mr. stewart: mr. speaker, i'm prepared to close. some my colleagues believe congress should go above and beyond the fourth amendment and institute additional safeguards how the government handles any u.s. personal information that may be incidentally collected under section 702. while the varying committees may have different ideas how to strike the right balance between additional privacy measures and national security, the art of the compromise brings us to the current junction. under s. 139 if the bill conducts a u.s. person query into its database during a criminal investigation not related to national security, and conducts a section 702 communication, the f.b.i. must obtain an order from the fisa court prior to assessing the content of the communication. the committee does not believe that such an order is necessary under the fourth amendment, but it is adding more protections as a matter of policy to address unfounded concerns by opponents of section 702 that the authority's being used to investigate u.s. people. proponents o

mr. stewart: mr. speaker, i rise today in support of s. 139. on january 19, the fisa amendments acts of 2008 will expire. this vital legislation includes section 702 which permits the government to target foreign citizens located overseas to obtain foreign intelligence information. section 702 is one of the most if not the most critical national security tool used by our intelligence community to obtain intelligence on foreign terrorists located overseas. now, some claim 702 vacuums bulk information without due regard to the intended target. this assertion is simply false. 702 is a targeted program with roughly 106,000 foreign targets worldwide. given the worldwide population is about 7.5 billion, this program can hardly be described as bulk collection. section 702 targets spies, terrorists, weapons proliferators and other foreign adversaries who threaten the united states and locating them is crucial to protecting our troops and our homeland. was example, haji imman located via section 702 and later removed from the battlefield. while the vast

mr. stewart. mr. stewart: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the bill, s. 139. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. stewart: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. stewart: mr. speaker, i rise today in support of s. 139. on january 19, the fisa amendments acts of 2008 will expire. this vital legislation includes section 702 which permits the government to target foreign citizens located overseas to obtain foreign intelligence information. section 702 is one of the most if not the most critical national security tool used by our intelligence community to obtain intelligence on foreign terrorists located overseas. now, some claim 702 vacuums bulk information without due regard to the intended target. this assertion is simply false. 702 is a targeted program with roughly 106,000 foreign targets worldwide. given the

mr. stewart. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. stewart: mr. speaker, before i begin i want to emphasize how dismayed i am by the amount of disinformation being propagated by opponents of section 702. i heard some things over the last couple days and i just wonder how in the world could someone believe that. let me tell you why this amendment must be opposed. under the u.s. rights act, intelligence community would not be able to query the name of a suspected terrorist supported in the united states to see if he's in direct contact with recruiters. it would not be able to query a name in the united states who is approaching people with security clearances to see if that person is part of a foreign espionage network. we would not be able to query the name of a registered owner of a suspicious vehicle in front of the national monument to see if he's in contact with operatives oversees. and query someone after a casualty attack in the united states to see if he has terrorist connections. or to follow on its poe -- potential to follow on if attacks

mr. stewart's community or any other.on't know him personally and feel he's being used by people who have an agenda and it's not what's in his best interest or kentucky or that of america, for that matter. i find it insulting people would hijack those in need for their own personal benefit. it's a shame. we expected there would be lawsuits. this is what liberals do. they rub -- run to the courts and try to find like-minded people and run things up the flag pole in hopes of a victory. law is on our side and human dignity is on our side and kentucky and america will be better for is. >> martha: you use the word dignity in terms of supporting the program. we heard nancy pelosi use it in complaining about the program and everyone wants what you want for the people returning dignity and giving them a chance to better their own lives. thank you for being with us. >> can i say one quick thing. i grew up well below the poverty level with no access to health care. i'm literally the embodiment of exactly what she was speaking, what

mr macron reportedly replied "i agree. "let's do it. " to let stewart. —— let's do it. isjoel kibazo, who is a partner atjk associates and a former director of communications at africa development bank. thank you forjoining us once again. the shutdown, we do not know if it is going to happen. i was talking to a journalist from the wall street journal, he thought that it was going to happen, which rather ties in donald trump's message that yes, this is the real. another day, another drama out of washington, it seems really that that is all we should expect from the capital of the world's is power. this time to do with the shutdown. it has happened before, will it happen? who knows? this is brinkmanship and don't forget, donald trump is a business person who likes to go right to the edge and make sure that something happens, and so i don't know this is just brinkmanship or if there is a shutdown. if there is a shutdown, we are of course looking at consequences. we have had the numbers about the employees that will have to leave but more importantly, it is the uncertainty,

