mr. kennedy, who as mr. poe mentioned before, is a former peace corps volunteer who served in the dominican republic. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized for four minutes. mr. kennedy: appreciate that, mr. speaker. i want to thank my colleague and the ranking member of the committee, mr. engel, for his advocacy for this legislation, for his leadership on the foreign affairs committee, for the time i spent on that committee as well and for all of your sbor for this legislation. i echo -- your support for this legislation. i echo the support of mr. royce and all that he and his staff did to usher this bill through to this point. of course, my colleague, mr. poe, for -- and his team for the leadership they've shown, all he's done to make sure this bill has come with the broad bipartisan support that he has and that, he says, is just the way it is. thank you, judge. i also want to say -- i would be remiss not to reference our dear colleague, former colleague, sam farr, if you

mrs. kennedy was not as gracious, she said, dr. pauling, my little girl wants to know what has daddy done wrong today. [laughter] >> clearly the most controversial guest was jay robert, the father of the atomic bomb, who i think you may have heard little bit about if you were here in the previous discussion. lost his security clearance in 1954 and this was part of an effort by president kennedy and people in the white house staff to -- to initiate some sort of public redemption form and released from purgatory and this was part of two-step process. later on he was given award, selected for award from president kennedy. other people at the dinner who were significant and it was just such an incredible list of -- of people included james baldwin. james baldwin had met robert kennedy that night for the first time, met president kennedy intel and -- as well, a year later they got together and had meeting on civil rights in new york in which baldwin assembled a small group of african-american leaders including lorraine and others and it

mr. kennedy. commissioner ronen? >> thank you, mr. kennedy. i really appreciate this work. i just had one question. i see that you and you're very adamant that they expanded the 9r to 50-foot buses which both go through the portala neighborhood. but i notice you don't call out or specify the portala as a particular focused neighborhood. and i'm wondering if that was just including it with the outter mission and just not naming it. i just want to make sure that you're surveying those residents in similar ways because there is so much congestion on san bruno and the buses are packed. both the 8 and the 9 every single day to the point where people can't get in and where especially on the 9 there are pretty much sites every single day. >> great point. the naming of the neighborhoods -- these neighborhoods -- we were just trying to identify rough areas. as you know, our services go through a number of neighborhoods and a number of areas so portala is just kind of -- i don't want to say lumped in, but it's the general vis valley area and we don't draw specific lines on who we're

mr. kennedy. mr. kennedy: thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for as much time as he wishes to use. mr. kennedy: mr. chairman, thank you. i also want to thank the chairman and ranking member schiff for all their support and advocacy to make this amendment possible today. mr. chairman, just a few weeks ago, d.n.i. director dan coates warned our nation and the world that, quote, we continue to see russian targeting of american society in ways that could affect our mid term elections. it is indisputable that russia succeeded in meddling in our election in 2016. it is indisputable that their success with little consequence will inspire similar attacks in the future. and it is indisputable that our response to these threats has been inadequate. states, cities, and towns have scrambled to secure their own elections without enough guidance and support from our national intelligence community. voters continue to face a torrent of misinformation online. candidates

mrs. kennedy said i want the french chef. so she found another one and worked with immigration and custom and had them made u.s. citizen overnight so she got her french chef but did not violate president kennedy's rule he has to be a citizen. >> also the fact that it could be done overnight left. >> she was a great resource. i called on her great deal. yet what could happen. but then to go to the same miserable experiences but i said did you ever have a problem with the holiday receptions of people getting sick? eggnog at the white house is really strong so you drink it and think this is nothing but then the third one is what would happen people would drink and drink that would hit them don't want to be sick on anybody else they would go to the christmas tree. and they said yes we had vomit trees. [laughter] that was a game to figure how many trees we would have to decorate. [laughter] they said don't worry this is happened before. >> politics didn't matter because we had similar experiences although we had different administ

mrs. kennedy got her french chef but did not violate pres. kennedy's rule that it had to be an american citizen. >> the good old days that you could get something like that done overnight. it is a great resource. i would call on lee, i called on gail a great deal who worked for reagan. this is what is going to happen. it wasn't a magic answer but others went through the same horrible experiences and i hate to tell this one at lunch but did you ever have problems with holiday receptions with people getting thin? the eggnog at the white house is really strong and it hits you really quickly, this is nothing and the third one and you are like what would happen is people would be drinking and it would suddenly hit them and they didn't want to get sick on someone else so went toward christmas trees. how many -- came to figure out how many trees would get decorated by visitors but it wasn't that they had the answer. >> miseries of love company. politics didn't matter because we had similar experiences. the administrations we worked in, we found we w

