mr. kelly: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize the 80th anniversary of a reputable business that is headquartered in my hometown of butler, pennsylvania. hunter truck sales. hunter truck sales is a family owned and operated authorized dealer of peterbilt, an international heavy duty trucks, and one of the largest heavy duty truck commercial providers in the northeast. hunter truck is a staple of the community and their success over the last 80 years confirms that the american dream is alive and thriving in pennsylvania and throughout the whole united states. hunter truck sales is a name that has been synonymous with reliability since its founding in 1938. . homer started this in eau claire, pennsylvania, and quickly developed a reputation for his unparalleled commitment to trucking solutions with personalized sales and service and parts. with hard work and unwavering dedication, the company has continuously grown and was eventually awarded a new truck sales franchise from international harvester

this person said mr. kelly no longer likes the job and doesn't believe the president genuinely wants a chief of staff. the report in the journal adds that the top two choices to replace the journal are nick ayers and mick mulvaney. whether they'll have better luck restraining trump's mercurial instincts than a retire the four star general is an open question. nbc reported kelly was likely to leave by july 31st. i'm joined by the "hardball" roundtable, anita kumar, phil rucke rucker. every time i see the general, i look at a grown-up. every time i see the president, a see something a little different. all right? how does he get to tell the president what to do? it looks to me like he can't, and he has realized now he can't. >> well, he probably can't. he's having trouble with that. if he leaves, the situation at the white house, a lot of things are going to remain exactly the same, right? he's had two chief of staffs. they've had very different backgrounds. >> remind me. reince priebus. >> reince priebus and the

. >> do you think that he can continue to do his job, mr. kelly, given what you just said? going to get beat up everyday. people are not going to forget that he tried to take up for or defend a wife-beater, someone who didn't have a security clearance to work in the white house. i believe the president knew, too. i believe they all knew months ago, that this gentleman beat up his wife, two of them, and it's my understanding that a girlfriend came forward. i don't think people will forget that and just move on. they're going to continue to speak about it, because that's wrong. and it's painful, and he has not even expressed one ounce of sympathy to those poor victims, who had the courage to come forward and tell of their experiences. and when you have a security clearance, the fbi questions you and they know, and they say this gentleman didn't have his security clearance. so, why is he still there? why are they protecting him? because they don't respect women. >> congresswoman fredericka wilson, thank you for your time tonight. >>> i've begun a new project this year i'm exci

mr. kelly: mr. speaker, i thank the gentlelady for including my bill, h.r. 6305, the bipartisan h.s.a. improvement act of 2018, in h.r. 61 9, the restoring ac -- 6199, the restoring access to medication and modernizing health savings accounts act. this expands access to and enhances the utility of health savings accounts, also known as h.s.a.'s. my legislation gives employers more flexibility to offer quality health care in the setting that's best for them. like onsite or retail -- onsite or retail clinics. employers around the country are offering innovative ways to deliver health care to their associates. and this provision makes sure that individuals' health savings accounts can utilize these same services. it also fixes the spouse penalty by allowing individuals to make health savings account contributions if a spouse has a flexible spending account, while preventing double dipping in tax benefits. lastly, it makes it easier for people to save for their health care by streamlining and the conver

did you want to say anything, mr. kelly? >> i just want to end our presentation. it kind of goes to prop a. when i came in as general manager, one of the first things we do is come up with a business plan. our plan, given the fact that we provide low cost power to municipal customers and we have costs to enterprise departments is very hard to make additional revenues because we're constrained on both sides. so one of the strategies was to go and get another 100 mega watts. so we're not trying to gras beyond that. we're just trying to get revenue to provide funds to our general departments and hopefully we can provide at a lower discount to the enterprise departments, city departments. so i just wanted to make it clear that that has been our plan. we've documented that plan. i would say that we have really experienced a lot of challenges, as you well documented, but there is some hope. when the departments come up, they can talk about their pain and cost of projects, and i think that with the supervisors reaching out to pg&e, i think they begin to realize -- and ma

