dr. warren: i believe that. sen.aines: what do you view of the importance of charitable donations to efforts to fight poverty, to fight aids and global health issues in the u.s. and overseas? dr. warren: well, as a pastor of course i'm interested in people's personal growth and growth in character. if you tax me and then use that money to help the poor, i don't get any credit for it. if you incentivize my generosity and then i am generous, i actually grow in character by being generous. i'm obviously in favor of the government funding and increasing funding for these kind of things. i think there are a lot of things we could cut and this should be expanded. i believe 150 line item really does need to be expanded. it's so miniscule, we get more bang for the buck. but i believe at the same time -- this is probably not the committee for it -- we ought to incentivize generosity. the tax code should reward generosity rather than cap. of course americans are the most generous nations there is weep could be even more genero

dr. warren a minister who is trying to talk this man down. >> that's all we want. >> reporter: dr. warren this is one of the men who led this today's protest and is trying to talk the man away from the police. right now this gentleman is having none of it but backing off a little. >> all right. all most 20 minutes into the mandatory curfew tonight in baltimore maryland and you're witnessing some of the citizens upset feeling like their voices aren't being heard and they're yelling at police and you have community leaders and that's what you're looking at on the left of your screen and community leaders trying to get them to comply with this curfew and it appears to be a bit more of a struggle than it was last night. of course the first night people stayed out longer than curfew but only 10 people were arrested on that night. i want to get to cnn's chris cuomo also out in the crowd. are you witnessing any similar situation where you're standing? >> reporter: yeah, we're actually behind them. and the commissioner is literally on the left and he's calling the shots from back here and h

dr. rick warren. to you to each of you, thank you for coming. you have busy schedules and you made time to talk about causes near and dear to your heart. i will make an opening sent -- statement. thank you for coming. senator lee, it has been a pleasure working with you. as politics change in this country, we are going to make sure that the commitment to this does not change. at the end of the day, i've tried along with senator lee to shine a light on what the 150 count does. it is 1% of our budget and here is what i would suggest. find an account that gives a better rate of return than the 150. 1% of the budget is it -- that includes all the funding for the state department and our aid to israel and other nations. a small portion of that goes to fighting tuberculosis and aids and other diseases. what i want the american people to know, is an i have never seen a better return on investment. the private sector and other organizations of other governments have been collaborating for well over a decade to take the fight to aids and we are winning a

dr. warren, i want to thank you for joining us today. >> thank you, becky, it is great to be here. >> you have been doing this a long time, what is the answer. do opposites attract? or are people likely to stay together if they have more in common together. >> opposites do attract, but overtime, they attract and then they attack. >> that's why you have a very specific set up where you ask people to fill out a long profile about what kinds of questions are you asking them? >> every kind that you can think of. i was a psychologist for 40 years, and we -- i presided over the funerals, the deaths, of so many marriages. and came to the conclusion that if you don't do a good job on the front end, if you don't marry the right person, you have real problems ahead. it is tough to bend people after they first get married. so we ask every question we can think to ask, and then we match them so carefully on 29 dimensions. we call it broad based compatibility. >> what are some of the types of questions that you ask, and a couple of the most important categories when it comes to matching people up. >>

dr. warren a question and in your testimony, you call religious liberty america's first freedom. i think you even made opening remarks thanking the panel for the protections, fieging for that, the first phrase of the first sentence in the bill of rights, our founding fathers cared a great deal and the country's fight for independence. in your view what's the state of religious liberty in the country today, and are we doing enough to protect it? >> as i pointed out in the written testimony, religious liberty is what america was founded on. it's the first freedom. that's not by accident. it's the first freedom the first phrase of the first sentence of the first paragraph of the first amendment. it comes before freedom of speech, before freedom of the press, before freedom to assemble, before the right to bear arms, before every other freedom because if i do not have the freedom of conscious to believe what i want to believe i don't need freedom of speech. if i don't have to freedom to believe what i want to believe, i don't have the freedom to assemble. if i cannot practice believe

dr. warren. >> chairman graham and ranking member leahy members subcommittee. thank you for inviting me here today. i have so much respect and admiration for all of you. i agree that the 150 account is probably the most effective account in the united states budget. what you're doing matters to our nation, it matters to the world. actually it is a matter of life and death to millions of people around the world. i'm not just pastor of saddleback church. i'm founder of a global peace plan that sent teams to 197 countries. i sent in my own church, 24,869 of my members served in 197 quint at thises, which is 57 more countries than the peace corps served. by the way before i address the matter of global health, i want to thank you about previous hearing protecting religious liberty abroad. that is a big issue and spoke about that in my printed remarks. as you know from your hearings previously we're making a lot of progress on pandemics like hiv, malaria and tb while the momentum is he had haded in the right direction now is the time to move for eradication. a lot o

dr. warren. we can do this effectively if the of vision of the end of aids will be achieved.you. >> i prefer to call you curdle to make sure everybody knows about your service to the united states medical corps. i told you a story of how we took the initiative in 1986 and i will say the senator is not here i think he was in the leadership but the story is as a staffer i went to congressman starting a $25 million earmarked as it was called because the first diagnostic kit was provided from abbott laboratories said is from illinois. [laughter] we got results that they said they had is the role positive rate that was very high the epidemic was going up 50 years we got a very brave to go see and he said i will be damned if i start of foreign aid accounts with the earmarked but then he changed his mind to his eternal credit. but icu are the successor to my great partner dr. mann who unfortunately we lost in the swiss air crash with his wife. he said the two halves of multilateral program but pepfar started with bilateral routes and because of those it does not work massively enoug

