mr. morales' prior cooperation, maybe they should have. >> reporter: honest mistake or not, it's a big enoughery big news. >> the accused killer is getting a new trial. >> reporter: what happened for you when you heard that guandique was going to get a new trial? >> there was a part of me that says, well, maybe mr. condit's going to be asked to come back and talk a little bit more in-depth. >> reporter: susan's instincts are spot on. >> a major development in one of the biggest murder cases of the last two decades. the defense is pointing the finger at california congressman. >> reporter: guandique's attorneys allude to a defense straight from "fifty shades of grey." >> they wanted to develop information about other relationships he had that may have involved rough sex play. >> reporter: it looks like condit's sex life could be on trial. but wait. >> okay. >> reporter: out of nowhere, this woman is about to crash into the case. things will never be the same. a 15-year-old murder case is turned on its head because of you. did you ever expect that? >> no, absolutely not. >> reporter: she's relu

mr. president, that it's a moral imperative, but the pope was also a high school chemistry teacher, and he is clear that the planet is warming, the science is clear that human beings are the principal cause and that there is a moral responsibility for the principal polluter over the last 150 years to be the lagard, to be the leader and not the lagard, so, mr. president, please, listen to the pope. listen to the scientists. listen to your national security adviser. please stay in the agreement. >> let me have you address some of the criticisms that your republican colleagues who are opponents of the climate accord argue. some say that staying in the pact will make it easier for environmental groups to sue u.s. energy companies. that will hurt american companies and hurt jobs right here in the u.s. how would you respond to that? >> well, i would say that right now there are 70,000 coal miners left in the united states of america. in massachusetts, we now have 100,000 people working in the clean energy sector. we're 2% of america's population. massachusetts has 100,000 clean energy workers. t

this isn't just our legal obligation, i think it's our collective moral duty as well. mr. chairman, i deeply appreciate the chance to go first and i hope i have a chance to come back and be with all of you later this morning. >> thank you so much. the democrats have evoked the two hour rule. this hearing will go to 11:30 this morning which is two hour after the senate gavelled so we'll be adjourning at 11:30. we consider feedback from state officials on the need to modernize the endangers species act. it was enacted in 1973 to conserve species identified as endangered or threatened with extinction, and to conserve the ecosystems upon which they depend. state government, particularly their state fish and wild life agencies play a central role in fulfilling the act's mission. some have tried to argue that the federal government, not the states, is the only entity capable of saving endangered species. and that the states should take a back seat on wildlife conservation for species at risk of extinction. endangered species don't care whether the federal or state government pro

this just isn't our legal obligation, i think it's our collective moral duty, as well. mr. chairman, i deeply appreciate the chance to go first and i hope i have a chance to come back and be involved a little later this morning. >> this hearing will only go until about 11:30 this morning until about two hours after the senate. we'll be adjourning at 11:30. >> the environment publics works committee on the need to modernize the endangered species act. it was enacted in 1973 and to conserve the ecosystems state governments, particularly their state fish and wild life agencies play a role in fulfilling the endangered species act mission. some have tried to argue that the federal government, not the states is the only entity capable of saving endangered species, the state should take a backseat on wild life conservation for species at risk. . they just want to be protected. combined our nations agencies are wild life conservation machine. -- state fish and wild life agencies have enhanced their staff, expertise, their science, capability, the relationships with private landowne

mr. president, trumpcare fails senator humphrey's moral test.t doesn't cover more people or more services or provide health care or improve health care. it raises costs and reduces quality. compared to the a.c.a. or obamacare, trumpcare would be a disaster for families in my home state. in new mexico, tens of thousands of people have health care, thanks to obamacare and the medicaid expansion. before the affordable care act, new mexico had one of the highest rates of uninsured in the country. it was almost 20% at 19.6%. that rate has been cut in half at 8.9%. approximately 300,000 more new mexicans now have health care, and each one of these 300,000 people has a story about having -- how having health care has made a difference, even saved lives. thanks to the affordable care act, hundreds of thousands of new mexicans now have essential health benefits, including doctor visits, hospital care, prescription drugs, pregnancy and childbirth and mental health services, and a range of preventative services like mammograms and other cancer screenings a

mrs. clinton would have been unacceptable for a moral person like i am, but i think that he turns out to be an interventionist and i am against all interventions. i'm for a free market, that's why i'm also so much against central banks. i think they've turned into central handlers. they're no longer watching money at the store of value, they've intervened. actually, if they were at a private bank or a public bank, they'd be all in jail as manipulators of markets. >> can we just go back to one point you made which is -- >> you go and see them. i don't know, on alcatraz. >> well, that's close, but if the market were to drop 20% as you mentioned -- >> yes. >> -- since 1970 the market's only fallen 20%. immediately preceding your session so you must feel there's going to be a recession in the united states. >> yes. yes. >> if you look at for example corporate earnings, s&p earnings up 14% in the first quarter. it looks like we're going to have a second quarter that's strong. the rate may be accelerating despite the fact that rates are slow. >> yes. >> i find it hard to believe that we're going

