mr. rogers: thank you, mr. speaker. i'd like to yield five minutes to mr. shimkus of illinois, a member of the energy and commerce committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from illinois is recognized for five minutes. without objection. mr. shimkus: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank the ranking member for recognizing me. i also want to congratulate you for your position, which your peers have pointed to. i want to congratulate chairman thompson for being chosen to hold such a very important chairmanship. with that, let's -- let me come out and talk about my strong support of h.r. 251 and urge all of my colleagues to support this. last week every member of congress swore an oath to defend the united states. that, mr. speaker, is what we're here on the floor to do with this bill. in 10 days, as you've heard, the cfats, chemical facility anti-terrorism standards program, will sunset. this means everything about, it right down to its fundamental structure, legally disappears. including federal outreach and ne

mr. rogers: mr. speaker, i too rise in support of h.r. 424, the department of homeland security clearance management and administration act. president trump has directed a major security clearance and background investigation overhaul across the executive branch. this effort is under way in significant -- and significant progress has been made to reduce the backlog and improve the quality of background investigations. the bill we are considering today complements this initiative. this requires the secretary of homeland security to conduct an inventory of the department's positions that require security clearances. which currently number over 100,000. and determine what positions may be duplicative or are no longer necessary. it's just good government to periodically review the positions that require a, quote, need to know, and to ensure d.h.s. is not allocate funds for unnecessary background -- allocate -- allocating funds for unnecessary background clearances. the bill would ensure that d.h.s. condu

mr. rogers. won't you be my neighbor? >> i thought he did a wonderful job. >> please won't you be. >> my neighbor. >> be my neighbor. >> what you please be my neighbor. >> yes, i will. [laughs] >> laura, these films cumulatively made $1.2 billion at the box office. that's on par with 2010. this is actually one of the years when you had big films that made a lot of money that made it to the oscars. "black panther," is clearly the one most people saw. these other films. once you get past "a star is born" and "bohemian rhapsody," these other films. >> laura: i'm embarrassed. i'm actually embarrassed. it tells you how busy i was. i saw not one of these. >> none of them. >> laura: none, not one. >> they were not seen. they were unseen. >> laura: i have them at home because i'm a member of the screen actors guild. >> the rbg documentary was nominated for best documentary but mr. rogers. we have all seen and heard the political side of 29-year-old new york socialist congresswoman ocasio-cortez, one of y

and you know this is where mr rogers we have this guy named mr rogers in the united states and he has this quote about always finding the helpers and my grandfather was a helper he was a minister and i want to be a helper and you know we have people like stanley who just died and we honor the heroes that he's created by living as those heroes would expect us to live right we know we are inspired by those things and part of the reason we have so much mental health problems not only in the military of twenty two veterans a day that are reported killing themselves from all this of these conflicts if more than one third of the civilians in yemen are being destroyed or more than. civilians if i make sure it's closer to ninety percent imagine how many more veterans when they realize the tragedy of what they participated in like how they feel about themselves in why they're killing themselves it's it's it's a tragedy all around the brunt thank you and we'll hear from unicef on the ground in yemen a target of u.s. u.k. backed high tech weaponry after the break as well as this we tried modules

mr. rogers. mr. rogers: thank you, mr. commarme. i'm painfully familiar with this topic. i have been on the homeland security committee for 15 years. while we talked a lot today about the last 12 or 13 years where we have been repeatedly sending reserve and guard and active duty troops down there, it's been going on since the alamo and every decade in between. we have used d.o.d. assets for that mission. to get to the chairman's question and initial part of this hearing, what's it going to take for us not have to continue this pattern? we are going to have to adequately fund the department of homeland security instead of continually reaching into d.o.d. to subsidize that department. it's been inadequately funded since its inception by republican and democrat administrations. that has to be addressed. so one of the things this president's trying to address, been asking for money for fencing. and i'm just astounded by the fact we continue to act stupid in congress and fuss over things like $5.7 billion in fencing and it cost us $11 billion to shut the government down. i'd l

mr. rogers. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. rogers: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you to my esteemed colleagues, full committee chairwoman lowey, and ranking member granger. this six-bill appropriations package represents a lot of hard work for many of us on the appropriations committee. broadly speaking, this package is a fine example of compromise. members working across the aisle to do the important work of funding our government in an efficient and thoughtful manner. our appropriations committee delivered. nevertheless, while this legislation addresses many bipartisan concerns, i fear that it has no chance of becoming law in its current form without a compromise onboarder security. that is truly unfor the nafment -- unfortunate. we're holding up the government. we're causing a lot of people a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering. we need to get this done. regarding funding for the department of state, foreign operation, and other related programs, this portion of the bill provides important resources for our national security. it supports our allies and

