mr. burns: no. there has always been a sense in china historically, that its region revolves around china, the imperial kingdom. and that they ought to be surrounded by deferential players. that is different from aspiring to a global hegemonic role. china has benefited from the kind of order that the united states led the way in shaping, so that there are economic opportunities for china, a sense of security across asia. there is nothing inevitable about a collision between the united states and china, but it will be a tricky relationship to manage. charlie: people are writing books that it may be inevitable. mr. burns: history is full of collisions between rising powers and established ones. charlie: that is the rule, rather than the exception. mr. burns: that is the challenge for state craft and leadership, to manage complicated relationships right that. charlie: and rising powers are inevitably going to be in conflict with established powers. mr. burns: there are going to be collisions, but what

mr. burns: right. i thought it was important to say, i don't have information but when candidate trump did encourage the russian government to find more of secretary clinton's emails, i thought that was an irresponsible statement. senator warner: anyone else want to comment? you're taking a safe, diplomatic effort, all of you, i appreciate that. i imagine i would get the same re-- give the same response because i again share very much ambassador burns your comments earlier that the lack of interest shown by the president of even acknowledging this threat or taking this threat, urging his administration to take this threat seriously and lay out a coordinated, whole-government approach to what will be a threat in 217, 2018, i would argue that putin and his cronies had a pretty darn good rate of return on the number of rubles invested in their activities to kind of take n our election system. mr. sarts, i commend you for your good work in the reports you have done on the robot trolling and how russians ar

[laughter] >> mr. burns the clerk will substitute the amendment. i'll consider it read and the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. i appreciate the gentlemen's interest in making sure we have transparency in government. my amendment would broaden the scope of transparency that the gentlemen's amendment seeks but does not achieve because it is exclusively focused on the president and his immediate family. my substitute amendment requires the department of defense to provide report at the time of the president's budget request on both direct and indirect travel costs incurred to support the president, the vice president and all members of the president's cabinet. by reporting, congress can exercise appropriate oversight rather than targeting the legitimacy of the presidents lifestyle. further the amendment is very onerous, forcing the department to report congress which which is every 90 days. my amendment will support the full transparency while this amendment is not. i yield back. >> he is recognized on the substitute amendment.

burns, for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. burns: i thank the gentleman for yielding, i'm proud to rise in support of this strong, bipartisan legislation. improving career and technical education programs is the most important thing congress can do to help close the skills gap, combat poverty, and help put americans back to work. studies clearly show that there are unfilled, high-wage jobs out there that remain open because people lack the skills to fill the jobs. that's where c.t.e. comes in. when i was chancellor of alabama's two-year college system i saw firsthand how important these programs are. they work like magic, taking an untrained worker and getting him the skill he is needs to fill an unfilled job. it's a win-win for everyone. i'm prud to be an original co-sponsor of this legislation. i encourage my colleagues to join me in supporting this reform oriented bill that heps bill the 1st century work force and -- work force and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: mr. thompson reserves. the gentleman from illinois. mr

about it." ( laughter ) so for damage control yesterday, the white house sent out trump attorney and mr. burns's lawyer from "the simpsons," jay sekulow. ( applause ) ( piano riff ) jay sekulow was on all the sunday shows -- cbs, cnn, nbc, fox news, "animal planet," and "the handmaid's tale." ( laughter ) so powerful. such a powerful portrayal. and had one clear message -- >> the fact of the matter is the president has not been and is not under investigation. the president is not under investigation. the president has not been and is not under investigation. >> stephen: okay, clear as a bell. the president absolutely, positively is not being investigated by the department of justice. i'm sorry, you wanted to add something. >> he's being investigated by the department of justice. >> stephen: sekuloooowwww!!! ( cheers and applause ) oh! you had one job!! you had one job!! say he's not under investigation. but you had to shoot your mouth off on tv. you're the president trump of trying to keep president trump president, and chris wallace noticed. >> first of all, you've now said that he is

i know my time is up, mr. chairman. ambassador burns, i'm a fan of yours. i just heard one word that concerned me with respect to the relationship of government and the technology companies. you probably didn't mean it, you talked about integrating the companies and the government. i think what you are meaning was better communication between the government and the companies. and i just wanted to make that point. thank you, mr. chairman. if you would like to respond. ambassador burns: very quickly. thank you. i meant that there should be communication not there be formally integrative efforts, thank you. chairman burr: senator collins. senator collins: ambassador burns, it's good to see you. thank you for joining this panel this morning. i'm struck as i listen to the the mony of testimony of all the witnesses that the approach that was used in montenegro, france, and germany, has been much more proactive. it's bolder, it exposes the falsehoods that are out there. and it is a far more visible effort. ambassador, you were somewhat critical of president obama,

