mr. obviously, i mean, yes. yes of the russians don't need to use nuclear weapons, so that is the notion that you try and fight a war with the roger is ridiculously the capability of doing that. the notion that nato can fire the conventional wars rusher is, is ridiculous. and so, but that's where we're headed, because as the war whiteness, it becomes more dangerous. and so i don't understand, and none of my colleagues, we don't understand why rusher takes this risk, is not a limited conflict any longer. i mean, food can say it's a limited middle to operation, but it's not limited when we have have 6 teams coming in from nato countries where we have long range missiles coming in from england and the united states. this is not a limited operation. and so the pretense that is so limited operation is long exposed. and so is the russians need to bring this to a close before it gets out of hand. and that is the only question about this product. uh huh. just just pay it to the devil's advocate. advocates had them. so m

a 2 things that i really know is, is the key issues that was know mr. fulton's, obviously to china. the 1st was tie one. no, i think that'll be a very happy heat and aging to houston, but there's what's up. lincoln said, he said that there had been no change to the one china policy that the us does not support. try $1.00 to $1.00 independence and that it, the human need opposes any change to the status quotes or at least to an extent where he's the right kind of words. what kind of language that serve us seems to respect at these that initial claim that time china has over tie one going forward . of course the he also mentioned that he does not want any change the status quo. i think that will be left for the future. considering that she didn't think does definitely want to see were unification with that stuff. island at some point, the baby steps i think, and also he talked about trade, which is another huge issue. i think i've heard from many analysts saying that the reason that they didn't find it so difficult to really believe that washington is sincere, wanting to improve size,

mr. pavlo, well, obviously, we were talking about europe, now we need to talk a little and about our, unfortunatelyeighbors in the north and north-east, i mean belarus, look at russia . last week, there was a statement by the self-proclaimed president of belarus, oleksandr lukashenko let's listen to this statement first , if it didn't interfere a little more than a year ago , it started tomorrow, but the conditions are worse for russia and belarus, all this is over preparedness against everything they wanted to regulate peacefully, they during this time created their own capable armed forces, that is, look at mr. pavlo, the self-proclaimed former spoke about the fact that the only thing that can cross the border between belarus and ukraine is tractors belarusians now he is talking about the fact that it is a pity that we did not resolve this issue or it is a shame that we did not resolve this issue together with putin earlier in 2014-2015. in your opinion, this is another statement by grigorovich al lukashenko, or could there be something behind it but pay attention, even in your video, and i saw l

mr. pavlonovu was obviously talking about europe, now we need to talk a little about ours, to the great regret of such neighbors north and north-east, i mean belarus, look at russia. last week , there was a statement from the self-proclaimed president of belarus, alexander lukashenko. let's listen to this statement first . to this, it is probably our only problem that we did not solve this problem in 14-15, when there was no army in ukraine, no readiness against everything , they wanted to settle it peacefully in some way, during this time they created a capable armed force i.e. look, mr. pavlo, the self-proclaimed former spoke about the fact that the only thing that can cross the border between belarus and ukraine is belarusian tractors, now he says that it is a pity that we did not resolve this issue, it is obvious that it is a shame that we did not resolve this issue together with putin earlier in in 2014-2015, in your opinion, this is another statement by hryhorovych al lukashenko, or could there be something behind it, but pay attention even to your video, and i saw a longer uh-uh from ev

mr. pavlonova, they obviously said now we need to talk a little about europe and about our, unfortunately, such neighbors in the north and north-east , i mean belarus, look at russia , last week there was a statement from the university of the self-proclaimed president of belarus, alexander lukashenko , let's first listen to this statement tomorrow, but worse conditions for russia and belarus , everything to this. the only thing that we did not solve was the problem in 14-15 , when there was no army in ukraine, no readiness against everything, they wanted to peacefully somehow regulate, they created a capable armed force during this time, that is, look, mr. pavlo, earlier the self-proclaimed said that the only thing that can cross the border between belarus and ukraine is belarusian tractors . we did not solve this issue together with putin earlier in 2014-2015. do you think this is another statement by hryhorovich al lukashenko or could there be something behind it, but pay attention even in your video and i saw a longer uh from everyone sitting at the table i i won't say the russian rep

