mr. miller's agenda.onsider the courts blocked the early division on the travel ban, ordering trump's dhs to unite those families and stopping the dreamer program. just this week the judges who enraged trump by demanding that he keep asylum seekers in mexico. those legal facts are worth keeping in mind as a check on mr. miller's rhetoric. when he proclaims the president's powers cannot be questioned, he is not only giving a failing answer on a citizenship test. he is playing himself. drawing attention to the very lack of power that both he and donald trump have exposed in their overreach. >> our opponents, the media, and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further action, the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned. >> indeed. they're not only questioned by the courts, as i showed. the other lesson for mr. miller is they're questioned by a co-equal branch of government including donald trump's own republican allies in congress who say mr

mr. miller in their testimony? something that doug and i have discussed before, to hear from mr. miller is going to be a complex issue as well. because there is going to be legal issues of how to get his testimony. but i would want to hear how he reached this conclusion and although his report is thorough the did he do truly determine that the only reason he wasn't charging was because it was congress' authority to get involved or did he think there was not enough evidence to move forward with the obstruction charge. in the grand scheme of things, the more important issue is whether or not it makes sense for the good of the country to really continue to get this down in this issue. this is something we can choose to talk about for the next year end a half or we can start to move forward and focus on the future. i think that is what we need to do rather than continue to play the broken record over and over again of something of this point has been thoroughly investigated of somebody trustworthy. arthel: most america

mrs. miller: mr. speaker, i would like you to know that i have no further speakers, and i am prepared to close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. mrs. miller: i urge my colleagues to support this bill, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. connolly: thank you, mr. speaker. i just want to say on a personal note, louise slaughter was an extraordinary member of this body. she had a marvelous sense of humor. she was an encyclopedia about the procedures of the rules committee, which often mystified many of us. her heart was in the cause every day. the last few years she was here were tough. very st her beloved bob suddenly, and she struggled with a lot of health issues in the last year of her life. none of it left her daunted. she faced every day with an spirit and will and commitment to her values and fighting for her constituents and for those values. this is the least we can do t

mr. miller to testify, testify. the burden will be on those who will not let go of this big lie to prove that the why they are continuing in a different form. we had the mueller investigation. every time i was asked will he fire rosenstein, will he fire mueller, will he shutdown the special counsel investigation. nothing happened. if you read the report, total compliance and exoneration. >> where is the president's point by point rebuttal that rudy giuliani said was going -- coming out? kellyanne: his greatest rebuttal will be that he will remain in office and get reelected, because the democrats have nothing. they banked everything on this. ony have 18 people running -- running for president and not a message that does not involve trump. there are people who share committees and ranking members who have promised collusion and said that they have proof. it is because they are on tv shows vomiting their own nonsense and talking points and not on their oath does not mean that they should say full exoneration. produce

mr. miller goes to washington. here are the stories i told to them.le jim met me at union station as i got off my train. when i told them that my civics class wanted me to make a report, he walked my legs off, showing me how the federal government works. we started out right at the plaza in front of the station. the first thing he showed me from the station was capitol hill, the seat of our federal government. federal agencies are scattered all over the united states, but washington is the center of all national government activity. uncle jim felt we better start with the library of congress. it is the biggest and most important library in america, set up originally for senators and representatives, but open to all of the people. here are most of the important documents and records of the government, and copies of most newspapers and magazines published in the united states. but the one thing we wanted to see was in a glass case near the front of the building, the foundation of all of the powers and laws of our government. we couldn't have our form of

you know from i think we will the democrats the house judiciary committee have issued a letter to mr miller asking him to testify by the twenty third of may the attorney general bill barr has said he's not against that he's a friend over a bit and i think the question is what a more we will learn i think robot want to feel that he's done a thorough job as much as he could and you know today he's back at work he's handed in his opus and he's back at work at the just justice department humphry washington think. it's northern ireland where a twenty nine year old woman was killed by gunfire during the riots overnight in the city of london derry police have identified her as a journalist a lot of mickey a death is being treated as terrorism and the militant republican group calling itself the new right now the main suspects the violence erupted last nights after police to have seen the area. she was described as a rising star leroy mckee was an acclaimed journalist known for her coverage of the troubles in northern ireland the twenty nine year old was gunned down on thursday night while reportin

