pence of the state of indiana received nine votes for vice president. vice president biden: for what purpose does the gentleman from massachusetts rise? mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, i object to the certificate of the state of alabama on the grounds that electoral votes were not under known circumstances regularly given and that the electors were not lawfully certified, especially given the confirmed in inlegal activities given by the country of russia and the widespread violations of the voting rights act that unlawfully suppressed thousands of votes in the state of alabama. vice president biden: title 569 united states code require that any objection be presented in writing, signed by both members of the house of representatives and both members of the house of representatives and the senator. it is the objection in writing and signed not only by the member of the house of representatives but also by a senator. mr. mcgovern: the objection is in writing signed by a member of the house of representatives but not yet by a member of the united states senate.

they look to indiana. this is very common. indiana is generally settled south to north. there are a lot of farmers in the same boat who are looking to indiana, a relatively newer area, to recoup their fortunes. things are not going well for them in kentucky. he is part of a larger wave. they're all going that way. land prices in indiana are cheaper than kentucky. the land is not quite as good, but the land prices are cheaper largely because indiana is such a difficult place to start a farm because of the backwoods and wilderness and difficulty in clearing it out. but you can get land cheaper. they have more stable land titles. this is why thomas packs up his family. dennis comes with them. we are not really sure. dennis is what is wondering sorts. he goes back and forth between the various hanks and lincoln relatives across the ohio river. he goes with them, he goes back, he comes back again. he comes to a place somewhere right in here. to this day we are not exactly sure where they crossed the ohio river. there was a good debate about that. i think the records are littl

i come from a very conservative part of indiana, northeast indiana. i was supported by a number of conservatives in the district around the country. conservative principles are important to me. i intend to be a conservative leader in the house of representatives advancing conservative principles just like i did at the indiana state house. >> describe your district. >> northeast indiana is -- the bulk of the constituents in northeast indiana are in the city of fort wayne, which is roughly about half of the district. and then the 11 counties that make up the rest of northeast indiana, rural communities like the one i come from make up the rest of the district. it's a district that has the most manufacturing jobs of any district in the country. so it's a very blue-collar working-class district. very conservative in their beliefs but also a district full of hard-working men and women who do what they can to provide for them families. that's the backgrounds i bring. my dad worked in a factory. my mom was a cook in a nursing home. we came from humble beginn

pence of the state of indiana received 15 votes for vice president. vice president biden: for what purpose does the gentleman rise? >> i object to the -- vice president biden: there is no debate in the joint session. the chair has previously ruled a signature from a senator is required. is there a signature from a senator. >> it is signed by myself -- vice president biden: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas rise. >> i object to the votes because of the massive voter -- vice president biden: there is no debate. there is no debate. the gentlewoman will suspend. as the chair has previously ruled a signature of a senator is required. the objection cannot be receive the clerk will continue to count. mr. brady. mr. brady: the certificate of the electoral vote of the state of north dakota appears to be regular in form and authentic, it appears therefrom that donald j. trump received three votes for president and michael r. pence of the state of indiana received three votes for vice president. senator blunt: the certificate of the electoral vote

pence of the state of indiana received 29 otes for vice president. vice president biden: for what purpose does the member rise? >> i rise an objection that the votes were cast by electors not lawfully certified because they violated florida's prohibition against dual -- vice president biden: the debate is out of order. section 15 and 17 of the title 3 of the united states code require any objection be presented in writing, signed by both members of the house of representatives -- both a member of the house of representatives and a senator. is the objection in writing and signed not only by the member of the house of representatives but also by a senator? >> it is in writing, mr. president. vice president biden: is it signed of a senator? >> not of yet. vice president biden: in that case the objection cannot be entertained. senator klobuchar. mr. r klobuchar: president, the certificate of the electoral vote of the state georgia seems to be in regular form and authentic and it appears therefrom that donald j. trump of the state of new york received 16

i even see the mayor of carmel, indiana. with a good seat. my friend jim, i know that going to the drugstore grocery store is an exercise in public service often times. mayors are on the front lines of public service. to some extent sore governors. chances are constituents. you and tell you about a pothole in front of their house. or maybe the snow that did not get plowed. our job as mayors of my job when i served served as a governors to stop, listen, to bring a servant's attitude and do all you can in the immediate moment to address the issue. that is what is what you as mayors to everyday and i want you to know that your vice president-elect in your president-elect understand that. things change when you become vice president-elect. just the other day i got a phone call from my wife, i was on my way back to a house house that we rented in the washington, d.c. area preparing for the inauguration and karen called and said that we are out of ice cream. [laughter] did you hear about the sun? sabine 12 or 13 me and 12 or 13 other cars pull over