mr. trump, obviously, had no concern for any of those heroes and american's public servants. tical that the rule of law we upheld, that mr. trump be held to account. because it is as john adams said, and jv raskin so often reminds us, we are a nation of laws not of man. >> amanda, congressman madeleine dean, thank you so much for your time on the sunday. >> thank you for covering the on any fire. thank you very much for that. >> it is in your backyard, right there in pennsylvania. goodnight. all, right everyone over presidential candidate who is convicted of a crime. and that person stays in the race, running for president from prison. what would the framers of the constitution say? i will ask that very question to my next guest. to my next guest ♪ but now i've found a way that's right for me. ♪ ♪ feels more easy. ♪ ♪ my doc and i agreed. ♪ ♪ i pick the time. ♪ ♪ today's a good day. ♪ ♪ i screened with cologuard and did it my way! ♪ cologuard is a one-of-a kind way to screen for colon cancer that's effective and non-invasive. it's for people 45 plus at average risk, not high r

mrs. maisel." obviously, you've done this incredible show for five seasons. that to do this wonderful play where you play a woman in 1960s new york city again. [ laughter ] >> yes >> seth: so this is kind of your move now >> i guess it is it's -- maybe next i'll get to go to the '70s that would be really exciting. >> seth: oh, my god, yeah. we would love to see you in the '70s >> thank you so much or the '90s. that's vintage now >> seth: oh, the '90s. >> take me to the '90s >> seth: don't tell me that the '90s is vintage. >> isn't that terrifying >> seth: that breaks my heart, yeah >> me, too yeah, no i mean what's interesting about this is i feel like, you know, obviously it's a coincidence i feel like i'm searching for great parts and great writing and great scripts. but, it -- i feel like iris, who i play in "the sign in sidney brustein's window," would be one of the beatniks in the comedy club of one of midge's shows. >> seth: yes >> they're pretty different gals >> seth: exactly it turns out there were a lot of different kinds of people in new york city

mr. trump is he owned up to it and he pled guilty. obviously, mr.d not plead guilty if he is not guilty. i'm just highlighting the difference. it's not unheard of that this is a charge that would happen. mr. trump is not being singled out. i think the department of justice needs to say that publically. >> catherine, thank you very much. >>> joining us, eddie glaude, an msnbc political analyst. >> how big of a test is this right now for the country? >> it's huge. are we a nation of laws? does the rule of law obtain? i think it's inflection point. we are at a moment culturally, a moment politically where the country is deeply divided. 70 million folks voted for donald trump. do they have trust in our legal system? do they have faith that he will be treated fairly? we are at this inflection point. where will we end up as we come through this, as we go through this? >> i'm wondering, it's just -- there are so many moments where they should be inflection moments. is this, do you think, in the long term going to be something that could change hearts and m

mr. clements: they're obviously better managed than the two that failed. mr. meuser: what about regional banks? mr. clements: we've not done work for me to talk about their management. mr. meuser: state of affairs then. do you find it to be -- these banks have been rattled by all of this, this bailout that occurred with s.v.b. and now community banks are concerned that they may bear the brunt in higher fdic fees. so that's unnerving some of their detoeser toes -- depositors. do you think that's undue, unnecessary? or what's your thought? mr. huizenga: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. meuser: i yield back, mr. chairman, thank you. mr. huizenga: you'll be able to answer that question in writing. with that, the congresswoman from texas, ms. garcia, is recognized for five minutes. mr. garcia: thank you, mr. chairman. and thank you, mr. clements, for being here with us today. i wanted to also lay out a few facts before i begin. the first one is that the president has lowered the deficit by $1.7 trillion. $1.7 trillion in his first two years in the office. so w

