. >> we'll hear argument first this morning, case 18-1059, kelly versus u.s. mr. roth? >> mr. chief justice and may it please the court. once again, the government is trying to use the open-ended federal fraud statutes to enforce honest government at the state and local levels. its theory this time is that the defendants committed property fraud by reallocating two traffic lanes from one public road to another without disclosing their real political reason for doing so. this theory turns the integrity of every official action at every level of government into a potential federal fraud investigation. it end runs mcnally and skilling by subsuming honest services fraud within property fraud and by criminalizing ulterior motives, even without bribes or kickbacks. it would affect a sweeping expansion of federal criminal jurisdiction into a particularly fraught area. this is not the law. this court in cleveland held that regulatory authority is not property. so an official who induces a sovereign decision through deceit has not obtained property by fraud. only when the official lies

mr. speaker. i rise today to share the story of the ridley school district, which is leading the charge in our community to raise awareness of the importance of the upcoming census. under the leadership of kelly, the director of people service, the ridley school district has launched a district wide effort to ensure a complete and fair count in the 2020 cren discuss. ms. scanlon: 10 years ago, pennsylvania undercounted over 25,000 children resulting in a loss of nearly $44 million in funding for critical programs like health care, snap, school lunches, affordable housing, teacher training, and classroom technology. ms. spanberger: these programs were all impacted by the undercount. since children are among those most likely to be undercounted, it's particularly important for schools like ridley to promote a complete census count. community leaders like kelly are working hard alongside local churches, preschools, shelters, housing authorities, public libraries, and using social media to spread the word that we all count. the census is the basis for how the federal government distributes billions of tax dollars. so we need a complete count. our children and our communities can't afford another

there is no kelly or mattis or anybody else there to say, no, mr. president, argue a point of view.t they have in common, i guess white-collar crime, fraud, tax deceptio an abity to give money to republican causes. i mean, you know, there is almost a self-identification with many of these e, because the president has not gone unarged on some o these actions or similar actions. and so -- i really think that it's in the a question of like i don't know mickehael mil but he certainly did change american fince while he was there. >> woodruff: they called him the junk bond king. >> it should be said, just to get back to roger sto'ne, were all made in the image of god, but it's hard to think of eesomebody whose public cahas shown fewer redeeming qualities, and the president has surrounded himself with shady character, and roger stone is almost epically shady. >> woodruff: and this is the third individual who waslo considered to the president who was set off to prison at a time when there's a lot of focus on what thedo president ca again, he has the power to commute sentences, to pardonan p

mr. liuzza, and she got a very good look at the perpetrator. ms. kellyher witnesses testified they saw a man with a blue steel revolver, 6 feet tall with close-cut hair running past them. john thompson was 5-8 with a big bushy afro. kevin freeman was 6 feet tall, went by the nickname "kojak" because of his close-cut hair. once all the evidence was examined, it was clear beyond imagination that kevin freeman, acting alone, murdered ray liuzza. >> michael and gordon now believe they had a strong case for a new trial. >> we had an evidentiary hearing in front of judge quinlan, and quinlan vacated the death sentence, but he refused to vacate guilt. >> judge quinlan refused to grant a new trial. >> we were devastated. yes, it was wonderful to have john thompson spared from execution, but we were still looking at a man in his 30s who is going to be facing the rest of his life in jail. >> so you're going to take the death penalty back and give me a life sentence? i was scared to death even more so now. you telling me i never going home again? well, that didn't

brilliant woman kelly james torrence, i'm throwing this at her in the last minute because she's a pro, doesn't really help my cause, mr the justice department did a formally ending pursuing any charges against andy mccabe, what do you make of it? >> i have to say i don't think the president, neil, is going to take bill barr's advice and stop tweeting, i'm waiting any second now for a tweet, i'm sure the president is not happy about the probe being dropped against andrew mccabe and i'm surprised a little myself, he's the inspector general accused of lying at least 4 times, keep in mind that lying and found guilty of, the idea that it's against the president who seems to have done something very similar and it's not going to be charged. it's a bit of a surprise. the department was being extra careful with this case because they've been under fire so much lately. neil: they were doing the president's bidding, i understand not to pursue charges against somebody, that will raise questions. the justice department with concerns of how everything looks. >> exactly, that's what we are hearing, of course, we heard yesterday fro

