.) >> well, good morning, everyone and leader pelosi let me say this you've been not only a wonderful leader for our community but for the nation and it is just incredible what maybe under debate in washington, d.c. but all of us have to pay attention we literally have to pay attention and make sure that we push forward the things we support and help leader pelosi and help congress really make sure their embarrassing education i want to use a procedure i think is done on the floors of congress i want to say i want to society myself with a comment leader pelosi i want to listen to the students the heart of what this nomination is all about i want to say this as well time after time in life as it is and politics or business when your challenged as this institution has been you find out who our real friends are you know that the department of justice was loulth for the real friends as an institution i know that the administrators were looking out who are really going to support us in this time of crisis ultimately i knew the students who know this institution has the most affordable plac

how about nancy pelosi? nancy pelosi: the clintons will have to answer for the foundation. i would imagine president clinton's participation in that event increased the take and the money spent at the foundation is for a very good cause as well. everyone benefited from it. no question, it raises questions that they will have to answer. john: ouch. with friends like that who needs enemies? mark, which of these three developments are the most ominous for hillary and bill clinton? mark: in 2008, nancy pelosi was often not the most supportive of democrats for hillary clinton. i think it is a tie. the new york times and the nancy pelosi thing, because in both cases, you have people speaking out and being critical of the clintons and not helping them in a way that is ominous because if people are not afraid to say what they think and what they know about the clintons' past practices, they will have a tough time emerging as a general election campaign in a strong position. john: i think it is unequivocally the third story. no doubt. everybody looks at the clinton foundation -- the

nancy pelosi is here with us u.ouse of representatives and we're honored to have you here today. thank you for joining me. >> my pleasure. >> let's get down to it we have a lot to get to today. we want to start with developing story about your predecessor, denny hastert, who was the house speaker. what's your reaction to the indictment for allegedly hiding payments and lying to the fbi? >> it's surprising, i think that would be a universal response. and of course it remains to be seen what comes forth now but it's very sad for him and sad really for the congress. we don't like one of our former leaders to be some this kind of situation. >> in our first read chuck todd's team writing about if you thought congress's image couldn't get worse, think again. average americans think the place is full of crooks and creeps may have more ammo. >> when mr. hastert was speaker, our run for winning the house in 06 was to say we were running against cronyism. we had no idea that would include speaker of the house. >> when did you

nancy pelosi.cy pelois: i believe thereir participation increased the take and it is for a good cause as well. everyone benefited from it. no question, it raises questions have to answer. john: ouch. with friends like that who needs enemies? which of these three developments are the most ominous for hillary and bill clinton? mark: in 2008, nancy pelosi was often not the most supportive of democrats hillaryfor hillary clinton. in both cases, you have people speaking out and being critical of the clintons and not helping them in a way that is ominous because if people are not afraid to say what they think and what they know about the clintons' past practices, they will have a tough time emerging from the general election campaign. john: i think it is unequivocally the third story. everybody looks at the clinton foundation -- the thing with the charity is sort of shocking. the fact that nancy pelosi is not being more robust in the defense of the clintons. she is a canary in the coal mine. if other dem

here to welcome back in the the first time and certainly many, many times she's been here leader pelosi but before i have her come up i'd like to say thank you to all of you that have helped the institution there it's 80 years of support to the economy and people of the families of this great city you know as we start enrollment today for the summer i'm very happy to announce the spring semester was the turning point of the institution the first time in 3 years we've eclipsed the enrollment numbers and on our way back (clapping) you know it's my privilege as the chancellor to stand here and tell you this institution was here not only for the students but for the community we've served like as talked about did hospitality industry this this wonderful culinary arts served we have over 3 thousand courses we provide almost on a daily basis to students who want to do better who want to live a dream we create dreams for those who don't have them and create americans when they come to our shores as immigrant and teach them english but more importantly we teach them how to adapt and become part

