unlikely, especially considering that the chair of the senate environment oklahoma senator james inhofe, is the guy best known for doing this. >> we keep hearing that 2014 has been the warmest year on record. i asked the chair, you know what this is? it's a snowball. and that's just from outside here. so it's very, very cold out. [ laughter ] >> seth: though it would have been fun for inhofe to go looking for a snowball today, considering it was 68-[ bleep ] degrees in washington, d.c. [ cheers and applause ] today. for real. this is harry reid going to work. that's how he dressed. [ laughter ] that is very in step with his time. [ laughter ] nonetheless, this is obviously a huge story, and a historic diplomatic achievement. and when the french foreign minister made the deal official, he did so by banging the world's tiniest leaf gavel. [ laughter ] i get it, you guys. you're green. on message. still, no matter the gavel, applause broke out among the audience, which included world leaders, u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon, and yeah, you know al gore was there. there he is. [ applause

inhofe: i want to stop this socialist movement in this country in the next year because we have obama for another whole year. i'm gonna do all i can to curb that left program that's totally un- american. kelly: being good to constituents. kind: i always pray for peace throughout the earth. we need a little more of that in the united states congress. i'm hoping next year will be a little less polarizing a little less hyper- partisan and a little more listening to each other so we can find some common ground around here. hoverboards were a popular gift this christmas... but owners in california will have to follow some new laws. "i just got this board and now you're going to come up with a law two days later like who does that?! you know what these things cost." among the new rules: users must wear a helmet, you must be in a bike lane; and you can't be on any road with a speed limit higher than 35. the new law also prevents children 16 from using the boards. d-m-v officials say the intent of the law is to ensure the devices do not impede traffic or become a hazard for other pedestrians

there which the president signed off on and the congress agreed to in your deal and by the way, jenna inhofe and barbara boxer, total opposite. but they got a result and you got some good legislators on both sides of the aisle and the capital that have the ability in the highway bill, the best of which is later in congress but he had a partner, barbara boxer on the house side. we need more of that. >> there was a growth rate agreement in the house and even on the divisive issues they are very confrontational. >> that is one thing we advocate is always picking the places that people have a huge battle. think of places where there is a need that such a good can be done and when you get the result it's the a result it's the ability to get more results and they quit doing that. >> during the time that you're innocent and i was in the house, you don't talk about the vision and the buck but we were back during that time looking about research and development to deal with some of the ails of america that we were dealing with in the health arena. we were talking about opportunities and for businesse

now we've got the best guy, paul inhofe. he's the best and he gets it. >> he has a totally different attitude. >> we would want to look at the packet, but you've got to use large organizations, the boys club, the girls club. if we can get the information out there, we'll solve this problem. let me tell you what's really happened. i've been working on this for years. what happened was doctors were willy nilly young people -- you know what they did? you go to the dentist and they take out your wisdom teeth and they give you 20 oxycontin. now that the whole country is focused on how we can limit prescription drugs, you can't get them. we've been seeing prescribing dosage drop because now we have protocols. if you write a prescription, we know if you're out of bounds. and the limits have been set by physicians, so if you have chronic pain or acute pain, we're watching you. and we also have a medical board. now we'll take your license away. we're not screwing around with this. you can no longer go from emergency room to emergency

i commend senator boxer and senator inhofe for what they did on the highway bill to work through there absolutely necessary to get a longer-term highway transportation bill that doesn't come if you just kind of elbow your way through. it comes when you work together. i think that we have demonstrated on the energy committee that we have done just that, is working collaboratively. i have said it many times, this, the energy policy modernization bill, is not the bill that i would have drafted if it were just up to me. and it is not the bill that senator cantwell would have drafted if it was just up to her. or the bill that any one of us would have drafted if it was just up to him or her. but it is a bill that we wrote together. we wrote it as a committee. we wrote it as a team. and as a group of 22 senators who really care very deeply about our nation's energy policies. so, as members are coming back, as they're looking at this bill, i would urge you to look at what is in the bill, what we have been able to find that common ground -- where we have been able to find the common ground, a

he taught 40 bible studies for the senators in senator inhofe's capitol office.he taught 44 bible studies for 15 chief of staffs. he engaged in hospital visitations on frequent occasions, and gave weekly updates about the sick and injured at the senate breakfast. delivered a eulogy for former senator brook at the national cathedral, administered to senate office staff members during times of grief, spoke to senate staff during staff meetings. and this is not all. he also, in his -- in relation to acting activities -- to his activities and duties he hosted a ladies small group bible study every monday consisting of senate staff. he had a small group of men consisting of other senate staff from bible study every week. mr. president, everyone should know that he does more than give his prayer opening the senate every day. in fact, if that's all he did, it would be well worth the functions of the senate chaplain, but he does much more, and i congratulate him and express appreciation in the entire senate of the good work and good representation this fine man does repr