mrs. kennedy was there along with three of the kennedy grandchildren. i think it should have been a sign. my kennedy retirement is ready to go. i spent the night before working on my justice thomas -- it was a bit of an chamber in the spring court press corps. people have looked at the pictures of him with the president and the vice president and said that is it, he is retiring instead. >> if you people are here for inside, i think you come to the wrong place. if we had his lunch at the end of may and someone said do you think justice kennedy will retire a lot of us would have said there is a lot of rumors to that effect. thisso would have told you would have been partisan gerrymandering. neither of which turned out to be correct. andd gone back to my office i thought i was doing a term and of the story. i send justice kennedy was not going to retire. when we left the court i thought the chances were very slim. the only good thing i did in the one ofnth was go up to the social events where they invite some of us upstairs and some of the justices were mi

mr. kennedy: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank my colleague, mr. raskin, for the kind words, for his leadership on this bill and the legislation, bringing it to this point, and for all of his efforts combating domestic violence as well. i also want to thank my colleagues, in particular congressman young, congresswoman mcmorris rodgers, the republican caucus chair, congresswoman gabbard, congresswoman brooks, as well as chairman goodlatte for his leadership in making sure that this bill comes to the floor today. as well as senator sullivan from alaska, who has been the original author of this legislation, that's been working with me on the this -- on this for the past several years. grateful for his leadership as well. mr. speaker, i remember far too many times in a courtroom, as a state-level prosecutor, the challenges of bringing domestic violence cases to trial. i remember to this day talking to victims, seeing perhaps a paragraph in a police report and something that didn't quite seem right. doing an interview with a victim and peeling back laye

mrs. kennedy, ethel, members of the kennedy family for inviting me to join you again, 25 years later.or kennedy. i thank those who have sung and spoken before, reminding us once more of the timeless wisdom of robert kennedy's words and all of you for the efforts you have made over half a century to advance the work he could not finish. i think if he were here today and as we were told in the invocation, he really is here today. he would remind us that perhaps the words he spoke then are truer today than they were then. [ applause ] in another time of hope and heartbreak and division, it is important that we remember what he meant to us when we were young and what he means today. in 1968, after a couple of years leading up to it, every day seemed to bring a new piece of bad news. in a deepening division in america. it was my last semester in college here at georgetown. someone said, what did you do at the end of your college career? well, martin luther king got killed on april 4, just a few days before that, president johnson said he wouldn't run again. the country was so divided over

mr. kennedy: mr. president, i'm almost embarrassed to talk about what i have to talk about today. we find ourselves in the united states congress once again only days away from causing a lapse in the national flood insurance program. now the majority of members of the united states senate and of the united states house of representatives understand the importance of extending this program, but sadly, some don't. you can lead some people to water but you can't make them think. without congressional action, ordinary americans -- the people who get up every day and go to work and obey the law and pay their taxes and try to do the right things by their kids -- are going to suffer. these kids work pretty hard to earn money it to cover their mortgages, to pay their insurance premiums, to put food on the table, and hopefully have a little extra when all is said and done. the united states government made a promise to these people, mr. president, these tax-paying americans, that if they pay their flood insura

mr. kennedy s. there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed and this is an information item. can you please read the next item? >> item 15, update on the district 10 mobility study. this is an information item. >> ms. hyatt. >> good morning, commissioners. rachel hyatt. rachel hyatt principle planner and this is a status report on the district 10 mobilities study which is the district 10 end tip planning project and the big picture here is supporting health and livability throughout district 10 as it grows. so a significant share of the growth in residence in the city will happen in district 10 and this is an effort to look at ways to support the mobility of existing and future residents through this growth to support health and livability by reducing vehicle miles of travel, strategis that reduce vehicle miles of travel and are independent of muni. talking about noninfrastructure strategies in addition to that would supplement muni service. these are recommendations that could be deployed as pilots in dis

