that's only nevada. and that's only a touch of what's happening in nevada. wildfires are devastating our state. wiping out native grasses and plants causing endanger species to need to be listed or as threatened or going extinct because, for example if you have birds that survive in you are a sage brush -- and sage brush is burnt no longer exists and cheap grass comes in which is no longer good for anything but fires. that's what we have in nevada. devastating wildfires. but around the united states massive floods around the globe. the poles are melting melting. by the year 2050, scientists estimate that the sea levels will rise in the world 16 feet. what will that do to florida? of all the major cities in the world with virtually no exception, they're on all coastal areas. what coastal city in the world is going to be hit hardest by this climate change? the rising of the seas? miami, florida the state of florida. massive floods are destroying life around the globe. the poles are melting i repeat. ocean resources are being exhausted. stunningly republicans i

freight rail plays a major role in nevada's economy. the silver state has 1,192 miles of rail track and nearly 43 million tons of freight move through the state each year via rail supporting over 700 high-paying jobs. i was proud to team up with my friends, senator blunt and senator booker on two stand-alone proposals that are in the rail title. first, the trail, rail and infrastructure network act which streamlines permitting for the repair and development of new railroad infrastructure is critical to ensure scant infrastructure dollars are spent efficiently and spent wisely. additionally, the rail infrastructure financing improvement act implements a variety of good-government reforms to the revolving loan program utilized to spur development of railroad infrastructure. the program is notoriously underutilized and i believe it's important that we ensure this invaluable tool is reworked so it can be used for new freight and passage of rail development. i strongly support the rail reform title when it was approved by the commerce commit

mississippi, tennessee, and nevada. what is important to note is that in a different areas i was just listing, they are all slightly different from state to state. what that means is that these states of taken an excellent idea about how to get every child a chance at a sizable education and adjusted it for the laws and regulations and the way that they do business in their state. they have taken the time to make it something that will fit for the way that they had done education funding and even school choice programs in please.ate. next slide in 2013 i did a focus group study what we found are these two bars on the left color than the others. at the time, we went to look for ways and ideas on how to use their empowerment scholarship account, as it is called in arizona. many of them went to a doctor who message board made by parents in the message board could do was no prodding for parents to great this message board did it was something they created because they do parent to parent, mom to mom and most cases, that tha

and nevada's laws is significant among all the laws because nevada's law is the only one that is available to every public school student in the state. so is it's going to be critical that they do in fact get the rules and regulations right for their program so as to provide great opportunities for all kids in that state. the last thing i would like to leave you with is also a coat from milton friedman. and from his book capitalism and freedom. i know many of those in this odd yes or no sure have read. it's so important and is shaping the way we have thought about not just the free market but also about education. he said our problem today, and he's talking about education e. our problem today is not to enforce conformity. sit rather we are threatened with an excess of conformity. our problem is to foster diversity. and the alternative would do this -- and the alternative he is talk building is school choice. would do this far more effectively than a nationalized school system. that is what education savings accounts bring to the united states. now we can talk about education. what is more

nevada, i'm way in the lead there. interestingly in nevada, i lead in hispanics by a tremendous -- way into the 30s. if i get the nomination, if i run for president, i will win the hispanic vote, because i'll be able to take jobs back from china, jobs back from japan and mexico. i will win the hispanic vote. >> you think this will actually help you -- this is involving veterans? you heard what i said about those veteran groups, you think this will help you in the polls? >> i believe i will do far more for veterans that john mccain has done for veterans. you look at what's happening in our veterans, they're being decimated. i will do far more for veterans than anyone else. i will be able to help the veterans. john mccain has failed. take a look at the scandal at the veterans administration, the disastrous conditions under which our veterans have to live. believe me, i built a small group a veteran

the gentlelady from nevada. ms. titus: i would yield myself as much time as i may consume. the veteran payments for veterans and families and survivors. i thank the chairman and ranking member brown for their help and work on this important legislation. since 1976, congress has consistently increased the rates of basic compensation for disabled veterans and the rates of indemnity compensation for their survivors and depend events. this is in order to keep pace with inflation. however, unlike social security cost of living adjustments, congress must act each year to provide veterans with the benefits they deserve. this legislation will bring it to the same level as social security recipients for this year. this action is very important in the short-term, but i look forward to the house concerning h.r. 7677 the cola act of 2015 which i introduced along with chairman abraham. this would eliminate congressional gridlock by making the increases automatic just like they are for social security. i would like to highlight a

it involves the state of nevada. nevada, for about a year and a half, has had a really good anti-slapp law on the books. a resident of new botta, and hopefully she does not listen to this or hear this -- a resident of nevada. steve wynn lost a lawsuit in california around march fourth, based off of anti-slapp legislation. about three weeks later, in the state of nevada there was a bill introduced in the state legislature to gut the anti-slapp law that nevada had had on the books for less than two years. who was it supported by fully? it was backed by wynn industries. this bill was introduced, and less than three weeks afterwards it passed the senate. it was over in the nevada house. companies like yelp were scrambling. a lot of first amendment freedom of speech groups were scrambling in the states to try to help slow this process and stop what was otherwise going to be a bill that was going to gut the rights of nobody in to speak -- the rights of nevada citizens to speak freely. it kind of goes to the point of when y

>> reporter: a 130-year-old gun found in the nevada desert is fully loaded with mystery.inchester 1873 rifle was discovered in the great basin national park, standing upright, propped against a tree. and no one knows how the rifle stayed standing for so long. the rifle was sent to the cody firearms museum in wyoming. the gun's wood was stabilized and the entire thing was even x- rayed at a hospital under the patient name "rifle." museum workers determined it was made in 1882, but there are no records to show who owned it. another interesting discovery, the gun's lifter was removed so it's capable of firing only a single shot at once. and researchers tell me the area of the desert where the gun was found doesn't really help the case. there's never been a recorded fire which would help them date the gun, and they scoured nearby soil for related clues, but found nothing. the cody firearms museum has 7000 guns, but the curator says this ragged rifle is generating the most buzz. folks are coming up with all types of scenarios about its past. >> personal favorite of mine is my
