this bill isn't done. they're going to keep trying to convince the american people that you can just spread chemicals everywhere and it doesn't have effects on people but it does. that's what environmental health is all about, and that's why this bill is a step backward to about 1950 when we didn't really know what pesticides did to people. now we do, and we are absolutely right in voting against this bill and the president ought to veto it if it gets through. the senate, as bad as they are, they won't even let this bill through. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from ohio is recognized. members are reminded to direct their remarks to the chair. mr. gibbs: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. gibbs: comparing responsible pesticide use to protect the environment and protect human health as to agent orange is really over the top. i agree with one thing that the

to this bill. under a modified open rule everything is on the table. if that is something that she can get the support of the majority of people on this floor, then that certainly is something she could take out of this bill. but i have another opinion, another viewpoint, i have been to yucca mountain. i don't know that there's a perfect place in the universe to store nuclear waste, but yucca mountain to me seemed to be about as close to perfect as you can find. in that mountain you have 1,000 feet of rock. above where the waste would be stored. and you have 1,000 feet of rock below. where that storage situation would be. and i should remind the body that yucca mountain is the country's only legal and permanent nuclear repository. it's for both commercial as well as defense waste. and it's a critical component of our efforts to clean up the defense nuclear waste created during and after world war ii. while i appreciate the lady's differing opinion, she does have the opportunity to offer amendments.

(sighs) (grunts) (sighs) uh, yeah, i got a delivery here for, uh, clancy wiggins. "wiggins"? n-n-no, it's wiggum. wiggins? that's not even a real name. what's a wiggins? no, really, tell me. wh-what is that? okay, so you're not clancy wiggins who ordered this, uh, skymaster x5000 jet pack. jet pack?

this bill requires the v.a. to come up with a plan and fill all of the positions that are not currently held by a permanent director. they -- then report back to congress on their progress. i thank you, mr. speaker, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady reserves the balance of her time. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. miller: mr. speaker, i yield three minutes to the sponsor of this legislation, the gentleman from the 12th district of illinois, mr. bost. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from illinois is recognized for three minutes. mr. bost: thank you, mr. speaker. as a marine and the father of a marine, i understand it takes leadership to win a battle. however, at v.a. medical centers across this country, we've seen a reinvolving door of temporary direct -- revovling door of temporary directors that have made it difficult to adhere reforms for our heroes. this first came to my attention in my own back yard. many southern illinois veterans receive trea

bill: turned away. he knew immediately. bill: that's miles out.not even close to the right club. it's all happening in a mad rush for him, isn't it? doesn't look like he's focused on what he's up to. bill: last time there was a playoff here, water was a factor. in 2007, palmer landed in the waters with his approach shot and keegan bradley went on to win so the door is open for dottie: that's a 58-degree wedge on the way. a slight touch to the right. smart, smart play. nick: yeah. brooks has to chip it in, hole it for a four, which seems unlikely. watch sergio on the downswing again. traps the golf ball. peter: watch how much shaft lean he has on this one. this is unbelievable. nick: look at the right angle. i love that, the right wrist. he just stabbed that one. a punch. just keep that club -- the priority is get it back to the golf ball with a square clubface. bill: sergio looking for his third win here in the state of texas. when he arrived this week he got a dessert replica from a picture from the 2004 nelson. byron. it's made of edible materia

speaker, i urge my colleagues to vote to reject this bill and let's instead pass a bill with adequate funding and without ideological , anti-women riders. the american people can't afford to wait much longer for congress to get this right. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentlewoman from new york reserves. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. rogers: mr. speaker, i yield three minutes to the chairman of the subcommittee on appropriations for state department and foreign operations, the gentlelady from texas, ms. granger. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from texas is recognized for three minutes. ms. granger: mr. speaker, i 243, in support of h.r. 5 the zika response appropriation act. this bill provides $622 million to respond to the zika virus. both at home and abroad. as chair of the state and foreign operations appropriations subcommittee, i want to highlight funds in the bill for the international response efforts to stop the virus at its source. this includes mosquito control activities to prevent the spread of the virus, public i

