i would like to thank senator boozman and widen for their work in passing this bill. the importance of this bill is that the united states preventive health service indicates mammography at an annual level after age 40, and our veterans who have risked their lives and health in service to our country are exposed to toxins and burn pits and need treatment and screening to prevent long-term health issues and at an earlier time period. female veterans are especially at risk for several types of cancer, especially breast cancer. female veterans are at a 20% to 40% higher risk of breast cancer and female veterans who have been exposed to toxic exposure are at even higher risk. as a doctor, i understand just how life saving early mammogram screenings can be. i have always told my patients that early detection is the key to successfully treating all types of cancer. this bill would allow for an earlier mammography screening for female veterans who were served in locations to toxic exposure. this bill is in honor of a doctor and marine corps veteran, kate hendricks thomas, wh

well, boozman right now has a as a comfortable lead. t i'm just looking at this shot r at 39%. so he looks right now looks to be the winner right there. we won't make it official just yet for a while. but we'll all likelihood go on to represent arkansas in that in that race on the senate side come november. this is what i'm curious about because this was just call for sarah huckabee. sanders really wasn't a lot of doubts, wasn't a ton of competition for her and she's the easy winner tonight in arkansas and will go on to see if she can turn the trick in in november in well, i think i had a big part to play in that bill .i yeah, i endorse sarah huckabee very early on .le i think i played a big role. i give it to you. yeah.. get i get the blame, right. okay, i get the blame. i get i don't get the credit. we got to let you run the bill hemmer at the hannity big board sorry at the hammer big board anyway bill , this is terrible news that just broke. we just got word that bill maloja reporting he got it back to us that we have been reporting all night 18 children were killed in texas

senator john boozman is up for re-election.quett e is challenging the senator for the seat. jake, you are way behind on this race. do you think you can win without president trump support? >> absolutely. no one respects president trump more than me, but all his endorsements you just listed still has senator bozeman in the 40s. arkansas is a runoff state. anyone has to get a majority of 50% plus one, and that's why senator and his allies spent $10 million running attack ads trying to stop me because if this race goes to a runoff, i'm going to win, the people of arkansas are rally ing around my campaign. they know i'm the real conservative the true america- first patriot in this race and we're seeing enthusiasm all over country for these real conservative warriors. it's not good enough just to go to d.c. and spend 20 years in the d.c. witness protection program. you've got to lead from the front and stand up and fight on the issues that matter, and that's what i'll do in the u.s. senate. stuart: did you ask for support from presi

and so i want to thank again senator boozman, welcome all of our members on both sides of the aisle to join us in what i hope will be legislation that moves very, very quickly, the access to baby formula act is something that every single member of the united states senate should be supporting so that we can move this legislation out as quickly as possible working with the house and get this done. thank you, mr. president. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the nomination. the clerk: nomination, the judiciary. jennifer luis rochon of new york to be united states district judge for the southern district of new york. the presiding officer: unthe previous time, the postcloture time is expired. the question is on the nomination. ms. stabenow: i ask for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the clerk will call the roll. vote: vote: vote: vote: vote: the presiding officer: the yeas are 51, the nays 47. the nomination is confirmed. under the previous order, the motion to reconsider is considered made and laid upon the table, and