[applause] >> good afternoon everyone. welcome to the capital. normally, speaker boehner would reside over this ceremony. over the weekend, his younger brother rick passed away. the speaker is with his family today in southwest ohio. he asked me to send his deepest regards and regrets that he is unable to be here. today, pursuant to hr 1209, we will present a congressional gold medal to the doolittle tokyo raiders. the gold-medal represents congress' highest expression of gratitude for distinguished achievements and contributions. it is being presented to the doolittle raters for their -- doolittle raiders for the outstanding heroism during world war ii. the metal will make its way to the national museum of the united states air force and date ohio where it will be permanently placed. general john hudson, the director of the museum, is with us to receive the medal. thank

obama pelosi, and reid, all saying various things that make absolutely no sense at all.the unintended consequences of the disastrous foreign policy we have. president obama likes to point to a 60 nation coalition that apparentlyy has signed up to confront isis. outside of a few. countries that are undertaking a few bombing missions, there is little sign the coalitionis is effective. maybe italy spain and germany have noticed the millions of people trying to illegally cross into europe from africa and the middle east. many of them fleeing terrorism, much of it generated by isis. as thousands drowned in the mediterranean sea, the leaders of the european union fiddle, imitating near row, too corrupt or incompetent to do anything about the terror threat. the whole world is changing, the jihad is advancing u yet the 60 nation coalition is as impotent as any group ever be. there isn't enough viagra in the world. as american power recedes abroad tyrants like putin in russian take advantage. this is another result of presidenty. obama's weak foreign policy. president obama met w

as usual congresswoman pelosi living in the land of oz. has no blanking clue has he what's happening. same thing with senate minority leader harry reid. >> the situation in the middle east is disruptive as we speak. it's tough situation. the president has done the best he can with the tools that he is given by the constitution what congress has allowed him to do. >> are you kidding me? there are are many members of congress pounding the table for more action against isis and other jihadist groups. so is here we have the three most powerful democrats in the nation, mr. obama pelosi, and reid, all saying various things that make absolutely no sense at all. now, the unintended consequences of the disastrous foreign policy we have, president obama likes to point to a 60 nation coalition that apparently has signed up to confront isis. outside of a few countries that are undertaking a few bombing missions, there is little sign the coalition is effective. maybe italy spain and germany have noticed the millions of people trying to illegally cross

pelosi: good morning everyone. as congress proceeds with its agenda it's important to observe what is happening under the formula of trickle-down economics failed republican approach and middle class economics, which is there to turn our economy around by supporting bigger paychecks for the middle class. this week republicans continue to double down on their trickle down priorities at the expense of the middle class, with the latest completely unpaid for permanent deficit exploding tax measure. yesterday $182 billion for an unpaid permanent r&d tax credit earlier it was $269 billion. $269 billion. more than a quarter of a trillion dollars for 5,400 families estates, in america. 5,400 families benefit over a quarter of a trillion dollars to pay for that tax break. combining the 269 182, and other little some here, some there, we are now past $600 billion, adding $600 billion to the deficit in unpaid for permanent tax measures. really this is not trickle down. this is turning into a real storm practically. a tsunami

and in an interview today msnbc's patrick murphy, house democratic leader nancy pelosi talked about theote authorizing force in iraq. watch this. >> at the time when we were taking vote i was a senior democrat. i had again senior democrat on the intelligence committee. my statement at the time was, the intelligence does not support the threat. so the terminology knowing what we know now. no knowing what we influence then. the intelligence did not support the threat. >> dane hillary clinton has been criticized for not taking questions from the press. at this point is that helping her or hurting her? >> well on this issue perhaps it is helping her because she was on a different side of the issue from where you were and where nancy pelosi was. and where the democratic base wants her to be right now. i think hillary clinton's reluctance to open up the "ttuqáurjju in general is a problem for her and for the democrats. but on this one, it is a very obvious decision to make. she can't say what you just said. >> that's why i raised hillary clinton. >> knowing what we know now, we should have el

