entire community in marshall county and our gratitude is with the first responders who rushed into harm's way. now on another matter, mr. president, we might call today the first day of the rest of the 115th congress. yesterday an overwhelming bipartisan majority of senators voted to end a filibuster of government funding and conclude a short-lived shutdown of the federal government. this regrettable episode reminded all of us that in the united states senate brinkmanship and hostage taking simply do not work. the only path to meaningful progress is the hard work of crafting legislation and provide, and persuading colleagues on both sides to support it. yesterday evening our agreement to reopen the government, securely funding for our men and women in uniform, extend health insurance for vulnerable children and further delay three obamacare taxes was signed into law. now serious negotiations can resume on key issues such as immigration and border security, disaster relief, health care, and providing adequate levels of defense spending to support the new national defense strategy, just to name a few. because common sens

mr. president. first as we began the second session of the hundred 15th congress i welcome all of my colleagues back from holiday break and wish them a happy new year, wish our country a wonderful 2018. which is also gratifying to see two of the best former vice presidents that we have ever had on the floor today for the ceremonies and glad to see senators, former senators, former vice presidents as feisty, strong and giving us their opinions as they have ever been. it is also very exciting to welcome two new members of this body will be joining the democratic caucus, tina smith from minnesotag and doug jones from alabama. in joining this esteemed body both bring a wealth of experience in individual passions. former lieutenant governor tina smith brings with her several a years of experience serving at the highest levels of stateev government where she focused on economic development and expanding access to rural broadband in affordable healthcare. issues she will continue to fight for here in the senate.

mr. president. first, on the topic of net neutrality, since the administration's f.c.c. voted to end net neutrality in december, democrats have been working hard to round up enough senators to overrule the f.c.c.'s decision, which places control of the internet in the hands of the biggest corporations. today we reached a milestone. 50 senators will support senator markey's resolution of disapproval. all 49 democrats have signed on to cosponsor and my friend from maine, senator collins has also said she will support. with our full caucus supporting the measure, it's clear that democrats want to keep the internet from becoming a wild west where i.s.p.'s are free to offer premium service to the wealthiest customers while average consumers are left with far interior options. when we force a vote on this bill, republicans in congress will for the first time have the opportunity to right the administration's wrong and show the american people whose side they're on. are they on the side of big internet service providers and corporations or are they on the side of consumers, ent

mr. clinton: i was lost for the first three weeks after i left office. uld keep waiting for the music, you know. [laughter] mr. clinton: actually, it is wonderful. very rarely in 17 years have i even given a thought to -- i wish i were there, i could do this, or i miss this. i think you have to be grateful for the time you have and realize you should focus on today and the future. and i think it is both liberating and also it concentrates the memory. you don't know how many years you have left, but you feel that the country has given you something priceless and you owe something back. and so, each in our own way, we have tried to figure that out. i have found it a really rewarding part of my life. i have loved it. mr. bush: i woke up in crawford the day after the presidency expecting someone to bring me the coffee. [laughter] mr. bush: laura didn't bring the coffee. [laughter] i think the thing that startled me was the sense of having no responsibility. in other words, during the presidency you kind of become accustomed to the responsibility you have. fir

a child and the word monkey is used to describe children of all races because they're cheeky and mr first and you can see this across children's clothes for children of all races and this was part of a jungle themed clothing line the idea that this was somehow racially malevolent i think is utterly ludicrous i'm so disappointed by this campaign i've seen them do they always use a mix of models but this is really not you know it's real time to say the least is what this campaign is it's really badly thought by a board of white. because even if it was even if there's that opinion it's just like badly thought it might be parents that are negatively thinking about this you cannot deny the connotation that it held i don't think this has that connotation for the vast majority of people the vast majority of people think this is a perfectly innocent campaign involving children of all races involved in the jungle and i think it's really sad when adults pre conceptions about racism and race get read into childhood interactions i think that is potentially extremely corrosive if this kind of thinking

mr. schumer: first, before i get into the substance of my remarks, let me just answer the majority leader here. what leads to problems in this place? what leads to a government shutdown? one side deciding everything and then saying to the other side you must go along. the proposals sent over, here's what it doesn't do. doesn't give help needed for our veterans who wait in line for service. doesn't fight opioid addiction, the scourge of america. doesn't help our pensioners. and i'd say to my friends on the other side of the aisle and our defense hawks over in the other body, doesn't give defense what it needs either. it's a loser in terms of the things that this country needs. we could easily sit down and come to an agreement that would get the support of the majority of both sides, and it is the intransigents, frankly, of so many who say don't talk, don't negotiate, just do it our way or no way that has led to gridlock, that has led to the fact that the first year has been largely unsuccessful, and leads to the partisanship that america decries. democrats have shown time and time again we

