senator john kyl, from arizona, who collects over $125,000 a year, has decided that he is not going to run again in 2012 and retired. do you think $139,000 is a bit access for a pension? -- excess for a pension? and when you go to the hill today, challenge some of your republican colleagues to give up their government health care and buy it off of the private market, like i have to, as a plumber. congratulations. have a great day. guest: thank you for the call. we have to look at the cost of the pension system. i know that is an issue in cities and towns across the country. i think the question about health care and payment for congress, those are issues that we raised in the democratic caucus. this past week, we put forth a proposal that said if there was a government shutdown, members of congress and the president should not be paid during the shutdown. that was defeated by republicans in the house. many of the republicans campaigned on repealing the affordable health care act, yet resisted efforts to have their own health care taken away. the health care reform bill provides the sam

reid: i say to my good friend from arizona, who we came to the house of representatives together came to the senate together and, madam president when we came here in determining seniority, we both had the same service except the state of arizona had more people than the state of nevada, so he's one step ahead of of me. and i appreciate my friend's statement, madam president. mr. mccain: may i say to my friend, that's in the eye of the beholder. i thank the senator. mr. reid: i appreciate my friend's statement. he and i are both going to vote for this piece of legislation for different reasons but i am -- as i've said publicly and privately, there have been very few people in the history of our country who have served our country so valiantly in battle and in the government as john mccain. even though we disagree on a number of issues over the years my admiration for him will automobiles there. madam president -- we've got a change -- just a second ago there was a woman there. so mr. president -- the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: as the country learned today and certainly we lea

the presiding officer: the senator from arizona. mr. mccain: i ask unanimous consent to add four additional minutes to my 10-minute time. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. mccain: i thank you, mr. president. i'm aware that most of my colleagues are take the floor today to speak about the potential shutdown of our government and very appropriately so and i am opposed strongly to a a government shutdown -- to a government shutdown. i want to note its adverse effects on our men and women in uniform. i join my colleagues in cosponsoring our enduring pay for military act in 2011. the lass thing our fighting men and women -- the last thing our fighting men and women need and their families is how to make ends meet while their taking up arms. i want to talk about the deteriorating situation in libya would could have more profound effects than the crisis that we are in. it's a very serious, very deteriorating situation and one which is fraught with severe implications for america's national security interests. i

senators. my name is kent burbank and i'm the director of the vic sim services division in tucson, arizona. on january 8, our close knit community was shaken at the shooting that took place at congresswoman giffords event. that left six people dead, 13 injured. over 100 witnesses in shock and pan you can and a community stunned. victim advocates from our office were among the first responders. within minutes we had several advocates on scene and we had 35 advocates deployed across tucson, including the four hospitals that were receiving the wounded. i was at the crime scene, along with pima county attorney barbara luwall coordinating our advocacy efforts. throughout the day and night, we worked with literally hundreds of victims, witnesses and their family members providing them with crisis intervention services and emotional support. on more than one occasion, our advocates had to deliver the difficult news that their loved one had been killed. angela robinson is the daughter of two of the january 8 shooting victims. her mother was gravely wounded and her father was killed. angela describe

senator minority leader. homeland security is a major concern of pine because i am adamant about protecting arizona's border, mainly wit california. not to worry. secretary napolitano just released a statement saying that the arizona/california border is more secure now than ever before. and i look forward to hearing from senator paul get ready for five to ten minutes about the scourge of low flow toilets. congressman wiener, great to see you. my fellow insurance subsidiaries asked me to give you a big hug on that obama care waiver. i heard there was some speculation that you may be facing eliot spitzer in the upcoming new york mayoral election. spitzer returning to politics is great news. at least for d.c.-area hotels. but you know, campaigns are full of twists and turns. my campaign featured a mailer with a photo of me playing with my nieces. and i was immediately accused of renting a family for political gain. let me be clear. i am fiszical conservative. i don't rent. you i pay cash. i refuse to leave this country worsz off for our niece says and grand nieces. most of you know i lived in washington. but g

former senator barry goldwater's wife peggy was a founding member of planned parenthood in arizona. and former president george herbert walker bush as a republican congressman from houston spoke frequently on the house floor about the issue. now, it's astounding how the right wing of the republican party has walked so far away from their most revered leaders, but that's their choice. but it is also our choice as to whether we're going to stand here and take it or come here and rebut what they're saying. so count me in and count the democratic women and many men on this side of the aisle who have stood sentry on this taoepbld the true about this. and -- on this and told the truth about this. and the truth is we're in a budget debate, mr. president. everything the republicans said is we've got to close the deficit gap. we've got to cut spending, cut spending, cut spending. and we said okay, we'll join you, but where were you during george bush's days? you never said a word. we'll put that aside. we'll meet you because when we had the majority and bill clinton was president, we're the

arizona are making some surprising claims. they said the border patrol has been ordered to chase away instead of arrest illegal immigrants trying to cross into the u.s. from mexico. one of them testified to a senate hearing today. he claims there are rumors that agents are under orders to reduce the number of arrests at certain hours. >> contrary to what secretary napolitano says the border is not more secure than ever before. she's divorced from reality in thinking so. >> reporter: the u.s. border patrol chief called the allegations 100% false. >>> southwest airlines plans to return five 737s to service after fixing cracks in its fuselage. southwest airlines inspected planes, five inspected planes had cracks. inspectors put new aluminum skins on their roofers. >>> a reprieve for riders of caltrain today. the good news they are getting. >>> and so we got this big event. a million people locking hands. >>> why gavin newsom thinks this sign of unity will provoke change. >>> way too much of a good thing could have dire health consequences. what the world health organization says about overuse of a certain type of medicine. ! completing an atm deposit in record time... that's a step forward. go! go!
