mccarthy. >> you've done enough. >> i know this hurts you. >> mr. vice president mccarthy, i will not discus this farther with you. you have sat within six feet of me and koild have asked me about fred fisher. you have seemed fit to bring it out. and if there is a god in heaven, it will do neither you noer your cause any good. republicans lost the senate in 1954. and they did by a vote of i think 67-22. and all the people voted for him were republicans. and that was the end of him, pretty much. at the end of the trail there was never anybody in the government that they could prove was a card-carrying communist. mccarthy had lost his base. and he kind of faded away. this was a man who needed con stant attention. when he walked in a room, he wanted to be noticed. without that, he lost something of himself. he began to drink more heavily. and he actually was dead within 7 years of wheeling. he was 48 years of age. he died of cirrhosis of the liver. his body shut down because of the heavy drinking. it was not a good impact on the country. >> we are in th

mr. mccarthy. i go back many years with you when you and i guess started out at the national catholic reporter. when you were the conservative voice up against john leo who was then a liberal. now he is the conservative and year the liberal. so there is a god. i'd like to ask you, are you disappointed and even justifiably angry at the catholic church is not a pacifist church. there's never been a pope who encourages catholics not to go into the military. they now supply chaplains and notre dame has the biggest rotc program in the country. do you think it will ever happen that the catholic church will be a pacifist church as are the mennonites the quakers and others and what do you think? >> did people hear that question? all christians should be pacifist. all reasonable people should be pacifists. paul the sixth said no more war. many popes have said no more war. this pope is now saying no holy war ever but that doesn't get back down to the actual performance of christians and for good reasons. pop

mr. mccarthy as an explorer at lasalle university. good luck, young man. can i get a doo katy?u can. >> let's go union that's what it is all about. >> good luck. >> erika? >> thanks, ukee. we're remembering long time philadelphia sports columnist stan hochman this morning. daily news tells us hochman passed away yesterday after recent illness. this is the front page of today's daily news. hochman started as phillies beat write nerve 1959. covered all sports in list career including championships for the flyers, phillies, sixers and villanova's wildcats. stan hochman was 86 years old. >> loved his columns. loved his commentary, good man. >> our eye is on some storms headed our way today. >> katie is updating the forecast. traffic and weather together on the 3's. >> and the wait is over, apple watch just went on sale few hours ago. we'll tell you what you need to know if you want to get your hand on one. we'll do that on the other side. back in a bit. jim kenney. son of a firefighter. first in his family to go to college. he's been councilman at-large, representing the whole city

mr. mccarthy: thank you mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman for yielding. first off, i will not be long. i nouveau a number of members who want -- i know you have a number of members who want to speak for this bill. i want to thank chairman hensarling for the good work he and his committee, who have been working throughout not only this bill but numerous bills this week, this whole week the house will be voting on bills to promote a healthier economy. preserve consumer choice and help people become financially independent. you know mr. speaker it's an ironic thing here in washington when some laws that are passed hurt more than they actually help. i truly think everyone in this body wants to do what is best for the american people. but that's not how things always turn out. there are some in this body who whenever a problem comes around their gut reaction is to add more regulations, cost and red tape. for some reason, they think paperwork can solve all of our problems. and that's exactly what happened with dodd-frank. washington tried to solve a problem by regulating the big guys. but al

mr. evan mccarthy. >> good morning, i love you so much.e been a fan of this franchise since i was in high school. i remember i was in a movie theater and i would go see it after my shifts. they made over $2 billion at the world wise box office. and the chronological order of those story lines is. the one takes place after the third movie. but this movie is absolutely insane, over the top, and everything about the action is great. it is also great emotional core to the film. you care for the characters. there is a action scene where the cars are sky diving out of the plane. they had stunt guys go in cars out of airplanes and the actors went on a blue screen and did the flips. we all know about paul walker who tragically passed away in thirty 2013. they brought walker's brothers who look just like him to help finish shooting the movie. i spoke to vin diesel about what they hope to take away from the film. >> in the last year i have cried more than i ever cried in my life. i didn't know that tears could be that readily accessible. i hope that

