at least you have got it down a nine12 bill omnibus to bill. if you could get a second package, you could get it down to a six bill. you can just keep checking off some of the departments. and tell the president, we are not giving you them all. i think that is where we are headed. the bigger issue for crop is not the bigger issue for president trump is not the omnibus but the funding of the border wall. $5 billion could be provided. the senate has set $1.6 billion. and the republican from west the end ofld us at august that she had gone to the border and is more comfortable with providing funding but the big question is what do you cut to provide that? transportation funds? health care funds? there is a reluctance in the senate to make those cuts for what many believe is a waste of money. a border wall. it cans eight-foot high, be defeated by a nine foot ladder. it is not as popular among republicans as it is with president trump and some of his poor base voters. -- or base voters. >> let us shift to brett kavanaugh. democrats couple of or repu

[no audio] he and hisnd white house director has said they do not want another omnibus, another cute, all packaged together spending bill. doinge they planning on with the border welcoming feeling with that issue? week ofted the second september or somewhere thereabouts, and there was an omnibus 9 bill, and if you get a second package done, you get a .ix-day filter -- bill. i think that is where we are fitted come up the big issue for trump is not that his border wall is not be a funded. the senate has reported $1.6 billion some of the house $5 billion. a republican from west virginia told us at the end of august that she has gone to the borders, is more comfortable providing more funding come as a leaving question is -- what do you cut to provide that? do you cut health care? room is only so much ancut which is, for many, unnecessary wall, with a non-foot ladder. it is not as popular with republicans. incidents with trump. >> all right, let's pivot to supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. they will take up his nomination at his confirmation hearing. what are a couple of republicans,

the bigger issue for trump is is so much the omnibus, it that his border wall is not being funded. the white house budget office has worked with the house to provide $5 million this year for the wall. $1.6enate has said billion. the republican from west end ofa told us at the august that she had gone to the border and was more comfortable with providing funding. what do you cut in order to provide that? transportation funds? health care? there's is a reluctance and senate to make those cuts for a waste of money, a border wall that can be defeated by a nine foot ladder. there's a sense that it's not as popular among republicans as it is with trump. >> let's pivot a little bit too nominate brett kavanaugh. the senate judiciary committee will be meeting. they will pick up his nomination, his confirmation hearing. republicansouple of , democrats that you will be keeping your eye on during the questioning? what issues are they going to be hammering with judge kavanaugh? >> are there going to be any republican defectors? the filibuster has gone away. democrats are boxed out of this. repu

the bigger issue for trump is not the omnibus, it's the border wall not being funded. the white house budget office has worked with the house to provide $5 billion this year for the border wall. the senate has said $1.6 billion. the republican from west ofginia told us at the end august that she had gone to the border and was more comfortable with providing more funding but what do you cut to provide that? do you cut transportation funds, health care? there was a reluctance in the senate to make those cuts for what many believe is perhaps a waste of money, a border wall that can be defeated by a nine foot ladder. is a sense it's not exactly is popular among republicans as it is with donald trump and his court base of voters. the supremek at court nominee, brett kavanaugh. the senate judiciary committee will meet and they will take up his nomination, his confirmation hearing. what are a couple of democrats you will keep your eye on during the questioning and what issues are they really going to be hammering with judge kavanagh questio? >> the cookie question is if there

the government has been forced to pass so-called omnibus spending bills where all of the spending is rolled into one giant package in a very rushed manner. last year i said we're not going to do that we don't want to do that again, we don't like it but we wanned to take care of our military, which we did. and we took it beautifully. they're rebuilding the military to a level it's never been at before. and also we've got $6 billion for the opioid crisis and that was a very important thing if we didn't get that we would have some very big problems. so we took care of our military and spent a lot of money, we're spending a lot of money on working very hard on the opioid problem. i'm also pleased to say the senate and house republicans have responded in so many different way, they've made pretre progress in funding our government at the fastest pace, mitch, i think, since 2000, i've heard. so that's pretty fast pace. also i want to make good on a promise to fund border security, democrats want to abolish i.c.e., they want to, i guess, by abolishing i.c.e., they don't mind crime flooding

