mr. president, edward edwin stanton just called me a damn fool." and he said "you're probably -- he is probably right." his son said later that lincoln and stanton had an agreement, actually, sort of a good cop/bad cop kind of thing. lincoln would do what he could to smooth over things. he would leave it up to stanton to really, you know, lay down the laws. as i said, edwin stanton said "no" for the nation. here is another instance. i devote a short chapter two montgomery -- to montgomery. to do jury duty. i arrived at the pension building and i have never seen such a glorious interior space in my life. huge, four-story, white columns. i said "who on earth designed that building?" it was montgomery meigs. there is one called "second only to grant," and that caught my attention. but i wanted to tell you a few things that were said about montgomery meigs which seemed to indicate a man of tremendous integrity, and it was awfully nice to read that there are still people around. -- still such people around. let me see. stanton. this is what stanton said

mr. flake: i rise with great sadness to remember edward lerenzen who perished this weekend in a house fire. ed was invaluable to my staff during last year's tax reform debate. "the washington post" honored his contributions to congress saying, quote, quietly and intelligently mr. lerenzen provided reliable fiscal information especially when facts and figures were the last thing wishful thinkers in washington or the government wanted to face. the committee for a responsible federal budget where ed served as senior advisor said, quote, he was a brilliant budget mind. his guidance and expertise is a void that cannot be filled, unquote. the committee also remembered his deep love for his children saying, quote, we worked every day with a kind, loving man who cherished his three kids, bringing them to the office on occasion and lighting up in their presence at the sound of their names, unquote. mr. president, i cannot imagine the grief that ed and michael's family and loved ones face. i would like to extend my deepest sympathies to them during this difficult time. may we all hold our families a

edward, who was 23, had recently graduated from the university of st andrews. the pilot, gareth morgan, had done more than 10,000 flying hours, 9,000 of which were on seaplanes. the pilot had collected mrfamily from an exclusive waterfront restaurant and was heading back to rose bay on sydney harbour. shortly after take—off, the plane plummeted into the water. investigators say it quickly sank and there were no survivors. these are people who have come out on holiday to visit australia in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. and for this to happen to them in a place like that is nothing more than just tragic. it could take months to work out how and why a routine sightseeing trip could end in utter disaster. air crash investigators have begun their work. their task won't be easy. the wreckage of the seaplane has been submerged in more than a0 feet of water. and although these idyllic bays and inlets are geographically close to sydney, the crash site is tucked away and hard to get to. sydney seaplanes, which owns the aircraft, has suspended all its flights until further notice. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. the labour mp and former shadow business secretary chuka umunna worked

mr. president, thank you for getting us over the finish line. thank you for getting us where we are. [ applause ] >> congressman edwards, mitch mcconnell is described as believing the reason to have donald trump there, whatever his faculties are "he'll sign whatever we put in front of him." is it that cynical? >> well, yes. but look, i'm glad grow brought this up, joy. so we have a problem with the president, we have a problem with the people around him, we have a problem in congress. so the founding fathers understood something like this could happen, that's why they put most of the power of the federal government in the congress. they did not envision that someday we would have a paul ryan and a mitch mcconnell who cared less about the country than they did about their party, who were willing to sell out the principles of their party, the values they have always proclaimed themselves in order to prop up, shore up a man like donald trump because it helped them get their agenda past. so there are a lot of republicans like myself who support parts of this agenda. we're republicans, we support a lot of what republicans are trying to do, but not at th
