mr. scott: i beg to question. having been in south florida when you were in south florida, we made a big contribution to you, too. mr. rubio: i would say to the senator from south carolina, south carolina has gotten better results for frank martin than it did for me. we're very proud of coach martin. i would just add that given the litany of athletic success this year by the state of south carolina, i find that to be highly suspicious, and i know i just spoke about conspiracy theories, but i just statistically it's very unlikely that a state would have that many championships. i'm not calling for a congressional inquiry, but i think it would just topic of conversation. mr. scott: if my colleague will yield, i will note that senator graham did have clarity in his purpose of identifying the fact that a state with only 4.7 million people in a country of 330 million people, we have been able to secure the number-one golfer, that is true, number-one baseball team, and number-one football team in all of the nation, clems

mr. scott: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i understand that the majority has no further speakers other than the closer. ms. foxx: that is correct, mr. speaker. mr. scott: thank you. i yield myself the balance of the time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized to close debate for the minority. mr. scott: mr. speaker, this bill prohibits federal regulation of stop-loss insurance. the federal government does not regulate stop-loss insurance. it does not affect the states' ability to regulate the insurance. that's where it should be done. the bill does not -- so the bill does no harm. i would hope that after this bill, we will refocus our efforts onto addressing some of the challenges with the affordable care act. by first doing no harm, not going backwards like the bill did several days ago, where the costs went up, number of insurance went down, the quality of insurance was worse. we can improve health care coverage in this country, but we can't do it if the first step is a backwards step. mr. speaker, i

conway and mr. scott. so i look forward to their keen insights. for today's hearing we are also joined by -- or will be joined by one or more committee members not members of the subcommittee. for any members of the full committee who are not members of the subcommittee, i ask unanimous consent they be permitted to participate in the hearing with the understanding that all sitting subcommittee members will be recognized for questions prior to those not assigned to the subcommittee. without objection with be so ordered. today's hearing topic is especially timely. three weeks ago the department of defense inspector general released a report about allegations that leadership within u.s. central command improperly manipulated intelligence products that led to an inaccurate understanding of the u.s. campaign against isis. as a consequence, 30 professionals in the inspector general's office undertook an inquiry into this matter. they conducted 152 interviews at centcom and reviewed thousands of pages of materials over the course of many months. although

scott: what do you mean, have a "thing" for mr. putin? yves bigot: they kind of like him. admire him. scott: all media are suspect in france. like the u.s. elections, social media is being used to channel or influence opinions. facebook is trying to make changes based on hard lessons learned in the states. according to a report in the "wall street journal," facebook claims to have vetted more than 30,000 accounts in france before last sunday's primary election. a french election official said the spread of fake news has increased dramatically. >> people don't have any more faith in them, what's happened here? scott: one media attracting attention is the russian influence hiding in plain sight. rt, or russia today, the channel overtly supported by the kremlin, which recently expanded operations in france. yevgenia albats runs an independent weekly magazine in moscow, we spoke to her last december. yevgenia albats: they, you know, government doesn't have money for healthcare, for education, etc. however, at the last minute, they managed to find 1.2 billion rubles for rt fren

mr. trump, once called global warming and, swans a sweeping executive order for regulators to rewrite president obama's climate change policies. join and we know from oklahoma is scottr. trump's new administrator for the environmental protection agency. mr. pruitt, welcome to "fox news sunday." >> scott: good morning, chris, how are you? >> chris: good. when the obama epa announced its clean power plan, it said that the reduction in carbon pollution would have the following health benefits. i want to put them up on the screen. by 2030, it said there would be 90,000 fewer asthma attacks a year. 300,000 fewer missed work and school days, and 3600 fewer premature deaths a year. without the clean power plan, how are you going to prevent those terrible things? >> scott: chris, i think what's important this past week is to recognize that the president is keeping his promise to the american people to rollback regulatory overreaches that have been occurring the last couple of years. as you know, the clean power plan is subject to a u.s. supreme court state. the steps have been taken by the epa historically, they've equally been challenged several times with respective co2 r
