senator menendez. sen. menendez: thank you. you know, mr. secretary, i get struck by you as an honorable man. but i also get struck as someone who, in the role that you have had, has played the role of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. i'm going to give you a chance to prove me wrong. ambassador sondland is our ambassador to the e.u. , is that correct? mr. sullivan: that's correct. sen. menendez: ukraine is not part of the european union. is that correct? mr. sullivan: that's correct. sen. menendez: did you know what sondland was up to as it relates to ukraine? mr. sullivan: i was aware he had been tasked with the president with working with the other colleagues involved in ukraine policy. sen. menendez: when you responded to senator shaheen and some extent senator kaine about rudy giuliani and sometimes private citizens have a role, are you not suggesting what mr. giuliani did in this case was kosher or ok or correct, is it? mr. sullivan: i didn't offer a judgment what he did was kosher or correct. i'm not sure exactly what he was u

senator menendez: thank you, congresswoman. as i was sitting in the supreme court today listening the arguments, it reminded me of a meeting that the congressional hispanic caucus had with then president obama. and at that meeting i prepared a memorandum, legal memorandum on behalf of the caucus to present to president obama to you have the power to actually create what we now know as daca. and after a lot of work with the congressional hispanic caucus members and other colleagues, we ultimately got president obama to agree and create the daca program. i listened to the arguments in the court today and in my mind the court should clearly decide in favor of the dreamers. why? is this case kase reviewable? if you can get 700,000 to a million people to rely upon what the government says, comfort forward, give us all your information, go through a criminal background check, give us the information of your families, if that reliance is not one to be sustained or reviewable, then god knows what is reviewable in our country. from my p

senator menendez? for want to thank you holding the hearing on these important housing bills including the alerts act. i hope the committee will consider in this agenda having several other housing related opportunities. this is one of the most critical elements of our economy and the last of our families. i hope we can do more. bipartisanshipe is supposed to be dead, senator scott and i were able to introduce this life-saving bill. true silentide is a killer. it is tasteless, colorless, odorless yet it takes a few minutes of exposure to cause brain damage and death. luckily, this is entirely preventable. carbon monoxide detectors are a proven way to alert people. it is a basic life-saving necessity that belongs in every home and that includes public housing. unfortunately, while housing units must include smoke detectors there is no such requirement for carbon monoxide alarms and that is unacceptable. my state is one of the 27 states that requires carbon monoxide detectors in public dwellings. 4 publi

menendez: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from new jersey. mr. menendez: i rise in support of the motion that shortly will be made by our colleague from florida. i want to congratulate senator cardin and he for their leadership in this regard. i think appreciate the chairman and myself, having joined them in moving this expeditiously through the committee, and i'm looking forward to its critical passage on the floor. time is of the essence. the people of hong kong are fighting for their lives. six months ago millions of hong kong citizens took to the streets to peacefully protest the erosion of their democracy and their rights. now a half a year later we find mounting anger and unrest with the violence against students and protesters, most dramatically in the crackdown of hong kong's polytech university only getting worse. people are being shocked. the violence perpetrated by the authorities in hong kong and by extension beijing are turning the city into a battlefield. this is not the hong kong that any of us want to see. the special character of

that is why i worked with my colleague senator menendez on finding a bipartisan solution to put a stop to any more deaths like those in south carolina, pennsylvania , oklahoma or virginia, michigan, indiana and tennessee. that's over 14 deaths from public housing across this country since 2003. working deaths too many. i also want to thank secretary carson and his staff for their commitment to addressing this problem and for moving forward with a $5 million grant program to help out public housing authorities to purchase co detectors. miss matthews, co poisoning can happen quickly and without warning resulting in entirelypreventable deaths . if proper measures are taken , we have a patchwork of state laws and regulations when it comes to carbon monoxide poisoning and in utah for example if a state that has seen a 25 percent increase in carbon monoxide poisoning since last year, the only new residential structures rated by the state residential code are required to have co detectors. how would a bill like seal alert help close the loophole nationally in our federal assisted housing when