bill. and that's the way that for 54 straight years congresses of majorities of both parties and presidents of both parties have defense bill, a last year was a little iffy but it's happened. there's a lot of uncertainty out there some of that uncertainty is because of president obama. part of that is because of us. of us. part of the uncertainty is because of the political campaign. part of the uncertainty is because of the turmoil in the world. and my suggestion to you is that with all this uncertainty going on out there, it is particularly important this year that we send a message to friends and adversaries, the united states is willing to stand up and defend ourselves. and it's even more important, i would suggest that we send a message to our troops that whatever uncertainty is out there, we're going to support hem. mr. speaker, to support our troops, we have to vote yes and pass this bill. now, i realize that if one wants to oppose this bill, there's lots of reasons to do that. the b

i appreciate her help on this bill and her hard work on this bill and this bill is a better bill because of her input on this legislation. the bill provides $37.4 billion for the activities of the department of energy, the army corps of engineers, the bureau of reclamations and other agencies under our jurisdiction. this is $259 million more than last year's funding level and $1668 million above the budget request. this is a responsible bill that recognizes the importance of investing in this nation's infrastructure and national defense. as we do each year, we worked hard to incorporate priorities and perspective from both sides of the aisle. the administration's proposal to cut the programs of the army corps of engineer by $1.4 billion would have led to economic disruptions at our ports and waterways and would have left our communities and businesses vulnerable to flooding. instead, this bill recognizes the critical work of the corps and provides $6.1 billion for those activities. this includes $1.8 billion for flood and coastal storm damage reduction projects. these projects prevent da

right now out of pennsylvania, bill clinton is set to -- excuse me, bill cosby is set to arrive at a suburban philadelphia courthouse for a key hearing in his criminal sex assault case. the 78-year-old cosby faces criminal charges for allegedly drugging and molesting a former temple university employee at his home back in 2004. in today's hearing, it will determine if prosecutors have sufficient evidence to send that case to trial. going to go live to norristown, pennsylvania. janet shamlian is outside that courthouse. we're saying we're waiting for cosby to pull up there, go inside in a few minutes. tell us what exactly we can expect to be happening in that courthouse today. >> good morning. essentially this is a preliminary hearing to determine whether these charges will go to trial. essentially the prosecution is going to lay out its case against bill cosby. and that will lie heavily on the words of his accuser andrea constand and her testimony previously that she was drugged and sexually assaulted at his home in 2004. now constand and cosby settled out of court a civil suit in 20

this isn't passage of the bill, this isn't amending the bill. this is even having the ability to come here and start talking about it. so anyway, i didn't come down here to discuss this particular issue. i came down here to talk about how federal -- how money is used that is sent here by taxpayers and the waste that occurs and the misuse of that spending, but you capital sit here very long and listen to the minority leader and come to any conclusion that you've got to at least say some response when somebody as nonsensical as what the minority leader was trying to say. probably the only good news is very few people were watching, so what difference does it make? i'm here and i hope people are watching to talk about waste of the week. i see that the wages are -- i hope you enjoy this one. some of these things you can't make up, mr. president. the government accountability office has the accountability with what we do with taxpayer dollars. i think he put pouring stuff out of here through the inspectors generals whose job it is to make sure the ta

this is an important bill. not only for my community of santa barbara, but for the memory of a brave member of our armed services we lost way too soon. naming the santa barbara post office in nor of lou langlais is a fitting tribute. born and quebec, lou grew up on the central coast. he was an avid rock and mountain climb who are spent much of his free team rock climbing some of california's most renowned and challenging locations, including yosemite national park, joshua tree national monument. after graduating from santa barbara high school, lou joined the navy in 1986. he spent three years on a warship before being accepted into and graduating from seal training class number 162 in february, 1989. he was a member of the navy parachute team, the leap frogs, and served in the gulf war -- the persian gulf war, with distinction and valor. then in 2000, he joined the highly selective naval special warfare development group where he eventually rose to become a troop leader in the elite team six, before serving mul

