now, according to the doctors at oregon health & science university, the gene editing did not alter dna in other ways. they also say the embryos were never meant to be implanted, and were only grown for a few days. the research is a long way from clinical use, but marks a major milestone in the prospect of one day protecting babies from a variety of hereditary conditions. joining me now is dr. michael glassner. dr. glassner is the founder and medical director at mainline fertility and reproductive medicine. dr. glassner, thanks for being with us. so, are you surprised that this is where we are, or did you see this coming? michael glassner: not surprised because it's essentially a marriage of two scientific advances that we've been working with. crispr's been being used for treatment of hiv, for cancer research. and locating a genetic defect on an embryo we've been using in the ivf centers with pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, whereby a couple who has an inherited disease like tay-sachs, cystic fibrosis, can come in, we can create embryos identifying which embryos are affected and whi

he is chairman of the department of neurological surgery in oregon health and science university in portlanddoctor, thank you for being here. tell us what you saw. >> shepard, thank you for having me. it was really something that i never and had imagined. done the embankments on both side of this crossing, and down onto the highway. dozens upon dozens of first respondents responding vehicles with patients being treated to be taken to area hospitals. >> shepard: what did you do specifically to help people who were there? tell us what you you found yourself in the middle of? >> i was not sure if i'd be more in the way or of help immediately that environment that they needed medical support. it took me over to the triage tents, and it worked with the radiologist from airbase lewis-mcchord and a nurse from a local hospital who had driven up, we're looking at patients in making quick checks of all their extremities and the abdomen and chest, neck, spine, head, figuring out who was injured and how badly, and making sure that's priority patients got to the right hospitals. >> without specifics abou

david: the oregon science health university, you gave them $500 million for cancer research.iven recently $400 million for a program at stanford university. so when you give them $400 million gift or a $500 million gift, do you write a check out or wire the money and is it hard to write the check? [laughter] phil: yes. some of it has been given in stock and some paid out over a few years. david: you had two sons, one died tragically in the scuba diving accident. in his honor, you have done some things. how have you tried to memorialize him in that way? phil: well he was a big sports fan, so gave some money to the university of oregon for their new basketball arena, which was named after him. david: today, what is left for you to accomplish and what haven't you accomplished? phil: i look back on the last couple of years and i am happy in those years, particularly around the philanthropy and what i've been able to do and will be more ahead, but i take my time to think about those things and i'm feeling good about things right now. david: so do consult with your wife on things l

now, oregon has about 1% of the population of the united states, so what would be their share if we would instead invest that $3 trillion in infrastructure and health care and education? for oregon, that would be $30 billion. $30 billion. now, that's 30,000 $1 million grants to invest in infrastructure needed all over our state. to invest in more teachers all over our state. to invest in lower cost of tuition so every child could go to a public university without debt. but that's not what we have tonight. no. now, my friends across the aisle say we're going to wave the magic wand and give all this money, all this $3 trillion to the richest americans, and jobs are going to automatically appear. but it's been analyzed by the experts. they say this barely increases the growth of the economy. just a smidgen, almost immeasurable. and there are these countereffects. you have the challenge that this bill will create a lot of money for companies that are going to buy machines to replace people who work, accelerating the automation in america that destroys jobs. this bill is going to send jobs overseas, destroying the foundation for success for millions of

oregon as model states. here's a quote from the health department. the number one complaint was odor. and most jurisdictions felt that the retail sale of cannabis was ruled out too quickly and the edible cannabis and wish they had more control over the cannabis market. we as a community understand the need for an mcd. we all have loved ones who suffered from cancer, or other illnesses. marijuana has helped them in some way. i myself lost my sister carolina to cancer just a month ago. the properties that make marijuana cannabis helpful to treat nausea and pain comes from the cbds in marijuana, they are not psycho active. irving street is not the right location. there are companies like spare, that will deliver if you're not able it drive. and if you can drive, go to harvest on gary boulevard, 20 minutes away from 202nd and irving. we as a community understand proposition 464 has passed and unfortunately marijuana is here to stay. but there is a new game in town of the new game is called recreational adult use. and this is just a you've nix for getting high or getting stoned. there are

oregon, 140,000 children right now that receive their health care through the children's health insurance program. starting in january, if there's no action, we will see millions of children losing their health insurance. california, colorado, delaware, florida, idaho, massachusetts, pennsylvania, texas, utah, virginia. and then each month we will seal funding that will be eliminated. and in total, we're talking about nine million children. this has been a bipartisan program. this came out of committee on a bipartisan vote in september. senator hatch, senator wyden, i was pleased to join them in putting together a five-year extension. it came out of committee strong bipartisan support. only one no vote. i assumed that it was going to be brought up on the floor before september 30 and passed. and yet, 73 days later children and families across the country are still waiting. the other piece of health care that's been so critical to families, to children, to individuals across our country is funding for community health centers which, by the way, also has strong bipartisan support. senator r