pelosi: let's see what comes out of the senate. they'll be taking up the currency -- customs bill and currency will be part and the africa and special preferences legislation. then they start the debate on the other two trade promotion act and the trade adjustment act. we'll see what comes through the amendment process there. you go back and forth on specifics and can we have any changes that might be made in the t.p.p., the actual bill, the transpacific bill, what partnership. but one concern that people have about the trade promotion act is, of course we would love to see the substitute pass because it empowered congress, had more transparency more consultation with congress, and the rest. that was not made in order by the house republicans. but one -- we would prefer that. but one overriding concern that members have on the t.p.a. is that this is not a t.p.a. for the transpacific -- trade promotion act, fast track just for the pacific bill. the t.p.p. bill or the european bill. -- bill that will be coming up. this is really effe

i asked minority leader nancy pelosi when that's going to change.ook at what happened unfortunately, a week ago. i know it all too well with the amtrak train -- >> lucky for your courage. >> when you look, the american society of civil engineers rated the infrastructure a d-plus. that's not just obviously rail but the regular bridges roads, waters systems et cetera. what do you think -- what more needs to be done to really up our grade and be more competitive as a nation? >> this has been a challenge for us for a while. for most of the time infrastructure partisan issues -- infrastructure transportation problems have not been partisan. now we can add broadband and infrastructure for newer technologies that you named. under president obama, the republicans have resisted his initiatives to build confidence in our infrastructure. there's never going to be enough appropriated dollars to meet the deficit that the american society of civil engineers describes. it's in the trillions of dollars. we have to think imaginatively of how we use the dollars we ha

pelosi has lined up her liberal democrats in the house against it. she's also joined in the senate by harry reid who has not necessarily said he's totally against it but said he will not move until republicans move forward on a new patriot act and infrastructure bill. president obama directly in a combative role here with the head of his party in the house and head of his party in the senate. liberals do not like this deal. they do not trust it. they say, and i've talked to many of them. there's not enough environmental protections and worker protections here. if anything this deal will encourage more american jobs to go oversees. republicans on the other hand say look what this will do is allow more manufacturing jobs to come to the united states. it eliminates duties and tariffs. oregon benefits from trade by location and having companies like nike. white is the person that negotiated this. that being said president obama will push this on backs of gop working hand in hand with boehner and mcconnel to accomplish something which is not something you

, we heard from nancy pelosi highlighting -- that is still a we heard from nancy pelosi today highlighting problem. this is why the tuesday vote in the senate was such a surprise. and ais still a challenge house, but it looks good for the president, in terms of getting this done. but we are not here yet, betty, and there are still some curveballs in the house, and even john boehner said this but would not happen next week. perhaps in the weeks to come? pimm: we are going to be watching this, this is it for me in this half hour, betty, what is up for you? betty: coming up in the next half hour, stanley druckenmiller is hammering away at an aging u.s. population, and investors are dragging their feet and he thinks it is going to bankrupt this country. what are we going to do about that? don't go anywhere. ♪ [beeping] ooo come on everybody, i think this is my grandson.

the singer shakira or house minority leader nancy pelosi. its 100 powerful women list. the names at the very top, angela merkel of germany. hillary clinton. they top the list. mary bar of general motors. of course, they're one through five. janet yellen. but what we found interesting at "countdown" was some of the placement of other women on the list. (?) for example, beyonce came in ahead of yahoo's marissa mayer. beyonce was 21. marissa mayer, 22. actually i thought she was 27. twenty-two. nancy pelosi comes in at 38. behind vogue editor anna wintour. i know anna wintour is strong, but -- mary jo white is behind shakira. if you're deciding who has more power to affect your life. were there any names that surprised you? head to facebook.com/on call. the whole list is there of everybody one through 100 including our own greta van susteren of fox news, yes. tell us who you think should be ahead of those names. after a long cold and wet season, lumber prices drop to a three-year low. several lumber stocks taking a hit. new home sales did jump