. >> mr. ash burn, this the agreement as you understand it? mr. ashburn, is this the agreement that you understand? >> yeah. >> i'm sorry? >> yeah. >> i can't hear you, mr. ashburn. can you speak up, please? >> yes. >> as aaron struggles to speak, his mother makes her opinion clear. >> the record will note that his mother has left the room. mr. ashburn, do you have some reluctance to enter into this agreement? is there a reason why you're refusing to respond? >> how would you feel if your mother walked out on you? >> sorry, sir? >> how would you feel if your mother walked out on you? >> aaron's refusal or inability to speak forces the judge to decide for him. >> we'll reconvene on december 18th at 9:00. be prepared to go forward with the waiver. i won't accept any agreements. >> the judge's decision eliminates aaron's chance at a plea bargain. his next court appearance will be a waiver hearing where the state will make a case for handing aaron over to the adult system. still, that's not the main thing on aaron's mind. >> she walked out on me. she

filkins: burn everything. he was giving an interview to a marine, to an official historian, and he was talking about counterinsurgency. there he is, quoting, you know, from angela's ashes, a story about ireland. and south africa, desmond tutu. he is all over the place. that is what is so interesting about him, because he is so well read. and everybody that i who knew him said, i wish you could see his library. charlie: more books than any general that ever served in america. [laughter] mr. filkins: yes. this is a deeply educated secretary of defense. charlie: having been with the guy, having listened to his quotes, having had many conversations with him, what influence is he going to have? mr. filkins: a lot. i mean, a lot. charlie: how will america be -- his defense posture and place be different, because he is our secretary of defense? mr. filkins: he is very aggressive. he is a general. i think he reaches for his gun, and i think that is -- if you talk to people around him, they will say "what we are doing

. >> the gentleman from alabama, mr. burns is recognized. >> the task force report called for 52 small surface combatants and that report has not been amended by the navy. the navy clearly has stated through that report, and it needs these ships. it was before the sub committee in april and talked about how he is presently using those ships in the south china sea, where it fulfills a very important part of the mission. now why produce these at three -- at a level of three per year? we had admiral nagley before the subcommittee a couple of months ago and he said funding three lcs ships a year is critical to maintaining cost and schedule efficiency. those were his words and lcs is on budget and below the cost cap. both shipyards are efficiently produced in the ship. the two shipyards cannot continue without funding three ships a year. that's also the navy's conclusion. three ships not only maintains a healthy industrial base because without three ships, the skilled workforce will suffer a 10% to 40% layoff, result in an ex

do you agree with what mr. watts drew his conclusion, that at least inadvertently candidate trump was actually advancing the goals of the russian propaganda efforts? i'd like to hear any of your comments of that, starting with you and mr. burns. >> senator, just two quick points. first i don't have any independent knowledge about the trump campaign working with -- >> i'm not asking that. i'm just asking whether his comments about elections being rigged, calling on wikileaks, it appeared and mr. watts drew the on collusion that at least inadvertently then candidate trump was then aligned with some of russia's propaganda efforts trying to sew the same kind of chaos and questioning of our democratic process. >> i thought it was just as important to say i don't have information. but when candidate trump did encourage the russian government to find more of secretary clinton's e-mails, i thought that was an irresponsible statement. >> anybody else want to comment? you're taking a safe diplomatic effort, all of you. i

