>> again, i will speak for myself right now. it's my first day on the job, i got to get familiar with everybody, get direction from the president, but i have a person it written tip with your news organization and i thought i handled it well. you guys said something about me that was unfair and untrue and i expected the apology immediately. for me, i've never been a journalist, but i have played a journalist on television. i have empathy for journalists in terms of sometimes it will get stories wrong. i sort of don't like the fake news, and if you said to me that there is some media bias out there, and i wouldn't want to be as candid as i would like to be with you guys, we hope we can de-escalate that and turn it around and let the message from the president get out there to the american people. >> the president is known to see himself as his own best spokesperson. that was clearly a challenge that sean had at the podium. how do you plan on navigating that? >> here is what i would say. again, i thought sean did a very, very good

break i will get to you. do everything i can to get to every person in this room. >> president want to have a press conference with us in the near future? >> i'll talk to him, absolutely. i mean, listen, president is phenomenal with the press. he is a great communicator. he won this election, i used to know the math a lot better when i was in the campaign during the transition, we spent, 60% of the money and had 1/3 personnel. we won the presidency of donald j. trump. he is a an unbelievable politician. of course he at some point with we'll make sure that happens. i don't know what point that will be because i have to talk to him. >> blake, i will do my very best to get to everybody. let me go in way with order. go here first. >> anthony you seem like very savvy person. you said the white house is a difficult place. how are you going to handle a couple things? >> when did i say that? let me explain that. let me be specific. it is a difficult place because here is what happens. it is a little cramped in there.

here's what i will tell you. i love the president. the president is an effective communicator, and he will use social media -- if i get this wrong, i will hear it from him. 113 million, 114 million? i know he is picking up 300,000 followers a day, god bless him. to me, it has been a very effective use of reaching the american public directly, and listen, i welcome him continuing to do that. i think it is very, very important for him to express his identity, because what i have found when i travel around the country, people love him. reporter: his message is different than what you put out the night before. mr. scaramucci: that is a hypothetical. it is unfair for me to answer that, because how can i answer that? i don't know what the tweet is. you learn that early in law school. reporter: the president has expressed frustration that a lot of these briefings are off-camera. wouldn't he believe that being on camera is beneficial? mr. scaramucci: he has not expressed that opinion that he expressed that opinion, so i cannot comment. reporte

i will tell you i love the president. she a very effective communicator, he will use social media, i think he has -- if i get this wrong i know i will hear it from him. 113 million or 114 million. i know he is getting about 300,000 followers a day, god bless him. i think it has been an effect i have use of reaching the american public directly. so listen, i welcome him continuing to do that, but it is very important for him to express his identity. what i have found is that people love him. >> what if his message is different from what you put out the night before. >> it's a hypothetical, it's unfair to answer that, i don't know what the tweet is, i don't know what happened, it's just unfair. you learn that early in law school not to answer that kind of question. >> a lot of these briefings have been off camera, wouldn't he believe that putting them on camera would be beneficial? >> he has not expressed that to me, i cannot answer that. >> how involved in the day today operations of the press department will he be going fo

i will get as many people as i can with your questions. we have seen the president being his a messenger very frequently, and that has caused some struggles for the communications daft. how do you expect to the white house back on track? >> i take issue with the question become a because -- question, because the white house is on track. but we have a whole list of things. i did not want to come out of list ofh a accomplishments, but i wanted to talk about personal movement and how we are thinking about. but i think we are doing an amazing job. the president himself is always going to be the president. i was in the oval office with him earlier today and we were beking about letting him himself, letting him express his full identity. i think yes some of the best political and weeks in the world, and perhaps in history, if you think about it. he started his political ascent two years and two months ago, and he has done a phenomenal job for the american people. identify so with the president, so we will get the message out. could you speak a l

