mr. johnson: thank you, my friend. well said. i'm happy to yield to the republican leader of the house agriculture committee, mr. thompson. mr. thompson: i thank the gentleman for his leadership in this special order hour and for yielding. madam speaker, i rise today in this special order to offer thoughts on the real state of our union. last night, president biden addressed the nation and attempted to rewrite the history of his first year in office. his speech included a lot of washington speak and was short on solutions to our everyday challenges. record high inflation. the skyrocketing cost of gas. supply chain disruptions affecting everything from food to consumer goods. president biden owns this energy crisis which is a direct result of his administration crippling domestic production. the issuing of permit, the production on federal lands, the stopping of pipelines, the list goes on and on and on. when we don't produce our own energy it makes us more vulnerable to global market fluctuations such as those caused by russian ag

mr. johnson of georgia. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. johnson: i thank the chairman for the time today. to speak on the fair act. i ask my fellow colleagues to vote yes on this bill. my colleagues and i on the other side of the aisle will disagree on much, but on one thing we can all agree and that is the constitution of the united states of america is a great document. at the beginning of that document is the preamble, and the first 17 words of the preamble, read as follows, we, the people, of the united states, in order to form a more perfect union establish justice and then it goes on. but you can see at the very top the ideal of the founders was to establish justice in this country. and so they went so they went about the constitution by giving power to the legislative branch in article 1, to the executive branch in article 2, to and the judicial branch, the court system, to establish justice in article 3. then the bill of rights gives us individual rights, except article 10 which gives states powers not given to the federal governmen

mr. russell on ancient tennessee political history. there is congressman johnson, making his way back. >> i think mr. owens would have some questions if that is an order. i don't know how you want to go with the timing. >> you are doing a great job, mr. johnson. you were right -- the chairman will now recognize burgess owens. mr. owens, you are recognized for five minutes. >> somebody unmute mr. owens. mr. johnson, can you unmute mr. owens? >> i wish. i'm at the airport. >> mr. owens, are you with us? mr. johnson, i think you are still muted. >> okay, how is that? >> that's good. below hurricane, blow! >> am i okay now to speak quickly? >> you are on five minutes to question our witnesses or speak. you have five minutes. >> thank you so much. i won't take but a few minutes. i just want to say thank you for all of the witnesses, for your comments. i have enjoyed it. i grew up in the deep south. and i can say to -- you are so correct. this country is all about a more perfect union and i'm just excited about the fact that -- i grew up in tallahassee -- a 12 years old

pm johnson: mr.peaker, i think that is a completely ridiculous characterisation of the response of the government, because of course the reports of the incident are deeply distressing and deeply concerning -- everybody shares the honorable lady's feelings about that -- but the metropolitan police have rightly apologised and the independent office for police conduct is investigating. and for that reason, it would not be right, further. >> thank you, mr. speaker. people across north east hertfordshire are coming together to provide support and refuge to families fleeing the invasion in ukraine. the baldock and district action committee are about to welcome four families to our community. doesn't he agree with me that this shows the open-hearted generosity of the british people? will he continue to do all he can with the refugees minister to make this process as simple and speedy as possible? pm johnson: i thank my right hon orable friend and also all those involved in the two big schemes that we have n

mr. johnson: thank you, mrs. steel. so grateful you came to participate. we know you are very busy, in the education and labor committee, thank you for your hard work. we're wrapping up our special order hour, there was a lot going on on capitol hill today, grateful to my colleagues for coming in and sharing this important message for the american people. there's a lot of spin going on in the country right now, from tiktok influencers to media types engaging in spin for the white house at their request. the american people see through it. they're make, being made, to make difficult choices for their families. hard working americans are suffering because of these policy choices. there is crisis after crisis after crisis, everywhere we look, because of frankly put, poor leadership in the white house. i believe that we'll have a change in all of this come november in the next election cycle and with the presidential election that will follow two years later. it can't happen soon enough. the white house has shown no intention, no indication, that they'll rever

