we go live now to springfield, illinois for illinois governor bruce rauner's third state of the state address joining at the general assembly at the state capital. >>> today i rise to open for taking a moment for officer -- from the blooming dadale police department who passed away on january 19th just 27 years old this officer had only been on the department less than a year, had already received a life-saving award and was labelled as a shining star. this man took the solemn oath of protecting our communities and saving lives today he's being laid to rest and i would ask that we keep his family and all of our law enforcement community in our thoughts and prayers, for they do a nearly impossible job. and unpoapologetically to his family, thank you for sharing him, please remember that that man touched many lives in a short period as an officer. changed many lives. we very a very difficult job, and i would hope that this body could understand we don't do it for thanks, we don't do it for any type of gratitude, we do it because it's right. we do it because it's honorable and we do it b

am a native of illinois. lincoln, for much of his life, lived in the most racist northern state with the most are akoni and black coat. it was a very conservative state , populated by many people from kentucky, like his own family or becausehad fled slavery his father did not want to compete for wages against slaves among other things. it was a very different health whigs, even they were too liberal. but then something happened, immigration. when the germans came, that changed the state. state at thethe same time the city of chicago took off with the building of , a illinois central railroad great project. and the beginning of industrial -- industrialization. and suddenly there was a north in illinois. they had been a central illinois in the southern illinois, but suddenly that tipped the balance 1858,er so that in lincoln actually won the popular vote. understood these dynamic factors involved in immigration. the liberalization that the immigrants brought as a. never made a public statement against the know

illinois state journal and lincoln and his friends. and i was somewhat hesitant about reading this, but i am going to quote it directly, because this is what lincoln had to contend with. in his day. and this is what stephen a douglas' newspaper under his direction, editorialized. it said that the journal opens its batteries upon senator flake douglas' nebraska bill, renewing the agitation of the nigger question by furiously charging douglas with opening that question. and it went on. niggerdom is preparing for a new onslaught, and as lincoln began to draw together the nebraska coalition, the register warned the people of this district will want pledges against all alliances with niggerism, and it praised old whigs who resisted the fusion of niggerism. from that moment through his 1858 debates with douglas to his reelection campaign of 1864, when he was called abraham africanus i, lincoln's political skill and personal endurance required to prevail in the face of on ending blasts of racially-charged demagoguery. in a stroke, at that mom

according to the illinois hospital association, the 15th congressional district in illinois stands to lose $470 million under republican repeal of the affordable care act. that means 3,400 jobs lost in that congressional district in central illinois with repeal of affordable care. now, we talk about good jobs and creating them in the state. the president goes and makes trips, as he should, to try to save american jobs, and yet the first congressional action by the republican majority this year is to threaten 3,400 jobs in the 15th congressional district. washington county hospital in nashville, illinois, is a 22-bed critical access hospital 50 miles from st. louis. they provide acute care, surgical service, gynecological services. when i asked them what republican repeal of the affordable care act would mean to washington county hospital in my downstate area, and they said, quote, "to eliminate the a.c.a. would be detrimental to the thousands of people in our county that were previously uninsured, either because of part-time work or serious health problems." they won't on to say, "i g

according to headlines, illinois tool works earned 1.39 per share.ugh when you exclude someone-time items, they earn a 1.45. that's a 17.9% growth rate from an industrial. meanwhile they came in 3.9% versus last year. what matters to me, it had 2% organic growth, which was at the very top of the previous forecast and the self-help initiatives bear fruit. operating margins 21.8%. it is very hard in this atmosphere to get that done. on top of that, illinois tool works gave bullish guidance for the next quarter projecting 1 to 2% organic growth and earnings right in the middle of what they were looking for. given this company's track record, i would not be surprised if the guidance turns out to be conservati conservative. itw reiterated. again, i think there is good reason to believe that these are low numbers because the forecast doesn't include uptick in the company's industrial. that means if the economy gets stronger, fairly likely, or get a big increase in oil drilling, very likely, then the estimates here will once again prove to be too low. how d

it is that eight years -- when obama was a representative of illinois, nothing was done. i mean trump is just trying -- anyway, the interview got back to the nra for some reason, instead of focusing on the point, which it did seem like the whole media thing went the wrong way. you know, give the guy a chance. he has been in office a week. [laughter] almost so, it is anti-american to not trot -- not try to work with a guy and see what he is trying to do here. host: ok, gary. heard your point. let's hear from tommy in tennessee, an independent. .aller: hello, ms. greta i just want to say i feel like trump's policies are quite divisive, but i believe he is trying to appeal to both sides of the aisle. as far as your last guest that was on, mr. cox, what mr. cox needs to understand is there are agencies that have too many employees and not enough work. therefore, we need to transfer employees to the right agencies so there are plenty of agencies -- employees that deal with that agency's agenda. if we do that, we can actually lower the cost of the maintenance of government. see

i tell you what i found in illinois. what i found in illinois is that the current opioid-heroin epidemic is everywhere. there is no town too small and there is no suburb too wealthy to avoid it. story after story of teenagers and young people addicted who have no place to turn. and if the republicans have their way in the senate and the house, they will close the door for many of these young people. i see my colleague from the state of new hampshire here. i was stunned to read -- i don't know if it's still the case. but i was stunned to read several months ago that when you look at the average number of deaths from opioid and heroin across the nation -- and illinois is, i'm not making excuses here, we're average -- the rate of death for heroin opioid overdose in west virginia is twice the national average and the rate in new hampshire three times the national average. listen to what the repeal of the affordable care act would mean in new hampshire. and i might say to the senator from new hampshire she's quoted in this ar

the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from illinois is recognized for one minute. ms. schakowsky: i rise in strong opposition to h.r. 7. we are only 10 days into this 115th congress, and already republicans are bringing legislation to the floor to harm women's health. it's clear that house republicans do not respect women and our ability to make our own decisions. millions of women, peacefully marched in cities around the country and around the world, and yet here we're once again, voting legislation to give politicians more control over women's bodies than they have of their own. let's be clear. the ultimate goal of this bill is to effectively eliminate access to abortions, even when women pay for it themselves. seven in 10 americans believe that abortion should be safe and legal. just as we have seen in texas when women lose access to abortion, they will take drastic action to seek back alley abortions or to self-abort. let's remember that roe v. wade is not -- was not the beginning of women having abortions. it was the end of women dying from abortions. i yield back
