mr. scott: yes, mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include any extraneous material on the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. scott: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. and i rise in strong support of h.r. 4489. and what this bill does is it provides an excellent example, again, of the strong bipartisan work that can be accomplished through the agriculture committee and, first, i want to applaud and thank representative schrier and lamalfa for working together to get this legislation to the floor and consideration today by the full house. now mr. speaker, we know that there are significant needs for investment in restoration and recovery work on our great national forests. and our bill this morning allows the forest service to keep interest on settlement funds and apply these additional resources to restoration work on forest service land that has been damaged

mr. scott: mr. president, since being elected to the united states senate about three years ago, i have spoken often about the dangers presented by communist china. i have not been alone in this. colleagues on both sides of the aisle, republicans, democrats and independents in this body have been vocal about the threats we face from general secretary xi and his communist regime. while we may not always agree on the solutions to the problems caused by communist china, i feel we are united in the truth. the good people of china are being brutally oppressed, sensorsed, -- censored and manipulated by the chinese communist party, a regime that wants nothing more than to dominate the world and ex-continuing wish the democratic values and freedoms we stand for. their actions have made this clear to freedom loving people across the world. one of the china's most recognizable athletes is a three-time olympian and ranked a number one player by the world tennis association. she won championships and represente

this is about a republican congressman named scott perry. mr. perry was finding ways to exert pressure on the justice department. he introduced trump to mr. clark, the acting head of the department's civil division who became one of the stop the steal movement's most ardent supporters. then after christmas, perry called donahue to share his voter fraud dossier which focused on unfounded election fraud claims in pennsylvania. pennsylvania counted their votes at least three times. there was no fraud there. that's where rudy suffered some of -- hard to figure out what's most humiliating when you're talking about rudy, but some of his most humiliating rebukes were from the suits he brought in pennsylvania. there was no fraud in pennsylvania. what is the sort of legal lens on a member of congress introducing someone who was a stated in public advocate for firing the top of the justice department officials because they wouldn't carry out donald trump's will to fabricate fraud in georgia and pennsylvania and other places. what would garland look at if

scott for many years. but he had contacts with mr. clark at the doj and mr.ushing this election fraud narrative. so i think he has a problem. i think what is more interesting, this seems to be anyway so unprecedented. i've not seen a situation where members of congress have been actually asked to testify. and i suspect that scott, i don't know what he's going to do, i suspect he will not come in voluntarily. with the committee then subpoena him, which would be, again, extraordinary, and i think unprecedented, i don't know the last time a member of congress was subpoenaed to testify before a house committee. so i think we're kind of in an unchartered place here. and i do think that, you know, scott's got something to worry about here given the level of interaction he had with clark and meadows during the time of the insurrection. >> and also unprecedented would be sitting members of congress trying to overthrow election results if that is in fact what happens. it may call for separate measures. congressman kennedy, back to you within second here and give you a

mr. all in, so that sounds very interesting to me. >> thank you, scott. i appreciate you starting with me i will take the explanation that everyone is putting out there that it is a hedge for worse and that's the explanation for yesterday that's fine, but i don't think that's the right takeaway if i go back three months ago, four months ago the consensus is that it won't be three rate hikes in 2022 and maybe they won't. i know there's a body of people out there who think that the fed will never raise interest rates. i've heard the argument and the degree of certainty has to be low, but i have to go with what the fed says they're going to do they've clearly run out of patience and whether it's supply chain bottlenecks or unemployment benefits. if the fed is getting more aggressive. >> yeah. >> or at least less accommodative. i have to tell you, based on my decades of experience that's a bad thing for the market >> it depends how aggressive they get certain stocks maybe hit more than others, right if you come on today and you said because this policy is mor

scott quickly. just in your expert opinion, was it irresponsible the way mr. baldwin was handling the gun in that instance of not -- excuse me, not putting the hammer slow by back and just releasing the hammer? >> in my opinion he mishandled the gun. >> what should he have done? >> he should have checked the weapon to make sure it was absolutely a cold weapon. that's the first mistake of his. and then him pulling the weapon -- the hammer back and asking halyna about how far back and did she want to see that, that's not what you do on set. you're told what is required of you in the scene. you rehearse it, you go through it with camera, and then you shoot it. what he's describing to me is not good safety. >> joey, what do you make of this? >> there's a reason that attorneys say to their clients not to speak, and i guess there's a public relations imperative because he wants to get out ahead of this, and i'm sure he feels miserable, but you set yourself up for disaster when you do something like this, why? there's two tracks and sarah indicated what they are. the

mr. clark as acting attorney general. end quote. and here's the thing. scott has risen in rank and power as he's grown in note right ty. despite his incendiary actions, he has been elected to the house freedom caucus, and former members are jim jordan and mark meadows both targets in the january 6th investigation. but these are the kinds of people who make up the mainstream of the republican party in congress these days. members are rewarded for outrageous behavior, while dodging accountability for their actions. in a letter focused on everything but his role on january 6th, perry has already said that he will not cooperate with the committee. regardless it's becoming increasingly apparent that he's got some explaining to do. picking up the pieces of president biden's build back better bill, democrats are still determines whether there are any aspects of bill that they will be able to pass. we will speak to house representative susan wild about it when we come back. t it when we come back try nervivef from the world's #1 selling nerve care company. nervive con

