mr. schultz' grandson. the only e-mail on this topic i want to see from you going forward is an apology. tyler responded with his two-weeks' notice and says he went to meet with his grandfather. >> tyler tried to make him realize that this was a fraud, and his grandfather had sided with elizabeth moment and didn't belie believe him. >> my grandfather said they were being used in medevac helicopters. >> did he tell you who told him that? >> he didn't say who told him that, but i have a really good guess. >> reporter: realizing his grandfather's allegiance to elizabeth was strong, tyler put his trust in the journal. but it wasn't long before elizabeth and theranos became aware of tyler's secret conversations with the paper. >> my dad said they know. you're totally [ bleep ]. t had . we needed a second opinion. that's when our journey began with cancer treatment centers of america. stnsashow are we going to address my liver? so my doctor said i think we can do both surgeries together. i loved that. now my heal

mr. cohen: i'm not aware of that. ms. wasserman schultz: was mr. stone a free agent reporting what he had done or was he an agent of the campaign acting on behalf of the president and with his apparent authority? agenthen: he was a free ms. wasserman schultz:. that was reporting back to the president what he had done? mr. cohen: he frequently reached out to mr. trump and mr. trump was very happy to take his calls. it was free service. ms. wasserman schultz: roger stone and says he never spoke with mr. trump about wikileaks. how can we corroborate what you're saying? mr. cohen: i suspect the special counsel's office and other government agencies have the information you are seeking. ms. wasserman schultz: moving onto a little bit later in 2017. a major wikileaks dump happened after the access hollywood tape is released. are you aware of mr. trump coordinating or signaling for this emailed dump? mr. cohen: i'm unaware of that. i was not even in the country of the time of the billy bush tape. i was in london visiting my daughter. ms. wasserman schultz:

mr. schultz emphasized, we do believe that peer review is important.they have references to the flow west model that has never boo been peer reviewed, but you have to look at what the state waterboard says because ultimately they're the decider here. and the staff resolution included some language about the delta and is trying to avoid the water that san francisco provides being diverted in the delta and going down to southern calgary and westlands. but unfortunately, the language in the re resolution doesn't work to accomplish that time, but i'm hoping to work with you to try to finesse that over time. one, we do have biological targets. two, i think setting the water supply... [buzzer] [inaudible question] [inaudible] >> chairwoman: thank you for your comments. the next speaker is conrad fisher. >> on conrad fisher on behalf of water climate trust. i want to protect the water supplies and provides scientifically high probability for the recovery of salmon and other endangered and threatened species. and finally, that protects the human right to water

mr. schultz supports that budget buster and then in the house, we also made some common sense changes to save medicaid, that also reduces the deficit considerably. unfortunately, that didn't make it through the senate. we still think there's ways that we can address some of the automatic spending and save those programs as we do them. >> congressman, another question for you. it is not so much -- i think everyone on this panel will think that cutting taxes is terrific. the question is spending. spending is up 8.8%, the first four months of the fiscal year. what are we going to do to address this sf. >> yeah. i think you hit it. look, we really don't have a revenue problem in washington. we have a spending problem. part of that honestly is we made a big commitment last year to rebuild our military for the first time in 15 years so look, i will accept that but the spending is up too far across the board and it's really in the automatic spending. it's in our social security, medicare, medicaid, welfare type systems and there, both parties are going to have to work together to address these

mr. schultz does have a point that we always point the blame or point the finger of both parties should maybeis a little better. >> i think he does have a point. president trump is actually tried to push the republican party into spending less and he didn't want to deal with one of those monstrosity bills that comes at the end of the cycle with all this spending. or frankly republicans come appropriators in the senate and the house kept spending. >> he's been the guy in the past that something great with debt and that kind of thing. you wonder how much -- if this is really a priority for the president. you think it is? >> i think it's becoming one. more and more republicans realizing this is a major threat to our economic prosperity and frankly a national security threat in the future if we don't get our house in order. and on top of that coming you see these new progressive democrat coming up with even more wild pending plans like the debt repayment when you were just talking about where we're going to make medicare for all to pay for all of the health care free college tuition. it is almost

mr. malinowski: i yield two minutes. ms. wasserman schultz: thank you. i thank the gentleman for yield. except in rare circumstances -- yielding. except in rare circumstances, this would rev kate visas. right now the people of venezuela are enduring an unimaginable onslaught of hunger, preventable medical dangers and escalating economic pain. we cannot stand idly by while putin assists maduro in carrying this inhumane and barbaric tragedy. this will make it harder for the kremlin to outfit maduro with weapons of oppression. this bill will also alout united states to monitor and minimize -- allow the united states to monitor and minimize the threat russia poses to the entire region. restoring democracy to venezuela will not happen overnight. no single action alone could bring it about. but combined with the strong umanitarian add and military exploit bills, the russia-venezuelan threat mitigation act will help provide the solution this tragedy needs. the venezuelan people, including my friends and neighbors back home, desperately need this relief. mr. speaker, i have had real stories of