. >> mr. burns. >> thank you mr. chairman, thank you for being patience with us. if you don't mind i would like to go back to the questions that we have earlier of the size of our fleet. our president, our commander in chief, says he knows we need 350 ships so we know where we want to go. the congressional budget office gave us an is estimate to build0 navy ships, general, let me start with you, do you agree in general with cbo analysis is what more of what we need to spend per year on ships building. >> i have seen that study and it looks about right based on my experience. >> looking at this year's budget after you heard the questioning from chairman wittman, we know that we are not going in that direction with proposed budget for 2018. at what point in your estimation general are we going to get to the point where we are pointing that extra $5 billion to get to the size of fleet we are trying to get to. >> no chairman, thank you for asking that question. my characterization of 18 is the second year in a row and we begin to turn around a trend that was really se

it burns up so much political capital he could have used el wer and elsewhere. is mr. trump ready to do the same >> the real fix for the economy is tax reform which has not been touched since the reagan administration and infrastructure investment. you can't get to those until you deal with health care. we put the flag up say let's fix t move on, get to tax reform and then infrastructure. i think we have a great way of moving the economy forward >> the ambitions of mr. ryan and other republicans, the ambition of the white house, they don't seem aligned at the moment >> right it isn't to the outside observer. but somebody sooner or later will have to step in and say done let's move on, change the language, get some people to fix this this is a tough back drop for you, you pulled your product from 2018. let's talk about what you are doing at the moment. when i put in aetna, i put in news flow, you are upsetting a lot of people in hartford as well you're moving hq out of hartford, connecticut? >> we are. we have not told anybody where yet. but it will be an investment in

mrs. thornton wrote about it in her diary. thanks to missus thorton's diary we know the two women stood here , and watched washington burn. martha peter was pregnant with britannia at the time. britannia would be born about four months later after this event. now if we can look at the dining table, presently it is focused with a number of objects that thomas and martha peter purchased at the 1802 mount vernon sale. you see a number of plates and other tableware have those stickers on them, mount vernon as well as the numbers from the 1911 inventory. the plates, the plateau, the glassware, all of these are pieces that came for mount vernon and were used at tudor place by the peter family. after britannia's death in 1911, her grandson purchased his siblings' share to own the home outright. he and his wife modernized the house in adding electricity, 1913-1914, telephones, and a steam radiator system. we can take a look in the office, which was a space that armistead peter junior and his son used as an office. the office is also a

a senior white house official said the president has not stopped burning towards mr. sessions. >>> president trump's tweeting for months has left his staff trying to keep pace with the boss. "wall street journal" reported aids organizations -- organized an official twitter intervention explaining certain kind of comments made on twitter would paint him into a corner. on may 7th the journal reported one major change under consideration would see the president's social media posts vetted by a team of lawyers to see if they needed to be curtailed. so the tweets don't go from the president's mind out to the universe. the importance of president's access to social media has divided his supporters. >> this obsession with covering everything on twitter and little -- >> that's his preferred method of communication with the american people. >> that's not true. >> i think social media for the president is extremely important. it gives him the ability to speak directly to the people without the bisz of the media filtering those communications. at this point he has over 100 plus

. >> pigs in a blanket, burn like bacon. >> all put mr. burgess up against sean hannity. he'll tear them up. i want you to talk to them whether their independent or whether they are republican. i want you to arguee with them and get in their face. >> the press always asked me don't i wish i were debating you? no, i wish i could take them behind the gym. >> i will fight every day until he is impeached. impeached 45. >> a lot of us thought the broncos going to be our saving grace. when he is about to nuke finland or something. she's going to walk into the bedroom and say daddy. [laughter] don't do it, daddy. >> it is a weird attention. it's a dangerous time for the first amendment and for the free press in this country in the same time, we are oddly influential with the guy that wants to kill us. >> how dare he say that? how dare he say the things he does? of course i want to punch him in the face. >> hannity: the psychotic viciousness, these threats of violence from the left, it needs to stop. i've been saying this for years and for all you left-wing clinton groups that al

