mr. stewart. turning to energy, mr. stewart at the price of gasoline has , been rising steadily in the country, the average was $2.88 a gallon. the expectation is that it will rise a lot more. what should the trump administration and congress do? mr. stewart: what we have to do is not to do what tim kaine and the ultraleft have done, to try to restrict the pipeline, the keystone pipeline, and try to restrict the energy resources here in our country. we are now, get this, the united states is now the largest combined supplier of oil and gas resources on the planet. by 2022, the united states will become a net exporter of oil and gas. that is what needs to be our policy. when you do that and we're happy to have these oil resources coming out, not just from texas but from north dakota and elsewhere is that we are , bringing down not only the price of gasoline for consumers, but it is important to our national security. we no longer need to be reliant because upon oil from the mideast which has caused so many , of these unne

mr. stewart. >> good morning. i would like to begin by thanking the virginia bar association and the beautiful thert here for hosting debate. i would also like to thank my wife of 24 years, maria, and my two boys isaac and luke who are on a well-deserved fishing trip right now. for the last 12 years i have govern one of the largest, most dynamic, and one of the most diverse localities and virginia. during that time, as others have talked i have delivered. spending millions of dollars of new local funds in roadways, parks, new police, new firefighters. i have also led a very common sense crackdown on illegal aliens. the results speak for themselves. lower crime. the lowest tax bills in virginia and some of the highest economics growth rates in the country. that is what we need in washington. we don't have it right now. senator tim kaine is a nice guy but he is too liberal. he is too weak. he is done too little for the citizens of the commonwealth of virginia. we need a strong united states senator,

mr. stewart has a question. >>stewart: senator, before you ran for vice president and supported drilling off the coast, he supported restrictions on late term abortions, you supported a lot of things that you in fact the transpacific partnership and then isn't it true that when you joined the hillary clinton campaign after she told you to change your positions, you changed changed all of those positions andho others? >>kaine: no. >>stewart: not at all? >>kaine: when corey got into the race he said it would be vicious and that means make it nasty or make it up and sometimes this is an example to do all three. offshore drilling. it was the case in 2007 to doing offshore energy plan. not do it but if it is explorer if it is worthwhile. the bp oil spill was massive. localities 1.6 and six leave people supported offshore drilling changed their position local governments change their position and now all of the communities through the eastern shore oppose drilling. the dod came out the biggest pillar in march 2016 and

mr. stewart said, not only does it have to go to this commission, it also has to go to the board of supervisors, and the board of supervisors goes on recess in august. so if this does not get to the board of supervisors in a timely period, we are talking about incredible amount of delays. and with delays come additional financing costs, incurring the costs of money for these types of giant projects are very, very high. this is a great project. this is the 26th, i think, presentation. there's going to be, you know, a couple of more to the public. the outreach has been phenomenal. bridge and john stewart and company are great companies. they know how to do this work. they've been doing it really successfully for years, so i hope we can move this forward today. thank you. >> thank you. >> members of the commission, i'm janet crane, an architect working in san francisco since 1970, a neighbor of this building, 14-year board member of north beach citizens, a homeless group of this area, founder of nick's village. all this experience gives me firsthand knowledge of how difficult the housing situation

mr. stewart and the committee leaders for the hard work and -- in presenting this on the floor today. this bipartisan legislation asks the federal communications commission and substance abuse and mental health services administration to study the designation of a three-digit dial-in code, similar to 911. even 3-year-olds can remember 911. when a family is in crisis, an 00 number sometimes is difficult to remember. suicide prevention and mental crisis health line system makes it all american because we are faced with these kinds of incidents many times every day. the bill also requires performance of a cost and benefit service analysis of using a three-digit dial-in code for national suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline system and examines the overall effectiveness of the current national suicide prevention lifeline and veterans crisis line and recommends ways to improve the current system. each year, 45,000 americans take their own life. an average of 123 completed suicides every day. an additional one million plus americans attempt suicide each year. while there are m

mr. clifton daniel. [ applause ] >> thank you, stewart. thank you ladies and gentlemen and stewart thank you for apparently allowing me to do half as well on this electric t lecture as i was planning to. that's very nice. thank you for having me here. thank you all for coming here, mr. secretary, mrs. sessions, i should say mrs. sessions' sisters. thank you. and my fellow children and grandchildren over there who have already i've known duncan sands 20 minutes and he's already kbifg me a hard time. and nothing historical, either. he said let's go down and unplug clifton's laptop and see what happens. my grandfather was a classically trained and very adept pianist. he often said that had it not been for politics, he would have been happy being a whorehouse piano player and in truth, he said it's pretty much the same job. so when you are harry truman's grandson. you learn to play the piano. whether you want to or not. i had a teacher named charles morris who was the soul of patience, the kindest man, he may still be, i may have buried mr. mo

stewart in "it's a wonderful life." you look into somebody's soul, you are a good person, i will lend to you, mrs. so-and-so. at if you are lending to million people, is math, macro risk management, algorithms. not -- if they are not your neighbors and their coming to you online with digital platforms, which we are good at and have done for a long time, there is obviously a big customer experience to this and we have to import that into the firm. but a lot of the risk management decisions, the distribution decisions, the algorithms that one go into making these kinds of decisions kind of is in our wheelhouse. one of the reason that in percent -- that presents a big opportunity for us is we don't have legacy stores, thousands and thousands of branches that we have to protect on the one hand. and the normal disruptors in this space, the silicon valley credit comes into this space, don't have licensed deposit takers i don't have balance sheets. -- and don't have balance sheets. very good opportunity -- it is rare that you get a big bank like ours that does not have a legacy consumer business that needs to be pr

