treasury, cms changed its position to prioritize programs to ensurers. cms ruled the treasury doesn't get money until the insurers get paid. cms' ininterpretation contradicts the language of the law. their latest interpretation contradicts the plain language of the law. this is just the latest in a long line of examples of the administration breaking its own signature law in an attempt to prochlt it up. the reinsurance program was created to provide financial assistance to insurance companies who offered plans through obamacare. the program incentivized insurance companies to tinseling plans through healthcare.gov and state exchanges because it compensates them for enrolling high risk individuals. final payments for the three-year program will end in 2017. for each enrollee insurance companies contribute a set dollar amount to the program and the funds are distributed to insurers who enroll the highest risk individuals. built into this program was a deficit reduction measure, a proportion of each individual contribution is allocated to the treasury. the

payments should be prioritized and this prioritization further detaches the statutory goals of the program. i know my republican colleagues clearly disagree with this interpretation and are entitled to their view, but the misinformation is counterproductive and does nothing to help a single person. let me conclude by expressing my department. hearings like this only served to hurt americans and perverse the progress that has been made. i believe we should work to improve the law and that ensure all constituents have access to the quality affordable health care they deserve. >> acting administrator. he oversees programs. you have been a force ona force on this committee. >> i ask unanimous consent. >> holding a hearing. you have any objections to testifying under oath? >> i do not. >> you are entitled to the advised by counsel. >> raise your right hand and i will swear un. placed use were the testimony you are about to give is the truth kemal truth, nothing but the truth. >> i do. >> you are now under oath. you may now give a five-minute summary of your written statements. >> i am pleased t

what do we prioritize on to get back to the things you think are important?i shouldn't have to answer the question of how to handle the deficit that the government created. i'm not a government official. i was elected into office to solve these problems. i'm a taxpaying dissent, a young person seeking opportunities and a system that is unable to provide regardless of what the argument is. i say the system of capitalism has proven itself illegitimate and it cannot provide basic things like education, shelter, health care. we need to readjust how we view our society that someone has to defend the right to education. neil: i know you are raising a 4-year-old boy. it is tough and i grant you that. i am wondering that other countries around the world that is try to afford protections like the ones you've outlined they don't spend nearly what we do on our military are in a world of hurt right now. greece, italy, portugal, spain, france. they have provided a lot of entitlement to talk about, including free college and many of those countries. >> they are hurt becaus

do you have any thought into what like languages that we need to prioritize for our communities? >> i'm not prepared to answer that in detail right now. we do have a list of more than the highest ranking languages that are spoken in san francisco in the appendix so if there was -- yeah, i don't know which table to refer you but it says the more common languages and we can certainly -- >> yeah, one other thing i want to point out with the graph of like ethnic composition i think you counted asian twice because you said api and asians. i assume that is pacific islanders and asians. >> i will be sure to check on that. >> [inaudible] >> yes, one of the things that we're really excited about is because all these stakeholder come together like the hospitals, us and if you go across the country it's not like this and it's fragmentd and not all of this collaboration and because we're able to come together with a collective vision allows the hospitals as they invest in the community benefits to align with this common vision and it's also helping philanthropy, the grant makers funding heal

, prioritization, prioritization, guys. we can't do everything. and so we've identified an initial set of foreign partners, if you will. those partnerships today are generating capability that we're actually using today. senator mccaskill: great. and maybe in a classified setting, i could get more information. admiral rogers: yes, ma'am. senator mccaskill: what is the ratio of civilian versus military within the command at this point? admiral rogers: it's about -- we are trying to build about 80% military, 20% civilian. if you looked at it today as a snapshot, it's probably -- off 70%-30%,op of my head, 70% military, 30% civilian. senator mccaskill: and what about contractors? what is the ratio on contractors? and what is your goal on contractors? because this is it -- admiral rogers: right. senator mccaskill: and of course, you know, underlying that is a concern about the actual screening of contractors. what -- what is your -- what is your ratio now of contractors to dod? and what do you want it to be going forward? admir

we can reply ore tights, all i'm asking that's pry prioritize first. let's see where the money goes. >> we no what it's doing with the money. gi the rich and it's paying for war. expensive wars. i'm not confused. maybe you should do mow research. understand where it's going and it's not going anywhere and education because it's not profitable. we live in a system of capitalism where the idea is to make money. if it doesn't make money it's not a priority. we need to restructure our society on hough it's set up and reprioritize what we value as important, and money and profit schmooze not be more important than education and human life, and the fact that it is it a problem. >> thank you very much. >> much more to that interview on the texas news and our fox business web site so you can get a feel. i apologize, a lot of interruptions and talking past each other but cuts to the core of maybe what this entire campaign year is about. the role of government. do you want more of it, less of it, and how do we pay for it? there's a crowd that says the government

