sen.cconnell: she was warned. she was given an explanation. nevertheless, she persisted. >> warren was reading a 1986 letter from the widow of martin luther king jr. that criticized sessions. once silenced, she kept right on reading outside the senate chamber. >> mr. sessions sought to punish older black civil rights activists. >> do you think there was some sexism? >> there is a problem with having jeff sessions as attorney general of the united states. all i can say, the next day, four men stood up and read the same letter and they all got to finish. charlie: "this fight is our fight, the battle to save america's middle class." i am pleased to have senator elizabeth warren at this table. is this book -- we see these come out within three or four years before a presidential election. president obama did it. secretary of state clinton did it. is this a kind of campaign, this is what elizabeth warren believes? sen. warren: it is about what elizabeth warren believes, but it is not a campaign

sen.arren: no, it was about letting those at the top keep more of their money. that is what tax breaks were sold on. and it would trickle down to everyone else. yeah, let them eat more take and there will be more crumbs for everyone else. 2016, gdp is still going -- what proportion did they get of all that income growth? the answer is zero, none. nearly 100% of the income growth 2016 goes to the top 10% income earners. i mean all of the new income that we create, all of the new stuff coming in. since 1980, the new growth in has gone to the top 10%. charlie: the top 10 present don't make most of their money from income growth, not from wages or salary. sen. warren: they do both. that is the point. it all moves to the top. the black-white wealth cap tripled during that time period. in other words, what is happened in these two time periods, is government once worked, made its central middle of the target, how do we make america work better for the middle class? now they have switched it. fro

sen. mitchell: dole: i do not see any problem with anybody having coverage. i have said that it's recently as yesterday in new hampshire. but i think many of us shift. i was for the individual mandate. so were other senators. i think we had four or five votes for individual man tates on the finance committee. you come back and say, we can't do that my view is, i don't object to everybody having coverage, it's what is it going to cost, how are you going to get there? >> you say the american people aren't buying it. opinion polls say 70% to 0% of the american people did want universal coverage. sen. dole: but when you ask the other question, how much are you willing to pay? my own view is we never had in a lot of the press the substance. it was always process. is there going to be a filibuster? are the band-aids going to pass? those are the only two things i remember that have been -- some did a lot of in depth stories but a lot of it has been process. i think the american people are more co

sen. mitchell: at the beginning of this congress, i said the passage of comprehensive health care reform would be a high priority. i repeated that goal at the beginning of this year and sai d i would give it my close attention in all of my energy. two years ago, americans faced a judgment at the polls that the nation's problems had been subordinated for too long to problems abroad. working middle income families from a corporate downsizing, defense industry conversion, violent crime, college costs, and inflated health insurance costs all made americans ask us here in washington to focus on america needs. president clinton and the democratic congress responded with a budget that cuts the deficit and has contributed to the creation of more than 4 million new jobs in the last two years. and with legislation to reduce crime, improve college loans, broaden trade, speed up the introduction of new technologies, and the economic prosperity they promise. we also made a strong effort to reform the e

sen. mitchell: i believe it is inevitable that comprehensive health care reform will be enacted. you will recall that it took 10 years or more to pass medicare. and there was great deal of opposition to it. it was not until after the decisive election of 1964 that it finally was enacted. and i believe that the same thing will happen inevitably on health care reform. i do not know and cannot say whether it will be next year or the year after. obviously, many factors will contribute to that, but i believe, given the situation with respect to health insurance and health financing, especially that action is inevitable. >> your democratic colleagues and democratic candidates for office to use this to blame, to use this in the election six weeks from now? sen. mitchell: i have not discussed this in that context. that will be a matter for each candidate to judge on his or her own. >> i'm sorry. >> the senators you mentioned and praise to are talking about next year, you will not the among the. an

