[laughter] leverage iscessive the common theme of many earlier financial crises. are we so much cleverer than the financiers of the past? that was not a welcome statement. it turns out we weren't. i don't think it is ever easy to say that that particular level of leverage was going to generate a crisis. there is an element of randomness in these small events that triggered the crisis. it w

mr. kingi hope we learned the lesson that this was bigger than financial crisis. it represented a serious problem in the world economy. i think that is the most important lesson. second, we learned we need to worry not just about the amount of equity capital banks issue, we need to limit the leverage, but we also need to tackle the problem that banks are inherently unstable. people take their money out, or they don't roll over there letting, and we need to do that. francine: did we see early signs of it? mr. king: i think we saw signs in the world economy, and we should have given more weight to the rise of leverage in the banking system. at that point, the banks themselves were deeply reluctant to admit what was going on was not sustainable. francine: at what point in the lead up to the financial crisis did you think there was something seriously wrong? mr. king: i give a speech before the crisis erected in 2007 at the mansion house in london. ignore the unsolicited emails that rained down on

mr. kingt is difficult to : exaggerate the severity and importance of these events. not since the beginning of the first world war has our banking system been so close to collapse. francine: mervyn king was at the epicenter of the biggest crisis -- biggest exercise in crisis management in modern financial history. he was at the helm of the bank of england in 2007, pumping billions of pounds into the economy and knocking interest rates to near joining me on zero.

with me i have mr. king from new york, who chairs our subcommittee on emerging threats, and mr. desantis from florida, who chairs the oversight committee subcommittee on national security. what we are here to announce is an inquiry into russia's involvement in the uranium deal done several years ago. this is just the beginning of this probe. we are not going to jump to any conclusions at this time, but one of the things, as you know, we are concerned about is whether or not there was an fbi investigation, was there a doj investigation, and if so, why was congress not informed of this matter? that will be the start of the probe. it will be two different committees looking into this. we will keep you posted with further details. let me go to mr. desantis, filling in for mr. gowdy today. rep. desantis: we do have a witness who was a confidential informant who wants to talk about his role in this. we are in contact with the justice department to release him from a nondisclosure agreement. if that doesn't work out in a timely fashion, we obviously would be able to subpoena him. commi

mr. king: under the rules, will to him.ime to contend contend i remember when you were governor, you were a fine governor. let me explain gently why i think my way is better. what i'm proposing in this amendment was proposed by president clinton with respect to tanf, and it has worked. it has worked in every single state. and it's worked because president clinton -- he didn't approach it being hard hearted or the purpose wasn't to throw anybody out in the cold. the purpose was to help people understand the dignity of being self-sufficient. now some people respond well to reason. when they see the light. others need to feel the heat. my son is in the latter category. what i'm proposing is a rule that just says, if you want to access these programs and you're healthy and don't have children and you are relatively young, then you have to work 20 hours a week, we'll help you get a job. look at the labor participation rate. there are jobs available. if you don't want to work, that's cool, you have

. >> so next we'll go to mr. king. mr. king is of particular relevance not only because he chairs the subcommittee that overzs fbi and d.o.j. and treasury from our committee, but also because he was a chairman back at the time and sent a letter in opposition questioning the sale of this company, he sent that letter to secretary geithner at the time, the treasury secretary. so we are happy that he's still here and will be the point person from our committee on this investigation. mr. king? >> thank you, chairman. october 2010 i was the ranking member in homeland security and myself and three other ranking members sent a letter to the treasury department raising very, very real concerns about why we would allow a russian owned company to get access to 20% of america's uranium supply. any number of reasons, objections we raised, questions we raised and it was brought to the highest levels. i got a letter in response from treasury secretary geithner who was on the sifius committee saying this was getting full scrutiny. so this

but with me today i have mr. kingwho chairs our subcommittee on emerging threats, and then mr. desantes from florida who chairs the subcommittee on national security. what we're here today to announce is an inquiry into russia's involvement into the iranian deal that was done several years ago. this is just the beginning of this probe. we are not going to jump to any conclusions at this time, but one of the things, as you know, that we're concerned about is whether or not there was an fbi investigation. was there a doj investigation? and if so, why was congress not informed of this matter? so that's -- that will be the start of the probe. it will be two different committees who will be looking into this and we will keep you posted with further details. let me go to mr. desantos who is filling in for mr. gowdy today. >> thank you, mr. chairman. we do have a witness who is a confidential informant who wants to talk about his role in this, and we're in contact with the justice department to release him from a nondisclosu

this is not art mr. kingfor the freedom riders are rosa park with the abolitionists who have a cohesive message and say this is what we are doing. this is why we are doing it. >> either way, all the great american movements he just detailed going back to the abolitionist movement protested under the guise of embracing the first of principles upon. they were very pro-american ideals. forgive me for respectfully disagree with you. the mall with this became about colin kaepernick sitting down for the national in august 2016 and he was asked about it. he was asked about it at that time instead i'm sitting because i will not honor the flag for this country. the reason he didn't like the country but it wasn't worth honor was because of his perceived impression of african-americans. as soon as you disrespect the flag it is about the flag in this about the country. leland: that is what kaepernick said. we've got that up on the screen right now. i will let you plug your show real quick so folks can hear your response

