. >> the intel committee is a special committee that keep secrets. it is a committee that's able to know her secrets. the committee that has a lot of information that congress does not. >> martha: earlier today mccarthy expressed he is quite alarmed that democrats seem, well, not to be especially given very deep concerns about russia's witch relentlessly for four years, >> and what do communists chinese have against the democrats that is so powerful? we have nancy pelosi who last year said it was a diversion to focus on china. you have adam schiff, now chairman of the intel committee saying it was just escalation. it was wrong to close up the consulate and use it. why can't the democrats admitted that china is our adversary? why can't they stand up to them? >> martha: china clearly with a battle plan is to dominate the united states by 2024. they say get that quite publicly. so today the united states punch back with new sanctions on the prc for human rights, best of trade secrets as well as they are undermining our efforts to counter illicit traffic

the committee. and going against special -- prior to the meeting. today's meeting has one -- and financially -- given now related to the product. including public hearings and the financial relationship -- with any effective -- product and -- we would like to remind sandy and the members that the discussion -- and inform the vehicle and include them -- this concludes -- thank you. and at this time, i would like to remind -- to make their remarks. please turn your camera on and unmute your speaker. >> thank you. >> thank you. good morning. i would like to take a moment, first of all, to welcome you all and also to provide a brief overview of the advisory committee on the role they play in ensuring transparency in the fda's decision making processes. fda uses advisory committee to obtain advice from experts who work outside of the government. it does so while working toward open and transparent government by presenting information under consideration in a public forum and encouraging patients, health

i was fortunate that my first committee assignments were to serve on the arms services committee as well as agriculture. strom thurmond was the very senior chairman who never even called me by my name. i was recognized as, quote, the senator who had the good sense to marry a fine, beautiful south carolina girl. my role on the armed services comoitd was simple. it was -- committee was simple, to collect the small change by the air force to continue to have the air corps as a the new war fighting lab. i had the privilege of being the senate intelligence committee chairman for four years during the iraq war and led the committee's investigation that exposed a worldwide intelligence failure and it resulted in a blueprint for the 9/11 commission and a better intelligence community that did keep our country safe. as chairman of the brand-new emerging threat subcommittee within the armed services committee, i traveled to cities of what remained of the former soviet union. and one of the soviet union's secret cities, we discovered a lab that had developed strains of pathogens that could do irrep

adam schiff is the chairman of the house intelligence committee, the same committee that republicans want swalwell booted from. schiff says this issue is closed. >> mr. swalwell did everything right. there was nothing -- no suggestion of any impropriety on his part. >> schiff says china has targeted members in both houses of congress. last week axios reported suspected chinese spy christine fang targeted swalwell first when he was a local politician and interacted with him at events over several years. fundraiseed for his 2014 reelection campaign and helped place at least one intern in his office. house republicans are calling for an investigation. senior republicans are urging speaker pelosi to remove him from the house intelligence committee charging swalwell is unfit to serve on that committee. house minority leader kevin mccarthy called him a national security liability and now senate republicans are questioning all this as well. >> there are bad actors trying to infiltrate the american political and economic system. china is at the -- >> swalwell said he cut ties with her and co

this is -- committee meeting room. they are hearing from steven mnuchin and fed chair jerome powell. testing 1, 2. >> 3, 2, 1. this hearing will now come to order. is in a hybrid format and the hearing room has been configured to maintain the recommended six foot social distancing between senators, witnesses and other individuals in the room necessary to operate the hearing, which we have kept to a minimum. , a those joining remotely few videoconferencing reminders which you should be familiar with at this point. once you start speaking, there will be a slight delay before your display on the screen. to minimize background noise, click the mute button until it is returned to speak or ask questions. issue,e is a technology we will move to the next senator until it is resolved. i remind senators and our witnesses the five-minute clock still applies. those remote should have on your screen one of the boxes labeled clock which will show how much time is remaining. we've had some trouble getting those boxes to everyone scre

be the chair of the agriculture committee. pretty exciting. following in the footsteps of the great leadership of collin peterson. african-american. historic. a woman and african-american. contested races. throughout our leadership, half of the leadership were women and people of color in chairs of the committee. there are more chairs to be announced, but these are the ones that related to rules and budget related to the steering and policy committees. those were two of the speaker's announcements that i made. others will follow. as i said to the members then, we held the house. we'll hold the gavels. 132 of them starting with the 18 that were chosen yesterday. but i'm excited about it because when they made their presentations of the several days this week, it was a demonstration of values, of knowledge, of commitment to america's working families in every one of our committees. a beautiful diversity of those committees as well. so it was a cause for celebration. as you know, we are in the -- let me do this right. oh, wow. it

