[ laughter ] it was a big show. it was a strange show. daft punk won five grammy awards. neither one of these guys ever showed his face. by the way, this is how the robots will enslave us. first they take our grammys. and then they take our freedom. [ laughter ] how do we even know that was daft punk? i mean, it could have been anybody in an outfit. i don't believe daft punk even exists, to tell you the truth.

mr. reid: and i a pay-for that was originally discovered by paul ryan. mr. durbin: after the democrats came up with the pay-for, the first demand of the senate republicans to stop their filibuster, did the senate republicans then join us in calling this measure for passage? mr. reid: my friend repeat the question. mr. durbin: as we came up with a pay-for, that the senate republicans insisted on, did they stop their senate republican filibuster on unemployment benefits and allow us to move afford? mr. reid: no. mr. durbin: i'd like to ask the senate leader, it is my understanding that the republicans came up with a new demand that they be allowed to offer new amendments to the unemployment insurance package before they would drop their senate republican filibuster that was stopping unemployment benefits for 1 .4 million americans. mr. reid: that is true. and the biggest advocate we had for that on this side of the aisle was the whip, the senior senator from illinois. mr. durbin: i'd like to ask the majority leader this question: is it not true yesterday that

it was the same thing that we used in the murray-ryan budget agreement that this body supported just a few weeks ago. so, mr. president, totally paid for, was somethin with somethinl ryan suggested and we adopted just a short period of time -- a short time ago. it makes structural reforms they said they wanted. maybe not all of them but it made structural reforms. it's hard to understand why they can't take "yes" for an answer. maybe it's because they don't want the legislation passed. it's possible, huh? but i haven't given up, mr. president. i had discussions with a number of republican colleagues this evening and they said they're going to try to come up with something else. i certainly hope that's the case. we need to understand that there's 1.4 million americans hurting and it's hard for me to comprehend why something that meets the outlines of what we understood they wanted isn't good enough. now, maybe they don't like it because it doesn't give them an opportunity to -- well, i with dra that --withdraw that today. i think we've had enough talk here today. i'm not go to add with that. what i want to c

who was ryan's youth pastor and watched this young man grow up remembers that ryan was a kid that always served others. and, mr. president, i think it's clear that as an adult, a husband, a father and an airman, ryan's commitment to serving others only grew stronger. we in the united states senate are thinking today of ryan austin's loved ones, including his wife jessica, his son brayden, his father doug, his brothers nathan austin and dillon wall, his sister rachel austin and many beloved family members and friends. ryan was laid to rest next to his mother, karen long. i would like ryan's family to know that the united states senate honors sergeant ryan d. austin's life of service. we're saddened by this very tragic loss, and we are grateful for his supreme sacrifice which reminds us of the meaning of valor. finally, mr. president, i wish to speak briefly on a tragedy that happened this morning in kentucky. news reports are still developing, but we do know that a large house fire occurred in greenville, which is in mul mulenberg county in western kentucky. fire official reports say multiple lives were lost in

mr patrick. several people dead many more injured and even kidnapped how far ryan is ready to go here. well i mean this looks like a dreadful crisis obviously the rioters have been in situ occupying the center of ukraine for some time they've been in kiev they've been trying to push forward their agenda by any possible means including force and tragically when you get into these sorts of situations where they've excel or it'd like this it's incredibly difficult to deflate them easily i come from belfast originally in northern ireland and i've seen the sort of damage that you can have from these sorts of terrorist incidents the terrible tragic problem is that people who wanted to originally express a democratic complaint against the government have knowledge seeing their protests effectively go down in flames because of course the violent extremist hinges have affectively desecrated their message and we're left with a situation where they're trying to hold ukraine to ransom yesterday one of the opposition leaders at the time said the president was a no position to council a meeting whic

mr. republicans? just listen to failed vice presidental candidate paul ryan. >> if you raise the price of these entry level jobs, they'll be fewer of them. it is bad economics and you're hurting the people you're trying to help. minorities in the inner city, young people, elderly people. >> the guy from wisconsin views it differently from the guy in minnesot minnesota. the guy who has never met payroll is telling the guy who does payroll you're really hurting your employees. there is a reason this guy lost the election. they are disconnected from real workers in the country. paul ryan is not an honest broker. senator tom harkin of iowa had no problem calling out the truth about paul ryan. >> that's not the truth. i mean, every time i hear that from ryan or one of those guys on the house side, i say put the proof out there. show us some documentation. that's totally false. every time we have raised the minimum wage it has not cost us jobs. it's raised more jobs in our society and it gets people out of poverty. >> show us the numbers. you go out there and you spew this stuff about it is going to cost j

