welfare reform. but there is more to be done. this spring i will send you a comprehensive welfare reform bill that builds on the family support act of 1988 and restores the basic values of work and responsibility. we'll say to teenagers, "if you have a child out of wedlock, we will no longer give you a check to set up a separate household. we want families to stay together;" say to absent parents who aren't paying their child support, "if you're not providing for your children, we'll garnish your wages, suspend your license, track you across state lines, and if necessary, make some of you work off what you owe." people who bring children into this world cannot and must not walk away from them. but to all those who depend on welfare, we should offer ultimately a simple compact. we'll provide the support, the job training, the child care you need for up to two years. but after that, anyone who can work, must, in the private sector wherever possible, in community service, if necessary. that's the only way we'll ever make welfare what it ought to

i don't think they're going to be using reconciliation. get democratico by an on it welfare reform entitlement package? i don't think so. this is something some republicans want to do. this is the graham cassidy legislation that came up in the fall which would convert obamacare funding into block grants for states and that would fall under the rubric of medicaid reform. i think we have a ways to go. already, mcconnell has signaled there is not a interest in doing that. paul ryan, since he is the speaker and he controls the house and he can rule with an iron fist, he cannot be the one saying we are the ones who are going to do this. it is mcconnell on the senate side pointing to democrats saying, we need by and, we need by and, we're not going to get that, let's move on to bipartisan things. i think welfare reform, we are going to talk about it this week at the retreat in camp david, there is going to be a joint house-senate republican retreat later this month. i'm sure it will come up for discussion. host: jason dick. guest: that seems to be where we are heading here. one of

i was refused welfare, we were told to go back to canada if she wanted to divorce my father. we never received an ounce of help in the 1970's. i was born in detroit, my father is the 10th best civil engineer in the united states. look him up. lake michigan is the only body of water the united states owns. isn't it a amazing -- amazing that the states surrounding it have the highest taxation of the public, the people. our medical is not going to wipe out in the way of genocide because we are not paying attention to the medicare system. we are not paying attention to the fact that the justice system, the criminal and the family courts are divided. my circumstances, husband arrested, taken out of the home by the state, he is an apartment manager here, our dwelling is together. guess what? federal law is to protect me as a domestic violence person, correct? as a victim? evictimized because the criminal court cannot touch the family court and the family court won't touch the criminal court. host: alex bolton, pick up on the first part of that and the focus on the potential daca dea

i know that a lot of times people say these animal welfare organizations are extremists, right? i will say without them, people going into fur farms and so forth, we wouldn't know the conditions the animals live in. i wanted to speak up on their behalf. it's no secret i love animals. with that said, colleagues, i wanted to share some amendments i'll be making today. so we did amend some of the findings, so you'll see that throughout the beginning of the legislation. we are changing the operative date to january 1, 2019. you'll find that on page 4, line 1-4 as well as on the last page, i believe, last page 6, line 19. we are removing the exemption for non-profits and that's on page 4, line 7. we are amending legislation to specify that sale of used products and manufacturing from used fur products is included as part of the legislation and that's on page 4, line 13-14. so, colleagues, i'm hoping we can adopt those amendments today. from my understanding through the city attorney office those amendments require that this legislation be continued to another hearing. so with that, i'

welfare. ihad no interest. i don't want to be law enforcement. that isn't my style. the education issues, various agencies. he said that appeal to me and became very disillusioned not because of the issues. he loved the issues and education it was a big proponent of medicare before it became law. what he did was being a cabinet officer having to do with the staff he didn't want to take workers. when he became disillusioned he became pretty frustrated. there was a new education bill we talked to the white house about and said we think we can get the vote. the white house said you go out there and legislative leaders will go with you. ten minutes before we were due to go to the hill we got a call on the white house larry brown isn't going with you. he was furious about being let down by that and i think that is the moment he decided i'm going to run for the senate. and you were working with him as the chief assistant while he was in the cabinet. it was within 75,000 people. it's just unimaginably

