fulfill our environmental management commitments, in addition to these smart people. america needs smart policies. scott and ryan and i were both talking about smart regulations. not deregulation, obviously getting regulations out of the way that just cost people jobs and opportunities. and having the smart regulations in place. since coming aboard i've engaged in a number of with my counterparts from across the world, i went to the g7 in rome and talked to energy ministers from six other major countries. it's not lost on me and our conversations are about how our resources are so important to the future of this world. right here in the united states, we have an abundance of resources, we're so blessed, judge, tough the resources that we have in this country. the technologies, that can be used to further benefit not only our citizens, but the environment. under the leadership of president donald trump, that's exactly what we're getting. >> i know a lot of you, we talked about this out in the hall earlier. a lot of you are coming through this regulately haze you've been in ove

we don't believe, we do not believe that the wealthy people in america need a tax break. we did not believe people making over $1 million make more help than a family that has a child with cancer or a 50-year-old couple that has a mom and a nursing home. we don't believe that. i don't know why our republican colleagues do because so are away from what america believes. we hope to have the same. this weekend over at think everyone of us had rallies and activities in our state and we are going to be doing that constantly from the time we go home to the time we come back. [inaudible] i think the activity of the groups out there have been terrific and i'm so gratified that my caucus from joe manchin to bernie sanders was active in their state and throughout the country in showing how bad this proposal plus and i think it made a difference. [inaudible] >> it just says the republicans on this issue from day one democrats have been united and republicans have been divided and on defense. that's because again the core of their bill is so, so out of touch with what the average amer

people. he is trying to move the needle from the policy not to help america but to help the cuban people whore looking for someone across the sea to show that they stand with them. i think this will be the first step in this direction. >> heather: the vice president is going to walk into the shot there i believe, he is going to be speaking next. >> cuba is obviously very emotional issue. there is zero evidence that increasing sanctions against cuba is a move toward democracy. we tried that for six decades and we still have this regime in cuba that is obviously not friendly to the united states and not good to its own people. i guess if we are looking at the america first point, which i think greg made a great point earlier, this doesn't help our economy, and i think that is important looking at it as an american. obviously this is a partial roll caught roll, more of a tweak. >> heather: we are going to pause and take a listen to what the vice president is saying. [applause] vice president vice >> welcome to a historic day, a day where the world will witness america once again standing in sol

and now that i'm your president, america will expose the crimes of the castro regime and stand with the cuban people in their struggle for freedom. because we know it is best for america to have freedom in our hemisphere, whether in cuba or venezuela. and to have a future where the people of each country can live ut their own dreams. [applause] for nearly six decades the cuban people have suffered under communist dom nage. to this day, cuba is ruled by the same people who killed tens of thousands of their own citizens, who sought to spread their repressive and failed ideology throughout our hemisphere, and who once tried to host enemy nuclear weapons 90 miles from our shores. the castro regime has shipped arms to north korea and fueled chaos in venezuela. while imprisoning innocents, it has harbored cop killers, hijackers and terrorists. it is support -- it has supported human trafficking, forced labor, and exploitation all around the globe. this is the simple truth of the castro regime. my administration -- [applause] will not hide from it, excuse it or glamourize it. and we will never, ever be bli

people. so that they can enjoy the freedom and the liberty, with a very clear message. america is prepared to outstretch its hand and work with the people of cuba, but we will not, we will not empower their oppressors! [applause] and you mark my words, whether it's in six months or six years, cuba will be free. and when it is -- [applause] and when it is, i believe that the people on the island and history will say that perhaps the key moment in that transition began on this day here in this theater, when each of you, and -- with each of you, and with a president that was willing to do what needed to be done so that freedom and liberty returns to the enslaved island of cuba. cheers and applause] [speaking foreign language] [speaking foreign language] god bless you. thank you. cheers and applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the governor of florida, rick scott. cheers and applause] mr. scott: first, it is great to be here. with president trump, vice president pence, and all of you. and it's great they're in the great state of florida. [applause] as the governor of th

