to you. we could do the same logic to think about banks. given the amount of money being made it's hard to argue they should be subsidize. but it also doesn't fit their business models making a prophet on these. that's something that could be considered as well. that's more these ideas that get government more involved in the current administration i don't think that is a likely prospect. >> so what is the likelihood you think of advancing what you call financial justice. what you think is the roadmap for that in these very uncertain times? >> the first thing we need to do is take about what financial justice means. are all americans being treated the same way by finance institutions and other ways that may be outside of the actual financial services but went up to it. those things i would like into where we saw african-americans in poor neighborhoods be an unfair targeted for minor infractions. that led them to basically fund the municipal system. that target certain groups over others. the first step is collecting that information and lif

i want to do in my life. ve up my entire 's vacation if you would just let me do the movie, so i had a smart attorney at the time, jeff jacobs, who said, you never want to be in that position again where you have to give up yourself, your life, so when the contract negotiations came around the second time, i said, what if i own the show and you don't pay me unless the show makes money? and we make money together, so let's split it. so i approach everything that way. if i am going to be of value to you, it should also be of value to myself. david: you are now the ceo of your company. you are the owner and ceo, and you have thousands of people working for you, and as a ceo, you have to say no to people all the time? and is that hard to do? oprah: you get other people to say no. [laughter] david: ok. oprah: saying no is hard. that is one of life's big life lessons for me. i grew up raised in the south, raised in the south, needing to please, wanting to please everybody, so it took me a long time to get that lesso

i told him the best thing to do is to pull this bill. i will not sugarcoat this, this is a disappointing day for us. doing big things is hard. need time to reflect on how we got to this moment. ultimately this comes down to a choice. of us willing to give a little to get something done? are we willing to say yes to the good, to the very good, even if it is not perfect? that wee willing to do have still such an incredible opportunity in front of us. that we can so much do to help improve people's lives. i have to tell you, that is why i'm here. that is why every member of this conference is here. companies tocan feel more confident in their lot in life. i'm proud of the build we produced. it would make a dramatic improvement in our health-care system and provide relief for people hurting under obama care. what is troubling is the worst is yet to come with obamacare. of the long inclusive member driven process we have. any member who wanted to engage constructively to improve this build, they could -- improve this bill they could. i also wa

capital to do what you think is right. in the state of florida not everybody thought what i was doing was right. the biggest compliment you could get is i don't believe in what you believe but i'd know your heart was in the right place. whatever it was you didn't have to find agreement, you had to achieve respect to be able to move the ball forward. few leadership skills i would like to talk about today. to make one thing pretty clear. this complex form of public leadership is more important today than when i was governor. the world is moving at warp speed. it's accelerating. it's incredible if you travel to northern california, which i try to do to keep my mind from being stuck in a paradigm. the move will we -- the world we are moving towards his moving far faster than we can imagine. the combination of automation in ways nobody could have envisioned a decade ago. the explosion of artificial intelligence in ways that defy the basic science fiction -- it is incredible what is going on. the combination of that and the rapid

we're going to allow the market to do that. ng to let people decide what they want to do with their lives and we want to lower costs by having more competition and equalizing health care, tax savings accounts, that gives people the freedom to buy what they want and can afford. >> [ inaudible ]. >> we will have 218 votes. this is the beginning of the legislative process. we'll have 218 when this thing comes to the floor. i can guarantee you that. >> what do you say to folks who say this bill [ inaudible ]? >> read the bill. go to read the bill.gop. >> [ inaudible ]. >> well, it's not that this is open for negotiations. what mike is trying to describe is we envision three phases occurring here. let me describe to you what the three phases are. number one is this bill which we use is reconciliation. as you know you can't filibuster a reconciliation bill. this repeal and replace bill is what we pass to reconciliation. phase two, all the regulatory flexibility that the secretary of hhs has to dee regulate the market place, to lower t