ryan and marci, back to you. >>> and our major story this morning, the president's state of the union address. mr. obama sets off on a four-state trip today trying to sell the priorities that he put forth in that speech. >> with more on what the president had to say we are joined by abc's mary bruce in washington. mary. >> reporter: good morning. well, after what was a brutal year for the president, he tried to bounce back last night outlining a downsize but perhaps more practical agenda as he tries to sidestep that logjam in congress. with just three years left president obama worked to convince americans he can still get things done in a broken washington. >> let's make this a year of action. >> reporter: after what was arguably the worst year of his presidency, the president tried to turn the tide telling lawmakers seeking to obstruct his agenda that he will act with or without them. >> america does not stand still and neither will i. >> reporter: there were no new grand legislative proposals but a promise to make government work on behalf of all americans. >> opportunity is who we are, and the

mr. williams in exchange for what i believe was his personal friendship and his generosity. >> joining me now is ryan grim and michael steel. ryan, let's start with this goody bag. i don't think a bag is big enough to fit everything governor mcdonnell got. the brazenness, the shamelessness of this behavior is breathtaking. in this day and age, i think it is hard to take away the american public's breath. on june 1st 2011, he purchased 6,000 shares of star scientific. she spoke glowingly of that company at a promotional event. did ethics never appear on their screen? >> ethics appeared because she knew at the end of year she had to make an ethics filing, so he reached out to her broker to try to figure out ways she could get rid of this stock, which she knew was shady before january 1st. and the broker, even, was uncomfortable with what he was being asked to do and she did discard most of it to her children on december 31st and kept less than $10,000 for herself. ethics did come up. she did know what she was doing there and actually tried to fudge it for a little while. >> chairman steel, that seems t

mr. president, i ask consent that ryan orgera, a sea grant fellow in my office, be granted floor privileges for the duration of the flood insurance bill. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. nelson: mr. president, i want to speak about the flood insurance bill, and i am speaking with a smile on my face because i believe we have the 60 votes to break the filibuster so we can get to the bill. and i would hope that if we exceed that 60-vote threshold that indeed those that have been trying to torpedo this bill would then, instead of stringing us out all week making us go through all the parliamentary procedure, if we have the votes, let's get it passed. the problem is going to be down at the other end of that hallway, because the speaker of the house has already said that he doesn't like it, but what he's going to find out that he doesn't like is a lot of the members of the house of representatives whose constituents are facing tenfold increases in their flood insurance because of something that was tacked on to a transportation bill that was a year ago. and thus, biggert-

and have offered a very similar amendment when the murray-ryan bill moved through the senate and i think it's something that we need to work on. mr. sessions: look, we're not talking about as much as we should now. it's -- it's gone down a little bit, the talk, but our deficit situation is still very, very grim. we now have a current debt of $17 trillion. that's unprecedented in the history of the united states. it's doubled in recent years. it's the kind of deficits we've never seen before in -- and it's something we've got to address. mr. j.t. young in "the washington times," former member of the department of treasury, i believe, in the bush administration, former staffer on the budget committee, wrote though that what we're seeing in our budgeting is a tip of the iceberg. the interest payments we're making now, some $250 billion or so a year on the $17 trillion that we owe, is a tip of the iceberg. because if interest rates return to their 40-year average, we're going to see a dramatic increase on interest payments on that debt. when we say we have $17 trilli $17 trillion, we're talking about money the united states governmen

mr. chairman. >> thank you. and thank you for mentioning entencing, what senator durbin and lee and paul and ryan and others, whong together to try to get something that not only makes sense but can pass. the old one-size-fits-all, we realize, one, it doesn't make us safer, two, it doesn't deter crime. but, three, it means we're spending a huge amount of money on things that don't make us better and takes money away from good law enforcement that we need. last week the privacy and civil liberties oversight board issued a report that concluded the n.s.a.'s phone records program should end and i agree with that. for the recommendations, you and the director of national intelligence will develop in the coming months, but executive action is not enough. i think congress has to act to ensure that this legal theory, that's what i consider legal theory, is not used by any administration to spy on its zones. -- citizens. now, d.o.j.'s current interpretation of relevance in section 215 could allow the government to acquire virtually any database that might someday down the road for some reason, somehow, find useful. firs