we just finished doing committee chair races which the steering committee plays an important role in and next we will be working on committee assignments and my primary goal will be making sure that my fellow freshman democrats who are incredibly inspiring and thoughtful people are in a position where they can have a real impact for our country and their district. >> you mentioned that armed services was a priority for you. what else would you like as a committee assignment? to served really like on the foreign affairs committee. that was my background. one of the big challenges that we are going to be faced with a new president as we work to rebuild america's standing around the world. viewe got an inside because you are on the committee. when will you know if you have achieved the committees you wanted or not? >> i'm hoping we will be able to get our committee assignments. it is sometimes extended to the first month of the new congress. >> the 117 congress will have at least 121 women. does gender matter when it comes to congress? will the presence of women have any effect on the l

under 26 united states code section 6103f, our committee is legally and absolutely entitled, our committee is legally and absolutely entitled to review anyone within the executive branch of government, the law is very clear. and for 591 days you and secretary mnuchin have broken the law to keep that hidden. i don't know what we're hiding. but we have not known -- we have not found out yet. it is our responsibility to restore the public's trust in our tax system. the president's business and personal returns must be audited impartially and without political interference. yet, every time we ask a question, we're reminded, it's still being audited since 2016. before 2016. so we have some questions. the american people have a right to know whether that's what's going on. time is of the essence. just last month, the "new york times" reported that self-proclaimed billionaire mr. trump paid only $750 in taxes in 2017 and 2018. $750. in 10 of the last 15 years, he reportedly paid no taxes. when you listen to the explanation on why that happened, having nothing to do with you, but when you listen t

not only is this committee the general oversight committee of congress, we have specific legislative jurisdiction on federal records. so that really began my work in this community's work for the last six years investigating some of this corruption in the obama administration. i think it's important to note that this represents, from my standpoint, the unequal application of justice, hillary clinton was exonerated. this -- the email scandal, the examination investigation morphed into the crossfire hurricane scandal. i just want to talk about one of the texts that peter strzok texted lisa page after hillary clinton was exonerated he said, and damn this feels momentous, talking about crossfire hurricane. because this matters. the other one did too, the meteor exam. but that was just to ensure we didn't "f" something up. this matters because it matters. so super glad to be on this voyage with you and yet we had the inspector general, when he reviewed the abuse in his report claimed there was no proof that political bias affected any actions. i would challenge that statement. the final o

the dget committee is nothe spending committee. that's the appropriations committee. the budget committee does a road map that' supposed to prode some discipline for the people doing the spending. that's where we need to do a lot more work. but i want to start off by telling you a little budget story. my youngest dauter and her family are strict budgeters. they followed dave ramsey's family participates in monthly allocation of their resources. and it's made a huge difference in their abity to pay o things and to enjoy life. but a year ago my older daughter picked up the, my granddaughter's from their after-school activity and said how would you like to go to and of course they were thrilled. and my dauter said maybe we ought to call your parents and see if they'd like it to, at which point the older daughter, who i think was 11 at the time, said who's paying? amy said, well, i am. and she said, oh, okay, because we've already used up our eating out budget. th's family participation in budgeting. as a result, i also had the youngest granddaughter who sav up for an app

i'm chair of the committee with me on the video conference are rules' committee vice-chair supervisor catherine stefani and rules committee member supervisor mar. our clerk today is victor young and i'd like to thank sfgov for staffing this committee. >> due to covid-19 health emergency and protect members members to the employees and the public the legislative chamber room are closed however members will be participating in the meeting remotely and they will participate if they were present. public comment will be available on each item on this agenda both channel 26 and sfgovtv are teaminstreaming the numbers acre screen. call (415)655-0001. and again that's (415)655-0001. the meeting i.d. 146 961 6060 and press pound and pound again. the item of center comes up, it will be added to the speaker line and best practices to call from a private location and speak slowly and turn down your television or radio. you may submit public comments via e-mail to myself, the rules committee clerk at victor.young@sf.org. it will be forwarded and included in the file. that completes my public comme