i concede that they are of caramel indiana here with a pretty good seat. my friend jim brainard and going to the drugstore the grocery store is an exercise in public service oftentimes. mayors are on the frontline of public service and to a large extent so our governors. constituents you and tell you about a pothole in front of their house or the snow that didn't get plowed. .. >> i was back to a house that i rented in the washington d.c. area area care called and said we're out of ice cream. [laughter] did you hear about this one? so me and 12 and 13 other cars pulled over at safeway. [laughter] i dashed in, picked up a couple couple of gallons of ice cream for my family. it became a national news story. i get the feeling i'm going to miss those days when only ten people stop me at the supermarket to talk about issues. it truly assembly. all kidding aside, this grandson of an irish immigrant finds it difficult to express to you this week the humbling privilege that i my family feel. this week is really a celebration. it's it's a celebration of the america

he has recently served as governor of i governor indiana. our guest understands greatly the level of cooperation needed between mayor answers states and federal government to help foster economic opportunity growth and opportunity for all. a month ago, as i mentioned, our leadership team had the opportunity to discuss some keyish ice with vice president-elect pence and the moment we mentioned 300 mayors would be here in the capitol for this meeting, he said, i will be there. as far as we can remember, this is the first time we have ever had a vice president-elect attend the winter meeting prior to the inauguration. so it is my great honor and privilege to welcome to the united states conference of mayors, 850th winter meeting, vice president-elect mike pence. [ applause ] >> thank you so much. thank you for that wonderful introduction. mayor corn et. greetings to all of the distinguished mayors. welcome to washington, d.c. it is a city that president onf. kennedy combines southern efish ens efish ens efficiency with northern charm. it was a

and ended up with indiana, which got approval for something called healthy indiana 2.0 which was essentially a series of health savings accounts run through the medicaid program and which for the first time in i believe the program's history, the beneficiary financial contribution, in the form of a contribution hsa that was binding. as in failure to pay would have actual repercussions. and those repercussions could include losing medicaid coverage for some period of time. it's never really been done before in medicaid. so that's kind of where we've got about 31 of the states who have done the expansion up until now and the rest have not. which kind of leads us into what's next. we are having a lot of conversations around, well, what is the prospect for expansion look like in the next administration. and as people were thinking about well, what would a clinton administration do to sweeten the pot to get the rest of the state to do the expansion coverage? how flexible would they be? what would that look like? now we're in a very, very different scenario. now there are two major conversations t

you can go from ohio to indiana, from indiana to ohio, that is fine. you have 50 great wonderful governors to negotiate with. it is not like we are taking away competition. but if you go to another country and you decide you want to close and get rid of 5000 people, i tell you united technologies was an example with carrier and i got involved two years after they announced. terrificchnologies was as they brought back many of those jobs. if that happens we are going to be opposing a very -- imposing a very major border tax on the product, you think is fair. a company that wants to fire all of its people in the united states and build some factories someplace else and thinks that product is going to roll across the border into the united states, that is not going to happen. they will have a substantial border tax. thatsome people would say is not free trade, but we don't have free trade now because we are the only one that makes it easy to come into the country. if you look at china, if you look at the many other countries, many other countries, they can

clearly, the healthy indiana plan was able to work for indiana patients. this is the sort of quality innovation that states can devise if we give them the power. now, revising the current funding structure would also encourage states to follow indiana's example and develop innovative medicaid programs to increase the efficiency in which the program spends money. again, that's federal taxpayer money. that's our money. that's -- anybody watching right now, it's our money. we want to encourage states to be efficient as how they spend this. there should be greater flexibility to design the medicaid program to better meet the needs of state residents. states will be given the latitude to develop various coverage options and specialize delivery. this is why i developed the medicaid accountability and care act. it reforms the flawed financing of medicaid by giving each state a set amount according to how many people each state has enrolled in the different categories that each state's medicaid program treats. that's a mouthful. but it's basically exactly like tht