it seems like one of the problems in america today is the plutocrats running the american society and not allowing the peoplein america to be in charge, mainly of losing up to where people have been for a very long time. it seems the upward mobility idea of what he is proposing about education and the ability to do that is rather shortsighted. because i do not believe that most people in america are oflly wanting to be part what they see a something that is greatly harming america. the fact that we have less of a democracy, so to speak, in spite of the fact that we are a constitutional republic. yet we are seeing less of the people being taken care of while there is a push towards upward mobility is available but we seem to have this struggle between the have and the have-nots. i do not believe the education and what they are decided with it is going to be adequate to educate americans properly for anything that will be available in the future, because it seems the track record of the plutocrats would be to keep people, some being upwardly mobile. that would be my comment -- how can we address the fact that

we have an opportunity to restrain. >> congressman hill, for people suffering -- a lot of america, peopleof jobs, whether it's mine, auto, manufacturing in the part of the country you come from what answer might your bipartisan legislation give them? what should they be looking forward to? this perkins act shifts power back to the states and gets rid of some bureaucracy, gives more power to the states with those federal dollars to fill in-demand jobs in partnership with industry and that's a big change it's less bureaucratic, more action-or yented. there's six million skilled gap jobs in our country and this legislation tackles that. we saw in detroit the home builder who lost his job in the recession but was retrained in an apprenticeship program in detroit's largest hospital as a radiation technology person and is doing well financially and in happiness. >> it's not a message a lot of people get. congresswoman lawrence, you said you'll stand by the president of infrastructure and retraining but you are a member of the congressional black caucus which has declined an ini have nation for

the harbor in the city in which i live, when economic and social advancement is a goal for all peoples, america has always been a better country when we embrace that role. what would it mean for israel and the jewish people worthiest to retreat, to look inward and disengage from a world that's evermore interconnected and interdependent? the challenges we face will not go away if america closes her eyes to the next four years. they will still be there when she opens them and it will have grown immensely. so the best thing i say to you with complete conviction, the best thing for israel and for macworld over is a strong engaged america on the world stage. we must work to keep it that way. [applause] >> well, the late shimon perez once called ajc the foreign ministry of the jewish people. your founders believed the jewish people needed to be master of their own destiny, no matter where they lived. so they worked hard to engage the world, to forge new relationships, to build bonds with nations and communities worldwide. and he did this while promoting the virtues of pluralism, democracy, human righ

we're focused on helping the cuban people. america stands in solidarity with the cuban people. >> trish: let me ask you, secretary, the arrangements already in existence, if you're -- say you had planned to open a hotel in havana, you can still do there but new hotels would be curtailed? >> you can open a hotel in havana if they're working with the people. they can't do so if it's benefitting the military or the government. the cuban military and the cuban regime -- it is a regime -- is taking advantage of the cuban people by doing business with america. what we're saying is, if cuba wants to do business with america and empower the regime and cut the military out of that loop. >> the concern is from some, critics right now, this isn't quite going far enough. that yes, we hear you, the money needs to go to the cuban people and not the cuban government or the military. but are you running the risk that you are not allowing certain industries to be there, that this in fact could be somewhat protectionist? if you already have a deal with

when you look at people america believes better to leave the country only 30% believe the democraticgenda is helpful for the economy, somewhere it really is the economy but ten straight years of 3% growth, first time in history we had that. be plastic of the status quo, not just sick of democrats. to 2016, you had a bush or clinton in the white house or running for the white house and people are tired of that which is why donald trump got elected and sooner or later, you got to get back to the economy because the americans want so badly, they are sick of the status quo. dagen: the message from the democrats in the election cycle, championed by bernie sanders with $15 an imam wage, the american people stepped get and go i want better than earnings minimum wage, i want to prosperity. >> the bernie sanders message was part of the problem. to gary's point the 1% will pay for these things. i don't think people are buying that, giving benefits, losing elections, the european models in that direction where everybody tastes the benefits, sales taxes or higher cost, the believable long-term p