mrs. miller. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. mrs. miller: i'm rising to speak against h.r. 1585. domestic violence is a major problem in our communities and throughout our country. i'm in complete support of providing all the resources needed to the victims of abuse and for the law enforcement that protects these vulnerable women. what could have been an opportunity to work together as a unified house of representatives to and provide a great bill that we can all be proud of, our colleagues across the aisle dismissed our input in the legislative process, silenced our voices, and put forth a bill which strikes the unique balance of overreaching where it is unnecessary and underperforming where resources are needed the most. i don't dispute that my democrat colleagues are well intentioned with their legislation, but they missed the mark. in this bill they diluted important funds meant to help the victim, handcuffed our law enforcement, and reduced their effectiveness. additi

mrs. miller: i rise today to speak against h.r. 1585. i span before you as a woman, a life, a mother, and a grandmother. i represent a state where one in three women experience domestic violence. this is a scourge on our society and must stop. the violence against women act should have one clear goal, to protect women from domestic abuse. any solution put forward must provide law enforcement and the justice system with the tools to do this to the best of their ability and to keep this objective free from partisan manipulation, dilution of resources, or political games. unfortunately, this bill does not do that. -- my republican colleagues under the leadership of ranking member collins and mrs. lesko, who has been a recipient of domestic violence, have sought to come together with our friends across the aisle to find a bipartisan solution to help women to no avail. no is not the time to play politics. this is an issue where we can can can and should find common ground -- where we can and should find common ground, it is not a time to have

mr. miller said he should not be prosecuted for that is that people like don again, the white house counsel and others, the director of the national security agency stopped the president, ignored him, said they would resign instead of carrying out the president's directives. >> there was a lot of dirt that came out on the president. cannot rise, no matter if it is negative information, can arise to the level even though a crime was not committing, cannot rise to the level of bringing charges and moving forward with impeachment? >> absolutely because the standard for impeachment technically assess high crimes and misdemeanors, but what it amounts to if if the house of representatives majority thinks there is enough to -- whether the president is fit to stay in office, then they would have to decide whether or not he could be convicted. whether or not that happens is to be decided but the information, a lot of information, a real roadmap and for members of congress wanted to go down that road . >> the bottom line here is, what are we looking at? are we looking at an investigation in congress

mr. miller? guest: so i'm going to take a shot in the dark here and guess that you probably did not vote for president trump. i hope the president is able to earn your vote this next go round. when i was making the point about vice president biden and some of the behavioral things, the point that i was making was that he is the one candidate where president trump can turn that around and make that something -- host: even though the president was accused by 20 women and achael cohen said he paid off woman? guest: if that will be an issue for them or if they want to support the policies the president is behind, the president has denied these things. people have made their decision going through in their mind in 2016. in 2020, the strength of the economy, america's improved standing in the world, and when they see president trump take issues like trade, for example. trade is a proxy fight for fairness. people think there is a lack of fairness. several of the callers this morning brought this point u

could be a matter of even your hands are going to know that in the assessments that we've heard from mr miller and mr sidekick. they'd do last have we the discussion of the issue because they describe the dire situation that many ukrainians in certain areas have done is going. to find themselves they will just who are not in the control of key of the new. will was not high the lawyer were surprised by the initiative to lincoln vien the meeting today by the korean colleagues which was immediately supported by the german presidency and this is because we're going to be talking about things which are very unflattering for the ukraine if they miss their actions as a result of which four million citizens of their country ukraine. are basically outlawed today. and whose existence is being ignored by the western part of the world community this is something that one should do best shameful to keep quiet about instead of displaying in front of the. world but since you insist let's talk about this or even though this issue certainly does not present any kind of threat to international peace and securit