compressedthe turnaround cycle and the training cycle we have already discussed, we are the prioritizedecipient of resource the navy had to offer. that wasn't just on the east coast. that was contributing to get us out the door. some cases that may have been at the expense of others. if there was maintenance to be done, maintenance on an aircraft, he cousin that there was very little affect on us. because of the operational availability of our assets on deployment has been very good and i'm very happy with it. we talked about the sailors and the sacrifices they make out here each and every day, to uniform and to serve. that is a remarkable thing. what i would offer to you is one of the most underappreciated patriots are the military families. gone to have all starbucks in an airport, you never know who the spouses are that have endured the same hardships. or are as all into this mission as the sailors that are out here. appreciationr some and recognition while we come out and do this. without their dedication and mission we would not be able to do this. the most fun moment i had in the

two weeks later you went to the senate and said that no decisions had been made to prioritize. in may of 2014, several months later, you came to this committee, and brought a letter from the previous day. you testified to the same thing that says we stress that no decision regarding what to do in a situation was made during the recent debt limit impasses, i will leave it to others to speak to the truthfulness of that statement and the truthfulness of what you have said to this committee. it's not what i want to focus on today. i want to focus on the next piece of the puzzle. >> congressman, if i might -- >> i will, but and i'll give other folks a chance, i'm trying not to take the -- >> when somebody questions the truthfulness of a statement i think i'm permitted an opportunity to respond. >> it's not what i want to talk about. >> you've mischaracterized what i said. >> in fairness -- >> order, mr. chairman. >> the gentlelady will state her point of order. >> the clerk will stop the clock. >> thank you. >> i have a point of order that the committee is not exercising proper deco

thus, we do not know if it will operationalize coordination and prioritization of resources. we have identified challenges with specific agency bio defense programs, like those within dhs. our report in october found that 12 years after the bio watch program was first employed, their is still not information about its capabilities. this is because it was put in the field so quickly without performance requirements. we have found that because bio watch was not fully tested, it its uncertainties are unknown. we recommend dhs not pursue upgrades until it establishes system performance requirements and tests those. i would like to talk about our work on the national integration center. within dhs. be theset up to integrator, analyzer, and innovator of bio surveillance information across the federal government. however, it has never fully met this bar. they have implemented recommendations to collaborate with the cdc and hhs and usda, however, we reported last year that persistent challenges get in the way. for example, most of its primary federal partners, those like cdc, told us

if i had to nail one one key thing is this idea of being able to prioritize investments and prioritize efforts. within each area you can do that because the agencies have control. but across you can't. >> at the agency level you think you are doing a good job prioritizing. but it's that top-down allocation of resources. again, thank you all forks again, your time, your testimony, your answers to our question. the hearing record will remain open for 15 days until april 29th for the submission of statements and questions for the record this. meeting is adjourned. >> announcer: tonight on the communicators, george ford, chief economist for the phoenix center for advanced legal and economic public policy studies, and mark cooper, research director for the consumer federation of america debate the fcc's proposal allowing consumers to buy their own set top boxes instead of renting them from cable providers. a move to open up competition in the set top box market. they are joined by lydia beyoud from bloomberg saus. >> we think we need competition in the set top

investments and prioritize efforts. within each area you can do that because agency and departments have control of those areas. across you can't. you -- >> so agency level you think you're doing a good job prioritizing, it's the top down allocation of resources. again, thank you all for, again, your time, your testimony, your answers to our question. the hearing record will remain open for 15 days until april 29th, 5:00 p.m. for questions. this hearing is adjourned. >>> our live coverage of the presidential race continues tont for the new york state primary. join us, taking you on the road to the white house on cspan, cspan radio and cspan.org. >>> president obama delivers his last speech at the white house correspondents dinner a week from saturday. and coming up this saturday, cspan takes a look at some of his previous speeches from past dinners. >>> all in all we're proud of the change we've brought to washington in these first 100 days. we've got a lot of work left to do as all of you know. i'd like to talk a littl

in short, my services begin to prioritize systems necessary to fight in cyberspace, we're headed headed down the path to a hollow cyber force. just as it would be unacceptable to send a soldier to battle without a rifle, it's unacceptable to deprive our cyber forces the basic tools they need to execute their missions. some service budgets omitted funding for even the most basic tools like those necessary for cyber protection teams to assess and triage a compromise that works. this is unacceptable and i look forward to your assessment of the military services commitment to equipping the cyber force. i also look forward to hearing whether the new acquisition authorities we provided cyber command in fiscal 2016 and daa will help address some of these service induced shortfalls. while i am encouraged by some of the progress the department of defense and cyber command, i remain concerned that the ministration cyber policy as a whole remains detached from reality. for years, our our enemies have been setting the norms of behavior in cyberspace while the white house set idly by hoping the prob