and obviously, mr.ting that that is the case in so many of his supporters suggesting the same thing. but is there any suggestion, any indication on any evidence whatsoever that the special counsel in this case is motivated by politics? yes. i'll go out on a limb here. i really don't think so. mr. smith was brought on as a special counsel. he was meant to be independent of the attorney general, who is a biden appointee, to be sure. and as far as we know, based on all the reporting and all the information we have, he did act independently in bringing these charges, although final approval for them had to be given by the attorney general himself. but there's no suggestion that any of these charges were politically motivated. i know that's the claim. it's an easy claim for mr. trump to make. he is running for office. the timing couldn't have been avoided given the timing of the original audit by the records department in washington, d.c. which led to the initial inquiry to return the documents which mr. tru

the founder, obviously, mr.uccessful, which it was, that they would have a second mission as soon as august the company did reopen ticket sales two years ago. prices do begin $450,000 per seat. little bargain. stock is down. in other aviation news, after getting faa approval to test their electric air taxi. the aviation service company announcing it received a $100 million investment from south korea's fk telecom. the investment part of an expanded partnership in which it's going to demonstrate its aircrafts in korea in attempt to push for the adoption of aerial ridesharing. again stock jumping more than 11.5%. now let's look at overstock. this is interesting. the stock has gotten a real nice boost. it's up almost 18%. they've announced they are changing their name online to get this , bed, bath and beyond. so a bankruptcy judge approved this move. overstock bought the bankrupt brand's name, domain, loyalty program, assets, earlier this week. they spent $21 million. overstock ceo jonathan johnson said that combi

mr. speaker, i had the honor of serving with the gentleman from cali on the house -- california on the house permanent select committee for eight years and i had a view of his work. it's obviously not what mr. schiff did was wrong. it's what he did to well. that's what bothers the majority. he defended our country from threats foreign and domestic. he defended the rule of law, and he defended our democracy during its most critical and pivotal points and he held the former president accountable. but what really gnaws on the majority, what really bothers them was that mr. schiff was way better than anybody on their team at debate, at leadership, at messaging, at legal knowledge. he kicked their ass. he was better. he was more effective, and that still bothers them. they couldn't beat him on the field so they voted him off. we voted people off committees because they posed threats, not because they can't compete. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. i remind members to refrain from profanities in their remarks. the gentlelady from florida. mrs. luna: i yield two minutes of my time to the gentleman from virginia, representative good. the speaker pro tempore: t

mr. ne obviously social security is a real problem i did spend on the same way for several years a real threaton the horizon is artificial intelligence, has your office been able to look at criminal activity around artificial intelligence and do you think your office and the administration is prepared to address fact via artificial intelligence in the future? >> that's absolutely rapidly evolving technology that we are all trying to keep up with with and i think it's important for the agency and the oig to monitor this very closely. artificial intelligence has i think the opportunity to for tremendous benefit to the agency in helping to process claims and handle its workloads but there is also considerable risks if it gets in the hands of bad actors. risks we can't even contemplate at this point. there's been an incident a few years ago where it did appear that artificial intelligence was calling the social security administration try to process direct deposit changes on behalf of social security beneficiaries and we work with the agency to alert employees of this scam but like i said, it's a

mr. chopra: i -- obviously -- it's -- i will -- i want to just say we and our staff try to discharge our public service obligations faithfully and to the best of our ability, as we swear an oath to our constitution and our country. mr. vargas: i wanted to give you an opportunity to react to that. now, are you beating the stuffing out of the free enterprise system? mr. chopra: no. in fact, we have made an emphasis about the importance of new entry, naysant entry, the ability for new players not to have to stumble through and hire so many high-priced lawyers. our country benefits when consumers have more choices and when honest businesses are protected from those who violate the law. mr. vargas: of course. here comes the tougher question. you were accused of mccarthyism. is it kevin mccarthyism or joseph mccarthyism and what's the difference? mr. chopra: i'll withhold responding, mr. chairman. mr. vargas: ok. we'll leave that for another time. mr. barr: the gentleman will suspend. the speaker is protected and so the gentleman will refrain from disparaging and using personalities. ms. water