we could have done to do it better. but ultimately, this all kind of comes down to a choice. are all of us willing to give a little to get something done? are we willing to say yes to the good, to the very good, even if it's not the perfect? if we're willing to do that, we because -- because if we're willing to do that, we still have such an incredible opportunity in front of us. there remains so much that we can do to help improve people's lives and we will. because that's -- i've got to tell you, that's why i'm here. i know it's why every member of this conference is here to make this a better country. we want american families to feel more confident in their lot in life. we want the next generation to know that yes, the best days of this country are still ahead of us. i'm proud of the bill we produced. it would make a dramatic improvement in the health care system and provide relief by people hurting under obamacare. what's probably most troubling is the worst is yet to come with obamacare. i'm also proud of the long,

you want to say to the world? how do want to be used and not have the tv use you? david: what drives you to keep working so hard? in the 60'se category, and you have lived more than you will live. you can say, why not relax a little bit, ease up? why have you decided to work harder than ever before? oprah: the thing that works for me all this years, whether the magazine, which i still have, or whether it was the show, i understood that there is a common denominator in human experience, and i want the same thing you want, which is the same thing you want and you want. what we all want is to be able to live out the truest, highest expression of ourselves as a human being. that does not end until you take your last breath. what is the truest, highest, vision you hold for yourself? no matter where you are, there is always the next level to the last breath, so i feel i always knew i would be done with the said as muchelt i as i could say here on this platform, and then how will i be used to? if there were a theme song to my l

to pick it apart. what i donow, the easiest way to make tax reform fail is to not go bold, to not try to leapfrog america from 31st in three are better positioned so we can compete and win anywhere in the world, especially here at home. maria: said the priorities or what? you want to get the corporate tax rate down and you want to simplify to three brackets. go through where your priorities are for tax reform. >> so, priorities are growth, designing a coat that built to punish people or bring money from them, but to grow jobs, wages in the u.s. economy. we want to leapfrog america from dead last among global competitors and keep us there. and we wanted tax code so fair and will that nine out of 10 americans can file use in a postcard style symptom system. we decided once in a generation we get this opportunity. we can't go mediocre. he can shoot middle of the pack. that is why these provisions we are recommending recognize our competitors are beating us today. these are big changes in the tax code. some 30, 50 y

i'd like to see them do more. and i'd like to see other companies like the internet of things companies really take some big steps. >> overall, this latest wikileaks release, what will be the overall impast on silicon valley companies? >> i hope it will make them continue their efforts and step up their efforts to make more secure tools. i also hope that they will work with us to try to get the cia and the government in general to stand more on the side of making us all safe rather than making sure that they can get into every device that we have. offense matters. defense matters more for all the rest of us. either our tools, they're in our homes and they need to be made secure. that should be the priority. >> cindy cohen, thank you. >> thank you. >>> whether it's a used couch or room for rernt, craigslist was one of the internet marketplaces. now focusing on journalism. last week his foundation gave $1 million to support the investigative work of a company, and given money to the pointer institute as well as kqed

and i know we're not supposed to do that. ool you tell children you have to find common ground. sorry, no common ground. >> how do you reconcile yourself to where we are. not in terms of accepting it or going along with it but in terms of how you process this day-to-day? i saw the other day, a joke something like i'm just waiting for some day when i wake up and it scares the heck out of me. i'm trying to clean it up for pbs. but how are you navigating everyday? >> well, "saturday night live" has been a great elixir. that's a real rallying cry for us to say this something we never thought we would see in our lifetime. i have two daughters who i'm very proud of. francis north carolina school of art a ballerina dancer. she went to hillary and she has been in protests. my mary louisa, 14 in pasadena, liberal k liberal-minded human rights blessed women in pasadena. and they have been very, very active about it p and you just realize, i turned 60. i'm 61 now. but i thought rest of my days after president obama was going to be, you k

