mr. ryan: i'd like to yield two minutes to the distinguished majority whip, mr. scalise, from louisiana. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from louisiana is recognized for two minutes. mr. scalise: i want to thank the gentleman from wisconsin for his leadership in bringing this bill to the floor. mr. speaker, american trade is critical to strengthening our economy and giving america -- american workers the competitive advantage that we need so we can go out and sell more of our goods around the world. there aren't many impediments for foreign countries to bring their products into our country and sell their goods here, but there are many many impediments when we want to sell our products that we make by american workers to foreign countries. especially in asian countries and european countries. those countries right now, our allies around the world, want to get good trade agreements, good level playing fields so that we can have good negotiated trade back and forth and sell more of our pr

mr. ryan: i yield one minute to the gentlelady from california. mrs. walters: i rise in promoting t.p.a. and i thank paul ryan for his leadership. t.p.a. is not to be confused with t.p.p. which would put congress in the driver's seat. it would ensure that the president is held accountable to congress and the american people in negotiating all trade deals. t.p.a. a public document which i have read and is available for the american people to read, in fact, it's right here, would require the president to make public any free trade agreement before it comes to congress for a vote. trade is a vital part of our economy. one in five jobs is supported by trade and 4.7 million jobs depend on trade in california. right now, american companies cannot compete on a level playing field. trade barriers make it difficult to sell goods to the 95% of consumers that live overseas. free trade agreements would put in place fair and strong rules for u.s. companies to compete and win. if congress fails to pass t.p.

mr. ryan: are we not ready to recess? mr. ryan: mr. speaker, let me inquire as to the time allotment between the two at this time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from wisconsin has 21 1/2 minutes. mr. ryan: 21 1/2? the gentleman from michigan? the speaker pro tempore: 25 for the gentleman from michigan. mr. ryan: would the gentleman from michigan want to equalize and yield some time to one of his speakers? mr. levin: ok. i yield two minutes to the gentleman from texas, mr. doggett. mr. doggett: thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for two minutes. mr. doggett: mr. speaker some have called trade adjustment assistance burial insurance since it delivers limited help after a job is dead and buried. at a time when fast trackers are claiming that they will include over half of the world economy, we need a t.a.a. that is funded for more workers at risk of job loss. unfortunately this particular t.a.a. proposal is really short for taking away assistance. i

mr. ryan: mr. speaker the question before us today, it's really pretty simple. is america going to shape the global economy? or is it going to shape us? 95% of the world's consumers, they don't live in this country they live in other countries. so if we want to create more jobs in america, we've got to make more things here in america and sell them over there. in fact, one out of every five jobs in america already today depends on trade. and you know what? that's a good thing. because these jobs pay more. they pay on average 18% more. but while the world is moving full steam ahead, we have been standing still, mr. speaker, we haven't completed a trade agreement in years. today there are 262 free trade agreements in place across the world. we are party to 14. since 2007 when the last version of trade promotion authority expired, there have been 100 trade agreements negotiated and signed. the u.s. is a party to none of those. china is negotiating seven agreements right now including one with 16

mr. ryan: i'm very proud of this congress today. i'm very proud of the house republican caucus. i'm also very proud and thankful for the pro-trade democrats that kept their word and stuck with us in this process. america is being watched by the rest of the world as to whether or not america is going to lead in the world. and i think this sent the right signal. now the president has some work yet to do with his party to complete this process. this isn't over yet. and we hope that they can get together and make sure that we finish this so that america is back leading. our constituents are expecting us to make a difference. the people of this country need a faster economy. they need more opportunity. we need to open markets. we need to write the rules of the global economy instead of having others to do so. this is what's at stake. that's why i'm so proud of our caucus today, of the pro-trade democrats today and that i am hopeful that the democrats understand the consequences and get together wit

mr. ryan: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. ryan: well, welcome back, everybody. i have to admit i'm a little disappointed that we are back here today. last week a bipartisan majority stepped up to pass trade promotion authority. that vote showed that republicans and democrats can still come together to do what is right for this country. it was a vote that i'm very proud of. unfortunately, many of our friends on the other side of the aisle would not stand with their president and voted to sacrifice a program that they support, a program that they asked for in order to block our path. it was disappointing, but we are not going to be discouraged. that's why we are back here today. enacting trade promotion authority is critical for our economy and our national security. and so we are going to get it done here today. why do we need t.p.a.? well, mr. speaker, it's pretty easy. easy question to answer, because we need more trade. 95%

