mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, the times and democrat newspaper of orangeburg, south carolina, published a thoughtful editorial on november 21 entitled, murder is not caused by guns, trux. the editorial begins, every time violence hits close to renewed. ebate is in the two most recent incidents guns were the weapon of terror. in new york, as we've seen in the case in europe in recent times, a truck was used to run over innocent people. the editorial continues, it takes time to look beyond the surface issues such as weapons and stop the blame game, says mary yanukovych, a licensed therapist and expert in mental health in the workplace with more than 27 years of experience. clyde continues, the world will change, not by world regular nation but rather by one person at a time taking responsibility for our thought proc

mr. wilson would be defeated. they branded him as the most hated man in germany and proposed to indulge in a ruthless submarine campaign during the last four months of his term on the in-flight assumption that he would have neither the power nor the will to challenge german action. now that they find mr. wilson reelected, they are confident he will remain neutral, whatever germany chooses to do. but they reluctantly confess that president wilson remains president wilson. he does. it we are content that should be so. however, he may be president wilson with a difference. [music] >> that was pretty good. that deserves a round of applause. next time that happens, that is going to be even bigger. were so kind to set me up for that transition, could you explain just a bit, why it was that wilson won the election of 1960? >> the obvious answer is he got the most votes in the electoral college. but not by a long shot. interestingly, we have public memories of these contested, very close presidential elections and it seem

mr. wilson. >> good evening. i am the parking policy manager sheer. i am happy to present this exciting program for your consideration. as mr. mcguire mentioned this builds off a successful pilot project called sf park. i was here a couple months ago to bring you an informational item about the same topic. you may recognize the slides. the goals of the project really are about trying to get people into parking places as quickly as possible. that reduces the amount of time they spend looking for space, reduces the traffic they create and makes their experience shopping and visiting the neighborhood districts more pleasant so they want to keep coming to spend money which is what we want. we want a transparent data driven process to bring it to the data realm. a few reminders what sf park was. fender rally if -- federally funded spring 2011 to spring 2013. we undertook extensive evaluation in summer of to 14. -- 2014. it covered 25% of the parking meters in the city. 14sfa managed garages and lots.

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i'm grateful that president donald trump and congressional republicans are delivering on the first meaningful tax cuts in a generation. these tax cuts are in the tradition of ronald reagan, allowing american families to keep more of their hard earned paychecks and creating jobs. over 80% of hardworking families will keep more of their own money. as early as february, american families will see more of their own money as revealed in their paychecks. additionally, by lowering the corporate tax to 21%, american businesses will become more competitive overseas and jobs will be created. such as nefron industries led by lou and bill kennedy of casey. m proud of all members for delivering tax cuts. in the words of reagan, whenever we lower our tax rate, our entire nation is better off. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11. thank you ambassador haley for standing tall with president donald trump for checking injury use aluminum as the capital -- j

mr wilson's partner of nine years, ryan bolger, was listening in the public gallery, when he got something0—hour debate on legislative amendments probably sounds like a bit of a turn—off. but for australian mp tim wilson, it provided the perfect opportunity for a little romance. this debate has been the soundtrack to our relationship. as his 30 minute speech reached its conclusion, he knew his chance had come. his voice started to falter as he turned to the public gallery. so there's only one thing left to do. ryan patrick bolger, will you marry me? chuck that in the memoirs on the hansard. i should let hansard note to record that was a yes, a resounding yes. congratulations. last month, a public vote in favour was celebrated with gusto after 62% of people supported the change. australia may have said i do, but there is still plenty of detail to be worked out. in parliament, the focus has been on religious freedom and the right of some people to opt out of working at a same—sex wedding, but the prime minister is still confident the bill will pass soon. few issues have divided australian po

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i'm grateful president donald trump and ambassador haley, south carolina's former governor, for the announcement the united states will recognize jerusalem as the capital city of israel and relocate the american embassy to the holy city which protects all religions. as president trump said at the white house, quote, this long overdue recognition of reality is in the best interest of both the united states and the pursuit of peace between israel and the palestinians, end of quote. america's bond with israel is unique and the strength through peace through stability for all the middle east providing for prosperity for all countries. the president's announcement strengthens that alliance and i appreciate him honoring another of his campaign commitments. friends of israel know they have a true friend in the white house which was heart-felt when i met last month with sheldon and marion he haddleson at the washington convention -- eddleson at the washington convention center. peace