mr. quinn: i will say this. ofas very much in favor congresswoman lack burns bill because it does things that are most important to at&t. one is that everybody has to live under the same rules. in a world where you are seeing is this almost collide, you follow the website companies, that may be how google and these others started. there are way more website companies today. they look a lot like us. google has a video product in the marketplace. it won't be long before they have their own aggregated bundle of content that is not historic looking. all of these companies should operate under the same rules. that has in one of our main contentions all along. it is because it does not matter. who isn't matter collecting it. at the end of the day if we have rules around location i should have the same roles that google has or that amazon has or that facebook has. blackbirds bill says that. they put all that regulation in the federal trade commission. we will have the same rules and be in the same regulatory environmen

and we identified mr. copes. >> and they found the back deck engulfed in flames on tuesday and they pounded on the door and woke up the adults and children living there and they ruled the fire arson right away after a gas can was found at the scene. >> police are hoping to hear from someone that knows where copes is or that he turn himself in. >> trish thank you. >>> well, there has been at least 10 battery thefts from jeeps recently in the spring garden section of philadelphia. randy fitzgerald says her battery was stolen a few weeks ago and old jeep models only have latches to on the hood making it easy to get the battery. >> my key would not work and i went to unlock the car and it still wouldn't start. went to walk away thinking my battery is dead we'll take the other car and realize the latches were open. >> we reached out to jeep about the issue and they had no comment and we did research of our own and they manufacture a hood lock for the wrangler it costs $163. >>> a new hotel is coming to chester.

speaker exhausted from their work in going into burning buildings to see people i said why do you come here with when you know is a difficult? because we are firefighters. that's what we are trying to do and that's why we serve the public the way we do. we need to have greater security for all of them the future. after properly fund our fire service is not just at a time of crisis. i welcome the fact there's a public inquiry going on into grenfell but can't we -- it's kind it to install sprinklers in all town blocks but with minimal safety services cannot -- so will the government make available emergency funds to restore sprinklers? the government should commit to public safety bill in the recommendations the 2013 inquiries and the fire at lacma house and removed her car and to install sprinklers and new school buildings. it could still do so and it would do so additional to any other recommendations that come from the grenfell fire inquiry. >> we have 116 and my constituency. the moment only eight would have sprinklers. it will cost 30 million pounds per sprinklers and all of them. w

one of the things i want to burns, whos that mr. was the former editor of the detroit news, one of the guiding partners with wayne state, he told me we have to create this program to get young minorities into the newspapers. i told him that i was not interested in running a remedial program for colored kids. we decided to do is adopting idea that we are going to get the best and brightest. we won to remove the stigma of the fact that journalists of color are less than white journalists. one of the things that always strived for is that i will know we have arrived when we can take a journalist of color -- black, brown, hispanic, what have you -- that journalists can screw up in the most royal way possible and that hailed as the next journalists of color because that is not the standard for our white colleagues. that program has produced some great journalists. is called the journalism institute for media diversity. it has produced great journalists and it's all about getting the opportunity to show what you can do and be the best you

brigham, who was caught in the fire and burned to senders. with the fire died outcome of the accounting occurred. at least six lives were lost. more than 2500 buildings were destroyed. property losses were conservatively estimated in 1852 at $10 million, which would be about 500 million dollars today. but sacramento almost immediately began rebuilding. even if the mountains of debris smoldered, and this was a characteristic of gold rush california -- fire was common, but rebuilding was just as common. these are photographs here at the top of sacramento after the fire, with intuitive months after the fire. these are buildings that have then rebuilt. even as the town was smoldering, new stores andl hotels and liveries and residences that spring to life, and by december 1852, just a month after the fire, sacramento was back in business. this was a pattern repeated throughout the age. the sacramento inferno was not the first and certainly not the igniting the region, and from the era's genesis, fire was a plague in gold rush california and a recu

easily you can burn your fingers. this is no game here. there is a need to set, to revoke this -- this agreement, to start new process. >> we travel to montenegro on the other side of the rugova mountains. at the interior ministry, we can see the border treaty. revisions are out of the question. mr. paunovic: the matter was done and dusted when the treaty was signed. in article 12, the foreign and interior ministers of both countries explicitly state that the treaty has been concluded in mutual accord. the treaty is a done deal. >> but the treaty does also guarantee that all kosovans will continue to enjoy free access to the fields and forests of the region. the dreshaj brothers don't believe this will be the case. the old wounds are open and mistrust of neighbors still active more than two decades after the balkan wars. michelle: should marijuana be legal? it's an issue being explored in a growing number of european countries. while the netherlands is known for its coffee shops and germany has recently legalized the drug for medicinal pur

