i think there is a federal rule. i would like to see a limited federal oversight rule, actually. you have seen states increase their own gas taxes. the big issue is going to be, and this is something i just don't think house leadership and even the hill leadership is really going to want to get into this cycle is the highway trust fund is not sustainable. right now we've talked about the guy that orders the last -- the last panel talked about the guy that orders the big steak. the hybrids and electric cars are free ride to go some extent -- >> they are not buying gasoline, so they are not paying the gas tax. >> they are not paying. and now we've gone from a user fee to just throwing general fund money at the issue. and that is not, again, a long-term sustainable. we have the diversions, almost 20% out of the highway trust fund for transit and other issues. these are the big topics that we really need to be getting in. i frankly don't see the political will this time around to do it. but that disruption is coming. more and more as cars become more efficient, you know, at sop point

roger federer is waiting in the last fourfor roger federer is waiting in the last four for rafa roger federer is waiting in the last fourfor rafa nadal, if he roger federer is waiting in the last four for rafa nadal, if he can roger federer is waiting in the last fourfor rafa nadal, if he can come past sam querrey. let's start with novak djokovic. that drawer has really opened up for him. and it's fairto really opened up for him. and it's fair to say he perhaps hasn't really been challenged yet, straight sets win for been challenged yet, straight sets winfor him. been challenged yet, straight sets win for him. i think he's still playing at an exceptionally high level. he was in the right half of the draw, no doubt about it, when roger federer and rafa nadal were paved together in the other half djokovic knew he would be a strong favourite to come through the half of the draw he was in, really, very few alarms. he was in, really, very few alarms. he was in, really, very few alarms. he was in, really, very few alarms. he's dropped one set in the first week but today, after the devastati

started under the auspices of the federal writers project. at the time it was created, it was consider the ugly duckling of the federal arts project. that's because the public regarded with a great deal of skepticism and suspicion this idea, this ill-defined category of unemployed writers getting put on the relief roles to do who knows what. they were called boondoggle or's and slackers and not seen as pulling their weight during the great depression. it started off as a project that was not well received by the american public, but because of its legacy, the ex-slave narrative, it has become the most important of the federal arts projects of the time. in terms of how did it develop, some federal directors received some ex-slave narratives from states that had undertaken it early, and that was the state of florida. it was under the direction of a southern white woman who is very interested in african-american culture. she was a fan of zora neal hurston, as i think many of us are today. she was professionally trained as a stenographer and this

used two federal used two federal terms, she is in the eeo system and going against sec. guest: essie -- ses. eeo is oneses and pathway to get your case resolved. you are a woman or minority and are a whistleblower. you can generally use the eeo process. either way, the system for federal employee's is broken. host: two niagara falls, new york, richard, republican. caller: good morning. thank you for c-span. , remember watching on netflix a program under dirty money, and it was during the obama era and how drug cartels were laundering money in the bank of america. i was wondering, whatever happened to that situation? whatever happened to that situation? guest: it only gets worse. i have a case right now, $240 billion money laundering, bank of america, deutsche bank, citibank, jp morgan, dansk a bank, allnska administration. it doesn't matter. money laundering is a gigantic problem, a gigantic problem. that is where people hide who owns the money in the flesh it out read money laundering remains one of the top issues. we are working with whistleblowers on it. in 2018, cong

federal reserve. it was in place long before i came to congress and i have been a proponent of altering the federal reserve to find out actually what they are up to. because i think that there are questions about how we manage our finances in america, and i think that we must address those. that being said, i am never going to apologize for allowing the american people to keep more of what they earn. to make at federal government effective, efficient, transparent and accountable to the american people. to me, that means that we take less from the american people, because it is the private sector economy that our country has the since our founding in 1700s, that has built the greatest economy and most prosperous standard of living on the planet. ,ur families have opportunities because of our market-driven private sector economy, where businesses flourish. and americans can innovate and compete with one another. aost: from baltimore, wha lter. caller: i totally disagree. mr. johnson, it is the democrati

ae federal government in 230 some year history has never defaulted. i don't think this president wants to be on watch that says the federal government went into bankruptcy. that is what a default means. it has never happened, but to deal with this conger -- this, congress has to raise its authority to borrow or suspend it so they can pay its bills. host: which adds to political discussions we have seen over past congresses. guest: this is a confluence of two events. we have a fiscal year that begins on october the first, where we have to find government. -- fund government. we have to have the money to fund government. makeifference i want to is that a default is something that has never happened. that is the federal government in bank or to up -- being bankrupt and cannot pay. good morning. my question is, instead of spending so much money on defense, it isn't the united states using the federal budget to fund foreign aid, specifically to prevent global conflicts through peace building? there's a bill in the senate, the global fragility at, that woul

