bill: mr. trump hitting the road tomorrow and thursday for what is being called a thank you tour with his first rally in cincinnati, ohio, but today he is back at the tower working to fill out his cabinet. with me republican tennessee congressman marcia blackburn, member of trump transition team. she was at the tower yesterday. thanks for your time today. >> had a great visit yesterday. bill: let me ask you about that. the a lot of jobs are on the board. which one do you want? >> i have told mr. trump i am certainly a willing participant in the team too get things done. that could mean staying in congress. it could mean coming to a position in the administration. but, bill, that is all mr. trump's story to tell. it is mr. trump's opportunity to make certain that he pulls together a team that he knows is going to work together and bring about change for the american people. that is what they voted for. bill: i fully respect your answer. how do you sell yourself at one of these meetings? take us

bill: right. the kid in the high school newspaper and appalachia, kentucky, great high school, asked us about superpowers, and energy.me and i said as we talked about it, that really pointed out to us that those are such basic things of poore experience people, and even in the u.s., people appreciate how importance energy is. there is still a time and bounds. those became the theme, and yet these are not problems there is some 10-year solution to. the younger generation there to lookheir willingness at things in new ways. today's teenagers will be in their 20's, and a lot of them, the thinking that drives innovation comes from that group. charlie: what are three crazy ideas you think might have potential? i mentioned the sun being used to generate fuels. that is unique because, unlike generating electricity where batteries that store electricity are super expensive and do not last very long, storing gasoline in a big gasoline tank, you just make the tank bigger and they can sit there as long as yo

this bill is a pale imitation of the original bill. it is only a fraction of the funding which the appropriations committee has already put in to enhancing medical research at n.i.h. it overpromises and underdelivers. and some of the aspects of it, the troubling aspects, off-label drugs and special favors for contributors when it comes to medical treatment are just out of place in this. if we didn't learn any lesson in this last election about drank the swamp, well, -- about draining the swamp, well, shame on us because the american people told us do it differently, do it openly, bring in transparency and honesty in this effort, and when it comes to medical research, we should expect nothing less. mr. president, i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from oregon. mr. merkley: mr. president, i'm delighted to join my colleagues from massachusetts and illinois to express strong objections to the 21st century cures bill. a bill that's being considered in the house today and will be considered here i

and this 21st century cures bill. tells about that, briefly. mr. wong: i do not have too much information on what is happening on the senate side. i do know when mcconnell spoke to reporters the other day, one of his top priorities obviously was the repeal of obamacare. i think a lot of the discussion that will be happening is going to be about what republicans do in the first 100 days of the new trump administration. that was part of the discussion that happened yesterday between trump and mcconnell and trump and ryan. reince priebus was there as the. who is one of who is being talked about for chief of staff of the white house. i think a lot of the focus, what i'm hearing from members today, a lot of the focus is going to be on the top priorities of those first 100 days of the trump administration. probably at the top of that list is repealing obamacare. >> we started talking about the house leadership elections next week. let's talk about senate elections. the senate democrats will elect a new minority leader with

>> good. >> hey, bill. bill: i want to show our viewers and i want you to analyze, little -- the knowledge or historical significance that we've seen, okay, so far in the campaigns. take it back to 2012, mitt romney-barack obama. let's go the florida n. the state of florida southern part of the state you had about 26% of the total vote four years ago come from these three counties, miami-dade, broward, and palm beach. if you were to pop up to pennsylvania, this is where hillary clinton will end her campaign, you had 20% of the total vote from the state come from these four, five counties in the southern part of pennsylvania. this is the city of philadelphia. look at this. i think the overall result was less than 300,000 votes statewide and barack obama has 600,000 votes in the city of philadelphia compared to mitt romney which is shy of a hundred thousand. you start thinking about what's important and why and where you make the margin of difference. what do you think about four days away right now? >> four

bill: hmmm. charles krauthamer, syndicated columnist and a fox news contributor who has made his way back to his home town of new york. how are you doing? >> yeah. good to be back. bill: if trump wins, what kind of president would he be? >> well, the first thing he will do, he will irreversibly reshape the party. this was the party of reagan, and the bush years were sort of an echo of the reagan years. reagan defined the contours of the party. trump will do that, it will be changed. particularly the most obvious issues will be immigration and trade. this will be a new party. it will be a populist party. the country will not have a conservative party in the sense of a reaganite party. and you do that by appointing the cabinet, which establishes the leaders of your movement in many areas of life. i think he will be, obviously the rnc chair will be his choice. and i think he will influence who the leaders in congress are. he shapeses the party. that is what happens on both sides. bill: you're sugges