i think he should be committed to indiana boy school. >> well, i would agree that i think indiana boy school can address a lot of the issues that kenneth is facing. i know this much, if he were in the adult system, he would not be able to receive the treatment and the rehabilitation and the services that the juvenile court is designed to provide to children like kenneth and like kentrell. the state and the taxpayers are going to pay whether we send them to the department of correction or we send them to placement. maybe we won't get the bang for the buck as you've described it, but i'm going to still put my faith in the juvenile court system in that i think we can do and do a better job with kids than the adult system can do, and going to jail is going to do for him. i would love nothing more than to send both boys to you home. i think you as a mom, why you're crying your heart out back there, knows that's not the right thing right now. kenneth is on the verge. he's on the verge of doing something either really horrible in his life and taking him away from you forever or he's on the v

if you can go from ohio to indiana or indiana to ohio, that's fine. you have 50 great wonderful governors to negotiate with. it's not like we are taking away competition, but if you go to another country and decide you are going to close and get rid --2000 people or 5000 people united technologies was an example, a carrier. i got involved two years after they announced. it's tough, but united technologies was terrific, and they brought back many of those jobs, but if that happens, we will be imposing a very major border tax on the product when it comes in, which i think is which is fair. a company that wants to fire all of its people in the united states and build factories some place else and thinks that product will just flow across the border into the united states, that is not going to happen. they are going to have substantial border taxes. people would say that is not free trade, but we don't are free trade because we the only one that makes it easier to come into the country. if you look at china, if you --k at many other countries i don't have

at the time, the indiana territory covered not just indiana but illinois, michigan. lots of territory. then another old family friend, thomas jefferson, became president, and he had the louisiana purchase, which you may have heard of. he added that to the indiana territory and wrote harrison, urging him to buy more land from the indians to build up u.s. ownership in the indiana territory. brian: it was strange reading your book because i grew up on a street called shawnee avenue in a town that had a tecumseh middle school in an area that had harrison high school. [laughter] brian: we were five minutes away from battleground, indiana. how does that all relate to william henry harrison? ronald: this is how he became famous. he had a run in with tecumseh because tecumseh was trying to get the indians not to sell their land to harrison. he came to harrison's home during the discussion, and he drew his tomahawk, harrison drew his sword, and they parted ways. so, tecumseh and his brother set up a town near lafayette called prophetsville. they were causing trouble, so harri

if you can go from ohio to indiana or from indiana to ohio, that's fine. so you have 50 great wonderful governors to negotiate with. it's not like we're taking away competition. but if you go to another country and you decide that you're going to close and get rid of 2,000 people or 5,000 people, i tell you united technologies was an example, and i got involved two years after they announced. in all fairness, united technologies was terrific. they brought back many of those jobs. but if that happens, we're going to be imposing a very major border tax on the product when it comes in. which i think is fair. which is fair. a company that wants to fire all its people in the united states and build some factories someplace else and thinks that that product will just flow across the border into the united states, that's not going to happen. they are going to have a tax, border tax. substantial border tax. now, some people would say that's not free trade, we don't have free trade now. we're the only one that makes it easy to come into the country. if you look at

indiana fresh off a conference win over illinois. indiana is always a tough opponent. in fact, hoosiers were ranked 25th in the last poll but they lost three of the last four including a 96-80 loss to illinois. maryland hopes to capitalize on that not overlooking a struggling indiana team. >> they are really good. they play at a pace we haven't seen. we got to adjust they are good. they are a heck of a team. their backs are against the wall a little bit. like ours was going to michigan. so we expect to get their best effort. robert: not sure if this comes as a surprise but clemson beat alabama last night for the national title. they arrived back if greenville, south carolina, earlier today. believe this. that game will go down in history as one of the best national title games ever. it came down to the final play. clemson trailing by three. deshaun watson making one of the easiest passes he will make in his life. renfroe for the game winner. it's the second national tile in program history. >> we knew what it took. we knew we'd face adversity and we had to overcome it.

these folks are also from indiana, culver, indiana. it's a college prep boarding school in culver indiana. this black horse troop has been around since 1897. different horses, i would have to assume. >> i would think so. and we also have waiting to see who's walking been inin usually in a parades there are units. tical elements going >> oh my goodness. >> because thedey to. >> we all know just what you're talking about. no need to i lab rate. >> tmi. >> the vice president has got to be very proud and his home state has got to be very proud of him. this is the columbus north high school marching band from columbus, indiana. guess what? this is mike pence's own high school. he graduated in 1977. according to his high school yearbook, he was president of the assembly and one speaker of the year. premonition of things to come, i guess. these folks raised more than and their mascot, the bulldogs. what's next here? >> going along with that, in 1993, bill clinton was the preside president, and they had in the stands the leader of the band ask

