mr. graham: are we in a quorum call? the presiding officer: we are. mr. graham: i would ask unanimous consent the quorum call be termed. the presiding officer: without objection -- be terminated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. graham: would you let me know when ten minutes expires? the body is going to have a voto have a vote in a couple of hours about whether or not we should approve an arms sale to our friends in saudi arabia. i use the friend term because that's what i think they are when it comes to the efforts to win the war against terror. internal problems in saudi arabia are real. they need to modernize the way they do business. they have double-dealing in the past of helping terrorist organizations. at the end of the day, the middle east is a very complicated place. but here's what's not complicated. saudi arabia shared intelligence with us that's made americans safe. they have allowed us to use their air bases in time of conflict. they are all in against isil, and they are great -- a great ally against the ambitions of the iranians

mr. president, i ask that i engage in a colloquy with my colleague from south carolina, senator graham. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mccain: mr. president, last night, there was obviously one of the most watched political events in american history, the debate between donald trump and secretary clinton, and a lot of issues were addressed or not addressed depending on your point of view, but the thing that was stunning to me, the aspect of this, is that there was not a single comment about the genocide that's taking place in syria as we speak. not a comment about this terrible situation which has taken the lives of over 400,000 innocent wen, women and children in syria, driven six million into refugee status, destabilized the european europe and continues to this day in an endless flood. i think the american people deserve better than what they got last night, to be honest. so, mr. president, the beat goes on. the genocide goes on. the slaughter goes on. only at an increased tempo. today's "wall street journal," " syria defies calls to end offensive." of course it defies

mr. graham: thank you, mr. speaker. -- ms. graham: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, today i rise with deep disappointment that the rules committee didn't make in order any of my amendments to improve the management and apalachicola, chattahoochee and flint rivers. they're worried that the apalachicola river is dying because of mismanagement and overuse of stream. just this year, it was named one of the country's most endangered rivers. two years ago in a rare show of collaboration and bipartisanship on this very issue, plebs from alabama -- members from alabama, georgia and florida agreed to language that actually acknowledged the mismanagement and encouraged the states to stop the arguing and work together to find a solution. what a novel concept. but even that tiny compromise is being stricken in this bill. an egregious problem that my amendment would have fixed. and this congress won't even allow it to be discussed. i'm well aware that other states involved in this issue have a lot at stake. it's infuriating other states won't recognize what's at risk in

mr. graham: everything you said, i want to associate myself with. here's our dlem m. there are two -- dilemma. there are two forces inside of syria that are a threat to us and the region and people in syria: isil, a news are a, the other -- al-nusra are a threat to the united states. raqqa, the capital of isil's caliphate is in syria. they planned the attacks in paris and europe out of raqqa. they communicate with sleeper cells throughout the world. thousands of westerners have gone to syria for training under isil's control. so the bottom line is it is in our interest to destroy this caliphate because the next 9/11-type attack is being planned in syria. and if you take the land away from isil, then you're doing a lot of damage to them. they become a terrorist organization rather than a terrorist army. so the plan to destroy isil is beyond ill-conceived. i had dinner last night with a turkish ambassador. what is the ground force that we're relying upon to go take raqqa away from isil? you're clearly not going to win the war from the air. we've done a lot of damage, bu

mr. jolly. thank you, madam speaker. i agree with representative graham. we must fund this, we must fund a clean bill. whatever it takes, mr. speaker, we've got to get this done as soon as possible. i've been focused on the growing problem of zika since march, when the energy and commerce committee held a hearing on zika, zika preparedness. we've been working together in a bipartisan fashion to get this done. zika's a unique problem that will only increase. at the end of august there were 2,686 cases of travel-associated zika within the united states. these cases came from international travel, where the individual acquired zika abroad and discovered it when they returned to the united states. there have been also 35 cases of locally acquired mosquito-borne zika. as a matter of fact, we have a nontravel related case in our county. there have also been, again, 35 cases of locally acquired mosquito-borne zika. there are 35 individuals who got zika because a mosquito bit them within the united states. because of this local transmission, for the first time ever

and here senator lindsay graham's advice to donald trump tonight. >> here's mr. trump's problem. and you can't say, you know, that's not right, then people question your judgment. if you really do believe that this president was born in kenya, then i'm not so sure i want you to be my president. >> sunlen serfaty is out front. there's no side that trump seems to be changing his tune on the birther issue, is there? >> no signs at all, erin, that donald trump is backing off in one bit as he has in the past and not really walked away from those insinuations that he made in the past or renounced the birther movement in any way, and it was very notable not only senator graham and one of donald trump's chief surrogates and top surrogates, ben carson said that he believes that is hurting donald trump right now especially when talking about how he's trying to court african-american voters and ben carson notably said that he believes that it would help donald trump to apologize for making these charges that president obama was not born in the u.s. when everyone knows when he was born in th

mr. trump. we're going to bring that sound up for you momentarily. back in our political panel, jackie kucinich, todd grahamchael swirlick. kellyanne conway was on "new day" this morning and she said donald trump believes climate change is a naturally occurring phenomenon. you heard what, you know, tom foreman said that donald trump said it was a hoax perpetrated by the chinese. this seeps to be another place where the trump campaign is assembling the plane as it's flying. i don't know that donald trump really had a real heartfelt position on climate change before he started running for president. he may have -- he just kind of speaks off the cuff or tweets off the cuff and i think that's what we saw in that china tweet. that is obviously not acceptable or science and what conway is -- is also disputable. that said, that's a little bit closer to something that normal people hold rather than it's all a hoax. >> of course young voters, climate change really resonates. >> of course. >> i mentioned before mike pence came out and seemed to have a different opinion of climate change then kellyanne conway had that

