mr. miller. mr. miller: no, i had all the authority i needed from the president to fulfill my constitutional duty. rep. maloney: did you speak with president trump at all as the attack was unfolding? mr. miller: on january 6? rep. maloney: yep. mr. miller: no, i did not. i did not need to. i knew it had to happen. rep. maloney: did you speak with vice president pence during the attack? mr. miller: yes. rep. maloney: according to a defense department timeline, it was the vice president and not president trump who called during the speech -- siege to say the capitol was not secure and to give you the direction to clear the capitol. what specifically did vice president pence say to you that day? mr. miller: the vice president did not direct me to the capitol. he is not in the chain of command. i discussed the situation. he provided insights and i notified him or warned him that by that point, the district of columbia national guard was fully mobilized and incoordination local and federal law enforcement

mr. miller. again, thank you to all the panelists. i feel like this subject is, well, you all have been studying it -- is, as i said, a new day on supply chain analysis and impact as far as what we should be doing. and you all gave us some good ideas on that. some differences. um, dr. lewis, you were unabashed. industrial policy let's go. more analysis. doctor. and very direct things in the last two witnesses about what commerce should be doing, specifically. so, i want to pose my question. i think, to you, and mr. taylor. and then, just see whoever else wants to jump in. but this notion that we try to get at with usica, somewhat about the supply chain. but really, just about innovation. so if -- you're right, which i think you are right that the -- that the -- that the critical -- if there is 2 million people working in the united states in aerospace or the sector of semiconductors, and yet the innovation is happening at mr. taylor's level. or mr. taylor is seeing the world and knowing what need

mr. miller. part of this bill, work done with senator wicker, coons and portman create policy and it prioritizes agency coordination. we know we have a lot of agency worksing on manufacturing. can you speak to the importance of interagency when it comes to the supply chain? >> absolutely. thank you for the question. the importance of industry -- of interagency coordination really can't be over emphasized in this case. there's a couple of different reasons for that. number one, there really are quite a number of ongoing supply chain related activities across the federal government. i think even though i focus on the ict supply chain, it's clear and become even more clear that the goal of pandemic that global supply chains are really important to all u.s. industries. it's a situation if we're going to have a coordinated strategy, we need to be in sync to really make sure that we have every one pointed in the right direction. that's why the program you reference is important to really prioritize tha

mr. miller, you have seven minutes. >> hello. i didn't get a chance to answer or affirm -- >> clerk: okay. do you answer that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth and nothing but the truth? >> yes. >> clerk: okay. you may continue. >> this is difficult for me because i'm an old guy, but i will just start out by saying that i really hope that you will deny this permit because -- well, the first reason would be that there are two standing notice of violations on the building. one from january 2020 and the first week of august 2020. these have not been resolved, and they're not just code violations or building violations, you'll see they're legal issues. one is criminal, and the other six are civil violations, and those haven't been resolved, and it's been a year. the substance of the n.o.v. from july involves a release of hazardous materials in the garage and backyard, okay? so it's unpermitted demolition by the contractor here without notice and without permit and without a c-22 license and possibly without an e.p

mrs. miller: speaker pelosi reinstated the mask mandate. she's threatening to arrest staff who refused to be obedient. the democrats are using fear and mandates to continue the crisis mode, but the real crisis has yet to hit. depression, alcohol, and drug abuse, suicide, supply chain issues, halted production, economic collapse, and worse, the damage to our children's hearts and minds from being out of their school and activity. for the speaker of the house, these mandates are all about politics and not science. that's why when she thought no one was watching, she went to a closed hair salon to get her hair done without wearing a mask. she got caught and then blamed the hair salon owner. the rules only apply to we the people. they never apply to those in power. americans are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. the democrats in this house and the rest of the federal government do not know better than you. and they never have. since when did the federal government become your doctor? thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tem

mr. miller: engineered. i have been involved in many scientific discoveries and i have never seen such compelling evidence. rep. jordan: dr. asher? dr. asher: as we move towards declassification of information, it needs to be seen is protecting the source, it is how much intelligent there is of coming it -- intelligence there is a it coming out of nature. i will be interested in that answer. if we had known that it was from the lab, and as dr. miller points out, engineered, that would've helped us save lives. >> i do believe that. two answers, whether it was engineered or not, if we had known early and there was not a cover-up we could have saved lives. if we knew it was lab derived, i am just hearing about one thing right here. that is such a key issue that if you get fever and get sick because of that response and it was deliberately engineered to block that, not only does that become more infectious but it means you will be asymptomatic which would be a major important finding for us to know early if that

mr. william and i'm sorry, healer and john miller offer a variety of perspectives on the importance of this issue. i can say for me in the state of washington aviation supply chain is something we are proud of. people continue to innovate and create new products that that's where the innovation is happening in the supply chain. that's why we just recently passed the now called u.s. innovation competitiveness act that we are trying to negotiate with our colleagues because we believe in making an increase in investment and supply chain so i'm sure we will hear today also about the challenges we face in the semi conductor sector, an aspect of our supply chain which we saw great shifts over the last several decades and the consequence is obviously less jobs in the united states of america. needless to say, the supply chain is key to our economic strategy and a robust supply chain means we are going to continue to have robust employment in the united states of america. lywithout the resiliency, it cod be complicated as to the experience of covid, whether products can be delivered in a timely fas

mr. miller in pisa merits berg that court hearing is taking place for me. when are we going to find out if j consumer will indeed go to jail? well, the expectation is that the court, the high coach and peter marriage book should war ideally, in theory, should have a judgement today because wednesday is the deadline by which police have an order from the constitutional court to a with the former president. and that's after, as you say, he didn't hand himself over by sunday. and so what he's trying to do is call to at least his lawyer is to get an interdict to stop. that's a risk. and we've just heard from his lawyer trying to explain to the judge presiding over this case, why they're there, they're seeking this interdict. he's also outlined that the former president is 79 years old. he's not a flight risk. and that the, there are various parties who are not opposed to this application, but we also know the constitutional court has said that they could potentially be an issue of a to restriction. and this is what the judge in the case has also reiterated just

