mr. cohen: then you will see the slaughter that is taking place today. tens of thousands of people -- erik: because the europeans do and that firepower on the wrong? -- enough firepower on their own? certainly individual members who have military capability to be willing to provide some kind of relief to people who are in need. is it as simple as that, the explanation for why the west is losing the war against isis? mr. cohen: it is a complex area, to be sure. we have religious conflicts that goes back centuries. there is no easy solution. but one thing is very clear. if you allow isis to continue doing what they are doing in the region, now spreading their tentacles into europe, and possibly the united ace, then it is clear you cannot simply try to contain isis. you have to not only degrade them, you have to destroy them. you're going to have a much greater military component, and component,hat coupled with a political solution to bring about a cease-fire in syria and to bring russia joining with united states and with the french and with the british an

mr. cohen is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman and thank the witnesses for coming today. i'm a private sector guy that understands how you're supposed to make money in business and how you capitalize companies and how you either fail or succeed based on your pricing and product and what you've delivered to your customers and basically if you make money you succeed and if you lose money you don't. so we're here today talking about co-ops in particular and i'm from new york where the new york co-op and its failure cost the american taxpayers over $250 million. well, somebody asked me, i'd be surprised we're here today, it's, well no, i predicted this over two years ago. i remember sitting down with some insurance executives, health insurance people in early 2013 and asked them how they would be pricing their products for obamacare and for enhanced benefits and what basically came out of those meetings is they were going to underprice their products because of the riskk)0 corridors and they were confident they would get the

metro board chair mort downey says the decision was mutual between mr. cohen and metro. according to reports, board member jack evans told the fellow councilmembers the job was bigger than he thought it was. >> part of it the extent of the dysfunction at wmata is part of what turned off the person that they identified. brianne: this is the first time since 2014 the agency has been close to hiring somebody and not. they say getting the right person in place is what is important. people riding the rails today seem to agree. >> as society we place too much on the leader. the organization's have to work period. >> take a live look at. the board member talking to riders. coming up tonight at 6:00, what they are asking about and expressing concerns. we will have more on that in the next hour. alison: just in. the national zoo will change the hours. this is january 1. the exhibits will open an hour earlier at 9:00 a.m. they will close half an hour earlier at 4:30. the zoo grounds will open at 8:00 and close at 5:00 p.m. the closing hours are extended when the summer arrived. le

. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from tennessee, mr. cohen, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chair. i'm going to be like ms. lee and ask you a lot of questions. there's a lot on my mind. >> i'm sorry, sir, i can't -- >> i have a lot of questions. we have limited time. in july, a young man named darius stewart was shot and killed by memphis police. he was a passenger in a motor vehicle stopped for a traffic citation. he was asked to get out of the car. they looked at him, put him in the car. a tussle occurred. he was shot and killed. the d.a. asked the grand jury to indict voluntary manslaughter. the grand jury chose not to. how that was presented, who knows. obviously not as well as a ham sandwich could have presented. i asked the department of justice to look into it. your first response is you monitored the case. now that the case has gone through the grand jury process and not getten the result the d.a. wanted, i would like to ask as i asked in writing before for the department of justice to look into this case and see if civil rights v

. >> bless me father for i have sinned, i think you know mr. cohen. >> along the way you were on "the tonight show" with johnny carson more than 25 times. you must have thought i'm doing something right. >> yeah, i knew he was stand up that was well thought of, but that was a different era. comedy became a thing, right when i started and everybody wanted to be a comic so it was very hard to stand out from the crowd. unless you started doing your own show. >> how did you get it right? >> comedy central was new. they asked me if i had any ideas, get people from different walks of life with different ideologies, different levels of intellectual. put it together into a delightful. >> this is politically incorrect. >> premiered in 1993. then as now, his guest list was stunning. jay came on. so did george. and jerry. >> my tv show when we first did the pilot -- >> you really need a plug at this point? >> i would hardly say a plug. >> moved to abc in 1997 was doing well until 2001 when in the week after 9/11 maher said this. >> standing in the airplane when

if mr. cohen is the person who take over this position, it's sort of now leaves folks to look at it. now, everything should be in place for metro to move forward. there may not be any more excuse for metro if they cannot get their house in order. i will say this, he may become the general manager seeing that he worked in the airline industry for about 30 years, that might be subjective. >> i'm kind of curious about whether or not just the appointment alone and the fact that we're talking about an actual individual will create some instakt. we've seen riders abandon the system in droves because of all of the problems and uncertainty and i'm wondering if they will create a new sense of certainty that will bring riders back to the system. >>> d.c. police are investigating the arrest t arrest of a man capture on video this week that's raised a lot of questions and brought about a lot of questions. the arrest took place in the 6100 block. he was handcuffed and he was on the ground. in responding to cri