that didn't work out so well in 2010 and 2014. >> nancy pelosi said how do we support this?n't know what's in it. that didn't stop her with obamacare. >> we'll end there. that's it for the panel. stay tune for a city council meeting where those in attendance got an earful they were not counting on. aning the gutters. have you touched the stuff? it's evil. and ladders... awwwwwww!!!!! they have all those warnings on them. might as well say, "you're going to die, jeff". you hired someone to clean the gutters? not just someone. someone from angie's list. but we're not members. we don't have to be to use their new snapfix feature. angie's list helped me find a highly rated service provider to do the work at a fair price. come see what the new angie's list can do for you. >>> finally tonight, a city council meeting got some comic relief in georgetown texas, last week. council member rachel johnroe was in the middle of a presentation when nature called for that town. when he left to use the facilities well, his microphone was never shut off. >> what we can do is call on represent

more than 150 members of congress took a stand against it including nancy pelosi who was asked about her access yesterday. >> at the time we were taking a vote, i had been the senior democrat on the intelligence committee. my statement at the time was the intelligence does not support the threat. so the terminology, knowing what we know now, no, knowing what we knew then there was no -- this intelligence did not support the threat. >> joining me now former massachusetts congressman barney frank who also voted against the iraq war the. he's an nbc contributor, are author of the new memoir "frank." are you tearing your hair out at this knowing what we know now question as if, you know, obviously the natural thing to conclude at the time was that, of course, you had to go to war based on the intelligence as if you didn't exist, as if nancy pelosi didn't exist and hundreds of thousands across the world were saying no, no, no, please don't do this. >> chris, to be honest, the only hair pulling i see right now, and i have to tell you this, is many people in the media who were so upset hill

whether the bills are pelosi's bills or baiper's bills, we can do better.got to pass a thousand page bill, the process is broken. one of the benefits of being an early primary state like iowa new hampshire, south carolina, is that we get all the candidates coming through our states. a lot of them will be on this stage today. any one sticking their toe in the presidential waters will come see us. a lot of the faces are here today, and they bring fresh ideas, new energy and we get to play a big part in influencing their platforms. what resinates with us or not. that's why i said earlier show with your applause what you agree with. remain silent if you don't. they need to hear that. you're helping them in that stage of the game begin to set their platform and understand what resinates with us conservative americans. it's about inspiring the people with a vision of what they hope and what we want the nation to be post 2016. what do they need to hear from us? well, i talking about it in terms of jobs energy and the founding fathers. what's that mean? well jobs.

pelosi is running on this "drain the swamp" platform. she wins. democrats take control of the house, and they created this panel. they created a task force to determine how to reform the ethics process. before that, literally, the ethics committee had rules that said eventually, no one can file a complaint, except for a member of congress, and the two parties had agreed to never file a complaint. so, you had this process where the ethics cops were handcuffed to their own deathesks. host: that leads to rogers question, can the ethics committee be brought before the ethics committee? guest: that is a very good question. a member of the ethics committee can be brought before the ethics committee. in theory, that person would simply be excused from the ethics committee fora period of time. it is members of congress policing themselves, essentially. there is no other place where we would see that, and expect that kind of behavior. host: leaders of that committee -- charlie dent is the chairman. linda sanchez of california, the ranking member on that co

feinstein staff and the boxers staff the one of the most interesting meetings was with the minority pelosi staff we meet with her folks and the person if her local office is here in d.c. we meeting met with the health care person and the person that does the social support side of the office we spent almost an hour covering transitional care and the issues in our various communities to transportation policies that the federal level so it was a really, really interesting conversation we will be doing a followup with them regarding the things we're interested in in terms of feinstein and boxers'ss office we've asked them the american act passed out of committee if they'll consider signing on as to whether this happens and we know that boxer was interested if having an implementation for the adults so we're not sure if they've been taken place the amendments or not appoint but this chance that feinstein and boxer will finalize and go to the house on that side just so remind you the things that's been holy up the reauthorization was the funding formula they've reached and deal ultimately will

