mr. mccarthy had a lot of time to hog the stage alone. now, the question we're asking all of our participants is, the one thing you learned last night about president obama was blank, was what? >> was that he's going to reach out to congress and continue to act -- ask the republicans to find common ground but that after five years of trying to do that we have a lot of progress that we need to continue to make and he's not going to wait on them. he's going to take the actions that he needs to take to ensure we can continue to move america forward and help more people reach the middle class. the ball is in their court. >> so if you listen to mr. mccarthy and as these fine folks just did, he said there's a bunch of bills the president wants to streamline the job training programs, that's sitting in the senate. the skills act that house republicans passed. house republicans said they've done all this stuff and the president and harry reid have ignored it. what's your response to it? >> my response is we have to make sure that when we are tryi

mr. mccarthy, the manager of the port operations. take it no one's moving very much in this port. >> well, it's weird. nobody is moving. our main objective is to get some of these ice jams careered out of here so we don't have future flooding. >> how do you get them clear? >> we have a barge with a hot tow on it, a backhoe machine type that breaks up the ice. it floats out into the lake. >> madam mayor, you were trying to get help from the coast guard over the weekend. >> yes, they did try to come in the vermillion harbor but it was too shallow. it needed 14 feet and we had 12 feet. they were only able to open the mouth of the river. >> is this normal? is this what happens there? >> every year, we have a thaw, but normally with the barge that the city hires and breaks up the ice, we might have minimal flooding but not to this extent usually. >> the concern is, though, the long-term question or, i guess, long-term here being whenever it warms up, there is a big risk that this is going to flood? >> correct. >> so describe that to me. i

mr. mccarthy, have made extraordinary progress in this regard but we need this help. can you be more specific in terms of the resources and personnel that you will make available to help us fight these problems with violent crime? >> we're looking to come up with ways to increase the number of federal agents who are in chicago on either a temporary basis or permanent basis, also looking for grants we can make available to the city. i am going to be speaking to mayor emanuel tomorrow. the purpose of the conversation, at least one of the things we'll be talking about, are the specific needs he can identify that we might be able to help with. i will also be talking to the u.s. attorney there to get his perspective on this as well. i think that we want to do as much as we can but i don't think that that should obscure the fact that the city administration, working with the new u.s. attorney, i think has made significant progress. i don't think necessarily get all the credit they deserve for a pretty dramatic decrease in crime in chicago. but there is federal assistance we

mr. mccarthy. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mccarthy: thank you. i want to thank you. the news from california is not bright. current news, our drought is the worst in a century. governor brown has declared a state of emergency because of the drought. our water storage is at near empty. farmland is going foul. drinking water is threatened. 17 communities can go dry in four months. absence from god, our options are limited to ease this pain. it didn't have to be this way. so why are we here today and why are we debating this bill? well, without action, farms are going to go fallow. so what does that mean for the rest of the nation? a lot of people don't look what happened throughout california in the central valley. most of the produce is produced there for the nation and the world. if you just look at a few, 94% of all tomatoes, 93% of all broccoli, 89% of all carrots, 78% of all lettuce, so that means prices will go up. but it also means you're going to buy that produce somewhere else. you're going to buy it overseas. maybe china, maybe mexico. what about the food saf

mr. mccarthy and mrs. mcmorris rodgers, have convened the hope group, which is our group looking at the alternative for obamacare. urged them yesterday, continue their work. >> you mentioned that chairman ryan will do a balanced budget. does that mean it will be a complete budget? there definitely -- >> i certainly expect so. >> given the splits in your party over the flood insurance bill -- >> what splits? there are no splits in my party. >> and the opposition of chairman hensarling, could you avoid some of this angst by bringing up in regular order? why don't do you it that way? >> majority leader is working in a bipartisan way with ms. waters and ms. pelosi and others to address the problems in the flood insurance program. while there certainly needs to be some fiscal sanity brought to this program, the way it is deemed implemented is just not sustainable. everybody understands it. the senate bill, in my view, doesn't really solve the problem. and i do think that the effort that's under way is a serious

mrs. by the name of mccarthy. name probably won't mean a lot to a lot of people. she was someone who was a washer woman. she washed clothes for women who didn't look like her or think like her and many who probably didn't even know her name. but this woman, in her own little wisdom, truly understood the value of when women succeed, america succeeds. you know why? she took her pay every week and she put it in a jar and she saved it. you see, she didn't have children, she didn't have a spouse or brothers and sisters. and she wrote a little note saying that she wanted these dollars to go to a child that was underserved, a child who would be able to take these few dollars and get a college education. because that would make a difference in that child's life. well, at the time of her death, someone opened up that container and in that container there was an estimated amount .f $150,000 so when i think about when women succeed, america succeeds mrs. ll add the name of mccarthy to that list, because that's what we're talking about tonight when we talk about members of th

[applause] thank you, mr. chairman. it is with great pleasure that i welcome you, chair yellen, to deliver your first testimony. your presence here today is historic and well deserved. your record of distinguished service in government, academia, and at the federal reserve makes you uniquely qualified to navigate considerable challenges that lie ahead. your career in public service has been marked by high praise from economists and policy makers from across the political spectrum. in the face of an increasingly complex and interconnected global economy, your sound judgment has been validated time and time again. in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis, you actively identified the risk to the economy and spoke up, telling colleagues, " the possibilities of a credit crunch developing, and economy slipping into recession seem all too real." you pushed to challenge conventional thinking about the limits of monetary policy and appropriately encourage the fed to act.
