mr. norman: two straight issues. the biden impeachment which should have happened a long time ago was separate issues than spending. you can't link the two together. he did the right thing to announce it. you know, what this president has done is, you know, shipwrecked this country. but it's two separate issues. you can't link the two. host: let's go to calls, richard in canada, a republican. caller: good morning, congressman? guest: good morning. caller: how come mitch mcconnell and others have been silent on what james comer uncovered on biden and bank record. a lot of the republicans i spoke to think they're taking money from foreign governments and also completely silent on all the fraud that was uncovered in the arizona election in 2022 and she's going to trial december 21 on the signature verification. what do you think about that? thank you very much. guest: i don't understand why they're quiet. if there's a time to showcase to the american people hard evidence, i mean, you know, the $20 million he supposedly

mr. norman of south carolina. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 723, mr. norman and a member opposed will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from south carolina. mr. norman: my amendment reduces the salary of blas nunez-neto, assistant secretary for border reduced to $1. he served on the immigration and border policy and the need to implement the holman rule with a dereliction of duty to uphold the duty of d.h.s. and safeguard the american people and our values. border home landed has become less secure in his duty at d.h.s. the highlights of the border facts are -- with these facts and the invasion at our border, we think now this individual is inadequately doing his job. why should our tax dollars go to continue his payment? i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? mr. cuellar: madam chair, i claim opposition. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. cuellar: i rise in opposition to this amendment and urge members to vote

mr. norman, the final minute. i yield to you. mr. norman: we have a great opportunity and in the words of winston churchill, in the depths of the lows of great britain, there will be a time when doing your best isn't doing enough, we have to do what is required. that is going to require courage and require stamina and that's going to require the one word that we all live under, one flag, one people, representing freedom. god bless each and every one of us. mr. good: we yield back. >> thank you congressman good, thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the chair would entertain a motion to adjourn. the question is on the motion to adjourn. those in favor, say aye. those opposed, no. the yeas have it and the motion is adopted and the motion is adopted until 10:00 a some republicans that they will not voteo allow debate on the 826 billi dollar measure. at the same time lawmakers need to figure out aay to keep the government funded after september 30 to prevent a government shutdown. you can watch live coverage of the house on c-s

mr. norman: how much time do i have? the chair: 1 1/2 minutes. mr. norman: i just say that it's this kind of thinking that's got the military in a demoralized state. it's this kind of thinking, this kind of rationalization of our hard-earned tax money that's got the military recruitment numbers way down. it's this kind of woke thinking that is penalizing families that want to serve this country by families who have children with these disabilities, who need the care, that they would deprive from getting the care because they want to fund somebody who doesn't know what gender they are. it's this kind of thinking that america's sick and tired of. and ask any military family and they would tell you the same thing. i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yield back. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from south carolina. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. the agreement is agreed to. it is now in order to considered consider amendment number 170, pr

mr. norman. i don't want to speak for him but i think some of my colleagues want to see where is this going to go? what happens at the end of 30 days? that's the conversation we're having right now about where things go. we've got to come together and move forward spending bills that will unite the conference. my belief, as i put forward here without any shame whatsoever is that a piece of legislation that will secure the southern border, reducing the size of the government by 8% over 30 day, and by the way, alongside a department of defense bill that is a strong bill if we were to pass it in the packages we would recommend doing, that would meaningfully ensure our defense is funded, our troop are paid, but it would focus on the mission first instead of the social engineering going on at defense destroying morale and recruiting. reporter: those saying they're leaning no on the c.r. have also said they hadn't read the bill yet. can i get your reaction to that and what do you think of people who ar

mr. norman. i don't want to speak for him, but some of my colleagues want to see where this is going to go, what happens at the end of 30 days? that's a conversation we are having. we have to come together and move forward spending bills that will unite the conference. my belief, as i put forward without any shame, is that a piece of legislation that will secure the southern border, reducing the size of the government for 8% over 30 days. the department of defense bill is a strong bill if we were to pass it in packages we would recommend doing, that would meaningfully ensure that our defense is funded, our troops are paid, but it would focus on the mission first instead of the social engineering going on with the fence destroying morale and recruiting. >> some are saying they are leaning no on the cr, can i get your reaction to that and what you think of people dismissing it? >> every member will take the time to look at this bill to make sure they go through it with a fine toothed comb, that's w

mr. norman of south carolina, amendment number 6, amendment number 69 by mr. more nan of south carolina, amendment number 74 by mr. rosendale of montana. the chair will reduce to two minutes the time for any electronic vote in this series. the unfinished business is the request for recorded vote of h.r. 66 printed in part b of house report 118-216, on which further proceedings were postponed, on which the ayes preentrailed voice vote. the clerk: amendment number 66 printed in part b of house report 118-216, offered by mr. norman of south carolina. the chair: a recorded vote -- a recorded vote has been requested. those in support of the recorded vote will rise and be counted. a sufficient number having risen, a recorded vote is ordered. members will record their votes by electronic device. this will be a two-minute vote.