do better. everybody needs a teacher to help them do better. i'm not going to do that. do understand? able to say, we are all in this together. your thoughts about those points. and mr. jenkins and mr. boldin , if all three of you would just answer that. and i thank you so very much. i want to be part of helping under the judiciary committee with the leadership of john connors. we are going to do something. we are going to do something. i just need to hear from you. so the idea of mandatory accreditation and de-escalation, there is good scientific merit for that. you cannot manage a problem you cannot measure. we have always been in favor of data collection, whether it be done in public or by private researchers first as a sort of entry point. doesn't matter for us. we are in favor of more data. one thing i would like to bring everyne's attention to, police department has to have certification from an academy. that academy is certified by a state agency. usually a state post. are only 38 of those in the country. that means there are 12 states without a centralized state post. the heck

stands a lot to lose if he does not do it. so that is important to remember as well. exactly what the nature of the communication is and what exactly is going on has i think yet to be determined. there is a lot of stuff to go dug up first. >> when you said alpha bank is essentially vladimir putin, i looked right at matthew, explain that, is he right about that? >> i'm nottacts at this point. we can't prejudge until we know exactly what the evidence will support. second, i would say if vladimir putin was mounting any type of attempt to covertly communicate with the trump organization or campaign, the russians have plenty of assets that don't have a giant russian name on them and billions of dollars in assets -- >> so you don't think it would be easy to be found -- >> it seems like if they wanted to be found, why would they want to be found? >> this is just not how you do it secretly. you open up an e-mail account, you share a pass word and write in the drafts. that is the old school way to do it. >> let's bring in my federal pro

and people should have something to do with it. second of all, did anybody y'all president, donald trump, to school, because know nothing about politics. why do we have to go and look it up on the books to see what decision he made, what he said, can't even get up there and tell what he did because he is not the one doing it. it is the people behind him. dorothy.anks, guest: inside the beltway in there is , d.c., different thinking than the rest of the country. a lot of people like donald from extreme silver e, born with a spoon in his mouth, never had to work hard to pay mortgage, make to their kids can go college and afford healthcare, just the basics, every opportunity for your family. up in lower middle class family, this is what i lived through and what i understand. come and do that, i agree, i think donald trump has with no experience and unfortunately, every single day that is reinforced, whether it terrible idea on muslim ban that is now twice rejected what that doesnd for international relations, whether it be the awful pr

and would want to be doing. one of the ways that concerns about legislation are being answered by its champions is to say there is one phase, more to come, more legislation, more regulatory action that would try to fill in some of the gaps and what can be done through reconciliation or done in this bill. tell us specifically what that might look like. what would you be doing when it comes to regulatory changes, administrative changes, if the legislation that is now going through congress would pass to build on what it would do? >> this is an area where i'll kind of lay out the 30,000 foot view, but it is important that we not get too specific because as i mentioned, we want to do this in a legal and constitutional way and as you and the folks here and those who might view this understand and appreciate, rules and regulations, new res and regulations require an administrative procedures act process in order to enact them, so it requires publication of the proposed rule, a period of time where the public is able to

to the u.s. tax rate. what we do is we give the companies option to defer paying at tax if they elect to keep their money overseas. so it creates a bad incentive, enuraging them to make the decision to keep the cash overas. they can defer paying a tax ra that is the highest. host: so incurred them to bring it home, what rateould you set? guest: you should have a minimum tax. the debate has been anywhere from 10 1. if they pay at least that amount internationally, saavedra 20% tax they pay to lease that amount of money to the german governnt and a nuclear repatriate the mon bk to the u.s. tax-free. this is what hpened, a l of tax havens are set up were no tais there. paying no. businesses local tax and by having a minimum tax they would be reired tpay a minimum level of tax, but it would no nger have an option to defer. rit now companies are bringing a lot of money overseas and the u.s.overnment is getting little tax revenue. we want them to pay the tax right away. if they are in a hh tax jurisdiction there will be n

didn't get a chance to do it. i will now invite a second home to the witness table where i am honored to welcome the newest secretary of veterans affairs who will be testifying for the first time in his new role, dr. david shulkin. i so enjoyed with the ranking member being at the white house during your swearing-in with your lovely family. thank you for being here and congratulations once again on your confirmation. 100 to zip i might add. i look looked very much forward to working with you, beginning with two nights hearing. the secretary is accompanied tonight by dr. baligh yehia, the deputy under secretary for health, to medicare. thank you for being here. also finally w also joined by te honorable michael missal va inspector general and randy williamson, healthcare director for the government accountability office. thank you for joining us tonight. secretary shulkin, we will begin with you. you are recognized for five minutes. >> greedy chairman roe, ranking member walz, members of the committee. thanks for be