mr miller was trying to find. present and russia we didn't. come to most because as a businessman but it was not only somebody it had to give and occasionally it was simply. and it was just for political purposes and political strife in the united states of america. just given. this is what happened when we knew this would happen and i said it's told you and i would ask happened. while the journalist who was in charge of moderating the panel discussion didn't stop there of course he wanted to find out what's next now that the robert miller investigation is done and dusted and vax mr putin had quite a few things to say about something that he sees as a true political crisis within the u.s. he believes that in the near future there won't be an end to this he believes that something that's been happening to the west president donald trump is absolutely unprecedented and u.s. history according to the russian president yes usually there was a lot of wrangling a lot of political competition something that's very tough during the election but he beli

mr. miller and the people that owned the plant. they thought they were going to start the reactor up quickly, and did not want him to have an evacuation because of that. it is interesting because that , therema -- at fukushima was a similar discussion that if you introduce saltwater, we will not be able to start the reactor in a week. inis impossible for someone this orthodoxy to think outside of the box. by, i think the influence of corporations -- as time goes by, i think the influence of corporations and in japan, you are talking about in axes of $100 billion on the line. if you shut them down, can you really withstand the hit? the same thing in the states during tmi. runningre 50 reactor is and another 50 in the pipeline and that was close to a trillion dollars at risk. interestsial downplays it as well. in my own schedule? >> yes. [applause] mr. gunderson: thank you. >> 40 years ago on march 28, 1979, a partial meltdown at three mile island near harrisburg, pennsylvania was the worst nuclear power accident in u.s. history. 201

also important to know that one of the president's closest and most influential senior advisers, mr millerresident's son—in—law also waded. the knives we re son—in—law also waded. the knives were out and it was only a matter of time before she was on the way out. what do you think happened next? does donald trump double down on his border policy? we have seen the president moving in that way. recently the president withdrew his nominee to head the immigration customs force. in addition, the president is still looking for money for the all and seeking to move into a campaignfooting. for the all and seeking to move into a campaign footing. —— wall. he will have to nominate someone who can actually get through a contentious nomination battle and that is going to be very difficult especially considering you have a number of members in the us senate also looking for re—election effort so this issue of immigration and the border wall now becomes front and centre at the time when you have key candidates running. running for president who i think and speak clearly to this issue. now the president

the priest yeah but they won't see it would just try at that moment in time to one of our problems mr miller we have we actually have that part of the eulogy with the priest and the reaction and let me know when as my producer if we can show that is it possible to show that nail ok we're going to come back to what i was told about what we want to come back to what you mentioned there and we've got a quote from the priest today and i want to get your reaction to to that as well he says there is a rule in many of our communities that we do not we should not give information to police this week i have seen rules turned on their head i have seen many people stand up and condemn this culture of violence and coercive control now this is basically this pretty this is the priest talking about ratting on people for our viewers around the world tell me why is this such a big deal to the peace and to northern ireland. well i'll tell you why it's so significant in historically the police service and northern ireland which was known as the royal us the constabulary predominantly preeminently had been dra

from a photograph you saw cut with a ballet bit of course i had only that mr miller or mood or clear by half of his so called by. sure of the software. we did have metal. no that never stammered how can we know who then your thumb will show if you look just to go what bob dylan neighborhood to my post i'm proud of and i'm sorry for going right when i say hey let's tell a g. . well how you have a show in son and. does the family. up that will have a lot of fear or bad infelicitous again that i mean i have all the enough. we're going know the thing. i'm doomed from of the way are you tell us do it right here be. simple correct it best to get up out of my ideal woman moms of kids oh i have diverted most of them can i'm back a lot by is the thought of us a loss a lot to start dialing is the first to be so lot of a bend you know we still have to live in five women i let them out there we had a non dalla my job it was a tiny amount and what did i am. i mean if our michael. had been a good sour mike you. ne'eman mackie with the. mannequin that we are let me. just let me. go a few feet below