what does this bill do? takes the power away from the states and create as new federal regulatory regime. here's the whole problem. people are now saying please regulate us and then when they get overregulated they say please stop regulating us. we should think through how we're going to do things around here. we should take the time to read the bills. we should take the time to understand the bills. so i will continue to object until we've had time to look at the bill thoroughly. with that i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from louisiana. a senator: madam president, let me just say i regret an objection to this very reasonable path forward. mr. vitter: no one objects to all members of the senate reading the bill. i encourage all members of the senate to read the bill. there has been and is continuing opportunity to do that. as you heard, that unanimous consent request wasn't rushing through anything. it was a three-hour debate

bill: okay.t written in the law, basic stuff here, how was the government able to funnel that money in whatever direction it wanted whether it was poor people, rich people or middle class? >> well, particularly, it's $175 billion that the obama administration is paying out, and it's not clear they're able to, at least the first judge said not. so this will go to the supreme court. the problem here is at a time when the insurance companies are losing a lot of money in obamacare, the insurance companies are losing in 41 out of the 50 states, and they're looking at huge rate increases, it looks like there's real potential for them to get hit bigtime by having this money frozen. let me be clear that the people who are on obamacare, the low income people, there's no risk that they're going to lose their subsidies because the law says they will get them. the problem is there's no funding in the law for it, so the insurance companies would have to give these subsidies -- even without getting reimbursed

his name was bill.>> the man was very charismatic, drop-dead gorgeous. >> reporter: ten years younger, in fact. sabina was 49. bill was 39 and very different from tom. tom, meanwhile, was still sabine's business partner. and that's where things got a little dicey. one day tom found sabina in a room in their motel with her new lover, bill. >> he had caught them having sex in room 11 at haley's motel. but he said it wasn't a jealousy thing. it was a lack of respect that, you know, having sex with his wife in the hotel room. >> reporter: not jealous? maybe. still, the detectives knew that sort of thing could very well drive a person to do terrible things. so tom and bill, did one of them harm sabina? they interviewed bill the first time back when sabine's stolen car was found. learned that in 2008 they started dating and eventually they moved into an apartment together. sabina told her friends she'd hit the jackpot with bill. friends like joyce lathrop. >> she even had his picture in her wallet. and she wa

. -- bills -- rural areas that support these bills. with these passage of these bills we are taking decisive action. the senate bill, the comprehensive addiction and recovery act, received number unanimous support in that chamber. i want to thank senators portman and whitehouse for their leadership on that bill. there are additional measures. it is my hope that conference provided for by these bills will yield the strongest possible measure because we need strong, swift and decisive action to address the growing crisis of the opioid epidemic. in the united states, more people die every year from drug overdoses than car accidents. i think that's something that is really as the debate has taken place on the floor this week i think the numbers have just been amazingly stark. and when you realize -- and just a statistic like that, when the deaths from drug overdoses eclipse car accidents, then we're dealing with something i think just begins to put it in perspective. my home state of georgia has 159 counties. 2012 prescription drug overdos

bill: i'll bill hemmer.es" getting a lot of pushback saying trump consistently called the line with women. trump calling the front page story a hit piece. at least one woman quoted by the article, a former girlfriend disputing characterization of her relationship. she had a positive experience with trump but "times" spun it to negative experience. marth: the words evoke a familiar cascade of casual insults hurled from safe distance after twitter account, radio show, campaign podium. this is the public treatment of some women by mr. trump, the presumptive republican nominee for president. defraying, personal, deformed. that from "the new york times." brit hume, fox news senior political analyst. martha: did the support the evidence. >> what is knew about it, or at least some of what is new bit isn't true, and what is true about it isn't new. so it really doesn't amount to much consider the splash it got in the peep. there is real question whether the lead act neck dote concerning a woman who said contrary to

