the white one is car nita. for real.eople were reporting they were mother and daughter, but they are apparently not. somebody needs to write a children's book about this, laney and carnita, the llamas that could run faster than everyone in arizona. [ laughter ] [ applause ] we wish them the best of luck. i drove by a billboard for a owing on nbc the other day called "the slap." have you heard about this show? they made a show out of a kid getting slapped. it's not doing well in the ratings. i might have figured out why. this is a billboard i noticed. you can see it's very grim. it's not inviting. huh would want to watch a bunch of sour-faced people huddled around a crying kid? what they ought to do i think is reverse it. now it's "the pals." that would be a fun show to watch. you're welcome, nbc. you would watch a show calls "the pals." >> guillermo: yes, yes. >> jimmy: of course you would. one of our old pals former toronto mayor rob ford, who is now a city councilor rob ford, is doing something unusual. he's selling hi

two weeks ago, appropriations committee ranking member nita lowey, and i introduced h.r. 861. it is a clean appropriations bill that funds the department of homeland security for the remainder of fiscal year 2015. it is not a democratic bill. if it were it would more closely reflect democratic priorities. rather h.r. 861 contains the precise language of a november 2014 bipartisan bill negotiated in good faith by chairs and ranking members of the house-senate homeland security appropriations subcommittee. this is the bill that was intended to be part of the 2015 omnibus legislation that funded the rest of the federal government. it is the bill that will enable the department of homeland security to address our nation's current and most pressing security needs. i am pleased that h.r. 861 is co-sponsored by every democrat in the house and we urge our republican colleagues to join us. this bipartisan bicameral bill will pass the house, pass the senate and be signed into law by the president. all it needs is for the republican leadership to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. s