mr. pavel this year there will obviously not be an invitation, but will there be any clearer wording about we will continue to cooperate with nato, at least while the aggressive russian war continues in our territory, in fact, the discussions in bratislava are part of how the wind is changing, the wind is changing in europe and macron's speech is indicative , not so much ms. ovsula, because everything is clear there, she says quite banal things for us, if there is no security, how will we exist, we will exist europe how can we actually count on the safety of investments and the safety of life as such, but macron said some interesting things for someone, his speech was a surprise for me, in the end, he was quite expected, first, he stopped talking about europe as a separate reality and emphasized ancient solidarity , what was expected of him, he tried to play giant slalom there after visiting china, did he play about strategic autonomy , now he said that a west is a west, in fact , translated from diplomatic to normal and the west should be united and it is actually a lot if you hear it fro

mr. put who left it with everything would be fine. everyone would be happy and russian would just become a nice those style the color the of the west. but this obviously would not happen when mr. proving to be replaced. he would be replaced by somebody who would be far, far less amenable to western interest continues in march, and he always has been a moderate and he's been attempted to create peaceful, beneficial relationship with the west and he expected for russian to be treated as in people and is simply not a notion of which, which works with washington. nobody's their e p, their minds speaking to eric kraus political unless somebody thanks for your time, really appreciate your thoughts on this. thank you. to be replaced with luck together. did it a video posted early, i started be involved with chasing the military headquarters, enroll still, apparently holding tools with the russians, deputy defense minister on military intelligence chief, i'm doing well and more video goes and all that time his forces have taken control of most of the field and military come on center seems subsidies related to we are at the headquarters or a 7 30 am rest stop

about it, but those notes have to be in the custody of his lawyers there's particular concern obviously about mr. trump because he has a habit of making public sensitive information he's obtained from his lawyers when witnesses names in this case become public, they tend to be the subject of death threats. for instance, the secret service that testified before the grand jury, members of trump's mar-a-lago staff, all that information will go to his lawyers, and he'll be able to see it what this order says is he's not allowed to reveal it to the public this is about the unclassified evidence the classified information will be subject to a different set of rules. his lawyers having to get security clearance to view some of the material. there's going to be a big fight over what they have access to and what they can use in court. >> harry, what's your take on that the fbi resisted opening a january 6th probe for more than a year >> behind the scenes, jose, we've been speculating were they dragging their rp feet rp it's excellent reporting, understandably from carol and her colleagues a lot of it put

mr. durham embrace the details of his report he has been very thorough. we discussed obviously our concerns and his concerns about misconduct but the real focus is what is next. we do not want this to happen again. and how do we put steps in place where we can try to had to stop in the past? >> some of the differences between the reports, because there are some distinctions and we were interested in what the distinctions were. we probed the boundaries that mr. durham was able to do. if you read the ig report and mr. durham's report, you will discover the conflict is not so much in the text, but the expectations that were built around the reports. if you believed the behavior of the fbi was perfect you were disappointed. if you believe that special counsel mr. durham was going to uncover a deep state conspiracy you were disappointed. reporter: [indiscernible] >> mr. durham states she did not lay out recommendations. he agreed he would discuss with us his lessons learned, his issues he thinks need to be addressed, in addition to take questions from us. reporter: >> what elements