s. 2160 the overt act was introduced in july by senator scott and menendez and has the support of five republicans and five democrats on the committee. s. 1804, the manufactured housing modernization act was introduced in june and has five bipartisan cosponsors including senator cortez, scott kramer and smith and hr 4300 of the fostering stable housing opportunities act which has bipartisan interest in the senate and is moving quickly through the house of representatives on a strong partisan basis. the alert act would require the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide alarms and most federally assisted housing and any dwelling unit containing a fuel-burninfuel burning applian, fireplace, furnace or in close garage. currently the majority of the programs have no such requirement despite similar requirements in 37 states and the district of columbia. at least 13 individuals living in federally assisted housing have died due to carbon monoxide poisoning since 2003 including four in the past year. in april secretary carson announced they would undertake the process to establish su

>> well as senator menendez just said, it is all about purerjury he's trying not to get caught in a lie which is a very serious offense and it is clear for a long time that he was on the cusp of being caught in the lie because everybody else's testimony didn't line up with his so he had to either correct it or stand his ground and i think he clearly is -- has proven he's not willing to go that far to protect the president. and on t-- on top of that, as yu poined out admiral, he pointed out that he repeatedly believed what was going on, this quid pro quo was improper and borderline illegal. he said he couldn't say if it was illegal or not because he's not a lawyer and he thought it might be and probably was. so clearly sondland knew there was something wrong here and he is trying to clear it up as much as he can to protect himself at this point. >> bianna, it is interesting because some republicans have started to shift their messaging saying well maybe the president's conduct wasn't right but certainly it was not impeachable. to today's developments and the resized testimony from ambass

thank you very very much. >> senator menendez. >> thank you mr. chairman.nt to thank you and chairman crapo for holding a hearing on these important housing bills including the co alert jack. i hope the committee will consider it in its agenda having other housing related opportunities i think this is one of the most critical elements of our economy and the lives of our families help we can do more. in the age when bipartisanship is supposed to be dead, senator scott and i were able to work together to introduce this lifesaving bill carbon monoxide is a true silent killer. it is tasteless, colorless, odorless and yet all it takes is a few minutes of exposure to face serious health risks like brain damage and death. luckily this danger is entirely preventable. carbon monoxide alarms are proven way to alert families to a grave health threat but a co detector is not a luxury accessory for well-to-do homeowners it's a basic lifesaving necessity that belongs in every home and that includes public housing. unfortunately, while federal assisted housing is its most

did we pass the risch-menendez bill on turkey? no. did we pass the house version of that legislation? nope. day after day, week after week, we sit on our hands, too timid to act on any legislation that might upset erdogan while he is in town. whatever happened to standing up for our american values? this weekend, national security advisor robert o'brien declared that, quote, there's no place for ethnic cleansing for war crimes in the 21st century, close quote. will president trump deliver that message to erdogan on wednesday? will he seek to maintain any shred of dignity and u.s. credibility on human rights issues, or will he let erdogan engage in these horrific human rights abuses without consequence? question number four, will our president stand up to turkish aggression against its neighbors throughout the region? turkish naval ships routinely violate the exclusive economic zones of cyprus and may take measures in formagusa that would set the peace process on the island back even further. turkey also routinely violates airspace tha

now it is my pleasure to turn over the microphone to senator menendez who has also been an incredible supporter for many years. >> as i was sitting in the supreme court today listening to the arguments, it reminded me of a meeting the congressional hispanic caucus had with then president obama. i have a memorandum to present to president obama to say you have the power to create what we now know as daca. with a lot of work with the members and other colleagues, we ultimately got president obama to agree and create the program did. i listened to the arguments in the court today and in my mind they should decide why. as the case reviewable? if you can get 700,002,000,000 peopl700,000 to amillion peoplet the government says, come forward, give us all of your information, go to a criminal background check, giv is that reliance is and sustained or reviewable, god knows what is in our country. a basic fare to have a process by which all of those sub that their lives, their information into their most sacred position in this life comes forward and use knob it out without any detailed process

