mr. smith: thank you. mr. speaker, the united states and the world's response to the tiananmen square massacre 30 years ago, and the massive crackdown that was unleashed after that, because of that weak response, has enabled unrelenting and pervasive human rights abuses ever since. had we been strong and predictable and said that human rights matter, if we -- had we linked -- linked it to most favored nation status and stuck to, it we would have had a different china today that at least more than it does today would have respected the rule of law and human rights. we cannot recommit that mistake by being weak and vacillating in the face of this terrible, terrible attack on the people of hong kong. and on their autonomy. remember, what we're asking the leaders in hong kong and beijing to do is just honor your promises. you made solemn promises that you are violating now with inpumity -- impunity. we have to be very clear. that if we enable that, if we look the other way or look askance, we become unwittenly per

mrs. hyde-smith: mr. president, reserving the right to object. legislation that would affect the rights of american citizens under the second amendment should not be fast tracked by the senate. efforts to criminalize otherwise lawful conduct with firearms by law-abiding gun owners should not be exempt from consideration by the appropriate committee of jurisdiction. it should not be exempt from debate on the senate floor. if this so-called commonsense bipartisan legislation was indeed crafted with strong bipartisan input, it shouldn't have any problems advancing by regular order. many questions about this legislation need to be answered before it's forced upon law-abiding gun owners. if i wanted to give my best friend's son or grandson my hunting rifle, would we first have to appear before a licensed gun dealer and go through a lengthy and potentially expensive background check? this is my understanding. we have many questions like this. my constituents would like to have an opportunity to weigh in on our measures like these, which is why we can't

i yield three minutes to the gentleman from missouri, mr. smith. rep. smith: our country is in a period of markable growth. the policies of president trump in the previous public and congress made a bet on american workers, who make up the strongest workforce in the world, but it concerns me when we see our competitors continue to attract investment at lower or 0% rates. we need to ensure our monetary policy bets on our workers as well. since president trump's election , the united states has made waves. we have the lowest unemployment in 50 years, with black and hispanic unemployment at record lows, 6.4 million new jobs have been created, wages are growing, and president trump's savedlation effort have the average american family $3100 in household income. we must promise to continue acting both fiscal and monetary policy that works for folks back home. would you agree that during the last three years, our country has seen economic advances that help low income americans? chair powell: yes, i do think that as this expansion has continued, we started to

mr. harvey smith, from taryn edwards with the mechanics institute, and a host of other people there. so the enthusiasm and support that you have all demonstrated in all of that -- and as we deliberated, we would take a look -- again, two things that we need to resolve together, the cost and the location. and again, should this be outside? and again, the location will inform on the cost. if you're putting something outside, you need to think about the maintenance and all of those elements. and if you're putting it inside, what about the food traffic and all of those? so that's basically the kind of work that we would like to develop. our infrastructure, landscape, we've received the highest lead of any development in the world, so it really shows us here, working on this thing meticulously so at the end of the day, it will be that destination that all of you envisioned. thank you all again for your presence today. >> just a couple quick questions on the construction. i imagine if it's installed and it's going to have water, it's going to be heavier. is that going to affect constructio

. >> i agree i think, you any, again, and there is a quote from mr. smithnding to that in terms of challenging salzburger to a debate on that, in terms of fedex's tax bill, particularly as it had the impact, it had for so many others the tax act itself of minimizing the future liability, not completely clear how the times came to their numbers, but, carl, i agree with you, the larger takeaway cited in a number of different places in the story was simply that rates are lower than had been anticipated, even under the tax bill and that the expected benefit in terms of capital investment has not really been there. we all know we're facing trillion dollar deficits in part as a result of that tax bill itself, jim. and the question is was it really worth it given we don't seem to have seen an appreciable increase in capital investment over time. >> well, look, i think the issue here is the 6 million shares that he bought back. which is something that people are saying, over and over again, the critics of this, they'll just go to buy back stock, they're not going t

mr. cline smith and what he did here.ok an email from an official at another federal agency that contained several factual assertions. then added material to the bottom that looked like another assertion from the email's author when, it was, instead, his own understanding. mr. clinesmith include compiled for another official to read in signing an affidavit that would be submitted to the court attesting to the facts and analysis in the wiretap application. obviously we are going to learn a whole lot more why do you think we are getting this now? >> well so, why we are getting this now is there are certain individuals that are named in this report and criticized in this report together with folks at the department of justice that have seen it. i think some of these are peremptory to try to shape the message coming out of this report. my understanding this report is it's going to be very critical of not only the carter page fisa but also the fisa process generally. so, you know, i also think the american people have watched

mr. smith's retort to them as well.atlanta because colin kaepernick apparently jay-z and the nfl had said up essentially an audition. ainsley: try-out. steve: for him to show that he was still in great playing shape. apparently all the teams were going to go see him. at the last minute he changed the conveniently you to a high school 60 miles away to make it open to all media because the nfl said no to having media present. only 8 of 25 teams did show up. ainsley: people are questioning does he really want to try out or does he just want the press. pete: what are the motives? if you want to play in the nfl and the nfl has given a specific day at a stadium to do a tryout. 25 teams physically in attendance. the nfl is going to film it to send to all 32 teams. steve: sounds great. >> have his own wide receivers essentially not done. allowed to have a nike camera crew on the field to film a commercial while he is trying out. none of that is good enough because he insisted the media be inside. at the last minute he drove 60

mr. roy. smith thank you mr. ken cuccinelli thank you for coming up and visiting us with today. i will reiterate what i said in the hearing last week that our continued prayers are with the family of chairman cummings and with his staff. we had a great event last week and i was honored to participate in that and we will continue to move forward in this committee carrying forward the chairman's legacy with wanting to do what is right. i do want to say one thing as we head into this that will not surprise the chairman on this issue that currently there are two depositions going on and those depositions at least two are scheduled today in what is going on now. another part of the capital it's impossible for me to be in two places at once saw sitting with this subcommittee that want to commit to my responsibility to do that. i'm unable to easily catch up with and i don't think that's right were to carry out things and apparently there will be a vote tomorrow on this process but i would suggest this is part of the problem. anybody watching this is the problem with this current broken
