mrs. miller: mr. speaker, i yield three minutes to the gentleman from louisiana, ranking member of the aviation subcommittee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. >> thank you. i want to thank the gentlelady from west virginia. mr. speaker, thank you for the recognition. i want to thank congressman defazio, chairman defazio and ranking member sam graves for their work on this legislation. once again, mr. speaker, that is demonstration of bipartisan cooperation, what we were sent here to do as opposed to the politics we have all seen that has hijacked our government in recent months. mr. graves: the reality is the real needs of the american public and this is an example of that. this legislation is very simple. airports are not like other traditional road ways. you have a runway that's usually at most airports one runway and that's it. when that runway goes down that airport can't function. can't have flights come in. can't have commercial or general aviation operations. this legislati

mr miller, who has been self—isolating for the past five days, confirmed he had contracted coronavirusy. top us general mark milley and other military leaders are also quarantining after coast guard official admiral charles ray tested positive. other officials are self—isolating "out of an abundance of caution". our north america correspondent peter bowesjoins me now. the numbers are climbing, aren't they, in terms of those who have coronavirus, who have been to the white house or are currently in the white house? yes, by all accounts the corridors on the west wing in the white house are very quiet at the moment because many people there are simply in isolation, soft quarantining, because they have either come into co nta ct because they have either come into contact with others who have contracted the virus or have contracted the virus or have tested positive themselves. with this latest news that another one of president trump of my closest advisers, his scriptwriter, has also tested positive, it deepens the crisis and the problem swelling around the white house because the president

mr. miller, him and i have had several one-on-one meetings particularly to pass on certain things to my office that he is not able to do at this time as he stands up his office. but we are all in communication and all working in a collaborative manner to ensure that the proper level of oversight is undertaken. >> do you feel like you need additional -- any additional guidance or clarity in terms of the roles you're playing respectively? >> sir, i do not. i believe that the act that stood up was pretty clear. i do believe that, well, in some meetings we've discussed quicker access to data, but i'm pretty sure that's something the executive director -- >> would you like to respond to that? >> i think that the cares act beyond just relying on our axis authority in our role generally as congress it was very clear we had very expansive authority. we had very expansive responsibilities, and we led by our controller general have gone on in that direction. we generally have had very good cooperation with the agencies that are included. so it's an expansive role and clearly states. >> the gentleman's t

mr. wash, thank you. sen. miller-meeks: we have to be able -- mr.we have to be able to provide help to targeted businesses that did not receive help during the original cares act. there are a tremendous amount of democrats new mexico. we can definitely do that right out of the chute here. we need liability protection for businesses that are doing it safely and right. they should not have to fear frivolous lawsuits and all this. we also have to start bringing manufacturing back to this state and country. covid laid bare that the chinese had a great deal of our supply chains in their control. that has to stop and those jobs can come to new mexico. the group that can help most with that would be congress. they can step in right now, but that is not happening. we watched two months of fighting going on between the house and senate on both sides. it's leading everyone here at home out to dry. what are two things you would not include? the house has included letting violent criminals out of prison as part of a covid relief bill. that does not belong there

mr. millers and others. you've got the supreme court nominee on saturday where the president of notre dame was also there. and there's lots of video i've seen of people sick with covid hugging other people, not wearing masks, not social distancing. and this is a group of people associated with the president who has been so scornful of science and scientists. who mocked joe biden for wearing a mask tuesday night. said, oh, this guy, everywhere he goes, he's got a mask on that's so big. everyone wants donald trump to recover quickly and make his way back to the campaign trail, but he is fwhoun of tnow one of the people who is infected with covid in part because he ignored the best scientists in the world, eli. >> and he did it for six months. it's not that it was inevitable, but it is shocking when you learn that he has tested positive for coronavirus at 1:00 in the morning. given how cavalier he's been about mask wearing, expressing skepticism to dr. fauci and others in his own administration about the things