did they -- mr. stiles: i ran across this at another time. the first time that harry truman in the 20th century makes a trip into kansas, his grandmother says, look for the spoons that bj hawkers stole. and he himself -- that the jayhawkers stall. and he himself admires jesse james. >> i heard they were part of that interest group. mr. stiles: they were in jackson county, i believe. that is certainly where he was from personally. they might have been uprooted. the depopulation did not last long because it was such a radical policy, the union decided, ok, you got to let them go back. if they had kept them out, it might have tamped down the guerrilla warfare. i will take the next question behind a cause you have been waiting longer. >> it struck me as this was almost genocidal in intense. think that's an accurate way of describing guerrilla warfare, at least semi-genocidal? mr. stiles: genocide is tough. that usually means targeting a specific group for extermination. we have the term ethnic cleansing and i use the term political cleansing. the

that is why i asked his mrs. a 12—year—old boy? as well as the smoke and the smell of burning, numb shock and tension hangs over this area. in the 21st century, in a country with some of the strictest fire regulations in the world, a desperate tragedy like this just should not happen. what floor are you on?! huh?! seven, yeah? well into the morning, the crowds watching the horror unfold in front of them reported seeing people still trapped in the block. i saw somebody there. waving, in white. in a white shirt? yeah, a white shirt, yeah. a man was eventually brought out by the emergency services at noon. this off—duty nurse helped tend to some of the injured rescued from the building. i've seen some things, but today... i can't even describe it. there's mothers that have come out and lost their children. there are firefighters that have come out injured. that we don't know if they would even come out safe. people have lost their homes, children have seen things, people jumping out the window. we just need to rebuild as a community

and heart burn after mr. divine. steve: after what happened? alexandria, virginia had the #hunt republican congressman. huh? brian: he thought that was responsible. steve: just a little crazy. ainsley: guy who does interviews on top of his head? very casual guy. brian: i don't know where i put them. let me check the monitor. steve: talk a little bit about giving the harsh rhetoric some of the unusual things that bernie sanders and elizabeth warren said last night on a facebook live telecast. we will talk about that in a minute. in the meantime our lead story otto warmbier, the 22-year-old from the university of virginia has died. ainsley: wow, gosh. this story -- we interviewed his parents when they hadn't heard in from him in 17, 18 months. is he in north korea traveling on a college trip. tries to take a propaganda poster, and is thrown in prison, and apparently they beet him to death. he comes back to the u.s. in a coma, in a vegetative state and died yesterday at 2:20 p.m. brian: this outlaw regime has to be unearthed, stopped, and this lea

. >> mr. president we are beginning to receive the bits of information about the senate republican health care bill which is, until now, been shrouded in absolute secrecy. i can see why, even as we continue to get more details, broad outlines are clear.ns who this is a bill designed to strip away healthcare benefits and protections from americans whon need it most in order to give a tax break to the folks who need it least. this is a bill that would and medicaid as we know it, rolling back medicaid expansion, cutting federal support for the program, even more than the house bill, which cut medicaid byaid $800 billion, let me remind everyone in this chamber, medicaid is not just a healthgh insurance program for americans struggling in poverty, though that is an important and necessary part of it. medicaid is increasingly a middle-class program. medicaid is how many the wayid that were able to access opioid abuse treatment, medicaid but the bill for two thirds of all americans living in nursing

in occasional spurts towards mr. sessions. he's got people who have been with him from the beginning like jeff sessions, on board very early. now he's even shooting a round at them. >> it seems like the root of this is donald's trepidation over the russia probe. at the end of the day, that's what's making him so uneasy and so nervous. you see in the run-up to thursday's testimony with former fbi director comey, he's very nervous. this is -- the behavior pattern he's demonstrating right now is not normal. i kind of just want to dispense with political correctness and say what everyone is thinking, this behavior is crazy. he needs to get a grip. he's president of the united states, commander-in-chief and acting unhinged from the oval office. that is damaging to our national security. it's damaging to the interest of our country. he's got to get a grip. >> i agree with that, of course. i think there's also a second piece to this which is that nothing is getting done. there are something like 559 positions -- senior posi

