does general kelly stand by the statement he made yesterday that he felt he was grants that felt she was grandstanding? ms. sanders: absolutely. general kelly said he was stunned that representative wilson made remarks about her own actions in congress, including lobbying president congress, president obama for funding. general kelly said if you are making it about yourself you are an empty barrel. if you don't understand that, as reference, i will put a little more simply. as we say in the south, all hats and no cattle. when she was talking about what she did in congress she was not talking about , securing $21 million. she was talking about naming the building. she then went on to effusive lee ly praise, and that was the bulk of the speech. ms. sanders: she also had quite a few comments that they that were part of that video that were also witnessed by many people that were there. what general kelly referenced yesterday. reporter: tell us specifically. ms. sanders: exactly what he said. there was a lot of grandstanding. he was stunned she took that opportunity to make about it about herself. reporter: c

the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from illinois, ms. kelly, for five minutes. ms. kelly: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise yet again because americans are dying each and every day. the epidemic of gun violence has ended too many futures before they begun, left too many empty seats at the dinner table, torn too many families apart and left too many communities asking, how many more before congress acts? mr. speaker, i can't blame them. with 90 americans dying from guns every day, this house and this speaker continue to turn a blind eye to this epidemic. mr. speaker, earlier this month, one man carried out this nation's worst mass shooting in history in just 11 minutes leaving 58 americans dead. these are mothers and friends, sons and brothers, people just trying to enjoy some country music. instead of going home to their loving families, instead of going home and being greeted at the door by their toddler, they were carried away in bags. they are now another tragic statistic, another empty seat at christmas dinner. lives taken, lives with such potential, lives that were

joined us today and those watching online who are participating today now it is my honor to recognize ms. kelly for her opening statement. >> thank you for holding this important hearing we will examine the federal law and regulation governing the political advertising just one month at the reveal that russians spend $100,000 to buy 3,000 ads to influence the 2016 election. those reached 10 million americans. these are just the numbers we know of. there are likely many more that were purchased directly or indirectly by the russian government. u.s. campaign finance law prohibits the money but allows it to purchase issue ads. all must carry a disclaimer which is both disclosed to the buyer but this does not extend to the digital ads like those that run on facebook. the russian government exploited these loopholes in the 2016 election's russians were able to take advantage of the antiquated campaign finance ruleintegratede misinformation campaign on facebook, twitter and google. they targeted their ad sometimes posing as community activists with the intention of turning americans against americans

ms. kelly asked you a question, and i don't think you adequately answered. are there any federal government regulations on political ads placed in the newspaper? is there anything a newspaper has to do? by law? >> as the primary responsible party, no, it's on the advertiser. >> so, and you say federal regulations should be platform-neutral. so it would also, by extension, be the federal government should not place any regulations on internet platforms as well. treat them the same as a print newspaper, is that correct? >> as long as the regulation around the advertisement itself is the same. as long -- if there are disclosure regulations on whoever they're from, they have to be whether it's online or on your watch, it's, you know, people are consuming content in every way. so the requirements, whoever they may fall on, should fall without regard to the platform. >> all right. so, mr. rothenberg -- actually, is there anybody on the panel who disagrees with that? >> well, i would, i would just add one kind of code da to it. the law has long -- and i'd defer to

ms. kelly. thank you for holding this important hearing. we will examine federal laws and regulations governing political advertising just one month o after facebook revealed that the russians spent a hundred thousand dollars to buy 3,000 ads to inform of the elections. they reached 10 million americans. they're just the numbers we know of. there are likely many more ads that were purchased directly or indirectly by the russian government.r it prohibits foreign money and election but it allows them to issue ads all political ads must carry a disclaimer which is disclosed through the buyer of the ad but this requirement does not extend to digital ads like those that run on facebook. the russian government exploited these loopholes. in the 2016 elections they were able to take advantage of that. with the miss information campaign. date micro targeted their ads and sometimes posing as community activists but the intention of turning americans against americans. they thought this way they would be with fake news. more than ten years ago. that w

issa, ms. kelly and mr. meadows earlier this year. today the federal government spends more than $90 billion on federal i.t. with approximately 75% of this money spent on archaic and legacy i.t. this means we are paying more for less, less capability and less security. meanwhile, mainly federal i.t. investments often -- major federal i.t. investments often result in cost overruns and delays. this state of affairs led the government accountability office to designate federal i.t. acquisition and management as high risk in 2015. meaning this area is at risk of waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement. in 2014 congress passed the federal information technology acquisition reform act, otherwise known as fitara, to address some of these i.t. challenges. congress has maintained a watchful eye to ensure agencies fully implement the requirements of fitara and use it as a vital oversight to go. in fact -- tool. in fact, the oversight and government reform committee has held five hearings on fitara implementation. the committee also created a fita

