members to this committee and onto about -- delighted that my good friend and colleague senator claire mccaskill of missouri will service the committee's ranking member. senator bill nelson, the former committee chairman, has also chosen to remain a member of this committee and he will continue to share his expertise with us. throughout its history, the aging committee has spurred congress to take action on issues important to older americans through our hearings, investigations and reports. and it has done so in a bipartisan manner. i will continue that fine tradition working closely with senator mccaskill and all of our members. this year the committee will focus on three major issues, retirement security, biomedical research investment for diseases like alzheimer's and diabetes that disproportionately affect our seniors and financial schemes and other scams targeting older americans. today we will examine financial exploitation that harms far too many of our nation's most vulnerable seniors. this committee has brought to light many schemes that have defrauded seniors out of their hard-earned

and claire mccaskill, i don't like her politics, but she's a good politician. i would look at what claire mccaskill is doing or how voters voted last november to see if this is a strong issue for republicans. instead of sitting back and whining about how the media is unfair, how about taking to the air waves? how about telling americans that it is democrats who are refusing to fund the department of homeland security unless it also includes funding to produce work permits for illegal aliens to give every illegal alien $25,000 in welfare payments they weren't able to receive as long as they were able, to give social security cards to illegal aliens. it is one thing for obama to say we are not going to waste a lot of resources hounding these people out of the country. it's another thing for them to be printing work permits and sending them checks from the u.s. treasury. but again at least mcconnell will get good press from "new york times." i wouldn't say much from the republican party though. >> i agree with you. ann coulter, thank you so much. when we come back

. >>> last, clair mccaskill said this about the president's actions on immigrationsh senator mccaskey joins me now if you were to get a freestanding vote would you vote for a countermand? >> it's not that i would vote for countermand. i would rather debate and vote by congress doing its job, chris. we need to debate immigration reform. we hammered out a bill that wasn't perfect, but it was exactly what we do in a democracy. we had a lot of republican support for the by. we sent it to the house almost two years ago, and they never took it up to debate it. we've got to decide whether our job is to play political football with the president, or whether our job is to legislate fixing a broken system. that's what we should be focused on. >> well, the republicans in the senate, your colleagues up there seem to want to do anything they can to eliminate what obama, the president, did last fall. you see there's going to be a vote, does it look like the majority leader will have his way? >> first what will will have to happen is they'll have to fund the department of homeland security. we had n

thank you, senator clair mccaskill. >> thanks chris. >>> one of the -- mark warner of virginia has gone on record criticizing the president's executive actions on illegal immigration. last fall he told reports, the best way to get a comprehensive solution is to take this through the lettive process. heifer joins you now from capitol hill. it looks to me like mesh mcconnell has been very much the wily fox here. by saying he's not going to hold up funding for homeland security at this time of theories and worries coming at us. at the same times he's making folks deal with the issue of the way the president handled the issue of illegal immigration last fall. >> chris, let's take them one at a time. the fact is it would be crazy to cut off funding to homeland security? we have 17,000 dhs employees in virginia alone, the idea of al shabaab putting out videos threatening malls, this is not the time to stop funding homeland security. 9 numbers had already been agreed on this is simply an add-on by the republicans. at the end of the day, whether this plan that the majority leader has put forwar

missouri senator claire mccaskill put these photos on instagram. the three spoke to reporters and have been out this morning. eric holder is scheduled to beget the national press club today. he's likely to get questions about the judicial order that was offered by the texas judge last night. we are planning life coverage beginning at 1:00 p.m. eastern here on c-span. this week, c-span presents three nights of text. -- of tech. journalists interview some of the leading up to the numerous come innovators in silicon valley. here are remarks from the ceo of uber. >> the idea is, you push a button, car comes and picks you up just like normal. while you were on your way to our destination, someone else is going a long the same route at the same time. with two minutes or less deviation from your route, you go and pick somebody up along the way. they get in the same car as you, that is correct. >> sounds a lot like a bus so far. >> understood. a bus is you go to a corner that is half a mile away from you and you wait 15 minutes and sometimes it is on time

i want to read a tweet from senator claire mccaskill out of missouri. tweeted, let's pass funding for homeland security today to show unity against terrorists then we can bring up -- then the r's, republicans, can bring up immigration for a vote immediately after. all this shows is that the fight is still going on and it's still not clear what's going to happen carol. >> see, i thought this wasn't supposed to happen because what we're talking about with this partial shutdown it's going to affect the tsa, right? border patrol, right? secret service? why haven't they worked on this before? >> they'll still be at work. >> they will still be at work but they won't be paid. that's easy for a bunch of millionaires to talk about who are sitting on capitol hill and not so easy to talk about when you're a tsa agent making $30,000 a year. >> exactly. a lot of people cannot survive or cannot afford to miss a paycheck or two. people need their paychecks and our latest cnn poll shows that 53% of the american public would place the blame on the republican party if th

think this is interesting among democrats who are problem ising to override president's veto, claire mccaskillsenator from missouri. no matter how much you look research is done. oil is coming out of the ground. pipelines are better than barges or trains. that is common sense. i will vote to overright the veto. interesting they're not just doing it for political posturings, they have reasons for why they believe the way they do. >> yeah. it is much safer stacy to transport the oil this way than on trains or by boat which is what we're doing now. do you think republicans continue to pass this legislation and point out that the president's an obstructionist against energy independence? >> not only that. national security issue. this is our chance to become independent with our, our, i'm sorry, our energy. you know we don't have to go to the middle east. i don't understand why we're not doing this. this is such a great opportunity on some fronts. he is just these are his extremist theories, that he is putting before the needs of the american people. >> especially with unrest in the middle east, k