good to have you here. what do you make of the charge are called to step down to chairman nunes by chuck schumer? >> i love it when senator schumer gives republicans advice on what we ought to do. he is doing exactly what the chairman ought to do. when you have a sort that has information, you handle that information safely, securely, exactly what he did. i wish senator schumer and the democrats would be more interested in the authenticity and the reliability of the underlying data and not the means by which it was required. whether the white house or waffle house, what difference does it make if the information is reliable and authentic? it just so happens, devin had to do it this way. we want take advice from senator schumer. >> martha: everybody is wondering who the sources, who called him, there is a story about how he received a text and his car, with other staffers. got out of the car quickly, left, went to the white house, we now know, view to the documents, then, goes back to show them to the president. tha

we had to do a lot of explaining. and now we have folks knocking on our doors and saying, hey we would like to provide your cca service, which say much better place to be. we are seeing expanding cch community readiness within regulatory and legislative environment to really push on these key issues like the power charge and difference adjustment. and we have been at the forefront of organizing a trade association, among the operating ccas and the local government communities that are interested in embarking on a cca. and in fact, i am the president of the trade association. we have done a lot of work this past couple of months. educating legislators, and engaging with the california puc commissioners and we had two new commissioners come on in january, and so we have what i would characterize as meet and greet, opportunity tlz that we took advantage of, and really helping to emphasize for them, that we are sort of the new kids in town, as a cca community and the electric sector, but we have a lot of work to do with th

they will do what they want to. they didn't do regular order.hey didn't allow amendments and all of that. they wrote something with the senate rules. let the senate write a bill and you write the real bill. that's the way it should work. i won't give you the hammer trilths and it's a great title. >> it's fun, but "the washington post" gave me that in trying to discourage me. i never lost a vote. >> the timing might get extended. there you go. tom delay, always a pressure. thank you for sharing your views. untangling the web. we will take a look at campaign member's paul manafort's russian connections. stay with us much e: its raised 1 dare devil, 2 dynamic diy duos, and an entrepreneur named sharon. its witnessed 31 crashes, 4 food fights, and the flood of '09. it's your paradise perfected with behr premium plus low odor paint. the best you can buy starting under $25. unbelievable quality. unbeatable prices. only at the home depot. he's a nascar champion who's she's a world-class swimmer who's stared down the best in her sport. but for both of t

>> we. >> what would you do to fix it? id of the individual mandate. >> how do we pay for it? >> there is no payment for getting rid of the individual mandate. what is the individual mandate says if you have to buy insurance whether you like it or not. it makes everybody mad. it was a political mistake. it doesn't really affect the insurance market as much as all the gurus in academia think it does because we had this system for kids under 18. all our kids have been insured under 18 for the last 25 years because we expanded medicaid. we didn't have an individual mandate. 1% of the people chose not to get insurance. that's -- >> so are you saying the mandate in terms of the funding part of obamacare was minuscule? insignificant in terms of funding? >> the individual mandate. the employer mandate is a different -- the individual mandate made no difference and all it does was make people mad, it was a mistake politically. look, if i could design any health care i wanted, i could go back to the public option, i'd let people who

it's in your interest to do so. and if the chinese renews to fu that we have to consider all options, isn't necessarily a world war. but the -- mr. kim jong-un has got to understand that there would be a huge penalty to pay if he even tried it. >> one last quick question. as is the senate house bill, would you vote yes or no? are you going to vote yes or no assuming it comes over? >> i'd have to look at what comes over, greta. it's changing all the time. i hear different statements and comments. we will go -- doing a remaining process here in the united states senate. i want somhing that i can vote for. 's vital that we fix these system. we -- but we promised to repeal and replace. we didn't promise just to repeal. and that's why i'm sometimes a little frustrated -- >> aren't you just amending obama compare? >> well, it -- amendments can change the entire bill. i mean, there are amendments particularly on medicaid expansion and others that would have the effect of rewriting the bill as you know. but to do nothing, i

