people in tennessee and six surrounding states.t v.a. employs -- t.v.a. employs over 10,000 people, some whom make millions of dollars per year. and this is in tennessee. tennesseans deserve to know how t.v.a. operates and compensates their executives. especially when t.v.a. covers a region that's 65,000 square miles and the compensation is to the tune of millions of dollars. there's no such thing as too much transparency. and i hope our friends in the media cover this. the t.v.a. salary transparency act requires t.v.a. to report to congress on the salaries of employees making more than $123,000 annually or the highest pay rate available for federal employees. specifically, t.v.a. must report on those employees' names, salaries and job responsibilities. i have continuously advocated for greater transparency from t.v.a. and other areas -- in other areas. as a state legislature and as mayor and now as a congressman and passing this bill is a step in the right direction. once again i'd like to thank representative cohen and ask my col

he talked somewhat about tennessee as well and he wanted to bring attention to the tennessee officials who were there with him because, of course, just over the ridge of the appalachia mountain range they were hit hard by hurricane helene as well. it turned out to be more than remarks. a news conference. i want to bring back kevin o'leary and trey gowdy and last thoughts. this was a lot of information. a lot of focus on fema. trey, honestly i'm a little confused whether or not you take away fema and replace it with executive actions for just north carolina or if he is talking about it as a whole as an agency. what did you take away? >> both. immediately he is going to bypass fema and use michael whatley to get what north carolina needs. in the long term he is pinging to do away with fema. you may have one coordinator to make sure the money gets to the states hit by natural disasters. i read both into that. >> harris: kevin o'leary, quickly before we let you go. off topic a bit here but something the president has kept his eye on as they begin to go to the first site in north carolina a

is really officials as well as perhaps some of their family members. welcoming mostly arrived in tennessee. again, on the left hand side, buses carry some of the 200 palestinian prisoners of just been released from 2 days or it's ready. so just see now they were thoughts to a military base just on the outskirts of garza where they were. they have prelim retreatment in there, and then as you saw from the helicopter, that didn't pick them up, they're taking them to the hospital in tell it to you to see if they do need any treatment they did seem to be in relatively good health. and that's what we're seeing on the screens anyway. thoughts, people have been continually crowding throughout the day in what's become known as hostage square at, you know, i've, i've been that i've seen these families that seen that day in day out. but uh, from uh, tweets really prisons earlier today, these prisoners, some of whom had been setting long prison sentences life sentences even for they've now been released and being treated in welcome does he have always in the occupied restaurant in ramallah, waiting ou

he's joining us from, from tennessee. thank you very much, mr. leah, for being with us on audra 0. i just perhaps the, if you could tell us how this scene is being received in israel this morning for us as being most of the leak is a very glad about these. dealing was a long way to install the circles around and families that will these almost for the come at last and they will be from the right wing case against the end of the. ready it but these inferior power lies and there's no ability to talk to them. and when we watch the beach or a little they the told the story, we'll see you guys saw it after the washington. trump is c, as the victory is, are this so much to benefit from the drop regarding the international staples and other issues with there is no one to refuse. every game clock is suggesting, okay, let me, i'll, i'll come to that in a moment and find out more from you about what the is really is the prime minister and the incoming trump administration may have negotiated or agreed to, but i just want it to get a little bit more on, on the far right. it israel because we

should it be different for california than it was for tennessee? >> well, we want to see is california make-- take the precautions that are necessary. look at mitigation plans and put these things into place. we just grieve with all of these families that have lost lives, have lost homes, have lost businesses and as california rebuilds, let's make certain that they are building in a way that is good stewardship for everybody involved in this process. we all want them to be successful and to build back successfully because like with upper east tennessee. i am working every single day with our local mayors, with home owners business owners making certain that the response from fema, from the federal government, from the sba is watching what the needs are for those individuals in upper east tennessee. >> and a soft support for conditioning aid to california then? >> you know, jacqui, i think as we look at how this money goes out, what we want to do is make certain that we are going to plan. what you always want to do is expect the best and make certai

so you're you're from tennessee. you're a congressman from tennessee. i always knew you. and you would always come on the show and you'd always be reasonable. look at california. is there anything about what is happening out there, be it with the fire, high level of taxation, burdensome regulation that you that you think is smart? >> well, a lot of people, sean, live there and a lot of people that i have a lot of friends and family, some have been affected adversely by the by the fires in the last several days. >> and my prayers continue to go out to families who've lost loved ones and obviously people trying to recover and rebuild. but people make a decision to live there and there's a lot of beauty and there's a lot of majesty about living in, in a lot of prestige about living out there. i think as we sit here at this moment and i listen to some of the criticism which i think is warranted for some of the leadership out there, the only advice that i would have for both sides, those who are being critical and the leadership is, i think, the timing of some of our criticism
