this bill is a pale imitation of the original bill. it is only a fraction of the funding which the appropriations committee has already put in to enhancing medical research at n.i.h. it overpromises and underdelivers. and some of the aspects of it, the troubling aspects, off-label drugs and special favors for contributors when it comes to medical treatment are just out of place in this. if we didn't learn any lesson in this last election about drank the swamp, well, -- about draining the swamp, well, shame on us because the american people told us do it differently, do it openly, bring in transparency and honesty in this effort, and when it comes to medical research, we should expect nothing less. mr. president, i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from oregon. mr. merkley: mr. president, i'm delighted to join my colleagues from massachusetts and illinois to express strong objections to the 21st century cures bill. a bill that's being considered in the house today and will be considered here i

bill: hmmm.amer, syndicated columnist and a fox news contributor who has made his way back to his home town of new york. how are you doing? >> yeah. good to be back. bill: if trump wins, what kind of president would he be? >> well, the first thing he will do, he will irreversibly reshape the party. this was the party of reagan, and the bush years were sort of an echo of the reagan years. reagan defined the contours of the party. trump will do that, it will be changed. particularly the most obvious issues will be immigration and trade. this will be a new party. it will be a populist party. the country will not have a conservative party in the sense of a reaganite party. and you do that by appointing the cabinet, which establishes the leaders of your movement in many areas of life. i think he will be, obviously the rnc chair will be his choice. and i think he will influence who the leaders in congress are. he shapeses the party. that is what happens on both sides. bill: you're suggesting significan

bill: noted. sandra: donald trump defying all the experts as fox news exit poll show the president elect did better than expected among women, hispanics and millennials, among female voters trump trailed hillary clinton by just 12 points. 54 to 42%. far cry from the wide gender gap reported from the media. among hispanic voters he outperformed mitt romney garnering 29% of latino support and among first-time voters which includes millennials hillary only edged out trump by a 56 to 40% margin. i don't know, ebony, i look at the numbers and i see how did everybody get this wrong? >> i will start with this, a lot of people on hillary's side are looking for someone to blame around this, they are blaming people that went third party, comey, you have to look at the candidate, white women broke -- 56% of white women broke for donald trump. that's huge for hillary clinton. that's a loss you cannot afford and so certainly, you know, people have said, his message, the simple message of i am different than wh

bill and i decided to write a big sweeping imil, one that would -- bill, one that would tackle as many problems as we could all at once. we had a head start because our friend in the house of representatives, representative ted murphy, had already introduced a comprehensive bill. we introduced our own version of tim murphy's bill, the mental health reform act. today about 16 months after introduction, the house is going to pass this bill as a major component of the cures package, as senator alexander said. my hope is that we're going to have a big bipartisan vote here sometimes very soon. senator cassidy and i will be the first to admit it doesn't come close to solving all of the problems that people with mental illness confront. most importantly, it doesn't include new medicaid or medicare money to address some of these huge shortages that patients and families face. but it does require insurance companies to stop discriminating against people with mental illness by rejecting claims for mental health at a rate that is much higher than they do for physical health. this strengthening of

i was thinking the $20 bill is the most counterfeited bill in the u.s., and the world actually. so i was kind of thinking, how do we kind of look at harriet tubman in that light as far as it's potential to be counterfeited and could someone speak to what that might mean or the significance of that in particular. >> i think that's ironic. in two ways. one most bills are counterfeited in some way. and if i think about it symbolically i think about how she went back and forth and helped people become free. so i think it's ironic that that might happen with her bill. may not really respond to your answer but for me that doesn't take away the impact of having her on it. and that's just my simple response to that. >> i feel the same way. i feel like she should be on it and we can't help but the money is going to be falsely replicated throughout the country and throughout the world. it's unfortunate that it would happen undoubtedly it probably will. >> yes. >> good morning, again. thank you for a really incredible panel. i'm a professor of african american studies. the question is for