i think the hope was, this is a president who likes to do big things and certainly likes to do things that people before him were uncapable of doing. and his predecessors have really struggled with maintaining a positive relationship with russia. and so it was kind of a challenge to him. this is just setting a side all of the issues that russia and the russia issue bricks to him just because of these investigations. but i think he was hoping to do some large bargain where you could take all the different areas of tension and try to relieve them by cutting deals on other areas where they can agree. for instance, and the white house is still considering this even though they are not considering some sort of grand sweeping bargain with russia, they are considering looking at sanctions that the obama administration imposed particularly in relation to the intervention in the election. and they're willing to roll back some of those sanctions and other measures if they could get something from russia that could be taken seriously even on something like cybersecurity. so i think he had hoped

what they were getting ready to do. and adams is the driving force behind it. the scene that i always remember is jefferson has written the declaration. they are doing what congresses are supposed to do. they are marking it up and amending it and changing it. they are marking it up. one member says we need to change this section. because when king george sees this it might be offensive to him. adams rolls his eyes. another member stands up and says in this particular section we need to change it. this one sentence could be a little strong for parliament, we need to amend this. adams rolls his eyes again. a third member says this paragraph has to go all together because this could jeopardize our deep sea fishing rights off the coast of carolina. finally, adams can't take it anymore and says it's a revolution thing, we're going to have to offend somebody. that has been your attitude. our job is to stand for the truth. we make our job too complicated sometimes. our job is simple. do what you sent us to do. now is the time t

he is not under any obligation to do that. high might be under some obligation to share what we knows with his fellow committee members, i think that is where he gets into a jam, it has been lost because people have been focusing so much on his seemingly unusual behavior, i described it a michael scott impersonation, i like had he said to a reporter, are you going to step, or recuse yourself. he said back, why are you so lame? it was very much like an office episode, i thought it was the funny, he is not be o not bnot obliged to tell the reporter anything. he is to tell his committee members. kennedy: i think he is being a little bit clumsy here and giving democrats more kindling for their campfire, he ran out after the white house and found a bunch of cameras and said i have this incredible horrible thing. i don't put it past them to be gathering somebody's conversations of people who are on the trump transition team in their questionable net, i understand that is important. but then to say, i'm not going to tell you what i kn

able to do anything. means finding the center point where action is universal. if we ask the community to back our resolution of cgp attacking donald trump, it would create nothing but a firestorm of horror. on the other hand, we are now in the process of building a massive fundraising campaign and volunteer service campaign to be out there with undocumented immigrants, helping them to defend their lives and families. [applause] now, when nancy and i used to work closely together, we tried to avoid things that would destroy the jewish community, and we focused on volunteer service and on things that would bring us together as a community to really make a difference. i'm not interested in providing the jewish community. i'm interested in bringing it together around things that 95% of the jewish community will agree to because our heart is the heart of the stranger, because we remember what it felt like to be strangers and slaves, because we remember what our torah demands of us, and we will do that, but we

we need to do two things, chris. er one we need to push for single payer insurance, medicare for all, the kind the canadians have, the kind that every other civilized democracy on the planet has. we have to push for this because we need to fix these parts of obamacare that did cost us votes in november. this has to be fixed. do not sit around and say, oh, we've got obamacare. democrats, you have to get this fixed. but the people who are watching, the people who are members of the resistance, and we're talkitalk talking tens of millions of people now, we have to shift part of our focus away from congress who we have been barraging for the last two months with phone calls, visits, letters. we have to go after the insurance companies because these private profit-making insurance companies are going to do everything in their power to do what trump said is going to happen. they're going to try to explode or implode obamacare. >> so here's a question about the political lesson because you and i spoke -- i think it was the d