i had the opportunity to travel to asia with pelosi. there were 10 of us. a bipartisan delegation, and i was the only freshman. i had the honor of representing not only the freshman class but also armed services, and i think that through just that visit and the visit to the pacific command, to get the pacific command brief, surprisingly, many senior members of our delegation were unaware of the important of hawaii, on being the strategic hub and headquarters for our military across asia, the pacific, and the indian ocean, so i think that in and of itself is important to talk about, because i constantly am talking to colleagues and inviting them to hawaii and letting them know how important, strategically important, hawaii is for the united states. host: reading about your background, you were one of the first in hawaii to buy a nissan leaf. alternate fuel vehicle. what prompted that decision? rep. mark takai: well, that goes back to -- truthfully, that was back to me being deployed in the middle east in 2009. hawaii is a very beautiful place, but we have ou

nancy pelosi will join us at 2:00 p.m. eastern. is your morning dish of scrambled politics. 22 past the hour. i am joined by kevin cirilli. >> happy friday. thank you for having me. >> absolute lay. we have to talk about this because everybody is. the former exspeaker's indictment is sending shock waves. the big question is who is this person he was paying hush money to and why? >> individual a. is what this person is called in the indictment. it really has sent shock waves all over the inside the beltway and outside the beltway. a lot of unanswered questions this morning such as who was this person getting the money? when were they getting the money? it mentioned him as a head coach and teacher decades ago before he got into politics. a lot of unanswered questions. the whole indictment is a very strange piece of legal documents because just because of how many questions it's left unanswered. >> yeah. he was a republican speaker for a very long time. he must really want to hide something extremely damaging if these allegations in t

today specifically xwlamed this crash on a lack of funding and watch what happened as both nancy pelosiighed in. >> i don't know why but the republicans have been very much against amtrak for a very long time. >> well obviously, it is not about funding. the train was going twice the speed limit. >> moments ago, i spoke with charles, a fox news contributor and author of "things that matter." a "the new york times" number one zestbest seller. good to see you. it's republicans hate amtrak. that's what caused the crash. >> well i mean, ray la hood the former transportation secretary under obama blamed it on crumbling infrastructure and of course we need more money. you know how stupid do they think we are? this is a train going 102 miles per hour in a 50 mile zone. this is not a crumbled problem. this is a speeding problem. this isn't an infrastructure problem. this is a personnel problem. but the knee jerk reflexive reaction of any democrat of anything that happens in the country is throw more money at it. you get the riots in baltimore, reflexive answer is throw more money at the schools.

nancy pelosi told the associated press that republicans will room the day if they strike down health the affordable health care about. shepherd was killed in wyoming 17 years ago. his death put a national spotlight on the gay rights movement. john bolton will announce whether he is running for president. he served under george w. bush. a match tomorrow night. check out the video. >> you may think this is just a joke but i'm taking this very seriously. hello? >> mitt, you can't run. you can't hide. >> the boxing match will benefit charity. and that is your morning dish of scrambled politics. 20 minutes past the hour. joining me bob franken. i think i got evander for that one. i think he's going to take it. >> you ever had an event where you were rooting against both of them? >> wash outtch out. let's talk about politics. within hours of the amtrak crash here philadelphia, house aproep ray or thes voted to slash amtrak's budget. that kind of effect could this have? >> this is really the reflection of a long-time issue in the united states. there's always been an antagonism toward mass

. >>> congresswoman nancy pelosi said beau biden represented the best of america. his life was driven by service. by the love of his family and our country. he battled brain cancer with the same integrity, courage, and strength he demonstrated every day of his life. >>> hillary clinton has a new challenger tonight for the democratic presidential nomination. >> and that is why the you, and to all who can hear my voice, i declare i'm a candidate for the president of the united states. and i am running for you. >> former maryland governor martin o'malley just threw his hat into the race. among his top priorities, rebuilding the economy and reforming wall street. he joins clinton and bernie sanders in the democratic field. >>> get ready for round two between rocana and mike honda. he says he will challenge him again in 2016. they faced off in a fierce battle for the district 17 seat. in the end, honda came out on top. rokhanna called the loss a warmup. >> i want to take the spirit of the people in this community who believe in the democratic process to washington to sa

