madam. he said he set up a doomsday switch, a dead man's switch that's designed to automatically reveal the locations of the records online if he does nothing the for a period of 72 hours. remember, a deadman's switch is not activated by you doing something. it's activated by you unexpectedly doing nothing. the way he described it to us today is as a 72-hour clock. he told us, quote, the 72-hour clock releases the records if i disappear for 72 hours. i reset the clock daily. stranger things have happened. i'm taking no chances. he further elaborated to u.s. world news saying the 72-hour clock is rigged so what it does if it counts all the way down, all 72 hours without him acting to reset it, quote, dozens of reporters will receive a website link directing them where to find the documents online. quote, if i die, disappear, whatever, they will be out. that's the first thing that's happened today. there's a dead man's switch on the d.c. madam unreleased records, at least the lawyer says there

quigley: thank you, madam speaker. madam speaker, in today's world the threats we face are constantly changing. our ability to keep america safe relies on our capacity to adapt quickly to these new and evolving threats. in the years following 9/11, u.s. made significant changes to our intelligence and law enforcement capabilities that have stopped over 60 terror plots against the u.s. and saved countless american lives. 9/11 was 15 years ago. the threats we face today are vastly different than the threats we faced then. it's time we reprioritize resources to confront this new reality. the recent terror attacks in brussels and paris confirm that one of our largest security vulnerabilities is soft targets. relatively unprodesignated -- unprotected venues where large groups of people gather. soft targets are places we all frequent, airports, train stations, stadiums, restaurants, and shopping malls. they are easy to attack and difficult to protect. the recent attacks also show that threats are becoming harder to detect. t

. >> thank you, madam president. my understanding from what has been said about this project is that this project is ready to go. and while i understand and respect the fact that people as a general rule don't want to do supplementals, i think that in terms of moving this project forward it might actually be more expensive to wait to actually begin the work. and i certainly was very impressed with the feedback from this community and to me, if we're going to end up approving this funding a few months down the road, i think that we should not let form dictate over substance. i think we should just move this forward. i know from being on this board that supervisor avalos has been very responsible in how he brings any supplemental before this board. it's not something that he does, and so i'm going to defer to his judgment, and he believes this is something that is needed for his district. >> >> thank you, supervisor campos. supervisor peskin. >> thank you. some 15 years ago when the mta owned this property, it was actu

what a pity madam arbour's successor at the u.n. isn't interested in producing a report on that rape epidemic. in vienna, they've advised women that it's not safe to go out without company. it's easy to shrug, it's just a few disabled kids, just anecdotes. forget the anecdotes and run the numbers. in europe, with unaccompanied minors, 90% are male, which means that in one year, swedish adolescence have more sex differential than china does after 30 years of its totalitarian one-child family. there are 119 boys for every girl. among swedish adolescence just from the last year's importation, it's now 123 boys for every girl. that's a fact. a fact of life. and i hope tonight will put aside the sentimentalism that often attends this subject and stick with the facts. madam arbour said some things that i agree with. she said recently, why are we always talking about the danger that these people will transform us? they may transform us for the better. so she and i agree that immigration on this scale is transformative. the only difference

clayton: thank you, madam chair. i've been a corporate litigator since 1978, and i'm here today despite a family medical situation for two reasons. one is that women's reproductive health and medical research are being threatened by these hearings. the second reason is that i have instructive experience to share with this panel on the topic that you're considering here. 16 years ago, a client of mine, anatomical gift foundation, a nonprofit corporation that provided donated tissue to medical researchers in hopes of curing the diseases, including the ones senator shaheen mentioned earlier. that nonprofit was falsely accused by life dynamics, the anti-abortion group congressman schakowsky mentioned, accused of selling fetal tissue. these baseless charges were made in a videotape, sent by life dynamics to congress and in that video the person making the accusations was anonymous. as it happened, an employee of anatomical gift foundation, my client, had gone to work for another company, in violation of his contract. a.g.
