mr. harris. now. >> during the trial, harris was incarcerated at hillsborough county jail in a housing unit for high-profile inmates. he was no more popular with the man who runs the jail than he was with the judge. >> mr. harris is, in my 25 years of law enforcement, probably one of the most manipulative, conniving, condescending people that i've ever encountered, in my opinion. he was difficult for the staff, no matter how much respect you afforded him, no matter how well you treated him, he found a way to try to turn it. >> but harris says is he simply misunderstood. >> i feel like everybody looks at me like a ted bundy type character, and i'm not. when i see myself in the paper, i think to myself, if people really knew who i was and how i really am, they would know i didn't rape anybody, i didn't kidnap anybody. the people that do know me, my friends, they know me. my family, they know me. so, it's surreal, it's heartbreaking, depressing, and i wish i could change things, but i can't. >>> comi

mr. harris, when so many of these financial abuse go underreported, underrecognized, what would you like press to do? >> i think one of the things is lacking is organizations like mine. not just nests early that you guardianship work but focus on recovering monies on a local level, for seniors. there are a lot of people we can help and if there some way the federal government can support the assistance foundations or other legal services for establishing attorneys in those offices that focus specifically on that area, i think be very helpful. >> thank you for your work. >> we recognize gentleman from north carolina. you have five minutes. >> thank you very much mr. chairman for convening this important hearing today. thank you to the three witnesses. these questions are going to be directed at two of you, please don't take that personally but i know a little bit about cook county and public guardian program. it is one of the best in the nation. what was your predecessors name? >> patrick murphy. >> patrick murphy, that that was his name. my stepdaughter tracy,, don't get surprised, that

mr. harris is the cook county public guardian and is leading the fight to protect the elderly against fraud home town. as a long-time consumer advocate and now the co-chair of the congressional task force on seniors for the democratic caucus, i'm committed to ensuring that seniors benefit from strong consumer protections. more now than ever this subcommittee ought to be helping and we are beginning that process today to ensure that elderly americans are protected against fraudsters. seniors represent the fastest growing segment of our population since 2000. the number of seniors has grown 30%. while the population overall just increased 10%. more than one in four seniors who lives alone has difficulty with activities of daily living or some cognitive impairment. according to the fbi, serbs -- seniors generally have a higher net worth, tendencies to be trusting and less likely to report fraud. all of this makes the elderly prime targets. we have seen an uptick in the number of products and services targeted toward the elderly, including antiaging products, health, related products, prize pro

that made the equipment for $50,000 in damage, no one has accused me of getting to a bar fight with mr. harry am in no way a suspect in that nonfight, his face, and rib and eye were injured that is what we call getting an old fashioned [ bleep ] whooping. kennedy: like what did he too with the bands i have those they are simple to use, i need to see footage of this. kennedy: he makes mont montgomey byrneses look like a rock. >> do we tell product i am suing you because i misused the product. >> thank you. >> yeah, harry reid indeed, which goes to your point how they were using the bands. >> we now have that image, and you know he is really taking this lawsuit seriously to make a claim like that. you are senate minority leader. kennedy: there has to be a loss. >> reporter has to write about something. >> looked like terd ferguson. >> i don't know what happened. >> you know. >> i do think that this is a situation there might be more to the story but i'm not sure i want to know. kennedy: i do. >> i will say. >> i do too. >> old saying, that you know. you should always feel sorry for man with two

"give 'em hell, harry." mr.eale: because he made a cross-country -- and, you know, he had done that before, once when the prendergast machine had gotten him elected in missouri, and they fell apart, and he ran again on his own. he did, 1940. and he went out and spoke to people and got in front of courthouses and everything and won it on his own personality. so he must have had enormous personality as a stumper, as they say, on stump speeches. absolutely. ms. anslover: he was not a great orator. we don't look at truman's speeches the same way we look at lincoln's speeches. but they say that in a small group and small crowds, he could win anyone over, and he did. ms. swain: how important was the whistle-stop tour of the campaign? ms. anslover: hugely. mr. seale: it got him elected, brought him to the people. absolutely. ms. swain: and what was media coverage like at that time? mr. seale: well, it was radio and print, you know? and movietones, as we saw... ms. anslover: and they stopped polling. dewey was so far ah

mr. harris: the bill's called the highway bill, the transportation bill, so what are some of the programs covered under this highway bill? guest: as you mentioned there are highway and transit programs covered by this. it would renew the spending authority for those programs. but also included is an extension for positive train control technology. so this is an ty derailment, an -- anti-derailment, anti-collision safety technology that railroads currently have a december 31 deadline to implement. but the majority of railroads have said they will not be able to meet that deadline and so congress is acting to extend it for them and tacking that provision onto this highway extension. host: the train control was a factor in that may amtrak crash in philadelphia. how long is the delay and is it also likely to be a part of any long term transportation bill? guest: right. so the extension is a three-year extension. the measure that passed out of the house would include the potential for an additional two years for railroads that are especially challenged. the senate had a similar p.t.c. extensio

