purdue university research is led by one of our witnesses dr. tom salavage. saw significant injuries to those with high school football ion those not with a particular concussion. even 12 months later suggested lasting damage. many other studies document ad association between sub concussive hits and decrease in brain chemistry, decreased brain functioning and behavioral changes. group of researchers at bosses ton university found exposure to hits regardless whether concussion occurred is associated with higher likelihood of moody's orders like depression. research is repeatedly found evidence of linkage of head impacts and ct-e, a devastating brain disease. cte found in former act lights as young as 25 years old and adults that never played football beyond the high school level. there are number of risk factors that make individuals more susceptible to these debilitating conditions. we also need to understand what happens in the brain when it's hit and how many hits trigger these neurological effects. while there is still research that needs to be done that

the promotion of oxycontin by purdue pharma was the most aggressive marketing of is scheduled to drug ever undertaken a pharmaceutical company. the sackler family which owns stanford connecticut-based purdue pharma achieved a place on forbes 2015 list of america's wealthiest families. the sackler's comp the richest newcomers on the list, are worth an estimated $14 billion. 14 billion. now, when on, so as she explains, the united states has only a 5% in this article, we have 5% of the world's population, but we consume 80% of the world's painkillers. tweet that. 5%, ladies and gentlemen, of the world's population, but 80% of the painkillers we consume. so yes, i believe it was unconscionable that our nation ignored this issue for decades. but now republicans and democrats are starting to work together. and i thank god that this day is finally, and the stars are starting to align for meaningful change. we now have people like orrin hatch, chris christie, rob portman, kelly ayotte and mike pence realizing the gravity of this crisis and supporting more fun to help our cities and states. t

endor endorsements, and he had the former basketball coach of notre dame, digger phelps, and former purdue basketball coach gene keady and bobby knight, the former indiana coach, and lou holtz, the former notre dame football coach, and so trump has what you would call a political sports dream team endorsing him in the state. and earlier today, he was, as we should point out, ted cruz and his running mate carly fiorina, and at one point noting how she fell off of the campaign stage in indiana yesterday, and donald trump saying at a rally earlier that even he would have helped carly fiorina get back up on ta the stage, and ted cruz didn't, and heidi cruz did try to have a l help, and it sews you that the cruz campaign is having a few missteps here in the final hour sh, and donald trump is trying to exploit all of them, and this is feeling very confident. >> and ted cruz had multiple events in indiana as he was trying to stop trump, but in at a restaurant, he encountered some trump psupporters. >> and it is kasich to drop out, and now take your own word, it is time to drop out. >> you will fi

purdue university researchers, led by one of our witnesses today, found significant structural changes to the brains of high school football players, even among those who were not diagnosed with a single concussion. and what is particularly troubling is these changes persisted even 12 month later, suggesting lasting damage. many other studies have documented an association with sub concussive hits and changes in brain chemistry, decreased brain functioning, and behavioral changes. a recent study by a group of researchers at boston university found exposure to hits, regardless of whether a concussion occurred, is associated with a higher likelihood of disorders like depression. the linkage between head impacts and cte, a devastating degenerating brain disease. it affects young athletes as young as 25 years of and adults who never played football beyond the high school level. they remain a number of unanswered questions about what risk factors make individuals more susceptible to these debilitating conditions. we also need to understand what happens with the brain when it's hit and how m

martha: we heard about the purdue poll shows ted cruz up by 15 points.ll every once in a while turns out be something real, if that is the case, what does tomorrow look like to you? >> that is big upset for ted cruz. all the polls show donald trump with double-digit lead. if ted cruz manages narrow victory in indiana tomorrow it upsets the whole rice. if ted cruz pulls off a close win he is still alive and goes on to fight another day in california. martha: if he loses, we heard him there with john roberts moments ago, he said this all along, he believes there will be a contested convention, but in order to make that happen, you've got to have people behind you. you have to have momentum, the will to contest the numbers that donald trump looks likely to have at that point. is that likely to happen? >> becomes increasingly unlikely if he loses in indiana. if he loses in indiana means he choked. he was within striking distance few weeks ago. seven different polls showed him two and nine points behind. so he was within possibility of taking over, winning in

he is the director of the institute at indiana university, purdue university in indianapolis. he's the new chair of the multihazard mitigation council of building sciences. i look forward to my colleagues learning about the work being done in the great hoosier state, particularly in indianapolis to address rising disaster costs and losses and the report from the multihazard counsel. his leadership and local work are terrific examples of what indianapolis is doing in the field of university management. i yield back. >> thank you, ranking member carson. we will have two panels. the first is carlos curbelo from florida. someone from south florida, he knows all too well the risks posed by natural hazards, the rising costs of disasters and the efforts proven successful in florida to incentivize. congressman curbelo has been a leader in this area and a advocate for constituents in florida. the second panel joined by joseph. the debty administrate eor of f working on ways to reduce the cost of disasters and build resilience. sally clark, commissioner of el paso county, colorado, she

