tenney: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in support of my amendment to h.r. 1259 which would require the v.a. to submit a report to congress at the end of each fiscal year, listing the bonuses that were awarded to senior level executives. in 2015, v.a. employees received more than 177 million dollars in bonuses which was 24% more than they received in 2014. the average bonus for senior executives -- for a senior executive was $10,000. i have no doubt they serve them admirably each day. i have spoken to veterans for the compassion and care they receive from local v.a. clinics throughout upstate new york. v.a. employees should be fairly compensated for their work and awarded for their achievement. it is also clear to me there is more work to be done. just this month an audit of several v.a. facilities in north carolina and virginia revealed that wait times continue to be misrepresented and that nearly 14,000 veterans were denied access to timely care. the audit found that the veterans are waiting an average of 26 days t

garrett tenney with the news. why would russia help the taliban? >> russia is coming full circle here. what we know as the taliban today started with the same fighters that dried up the soviet invasion of afghanistan in the 80s with training and weapons from the c.i.a. now almost 30 years later, the tables have turned and u.s. military leaders believe russia is likely providing the taliban with supplies and weapons in the fight against u.s.-backed fighters. today general votel says he believes isis and the kremlin's desire of stopping their spread to central asia. likely the taliban has a better shot at tackling isis than the country's current government, which is backed by the west. >> they have created a narrative that we have to partner more with the taliban to address this particular threat. they are tieing to leverage that to a bigger role and trying to pursue peace agreements. i don't think it's particularly helpful at this particular point. >> what adds to the concerns of u.s. leaders, afghanistan is only the latest middle eastern country wh

garrett tenney is live for us at the white house, how much resistance do we expect to see from democrats? >> not as much as you typically expect, democrats had been so busy keeping up with the other political battles over the past few months, everything from the confirmation hearings to the health care bill as well as the president's travel ban. but there has been a bit of renewed saber-rattling over the last few days by senate democrats, many of whom are still upset with republicans over president obama's supreme court nominee merrick garland who never got a hearing. they are threatening to return the favor so to speak, by filibustering, threatening to filibuster any vote to confirm judge neil gorsuch. republican leadership plan to get him confirmed by any means necessary, though, which is a not so subtle reference to willingness to use the so-called nuclear option. that would change senate rules so judge gorsuch could be confirmed with 51 vote instead of 60. that's why this morning on cbs' "face the nation," texas senator ted cruz said in his mind judge gorsuch is a done deal. >> judge
