state in their vested interest the koch brothers i mean you don't have to pay you have to bribe them yeah you willingly do it i was going to i don't think that it's necessary i mean they conducted their partisan more against before the election but they're certainly all too willing to serve as the eager sock puppets for the deep state's fight to take down or at least limit the foreign policy of the trumpet ministration which this leads to no of all that countable unnamed anonymous deep state officials that you have been trying to get out right you know it is that really is a phenomenon and. the other hand the liberal media gets all upset when the other side uses anonymous officials leaked leaking information and stories out but let's let's review the crumbling russia gay narrative in the in the past few weeks we've had the former director of the f.b.i. testifying under oath to the senate new york times story trying to draw regular connections of collusion between the trumpet ministration and a senior at russian intelligence officers was largely not true in the main in the main archer

>> the kochs, the trumps -- >> the kochs created that wealth. >> they inherited a fortune at birth.re in the lucky sperm club. >> now he gets it. people actually produce. people create, people make choices. the kochs inherited a lot of money and made a lot more money. the steve jobs, the bill gates created their wealth, and all of your viewers are beneficiaries, enormous beneficiaries, the vast majority of the 1% are people that have worked hard, have created something, have built something and deserve it. >> that is absolutely preposterous. there are people who live in my building who go out and clean apartments all day who work ten times as hard as most ceos who are dirt poor. meanwhile, ceos sit by -- they own a capital stock, they sit by the pool waiting for the butler to come out with a tray -- john: jesse, you told us everyone deserves a dignified life. >> absolutely. john: -- in which their material security is a guaranteed right. and that includes a college education, healthy food -- >> if people want a college education -- john: comfortable housing and health care. >> free

to you guys are both going to continue to push the petrol billionaires the koch brothers on the list if they it's not a nothing to worry about here yeah the planet is warming up appliance in order to follow the laws to be greener just cost businesses money needlessly it makes the cost of producing cars in our country more expensive the cost of producing everything in our country more expensive what i mean let's let's also wondering what do you believe there and i did say what are you talking about it make what what makes things more expensive. regulations e.t.a. regulations complying with certain standards you know that is supposedly making this huge difference and seatbelts make way to make cars larger and they accepted models of how hot it's going to get over the next hundred years it's a wide range it's between one degree and six degrees these guys have no idea how to play the i guess you see. yes. nate i think you're looking at your legs and are crimes and if you are you ready to grady's yeah i'm not pitching and i'm sure there's even hawkins there that huge. well that's ok let's

well i love their argument the koch brothers argument their talking points are it's not fair people who can afford solar panels on their homes which i find laughable these are people who could care less whether or not you have the funds to be able to even afford a home let alone being able to afford solar panels but again it's setting up an argument against you know taking care of the environment and i think net metering is really interesting because it's not just for people with salt solar panels it's also for people who are trying other kinds of methods. or wind power as one of the methane gas there are a whole lot of there's a whole series of ways that you can have the net metering work for you as a homeowner so that the notion that we're turning. public utilities into government organizations i think that's a powerful real or well that's still a bit crazy i think put it forcing them to do so would definitely be a socialist kind of dream well but in the end why not have stronger regulations that do protect the consumers well that's that's fine with me this is my point is that you kno

, i mean an active supporter of politicians the way the koch brothers might be or others so yes i do talk about that in the book. interestingly jones was on the complete other end of the political spectrum. in fact was a big supporter of walter mondale when he ran for office and she classified herself as an independent. ray called her a patsy. he felt that she was way too left-wing for his tastes. she was smart enough to keep the tour itself while he was alive but the minute he died she let it all hang out and that's when she became a major peace activists. i write in the book about norman cousins, you rate -- may remember the saturday review editor who was quite as ray would call it bleeding heart. an old mcdonald's executive who i interviewed for this book just by the concept of norman cousins and the antithesis of a hard driving hard drinking businessman but that's the interesting part. that's what i find so fascinating about this story. they were very similar in some ways but they were so different in others and in politics not the least. >> thank you. >> thank you. that's a grea

but what happened was the hard right, koch brother wing of the republican party has too much influence and for years they have been on the outside attacking. they're pretty good at attacking. now they're on the inside and they can't get anything done because they are so far away from the american people. and i say this because if they do the same thing, campaign one way and then propose legislation another way in favor of the wealthy powerful few, they'll fail on tax reform. they'll fail on infrastructure. instead on those issues. work with us in a bipartisan way and we can do good things on both those issues. ready for your questions? reporter: couple questions how things went down last night. when did you know he was going to vote no? senator schumer: i can tell you john and i talked four or five times since he came back. we had a lot of discussions and i'll leave it at that. he's one of my closest friends in the senate. reporter: and you worked together on a lot of different issues. senator schumer: john mccain is blessed with an internal gyroscope of what's right and wrong. he gets

what the koch brothers mean by freedom is their own freedom. and by the way they are the second wealthiest family in america worth some $80 billion. what they mean by freedom is their own freedom to profit off of the misery of ordinary americans who rely on a wide variety of government programs that make life bearable, and in some cases even possible. now, i want to say a word about freedom. madam president, this is a 203-foot yacht. thithis is a yacht owned by the billionaire that costs about $90 million to purchase. now, like everybody else i think in this chamber, i think the american people, every american, should have the freedom to purchase this $90 million yacht. and i would urge all americans, go to the internet, find out where they yacht stores are, wherever they sell yachts can you go out there and say hey, i want the freedom to buy this $90 million yacht. we all believe in that. you've got some money, you buy it. madam president, here is a picture of a collapsing -- home. and this home is worth tens and tens of millions of dollars. l

laura pitt koch on why she said the u.k. bottom it reeks of the establishment in a major speech jill that you talk about social media deal with a sick feeling is that the day that the british labor government lost the u.k. national health service act dating universal health all in. one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime. who did it why did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks i mean you've mentioned one across the recent run somewhere attack it's still unclear where that originated from so our clear message to government is to work together around the world to minimize this risk to grow those relationships and make sure that diplomacy is the key to everything. welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive immunoglobulin that my body gets and support is that it cannot produce itself around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity and does this. people one of the si

the koch brothers to be more mainstream.he mercers have unusual and different beliefs and they essentially or have been steve bannon's benefactors over the last couple of years, pouring money into breitbart news. also into a movie production company, data science from that trump relied on. and most importantly, a nonprofit research entity in tallahassee, florida, which produced the clinton cashbook they came out on the eve of the election and sort of tarnished clerk clinton's image i documenting her ties to some of the shady foreign donors. the mercers were big backers of trump. originally behind ted cruz. but they got behind trump, giving him money, setting up a super pac. rebecca mercer, the daughter, who is very aggressive in getting involved -- i've a scene where she flies out to a trump fundraiser in long island, demand a meeting with trump. you can do that if you have given him millions and millions of d dollars. and says, look, you're losing. you're going to lose this election unless you make a change. you are losing

those people associated with the koch brothers who are spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on elections, they like it because their ideology, their philosophy is that government should play no role in the concerns of the american people. and mark my words, mark my words, if this bill, which would cut medicaid by $800 billion passes, medicare will be next and already -- next, and already in the house they have passed legislation that would voucherize medicare, and social security will not be far behind. that is the ideology of the koch brothers and the people who fund the republican fight, and their concern is with large campaign contributors, not the american people. so i would hope very much that tomorrow when we assemble here, i gather in the afternoon, for a vote, the republicans will think more about people in their own state, about the children, the elderly, the sick, and not just about their campaign contributors. thank you very much, mr. president. i yield the floor. ms. baldwin: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from wisconsin. ms. baldwin: m