bill: okay. reuters came out with a poll on tuesday afternoon, before the election results were known. in this struck me. a fair majority of americans, 57% feel that more and more they don't identify with what america has become. in your deep thoughts, in your big brain, you have certainly considered that. how do you denine that when you hear a number that large? they don't identify with what america has become? >> well, you know, there is no question that we have changed from the original intention. if somebody 30 years ago had tried to describe today's america to you, you would think, get out of here, you're not talking about america. that is how rapid the change has occurred. and a lot of it is -- bill: is that immigration. >> this is based on misinformation. bill: is that immigration, economic thing, social thing, what is it, doctor? >> it's a social thing because there has been so much change in the media, in entertainment industry, and in the educational industry. so, as a result of that, t

the bill includes a provision that includes a stand-alone bill to track foreign fighters as they attempt to move. his passed this last year by 4 23-0. it includes a report on the current utilization of our national laboratories win the departments of homeland security communities the can expand. i represent two of these laboratories and i have seen how important their work is to our national security. this bill is a result of both parties and both chambers to prioritize our national security needs. i also just want to echo what i have heard from our chairman and ranking member which is there is nothing more fulfilling especially during since national discord to come to work every day and work with the members on this committee. i think maybe the thought is here the chairman and ranking member are both oakland raiders' fans, but when you go into our committee hearing, republicans and democrats put party aside and put national security first. i also want to say i'm going to miss two members and that is congressman patrick murphy and he and i sat. he showed up every day, worked hard and ask

in the short term, there is a cures bill, ae mitchical bill that mcconnell and paul ryan said a priority for the lame duck. what do you think -- do you it might fold into the user fee discussion next year? what does your crystal ball tell those issues? partthink what you -- it's of a much broader conversation that's going on with regard to lame duck. it's extremely ploifl right now,- political right which is that for republicans now, if they want to move legislation, they know they have to work and compromise more, both with the senate minority then ultimately this administration. out therery issue basically. it's going to be a question of what compromises you're willing make versus what you'll come back and do in january. >> this is one that is pretty line,to the finish though, in terms of strong bipartisan agreement. i think the question is for, i think getting democrats on board, probably most important is funding for some of those key administration priorities, like cancer moon shot for n.i.h. i'd also add that included in this legislation for f.d.a. since so many of the provisions a

for this bill. and i appreciate the comments that both of my colleagues have made pertaining to this bill. the post 9/11 g.i. bill i believe without question is the most generous educational benefit that our nation has ever passed and has already been mentioned over a million student veterans have benefited tremendously from that particular piece of legislation. and some of the benefits include covering health to cover costs of tuition, books, supplies, even housing. and yet in spite of all of this, we find that many of our veterans find themselves still having to take out student loans. and part of the reason for that is as has been discussed by my colleagues, many of these veterans as they're going to various schools, somewhere in the midst of the process, they discover that the credits they received from this school won't transfer over here and somewhere in the middle of that time frame, much of their g.i. bill has already been spent. they find themselves in an extremely difficult and awkward pos

bill was no dope. he knew what he knew. so eventually he was hoarding his eyepiece for his own collections and indeed he did sprinkle some in selling books including near her my god, miles gone by and buckley the right word. but there are so many of these that the thought of a necessary collection remained valid over the years. along comes 2014, and along comes rosen. then i would like to do a collection of bills eulogies, remembrances, obituaries and are eyepiece. what do you think him it was like asking me if i wanted a bag of peanut m&ms. of course i said. he oversees all things literary. the good people also agreed, and here now we have a wonderful book. it still looms very large. the song asks where have you gone and likewise, the conservative america asks the same amount. there is a longing. coming up next is a conversation about bill buckley a man of prose and who wrote history person by person for his particular talent. it is not a conversation about politics or the game up if he werof if hewere alive today whae say

bill: you do? a lot of this transition phase deals with running down the trap doors to figure out what could be lying in the road before you. thank you, much, to both of you. juan, mercy me, thank you. love the nicknames, don't you? martha: i do. keeping jobs here in the united states is one of the big central focuses for donald trump. a big campaign problem is of course. now he is taking credit for keeping a ford plant here in the united states. big news that broke last evening. we'll talk about with charles payne. first, does this moment ring a bell from the campaign trail? >> it's disgraceful, what's going to happen is ford just announced they're doubling down. they will build much more in mexico. we can't allow it to happen anymore. we're not going to allow it to happen anymore. this is my retirement. retiring retired tires. and i never get tired of it. are you entirely prepared to retire? plan your never tiring retiring retired tires retirement with e*trade. i'm in vests and as a vested invest

