. >> in fact, most of the democrats in congress are going to vote against this deal. if it passes, it will only pass with republican votes. it is a very peculiar washington thing right now. and most democratic primary voters, if they have strong views on this are probably on the other side. but, you know, i don't think on the whole that hillary clinton is going to be running against barack obama's record. she was in that administration. she's probably going to put some distance between herself and obama on policies like the tpa where she thinks there's a political problem. but in terms of settling the race this early, just two months ago, people were talking about how much trouble hillary was in. then she has a great debate, and she really did have a great debate and we're close to nominating her. it's still a long process. i agree with josh, hillary is very favored. but those first two primary states are bernie's best shot. and so i think there's probably another round to go before we end it. >> i just want a note about tpp. there's a grand tradition about democrats m

what the administration won't tell you is both republicans and democrats in congress oppose many of theseulations, including the new rules on waters of the united states. senators joe donnelly and joe manchin, all democrats, joined us to change these regulations. yet commonsense changes to this rulemaking are being blocked by the president and liberal democrat leaders in congress. even the courts have dealt the obama administration serious setbacks to its regulatory rampage. but by the time's the courts act, the damage is done. those jobs are gone and , communities suffer. the head of the epa bragged that it didn't matter if the obama administration lost in court. the rules had already been in effect for three years. that's outrageous. meanwhile the fines against andy , johnson continued to pile up and could exceed $16 million. his family can't afford to fight anymore, and just like the johnsons in wyoming, the american people can't afford the overreach and onslaught of new regulations. this fall, republicans will put legislation on the president's desk to rein in runaway regulations. he

mentioned beirut and that was the first thought that occurred to me when this happened is a democratic congress at the time did a fair and quick investigation of what was an unspeakable tragedy, two separate suicide bombings four months apart and there was clearly inadequate security, but the focus there was not on partisanship, not on embarrassing the reagan administration, but on actually figuring out what happened and how we can better protect americans. now, i want to talk and ask questions about what i think is the central issue and that is how do we have that presence in the world that you described in what is an increasingly dangerous world, because as i have traveled to pakistan and afghanistan, yemen and other places, i am consistently amazed by the willingness of our diplomatic corps to put their lives at risk. and i wonder how do you balance that very difficult decision? because frankly, what i've heard more often from the diplomatic corps is that they chafe at the restrictions. i mean, i remember vividly being in peshawar which is -- i didn't like the ride from the airport to the em

also, the top democrat in congress, democratic leader nancy pelosi, has now really called the question on what kevin mccarthy screwed up so badly. nancy pelosi tonight has submitted a letter to the republican leadership in congress saying basically, hey, if you guys are going to use the most powerful tool that congress has, if you're going to use one of these select committees, the longest one ever, to just wage a political partisan war against a democrat presidential candidate, you guys knock yourself out doing that, go for it, but if that's how you're going to use the select committee process can we also please have one of those select committees now to address the plague of mass shootings in this country? maybe you could turn your attention to that as well if you guys aren't too busy spending taxpayer dollars on a multimillion-dollar partisan vendetta against hillary clinton. that proposal today from nancy pelosi for a select committee on gun violence. that was one of several serious and provocative political responses to the mass shooting yesterday in roseburg, oregon. that include