important dialogues which is modernizing our government with the latest technology so that the people of america can benefit from it. so i think the first thing i took away was how important an agenda it is to modernize technology. the second thing is it's best for our to skill the people of the united states for the jobs of the future. technology will play a role both in the creation of the the jobs and the skills. and lastly, i will say we also need to increase american competitiveness. and the two things the government can and has done is responding in big research. after all, all the technology we have today is it started in the government and the research institutions you funded as well as the enlightened immigration policy. of course i'm a beneficiary of that, and i hope that we continue to be able to sort of really make sure the american competitiveness is what helps us set policy for it. >> well, thank you. and perhaps we can keep it a little shorter than that otherwise we might be here for a long time. anyway, jeff. >> all right, i will be short. i think, you know, we met before in dece

why do we want to invite people into america to go on public assistances? meets common sense test, most people support it. president is going to enforce what has been in law since 1996. cheryl: you want them to come here and succeed, and become you know part of the society, and pay taxes and build their lives. economic lives, a report from office of refugee reet -- resettlement found that minors in our care are now in gangs, have you rise of dangerous gangs, ms-13 by the way. should we be talking about immigration reform? than welfare for them? >> absolutely, 2013, thousands of children came across our border, they were disbursed throughout the country, so it is local taxpayers to care that burden, that is why we need the wall, and sensible policies to deal with these, a new study said 1.3 million illegal immigrants use stolen social security numbers, immigration system is a mess for these reasons, past is localities and federal governments are getting starved out because people on public assistant, we have deal with these policies, president will. cheryl:

people in america, especially black people are dealing with ballotsing down with the white supremacy,thought it was really, really important that we put context in there, we brought black women into the conversation, because sometimes we can be left out. i was glad to be on that stage to offer that perspective. >> he seemed very uncomfortable during portions of that comfort. did you get a chance to chat with him about the way he felt about the whole night off-air? >> we took some photos after the show, and of course we did a post overtime show for the internet. he thanked everybody for coming on, thanked us for coming. i believe he heard us. if someone was sitting there telling me, you know, reading me the riot over what i want, i too might be tense, but i'm glad we were able to have the conversation. i hope not only my words, but ice cube's words and dr. dyson's words really stuck, and he takes this into account the next time. he is an ally on this fight. he's been on the front lines for a lot of things, but even sometimes you have to tap your brothers and sisters in the struggle and

it is about building a confident america, an america where people are confident that they can get a jobt pays well in an economy that is growing. an america where people are confident that their children will grow up with a real security and opportunity. and we want an america where people are confident that they can withstand any challenge and emerge even stronger. this to me is the great task that is before us. i've got to chile, because these are anxious times we all feel it. it's not something we often think about in the rush of our daily lives. but we are being tested. our capacity to come together and it always move forward toward a better combination is being tested. that is what defines us as americans. it's not about our struggles. it is about how we overcome them, how we bounce back pics of this is what drives the everyday as a policy maker. how do we build up our country's antibodies? you know what i mean when i say that come is how do we fill up that well of resilience we can call on when things get tough. i believe i have come to the exact right place to talk about how we g

and i especially say to people living in rural america how sorry i am that people aren't paying attention to your needs, that your hospitals may be cut because of an ill-considered piece of legislation that has nothing to do with delivering health care in rural colorado or rural america. we can do so much better than this. but to get to a place, unfortunately, where democrats and republicans have the opportunity to work together, the first order of business has to be to defeat the bill that's on the floor. i hope people know that this is the week when it's critical to call and let your voices heard, let people know you expect something better than what we're getting. and americans ought to have a health care system that's affordable, that's predictable and that actually creates stability instead of instability for their families. mr. president, i yield the floor. and i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. bennet: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from colorado. mr. bennet: thank you, mr. president. i'd ask t