on a voluntary basis animal welfare organizations protested a new report says most germans want a compulsory label but the agricultural ministry seems to be dragging its feet. i can imagine looking into how we can go forward with this label across europe so that it would be compulsory. denmark the netherlands and switzerland have already introduced mandatory animal welfare labels with great success the treatment of farm animals has improved considerably in those countries so there's no reason to blame europe for not taking action on animal welfare. i am betting that many of your mediately recognize that score is sort of that started playing you probably don't even need us to play the entire video read vote footage to know what it is his name is bond james bond a part of the bond legacy is that james bond fame composed more than fifty five years ago is one of the most famous pieces of music written for a movie and it's one of several legendary film scores featured in a new documentary score which opens this week in german cinemas take a look. whistling melodies twenty guitars and fatalistic trumpets never before had a movie score set the mood for a series of f

i remember welfare appeal. member when the base was treated like garbage for crass political purposes. and this time it turns out that unfortunately d.r.e.a.m.ers are not as popular as a functioning u.s. government, so you're not going to win that fight. but that's about the only thing that d.r.e.a.m.ers are less popular than, and democrats stood up for them, and the republicans are not -- >> how? >> how did they stand up for them? >> yeah. what did they get. what did they do for the d.r.e.a.m.ers? >> they showed some fight. when you're in the minority and all you can do is either stand or fold, they stood. and, listen, i agree with you. their hearts were bigger than their heads. they got rolled. they got beat. but i'm still proud of the democrats for trying to stand up for the d.r.e.a.m.ers and those young people saw people fighting for them. that's important. the base deserves to see some kind of fight out here, and they saw it. >> chris, i heard you ask at the beginning of this, or maybe just refer to it. who

i don't think they have the gumption to sustained a filibuster. if we give them a gusher of new spending on welfare things that we don't believe in and aren't good for the taxpayer, i think that good will we earn with the tax bill will dissipitate and will be worse for the economy. >> i was mentioning before, we'll be down in your neck of the woods there and a chilly neck of the woods on the 20th. the 1-year anniversary of the president's inauguration and a day after this deadline. so is there a sense of republicans trying to unite not necessarily with the same degree of gravitas with the tax cut things but so on the anniversary of his inauguration, you're not looking at a shut down. >> there may be. we're going back to washington and the house on january 8th. i think we'll have the temperature take. i think that the house majority is fine. we'll be able to handle it. i think the question is, who runs the senate and if schumer will call the shots -- >> and you need democratic votes in the senate. people understand that it's not sort of like a squeaker with the tax cut vote. just republicans. you ne

that's reality. >> i have seen other studies that actually say immigrants are no more likely to go on welfare>> tucker: i would be fascinated to see that study because it doesn't exist. >> it does exist. >> tucker: no, it doesn't. the rate of american programs using at least one program is 30%. that's higher than immigrants from south asia. but the preponderance of immigrants aren't coming from south asia, they are coming from latin america, those rates are really high and i think we have a right to ask questions about that but you say it's racist. >> can i tell you something, b have you heard of the five year bar? >> tucker: i don't know what the five year bar is. >> a five year bar is a law that congress passed that doesn't allow an immigrant once they regularize their status to access welfare. how is it that you are coming up from those numbers prevents people, unless you are considering when you get a scholarship for public education and public education is actually an investment into the country. if you are considering that, if that's what you are factoring on welfare, that's really prob

i will will not say you were a welfare queen. close. >> i took advantage of the system. stuart: you played the system. when you got off of the system out of the system, how do you feel? >> well of course you feel much better about work but it is very risky. here is the real issue at hand. i was on welfare over 30 years ago. there is little requirement for people to get people back into society. little requirement for folks sitting there taking advantage of somebody else's work. this is a good move to start getting much more creative how we distribute anti-poverty monies, tax monies to the states for them to help those that are most vulnerable. one thing that we can surely do help the most vulnerable in all the distressed zip codes allow them to participate in their own lives. that is what they do in kentucky and many other states across the country now that these laws have been laxed. stuart: all right, parker, since you called me varney i call parker. >> that is your show. happy new year. stuart: i do think you're all right an c

one is mass incarceration and the other is what i call the 30-year war on welfare. what they saw the nation do was to have a signal that they would send to the white people where they would say we are still the liberal voice here. >> host: codewords. >> guest: codewords, that's right. we started in the 70s with locking up a lot more people. there is a degree of crime but the response is much more extended and worse than that. and the politics worked for them and that was for men basically and for women they started telling the story that the zero people who are lazy and dependent and giving them money makes them not want to work and that whole story. i say that reticulated the difference between adding on but not necessarily in a corporative way because nixon himself tried to do welfare reform. we have got to remember this though, he wanted a guaranteed annual income and it wasn't an active and that's a long story in itself. it's partly nixon and it's very much the changes in the economic structure that's taking away the industrial jobs and it's these things that ar

