udall: thank you very much. i could not think of a better person to be secretary of agriculture because you served as governor from a rural state. you know the communities and how they are struggling, and i appreciate this effort in terms of the strikeforce. i look forward to working with you. thank you very much. i yield back, mr. chair. chairman: you had no time to yield back, but thank you for the effort. senator from north dakota? >> thank you, mr. chairman. good to see you, mr. secretary. on behalf of our farmers and ranchers, we want to make this bill as farm friendly as possible. that is particularly important right now with commodity prices. we are seeing real stress out there on the part of farmers and ranchers with these commodity crises. one area that we can help in terms of making sure that the farm bill is farmer friendly is with the national statistics service data. i think that you are already working on this with your fsa director. but in some cases that nas data, because there are not enough sur

m manchester said to the other guy what do you think about moe udall for president? he said "i don't know i only met him twice."ause it's true. people in wisconsin are new hampshire, the conventional t you had to really let them get to know you. that's beauty of new hampshire. you can't buy new hampshire. well, trump's winning by in new hampshire. >> seth: are there too many -- >> by the way, moe udall, nobody ever remembers him, i loved him. a barbershop in manchester, new hampshire and said hi, "i'm morris udall from arizona and i'm running for ted states, and the barber said yeah we were just laughing about that this morning." [ laughter ]. good people. that's my hometown right there you're talking about. so i know very well. is its totally unpredictable. anybody that says he can shoot somebody and still get elected, that's beyond any frame work of r seen. >> seth: well the crazy thing is that somebody can say that, it's the fact that it's not making in the poll numbers. >> right. you can say anything but it doesn't seem no matter what he says. for it. there were,

he walked into a barbershop in manchester, new hampshire and said hi, "i'm morris udall from arizona and i'm running for president of the united states, and the barber said yeah we were just laughing about that this morning." [ laughter ] >> seth: good people. good people. that's my hometown right there you're talking about. so i know very well. >> so all i'm saying is its totally unpredictable. anybody that says he can shoot somebody and still get elected, that's beyond any frame work of politics that i've ever seen. >> seth: well the crazy thing is that somebody can say that, it's the fact that it's not making any difference in the poll numbers. >> right. doesn't seem no matter what he says. build a wall, make mexicans pay for it. >> seth: there were, i feel like 20, 20 flubs back he said about you, he disparaged you as a p.o.w. >> mm-hmm. >> seth: everyone said this is the end of the trump express, and it wasn't even close. when someone like your old running mate like sarah palin supports trump what is your view on something like that? >> i respect sarah's view and obviously it ga

udall: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new mexico. mr. udall: thank you, mr. president, for the recognition. i semiconductor that privileges of the floor be grant -- i ask unanimous consent that privileges of the floor be granted to a member of my staff, lauren odius. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. udall: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i rise today to talk about our drug crisis, the prescription drug crisis. every day someone in our nation dies -- a son, a daughter, a parent -- from a drug overdose. most are from prescription drugs, from opioid painkillers, drugs intended to bring comfort and too often bring tragedy. oxycodone, hydrocodone, oxycontin -- we have an epidemic of these prescription drugs and the abuse of them. drugs that wreck lives, wreck families, wreck entire communities. in my home state of new mexico, we know this all too well. we have the second-highest rate of drug overdose deaths. we are in a crisis, and it's getting worse. more new mexicans are dying from drug overdoses than ever before. it touches home, and it hi

udall: thank you, madam president. madam president, i would ask to speak in morning business for as much time as i may consume. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. udall: thank you, madam president. madam president, i rise today to remember a great new mexican, a great american, dr. miguel encinas who passed away on saturday, february 20, at the age of 92. new mexico has a long and proud tradition of military service. dr. encinas is often called new mexico's most decorated veteran. he fought in three wars, was the recipient of three distinguished flying crosses, 14 air medals and two purple hearts. his military career is one of courage and sacrifice, and he later played an important role in the creation of the world war ii memorial here in washington, d.c. if the measure of a life is living the utmost to one's talents and living up to one's talents and giving the utmost of oneself, miguel encinas is an inspiration to all of us, and that's why i think he will long be remembered with such admiration and gratitu