mr. johnson, for his opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank our witnesses for being here this morning. this is a hearing, as you know, that's focused on the song "lift every voice and sing" to make it a national hymn. as one scholar wrote, the song is an omni present part of african-american worship traditions and enduring refrain. the song's first public performance was during a celebration of abraham lincoln's birthday in 1900. it's been song on many notable occasions over the last 120 years. every single person as an dignity and value. all of us are created equally in god's image. that's part of the dna of america. racism and racial violence violate the most fundamental principles of our great nation and the will of our creator and we all acknowledge it. america is not perfect, but it's an exceptional country. we're always striving toward a more perfect union. that's our charge and our call. this hearing we'll consider and explore our history, we'll learn from it. it will show us in the end, i think, how exceptional our coun

mr. johnson?ure governments. >> do you not want to answer my question? we're going to have a deal or no deal. one in a million chance? >> could you have done more do you think to expose within the confines of balance journalism, which a major broadcaster stands for? do you feel culpable in some way? >> i don't think we are culpable for that because i don't think that we have indulged in giving soft coverage to politicians because they're entertainment. and i think in britain it's something that we've generally been pretty aware of. >> there's no coincidence who you blame. you blame politicians. you blame journalists. but i would say the debate today is far less healthy. i think the public are far less engaged in it even though there is more media than ever. and i think that's a bit of a problem for the health of our democracy. >> we've got to try and have a relationship, still distant and confrontational. but, you know, understanding that you've got legitimate questions. but we've also got a respo

mr. johnson. >> mister chairman, my best advice is to go to the floor and i think we will have time for oneore answer. >> thank you. mr. jamie raskin, you are recognized. are you with us? he already has his -- >> he has already gone to the floor. >> mess deborah ross has taken off as well. we will be in recess for an hour. until 11:13 eastern time. thank, you everybody. and recess over. no more milk and cookies. next, i guess in our hearing, the last witness was going to be mr. raskin. jamie? jamie is not with us. miss ross are you with us? this is not good. miss garcia? sylvia? well, she s.

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank you and your team also for how collaborative you are in the leadup to these hearings. i want to echo what you said about this being an impressive panel. i'm look forward to hearing from these knowledgeable and solutions-focused experts. but let's be clear, there are threats because there are less knowledgeable and less solutions-focused people who are sharing their views in other venues, i was disappointed earlier this week to see "the new york times" had an opinion piece titled, and i'm not making this up, "meet the people getting paid to kill our planet." and the opinion piece made sweeping inaccurate statements about american agriculture. the piece seemed oblivious to the findkind of progress we're making as a country. it was terrible and made worse by the fact that some members of congress including senator cory booker cooperated with them. the facts are not in dispute. in recent years the u.s. beef industry has reduced methane emissions by 40%. net emissions from

mrs. johnson would have liked that. on the other side i had susan and helen and nobody watched it more interesting than helen. behind us were the wives of the cabinet members and the wives of the supreme court. also as our guests were hobart taylor and jay taylor. then came the senate. then came, i think next comes the core. then the cabinet and the court occupying the front rows. he said the president of the united states. in walked lyndon flanked by old friends of long standing. went up to the podium right in front of the speaker. a charming, lively face for 85. rather humorous but i wonder how many people in chamber were struck with it that there's a dramatic something there that says take care. my favorite line was about the first. i will be brief for our time is necessarily short and our agenda is already long. the line it cobe done by this summer. i want it done so the house and the senate will look better to nation as much as i want it to be done for lyndon's good. the most important thing is where he said this a

mr. johnson: the resources we need for energy security are already located right here.es, of course renewables will play an important role but so will north american oil and gas. the president made a terrible decision. on day one. to cancel the keystone x.l. project. but this bill moves back in the right direction by once again allowing the permitting and the leasing of oil, gas and mineral development on federal lands and waters. developing a plan for that energy security, which this bill would also do, better utize -- utilize north american oil and gas, would reduce pries. it would increase energy security. and it would increase national security. as a result now of course my colleague on the other side of the aisle is right, passing this bill would not reduce energy prices overnight. but the reality is the second best time to plant a tree is today. the second best time to make this kind of investment in energy security would be right now. we did miss too much time we have lost too much time in the first year of the biden administration. but we can get it right now. a