mr. kaine: i co-do have co-sponsor, if i could add senators warner, king, and murray as co-sponsors. mr. enzi: speaking in opposition this would change the chair's ant to change discretionary spending levels in the event congress and the president agreed to new discretionary levels for fiscal year 2018. i believe we can have an honest discussion about each spending prior toin its own merit. i reject the idea that defense and nondefense have to be tied together. doing is so mere lay negotiating tactic and it's unfair to our service members. the constitution first and foremost entrusts us with the duty to provide for our defense. that duty requires matching our military spending to the missions we ask our troops to carry out and the threats they face doing. so the senate agreed last month with a strong bipartisan vote to an 89-8 higher spending level for the defense department. this budget reflects that bipartisan vote by including the most regular discretionary defense spending we can under applicable budget law, along with appropriate level for the overseas contingency operations acco

head could do something crazy like this and guess what it was fake according to local jewish leaders mr king wasn't even jewish himself local authorities did know that he falsely reported hate crime is just as bad as a real crime but it doesn't end there a professor at the indiana state university claimed he was receiving and muslim threats via e-mail he also told the police that at university he was physically assaulted now this sparked a frenzy throughout the campus the university doesn't tolerate intolerance if someone has experienced an intolerance act either in person or by e-mail or by phone we encourage them to reported to law enforcement with oh no they all wound up over nothing but another hoax the most a geisha didn't find any witnesses to the u.s. attack and later the cyber department found out the professor himself sent out those muslim hate mails. based upon the investigation there is no belief that hussein was trying to gain sympathy by becoming a victim of unseen muslim threats which he had created himself playing the victim way out in the me hind bars and here is one more cas

mr. king is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. the gentleman is recognized. mr. king: it is my privilege to be recognized to address you here on the floor of the united states house of representatives and to discuss topics that are on my mind and hopefully you'll consider these arguments as well, mr. speaker, and i know that people across this floor and across the country have a lot of these same considerations in mind. and i wanted to come to the floor an address the daca situation and take you through a little bit of the history of the deferred action for childhood arrivals which was implemented by barack obama in an unconstitutional fashion and he knew it, all of america knew it. we know that barack obama, 22 times, said that he didn't have the constitutional authority to implement a program that granted the equivalent to amnesty, at least temporary amnesty, let alone a work permit which he added to the program, by executive edict, fiat or order. instead, it r

mr. king: mr. president, i rise today to talk about a subject that's been much on our minds recently, in recent weeks and months and in fact years and that is health care. one of the most complex, confusing but important topics that we have to consider. before i get into the bulk of what i want to address, i think i want to make the point once again that as we're debating health care and debating who pays, how much they pay, whether it's the a.c.a. or medicare or medicaid or private insurance or private pay, we also have to begin a serious discussion about the underlying cost of health care. regardless of who is paying, it's going to break us. if health care continues to grow and cost as it has over the last 20 years, it's going to eat the federal budget, family budgets, individual budgets, and it's going to be something that we absolutely have to address. usually around here we don't address something until it's a crisis. i would argue as we're approaching 20% of g.d.p., one out of every $5 in the

mr. king: mr. president, i listened with interest to the senator from pennsylvania's comments and, as always, he was articulate and thoughtful and made a strong case. i would like to speak to the issue that we are going to be addressing over the next few days, the next few weeks and probably the next few months, not necessarily to be opposed, but to talk about how we can get where we all want to be, which is lower taxes, higher growth, and a stronger united states economy. i think it's important to emphasize at the beginning that, just so we all know, what we're talking about in the next couple of days isn't a budget. as the senator from pennsylvania noted, it is really a vehicle for a massive tax cut. my problem with the tax cut is not necessarily that we're going to have one, but the question is, how is it structured, who gets the benefits and how is it paid for? as the senator pointed out, we still don't know what the plan is. we have an outline, we have principles, we have bullet points, we hav

mr. king >> this amendment is the essence of fiscal responsibility and simply reinstate a rule that was a rule from 2007 until the 2016 budget resolution. it simply says reconciliation instructions cannot create or add to the deficit or diminish a surplus. this is called the conrad rule. this is the rule here and it just seems to me this is sort of common sense. everybody talks about worrying about the deficit. why shouldn't we be able to object to provisions that do in fact and will in fact add to the deficit so that's the essence of the amendment. it's nothing new. this was the rule here for some 10 years and it should continue to be the rule and perhaps it would help us get out of this deep hole that we are in. thank you. >> senator whitehouse. >> mr. chairman this was really why the budget committee was formed and is senator byrd was in at the creation of this told us when he testified i guess in 2009 before the committee, if you are going to use reconciliation, not to be ripped to reduce

