>> i say medicaid is not the only vehicle to be able to purchase coverage or be able to have coverage. the goal of the senate plan and the president's plan and he is adamant about this. every american has coverage that they want. again there is a seamless transition to the individual market and the market is more robust because of the kind of changes in the senate bill and other kinds of things that we are doing at the department to provide greater choices and lower costs within the individual and small group market.our goal is, if you're not eligible for medicaid in this new construct that you're eligible for the kind of coverage and have the kind of subsidy, the kind of assistance financial assistance to purchase the coverage. >> let me come at you from a somewhat different angle. where rand paul is coming from. he is not alone in this. there are members of the house that feel the same way. perhaps others in the senate as well.his point is you do not repeal and replace obamacare. you leave most of the key elements in place. coverage for pre-existing conditions that people, young peo

to meet with president putin and they were able to again they were able to connect on anybody warm international level and that the president you know we need to understand that the president is is very intent in his spreading. spreading the relationship geo politically in other words to go beyond just a single party alliance partnership and to be able to explore new areas with the new partnerships with with other for other forces and other government in order to improve the development agenda of the nation and the philippines the president's quite open in doing that and that's exactly the reason why it was able to go through to russia now are you just mentioned that despite the. the trip being cut short the president detent there was able to have a meeting with president putin at the very last moment right before a living russia. how did that meeting go you mentioned the respectful exchange but can you give us a little bit more than just diplomatic pleasantries well again i'm going to that because it was a it was a close in meeting except that the president did say in some that it was warm and

but, i think we'll be able to do ours faster than they did. thanks again, secretary mattis and department of offense, they have detailed to us, some executives who have worked their projects. they are now at va and helping us to begin this. we have institutional knowledge from them. that's in considerable. >> i will tell you that in this decision, i am not only reviewing large numbers of reports, independent management report but i consulted all the stake holders, members of congress and the people of the white house to be able to talk with everybody to make this decision at the white house. we talked with the president's office but working closely with the american office of innovations and all the state holders that's contributed to my thinking. yes, please. >> during the bush's year and the obama's years, what were the guarantees where you try to bring all or integrate all the information from all the senses into this one system. what are the guarantees? >> no guarantees. high risk process particularly when you are doing this in the largest

i was able to help people. i have worked for 45 years, and in those 45 years i've mentors probably a couple hundred people and elyse ten-15 people i got to go back to schools at night either to complete their two-year associate degree or their four-year bachelor degree. on top of that we moved to virginia and the company i worked for was so impressed that they offered me to go to james madison university.ition in and they paid for my tuition, books. i went to another five years of night school to complete my bachelors degree. and i just want to thank you guys, because i can see you take the same interest in the youth in trying to develop this to really help our country. i ended my last ten years and like remaking a six-figure salary.ea so this goes to show you, if you take the initiative, if you have the opportunity you can be successful and this is what our country needs. >> host: all right, bob. >> guest: i definitely want to hear congressman thompsons, it's because of early this gentlemen may have come from

not be able to get into.keeping role, there is no doubt, it is literally saving the lives of thousands of people. butjust to be clear about it, the un said in december 2016, "a process of ethnic cleansing is under way in parts of south sudan." is that your beliefs today, that ethnic cleansing is happening in the country which you, for the un, are responsible for, where you sit with a force of 17,000 or so military personnel and you are unable to stop ethnic cleansing continuing? the killings that are going on, and there's a multitude of them — every part of south sudan is a bit different — there is an ethnic dimension to them. around that time that report came out, there was talk about genocide and that was a word that scared people and certainly got the attention of the international community... people have talked about rwanda, people have said south sudan has all of the components, the ingredients, that could push it over the edge to be the world's next rwanda—style catastrophe, genocidal catastrophe. i wo

a lot of them were stuck in the building before they were able to get out. it is unclear if they are able to get a hold of their family members. 800 people work there. not all at wupbgonce, of course. not necessarily at the time of the shooting. but from what we gather from people in the area, this is the time of a shift change. overnight folks would have been getting off work and the daytime folks would have been coming in. so we can only ascertain at that there would have been a lot of people at that time. some told us they believe there was a morning meeting happening when this shooting took place. it is is unclear if the suspected shooter walked in at that time or was already in the meeting when the shooting happened. from what we have been able to gather, it happened on an upper floor. one source telling us it could have been on the third floor. a woman on the first floor said it didn't happen there. she heard it happen above her. she got out of there when they finally realized the sounds she was hearing was gunfire. our source telling vic lee that the