and then mr wilson went off—script a little. so there is only one thing left to do. c ryan would say yes. it was an extraordinary day for him as well. i didn't realise we would be the first couple to do this, but we had been debating this issue for an awfully long time. our relationship has been at the centre of it. it was ultimately the only way i thought i could pay him thanks friends standing beside me to what was a difficult time for many couples. now it is time for us to step up and meet the expectations we have set for ourselves. explained to us why the issue has been so divisive for some politicians? we fully respect the fact that people disagree. but public sentiment changed on this about a decade ago. the majority supported a change. different political parties and different governments have not wa nted different governments have not wanted to confront it because there are constituencies who are very noisy and oppose. we promised a public vote before changing the law. i was not a big fan of that. is a member of the government, i had to vote for that. we had a

mr. wilson. it is fascinating to watch this evolve from the park pilot where we learned so much and seeing it rollout city wide is fantastic. to your point, it is probably almost invisible to most people who use it except people will be able to park more easily and the apps that will be available to let people see what those rates are because i can see that might be someone's concern they park the car and it was x per hour. they don't maybe know if they don't check ahead of time if they went up two blocks it would be cheaper. are we going to on our lovely new web site let people know which apps to use not while driving but before they go out to try to park? >> i think that is a good idea. we did that with sf park. not endorsing anybody if you are interested in finding the information these are the places to visit. i will write that down >> i support this and continue to support sf park. it has helped merchants, drivers, street safety. i love it. directors do we have questions? >> if this is going

mr. wilson. i now recognize the ranking member for three minutes, and for his closing comments. >> thank you, madam chair, and thank you, secretary acosta, for being with us today. as you can tell, there's a lot of interest in the issues under your jurisdiction. first one is bipartisan support for apprenticeship programs, so long as we can make sure that the federal dollars are going to quality programs, and that will take a little work to get that straight but i think you're aware of the apprentice program at the nupanu shipyard which is one of the best in the country, i invite to you visit or at least familiarize yourself because it's one of the best in the nation. let me just ask you a couple of questions. the minimum wage hasn't been raised in a long time. do you have a position on increasing the minimum wage? >> congressman, that is an issue that is within congress' purview. the minimum wage has not been raised in a number of years, and is set by congress. >> so you would support an increase

mr. wilson. so we'll open this item up for public comment. that was you and richard warren, you have a comment. you're also with the project sponsor. ok. any additional public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners? commissioner rich arts? >> since i'm the one that up here that likes wine the most -- [laughter] i read with great interest this packet. i think it is an interesting concept. a log arithms seem to run the world anja wait to see what you pair me with. i move to approve. >> second. >> thank you, commissioner, on that motion to approve this matter.

mr. wilson. >> thank you, mr. chairman. my full statement will be in the record but i'd like to summarize a few remarks to open. what happened in sutherland springs was absolutely awful. a mass murder of people gathered to pray. the morning after the shooting in zsutherland springs, the chif of staff and i directed the rapid investigation to find out what happened, why, and correct it. it was clear very early that mr. kelly's criminal history was not reported and it should have been. in the week since, our review has determined that the breakdown in reporting was not limited to this case and it was not limited to this detachment at the air force base. the actions that we have taken since then include steps to add steps to case management for both the office of special investigations and also the air force security forces. so that cases cannot be closed just at the local detachment. that higher headquarters must also check off the fingerprint records had been filed. a third check has been added that when the file is actually

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask to address the house for one minute. the speaker: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. wilson: chief justice ernest fenny jr. passed away. he started his storied career as an educator and then became a renowned civil rights attorney was south carolina's first african-american chief justice since reconstruction. my first judicial commitment for the state senate was with justice feny. after meeting with a former congressman had been my classmate in law school. a graduate of south carolina school of law, the justice was selected to the south carolina house of representatives in 1972. as a member of the house he made history as a founder of the legislative black caucus. he served as the first caucus chairman. in 1976, the justice was elected to first african-american circuit court judge. in 1985 he became the state's first african-american supreme court justice since reconstruction. justice feny became chief justice in 1994. south carolina is grateful for the life and service of justice feny and we lift up his fam

mr. a.l. wilson and the deputy sheriff came to my house and told me that i was the leader of the colored people and the effort to have colored women registered to vote. i am secretary of the harding and coolidge club in my home, and i was active in all things that intends to uplift my people. on the following thursday, which was october 21, dr. b.f. bond and the sheriff of the county, mr. gregory came to me , and further threatened me. on the 28th, mr. doland and mr. creamer and mr. newberry came and told me there had never been a lynching in that part, and they thought it well that i should leave at once to be sure of my life." these are the repercussions of black women gaining the right to vote. as they went forward despite all of these challenges, they found that their communities needed them. and without the black women and their continued courage, we wonder where the community would be today despite the problems we see today. we know now that there are continued challenges, but we know that blac

