ms. sanders: i am not sure why he would call nancy pelosi.f democrats win tonight, we will have to wait and see who their speaker is. thanks, guys. >> watching with family and friends -- >> the loss of attention is being focused on the governor's race in georgia, and apparently the polls were scheduled to close several hours ago, but in certain hours voting hours have been extended and decision made anyone in line at that point could in fact vote. and tasty abram's team is encouraging people by social media to people to stay in line. the senate, 13 races still to be called, and send at 48 republicans and 39 democrats, including one independent who won reelection. telephone calls as we wait for more speeches. next up is a call from anthony in fort lauderdale. thanks for waiting. which raises on your mind in your state? caller: hi. good evening. davie.'m asked me from 's race between -- the governor's race between santos and gillum -- >> which is still very close. >> i'm watching it and right now 48.9.49.9 and we are waiting to see what happens

david: bernie sanders trying to one-up the president on patents if they have priced that are excessive. is eliminating patent rights on drugdrugs going too far? >> yes! >> alzheimer's, ms. parkinson's. you want to give companies an incentive to run the "race for the cure." trish prr my goodness. this is the reality of socialism. they don't get that people actually have to work hard to come up with these things that everybody loves. why would you work so hard to create a drug if you don't get something for it. if somebody else can reverse engineer it because you have no copy right or patent protection, then it's not worth it. we won't have that creativity and fuel to our drug industry if we don't have the patents. >> i can't believe i'm going to say this. in one small respect sanders has it right. not that the government decides the price. but the reason the drug prices are as high as they are. it's not the patents. it's the length of the patents. they are exten extend -- they ad sometimes two or three years. you can't have them extend for 50-60 years. sanders has that part right. but not the government deciding based on the price. >> i'm in favor of 15-year patents. >>

ms. sewell, for five minutes. s. sewell: mr. speaker, i rise today to honor the extraordinary life and amazing career of alabama senator -- state senator hank sanders, also known as the rock. for the past 35 years, state senator sanders has been a powerful voice in the alabama legislature. ablely representing the 23rd -- ably representing the 23rd district since 1983. he was the longest serving chair of the senate finance and taxation committee from 1996 and served for four consecutive terms until republicans took over the state house in 2010. senator sanders is a lawyer, a statesman, a native of my hometown of selma, alabama, and a true renaissance man. along with his numerous legislative accomplishments, senator sanders has also penned more than 1,600 newspaper articles and columns, known as senate sketches, as a way of communicating directly with his constituents. senator sanders' years of service to the state of alabama and to the alabama legislature will be missed. for you see, mr. speaker, after 35 years, this lion of the alabama senate is retiring. choosing not to run in 2018, he will be ably replaced by his daughter who recently won that el

ms. warren: thank you. thank you, mr. president. i rise today in support of the sanders-lee-murphy resolution to stop the united states military involvement in the saudi arabia-led bombing campaign in yemen. i am a cosponsor of the resolution and i thank the senators for their strong leadership on this important issue. the resolution would direct president trump to stop our involvement in saudi-led military operations in yemen unless congress provides specific authorization. it would allow our counterterrorism operations against al qaeda to continue, but it will ensure that the united states is not giving the saudis a blank check. for over three years saudi-led coalition warplanes refueled and armed with missiles by the united states have been bombing yemen to cover iranian-backed measures -- militias. thousands have been killed as a direct result of this dangerous proxy war between saudi arabia and iran. but when i asked one of the military leaders at an armed services hearing, he said we weren't keeping track of where those u.s. armed and u.s. refueled planes were goin
