wyoming has three. but they have bigger population than wyoming and unless you can see that they're discriminated, there's probably no defense for it anywhere. it gives some people inflated power in choosing the president. in the senate it's 67 more extreme, why do some people have two different senators, that's california. that's a power play by the philadelphia convention. they tried to justify why the small states would be everwhmd -- ov overwhelmed by the larger states, but i'm sorry, that's long-winded. >> you can watch this and other programs on-line at book tv.org. >> here is look at upcoming book fairs and festivals happening around the country. in may 31st to june 2nd, look for the annual trade show in new york city where we'll sit down with authors and publishers to discuss the forth coming books. later in june, live from the 33rd annual printers fest in chicago followed by the annual roosevelt reading festival hosted by the fdr presidential museum in hyde park, new york. june 17th. for inform

in wyoming and in much of the country, energy means jobs. our goal should be to make american energy as clean as we can, as fast as we can, without raising costs on american families. all of us should be able to agree on that. it's time to restore that balance to america's energy policy. president trump is dedicated to getting that balance right. republicans in congress are dedicated to getting the economy back in gear. and i hope that more democrats will join us with the, with their ideas and with their support. that's what the american people want, mr. president, and it's what they voted for. it's why people are confident and why they see better days ahead for this great country. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. kennedy: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator louisiana. mr. kennedy: are would medicine a quorum call, mr. president? the presiding officer: we are. mr. kennedy: i ask that the quorum call be suspended,

this system brought heavy snow to wyoming today. just pause to consider that.ast we don't have snow, right? this will bring severe weather to the plains. but that is our weather maker for sunday and monday. we have winds out of the west. that is a mild air mass for us. we will have clear skies tonight. tomorrow morning things are quiet at 8:30 tomorrow morning. at about 2:00 in the afternoon, looks like scattered showers south of philadelphia. at 5:30 again maybe just a scattered spritz from that storm system. we could see more overnight in delaware and south jersey. the only thing on sunday is the winds shift to the east. it will be cooler along the beaches and maybe a sprinkle in the lehigh valley or burks county sunday afternoon but for the most part, sun will be dry. sunday night and into monday that we watch that system that was in wyoming coming through and on monday scattered showers here and there. how much rain? less than a half inch. this is not a big rainmaker for us. reading at 69 degrees. let's go to voorhees, 72. newark, 71. here's the ten day on

the presiding officer: the senator from wyoming. mr. barrasso: mr. president, i would congratulate my colleague from missouri for the excellent comments that he made and would bring to the floor a report that camer out last evening, which is essentially the analysis that the obama administration never wanted the american people to see, and it has to do with obamacare from 2013 to 2017. and this report that the obama administration would love to hide from the american people makes the point that my colleague from missouri just made. in those years from 2013 to 2017, once obamacare came into place, premiums around the country in the states that are buying on the federal obamacare exchange, premiums went up 105%, on average. 105%. more than double. more than double in 20 states, triple in three states -- oklahoma, alaska, and alabama n wyoming we went up 107% in just four years. tell me something else that's gone up by that price in your life, in our lives anywhere over that short a period of time. but those are the numbers that are out today. so now mo

, why i live, cody, wyoming, 214 miles. there's one traffic light kind of halfway in between and people don't worry about the amount of traffic. the reason they put the traffic light there was not that they felt they needed it, many years ago, but they were just concerned that when students went to the university of wyoming at laramie, they would have a traffic light, so they put a traffic light up. are there ways we can work together to look for common s s sense solutions for rural america? >> absolutely. you mentioned your concerns, we take note of that. i come from a rural state myself. as we go forward, the administration wants for very, very emphatic that it will understand the concerns of rural america. >> could you please provide us with a bit of an update of the administration's timeline for the infrastructure package? >> the administration's timeline was in part based on the congressional timeline. and it was anticipated that third quarter of this year would probably be a time that both house and senate will be abl

plans in their entire state this year: alabama, alaska, oklahoma, south carolina, and wyoming. mr. alexander: that's because of the affordable care act law passed in 2010. mr. president, unfortunately we're going to be hearing every day, not just about insurers leaving counties and states but about the ones that remain because they're going to be charging sky high premiums. premiums went up by as much as 62% this year in tennessee and by 116% in arizona. and as the new rate increases are proposed to the states over the next few weeks and months, our constituents are going to be saying what are you going to do about that? so there is an urgency, but we want to get it right. so again, here are my goals for the senate bill, which we will now write in the next few weeks. number one, reserve could you and reserve could you is not too stong a word -- rescue is not too advantage to word, the millions of americans across this country who are going to have few or zero insurance options in the year 2018 because of collapsing obamacare exchanges unless congress acts. number two, lower premium