udall said if yo you o write in public whether it happened or not having finished his investigation and the penalty for being wrong was death. he would write in his envelope that it happened. other politicians have been slow to say. richard helm said we did the job and avoided clinical risk. god knows what richard helms meant in his biography. zbigniew brzezinski said something to transpire. it's controversial. what you want me to do, ask them to give it back? so enough for me. there's lots of implications of this business of a policy nature. my conclusion is that the material went there. whether shapiro was actually present when it happened, it's hard to prove. they tell me about arsenic if we don't see the match held to the flame come it's hard to make an arson conviction. i think the justice department had the same trouble and finally i would say that numec is not alone. rafael nadal rooted the famous hollywood producer, the most recent movie was revenant, was an israeli spy causing the smuggling of materials and information to their nuclear program for many years. and last but not l

everybody thought this was a great state for mo udall. on primary night, it. he had won. when trurl votes came in the next morning, jimmy carter held up the headlines saying he had won and it was wisconsin that sent him on the way to the nomination. >> and it was after one of those losses, the voters have spoken. >> let me ask you about the bigger picture implications. bernie sanders needs some wins here if he is going to play catch-up. more than, that he needs big wins. do you see any realivityic chance he could catch her? >> he has a long climb to go on the delegate side. i don't think anybody would deny that. but i always caution a bit of care on the delegate count. hillary clinton is the clear front-runner. she has got tremendous advantages there. what sanders needs is momentum. how he does in washington state this weekend, how he does in wisconsin, these things matter. this campaign is still going and viable. so wisconsin becomes very important for him as a message to the states beyond. >> and craig on the republican side, john kasich is there at 20% in the polls. te

of double shootings just blocks away from each other, and the first happened before 7:30 on north udall streets and the next at 32nd and pine. police have not made any arrests in the case. >>> and you know, it is amazing that you see this, and just disrupters and so bad for the country. so bad for the country. >> protesters made their mark at another trump rally in kansas ci city. some were pepper sprayed outside, and the republican frontrunner repeatedly ridiculed them saying "go home to mommy." yesterday in ohio, authorities arrested a man who rushed the stage at a trump campaign rally, and it happened in dayton as trump spoke to the crowd. the secret service intercepted the protester, and rushed him away. he is now charged with disorderly condushg disorderly -- conduct, an inducing a panic. this comes on the heels of friday night's chaos. the campaign canceled the event altogether over safety concerns and meanwhile, some of the other campaigns won caucuses yesterday, and marco rubio came out ahead in the republican caucuses, and john kasich in second, and in wyoming ted cruise picked

. >> after one of his losses that moe udal, the voters have spoken, the bastards. >> the democratic sideie sanders needs wins here if he'll play catch-up with hillary clinton. he needs big wins. do you see any realistic chance he could catch her in the delegate count? >> look, he has a long climb to go on the delegate side. i don't think anybody would deny that. i always caution a bit of care on the delegate count. hillary clinton is the clear front-runner. she has got tremendous advantages there. but what sanders needs at this point is momentum. he needs to post victories. so how he does in washington state this weekend, how he does in wisconsin, these things matter, because they're what kind of tells people, yeah, this campaign is still going. it's still viable. so wisconsin becomes very, very important for him as a message to the states beyond. >> and craig, on the republican side, john kasich is sitting there at about 20% in the polls right now, ted cruz has been saying he wants the one-on-one with donald trump. he thinks kasich is getting in his way. is that donald trump's potential

represent work of senators booker, daines, fischer, gardner, klobuchar, manchin, moran, rubio, schatz and udall. we also adopted important amendments from senators heller and peters. even the chairman and ranking member of the senate environment and public works committee, senator inhofe, as well as a long-time former member of the commerce committee, senator boxer, made key contributions to the bill's did once section. the mobile now act would not have been possible without the collaboration of these senators. and so it's my hope, mr. president, that this spirit of bipartisanship will also carry over to the commerce committee's efforts to reauthorize the federal communications commission. compared to other federal agencies, the f.c.c. is relatively small, but as the regulator of the communications and technology industries, both of which are central to america's modern economy, the commission has significant influence over the treks of -- direction of our country. given the importance of the f.c.c., my colleagues might be surprised to learn the congress has not reauthorized it in more than a q

but i mentioned the udall campaign. i've heard quite a bit from applicants who are on the grid in colorado in 2014 that there was no outrage to the latino community. and that's what i use the comparison to the harr harry red campaign. now because as a democrat but because i think that's what you need to do to attract these voters. the candidate matters, and issue positions matter and you still have to do outreach. now, the other thing that's interesting is that okay, the campaigns will say look, we have limited resources so it is what it is. we've got to look for the 50 plus one equation that's going to get us over the top. okay, fair enough. the interesting thing that even if you look at latino voters highly likely latino voters, the levels of outrage that they report getting from the parties is very low, from democrats to tennessee less than 50% of highly likely latino voters, tend to get the average. it's even lower from the republican party. so i would say it's lackluster over all. it varies and is more intense in s