that you've been doing at the cfpb, i also wanted to pursue the line of questioning that senator menendez raised it on the patch, i always have been on the view that it is been inappropriate and unfair for the cfpb outsource the definition of qm and their standards that occur in a black box, as long as the ability for payrolls on the books we need a qualified mortgage definition that is simple, fair, straightforward and entirely unambiguous, so one of the ways it seems to me we could move in that direction is to make it clear that the institution that keeps the mortgage on its books has every incentives to keep alone that is repaired, i am on the view that beings like to get their money back and then the lines the interest of the lender with the interest of a borrower to have a loan that is affordable to the borrower, we acknowledge that in the legislation though you patched 20 1:55, and it's clear that there would be an automatic qm safe harbor for any institution that keeps alone on their books provided that they are less than ten billion dollars in size. time of the view that of the 11

making this on behalf of senator schumer, senator leahy, senator rosen, senator tim kaine, senator menendez senator carton, as if in legislative session i asked unanimous consent of the senate proceed to immediate consideration of calendar number 112 hr 6 for the bill to be read a third time passed and the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening mraction or debate. >> is their objection? >> and reserving the right to object, i will object. >> senator from tennessee. >> thank you mr. president. i would like to articulate the reason for the objection to the legislation that is brought forward by my friend the senator from illinois. once again, i found it necessary for the good of the order to object to unanimous consent request brought by our friends and majority. once again, they are attempting to bypass the senate rules on behalf of a piece of legislation that this body has not had the time to debate to deliberate or to consider in committee. the american dream and promise act passed the house of representatives by a near partyline vote. unsurpris

senate particularly one bob menendez on the foreign relations committee sending out a statement almost immediately in protest of this saying that this is in fact going to sort of abdicate american leadership too in the global economy to both china and india so there is some controversy it browned it but at the same time here in lexington this is something that trump supporters will be happy about and of course back in washington the impeachment inquiry is the focus of all the attention how big of an issue is it on the campaign trail in places like lakes and. well you know it's really important to talk about this in the context of these local races that are taking place you wonder why with the presidential election a year away why the president would be here in lexington kentucky there's it's one of a handful of states where there are some races that are taking place as of tuesday the president campaigning for the republican governor to try and help them win reelection but the impeachment inquiry is something that's kind of hanging over this like a cloud now there are many here that say

led by senators rubio and cardin, foreign relations chairman risch and ranking member menendez, and a supporting cast of colleagues, this bill is intended to spur hong kong officials and pro-beijing constituencies to protect hong kong's autonomy and its special relationship with the united states and to hold those committing human rights violations in hong kong accountable. it builds off of the 1992 united states-hong kong policy act which asserts that the united states has a strong interest in the continued vitality, prosperity, and stability of hong kong. i'm grateful for the leadership of the senators who worked to advance this bill. madam president, the issue at hand is hong kong's right to an independent judicial system and its unique status in a one-country, two-system construct. the bill that spurred the june protests in hong kong, a bill pushed by the communist chinese central government that sought to impose extraditions from hong kong to mainland china would have directly undercut this judicial independence. this bill has been withdrawn, but a number of other grievances have

politician in washington other than me virtually is trying to manipulate ukraine to their purposes menendez tried it murphy tried it biden tried it trumps tried it they're all doing it they are all trying to manipulate ukraine to get some kind of investigation either and investigation or started investigation the everyone does it defense except no other president in the history of the country has been proven to do what trump allegedly did a slim majority of americans now support impeaching the president and removing him from office both sides we watching to see if that changes with public hearings the results could determine the president's fate in office and in the history books. washington. white house correspondent kimberly hell kid standing by for us in the states 1st let's go to heidi jo castro who's on capitol hill heidi just talk us through what's going to happen today. well peter the star witness of this impeachment inquiry thus far is expected to take the stand in public this morning and that is ambassador william taylor who is the acting ambassador currently in ukraine and if this

