mr. stevens made a remark that i fully agree with.oo would be concerned if we 2%come a country with a minus growth rate, reminiscent of the early 1930's. my questioning goes to the , when there was a presentation of statistics that the negativity that is felt towards our potential candidates for president. over the past 30-40 years, we have seen a diminishing percentage of our citizens voting. are we going to continue to see that? and if so, is it that i real threat to the democracy? actually we haven't seen a diminution sense 1972. there is a good reason why it dropped, is because 18-year-olds got the vote, and they still don't use it. the real changes in the electorate, other than increasing numbers of residents, since 2008, turnout has been higher than it as ever been. yet it hasn't resulted in changing this conflict. one thing that concerns me, you look at the public opinion polls and see that voters have much more extreme views then nonvoters. it seems obvious that you should give some of the nonvoters to vote. the evidence shows

mr. stevens made a remark that i fully agree with. i too would be concerned if we become a country with a minus 2% growth rate, reminiscent of the early 1930's. my questioning goes to the opening remarks when there was a presentation of statistics that the negativity that is felt towards our potential candidates for president. over the past 30-40 years, we have seen a diminishing percentage of our citizens voting. are we going to continue to see that? and if so, isn't that a real threat to the democracy? >> actually we haven't seen a diminution of percentage of citizens voting since 1972. there is a good reason why it dropped, is because 18-year-olds got the vote, and they still don't use it. once you factor that in the real , changes in the electorate, other than increasing numbers of noncitizen residents who cannot participate since 2008, turnout , has been higher than it as ever been. it looks like it will stay there but it hasn't resulted in diminution of this conflict. one thing that concerns me, you do look at public opinion pol

mr. stevens just made a remark that i fully agree with. i.t. would be very concerned if we become a country with a minus 2% growth rate reminiscent of their early 30s in the late 20s elsewhere. my question goes to the opening remarks when there is the of some statistics about the negativity that is felt towards our potential candidates for president. over the past 30, 40 years, we have seen a diminishing percentage of our citizens voting. are we going to continue to see that? and if so, is that a real threat to the democracy? >> actually, we haven't seen a diminishing since 1972 and is a good reason why a drop in 1972 and 18-year-olds got the vote and still don't use it. once you factor that in, the real changes have been increasing numbers of noncitizen residents who cannot participate. since 2008, turnout has been high, higher than it has ever been. it looks like it's going to stay there, yet it hasn't really resulted in kind of a diminishing of this conflict. one of the things that concerns me is the lack of public opinion polls and see that

steven dine ma'am. stephen, it doesn't sound like the voters are too convinced. >> not good news. worse news for mrs. clinton. you saw at least voters thought or majority of voters thought that trump might try and then fail. the majority of voters say they don't even think hillary clinton is going to try and cush wall street. you know, the promises aren't exactly the same. they aren't exactly comparable. still, that's not good when people don't even think what you are saying on the campaign trail you have any intention of even trying to do. >> david? >> i consistently meet voters that are supporters of donald trump that know he is not going to be able to do all these things. they realize it i mean, they're not stupid. i think they are attracted to trump and, you can say the same thing about hillary supporters are attracted to her for a persona. right? presidential elections are not about issues. they're about attitudes. and i think that's what they are gravitating toward. >> are you suggesting it's more like -- are you for the packers or the bears? >> yeah, it's about branding. it's more about brandi

mr. choudery. in fact, isis has murdered at least 23 reporters, among them james foley and steven socklov.ow do you explain that people are fleeing the islamic state? despite documented evidence of 10s of thousands of people desperately fleeing isis, choudery claims are there are actually more arriving. >> the people are coming into the islamic state. we have photos of christians coming back to mosul. you don't show those because it doesn't fit your agenda. >> reporter: and then the flood gates open with the reasons why he says he hates us. >> freedom of expression, freedom of religion. they sound very nice but where's the freedom for people in guantanamo bay. did you hold that up as an example of liberty and democracy? the american way? the american life? george bush flushed them down the toilet. >> but the united states intervened in bosnia to protect muslims. it has intervened in afghanistan and is supporting a government that has been elected twice by the afghan people. >> i think you spend too much time in the cnn world, in the real world, the people in afghanistan hate americans. >>

mr. trump and the rest of your campaign are continuing to politicize the death of ambassador stevens.ow personally that members of ambassador stevens' families are absolutely disgusted that the republicans continue to draw his name through the mud and politicize his death to score political points. it's honestly outrageous. >> but you don't think people have the right to know about her record as secretary of state. >> they absolutely do, but to continue to bring up -- to continue to bring up benghazi and throw ambassador stevens name around to score political points is beyond the pale. never saw that happen when al qaeda attacked the world trade centers under george w. bush. nobody said george w. bush is responsible for the death of 3,000 americans. we'll hold him personally responsible in the way of personal attacks the republicans and mr. trump are doing to hillary clinton. completely outrageous and the other point you talk about hard working americans. where are the hard working americans' jobs going to go when donald trump gives $3 trillion in tax breaks to millionaires and 2 tril

