jackie keenan reports from florida. "can you help me load up fruit?" this land for three generations grew what florida is known for - oranges. but after battling diseases, the costs were growing faster than the fruit for carleen gunter and her family. so they called it quits and turned to blueberries. the only way to save the grove was to replant, and then you got 5 years before you have marketable qualities of fruit. i thought while greening is out there before they solve this problem, i can't plant orange trees, i have to plant something else. the bacterial disease called greening is wiping out acres of oranges in florida. production is down 18 percent this year alone. so growers are turning to more profitable fruits, making blue the new orange. it's successful because we've been able to get fruit a lot earlier than we would have with citrus. with greening getting worse, and several blueberry varieties hearty enough to flourish in florida's wet and hot climate, the berry business is booming in the sunshine state. crops

the southeast florida regional climate compact predicts that waters around southeast florida could surge to two feet in less than 50 years. so that's a preview of coming attractions, everglades under water. what was interesting is that the local officials, both republicans and democrats, were working together on this. the division that exists in this body doesn't exist down in. mayor sylvia murphy is a republican. former mayor christian jacobs is a democrat. they both know that flooding and access to drinking water are not partisan issues in the way that they divide us here. here are a couple more examples from my visit. this is castillo de san marcos, the famous ancient fort. very beautiful. it sits along the water there. if you add three feet of sea level rise, it turns from being part of the coast to being part of its own tiny little peninsula surrounded by flooding. it is the oldest masonry fort in the united states. and this is what fort matanzas would look like. this is a little fort built by spanish colonists in 1742, built right here on this inland. if you add three feet of sea l

how is that playing inside florida? and does that make him more or less viable on the national stage? >> i think it was a virtue oeso statement. your viewers should remember the author of the compassionate conservative phrase which george w. bush used in his election campaign was authored by none other than jeb bush. another example referring to illegal immigration as an act of love in a way to maybe triangulate it and win back the support or at least make hispanics give the republican party a second look. if there's one figure in the republican party that can do that with credibility, it is jeb bush. someone who feels completely at home and comfortable with hispanics in the hispanic community. you see his tilt back towards the middle on immigration particularly in this area where he knows in florida and especially nationally the republicans need to make grounds with hispanic votes if they ever hope to capture the white house again. very astute politics on his behalf. he's the one republican in america which has the cre

bishop: i thank the gentleman for from florida. the underlying defense authorization bill is a good bill. s that good rule. with maybe one caveat that there are too many amendments in here. henry clay is the first -- as the first speaker of the house that went from the senate over here, elected as speaker and served as speaker every day he served in the house. he started the standing committee process where people discuss these issues before they come to the floor. some of these amendments have not gone through that process and will be given 10 minutes of debate time on the floor, which is rather small when you compare it to the process of each subcommittee on the armed services committee having established their bill, going to the full committee, full day of debate on the bill before it comes here. there is, for example, one amendment made in order, has a great sponsor, wonderful member of this body but it has untold consequences that probably need the experience of being explored. let me give you some examples. it starts with the

the senator from florida is right. it passed with very strong support in the house, and in my view, a similar bill containing some of the salient provisions in the house will pass the senate. but it is important that that bill be discussed. and i will tell you, madam president, that one of the concerns that i have is i do not want to see the v.a. politicized. it is one thing to say -- which i agree with -- that if a hospital administrator is incompetent, the secretary should be able to get rid of that administrator without a whole lot of paperwork. i agree with that. it is another thing to say that if a new administration comes in, whether it is a democratic or republican, that somebody sitting in the secretary's office can say, i want to get rid of 20 or 30 or 50 hospital administrators because we have other people that we have in there, and we can just get rid of them, and they don't have a rate to defending themselves. i -- and they don't have a right to defend themselves. i worry about that. so clearly we have to d

we have new cemeteries in florida. we serve almost 600,000 veterans a year in florida. so i can truly say i went and talked to various va groups in florida and not one single complaint because we are doing our job and that is what this committee supposed to do. make sure that the va is doing what we committed to the other veterans. and let's forget the grand standing because i have seen a lot of it. i was here. we have money for the veterans. but for years it was just the talk. it was just a talk for years. but under this president and when we had a democratic house and a democratic senate we got the largest va increase in the budget in the history of the united states. so we do have the money. but we got to know we are not just talking the talk we are walking the walk. now dr. lynch, is there any additional information you want to give me about the overall problems with the va around the country? because i know florida is not included. >> thank you. i want to chose my words wisely. let me begin by saying it is absolutely critical that va maintains its focus on its miss
