mr. johnson, for five minutes. mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to recognize the nation's oldest continue usely running memorial day parade. the ironton lawrence county memorial day parade. in 1868 the grand army of the republic established may 30 as decoration day, later changed to memorial day to member crate -- commemorate soldiers who died during the civil war. it was in 1868 that ironton held their first parade. 2018 marks 150 straight years of honoring america's fallen heroes. ironton and lawrence county have a long association with america's military. lawrence county was named for james lawrence, a naval hero who commanded the u.s.s. chesapeake. it was lauren's dying command during a naval conflict against the british that is still remembered today. and i quote, don't give up the ship. the 40 members of the parade committee work year-round to organize the event. which has 12 separate divisions and draws tens of thousands of visitors annually. the mend the committee and people of over the last 150 years. i know it's not quite fi

mr. johnson: so you have no doubt that you made it crystal clear and he fully understands exactly what dismantlement means in terms of these negotiations? mr. pompeo: to the best of my ability, senator. mr. johnson: so he understood it. did he have any reaction whatsoever? secretary pompeo: yes. and while i have -- mr. johnson: did he resist it? did he seem welcoming to it? what with a his, as best you could determine through translators, what was his reaction to really was table stakes? secretary pompeo: he was unsurprised. there would be no surprise what secretary pompeo's brief would be when we walked into the room. we made this clear through multiple channels over months of this administration. so there was no surprise. the conversation resolved around -- revolved around how it is we would achieve that, what the mechanisms might be to achieve that. and how the united states would demonstrate in return that we were committed to the assurances that we were prepared to provide to him. mr. johnson: so you say he basically accepted those terms of a negotiation, he knew the u.s. side would be pressing

i think mr johnson is trying and trying extremely hard to the point that this morning here on fox news channel in order to come up persuade mr president about his fateful decision in a few days time about the future of iran deal but i very much doubt it mr johnson will be in the position to persuade the president you still have no idea about. what decision he's going to make what if he can't look at the wind that picture if you look at kind of the responses from other european leaders . for example to french president after his visit to washington and certainly if you look at trump's rhetoric over the last few days it seems that he is more or less ready to get out of the deal in a few days' time despite the fact that mr johnson is really trying i very much doubt it if he has the necessary power to pursue a donald trump. the e.u. leaders of the countries who were party to this agreement based still seem to support it what is it that donald trump doesn't like about it he said it's a it's a terrible deal for the r.t. to take he said it before even became president i've not heard him sayin

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. chair. the endangered species act, the e.s.a., as we call it, imposes numerous burdensome and duplicative regulations on america's hardworking farmers and ranchers. this adversely impacts their ability to provide food not only to america but of course to people all around the world. we all know that activist groups are employing sue and settle tactics to further their ideological agenda to increase the number of species listed under the e.s.a. as the e.s.a. list grows, however, farmers and ranchers are forced to shift their primary focus from food production, which we all need them to focus on, to navigate and comply with bureaucratic hurdles, threatening their very livelylyhoods. my amendment would require the -- livelihoods. my amendment would require the conservation measures already in place when determining whether a potential federal action will jeopardize species or habitat laws. our nation's farmers and ranchers opt in conservation programs. they do so voluntarily. they implement pro

mr. johnson. mr. griffiths, thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. one of the primary objectives of order 1000 was remote interregional transmission development. but there is broad consensus that order 1000 failed to achieve that goal. in your opinion, how will this objective he achieved? is clark: part of it

mr. johnson, mr. long, mr. kramer, mr. -- a question? you'll take the time -- mr. johnson, you're recognized. i'm sorry, let's take time from yielding back. your rights may yield to mr. johnson. mr. griffith, thank you. >> thank you. thank you, mr. chairman. i'll make these quick. mr. clark, you know, one of the primary objectives of order 1,000 was to promote inner regional transmission development, but there is broad consensus that order 1,000 failed to achieve that goal. so, in your opinion, how could this objective be achieved? >> sure. i think part of it is, congressman, and thank you for the question -- part of it is, as i said, attempting to focus in on what you're actually trying to accomplish in the rule. the rule itself is expansive. it ran several hundred pages long. the compliance filings are probably thousands of pages on top of that. and i think part of the reason that you get that result is the order tried to do a lot of things all at once. it was partly competition policy. it was partly an investment policy. it was partly a regional planning policy,

