i think we have done yeoman's work to try to set the stage for good, successful wrc 19, but i do worry based on mike's. in 2015, you can show up with the best -- based on 2015, you can show up with the best intention and run into nations you block together and prevent spectrum from being reallocated, whether to protect domestic industry, or they just don't want the u.s. to get ahead. that is problematic. you could see the same stars aligning as we go into 2019. i hope that's not the case, but that worries me about the itu. i have been critical of the itu overall, not just in spectrum, but how it functions today. i expect more out of the organization. those countries interested in moving forward on 5g and other spectrum opportunities will not wait for when the rest of the world community reaches a point where we were frustrated enough that we will move forward, as we almost did in 2015, with a number of like countries and our own structure. we would like global harmonization. there are benefits from global harmonization, from being in the itu. but if it's not going to be a successful or

>> well, i mean, yeoman chin cares about health care for people. he cares about affordable housing for his people. having jobs and wages. >> opinioids. >> honestly, if you asked these democrats in the local democratic party meetings they are not even talking about trump. they're talking about what is important to them on the ground. which is health care, et cetera. i'm here, talking to you from dallas. here, i mean, people really do care about whether they're able to put their -- to get their child some health care if there's an emergency. >> most began valuizing policy issues. >> it is. it is huge. >> health care. who will make the best deal? we'll see. jennifer granholm -- >> donald trump threw 32 million people off. we are just saying, democrats are going to be energized. >> that's just -- that's just not -- not even close to being jennifer. >> we'll be talking about health care a ton. it is a priority on the show. rick, appreciate you being here. jennifer, as always. all right. time to tangle with a sticky subject. the credibility crisis in the

they are doing the yeoman's work of keeping people informed. it's a shame that what happened in cyberspace may in fact have worked its way down to a small community. >> lucy, it is remarkable that these folks at the "capital gazette" published a newspaper. they did so yesterday. they were determined. their initial tweets were defiant. the idea that they are going to publish is damn paper is the way they said it. and they did. they reported on the story. i don't know how they held it together to report on this story. they reported about their five dead colleagues in detail and put out a paper and left a blank dhitorrial page saying today we are leaving this blank in memory of these five colleagues who passed away. it is admirable. i think it's remarkable to remember that in america, generally speaking, elsewhere in the world journalists work under threat all the time. >> yes. >> it doesn't happen -- we are not as familiar with this in america but all around the world journalises work under threat just for doing their jobs. >> they absolutely do.

member reed for their work on this important legislation as well as senator inhofe, who has done such yeoman's work in senator mccain's absence. this bill has tremendous implications for our country both abroad and here at home. in alabama, we know all too well about the need for national security and good economy. from redstone arsenal, from maximum we will air force base and for all of our reserve and national guards men and women in the state of alabama, they are on the front lines. in addition to the tens of thousands of civilians that support their work, alabama is home to a first-class workforce that supports our national security mission every single day. so it only makes sense that this legislation continues to support the work of alabamians to include a well-deserved 2.6% pay raise for our troops, and just as important, it also includes funds for the missile defense agency at redstone arsenal in huntsville. it increase space defense funding which is so important to our air force. it authorizes 75 f f-35 joint strike fighter aircraft. it provides, as senator lankford talked about a mom