this is a bipartisan bill, this is a commonsense bill and this is a jobs bill and was a you unanimous bill and passed 56-0. the safe act passed in 2008 as part of the housing and economic recovery act and it created two different sets of requirements for qualifications on mortgage loan originators depending on whether they work for a nondepository or a federally regulated depository. it kept people captain i have working for the same kind of company that they worked yesterday because if they tried to change between the two, they don't have a license and can't help people achieve their version of the american dream of owning a home. and so this will allow people to be more mobile in moving between depository and nondeposit tower institutions. it is a jobs issue and will make sure that the work force can go where the jobs are and that they can help people get loans to own a home and we all believe in home ownership and this is a small way we can be for it today. representatives sewell and beatty worked very hard with me with industry stakeholders and regulators to get the bill that we h

the language that they are allowed to put into this bill, my water bill into this energy bill, this amendment, is something that truly makes a difference for the constituents of the central valley we've been suffering over the last few years, and what it's done has devastated our communities. we got unemployment numbers reaching as high as 30% and 40%. we see numbers in some smaller communities as high as 50%. and to see these things happen in our communities is a total tragedy and it doesn't have to happen. all we need is some commonsense legislation. we tried reaching out. we passed legislation out of the house a few different times. we negotiated and tried to get somewhere, but we weren't able to do it and so finding another way to get onto our senators' desk so they can actually take some action and get it to the president's desk is of utmost importance. i appreciate all the leadership and help from both committees to help this move forward, and i thank you for your time and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california yields back. the gentleman from kentucky reser

that is why this cannot be seen as a partisan bill. i truly anticipate and expect a majority of republicans and majority of democrats supporting it, because it can't be reduced to partisan politics. this is too important to do that. ms. jalonick: what would you say to someone in puerto rico who may be dealing with economic troubles on the island and maybe watching this right now? nick and i went to puerto rico with the secretary of the treasury earlier this week -- rep. bishop: oh, fine, you wouldn't go with me, you went with him, great. [laughter] ms. jalonick: we saw schools dealing with bug infestations, electricity problems, hospital having trouble getting drugs for children. what you say to people there who might be suffering under these economic problems about what congress is trying to do and how congress might have help coming? rep. bishop: you know, there are some voices saying you have made bad decisions for the past several decades, suffer, live with it. that is not an appropriate response to it. yeah, there are bad decision

this bill allows the c.d.c. to authorize grants to states based on their ability to educate health care professionals in dispensing opioid reversal medication. specifically this opioid reversal medication called naloxone can be used in emergency situations to stop an opioid overdose death. also through this bill, pharmacists will be able to dispense naloxone to patients without a prescription, increasing access to this life-saving ability dote. this access will help save lives in emergency situations when patients do not have the time or ability to seek or receive professional medical care. the world health organization states that this increased access will save up to 200,000 lives. as a life long pharmacist, i believe it is our duty to always educate americans about the life-saving tools available to them. i encourage my colleagues to support h.r. 4586, so more people can be educated and have access to life-saving medication related to opioid overdose. thank you, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro temp

this bill runs to september 30, the senate bill runs until september 30 of 2017. so, they're not materially that different. what we've said is we would deal with next year's problem in the appropriations process for this year. again, i know my friend's concern is legitimate. i do. i don't have any doubt about it. but i point out one more time, $600 million has been appropriated. or been made available. this is an additional $600 million. this $1.2 billion for the time of this fiscal year is actually more than the administration had planned to spend in this period. it reaches into next year. but they'll have it available for this year, if they need it. they've got another almost $2 billion in ebola slash other infectious diseases money. and they have the assurance that additional things are coming. the only difference here is, are you going to pay for it? or are you just going to add it to the national credit card, another $2 billion roughly on the national debt, when you have the resources and the time available to operate within the appropriations system? so, thi

bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning.its involved series of edits asked by chief correspondent james rosen whether or not the obama administration lied about the timing of talks were iranian leadership. now about eight minutes of video have been cut and replaced with a white flash. >> there are remaining concerns that whave as you all are familiar with, whether it's their involvement in support of the regime in syria or humanitarian issues. and so that has not changed that. >> the obama administration says -- bill: there it was. in part of that removed video the state department spokeswoman, jen psaki admits sometimes the press needs to be misled. that was the suggestion. listen three years ago. >> is it the policy of the state department where the preservation of the secrecy of secret negotiations are is concerned, to lie in order to achieve that goal? >> james, i think there are times where diplomacy needs privacy in order to progress. this is good example of that. martha: james rosen joins us live from washington. jame

