ms. pelosi: i first want to yield to congresswoman delauro who we call -- has been a cardinal in the appropriations process and has been working on this -- in her committee, subcommittee's jurisdiction. ms. delauro: thank you, madam leader. that f all, this notion the administration has not provided information really is misrepresentation. i don't -- i didn't bring with me but i held it up both last week in the appropriations process and just yesterday afternoon about this much paper very detailed as to what the money will be used for. whether it is n.i.h., whether it is at c.d.c., whether it is at the department of state and i have personally been in briefings with secretary burwell and republican colleagues. and the administration quite provide as tried to much information with the briefing, with justification, with language, with charts. it is all laid out. i'm going to make this aside which i made information. we have more information about this than we had about going to war in iraq and where we couldn't find a weapon of mass destruction and we spent $8 billion, which is unaccounted for today

ms. pelosi: good morning. i guess you all stayed up late to watch the golden state warriors to break all records. kobe, that was beautiful. kobe scoring 60 points and -- for his last day and bringing the lakers to victory. there are two things going on northern and southern california, but i'm glad we got to the 73 so we can just focus on the regular season and saturday. and that was very good news. very happy about that. even and more importantly to the american people, the jobless claims numbers that were released today are the lowest since 1973. the lowest since 1973. that's pretty exciting. the difference is to when president obama took office and w in terms of so many of the metrics, whether it's the -- well, we've been through it. the deficit is 70% lower. the unemployment is half of what it was. the stock market's 10,000 points, more than 10,000 points ahead. the auto industry is thriving when it was on its heels at that time when he took office. the 20 million people now have health insurance who didn'

ms. pelosi: when was the timetable? reporter: after your hometown in california. ms. pelosi: california. reporter: do you see anything for bernie sanders? ms. pelosi: the election has to play itself out. i have never in my whole political career, which is a long one, said to someone you should drop out. they have their own call to service, their own purpose. they have their supportser and they have their own time -- supporters and they have their own time tabble and hopefully that's one to elect a democratic president of the united states, whoever she may , and to also help elect a democratic governor, state house and the rest. that timetable is not one that comes from the outside but from the inside, the campaign and inside the person. the candidate. i'm so very proud of both of our candidates for president. the dignity they have brought to their presentations. the differentiation that they have is very slim compared to the chasm between democrats and republicans when it comes to meeting the needs of the american people and i respect the broadening of universe of part

ms. pelosi: you think. reporter: republicans are open to that. would you support them adding funding to the supplemental. if there is a supplemental for zika, democrats would try to amend it as well? ms. pelosi: i think the vehicle for flint is a supplemental and again, the urgency of zika is sinking in finally to some on the republican side in a position to make a difference on the subject. so if there were a supplemental, i would imagine -- we would fight to have zika, flint and also the opioids, because we are making good progress on an authorization bill on opioids so that would require outside the cap funding as well. but it's news to me and glad to hear that you think the republicans are open to a supplemental. i have not heard that. we have votes. i'm sorry.
