mr. cooper: thank you, justice. chief justice roberts: mr. stewart, rebuttal? mr. stewart: thank you, chief justice. let me respond to justice alito's question -- we are not prepared to concede that the fec regulation is invalid, but appellees did challenge that in this lawsuit. that is, at page 26 of the joint appendix, count four of the appellees' complaint alleged that the 20-day limit in the regulation was arbitrary, capricious, and not in accordance with the law, and count five asserted a different nonconstitutional challenge to the regulation. the three-judge district court exercised supplement to jurisdiction over the regulatory challenges but held them in abeyance while it adjudicated the constitutional challenge to the statute, and i think that was for two reasons. first, the district court was under the misimpression that the statute itself was the current legal barrier to full repayment. and, second, the three-judge court understandably viewed its mandate as being the resolution of challenges to the constitutionality of the statute. and then, having held

mr. cooper. can you take a minute and tell us exactly who's -- how this low repayment regulation or provision affects speech or impedes speech. is it the speech of candidate, of senator cruz? is it the speech of his donors? it is one thing to say that, well, it burdens it in some way. but i'd like you to just precisely tell us whose speech? and what speech? and how it does that. >> thank you mr. justice. it most dominantly burdens and creates a drag on the candidate's speech. on the campaign's speech. if a candidate has to go through the calculus of deciding whether or not i'm going to loan more than $250,000 to my campaign because my ability to have it repaid is going to be compromised by the statute and by the regulation, your honor, to whatever extent the candidate doesn't loan that additional money, that candidate is foregoing the speech that that additional money would -- would purchase. as justice kavanaugh mentioned. >> of course mr. cooper the candidate can spend all the money he wants of

mr. cooper.biden administration's use on emissions and biofuels and what do you think they broke the law and cut the rfs and for rural americans. we hope that doesn't happen. we believe the renewable fuel standard is the best chance for carbon emissions in the sector. it's laws on the books, 15 years now. we have seen significant greenhouse gas emissions reduction result. one estimate about billions of tons because of the standards and biofuels under that program. we agree that a strong rfs, that is consistent with the statutory intent of the program is fundamental to decarbonization. epa begins the process to determine those volumes as well. >> great, one quick question for mr. strickland. how many vehicles that will be internal combustion vehicles does gm expect to produce between now and 2035? >> we expect to produce 30 to 40 million. >> well, if you're putting 30 to 40 internal combustion vehicles on the roadways, i mean, that's where the disconnect -- chairman scott: the gentleman's time has

mr. cooper? >> well, thank you for the question, congressman and we agree completely that the carbon footprint and the way it's measured matters very much to the decision making around where we go with the future of our transportation sector. the iea study mentioned earlier by the ranking member actually shows that, yeah, on average, when you consider the source of minerals and the source of electricity generation, electric vehicles are about 50% cleaner than a petroleum fueled internal combustion engine. that can range a lot from a 7% reduction to a 77% reduction. with biofuels, and corn ethanol, specifically, we're adding 50% reduction compared to gasoline and we have some member companies that are producing ethanol that's 70%. 75% better than gasoline. so, again, if the goal here is to reduce emissions from transportation sector, there's more than one way to do it. ethanol is here, it's available today. it's available now to immediately jump start decarbonization efforts and the first step is

mr. cooper, mr. walter. if one is something to add or after the next please do. but can you talk about how a new era of low carbon high-octane liquid fuel in the next generation fuels act specifically would impact your businesses and your members as we continue to transition to electric vehicles? why don't we start with mr. strickland and then go to mr. nassar, cooper, walter, what have you had have to add ont please. >> clearly before we get to 2035 will be selling into a combustion engines. as i noted earlier be selling 30-40 million of the seagulls and the ability to be able to use lower carbon fuels such as higher octane is incredibly important. there's advantages of their where you can get better fuel efficiency with higher compression and higher octane fuels and biofuels. we believe in the path to zero will be inclusive of that particular pathway. we're looking for to working with you and the members on your important legislation. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for the question. you know, well first of all it's going to be very helpful for the agricul

mr. cooper.you talked about this in your testimony. i want you to put a little bit more meat on that bone if you will. what does the path forward look like, what should it look like as well as for non-flex fuel vehicles. >> thank you for the question, congressman and i'm happy to answer it. utwe absolutely believe that you 15 is one of the best opportunities we have for jumpstarting the decarbonization in the transportation fuels marketplace analysis that we have done and others have done shows simply moving from the current gasoline blend which is 10% ethanol would reduce. it's just that simple switch into virtually every car on the road today is already legally approved. the most prominent of those is the ridiculous volatility of regulation that prevents retailers from offering during the summer months. we felt like we had that problem when they adopted regulations to fix it a few years ago and the supreme court declined to review it. so that's got to be fixed. legislatione's been introduced by

mr. cooper: thank you, justice. chief justice roberts: mr. stewart, rebuttal? mr. stewart: thank you, chief justice. let me respond to justice alito's question -- we are not prepared to concede that the fec regulation is invalid, but appellees did challenge that in this lawsuit. that is, at page 26 of the joint appendix, count four of the appellees' complaint alleged that the 20-day limit in the the resolution of challenges to the constitutionality of the statute. and then having held a that the statute was unconstitutional it said were dismissing the regulatory claims as moot. the implication was then the court would have proceeded to the non-constitutional challenges to the regulatory provisions. the weight the case was litigated produced this weird inversion of the way litigation is supposed to be handled. it's bedrock that if you have both unconstitutional and constitutional claims before you, the court is supposed to resolve the nonconstitutional issues first and proceed to the constitutional issues only if it is necessary to do so. the district court did not