the law ensures that the federal government is administered in a nonpartisan manner and that federal employees are protected from political coercion in the workplace. mr. kerner testified for more than three hours about ms. conway's violations of federal law. he called them, quote, clear, repeated, annoying violations of the hatch act. end of quote. he also warned that since president trump is not taking any disciplinary action against ms. conway he is a, quote -- he sends a, quote, false message to other federal employees that they need to the abide by the hatch act or the senior officials are above the law. now today ms. conway is violating a dually authorized subpoena issued by this committee. ms. conway is required to be here today to address her multiple violations of federal law, many of which occurred on national tv. why is she not here? just 25 minutes ago the white house sent a letter to the committee claiming that ms. conway is, quote, absolutely immune, end of quote, from having to testify before congress simply because she works in the white house. that is a completely ba

it is another misconception about the federal death penalty that it is somehow these unique federal interesest where people are there for treason and spying and ththe like when it is nonot true. very often the connection between a federal interest is extremely attenuated nothing people are very y surprised to learn about ththe. amy: the peoe is that they will execute, they'll execute more people, they will try to, five prisoners, then have been executed on federal debt through in over 50 years. >> you have to wonder, as i said, why did they choose five people who did not have stays of execution, who were not in position to be part of a challengnge to the method d of exececution to how the federal government was planning to use its awesome power? i think that was a cynical and run decision -- and run decision, keeping it out of the due process, keeping it out of the court scrutiny. i think that is why those people were chosen, which again, that is n not good governrnment. ththat is not transparency. that is not a willingness to say this is how we do things, this is how we make decisions. it is

federal grants saved money. congress should insure federal infrastructure investments. recipients of federal flooding will consider how climate changes. highlight state and local efforts including new york risk and resiliency act. in summary, states and communities need tools and technical assistance ahead of disasters to facilitate resilient rebuilding when funds are available. beyond infrastructure it should also support operational development including helping people evacuate safely. >> we'll start with rounds of questions. i would like to ask our representatives from wyoming, utah and delaware. if congress passes a series of these short terms extension, what the impact is going to be on states like wyoming and utah and delaware in terms of planning, in terms of highway construction, in terms of road and bridge maintenance. if you would like to start? >> thank you, mr. chairman. yes, it's extremely disruptive to programs because engineering projects take time whether you're planning or designing and all of that becomes very unpredictable if you can't know for sure h

roger federer lost this match you know and we've had these conversations many times about roger federer whenever he loses a final you know it has to do with his age and between let me remind also review is that between 20122017 roger federer did a dry spell where he didn't 5 years where he didn't win any grandstand trophies but what did he do at the end of that he surprised all of us he came back he won in 2017 what is it back to back australian opens as well as wimbledon so obviously this is a missed opportunity but the tank is still full when it comes to roger federer and age has not slowed him down ok so we might see him back again you never know what and also the performance against the dollar that and yesterday is a testament to just how good he is you know joke about you know talk about his 16 grand slam title so federer has a record 20. conjunctive it suppress that hard look and the tennis world will agree on this if there's one man that can surpass roger federer as record it is djokovic i mean he is not just incredibly talented but he also has time on his side he is 32 years you

to the federal government. $400 billion a year in federal taxes. california and new york. do you know how much nebraska pays? about 7 billion or $8 billion. 400 billion from new york and california. that's fair and we're in on that because we're all in this together. that's what the united states of america is. >> would the gentleman yield? >> yes, i will. >> would it be more fair if nebraska fell under a different federal minimum wage than other states and regions of the country? >> i'll not go off topic on that but i'll be happy to discuss that at a future time. >> mayor tarter, do you think it's fair that people would be taxed on the taxes they already paid? >> no. and it hasn't been part of our tax code since 1862 depending on when you consider the first tax code. >> do you think it's fair that by republican colleagues thinks we should take the long arm of the federal government to reach in to state and local governments and say listen, you got to change your taxing policies because we don't like it in the federal government. you got to change