mr. strawbridge: if that was the only reason that they were choosing it, i think that that would -- that would require, you know, obviously, an analysis of what the evidence that was brought to bear in an arlington heights analysis. there's burden-shifting that occurred there. justice kavanaugh: what if it's one of the reasons? mr. strawbridge: w think, if they can demonstrate they would have -- they would have pursued that policy anyway, i think it's sufficient for them to escape liability. justice kagan: well, that really means it's not the reason at all. so you are saying, if the -- if that contributes at all to the decision-making, then that's rmissible? think that's what i'm saying. i'm saying thahat -- that if the only reason to do it is through the narrow lens of race and there is no other race-neutral justification for it that the government can come forward monstrate that would have led it to adopt that policy anyway,nk -- i think that that -- i think that's the only scenario where it would create problems under the court's precedent. justice sotomayor: but isn't that what this plan in unc already does? race is n

mr. chairman. obviously representing massachusetts, i am very proud about biomedical research and development. but the challenge remains that much innovation is locked behind walls of research institutions, drug manufacturers, and mazes of policy benefit managers and insurers. innovation without access is a hallucination for patients across the country. they need access to these lifesaving drugs. one in five americans with diabetes is forced to ration their insulin. when patients do not get the insulin they need, they show up in emergency rooms, in acute crisis, patients receiving care from community health centers should not show up in emergency departments. and that is in massachusetts, and we pride ourselves as the number one state, we are the brain state. but even we have problems with this issue. in march, both eli lilly and sanofi announced cuts in insulin prices. some of these forms of insulin have been available since 1996, and prices have only been going up. the price cuts that did occur followed in

obviously, mr. speaker, i strongly support this resolution. it authorizes the event that i'm proud to support every year, the greater washington soapbox derby. the soapbox derby brings people together from across the greater washington metro area, encouraging kids, families, and communities to compete in a fun and educational race. mr. speaker, this is my 30th year introducing this resolution. i am grateful to say that every year it's passed unanimously. this is the greater washington soapbox derby's 80th year. the race will be held on june 17 and see soapbox racers from ages 8 to 17 compete in three divisions, stock, super stock, and masters. the winner from each division will have a chance to compete at the national all-american soapbox derby in akron, ohio. soapbox derbies have been called the greatest amateur racing event in the world. whether that's absolute fact, it is very close. they have become a staple of the american experience all over our country. they teach sportsmanship, engineering, manufacturing, leadership skills, and so many

mr. speaker, this is rudy giuliani and jenna ellis. we're calling you together because we'd like to discuss, obviously the election. >> hello, mr.s jenna el lits. i'm here with mayor giuliani. >> hey, brian. it's rudy, i really have something important to call to your attention that i think really changes things. >> cutler felt that the outreach was inappropriate and asked his lawyers to tell rudy giuliani to stop calling. but giuliani continued to reach out. >> i understand that you don't want to talk to me now. i just want to bring some facts to your attention. and talk to you as a fellow republican. >> it's harassment at this point. do you have a sense of how far along that part of the investigation and that grand jury might be? >> no idea. sorry. >> you're so good at predicting. >> i don't know. >> yeah. >> do you get the sense you're at the giuliani stage, how much further would they need to go? you think they want meadows. you think they want giuliani. you think they want -- who would signal to you that this is getting to the end? >> yeah. so, what i will say, i don't know where they are, but to me, once the documents case

mr. donalds: overall, with respect to capital, i want to take a step back. obviously, since 2008, 2009, we have in my view aggressively gone through this process of increasing capital standards, capital requirements on capital for banks. in retrospect, do you think that's been a net positive to the overall banking environment or do you believe it's been a negative to the overall banking environment? chair powell: i think it's been a net positive. as i pointed out earlier, u.s. banks have competed very, very successfully through this period despite what were pretty significant capital increases that we put in a few years back. it has led to very strong and also made it well through the pandemic period, i thought. i think that was a pretty good test. so even though the government did do a lot to support the economy, still, i think those capital hikes that we made in the last cycle come through looking pretty good. mr. donalds: do you guys at the fed, do you have a view -- i say you guys because i know you're the chairman but there are other members as well. do you have

