mullin, for phi minutes. mr. mullin: i can't tell you .hat a medicare card looks like anyway, thanks for being here. about a week ago we started getting people calling us saying they'd received a call from our office. pretending to be from our office to get personal information. their worries me because automatic trust we have built with our constituents is getting phone calls from people that supposedly being from our office. in business wene use a rule that you only receive about 1% of your actual complaints. and i would wonder if that were true if i'm only receiving about 1% of those that are receiving those calls. now, is there an enforcement that can -- do we lack enforce? -- enforcement? do we lack the ability to go individuals even if we get their information? what is the penalty for doing this? mr. kauffman, ms. canan, can one of you talk about that? mr. kaufman: we have seen a rise in impostor scams. i've seen a rise in calls to my office from people who have contacted by me, who have not been contacted

mullin and mr. pickering both are but this is also what i don't doubt, i don't doubt that that phone call was made to ms. mills saying don't send ms. lamb before congress she's not going to make a good witness and i don't doubt there is a transcript from any interviews. if you're going to writhe a report and write with a report with specificity, you have to site the transcript. i can't tell you a single question asked of a single arb witness because there is no transcript. my point is not that the arb did a bad job of a good job, my point is from the standpoint of a serious investigation, it was an inadequate job and i want to hopefully prove that to you. there used to be a stack up there when mr. smith was with us about the previous investigations that congress and arb had done. did any of those previous congressional investigations or the arb have access to your e-mails? >> mr. chairman, first of all, the witness you were referring to did appear before congress. >> that was not my point -- >> well

town celebrity mike mullins hung out then sang the national anthem and the kylie brothers were also great really so was the game. homecoming for the hillers of hopkinton but the defending super bowl champions the panthers wanted to play spoiler. but the hillers are no chumps. captain sam layman who is no lame man on a t.d. there. 21-7 the hillers were coming back but the matt liner look-alike barrett too good. holliston wins 35-14 to remain undefeated. >> they are a great team i respect the program so much. we are one step closer to our main goal which is league champ sip. >> we win these games -- championship. >> we these games sunday through thursday and go out and try to execute.

in looking at all the information, the accountability review board, and particularly admiral mullin focused on what happened, what the security personnel did that night, came out agreeing that they were heroic and they did all they could do to try to save their colleagues' lives. >> thank you. the gentleman yields back, madam secretary, i appreciate you going through their heroism, i really do, it's moving to hear and infuriates me to hear folks to my left who don't raise a single whisper about spending $50 million to train five isis fighters, but god forbid we spend one-tenth of that to give some answers to the family members sitting on the first row. i appreciate you discussing their heroism while some of my colleagues discuss money. with that, mr. pompeo. >> i want to add to that, i think mr. smith gave us soliloquy, it was elegant and representative of the behavior of the democrat on the panel. not one finger, not one question for the witness. the truth of the matter is they spent most of their time today, anybody can rewind the tape and find they attack members of the committee and the

chris mullins hopes his young squad can bring the school back to its glory days. >> there'll be a time for expectations. i think for this year, it's only realistic to put in the hard work, play together, play for each other, play disciplined basketball. and the expectations will come. steve: remember, fox 5 and fox sports 1 are your homes for all big east conference games this year. dari: we all know that fish tanks are gorgeous, relaxing, but a real pain in the you know what to clean. steve: they come in all shapes and sizes. imagine having to clean a 2,000 gallon tank. we put jen lahmers on the job in >> reporter: the staten island ferry terminal. while people wait, they have this 2,000 gallon aquarium and these big guys to keep them entertained. i met with brian sanders with a company that specializes in cleaning tanks. what kinds of fish? >> in this tank, we have pacus, we have lots of exotic south american fresh water fish. >> today i'll be swimming with these fishes to clean out the tank. casey is with the aquarium. >> reporter: you've got the brushes. i'm going to take your lead

admire mullin, former chairman of join chiefs of staff had led the arb's military review and concluded that the military had, and i quote, done everything possible that we could, end of quote. then the republican-led, the republican-led house armed services committee issued its report in february 2014, madam secretary, which detailed all of the steps taken by the military to mobilize upon hearing of the attacks including immediately redirecting a surveillance drone to benghazi, ordering two marine platoons to sfin deploy, one bound for benghazi, the other for tripoli, ordering the commanders in extremists force training in croatia to move to a u.s. naval air station in italy, and dispatching a special operations unit to the region from the united states. about his review, the chairman, howard buck mckeon, a republican, stated, i think i've been pretty well satisfied that given where the troops were, how quickly the thing all happened, and how quickly it dissipated, we probably couldn't have done more than we did, end of quote. chairman issa's oversight committee, which i'm the ranking