gunderson a middle east specialist at kingston university london a very warm welcome to all of you mr first of all if you will your response to this new york times report on egypt you surprised by what a pretty shocking revelations i'm not sure how serious this report is or how accurate it is because it is building the whole story on information leaking from one officer. which contradicts the official positions that were declared by egypt we know that those israeli side so many other parties trying to put palestinians in confrontation with. not only the united states but also with many arab countries and we will not allow that to happen but that does not mean we should not be very clear about our position as you lose a limb is the capital of palestine anybody who there has to touch the rights of the palestinian people. in jerusalem over the rights of muslims and arabs in jerusalem or to christians as well will be perceived as a threat to the rights of people to history of this place ok and i do not buy much of what was said because i think it is exaggerated that it's only on one point but o

mr. terms first campaign manager, cory lewandowski, who continues to be a close advisor to the president.t's a "fox news sunday" exclusive. plus, new reports the fbi is investigating the clinton foundation, and that mr. trump tried to head off the rush of pro. >> everything that i've done is 100% proper. that's what i do, i do things proper. >> chris: we will ask her sunday panel which side is in more legal jeopardy. and our "power player of the week." >> for my entire life, i've tried to use the gift that god gave me to improve health. >> chris: all right now now on "fox news sunday." and hello again from fox news in washington. president trump and republican leaders met at camp david this weekend to plan their legislative agenda for 2018. but that was overshadowed by a new book about the president,w#Ñ that report some of his top advisors don't think is up to the job. coming up we will get reaction from corey lewandowski, mr. terms first campaign manager, who remains in close touch with him. first, cia director mike pompeo, who briefsq the president on the nation's most pressing intellig

our first witness is mr. stephen eve richardson, the assistant director for the criminal investigative division of the federal bureau of investigation. mr. richardson joined the fbi as a special agent in 1996. he has worked with the bureau in louisiana, tennessee, virginia and several stints at headquarters. throughout his career, he specialized in the investigation of white collar crime, public corruption, hate crime, violent crime, gang matters and counterterrorism. since april 2016, mr. richardson has served as assistant director of the criminal investigation division with oversight of all fbi criminal matters. thank you for being here today and -- does he recognize individually or all -- okay. well, thank you for being here today and we're going to recognize you individually so you can begin with your testimony, mr. richardson. >> representative perry, chairman mccaul, ranking member rice and members of the committee, i'd like to thank each of you for inviting me here today to discuss this very important

it was a busy first day for mr trump.t with the uk prime minister were and they discussed the details of his visit to britain later this year. donald trump also hosted a dinner with the head of the world ‘s biggest companies and discussed us economic policy. the head of one of india's biggest companies told the bbc that mr trump's america first policy will be on display at davos for his voter base. he likes talking to businessmen so he is coming to his community. i have another point of view. is also talking to his bast race back in america. that base is probably not very friendly to people at davos and i don't think they look kindly upon these gatherings of the 196. kindly upon these gatherings of the i%. i was told that he may in fact come here, talking to his base to say look, i went and met with davos man and told them about america first. the boss of goldman sachs was also in attendance. he told the bbc that us investment banks and their plans for brexit are reaching the point of no return but it is a sensitive subje

mr. president. first let me tell you how pleased i am, the people of maryland, that we are now in the process of ending this government shutdown. a government shutdown does not benefit anyone. it certainly doesn't benefit the federal workers who live in maryland and the federal workers around the nation. the uncertainty that a shutdown brings, those that are exempted are asked to work without knowing when they will get a paycheck. those that are on furlough don't know whether they'll ever get a paycheck or not. it's not in the interest of our federal workforce. it's certainly not in the interest of federal contractors who depend upon contracts that have been put on suspension. it's not in the interest of the public who depend upon governmental services and it ends up costing taxpayers more money. mr. president, i'm pleased to see that we're on a path to end this shutdown, to get government back up and a path forward. i also am pleased that we've at least accelerated by two weeks the deadline for getting a

mr. president. first, as would begin the second session of the 115th congress i welcome all of my colleagues back from holiday break, wish them a happy new year, wish our country and wonderful 2018. was also very gratified to see to it the best former vice presidents that we have ever had on the floor today for the ceremonies, and glad to see senators, former senators mondale and biden, former vice presidents mondale and biden as strong, feisty and giving us their opinions as they have ever been. it's also very exciting to welcome two new members of this body who will be joining the democratic caucus, tina smith from minnesota, and doug jones from alabama. in joining this esteemed body both bring a wealth of experience and individual passions. former lieutenant governor tina smith brings with her several years of experience serving at the highest levels of state government where to focus on economic development and expanding access to rural broadband and affordable healthcare, issues she will continue to

mr. cintron if i could. first for mr. owen's staffing level, i would just ask at the international service centers, would you talk to us about the staffing levels, how have they changed over the last five years at each of the last international service centers that in the last year, we have increased the cbp officers by 20% in direct response to this threat. prior to that i would say the staffing levels were pretty much stagnant for the last four or five years, but we have added 20% additional staff. >> was much made of our need to tighten our borders for a variety of reasons. human traffics, dogs, and other illicit activities. we focus a lot on border patrol agents. think we have 20,000 or more positions ta that are allocated, and i'm not sure that we have that number to fill. i'm not sure we're able to hire that many people. very have hundreds of positions. correct me if i'm wrong. i heard for a number of years that customs and border patrol could use some additional people. we focus on the borders between border crossi