mr. smith goes to washington and jimmy stewart and, you know, we don't live in that world anymore. i thought peter strzok did himself some good. those e-mails, naked, read, are pretty damning, and he explained them in a coherent way. i thought peter strzok did the fbi some good. he just sounded like an fbi guy. spoke with such passion about what the bureau is and does. and i thought the republicans on the committee just turned this into a show trial and did more to discredit the gop effort to undermine mueller's investigation than any event that we've seen. that's really the, my takeaway from yesterday, this is, this long show trial-like grilling leaves the republican argument, that this is all political and outrageous a lot weaker than it was. so that's -- we'll see where they go from here, but i think most people looking in to that would have just shaken their heads and said, i don't know. that doesn't sound right, what trey gowdy is saying. doesn't sound right to me. >>> still ahead on "morning joe" -- actually i want to grab katty kay. we'll talk to you about what happened in l

mr. speaker. today i rise to remember the life of brenda stewart. brenda attended the route 91 festival in las vegas on october 21. he enjoyed hunting, taking trips to his family's cabin in utah and watching his favorite teams, the atlanta braves, and the san francisco 49ers. he loved riding dirt bikes and is remembered as being the life of the party. brendan would always put lives before himself. he was shielding his girlfriend from gunfire and helping others to safety. brendan is remembered as a man who would give anyone the shirt off his back and for being a genuine man. i would like to extend my condolences to brendan stewart's family and friends. please know that the city of las vegas, the state of nevada, and the whole country grieve with you. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: thank you. . the speaker pro tempore: thank you. for what purpose does the gentleman from arizona seek recognition? thank you. without objection, the gentleman s recognized for one minute. mr. o'halleran: mr. speaker, i rise today to honor ran

stewart in it is a wonderful life. you look into somebody's soul, a neighbor. i will lend you that much money, mrs. so-and-so. but if you are lending to 50 million people, it is math. it is algorithms. it is macro risk management, the stuff we are good at and have been good at for a very long time. if they are not your neighbors and coming to you online, then it is digital delivery and digital platforms, which we are kind of good at and have done for a long time. there is a big customer experience to this, and we have to import that into the firm, but a lot of the risk management decisions, the distributions decisions. the algorithms that go into making this kind of decision kind of is in our wheelhouse. one of the reasons that represents a big opportunity for us is we don't have legacy stores. we don't have thousands and thousands of branches that we have to protect on the one hand. and the normal disrupters in the space, the silicon valley crowd that would normally come into this space aren't licensed deposit takers and don't have balance sheets and really can't do it. hey we have to rig and securitized. it

mr. president, did michael cohen betray you, sir? >> reporter: and trump's attorneys do not believe it is a problem for the president. >> all right, thanks, athena. joining me right now, alice stewarto is a cnn political commentator and republican strategist. matt bennett is a democratic strategist, also with me, larry noble, who is a cnn contributor and former general counsel of the federal election commission. thanks to all of you. good to see you. >> hi, fred. >> good to be here. >> larry, you know, the president's attorney waiving privilege on that secretly regarded conversation between trump and cohen. it's a conversation that did occur, you know, just two months before the election, raising questions about possible campaign violations. so as a lawyer what do you make of the decision to waive this attorney/client privilege? >> well, first, i have to say, with anything we're hearing out of the trump organization from giuliani, we're not sure if it's true. exactly what went on. so let's assume for a moment they did waive privilege. i'm not sure why they would. if the privilege attached, then the prosecutors could not see it. it is possible privilege did not attach. if this was a

mr. moonves at the very least is not going to be pushed aside pending investigation if not just going to have a hard time keeping his job. >> jim stewarta," does he keep his job long-term. and in the immediate term, does d. -- do they suspend him pending the investigation? >> in other companies they do suspend pending investigation. maybe there is another side of this story he made his statement in the article. but it's certainly --my readin of it raised very serious questions. this wasn't just someone -- he wasn't just politely asking someone. it went way beyond that. the best i could say is it's old. in this environment, this is a consumer company -- >> that was one of the questions which was in all of these situations, the timing meaning does it matter if it took place a decade ago or two decades ago? and not to make light of any of it, but do these dare i say even social norms which is a terrible phrase, does that have any impact on you think the way the board or others think about any of this? >> well -- >> and by the way, there is no social norm which allows either assault or people to bounce on other people so let's just put tha

mr. mueller. do your work, but as quickly as possible. we look forward to seeing what his conclusions are. host: connie is in new jersey, line for democrats. you are on with congressman chris stewartller: i would like to ask the congressman a few weeks ago that republican senators were in russia. now, our president -- to question our diplomats and people from here. this that's a very slippery sets a verys slippery slope. it is safe to say the republican party came to a point where they sell our country to russia. i speak from experience. i am a child who grew up in a fascist country. so i know what i am talking about -- host: where did you grow up? caller: spain. under franco, best friends with hitler and mussolini. guest: i think somewhere in there was the, that republicans have sold out to russia. i think that is contrary to the facts. why was the president talking to nader the way he was? -- to nato the way he was? toause nato needs to comply their agreements to supply to their defense. they have not done that today, but why do we want them to adequately fund their defense? so they can confront russia. the additional sanctions that have been posted on russia -- this president,