i never lived in indiana prior to being incarcerated. i was here for two days before i caught my case. i originally ended up in kentucky, but i crossed the state line looking for a walmart and i ended up in indiana. >> wright might have been looking for a walmart, but his trip to indiana involved more than shopping. >> i was pimping on my girlfriend -- well, you can call her a girlfriend, female companion, whatever. yeah, i was pimping. so that's what i was doing from state to state, for income. i've got good communication skills. communication is my occupation. i'm talkative, i meet different people. believe it or not, a lot of people are looking to have a good time. my co-defendant, you know, was a pretty young lady and basically, you know, sells herself. sex is a good industry. >> reporter: wright's troubles began when he and his female companion met a potential john at their hotel. it was christmas eve. >> we went back to his home, spent time there. on the way back to the hotel, things got heated and out of control, and, you know, sh

you know, back in indiana, we have a saying, when you see a box turtle on a fence post, one thing you know for sure, he had help getting there. [laughter] mike pence: and there is too many people in this room who know this box turtle got on this particular fence post with a lot of help from you, your support, and your prayers and your friendship is a great source of encouragement to me to this very day. and i want to thank you for each one of you, for the encouragement over the years. it was just a few years ago i was sitting in this same audience serving in congress on behalf of the good people of indiana's sixth congressional district. and so i know the burden of public service in the congress. i know the long hours, the travel, and days and sometimes even weeks away from loved ones. i want to tell you, on behalf of the president of the united states and on behalf of the american people, we appreciate your commitment and your hard work, and even more, even more, i know you won't mind me saying, we appreciate the sacrifices that your families make every day that permit you to serve t

consultant to indiana at the did develop that and craft some of those ideas for indiana. what do you say to critics who medicaid not fair that enrollees can't get access to the full amount of services unless they pay a premium? anybody who doesn't know that emergency room services have been badly abused hasn't been paying attention to the evidence. it is not a penalty to say to people at some point you will have to pay a little bit. as it operated in asked very little of the participants. it does give them the ability to make their own decisions. that let anyone tell you just because someone is low income they cannot make smart consumerist decisions. should i get a generic drug instead of the most expensive prescription ready? should i get a second opinion before undertaking that procedure? should i go to the emergency room if it is not really an emergency? until we get all of us making those decisions which we are entitled to as a matter of human dignity, you will not see control of costs in health care. vonnie: if it is such a party, why hasn't the gop gotten a replacem

messer of indiana. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 22, the gentleman from indiana and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from indiana. mr. messer: thank you, mr. chair. i want to thank the gentleman from virginia for his help on this amendment as well. it's an amendment designed to take an already very good bill and make it just a little better. you know, a good friend of mine, former indiana governor mitch daniels, used to say, you'd be amazed how much government you'll never miss. when talking about reducing the size of government bureaucracy. so much of government's excess is created by unelected officials who yield enormous influence over our everyday lives. last year federal agencies issued 18 rules and regular lyings for every one law that passed congress. 53 t's a grand total of 3,8 regulations in 2016 alone. in 2015, federal regulations cost the american economy nearly $1.9 trillion. t, trillion dollars in lost growth and productivity. thi

an inmate we met at indiana state prison. he was one of a handful of inmates allowed to use a personal camera supplied by our crew used to record intimate thoughts in the privacy of his cell. he even shared some thoughts about the crew, themselves. >> you got susan, you got alex in wonderland, and all those other guys, man, all their names, right, but they're just so cool, man, these dudes are super. and they're all from california. can you believe that? >> when we first started working with darren bailey, we heard he had this very violent past. that he was not only violent on the streets, but once he got into prison, had a very erratic and impulsive and violent nature. so when we encountered him, he was already in a process of going through therapy and trying to make himself a better inmate. >> i have never given myself a chance. and because i'm giving myself a chance to do better for myself, i have a supporting cast that are saying, yeah, we believe in you. yeah, he's showing progress. yeah, he's no longer the person that h

and like i said, graduated 2010, worked in southern indiana. my first job out of college covered crime and government there, and then moved to virginia in 2012 and covered defense contracting, tourism, so what is so forth. and after that, i finally moved to indianapolis, and it was my first time covering anything related to technology. i don't have any background in tech, didn't get a degree in tech but i knew had to talk to people and tell stories this is really what attracted me to the field, because of the promise in andperils -- the promise the perils as this whole conference is about. -- i kind ofcover look at it in two ways. i cover not only i guess technology, but also the business of software. businesses run their businesses better whether it's marketing or procurement. so i cover all of that but also the business of technology in terms of how do you start a tech company, how do do you raise money for it, and ultimately how do you chart a path for a successful exit. that's about it. >> natalie? >> i'm natalie diblasio with "usa today."