dr. robin warren has been working in this community for quite some time.elt some of the passion this afternoon. obviously people are in a celebratory mood. >> absolutely. people feel hopeless. when you look at the conditions -- y'all have been covering the conditions in that area. it's just hopeless. with this indictment coming down i guess i can call it an indictment, people feel a dplim glimmer of hope. but they still don't trust the system. >> as we've been standing here we've seen people celebrating and smiling. how do you feel? are you worried about what the outcome could be later on? >> absolutely. because we understand the law and know there's a process. the prosecutor filled an obligation obligation i feel, to do what she did because the people were ready to riot again. they just feel like there's no justice. no justice, no peace. >> thank you so much. i can honestly tell you, brooke a lot of people have been talking about the idea that they were happy to watch developments today, but there's a lot of people in this community who are also saying, h

dr. collins, to follow up on what senator warren was saying, i'm interested in what you've been able to document by way of consequences. for failures toed adequately fund our scientific and medical research. it strikes me that you can tell me there's a return on investment from the research that we do and if we don't fund the research, we lose that return on investment. it strikes me, also, that you have examples of human benefits from scientific research if fore gone become human costs, and you pay attention to the country's global competitiveness in this field so if you can comment in the three areas on what you think is the payback for investment in scientific research, or contrarily the cost of not funding scientific research? >> well i very much appreciate the opportunity to talk about some of those consequences. just put up another graph which, in many ways reveals the difficulties that are present in this country beginning back in 2003. i'm showing you the opportunity that an investigator who comes to nicsh with the best ideas gets funded. most research done in the country with the nation

and in due course, if she combines forces with bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, her husband, and dr.stein, i don't think questions are necessary especially if she supports our current president with the new fast-track notwithstanding. i'm completely against the new fast-track, but if everybody is honest with themselves, nobody agrees with everybody about everything. host: ok, gregory, on this issue of the e-mails folks are saying that they want to know who she was e-mailing with and who was e-mailing her. one person that has come up is sid blumenthal. "the wall street journal" editorial board writes about that this morning. "'the new york times' reported on e-mail records showing that he was on the payroll of the clinton foundation at the same time he was being paid by groups helping mrs. clinton presidential run, at the same time he was advising a u.s. business seeking libyan contracts, the same time he was secretly advising clinton about libya. the news raises questions about whether mr. blumenthal's work with mrs. clinton at state in anyway benefited his private dealings, or how a

warren that he was against gay marriage. >> well, he's no longer. >> he changed. last word. >> sean? >> dr.o couple this with what hillary clinton said his would-be successor a few weeks ago when she said we need to change our deeply held religious beliefs to accommodate abortion. that is why this 2016 election is so pivotal. it will determine the spiritual and moral direction of our country and people of faith need to rise up and vote not republican or democrat convictions, but biblical convictions. >> all right, guys. thank you -- >> sean? >> reverend, real quick. >> the gospel billy graham and dr. king righteousness and justice, caring for the poor and not letting the world corrupt us. >>> residents in california are taking drastic measures to reduce their water use as the state faces a historic drought. many stopped watering their lawns to conserve water. hollywood hypocritical celebrities are not doing the same. we'll expose who they are when we come back right after the break. the #1 prescribed acid-blocking brand, and get all day, all night protection. nexium level protection. introd

senator warren: this could be a big step forward for therapies for any number of conditions. it is a great idea. we should've started years ago. dr. collins, you advocated for a national genetic study to examine how people's genes and environment contribute to diseases over a decade ago. is that right? dr. collins: exactly right, it landed with the -- at that point. that is the article on the screen that a published in 2004. in retrospect, this was probably ahead of its time, because we did not have the technology at the point where this could have been affordable or practical but it is now. senator warren: if we had only started pushing back then -- over the past decade, funding has not helped deal with inflation, so we are years behind in doing this work. if we are serious about speeding up biomedical innovation, improving health, reducing long-term costs, we start by investing in an ih. the house has a proposal called point for century cures that is supposed to accelerate biomedical innovation and when it was first released by the republicans a few months ago, it did not include a single dime of new nih funding for congress. l

warren commission and in the house commission. same thing here. four people were sentenced to be hanged. mary surratt, george powell david harold, and -- david herold, and atzerodt. . drescapes hanging. the hanging took place in the navy yard. i believe it was the first execution in the united states that was photographed. here they are actually hanging. it is a terribly hot day and mary surratt was allowed to have a priest and someone held an umbrella over her beforehand. mary surratt -- robert redford made a very interesting movie called the conspirator, which is worth watching again if you're interested, which portrays are quite fondly. it is hard to know. she owned the boarding house. people living in her house were involved. did she know? i think it's hard to say she did not know. she certainly was sympathetic to them. did she deserved to die? i don't know. it did not help that she was catholic. there was a of anti-catholic sentiment at the time. her former border lewis weichmann did her in. she is the one that -- he is the one that said mary surratt went with the weapons to the tavern on the day of the assassination. he was the one that said when she heard about

warren and murphy are next. senator franken. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you to the ranking member for holding this hearing. precision medicine is extremely exciting. those of us in minnesota thank you, dr. collins. because mayo and the university of minnesota have been doing genomics project that funded by you. very smart on your part. this is exciting because this's really been a paradigm shift in the way we think of health care in this country in some part due to the health care reform law, health care providers and insurers are moving more toward person centered care. i'm talking about coordinated care medical homes, acos provide incentives and information that help doctors taylor their practice their treatments, their therapies to meet the needs of individual patients. and that's of course what precision medicine is all about making sure the right patients get the right treatment. and the right treatment doesn't as wu were saying, dr. collins, doesn't necessarily mean -- it isn't treating people when they're sick. it's about health care not sick care. and using personalized medicine should improve prevention and so we are doing health care and not sick care. dr. desalvo, i do want