mr. speaker. ms. wasserman schultz: i rise today to mourn the passing of a dear friend and remarkable professional, steve. as c.e.o. of port everglades, he saw the largest expansion in the port's history and helped fort everglades grow to weekend forecast the number one cruise port in the country. he had a vision for the port and he was an incredibly dedicated public servant. he loved his work, community, and family. he was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, and took any opportunity to share how proud he was of his grandchildren, often sharing photos of them before meetings to which i can personally attest. his professionalism was unmatched and i am grateful for his uncaferinge commitment to keeping americans safe. although steve is no longer with us, his legacy will live on through the institution he helpedpropel into the leading port in our nation. steve was a selfless, compassionate, and tireless public servant and he will be profoundly missed but never forgeten. thank you, i yield back the balance of my tim

one of the earlier members, i believe it was miss wasserman schultz, said 90% of drugs captured are captured at points of entry. and mr. higgins disagreed with that, but let's assume for a second that miss wasserman schultz is right. does it surprise you that drugs are captured where there's actually law enforcement personnel? >> no, sir. no surprise at all. >> that's common sense. wow, we are actually capturing drugs where there are law enforcement personnel at the ports of entry. but we're also capturing some where there aren't ports of entry. and my guess is, call me just some common sense guy from western ohio, my guess is a lot of drugs are moving across the border where there aren't any good guys to stop them, right? >> that's correct. >> yeah. and hence the reason we need a barrier -- hence the reason we need some kind of border security wall to help with that situation, to deal with this crisis that's all over our country as the director points out. would you agree with that, mr. mcdaniel? >> i would agree with that. >> that's just good common sense. so this argument that, oh, most of the drugs seized are at p

mr. kasich, exceeding i don't voice today. i want to thank you chairwoman rep. debbie wasserman schultz and for holding this hearing and welcome assistant secretary mcmahon and deputy assistant secretary. i am very sorry for missing your testimony but i want to make it clear in my judgment the president's phony national emergency declaration and his decision to rob essential military construction funding provided by this committee in an -- and enacted by congress are a direct assault on the constitution and it must not stand. my question is, funding appropriated by congress for the specific purpose of supporting our military and their families should be used as direct, not for construction of a wall. deputy assistant secretary, why is building a border wall more important than supporting our military and their families? and assistant secretary mcmahon, this committee provided on time a substantial full-year military construction budget to the department of defense. why is the vast majority of more than $11 billion in military construction still unobligated? we can hear from the deputy a

one of the earlier members, i've least miss wasserman schultz said 90% of drugs captured are captured at ports of entry. mr. higgins disagreed with that. let's assume for a second that miss wasserman schultz is right. does it surprise you that drugs are captured where there are law-enforcement personnel? >> no sir. no surprise at all. >> that is common sense. wow, we are actually capturing drugs where there are law- enforcement personnel. but we are also capturing some whether or not ports of entry. my guess is that, there is common sense there. a lot of drugs are moving across the border where there aren't any good guys to stop them, right? >>> that is correct. >>> hence the reason we need a barrier. we need some kind of border security wall to help with the situation, to deal with the crisis that is all over our country. would you agree with that? >> i would agree with that. >> that is common sense. this argument that most of the drugs seized are at ports of entry, well for goodness sakes, that is where we have law- enforcement right there. that is going to happen. but of course there all kinds of bad th

mr. bloomberg has come to the same conclusion. joining me now colin reed, a gop strategist and ty master, great guys, both of you. let me start with you, colin. howard schultzomberg, but doesn't it also show mike bloomberg came to the conclusion he couldn't win? >> it was an interesting analogy for him to draw. there is no room for centrists in the democratic party. it's why howard schultz, a life long democrat had to run as an independent because there was no room for him in the party. i think we'd be kidding ourselves if we thought major bloomberg was not going to play an influence in this campaign season. he's just gonna do it on the outside. with his unlimited funds, he can have an impact. it will be interesting to see if my democratic friends decry the influence of so called dark money being spent on their behalf. >> dana: it depends on where you sit, i guess. this is what he said. until 20201 our only real hope for progress lies outside of washington. unlike most who are running or thinkingist, i'm fortunate enough to be in a position to devote the resources needed to bring people together and make a big difference. is he giving an indication that he

jim baker and george schultz, martin feldstein, rex tillerson have all proposed a carbon tax, would you favor a carbon tax? i know many of you said all things should be on the table, mr. smith? >> no. >> i would not. >> we would consider. >> an increase in the fuel tax is a common tax. we would have to see the details of it. >> i love the irish. >> we would have to see the details of it before we would commit. >> i think one of the most important things that this committee can do and i can tell the frustration, a common practice here in congress is that often times these issues are debated. there is no one on this bias that doesn't understand the urgency right now of funding an infrastructure program. there isn't a person here when asked to to raise their hand that funding infrastructure will do it but when it comes to paying for it everyone heads for the exit. what you ought to be insisting on and several of us have said if you vote no you shouldn't be able to take the dough. that is what happens too often appear. as you construct a compromise or you construct an opportunity to move forward, which ever mode that is, there ought to be some responsibility back on this