last year -- you might've heard omnibus before come when you have all of these appropriation bills together. they are chopping them up into different chunks, bite-size chunks. last week they passed one in the house and senate, overwhelming support. veterans affairs, legislative branch, energy and water. those four pieces. this week the senate will take up the second bite-size chunk, but it is a huge one -- this is labor, health and human services, education. they are lumping it with defense. defense is the sweetener. that is not supposed to happen -- any kind of a position on either side of the aisle. the senate is expected to pass --

we should have done it back in march when we had the crazy omnibus bill that passed.o focus in doing what we said. this was a key thing we told voters we were going to do. no one want as shutdown, let's have this debate, put it on a spending bill now, not wait until the end of the month, end of the year, let's have debate. i think that is the best course of action. we'll see. melissa: what are the odds it would really happen? >> i don't know, melissa. like i said we should have done it on the omnibus spending bill, there has been one shutdown, done by chuck schumer. early part of the year we had a short-term funding bill, got on friday afternoon, he will cut shut the government down, amnesty was more important than funding troops and funding government. he learned american people don't like that approach and reopened government. we should put the wall funding bill and send it over to the senate, have them deal with it. melissa: censoring political views. the attorney general jeff sessions says the department of justice will look into bias of social media whether faceb

or ultimately it could end up in an omnibus spending bill in which all the spending is combined together and the opportunity for us as members of the appropriations committee but equally or more importantly members of the united states senate, the u.s. house of representatives to have input into those spending items is greatly diminished and the amount of knowledge of what one can have about what's in that appropriation bill when it covers everything and results in trillions of dollars of spending is pretty limited. the president was correct in his admonition, his desire to see that we get spending bills done and avoid another omnibus appropriation bill. and i want to thank both sets of leadership, the full senate leadership and the appropriations committee leadership for their efforts to get us back to what we around here call regular order. and i'm pleased to see that we're moving solidly in that direction. so i applaud these developments, but i continue to believe that all 12 appropriation bills should be continued to be worked on and should be pursued toward a final conclusion betwee

did the omnibus back in march. townhalls in my district, 4 or 500 people. that, everyone knew that we spent $1.3 trillion, 2000 page bill read.now one had time to almost no one knew that the house had actually voted on a spending responsible level back in september. for the first time in 2005 the house passed all the spending bills. they had our policy writers. truly good when you look at the positions from the they took.rs he was a solid republican in a district.in he's over in the more moderate end of the party. a takes that for us to have the speaker gavel. a way to work together. we never made the senate actually vote. most importanthe thing that we have to do in the house. we have to have in our next somebody that will make the senate vote. thatl believe that we had commitment and i think we really aopped the ball by not making vote. coming especially off a schumer shutdown. who shut thene government down over daca. themd the pressure to make vote. if this didn't pass, great. aboutey added $200 billion to what we were going to spend, stripped most of t

we did the omnibus in march. i went to town halls in my district, 400 people, 500 people, and within days of that, everyone knew we spent $1.3 trillion, borrowing about $1 trillion of it, a 2000-page bill that no one read. no one knew that the house voted on a much more responsible spending level. the house passed all the spending bills, and they had our policy writers pretty good. david valdis, good guy, not a fiscal conservative, solid republican in a tough to win district, but he's at the moderate end of the party -- it takes that to have the speaker's gavel, and we found a way to do it in the house. we never made the senate actually vote. that's one of the important things we have to do as a house. we have to have somebody who's going to make the senate vote. coming especially off a schumer shutdown, they were the only ones who shut the government down over daca. if it didn't pass, let's see what we can do, but they added $200 billion to what we were going to spend, and the house folded. host: you represent t

you understand it's not omnibus, it's minibus. financial services with congressman quigley and interior with betty mccollum, has the e.p.a. in there. and, hopefully that will be, come to a conclusion soon as well. minibus three is the biggy, the biggest. labor, h.h.s. and defense. labor-hhs, rosa delauro, and the defense subcommittee, peter visclosky as our ranking member. so i thank them for their leadership. the senate has worked in a bipartisan way on the appropriation bills. not as much so in the house, but close. and so we hope that some of the poison bill pils that rein on these bills from on high will stop. i also want to thank ms. roybal-allard, ranking member on subcommittee of appropriations, for the important work she's doing to protect our children and jose serrano on commerce, justice, science, what he's doing to protect our census and of course nita lowey, state, foreign ops, but also ranking member of the whole committee and thank her for her leadership. we haven't seen a vehicle for those, perhaps to be part of the