mr. kasparov, thanksor joining me. you hed what i quoted from lindsey graham on that one and i saw when i was reading it you almost smirked little bit. how do you view his description? >> look, i can add many more items. almost endless list and every day putin adds new and new crimes to his history. and i believe that now after so being unpunished for what he did in russia and neighboring countries and the massacre in the middle east, he thinks he can influence elections in the free world and his eyes now are on the united states since it's the biggest prize any kgb agent could ever cover. >> there was an article in "the washington post." how russia could spark a u.s. electoral disaster. and she said the ideas were essentially came from what russia has done in other countries. and she noted some similarities. rheumors election fraud can create the same hysteria as real election fraud. whatever happens, the political process is undermined, social trust plummets further and the appeal of american democracy at home and around the world diminishes and that is the point. this goes to that it was a similar situation in ukraine.

, kay granger, chairwoman house appropriations subcommittee, lindsey graham, senate appropriations subcommittee, very clearly says, mr. president, until that block by senate democrats is stopped, we give you the authorization to reprogram money that would be available. you seem to find lots of money that's available to bring people to this country who might be displaced in other places around the world, why don't you spend a little bit of money on important issues like the zika virus? we're on record. we're waiting for the senate to move the bill. mr. speaker, i want you to know your time that you have allocated today, the precious time of this house, was done today for bills that came to us from ideas from the american people. that floated on a bipartisan basis directly up to the financial services committee. brought these bills forward. they have been talked about. marked up. vetted. they are good to go. and i am in full support of not only this rule but this legislation. and for that reason i urge my colleagues to continue to support this rule and the underlying bills. i yield back the balance of my time and i mov

mr. barrasso: we have introduced, a numbers of us and senator graham called the health care choice act to let the states have much more say in this. the state health care choice act. it provides freedom, flexibility, choice. so much of the reason that the prices have gone up so high is that the president has decided what kind of insurance people need to buy instead of letting people let themselves decide what they need, what's best for them and their families. and i've gotten letters, and i know you have as well, from families who before had insurance that worked for them, but it wasn't good enough for president obama because he feels he knows better than the people know about themselves and their families. so we want to provide this freedom and flexibility and choice, let states decide whether they want to comply with the mandates of obamacare or not. let states have a much more involvement than washington one size fits all that i know doesn't work for wyoming and i suspect doesn't work for arizona either. mr. mccain: at a town hall meeting someone will stand up in cody or tucson and say

graham. thank you, mr. speaker. and thank you, congresswoman gabbard, for loaning me your lei and hosting this special order in honor of our colleague and friend, the late congressman mark takai of hawaii. i was fortunate to develop a very close friendship with mark as we were part of the same freshman class elected in 2014 a. we sat next to each other on the house armed services committee. in the pan handled of -- panhandle of florida, the area i represent, we have an attitude toward life we call the north florida way. in means we care about public service. we take care of our neighbors. and we do what's right. even though the panhandle is about 5,000 miles from hawaii, the north florida way is a lot like the aloha spirit. as we learned today here, congressman takai embodied the aloha spirit. as a public servant, he stands as a role model for all of us. he first ran for public office at 27 years old and served 10 years in the hawaii house of representatives before coming to congress. at the same time he was also se

mr. trump: i've witnessed that incredible generosity all across this land. gotten to know so many people. i saw during my trip to louisiana where christian volunteers raced to help their fellow citizens in need. franklin grahams an example. he brought the most incredible people and equipment to louisiana.

mr. speaker, my home state of florida is well-known for the best tasting orange juice that i am fortunate to have grown up drinking, and we sell that orange juice across our great country. ms. graham: but today our citrus farmers and orange industry are experiencing a crisis unparalleled to anything we've seen in the last century. citrus greening, an invasive disease that ravages citrus plants, has steadily taken its toll on florida's citrus and it's spreading to other states too. that's why i'm proud to support the emergency citrus disease response act, which would allow citrus growers to deduct the cost of replacing lost or damaged citrus plants from their taxes. this congress must work together across party lines to do all we can to help florida's orange and citrus farmers, and this legislation will help them afford the new trees they need to restore our citrus crop so we can all keep drinking the best orange juice ever. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the time of the gentlelady has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania eek recognition? without objection, so ordered. >> mr. speaker, i rise today in s

graham has spon out. to a person when asked, every christian we met with in iraq expressed a pervasive sense of abandonment. we were with one dominican sister, sister diana, she said, mr. wolf, does the church in the west care about us? these courageous men and women of faith cannot comprehend why burning churches, forced conversions and the emergence of a caliphate is not being met with urgency and action by the fellow believers in the west. the congress passed a resolution called a genocide. secretary kerry has called a genocide and yet almost nothing has been done since. when we were in iraq we met with a man and whose wife had had breast cancer in a little camp, in a little school. he had a young boy with him, two young boys. his older child, one had gone to san diego and one was living in turkey. he told the story that his wife had breast cancer. and when isis came in and took over his village and took over mosul, a week or two later they then went to mosul for treatment for his wife's breast cancer. they told him, isis says they will not give your wife treatment for breast cancer unless she converts, unless she denies christ. and it struck me. here's a man and a
