johnson: mr. chairman, i'm very mindful of the fact that this hearing really is about prison personnel preying on prisoners. i got that. but i think senator lankford brought up i think a pretty relevant point as well that certainly coming into this hearing i was thinking about, are there sexual assaults occurring between prisoners? director peters, how many biological males are being housed with biological females in federal prisons? ms. peters: i don't have an answer to that today. sen. johnson: do we have some? ms. peters: yes, senator. sen. johnson: i'll just go on the record, i won't belabor this point, but let me go on the record for when we are incarcerating somebody because they've committed a crime, we've taken away their right of being -- moving around freely around society, i would say they have no right to determine if you're a biological male to be housed with biological females. they have no right. that's the insane policy, we're talking about sexual assaults, to have the federal gove

mr. johnson: ms. smith, being an expert in the area, i'm not looking for a hard and fast answer, i doubt this has been researched but it would seem that probably most cases of this kind of abuse go unreported. would that be -- ms. smith: i think these cases are like sexual abuse in the community as well. often those cases go unreported as well. to be victimized means that you don't have power. and i think it is that sense of powerlessness that makes you think that either you can't report, nobody is going to believe you, or that nothing is going to happen to you. you will not be protected because you weren't protected in this situation. mr. johnson: so chances are that something like 8,000 complaints that haven't been file, that may still be the tip of the iceberg. dr. smith: absolutely. mr. johnson: obviously prea, those audits, haven't worked. maybe they have in some cases but they have not eliminated sexual assaults. dr. smith: so let's say prea aspects of it have worked but some of the procedures h

mr. johnson, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. mr. johnson: i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to include extraneous material on the subject of my special order. the speaker pro tempore: without objection mr. johnson: i would like to kick off our first wednesday special order hour of the year by extending my congratulations to all the new members and members returning here. we have very, very important work to do. and i thank our house democrat counterparts to ensure a smooth transition. it is an important part of our institution and grateful how this has gone so far and rooting for the success of this congress because when congress succeeds, everyone in our country benefits. we have an important responsibility before us. we are under no illusion that the governing in such a closely divided body in these divided times, we know what the challenges are but we are under no illusion that congress is operating as it should be and could be done better and show everyone how. this problem that we face hire

mrs. johnson. bere mrs. johnson's tenure, really? christmas trees on display at the white house would be from a staffer's home. they might just be somewhere nearby and a staffer might donate one out of their yard, which is quite common. but mrs. johnson decided they really needed to have a system to find these beautiful trees. so the national christmas tree growers association and mrs. johnson together started having a contest that there'd be a statewide contest, and the winner from each state would enter into a national contest. but this isn't any tree that enters the white house for the blue room. so when all of us are kind of getting stressed out about putting up our christmas decorations, we need to think about the blue room tree. it is 18 and a half feet tall at mimum. it has to be perfectly straight and symmetrical. it has to be full. t it can't be too full because it has to fit through the front doors of the white house and it has to be stately in both rich andolor. it takes an estatif let's say we didn't have another an estim

mr. johnson told him invading ukraine would mean more nato forces on his border. >> you say that ukrainet going to join nato anytime soon, he said that in english. what is anytime soon? i said it's not going to join nato for the foreseeable fure. reporter:nd then this. >> he threatened me at one point and said boris, i don't want to hurt you, but with a missile it would only take a minute or something like that. jolly. i think from the very relaxed tone he was taking, the sort of air of detachment that he seemed to have, he was just aying along with my attempts to get him to negotiate. reporter: the following week, the defense secretary flew to moscow to meet russian military chie, where he says they lied to him about their plans for ukraine. >> i remember saying to a minister that they will fight, and he said my mother is ukrainian, they won't. he also said he had no intention of invading. he said it would be vanu, in the russian language, it would be a form of bullying or streth. i am lying to you, you know i am lying to you. it was very chilling, the line of what they were not going t

mr. johnson: put plainly, this is mr. johnson: put plainly, this is not an appropriate role for them, neither of which oversee federal land. the agencies consulted in the plan already must comply with existing requirements so this amendment only serves to obstruct. h.r. 21 is about strengthening the s.p.r., by requiring any nonemergency use to be accompanied by a plan to produce american oil resources. this amendment undermines the purpose of the bill. i urge a no vote on this amendment and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentlelady from michigan. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. the amendment is not agreed to. ms. tlaib: i request a recorded vote. the chair: pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlelady from michigan will be postponed. who seeks recognition? for what purpose does the gentleman from calif

