so, to your questions about mrs. thomas, those are actually investigate-able things.uld begin to find out with investigators who ran the money's through donors trust, $600,000 worth, to her group. wasn't the same donors who ran money through donors trust, $7 million worth in just one year, to the federalist society while they were helping pick the justices who got on the supreme court? that's a pretty good conflict of interest, when a group is funding who gets on the court, and then rewarding the justice potentially, or related justice, with big payments to his wife and to the. >> so, imagine the day when clarence thomas might be coming up any day now before april 15th, where he's cosigning the joint tax return of clarence thomas and virginia thomas. and he sees some huge number there, possibly huge number. does he, does he ask his wife how did we, how did we make $15 million this year, $25 million, or $2 million, whatever it is? >> and any other place in the government, in all of the other federal courts, in the senate and the house and throughout the executive branc

mr. thomas ranked fifth in the 200-yard freestyle and won the 500-yard freestyle. he stole emma's championship trophy and took former block swimmer spot in the 2022ncaa division one swim meet. last congress, i led a couple dozen members honoring emma as the rightful winner of the 2022nca mp a division one 500-yard freestyle race. i'm a co-sponsor of h.r. 734, protection of women and girls in sports act of 2023. i refuse to allow our children and grandchildren to be dproomed by big corporations, schools and politicians and to think it's ok for men to compete in women's sports. again, my amendment simply requires notification to parents if their child's school allows males to participate in female-designated sports. i i would hope that parents should know this. with that, madam chair, i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlewoman from colorado reserves. for what purpose does virginia seek recognition? mr. scott: i rise in opposition to the amendment. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. scott: thank you. madam chair, all school systems are membe

mr. thomas. ginni thomas said she received $600,000. the answer is money corrupts. in your reporting that money corruption led to the banking crisis we are in now? maria: annmarie: i will leave that to michael barr as he addresses lawmakers today. the question is that these lawmakers want to find out -- everyone wants him autopsy before they look at raising an fbi see cap or raising more funds. was it a regulatory error or mismanagement error and they want to get into the fact of what exactly happened here. also, is there more risk in the system now? that will be a lot of questions facing the regulators today. also, these hearings, they also just become statements that lawmakers want to make, essentially going into a 2024 election cycle. tom: i'm sorry for repeating myself but the swiss fury, the people of switzerland's fury over ubs/credit suisse. what's the constituent fury that is wrapped around these hearings today? annmarie: when you talk to a lot of lawmakers, state -- they said they are hearing back home, they are concerned and the call them. this is what sen

mr. brecheen: thomas jefferson said you shouldn't allow your leaders to lead you -- load you with perpetual debt. he would later describe what he called the abusive state of man. he said the first part of that is public debt, and in its train is wretchedness and oppression. our liberty is in jeopardy. we hear of trillions of dollars tossed around. i don't think we really understand the size and scope of a trillion dollars. if i stood on this floor and at a second at a time i laid a dollar bill on this podium and i didn't stop to eat or sleep, taking a second at a time to lay out that dollar bill it would take me 11 day, you'd get tired sitting in that chair, 11 days watching me count out a million dollars. if i was to lay out a dollar at a time on this table, a second at a time, it would take me 31 years to lay out a billion dollars if i didn't stop to eat or sleep. in order to get to a trillion dollars, it would take me 31,000 years. 31,000 years if i didn't stop to eat or sleep a second at a time. we know what is happening in 2022, 40-year high record of inflation. the average oklahoman s

mr. vadim to clarify. and this position of thomas bach, is he voicing his position or is he voicing the position of the international olympic committee, which is a collegial body. i understand that he expresses the position of the executive committee of the international olympic committee, plus they have already included countries from other continents, because i already told you that when i was present at the summit of the olympic committees back in december, all the olympic committees were present and mr. bach , for a certain time, talked about how much help they had given to ukrainian athletes , how they were in solidarity with us, and then at the end he started a discussion about how many countries countries from africa, crimea, asia to asia have already expressed their opinion. you know that in general she proposed that russian athletes take part in the asian games in asian competitions and qualify through asia for the olympic games, so i see, i see that there is already something going on work was carried out there on the return of russian and turnover athletes, but in general i do not understand what has chan

mr. trump should follow the example of lyndon johnson. in 1968 he announced he would not seek the presidency again. cap thomas announces that if trump withdraws it would open up the field for candidates with less personal baggage and help voters focus on more important issues than mr. trump's caustic personality. a trump with drop would reduce the bitterness and attitude of revenge mr. trump has fomented and former -- and poisoned the political waters in ways not seen since vietnam and the assassination of martin luther king and robert kennedy. for the good of the country cal thomas writes mr. trump should quit the race. those two pieces from the washington times. if there is indictment, what do you think it would mean for donald trump in his bid to retake the white house in 2024. that discussion playing out over the weekend. it was saturday mr. trump predicted he would be arrested. it was on cnn state of the union that one prominent republican talked about what this might mean for donald trump. chris sununu was on cnn state of the union. this is what he had to say.

thomas vigo. he's a military expert in journalist. mr. be good. it's good to have you with us. let me ask you as well about the communication between washington in moscow. i mean, is this the time where the white house and the kremlin should be in direct contact? not necessarily 1st and foremost, it should be a d, conflicting contact on the military level. and as far as we know of as a direct line between between us, you come headquartered in stuttgart, germany, and the military authorities in russia. so this should be the 1st line of contact. meanwhile, as we just heard, it's escalated to the diplomatic levels. so the u. s. foreign ministry state department is in contact with, it's a russian counterpart. so it seems that there is contact at the moment. and this means and the conflict is going off according to the americans. this type of incident that occurred today is not uncommon, albeit it's still very reckless. what we saw talk to me about the danger level of this type of incident. well, we've seen in the past as the russian fighter aircraft had approached us man craft in w

mr. vadym, i asked about that, this is the unexpected visit of thomas, who is the witness of the prime ministerwith could fly to ukraine well, in principle, talk to them about what japan is one of the key partners of our cossacks, one of the largest in this case, i think that there will be a conversation exclusively about help to ukraine and support for ukraine, so in this matter here, i think that this is just another testimony of support from side of one of the largest countries in the world, namely japan, this year, mr. volodymyr, i will now be told whether we are up to the 57th or we are up to a. there is still time then, mr. volodymyr , i will also ask you to comment on whether it looks, well, symbolic against the background of that uh, the leader of china in russia, and the leader of that country, uh, in the far east, which, let's say, moves somewhat differently than uh, china is democratic and innovative, it's interesting. well, in china, there is also innovation, after all, there is little democracy there, eh, in ukraine, he can please be the first to be a symbolic demonstrative, please