i am going to be able to do everything better thch is his first big test. ming to washington. i don't think he cares so much about the details. that's what we talked about. the he subcontracted this out to speaker ryan and said you do it, that's okay. we know we have to repeal and replace all in one step so just do it. that's fine. now he is going to have to go out to kentucky, he is going to have to go out to tennessee, se going to do the salesmanship. he has people coming, he has members of congress coming to his bowling alley in the white house and by all accounts he is making friends, influencing people, even senator lindsey graham who is no big fan of donald trump, i yesterday coming out of the white house, well i had a pretty good time, boy she a charming guy and at the same time, donald trump is putting pressure on the republicans saying it is going to be a bloodbath in 2018 if you don't pass this. >> dickerson: and paul ryan is also saying with everything else, can only come tax reform, all the things they want to pass can only happen if this happens

if they want to do it they always find a way to do it. >> let's say they get a way to do it. when ronald reagan was pushing stuff through, and he was different circumstances and wider margins and able to press, even with that popularity, it was an uphill battle at times. do you think that donald trump has to be immediately right up from the get-go and say we're going to get these tax cuts. some of you may not like the means which which we get them or they're revenue neutral or any of this stuff, but we've going to get that, hook or crook, hell or high water, we're going to do them because if we don't, we're finished. >> i would hope that he would do that, but i've got to tell you, after i watched what went on with obamacare, i'm not sure he's-- he understands the process and understands the philosophy and understands the foundation to actually write a bill. what he needs to do is do the right thing for the american people, and do it bold, and he needs to lead. he doesn't need to turn it all over to congress. however, congress needs to assert itself and do the right thing, too

what we have to do is figure out how to go forward with american health insurance and make sure that we can do something that is good for the american families out there because they're suffering with high deductibles, high copays and high costs that make it hard for them to afford that insurance. they may have a piece of paper that says they're insured. that does not mean they have the ability to go use that insurance in a meaningful way unless they have a catastrophic injury. >> you're a member of the house freedom caucus. the type of rigid conservative ideology, except you weren't going with the house freedom caucus by and large, you were supporting this legislation. here's the question. is that rigid ideology hurting your party's ability to enact its agenda to get compromise, if you will, something that can pass? >> no, i don't think it is. we didn't come here to be robots and do whatever the leadership said on any particular measure. i agreed with leadership on this one, i may not agree on something else. we had members from the scenter and the right who didn't agree. we'll have

if you like me are one of the lucky one was get to do what they love to do. so i come back today rested, ready and thankful to all who labored while i was gone. from a great staff to unbelievable substitutes. i come back during a week that suggests how interesting our times are, from the fbi director testify being a president, to a supreme court justice confirmation, to a vote on the republican health-care plan. oh, to live an inn interesting times. i come back thanks to medical science and because of that, i am in the best shape have i been in for a long time. i thank you for your support, and i thank you for staying close. and when we come back, we begin with the testimony of the fbi director james comey and the direct of of the nsa mike rogers and we talk to representative adam schiff and peter king of the house intelligence committee. we begin this the house intelligence committee hearing on russian interference in the presidential lex. james comey confirmed there is an ongoing investigation into russia's meddling including possible collusi, o n of presid

to regulate nightlife. if you do not know that i think i've said this before. this is real. this is sort of the outgrowth of all that that everyone wants san francisco to sit alongside all these world-class cities to say this is how we do it what we do and everyone should take a look at how we do it. it's nothing is perfect obviously. there are some things we can do better but that's why i go to these things and the tenements of that we can get even better but we are pretty much thought leaders in this nightlife space. so congratulations. to get better, the next item is to ask you to look in your calendars because there's enough new commissioners come i think in one very new omission or that we need to put a retreat on the books. to review obviously code and our processes and you been to these before some of you. but i need to know when you are available. so if you want to look at your calendars now or you want to send me an e-mail, i don't make a big mess as this but we need to pick. typically we do this on a half d