mullin. >> thank you, mr. chairman. gentlemen, thank you very much for your service and for taking on this difficult project. i know you haven't been asked to bring the best-looking date to the dance. and that's not an easy thing to do. i'm new to this, relative. my background is also as an infantryman. i have always taken the perspective on the f-they've there are a lot of miss high takes that have been made, an awful lot of costs, fund that is have been arguably waepsed over the years. this is far more expensive than any of us anticipated. but we're far enough down the line now where we've just got to make it work. would you agree with that statement? >> sir, i would agree that without arm chair quarterbacking or trying to figure out why decisions were made in the past, that we have incurred significant schedule and cost increases in the past on the program. some of them are normal to programs, others were a result of decisions that were made. what i would like to add, though, is since we rebaselined the program in 20

now you, a moment ago talked about admiral mullin but you appoint ad very distinguished gentleman, ambassador pickering. and of course admiral mullens served under republican administrations. and ambassador pickering who i have phenomenal amount of respect for, served 40 years as you know, as a part of our diplomatic core. he served under george h.w. bush and served as u.n. ambassador, he also served under reagan. let me go back to that question, why are people in libya and benghazi made so many requests. i want you to comment, seems to be an implication that the arb, the accountability reviewed board, was not independent. and i think the chairman said they were hand-picked by you. of course that is done by law. but i'm just, would you comment on those go things, please? >> yes, i'd be happy to. you know, as i said in my opening statement, i take responsibility for what happened in benghazi. i felt a responsibility for all 70,000 people working at the state department in usaid. i take that very seriously. as i said with respect to security requests in benghazi, back when i testified in januar

mullin. >> thank you, mr. chairman. gentlemen, thank you very much for your service and for taking on this difficult project. i know you haven't been asked to bring the best-looking date to the dance. and that's not an easy thing to do. i'm new to this, relative. my background is also as an infantryman. i have always taken the perspective on the f-they've there are a lot of miss high takes that have been made, an awful lot of costs, fund that is have been arguably waepsed over the years. this is far more expensive than any of us anticipated. but we're far enough down the line now where we've just got to make it work. would you agree with that statement? >> sir, i would agree that without arm chair quarterbacking or trying to figure out why decisions were made in the past, that we have incurred significant schedule and cost increases in the past on the program. some of them are normal to programs, others were a result of decisions that were made. what i would like to add, though, is since we rebaselined the program in 20

five years ago, i had chiefs of staff before me and i asked the question, it was asked of admiral mullins, i was intently listening and everybody give your opinion he said the debt of this nation is the greatest threat we face. the debt of this nation is the greatest threat we face. so i would say to you, do you believe we have enough money in the system, in the system, department of defense, if we can make the changes or are we unwilling to make the changes because we're going down the path? where if we flow more money -- i asked my grandfather one time, hey, papa, what's the difference between a democrat and republican. he said no problem, i can explain that to you. if you put a pile of money on the middle of a table, tax dollar, they'll both spend it all. republicans will feel bad about it but they'll all spend it. with that, i don't think we can print enough money. tell me if we can make if we just have to make sure we have enough. mr. preble: we could fund it at the levels they're talking about, 4%, 5% or more. we could. in real term, real dollar terms, -- i don't think it's wise to

mullin and mr. ashford, my colleagues on this committee. in addition to being with our troops deployed we visited with president ghani. what issues president ghani race was the threat of daesh within afghanistan. in your testimony today you state quote, daesh has grown much faster than kismet and has continued development in afghanistan presents a legitimate threat to the entire region. in the last you we've observe the movements increase recruiting efforts and growing operational capacity. i wanted to see if you could elaborate on specific what you were seeing on the ground in terms of increased recruitment effort, their operational capacity and their presence into 34 provinces in afghanistan. >> thank you, ma'am. i'm sorry i wasn't there when he came through. in fact, i was back you i think testified. thank you for taking to this. daesh or isil kp continue to be a concern of president ghani, dr. abdullah emissivity forces. pakistan has issues with the daesh. i've talked to the general about the. if you talk to president ghani did not ente