bill: last question.scoveries like these as an a astronaut. bill: does it get you excited that we may peel back another layer of the universe out there? or just another one in long line of stories that perhaps will not yield the results guys like you are looking for? >> bill, it is like two things. one, it is very exciting. we found another potential planet where there, might be either like planet life as we know might exist. what we really want to do is find life somewhere else. we haven't done that. some ways very encouraging. these are huge steps, at same point, you realize this is 40 light years away. we can't get there. we'll point hubble at it or whatever resources we can point out. it is still a long way away from what we're able to actually do. but it's a big step forward. bill: tempered optimism. >> tempered optimism is the way to go. bill: potential dead end toot. >> potentially. you hit enough of these things you might score one. bill: thank you, mike. >> pleasure. thanks for having me. martha:

my substitute amendment bill, excuse me, bill will provide vital funding for all of the bills that we're discussing. for bills that will provide the grants, the jew dish committee -- the judiciary committee has brought forth in h.r. 5046 from mr. sensenbrenner. from law enforcement from drug courts. i've just this week been to the graduation of a drug court. we can turn lives around but we need funding for drug courts to spread across our country. for the good work that my colleagues, ms. brooks and mr. kennedy, put into the energy and commerce bill, h.r. 4641, create the task force. mr. guinta and i had an original bill to stop abuse act, that created a task force. we're pleased that that task force will move forward. we need to bring together the experts to determine why now? what is happening in our society that opiate overdoses are leading people, leading this addiction to substance abuse disorder that's a disease, leading people to go from prescribed medication from their physician into heroin off the streets. and in our state, now being laced with fentanyl that is a lethal combinat

bill: i'm bill hemmer. those are dark skies.hreat after a string of tornadoes swept across the rockies over the weekend. watch. stunning video here. colorado hit hard. one tornado stayed on the ground for 10 miles ripping through multiple homes. another twister injuring five people. maria molina is on the ground actually shot some amazing video. she is live in wichita, kansas on the move. back in colorado, how did that tornado form, maria? >> bill and martha, good to hear your voices. welcome to everybody at home. we captured amazing video in colorado on saturday evening. what happened the upper level low pressure system kind of tracked over parts of colorado. we had a warm front across eastern colorado and super cells fired up ahead. once they interacted with the warm front they started to spin and produce multiple tornadoes. the biggest one that tornado in ray, colorado, it hit just north of town. unfortunately bringing damage to the town and causing some injuries out there, bill. bill: where is the threat today now for severe

bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning., 57 delegates on the line tomorrow. >> if we win indiana it's over, okay? [cheers and applause] most people think they -- we can focus on "crooked hillary." please let's focus on hillary. >> carly terrifies hillary clinton. [cheering] i can just picture hillary thinking about carly, tossing and turning and tossing and turning, in her jail cell. [cheering] >> in six teen separate polls i beat hillary in the fall. the reason i win in the fall, that is when people say, i really want to have somebody that knows how to land the plane. bill: brand new polling shows that hillary clinton would lose the state of indiana head-to-head matchups. indiana has been ruby red for decades against all three republican contenders. trump beating clinton 48-41. cruz, 50-43. kasich way ahead. martha: tucker carlson, daily caller and host of "fox & friends" weekend and fox news contributor. good to see you this morning. >> good morning, martha. martha: bernie sanders also wins in the indiana matchups. look a

the bills that will fund the pentagon and overseas operations. >> the biggest bill that congress passes each year. >> even if they are not failing, they are passing. cloudre passing under the of real frustrations and real anger and veto threats. i don't think anybody likes it. i've heard republicans who support the democrat side. why does this have to be happening here and now? it is interesting to see who is blaming who. i don't think anyone is happy, this just seems to be the necessary existential context. the defense department tends to move ahead of the country on these things. >> before run out of time, if this unusual? >> the chairman seem to indicate cap and frequent. -- seemed to indicate that it happened frequently. to make sure that planes are flying and people have enough training. that this is an unnecessary burden put on defense spending.