health for children in this country. even more important because of the republicans' relentless assault on the affordable care act and destable idesing insurance markets. yet state after state, including my home state of oregon, is facing the difficult task of sending out notices to families that they're no longer going to have access to this critical health care. and in the backdrop of all of this, we're watching a republican tax program which would be the largest transfer of wealth in our nation's history paid for by mortgaging the future of our children and grandchildren. $1.5 trillion extra debt. and when you put in the fact that we'll have to pay interest on that, $2.3 trillion to be able to give some of the largest corporations and the wealthiest americans even more tax benefits. nd we are -- tax e neglecting benefits to some who don't need it and we still don't have an infrastructure plan which the president promised. $1 trillion of infrastructure spending to rebuild and renew america. well, i'll tell you there would be bipartisan support for any reasonable plan going forward. in fact, we have people in the american transportation industry who were saying raise our taxes. the fuel tax has been raised

it would mean continued access to health care for approximately nine million children across the country that are enrolled in chip, another 122,700 in oregon alone. our house bill was fully funded. we did the heavy lift. we funded it through responsible reforms like asking seniors who make 40,000 a month, $480,000 a year, to pay about $135 more for their medicare. rich seniors pay a little more. i'm sure these grandmothers and grandfathers would do that to help kids afford their health insurance. we paid it. it's ready to go. we need the senate to act. i commend the appropriations committee and the leadership there for putting this provision in so we won't let kids fall through the gap. with that, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from new jersey reserves. the gentlelady from new york reserves. the gentleman from new jersey. mr. frelinghuysen: i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the gentleman in the health and commerce subcommittee, dr. burgess of texas. two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. burgess: i thank the chairman fo

health of senator john mccain who's battling brain cancer. he's in a washington area hospital right now. we're back with democratic senator ron wyden of oregonmember of the intelligence and budget committees, finance committee as well. let's talk a little bit about what we heard yesterday from the deputy attorney general rod rosenste rosenstein. he testified in front of the committee and defended robert mueller and his investigation. he also faced a barrage, very tough questions from republicans on the committee who appear to be questioning robert mueller's credibility. there seems to be an effort to get mueller fired. you buy that? >> i certainly am troubled. bob mueller's work is especially important because he is working on the follow the money issues. these are really the crucial questions you see with papadopoulos, manafort, flynn, i mean, the details with respect to manafort, there's more shoes to drop here. and i can tell you that when you look at these follow the money questions, paul manafort is not going to be able sweep all the details under the expensive rugs he was buying. it is very important to protect bob mueller's ability to

oregon went from 15% uninsured to 5% uninsured. hundreds of thousands of people gained access to health care through the expansion of medicaid and through the health care exchange made affordable by the tax credits provided by that bill. in that bill, we were able to provide free preventative health care practices, and we all know that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but we embodied that in the health care world. in that bill, we fought for folks to be able to stay on their parents' policies to age 26. in that bill, we fought to say that if you have preexisting conditions, you wouldn't have to pay any more than anyone else would, creating the opportunity for health care for millions of people who thought they would never have a chance to have an insurance policy again. al franken threw himself into public life, won that campaign, made that happen, not just for the folks back home in minnesota, but for people across this entire nation. another such battle was the dodd-frank battle. again i doubt we would have been able to win that battle without him coming to share in that effort. i think about the fact that we had seen

would say to my friend from oregon, there are a lot of problems facing our country -- a declining middle class, 40 million people living in poverty, 28 million people having no health insurance. i am not aware that one of the great crises facing this country is the need to provide tax breaks to wealthy hedge fund managers who have established residency in the caribbean. it may be one of those great national crises that i have missed, but i don't quite perceive it as being an issue that the american people seem to be deeply concerned about. and i would hope, mr. president, that my republican colleagues -- maybe senator hatch or others -- will come down to the floor and tell us who this provision benefits. are we talking about one hedge fund manager? are we talking about two? are we talking about three? hedge fund managers who are going to divvy up some $600 million in tax breaks over the next decade. and i would yield -- or ask my colleague from oregon, who is the ranking member of the senate finance committee, his thoughts on the issue. mr. wyden: i'm very pleased that my colleague from vermont is discussing this issue on the floor. the finance democratic staff has
