the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from north carolina, mr. jones, for five minutes. mr. jones: mr. speaker, thank you very much. today i have the front page cover of douglas' book funding the enemy, how u.s. taxpayers bankroll the taliban. a few years ago i had the pleasure of meeting with douglas in my office here in d.c. to discuss his book. one of the analyses of this book by the publishers weekly, and i quote, funding the enemy is sober, sad, and important. it peels back the layers of american engagement in afghanistan to reveal its rotten core that united states dollars meant for that country's future instead fund the insurgency and support the taliban. it assures america's ultimate defeat and the book tells the story. mr. speaker, i am reminded of this book as we recently president trump talk about that he would allow general mattis to recommend troop levels increases in afghanistan. i'm disappointed for many reasons. i'm disappointed because congress deserves a debate and a vote. i'm disappointed because we continue to lose american li

we do have a comprehensive strategy on that in north carolina. already we're seeing reductions in prescriptions to people, but it's almost like squeezing a balloon. we've seen now an increase in heroine use. sometimes that's even cheaper. what is really deadly is when it is laced with synthetic fentanyl and other drugs that can cause death immediately. helping us to fight the drug kingpins and traffickers, and in china where a lot of this synthetic fentanyl is being made, we need help with that. but one thing we know at the addiction level, and law enforcement will tell you this -- we cannot arrest our way out of this problem. this never-ending cycle of people going to emergency room's -- rooms and being arrested and being put in jail and getting back out and overdosing -- that is not going to work. and what we have to do as part of our plan is widespread use of naloxone. we have to make sure that we have emergency intervention with these people who overdose. that is the time, as they are near-death, and recovering in the next 24 to 48 hours, we

it talks about the clinics in north carolina, in fargo, north dakota, as well. >> sure. i think this is a really important film for several reasons. first, we decided to make the therentary because while is a lot of talk about legislative attacks on abortion rights, specifically at the state level, there is not a light of focus and a lot of tension drawn -- attention drawn to the access of the front door. so that is one goal of the film. another goal of the film is to show the critical importance in by in a local law-enforcement of protecting and facilitating a patient's right to access, the constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy when they need to, as well as the rights and safety of the doctors and companions that are working with these patients. i think the documentary does a really good job of contrasting these two. you have hundreds of people descending on a ininic that is in charlotte sort of off of a ruraral road. it is not easy to get to. they s set of fake e ultrasoundd clinics.s. theyey approach h people at t tr caca and talalk to them.m. through.ght they

in pennsylvania, north carolina, insurers have filed two separate sets of possible rates for 2018. one of the payments are made, what if they are not. of the payments are not made, premiums would be 20% higher. let's repeat that. if payments are not made and present trump ulcer on his vindictive idea of not making payments, premiums would be 20% higher for the people of north carolina and pennsylvania. so, if president trump does not guarantee these payments permanently, americans will have to pay a bump tax on their premiums next year. let me say that again. the president trump does not w guarantee these payments, americans will be paying a bump tax of 20% higher premiums. president trump has a responsibility to make our healthcare system work. millions of americans will hold him accountable if the system implodes on his watch.he if insurers leave the market on his watch, or if their premiums go up 20% or more in his watch. of course, when congress could remove the uncertainty and take the decision out of the presidency in. we can and should guarantee or these payments as soon as

north carolina, we have two of the worst senators in there. guest: with regard to the health care, we don't know what the senate is going to do. the senate will be taking up the health care issue. it is a motion to continue the debate. we have no idea and i don't think the senders have been idea what they will be voting on. we will see what takes place. what they talked about two weeks ago was a disaster for working men and women in america. for those 24 million people that have been able to get health ,are as a result of obamacare it will get stripped away over the next 4-5 years. some of those commit maybe 10 million, lose insurance a those,ed -- some of maybe 10 million, lose insurance immediately. it is a serious problem for the insurance market. i was the insurance commissioner --california for six years , theat were to become law private insurance market would be decimated. millions upon millions people would not be able to afford insurance because healthy people would opt out and sick people would be in and you would have a real death s

in north carolina, insurer pursuing average 222.9% hike. a virginia insurer looking for an average rate increase of 38%. delware insurers looking for an acknowledge rate hike of 33.6%, and a maine insurer is seeking average rate hikes of 40%.%. mr. president, could go on. and remember, these are ratet hikes for just one year. the double-digit rate hikes for next year are for years upontic years of dramatic obamacare premium increases. mr. president, the obamacarere status quo is not sustainable, the law was fatally flied from the beginning and is rapidly imploding. the american people need relief. inaction is not an option. my colleagues across the aisle seem to want to do one of two things. first, they want to do nothing, which would leave americans even worse off than they are now. or they want to double down on obamacare's failures by giving the government even more control over american's health care and then raising americans' tacks to pay for it. neither one of these so-called solution solutions will provide relief to the american peo

caller: in response to the young man from north carolina, the reason states like north asolina, arkansas, alabama, far as them not being worried about what donald trump does in russia is because they are so gerrymandered, the democrats do not even have a voice, just like we do not have a voice. i am saying? and you also see how the cbo was supposed to come out today. the republicans are trying to undermine it so it becomes obsolete and we do not even have to worry about that, so congress can make of their own plan. they are tying to undermine everything they want us to believe comes from them. they wanted to attack our system so bad. they go alongs, with donald trump, who came into of is attack every institution they can. host: thank you it we also have this tweet -- why would the cbo forecasts suddenly become so so far offter being the mark in the past? guest: the cbo have not been that far off in their projections. economic forecasting modeling is not easy, and they take what they can and put it together. cbo is a nonpartisan agency. they do their work, and the party in charge gets to
