we've had defense minister german defense, mr bar as the story is hitting back end of describing those comments as unacceptable . how would you assess the stage of the trans atlantic relationship at this moment as well? we're certainly in the unchartered waters. i mean, we've had serious tensions across the atlantic before it feels like ancient history . but if you remember back to the early, 2, thousands and the brought off to the invasion of a rock. there is serious anti americanism in europe and serious disagreements within the alliance about how to approach that conflict. but this is different because this is a percept perception by europe that united states is actually meddling in ensure your opinion, affairs, and domestic politics inside europe. so this is certainly different, i worry that this particular aspect of it, the, the perceived interference by europe will actually drive a real wedge between between united states and europe and ways that are different than what we felt back in the early, 2, thousands and there were up to the invasion of iraq. and another issue that's cau

mr. chair, just a second. people need to understand that my son, before idea, before the department of education existed, state and local schools did not educate these kids. they barred them from the classroom. they were institutionalized and abused. there's a reason that the department of education and idea exists because educating kids with disabilities can be really hard. it takes the national commitment to get it done. that is why so many people are so concerned about this proposal to eliminate the department, because they think that kids will once again be shoved aside and especially kids with disabilities. thank you. chair cassidy: senator scott. sen. scott: one of the things that you and i had the opportunity to talk about months ago is i believe competition doesn't fact increase the production and improve the outcome, typically. there is private sector, public education. i think the competition is a key component to making things better and typically cheaper. charter schools is a classic example of that. typically speaking some of the most successful schools in the country, think about success academies in new york city, where you have 83% minorities who are

why would this administration -- does the bar go even lower when the office becomes even higher? if mr. kennedy cannot be bothered to learn the basics about medicare and medicaid, he will certainly not bother to stand up for them. this administration has made clear that it is willing to gut medicaid in order to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. the president's new director of the office of management and budget has in fact proposed that the administration cut medicaid, a program that provides health insurance coverage for approximately 80 million americans by more than one-third. does anyone think that mr. kennedy will be a voice of reason, that he will speak out on behalf of american families and make the case for saving medicare or medicaid? he can't even describe what they are. mr. kennedy is an intelligent and educated man, but education and intelligence aren't a substitute for taking the job seriously. if mr. kennedy were in the running for a different post, his failure to understand the basics of our health care system might not be relevant. but it so happens to be the america