i want to mention this nancy pelosi in the interview we were showing you last hour with thomas, take she's going to be -- look we have to have an election from you know from maryland we have martin o'malley putting his name forth and bernie sanders put his name forth. who else? i don't know. it's healthy to have a debate. it's clear right now hillary clinton is way out in front and there's a great deal of excitement about having a woman president as capable as she is. >> at this point there could be as many as 19 candidates on the republican side many of them think with very little shot at winning. why are they running? perry you've been talking about this in a new article, you've got seven reasons why the field is so large and part of the point that comes through in what you write, it's not just the fact that a lot of people want to run for president. you point out structural motivations here. tell us about some of them. >> i would blame two people for this, barack obama and sarah palin. sarah palin, of course she ran for vice president and became very famous from that where she had

long-time senator nancy pelosi was one of the opening speakers while lieutenant governor and former san francisco mayor newsome got a standing ovation for his speech. >> one supreme court justice away. >> people protesting vaccination mandates also showed up outside the convention to make their opinions known. the convention will continue throughout tomorrow. >> and the bay area catholic community gathered to support archbishop corlione. they wrote out messages of appreciation. he has been a controversial figure for his views on sexual abstinence and homosexuality. it has not stopped people from standing by his side. >> i think his stance has been misunderstood, misinterpreted by a lot of people. and i hope that that will change that as time goes on what he is doing will be understood and appreciated. >> some attendees also wore blue to today's event to show their solidarity and support for the archbishop. >>> back home and ready for round 3. the golden state warriors no doubt resting up after winning their playoffs series against the memphis grizzlies last night. they arrived at the op

there's also obama versus pelosi and reed. keep an eye on this debate in the democratic party. >>> secretary of jay johnson says the u.s. has entered a new phase of terrorist threats. the fbi director's warnings says use using the internet. the terror group has been encouraging it follow followers to travel to syria. >> we're very definitely in a new phase in the global terrorist threat. the so-called lone wolf could strike at any moment which is why the fbi in my judgment has done an excellent job of interdicting those who are attempting to travel to syria or commit overt acts and support to terrorism. it is a new environment, but we are not discouraging americans from doing the things they do on a daily basis. >> this as former about director of the cia says it is only a matter of time before isis is capable of larger more elaborate attacks on u.s. soil. to the sports world. the nfl top draft pick is filing a countersuit against the woman who accused him of rain. jameis winston filed paperers accusing the woman of damaging t

state students are earned degrees today and listened to advice and praise from congresswoman nancy pelosi. the house democratic leader served as the university's commencement speaker, about half of the graduates were the first in their families to earn a degree. >> this is your day. your success, your achievement. the degrees you receive today have been written in the tools of hard work late nights and juggled responsibilities. your dip mass i are not simply a recognition of completed coursework. they're a fruit of your faith in yourselves. >> very cool of her. very good words there. coach bob latisor accepted an honorary degree and the high school football team went through a 12-season, 151-game winning streak that was depicted in the film "when the game stands tall." >> what is going on here? it's fun. that's the color run. today san jose racers hit the payment and hit each other with colorful dust along the 5-k course the race is not time and along each kilometer people are coated with color, it's for fun. the race has spread worldwide. it ends with the festivities post workout. >>> i

and that's what john boehner said, that's what nancy pelosi said this afternoon. >> dennis became speaker of the house -- i was covering capitol hill at the time -- because he was the guy they knew would have no skeletons in his closet. and for the record, during his time in public life, he didn't have any. >> in fact, the prosecutors are saying that none of the conduct either the financial misconduct and the structuring of payments to avoid suspicion of regulators or the misconduct that occurred with this individual occurred during his period of public service. it was before, when he was a teacher, and then after, when he became a lobbyist and began making a lot of money, that this individual came to him and began soliciting money. he was meting it out in amounts that draw the attention of regularities, because federal law requires that transactions of more than $10,000 be reported. he, according to the indictment, restructured those to avoid the reporting requirements. that in itself is a crime. when he was asked about it by the f.b.i., he indicated this was only for his own purposes. a