i grew up in montana and wyoming. we had a good open spaces and i took them for granted. i came to the east coast, and there are all these cities. i never knew about this park until i came to interview for a job. i stepped out, and i was captivated. it is a magical place. it is so rare to have this much land preserved so close to washington, d.c., and in the process of preserving this landscape so that people at mount vernon could look across the river and get the experience george and martha washington had , in the process of preserving that view, we have preserved one of the most important indigenous sites on the east coast. not to mention having such a beautiful place for people to escape from the chaos that is our everyday life, particularly here near the nations capital. this is a special place. more information about diskette away park -- this cat piscataway park, please visit their website. this is american history tv. thehe roland company was hardest employer in trenton at the turn of the 20th century. coming up, learn about the innovations about this company that

in my home state of wyoming, prices have doubled. a number of places where you have no choices, no one is selling on the obamacare exchanges. you have to say what can we do for those people now. >> the congressional budget office as you know later today will release its report estimating what passed in the house of representatives, the republican version, what that's going to cost the american public, how many people been ached and will lose health insurance. what are you bracing for? >> i want to see what they have to say. when it came to obamacare, they were terribly wrong in the past and said by now there would be over 22 million people signed up for obamacare. only 10 million signed up. they also said with the individual mandate, people would go and buy obamacare insurance. we know over 20 million chose to ignore the individual mandate either over 8 million actually paid the fine and another 12 or so million just got a deferral and said okay, we don't have to pay the fine. so they've been wrong before. but i want to see exactly w

submitted during the public comment perio, the agency also coordinated with states like colorado, wyoming and north dakota that have r already created similar protections to reduce methane leaching and flaring at the state level. the the bml rule will have minimalav cost for oil and gas producers. in fact, leak detections and repairs required by the rule will help companies make more money selling the gas. pro meanwhile, this role will grow our economy by investing in innovative companies that have developed the technology to minimize and protect our public health. this rule should not have been controversial. the overwhelming majority of my. constituents in new mexico support reducing wasted natural gas. a recent poll by colorado college conducted after the election found that 74% of new mexicans support the bml methane rate reduction role. i'm proud that enough senatorsem shared that view and voted to reject an attempt to repeal the common sense protection of public health, air quality, and responsible development of our natural resources. there is nothing conservative about making it e

one insurer offering aca plans in their entire state, alabama, alaska, oklahoma, south carolina and wyoming. that is because on the law passed in 2010. unfortunately, we will be hearing every day not just about insurers leaving counties and states, but about the ones that remain, because they will be charging skyhigh premiums. premiums went up by as much as 60% this year. by 160% in arizona. and as the new rate increases are proposed over the next few weeks, our constituents will say, what will you do about that? there is an urgency, but we want to get it right. again, here are my goals for the senate bill which we won all right in the next few weeks. rescue, that is not too strong a word, the millions of americans across this country who are going to have few or zero insurance options in the year 2018 because of collapsing obamacare exchanges, unless congress acts. number two, lower premium rates. because in many states, the premiums are going through the roof under the affordable care act. number three, gradually transferred to states more flexibility in managing the medicaid programs. ab

what works in wyoming. what works in new york city. >> cassidy collins was the first major senate bill that was introduced. one of the things they said to me when i interviewed them about this, essentially if you like your obamacare, you are a state that likes it, you get to keep it. is that the goal of your bill here that if you just brought up new york city, if new york likes what they are doing, are you going to have a bill that lets them keep doing what they are doing some. >> that's part of the discussion about what the best way is to repeal and replace a bill that we know is failing the american people and caused skyrocketing costs. even in new york, you have people who are on obamacare and "new york times" has written about it. they can't get care. they have coverage and can't find a doctor who will take care of them. you have people with higher cost and fewer choices and that's the problem. we want to make sure people get care and right now the democrats seem to want to pass the buck. we are trying

unconscionable cuts that you are making to medicaid, why you're going to throw seniors in the state of wyoming or the state of vermont off the meals on wheels program, maybe the one nutritious program that they get a day, why you're going to throw women and low-income babies off of the w.i.c. program at a time when infant mortality rates in this country are already high. do you really think it is a great idea to tell a low-income pregnant woman that you're going to take away the w.i.c. program, take away nutrition programs from children, in order to give a massive tax break of $52 billion to the walton family? please explain your logic to the american people. mr. mulvaney: i'll see if i can handle each of those in reverse. actually, let me deal with the c.b.o. first. i can't disparage who i don't know. i don't think i've ever disparaged the director -- mr. sanders: you made a dismissive remark about him. even the c.b.o. you appointed the director. mr. mulvaney: i'm telling you that the results are awful. mr. sanders: but you appoint him. so let's go with that. mr. mulvaney: i measure performan