kennedy era. if was where at the end of this christmas party, the president and mrs. bush went to stand in front of the fireplace and had their picture taken with all of us. i'm sure some of you in the room know how it goes, you go through and get a drink and you wait and you go through several marine officers then you get past in front of the president and first lady you have your picture taken then it's on to the party but this wasn't long after the journalist had thrown a shoe at the president. my wife told me before i went to washington, she said don't you dare make any shoe jokes. i said okay. i got to the young marine officer who was standing somewhere over here making sure we behaved ourselves and took our turn. he smiled, everyone was in a good mood it was christmas, the president was on his way out and he was in a good mood. just like my grandfather was, it was over. i told the young officer and i said, my wife told me i wasn't supposed to make any shoe jokes so can i make a shoe jokes? he says oh yes sir. i immediately didn't trust him. i know he is a marine

mrs. kennedy's redecoration i applaud tremendously. i do take issue with her comment that it looked like a run down country grand hotel. given the fact that at that time williamsburg had opened in late '30s, early '40s, americans were using reproduction furniture in quantities. antiques actually were tossed aside or donated to museums. i've always thought the truman administration gets a bad rap for using reproductions and also you go back to the 1902 renovation of the white house under theodore roosevelt. the same thing existed. the blue room furniture was a conjured up version of what they thought might have been there and that existed in many of the rooms. so i'd like your comment on -- actually, i'd like to never hear again about how badly the trumans -- i think they did a good job with it. >> let's pass the microphone down here. there were two other hands. there we go. gayle berry west? >> my question is a little different but we're looking at historical perspectives and the beauty of the white house and the stone mason's cutting

mr. kennedy, we want you to go to the moon," i believe technology actually offered more choice, more opportunity in these places, and the best contrast to the president is a contrast of the past versus the future. we're going to bring the future to these communities to give them more choice so their kids are going to have more opportunity in the 21st century. thank you. >> thank you, representative. [ applause ] we're going to close our panel with closing remarks from congressman delaney and kim and paul, and paul weinstein. just two minutes each. just closing, kind of summary. will says one, but i am in charge, so i say two. two minutes each. and let's start with you, congressman. >> so 70% of the kids in this country live in a county where there's no evidence of any upward economic mobility. that means the jobs getting created are worse than the jobs that used to exist. that's 70% of the kids. yet last year, 80% of the professionally managed venture capital in the united states of america, the smart money, went to 50 counties in this country. that's 1.6% of the counties. so that in many ways i

mr. kennedy, thank you for your support. this is senator sullivan's bill although i had a can companion bill -- i had a companion bill on the house side. we are addressing domestic violence which is a tear on our society. no one's immune to it be it race, poor, whatever ethic group. it cuts across the aisle. a lot of alaskans have first-time in this. out of every 100 victims, adult women, 40 experience immediate partner violence, intimate partner violence. 33 experience sexual violence. and one in three adult women in alaska has been a victim of stalking in their lifetime. not only must we do more to prevent this epidemic from growing, we must also be more to help the survivors and that's what this bill does, the power act. it allows the victims to have legal representation, pro bono from the legal profession to take and present their cases. i believe this bill is well and long overdue. if i can refer to what mr. kennedy said, i have a little experience myself. i had a dear friend of mine who was a friend of my past wife tha

mrs. kennedy got hurt french chef. when you can do something like that overnight. it is a great resource. i would call on that. he worked for reagan. i would say does this head to do with that. this is what can happen. it wasn't that they have the magic answer all the time. there were comfort in knowing that others went through the same experiences and i hate to tell this so i will make it as pleasant as possible. did you ever have problems on the holiday perceptions with people getting sick. and eggnog at the white house is really strong. and it have to really quickly. and then the third one and you're like and what would happen as is people would be drinking and it would suddenly hit them. they did not want to get sick towards one of the christmas trees. how many will get hit. it was always kind of a game to figure how many trees would get decorated. it was like don't worry. this has happened is happened before. the politics doesn't matter. because we have similar experiences. we were changed by the job we are very focused on making sure that all the event goes s