the gentleman recognizes mrs. kellynois for five minutes. >> i know it's been a long day for you. i'll keep it simple. some questions are repetitive. if you can say yes or no. in your time at the fbi, have you ever investigated a member of the democratic party? >> yes. >> did any of those investigations result in an indictment? >> no. not to my recollection. >> have you ever investigated anyone that identifies as independent or unaffiliated with either of the two major political parties? >> ma'am, i don't know. >> so you don't know if any of those resulted in -- >> i don't know -- when i think of the democratic party, secretary clinton was part of the democratic party. i don't -- beyond that i'm not a public corruption agent and political with affiliation is not something that we looked at. >> in your assessment, would your work history suggest a bias by you toward any one police call party? >> no. not at all. >> you investigated secretary clinton for the use of private e-mails. >> yes. >> she's a member of the democrat

welcome.e mr. kelly, you're recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. looking through all this, and again, i think sometimes we forget where the revenue for social security comes from, and it is, of course, from wage taxes or federal insurance contributions act, whatever you want to call it. so it does become a math problem, or a consideration. when i was looking at the total of dollars that come in, payroll taxes make up for 87% of the revenue that comes into social security. another 3% comes from taxes on benefits, and then another 9% on interest on that money. but i'm getting down to when social security was started, if you look at mortality rates, retirement versus the end of benefits being paid to somebody because they past, what was the average mortality rate at that time when we were looking at that window? do we know what that is? goss: well, the average mortality rate, especially for people who -- >> we're at 79 years old now, right? mr. goss you're talking about : the life expectancy? >> yes. mr. goss: at the very beginning of the program, lif

thank you, mr. kelly you're recognized. >> thank you chairman, thank you all for taking time out of your lives to come here with us. we get called out to vote. we control nothing in our lives. once you get elected. everything is scheduled for you. when you talked about loss of market share. i think it was you mr. paap. when you talk about market share and trueing to get market share back, i think as one of the people that actually do what you do as opposed to people who get elected to represented you actually walk that walk -- represent you so -- with the trade imbalance, do we not have a trade imbalance right now? it certainly didn't start with this administration. it started many, many years ago. how would you turn it around? what would you do. what would the levers be that you would use to change it? >> thank you, mr. chairman. congressman, you know, we are fortunate. we've had six decades of trade surpluses and agriculture. we can grow more than we can use. and with those relationships of those other

the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. kelly, for five minutes. you, mr. thank speaker. obviously we live in alternative universes. mr. speaker, america is winning again and before we embark on the august recess, let's take into account what just 18 months of unified republican government has meant to the american people. according to the i.m.d. world competitive centers 2018 rankings, the united states of america has overtaken hong kong as the world's number one most competitive economy thanks to faster economic growth and supportive atmosphere for scientific and technological innovation. our entire stock market is hovering oorned all time highs. our national unemployment rate has reach its lowest level in 18 years. female unemployment has reached its lowest level since 1953. that's over 65 years ago. black and hispanic unemployment have reached their lowest levels ever. more than 3.7 million new jobs have been created since president trump took office, including 358,000 new jobs in manufacturing. in contrast, more than 16,000 manufacturing jobs nationwid

these proposals were included in mr. kelly and mr. blumenauer's bipartisan legislation. additionally, this bill contains the fit act introduced by mr. jason smith and mr. kind, that would allow certain qualified fitness expenses to be eligible items that can be paid for with tax-advantaged dollars offsetting a portion of their costs and promoting healthy activity. lastly, the legislation repeals the affordable care act's unnecessary barriers when it comes to using tax-advantaged health accounts to purchase over the counter medicines, something that i have been pleased to work on with my good friend, congressman kind, for the last several years and i'm encouraged that the bill by congressmen meng and paulsen have joined us. in addition to expanding access for over the counter medication, the bill allows for feminine hygiene products to be considered as as a qualified medical expense. since the passage of the affordable care act, americans have had to seek prescriptions in order to use their health savings and flexible spending accounts on safe and over the counter medicin