sen. coons: it is important for both china and north korea, south korea to realize that the anded states has resources will make absolutely every effort to reach an appropriate diplomatic resolution to the problem but we also stand ready to defend. korea leadership of north , it is more and more aggressive >> is a direct threat to the u.s. mainland? sen. coons: if kim jong un on will have capabilities against the mainland and at some point, that will be a very pressing national security concern. it is constructing for us to conversationan with a team of the administration to make sure we're all with the same direction and wonders that the strategy and are able to defend it. >> what sense do you have about the use of the military in terms of the administration? we were not presented with any specific military options and i will not talk about them if we were. >> were you presented with anything that [indiscernible] sen. coons: china is north korea's biggest supporter, closest major ally and

sen. paul: know, the whole point is it is a day late and a dollar short. patting us on the back and saying good boy, here is some information now, i'm going to go a hearing and that's what it will be. we are not asking you for permission. we are giving you a little bit f information. >> thank you very much, senator. really appreciate it. indiscernible] en. graham: yes. i want to applaud the president for taking action. it was justified, necessary, and hope it sends the right message not only to assad, but o people throughout the world. assad'sis to neutralize airpower. his ability to kill people through conventional weapons has to be taken off the table in terms of air power. the next step to me would be, if assad goes back into the air and drops bombs and kills babies in another way, i hope we would hit him again. my goal and senator mccain's goal is to ground the syrian air force and basically take rocca in a fashion that will hold it, not relying on kurds. the bottom line is to get assa

sen. collins: thank you very much, and for saying some things that elicit some applause for that does not happen often in hearings. i want to thank you for calling this hearing and your dedication on this issue. it is a topic that touches everyone in this room one way or another, some more directly obviously when it is a family member, but whether it is a parent or grandparent, sibling, , youd, or even a neighbor know what this fight is all about. our witnesses today come to us in that fight as well from all across the country. and i know that a little bit later i will have the opportunity to introduce phyllis gallagher from pennsylvania, not far from my hometown of scranton, and we appreciate her being here today. phyllis cared for her husband john who began showing signs of early onset alzheimer's at 49, and we are grateful she is willing to do that today to provide the testimony. it is also an honor to have maria shriver with us here today. and to help raise awareness situations familie

sen. collins: thank you. [ applause ] sen. collins: he he sen. collins: now, we are going to move to our second panel of witnesses. and we thank you again so much for appearing today. [ applause ] sen. collins: our first witness on the second panel is dr. christine yaffe. she is vice chair of research in psychiatry at the university of california, san francisco school of medicine. she serves as the professor of psychiatry, urology, epidemiology, and biostatistics. in other words, she knows everything. she is also chief of neuropsychiatry at the san francisco be a medical center. in 2014, she was recognized as one of thomas routers worlds most influential scientific mind. next, i am going to turn to my colleague, senator donnelly to introduce dr. christopher callahan. sen. donnelly: thank you. it is my pleasure to introduce a fellow hoosier, dr. chris callahan from indiana university. dr. callahan is the founding director of the iu center for aging research and has over 25 years of experience studying new models of care for adults. he is also a pr

sen. murphy: absolutely. i try to make that point in the speech. i really do believe in peace and through strength. there are a lot of bad things that haven't happened in this world because people know that if they cross certain lines, the military will be there as a backstop. i do support increased military spending. i don't support it at the expense of the state department or domestic accounts. i'm just laying out a aggressive proposal and i think we should be talking about commensurate increases in state department funding with military increases. >> he proposes $54 million. if you were in charge of the world, what would you recommend? sen. murphy: i think i can easily find, and i have recommended over five years increasing the numbers as they play out different ways parsed , different ways. 50 billion in increased foreign affairs spending over five years. i can argue for $50 billion this year, split evenly between military and nonmilitary accounts. i think we can put that to good use f