mr. norman: you know, i now believe that most politicians in washington, d.c., don't believe in gravity. they just don't believe in gravity. you know, you can disagree with gravity, it's not the fall that gets you, it's the sudden stop. well, we're on a sudden stop with the economy here, folks. national issues of overspending, i'm tired of it. as this group behind me has said, and i'm not going to read you all the lists. you all know the overspending. but i'm tired of politicians campaigning on one thing and then not having the courage to back it up. anybody, any republican, and i won't mention democrats, they're bought and sold anyway, they're going to vote for this, anyone who votes for a continuing resolution funds all of this stuff that is absolutely insane and puts us in dire conditions. and how many people, as has been mentioned have to die on the border? how many people have to get the phone call that i got, a good friend of mine's son was shot and killed. he was police officer for 24 months. how long are we going to have the kick me on our back? folks, now is the time, now is the

mr. norman, this bill does nothing about mr.ayorkas' salary but does cut salaries for are border patrol agents and the gentleman from texas says he wants the senate to get their together. i would like to insert a press release from the chair of the u.s. senator patty murray and democrats and republicans have come to an agreement on a bipartisan resolution. you can't get an agreement amongst republicans, how pathetic, i yield three minutes to the gentleman from maryland, mr. hoish. the speaker pro tempore: members are reminded to direct the comments to the chair and not each other and the gentleman from maryland is recognized for three minutes. mr. hoyer: the american people deserve to know why we are in this position. and they need to know less than 5% of us of the 435 members of this body have put us in this position. the gentleman from texas indicated how they did that. they have held hostage the rest of us unless the bill they want is passed. they are taking hostage the american people. they are taking hostage federal employe

mr. norman: we should have had these done by now. we should have. should have been done as thomas says, early in the year. my solution would be -- and i think the good thing of what we are doing here now, you will see these out quicker than the final days next year. the only calf quat i would add, thomas, if they're not, every salary of 535 members gets cut 10% a day. let's see how quick we get the appropriations out. some of the statements that have shocked me, walls don't work, i think the doors to this facility work keeping people out. doors in our houses keep people out. the wall is paid for. i have been to the border. so that to me makes common sense. secondly, concern about the border patrol agents, this administration has handcuffed the border patrol agents. go talk to them. i did -- actually after when covid was hit, they were concerned about baby sitting then. what is even more unacceptable is you see the government cutting the wires, the lines to prevent the illegals from coming across and what's more absurd -- and i cannot believe you wou

mr. norman. the chair: the gentleman from south carolina, mr. norman and a member opposed each will control five minutes. mr. norman: i cannot believe i'm uh up here having to debate particularly at this critical time in our military the spending of $1.4 billion in 2022 for money spent on diversity, equity and inclusion. a woke military is a weak military. the military's sole purpose is to provide for the defense of our great nation. our military's focus should not be the protection of the american people and our freedoms not liberal feelings. therefore my amendment would eliminate any offices of diversity, equity and inclusion in the armed forces and the department of defense. woke idea ole undermine ours readiness in a variety of ways. it undermines cohesiveness by emphasizes differents based on race, ethnicity and sex. rerecently had 160 retired flag officers write a letter to speaker mccarthy and house armed services committee rogers about the dangers of d.e.i. and the opposition to it in the military. the officers wrote, we respectfully requ

mr. norman, is now recognized for five minutes. >> let me ask you a question that i asked an activist that came by my office. do trees have lives next put your microphone on. >> i'm sorry? >> do trees have lives like people? they grow and then there is a point when they die? realize that the activist, i asked the same question. they said, what you getting at? i said a simple question. do trees have lives? >> and they said no. it is left untouched. if you ask any forced her in california, you have these regulations that are letting this buildup 2-3 feet and it doesn't make sense. for the commissioner in california to put -- what government bureaucrats dictate rates that private insurers can charge is ludicrous. in your role, you have a great example to actually go talk to a forced her and it can be maintained. but if you are never -- of a tree lives forever and you are never going to cut them and log them at a proper time to allow nature to take place in the force to breathe. if you are never going to take that away which is kind of a tinderbox, then you have a problem. that is a lot of the

mr. norman of south carolina, was asked how likely a shutdown is? his response was it's 100%. and then, mr. speaker, i want to ask unanimous consent to submit into the record a truth social post from yesterday by donald trump opposing the g.o.p.'s continuing resolution. the twice impeached, four times indicted former president is weighing in on the funding fights within his party. ultimately he's endorsing action that is will shut down the government. i have a strange feeling my republican counterparts will gladly comply at the expense of the american people because everybody on that side of the aisle is so frightened of him. the gentleman from oklahoma was talking about a shutdown in 2018. i don't disagree with my friend that there was a brief shutdown in early 2018. a lot of people don't remember because it was so short. of course republicans -- should point out republicans were in charge of the house and in charge of the senate at the time. i know some democrats were pushing to help dreamers as part of a funding deal. that brief symbolic shutdown lasted less than 72 hours, m