. >>> steven dennison smith has a question. >> mr.arage, you have maintained that wages are kept low by uncontrolled immigration in the uk, and if we leave the eu, one of the benefits will be that wages rise. >> yes. wirchlts wouldn't it be so that increased wages will make us less competitive globally, and is it far better we allow wages to rise because we have a stronger economy in europe and artificially restrict the pot -- and boost labor rates that way? >> what we have done is artificially given or labor market a situation where there's been a dramatic oversupply. that has driven down the cost of labor. that's just simple market forces. indeed, they have backed up the fact that the people on average salaries their living standards are 10% lower than they were in 2008. >> if i can come back to you on that, what i say is just artificially jacking -- the cost environment in the uk up by restricting labor supply -- the problem you've got is that you've seen traditional industries move to other parts of the world to lower cost manufac

mr. chairman there is an old line from 1776 where steven hopkins said i've never heard, seen, smelled an issue that is worth talking about. hell yes i'm for debating. the information could be vital and it could be helpful and for that i endorse and support this amendment. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back. mr. byrne: i reserve. the chair: the gentleman from alabama reserves. the gentleman from arizona. mr. grijalva: continue to reserve. the chair: the gentleman from alabama. mr. byrne: well, i listened to the gentleman's comments and i got to tell you if there's enough in this bill for the reporting, why did the treasury not say that to us? they didn't say that to us because they know there needs to be a report done. they just don't want to take the responsibility for doing it, so i think this amendment is definitely necessary to make sure we're doing our job to provide our constitutional responsibility, and i reserve. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from arizona. mr. grijalva: continue to reserve. the chair: the gentleman from alabama. mr. byrne: i'm re

witness today seated at the table, is steven goss, chief actuary social security administrati administration. please proceed. >> thank you very much, chairman janis, mr. becerra, members of the committee for the opportunity to come talk to you about this, the 76th consecutive annual report from the board of trustees about the finances of this program. closer. sorry. okay. the statements by the chairman and the ranking member have already done a great job talking about what this program is. the 60 million people that it's currently serving. that's 1 in 6 americans are receiving a benefit from this program. 49 million of them from the old age survivors insurance. 11 million of them from the disability insurance. in 2015 the program paid out $866 billion in benefits to americans. 743 billion of that to the oesi side and 143 billion on the d.i. side. the asset reserves as mentioned are at $2.81 trillion now for the combined oesi and d.i. trust funds. that's an increase of $23 billion over what they had been at the beginning of the year, 2015. those asset reserves now stand at three times the cost of the program, which is actually above what has oftentime

stevens, what she did with him was absolutely horrible. he was left helpless to die as hillary clinton soundly slept in her bed. >> mr. speaker, you can argue about how hillary clinton handled benghazi, but the fact is the attack happened at 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon in washington. she was working late into the night. as i say, there is plenty to attack her on, but why not stick to the facts? >> different people say different things about what she did and what her instructions were. >> she wasn't asleep, is the point. >> she certainly -- >> maybe she should have been, but she wasn't. >> i think a lot of things people can argue trump says and people can argue about what hillary says. there were over 600 requests for security from libya. that number came from the chair on of the intelligence committee, not donald trump. they were ignored. in the end there was no effective effort to respond. the fact is she lied about why it occurred. you have families of the people killed who say she lied. this is the debate they won't win because on the larger framing of the debate the country will be with trump. >> that doesn't me

steven blevins, suffering the effects of having gone off his medication, has been continuously pounding the walls of his cell at the spring creek correctional facility in alaska for more than an hour. >> mr. blevins, we need you to come over here and cuff up. >> [ bleep ]. >> with blevins refusing orders to cuff up, it's up to the prison's special response team to forcefully remove him from his cell so that he can be given his medication. first, they attempt to subdue him with pepper spray. >> mr. blevins, cuff up. >> the burning spray eventually brings compliance. >> ah! >> blevins is removed from his cell and sedated. he is strapped into a restraint chair and watched until he no longer poses a threat to himself. >> mr. blevins, do you have any injuries you want to report? no? >> never crossed my mind one time other than to tell someone that i'm not interested in doing it. you know? >> today, spring creek staff uses medication and therapy to help blevins serve his 45-year sentence. >> even though he's done a horrible double murder, he's still a person and he has to have some kind of human contact. so what i try to focus on is just a relationship. we try to be alert to prisoners' mental

. >> steven denison smith has another question. >> mr. farage, you maintain wages are kept low by uncontrolled immigration in the u.k. and if we leave the eu one of the benefits will be the wages will rise. wouldn't it be increased wages will make us less competitively globally? isn't it better to let wages rise because of the strong economy than artificially restrict the supply of labor? >> what we have done is artificially given our labor market a situation since 2004-2005 where there is a dramatic oversupply. that has driven down the cost of labor. ... he was asked if britain leaves the eu and has a work permit system for foreign workers, wouldn't wages go up and he said yes but i don't think think that would be a good thing. here's something you have is more to this country, more about our community than just being competitive. >> i'm sorry sir, why would we open up our doors to flood our labor market and see some of the finest. >> but if we need so many to mop up behind us, if you need to double the cost of that kind of work, what ar

mr. xi is probably not going to be very happy about it. natalie. >> the complexities of this vote are mind-boggling as far as globally, are they not? steveni want to ask you about the meeting between these two. the second time within the week. what are they really trying to accomplish from the bilateral meeting? >> reporter: that's right. they actually just met earlier this week, and now they are meeting here again. there you have quite an ambitious agenda both politically and economically. politicalically i think both countries feel increasing western pressures on different issues. for the russians, it's the ukraine issue. it's been isolated by the eu and the u.s. since its an exation of crime mia in 2014. for china, it's the south china sea. as you know, it's increasingly locked in a heated dispute with its neighbors over competing territorial complains and it feels the west and the u.s. have been unfairly treating their position. so the two probably want each other's support to shore up their case internationally. economically, both economies are facing challenges, and so russia of course is facing continued european sanctions, and the