sen. cardin: it was passed globally, and my colleague, senator mccain, the two of us have championed legislation on capitol hill. it was not easy. our friends in the state department do not like congress getting involved. there is an almost universal view, whether it is a democratic or republican administration, they would prefer congress go away and not deal with us. this law was congress saying look we're going to put a spotlight on corruption first in russia because of the tragedy --olving surveyed and 50 -- we said basically if you are involved in gross violations of human rights, corruption, etc., and your country does not take action against you, and that is what happened with that tragedy, we will not give you the benefit of america. we will not allow you to visit our country or hide your assets in our economy. that was passed. it was passed not just in the united states. it has been passed in european countries. it is gotten a good deal of international attention and now we have mo

sen.urphy of a positive development. sen. murphy: yeah, absolutely. this is a very different administration when it comes to the way that they talk about russia, and i think that is a positive development. we have legislation ready to go in congress, if they could work with us. again, this is all dizzying to our allies and adversaries. the fact that we still don't have a syria policy. we had two different ones yesterday on the tv talk shows. >> nothing wrong with tv talk shows. sen. murphy: especially when they make news like they did yesterday. no, but i think it's good to we change, but i'm not excited for an administration that seems to have this kind of rapid transformation in their policy and rhetoric, that is not great news for global stability. >> right here, ma'am. the microphones right there. >> senator, thank you for coming today. francis cooke. i think all we can set your funding comments is hallelujah, i hope it comes with slots. watching congress in this town has not been edif

sen. johnson: thank you. i just wanted to correct that the improper payments were $100 million. with obamacare, the houseplant, we are looking at more refundable tax credits. our next witness is miss rebecca blank. she became the chairman of the of thechancellor university of wisconsin. blank: thank you. i appreciate having the chance to say a few words. i was an economist prior to wisconsinhancellor of university in madison. can toto do everything i help these institutions. they have also become some of the most regulated agencies. there are multiple interpretations of the rules and many confusing and duplicative requests. my message today is clear, we have added layer upon layer of regulation and are at a point our this is impeding abilities. steps requires time from the researchers or support staff for research grants. we had 50 full-time staff forling the compliance research studies. today we have 80. we have been working to increase efficiency and reduce staff. still, much of the burd

sen. cardin: i smile little bit because i've been in other countries, companies where they tell me that there is a quota for u.s. government because they cannot be involved in corruption. question we have made strides in fighting corruption. the challenges are terrible. today, we are facing a global community where there is a question as how important corruption really is. the number one example is russia. lubricant thathe allows mr. putin to do what he is doing. he is a master at deception. so, he creates problems around the world so his population has this nationalist view about putin's leadership that allows him to stay in power. legitimate, the progress we are making in fighting corruption is compromised. so, yes, u.s. leadership has made a difference. but we still have a long way to go. we have lost momentum. russia is moving their foot print -- their footprint will be on europe. we saw their attack here in the night is ace. we saw what they are doing in the middle east. -- we saw the

sen.arner: today's testimony focused on the foundation. what did the russians do, why did they do it? this is part of russian doctrine that goes back to the soviet era of spreading misinformation. they have now taken it to a much more modern space in terms of using cyber techniques. so it was revalidated one more time. i think everyone but perhaps the president would accept the russians were behind the d.n.c. hack, the hack of the john podesta emails. they were behind the use of distributing fake news. the way they do this is they have close to 1000 paid internet trolls in moscow that create bots that can flood search engines like twitter and facebook and others with false news. real fake news, not the kind of president has sometimes referred to. there was complete consensus from the technical experts and the more historical and policy experts that russia was behind was behindat russia tos and they were trying create chaos and want to try to split countries apart and drive as big of social

sen.ullivan: good morning, everybody. i want to begin by once again thanking csis. tom, i want to thank you. great work you are doing, great report. , your team is world-class. i have gotten to know so many over the years. one of the things you are good -- isi will admit it making policymakers like myself get a little smarter on the issues, certainly with regard to missile-defense, that is what i have been trying to do since i came to the senate, given how important it is for our country. so thank you, and thank all of you contribute. it is an honor to speak on some of these issues. if you turn on the tv, you might see there is a little bit going on in the world right now, and a little going on in the senate, too. we have got info coming up in a couple hours that is pretty important with regard to the supreme court. the president is in florida meeting with xi jinping. we had the issues last night with regard to syria, so a lot going on, and a lot going on in this area, too. what is what --