i was speaking at a college in indiana, purdue university, and several high school students who write for their high school newspapers drove several hours to hear me speak. i talked about the state of civil liberties in the united states and the way these russians had taken place. they interviewed me after for their high school newspaper. one of the things they said, they said a lot more interesting things than i did because it really has an impact. one thing they put it out as they said, look, you keep talking about all these changes to the civil liberties landscape and the way in which we have freedoms in this country, but one of the things you keep talking about is you make it seem like there are these great changes, there was the world pre-9/11 and now post-9/11. they told me for people who are our age, 15, 16 years old, we were four years old at the time of 9/11. really, there is no pre-9/11 world we know. our political consciousness has been shaped almost exclusively by the post-9/11 world. as is all we know. what we consider extremist and radical and threatening is for them inc

gene keady of purdue, notre dame, and bobby knight.hose three sports legends have served him better than the government has. john: you mentioned endorsements, and i know the campaign has spent some time trying to line up big endorsements for after tuesday. wednesday i think will be a very big day in trump world. do you have a sense of how they are orchestrating that day and the rest of this week on the premise they will win tuesday night? what did they think the rest of that week will be for them, to send the signal loud and clear, as strong as possible, that the race is over and it's time to rally around donald trump? >> i think you have better information than i do. i don't know who they will be come wednesday, but i know that they have often pounded a big announcement and to come out with it later in the day so the news cycle, so they can dominate the news cycle, and then dominate the next day's news cycle. but in terms of who those endorsements will be, i think you have maybe a slightly better inside track than i do. john: i think

also, nothing in yet in indiana here, tip pa canoe county, the home of purdue university, boilermakers that could be a big county for bernie sanders. on the flip side, the good news for hillary clinton, we talked about this earlier, you look up aer, lake county, this is where gary is, it looks like the early vote coming in, hillary clinton having a decisive lead there. there's a lot of votes still to come in here right now. the actual same-day vote, if that favors hillary clinton, she could get a lot out of there. of course in the heart of the state as well as indianapolis we should tell you about one-quarter of the vote is in from indianapolis right now. it is dead even right there. >> steve do we know if the turnout overall looks big on the democratic side? >> i can't compare to '08. >> it's hard to know until everything's in, i know. >> if we dwell on indianapolis it is because just under half of all the voters who will vote today are in the adi, the area of dominant influence, around indianapolis. >> look at you with the obscure acronym. i don't even know what to say. adi. >> we'll

then there was another poll that came out from the university of indiana and purdue out of its institute for politics. and it has it reversed. ted cruz is the leader in the 40s. donald trump in the 30s and then kasich again far off the pace. an average of the last seven polls here in indiana, only one is cruz actually leading. and yet he is absolutely defiant suggesting that even if he doesn't win, he'll go forward which is telling. he's now focusing on california for a justification to go on to the convention. and that there's just too much hype either way you look at it, it's going to be close. here's an example of how he's trying to fight back against what he says is the conventional wisdom against him. >> the mainstream media wants this race to be over. the new york power brokers want this race to be over. the wash waub lington lobbyists this race to be over. john boehner wants this race to be over. they've all made their decision. and how it affects the people of indiana. >> reporter: cruz has been advertising aggressively, focusing on evansville, terre haute, south bend. here in in

we had a great coach from purdue. we had a lot of people that really supported.bby knight, who won 900 games, three championships, he had the last undefeated team in college championships, almost two undefeated teams, but he was a great coach. is a great coach. he looks better than ever. but he came out for trump, and i want to tell you that state went , crazy. that was good. if ever there was an endorsement that was good, we won indiana in a landslide. everyone gave up, and now we are going through, and we are doing great. we are like 50 short, and we will do great, and we will have an amazing convention. we are going to take care of trade. we are going to make great trade deals. we are going to stop with this nonsense. we are going to make great trade deals, you know, with china. we have a trade deficit with china of $505 billion a year. think of it. how stupid can we be? [booing] obama does nothing about it, hillary knows nothing about it, she has absolutely no idea. as she has taken care of it -- she is taken care of by the people putting up her money. even i

today right now, there's a rally going on in caramel, indiana, where jean katie from purdue universityendorsing mr. trump. so, you know, that's just an example of unifying and i'll give you another scoop. legenda legendary football coach from notre dame has endorsed donald trump. i guess i'll sum it up. there's division but it's being caused by ted cruz and john kasich staying in the race. >> okay. >> and those guys need to move along and can unify the party. donald trump after indiana is going to be 3 million votes up and about 500 delegates up and we just need to move on. >> michael, let me just sd you. you used to speak to speaker boehner. you likened him to looucifer in the flesh. >> had he more to do with the government shutdown in 2013 so i wouldn't read it as to the current situation. >> lastly, hillary clinton beat bernie sanders in fundraising in april for the first time in 2015. do you think that's significant? >> yes. i think the fact that he's laying off staff is significant. he still has a lot of strength. frankly, what he's done online raising money is something that peop