mr. obama put forth a modest call to action to increase the minimum wage to immigration reform. karen travers joins us with the details from capitol hill. good morning, karen. >> reporter: good morning, ryandeclared the state of the union is strong, but last night it was a very realistic speech. the president is the most politically weak he's been since he took office. and last night his remarks and his goals reflected that. president obama trying to convince a skeptical nation that he still has the political power to get something done. >> let's make this a year of action. >> reporter: the president proposed a modest agenda. no major legislation. no sweeping change. but it centered on one key theme -- >> opportunity is who we are. and the defining project of our generation must be to restore that promise. >> reporter: 2013 was a bruising year here in washington. capped by the 16-day government shutdown. approval ratings for the president and congress hover near record lows. the president said he'll take action, even if it means doing it without congress. >> wherever and whenever i can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more american families, that's what i'm going t

mr. president, and colleagues, this is a question before us now. do we adhere to the spending limits congress passed, promised less than a month ago? or do we break the ryan-murray limits like we broke the budget control act limits in the -- in the -- will we do so in the first bill that comes before the congress this year? this is not a vote on unemployment benefits. when i'm able to make the budget point of order -- and i plan to do so -- it's not about unemployment benefits when we vote on the budget point of order. it's a vote on whether we uphold the spending limits we agreed to or whether we violate those limits in the first spending bill since this congress took session this year. this is about the integrity of this institution. in 2011, we passed the budget control act and promised to spend a certain amount of money and that amount only. but when the spending discipline proved too tough, congress has backed down and agreed to a new, looser spending limits under ryan-murray. that was just a few weeks ago before -- just before christmas. and now here we are on the first spending bill of the year and our democratic majority is proposing to bust the r

ryan, 22% of the children in that county are living in poverty. we still have vast inequality, income inequality, we have unlivable wages and we still have members of this body, mr. speaker, who want to chip away at that very economic security. it almost seems like today it's not a war on poverty but sometimes it seems like there's a war on the war on poverty, that we're actually stepping backwards from the very improvements we made over the years from 1960. in fact, what we noticed that just happened was not extending of the benefits, unemployment emergency benefits back in december, on december 28. it's affected 1.3 million americans. not only do we have issues like that, but we also have an attack on food stamps where this very body has voted to cut $39 billion from the snap program, the supplemental nutrition assistance program. $39 billion affecting millions and millions of americans. now, we've seen attempts to not allow us to raise the minimum wage, a minimum wage that's entirely behind where it should be. if you took into consideration where it should be just for inflation from 1968, that minimum wage in 2013 dollars would be at $10.60, not $7.25. $10.60

ryan's pay-for and with structural changes? or are they going to change their back on people who are desperate? mr. coats: madam president, could i ask the majority leader to yield for just one question. you just said this body gets nowhere without -- by offering amendment. does this mean that throughout this year it's worthless, meaningless for republicans to offer any amendments to any bill to try to make improvement or to try to have their voice heard or the voice of the people i represent in indiana heard on this floor? mr. reid: madam president, my friend from indiana is one of those senators who used to be here when the good ol' times were here. we didn't have gotcha amendments there. every amendment offered, with rare exception is a gotcha amendment. that isn't what we do here. i have been waiting since monday to get pay-fors as to how we can extend unemployment benefits. they come up with stuff that doesn't even extend for three months' worth of extensions. so amendments are important, but they have to be -- mr. president, i think we have to go back to the time when senator coats was here t

mr. speaker. i rise in support of this clean short-term continuing resolution to ensure uninterrupted government services while we finish the omnibus bill. our work could not begin until passage of the murray-ryan budget agreement in december. the house and senate budget resolutions were nearly $92 billion apart. we had already suffered an unnecessary government shutdown. the december budget agreement passed with bipartisan support, gave the appropriations committee a workable number, and allowed bipartisan, bicameral negotiations to occur. and we haven't wasted a moment. our committee worked through the holidays to produce the fiscal year 2014 omnibus package. i'm delighted to report that it contains all 12 spending bills and detailed direction in all areas of discretionary spending. reaching agreement on all 12 bills was not easy, required a tremendous level of cooperation and compromise. nobody got everything they wanted. last night, chairman rogers and chairwoman mccullskey released the text of the omnibus bill and members will now have two days to review the details before the house votes. unfortunately the current continuing resolution expires at midnight on wednesday to allow -- on wedne