sen. burr: i think we will and i hope the committee sees it in their actions to make sure that you are at the helm of the department of education. as a look across america and the world, icna were technology is going to impact things that we did not even dream about five years ago. our we have seen happen to health care in manufacturing. i remember my father at 90 years old looking at me about five years ago and saying i do not understand how a fax machine works. i never was able to explain it to him, but that did not limit my use of it or my belief that it served an important purpose. education will change drastically. what is most foreign is to have someone passionate at the top, concerned about every child in every child's opportunity. i am grateful you are here. i think the nation deserves the secretary who the champion of public education. >> and a 2015 speech you were pretty blunt saying government really sucks. you call the public school system a dead-end. in order to clarify, you n

sen. graham: i'm going to ask the people who did the collection: did susan rice ever request of you or your organization the unmasking of somebody caught up in incidental collection, particularly a trump person? if she did, then i want her to come in and say why she requested that and what she did with it. sharyl: nine out of ten times, the i.r.s. seized money that americans had obtained legally. robert johnson: the i.r.s. was basically trolling through people's bank statements rather than going to that person and saying, "hey, you know what's going on here, is there some sort of explanation?" instead, they would just seize the entire bank account and then they would hold it. sharyl: welcome to "full measure." i'm sharyl attkisson. next week, french voters go to the polls in the first round of a presidential election. one candidate, marine le pen, is drawing much of the attention and concern. she's campaigning in a style, and on the issues, that brought president trump to the white house.

sen. peters. sen. peters: thank you. i will think -- join my colleagues in thanking you for your service. you have spent your entire life keeping us safe. you have done that with honor and integrity. thank you on behalf of a grateful nation. many of my colleagues have quoted from your book that you edited. i will follow suit. i want to elaborate on a passage that i think is worthwhile for us to know about. how you will approach this job as a strategic thinker, providing advice to the president as well as congress. i will ask you to comment on this. the american public holds its military in such high regard. we have allowed our thinking to atrophy, allowing policymaking to become flabby. this is both a political failure and a moral one. if you could elaborate on moral failures and how those involved in policymaking have become flabby. gen. mattis: it was certainly not meant in any personal sense. sen. peters: i understand that. although, i do have to have my fitbit. that is true. gen. mattis: senator, it goes back to my b

>> [laughter] [applause] sen.nd this visitor center will be so important for telling that story. it will bring a lot of people here. it will help the economy. i know the local officials will particularly appreciate the fact we are going to be really helping the economy, dorchester county, thank you for your help. mayor jackson stanley, thank you for everything you have done for cambridge. >> [applause] sen. cardin: governor hogan is right, we really do thank the harriet tubman family, the ross family. you have been persistent in making this a reality. >> [applause] sen. cardin: i just want to spend a moment and thank our federal delegation, my partners in washington. it started with paul sarbanes, who led the campaign for the designation of the harriet tubman underground railroad national historic park. we started that many years ago. when i was elected to the senate, i took on the charge and filed the legislation with my colleagues from new york. senator mikulski was incredible help of getting it done. she sends

sen.s: i do not buy it. he has been criticizing people so much, democrats, the media, the judiciary. when you criticize people you tend not to get much accomplished. the us to swallow some of his pride and ego, worked to get legislation passed for the good of the people. is not about winning points for one party or the other, but to help the people we are serving. if he can show he cares about and say wen people, out, getork this something we can both live with, then we can make headway. yvonne: senator, what kind of boost could this type of boost have on the out, get something we can economy? could generate the amount of growth the white house is saying, that it could pay for itself? sen. baucus: it is a very big question. reform,really not tax it is a tax cut, basically a proposal. a my judgment, just to make big splash. a lot of ceos are buying into it, to help their stock and so forth. presented, because there is virtually no way to pay for it, it raises a lot of questions, there is no

