thing. yomeioned about the proposal the chinese had come up with about the 70 billion, including a lot of a i was the one who negotiated that. it does show you that the administration is trying. it's just we were not able to accomplish enough to justify in the president's mind not going with the tariffs. i think there already are some signs we may get with the tarif resolution. i don't think the chinese want a trade war any more than we do. and as you know, president's general view is that the trade war was lost years ag

this is projected to increase 75% over the next decade and it is a problem that i hope many of you will be able to solve. perhaps we should not be surprised by oregon's experience. the rand institute did a study that was consider the largest health policy study in american history and they yielded similar results to those of oregon. at 7700ers looked randomly selected patients. group received a different form of health coverage. some of them got free chair and others enrolled in plants and one group was covered by a nonprofit cooperative. the results were startling. --se who had free care patients tended to use es and this tendency had no significant effect on their health. experiment undermined a nt.e tena the universal coverage is an unalloyed good. the coverage we provide matters a lot. take the approach i have long champion. consumer-direct it health plans. -- consumer-directed health plans. patients can use the money and proceeds to cover qualified health care expenses. used mine on monday with dental surgery. patient a financial incentive to spend wisely because they control the d

i hope it will be soon. the sanctions now remain. at a certain point, i look forward to taking them off. they will come off when we know that it is not going to happen. >> congratulations. >> congratulations to everybody. >> you signed a document with kim jong-un. it is essentially a piece of paper. we had a brief thing from the secretary of state, mike pompeo. many presidents previously had signed off on pieces of paper to find that the north korean either did not promise what we thought they had or -- what makes this different? you have a different administration. a different president. a different secretary of state. -- is very are important to them. maybe it was not priority for the other groups. i don't think they could have done it if it was a priority. it would have been easier back and. for me, it would have been easier 10 years ago. five years ago. i am not just blaming president obama. this goes back 25 years. i was given the orion deal. and plenty of other problems. well nuclearreally is always number one. i think iran is d

i've told people, i do not want to build up hopes. i thght that this would be a successful meeting if we got along. we developed a relationship, and we could have gotten to this months, three or four but it happened quickly. a lot of that was because of the foundation put down before we met. a lot of things happened very fast. -- bringing back the remains, that was not one of the things on our agenda. i ought it up at the very end because so many people had talked about it. he was gracious. in of saying let's talk about the next time, he said it makes sense, we will do it great they know where many of those where they are buried. along roads and highways and paths. our soldiers were moving back anforth and moved rapidly. it is very sad. that was brought up at the very end. it was great that he was able to do it. a lot of people going to be very happy about that. congratulations. thank you -- pres. trump: thank you for the nice way you treat us. i do want to talk about the future of north korea, specifically the people. is jong-un is sa

we had it made up by -- i hope you liked it. i thought it was good. i thought it was interesting enough to show. one in english and one in korean. and we had it made up -- i showed it to him today during the meeting, toward the end of the meeting. and i think he loved it. we didn't have the big screen like you have the luxury of hav. we didn't need it because we had it on the cassette and ipad, and they played it. about eight of their representatives who were watching it -- and i thought they were fascinated. i showed it to you because that's the future. that could well be the future. and the other alternative is just not a very good alternative. just not good. i showed it because i really want him to do something. i don't think i had to show it because i really believe he wants to -- i think he wants to yes,ead.how's staten island fer, okay? >> going well. >> he wrote the best story about boisland fey,hat he' never ten ad story. sir. >> i'that ha. a long time ago. >> mr. president, it's been a busy week for you on the international stage. you're leav

i hope i calling us on the other side of the aisle will also. i know you've discussed in your experience. you have done that from the time that you were in school since the tax compliance especially with respect to the earned income tax credit which is one of the most important parts of the tax law and the rewards for work to the low to moderate income workers and every march or april lots of literally hundreds of thousands who make 20 or 30 or 40,000 a year because of this refundable tax credit of things you know will get a check of two or $3,000 which at that income is very, very significant obviously. they have a 93% accuracy rate and really the gold standard. describe for us because i think it is important to have an irs commissioner that those practices that care. tell us about your experience and reassure all of us on this committee that you will work to make sure they have the resources they need to meet the demand for their service. the service. >> i'm a huge proponent. it serves two purposes. the taxpayers of this site is providing free