better job in wyoming way.ge states to make decisions on their own and do what works best in that state, not what washington says you have to do. i think it was one of the major problems with obamacare, shannon, from the beginning. >> shannon: let me get you to respond to this example as well. they give us a 64-year-old earning $26,500. their premium would spike 800% from 1700 to 13,600. is that a framework the senate can work with? >> we're working on dealing with that. senator thune from south dakota has been very active in an amendment to try to smooth that out in a better way. we want people to have affordable care so they can get the care they need from a doctor they choose at lower costs. what we've been seeing with obamacare is people can't keep their doctor, can't keep their insurance plan, and when you have people that have been going to a doctor and they find out even under obamacare with a narrower networks they can't keep their doctor and if they go to several doctors and can't keep any of them that

not only in colorado, but parts of wyoming and initially into utah. well, that would change because while these were the traditional hunting grounds and the traditional cultural areas for the utes, westward expansion's crush would begin to press in on then. their traditional areas would be further forced by whites seeking ute lands for minerals, lumber and farms. , the expansionist had a different idea for the land which the utes had utilized. and so we have a conflict between two very distinct cultures with different views of what colorado meant to them. amongst these confrontational episodes were supposedly a series of burnings that took place. and colorado governor frederick pitkin contended the utes have burned more timber these past two weeks than white settlers have cut in 20 years. you know a politician is never going to tell a lie, so it must be true. in response to these allegations, governor pitkin called on the local military commander, a civil war veteran, to quell what was conceived as an uprising. in response, during the summer of 1879,

in a recent hearing in this committee, wyoming department of transportation director bill panos stated in written testimony that the using the current formula based fast act approach to distribution would ensure both rural and urban states participate in the initiative and it would help push the benefits of any new infrastructure initiative out to the public promptly. i agree. >> using the formula-based approach we'll expedite the delivery of additional infrastructure spending which will ensure highway projects for the project will be built faster as opposed to adopting a new funding structure that's less understood by the stakeholders. public-private partnerships can be affected in urban areas, but don't work for rural states represented on this committee. >> in february, before this committee, a grand county oklahoma commissioner applied on the behalf of the association of counties and she stated in her written testimony the difficulties in rural areas being able to raise revenue to pay for infrastructure and the ever-increasing cost of construction when she stated, quote, in additio

[laughter] i.s. that -- we're almost out of time -- along year as a scholar and teacher, political spouse, public figure, what have been some of the great rewards of distinguished public life, what have been some of the challenges? >> well, when you reach higher levels, the challenge is, you don't have any privacy, you don't have the ability to be spontaneous. if you want to go to the drugstore you have to call a secret service agent. so that's a disadvantage. on the other hand, we were always surrounded by people so nice, i can't say enough good things about the secret service. not only did they do a great job, they were good people. so that's a kind of disadvantage. the advantages, you get to meet remarkable people. died, tick

there's only one company selling in wyoming. it's not what we want.e and my family and it's because of obamacare that we are suffering. that's what i'm hearing at home. all of a sudden, obamacare hasn't gotten more popular. the problems are there. we're trying to address this now, neil, because of the collapse of the healthcare law with higher prices, fewer choices and really a loss for the american people. no matter what won the presidential election, if it was hillary clinton or president trump, you were going to have to deal with the reality of how much problem there is with this healthcare law. >> neil: so no regrets taking this on before tax cuts. >> no, this is what the american people are focused on. we need to get this right, do it in a timely manner but we're not going to be rushed. >> neil: thanks, senator. >> thanks, neil. >> neil: all right. you know, ceos tend to do things their own ways. now we have a ceo as president. we'll have tips after this.

strong across the country, even in coal country. 79% in kentucky, 81% in west virginia, and 82% in wyoming. same in the oil patch. 79% of texans support research into renewables. despite this overwhelming public support, even in the reddest and most fossil fuel states, president trump is proposing massive cuts to this research. clearly tone deaf. it's the same free missions limit on coal plants. in all 50 states, in all 435 red, blue, and purple congressional districts, there is majority support for emissions limits. every single congressional district in the country has majority support for emissions limits. and then, of course, in some it goes up into huge numbers like over 75% here in vermont. but the baseline is that every single congressional district, a majority, want emission limits. but, of course, tone-deaf president trump has directed his epa administrator to look at dismantling the clean power plan. a majority of americans in every single state and in every single congressional district, which obviously includes every republican congressional district, agree that climate change

given that philosophy, we did many field hearings and we went to wyoming, we traveled with john turner, who was the director of u.s. fish and whield life service. we went and met power companies, we talked to farmers and ranchers and took a look at what was actually happening, it was clear then and now that the act has a very different impact and reputation in different regions of this country. i'm pleased give you the rhode island perspective and my perspective which is a different one, it's a policy staffer for the committee who now is overseeing a state agency with considerable budget constraints, of very important and critical mission and the need to have public engagement and buy in if we're going to be successful. so talking -- turning to some of the major points i want to make -- the time is moving too fast here. strong federal rule, critical until the endangered species act was enacted and signed into law by richard nixon, we didn't have a really strong of legal authorities to protect, threaten and endangered species. so that act is really one of the finest conservation laws in