but it has also got a sort of moral purpose in a way because it is enclosed at the very beginning of the story. mrris is laying out the landscape and the wall is being built and it is in a way a prison. yes. there is a moment in the book when mr norris, the landscape designer, is talking to his friend the architect and they ask each other, "is this a paradise we are making here or is it a prison?" and i wrote that rather sort of off—the—cuff as you do in a long book, it's just one line. it's the theme of the book. afterwards i thought, yes, that is what it's about. it's about inclusion and of course it's about all sorts of other things like falling in love and having children and dying and doing all the things that humans do, but in so far as there is a theme that can be summed up in the sentence it is a book about walls and what happens when you try to wall yourself in and you may make a garden or you may find yourself trapped inside. it's also a story about how we are doomed to repeat the awful experiences of humanity again and again down the centuries. absolutely, yes. i mean, there was a momen

mr. mccabe, it is the morale of the agency in the fbi and the morale started back from july 5, july 7, october 28, november 6 and election day. did you ever all think you'd be embroiled in an election process such as this and what did it do to the morale? dir. mccabe: i do not know that anyone envision exactly the way these things would develop. as i said earlier, senator, we are a large organization. we have a lot of diversity of opinions and viewpoints on hings. we are also a fiercely independent group. mr. manchin: before july 5 before the first testimony that director comey got involved in, prior to that, did you see a change in the morale? yes or no. yes, change, or more anxious, more concern? dir. mccabe: i think morale has always been good. there were folks within our agency who are frustrated with the outcome of the hillary clinton case and some of those folks were vocal about that concern. mr. manchin: i'm sure we'll have more questions in closed hearing. we talked about this. the lab. k.l. lab. has it risen to your level, being the head of our intelligence agencies and people that mo

moral courage? you are leaving this campus as the best prepared generation in the history of our country. [applause] mr. schultz: you each possess passion,eurial spirit, and commitment to create the future you deserve. however, don't stop there. try not to rely only on what you have learned in the classroom. ssummon your empathy, compassion, give more than you receive and i promise it will come back to you in ways you can't possibly imagine. each of you is here today because of someone else, a parent, a sibling, a teacher, a neighbor, a mentor, someone who had faith and confidence in you take my mother had in me and nurtured your dreams. as you leave here today, take a moment to think of those that have come before you, who helped you along the way, who are at your site today. , embrace themre and thank them for the gift of education, support, and love they have given you. your generation can bring people together like no other. you can innovate, create, and lead. your generation will transform our economy and create millions of jobs. you will develop cleaner energy. you will make it so racism only exi

law, to help others at all times to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. so yes, mr. speaker, occasionally the words are a little rusty but the principles are as alive to me to me too as almost a half a century ago and followed that career all the way up to eagle scout, something that i'm so, so very proud of today. and so, mr. speaker, i hope who is watching the proceedings at this time will again understand how valuable scouting is to all of us. it is not just important to my own personal life, it is important to the life of a great nation. our first president, the father of our country said you cannot have a free society which is not a moral society. scouting helps makes certain we have a moral society. and so i think of the fun, i think of the friendships, i think of the lessons, but most importantly, i think about that moral compass for the map of life that has guided me and with scouting to come in the future, will guide the life of this great nation. i so thank the gentleman from dallas for his leadership. i thank him for his friendship. and i thank him for al

moral purpose in a way. it is enclosed at the very beginning, mr norris is laying out the landscape, the wall is being built.ook where mr norris the landscape designer is talking to his friend the architect, and they ask each other, is this a paradise we are making or a prison? i wrote that off—the—cuff, as you do, just one line. it is the theme of the book. afterwards i thought that is what it is about. it is about enclosure, and other things like falling in love and having children and dying and doing the things humans do. in so far as there is a theme that can be summed up in a sentence, it is a book about walls, and what happens when you try to wall yourself in and you may make a garden or you may find yourself trapped inside. it is also a story about how you are doomed to repeat the awful expenses of humanity again and again down the centuries. absolutely. there was a moment when i was writing the first draft of the last section of the book in which people are walking out of london, this is in 1665, to escape from the plague, and the roads out of london are crammed with refugees, migrants. asi are cramm

mr. mccabe, it is the morale of the agency in the fbi and the morale started back from july 5, july 7, and election day, did you all ever think you would be involved in an election process such as this and what did it do to morale? dir. mccabe: i do not know that anyone envision exactly the way these things would develop. as i said earlier, senator, we are a large organization. we have a lot of diversity of opinions and viewpoints on things. we are also a their slick independent group. senator: before -- and we are an independent group. are two prior to it comey got involved in, did you see a change in a row? more anxious, more concerned? dir. mccabe: i think morale has always been good. there were folks within our agency who are frustrated with the outcome of the hillary clinton case and some of those folks were vocal about that concern. senator: i'm sure we will have more questions in the closed hearing. lab.lked about this kl hasn't risen to your level being the head of our intelligence agencies and people most concerned about the security of our country of having a russian connection a

