i am pleased to report that we are very, very close to ending this healthcare nightmare. we are so close. the legislation working its way through congress provides the choice and control people want, the affordability they need, and the quality they deserve in healthcare. it's a common-sense approach that restores the sacred doctor-patient relationship. and you are going to finally have great healthcare at a lower price. thank you, god bless you, and god bless the united states of america. rep. thompson: hello, i'm congressman bennie thompson. i represent mississippi's 2nd congressional district, and i am the top democrat on the committee on homeland security. nearly everyone outside the white house accepts the intelligence community's conclusion that russia carried out the hacking campaign in an

attempt to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. and this week, in donald trump, jr.'s emails, we saw the first public evidence that the trump campaign eagerly intended to collude with russia. this shocking new evidence raises even graver questions about russia's success infiltrating the election systems in 21 states and stealing voting records containing personal information. all of this has damaged america's faith in our democracy and confidence in the security of our voting systems. in fact, just this week, one poll found one in four respondents reported that they may not vote in the next election because of cyber-security concerns. this is not acceptable. congress must act and act immediately. we must get the truth about russia's meddling and the full

extent of the trump campaign complicity. but we must also take action to protect our elections and our election infrastructure next time. this is why house democrats launched the congressional task force on election security, which i am proud to co-chair with congressman brady from pennsylvania. this task force's central mission is to focus on how to bolster the cyber and physical security of our election system ahead of the 2018 election.

elections like reality tv shows, we already had a landscape that was much more interested in interpersonal dramas between candidates than in-depth coverage of the issues. we already have a democrat using the tools of corporate ranting themselves, president obama was a fantastic brand. he used cutting-edge marketing techniques. a lot of us felt that behind the claims that he was leading this deep change and transformation, that there was not enough change, and that also helped set the table or trump. announcer: watch at 9:00 p.m. eastern on c-span twos "to be." -- on c-span twos book tv.