speaker, exhausted from their work who went into a burning building to save people, i said why do you do it? why do you go in because you know it is difficult? it's because we are firefighters and what we are trained to do. we need more of them. there needs to be greater security for all of them in the future. we have to properly fund our fire services, not just at a time in crisis. mr. speaker, i welcome the fact of the questionery, but can we take action now? and the council for its ommitment this week to install sprinklers. but such minimal fire safety standards cannot be left to a post-cod lottery. will you make emergency funds to councils and restore sprinklers? the government should be committed to a public safety bill to implement the recommendations of the 2013 inquiry into the fire and revert its guidance to remove a requirement to remove sprinklers. it could do so. additional to any other recommendations that come from the tower inquiry. >> what he said about sprinkler systems to high-rise flats. we have 116 in my city. at the moment, only eight knows the recommendations hav

and talking to those firefighters, mr speaker, exhausted from their work, who went into a burning building to save people, i said, "why do you do it? why do you go in when you know it's so difficult and so dangerous?" they said "because we're firefighters of the that's what we're trained to do. that's why we serve the public in the way we do." there needs to be more of them. there needs to be more of them. there has to be proper security for them in the future. we have to properly fund our fire service not just at a time of crisis. mr speaker, i welcome the fact that there is a public inquiry going into grenfell. can we take action now? i pay tribute to croydon council to install sprinklers in all blocks of ten storeys or more, but such minimum safety standards cannot be left to a postcode lottery so will the government make available emergency funds for councils to both check cladding and to install sprinklers? the government should also have committed to a public safety bill to implement the recommendations of the 2013 inquiry into the fire at lakanal house. and reverse its guidance that

logan rehearsal play they called tiger, tiger, burning bright. it's not a plate you would know but in 62 -- it had an all-black cast which was interesting. diana stands, al freeman junior a lot of names that broadway people when know and i watched them rehearsal and it was amazing. when you watch a broadway show in rehearsal you are seeing the creative process of the director, correcting, claudette o'neill, was a mid- black have the woman in her mid- 50s and she was doing something on stage that he didn't like and they had an argument in one of the arguments was so interesting and i kept notes -- later on with this knowledge put it into the piece and there's a piece called tiger, tiger, burning bright or something like that. what i'm talking to you about is the importance of being there. hanging out, showing up. today i don't want to to abruptly change subjects but technology is taking over. i think it took over in the 60s when i was still in the newspaper and i saw more and more people using tape recorders and that means they'd walk out and shov

brent: mr. murphy, we certainly appreciate your time. we will be talking to you the day after this coming up on this program. phil murphy from manchester. thank you. >> thank you. goodbye. brent: negotiators from both of the united kingdom and the european union will meet next monday to formally start brexit talks. that is despite the dramatic loss theresa may's government was handed in last week's election. the results without a majority in parliament and weakened her position in the upcoming brexit talks. they have less than two years to hammer out an agreement before the u.k. leaves the eu. for more on this, i am joined now by our brussels correspondent. good evening to you. the chips have not fallen in london yet, but both sides are pushing ahead with the talks, . why? >> if we look at theresa may first, she wants to show that her government is up and running and she is aware of what kind of a laughingstock it would be if she was not able to show up for these crucial talks after calling in these unnecessary elections if you want to c

i want to ask mr. comey that is an accurate representation of what occurred and find out more about those three separate occasions. >> what do you think chairman burns leadership of this investigation has been like? senator collins: i think they have done in excellent job. they have been aggressive, picked up the pace in recent community --r committee has sought the right to issue subpoenas for documents and testimony without having to come back to us for permission. i think that is all progress. thank you. senator susan collins, republican of maine. one of the 15 members of the senate intelligence committee who will be able to ask former director comey about his interactions with the president when he sits before them in that this morning. 10:00 a.m. is when the hearing gets underway. we will bring you to the room half an hour early at 9:30 on today here on the washington journal, here on c-span. if you will not be able to watch, you can still listen. we have a download on your phone, the free c-span

