for you brad people don't always learn their lesson the law was necessary because even department of defense research shows military members are four times as likely to be preyed upon will high interest loans the pentagon can't be thrilled about this over and i'm sure they could have been. if they had been notified about the changes to the act to begin with but even if the bureau sent the pentagon a letter they would have just misplaced it but how was the pentagon going to find a piece of paper when they can't even find twenty one trillion dollars of the ok. thanks. over twenty years who doesn't this place know right now i doubt thomas jefferson would have sent lewis and clark to explore the western u.s. of quark couldn't find his own. quest the pentagon hasn't agreed to changes so they were better off not knowing but the military is better off in this in this proves they're preyed upon every step to their lives as war by recruiters during high school their promised health care they don't get their own after thought when they become homeless vets and their victims. of corporate greed since small vein

we appreciate the efforts of congress to help the department of defense implement these research and development effort. regardless of whether russia returns to compliance has broader implications for the future of arms-control due to the lack of trust created by russia. it's difficult to envision a way forward for the united states and russia to rebuild that trust and achieve a level of trans currency that could lead to a brighter future for arms control to create the conditions for this trust falls on both the united states and russia, but moscow will bear the burden should these efforts fail as russia's actions created the situation we currently find ourselves in. mr. chairman, we appreciate the opportunity to testify the intention of this committee to these issues and we will keep you informed of developments. thank you again and i look forward to your questions. >> thank you both for your opening comments and your service. if the normal trantor ranking member with all of our time projections. >> i just wanted to comment. the question of how we -- was not for jurisdictional purpos

researchers around the world and at the department of defense said they are working on ways to countery have some popular -- some positive uses. voices voices to create for those who have lost theirs. applications that could either be considered good or bad, like the many deep fakes that exist solely to turn as many movies as possible and to nicolas cage movies. vonnie: you can read more about --p fake technology and more you are looking at me, don't look at me. we are the real thing, this is the real thing. our attention to what is happening in germany today. big differences stand in the way turkey'sermany and better relationships. angela merkel and erdogan clashing over an extra data journalist. exerciseif this is an in -- in mending fences, it didn't go well. he basically confirmed that his government sent an extradition request for a journalist living in self-imposed exile in germany, who was going to be at the press conference, accredited for the press conference. the buzz before we showed up was that erdogan threatened to cancel the conference, then this journalist, former editor

families more funding to repair department of defense schools, additional resources to assist victims of military sexual assault, and more support for military medical research. turning to the labor- h.h.s.-education division, i'm pleased that congress has resoundingly rejected president trump's budget and restored $10 billion in proposed cuts that would have hurt working families. instead, we have won increased funding for a number of important priorities. this bill boosts biomedical research at the national institutes of health, expands opioid abuse treatment and prevention programs and launches new initiatives for maternal and child health. the bill increases funding for head start, childcare, and after school programs which working families rely. it lifts the maximum pell grant to help more students access postsecondary education, and it invests in the 21st century work force with more support for registered apprenticeships and career and technical education. finally, this bill stands up to president trump's cruel family separation policy with more transparency and oversight of child and family detention. just importantly, what this bill does not include

calls the most comprehensive clinical and advance research study of concussion and head impact ever undertaken in partnership with the department of defense is part of an ongoing cte study trying to find a way to diagnose people who have it while they're alive instead of only looking at their brains after they have died. right now, that's the only way to diagnose cte. >> you can already start to see it when you see the painful video of rod in 2008 when he wallawas already fully into alzheimer's and saying i don't know what i'm going to do if i can't take care of myself. >> he was three years in at that point. >> it will be interesting to see if in the legal case here the discovery process pulls out things that wouldn't have gotten in the past because there were settlements. so that's why the legal case. >> yes, waiting to see that for sure. >> huge problem for the ncaa, anna, thank you. >>> ahead, a black teenager was pulled over while he was riding in the car with his white grandmother. why the family isn't buying the police explanation for cuffing the teen. >>> subscribe to our podcast available on apple's podcast app or wherever you li