that in 200019 when the committee gave the peace prize. to barack obama when he had been left than two weeks in office. when he was nominated and that he was announced the winner he had been approximately eight months in office. i thought i was quite curious. i wasn't the only one because the nut media picks it up and they start writing about it. barack obama himself was surprised. when the committee announced barack obama some of the journalist they were pressing for answers on what exactly barack obama had done to deserve the peace prize. and then along back and forth. and then the committee chairman said we want to send a signal. that is when my quest began because i wanted to know. and that i was curious when alford met my bell had. and that's when my digging into the path and into the history as the man that he was. that's when that really began. i did other things and i wrote the other book in the meanwhile. but i always had at their this curiosity and finally it became a book. it was really out of curiosity a critical view on what i

roll tape. >> the intel committee is different than any other committee. this is where america's secrets are kept this is where the individuals are able to know things that other members are not. the one answer that i got out of that briefing was, there is no way eric swalwell should continue to serve on the intel committee. i'm going to request that every single member on the house intelligence committee gets the exact same briefing from the fbi that i did, because if this individual is sitting on this committee, eric swalwell, they have got to know the background of what has gone on. david: are there others? that is a question i will bring up with hudson institute director of chinese strategy, author of the 100 year marathon, he has written a whole book about chinese, how chinese influence american politics. it is called "the hundred year marathon." michael pillsbury, a pleasure to see you again. knowing how the chinese agents and how they are masters in beijing operate, do you think that swalwell is irredeemably compromised? >> well, i agree with kevin

and you asked for advice from the committee. is that part of the eua vote or is that a second issue? >> that is not a question for vote. it is just an item for discussion. we'd like to hear the committee's thoughts on the plan that is being proposed by pfizer which you will hear about in greater detail later today. >> dr. mcginnis. >> i have a question that's sort of a follow up from what mike carella originally started. given this is an investigational product, i'm assuming that any manufacturer cannot actually market such an investigational vaccine. is that correct? >> emergency use authorization which does not allow for commercial distribution of the vaccine via the usual marketing that would be available to a licensed vaccine. so i hope that clarifies things. if anyone else from fda wants to chime in, i'd welcome the additional remarks. >> so doran, thank you, i'm happy to get the comments. i'm just trying to understand. it's not marketed traditionally but compensation for an investigational vaccine is possible under an eua,

that committee was very, very -- that committee hearing today was very, very different than it would have otherwise been because you were there not just because you brought in chris krebs as your guest but because of the way you drew the line with senator johnson there and i think it made a really big -- committee hearings are committee hearings but i think it made a really big difference you were there fighting every step of the way. thanks for helping us understand tonight. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. stay with us. but, when used at the first sign, abreva can get you back to being you in just 2 and a half days. be kinder to yourself and tougher on your cold sores. with sweet potato fries. eating a falafel wrap (doorbell rings) thanks! splitsies? ♪ oooh...you meant the food, didn't you? ♪ experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list sales event. sign and drive off in a new lincoln with zero down, zero due at signing, and a complimentary first month's payment. with zero down, zero due at signing, unlike ordinary memory want supplements-ter? neuriva has cli

think of committees as subject to all the committee rules. so i don't know if there's another word or what would be the right word, but i would lean against using the word that refers to the group that would usually be subject to the brown act. >> okay. got it. >> okay. we'll go to commissioner d'antonio. >> i just had a question about the special meeting. does that have to be mentioned specifically in our bylaws? >> mr. givner: your bylaws do not have mention special meetings, but it's probably a good idea, now that we're including -- we can add it to the section about regular meetings. actually, i think we may have done that already, but i'll make sure that that's in. sorry. just getting back to committee member andrews' question, if we're looking for another word for point person, another term we can use is liaison or community liaison or something like that. >> great. member nagendra or member -- is your hand raised? okay. the lower hand function. okay. so if we could bring up the chart that member leadbetter sent? >> i'm sorry [inaudible

committee with eric swalwell. thank you for being here. >> good to be with you, martha. >> martha: do you believe he should be removed from the committee? that is what representative mccarthy, leader mccarthy says. >> 100% he should be removed from the committee, stepped down from the house committee on intelligence. not only is it disturbing for any member of congress to be compromised by the chinese communist party, but particularly if you are a member of congress who sits on the select committee and has oversight over our intelligence agencies, that gets highly classified briefings, especially when it comes to adversaries like china, like russia, eric swalwell is compromised and he needs to step down. speaker pelosi has tried to brush this under the rug. this issue is not going away. there are more questions that need to be answered. not only should he step down, he needs to be appear before the ethics committee. >> martha: do you believe nancy pelosi should have briefed the gang of eight and made sure leadersh