dod-hhs-education omnibus bill. and h.res. 1071, which is a rebuke on some localities expanding voting opportunities to immigrants. while some of my colleagues may wish to speak about h.res. 1071, i will focus on the good work that we are accomplishing today, not a meaningless political game house republican leadership is choosing to waste our time to further divide this house with instead on focusing on preventing a shutdown. mini bus the second to keep us -- minibus to keep us -- to keep the government open in fiscal year 2019 is an example of how this body can still work together to reach a bipartisan consensus when we take politics out of the picture. perhaps more important than what is included in the minibus is what is not included. this minibus rejects the proposed cuts to health care programs, job training, education, and access to health care to that were in president trump's budget proposal. this minibus also rejects president trump's efforts to expand family separation at our nation's border. while many c

as a federal judge, you're aware of the jury instruction falses in unibus, falses in omnibus, are you not. you're aware of that jury instruction. >> i am. >> you know what it means. >> you can translate it for me, senator, you can do it better than i can. >> false in one thing, false in everything, meaning in jury instructions, that we -- some of us, as prosecutors, have heard many times, told a jury that they can disbelieve a witness if they find them to be false in one thing. so, the core of why we're here today really is credibility. let me talk -- >> the core of why we're here is an allegation for which the four witnesses present have all said it didn't happen. >> let me ask you about renate dolphin, who lives in connecticut. she thought she said she and i never had any sexual interactions. the question is false and i address that in the opening statement and see your question is based on a false premise that does great harm to her. i don't know why you're bringing this up frankly. does great harm to her by even bringing her name appear. it is really unfortunate. >> calling someon

too but he loved conveying it you know and so he made i think wonderful teacher i saw all all the omnibus shows i anything that he broadcast i saw long before i met it i wrote these ninety minute scripts and had to memorize them and had to go at five o'clock they have to do whatever it was uncertainty and what i was doing was what everybody was watching on television from coast to coast that second as the conductor views this school is i just to follow all these twelve instruments simultaneously across the page i used to be up nights writing rewriting having meetings and try to memorize it and my wife five of them sit there spelling me with friends in reading and memorizing the script and they would fall asleep and i'd get grab the script and say and do it myself just memorize them read them that beethoven did not wish the entire orchestra to be playing so he dismissed five of these twelve instruments beethoven clearly wanted the strongest most masculine utterance he could get. he did so much to add value to television programming because what was going on in those early days of televisio

finally the 2018 omnibus included a fire borrowing fix by creating a wildfire cap adjustment which will treat wildfires like natural disasters like we saw in the carolinas with hurricane florence. this change will free up the forest service to fight wildfires and do so without transferring funds from nonfire accounts. these are accounts that help prevent fires with restorative cuts and managing the inds story, dealing with the fuel load, the standing dead timber because of perhaps disease. for forests around the nation, especially in the east this will mean more funding for other essential activities such as management, timbering and even recreational and research activities. along with fixing the budget cap, the omnibus provides the forest service with new management authorities. these are intended to help the forest better management and proactively prevent forest fires from breaking out. specifically, these new authorities will streamline the environmental analysis, reduce litigation and provide timber harvest contract certainty. some of these reforms include within the -- within our

hemarch, the president said would not sign and other omnibus, and that put religion into the leadershipand we did work through august to try to give is funding done. we got very close and they decided to kick the can down the road. this is important because of our burgeoning debt. if we do not get serious about that, we will get to a point where we can deal with it. social security, medicare, and medicaid need to be saved. they're one of the big problems of this runaway expense over the last decade. david: talk about the discretionary spending. with the president basically said back in march was the only way to get this done was to agree to all of the above. theyrats get everything want, republicans get everything they want, but just add up the bill. that is not the way you run a company, obviously. how do we actually start making tough decisions and saying you cannot have everything you want? a depth --e: we have a proposal from a democrat who says, pick a date in the future, and decide what our debt should be as a percentage of gdp. then do a run that just do a roadmap back to today w