sen. sullivan: you have emphasized, i think rightfully so, our allies as a key strategic element of u.s. national security. what role should they be playing? gen. mattis: my view is that you always want more allies with you than fewer. i have never gone into any fight with an all-american formation. i have always fought alongside allies. also, i believe that allies can contribute greatly to deterrence, and modifying the misbehavior of those who would disrupt the global order. sen. sullivan: it's been said , by a number of us, that the u.s. has lost credibility internationally where our adversaries no longer fear us and our allies no longer trust us. perhaps the most glaring example of that is iranian actions in the persian gulf, harassing u.s. naval ships, taking sailors hostage. i want to finish with one question. how do we regain our credibility internationally? you are a historian. do you believe that the new administration will have its credibility challenged early in its tenure? gen.

sen.l this way with the supreme court selection, with the process being unsettled in a way to me because i hated them to pull the trigger to require 51 votes and not have a filibuster. that was a significant thing. the senate handled it pretty well. david: senator daschle, what is your if? how are they doing? sen. daschle: i think joshua is right in terms of the executive actions he has taken. he has been aggressive. residents, when make -- presidents, when they cannot get their way capitol hill, they do so unilaterally. president obama was criticized, but i am not surprised that president trump will do that as well. there is a law's physics that will always be there in washington. the only permanent legislation is bipartisan legislation. we saw that with the aca. now the republicans are making the same mistake the democrats did in not bringing about the kind of bipartisan consensus on health care that is really possible. there is a pathway to bipartisanship. that is true on taxes, on infr

sen. peters: i understand that. although, i do have to have my fitbit. that is true. gen. mattis: senator, it goes back to my belief that america has two fundamental powers. the power of intimidation. america will defend ourselves and the idea that we call america. that is all it is. an experiment in democracy. the other power that i think we have used less in recent years, the last 20 years, maybe, is the power of inspiration. i think the power of inspiration of america, at times, has to be employed just as strongly. because the u.s. military is devoted to being the top in the game where the competition means second place is last place. we should not be simply turning to the military because it is a capable military that is well led. it is now a national treasure. i will be the first to admit that. it does that mean that we should turn to the military to answer all of our concerns in the relations with the world. that is the source where i was coming from in that statement. sen. peters: i

sen.hune: i think they went big and they went bold and i will give the president credit for playing out a very ambitious tax reform proposal. you are right. ultimately congress will have to be heard on this and we have our own idea of what this might be like. the key ideas we need to get rates down. we've got to allow companies to recover their costs more quickly and we have to get growth in the economy. if we can get growth above 3%, it means better paying jobs at a higher standard of living. in terms of the president's economic agenda. it's going to a president who is very engaged to make tax reform a reality. it's a very heavy lift. listen to various officials from the white house, it seems they draw the balance between growth on the one hand .nd deficit on the other saving money and not going too far in the hole. they are more concerned about growth than running up a deficit. is that a shared logic with your colleagues on the hill? sen. thune: there are in the in thecan conference, sen

sen. har thank you. i want to thank the chairman and vice chairman for this open hearing. as this committee conducts its investigation into the russia's interference with our 2016 united states election, the american people need to fully understand the threat that we face and what we must do to protect ourselves in the future. and let's all be clear about what happened. we know as has already been determined by the cia, fbi and the nsa, a foreign country, russia, attacked the heart of our democracy. an american election for the president of the united states. and they can and will do so again if we do not act urgently. we must get to the bottom of this. we must be thorough, we must proceed with urgency and we must be transparent. that is vital to protect the public's trust in us and it's what the american people deserve. and i know we can do so while protecting classified sources and material. items that must remain classified in order to protect our national security, the sources of our i