we like to say that the foreign affairs committee is the most bipartisan committee in congress. i think we have proven that the people who are elected from different parties can and should work together. we are all americans. we love this country. butay have different ideas we should always remember that other people from other parties are not the enemies. there are plenty of enemies of the united states and around the world but it doesn't exist in this room or in the capital or anywhere else where we conduct our business. i think it is important to remember that. i have been is, and here a while now, you don't get to know people unless they are on your committee or from your home state. you just don't have much opportunity to get to know all. sometimes, you take a trip with them and you know them because of those trips. around the world. sometimes, you see them in the gym but by and large, if this person is not from your home state and not on your committees, there is not much interaction. when there is not much interaction, people don't know the other people and some people de

advisory committee. i have spent a total of 34 years on those committees. gov. inslee: could you briefly describe what the committee did, when it started its work before you reached this conclusion echo -- conclusion? >> we began 10 days ago. out whatately worked our processes would be. group with member diverse expertise. nine or 10 members have all past experience on these advisory committees, although they are independent admissions. we had access to the data, the manufacturer -- the data the manufacturer submitted, and we then, many of us observed virtually the meeting, the fda , then our committee met after each of those meetings and reviewed the data and discussed each point. so it was an exhaustive process. gov. inslee: i appreciate your work. you're not getting rich doing this, this is a volunteer group, is that right? >> totally. gov. inslee: thank you. you will get your reward for doing this great work. i want to thank you because i think folks know that we stood up in these states come out ind

meade will testify to the committee several times. the testimony of the joint committee on the conduct of the war for gettysburg is spearheaded by some of the most danroversial general army, sickles and dan butterfield. they already testified on the conduct of the war. meade is in washington, d.c., in early 1864, to discuss the reorganization of the army. this is march of 1864, right, because the army is going to be reorganized, grant is coming east meade is in washington. , on the streets, he hears people talking about the investigation going on about his leadership. he did not even know about it. he writes this letter back to his wife, and he says all the courtrooms, all the barrooms, all the conversations on the streets of washington are about my leadership in the gettysburg campaign. so he will end up testifying before the joint committee on the conduct of the war. the book you have has a lot of excerpts, a great book. about 15 generals that testify on the whole, and in the end, they are looking to see why gettysburg was not more

i've spoke within the chairman of the committee in the senate, senator shelby. i think he's committed to keeping government open and having a bipartisan bill. nita lowey on our side. those are the two main negotiators in all of this. also again they want to find common ground and i think they're close to that. and then when the committees cannot find their common ground, what is left is what is kicked p to the principal -terms of leadership. we don't negotiate the bill all along. so when that comes, if they have not resolved, which i hope they will and they can, then that's when we would as normal, regular order would be. reporter: this week, congresswoman delauro held a hearing on repealing the hyde amendment. will a bill repealing the hyde amendment be in the house? ms. pelosi: i don't know if there'll be a bill to do that but it will be part of legislation. i have been an opponent of the hyde amendment long before i came to congress. i would be receptive to that happening. reporter: does it depends on the outcome of the of the senate what the house does? ms.

committee. of all the great work that you -- >> it is what you have done to this committee. falsely using the chairman as spreading disinformation. nothing could have been further from the truth, and you're spouting it again, which is why -- >> oh, come on. >> senator paul. >> judge starr, judge starr? lou: and there there you have just a few moments of what happened in that committee hearing. and russia disinformation, as senator johnson was suggesting, has become a tiresome democrat ruse and refuge for ignorance. you may recall 50 intelligence community members recently used it to dismiss "the new york post"'s bombshell reports on hunter biden's corrupt business deals. the ignorance of the left and, and their total lack offing integrity on further -- of integrity on further displayed today. senator tom carper joining senator peters saying it's time to turn the page on the election, put all of the corruption behind us, the lies. and the left today demonstrating they have no interest whatsoever

