there are a lot of things that we want to work on together, but the united states senate right now is. mitch mcconnell himself said that he wanted the senate to be in the personnel business and that's all we do every day, practically. and i've only been in the senate for about 18 months, but i can see a waste when i -- i recognize waste when i see it and that is what is going on here. >> there are many republicans who would say it's good when they're doing personnel work. they're approving judicial nominees that are more in line with their thinking and there are many republicans who would look and say you may think that it's a big, fat waste, but mitch mcconnell is doing a very good job. so what would you say to them? >> well, certainly the job of the united states senate is to provide advice and consent for the president's nominations, but that's not the way our job should end. it's just the beginning of our job. there is so much work that i know minnesotans want us to get done. i'm frustrated. i come to this having spent a lifetime working in the private secretarier and being a mom

whenever you think about the united states senate and how it function, these are pretty impressive people. they've accomplished something prior in their life and just to get to the senate is a real thing. but sheldon whitehouse is the single most fearless individual in politics that i've ever met. he is the single most tireless individual in politics that i've ever met and it's not just the speech making, but today is a marker because he made 250 -- is this 250 or you already did it? this is 250, it has been 249. it will be 250 individual speeches on the united states senate floor. sometimes there are people in this chamber and sometimes it's empty and you're talking to these incredible young men and women who serve as pages and the presiding officer who has mostly no choice but to sit there politely. but sheldon whitehouse will give his 250th speech on climate and it is not most of what he has done. it is a small part of what he has done to lead on climate with absolute moral and scientific and political and pragmatic clarity. and i'll just say a couple of more things about my partnershi

it is an honor to be here to recognize the original standing committees of the united states senate. the original one, committees on finance, established december 11, 1850. contrary to what my predecessor may have led some people to believe, senator hatch and i were not original members of this committee. [laughter] senator grassley: for more than two centuries, the senate committee on finance has steered landmark legislation through congress that has shaped american society and our way of life, and i think you gave a better historical description of that than i am prepared to do, and i appreciate your perspective of that. more than 100 years ago, it took passage of the 16th amendment to allow the federal government to raise revenue through the income tax. since then, the most ambitious and sweeping policy changes under the committee's jurisdiction is arguably social security, a critical income safety net for the nation's elderly, survivors, and disabled. the finance committee was also instrumental in the passage of the g.i. bill following world war ii to provide benefits to returning

when you look at all the cubans who have come to the united states, we have cubans who serve in the united states senate who were part of that. we have jews who fleed persecution in the soviet union. we did it when the vietnamese that stood by american soldiers and risked their lives were given refuge in the united states. the list goes on and on, and it reflects who we are as a nation. we screen those who come in, but we say that our doors are open, to give them a second chance in life and the protection of the united states. that was what we did from world war ii until the election of donald trump as president of the united states. now he has turned back the clock. ware back in the s.s. st. louis era. america is better than this. we can keep our nation safe and respect our heritage as a nation of immigrants. we can have a secure border and abide by our international obligations to protect refugees fleeing persecution, as we have done on a bipartisan basis for decades. the reality is that president trump's cruel and ineffective policies on immigration have made our southern border much less secure than

the united states senate. but now that mitch mcconnell has driven decency out of the republican side, it's hard to remember the way things were before the trump-mcconnell alliance. we still have examples of politicians who know what to do when they don't like what their supporters are doing or channing or saying. they don't make the excuse that the audience misbehavior started too fast for them to handle and don't lie after the fact about what happened. here's an example of that. here's one of the congress men who president trump has been attacking for days and attacked last night. here's one of the congress women stopping her own supporters in an audience when she didn't like their reaction to someone who was disagreeing with her in a town hall about climate change hosted by chris hayes. >> can we come back maybe to universal income later? >> no! no! >> hey, hey, hey! that's unacceptable and that's the difference between me and trump.

>> i certainly -- i don't think it's going to the united states senate and it's not going to pass. a little bit more of a measured approach to this. i try to analyze things in a logical manner and i think we can all acknowledge there are thousands if not millions of americans that are trying to support their family on one, two, or three minimum wage jobs. a standard of living, a place like new york may need 15 or $20 an hour minimum wage but a place like ohio may need $10 an hour. i would say it needs to be decided regionally as far as minimum wage increases and i think that small businesses need to be exempt under 50 employees. now walmart as a whole different story, those guys need to pay more and give more hours for their employees are not relying on things like medicaid, and tax dollars. >> but didn't we see, it was now essentially agreed to do so but we will not cutback people's hours. isn't that part of the problem? >> it is part of the problem. the cbo said they raise the minimum wage up to 3.7 million jobs will be lost. i did say it's hard to tell how the u.s. economy and c

this bill was so important that the united states senate made it their top legislative priority and pass it with overwhelming bipartisan support. h.r. 336, a bill introduced by ranking member mccaul, combines four various policy initiatives that deal with the united states-israel relationship. this legislation authorizes assistance in weapons transfers to israel. it extends defense cooperation with jordan, and establishes additional sanctions on individuals supporting the syrian government. most importantly this bill allows states to die vest from entities -- divest from entities that are boycotting israel. just this week the house passed with bipartisan support a resolution opposing the anti-israel, anti-semitic boycott divestment and sanctions movement also own as b.d.s. that resolution was a great steppingstone. but we need to do more. now we must pass legislation with some teeth. there is no doubt that israel is our greatest ally in the middle east, and it's the only jewish state. since her birth 71 years ago, the u.s.-israel relationship has continued to grow stronger as we find new
