and on this mr. denny in rebuttal said i reached out all these times and google didn't reach out to me. rebecca is the one who was going back and forth with mr. denny about this. if this is an area you feel needs great are inquiry, she can stand up and talk about which e-mail she sent when, but remember we got nothing from them after we found out about the appeals. within four or five days later, rebecca reached out and said let's talk. zero. then at some point he said, well -- i can't remember who that was -- it was in march, he said let's do it through our attorneys. i said ok, here's our attorney's information and there is no more information. dbi reflects that, too. we got a lot of calls from them after the hearing request was denied, because the ability to string this out until june was gone. because now we have this hearing and now they wanted to talk. at that point, we're already here. to talk about what kind of money they want to demand from us, we didn't feel that was productive, we'd rather exerc

we did meet with mr. denny and mr. myaki this afternoon, but it is premature to say we are at a settlement, and i don't think that is what is before you tonight. what is before you is whether or not these permits should move forward. we want to be clear that the building has residential and commercial tenants, and it is impossible for us to complete our renovation with no impact to the residents. our permits have been properly reviewed, and are valid, and we are committed to find a solution that all party cans tolerate given there will be an end in sight hopefully in the next three months. additionally, we wanted to have the opportunity to speak with all tenants and we noticed a meeting last night and we had 27 people in attendance. at first everybody was very concerned about the construction noise, but by the end of the meeting, people were actually asking us to work longer in order to finish the construction in a more timely manner. we now know that we have a phone and an email and an actual tenant liaison so that pe

and mr. denny said this a couple of times, that google didn't do any outreach, we gave them the cold shoulder and that's categorically wrong. as soon as google found out about the first appeal filed on february 7, google reached out multiple times to the appellants and said, let's sit down and talk, what is the problem? they got no response. they didn't respond, they said we don't want to talk to you. so we got complete radio silence from the appellants, despite all these concerns they had about google, nothing, nothing and they applied for their rehearing request, or their rescheduling request. and the day that president fung denied that request was a friday. i think it was april 6. on monday, we got our first communication from the appellants, first time. they say we want to talk to you, but it's according to the terms of our demand letter which we're attaching and that demand letter is an exhibit to the brief, where they say you pay us money for the damages we suffered, you pay for them and then

mr. o'malley: oh, yes. >> dennis. mr. o'malley: hello, dennis. where are you from? >> long island, new york. mr. o'malley: cool. >> near islip, like the middle of the island. mr. o'malley: what is your name? >> emily. mr. o'malley: where are you from? >> massachusetts. mr. o'malley: hope you run. >> thank you. mr. o'malley: thank you. >> so as a teacher -- i was a teacher in baltimore when you were mayor. mr. o'malley: were you? what is your name? >> dan. mr. o'malley: what are you doing here? >> i direct the academic programs. if you ever want to talk to the students we'd love to have you. but studying performance management. mr. o'malley: i'd love to do that. where is sam? my guy. i'll give you my card. all right. where did you teach in baltimore? >> canton. mr. o'malley: canton. >> southerland park area. mr. o'malley: i didn't know we had two lines here. >> the older folks. back and forth. no i'm not a student at st. anselm. mr. o'malley: but you might run. you might be a new candidate. have you thought about it? >> no, i have not. >> how are you? thank you. >> th

mr. trump tweeted it wasn't good enough. denny is calling from hot springs. caller: good morning. all i want to say is president trump is supporting the military industrial complex by wanting to sell all these arms to our so-called allies while at the same time, he is submarine our nation's farmers and ranchers with all of these tariffs on the products that we export to various countries. host: anything else? caller: that's all for now. i have a lot of could say. host: i hope you call back soon. george from connecticut. caller: brookfield. host: brookfield, connecticut. caller: one thing that surprises me not only watching c-span today, but the rest of the general media, is the lack of coverage of the situation with andrew mccabe, i think that's quite uprising, which brings me to my second topic. one of the biggest threats to our democracy is the mainstream media, notably in the way they cover stories, but the stories they don't cover. that's it. host: one call from david from todd, north carolina. caller: i have two points. theis for the farmer mentioned how the farmers are being