you know if i think we will the democrats the house judiciary committee have issued a letter to mr miller asking him to testify by the twenty third of may the attorney general bill bar has said he's not against that he's a friend over the i think the question is what a more we will learn i think what a feels that he's done a thorough job as much as he could and you know today he's back at work he's handed in his opus and he's back at work at the just justice department humphrey walking to thank. now to ukraine where they country's presidential candidates go head to head tonight in a national t.v. debate from the country's biggest football stadium it is the last big event ahead of sunday's runoff election between t.v. comedian vladimir's the landscape and incumbent president petro poroshenko poroshenko has been holding rallies in the capital here opinion polls show him trailing badly making tonight's debate his last chance to boost his chances a d.w.i. commonly sent this report. a sitting president rolling up his sleeves to give blood for drugs test live on t.v. not something most ukrainia

mr. miller and the people in parsippany that on the plant and they thought they would start the reactor up pretty quickly but didn't want him to have an evacuation because of that and it's interesting because at fukushima there was a similar discussion between the plant manager and the people in tokyo that come i got if you introduce saltwater we won't be able to start the reactor up in a week. so, it's impossible for someone who is in this orthodoxy to think outside the box. now, as time goes by i think the influence of corporations and, japan, there is 50 nuclear reactors in a couple billion apiece, you're talking about in excess of $100 billion on the line if you shut them down, can you really withstand the hit. the same thing in here in the states, there are 50 reactors running and another 50 in the pipeline and that was close to $1 trillion at risk, there is a financial interest that downplays as well. >> am i on schedule here? >> yes you are . >> thank you . >> thank you.

recognizing israel's control over the land heights there is a president things that you have with mr miller actually is a very cautious politician with the gut between what he says no two things these is massive if you look at this circle they're both an exception there were slick cases flew the other parties puts legislation in front of the knesset too and they expose of the west bank and he was against it so he's actually more careful about it but as you say the into the mission of conditions so different now in actually you might believe in what you say as though it's not necessarily is intention to begin with thank you very much from regent university and london yes and that's michael barrymore thank you. on out will than forty animals have been evacuated from a ramshackle zoo in the gaza strip and are being resettled in jordan and africa the animal welfare group four paws described their conditions as unimaginably dreadful the rough says it has been able to properly care for the animals because of a lack of funds it made headlines last month of the declawing a lion so customers could p

well if it's going to cross live to israel based journalist jill donna miller mr miller thank you for joining us on the program we appreciate it. assuming netanyahu does secure a fifth term was sort of policies can we expect from him. well his victory is really all but assured we can expect that he will likely not move very much when it comes to the peace process with the palestinians even though president trump just a short while ago said that he thinks peace has a better chance when the office we do know that the palestinians have been boycotting the trump administration they will they will respond to that that ultimate what the white house calls the ultimate to deal with rejection they've already declared it kind of dead on arrival so we can expect not to move. very much forward on that front i think one of the big questions today is whether. promise in just the days before this election to annex jewish settlements in the west bank we need to watch whether that was really just a ploy to get more votes from his right wing base in which case it seems he definitely succeeded or whethe

serrano just how it was he put together this four page summary and how he got input or didn't get it mr miller's team did not play a role in drafting that document although we offered him the opportunity to review it before we sent it out and he declined that i would work diligently to make as much information public as i could in available to congress's or could you recognize that i'm operating under regulation that. it was put together during the clinton administration and does not provide for the publication of the report but i am relying on my own discretion to make as much public as i can mr barr said that he is on track to make public a version of the report by the middle of april that's in the next week but he also said that he has to make certain that he is holding back or redacting information that either goes to criminal investigations or perhaps could reveal intelligence sources and methods one thing that he did not confirm is whether or not he would be looking at using executive privilege the president's right to keep communications private when it comes to releasing the report mr ba