i will then take questions from everyone. first, i would like to announce formally that sarah huckabee the pressll be secretary. heryou cannot congratulate after. he do not hear me -- can you not hear me? better now? let me start over. you heard me in the front, right? sarah is going to be the press secretary, right? congratulations to you, sarah. [applause] >> i want to make a couple of statements. first, i want to thank sean spicer not only on behalf of myself, the president, the administration, but he is a true patriot. he is a military serviceman, and he has an amazing family could he has done an amazing job, and this was a hard situation to be in. i applaud him, i wish him well, and i hope he goes on to make a tremendous amount of money. as it relates to me in his position, i will spend a couple of weeks getting to know the people here, and then i will be as corrugated -- coordinated as i can be with people inside the west wing. there has been some speculation in the press. we have been personal friends for six years. we

i will -- i will go back to the need to fill out surveys. if it turns out we need more money, the only way we would justify it is if we had enough folks fill -- to -- fill out surveys to establish the need. just to say that, we want it to be adequate. we will not know until it happens. the only way we can work towards that is if we all chip in. lived like a community. part of that is to establish that if you are one of those who have a need, even if you're need has already been addressed, for those who have not, have them addressed going forward. >> [inaudible] sen. cassidy: i am taking the questions as they come. i am not screening them now. if you wish to chant and keep others from being able to speak sen. cassidy: i am taking the or be heard, that is not civil. i ask you, respect the right of others to speak into be heard. -- and to be heard. please. i have flood insurance. i have hazard insurance. i has -- and i have flooded. sen. cassidy: have you not been paid by the national flood insurance program? >> i have not. this is a similar si

you have my assurance that i will support doing that. >> how will you communicate that between the branches and the services? >> i suspect and this goes kind of back to senator corona, there's many things i have to learn in terms of navigating the department of defense. it will either be through the technical leadership or service secretaries, i'm quite confident that when we do have a solution that we will be able to communicate it and it's going to be how quickly do we actually get the solutions incorporated into the airplane so that will be really about acquisition and getting these things on contract, that's the most important thing we have to do. >> iappreciate it, thank you for your time area . >> thank you mister chairman. mister shanahan, thank you for being here today. >> one question really relates to the future of warfare and how we will be preparing for a rapidly changing battle space. senator reid ask you a question about the third offset strategy in which as you know secretary of defense as carter introduced in order to move the innovation process forward to take advantage of

so i will support transparency and accountability. it is going to be the tone set at the top. >> thank you. thank you for that. >> that message will be very, very clear, i'm sure. 355 ship navy, i just want to ask you about this because we did an amendment to state as a concept this committee supports it. i think it would be a good thing. you talked about grabbing with what the ship mix is. let me talk about two aspects of what it would mean. 355 ships, that's a number. but surface, underwaters, manned, unmanned, there is a lot of work to determine if it would be at 355 what the right ship mix would be, correct? >> correct. >> the second issue is to the extent we're talking about shipping and personnel to the extent we're talking about aircraft carriers and air wings, talk a little bit so we can think about what this commitment might mean down the road, what are some of the bigger questions in addition to just the numbers of ships that we're going to have to grapple with together with you if we try to reach that goal. >> senator, to ad

>> when i get there i will let you know, . but i am still a work in progress i am awfully there been in the past six months i have come to as much peace as i have never been with my body and my food just thinking of my relationship to food is one of the things i write about it isn't a traditional narrative coming to a magical realization. that is not what the book is about. i am not there yet to. for many women i don't know if we ever fully get there because i dunno if we are allowed. >> last i heard you talk was 2015 and i fell in love with you. so now i am in college so you talked about how your peers saudia vessey affirmative-action and woman and i feel bad my weight is keeping me fully realizing even the way do try my best and still feel that my opinions is not as valid so how would you maneuver that? how do you get over that when it has to do with your body?. >> i think you have to make peace with your body recognized you cannot control how other people perceive year and that is one of the things i have had to do as a blac

