mr. wyden: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, this week the senate is having yet another debate on legislation to restrict health care for women. and i'm going to take just a few minutes to talk about what this debate is really all about. the old republican slogan was a chicken in every pot. the new republican slogan is, it's a republican in every exam room. the senate has done remarkably little ledges -- legislating under the recent control of the other party, but somehow, some way there always seems to be time to have an attack on women's health care. it's come up again and again, and it's always the same basic proposition on offer. republican politicians trying to somehow squeeze themselves in between women and their physicians. my view is that the government ought to make sure that women can get health care from the doctors they trust and that politicians ought to stay out of things. roe v. wade says that's supposed to be the law of the land when it comes to access to abortion. more than four decades of settled law

>> mr. wyden, i've literally met with hundreds of world leaders and finance chairs, so seven meetings is nothing that's rare on that. >> mr. secretary, what were the meetings about? >> i was just about to finish. >> good. >> those meetings were about many important strategic issues. as it relates to holt bank, i can't comment on the specifics because that is subject to inquiry, both on the department of ofac as well as the department of justice. >> finally, let me be clear on these new loopholes that were created. you've made it out like in some way the minority was involved in this. our input was never sought in connection with this whole array of loopholes. i know, because i would have been fighting them every step of the way. thank you, mr. chairman. >> since you brought up the first issue with him, i would like to give my view of that. not to defend the secretary, but just to state where i'm coming from because i'm the instigator of some of these requests. whether it's the minority generally o

mr. wyden for the past two weeks, the president's defense team has spun bizarre legal arguments, conspiracy theories, and flat-out lies that are unbecoming of the office of the president of the united states. the country knows the facts. the president pursued his personal and political interests in a way that harmed the national security of america. he smeared our own ambassador to the ukraine. he promoted kremlin propaganda on 2016 election interference. he sent his personal lawyer and willing members of his administration to trade official acts in exchange for fabricated dirt on a political rival. he stopped $391 million in aid from going to the ukraine. and when the ukrainians made clear they were desperate for that aid to come through, he made his demands. come up with dirt on the bidens. find or invent the server. donald trump's defense team has claimed the president wanted to fight corruption in ukraine, but they have produced zero hard evidence to support that claim. never in the history

mr. wyden: thank you. well, y'all did it for me.ow we are going to south carolina to win and then we are going to take this back. i think everyone who has caucused for us, but i particularly want to thank the precinct captain, all our volunteers that are here. made all those phone calls. i plan to come back to win this state outright. know, i could not have done it without -- i want to start out, i've got to recognize a few of the congressperson's here. david titus has been incredible. [cheers and applause] mr. biden: there is a guy named horace here. you ever heard of him? that guy can campaign. know, there is a fellow from a little state called california. bill, thank you. and hilda solis. where's hilda? she was just there. maybe she is coming back. so, so, so many of you. i have to tell you what, man -- >> the comeback kid! [cheers and applause] biden: you are sending me back. we are wearing laborers out. my team stepped up in a big, big, big, big way as did a bunch of you. we've got some of the best union support, i think better

general thoughts on how this could be helpful to me and senator wyden and all the people on this committee that support our bill. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i've been delighted to work with you and ranking member wyden on this legislation. this package is reasonable, it's bipartisan. and it can help in terms of helping to control list price increases to decrease out of pocket spending by our seniors and fixing the incentive in the part d program to give the plan to negotiate hard against big pharma. i don't understand why big pharma isn't supporting it. these are important reforms. packages like this and other bipartisan efforts are important at saving senior's money, stopping list price increases and getting negotiations and i think these are some of the best reforms we can work on together. >> thank you. i'm interested in rural health care and this committee has been in the middle of that for at least three decades. it's difficult to keep high quality medical care in those environments. over the past decades i've championed landmark rural health care legislation. we've had some successes, but things change rapidly and -- well

mr. hunter biden. >> a spokesperson for the top senate democrat on the finance committee, ron wyden, saying for its partrump administration refused to comply with all democratic requests for documents and witnesses associated with impeachment. applying a blatant double standard, trump administration agencies like the treasury department are rapidly complying with senate republican requests. no subpoena is necessary, and >> ever presented for chuck grassley saying "it's strange that any senator would complain about receiving responses to oversight requests in a timely matter. even one of the house and patient managers is not so impressed. >> our law enforcement intelligence agencies have been very clear that these conspiracy series are not true they've been debunked. mission time national leaders furthering them. it jeopardizes their own national security. >> a treasury spokesman declined to comment when contacted by fox. harris? >> harris: mike, thank you very much. i'm doing now but rnc chair ronna mcdaniel. good to see you today. let's talk a little bit, if we can come about -- first let me get your r