and we stood there along with people like mrs. rogers, and franco harris and all the luminaries within pittsburgh. and a young minister came up to me and she told me this. she said it was 80 years ago today that kristallnacht happened. t was 80 years ago that people burned down synagoguing in czechoslovakia, germany and austria and police looked the other way. in pittsburgh they ran into the buildings with bullets flying at them. it was 80 years ago today jews were killed and politicians turned their back. in pittsburgh today we stand shoulder-to-shoulder, democrat and republican, to say never again. it was 80 years ago today that community leaders allowed the holocaust to begin and in pittsburgh today we stand as one to make sure that we follow what we believe to be the right way. we can defeat hate. i loved our expression stronger than hate, showing the steelers symbol with the star of david. it said something about not only pittsburgh but the response that came from around the world. it was more than we were saying that we were strong

mr. rogers. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from alabama is recognized for minutes. mr. rogers: thank you, madam speaker. i thank the chair -- the ranking member. tonight there will be a smoke and mirrors vote on this house floor. democrats want to kick the can down the road and put american security on the back burner while they gear up their obstructionist agenda. it used to be that members of congress could put partisanship aside at least on national security issues. i know this firsthand as a member of both the armed services committee and homeland security committees, where we have done this on a regular basis. but today the democrats and the speaker refuse to even negotiate funding a deal to deal with a critical national security issue. unfortunately it looks -- unfortunately it looks like we are in for a democrat agenda influenced by the far-left echo chamber that promotes open borders and illegal immigration. not too long ago, then-senator barack obama spoke in support of securing the southern border and the need to deter illegal immigration. the bill he supported

and we stood there along with people like mrs. rogers, and franco harris and all the luminaries within pittsburgh. and a young minister came up to me and she told me this. she said it was 80 years ago that kristallnacht happened, it was 85 year -- 80 years ago today that peel burned down synagogues and police looked the other way. in pittsburgh they ran into the buildings with bullets flying at them. it was 80 years ago today jews were killed and politicians turned their back. in pittsburgh today we stand shoulder-to-shoulder, democrat and republican, to say never again. it was 80 years ago today that community leaders athroid holocaust to begin and in pittsburgh today we stand as one to make sure that we follow what we believe to be the right way. we can defeat hate. i loved our expression stronger than hate, showing the steelers symbol with the star of david. it said something about not only pittsburgh but the response that came from around the world. it was more than we were saying that we were stronger than hate. we were saying that

mr. rogers -- this will not reopen the government. we've had debates on the floor for a number of weeks, good, bad or indifferent. unfortunately a lot of people are saying it was going to reopen the bill does the government, it did not reopen the government. i fear -- i'm not saying this to say to folks i told you so but i fear that once again this will not reopen the government. the president forward a good faith effort to address security and the military and crisis on the border and provide relief to hundreds of thousands of individuals and those on temporary protected status. i believe it was a sincere effort to reach across the aisle and move us closer to a deal that can get us to reopen the government. unfortunately democratic leadership dismissed the presidents offer before it had even been released. before they had an opportunity to look at that. which i thought was unfortunate. so we are now where we are. which is why, if i may talk about the amendment i bring forward. i do this with the hope that ,his amendment could allow u

mr. rogers documentary, "won't you be my neighbor." >> love is the root of everything. >> when it wasn'tinated, i thought, is it going to get nominated for best picture? it was that good. i was so surprised. people fell in love with him and the character. maybe they didn't love the film-making. >> this was, like, a blockbuster documentary making over $23 million not nominated, big crime. >> can we move on and talk about the movie "roma," which is the first netflix film to be nominated in a category. this leads the pack. let me be honest. this was a tough one for me to get through. >> kevin, you are not alone. you felt this way too. >> yeah. >> the first time you see it, it's a little slow. you have to kind of really get into it. it gets into it in the second hour. the second time you watch it, completely different. you see it for its poetic beauty. it deserves to win netflix best picture. >> they did a great job campaigning. i'm a broadcast critic. i know you are. they have campaigned like no other movie i have seen. pillows, chocolate. >> they hired the publicist who led the charge for

