(Washington, DC) — U.S. Representative Ed Case (Hawai‘i-First District) this morning appeared on C-SPAN’s nationally-televised program, Washington Journal.
The live half-hour show features a single member of Congress addressing questions from the host, followed by direct questions from the viewing audience across the country alternating among Republicans, Democrats and independents.
Case covered a range of topics, including:
· “Clearly classified information” that should not have been disclosed in a group chat among the highest-ranking administration officials leading up to, during and after the recent bombing mission in Yemen;
· The budget and tax measure under consideration in Congress as “not reflecting the values” of most Americans; and,
· “The biggest missing piece” in government today, being a Congress that is not providing effective oversight and a check and balance on Presidential actions.
Case also addressed viewer questions including:
· Protecting Medicare and Social Security;
· Widespread public disapproval of Congress and both political parties;
· His bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus’ focus on finding solutions to everyday American concerns;
· The urgent need to address our federal deficit and debt crisis;
· The “Department of Government Efficiency’s” efforts to destroy rather than improve large and critical parts of the federal government; and,
· His continuing efforts to protect our oceans including our coral reefs.