mr. cohen: i want to thank mr. shuster and mr. defazio working with me. the transportation committee works together in a bipartisan fashion. on the other hand, i had the pleasure of knowing howard coble. i was his ranking member on judiciary. he was my ranking member on judiciary. we had a great relationship. and one of the finest gentlemen i have ever known. he loved north carolina and this house and he will be missed and he was an example of the way people can work together. i was honored to know him. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from tennessee yields back. mr. chabot: i would like to share in the gentleman's comments about howard coble. he was a wonderful part of this distinguished institution. i served on the judiciary committee for the better part of 20 years with howard and we all looked up to him. he was kind of one of a kind and i say that in the most honorable way. he was one we looked to. he had a sense of humor that wept with your heart. he will be truly missed not only by his constituents but this house that he loved for so many year

mrs. cohen, listen to yourself. you have all this money out here. it is being wasted. half of your coops are insolvent, and you've got this recharacterization process going to take your debts and make them appear to be assets. that is highly unusual, and you want to sit here and say we are looking at it. when are you doing it? are you continuing to meet on it every week? do you have a time line for coming up with this getting this money back? s it a top priority? please read the note that has been passed to you. >> we got all the money back from vermont. i would say the rest of the coops we have been working with over the last several months are still in business. they continue to provide coverage for consumers until the end of the year, and then we will work through the process at that point to recover funds for the taxpayer. >> so there is something in process. thank you. >> thank you. >> and if you will continue to provide that type information for us, that is what we need to know, the specifics. it does not help us in doing -- it is igence and helpful when she says

interview and part of the issue, i think, with donald trump is that he may never get anything wrong as mr. cohenknowledge that he might actually have potentially gotten something wrong or made a mistake. we saw that with john mccain when he said john mccain wasn't a war hero. we saw it with carly fiorina when he made comments about her physical appearance. and then you have this new thing with this new york times reporter and there's no sort of acknowledging that maybe i was misinterpreted on so surge, i would never do that about him. nothing. i think that makes it worse, although, as you all know, nothing seems to stick. >> i think that's right. the presidential race is entering -- about to enter a new phase. a serious phase. and voters could care less about any of this. i don't think they will hold mr. trump accountable for it. i think his supporters will be his supporters. this is mainly background noise. how the others react to this is more interesting. he's not going to suddenly say, i lied about this. i made a mistake. he's troubling down, quadrupling down and voters are i can look, move o

the chair recognizes the gentleman from tennessee mr. cohen, for five minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman. first i want to welcome you. i'm a big fan of yours. but at the same time, i would like to ask you a question. i understand you keep a copy of the fbi's request to wiretap dr. martin luther king jr. on your deck as a remainder of capacity to do wrong. >> that's correct. >> i commend you for that. that occurred during j. edgar hoover's tenure as director. as you know, j. edgar did some awful, terrible things, in his life, and as fbi director. he started the coin tell pro, how do you pronounce that? >> i think you got it. >> which harassed civil rights workers, snik people, slc people, dr. king in particular, others, political activists and homosexuals. he was abusive. he was the opposite of justice. his efforts to silence dr. king and out homosexuals working for the federal government were deplorable and a stain on our nation's history and fbi. it's been reported that at one point he had a letter sent to dr. king threatening to expose all kinds of private information collecte

mr. cohen's questions about renaming the fbi headquarters building earlier? >> yes. >> i appreciate your response that we have to look at things through the lens of history. i wanted to ask you about a few other historical figures and see if there were any other fbi buildings naeld after some of these folks. former democrat senator rob berd bid of west virginia was a member of the kkk, he was a recruiter for the kkk and he held leadership positions with the kkk. the state capitol in charleston, west virginia is named after senator bid. the united states courthouse in beckley, west virginia is named after mr. bid. and the federal correction institution is named after mr. byrd. my question is do you know of any fbi buildings named after senator byrd? >> i don't know. i don't know if we have folks sitting in the courthouse. i don't know sitting here. >> former democratic president woodrow wilson resegregated the entire government including the armed forces, held a showing of the movie "birth of a nation" at the white house and went so far as to praise it in spit