mr. norman is recognized. >> from wonder i want to thank each of the panelists. dimension i know forest fires have come up here ms. benatar you mentioned that. i think one of my colleagues mentioned the problem we have with forest fires particularly california. if you talked to any of the forest management team, you know what they say the number one cause outside of lightning and outside of intentional setting fires, number one cause is? >> i say it daily and it is arson. >> what's another? >> well, for our fires we do, lightning, arson, and that's been the primary causes of fires. for us is growing significantly due to not addressing deforestation issues and not actually doing medication to control to help stop fire from explain the fe from expanding in our communities. >> the newport issue, we have a lot of national areas and federal rights in south carolina but mentioned the activists, the thatch is two and three feet that they want to let you take up. which is a tinderbox for an arsonist. my question at one of the hearings was do you believe trees have lives?

mr. norman. some of my colleagues want to see where will this go?hat will have been at the end of 30 days? we have to come together and move forward spending bills that will unite the conference. my belief is that a piece of legislation that will secure the southern border, reduce the size of the government by 8% alongside a department of defense bill that is a strong bill if we were to pass it in the packages we were meant to would meaningfully fund our military. host: that was chip roy yesterday on capitol hill, one of the leaders of the freedom caucus among conservative house republicans. asking for your thoughts as we are watching the clock ticked down on this potential government shutdown. (202) 748-8000 is the number for democrats. republicans, (202) 748-8001. independents, (202) 748-8002. this is david, french lick, indiana. caller: good morning. there are several very intelligent speaking people regarding the shutdown and i would probably be at the bottom end of that. i think as representative roy spoke there, we have to stop spending money.

mr. continetti: thank you for having me. pleasure to be here. it was norman who said the longest journey in the world is from brooklyn to manhattan. the longest journey in the world is from ai to brookings. i want to take a step back. your opening conversation was interesting. we go back seven years ago and we look at the emergence of national populism around the world, we could have referred to something as the national international. there's all these various national populists parties, that seem to share a certain agenda responding to social change in their societies, they were all against international institutions whether it was the eu, are skeptical of nato in the united states. they seemed to have a fawn view of vladimir putin. but to your point, it seems to me that now we have to disaggregate this nationalist international. she is not pis. none of them. he has his own unique set of problems. it's different than afd. maybe she will be a slightly different -- be slightly different. it's important to take a step back and see how these movements are fract

mr. speaker. i rise today to honor the life of my constituent and world war ii veteran, william norman parker, who passed away on september 11, as an american hero. mr. parker was one of the first soldiers to arrive on omaha beach on d-day in 1944. mr. parker and his fellow soldiers displayed incredible heroism on that fateful day and the terrible days that followed. their courage and patriotism represent the very best of the american spirit. in july of this year, mr. parker returned to omaha beach for the first time since that day, 78 years ago. i can only imagine how he felt standing on that calm beach then with the traumatic memories from that summer when he was just 19 years old, risking life and limb for the future of this country. my prayer is that he found peace on that beach and returned home feeling the pride and gratitude of the nation he fought for. when it be on the omaha beach or at ground zero, america has always stood for freedom and will continue to make that stand. my thoughts and prayers are with bill's friends, his family and beloved veteran community as he's laid to rest today

little to dennis his appeal among republican voters, at least the race for the norman said with him blue cross this. that's a mr. trump simply didn't see any point in taking costs. that's right. i think that last person we heard in the report that trump supporter really said it best. why should trump show up to this when he has a very secure, really way out ahead a lead on the field. i'm. it is really isn't a republican nomination for president, this is a trump nomination for president, and he's the only trump. at the same time, donald trump, as we, we know from his history, loves to be loved. so why would he stand on that stage as, as chris christie, the permanent jersey governor said to be criticized to be attacked to be among people that maybe don't like him. he's at a riley where people will shower him at attention. so from, from both political, strategic in his own ego perspectives, there's very little reason for him to be there, his own senior advisor. it's called the debate boring and in consequential. i think that right there sums up a reason why donald trump did not attend. let him go crossed up next o