unusual, but unfortunately earlier this year we did have to bring a very similar sort of case against mr wilsone of this sort of attitude to proliferate. 0k, let me ask you martha, as director of the campaigning organisation liberty about what elizabeth calls the current political climate. are you registering a rise in discrimination examples, like the one we are discussing today? yes, i think we are. after the referendum last year there was a big rise in hate crime and we know that many of those hate crimes are targeted at people who are from eastern europe, or are perceived to be from eastern europe that may have a right to be here. and that can be anything from this kind of sign or those kind of letting arrangements. it could be verbal abuse in the street, but we have also seen some violent hate crimes and there was a polish community organisation in london that was smashed up shortly after the referendum. what is the link with the referendum vote? well, i think firstly it's nothing to do whether you voted leave or remain, it's not saying one group of people are racist or bigoted, it's nothi

. >> good evening, president honda, vice president fung, commissioners miss lazarus, miss wilson, mr. swig. my name is scott stewart, and i've been a continual resident of san francisco for the last 50 years, so we're starting from that point of view, so maybe with that point of view, i'd like to introduce historic perspective, and between the square footage shown in the permit form. the size of the addition has not changed between the presentation meeting and the site permit application. the side of the third floor addition is 1,080 square feet is has always been that. the reason for the different total is the preapplication form showed the existing building net square footage which does not include the garage. the permit application drawings use the existing gross square footage to capture the entire building coverage, thus, the higher number. the drawings shown at the preapplication meeting and use for the site permit application as granted are identical and there's been no increase in the scope of work. the appellant claims that the additional result will result in a building that

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i'm grateful to recognize that this is a day december 14, to recognize law enforcement and their families dedicated to protecting american families. i appreciate the hard work of cassie in recognizing her husband in such a positive way with greg eller day, giving back to the community and recognizing his service to the american people. greg was a fine young man and also a seven-year veteran of the forest acres police department. i was fortunate to have the privilege to travel with greg in boy scout troop to the scout ranch in new mexico. i learned then what a dedicated person he was. his legacy and courage will live on through the great work of his wife, cassy son, cal, and parents. to the many law enforcement and families across the country, we thank you for your service, dedication and sacrifice which over the weekend i saw with sheriff michael hunt of richland and sheriff kohn of lexington. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the g

. >> the clerk: we a member who has submitted a speaker card, wilson which. >> director: mr.ich. >> director: mr. chu. >> commissioners, thank you for the fun to comment and for deliberating on this. i'm wilson chu and i'm the president of the chinese-american democratic club. we've been in san francisco as an organization 59 years. we have also supported medicinal cannabis 20 years ago as an outcoming -- outcome of our relationship with the lgbt community during the aids crisis and understand the benefits to the community and last year we supported recreational cannabis as an outcome. we have also now currently -- we do support people that require the benefits and also we choose to be able to participate in that particular cultural lifestyle but with that said, we have also been helping the neighborhoods express their voice in shaping the policy. with that said, i would also encourage you to adopt the ban on advertising within the busses. in order to support the public health policy in san francisco. as it pertains to reduction in smoking or consumption of sugary taxes. we k

mr. chairman. let me begin, secretary wilson, you mentioned the light attack aircraft and where we are moving on that. i went to compare that with the b21 raider program which is under development. as you have mentioned in prepared statements, there's moving in both of the programs. recently declassified audit with inspector general praised the b21 program plan for being cost goals and requirements. i think if this content-- trend continues of a model acquisition program congress and the tax payers might wonder if we could duplicate all or part of the process that has worked well in this program for subsequent programs. i know that chairman has expressed reservations as to the approach that had been proposed and i think he's been very interested in the developments and the movement forward in terms of getting this done on time and contract. do you see similarities between that and the light attack aircraft possibility and can we use the process that we have so far been successful in developing the b21 plan? is that something that can migrate to other plans as well? >> senator, we are using different

mr. wilson: our senate colleagues deserve credit in listening to the people of the country in voting to pass the tax cuts last week. now we stand on the doorstep of history. as we move to conference committee, we have a chance to overhaul the antiquated and notoriously confused tax code for the first time in a generation. when the conference process is finished, the president will be able to sign a tax cut bill that serves the interests of families and businesses, rather than those of special interests. speaker paul ryan said, these opportunities come around only once in a generation and now is the time for us to seize the moment. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from new jersey seek recognition? mr. sirse: to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. sirse: mr. speaker -- mr. sires: , i rise today in continued opposition to the republican tax plan. earlier this week the house of representatives agreed to go to conferen

