mr. anderson for sending him an account of the campaign in the iberian peninsula in 1808, he wrote it is all one story despite any change of weapons, from the sheep under the bellies through which the sheep escape the cave of the cyclops. if anyone in the audience can usedme how the general oxen to break the line, i would be fascinated to know. it would be very helpful. for those who like to mischaracterize churchill's attitudes towards indians as totally aggressive and unpleasant, it is instructive to remember the statements he made in 1909 about the indian revolutionary who was hanged for the assassination of a british civil servant. his last words were the only lesson required in india is to learn how to die and the only way to teach it is by dying. therefore i die in glory. churchill wrote to the direst debt -- that things that will be remembered in 2000 years times as we remember roman heroes. he quoted his last words as the finest ever made. by notblem today is that being taught in schools, we ourselves do not remember roman heroes, as illustrated by the recent survey of british sc

mrs. anderson, if we look at the resignation of the prime minister of lebanon.udi arabia and he has deep political ties there. not too surprising. he directly blamed iran's interference in the region. he was coming from a firm place of saudi support. i think iran is looking at everything that saudi arabia's doing and the new crown prince is doing, and i think they're probably reading this is a new effort to redouble saudi arabia's willingness to challenge iran and a lot of includingy zones, lebanon and places like iraq. --hink we are interesting we're entering an interesting era. i think mohammad bin salman on wants to put a strong face-off for the kingdom and what iran is doing in the region. i think there is some added instability to come, especially in places that are traditional battlegrounds where we see saudi and iran challenging each other. to theif we go back events of the last few days, is it being seen more of an economic purge than a strategic purge in that way, how much more is there to come? emily: i think by removing people like the minister of whe

mr. ambassador. ms. anderson. >> good morning, chairman smith, ranking member bass, congressman donovan, thank you for invietding me to speak about the democratic republic of congo. it's always an honor to have an opportunity to discuss our work with supporters of africa and for me it's a pleasure to be back testifying before this subcommittee. u.s. aid has maintained a long-term relationship with tdrc and its people since the country became independent in 1960. with its vast mineral wealth, the country has tremendous opportunity for economic growth that could lift citizens out of poverty and propel the country if had to middle income status. instead protracted political uncertainty is fuelling vile ole and instability and prevents the country's full potential. the reality is they're teetering on the brink of a crisis such as it has not seen since the formal end of the second congo war in 2003. due to the political crisis and continued electoral delays, the mandates of all elected government officials have offici

but the fact is, anderson, they knew the alternative theory. mr.r that described one very thin thread of evidence that he said he could use then to prove that it wasn't an outside job but an inside job for the dnc hack. it wasn't that he had new stuff. it wasn't that director pompeo had to talk to him to learn the facts of the case. and i'd offer you one additional view, anderson, i think if director pompeo had the freedom of action, even if we were going to engage with mr. binney, it would not have been done at his level. but, again, as you suggest, this was directed by the president. >> whether it's this or urging the doj to investigate hillary clinton, the democrats, do you think the president understands or necessarily cares about maintaining the impartiality, the independence of an agency like the cia or, you know, the fbi. >> you know, the cia, the bureau, the american intelligence community lives or dies based upon its impartiality. and just very quickly, anderson, when you accuse your predecessor of wiretapping trump tower, you're saying th

mr. lank ford is saying these days people will no longer have health insurance. andersonat happens when that person today earning $40,000 a year gets hit by a bus or finds out she has leukemia. who's going to pay for it? order americans who have health insurance. what mr. lank ford and the republicans are trying to do is significantly you understand mine the affordable care act by closing off, cutting back on hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue now coming in. that is a backdoor way to destroy the affordable care act. what's the solution in terms of health care? we worked do what every other major country on earth does, guarantee health care to all people as a right and end the absurdity of the united states paying twice as much for capital on health care as do the people of any other nation. that is certainly not an idea the republicans would accept for one moment. >> you've taken issue as many democrats v with the fact the tax cuts are permanent in the bill while the individual cuts expire in 2025. couldn't it encourage fwoitsz grow in the u.s.? >> funny that you

mr. president, i'll also ask unanimous consent that privileges of the floor be grantinged to the following member of my staff -- sara anderson for today's session. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. peters: mr. president, next to our people, the great lakes are unquestionably michigan's greatest resource. they are more than an economic engine. they are more than a source of drinking water for 40 million people. they are more than a destination for tourists, boaters, and anglers from across the globe. while the great lakes are certainly all of those things, in michigan they're also a way of life. they are, quite simply, home. you can't sit on the edge of one of our massive inland seas without feeling a sense of awe and gratitude. mr. president, next to me is a photo of the straits of mackinac, a five-mile stretch of water where lake michigan meets lake huron and where michigan's upper and lower peninsulas are connected by the mackinac bridge. unfortunately, today i can't look out at these straits out feeling a grave concern. the straits of mackinac are home to powerful currents and water that at times flows through

liberal justice anderson, i know senator klobuchar mentioned justice this morning, one of the reasons he's supportive of my nomination is i'm objective and open-mind. senator grassley: mr. duncan, i was told you were louisiana's first solicitor general and you accepted that position. how and why has that position prepared you for a seat on the fifth circuit? mr. duncan: well, thank you, senator. in that position and -- in that position i was able to represent my home state of louisiana in some very difficult and high-profile cases in the fifth circuit. and the louisiana supreme court and the united states supreme court. when you're in that position and you're having to make arguments in difficult cases, my approach was, you have to take the politics out. you have to focus on the law. you have to think very carefully what is persuasive to a court. and you have to make the most reasonable and zealous argument that you can within the bounds of precedent for your client. so you have to think about what's important to the judges who you're arguing for. you have to honor and respect what their role is. and their role, of course, is to follow precedent. so you can't go into c

mr. trump is an important factor in their vote. the same poll found the president's approval rating among likely voters at only 38%. that sentiment holds true for northam supporter eric andersonchemical engineer. >> gillespie has done little or nothing to distance himself from trump, and so i assume he would go along with whatever program trump wants to institute. and that's very worrisome. >> yang: and for gillespie backer alison... how important is it that you elect a governor who gets along with president trump? >> very important. right now, i just want ed gillespie to win so i don't have >> yang: how closely do these voters associate the president and the republican candidate? when you look at ed gillespie, do you see donald trump? >> when i look at him, i don't. but when i listen to him, i do. >> absolutely not. in donald trump, i see more of an opportunist. and i think ed's been a lifelong conservative. >> no, i see ed gillespie. but nobody's donald trump but donald trump. >> charlottesville continues to ring in my ears and be the picture in my head, and that of course is donald trump. >> yang: gillespie, a former republican operative and lobbyist, has tried to distance
