higgins. mr. higgins: thank you, mr. chairman. director, thank you for being here. we appreciate very much your accessibility. le folksy and modest approach to things. that's very, very refreshing here in washington. infrastructure is obviously a centerpiece to this bill. with 159,000 structurally deficient bridges in america. every second of every day, seven cars drive on a bridge in this country that's structurally deficient. it should be the centerpiece of this bill. however, the white house infrastructure plan, in my estimation, is another thinly veiled hit on local and state taxpayers. for every $6.50 of local and state road and bridge spending, the federal government will spend $1. so more state and local taxes to fund roads and bridges. people are -- get more taxes at the state and local level. they already pay an 18.4 cent a gallon gas tax to fund the federal highway fund. and then this plan relies on tolls. people at the local and state level will be taxed three times. to finance this bill. secondly, total spending over the next decade in this plan will not

were joined by -- we are joined by tim higgins. even though uber is paying does this mean waymo won this battle? >> i think both sides can see areas up winning. the new ceo of uber comes in and has msc has to deal with and is essential able to get it out of his ways we can focus the company and what is next, bring is self driving cars to the market and put these distractions behind him. waymo can claiming victory , receiving in equity in uber one of the largest settlements in trade secret case that has an -- has been in the past decade. both sides have something they can claim victory over. >> you mentioned waymo is being paid using equity that google had in uber so did waymo really win anything in bringing this lawsuit? >> if you looked at the past year, this lawsuit is been going on for about year and it has been huge distraction for uber but you have to remember that uber realized in 2015 that google was thinking about getting into the ridesharing business and becoming a competitor. uber was concerned this would be an extra esse

tim higgins joins us now from san francisco. for folks who have not been following along with this this is a longtime coming. talk to us about what is at stake. the state -- the stake of the thomas cars but will on one side, waymo who has been the past nine years with the technology we have uber on the other side who sees this as it crisis they need to create robot taxes for their future to survive. these two giants fighting it out. one key engineer at waymo at the time , the expert in the world and so-called technology left the company and the startup was quickly acquired by uber. he became the guy for them to try to create robot tech. >> the question is did this chief of uber self driving cars unit, first of i want to ask you to expect them to take the stand in that day is did he take what he learned that waymo and apply to uber essentially stealing waymo's idea ? >> that is the big question. anthony is most likely expected to take this to plead the fifth. he is not been participating with uber's defense and no longer works fo

higgins. >> thank you and members of panel thank you for appearing today. i am a frequent flyer my congressional service and as a police officer for many many years and current service to my country i certainly recognize the struggles and frustrations of firm line officers and first responders. i've really come to know personally the men and women that serve as tso's and especially in my local airport in louisiana. i have come to recognize the human element that they deal with long lines and staff shortages, equipment that doesn't seem to be cooperating very well etc., travelers that don't quite get it on how to arrange their bags on the screening devices and i've seen the frustration. i am wondering how is morale? can you give me a general answer? how is morale old -- among the tso's? >> thank you for your question. i would say overall are tso's have a great sense of pride in what it is they do for tsa. >> no doubt. >> and i think that shows day in and day out in the work they do to accommodate all of our passengers and treat everybody fairly with respect.

for more on this where joined by wall street journal tech and auto reporter tim higgins from our sanose studio. this took some time but we now have rules that will allow the testing of driverless cars. this is a key step. >> this goes back to 2012 when the legislation was passed and enacted and then the regulars had to go about to figure out how to put rules in place for this technology that had not even thought of as real before that. >> into these new rules a person actually had to be present. right? >> yes. we talk about how google/way more now known as windows been doing self driving test all over the state for years and there's always been a safety operator ready to take the willing case the computer brain did not understand how to drive. >> let's talk about how this testing will work. can any company put their cars out on the road?>> there is a permitting process just like before. when we had this other testing procedure you had to apply and go through a process to get permitted to do these things. you have to meet certain requirements. going forward if you're going to take the

we met one very passionate eagles fan today john higgins. he told us he has gone the distance to get his hands on these passes. he was up at 4:00 a.m. went to two local stations where passes were sold to the people in front of him. he hopped a train, came over to center city and 30th station and this is where he bought, get this, 30 of these independence passes for family and friends. he assured me they will be on the first regional rail train that runs tomorrow out of bucks county to make sure they get into the city. >> it's just been a crazy day and the way i look i just threw some clothes on this morning because i knew the bad weather was coming. but it's, you know, it's fun. can't wait till tomorrow. i just hope we're able to get on the train tomorrow. >> reporter: and that's a very real concern for people. even septa says that regional rail trains will be filled to capacity and not everyone with a weekly or monthly septa pass or one of these one-day independence passes will be able to have a seat and board the train. the good news is if

higgins from new york. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and coming from buffalo, the super bowl is not a good subject. dr. hall, thank you very much. just a couple of questions, in the previous speaker had talked about supply side. and these are all very fair debates that should be debated rigorously. and, you know, supply side trickle down and i think the new term for all of that is dynamic scoring. and that is what the future economic impact from tax policy will be. which is, you know, it's not an exact science. and i guess that's why it's subject to a lot of interpretation. but a couple things that concern me. you know, the treasury secretary had stated explicitly, explicitly that the tax cuts, as proposed, that are now in the bill, particularly the corporate tax cut, which was about 14 percentage points, but the percentage change was actually 40%. the tax cuts generally pay for themselves. do you believe that? >> i want to be really careful. because different tax changes have different effects. some can have an effect on supp

higgins. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for being here. healthcare industry in americaa $3.4 trillion annual industry. health insurance and health care is all about quality of calls. i think based on any objective measure we are not achieving optimal results. i think everybody agrees with that. but i think like anything else the federal government has a huge massive payor of healthcare. not only general services but prescription drugs as well. you've got 74 million under the medicaid program which is an insurance program. you've got 57 million people under the medicaid program which is an insurance program. you've got 30 million under the veterans administration. that's a lot of leverage, a lot of leverage to drive down the cost of healthcare and tribe of the quality insisting on it as a major consumer of healthcare. people on this committee and in this house, we can disagree, and we do. republicans and democrats about the extent to which the federal government should be involved in healthcare. but one thing we know is we will be involved.