wilson: mr. speaker, i rise today to remind the congress and the nation that there are still many questions surrounding the october ambush in niger during which my constituent sergeant johnson and three members of his unit were killed by islamist militants. this week, two news organizations reported some disturbing details that raise questions about the true nature of the unit's mission in niger. there also is a question of who was making the decisions on that night, whether the soldiers or commanders back at base. according to one report after being separated from the union -- from the unit for 48 hours, they believe that sergeant johnson was still alive and may have been captured, tortured and executed. the true story of what happened to sergeant johnson may be in the end a source of embarrassment for the pentagon and this nation. but the agency owes its family and the american people the truth however ugly it may be. and i am committed to keeping this issue on the front burner and in everyone'

mr. whipple? physical back to woodrow wilson and earlier? guest: no, the book begins with the nixon era and his empowered white house chief. the reason for that is i could have gone back earlier to eisenhower, who had sherman adams as his gatekeeper, but the reason for it is, as i have said, there is nothing in the constitution about a white house chief of staff. the position did not exist until modern times. it originated with eisenhower but went to another level with nixon and alderman, which is what i started there. it is a rich history from there until the president. if you asked all of the 17 living white house chiefs, 18 if you count reince priebus, i think they will all tell you -- bobb haldeman haldeman really wrote the template for empowered white house chief. whipple, writer, journalist, speaker, past producer of 60 minutes is the author of this book titled "the gatekeepers: how the white house chief of staff defined every presidency." thank you for your time. guest: washington journal, live every day with news and policy issues th

mrs. johnson, who lost her husband and how he mercilessly tinned to go after her and to imply that she was just a big liar. fredrica wilson. i think about poor mrs. khan, and him talking about oh, what's wrong with her, that mr. khan had to speaking? does she not have any voice? if you look at it contextually, the president seems to really enjoy battering women. and not just mrs. clinton. but other women as well. >> well, he certainly didn't respond to the people who were calling for him to respond except for kiersten you have th group, and you've already got 113 people who have signed on to this to say, look, there should at least be a congressional investigation into these allegations from these fairly large group of women. but given that you're all democrats and given the makeup on the hill, what do you think mrs. congresswoman? >> we see members on a daily basis being held accountable for their behavior, and yet, we aren't prepared to say that the emperor has no clothes. this is the leader of the free world. this is the only man that most people in the world get an opportunity to see. and indeed in this country. and i

mr. chairman. just let me begin secretary wilson. you have mentioned the light attack aircraft and where we're moving. i want to compare that with the program which is under development at time. the program as you mention in your prepared statement there's movement in both the be 21 program. a audit from the pentagon praised the b 21 program plan for meeting cost goals. and requirements. i think if this trend continues to be 21 could one day merge as a model program. congress and the taxpayers might wonder if we could duplicate all or a process that has worked well in the particular program. for subsequent programs. i know the chairman had expressed real reservation as to the approach that had been proposed. and i think he's been very interested in the development and the movement forward in terms of gefting this done on time. and on contract. do you see similarities between that and the light attack aircraft possibilities and can we use the process that we have so far been successful in developing in the b 21 plan. is that something

wilson didn't budge. sew drove around him. when he got out of his car, he told him this. >> i'll be glad when mr. trump gets rid of all you mexicans and blanks. the word he wrote on the side of my car. >> that's the "n" word. that makes him the prime suspect in wilson's book. wilson a marine corps veteran is not a trump fan and responded with words we can't say on tv. something he now says he regrets. vandalism happened while he was inside the store and neighbors are noticing. >> that was in while you were inside the store? >> yes. >> i'm sorry. my name is steve. >> and after dropping her daughters after at day care, she posted this on-line. >> i didn't want to be too aggressive. i wanted people to care. >> wilson racked up $140 in uber bills and he is on disability. wlson and ross met for the first time in a parking lot. she started a good fund me page for him. eric thomas, abc 7 news. >> the city was taking a step as part ofiits crime-fighting effo. there will be license plate readers on roads leading in and out of town. police chief there says cameras an readers could prove useful in investigat

mr. trotter, who makes everyone seem soft. harvard educated, unrepentant, he becomes a thorn in wilson's side because he holds the president's feet to is the fire. in the he's in particular known for opposing, or at least questioning the terms under which african-americans will enlist in the war. but also, really coordinating an international campaign to quash the release of "birth of a nation," the homage to the klan. that came out in 1915. one of my favorite quotes by web dubois on the war, written before the united states enters the war officially, he says, "absolute loyalty in arms and civil duties need not for a moment lead us to abate our just complaints and just demand." for african americans, like other americans, they will say, against the accusation that they lack patriotism, they lack a robust understanding of a citizenship duty to the nation, -- a citizen's do determination, he will say instead, "it is precisely because i understand the true meaning of patriotism that i say that my country must listen to our urgent needs, and must respond in exchange for our support." this is exactly what women are doing. let's be cle