we will get to welfare reform next. iical saying the president's appetite for that sort of things has always seemed very limited. he came out on the campaign trail hard against entitlement reform. if you really going to follow up a tax bill with something like welfare reform? it seems like he's really backing off of that with mitch mcconnell being his conduit on capitol hill saying let's talk about infrastructure spending instead. that might be an easier lift in an election year. >> chris: which raises another question, the first midterm election for the party that has the president in office is always tough with the exception of you in 2002 with george w. bush. how much trouble are republicans in as they had towards the midterm in 2018 in november? >> big trouble. president's approval rating is in the high 30s and the republicans are 24 seats in the house away from losing their majority. as a result i think we will see two republican agendas in 2018. if we will see the unified republican agenda, house, senate and white h

to move the motion, i call representing army welfare british forces overseas in germany, kate jones. please give her her welcome!

to move the motion i call representing army welfare, british minister overseas in germany, kate jones. please give her a warm welcome. [applause] >> thank you, mr. speaker. i have a dream, a dream that one day i thank you for such a heavy impact that will change the world forever when martin luther king gave a speech, the plague of racism on the country. i campaign of acceptance at what was there was none. i have a dream. i we dream that one day lgbt people no longer live in fear. that is being that not to be obtained without -- [inaudible] i believe will not be realized today and tomorrow or this coming term in part of. begin to write the injustices because what we can accomplish it today. this legislation will not on transfer in the real world. it's often a pair for my interactions with young people particularly my own constituents, discrimination is not the feature of human condition. it is a learned behavior. which makes to questions. where was this attitude so -- originate from? what is it that we can do to combat them? education is the key. according to cambridge university, 40%

i mean, there were a lot of reforms. when we reformed welfarehould reform welfare for rich people in corporations. what's fair is fair. so if you operate with a compass, you operate with a set of values, the jobs are not that hard. and when you get heat, so what? so, for me, think about this, not -- we had the convention in ohio, okay? i didn't go. it was in my own state. >> seth: yeah. >> people were, like, outraged. >> seth: sure. >> i didn't endorse him. you know, i wrote in john mccain, my hero, john mccain. >> seth: mm-hmm. >> a great guy. and so at the end -- [ cheers and applause ] people, today, still are angry with me. and this wasn't because i was upset because something happened to me. it was not the values i believed in. last point, i wrote a book called "two paths." you know, look, we have a lot of trouble in this country. you can either look at people who are struggling and you can -- you can make excuses, you can demagogue them and make them more negative or you can look at them and say, "look, you got problems, i agree. let's go

and i don't know how republicans who are there in camp david who are trying to get him to talk about infrastructure, who are trying to get him to talk about the wall and immigration and welfare reform, i don't know how they tear him away from twitter to say, look, we really need to focus on these things, because right now this president is very angry and he's continuing to watch cable news. >> pema, i want to ask you about the policy path forward. that's what they were discussing at camp david over the weekend. there was a long list of things he said he'd like to prioritize, including immigration and daca. of course, he has to figure out how to keep the government funded as well. what's your sense of what this white house wants to prioritize? and there was a lot of rhetoric here before the holiday. he sat down with michael schmidt of "the new york times" and talked about all the windows of opportunity he sees when it comes to bipartisan cooperation. where, if anywhere, do you see that happening? >> yeah, i think that that's the big question is whether or not this white house and this president can stay focused long enough to get more of their agenda passed. you know, we have

so ryan is talking about other things, like government reform and welfare reform, i think trump will say we can do welfare reform and transportation, but certainly trump has got to referee this thing. charles: let's not forget the infighting between the freedom caucus and the tuesday group that sank all the efforts to completely repeal obamacare. and in this particular case like for infrastructure, i think what president trump wants to do, he wants to get away from project based or the federal government's aside, states and the private sector do it. it sounds like a smart way because it would be more results oriented? >> absolutely, in states like california that already legalize marijuana, they can reinvest in their own state, right? so it makes sense, and also new york should do the same thing. president trump understands that he has to get infrastructure done, right? because infrastructure creates jobs, both white and blue collar, that's what he promised america, and be successful with that out the gate. daca is more tricky, however i think he's already put it out there. charles: h

