journalist, marie holden. lindsay, coming to a little bit her before we start the discussion. she is -- lindsay is british and started life as an aid in america. through journalism and i remember coming across this because of her reporting from the genocide in 1994. i think you are one of the few english-language reporters there are very beginning lindsay had a very strong career in africa before she moved. she is not the international news. she has covered most of the big stories in the last 15 to 20 years. including the conflict in the middle east. she even as and china for several years. the reason that is this book gives you an incredibly detailed and very sympathetic but at the same time, not a biography of a very famous journalist that shows the wonderful achievements of marie as a reporter in "the storyteller" but also cost. she paid in her personal life for the work that she did. we are very lucky to have with us two of marie's childhood and high school friends. and from, marie grew up as some of you may know, on long island, went to school there and started her career

walker and he will have to face the public in an election that will come up at the same town where holden a presidential primary. what the republicans did was propose moving the election for the state supreme court off the date of the presidential primary so they would hold to elections at enormous expense with potentially overlapping boating. -- overlapping voting. was so much news about this and so much protest that it never made it out of the joint finance committee. that dodoesn't mean it won't coe up again on the floor. it is starting to get light outside, so maybe they won't try to include that in the package now. i think what that shows, first of all, they were willing to spend $7 million over the objections of nearly every single local election official in the state to separate these elections for no reason except to protect a republican justice from facing a high tururnout electorate. i think what it really shows is public pressure and really bad national headlines shamed the republicans into ramping that back. what we're seeing now -- they have been readjusting these bills as th

because the chairman was willing to take the time to do what he has done over the years, and bill holden mentioned that his history with senator kennedy and at one point i told him, mr. chairman, i am not ted kennedy, but i'm sure interested in trying to build coalitions with you. and the chairman said, that's what i want to do. so we are off to the races, and it all kind of started really with an awareness that both democrats and republicans had missed what medicare has become. medicare in 1965, i was the director of the gray panthers in the 70s, i had a full head of hair and rugged good looks. medicare part a and part b. a for the hospitals, b for the doctors, and as the chairman and i talked, that is not medicare today. today, most of the money goes for cancer and diabetes and heart disease and stroke, chronic pulmonary disease. medicare circa 2018, is hugely different than medicare from 1965 . and the chairman said, we can build on that. we can go now and try to build a bipartisan coalition. and without that decision by the chairman, we would have kind of kept treading water on medic

registration requirement actually if you are essentially taking orders from foreign governments and the holden to them. >> nonprofit have been given millions from wealthy benefactors produce a correct? >> yes. set so while there's nothing wrong with someone giving their money to an organist they should there is a problem in the federal government doles up nights of dollars in grants to these organizations. for instance the national immigration law center received hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants from the federal government and over 1 million from the open society foundation while working against u.s. interests. does it make sense to dole out taxpayer funds to groups that not only look to it that are against official -- mr. fitton? >> i think it's controversial and would also be controversial is the source operation is going to spend about $1 billion this year. as you point out mostly of his own money. he subsidized u.s. tax dollars and it's a controversial year in terms of policy outlooks. >> one last comment mr. chairman i actually was part of a nonprofit and you raise how much of y

bipartisanship breaks out but how fascinating that you've had the kochs on the right being for this, mark holdenstration to make sure a day like this came. why is this an idea whose time has come from people on the right and left? >> i think it approaches from different reasons. people on the left want to see justice, criminal justice reform, want to see people that have been sentenced to an inordinate amount of times for minor crimes like marijuana possession or something to not have to do those crime. people on the right is looking at the cost. if we look at how much we spend incarcerating people more than any country in the world, they're saying we cannot continue to pay for this. it doesn't matter how you get there as you and i, joe, as older baptists say it doesn't matter how we get them to come down the aisle, as long as we convert them, we've done our job. >> let's talk about what will happen here, what the hoped outcome is and what are the real changes we'll see, especially as it pertains to sense tetencing. >> i believe we'll have a bipartisan bill. there are outliers, senator cotton an