it is an omnibus meeting.ave got privacy, his efforts in china, you've got the issue of an ideological bias planted again conservatives. what kind of questions will sooner get and what does he have to answer for in terms of privacy? marc: the privacy issue was the big issue. he was brought to washington to address some of the concerns about anti-conservative bias on the search platform. but what the state attorney generals want to talk about and what others want to talk about is what is going to happen with the personal data that google is collecting, still not subject to privacy protections. also, the recent news of this project in china called dragon fly. i've been doing privacy stuff for a long time but it is still possible to be scared. and dragonfly is scary because what google is proposing to do for the chinese government was not only to keep all search histories but to tie all search records to users, using their telephone number. and that would be essentially perfect surveillance for the use of the int

when these budgets get tied up into giant omnibus negotiations, it tends to be that only the top four or five issues in the omnibus get the attention from the folks in the room, and that these budgets are really important, but maybe a little bit smaller than the budget for h.h.s. or the budget for the department of defense go untended to. so as we return to regular order, not only as -- not only do i think that is a breath of fresh air for democracy, it's not good news for anybody when decisions over a budget gets decided behind closed doors among a small set of people appointed by the democratic leader and the republican leader, it's also good government because we get to flesh out some really important, and sometimes controversial issues, when we do these budgets one by one that we might not get to do when they are all lumped together in a massive package. and so i hope that this is now the way that we do things. i really congratulate senator mcconnell and senator shelby for setting the tone. i know there are a couple of conference committees tomorrow on some other packages and i ho

think about the omnibus bills, spending bills put before congress with little time, hopefully your staffit. rob: there are some people who argue if you take the entire amount we spend on healthcare and put it against what we would pay into will pay her some people say that number goes down after 10 or 15 years but another big argument is what happens to the quality of care when you go to a school payer? >> the reason it goes down is doctors don't receive as much in payment. if we go to the doctor we pay a certain amount. of america patient goes they pay much less. many studies say fewer people will go to medicine because the prospect of earning back those costs of medical school climate. rob: which is why a lot of people get into medicine, to make money. >> we should send our legislators on a field trip to europe and they should look at the wonders of the uk healthcare system where there is rationing. you have to wait months to get a mammogram, to get surgery. it is a little bit crazy. rob: thank you for your time. jillian: coming right back. an incomplete job from any one else. why acce

then, the second thing is i'd like to say that again, i'm going to bring forward the issue of more omnibus audit, outside audit review of how the city protects the taxpayers and the citizens from wrongful actions and so forth of which the whistle blower is a part. >> i'd like to just comment on your first point. what we have laid out are the work plans and the scheduled meetings themselves, so any member who wishes to put or suggest an item on the agenda, they are -- they are perfectly free to send an e-mail to the chair, vice chair, and ben as the controller, as to any additional items -- agenda you would like to put on the meeting agenda, but it is the purview of the chair and the vice chair in conjunction with the controller to finalize that agenda. so you know the meeting, so if you have any specific ideas or suggestions, you are free to send them to us. >> also, may i just note, i need to be included in that 'cause i do draft agendas. and the -- if you're adding things to the agenda, it can't be added the week the packet is going out. we need to have that additional item in sync with

a year ago it was a $1.3 trillion omnibus bill, a hodgepodge of reckless spending on the part f 0 you of your par. no difference from parts. >> and so yeah, i'm with the president -- lou: what about the wall? do you support the president getting that wall? >> absolutely. we have to use every leverage point we can. you have to be strategic about it. shutting down the government three weeks before an election may have some consequences. let's think that through. lou: how about the pledge from the budget committee from the leadership that they're going to deliver on the president's promise to the american people and quit acting like damn fools. how about that. >> absolutely. i'm note in the leadership but let's get it done. every leverage point. stop making excuses. let's be strategic but that does not include being cowardly or weak on the issue. the american people want it, people in indiana want it. lou: congressman, always good to talk with you. thanks for being with us. >>> up next, establishment republicanrepublicans dragging t on one of president trump's biggest campaign promises.

