mrs. murphy: mr. speaker, yesterday the house approved an amendment i offered to the state foreign operations appropriations bill for fiscal year 2020 and i wanted to take this opportunity to explain the amendments. there is a humanitarian crisis in venezuela and it is man-made. in my view, the people of venezuela will not prosper as long as the regime of nicolas maduro remains in power. the regime has proven itself to be cruel, incompetent and anti-democratic. it is driving what was one of latin america's most vibrant nations into the ground. the united states cannot be passive. we must stand behind the proud venezuelan patriots who are struggling to reclaim their country from the regime that is destroying it. like last year's bill, this year's state foreign operations bill provides $17.5 million for usaid and state department programs to promote democracy and the rule of law in venezuela. this funding is drawn from the nearly $2.2 billion in economic support funds that the bill provides for countrie

mrs. murphy: thank you, madam chair. i yield myself such time as i may consume. i rise in support of my amendment which i'm proud to co-lead with 25 members of the future forum. a generational caucus that focuses on issues important to younger americans. my amendment would provide additional support for youth suicide prevention strategies in k-12 school, college, and universities. juvenile justice systems and foster care systems. my amendment would provide an additional $2 million for the garrett lee smith youth suicide prevention state and campus grant. suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth in america. in the past decade, approximately 22,000 americans ages 10 to 19 have died by suicide. this is staggering. and we must remember that behind every abstract statistic lies a shattered human life, a broken hearted family, and a distraught community. this issue hits close to home for families in my central florida district where in recent years we have mourned the loss of far too ma

mrs. murphy: thank you, mr. speaker. today marks three years since the terrible tragedy that took the lives of 49 people at the pulse nightclub in orlando. that's 36 months. 156 weeks. 1,095 days that the victims' familiar lease and loved ones had to live without their presence and without their light. this single incident shook our community to its core and forever changed us but our city showed we are a vibrant community that prides itself on love and inclusion. following the tragedy, hundreds came out to donate blood and help their fellow brothers and sisters in their time of need. the site was transformed into a makeshift memorial, one that was full of love, thoughtful notes, and flowers. this was the largest attack against lgbtq people in u.s. history. as we celebrate pride month, we must honor their memories, be inspired by their legacies and regular the positive contributions that lgbtq community offers to the world. while those memories may be raw and remembering those we lost may still hurt, we cannot forget tha

mr. murphy had on behalf of his constituents and we would be willing to do something along those lines as being about from your cabana we saw the approach took place it was very disgusting as far as parked in the confidence that people had for the votes been counted and also how the whole process went out. we will certainly be flexible on this if it's something we can work together. >> the gentleman yields back an. certainly all of his kingdom the crimes that were committed in north carolina. they did not relate to the california experience because there has been no fraud there. i would ask that we post this amendment. >> the gentle lady from california is recognized. >> if the chair would yell for l second period i tell from the body language of my colleagues that you don't believe that. as a chairwoman said, there is a group of attorneys there, i assure you from both sides theth best in the country, that are observing this process. if you have evidence of, that there was fraud in the process i'm sure -- the reality is, it is highly highly monitored and i don't believe even the colleague

mr. christopher murphy. >> thank you for your service.thank you for being here today and thank you, chairman. i want to focus on security clearances. an issue that comes before the oversight committee and i'm shuttling back and forth between the two committee. want to ask you, in order for any person working for the president to obtain access to the nation's most sensitive secrets, that person must undergo an fbi background investigation and obtain a security clearance. and one of thing the fbi investigates is the candidate' contact with foreign nationals and whether the relationships pose any risk that the candidate may be compromised by a foreign power. it has been widely report that jared kushner's security clearance was initially denied because of serious concerns about foreign influence, private business interests, and permanent conduct. there's -- personal conduct and also reporting that jared kushner did not record foreign contacts of the fs86 forms. what counterintelligence risks arise when an applicant is not fully forth coming o

mr. murphy who really wants to get in but you were the first investor. >> we led the seed ground for cargouart: what made you think it was a good investment? >> we saw that right healing was here to stay something we thought we continue to grow, not only in u.s. but globally in a way for drivers to make money in a way for drivers to be happy. remember, with uber they want their drivers to be happy so there on the road and working and driving and making more money. jeff devised a company in there so much more than the snacks there is the technology and the logistics but jeff had a company that would help you on the back of a neighbor and help the driver by making more money. thought it was brilliant. stuart: and he got in on the ground floor. one more quick thing, you are going to expand obviously and you have 30,000 many bars in the back of america so what's your target, how many? >> we loved to be in the next couple of years quarter of a million or more we just expanded to brazil huge market on their with over 280,000 drivers in rio and sÃo paulo alone and expansion coming over the summer

mr. murphy, should i back away from any stock holding that i have in the big techs?think you should. maybe you wouldn't go out and buy into this news just yet because obviously, you don't want a company that's fighting the government. but remember, google went through this a few years ago. the government came after them. there was a ruling 5-0 in google's favor that they were not violating any antitrust laws at that time. they are ready to fight, i think there's a lot more going on here, but both companies are still very profitable, still growing very well. i like them long-term. i own them both. stuart: the worst thing that can happen to you is the government comes after you. if they lay a charge on you, you will be defending yourself forever. >> you can either settle right away or do what microsoft did and fight europeans for four years and end up paying $2.5 billion. maybe there's a way around this. you can settle and change some of the way you do business. maybe. susan: $2.7 billion to the eu in 2017, they paid $1.7 billion again to the eu in 2018. it's peanuts,

mr. murphy. >> ms. murphy. >> thank you mr. investor, i believe our country has benefited from fair trade both as an economic and security matter, the trade chris many jobs in my home city florida. river, what seems to be never ending tariffs imposed by the trump administration are causing significant damage to our economy. despite the president's constant claim to the crying trick, it is you is companies and u.s. consumers that pay taxes on imports. the turf list is long. cheaper national security tariffs on steel and aluminum, the california tariffs and the threat of auto tariffs and then china and 25% tariffs on 20 50 billion chinese imports, chinese retaliations potential 25% tariffs on the remaining 3 million of the chinese imports. these products are mostly consumer goods toys computers, products where when their prices increase, it will really be noticed back at home. and kitchen tables in my district. the negotiators seem to have stalled at our constituents are still paying the price for the trade were. and then there w

murphy. >> thank you, chairman. thank you very much mr. chairman, good to see you all thank you for being here. i was one of the long-time skeptics of providing additionally that will aid to ukraine in part from the beginning this pardon to me ultimately to be as much or more of a political problem as it was a military problem. i think it is important when we have these meetings to fine what the russian objectives are so we can tailor a solution to try to counter those objectives. so ambassador, i will just ask that simple question. my impress is that russia has never and does not to this day want to militarily own all of ukraine, that they want to destabilize the country to a point that ultimately they can reinstall a client government or a friendly government in kiev to be back into their umbrella as was the case prior. that doesn't mean that military assistance isn't vital. it means, though, that if their ultimate goal is the political conquest of ukraine rather than the military concommittees of ukraine, it should probably inform the w