way more work to do than is already done. as long as where she the privilege to exist, that's what we focus on. >> yancy disrupted the world and now another entrepreneur is doing the same. n nbc's morgan ru morgan ratford it's exploding by millennials. >> they call it costco for millennials and it's changing the way we shop. >> 36 months ago, you were in your garage. >> that's right. regular nondescript two car garage. >> started three years ago, boxed suicide basicalbox ed is basically a warehouse in your pocket. designed for millennials who don't have time or transportation to shop for good deals. >> you mentioned this company is perfect for people like me. millennial, new yorker, don't have a car or the time to go shopping. what about people in the more rural areas. >> that's been one of the biggest things that's caught us by surprise. what we found is there's literally tens of millions of americans out there without a warehouse club within an hour drive of them. >> you can order bulk good directly from cell phone to door.

we promised to do it first. we're going to do it first. y is the chance. >> if you fail is it going to be that much hard story get it done because you won't have that $900 billion in revenue that you are getting from this bill? >> george, i've heard that a couple of different times. tax reform will also have to be reconcilable and will have to lower the deficit on its own and it will stand on its own two feet and just as importantly the tax reform is something that the president's working on now. when you see tax reform the first time it will be the president's plan and will drive the debate on that. >> you don't know if you have the votes right now. how confident are you that president trump can close the deal? >> i have a lot of confidence in the president. i've seen him talk -- like i said, more members in the last couple of days of both parties by the way and had democrat, republicans, conservative, moderates and everybody through the white house. i think we had 100 members of congress to the white house yesterday. the president's a tre

so we really need to do a top to bottom reform of how we do dairy pricing in this country. and create insurance programs and products that can actually work for small dairies. particularly in places like upstate new york. mr. perdue: i'll come if you promise not to make me milk any more cows. mrs. gillibrand: no, you don't, i promise. mr. perdue: the volatility of prices, there's no business, not just agriculture, but there's no business that can survive with a volatility of range of prices that dairy farmers have had to undergo the last few years. the prices they're currently experiencing are unprofitable. even the best family farms cannot survive under those. mrs. gillibrand: i agree. another issue very important to new york state is the snap program. it is so important that we have food for our families. some of the work this committee has done for making sure snap gets to rural families, using farmers markets, making sure that we can do summer yields, that kind of work. i would ask your commitment to focusing on how we can deliver more food to more families throughout th

nobody is trying to do that. but the fact is that we have llowed this problem of illegal immigration to grow to the point that it has now. i don't know if anyone has an exact number. i heard anywhere between 11 million and 17 million people in this country illegally. if you're going to be a sovereign nation you have to have borders and have to defend those borders. you cannot allow people to illegally enter into your country and take up residence. you just cannot do it. but we let this grow to this point today. from a criminal standpoint, because of former president barack obama dismantled some of the things that we had at the local level where we could assist. we don't have federal immigration authority at the local level. cops, sheriff's deputies, sheriffs do not have authority to enforce federal immigration but we can work with i.c.e., immigration and customs enforcement. we can work with them. they're the ones that do the investigating. they are the ones that do really the work on immigration d -- but since fr

before i take questions, i want to do something i don't normally do. i am going to call on "the new york times," because they are in trouble. where is my "new york times"? matchplay gottheimer and alan rapoport are in big trouble. printed this morning that i am the father of 17-year-old triplet girls. my 17-year-old daughter wishes that had happened, my two 17-year-old sons are not happy about that. [laughter] mr. mulvaney: if you could clarify that, that would be great. i'll give you the first question. reporter: we are not great at math at "the new york times." mr. mulvaney: the math was right, the gender was wrong. reporter: during the campaign, then-candidate trump talked about national debt, which has reached around $22 billion. you mentioned in it your budget message this morning. is there a plan, as the president talked about during last year's campaign, to eliminate the national debt in eight years? he said in the campaign it would be easy to eliminate the entire debt in eight years. is that something he's committed to trying to do? mr. mulvaney