mr. kelly, you're recognized. >> thank you, chairman. thank you all for taking time out of your lives to come here. i'm sorry we get called out to vote. we control nothing in our lives. once you get leelected, everythg is scheduled for you. when you talked about loss of market share, i think it was you, when you talk about loss of market share and try to get market share back, i think it's important that people that actually do what you do as opposed to people who get elected to represent you actually walk that walk so when they talk the talk they know what the walk is like. how do you capture market share back once you lose? with the trade imbalance, do we not have one right now? it certainly didn't start with this administration. it started many years ago. how would you turn it around? and what would you do? what would the levers than you would use to change it? >> thank you, mr. chairman. congressman, you know, we are fortunate. we've is him decades of trade surpluses and agriculture. we can grow more than we can use. with those relat

mr. yao, what did you want him to either represent, or in real life did he just already represent that? kellyyeah. i mean, mr. yao, the real mr. yao is very much like that. i think to me, it represents sort of this obstacle where you see the american dream, it's right there, but you just can't reach it. and that's what mr. yao represents to me. and it's very much like the swimming pool in the motel, it's right there, but mr. yao bans mia from going swimming because he thinks she's going to waste too many towels every time she swims. so, it's like right there, and you can see it every day, but you just can't touch it. robert: yeah. how was it for you as an author to be able to put that story in a book and for people to actually read it and get your messages? kelly: yeah, it was terrifying to put so much emotional truth and pain in a story, but also try to, you know, balance it and make it funny because it's for kids and we want the kids to turn the page. but what's been so rewarding is seeing the kids, you know, love the story, fall in love with it. some of the kids--some kids have written to

mr. trump's chief of staff, john f. kelly, reached out to mr. pruitt to tell him the time had come. the president also told reporters he's narrowed his supreme court picks to about five people. a source familiar with the selection process told nbc news it's down to three, these three. at tonight's rally in grape falls the president was teasing up his big reveal. >> as you know there's now a vacancy on the supreme court. and if you turn in monday at 9:00, i think you're going to be extremely happy. right? and they're all great. they're all great. >> now, from there you can say things went off the rails. among other things the president went after maxine waters, elizabeth warren and the nfl. >> we turn away thousands of people. they never say i'm a great speaker. i've broken more than john elten records. and by the way, i don't have a musical instrument. i don't have a guitar or organ. no organ. elton has an organ. yes, she's a low iq individual. pocahontas, they always want me to apologize for saying it and i here by -- oh, yeah, i want to apologize. pocahontas, i apologize to you. i

mr. trump will be joined by secretary of state mike pompeo, national security adviser john bolton, and chief of staff john kelly. in an interview on cbs this evening, mr. trump is downplaying the importance of the meeting between the two world leaders. >> nothing bad is going to come out of it. and maybe some good will come out. i go in with low expectations. i don't really -- i can't tell you what's going to happen. but i can tell you what i'll be asking for and we'll see if something comes of it. >> reporter: although the trump administration has not released an agenda, the president and russian leader are expected to talk about the situation in syria and the ukraine, and russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. special counsel robert mueller handed down an indictment for 12 russian military intelligence officers on friday. gutin denies he ordered the interference but national security adviser john bolton isn't so sure. >> i find it hard to believe, but that's what one of the purposes of this meeting is, eyth president putin and ask him about it. >> reporter: democrats urge the president to cancel

mr. trump will be joined by secretary of state mike pompeo, national security adviser john bolton, and chief of staff john kelly. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> before heading to helsinki, comes to talks with mr. putin, he has low expectations. >> i go into a meeting like that never with high expectations, but maybe some really good stuff can happen. >> not high expectations. you're just -- it's a one-on-one conversation. >> whatever it is, i'm representing our country. i want to do great for our country, and i'm sure he wants to do well for his. but that doesn't make it mutually exclusive. i think we can do something that's good for everybody. >> reporter: last friday, special counsel robert mueller indicted 12 russian military intelligence officers for their efforts to undermine the 2016 presidential election. putin has denied ordering the interference, but national security adviser john bolton today called foul. >> i find it hard to believe, but that's what one of the purposes of this meeting is, so the president can see eye to eye with president putin and ask him about it. >> the russians who were ind