mr. johnson and his family. i think it is going to lift a heavy weight around the world that this actually happened. i thank you as well. >> i think it is great when a great champion doesn't have to worry about the early part of the century -- i think it is great when a great champion comes the honor and even press that another great champion be honored. >> thank you. >> i think that that is a great thing. >> everybody knows sly and what a job he's done. i tell you what, i love his movies. i don't care if it's rambo or rocky, i still don't know which i like better, but sly is a special guy. he's more shy than you would think. if you want to say a word, you can. >> no pressure here; right? mr. president, it is incredible that you have done this because it's one thing -- i have been blessed with the rocky situation, playing that character, and actually when i was writing it, i'm thinking about inspiration for jack johnson, bigger than life, incredible character and always treated so unfairly. his prime was taken a

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. president. rather than read this excellent memorandum which i would encourage my colleagues to do, let me give a summary of what that memorandum states on the history of the blue slip. the blue slip courtesy was created in 1917. it's basically been around for 101 years. only two of 18 judiciary committee chairman have allowed the blue slip to become an absolute vote blocking consideration and confirmation of judges. those two judges -- those two chairmen were james eastland between 1956 and 1978, a 22-year period and senator patrick leahy for about 10 years. of the 101 years that the blue slip courtesy has been around, only 32 of those years has the blue slip been used as an absolute vote by any senator. looking further at the history that i think is relevant to confirmation for wisconsin seat on the seventh circuit, in 1981 wisconsin senator william proxmire returned a negative blue slip on judge john shabazz, a nominee to be a district judge. the senate took that negative blue slip into consid

mr. johnson: thank you. ladies and gentlemen, our government is not a government of, by and for the dictator. our government is of, by and for the people. in america no person, not even the president of the united states, is above the law. yet every day we wake up to new and more disturbing reports about president trump and his accomplices in congress putting their thumbs on the scale of justice in an attempt to stop the mueller investigation or set up a pretext that would provide them cover for firing key officials who oversee that investigation. make no mistake about it, they are waging an all-out war and an assault on the rule of law in america. we are here today because our republican colleagues are failing to stand up and put country over party and politics. ladies and gentlemen, the integrity of our democracy is at stake. the way that this president and his associates in congress are behaving is unprecedented and the implications and ramifications to our democracy are grave. that is while members of co

mr johnson heads to the white house following visits by the french president and the german chancellorilar message, that europe recognises that the iran nuclear deal isn't perfect but it is incredibly important for international security and stability. however, president trump continues to say it is a bad deal and there have been angry words from the other side as well with iran saying that america will regret like never before if it abandons the agreement. as a result the uk, germany and france have been working ona germany and france have been working on a series of proposals to try to address the white house concern, the problem for mrjohnson is although he is due to meet the vice president he is due to meet the vice president he is due to meet the vice president he is not due to meet the president himself. that is perhaps why he is scheduled an appearance on fox and friend tomorrow. that is the cable news programme which mr trump watches and tweets about, and it might be the foreign secretary's best chance to speak directly to the president. best chance to speak directly to the pre

mr johnson has one other problem, that is currently he is not scheduled to meet the president himselfpence and a series of senior white house officials, but it is donald trump's mighty needs to change. perhaps that is why we have seen this article written for the new york times and white borisjohnson will appear on fox and friends tomorrow, a cable news showed that appears in the morning and which donald trump regularly watches and tweets about. it may be the best opportunity for boris johnson to speak to the president. chris butler in washington. spain's high court has confirmed that one of britain's most wanted fugitives, jamie acourt, has accepted his extradition back to the uk. he's wanted on suspicion of drugs offences. he was one of the original suspects, in the murder of the black teenager, stephen lawrence, and has always denied any involvement in the killing. afghan interpreters who worked with british troops fighting the taliban, are appealing to the government for help to bring theirfamilies to the uk to join them. on friday the home secretary, sajid javid, said former tran