mr. hatch is able to do that. david: congressman chris stewart. happy new year. thank you for being here. appreciate it.little cold weather isn't going to stand between these americans and their new year's tradition. david: that is crazy. gerri: that is crazy. ... whoooo. when it comes to travel, i sweat the details. late checkout... ...down-alternative pillows... ...and of course, price. tripadvisor helps you book a... ...hotel without breaking a sweat. because we now instantly... ...search over 200 booking sites ...to find you the lowest price... ...on the hotel you want. don't sweat your booking. tripadvisor. the latest reviews. the lowest prices. gerri: not letting a little arctic blast get in the way more than a thousand swimmers defying the bitter cold leaping into the ocean for the annual polar bear plunge. david: it's crazy when it's 50 degrees but the temperature was about 15 degrees when the swimmers did this, of course there's no telling how many of those people were actually still high from the night before. gerri: or how many are still living. how many of those are still living i could not

mr. president, they won't. they are looking to set a trap for you as they did with general flynn and papadopoulos and martha stewart. kennedy: i think that's exactly what they are going to do. i'll talk with buck sexton about that later. i want to get back to this 25th amendment issue. it goes to show the politicization and separation and the foment and desire to undo the results of an election that half of the country feels was unjust. is there anything the president can do at this point to just simply govern, to simply lead. >> give hip cell phone to general kelly, that might help. and talk about the economy. i happen to think we are heading toward a bubble. but right now it's roaring and people are going back to work and staying in their jobs. kennedy: you can't have this kind of spending and tax cuts and expect to sustain the growth. they have to cut spending if they are going to have meaningful long-term. >> you are preach together concerted on that. if you serve four years and i believe he will. $25 trillion in debt. $1 trillion a year in debt service. what is $1 trillion a year? 40% of federal tax revenue go

stewart has always been a way of life. it is one of the largest and oldest is mrs.at originated within the african-american community and for many years, for 26 years now, it has been a place for a lot of these women who do a lot of good for their families, communities, and this country. a place where they could be pampered a bit and seek some friendship and get some strength. >> it is clear you feel a connection with the customer. ashley stewart is not a real person. it is a mashup of laura ashley and martha stewart. your most loyal customers at the company are plus size women. you as a korean american former theerson, how do you make connection and make this brand relatable to your customer when you do not fit the profile? anyone who is a plus size black woman was not -- would not necessarily fit the profile at first glance, but it is an interesting gap you are filling here. one of the things janet wrote so well in the article, it reminded me of my mother. it woman who did a lot for me and our family, she immigrated here at it was not easy for her. she overcame a

i guess that's for you, congressman stewart since congressman duffy isn't on the committee. >> it's just nonsense. i had this conversation with mr. schiff a few days ago. be clear about one thing when we talk about doj or fbi, we aren't talking about the body, they're dedicated public servants. we're talking about a few of the very senior officials within the fbi and doj. the fact you work for the fbi doesn't mean no one in that organization is above question. that one of them are beyond reproach. we have a responsibility to provide oversight. when they do something unethical and potentially illegal, violates the trust of the american people, for heaven sakes we have a responsibility to pursue that. you can't say, well you can't attack the fbi, you can't attack doj, that's silliness. when he refers to us protecting mr. trump, that's the thing that i react to most emotionally. it's just simply not true. it's just a diversion that we see things here, that trouble us. >> laura: congressman duffy before we let you go, i'll ask a simple question. rod rosenstein is the deputy attorney general, he was named deputy attorney general by j