mr. miller talked about isis and al qaeda in particular. they were out, they believe, on some holy war.nd the folks in the tco's, they are not out there for what they think of as god or maybe they do, but it's for money. and if we can get at the money, and start to cut off their ability to gain the benefits of their evil produce in the case of drugs and trafficking and in the case of humans, we're going to really be able to start to put a major dent in their operations and in their threat to both mexico and to the united states. >> i would agree with what mr. cuccinelli just said. i would just add that we've found over 112 years at the fbi, whatever kind of enterprise we're talking about, in this case, the transnational criminal organizations, if you really want to dismantle the enterprise you have to go after the money as well. because in effect, the money becomes their infrastructure. and so, you know, the value of global crime ranges between one and two trillion annually, but about 300 billion dollars are attributed to u.s.-based tco's, transnational criminal organize networks, so fi

. >> mrs. miller you are recognized for questions. >> thank you chairwoman and ranking member. >> patients need access to life-saving cures and we need these at a cost that will not break the bank. i'm a cosponsor of hr 19 the lower cost more cheers act to help accomplish these goals the congressional budget office estimated at the low end this legislation would and 38 new cures coming to market other estimates said to take more than 100 fewer into the hands of patients. either way just one less life-saving drug on the market is one too many. what is the cure taken out was the cure for leukemia or als? we must encourage innovation without the heavy hand of the federal government and put life-saving prescriptions in the hands of the patient at a reasonable price. hr 19 would do all of this. doctor, how much does your company spend yearly on research and development? >> approximately $10 billion. >> now i will pose the same question to you. how much do you use your company spend? >> in the last year bef

i think confusion is there in the length and breadth of mr miller's contribution.eing penalised unfairly by this wales wide lockdown. well, there are few areas in wales now i'm afraid that areas in wales now i'm afraid that are not above the 50 in 100,000 threshold and that includes chepstow, which is above 50 today. there is only one local authority which still holds out below the 50 and that is why we need a countrywide effort. i think those parts of wales that have been protected by the actions of others over recent weeks understand that we need every person and every part of wales to be making their contribution over the next two weeks to putting our nhs back on track, breaking the chains of transmission that are allowing coronavirus to get out of control and allowing us all to have a pathway through to christmas where we don't need to have restrictions of this severity again. but why not have a more nuanced, more sophisticated approach with different tiers as we see in england, in scotland they are going to have five tiers. you have a one size fits all. well,

mr. speaker, i rise today to remember specialist alexander j. miller. a young soldier who served our nation in the armed forces and was sadly killed in combat in afghanistan on july 31, 2009. alex attended east ridge high school in claremont, florida, and soon after graduation enlisted in the u.s. army being assigned to the first battalion, 3 nd infantry regiment, third brigade combat team based in fort drum, new york. he had hoped to attend the university of central florida after completing his tour of duty but that dream vanished when his unit was attacked. he was awarded two medals posthumously. may his memory and sacrifices be a reminder to all of us of his service and love of country. our thoughts and prayers remain with the entirety of the miller family and his community these many years later. thank you, mr. speaker, today i rise today to celebrate the legacy of a local resident and hero of florida's 15th district, first lieutenant ivan lecowich. a devoted husband and loving father who served his country in uniform and killed in afghanistan on se

miller, are they all quarantining? have they all been tested? >> we tested our core staff. mr. kushner, mr.e've all come back with negative results and yet at the same time i fully expect that as this virus continues to go on other people in the white house will certainly have a positive test result, and we've got the mitigation plan in place to make sure that the government not only continues to -- to move forward but the work of the american people continues to move forward, and so even as recent as -- as this morning at a little after 8:00 the president was giving me a number of things to make sure that i get done, and i'm sure that i will actually have those do outs have to be back to him later today. i've got to wrap. i'm not going -- i wanted to come out and give an update to all of you so that -- to show the courtesy of giving an update. we'll have future updates. i'll be gladded to do that but any other specifics at this point -- >> you just heard the white house chief of staff mark meadows there. notable, too, that it was him who came out, by the way to address, not the press secre