a mary these astronomical tables calculated by the german astronomer and mathematician you have mr miller who was also known as your montana. his tables recorded the location of celestial bodies from fourteen seventy five to fifteen zero six. together with the jacob stuff they guided sailors on their journey this. creature montparnasse part of your montana has made people in europe aware of trigonometry but he published his own work taking advantage of the new invention of printing gutenberg's invention of the printing press walk through. trigonometry is still central to navigational calculations and to g.p.s. receivers around the world. for. trigonometry was the key to navigation and the search for new trade routes emboldened the explorers of the renaissance who sought new sources of wealth. people started pondering completely new questions what lies beyond the known world and how can we get there. europe's merchants realized that it was cheaper to bring large quantities of pepper cinnamon and silk to europe by the portuguese shipping routes then to transport them along the overland rout

mr. miller? >> i'm going to take a shot in the dark here and guess that you probably did not vote for president trump, though i hope the president is able to earn your vote this next go-round. look, when i was making the point about vice president biden and some of the behavioral things, the point that i was making was that he's the one candidate where i think president trump could turn that around and actually make that something -- >> even though the president has been accused by those 20 women and that michael cohen said, yes, he paid off this woman who he had an affair with? >> because president trump has gone through 2016 and the voters have made that decision. if that's going to be a vote-determinative position for them or if that's a vote they're going to go behind. the people have made their mind in 2016. ultimately what this will rest on in 2020 is the strength of the economy, america's improved standing in the world, and when they see president trump take an issue like trade, for exampl

mr. miller, do you accept those amendments? >> i do. >> you agree with them? >> thank you very much. >> that's great. make a motion to accept the amendments. we can take that without objection. and i make a motion to move items 1 and 2 to the full board as amended. with a positive recommendation. thank you very much. >> thank you, supervisors. >> madam clerk. read item 3. >> ordinance amending the administrative and business and tax regulations calls to confer upon certain non-profit organization first right to purchase consisting of both a right of first offer and a right of first refusal over all multi-family residential family building in the city. >> we amended it last week, they were substantive, and now a fiscal impact so now we have a b.l.a. report. hear from the b.l.a., please. >> on page 11 of the report, table 1, summarize the impact of the amendment in committee. amendment in the committee exempted property -- from the transfer tax, purchase the property over $5 million for the portion of the transfer tax, the incremental portion. page 11, we sort o

mr. miller, if the proposal suits the president then the call goes to the agency and it's up to the agency to resist. that's not how the institution is supposed to work. >> it's clear there is a crisis on the border and jeh johnson got a lot of political heat for having acknowledged that. >> this proposal has nothing to do with dressing the actual challenges at the boarderder. i think this is one of the worst abuses you can imagine. it's usiing government resource and law enforcement resources for political purpose with no government objective at stake. using them to retaliation against a political opponent of the president from the other party, a number of political opponents and doing it with actual human beings being pawns in this proposal. with no understanding or care of what would happen to these people, including children, if they are picked up and moved from one part of the country. where they may have no family members or networks. you have a white house that's unconstrained that usually govern presidential behavior and where one of the chief requirements for people in the agencie

mr. miller. >> hello. >> stephen: thank you, thank you for joining us. >> it is my pleasure stephen.u can see from the joy on my face. >> stephen: well, i can see why you'd be happy. the president just put you in charge of immigration. >> oh, yes, it's an honor. however, it is true what they say: it is lonely at the top-- much as it is lonely everywhere else. ( laughter ) >> stephen: so, is it true you've been calling people and yelling at them for not enacting your immigration policies? >> stephen, i am not yelling. i'm merely offering words of advice. oh, which reminds me: i advise you to stop the flow of invading illegals, or i will personally see you in hell! oh, and i'd also like to order some garlic knots. and how long is that delivery? yes, that is acceptable. my apologies, stephen. >> stephen: so... ( laughter ) did you tell ice officials that they shouldn't go to bed until they ended protections for migrant kids? >> yes, that is correct. they should not be sleeping. i know i don't. i lie awake in bed at night, worrying that we have made the world a safe place for children. >