the front runner for replacing mrs. may, boris johnson, just crashed and burned yesterday in a television interview. alix: bob michele and tina fordham sticking with us. coming up tomorrow, we have special coverage for you, marking one year since the brexit vote. live from new york and london, this is bloomberg. ♪ david: republican senators have doorsorking behind closed to come up with a replacement for obamacare they can agree on. joining us for a preview is kevin cirilli. what can we expect to hear today? the senate health care bill put forward by mitch mcconnell will revolve around a couple of points. out the acae medicaid expansion and provide tax credits for people buying individual insurance as well as protections for people with pre-existing conditions. it is a bit more slow dated than the house version. the house version would force folks to adopt by 2018. this would only begin repealing parts of obamacare by 2020. it faces a very uncertain future in the senate with both conservatives and more moderate member

mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority whip. mr. cornyn: reserving the right to object. mr. president, none of these senators have read the bill. it's -- i have the floor, mr. president. the bill is 142 pages long compared to 2,700-page long obamacare bill. they can read the bill. if they have objections to the provisions, we can debate them but what they're talking about is a bill that does not exist which they have not read. i object. the presiding officer: the objection is heard. mr. schumer: mr. president? the presiding officer: minority leader. mr. schumer: would my dear colleague from texas yield for a question? the presiding officer: the senator from texas does not have the floor. you have the floor. mr. schumer: i would like to just then tell the -- my friend from texas, this is the bill. it was posted online a half-hour before we came online. and i'd ask a page to come over and bring it to my dear friend and ask him if this is the bill, which we have read. mr. cornyn: mr. presid

mr. cornyn: mr. president, maybe i misunderstood the question initially. i would suggest to the senator from michigan that it is the democrats under obamacare who burned down the house because the individual market for health care has been decimated -- decimated -- and we are coming to the rescue of those millions of people who don't have employer-provided insurance, they don't get their coverage under medicare or any other government program. they get it from the individual market. you are talking about individuals and small businesses. right now people have almost no choices in many parts of the country and those who have choices simply don't have it -- it is simmably unaffordable -- simply unaffordable. it is an important conversation to have on drug prices and medicare. i'm happy to do that. that would do nothing, zip, zero, nada to help the people who are hurting now as far as obamacare and that's who we are determined to help by passing this legislation after an open-amendment process and fulsome debate. the presiding officer: the senator from michig

the house burned to the ground in 1865. fdr's father, james roosevelt, purchased this property in the hudson valley. his parents were james and sarah delano roosevelt. mr. james roosevelt had a wife before sarah named rebecca howland. she passed away in 1876. in 1880, mr. james married sarah delano. when he married sarah, he was 52 years old, and she was only 26 years old. she was half his age. james and sarah only had the one child, franklin delano roosevelt. when mr. james roosevelt bought this property in 1867, it was a 17 room farmhouse with about 110 acres of land and several outbuildings. he paid the price of what would be an expensive car these days, but back then it would have been a rather nice amount of money. he had a growing family, and he decided as early as 1907 that he was going to be, president of the united states one day -- going to become president of the united states one day. quite often, events would be held here such as when he announced he would run for vice president of the united states. the big an

and talking to those firefighters, mr. speaker, kpautkpau exhausted from their work who went into a burning building to save people, i said why do you do it? why did you go in when you know it's so difficult and dangerous? they said because we're firefighters. we need more of them. there needs to be greater security for all of them in the future. we have to properly fund our fire services not just at a time of crises. mr. speaker, i welcome the fact there's a possible inquiry going on into grenfell, but i pay tribute to those councils for its commitment this week to install sprinklers on all tower blocks of ten stories or more. but so minimal safety standards cannot be left. so will the government make available emergency funds for council to check cladding and to install sprinklers? the government should also be committed to a public safety bill, to implement recommendations of the 2013 inquiry into the fire at lackana house and reverse the requirement to install sprinklers into new school buildings. it will still do so a