mr. chair, i see member cooper awaiting recognition. >> mr. cooper? >> yeah, hi. just real quick. my main focus right now is on the website. i think that there's definitely some organizational questions, and i know we have a lot of constraint with the system, but i'm working first to collect any issues or complaints that we have with our redistricting task force website, [indiscernible] and i'll collect those and work in the interim between now and january to help get that going and make sure that we've got everything in the right place to make it a nice, warm, welcoming place for the public to come to learn about the process. thank you. >> thank you. >> clerk: mr. chair, i don't see any further members of the task force awaiting recognition on agenda item numbers 3 and 4. >> then let's please proceed to public comment. >> clerk: thank you, mr. chair. i will check with joe atkins to see if there are any callers in the queue. members of the public who wish to provide public comment may do so by call 415-655-0001, and enter today's meeting i.d., 2488-581-0001. press pound twice, and

mr. speaker, behind-the-scenes we cooperate well, and i want to continue. >> thank you, mr. speaker. as the prime minister will note from personal experience, the river is one of the most beautiful in europe, yet its fragile ecosystem is being destroyed by phosphates and other pollution. the river crosses the border between england and wales, but so far it has proven impossible to get the environment agency, natural england, and natural resources wales, even to begin planning a single long-term strategy to clean up the river. will the prime minister press those agencies now and the welsh government at last to come to the table, and will he ask ministers to look at the idea of a new national rivers recovery fund using fines paid to water companies so it can clean the rivers up properly once and for all? prime min. johnson: mr. speaker, i had a memorable swim myself about 5:00 in the morning. it tasted like nectar. i understand the problem he raises. it is important that our beautiful rivers should be clean as well, and my honorable friend, the environment minister, will be visiting th

can you tell us how cooperative mr.on was as a witness who was able to inform the committee about mark meadows activities and donald trump's activities? >> i was only able to listen to about four hours of the deposition. but he answered the questions posed to him directly, he was under subpoena, he was well aware of his obligations. so, i think he, like the others who have come in, for the most part, are doing their duty and responding to the subpoena and the questions. we also had very good news in the john eastman case, just yesterday with the judge ordering cooperation and through the weekend, there will be a review by the parties and then, decided by the court. but basically, the court rejected his claims of privilege and so, we will get a lot of information there as well. >> and of course, eastman was the lawyer who wrote what is clearly a fraudulent memo, claiming it is a legal memo, saying that the vice president of the united states has the power to completely reverse the outcome of the electoral college when th

mr meadows had handed over thousands of pages of records, but then refused to cooperate further.ext messages he'd received during the attack. fox news host laura ingraham wrote... and there was also a message from the president's son, read out by liz cheney. donald trumertexted, again and again, urging action by the president. "we need an oval office address. he has to lead now. it has gone too far and gotten out of hand." other messages were received the day before the attack. fox news host sean hannity said... you could argue he was right to be concerned. and the committee is requesting an interview with mr hannity. but there's one key figure whose testimony and evidence remains elusive. former president trump has perhaps, unsurprisingly, refused to cooperate. he's taken legal action to block the release of official white house communication records. and these delays mean it's not certain the committee will finish its work before the mid—term elections in november. and the politics of this remain farfrom predictable. while many condemned what happened onjanuary the 6th, the ide

house investigation committee responding to jim jordan's apparent refusal to cooperate with the subpoena. the panel writes this: mr. jordan has previously said he would cooperate in the committee's investigation, but it now appears that the trump team has persuaded him to try to hide the facts and circumstances of january 6th. >> reporter: you read this letter and there's not much surprising in it because jordan was the one person we thought might have reluctance toward cooperating with this committee. you read in this letter what he says. he continuously goes after them for their work. for example, this one sentence he says to the committee, even if i had information to share with the select committee, he says the actions and statements of state democrats in the house show you're not conducting a fair-minded and objective inquiry. you see language like that and you think, of course he's not cooperating. but in a pretty literal letter, what's not stated is that "i will not cooperate with the committee." so the door is still open there for jordan to cooperate. the thing for the committee to consider next, and this

cooperation. that's why many experts say that while mr. mccarthy has an obligation to cooperate, he has an obligation to his own words from a few months ago, there's nothing to suggest this is an open and shut case. with that context in play, we turn to our experts. former civil prosecutor mya wiley. and on congress, a veteran of the obama campaign. mya, where does it go from here and kevin mccarthy said he would testify. if he did, does that stand to provide information that is useful to this probe? >> well, look. i don't know we know where it goes from it here for the reasons you just said. we know that he's been asked to voluntarily come and talk to the committee. he says no, a voluntary request is not a subpoena. it's not a legal obligation to appear. so then the committee has to decide. are we going to subpoena him. we heard the congressman say we'll consider it. that's not the same thing as saying we will do it and as you pointed out, there's a disagreement about this centerly not an open and shut case. i want to point out that congre

mr. president, the culture of the senate is built upon a foundation of respect andn cooperation that is known to transcend partisanship. it's a culture which legislative goals are reached with patients, persuasion and perseverance, not power. i implore my colleagues to consider the ramifications for our country. are they to be repealed two years later on the simple majority vote and then perhaps in another two years by just 51 votes. do we want major laws, significant changes in policy to oube ran through the senate without thoughtful debate and bipartisan support at a time when the country is deeply and closely divided. do we want to worsen the polarization by approvingha significant changes in public policy by in narrow partisan vote? we are now on the brink of hitting down that dangerous road. a slippery slope limiting the ability of senators to engage and debate on matters would give the majority party unprecedented power to push through major changes without careful deliberation or bipartisan cooperation. such a move would have lasting implications as future majorities, whether republica