mr. pillpow. next speaker, please. >> operator: you have five questions remaining. >> hello, this is hayden miller. there's been some confusion on the slow streets webpage. it directs people, if they've seen some direction on signage, it directs them to twitter. however, when they've been doing that, m.t.a. directs them to call 311, which is sending them in circles basically. it would be better just directing them to 311 if that's the point of contact. the second is in regards to bus shelters through clear channel. the maintenance has been going downhill. the bus shelters have been dirty. broken glass, everything. they're not very durably built, so there's no reason why the city should be giving clear channel a discount when they're not performing the service. >> thank you. are there any speakers on the line? >> operator: you have four speakers remaining. >> yes. this is barry toronto again. i want to ask that you pull the calendar item 17.4 related to taxis, so we can have a separate public presentation and separate public comment. second, i know this is going to sound like a broken record, give a

miller just the latest to test positive. trump continues to play down the virus, even after his three days in hospital. joe biden says he won't debate the president if he is stillll infectcted. mrden: well, i think if he still has c covid, we should not debate. reporter:: trump insists their face-to-face next week will go ahead. division even here. and yet the show goes on. phil: straight to washington, where we join maya shwayder. where are we on the state of the president's health? what do we know? what don't we? maia: that is an excellent question. we know he is back in the white house. and according to his doctors, he is working perfectly fine. he has no symptoms. this whole ordeal, not just the past day or so, but throughout the weekend when he was in the hospital, really has been to show strength, to show he is working through it, continuing his work. it is not a big deal, he has got it under control, and everything is going to be just fine. even the show we saw when he returned to the white house with the lights and the c cameras,, takingng off his mask on the balcony, was really to show that he is back and everything is going to be fifine. of course, there arere big que

and we handled it responsibly, and i think captain miller's testimony to that effect is the best evidence. ms. frederick: governor carter. mr. carter: well, i'm reluctant to comment on the recent report. i haven't read it. i think the american people have only one requirement -- that the facts about mayaguez be given to them accurately and completely. mr. ford has been there for 18 months. he had the facts that were released today, immediately after the mayaguez incident. i understand that the report today is accurate. mr. ford has said, i believe, that it was accurate, and that the white house made no attempt to block the issuing of that report. i don't know if that's exactly accurate or not. i understand that both the the -- both the department of state and the defense department have approved the accuracy of today's report, or yesterday's report, and also the national security agency. i don't know what was right, or what was wrong, or what was done. the only thing i believe is that whatever the knowledge was that mr. ford had, should have been given to the american people 18 months ago, immediately after the mayaguez inc

kushner, stefino and i think steven miller was there, they are all quarantining, have they been tested. >> we've tested all of our core staff and i could tell you that mr. kushner, mr. skefino and myself and a number of us have been tested and come back with negative results. and yet at the same time, i fully expect that as this virus continues to go on, other people in the white house will certainly have a positive test result. >> doctor, he's saying there essentially that they're in the clear because they got negative test results. but that is not correct because of what we have come to learn about the incubation period of this virus, right? >> exactly. that is really unfortunate, kate. it is a fallacy in reasoning. these people could easily be harboring virus that is not yet detectible by the test. also we know that the test that the white house relies on has a high false negative rate of at least 30%. just because they have a negative test they're not good to go. >> and they should still be wearing a mask. that is another reason the negative test and park meadows said to our jim acosta he felt he was at a safe distance and didn't need to have a mas

miller, are they all quarantining? have they been tested? >> we tested all of our core staff, and i can tell you that this to kushner, mr.'s covino -- mr.myself have been tested and come back with negative results. other people in the white house will certainly have a positive test result, and we've got the mitigation plan in place to make sure that the government not only continues to move forward, but the work of the american people continues to work -- to move forward. morning,ecent as this a little after 8:00, the president was giving me a number of things to make sure i get done, and i am sure i will back to hime those later today. i've got to wrap. [indiscernible] to ask -- ing wanted to come out and give an update to all of you, to show the courtesy of giving an update. we will have future updates. i will be glad to do that. but any other specifics at this point would be not -- [indiscernible] to marku are listening meadows, white house chief of staff, discussing president trump's diagnosis, testing positive for covid-19. the new headline, trump kept regular schedule after learning a close aide had covid. he says white house core