bill: i'm bill hemmer. mr. x * publicly making her case against mitt romney. she says trump loyalists feel they have been wronged. the number of people who feel betrayed to think governor romney would get the key cabinet post after mitt romney went out of his way to attack trump's character. governor romney, has he been around the globe doing something on behalf of the united states of which we are unaware? i'm all for party unity but i'm not sure we have to pay for that with the secretary of state position. martha: katie pavlich. what do you make of all this? >> it looks like team trump put mitt romney up for consideration to get back at him for his opposition during the general election and primary. it's not just kellyanne conway who has come out against him, mike huckabee as done so as well. it's important to remember that donald trump said on the night he was elected, that a lot of people criticized him, and he wants to put that aside, and he want the help of those who criticized him. and mitt romney immedi

there's only one bill, the v.a. military construction bill, that's signed into law. there are 11 other bills left. funding for every mission. let's start with the department of defense. our troops are fighting overseas, and we need to support them. federal law enforcement. foreign policy embassy security. infrastructure. education, from child care to college affordability. so instead of making choices about what to fund, what to cut, we leave these missions on auto pilot, spending the same amount as last year on the same items with the same policy. no business operates this way, no family operates this way. it is irresponsible to spend a trillion dollars this way with no thought on delaying important investments and thus resulting in cost to taxpayers. last week, -- so let me talk about why this really can give you heartburn. last week, the department of defense comptroller, mr. mike mccord, warned that the stop-gap c.r. delays ships and weapons our troops need. hello, did you hear that? it actually delays the construction of ships and the purchase of weapons our tro

bill: you do? a lot of this transition phase deals with running down the trap doors to figure out what could be lying in the road before you. thank you, much, to both of you. juan, mercy me, thank you. love the nicknames, don't you? martha: i do. keeping jobs here in the united states is one of the big central focuses for donald trump. a big campaign problem is of course. now he is taking credit for keeping a ford plant here in the united states. big news that broke last evening. we'll talk about with charles payne. first, does this moment ring a bell from the campaign trail? >> it's disgraceful, what's going to happen is ford just announced they're doubling down. they will build much more in mexico. we can't allow it to happen anymore. we're not going to allow it to happen anymore. this is my retirement. retiring retired tires. and i never get tired of it. are you entirely prepared to retire? plan your never tiring retiring retired tires retirement with e*trade. i'm in vests and as a vested invest

and again today in the house, working on 16 bills. the bill. the clerk: union calendar number 633, h.r. 5458, a bill to provide for coordination between the tricare program and eligibility for making contributions to a health savings account, and for other urposes. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from nebraska, mr. smith, and the gentleman from washington, mr. mcdermott, each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from nebraska. mr. smith: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on h.r. 5458, currently under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. smith: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. smith: i rise today in support of h.r. 5458, the veterans tricare choice act of 2016, this legislation introduced by my colleague, ris stute of utah, addresses gaps in the law for tricare coverage peo

bill: yes. florida too close to call. north carolina too close to call. pennsylvania too close to call. hillary clinton or donald trump and the presidential race. michele: wisconsin still considered by national pundits as a key battleground state and it's not being called any time soon. we're following a number of important local races. david ade is in janesville with paul ryan who just accepted victory. bill: also between senator ron johnson and russ feingold. michele: joining us now in studio cbs 58 morning news anchor kate chapel. looking very interesting and taking shape since the last time we took a look, kate. kate: that is correct. 270 the magic number to win. as it stands, donald trump leading electoral votes 137-104. you can see a number of states have been called at this point. you'll see a lot of red on this map early on but, again, none of those major battleground really the election is anyone's game. a couple notable wins for trump so far. by size anyway. texas 38 electoral votes. n

marge, it's me, bill. >> bill! bill. >> please, miss, this is no time for love. >> why didn't you stay undnd the cover like cisco told you? >> i had to come back and see marge, to convince her that i didn't kill her uncle. >> oh, bill, i don't need convincing, you know that. >> bill, get back to your horse, but don't leave until i give you the signal. >> all rigig, cisco. >> and wait for us at the rocks (galloping) >> hey, what's the idea of bumping into me? >> i'm sorry, it was an accident, i just tripped. >> what's the trouble? >> r rn, he just rode off. he must have been hiding in the shack. >> y s >> let's go aftem, boys. what's going on around here? >> looks like someone has loosened the cinches of your saddles. >> i'll say they did. who did it? >> well, i didn't. >> that kind of leaves you two, doesn't it? >> me? not me. maybe the cinches gets so tired being so tight around the horse that they jiggle themselves loose. but if i see you two around, i may still do it. hyah! >> thanks, cisco. and you too, pancho.

