[ inaudible conversations ]. been on that committee most of my time in congress. there was a time that we were members of an institution and our key power was the power of the purse. we got behind the appropriations bills and we have been obligated to start the new fiscal year. little of that is left. >> my partner and i on the subcommittee, we still work very cooperatively at putting our bill together: both of us have a lot of fingerprints on the bill and they passed the house monthing ago and they pump up against the polarization between the parties and the republicans will not cooperate. revitalization and preservation of mobile home communities. that is new and important, but if we do not have a regular appropriations bill, we will be -- we will never see it happen. every bill has something like that. there is every reason to get that passed in december. democrats -- host: democrats the number is (202) 748-8000. republicans it is (202) 748-8001 . independent is (202) 748-8002. guest: the time comes when your career needs to come to

you're the spokesperson for all of america, you have to advocate for the president of the united states, but one of the things is there's a democratic national committee they have a spokesperson a and a spokesperson to do t -- could do this. it's clearly a trial balloon for which is the exact same thing they ran on in 2020 against donald trump and people who supported him. >> greg: it's like a precursor for another january 6th hearing in october that's coming up. it's the introduction to the next season of the miniseries insurrection. is this a w wise strategy? has a semifascist i find it offensive. >> judge jeanine: you want to carry it for all of us, we appreciate that, greg. this is the thing that so ironic is that he's doing this in philadelphia. independence park, the birthplace as though mike of a lot of the dash the birthplace of american government and their representatives that. but it's an indictment. it's an indictment of everyone who didn't vote for joe biden. 73 million people voted for donald trump, this is all about bringing donald trump back into the middle of things when the election isn't about donald trump. it's not about donald tru

of husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, children and grandparents in a safe and prosperous america. it is now my pleasure to introduce congressman bill paxon of new york, who chairs the national republican congressional committee. bill made sure that candidates had as much input in this document as sitting members, and he has largely responsible for the prospect of electing the first republican house majority in 40 years. thank you very much. ladies and gentlemen, this is truly an historic day. it was 40 years ago when republicans were last in the majority. the same year that i was born. we lost our majority in 1954. and i felt guilty ever since. today is the day we as republicans make our camp back with the people to take back their house and restore our faith in the institution of the congress. ladies and gentlemen, this contract is truly of, by and for the american people. its tenants rise from the common sense of the coffee shop. the business sense of main street, and the values that come from folks in living rooms, in towns large and small, across the great land that lies in front of this capitol. the problem with the debt with our democratic colleagues who find fault with this contract is clear. it's bee

in a post-roe america should our nation's a goal and the goal of this committee be to put aside, be to put aside the patient, angering partisanship and commit ourselves to serving and helping women? as political leaders and members of this committee you can support women with unexpected pregnancies by passing legislation that would provide better prenatal and medical care for the marginalized and women from communities of color. paid maternity leave and child care are steps the right direction. since may 2 there is been over 60 attacks centers like stanton healthcare. these attacks are unconscionable, and ultimately threaten the women who attempt to walk through our doors seeking access to our services be because of this stand has had to hire private security, a private security firm which is cost our organization thousands of dollars. for those who disagree with the supreme court's decision on roe, directing revenge and retaliation on centers like stanton healthcare is misguided, hateful, anti-women and must be condemned and stop immediately. today i am calling on all members of this

the new america foundation, a bipartisan think tank that focuses on a range of public policy issues including national security studies. doctor sherman, welcome to our committee, you may proceed with your opening remarks. >> chairman peters, ranking member portman, distinguished members of the committee, i am pleased to be here today to discuss the reauthorization of the department of homeland security countering weapons of mass destruction office, alongside acting assistant gary rasicot and dr. pritesh gandhi. -- against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats is most critical. one as we have all witnessed, responding to even a single one of these threats can be a significant challenge. an effective in coordinated effort is needed to combat the threat landscape that has become increasingly complex, highly dynamic, and potentially more catastrophic. given the importance of cwmd's mission, my agency, g. a. o., has been studying the office and its predecessors for a decade, on topics such as bio surveillance, chemical defence, nuclear terrorism and more. this past april, we reported on the status of functions transferred to cwmd from the former d

america and getting the ideas of scholars which are not always with us. as ranking member said the committee is hosting a series of these events to expand our engagement with national security experts and provide a unique opportunity to have public discussions on key national security challenges which are not always outside the public sphere. today's panel is focused on the threat of foreign malign influence activities and how the us government, especially the intelligence community should respond. this is one of the committee's oversight priorities going into the next cycle, we are particularly focused on ensuring government actions do not restrict, prevent or disrupt the first amendment rights of american citizens. i want to thank our panel. we have a group of experts that is very good, we look forward to questioning in a form which gives us some good ideas moving forward. >> we have panelists with significant national security experience which i want to get into the meat of the issues and provide a couple highlights of each person's background, they are all impressive with diverse experiences and their heritage webpage includes their full bios, brian kavanaugh i

hiding the donations of foreign nationals, of people who don't even live in america who are trying to influence our elections? i held a hearing on the bill in the rules committee on the disclose act this summer where we heard about the effects that secret money is having on our democracy and why we need to pass the legislation. senator whitehouse testified at the hearing and he spoke powerfully about the impact that secret money is having on our government affecting all aspects of our lives from the makeup of our courts to people's health care decisions to addressing climate change. we also heard from montana's commissioner of political practices jeff who told us how his state's version of the disclose act passed in 2015 with bipartisan support. let me repeat that. in montana, red and blue worked together and got this passed. i couldn't agree more that transparency in our democracy should not be a partisan issue. and regardless of political party, we should know who is spending on our elections. the american people know what's at stake so it is no surprise that campaign finance disclosure laws have overwhelming support. one recent poll found that in swing stat

but should the senate intel committee and other committees have classified briefings to know the scope of the damage possibly done to america's nationalwe want to make sure we're allowing the justice department to do their work. that's always a tension, but we team to find a way to balance that. i mean, what i saw from the last two days was absolutely atrocious. we always knew that he had taken these documents home. we knew he had not given them all back. but what i found out this week was that on june 3rd, his lawyers said that's it. we have given you all the documents. then the obstruction clearly continued to the point where we now learn that of these 13 boxes, there were over 100 classified that he still had, including documents that were in his desk. these documents, joe, were in mar-a-lago, a place where you rent out badminton nets and golf kaurt carts. these are top secret documents that could put people's lives at risk, that are trying to protect the security of our country. >> rob, you know, yesterday the world said goodbye to mikhail gorbachev. it reminded us, we played clips of ronald reagan standing at the wall, telling mr

committee for bringing us here to this moment. of course, our colleagues on the other side of the aisle for joining us in a bipartisan action to improve america's competitiveness. the national science foundation piloted the sbir program in the 1970's at the urging of members who recognized that investments in small business innovation benefits our nation as a whole and creates jobs. due to its success, congress made it a government-wide program. decades later, sbir has given back to the taxpayer an immeasurable -- in immeasurable ways. it has been so successful that the sbir model has been replicated in 17 countries. since coming to congress myself, i devote mondays to visiting manufacturers or businesses in my district in what i call manufacturing mondays. ich showcases southeastern michigan's innovation economy. and our work force. i have seen the powerful impact of the sbir program firsthand in these visits and previous to coming to congress i helped companies and small business innovators apply for these grants. last december i had the privilege of visiting the team at geofabrica, a development company in auburn hills, michigan, to hear about their exciting d.o.d.-funde