here are walter cronkite and roger mudd. mr. he first words of the new president of the united states. it seemed to me it was in the nature of soft-spoken, as he requested. but the eternal counsel to us, is subjects. >> very sensitive to the mood. at least this massive central party of americans who elected him. there were echoes in it of previous inaugurals from wilson, fdr, kennedy, and johnson. but mr. nixon is obviously listening to a different drummer. times have changed. mr. johnson four years ago talked first about justice. he emphasized that. that was an earlier stage. mr. kennedy ages ago had emphasized sacrifice, and he was speaking to the rest of the world and anyone who wants to be our enemies, almost a challenge. he talked of sacrifice and bearing any burden. this was not quite like that. it was very soft-spoken. he was the one who asked we lower our voices in this country, and he has set the style for that in the keynote or that himself. >> i'm outside the truman courthouse in independence, missouri, where c-span is

rob teedy, and mr. roger sh rone. representing google, mr. paul carth: representing roundport mortgage, mr. kevin broongart. ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to this historic state house. we are glad you're here. [ applause ] >> ladies and gentlemen, did you notice at the inauguration ceremony two weeks ago, on the steps, in addition to the display of the leadership of our academic institutions, the presence of 27 diplomats from 22 countries? they were there. these visitors are here for one reason. commerce. commerce. investment and prosperity. they see that we in this state are on the way up in this country. [ applause ] >> they know that we have recognized and are harnessing the catalytic power of the collaborations between and among business and industry and academia. in a word, it is called brain power. brain power produces commercial horsepower. and that horsepower drives our economic prosperity. ladies and gentlemen, we in south carolina are players in the greatest economic petition the world has ever seen. we must be bold, aggressi

mr. rogers. >>> the warriors play the lakers tonight, but that's not the big news.heck out this bombshell from steve kerr today. >> a lot of guys brought family members and draymond got engaged, a lot of great stuff. >> yeah, that's the breaking news. green and his new fiancee hazel renee have not confirmed kerr's report. the two have been linked since 2017. renee apparently appeared on several reality shows. >> right. >> good luck. >> you know her? >> no, no. i'm just saying good luck. congratulations. >> absolutely. draymond, you know, earlier in the season had the issue with kevin durant, very visible altercation on the bench. e missed a lot of games with an injury, but he has come back and come back strong. the warriors have won seven straight. >> the backup quarterback man manion, foothill high school. we got to go. >> we'll be right back. >>> up next one ice cream shop offering up an unusual reward to catch a group of vandals. served in a no-mess bag, my new deli trio and turkey, bacon, and cheddar pannidos are almost too easy to eat on the go. so panni-do eat

mr. rogers, mr. pompeo and mr. koets? and finally what did you mean when you told russian diplomats on may 10, 2017, that firing comey had taken the pressure off. could all of those questions have been inspired by this counterintelligence investigation that we didn't know about until your report friday? >> i think more to the point was that there were specific russia questions about things before trump took office that were in there. and we never sort of understood why. we thought that the president was simply looking at an obstruction criminal investigation, and we didn't know about this. but there were these other questions about his travel there in 2013, things he had said in the campaign about russia. what ultimately happens, which is sort of interesting here, we don't know what mueller did with the counterintelligence investigation from the fbi. but we do know as recently as november, mueller wanted answers to the questions about russia. and the ones about before trump took office. and those are the ones that trump a

i'm going to quote mr. roger stone because i'd ordinarily not say these words. ndictment is as, quote, thin as piss on a rock. this indictment. is this rock solid or is it as roger stone characterizes it? >> sure. well, i read through it on friday as i'm sure we all did. parts of it seem incredibly strong. and of course if mueller's team put it in there, they believe that they can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt to 12 jurors here in the district of columbia. but to look at one example of whether or not he had any text messages with in new york radio host, he told congress no, that guy doesn't text. earlier that day before he walked into congress to testify, he texted the guy 30 times. so that shows you a little bit of how much proof the mueller team thinks they have on this. >> roger stone is a famous flame thrower, conspiracy theorist, stir the pot, which i guess is fine in politics until you lie about it under oath. >> yeah, i mean you can do one thing in the political arena and the game changes once you put your hand up and say, you know, this is the truth

mr. rogers and i think, he would say don't be scared, life is good, life is special. >> everybody is so specials different. >> just go and do the thing you love. that always stuck with me. >> see you tomorrow. ♪ can you tell me how to get how to get to sesame street ♪ >> "sesame street" introduced my children to the interaction of people with different backgrounds. ♪ it's not that easy being green ♪ >> count that penny. >> count that penny? >> yeah, count it. >> okay. >> count. >> one. >> "sesame street" was aggressive in terms of learning not only concepts of reading, but concepts of interacting. >> i may be small. >> i may be small. >> but i am. >> but i am. >> somebody. >> somebody. >> "sesame street" was as big as it got in terms of celebrity. everybody wanted to hang with the muppets. >> aren't you johnny trash? >> cash. >> cash, cash. >> educational children's television really matured in the '70s. >> i'm leaving. >> i love you. >> i love you, too. >> oh, thanks. >> and now for something completely different. >> when i was 13, this show from england came on pbs, which before that was only