it was glorious, nancy pelosi, amazing women, so i was asking them about success and all really good at that. then i said have any of you had any struggles at home given your success and your incredible careers? they all looked as if i seriously something smelled bad in the room. your eyes were like, you went there. the whole room went -- >> the awkward moment that didn't go away. >> i'm like we've got to write about this. and judith talks about it in the book, indra noovi talks about incredible gymnastics in her mind to try to make it work at home. it's not easy stuff. >> when you were at the white house doing the forum, you also had a woman there ceo of b.e.t., when they offered her a job, they asked her to name her salary. what happened? >> she named something way too low. >> a million dollars. >> that is what women do, we depreciate ourselves in real time. but this is something we've got to learn to do that men do really well. they are over confident and make up stuff they think they can bring to the table. then they say it and you know what -- >> sound good saying it by the way.

signed, sincerely, nancy pelosi democratic leader. the speaker pro tempore: the chair lays before the house the following personal requestses. the clerk: leave of absence requested for mr. brady of pennsylvania for today, and ms. cap from california for may 12 through may 1. the speaker pro tempore: without objection -- through may 1. -- 21. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the requests are granted. under the speaker's announced policy of january 6, 2015, the gentleman from arizona, mr. franks is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. mr. franks: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, it's been an amazing day. passed a major bill today mr. speaker that i think is going to have some significant reverberations in this country for a long time. you know, i know that whenever the subject has been abortion, that somehow the rules always change. somehow we don't see it the same way that we do other issues. we don't apply the same principles of logic and reason and even compassion. it seems like that gets l

your democratic leader, nancy pelosi, has said that this is hopefully not the end. that we can negotiate some of these things back in. but between now and the floor, tell us what you want to see negotiated into the existing arrangement and how likely is it you think those changes could be made? congressman sander levin: our substitute laid out with instructions, clear-cut instructions on the key issue, unlike the hatch widen tpa which just has vague objections. it is really a wish list. let me give you a few examples if i might. we want currency involved because the currency has been manipulated in the past by japan, one of the tpp partners and very much by china. it has cost, by some estimates china's manipulation, a loss of one million to 5 million jobs in this country. when japan did it in the 1990's, it also cost, i think, well over a million jobs. mostly in manufacturing. so we need to include that. also, we need to get at the automotive industry. japan has kept out our autos. now there is a consideration at reducing the tariff on their cars. and i want to be s

>> well, you guys have to throw nancy pelosi in the mix, too because she immediately said -- you know, hinted fairly strongly -- that funding was at issue. look, the funding over amtrak has been going on for 40 years. this isn't new. and there isn't any doubt that we've got lots of bridges that carry lots of people and freight that are badly in need of repair, built in the early 20th century, much less the 21st century. the fact of the matter is that there's a lot more that can be done for safety. the various technological devices have been implemented in other parts of the system but just not where the accident occurred. so what we need to do is to re-evaluate the safety procedures on amtrak, on freight lines, as well, and get it right so that this is avoidable. >> and, of course, before the end of the year, as you mentioned, this positive train control device will stop a train from going so fast by the end of 2015, but it wasn't soon enough. >> well, it's taken a long time for that to be implemented. i wish -- i wish terry had been in congress, had been in washington, d.c., on the d

stories about former president bill clinton for doing no major damage to her campaign democrat nancy pelosi suggested otherwise, declaring both clintons will have to deal with troubles at the family's foundation after new revelation about a possible quid pro quo. >> it raises questions that they'll have to answer. >> "the new york times" reported that after turning down two invitations, bill clinton accepted a lifetime achievement award in june 2014 after the group gave the clinton foundation $500,000. >> she could get a real medal, well-deserved for just doing what she did in the tsunami area. >> he lavished praised and a czech model who survived the 2004 tsunami and wanted to give back yet in this case he could have built ten preschools in indonesia. >> the clinton also have to answer for the foundation but i would imagine that president clinton's participation in that event increased the money spent at the foundation for a very good cause. >> reporter: but a fundraising expert at columbia university noted the times that bill clinton was, quote, riding the back of this small charity for,
