coons coons: mr. president,k unanimous consent to enter into a colloquy with the senators from minnesota and connecticut. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. coons: mr. president, in the months since world powers reached an agreement to block iran's pathway to building a nuclear weapon, iran's behavior has given the international community reasons for both some optimism and continuing serious concern. the positive news has been that iran has taken some real steps to restrain its nuclear program. it's disabled two of its short-term pathways to producing weapons-grade material by shipping nearly its entire stockpile of enriched uranium out of the country and by filling its plutonium reactor with concrete. iran has reduced its number of functioning uranium enrichment centrifuges by two-thirds and the country has provided international inspectors 24/7 access to continuously monitor all of iran's declared nuclear facilities. these are positive developments. yet at the same time, iran continues to

coons: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from delaware. mr. coons: mr. president, i'm coming to the floor to address the question of the ongoing vacancy on the united states supreme court. and i've listened with great interest to the remarks of my friend and colleague from the state of missouri and we i think have reached different conclusions about how and when the american people should have their say in the question of the filling of this vacancy. in my view, vacancies on the supreme court of the united states have consequences and vacancies that go on for a great length of time have even bigger consequences. i don't believe there's been a vacancy that's lasted a year since roughly the time of the civil war. and although we don't know this today, we don't know how long this vacancy may last, my concern is that in the absence of a willingness to meet with the president's nominee, to hold hearings and to proceed to a vote, should that position remain firm on the part of my colleagues on the other side, we're likely looking at a yearlong vacancy. i certa

coons: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from delaware. mr. coons: mr. president, i'd like to begin my remarks today by thanking my colleague, my good friend, the leader in this effort to pass the senate today, the defend trade secrets act the president pro tempore of the senate, senator orrin hatch. in his four decades of service in this body, senator hatch has become well known for his ability and willingness to work across the aisle to be a genuine leader in intellectual property matters and to fight tirelessly for america's inventors and inventions, and i'm grateful for the small role that i have been able to play in partnering with senator hatch to bring forward, to bring through the judiciary committee, to bring to the floor today this important piece of legislation. mr. president, our country has long been the unquestioned world leader in the creation and production of innovative ideas. simply put, for over two centuries, we have understood the critical connection between preserving intellectual property rights and creating sustained economic gro

they think i get called untell tom, couldn't -- uncle tom, coon. you're working for the man. i don't get paid -- none of my activism is paid. got paid to write the book but it's a mod test sum of money, and i think the reason why, though, is because we do see, i would say, my party, use a lot of black conservatives to their advantage and use them as puppets. i think at a certain point there were times when ben carson when he was appearing on a certain conservative network before he ran for apparatus, was saying things that weren't authentic to dr. carson when he spoke at the president's prayer breakfast. what happens is i think black americans have a right too distrust some black conservatives, because the ones that you see sometimes propped up through conservative media outlets somehow lose their identity and they're not -- they're no longer authentic in their voice. would say to black americans, however, there are many conservatives like me who i tell it like it is, i'm able to be introspective about my own party, when my party says student things like donald trump ahead st

two years ago, senator coons and i set out to fix this problem together. from the very beginning, we sought to input business owners and job creators so we could better understand the obstacles facing american industry and chart a path forward for reform. the defend trade secrets act is the culmination of our work. under current law, companies have few legal options to recover their losses when trade secrets are stolen. for example, if a disgruntled employee steals a utah company's confidential information and leaks it to a competitor in another state, attorneys must navigate a complex labyrinth of state laws just to bring suit. this cumbersome process can take weeks, which is an eternity in a trade secrets case. during this time, the likelihood that valuable intellectual property falls into the wrong hands increases every day, as does the potential for permanent damage to the company. our bill solves this problem by creating a uniform federal law that businesses can turn to when their trade secrets are stolen. this federal standard keeps companies from ge