in energy research and security, waterways and infrastructure projects and improving care at the v.a. earlier this month, the senate passed a report that will fund the departments of defense, labor, health and human services and education. >> okay. we've been listening to mitch mcconnell talking about brett kavanaugh accusing democrats of having sat on the information, orchestrating a last minute hit. he said let's put aside this last minute unsubstantiated smear. with me now is stanley potinger. and we were talking about rod rosenstein and then this happened. this is interesting because mitch mcconnell is laying out his view of the matter and then he says let's get back to the facts. the fact is there hasn't been a hearing yet. there have been allegations. there have been people refuting things, people spoken to, but there hasn't been a hearing but he is talking like a guy who knows what the outcome is going to be. >> yeah, i think that what is -- first of all, thirst between this and the rosenstein meeting, the country's gdp will take a hit while everyone watches television. those two stories together, this particular story seems to me depends upon the jump ball that ma

of these other books. however, in my defense i suppose i note that he's on the faculty of columbia university and the department of history. we expect historians to conduct careful research to support their factual findings and he didn't. and i hope he publishes a revised edition and i'll buy it. if you form opinions on a topic based in part on the political persuasion of the author, you are out of luck on this topic. the authors of green coded books stretch across the political spectrum. let's change to a different topic. consider this counter factual. investment in commercial banks had sufficient capital that they did not end up on the rocks. when weak mortgages began to default. available evidence supports the proposition that 10 years ago the g.s.e.'s held or guaranteed a vast stockpile of nontraditional mortgages, perhaps about 76% of all such mortgages. counter factual then is that those holding the other 24% had enough capital to stay afloat. the federal reserve staff puts together briefing documents ahead of every fomc meeting. green book part one covers the outlook and green book part two is a compendium of prevent data. -- recent data. the documents for the mee

that were going on with nasa the defense department and american universities that were doing valuable research and i got to witness firsthand his self-deprecating sense of humor. he, like he did with many members and people who he came into contact with, gave me couble. -- counsel. he said to me, i remember during kid. day he said, hey, if you really want to learn to do this right -- first of all, i like that he's calling me kid. but that you ought to listen carefully. too many people around here dent spend enough time listening. d for me, as so many other members and people both professionally that senator mccain came into contact with, he's a role model. he's a role model on how to conduct ourselves. not only as representatives but also as people that want to solve problems. he clearly, i think, set the bar quite high. on how we develop bipartisan compromises. i gave a speech here last year about what has happened to the art of the political compromise, has it become a lost art. senator mccain had fine tuned his skills, his efforts to reach across the aisle, to figure out ways in which you could bring people together, to find that art of the political

research and report bugs on d.h.s.'s systems without being in violation of the computer fraud and abuse act. in 2016, the department of defense piloted the hack the pentagon, which gave white hat hackers 24 days to find unique vulnerabilities in certain d.o.d. information systems and report them for a reward. the program was so successful d.o.d. established a permanent vulnerability disclosure program to allow ethical hackers to search for and report bugs on d.o.d. information systems without violating the law. the program has enjoyed similar success to hack the pentagon. members of the homeland security committee have been urging d.h.s. to establish a vulnerability disclosure program for several years as a hearing with secretary nelson in april , my colleagues on then cyber security -- my colleague on the cyber security subcommittee, mr. langevin, asked the secretary where the department had in place a mechanism for vulnerabilities to be reported. secretary nelson testified that the department had no clear process in place to accept information about bugs in d.h.s. information systems and agreed to work with the committee to

week our efforts of appropriations hit another milestone and to fund critical efforts and research as infrastructurevi projects including care at the va. and with the department of defense and we anticipate the house will take that up this weekon and with other legislation. and to provide long-term stability and the national transportation safety board. it also takes up the infrastructure to boost the army corps of engineers. land continue to process the glorified nominees to serve as us representative. and to the united nations and all the colleagues to join me to confirm.in now on one s final matter we have welcomed many brave i men and women serving in uniform when they lay down theirf arms as legislators to know the true meaning of service and sacrifice. so they even decided to pull double duty while suffering the slings and arrows here in the senate we have a unique opportunity earlier this month our friends the senator from alaskaps from the us marine corps reserve i spent the last quarter-century as a marine to serve on active duty. those who serve here with senator sullivan are squared away today his promotion is recognized as a special ceremony here in the capi