mr. reinhart: the visit continued after the excitement of the big race was done. he died each day at it -- dined each day at a different house. ,r. george stewart brother-in-law of william diggs, who lived about 10 miles outside of town on the south river. john, secretary of the former governor horatio sharpe, charles carroll, perhaps the wealthiest man in town with a sprawling house overlooking spa creek. at the home of the impressively named daniel of st. thomas jenifer, although where he was living, he had a beautiful house in the next year that he purchased. where he was living this year is unknown to me. each evening, he attended a play or a ball, and sometimes both. on his homeward journey, he overnighted again to tulip hill, arriving at mount vernon on the ofte afternoon. he picked up architectural ideas. certainly gained or strengthened social and political connections that would aid him in the upcoming revolution, but it lost at cards. 13 pounds, four shillings. ome, lose -- win s some. he lodged with governor robert eden. he lived in the big, impressive house, now lost, but somewhat documented before demolition. the scale of the large

nick saban, agentic director gregg burns, president stewart bell, and chancellor ray hayes for their leadership. at this time, i would like to call up, mr. president, and adopt the senate resolution by unanimous consent commemorating the university of alabama crimson tide on this 17th college national football title. that's resolution 375, i believe. i ask consent that the senate proceed to the consideration of this resolution. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: senate resolution 375, congratulating the university of alabama crimson tide football team for winning the 2018 national collegiate athletic association college football play-off national championship. mr. shelby: i ask unanimous consent that the proceedings be dispensed with. the presiding officer: is there objection to proceeding to the measure? mr. shelby: i ask unanimous consent -- the presiding officer: without objection. mr. shelby: i ask unanimous consent that the motion be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, with no intervening action or debate. the presiding officer: is ther

stewart, you mentioned the difference between quantitative and qualititive. i'd like you to talk about that as to how it relates to how election officials might conduct that type of analysis. mr. scorpel lo, you analyzed a lot of data. how would they go about analyzing that data? >> real quickly because i'm really interested in the answer to the second question. certainly, look, the advantage of quantifying things is it is a different way, a mass way of moving in a wholesale manner in management. the qualitative data by which i think the question implies talking to people fills in why it is that you might have a problem here or a problem there and certainly, again, like any sort of management tool, that there's a variety of ways approaching the data that are certainly going to be powerful. >> i will say your office is not huge, maybe smaller than the eac. only about 45 people? >> we are probably the smallest elections office per capita in the country. we only have 28 employees to serve the population of 2 million people in 20,000 square miles. the important thing is to get buy-in from management to get the county invest in analytics. to participate on a national level from se

stewart you mentioned the difference between quantitative and qualitative. so i'd like you to talk about that a bit as it relates to how li election officials might do that type of analysis. and mr. scarpello you mentioned you collected a lot of data and analyzed it. how would you encourage local election officials to analyze that data? how did you do that? how would they go about analyzing that data? >> just quickly because i'm interested in the answer to the second question. i mean, certainly -- well, look, the advantage of quantifying things is that it's very efficient way of in a mass way identifying problems and moving in wholesale manner in management. the qualitative data by which i think the question implies talking to people about what's up fills in why it is that you might have a problem here or there. and certainly like any sort of management tool, that there is a variety of ways of approaching the data that are certainly going to be powerful. but i want to hear how they actually got to do this great stuff in san bernardino. >> and i have to say your office is not small, we only have about 25 people. >> we are probably the smallest elections office per capita in the c

because stewart parnell, the ceo of pca, knew that the peanut products were c contaminated with salmonella when he told the plant manager to, quote, turn them loose. at that same hearing i confronted mr. parnell with this container, and i ask him whether he was willing to take the lid off and eat any of these products now since he was so cavalier about turning it loose on little kids like jake to eat? he refused, of course, citing his fifth amendment rights. thankfully, jake overcame his illness and it was great to see him last year. he's now a young teenager. he and his dad came back to visit us. more than 600 people in 44 states were sickened and unlike jake, nine people died. as a result, mr. parnell is currently serving a 28-year sentence in prison for his actions. while this case of pca is the exception and not the rule, fortunately, food borne illnesses remain a major concern. chairman harper just ran through those numbers. each year 48 million people are sickened and 3,000 die from food borne illnesses and federal oversight of food safety has been on the account are government accountability office's high-risk list since 2007 and just in the past few months, dozens of people i