it's been a great conversation with obviously so many more issues to tackle but thank you mr.comptroller for joining us we are back for another one on one conversation with

this government is appropriate if it cannot provide elementary needs, which are obviously priorities for the population, mre government . according to some political scientists, the russian government, this information is just the reason and will use it to the full at its own discretion and to receive its own dividends , well, that is, to show and what did you expect from them , that is, they bring death by force, what they are talking about now and in their video messages there the governors there are saying something about er nazis of some kind, although these are their er their own russian citizens, that is, the essence of the question is whether or not russia will even be able to twist er to its own advantage or not well, not in my opinion, this is a failed approach, such an information campaign is a failure because well, look at putin, he built his image as such a macho, yes, as a strong leader , it means that he controls everything, everything is under his influence and under control, which means that you should not worry. yes, we are carrying out a special military operation there, but it does not c

mr. president, obviously i'm deeply disappointed by an is there objection being heard here, but i real real really feel compelled to -- but i really feel compelled to explain one factor of my colleague's comments. we don't want the military involved in politics. we do everything we can to keep them insulated from the internal politics of the congress, of the senate and the house. and that's exactly what my colleague is doing by this hold. we're responsible to make sure that we support our men and women in harm's way. having the military academies properly managed is part of our responsibility so that they have the tools they need to defend our nation. and one last point that was mentioned by my colleague about having up-and-down votes on these nominations, that he would not hold that up. well, he is. he's requiring to break a filibuster. what he's suggest something that he's not letting us have an up-or-down vote. that's what my unanimous consent would have allowed. so we don't have to have a cloture motion, which is exactly what my colleague is suggesting we need to go through, in order to

mr. valery thank you for joining look well obviously we today, we will start ukraine's path to nato with nato, and ultimately our relations with the nato headquarters in brussels and the nato member countries, because in just three weeks , a summit will be held in vilnius on july 11 and 12, at which the fate of ukraine will probably be decided. maybe not, that's what i want to talk to you about today. do you understand, i understood that, valery what at this nato summit , why did i understand from the statements that have been heard over the past two or three weeks that at this nato summit, we will not receive an invitation to nato in freedom, i want to hear it is your explanation why in brussels, well, an invitation does not mean entry, we understand that after the invitation there will be some time, years may pass before we become a member of nato, why are brussels afraid to make such a formal invitation to us? that we will not receive an invitation , well, for stoltenberg in particular, who says that we will continue to support ukraine , but first we need to end the war, well, such an

it's been a great b conversation with obviously so manyny more issues to tackle, butha you mr.acting comptroller for joining us. >> hershat's coming up live today on the c-span nwos. at 10 a.m. easrnn c-span the house returns for general speeches. at noon members before legislativ biness to consider a bill that would expand healt insurance options for small businesses. lawmakers will also voteo override president biden's veto of a joint resolution to block his student loan debt forgiveness program which will require two-thirds majority. at0 m. eastern on c-span2 the senes working on judicial nominatio a will also vote to override president biden's veto of a measure repealing an epa role on emsion standards for heavy-duty trucks. again needing two-thirds majority. also beginning a 9.m. on c-span3, johnurm the justice department's former special counsel testifies on his investigation of the fbi's probe into alleged rusan interference during the 2016 presidential election. at two p.m. aou oversight andccntability subcommittee looks at efforts to address the post-pandemic backlog o

obviously, that's why mr. comer doesn't want the u.s. attorney or any special counsel involved. they want to do it themselves. let's see -- >> ainsley: you can't make the argument "father's love." we all love our children and wrong is wrong. if you do something wrong and plead guilty to crimes and not paying your taxes then that's wrong. there are consequences for that. >> brian: what about the fact that there is over 10 instances that rob walker talks about where president biden is sitting in when he was vice president and afterwards on his son's business deals where he walks into the four seasons and they are having a meeting with the chinese official and joe biden sits down and he said he -- rob walker said i don't even think he had a glass of water. he listened to the deal and he left. so right there he looked into the camera during the debate and said 51 -- 51 intelligence experts said this is the laptop is classic russian disinformation. he knew it was a lie. it was his son's laptop. they had emails exchanges. he was part of it. his voice mail was on that laptop. and, agai