renumeration or compensation to mr sharp from borisjohnson and for this or for any other service, mr johnson mr sharp who he is known for almost 20 years and with his cousin and so wide, big deal. the financial arrangements have been properly declared on the advice of officials and that's advice of officials and that's a response from the former prime minister and what is the political reaction to your story? political reaction to your sto ? �* , story? briefly the dinner referred _ story? briefly the dinner referred to _ story? briefly the dinner referred to the - story? briefly the dinner referred to the meal- story? briefly the dinner- referred to the meal featuring johnson and sam, and his £800,000 loan and sharp deleted the bbc chairman how to checkers, the prime ministers president. the former prime minister characterised, i don't know what he is referring to specifically but he has used the word rubbish and insist that everyone of his interest was properly declared. 0bviously, their questions were sharp and job applications stated that candidates were not eligible if they failed to di

mr. johnson, and his leadership on pro-life issues. in the wake of the dobbs' decision, pro-abortion radicals have waged horrific attacks. pro-life institutions are on the front line of meeting needs of women, youth yoo and men. they roy support and saved so many lives. nobody, and i say nobody should be in fear for their safety when seeking middle care and spiritual support. this body has the opportunity to express its unwavering support for the women and the families across america and this country and condemn this violence by voting for this act. i am proud tosh part of this effort and i encourage on my colleagues to vote yes on this resolution. i yield my time back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: i yield two minutes to the gentlelady from texas, ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for two minutes. ms. jackson lee: i join my fellow colleagues, the women of the democratic caucus to stand here because we

mr. johnson's mr.ar vision. and, you know, his speech last week gave us five things against which to measure but didn't really give us distinctive idea of the kind of country he wants to create. so undoubtedly, given that backdrop, you can understand why some people inside the conservative party say, oh, look it up, boris johnson is approving the action when therefore perhaps we should return to him. the trouble is of course there is no guarantee that history will repeat itself. and because mr. johnson succeeded winning a general election in 2019, essentially by combining the live vote behind the conservative party, but doesn't mean to say that the same thing's going to happen twice. and of course, the problem for mr. johnson above all is in the end, he was brought down because many of his colleagues felt could no longer believe and trust what he said . believe and trust what he said. and that was a judgement that many had come to during the course of the long partygate saga. course of the long partyga

sharp from mr johnson for this or any otheron did have dinner with mr sharp, who he has known for almost 20 years, and with his cousin. the statement goes on to say, so what? big deal? or mr johnson's financial arrangements have been properly registered on the advice of officials. that is the statement from boris johnson's spokesperson. staying with the former prime minister, the —— borisjohnson has made an unannounced visit to ukraine to show his ongoing support to the ukrainian government. he was in kyiv and the capital's suburb of borodianka, destroyed heavily by the russian shelling. mrjohnson said he had been invited by the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky, saying it was a privilege to visit again. pressure is mounting on the conservative party chairman, nadhim zahawi, to release more details of a settlement he made with hmrc after he admitted making an error in his tax affairs. the former conservative leader sir iain duncan smith says he believes mr zahawi is not deceitful, but that he should get all the information

mrs. johnson for that, the nixon's and johnson's went way back. they were both in washington, lbj got there a little earlier than mr. nixon did when he was in for 1946. you know, when nixon was in the senate, vice president of the united states, and therefore presiding officer of the senate, lbj was the majority leader. you know, they would work together on legislation. in fact, one of the similar pieces of the first civil rights legislation passes reconstruction, it was passed during the eisenhower to ministration. you know, nixon worked closely with johnson in rustling up the votes for that, just off the environmental subject, but martin with a king then nixon met in ghana when it became independent. sent nixon a letter afterwards saying it couldn't have been done without your effort. again, that's another example of how both sides of the aisle could work together to get things done. this, i think, is a great example of one president honoring the work of his predecessors different party, often on different sides of the issues, but recognizing in

mr. johnson himself is seriously considered as the future e-e head and head of nato, the nato council and the north atlantic alliance to replace pope stoltenberg, who is currently the chairman of nato, this is a very serious position, this is a very serious effort, and i think that ukraine is just now a more serious subject of foreign policy already inside and there is a senate now has serious weight and we hope that mr. johnson's chances are very high and will only grow, it is in our interests because he knows the situation very well, he knows very well the russian aggression against ukraine from the first days, that is, on february 4 of last year and the second now inside of the european union and nato after the latest decision of the european parliament on the creation of a special tribunal on russian war crimes and where the huge legal preparatory work and today's by the way, the meeting of the council of ministers of foreign affairs the european union, including, will be discussed without a complex of legal issues related to the launch of such a special tribunal on the crimes of russ