in fact, he said it was the very same crime that mr trump had arguably encouraged others to commit. well, as peter bowes mentioned there, normanwas the attorney for proud boys leaderjoseph biggs, and after the sentencing he drew the link between his client and donald trump. let's listen to what he said. i think there is a broader country crisis of legitimacy going on in this country right now. look at the current presidential race. donald trump in all of this, he stood on the ellipse, basically told people, 74 ellipse, basically told people, 7a million of his followers, the election is stolen, go to the election is stolen, go to the capital, fight like hell or you would have a country anymore. some people listen. but they supposed to know he was full of hot air and was he full of hot air? i look forward to his trials and seeing him testify someday. if your president tells you, your country has been stolen, the country has been stolen, the country that people fought and died for, people are trying to take your boat from you, how are you supposed to react to that? and these people reacted violently and to the detriment. live now

norman pattis. he said, "how are they supposed to know that mr trump was full of hot air", in his words.here. yeah, it's an interesting question. and it remains to be seen whether this really implicates president trump or whether people will think that he's associated with both of these fringe groups. so, you know, that sort of remains to be seen. i think the president so far has has, if anything, used these indictments and, of course, the mug shot last week to his advantage. so, you know, he's got major bumps in the polling from the indictments as well as bumps in fundraising. so i don't know if this will finally be one of the issues that actually affects him negatively. but so far, he's, you know, in many respects taken advantage of the prosecutions. does that concern you? because it shouldn't be that way, should it? no, no, definitely. and i think, i mean, in many respects, it seems like the left and much of the legacy media in the us wants trump to be the candidate. and that's probably, i think, one of the reasons that they've continued with the indictments, is because they really do

trumps campaigns to be the republican norman need to fix as well that i can't say because to their continually surprising extent, people who are the strongest supporters of mr. trump essentially refused to believe that he lost the election. they've refused to believe that you've had some january, 6th, or a real consequence, or that they were, they were justified. i don't know what it will do with respect to his political chances. i can say the fire mr. trump, i would be nervous. what's going for looking forward and he, after all is facing a trial for in essence being the overseer of the overall scheme that led to the advanced on january 6th. and if you were to be conducted a trial which is now set for early next year, i think we can certainly he should be nervous that judges in the district are not taking us at all likely. and he'd be seriously looking at some very serious, present time when it comes to the tire try. i mean lawyers for the defense said the proud boys, a group was not invited to the target was ashamed of his actions, but that didn't really get much traction. did it, it's all simple because the proud doors are certainly not non violent as and

mr. mccarthy basically dared the freedom caucus to try to remove him from the speakership and you didn't. is that threat sort of empty at this point? rep. norman: you had one member mentioned that. it is not an empty point, it's always out there. who is to say if we don't move anything else what's going to happen? the reason we fought to keep that in in january is because anybody, if you are not doing your job in the private sector, you don't keep your job. kevin has done some good things but spending is the cancer in the country he has to focus on. hopefully he will. i am not going to go there with what i vote to vacate or not. i am saying let's get the job on the economy going, get spending under control, move this country forward. amna: the republican plan does not include additional funding for ukraine defending itself from russia. you saw president biden at the u.n. ga today say the u.s. is going to continue to stand with ukraine. are you worried that calling that funding into question emboldens russia and its war in ukraine? rep. norman: what i worry about is this president not having any -- if he were legitimate saying he wanted to find

mr. rick, would you agree with that? >> i agree that happens frequently, and i think the high deductible phase in particular for patients where they're exposed to full list pricing is in a norman's difference between what they pay and what the system pays and that creates a surplus in supporting premiums or other things. >> so i want to ask our three representatives, mr. joiner, who owns your pbm company? >> cvs health. and it is there a connection also to at night? the large insurer? >> yes that's right. >> doctor who owns express scripts? >> senator, the cigna group owns express scripts. another large insurer correct? >> yes health care. and i apologize. if i've mispronounced your name. another, a note -- another large employer and insurer. to me, this is an example of the systems incentive. if you are in fact negotiating for your client. you are negotiating for your owners who are all large insurers, for other plan sponsors that are insurance companies. for large self-insured employers . but you're not in -- you're not negotiating for the customer. because it's not up to you what the people who hire you or for whom you work decide to do with that discount, they could pass it

one of the talking points is greg norman will be reassigned to an advisory role determined by tif, when the pga tour becomes the manager of the liv toward. mr. dunne has said that the agreement does not talk about money. there was an understanding about tif investing in the new entity. you may have another name now. that investment, you told us will be more than $1 billion, correct? >> there has been no agreement reached. there have been discussions in that nature. i would add that one of the things he mentioned about if we reach an agreement that would be important to us, is the public investment fund providing funding to support social causes that would provide additional access to the game. >> are you bound by the non-disparate clause, which is stated in the agreement? >> not in this forum. >> not in this forum, but generally? >> when you're negotiating a business agreement, it is common to have that clause. >> it may be common, but you are bound by it. mr. dunne, as a member of the policy board, you are bound by it as well, correct? >> senator, i'm sitting before the united states senators. you can ask me what you want, i will answer tr
