thank you mr speaker mrs reagan yesterday marked a momentous day for the family and friends of the 96 victims of the hillsborough disaster over the last 27 years their search for justice has been met with obfuscation and hostility is said of sympathy and aunt says as i said to the house in 2012 about the hillsborough independent panel's report it's wrong that the families had to wait for so long and to fight so hard just to get to the truth. in 2009 and independent commission was set up to investigate the real truth behind the tragedy and held its meetings in liverpool cathedral. 41 people therefore had evidence to change to survive after if you read through 15. more anguish for relatives of those who lost their lives but among the findings of the independent panel's reports published in 2012 exoneration for the fans 23 years after the event. got a bust. in addition to the sun the initial police report had likewise blamed supporters but in 1991 the official coroner's inquest recorded a verdict of accidental death. later families undertook a series of private prosecutions blaming the p

mr. reagan had said, mr. gorbachev, make this wall a little shorter said, mr. gorbachev, make this wall a little shorter. one of the flashpoints in this divide between the progressives and the moderates was the climate crisis the candidates disagreed over ambitious proposals like the green new deal, and ryan tried to take on bernie >> what do you do with an industry that knowingly paid billions in short-term profits and is destroying this planet? i say that is criminal activity. >> that cannot be allowed -- >> congressman, your response? >> i would just said, i didn't say we couldn't get there until 2040, bernie you don't have to yell >> he does have to yell bernie's been kicked out of every library in vermont he's like the bus from "speed if he goes under 100 decemdecember i -- decemberables, his air will explode. it was like watching michael jordan and scotty pippen take on the washington generals. at one point, john delaney was again called on to debate warren on her proposal to a wealth tax on assets over $50 million she managed to debate delaney just with

i was on -- going up air force one with ronald reagan and donaldson was standing on the tarmac yelling, "mr i thought reagan didn't hear him. i said hey, mr. president, sam donaldson's yelling. he said yeah, yeah, yeah. he said i know. i said are you going to say anything? he said no, i'm going to act like i didn't hear him. and i'm acting like i didn't hear him -- >> governor weld is no slouch. what do you say to sam? >> look, the situation is sam is probably -- look, i like sam. he has a ranch out in new mexico. so he probably hikes. let me just tell you, when you go hiking and you want to get to the top of a hill -- hold on. just stay with me, lemon. stay with me. you've got to have a path. you've got to have a path. when you go to pull your boat into the harbor, you have to have a path. this weekend you didn't have a path. you crashed your friend's boat. okay? i don't want to go up and fall down off the mountain. if i see a path that makes sense. i didn't say i wasn't running. i said i'd have to see a path. right now i'm hiking, i'm hiking, i'm hiking. i don't see a path. and you know w

mr. williams during the reagan years. i did not work in the gardens but i saw mr. williams pretty much on a daily basis with her. i was often in his offices which are located under the north portico in this dugout area. a sparsely furnished room for a gardener. they started driving around looking for trees and they found some. then they had to have them brought over to the white house and it was a process. they were taken to the greenhouse is first. mr. williams and i, he taught me a lot about the history of the gardens in a horticultural design and historical context. and explaining to me the magnolia trees and the grass and the plan and the design. he always said that the gardens where the work of misses paul mellon and misses mellon for short. we never talked, we never discussed political parties, only garden parties. i thought this was a fun picture. you can see the old steps as they are being destroyed. there is a great story that she cut the cable to death of a hotline to moscow. the president was in his office and there was a huge disruption. i think this is

be looking back on this ten years down the line, and this is that moment where ronald reagan said to gorbachev, mrhev, tear down that wall. this could be that moment where the president reaches out and find some common ground with the desperate that runs north korea north korea and convinces them to disarm. if that happens, that will be an enormous, enormous victory for not only donald trump, before america, for south korea, for north koreans, and for all of humanity. >> jason: dan, you are a cia station chief, taught to think differently and analyze things differently, donald trump is approaching this in an unconventional way, what the media would not have him do. but from your perspective, your vantage point. what is important to kim jong un? i have to tell you, you cannot just look at it through the lens that you would do on your couch say in florida. this dictator is a brutal guy. what is important to him? >> first, it is important to see the world through kim jong un's twisted eyes. during the second world war, prime minister churchill used to say if he could have dinner with stalin once a we

what's new in this particular report because this isn't the 1st time a mr international has criticized the policy of president reagan's eternity. that's right and this time we investigated the black and province and looked at dozens of cases by investigating in particular 20 cases and these cases clearly show a pattern of extrajudicial execution by police or people associated with the police what is new is that we are seeing a new epicenter of the murderous enterprise that president who tortures us launch with the war on drugs in 2016 this is a new location is a location where high ranking officials who where previously in charge of metro manila have moved in over the past year what it shows also is that people are exit you did simply for being on the so-called drug watch list which are listed that are compile at the local level outside of any legal process we are also seeing a complete failure to hold accountable anyone for murders and there's a complete climate of impunity that's why what our conclusion in this report is that there are no domestic avenues to seek accountability and redress for what is really a murde

mrs. nixon really enjoyed meeting him, he really enjoyed meeting him, but president reagan never wrote such a note. there is a photo that is signed by president reagan. but this is, again, the president using social media in a way that's not checking the facts, that's not accurate, but he really seeks that adulation and he likes to spread the idea that he's popular online. it's nothing new. it's a shame that something that's not accurate would get such public disbursement, but it's not a surprise in terms of his political tactics. >> jason, you're a younger man than i am but you're old enough to remember a time that kind of stuff would have been embarrassing and cause for a statement. but this doesn't matter anymore, does it? >> no, it doesn't. i'm thinking back to that brilliant quote from abraham lynn contin lincoln when he was posting on instagram and saying "don't believe everything you read on the internet." people don't read. they don't pay attention to history. anything the president tweets out they get excited about it. it's indicative of the lowering of the standards we have pretty