mr. trump keeps saying obviously the justice department has been weaponized and this is a political persecution, not even a prosecution. and yet, everyone is trying to distance themselves from that process. the current president is distancing himself from the justice department, and the current attorney general is distancing himself from the process as well by giving it to jack smith. when in reality, none of them will be immune from the attacks and from all of the vitriol that's being thrown at them. and from all of the vitriol that's being thrown at them. and eventually the president is going to have to address this. eventually he's going to be asked about it in a way he won't be able to stay silent, and you can imagine at a debate if mr. trump ends up being the nominee, this is going to come up. >> if he does a debate. >> if he does a debate. this is going to come up. he's going to be challenged in some way. for right now as you said, it will be a test of discipline, but at some point he's going to have to say something. >> keep in mind, he's also under investigation from a different special

mr. bostic of atlanta saying is less urgency out there. how do you color the state -- collar state strategy around those polarities? marvin: it certainly indicates -- obviously dudley is no longer on the fed but this is playing out. it was constructive given where the estimates were and where the dots went by think you have the broader view amongst the committee. on the one side, if you are thinking 4.5%, you are thinking the fed will not be successful in reining in. i think the fed has been successful in saying there are things out there whether it is student loans or credit deterioration or the broad slowing of the economy. this will start to have an impact in the next six to 12 months. katie: i want to talk about the fact it was a unanimous decision but then you look at the comments and there is a clear goal. marvin: we will get the minutes soon. i love to see what they say there. i do not buy there was notice that? i think they did a disservice by putting out that message because it feels they are managing the process. i don't know if we want the central bank to manage this process. the central bank has spent a lot of time trying to make the message unan

for us, it will obviously be news . and for them, no, mr. i think that we are also working well and our diplomats are working well. we know who is behind this initiative . in the countries that will come, we know about the brazilian foundation that is trying to play such a dynamic role under this initiative, that is, the general image and not only the general ones we usually know and i think let them come is a very good story for us, we need closer communication with african countries, it will work for us here in in kiev, explain in such a direct, on the one hand, reasoned on the other hand, with the right emotions conversation about what is going on for us, and what will happen if we strive for the sake of everything that is important to them there a good seed for some kind of compromise for the sake of a compromise. and what will happen after that? we have to explain it, and i still think that it should not be implemented, let it be ordinary , detached from reality, but greater communications with african countries will eventually come. fi

mr. tatarov in such a way that he is obviously not doing what he should be doing and his responsibility isvely for nabu or why to keep individual oligarchs by simulating a struggle with them at a time when everything is not bad for them and the only country where they can be comfortably is ukraine and they are comfortable for her there are a lot of such questions, you are absolutely right, unfortunately , we see a shift in emphasis and reluctance to answer uncomfortable questions , he definitely started with them, let's keep quiet a little more , but this silence is also costing us dearly, and you we must remember that we can win the war, but then lose the peace, uh, well, thank you, mr. volodymyr, volodymyr omelyan, a politician, diplomat , minister of infrastructure of ukraine in 16-19 years and a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine was with us, well, we will now have a short break. then we will come back and remember the suppression of the uprising in anyanyen square , we will have the secretary general of the human rights commission of the parliament and ivan, we will also talk a