mr. miller has more from the former president hometown of candler, just days before the deadline to hand himself over to police. former president jacob zoom. i has put forward to applications to 2 different quotes in south africa to try and prevent an arrest. that's after the constitutional court issued a judgement that had said that the former president has, it was in contempt of court for not appearing at a state inquiry into corruption. they been sentenced to 15 months in jail because of that resistance. now the former president is saying that the penalty by the constitutional court is to pause. and this is despite the court in previous month, asking the former president to submit an affidavit to explain why he didn't attend the commission of inquiry into corruption. and also said that he had the opportunity to which was somewhat unprecedented, say what the penalty should be. the former president didn't do any of those things . he didn't submit an affidavit, he did not appear before the constitutional court. and he was been sentenced to 15 months in, in prison, for contempt of court.

mrs. miller-meeks: our nation is in crisis. right now over half of iowa is experiencing a moderate to extreme drought. this dire situation is mirrored around the country with thousands of counties across the west experiencing historic drought conditions. this situation has widespread impact on our way of life. for my constituents, it mean ours farmers and ranchers must fight even harder to make ends meet after this pandemic. as drought conditions worsen, so does the cost of irrigation. less water means less yield. less in their pockets at the end of the day. and less in the ground for the next year. for our fellow americans out west, not only does this drought harm farmers and ranchers, but the real threat of wildfires is made dramatically worse by the lack of moisture. madam speaker, this is shameful and avoidable. the government cannot make it rain. but it can and should plan for the future. republicans have consistently advocated for increased water storage and regulatory streamlining which would help conserve water for the

mr. miller testified an oversight that president trump authorize national guard troops, as many as they needed, to secure the capital of washington, d.c. the day before, there was a rally up on capitol hill. president trump called director miller and told him, there's going to be a lot of people out there, do you have everything you need with the national guard? i don't know about you, but if you are fomenting an insurrection, why do you make sure there's more law enforcement capacity who is in the nation's capital on the day in question? the reason is because she can't let it go. this is the only thing they have left. spew on this entire committee seem strange, given pelosi claims to already know the root causes and what was behind the riot on january 6. listen. >> all of these institutions talking about... well, hit even go there, but it's what they've said in terms of white supremacy, anti-semitism, islamophobia, all of these attitudes that have contributed to what happened on january 6. >> raymond: congressman, do you believe that those people -- where they all driven by islamophobia, whit

mr. john miller, all offer a variety of perspectives on the importance of this issue. i can say for me in the state of washington, aviation supply chain is something we're very proud of. more than 150,000 people work in that supply chain that continue to innovate and create new products that, as mr. aboulafia says in his testimony, that's where the innovation is happening in the supply chain. that is why we just recently passed the now called u.s. innovation and competitiveness act, usica, that we are trying to negotiate with our house colleagues, because we believe in making an increased investment in the supply chain. so i'm sure we're going to hear today about the challenges we face in the semiconductor sector, an aspect of our supply chain, which we saw great shifts over the last several decades, and the consequence is obviously less jobs in the united states of america. so needless to say, i think congress has caught on that the supply chain is key to our economic strategy, and that a robust supply chain in the united states of america means we're going to continu

mr. carter: i rise today to remember and honor coach jack miller who passed away on june 23 at the age of 91. jack dedicated his life to mentoring young athletes. jack's head coaching career started at a high school in 1961 and would span 53 years. he recorded over 700 wins during his career. he was defined by his work ethic and as a lifetime coach, jack earned numerous and nike coach of the year and the john f. hodges for his outstanding achievement. the only thing he loved more than coaching was his loving family and friends. his impact on his players went beyond his athletic fields. my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends and those who knew him during this difficult time. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas seek recognition? >> i request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. jackson lee: most of the colleagues of this house know that i have introduce

mr. president, thank you. we have talked to your own top general in afghanistan, general scott miller. he told abc news the considers are so concerning at this point it could result in a civil war. so if kabul falls to the taliban, what will the united states do about it? >> look, you've said two things. one, that if it could result in a civil war. that's different than the taliban succeeding. number one. number two, the question of what will be done is going to be implicated -- is going to implicate the entire region as well. there's a number of countries that have a grave concern about what is going to happen in afghanistan relative to their security. the question is how much of a threat to the united states of america and to our allies is whatever results in terms of a government or an agreement. that's when that judgment will be made. >> reporter: mr. president, some -- some vietnamese veterans see echos of their experience in this withdrawal in afghanistan. do you see any parallels between this withdrawal and what happened in vietnam with some people feeling betrayed? >> none what

mr. salesses: that is exactly what happened. we had a new secretary, too. secretary miller had come in. he wanted to make his level. sen. hawley: i think that is very helpful, clarifying testimony, something that this committee and committees and congress is going to have to grapple with as we go forward, that there was a political reaction to events from over the summer and that political reaction resulted in restraints being put on guard deployment that ultimately ended up being dangerous on the day here, on january 6. ms. sanborn, can i follow up on something that senator paul was asking about? i had a chance to talk with director wray yesterday in the judiciary committee in the hearing, and one of the things i asked him about were reports of private companies who conducted broad searches of their customer bases, according to reports, and turned over this information voluntarily. he said he didn't know one way or the other. i heard you give a similar response to senator paul and you said you would follow up with him. can i ask you to do the same with me? ms. sanborn: absolutely. sen.
