mr. speaker, i will reiterate once again, bring the senate bill. this is a blunt-murray bill. mr. blunt, the former majority leader and minority whip and majority whip. senator from missouri. republican leader in the senate sent us a bipartisan bill. let's take that bill and whatever other differences we have, let's debate them, mr. speaker. those provisions can be brought to the floor separately and apart without undermining the need to immediately fund the zika public health efforts. i again say to my friend, those two issues -- i might also add perhaps in closing that we ought to be dealing with flint as well, another public health issue that has been pending for over a year. i will yield to my friend. mr. mccarthy: i thank the gentleman for yielding. the only thing i want to clarify here is you believe in debate and have the opportunity for people to air different sides? mr. hoyer: i do. we are asking mr. king's bill to be brought to the floor, so i do believe in that. mr. mccarthy: if the gentleman would yield, i ask the gentleman to join with me requesting that the democrats

mrs. murray: the leader mentioned a number of issues you helped us work our way through. for me, when i was chair of the budget committee and what we know is a very chaotic, long, tedious process, tim was there to make sure that we did it right, that we were in order and that things moved smoothly. tim, we could not have done it without you so thank you for your 25 years of service and thank you to your family for allowing you to be here with us for 25 years of service and thank you for all you will continue to do. thank you. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new york assume assume would the democrat -- mr. schumer: would the democratic leader yield. mr. reid: would be happy to. mr. schumer: every organize -- organization has what they call unsung heroes. on the battle feedz they're the soldiers. in the automobile plant they're the assembly workers. in the hospital it may be the nurses. the organizations can't go on without these people. they are the heart and soul of these organizations, and they do their work quietly but proudly. if you h

mr. murray is speaking about is absolutely right.nted them and we needed them when they were working and now we can't turn our backs on them and has a profound impact on the entire country on all of society if you just turn your back on these people. it reminds you in that pro mary were hillary clinton soon. >> i'm the only candidate that has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy were to put a lot of coal miners and companies out of business. >> a start contrast to what she is now saying. the investments in coal community. bob, your reaction to that. it's tough to say that after hearing those words from several months ago. >> i have heard those words many times. they destroyed the jobs and then come up with welfare to try to support them. the reason she doesn't want coal is a cost 4 cents a kilowatt hour. it cost 26 cents a kilowatt hour. she is getting hundreds of millions of dollars from the manufacturing of windmills into the clinton foundation and into her campaign to support this tax from

mrs. murray: mr. president, i come to the floor this afternoon to join my colleagues in noting that we are now at an unbelievable unprecedented 195 days, that is over six months since the president nominated judge merrick garland to the supreme court. do you know what else could happen in this time period? we could have gone through the confirmation process for the last republican-nominated justice twice and still have 11 days left over. we could have sailed around the world almost four times or flown to the moon and back 30 times. but, mr. president senate republicans have refused to even hold one hearing for judge merrick garland by allowing this absurd political game to continue republicans are preventing the rest of us from upholding our constitutional duty to consider the supreme court nominee. senate republicans won't say that their historic obstruction is because they are opposed to judge garland. they're just refusing to even consider him. and that is after many republicans after meeting with

mr. company murray jerseys because we're fox 29. obviously.ith your own name hash tag twitter were the now in fairness i had to see if it would work. so i did it. i made mine. karen is giving mow grieve -- lie all of them shortly. >> his is here. >> i didn't want to buy a bunch of stuff that didn't work and get stuck with them. >> i love getting old jersey you can pick them up at tj maxx. >> $12, baby. >> he's so good. >> we love it. >> he is so good. >> i'm a bargain hunter. >> nice move, man. i like that. that's psych. >> maybe he'll get one for you. >> i gotcha. i need your twitter account. i got you. >> appreciate that. >> want to talk about bugs because we'll be eating them. >> why would we be eating bugs? because they're yummy and delicious. so crunchy. look at the protein crawling around. >> this isn't helping. but that's coming up. >> there's a festival happening in our city today. a lot of fun and why you, too, may want to eat some insects and having to meet and get to know someone new can already be nerve racking. the things that sho

now you heard sara murray just say mr. trump is for diplomacy. which is it? >> well, i think that we are so politically correct, the rules of engagement are so strict, and since world war ii, we have not had a victory. we come up with relationships and understandings, but it is nothing like a victory in world war ii. so the whole request for a plan to defeat, i have to probably take issue with it, because i don't think we can come up with it. we don't have the resources. >> general shachnow, just so the audience understands, does that mean you're for things like torture or killing terrorists families, and is what you talked to mr. trump about? >> no. i'm not for torture. but i am for saying the way things are. if we cannot defeat somebody, then we should add mit that up front and not follow-up on it as if it's an attainable goal. >> so general hertling, i don't know if you caught that, because i'm kind of having difficulty hearing, because the general is on skype, but mr. trump has also said in the past that he has a plan, but he has to keep it secret, becaus