mr. ryan: i'd like to yield one minute to a senior member of the house ways and means committee, the gentleman from texas, mr. brady. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for one minute. mr. brady: thank you, chairman ryan for your leadership. free trade, economic freedom. with as little government interfeernts as possible. it's one of the great economic rights of every american. given the choice between more economic freedom or less, we should always choose more. we know if america doesn't lead in fair trade, we'll grow weaker and our foreign competitors will grow stronger and our factories and manufacturers will be priced out and shut down. texas is made for trade. america is made for trade. it's time through expanded trade to preserve these economic principles that have helped us thrive and grow. that's why congress flexing its constitutional muscle and setting clear rules for future american trade is not just a good thing for america. it's a great thing. i yield

mr. ryan: reserve. mr. levin: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from wisconsin another distinguished member of our committee, mr. kind. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. kind: last week in a bipartisan majority this house granted trade promotion authority to elevate standards and level the playing field for our farmers, workers and businesses so we can effectively compete. it's time for us to move forward and i feel confident with the assurances we have received from the republican leadership, this body will have another opportunity to also pass trade adjustment assistance so the training programs and education for the workers who need it will be in place. and out of consideration for some of our colleagues who are trying to get home with their communities after last night's terrible shootings, i yield back the remainder of my time and encourage my colleagues to support this legislation. it's time for america to move on. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from wisconsin contin

ryan chilcote there as we await comments by mr. putin. ryan which audience will mr. putin speak to? peaking to a russian audience of course. he is always speaking to a russian audience, even outside of russia. it is geopolitics and the subject of the day is really they need you making -- is the eu making a move on assets. this is the compensate the investors to the $250 billion -- the eight year with moving on russian state assets and possibly going to seize them. we just heard from the foreign minister saying, hey, this is tit for tat. tom: very good. thank you so much. joining us this morning, the former secretary of defense -- the excuse me here, i'm gasping. mr. secretary, when i look at this moment for vladimir putin speaking to russia and america but more than anything, to europe. this new nato we have training right now -- where will nato be in six months? >> it is unlikely to be where it is today. frankly, i have been disappointed in terms of the capability that nato has and the response ability the united states has to carry it. it used to be on a 50-50 share basis and now w

mr. ryan, is the president right?says obamacare is now the law of the land and that's that. >> i don't agree with that, john. i think this law is going to collapse under its own weight. i'm as motivated as ever before to repeal and replace this law and that's what we're working on. what i really worry about john, with this ruling is the grave injustice it does to the rule of law. so much for calling balls and strikes. i think justice roberts is now counting foul balls as home runs. look, i think that they've done a great disservice to the country because they're rewriting laws at the bench. we had three constructionists on the court when we should are have had five. i'm shock the at this lulling but -- ruling but it does not deter us what we really want which is affordable care for everybody and let people choose what they want to buy and that's not what this law does. >> but as practical matter, you're going to work against it. what can you do now? >> well, as practical matter it means we need to win the 2016 electio

mr. ryan did i miss something here? don't the republicans have the majority in the house? if you get all republicans onboard, you're going to get everything you possibly want. but here's the key. trade adjustment assistance is something that the republicans have never been in favor of. when was the last time you saw republicans stand up and say, i really want to help the unemployed. i want to help those who fall by the wayside because of a bad trade deal? this in itself underscores that the transpacific partnership is a rotten deal or they wouldn't be haggling over taa. the key player is nancy pelosi. pelosi was largely responsible for helping to defeat taa on friday. pelosi and the democrats, their bottom line they don't believe that the adjustment assistance goes far enough for displaced workers. now, pelosi made clear that congress needs to also act on a highway bill. >> i will be voting today to slow down the fast track to get a better deal for the american people. bigger check, bigger paychecks, better infrastructure help the american people fulfill the american dream

mr. takeo. ryan is in walnut creek where it's hospitalled to be -- expected to be 100 degrees today. >> reporter: good morning, even further into the east bay we're talking about temperatures maybe topping out at 104. here at walnut creek at heather farm park at the pool where you can cool off today and you tee folks here for the walnut creek master swim team trying to beat the heat this morning. the national weather service issued a heat advisory for the afternoon inland from 1:00 until 8:00 tonight warning the combination of heat and tombty can as -- humidity can cause heat illnesses. it's going to feel especially hot because temperatures recently have been cooler than normal. >> it's been cold in may. and even part of june it's been cold. they really, really haven't even had any hot days. >> does that make this feel holter today? >> it does because we're not used to it. >> reporter: especially with cooler than normal temperatures in may. it's going to be like a shock to the system forecasters say.