one of the challenges, cyber, like any other, we have to prioritize. when i look at foreign relationships, i ask where is the greater return for us as a department, the dod, and where is the greater return for us, u.s. cyber command. with the discussion with the team what we are not going to do as i discuss what we are going to do. particularly since we're still in the midst of building this capability out, priorization, guys, we can't do everything. we've identified an initial set of foreign partners, if you will. those partnerships today are generating capability we're actually using today. >> great. and maybe in a classified setting, i would get more information -- >> yes, ma'am. >> what is the ratio of civilian versus military in the command at this point? >> it's about -- we're trying to build about 80% military, 20% civilian. if you looked at it today as a snapshot, it's probably -- off the top of my head -- 70/30. 70% military, 30% civilian. >> and what about contractors, what is the ratio on contracts, and what is your goal on contractors? beca

how can we have omaha be able to benefit from that prioritization flexibility? >> well, i think that that comes back to technical assessment of where the -- in any system, there are places where things are happening at higher levels, more frequency events, and then there are places and systems which do not have that kind of frequency or impact. and i think assessments of the entirety of the solution and then plotting that over time for implementation is the key to ultimately getting to something that's reasonable for any given community. >> thank you. mr. chow, the mayor just spoke about the median household income and in your testimony, you spoke about the impact on epa when the agency looks at the community's affordability to cover the unfunded mandates, and you specifically mentioned that the benchmark that's used there. could you explain why that median household income benchmark is harmful to our low and fixed income families? >> sure. of course, as i mentioned, baltimore, 40% of our population in the cities are below median household income at this level a

this has to do with droid mobile operating system and whether google prioritizes its own apps.ly what the amount of this charge. obviously google will have some chance to respond here. we do know in terms of numbers google made $11 billion with google app last year. >> and european competition margaret vestager will be on in europe early tomorrow morning. at the moment google not moving in pre market trade. this has just hit the tape. >> this has been very much expected. we had vestager on about two weeks ago. they announced they were going to be looking into droid as well. so this is been going on for a while. she's also been looking into the tax practices at apple, amazon, and she's received a lot of criticism for going after u.s. technology giants, sort of in a political way to try to help europe. she's fought very hard against this. she had a meeting with treasury secretary lu about it just two weeks ago and here she is bringing action. >> no movement in pre market. let's check on global markets. futures at the moment pointing slightly lower. the dow -- the nasdaq however d

upon issues that were supported by the participants in the group, so we did the brainstorming and prioritize and those were the issues that came out of the meeting >> you agree with the way it is? >> i think it is a start. i want to make sure you understand it isn't the final product. we start with 5, look for additional items that can be incorporated into the 5 and then expand it down the road. >> i know you send this out to the members oo thf group, did you get feedback whether or not they agree? >> with the issues? >> i didn't get anybody that said they didn't. i did have one person say he wanted to work on the congestion issue and i said the problem is there is a lault of issues and we have limited number of people. there is where we are talking about gaps. there is a gap. in a lot of things we just dont have the people because people are working, so that is the limitation for us. >> okay >> we really like to have your support on this. if anybody wants to be i know commissioner dwight is on one of the committees. i believe you are on one of the committees, if anybody else would like to p

not all injury collision data is reported to the police, and so what we have prioritized is linking with police data hospital level data, so as represented in this visual police data would represent this pink circle and hospital record level data would represent the green circle so really the power and strength of merging these two data sources together, which would include trauma registry data from san francisco general hospital, emergency service data and ems data that we increase our capacity to detect traffic injury and it means better decision making from the data and take the data and update our injury network which was shown in the previous slide and make sure we're targeting and allocating our resources to the most dangerous intersections and corridors in the city. as you all know traffic fatalities are the primary metric for measuring progress with vision zero. this chart shows annual fatalities dating back to 2005. you see in san francisco on average we have 30 traffic fatalities every year. as oona mentioned we launched vision zero as a city policy in 2014. we had 31 traffic f

executive power and did obama do as they claim, what other presidents before him have done and prioritized who should be deported and who shouldn't. congress gives money to deport 400 and something thousand illegals. he is deporting that many. >> the republicans believe this is unconstitutional. to hear hillary clinton say she would go further than these executive actions is striking. >> exactly. she would go further, if this is upheld. these great passions on both sides of this illegal immigration issue. this comes down to presidential power. you have a constitution that says congress shall execute the laws excuse me, congress will execute the laws that congress passes. the president kinds of defines this as a prosecuting decision. he made it clear, congress decided not to do anything, i have to do something. it will be interesting to see beyond if it's a tie, 4-4, if it's left in place. it will be interesting to see if the states win against liberal leaning justices on the presidential power. >> charles? >> okay, the policy here is irrelevant. it is about the encroachment of the power of