one is purdue pharma the manufacturer of oxycontin manufactured a lot more pills than necessary to treatancer pain, and these powerful medications were really designed to treat the kind of pain that comes from cancer and the like. so once they were out, then kind of physicians got into the practice of writing them, because they were under the gun so to speak with the patient satisfaction. so, the reimbursement for the hospitals will actually suffer if the patients fill out a satisfaction that says, oh, we were not happy with how i was treated especially for the pain management. so doctors don't want to get, you know, that knock against their hospital, so they will give a pill even if they know that the patient is drug seeking, and then it comes to the fact that there is really not good as you have heard earlier from michael boticelli that physicians don't get very good medical education in terms of addiction or mental illness. in fact, most of the primary docs and this in fact, most all of the docs treat a better part of the patient population has cooccurring addiction, >> and so why the

mickey is director of the polis institute at indiana university, purdue university in indianapolis. he's also the new chair of the multihazard mitigation council at the national institute of building sciences. i look forward to my colleagues learning about the work being done in the great these your state, particular -- hoosier state to address rising disaster costs and losses, plus the latest report from the multihazard mitigation council. mr. mickey's national leadership and local work are terrific examples of what indianapolis is doing in the field of emergency management. i yield back, mr. chairman. >> thank you, ranking member, carson. we will have two panels of witnesses today. on our first panel, we have our fellow subcommittee member, representative cur bello who knows all too well the risks posed by natural disasters and the efforts that have proven successful in florida to incentivize mitigation measures and smart behaviors. congressman curbelo has been a leader in this area and a great advocate for his constituents in south florida. in our second panel, we'll be joined by

there is one poll out today that shows that in this poll by indiana university and purdue university, the institute for politics, that in fact cruz is ahead in the 40s, and it's trump who's in the 30ss and as was the case in other polls, kasich in single and/or double digit numbers. and kasich isn't competing in indiana as part of this so-called alliance that has cruz not competing in new mexico and oregon, so they can maximize their abilities to block trump from 1,237. with that said, the cruz campaign also recognizes that trump has some big advantages here. the state is winner take all, but it's split. 30 delegates go to the state winner, winner take all, who wins statewide. but the remaining 27 delegates, 57 in all, are divvied up amongst the congressional districts. and if you win in those districts you can pick up delegates and that is an opportunity for ted cruz. only one poll shows cruz ahead in seven recently, and the average of trump's lead is about four and a half points. it's going to be tough. echoing heidi cruz, who suggested that cruz can unite the party because he's an

if i were measuring indiana and i were at purdue talking to students and republicans and local leaders, i would say that basketball probably beats politicians in indiana. if i had to choose between a legendary coach and a very good governor, probably the legendary coach has more impact on the voters of indiana. i think in the end what it comes down to in the age of television is the candidates. trump has the ability to reach through the medium whether on youtube, facebook or on radio and tv his personality is moving the system in ways none of us -- including me -- could have predicted three or four months ago. they are tied at 38-38. the fact is hillary will be the most unpopular democrat ever nominated. trump will be the most unpopular republican ever nominated. you have the high negatives on both sides. there is a huge difference. i would say this about everybody who watched the race. you go back the sunday before the pennsylvania primary. nobody would have said he'd carry every county and five states. he's doing something remarkable. republican turn out is up 60%. democratic turn ou

not we nasa commercial entities have full capability to do that today and that is where we are at purdue ask for bids and ideas. >> with that inflatable habitat because for the first time to escape the tyranny of the launch vehicle right now everything in space has to fit inside a launch vehicle but if it is inflatable the trouble lot of volume for your service area. >> talk about launch and habitat but one of the biggest things that is happening now is it is the a revolution of satellite bin now it is satellites the size of a shoebox so tell us about that. >> we're actually printing and tires subsystems typically satellites have used toxic propellants now they are greece propellants so people can be around and like those that we have to fly today so it is revolutionary. the smaller the mass the smaller the launch vehicle to drive down the cost so then you get into the cycle where it is necessary to have commercialization and so it is an interesting time. industry does build a lot for nasa but that is a very different type of model and now they are richer enough to be purchased as servic