talking to a javad zarif, urging him to stick with the deal, essentially teaching keeping the curbs, mr johnson the iranians want to hear whether they can keep investment going? what diplomats are saying the americans have made clear there will be no exemptions, european firms will still be subject to sanctions, if they try to do business with iran, and so the key question for europeans is, can they find a way around that? quite a lot of pessimism here that it will be very difficult and the future bodes very difficult and the future bodes very difficult and the future bodes very difficult times between europe and the us, if they cannot breach the divide. thank you. the pilot of a plane which crashed during the shoreham air show, killing 11 people, has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter. andy hill, who's 54 and from hertfordshire, was flying a hawker hunterjet which came down on a busy road in west sussex in august, 2015. his trial has been set forjanuary. inspectors have expressed concern about what they've described as excessive use of restraints on asylum seekers who were being removed from t

two things follow from this, one the prospect of any compromise with mr johnson on the issue seems aer any compromise can be reached with any of the key brexiteers who seem to be join a red line on the issue. the other big question is whether or isjohnson can remain in government, given that he views the option which the prime ministers seems to favour as crazy. as for the prime minister, she seems determined to hunker down, keep making the argument for the customs partnership, trying to win over individual ministers to get a majority and to face down boris johnson and then, it's up to boris johnson and then, it's up to boris johnson to decide what he's going to do. norman, thank you. rail companies are to hold a public consultation on ticketing, to try to make the system fairer, and easier to use. the industry has admitted that people are not always offered the cheapest fare available. the consultation will lead to a series of proposals for the government to consider. passenger groups say reform is overdue, as our correspondent leigh milner reports. it's fair to say for most of us r

mr. johnson made. this will have a disparate impact and what strikes me of great concern is that this amendment was in essence a closed rule because i submitted an amendment that would basically gather data, ching is what the proponent of this legislation wants, to gather data to ensure that pretrial release is working, that people who would be a threat to the community are not running without restraint. that the numbers of people that would appear for their appearance, you will in court, who were beneficiaries of the retrial release program. but it concerns me again that we nt have any clear parameters for who this will hurt. and also small communities are dependent upon federal grants. their structures, or their structure, may not be the best and so if you're now asking them for reporting of individual offenses, i question the value of that information. what we should have is aggregate numbers of who under the pretrial program is able to, or is in essence not meeting the iteria and is breaking the ag

mr. johnson is here today. we saw him welcome one -- walk-in. that is very strange i imagine that's the case. and one quick observation if it is a question of convenience keep it outside the airports without betraying classified information we know there are some materials nonexplosive nature that we have to account for not sure the canines are trained to that but they have to be if that's the case so keep that in mind why only pre-check check but we welcome for five minutes of questions. >> it's great to see you here mr. secretary as a celtics fan because me a great feeling anybody that is in front of us and mr. russell as well so some quick follow-ups. the list that you have a 95 west there is no reason any employee has to put up with that stressful job my experience has been great but those 50 people are 150 people do they know they are on the list? the neck i'm not sure. but any passenger could go through. >> if they don't know there on the list it would be more effective as a deterrent who they were on the list and you should look into that

mr. johnson, what was the reason you left your last position? "oh, i just thought it was time to follow my dream of working somewhere that is not under 11 investigations. and this panera seems nice. do we cut the bread or does the bread come pre-cut?" but that's only one of the latest controversies surrounding pruitt, because he's also under fire for a $100,000 trip to morocco, and the revelation that the lobbyist who organized the trip for pruitt was then hired by the government of morocco as a $40,000-a-month foreign agent. 40 grand? for that kind of money, you could join the soundproof booth of the month club! of course, the e.p.a. insists that his trip to morocco was a legitimate effort to nail down details of a bilateral trade agreement. and thanks to scott pruitt denying global warming, we'll soon be trading climates with morocco.