>> well, if we don't allow puerto rico to restructure its debt and prioritize it, then no one is going to get much money, if anything. as you mentioned, joe, puerto rico's on the verge of not being able to pay its next set of payments, and so and what we're going to have is a rush to court and years of litigation that will provide very little money either for bondholders or pensioners or the very future of the 3 1/2 million united states citizens who live in puerto rico. so, i believe that there are other times in our history in which we have permitted restructuring. those who made investments did so understanding that there's always a possibility for a law to change, and so, therefore, as far as i'm concerned, this is the very essence of a survival for puerto rico, as well as for bondholders being able to get any money, money. >> speaking of those 3 1/2 million residents on the island, senator, the economists have long wanted to extend the earned income tax credit to those residents, a benefit that they do not enjoy on the island, but they would enjoy if they were on the mainland. doe

going back to the earlier discussion and some of the proposals you stated prioritize from mr. haley that reduces overtime - today budget from the savings that is a net cost not an initial cost. >> that's correct. >> so i guess one i know this is important to understand right now we are exceeding the overtime by a lot per year so it is not necessarily budgeted savings but actual savings i believe that the transit finance staff has estimate basically for every dollar we investment in overtime we reduce by $1.15 we'll absolutely see the net savings but other than just budget mask that is actually savings i mean see this is the issue i have with that, if you're showing it to us that is budgeted but the real world we're saving money you're saying and i believe there will be some modest maybe 15 percent savings in terms of overall budget we shifted from people who are basically over burdening the overtime that will be the regular salaries line. >> i'm not looking to make money but it is one thing to say there is a cost associated of several million dollars but a net effect - >> they

. >> it makes us prioritize the streets basically on conditions. so we can actual i address streets that are in the worst condition and plan for those ahead in the schedule. >> the van saves a whole lot of time and man-hours trying to make access to those roads manually. so the van gets out th report back. the district is making progress patching up the roads the old-fashioned way. it's been just a few weeks since the pothole pa loo zoo kicked off and you should notice the ride getting a little smoother. they filled more than 5,000 potholes and the effort will continue until all of the potholes are patched up and you get the nice smooth ride. >> from the roads to the rails, the agency posted this video of a 1,000 series railcar being taken off the tracks and loaded on to a flatbed. the transit agency will eventually get rid of all of the 1,000 series cars sh have been in service since the system opened in the 1970s. they're being replaced with the 7,000 series which is already, of course were debuted on the red and green lines. the old cars being u

>> yes as long as they're not abdicating -- and here we're not challenging the prioritization -- >> ifit seems to me your real gripe here, and maybe it's a real gripe, your real gripe here is to the work authorization piece and to the benefits piece, is that right? >> and the granting of lawful presence because that is what is going -- >> if it is a label general verrilli said they could strike out in a moment. >> that is their position but that's wrong and the reason it's wrong -- >> it is their memorandum. >> it is their memorandum and -- >> statutory term -- there is a term lawful presence appear in statutes enacted by congress. >> it appears in the reentry bar. social security and medicare. appears in the gun possession statute. lawful presence allows aliens to possess guns. that is the ariana case. apparently. daca participants got green cards for citizenship. >> seems to me, general keller, what you should be attacking is not today past what you should be attack something the work authorizations. that the dhs and before that the ina has had for 30 years or you should be attacking

and prioritize for [inaudible] any of you veterans we are prioritizing veterans. off the street, we will be helping them very quickly. we have most of you who might already have a place but maybe you are under some kind of stress, maybe there is eviction going on we can help with that as well because part of our program is also keep people in the places that they have as long as they are doing their part to make sure they can stay as well. we have priorities that we can help and [inaudible] benefits you didn't know about [inaudible] we can do all that. i want to make sure you feel welcome in the city and we will do everything-we hope that you will not have the only choice of staying on the street. we believe staying on the street is dangerous, unhealthy. even if you find a good place you always have to look over your shoulder to see what will happen and don't want that stress on your life even though some may have experienced that, that isn't the end game in the city of san francisco. the end game is we want to help people off the streets and into supportive long