mr. secretary we appreciate that. we don't always agree but we appreciate it nonetheless. senator grassley has already raised the issue of him and senator wydeno reduce prescription drug prices is not every day we have that consensus we have that we are encouraged by that. and then to justify the prices for their products in the day and age with other healthcare costs and then to support the bipartisan bill to reduce drug prices. >> we have been very active working with the bipartisan leadership to pass the legislation and to get that package and the other approach to get this to the past we are open to that but we are deeply engaged with the democrats and republicans on this committee to grasp this legislation. >> some of our republican colleagues that the bill would amount to price controls to jeopardize immigration and as a former ceo the drug company ceo and that drug companies can continue to innovate. >> with all respect i fundamentally disagree with the notion the penalty provisions in the grassley wyden bill is price cap or price control. these are reasonable restrictions on price increases with the financial disincentive to the year

wyden-grassley bill. we think we are with you. we think we can get there. thank you, mr. secretary. i yield back. rep. eshoo: the gentleman yields back. pleasure to recognize the gentleman from new york for his -- is it -- four minutes. >> thank you. the state of new york was extremely disappointed to hear that cms has denied the state's request for its renewal of the delivery system reform. when the program was first approved, it was insisted that new york include talk between states medicaid program that would incentivize providers to move away from fee for service toward value-based payments. new york's health care community has made progress doing just that. receiving double-digit reductions and preventable hospital readmissions while saving the federal government billions of dollars. that request for additional time and continued investment was to move closer to exactly what cms and hhs have been saying federal government wants everyone to be doing. so in light of that, why would cms and hhs want to stop supporting these successful efforts to achieve the very goals the trump administration has be

wyden's door is open. it's time for the senate to act and to deliver for the american people. i yield the floor. mr. merkley: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from oregon. mr. merkley: as united states senators, our decisions build the foundation for future generations. i want those generations to know that i stood here on the floor of this chamber fighting for equal justice under law. i stood here to defend our senate's responsibility to provide a fair trial with witnesses and documents. i stood here to say that when our president invites and pressures a foreign government to smear a political opponent and corrupt the integrity of our 2020 presidential election, he must be removed from office. as a number of my republican colleagues have confessed, the house managers have proven their case. president trump did sanction a corrupt conspiracy to smear a political opponent, former vice president joe biden. president trump assigned rudy giuliani, his personal lawyer, to accomplish that goal by arranging sham investigations by the government of ukraine. president trump advanced this co

mr. wyden: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from oregon. mr. wyden: i want to thank the vice chair of the intelligence committee and pick up on his remarks, and for my colleagues, i believe they asked that i give my remarks before i offer my unanimous consent request, and that is what i will do. mr. president, america is 266 days away from the 2020 election, and majority leader mcconnell has yet to take any concrete steps to protect our foreign elections from hacking or foreign interference. thanks to this legislative blockade, the united states senate has been totally derelict in its duty to stop foreign cyberattacks on our elections. and i want to give just one concrete example, having listened to my colleague from tennessee. mr. president, there is not one single nationwide election cybersecurity standard on the books. that means there's not even a prohibition on voting machines having an open connection to the internet. mr. president and colleagues, that is the equivalent of stashing our ballots in the kremlin. there's no such cybersecurity

mr. wyden: mr. president, reserving the right to object. the presiding officer: the senator for oregon. mr. wyden: mr. president, the majority party's antiwomen health care agenda has certainly been on display in the last few days here in the united states senate. two votes on tuesday. more votes and debate today. every time, it's the same basic proposition on offers. legislation that squeezes republican politicians in between women and their doctors. i have said the old g.o.p. slogan used to be a chicken in every pot. these days, it's a republican in every exam room. not only does this legislation discount the fact that reproductive health care, including abortion, is health care, it would make women's health care services more expensive. this would head this country back to the days when the health care system was just for the healthy and the wealthy. my view is decisions about the health care of women, especially reproductive health care, including abortions, are enormously personal. they ought t

so i encourage my republican colleagues to join me and wyden in that effort, a bipartisan effort. i yield the floor. mr. mcconnell: madam president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: today every senator will be able to take a clear moral stand. we'll have the chance to proceed to commonsense legislation that would move our nation closer to the international mainstream with respect to defending innocent human life. there are only seven nations left in the entire world where an unborn child can be killed by electing abortion after 20 weeks, and the united states of america, unfortunately, is one of them. set aside all the far-left rhetoric that will greet senator graham's straight-forward legislation and consider this simple fact. to -- do your democratic colleagues really believe that what our country needs is a radical fringe position on elective abortion that we only share with china, north korea, and four other countries in the entire world? the american people don't seem to think that's what we need. one recent survey found that 70% of all americans believe that at a minimum