mr. miller puts forward are not who we are as americans. so i think what weave to do is to say to the president, mr. president, we're a nation of laws. any time you try to make those laws out to be something than other than what they are, then you exactly have the chaos that we're having along the border now. >> so when we're reporting tonight that the president wants to expand the separating families at the border and in fact he wants to do that toallies that come in at legal ports of entry, families seeking asylum, do you think he has the right do to that, chairman >> well, absolutely. you know this family separation issue is what really brought all the conflict and chaos at the border to the forefront. the president has to follow the law. no one is above the law. the courts have determined that many of the policies he's trying to implement are absolutely illegal. the return to mexico policy, the muslim travel ban that he tried. a lot of things that we're involved in is simply because the president wants to have his way. but that's not --

mr. miller, and those are the heart-wrenching stories that we need to address. of course, land is a big issue, but if you look at what we did with the former freeway parcels in that corner of the city, those opportunities, i think, exist in every corner of the city. it is not just laguna honda, but in many places on the west side, on the east side, there are units that we can acquire and rehab and stabilize, as we have seen along pacific avenue, and there's a lot more work to be done, but you are absolutely right. it is not only about senior housing, it is about extremely low income seniors, and there is an absolute correlation, like we just heard from a woman who is living in her van, between what happens if we cannot have those people age in place as it relates to our homeless crisis. the numbers are there. the majority of homeless individuals in san francisco, by her own statistical account are people who were housed in san francisco, and the folks who are most vulnerable are low-income seniors. let's get to work on that bond. i hope something materializes th

mr. miller. and let me ask you just how vast is his portfolio right now? >> well, his portfolio is quite large. he really is the architect of the administration's immigration policy. and in an administration where there's often a lot of back biting he is someone who's managed to have huge staying power, he's operated under the radar, he has stayed in the good graces of ivanka trump and jared kushner. and, you know, no matter what happens, he never really becomes the face of the crisis. kerjsten nielsen, for instance, took all of the blame for separating children and parents when that policy was under way even though that was something stephen miller really advocated for. and he's someone that continues to play under the radar and had a huge role in this huge leadership shakeup at dhs. he is someone who's urging the president to do what he considers fulfilling the campaign promises that trump made in 2016, and he views part of that as this housecleaning at dhs. >> franco, let me go back to you because i note you spoke with an obama era enforcement lawyer, l

mrs. miller: i rise today to speak against h.r. 1585. i span before you as a woman, a life, a mother, and a grandmother. i represent a state where one in three women experience domestic violence. this is a scourge on our society and must stop. the violence against women act should have one clear goal, to protect women from domestic abuse. any solution put forward must provide law enforcement and the justice system with the tools to do this to the best of their ability and to keep this objective free from partisan manipulation, dilution of resources, or political games. unfortunately, this bill does not do that. -- my republican colleagues under the leadership of ranking member collins and mrs. lesko, who has been a recipient of domestic violence, have sought to come together with our friends across the aisle to find a bipartisan solution to help women to no avail. no is not the time to play politics. this is an issue where we can can can and should find common ground -- where we can and should find common ground, it is not a time to have

mr. miller, how are you feeling? i wonder how much he charged to stick his nose in the door and say how are you feeling? there is a pink elephant called the military. they cannot even audit what they do. when you fly over parts of arizona, new mexico, california, there are thousands of airplanes just sitting there. they have not been off the ground ever. we have congressman who insist on building army tanks that no one wants. that has to stop. en are mostly wealthy. flying away every weekend, $20,000 an hour to fly air force one. we can create money to give medicare for all. or to work your insurance companies to save money. when i was in the hospital, take this. don't worry. you are not paying for it. somebody is. people need to be aware. cepping back three allers, as to the gentleman that was concerned about closing our borders. i am from pennsylvania, mushroom capital of the world. mushroom factories are closing workers,here are no mostly mexicans. workers, mostly mexicans. host: thank you for that. bringing up th