no paid prioritization. no throttling. and required transparency. the core principles of an open internet order. for all those things my colleagues on this side of the aisle are for all those things. the door remains open for democrats to join us in sponsoring that legislation. we look forward to that, hopefully going forward, but we couldn't reach agreement on those very clear positions. my colleague said, gee, they are for not having federal communications commission regulate rates for broadband internet access service. i think that's an accurate description of what you said you were for. let me go to page three of the bill and just simply read section 6 -- from line six, section 2. regulation of broadband rates prohibited. line seven, notwithstanding any other provision of the law, federal communications commission may not regulate the rates charged for broadband internet service -- internet access service. that's what this bill does. now, here's where people may get a little confused. because on the one hand we say no tariffing. that means no se

how can we have omaha be able to benefit from that prioritization flexibility? >> well, i think that that comes back to technical assessment of where the -- in any system, there are places where things are happening at higher levels, more frequency events, and then there are places and systems which do not have that kind of frequency or impact. and i think assessments of the entirety of the solution and then plotting that over time for implementation is the key to ultimately getting to something that's reasonable for any given community. >> thank you. mr. chow, the mayor just spoke about the median household income and in your testimony, you spoke about the impact on epa when the agency looks at the community's affordability to cover the unfunded mandates, and you specifically mentioned that the benchmark that's used there. could you explain why that median household income benchmark is harmful to our low and fixed income families? >> sure. of course, as i mentioned, baltimore, 40% of our population in the cities are below median household income at this level a

he did not prioritize it. >> it was not the substance of it.t was the media. >> always the media. >> always the media spends a tremendous amount of time covering outrageous things that donald trump said. >> that's right. >> you guys put him on end dead. hillary clinton is not getting an hour long of her speech put on the air or bernie sanders or kasich. >> what you are saying that bernie sanders does prioritize. >> he has 100% pro-choice record and he chooses women his entire life. >> do you think it is fair for the democratic to award the domination to a candidate who do not have the most votes during the primary season. >> the most votes? >> right now she has a lot more votes than bernie sanders does. >> a lot of things are going in figuring out who the nominee will be. bring other democrats in. i think the polling shows now that it is clearly bernie sanders. >> all right, jeff weaver, i will leave it there. up next, we'll have reactions on what we just heard from all these guests. and donald trump's bad week. everything that still could shak

we have the ability to prioritize but the states came back and said you might be able to prioritize but. in a usual move the house of representatives have been granted 15 minutes to argue and their lawyers say, look, obama went to congress and he was frustrated by congresss inability to move and what did is try to bypass congress and he capital do that. that's the argument. >> so will the death of scalia affect the outcome? >> well there are two programs. one targets parents of those citizens and residents and another targets noncitizens brought here as children. if the court does go 4-4, then it's left to uphold the lower court decision and that blocked the programs. but this case has an unusual threshold issue here. that is the administration says that the states don't have the standing or the legal right to be in court. and if the court dismisses on standing, that would be the program's would be allowed to go into effect and the supreme court would have ruled on the issue without really getting to immigration itself. >> and when potentially could there be a court ruling? >> well the

it can prioritize who to deport but the states come back and say you can prioritize but what you can't, lawful presence in the united states. that only congress can do. and interestingly tomorrow at oral arguments, the house of representatives was given 15 minutes to argue and they'll argue in favor of the states and say look, obama went to congress for immigration reform and he was frustrated by his inability to persuade them. but he can't come now and try to do what congress's does, which is enforce the law. that's their argument here. >> how will the recent death of scalia affect this? >> when the court is split 4-4, is automatically upholds the lower court's opinion. here the lower court implemented the injunction. if the court is split 4-4, these programs will remain blocked. but there is an interesting issue in this case. a threshold arguments made by the administration that says, look, these states in the first place don't have the legal right to be in court. if the supreme court sides with the administration on this standing issue, then the lower court opinion will be dismissed

the police commissioner reaffirming today that ending the heroin epiotmic is priorit one for his department. the question tonight is, is that tenough? these heroin packets came from a stributor in the bronx, police say, and six men, including a father and two sons then sold up tond 10,000 a week in four south ore communities in nassau county. >> this is a significant drug distribution ring. >> reporter: police say one from his freeport c is a former heroin user and drug dealer. she didn't buy from this man, but her use led to jail time before she fin ly decided to get help. >> they're controlling me, i can't control this. >> reporter: green has been clean for five years, but 45 others in nassau have died of a heroin overdose thi year alone. that's more than a third of all overdose deaths in the county between 2009 and 2013. >> we know that individuals and families a losing loved ones at a rate we've never before seen. >> reporter: drug chancellor steve chassman said dru busts like this one help, but more drug toeatment options are needed to end this epidemic. tatiana green is now working wi
