blackburn: thank you, mr. chairman. again, i thank the vice chairman and the ranking member for their persistence on this issue. i also commend mr. gohmert who has worked with kari's dad and has seen this through. we're pleased to get this on its way to the president's desk. indeed, we're going to consider -- continue to work on the enhanced 9-1-1 requirements because we do think that that is important. and technology allows more precise indications of exactly he-r -- exactly, precisely where phone calls are coming from. but solving this problem is one we need to do today. all of us who were moms and dads and have children and grandchildren, you train them to dial 9-1-1. and i'm certain that that's what kari did with her daughter. if there is ever an emergency dial 9-1-1. and the fact that this required he preceding digit, an extra number, to be dialed in order to access that outside line that would have delivered that 9-1-1 call. of we look at 50 years 9-1-1 service, and kari's 36th birthday, which is coming up tomorro

now, both corker and blackburn are in the race. it could be quite a fiery primary. and the more contentious, it actually is how a democrat can win in a place like tennessee. no primary, tougher for democrats. messy primary, you know the story. we'll be right back. this new day. looks nothing like yesterday. roads nowhere to be found. and it's exactly what you're looking for. witto discounts onlick thousands of hotels, cars and things to do. like the garland hotel for 40% off. everything you need to go. expedia . >>> welcome back. the biggest development of the 2018 election so far isn't a candidate getting in to a race, it isn't gettinga candidate gett of a race. and it isn't a scandal. it is a man. for the past few weeks, the midterm wins seem to be at the republican backs of late. president trump's job rating was inching up for a while. tax law becoming more popular. and a couple of top level candidates announced that they were running rather than not running. but those wins just shifted back into the democratic party's direction. pennsylvania supreme court releas

marshal blackburn is a candidate who is potentially running for that seat. not a nobody, right? she's not somebody who is a nobody in the house right now. she's obviously been a voice inside the republican party. a very strong donald trump supporter and surrogate at times. and here is the statement that her spokesperson put out when these rumors of this corker thing first came up over the last 18 hours. anyone who thinks marsha blackburn cannot win a general election is just a plain sexist pig. goes on to say, we aren't worried about these ego-driven tired old men. marsha has spent her whole life fighting people who have told her she's not good enough and she'll do it again. >> that's right. >> part of the reason that bob corker has thought about getting into the race, it chose if marsha blackburn did win this primary, she would have a very difficult head-to-head fight against democrat dresden. that's why bob corker would want to step in, because bob corker could win this race, apparently. but bob corker has something against him. he's not -- president trump

blackburn: this is something that allows them to have that quality of life. why would you vote against lifting these caps? and giving seniors what they deserve? they have paid for medicare through their working life. what they are seeking is to be able to have a full recovery. it is not only the appropriate thing to do. this is something that adds to the quality of life. just as keeping these community health centers funded enriches our communities, it enriches rural america. and i close with reiterating the int, out of fairness, out of respect, out of loyalty to those who put on the uniform to defend , let us join together and vote to fund the military and to support their efforts to defend this nation. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from tennessee yields back. the gentleman from new jersey reserves. the gentlelady from new york. mrs. lowey: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: reserves. the gentleman from new jersey. mr. frelinghuysen: mr. chairman, i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the chairman of the energy and commerce committee,

marsha blackburn: mr. president, first of all, i want to say thank you for saying let's go to the source of the problem. so many times we react to symptoms. picking up on what the whip said with the new assistant secretary of mental health, this is somewhere that, yes, indeed, we need to be looking at the tools that they have and looking at these young adults, individuals who have crossed that 18-year-old threshold and who, within their family or their caregiver has access to those mental health records and how law enforcement has the ability to get that information from children's services. so many of these have records through their teenage years that have been on a schedule. president trump: and working on that, that's part of what we're doing. rep. blackburn: and we need to have that visibility. and the house has wanted to fix that system. another thing that has come up from some of the moms - i was a room mother when my kids were in school. and now as a grandmother, i'm talking to a lot of young moms.

republican congresswoman from tennessee marsha blackburn and running for the u.s. senate.s there an honest daca deal to be had in this congress? >> i believe there is. i think the president has been more than generous. i'm one of those that says let's begin with no amnesty at all. and then let's begin to work through this process. secure the border, end chain migration. end the visa lottery system. make certain we do those things so we don't circle back again and continue having this. >> bill: the path to citizenship you could vote for that. >> i said no amnesty. with the dreamers. there is a difference in dreamers and the daca enrollees. i think that's an important distinction. there should be some way to work through the issue with the dreamers. for some of these individuals that use the daca program to come to our country or they're in gangs or drug trafficking or sex trafficking. those are not individuals that need any sort of accommodation. >> bill: go back to the original premise. could you do a deal that sees a path to citizenship for up to two million who are here