we are thrilled to bring udall stresyou donald stressas sheim. talk about how the chinese perceive america as so much of the nation goes to the polls. ♪ francine: i'm francine lacqua in new york; tom keene is in new d.c. let's get to ryan chilcote at the geneva motor show with the ceo of maserati. ryan? ryan: hey, francine. as you say, i am talking to the boss of maserati, unveiling the new model. that is exactly where we are. he's the ceo. take it away -- tell us about it. >> this is our new baby. the first ever suv. why -- the answer is always this. we produce a maserati first and foremost, 100% maserati. ryan: this has got a v6? >> yeah, we start with a v6. 130 horsepower, 0 to 60 -- ryan: i could get one if iw want? >> maybe later. ryan: 0 to 60 in -- ? >> 5.2 ryan: let's check it out. i guess the main thing here -- when you think about your family, what does this do? not everybody knows -- you are part of the chrysler family. what you trying to do with these cars? nobody is in these sectors. our entry-level pricing -- we haven't decided that

postmortem which was led by mo udall, democrat from arizona and his records became available in recent years at the university of arizona library which were a vital source to me. we'll hear in mr. about a man named john hadden, cia -- about a man named john hadden, c. a state and chief station in tel aviv at the time of this event. his son made his records available to me about two years ago after his father to death, and they proved invaluable as you will see from quotations i will provide. and then in 2006 the department of energy declassified some tactical information -- technical information about the uranium that was stolen, it helped put the whole story together. so some of us broke very late compared to what had happen. but these a couple things that israel's nuclear program. the first reactor built in israel was applied by the united states under president eisenhower's atoms for peace program. some of you are probably old enough to remember that. it was an attempt by the eisenhower administration to stay in the lead over the soviets in the distribution of nuclear technology in

michelle lujan grisham, and tom udall and martin heinrich, i called for an investigation into this unwarranted and reckless disruption of services to some of our most vulnerable citizens. i'm also working with the delegation on legislation to prevent something like this from ever happening again. and i'm working to strengthen the behavioral health system that is currently in shambles through legislation that would provide enhanced funding to states that prioritize behavioral health infrastructure, data and access. if we want states to build and maintain strong behavioral health systems, then we must provide states with the necessary support. during our many conversations with c.m.s. on the crisis and its impact on new mexicans, it has been clear there is a lack of meaningful data that is needed to hold policymakers accountable. it is unacceptable that after months and months of requesting state-provided data on the behavioral system data in new mexico, c.m.s. would simply determine that this data to have, i quote, significant limitations, unquote. a report from new mexico's legislative finance

udall: we believe this nomination has really, really strong bipartisan support, and we look forward to working together to get this to the floor, get an up-or-down vote. so i rise again today to urge support for roberta jake object son. she is a dedicated public certificate advance, more than ready to be our ambassador to mexico. "the l.a. times" has called roberta jacobson among the most qualified people ever to be tapped to represent the u.s. and mexico. we have a distinguished candidate, a career member of the senior executive service. shows a ready to serve. -- she's ready to serve. we have strong support for her on both sides of the aisle. what we need now is an up-or-down vote. and once again we failed to get one. it's hard to explain this dysfunction when i talk to my constituents in new mexico. they just don't understand this kind of dysfunction. they don't understand it neither do i, frankly, and we are a border state. this is a critical position. it is critical to our security. it is critical to our economy. earlier today senator flake, senator klobuchar, and senator heinrich

. >> thank you, senator udall. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and secretary kerry, let me echo what others have said about your excellent service around the country and all you're doing to try to bring peace to many of these difficult regions. i'm glad you mentioned roberta jacobson in your opening and other senators have mentioned her here. i've worked with her extensively. i think she's a very capable career state department person. you know, as you said, she doesn't make the policy about cuba and so if you're objecting to the policy, it doesn't make any sense to hold up her nomination, and i went down last week to the senate floor to offer her name in consent and it was objected to, and i can just tell you, this is an area that she's nominated for mexico to be the ambassador to mexico. this has a real impact on my state. the state of new mexico borders with mexico. we have dramatic trade that's going on from in the last 15 years, it started at about $7.5 million, now it's up to about $1.2 billion. we have all sorts of cooperative ki