mrs. kennedy, that we educate the public about the history of the white house. so we have undertaken a very robust education program here. that teaches and tells the stories of white house history going back 226 years, to the day when george washington selected the site of the white house just across the street from where we're located here on lafayette park tonight. a key part of our education mission, would be our publications, this year we will publish several books related to white house history. we have a quarterly magazine related to white house history. and it's terrific that these are all available to the public and can be purchased online or in our shop here. and i'll say a little bit more about that at the end of my remarks. this particular program is sponsored by the david m. reubenstein national center for white house history led by dr. curtis sandberg and his colleagues here on our staff that undertake the robust education program that we have. those, tonight's speaker is clifton truman daniel, the oldest grandson of president truman and bess truman

mr. kennedy and unfortunately mr. nixon combined that treaty -- reagan was brave enough and moral enough and --ategic enough to emphasize oni started a seminar series nuclear defense as part of the commission report and i still run it. i've done around 7000 events. missile defense was half of my 1983.rs starting in a number of things happened. one is that missile defense was used as the primary lever to end the cold war. beyond any doubt. unfortunately, when the senate flipped to the democrats in 1987 , money for missile defense was diminished. was negotiating with the russians to do a global protection against limited strikes which yeltsin announced at the united nations you was in favor of. be then, certain powers that during the 1992 campaign pulled it back. when clinton came in, the first thing, less aspen who was my unfortunately got up and said, i'm going to take the stars out of star wars and 40% of missile defense systems and that took us an entire decade to pass the missile-defense act. now the policy of the

mr. kennedy in the '63 period. unfortunately mr. nixon combined that treaty. but reagan was brave enough and moral enough and strategic enough to emphasize that to his dying day, i think. >> that's a good question. i started a seminary series on nuclear deterrents and missile defense as part of the commission report. and i still run it. i've done somewhere other 1700 events. missile defense was half of all my seminars after his speech in march of '83. a number of things happened. one is that missile defense was used as i think the primary lea leafleaf -- lever to end the cold war. when the democrats flipped the senate in '87 money were missile defense was reduced. negotiating with the russians to do a global protection against limited strikes which yeltsin was in favor of. but certain powers that be pulled it back. when clinton came in, les aspen got up and said i'm going to take the stars out of "star wars" and cut 40% of all the three t theater defense systems. it took us a decade to pass the missile defense act. we basically over a period of end of the cold

mrs. kennedy showing up that morning and i also remembered that thurgood marshall was the final day of the term but not announced and he decided to tell his colleagues afterwords and sometime in the early afternoon i thought it was possible the same thing would happen with justice kennedy so i had written both worries and my final sentence was the kennedy watch is not over yet so what that's worth which isn't much simply thinking it would happen. >> so justice kennedy's colleagues on the bench that morning did they keep their poker face or did they find out when you did? >> the press release said he informed his colleagues that da day. >> you had a front-page story about the white house campaign to get justice kennedy to inauguration day what it took to put the president story together. >> that that was one of his most dearly thought wishes to arrive with a vacancy to have the opportunity to put one justice on the court was a huge achievement but it was a swap for what he really wanted to do was shift the balance of power almost from the moment he got there i know that justice kennedy was

mr. kennedy until after the midterm elections.e senators decided that they would highlight the threat to abortion rights and health care to try to mobilize opposition to trump's appointment. is that enough? joining me now is a political science professor at the university of miami. jennifer rubin, "washington post" opinion writer and msnbc political analyst and jason johnson, political editor of theroot.c theroot.com. i want to start with you dr. koger because you wrote an interesting article that got people buzzing on social media and what you wrote about was a potential sort of parliamentary procedure that democrats could use to shut down the senate, denying republicans a quorum if all 49 democrats refuse to show up. could that work? >> the short sans no. just to explain. i wrote that blog post june 20 which is 33 news cycles ago. and my main point is that the senate should be a deliberative body that debates the main policy questions of our day and that senate democrats could stand up for themselves and break a quorum in an eff

mr. president, yesterday, justice anthony kennedy announced his retirement, creating a vacancy on the supreme court. after kennedy's departure, the supreme court will be evenly divided between justices appointed by republican presidents and justices appointed by democratic presidents. whoever fills justice kennedy's seat on the court will have the opportunity to impact the laws of the united states and the rights of its citizens for a generation. because justice kennedy was frequently independent minded and a deciding vote on issues like marriage equality and a woman's right to choose, a more ideological successor could upend decades of precedent and drag america backwards to a time before americans with preexisting conditions could affordably access health care, to a time when women could not be prosecuted as criminals for exercising their reproductive rights, to a time before gay and lesbian americans could marry whom they love. an ideological justice, more extreme in their views than kennedy, could eviscerate the rights of workers to organize and bargain collectively for a fair wage and st