mr. steve cohen, and also a member of the judiciary committee, but also a special thank you to cynthia lummis of wyoming who has been an advocate of this legislation and i want to thank her for her tireless work and leadership on this issue as we move forward. h.r. 3279 passed the judiciary committee on voice vote on october 27, 2015. almost identical legislation passed the judiciary committee and the full house on voice vote last congress. the bill reinstates needed measures to ensure the equal act ss to justice act is helping individuals as intendedful congress originally passed the equal access to justice act to remove a barrier to justice for those with rimented -- limbed access to sue the federal government and remove attorneys' fees to go along with such suit. the law was written to provide citizens with the opportunity to challenge or defend against unreasonable government actions when they otherwise might be defwird large legal expenses. to be eligible for payment under the ehaa an individual's net worth must be less than $2 million an a business must have a net worth under $7 million

cohen. here as a citizen today and want to echo mr. webers comments. this is about formula retail controls. you made bold steps in updateing the legislation passed a decade prior and it was time to do that and one critical piece that you asked to have come back to you is the issue about subsidiaries and it is very real at there and we have been deiging into it, had success with the working group. supervisor mar is committed to come up with a good set of policies but giving more time to january is helpful. this is a big issue to make a big decision on. thanks. >> tommy [inaudible] from housing rights committee. we support the continuance of the interim controls to give planning staff a chance to work on them more. specifically, we feel that they need to address the issue of the demolition of rent controlled units and what will happen. obviously we don't support the demolition of rent controlled units at all and feel this commission and the planning department should have a policy of no demolition of rent controlled units, however, if there is in the int

mr. john furlan -- okay -- >> thank you, president cohen. first off, i'm disturbed about the trend of moving closed session to the front of the agenda and having members of the public have to wait for an hour-and-a-half and two hours to wait for you to get through the investment calendar. and i would respectfully request that you move the investment calendar back to the agenda, so members of the public don't have to cool their heels while you are dealing with that. >> okay. >> if necessary if you could move it to a special meeting each month, rather than jam-pack your agenda, so you are not out of here before 5:00 or 6:00 or 7:00; that would be even better. i would like to correct the record last month, ke walker inappropriately and inaccurately quoted that the program for the dalt investment would yield 9.4%. she misread bob shaw's analysis. she was quoting percentage for the loans that have already been repaid, and i believe more accurate number of 5.2% yield on that proposed investment. i'm also a little disturbed that you guys have not s

mr. huxen: one of the thing we show is americans being captured. we haven't mentioned p.o.w.'s. i want to point this out. here is the prison of war i.d. tag of benjamin cohen. who with the 423rd infantry regimen. he will be captured early on in the battle of the bulge. one thing i will mention of general interest, it was better to be prisoner of war of the nazis than it was of the japanese. better than 40% of american p.o.w.'s of the japanese per -- perished in these camps. whereas, the germans, who were concerned that the ally will give treatment top their own pows, would follow the rules of the geneva convention which the japanese refused to sign. i wanted to point that out that not everything in war is necessarily victorious. sometimes you wind up on not just the losing side but in the enemy's hand. so, over here one thing to point out of the famous prayer card that general george patton asked kaplan to come up with to basically guarantee good weather during the battle of the bulge. basically, when chaplain made the prayer, the weather cleared up, patton credited this. patton written the prayer some time before the battle. this prayer card was delivered

mr. steinberg, does it have bearing on your civil case with steven cohen and his failure to supervise?> that's something i can't comment on. the commission sits in judgment on that ultimately, whatever the recommendation is on that. i can't comment on that. >> okay. let's go to market structure. a number of people and one of the discussions that they were having when you were hear on the panel earlier is what is the s.e.c. or what can we expect from the s.e.c. in the -- let's say next six months to a year as far as market structure? there's -- let's start with the equity markets, it's still too fragmented. what are you doing to make sure there's cohesion there so we don't see disruptions on one fl platform disrupting another. >> we are doing several things on equity market structure. i would add, if you look at the new york stock exchange outage, trading went on because you had multiple venues to deal with it. the point is all issues are on the table. our market structure advisory committee is engaged broadly with the staff. the ultimate decision is up to the commission. looking soup t

cohen. thanks so much for being here, appreciate it. >> how are you? >> good. so let me find out more about this deportation force that mr. trump talked about on msnbc earlier this morning to deport millions of undocumented immigrants in this country -- >> can i jump in for a second? >> sure. >> you talk about them as undocumented aliens. they're not. they're illegal immigrants. why is it that we have a problem in calling somebody exactly what they are? they snuck across the border. they shouldn't be here in the first place. now that's not to say we don't want them, but they have to come into this country, as mr. trump will say, again and again and again, legally. we need to know exactly who's in this country. it's national security. we want to know exactly who is in this country. i'm actually confused and i would love an answer even from you as to why this question is still floating arntd. the bottom line is if you sneak into the country, you don't belong here. that's an illegal act. mr. trump's position is you must leave. we want you to come back through this big beautiful door in this border that he's going to talk abo