it's been a great conversation with obviously so many more issues to tackle but thank you mr. acting comptroller for joining us we are back for another one on one conversation with our leaders from government after that wonderful panel. i'm delighted to have travis hill, the vice chairman of the sdi c. the vice chair is a friend and has outed himself as a very unique and thoughtful voice in town. thank you so much for joining us. i know you are busy i really appreciate it. >> thanks for having me it's great to be here. >> silicon valley bank was a major event in the banking sector. maybe i should start by you getting your perspective as to some of your drivers and perception of the policy response. what's been good and what's been bad thus far? >> maybe i will start with the first part of the question, in terms of the drivers i think it's a very simple y in 2020 had 2021 the banking industry ry experienced an enormous explosion of money coming into the system in response to the unprecedented government stimulus resulting from the pandemic. the growth and deposits far outpaced

mr. chairman, i appreciate it. thank you for all spending the day with us and speaks obviously not only to the important work of the committee but obviously how important we feel agriculture remains to food security and national security and we appreciate you. i want to localize one question and i have one other, mr. chairman. i represent a part of the state of new york and family farms remain in the largest industry but also where we continue to feel the pressure of outmigration from met robin lou pollation areas and putting pressure on the subdivision and higher cost of land and also of course i serve and represent new york state, which i think california might give us a run for our money but to still perhaps with the most overregulated states in america. if you likely know new york began its transition to a 40 hour worker and area farm and farmers across new york and going under inflation, high cost of doing business. i know this is a state issue, but obviously has major impact on farming and agriculture. about access to work force. what the threshold lowering would do to family farms and potentially hurt farms

mr. corcoran should expect to have to testify at any trial. >> obviously, trump has also been indicted byour former office, the manhattan district attorney's office, for falsification of business records. now he's also been indicted by the special counsel. when you look at the two of them side by side, which one do you believe poses a more serious threat to him? >> i think the work that has been done in manhattan, which began with our investigation, our trip to the supreme court to access his tax returns and ultimately the indictment of his company, then the indictment of mr. trump by my successor, is -- is an important and was a serious chapter in holding the former president accountable for his misconduct. this indictment, however, stands i think in a different magnitude. the quality of the evidence, the volume of the evidence, the severity of the evidence, this is not a hush money -- however you view hush money payments, and i don't know how one would answer that question, national security secrets, battle plans, material that is obviously extremely sensitive, the disclosure of that an

those are obviously longer term projects. mr. moulton: i think the american people want to see those returns so we say, we invested billions of dollars here and this is what we got. thank you, mr. chairman. chair nehls: mr. moulton yields. i now recognize mr. burchett for five minutes. mr. burchett: thank you, mr. chairman. members. you attempted to take over union station leases which cost hundreds of millions of dollars with benefit returns. you forced unwanted routes with questionable standards and guaranteed annual losses. what's y'all's projected annual operating loss, mr. gardner? mr. gardner: for this year a little bit more than $800 million. that's down significantly from the prior year and the year before. mr. burchett: yes, sir. according to amtrak's five-year plan for fiscal year 2022-2027, fiscal years, excuse me, amtrak expects to lose $1 billion per year. do you think amtrak will be cutting expenses or increasing ticket bryces to address -- prices to aaddress its operating losses? mr. gardner: we've done both. you c

mr. putin's in power. i think most russians -- i mean, a million to 2 million have left since the war began, and they obviouslyhe, according to opinion polls, he's maintained apart are from september when there was an attempted mobilization when his support plunged by 30 to 40% overnight, he's maintained support and, of course, polls in a society like russia are not -- are not completely by any means trustworthy. he seems to have support of 80% roughly of russians up to now. so no, i'm not particularly surprised and i do think that some of what based on my month in russia, some of what i've been reading and hearing about putin being irrevocably undermined, putin being on the way out. putin being in deep trouble. yeah, this was an uncomfortable little incident to say the least, but i would be very cautious with thinking that we are close to the end of vladimir putin. >> so is your implication that prigozhin misread the situation or do you buy his statement that he was worry that russia was killing its own people and he was just doing this as a protest. he never meant this as a coup? >> i think he's been very an