[applause] >> i am truly honored and humbled to be speaking here today. for as long as i can remember, i wanted to serve my country. and in the summer of 2009, i had the privilege of deploy

of dollars, were able to read each records now. that's called interoperability. what you are not able to do is actually work together to plan a treatment to go back and forth between the department of defense and va. we've not been able to obtain that to this point. so, for those reasons i decided that va will adopt the same electronic health record as the department of defense so, we will now have a single system. that system is known as the mhs genesis system which, at its core, is millennium. the adoption of the same system between va and dod is going to allow all patient data to reside in a common system so you will have the seamless link in the department without the manual or electronic exchange of information. so, a secretary, i think, i'm not willing to put this decision off any longer. seventeen years and spend too long. when dod went through its decision on electronic medical records and its acquisition process in 2014, it took them approximately 26 months to do this and i will tell you, in government terms, that's actual

be able to get into.r about it, the un said in december 2016, a process of debt cleansing is under way in parts of south sudan. is that your beliefs that ethnic cleansing is happening ina that ethnic cleansing is happening in a country which you, for the un, are responsible for, use it within force of 17 thousand personnel and you are unable to stop ethnic cleansing continuing? with the comings and that are going on and the multitude of them, every part of south sudan is a bit different. there is an ethnic dimension to them. around that time that report came out, there was talk about genocide and that was the word that scared people and certainly got the attention of the international... people have talked about rwanda and have said south sudan has all the components that could push it over the edge to be the world ‘s next rwanda style genocidal catastrophe. i worked in rwanda just after the genocide and know what absolute failure looks like. my feeling is, yes, there are atrocity that are being carried o

so at some point you have to flip from being able to get it to being able to not get it. and then as you sort of relax the rules, make it more generous, give to it more people or slow the phase-out, you can take away some of that sting. that's the tradeoff. >> we talked about training employees. career edge is one of our programs that we raise private funding for career edge and that's to invest in the low to mid level workers to provide training dollars to the companies to be able to upscale their workers and lift them up so they can make higher wages. we often run into the employers saying to us, help us, help us, because our turnover rate's in the 90% with a low wage worker, where do we need to get them to that they don't quit? because they do. because again, if they lose -- what happens is that they now report that they're making, say, $12 an hour. and three months later they have to report for child care assistance that they're receiving, or food stamps, and they get cut. they just get cut off. and at that point that parent has to make the decision, i cannot afford t

they'll be able to get there. i think this is something that american people we're going to have to be a little patient in that this process, our founders put a process in that's slow. we have to adjust some of our rules and processes and traditions to get back to that. founders intended is a real process that works not just ramrodding something through. one thing we may have to do is get away from these artificial deadline. if we're going to allow the process to work. the senate, they're on a real deadline. we need to get this done to get on to tax reform. i think it maybe a little too optimistic to think they do it this week. they're not that far off to getting the voses they -- votes they need. host: we're talking with representative barry loudermilk of georgia. in washington d.c., democrats line. caller: you mentioned earlier that staffers have to go through dangerous areas. i live in washington d.c., i have to go through dangerous areas everyday in the area i live in. there's shootings three or four gunshots

and now i am thrilled to be able to sign that promise into law. va accountability is essential to making sure that our veterans are treated with the respect they have so richly earned through their blood, sweat and tears. this law will finally give the va secretary, who is, by the way, just doing some job and he's doing it with this and with the heart, believe me. [ applause ] it gives the secretary the authority to remove federal employees who fail and endanger our veterans and to do so quickly and effectively. it's been a long time since you've heard those words. those entrusted with the sacred duty of serving our veterans will be held bltable for the care they provide. big statement. at the same time, this bill protects whistleblowers who do the right thing. we want to reward, cherish and promote the many dedicated employees at the va. this legislation also gives the va secretary the authority to appoint new medical directors at va hospital, something which was almost impossible to do in the past. and these are going to be talented, talented pe

to be able to disseminate his a ideas about reform, and the ways he were able to promised stability and hope in the future, was through hope in the future, was through this carefully and very interesting and widely studied relationship with the press. it is one of the most interesting avenues in which to understand the presidency, and the reason nd weight in which the presidency was able to connect with so many different people. he was fond of having his press rooms in the white house, his press conferences, and he used to love to refer to them as his school room. he often resorted to terms like seminar, or having a budget textbook. he would constantly use these opportunities to educate and to talk about, and to control the message. he could be very manipulative, very regulated -- calculating, and he was a masterful and a skillful -- the masterful and skillful use of the press, was unprecedented. we'll never see quite like it. in january of 1934, he invited 35 washington correspondents to his study to explain his budget message to them, and he said afterwards, "it was like a footbal

what we're able to do with the department of defense over years and years is we're able to read eachs records. that's auld intra operability. but we're not able to do is work together to plan a treatment. to be able to go back and forth between the department of defense and v.a. so we've not been able to obtain that to this point. and so for those reasons i decided that v.a. will adopt the same electronic health record as the department of defense, so we will now have a single system. that system is known as the mhs genesis system. the adoption of the same system between v.a. and d.o.d. is going to allow all patient data to reside in a common system so you will have the seamless link between the departments without the manual or electronic exchange of information. so as secretary, i think i'm not willing to put this decision off any longer. i think 17 years has been too long. when d.o.d. went through its decision on electronic medical records and its acquisition process in 2014, it took them approximately 26 months to do this. and i will tell you in government terms, that's actually