mr. trump's 46. and that is within the margin of error. the new polls mean? patrick murray director of the monmouth university poll. patrick, the average of the polls, they have mrs. clinton up two point and you you showed a wider margin now. are you seeing anything special? >> no, they are exactly within the margin of error. we are seeing what every other pollster is seeing. the race has tightened in the past few weeks. donald trump has gained among the republican and solid foyed support. and gained among the independents and that pushed it in a to iter are race. >> mrs. clinton was up seven points just a few weeks ago. and lost three points. >> mainly because donald trump is gaining support. 46 percent is where she was. donald trump has gone to 38 to 39 to low 40s. >> what is it that you are seeing with independents? >> donald trump had been leading two points in the summer. in august hillary clinton pulled ahead theri there five point an there is a decided trump 7 or 8 points. independents are breaking toward trump. >> exactly the few persuadable voters that are moving a

murray reporting live from washington. we'll get back to you. thank you. so let's boil this all down, shall we? the trump camp now says mr. trump did a great service to the country by pressuring mr. obama to produce his birth certificate. although the president would probably laugh at that like he did at the white house correspondents' dinner in 2011. >> i know that he's taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder, to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the donald. and that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter. like did we fake the moon landing? what really happened in roswell? and where are biggie and tomb ack? >> to donald trump within the audience at that correspondents' dinner. he was not too. py. still donald trump insisted it was hillary clinton who started the birther debate. let's bring back cnn's dana bash. also joined by senior political correspondent brianna keilar. david louter, the washington bureau chief for "the los angeles times," and assistant editor of "the washington post." dana, you heard what mr. trump said on fox business. he wants to

>> all right, sara murray reporting live for us this morning. thanks so much. >>> as i told you before, mr. trump is on the dr. oz show right now, it's airing nationwide for the first time. we've been listening to it. dr. sanjay gupta is still listening to it in its entirety. but we do have a bit more to show you from the dr. oz show this morning. let's listen. >> when was the last time that you had regular physical exam? >> well i -- i try and do it every year. i've had the same doctor for a long time. and someone would say oh, why don't you change? i said i've been lucky. i'm here. i'm sort of, are we a little superstitious? i'm not looking to find some genius and all of a sudden -- i just want -- i have a very good doctor. i think he's been -- he's done a really good job for me. he's a member of lennox hill hospital. respected person. and i went to him on friday and i had a test. i had a -- and i just got the -- i literally just got the results. >> of your medical test? >> of my medical test. >> this is with dr. bornstein? >> respected guy. i've been with him for a lot of time. a lot of

mr. president, i would ask unanimous consent that ian foss, a detailee on the help committee, health, education, labor, pension committee for senator murray be granted floor privileges for the remainder of today's session. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. carper: thank you, mr. president. and, mr. president, as some of my colleagues know, nearly every month for more than a year now, i've come to the senate floor regularly to highlight the diverse and difficult work performed by the men and women at the department of homeland security. i've been privileged to be at times in recent years the chairman of the senate committee of homeland security and today serve as the senior democrat, the ranking member of that committee. the department of homeland security is part of the government that we have direct jurisdiction over and it's one that i have a great privilege to work with and to have the opportunity to oversee the operation of that department. but the department of homeland security has more than 230,000 employees stationed around our country, at our ports of entry, our major transit hubs in major cities and small communities

mr. trump with open arms here. local reports indicate activists with the black lives matter movement plan to protest just outside that meeting. sara murray is just outside trump tower here today in new york. as far as philadelphia goes, sara, let's start -- with the roundtable, tell me about the meeting. >> reporter: well, brooke, this is part of what the trump campaign, what his advisors have really touted as an effort to win over minority voters. we know donald trump's poll numbers with hispanic voters, african-american voters are not very high. so today he is going to philadelphia. we expect him to meet with just over a dozen religious leaders, community leaders, members of the business community. he's actually doing this at a charter school. it will be interesting to see if they focus on education, if they focus on other issues. but brooke, you are absolutely right, one area of backlash for donald trump as he tries to do this is there is a belief among some that at the's just now doing this in less than 90 days until the election, that if you really want to make inroads with minority communities, that's something you need to begin ea