i will go right there. if i had a magic wand, we will need a single parents is that if we will be able to provide coverage for everybody. >> all right. josh? >> i will take a slightly different attack. if i had a magic wand, i would hope our conversation about medicaid would stop assuming it can fix all of our problems and actually take a critical eye to say if we are really robust critical public policy makers, we will see if there is a better way to do it and do it that way instead if it is better, whether it is opioid treatment or others instead of assuming a managed care plastic card sold all of our problems. >> where i would waive my one depends on the day or the week but i am focused on what is going on here in congress so i will talk about my wand relative to the present. no program is perfect, it is evolving, it is changing, it is growing, it is developing. what seems pretty clear to me having experience in the program for quite a number of years is that cutting off expansion funding that has support

i really hope you will. we'll follow up with you after your confirmed to work on this specific issue because i think it's really important. >> and what i will further commit to you is one of the first meetings i have is with osc and ig to understand from their perspective what the issues are. want to have good relationship with them. they perform a very valuable function for the agency. i appreciate a third party look at things that have been going on. >> well the people who -- as former auditor, people who respond to audit look-see with thank you, this is good, we can do better, end up at much better place than those who circle wagons and tell employees not to tell anybody anything negative. just doesn't work out. going to ask about the viper programs but you already addressed that. but you mentioned russian interference. based on what you know, do you have confidence the russians are going to continue to interfere in elections next year and 2020? >> thank you for the question. the russian intelligence servi

i will answer it as best i can from my vantage point as an outsider. summary who has not yet often a great deal of visibility on the internal deliberations on these very important questions. with that caveat, what i can tell you is if i ever thought -- we talked about this yesterday in your office -- i can assure you that a fire thought that i did not have the resources i needed to do the job which i'm confirmed, i would have no hesitation whatsoever about raising that concern with my superiors and advocating what i deem to be necessary. >> a appreciate that answer. if that is your sincere answer, you will be in a position of advocating very early the hiring freeze that applied to the government. now it applies to one agency, the state department area you will all feel that. you will not people to hire individuals that you need in order to perform the tasks that your department and your indices -- extraordinary measures have been taken to prevent lateral .ransfers you will see functionality hollowed out because of the traditional ways are no longer ava

i have no doubt that will not be necessary. we want an fcc commissioner networks together, even in differences of views and policy professor, -- perspectives, takes the higher road, working together with respect and dignity for all commissioners. something i think that this committee would appreciate, particularly based upon past circumstances. so i am really here to just say ajit, thank you for your public service and i look forward to your confirmation. and i believe you are totally worthy of the opportunity to serve americans in the capacity that the president has asked you to serve. i will ask my colleagues to join me in that confirmation. chairman thune: thank you. senator blumenthal? sen. blumenthal: thank you. i could not be more delighted and proud to welcome jessica rosenworcel here today along with her family, emmett and mark. they come from a wonderful family in west hartford and she has really served with extraordinary distinction and dedication. not only at the fcc, but also with this committee. in letting be remiss

i have no idea how he will vote today, but i have not seen them yet. am looking forward to seeing him in a few minutes. he is a great american, great senator, and i have the deepest, deepest respect for john mccain. >> julie: as do we all. we are all praying for him. he is a true hero. >> he has. soon alaskan senator, dan sullivan. president trump tweeting about john mccain. it is so great that he's coming back to vote. brave american hero. thank you, john. we will see how that boat goes just moments from now. let us first go to peter doocy. he joins me and i don't live on capitol hill with the very latest. peter, how much of an impact did the vice president visit heaven today? >> as lunch with the vice president and skeptical senators started to wind down, where it started trickling out from the dining room that some of those who had been noncommittal on this health care bill to fix obamacare are now going to vote to proceed to debate. that does not mean they will back the final bill, because no one knows with the final bill will look like, but we are

it is also complicated to i will give you a?a? cancer. as i mentioned earlier that if there are additional programs from the infrastructure package it is imperative we think how they work in conjunction with the fund for universal service. it is imperative the right-hand talk to the left and we don't duplicate the efforts that would have occurred without the spending. >> along with your fellow commissioners you have this decision making is that a fair statement?. >> yes. >> issuing a press release in december 2014 about the concerns learning the fcc approval through a press release. by women during the 2014 2 press release. >> without objection. >> august of last year voting three / two those disclosure requirements. is that correct. >> believe the date is correct. >> so each broadcasting station weather in the same or different television markets with that of mine public inspection phial.o, and if so why? do they plan to do have that request?. >> i am not familiar. >> i will get back to with that status report. >> were you aware of that d