you have a bill for $27,000 for water. what kind of bill is that. something happen i don't know about next >> a $27,000 water bill. she trusted she could call the water department and at least get an explanation.>> that i could get one person to work directly with me to see what and see if the water company could resolve it. >> instead he got bounced around.>> to all different types of customer service reps, supervisors. >> for two years. >> so she finally sued in court the water department agreed to settle the case that it's taken a toll. >> my blood pressure went up and it's still up a little bit. it's the way that you treated. >> so just how rudely our customers treated? we found tape recordings revealing employees providing inaccurate billing, hanging up and repeatedly interrupting customers who helped pay more than $3 million a year in salaries for squandering of 94 customer service reps. we found others reading at desk , using cell phones for personal calls, even making inappropriate sexual advances and one customer service representative was

the legacy is why we are here today to discuss bill the writer and specifically bill the observer. before i introduce our participants a related antidote. he is here today into him national review owes so much that will be $10. have a terrific idea let's had them publish a collection we collected them all consulted priscilla buckley who agreed terrific idea. already we approached bill. he couldn't say no fast enough. for a long time after and i remained perplexed the idea was a surefire success why, because we believed then as we believe now and as we see now through this marvelous book james rosen has edited that among among his many talents this one where he were mentored the recent dead for posterity with deep insight and elegant prose would be embraced not only by national review readers but by the public at large. bill was no dope. he knew what we knew. we deduced that he was hoarding his rip's for his own collection and indeed he did sprinkle some in ensuing books including near my god, miles gone by an buckley the buckley the right word. but, there are so many of these gems

my bill would do that. that aside the question, everybody talks about trying to help them pay it, you talk about price. prices come down with competition. president obama has had a war on private colleges. we have many private colleges in kentucky, and they tell me that the war on them is difficult. we are suing them every day, putting new roadblocks. they put roadblocks in the way a private schools but they do not put in the way of private schools. we're closing them straight down. someone in the administration retard and bought one of the universities after they drove the price down to almost nothing, so they are making money off their war on private colleges. we have a lot of private colleges in kentucky. that is part of the answer, having more colleges to drive the prices down. mr. goodman: if you are asked we had a response from you on both of those. steve, for the incumbent, what happened you a compass in the past six years that you would like to come if we elected you, and for you, mayor gray, what c

the bill includes a provision that includes a stand-alone bill to track foreign fighters as they attempt to move. his passed this last year by 4 23-0. it includes a report on the current utilization of our national laboratories win the departments of homeland security communities the can expand. i represent two of these laboratories and i have seen how important their work is to our national security. this bill is a result of both parties and both chambers to prioritize our national security needs. i also just want to echo what i have heard from our chairman and ranking member which is there is nothing more fulfilling especially during since national discord to come to work every day and work with the members on this committee. i think maybe the thought is here the chairman and ranking member are both oakland raiders' fans, but when you go into our committee hearing, republicans and democrats put party aside and put national security first. i also want to say i'm going to miss two members and that is congressman patrick murphy and he and i sat. he showed up every day, worked hard and ask

bill, i, uh, i just want -- i want you to know that i, uh... i want to apologize for doubting your veracity. what's "budacity"? you usually call him a cheater. well -- no, no, no. the kid is actually right. you do call me a cheater. fine. okay. well, all right. fine. fine. okay. bill, i want to apologize for calling you a cheater.

[ muffled ] ...a boob, and a knucklehead. [ telephone ringing ] what? you heard me. no, i didn't. i said i was sorry! i heard that. i think we all heard that. now, if you'd like to apologize for having called me a fan dancer. [ thudding ] [ ringing continues ] bill: this is an apology? george: fan dancer, fan dancer. hello? oh, mrs. wilson. fan dancer, fan dancer, fan dancer. that's davey's mother? uh-huh. i