this congressman now gets on the intel committee. they are only selected for the intel committee by the leaders of their party, meaning nancy pelosi. nancy pelosinc is one of the gag of eight along with myself. did nancy pelosi know this had transpired when she put him on thee committee? we have our senator dianne feinsteinn for two decades, the personal assistance hearing all the private phone calls in the phone and others a chinese spy. why did the democrats pull out of the bipartisan china task course i had set up? why did speaker pelosi pull out of that? why have they denied certain bills that would hold china accountable that would pass the senate not come to the floor? why did they focus on silicon valley members of congress? why is he still on the intel committee, let known why is he still a member of congress? did adam schiff know as chairman of that committee that he had this problem? remember what the intel committee gets. information that no other members are able to see. remember what this member did pure he was so preocc

the foreign affairs committee is probably the most bipartisan committee in congress. we have our say, and we have effectuated change, but done it in a way to bring everybody with us, rather than having factions fighting. it is important to stick to your principles, but it is not important to fight when you do not have to fight. the old adage, you can get more flies with honey -- i forget how it goes, but you know what i mean. greta: chairman engel, thank you. rep. engel: thank you, it is great for me to think about these questions you have asked, and it makes me proud to be an american, and proud to have served with my colleagues. i am not retiring, i am changing jobs. it is great, i think it is great. the more you deal with your life, the better it is. i have been fortunate to help people and be successful doing it. it is the greatest thing. thank you for the interview. i will go back home tonight and think, i should have said this and that. i feel great. again, we are a great people and we have a lot to share with the world. that is why i want us to get involved wit

requested over and over with our committee. we had to learn about major problems not from the census bureau, but from the press. and then finally, we got more information from alternative sources that brought the information to us and felt that we should have it. have -- wethat we ask for information from secretary ross and from director billingham, and they refused to give us the information. that's why we are now discussing we havermation that gotten from an alternative source. we can certainly have director billingham and mr. ross back to another hearing next week if you would like to request it. we would certain the grant that to you. exceeds me. this -- excuse me. the current status is we wrote to secretary ross yesterday and we gave him one week to complete a complete amount of documents that are unredacted, a set of documents we requested last month. and if he does not, he could very well face a subpoena. and i will also consider whether we need to hold another hearing to hear directly from him and secretary ross. and if

in addition to her own committees hearing the senate judiciary committee which has jurisdiction overr the fbi and the department of justice is undertaken his own investigation, john durham is also continuing his own investigation at the department ofof justice, the senate intelligence committee has also investigated and its bipartisan report included the trump campaign manager paul manafort's willingness to share information with the russian intelligence services was a grave counterintelligence threat. i asked of the findings of the grsenate intelligence committeee entered into the record without objection. >> without objection. >> in addition to her own today's hearing seeks to rehash the same matter in more partisan way, to reach conclusions determines has announcedt publicly. the panelists are not witnesses to then a underlying events, thy are public commentary has been extremely partisan and in some cases just as disputing the result of the most recent election entirely divorced from reality. the strength of american democracy and a peaceful transition of power depends largely on

and i was proud to serve with senator udall in the rules committee. we worked on native american votings rights together. he was the lead on so many bills that would make our democracy better. and i hope that one of his legacies is when he's gone, we will be able to finally put these laws into operation and get them done. one of his great pieces of legislation was a constitutional amendment to overturn citizen's united and one day, we will get this done. so many people are tired of the money streaming into our politics, the facts that you have hidden money streaming into our politics and his amendment, i would fix so much of this. he was also co-founder of the congressional international caucus where he left his mark on the country to protect public lands and national parks and promoting leadership in conservation. from his years as new mexico's attorney general to his tenure in the house of representatives and 12 years as a u.s. senator. tom udall has literally been a giant in public service, no one should surprised. he summed up with what drove him

the committee on the conduct of war, when they investigate gettysburg campaign, the committee doesn't do anything in the end. in the end, this is political grand standing. they don't really -- he says in command of the army of the potomac. but mead is up in washington, d.c., with this political hull holabaloo. and he's deeply involved in this political quagmire. we can't overstate that because the civil war, in its very essence, is a democratic nation at war. it's a democratic nation at war. lincoln and the northern people have to navigate that. and the two-party system might bring more valolatility than a one-party system. he looks at political generals and how they're appointed. he looks at the treatment of mcclellan and thinks he's been railroaded. the radical republicans, he calls them ultras and he thinks they're meddling too much into the nature of the war. >> do you think they did? is he right? >> i think that mead's sentiment is characteristic of professional soldiers who are adverse to political meddling. >> but i'm asking you. do you think mead was right? >> i think that mcc