we had a great coach from purdue, a lot of people that supported. but when bobby knight won 900 games, 3 championships he had the last undefeated team in college basketball, which is a hell of a statement and almost had two undefeated teams here, had one the year before which lost one game, he is a great coach, looks better than ever. he came out for trump and that state went crazy. lou: then they did go crazy for trump and he did win, and the rest as they say is history, and what a sparkling history it has been for the trump campaign, going back to their opening bid june 16th of last year, been quite a run for the trump campaign. mr. trump. >>> if we can, he said something interesting about -- he's been criticized earlier today, he said right away it looked like terrorism to him, flight 804 for the downed egyptair flight. here's what he said at the armory there in lawrenceville, new jersey. >> and if anybody thinks it wasn't blown out of the sky, you're 100% wrong, okay? 100% wrong. and it's getting worse. i was watching one of the networks they ha

basketball coach here, and one after another rapid fire, today, gene keady who was the basketball coach at purdue, and digger phelps the basketball coach at notre dame, and lou holtz who is a legendary coach here, and when you add it up, the governors and the senators rim porpt when they endorse your campaign, but this is basically an indiana sports all-star team that donald trump had backing him to dday. >> indeed. and sum lynn, to you, now, and the polls are in donald trump's favor, but ted cruz is putting it all on the line, and pleading with the indiana voters and making a deal with john kasich and naming a running mate, and any indication that the efforts are paying off? >> no, you famed the tripolicat of hail mary passes, and it has not moved the needle. the polls show it well behind donald trump, andle is of the feeling on the cruz campaign, they have to hype the stakes for what tomorrow could bring for them to get people out to the polls, but if you look at some of the recent polls over to the weekend, there was a stat that jumped out at me and it was an nbc/"wall street journal" poll, 34

another poll out today, indiana university and purdue university, institute for politics, that cruz is up double digits in the 40s and trump is in the 30s and kasich is down in the teens. the cruz campaign remains pretty bullish on their chances here. you can look at the places he's campaigning. terre haute right now, evansville, south bend. other communities outside indianapolis, more rural areas where the conservativism is more ardant than those flocking to trump. cruz is trying to put forward a brave face even though the average of the polls shows he's down six or seven points. here's a little of the texas senator this morning trying to put as positive a look on this as he can, knowing if he doesn't stop trump in indiana, it will be very hard to stop him from winning the nomination before the actual convention. watch. >> it's going to be a battle to see who can earn a majority of the delegates elected by the people at the convention. and the reason donald is so frantic to say the race is over and trying to get all his media accolites to say the race is over, because donald knows he

purdue university.com is not just myself. for example, just last week we had george will ask the presenter of the five minute videos that we did. it is meant to change minds. we have 70 million views last year. we are making an impact because i'm worried, i am worried, and to leeward about america. it was founded on certain principles which are being denied. liberty and small government and a guy based populist, not a god this government but a guy based populist. that was what the founders wanted. if people feel responsible morally to a god, they will generally act better. do you know that secular professors did a fascinating study and found where people believe in hell, it was more ethical behavior there were people do not believe in a hell? which makes perfect sense. if you believe you will be caught speeding, you don't speaker if you don't think you'll ever be punished for speeding, then you will speed. why do we deny basic, simple facts of life? because we want to deny them. as one of the earlier callers said, i don't wan

and we had lou holtz and the great coach from purdue. we had a lot of people. digger phelps.ll you. bobby went -- and he called me like a year ago. and bobby is -- when 900 games, won three championships, won the olympics, won the pan am games. and about a year ago, before i was going to run -- i've been doing this nine and a half, ten months. i get a call from bobby knight, who i never met, but i know bobby knight. he's tough, he's smart and he knows how to win. that's a good combination, right? by the way, that's what the country needs. and he calls me up. and i recognize his voice immediately. he goes, "mr. trump, this is bobby knight. i hope you run." i said, "bobby, run for what?" because i'm telling you, i was three or four months away. he said, "i hope you run, mr. trump. you run for president, you are going to make this country great again. i've been following." and you what, he is -- he's an expert on talent! he's talent. and he said, "i just hope you run." i said "well, you know, bobby, i haven't made up my mind yet. but i would love your number. and let me call you

i'm at purdue university northwest. the largest part from our campus in indiana, and i've been taking my students from my post 1877 u.s. history class for 16 years. i was very pleased when last year it was made a national park. when it's at my students there last saturday, there was still no federal presence. there was not a single park ranger. you were saying a little earlier, does that have to mean we will wait for a while to get any money from the national park system? my second question is i have been an academic advisor. when i had students who wanted to become history majors and said i don't want to teach, what other jobs within the? i always said presumably you might be attracted to the national park system, to be a ranger at a battlefield park. in fact, can you tell us whether or not the national park system does higher history majors to be park rangers? mr. stanton: you reference the new national monument in chicago, proclaimed by president obama. i think there are two responses. one is, obviously, for the new