mrs. johnson for that the nixon's in the johnsons went way back. um, they were both in washington lbj got there a little earlier than mr. nixon did when he was the first elected to the house in 1946. but you know when nixon was senate was vice president united states and therefore senate president, you know presiding officer of the senate lbj was the majority leader. and you know, they would work together on legislation. in fact, one of the one of the seminal pieces of the first in fact the first civil rights. legislation passes reconstruction was passed during the eisenhower administration and you know nixon worked very closely with johnson in wrestling up the votes for that. um, just this is off the environmental subject, but martin luther king, then who nixon had met in ghana when ghana became independent sent nixon a letter afterwards saying, you know, we couldn't have been done without your effort. but again, that's just another example of how you know both sides of the aisle can work together to get things done. and this i think is such a grea

mr. johnson. marty, don't see. many of them come true, he said, brother of, i'm ready till i haven't seen it back to the tragedy where i don't think me with too small to be of any importance anywhere in the world with the situation we're in the economic situation we're in is a result of breaks it, which has stayed in with europe and we're, we're, we're together now is known as issues we tried and whatnot. so, yet more pers opinion and great on know that everything was going to the tough but in the long run will be a control we'll call for ourselves and go from there 3 years after the u. k. formerly left the you, one thing is clear breaks, it was always a political project for many businesses across the country. any economic benefits a hard to find. all right, let's get more from big muscles report. you just saw a bigot customs a seem to be a big issue there. what other problems has breaks it, delta u. k companies? it's mostly those companies who x fall in the u that have really felt a big blow. they're really hit h

mr blyth went on to guarantee an £800,000 loan facility to boris johnson, but mr sharp said he wasn'td memo to borisjohnson dating from december 20020, two weeks before mr sharp was announced as the new bbc chairman. it dispenses the following advice to the then prime minister: last week, richard sharp said he gave no advice to borisjohnson. i knew nothing and i know nothing about his finances. sam was responding to press reports. i don't know anything about boris johnson's finances. and he's sticking to that position now. a spokesman for borisjohnson said richard sharp has never given any financial advice to borisjohnson, nor has borisjohnson asked for advice from him. in terms of standards and ethics, it wouldn't tell us why they issued a warning on financial advice. it says simply it does not comment on lease documents. iain watson, bbc news. hello there. across england and wales there's been a cloudy start to the day, but there are prospects of some slightly brighter skies pushing in for a time this afternoon. whereas across northern areas of the uk we're looking at some strong wi

mr. johnson when he was prime minister, and that mr.rp did not declare that during the appointment process. >> i have no reason at all to doubt richard sharp's integrity. the problem is the manner of the employee -- appointment. at a time when the public is alarmingly lacking in trust of our public institutions, everything has to be crystal ear and transparent. it does not mean, of course, yet there was a conflict interest, but an appearance of conflict of interest is what is important. >> richard sharp, often the public face of the bbc, says all he did was facilitate contact betw a businessman who wanted to help boris johnson financially and the head of the cabinet office. he email bbc staff today saying i was not involved in making a loan or arranging guarantee and i did not arrange any financing. what i did do was seek an introduction of samba life to the relevant official in government. i also remind the cabinet secretary that i submitted my application for bbc chairman. to avoid any conflict, we agreed i should have nothing further

mr. johnson, i would like to start with you, sir.ear about police incidents, one of the first things we ask is did race have anything to do with it. in this case the officers involved are black. >> we have to change the culture of policing. we have long known it has been a problem with police behavior in the black community regardless of one's race. until police officers are held accountable and there is a national standard and we implement a database of police misconduct we will continue to have bad actors across the racial spectrum who commit these acts against african-americans and other poor communities. >> the case of your brother george floyd. it seemed for many as a game changer in tyre's case, we saw the officers fired and charged all within a few weeks. do you think this is a change in how authorities react to the incidents? >> i am hoping it is a change. i don't want it to be a black thing versus a white thing. those are black cops and you did it to them. they need to have them prosecuted instead of starting an investigatio

mrs. johnson for that. the nexus in the johnson's went way back. hey were both in washington when lbj got their, a little earlier than mr. nixon when he was first elected to the house in 1926. but, when nixon was vice president of the united states and therefore senate presiding officer of the senate, lbj was the majority leader. in fact, one of the seminal pieces of the first civil rights legislation, it was passed during the eisenhower administration. nixon worked very closely with johnson rustling up the votes for that. just -- martin luther king day who nixon had met had sent nixon a letter afterwards saying, it could've been -- it could not have been done without your effort. that's another example of how both sides of the aisle can work together to get things done. i think this is such a great example of one president honoring the work of one of his predecessors from a different party, often on different sides of the issues. but, recognizing in what i think is a great tradition, which we use more of, maybe i should say that. showing that in th