. >> the fbi, the folks here say the morale has been really hurt by this. including mr. comey who was in the room when he found out about this. of course, yesterday he's in los angeles, he's speaking to a group of employees, the. his staff then comes over and tells him about it. that's been pretty dememorial. >> one person said it was kind of like a wake. >> and. very visibly and directly take some pipd out of the democratic efforts overnight. >> yeah, that's the question here, is how much traction will the democrats get in terms of getting an independent commissioner, getting a special prosecutor. it really seems like something new is going to have to come out about mr. trump or about his associates that really changes the narrative here. it doesn't seem like there's enough public pressure, even at this point, to get republicans to go along with that. . i don't think his ouster will change because of mine. from the white house briefing that the president started losing confidence in her in day one. >> i think. ma many people saw what he did in july and how he broke prot

i hope you have that moral clarity as the number two person at the state department. mr. sullivan: thank you, senator. sen. corker: on that note, we had some issues, and we have had continuing discussions on the tiff report. i think most of us felt like political interference occurred on the tpp. i am pretty certain that occurred. since that time, we have had a much different relationship with the state department under two administrations. i just wish and hope you will affirm the fact that you will do everything in your power to assure us that the tpp report will be done with the a -- with the utmost clarity. mr. sullivan: i well. i know secretary tillerson feels that way as well. sen. corker: senator young. sen. young: i enjoyed our visit together and our office, mr. sullivan. thank you, again, in your interest in serving. there is a matter that has common to my attention since that meeting. april 21 of this year, the ethiopian government issued an order to suspend indefinitely international adoptions from their country. according to our state department, this has left

mr. engel, we have taken significant steps to raise both the moral and the foreign policy issues that need to be raised. the efforts are bipartisan and reflects hard work on the part of the ranking member and the chairman as well as members of the foreign affairs committee. i thank them for their efforts, and i urge my colleagues to join in strong and hopefully unanimous support of this important resolution and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. royce: i yield four minutes to the gentlelady from florida, ms. ros-lehtinen, who chairs the foreign affairs subcommittee on the middle east and north africa. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from florida is recognized for four minutes. ms. ros-lehtinen: thank you so much, mr. speaker, and i thank chairman royce, again, for yielding the time and, mr. speaker, i stand in strong support of ranking member eliot engel's caesar syrian civilian protection act, h.r. 1677, of which i am proud to be an original co-sponsor an

moral activities. >> avoiding taxes? mr. brennan: avoiding any number of problems for them and they have become very adept over the years that money laundering. >> are you familiar with which reticular country or countries are involved with money laundering? mr. brennan: i am aware of some but i would defer to the agency to identify them. they use banking institutions in a number of countries. a lot of times what they are doing is unbeknownst to the governments. so, there are a number of financial centers around the world that the russians have become quite active in. >> i agree the home country may not be aware and probably is not aware of all that is taking place but you would certainly be aware and concerned if there were u.s. persons involved with those institutions, correct? mr. brennan: anything we might uncover we would make sure the bureau and treasury and others were aware. they are the ones that need to follow up on whether or not there is criminal activity. >> and were you concerned with cyprus and financial insti

mr. comey. his lawyers provided him the legal justification, sidifying his decision. kevin: how's the moralewest wing of the white house? roger: in all truth, i don't speak to folks in the west wing within an exception with one person. kevin: are the reports of confusion and disgruntled people accurate? roger: i thought there was danger in hiring people for the white house staff that is not supported donald trump president, didn't vote for him in some cases, and don't share his policy views on immigration or trade, or tax relief. an establishment republican and you can't complain when there is backbiting. the white house staff is just like the presidential campaign. everybody wants to pull in the same direction with one leader. several examples and none of the men will -- would have put up with what has happened in the white house that. kevin: you have a new documentary on that place coming out. why continue to go through this and open yourself up to all this? roger: i think i'm pretty well known at this point, are you suggesting that i retire? i'm not the one who said gets me roger stone, a