you have a bill for $27,000 for water. what kind of bill is that. something happen i don't know about next >> a $27,000 water bill. she trusted she could call the water department and at least get an explanation.>> that i could get one person to work directly with me to see what and see if the water company could resolve it. >> instead he got bounced around.>> to all different types of customer service reps, supervisors. >> for two years. >> so she finally sued in court the water department agreed to settle the case that it's taken a toll. >> my blood pressure went up and it's still up a little bit. it's the way that you treated. >> so just how rudely our customers treated? we found tape recordings revealing employees providing inaccurate billing, hanging up and repeatedly interrupting customers who helped pay more than $3 million a year in salaries for squandering of 94 customer service reps. we found others reading at desk , using cell phones for personal calls, even making inappropriate sexual advances and one customer service representative was

bill and i decided to write a big sweeping imil, one that would -- bill, one that would tackle as many problems as we could all at once. we had a head start because our friend in the house of representatives, representative ted murphy, had already introduced a comprehensive bill. we introduced our own version of tim murphy's bill, the mental health reform act. today about 16 months after introduction, the house is going to pass this bill as a major component of the cures package, as senator alexander said. my hope is that we're going to have a big bipartisan vote here sometimes very soon. senator cassidy and i will be the first to admit it doesn't come close to solving all of the problems that people with mental illness confront. most importantly, it doesn't include new medicaid or medicare money to address some of these huge shortages that patients and families face. but it does require insurance companies to stop discriminating against people with mental illness by rejecting claims for mental health at a rate that is much higher than they do for physical health. this strengthening of

some bill that same way, others discount and others -- >> a lot of discrepancy. is there anything people or we can do before we have a procedure to make sure we're not surprise >>hat's tkeou have to do your rearch,ou have to spend the tme before yohave the procedure. compar hospitals. understand what your benefits will pay d after the procedure as karen meioned, don't just pay the bill, always get the itemized list of charges. volunteers in our call for of cons?umers,have helped a lot ashaory, i aays takes work. storm tea 4 coverageow a more evidenceat t t holidays are very nearly o hartfd we go weekend, meaning heat. that's gone we are going to be around average temperatures rain milwaukee, 42 on thanksgiving day with mostly clound fo your shopping convenience, maybe light rain and snow mix. if you're tveling tomorrow across the midwest, make it a in northern wisconsin there's snow there, rain in sthern wisconsin, cooler temperatures across minnesota with snow, not much going on in lower michigan on thanksgiving dashgs l of cloudsnd the mospart. we'll start see

and so many other bills. i'm proud to be a cosponsor with a number of other senators on the american energy and conservation act, which will be taken up here in a few minutes. and i just want to echo what senator murkowski said about this bill. it's really a commonsense bill. we already have revenue sharing for onshore oil and gas production, so it only makes sense, really, it's only fair, as she noted very articulately that the states closest to the impacts of o.c.s. drilling also receive their fair share of revenues from resource extraction off their coasts. but again, as senator murkowski mentioned, this is not going to open up development where states don't want it. it's just providing the fair share to the communities that bear some of the impact of development in the states that do want it, like my state. so that's what this is about. and i'm hoping that all of my colleagues will vote favorably for this very important bill. and, you know, senator murkowski also talked about this bill does not open new a

i was thinking the $20 bill is the most counterfeited bill in the u.s., and the world actually. so i was kind of thinking, how do we kind of look at harriet tubman in that light as far as it's potential to be counterfeited and could someone speak to what that might mean or the significance of that in particular. >> i think that's ironic. in two ways. one most bills are counterfeited in some way. and if i think about it symbolically i think about how she went back and forth and helped people become free. so i think it's ironic that that might happen with her bill. may not really respond to your answer but for me that doesn't take away the impact of having her on it. and that's just my simple response to that. >> i feel the same way. i feel like she should be on it and we can't help but the money is going to be falsely replicated throughout the country and throughout the world. it's unfortunate that it would happen undoubtedly it probably will. >> yes. >> good morning, again. thank you for a really incredible panel. i'm a professor of african american studies. the question is for