murray became the president of marist in 1979. you're not going to believe this but today is officially his last day as president of marist college. [applause] mrarrow: i do not know if he and sarah coordinated this, but his successor is here. we are very happy to see him here today. thank you doctor. [applause] mr. sparrow: his impact on the entire hudson valley cannot be overstated. i use the word extraordinary because it truly was extraordinaire. he transformed a small regional campus into an internationally recognized leader in a range of fields, especially in technology. he has been a true friend to the library, as well as one of our trustees. i can announce that our new website is live today. thank you. [applause] mr. sparrow: and thank you to our staff, everyone who worked on it. it was because of the technology department at marist that we were able to launch this new website that will give access to a million pages of our archives to people all over the world use their phone. in many countries and in many poorer communities, a phone is their primary access to the internet. let me get back to this. please give a warm welcome to dr. denn

by 35- year-old albert murray of oakland, says chp officer marc hinch, who is an investigator in the alameda county regional auto theft task force >>:"so basically our suspect mr. murry has been under investigation here for about 2 years now, we allege what he has been doing is, he would steal a car, remove the engine and transmission from that car at his residence on reposo then he would dump the vehicles throughout east oakland" >> reporter:the alameda county auto theft task force found a chop shop at murray's east oakalnd residence on reposo drive. he was recently arrested and charged in connection to stolen autos and parts involving these 4-vehicles >>:"we got him on 4 of them, we got him on a chop shop charge, we also got him in possession of a high capacity magazine, because he is a felon he is not supposed to have that" he says the task force has had an open investigation on murry for the past 2-years >>:"we believe he is a part of a bigger crew that has splintered off in the last few years and has his own crew going on" these auto theft crews are rather notorious when it comes to stealing a certain american made car "in the oakland area alone we have r

murray. i'm looking at the trump campaign statement. i have it right here. i will boil it all down for you right now. the trump camp is now saying mr. trump did a great service to the country by pressuring mr. obama to produce his birth certificate. although perhaps the president would laugh at that, like he did at the white house correspondents dinner back in 2011. >> i know that he's taken some flack lately but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the donald. and that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter. like did we fake the moon landing. what really happened in roswell. and where are biggie and tupac. >> mr. trump was in the audience that night at the correspondents dinner. he was none too happy. in fact, he left angry although later he said it didn't bother him at all. still, donald trump to this day and even in his campaign statement, he actually blames hillary clinton for starting the birther movement although there is absolutely no evidence that hillary clinton ever demanded that president obama produce his birth certificate. but donald trum

murray did in "lost in translation." taylor riggs would climb mount fuji or something. that is what she says. if i go outside tokyo, how is mrow are the tokyo elite treated? robert: the japanese people are remarkably united. this is one of the strengths and one of the background for my people are interested in japan. populism we see in many countries is not present in japan anymore. we went to a populist period even under some earlier ldp governments, but the country is now united, realizing that each individual has to do his or her own part in raising productivity to maintain the standard of living. this is not a joke anymore. on a go around the country, i asked people -- we have a big deficit. how much do you increase taxes, cut spending? i get clear answers from people that tend toward the spending cuts, even the left-wing groups. they know the system sustainability requires that. i think we have a coherent public. when -- tom: -- francine: you look at unemployment, how you fix japan is get women back to work, get immigration. that goes to the social fabric of society. without immigration, without women going back to work

murray, for convening this roundtable and this is very, very helpful to all of us. and i appreciate the presence of all of our witnesses here. i wanted to start with you, mrs. clementi, and start by also sharing my gratitude to you and your family, all of your family for, as you said, helping others learn through your family's pain. but really taking serious action so that the tragedy that you experienced doesn't happen to other families. so -- >> thank you. >> i very much appreciate that. and i know i'm not alone in being inspired by your strength and your family's strength. >> thank you. >> you said in your testimony that through your efforts on this bill, that you've learned that tyler's experience is far from an isolated one and in fact, you cited some research i believe that counts over 3 million instances of cyberbullying, i think you said. but it strikes me that this is probably an area that's under researched that we don't have as much information about the prevalence of bullying in higher education and particularly that directed at lgbt students. however, i imagine from your own experience that you've heard a lot anecdotally and you've begun to und

mrs. murray: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent the senate proceed to executive session and the banking committee be discharged from further consideration of pn-1093, the nomination of john mark mcwatters of texas to be a member of the board of directors of the export import bank that the senate proceed to consideration and vote without intervening action or debate, that if confirmed the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. mr. shelby: mr. president? the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. shelby: i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from oregon. mr. wyden: mr. president, i want to thank senator merkley and senator peters for their courtesy to speak for just a few minutes. in a few days, mr. president, it will be exactly one year since the tragic shooting that took nine innocent lives and left nine more injured at umcor community college outside of ro