harris? >> chairman mccain, mr. reed, it's my honor to appear before this committee. i'm pleased to be here to discuss the asia pacific maritime security strategies. the united states is a maritime nation. the important of the region to our nation's security prosperity cannot be overstated. almost 30% of the maritime trade, over $5 trillion, transits the south china sea annually. this includes $1.2 trillion in ship born trade bound for the united states. the asia pacific region is critical for our nation's economic future. for decades this region has remained free from major conflicts alas vegas the united states and other nations, including china to enjoy the benefits of its vast spaces. however, the security environment is changing. potentially placing the stability at risk. rapid economic and military modernization and a growing demand for resources have increased the potential for conflict. freedom of navigation is under pressure. if not handled properly, territorial and maritime disputes could disrupt stability throughout the region. claimants to disputed areas u

mr. cub, ira harris here. we were looking for a broom. in chicago you can't even buy a broom today. way i see it. mr. meyer in his restaurants and no tipping gives us a glimpse as to how economics in a free market society just the intelligence there isn't what it used to be. now what do you see when you see that there's no tipping? >> listen, i know that it's going to show up on your bill. >> of course it is. >> because we're going to pay the way. >> this is a sensitive issue for me. my daughter is a chef at a high line restaurant. you're going to pay for the help. >> absolutely. as a matter of fact, everybody on the restaurant side, i have no problem with it, i think they work very hard, but people like you and i are probably going to throw a little extra tip. the other part of the tip's built into the check. that's the way it is. >> yeah. >> now let's talk about central planning, central banking and the fact that you can't get a ten year under 2%. what do you think? >> well, again -- >> at least for now. >> we've talked about this for five years already. i know that they've broken

mr. harris of maryland, mrs. hartzler of missouri, mrs. love of utah.he speaker pro tempore: under the speaker's announced policy of january 6, 2015, the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas, mr. gohmert, for 30 minutes. mr. gohmert: thank you, mr. speaker. interesting day, interesting week. and i was in here listening to the colloquy between our majority leader mccarthy and the minority whip and i heard my good friend, very intelligent, clever, witty friend from maryland, mr. hoyer indicate republicans bring us to the brink time and time again talking about i guess the debt ceiling. and sometimes it's just good to stop from the rhetoric here and the lines like bringing us to the brink and really good to look at the history of the situation is. ecause you know, for 40 years, until newt gingrich led with the contract of america, republicans captured the majority in the house and senate for the first time in 40 years, the democrats kept bringing us to the brink, didn't matter who was in the white house, the democratic congress brought us to the brink

when harry reid was majority leader, the ryan-murray budget agreement, which was a flawed agreement, an agreement i voted against, increased spending by $63 billion over two years. now, mr. president, what does it say to you that a supposedly republican majority of the united states senate negotiates a bigger spending bill than harry reid and the democrats? when harry reid and the democrats were in charge of this body, they jacked up spending on our debt $63 billion. when the republicans take charge, ooh, baby, we can do it better, some $85 billion. not only that, this deal's not content with spending increases. it also takes the debt ceiling and essentially hands president obama a blank credit card. it says to the president, you can add whatever debt you like for the remainder of your team with no constraint from this body. we are abdicating any and all congressional authority over the debt that is bankrupting our kids and grandkids. now, you and i both campaigned telling the citizens of nebraska, telling the citizens of texas that if we were elected, we would fight with every breath in our body to stop the spending and debt that is bankrupting our kids and grandkids.

harris: what i wonder from you, mr. speaker, is this, we get all geared up.e can't wait to watch these things. they are events like super bowls now politically speaking but are they all that important? because we saw carly fiorina break it, bust out the first two debates and then fade away in the polling? these big moments for ted cruz, marco rubio, what do they really mean? >> first of all, if you get your big moment, then you have to build own your big moment. i think one of carly's challenges is, as smart as she is, she hasn't figured out the theme mattic that would keep her growing. if you don't keep growing then you slide. by the way on trump, i actually think he did something very smart. trump for the last week or so has been way too brittle. talking about seventh day adventists, whining in iowa, why don't you love me anymore. that was embarrassing. i like donald, i think he is pretty smart. best thing he can do, calm down, let people get used to him being in the room without being dominant. he didn't suffer any hits. at the end of the evening was doing