a day after police say she was caught on surveillance cameras in a building in coon city. that's where the woman is accused of attacking 103-year- old louise signore. she pushed her to the ground and took off with her groceries and cash. signore is recovering from her attack, and says it will not stop her from going about her daily routine. >> what would i say to her? >> what could i say? are you desperate? she must be desperate to get a 103-year-old woman to bother. would i forgive her? yeah, i would. i would. what's the sense. >> wow. she is a strong woman. >> strong woman. >> signore says she's hoping to get back everything that was taken from her, including the bingo card that were in her shopping cart. mcneal meantime is charged with assault and robbery. >>> we are seeing video of an nypd officer who says he was sleep walking when he allegedly attacked a woman in her apartment. the new york post obtained this leaving a building in the bronx moments after this attack in 2014. he runs out to the street, then tries to get back inside, but is locked out. prosecutors say h

sanders and clint reason coon a completing for wisconsin.etting nervous. take a listen. >> so don't tell her this, i think we win here we win in new york state, we're on our way to the white house. >> so joining me now, van jones, political commentator, and clay aiken, former congressional candidate, now a bernie sanders supporter. clay, i want to go to you first to get reaction to something van said yesterday, he said there's a civil war among democrats. do you agree? >> i don't know if i would call it -- i think civil war might be a little bit of an exaggeration. it's politics. people in political races are going to start throwing things at each other, i think that's natural. in '08, we were in the same position, people voting for hillary clinton were saying they would never vote for barack obama if he got the nomination. at the end, we saw that wasn't the case. i think regardless of who the nominee is and, yes, i voted for bernie sanders, but if hillary clinton becomes a nominee as a democrat, i'm going to rally behind her. if you look at

and the last book i dedicated to my main coon cat whose name is atticus at a more loose-- moose.otherwise known as the great keyboard sitter. >> brian, i have to ask one question. since you have written between 40 and 50 books as i understand it. tell us how you did this. how can you write that fast-- that much a lifetime? >> 40 years of undetected crime. [laughter] >> and these books are researched. it's not like writing your life story or something. >> it all started in africa, where i was working the museum at the time of independence and we were asked a question, you got all this history and archaeology, how we put it and i got about the writer that. men, i almost gave up archaeology because i got very bored by it and was a very good excavator. they told me to write for the public. when i came to santa barbara i was appalled to find no decent tasks books, so that's why started. i wrote textbooks. then, i got into other stuff and i have become one of the very few people and archaeology who write for the general public as a full-time job and it's become a full-time job. i have

yesterday i had a wonderful meeting with senators baldwin and senator coons with inspirational city council woman in istanbul, who is here. she founded the istanbul pride parade in 2003 and there were 30 marchers. by 2014 there were over 80,000 marchers and last year the turkish government used water cannons to shut the march down and disburst every after it had grown so large. she was here to talk about ways in which the united states could be helpful and when the senator asked her, tell us how we could help human rights in turkey, this was her answer. and i wanted all of to you hear this because it is about your colleague. she said the help that we've had that has enabled us to do what we have done is the united states. the support of the u.s. ambassador and the council in istanbul has enabled the lgbt community in turkey to not avoid persecution and hostility, as my story about the pride parade being disbursed suggested but they have been able to finally come out of the shadows to some degree and organize and she said there had been no greater friend. so when we asked what we could do to

he needed him to himt steal more of those delegateselg away so that he could have aoule more likely coonset to thatett couldn't testified convention.dc right now, it's funny when in watch those two speeches lastecs fright from donald trump andromd hillary clinton, giving thosegho victory speeches in new york, is thought to myself, are these our two candidates? it seems muchec more likely after new york'ss victory and let's take look howl new york responded to it.o we've got the cover of the new o york post.york p now torque keep in mine, new m york post they did endorse donald trump. so sort of funny thinking don donald trump towers empires eir primary and i love this it says, hillary -- talks about basically how she survived bernie sanderss because, you know, even though she won that fair and square hee did make her probably feelblee little bit nervous.it nervous >> all right.ll r it will be interesting to see it looks like at least on the republican side everybody who'so not the frontrunner just tryingg to do whatever they can to delay things till they can get to thet convention.nventi.