change welfare as we know it i think was the moniker, you've been through that. we are in this jim crow, "the new jim crow" era, as michelle alexander puts it. so you seem a lot during your 80 years. have you seen a pot that has changed for the better, and have you seen anything change for the worse? >> guest: yes, and yes. and i do find it remarkable, since my two legs to work in my brain does work on some days, yes, i certainly was alive during franklin roosevelt. in many ways, in reading about the progressive era and the things that were done there, as since that we have the capacity for change. and, of course, i think we very definitely saw it, and i was a young adult then, during the 1960s. so anybody who says that their despairing, this this is a time when people to despair, we need to remember that change is very possible and, in fact, what we see from the historical record is that we can do it if we organize come if we get together, , if we push back and push forward. him the 1960s, of course there s a piece of that history that's the context for what we'

but what there was was a very strong expression of what i would call welfare chauvinism.ess to our social state and others shouldn't and the people who have the access, it should be owned by their social and economic contribution. danny. i enjoyed this report because it felt like sophie was listening to me and my buddies at the bar in the pub. but on this one i don't think anything like this risks presenting cliches and stereotypes, and i kind of see that as one of those. what came out of the report that i really liked was the fairness that was identified quite broadly among people. do you think that is not fair, do you hear that quote and think it is not fair? i can see why that would grab a headline and be picked out but i don't think the report says that's even typical. i realised a finding that these people from a specific demographic who are not overtly racist, and i do think that fairness and get on with it attitude that shone through in the report is absolutely the generation of people that i still respect. when you hear the immigration argument, do you think it is

i also think that to jonathan's point about welfare reform, i think that some of these pushes that thehite house may do, they have to align with what paul ryan and mitch mcconnell want to do. and so paul ryan wants welfare reform, that's probably what they're going end to up doing in the congress, regardless of what the white house wants, because this white house essentially has been pushed to the side, because trump is not a good communicator on legislation. >> and john, let me ask you a different variation of that. john talks about the base of the republican party. midterm election coming up this year. paul ryan wants to keep the house, mitch mcconnell wants to keep the senate. if you're trying to motivate republican voters to go out there and vote, because we saw an enthusiasm gap in 2017, what could the white house do? what could republicans do this year that would have that effect? >> nothing. >> nothing? >> nothing. i really don't think that there is anything on the agenda that is exciting, unless it is responsive to things that we don't know yet. in other words, things will happ

it was heart of the word go, and i hope that the safeguarding and athlete welfare side of it will bend it is dangerous. in response, a uk sport spokesperson told the bbc "athlete welfare is of the utmost importance to all of us". british parasnowsport confirmed that "an athlete" — known to be cava — made the complaint to uk sport regarding a "staff member and a range of other issues". and added "as is absolutely necessary in these circumstances, the complaint will be fully investigated by an independent organisation who will report back to us and uk sport when it's completed," . they added "we would caution against any conclusions being drawn by others not in possession of all the facts." team gb are aiming to make the winter olympics in pyongchang. their most succesful to date. the all—scottish men's and women's curling teams believe a medal is a realistic prospect. eve muirhead won bronze in sochi four years ago. and she hopes she won't be the only muirhead among the medals, with the team very much afamily affair. alasdair lamment explains.

on a voluntary basis animal welfare organizations protested a new report says most germans want a compulsory label but the agricultural ministry seems to be dragging its feet. i can imagine looking into how we can go forward with this label across europe so that it would be compulsory. denmark the netherlands and switzerland have already introduced mandatory animal welfare labels with great success the treatment of farm animals has improved considerably in those countries so there's no reason to blame europe for not taking action on animal welfare. this is day eight of the news live from berlin still to come on the show russia's president vladimir putin is running for reelection this year i'll be talking to an advisor to one of the opposition's captives. and thousands of eastern europeans are living rough berlin we look at why so many would rather live on the streets of the german capital than return to their own countries. all of that and much more straight ahead. month long cheering on city. sixteen. i should makea has no children which makes her feel worthless and incomplete. in a society that expects them to bear children this is a burden many married chi