>> kelly, thank you. >>> and this morning, at least one news outlet is reporting mr. trump's short list is now down to two. "the new york times" claims senator mitch mcconnell is helping bend the president's ear. reporting, mcconnell told president trump this past week that judges kethledge and hardiman presented the fewest obvious obstacles to become confirmed. more on the impact on the high court for a generation. pete? >> frances, this will easily be the biggest change to the supreme court in 50 years, and here's why. last year's nomination of neil gorsuch brought in a conservative to fill the vacancy left by the death of scalia, that was a conservative nominep now chooses to succeed anthony kennedy is certain to be more cova kennedy sometimes voted with the liberals on social issues. even so, it's a long shot that the court would overturn roe v. wade, but it may be more likely to uphold state laws that make abortion harder to get, laws that justice kennedy joined with the liberals in striking down. the court is probably not likely to go back to banning gay marriag

mr. giuliani have to say, kelly? >> well this is all about trying to protect the president and to in many ways in a pr sense, undercut the robert mueller investigation in the eyes of the public. in a more narrow sense, what the president's legal team is saying to the special counsel is that in order for the president to agree to any kind of interview, they want to have some information, what basis of a crime has been committed? that they have evidence for that relates to the president. sort of narrowing the scope and saying that you have to be able to connect something that is potentially criminal to the president, in order to justify a sitting president giving this kind of interview. this is the kind of strategy going back and forth where clearly the robert mueller team would like to question the president on a range of topics, his defense team wants to be more narrow about it. in the coming week they plan to put all of this in writing, to the special counsel. there have been conversations happening behind the scene

mr. carlin, and the general manager harlen kelly as well as the members of the commission itself and theonomic and workforce development for finally bringing this to fruition. it has been a long time in coming. it is actually a remarkably complex, not only a land exchange that is before us, but is linked to the central soma plan and the land-use changes that are afoot in the central south of market area in san francisco. and as we all know and we'll hear mr. carlin and the p.u.c., the public utilities commission of san francisco owns a relatively small piece of property in the south of market on branon and 5th street that has the same value as a piece of property in the district 10, commonly known as 2000 marin street, which would be an ideal long-term site for the public utilities commission for the yard and future uses that mr. carlin will describe. but there's an interesting twist. and that twist is that it will be an ideal location for the temporary relocation of san francisco's beloved flower market. which is also implicated in the central soma land-use decision. so i hope that if t

mr. pruitt. itppeared to be based on a lot of reporting this week that it was john kelly the chief of staff that said it's time. >> i thought that was an interesting footnote to the story. because if you ask people in our story to handicap who would last longer, scott pruitt or john kelly. w we probablyld have said scott pruitt. a lot of us work at places that have been running articles predicting john kelly's hayesy exit. and it turns out that it was john kelly who administered the death blow to pruitt. he's still exerting influence and stbll has the at critical moments to say, mr. president, this has gone faren gh. >> can the democrats take the pruitt w controversies, takt the e.p.a. has done and make it a midterm issue or does thi fade with the president's trip to europe with the president me making a supourt pick? >> i think it stays. the europe trip and court nominee will consume our attention. butoc dts will continue to hammer home that look, the president promised to clean it up. and this seems to be aswampy as it gets. that is a message you will hear. i don'txpect confirmation battle ove

mr. trump, especially with midterm elections months away. as kelly o'donnell reports, the threat comes at a time when republicans and democrats were showing bipartisan progress on his budget. >> reporter: his new jersey weekend over, the president heads back to washington with a provocative threat.
