vermonters have already proven we will not back down. on january 21, vermonters voices were heard. in candlelight vigils across the state, their empathy has been seen. at the naturalization ceremony february 1, vermont's welcoming spirit could be felt. a man i admired greatly, federal district court judge jeffrey crawford gave stirring remarks at that naturalization ceremony. the impact of those remarks were summarized by this one line which he directed particularly to our new muslim citizens -- quote -- "you are equal in the eyes of the law." close quote. judge crawford's message was simple. you're welcome. you are equal. you are protected. my fellow vermonters inspire me every day. i shall take note from the example of what it means to be patriotic americans, so i ask consent that judge crawford's remarks on february 1, 2017, naturalization ceremony in vermont be included in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. leahy: mr. president, i look at judge crawford -- frankly, i have no idea what either he or the other federal district judge's politics are. i just kn

vermont. small state. the only reason vermont is now in 28th place in the nation is because we have to rebuild after hurricane irene. which knocked out a lot of our bridges and our roads. we invested a lot. i could hope we would go forward in rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure not as a result of disasters but being proactive. we are the richest country in the history of the world.. we used to lead the world. in cutting edge infrastructure. we were number one. that is no longer the case. we are behind many other countries. the result of that is loss of y productivity. the result of that is the loss of safety. too many accidents occur because of a crumbling infrastructure. the result of that is loss of f economic potential in jobs. when we talk about rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges and water systems and waste water plants, i had the opportunity to be in flint, michigan a year or so ago. what i saw there made me disbelieve that i was living in the united states of america. but it's not only th

let me ask you this, in vermont with a few exceptions. we're expanding it a little bit, if you live in a more rural area and want to get to work in a more urban, i use those in quotes because our largest city is 40,000, the only way to do it is by automobile. i think we need to build up a rural bus system as well. do you have problems like that in wyoming? can people get to work in other ways than by automobile? >> we do have a tran ssit, whic connects us countries and cities to provide senior transportation. >> but if i'm a worker and i want to get to work other than by automobile, in vermont it's pretty hard to do, is that the case in wyoming as well? >> it's hard but not im probapo. we also have -- some of that in wyoming as well but it's different than the needs in vermont or wyoming, different from the needs in new york. >> thank you, senator. >> we have from a colorado and wyoming standpoint, the need for direct federal investment in highway, i agree i was head in the wyoming state senate before getting elected to this position. i t

let me just talk about vermont for a second. vermont's roads need an additional investment of $700 million a year to get into a state of good repair. the only reason vermont is now in 28th place in the nation is because we had to rebuild after hurricane irene which knocked out a lot of our bridges and roads. i hope we would go forward not a result of disasters but being proactive. we are the richest country in the history of the world. we used to lead the world. that is no longer the case and we are behind many other countries. too many accidents are because of infrastructure. the result of that is loss of economic potential. so when we talk about rebuilding our crumbling roads systems, it's not only the water in flint michigan. we have failing water systems all over this country. we used to lead the world in terms of our rail. today we are behind japan, behind china and many other countries. mr. chairman, i think there is bipartisan agreement we have not invested in our infrastructure. i think there is bipartisan understanding

you're right, vermont is a lovely state. doesn't have a ton of diversity.ave nearly the populations texas has that are populations that are just starting. when my dad went to texas in 1957 when he was 18, he couldn't speak english. he was from cuba. he watched dishes making 50 cents an hour. he didn't have healthcare. he came to texas to get opportunity. that job encable eenabled him t another job where he could get healthcare. that's a much better solution. create an environment where you don't tax the daylights out of people. >> aren't we all happy that under obama we created 15 million new jobs in the private sector? >> senators, i want to get to more audience questions. this one is about the fact that the affordable care act requires that all insurance plans cover what the law calls essential health benefits. this includes maternity and delivery costs. we have a question on what will happen to that coverage for maria who is pregnant with her second child. >> i'm a nursing student at the medical university of south carolina. i'm concerned about the impli

it's a book by joseph ellis, a historian from university of vermont, and it's a book about historical encounters with the founding generation. there was one particular chapter, a vignette that took place between thomas jefferson and james madison and alexander hamilton. place as atook result of something that was going on in congress in 1790. it was a difficult and challenging issue called the assumption bill. the colonies came out of the war. there was tremendous debt that the states had incurred and could not pay the debt and alex ander hamilton had a great idea, that the government should assume that debt and pay it off on behalf of the states. that caused people like thomas jefferson and james madison to be concerned about the role of this federal government and the newfound responsibilities that it might have and so there was in tractability around some important issues, the role between the federal government and states. sounds a little like today. and they did something that doesn't happen very much today, they actually got together. they actually spent time together. in this e