menendez: mr. president, i come do the floor today to talk about the united states relationship with turkey and certain actions that the united states must consider in order to protect our national security interests and those of our true allies in the region. today more than ever we need strong allies and partners in europe. as the trump administration does nearly everything in its power to erode our alliances and denigrate our closest friends, we find increasingly emboldened regimes in russia and china. the u.s. cannot stand up to them alone. throughout the cold war, our diplomats worked assiduously to build strong bonds with allies knowing that having close partners was better than having enemies on the world stage. our strongest allies should be those in nato, those who have made a treaty commitment to mutual defense, those who share our values, those who cork in concert with us to face the threat from countries like russias and iran with common cause. unfortunately, turkey under erdogan embodi

the other part is i was looking forward to serving the administration but was blocked senator, menendezfused to give me a hearing. i never got confirmed into a trade position i really felt i could help the administration with. >> fairly tight before you stepped down. are you expecting it to be easier this time? district, i won by a small amount. president trump or hillary clinton. about an eight point lead. in out of every hundred people voted for this conservative having voted for hillary clinton. this is a trump plus 15 district. a different dynamic even though it is a few miles apart. >> you were energetic. how do you feel about what adam schiff is doing right now? >> i came into congress with .hat -- with adam schiff he complained about jim wrote them. there is more than a little when heat he thought was running 19 years ago the impeachment of bill clinton was wrong. will be ok.ything i'm disappointed. high crime or misdemeanor but they are looking for one and that is not how appeasement is supposed to work. you're supposed to find the crime and then impeach the president. the only

population and represent the largest ethnic group in the united states, that's why i cosponsored senator menendez bill to establish the smithsonian american latino museum. i also supported an amendment during for consideration during the bill which for provide 1.5 million for the latino center and expand programming for existing museums. if the final bill includes the increase of what you plan to do with the additional funding and more broadly what steps are you taking to ensure the smithsonian is including the latino experience in all of its museums. >> one thing i'm proudest of is the fact during my entire career at the smithsonian we created the latino center. that has transformed the smithsonian. as you know the real power in the smithsonian are people who do the research and bring in the collections. what the latino center has allowed us to do is invite curators have the expertise and we can have the african-american museum or the art museums, we want to build on that in my senses any support we get will allow us to continue to hire people that will help the center do its work also as you kn

but bob menendez went on trial for corruption.couldn't prove a nexus and they had aing hung jury. absent a smoking gun document that says here is money, give me your vote. david: there is a law out there saying you cannot accept funds for a particular vote. you cannot confer a benefit to a foreign government or anybody in exchange for something of value. i.e. money. that violates a variety of anticorruption statutes. gregg: if worse, she violates the house rule, the appearance of impropriety. but even there that's probably not enough. there is another law that holds members of the house of representatives to strict acting for foreign money. if there is any connection between this organization which is based sheer and turkey, then she is in trouble as well. >> the money appears to have come from the personal wallet of the purported cousin of the turkish prime minister and not necessarily through the lobbying group as i understand it it's not a huge amount of money. it's not like the ukrainians are recently criminally charged. david

bob menendez say they won't support the plan if warren wins and her plan came up for a vote on capitol hill. warren's 2020 competitors also slamming her proposal, even bernie, mother loving sanders, medicare champion, said that warn's funding plan would have a having negative impact on creating jobs, which people tend to deserve unless they gy them s of my own from the federal job plan. >> this is something that john delaney does not get enough credit for. he said -- elizabeth warren's plan and bernie sanders plan, would get rid of permanent -- or private insurance. that was a huge mistake. democrat ran on that. kennedy: everyone said, klobuchar and mayor pete saying that. >> it looks good now. >> give me one second so voters can google john delaney. >> everyone saw that debate performance. kennedy: he within -- -- went ar everyone. >> he bet me $10,000 he was going to lose. >> i am looking forward to that. kennedy: we'll get a mack magnum of what is really expensive and drink champagne. >> are you watching andrew yang? i think he will be a final 4. kennedy: after mayor pete? >> a ron