mr. yoho, reference, and that is that word, 1986. 1986 was the year that ronald reagan, whom i revere and always i can think of, exempt for the -- except for the two times in all of history that he let me down. 1986 was a time he did. when he granted amnesty to what turned out to be more than three million illegal aliens in this country. it wasn't the number of illegal aliens that were granted a reward for breaking our laws, but instead it was the destruction of the rule of law. once you reward people for breaking the law, you get more law breakers. more law breakers destroy the law. in the center of everything i've done on immigration here in this congress in 16 1/2 years has been about the restoration of the respect for the rule of law in particular with regard to immigration. yet i'm seeing on the other side of the aisle a constant push to erode and degrade the respect for the rule of law and the rule of law itself. we're dealing with sanctuary cities, sanctuary counties, sanctuary states, sanctuary jurisdictions. and the last congress we passed sanctuary legislation that went over to

mr. politics. celebrating america celebrating the men and women defending our freedoms and constitution. i also don't remember any kind of uproar in 1984 when ronald reagan reopened the statue of liberty onboard military battleships with the statue of liberty behind him over the course of a four-day three-day celebration. it was celebrating america. and yes the military was involved. there would be fireworks involved both then, both now. and so i think a lot of in is people trying to make it political. when really it's just going to be a celebration of our country. >> is the dnc getting tickets to give away? i haven't heard about that. in fact i heard today they are not. they're only going to the rnc. >> dnc tells cnn they're not getting tickets. the source did cnn that the campaign -- trump campaign got tickets how many. >> i'm not sure how many tickets. it's not unusual for -- for these kinds of organizations to have friends, family nearby and that's the way we view that. i remember working in a state political party back in 2004 when president bush was having an official event in our state party helped distribute kikts o tickets. it's standard operati

mr. speaker, a partisan issue. that is sad. and unfortunate. because, at least on the national security, for which i have been supportive for 38 years, i supported much of the reagan buildup. i supported the deployment of missiles in europe. i supported the m.x. missile, which was somewhat controversial in my district. i did it because i thought america needed to be strong and make sure the world knew we were going to be strong. when you talk about joe wilson's amendment, which we included in our bill, which you were supportive of and i think the level of funding was also, frankly, intellectually supported, if not politically supported, i regret we did not have a bipartisan vote on the defense bill. with respect to your specific question, i respond to the this mr. speaker, we hope bill is signed. if not we hope we go to conference. go to we will conference. i yield to my friend. mr. scalise: i thank the gentleman for yielding. let's be crystal clear what happened. the armed services committee, the chairman of the armed services committee made this a political bill by putting poison pills in the bill that undermines our national security. that's not a partisan issu

mr. king: i add to the gentleman, in 1986, when the amnesty act was signed by ronald reagan, there was a requirement that each employer would have i-9 documents that would be filed. and so we began then, as soon as applicants came in, we took a copy of their information, we took the documents and kept them in our documents carefuly. any individual who came in and applied, we had the right file for, expecting an i.n.s., that was immigration and national services personnel at that time, to be at our door any time, spoking -- poking through all of our records. the records are still probably sitting in my archives somewhere. but that was going to work. they believed it was going to work. what happened was, because slowly along the way the aclu filed lawsuits and people kind of ducked and dodged and they found a way to rationalize a way around it until they got around to, well, i can't be -- as an employer i can't be required to make a judgment call. so if i'm looking at a picture of someone, i can't be sure that that's the face of the person that's in front of me. and so they would make the

reagan. >> hey. steve: you were tubeside yesterday to watch all six hours of mr. mueller's testimony.n? >> this was disappointing, sad to watch. a lot of analysis already. this closes volume one with the president and republicans on defense. and volume two now begins. in washington as i said any number of times, you're on offense or you're on defense. the trump team has been on defense. now it goes on offense about the origins of this whole thing in the fbi and elsewhere. brian: we'll see where that goes. let's talk about what is happening with the nypd across the country, the disrespect for law enforcement. it is much more than just about these officers. when you watch the video, you wrote about values, ethics throughout your life what is your thoughts? >> disrespect for the police officers is disrespect for law. deeper in the minds, hearts of a lot of people they understand that the thin blue line is what separates chaos and anarchy from order. they understand philosopher thomas, who time the state of nature is nasty, brutish and short. you had an illustration on video. if we don't

mr. chairman, i have a motion. >> taking his ball and going home. >> martha: he was very upset about the passing of this bill and the norm is not -- i heard him say earlier today that ronald reagan talked in his speech in a year that they racked up $100 million in the deficit and now we do that on a daily basis, $100 million. where are the people in the republican party who care about this? >> i think you see two of them standing right here. the challenge is that elections have consequences. so the president wants to rebuild the military. it's a big part of his plan. he needs two years to do it. if we go without a budget agreement, without an appropriations bill, the military all of a sudden, all the progress that's been made, everything that the president is doing at the border, all of that comes to a stop. so i agree we have a spending problem in this country, but the democrats control the house, so you have to reach some type of compromise. the only way we could get the money for the military and our intelligence professionals was to have the president cut a deal with the senate and the democrat-controlled house. that's what happened today. >> martha: i understand, but a lot