. >> and the dynamics seem to be very much two way, when i watch senator claire mccaskill go down thereng to charm that island into buying everything missouri makes. it's all about agriculture, but there's already an agricultural opening to cuba. so when you see nancy pelosi, i don't see someone who needs to be sold on opening up our relations with cuba. she's already there. those democrats are going down there are already there. they do have some republican counterparts. but how will this line up politically in the house and senate? >> well, you've got to remember there is a cuban-american contingent in the u.s. congress. there are eight of them. the three senators, the only three -- >> marco rubio, bon menendez -- >> and ted cruz. and they are not on board with this. then five cuban-americans in the house and they're not on board. so they can create some mischief here. the big thing is human rights. the criticism of the obama deal is the u.s. didn't get anything for this. what i would argue is, they got rid of a big headache. they had a 50-year history. >> what did the obama administr

senator claire mccaskill is now saying what we've heard a lot of republicans expression which is a desire for congress inned stead of the fcc to take the reins on writing these new rules for the internet. jenna? jenna: peter, thank you. jon: a major winter storm blasting the deep south with heavy snow, dangerous ice and fridge grid temperatures. frigid temperatures. how areas not used to this kind of nasty weather are responding. >>> plus, three new york city men arrested in a plot to join isis and kill the president. how that terror bust went down. >>> and new information just revealed from treasure-trove of documents discovered in bin laden's hideout in pakistan. the chilling plans al-qaedaed had for the white house and the --al tide had for the -- al-qaeda had for the white house and the statue of liberty. we'll go in depth next. meet the world's newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas.

joe mansion, john tester, claire mccaskill. where are they? not one democrat voted to repeal in the house. is that the way it is going to be in the senate? >> i think it will be. when it comes to full repeal i don't think you're going to find democrats going for that. where they might vote against obamacare is on pieces of it. for instances, the medical device tax which is part of obamacare. if that can get separated out -- it is unpopular. it is a tax. the manufacturers of these devices don't like it. maybe that could get some democratic votes. some people are saying that al franken and elizabeth warren who are from states who are big manufacturers of these devices saying they would go along with the critics of obamacare with that, they will not unless there is some other way to make up the revenue, which there is not. there basically is not alternative on the table right now to obamacare. i don't think there will be until june if the supreme court rules it unconstitutional. then you're going to see all kinds of alternatives from republicans

it's been said by martin heym rick by claire mccaskill it appears republicans in the senate are more grade of the dreamers than you are of isis. well, mr. president i know that the chairman of the subcommittee on homeland as it relates to -- [inaudible] came to the floor yesterday and talked about regular order. i say to my friend that regular order in the senate has a number of different connotations. one of them is clear so clear and that's why john mccain spoke out, jeff flake, jim inhofe and others spoke out. because in the senate we need to fund our different subcommittees and appropriations. we've done that except homeland security. we have these terrorist acts all over the world taking place right now. we saw it in canada, we saw it in australia, all over the european community, in paris, in -- all over there. we have had so many frightening things happen, and we, the united states of america are in a position where we're not going to fund homeland security because of blanca gamez? mr. president we would love to debate immigration. we've done it here on senate floor before. it

members of congress led by senator cory booker and co-sponsored by senators claire mccaskill, ed markeyh seeks to remove state barriers for constructing municipal broadband networks. it is unfortunate however that this issue has become a partisan one as of late because it was not always that way. indeed in 2005, an effort by senators john mccain, lindsey graham norm coleman, john kerry, russ feingold and the late frankxd lautenberg sought to block states from restricting local governments abilitylz to provide internet service through the community broadband act of 2005. when the bill was reintroduced in 2007, senators-the late senator ted stevens, olympia snowe and gordon smith co-joined as co-sponsors. across the hall, a house version of the bill, co-sponsored by representatives fred upton and rick [zmu(rq) made it not quite, but it was y but what is strikinga5 s that the language in all of these bills is nearly identical. the only thing that has changed is the lack of bipartisan support. so i am hopeful that in this time in time,v unite across party lines to endorse measures that will

that's what claire mccaskill of missouri said. this is not the way to do it.d i disagree with the president's action there. and somehow the question suggests it's not fair to make democratic senators vote on the very policy that they've said they disagree with. >> let me -- >> i just find that a very interesting suggestion. >> well quick follow-up here. the republicans have been in charge of the chamber just a few weeks. why not show that you can govern without having even talk of these showdowns that people hear all the time as you mentioned in bringing this up. just try to govern and not create all this drama and take out the contentious part and do it separately. >> voters gave the republicans the majority of the united states senate for the first time in eight years last november and the question suggests that our response to that should be to do exactly as the democrats have suggested. i just think that's an interesting -- that would be an interesting approach to win the election and then do exactly what the democrats want. we have a process. democrats ne