. >> thank you we'll go to scott horsley at "mpr." >> thanks, mr. chairman. i think you said a few minutes ago that the inflation that we got during the pandemic was not the inflation that you anticipated when you crafted the framework, and you described it as a collision of a lot of monetary and fiscal stimulus with these supply-side hiccups does that mean the stimulus was mistaken or is the inflation just a consequence that we have to put up with because of that? >> no. i'm not expressing any judgment about the stimulus in that comment. what i'm saying is there's a sense among some that you wanted inflation, this is what you wanted, how do you like it and the truth is this is not the inflation that what we were talking about in the framework was inflation that comes from a tight labor market we had 3.5% unemployment for a period, and we had inflation that was just barely getting to 2% i think in that setting, our thinking was we can afford to wait to raise rates until we see actual inflation rather than preempted. no one had seen what 3.5% unemployment woul

mr. all in just as the market starts to take off, jim. what gives >> scott, you are incorrigible, my friend. don't give me any credit for that -- >> i mean, it's the facts. the facts are the facts. >> 99% of this run, but okay all right. listen, here's what's going to happen we're having this end of year run. i have already started to trim and next week i will start to trim i think the market's going to go higher next year, but these are the facts. wooe up 29% year to date we're up 21% on average the last two years. 17% over the last ten years. guy, that just can't continue and what's the catalyst that brings it down it's really simple it's just that the fed has turned a little hawkish. nobody needs to lose their mind about it i'm not losing my mind about it, but next week i'll trim some apple. >> you're not losing your mind, but you may lose some money. you're not losing your mind, but you may lose some money. the ball's going to drop in times square and jay powell will drop interest rates? >> here's what i think will happen you can listen to me and learn s

. >> senator scott from south carolina. >> thank you mr. chairman and ranking member for holding the hearing this morning and thank you to the guests for being with us. thinking about the conversation i had over thanksgiving about the consequences of elections and over and over again elections have consequences we've heard. perhaps no finer point van elections have consequences is simply losing a single seatos in georgia, january 5th. f as a result of one lost his st in georgia may cost taxpayers just this year $5 trillion in additional spending. one single seat, $5 trillion of additional spending. 1.9 trillion on a covid relief package that had 1% for vaccines and less than 9% for covid related health, 1.2 trillion for infrastructure package with only 10% of the $1.2 trillion going into the roads and bridges in the next five years and now we are talking about overheating of the economy with another $2 trillion. elections have consequences. what i've heard of this morning is hard to process back at home in south carolina. if the administrat

scott perry's cooperation. the chair writes, then-president trump considered appointing jeffrey clark as acting attorney general, as mrhis department of justice superiors to use agency authorities to challenge election results. we have received evidence from multiple witnesses that you had an important role in the efforts to install mr. clark as acting attorney general. perry responded this morning saying, quote, i decline this entity's request and will continue to fight the failures of the radical left." tonight the committee is indicating a firm response to perry's resistance. we will talk about it in a moment with adam schiff. it is a sign of how serious it is getting. as "the new york times" reported last night the committee is considering recommending that donald trump himself face criminal charges. adam schiff of california is a member of the house select committee. he also is the lead impeachment manager in donald trump's first impeachment and he joins me now. congressman, first let's talk about congressman scott perry. obviously this is interesting, and i feel like almost uncharted waters. i'm trying to wrack

mr. all in jim labenthol loves that name and he's been very accurate on it. that's one i was trading, scott. i was trading a couple of the airlines again for the first time in a long time. delta and american, but, again, for trades literally day trades in those. nclh and ccl, as well. but those were, again, trades. most of those i have exited already today, scott some of them had nice moves whether you want to view that as reopening or things catching up. but as far as holding anything right now, the only one of those names that i still hold right here is roku on the day. >> these are undoubtedly reacting to that positive pfizer news that we got today some of the names that we just showed up. the cruise lines and the other travel names let's take a quick break we'll come back. i'll tell you about a bullish call on the worst performing dow component this year. we'll debate if you should add it now to your portfolio we're back now in two minutes. — , that makes you — are you asking if i'm 85 years old? i mean sea turtles live to 150, so...nn — i — i was not. do i look 85? what! no! you, you l

mr. trump's effort to overturn the election. they are jim jordan, andy biggs, paul gosar, louie gome mart, mo brooks and scott perry. all of them remained silent today. here is a text from someone in congress the day after the attack on the capitol. yesterday was a terrible day. we tried everything we could in our objection to the six states. i'm sorry nothing worked. that's the bank robber saying the day after i'm sorry that we couldn't get out of the bank with all the money. the member of congress who wrote that text is afraid tonight, days after it's been revealed, afraid to come forward and say yes, i wrote that text. i'm proud of writing that text. that text is saying i'm sorry the crime we committed yesterday, the crime of conspiracy to violate election law did not succeed in our criminal objective. yesterday congressman jim jordan was forced. let me repeat that, was forced to admit that he wrote a text that outlined a criminal conspiracy to commit election fraud and change the votes of the electoral college. jim jordan admitted that only after it had leaked to some reporters that jim jordan had wrote that tex
