virginia, north carolina, south carolina, and georgia. there will be no more fighting anywhere in the south until 1778. that means these colonies contribute support, troops, resources to the fight in the north. it means these governments can coalesce and these people can coerce loyalists. student: is there a battle in georgia? prof. gabriel: george is very -- georgia is very new, only settled in the mid-1730's, a very small population, and with everything else falling apart in the south, the governor literally flees. they actually arrest him and he escapes and goes on a warship. georgia rolls over and doesn't even fight. that is rage militaire in the south. we have one last topic, and that is boston. let's go back to our first picture. picture. it has been under siege since booker hill. -- bunker hill. the americans can get in and this british can't get out. george washington shows up immediately after bunker hill, and assumes command of this 20,000 man force and turns it into the main continental army. your book begins at this point. wash

the inland counties were inundated a as north carolina was and all the rain that fell in north carolina and those inland counties come through five river systems out georgetown county, south carolina. so my district was overcome by slow motion rolling disaster. if that wasn't bad enough, that was the third storm in four years. hurricane matthew hit us three years ago. and hurricane matthew awarded us $95 million to rebuild $1,350 houses for indigent families. and the speed the federal government moves as of now, 2 and a half years of a the storm, about 400 of those homes have been rebuilt. so we've got about 1,000 indigent south carolinians either gone or living in substandard housing. w in this storm 12,163 homes were quote-unquote, moderately damaged. i asked the definition, they said that means there was water in the speaker pro tempore: the house but less than two feet deep. my friends, we also incurred $200 million of agricultural damage. these last two storms our agriculture department didn't even ask for help from the federal government. the farmers are at their wit's ends. a far

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from north carolina is recognized for four minutes. mr. price: thank you, madam speaker. i rise in support of the legislation to reopen the government and end to this third trump shutdown. for the last two weeks, president trump has held america hostage to fulfill his demagoguic campaign promise to build a border wall. a wall that has come to symbolize extreme and inhumane immigration policies that are simply tearing our communities apart. this is more than just a political fight. the trump shutdown has closed federal agencies and suspended essential programs that millions of americans rely upon. it's created uncertainty for families, businesses and communities in each of our districts. to those federal employees affected by this unnecessary shutdown, know this. the president and his privileged cronies may not care about how you and your families pay your bills. but this new democratic majority certainly does care. as the incoming chairman of the transportation and housing appropriations subcommittee, i know this uncertainty has severe con

dozens of communities in eastern north carolina, some also hit by hurricane matthew in 2016, were entirely inundated for the second time in as many years. meanwhile, other states like florida, georgia, south carolina, california have been hit by terrible hurricanes and wildfires. puerto rico and other territories continue to slowly recover from powerful storms and typhoons. this legislation will ensure that the federal government remains an active partner in the recovery efforts. it provides more than $1 billion for flexible funding for the community development block grant disaster recovery program, including resources for mitigation and resiliency projects. the bill would clear out a $1.5 billion backlog of emergency highway and bridge repair projects, and it provides additional supplemental funds for army corps construction projects along our coasts and rivers, crop and livestock assistance for farmers, repairs at damaged military installations and other critical recovery activities. it reflects bipartisan priorities and ensures that american citizens, regardless of where they live, get

this is the house in raleigh north carolina that belongs to him. it was raided in the first week of december. it is a 17,000 square foot house. they intended to seek forfieture of the mansion and another condominium owned by him. that condo turned out to be a safe house where this guy was apparently storing ammunition and cash and large numbers of guns. they're also seeking $400,000 worth of mercedes benz vehicles that belong to teyf and also more than $39 million stashed in dozens of bank accounts. all accounts associated with teyf and his family. so where did this guy get the 17,000 square foot mansion and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of mercedes and the spare real estate. it seems like he had a condo just for his guns and his cash, plus $40 million in cash sitting around in a gazillion bank accounts. where did he get all of that? according to the federal indictment against him, he accumulated all of that through an epic money laundering and theft operation and the alleged victim of this alleged theft was the government of russia. this

here is how prosecutors in the eastern district of north carolina spelled out that part of the case in just one of the criminal complaints that has been filed in association with it. they say quote, while living in the united states leonid teyf employed a live in housekeeper who came from russia. the housekeeper, her husband and their son resided with the teyfs. at some point the employment ended and likewise their son left, as well. however, in february of 2018, teyf said his wife was involved in a romantic relationship with the housekeeper's son. teyf wanted additional proof of the cheating. teyf told the confidential human source he wanted to pay someone to get the housekeeper's son talking, then overdose him on drugs. quote, at another point, teyf told the human source he wanted the housekeeper's son to be kidnapped, taken into the woods, force to admit to having sex with teyf's wife on video and then he should be killed. teyf told confidential human source number one he hired a private investigator to help obtain information regarding the whereabouts of the housekeeper's son. ulti