mr. rogers argument. you're special who you are.ray to ape our machines, measure ourself with utility value rather than essential that's why i end up on panels arguing for a place for humans in the future. there are many technologists who say human beings need to pass to technology. when the sing lart comes and they are smarter then we are they are the next life form. no, we should have a place for people. people are weird and funky and strange. there's some essential value to humans. we perceive reality. we can sustain ambiguity. he said to me, oh, rushkov, you say that you're you're human. >> i said, fine, guilty. i'm on team human then. i'm going to arpg human beings have some essential value. that's fighting words. >> fix this thing, douglas. figur fix it for us. what should we do, the llective we and the individual we. i notice in one article you said maybe you should get off social media. right? >> well, people should -- they really should feel at liberty to use what technologies they want and not use ones they don't want. the

mr. cronkite: neither the president or vice president are wearing gloves, you notice, roger, and vice presidentumphrey doesn't even have a coat on. mr. mudd: the weather forecast, now at least indicated we can get through the ceremony without the predicted rain and sleet they estimated earlier in the day. mr. cronkite: i think they said that was going to start at noon or after. don't get too optimistic, roger. it is cold out there. there is a northeast wind gusting to 25 at times. it is blowing in the wrong direction as far as those on the stand go, right in their faces. you notice in the dress of the president and vice president was in a sense dictated by the president-elect. humphrey just put that coat on, decided there might be a chill. mr. mudd: what is the formal approved male dress for today? mr. cronkite: it is decided by the president-elect. nixon elected for the club coat, the short, formal coat. not the tails as kennedy had. it was eisenhower who first broke the tradition with the club coat. the tailers thought this was a heinous offense, of course, but they got over it. kennedy went

there is a blurb on the nixon tapes where nixon is criticizing his friend bill rogers, secretary of state. >> [indiscernible] mr. moss: bill rogers was a personal friend. he was with nixon when he made the checkers speech and managed to keep his spot as the vice presidential candidate with 1952.ower in 52 -- in that is how diplomacy by passing bill rogers plays out. the state department was sidelined. it continues. rogers knew it was going on. there were confrontations about it. they got to the point where the national security council was sanitizing communications with the soviets to give it to the state department. they got a sanitized version. a week before going to the says yoummit, nixon have to warn the soviets to tell the soviet foreign minister not to talk about the back channel. ofis like the first rule fight club, do not talk about fight club. do not talk about the back channel in front of rogers, the secretary of state. >> [indiscernible] mr. moss: this was in 1969. -- 1972. three years later. that is saying something. this is a back channel. it works. one way it worked well was in a summit meeting,

mr. trump decades ago. >> roger's a good guy, strong nation, a lot of the things that i believe in. >> reporter: that close connection even noted in a 2017 documentary by the president's former campaign chair, paul manafort, since convicted by robert mueller of tax fraud. >> roger's relationship with trump has been so interconnected that it's hard to define what's roger and what's donald. >> reporter: today no indication that bond has broken. stone saying he will not testify against president trump. >> there is no circumstance whatsoever under which i will bear false witness against the president, nor will i make up lies to ease the pressure on myself. my testimony -- >> reporter: surrounded by a crowd chanting "lock him up," that relationship is now facing its biggest test. peter alexander, nbc news. >>> we turn to the power struggle in venezuela where americans are on edge tonight as the country faces grave uncertainty in the threat of more protests and violence. lucy kafanov has late details. >> reporter: after those massive protests calling for president nicolas maduro to go, venezuela's cr

william rogers, of course, one of richard nixon's oldest and most trusted advisors. after the the period eisenhower heart attack when mrnixon retreated to the arms of his friends, he retreated to the home of william b rogers, then attorney general. he has long counted on his advice. the major way stations on the way to the nixon presidency, there are the johnson daughters. mr. mudd: right behind them the ixon daughters. patricia, and julie, and david eisenhower, her husband of less than one month. the stands are rising now to applaud the arrival of the sons and daughters of the presidential family. rogers,douglas according to the information i have, who is the son of william rogers, the escort this afternoon for patricia. you look at the resemblance and they might be brothers. uld mudd: it would be woode it not? they are all seated and rose divided by the center aisle. the soft chairs are reserved for mr. agnew, mr. johnson, and mr. humphrey. 1, 2, 3, 4. everybody is in place. mr. mudd: the diplomatic corps, president the senate. nixon is in richard russell's office. mr. russell is one of the senior .embers of the hous