mullin. >> thank you mr. van hollen. and thank you, mr. chairman. i'd like to start my time with the definition that we attribute to one of america's greatest scientist, albert einstein. einstein said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. if einstein were alive today and he could witness the debate we're having on this reconciliation proposal, he would be able to see his definition of insanity in action. we are here today to debate and vote on a bill that would do the following things. attempt to repealed defend or otherwise undermine the affordable care act for the 61st time, despite it being upheld by the supreme court. attack yet again the right for a woman to choose where she receives her health care. and avoid yet again the misuse and abuse of the overseas contingency operations fund which, in last year's house budget report, the majority stated was, quote, a backdoor loophole that undermines the integrity of the budget process. therefore it baffles me that at a time when we should be coming toget

i was privileged to work with two superb chairmen of the joint chiefs of staff pete pace and mike mullin who were true ers. de the chairman along with the vice chairman is the one senior military officer with a stake in both current needs and future requirements. one of the great achievements of gold water was strengthening the position of the operational and the chairman relative to the service chiefs. i believe it is a general principle that must be sustained. service chiefs have a tenure of four years. combatant commanders nominally three years. yet the chairman and vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff have two-year renewable terms. i believe their positions would be strengthened by also giving them four-year terms. this would not diminish in the least their accountability to the president, the defense secretary, or the congress. second, a subject that has for years been a focus of this committee, the acquisition process. not only has goldwater hit the 30 year mark so too has the office of the secretary of defense. atnl was established because the service driven acquisition syst

but we aren't talking about the athletes. 6-year-old braden mullins asking a group of west virginia stateopers for their autographs. braden's mom says he wants to be a police trooper, with a police dog, when he grows up. so he can get the bad guys off the street. when braden was asked if he wanted a players' autograph, he said no thanks. and those are your headlines. >> smart little boy there. >> the next generation for and a salute to the cops. the little boy that was here talking about how he wanted to be a police officer and thank them for their service -- >> super hero. >> his goal is to be a police commissioner. he reached one goal. he met the current police commissioner and got a tour yesterday. >> a picture in the new york daily news where doing that -- >> speaking of the police, the police got a call yesterday morning, and it sounded, in the initial call, like rudy giuliani was involved in a car accident, and they called rudy's wife and said, hey, your husband has been involved in an accident. but, she didn't know, here? in new york? or in california. because he was supposed to be

, closer to $140 billion in dynamically scored money, moving the needle on the udget that admiral mullin, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said. i don't know where the vote will be. we started it in the budget committee. we conferced it with the senate. we then sent those reconciliation instructions out to the energy and commerce committee, the ed and labor committee, the ways a means committee, sent that work back to the budget committee. we then brought all that legislation together meerks -- -- together, mr. speaker. if you have a textbook case of how it's supposed to be done it's it. as a gentleman that's been disappointed in 4 1/2 years,o those that believe you get what you want every day of the week, it's not. the collective wisdom of the body, the collective wisdom from our committee structures and this bill does i there's only way to get to this bill, though, mr. speaker. that's to pass this rule today, house resolution 483, and i encourage my colleagues to do that. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance o

five years ago, i had chiefs of staff before me and i asked the question, it was asked of admiral mullins, i was intently listening and everybody give your opinion he said the debt of this nation is the greatest threat we face. the debt of this nation is the greatest threat we face. so i would say to you, do you believe we have enough money in the system, in the system, department of defense, if we can make the changes or are we unwilling to make the changes because we're going down the path? where if we flow more money -- i asked my grandfather one time, hey, papa, what's the difference between a democrat and republican. he said no problem, i can explain that to you. if you put a pile of money on the middle of a table, tax dollar, they'll both spend it all. republicans will feel bad about it but they'll all spend it. with that, i don't think we can print enough money. tell me if we can make if we just have to make sure we have nough. mr. preble:: we could fund it at the levels they're talking about, 4%, 5% or more. we could. in real term, real dollar terms, what we're spending now on our

but in looking at all of the information, the accountability review board, and particularly admiral mullin who was focused on what happened, what the security personnel did that night, came out agreeing that they were heroic and they did all they could do to try to save their colleague's lives. >> former secretary of state hillary clinton testifying this afternoon before the select committee on benghazi. detailing some of the events of september 11th, 2012, when the ambassador to libya, christopher stevens, and three others, were killed in benghazi, libya. it would be a year later before the first congressional hearing would begin. that would be the house oversight committee, october 10th, 2012. you heard the secretary talking about the accountability review board. that review was released on december 8th, 2012, and said in part that there were systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels in the state department. hillary clinton testified in january of 2013 before the senate foreign relations committee, a year and a half later, a little less than a year and