clinton and bill been knit. richard let me start with you. hillary clinton puts this out here, bill clinton will be in charge of revitalizing the economy. and then her press secretary said oh, no, no we don't have any formal roles for anybody. why walk that back? >> i don't think she was walking it back. first she has to be elected president before she choose as cabinet. i don't think anybody will put president bill clinton in her cabinet. in term of the economy, bill clinton was the most successful president of any president in our lifetime. i mean 22 million jobs were created, we had 4% economic growth. in read somewhere today that bill clinton created more jobs than the four other republican presidents combined during the last four republican presidents combined. >> he had the internet. >> he had a lot else going for him him. why not put him front and center. there's been no better more successful job creator in history. it would be good for her and good for the country and good for work people which she will

reform bill that we are working on. excellent vehicles to include some of the provision -- provisions of this legislation as we move forward. if there's any hope and promise that out of the tragedy of jason's dead good things can come from it, i think the legislation we have before us today, the jason simcakoski promise act, gives us that hope, gives us that opportunity work the understanding that this will be a work in progress. i ask all my colleagues to give their support of this legislation today and again, i thank the leadership of the v.a. committee for the help, the assistance, and focus they've provided on this important piece of legislation. i yield back the remainder manufacture tie time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. members are reminded not to address individuals in the gallery. the gentleman from florida, mr. miller, is recognized. mr. miller: thank you very much, mr. speaker. i now yield two minutes to the gentleman from georgia, mr. carter. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from

bill: i'm bill hemmer. this may be the day.er paul ryan as we speak. so far ryan has not endorsed trump's bid for the presidency. what does trump expect from the meeting? here he is last night talking to greta about that. >> i think we want to get to know each other. we want to see if we have the same ideas. i represent a large group of people with strong ideas and foundation and i think we want to see a little bit about that. hopefully it will work out. martha: about 11:45 eastern time this morning donald trump will meet with republican leaders in the senate side. he is with the house side. earlier today former massachusetts scott brown who has been a trump supporter early on and he is joining us now. scott brown, good to have you here this welcome. >> good morning, thank you. martha: there are obviously a number of issues are the big divide. one of them is the question of discussion of muslims and comments that donald trump made. it needs to be remembered they were made shortly after the killings in san bernanadino. he called

this bill is not john mccain's bill. it's not jack reed's bill. it's our bill and i want to make sure this bill comes out in a way that is good for the american people. my view of what's good for the american people may be different from others but i think we have a responsibility to do everything we can to proceed in a very orderly fashion. as soon as we get on this bill, i'll be able to do my very best and move along as quickly as possible. so i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. rubio: mr. president, is the senate in a quorum call? the presiding officer: it is. mr. rubio: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be suspended. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. rubio: thank you, mr. president. i came to the floor a few weeks ago to bring to the attention an abuse that's occurring in our welfare system and it involves cuban immigration. in sum, let me describe it, the situation we face t

bill: i'm bill hemmer. president saying world leaders are paying close attention to this campaign, and, he says, they have good reason to be rattled by trump's message. >> i think it's fair to say that they are surprised by the republican nominee. they are not sure how seriously to take some of his pronouncements, but they're rattled by him. bill: senior national correspondent john roberts live in bismarck, north dakota, good morning to you. what about the biting remarks on the sidelines of that g7 summit from japan? >> reporter: well, you know, bill, there is sort of -- it's an unwritten policy, but it's one that has been pretty much observed over the decades, that politics ends at the water's edge. certainly, donald trump has held back from criticizing president obama in in any way after what e president said. but at a press conference, the president unloaded on donald trump, as you saw there, saying that world leaders would be rattled or are rattled by the idea of him becoming president, that they're not