mr. trump's lonime adviser roger stone. for analysis of what is and is not in the latest indictment and what may be next, we turn now to ryan goodman, a professor of law at new york university school of w. he is also the founding co- editor in chief of the website just security which focuses on u.s. national security law and policy. thanks for joining us. so, what was the significant part? what did you learn out of these indictments? >> so i think the most significant part that we din' know before is just howin icated the relationship was between the campaign and roger stone. so, he had formally lefhe campaign months earlier, but it seems apparent that the specials counsel knhat he was in regular communication with senior trump campaign officials, and then on a specific mission to g information about, if not actually get the stolen email documents tt wikileaks had. so that changes the complexion of our understanding, in so respects, of the russia investigation, because if roger stone is acting essentially s an agent of the

mr. trump's long time associate roger stone on seven counts. it was in short a very bad week for the president. we have a brand-new nbc news "wall street journal" poll completed before friday's events that indicates despite the drawn out shutdown the president's base, though, has stuck with him. mr. trump's approval rating stands at 43% with 54% disapproving. it's exactly where it was a month ago before the shutdown. obviously we know that other polls have shown a notable drop in that time. but our poll also found a notable drop in another category, the right direction wrong track numbers, they are the worst of mr. trump's presidency with just barely a quarter of the country, 28%, saying that we are headed in the right direction. and that's reflected in this word cloud of how people feel about the state of america right now with words like wrong track, disappointed and disaster dominating the responses. again, all of this was before friday's stone news and the end of the shutdown that was widely seen now as pointless. so after 35 days of pain,

mr. trump's longtime adviser roger stone indicted recently for lying to intel however, mueller had to obtainripts before he could file those charges representatives, representative schiff says the first order of business for the committee will be to release all the remaining transcripts, but they can't do that until house republicans decide to assign members to the intel committee. which they haven't done. bring back our panel now of course, elly joins us as well trying to secretly sabotage this investigation by doing that? >> i think so. look, republicans have been able to pack the courts at a historic rate nothing has stopped them from pushing judge after judge after judge on the court but now when it comes to stack the oversight committee that just so happens to be in control of the mueller investigation, they can't figure out who they want to send up to the plate? >> intete committee. >> intel committee looks henke to me and remember the last person in charge of this committee was devon nunez who seemed to think he is trump's butler it's not exactly fair to say they are intentionally sab

can we say, this is a media circus that only roger stone could properly appreciate. >> quiet, quiet! whoa, whoa! mr. stone is going to speak. he speaks for himself. you know that roger stone has always spoken for himself. he's never been shy about telling his story. he is innocent. we're going to defend this case and we're going to win this case. but let me start out by saying that the spectacle this morning was completely unnecessary. everyone knows where roger stone is. he's not in hiding. the spectacle this morning with an s.w.a.t. team breaking into his house, searching the house, scaring his wife, scaring his dogs, completely unnecessary. a telephone call would have done the job and mr. stone would have appeared. but let me let roger speak for himself. he has nothing to hide. he has nothing to hide. and he's spoken before. he'll speak to you now. roger? >> thank you. [ booing ] >> as i have always said, the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. after a two-year inquisition, the charges today relate in no way to russian collusion, wikileaks collaboration, or any ot

mr. president! were you aware roger stone was updating your campaign on wikileaks?reporter: president trump refused to answer questions today about roger stone's alleged communication with the trump campaign about wikileaks, t t he did attack the special counsel on twitter writing, "greatest witch hunt in the history of our country. tr collusion." white house press secretary sarah sanders dismissed the charges. >> this doesn't have anything to do with the president, doesn't have anything to do with the white house. >> reporter: but the indictment mentions multiple campaign officials having contact with mpone about wikileaks. it does not name them, nor does it name the person who allegedly directed one senior campaign official to talk to stone about its releases. the president has repeatedly denied any cooperation between nis campaign and russia. >> there has been no collusion between the trump campaign and russians or trump and russians, no collusion. ep the sixth trump adviser, or campaign official, to be charged by the special counsel. overall, mueller has charged

but here we, roger stone day came he's had six months to prepare for this and i think he's in a pretty good position. >> very interesting, mrt you've dubbed roger stone day. thanks for coming on. >> my pleasure, ari. >> talk to you soon. >>> coming up, i have an announcement about person one from the stone indictment. next to the cafeteria and just chow down midday? -you mean, like, lunch? -come on. voted "most likely to help people save $668 when they switch." -at this school? -didn't you get caught in the laminating machine? -ha.