and, yes, i find hope in the wave of women running for office and winning. and i find hope in the women and men who are dismantling the notion that women should have to endure harassment and violence as part of life!!! [ applause ] >> so, yes, i know there are many fights to fight and more seem to rise everyday. and it'll take work to keep up the pressure and stay vigilant, to neither close our eyes or numb our hearts or throw up our hands and say someone else take over from here. but there has not been a time certainly in 50 years and maybe not even for longer than that where our country depends on every citizen believing in the power of your actions even when that power is invisible and your efforts feel like you are in an uphill battle. and, yes, voting even when your side loses, it comes down to being really a matter of infinite faith. so pace ourselves, lean on each other, look for the good wherever we can, celebrate the heroes, encourage children, find ways to disagree respectfully, be ready to lose some fights, but don't quit! as john mccain recently r

if we do not stop this madness, we will certainly destroy ourselves and the whole world. >> i hope this march will be successful because i think this is the last chance that america will have to rectify the mistakes they have made through the ages. i hope that the nation does not develop into a civil war thing. it seems like this may be what will be next. it is very nonviolent, but it seems the only way the need growth can get things is through violence. they will understand that things can be done peacefully. i cannot get this to break out. >> i work with a whole lot of colored people. that theypeople say do not want to fight, they want to do it peacefully. push it andy people the white people started it and they want to end it. they want to finish it. >> what will it do to the nation? >> it will start a revolution. here, in the nation's republic, here, in our capital, we are going to have a fight and a fight here will start a fight in harlem and all the bigger places in the united states where negros live. there will be a fight and it will tear us apart. it will blow our economy and w

but i would hope that through many discussions that we have had with the administration and also thatgues have had with the administration, the president personally, i would hope we would look at some of their negotiationsand that truly would not punish our allies and close marketplaces to the people i represent in central illinois. shery: we have the house floating on the gop compromise immigration bill this afternoon. we just heard from congressman norman of south carolina saying he can't boat for this compromi bill because it does not include not only e-verify, but also overhaul of the guesswork program for agriculture. what do you think of this bill this afternoon and you think it does enough for the farm community? i think we can always do better. the problem is they could not come to an agreement on adding those two provisions and appeared. we will get stand-alone bills to address e-verify to we will get stand-allls to address the act worker visa issue. likely, this bill we will vote on today is the only bill that in not onlyceeds authorizing, but appropriating money to build a

and i hope that this committee will move his nomination quickly. it is obvious that we need our ambassador in that position. and i want to thank the admiral and his family, and my wife has gotten to know his wife, for their courtesies extended to us. and we want to thank both of you for your continued public service after 40 years. thank you. sen. corker: thank you, sir. thank you very much. senator hirono. thank you, mr. chairman, for your courtesy and ranking member menendez. this week was a significant moment for our engagement in the korean peninsula. for the first time a sitting united states president met with a leader of north korea. at the singapore summit president trump and kim jong-un , committed to continue negotiations and reaffirm promises that north korea has made in the past. however, we also heard the president question the long-term commitment of our troop presence in south korea and accept the north korean rationale an ending joint military exercises that have increased regional safety and cooperation. we all share the goal of a p

i very much hope that we will. the person smiling about this other than the president himself is vladimir putin, our great rival, who loves to see america ticket bad punch in the nose and i think it's unfortunate we are here. >> with the chairman yield for question? -- would the chairman yield for question? do you have any reason to believe the of menstruation would support your proposal? >> i don't know, but i do know this, that the leader would not bring up any immigration bills that the amiss -- that the administration is not committed to signing, because we have spent one week on immigration and he doesn't want to spend anymore unless we get a product through. which basically means 60 votes. even if we get 60 votes in the president won't sign it -- >> the likelihood of this proposal seeing the light of day on the senate floor seems somewhat remote. >> i'm sorry. >> the likelihood of this proposal succeeding seems remote, or at least questionable. >> i don't dispute anything that senator whitehouse says -- that t