he's somebody who is also against the omnibus spending bill. bob corker can be an predictable had another development at the capitol tonight for senator starting with late murkowski collins and democrat joe manchin of west virginia. they all huddled after the confirmation hearing with kavanaugh and ford can i ask flake what did you discuss and he said i don't want to characterize any of that. that coalition of flake collins murkowski in possibly democrat joe manchin as the operative group right now. that's the operative huddle. kennedy: they certainly do hold the cards here. that seems to be the power this critical vote and it makes you think perhaps they are leaning towards it and it might be difficult because the senator flake said he felt both participants were very credible and they both made emotional pleas which resonated in ways we expected with democrats and republicans but for those on the fence it will be millimeters that pushed him to the other side. >> millimeters is a good word to use. you could tell physically when i spoke with se

at the next meeting about how you would design an omnibus high level audit to be done by an outside group that as you said, you want a fire wall between your work and the work with some of the others to see where things stand and where they need to go. >> any other comment on that? for the benefit of the committee, i think mr. bush, over the weekend, circulated an e-mail relating to a topic, and i had requested that the members not respond to mr. bush's e-mail because we had been told by the city attorney's office that an e-mail being circulated to all members may be deemed to be a public meeting of sorts. so can i please request the city attorney's office to comment on that and to train us as to what we should or should not be doing if one member is circulating an entire e-mail soliciting discussion on a topic to all members. >> this is mark blake, deputy city attorney. i think that the issue really is just kind of more of a process of it. it's okay for members to circulate commentary as long as it goes through your work or your secretary, and that that document be made available at your

fulson omnibus. what it means is if you find out that a person is lying about something, something even small, that is enough to impeach his entire testimony. if this man cannot be trusted to tell us honestly about what happened at a tailgate, that means we don't have to trust him when he talk bes what happened in timmy's house. but to your question, yeah, i think men are used to honoring themselves and will on her this man over the word of this woman. >> did we see a political calculation yesterday, pure and simple? the republicans thought maybe nothing significant could come out after seven days time. >> i think you're right. my concern is jeff flake, in doing this, you're going to have an investigation. the are probably come up with not specific information that we want to hear. nerds, it can't necessarily confirm her allegations which i do believe are credible. will we all be happy or feels as though there has been some justification? yes. to date, we have seen someone who is vying for a job. if

their whole campaign is called resist, that is all they have going, the government is forced to pass omnibusing bills where all the spending is rolled into one giant package in very rushed manner. last year i said we'll not do that we don't do that again. we don't like it. but we wanted to take care of our military which we did. we took it beautifully. they're right now rebuilding the military to a level it has never been at before. also we got $6 billion for the opioid crisis that was very important thing f we didn't get that, we would have very big problems. so we took care of our military. we spent a lot of money and we're spending a lot of money working very hard on the opioid problem. i'm also pleased to say the senate and house republicans have responded in so many different ways. they made tremendous progress funding our government at the fastest pace, mitch, i think since 2000 i have heard. so that is a pretty fast pace. i want to make food on a promise to fund border security. democrats want to abolish i.c.e. they want to, i guess by abolishing i.c.e., they don't mind crime flooding

the president back in march said he would veto an omnibus spending bill that quest covers all 12 sections federal funding. what they have done is put three of these funding bills together in mini bus covers energy and water, v.a. and military construction. also the legislative branch and they will move this through the senate, probably later this week and then the house of representatives. now, as you say, the president continues to threaten a shutdown over a border wall. they are not looking at funding that any time soon. in fact, that may go after the fiscal year which is september 30th. i pressed house speaker paul ryan a couple days ago on this because the president keeps threatening a shut down and house speaker paul ryan says no, there is not going to be one. listen. >> at the end of the day,. >> so why do you think -- i mean, is that just how he plays ball? you say all right, that's just how he rolls? >> yeah. [laughter] >> we have a good understanding, i'm confident our understanding will stick. >> so at the end of the day, you know, the house and senate republican leaders say wai