mr. mnuchin you will know it when you see it. few hours we are a away from the exemption from the tariffs expiring for the european union and for a bunch of other denny's- countries. can you tell us more on that? mr. mnuchin: i expect he will see a decision from the president today. i'm obviously not going to get ahead of the president on his announcements. steven mnuchin speaking to stephanie flanders at the conference in beverly hills. tatrt tatro.ed by quin let's start on the possible exemption from tariffs and eu allies. are these cliffhangers helping fuel volatility? or is that part of life and we have to get used to it. i think it is absolutely fueling volatility when we don't have answers. the market does not like uncertainty but i also think it is the era of the trump administration and we just have to get used to it. we have gotten used to it to a degree but we're certainly going to see continued volatility to these uncertainties. and nobody wants to see a trade war. and i throw win this word interest rate war or bond war because we have a $350 billion trade deficit with china. to think that we're going to a close tariffs and they are going to

dennis his willingness to converse with north korea flies in the face of the u.s. as foreign policy no wonder the white house is keen to distance itself from his efforts. mr rudd is on a private trip. about north korea and its failure to meet its obligations i'm not sure. about canada i have not changed i guess kenneth bae an evangelical christian who was arrested in two thousand and twelve while leading into a group through north korea he was later charged with planning to overthrow the government and sentenced to fifteen years hard labor it's yet another cause of friction and dennis finds himself under pressure as a personal friend of kim jong un's to help push for by his release and then as if that wasn't enough for dennis to contend with just one day before he's due to fly out this happens. despicable human scum worse than a dog that's how north korean state media described the once powerful uncle and uncle of north korean leader kim jong un has been executed for trying to overthrow the government reports from north korea tonight say the second most powerful man in the country has been executed jang song tek the uncle of the country's leader had alrea

and it's interesting, the arguments for staying in, today you have dennis ross in "the wall street journal" saying in conclusion mr, but he also has no interest in a wider regional war that could suck america in. and what he's talking about is if we get out, well then israel will launch a war against iran. this is just not credible. basically everyone is trying to pull the u.s. in for their own narrow interests not america's interests. and president trump happens to be right on this one. he's also -- there's a lot of ambiguity obviously about yesterday. that's his style. or his way of thinking. but the idea that if iran were to restart its nuclear program, it would be a disaster. it would be a disaster for them. that's saying nothing different from what the current agreement says. so, in a way trump was just reiterating what the current agreement says. >> yeah. david ignatius, though you did hear yesterday in the remarks by the president actually an understanding between the united states and france now the need for united states to maintain some sort of presence there. jeffrey said, that would certainly be seen a

denny hastert from illinois. he said we're not going to have a debate about this, joe. you're chairman and i'm speaker. that was pretty determinative. i said, yes, sir, mr. speaker. but it was a more lenient rfs, i think a more reasonable rfs. so there's no question that it is important to our corn growers, our agricultural test or but at the same time no one can say ethanol is a struggling, startup industry any more. you don't need the protections, the mandate, the quotas that we have today. so, this octane alternative, high-octane alternative, i think is a very reasonable proposal. i really do. so, i guess my question to mr. nicholson would be, is there any doubt that the manufacturers can manufacture engines to use that type of fuel? >> there's no doubt. we're at the table. u.s. -- i'm representing u.s. car and we're all prepared to redesign our engines to deliver this roughly 3% fuel economy improvement from the 95 run. we think it's a consumer-facing way that consumers will get benefit from, and we'll get reduced greenhouse gases. so we're here and ready to support. >> okay. and i guess -- is it score? is that how you say it? you seem to be the pro

mr. speaker, i rise today to offer real-life account of the raw deal the republicans gave the american people with their g.o.p. tax scam. dennis, a retired constituent of mine from louisville, who still works part-time, recently wrote a letter to the courier general newspaper. he stated, quote, the so-called tax cut for the middle class is going to cost me an estimated $600 more in taxes in 2018. end quote. dennis pays his taxes quarterly which is why he did these calculations now. he added in part, quote, i urge people to look into this so-called great tax break for the middle class, this might change your mind on the current members of congress that have been misleading you to thinking they are actually working to of you unless you are one the big of the big donors, exclamation point, end quote. dennis isn't alone. by the time this scam is fully implemented, more than 80 million middle class families will see their taxes increase. that's not progress, that's a ripoff. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee seek recognition?