so i would encourage that whether it's nist on behalf of the federal government or federal government and eco system partners, you know, my own company included. i think we could be more assertive on both the international and national stages as it relates to standards work. >> i also concur that we're at the front end of a lot of work. but i'll also take a moment and look back and say as we talk about something critical like the sharing of data sets and the ideas around open data sets and all those discussions, there are dozens of critical existing standards around data, data formats, interchanges that are all going to be critical to the work of ai. there are standards around cloud computing that are going to be critical to ai. we need to recognize that as you inventory what is important for ai, don't just throw out the baby with the bath water. you have a number of things that exist today that are essential to that next step around ai that we'll talk about grabbing hold of large data sets and understanding them. you then have newark. and absolutely we're at the front end of that. i

they are a month 61 federal inmates on death row. lori lytle, a professor at hastings college of the law worked on capital punishment cases. >> there aren't that many federal death penalty cases. most are on the stateside. 29 states have the death penalty and 21 don't. it is about the same as the american public. >> reporter: federal death penalty convictions apply nationwide with hi

at the 55% federal we would require 87.2, is that correct? and at the 83%, 52.6. >> okay. thank you very much. and i yield back the balance of my time. >> thank you. and i now recognize the gentleman from nevada, mr. horsford, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman, for organizing today's hearing on the funding of medicaid in the u.s. territories. i appreciate the opportunity to discuss the shortfalls of medicaid funding in our territories and shed light on this very important issue. to start i want to make it clear that it is my priority as a member of this committee as well as the ways and means committee to ensure all americans including those living in u.s. territories have access to affordable and quality healthcare. sadly, as is often the case with the federal government's treatment of american samoa, the northern mariana islands, guam, puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands, u.s. citizens and nationals living in ans lar areas do not receive the same services and benefits afforded to the rest of american people. that's a very sad fact that we need to address.

federal government personnel. they're reports based on things described by kids, kids who were all held by border patrol at the yuma border station. these are kids who are not supposed to be held by border patrol for more than 72 hours. in all of these significant incident reports, all of these kids nevertheless were held longer than 72 hours. when they were moved out of the border patrol facility they were put in custody of a different federal agency that is supposed to take in kids. they were moved to the custody of the department of health and human services and its case managers from health and human services who wrote these reports. they wrote down these significant incident reports based on what these kids said happened to them while they were in border patrol custody. and picture these incident reports tell at one level is that the same things the inspector general found in el paso and in clint and in mcallen and in brownsville and all of those facilities in between, those descriptions of very bad condition

federally. the same goes for many universities conducting research, they are unable to for fear of funding being removed. it puts research in jeopardy. >> can i add something to that? if the marijuana industry was concerned about research, then i don't think that they would be selling some of these extremely high -- >> hang on, i'm concerned about research. i'm going to allow you to answer the question but i'm not going to allow you to take a hotshot -- pot shot at the people you are testifying with. if you want to answer the question to the extent that the lack of clarity in federal law, i will allow it. that is a fair point, that there are barriers to research and as you mentioned, supports reducing those barriers to that extent. >> i was just made aware friday of that issue where we do have a colorado university who would really benefit from researching this industry and the effects of it. because, they are taking federal grants and federal subsidies. they are unable to go forward. >> thank y

they are a month 61 federal inmates on death row. lori lytle, a professor at hastings college of the law worked on capital punishment cases. >> there aren't that many federal death penalty cases. most are on the stateside. 29 states have the death penalty and 21 don't. it is about the same as the american public. >> reporter: federal death penalty convictions apply nationwide with high profile convictions including the south carolina church bomber in the boston marathon bomber. >> in the boston marathon case, massachusetts does not have a death penalty as a state. when the case was prosecuted federally in massachusetts the jury imposed the death penalty. >> reporter: death penalty sentences should be carried out said a crime victim advocate. >> victims have to endure the loss of a loved one but then the entire criminal justice process. >> reporter: mina is president of the advocacy group crime victims united in auburn. she said she applauds the federal decision. >> to deny victims is completely horrendous. it takes away their voice