the majority mrs., kennedy also misses, this concept behind locational data which is that when you go out in public what you say and do can be seen and heard by others. what would be forced the police to close their eyes or cover their ears? there is something weird about that. you assume the risk. part of that assumption is if i do a jig on the street, if somebody sees me do it, why should i or so my brother a police sergeant to close his eyes and not watch what i'm doing? they don't grapple with that. that goes back to hester and alled states in 2007, versus u.s. in 1984. this underlying public space doctrine, i think, matters. the second is it does not address this informant doctrine. this comes from a long line of doctrine. prior to katz, leaves doctrine untouched. following that we have two more cases that enforce the informant doctrine. finally, the evidence rule. they don't adequately investigate the relationship and the extent to which demanding your records may be used as evidence against you in violation of the rights laid out in the fifth amendment. to conclude, i have to s

kennedy ii. i had the privilege of serving mr. joseph kennedy iii. and i say privilege because he has -- he remind me so much of his grandfather, it's just a funny thing. most members probably were not old enough to have any interaction or even been in the same room or something as a volunteer student with robert kennedy. it reminds me so much of him. but the whole family, whether it's carrie with the human rights committee and foundation or kathleen running in maryland on her own, kathleen, we take great pride of her in maryland. but the whole family as so many of you know are about values, about acting upon values. and getting back to joe, deciding to engage in the public sector. and in the family tradition as his grandfather did, making his own mark. and that is something that gives hope to so many people, certainly inspiring to everyone. and just i feel so honored to be even able to participate in this and share how our family interacted with the robert kennedy campaign those many years ago. and to be in this room, what power he had as a personal

mr. kennedy: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to amend the rule and make in order the quigley amendment to restore funds to prevent russia from again interfering in our elections. the speaker pro tempore: the chair understands that the gentleman from washington does not -- has not yielded for that purpose. therefore the unanimous consent request can cannot be entertained. the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, i will now yield to the gentlewoman from hawaii, ms. gabbard, for the purpose of a unanimous consent request. ms. gabbard: i ask unanimous consent to amend the rule to make in order the quigley amendment to restore funds to help our states secure their vulnerable election systems. the speaker pro tempore: the chair understands that the gentleman from washington has not yielded for that purpose. therefore the unanimous consent request cannot be entertained. the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, i yield to the gentleman from michigan, mr. kildee. th

mr. president, robert bork was rejected and justice kennedy took his place, and today we face similar stakes right now in this moment. voting rights are at stake, lgbtq right are at stakes, the right to organize collectively is at stake. those are just a few. there's a lot more. families across the country are paying attention and they are going to be watching what president trump and individual members of this united states senate do right now. they are going to -- they are going to -- to want to know if their rights will be protected, will their freedoms and secure, will the supreme court put people like them first or will they stand with special interests and big business and the most extreme idealogues in our country? those are the questions people across this country will be asking. that is the conversation i expect we will have here in the united states senate. and that what president trump should be considering as he thinks about this issue, and hopefully as he slows this down and gives people across the country a chance to weigh in. mr. president, one issue i know women across the co

mr. tough guy. kennedy: politics need to be more chaotic and entertaining.s president trump have reason to be worried? is biden the best person the democrats have right now? and does he pose the biggest threat to the president? >> i think he is the best person to have. everyone else they either don't have full faith in or has already run and failed. the president should be afraid of biden. he appeals to the left and the right. you can't dislike the guy for the most of part. i like him. he's extremely likeable. and he punches back. i think he's the on person when it comes to the president who can go tirk t for tat. but anything he throws, he can throw right back. trump when he's emotionallyup set is never a good thing for himself or his party. >> it's allly all the concerns -- it's all the things -- the concerns i have about trump. he's focused on the tiny segment of older white voters who are disenfranchised and switched from obama to trump. the obama-trump switchers can be mine again. to make american politics, lower i.q., more populist and lower brow is no