this was a terrible, terrible blow both to the morale of the fbi and also to the credibility of the white house. mrump, like it or not, is involved, is the subject of, he's involved in the russian investigation; that is he's not personally being investigated at the moment, his aides are being investigated for whatever role they may have played in russia's interference in our election. that is about the most serious charge i can imagine. for mr. trump to fire jim comey at this moment, right after subpoenas had gone out, and to do it in a way that he did so humiliating a man who has served well or badly or what we can argue about is unbecoming, and raises all kinds of questions about what mr. trump was trying to do? was he trying to stop the investigation? which, by the way won't work, because that investigation will continue. it is continuing, there are about ten of them and three of them run by the fbi. >> the most important one is the fbi. liz: that will continue. do you think the president should have fired james comey at beginning of the year? january 20 as he sat down? >> if he was going to, th

mr. comey was bad for the morale and the confidence that the public ought to have and the fbi and they needost democrats in the senate approved him. what do you make then of democrats now being against this? is it just political? is it anything donald trump does they hate? >> i think it gave them a chance to get back to something that they argued a month ago and it was losing steam to have a special prosecutor or having a commission look into it. but there's committees of congress, including my own committee, investigating this. and it gives them an opportunity to bring those issues up again. steve: sure. >> they really don't have a lot of credibility based on what they said last october when comey reopened the presidential inquiry about the emails. so, consequently, i don't think they have much credibility. steve: senator, we are showing some video of you asking mr. comey some questions at your senate hearing last week. one point you got so frustrated you said egadd you didn't like what he was saying. and he was not asking your questions. i understand as well that the president of the unit

mr. comey should go on january 20th. not because of anything that i think he didrong but just because of the morale of the agency and whatcome too controversial. lou: and not that he didn't do anything. >> well, that's right. and the evidence that they lay out is factual. but what's very important here is to not let this become a big distraction. this president has a big agenda ahead of himself, and he has a basically get on with health care and the senate, and you have to get the tax bill and obviously he has to point a good, top person. and what he should do is point the person -- >> okay. who is it? >> i don't know who it is. lou: do you know who i like? admiral rodgers over at nsa talking straight to the senate when all the other heads of agencies and ic were, you know, he's talking straight. i just find him highly, you know, highly attracted to run any part of the federal government. >> well, the critical thing is you need a strong leader who is going to get on the agenda, which is the justice and the fbi's agenda and the president's agenda. and, again, i think it's very important not to get distracted by this and n

nation like ours, it reaffirms our moral obligation and our unique responsibility to speak for those who find themselves under the shadow of oppression and tyranny. mr. speaker, i am against any action that undermine the human rights of any person. in the coming days i will introduce a resolution that condemns these reports of violence and persecution in chechnya, and it calls on its officials to immediately stop the abduction, the detention, and the torture of individuals based on their sexual orientation. it is just unbelievable. it urges further our u.s. leadership to continue to condemn chechnya's ongoing human rights violations and demand the release of individuals wrongfully detained. we remain steadfast in our commitment to protect and promote the human rights and dignity of all people. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. ms. ros-lehtinen: it is my hope my colleagues would join me in this worthy endeavor. thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from california, mr. costa, for five minutes. mr. costa: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. -- address the

mr. director. first say to to you that never before really have i seen such a cruel and morally bankrupt budget. it dismantles our nation's basic living standards, which americans have turned to for decades. this budget, and you know this, it will push millions of people into poverty, and over the edge. this budget destroys people's lives. this budget -- what you are doing is you're asking people to fend for themselves and you're really leaving them out in the cold. and our moral obligation is to make sure that every american has a decent standard of living. this budget is a broken promise , and it is really a betrayal to every american in favor of tax millionaires, billionaires, and corporations. i would like to ask you, how are people going to eat when they need a temporary helping hand with a cut of $190 million in food assistance then add the , onerous work requirements and cut $1.3 billion in workforce training programs so people cannot be trained or for jobs? which i don't see much in terms of investment in job creation in this budget either. how are people going to get health insurance wi

mr. collingwood: senator kennedy is there anything you want to , add to that? senator kennedy: well, i expect i disagree somewhat with the governor. i don't think that we're automatically correct or automatically right and morality is on our side or god is automatically on our side because we're involved in a war. i don't think that the mere fact that the united states is involved in the use of force with an adversary makes everything that the united states then does absolutely correct. so i--the idea that we're involved in this kind of a struggle, if there are those within the united states that feel that the struggle could be ended more rapidly with less loss of life, that the terror and the destruction would be less if we took a different course, then i think that they should make their views known. i don't think they're less patriotic because they feel that. in fact, i think that they would be less patriotic if they didn't state their views and give their ideas, just because the united states is involved in this kind of a conflict as we are at the present time. not to state any opposition, or say that we can't state an opposition because of the--the fact that we're involved in a struggle i think is an error.