mr. speaker, i join his family, his friends, his fellow servicemen in mourning his life, yet celebrating the life of this young hero, senior air manquin johnson harris. i thank you mr. speaker and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from nevada seek recognition? the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. s. titus: thank you. without congressional action, medicare premiums and deductibles will increase in 2016 by 52% for an estimated $7 -- for an estimated 7.5 million american seniors and people with disabilities. because these folks will not be receiving a social security cost of living adjustment for 2016, 30% of beneficiaries will not be held harmless and their premiums will increase from $104 to $159 per month. to stop rates from increase, i've introduced the medicare premium fairness act which will protect seniors and people with disabilities by capping premiums at 2015 levels for a year. i urge my colleagues to join me in co-sponsoring this important legislation. seniors and our -- seniors in our communities worked hard all their lives and saw our country th

mr. chairman. and thank you, admiral harris and ambassador scherer for all you do. thank you for being here to answer our questions. admiral harris, you said that we need to ratify the law of the sea treaty in order to acquire some type of moral high ground particularly relative to russia and china. i'm having a hard time seeing why it is that a country that -- like the united states, that has used its power, its blood and its treasure, to protect navigation all over the world for 200 years, has to in order to gain some moral high ground ratify this particular treaty. can you help me understand that? >> sure, senator. the lack of signing the treaty doesn't affect our ability to be the strongest nation on the earth. but the lack of signing that treaty puts us at a disadvantage in discussions with most of the other countries in the world that have signed the treaty and moral standing, if you will. so, we lose nothing by signing -- signing off on the treaty. but we lose a lot by not signing it. >> and what is the "it" that we lose? and part of what i'm asking in connec

mr. president, may god bless airman johnson harris's loved ones. may he guard all those in our armed forces who defend our nation's liberty and may god bless america. i yield the floor and note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk shall call the roll. quorum call: a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from kansas. mr. moran: mr. president, thank you very much. i ask the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. moran: mr. president, i spoke a few moments ago on the senate floor and i was -- as i was leaving, i was made aware of an article in which the minority leader, senator reid, was quoted and i wanted to come highlight something i want my colleagues to hear and know. and what the senator from nevada indicated was -- the article begins, "having secured the goal of getting a budget deal addressing the debt ceiling and sequestration cuts," the article says that democrats are now looking forward to the appropriations process. and as an appropriator, so am i. i'm inte

mr. brashov. i overslept this morning and never got out to deliver them. - victor, say hello to harry. - how do you do ? do well. thank you very much. harry's president of our senior citizen's group. yeah. jess told me about your situation and i talked the gang into coming here for their morning coffee break. i am very happy to have you with us. please, make yourself comfortable. well, i plan to do just that. jess says you serve a great cup of coffee. your banker should be impressed when he sees this. and we'll have an upward profit curve in no time. this is a disaster ! nobody's ordering anything. what about the guy who ordered one pancake ? oh, right. last of the big spenders. the man at table one says his oatmeal is cold. it wasn't when i served it to him an hour and a half ago. jess, i'm afraid your idea is not working. - give it a chance, victor. - look. that man is sleeping and nobody eats. those two ladies are sharing an order of toast. i'm losing more money than ever. uh-oh. here comes mr. sharp pencil. - mr. who ? - a figure of speech if you know what i mean. welcome to crossroads cafe ! m

with just 46 democrats the outcome is exactly what harry reid and the democrats would want to. mr. president, business not a curious state of affairs? what is a republican majority leader fighting to accomplish the priorities of the democratic minority? we will look at one another example. the export-import bank. president obama when he was senator obama described this as a classic example of corporate welfare. over $1 billion in taxpayer-funded loan guarantees going to a handful of giant corporations predominately. and yet as we talked about before it is one thing the washington cartel is good at, it's corporate welfare. the export-import bank of how they democrats or here's a shock, only 42 democrats. not 100%. you would want to i believe bernie sanders. i were committed senator sanders are standing up against this corporate welfare. on becky and i aren't exactly the same page. and yet 42 democrats, just 20 republicans in favor of this corporate welfare, 28 republicans voted no. and yet what happened? it passed. now it's not at all clear that harry reid as democratic leader with

old age of 30, 31 almost, i guess, i went and approached president bill harris, republican and i respectfully asked him, i said, mrent, we need to have this model in the ohio senate. it is unbelievable that we can not come together and sponsor bills as dual lead sponsors across the aisle. we did not have that before i was minority leader and we still have it today. that i think is incredibly important tool for us to be able to get things done. i will give you one brief example of hard ideas. my area of expertise is health care policy. we worked very arduously to get medicaid reform done in ohio, particularly in the context of expanding medicaid to a new population after the implementation of the affordable care act. but we wanted to do it in prudent manner that would be cost effective that would improve health outcomes and control costs and so i worked together. i am also a licensed social worker. i worked together with senator dave burke, a republican pharmacist from marriesville to author medicaid reform in ohio. it was year long process and worth it and we wouldn't be able to get it done with balanced product a