ms. giffords: the nation is counting on you. mr. kelly: thank you, everybody. >> what do you think has been the deficiency and we have been at this over and over again, is there something that you are requesting? do you feel there is something in your legislative strategy that has failed? y does this not resonate and -- mr. kelly: polarization of our politics and people lining up on the side of a powerful corporate interest with a lot of money who happens to support a lot of candidates to get them elected to office. and that's a problem. reporter: how do you overcome that? mr. kelly: we have been working to overcome this with the resources that we have to put the people in office that will accept this as a public health issue, that will work to come up with responsible and sensible solutions that by the way, protect the second amendment but at the same time keep guns out of the wrong hands. the resources are not balanced. we are always looking -- you know, it's quite out of balance until we work on fixing campaign finance reform, it will

kelly was trying to make thursday and that he undercut with his misrepresentation of ms. wilson. he needs to set the record straight. philip, how did this go so wrong? >> let me just start by pointing out to the viewers that don't know the ins and outs of the newspaper business that i'm a reporter, not part of the he had editorial board. >> yes. forgive me. >> no. that's correct. >> there's a wall between the two, ideally. >> this all went wrong starting monday afternoon when the president made this an issue and began to politicize this incident in niger where four soldiers were killed. the president had been silent for 12 straight days about that. and immediately, you know, began an astack basically on president obama. it spierld out of control for this white house for five straight days. and i think yesterday chief of staff john kelly wanted to use his credibility as a battlefield commander, as somebody who had lost his own son to war to come out and try to put an end to this story, but he did not get his facts straight. he misrepresented what congresswoman wilson did in florid

kelly earlier this year. and when he left to become white house chief of staff, ms. nielsen came with him. if her nomination is approved, she'll go back to the home lala security department. she's not seen as having dramatic conflicts of interest that would preclude her from serving in this position and any other administration more attuned to ethical concerns. she's been known as as a relatively mainstream republican, i believe maybe a jeb bush supporting republican during the primaries, i would think. you would think that might preclude her from getting a job in this administration. they did roll out that nomination today and so for some reason the pro conservative trump machine hasn't objected. today we also learned that the acting director of pipeline safety, the newly appointed top federal regulator charged with overseeing the safety of pipelines, she apparently has not given up her job. that's like if you have one guy in town whose business is selling tires and fixing broken axles. and you decide to put him in charge of filling the potholes in town. like, maybe he'll be great at that

ms. cheney: i yield one minute to the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. kelly. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for one minute. mr. kelly: i rise in strong support of the rule and the underlying legislation. we come here today as members of congress but as we look at our country in the last several weeks, one of the things that's is first responders, those rushing to the scene to those who were suffering. we are first responders, we stand for life. we stand for the ability as a people and there's no other nation in the world like the american people who respond when other people are ining trouble, when they are in suffering, when they are in pain, when their lives are in danger and yet we turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to what we are doing to these children. these are little boys and little girls waiting to be born. if we do not stand for them who will stand for them? if we are not the first responders, who will be the first responders? if it is not us in the people's house that go beyond the hypocrisy of a political statem

. >> woodruff: brian, what does it mean if kelly ward is elected to the senate to take jeff flake's place? >> it's too early to make statements about msrd. >> woodruff: she's a self described very far right pop list. >> i worked on senator flake's campaign in 2012, i have a lot of respect and admiration for him. i think he made a smart, thoughtful decision today. everything he does, he does thoughtfully. but i think the bigger story here is the fact that republicans are united in a way behind this president that they haven't been since potentially the beginning of the year. if we weren't talking about the spats between senator flake and the president and other senators, we would be talking about the fact that the president and republicans in the senate are as united and as close to a significant dramatic legislative victory as they have been since the beginning of the year. >> woodruff: and you can say that even today with these very public divides, angry language going back and forth? >> yeah, i think it's noteworthy this is happening, but i think the larger story is that republicans are extremely close to an historic victory on tax