. >> senator menendez. >> thank you, mr. chairman. the topics of today's hearing are of particular importance to me as new jersey is in the midst of a large medical marijuana expansion. and i have concerns that cannabis and cannabis-related businesses will continue to find themselves shut out of the financial and insurance systems. for example, if an insurance company is required to offer coverage to a cannabis business under state law, the insurer faces a serious and fundamental conflict between state and federal laws. that's why yesterday i introduced the claim act with paul merkley and kramer to end the confusion and legal exposure that arises between the state and federal insurance laws. mr. chairman, i'd like to -- mr. chairman, i'd like to introduce a -- mr. chairman, the acting chairman, introduce a letter of support from eight insurance trades into the record. >> you can do anything you want with me as acting chairman. >> then i'd like to ask you now to consent to the claim act -- no. thank you, mr. chairman. miss pross and mi

menendez said if you don't keep investigating trump we will scut your aid. murph said if you investigate hunter biden we will get rid of your aid. i would say you don't get any because we don't have any money. >> bret: what about the concern about protecting whistleblowers overall if you name this person jeopardized other things. in 2014 campaign for liberty founded by your dad. you said we have so many millions of government contractors when they see something wrong they should report it without repercussions. your dad should we should praise our whistleblowers? >> absolutely. >> bret: so why are you doing this? >> we were defend snowden who i think he should have gotten whistleblower status. most of the people defending the current whistleblower wanted to execute showden. i want snowden protected so he is not executed. >> bret: what about this guy? >> i don't want him executed or fired. it's a protection from being fired and not a protection to be anonymous particularly for a criminal case. once you have a crime there is a constitutional protection you hav

that's why i've cosponsored senator menendez's bill to establish the smithsonian american latino museumo support an amendment during floor consideration of the interior bill which would provide an additional $1.5 million for the latino center and expand programming for existing museums. if the final bill includes that increase, what do you plan to do with the additional funding and more broadly, what steps are you taking to ensure that the smithsonian is including the latino experience in all of its museums? >> one of the things i'm proudest of is been the fact that during my entire career at the smithsonian we created the latino center. what that latino center has done has transformed the smithsonian. as you know, the real power in the smithsonian museum directors are secretaries curators. it's people who do the research bring in the collections and what the latino center has allowed us to do is embed curators who have the expertise in the museum of american history and african american museum or art museums so we want to build on the and that my sense is that any support we get will a

acaba de terminar la presentaciÓn de los argumentos y nos encontramos con el congresista bob menÉndezse mÍnimo con los otros cuatro miembros de la corte que por su pregunta, debo entender que ellos creen que el programa es legal y debe continuar. ilia: ahora, senador, hablando de la posibilidad de un acuerdo bipartidista, el presidente trump ha expresado la intenciÓn de querer negociar con el congreso otras cosas para su permanencia. como por ejemplo una mÁs estricta seguridad en el tema de inmigraciÓn a cambio de un acuerdo bipartidista. bob: mira, yo no creo nada, este tema, por lo menos, de lo que dice el presidente trump. Él dijo que querÍa tratar estos muchachos con amor, que actualmente querÍa ayudarlos e inmediatamente terminÓ el programa. fue decisiÓn suya y de su administraciÓn de terminar el programa, no de una corte. si hubiera querido actualmente mantener el sueÑo de estos soÑadores no hubiera terminado el programa en primer lugar. dudo mucho de que Él quiera negociar porque ha tenido tres aÑos para negociar y no lo ha hecho. jorge: gracias por estar aquÍ, gracias por todo

menendez said if you don't investigate donald trump and the mueller investigation, we'll cut your aid. so everybody seems to be threat penning the aid. >> why is it not a case of extortion? >> like i say, everybody seems to be threatening their aid. president trump was told told. he didn't giving them blankets. hoe chose not to give aid even though congress told him to. he withheld aid. i think presidents from times past have tried to influence and give aid and they don't always give it the way congress tell themselves and there's a dispute between the branches. but that's a public policy dispute. if we're going to impeach presidents over everything that's a public policidy putte, we're going to criminalize the president and be in this all the time. >> final question, why doesn't the president just own it and stop saying no quid pro quo and instead, senator, say there was a quid pro quo, it was all about corruption and i didn't want to have them get the money? >> right. if you're my bark barber and yo my hair for 20 bucks, that's quid pro quo. we've gotten tied up in sml something. it