mr. mccarthy. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman, the majority leader, mr. mccarthy is recognized. mr. mccarthy: i want to take a moment to thank the chairman. he's done a tremendous job. he's brought another budget to the floor that balances but he's done something no one has done in six years. he's brought a bicameral budget. that's something that we shouldn't just take for granted. something that the house and senate couldn't do for quite some time, and your leadership has been tremendous. to my friends on the other side, you make a lot of debate. i look forward to hearing them. i'm thankful this time you have more democrats on the floor than you did a couple of weeks ago, that's helpful. it's helpful for a debate and this is the place we should have it. two weeks ago i was on this floor to talk about our budget. and i said that a budget is a vision for the future. it sets out your priorities but also shows your values. well for the first time in six years, the house and senate have gotten together, worked out our differences and drafted a bicameral budget. this budget shows ame

mccarthy. >> the reason mr. gladstone is not represent you. >> i don't think it is necessary. >> and in regards to the advisement it says our opening up in 2015 a not going to open we don't have no plans until it is approved by the planning. >> so basically this advisement we intend to open up as a residential if we get planning approval? okay >> any other questions. >> if you're finished we'll hear from the department one last time anything else ms. rosemary. >> what is it you want us to do. >> i want to have this abatement either removed or pit on hold you know the abatement of the building. >> okay. let's talk about it. >> what - >> what are the options here i need to hear from the city attorney and as of right now the order of abatement will be held in abeyance so you'll continue to hold it if awe abstinence or order it be issued. >> any comments from the commissioners commissioner walker. >> yeah. i understand that there is frustration with this process at the planning department but this is not what we're

mr. mccarthy: to get to your first point -- mr. carter: to get to your first point, we're conducting operations that are designed to lead ultimately to a political settlement to yemen. and that is our runsing and our objective and that -- that's why we're working so closely with the saudis, as the chairman indicated, general austin's been in riyadh earlier today. we're working closely with them both on the military objectives and the political objective. general dempsey: on the russian rhetoric about the missile defense system, this goes back a very long time and we have channels that remain active in getting together with the russians and laying out the intentions the capabilities of the -- of the air defense system as a way of trying to assure them that is not being built against them. and we've done this for several years. most of the time we agree to disagree but the rhetoric is unsurprising i suppose. and those channels remain open as they do for dealing with things like unprofessional or reckless intercepts and this intercept

mr. mccarthy: mr. speaker, at 7:22 this morning, 150 years ago, we lost one of the greatest leaders of our nation. president abraham lincoln. lincoln understood americans' exceptionalism. we know this for many reasons but one great reason was his words at gettysburg. he told the crowd that our fathers have brought forth on this continent a new nation. one conceived in liberty and dedicated the proposition that all men are created equal. it was his vision that this nation would have a new berth of freedom and for that beautiful vision, many have fought and died. president lincoln understood the costs of freedom. he was a member of this, the people's house. for one term. before he rose to become what i believe was one of our greatest statesmen. he struggled and never gave up to pass the 13th amendment. so that no one here would ever again have to endure the sin of slavery. and he died for the dream that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness would finally become more than just words. that it would be

mccarthy is a puppet. got a bee guest pgh (by mr. 123 ) i quoted the part of the will that i can never get over because he kind of pride that i have the weirdest upbringing of anyone i know. >> 17 years ago romance returned unexpectedly. >> i just thought i trust this man completely. and by dessert i was sort of in his pocket. >> in june of 2000 married marshal rose. in 2004 she returned to television in another hit "boston legal." then two years later she suffered two small strokes. how do you know when you're having a stroke? >> i was nauseous then when i got up i had no equilibrium, i was lurching, i couldn't stand up straight. >> lingering effects? >> no. i for a few weeks there were. right now i could suddenly just keel over. >> are you thinking about mortality? >> are you kidding? of course. sure. i have a target age i'd like to get to. >> what is that number? >> i was thinking 88. but because anything past 88 seemed really greed de. >> candice bergen is not in denial about aging. or anything else. you begin one chapter of your book "let me say it straight out, i'm fat." >> basically i just love eat

mr. president think he, administrator mccarthy. and my thanks to all of you who joined us to today. we had a really enriching conversation today talk about the impact of climate change on public health from a number of different perspectives. it was very helpful to us. i'd like to expand a little on what the president said in speak a little bit more about the relevance of climate change to clinicians and patients. we know that climate change means higher teachers overall and it also means longer and hotter heat waves. we also know that higher temperatures can mean worst air in cities and more smog and more of his own. we know that more intense wildfires will mean increased smoke in the air. and we know that earlier springs and longer summers mean longer allergy seasons. if you put all of this together this means that we have more people exposed to triggers that can cause asthma attacks, and more asthma attacks me more days of school missed. they mean more days of work missed. they mean more costly trips to the doctor. and the most importantly mean more scary moments for parents and