my bill would do that. that aside the question, everybody talks about trying to help them pay it, you talk about price. prices come down with competition. president obama has had a war on private colleges. we have many private colleges in kentucky, and they tell me that the war on them is difficult. we are suing them every day, putting new roadblocks. they put roadblocks in the way a private schools but they do not put in the way of private schools. we're closing them straight down. someone in the administration retard and bought one of the universities after they drove the price down to almost nothing, so they are making money off their war on private colleges. we have a lot of private colleges in kentucky. that is part of the answer, having more colleges to drive the prices down. mr. goodman: if you are asked we had a response from you on both of those. steve, for the incumbent, what happened you a compass in the past six years that you would like to come if we elected you, and for you, mayor gray, what c

the bill ultimately failed. one provision would have allowed anyone with a permit to carry a gun to skip an buy a gun. but that would not have removed all background checks. gun buyers would still have faced a background check to get a permit to carry, and licensed sellers would have been required to run one as well. "rizer voted against the minimum wage" in 2015, a bill to raise iowa's minimum wage stalled in the state house. rizer and republicans voted to block a move to suspend rules, barring the bill from coming to a vote. "rizer voted to divert money from public schools and corporations that run for- profit virtual schools." iowa law bans online public schools with two exceptions, cam schools in western iowa and clayton ridge schools. both districts hire outside companies to run the online programs. in 2015, rizer voted to extend those exemptions. but those exemptions only allow the districts to run online schools. they do not direct funding for it. overall, the ad is based on of those bills, which is why o

bill clinton m. barack obama the only way they can be elected in the wake of the reagan revolution to believe in family and faith and the flag. they have tried very hard not to get upstaged on the issues of patriotism or questions of faith and on family with barack obama they tried and it was the great tragedy for the bill clinton ministrations so it is about values and family and the weaknesses with women. that commitment to space is important we 101 negative we tend to talk about the '60s hillary clinton thought that critique. compared to the '70s she was that good girl from illinois. but for her, and they did not want to jettison those families senate we're still fighting about the '60s even with the selection. trump and clinton they fight over who was a baby boomer. george w. bush mitt romney donald trump hillary clinton anti-vietnam. >> but ultimately what schools need most from the village are high standards. some people disagree even claiming voluntary standards permitting outsiders to see wha

bill: close enough. what did you hear with kellyanne conway and answers working through the discussion? >> kellyanne is doing a great job trying to master any impress there is nothing like we've seen before and entire washington elite expectation we should what is expected about this president-elect is misguided on every level. >> this is interesting, bill. this is just a challenging moment for kellyanne. she is someone in washington a long time. familiar with a lot of people they're looking at. the challenge really for the trump team right now balance between new face, people who are novices to the political world, balancing that, against older, experienced hands who will reassure those in washington who are worried that a trump administration will have a lot to learn, coming from behind with transition that really wasn't on its feet from day one. in our reporting at the federal lift, we've talk about the fact that trump's own transition team looking going to new jobs, ending leases. they were not antic

that highway bill increased spending by 10% over previous highway bills. it funded billions of dollars to states to fund highway projects. for example the interstate 81 project. i advocated that not only part of the bill but high priority corridor because of my advocacy. that put thousands of people to work right away. you've seen some fruits of the highway bill. a lot more is coming. with respect to water and water infrastructure i supported state clean water revolving fund and we should find ways to plus it up. increased spending in the highway bill and funds for clean water revolving fund were found by finding cuts in other programs. instead of borrow money find cuts and be official went the money and highway bill and clean water revolving fund. >> to follow up, can cuts go far enough? is there revenue need to be raised through bonding borrowing or raising taxes? katko: when $19 trillion in debt it should be absolute positive last resort. we're not at last resort yet. i think we should plus up the clean water revolving fund given to the state in block g

do you plan to sign that bill? >> that tax bill does not entirely meet the criteria i established. i think the congress should have added another $10 billion reduction in personal income taxes, including the increase of personal exemptions from $750 to $1,000. and congress could have done that if the budget committees of the congress and the congress as a whole had not increased the spending that i recommended in the budget. i'm sure you know in the resolutions passed by the congress, they have added about $17 billion in more spending by the congress over the budget that i recommended. so i would prefer in that tax bill to have an additional tax cut and a further limitation on federal spending. now this tax bill that hasn't reached the white house yet but is expected in a day or two, it's about 1,500 pages. it has some good provisions in it. it has left out some that i have recommended, unfortunately. on the other hand, when you have a bill of that magnitude, with those many provisions, a president has to set and decide if there's more good than bad and from the analysis that i've
