mr. cleaver, for five minutes. mr. cleaver: mr. speaker, today i rise to speak about a very important issue to my constituents and missouri's fifth congressional district and frankly millions of farmers and rangers all across this great country. recently, president donald trump announced his intention to place a $50 billion, billion with a b, tariffs against chinese goods claiming china has been taking advantage of the united states for too long. i wish that someone in the white house, someone on the staff, had cautioned the president on the negative impact his launching of a trade ar would have on this country. this unvetted decision has and will continue to cause significant harm to many of my constituents and to rural americans throughout the heartland. following president trump's announcement of his intended tariffs, predictably the chinese responded with a $50 billion in proposed tariffs of their own. these tariffs, which would be as high as 25% would target 128 american products such as pork, corn, tton, soy beans, and specif

mr. cleaver, for five minutes. mr. cleaver: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i want to begin by saying that there are a lot of things in this farm bill that i actually agree with and i would ike to be supportive of such components of this bill. i agree with and would like to be a partner in getting this bill passed. however, there are some things i need to mention. for the last 50 years, democrats and republicans have worked together to combine food and farming programs in a bipartisan effort. however, when discussing the 2018 farm bill, which we will come up for a vote very soon, i want to shed some light on some things that don't quite add up. some things that aren't what i would call common sense. in essence, this bill aims to it restrict eligibility and reduce benefits of the nation's most effective anti-hunger programs, snap, formerly known as food stamps. moreover, this proposed bill dumps a massive burden on state governments. therefore, although i intend to be an active partner in the final passage of this legislation, i cannot and will not su

mr. cleaver: mr. speaker, thank u for allowing this moment that we are using to make some expressions of concern. thank you, mr. perlmutter, for organizing it. let me preface my comments, mr. speaker, by saying that when resident trump was elected against the advice and concern f my family, many campaign workers and supporters, i attended the swearing-in because i believed and still believe and will always believe that my responsibility is -- as a member of congress was to be at the inauguration as a member of congress. and then at the first joint session, not the state of the union, but the joint session, many of my friends and family said, you know, do not go. the president is alien to our concept of decency and democracy. i came anyway. i sat not too far from where i'm standing now. i also then went to the state of the union. some of our colleagues chose not to come. when there was a resolution of impeachment placed on the table for a vote, i voted to table it. against the person i've known in cong

mr. cleaver, ranking member of the housing insurance subcommittee. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr.mulvaney, thank you for being here. do you have any idea how long you're going to be director of omb and the head person over at the cfpb? >> here is -- omb position i will stay as long as the president will have me. that is not a term-limited type of position. so that's a separate question. the cfpb which what most people ask me about, here is what i know about the role, mr. cleaver, i'm allowed for vacancies act six months, which expires june 22nd. if the president has not formally nominated somebody by that point, then i would have to leave. if however, the president formally nominated someone to that date i'm allowed to stay until such time that person is confirmed by the senate. bottom line i don't know the answer to your question. we sort of tell folks we, given how long it has taken senate to take up confirmations probably well into the fall or end of this year. >> my guess is that there won't be a nominee by june. and so i -- >> then would i have to leave june 22nd. >> but can

cleaver was a hero to me. i remember one of my friends and ie his album, i listened to his speeches. -- mr. ed to do cleaver was a hero to me and i listened to his speeches. the 60's was a spiritual movements to advance the program of this country, which was so dominated against us because of the color of our skin, the melanin. and then he gave us so many names, but act than we were called need grows and collards --negroes and coloreds. which ifcame blacks, you look in the dictionary, it is all negative. hatred introduces himself in different faces and colors and stuff. so we need to do something to change things. everybody is waiting for us. host: i will let you take that one, officer cleaver? prof. joseph: i think what you are complaining about? prof. cleaver: it is something we would refer to as white supremacy which has been a key component of america from its beginning. point, whitehis supremacy is in trouble, because the majority of the american population, i say within that next 25 years, will not be a white population. it is increasingly latino, african-american, asian. they have the

cleaver joining us. did you want to add something, mr. joseph? >> when we talk about the media aftermath of dr. king's assassination, his funeral in atlanta is going to be seen by over 100 million americans. his -- his coffin is carried by a mule train in atlanta. every major presidential candidate attends king's funeral, so that's eugene mccarthy, bobbi kristina kennedy, that's hubert humphry and president lyndon johnson does not attend because of security. king was afforded the equivalent of a state funeral and when we think about what's going on in college campuses, black communities, there's huge sense of mourning, at times, there's sense of rage, there's only 125 cities that erupt in some kind of violence and there's also a sense of organizing that takes place, as well. so when we think about the king assassination, it becomes a glob at event. there's going to be this -- global event. there's going to be this demonstration around the world, europe, africa, latin america, are sending telegrams to the king family and telegrams to the united states in solidarity with king's memory. so king is