mr. johnson, we have some chris so closer to so great. so we're miller, has our 2 political correspondent listening attribute needed. let me just tell you the how that took me by took me by surprise, was unused to hearing a chance of a shots making quite dry political speeches. and it started off very much like that . thank you very much. this is what's going on in ukraine, but then he, he seemed to sort of having dealt with ukraine and said, but russia hasn't got what it wanted and the west is coming together. and he sort of seem to do a hard turn. i went into cell mode to the gathered business, c, e o's and, and, and sold germany as a, as a country that, that is going towards our climate neutrality. our laws are going to be very flexible. he made a big thing as well about the country's training opportunities and pushed immigration, which is m as a good thing, which is something that few in his position would have done is always interesting to listen to all our so speeches and to listen to those details because they do come as a surprise

mr. johnson said. this is not true. and this is a lie, and moreover, i will tell you.s a name, you should probably ask if he sent it or it was not conscious and in fact he did not understand what it was about. talking to him, president putin then becomes a little uncomfortable back to the interlocutors of our president. i uh that's a lie no threats were made. speaking of challenges for the security of the russian federation president putin noted that in the event of ukraine's entry, the potential deployment of nato or american missiles at our borders would mean that any missile would reach moscow in a matter of minutes. now, if this passage was thus you were in a very embarrassing situation. but this is what, in which direction they were incorrectly translated exactly, this johnson said, you said putin's words in johnson said that putin was threatened by johnson. i do not want to offend you do not. it hurts you to offend in this case, but the question is is that, as it were, it is clear that in this case, the missiles would not pose a danger to him personally, but the

mr. johnson. mr. johnson: i thank the chair for yielding. mr. speaker, i rise in support of h.r. 21, the strategic production response act. instead of unleashing america's vast domestic energy resources, president biden has hobbled our nation's energy production, resulting in fuel shortages and rising energy costs for all american families. he went so far as begging foreign dictators for oil instead of uplifting america's economy. it's worth noting that just a few short years ago america was energy independent. house republicans have made it clear that we are going to hold the biden administration accountable for its actions. as we sit here today, president biden has drained around 40% of our strategic petroleum reserve. the reserve was established to be used for national emergencies, not for cheap political points or band-aids for failed policies. the strategic production response act would require the biden administration to replenish and maintain the strategic petroleum reserve and the legislation would require the secretary of energy to come

mr. johnson. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia is recognized. mr. johnson: i thank the gentleman for yielding the time. i rise in strong opposition to the h.r. res. 11, which would create a select committee on china. the only reason why we are creating this select committee on china is because extremist maga republicans in last week's circular firing squad election for speaker, the speaker had to promise to allow creation of this committee. so what i fear, because we have known for a long time, we watched china rise. we know their activities. we know what kind of competition they pose us economically, national security, intellectual property, human rights, all of these issues, we know where we stand with china and each of those issues are covered by jurisdiction, by committees of jurisdiction that exist right now. any investigation that is done can be done through the existing committees. why are we creating this committee? i feel that it is to create a platform to unleash anti-asian hate and division. and this committee should not be used as an open

mr. johnson. it will last only one minute according to the ex-prime minister of great britain putin saidhis after warning that the war in ukraine will have catastrophic consequences in the kremlin, putin's spokesman has already reacted to this dmitry peskov peskov completely predicted how else he called it a lie well, from this we can say that he called boris johnson a liar, ay but this is russia, the supply of western-made tanks to ukraine is not an escalation of the russian war in ukraine, this is what the representative of the foreign policy service said today during a briefing of the european union peterstanum, on the other hand, according to him, this is a response to the aggression and escalation that occurred specifically on the part of russia, meaning the intensification of hostilities in the east of ukraine. well , as well as massive shelling of critical objects infrastructure, at the same time, mr. stanu also emphasized that the member states of the european union provide ukraine with weapons for defense and will continue to do so as long as it is necessary for a complete victo

we saw images today along with everyone else of mr johnson appearing in, as you say, borodianka and buchavely destroyed in the initial russian advance last year, early on in this invasion. there he was greeted warmly by some people. he met with local officials as well before heading to the presidential palace, where volodymyr zelensky greeted his guest alongside his cabinet. we are told by kyiv that this was an unofficial visit, but it did look pretty official. he met the whole cabinet, and then the former prime minister and ukrainian president sat down and exchanged words, and we are told they talked about the best way is mrjohnson could help ukraine going forward, and what we hearing is that they wanted mrjohnson to travel to kyiv, because he is a friend of ukraine, in their words, and has been a long—time ally. and it is true that when mrjohnson was in office, he sort of lead the way amongst western allies in providing military support for ukraine early on. he was the first g7 leader to visit in april, where he worked through the streets of kyiv, since russia first retreated from the c