[cheering] during the course of the senator's presidential campaign, i heard from many who described the old-school brooklyn accent reminded them of their uncle or grandfather, a familiar passionate voice ready to impart lessons and take on tough arguments. for me, it was and how senator sanders spoke but it's what he was saying that recalled an earlier generation in my family. his principled accuracy for the rights and dignity of working people and average americans reminded me of my grandparents and my uncle, union organizers in wisconsin. [cheering] [applause] they worked and fought for an america that would live up to its promise in the land of freedom, justice and equality for all of its citizens. they were clearheaded about the challenges in opposition they face and they refused to give up. those were their values and is their tradition. it's senator sanders tradition and it's our tradition, too. the same values also formed the backbone of the senator's strong support for israel

in my home state of vermont, we have 90,000 public school students.ybody can afford to send their kids to private schools. not everybody can go with the elite. not everybody's a billionaire like she is. obviously this country is better if we have a strong public school system for everybody, rural areas, everybody else can get a good, free, public school education. she knows neither no understanding of that nor commitment to that. let's hope she changes. let's hope she is actually studying some of the things she's supposed to handle. >> she says, senator, she supports public school education but she wants parents to have choices. maybe send the kids to a charter school in the neighborhood that might be better or get a voucher, send the kids to a catholic school that might be better. what's wrong with that? >> there's nothing wrong with sending kids to catholic schools or any other kind of schools if you're paying for it but don't use my taxpayers' dollars for it. spend their money on our public school system. maybe our public school system better. now,

what's the capital of vermont? it could be anything. vermont city, bernieville, cleveland.'s no way to know. and yet despite the reality about immigration, trump is moving ahead with his plans to ramp up deportations and build a border wall. now, there's still many questions about trump's wall including who will build it, and apparently before he even took office trump started reaching out to private developers to see if they would be interested. "the wall street journal" reported this week that in december jorge perez, a billionaire developer and longtime friend of trump's received an e-mail from trump with a message written in upper case. any interest in building a 2,000-mile wall 30 feet high between the usa and mexico. call me. first of all, it takes balls to send that e-mail to a guy named jorge perez. second of all, any interest in building a wall, call me? where else is he drumming up support, in bathroom stalls? [ laughter ] [ applause ] so how did perez -- perez, who again is a longtime friend of trump's, respond to this request to build the wall. he told bloomberg

second of all, what i hear in vermont and all around this country, is people see this president as aal hypocrite, someone who campaigned before the american people, saying i'm a different type of republican, i'm not going to cut social security medicare and medicaid, then he appoints people to those important positions whose whole life's work has been cutting social security, medicare and medicaid. he says i'm going to take on wall street, then he appoints the head of goldman-sachs, one of the largest financial institutions as his right hand guy and surrounds himself with billionai billionaires, so i think there's consternation in this country and you're seeing people stand up and filing back. you're seeing it in utah and elsewhere. hundreds and hundreds of people coming out. on february 25th, two weeks from tomorrow, there will be, whirals all across this country, where democrats, independents and republicans, are going to go out to congressional offices and say you're not going to throw 30 million people off health insurance. >> you bring up those town halls, i want to ask you that

nathan invites us back to vermont for a second interview.ll fill in some blanks. when we arrive at his home -- hi, nathan, how are you? nathan seems as adrift as he was out in the ocean. >> i was lost at sea, my mom died. what would be great, to have people embracing you, saying we are glad you are home, we are glad you are alive and also helping me to deal with my mom's death. it hasn't been that. >> reporter: nathan says he was counting on support from linda's three sisters, his aunts. instead, there's been a stony silence. >> i haven't received any calls. >> reporter: not from a single one of them? >> that's correct. it makes me feel like i have no family. i want to have family, i want them to be my family. >> reporter: nathan's aunts don't want to speak with us either. >> it's a terribly, terribly upsetting and difficult time. their focus is not on relationships, it's on getting answers to questions. >> this barn may be from well before 1850, i don't know. >> reporter: wow. despite whispers he might have killed his mother for millions of