i will take questions. i will answer as many people as i can. reporter: number one, what we have seen from this administration does far is the president being his own messenger, and that has created the struggles for the communications staff. how do you get the white house back on track? start scaramucci -- mr. scaramucci: i take issue with that. i think we are on track. i do think we have meshing perspectives. i did not want to do a whole advertising infomercial now. i think we are doing an amazing job. the president himself is always going to be the president. we were in the oval office earlier today and we were talking about letting him be himself letting him express his identity. he has some of the best political instincts in the world, in history. he started his political ascent two years and two months ago, and he has done a phenomenal job for the american people. people i grow up with, they so identify with the president and they love him and we will get that message out. reporter: second question -- mr. scaramucci: i will speak to everyb

we are honored to be with david mccullough and i will tell you shamelessly i brought my copy for him to autograph a he was gracious enough to do it. the impact of writers is varied as the content of their work other times a much-needed escape writers can show space expected science exposing us to those figures never previously seen. actually he was telling me about the new book he was writing for the person most responsible for the american acquisitions and somebody that i had never heard of is at the center. i have a history teacher by profession spending 10 years of the classroom. so i spend a great deal of time reading about history i've been a big believer in supporter of museums i take our children to the coastal treasures. they allow us to immerse ourselves to learn of past beaders with an eye on current events and discover a land without ever leaving chicago or looking for new things in the process democracy at the same time is the best and most fragile form of government on earth because it requires the active engaged in and informed citizenry. that is particularly true at th

i hope that that's something that you will look at. i have noticed there has been some discussion, a stripping away some cve aspects of the administration's counterterrorism strategy. to your knowledge -- and i know we're not presuming nomination so you are not there yet, but will cve remain a strong priority of the ct bureau at the state department? >> yes, senator. if i'm confirmed it will continue to be a top priority for me and for the bureau that i would lead. i think all counterterrorism has to involve encountering violent extremism component. terrorism is a global problem with all sorts of different facets. some of those facets require different kinds of solutions. sometimes military solutions are required, sometimes law enforcement solutions are required, but it's not just hard power that has to be deployed to counter isis, al qaeda and other like-minded groups. we also have to use the softer tools in the national tool kit such as moral suasion such as engaging at the community level, such as providing off ramp for those tempted

think i will want to leave the discussions. >> well, let me ask you this, do you see any incidents in the future that you would disagree with him on? >> i certainly have no interest on agreeing with him when i don't believe that that's the right outcome. as i've noted, my hope is the agency works best when we work in a bipartisan basis. i think the vast majority of what we do should be consensus-base. iwould love to work with all commissioners but no individual once i made my mind up will change position. my record shows that i'm confidence in making these decisions. >> mr. carr, that's not confidence building of those of us who are wondering about your future independence from the boss that you have so ably served in the last number of years. well, let me ask you about the e-rate program. it's a great success story of the '96 telecon act, as you know, students have access that they never had before. just in my state alone, libraries have received over 160 million in e-rate funds in 2015 and this program it's makin

"i will kill myself before i come back home." ter one month, we ran out of potatoes during lunchtime on sunday. that was the big meal. the chef called me over and said, "you are good for nothing. you will have to go back home to mother." "i cannot go home." he just fired me. i went on the river, there was a big bridge. i said, "i'm going to jump in the river. i am not going home. he doesn't want me. what else am i going to do? i am going to kill myself and jump in the river." after standing for an hour, i said, "you know, maybe the chef was drunk. maybe he didn't mean it. i am going to go back to next day." i went home and went to sleep. a friend saw me coming in. he said, "i thought you got fired." i said, "i cannot go home." he said, "i will hide you in the vegetable cellar and you can peel potatoes." back to potato peeling without cooking them? two weeks later, the chef came down, and i was sitting down there peeling potatoes. he said, "what are you doing here?" and i said, "i cannot go home. i will jump in the river before goi