do any of you want to use that term wonderful? and if so, what parts of the bill do you think are wonderful? >> no. and there are some improvements in the legislation from the leaked draft, but there was a wonderful bill that every single republican voted on just a few months back. and tomorrow, senator paul and myself will be introducing that same piece of legislation. and that is exactly as i said earlier, consistent with what we told the american people we were going to do. repeal obamacare. how about using the bill we all supported and then replace it with something we actually believe is going to lower health care costs. >> mr. jordan, can you talk for a minute, mr. jordan or mr. meadows. you said you met with the vice president, he said he's open to negotiation here. the vice president -- he said this is the bill. i hear all of you talk it sounds like you're trying to get somewhere where you can support a legislative product at the end of the day but as you just alluded to, mr. jordan, and mr. garrett said this, they wrote th

but this is fully within the administration's rights to do. on the principle that the democrats overreact to everything, this will be portrayed as friday night massacre. but this is what happens. you clean out the old guard and bring in the new guard as a consequence of an election. charles: there is a lot of anxiety particularly when it comes to the intelligence community. this is also probably a welcome move with respect to be restarting that relationship. i think the american public is leery right now. >> president trump when they did this. he aloud all of president bush's nominees to stay until replacements were confirmed. but i think wait points to is this distrust of the obama appointees and all the people left over from the administration. the democrats push back and everything donald trump tries to do. so if you are not going to play fair and square with us, you all need to resign. that's part of come batting that anxiety that there might be pushback. >> i had the privilege of serving as a federal prosecutor in brook flynn the eastern d

to be. to do happened to you, it is unimaginable.e available, but - is really become available, but what is really important for the support, the ”ie“? that important for the support, the fl that has important for the support, the "55 that has been brought in, service that has been brought in, the applicants working with those victims, from the time that they meet the report, all the way until believe the process. that same is

as i said earlier in the week, we could do a tremendous service to the country if we're able to do a credible investigation. and at the end of the day, provide a report to the american people that has democrats and republicans on the same page. but if you have a chairman who is interacting with the white house, and sharing information with the white house when people around the white house are the subject of the investigation, and doing so before sharing it with the committee, it throws a profound doubt over whether that can be done credibly. >> did chairman nunez reveal any classified information today? >> well, it's certainly inappropriate for us to be discussing whether specific people were the subject of collection, or incidental collection to any degree that can divulge who the targets of that surveillance may be. so i'm not prepared to say that what the chairman said was classified or unclassified. i can say that it is beyond a regular to receive any evidence that's within the scope of an investigation, and clearly if the chairman is right about the content here, it's one of the

it's only the people who they authorize to do it. there are probably up to 2,000 people who can access the unmasked data. that includes service -- >> one had the feeling -- >> also computer programmers. lou: one had the feeling that admiral rogers was being within the painted lines on that, but the intelligence community, you're looking at 17 agencies, good lord, we have no idea how many people were doing that, nor do we have even a clear instinct. some at least insight because of what was released to the intelligence committee chairman that the president's instincts or information whether or not he and the rest of his team were being surveilled was pretty good. william binney, thanks so much. >> thanks for being with you. good to be with you. lou: you got it. thank you. coming right back, a lot more to cover what has been truly a historic news day. stay with us. we'll be right back.. >> the trump administration says now is the time trepeal and replace obamacare. >> if you want to see obamacare repealed and replaced, this is the vote,

the messages, that is not the right way to do it. you were the president talk specifically on the campaign trail about at least 5% reduction to the unauthorized program, and that is what generated this budget. eatingr: you talk about the promises the president made during the course of the campaign. the housing and urban development budget calls for a 13% reduction of $6 billion. president trump said specifically to urban black voters, he said "what do you have to lose?" least $6out, at billion that go to programs that benefit those communities. what do you say to those citizens? director mulvaney: what we saw and i talked to dr. carson just today. we went through the analysis of the hud budget. a lot of their money spent on government housing and building it. infrastructure. what secretary carson and i talked about was figuring out a way to do that better. we be allies we are working on a large infrastructure program we we realized we are working on a large infrastructure program. we want to take the money for infrastructure in hud r