general john kelly making a pretty innocuous statement yesterday saying society no longer holds them sacred. he feels upset about that but ms chris matthews criticizes him taking a step further claiming the general is calling women weak. we'll bring in who says it's official the media will criticize the trump administration for absolutely anything that's after this don't go away. six in the morning. she thought it was a fire. it was worse. a sinkhole opened up under our museum. eight priceless corvettes had plunged into it. chubb was there within hours. they helped make sure it was safe. we had everyone we needed to get our museum back up and running, and we opened the next day. chevy, chevy, chevy trucks. we think it's because chevrolets are the most dependable dependable dependable trucks. built to last a long long time. with durable durability and rugged ruggedness. i like the extra power hauling power maxi power!!! and quality. seems they make them strong extra strong mile after mile after mile. ♪chevrolet! right in the heart of the was in his financial crisis, and saw his portfolio drop by double digits. it really scar

kelly. what did you make of today? >> i think he did as you reported, something he didn't want to do. i would have been happier had he not brought up the subject of ms. wilson, and then it would have been an absolutely clean delivery. >> the president has doubled down on the congresswoman. >> that's what happens when you make ad hominem arguments. it doesn't get it off the table. it brings it up again and makes it -- and recycles it and makes it much more difficult to get rid of. >> was he as good representative for your beloved armed services? >> he said a really couple interesting things. they revolve around the wide gulf that exists between the people who are serving and the people who are being served. he asked whether or not anybody knew a gold star family. we'll go deeper than that. i think the statistics prove that most americans do not know anybody in uniform. i think that's a dangerous thing and i was glad that general kelly brought it up. >> you used to say to me, you could go door to door and go to 250 houses in this modern era before you found a family, on average in the united states, connected to the military. >> i could do the math. i

ms. schakowsky was asking on is chief legal officer john kelly, is he still employed by you or by equifax? >> yes, he is. >> and you were the ceo at the time that approved the terms of the retirement for david webb and susan mulldean. is there a classification that is permanent or fired for cause? >> there's an investigation going on by the board. >> mr. chairman, i know my time is collapsed here, if you will. but there's an article in wgn-tv that talks about equifax doing their own investigation into the three executives that sold their stock and profited and i guess they must have a pretty good investigative team there because between the press release that happened friday and then a story on sunday and today we have a revelation that those folks didn't know that this breach took place, i just hope we get to the bottom of this and, again, mr. chairman, i hope we can be given assurance to the committee and the american people that this committee will have a markup and a hearing be bills that we can take to the floor before the holidays to give the american people consumers confidence aga

me now, ms nbc contributor for the "new york times" and mike willis at the hill, good morning to you both. given the optics of yet another situation here, what is the consensus in d.c., are kellyrson, are they the only thing keeping the country from chaos? >> i think that consensus is general kelly and the other generals are definitely keeping president trump from being as bombastic, as erational as impulsive as he would be. there is a reporting out there that aides said both kelly and president trump really coached him how to get through the las vegas shooting and his reaction, so they essentially urged him to really think about how he was going to tweet, to keep it simple, focused. of course, they didn't do that they tried to do that with puerto rico. obviously, that was a completely different situation t. issue is tillerson, everyone in d.c. sees him as a lame duck secretary of state. he's one people thinks his days are numbered. he's on record essentially or he's even accused of calling the president a moron and hasn't definitively said he did not call the president a moron. he is in real trouble, those i talk to don't think he will last longer. >> do you agree with that a

kelly he's also still injured. had a rib injury and came back and injured himself again. he's dealing with two different ail msive season. 4.5 yards per carry with the football and he's going for 23 yards on seven attempts in the last two weeksho missed one game and sparingly against chiefs. the last time we saw him healthy against the rams he was dominant in the first h half. >> if your ribs are injured i cannot imagine how it is to be power running back through the tabling when's every single play somebody is hitting your ribs and ribs are connected to your core. every time you want to cut and move, your ribs and core are injured. so he's going to have a tough rests of the season until he gets that taken care of. >> amagi p. ryan has looked fine and not garnered many yards created bit scheme and matt brown was limited in his time against oakland. do they need rob kelly healthy now or is this a luxury to have him back as starter. >> i think they need him. it's consistency i imagine will you tell me if i'm wrong offensive line has to have a feeling of what type of backs will be there. if you guy comes in and g

kelly, held a press conference to talk about the mass shooting in las vegas. they called on congress to take action through legislation to address gun violence with ms. giffords being a victim of the shooting in 2011. his is 20 minutes. >> good morning, everyone. i'm katie peters with americans for responsible solutions, the gun violence prevention organization founded by former congresswoman gabrielle giffords and his husband captain mark kelly. gabby and mark are here today to share a few remarks with you all. following the remarks we'll take a couple questions. i'll hand it over to mark. mark: good afternoon, everybody. today is a very dark day for our great country. thousands of lives are forever changed by what happened last night in las vegas.