>> i will. >> will they be protected? >> they will. >> you agree to affirm and testify upon request before this committee? >> i do. >> do you agree to provide documents, including copies of electronic forms of communication in a timely manner when requested by a duly constituted committee? >> i do. >> have you assumed any duties or undertaken any actions which would appear to presume the outcome of the confirmation process? >> i have not. >> thank you. >> the next secretary of the navy will assume this role during a time of immense importance for u.s. sea power. i note the presence of one of our most distinguished members and dear friend of every member of the committee, republican and democrat, and perhaps it would be more convenient for us to hear from senator warner before i proceed with my opening statement. senator warner, you are recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator reed, and members of the committee, particularly mr. nelson and mr. bricker. it is a very humbling experience for me to appear here on beh

i hope that is an issue we will get into. i hope it is an issue we will discuss freely. i hope that is a recommendation this commission makes to vice president pence, to you, and to president trump. thank you for the opportunity to serve on this commission. mr. pence: thank you, judge king for bringing your extraordinary experience to the county level, and those awful opening remarks today. we look forward to working with you, very much. membere mccormick, also of the election commission. mccormick: i'm for -- i am looking forward to participating in the mission of this commission. i used to be an assistant voting registrar in connecticut. i have worked in several capacities, including eight years in the department of justice civil rights division voting section, litigating our voting statutes, including the voting rights act and others. i was detailed to baghdad for a year as the department of -- under the department of justice. another, dedicated to making election administration better across our country. i have worked directly with state and local election officials f

cassidy: can i pause for a second? we will take some more questions. >> louisiana resource told me if i borrow any money from sba, they were going to take all that out of what it cost me to fix my own house. >> that's right. that's the same answer i had before. i'm sorry it's not different. we've asked and asked, but an sba loan -- we can't replace that with the grant. sen. cassidy: we are going to take some more questions. let me do what i should have done off the back and say thank you. i want to thank the pastor and this church for hosting. i told him he should pass out the plate for a love offering. [laughter] he said, don't tempt him. cynthia, wherever you are, my staff says you are fantastic. i see miss helen answering the phones, so thank you all is well. i want to thank law enforcement. we saw steve scalise gunned down. in phoenix, we saw the congresswoman and others injured. bank -- so, i thank law enforcement. when i first came to this church at montrell jackson ceremony, all of us should thank our law enforcement an

i will tell you that. pplause] and i promise you -- and you see it happening day by day -- just the other day we signed veterans accountability. they have been trying to do it for 40 years. [applause] for 40 years they have been trying. you couldn't fire somebody. they were doing a terrible job for the veterans. robbing, stealing, hurting people. you couldn't do anything. it is called the veterans accountability act, and now you can say "you're fired." [applause] thank you. i promise you that we will always take care of our great veterans. always. right, louis? you better believe it. and paula is up there. paula white has been so helpful. thank you. i love you, too, actually. [applause] you've shed your blood. you've poured your love. you've bared your soul in defense of our country, our people, and our great american flag. your loyalty to our nation is measured not merely in words, but in deeds. you race through gunfire, stare down enemy forces, and ran past the gates of hell to fight and to win for americ

and this is what i will tell you. yes, unra is not perfect and, yes,when it comes to any sort of relationship with hamas that needs to come out. they claim they are cleaning up the textbooks but i think more work needs to be done on that front. the only reason why i would say don't eliminate unra is becausethere is so much resentment between the palestinians behind that fence and israel that an uneducated palestinian versus an educated palestinian or unhealthy. >> i'm going push back a little minute. this seems like a fair question. how much longer should folks like me wait on behalf of the american taxpayers until they clean up their act? it's been67 years. how much longer should we wait? >> i feel your sfrus administration and i think that what we needto figure out is what is the replacement of unra or how do wego back? first we have to limit the number of refugees it's out of hand the number of people that unra covers because they're not all refugees. but the schooling and the healthcare for those groups in there, i