miller, is the line a little cleaner. can you hear me. >> i can hear you now. sorry about that. >> that's all right. when the president found out mr. guiliani could be supplying him with russian disinformation or misinformation what was his reaction? >> our reporting indicates he sort of shrugged his shoulders and basically said, that's rudy. i think the national security advisor who briefed the president came out of that meeting kind of uneasy and not believing that he had gotten through to the president because he went into that meeting trying to impress upon presidential candidate to impress upon president trump that he should not be listen to what rudy was bringing back from ukraine that it likely included bad information intentionally planted by russia. he should ignore it and stay away from it and trump wouldn't do that. >> can we be clear exactly what the concern is snrz that rudy guiliani may have been doing something outright illegal or just foolish trusting people with bad information. >> well our story didn't make any allegations that rudy guiliani was doing anything illegal here. of course, i mean, there are many people

mr. trump was tested regularly. the reality of this virus and its persistence despite donald trump's efforts to wish it away, deny it continue to become more evident. even miller one of trump's longest serving and closest aides, he of the muslim ban and kids in cages fame just tonight reported he has tested positive. miller's in quarantine. his wife who also works in the west wing already contracted the coronavirus and has since recovered. nbc news has confirmed at least 18 people connected to this white house or the trump campaign have now tested positive for covid in recent days. we've also learned the vice commandant of the coast guard, admiral charles ray, he's positive. nearly all of the joint chiefs of staff including the chair of the joint chiefs, mark milly, now in isolation. put another way just about our entire military leadership and working and living remotely. tonight white house press secretary kaley mcenany who's also positive and now has four deputies on her staff testing positive, defended the administration and said it's working to ensure safety. >> we're taking all necessary precautions. obviously there was an outbreak here in the white hous

including stephen miller, members of the trump family including jared kushner and ivanka trump who both hold positions in the administration. mitch mcconnell, the senate leader. amy coney barrett, mrhe us supreme court. so we just don't know how far this is all going to spread. it raises the question as well about joe biden, the biden campaign has not had anything to say on this issue thus far but we do know, of course, that donald trump and joe biden were in fairly close contact on tuesday night for that debate, the presidential debate in clevela nd. the presidential debate in cleveland. how close did they get behind the scenes, we just don't know. and it remains to be seen, we do know thatjoe biden is tested weekly. but with donald trump, it is equally uncertain, he is a 74—year—old man, he is technically obese, and he is in a high risk group when it comes to the coronavirus and combating it. david, do we know if president trump as well as joe do we know if president trump as well asjoe biden took coronavirus tests before that debate earlier in the week? we don't know exactly but there was a time, at least, when donald trump was getting tested, and mike pence, every day. now, ho

miller, a contributor to the bulwark, former communications director for jeb bush, and former top advisor to the anti-trump pack, our principles. i've been looking forward to this conversation. welcome to you both. mr. gibbs, i'm going to start by playing something for you. this is the president who says he's going to run angry yet happy and also content. here's a road test of that from today. >> why is that? >> he is a criminal. he's a criminal. he got caught. read his laptop. and you're a criminal for not reporting it. you are a criminal for not reporting it. >> so, robert, i read in axios about a new softer tone. do you think we can expect that? >> i don't know if we saw happy to angry just right there in the clip, but, you know, i -- it's hard to say. i'm still laughing at the lead in clip of this whole thing. you know, look, he's got to do something different. we know that. the question is whether inside of him, if his dna will allow him to do something different. there's no doubt that his campaign has been intelligent him he can't do the interrupting he did last time. and maybe the presidential debate commission essentially helped him by preventing him through the first at least 2 minutes of