mr. johnson. mr. griffith, thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. clark, one of the primary objectives of order 1000 was remote interregional transmission development. but there is broad consensus that order 1000 failed to achieve that goal. in your opinion, how will this objective he achieved? mr. clark: part of it is attempting in on what you are trying to a college in the rule. the rule is expensive. the compliant filings are thousands of pages on top of that. part of the region you get that result is the order tried to do a lot of things all once. it was part of the competition policy, partly an investment policy, partly a regional planning possibly, a cost outpatient policy. some of the dealt with interregional, intraregional. when you push that much out in a rule and expect regions to do some good it, you end up with a lot of bureaucracy and checking compliance boxes. that is why i say i think putting the order on a diet and focus on what you're looking at doing would be the most helpful thing. some of it may be reinforcing some of the plannin

mr. johnson told members of the house of commons that the uk had no intention of walking away from the deal despite the u.s. decision. this is about one hour. >> i will call the senator of state for the commonwealth, boris johnson. >> with permission i will make a statement. i will make a statement on the joint comprehensive plan of action. the government regrets the decision of the u.s. a ministration to withdraw from the deal and reimpose american sanctions on iran. we did our upmost to prevent this outcome from the moment president trump administration took office. we made the case for keeping the jcp away at every level. last sunday i travel to washington and support the agreement. the u.s. decision makes no difference to the british assessment. the constraints imposed on the nuclear impression by the jcp away remained vital for national security and the stability of the middle east. under the agreement, iran has relinquished 95% of its enriched uranium and two thirds of its centrifuges in storage, remove the core of its heavy water reactor and thus closing off the route to a bomb and a

to try to convince president trump not to quit the iran nuclear deal mr johnson's visit comes shortly after the leaders of france and germany made similar efforts in washington last month with emmanuel macro and angela merkel say the current deal is the best way to stop iran from developing nuclear weapons the russian opposition leader alexina valmy has been released after he was arrested at an anti-government rally in moscow he due to go on trial on friday more than a thousand people were detained across the country after demonstrations against president vladimir putin. at least twenty four miners have been killed after a gas explosion trick of the collapse of two separate coal mines in southwestern pakistan emergency crews are trying to free around a dozen others who are trapped they say the blast was caused by a buildup of methane gas in hawaii people have been forced to leave their homes by a volcanic eruption lover steen toxic gas and powerful earthquakes are threatening residential areas. the u.s. is beefing up its naval presence in the north atlantic to deal with what it calls

mr. johnson monday afternoon. of course, a lot of the focus is it for president trump and his administration have been on jobs and the economy. president trump in cleveland yesterday making a big push to try and get the media attention back onto the jobs numbers than the economy. president trump sees a positive for the american people as well as the administration. elizabeth: he got some positive reviews yesterday. ellison barber, thank you very much. leland: the white house talking more and more about tax-cut in the economy. we bring in andy pazner, author of the new book the s. comeback and a close confidant of the president, once a nominee for labor secretary. nice to see you, sir. appreciate you being with us. >> as was noted yesterday when the president was in ohio, sort of rave reviews about his tax cuts and about the economy. as we were in ohio, we saw that from columbus through cleveland. the rest of the economy was doing really well, but even those who voted for him didn't necessarily give him the credit.

that would be something that was on the table and mr johnson coming out with it with his own interview in one of the papers here in the u.k. say that he thought that a customs partnership would be crazy now of course the foreign secretary coming out against it and also other pro deaver's. brigs that tory m.p.'s like jacob reese mark who said that any customs partnership would mean that the u.k. in effect hasn't left the european union another theme over the last few weeks was is defeat on a vote that would have kept the u.k. as members of riots he of european agencies and government plans on that have been defeated and also another vote that would have fixed the date of march twenty ninth of twenty nineteen for the u.k. to leave the e.u. again those government plans being defeated by the house of lords so it seems that at every turn the house of lords while not having the power to outright block the government's plans certainly trying to put up whatever resistance they can conservative policy analyst ben harris quiney thinks the british people won't let the house of lords obstruct the