and you can't beat the federal government, especially when paid for by federal tax dollars. so what that means again is a march toward elimination of private health insurance, including that provided through your employer, which now benefits about 180 million americans. last knight we saw these candidates defend these radical policies during the democratic debate. two of our senate colleagues who are running for president sparred over what another candidate called fairy tail promises. they fought to defend their plan to remove all choice from america's health care. they tried to convince their fellow democrats and the american people that they are writing a check that if elected, that they can cash. we know that's not true. the american people are not going to be fooled. they don't want socialized medicine. they don't want to run up government spending and certainly don't want to have to pay $32 trillion in additional taxes to pay for it. and they certainly don't want washington bureaucrats dictating their families' health care choices. in a speech last week, the administrat

at the end of the day it is federal tax dollars on the line. as the chair of our oversight management and accountability subcommittee i am also concerned about fema's ability to recruit and retain qualified contracting officers. i understand as of january more than one third of positions within fema's office were vacant and the agency has lost contracting staff since 2017. this is not the direction we need to be headed. if anything fema needs more contracting officers not less. these should be permanent positions not the short term hires they are using as a stopgap. i look forward to learning about the steps you have taken over the past two years to assess fema's workforce needs and hire more contracting staff. the procurement office needs to be full strength as we head to the 2019 season. thank you again, mr. chairman, for holding this hearing. i look forward to a fruitful discussion with all three of our witnesses here today. >> thank you, chairwoman. i now recognize the ranking member of the oversight and management accountability subcommitt

if you look at the role of the federal courts, the framers created a federal judicial system to serve as a check on illegal action. that is important to understand the gerrymandering case and why the chief justice and the courts majority got it wrong. tois the role of the courts step in and address unconstitutional actions and extreme partisan gerrymandering, like the one in this case, is an example of that. host: the chief justice and direction of the court, this is among the wrapup pieces, the wall street journal said he moves to the right, and they write even a chief justice who holds the court's ideological center and his formal leadership cannot always retain the reins. in dissent inlf 10 cases which upheld -- including one that upheld a ban in uranium mining. also, a lower court's ruling in racial gerrymandering. there were various judges joining judge ruth bader ginsburg. the role of the chief justice in this, is past term. guest: for years we talk about court referring to tony kennedy. i think it is fair to say it is now chief justice robert's court. it's worth remembering he

the other issue is the federal work force that fema's had. long standing challenges we've been pointing out for years on the inability to fully train the work force and retain the number of people we need to handle a situation. in 2017 really exposed some of those gaps. a number of our recommendations in that area continue to be open and are just as valid today as when we made them over 5 years ago. i'd also like to talk about recovery, which is where we are right now with the 2017 disasters. anybody on this committee that has had a disaster in their jurisdiction understands how they can be time consuming and frustrating. we hear it all the time. just two weeks ago, we found in a report that fema could do a better job of helping elderly individuals and those with disabilities to more easily enroll in their programs. and we continue to see problems and challenges with the fema's public assistance grants. this is the largest pot of money that goes to rebuilding. it's one of the most complicated grant programs in government. it takes a long time

when i talk about public pensions, i am referring to the federal budget. yes, civil service and military retirement. but i think the type of pensions you are talking about are at the state and local level specifically. i'm not going to get into the weeds too far. but in terms of $800 billion in spending for well welfare programs, i think that is an overstatement unless we are adding in what is at the state and local level. much less of that is been here at the federal level for welfare programs. i think the federal food stamp program as an example is probably less than $80 billion annually.'s make of you on twitter says can you name me any insurance policy that hasn't raised its premium in 30 years? social security has never caused >> i can't identify any insurance premium that has not raise premiums. this is always very dicey. i understand the sensitivities. the social security trust fund is a trust fund where we are paying in, and those who are working are paying in in payroll taxes, and there are benefits going on. as of today, that balance between what

a federal judiciary is the envy of the world. congress has an interest in ensuring that this hard earned reputation is maintained. today's hearing is part of that process. as the hearing title suggests we're considering what is appropriate for a judiciary in the 21st century. now that we have squarely situated in the information age, in which we are accustomed to accessing practically any information with the click of a button we should ask whether there needs greater trips with respect to information regarding the federal judiciary. for example should we require the judges financial disclosure forms which could indicate potential conflict of interest be more easily accessible. what sort of public disclosure should be made when a judge chooses not to recuse himself from case. these questions go the heart of ensuring the public's trust in the judiciary remains strong. similarly a key question for today's hearing is what if anything can the congress and courts do to enfor forforce eth conduct. what can we do every decision is trans