ryan: when president obama said at the g7 meeting president clinton's ambition -- president putin's ambition is to restore -- mrshenko: i know better than anybody that this is true. ryan: you think that estonia is under threat? mr. poroshenko: beforehand, it was in georgia. conflicts can bring an improving of the situation creating all the conflict which makes hundreds of thousands of people in a ous way. disaster jeb bush is officially announcing he is going to run for presidency. he think the u.s. should give ukraine with the weapons. that is something that the obama administration has not prepared to do yet. jeb bush was in estonia last week, before the state announcement. have you had a chance to speak with him about ukraine? how do you think having a new person in the white house might change the dynamic? mr. poroshenko: i have experienced speaking with george bush, younger. a lot of time talking about ukraine. mr. poroshenko: i have a lot of communication with the members of the congress, both parties. ukraine is united. we have a strong bipartisan support. is not the approach because he is not -- because

mr. al-badri: no idea. ryan: $100 a barrel -- mr. talk about -- ryan: a tiny but growing minority of people who think there is a chance that opec could raise production. barclays is one of them. the idea is they are breaking the rules anyway. the ceiling is 30 million barrels and they are producing collectively more than 31 million barrels. saudis are pumping like there's no tomorrow, in may they produced more than ever on record. iraq is ramping up despite the threat from islamic state. then you have the issue of iran. we have negotiations, the deadline of june 30. if iran returns to the oil market and is able to export more oil than it is now, maybe some opec delegates are saying there should be room for them within the production target that they are already exceeding. we will watch. this should be an interesting one. guy: it is not just the opec ministers, pretty senior guys from the oil industry, the global giants. why are they there? why is bob dudley there? ryan: we will be talking to bob dudley in about an hour and a half. ove

he came out with mr. ryan. one of his rivals in the senate came out against it. are essentially looking at the same weighing of the republican party to get off grounds. host: he said he did not like this because there were that door deals made. what was said? what was promised to get to 60? guest: there have been all manner of side riemann. this is not white like old days were these included things like widening a hideaway. this has mostly to do with trade mostly to republicans. a main concern for republicans especially the most conservative republicans is that there is a essentially a default setting that republicans should not give rocco, permission to do much of anything. host: the huffington post says while the fate of the ill is a little unknown as these were being taken they notice there was one democratic senator who want around the table. as soon as it got to six the e-voting no indicating he might have been willing to switch if they needed him to vote. caller: he has been there ever since he came back on trade votes. i do not think i can get it totally r

. >> the only person that was there, me, your co, ryan and mr. >> i spoke with the corporal and i also spoke with the officer that was there at the time. corporal has read a statement saying at no time did he make any comments -- any sexual -- >> he did. i bet he did. >> let me finish what i'm saying. >> you guys are agreeing to each other. what is the sense of it. i'm looking like the idiot while your ceo agreeing with each other he never said it when he did say it. what's the sense of speaking more about it. there's no more to speak about. it's over. >> i'm going to continue with what i have to say, when i'm done talking, explaining to you the outcome, then you at that point you're more than welcome to comment or more than welcome to do whatever you feel is necessary. >> i'm going to. >> to resolve this however you think is appropriate. >> as i was saying, i spoken to the corporal and denies stating that at no time did he make comments of this nature to you. the officer that you said that was present during this has also read a statement statin

sergei lavrov sat down with our ryan and ryan mr.eally believe it's a realistic approach. i was a bit surprised that people paid so much attention to the fact that john kerry spent several hours with the russian leader and with his counterpart, because if you take 2013 of the euro of the crisis in ukraine which was used by some people, you know, to try to derail the relations between russia and the u.s. last year, john kerry and myself -- we met 17 times. more than any of my counterparts. i saw john kerry. and every time it was several hours. and it was a business-like discussion on syria. yemen. iraq. afghanistan. ukraine, of course. and the fact that another round of talks took place on the russian soil i mean, it's a welcomed sign, but more symbolic rather than substantive. ryan: that's what i was going to ask you because it's the quantity not quality of the time. 2009 we had the so-called reset in russian-american relations which as you know didn't go very far at all. i know what you've said is what we are seeing now between russ