theenator graham told me in in hallway, mike pence sounds like indiana, looks like indiana, and we're fine with that. he's a mainstream republican, a conservative, and as this populace outsider takes the oval office chair, mike pence reassures his own party of elements of republicanism. on a person to keep an eye for sure. great conversation, thank you, guys. good way to start the year. everyone, for watching. our conversation continues online on the "washington week" where we'll tell you about eye-opening intelligence tucked into the back of that unclassified report released this afternoon. you can find that at pbs.org/washingtonweek. online, find're out about the office of ethics and why lawmakers wanted to gut that operation earlier this week. i'm ed o'keefe. thanks for tuning in. have a great weekend >> funding for weeksan joaquin provided by -- additionaltute: boeing, provided by foundation, donating all profits profits frm toman's own food products charity. the ethics and excellence in journalism foundation, the ford foundation, koo and patricia yeun, committed to bridging cultu

this is an ongoing conversation between the governor of indiana and carrier. and president elect from inserted himself into it. trumpesident elect inserted himself into it. on thanks giving day, he sent out a tweet saying i'm working hard for the murder people to keep these jobs in indiana, and weeks later, carrier announced that it was keeping its plant. and that's a powerful thing. but the question is is that the tweets that are having this impact, was a careful timing on behalf of the president-elect inserting himself in negotiations that possibly were going to work out all along. i will say there's no doubt it's a powerful thing. people who might never have known the carrier was going to move that plant in the first place, now it's become a household name. host: issie lapowsky, respond to this tweet. he said the following. the only entities that have a problem with his tweeting on the media gatekeepers. guest: i would say i see what he issaying, that the media used to controlling the narrative and now it is all up to donald trump. every day, sean spicer ho

like gary, indiana, where blue—collar jobs have places like gary, indiana, where blue—collarjobs have gone, a lot of suffering and loss of income, and both trump and pence really want to speak to this base, dubbed the? they do, but the blame and scapegoating thatis do, but the blame and scapegoating that is going on, other countries and businesses that invest abroad —— they really want to speak to this base, don't they? it is all about automation. he did not suggest reversing technology in this inaugural speech and unless he can square that circle there is going to bea square that circle there is going to be a real problem. as the last gentleman said, he has set the bar extraordinarily high for what he is trying to achieve, and there could bea trying to achieve, and there could be a really huge fall, nemesis follows hubris, generally, in politics, and he is setting up his voters to be extraordinarily disappointed. we will continue on the theme of business and money. donald trump is one of the wealthiest presidents to enter the white house, with far—reaching business ties that ha

i would like to read some statistics on how the affordable care act worked in indiana. the uninsured rate has fallen by 35%. hoosiers gaining coverage. 224,000 hoosiers have health insurance today because indiana expanded medicaid coverage under the affordable care act. so. 50,000 young adults has benefited from the provision that allows children to stay on their parents plans until age 26. 139,000 hoosiers received tax credits averaging $259 a month to get them covered through healthcare.gov. what the president-elect and vice president and republicans are proposing, all of that progress will evaporate. what is the vice president-elect going to tell all of those people? what is he going to offer? so far, nothing. today, veryere simply to warn the american people that the republicans plan to cut medicare, medicaid, and the aca will make america sick again. democrats will fight them every turn to prevent them from happening. site.w the unity on our leave and gained a republican vote, so we are up to 49. we are only two back away and who knows what will happen. instead of

we're in the middle of measuring what is happening in indiana. we know indiana expanded coverage. we need to measure what happened in that waiver. but i think it is a reflection of the system today. in important flexibility was reflected in the work we did with the governor of indiana. in the work we did with alaska. in the work we have just done with the governor of arkansas in a republican governor who followed a democrat and wanted changes to the way the expansion occurred in arkansas in that was approved in december and as i mentioned we are going through with another waiver today in washington state. so i think what we need to do is work and have the very broke -- and have the very real conversation. the governor of north carolina, the new governor, has now said and has put in that he would like to try and expand medicaid for them. hundreds of thousands of people. again, it is moving his conversations to substance, measurement, reality. i am glad that we did the medicaid expansion in indiana. i want to measure it. we see more people getting coverage. look, when governor edwar
