smith: mr. ellis, do you have a follow-up question for mr. carter? mr. ellis: yes. mr. president, you have mentioned the creation of 9 million new jobs. at the same time, the unemployment rate still hangs high, as does the inflation rate. now, i wonder, can you tell us what additional policies you would pursue in a second administration in order to try to bring down that inflation rate? and would it be an act of leadership to tell the american people they are going to have to sacrifice to adopt a leaner lifestyle for some time to come? pres. carter: yes. we have demanded that the american people sacrifice, and they have done very well. as a matter of fact, we're importing today about one-third less oil from overseas than we did just a year ago. we've had a 25% reduction since the first year i was in office. at the same time, as i have said earlier, we have added about 9 million net new jobs in that period of time -- a record never before achieved. also, the new energy policy has been predicated on two factors. one is conservation, which requires sacrifice, and the other

mr. ellis: mr. president, as you have said, americans, through conservation, are importing much less oil today than we were even a year ago. yet u.s. dependence on arab oil as a percentage of total imports is today much higher than it was at the time of the 1973 arab oil embargo, and for some time to came, the loss of substantial amounts of arab oil could plunge the u.s. into depression. this means that a bridge must be built out of this dependence. can the united states develop synthetic fuels and other alternative energy sources without damage to the environment, and will this process mean steadily higher fuel bills for american families? pres. carter: i don't think there's any doubt that, in the future, the cost of oil is going to go up. we will drill more oil and gas wells this year than any year in history. we will produce more coal this year than any year in history. we are exporting more coal this year than any year in history. and we have an opportunity now , with improved transportatio

mr. ellis: and it's been a year since we learned about the lead contaminated water in flint. it's way past time to act, mr. speaker. we're here to call on our republican colleagues to do their job and to address the urgent needs of the people of flint. we have to consider funding a bill that will take care of the needs of the people in flint. this crisis happened when governor snyder ripped democratic rights away from the people of flint and tried to run the government like it was a business, but the state made decisions in the name of fiscal responsibility, but when it comes to people's health, the government should not be run on the cheap with people's health. funding from congress could help flint. replace corroded pipes. support health and education assistance for kids exposed to lead. and deliver economic development opportunities for the community. earlier this year i traveled to flint with representative kildee and 25 other of my colleagues to hear directly from the people. mr. speaker, here are a few of the things they said. one woman spoke about the loss of dignity sh

mr. stumpf,elly: you previously talked to me about wells fargo values. look at the mess we are in.a community banker from my state called the office unsolicited and just say, and he said, here we go again. my bank is going to be slandered because of what these guys are doing. and he said, if my bank had a widespread practice of opening unauthorized accounts and moving customer money without permission, i would be in jail. my bank would be sold, and my entire management team and board would be sued by the regulators for a lack of oversight. and he is sick to his stomach about what has happened here. and so my mind. --r 5000 people from indiana 5000 hoosiers who, every day, everybody has talked about their own, every day these people work nonstop to try to pay the bills, take care of their family, make sure that they can make ends meet, and they hope that they can. million-plus across the country, but over 5000 hoosiers who had unauthorized accounts open. now, the second many of these credit cards are opened, these folks' credit was immediately deemed, and is is what senator tester w

best selling author is ellis henican. >> no more mr. softie. >> you heard the headlines. he didn't speak until 9:00 eastern time. what is your headline? >> double down. this was the throaty base donald we got last night. it was subject a huge contrast from the tone in mexico where he was calm. i dare say almost presidential and maybe didn't mention who would pay for the wall. we saw many sides of donald. >> first, his meeting with the mexican president and then second, we will hear from trump on the campaign trail in arizona. >> have a tremendous feeling for mexican-americans not only in terms of friendships, but in terms of the tremendous numbers that i employ in the united states. they are amazing people. amazing people. >> we will build a great wall along the southern border. and mexico will pay for the wall. they don't know it yet, but they're going to pay for the wall. and they're great people and great leaders, but they will pay for the wall. >> talking about payment of the wall. donald trump eluding to the fact there is some question about whether that was discusse

mr. trump defended himself. hillary clinton did not. trish: all right. ellis, why was her body language as sort of, you know, uppity as it was? you could -- i don't think that played so well in peoria. if you look at hillary clinton, maybe we can show some clips for the viewers, you see her effectively looking, well, kind of pompous on set. why'd she do that? >> that may be more your eyes than her body, i suspect. listen, if donald trump won last night, hillary clinton should hope he keeps winning like that every single time they're together. it was not a perfect performance on her part. i mean, there were opportunities that she let slip, but on balance she was the one who displayed stamina, command of the issues, calm -- he never got under her skin the way she does under his. and i've got to tell you, not perfect, but she could repeat this all day long. trish: i guess, you know, all's fair in love and war and politics, but she really was going after him. referring to him as crazy at one point and really trying to needle him in a way. but, you know, i guess it

ellis, i want to start with you, with mr. biden.is in northeast ohio which is very key section of ohio, that will carry the state, frankly. can he appeal to the blue-collar worker and union worker that suffered under president barack obama for eight years? >> there are a lot of people looking uncle joe, if only he had been the nominee, right? he definitely has that human you touch. he is one of her very best surrogates. and yeah, he is a pretty good messenger in northeast ohio. state is really close to be honest with you. cheryl: still up for grabs. at the same time, kevin, look at message, donald trump is having problems now today after this big speech in arizona last night. hillary clinton saying, staying on her for a second, running ads in arizona going after trump because they see opportunity to take arizona as well. do you think that she has got a shot after last night's trump's speech there. >> first of all i don't think hillary has any shot in arizona. cheryl: huge hispanic population in arizona, is it not? , it is still up f

mr. hackie was his four-year-old daughter, elly, and his two-year-old son, grayson, all three of them were killed. now mr. cantaro was a mexican citizen who entered the united states illegally the first time where he entered in 2006. i don't know how many times he reentered the country illegally, but we know he was back for at least a second time in 2016 and obviously with tragic consequences. now i want to start out and go on the record to thank you director for being responsive personally when i called your office immediately after the incident, i didn't expect to get a call back directly from you and i received one and what you told me during the phone call about what i.c.e. was going to do and able to provide the hacking family with the small, but i think very important token of assurance and justice wouldn't be ignored. i'm grateful to you and i know the hacking family is as well and i want to go on the record to that point. i think the fact that i felt compelled to urgently pick up the phone and call you really speaks to the larger problem. i felt compelled to do that because i was a
