Cares about our system of governance and representation will learn from your hard work and deep research. Despite the subtitle, the swamp creatures, latte liberals and ruling class elites cashing on america. S. You instead outline rational doable common sense reforms that we should support and we should. Why does it matter that politicians are rich even if theres a perception that they are allowed to feather their nest . Yeah, i think the reason it matters because eroding trust in liberal democracy and elected officials and we have seen a certainliulation i would say in the last four or five decades between the gap widening between our elected officials and normal average americans and at the same time, weve seen the erosion of trust in our elected officials. Now, that parallels a loss of trust in a lot of institutions but politicians are actually at the bottom, members of congress specifically less popular than colonoscopies and thats why the book matters. Have they always been richer
Lets go, guys. Lets go. The subcommittee will now come to order. Before i begin my opening statement, i want to make a general announcement to members about the process today. After months of trying to find a mutually acceptable date for a hearing, the committee was finally able to get a date with the administrator and we announced it. However last week we learned that the administrator was being summoned to meet with his boss, the president around lunch. Rather than postpone the hearing, or push the entire hearing to a Late Afternoon start time, or try to find another mutually acceptable date. We have come to an understanding of an idea for us to fully question the administrator. We will proceed with opening statements. We will recess at 11 00 a. M. , and reconvene in room 212 upstairs. I will also note that theres going to be a Voting Period in this last block and were going to try, with the help of my colleagues, to keep the hearing going through that vote series. I have done it bef
Database that searches when people attempt to purchase firearms but when the federal government doesnt do this it is reported that the air force simply through interventions, human error or somewhere failed to do it then there is nothing there to contradict the misrepresentation by the purchaser when they go to buymc it. We leave these remarks to return to live coverage of the senate here on cspan2 fficer wt objection. Mr. Mccain mr. President , in recent months the United States and Coalition Forces have achieved major gains against isis in iraq and syria. U. S. Coalition partners have liberated the capital of raqqa and syria, the pocket of hawija in Northern Iraq and just days ago the border town of alkine in western iraq. The socalled caliphate the terrorists claimed would overrun the middle east is now a shadow of its former self, a shrinking swath on a map once defined by an open reign of terror. Unfortunately, however, our challenges in the region remain daunting despite these ha
The agency he would lead. Hes also lobbied for Energy Companies and publicly doubted Climate Change. We have reaction from both sides of the aisle. In georgia, a manhunt expanding as officials search for a man in a fatal police shooting. Said to be armed, dangerous, and on the loose for over 24 hours. We want him to turn himself in peacefully. We want a peaceful resolution to this situation. If he turns himself in, he has nothing to fear from us. Jury foreman in the Walter Slager trial is speaking out why there was a mistrial in the case against the former Police Officer who shot an unarmed black man. Were learning more about the jury and what it took to get to that point. The majority of the time, it wasnt any racial attention or anything like that. Of course, it came up. We discussed it, but it wasnt, in my opinion, one of the major deciding factors. Dylan roof motioned for a mistrial because of the emotional testimony from one of the witnesses. Well have the judges response and what
Jobs. And jobs is one of the primary reasons im standing here today as your president. And i will never, ever disappoint you. Believe me. I will not disappoint you. I campaigned in the promise that i will do everything in my power to bring those jobs back into america. We wanted to make much easier, it has to be much easy to manufacture in our country and much harder to leave. I dont Want Companies leaving our country. Making their product, selling it back, no tax, no nothing, firing everybody in our country. Were not letting that happen anymore, folks. Believe me. There will be a very substantial penalty to be paid when they fire their people and move to another country. Make the product and think they will sell it back over what will soon be a very, very strong border. It will be a lot different. Its going to be a lot different. Youve heard me say it before, and i will say it again. From now on, its going to be America First. While the president is applauding boeing for keeping jobs