with that king salman meeting with mr. putin -- we've got king solomon meeting with mr.day. they say they are not discussing russian participation in an iranian ipo. saudi arabia and russian have come and energy interests, and the talks on energy corporations are ongoing with russia. there's an interest that they will extend that deal. anna and i started the day with this. dollar.uld be buying the oldla every fourth quarter, it rises by 3%. we just talked about trump. it suits trump to have a soft dollar, but here we are. the data says we get a rally in the fourth quarter. do during the rally? >> i do think we get another -- do you join the rally? >> i do think we get an upward direction. earlier, it could go very far. the market didn't want to extend. of course, if we do get some positive surprises on the fiscal front, then that could push the dollar further, but the market remains skeptical. i'm talking about tax reform. trump and various republicans have indicated we can have tax reform a christmas, but very few people in the market are prepared to believe that. if we

mr. king? reporter: [inaudible] >> let me say on this is totally separate from the election issue. this has nothing to do with the 2016 election. this goes back to dealings went on in 2010, 2011 and 2012. going pack to that time. not anything to do with the russian election. we had no knowledge of any investigation going on. we were questioning policy of why 20% of america, u.s.'s uranium supplies is given to russians, russian-owned company. we were not considering any criminal activity, any investigatory matter this is strictly this is policy issue. geithner bite back to us looked at cfius where he sits on board. we had policy questions at that time. didn't make sense to us. in view of recent events, important to to forward the investigation. >> one more question? you look like a guy that knows how to read. i go back and read the statement i said at the time. one more question. back there. reporter: hadn't talked to white house. have you committed you will not talk to the white house in this instance? >> i mean i don't know, we're going to have to talk to the executive branch at s

way it will only backfire and the pictures we've had from police, the strong messages from mr rajoy and the king the temperature will be a good thing. back to the times, inmates get locked up to sell drugs. this is an extraordinary story and obviously there's a lot of reports going around about the state of british prisons, suffering from overcrowding and problems of people getting caught up in isis indoctrination and all that sort of thing. this is about prisoners causing minor breaches of their terms of release to bring drugs back in. you are released, you do something minor and you come back in for two weeks and we you you bring legal highs and other drugs. the howard league for penal reform are very concerned about this because it's creating a situation which is already very toxic in some prisons and making it worse by bringing these substances in. there will be some effort from the justice department to clamp down on this even though this is pretty systematic. the justice department said there would be more staff in prisons, whether that's taken off yet? there's a good case for that. partic

mr. johnson: thank you, congressman franks. and congressman smith. hartzler and king and all the others. all my colleagues who have spent so many years working for the sanctity of every human life in this chamber. i've for nearly 20 years been working to depenled the sanctity of every human life in the courts. that brings us to here today. we've talked about this many times. it's our nation's birth certificate, the declaration of independence, which states so succinctly what has been known as the american crede. that's articulated in the second paragraph of the declaration. we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. they're endowed about -- endowed by their creator with the life of -- with life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. the reason the founders recognized the right to life first is because it is so essential to who we are as human beings. and the reason the founders recognized that and sought to put it first is because they understood, they acknowledged that we are made in the image of a holy god. we're made in the image of that c

mr. peter king from new york, and we have four, five republican co-authors on that ill. have we had a hearing? no. have we had a vote? no. all we're trying to do with that bill is expand background checks. to make sure that criminals and the dangerously mentally ill can't buy have we had a firearms easily. make it more difficult for these folks who we know commit crimes with these guns, make it more difficult for them to get their hands on a gun. it's within the confines of the second amendment. just expands the already existing background checks to include commercial sale of firearms across the country. no hearings, no votes. instead, our friends on the other side of the aisle have their own gun agenda. they want to legalize silencers. they want to remove the restrictions on silencers. police entities and officers and chiefs and sheriffs across the country have told us that this is dangerous. it puts the people that we risk.ent at but that's their gun agenda. if you don't like the ideas that we have brought forward, please bring something forward other than deregulating

mr. chairman. >> senator king. kaine.tor >> i apologize that i didn't hear your statements. this matters a lot to me, because virginia was subject to a horrible act of violence on august 12. white supremacists, largely from outside of our state, came to the university of virginia in charlottesville to perpetrate not just bigotry and hatred, but violence and murder. slogans like "blood and soil" and "jews will not replace us." horrible,ed other racist comments. one from southern ohio used a vehicle to kill a beautiful 32-year-old paralegal, injuring 19 others. two state troopers who were not supposed to be working that day, but needed to work that day to protect people, were killed when their helicopter crashed. them was my helicopter pilot every time i flew as governor of virginia. the other was a member of governor mcauliffe's security detail. they would not have been working ,hat day had white supremacists confederates, and neo-nazis not try to inflame violence in charlottesville. , many of theseh individuals have not condemned these actions, but even celebrated the death