blackburn has been a known ally to president trump since his 2016 campaign.f corker was to re-enter the race and stand the chance of winning, analysts say he would need to win the approval of the president who remains popular in tennessee. >>> and last night democrats flipped their 38th and 39th legislative seats since donald trump became president and democrats picked up a statehouse seat that has been held by republicans for more than 40 years. and in a city that trump won by 13 points in 2016, democrats won by 7 points flipping a statehouse seat from republican to democrat. the fifth time that has happened in new hampshire over just this past year. this is as the cook political report has moved the special election in pennsylvania's 18th congressional district from lean republican to tossup. president trump carried that seat in pittsburgh suburbs by 20 points. and yesterday the democrat in that race reported raising $3.2 million in the first seven weeks of 2018. the vote is less than two weeks away. >>> and still ahead, markets get rattled by new fed chair

republicans are concerned that blackburn could lose the soot seat to a democratic governor.corker decides to run, she will not drop out. >>> and president trump appears to be letting his guard down when it comes to one of the most capital targets of his presidency, the media. the white tie dinner usually features dozens of journalists and politicians dining and performing comedic numbers and telling jokes about lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. trump opted not to attend last year's dinner. he skipped two other staples of the d.c. social scene where an appearance by the president is usually routine, the alfalfa dinner and the white house correspondent's dinner. the white house says there is no decision that has been made yet about the president attending this year's white house correspondent dinner. >>> back with us now, eugene scott. good to have you back with us. a lot to break down here. but let's start with the president. are you surprised that he is now shifted gears and willing to appear at the gridiron dinner? do you think this is going to mark a shift in the white

going to find himself in a tough position with that. >> kimberly atkins, the fact is that marsha blackburna solid ally of the presidents and that is, in terms of, you know, primary politics, makes a big, big difference. she had, in fact, her spokeswoman had responded to corker's spokesperson suggestion that she couldn't win by saying that was the comment of a sexist pig, so she was going all in. >> she was, and she has been doing very well, leading up to this primary, very closely aligned to donald trump. the one thing that had senator corker reconsidering was people close to him, republicans, who are concerned that perhaps she would have difficulty in the general election, as you said her response was to call such a thing sexist. but they always said look, if she was doing well, polling well, fund-raising well, that the likelihood was senator corker would pull back and we've seen that's exactly what he did. >> sabrina, the other really interesting story that's been bubbling up is melania. melania trump now clearly firing this outside adviser, very high-powered new york event planner, who,

of course this all boils down to concern that blackburn may be at risk of losing a general election andou know, peter, with just that one seat majority in the senate, every single one of these senate races is absolutely critical. >> especially given what we just witnessed taking place in alabama. republicans anxious for any potential loss. kacie hunt on the hill for us, thank you very much. >>> elsewhere on capitol hill, at that explosive hearing, the director of national intelligence, dan coates, called the national debt a dire national security threat. >> the failure to address the long-term fiscal situation has increased the national debt to over $20 trillion and growing. this situation is unsustainable. former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mike mullin first identified the national debt as the greatest threat to our national security. >> so this comes as the white house is out with its latest budget proposal that you may have seen would add $7 trillion to the deficit over the next ten years. ben white, chief economic correspondent for politico, is joining me now. he's also no

i think his likely opponent in that race, marsha blackburn has a big lead on him and would probably enjoy the support of most tennessee republicans. but to the broader point that you brought up in the "new york times" and some of the critics coming around, when a president wins, and is now the most powerful person on earth, and he is from your party, it behooves you in many cases to find ways to come together and get on his team because in some ways he is a blank slate. i don't think he is an ideological conservative at heart. but, getting his ear and convincing him of things when he is the decisionmaker is something that i think is, you know, of a political instinct comes out. and it makes sense for a lot of people in the party. even critics. even skeptics to try to rally to him. >> martha: it's interesting because is he not overly ideological and because he can be swayed by events and i think that's really what we saw this week. very extraordinary listening sessions at the white house where they opened themselves up to raucous debate right there in the middle of the white house. i thoug

at this point, and blackburn has come out very hard against him.use if he got in the race, it would put her in a real pickle. you have to still consider her the front runner but there's another congressman trying to get to the right of her. that would leave her caught between the well known current senator and this outsider. it would be a tough spot. she needs to get one of her flanks covered in what will be a competitive general election. >> dana: i think it was trent franks from arizona who said that if somebody can get to his right, he'd vote for him, too. >> he said god help him. >> dana: exactly. chris, thank you. >> you bet. >> dana: hundreds of civilians killed this past weekend in syria and growing concerns the government may be using chemical weapons. we're live in the region. he's a decorated veteran and former navy seal who just gave new meaning to the term returning for congress. he will be here live to explain. i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your