and then i will take control of it. i will activate it when i want to start moving. the way i walk is much like you would walk if you are going to step off with your left foot. you put your weight on your right foot and then you shift your cg forward. i do the same thing. when the device detects i'm within same parameters it will activate the step and i will continue to repeat that process. as long as i am shifting my weight and my cga, it will continue to work. how toit hard to learn walk? >> it's very intuitive. it is strange. i can't feel anything below my navel. it is kind of like balancing a broom on the tip of your finger in a way. once i was able to trust the machine would stand me up and not let me drop to the ground it was just a matter of learning where those safe points were. it did about three days to learn it. after using the device -- after a couple of weeks or a month it was easy. >> i have seen videos and your son is helping you. how much are they actually doing in the movement? gary: once she stands me up, she has to activate the standing she handsd

hope we will i do find out everything in this investigation, and one of the things i hope we will findbout is the obama surveillance of the trump campaign. thank you. i won't go into great detail. let me direct your attention to one thing, one thing only, january 12, 2017, david ignatius's opinion piece in the washington post in which he said official told himi about the contents of the conversation between my client and the russian ambassador and also suggested that it , henstrated collusion demonstrated it suggests collusion between the trump administration and the russians. there is the evidence for you right there. that is the dna at the crime scene. that is top-secret surveillance information taken out of foreign policy channels, moved into political channels, spread into our press in support of the .ollusion lie that is a misuse of surveillance information, and it is a crime, and it is the only crime that we know of so far that has been committed within this framework of russia and trump, and i surely hope that all these investigations will also look into that leak, which as i sa

okay, who here will say, you know, i didn't really know about this, but-- okay. great. so, good morning, and hello and welcome. i am the founder and president respectability-- >> are you having trouble hearing me? i'm going to start over. i'm the founder and president of respectability, a nonprofit organization working it fight stigmas and end real prejudice and to advance opportunities for people with disabilities. we're a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization and there are 57 million americans with disabilities. we are literally the largest minority group in america and one in every five people in our nation have a disability. the majority of people have a loved one with a disability as well and we're the only minority group that anyone can join at any time due to accident, illness or aging. respectability is very proud to be a member of the ccd, a group of more than 110 national disability organizations that want a better future for people with disabilities. as we have seen recently, overall the disability community is good at protecting

spencer: if confirmed, i will. sen. cotton: i don't want you to do anything to presume confirmation even though it seems like a pretty good bet so far this morning. thank you again for your willingness to serve our country. mr. spencer: thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. spencer, welcome to the committee today. it is an honor for me as the newest member of the committee to be here and get to meet senator warner, who served with such distinction over the years. it was a pleasure. i want to thank you for your willingness to serve. i want to add my condolences to the families that suffer the tragic loss of the 15 marines and sailors yesterday. i appreciate your comments on the need to keep a robust industrial base active in order to achieve the 355 ship navy. we have to have consistent workflow through our navy yards. there are those in my state but there are many others around the country who are facing the same situation. let me ask you one question about testimony that admiral lesher gave to the committee two wee

with that, i will open it up. fou have a question raise your land. i will pick you a lot. a microphone is going to come to you and you will say who you are. we don't need the whole life story. ask a question. if you start making a speech, i will just cut you off. i am from glasgow. click. there is a gentlemen in the blue shirt. tell us who you are and ask your questions. >> my name is george coon and i am convinced i will have to read the book. i have a metaphor to present and see what you think. it is the assumption of two hands clapping but it seems to be in the u.s.-china case it could only be a one hand clapping because the culture so different as you mentioned. i see the u.s. making all the aggressive moves and i don't see china countering. if it is a one hand clapping event are we going to have this trap? >> each question could be along this so i will apologize if i be telegraphic. i think the south china sea is as much as teddy roosevelt thought about the caribbean. we can agree, whether i do, if this makes any sense for a big and strong power to say i am the oversee

actually, i will skip down to 1984,here he says, in people are controlled i inflict pain pain.