this is kind of shocking that mcconnell comes out and says, we're going to send you an omnibus bill. because it will be so much easier after a blue wave. >> tucker: this is my last question, but it is sincere. as a political matter, do you think the republicans in congress would do better if the president unilaterally built a wall? >> yes. yes, i think a lot of his basete is quitete demoralized. i express it on twitter, i was at this big fair thing -- the immigration outfit in washington yesterday. i met a lot of sheriffs, a lot of angel moms, and also i go. about my life and meet people. a lot of people who do not put it in their twitter feeds themselves because they feel like trump is our only hope and they do not want to criticize him at all. boy, do they like me doing the border wall talking. they want somebody reminding him of this, and they are really disappointed. >> tucker: you have been relentless on that and we appreciate it. ann coulter, thank you.im good luck on the book. up next, kids change their gender as easily as they change their clothes, so what other biological tr

congressional scrutiny for the bills than you might otherwise if you're wrapping all of this up into an omnibus bill or you're passing crs to fund continuing resolutions to fund the government. and so there is an aspect of oversight that is contained in all of this, as well. to your two questions on how to define this, so this is our definition from the house rules. i gave you my kind of earmarks in a nutshell, you know, specific pot of money for a specific thing, specific place. asked for by specific member of congress, but there is the more technical language. but your larger question of what's going to change there is politics. you're going to you know, while the majority party remains the majority in these chambers particularly the house, it's unlikely to see change of these rules. i think it's likely that the democrats will do away with this, with the earmarks ban in the house. should they retake the house, this election cycle, the republicans really could hold onto the senate and so we may not end up having -- we may have a difference that makes no difference because they're passing the s

. >> bret: in march, the president threatened not to sign the omnibus bill at the last minute, even thoughd negotiated it. do you worry that you may have an agreement on government spending and then you don't? >> i don't worry about that. we had a good discussion today. i expect him to sign these nine bills into law. that will fund 90% of the government for the first time in 20 years, before the end of the fiscal year. then i expect us to do a short term continue resolution for the balance of the funding and then have that discussion about how to fund the wall after the election. >> bret: has the ship sailed on repeal and replace obamacare? now you have senator john jon n the position of the late senator john mccain, who voted no on that. senator kyl perhaps would vote yes. as repeal and replace, that ship gone for this year? >> for this congress, it would be difficult to achieve. i think whether we can achieve it later depends upon the results this fall and the american people have a chance to decide what kind of congress they want to have coming into the next two years. >> bret: what are

there was an agreement on the omnibus bill. there are instances. we are in a very tough political arena. i would hope, maybe at least after the november elections, no matter how you they turn out, we do make an effort. i would ask the president to try to do that. also, if he does, certainly chuck schumer, who i also consider a friend, if he would also extend the hand and try to find a way to get around the killing fields we have right now. if you disagree with someone, right away, you're ten he enemy. i served under mccain. media loved him in 2000 against bush. against senator obama at the time, they looked the other way, when a lot of terrible things were said about john mccain. >> the "new york times" also talks about what he perceived to be hypocrisy at that service. he saw it a little differently. he points out that a lot of the folks who were there to celebrate john mccain's life haven't been upholding the ideals that he championed. that relates to standing up to president trump in some instances. does he have a point there? >> yeah. listen, i

they want to do everything piecemeal. .hey want to do an omnibus bill i don't live like that. have to watch my money very carefully and spend it very wisely. they need to do that. why do they want to build the wall but they refuse to penalize these employers firing -- for hiring illegal immigrants? let's get into these employers and a lot of this. . stop.ot of this needs to we don't need a wall. they do not need to shut down the government. they are still not going to get into a room and sit down and pass a law. they are going to keep doing everything piecemeal and fighting each other and having citizens fighting each other. host: thanks for the call this morning. a word on some of the words you will be hearing this week when it comes to government funding. the minibus is what you are going to be hearing. that is one of the packages of spending bills being put together. it includes funding for the departments of energy, as well as veterans affairs and the legislative branch of government . that is one minibus package being put together for a full year of funding for fiscal 201