had a look at the six—point plan and one of them, and i think it is a very significant point is, mr johnsone feels the shock value will start to fade and if liz truss is right and this is the struggle for a generation, i suppose it will be interesting to get your take on this, how much the normalisation is a danger because people start to switch off and become less shocked ljy switch off and become less shocked by things that on their own in isolation would be shocking events. i think people have been shocked for some time and this is the first smartphone war and a think for pictures and video what's happening on the ground and everyone who wants to, can go and see it on their phones and you see the reality because, we see the reality, use your ability and brutal warfare is in his life so much that broadcasters can put on their networks that the newspapers can printing the pages and i think out of the shock value and it's all about borisjohnson having a busy six—point plan and how it has struck her generation. the struggle right now, if this is going to be a long battle against vladimir put

audience very well, his broadcasting to what he calls the mother of parliaments, he referred to mr johnson speech in those parameters, and it found a really willing audience. this is a guy who, remember in september 2019, when he met donald trump in the sidelines of the un assembly, he looked like a small boy asking a big man a favourfor looked like a small boy asking a big man a favour for help. now he�*s the one who�*s grown in stature. he�*s also a president who, when he gave his inaugural address, asked his people not to put up pictures of him in their offices, the way people normally do in embassies around the world. he said the president is not an icon. instead of me, put up pictures of your sons, daughters, loved ones. but he�*s rapidly becoming an icon in that picture says it all. becoming an icon in that picture says it all-— says it all. it's interesting, i can't help — says it all. it's interesting, i can't help but _ says it all. it's interesting, i can't help but think - says it all. it's interesting, i can't help but think of - says it all. it's interesting, i. can't help but

mr. johnson was making those comments, in fact, at a conservative party conference. now, before russian forces attacked ukraine, they were bombing syrian population centers like aleppo. years later survivors of the syrian civil war are expressing empathy for the people of ukraine. >> reporter: russia's vicious war in ukraine has shocked the world, but no one should be surprised. for years russia's ruthlessness played out so openly for all to see in syria where countless civilians paid the price for putin propping up his ally. syria and where russia boasted about testing more than 300 types of weapons. it's also where it tested the world's limits, and there seemed today be none. its war has no rules. no one is spared, and no place is safe. russia's bombed hospitals, markets and schools. the u.n. called them war crimes, but no one has faced justice. russia denies its committed these crimes, but its cruel attacks know no bounds. even those rushing to rescue the injured have been targeted by its infamous double tap strikes. >> two of my team, my colleagues we will try to

mr. johnson reacts. jonathan: a very different dependency for europe versus united states and the u.k..o indication about whether it is about the u.k.. it is more about germany. the germans have been clear. for the market we have a move. not a major move. congress was pushing in this direction and have been open about having this conversation. the oil majors are pushing in this direction. tom: the tape is strange. with brent crude $128, the $131 print is important. we are not there yet. timna tanners joins us. exquisite on what you do with all of this stuff because you turn it into steel and other stuff. we are thrilled she could join us on short notice. you are in toledo. you're in a factory in toledo, ohio, where they take all the stuff we are talking about and they actually make stop. what are the people in that factory think of the commodity cycle we are in? timna: thank you for having me. the fact is situation in the russia-ukrainian invasion is critical for raw materials, and in particular when we look at the steel industry, the big impact is the complete squeeze on raw materials.

mr. johnson iphone today. we have not heard from putin. jonathan: we have heard from the spokesperson speaking to reuters, and the word the demands. there will be talks, we understand, later this morning between russia and ukraine. russia is demanding that ukraine cease military action, change its constitution to enshrined neutrality, acknowledge crimea as russian territory, and then recognize the separatist republics. what you did not hear was force a change of leadership and remove president zelensky. that was not in the paragraph we heard from the kremlin spokesperson this morning. are those demands, how will they be stomach by ukrainians in those talks? most people suspect not very well. tom: i think the demands where their days and weeks ago, and from what i know, they are not going to be accepted. on the data friend i am just going to go to the initial search this morning, freeport formed -- three poor .50 -- 34.56 on vix. jonathan: inflation comes out thursday morning, expecting it to be close to 8%. tens are at 1.77%. what do you d
