the eds ter of the play book blog he joins me in washington for a whitehouse watch.oe biden, last night. no one could have watched that without having been emotionally touched. >> people are wondering, is this a new opening chapter for vice president biden and stephen colbert asked the vice president about the possibility of running for president. and the vice president saying that whatever his decision is, he thinks that he needs to be 110% there. that he needs to really throw himself into it. now, charlie, you and i were talking off camera about the fact that someone had told you that the vice president accomplished there what secretary clinton has failed to accomplish in a whole campaign. and that is to project a sense of humanity of authenticity of reality. now, what does this mean for a campaign? everybody of course is trying to read between the lines. friends of the vice president told me immediately upon seeing this that they thought that this meant he was sort of leaning away from a campaign. it's hard to say i'm not really there yet, and in a couple weeks sa

senator grassley: senator whitehouse. senator whitehouse: thank you, chairman. in evaluating this question of civil access to content maintained by the service provider, i take a step back to the question of a criminal warrant. a criminal warrant is obtained by a government official going before a federal judge on an ex parte basis and getting the judge's consent to get access to the material involved. that protection is there, as i understand t. because of the immense power that criminal law enforcement gives to the government. power of, for instance, incarceration. we even have a federal death penalty. so from the very beginning the founders constructed a process that limited arbitrary access to information on the part of the government when it had those errible powers in its hands. does the government have any such powers with respect to civil endorsement? ms. tyrangiel: it does not. senator whitehouse: just like a warrant the government would have to go before a federal judge to get access to the data for civil enforcement purposes. ms. tyrangiel: yes. havin

whitehouse: thank you very much mr. president. i'm here today for the 111th time in my "time to wake up" series urging this body to wake up to climate change. it is happening all around us and it is happening right now not in some distant future. and the warnings of what's to come if we fail to act are sobering. congress has the ability and the responsibility to change the course that we are on but we can't do it until senate republicans step up and start debating real solutions. smart climate policy can align with conservative values. conservative values like prudence in the face of risk. like protection of property rights and individual liberty. and like market-based solutions for solving problems. senator schatz and i have proposed a fee on carbon emissions, correcting a market failure that currently allows major emitters to pollute for free. while forcing citizens,regular citizens, to bear the physical and financial burden. even if you're a tea partier why would you want a big special interest to be able to distort the energy

look who is in the whitehouse. look who is at the department of justice. we thought we had moved past those stark reminders that there are people there who live in a world of hate and will seek to act on it. we thought that we had moved past this history of bigotry and brutali brutality. we thought we left behind the pure intimidation and cruelty of the night riders, those who come in the night and try and keep you. we thought we had moved away from that. for many of us, it took us back to another time that we thought we had erased away forever. a time when just 52 years ago this week, four little girls went to church one morning. they went to sunday school one weekend. and they were there attending a sermon entitled the love that forgives and they didn't come home that day. they didn't come home to those four families who live on with the loss of their children who suffered the bomb at the 16th street baptist church in birmingham. now, just in the days after that bombing, 52 years ago, i was 4 years old. my father, like all parents, looked at me and my tw

[applause] >> and i was say that not everyone was wildly enthusiastic of the passage bet it was an effort to move the federal government to increase transparency. but we have been leading the effort and enormously impressed with how much progress we have made in the last year and i will talk about those but some of the key thing is is to convince the community there is a number of cases why the federal government needs to be more open and transparent and the federal spending area. previously there questions have to get access? that is a challenge that it is silo did so many different systems we could sit next to each other but you may have access to a system that i don't and we are in the same organization it would be better if we had access to the save information to make decisions. every talk about that with better decisions and better government. the fed is the reason why the federal government needs

and a year ago, senator sheldon whitehouse and i went down there at this time of year on the seasonal high tide, and lo and behold the pumps worked, and the pumps got the water back into biscayne bay so that the roads stayed dry. but look what happened two days ago. this is downtown miami beach. you see the fella? it's above his ankles. and he's up on the curb. right here is the curb. he steps down and it comes up just below his knee. you see the cars. you see the water. that's downtown miami beach. this is not just the phenomenon of the big full moon. this is the phenomenon of sea level rise. let's take another view. okay. here's a lady that is trying to keep her feet dry up on a wall, and you can see that here is the sidewalk, here's the curb, there's the street, and as you can see, this is a middle part of the barrier island of miami beach. this isn't right next to the beach. it isn't right next to biscayne bay on either side, the east and the west of the barrier island. this is in the middle where you have all of these -- in this case, it's condominiums where people live. so what

we had senator whitehouse who was going to come down, senator merkley who was going to come down, several of the key members of the environment and public works committee that played such a big role in terms of moving this bill forward. the senator who really kicked it off was senator frank lautenberg. what a star in terms of bipartisanship. i remember working with him when i was on the environment and public works committee for a long period of time on a very substantive piece of legislation. it was what -- it was so good we couldn't find much bipartisanship on it, and he understood that. it got out of the committee. it wasn't ready for prime time here on the floor. and so what we ended up doing was saying we need to go back to square one. senator lautenberg took that very seriously. he met with senator vitter, senator manchin played a role in that. senator manchin was one of the ones that was going to come to the floor and talk, played a role in getting them together. as a result, a bipartisan bill came out in the last congress, and it's continued now for almost two and a half years, an

i wanted to join senator whitehouse yesterday.he has been an unwavering voice on the need for congress to take legislative action to address climate change. he hit a milestone in may of this year by giving his 100th speech on the floor, calling on his colleagues to act on climate change. he's also brought together a group of senators to form the climate action task force and i'm proud to be a member of the group. madam president, i believe that we need a strong energy agenda for america and one that recognizes the challenges of climate change and that empowers people to be part of the solution. the pope has called climate change one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day. he has gained international attention for his commitment to protecting our world and serving those in need. thursday, when we have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear from the pope as he addresses congress, i anticipate that he will call on all americans to come together to tackle many challenges but among them is climate change. during my

whitehouse: mr. president, i rise today for the 110th, i think it is, time to ask my colleagues to wake up to climate change. long after today's debate has died down, it will still be looming and threatening. we stand now at the precipice of an environmental catastrophe. the burning of fossil fuels has unleashed a flood of carbon pollution that is pushing the climate system planetwide into conditions that are unprecedented in human history. it has already permanently altered the world that we will leave to future generations. if we keep sleep walking through this and allow the carbon flood to continue, we will leave even bigger changes and risk absolute catastrophe. last month marked the tenth anniversary of hurricane katrina. when that storm made landfall in southeast louisiana on august 29, 2005, it was a category three hurricane. katrina's 125-mile-per-hour winds pushed a massive storm surge before it that overtopped new orleans system of levees and flooded the city. by the end, katrina killed an

whitehouse: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from rhode island. mr. whitehouse: mr. president, i rise today for my 113th time to wake up speech on climate change. they say 13 is unlucky. i don't know what 113 is. but i do know what climate change is. it's very real. we shouldn't kid ourselves and it's an urgent challenge for our country and our world. our leading scientific organizations say so, our national security leaders say so , all of our national laboratories say so, major american businesses say so and religious leaders of all faiths say so. pope francis certainly said so last week. but the senate, the senate is jammed by persistent meretricious climate denial. the denial comes in many guises, but like a compass, all the denial points in the same direction. whatever helps the fossil fuel industry keep polluting. that's the true north of climate denial. whatever helps the fossil fuel industry. look at the fossil fuel money pouring into the republican party and tell me this is a coincidence. we have senators who deny that anything is happening,