mr. chairman. first let me welcome mr. azar. particularly i i want to welcoe your dad who is with us.mr. chairman, mr. azar grew up in maryland, , his father who ia distinguished physician and was involved in policy development in our state of maryland on health care policy, and i had a chance to work with windows in the state legislature, so it's good to see the family is here we thank mr. azar for his willingness to serve in this very important position. so the first question i'm going to ask you will be a parochial one with maryland. if necessary to future father involved here, and that is protecting some initiatives we've had in maryland. we have as you know and all higher rate system for hospital care that requires the attention of hhs to make sure we can continue to provide this uniform type service in our state. many states have come up with innovative ways to cut health and a health care system and we had a chance to talk about it but i just urge you to pay attention to these types of initiatives and the understanding that we may need ecial attention in order to be up to reser

mr. america first, is perfectly happy to sit over here. >> there is a redline here. he he is tested hundreds of bombs. he will keep it up, until he has the capacity to hit los angeles or seattle. there is a lot of american military men and others that say he is moving towards a redline. he hasn't crossed yet. i don't know szekely what we do. does the united states live with this? >> do you think this is the opportunity for national security hawks and individuals that have long pushed tariffs on trade to pressure china to pressure north korea more? are we at that point? >> i would agree with you. i think that kim jong-un is a smart guy. he is driving a wedge between south korea doesn't want a war in the united states who doesn't want those missiles armed with nuclear weapons that can hit us. >> right. i think it's like the double ma the two of them are acting like this. this is calculated. they're going to reach a point where, north korea doesn't want to cross that redline. >> i don't know if that calculation is right. i don't know about the cac elation on the preside

mr and mrs brown first met paddington on a railway station which is how he came to have such an unusuald on my father, very polite man, always wore a hat and paddington has a lot of him in him. good afternoon, he said, can i help you. there's parsley. sometimes mr 0nion lets him ring the bell. london, a lovely city. you can go to france or america, india, asia, australia, you're going to come back to london city. # london is the place for me.# i think there was a sort of reticence and nervousness that the women might take over all together. we might not present an acceptable face of cricket and i actually cried as i walked out onto the pitch. it was the most incredible feeling. commentator: rachel flynt, what a good piece of fielding but not good running between the wickets, though. umpire: advantage, miss graf. 0vercome with the emotion of it all. she just told me "jana, you will do it, i believe one day you will do it." she's done it! 50—1, blackburn rovers seven, nottingham forest nil. after our last programme, the editor of final score came with a box and when he opened it and produ

i'll kick off with michael first. mr. o'hanlon: thanks, nile. well, to answer the question, first, how to handle demonstrations like this i do think so far president trump is doing fine. and, you know, factoring in and adjusting for his particular approach to how he addresses diplomacy in general, which is not always my preference. but now that we know how he operates, i think the basic approach of supporting the protesters and condemning the government is generally fine. but i do think when you look more broadly at how we handle these kinds of situations let's imagine 2009 with president obama in iran or the arab spring and then how we try to help gently push and then more firmly push president mubarak out in egypt or try to encourage protests in syria and look what happened. we have to be a little bit aware of the down sides of luring people into thinking we'll come help them in a way that we won't. that would be my main caveat or caution would be, not that iran today is equivalent to syria, 2011, but sometimes these things take on lives of the

sentence in the "his first memory is an execution." what are you talking about? mr. harden: the story is about a kid at this point. he was born in camp 14, 1 of the political labor camps in north korea. his first memory, at the age of four, was going with his mom to a place where he grew up in the camp to watch somebody get shot. public executions in the camp were held every few weeks. they were a way of punishing people who violated rules, and of terrorizing 20,000-40,000 people who lived in the camp to obey the rules. brian: you say in your book you have been to north korea once. did you get to see a camp? mr. harden: nobody has been to a camp other than north korean guards and officials, and people who go to them almost never come out. there are now five or six of these camps, and they contain between 150,000 and 200,000 prisoners. with the exception of one camp, they are no-exit places where one goes if you are believed by or imagined by the north korean government of having done something wrong, of having been a wrongdoer or wrong-thinker. you go there without tr

full of political heavyweights such as may mccrone and to many surprise trump no one expected mr america first to even consider participating in a forum whose boast the globalist idea of creating a shared future in a fractured world and yet he's slotted to be the last speaker of the event and will most likely use that opportunity to soapbox about his own brand of economic nationalism and all the political elite continue to enjoy the conference and rub elbows the i.m.f. has warned that the current economic climate has caused voters to lose faith in them voters in many advanced economies have soured on political establishments doubting their ability to deliver broadly shared growth in the face of tepid real wage gains reduce labor shares in national income and rising job polarization and in reality that discontent really shouldn't be all that surprising given that those in the ninety nine percent aren't the ones enjoying the benefits of the recent economic growth oxfam who works towards the relief of global poverty has recently put out a report outlining just how dire the situation is revealing