it is an authority that we can take as omnibus or separate parts. i think there is room for big things to happen all at once, but a lot of things have to happen separately, too. it gives the administration potentially some flexibility in working with speed with congress in making some decisions that we would like to both move forward on. in any change effort, you need to judge whether the easy things and high value, what are the hard things and hard value and hard things that have very little value. that is what we are doing across our reorganization plans. administrator murphy and i are trying to prioritize the things that are essential to move over to gsa as we do it administratively that are important to us. we are looking at contracting vehicles that are, in my opinion, no brainers. opm doesn't have -- it has an acquisition organization, but gsa has a significant organization. >> so, again, you would need the authority from our legislation to do the low hanging fruit, the no brainers, correct? >> some of the things i think we can do administrati

as a federal judge you're aware of the jury instruction falsies in unibus and falsies in omnibus. you're aware that have jury instruction? >> yeah, i am. >> you mean, you can translate it for me, senator. >> false in one thing, false in everything, meaning in jury instructions, that we -- some of us as prosecutors have heard many times is told the jury that they can disbelieve a witness if they find them to be false in one thing, so the core of why we're here today really >> the core of why we're here is an allegation for which the four witnesses present have all said it didn't happen. >> let me ask you about renatte, who lives in connecticut. she thought these yearbook statements were horrible, hurtful and simply untrue, end quote, because renatte alumni clearly implied some boast of sexual conquest and that's the reason that you apologized to her, correct? >> that's false speaking with the yearbook. and she and i never had any sexual interaction, so your question is false. i addressed that in the opening statement and so your question is based on a false premise and really does

as a federal judge you are aware of the jury instruction, falseness in unibus, falseness in omnibus, are you not? you're aware of that jury instruction? >> yeah, i am. >> you know what it means? >> you can translate it for me, senator. >> false in one thing, false in everything. in jury instructions, some of us as prosecutors heard many time has told a jury that they can disbelieve a witness if they find them to be false in one thing. so the core of why we're here today really is credibility. let me talk -- >> the core of why we're here is an allegation for which the four witnesses present have all said it didn't happen. >> let me ask you about rinade dolphin, who lives in connecticut. she thought that these yearbook statements were, quote, horrible, hurtful and simply untrue, end quote. because renata, alumni, clearly implied some boasts of sexual confesses. and that's the reason that you apologized to her, correct? >> that's false, speaking as about the year many book and she said -- she and i never had any sexual interactions. your question is false and i address that in the openi

and clinton, you know, go back to 1994 omnibus crime bill where he pumped $300 million be into the prison system, expanded the prison population from about 700,000 to 2 million. you left are deindustrialized pockets. there was no hope for them to make a living within the legal economy. they're not producing money for the corporations on the streets of these industrial wastelands. but you lock them in a cage, and they can produce 50 or $60,000 a year for the prison contractors, for allmark which runs the food service, for global tel-link which has these horrible four to five times what our phone rates are. and that makes me extremely angry because for children the only way they can have contact with their parents is, incarcerated parent is through the telephone. the privatization of medical services, money transfer. it's billions in terms of predatory activity. and dos the toy jeff sky -- dostoyevsky says if you want to understand the heart of a society, look in their prisons. look what they do to most vulnerable. and now we have almost a million prisoners who work for for-profit corporati

the re-authorization provisions that are included in this overall omnibus ball would determine whether juvenile sex offender information would be accessible. i step forward as it relates to comprehensive criminal justice reform addressing questions. and it would reduce the time that certain but not all juvenile offenders are required to register. i welcome these changes as steps in the right direction which is what happens when we work this a bipartisan manner to address the concerns which i supported as h.r. 1188 last year. now what has happened is we have 6847 that incorporates a number of owe problems with problematic provisions that would require mandatory life imprisonment. no one is condoning or supporting any of these heinous acts or individuals. under section 3559 of title code , and committed against a child and who is guilty against a child must be accepted to life imprisonment. this would amend 3559 to add more predicate offenses of a life sentence namely sex conduct with a mipor. missing the fact of not allowing judges to be involved in the septembering of these particular