special coverage of the federal reserve. we'll all be there, including neil, who is about, neil, maria, me, lou. now, neil, it is yours. neil: there's a party. thank you, my friend. we have a lot coming up including the first round of rate cuts we could see in better part of a decade. that might just make the presidents' day we'll explain. there is an interesting correlation between rate cuts and how the next election goes. the next round of china trade talks are set. even though they're scheduled for september in the usa, there is little sign of progress on either side of the globe. a second round of debates set with joe biden promising to take the gloves off. he will be a target for other players there as well. meantime, let's take a good look where we stand. this is more than normal right now, given the approaching fed announcements, still a couple hours away. edward lawrence where things stand. reporter: the federal reserve has not cut-rate since december of 2018. nowed administration would like to see -- 2008. the marke

number one and despite roger federer with the better numbers he had a better sphere of percentage he did not drop a serve in the 1st 4 sets he had a better return game he won more breakpoints is joke of it with with his incredible defensive game his self belief that stole the show and we ended up with a game for the ages ok would have been of us it would have been his 9th right. given that federer is almost 38 years old which is old for tennis isn't it what is this was this is lost when will to hear this a thing federer is like he's setting new standards and that's what makes him so incredible and look he may be old a but if judging on that match yesterday he did not look any more tired than joke of it and again this was an extremely competitive and extremely close match it could have gone either way 0 age was definitely not the reason that roger federer lost this match you know and we've had these conversations many times about roger federer when ever he loses a final you know it has to do with his age and between let me remind also review is that between 20122017 roger federer did

have gone either way 0 age was definitely not the reason that roger federer lost this match you know and we've had these conversations many times about roger federer whenever he loses a final you know it has to do with his age and between let me remind also review is that between 2 and we've had these conversations many times about roger federer whenever he loses a final you know it has to do with his age and between let me remind also review is that between 20122017 roger federer did a new goal a dry spell where he didn't 5 years where he didn't win any grants and trophies but what did he do at the end of that he surprised all of us he came back he won 2017 what is it back to back to australia opens as well as wimbledon so obviously this is a missed opportunity but the tank is still full when it comes to roger federer and age has not slowed him down ok so we might see him back again never know what and also the performance against the dollar that and yesterday is a testament to just how good he is to the joke about you know talk about who has 16 grandson part and so federer has a re

south will be hit hard by federal been wage. host: we have not seen a minimum-wage federal increase in more than 10 years. guest 2: i don't think a federal minimum wage is the right policy to pursue. the minimum wage is like fishing with dynamite. it is flashy and effective but it can cause collateral damage. we want to avoid the collateral damage while at the same time implementing a policy that rages -- raises wages. somee subsidy would have of the benefits of raising wages rather than the minimum wage, which reduces the incentive of the employer. taking a look at the minimum-wage snapshot. benefits of increasing minimum wage to $15 and what they found was the benefits to low-wage workers of increasing the memo wage vastly outweigh the cost. i will disagree with michael. i think the research is clear that you raise the normal wage and getting money in the pockets of low-wage workers reduces inequality and poverty without the negative impact many people have historically thought they were there. they don't show up in the data w

federal funds to the region. we are proposing an exchange of 3.366 million in funds from the project with an equivalent amount of prop k. funds from the better market street project, which i will describe in the next few slides. the project is at 95% design and public works will be ready to advertise the construction project in september. the project has seen a 12 month delay due to a prolonged process in obtaining the right-of-way certification from caltrain which is a requirement for federal highways. public works missed the obligation deadline for the funds, which put the funds at risk of being lost to the project. the benefits of the fund exchange would be that it would federalize the project, avoiding federal -- further delays, and would enable the project to complete design and meet the construction schedules. as you will hear in the next presentation, the better market street project is in the environmental phase with his final certification anticipated in december. the federal build grant triggered this f

a federal tax credit. an annual fund that would be opted into by states. not have been, not a mandate. it does not create a new federal department or program or new bureaucracy to administer, it simply is a vehicle or a mechanism for individuals to redirect a portion of their federal tax bill annually to a scholarship granting organization which would then scholarship out to students to make choices in their home state for an education environment that is going to suit their needs and fit their purposes. it is a simple concept, but it does face a lot of opposition because the status quo wants to protect what is at the expense of what could be. >> why do you think reform has met such opposition that there is such a strong special interest supporting the status quo and are resisting reforms like this which would improve education? >> we have strong teachers unions that are very interested in their membership, rightfully so. they are doing a great job at protecting their membership, but it is about adult issu