. >> it's up eight points now we see all of the predictions, ryan, that if mrs.on identify with president obama would hurt her, has not hurt her at all. we just released a brand-new nbc poll. what does this tell you? >> the president's approval rating you know has gone up in coincidence with him taking more action from the white house, whether climate change orr i'm immigration order. the more he dealt with the base and satisfied those particular concerns, the stronger the entire country has rallied around him as you've often said progressive ideas are actually not that. you'll find 50% support. so hilary picking up some of these ideas clearly, is going to pick up a lot of that strength and what she's saying is this will be a base election and i'm not going to have some kind of sister soldier moment where i attack democrats but instead hillary clinton and democrats together will go into election day. >> and it has not hurt her, tara. she's openly embraced some of president obama issues some to positions, said bold things a lot of us are still watching to see and

mr. tsipras and we just hope for the best. ryanrprising thing is if the greek prime minister wanted to, he could probably get what the creditors are proposing through the parliament buts his own party and electoral base behind him. that is what this is going to come down to. if gets a deal in brussels, he has to sell it to his support base here and that may not be so easy. credit suisse said that might require a messy realignment within the party itself. back to you. francine: hans nichols is also joining us from brussels. it seems that actually the two sides are hardening their stance. how difficult is it going to get to get an agreement? hans: well, it depends on what we're talking about. if we are talking about making the numbers add up, it seems like there is a way forward there. if greek proposal and european proposme need to be merged. the greek po postal more importantly needs prior actions. whether or not anything that comes out of that saturday meeting will have anything for debts reduction. the greeks are insisting explic

mr. speaker, i'd like to thank chairman ryan sessions tiberi, for their tireless efforts to move us closer to realizing trade deals to unlock new markets and bolster our national security. mr. speaker, i rise in support of both the rule in front of us today and the trade promotion authority legislation we will consider tomorrow. the benefits of increased free and fair trade are well established and undeniable. for companies in my state, the pending trade deals would remove tariff barriers and unlock doors for businesses such as morris associates who export the world's best poultry chilling equipment. o a company like cummings engines in my state that export u.s. made engines and allow countless farms to export chickens tobacco, and sweet po tai lows across the globe. this means increased productivity, better wages and more jobs. more importantly t.p.a. is about empowering congress, making sure that this body and people's elected representatives keep tight reins on this president. now i'm certainly no supporter of the president's laundry list of unconstitutional actions from immigration to

baghdad all that but in the same way the white house was deeply involved in the conversations between mr. ryanand senator murray i'm confident the white house and it administrations would be involved in obtaining future conversations because there are significant priorities involved and in many cases the administration will have unique insight into the intricacies of these budgetary decisions so the administration will be involved but ultimately it's the responsibility of congress to figure this out and the administration will certainly be supportive of those efforts and the last thing i would point out is something you frequently hear from me which is i continue to be competent the only way that is going to get resolved is by working effectively across the aisle. in order to get 60 votes in the senate you'll have to earn the votes and in order to get anything signed in july he will have to earn the support of the democratic present of the unit unit -- united states so we are going to need to see a bipartisan effort in congress to resolve this but again the good news is this is one of those ra

chairman of the house ways and means committee paul ryan joins us. good evening mr.irman. >> good evening. how are you doing greta? >> i'm very well. so give me the short description of what this bill is. >> well, first of all, we are happy that is he is embracing our principles and policies. this is a trade procedure. this determines how does an administration go about getting a trade agreement and how does congress consider it fast track slow track. we wanted more accountment and more transparency so we as legislators can see what's going on and help determine how trade agreements come out and the public needs to see what's in these agreements and then congress retains veto authority over these agreements and only congress. it makes a decision as to whether or not they go into force or not. the thing we are trying to do here, greta is make sure that congress is involved in the front end so we determine what is or is not in the trade agreement. we make sure we have access to all negotiating documents which is not the case right now. during this process. and then whe