mr. courier. the next person we are going to have come up is ms. kelly cutler from the coalition of homelessness. they have been a part of our working group. >> good evening. yeah, i've been part of this process from the beginning, and it's been a really good community process. it's been really cool to be able to work with the folks in your district and they've been great, because a lot of things i haven't had to say because they are challenging and holding the city accountable in different ways that has been great. the different concerns about the program have, haven't been concerns with the program, because it's been going really pretty smoothly. and we haven't been hearing on our outreach. >> knock on wood. >> yeah. and really what we value a lot is what we hear from folks who, like on outreach and things like that. and so, yeah, so that's been a positive thing. at the same time, we need more. we need a lot more. we need more programs in different districts, because what we have been having to deal with is where we are seeing, where we are going to m.

mr. hastings, i know your chief of operations, but if we can pull back a little bit, when general kelly was secretary of homeland security here in this committee, he testified -- and i'm going to paraphrase him -- that border security goes beyond our border, and i'm thinking to myself you don't wake up one morning and say, oh, my gosh, look at all those folks at our doorstep. i have to imagine you coordinator with other agencies and federal government with other governments and begin to see that flow of refugees, that flow of migrants moving, and so my thought is how do you prepare, or are you preparing for those ensuing waves of refugees that are coming not only from south of the border, not only from central america, but other parts of the world? i don't see this as a one incident phenomena, but rather as a world, areas of conflict continue to escalate as you have folks in harm's way. this is going to continue to be a challenge migration, refugees from around the world. are you doing anything to anticipate these kinds of situations, near future and long-term? >> yeah, so we're embedded wi

mr. bloomberg is a founder of bloomberg lp, and bloomberg news, these radio and tv facilities as well. we want to dive forward with a further discussion with stephanie kellyd, and james bevan. he is a bull on equities as well. stephanie, an open question. your thoughts on the american political process and how it fixates all, and how it then folds into our investment thinking. what do you do with that? stephanie: i think in particular , this year's election is a prime example of how investors are already trying to make that calculation, which is that really complicated thing of all of a sudden having to understand how the delegate counts work and who will win the democratic primary, and if they win that, how they will do against trump. with the primaries show so far is that surprises can happen. in particular what is most striking to me about the new hampshire win is not so much people talking about sanders, and investors are very focused on sanders because of his progressive policy agenda. but the news media is focused on who has momentum, who has beaten expectations? it is fair to say that bernie sanders met expectations last night, but he did not beat

kelly is recognized. >> thank you. as you noted, the recent reporting by the washington post and the continued work of the special inspector general has shown that the american people have been misled. mr. sopko, when you are with us you told the committee that you believed, and i quote, that transparency is the best policy for everybody. when it comes to afghanistan, why does transparency matter so much? >> well, i think for too apparent reasons. number one, american lives are on the line, and if you just tell congress the good news, and not the bad news americans will die. secondly, we have spent more money in afghanistan on reconstruction that we did on the entire martial plant to rebuild all of europe, so it's a lot of taxpayer dollars. if you add in the 700 million on the war fighting, close to one trillion dollars, so i think it would behoove administration witnesses and igs to speak of truth to power to tell you what is going on and what is not. witnesses and ilet's be honest , that is the real dishonesty that we have been dishonest to ourselves a number of people coming here and testifying have tried to paint the good story. i don't know if it's for getting a promotion, or if i

mr. pallone: thank you, madam speaker. i now yield one minute to the -- the gentleman from illinois who is a member of our committee, ms. kelly. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman may proceed. ms. kelly: thank you, madam speaker. as chair of the congressional black caucus health brain trust, i rise to express my support for h.r. 2339, the protecting american lungs and reversing the youth tobacco epidemic act of 2020. this critical legislation will protect young people, especially young people of color, from a lifetime of nicotine addiction. simply put, prohibiting menthol and other flavored tobacco products will save lives, especially black lives. opponents of the legislation assert that because 85% of the african-americanmokers use menthol products that it would disproportionately harm communities of color. this logic only perpetuates the cyclin which many members of the african-american community are already tracked. tobacco companies specifically market menthol cigarettes to black communities because they are more addictive. opposing this bill only continues this shameful path. we must pass h.r. 2339 and ensure that
